    The snow continued to fall, its silent descent a relentless barrage upon the earth. It had been a long time since the restoration of the Xia Dynasty. The entire world was covered in snow.

    A few crows appeared out of nowhere, dark wings pping as they flew across the sky towards the tallest pce in the capital city, bing the only apparent living creatures in this quiet world.

    ¡°Sister!¡± The young emperor dressed in the imperial robe cried. Tears streamed down his face as he was filled with grief. The person whom he addressed as ¡®Sister¡¯ was the most legendary Eldest Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± The face of the woman lying on the bed was pale, but the gentleness in her eyes could not be hidden. Even though she had been bedridden for many days, her words still carried undeniable strength. Perhaps it was ingrained within her, having held a high position for a long time.

    ¡°I have taught you whatever I could. You must treat the loyal officials well and take good care of Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiao.¡±

    Upon seeing Xia Wanyuan trying her best to raise her hand, the Xia Emperor reached out to hold her immediately. A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. She nced at her younger brother, who had grown into a man with a kingly air, and her younger siblings, who were crying in front of her bed.

    ¡°It is time for me to go.¡± With the limited strength she had remaining, Xia Wanyuan could no longer speak. She paused for a moment. ¡°I will hand the Xia Dynasty over to you.¡±

    Saying those words had depleted all of her strength. Xia Wanyuan gradually closed her eyes. The cries grew louder, but it seemed to not bother her anymore. Eventually, the sounds faded into the distance gradually.

    The eldest princess of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan, who brought up the Xia Emperor single-handedly, recruited all the talents in the world andid a solid foundation for the Great Tian Yuan era, had passed away in the fifth year of Tian Yuan.

    The Xia Emperor held a state funeral and buried the Eldest Princess in the Imperial Mausoleum. From then on, the most beautiful Eldest Princess was sealed in history.

    The evening sun shone on the vi that was located halfway up the mountain. Through the huge French windows, the sunlight shone on the face of the woman in the house. A gentle breeze blew past, causing the wind chimes to tinkle.

    Seemingly disturbed by the sound of the wind chimes, the woman on the bed frowned. Her eyshes fluttered twice before she finally opened her eyes slowly, revealing a pair of ss-like eyes. However, there was a look of confusion in her eyes.

    The woman on the bed remained in this motionless position for about half an hour. If not for the flickering of her big eyes, others would have thought that she had fallen asleep again.

    After digesting the newfound memories in her head, Xia Wanyuan took a deep breath. She raised her hand and pinched her arm. It hurt a little, and she finally epted that what was happening to her was true.

    She, who had clearly died, had somehowe back to life. It was just that the current her was reborn in the body of a woman, who had the same name as her, a thousand yearster.

    This Xia Wanyuan, who was born a thousand yearster, was also from a wealthy family. However, the way she did things was reckless and wild. She had a gathering with a group of friends the previous night, and she became so drunk that the chauffeur had to send her home.

    Speaking of which, it was quite pathetic. Even though she was surrounded by people outside, nobody noticed that she had been poisoned by alcohol after the bustle. Not long after being helped onto the bed by the nanny, the original owner of the body lost consciousness. Unfortunately, no matter how she struggled, no one came to save her. When she opened her eyes again, this body had already been upied by a soul from a thousand years past.

    Taking her time, she allowed herself to sit up slowly as she examined the scene in front of her. Recalling the remaining memories that had flooded into her consciousness, Xia Wanyuan was somewhat surprised and emotional. She truly did not expect that the current human race would develop to this point. To think that inventions and developments upon society had surpassed all expectations in this present day and age.

    Those memories filled her with knowledge on things she had never known, the advent of technology, the mundane creations that made the day-to-day more convenient¡­ Perhaps things that one would take for granted.

    Her body was mmy and had an unpleasant smell of a mix of alcohol and an unknown fragrance. Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket and got off the bed. The resulting headache from her hangover made her stagger. Stepping on the soft wool carpet, she still felt unreal.

    Following the original owner¡¯s memory, she walked into the bathroom. The person in the mirror looked very disheveled. Her curly hair was a mess, and her makeup was smudged. The bright red lips were a huge shock to Xia Wanyuan.

    Hands fumbling, she turned the unfamiliar switch in the bathroom and within moments, soothing music began to y. The warm water that had been automatically adjusted sshed on her body. Xia Wanyuan took a long shower and washed away the filth on her body. It was only then that she finally felt a little better.

    Once she had cleaned herself thoroughly, she stood in front of the mirror. The face in the mirror actually looked the same as Xia Wanyuan in her previous life. To be able to be called the most beautiful Eldest Princess of the Xia Dynasty, her appearance was naturally extraordinary.

    However, ever since the country was in turmoil when she was young, she had to raise her younger brothers and sisters while maintaining power on the political battlefield. The Eldest Princess, who had tempered herself for many years in the past, was naturally no longer the same person as when she was young.

    But the current Xia Wanyuan in front of the mirror was only twenty-two years old. She was in her prime, and her skin was as white as jade. Her lips curled into a smile. The original Xia Wanyuan liked to look down on others from above, which made her beautiful eyes seem a little fierce. But now, Xia Wanyuan had a calm and elegant air between her brows. In a daze, she seemed to be shining brightly like a speck of dust on a bright pearl that had been brushed away.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was only wrapped in a bathrobe, was still somewhat unustomed to the way she was dressed. However, the people of the Xia Dynasty were not that conservativepared to others. After all, in this chaotic world, there were not many things to be particr about. Moreover, Xia Wanyuan had never been a person who adhered to the rules. Since the current era was like this, she would follow the style of the times.

    The bedroom was huge, with an apanying balcony that was equallyrge. Spotting a chair on the balcony, Xia Wanyuan walked towards it and sat down.

    The weather today was especially good. As evening approached,rge patches of fiery clouds dyed the sky red. It was already spring, and the gentle breeze made people feel extremelyfortable.

    She had single-handedly raised the Xia Emperor, who had grown up to be able to bear the heavy responsibilities of the empire. Hence, she had passed away without any worries or regrets in her heart. So, what was the reason for her to be reborn here?

    Xia Wanyuan thought about it for a while. Suddenly, she decided to let it go.

    She had always believed in fate. Since the heavens allowed her toe here, she might as well go with the flow. Xia Wanyuan brushed her hair and smiled at the sky, her eyes filled with relief and a sense of serenity.

    But thinking of the mess left behind by the body¡¯s original owner, Xia Wanyuan felt dizzy. The original owner of the body was good at causing trouble.

    Just as she was sorting out theplicated rtionships of the original owner of the body, a beautiful melody suddenly rang. Xia Wanyuan cautiously straightened her back. Remembering that this was the ringtone of her cell phone, she rxed and walked to the bed. She reached for it, finding it under the mass of sheets and nkets.

    She had just tapped on the screen to answer the call when the person on the other end of the line behaved as if he was ignited like a firecracker.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, why can¡¯t you stop doing stupid things? Do you still know that you¡¯re a public figure?! Last night, someone posted a video of you being drunk. Don¡¯t you think that you have gained enough hate?! You¡¯ve dragged thepany down with you again and again! Do you really think you¡¯re a princess?!¡±

    Scanning her mind to match the voice on the phone, she finally identified it. This person should be her manager.

    Xia Wanyuan came from a good family and had good looks. When she entered the entertainment industry, thepany valued her, so they sent her an experienced manager, Chen Yun. Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were poor and she was arrogant beyondparison, her family was rich and had capital. Over the years, she had been criticized by countless people, but she was still popr and had a ce in the entertainment industry.

    Speaking of which, it was a little strange. In her previous life, being an entertainer was not a respected profession. It was unexpected that this job would be so popr now.

    If it was in the past, Chen Yun would definitely not dare to speak to Xia Wanyuan in such a manner. However, now that the investors had withdrawn their investments one after another, and the stocks had fallen rapidly, the Xia family was facing the threat of destruction. Onlyst night, the Xia Corporation had officially dered bankruptcy. Xia Wanyuan, who used to be the eldest daughter of the rich Xia family, no longer had the resources or backing to be arrogant, and this had led to her recent alcohol indulgence.

    On the other end of the phone, Chen Yun was still talking non-stop, as if he had been suppressed too much in the past. Now, he finally had a chance to vent.

    ¡°Hey! Did you hear me!¡±

    ¡°Come over tomorrow. We¡¯ll settle this then.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, and the world finally quieted down.

    Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Chen Yun froze. It was true that the voice on the other end of the line was Xia Wanyuan, but why did he feel that something was wrong? Shouldn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan be cursing at him? Why did she be so calm, and what was with thatmanding tone?

    ¡°What a joke! I must have suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck to be working with this unlucky star.¡±

    After cursing softly, Chen Yun immediately took a taxi to thepany to clean up the mess caused by Xia Wanyuan. Meanwhile, in the vi, Xia Wanyuan was curiously experiencing new things that she had never seen before.

    The original Xia Wanyuan had a mboyant personality, so all she had was over-the-top clothing and essories to match. The wild mashup of color made her head hurt. Since the wardrobe was filled with bright-colored clothes, Xia Wanyuan had to rummage through them for a long time before finding a light blue knee-length silk dress to change into.

    Picking up her phone, she walked to the first floor where she found servants preparing a meal in the kitchen. When they heard her, they came out instantly. ¡°Miss, dinner is almost ready.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan slightly raised her brows. Based on her memories, the original owner of the body was married. However, she had only gotten the chance to enter the Jun family by drugging her husband and getting herself impregnated. Hence, her husband had demanded her not to publicize their rtionship, although everyone in this vi knew about her.

    <i>¡®So they address me as ¡®Miss¡¯ instead of ¡®Madam¡¯. It seemed like the original owner of the body was really not well-liked.¡¯</i>

    ¡°Go and arrange a car. I¡¯m going out.¡±

    ¡°Miss, where are you going?¡± Nanny Li, who had been waiting on her for a long time, was thoroughly disgusted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. She had just returned home after drinking so muchst night, and now she was going out again after waking up. She did not like the way Xia Wanyuan acted.

    ¡°I said, send a car.¡± She slightly emphasized her words, which attracted Nanny Li¡¯s attention. Nanny Li raised her head and was stunned when she saw Xia Wanyuan.

    The woman in front of her had worn a light blue silk dress, with her curly hair hanging loosely on her shoulders. The face that was alwaysden with makeup was bare, making her look intelligent and refreshing like the lush mountains after the rain. And what made her most afraid to look straight at her was that pair of imposing eyes.

    ¡°Okay, I will have them arrange it now.¡± Before her brain could react, she had already subconsciously voiced her obedience.

    The ck car stopped in front of the door and the chauffeur opened the door for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°International Kindergarten.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Miss.¡± The chauffeur was not used to hearing her go to ces other than a bar or a restaurant. ¡®<i>What¡¯s wrong with Miss Xia today?¡¯</i>

 Chapter 2

    <h4>Chapter 2: Little Dumpling</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan leaned against the leather seat while the car drove at a steady speed. Thanks to the excellent performance of the car, even though the scenery outside the window passed by like a blur, she could not feel the vibrations of the car inside.

    After the restoration of the dynasty in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had always received the highest treatment as the princess regent. However,pared to modern cars, even the most luxurious carriage was not worth mentioning.

    Everything reflected brilliantly in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes¡ªrow upon row of towering skyscrapers, the neon lights that had already begun to light up, the endless stream of pedestrians, and the hustle and bustle of the busy streets.

    <i>¡®How nice.¡¯</i>

    Xia Wanyuan let out a heartfelt sigh. She had also enjoyed life as a royal family member when she was young. After<i>?</i>the imperial court was destroyed, she had to take care of her siblings through chaotic times, experiencing many upheavals, and had lived through many vicissitudes.

    Now that she saw such peace and tranquility in the world, she felt a sense of calmness from the bottom of her heart. She finally had a feeling of integrating into this era.

    While she was deep in thought, she did not notice that the car had stopped.

    ¡°Miss, we¡¯re here.¡± Xia Wanyuan only pulled herself out of her thoughts when the chauffeur reminded her.

    ¡°Wait here.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door and got out of the car. When she left the house, she had put on a long jacket over her skirt. However, it was still a little chilly on the evening of spring. She could not help but roll down her sleeves.

    The International Kindergarten was the most prestigious kindergarten in Beijing. The children who attended this kindergarten were either rich or noble. She seemed to have arrived a littlete, and there were only a few people left in front of the kindergarten.

    Realizing that school was over, Xia Wanyuan felt a little regretful. She turned around and was about to go back. However, just as she turned around, she seemed to have sensed something and turned back to take a look. She saw a pair of clear, grape-like eyes staring at her through the window of the kindergarten guard¡¯s office.

    Perhaps it was due to the magical mother-son connection, Xia Wanyuan guessed that this child was probably the product of the original owner of the body and her nominal husband¡¯s one-night stand. Because the original owner of the body had a difficultbor, she had to struggle for an entire day and night before giving birth. In addition, her husband had never given her any attention, so she vented her anger on this child, never fulfilling her motherly duty, and hated this child very much.

    But since Xia Wanyuan had epted this body, she would not watch her child grow up like an orphan. When she was ten, her father and mother had both died for the country. She understood all too well how lonely and painful it was to have no one to rely on.

    With that thought in mind, Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked towards the child.

    She pushed open the door to the guardhouse and saw the child¡¯s face. Xia Wanyuan confirmed that he was her child.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, Mommy¡¯s here to pick you up. Come home with Mommy.¡±

    Crouching down, Xia Wanyuan looked at the adorable and chubby little dumpling. She recalled the child¡¯s nickname and spoke gently.

    However, the little dumpling appeared to be slightly resistant. He nced at her with teary eyes and lowered his head in hesitation and sorrow.

    ¡°Eh? Little girl, are you a liar? Little kid, is she really your mother?¡±

    At first, the guard thought that the overly beautiful girl looked a little like the little kid, but seeing the child¡¯s resistance, he began to suspect that the woman was here to kidnap and sell the child. His hand quietly reached for the pager.

    Hearing the guard¡¯s words, the little dumpling lifted his head and nced once more at Xia Wanyuan. Yet in her eyes, he could see warmth and gentleness that he had never seen before. In the past, his mother would never look at him this way. She would only tell him to scram whenever he got close to her. But now, she looked so warm, and he could not help but want to get closer to her.

    ¡°Xiao Bao,e back with Mommy, alright?¡± Looking at the little dumpling¡¯s pitiful gaze, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached with tender affection. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out and stroke his soft hair. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this little cub left behind by the original owner of her body was adorable.

    The little dumpling was stunned when he was suddenly touched on the head. His alreadyrge eyes grew evenrger. Was this the feeling of having a mother?

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The little dumpling had never experienced what it was like to have a mother. He was so envious of his friends in kindergarten who had parentsing to pick them up every day. Even if his mother was just acting on a whim, it didn¡¯t matter. He still wanted to feel like he had a mother.

    Upon hearing the little dumpling¡¯s affirmative reply, the security guard was finally willing to let him go. Xia Wanyuan held the little dumpling¡¯s hand and walked towards their car.

    The chauffeur sat in the car and watched as Xia Wanyuan held the little master¡¯s hand and walked towards him. They were surprisingly harmonious.?<i>¡®Miss Xia had never liked her child. Has the sun risen from the west today?¡¯</i>

    However, the Young Master disliked the so-called Madam very much and did not allow Little Master to get close to her. ¡®Does the Young Master know about this? What is Miss Xia trying to do?¡¯ Reminded of Master¡¯s ruthless means, the chauffeur could not help but shiver.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Xia Wanyuan brought Xiao Bao into the car. The chauffeur was still in a daze.

    ¡°Yes, Miss.¡±

    Forget it, he was just a nobody. Why should he worry so much? With that, the chauffeur quickly started the car.

    ¡°Young Master, the kindergarten said that Young Master was taken away by Miss Xia. We checked the surveince cameras and it was indeed Miss Xia.¡±

    This piece of news received from the earphone stopped the man from looking at the document. A trace of disgust shed across his eyes.

    ¡°Bring Little Master back to the manor. Have you drafted the divorce agreement?¡±

    ¡°Thewyers are all in position and the documents have been drafted. They will be sent to your office tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, the luxurious office fell silent once again. The cold environment did not fit in with the bustling world outside the window.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan returned to the vi with her little dumpling, the sky had already darkened and filled with stars.

    The little dumpling had been wrapped in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms ever since they had boarded the car. He was a bundle of softness with a hint of innocence. Because he had nevere into contact with Xia Wanyuan in such a manner before, he appeared to be rather restrained.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go inside for dinner, Xiao Bao.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan carried the little dumpling out of the car and held his hand.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan call his nickname, the little dumpling¡¯s chubby cheeks flushed red. It was the first time his mother had called him Xiao Bao instead of calling him an ¡®annoying brat¡¯.

    Thinking of what his mother had called him in the past, tears of grievance welled up in his eyes. He secretly turned his head to look at Xia Wanyuan. How nice would it be if his mother had always been so gentle to him?

    Sensing her son¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan turned her head and saw the adorable child pouting and looking at her with tears in his eyes. Her heart softened.

    In her previous life, she did not have her own children as she had spent all her energy on restoring the Xia Dynasty and taking care of her younger siblings. Now that she had such a small child that belonged to her, her eyes were filled with tenderness.

    Crouching down to meet his height, she touched the child¡¯s head and looked straight into his big eyes.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, what happened in the past was Mommy¡¯s mistake. Mommy will treat you very well in the future.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the little dumpling¡¯s eyes widened. His mother said that she would treat him well. Was this true?

    He had been pushed away again and again whenever he tried to get closer to her initially. He had already made up his mind to ignore this bad mother of his, but he still needed her. He yearned for her love.

    Seeing the gentle smile on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and feeling the warmth of her hand on his head, he finally broke into a smile and pounced into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embrace.

    When the bundle of joy pounced into her arms. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart trembled, perhaps due to the bond between the mother and son.

    Upon hearing the sound of the car, Nanny Li came out to wee them. She was already shocked that Xia Wanyuan would be back for dinner, but what was even shocking was when she saw the mother and son hugging each other happily. Didn¡¯t Miss Xia hate Little Master? What was going on?

    However, after her long experience of serving the family, she naturally knew what to do and what not to do. She controlled the expression on her face and walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss, Little Master, the food is ready. Please enjoy your dinner.¡±

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan let go of Xiao Bao, but he seemed a little reluctant. His mother¡¯s embrace was too warm for him to let go. He looked at Nanny Li resentfully before takingrge strides to keep up with Xia Wanyuan.

    Nanny Li stood rooted to the ground. How did she offend Little Master?

    When they entered the house, the servants had already set up the dishes. Steam curled up under the light.

    ¡°We didn¡¯t know that Miss and Little Master woulde back together, so we only had time to make some home-cooked dishes. We will make the food again.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan had been staying here for three years after her marriage, she had always treated this ce as a ce to sleep. She would go out whenever she had time, and rarely ate at home.

    Because the servants received their wages no matter what, they would cook a meal every night regardless of whether she was at home or not. However, because no one ate the food, they would simply cook a few simple dishes and share them.

    She nced at the dishes on the table. There were four dishes and a soup. The meal was a little simple to the original owner of the body who used to splurge but not to the current Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No need, we¡¯ll just eat this. Nanny Li, take Little Master to wash his hands.¡±

    The servants, who thought they would be scolded by Xia Wanyuan, were all surprised. Wasn¡¯t Miss Xia too easygoing today? What was going on?

    Since the temperature in the vi had been regted all year round, Xia Wanyuan took off her coat. Modern technology that could increase people¡¯sfort amazed her once again.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m done washing my hands.¡±

    After washing his tiny hands, the little dumpling skipped his way over to Xia Wanyuan and stared at her with hisrge eyes.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan hated it whenever he addressed her as ¡®Mommy¡¯. However, because she was exceptionally gentle today, he couldn¡¯t help it. Would his mother scold him like before?

    Upon hearing the little dumpling¡¯s voice and seeing the careful look in his eyes, Xia Wanyuan smiled gently and pacified him, ¡°Thene and eat with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Xiao Bao was overjoyed. His fair little hand carefully grabbed Xia Wan Yuan¡¯s hand and sat beside her.

    ¡°Have some meat and some vegetables.¡±

    Xiao Bao buried his head in his bowl, his chubby cheeks bulging like a little hamster as he ate the food Xia Wanyuan had given him.

    Under the light, Xia Wanyuan, who was helping herself with the food, looked exceedingly gentle and quiet. She had an aura that made people calm down. If not for her appearance, everyone would have thought that she was somebody else.

    Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them, the servants felt emotional. Although Little Master grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, Young Master was too busy and Miss Xia never cared about him. This child was actually quite pitiful.

    The happy and innocent look on him was just like how a three-year-old child should be.

    Estimating a child¡¯s appetite, Xia Wanyuan knew that he would be full after eating a bowl of rice. She then got someone to clear away the food.

    In her previous life, when she was busy recruiting talents, she often had to skip meals. This caused Xia Wanyuan to suffer from severe gastric problems. Hence, after she had returned to the court and settled down, she developed the habit of taking a stroll after meals.

    Before she entered the vi, she had taken a nce at the surroundings. The courtyard that the vi came with was much smaller than the imperial garden in her previous life, but it was stillrge enough for a walk.

    ¡°It¡¯s good for your health to take a walk after dinner. Let¡¯s go for a walk and thene back to shower and sleep, okay?¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Given his luck today, Xiao Bao would agree to anything Xia Wanyuan said. He looked at Xia Wanyuan with his big eyes that were filled with trust and adoration.

    Pinching Xiao Bao¡¯s adorable little face, Xia Wanyuan put on her coat before helping him to put on his. Then, she led him to the courtyard.

    The courtyard in front of the vi was about the size of a football field. The well-groomed flower bed emitted waves of soft fragrance and the asional chirping of insects could be heard.

    Xia Wanyuan strolled slowly with Xiao Bao. The gentle breeze caressed her face, making her feel pleasant.

    From time to time, Xiao Bao would look up at Xia Wanyuan. Feeling Xiao Bao¡¯s dependence on her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart softened. She pulled Xiao Bao to the swing set in the courtyard and hugged him.

    ¡°Mommy, there are so many stars today!¡± Xiao Bao leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embrace. The smell of his mother made him feel extremely blessed.

    ¡°Well, of course. Do you know what star that is?¡±

    Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s finger, Xiao Bao saw an especially bright star shining in the sky.

    ¡°I know, Mommy. My teacher taught me that it¡¯s called Pris.¡±

    Xiao Bao was young but intelligent. Going to kindergarten was only to put him in an environment where he couldmunicate with other children. Other than going to kindergarten, he also attended additional tuition. Therefore,pared to children his age, he was smarter and more knowledgeable.

    ¡°Then do you know who turned into Pris?¡±

    This question was too difficult for Xiao Bao. He looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.

    ¡°There used to be two very good friends, one named the Antarctic God and the other Arctic God. One day¡­¡±

    The stars twinkled in the sky and the insects chirped in the garden. Xia Wanyuan patiently told Xiao Bao the legendary stories she had seen in the books previously.

    As time passed, a cool breeze blew past and brought a slight chill.

    ¡°It¡¯s alreadyte. You still have to shower before you go to bed, so let¡¯s go in.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. His mother was amazing. She knew everything!

    Just as she got up and was about to enter the house, she heard the sound of a car at the entrance.

    As Xia Wanyuan turned towards the direction of the door, her brows raised slightly. What should havee hade.

    The door opened, and a handsome young man with sses alighted from the car. He was surprised when he saw the mother and son holding hands in the courtyard, but he quickly regained hisposure and hurried over.

    ¡°Miss Xia, Little Master has to go to school tomorrow, so he needs to go back and rest early. Little Master needs to wake up early. Miss Xia, please don¡¯t disrupt Little Master¡¯s studies in the future.¡±

    Lin Jing stood in front of Xia Wanyuan and spoke in his usual perfunctory manner. However, after speaking for a long time, he did not receive the reprimand that was expected from her. He looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise and held his breath.

    The lights in the courtyard were dim. He had just rushed over and had not had the time to carefully observe this unacknowledged wife of his young master.

    When he took a closer look at the person in front of him, he realized that she was not wearing any makeup. Under the illumination of the lights, her perfect facial features were added with an unknown charm. She was calm, elegant, and stood gracefully. Even he, the executive assistant of the CEO, who had seen millions of beauties, was somewhat amazed.

    ¡°Miss Xia?¡±

    The person in front of him was clearly Xia Wanyuan, but he could not help but to confirm again as if the person before him had overturned his understanding.

    ¡°You¡¯re here to pick Xiao Bao up. Why are you asking me? Ask him,¡± a cold voice responded. Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.

    ¡°Little Master?¡± Lin Jing suppressed the doubt in his heart and put on a standard smile as he squatted down to ask Xiao Bao.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back. I want to be with Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao took two steps back and reached out to hug Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg.

    A strange look shed across Lin Jing¡¯s eyes. Although the child was only three years old, as the only grandson of the Jun family, his words had much more authority than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    Seeing how close the little master was to Xia Wanyuan, Lin Jing was very surprised. However, since the little master was unwilling to return, he could not force him to. He then stood up.

    ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you then. Miss Xia, remember to take Little Master to school tomorrow morning.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan brought Xiao Bao back into the house.

    Lin Jing watched the elegant Xia Wanyuan from behind and narrowed his eyes. He turned around and walked out, got into the car, and took out his phone to make a call.

    When she returned to the house, Nanny Li, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Special Assistant Lin did not take the little master away. ¡®Could it be that this ¡®Madam¡¯ might be a real ¡®Madam¡¯ soon?¡¯ She immediately became much more respectful than before.

    Sensing Nanny Li¡¯s change in attitude, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything much other than asking her to bathe Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Mommy is going to take a shower too. I¡¯ll see youter.¡±

    Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm tightly, not wanting to be separated from her.

    Helpless, Xia Wanyuan winked at Xiao Bao and said, ¡°Go take a shower. Mommy will sleep with you tonight, okay?¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s grape-like eyes widened and sparkled like glittering gems. He had never slept with Mommy before!

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ll go take a shower right away!¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could reply, Xiao Bao had already dragged Nanny Li into the bathroom.

    A helpless smile formed on her lips and Xia Wanyuan walked up to the bedroom on the second floor to wash up.

    Xia Wanyuan studied the bottles and jars on the dressing table for a long time. She was amazed at how the skincare products made her skin moist and supple.

    No matter what era it was, there was no woman who did not like to be beautiful. After taking a shower, she slowly applied the skincare products ording to the instructions on the bottles while Xiao Bao waited for her on the bed.

    The little dumpling¡¯s skin was pink and tender after all of the steam in the bathroom, and a few strands of hair could be seen sticking out from its fluffy head. Hisrge eyes nced asionally in the direction of the door.

    ¡°Mommy!¡±

    Finally, he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s silhouette appear at the door. Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up, and he kept waving at Xia Wanyuan with his fair and tender arms.

    ¡°Come to Mommy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had a smile in her eyes. She lifted the nket and pulled Xiao Bao into her arms. The soft bundle of joy hadpletely aroused Xia Wanyuan¡¯s maternal instincts.

    ¡°What did you do at school today?¡± Xia Wanyuan knew how important it was tomunicate with children as she had raised her younger siblings.

    ¡°This morning, the teacher taught us nursery rhymes, andter taught us poetry¡­¡± Xiao Bao excitedlyy in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, sharing his life in school with her. As he spoke, his voice dropped.

    Lowering her head, Xia Wanyuan looked at the soft little ball in her arms. As she looked at the little dumpling, she could not help herself and lightly kiss his forehead.

    Soon after they settled down to rest, the night quietened down into its peaceful slumber. The moonlight shone on the mother and son who were sleeping in each other¡¯s arms, enshrouding the pair in ayer of bright radiance.

    The next morning, before Xia Wanyuan woke up, she felt a ball of warmth in her arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Bao staring at her with his big eyes that reflected her figure. His long eyshes fluttered.

    Having been attacked by his cuteness so early in the morning, a wide smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you awake so early?¡±

    ¡°So what happened yesterday wasn¡¯t a dream. Mommy, will you be like yesterday in the future?¡± Xiao Bao clung tightly to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders as if wanting to confirm that everything was real.

    Seeing thebination of trepidation and yearning on Xiao Bao¡¯s face, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart softened. How insecure must this little child be to repeatedly confirm that she would always treat him well?

    ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll be like how I was yesterday from now on. Mommy will pick you up today too, okay?¡±

    ¡°Alright, you have to keep your word. Pinky promise!¡±

    As Xiao Bao spoke, he reached out his tiny hand and she matched Xiao Bao¡¯s little finger with hers,pleting their agreement.

    After breakfast, she got the chauffeur to take Xiao Bao to school. It was with great reluctance that Xiao Bao left Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mommy will be waiting for you at home. Be good at school.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and kissed Xiao Bao on the cheek. Only then did Xiao Bao get into the car, his face flushed with embarrassment.

    The servants on the side watched the interaction between Xia Wanyuan and the little master. They did not show it on their faces, but they were shocked.

    Yesterday, she had asked Chen Yun over to discuss some matters. It was not time yet, so Xia Wanyuan returned to the house, dismissed the servants, and went shopping by herself. After all, she was still very interested in modern things.

    The owner of the body was not a book lover, but there was a study in the vi. In order not to make the empty bookshelves look too ugly, she had bought many books and ced them on the shelves.

    Xia Wanyuan casually picked up a book and sat on the sofa on the first floor. She rested her head on a pillow and started reading.

    The servants saw that not only did Xia Wanyuan not leave the house, but she even took out a book to read. What in the world was she up to? Was she preparing to change her persona?

    They initially thought that she would reveal her true colors after flipping through a few pages. However, she sat on the sofa for two to three hours without moving and had read more than half of the book.

    Chen Yun had been scolded by the higher management of Star Creations Entertainment early in the morning, so he came to find Xia Wanyuan with a stomach full of anger. The moment he entered, he saw Xia Wanyuan, who was leaning on the sofa by the French window, reading a book.

    She was wearing a simple, in-colored dress. Her hair was casually let down, and her exquisite facial features were devoid of any makeup. However, there was an alluring charm to her. The entire scene was filled with such a sense of serenity that no one dared to disturb her, to the point that he did not dare to scold her, despite having a stomach full of angry words.

    ¡°Brother Chen.¡± Hearing footsteps at the door, Xia Wanyuan raised her head. A pair of watery eyes looked over and sized up Chen Yun. Chen Yun held his breath and subconsciously looked away.

    ¡°Wanyuan.¡± One should not p a smiling person. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to address him as Brother Chen the moment they met, and he could not bear to make things difficult for her anymore. ¡°So you know what happened?¡±

    Looking at those ss-like eyes, Chen Yun felt a little guilty.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t fight for it for you, but you also know that your role as the female lead was originally obtained from the production team under pressure by thepany. Now that your family doesn¡¯t have any funds for the production, there¡¯s nothing I can do if the production team wants to rece you.¡±

    Actually, the main character¡¯s role was indeed obtained because Xia Wanyuan had brought funds into the production team. Now that the Xia family was bankrupt, the production team was not satisfied with Xia Wanyuan acting as the female lead. It was expected that they would take the opportunity to go back on their word. However, the contract had already been signed, and if the production team went back on their word, it would be considered a breach of contract.

    Thepany could use the contract as an excuse to pressure the production team, but it was obvious that the current Xia Wanyuan, other than her pretty face, had no value for thepany to go head-to-head with the production team.

    ¡°If I remember correctly,¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice sounded with a hint of coldness, ¡°I signed a contract with the production team. They cannot casually break the contract, right?¡±

    After sorting out the situation she was in, Xia Wanyuan felt that she would soon be kicked out of thepany. If she wanted to survive, she had to work hard. Since the owner of the body was an actress, she had to take over her job temporarily.

    Chen Yun¡¯s heart skipped a beat.?<i>¡®How have I never realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice actually sounds quite pleasant?¡¯</i>

    ¡°The contract hasn¡¯t changed. It¡¯s just that you and the original second female lead have exchanged roles. Ruan Yingyu will y the female lead, and you will y her role.¡± Chen Yun did not dare to look Xia Wanyuan in the eye, but on second thought, why should he be afraid of her?

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m fine with that. When am I supposed to start?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not¡­¡± Chen Yun, who was about to argue with Xia Wanyuan, was stunned. ¡°You agreed?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I agree. Send me the script.¡±

    With that said, she resumed her reading position and turned to look at Chen Yun. ¡°Is there anything else?¡±

    ¡°I-It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll send it to you when I get back.¡± The heaven-shaking, earth-shattering event that he had originally anticipated did not happen. In fact, the aura that Xia Wanyuan had inadvertently revealed made him feel a little short of breath. He could not help but wipe his eyes. There was nothing wrong! This woman was indeed Xia Wanyuan! Was he living in a fantasy world?¡¯

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was once again looking at the book in her hand and did not intend to speak further, Chen Yun tactfully left. Before he left, he nced at the book in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand¡ª¡¯Whistling Manor¡¯, and then at Xia Wanyuan, who seemedpletely engrossed.

    Ha, this world was indeed a fantasy.

    Even after leaving the vi, Chen Yun was still puzzled. Why did he leave obediently without even scolding her? But it was fine since Xia Wanyuan was willing to cooperate obediently.

    Initially, she was able to survive in the entertainment industry because she had brought in funds to join the production team. However, her acting skills were so bad and she always acted arrogantly. Hence, she didn¡¯t have many fans but had many haters instead.

    Since the Xia family was now bankrupt, this drama would probably be herst drama even if nothing went wrong. Chen Yun expressed his gratitude to the heavens now that he was finally going to get rid of this demanding woman!

    What surprised everyone in the vi was that Xia Wanyuan, who was usually nowhere to be seen, was actually obediently staying at home that day. After lunch, she took a nap, then in the afternoon, she took another book to read. This time, it was the little master¡¯s English book.

    They had asked themselves more than once if it was a dream.

    As evening approached, Xia Wanyuan, who had finally finished flipping through the English book, stood up and went to the kitchen.

    Nanny Li secretly looked at the thickness of the English book. Oh my! Miss Xia could really pretend. Who would believe that such a thick book could be finished in an afternoon?

    ¡°Miss.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan, who had not been in the kitchen for the longest time, had actuallye here, everyone felt uneasy. They were afraid that she would go crazy again.

    ¡°Make some light food, and make a bowl of egg soup for Little Master.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Miss.¡±

    ¡­

    Meanwhile, at the entrance of the kindergarten, the chauffeur sent by Lin Jing was in a deadlock with Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Little Master, Young Master has instructed us to bring you home for dinner today. Pleasee with us.¡±

    Xiao Bao clung tightly to the door of the guardhouse, his little mouth pouting. He didn¡¯t want to go back. He wanted to stay with Mommy!

    Having no choice, the chauffeurs tried to pull him away. However, they didn¡¯t expect the security guard to be so responsible. He stood in front of Xiao Bao and looked at them as if they were human traffickers.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chauffeur arrived. Seeing that it was the chauffeur from yesterday, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up. He pointed outside the window. ¡°Look! UFO!¡±

    Everyone subconsciously looked out of the window. Xiao Bao seized the opportunity to slip out of the gap with his school bag. ¡°Tell my father that I¡¯m going to stay with Mommy!¡±

    Before the chauffeur sent by Xia Wanyuan could enter, the little master who had rushed out pulled on his sleeve and quickly darted into the car.

    ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go!¡±

    The chauffeur did not know what had happened. He thought that the little master had encountered something terrible, and imagined the scene of a group of human traffickers wanting to kidnap him. He was so frightened that he stepped on the elerator as quickly as he could.

    By the time the driver sent by Lin Jing rushed out, all he encountered was exhaust fumes covering his face.

    ¡°Mommy!¡±

    The moment Xiao Bao got out of the car, he saw Xia Wanyuan waiting for him in the courtyard. He immediately ran towards Xia Wanyuan happily. Mommy didn¡¯t lie to him!

    ¡°Good boy. Go and wash your hands, we¡¯ll have dinner soon.¡±

    The two of them chatted andughed as they walked in holding hands. After what had happened yesterday, the servants were less shocked by the scene.

    After washing his hands, Xiao Bao sat obediently by the table, waiting for Xia Wanyuan to serve some food for him. He looked at the food on the table. Oh no, carrots! He hated carrots the most!

    But Mommy was the one who had given him the carrot! With a slight furrow on his brow, Xiao Bao took a gulp and ate the carrot decisively. As long as Mommy gave him the food, he would eat it!

    Looking at how cute and obedient Xiao Bao was, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were tinged with a smile.

    The mother and son ate happily and did not notice that someone was standing at the door.

    However, Nanny Li had noticed the figure and was preparing to go over and greet him.

    It was only then that Xia Wanyuan realized something was wrong. She looked towards the door.

    The Xia Dynasty¡¯s royal family had excellent genes, but even Xia Wanyuan, who had seen countless handsome men in the royal family, found the person standing before her to be extremely handsome.

    While some people looked good on the outside, they did not have any inner qualities that were worth a mention. Although they were outwardly beautiful, they were still unattractive.

    However, the man standing at the door was dressed in an exquisite suit that perfectly entuated his figure. He had a face that looked like it had been sculpted, with eyebrows that were straight and his nose bridge high. There was a deep look in his eyes and he exuded the aura of someone who had a high status.

    Even Xia Wanyuan, who had once been the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, could not help but marvel at this imposing man.

    ording to her memory, the person in front of her should be the current head of the Jun family, Jun Shiling, whom she had brazenly drugged when she was 18 years old. The same man she had threatened and forced to marry her after she got pregnant.

 Chapter 5

    <h4>Chapter 5: Negotiation</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    The Xia family was considered a wealthy family in China. However,pared to the Jun family, which had umted wealth for generations and had close ties with the military and political world, they were worlds apart.

    Jun Shiling, on the other hand, was the most outstanding person in power in the Jun family in recent years. Young and promising, he was known for being decisive in his actions. Because his parents had passed away in a car ident when he was young, he had been living with his grandfather, who was the previous head of the Jun family.

    Four years ago, the Old Master had stepped down and handed over the huge Jun family to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling had lived up to expectations and sessfully brought the Jun family to its most prominent period. Although the Jun family had always kept a low profile, no one dared to offend the Jun family, especially families with power and wealth.

    Logically speaking, it was impossible for a youngdy like Xia Wanyuan to be associated with arge family like the Jun family. It all started four years ago when the Old Master handed over his authority to Jun Shiling in arge banquet where he had invited all wealthy families.

    Xia Wanyuan had heard of the power and influence of the Jun family. She, who had always been arrogant, had noticed Jun Shiling¡¯s talent and status. Thus, she had the idea of using Jun Shiling to be the young madam of the Jun family. Thus, she spent arge sum of money to bribe the hotel staff to ask about where Jun Shiling stayed.

    She then sessfully drugged him and found her way to his room, where they spent the night together. How could a man like Jun Shiling allow himself to be set up by someone else? In a fit of anger, he caused Xia family¡¯s business to copse once.

    Perhaps it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s luck. After that night, Xia Wanyuan actually got pregnant with Jun Shiling¡¯s child. She secretly carried the child until it was three months old, then mustered up the courage to look for the Old Master.

    By that time, the Old Master was nearing the end of his lifespan. To the elderly, wealth was no longer important. Being able to see the continuation of his bloodline was his greatest hope. He immediately sent people to investigate what had happened. Although he was extremely disgusted by the fact that his grandson had been set up, Xia Wanyuan was indeed pregnant with Jun Shiling¡¯s child.

    At that time, Priest Zhang, whom Old Master Jun highly respected, visited the Jun family as a guest. After seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, he immediately told the Old Master that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were fated to be together.

    When the Old Master heard this, even though he didn¡¯t like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s method of doing things, he forced Jun Shiling to marry her to give a proper status to the child of the Jun family.

    Xia Wanyuan had wanted to use this child to be the madam of the Jun family, but she didn¡¯t expect Jun Shiling to have no intention of disclosing her identity even after she had given birth. Other than a few people, no one else knew who the madam of the Jun family was.

    Xia Wanyuan had also been informed by Jun Shiling that if she dared to publicize her rtionship with the Jun family, she would bear the consequences herself.

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan wanted to test Jun Shiling¡¯s bottom line. However, after witnessing Jun Shiling¡¯s ruthless methods, even someone as ostentatious as her didn¡¯t dare to publicize her rtionship with the Jun family. No matter how arrogant she was, she was still afraid of death.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Nanny Li and the rest greeted him carefully. They were very afraid of Jun Shiling, just like the others around him.

    After a nce towards Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan retracted her eyes once more. She then helped herself to a piece of pork rib calmly and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling fearfully. His big eyes darted around as he leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan.

    Sensing Xiao Bao¡¯s emotions, Xia Wanyuan looked at Nanny Li. ¡°Nanny Li, bring Young Master a set of cutlery.¡±

    Even though her instincts screamed for her not to get involved with a man like Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao was still a child. Even if Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling hated each other to the core, she could not show it in front of the child. A parent¡¯s quarrel would cause irreversible harm to a child.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Nanny Li hesitantly nced at Jun Shiling, but his face was still expressionless. His pair of ancient, deep eyes stared straight at Xia Wanyuan as if wanting to pierce through her soul.

    Seeing that the young master did not reply and that Xia Wanyuan had resumed eating, Nanny Li hesitated for a moment before going to the kitchen to bring out another set of cutlery.

    Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan, then at Jun Shiling, who was standing at the door, exuding a cold aura. His big eyes darted around, then he slipped out of his chair and ran over to Jun Shiling.

    He stretched out his little hand and shook Jun Shiling¡¯s warm one. ¡°Daddy, let¡¯s eat together.¡±

    The pair of grape-like eyes that grew on his handsome and chubby face was shining as he looked at Jun Shiling pleadingly.

    Jun Shiling never liked getting close to people, and it was no surprise that he was very strict with this child, perhaps even more so. Normally, Xiao Bao would not dare to get close to him, but if his mother wanted to eat with his father, he had to drag his father over.

    Last night, this was how he acted when he wanted his mother to sing and coax him to sleep, and his mother agreed right away! Would this method work on his father?

    Jun Shiling looked at the little dumpling who was only as tall as his knees. His face looked exactly like his, and his child¡¯s soft and tiny hand was in his palm. Almost unconsciously, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he held onto Xiao Bao¡¯s hand.

    He never knew how to interact with children, but Xiao Bao was his own child after all. He nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was eating calmly and his eyes turned cold. If this woman wanted to use his child to achieve her goals, then he would definitely let her know the price she had to pay.

    Xiao Bao saw his father nce at the dining table and thought that Jun Shiling had agreed. His round eyes shed with joy. It really worked!

    He happily pulled Jun Shiling to his seat. ¡°Daddy, eat.¡±

    Xiao Bao smiled innocently. It was amazing! He was having dinner together with his parents!

    The entire time, Xia Wanyuan simply ate her food while asionally putting food in Xiao Bao¡¯s bowl. Silence fell upon the scene.

    ¡°Mommy, eat this.¡± Xiao Bao imitated Xia Wanyuan and served her a piece of pork rib. ¡°Daddy, eat this too.¡± He then picked up another piece for Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was stunned when he saw the sweet pork ribs lying in the bowl. Xiao Bao stared at him, expectantly, waiting for his response.

    An indescribable emotion arose in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart, and he felt a rare gentleness as a father. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±

    After receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s affirmative answer, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up, and turned as bright as the lights in the room. Under the flickering light, a small figure sat between the elegant woman and the cold man. They were just like any other thousands of peaceful and warm families in this world.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan asked Nanny Li to bring Xiao Bao to take a shower.

    After Xiao Bao, who had a worried face, had gone into the bathroom, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Let¡¯s talk in the study room.¡± With that said, she walked towards the study room on the second floor.

    Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes. As he looked at the graceful figure which swayed like a lotus flower, a glint shed across his eyes. Without a word, he followed Xia Wanyuan.

    Being alone in a room with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan felt that this person¡¯s aura seemed to materialize as it whistled towards her. She reached out to open the window and a cool breeze blew past, finally bringing some rity.

    ¡°When are we getting a divorce?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and looked up at Jun Shiling.

    The moment she saw Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan knew that the original owner of the body had stirred up a huge mess, to say the least. Such a man reminded her of the King of Jiangdong, her strongest enemy. He was equally aggressive and unfathomable.

    A man like him would never allow others to plot against his marriage, so it was only a matter of time before they got divorced. They might as well settle it now so as not to cause more trouble in the future.

    Jun Shiling, who had always been adept at predicting the possible oues of various proposals, had never expected Xia Wanyuan to say this.

    After all, this woman had always wanted to climb to the position of the madam of the Jun family. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have¡­ Thinking about what had happened four years ago, Jun Shiling frowned.

    ¡°Grandpa¡¯s seventieth birthday is in three months. After that, we¡¯ll get a divorce. You¡¯d better behave yourself during this period of time. You can have the property here, a duplex apartment in the city, as well as a hundred million dors as the alimony.¡±

    After calcting in her mind how many things she could buy with a hundred million dors, Xia Wanyuan felt much better and found Jun Shiling much more pleasing to the eye.

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she readily epted.

    How strange. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s agreement had gone too smoothly. Even Jun Shiling was somewhat taken aback. He had never really looked at this disgusting person who had always appeared with heavy makeup on.

    It was the first time he looked at Xia Wanyuan seriously.

    This evening, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a long, light green dress, and looked like she was made of ice and jade. The smile in her eyes didn¡¯t fade but flickered under the light as if it could pierce into people¡¯s hearts.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, she graciously allowed him to size her up. She lifted her chin slightly. Although he was standing and she was sitting, it made him feel as if their auras were equal, and they were equally matched.

    From the moment he entered and saw the calm andposed Xia Wanyuan, he had been somewhat surprised. Now that he saw her appearance and her indifferent attitude, he frowned slightly.

    The current Xia Wanyuan seemed to have been washed clean of lead. Her entire person exuded spiritual essence from the inside out and calmness that could not be broken even with the weight of Mount Tai over her shoulders.

    For the first time, he felt that he could not see through this person.

    However, regardless of whether Xia Wanyuan was putting on an act or not, he would not let her harm the interest of the Jun Corporation.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare try to harm Jun Yin. If you do, not only will you not be able to get the property, you won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences.¡±

    Realizing that his gaze had lingered on Xia Wanyuan for too long, Jun Shiling retracted his gaze and gave Xia Wanyuan a warning look before he opened the door and strode away.

    Xia Wanyuan was indifferent at Jun Shiling¡¯s antipathy. She had no interest in being Madam Jun, which was a position that appeared to be morous but was also in fact much more than that.

    Having been in the political quagmire for a long time in her previous life, she knew very well that the higher one stood, the greater the responsibility. Now that she had finally left that treacherous center of power, all she wanted to do was to experience her current life.

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Upon seeing Jun Shiling walk out of the study with an unhappy expression, the servants did not even dare to breathe loudly. Instead, they carefully observed his expression.

    Xiao Bao, also known as Jun Yin, wore the teddy bear pajamas that Xia Wanyuan had prepared for him. He wriggled his way to Jun Shiling¡¯s side.

    Looking at the soft and shrunken version of himself that had been steamed by the hot steam of the bathroom, the cold air around Jun Shiling finally dissipated a little.

    ¡°Put on your clothes and go back with Daddy.¡±

    The little dumpling shrank back and furrowed his tender little face when he heard Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Daddy, I want to stay with Mommy¡­ Can I?¡±

    There was a pleading look in his round eyes. Jun Shiling initially wanted to take him away by force, but he saw his soft gaze¡­

    He was suddenly reminded of the fact that his parents had passed away when he was young. Although the Old Master had brought him up, he stillcked the warmth of his parents. The life he had grown up in was lonely and cold. Was it right for those cruel feelings to be imposed on this child?

    So Jun Shiling pursed his lips andpromised. ¡°Sleep early and wake up early. Don¡¯t mess around. I¡¯ll pick you up this weekend. We¡¯ll be going to Great-Grandpa¡¯s house.¡±

    ¡°Alright, daddy!¡± Having finally obtained Jun Shiling¡¯s approval, the little dumpling jumped up and down in joy. He excitedly ran up to the second floor to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the child hopping around in his teddy bear pajamas, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze turned warm, but it was soon covered by ayer of ice.

    No matter what, Xia Wanyuan was Jun Yin¡¯s biological mother. It was normal for the child to get close to her. If she behaved herself and did not cause trouble, he could consider giving her an additional severance fee for the divorce.

    Jun Shiling looked around the house. The lighting was warm and he could see Xiao Bao¡¯s school bag that had the shape of a white shark on the sofa. On the table was a half-flipped book, ¡°Whistling Manor¡±, and a small te of strawberries. The water droplets on the strawberries had made them glisten under the light.

    Although it was a little messy, this room actually gave him a faint feeling of warmth. Jun Shiling shook off the thoughts in his mind and turned to walk out of the door. A surging darkness instantly swallowed him into the night.

    When the car finally left the vi, the voice of Xia Wanyuan telling stories could already be heard from the bedroom on the second floor.

    The night used tranquility to protect the warm people, but it also used darkness to cover up countless ill intentions.

    ¡­

    ¡°Sister Ruan, Xia Wanyuan has finally been pulled down. With her acting skills, how could she have the ability to act as the female lead? Now that the Xia family is bankrupt, let¡¯s see how arrogant she can remain.¡±

    In a high-ss apartment in the city center, Ruan Yingyu, who had changed roles with Xia Wanyuan, was on the phone with her manager.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan had taken advantage of her family¡¯s wealth and acted arrogantly. Furthermore, because she had invested arge sum of money into this production team, she had bulldozed the production team into giving her the role of the female lead.

    Ruan Yingyu and Xia Wanyuan had debuted in the same year. Although her acting was better than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s, she had been suppressed by Xia Wanyuan all this time. A lot of anger had umted in her heart.

    There was divine justice after all. Now that the Xia family had finally gone bankrupt, Ruan Yingyu took the chance to switch roles with Xia Wanyuan with the help of herpany.

    ¡°Ha, I¡¯ll make her pay for suppressing my roles so much in the past. I¡¯m going to make thisst drama of hers unforgettable.¡±

    Her pretty face contorted in rage as she recalled those memories from the past. After ending the call, she opened her Weibo and reposted thetest Weibo post from the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. Once she finished typing a line of words and then switched off her phone. Her red lips curved up. She no longer cared about what was happening on the Inte.

    However, there was already a smallmotion on the Inte.

    Nowadays, films and television series adapted from online novels are popr in the film industry. ¡°The Long Bad¡± was one of them.

    It was a very traditional story of an ordinary man who obtained martial arts secret manuals and cultivated and then turned into a powerful man with a strong sense of justice. And while he tried to help the world, he fell into the thing called love.

    Because the author wrote the story well and the details were thoroughly immersive, the novel had gathered many fans.

    It wasmon for boycotting by fans to happen when a novel was adapted into a film. But the boycott situation for this book was exceptionally serious. There was no other reason other than the female lead, Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was very popr when she first debuted, and she had even attracted arge number of fans. After all, her face was indeed very good-looking.

    Even in the entertainment industry where many stars were gathered, Xia Wanyuan was also one of the top existences. In addition, from time to time, she would sell her image of a princess-like rich second-generation heir. The number of fans increased, and it seemed like she was on the verge of bing a popr starlet.

    Unfortunately, the good times did notst long. Thepany¡¯s constant concealment of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrogant and despotic nature was eventually exposed. This so-called starlet snatched endorsements, disrespected her peers, and spouted nonsense in interviews.

    Reputation would take a very long time to build, but the destruction would only require a small opening. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation was no longer a small opening, but a total breakdown.

    As a result, all of her fans turned into haters. However, because Xia Wanyuan had her own capital, even though she no longer had fans, she continued to throw money at the production team to buy herself resources.

    Although she had the resources, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions had incurred public wrath in the entertainment industry. As long as she participated in a production, that production would gain tremendous hate.

    The female lead that Xia Wanyuan had originally taken a fancy to in ¡°The Long Bad¡± was a naive and sweet type who was gentle, considerate, and would be very popr with both the male lead and fans.

    Associating the character to Xia Wanyuan, who had a vicious heart in real life, fans of the novel had almost overturned the production team¡¯s Weibo. Xia Wanyuan acting as an innocent young girl???? The director¡¯s eyes must have been blurred by sh*t!

    On the other hand, the official Weibo ount of the production team, which had been criticized by fans for a long time, had been feigning ignorance for a long time. When it finally posted again after many days, crowds of people instantly gathered.

    ¡°The production team of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ has always received everyone¡¯s attention. Due to the mobilization of internal staff within the production team, the relevant details will be updated as follows: The female lead, Tian Ying Er, will be changed to Ruan Yingyu, and the second female lead, Shen Pei, will be yed by Xia Wanyuan. Thank you for everyone¡¯s attention. We will announce the follow-up to everyone on Weibo.¡±

    When the news of Xia Wanyuan bringing funds into the production team so that she could act as the female lead, Tian Ying Er, was exposed, she was cursed like a dog. Now, seeing that the female lead had finally changed to Ruan Yingyu, who had gained support to y the role, everyone began to cheer.

    Carrot Loves To Eat Rabbits: ¡°Oh my god, has the production team finallye to their senses? A snake-like woman like Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t fit to act as my innocent and cute Ying Er!¡±

    Aiyu: ¡°Wow! Looking at how pure and cute Ruan Yingyu looks, she¡¯s perfect for the role. I¡¯m certain she¡¯ll bring a very good interpretation of Ying Er. I¡¯m looking forward to it!¡±

    User 18767678: ¡°Looks like the Xia family is done for! Serves them right! What kind of family can raise such an idiotic woman? Congrattions, the entertainment industry has finally lost a malignant tumor.¡±

    As soon as thement was posted, everyone instantly recalled the news of the Xia family¡¯s bankruptcy a few days ago. They all agreed that the entertainment industry would no longer be gued by Xia Wanyuan.

    A Preserved Chicken: ¡°Can I say this though? Although she¡¯s no longer acting as the female lead, she¡¯s changed to acting as my noble and beautiful Heavenly Spirit Princess! I¡¯m crying!¡±

    It turned out that in the novel ¡°The Long Bad¡±, there were two important female characters. The female protagonist was kind, understanding, and gentle, which won her a lot of fans.

    On the other hand, the other admirer of the male lead, the Heavenly Spirit Princess, had a noble status and was extremely beautiful. She loved the male lead but could not get him. The contrast between her domineering personality and her soft heart made her an extremely attractive character as well, so she also had arge group of fans.

    Thisment immediately reminded everyone! Although Xia Wanyuan had let go of the role of the female lead, she had extended her ws to the second female lead!

    In an instant, a group of people began to insult Xia Wanyuan, one after another expressing their desire to tarnish her reputation for the rest of her life. Various personal attacks flooded Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    When they clicked on her Weibo profile, they saw that hertest Weibo post was still her showing off hertest global limited edition bag. This only served to arouse people¡¯s hatred for the rich, and the scolding became even more intense.

    Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan waspletely unaware of the turbulence on the Inte, but even if she saw it, she wouldn¡¯t think much of it. After all, these people were only venting. Compared to the real mountain of bones of the dead that she had seen on the battlefield, this was nothing to her.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan brought the little dumpling out for breakfast before taking him to school. As she watched him get into the school bus, she felt slightly reluctant to part with him.

    Last night, she had agreed to divorce Jun Shiling in three months. The Jun family would definitely not give her custody of the child. However, modern society was still much more civilized than before.

    In the past, after a woman was divorced, she would never have the chance to see her child again. Now, it seemed things had changed. Even if they divorced, she was still the child¡¯s mother. That was why she had agreed so quickly.

    She took out her phone and saw the messages from Bright Red 99+. She had not been out for the past two days and her friends had sent her a lot of messages.

    Xia Wanyuan had a slight obsessivepulsive disorder. She walked to the swing in the courtyard, sat down, and began to open and delete the useless messages one by one.

    <i>¡®Great. All the messages are deleted.¡¯</i>

    Xia Wanyuan searched for ¡®Lin¡¯ in the search bar at the top. As expected, the face of an elite who was dressed in professional attire appeared.

    Xia Wanyuan had a special status, so it was unavoidable that she needed to contact the Jun family. However, Jun Shiling had no interest in dealing with her, so Lin Jing was mainly responsible for contacting Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened up the chat and typed something. As she was still unfamiliar with using a phone, her typing speed was somewhat slow.

    Special Assistant Lin had just finished a meeting and was about to sort out the meeting records and hand them over to Jun Shiling, when his private WeChat notification rang.

    Lin Jing picked up his phone. The message on his phone stopped him from sorting the documents.

    ¡°Can I move into the apartment that was prepared for me in the city center? Help me arrange it, thank you.¡±

    The words ¡®Xia Wanyuan¡¯ were disyed above the message.

    Lin Jing adjusted his sses and was stunned when he saw the words ¡®thank you¡¯. Then, he smiled mysteriously. Closing the document, Lin Jing proceeded to walk towards the CEO¡¯s office.

    After rejecting a few calls from her friends asking her to go out and y, Xia Wanyuan called the chauffeur.

    Thest time she went through the wardrobe, she realized that the original owner of the body¡¯s clothing style was too mboyant. There was barely anything in there she found suitable to wear. Since she hadn¡¯t entered the drama production team yet, she wanted to go out and shop.

    In the original owner¡¯s memory, clothing stores that had all kinds of dazzling exquisitely designed clothes were everywhere in this era. Perhaps because the peaceful life here had allowed her to rx, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s natural love for beauty as a woman had been aroused.

    Since the original owner of the body seemed to be a celebrity with a little fame, infamous to be exact, Xia Wanyuan had Nanny Li bring a mask and a cap to disguise her somewhat. She then got the chauffeur to send her to Tianfu Road.

    As expected of a famous shopping district in China. It took some time but Xia Wanyuan finally found a less-crowded street and took her time strolling around. What she didn¡¯t know was that theck of people here was due to the high prices of the clothes here. The bright and colorful clothes in the disy windows piqued her interest.

    Xia Wanyuan went into a more elegant-looking shop. Although she was wearing a mask and her face was covered, the shop assistant knew that big business was here when she saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s branded clothes and elegant posture. She hurriedly went up to greet her with a smile.

    Branded stores had fewer customers, so basically all the shop assistants had crowded around Xia Wanyuan, eagerly rmending various outfits to her.

    Xia Wanyuan did not decline and tried on all the clothes that she found herself drawn to. With her svelte and womanly figure, she looked good in whichever outfit was brought out. If anything, the originally beautiful clothes looked even more exquisite on her.

    ¡°Wrap all these up.¡± By the time she had tried on all the clothing, two hours had passed. Xia Wanyuan took out a card she hadn¡¯t used in a long time to pay the bill.

    It would be a waste not to use it, Xia Wanyuan thought. Anyway, that was the card that Jun Shiling had given her.

    The moment the card was swiped in the clothing store, Jun Shiling received a text message on his cell phone. ¡°The bank card with the ount numberst digits being *** had been charged 320 thousand dors on Tianfu Road.¡±

    The card was the allowance card that Jun Shiling had given Xia Wanyuan back then. However, as the monthly allowance was not much, Xia Wanyuan had never used this card since she was rich. However, after several years of umtion, the card already had a few million dors in it.

    ¡®Is the Xia family that poor now? However, that woman, as always, likes to spend money. It seems like she is just putting on an act these few days.¡¯

    But for some reason, the image of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright and clear eyes appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s mind, making his heart turn cold.

    Frowning slightly, Jun Shiling turned off his phone, clearing his thoughts. That woman had nothing to do with him.

    ¡­

    After a long morning, Xia Wanyuan was a little hungry as well. When she came out of the clothing store, she took out her phone and navigated for a while before turning to the street filled with restaurants nearby.

    It was time for lunch. All kinds of restaurant signs proimed their goods in the streets, and the fragrance of all kinds of delicacies lingered in one¡¯s nostrils, whetting one¡¯s appetite.

    Xia Wanyuan walked slowly. Because she was tightly covered, very few people could recognize her. However, the lotus-like swaying temperament of hers that showed as she walked still caused people to constantly turn their heads, wanting to see what kind of heavenly beauty was beneath that mask.

    There were several people at the entrance of one of the shops and it was rather lively. A rich fragrance wafted out from the shop, causing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appetite to increase greatly.

    She strode into the restaurant, and the signboard at the entrance said ¡°Braised Chicken Rice¡±. It was none other than the famous chain in China that sold braised chicken rice.

    Because it was located in the capital city, although it was amon snack brand, the restaurant was clean and tidy. Two floors were filled with solid wood tables and chairs. Business was good, and the fragrance of food lingered in the restaurant.

    Xia Wanyuan ordered the shop¡¯s signature meal like what other customers had ordered. She found a seat on the second floor near the window and waited for the staff to bring the food over before she slowly removed her mask.

    At the same time, in Jun Corporation¡¯s office, Jun Shiling was momentarily at a loss when he saw the text message that said she was spending her time in the braised chicken rice restaurant. Was this the Xia Wanyuan who wanted nothing more than a full, formal banquet to show off her status?

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not know about those things. She looked at the braised chicken that was served in a y pot.

    The chicken meat was fresh and tender, and it was wrapped in thick gravy and mixed with a few mushrooms and green peppers. The dish gave off waves of hot steam, making one¡¯s appetite increase the more they looked.

    Xia Wanyuan had eaten delicacies before, but she had also eaten leftover steamed buns. Now that she was at the popr food market in the modern world, her appetite was stirring.

    Picking up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, she ced it into her mouth, followed by a mouthful of rice. The rich broth spread in her mouth, and thebination of rice and meat produced an iparable taste. Xia Wanyuan ate happily with a satisfied smile on her face.

    She did not notice that there was a youngdy looking at her curiously from four tables away.

    ¡°Hey, look, isn¡¯t that a celebrity?¡± The round-faced girl poked her friend.

    Herpanion curiously looked in the direction where she pointed and was immediately stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Xia Wanyuan?! Why is she here?!¡±

    They could not be med for being shocked. After all, every time Xia Wanyuan appeared, the topic of conversation was either luxurious mansions or luxurious jewelry. Who would have thought that they would see her in such a down-to-earth ce?

    ¡°Are you sure?¡± The round-faced girl was a little suspicious.

    ¡°I¡¯m one hundred percent sure! After all, I was her fan for some time before I turned into a hater.¡±

    Besides, there was something she did not say. The person whom they saw looked like that. Who else could it be other than Xia Wanyuan? If anyone on the road was so good-looking, it would be too much of a blow.

    ¡°I heard that the Xia family went bankrupt. Is she out of money? Is that why she can only eat this?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. This has nothing to do with us. Look how much she¡¯s enjoying it. Why isn¡¯t our food here yet?¡±

    They had once followed the crowd and scolded Xia Wanyuan on the inte, so they naturally did not have a good impression of her. But strangely, as they watched Xia Wanyuan eat, they actually developed a good impression of her.

    ¡®She looks so beautiful, and you can tell she¡¯s really enjoying the food!¡¯

    Sensing that someone was looking at her, Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks and looked ahead. She saw two youngdies looking at her curiously.

    Seeing that there was no malice in their eyes, Xia Wanyuan smiled at them, then lowered her head to eat thest few mouthfuls of food before getting up to leave.

    When the twodies saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile, they felt as if thousands of flowers were blooming before their eyes. It was only when Xia Wanyuan stood up and left that they reacted. They quickly took out their phones and took a photo.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back disappear down the stairs, the round-faced girl sucked in a breath of cold air. ¡°Hiss, although I heard that her character isn¡¯t good, she¡¯s really beautiful.¡±

    ¡°I agree.¡± Her friend, who had turned anti-fan, also felt the same way. If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scandals being too eye-catching, she would have wanted to be a fan again after that smile. ¡®Who doesn¡¯t like beautiful youngdies!¡¯

    ¡°By the way, why isn¡¯t our food here yet? I¡¯m starving.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan had eaten her fill, she ran to the snack shop to buy some snacks that she often saw young people eat when she was surfing the inte. After buying some, she took the car back to the vi that was located halfway up the mountain.

    As a result, President Jun¡¯s private phone, which rarely rang, received a few messages in the afternoon. The milk tea cost 20 dors, the egg waffles cost five dors, and the sausages cost five dors.

    The more Jun Shiling looked at it, the more confused he became. What nonsense was this? Based on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s habits, there was no way that she would put these things anywhere near her mouth. On the other hand, children liked to eat junk food. Could it be that she had bought them for Jun Yin? Thinking of this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

    Jun Shiling settled the matters in the afternoon promptly and called Lin Jing to cancel the meeting that was originally scheduled for that night. He then picked up his coat and called the chauffeur over, asking him to drive to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ce.

    The chauffeur had received this order for the second time within two days, and the shock made him pause. Young Master had always hated Miss Xia. What was wrong with him? Why was he going there every day?

    Despite imagining countless scenarios in his mind, he masked them inside and remained expressionless. The chauffeur started the car and drove steadily towards the suburbs.

    With a pile of snacks, she returned to the vi. The moment Nanny Li saw the things in her hand, her expression twisted once again. It was uneptable that Xia Wanyuan was carrying all of this junk food.

    Xia Wanyuan had eaten her fill in the afternoon, so she ced the snacks on the table and went upstairs to take a shower and a nap.

    The vi was located in the suburbs of Beijing far from the city. It would take one to two hours to get there.

    By the time Jun Shiling arrived, Xia Wanyuan had already woken up from her afternoon nap. She asked Nanny Li to heat the snacks she had brought back. Having the milk tea that she had iced in the fridge, Xia Wanyuan felt that modern life was truly not bad.

    Except for the uninvited guest at the door, of course.

    The man was still wearing that well-tailored custom-made suit, which entuated his cold temperament. There seemed to be thousands of troops hidden under his deep eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan took one nce at Jun Shiling and then retracted her gaze. She couldn¡¯t be bothered with what Jun Shiling was doing here. In any case, they had already discussed what they needed to discuss. Strictly speaking, this house belonged to Jun Shiling. If he wanted toe, he coulde.

    She was in a good mood as she sat on the swing that was surrounded by vines. She took a sip of the milk tea that seemed to be very popr. It was sweet and had chewy bobas in it.

    The sweet explosion of vor did not suit her taste, but this was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time trying it. The novel experience made her drink a few more mouthfuls.

    He had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan had bought the snacks for the child, but instead, she was sitting here eating them on her own, and behaved like she was eating something new.

    It took a long time to get there from the city. Facing the unexpected scene, Jun Shiling stood at the door, not knowing if he should go back the way he came.

    Initially, he was worried that Xia Wanyuan would feed Jun Yin junk food. Now that the food had entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach, he was speechless.

    In the afternoon of the spring season, the sun was warm, and Xia Wanyuan was swinging amid the flower bushes. She raised her eyebrows slightly. Because she had eaten something she liked, the expression in her eyes was even more moving than the warmth of the sunshine that filled the entire garden.

    Xia Wanyuan drank a few mouthfuls of milk tea and tasted the snacks one by one. She picked out the egg waffle that she liked the most and pushed the rest to the side. The little dumpling had probably never eaten these things before. She wanted to save them for him to try.

    Jun Shiling had already been standing at the door for nearly ten minutes. To the Chief of the Jun family, whose every second was worth tens of thousands of dors, this seemed more than a little strange.

    It was no secret that Jun Shiling was able to quickly take over the Jun family and suppress the other members of the Jun family who were ready to make trouble. He promoted many young men who were originally buried in therge family and knew how to use them well, which gained him a lot of support.

    It was enough to prove that he was an extremely rational and capable person, especially when it came to controlling others.

    But this was the third time he had seen Xia Wanyuan in four years. He had not appeared even when they were registering their marriage.

    In his original impression, Xia Wanyuan was crude and unbridled. All she had was a beautiful appearance.

    However, the Xia Wanyuan he had met twice in the past two days was neither servile nor overbearing. She was quiet and peaceful, exuding an indifferent aura from head to toe, and was just as delicate and moving as a lotus after the rain.

    From what he could see, he didn¡¯t think that Xia Wanyuan was faking it. While her actions could be faked, the aura she exuded could not be faked. Furthermore, he had heard rumors about Xia Wanyuan. If her acting skills were good enough to fool him, she would have gotten the best actress award long ago.

    ¡®Is this not her? Did those old farts get a recement from somewhere?¡¯ However, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wless face, Jun Shiling restrained his thoughts.

    ¡°Does Young Master Jun want toe in?¡± Xia Wanyuan was puzzled upon seeing Jun Shiling standing there in silence.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been good at judging people. To be fair, she felt that Jun Shiling was an extremely outstanding person among the people she had met. If not for the fact that the original owner of the body had too many questionable connections with him, she would be willing to take the initiative to get to know such a talent.

    Unfortunately, it was better not to. She still wanted to y in the modern world quietly for a while.

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips. ¡°Go back and get Lin Jing to send the documents here.¡± Finally, he strode into the courtyard. Many mysteries were surrounding Xia Wanyuan, and he couldn¡¯t help but want to understand more.

    Walking over to the rattan chair by the swing, he sat down in silence. All the while, Jun Shiling¡¯s sharp gaze was still fixed on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Young Master Jun, can I move to that duplex apartment in the city?¡± The environment at the vi was good, but it was too far from the city.

    It was far from her little dumpling¡¯s kindergarten as well. She had just arrived in the modern world, and the only person she was close to was that child. She wanted to spend more time with him, but staying in the vi made it inconvenient to do so. It was what she had raised with Lin Jing earlier in the morning.

    ¡°Lin Jing has already made arrangements.¡±

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. She did not have any prejudice or fear towards Jun Shiling, and she treated him just like how she would treat other people.

    In this courtyard filled with flowers, Xia Wanyuan carried a mystical and indifferent temperament.

    To think that Jun Shiling, who normally would not waste any time at all, was actually killing time in the courtyard.

    There had never been so many forms of entertainment in the Great Xia Dynasty. As a result, Xia Wanyuan could spend the whole day reading quietly. She got someone to bring over the Shakespeare Collection that she found in the study that morning.

    The advancement of mankind was not only the advancement of technology but also the development of literature and art. Since she had chosen to take over the acting career of the owner of the body, she had developed an interest in such works.

    When he saw the book in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turned darker. No one could tell what he was thinking.

    When Lin Jing rushed over with the pile of documents, he saw Jun Shiling, who had always only traveled between the office and the meeting room, actually apanying Xia Wanyuan in the courtyard.

    The handsome Jun Shiling was deep and cold, while the magnificent Xia Wanyuan was rxed. Under the sunlight, the two of them seemed especially harmonious.

    It shocked the swift and decisive special assistant so much that he tripped when he got out of the car.

    Adjusting his sses, he tidied up the documents in his hands and resumed his meticulous image as a special assistant.

    ¡°Young Master, all the documents for today are here.¡±

    Other than taking a nce at Lin Jing when he came over, Xia Wanyuan did not pay attention to what Lin Jing was doing at all.

    ¡°Mm, leave it here. Go back to the office first. You¡¯ll be in charge of the meetingter.¡± Jun Shiling took the document and nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was still engrossed in her book.

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    The young master had always hated Miss Xia.?<i>¡®What has happened in the past two days?¡¯</i>?He nced at the elegant and outstanding Xia Wanyuan, who had an unmistakable aura.

    Indeed, rumors couldn¡¯t be trusted. Lin Jing sighed in his heart. Miss Xia was really different from the rumors.

    There was going to be a good show to watch. Lin Jing nced at Jun Shiling without batting an eyelid, then nced at Xia Wanyuan. The corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled like a fox before quickly leaving the vi.

    Unlike what Lin Jing had imagined, Xia Wanyuan was toozy to speak while reading, and Jun Shiling would never take the initiative to start a conversation with someone.

    So the two of them spent an afternoon in the courtyard with a strange type of calmness.

    Until the car that brought Jun Yin back appeared at the entrance.

    The little dumpling had obtained first ce in the kindergarten¡¯s Mathematics paper, and the prize was a few candies from the kindergarten¡¯s teacher. Children would always give their favorite things to the person they like.

    Once the little dumpling received his reward and got into the car, he immediately thought of going home to tell Xia Wanyuan about the good news, before sharing the candy with her.

    As soon as the car came to a stop, the little dumpling opened the door immediately and ran out of the car. However, when he saw Jun Shiling sitting in the courtyard, his face was immediately scrunched up into a grimace.

    Upon hearing themotion, Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw the frowning Xiao Bao. It was clear that he was afraid of Jun Shiling.

    She was tickled by how pitiful Xiao Bao looked. She waved at the little dumpling, ¡°Xiao Bao, you¡¯re back.¡±

    Xiao Bao hesitated between approaching Jun Shiling, but he thought of his Mommy¡¯s warm embrace. Then, he made up his mind and ran towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shed with displeasure when he saw how anxious the little dumpling was, and he was just about to say something.

    By then, the little dumpling had already leaped into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embrace. His eyes were filled with a deep attachment to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan gently embraced Xiao Bao, and both of their faces, which had a little resemnce, wore a warm smile.

    For some reason, Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t bring himself to me him anymore.

    ¡°Mommy, look. I won first ce in arithmetic in kindergarten today. The teacher rewarded me with this.¡± As Xiao Bao spoke, he took out a few milk candies from his school bag and handed them to Xia Wanyuan. The hopeful look in his big eyes practically screamed, ¡®Praise me.¡¯

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± She put a milk candy in her mouth and fed one to Xiao Bao. The sweet and fragrant taste instantly filled her mouth.

    Feeling undeniably satisfied, Xiao Bao snuggled into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms. There was still a candy left in his hand, and he looked carefully at Jun Shiling.

    Perhaps because his mother¡¯s presence gave him a sense of security, Xiao Bao slowly ventured up to Jun Shiling and said cutely, ¡°Daddy, this is for you.¡±

    Seeing his biological son who had always been afraid of being close to him speak to him so softly, Jun Shiling felt a rare sense of helplessness.

    Upon seeing that Jun Shiling stayed silent, Xiao Bao, who had mustered his courage to go over, hung his head in disappointment and was about to retract his hand.

    The milk candy in his hand was gone. Xiao Bao looked up in surprise and saw Jun Shiling holding the milk candy awkwardly. Somehow, the milk candy with the golden monkey printed on it did not match the cold and imposing Jun Shiling at all.

    Xia Wanyuan burst outughing. Although Jun Shiling looked cold and aloof, he actually wanted to treat Xiao Bao well. It was just that he did not know how tomunicate with children.

    <h4>Chapter 10: Anger</h4>

    Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan an unreadable gaze that was as deep as an ancient well. Seeing it was almost time for dinner, Xia Wanyuan ignored the warning and brought Xiao Bao into the house.

    Nanny Li looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and wondered how Miss Xia had angered Young Master again.

    Ever since Jun Shiling was born, he had been very confident in everything he did. Almost no one had escaped his control. But just today alone, he had experienced it twice.

    The first time came from the milk candy that his son, who was rarely close to him, gave him. The second time came from this woman whom he could not see through.

    Xia Wanyuan and the little master were already seated at the dining table while Jun Shiling was still sitting on the rattan chair in the courtyard. For some reason, Nanny Li could see a hint of loneliness in Jun Shiling¡¯s imposing figure.

    Nanny Li mustered her courage and walked over. ¡°Young Master, dinner is ready. Please go and eat.¡±

    But Jun Shiling didn¡¯t move at all. His well-defined side profile exuded a coldness that made people¡¯s hearts tremble. Nanny Li didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore and carefully retreated to a corner.

    Xia Wanyuan witnessed what happened while she was inside the house. She was reminded that no matter what, Jun Shiling was Xiao Bao¡¯s biological father, while she had only arrived in this era a few days ago.

    In her previous life, she had already tried her best to teach the Xia Emperor, but she could only rece her mother¡¯s role. The loss of a father¡¯s position would be an irreversible tragedy for children, especially boys.

    She grabbed the hand of the little bad guy who wanted to secretly steal a chicken wing when she wasn¡¯t paying attention. ¡°Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were full of smiles when his hand was grabbed.

    ¡°Go and tell your father toe in for dinner.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Mommy.¡±

    Xiao Bao had never dared to say it, but in his heart, not only did he want his mother, but he also wanted to get close to his father. Whenever he saw that his ssmates¡¯ parents came together to pick them up in kindergarten, he felt extremely envious.

    In the past, he used to look at other people¡¯s families eagerly. But now, he could be together with his parents too! Xiao Bao was ted.

    Slipping down from the chair, he ran to Jun Shiling with his short legs, reaching out to grab his sleeve.

    ¡°Daddy, Mommy called you in for dinner.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling did not react, Xiao Bao boldly hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s thigh. ¡°Daddy, Mommy will be very happy if you eat with us.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who had invited Jun Shiling over for Xiao Bao¡¯s sake, had been sold off without her even knowing.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. Was he wrong? Was that woman acting so abnormally to attract his attention?

    Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan did not know what Jun Shiling was thinking at that moment. Otherwise, she would definitelyugh and say that his imagination was too strong.

    After a moment of silence, Jun Shiling stood up and followed him inside. As Xiao Bao walked into the house, he tugged on Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve, pulling him along.

    Nanny Li, who was sitting in the corner, cursed in her heart. ¡®Young Master wanted to go in to eat, right? Otherwise, with Little Master¡¯s little strength, how could he possibly move Young Master?¡¯

    The cutlery in the room was already set up. Xia Wanyuan looked towards the father and son who looked so simr to each other, but what she received was Jun Shiling¡¯s warning gaze.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless. It was just a meal. Weren¡¯t modern people very open-minded? Why did it seem like an ancient rule that men and women should not be intimate?

    But she did not show it on her face. She told Xiao Bao to sit properly and simply ignored Jun Shiling.

    The person whom he thought would tend to him eagerly had ignored him. The mother and son ate happily and left him alone, making him look awkward.

    For some reason, Jun Shiling felt suffocated. He sat down at the table with a dark face and ate his meal in a very low mood.

    Unfortunately, one of the people at the table was chirping and acting coquettishly towards his mother while the other was engrossed in her food as if she was eating delicacies. No one paid any attention to him.

    The more he ate, the more unhappy he became. Finally, after dinner, Jun Shiling put down his chopsticks and walked out the door, leaving behind the dumbfounded Xiao Bao and the smiling Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mommy, why did Daddy leave?¡±

    No matter how smart Jun Yin was, he was still a child. In the past, he had grown up by the nanny¡¯s side and knew that his parents¡¯ rtionship wasn¡¯t good. He had thought that his parents had reconciled after seeing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan having meals and even waiting for him to finish school together these two days.

    But now, it was obvious that Jun Shiling was angry. He was afraid that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling would return to their former state.

    Sensing the worry in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan pulled him into her arms.

    ¡°Baby, no matter what Daddy and Mummy¡¯s rtionship is like, it won¡¯t affect Mommy¡¯s love for you.¡± She paused. ¡°And Daddy¡¯s too. Don¡¯t worry, okay?¡±

    Then, she leaned over and kissed Xiao Bao¡¯s forehead. ¡°Mommy will be with you.¡±

    The three-year-old Xiao Bao could not understand marriage, but he was instantly cheered up after Xia Wanyuan said she would always be by his side.

    It was not until he got into the car that Jun Shiling realized that he had acted a little abnormally today. Pressing his fingers against his temple, he assumed he must have been too from the frequent meetings recently.

    The phone ringtone broke the silence in the car suddenly, and he picked up the phone. ¡°Young Master, there are some negativements about Miss Xia online. Do you need thepany¡¯s public rtions team to help deal with them?¡±

    ¡°Lin Jing, don¡¯t try to be smart.¡± Displeasure shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, and he hung up the phone.

    Hearing the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Lin Jing was confused. Could he have guessed wrongly?

    The car had already left the suburbs. As a person who was in charge of such a huge corporation, Jun Shiling had to look through stacks of documents even when he was in the car.

    They passed by a traffic light and the car stopped. Jun Shiling rubbed his eyebrows, put down the documents, and looked out of the car window.

    The car window was facing a bus stop. It seemed like it had been a long time since the poster at the bus stop was changed. It looked a little dpidated.

    But the dpidated surroundings could not hide the beauty of the person in the poster.

    It was an advertisement for skincare products. Her long, raven hair fell over her smooth shoulders like a silken waterfall. She had willowy eyebrows, bright eyes, and a perfect smile, showing off her overly-mboyant beauty.

    It was the advertisement poster that Xia Wanyuan had taken when she first debuted. In the past two years, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation had gradually deteriorated. Since then, very few advertisers had approached her to shoot advertisements anymore. The photos there were hung up two years ago.

    The red light turned green and the car continued to move forward. Jun Shiling retracted his gaze from the poster.

    In the vi, Chen Yun¡¯s angry voice came from the phone on the sofa.

    ¡°Hey! Can you hear me? Hey! Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯m telling you! You¡¯re not allowed to cause any more trouble for me, do you hear me? Stay at home until you join the drama production team!¡±

    The phone was still connected to the call. Xia Wanyuan was speechless at this talkative and long-winded manager. He kept calling her after hanging up once. It was making her even more annoyed by him.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan threw her phone aside as he continued to yammer away and applied a facial mask on her face. She had just learned how to take care of her skin the modern way and would make the most of it.

    Ten minutester, the call was finally over.

    Xia Wanyuan tapped the facial mask on her face lightly. ording to the inte, she could remove the mask when it was half dry. Xia Wanyuan went to the bathroom with a zombie-like face to wash the liquid off her face.

    Touching her supple, baby-like skin, Xia Wanyuan could not help but sigh. It was truly not bad to be reborn as a younger version of herself.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and picked up the phone. She rarely used it ever since she came here because she was not familiar with it.

    However, Chen Yun had called her twice to tell her about the hot searches about her on Weibo. She had been hated on again. However, what she was curious about was what this ¡®Weibo¡¯ was.

    The original owner of the body was often scolded online, so other than when she needed to post on Weibo, she would not look at it. Hence, the Weibo application icon was ced especially at a ce difficult to ess. Xia Wanyuan took a long time to find it.

    The moment she clicked on it, she was blinded by a series of red dots. There were countless private messages andments, and any one of them was scolding her.

    On Weibo¡¯s trending page number three, there was the caption ¡°Xia Wanyuan has been reduced to eating street food because of bankruptcy¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless. That was clearly something delicious.

    Clicking into the trending topic, she saw that a few marketing ounts had posted several photos of her happily eating braised chicken. She took a casual nce and saw that thements were mostly sarcastic.

    Big Bad Wolf: Serves her right. Let¡¯s see if she can still unt her wealth. This is karma.

    Nothing Matters: What did the braised chicken do wrong to deserve being eaten by her? She¡¯s humiliating the braised chicken.

    Cutie Xiao Ruan: Am I the only one who thinks that she looks quite cute while eating it?

    South Mountain: The one upstairs, you are the only one who thinks so.

    The people whomented below all agreed that Xiao Ruan should go for an eye check-up.

    The inte was abuzz with hatefulments. Xia Wanyuan only took a nce to scan the mass messages targeted at her. In any case, they were all insults and ridicule. It was fine to just take a look, but there was no need to take it to heart.

    However, they kept scolding the owner of the body for being ugly and having bad acting skills.

    After watching the videos posted by the anti-fans to mock her, Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly. She agreed with what theizens had said.

    The awkward conversation and stiff expression were indeed not very good acting skills.

    When Chen Yun called just now, not only did he mention this matter, he had also sent the script over electronically.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up a bright red strawberry from the table and ced it in her mouth. In the past, even in the royal pce, she rarely ate those fruits. It was sweet. Narrowing her eyes in focus, Xia Wanyuan flipped open the script that Chen Yun had given her, taking the time to read it quietly.

    ¡­

    The music was deafening. In the luxurious nightclub, a few young men and women were gathered together, drinking and ying games.

    ¡°Hey, why haven¡¯t we been able to contact Xia Wanyuan over the past two days?¡± A young girl with pink hair raised her wine ss. There was obvious mischief in her eyes.

    ¡°I can¡¯t contact her either. I heard from my father that the Xia family¡¯s stocks have fallen and their shares have been diluted. They¡¯re pretty much doomed.¡±

    ¡°She deserves it. Look at how arrogant she is usually. How funny is it that she thinks we love hanging out with her.¡±

    ¡°Tell me about it. I even heard that the devil of the Xia family has been drinking in nightclubs every day. She must have suffered a blow from the bankruptcy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had always been praised by friends since her family background was better than her friends. In the past, when those people saw Xia Wanyuan, they would always call her Sister Xia. Now that the Xia family was in trouble, they were the first ones to hit her when she was down.

    ¡­

    There were very few pieces of ck furniture in the huge bedroom of the Jun family¡¯s manor, making the quietness and emptiness even more apparent. If not for the asional ticking of the keyboard, one would have thought that the room was empty.

    Jun Shiling looked at the detailed introduction of Xia Wanyuan on theputer. He didn¡¯t find anything wrong with it, even now that he had gotten more information on what she had done every day.

    It was as if she had suddenly changed into a different person overnight. He had specially had people check Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone and the vi¡¯s surveince that night. There was no outside contact with her at all.

    How could she change so drastically overnight? Jun Shiling subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table. After a long time, he closed hisptop and walked to the bed to sleep.

    The entire manor fell into silence. The huge space seemed to have no signs of life.

    The next morning, the car Lin Jing had sent arrived at the vi.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the apartment is ready. You can move there today.¡±

    After eating, Xia Wanyuan got into the car. Since everything that remained was all left behind by the original owner of the body, she had nothing to take with her. She could cook, but she was toozy to do it herself. Thus, she brought Nanny Li to the apartment and left the other servants in the vi.

    The new apartment was located in an extremely expensive building in the heart of the city. Although it was just an apartment, it was designed within an exquisiteplex.

    There was a water source in the house which watered all sorts of flowers and nts that grew there. There was also an indoor swimming pool near the French windows. The overall decor of the house was extremely simple and elegant, which was all to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s liking.

    Xia Wanyuan was satisfied. The development of technology was truly a magical thing. In the past, although she had enjoyed the highest level of treatment,pared to the convenience brought by modern technology today, there was still a huge difference.

    Xia Wanyuan did not ask Nanny Li to prepare lunch. Instead, she ordered takeout for herself based on what she had seen on the inte. In less than half an hour, all the food and desserts that Xia Wanyuan had ordered arrived.

    ¡°Amazing,¡± Xia Wanyuan eximed as she ate. Nanny Li looked speechlessly at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s takeaway.

    Was it because she, who had received a gold medal chef¡¯s certificate, was not good at cooking anymore? Why had Miss Xia started to adopt amoner style recently?

    As a result, Nanny Li started to worry that she might lose her job soon.

    After lunch, Xia Wanyuan was about to take a nap when her phone rang. A string of unknown numbers showed up, and Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment before picking it up. She was cautious as she had heard about many harassment calls online.

    ¡°Hello! Sister Xia, something happened to Xia Yu. I didn¡¯t know who to call, so I could only call you.¡±

    It was very noisy on the other end of the line. Xia Wanyuan had to ask the other party to repeat herself before she could react.

    Only then did she remember that the original owner of this body had a half-brother.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s father¡¯s greatest hobby in life was women. Xia Wanyuan was the daughter of his first wife. And her younger brother, Xia Yu, was a secret half-sibling who had been birthed by a mistress outside. He was carried back to the Xia familyter, so he was never liked by Xia Wanyuan. It would be an understatement to say that they had a poor rtionship.

    However, when Xia Wanyuan was very young, her biological mother passed away due to illness. Father Xia quickly married his new wife and took her back home.

    After Xia Wanyuan had entered the entertainment industry, she rarely went home. It had been many years since she contacted this half-brother of hers.

    They had the same father but different mothers. If they were in the Xia Dynasty, they were considered concubines and their children. However, the current Xia Wanyuan did not have any enmity with her younger brother. Since he was her younger brother, she decided to go and see what was going on.

    She arrived at the ce that the young man had mentioned over the phone. In the luxurious private room, broken pieces of wine bottles were all over the floor.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan appear at the door, the young man who had just called ran over to her with his hand on his forehead.

    ¡°Sister Xia, pleasee and persuade Brother Yu. He¡¯s injured but he refuses to go to the hospital.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked around the broken wine bottles, and she saw the boy who was surrounded by a few young people.

    He had a head full of pink hair. His fringe was so long that it covered his exquisite eyes when he lowered his head. He looked up when he heard the sound of the door opening. Thanks to his good looks, pink hair seemed to look good on him. When he saw who it was, his eyes shed with hostility.

    ¡°What are you doing here? Are you here to mock me?¡± Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were filled with scorn. Because he was too agitated, he pulled his injured arm slightly, causing him to hiss softly in pain.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu, who looked to be about 17 or 18 years old. However, he did not have the vigor of a young person at all. His shirt, which was wide open to his waist, revealed a patch of white.

    ¡°Did you fight?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips parted slightly as she looked at Xia Yu¡¯s bleeding arm. It looked rather serious. ¡°And you lost. How embarrassing,¡± she said with a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°None of your business!¡± Xia Yu already felt embarrassed enough of the fact that he had lost the fight. Now that Xia Wanyuan had made fun of him, he felt like he was losing face.

    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go to the hospital to take a look.¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to bicker with him. He seemed to be in quite a serious condition and needed to be bandaged quickly. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he lost too much blood.

    ¡°What right do you have to control me? I¡¯m not going.¡± Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan arrogantly.

    ¡°Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, lift him and take him to the hospital.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished her sentence, the people that Lin Jing had sent to help Xia Wanyuan move came in. They did not care about Xia Yu¡¯s struggles and carried him out.

    In the hospital, Xia Yu was lying on the bed with a cast on his arm and a bandage wrapped around his head. The results of the examination showed that he might have a slight concussion, so the doctor suggested that he stay two days for observation.

    He was still furious over the way Xia Wanyuan had tied him up and sent him to the hospital. His exquisite face was filled with anger.

    After asking the doctor about Xia Yu¡¯s condition, Xia Wanyuan went over to Xia Yu¡¯s ward.

    She looked over from the door. Having removed his yboy disguise, Xia Yu looked like a child in the simple hospital gown.

    Upon hearing the footsteps at the door, Xia Yu looked up impatiently. His frown deepened after he saw that it was Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Can you stop being annoying? Who else does things like you do? And you even asked for help.¡± Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked a little ashamed. The fact that he was carried to the hospital by force was too embarrassing for him. It gave him no face at all and simply tore down his handsome image.

    ¡°Would you havee if I asked you to? Why can¡¯t I get help?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan approached Xia Yu with a teasing smile.

    ¡°So should I be like you and put on a brave front even though I¡¯ve been beaten to the extent that I¡¯ll need to go to the hospital?¡±

    ¡°I lost the fight just because they had a lot of people.¡± Xia Yu lowered his head unnaturally. His long eyshes hid the anger in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s all because of their cheap mouths.¡±

    ¡°If they had a lot of people, why didn¡¯t you find more people too? You can¡¯t win only from putting on a brave front and showing off.¡±

    Hearing this, Xia Yu suddenly looked up and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes. Originally he had thought that he would be ridiculed by Xia Wanyuan, but he did not expect that she would tell him to bring more people to fight.

    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. What¡¯s the matter? It seems like you don¡¯t have a chance to film anymore because we are bankrupt. Are you so bored that you came here to meddle in my affairs?¡±

    To hide the awkwardness in his heart, Xia Yu subconsciously mocked Xia Wanyuan like before. But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted saying those words when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m not bored, and I do have a drama to film. Rest well and stay in the hospital for the time being.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could sense Xia Yu¡¯s awkwardness. Xia Yu was clearly still a child who had not grown up, so she did not take his words to heart.

    After speaking, Xia Wanyuan turned around and went downstairs to pay the hospital bill. Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Xia Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn¡¯t in the end.

    When it was time for dinner, amotion could be heard from the ward next door.

    Xia Yu was woken up. The anesthesia had passed and the wound on his arm was burning.

    He nced at the door and looked away.

    ¡°Tsk, what¡¯s the big deal about someone delivering food? It¡¯s as if they want the whole world to know about it.¡±

    On the table beside him was a packed lunch delivered by the nurse. Xia Yu picked it up and used his chopsticks to push the rice in his bowl into his mouth. ¡°The packed lunch is pretty good too. Hmph.¡±

    Although he said he didn¡¯t care, Xia Yu still felt a little sour in his heart. The corners of his eyes gradually turned red. He stubbornly wiped his eyes with his uninjured left hand.

    After a few bites, Xia Yu finally threw the packed lunch aside. ¡°It tastes awful.¡±

    The sound of running footsteps came from the door. Xia Yu assumed it was the family of the patient beside him.

    A terrible feeling started to overwhelm him. He covered her head with the nket and buried himself in it. Closing his eyes tightly under the nket, Xia Yu tried to hold back his tears.

    However, he felt a small force pulling his nket away.

    Xia Yu thought it was a nurse and didn¡¯t want to care about her. However, he didn¡¯t expect the force to be so persistent. It was determined to pull the nket off.

    What the heck was wrong with the nurse? Sick of her nonsense, Xia Yu lifted the nket suddenly and found a tiny head resting on the bed, looking at him withrge, teary, grape-like eyes.

    ¡°Uncle, you aren¡¯t sleeping!¡±

    Xiao Bao called out to him and curiously sized up this uncle he had never seen before.

    Xia Yu was shocked. It was only then that he realized that Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a pale pink knitted dress, was sitting quietly on the sofa in the ward.

    As a member of the Xia family, he was one of the few people who knew that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were married. However, he hadn¡¯t contacted Xia Wanyuan for a long time. In the past, Jun Shiling wouldn¡¯t allow Jun Yin to appear so casually too. This was the first time Xia Yu had met Jun Yin.

    Looking at the cute little dumpling in front of him, Xia Yu was a little flustered and could only reply softly.

    ¡°Uncle, your eyes are red. Are you crying?¡±

    Children were usually straightforward. They would say whatever was in their mind.

    Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan in panic and was embarrassed upon hearing Xiao Bao¡¯s question.

    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t cry. The hospital food was too spicy for me, that¡¯s all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the tomato and egg rice on the table. Of course it was¡­

    Noticing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze on the packed lunch, his face slowly turned red.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    Xia Yu raised his neck to look at Xia Wanyuan, as though he wanted to use this posture to look more confident.

    However, he did not expect that his fine hair had be a mess after being under the nket. The corners of his eyes had turned red from crying just now, and he pretended to be arrogant. To others, he looked both pitiful and cute.

    ¡°Uncle, I heard that you were sick. Mommy brought me here to visit you. We brought you delicious food too!¡±

    Her new home was in the city and was only 20 minutes away from Xiao Bao¡¯s kindergarten. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had gone to pick Xiao Bao up on her own.

    Nanny Li had prepared an especially sumptuous meal. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know that Nanny Li had unterally fallen into the terror of unemployment. She only knew that Nanny Li had prepared everything from creatures swimming in the sea to those flying in the sky and not missed those which were running on the ground.

    After eating a lot of food that she had never eaten before, Xia Wanyuan was very satisfied.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s school ended early that day and so they ate dinner early. Thinking of Xia Yu who was still in the hospital, Xia Wanyuan had Nanny Li prepare some food for him and was preparing to ask someone to send it over.

    However, when Xiao Bao heard that he had an uncle, he insisted on going to see him. Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to agree and brought the food over herself.

    Xia Wanyuan put away the packed lunch and moved the table away from the bed. Then, she unpacked the steaming dishes that she brought and put them onto the table one by one.

    Juicy prawns, fragrant pork bone soup, and green vegetables. Steam curled up over the variety of dishes and moistened Xia Yu¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Eat. Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow. I¡¯ll get Nanny Li to make it and send it over.¡±

    After cing a bowl of rice in front of Xia Yu, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and turned on the television in the ward.

    Xia Yu, who was initially a little touched, was speechless when he saw ¡°Young Master¡¯s Sweet Little Cutie¡± ying on the television.

    ¡°Uncle, dig in.¡± Xiao Bao couldn¡¯t help but urge Xia Yu to eat. He was like a little adult. ¡°It won¡¯t taste good when it gets cold.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± He looked away from the television. Compared to the monotonous packed lunch distributed by the hospital, the food in front of him made him want to salivate.

    The television drama was still ying, and Xia Wanyuan watched it with a serious face. Although the plot was awkward, she wanted to learn how modern people acted.

    By the time the episode was over, Xia Yu had finally finished his meal. He looked at the clean bowls and dishes.

    Jun Yin blinked. ¡°Uncle, you can really eat.¡±

    ¡°Ahem,¡± Xia Yu touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. It was the first meal he had after fighting someone. How could he not be hungry?

    After Xia Yu was done eating, Xia Wanyuan waved at Xiao Bao. ¡°Let¡¯s go back, Xiao Bao.¡±

    ¡°Rest well. Just send me a message on WeChat if you have any cravings.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± There was no free lunch in the world. Xia Yu was rarely obedient.

    ¡°Uncle, rest well. We¡¯ll visit you another day.¡±

    Xiao Bao felt very close to this young uncle who resembled Xia Wanyuan. His chubby little hands wanted to imitate Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gesture of patting his head tofort Xia Yu.

    However, he wasn¡¯t tall enough and couldn¡¯t reach Xia Yu¡¯s head no matter how hard he tried. Having never interacted with such a young child before, Xia Yu had no idea what he was up to.

    Knowing what the little dumpling wanted to do, Xia Wanyuan walked up and picked up Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao then reached out and patted Xia Yu¡¯s pink hair.

    ¡°Good luck, Uncle.¡±

    Xia Yu had been brought back to the Xia family since he was young and his status had been in an awkward state. Madam Xia and Xia Wanyuan did not like him. It was already good enough that his father remembered that he had a son. No one had ever approached him like this.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling gaze, Xia Yu shrunk his head in embarrassment. His pink hair could not hide the redness that was gradually staining his ears.

    Xia Yu watched Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao leave. Although he couldn¡¯t bear to part with them, he tried to put on a front. ¡°Hmph, I wonder what this woman is up to again.¡±

    ¡­

    After Xia Wanyuan went home, she took afortable bath and blow-dried her hair. Just after she had finished her skincare routine and sat on the sofa, Xiao Bao held his phone and ran towards her with his short legs.

    ¡°Mommy, this is for you.¡± Xiao Bao handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan, then obediently hugged her arm and sat beside her.

    The next day was the weekend. It was time to bring Jun Yin back to the old residence to visit Old Master Jun. Worried that Jun Yin would not cooperate because of Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling had called Jun Yin after work.

    Who would have thought that Jun Yin would want Xia Wanyuan to go with him?

    Xia Wanyuan was afraid of Old Master Jun. It would be strange if she would agree to go. Jun Shiling found an excuse, but Xiao Bao insisted that Xia Wanyuan go with him.

    Before Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened, the person on the phone screen switched.

    Jun Shiling looked at the screen and let out an unconscious gasp.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished showering and taking care of her skin, had exquisite skin that was wless and supple. Her entire body was a light shade of pink and without makeup, her rosy lips looked even more alluring.

    The house was warm, so Xia Wanyuan wore a silk dress. Her long ck hair made her corbone seem like jade, so fair that it was blinding.

    Xia Wanyuan saw that many modern women wore sleeveless dresses like this outside, so she slowly epted it. Hence, at this moment, she did not feel anything unusual as an ancient person from a thousand years ago.

    On the other hand, Jun Shiling, who had always been calm andposed, suddenly felt agitated.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Her rosy lips parted slightly.

    The person in the video call looked tired.

    ¡°I¡¯ll bring Jun Yin back to the old residence tomorrow. He wants you to apany him.¡±

    Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded with a hint of hoarseness.

    ¡°To visit Grandfather?¡± Xia Wanyuan recalled that Old Master Jun was a spirited and interesting old man.

    Her grandfather was still around when she was little. In her memory, her grandfather would always hold her in his arms and gently poke her face with his beard, and that old man wouldugh loudly whenever she cried out.

    Later on, when the Imperial City copsed, that old man, who was nearing the end of his lifespan, ignored everyone¡¯s objections and mounted his horse. Together with his children, he died in battle for the Xia Dynasty.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly fell silent. Although she did not speak, Jun Shiling could feel the sadness surrounding her.

    When Jun Shiling wanted to say something, Xiao Bao shook Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Mommy,e with me?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan freed herself from her sorrow and patted Jun Yin¡¯s head. She turned to look at the phone. ¡°I can apany him. What time do we leave tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Nine o¡¯clock.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she handed the phone to Xiao Bao and went to get some cherries in the fridge. She had recently fallen in love with those sweet fruits.

    Momentster, a slim waist shed across the screen, and then a smaller version of himself appeared on that same screen.

    ¡°Daddy, do you have anything else to say?¡± Jun Yin was clearly talking to him, but his eyes kept darting in other directions. Jun Shiling knew that he was looking at Xia Wanyuan.

    There was a magical impulse in his heart. He also wanted to look at Xia Wanyuan. But Jun Shiling would never say that out loud. ¡°What did you learn in school today?¡±

    ¡°I learned a poem.¡±

    ¡°Recite it for me.¡±

    ¡°The bright moon before bed¡­¡±

    ¡°What did you eat?¡±

    Other than work-rted matters, Jun Shiling usually would settle calls within a minute. It was a little unusual that day.

    ¡°Daddy, did you miss us?¡± Xiao Bao asked when he heard his Daddy asking so many questions.

    Jun Yin remembered that Xia Wanyuan had told him that Jun Shiling actually cared about him, but he just didn¡¯t know how to express it.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. Miss them? It was the first time he had heard such a cheesy word.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯ll see us tomorrow. Mommy and I miss you too.¡±

    Xiao Bao finally ced his gaze on Jun Shiling, blinking hisrge eyes.

    ¡°Sleep early. I¡¯ll pick you up tomorrow morning.¡±

    After hanging up the call, Jun Shiling¡¯s mind was still filled with a shocking emptiness.

    <i>¡®Did she miss me?¡¯</i>

    Poor Xiao Bao had been neglected by his father.

    <i>Hmph. As expected, she was still the same. She wanted to make use of the child to win his favor.</i>

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips as if he was disgusted. However, there was no disgust in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of anticipation that he did not realize.

    ¡­

    In the ward, Xia Yu, whose arm was in so much pain that he couldn¡¯t fall asleep, groaned on the bed for a long time. In the end, he still couldn¡¯t fall asleep.

    Hence, he got up and grabbed his phone, opened Weibo, and subconsciously searched for the name Xia Wanyuan.

    The news feed was all about the topic of ¡®Xia Wanyuan had been reduced to eating braised chicken after going bankrupt¡¯.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes widened. ¡®Has this woman be that poor?¡¯

    When he opened thements, they were all mocking and abusing Xia Wanyuan.

    [This woman is so ugly.]

    [Serves her right. What did the braised chicken do to deserve being eaten by her? The braised chicken is so pitiful.]

    ¡°Pfft, this woman is doing so badly. Her acting is terrible and she¡¯s so ugly.¡±

    Xia Yu mumbled to himself, but his uninjured left hand was awkwardly typing on his phone.

    [Go treat your eyes if you are blind. You¡¯re the ugly one! Your whole family is ugly!]

    [Does eating braised chicken bother you? Do you even have the money to eat braised chicken? Why are you talking sh*t here, you piece of trash?]

    Xia Wanyuan lived a disciplinary life, so she woke up around seven every morning. The clothes she had bought at Tianfu Road the previous time had all been delivered to her ce.

    It was not cold in the spring season. Since she was going to meet her elders. Xia Wanyuan wore an apricot short skirt and a light blue knee-length windbreaker. The waist design of the windbreaker made her waist look as slim as a willow branch.

    The white pear-shaped earrings and the apricot flower embroidery on her dressplemented each other. As she walked, she gave off a gentle and gentle feeling, as well as the vitality of spring.

    There was a gigantic French window facing the east of the apartment. There wererge pots of various flowers and nts ced at the spacious corner in front of it, where a huge plush carpet was ced in the middle.

    Xia Wanyuan sat by the window while Xiao Bao was still asleep. She put on her headphones and searched for her favorite music on her phone.

    In the Xia Dynasty, she used to listen to live music yed by musical instruments and songs sung by musicians. Thus, two days ago, she had searched for some soothing piano music and ancient zither tunes to listen to when she had time.

    But that day, she clicked on the songs that were on the music charts. She wanted to know what kind of songs were popr.

    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you who had broken into my heart¡­¡± Soothing music apanied by a gentle female voice sounded.

    A slight breeze outside the window brought in the morning dew, and the glowing sun slowly rose from the horizon. The number of cars on the roads of the city slowly increased. People began to appear everywhere in the quiet city.

    The steam from the breakfast stand rose in spirals, mixing with the fog and being carried by the people rushing to work.

    ¡°Truly prosperous times.¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart. She did not like living in the distant suburbs. Apart from being far away, it was also because she felt that there was ack of a human atmosphere.

    ¡­

    ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s already half-past eight now. Why don¡¯t you go up earlier? Little Master and Miss Xia might be up already.¡±

    The chauffeur carefully looked at Jun Shiling, who was looking out of the window with a gloomy expression. The young master, who always timed every second urately, had miraculously missed the originally scheduled time by half an hour that day.

    After a while, the chauffeur thought that Jun Shiling would not speak anymore and was about to mind his own business.

    ¡°Which floor are they on?¡±

    ¡°The 16th floor, Young Master.¡±

    By the time he finished speaking, Jun Shiling had already gotten out of the car.

    Nanny Li was preparing breakfast on the first floor. Xia Wanyuan had suddenly be very easygoing recently, and she ate whatever she cooked. Moreover, she often praised her cooking skills.

    After receiving the praise, Nanny Li spared no effort to work even harder, and every meal was sumptuous and delicious.

    The doorbell suddenly rang. Nanny Li looked outside and Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face appeared on the screen.

    Nanny Li hurriedly opened the door.

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Is Jun Yin awake?¡±

    ¡°Little Master is still sleeping.¡±

    When Nanny Li saw that Jun Shiling did not react, she added, ¡°Miss Xia has already woken up and is watching the sunrise by the window on the second floor.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling was expressionless. He changed his shoes and walked towards the second floor.

    The noise reduction function of the earpiece was excellent. Xia Wanyuan listened to the song and hummed along, not hearing any movements downstairs.

    Jun Shiling walked to the second floor and saw a woman in an apricot skirt and headphones sitting on the carpet. Her exquisite side profile was illuminated by the morning sun behind her.

    After staring at her for a while, Jun Shiling went back downstairs.

    Nanny Li saw that Jun Shiling hade back down very quickly, and thought that Xia Wanyuan might have angered Jun Shiling again. She nced up worriedly.

    Speaking of which, it was strange. In the past, Nanny Li hated Xia Wanyuan very much and wished that Jun Shiling would divorce her as soon as possible. But these few days, Nanny Li felt that Xia Wanyuan might not be the person the rumors said she was.

    Jun Shiling sat down on the sofa and picked up the finance magazine that was half turned over on the table.

    Not long after, footsteps could be heard from the second floor.

    ¡°Good morning, Mommy!¡±

    After brushing his teeth and washing his face, the first thing Xiao Bao did was to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Good morning, let¡¯s go and have breakfast.¡±

    Taking off her headphones, Xia Wanyuan took Xiao Bao¡¯s hand as they went downstairs. She did not expect to see Jun Shiling sitting on the sofa.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. Ignoring everything else, Jun Shiling was truly good-looking.

    Jun Shiling heard themotion and looked up at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Daddy.¡±

    Perhaps because his mother was by his side, Xiao Bao felt that Jun Shiling was less scary. When he saw Jun Shiling, his big eyes curved into crescents.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia, the food is ready.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. You guys eat. We will leave at nine.¡± After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he continued to read the magazine. His sculpted profile was expressionless.

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and led Xiao Bao to the dining table to eat. The room was silent for a moment. There was only the sound of chewing.

    It was exactly nine o¡¯clock after breakfast.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was as still as a statue on the sofa, finally stood up and walked out. Xia Wanyuan held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and followed behind. They had just gotten into the car when several people rushed over from afar. ¡°Where¡¯s Young Master Jun?¡±

    ¡°They¡¯ve already left.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The building belonged to the Jun family. As Jun Shiling had always kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public, it wasn¡¯t easy for these small managers to hear that their big boss was here. They wanted to get close to him, but what they saw was only the exhaust fumes of the car.

    Around ten o¡¯clock, the car finally stopped in a quiet alley.

    Xia Wanyuan looked outside curiously. The ce where the former head of the Jun family lived was different from what she had imagined.

    But the intricately carved eaves and the painted art that could be seen everywhere, were somewhat simr to the former Great Xia Imperial Pce, giving Xia Wanyuan a sense of familiarity.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make Grandpa angry. If I find out that you have ill intentions, you¡¯ll bear the consequences yourself.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan had changed a lot in the past two days, Jun Shiling still warned her out of concern for her past behavior.

    Xia Wanyuan gave a perfunctory ¡°Mm¡±, then led Xiao Bao out of the car. The alley was surrounded byrge sycamore trees, and sunlight danced across their bodies. Jun Shiling watched quietly from behind the two of them, his gaze dark and gloomy. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

    After a few steps, Xia Wanyuan turned around. A ray of sunlight shone on her face, revealing her long eyshes. ¡°Lead the way.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted lightly and quickened his pace to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    Before long, they arrived at a courtyard with two stone lions at the entrance.

    A middle-aged man was waiting at the door. When he saw the three figures, shock shed across his eyes. However, he quickly went forward with a calm expression.

    ¡°Uncle Liu.¡±

    ¡°Young Master, Old Master is practicing calligraphy in the courtyard.¡± Uncle Liu bowed slightly towards Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Just as Jun Shiling was about to step in, Xiao Bao quickly slipped through the gap between the door.

    ¡°Great-grandfather, I¡¯m here!¡± A soft cry startled the pigeons in the courtyard.

    Before Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival, the person who treated Xiao Bao the best was the old master of the Jun family. Hence, Xiao Bao was close to him.

    <h4>Chapter 17: Calligraphy</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°Oh, my baby is here.¡±

    Old Master Jun, who was practicing calligraphy under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, heard the familiar childish voice.

    Immediately putting down the calligraphy brush in his hand, he walked towards the door with a smile on his kind face.

    Mirroring the elderly man¡¯s expression, Xiao Bao, who was wearing a shirt printed with Pikachu, smiled until his eyes curved into crescents. He threw himself into Old Master Jun¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Good morning, Great-grandfather.¡± Xiao Bao grabbed his Great-grandfather¡¯s beard and grinned.

    ¡°Morning, sweetheart. Where¡¯s your dad?¡±

    ¡°Daddy and Mommy are outside.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan? The old master remained calm upon hearing Xiao Bao¡¯s words, but deep down, he was contemting.

    He had already felt sorry towards his grandson by forcing him to marry her back then. Hence, he did notment on the fact that Jun Shiling had neglected Xia Wanyuan.

    In the past two years, Jun Shiling had gradually gained a firm foothold. His divorcing Xia Wanyuan was a foreseeable step. He himself did not like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s behavior either.

    However, thinking of his precious great-grandson, he had no choice but to give Xia Wanyuan some degree of status.

    Well¡­ The old master sighed deeply. He didn¡¯t want to care about their affairs anymore. As he looked at his cute great-grandson, he only hoped that Ah Ling could settle the problems properly without hurting the child.

    The sound of the door being pushed open disrupted his train of thought. The old master widened his eyes and stared at the person walking towards him.

    His impression of Xia Wanyuan was still her being that woman who had approached him with an ultrasound scan four years ago. Her makeup was exquisite, and there was an unconceble ambition and domineering streak within her eyes.

    However, the Xia Wanyuan who was currently standing beside Jun Shiling was elegant and generous. Her brows wereposed and exuded a sense of calmness.

    Standing under the carved door eaves, she looked like a nobledy who had walked out of a painting, exuding an especially ssic elegance.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± Upon seeing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao let go of his grandfather¡¯s hand and ran to Xia Wanyuan.

    When the little dumpling reached her, Xia Wanyuan smiled and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. At the same time, Jun Shiling bowed slightly towards Old Master Jun. ¡°Grandpa.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the old man in front of her who was still hale and hearty despite his age. He had a benevolent look on his face. She bowed slightly and greeted him as Jun Shiling did. ¡°Grandfather.¡±

    Her calm and courteous tone, as well as herposed bearing, made the former head of the Jun family exim in admiration. He looked at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan up and down involuntarily.

    ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re here,e in and have a seat.¡± Great-Grandfather finally looked away.

    It had been a long time since the elderly man had seen Xiao Bao, and he missed the child dearly. Hence, he brought Xiao Bao to see the toys and gifts he had prepared for him.

    The room fell silent while Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa.

    From the moment she entered, Xia Wanyuan realized that the quadrangle looked rather ordinary and small.

    However, the redwood tables and chairs in the room, the double ear vase with golden pheasant carvings, the folding screen that had green enamel carvings, and the various small decorations that could be seen everywhere were all filled with an ancient aura. One look and one could tell that they were well-worn by the sands of time.

    There were several picturesquendscapes hanging on the wall. When Xia Wanyuan was young, she had been enlightened by the most respected Master Yu Qian of the Xia Dynasty. Later on, she was nurtured by the most outstanding masters of the four arts.

    She was very aplished in painting and calligraphy. Even Master Yu Qian praised her for her native intelligence.

    The paintings hanging in the room were all full of content and emotions as if the artist had hidden his pure aura into the paintings, allowing them to pass through time and converse with people a thousand yearster.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up and she couldn¡¯t help but walk to the front of the drawing in the middle. The weather was bleak, the clouds were clear, the brush strokes were fine, and the inkwork was exquisite. Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t help but carefully ponder over the strokes.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling had been shocked too many times before, so he was no longer surprised that Xia Wanyuan seemed to be interested in Chinese arts. His deep gaze was fixed on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s focused profile.

    ¡­

    It became immediately apparent that Old Master Jun liked spicy food. During lunch, apart from the nd dishes for Jun Shiling and Jun Yin, there were also several tes of Sichuan dishes that were filled with bright red chili oil.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the Spicy Boiled Fish drenched in pepper and chili. It looked really spicy and glistened enticingly.

    Ever since she had arrived in the modern world, the food she had tasted was basically fancy and delicious. She wanted to try it. Xia Wanyuan blinked and finally reached out to pick up a piece and put it into her mouth.

    Mm, the spicy sensation filled her mouth, but the taste was indeed not bad. Xia Wanyuan could not help but take another bite. The aftertaste of the chili pepper began to hit her, and Xia Wanyuan felt as if the tip of her tongue was burning.

    Just as she was about to swallow a mouthful of rice to relieve the spiciness, someone gave her a ss of water. Xia Wanyuan turned her head and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile.

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Xia Wanyuan said softly. Swallowing down the water, it finally relieved the spiciness.

    Old Master Jun, who was sitting on the main seat, watched Jun Shiling¡¯s actions without batting an eyelid. He picked up a piece of fish and threw it into his mouth, hiding the smile on his face.

    After lunch, it was Old Master Jun¡¯s resting time. Xiao Bao had been ying with toys for a long time and he felt sleepy, so he went to nap with Great-Grandfather.

    ¡°Young Master, do you and Miss Xia need to rest?¡±

    Compared to how he had neglected Xia Wanyuan when she just arrived, Uncle Liu¡¯s attitude towards her had clearly changed.

    After all, if she was able toe home with Jun Shiling and was even close to Little Master, he naturally had to reevaluate Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status. Even the old master seemed to have an undetectable approval of her.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need, Uncle Liu. You should go and rest.¡± Upon seeing Xia Wanyuan walking towards the courtyard, Jun Shiling followed suit.

    The afternoon sun was not scorching in the spring season. Instead, it emitted afortable warmth. In the blue sky, cotton candy-like clouds slowly floated by. The leaves of the sycamore trees rustled in the spring breeze, and the wind blew the ink-stained paper on the table.

    The ink b on the table was as smooth as jade, and the delicate fragrance of the pine-soot ink drifted along with the wind.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and knew that the ink and paper on the table were of the highest quality, which gave her an itch to show off her skills.

    ¡°You can use these. Grandpa likes to practice calligraphy and likes appreciating other people¡¯s works too.¡±

    Jun Shiling had unknowingly walked under the sycamore tree. The afternoon sun shone on his face, making him look every part like an aristocratic gentleman.

    ¡°Can I?¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head, her eyes filled with obvious anticipation.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    Xia Wanyuan took off her windbreaker and ced it aside. Picking up the brush on the table, she dipped it in ink. Then she tilted her head and thought for a while before putting down the brush.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand seemed slender and weak, but unexpectedly, she did not lose her grip on the thick brush.

    The brush glided across the parchment and stretched, guided by her strokes that were firm, yet gentle at the same time.

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling stood by the side and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile. In a daze, he seemed to have walked into an ink painting. The person in front of him had a ssic elegance that he could not see through.

    ¡°Finished!¡± Xia Wanyuan finally put down her brush. The ink of the best quality truly lived up to its reputation. Although she had not written for a long time, she was able to write very smoothly with the high-quality ink.

    The ink painting in front of him suddenly swung open, and the smiling Xia Wanyuan in front of him seemed to have brought him back to reality.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to look at the words written by Xia Wanyuan. His gaze instantly froze, and his almond-shaped eyes shed with thousands of emotions.

    On the paper, there were three characters that were clearly defined and were stretched out like a phoenix circling in the sky.

    ¡°Jun¡±

    ¡°Shi¡±

    ¡°Ling¡±

    ¡°Since I borrowed your paper, I gifted you three characters in return.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyshes curled, and the sunlight cast a glow in her eyes.

    ¡°I can¡¯t tell.¡± Jun Shiling stared intently at the three words on the paper. As he was also somewhat proficient in calligraphy, he could tell that the strokes on the paper had their own unique charm and vigor. It was a rarity.

    Jun Shiling looked deeply into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes and finally nodded, revealing a look of certainty.

    ¡°It¡¯s well written.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile widened.

    ¡°Old Master, what do you think?¡±

    Unknowingly, Old Master Jun had woken up and was standing by the window, looking at the two of them.

    ¡°What opinions can I have?¡± Old Master sighed deeply. ¡°Ah Ling¡¯s parents passed away early and have been alone since young. I am already old, I don¡¯t even know when I am going to¡­¡±

    Hearing Old Master¡¯s words, Uncle Liu immediately replied, ¡°Old Master, don¡¯t say that. You are still in great health.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, I just feel bad for this grandson of mine. He doesn¡¯t have anyone by his side.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia seems to be very different from what the rumors say. Didn¡¯t the master say so back then? She is a blessing of the Young Master¡¯s.¡±

    The old man sighed as he looked at the couple under the sunlight.

    ¡°I hope so.¡±

    After Xiao Bao woke up, Jun Shiling went back with his men. After they left, Old Master looked at the door for a while before turning back to the courtyard.

    ¡°Master, the wind is blowing. Let me bring everything back inside.¡± Uncle Liu started to collect the paper and brush on the table.

    ¡°Hold on.¡±

    The old man seemed to have seen something strange as he stared intently at the words on the table.

    Uncle Liu tilted his head to take a look. He was ayman, but he could tell that this piece of calligraphy was written with great vigor.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Uncle Liu was shocked. ¡°Miss Xia wrote this just now.¡±

    ¡°Great! Words contain the essence of a person. It looks like I¡¯ve underestimated Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    The more Old Master considered the text, the more he felt that this piece of calligraphy was well written. He was amazed. After looking at it for a while, he finally raised his hand to signal for Uncle Liu.

    ¡°Xiao Liu, send these words to the manor.¡±

    The old man looked at it reluctantly and finally made up his mind.

    ¡°Yes, Old Master.¡±

    After sending Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao back to the apartment, Jun Shiling returned to the manor alone. The car drove in slowly and he looked at the flowers, nts, and pavilions outside.

    It was a ce that he had lived in for more than twenty years, but this was the first time Jun Shiling felt that his ce was too spacious.

    In his mind, he couldn¡¯t help but think of the person he had seen outside the window. Under the morning sun and surrounded by flowers and nts, the side profile of hers was as if illuminated by light.

    Four marble pirs supported the four corners of the big house and the bright crystal lights emitted a dazzling light.

    After taking off his suit, Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. He had never liked crowds since he was young, so there were very few people in the manor who would appear beside him unless it was necessary.

    For some reason, Jun Shiling suddenly felt that the room was too quiet that day.

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    A voice suddenly came from the door.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    Jun Shiling opened his eyes and looked towards the door. The servant was holding a rectangr box.

    ¡°Young Master, Old Master got someone to send this box over. He said to pass it to you.¡±

    ¡°Bring it over.¡±

    With permission, the servant brought the box in.

    After dismissing the servants, Jun Shiling opened the box. The smooth paper was as soft as a baby¡¯s skin under the light. Even as he opened the box, the smell of ink greeted him.

    The ink had dried, and the ink-ck words glistened under the light.

    An imperceptible warmth filled Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡­

    In the hospital, Xia Yu had just finished his battle with the haters. Putting down his phone in a huff, he looked towards the door for the umpteenth time.

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t she here yet?¡± Xia Yu pursed his lips. Nanny Li came to deliver lunch at noon and told him that Xia Wanyuan might visitter that evening.

    Which meant she should have been here by now.

    To think that he had been looking forward to it for so long. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    At this moment, the sound of high heels, mixed with the childish chattering of a child, could be heard from outside the door.

    Xia Yu hurriedly stuffed his phone under his pillow and covered himself with the nket. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

    As the temperature was a little colder at night, Xia Wanyuan had returned to the apartment to change her outfit. Once again, Xiao Bao insisted on visiting his uncle, so Xia Wanyuan agreed to bring him along.

    ¡°Uncle!¡±

    Xiao Bao opened the door and ran in, calling out to Xia Yu with his cute voice.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes twitched but he still pretended to be asleep.

    ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s time to get up and eat!¡± Xiao Bao leaned on the bed and poked Xia Yu¡¯s cheek with a chubby finger.

    Deciding enough time had passed, Xia Yu opened his eyes slowly as though someone had woken him up. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the little dumpling.

    ¡°Uncle!¡± Xiao Bao grinned from ear to ear.

    ¡°Good boy!¡± Xia Yu patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head and looked at Xia Wanyuan nonchntly. ¡°Why are you here again?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m bringing you food. Why are you more picky than Xiao Bao? He¡¯s a good boy and eats his carrots too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ced the dishes on the table.

    ¡°Uncle, you can¡¯t be so picky! Carrots are delicious.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao reached out and handed the bowl of pork ribs and carrots to Xia Yu.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Although he disliked the taste of carrots, Xia Yu still finished the te when he saw Xiao Bao¡¯s sparkling eyes.

    After dinner, Xia Yu yed games with Xiao Bao for some time. Xia Yu was young and had many tricks up his sleeve, and Xiao Bao was thoroughly enthralled by him.

    During that time, Xia Wanyuan found out more about Xia Yu¡¯s condition from the doctor before she returned to the ward. Seeing the two grinning faces, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. Although Xia Yu looked like a devil incarnate, he was actually still a child himself.

    ¡°The doctor said that you¡¯ll be discharged tomorrow. Do you n to go home?¡±

    Xia Yu, who was ying with Xiao Bao, paused when he heard this and his eyes were filled with mockery.

    ¡°Home? Which home are you referring to? And who is my so-called family? Is it Chairman Xia who has never cared about me, or is it the woman who wants me to disappear as soon as possible so that she can make space for her other child?¡±

    The ridicule from the outside world these past few days and the depression caged in his heart suddenly erupted from the word ¡®home¡¯.

    After shouting at Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu finally realized that he shouldn¡¯t have said that to her. He pursed his lips and lowered his head to hide the redness in his eyes.

    There was a long silence.

    ¡°Thene back with me. I¡¯ll be joining the production team in a few days. You can stay at home and apany Xiao Bao.¡±

    <i>¡®What?¡¯</i>

    Xia Yu raised his head abruptly, his eyes glistening.

    ¡°No need. I don¡¯t like to trouble others.¡±

    Ever since he was young, he knew that no one liked him. He was also used to not troubling anyone.

    ¡°Uncle,e back with us. That way, we can y together every day!¡±

    As if to emphasize his point, Xiao Bao hugged Xia Yu¡¯s arm and looked up at him expectantly.

    ¡°You¡¯re not troubling anyone. The house is already prepared. I¡¯ll have someone pick you up tomorrow.¡± Aftering to a decision, Xia Wanyuan picked Xiao Bao up from the bed and pulled him away.

    On the bed, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes glimmered with redness as he watched Xia Wanyuan leave the room.

    <h4>Chapter 19: Pick Somebody Up</h4>

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan sent a chauffeur to pick up Xia Yu.

    Worried that his pink hair would affect the little dumpling¡¯s innocent view of the world, Xia Yu went to the hair salon to dye his hair before he arrived at the house. With his soft ck hair, Xia Yu looked more youthful.

    He didn¡¯t bring much luggage as Xia Wanyuan had already prepared the basic necessities for his daily life. Once he arrived, she brought Xia Yu around the house.

    ¡°Nanny Li has already tidied up the room on the first floor. You can stay in that room.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Yu stuck his head out and measured the renovation of the house with his eyes. He then thought about the superior location and couldn¡¯t help but be amazed.

    ¡°Hey, this is for you.¡± Xia Yu handed Xia Wanyuan a card.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

    ¡°You know, that man didn¡¯t give me much money a month. There¡¯s not much left. I¡¯ll give it to you every month from now on.¡±

    Xia Yu pursed his lips nonchntly. ¡°Consider it my living expenses. I don¡¯t want to be eating braised chicken every meal.¡±

    A sh of amusement crossed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression. He must have seen thements online and was worried that she was poor, so he gave her the bank card.

    She pushed the card in front of her back.

    ¡°I¡¯m not that poor.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, forget it if you don¡¯t want it. You¡¯re so stubborn.¡± Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed after being rejected, but he felt that Xia Wanyuan was being stubborn for not epting the money.

    After all, the Xia family was now bankrupt and had no more money for her to squander. Speaking of which, even though Xia Wanyuan was married to a big shot, based on his understanding of Jun Shiling, if Xia Wanyuan died on the streets, Jun Shiling wouldn¡¯t even spare her a nce.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and eat first. I¡¯m going to the south to film tomorrow. You can stay here.¡±

    After lunch, Xiao Bao took a nap. Xia Wanyuan leaned on the balcony and looked at the butterfly orchids by the window.

    ¡°Why did you bring me back? Didn¡¯t you always treat me like air?¡±

    Now that there was no one around, Xia Yu finally asked the question he had been hiding in his heart for the past few days.

    ¡°I¡¯m your sister.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and smiled at Xia Yu. ¡°Besides, you¡¯re a kind child.¡±

    She wasn¡¯t a saint who would save anyone she saw. Xia Yu wasn¡¯t a bad child. She was only willing to help him because hecked someone to care for him.

    Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. He was kind? The devil incarnate was kind? People in Beijing wouldugh to death if they heard that.

    However, hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xia Yu could not deny that his heart was filled with joy. ¡°I would have believed you when I was three years old. What is your real motive?¡±

    ¡°My motive is to find a toy for Xiao Bao, is that reason enough?¡± Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Go and unpack your luggage. Don¡¯t expect others to unpack for you.¡±

    With that said, Xia Wanyuan waved her hand to dismiss Xia Yu. She didn¡¯t want to argue with a child.

    ¡°Why would I expect someone to unpack for me?¡±

    Xia Yu mumbled to himself as he went downstairs. Although he didn¡¯t get a definite answer, he still felt happy for some reason.

    ¡®I¡¯m such a big man and he¡¯s such a little dumpling. Who¡¯s going to be a toy for whom? Hmph.¡¯

    ¡­

    ¡°Young Master, the young master of the Xia family, Xia Yu, is Miss Xia¡¯s half-brother. Miss Xia brought him back to the apartment. I heard that she wants him to stay there.¡±

    Jun Shiling had just finished an acquisition meeting and returned to his office when Lin Jing approached him.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t have much of an impression of the Xia family, so he answered calmly. He had nned to give her the house when they got divorced anyway. It was her own freedom to decide who could move in.

    ¡°Pay close attention to Jun Yin.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Lin Jing was about to leave when Jun Shiling suddenly stopped him.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Jun Shiling put down the pen he was signing with. ¡°How old is Xia Yu?¡±

    ¡°Based on the checks, Xia Yu just turned 18.¡±

    Hearing Lin Jing¡¯s words, Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows and frowned, but didn¡¯t say anything in the end.

    ¡°You go down first.¡±

    Lin Jing nced at Jun Shiling, who hadn¡¯t even blinked at the billion-dor acquisition just now. He was actually frowning? An unknown light shed in his eyes behind his gold spectacled frame.

    After pondering for half a second, Lin Jing said decisively, ¡°I heard that Miss Xia is going to the filming set tomorrow. I¡¯m afraid she doesn¡¯t have time to take care of Little Master. Young Master, do you want to bring Little Master back to the manor to take care of him?¡±

    Upon hearing Lin Jing¡¯s words, Jun Shiling stayed silent for a while before he finally spoke.

    ¡°Prepare the car.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    The expressionless Lin Jing turned around, then showed a look of ¡®as I thought¡¯.

    They had just finished dinner. Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa with Xiao Bao watching cartoons, while Xia Yu was watching them with his legs crossed, speechless.

    It was one thing for that three-year-old little dumpling to enjoy watching such childish cartoons, but what was wrong with that woman who was smiling so widely and being so engrossed in it?

    ¡°Uncle, do you think the big tiger took the vige chief away?¡±

    ¡°Obviously not. Didn¡¯t you see the footprint just now? It was clearly a wolf¡¯s footprint.¡±

    Xia Yu was stillining about the little dumpling a second ago, but in the next second, he began to exin everything.

    The doorbell rang, but Xiao Bao and Xia Yu, who were immersed in the cartoon, did not notice.

    Xia Wanyuan got up to open the door and suddenly met a pair of ink-ck eyes. Jun Shiling was tall and slender, but he emitted an indifferent vibe.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡±

    Her voice was as clear as a spring. It was the first time Xia Wanyuan had called him by his name. For some reason, Jun Shiling found it pleasant.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and then looked into the house. Behind the flowers, the clear voice of a youth and Xiao Bao¡¯s childishughter could be heard.

    ¡°Since you¡¯re going to the film set tomorrow, I¡¯ll bring Xiao Bao back,¡± Jun Shiling said calmly.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Only then did Xia Wanyuan remember that she had forgotten about Jun Shiling. If she was going to the set, it was only right for her to bring the child back to his biological father.

    With that, Xia Wanyuan stepped aside and gestured for Jun Shiling to enter.

    A bright young man and Xiao Bao were together on the sofa. Xiao Bao was so amused by his interesting uncle that he only noticed Jun Shiling when he walked in front of him.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao stoppedughing and looked at Jun Shiling timidly.

    It was the first time Xia Yu had seen Jun Shiling. He wouldn¡¯t deny that he was intimidated by the man in front of him and fell silent for a moment. However, when he turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan who was behind Jun Shiling, he forced himself to straighten his back.

    Sensing Xiao Bao¡¯s fear of him, and noticing how theughter in the room quieted down because of his arrival, Jun Shiling looked down.

    ¡°Your mother is going to the film set tomorrow. I¡¯m here to take you back to the manor.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Daddy. Can I still live with Mommy when shees back?¡±

    ¡°About this¡­¡± Jun Shiling looked behind him. ¡°Let¡¯s see if she¡¯s willing to bring you back.¡±

    Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan expectantly, with his round eyes full of attachment.

    ¡°Mommy will pick you up as soon as I finish my work.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and winked at Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao was finally satisfied. However, his expression turned dark when he suddenly remembered that he wouldn¡¯t be able to see his uncle if he went back to the manor. ¡°Then I won¡¯t be able to y with Uncle.¡±

    Jun Shiling then shifted his gaze to Xia Yu, who was staring at him warily. His deep gaze made Xia Yu¡¯s heart turn cold with just a nce.

    Jun Shiling was about to say that he would send Xia Yu back to the Xia family when Xia Wanyuan stepped forward unexpectedly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that among all the young talents, Young Master Jun is the most outstanding one. If Xia Yu is lucky enough to study under Young Master Jun for some time, it would be more useful to him than him studying ten years in university.¡±

    As he listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯spliments, Jun Shiling, who had been looked up to by countless people since he was young, suddenly felt his heart stir.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with her eyes swirling. ¡°Besides, Xiao Bao wants his uncle to apany him. I wonder if Young Master Jun can let Xia Yu stay with him for a while?¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard Xia Wanyuan. He ran over and grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s thigh, looking at him expectantly.

    The adult had flickering eyes, while the child had an innocent and naive look. Jun Shiling clenched his fists.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go back together.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled gratefully at Jun Shiling, revealing half of her dimples. Thump. The sight made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skip a beat.

    Xia Yu was too mischievous. Xia Wanyuan felt that there were too few people who could subdue Xia Yu. After much thought, there was no one in Beijing more suitable than Jun Shiling.

    Besides, what she said just now was sincere. Jun Shiling was indeed the most outstanding person she had ever seen in both her lives. It was not a loss for Xia Yu to follow Jun Shiling to learn.

    Just like that, the opinions of the male in question were ignored.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s king-like face, Xia Yu¡¯s heart raced a million miles an hour.

    ¡®Ahhhhhhhhhh, I¡¯m still too young to die!!!!!¡¯

    However, no one cared about Xia Yu¡¯s resistance.

    ¡°Jun Yin wille back with me tonight, he still has school tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling looked unhappily at Xiao Bao, who was clinging onto Xia Wanyuan.

    Knowing that she would be leaving very early tomorrow, Xia Wanyuan nodded in agreement.

    ¡°But I want to sleep with Mommy.¡± Upon knowing that he was going to be separated from Xia Wanyuan, tears slowly welled up in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes. He couldn¡¯t bear to part with Mommy. A few anguished sobs burst out of his trembling lips.

    Xia Yu looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s crying face and gloated inwardly.?<i>¡®That little devil is going to be punished by his father.¡¯</i>

    ¡°Stop fooling around. You have school tomorrow. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Jun Shiling walked up and held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Xia Yu expressionlessly. ¡°You too.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s gloating expression changed immediately. ¡°I¡­ Can¡¯t I go tomorrow?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exposed legs, which were as fair as an exquisite piece of jade, and felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

    ¡°Either you leave now or you don¡¯t go at all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know why Jun Shiling was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Xia Yu.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, go with him and help take care of Xiao Bao. I have to go out very early tomorrow.¡±

    Whatever struggles he had were futile. In the end, Jun Shiling held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and left the apartment with Xia Yu, whose face was as wrinkled as a bun.

    The boisterous house suddenly quieted down. Xia Wanyuan sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea as she looked out the window. The modern city was unlike the ancient times where everywhere would be closed once night fell. At night, the modern city lit up with countless neon lights, giving it a unique charm.

    As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Xia Wanyuan began to miss the little dumpling that had always clung to her. She wondered if they had arrived safely.

    At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a shing ck profile picture with a few stars on it.

    The caller ID disyed one word, ¡°Jun¡±.

    Before Xiao Bao left, he was especially reluctant to part with Xia Wanyuan, so she had promised him a video call to coax him to sleep. It seemed that they had reached home safely.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled, put down the cup in her hand, and pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Mommy!¡±

    A white and cuddly dumpling squeezed into the screen.

    ¡°Good boy. Have you showered?¡± Xia Wanyuan gently responded.

    ¡°Yes, Mommy. The auntie at home helped me take a bath. I smell so good now. Smell me!¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao put his arm in front of the phone.

    ¡°Yes, you smell good.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up at the child¡¯s adorable actions.

    Beside Xiao Bao sat Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents on hisputer seriously. However, although Xiao Bao had been chatting with Xia Wanyuan for almost fifteen minutes, he was still on the first page.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to sleep. You have to wake up early for school tomorrow.¡±

    A low and attractive male voice could be heard. Xia Wanyuan, who had wanted to talk to Xiao Bao for a while more, realized that it was already veryte.

    ¡°Daddy, can I sleep with you? I¡¯m afraid of the little monsters.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been watching Ultraman with Xiao Bao those few days, and Xiao Bao needed Xia Wanyuan to apany him to sleep at night as he was afraid that the little monsters would catch him and take him away while he was asleep.

    Jun Shiling, who had never been close to anyone, wanted to reprimand him, but when he looked down and saw the pair of wet eyes that resembled his own, he finally allowed it.

    ¡°Mommy, the song you sang yesterday was really nice. I want to hear it today too.¡±

    After being thrown onto the bed and stuffed under the nket by Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao still held on to his phone to speak with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, then lie down and put your phone aside. Mommy will sing. Be good and sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had enjoyed listening to popr songs recently. The melody was easy to remember and the lyrics were catchy. Therefore, when she coaxed Jun Yin to sleep, she often hummed songs that she had just learned.

    ¡°Mmm!¡± Xiao Bao obediently ced his phone by his pillow and closed his eyes.

    Jun Shiling red at him silently. He was so uncooperative when he was showering just now, unlike now. It was a pity that Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were closed and he did not notice Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear singing voice came through the phone. Her voice was like a clear pool of water striking a spring as if it was the only sound that could seep into the depths of one¡¯s heart in this quiet night.

    Slowly, Xiao Bao¡¯s breathing became calmer, and the singing on the phone became softer gradually. Xia Wanyuan had slowly fallen asleep too.

    Jun Shiling, who had been sitting quietly by the bed for a long time, gently took the phone from the pillow when he heard no sound from the phone anymore.

    All that was left in the image was a clean and exquisite side profile. Her hair was scattered messily on the pillow. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long eyshes were like a small arc fan, casting a shadow on her lower eyelids.

    Jun Shiling was dazzled. He looked at her quietly for a while, then reached out to the phone and hung up the call.

    The little dumpling curled up on the bed unconsciously, as though he was looking for someone to lean on. Jun Shiling, who was about to continue working overtime, lifted the nket and fell asleep beside Xiao Bao.

    Sensing a source of warmth, Xiao Bao¡¯s arms and legs wrapped around him.

    It took him by surprise. Jun Shiling, who had never been so close to anyone before, froze for a moment. After a while, he reached out and hugged the soft little dumpling who was not even half his height.

    The man¡¯s heart swelled with warmth as he took in the warm, milky scent emanating from the little dumpling¡¯s body. That was the natural bond that came with being rted by blood.

    The night finally quieted down.

    ¡­

    They were supposed to meet at the airport at half-past eight in the morning. However, considering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s usualzy habits, she probably wouldn¡¯te until nine o¡¯clock. Hence, Chen Yun ate leisurely before arriving at the airport.

    Unexpectedly, the moment he entered the VIP room, he saw Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly on a chair with sunsses on, drinking tea.

    She was wearing a white floral print shirt and a pair of white tight-fitting pants that made her legs look as slender as a pair of bamboo chopsticks. She also wore a pink windbreaker with long flower petals sleeves and a long belt around her waist, which made her look like a budding flower.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan was beautiful and she had always liked bold colors and a mboyant style. After a long time, he had already gotten used to her style.

    However, the current Xia Wanyuan, although dressed in such a rtively monotonous color, was as delicate and moving as a lotus in the rain, leaving one with an endless aftertaste.

    ¡°Hey, um, you¡¯re here so early?¡± He felt a bit guilty. In addition, he was surprised by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden change in style. Chen Yun approached her with some degree of embarrassment.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree to meet at half-past eight?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± He didn¡¯t know what to say.

    ¡°It¡¯s about time, let¡¯s go and check-in.¡±

    Until they had boarded the ne, Xia Wanyuan was actually confused. After all, that was her first time going through ticket inspection and security checks. Fortunately, because the original owner of the body waszy in the past, Chen Yun had to handle many things for her. Hence, no ws were seen.

    The ne gradually rose into the sky. Xia Wanyuan recovered from her dizziness and looked outside, only to find that she was already in the clouds.

    Large clouds were piled outside the window like cotton candy. When she was still a little princess, she often asked her mother what was above the clouds. Her mother told her that it was a ce for immortals to live.

    Looking at the clouds outside the window now, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.

    For the entire duration of the flight, until they got off the ne, got on the car, and entered the production team, Xia Wanyuan behaved calmly. One could even say that she had a sense of propriety. The strange quietness contrasted greatly with her usual behavior and simply made Chen Yun ufortable.

    But Chen Yun had to admit that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current state was much more delightful than before.

    ¡°Everyone has worked hard. This is the afternoon tea I ordered for everyone. Eat it before you work.¡± Ruan Yingyu smiled warmly as she distributed the cake to the crew.

    Looking at Ruan Yingyu, who was surrounded and fawned over by the crowd in the distance, Chen Yun looked resentfully at Xia Wanyuan, who was reading her script calmly.

    ¡°Should we send something to the crew too?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. My reputation is so bad anyway, so others will only think that I¡¯m imitating others and making a fool of myself if I send something over now. There¡¯s no need to rush to find trouble.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to say something correct, let alone something so insightful. With that, Chen Yun gave up on the idea of sending gifts, but he still couldn¡¯t stand Ruan Yingyu. ¡°We are going to be suppressed by her forever.¡±

    ¡°As long as I act well, no one will care about that cake anymore.¡± Showing actual skills was always the best way to shut people up.

    After reading the script, Xia Wanyuan felt that acting wasn¡¯t difficult. Especially given that she was someone who had spent years trudging through the political quagmire of troubled times.

    During that famous meeting where she was able to gain something without risking anything of her own, she dealt with mass forces, faced different people, disyed different personalities, and finally obtained the approval of the allied forces, taking down that critical city in one swoop.

    Those wily old foxes all knew how to act. Moreover, they were truly ruthless.

    And it was reality.

    ?????

    Chen Yun stood at the side with a face full of question marks.?<i>¡®My dear Miss, are you really standing here talking about acting skills? If you had even the slightest bit of ability, you wouldn¡¯t be criticized by the entire inte.¡¯</i>

    He felt a little hopeless. It seemed that Xia Wanyuan had not be normal, but had be even more neurotic. Everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

    ¡°Haha, I haven¡¯t seen you in a while. It seems that you¡¯re getting more and more confident.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down the script and ignored Chen Yun¡¯s ridicule. Instead, she got up and went to the dressing room to change.

    ¡°Xiao Ruan, your performance just now wasn¡¯t bad. You got into character very quickly. It¡¯s just that you need to put in a little more effort to show Tian Ying Er¡¯s naivety.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand. Thank you, Director. I will continue to work hard.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu, who was wearing a long white dress, humbly thanked the director and crew. Her humble attitude made Director Yang nod in approval. In the entertainment industry, there weren¡¯t many people with such good acting skills and modesty like her.

    Especially when the second female lead of the production team was clearly a negative example. Director Yang¡¯s head hurt when he thought of the rich character characteristics of the Heavenly Spirit Princess. In the future, if he had the means and money, he would definitely boycott the act of bringing funds into the production team!

    Not only did the director have all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but the other members of the production team were also whispering in private.

    ¡°Sister Ruan is indeed a good person. It¡¯s also great that she has good acting skills.¡±

    ¡°Of course, she¡¯s definitely better than a fool like Xia Wanyuan. I think the Xia family is indeed bankrupt, look how low-key Xia Wanyuan is today.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I almost didn¡¯t recognize her when she entered the production team just now. She was too quiet.¡±

    ¡°Well, she¡¯s already been demoted from the first female lead to the second female lead. With her acting skills, I think it¡¯s hard for her to even be an extra.¡±

    The cameraman was still babbling when he realized that his friend did not respond to him at all. Even the people around him had quietened down. He stopped talking in confusion and followed his partner¡¯s gaze. Instantly, he was amazed by what he saw.

    The woman in question was wearing a light purple gown with a dark-colored woven brocade belt that wrapped around her slender waist. In her hand was antern with a jade rabbit drawn on it.

    Due to the need for the role, she wore a veil over her face, making her eyes look even more exquisite and lovely, like the most beautiful ink painting in the misty rain in Jiangnan.

    Everyone was stunned for a long time, and they did not realize who it was until the stylist noticed that the clothes belonged to the Heavenly Spirit Princess. Holy sh*t! To think that she was so good at choosing clothes!

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan?!!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but call out. Only then did everyone realize that this stunning woman was the very person they had been scolding for a long time.

    ¡°Director, I¡¯m ready.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rosy lips parted slightly. Her clear voice was like a stone that finally broke the silence.

    Chen Yun, on the other hand, had a calm expression. After all, he knew about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty. What he was worried about were Xia Wanyuan¡¯s idiotic acting skills. Forget it, it was fine if she could be beautiful. At the very least, she could receive less scolding. Chen Yun had already given up.

    At that moment, Director Yang was the most delighted. As a director, he naturally had the most sensitive sense about the portrayal of a character. Xia Wanyuan made him truly understand what the original number one beauty, the Heavenly Spirit Princess, looked like.

    But thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills, Director Yang sighed. Forget it, he would just take more shots of her face and not shoot too many details which would only exemplify her bad acting skills.

    ¡°Alright, all teams, get ready for the second scene!¡± Director Yang shouted through the loudspeaker and everyone recovered from their shock.

    ¡°Damn, isn¡¯t she too beautiful!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face is simply too beautiful.¡±

    That day, they were filming the scene where the Heavenly Spirit Princess and the male lead, Lin Xiao, met at the Lantern Festival.

    In the original novel, the Heavenly Spirit Princess, who had been trapped in the pce since she was young, snuck out of the pce during antern festival. However, someone stole her purse when she was enjoying thentern show.

    During the chase, the male protagonist acted bravely for a just cause, causing her to fall in love at first sight. It was this scene that eventually led to the series of disputester on.

    ¡°Okay! Gaffer, cameraman, take note. Action!¡±

    At the director¡¯smand, pedestrians started to move about on the streets that were filled with all kinds of colorfulnterns. The camera slowly zoomed in, and a light purple figure entered the camera.

    That was the first time the little princess had left the pce. She was shocked by themotion outside, so she looked around curiously at everything that she had never seen before.

    Xia Wanyuan recalled the first time she had left the pce. She was somewhat afraid, but also somewhat restless. Like a child, she examined all the things in the world that she had nevere into contact with.

    ¡°Quick, quick, pull the camera in and take a shot of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes!¡±

    The camera that had been pulled far away was now focused on that pair of butterfly-like eyes.

    With a veil covering her face, the camera could not catch her expression, so she could only rely on her eyes to show her current character¡¯s mentality.

    Meanwhile, the crew could see the innocence in those eyes. They were an entrancingbination©` hazy, curious, happy, and probing at the same time. The sadness of being trapped in the pce for a long time, and how she could only see the vast outside world asionally could be seen and felt from her eyes alone.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Chen Yun¡¯s eyes were about to pop out. Was this Xia Wanyuan?! Her acting skills had probably been remade ten thousand times in the Grand Supreme Elder¡¯s furnace!

    The scene changed.

    A sneaky thief reached Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. Taking advantage of the crowd, he quietly took the purse from the little princess.

    The little princess, who was about to take out her money to buy a hairpin, grasped at her robe but was unable to locate her purse. She suddenly looked up and saw the thief running away. Fear and grievance shed across her eyes. Finally, she shouted, ¡°Thief! Catch the thief!¡±

    Everyone watching from outside the scene saw this helpless and wronged gaze and wished they could go up and beat the thief up.

    At this moment, the male protagonist, Lin Xiao, appeared on the scene. He was initially waiting on the tree to look at the stars, but he noticed the movement beneath his feet. Upon seeing the little girl being bullied, displeasure shed in his eyes, and he leaped off the tree.

    With a beautiful kick, he easily subdued the scoundrel.

    ¡°Here, your purse.¡±

    The actor ying Lin Xiao was the famous actor, Qin Wu. Under the lights, he looked tall and heroic. The distinct eyebrows and gentle smile on his face made the little princess panic.

    A hint of shyness, joy, and gratitude could be seen in her sparkling eyes.

    ¡°Thank you.¡±

    As the little princess reached out for the purse, she did not dare to raise her head to look at that smiling gaze.

    At that moment, a gentle breeze blew past. The veil that had been loosened while she chased the thief was now blown away by the wind.

    ¡°Quick, get a close-up!¡± Director Yang was so excited that his hands were clenched tightly as he babbled in anxiety.

    The camera zoomed in for the close-up.

    The veil on her face was blown away. The beauty in front of him had jade-like brows and skin that was as far as the snow. Her waist was like a bundle of silk and her teeth were like pearls. Lin Xiao¡¯s eyes shed with amazement, but he already had a younger sister whom he grew up with. Hence, his eyes shed with astonishment and a hint of a struggle before finally returning to their original calm.

    Sensing that her veil had fallen off, the little princess lifted her head in a panic and looked at the knight in front of her. Was that awe in his eyes? Covering her flushed cheeks, the little princess bowed down in embarrassment to try to hide the hint of happiness in her eyes. In the end, she could not stop the heat emanating from her reddening earlobes.

    ¡°Great! This is great! So great! Cut! This scene is over!¡±

    Director Yang repeatedly praised her three times, naturally indicating that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scene had beenpleted wlessly. All the staff present had watched her act and had no words to spare. Who would dare speak ill of her again? Even the way they looked at Xia Wanyuan had changed.

    After the director shouted ¡°Cut!¡±, Xia Wanyuan returned to her normal state. She no longer had the look of a girl who had just seen her first love.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Qin Wu was speechless at how quickly Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression had changed.

    He cast a probing nce at Xia Wanyuan. Back then, he had almost rejected this script when he heard that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were terrible. After all, he did not want to waste time on someone with no talent who was merely a flower vase.

    From the looks of it now, the rumors could not be trusted. If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s immediate change of expression, he would have really thought that Xia Wanyuan liked him with how shy and lovable she had looked only seconds ago.

    Ruan Yingyu, who had juste out after changing her clothes, happened to see the moment Xia Wanyuan¡¯s veil fell. That perfect moment of shyness, joy, and panic hurt her like a knife stabbing into her eyes.

    Seeing the director praise her repeatedly and the other staff exim in admiration, Ruan Yingyu clenched her fists under her long sleeves, with jealousy shing in her eyes. How could this be? How could Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills be so good?!

    ¡°Xiao Zhang,e here.¡± Ruan Yingyu called her manager over and whispered into his ear.

    ¡­

    In Beijing.

    Xia Yu, who was already used to sleepingte and waking up in the afternoon, was woken up at eight o¡¯clock in the morning.

    With panda eyes, he ate breakfast together with Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling. He was so sleepy that his eyelids twitched, but he didn¡¯t dare to y any tricks in front of Jun Shiling.

    After asking the chauffeur to send Xiao Bao to kindergarten, Jun Shiling gave Xia Yu a cold nce.

    ¡°Come with me.¡±

    ¡°Huh?! Oh.¡± Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling with a racing heart. He even had difficulty breathing.

    ¡®I shouldn¡¯t have been tricked by that woman¡¯s sugar-coated words! Boohoo! Someone save me! That person is as scary as the King Of Hell!¡¯ Although Xia Yu looked calm on the outside, he was actually bitter on the inside.

    Like that, Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling all the way to the Jun Corporation. The efficiency of thepany¡¯s staff and atmosphere matched the high standards of the corporation.

    Seeing how thepany operated in an orderly manner and how the employees respected Jun Shiling from the bottom of their hearts, Xia Yu looked at Jun Shiling in admiration. This person didn¡¯t look much older than him, yet he could control such arge corporation.

    In front of an iron-fisted person like Jun Shiling, for the first time, Young Master Xia felt like he was still a child. He felt a little defeated.

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Lin Jing was already waiting outside the CEO¡¯s office on the 100th floor.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s finish the proposal we didn¡¯t finishst night.¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks and looked at Xia Yu. ¡°Arrange a seat for him in the finance department.¡±

    As the leader of the Jun Corporation and the one who had supreme power, he was extremely scrupulous in separating public from private interests and only appointed talents on their merit. This was also the reason that the Jun Corporation was getting stronger.

    It was the first time he had nted connections in the corporation. Lin Jing looked at Xia Yu¡¯s denim jacket and ripped pants, as well as his innocent eyes. He raised his eyebrows. This Xia Yu didn¡¯t seem like a reliable person.

    However, Special Assistant Lin was indeed a special assistant. He took only 0.01 seconds to react and brought Xia Yu to the finance department with his usual facial expression.

    ¡°My name is Lin Jing, I¡¯m the special assistant here. What¡¯s your name, sir?¡± Lin Jing revealed a standard but warm and friendly smile.

    ¡°Hello, hello. My name is Xia Yu.¡± Xia Yu was still processing the fact that he was going to enter the finance department of the Jun Corporation.

    ¡®What happened? Why am I working here? This shouldn¡¯t be. I don¡¯t know anything about finance!¡¯

    A strange look shed across Lin Jing¡¯s eyes. ¡®Xia Yu? As in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother?¡¯

    ¡°So it¡¯s Miss Xia¡¯s younger brother.¡± Lin Jing pushed his golden-framed spectacles. He immediately understood something.

    It was rare for the brainless Xia Yu to have noticed what Lin Jing had addressed Xia Wanyuan. ¡®He didn¡¯t even address her as Madam, it seems like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status is really miserable.¡¯

    ¡°Let me ask you something.¡± Xia Yu leaned towards Lin Jing and lowered his voice.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Does Xia Wanyuan owe Jun Shiling a lot of money? Does she want me to help pay him back by working for him?¡±

    Lin Jing had expected a few situations, including how Xia Yu might inquire more about the Jun Corporation, how he might try to get close to him, the special assistant, and how he might try to find out more about Jun Shiling¡¯s secrets. However, he had never expected this question.

    ¡°Ha, you must be joking, Mr Xia.¡± Lin Jing¡¯s eyes were filled with genuine amusement. ¡°Since Miss Xia entrusted you to Young Master, he must have his own considerations since he arranged for you to be assigned to the finance department.¡±

    After leading Xia Yu to the entrance of the finance department, Lin Jing left. Soon after, he sent a message to the manager of the finance department and instructed him to arrange a simple job for Xia Yu. He also wanted him to keep Xia Yu¡¯s background a secret.

    When Lin Jing returned, he reported Xia Yu¡¯s situation to Jun Shiling and received a nod of approval in return. Other than being able to handle Jun Shiling¡¯s matters to the best of his ability, the reason Lin Jing was able to be the special assistant of the Jun Corporation was also because he could read between the lines.

    The people in the finance department, who were engrossed in their work, were summoned by the leader to wee an exquisitely handsome ¡°connection¡± who was wearing fashionable clothing from head to toe.

    As they did not know how ¡°connected¡± this person was and no one knew what was going on, they treated Xia Yu politely and distanced themselves from him.

    Although confused, Xia Yu worked as instructed for the entire day.

    ¡­

    Meanwhile on Weibo, a marketing ount with millions of fans received news from an anonymous sub-ount.

    Almost immediately, he quickly wrote a post and posted it on Weibo. Soon, the trending topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lifeless gaze¡± gradually climbed to the top of the search rankings.

    Netizens went through the trending search list as usual and quickly browsed through it. The name ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡± attracted everyone¡¯s interest. After all, wherever she was, there would be gossip involved.

    As expected, the trending topic did not disappoint anyone. A marketing ount named ¡°The Husky In The Industry¡± posted a series of images.

    In the picture, the film crew staff were adjusting the machine diligently while the other actors were reading the script. In contrast, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be staring at the camera in a daze. There were more than a dozen pictures and from all different angles. Her dull eyes made both the fans of the novel and passersby furious.

    [As expected, what kind of acting skills are those? Just look at how she¡¯s staring into space. What the heck is she even doing?]

    [AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Return me my beautiful Heavenly Spirit Princess!! The princess isn¡¯t blind! I¡¯m so pissed off!]

    [How can such a person be in the entertainment industry? Capitalism really gives one the chance to do whatever they want.]

    [Rubbish, seeing her sanpaku eyes that are so dull, I won¡¯t watch this drama no matter how pretty her face is! I will be a dog if I contribute to the viewership ratings of such trash!]

    The huge crowd of novel fans, the passersby who just wanted to watch the fun, and the fans of other celebrities who had their resources snatched away by Xia Wanyuan instantly gathered and shared the photos. This trending topic very quickly climbed to second ce on the trending list.

    Apart from the criticism directed at Xia Wanyuan on the hot searches, most people were feeling sorry for Ruan Yingyu and Qin Wu in thements section below.

    [The thought of a gentle person like Xiao Ruan acting with such a person makes my heart ache.]

    [When Mommy is rich, I must invest in Xiao Ruan to film a movie she likes and not bow down to capitalism!]

    ¡­

    Paired with thosements were many exquisite and edited photos of Ruan Yuying. In the photos, she looked gentle, calm and amiable, which formed a direct contrast with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dull and lifeless expression.

    In an instant, Xia Wanyuan gained a lot of anti-fans, while Ruan Yingyu gained arge number of fans.

    ¡°Look, this must have been leaked by the crew. Maybe Ruan Yingyu asked someone to leak it!¡±

    Ever since he watched the scene Xia Wanyuan had filmed in the afternoon, Chen Yun had finally seen some hope for Xia Wanyuan. As long as her performance in the afternoon wasn¡¯t temporary and if she could maintain this standard in the future, Chen Yun could foresee that this drama would be Xia Wanyuan¡¯seback.

    Xia Wanyuan was speechless as she looked at the pictures on Weibo. She was indeed looking at those equipment machines, but she was not subconsciously spacing out. Instead, she was really curious about how those cold, ck machines recorded the images of the characters. Please forgive her, this old antique, for her intense curiosity.

    ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that thepany doesn¡¯t give us any PR fees. We can only let them do as they wish.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Public opinion had and always would be the easiest to topple. At this moment, there were crowds of people who wanted to expel her from the entertainment industry, but in the future, perhaps they would be her most fanatical fans.

    ¡°Don¡¯t take it to heart. It¡¯s gettingte, so you should rest early and maintain your condition tomorrow.¡± Chen Yunforted Xia Wanyuan, afraid that she would be angered by thements online.

    What he was most worried about now was that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting performance in the afternoon was only a fluke. He even guessed that Xia Wanyuan could only act so well because she had a crush on Qin Wu. But looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, it did not seem like it.

    ¡®God bless her, let Xia Wanyuan trulye to her senses.¡¯

    Chen Yun prayed silently in his heart.

    After Chen Yun left, Xia Wanyuan returned to her room. Once she removed her makeup, she took a shower before settling down on the bed. Thinking that Xiao Bao should be on the bed by then, she found the ck starry sky profile picture from her WeChat and pressed the video call button.

    Jun Shiling had just finished his work for the day and returned to the manor. He massaged his temples tiredly, loosened his tie, and sat on the sofa.

    ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ll bring you a cup of coffee.¡± The grizzled Uncle Wang looked at Jun Shiling, who he had watched grow up, with some heartache.

    ¡°No need. Where¡¯s Jun Yin?¡±

    ¡°Little Master has already washed up and was just taken to the bedroom.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Uncle Wang, you should go and rest. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    Uncle Wang had just turned around to take a step when he heard Jun Shiling¡¯s private phone ringing.

    Within moments, Jun Shiling pressed the answer button and a woman¡¯s clear voice sounded from the phone.

    Uncle Wang turned around in shock. He had forgotten that Jun Shiling hated being spied on. When he met Jun Shiling¡¯s displeased gaze, he hurriedly turned around and walked away, but the shock in his heart did not subside for a long time.

    When the video call connected, Jun Shiling¡¯s sculpture-like face appeared on the screen. His handsome features caught Xia Wanyuan off guard and stunned her for a moment.

    ¡°Good evening?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled politely at Jun Shiling. Her beautiful dimples cast a little shadow under the light, and her freshly blown hair fell messily over her jade-white shoulders.

    ¡°Er, Jun Yin is in the bedroom. I¡¯ll pass the phone to him.¡± Jun Shiling was expressionless.

    ¡°Okay, thank you. Xia Yu didn¡¯t cause any trouble, did he?¡± Jun Shiling walked upstairs with his phone, but the camera was still facing him.

    Feeling a little awkward, Xia Wanyuan asked about Xia Yu¡¯s situation, even though she felt that Xia Yu wouldn¡¯t be able to make any trouble under Jun Shiling¡¯s suppression.

    ¡°Everything has worked out well.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say. The video fell silent, except for the sound of Jun Shiling¡¯s slippers going up the stairs.

    ¡°Daddy!¡± Xiao Bao was ying with the big white teddy bear he had just bought. When he saw Jun Shiling walk in, his eyes curved up. Compared to his previous fear, he was much closer to Jun Shiling now.

    ¡°Mm.¡± The coldness of Jun Shiling dissipated as he handed the phone to Xiao Bao and pursed his lips.

    ¡°It¡¯s your mother.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 23: The Destruction Of A Nation</h4>

    ¡°Mommy!¡±

    When he heard that his mommy had called, Xiao Bao¡¯s bright eyes widened and sparkled like the sun on a summer day. He crawled out of the nket and reached out to receive the phone.

    ¡°Go back in the nkets, don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling tucked Xiao Bao under the nket, leaving only his furry head and one small hand outside. Upon seeing the soft and cuddly dumpling, Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    Soon after, Xiao Bao happily shared with Xia Wanyuan the fresh news in the kindergarten today,pletely forgetting about his father¡¯s existence. Having been forgotten so quickly, Jun Shiling nced at his son and went to wash up in the bathroom.

    Half an hourter, when Jun Shiling came out of the bathroom, the room was already quiet.

    Jun Shiling switched the lights in the room to sleep mode. He took the phone from Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and stuffed his hand under the nket.

    When he flipped open his cell phone, he saw that the video call had already ended. Looking at the bright smiling face beside the sunflower in the profile picture, Jun Shiling felt strangely empty.

    Subconsciously, he clicked into her profile picture and clicked on her profile feed. She had deleted all her posts from a month ago, as if she wanted to end things with the past.

    There were only two posts in her empty WeChat feed. One of them was a photo of a sausage, egg waffle, and milk tea. The caption in the post was ¡®New Experience¡¯.

    The most recent post was actually a photo of the alley that was illuminated by the sunlight, taken thest time they visited Grandpa.

    When he saw the alley, Jun Shiling suddenly thought of the calligraphy piece. Getting up, he took the box out and looked down at the calligraphy piece before cing it on the bedside table.

    The next day, when they were about to leave, Jun Shiling instructed Uncle Wang to frame it up.

    ¡­

    The cast and crew usually liked surfing the inte in their free time, so they all saw the hot searches online.

    Many people who did not have any conflicts of interest with Xia Wanyuan felt it was incredibly unfair for her when they saw the criticism online. Her performance yesterday was indeed not bad. Saying that her gaze was dull was too much of a false usation.

    But Xia Wanyuan herself did not feel anything. There were so many opinions online, as long as she did not mind, what harm could they cause? The current Xia Wanyuan had the worst business resources. In any case, since she had already hit rock bottom, it could not fall any further.

    The first scene to be filmed was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. The country that the Heavenly Spirit Princess lived in was being destroyed, and she was forced to leave the Imperial Pce and infiltrate themoners and wait for an opportunity to avenge her parents.

    The innocent and kind little princess that Xia Wanyuan had portrayed yesterday was indeed not bad, but since Xia Wanyuan herself was used to living like a princess, it was not difficult to show the innocence and naivety in her eyes.

    However, the dynasty in which the Heavenly Spirit Princess lived had copsed in a single night, and both her parents died in battle while protecting their country. It was no surprise that Director Yang was a little worried about her acting skills for such a huge emotional scene, but he had no choice but to put a square peg into a round hole.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had also changed her clothes. Dressed in a bright red satin pce gown, the feet of the gown was adorned with small ss pearls as it fell to the ground. The red gown was embroidered withrge golden-red peonies, with fine silver threads that drew out an exquisite outline, making her look glorious and noble. This scene was a farewell scene in the pce hall, so the Heavenly Spirit Princess had to wear the traditional princess gown.

    As Xia Wanyuan put on the princess outfit that was so simr to the one she wore in her previous life, her heart was filled with emotions.

    Once again, all those present in the production team were impressed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    ¡°Xiao Liu, this dress is not bad. Your ability to pick clothes has improved recently.¡± Director Yang nodded at the stylist in approval.

    The stylistughed on the surface, but in reality, she was cursing in her heart. ¡®In the previous drama, you called me gaudy when I used this outfit!¡¯

    ¡°Alright, everyone. Get ready. Action!¡±

    Director Yang gave the order and the various departments leaped into action.

    Inside the dark pce, the Heavenly Spirit Princess was sitting on a chair while her maids were helping style her for the day. At this moment, the little princess was still the treasure that her father and mother doted on. Her eyes were filled with innocence. It was unknown what she was thinking, but her cheeks turned pink as shyness shed across her eyes.

    Suddenly, the pce doors were pushed open. ¡°Princess! This is bad! The traitor has attacked the city gates! The Empress has sent someone to escort you out of the pce!¡±

    The servant girl¡¯s words broke the peace in the pce and the golden hairpin fell to the ground.

    ¡°Close-up! Zoom in!¡± Director Yangmanded excitedly.

    The camera zoomed in. The naive little princess was stunned for a moment. It was as if she was trying to cushion the servant girl¡¯s words in her mind. In an instant, confusion, worry, and shock filled the eyes of the Heavenly Spirit Princess. Ignoring the servant girl¡¯s obstruction, the Heavenly Spirit Princess dashed out and ran towards the main hall.

    Chaos filled the pce as people were scrambling about wherever she looked.

    Looking at the servants who had scattered around, Xia Wanyuan was reminded of the day her country had been destroyed. That day, the pce had burst into mes that soared into the sky. She had panicked and been at a loss as she watched the people escape.

    Those who raised flowers for her, those who yed with her, those who served her meals, those who yed with her, all of them ignored her and lost themselves in the mad panic of needing to escape.

    She was at a loss.

    Tears streamed down her face. It felt like she was unconsciously running forward, she could see everything but at the same time, she could do nothing at all.

    She was helpless.

    When she finally reached the steps in front of the main hall, the little princess raised her head. On the tall steps, she watched as the leader of the rebellion stabbed through her father¡¯s chest with a sword.

    Watched as his heart was pierced.

    Watched his convulsing body copse to the ground.

    The little princess¡¯s eyes widened as she tookrge strides forward. However, Lin Xiao, who was behind her, stopped her and covered her mouth. Only her eyes were looking at the bloody scene in front of her. She looked at her parents, and they kept shaking their heads, signaling her not toe out.

    Xia Wanyuan thought of the time when the Xia Dynasty was destroyed. She had stood in the distance, looking at the pce full of bones. The towering gate where she had flown her kite, the garden where she had caught dragonflies, and the pond where she had fished, everywhere was filled with the corpses of people she was familiar with.

    At that time, she covered her younger siblings¡¯ eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears as watched the tragedy unfold before her eyes in silence.

    An almost tangible pain enveloped the Heavenly Spirit Princess. In her tear-filled eyes, the pain of losing her parents, the grief and indignation of losing her country, all turned into mes of hatred that burned with scorching radiance.

    Everyone outside the camera was infected by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s emotions. It was as if they had truly been brought to the scene of a fallen country. The overwhelming pain and hatred pressed down on everyone like a mountain.

    Qin Wu, who was closest to Xia Wanyuan, felt the intensity of her emotions the most. The woman in his arms who was silently weeping, whose eyes were filled with pain, helplessness, and hatred, caused his heart to ache as well.

    Somehow, he had been swept away into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s world of acting.

 Chapter 24

    <h4>Chapter 24: Ruan Yingyu</h4>

    Ruan Yingyu had gone to change her clothes when Xia Wanyuan was filming yesterday, so she had only seen thest scene.

    Today, she stood at the side and watched Xia Wanyuan film the entire scene. She admitted that she could never act with such great emotional outbursts and feelings. If anything, this internal admission made her even more uneasy.

    After all, she had worked so hard to get the lead role. What if Xia Wanyuan stole her limelight?

    ¡°Excellent, Xiao Xia! You¡¯ve grasped the role perfectly. Keep it up.¡±

    Director Yang had originally only regarded Xia Wanyuan as a pretty face, but he had never expected that it turned out she was so talented. He suddenly felt that he had made a killing, and the way he addressed Xia Wanyuan changed from ¡®the woman who had brought in funds¡¯ to ¡®Xiao Xia¡¯.

    ¡°Yes, Director.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at Director Yang.

    The scene had already ended, and Qin Wu had also let go of Xia Wanyuan. However, the warmth of her tears still lingered in his hands, like burning droplets into his heart.

    Xia Wanyuan went out of character immediately and took the soda from Chen Yun.

    ¡°That¡¯s great! How are you so good at crying?! That was so amazing.¡± Chen Yun¡¯s heart, which had been burned to ashes, was now filled with a field of growing wild grass.

    From the looks of it, Xia Wanyuan was truly enlightened. Her tear-stained face had even made him cry.?<i>¡®It will be eye-opening for the viewers when the drama airs!¡¯</i>

    Chen Yun had already started to imagine where he would go for a vacation with his bonus after filming this drama.

    ¡°I just thought of the fact that my family went bankrupt and it upset me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t bring herself to say that she had experienced the pain of losing her country in her previous life, so she could only make up an excuse using the recent matters of the original Xia Wanyuan.

    Unexpectedly, Chen Yun somehow became awkward when he heard that. He worriedly consoled Xia Wanyuan, ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad. Just focus on filming this drama. It will get better in the future.¡±

    He was about to leave when he turned back and touched his head in embarrassment. ¡°Erm, what do you want to eat for lunch? The packed lunch isn¡¯t good, so let me buy something else for you.¡±

    ¡°Bring me a bowl of baked potatoes then.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of her soda. A strange feeling hit her throat.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Chen Yun was stunned. He looked at Xia Wanyuan for a long time and realized that she was not joking. He then replied, ¡°Alright.¡±

    ¡®I guess she must be really broke?!¡¯

    Chen Yun muttered in his heart. Otherwise, why would she be so frugal? This was nothing like the Xia Wanyuan who would frequently demand a feast even when filming in the mountains.

    But it had to be said that the current Xia Wanyuan was much more approachable.

    ¡°Alright. All departments, pay attention. Where¡¯s the gaffer? Light Ruan Yingyu up.¡±

    Director Yang pointed at Ruan Yingyu. The cameraman and gaffer immediately followed his orders.

    The cameras were already set up, but under the props tent, Ruan Yingyu seemed to have not heard Director Yang¡¯s words and was immersed in her own world.

    ¡°Ruan Yingyu, what are you doing? Get ready, it¡¯s your turn!¡±

    Director Yang¡¯s shout pulled Ruan Yingyu out of her chaotic reverie. She nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was drinking a soda nearby with an air of magnanimity. Hatred shed across her eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Director. I was too engrossed while thinking about my lines and didn¡¯t hear you.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu bowed a few times consecutively. Director Yang pursed his lips. ¡°Alright, hurry up and prepare.¡±

    ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting.¡± Ruan Yingyu smiled at Qin Wu with a pure and sweet look. However, Qin Wu did not show any expression. He only nodded slightly and started acting with Ruan Yingyu.

    Yes, he could not deny that her pure and innocent appearance was indeed very attractive. However, her stereotyped innocence was worlds apart from Xia Wanyuan, who had a pair of beautiful crystal clear eyes, let alone that mesmerizing smile.

    Ruan Yingyu yed the role of Tian Ying Er, who was the childhood sweetheart of the male lead, Lin Xiao.

    The scene they were shooting today was the scene where Lin Xiao had thought of his sister who had grown up with him. After being humiliated in the outside world, he recalled their childhood love, which only deepened Lin Xiao¡¯s longing for Tian Ying Er.

    ¡°Sister! Look at the kite! Master and I secretly bought it at the market.¡±

    The bright youth flew down from the mountain peak using the wire stunt technique with a smile on his face and a butterfly-shaped kite in his hand.

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful! Thank you, Brother!¡± Tian Ying Er epted the kite with a joyful expression as she looked adoringly at her brother, who was perpetually radiant and bright.

    ¡°Stop!¡± Director Yang frowned as he looked at Ruan Yingyu¡¯s smile on the monitor. ¡°You are in your youthful period now! Both of you are still in a pure rtionship as a senior and a junior. What the hell is with that adoring look in your eyes! Start over!¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful! Thank you, Brother!¡±

    ¡°Cut! You don¡¯t look naive enough!¡±

    ¡°Cut! Now you look too naive. Why are you staring at him like that?¡±

    Director Yang was a serious person. Three consecutive NG cuts had made him furious.

    Seeing that it was almost noon, he snapped, ¡°Let¡¯s continue in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. I¡¯m so sorry. I¡¯m in a bad state today.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu bowed to everyone with an apologetic look on her face. However, her fingernails had already dug into her flesh.

    ¡°Think more about what an innocent girl should look like. If you really can¡¯t do it, go and ask Xia Wanyuan for advice and learn from how she acted yesterday.¡± After filming all morning, only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes had beenpletely filmed. Theparison made Director Yang extremely more dissatisfied with Ruan Yingyu¡¯s three consecutive NG scenes.

    ¡°Alright, Director. I will definitely seek guidance.¡±

    Even as she was speaking, Ruan Yingyu gritted her teeth and struggled to keep the irritation out of her voice. Ignoring the gazes of the crew, she entered her own lounge.

    The moment she entered the lounge, Ruan Yingyu threw the things in her hands onto the floor.

    ¡°B*tch! Who does she think she is! Me? Consult her?!¡±

    Her innocent eyes were filled with hatred.

    Since she only had scenes to film at night, Xia Wanyuan went back to the hotel. When Chen Yun entered the room with a bowl of baked potatoes bought from a roadside stall, Xia Wanyuan was eating the packed lunch from the production team in satisfaction.

    If one did not notice the packed lunch and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eating manners, Chen Yun would have thought that Xia Wanyuan was having a sumptuous feast.

    Chen Yun was a little speechless. ¡®Forget it, I¡¯ll give her an extra drumstick tomorrow afternoon.¡¯

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Chen Yun walked over and Xia Wanyuan handed him his packed lunch.

    ¡°Yes. Here, your potatoes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the potatoes. The other day, when she was on set, she had passed by the food street outside and smelled the crisp fragrance wafting in from outside the car window. Since then she has already been craving them.

    She picked one up and ced it in her mouth. The outside was a little hard, but the inside was soft and melted in her mouth. The taste was indeed not bad, but it was a little too oily. After popping two into her mouth and tasting them, Xia Wanyuan decided it was enough.

    He wasn¡¯t sure if the packed lunch provided by the production team had indeed be more delicious or if it was because of how deliciously Xia Wanyuan ate, Chen Yun felt that the packed lunch today tasted much better.

    ¡°You can take a break in the afternoon. I¡¯ll let you know when filming starts tonight.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    Chen Yun was about to leave with the trash when Xia Wanyuan suddenly spoke from behind him.

    ¡°Pay attention to Ruan Yingyu. She might take action in the next two days.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡±

    Even if Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t mention it, Chen Yun would still pay more attention to her.

    When they were resting on set earlier, Xia Wanyuan could feel the hatred in the woman¡¯s eyes whenever she looked at her.

    <h4>Chapter 25: The Alluring Dance</h4>

    After lunch, Xia Wanyuany down on the soft bed and took her afternoon nap. However, in the canteen of Jun Corporation, Xia Yu was not feeling asfortable.

    Having experienced a day of muddle-headedness the day before, the supervisor finally gave him some work today, which was to help the people in the office print documents.

    Everyone in the office knew that he hade in through connections, so no one dared to hand things over to him. Hence, he sat in the office and had nothing to do for a long time. During lunchtime, his colleagues asked him to have lunch together, so he went to the canteen together with them.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Young Master Xia?¡± A sharp voice sounded behind him.

    Xia Yu froze. Damn it, why did he bump into him?

    He pretended that nothing had happened and walked forward. However, the person behind him caught up and stopped him.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Yu looked at the person in front of him unhappily.

    The person in question was dressed in a pure white suit and his hair was neatlybed. His youthful face was full of mischief and mockery.

    It was Wang Hao, one of the people who had gotten into a fight with Xia Yu a few days ago. He was also the one who called Xia Yu ill-mannered. He hadpletely angered Xia Yu, which led to the fight.

    ¡°Young Master Xia, what are you doing here?¡± Wang Hao looked at the work pass hanging on Xia Yu¡¯s neck as if he had just discovered something incredible.

    ¡°Wow, the Xia family may have gone bankrupt, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be reduced to such a state! To think that even Young Master Xia has to work for someone now, haha!¡± The sarcasm on his face became more obvious.

    Xia Yu had always been arrogant because the Xia family had always given him money but did not care about whatever he did. Wang Hao had never liked him, so he could not wait to spread the news of Xia Yu working in thepany.

    He had gone to thepany to get close to a girl working there. Who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected surprise?

    The Xia family could notpare to the Jun family, but in China, they were considered a rather reputablepany. Everyone present had more or less heard about the Xia family¡¯s bankruptcy, and their gazes towards Xia Yu immediately changed.

    ¡°None of your business. Get lost if you don¡¯t want to get beaten up!¡±

    Sensing the strange gaze from the surroundings, Xia Yu felt wronged and yelled at Wang Hao.

    ¡°Hey! An employee of the Jun Corporation is going to beat someone up. Is anyone going to stop him?¡± Wang Hao shouted exaggeratedly, with an expression full of arrogance and mockery.

    Xia Yu clenched his fists tightly. Finally, he threw down the te on the table and rushed out.

    From there he rushed back to the office. He looked at the empty room and tears fell. He could not hold back his tears anymore.

    He wanted to quit.

    ¡°I¡¯m not staying in this lousy ce anymore!¡±

    ¡°Mr Xia.¡±

    Lin Jing had appeared at the door at some point during his tirade. His presence gave Xia Yu a shock.

    Xia Yu instinctively wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. ¡°What is it?¡± The young man¡¯s clear voice had a hint of suppressed hoarseness.

    ¡°Young Master wants you upstairs for a meal.¡±

    With that, Lin Jing turned around and left. As expected, worried that he would implicate Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu struggled for a while and decided to follow Lin Jing a momentter.

    They entered the CEO¡¯s private elevator and went straight to Jun Shiling¡¯s office.

    In the spacious office, Jun Shiling was reading the documents on the table with a focused expression.

    Xia Yu walked in and Jun Shiling looked up at him with his deep eyes. He nced at the table not far away and said, ¡°Finish your lunch first.¡±

    Xia Yu originally thought that Jun Shiling was going to scold him, and he was already prepared to argue with him. Hence, he was stunned seeing how calm the man was. He didn¡¯t know what Jun Shiling was going to say, so Xia Yu could only walk to the table and eat the food.

    ¡°Brother-in¡­¡± Xia Yu almost called Jun Shiling ¡®brother-inw¡¯ subconsciously. Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s oppressive gaze, he changed the way he addressed him immediately. ¡°Young Master Jun, I¡¯m not suitable for this ce, I¡¯m going home. Please tell my sister.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you suit?¡± Jun Shiling finally spoke. His cold tone was so cold that Xia Yu¡¯s heart went cold too.

    Xia Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Right¡­ Then what was suitable for him?

    Eat, drink, and have fun? Or going to bars and dancing? Partying his life away?

    Jun Shiling exposed his excuse with one sentence.

    At the end of the day, there was nothing suitable or unsuitable about it. It was just that he was unwilling to do it.

    Xia Yu clenched his fists nervously and was about to speak.

    ¡°Tell her yourself. I won¡¯t help you pass the message on.¡±

    After saying this, Jun Shiling ignored Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu was stumped. He realized that he didn¡¯t have the courage to tell Xia Wanyuan that he didn¡¯t want to stay in the Jun Corporation any more. Although he was young, he knew that Xia Wanyuan wanted him to stay with Jun Shiling for his own good.

    If he gave up now, it would undoubtedly be a clear indication to Xia Wanyuan that he was incapable, and that he was nothing but a coward.

    Biting his lower lip, Xia Yu nced at Jun Shiling, who was sitting behind the table with amanding aura. Then he turned around and left.

    Not long after he left, Jun Shiling received a report from Lin Jing.

    ¡°Xia Yu has returned to the finance department.¡±

    ¡­

    After an afternoon of takes and adjustments, Ruan Yingyu finally managed to reach Director Yang¡¯s standards after being stuck twice.

    It was different from what the outside world had imagined. Dramas nowadays were filmed scene by scene before they were edited.

    It was possible that she would have to be naive in the day, but turn bitter and revengeful at night. Hence, to actors, it was very important to quickly get into character.

    The scene to film at night was the scene where Xia Wanyuan had to disguise herself as the best dancer to sneak into the newly-promoted general¡¯s residence for the sake of reviving the country and taking revenge. With a single dance, she was able to charm the general and seize his love and trust.

    ¡°Alright, get the substitute ready. Go up and dance after you hear my cue.¡±

    Director Yang made a gesture, and the huge lights illuminated the crew. Everything was in ce, and the filming began.

    At the feast where everyone drank to their heart¡¯s content, the melodious sound of bamboo pipes could be heard.

    More than ten women in colorful clothes scattered their wide sleeves and danced gracefully. Flowers fell from the sky and it looked as if they had weaved a fantasy dream.

    Suddenly, the music stopped a while before ying loudly again as if it was weing someone.

    Suddenly, there was ady outside the hall. Lotuses bloomed with every step she took. The dancers surrounded her as if they were carrying her from behind. Petals fluttered down from the sky.

    When thedy walked in, the entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

    Under the bright lights, thedy would asionally raise her wrist and lower her eyebrows. At other times, she would gently wave her hands. The long sleeves in her hands were folded intricately, woven together in an exquisite tumble. It was as if a brush moving like a dragon and painting a painting. Her jade sleeves made the wind blow. She would turn, swing, open, twist, turn, circle, and curve smoothly like flowing water, or phoenixes dancing in harmony.

    After the dance, the entire room fell silent. Then, violent cheers erupted. At this moment, the dancer gently removed her veil, revealing a peerless face. The side of her ink-ck hair was draped like a waterfall, and there was a flower-shaped piece drawn with cinnabar between her brows. The golden thread at the corner of her eyes was enough to captivate the general sitting on the throne. He didn¡¯t even know that his wine ss had fallen.

    At this moment, the crew members were as fascinated as those on the scene.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan reminded the director herself that Director Yang reacted and hurriedly called out ¡°Cut¡±.

    It was only then that the film crew realized that the substitute did not even have a chance to go on stage. That gorgeous and wless dance was done by Xia Wanyuan herself!!

 Chapter 26

    <h4>Chapter 26: A Dance For My Precious Baby</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    The director was stunned. ¡°Xiao Xia, you know how to dance? Why didn¡¯t you say anything before?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve learned it since I was a kid. I never had many chances to dance before.¡±

    Everyone thought about it. Although Xia Wanyuan had a reputation for bringing funds into the production team, this youngdy had actually not ruined many of her shows. She had only acted in two shows before she had somehow garnered the hatred of the inte.

    ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ was her first period drama. The modern dramas she had acted in previously hadn¡¯t required her to dance either.

    ¡°It¡¯s really great. Alright, everyone, go and rest.¡± After sessfully filming this scene, Director Yang was in a good mood. If anything, he found Xia Wanyuan increasingly pleasing to the eye.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to dance so well.¡± Qin Wu watched from the side for a while and went up to Xia Wanyuan as she was done. His tone was full of admiration.

    ¡°I¡¯m just an amateur, it¡¯s nothing professional.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled politely.

    The Great Xia Dynasty emphasized being aplished with both the pen and the sword. When the members of the royal family were very young, not only did they learn the four arts, they also had to be well-trained in horse-riding, archery and dance.

    The original owner of this body had the foundation of ballet, and most importantly, she was young. So, Xia Wanyuan could still perform the dance moves with grace.

    ¡°You¡¯re pretty good.¡± Qin Wu didn¡¯t know what to say. He also didn¡¯t know why he hade up to talk to Xia Wanyuan.

    At that moment, Chen Yun walked over. ¡°Your phone keeps ringing. I can¡¯t possibly rummage through your bag for it. Quickly go and take a look.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan remember that she had forgotten to tell Xiao Bao yesterday that she needed to shoot a night scene today. Looking at the time, it was almost time for Xiao Bao to sleep.

    On the bed in the bedroom, Xiao Bao was holding onto Jun Shiling¡¯s phone. He had already called Xia Wanyuan three times, but no one picked up.

    Xiao Bao frowned and looked at the phone pitifully.

    When Jun Shiling walked in, he saw Xiao Bao looking like he was about to cry.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling walk in, Xiao Bao seemed to have found someone to vent his grievances on.

    ¡°Mommy¡¯s not picking up.¡± As Xiao Bao spoke, big drops of tears fell onto the nket.

    Seeing the anguish on the little dumpling¡¯s face, Jun Shiling took the phone with a frown. He looked at the three unanswered video calls on WeChat and turned off the phone.

    ¡°If she isn¡¯t answering, go to bed. Why are you crying?¡±

    Jun Shiling stuffed Xiao Bao¡¯s hand into the nket, a fierce look shing across his eyes.

    Was that woman just putting on an act a few days ago? Could she not hold on anymore?

    However, she should never have treated the sincerity of a child as a ything that she hade up with on a whim.

    Looking at Jun Yin¡¯s red eyes that were filled with grievance, Jun Shiling clenched his fists. He would never let that woman get close to the child again, even if it meant he would be deprived of motherly love.

    However, the buzzing sound of the phone exploded in the silent room.

    Jun Shiling took the phone and saw that it was indeed a call from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Is it Mommy? Give it to me, Daddy!¡±

    Xiao Bao, who had just said in his heart that he would not bother about his mommy anymore, heard the phone ring and came out from under the nket immediately.

    There was still a drop of unshed tears on his long eyshes, but his ck grape-like eyes were filled with joy.

    Jun Shiling sat by the bed, holding Xiao Bao in his arms as he answered the call.

    The video call connected. The words that Jun Shiling wanted to say to reprimand Xia Wanyuan were stuck in his throat.

    Xia Wanyuan was worried that Xiao Bao would get anxious from waiting, so she didn¡¯t even have time to change out of her costume before calling. She was still dressed like a dancer.

    At the moment she was wearing a long white gown with a few peonies on the cor that were outlined with silver threads. Her chest was wrapped in a broad piece of pale gold brocade.

    With her skin as fair as jade, the cinnabar flower ornament between her eyebrows matched the delicate color of her red lips. The golden eyeliner at the corner of her eyes enhanced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite beauty with a seductive charm.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing paused, and his grip on the phone tightened.

    Xiao Bao felt that Xia Wanyuan looked especially beautiful. He had never seen her dressed like this.

    ¡°Mommy, you look like a fairy!!¡± He had often heard Xia Wanyuan tell mythical stories. In Xiao Bao¡¯s world, the best way to describe someone pretty was to say that she looked like a fairy.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lifted slightly, and her crystal eyes were full of smiles. Under the light, the color of the cinnabar flower ornament between her brows appeared even brighter.

    ¡°Mommy forgot to tell you that I¡¯m filming a night scene today. I didn¡¯t bring my phone, so I didn¡¯t receive Xiao Bao¡¯s call in time. Can Xiao Bao forgive me?¡±

    ¡°I forgive you! Mommy, I¡¯ve been waiting for you obediently! I¡¯m not angry.¡± Xiao Bao replied before Xia Wanyuan could finish her sentence.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling nced speechlessly at his son in his arms. ¡®Then who was the one who had been crying so pitifully just moments ago?¡¯

    ¡°Mommy, why are you dressed like this for the drama?¡± Xiao Bao looked curiously at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes.

    ¡°Because I have to film a dance scene today.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, you know how to dance?!¡± Xiao Bao jumped excitedly in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. After being pressed down by Jun Shiling¡¯srge hand, he became obedient.

    There was a dance teacher in Xiao Bao¡¯s kindergarten who was especially good at dancing. Many children in the kindergarten liked her, and so did Xiao Bao. When he heard Xia Wanyuan mention dancing, Xiao Bao was so excited that he wanted to see Mommy dance.

    ¡°Mommy, I want to see you dance. I haven¡¯t seen you dance before.¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan in the video with his sparkling eyes that were full of anticipation.

    ¡°Okay, but Mommy is a little tired from filming. I¡¯ll dance for you for a little while, okay? Will you go to bed obediently after watching?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could only see Xiao Bao¡¯s fair face as Xiao Bao had held the phone close to his face. She did not think that Jun Shiling would be bored enough to watch her video call with Xiao Bao, so she agreed to Xiao Bao¡¯s request without feeling burdened.

    Anyway, there was nothing difficult about dancing to make the child happy.

    With that, Xia Wanyuan ced her phone on the table, adjusted the angle, stood under the light and winked at Xiao Bao.

    She recalled the dance moves she learned from her masters when she was young. Since she could not find any music on the spot, she hummed the melody herself.

    As Xia Wanyuan sang with a melodious voice, she gently swayed her sleeves and twisted her slender waist slowly. She began to dance with her graceful figure. Under the light, she was like a dancing butterfly, swaying her waist with the rhythm of the wind, blooming with her own brilliance.

    Although she was wearing extremely gorgeous makeup, the purity in her clear ss-like eyes made it impossible for anyone to have any romantic thoughts about her. Her dress was like a lotus flower in the wind, and she was so beautiful that it was as if Chang¡¯e, the Chinese goddess of the moon, had walked into this world.

    Xiao Bao was stunned. Just wait! He was going to announce to the whole kindergarten tomorrow that his Mommy, instead of the dance teacher, was the most beautiful person in the whole world!

    After a short dance, Xia Wanyuan stopped. ¡°Alright, Mommy has kept her promise. It¡¯s time for you to sleep.¡±

    Due to the dance, a thinyer of sweat formed on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead, making her look like an attractive and moving lotus that had been soaked in the morning dew.

    ¡°Mommy, you danced so beautifully! Are you actually a fairy?¡± In Xiao Bao¡¯s world, the fairy was the most beautiful and amazing person under the heavens!

    ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t you think so? Didn¡¯t Mommy dance really well?¡± Xiao Bao suddenly looked up and asked.

    Xia Wanyuan was shocked.

    ¡®Jun Shiling was beside him?!¡¯

    A few secondster, Xia Wanyuan heard a low, attractive voice in response.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 27: Returning to Beijing</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Wanyuan blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, Jun Shiling stopped talking on the other end of the line.

    ¡°Goodnight, Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao yawned and rubbed his eyes.

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    Everything returned to normal. However, only the person involved knew how much emotional turmoil there was that night.

    Unexpectedly, in the following week, Ruan Yingyu did not do anything out of the ordinary. In fact, she and Xia Wanyuan could be said to have minded their own business.

    Ever since Jun Shiling had seen Xia Wanyuan dancest time, Jun Shiling had intentionally avoided Xiao Bao and her whenever they had a video call.

    ¡°How is Xia Yu now?¡±

    Jun Shiling finally thought of Xia Yu, who had been thrown into the finance department.

    ¡°It¡¯s not going well for him.¡±

    In the finance department, Xia Yu was in a deadlock with a middle-aged man. Ever since the incident at the canteen, the suspicions towards Xia Yu had subsided.

    People were often afraid of the unknown. Now that Xia Yu¡¯s identity was clear and everyone knew that he was a bankrupt child of the Xia family, their attitude towards him naturally changed.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, help me print this.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Xia, help me send this to Manager Wu¡¯s office.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Xia, get me a cup of coffee.¡±

    From the moment the first employee asked Xia Yu for help, the others in the office gradually got used to ordering him around.

    Although Xia Yu had been left to sink or swim his whole life, he was always served wherever he went and had never served anyone before as the Xia family was rich in the past.

    However, thinking about how Jin Feng had poured him a cup of tea the first time he came to the office, Xia Yu decided to treat it as returning the favor.

    He didn¡¯t expect the coffee to be so hot that it burned Jin Feng¡¯s tongue. Jin Feng threw the cup onto the table, causing a few drops of hot coffee to ssh and scald Xia Yu.

    ¡°How can you be so useless? You can¡¯t even do such a small thing. Trash.¡±

    When Xia Yu first arrived, Jin Feng thought that he was someone with connections. Hence, he even respectfully made tea for thisd who was dozens of years younger than him. However, now that he realized that he was just a poor man, his attitude became arrogant.

    Xia Yu looked at Jin Feng with an unreadable expression and wiped the coffee stains on the back of his hand dry. Then, he slowly picked up the cup and poured the coffee on Jin Feng when nobody was watching.

    ¡°You!¡± Jin Feng shuddered and flinched back from the heat of the coffee. His white shirt turned dark gray in an instant.

    ¡°F*ck you, did I give you face?! Can¡¯t you do it yourself? Don¡¯t you have hands? You useless piece of trash!¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s lips curled up mockingly without a trace of a smile in his eyes.

    In the past, he always felt that there was nothing to pursue in life as long as there was food, drinks, and fun. Now that the Xia Family had gone bankrupt, he finally understood the fickleness of human nature.

    Those that he thought would always follow him and call them Brother Xia were out of sight when things went south for him.

    Someone who was old enough to be his father fought to make tea for him the first time they met because he thought that he had connections. However, after realizing that he was wrong, he finally showed his cloven hoof. Xia Yu scoffed.

    On the other hand, his half-sister, who had treated him like nothing before, was the only person who stood before him after the ident.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu¡¯s smile froze.

    Jin Feng rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward when he was stopped by his colleagues around him. Worried that they would argue again, his colleagues stepped forward to stop Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu shook off everyone¡¯s hands and left the office. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t stay in the finance department anymore. If there¡¯s any loss, I¡¯ll bear it myself. I won¡¯t implicate others.¡±

    ¡­

    Not long after Lin Jing finished his report, news came from the finance department and Xia Yu arrived at Jun Shiling¡¯s office alone.

    ¡°Your school¡¯s spring break is almost over. Go back to school.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Xia Yu looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have the ability to enter Jun Corporation¡¯s finance department yet,¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Yu with his deep eyes. ¡°I was just letting you in for a lesson.¡±

    ¡°Capital or ability, you have none. Why should others respect you?¡±

    Even after leaving Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling¡¯s words still lingered in Xia Yu¡¯s mind.

    Every word was like a warning bell that rang in Xia Yu¡¯s heart.

    ¡­

    In the filming of ¡°The Long Bad¡±, some of the scenes needed to be filmed in the Southern Film City. Therefore, these few days, the film crew mainly filmed the scenes that needed to be filmed in the south.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s character was said to be the second female lead, but because ¡°The Long Bad ¡± was originally a male genre production, the existence of female characters was to support the male lead¡¯s chivalrous tendencies.

    As the second female lead who had a one-sided love for the male lead, she didn¡¯t have many scenes.

    After more than ten days of intense filming, Xia Wanyuan went with Chen Yun back to Beijing. At the same time, photos of Xia Wanyuan leaving and arriving at Beijing airport started circting online.

    Hot searches about airport photos usually included photos of celebrities looking wless. However, when it came to Xia Wanyuan, everyone criticized her for only filming for ten days.

    When he alighted the ne and got into the car, Chen Yun was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone.

    Why didn¡¯t he realize that Xia Wanyuan was so popr now? She even had photos taken at the airport.

    ¡°It must be Ruan Yingyu and herpany, Strawberry Entertainment! How could they take advantage of the situation? I was wondering why she was acting so abnormally recently. She even suggested to the director to shoot your scene first. Turns out she was nning this!¡±

    ¡°Calm down.¡± Xia Wanyuan casually handed Chen Yun an orange.

    Chen Yun speechlessly nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was acting as if nothing had happened.

    In the past, he used to pray that Xia Wanyuan would stop causing trouble and be quiet. But now, Xia Wanyuan was quiet, but a little too quiet.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take you back first.¡± Chen Yun was just about to tell the driver the address of the vi.

    However, Xia Wanyuan gave it some thought and gave him a new address.

    Chen Yun didn¡¯t think much of it at first, but when the car slowly drove into a road covered by towering sycamore trees, he could faintly hear the sound of water sshing. After a while, they passed through arge area of roses and finally revealed an extremely magnificent manor.

    In Beijing where every inch ofnd was worth gold, this manor actually upied about 300 acres.

    Under the setting sun, the French Fontainebleau-style building appeared even more serene and majestic. The tall fences could not stop the vines and roses that were blooming out of the garden.

    As far as he could see, the solemn gates were decorated with dazzling enamel-painted windows and lifelike marble relics.

    ¡­

    ¡°This is your house?¡± Chen Yun took a deep breath. ¡®Didn¡¯t they say that the Xia family was bankrupt?!¡¯

    ¡°No. It¡¯s a friend¡¯s house.¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh.¡± He was almost scared to death. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan had suddenly moved to such a ce.

    Xia Wanyuan used to be the daughter of a rich family, so it was normal for her to have a rich friend.

    Chen Yun looked at the majestic building outside the car and clicked his tongue. It was too heaven-defying to be this rich.

    After sending Xia Wanyuan to the door, Chen Yun left. He looked at the door enviously and urged the driver to leave quickly. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We can¡¯t stay here for too long. If we stay any longer, I will develop an extreme hatred towards the rich.¡±

    The manor was extremely private and Jun Shiling had never met outsiders in the manor. This was the first time someone had rang the bell at the entrance.

 Chapter 28

    <h4>Chapter 28: Warmth</h4>

    Uncle Wang looked at Xia Wanyuan with aplicated expression. After all, Young Master had given a clear order not to allow this woman toe near the manor.

    As Xia Wanyuan was afraid of the Young Master, she had indeed never set foot here before. What was going on today?

    Uncle Wang walked quickly to the door and wiped the expression off his face. ¡°Miss Xia, Young Master is still in the office. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. I will pass it on.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. Uncle Wang clearly had no intention of opening the door for her. Was it under Jun Shiling¡¯s orders?

    Butst night, when she was video-chatting with Xiao Bao, he had told her toe and pick him up directly.

    ¡°That¡¯s fine, it¡¯s nothing much.¡±

    Forget it, she decided to return to the apartment first. Xia Wanyuan did not pester him further and turned to leave.

    On the other side of the door, Uncle Wang was a little surprised. He had seen Xia Wanyuan once before, and her antics left a deep impression. But the current Xia Wanyuan actually had a faint elegant and indifferent temperament.

    Just before she left, a limousine slowly drove over from afar.

    Uncle Wang cursed in his heart. Young Master hated this woman the most. If Young Master saw Xia Wanyuan, he would be in trouble. He gestured for the bodyguards to open the door and Uncle Wang walked out, waiting respectfully.

    Jun Shiling, who would usually work overtime untilte at night, had unexpectedly left work early today to fetch Jun Yin and take him home.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s voice broke the silence in the car.

    Looking up from the document, Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan standing by the roadside.

    After not seeing her for more than half a month, this woman seemed to have lost some weight, making her corbones appear thinner.

    She was wearing a sky-blue dress with rose petals on it. Her long ck hair was draped over her shoulders. As the breeze blew, the hem of her dress flew up slightly, making her look charming and enchanting.

    When the car reached the entrance, it did not drive straight in. Instead, it stopped beside Xia Wanyuan.

    A pair of tiny shoes printed with Ultraman jumped out of the car.

    ¡°Mommy, I missed you so much!¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could react, Xiao Bao was already hugging her leg. He looked up, and hisrge eyes were filled with pure longing.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and gently held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand. ¡°Mommy missed you too.¡±

    Uncle Wang, who was standing at the side, watched this scene in shock. Why was Little Master so close to Xia Wanyuan?

    He stepped forward and looked warily at Xia Wanyuan, afraid that she would do something to hurt the little master.

    Unexpectedly, another figure alighted from the car. ¡°Young Master?!¡± Uncle Wang couldn¡¯t help but exim.

    Jun Shiling worked untilte every day. That was the first time he had returned to the manor before the sky turned dark.

    Xia Wanyuan also raised her head to look at Jun Shiling. As usual, he was dressed in a ck suit, giving him a cold and arrogant aura. His perfect facial features exuded coldness.

    ¡°I¡¯ll bring him back to the apartment for a few days,¡± Xia Wanyuan spoke first.

    ¡°He didn¡¯t eat much for lunch. Let him eat first before leaving,¡± Jun Shiling nced at Jun Yin and said.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m not hungry. Let¡¯s go!¡± All Xiao Bao wanted was to go home and y with Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling nced at his son, and Jun Yin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn¡¯t help but hug Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs even more tightly.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia, the food is ready. Why don¡¯t you eat before leaving?¡±

    Uncle Wang suddenly had an epiphany. He recalled the woman¡¯s voice he had heard on Young Master¡¯s phone half a month ago. ¡®Could it be Miss Xia?!¡¯ His attitude toward Xia Wanyuan immediately changed.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not very hungry herself. She had eaten several oranges earlier in the car, but she was afraid that the child would be hungry, so she agreed readily.

    Still holding onto Xiao Bao¡¯s hand, she walked in. Compared to what she saw outside, the interior of the manor looked more exquisite and beautiful.

    From the south to the north, beside the river that flowed around the border of the manor, there were willow trees and all kinds of flowers. The willow branches hung low, sweeping on a patch of greennd.

    It was a veryrge and well-maintained garden. There were towering trees and small flowers on the ground, which raced to bloom in the spring season. Not far away on thewn was Xiao Bao¡¯s toy car.

    The scene left Xia Wanyuan speechless. During this period of time, she had also acquainted herself with the property prices in Beijing. In such a ce where every inch ofnd was worth gold, to actually have such arge manor, one could see just how rich the Jun family was.

    Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and trotted into the house as he wanted to show her his newly assembled Lego. Xia Wanyuan smiled as she ran with him, and her long and slender legs tapped on the gravel road.

    Jun Shiling, who followed them into the house expressionlessly, suddenly frowned. ¡°Jun Yin, why are you running? Can¡¯t you walk properly?¡±

    Upon hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s reprimand, Xiao Bao shrunk his head slightly and slowed down.

    The interior of the room was decorated in a European style. The tall marble pirs supported the surroundings, and the huge chandelier lit up the room.

    This was the first time the servants in the house had seen a woman from outside. They were all extremely puzzled, but they still maintained a calm smile on the surface.

    ¡°The food is ready.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan came back from washing Xiao Bao¡¯s hands, Jun Shiling was already seated at the dining table.

    ¡°Mommy, eat this.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never been to the manor before. Like a little master of the house, Xiao Bao used his small hands to serve her food with chopsticks.

    ¡°Eat this and this too.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s hands were small, so the food he picked up with his chopsticks dropped as he was aiming for the bowl. In the end, there was only a small piece left in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    But Xia Wanyuan enjoyed the child¡¯s kindness.

    The Jun family¡¯s kitchen was filled with chefs from all over the world. Naturally, the quality of the dishes could not bepared to those outside. Xia Wanyuan was very satisfied with her meal.

    ¡°Jun Yin, sit properly. The food is all over the ce.¡± Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t stand Xiao Bao¡¯s habit of fidgeting around when eating.

    ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t be jealous. I¡¯ll get you a piece too.¡±

    As Xiao Bao spoke, he put a prawn into Jun Shiling¡¯s bowl.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened, but Xiao Bao maintained his expression, which seemed to say ¡®Daddy, why are you so easily jealous at such an old age?¡¯ Xia Wanyuan secretlyughed at the side.

    Jun Shiling gave his son a warning look, but still put the prawn into his mouth.

    Uncle Wang, who was watching their interaction, was surprised and emotional. When he saw Xiao Bao putting food into Jun Shiling¡¯s bowl, Uncle Wang even turned his back and secretly wiped his tears.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s parents had died early. The Jun family was a big family and Jun Shiling was Old Master¡¯s favorite grandson. Everyone was afraid of him and schemed against him. Although he loved his grandson, Old Master was busy with work and he did not have time to care more about him.

    Uncle Wang watched his young master grow into an outstanding but cold person. It was as if other than leading the Jun Corporation, there was nothing else that could stir his emotions.

    But now, the young master had made him feel the warmth of a father. As an elder who had watched Jun Shiling grow up, how could he not be moved?

    ¡­

    The weather in Beijing was unpredictable. It was just gloomy a moment ago, but now it was raining heavily.

    The lights made the house look as bright as it was during the day. Even though the sky was filled with dark clouds, the people eating in the house were undisturbed.

    After the meal, Xia Wanyuan held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and stared at the heavy rain outside the door. She was speechless. ¡®Wasn¡¯t the weather quite sunny just now?¡¯

    ¡°Mommy, you can sleep with us here today.¡± Xiao Bao had always seen scenes of parents sleeping with their children in advertisements or cartoons on television.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Xiao Bao¡¯s words. ¡°The storm should stop soon. Didn¡¯t you say you were going to show me your Ultraman? Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡±

    At the mention of Ultraman, Xiao Bao jumped with joy. He leaped up and took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands, before running to the second floor.

    Jun Shiling had also heard what Xiao Bao said, but strangely, he did not feel repulsed. In the past, he would not even want to take a look at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, have someone prepare the guest room.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    The rain came fiercely andsted a long time. The sky slowly darkened, but the rain still showed no signs of stopping.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the guest room is ready. Someone will bring clothes to the manor for you to change intoter. Since it¡¯s raining heavily outside, please stay here tonight.¡±

    Uncle Wang stood at the door and was shocked to see how much Little Master relied on Xia Wanyuan. There had never been an outsider staying overnight in the manor, let alone a woman. Hence, many things were not avable and had to be sent in from outside.

    ¡°Mommy, let¡¯s sleep here. I¡¯m not finished with one of Ultraman¡¯s legs. Can you fix it together with me tonight?¡±

    During this period of time, Xiao Bao had been obsessed with Lego. That Ultraman, who was half the height of a person, was only short of a leg to bepleted.

    ¡°Alright then.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was almost done with the filming of the drama, and she did not have other business activities too. Since both houses were Jun Shiling¡¯s anyway, it did not matter where she stayed.

    ¡°What did she say?¡±

    Jun Shiling sat downstairs, his resolute side profile remained expressionless.

    ¡°Miss Xia agreed.¡±

    Sensing the change in Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude, not to mention the fact that a woman was staying in the manor was already something incredible, everyone began to treat Xia Wanyuan as the future mistress.

    They sent a huge te of fruits to the mother and son, who were engrossed in fixing the Lego. Xia Wanyuan had never eaten most of the fruits on the te in her two lifetimes.

    She smiled at the servants and thanked them. The youngdy who delivered the fruits was enchanted by her smile. The future mistress had a good temper and was really beautiful!

    Downstairs, Jun Shiling was discussing the development n of the southern resort with a few higher-ups in thepany.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, where¡¯s my brother? Where did he go?¡±

    After eating and ying for a long time, Xia Wanyuan finally remembered her brother. She had yet to see Xia Yu and wondered how he was doing. Xia Wanyuan walked out of the room and called out to Jun Shiling, who was focused on hisputer.

    A clear and melodious female voice sounded from the video call. The video conference, which had been full of words and heated discussions, suddenly stopped.

    ????

    At this moment, the people in the meeting room couldn¡¯t hide the surprise in their eyes.

    A woman?! In the Big Boss¡¯s house?! This was even more unbelievable than the bankruptcy of the Jun Corporation!

    After all, Jun Shiling was like a walking King of Hell. At one point, they had thought that Boss would be single for life, but now, there was actually a woman in Boss¡¯s house.

    In the blink of an eye, all kinds of thoughts surged in everyone¡¯s mind. Only Lin Jing knew what was going on. He adjusted his sses and revealed a mysterious smile.

    ¡°He went back to school. He should be back in two days.¡±

    She had thought that Jun Shiling would hang up the video call immediately, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s expressionless face, everyone sweated. Boss, how did you take that beauty home with that cold face of yours?

    ¡°Oh, alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned and left.

    ¡°Continue.¡± Jun Shiling turned his gaze back to the meeting. Everyone had already adjusted their expressions to look extremely professional and serious, as if they were not the ones who were eavesdropping on their boss.

    ¡°Okay, ording to the report by the investment department¡­¡±

    ¡­

    Soon enough, the clothes were delivered. After washing up, Xia Wanyuan felt that the fatigue from the few hours of flight had disappeared.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to bed.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, shall we sleep with Daddy?¡±

    How hard must it be for Xiao Bao to remember about sleeping with his parents after ying with his toys for so long!

    ¡°Your father isn¡¯t used to sleeping with others.¡± Xia Wanyuan could only use Jun Shiling as an excuse.

    ¡°That¡¯s not right. Mommy, is our family iplete?¡±

    Xiao Bao lowered his head and there were tears at the corners of his eyes. What he said shocked Xia Wanyuan. ¡®Where did he hear these words from?¡¯

    At that moment, in the public service advertisement that was broadcasted between cartoons, the moon was shining brightly outside the window, and parents and children were sleeping peacefully on the bed in the house.

    ¡°Aplete family is the greatest care for the baby.¡±

    ¡­

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the advertising slogan speechlessly, while Xiao Bao pouted. The tears in his eyes made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart clench.

    ¡°I am¡­ okay with it, but if your father doesn¡¯t agree, then shall we sleep in the guest room?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling would definitely not agree, so she agreed to Xiao Bao¡¯s request.

    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll go get Daddy!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s mood finally turned for the better as he ran down the stairs happily. Xia Wanyuan leisurely picked up a cherry on the table and put it into her mouth, thinking about how tofort the little dumpling who would be facing rejection.

    Momentster, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the door.

    ¡°Mommy, Daddy agreed!¡± The little dumpling¡¯s excited voice rang out.

    ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Xia Wanyuan choked on the delectable fruit. How was it possible that Jun Shiling agreed??

    ¡°Mommy, let¡¯s go to bed.¡± Having obtained Jun Shiling¡¯s permission, Xiao Bao pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and ran to the master bedroom,pletely forgetting Jun Shiling¡¯s request to stay in the guest room.

    The master bedroom was veryrge with huge French windows. The heavy rain had left a series of marks on the ss windows. The decorations in the room were extremely simple, and the dark gray style reflected the cold personality of the owner of the room.

    Xiao Bao jumped onto the bed and waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy,e here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wasn¡¯t worried about what Jun Shiling would do to her as someone like him had the most unattainable arrogance.

    In the past, when they were ambushed by enemy troops in the military camp, there were no tents or beds. Everyone slept on the ground.

    At that time, there was no distinction between men and women. They were merelyrades who had fought side by side. As a result, Xia Wanyuan only felt a little awkward and had no other thoughts.

    ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s go to sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stepped forward, lifted the nket, and pulled the little dumpling into her embrace. She softly hummed a new song that she had been listening to for the past few days. But after half an hour, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were still wide open.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡± Xia Wanyuan noticed the obvious fatigue in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Daddy here yet?¡± Xiao Bao insisted on sleeping with his parents.

    ¡°He should be here soon.¡± Xia Wanyuan could onlyfort him.

    Jun Shiling, who had been hesitating for a long time downstairs, did not know why he had softened his heart and agreed to his tearful son. Perhaps it was because he had owed this child too much, and he could not bear to shatter the child¡¯s hope.

    ording to Xiao Bao¡¯s routine, he should have fallen asleep by now. Jun Shiling put down his book and prepared to go upstairs to take a look.

    Unexpectedly, when he gently pushed open the door, two pairs of bright eyes on the bed looked towards him.

    ¡°Daddy!¡± When Xiao Bao saw Jun Shiling, he immediately crawled out of bed. He thought that Jun Shiling had changed his mind.

    Running over, he held onto Jun Shiling¡¯s thigh tightly. ¡°Daddy, you promised me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. He picked Xiao Bao up from the ground and hugged him. ¡°Why are you running around on the cold floor?¡±

    On the bed, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a silk dress that had been delivered from outside. She had originally thought that it was a very normal dress, but after Jun Shiling nced at it, she felt ufortable all over for some reason.

    Covering her shoulders with the nket, Xia Wanyuan moved further in, creating arge space on the bed.

    Xiao Bao crawled into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, but he had not let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Let go, I¡¯m going to change.¡± Jun Shiling gestured for Xiao Bao to let go of his hand.

    Only then did Xiao Bao reluctantly let him go. When Jun Shiling came out of the bathroom, Xiao Bao was still waiting with his eyes wide open, while Xia Wanyuan had already closed her eyes.

    ¡°Daddy,e here.¡±

    Lowering his voice, Xiao Bao waved at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling lifted the nket andy down. It was warm inside the nket. Xiao Bao held onto Xia Wanyuan with one hand and Jun Shiling with the other, finally closing his eyes in satisfaction.

    As the people in the room gradually fell asleep, the lights in the room automatically adjusted to sleep mode, leaving only a dim light.

    The turbulence that was hidden under the bright lights spread out endlessly in the darkness.

    The ce where Jun Shiling was sleeping was where Xia Wanyuan hadin earlier. A fragrant scent wafted from the pillow and lingered at the tip of Jun Shiling¡¯s nose, disturbing his sleep for a long time.

    The breathing of the people around him had gradually calmed down. Jun Shiling turned his head slightly. Xiao Bao had already let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand while he was sound asleep and hadpletely rolled into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    Hence, when Jun Shiling turned his head, what he saw was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face hidden in the darkness. The dark light carefully outlined her silhouette, adding a deeper charm to it.

    Jun Shiling quietly watched Xia Wanyuan for a while, then looked at his son buried under the nket. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

    The rain outside the house gradually stopped, and the light drizzle trickled down the French windows. The warmth in the house spread and a beautiful dream surrounded the people inside.

    ¡­

    The next morning, the sunlight shone in through the window after the rain, reflecting on the bed. When Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, Jun Shiling was nowhere to be seen.

    Xiao Bao was still sleeping in her arms. Xia Wanyuan nced at the time. Seeing that Xiao Bao could continue to sleep for another hour, she eased her movements and got out of bed.

    When she pushed open the door, the servants were already waiting at the door.

    There were more than ten sets of essories, clothes, jackets, and shoes.

    ¡°Miss Xia, please choose your outfit.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    For a moment, Xia Wanyuan felt like she had returned to her previous life where she was served by everyone as the Eldest Princess.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go with this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pointed her fingers randomly. The servants then led her to the changing room.

    Xia Wanyuan chose a simple set of home clothes. The soft, apricot-colored woolen off-shoulder shirt revealed her fair corbones.

    After about ten minutes, Xia Wanyuan freshened up and went downstairs. Jun Shiling was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. He always went to the office early, so he always had breakfast early.

    Sitting at the dining table against the light, the sun cast a warm glow on Jun Shiling from behind. Jun Shiling, who was wearing a white shirt, heard Xia Wanyuaning down the stairs. When he looked up, he looked like a gentleman.

    ¡°Good Morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded her head. Jun Shiling nodded and lowered his head.

    ¡°Miss Xia, Little Master is still asleep. Why don¡¯t you eat first? There¡¯s enough food in the kitchen.¡±

    Uncle Wang watched as Xia Wanyuan walked out of the master bedroom. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan became increasingly strange, and his attitude towards her also improved.

    ¡°I¡¯ll eat with Xiao Baoter. I¡¯ll go out for a walk first.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    After the rain, the sky was clear and blue as the sea. Taking a deep breath of the moist air would make one feel refreshed. On thewn, dewdrops hung off the des of grass, each of them shining under the sunlight.

    Unknown blue flowers scattered across the grass like stars. White magnolia, red roses, pink peach blossoms, they were all blooming into a sea of bright flowers.

    After a night of rain, arge number of petals were washed to the ground, leaving behind a path of flowers. The limestone road had already be a flower road.

    Meanwhile, the flowers that were still standing upright on the tree branches in the heavy rain had water droplets on them. Their petals were fresh and tender, while the water droplets were lustrous. A gentle breeze blew past, which brought the fragrance of the flowers away and created a petal rain.

    In the sea of flowers, the petals fell one after another. The water droplets on the trees reflected a resplendent glow under the sunlight. Xia Wanyuan, who was looking up at the flowers, was as beautiful as a fairy. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether she was more beautiful or if the flowers were more beautiful.

    As the car drove towards the entrance, Jun Shiling sat in the car and saw this scene. His deep eyes narrowed like a wolf that had finally found its prey.

    The Jun manor was indeed huge. After walking in the garden for some time, Xia Wanyuan still did not see the end of it. Looking at the time, it was about time for Xiao Bao to wake up, so Xia Wanyuan followed the same path back.

    As soon as she entered the room, she saw her little dumpling running down the stairs.

    ¡°Mommy, I thought you left!¡±

    Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan in a panic.

    ¡°Mommy didn¡¯t leave. I was just looking at the flowers outside. Look,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she ced a magnolia in Xiao Bao¡¯s tiny hands. There was a hint of dew on the white petals.

    ¡°It¡¯s pretty! Mommy, let¡¯s go eat. I¡¯m hungry.¡± After he knew that Xia Wanyuan had not abandoned him, Xiao Bao waspletely relieved.

    After breakfast, the chauffeur sent Xiao Bao to school. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and called Xia Yu.

    During this period of time, Xia Yu, who didn¡¯t want to stay in the Jun family nor return to the Xia family, returned to the school dormitory for the first time and spent a few days in peace.

    ¡°Who is it???¡±

    Although Xia Yu was a devil on the outside, the temperament of youth could be seen in him when he returned to the dormitory where a group of innocent peers lived.

    Soon, he had truly be one with the people in the dormitory. Last night, he had yed games with his roommates until two or three in the dark with his crippled arm. He was very unhappy to be suddenly woken up by the ringing phone.

    He ended the call subconsciously, but who would have thought that the phone would ring so persistently? Everyone in the dormitory was woken up.

    Xia Yu pressed the answer button fiercely and sounded extremely impatient.

    ¡°Xia Yu, you¡¯re not up yet?¡± The gentle voice on the other end of the phone made Xia Yu lose his sleepiness and his impatience disappeared.

    ¡°I¡¯m up and having breakfast now.¡± Little Young Master Xia lied without thinking.

    ¡°Oh, then wait for me at the apartment in half an hour. I¡¯m back.¡±

    ?!!

    ¡°Half an hour?!¡± Xia Yu waspletely awake now.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you having breakfast? I¡¯ll give you ten minutes to have breakfast. It¡¯ll only take fifteen minutes from your school to your apartment. Half an hour is enough.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hung up after speaking.

    On the other end of the line, Xia Yu leaped up from the bed immediately.

    ¡°Hey, how can you be like this? You told me toe in half an hour but you¡¯re five minuteste!¡± Xia Yuidzily on the sofa and looked at Xia Wanyuan with an aggrieved expression.

    God knew how he got up, dressed, washed up within two minutes, and ran all the way to the school gate. Everyone in the dormitory thought he had gone crazy.

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t you been to the hospital for your checkuptely?¡± Xia Wanyuan passed her luggage to Nanny Li. She had just gotten off the ne when she received a call from his attending doctor yesterday, saying that Xia Yu hadn¡¯t gone for his checkup at all.

    ¡°I recovered a long time ago. Why would I go for a follow-up check? If you don¡¯t believe me, take a look.¡± Xia Yu pretended to raise his arm, but the vague pain made him frown.

    ¡°Go to the hospital with me,¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu unhappily. ¡®It takes a hundred days for the bone to knit and the tendons to heal, yet this person is being so careless.¡¯

    ¡°I¡¯m not going. I have an appointment with my roommates for gamester.¡± Xia Yu shrank his head.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t go, then don¡¯t bothering to me in the future. Go and do whatever you want,¡± Xia Wanyuan said before heading downstairs.

    ¡­

    ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯m not going to the hospital because of your threat. Do you think I want to stay here?¡±

    As expected, Xia Yu caught up with her not long after, but his beautiful eyes were filled with disdain.

    ¡°I know. You¡¯re afraid that your heroic image will be damaged, right?¡±

    Tsk, how could this person steal his lines? Xia Yu was stumped by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. He sat in the front passenger seat and sulked alone while looking out of the window.

    They took a scan when they arrived at the hospital. Thankfully, Xia Yu¡¯s injuries healed quickly as he was still young, but he still could not makerge sweeping gestures or movements. Resting for a while more would be sufficient for hisplete recovery.

    ¡°Young man, your sister treats you pretty well. Shees with you every time for your checkup,¡± the doctor chatted with Xia Yu as he changed his dressing.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Yu subconsciously replied. He turned to look at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in the waiting area. This was the first time he had a family member apanying him while he was at the doctor¡¯s.

    ¡°Well, I guess,¡± Xia Yu mumbled. The doctor did not notice his burning ears.

    After treatment, Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan to collect his medicine. A person rushed in from the door. Seeing that the elevator was about to close, that person rushed over quickly. Xia Wanyuan did not notice and was almost knocked down by him. Xia Yu hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling.

    Not far away, a camera was focused on this scene. The camera¡¯s owner grinned excitedly.

    He did not expect that he would be able to take some ¡°good¡± photos during his trip to the hospital due to a cold. They looked as if they were hugging each other in the photos. Even though the woman only had a side profile, those who were familiar with her could easily tell who she was.

    ¡°Are you blind!¡± Xia Yu shouted at the elevator, but the door had already closed. Xia Yu let go of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Can you calm down?¡±

    ¡­

    After getting the medicine, the chauffeur was about to drive the car back to the apartment.

    ¡°I¡¯m living pretty well in the school dormitory.¡± Xia Yu didn¡¯t have many friends since he was young, and he was used to beingzy, so he didn¡¯t spend much time in school.

    After being taught a good lesson by Jun Shiling and staying in the dormitory for a few days, he quite liked the atmosphere there.

    This university was actually not bad. Back then, Father Xia had donated a building and had to pull some strings to get him in. His roommates had all entered the university through actual examinations. They were simple and well-educated.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just stay in the dorm. My roommates are fun.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Indeed, he could not always live with his family as an adult man. He should have his own social circle.

    ¡°Chauffeur, take us to the supermarket.¡±

    ¡°What for?¡± Xia Yu was confused.

    When they arrived at the supermarket, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes turned red as she watched Xia Wanyuan search through Baidu while throwing all sorts of living essentials into the trolley. He pursed his lips and suppressed his tears.

    Xia Wanyuan did not notice Xia Yu¡¯s emotions. She was simply dazzled by the variety of goods avable.

    There was also a small supermarket next to the hotel where she lived. She liked to shop there when she had nothing to do. After all, every item here was very novel to her.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the phone to Xia Yu. On it was a list of necessities needed by male university students. Xia Wanyuan pointed at the words that said ¡®gamingputer¡¯.

    Xia Wanyuan knew these words when separated, but when put together, it was somewhat iprehensible.

    ¡°It¡¯s aputer for games,¡± Xia Yu exined to Xia Wanyuan about the popr PUBG and MOBA games.

    After the exnation, Xia Wanyuan finally understood what it meant. In fact, it was simr to football and shuttlecock kicking in her previous life. The difference was that the games had developed into video games.

    ¡°Do you have one?¡± Xia Wanyuan had never objected to her siblings ying games. What she objected to was ying through life and having no serious ambition.

    ¡°It¡¯s in the Xia family home.¡±

    So Xia Wanyuan brought Xia Yu to the electronics section. She didn¡¯t know what to buy, so she took the most expensive model in the area. The alien logo on theputer shone brightly.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    These few days, he had finally experienced the hardships of the people. The Xia family was bankrupt, and Xia Yu knew that a certain family would not care about them at all. So, although he was touched, he was a little worried that Xia Wanyuan would buy things for him and not have any money left for herself.

    ¡°Hey, you don¡¯t have to buy it.¡±

    ¡°I want four of these.¡±

    Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan had already finishedmunicating with the staff. Hearing that she wanted four, the staff grinned from ear to ear. A year¡¯s worth of sales target had been hit one day! She ran over to write a receipt for Xia Wanyuan immediately. Her actions were so fast as if she was afraid Xia Wanyuan would go back on her word.

    ¡°Why did you buy so many?¡± Xia Yu was shocked. Had he worried about Xia Wanyuan for nothing?

    ¡°It¡¯s your first time living in a dorm. Shouldn¡¯t you bring some presents for your roommates?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan acted as if nothing had happened. She estimated the amount of money the original owner of the body had in her card. She still could afford to buy a fewputers. Furthermore, she had just read online that this was a present that all young men dreamed of.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Xia Yu waspletely speechless.

    The trunk was gradually filled up. When they arrived at the dormitory, it was impossible for the chauffeur and Xia Yu to move the things themselves.

    Xia Yu called his roommates for help and soon, three sleepy people came down with their slippers.

    ¡°F*ck, Xia Yu, did you wipe out everything? Why are there so many things?¡±

    Xia Yu was leaning against a pile of boxes that were half the height of a person downstairs. If he did not have a pretty face and an annoying expression, people who didn¡¯t know him would have thought that he was a delivery man.

    ¡°Cut the crap and help me carry them up.¡±

    There was a huge pile of boxes. The four young and strong men carried all of them to the sixth floor. Even though they were young, they were exhausted from carrying so many things. When they entered the dormitory, all of them were panting heavily.

    ¡°We worked so hard to move your things, you have to treat us to a meal.¡± Zhang Zhe wiped the sweat off his face and gulped down a mouthful of water, teasing Xia Yu.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Let¡¯s go to Quanjude for some Peking duck!¡±

    The others agreed.

    ¡°What¡¯s inside anyway? I¡¯m exhausted from lugging it up.¡± Su Mei carried a heavy big box that was half the height of a person.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know when you open it.¡±

    There were no taboos between roommates. Su Mei immediately opened the box and the others surrounded him.

    ¡°F*ck! Holy sh*t!¡±

    ¡°Damn!¡±

    ¡°Wow!¡±

    Different words were expressed in the same tone.

    ¡°Tycoon! The alien has blinded our eyes!¡±

    ¡°Let me take a look at the model. F*ck! It¡¯s thetest high-end version. I¡¯m so jealous.¡± Zhang Zhe looked at Xia Yu enviously.

    As a male university student of this era, who wouldn¡¯t want to wake up with a top-notch gamingputer that allowed one to y all the games with maxed-up specs?

    ¡°Hey, why are there more below? Why did you buy so many?¡± Su Mei flipped through the box and found another one below the first one.

    ¡°My sister bought them for you. She said they¡¯re a gift for you all.¡± This was the first time Xia Yu called Xia Wanyuan ¡®sister¡¯, but unfortunately, she could not hear it.

    With that, Xia Yu went forward and opened the box. The four brand newputers were shining, butpared to the excitement and brightness in the eyes of the other three, it seemed a little dim inparison.

    ¡°F*ck!¡±

    The three of them were stunned by what Xia Yu¡¯s sister had done. From their usual interactions, they had guessed that Xia Yu was a rich second-generation heir. But, they didn¡¯t expect him to be so generous.

    They went forward and touched the gamingputers that were said to have top-tier performance. Sure enough, expensive items felt different.

    However, they were still students. Other than Yang Lin, the other two had a good family background. However, they had never received such a valuable gift.

    Therefore, although the three of them were very excited, they rejected the gift.

    ¡°Thank you for your sister¡¯s good intentions, but this is too expensive. We can¡¯t afford to pay it back.¡± Although Yang Lin was poor, he did not have anything against the rich. He knew that he should not ept gifts from others for nothing.

    ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right,¡± the other two echoed.

    ¡°Just ept it. She already bought it.¡± Recalling Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words before she left, Xia Yu pursed her lips. ¡°Besides, my sister told you to supervise me to get an A grade result at the end of the semester. If I get it, those will be yours and you can consider them repaid.¡±

    Since Xia Yu had already said so much, the three of them no longer refused.

    All of them said that they would definitely supervise Xia Yu and make sure he did well in his final exams.

    ¡°Xia Yu, does your sister need a younger brother? Do you think I can be her brother too?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I can do it too!¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Xia Yu scolded jokingly.

    ¡°Wow, snacks! And so many fruits! Boohoo, Xia Yu, your sister is my sister going forward!¡±

    ¡°Dream on!¡±

    They yed around in the dormitory and shared snacks and like this, their rtionship became more harmonious.

    ¡­

    After a night of discussion, the topic of Xia Wanyuan slowly climbed to the top of the search rankings and appeared before everyone again.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan only took ten days toplete the filming of ¡®The Long Bad''¡±

    When this topic was brought up, a group of anti-fans, as well as the fans of the novel who had been paying attention to the filming of the drama series, were instantly incensed. They didn¡¯t care about anything else and started scolding her first.

    One of the marketing ounts disyed the photos of Xia Wanyuan leaving and returning to Beijing, and the time difference between the two photos was twelve days.

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. This is the first time I¡¯ve heard of a second female lead finishing filming in twenty days.]

    [Trash Xia Wanyuan destroyed my goddess. When will such a useless person who is unprofessional and has no acting skills get out of the entertainment industry?!]

    [Poor Prince Charming Qin Wu and Goddess Ruan Yingyu. They filmed the drama so conscientiously, yet this woman treated the hard work of others like this!]

    [Get out of the entertainment industry, Xia Wanyuan! Since filming is done in only ten days, it¡¯s not toote to change her out! Get someone else to y the role!]

    [That¡¯s right! Change her out! Get Xia Wanyuan out of the entertainment industry!]

    The voices of those who had seriously coted the number of times the Heavenly Spirit Princess would appear and realized that she didn¡¯t have many scenes were drowned in the sea of public opinion.

    Gradually, passers-by, haters, fans of the original novel, swarmed into ¡°The Long Bad¡± production team under the influence of people with ill intentions.

    One by one, they started to post about boycotting Xia Wanyuan on theirtest Weibo post, asking for a recement. The angry fans of the original novel even gathered together and drew red crosses on the photos. Everyone demanded a recement actress on Weibo.

    In just two hours, there were close to a hundred thousandments.

    The situation was getting more and more serious. Director Yang, who had just returned to the Beijing Film City, had just caught his breath when his subordinate reported the news. He was fuming with anger.

    ¡°Nonsense! They keep asking us to adhere to the original, and we did! And when we film ording to the original, theyin about the role not having enough scenes! Ridiculous!¡±

    Seeing that there was no response from the Weibo ount of the cast and crew of ¡°The Long Bad¡±, the angry fans immediately pushed the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan Heavenly Spirit Princess¡± onto the hot search list.

    The hottest post was a certain fan¡¯s strongint and request for a change in casting. Seeing that the trending topic was getting more popr, the anger of the fans also increased.

    At longst, the production crew of ¡°The Long Bad¡± finally responded with two responses to the outcry of the masses.

    One was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s role description.

    The other was a fifteen-second video.

    All the fans of the original novel who had angrily clicked onto the video went silent after watching it.

    Amidst the scolding on Weibo, a cacophony of different voices slowly appeared.

    [Seems like the Heavenly Spirit Princess doesn¡¯t appear often¡­]

    [I just saw the scenes list. Xia Wanyuan really did finish filming most of the Heaven Spirit Princess¡¯s scenes already.]

    Some logical fans of the original novel had alsoe up with aparison between the scenes in the original novel and scenes from the drama, confirming that Xia Wanyuan had indeed filmed most of her scenes.

    [What the f*ck? You guys still have the mood to discuss this? I¡¯m shocked by the video.]

    [Me too¡­ Is that Xia Wanyuan? I suddenly feel like there¡¯s no need to rece her.]

    [Me too¡­]

    [AHHHHHHHH! She¡¯s so pretty! I take back my words. Don¡¯t rece her!]

    Originally, it was just a trending topic that was upied by fans of the novel. As the rankings slowly rose, many passers-by also started to talk about it.

    The top trending topic was the Weibo ount that strongly used the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± of indulging Xia Wanyuan in cking off and demanded a recement.

    While the second most popr topic was the video that was released by the production team.

    With a curious heart, the passers-by on Weibo wanted to see what the production team had done to make the fans so angry that they demanded a recement.

    Fifteen secondster.

    F*ck!

    Why were they asking for a recement?!!! Were these people crazy?

    The video was only fifteen seconds long. It was obvious that it was an unedited film.

    On the long street,nterns of all colors were arranged on both sides of the city, and pedestrians were everywhere.

    Enshrouded by the waning light, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a light purple dress, stood up. She held a rabbitmp in her hand as she walked towards the camera.

    Slim-waisted with somewhat sloping shoulders, and she had a slender neck that entuated her lithe figure. Thentern cast ayer of warm light on her body, and her whole body was surrounded by a heart-stirring indifference and elegance, like a lotus blooming alone under the moonlight, leisurely and refreshing.

    [Geez, fans nowadays are really hard to please.]

    A small group of passers-by began to speak up for Xia Wanyuan.

    [Yes, she¡¯s pretty, but with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills, will she be able to act as the Heavenly Spirit Princess?]

    Seeing that public opinion was slowly changing, some professional ounts started to change their argument. What was the use of being pretty? Her bad acting skills would still destroy the character.

    [That¡¯s right. Look at her eye-piercing acting. She was like a picture in JPG format. No matter how pretty she looks, she¡¯s just a pretty face.]

    [At least she?<i>has</i>?a pretty face. Let¡¯s see if she can act well after the drama is out.]

    Theizens could not help but click on the short video again.

    ¡®Oh my, she¡¯s really pretty. She has a strong aura too.¡¯

    However, the past photos and videos of Xia Wanyuan were still clearly disyed in thements. It was hard to imagine how such a good-looking person could act so stiffly.

    [Forget it, based on this face and appearance, I won¡¯t scold her for the time being. We¡¯ll talk about it after the drama is released.]

    Thements were chaotic, but they were no longer filled with insults. Although the majority of thements were still skeptical, people were reluctantly honest.

    Within just one hour, the video was yed three million times.

    A short video was sent to the WeChat group called ¡°Four Great Generals¡±.

    ¡°Hey, look at this video my girlfriend sent me. This is the actress who yed the Heavenly Spirit Princess. She¡¯s my goddess!¡±

    In the dormitory where they were all quietly lying on their beds and ying with their newputers, Zhang Zhe¡¯s roar broke the silence.

    ¡°The Long Bad¡± was adapted from a novel written for males, so the audience was mostly male. The two female characters in the original novel were naturally regarded as goddesses by many men.

    And in this dormitory, other than Yang Lin, everyone else had read this novel before. Xia Yu knew that Xia Wanyuan was going to act in the drama, so he had specially downloaded the novel to read a few days before.

    ¡°Holy f*ck! Who is this?! I dere! She¡¯s my goddess from now on!¡±

    ¡°This is the Heavenly Spirit Princess I¡¯ve imagined all my life! Goddamn, she¡¯s beautiful! I can look at her a hundred times!¡±

    No matter how much hatred was stirred among the fans, liking someone was just so simple and straightforward for straight men.

    Xia Yu heard what they said and clicked on the video with a look of disdain. A look of surprise shed past his eyes. ¡®This woman actually looks pretty good in ancient clothes.¡¯

    ¡°I think she¡¯s so-so,¡± Xia Yu remarked mercilessly.

    ¡°Wow! Xia Yu, your expectations are too high! How can she be ¡®so-so¡¯? She is practically a pretty face that only appears once in five thousand years!¡±

    ¡°Xia Yu, I¡¯m telling you. You can scold me, but you can¡¯t insult my goddess. Come out and fight!¡±

    ¡°Tsk, childish,¡± Xia Yu scoffed. However, he was secretly overjoyed by the praises given to Xia Wanyuan by his roommates.

    After getting Xia Yu out of the car, the chauffeur slowly drove around the campus at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request.

    It was time for sses and there were not many people on campus. The campus was green and beautiful. The blue sky and white clouds reflected on the huge ss walls of the stadium, turning the entire stadium blue. On both sides of the road, there were all kinds of banners and signs hung up by clubs to recruit new members. It was amazing how fulfilling college life was.

    The young students were either carrying backpacks, carrying books, or rushing to the ssroom with hurried steps. All of them looked young and energetic.

    In the small buildings hidden in therge trees, one could see young faces that were thirsty for knowledge through the open windows.

    Xia Wanyuan watched enviously.

    She was well-read in poetry, painting, and etiquette, but she had never been to school.

    ¡°University life looks so amazing. It¡¯s a pity I don¡¯t have the chance to experience it.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked away regretfully.

    ¡°Yes, university students are really carefree,¡± the chauffeur said. ¡°But there are no age restrictions in college now. You can get in as long as you pass the exam.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She clearly admired the current education system.

    After returning to the apartment and taking a good rest, she finally felt rxed.

    Once Xiao Bao finished school for the day, the chauffeur brought him back to the apartment.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao ran to the second floor as soon as he got home, and Xia Wanyuan hugged him tightly.

    ¡°How was your day?¡±

    ¡°Mommy, the teacher taught us how to dance today. I¡¯ll dance for you.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    The apartment was filled with joy andughter. But there was no such cheer in the manor. It had returned to its usual solitude.

    ¡°Young Master, the food is ready.¡± Uncle Wang walked towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Little Master has been taken to Miss Xia.¡±

    Without Jun Yin¡¯s chatter in the manor, it seemed even more deserted.

    Taking off his coat, Jun Shiling sat at the dining table, his eyes skimming over the empty seats with ease. In the huge dining room, only the sound of chopsticks asionally touching the tes could be heard.

    Jun Shiling paused for a moment when he picked up the prawns with his chopsticks. Stir-fried prawns were Jun Yin¡¯s favorite dish. He was reminded of how Jun Yin had served him the prawns the day before.

    An indescribable feeling spread in his heart, and Jun Shiling suddenly lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.

    After washing up, Jun Shilingy on the bed. The scent of Xia Wanyuan, mixed with Xiao Bao¡¯s milky scent, still lingered on the pillow where she had slept, causing Jun Shiling to frown suddenly.

    It was a sleepless night.

    ¡­

    The waves of public opinion on the Inte had slowly subsided. It had to be said that the video published by the production team had given everyone a buffering period, and everyone was now waiting for the drama to be aired.

    When the time came, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance would be the deciding factor in how things would develop.

    If she acted well, everyone would be happy.

    If she did not act well, the current calmness would be the calm before an even greater storm.

    It was obvious that 99% of the people in the industry believed that Xia Wanyuan would suffer a severe bacsh. The remaining 1% were the crew members of the drama production team.

    ¡°Good job! This expression! This action! Edit all of them in.¡± The director checked the filmed scenes on the side, talking to the editor excitedly from time to time.

    ¡°Give her more scenes. Let them scold her now. They¡¯ll be shocked speechless when they watch the drama. The viewership ratings will definitely increase then.¡±

    The director was delighted. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan, who had originally been the biggest stain on the drama, would be the highlight in the end?

    ¡­

    Today was likely the most difficult day for the higher-ups of the Jun Corporation.

    Jun Shiling had always been a very strict person, but with high sries came high standards and responsibilities, and everyone had always been very motivated at work.

    But today, Jun Shiling had already rejected five proposals.

    Although Jun Shiling always had a cold expression on his face, it was different today. Even the executives did not dare to go near Jun Shiling. The frosty aura on the Big Boss was practically tangible.

    Everyone looked at Lin Jing for help. ¡°Assistant Lin, we¡¯re depending on you. We don¡¯t dare to go.¡±

    Lin Jing was speechless. As if he wasn¡¯t afraid of Jun Shiling. Picking up thetest acquisition n, he gently knocked on the office door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    ¡°Young Master, this is an acquisition n by Ji Shi Medical Equipment Company. CEO Chen and his team have revised this for the second time.¡±

    Jun Shiling took the document and flipped through it quickly. He frowned and threw it on the table.

    ¡°Have them redo it.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Lin Jing silently lit a candle for his colleagues. ¡®I can¡¯t help you either.¡¯

    The sky darkened. Lin Jing recalled that he had heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice in the previous video conference, however, Jun Shiling seemed to have no intention of getting off work.

    He asked indirectly, ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s gettingte. Should we send a car to fetch Little Master?¡±

    ¡°No need, Xia Wanyuan has taken him home.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Lin Jing, who felt as if he had been seen through.

    ¡°Alright, Young Master. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±

    Lin Jing quickly put away the documents on the table and walked out. But in his heart, he roughly understood why the big boss had be a moving freezer.

    ¡°Redo it.¡± Lin Jing walked out of the office under expectant gazes, and then his words broke everyone¡¯s expectations.

    Ignoring the crowd of employeesmenting behind him, Lin Jing made a call.

    ¡°Hello, is this the principal? Nice to meet you¡­¡±

    ¡­

    In the house of Director Yang, the Yang family was entertaining his daughter¡¯s ssmates.

    ¡°Xiao Nian, you¡¯re so outstanding. You should teach our Xiao Hui some of your ways.¡±

    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re too kind. Xiao Hui is great too. She even won first ce at the school¡¯s speech contest.¡±

    Director Yang was ted by Li Nian¡¯s praise.

    After dinner, Yang Hui sat on the sofa with Li Nian to watch television.

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t I seen your mentor recently?¡± Yang Hui took a bite of the apple.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know how much my mentor loves painting? I heard that there¡¯s an auction in New York. Apparently, a very famous piece of art will appear there, so my mentor went abroadst week. He¡¯ll probably be back in the next two days.¡±

    ¡°How much of your thesis paper have you written?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s almost done. I just have to wait for my mentor toe back and review it.¡±

    Li Nian felt a little bloated after eating an entire apple, so she stood up and stretched a little. Suddenly, she was attracted by a painting on a table not far away.

    Li Nian leaned over. The drawing seemed to have been hastily painted. The paper was slightly wrinkled, but it could not hide the vividness of the rabbit on the drawing.

    There was only arge rock and a few stalks of grass beside the rabbit, but those few simple strokes were enough to make one feel a strong sense of vitality.

    Although Li Nian did not know much about paintings, since she had been with her mentor for a long time, she would know if the painting was a good one.

    ¡°Xiao Hui, did your father draw this?¡±

    ¡°No way. He probably got it from the crew. My dad doesn¡¯t know how to draw.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡±

    Director Yang walked out with the freshly washed strawberries. He was a little confused when he saw his daughter and the guest gathered around the table.

    ¡°Uncle, where did you buy this painting from?¡± Li Nian asked.

    ¡°Nah, I didn¡¯t buy this. The actors in the production team casually drew it for thenterns. They¡¯re not worth much. You can take them if you like.¡±

    Director Yang was surprised that Li Nian liked the painting. Could it be that Xia Wanyuan had some skills? But how valuable could a painting be? Furthermore, it was casually drawn by Xia Wanyuan. Without much thinking, Director Yang gave it to Li Nian.

    ¡°Thank you, Uncle!¡± Although Li Nian did not quite understand, she could show it to her mentor after her mentor came back. Anyway, her mentor liked those kinds of cold and clean styles of paintings.

    <h4>Chapter 35: Principal</h4>

    The next day, the International Kindergarten held a family-themedic and art exhibition.

    ¡°In the end, Little Monkey and its parents lived happily together.¡±

    ¡°The Little Bunny is the baby of Daddy Bunny and Mommy Bunny. Every night, Daddy Bunny will apany Mommy Bunny and their son to visit the carrots that they nted.¡±

    ¡­

    The principal looked at the children in the ssroom worriedly. Why did some parentsin that their family education was not up to standard?

    However, when the principal thought about the various books and toys that the parent whoined had donated, she let out a smile. It seemed that she needed to continue working hard. ¡®Parents¡¯ints should be viewed as a motivation!¡¯

    ¡°Sister Principal, do parents and children live together?¡±

    A baby voice suddenly sounded beside her feet. The principal lowered her head to take a look. ¡®Aiyo, isn¡¯t this the cutest little Jun Yin?¡¯

    His little mouth was too sweet. She was already over thirty years old, yet the cute little dumpling still addressed her as Sister. She couldn¡¯t help but feel ted.

    ¡°Yes, little one. Family members should of course live together.¡±

    The principal smiled as she patted Jun Yin¡¯s head. However, she did not expect that the little dumpling, who always had a pair of smiling eyes, would lower his head sadly. That pitiful look of his made her heart ache.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, little one? Tell Auntie what happened.¡± The principal crouched down and pulled Xiao Bao into her arms. The little cutie in her arms had tears in his eyes.

    ¡°Then why don¡¯t my parents live together?¡±

    The principal was stunned. She guessed that he came from a divorced family, and so her heart ached even more for this delicate little boy.

    ¡°Do Daddy and Mommy love you?¡±

    ¡°Mmm.¡± Xiao Bao nodded vehemently. Although his father always had a cold expression, he would chase away little monsters for him. Even though his mother used to hate him, she would apany him every day now.

    ¡°Although they don¡¯t live together, they love you very much. Their love for you will never change,¡± the principal said as she took a toy from the side and changed the topic. ¡°Let¡¯s y with the giraffes together, okay?¡±

    After the theme exhibition finally ended, the principal returned to her office. Suddenly, she was reminded of Xiao Bao¡¯s pitiful look and opened up the kindergarten student enrollment folder.

    To her surprise, it did not show that Jun Yin was from a divorced family.

    The principal looked at the names written on his parents¡¯ column unhappily. ¡®His parents are too irresponsible. Even if they are not going to continue the marriage, shouldn¡¯t they consider the feelings of their child?¡¯

    She searched for the contact information attached to the back of the folder and made a call.

    ¡°Young Master, the kindergarten is calling.¡±

    Back then, when they were filling in the form, they had considered Jun Shiling¡¯s identity and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s job as an actress. Hence, the names filled in were not their exact names. As a result, the principal did not know that the person on the other end of the phone was the kindergarten¡¯s biggest investor.

    ¡°Hello, is this Jun Yin¡¯s father?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling frowned. ¡®Did Jun Yin beat up his ssmates in kindergarten again?¡¯

    ¡°Have you divorced your wife?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Jun Shiling said after a moment of silence.

    The principal was furious. When she thought of Xiao Bao¡¯s pitiful look, she instantly imagined a rich family drama and started criticizing the child¡¯s father.

    A long tirade began immediately. From the child¡¯s mentality to the growth of his body and mind, as well as his future, the principal covered all of them.

    ¡°I hope that as parents, you will pay more attention to your child¡¯s mental health and create a harmonious and warm family environment for your child. If there is no divorce, please do not live separately. Aplete family will help a child grow up normally in a healthy environment.¡±

    Finally, the principal concluded and stopped talking. She felt that her mouth was parched.

    ¡°Okay. Thank you for your input, Principal. Goodbye.¡±

    Jun Shiling spoke for the second time. His tone was extremely cold. The principal, who had calmed down a little, suddenly became irritated again.

    ¡®Why is the father of this family like this? I can¡¯tmunicate with him at all.¡¯ The principal could only call his mother. After all, a mother should be more easygoing.

    After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling was more than a little annoyed by the scolding. However, he could not deny that what the principal said had gotten to him.

    ¡°I can tell that Jun Yin loves you both very much and wants to live together with his Daddy and Mommy. Actually, he knows everything. He¡¯s very sad, but he doesn¡¯t want to tell you because he¡¯s afraid of making you upset or angry.¡±

    Jun Shiling squeezed the fountain pen in his hand tightly as he felt a little guilty towards Xiao Bao. When he was young, he had suffered alone. Now that he had his own child, he had made his child suffer as he did.

    ¡­

    In the apartment, the coffee by the window had already turned cold. Xia Wanyuan was still listening to the principal on the phone.

    ¡°Yeah, okay. Thank you for your input, Principal. Goodbye.¡±

    Her tone and answer were almost identical to that of the child¡¯s father. The principal was stunned. ¡®What is going on with this family?¡¯

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had brought up her younger siblings. When she found out that her parents had passed away, she was very sensible and did not mention anything about missing her parents in front of them.

    However, there were many times when she would dream about them in the middle of the night. When she was sick and talking in her sleep, she would still subconsciously call for her parents.

    For the first time, Xia Wanyuan felt a little helpless. This era was not like the past, and Xiao Bao¡¯s situation was not like her younger siblings.

    From Xiao Bao¡¯s point of view, his parents had been living separately even though they were married. He must be feeling very sad too.

    In fact, Xiao Bao must have missed Jun Shiling as well. He probably had a nightmarest night and had asked Daddy to help him fight the little monsters.

    At that moment, the phone rang again. He thought it was the principal, but it was a familiar ck profile picture.

    ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone.

    ¡°Did Jun Yin¡¯s kindergarten principal call you?¡± A deep voice came through the phone.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°The divorce agreement in three months will still be effective. During this period of time, stay in the manor and take good care of Jun Yin. When the timees, I¡¯ll give you two more houses on the Third Ring Road.¡±

    They had nned the divorce agreement from the start, but now that it was mentioned, Jun Shiling was not happy at all. Instead, he felt as if there was a rock pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need the house. Xiao Bao is my child too. I didn¡¯t do my duty as a mother before. This is what I owe him.¡±

    ¡°Mmm.¡± Jun Shiling remained silent for a while and said nothing more. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange a car to pick you upter.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Even though Xia Wanyuan had declined, Jun Shiling called the legal department after hanging up the phone and transferred three of the best houses in the city to be under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name.

    Nanny Li lived in the vi with Xia Wanyuan and then moved to the apartment. She had never thought that she would be able to work at the manor too.

    ¡°Miss Xia, everything is packed.¡± Nanny Li packed her luggage excitedly. She was especially excited about going to the manor.

    Not long after, the car that had been sent to pick up Xia Wanyuan arrived. When they arrived at the manor, Nanny Li realized that the things she had packed were unnecessary.

    ¡°Madam.¡± Uncle Wang heard from Jun Shiling that Xia Wanyuan wasing. He was both shocked and relieved at the same time.

    It had been a long time since anyone else had stayed in the manor, not to mention a woman.

    Uncle Wang immediately arranged for people to deliver hundreds of sets of branded outfits, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, including all kinds of jewelry. The entire wardrobe was practically overflowing with attire.

    As for the daily necessities, they were fully equipped.

    ¡®Is Xia Wanyuan really not the real Madam Jun?¡¯ Nanny Li was deeply suspicious. ¡°¡­¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Wang.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that the old man in front of her didn¡¯t have any hostility towards her, but was rather very loving and considerate. Hence, she too, expressed her goodwill with sincerity.

    ¡°Mommy.¡± At this moment, the little dumpling had also arrived home. At first, he had thought that the chauffeur was lying to him. He did not expect that his Mommy had reallye to the manor to live with him!

    Seeing the unconcealed joy and happiness in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan felt that she had made the right choice.

    ¡­

    ¡°Big Boss is leaving on time today.¡±

    ¡°Does it mean that we can get off work on time too? That¡¯s great. I hope this happens every day,¡± the executives gathered together and whispered.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

    The car drove back to the manor slowly. Just as they entered the main gates, Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Yin sitting on thewn not far away through the car window.

    As the sun set, red crimson clouds appeared in the sky, casting a red glow on the mother and son on thewn. Xia Wanyuan looked gentle and quiet with her white-knitted shirt, while Jun Yin, who wore the yellow Pikachu shirt was cute and adorable.

    Jun Shiling looked at the two of themughing and ying on thewn and his eyes were filled with warmth.

    ¡°Daddy¡¯s back!¡± Xiao Bao heard movements, turned his head around, and saw a familiar car. Momentster, Jun Shiling got out of the car exuding his usual cold aura.

    ¡°Why are you rolling on the ground again?¡± Jun Shiling looked at him sternly when he saw the mud on Jun Yin¡¯s clothes.

    ¡°It was an ident.¡± Xiao Bao could not help but move closer to Xia Wanyuan when he saw his father¡¯s cold expression.

    Xia Wanyuan patted his head. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Time to stop ying, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Xiao Bao sprang to his feet, grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, and then carefully ran over to hold Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to eat!¡± Xiao Bao imitated the little rabbit who had held its parents¡¯ hands in the art exhibition today.

    Even though Jun Shiling had just scolded Xiao Bao for getting mud everywhere with a cold expression, he did not reject his small hands that were stained with dirt.

    The three people who were holding hands had three long shadows cast by the setting sun. The afterglow of the crimson clouds shone on them, giving them azy but gentle glow.

    Uncle Wang looked on from afar as the family walked into the house, and his eyes filled with relief.

    ¡­

    ¡°Young Master, Madam, the food is ready.¡± The moment the three of them entered, Uncle Wang weed them.

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously nced at Jun Shiling. He was too busy washing Xiao Bao¡¯s hands, as if he had not heard Uncle Wang call her ¡®Madam¡¯.

    Since the other party was not bothered by it, Xia Wanyuan herself did not dwell on it either.

    The dishes were still the same, but there was clearly moreughter at the dining table today. There was Xiao Bao¡¯s childlike chatter, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle murmurs, and Jun Shiling¡¯s asional simple responses.

    Compared to the huge and gorgeous but extremely cold manor in the past, there was much warmth in the house now. Even Jun Shiling had an extra bowl of rice.

    After the meal, Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao yed with building blocks in the living room. Not only did Xiao Bao enjoy ying them, Xia Wanyuan was very interested in it too as it was her first time ying something like this.

    Jun Shiling was having a meeting in the study. After consecutively passing the third proposal of the night, everyone was certain that the storm was over since the boss¡¯s mood had turned from gloomy to sunny.

    Only Lin Jing still had a professional smile on his face. No one present knew better than him why Jun Shiling had changed.

    After ending a two-hour meeting, Jun Shiling switched off hisptop and walked out of the study. On the carpet downstairs, Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao had already built a pyramid.

    Jun Shiling stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked at them for a while before saying, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Jun Yin, why haven¡¯t you taken a shower?¡±

    Jun Yin raised his head and looked at Jun Shiling, his eyes shining like ck grapes. Since Jun Yin was born, this was the first time Jun Shiling had seen him behave like a child.

    He was like a baby bird that had finally found a safe harbor to shelter itself from the wind and rain. Under the wings of his parents, he could finally rx his guard and rx.

    ¡°Daddy, are we sleeping together today?¡±

    Looking at Xiao Bao¡¯s sparkling eyes, Jun Shiling found himself nodding.

    ¡°Oh yeah! Mommy, I¡¯m going to take a shower. You go too!¡± After Jun Shiling had agreed to his request, Xiao Bao happily rushed into the bathroom, not forgetting to turn around and give Xia Wanyuan a reminder to shower.

    By the time the servants brought Xiao Bao to the bedroom after bathing him, Xia Wanyuan was already lying on the bed, reading a famous biography that Jun Shiling had ced by the bed.

    A ball of milky fragrance burrowed into her bosom. Xia Wanyuan held him with one arm and flipped through a book with the other.

    ¡°Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao was quiet for a while before he suddenly spoke.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m very happy that Mommy, Daddy, and I are living together.¡± Xiao Bao leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan and mumbled.

    ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°Is Mommy happy too?¡± Xiao Bao asked Xia Wanyuan in a serious tone.

    ¡°Why do you ask? Mommy is happy if you¡¯re happy.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped flipping through the book and lowered her head to look at the bundle of joy in her arms.

    ¡°I want Mommy to be happy. Only when Mommy is happy will I be happy.¡± Xiao Bao stared at Xia Wanyuan seriously with his big eyes. The words he said moved her greatly.

    ¡°You¡¯re such a good boy. Mommy is doing very well. Go to sleep, baby. Goodnight.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s backfortingly and kissed his forehead.

    ¡°Mommy, I want to wait for Daddy toe before sleeping.¡± Xiao Bao looked at the door expectantly.

    ¡­

    Xia Wanyuan felt helpless. ¡®Shouldn¡¯t a three-year-old child be quite forgetful?¡¯ Why was her child¡¯s memory so good?

    Half an hour had passed, but Jun Shiling still had not gone to the bedroom. Because Xiao Bao insisted on not sleeping, Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to put on her gown and go out to look for Jun Shiling.

    The person in charge of the Jun family seemed to have boundless glory and power, but standing at such a high position, he definitely had to endure endless pressure.

    If the one in power made even the slightest mistake, it would have an irreversible impact on such arge corporation.

    After quickly reviewing three proposals that were close to 50 pages, Jun Shiling stood up and looked at the stars outside the window.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the door and knocked when she saw lighting from the study.

    ¡°Come in.¡± Jun Shiling continued looking out of the window and did not turn back.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the door. ¡°Will you be done soon? Xiao Bao is waiting for you to sleep.¡±

    He thought that it was Uncle Wang, but a clear female voice came from the door.

    Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a flowery nightgown, standing at the door. She was not wearing any makeup, but it made her look even more beautiful. She was like a pure lotus, calming one¡¯s chaotic emotions.

    ¡°I¡¯ll finish up now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan covered herself with her jacket and walked towards the bedroom while Jun Shiling followed closely behind.

    In the bedroom, Xiao Bao was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open. When he saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling enter, he smiled.

    ¡°Go to sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan got onto the bed and pulled Xiao Bao into her arms. Simr to the previous time, Jun Shiling went to the bathroom to change into his pajamas andid on the other side of the bed.

    Feeling the presence of his father and mother around him, Xiao Bao fell into a deep sleep within half a minute.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at Xiao Bao, who had his eyes closed and long eyshes shut. When she looked up, she met Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. He was about to check on Xiao Bao as well.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes were like an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his emotions. However, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be burned by this gaze. Her face revealed some difort, and she shifted her gaze away awkwardly. Closing her eyes again, she prepared to sleep.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling, who had wanted to check on Xiao Bao, unexpectedly met a pair of clear, bright eyes like those of a forest deer. It was as if her eyes were filled with dew in the night, the bright moon in the sky, and loaded with everyone¡¯s dreams.

    Jun Shiling felt as if that coolness had calmed his heart. But very quickly, he sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s difort and withdrew his gaze. At the same time, he moved closer to the bed, trying to distance himself from Xia Wanyuan.

    Fortunately, they were on a custom-made luxurious bed. There was more than enough space for three people.

    ¡­

    The next morning, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, Jun Shiling was already gone.

    Because there were still a few scenes to shoot for ¡°The Long Bad¡±, Xia Wanyuan had to go to Beijing Film City for a few days.

    When Chen Yun received the message from Xia Wanyuan, he rushed over to fetch her to the production team.

    Chen Yun remained silent as he watched Xia Wanyuan walk out of the manor. He only spoke when Xia Wanyuan came close to him.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, tell me honestly. Did your family get rich again? This is actually a house that your family bought, right?¡±

    ¡°Of course not. If I were so rich, would I need to act as the second female lead?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt a little speechless at Chen Yun¡¯s imagination.

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Chen Yun scratched his head. ¡°But don¡¯t you live here now?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a friend¡¯s house. I¡¯m only staying here for a while.¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to talk about her rtionship with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Oh, then your friend is quite nice.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    When they arrived at the set, everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan upon seeing her. Compared to when she had first joined the production team, the majority of the cast and crew now viewed Xia Wanyuan very differently.

    Initially, everyone had only been biased against Xia Wanyuan because they had heard that she had a bad temper.

    But in reality, Xia Wanyuan was not only good-looking, but her temper was not as bad as the rumors made her out to be. On the contrary, apart from not taking the initiative to interact with others, she could be considered approachable.

    She did notin about being tired during filming, and had high standards for herself. Furthermore, in their eyes, her acting skills were not as bad as what the rumors said.

    ¡°Xiao Xia,e here.¡±

    Director Yang waved at Xia Wanyuan upon her arrival.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Director?¡± Xia Wanyuan thought that something had gone wrong with her scene, so she hurried over to Director Yang.

    ¡°Here¡¯s the thing. Didn¡¯t you draw on antern paper the previous time? I brought it home and my daughter¡¯s ssmate came to visit and saw it coincidentally. She said she quite liked your painting and wanted to get to know you. I wonder if you¡¯re willing for me to give her your contact information?¡±

    Li Nian had asked Yang Hui about it and Director Yang promised her that he would convey Li Nian¡¯s words to the owner of the painting after he couldn¡¯t stand his daughter¡¯s pestering anymore.

    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s not a problem, Director Yang.¡± In fact, in the eyes of the teachers in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting could only be considered to have barely passed. Therefore, Xia Wanyuan had never felt that her painting was that great.

    She was quite happy as she did not expect that there would be a young man in this era who liked her paintings.

    Not far away, Ruan Yingyu was fuming as she watched the film crew express their goodwill towards Xia Wanyuan.

    To think she had even bought those people afternoon tea. It was as if she had fed the dogs! Why hadn¡¯t she seen them behaving so enthusiastically when she returned?

    ¡°Today¡¯s first scene is between Xiao Xia and Xiao Ruan. The two of you should prepare for it properly.¡±

    After reviewing the schedule, Director Yang instructed everyone on how to proceed.

    In order to investigate the mystery of his birth, Lin Xiao brought his sister, Tian Ying Er, to the general¡¯s residence.

    ¡°Have another one, beautiful,¡± the general said,ughing as he fed a grape to his favorite concubine.

    The former Heavenly Spirit Princess, now the most favored concubine in the general¡¯s residence, Shen Pei, weed him with a face full of smiles. Every frown and smile of hers had captivated the general to no end.

    ¡°I am Lin Xiao. I am here to pay my respects to the Great General.¡±

    The dancers and singers dispersed, and two people who looked like an immortal couple appeared. The young man led his innocent and kind sister into the extravagant hall with high spirits.

    When she heard the familiar clear voice, the pampered concubine, who was originally behaving in an overweeningly arrogant manner because she had the general¡¯s love, actually panicked. Her first reaction was to raise her sleeves to cover herself.

    ¡°My dear, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Forcing herself to put down her sleeves, Shen Pei forced a smile when the general noticed her abnormality.

    ¡°General, I¡¯m fine. I just have a headache.¡±

    However, her hands were tightly clenched under her long sleeves. In the close-up shots, her long nails were even embedded in her flesh.

    In the hall, Lin Xiao greeted the general. His actions were full of youthfulness, causing the others in the hall to exim endlessly.

    Shen Pei looked at the young man standing in the hall in sorrow. When Lin Xiao nced at her inadvertently, she even lowered her gaze demurely.

    The banquet had not ended yet, but the lively and active little sister could not help but run to the garden to watch the fireworks. Shen Pei also found an excuse to leave the room.

    The pure and innocent Tian Ying Er watched the fireworks by theke and was in high spirits. Her eyes had the pureness that only one who had been well-protected would possess.

    In contrast, Shen Pei was wearing a colorful dress and dazzling jewelry. However, she looked at the woman in simple clothes in front of her with apparent envy.

    ¡°Brother Lin has his own important matters to attend to. If you follow him like this, you will be a burden to him.¡±

    Tian Ying Er¡¯s eyes were filled with obvious surprise when someone suddenly interrupted her and even mentioned ¡°Brother Lin¡±.

    ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with Senior?¡± Tian Ying Er looked at the woman in luxurious clothes with hostility.

    ¡°What rtionship I have with Brother Lin has nothing to do with you.¡± Hearing Tian Ying Er call him ¡®Senior¡¯, Shen Pei looked even more lonely. She looked at Tian Ying Er with a strange sense of inferiority and pride before turning to leave. ¡°In short, you have always been a burden to Brother Lin.¡±

    ¡°Very good! One take is enough! Prepare for the next scene.¡±

    Needless to say, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was impable, and Qin Wu was a talented actor. Although Ruan Yingyu was a little immaturepared to them, she was still considered one of the more talented young actresses in the new generation. Therefore, Director Yang was very satisfied.

    Lin Xiao, who had stayed in the general¡¯s residence for a few days, gradually unearthed the important keepsake that his parents had left there. The keepsake was kept in the secret chamber of the general¡¯s residence.

    In the dark General¡¯s residence, two ghostly figures slowly crept into the study. Lin Xiao activated the secret switch in the study room and a bookcase slowly moved away.

    ¡°Sister, wait for me here. Let me know if anything happens.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Senior.¡±

    Tian Ying Er watched Lin Xiao enter the secret passage nervously as she paced around the study.

    Suddenly, a cat meowed outside the window. Tian Ying Er, who was already in a mess, jumped in shock and knocked over the vase on the table. The sound of the porcin breaking was like a high-pitched siren in the quiet night.

    The guard outside quickly reacted and kicked open the door of the study. When he saw Tian Ying Er inside, he immediately lunged forward with his sword.

    However, before the guard¡¯s sword could reach Tian Ying Er, it was deflected by a hidden weapon. Lin Xiao, who hade out of the secret room at some point in time, grabbed the frightened Tian Ying Er and dashed out of the window.

    ¡°Catch them!¡±

    All the guards in the general¡¯s residence gathered and searched one room after another. Upon seeing that they were about to find them in the woodshed, Tian Ying Er was so frightened that her eyes were filled with tears.

    At that moment, footsteps came from the door. Lin Xiao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and stared at the door warily.

    The door was pushed open and Lin Xiao, who was hiding behind the door, had already pressed the de of his sword against the person¡¯s throat.

    ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here to save you.¡±

    Lin Xiao heard a familiar voice and turned his face over. That person had beautiful eyebrows and rosy lips. Through the faint light outside, Shen Pei, who had washed off her heavy makeup, reminded Lin Xiao of the beautiful woman under thenterns he met three years ago.

    ¡°It¡¯s you? Miss, why are you here?¡±

    Lin Xiao did not recognize that she was the General¡¯s beloved concubine. Shen Pei was relieved.

    ¡°Don¡¯t ask so many questions. I¡¯ll go out and lure them away. There¡¯s a hidden path to the right of the woodshed, you can leave from thereter.¡±

    ¡°Miss, why are you helping us?¡± Lin Xiao slowly withdrew the sword he was holding at Shen Pei¡¯s throat.

    ¡°Treat it as me returning a favor.¡±

    Shen Pei took a deep look at this man who had appeared in her dreams countless times but had slowly faded from her memory. It was as if she wanted to remember his face forever.

    After that, Shen Pei resolutely walked out of the woodshed and walked towards the ce where the light was dense. However, in Lin Xiao¡¯s eyes, it was as if she had walked into endless darkness, making his heart turn cold.

    The camera zoomed in.

    Shen Pei, who was leaving the woodshed step by step, could not stop her tears from flowing.

    At this moment, Shen Pei, who was walking along the corridor, no longer walked as gracefully the her who was a pampered concubine. Instead, she had regained the royal etiquette that she had not practiced for three years. It was as if she wanted to leave behind herst shred of dignity as a royal.

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s a wrap. We¡¯re done for today, today¡¯s scenes werepleted very well. Everyone has worked hard, so have a good rest!¡±

    Director Yang pped his hands and everyone got out of their characters.

    ¡°Wipe your tears.¡±

    Someone handed a handkerchief to the teary-eyed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No need, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took out a packet of tissues from her wide sleeve and wiped her tears. Only then did she see Qin Wu standing in front of her.

    ¡°We¡¯ve been filming together for so long but we haven¡¯t added each other on WeChat. Miss Xia¡¯s acting skills are really good. I hope we can discuss more about acting in the future.¡±

    Qin Wu looked at Xia Wanyuan rather sincerely, and his eyes showed burning passion.

    Initially, when he first came to the production team, he looked down on Xia Wanyuan. Butter, he slowly realized that she was very different from the rumors.

    He had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had seen many female celebrities, but he had never seen someone like Xia Wanyuan. Not only was she beautiful on the outside, but she also exuded an air of graceful indifference and elegance from within.

    Her eyes were as clear as the first drops of dew in the morning, making one involuntarily drown in them.

    Many people said that an outstanding actor would immerse himself in the character and be one with the character.

    He and Xia Wanyuan did not have many scenes together, but every time they acted together, he would see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shy expression and the pair of eyes that were filled with him and him alone. The camera shots could not capture the warmth, but he knew how passionate his heart was at that time.

    After asking around, although Xia Wanyuan had some scandals, it seemed like she was single at the moment, so he wanted to give it a try.

    ¡°Also, we¡¯re about to end the filming for this drama and start our publicity campaigns. We should add each other on WeChat so that we can keep in contact,¡± added Qin Wu when he saw Xia Wanyuan hesitating.

    ¡°Fine. Add me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan agreed after hearing what Qin Wu said.

    After adding each other on WeChat, Qin Wu knew his limits and left happily.

    Xia Wanyuan was somewhat baffled as to why Qin Wu was suddenly so excited.

    After all, in her previous life, she had spent all her time devising strategies for the sake of reviving her country. She had never fallen in love or had a rtionship, so she was a little slow at knowing the intentions behind men who expressed goodwill to her.

    Ruan Yingyu was sitting in front of the mirror in the dressing room. Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, she gave her a contemptuous look.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Ruan Yingyu nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s makeup remover with eyes that were filled with ridicule. ¡°It looks like the Xia family has really gone bankrupt. The great Miss Xia has actually been reduced to using this kind of third-rate product.¡±

    ¡­

    Xia Wanyuan had no knowledge of the current cosmetics brands. Those were all prepared by the production team.

    Upon hearing Ruan Yingyu¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan seemed to understand something. The entertainment industry was a ce where one stepped on the weak and ttered the strong. Even the distribution of items depended on the person.

    Xia Wanyuan put down the makeup remover in her hands. Although the person beside her spoke in an annoying manner, it gave her a reminder.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not react, Ruan Yingyu felt as if she had punched cotton. ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t you hear what I said?¡±

    ¡°Then don¡¯t you know that I have a name?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned and looked directly at Ruan Yingyu. Her imposing gaze caused a chill to crawl up Ruan Yingyu¡¯s spine.

    ¡°Just who are you pretending to be? Your family has gone down in the world. Or did you forget?¡± Ruan Yingyu suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. There was nothing to be afraid of since the Xia family was already bankrupt, she thought. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, your face is really pretty.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s tone suddenly changed as she looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face with a twisted expression. Her facial features were average, and her main focus was to be pure and fresh. However, that narrowed the range of character types that she could portray.

    ¡°Young Master Xuan likes people like you the most.¡± Ruan Yingyu smiled mysteriously. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, don¡¯t forget my kindness when you be rich in the future.¡±

    After speaking, Ruan Yingyu did not bother to wait for Xia Wanyuan to react and threw the makeup remover on her table into the bin in front of her. She then walked out smugly.

    Contrary to Ruan Yingyu¡¯s expectations, Xia Wanyuan did not have much of a reaction. After all, she had no impression of whoever Young Master Xuan she had mentioned.

    ¡­

    In the luxurious vi by the beach of Hawaii, miserable screams could be heard.

    ¡°Continue screaming. You know I like it.¡± The half-naked man was holding a whip and whipping the woman who was already bruised all over on the bed. It waspletely different from ordinary sex. This man put in real strength.

    The woman on the bed had tears streaming down her face, and her skin was already starting to bleed.

    ¡°Young Master Xuan, please let me go. I beg you.¡± The woman could not resist any longer. Her chest was filled with the smell of rust. She shouldn¡¯t have listened to her manager¡¯s nonsense and used this method to exchange for resources!!

    ¡°Beg me? Sure, I¡¯ll let you go.¡± The gloomy man smiled evilly. Although he said that he would let her go, his hand holding the whip raised even higher.

    ¡°Crack!¡± A loud p resounded throughout the vi.

    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Her fragile skin finally tore, and endless blood gushed out from the enormous wound caused by the vicious whipping. The woman¡¯s miserable cries seemed to make the man even more excited. He raised the whip and was about tosh out again when his WeChat notification rang.

    There was a sh of ruthlessness in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. He took the phone beside him. It was the little actress who had contacted him throughyers of connections.

    He did not like the kind of in and simple person like her. He wanted to delete her contact immediately, but he did not as she said she would give him someone good.

    The other party sent him a video. Xuan Sheng opened it and his eyes gradually lit up with interest.

    The video showed a scene of the drama that was secretly taken from the side. A gorgeous beauty dressed in luxurious clothes was walking under the moonlight. As she walked, lotuses bloomed with every step she took. She had an indescribably noble aura, and the tears that kept falling from her eyes made her look more pitiful.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up. He could be said to have had countless women, but he had never seen such a woman who was both firm and gentle. It was as if there was a coldness that originated from the peak of an iceberg in her bones. It made him wonder what it would be like to see this iceberg melt.

    After sending a message to the other party, Xuan Sheng put his phone away and looked at the woman who was shivering on the bed. The image of that elegant noblewoman appeared in his mind and he suddenly lost all interest in the woman on the bed.

    ¡°Someone, throw her out.¡±

    As expected, she received a satisfactory reply from Young Master Xuan on the other end of the line. Ruan Yingyu¡¯s lips curved upwards. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, how long can you live in Young Master Xuan¡¯s hands with just your face?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, on the other hand, waspletely unaware of these matters. She was somewhat speechless as she epted Li Nian¡¯s praise.

    Not long after Ruan Yingyu left, Xia Wanyuan received a friend request from Li Nian. Because Director Yang had introduced her, Xia Wanyuan quickly epted it.

    She did not expect that Li Nian would call her by all sorts of titles¡ªsenior, expert, and master. This caught her off guard.

    Li Nian¡¯s one-sided conversation and praises continued for ten minutes before she carefully asked, ¡°I wonder when Master will be free. My mentor likes your paintings very much. He hopes to meet you and discuss with you more about painting.¡±

    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s do it this weekend.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed readily. It was rare for someone to praise her painting. After all, in her previous life, her teacher had been resentful of her for failing to meet his expectations, saying that her painting was wed.

    ¡°Okay! Thank you so much! See you this weekend!¡±

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s promise, Li Nian happily went to report the good news to her mentor.

    Seeing how young Xia Wanyuan looked in her profile picture, Li Nian hesitated for a moment before making up an exnation saying ¡°Master might just be young at heart.¡±

    Hence, both her mentor and Li Nian assumed that the owner of the painting was an old woman with gray hair.

    ¡°Wanyuan.¡± Chen Yun had unconsciously changed the way he addressed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Did you forget your Weibo password?¡±

    Weibo could be said to be a very important tform for publicity and to know public opinion. Many of the film crew members followed each other on Weibo and shared posts.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had not updated her Weibo for very long, seemed out of ce among the group of seemingly intimate cast members.

    The news online about her being arrogant and being isted by the production team was spreading like wildfire.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was not too familiar with how Weibo worked, and she did not have the time or energy to maintain her Weibo ount. The moment she went up, she was met with all sorts of insults and even bloody photos. She did not understand why these people could be so hostile towards a stranger.

    ¡°What should I post?¡± Xia Wanyuan logged onto her Weibo ount, which had long been forgotten by her.

    ¡°You can repost the Weibo posts of the production team and the relevant casts to create an atmosphere of a good rtionship. At the same time, you can also share things about your daily life.¡± After Chen Yun said that, he added, ¡°Just stop posting photos of those shy bags and jewelry.¡±

    That day, Xia Wanyuan reposted more than ten members of the film crew, including the director, the photographer, the gaffer, Qin Wu, and the third female lead. Only Ruan Yingyu¡¯s post was not reposted.

    As theizens scrolled through Weibo, they suddenly realized that their homepage had been flooded. The main point was that there wasn¡¯t even an original Weibo post. Theizens were forced to watch the daily filming lives of the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    ¡°Look at your so-called daughter and son. Ever since what happened, have they ever called to ask about you? Why wouldn¡¯t you believe me when I said they were ingrates?¡±

    In the Xia family¡¯s vi that was about to be auctioned off, Han Yuan rubbed her nine-month pregnant belly and looked indignantly at Father Xia, who was twenty years older than her.

    She was furious. Back then, because the Xia family was rich, she had taken advantage of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s birth mother¡¯s illness and, as a nurse, secretly hooked up with Father Xia, who often came to the hospital.

    Who would have thought that the Xia family would go bankrupt after she had chased away Xia Wanyuan? That wench was always at odds with her and she despised her with every fiber of her being.

    ¡°You¡¯re so useless.¡± Han Yuan was no longer as gentle as she usually was in front of Father Xia. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

    ¡°Yuan, we are bankrupt, but we still have a few properties. My ex-wife still has over a million dors in her ount. If we spend it sparingly, I will definitely be able to support you and our child.¡±

    It seemed that Father Xia¡¯s hair had turned partially gray. He was not angry at Han Yuan¡¯s usation. Instead, his red eyes were filled with regret and guilt.

    After all, he was the one who had trusted someone else¡¯s investment n and invested tens of millions of dors into it, causing the Xia family¡¯s capital chain to break and lead to bankruptcy.

    ¡°Over a million?! Xia Yuanqing, do you think we¡¯re dealing with a beggar here?!¡± Han Yuan was instantly enraged.

    Every year when she went back for the New Year, she would return home in a luxurious car. Among those sisters whom she had bought street goods together with her when they were young, everyone knew that she had married well.

    A few days ago, she had told her rtives that she was going to bring them to Europe. Now, Xia Yuanqing actually said that he was going to rely on only a million dors to support her. How could he afford it?!

    ¡°Yuan.¡± Father Xia stepped forward, wanting to hold Han Yuan¡¯s hand, but his hand was abruptly flung away.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that daughter of yours married to a big shot?¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband, Han Yuan was filled with envy and gloating.

    ¡°Go and beg your daughter. Ask her to talk to Master Jun. Hasn¡¯t Master Jun always wanted a divorce? Then get him to pay a divorce fee.¡±

    ¡°How can they do that?! What would Wanyuan do after the divorce?! Besides, could that person from the Jun family be so easily threatened?!¡± Hearing Han Yuan mention Xia Wanyuan, Father Xia instantly became agitated.

    Although he and Xia Wanyuan had gradually distanced themselves over the years, and Xia Wanyuan had hated him a lot because of Han Yuan, she was still his flesh and blood.

    Even when the Xia family was in its most difficult time, he did not even think of begging Jun Shiling because he knew that Jun Shiling would not help him. A man like that would not be threatened at all.

    That was also the reason why even though Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were married, he had never dared to publicize that he was Jun Shiling¡¯s father-inw. What would happen to him would probably be worse than bankruptcy.

    ¡°Fine! Just take care of your ungrateful daughter! Let me tell you, when this child is born, I will never let you see him!¡± Han Yuan lost her temper and yelled at Father Xia before mming the door and leaving.

    In the house, Father Xia stood dejectedly in the room and let out a deep sigh.

    ¡­

    Meanwhile, in the production team, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s filming had already ended, and the Jun family had sent a chauffeur to pick her up.

    Everyone¡¯s faces turned as pale as a paint tray after Xia Wanyuan got into the world-ss luxury car.

    ¡°Tsk, I didn¡¯t expect that Princess Xia had be even richer after the Xia family went bankrupt.¡± Ruan Yingyu¡¯s assistant pretended to sigh unintentionally. ¡°Although her biological father could not give her money anymore, it seems that her godfather has probably given her even more.¡±

    It was time to get off work, so many people were passing by. As those words spread, they slowly evolved into fake news saying that ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s godfather drove a luxury car to the production team to fetch her home and someone saw it with their own eyes.¡±

    As she had already left, Xia Wanyuan could no longer hear what everyone wasmenting about her. At that moment, she was sitting in the silent car, looking at Jun Shiling with curiosity.

    She thought that it was just the chauffeur, but she did not expect to see a pair of deep eyes the moment she got into the car.

    After exchanging greetings, the car fell into a strange silence.

    The journey was long. Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window for a while, then searched for things in the car that she could do to kill time.

    Jun Shiling, who had been reading documents with his head lowered, suddenly pulled out a book and ced it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out for the book and read the synopsis. It was quite interesting, so she began to read it seriously.

    For a moment, there was only the sound of flipping pages in the car. It was quiet and peaceful, filling the car with an inexplicable sense of harmony.

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back and visit Grandpa tomorrow.¡±

    The journey was silent. Jun Shiling only spoke when the car gradually drove into the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled herself out of her book that she read halfway. Looking at the time, it had been almost a month since she had seen Old Master.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan readily agreed.

    When they arrived at the manor, the chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door for Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling got out of the car but did not leave immediately.

    He stood at the door and waited for Xia Wanyuan to get out of the car. He used his hand to block the door, in case Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head hit the roof.

    The chauffeur was so shocked that his eyes widened, while Xia Wanyuan remained calm.

    It was mainly because she had always watched those television dramas on Strawberry TV where many men would do the same, so she had tacitly agreed to Jun Shiling¡¯s gentlemanly behavior. However, she had forgotten that Jun Shiling was not a gentleman, nor was he someone who could escort anyone out of the car.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and nodded slightly at Jun Shiling. When he met those smiling eyes, Jun Shiling retracted his hand and shook hands.

    The garden had just been watered, and there was water dripping from the petals on the path of the stones.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the gorgeous blooming peach blossoms by the roadside and reached out to ce one on the bedside table.

    Unexpectedly, the branch of the peach blossom was somewhat tall. Xia Wanyuan stood on her toes slightly, but the gravel road was soaked. How could it bear the pair of eight-centimeter high heels?

    Xia Wanyuan slipped and twisted her ankle from her high heels to the ground.

    She fell to the side and screamed.

    Jun Shiling, who had been walking behind Xia Wanyuan and had just answered the call, rushed to her side almost instantly.

    Xia Wanyuan had wanted to rely on her own strength to stand firm, but she didn¡¯t expect to feel a heart-wrenching pain from her ankle. If it was in her previous life, she could easily ovee it.

    But in this life, Xia Wanyuan was so delicate that she could not exert any strength after spraining her ankle. Xia Wanyuan could only fall in the direction of thewn, hoping that it would be lighter.

    However, the pain she expected did note. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

    The smell of a mature man¡¯s cologne wafted over from the shop. Xia Wanyuan raised her head and saw a firm line of jawline.

    ¡°Is everything okay?¡±

    Feeling the warmth in his arms, Jun Shiling tensed up slightly. He calmly helped Xia Wanyuan up, but she had seriously sprained her leg. A slight movement would be as if ten thousand needles were stabbing into her.

    Xia Wanyuan fell into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms again.

    ¡­

    Jun Shiling reached out to hug Xia Wanyuan. Looking at her lowered eyes, he suddenly bent down and carried her, then steadily walked into the manor.

    As he was in too much of a hurry and could not hang up on the call, the other party was forced to hear the entire conversation.

    A delicate cry of ¡®aiyo¡¯, and a cry of pain that made one¡¯s heart ache.

    Bo Xiao, on the other end, could not help but let his imagination run wild.

    But what surprised him the most was that a woman¡¯s voice actually appeared beside Jun Shiling?! And from the sound of it, the two of them were very close. This sounded like a fantasy story.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to pick her up directly. Through the thin shirt, the heat from Jun Shiling¡¯s body spread to Xia Wanyuanyer byyer. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheeks involuntarily flushed red.

    The sky was dyed red and purple by the setting sun. The afterglow hugged the backs of the two of them. Compared to the multicolored light that filled the sky and the sea of flowers, this pair of figures seemed to be even more moving.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu over.¡±

    From afar, he saw Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan over. Uncle Wang did not dare to go forward. When he got closer, he saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s right foot was already swollen.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll inform them immediately.¡±

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan up to the second floor and ced her on the bed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Xia Wanyuan bent down to remove her shoes.

    Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling squatted down in silence and gently untied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoces.

    His hot palm formed a strong contrast with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jade-like feet. Xia Wanyuan shrank her toes in embarrassment.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept across the toes that were shrinking shyly like seashells. His hands curled up involuntarily, and he couldn¡¯t help but think of the smooth and tender sensation he had just experienced.

    Instantly, his mouth went dry. ¡°Lie down properly. The doctor will be here soon.¡± Just as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling quickly left the bedroom without even looking at Xia Wanyuan.

    ??

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward to take a sniff.?<i>My feet didn¡¯t stink either. Why was this person reacting so strongly??</i>

    By the time Jun Shiling entered the bedroom, Shen Xiu was already sitting in front of the bed, examining Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound.

    ¡°It¡¯s your ankle. Let me apply some medicine for you. Remember to change it once a day. You can ice it two to three times a day to help with your recovery.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, doctor.¡±

    Her clear voice made Shen Xiu look up at the woman who had appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s bedroom.

    Her facial features were indeed moving, but Shen Xiu felt that he had seen her face somewhere before.

    Even when he heard footsteps behind him, Shen Xiu still could not figure out where he had seen Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°How is she?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. She¡¯ll be fine after resting for a few days and putting on the ice diligently.¡±

    Shen Xiu was young, but he had excellent medical skills. Hence, he was a long-term family doctor of the Jun family. Since he said that it was nothing serious, Jun Shiling did not probe further.

    After applying the medicine, Shen Xiu followed Jun Shiling downstairs, leaving Xia Wanyuan sound asleep.

    When she woke up again, she was woken up by a delicate fragrance. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and saw arge bouquet of peach blossoms in the green porcin vase on the bedside table.

    In the living room downstairs, Shen Xiu had just left when Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang again.

    ¡°Hello?¡± Jun Shiling picked up the phone.

    ¡°Oh, my Great Master Jun, is that all?¡± The man¡¯s teasing voice came through the phone.

    Jun Shiling was stunned for a moment. When he realized what Bo Xiao was referring to, his eyes turned cold. ¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡±

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong! Young Master Jun! I have something important to tell you.¡±

    ¡°You better have serious matters to attend to.¡± The coldness in Jun Shiling¡¯s words could be felt even through the Pacific Ocean.

    ¡°Old K and the rest are probably going to make a move soon. I¡¯m preparing to return to China in two days.¡± Bo Xiao finally lost his teasing spirit and his tone was filled with seriousness.

    ¡°Thene back. The Bo family needs you anyway.¡± Jun Shiling thought for a moment and agreed with Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Mmm, but will I be able to see that beautiful woman of yours when I¡¯m back? I¡¯m really curious what kind of fairy can make our cold-hearted Young Master Jun have such thoughts?¡±

    After Bo Xiao was done talking about serious matters, he started to be indecent again. Before he could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already hung up the phone.

    Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, a smile shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes.

    <i>Five yearster, I¡¯m back in China.?</i>

    ¡°Daddy, where¡¯s Mommy?¡±

    After school, Xiao Bao skipped into the house. He looked around and did not see Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Stay here and do your homework. Your mother has sprained her ankle, so she¡¯s resting. Don¡¯t disturb her.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Why did Mommy sprain her ankle? Daddy, didn¡¯t you protect Mommy well?¡± Hearing that Xia Wanyuan was injured, Xiao Bao was worried and looked at Jun Shiling reproachfully.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    ¡°Do your homework.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned cold.

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao sat down reluctantly beside Jun Shiling.

    Shen Xiu walked out of the manor. It was only when he returned home and heard his second-year sister muttering to herself that he suddenly recalled seeing a simr picture on her phone.

    ¡°Shen Xing,e here.¡±

    ¡°Brother, what are you doing? I¡¯m helping my male god in his rankedpetitions.¡± Shen Xing was in her adolescence and was madly in love with the popr Best Actor, Yan Ci, as she had her posters stered everywhere in the house.

    ¡°Who was the person you told me about that had an affair with your idolst time?¡±

    ¡°There are many people who want to tie up my husband to hype things up. Which one are you talking about?¡±

    Shen Xing chewed on her gum and gave him a contemptuous look. ¡®Don¡¯t you know how popr my idol is?¡¯

    ¡°Shen Xing, you¡¯re a girl! Let me tell you one more time. If you call another stranger your husband, I¡¯ll cut off your allowance.¡± Shen Xiu had a headache dealing with his younger sister, who was a fan of celebrities in her adolescence.

    ¡°Pft.¡± Shen Xing was not convinced, but she did not dare to lose her allowance. She quickly made a face at Shen Xiu.

    ¡°Thest time you threw your phone in anger.¡± Shen Xiu rubbed his temples.

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re talking about that Xia Wanyuan?¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Shen Xing recalled how Xia Wanyuan had hooked her arm around Yan Ci¡¯s arm in front of so many people back then, causing the phrase ¡°Yan Ci Xia Wanyuan¡± to be trending on Weibo for three days.

    As for someone like Xia Wanyuan, who had been notorious for her misdeeds, there were no fans of celebrities in the entertainment industry who wanted their idol to be associated with her.

    Yan Ci had many female fans, and this hadpletely ignited the anger of her fans and became the final blow to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity.

    ¡°Show me the photos.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to search on Baidu yourself? I don¡¯t want that woman¡¯s photo to appear on my phone. My memory is all reserved for my hus¡­¡± Seeing that Shen Xiu was about to re up, Shen Xing quickly changed her words.¡± It¡¯s reserved for the handsome Yan Ci. ¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Shen Xiu didn¡¯t want to speak to his sister anymore. If he did, he would be angered to death.

    Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Shen Xiu searched for the name Xia Wanyuan in the search bar. The first popr post he uploaded was the Weibo post that had boycotted and used Xia Wanyuan.

    Scrolling down further, he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s airport photo. Looking at the face he had seen an hour ago, Shen Xiu felt as if he had discovered something incredible.

    ¡°Brother, why are you looking at her? Don¡¯t tell me you like this woman?! Let me tell you! If this sister-inwes in, you won¡¯t have me as your sister.¡± Shen Xing leaned over to look at Shen Xiu¡¯s phone and happened to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s airport photo on the screen.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Shen Xiu rolled his eyes at Shen Xing. Ignoring the fact that he had no thoughts about it, even if he did, he had to have the courage to do so.

    ¡°Go and fight your ranked game. Don¡¯t bother me.¡±

    In the manor, a phone suddenly rang in the quiet hall.

    ¡°Daddy, I think it¡¯s Mommy¡¯s phone.¡± Xiao Bao pointed at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bag on the sofa. Jun Shiling had carried Xia Wanyuan up to the second floor earlier, so he did not bring her bag up.

    The phone rang for a long time before stopping. However, it rang again after three seconds.

    Thinking that Xia Wanyuan was probably still asleep, Jun Shiling took her bag and took out her phone.

    It was an unknown number. Jun Shiling pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Hello, hello. Is this Master Xia?¡± A hearty voice came from the other end of the line.

    ¡­

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. ¡°Teacher Zhong?¡±

    ¡°Hey, hello. Li Nian has already introduced me to you? That¡¯s good too. May I know when we should meet this weekend?¡± Zhong Wei was a little confused. Didn¡¯t Li Nian say that the master was a woman? Why was it a man who answered the phone? (italics)

    ¡°Teacher Zhong, I¡¯m Jun Shiling.¡±

    Jun Shiling had studied abroad in London eight years ago, when Zhong Wei happened to be in London as a visiting schr.

    Although Zhong Wei was a professor of the finance department, he highly respected traditional Chinese literature and arts. Back then, Jun Shiling had bought a famous painting of mountains and rivers in China at an auction at a high price, which attracted Zhong Wei¡¯s attention.

    Later on, when they met in ss, Zhong Wei did not have the airs of a teacher. Although he did not teach Jun Shiling directly, he had given him a lot of help and advice. After returning to China, Jun Shiling would send people to send gifts to the old man every year.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?!¡± Elder Zhong did not realize it at first. Now that Jun Shiling had revealed his identity, Zhong Wei finally reacted. ¡°Why did you answer the phone?¡±

    ¡°The owner of the phone is resting, so I helped her answer it. Why are you looking for her?¡± Jun Shiling was also very puzzled. How did Elder Zhong get involved with Xia Wanyuan? (italics)

    Elder Zhong could only tell him the whole story. ¡°So that master was invited by your family. No wonder her standards are so high.¡± Zhong Wei thought that Master Xia had been recruited by the Jun family. After all, with the wealth and power of the Jun family, it was indeed not difficult to find such a talent.

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell her when she wakes upter. Let¡¯s meet again when we have the chance, Elder Zhong.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were dark. ¡®Master Xia?¡¯ (italics)

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling nced at the second floor. Extremely good at painting? A master of Chinese arts? How much more did she have that I didn¡¯t know? (italics)

    ¡°Daddy, I want to go up and visit Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao had also finished his homework and was looking at Jun Shiling eagerly.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s permission, Xiao Bao ran upstairs, but when he reached the corridor on the second floor, he slowed down and tried not to make any noise.

    He tiptoed to the door and carefully pushed it open.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re awake!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Xia Wanyuan reading on the bed.

    ¡°I just woke up. Come here.¡± There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She put down the book in her hand and waved at Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao ran to the bed and gently pulled open the nket. When he saw her feet that were still swollen after being bandaged with the medicine, his big eyes were filled with heartache.

    ¡°Mommy, does it hurt?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore after applying the medicine.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll blow on it for you.¡± Xiao Bao imitated how Xia Wanyuan usuallyforted him and puffed on her feet.

    Xia Wanyuan was relieved to see how sensible Xiao Bao was.

    On the other side of the ocean, it was the umpteenth time Xuan Sheng had flipped open the video of the beautiful woman weeping under the moonlight. His eyes flickered with passion as he drank a mouthful of strong wine, and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed.

    ¡°Jack, book me a flight back to China tomorrow.¡±

 Chapter 43 - Bad Daddy

    <h4>Chapter 43: Bad Daddy</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°Little Master, it¡¯s time to go down for dinner.¡±

    When it was time for dinner, the servant called Jun Yin from outside the door.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, because it was inconvenient for her to move, Uncle Wang sent the food to the bedroom.

    God knew that back then, even the cleaners did not dare to move anything in Jun Shiling¡¯s bedroom. Now, even the food was brought to the master bedroom. Uncle Wang looked at Xia Wanyuan with an increasingly loving gaze.

    Looking at the food on the table by the bed, Xiao Bao could not take it anymore. ¡°I want to eat in the bedroom too. I want to eat with Mommy.¡±

    ¡°Little Master, Young Master is still waiting for you downstairs.¡± The servant didn¡¯t dare to speak harshly to Jun Yin and could only persuade him carefully.

    ¡°No! I want to eat here.¡± Xiao Bao wanted to stick to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Little Master¡­¡± The servant was in a difficult position.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xiao Bao buried his face in the nket, as he wanted to stay here.

    Unexpectedly, footsteps suddenly came from the door. Before Xiao Bao could react, a pair ofrge hands had grabbed the back of his cor.

    ¡°You¡¯re being wilful again.¡± A maic voice sounded, and Xiao Bao subconsciously shrunk his neck.?<i>Oh no!?</i>

    Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up from the bed with his legs, while Xiao Bao grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and kicked him non-stop.

    However, his strength was much weaker than Jun Shiling¡¯s, so he could only begrudgingly be dragged out of the room.

    Until they sat at the dining table, Xiao Bao still pouted his chubby little face and unterally started to fight Jun Shiling.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t eat properly, you¡¯ll sleep alone tonight.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao¡¯s angry face and said coldly.

    ¡°So what if I sleep on my own? Hmph, bad Daddy.¡±

    Xiao Bao nced at Jun Shiling angrily. He had wanted to have a backbone and not eat.

    However, the kindergarten had organized a game in the afternoon. He ran all over the ce and his stomach growled at the right time as he was already hungry.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips twitched. He peeled off Jun Yin¡¯s favorite braised chicken wings.

    Looking at the chicken wings wrapped in the sauce, Xiao Bao swallowed hard. Without needing Jun Shiling to remind him, he picked up his chopsticks and buried his head in the fragrant food.

    At night, Jun Shiling did not allow Jun Yin to sleep with Xia Wanyuan due to her injured leg.

    Since Xia Wanyuan was lying in the master bedroom and could not move, Jun Shiling and Jun Yin slept in the bedroom that had been prepared for Xia Wanyuan.

    Considering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s preferences, the bedroom was decorated with a youthful charm. The light pink color made the entire room look dreamlike.

    However, it did not match the cold and imposing Jun Shiling who had just walked out of the bathroom.

    Xiao Bao, who called him ¡®bad Daddy¡¯ when he was eating, said that he could sleep alone.

    At this moment, he was waiting for Jun Shiling toe and sleep with him with his eyes wide open.

    ¡°Daddy carry me. There¡¯s a little monster.¡±

    After spending some time together, Xiao Bao was no longer afraid of Jun Shiling, as he often relied on him and whined to him.

    Jun Shiling looked at his son with some disdain. In the end, he still got onto the bed and allowed little Meatball to wrap herself around him.

    Jun Shiling, who was instantly wrapped in the milky fragrance, looked at the decorations in Princess Fantasy¡¯s room and frowned.

    Now that the woman was sleeping on his bed, he, as the rightful owner of the manor, had to sleep in the guest room.

    She¡¯s pushing her luck. (italics)

    Although Jun Shiling hade to a conclusion about Xia Wanyuan in his heart, there was no coldness in his deep eyes.

    The next day was the weekend. He had originally nned to go back to the old residence to visit the old master, but his ns had been dyed due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injury.

    In the past, it was pretty good for Jun Shiling to bring Jun Yin along himself. However, ever since the old master saw the words left behind by Xia Wanyuanst time, he insisted that Xia Wanyuan visit him with them no matter what.

    Jun Shiling had no choice but to tell the Old Master about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injury. Coincidentally, the Old Master was having a gathering with his formerrades this week, so he agreed to let them visit next week.

    Last night, Jun Shiling had told Xia Wanyuan about Elder Zhong¡¯s call.

    Xia Wanyuan called Elder Zhong but didn¡¯t pick up. Thinking that he should be resting already, she discussed with Li Nian and agreed to meet him at the manor at ten o¡¯clock today.

    The moment Elder Zhong saw that she was at Jun Shiling¡¯s house, he naturally agreed readily. He admired this youngster very much.

    It had been a long time since he had contacted Elder Zhong. Since he had called yesterday, Jun Shiling was not in a hurry to go to the office today. Instead, he stayed in the manor to work.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Uncle Wang suddenly appeared beside the sofa and bowed respectfully. ¡°Madam wants to take a seat in the garden, but her foot injury is inconvenient.¡±

    In fact, things that could be solved with a stretcher and a wheelchair were not things that a smart and experienced professional butler should have disturbed Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Uncle Wang coldly, who lowered his head slightly. He naturally knew that Jun Shiling had seen through his thoughts.

    There was a long silence, so long that Uncle Wang thought that he had guessed Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts wrongly and had touched on Jun Shiling¡¯s forbidden zone.

    Jun Shiling put down his work and got up to go upstairs.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling appeared at the staircase with Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a soft yellow knitted dress.

    Xia Wanyuan was still a little confused until she was carried out.

    Just as she was about to ask the two nannies to help her out, Jun Shiling suddenly pushed open the door and entered. He frowned when he saw her hopping around with her hands on her knees.

    Before she could ask what Jun Shiling was doing here, the nannies on both sides had already handed her hands to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling picked her up like he did yesterday.

    It was easy for one to fall down the stairs, so Xia Wanyuan could not help but tighten her grip on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulders.

    The fragrance in his arms drifted past his nose. When Jun Shiling lowered his head, he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long eyshes that were like a fan.

    Even though he was carrying someone, Jun Shiling¡¯s movements were as stable as a rock. It was just that his movements were much slower, as if he was afraid of letting go of the person in his arms.

    Just as he carried Xia Wanyuan to a chair prepared in the garden, he heard footsteps in the distance.

    A young woman walked over with a hale and hearty old man with a head of white hair.

    ¡°Elder Zhong.¡± Facing this respected old man, Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude was rather humble.

    ¡°Xiaojun.¡± Elder Zhongughed loudly and strongly.

    When he got closer, Elder Zhong realized that there was a very beautiful woman sitting beside Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Is this your wife?¡± Elder Zhong was confused.?<i>Why hadn¡¯t I heard that Jun Shiling was married??</i>

    Ignoring the fact that he had some ties with Jun Shiling, just based on Jun Shiling¡¯s current status in China, him getting married should be earth-shattering news.

    ¡°Elder Zhong, I am Xia Wanyuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Elder Zhong.

    Elder Zhong was stunned for a moment before he recalled that the Chinese arts master he had arranged to meet was also called Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Could it be?!</i>

 Chapter 44 - Boneless Painting

    <h4>Chapter 44: Boneless Painting</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°You¡¯re the one who agreed to meet me?!¡±

    Zhong Wei looked at this overly beautiful woman in disbelief.

    ¡°Yes, Elder Zhong. Thank you for liking my painting.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was neither servile nor overbearing as she admitted rather graciously.

    Li Nian, who was behind Elder Zhong, was shocked the moment she saw Xia Wanyuan.<i>?Wasn¡¯t this the woman on the WeChat profile picture that I contacted every day? Could it be that the Chinese arts master whom my mentor respected so much was actually such a beautiful and young woman?!</i>

    ¡°That¡¯s incredible.¡± Elder Zhong was not a person who doubted others¡¯ abilities because of their age. Otherwise, he would not have had a rtionship with the barely adult Jun Shiling.

    However, he took a look at the painting that Li Nian had brought back. He felt that he would not be able to draw it without at least thirty to forty years of foundation.

    ¡°I wonder if Miss Xia can give me a painting today?¡±

    In the end, Elder Zhong still chose to start. Although he was not a professional, he had collected many collections over the years and had good eyesight. He could not believe that such an experienced brushstroke was drawn by such a young pair of hands.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Xia Wanyuan could understand Elder Zhong¡¯s suspicions.

    After all, strictly speaking, she had a few decades of extra time in her previous life.

    Uncle Wang quickly got someone to prepare the inkstones and paper. Since it was inconvenient for Xia Wanyuan to move, Uncle Wang got someone to move the table onto thewn.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up a brush and began to apply it on the paper. It was as if she was just casually drawing two strokes, rxed and at ease.

    He had yet to see the contents of the painting, but seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leisurely and rxed temperament, Elder Zhong nodded. Painting did not have to be serious and proper, as if it was a battlefield.

    Painting realm and one¡¯s state of mind werepatible. The more nervous one was, the more unsatisfactory one¡¯s works would be. For Xia Wanyuan to have such a temperament at such a young age had already impressed Elder Zhong.

    To Elder Zhong¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan did not draft the script. Instead, she dipped the brush in the paint and began to draw. Elder Zhong approached curiously and was instantly attracted.

    Xia Wanyuan drew peach blossoms. She dipped the tip of her brush in ink and fused the ink, color, and water together. She then cleverlybined the strokes on the paper, emphasizing the meaning and following the strokes.

    Soon, a peach blossom stained with dew appeared on the paper.

    ¡°Is this a long-lost boneless art?!¡±

    Elder Zhong eximed in surprise.

    The so-called boneless painting method was to directly use colors to draw the branches and dye the petals without any ink threads. It tested the painter¡¯s brush strength and the natural structure of objects, the influence of light colors, and so on. Compared to using ink threads to style the painting, it was closer to an objective reality and had a more realistic feeling. It was more suitable for actual painting.

    However, such a painting method had been lost for a long time. Even if there were sessive imitators, they would usually not be able to draw that artistic mood. Elder Zhong never expected to see it here.

    Now, the way he looked at Xia Wanyuan was no longer suspicious. ¡°Who did you learn from?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t have a teacher. I guessed and thought about it myself.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her brush.

    ¡°You¡¯re really talented!¡± Without the guidance of a teacher, yet she was able to have such high artistic attainments. This was what young people often said, ¡°God has rewarded us with food.¡±

    What the art worldcked the most was talent and spiritual essence.

    Recalling that the Grand Arts Academy was recruiting guest professors, Elder Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan and had an idea. However, this matter still had to be approved by the school, so he could only go and introduce her. As a result, he kept it to himself for the time being.

    Elder Zhong suddenly became interested and began to discuss various professional questions with Xia Wanyuan. The more he chatted with her, the more impressed he was by the knowledge of the young woman in front of him.

    As for Jun Shiling, who was always the center of attention wherever he went, he waspletely ignored this time.

    Seeing that Elder Zhong and Xia Wanyuan were chatting happily, Jun Shiling sat by the side and picked up the painting that was almost dry.

    The stretched petals were overflowing with wantonness, as if it was the painter, exuding a leisurely aura from the inside out.

    ¡°Daddy, Mommy.¡±

    Xiao Bao, who had beenzing in bed until now, had not found Xia Wanyuan after washing up. It was only after looking around that he saw the person sitting in the courtyard.

    Xiao Bao threw himself into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and stared curiously at the old man in front of him.

    ¡°This is?¡±

    Elder Zhong was getting on in years, so he felt a surge of love whenever he saw the young child.

    ¡°Our son.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could reply, Jun Shiling, who had been quiet all this while, spoke.

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard of him before?¡± Elder Zhong looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s face that resembled Jun Shiling¡¯s and believed that he was definitely Jun Shiling¡¯s child.

    ¡°Hello, Grandpa,¡± Xiao Bao greeted him in a cute voice, which made Elder Zhong very happy. ¡°Good, good, good. Xiao Jun, you¡¯re so lucky to have such a talented and pretty wife and such an obedient son. You must cherish him.¡±

    Elder Zhong reminded Jun Shiling as he yed with Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Yin and answered softly.

    Elder Zhong was busy with his research. After chatting for a while, he left happily with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting.

    Xiao Bao looked at the paper and brush on the table curiously and insisted on learning from Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan then taught Xiao Bao how to write calligraphy piece by piece.

    ¡°Mommy, do you think my handwriting is good?¡±

    Xiao Bao lowered his head and fiddled with the paper for a long time. Finally, he wrote the word ¡®Jun¡¯ on the paper.

    ¡°Are you a little cat?¡± Xia Wanyuan took the words and saw that Xiao Bao¡¯s face was covered in ink for some reason, making him look like a little cat.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xiao Bao grinned. He wanted to wipe it with his little hand, but he did not expect to find ink on his hand. It made Xia Wanyuanugh non-stop.

    Jun Shiling looked at the mboyant Jun Yin and the smiling Xia Wanyuan, who was melting the spring sun, and sent Lin Jing a message telling him that he was on leave and was not going to work overtime.

    It was rare for him to enjoy a moment of leisure in the manor.

    Meanwhile, in Star Creation Entertainment, Chen Yun was leisurely ying games.

    Ever since he had taken over Xia Wanyuan, the other celebrities had been afraid that they would get involved with her and be scolded by theizens, so they had found opportunities to work under other managers.

    Xia Wanyuan had pretty much finished filming her scenes in the past few days, and there were no endorsements that came to look for her, so Chen Yun spent his days in thepany while worrying about when he would be fired.

    ¡°Are you a pig?! I told you to clear the troops at the bottomne, why did you go jungle?¡±

    Chen Yun was so angry at his useless teammate that he was just about to start MCing and fight 300 rounds with the other party when a call came in.

    Chen Yun directly broke the connection and quickly operated his hands to take a kill. However, he did not expect to be ambushed by the opposite jungler buried in the bushes, and he died at the door of his house in a moment of carelessness.

    The screen went dark.

    ¡°Damn King Lan Ling!¡±

    Chen Yun cursed. At this moment, the number from before called again. Chen Yun nced at the revival time. There were still 40 seconds before the call connected.

    ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Hello, is this Miss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager?¡± A polite and sweet voice came from the other end of the line.

    ¡°Yes, who are you?¡± Chen Yun was a little confused.

    ¡°We¡¯re Qian Xiu Fashion under Glory World Corporation. I would like to invite Miss Xia Wanyuan to be our brand¡¯s spokesperson. Would you have the time toe to thepany to discuss the details?¡±

    ¡°Qian Xiu Fashion?!¡± Chen Yun was stunned.?<i>Was it the Qian Xiu I knew?</i>

    ¡°Yes, ourpany¡¯s address is¡­¡± After the other party reported thepany¡¯s address, Chen Yun confirmed that it was indeed that Qian Xiu.

    Even after hanging up the phone, Chen Yun still could not believe it.?<i>Before Xia Wanyuan was hated on by the Inte, she could not even find a good sponsor. Now that she had been reduced to a street rat, why would Qian Xiu look for her to endorse??</i>

    ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve already contacted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was wearing a silver-white shirt that was buttoned up to the third button. He leanedzily on the car seat and had a teasing smile on his thin lips. When he heard his assistant, he tilted his head slightly, revealing the beautiful ears with the ck diamond studs on them. He looked dangerous and evil.

    ¡°What did he say?¡±

    ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t worry. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family is bankrupt and she doesn¡¯t have any resources in the entertainment industry. The endorsement of Qian Xiu will be of great help to her. She will definitely agree.¡±

    ¡°Bring her to me in a few days.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    After watching the video that had been yed countless times, the corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up. This was the first time he had been so concerned about her that he had even made a trip back to the country. ¡®Don¡¯t disappoint me, Xia Wanyuan.¡¯ (italics)

    ¡°Xia Yu! Get up! We agreed to go to the library!¡±

    Since they had epted the gift Xia Wanyuan had prepared for their dormitory, they had to deliver their promise.

    Under the stimtion of high-performanceputers, not only did the cklist level in the entire dormitory increase, but so did his studies.

    After all, they had to bear the heavy responsibility of helping Xia Yu achieve an A grade. Hence, they controlled the gaming time and woke Xia Yu up in the morning to study and attend sses. At night, they supervised Xia Yu¡¯s revision for the day before returning to the dormitory.

    Even though it was the weekend, everyone only took a nap before deciding to wake Xia Yu up and go to the library.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be up soon. Sigh, I should have sold myputer back then. I¡¯m hurting myself.¡±

    Xia Yu mumbled as he struggled to get out of bed.

    After washing up, tidying up, and preparing to leave the dormitory, Xia Yu received a call from the manor.

    ¡°My sister wants me to go home for a while. You guys go on ahead, I¡¯ll bring you something delicious when I get back.¡±

    ¡°Alright, remember to thank your sister for us.¡± Everyone expressed their understanding.

    When Xia Yu arrived at the manor, Uncle Wang was waiting for him at the door.

    ¡°Young Master Xia, Young Master and Madam are waiting for you in the dining room.¡±

    ¡°Oh okay.¡±

    Xia Yu was a little confused. The previous time I came back, the people in the manor didn¡¯t even bother to mention Xia Wanyuan. Why is she now Madam? (italics)

    When Xia Yu entered, he saw Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan into the house while Jun Yin skipped around the two of them.

    ?????

    Xia Yu was confused. ¡®Am I still asleep? That ruthless and unreasonable Young Master Jun is hugging Xia Wanyuan now. What a fantasy world.¡¯ (italics)

    When he entered the house, Xia Yu realized that Xia Wanyuan had no idea he wasing. She was surprised to see him at the door.

    After all, she was only staying in the Jun family temporarily. Although she wanted Xia Yu to call him over alone at school, she didn¡¯t say it out loud. She didn¡¯t expect Jun Shiling to think of it for her.

    ¡°Uncle!¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Xia Yu. He hadn¡¯t seen Xia Yu in a long time and missed his uncle who always yed with him.

    ¡°Sit down and eat.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him calmly and Xia Yu sat down obediently at the table.

    After lunch, Xia Wanyuan asked Xia Yu about his situation in school and was about to take a nap. Then, Xia Yu watched as Jun Shiling carried her upstairs.

    Xia Yu didn¡¯t dare to talk to Jun Shiling, so he yed Lego with Jun Yin for a while.

    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Jun Yin looked at Xia Yu with stars in his eyes as hepleted the model that he hadn¡¯tpleted in a long time.

    Xia Yu raised his head smugly. ¡°Of course!¡±

    Xia Yu had a friendly match with the other colleges in the afternoon and was in a hurry to go back.

    ¡°Bring all the food and drinks that I¡¯ve prepared for you back to school.¡±

    Jun Shiling picked up Xiao Bao, who was ying with toys outside of time, and forced him to take an afternoon nap.

    Xia Yu looked at the clothes, shoes, and snacks in the nanny¡¯s hands and felt bitter.

    In all his years of school, no one had ever prepared things for him like his family.

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    said Xia Yu, as he looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°You should thank her the most.¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped hugging Xiao Bao¡¯s back for a while before he finally said those words.

    Xia Yu seemed to be in deep thought. He stood rooted to the ground for a while before leaving the manor.

    ¡°Old Zhang, let me tell you. I got an especially good painting. I¡¯ll go to your hospital tomorrow to show it to you.¡±

    ¡°H*ck, would I lie to you? Do you know the long-lost boneless method? Tsk, tsk, that painting is really good.¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t do. She gave it to me specially. Dream on.¡±

    The moment Elder Zhong returned, he excitedly called his old friend from the liberal arts academy. When he heard that there was a lost artwork, Professor Zhang¡¯s heart was itching.

    Elder Zhong, who had unted his sess, happily took the painting from Xia Wanyuan and admired it. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Xia Wanyuan was amazing.

    After leaving Qian Xiu¡¯spany, Chen Yun still felt that it was a little unreal. The sincerity the other party gave waspletely beyond Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current status. Furthermore, Qian Xiu Corporation itself had a considerable reputation in the women¡¯s clothing market. Signing this endorsement was practically a windfall.

    Chen Yun immediately called Xia Wanyuan and told her about the new endorsement.

    ¡°The other party said that they need to examine the image of the spokesperson and agreed to meet in a few days for a detailed discussion.¡±

    ¡°Okay, let me know when the timees.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan was not very happy. She still had some understanding of the current Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status in the entertainment industry. How could there be a free lunch falling from the sky? If this Qian Xiu came looking for me at this time, it was likely that they were up to no good. (italics)

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t take a showerst night due to her foot injury. She had been sunbathing in the garden for a long time and was drenched in sweat, so she wanted to take a shower.

    Xia Wanyuan felt really awkward. She did not want the nanny to watch her bathe, so she had the nanny ce her feet on a stool to prevent herself from touching the water. She then dismissed the servants and slowly washed herself.

    Due to the inconvenience of her actions, Xia Wanyuan took her time bathing in the bathroom for nearly two hours before putting her clothes on. She jumped out of the bathroom with one leg and held onto the wall with both hands.

    Unexpectedly, the door of the bathroom was a little high, causing Xia Wanyuan to skip sideways. Jun Shiling, who was looking for the USB drive he had ced on the bedside table, heard movement behind him and turned to look.

    He saw the wet-haired Xia Wanyuan standing on the ground with one foot, swinging back and forth to maintain her bnce.

    ....

    Jun Shiling stepped forward to hold Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. Xia Wanyuan, who had just taken a shower, emitted a fragrant scent. Jun Shiling pursed his lips slightly and helped Xia Wanyuan onto the bed.

    ¡°Can you call the nanny for me? I want to blow my hair dry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked her wet hair and looked up at Jun Shiling.

    From Jun Shiling¡¯s point of view, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful face with red lips and white teeth formed a strong contrast with her ink-ck long hair, making her face look like snow jade and her brows as slender as a piece of jade.

    ¡°Let me blow it for you.¡±

    For some reason, Jun Shiling said this subconsciously. Both of them were stunned.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. I can do it myself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had been acting a little abnormally these few days.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up, the water on her hair flowing down her shoulders.

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t speak and went to the bedroom to get the hairdryer.

    Seeing this, Xia Wanyuan did not decline and moved her body slightly towards the bed. Since it was inconvenient for her to move, it did not matter who helped her.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were very gentle. Xia Wanyuan only felt a pair of hands gently brushing past her head. The warm wind blew against her ear, making her feel a little sleepy.

    Time passed slowly, and Jun Shiling felt that the hair in his hand had slowly be smooth and soft. Hisrge hand passed through his ink-ck hair, letting it fly between them.

    One or two strands of fragrant hair drifted along the wind to Jun Shiling¡¯s chin, tickling him. Jun Shiling¡¯s ink-ck eyes were deep and unreadable.

    ¡°Finished?¡±

    After a long time, Xia Wanyuan felt that her head was no longer wet.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling turned off the heater, and the soft hair slowly fell from his hand. A strange sense of loss surged in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have many schedules to begin with, and with her injured leg, she might as well rest in the manor for the next few days. She was so bored that she had to watch several television dramas.

    While she was taking her time, the outside world was abuzz withmotion. There were several major incidents.

    There had been rumors in the capital city that the young master of the Bo family, Bo Xiao, was going to return after five years, but no one had any definite news. It was only when that arrogant and familiar face appeared at the capital airport that the news was confirmed.

    Everyone in the Bo family, who were gossiping and eating melon seeds, could sit there and chat for the entire afternoon. Since Bo Xiao was awless person, everyone felt that there was going to be a good show to watch.

    Another piece of news was that the global billionaires rankings hade outst year. In China, more than a dozen magnates had entered the top 100 in the world.

    Normally, no one would pay attention to this ranking. At most, they would worship and envy it. After all, it had nothing to do with ordinary people.

    But this year, the world¡¯s tenth most wealthy Chinese man caused an uproar online.

    The reason was that the rankings were disyed in photos of the rich.

    The name of the man ranked tenth was Jun Shiling.

    And in the apanying photos¡­

    man in a suit seemed to be looking at the camera casually. His dark pupils were deep and the cold glint in his eyes added a sense of coldness. His high nose bridge and well-defined lips made him look strong and determined.

    [ Oh my god!!!! This must be the legendary overbearing CEO! ]

    [ In a sea of geezers, this person is simply handsome beyondparison. ]

    [ Even if they put him in the entertainment industry, he would still be extremely handsome. Boohoo, Mommy, I want to bear his children. ]

    [ God opened a window for him. The window was the huge vi that God had built for him. Boohoo, why is there such a huge difference between people? ]

    [ Everyone, check his resume. This person isn¡¯t the sessor of a traditional rich second-generation heir. The Jun Corporation¡¯s market value has at least doubled after he took over. He¡¯s too amazing! ]

    Some peoplemented on Jun Shiling¡¯s educational background since he was young, as well as the series of investments and acquisitions he had done after taking over the Jun Corporation.

    After reading it, theizens eximed that this should have been created by Nuwa using her heart¡¯s blood when she created people, and that they were made of mud.

    [ You superficial people, I don¡¯t care if he¡¯s handsome or not. I only care if he¡¯s ranked tenth on the global rich list. ]

    [ My husband is the tenth most powerful person in the world. I¡¯m also the tenth most powerful person in the world. ]

    [ What are you saying? Because of what you said, Jun Shiling went home and coaxed me for an hour, before doing it sessfully , do you know that? ]

    In just half an hour, the name ¡°Jun Shiling¡± had climbed to the top of the search rankings. Moreover, no matter which celebrity held a concert, who announced their rtionship, and whose fans were arguing, no one had been able to shake this top trending spot for the past 24 hours.

    Everyone searched for Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo on Weibo, but they realized that this big boss actually did not have a Weibo ount. Instead, the official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation was pulled out from the sea of people, and everyone flooded the Weibo page asking the CEO of the Jun Corporation to open a Weibo ount.

    Some passers-by who were unaware clicked on it and sighed.

    <i>Oh, this superficial world.?</i>

    <i>No, in this world where money was everything,</i>

    <i>Forget it, in this world where looks and money were everything, God, you¡¯re too biased! You can even give me one!</i>

    The protagonist who was in the whirlpool of public opinion did not care about themotion on the Inte at all. Jun Shiling did not even download Weibo.

    He was buried in his desk, flipping through thepany¡¯s quarterly report with a serious expression, ignoring Bo Xiao, who was sitting beside the sofa with his legs crossed, looking for him to speak to.

    ¡°No, my life savior. I traveled so far back to China. Why are you so emotionless? I¡¯ve been sitting here for a long time. Is this how the Jun Corporation treats people?¡±

    Bo Xiao felt ufortable sitting there, so hey down on the sofa and looked at his brother whom he had not seen in five years. He sighed in his heart. This ten-thousand-year-old iceberg was still as cold as before.

    The Bo family was a mess. Bo Xiao was often bullied when he was young. There was even one time when he was pushed into theke in the middle of winter. It was cold and there were few people there. If Jun Shiling had not passed by and sent him to the hospital, he would have died that winter when he was seven years old.

    Later on, Bo Xiao was brought back by the Bo family and became a seemingly glorious young master. He still remembered how Jun Shiling had saved his life back then. Over the years, he was considered the only friend who had gotten close to Jun Shiling.

    Unfortunately, five years ago, after his mother passed away due to illness, his father brought back the mistress and illegitimate child he had hidden away for many years. Bo Xiao caused a scene at his father¡¯s wedding and caused a hugemotion in Beijing. The old master of the Bao family then made the decision to send him abroad.

    ¡°You¡¯re really amazing. You were still a pampered young master five years ago, but now you¡¯ve developed the Jun Corporation so well.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked around the office and could not help but click his tongue. Jun Shiling was what the older generation in Beijing called ¡°their child¡± [1. ¡®their child¡¯ is used in sentences like, why is their child so amazing but you are useless, and were said by their parents to the children.].

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left?¡±

    Jun Shiling had already checked the quarterly reports of the few subsidiarypanies. When he looked up again, the sky was already red from the setting sun, while Bo Xiao was still lying on the sofa, ying games with his headphones on.

    ¡°Where am I going? I haven¡¯t seen you in five years. Shouldn¡¯t you treat me well? I heard that you bought a house in Beijing. I¡¯m poor and ignorant. I want to see what a luxurious house looks like.¡±

    Bo Xiao took off his headphones and grinned at Jun Shiling, revealing a row of bright white teeth.

    Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. He looked at the time on his watch, stood up, and prepared to go home.

    Ignoring Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude, Bo Xiao decisively sold off his teammates in the game and followed Jun Shiling into the car.

    The sky slowly darkened as the car slowly drove into the manor. Bo Xiao could not help but click his tongue.

    ¡°How corrupt and luxurious. Thend in Beijing is so expensive, yet you actually made such a big ce. Awesome.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at the brightly lit manor outside the car window enviously. He was rich too, but there was still a difference between spending his own money and spending others¡¯.

    ¡°I really admire you.¡±

    After a while, Bo Xiao smiled and said, but there was no teasing in his fox-like eyes.

    ¡°You can do it too.¡± Jun Shiling finally said the first words he said after getting into the car. He nced at Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao just didn¡¯t care to vie for those from the Bo family, but that didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t have the ability.

    ¡°Pfft, I don¡¯t care.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Bo Xiao was stunned. However, in an instant, he recovered his unrestrained attitude.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s car return, Uncle Wang went up to wee him, only to find that there was an extremely handsome young man following Jun Shiling.

    Looking at that crafty pair of eyes, Uncle Wang felt that they looked a little familiar. The two of them gradually walked into the house, and the light outlined Bo Xiao¡¯s facial features bit by bit. Uncle Wang finally remembered.

    ¡°Young Master Bo Xiao?!¡± Surprise shed across Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes. Five years ago, before Young Master Bo Xiao left, he would look for Jun Shiling from time to time. He was one of Jun Shiling¡¯s few friends.

    Besides, although Bo Xiao looked wanton and uninhibited, Uncle Wang felt that he was a kind child and had always liked him.

    After the incident five years ago, Bo Xiaoyuan had left the country. He did not expect to see him again today.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, I haven¡¯t seen you in five years. Why are you getting younger?¡±

    Bo Xiao waved at Uncle Wang, revealing a row of white teeth.

    ¡°Young Master Bo Xiao, you still love to joke.¡± Uncle Wang was ted by Bo Xiao¡¯s praise and quickly called for the servants to prepare his favorite food.

    ¡°I can¡¯t take my eyes off this luxurious house.¡±

    Bo Xiao walked into the house and looked around before teasing.

    Unexpectedly, his voice disturbed Xia Wanyuan, who was lying on the sofa and watching a drama.

    Xia Wanyuan sat up from the sofa. Only then did the two of them realize that someone was sitting on the sofa.

    Bo Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

    That day, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a silk dress. It was a little cold lying there, so she put on a thin nket.

    From Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao¡¯s point of view, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long hair hung loosely on her shoulders. Her bright eyes were bright and clear, shining like the stars in the sky. When she saw guests arriving, she smiled slightly, and her eyes curved slightly. It was as if she was a new moon on the first day of the New Year, exuding an inexplicable charm. Every frown and smile of hers was noble and elegant.

    ¡°This is?¡±

    Bo Xiao was reminded of the female voice he had heard on the phone the previous time. He had only teased her a little back then. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling was really hiding a mistress in his golden house?!

    And looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura, he wondered where Jun Shiling had found such a top-notch person in the world.

    Jun Shiling wanted to say something, but he pursed his lips and did not speak. Fortunately, Uncle Wang came forward to help him out.

    ¡°Young Master Bo, this is Miss Xia Wanyuan, the madam who married Young Master four years ago.¡±

    After ransacking his brain, Bo Xiao could not think of any Xia family in Beijing who could raise such a woman with such a temperament. However, thinking of how he had been away from Beijing for many years and how he did not know much about the changes in the circle in Beijing, Bo Xiao stopped thinking about it.

    ¡°Hello, Sister-inw.¡±

    Bo Xiao bowed slightly towards Xia Wanyuan. This was considered acknowledging her status.

    ¡°Hello, I sprained my ankle. It¡¯s not convenient for me to get up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly in return, smiling apologetically.

    It was only then that Bo Xiao realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg was wrapped in a bandage. It turned out that the voice he had heard a few days ago wasn¡¯t Jun Shiling¡¯s lover. It turned out that his sister-inw had sprained her ankle.

    Bo Xiao smiled and nced at Jun Shiling, who nced at him coldly.

    With Xia Wanyuan present, Bo Xiao restrained himself a little. From time to time, he would ask Jun Shiling and Uncle Wang about the situation in Beijing in the past few years. Xia Wanyuan sat by the side and listened quietly without interrupting. She was quiet and rxed, but no one could ignore her existence.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, I¡¯m hungry. When can we eat?¡±

    Bo Xiao had not eaten anything on the ne. After getting off the ne, he had been gaming at the Jun Corporation for the entire afternoon, and his blood pressure had soared from being angered by his teammates. He was already hungry.

    Touching his empty stomach, Bo Xiao smiled affectionately at Uncle Wang.

    ¡°Little Master will be back soon. Let¡¯s eat when hees back.¡±

    <i>¡®Who?¡¯?</i>

    Bo Xiao was a little stunned.

    At that moment, footsteps could be heard from the door. Bo Xiao looked towards the door and saw the little dumpling running into the house in his Pikachu suit.

    Looking at the face that was highly simr to Jun Shiling¡¯s, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened.?<i>Could it be that Jun Shiling already had a son??</i>

    In the next moment, the little dumpling leaped into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and called out to him in a childish voice, ¡°Daddy.¡±

    He then called out to Xia Wanyuan sweetly, ¡°Mommy.¡±

    Bo Xiao felt that the day had given him a huge shock.

    ¡°Call him Uncle.¡±

    Jun Shiling stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head and turned him towards Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Hello, Uncle.¡±

    Xiao Bao called out softly, his grape-like eyes filled with curiosity towards his uncle.

    ¡°Good boy.¡± Although he was a little shocked, he could not deny that the little guy was adorable.

    He nced at Jun Shiling, who had a cold expression as though he were the King of Hell, and then at the adorable little dumpling.

    Bo Xiao felt that it must be because of his sister-inw.<i>?Otherwise, how could Jun Shiling have given birth to such a cute child??</i>

    ¡°I didn¡¯t bring a gift today. Next time, Uncle will prepare an amazing gift for you.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s heart trembled when he saw how soft Xiao Bao looked.

    ¡°Okay, Uncle,¡± Xiao Bao answered obediently and looked curiously at this uncle he had never seen before.

    ¡°The food is ready.¡± By the time Xiao Bao reached home, the servants had already prepared the food.

    ¡°Alright, time to eat!¡±

    Xiao Bao jumped out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, but was pressed back by Jun Shiling¡¯srge hand. ¡°Go and wash your hands first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao obediently followed the nanny to wash his hands.

    Xia Wanyuan removed the nket and tried to get up. After a few days of rest, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet had recovered a lot, but it was still difficult for her to walk normally.

    Without a word, Jun Shiling stepped forward and picked Xia Wanyuan up.

    The smell of a mature man¡¯s cologne filled her nose. Involuntarily, Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulders.

    ¡°That can¡¯t be. I¡¯m still single. It¡¯s simply a scene of dog abuse.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling still had a cold expression, Bo Xiao could clearly sense that the coldness Jun Shiling had always carried outside had disappeared in Xia Wanyuan.

    In the past, when Bo Xiao was feeling ted, he had thought that Jun Shiling would always be alone. Who would have thought that not only did Jun Shiling find such a beautiful wife, but he also had an adorable son?

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the dining table and sat down, not giving Bo Xiao a single nce.

    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t be envious. You will be as happy as my parents.¡±

    Xiao Bao had also washed his hands. He walked to Bo Xiao, grabbed his sleeve, and looked up at him as he spoke seriously.

    Bo Xiao lowered his head and saw Xiao Bao looking at him with his round eyes. He was amused by his serious expression and hugged Xiao Bao. ¡°Why is your little mouth so sweet? You didn¡¯t inherit anything from your father.¡±

    ¡°Because I just ate milk candy!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s cute voice made Bo Xiaough.

    As there were guests, there was a huge table of dishes prepared in the kitchen.

    It was not convenient for Xia Wanyuan to pick up food. Not only did Xiao Bao eat obediently himself, but he also picked up Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite dishes from time to time. Because he was afraid that Jun Shiling would be jealous, he even raised his chubby little hand to serve Jun Shiling delicious meat from time to time.

    ¡°Phew.¡±

    Xiao Bao felt that he was really busy with his meal.

    ¡°Eat your food.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned and looked at Xiao Bao unhappily. He had just learned how to use chopsticks, yet he kept putting food into other people¡¯s bowls.

    ¡°Mommy likes to eat pork ribs, but she can¡¯t get any.¡±

    Xiao Bao pouted.?<i>It¡¯s not like I want to eat it myself. Daddy is bad.?</i>

    Jun Shiling red at Xiao Bao, then picked up themon chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of pork ribs for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Daddy, there are prawns too.¡±

    Jun Shiling picked up another prawn for Xia Wanyuan.

    Only then did Xiao Bao eat his food in peace.

    Later on, without Xiao Bao¡¯s reminder, Jun Shiling would add her favorite dishes when he saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl was empty.

    Bo Xiao watched the interaction between the three of them. Although they did not do anything serious or say anything emotional, there was an invisible warmth flowing between the three of them. Bo Xiao felt a little envious.

    It was peaceful here, but the Bo family was in turmoil because of Bo Xiao¡¯s return.

    ¡°Hubby, because of that brat five years ago, we didn¡¯t even get to hold our wedding. You can¡¯t let him bully us again this time.¡±

    Mo Ling¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred, but her hand was gentle as she clung onto Bo Qing¡¯s shoulder.

    She had been following Bo Qing for decades without a name and had thought that she would never be able to see the light of day in her life. Who would have thought that Bo Qing¡¯s first wife would be sick and die? She had sessfully entered the Bo family and be the legitimate Madam Bo, even giving Bo Yi a proper status.

    Five years ago, on the day of her and Bo Qing¡¯s wedding, that brat had gotten someone to smash the wedding venue before the wedding, making her aughing stock in Beijing.

    She hated Bo Xiao to the core, but the old master of the Bao family had protected that brat and sent him abroad. Now, he was back.

    Over the years, Mo Ling had gradually stabilized her position as the wife of the Bao family. A cold glint shed across her eyes. This time, she was going to make that scoundrel pay the price. She would never let him steal any of the Bo family¡¯s assets.

    <i>I have to save them for Yi¡¯er,</i>?Mo Ling thought.

    ¡°Aiya, Xiao¡¯er was young and reckless back then. His mother just passed away, so he definitely couldn¡¯t ept it. Just bear with it.¡±

    Back then, Bo Qing still felt a little guilty towards Bo Xiao. After all, the original wife had just died less than a year ago, and her mistress and illegitimate child had already entered the family. Furthermore, this illegitimate child was actually around the same age as Bo Xiao. This was very intriguing.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡±

    Upon hearing Bo Qing¡¯s words, Mo Ling¡¯s heart turned cold.?<i>He was asking me to endure it again!?</i>Back then, in order to marry the daughter of a rich family, Bo Qing made her endure the pain and watch her lover marry someone else. She could only endure it.

    It had been almost twenty years since then. She could not bear to see the light of day and could only watch Bo Qing and another woman act out their love on the news. He made her endure it. For Yi¡¯er¡¯s sake, she endured it.

    Now that she had taken over the position of Mrs. Bo and Bo Yi had be the legitimate young master of the Bo family, how could she bear with it? That was impossible.

    However, Mo Ling did not rebut Bo Qing. Bo Qing was a yboy, but after so many years of being by Bo Qing¡¯s side, she had never fallen. In the end, she even sessfully sat on the position of Mrs. Bo because she relied on this ¡°thoughtfulness¡±.

    ¡°Yi¡¯er ising back tomorrow. I heard that the movie Yi¡¯er filmed this time has a box office earnings of over a hundred million. Hubby, isn¡¯t our Yi¡¯er especially amazing?¡±

    At the mention of Bo Yi, pride shed across Mo Ling¡¯s face. Bo Yi hadpletely inherited her good looks and had been sent into the entertainment industry by her since he was young.

    With Bo Yi¡¯s good looks and the fact that Mo Ling would buy marketing strategies for her son behind his back, he quickly became popr. He had many fans online and was considered a popr idol in the new generation.

    In the beginning, Bo Qing did not like Bo Yi¡¯s profession. The older generation felt that actors were not decent enough.

    However, times were still developing. In recent years, Bo Qing¡¯s filmpany had been incurring losses. Unexpectedly, after filming a few films with Bo Yi, arge number of fans had made a lot of money for the Bo family¡¯s filmpany, and Bo Qing had slowly epted Bo Yi.

    ¡°Mm, he¡¯s quite charismatic for this movie. His fans have contributed a lot to the box office. This time, the project I invested in has made money. When Yi¡¯eres back tomorrow, I¡¯ll reward him well.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Hubby.¡± Mo Ling hugged Bo Qing¡¯s neck happily and nted a kiss on his face.

    Bo Qing was touched by the warmth on his face. He lowered his head to kiss Mo Ling¡¯s face, but he suddenly stopped when he saw the wrinkles on Mo Ling¡¯s face that couldn¡¯t be covered by theyers of foundation.

    <i>It¡¯s still better to kiss the Xiao Qin I met at the clubhouse yesterday.?</i>Bo Qing thought to himself as he got up and tidied his clothes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be back tomorrow. There¡¯s a meeting at thepany tonight, so I won¡¯t being back to sleep.¡±

    With that, Bo Qing picked up his suit and left the house while the chauffeur rushed towards a famous clubhouse.

    Women were the most sensitive and meticulous, not to mention a woman like Mo Ling, who was used to observing people and being considerate.

    The moment Bo Qing stepped back, she sensed his disdain. Mo Ling picked up the te beside her and threw it away. ¡°B*tch!¡±

    In the manor, Jun Shiling was busy dealing with thepany¡¯s documents in the living room by the window after dinner.

    A servant wanted to remind Jun Shiling to go to the study, but Uncle Wang stopped him.

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t need a reminder.¡±

    Uncle Wang looked at Jun Shiling from afar.?<i>In the past, Young Master always worked in the study alone. How could he not know that the study was quiet?</i>

    <i>However, Young Master had been alone for too long. He had never experienced the gentleness of the world. He must be extremely greedy.</i>

    Bo Xiao liked to y with Xiao Bao, and Xiao Bao liked to y with this beautiful uncle too. After dinner, the two of them sat on the carpet and yed with Xiao Bao¡¯s ne and train.

    These were all things that Bo Xiao had yed with when he was young. Bo Xiao casually controlled the ne to fly at all sorts of tricky angles and postures, causing Xiao Bao to exim repeatedly.

    It was inconvenient for Xia Wanyuan to move her legs. She quietly leaned on the sofa and watched a new drama with great interest.

    Jun Shiling asionally pulled himself out of theplicated documents and saw the scene in front of him. Although the room was noisy, he felt his heart calm down.

    There was a smile on his face that he did not notice.

    After leaving the manor, Bo Xiao received a few calls. They were all from those who had heard that he was back, so they wanted to ask Bo Xiao out for drinks and dancing.

    If it was in the past, Bo Xiao would have definitely joined the fun without a second thought. Although he had never said anything, he was actually quite envious of Jun Shiling and the rest¡¯s state just now.

    Bo Xiao, who had always been a bachelor and upholded his stance, actually had some thoughts of settling down when he looked back at the warm lights in the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet had recovered a lot, and Xiao Bao had insisted on sleeping with her.

    ¡°Mommy, I want to sleep with you.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have Daddy apanying you?¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused by Xiao Bao¡¯s expression.

    ¡°Daddy is helping me chase away the little monsters. I¡¯m not afraid of the little monsters anymore. I¡¯m a little man.¡±

    ....

    Jun Shiling nced at his biological son, who had turned him into a human tool.

    Xiao Bao wanted to continue speaking, but Jun Shiling dragged him away.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it in two days when her foot is better.¡±

    Xiao Bao struggled symbolically for a while, but gave up when he realized that his little arm could not win Jun Shiling¡¯s big arm.

    After a period of rest, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet could finally move without worry.

    After lying in bed for so many days, it still felt unreal to finally step on solid ground.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, I¡¯m waiting for you at Qian Xiu¡¯s office. We agreed to meet at ten o¡¯clock. Don¡¯t bete!¡±

    Chen Yun was very cautious about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first true endorsement, and he repeatedly reminded her.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan started to change.

    For the past few days, whenever she was at home, she would just wear a simple dress. Now that she could finally go out, Xia Wanyuan chose a brief but not simple outfit.

    Downstairs, Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao were sitting on the sofa waiting for Xia Wanyuan.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was going to work today, Xiao Bao pulled Jun Shiling over to send her off. Jun Shiling red at his son coldly, but in the end, he did not go to the office early. Instead, he sat on the sofa with Xiao Bao and waited for someone.

    ¡°Wow, Mommy, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was reading the finance newspaper, looked up.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was strolling down the stairs, was wearing a light blue windbreaker. The natural tightness at her waist made her look slender and delicate.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had been bare-faced for the past few days, had put on makeup today, which was rare. Her already stunning facial features were enhanced by the makeup, making her look even more alluring. Her brows were furrowed like the mountains in spring, and her eyes were wrinkled like the autumn waters. Her face was thin and her waist was slender, elegant, and peerlessly beautiful.

    ¡°I¡¯m ready. Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xiao Bao with her bright eyes and white teeth.

    ¡°Daddy, let¡¯s go.¡± Xiao Bao tugged at Jun Shiling, who finally came to his senses.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±

    The car drove Xiao Bao to the kindergarten, leaving Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan alone in silence.

    Chen Yun stood at the door and kept looking around.

    However, he saw a luxury car that he might not be able to afford even if he worked for ten lifetimes slowly approaching.

    ¡°F*ck.¡± Chen Yun couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He had only seen this model of Rolls-Royce in magazine collections. Even in Beijing where the rich gathered, this was the first time he had seen this car.

    He had been staring intently at the car, but he realized that the car was slowly stopping in front of him. Then, a familiar figure walked out of the car.

    ??

    Chen Yun wiped his eyes to confirm that he had not seen wrongly. ¡°Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go in.¡±

    Chen Yun looked at the luxury car that had already closed the door, then looked at the indifferent Xia Wanyuan. He kept feeling that something was wrong.

    ¡°Is that your car?¡±

    Chen Yun caught up with Xia Wanyuan and asked curiously.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s from a friend. The one who lent me his house.¡±

    ¡°This friend of yours is really quite good.¡± Chen Yun smacked his lips. There was still something he didn¡¯t say ¨C and he was very rich!

    After Xia Wanyuan alighted, Jun Shiling looked up at the beautifulpany building and frowned slightly.

    He had never paid much attention to the entertainment industry, but he was a very sharp businessman. A clothing brand like Qian Xiu, which had done rather well in the industry, was clearly not on par with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s currentmercial value.

    There were already staff waiting in the meeting room.

    ¡°Hello, this must be Miss Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    A middle-aged man was Manager Chen, who had already spoken to Chen Yun oncest time. His eyes lit up when he saw Xia Wanyuan behind Chen Yun.

    He had originally received orders from the higher-ups to contact Xia Wanyuan. Qian Xiu¡¯s previous spokesperson was either a movie queen or an A-list celebrity. He had never found such a lousy artiste who would be criticized by the entire inte just by surfing the inte.

    Hence, Manager Chen hade to discuss endorsements with Xia Wanyuan in a hopeless state. Who would have thought that when he saw the person in front of him, he would feel like he had picked up a treasure?

    He had seen too many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Wanyuan, who had her own unique temperament. Even though she was standing quietly, she had an aura that could not be ignored. This made Manager Chen feel more sincere about endorsement deals.

    ¡°Have a look at the contract first.¡±

    Chen Yun took the contract and looked at the obligations and endorsement fees.

    ¡°That¡¯s a great offer. We can sign it now.¡±

    Chen Yun looked at the contract. There was nothing wrong with it, and the treatment the other party gave him was rather good. He was afraid that the other party would regret it after reading Xia Wanyuan¡¯sments online, so he wanted to quickly sign the contract and confirm it.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Manager Chen had already epted the mission from the higher-ups and requested to sign Xia Wanyuan. After seeing her image, he felt that this transaction was not a loss. The two of them hit it off immediately and were about to sit down and sign the contract.

    ¡°Hold on.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who had been quietly flipping through the contract, suddenly raised her head.

    Manager Chen looked at Xia Wanyuan. Her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through people¡¯s hearts, making him feel guilty for no reason.

    ¡°What does thest use of the contract mean?¡±

    Chen Yun leaned over to take a look. ¡°If Xia Wanyuan unterally proposes to terminate the contract, she will have to pay ten times the agreed fee for the endorsement.¡±

    ¡°The termination agreement is normal, but the ten times penalty fee is indeed a little high.¡±

    The endorsement fee that Qian Xiu had given her was very generous. Hence, if she broke the contract, the tenfoldpensation would be ratherrge.

    ¡°This is for a unteral termination of the contract. Ourpany will invest arge amount of public rtions marketing to help establish the image of a spokesperson for Miss Xia. If Miss Xia signs the contract before terminating it, we will suffer a huge loss. This is only to safeguard ourpany.¡±

    Manager Chen did not panic at all. Seeing that Chen Yun was starting to waver, he took out his signature negotiating smile and slowly convinced Chen Yun. ¡°Besides, I believe that with Qian Xiu¡¯s leadership skills and generous treatment in the industry, once she signs the contract, you won¡¯t propose to terminate the contract, so this contract can bepletely ignored.¡±

    After hearing this, Chen Yun felt that it made sense. ¡°What do you think?¡± He looked at Xia Wanyuan. Even he did not realize that now that when something happened, he would subconsciously listen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion.

    ¡°No.¡±

    Manager Chen confidently handed the contract over halfway when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear voice.

    ¡°What did you say?¡± Manager Chen looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. He could not believe his ears.

    Qian Xiu was a famous female clothing brand in the industry and was a resource that many first-rate female stars could only dream of. As a third-rate female star who was covered in negative news, it was already a great honor for Qian Xiu to look for her. Who would have thought that she would actually reject her?!

    ¡°Xiao Xia, this endorsement is pretty good. Why didn¡¯t you ept it?¡± Chen Yun was also a little confused. He pulled Xia Wanyuan to the side and asked quietly.

    ¡°It¡¯s like signing a contract. We can¡¯t break the contract no matter what others do. What¡¯s so good about signing such a contract?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about modern contracts, but in times of war, in order to raise resources, she had also sought support from rich businessmen.

    Businessmen pursued profit. He was willing to provide you with help because he wanted to obtain things that were far more valuable than the resources he provided.

    Since Qian Xiu had such a big reputation, they definitely did not look for a small celebrity like her formercial value. Then there must be other values on her that Qian Xiu did not dare to mention publicly, but wanted to get.

    Chen Yun still wanted to say something, but Xia Wanyuan had already ced the contract on the table and stood up to leave.

    ¡°Hey, Xiao Xia!¡± Chen Yun reached out to hold Xia Wanyuan, but he did not touch her. He could only turn around and apologize to Manager Chen.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Manager Chen. I can¡¯t force an artist to sign a contract. I¡¯m so sorry.¡± Chen Yun lowered his head and bowed to Manager Chen.

    Unexpectedly, Manager Chen seemed to be even more flustered than Chen Yun. ¡°Ourpany really thinks that Miss Xia suits our image very well. Why don¡¯t we arrange another time to talk?¡±

    Manager Chen thought about the instructions given by the higher-ups and was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would not be able to sign the contract. He hurriedly arranged a meeting with Chen Yun.

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Chen Yun was a little suspicious when he saw how eagerly Qian Xiu was treating him, but he still maintained his enthusiasm on the surface.

    As soon as Chen Yun walked out of the meeting room, Manager Chen called the outside. ¡°Assistant Liu, that Xia Wanyuan refuses to sign the contract. She said that there¡¯s a problem with the breach of contract.¡±

    ...

    ¡°Sigh okay. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely settle this.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Manager Chen contacted the marketing and public rtions department.

    Meanwhile, in the coffee shop facing Qian Xiu Corporation, Assistant Liu was looking at Xuan Sheng on the sofa with a troubled expression.

    ¡°Young Master, that woman refuses to sign the contract. I think she saw something wrong.¡±

    ¡°Young Master?¡±

    Assistant Liu called out a few times but Xuan Sheng did not reply. The assistant then realized that Xuan Sheng was looking out of the window. He followed Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze and his eyes lit up.

    A light blue figure was walking out of the building. Needless to say, she was extremely beautiful. Her skin was as fair as jade and her temperament was as cold as the moon and frost. It was as if she was a snow lotus on a towering snow mountain. Her beauty was pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

    ¡°My trip here was really worth it.¡±

    It was only when the blue-clothed woman left his line of sight that Xuan Sheng retracted his gaze. He stroked his chin as if he had not had enough.

    ¡°Young Master?¡± Assistant Liu called out again.

    Xuan Sheng stretched his legs and ced his hands behind his head. He leaned on the sofa rxed. ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind. Go and tell Qian Xiu to remove the breaching use. Consider it a gift from me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    After leaving the Qian Xiu building, Xia Wanyuan went to the production team.

    Previously, Xia Wanyuan had brought funds into the production team, but she had been too bored to join the production team. The others had actually filmed a long time ago.

    After Xia Wanyuan joined the production team, she didn¡¯t have many scenes. In half a month, she had almost finished filming all the scenes involving the Heavenly Spirit Princess. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been resting at home while the others were still working on the production team. The filming of the Long Bad was also nearing its end.

    ¡°Director Yang.¡± There were not many people in the production team now. The scenes for the remaining supporting roles would probably bepleted in two days.

    ¡°Eh? Xiao Xia, you¡¯re here.¡± Director Yang smiled and waved at Xia Wanyuan when he saw her.

    In order to screen the television drama during the summer break, the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± adopted a method of editing while filming. In recent days, the first editing had already beenpleted under the overtime work of the staff.

    After watching the edited scenes, Director Yang was very satisfied with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance. He even felt that Xia Wanyuan did not have enough scenes and wished he could include all the scenes she had filmed.

    ¡°Director, do you have any ns for me today?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just join the production team? We¡¯re about to enter the publicity phase. They¡¯ve already filmed the poster. You injured your foot a few days ago, so the production team isn¡¯t busy today. Go and film.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    The Heavenly Spirit Princess had three main stages. She was the princess who had been respected as a young girl, the dancer after the country was destroyed, and the beloved concubine after the country was restored.

    As a result, Xia Wanyuan took a long time to film. By the time all the filming waspleted, the sky had already darkened.

    ¡°That¡¯s great! That was great! Thank you for your hard work.¡± The photographer looked at the photos that were filled with satisfaction. He had long heard that Xia Wanyuan was an arrogant and despotic person, but he didn¡¯t expect her toe for the shoot today.

    Not only was she very cooperative, but she also did notin about being tired after working for such a long time. She dutifullypleted the necessary actions for the shoot, which impressed the cameraman greatly.

    As usual, Jun Shiling got off work early and returned to the manor, but the house was empty.

    Xiao Bao had not gone home yet. The familiar figure that he usually saw lying on the sofa when he got home was nowhere to be seen today.

    For the past few days, whenever he went home, either Xiao Bao would throw himself into his arms or Xia Wanyuan would turn around to greet him. Now that he was suddenly alone, Jun Shiling suddenly felt empty.

    ¡°Where are they?¡±

    Jun Shiling sat quietly for a while. When no one came back, he went to look for Uncle Wang.

    ¡°Little Master finished schoolte today. Didn¡¯t Madam go out with you? Why didn¡¯t shee back with you?!¡±

    Uncle Wang seemed even more surprised than Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling had sent Xia Wanyuan out in the morning. He had thought that he would bring Xia Wanyuan back together that night, so he had not prepared another car for her.

    ¡°Aiyo, it¡¯s already sote. Madam still has a leg injury. Let me quickly call Madam.¡±

    Uncle Wang hurriedly went to contact Xia Wanyuan.

    A minuteter¡­

    ¡°Young Master, Madam is still on set. The filming has just ended, so I¡¯ll send a car over to pick her up immediately.¡± Uncle Wang contacted Xia Wanyuan and was relieved.

    However, just as Uncle Wang finished speaking, Jun Shiling stood up and strode out.

    ¡°Young Master?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll pick her up,¡± Jun Shiling said, leaving Uncle Wang standing rooted to the ground.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s back view gradually disappear into the distance, a relieved smile appeared in Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes.

    After filming, Xia Wanyuan left the film studio and slowly strolled the streets.

    After a day of filming in high heels, even though Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foot injury had healed, it had been too long and it was starting to ache.

    An unknown fragrance drifted over from the street. Xia Wanyuan looked at the various delicacies and luxurious clothes in the disy windows by the street and did not notice a small stone that had been thrown by someone.

    She stepped on it and staggered a little. It affected the old injury on her foot and she lost her bnce.

    ¡°Miss, be careful.¡±

    A smiling male voice sounded from behind.

    <h4>Chapter 51: Charming</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and met a pair of smiling amorous eyes.

    The man behind him was very handsome. Under his high nose bridge, his thin lips had a devilish smile. The street lights reflected in his ears, and his ck diamond earrings glistened.

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly in greeting, then turned and left without the slightest change in expression.

    ....

    Xuan Sheng did not urge Xia Wanyuan to stay after she left. He only stood where he was and watched her leave.

    He could not help but think of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes when she turned around. Xuan Sheng had always hated those sour words of the schrs, but at this moment, he recalled a sentence he had once seen.

    When looked at from afar, it was as if the sun was rising into the multicolored clouds of the morning. As it approached, it was as if a lotus was emitting green waves.

    The beauty in the video call, the beauty he saw in the coffee shop across the street, was no match for the lights in the city, when that pair of cool eyes turned around.

    Xuan Sheng had never felt that he was so interested in a woman. He really wanted to know how dazzling those ice-cold eyes were when they melted.

    After a day of filming, Xia Wanyuan was a little hungry. Waves of sweet fragrance kept wafting out of the cake shop, and it led Xia Wanyuan into the cake shop.

    There were not many people in the shop at the moment. Xia Wanyuan looked at the colorful cake slowly. It looked as beautiful as a work of art.

    In her previous life, in the pce of the Xia Dynasty, the pastries made by the imperial chefs were also very exquisite, but the ingredients were limited, so they could not make so many vors and styles.

    Looking at the exquisitely carved castles, gardens, and small animals in the ss windows, Xia Wanyuan found it very interesting.

    Seeing a cute pink piglet reminded Xia Wanyuan of Xiao Bao. She felt that Xiao Bao would definitely like this.

    At that moment, a WeChat notification sounded from her phone.

    ¡°Where are you?¡±

    Unexpectedly, it was that long-silenced ck profile picture.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan returned to the capital from the production team, she no longer had to video-chat with Xiao Bao. Hence, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s conversation stopped more than half a month ago.

    ¡°Can I help you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know why Jun Shiling had suddenly sent her a message.

    ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up at the entrance of the film studioplex.¡±

    The other party replied very quickly.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little ttered. After all, she had known that Jun Shiling was very busy.

    ¡°I¡¯m at the cake shop. I¡¯ll be right out.¡±

    After sending the message, Xia Wanyuan picked up a piggy cake she had just seen and chose a green and fresh-looking cake for herself.

    ¡°There are 72 pieces of cake in total. Is there anything else you need?¡±

    The cashier packed the two cakes. Xia Wanyuan was about to scan the QR code when she suddenly thought of something. ¡°Help me get another one like this. Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the packed mocha mousse.

    ¡°Okay, a total of 92 yuan. Please give me your payment code.¡±

    Carrying three small boxes, Xia Wanyuan left the cake shop.

    The Jun family¡¯s car was already parked by the roadside. The luxurious car logo attracted a lot of attention.

    The chauffeur stood by the side and closed the door after Xia Wanyuan got into the car, blocking all the curious gazes outside.

    In the car, Jun Shiling wore a well-tailored suit that had never changed. Just like him, the outfit was cold and reserved. Upon seeing Xia Wanyuan get into the car, he cast his deep gaze on her. ¡°Uncle Wang said that you didn¡¯t go home, so he came by to take you back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thanked him politely, but for some reason, she felt the coldness emanating from Jun Shiling deepen.

    There was a distance between the film studioplex and the manor. Xia Wanyuan opened a box that contained a palm-sized Matcha Musi.

    Xia Wanyuan took out a spoon, dug out a little, and ced it in her mouth. Although the cake tasted sweet, it was not greasy. The rich smell of green tea filled her mouth. The cake¡¯s texture was very soft and melted in her mouth. With a gentle sip, she cut open the cake in her mouth.

    Xia Wanyuan found it delicious and fed herself spoon by spoon.

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling was like a working machine, always dealing with important matters of the huge Jun Corporation.

    ¡°Do you want to eat this?¡± A box was handed to him. Jun Shiling looked up and saw the cake-like box in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I think it tastes pretty good. Do you want to try it?¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was looking at her without saying a word, Xia Wanyuan thought that he was questioning the taste of the cake.

    Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would suddenly approach her, and his face that was as bright as a jade tree would suddenly magnify in front of her? A familiar scent of a man¡¯s perfume suddenly assaulted her, extremely aggressive. Xia Wanyuan held her breath and her eyes widened slightly.

    ¡°You?¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish her sentence, she felt a warm sensation on the corner of her lips.

    It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to be so shocked that she stopped chewing on the cake in her mouth. Her beautiful big eyes were wide open, making one think of a deer running in the forest under the moonlight, moving and light.

    Jun Shiling ced his index finger in front of Xia Wanyuan. A cake crumb the size of a rice grain was lying on the tip of Jun Shiling¡¯s index finger. Xia Wanyuan could not help but blush. So he was helping her wipe the cake crumbs.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flushed cheeks, Jun Shiling had a broken smile in his eyes. The coldness that had been exuded because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s politeness had finally dissipated a lot.

    Jun Shiling sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened, but Xia Wanyuan felt that the atmosphere in the car was strange and was momentarily speechless.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand that was holding the cake box. She did not expect that a pair of jade-like hands would take the box away.

    Jun Shiling, who had just been reading the documents seriously, suddenly looked up.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted me to try it?¡±

 Chapter 52 - Goodnight

    <h4>Chapter 52: Goodnight</h4>

    ¡°Oh, okay. Here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan handed the cake back to Jun Shiling. As she was used to taking care of Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan even tore open the packaging considerately and handed the spoon to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan a deep look, then put down the document in his hand and took the spoon.

    For a moment, the car fell into silence. Only the rich fragrance of tea lingered in the car.

    It was muchter than usual when they got home.

    When Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked into the house, they saw a yellow Pikachu squatting at the door.

    From afar, it looked like a toy. When they got closer, they realized that Xiao Bao was sitting in the middle of the door with a pout on his face and looking at the two of them with his big eyes.

    ¡°Why are you sitting here?¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused by Xiao Bao¡¯s aggrieved look.

    ¡°Daddy, Mommy, I¡¯m hungry. Where did you guys go? Why are you only back now?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so hungry. Daddy, Mommy, where did you guys go?¡± Xiao Bao looked like he was about to cry.

    ¡°You can eat first.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked up and pulled Xiao Bao up, then handed the cake to him. ¡°Look, I bought this for you.¡±

    ¡°Wow, Mommy, you¡¯re the best!!¡± Upon seeing the pretty little piggy cake, the grievance on Xiao Bao¡¯s face disappeared and was reced with joy.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam, you¡¯re finally back. Little Master said he was hungry just now. I told him to eat first but he refused and insisted on waiting for you guys to eat together.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling and the rest had returned, Uncle Wang hurriedly got someone to prepare the food. ¡°The food is ready.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had eaten an entire bowl of mocha mousse in advance. She was not very hungry, so she was full after eating half a bowl of rice.

    After a tiring day, Xia Wanyuan wanted to go up and take a shower. ¡°Eat slowly. Sleep with me tonight.¡±

    Ever since she arrived in the modern world, Xiao Bao had been extremely close to Xia Wanyuan. In the past few days, he had been moring about sleeping with Xia Wanyuan. Now that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet were much better, she wanted Xiao Bao to return to the master bedroom to sleep with her.

    ¡°Okay! Mommy, wait for me!¡±

    Xiao Bao, whose mouth was stuffed, nodded happily.

    After showering, Xia Wanyuan felt that the fatigue of the day had somewhat dissipated.

    Ever since she had finished reading the book that Jun Shiling had ced by the bedst time, a new book would be ced on the bedside table every two days.

    Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her book when Xiao Bao, who had been washed clean by the nannies, barged in.

    But there was someone behind him.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the book and met a pair of deep eyes.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled the warmth that had brushed past her lips in the car earlier. She immediately avoided Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze unnaturally.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resistance, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turned cold.

    ¡°Mommy, let¡¯s sleep together!¡±

    Xiao Bao climbed onto the bed excitedly and crawled to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, but his other hand was unwilling to let go of Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling could only lie on the bed ording to his strength, and a fragrance instantly lingered at the tip of his nose.

    ¡°Let¡¯s sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Mommy, I can¡¯t sleep. I can¡¯t fix that Iron Man¡¯s arm. Can you help me?¡±

    Xiao Bao had a long nap in the afternoon and was very energetic.

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to y with toys when you sleep.¡± Jun Shiling red at Xiao Bao unhappily.

    ¡°Daddy is fierce to me¡­ Mommy, save me¡­ You¡¯re the best! y with me, okay?¡±

    Xiao Bao shifted his tiny body a little, distancing himself from Jun Shiling. He turned around and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, acting cute.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know what to do with Xiao Bao¡¯s soft whining, so she said to Jun Shiling, ¡°It¡¯s still early today. Why don¡¯t you let him y for a while?¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was decisive and neverpromised in the business world, looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes and agreed to their request.

    ¡°The parts are next door. Mommy, I¡¯ll go and get them.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao lifted the nket and was about to get off the bed. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling held onto Xiao Bao and got up to go next door.

    Not long after, he brought over a small box.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xiao Bao grinned at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Jun Shiling threw the toy onto the nket, while Xiao Bao opened the box and yed with Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling picked up the finance newspaper and started reading.

    ¡°Daddy, Mommy and I can¡¯t twist this.¡± A small part was handed to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling took it and used a little strength to pry it open. Just as he handed it to Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao gave him a harder part. ¡°We can¡¯t twist this either.¡±

    As a result, Jun Shiling¡¯s habit of reading a finance report every night for decades was broken that night. Jun Shiling separated the parts while Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao assembled them at the side.

    Finally, under the cooperation of the three people, Iron Man¡¯s two arms were assembled.

    ¡°Wow, we¡¯re too awesome!¡±

    Xiao Bao looked at his pieced arms happily.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. Her eyes were watery, and she looked sleepy.

    ¡°Okay, Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao obedientlyy down under the nket. Three seconds after he finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.

    ¡­

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao and reached out to take the toys on the nket. However, Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the toys too.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling had taken it, Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand. Meeting Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, she smiled slightly. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Goodnight,¡± Jun Shiling replied softly.

    It was a good night¡¯s sleep.

    The editing for ¡°The Long Bad¡± had already entered the final stage, and it was time to start the early publicity.

    ¡°Yingyu, this is your first female lead drama. Xia Wanyuan is useless too. Thepany is preparing to package your image. You have to seize the opportunity.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s manager had several B-list celebrities under her, so she was rather busy. Ruan Yingyu¡¯s manager did not go with her when she was filming, so she did not know how Xia Wanyuan performed during filming.

    Upon hearing her manager¡¯s words, Ruan Yingyu was first ted. However, when she thought of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning performance, she panicked a little. However, now that thepany was finally going to promote her, she didn¡¯t want thepany to think that she was a disappointment.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll cooperate with thepany.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu made a promise. When she first debuted, she was only a small inte celebrity and could not even be considered a B-list celebrity in the entertainment industry. Later on, when she acted as a supporting role in the production team, she relied on all sorts of scandals to be popr on the hot searches, tied together with marketing, and hyped herself up step by step.

    During this process, there was nock of pretty actors who had good acting skills. Their celebrity rankings were much higher than Ruan Yingyu¡¯s, but as long as they kept brainwashing passers-by and distributing all kinds of marketing buns, they could create the impression that Ruan Yingyu and they were of the same celebrity ranking.

    She had seeded in the past, but this time, Xia Wanyuan herself had many dark spots. It was too easy for her to write essays.

    Thinking of this, Ruan Yingyu felt that there was nothing to panic about. Rest assured, she sent all the photos she had taken on the production team to her manager.

 Chapter 53 - The Bo Family

    The morning sun shone on the heavy flowers and trees, reflecting on the red walls that were filled with creepers. Not far away, the sound of reading could be heard.

    ¡°Old Zhong, I¡¯m already here. Why don¡¯t you show me that painting?¡± A loud voice broke the silence in the courtyard and shocked the sparrows.

    Professor Zhang, who had been busy writing the country¡¯s textbooks, finally had time toe to Elder Zhong to look at the paintings that he had been showing off.

    ¡°Coming,ing. Old man, you¡¯re too impatient.¡± Elder Zhong walked down the stairs in a silk gown.

    ¡°Who asked you to keep showing off? You¡¯re making my heart itch.¡±

    ¡°Here, here.¡± Elder Zhong walked to the desk and took out a painting from the drawer. He opened it and asked Professor Zhang to take a look.

    On the lustrous white piece of paper, she took a white cloud brush and dip the tip of the white brush in pale sunlight red. From the front to the back, she poked the lice petals with the tip of the brush. The brush would be ced at the root of the valve, and the stamen had to be nk. She used rouge and light red or light yellow-green spots in the nursery, which would be dyed light yellow-green around the flower.

    Due to theck of ink lines, the petals and petals of the flower appeared round and gentle, like clusters of pink clouds floating on the Xuan paper.

    Although the art of boneless painting had been lost for a long time, theter generations of painters had once restored this art from various ancient books. However, the appearance of the art could not match the essence.

    Since there were no ink lines, it was very easy to draw a boneless painting.

    However, the painting in front of him had its own charm. To be able to give the inkless bone painting such a charm, it showed the mentality and skills of the person who drew it.

    ¡°Old Zhong, who drew this? I don¡¯t think anyone I know has drawn this style.¡±

    Professor Zhang was a famous schr of Qing University and an important talent in the country¡¯s literary world. Almost all the famous literary workers in the country knew him. Professor Zhang searched his brain but did not find anyone with a simr painting style to this person.

    ¡°Let me test you. How old do you think the person who drew this is? What kind of person is the painter?¡± Elder Zhong suddenly looked mysteriously at Professor Zhang and kept him in suspense.

    ¡°With such charm and technique, I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t be able to draw it without forty years of effort. Could it be a peerless artist?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I thought so too. However¡­¡± Elder Zhong stroked his beard and stopped talking.

    ¡°You old man, but what?¡± Professor Zhang was intrigued by what he said.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know in two days. I n to invite that painter here in two days.¡±

    ¡°Okay, remember to let me know when the timees. I¡¯lle and visit this mysterious painter too.¡±

    Seeing that Elder Zhong was unwilling to say the name of the person who drew, Professor Zhang did not pursue the matter further. He only waited for a few days to personally exchange pointers with the person who drew.

    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back?¡±

    Bo Yi, who was about to go out to attend the award ceremony, bumped into Bo Xiao, who had just walked in.

    ¡°Who¡¯s your brother? I¡¯m my mother¡¯s only son. What face do you have to call me, you product of adultery?¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at Bo Yi mockingly. The words that came out of his mouth were unpleasant.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, don¡¯t you go overboard!¡± Bo Yi red at Bo Xiao angrily.

    When he was young, he had always been envious of Bo Xiao¡¯s status as a young master. This jealousy had taken root in his heart every day.

    Ever since Bo Xiao was sent abroad and he was brought back to the Bao family, he had be the Young Master Bo in everyone¡¯s eyes, just like what they had always imagined when they were young.

    When Bo Xiao was not around, he was the young master that was sought after by many. He was an idol and celebrity who responded to every call. But now that Bo Xiao was back and seeing him reminded him of his terrible identity.

    <i>Why did hee back?!</i>

    Bo Yi looked at the expressionless Bo Xiao hatefully. All these years, he had been deliberately disguising his temperament to be the rich young master of the entertainment industry that fans chased after.

    However, at that moment, facing Bo Xiao, who was casually sitting on the sofa, Bo Yi felt a strange sense of inferiority.

    ¡°Oh, is the big star angry?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡°Why did youe back?¡± There was no one else present, so Bo Yi could not be bothered to pretend.

    ¡°I came back to make you and your mother unhappy, didn¡¯t I?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes shed. ¡°That¡¯s why I came back.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Bo Yi clenched his fists as sparks flew in his eyes.

    ¡°Butler,e, help me tidy up the master bedroom on the second floor.¡± Bo Xiao called out to the outside and the butler entered the house.

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± Qiao Feng bowed respectfully towards Bo Xiao, and his eyes were filled with love. He had watched Bo Xiao grow up. When Bo Xiao¡¯s mother was still alive, she had quite the prestige. Many servants here were dissatisfied with Mo Ling and Bo Yi¡¯s arrogance.

    With that, the butler led the servants to clean up the master bedroom.

    Bo Yi was left fuming on the spot.

    There was no other reason other than the fact that ever since Bo Xiao went abroad, he had upied Bo Xiao¡¯s former bedroom and moved into the master bedroom himself. Although Father Bo had scolded him a little, with Mo Ling helping him, Father Bo did not say anything else.

    Now that Bo Xiao hade back and wanted someone to clean the master bedroom, wasn¡¯t this a p in his face?

    However, he did not dare to do anything to Bo Xiao face to face. After all, he still remembered how Bo Xiao had beaten up the bodyguards at Mo Ling¡¯s wedding five years ago. He could only watch as the servants moved his things out.

    ¡°Pfft, Bo Xiao, don¡¯t be too arrogant. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±

    With that, Bo Yi left the vi angrily.

    ¡°Next up is the male lead, Bo Yi, who is currently in the midst of a popr movie, who has transmigrated and fallen in love with you. Everyone, let¡¯s give him a round of apuse!¡±

    [ Wow, Young Master Bo is so handsome! ]

    [ I think you¡¯re referring to my husband! ]

    [ As expected of the rich young master of the entertainment industry. I love this temperament of his. ]

    [ No wonder Xia Wanyuan insisted on using Bo Yi as a publicity stunt. Who wouldn¡¯t want to be with such a good-looking person? ]

    [ Can you not mention those disgusting people like Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. It¡¯s disgusting to even put Xia Wanyuan and my idol¡¯s names together. ]

    There was a warm smile on Bo Yi¡¯s face, and his tall and elegant figure looked extremely radiant under the spotlight. However, there was still a trace of anger in his eyes.

    From the moment Bo Yi walked onto the red carpet to the moment he entered the stadium, the fans¡¯ screams shook the sky.

    After the awards ceremony, it was time for the routine media interviews.

    ¡°Your box office performance this time was very good. What are your ns next?¡±

    ¡°Next, I will focus on honing my acting skills and try to perform better in my next production.¡± Bo Yi smiled modestly, causing everyone to have a good impression of him.

    ¡°Bo Yi, are you really in a rtionship with Xia Wanyuan?¡± A reporter from a famous gossip magazine squeezed forward.

 Chapter 54 - Official Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 54: Official Announcement</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Upon hearing the reporter¡¯s words, the smile on Bo Yi¡¯s face froze.

    Meanwhile, Bo Yi¡¯s fans, who were watching the live broadcast of the award ceremony, were enraged by this baffling reporter¡¯s question.

    [????????]

    [ What¡¯s wrong with the organizers? Why did they let such a reporter in? ]

    [ Is she crazy? Xia Wanyuan is worthy of Bo Yi? Is there something wrong with the reporter¡¯s brain? ]

    [ My son is confused. Can the manager protect my son well?! ]

    ¡°Is this true? Is there anything you can¡¯t answer?¡±

    Seeing Bo Yi hesitate for a moment, the reporters felt that there was something to dig up, so they quickly asked.

    Bo Yi put on a smile again. ¡°I want to fall in love too. It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m busy filming and I don¡¯t think I¡¯m capable enough. I need to learn more, so please forgive me.¡±

    Bo Yi made a begging expression, causing everyone tough.

    Bo Yi¡¯s words not only cleared up the rumors of him being in a rtionship, but also conveniently mentioned that he had been working hard to improve his acting skills.

    As expected, the fans¡¯ hearts ached for Bo Yi when they heard his words. He had worked so hard but people were still spreading rumors.

    ¡°I did work with Miss Xia once, but it was only because of our work rtionship. I have no intention of offending Miss Xia.¡±

    Bo Yi¡¯s words had a deeper meaning. Since there was a scandal about the two of them being in a rtionship, and now that Bo Yi had said that he had no feelings for Xia Wanyuan, it went without saying who spread the rumors.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. How can she be so shameless? ]

    [ As expected, I knew it. How could my idol fall for Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ It must be a scandal that Xia Wanyuan released to tie up my son to hype herself up. I threw up. ]

    Invisibly, Bo Yi¡¯s fans felt even more sorry for him. His fans had be more stable, while Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anti-fans had increased.

    Bo Yi was a newly-promoted celebrity, and his every move could cause waves on the Inte.

    Hence, the topic ¡°Bo Yi rifies the rumors about love¡± instantly trended on the real-time hot search list.

    Fans with a lot of fans were naturally top-notch in their criticism. When they clicked into the trending searches, the hottest topic was Bo Yi¡¯s rification video, and the second most popr topic was Bo Yi¡¯s various exquisite films and films.

    Xia Wanyuan was already being criticized on Weibo. Although the video released by the production teamst time stunned everyone for a moment, it could not change Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long-standing bad image.

    Apart from being infatuated with Bo Yi, An Li was also filled with disdain and mockery towards Xia Wanyuan.

    After all, the current Xia Wanyuan no longer had the support of her own family¡¯s capital, and thepany would not waste money on her public rtions. Hence, public opinion was basically one-sided.

    Soon, even the trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡± slowly entered the hot search list.

    [ Buying trending searches every day. This B-list celebrity is really interesting. ]

    [ Buy a trending topic every few days. Didn¡¯t they say that the Xia family was bankrupt? Why do they still have money to buy a trending topic? ]

    [ I¡¯m begging Xia Wanyuan. Can¡¯t you go back and be your rich daughter? Why must you pollute my eyes every day? I¡¯m so impressed. ]

    [ Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. # Xia Wanyuan Get Out of the Entertainment Industry # ]

    The inte was abuzz. Before theizens could finish their gossip, the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly posted a few Weibo posts consecutively, causing the inte to be popr again.

    ¡°He is the Eldest Senior Brother of Archean Eon Mountain and also Young Master Fu Yi, who upholds justice in the world. He has let time pass and the world change for the better. His heart has never changed and he has a pure heart. Let us wee Young Master Fu Yi, Lin Xiao, @ Qin Wu.¡±

    Under the document were two photos. One of them was the young and arrogant Eldest Senior Brother.

    The other picture was of Young Master Fu Yi, who had be a hero in theter stages of his life. Lin Xiao, who was dressed in a long robe, had his hands behind his back. He stood alone above the sea of clouds and looked down on themon people. At that moment, there was no longer the frivolity of youth in Lin Xiao¡¯s eyes. There was only the restrained deepness and the righteousness of taking pity on themon people.

    [ Oh my god! It¡¯s Lin Xiao in my heart! This is the Young Master Fu Yi in my heart! ]

    [ Yes, yes. This disguise is not bad. As expected of a good actor. ]

    [ Wow, why is the production team moving so quickly? Weren¡¯t they filming a while ago? How is the publicity going? I wonder how the special effects are going. ]

    Qin Wu¡¯s acting skills had always been recognized as good, and he was naturally popr as well. This official Weibo post basically had good reviews.

    Even the fans of the original novel, who had always had tricky tastes, were very satisfied with Lin Xiao¡¯s appearance.

    But there are also those who have started to express their concerns about the two main female characters on Weibo.

    [ The male lead is indeed very good, but I wonder how Tian Ying Er and Shen Pei will act? They are my two goddesses. ]

    [ You¡¯ve voiced my worries. Ruan Yingyu is still fine, but the main problem is that Heavenly Spirit Princess Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s simply a goddess who destroyed me. ]

    [ Can you not mention Xia Wanyuan? I don¡¯t even dare to look at her appearance. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to resist crawling over the Inte and killing her. ]

    A minuteter, the second Weibo post from the production team appeared.

    ¡°She¡¯s an innocent and cute little junior sister who has apanied Young Master Fuyi all the way to be a chivalrous hero. They are childhood sweethearts who have never changed their minds. Let us wee our little junior sister, Tian Ying Er, @ Ruan Yingyu.¡±

    There were still two photos on Weibo. One of them was the innocent little sister who had her hair tied up in a bun and was flying a kite under the warm spring sun. The other was the wife of Master Fuyi, who was dressed like a woman and had shed her naivety. She was calm andposed as she stood beside Lin Xiao.

    [ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Our Yu¡¯er is so beautiful!! This is the little sister in my heart! ]

    [ #Ruan Yingyu Tian Ying Er # Yu¡¯er did not disappoint us, I believe Yu¡¯er will bring us the best junior sister ]

    [ Fans in front, can you not control yourments? Aren¡¯t you exaggerating too much? I think it¡¯s just average. It¡¯s not as amazing as you say. ]

    [ You said what I didn¡¯t dare to say previously. Little Junior Sister should be pure and innocent. From this photo, I really can¡¯t tell what¡¯s not tainted by the world. The naivety she¡¯s putting on is too obvious. ]

    [ Haha, our Yu¡¯er is so-so? Why don¡¯t you watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s otherworldly wayster? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eye-piercing standards, she probably can¡¯t even catch up to one-tenth of Ruan Yingyu. Everyone, it¡¯s best not to be too picky. ]

    There were originally some passers-by who were suspicious on Weibo, but after being reminded by Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans, everyone recalled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s frightening acting skills and were no longer so harsh on Ruan Yingyu. For some reason, Tian Ying Er¡¯s appearance became more pleasing to the eye.

    What was surprising was that theizens had waited for a full five minutes, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s official assignment was not published. Everyone began to question whether the production team did not dare to release it for fear of being scolded.

    There were all sorts of guesses and debates on the production team¡¯s Weibo. Just as they were in an uproar, the third official Weibo post of the production team finally appeared.

    ¡°She is the noble and pure Heavenly Spirit Princess, as well as the most beautiful dancer who endured humiliation after the country was destroyed. She stepped on blood all the way and finally became the most beloved concubine in the pce. The Great Dream is magnificent. Did she give up everything for her own good? Let us wee Heavenly Spirit Princess Shen Pei @ Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Everyone swarmed into that official Weibo post for a full two seconds. There were noments under the Weibo post. After two seconds, everyone seemed to have finally reacted and started toment noisily.

 Chapter 55 - Dispute

    <h4>Chapter 55: Dispute</h4>

    [ Is there something wrong with my eyes? Who¡¯s going to wake me up? ]

    [ Can I say that it¡¯s a little beautiful? Am I alone? ]

    [ You¡¯re not the only one in front. Eh, why do I feel like I¡¯m scolding you? But please be more confident and remove the ¡®a little¡¯ part. I think she¡¯s really beautiful. ]

    [ F*ck, am I supposed to say that the Heavenly Spirit Princess in my heart is like this? ]

    [ Tsk, you guys are too naive. You guys even believe in edited photos? I¡¯ll make you look like a fairy in minutes. ]

    [ That¡¯s right. Hasn¡¯t Xia Photoshop done a lot of things? She takes advantage of her good looks and fixes especially beautiful photos every time. In the end, she copses the moment the drama is released. Her parents don¡¯t even recognize her. ]

    What aroused intense discussion was the three photos posted on Weibo.

    The first picture was of when she was young. In the imperial garden that was filled with flowers, the little princess, who was dressed in exquisite pce attire, sat on the swing without any worries. There were a group of maids beside her, and the little princess raised her head. Her clear eyes were filled with innocence that did not know anything about the world. Furthermore, because she had been pampered for a long time, her every movement had a noble arrogance.

    In the second picture, the bustling hall was empty. A beautiful figure was sitting alone at the wine table. Her eyebrows were raised slightly, and her pale gold eyes outlined boundless charm. It was only the side of her face, but it made people¡¯s hearts tremble.

    The third scene had changed. At this moment, the former Heavenly Spirit Princess had experienced chaotic times and had be the new emperor¡¯s beloved concubine. On the luxurious throne of the pce, the well-dressed imperial concubine looked at the bright moon on the pce walls alone. Her eyes were empty and lonely. Although she was under the bright lights, it made people feel the endless darkness on her body.

    The role of the Heavenly Spirit Princess was rich inyers. Different phases of life had different personalities. From the photos posted by the production team, every photo had an extremely obvious difference in style.

    Other than some anti-fans and other stakeholders who criticized and criticized her, most people were very satisfied with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    As for the trending topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡± that had been trending because of Bo Yi, it was gradually upied by the three photos posted by the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. The originally ridiculing trending topic square was gradually filled with the genuine amazement of passersby.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    Ever since the production team had posted on Weibo, Ruan Yingyu had been paying close attention to what was happening on the Inte.

    Seeing thements on her on Weibo and how everyone was amazed by Xia Wanyuan, Ruan Yingyu felt both angry and hateful.

    In the production team, she had clearly given everyone afternoon tea, but in the end, many people in the production team became even closer to Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>If I made the bridal costume for Xia Wanyuan and became her apaniment, wouldn¡¯t I have gotten the female lead role for nothing?</i>

    ¡°Say, this Xia Wanyuan is really strange. In the past, when her family was rich, she didn¡¯t live up to expectations. Now that she¡¯s bankrupt, it¡¯s as if she¡¯s enlightened. Her acting skills are soaring.¡±

    Her assistant carefully nced at Ruan Yingyu, afraid that she would lose her temper again.

    She¡¯s a bad actress who seduces men everywhere. No matter how well she acts, how much will the audience like her?¡± Ruan Yingyu flipped through the photos on her phone and her lips curled up.

    <i>¡®Xia Wanyuan, I want to see what ability you have to overturn the heavens.¡¯</i>

    ¡°Wow. I¡¯m exhausted from sitting in the library all day.¡±

    The solemn library was surrounded by tall sycamore trees. A few energetic men walked out of the door.

    ¡°Xia Yu, let me tell you. In order for you to get good results, I didn¡¯t even apany my girlfriend. All I did was study with you.¡± Zhang Zhe stretchedzily.

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Xia Yu said with a bitter expression. His mind was filled with thoughts of Adam Smith, Mankun, and Marx. ¡°My great sleeping time.¡±

    ¡°We didn¡¯t sleep in either. Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ve been learning for a day. Let¡¯s go and y ball!¡± Yang Lin threw his school bag on his shoulder and exercised his wrist.

    ¡°That¡¯s not a problem. Let¡¯s go and order hotpot in the dormitory after we y ball.¡± Su Mei smiled and hooked his arm around Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder. The four of them walked towards the court.

    The four of them walked under the setting sun and chatted as they walked to the court. Just as they changed their clothes, they realized that someone had taken over the ce.

    ¡°Hey! What are you guys doing? We were here first.¡± Su Mei had a bad temper and went up to argue with them.

    ¡°Where did this freshmane from? Why don¡¯t you go and find out who is in charge in this area?¡± A student with yellow hair walked up with a mocking expression.

    ¡°Who does thisnd listen to? Landlord?¡± Xia Yu walked to the middle of the crowd disdainfully.

    The crowd burst intoughter. The blondie felt that he could not keep his face anymore. A fierce look shed across his eyes. ¡°Rascal, are you looking for death?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s see who dies more horribly.¡± Xia Yu lost his temper.

    Seeing the two sides fighting, Zhang Zhe suddenly saw the figure sitting behind the yellow-haired man. He leaned over and said something to Yang Lin. Yang Lin looked forward and his eyes shed with anger.

    However, Yang Lin and Zhang Zhe calmed down and pulled Xia Yu and Su Mei away forcefully.

    ¡°Tsk, what a few arrogant freshmen. Brother Nian, let¡¯s y basketball.¡±

    Seeing Xia Yu and the rest leave, the blonde smiled smugly and ran over to the man in ck eagerly.

    Hey, what are you two doing? Why must we go? We were the ones who arrived first. Why should we give it to them?¡±

    Xia Yu had a bad temper to begin with and couldn¡¯t take it anymore.

    ¡°Xia Yu, you just lived in school for a while. You don¡¯t know this, but the group of people just now are in their third year of university. The one in the back is called Ruan Nian. He¡¯s a famous gaming broadcaster. I heard that his sister is a rather famous actress.¡±

    Zhang Zhe exined patiently to Xia Yu.

    ¡°So what if he¡¯s a broadcaster?¡± Xia Yu chuckled. ¡®Does he have any special privileges?¡¯

    ¡°Ruan Nian is a person who relies on the fact that he has a lot of fans. Don¡¯t you know that someone provoked himst semester? He told his fans about this during the live broadcast. His fans beat up the person who angered Ruan Nian and forced him to drop out.¡± When Zhang Zhe spoke about this matter, his face was filled with disdain towards Ruan Nian.

    ¡°This is too much. Fortunately, we didn¡¯t provoke such a person. It¡¯s fine if we can¡¯t y today, but let¡¯s go back and eat hotpot. We¡¯ll y again tomorrow.¡± It was the first time Su Mei had heard of this matter.

    For a student who had just entered university, he had not reached the extent ofing into contact with such sinister things. Therefore, when he heard this, he was extremely angry, but he could not help but feel a sense of fear. After all, he did not want to be expelled from school for no reason.

    Disdain shed across Xia Yu¡¯s eyes when he heard Zhang Zhe. He originally thought that the school was much cleaner than his circle of rich second-generation heirs. He didn¡¯t expect such trash to exist.

    When they returned to the dormitory, everyone ordered a hotpot in the sky and ate their fill. The displeasure in their hearts finally dissipated.

    ¡°This SB Ruan Nian! How dare she insult my goddess! How can he have so many fans who like him?¡±

    After washing up, everyone stayed on the bed and did their own things. Suddenly, Su Mei¡¯s voice broke the silence in the dormitory.

    ¡°It¡¯s not strange for that retard Ruan Nian to do anything,¡± Zhang Zhe added after hearing Su Mei¡¯s words, ¡°But your goddess changes every three days. Which one is she this time?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the same video we watchedst time. The Xia Wanyuan who portrayed my Heavenly Spirit Princess is so beautiful.¡±

 Chapter 56 - Live Broadcast?

    <h4>Chapter 56: Live Broadcast?</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Yu, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed and listening to songs, suddenly heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name.

    ¡°Who did you say?¡±

    ¡°Ruan Nian that grandson.¡± Su Mei repeated.

    ¡°No, I meant, who did he insult?¡± Xia Yu poked his head out of the bed curtain.

    ¡°My goddess, Xia Wanyuan. Speaking of which, she has the same surname as you.¡±

    ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Xia Yu jumped out of bed, took Su Mei¡¯s phone, and clicked on the live-stream rey.

    Because the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had posted an official Weibo post today, it had attracted everyone¡¯s discussion.

    Ruan Nian was currently doing a live broadcast of a very popr phone game. The reason he could stand out among all the streamers was because he had called himself the younger brother of popr celebrity Ruan Yingyu.

    Therefore, after the production team released the official announcement, many people began to view Ruan Yingyu on the live-stream.

    ¡°Of course my sister is very beautiful. She¡¯s the female lead of the Long Bad,¡± Ruan Nian said smugly after killing a human head. He took the time to look at thements in the live-stream.

    [ What female lead? Xia Wanyuan looks much better in disguise than Ruan Yingyu. ]

    [ Indeed, I don¡¯t think Ruan Yingyu acted very well. On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video was very stunning. ]

    There were not only fans in the live-stream but also many passers-by. Hence, under the many praises and confessions, these objectivements were very obvious.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan? Is she that bankrupt little princess of the entertainment industry?¡± Ruan Nian could not sit still when he saw thements saying that Ruan Yingyu could notpare to Xia Wanyuan.

    [ Hahahahahaha, that¡¯s right. It¡¯s that little princess. ]

    [ Nian Nian is right. She¡¯s the daughter who has to put on airs even after going bankrupt and only knows how to re at others when acting. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan canpare to our Nian Nian¡¯s sister?? Do you have brains? ]

    After a few deliberate guidance, Ruan Nian¡¯s fans became a little aggressive and united. Now, they were all flooding the live-stream.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know when the drama airs. How can trash like Xia Wanyuanpare to my sister?¡±

    Seeing that the screen was filled with support, Ruan Nian smiled smugly.?<i>When my sister¡¯s drama was released, my live-stream¡¯s poprity would probably rise to another level. That damned Xia Wanyuan, what could shepare to my sister??</i>

    ¡°Does a piece of trash like him deserve to talk about Xia Wanyuan?¡± Xia Yu was about to explode from anger when he saw Ruan Nian¡¯s annoying expression. ¡°Which building does he live in?¡± Xia Yu put down his phone and rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to fight.

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Xia Yu, are you serious?¡± Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Mei hurriedly got off the bed and pulled Xia Yu.

    He had thought that he was the only one who treated Xia Wanyuan as a goddess. Who would have thought that Xia Yu, who looked so arrogant usually, would actually chase celebrities and seemed to be crazier than him?

    ¡°Xia Yu, Ruan Nian lives outside. How can a rich person live in school?¡± Zhang Zhe poked his head out and persuaded Xia Yu. ¡°Don¡¯t get yourself into trouble. Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream is pretty popr and she has a lot of fans. If he makes you expelled, where are you going to cry?¡±

    ¡°Tsk, with his skills that allow him to roll around in the Star Glory Bureau all year round, he still has so many brainless fans.¡± Upon hearing Zhang Zhe say that Ruan Nian had a lot of fans, Su Mei was disdainful.

    Their dormitory mates often formed teams to y MOBA games. Their skills were quite good.

    Cell phones were much simpler thanputers. They would y with them normally and could reach Starlight easily. Hence, they felt disdain when they saw Ruan Nian pissing is pants in the Starlight Bureau.

    Hearing Su Mei¡¯s words, Xia Yu¡¯s eyebrows twitched and he stopped in his tracks. Seeing that Xia Yu had calmed down, Su Mei let go of his hand.

    ¡°Does he have a lot of fans?¡± Xia Yu opened Ruan Nian¡¯s live-streamzily. The number of fans was 1,520,000.

    After watching Ruan Nian¡¯s actions for a while, Xia Yu¡¯s gaze gradually settled.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to do a live broadcast too.¡±

    A whileter, Xia Yu suddenly said something that stirred the quiet dormitory again.

    There were not many sses at night in college, and Xia Yu was smart to begin with. In the past, he was toozy to attend sses properly. Recently, he had been paying more attention to sses every day. He felt that he could handle his schoolwork during the day.

    <i>I could use the time at night for a live broadcast, wasn¡¯t Ruan Nian very proud of his number of fans? Then I would snatch all of his fans and see how he could continue to be arrogant.?</i>

    Xia Yu snorted and switched off his phone. He began to search for ways to be a broadcaster on Baidu.

    The others in the dormitory looked at each other.?<i>¡®Wow, I didn¡¯t expect Xia Yu to chase after celebrities so crazily!¡¯?</i>

    After ending a meeting, Lin Jing apanied Jun Shiling to his office.

    When they passed by the pantry, they saw a few employees gathered together to gossip.

    ¡°There aren¡¯t many good television dramas to watch recently.¡±

    ¡°I heard that Qin Wu¡¯s ¡°The Long Bad¡± is going to be released soon. I heard he¡¯s in the martial arts genre and the original novel is quite popr.¡±

    ¡°I just saw the publicity Weibo post by the production team. I always see on Weibo that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are bad, but that official photo looks pretty good.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was walking quickly, had just walked past the entrance of the pantry when he heard the name Xia Wanyuan. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked into the pantry.

    The long-haired employee, who had wanted to say something, turned around when he saw the fear on his colleagues¡¯ faces. He was so frightened that his legs trembled.?<i>¡®Big Boss heard us gossiping in thepany. Oh no, oh no.¡¯?</i>

    However, they did not expect Jun Shiling to leave after a nce. Everyone hurriedly left the pantry in silence.

    Jun Shiling and Lin Jing did not speak until they entered the office. Only when Lin Jing ced a stack of documents on the table and was about to leave did he casually say something.

    ¡°They were talking about Miss Xia¡¯s new drama just now. The production team just posted a set of publicity photos on Weibo not long ago.¡±

    ¡°Are you very free as a special assistant? I don¡¯t think the newly recruited secretary of the human resources department needs to be assigned to you anymore.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Lin Jing coldly.

    ¡°I¡¯m not. I just happened to see it. There¡¯s an investment case that I need to discuss. Young Master, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Lin Jing put down the documents and strode out of the office.

    In the empty office, Jun Shiling nced at the thick stack of documents waiting for him to review and picked up his phone.

    <i>Weibo??</i>

    Other than the most basic contact software, there were no other apps in his phone. Jun Shiling opened the download and took the document from the side.

    By the time he finished signing the document, his phone rang. The download waspleted.

    By the time he entered the registration phase, the nickname ¡°Jun Shiling¡± that had already been upied. Jun Shiling 1, Jun Shiling 11 had also been upied.

    After Jun Shiling entered Jun 1111111, he finally logged in.

    The name Xia Wanyuan was still on the hot search list. When Jun Shiling clicked on it, the hottest topic was the official Weibo post that the production team had posted.

    Jun Shiling clicked on the picture and stared at it for a long time. The second picture had a dancer¡¯s appearance that reminded him of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dance that night. She was drop-dead gorgeous and beautiful.

 Chapter 57 - Reading

    <h4>Chapter 57: Reading</h4>

    The first picture showed the little princess with clear eyes and an innocent look. The usual cool and indifferent temperament of Xia Wanyuan had been restrained, revealing the image of an extremely well-protected little girl.

    Such a gaze reminded Jun Shiling of the day Xia Wanyuan had looked up at the flowers under the sea of flowers. Although the scene was different, it was still as clear as before.

    The third imperial concubine in luxurious clothes had a lonely look in her eyes.

    Jun Shiling opened thements. Most of them praised her for her beauty, but there were also some sourments. There were even those who posted # Xia Wanyuan Get Out of the Entertainment Industry #.

    The more he read, the colder Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes became. A momentter, Jun Shiling closed his Weibo and was about to call Lin Jing in when his phone rang.

    ¡°Ah Ling,e back tomorrow? I miss my great-grandson so much.¡±

    It had been more than half a month since he had seen Jun Shiling and Jun Yin. Old Master had been nagging at home for a long time. When he heard that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg had recovered, he called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Grandpa, we¡¯ll be back tomorrow.¡±

    Not long after hanging up the phone, an uninvited person sat on the sofa again.

    ¡°Hey, Young Master Jun, are you going to pretend you didn¡¯t see me sitting here?¡± Bo Xiao, who was dressed in a bright silver shirt, leaned on the sofa.

    Knowing Bo Xiao¡¯s character, Jun Shiling could not be bothered with him and began reviewing the documents.

    Facing an iceberg like Jun Shiling, Bo Xiao did not want to make things difficult for himself anymore. He had just returned from abroad and had just started ying the most popr phone game he had at the moment. He put on his earphones and yed the game.

    Hence, when Jun Shiling returned home, another person followed behind him.

    Young Master, Young Master Bo Xiao.¡±

    ¡°Uncle Wang, long time no see.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes curved into a smile.

    ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days, Young Master Bo Xiao.¡± Uncle Wang walked up to him kindly.

    ¡°Is the little dumpling not back yet today?¡± Bo Xiao really liked that sweet and cute child Jun Yin.

    ¡°School ended early today. Little Master went home early and is learning how to write from Madam.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not go out that day and practiced calligraphy at home for a while. When Xiao Bao came back from school, he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calligraphy. He was still a child and did not know much about strokes and strokes. He simply felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calligraphy looked good, so he insisted on pestering her to teach him.

    When Jun Shiling entered the house, he saw Xia Wanyuan holding Jun Yin¡¯s hand and writing on a piece of paper. Hearing themotion, Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°Sister-inw,¡± Bo Xiao greeted. Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°Uncle!¡± Xiao Bao saw Bo Xiao too, and his big eyes lit up. He liked this interesting uncle.

    He threw down the brush and ran over with his short legs. However, when he was a step away from Bo Xiao, Bo Xiao¡¯srge palm pressed against his head.

    ¡°Uncle?¡± Xiao Bao pursed his lips in grievance.?<i>¡®Does Uncle not like me anymore?¡¯</i>

    ¡°Little dumpling, your face is full of ink. Are you a little cat?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Jun Yin¡¯s ink-ck face and a rare broken smile appeared in his eyes.

    ¡°Aiyo, my little master, I¡¯ll take you to wash up.¡± Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes were filled with a kind smile when he saw the ink on Xiao Bao¡¯s face.

    When Xiao Bao came out of the bathroom after washing up, Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling were standing at the table, reading the words written by Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Sister-inw really wrote a good piece of calligraphy!¡±

    Old Master Bo loved antiques and calligraphy. After he was brought back to the Bo family, Bo Xiao had been protected by Old Master Bo and had seen many famous calligraphy and paintings by him.

    A beautiful set of words was not beautiful in its shape, but in its skeleton.

    The two characters written by Xia Wanyuan were unrestrained, unrestrained, and had their own style. Most of the words written by women were elegant and graceful, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words gave off an ancient and imposing feeling.

    Jun Shiling looked at the exquisite calligraphy. Even though he had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calligraphy before, he was still amazed by this woman¡¯s calligraphy skills.

    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m clean.¡± Xiao Bao ran over and hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s leg.

    Bo Xiao picked Xiao Bao up, ¡°Tsk, little dumpling, look at how beautiful your mother¡¯s words are. Look at yours. You have to keep working hard.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xiao Bao was unhappy. ¡°Daddy doesn¡¯t know how to write beautiful words. I inherited it from my Daddy. It¡¯s all his fault.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re right. It¡¯s all your father¡¯s fault.¡± Bo Xiao burst intoughter at the child¡¯s honest words.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, who quickly crawled into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.?<i>¡®Daddy is so naughty. I told the truth yet he¡¯s ring at me.¡¯</i>

    With Bo Xiao apanying him, Xiao Bao stopped pestering Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan and focused on ying with his toys.

    After dinner, Bo Xiao left even though Uncle Wang tried to persuade him to stay in the manor.

    He still had to go back and annoy those people. How could he let them sleep well?

    ¡°Ling¡¯er, I¡¯m a little busy at thepany tonight, so I won¡¯t be back.¡±

    ¡°You haven¡¯t been back in a few days.¡± Mo Ling gripped her phone tightly as if she wanted to crush it.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m busy with work. You have to understand me. I got someone to buy the ne you wantedst time. I¡¯ll bring it back for you in a few days. I¡¯m busy now. Bye.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Bo Qing took the young model by his side and secretly kissed her on the face. ¡°CEO Bo, have another sip.¡±

    Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Mo Ling was furious.?<i>Did he really think that I didn¡¯t know what he was up to?!</i>

    ¡°Busy? Busy hitting on women!¡±

    ¡°This is karma.¡± A cold snort suddenly came from the door. The sudden voice startled Mo Ling.

    ¡°Bo Xiao?!¡±

    Thest time Bo Xiao went home, he had gotten someone to throw away Bo Yi¡¯s things and clean up the master bedroom. However, he did not stay at home, so Mo Ling did not bump into Bo Xiao.

    The scene of Bo Yi¡¯s big wedding five years ago was still vivid in her mind. Even though Bo Xiao was smiling now, Mo Ling felt that he was as evil as a devil.

    Bo Xiao nced at the frightened Mo Ling and the corners of his lips curled up coldly. He strode towards the bedroom upstairs and did not even spare Mo Ling a nce.

    However, Mo Ling felt ufortable all over. The things that happened many years ago mixed with Bo Xiao¡¯s ghostly gaze made her feel weak. Looking at the exquisitely decorated living room, for the first time, Mo Ling felt that the room was too empty.

    The nanny carried Xiao Bao to take a shower. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa by the window in the bedroom and casually picked up the finance magazine beside her.

    Jun Shiling was a book lover, and he had a wide range of books. Books that he had flipped through could be seen everywhere in the manor. Xia Wanyuan happened to like reading too, and since she had just arrived in the modern world, she wanted to learn more about the modern world.

    The finance magazine was different from traditional books. There were many images attached to it that Xia Wanyuan could not understand.

    Coincidentally, Jun Shiling walked past the door.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± A clear voice sounded. Jun Shiling stopped walking towards the study.

 Chapter 58 - Charm

    <h4>Chapter 58: Charm</h4>

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling stood at the door. Xiao Bao had not showered and he was not ready to enter the house.

    ¡°There¡¯s something I don¡¯t understand. Tell me about it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had held a high position in her previous life. Now that she was in the modern world, from the original owner¡¯s memory, she only knew that Jun Shiling was rich, so she did not have any fear of him.

    Hence, she did not know that even in the entire world, there were very few people who could be personally guided by Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Which part?¡± Jun Shiling walked in and sat beside Xia Wanyuan.

    A familiar masculine fragrance wafted over. Xia Wanyuan felt a little ufortable, as if she had been wrapped up in Jun Shiling¡¯s territory.

    ¡°Here, I don¡¯t understand what this picture means.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the magazine.

    ¡°You have to look at the coordinates first.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded as he patiently exined to Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling had rich businessbat experience. He was not limited to the photos in the magazine. Instead, he went into details and summarized the proposals he had worked on and the data he knew to exin them to Xia Wanyuan in detail.

    Even an old antique like Xia Wanyuan, who did not know much about finance, was enlightened by Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation.

    Jun Shiling spoke seriously. As Xia Wanyuan listened, she tilted her head and nced at Jun Shiling. He was wearing a white shirt with the top button buttoned, making him look extremely abstinent.

    His resolute facial features were illuminated by the light, blurring his cold silhouette.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling, who was seriously exining his professional knowledge, was indeed quite charming.

    Just like what she had seen in those idol dramas a while ago, men who worked hard were the most attractive.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sizing him up, Jun Shiling stopped his exnation and met a pair of exquisite and clear eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Do you have a lot of women wooing you?¡±

    asked Xia Wanyuan curiously. In those idol dramas, there were usually many people who chased after the male lead. People who liked Jun Shiling could probably line up all over Beijing.

    Now, she felt that it was a good thing that Jun Shiling did not allow outsiders to know about their rtionship. In the future, after the divorce, she could leave quietly so as not to cause trouble everywhere.

    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±

    Jun Shiling had never imagined that Xia Wanyuan would ask such a question after sizing him up for a long time.

    ¡°Because you¡¯re quite charming,¡± Xia Wanyuan said honestly.

    When Jun Shiling heard this, it was as if a pebble had been thrown into his heart, causingyers of ripples and waves to surge in his heart.

    Jun Shiling had heard countless praises and received countless rewards since he was young, but none of them had stirred him.

    But this time, just Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made him feel an uncontroble joy, even helplessness.

    Jun Shiling clenched his fists and nced at Xia Wanyuan, deliberately maintaining hisposure and coldness.

    ¡°ttery.¡±

    Jun Shiling threw that sentence behind and stood up to leave.

    ¡­¡­.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little confused.?<i>Weren¡¯t modern people quite direct in expressing themselves? Besides, I seemed to have praised Jun Shiling. How did it be ttery?</i>

    The thoughts of rich people were indeed different from ordinary people.

    Jun Shiling left the bedroom quickly, but when he sat on the chair in the study, he felt that he had overreacted.

    His mind was clearly filled with the content of the proposal before he went upstairs, but now, his mind was upied by the sentence ¡°You¡¯re very charming¡± and that pair of clear eyes.

    Suddenly remembering that he still had a meeting, Jun Shiling dismissed all his thoughts and sat at the study table. He switched on hisputer. The executives of the Jun Corporation from all over the world were already waiting in the meeting room online.

    Jun Shiling nced at the time. He was ten minuteste.

    ¡°Alright, let the meeting begin.¡±

    After Jun Shiling spoke, everyone began to report on their work.

    <i>As for beingte? How could the boss beingte be consideredte?</i>

    The meeting had long ended and work had been settled, but Jun Shiling felt a little ufortable and insisted on staying in the study until Xiao Bao came to find him.

    ¡°Daddy, why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡±

    Xiao Bao was hugging a dinosaur plushie and wearing a one-piece dinosaur pajamas. His long tail was dragging on the ground as he yawned and looked at Jun Shiling at the door.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Jun Shiling went forward and pulled Xiao Bao into the bedroom.

    Xia Wanyuan had alreadyid down, and her gaze was extremely natural. However, Jun Shiling felt a little displeased when he saw how honest she was.

    When he heard that he was going to visit his great-grandfather today, Xiao Bao woke up very early and even wore his favorite Pikachu suit.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a light-colored knitted dress, and the pearls around her ears added a hint of gentleness.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re the most beautiful person in the world.¡± The kindergarten teacher had said that mothers were noble and had to praise their mothers often. Xiao Bao had perfectly carried out the kindergarten teacher¡¯s teachings.

    ¡°You¡¯re the cutest baby too.¡± Xia Wanyuan was tickled by Xiao Bao¡¯s praise and patted his head.

    When they arrived at the alley where Old Master Lin lived, it was not as quiet as thest time they were here.

    The car drove into the alley and was surrounded by rows of guards.

    There were also a few ordinary-looking cars parked at the entrance of the courtyard house. However, their car te numbers were either Beijing A or Beijing A.G.

 Chapter 59 - Guest

    <h4>Chapter 59: Guest</h4>

    The chauffeur, who was driving skillfully, subconsciously trembled when he saw the car te. His hand, which was holding the steering wheel, was sweating as he hurriedly slowed the car.

    Jun Shiling nced at the car te number. Jun Yin, who was beside him, was fidgeting around. He couldn¡¯t wait to get out of the car and find his great-grandfather.

    ¡°We have a guest today, so behave yourself,¡± Jun Shiling warned Jun Yin in a low voice.

    ¡°Okay, Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao withdrew his head from the window and answered obediently.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam.¡± Uncle Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time.

    Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in one hand and Jun Shiling¡¯s hand in the other as they walked over. The cold Jun Shiling, the peerless Xia Wanyuan, and the red-lipped and white-toothed little dumpling were truly a harmonious and perfect family.

    Uncle Liu looked at them and his eyes were filled with smiles.

    ¡°Uncle Liu!¡±¡± Grandpa Liu!¡±

    ¡°Old Master is inside. Some of hisrades are here today too,¡± Uncle Liu said as he led Jun Shiling in.

    The fragrance of tea lingered in the courtyard. The old master sat under the sycamore tree with three hale and hearty elders sitting beside him.

    ¡°Great-grandfather!¡±

    When Xiao Bao saw the Old Master, he instantly forgot Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions and ran to him.

    ¡°Oh, my sweetheart.¡± The old man was so happy when he saw Xiao Bao that his beard curled up.

    ¡°Is this your precious great-grandson?¡± When the person beside the old man saw Xiao Bao¡¯s fair and tender appearance, he immediately liked this younger generation.

    ¡°Come, this is your Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Bo, and Grandpa Mu.¡± The old man patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head, signaling him to greet them.

    ¡°Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Bo, Grandpa Mu.¡± Xiao Bao poked his head out of the old man¡¯s arms and called out to the benevolent old men.

    ¡°How obedient.¡± The few elders looked at the old man enviously. They were all of the same age but he already had such an adorable great-grandson. Even until now, they had yet to find their own granddaughter-inw.

    ¡°This is my grandson, my granddaughter-inw.¡±

    Ever since Old Master Jun abdicated five years ago, he had rarely interacted with the outside world. His oldrades were usually busy too. It had only been a year since they had slowly stepped down from their important positions. They could finally gather together today.

    ¡°This grandson of yours is amazing.¡± The few elders looked at Jun Shiling in approval. This Jun family¡¯s younger generation was indeed outstanding. The industry chain touched on all aspects and had a decisive impact on the entire country¡¯s economy.

    From the moment she entered the house, Xia Wanyuan had noticed the few inly dressed elders.

    From them, Xia Wanyuan could feel the familiar aura of a leader. Unlike Jun Shiling, they were calm and reserved, having been in the political world for a long time.

    While Xia Wanyuan was sizing them up, the few old men also noticed Xia Wanyuan, who was beside Jun Shiling.

    To people like them who had been in the political world for their entire lives, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty was nothing special.

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clean andposed aura made their eyes light up.

    A girl this age could have such a bearing and her aura was restrained, but standing beside Jun Shiling, who had a strong aura, she was not inferior at all. Instead, she seemed to be on par with him.

    ¡°Xiao Jun, not only do you have good taste in business, but you also have such good taste in finding a wife,¡± Old Master Mu said to Jun Shiling half-jokingly and half-seriously.

    <i>If those brats in my family were half as outstanding as Jun Shiling, I wouldn¡¯t have to worry.</i>

    ¡°Uncle Mu, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan but did not retort. Instead, he agreed with Old Master Mu.

    It had been a long time since the old master had seen hisrades. After Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had lunch, they brought Xiao Bao back to the manor, leaving the time for the few old masters.

    ¡°Old Jun, which family raised this granddaughter-inw of yours? What a great bearing. I¡¯ll go to this house tomorrow to find a fianc¨¦e for my grandson.¡±

    Hearing Old Master Mu¡¯s words, Old Master Jun recalled the family who had raised Xia Wanyuan and couldn¡¯t help butugh.

    ¡°My granddaughter-inw is a girl from an ordinary family.¡± Old Master Jun stroked his beard smugly. ¡°Damn, speaking of which, my grandson has good taste.¡±

    ¡°Old Master, the word ¡®smug¡¯ is written all over your face.¡± Old Master Mu was rather emotional. ¡°It¡¯s really not easy to get such a woman from an ordinary family.¡±

    However, he could only be envious. Other people¡¯s grandson really knew how to choose the grand daughter-inw.

    That night, the younger generation of the Mu family received a scolding from the Old Master for no apparent reason.

    There were so many guests that Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t even finish her meal properly. Before the car drove back to the manor, she felt a little hungry.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, are you full?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s adorable little face.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m full!¡± Xiao Bao looked up, his big eyes begging for praise. ¡°I ate two big bowls of rice! Great-grandfather even put a lot of meat in my bowl!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan paused for a moment before praising Xiao Bao. ¡°Mm, that¡¯s great.¡±

    After receiving the praise, Xiao Bao happily continued to read his cartoon book.

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips.?<i>Forget it, I will eatter.</i>

    Jun Shiling had noticed that Xia Wanyuan had only eaten half a bowl of rice when he was eating. Hence, when he saw Xia Wanyuan asking Xiao Bao if he was hungry, a smile appeared in his eyes.

    While Xia Wanyuan was reading the cartoon book with Xiao Bao, Jun Shiling picked up his phone and sent a message.

    When the car drove back to the manor, she smelled an overwhelming fragrance the moment she entered the house.

    ¡°Why did Nanny Li cook today?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan asked curiously, her appetite aroused by the fragrance of the food.

    ¡°Young Master instructed me.¡± Nanny Li brought the cutlery over.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the bowl and chopsticks, only to see Jun Shiling walking straight upstairs to the study.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, didn¡¯t you instruct her? Come and eat,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling paused and walked back to the table.

    Xia Wanyuan ate another bowl, but Jun Shiling only ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks.

    ¡°The future superstar of the broadcasting industry is about to be born! Brothers, are you looking forward to it?¡± Su Mei and the others surrounded Xia Yu¡¯s bed and watched him tinkering with the registered host.

    ¡°F*ck you,¡± Xia Yu scolded Su Mei jokingly.

    ¡°Xia Yu, what are you going to broadcast?¡± Yang Lin asked curiously.

    ¡°The popr mobile game now? Doesn¡¯t Ruan Nian y that too?¡± Xia Yu sat on the bed with his legs crossed. His eyes were filled with disdain when he spoke of Ruan Nian.

    ¡°You¡¯re definitely more popr than him. Really, Xia Yu, with your face, you¡¯re definitely popr.¡±

    Xia Yu was good-looking and looked a little like Xia Wanyuan. Over the past few days, countless girls had secretly admired him.

    ¡°Tsk, how can that piece of trash bepared to me?¡± Thinking of how Ruan Nian had scolded Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu was furious.

 Chapter 60 - When the Nations Younger Brother Comes

    <h4>Chapter 60: When the Nation¡¯s Younger Brother Comes</h4>

    After preparing the cameras and sound cards, Xia Yu waved at Su Mei and the rest. ¡°Go, go, go back to your beds.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be your first viewer on the live-stream.¡±

    His roommates returned to their beds and searched for Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream ID. Hence, before Xia Yu could start the broadcast, he received four subscriptions, including himself.

    ¡°I¡¯m starting the broadcast.¡± Xia Yu held the mouse and was about to press the button to start the live broadcast when he felt a little nervous.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Xia Yu, you¡¯re the next live streamer! I¡¯m Mr. Big¡¯s roommate now.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯m Mr. Big¡¯s top bunk.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s teasing made Xia Yu less nervous.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m the broadcaster, Xiaoyu.¡±

    When Xia Yu searched for the streamer guide online, he saw that there was a soundproof curtain on someone¡¯s list. To prevent disturbing Yang Lin¡¯s studies, Xia Yu also bought a curtain. The soundproof effect was not bad.

    [ Wow, the host¡¯s voice is really nice! ]

    [ The most handsome person in the world of streamers! ]

    [ I love you, broadcaster! ]

    [ I can do it. ]

    Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, thements had already been flooded. Xia Yu looked at the number of viewers backstage speechlessly. The real audience was in their dormitory.

    Since it was a gaming live-stream, Xia Yu was toozy to show his face. However, the tform said that the camera would attract more people, so Xia Yu pointed the camera at his hand and disyed the live-stream on his phone.

    Xia Yu had not yed his ount for long and was still in Starlight.

    Xia Yu, who had yed all kinds of games since he was young, was very proficient in King¡¯s Glory. He liked heroes who had high explosive power and high damage, which was why he had gotten an assassin.

    Ten minutester, the results were 12-0-5. Xia Yu looked up and saw the number of viewers in the backstage. 5.

    In other words, there were only two audiences who might not be real.

    ¡°Why is my poprity so low?¡± Xia Yu pulled open the soundproof curtain and poked his head out to ask Zhang Zhe. Zhang Zhe usually watched more live streams and knew more.

    ¡°It¡¯s very normal for a newbie like you. Typically, a new streamer wouldn¡¯t be that popr even when they¡¯ve just started broadcasting. That is unless they receiverge amounts of gifts from all the tforms. That way, they will be more popr.¡±

    Zhang Zhe felt that Xia Yu would be popr sooner orter. After all, they yed games together. Xia Yu¡¯s reflexes were fast, his hand speed was fast, and his ying style was extremely fierce. Many people liked this type of y in Esports videos.

    ¡°Oh.¡± After hearing Zhang Zhe¡¯s words, Xia Yu seemed to be in thought and shrank back into the bed.

    Five minutester, Bunny Teeth broadcasted a message to the entire tform.

    ¡°I have the money to bury a treasure chest in Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream. Everyone,e and dig for treasure!¡±

    When fans rewarded the broadcaster with treasure chests that could attract the entire tform¡¯s broadcast, the entire tform¡¯s audience could see this piece of news. There were all kinds of gold and silver coins in treasure chests, so they were very popr gifts.

    There was only one drawback to this item, and that was its price. A treasure chest was worth 5,000 RMB, and it was exclusive to ballers.

    Looking at his rich ID, Su Mei, Zhang Zhe, and Yang Lin were all confused. This ID was their alternate ount that they had seen Xia Yu register with half an hour ago.

    <i>Ha, the world of the rich was indeed colorful.</i>

    Obviously, the power of money was great. A treasure chest instantly attracted arge number of people, and the number of viewers backstage instantly increased from 3 to 350.

    In the live-stream, the assassin was lying in ambush in the grass by the river. The archer opposite him tried to clear the troops. He took a step forward and took two steps back.

    <i>Huh? No one seemed to have caught him?</i>

    With that, the little braised egg was relieved and took smug steps towards the river. Unexpectedly, a tiger instantly ran out from the grass and made the little braised egg fall to the ground with a peaceful face within three moves.

    The opposing assassin and mage rushed over to support him. The tiger, who had killed the little braised egg without losing any health, turned around, and with exquisite movement and fierce maneuvering, took three more kills.

    At the same time, the announcement ¡°My tiger has taken down four kills¡± sounded in the game.

    [ Amazing! ]

    [ NB! ]

    [ Yes, yes. This positioning is very exquisite. ]

    [ There¡¯s something. ]

    The audience who hade for the treasure chest were attracted by Xia Yu¡¯s actions.

    As the most popr game in the world, Mobile Legends had many fans, including arge number of female gamers. At that moment, not only were the female gamers in the live-stream shocked by Xia Yu¡¯s skills, but they were also shocked by the well-defined hands in the camera.

    His fair and slender hands moved quickly as he yed the game.

    [ I¡¯m satisfied with his hand control. ]

    [ Mommy, this hand, I¡¯m gone. ]

    [ I really want to know what a broadcaster with such beautiful hands looks like. I feel like he¡¯s a sunny little handsome guy. ]

    [ Hehe, what a love-struck fool. Would he not show his face if he was handsome? He must be a fatso. ]

    [ Person in front, you must be jealous. You¡¯re the one who is fat and should stay at home. ]

    Thements were still noisy. Xia Yu had already wiped out five of his teammates and destroyed the crystal on the other end with the five kill points.

    ¡°Victory!¡±

    The sign of victory appeared, and the results exceeded 100% of the yers in the same level. Thements flooded with 666.

    However, some people scoffed when they saw Xia Yu¡¯s level.

    [ Tsk, it¡¯s just a low-end game in Star Glory. How can you spam 666 like this? ]

    [ That¡¯s it?? ]

    [ Low-end game. ]

    Indeed, on this live-stream tform where streamers often had 100 stars, Starlight seemed a little low.

    ¡°I just started ying. Come and see if it¡¯s Star Glory in a few days.¡±

    Xia Yu was not a patient person. Seeing that thements were questioning him, he retorted.

    He was a young man with a clear and melodious voice. The end of his sentence was slightly higher with a hint of arrogance, but it did not make him feel arrogant. Instead, it was like water bubbling under the summer sun, refreshing the heart.

    [ AHHHHH! I¡¯m gone! ]

    [ This young voice, I¡¯m dead!!!! ]

    [ F*ck streamer, if you say something more and I¡¯ll send you presents! ]

    [ Tsk, what are you being arrogant for? Don¡¯t think that you can get a subscription just because you¡¯re goading me. I just don¡¯t want to look at you. You¡¯re too arrogant. ]

    [ Is the person in front sick? Didn¡¯t youe from Star Glory? ]

    The majority of the gamers who were watching the live-stream were also at the normal level. Thements directed at Starlight triggered public anger, and under everyone¡¯s joint report, they ran away dejectedly.

    Facing the screams on the screen, Xia Yu was a little confused.?<i>¡®Isn¡¯t this a gaming live broadcast? Why do they keep asking me to speak?¡¯</i>

    At that moment, Xia Yu¡¯s phone rang.

    Xia Yu put down the mouse and picked up the phone. Thements were crying because Xia Yu¡¯s hand had left the camera.

    Then, everyone heard the clear voice of a young man in the quiet live-stream. ¡°Sister.¡±

    By the time Xia Yu returned from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s call, thements in the live-stream had doubled.

    [ Brother! I¡¯m here! ]

    [ Ahh! Brother, why did you kill me?]

    [ I¡¯m dead! ]

    [ Little Brother! I¡¯ll give my life to you! ]

    At the same time, many fireworks exploded in the live-stream.

 Chapter 61 - Han Yuan

    <h4>Chapter 61: Han Yuan</h4>

    On the other end of the line, Xia Wanyuan did not expect Xia Yu to address her as sister.

    It had been a long time since she had heard this form of address. The word ¡®sister¡¯ seemed to tug at her heartstrings. She had flipped through China¡¯s history in the past few days but had not found the Xia Dynasty. The country and her rtives in her memory had not left any traces in China¡¯s history.

    Although the Yuan Emperor could already hold his own before he left, his mother would worry about him when he traveled a thousand miles. His eldest sister was like his mother. Sometimes, she would remember how her family and friends were doing in another space-time.

    After a moment of daze, Xia Wanyuan got down to business.

    Xia Wanyuan had contacted Xia Yu mainly to ask if Han Yuan had called him.

    In the evening, her phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar number. She thought that it was a harassment call, so she did not answer. The phone rang repeatedly in a hurry. When Xia Wanyuan took the phone, a sharp female voice came through.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, are you happy that you caused your father to go bankrupt?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly as she searched for the owner of the voice in her mind¡ªHan Yuan, who was younger than Father Xiaby twenty years.

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡±

    To Han Yuan¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan, who usually either mocked or shouted at her, was very calm today. In fact, she was very calm.

    ¡°Pfft, Xia Wanyuan, don¡¯t put on airs. We¡¯re going to be poor soon. See you at Sunshine Restaurant 405 tomorrow at ten o¡¯clock. If you don¡¯te, then wait for me to tell everyone that you drugged Jun Shiling.¡±

    Even on the phone, when Jun Shiling was mentioned, Han Yuan still felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

    Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, but Han Yuan knew that she would definitelye.

    Putting down her phone, Han Yuan smiled smugly. At least this money-losing Xia Wanyuan had some benefits.

    Han Yuan had never gotten along with Xia Wanyuan, yet she had taken the initiative to call today. Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and knew what Han Yuan was up to.

    The original owner of the body was just an arrogant little miss who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. If there was anything of value to the Xia family now, it would be Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned cold. Hooking up with Father Xiawhile the original owner¡¯s mother was sick was enough to prove that Han Yuan was up to no good.

    Since Han Yuan had taken the initiative to send herself to her, it was good to see what Han Yuan was doing.

    In the live-stream, Xia Yu picked up his phone again and his fair hands appeared on the screen.

    [ Damn, your brother¡¯s hand is really beautiful. ]

    [ Brother, can you call me Sister again? ]

    Xia Yu was a little unhappy as he looked at all the ¡®younger brother¡¯s on the screen.

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me little brother. Call me big brother. If you call me little brother, it¡¯s like you¡¯re calling me a noob.¡±

    The arrogant tone at the end of the sentence made one want to rub the head of the person who spoke.

    [?????]

    [??? Okay, Brother. ]

    [ Little brother is too arrogant. ]

    [ You called her sister just now. Why can¡¯t we call you brother? ]

    The game had already begun and Xia Yu entered the loading screen. He took some time out to look at thements. ¡°Only my sister can call me younger brother. All of you can only call me older brother.¡±

    [????????????]

    [???????]

    [???? I admit that I¡¯m jealous. ]

    [ Who is your sister? I want to fight her. If I win, her brother will be mine! ]

    Xia Yu was never a person who would try to please his fans. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s obvious straightforward words, Su Mei felt a little worried for him.

    Normally, when someone was doted on as a younger brother, they would take the opportunity to reciprocate the feelings of their fans. However, Xia Yu had said what was on his mind.

    However, these straight men clearly could not understand the strange and cute points of women in this era. Although Xia Yu scolded them one after another and did not please the fans, the poprity of the live-stream kept rising and the number of subscribers kept increasing.

    The number of fans who were screaming in thements also increased.

    ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s a little strange.¡± The assistant handed the document to Xuan Sheng fearfully.

    Xuan Sheng was lying on a spacious chair with a beautiful woman in his arms. The beautiful woman¡¯s slender fingers were drawing circles on his chest.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xuan Sheng grabbed the beauty¡¯s hand and gently kissed it, causing the beauty to smile charmingly.

    ¡°Miss Xia¡¯s information has started to be blurred since five years ago. In the past five years, other than being able to find her public tracks, her private tracks should have been deliberately erased.¡±

    The assistant did not dare to look at the lively scene in front of him and could only lower his head. He also found it very strange.

    ¡°We¡¯ve sent people to follow Miss Xia these few days, but there¡¯s an invisible force protecting her, so we¡¯ve always lost her.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Xuan Sheng, who had his head buried in the beauty¡¯s neck, looked up when he heard this. He took the documents from his assistant and found them more and more interesting.

    The Xuan family was one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing. Naturally, its power could not be underestimated.

    If they could stop the Xuan family¡¯s movements and prevent others from finding the source, then the power behind them was tremendous.

    ¡°Young Master Xuan, who is Miss Xia? Hmph, is she as pretty as me?¡± The beauty, who had not waited for Xuan Sheng to caress her for a long time, climbed onto Xuan Sheng¡¯s shoulders unhappily and kissed his earlobe. Her tone was coquettish.

    She thought that her coquettish behavior would be pacified as usual, but Xuan Sheng pushed her away.

    ¡°Aiyo!¡± The beauty was already leaning on Xuan Sheng. This push made her lose her strength and fall to the ground. The beauty looked at Xuan Sheng in grievance and shock.

    ¡°The difference between you is like heaven and earth.¡± There was no gentleness in Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom-shaped eyes. The words that came out of his thin lips made one¡¯s heart turn cold.

    After Xuan Sheng finished speaking, he strode away and did not even spare a nce at the beautiful woman on the ground.

    The beauty watched Xuan Sheng leave and clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were filled with humiliation.

    Knowing that a mysterious force was backing Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng¡¯s interest in her increased instead of decreasing.

    What was the point of sending herself to him? Such a beautiful woman had aroused Xuan Sheng¡¯s endless desire to conquer her. If he could not find any concrete information, how could he get close to her?

    Xuan Sheng looked at the documents for a while and finally had an idea. He made a call.

    The next day, in the Sunshine Restaurant, Han Yuan gently touched her stomach. There was no motherly love in her eyes. Instead, it was filled with impetuous hostility.

    Seeing that it was already half-past ten, Han Yuan¡¯s calmness turned into panic.?<i>Was that good-for-nothing really not nning toe?</i>

    Han Yuan looked towards the door. Xia Wanyuan was nowhere to be seen until 10: 45 pm.

    Han Yuan finally lost her patience. Picking up her phone, she called Xia Wanyuan for the twentieth time that day.

    The previous phone call had never been picked up before. Unexpectedly, it was picked up this time. At the same time, the melodious ringtone of her phone sounded at the door of the room.

    Han Yuan looked up and met a pair of cold eyes.

 Chapter 62 - Entering the Jun Corporation

    <h4>Chapter 62: Entering the Jun Corporation</h4>

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan?!¡±

    From a nurse Han Yuan managed to climb and cling onto a man who could be considered wealthy like Father Xia, Han Yuan had long been capable of observing people¡¯s expressions.

    At that moment, she acutely sensed pressure from Xia Wanyuan, who was standing at the door. That pair of cold eyes seemed to see through everything, making her feel guilty for no reason.

    ¡°Tell me what you want.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan slowly walked in, her high heels clicking on the floor, breaking down Han Yuan¡¯s mental defenses.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, why are you putting on an act for me?¡± Han Yuan pulled herself together, no longer as gentle as she usually was in front of Father Xia. ¡°Just because of that lousy drama of yours, your father invested money and was tricked into going bankrupt. How dare you still have the cheek to sit on your Madam Jun¡¯s throne steadily?¡±

    Hearing Han Yuan¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan recalled that the original owner of the body had once been persuaded by her friends in the industry to take on a sci-fi film. The essence of a sci-fi film was its special effects. Hence, the initial investment requirements were especially high.

    Under the persuasion of her good friend, Xia Wanyuan went back to beg Father Xia. The agent of the filmpany also listed out a very generous investment return. With the guarantee of her celebrity friends, the various persuasion from the filmpany, and the fact that the original owner of the body had been begging Father Xia.

    In the end, Father Xia still took out arge portion of thepany¡¯s cash flow.

    In the end, the film and televisionpany turned out to be a skincarepany that had lost all its investment funds after coting the funds. The sci-fi film could not be filmed and there was no return. In addition, the situation in the country was not good, and the Xia family¡¯s funds chain hadpletely broken.

    When Xia Wanyuan recalled this memory, she felt a dull pain in her heart, as if it was a natural reaction left behind by the original owner of the body.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think you can hide from me just because you don¡¯t speak.¡± Han Yuan grew bolder as she watched Xia Wanyuan sit calmly on the chair and not make a sound.

    ¡°Then what do you want?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan finally spoke. Her clear voice carried an indescribable dignity.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you marry the eldest young master of the Jun family?¡± Speaking of Jun Shiling, Han Yuan¡¯s tone was filled with mockery and a hint of jealousy.

    ¡°It¡¯s a piece of cake for him to help the Xia family. Can¡¯t you go and beg him? At the very least, you have a son. Get your son to beg him.¡±

    A cold glint shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes when she heard Han Yuan mention Xiao Bao.

    ¡°And then?¡± Xia Wanyuan quietly listened to Han Yuan before asking.

    Han Yuan was stunned.?<i>Then? Then what?</i>

    ¡°Then, I might bepletely abandoned by the Jun family and never see my son again. Then, you can bring your child and enjoy everything in the Xia family, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan casually pointed out Han Yuan¡¯s secret intentions.

    ¡°Why would you say that?¡± Han Yuan smiled awkwardly. ¡°After all, you¡¯re the Xia family¡¯s daughter. How could we not care about you?¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. Father Xia had gone to check the child¡¯s gender early on. Han Yuan was pregnant with a boy.

    Father Xia was a soft person. Han Yuan had been pestering him day and night, and she was pregnant with a boy¡¯s child.

    Unlike Xia Yu, Xia Yu was a product of his father¡¯s one-night stand after drinking outside. The most Father Xia could do was give him some money.

    Han Yuan knew how to coax people, and Father Xia had some feelings for her. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have held the wedding under Han Yuan¡¯s pestering before Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mother¡¯s mourning period.

    Hence, Han Yuan had pestered Father Xia to sign the property allocation agreementst year. As Xia Wanyuan was a daughter who had been married out, she naturally did not have the right to receive ten percent. She only gave him a few properties symbolically.

    If she was still the same Xia Wanyuan, she would probably be under someone else¡¯s roof after Jun Shiling rushed her back to the Xia family.

    Unfortunately, things had changed.

    ¡°Of course I can save the Xia family.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan remain silent, Han Yuan thought that Xia Wanyuan did not agree and was about to persuade her further. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would agree so readily?

    ¡°Really?¡± Han Yuan looked at Xia Wanyuan suspiciously.

    ¡°Yes, but I want to talk to¡± Xia Wanyuan paused for a moment. ¡°Father myself.¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡± Han Yuan was ted. It seemed that Xia Wanyuan was only bluffing on the surface. She was actually quite easygoing on the inside. ¡°I¡¯ll tell your father when I get back.¡±

    After the discussion, Han Yuan could not be bothered to argue with Xia Wanyuan anymore. With the help of the nanny, she left the dining room.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The bitter taste made her frown slightly.

    She had been reading the financial magazines that Jun Shiling had ced in the house for the past few days and was very interested in the modern business system.

    She did not expect the opportunity to present itself so quickly.

    They could save the Xia family¡¯spany, but it was not up to them to decide if they would save the Xia father or Xia Wanyuan.

    After sitting quietly for a while, Xia Wanyuan sent Jun Shiling a message.

    Soon, the other party replied.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and left the Sunshine Restaurant.

    ¡°To the Jun Corporation.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and instructed. Then she leaned against the car window and closed her eyes, thinking carefully about what she needed to do.

    The chauffeur¡¯s grunted in his heart and started the car.

    A month ago, Miss Xia, who was hated by everyone and only fit to live in a vi in the mountains, had already entered the Jun family¡¯s manor within a month.

    Now, she even had to go to thepany to dere her sovereignty. This was incredible.

    The car arrived at the Jun Corporation building very quickly. From afar, she saw Lin Jing waiting at the door.

    he security guard at the entrance took out a hundred times his usual seriousness and stood as straight as a pole.

    Who was Special Assistant Lin? He was the most popr person in front of Master Jun. He was Master Jun¡¯s right-hand man. He was someone who Master Jun could meet personally.

    The car slowly stopped. The security guard stood straight and stared intently at the door that was opened by the chauffeur.

    A pair of high heels appeared.

    Mm, bigdy boss.

    Then, it was a pair of fair hands, before her entire person. Although she was wearing sunsses and a mask, one could still tell that she looked extremely young. She was graceful and elegant.

    ???

    Lin Jing stepped forward. ¡°Madam.¡±

    In the past few days at the manor, everyone had addressed Xia Wanyuan as Madam. Xia Wanyuan was used to it and did not realize that something was wrong.

    ¡°Jun Shiling asked me toe and find him.¡±

    ¡°Young Master is waiting for you upstairs,¡± Lin Jing said as he guided Xia Wanyuan into the house.

    The employees watched as the gentlemanly Lin Jing entered thepany with thedy tightly covered. However, they could still tell from her posture that she was a beauty. All of their jaws dropped.

    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, they took the CEO¡¯s private elevator, right?¡±

    ¡°I saw it too. F*ck, is this Assistant Lin¡¯s girlfriend?¡±

    ¡°Boohoo¡­ Does Special Assistant Lin have a girlfriend? My heart is so broken.¡±

    ¡°Why would Special Assistant Lin bring his girlfriend to thepany openly? Maybe she¡¯s the CEO¡¯s wife?¡±

    The intern who had just arrived joined in the gossip of the seniors curiously.

    ]They took the CEO¡¯s private elevator. It seemed like Assistant Lin treated that woman very respectfully.

    ¡°Little sister, you don¡¯t understand. Our Master Jun is known as the King of Hell. Anyone can fall in love, but Master Jun doesn¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Little sister, you¡¯ll know when you spend more time with him. That kind of person like Master Jun is a fantasy. No ordinary person can match up to him. Think about what it¡¯s like to be in a rtionship with Master Jun.¡±

    The receptionist imagined Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face turning gentle. ¡°Eh, the Big Boss is only suitable to stay in the altar for us mortals to worship.¡±

 Chapter 63 - Picky with Food

    <h4>Chapter 63: Picky with Food</h4>

    The new little intern was gradually convinced by his seniors. He did not know that he had already brushed shoulders with the truth.

    Under Lin Jing¡¯s lead, Xia Wanyuan took the CEO¡¯s private elevator to the floor where Jun Shiling¡¯s office was located.

    ¡°Madam, Young Master is waiting for you in the innermost office. I have something on, so I won¡¯t be sending you there.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    The space on this floor was huge. As the elevator rose, Xia Wanyuan could see employees walking around every floor through the transparent elevator.

    <i>It was truly admirable to have such argepany employee in this city center where every inch ofnd was worth gold.</i>?Xia Wanyuan thought as she walked.

    What she didn¡¯t know was that one of the buildings here was developed by the Jun Corporation, and this office building belonged to the Jun Corporation.

    In front of the door of the innermost office was a few pots of green nts. The carving of the golden-wood door was exquisite and solemn.

    Knock! Knock!

    Xia Wanyuan knocked on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and entered.

    Unlike the tall and luxurious CEO¡¯s offices that she had seen on television, although Jun Shiling¡¯s office was huge, the decorations were extremely simple, just like Jun Shiling¡¯s person, exuding an extremely restrained aura.

    The ck-colored office upied nearly 200 square meters. Other than the desk, sofa, and the tea table hidden under the huge green nts beside it.

    Jun Shiling was sitting behind his desk, reading the documents in his hands seriously. The exquisitely tailored white shirt outlined his perfect figure. Even in the deserted office, Jun Shiling¡¯s tie was neatly tied.

    Jun Shiling originally thought that his assistant had knocked on the door, but no one made a sound at the door. Jun Shiling looked up and realized that Xia Wanyuan had arrived. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan would not havee so quickly.

    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Jun Shiling stood up and led Xia Wanyuan to the sofa. He sat down and poured her a cup of tea. Xia Wanyuan reached out to receive it.

    One of the two of them poured the tea naturally, while the other poured it one after another. None of them realized that the fact that Jun Shiling had personally poured the tea was something unbelievable.

    Even Jun Shiling himself did not realize that during his time with Xia Wanyuan, he had gradually ced her on the same level as him.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan was indeed a little thirsty. After drinking a mouthful of tea, she felt much better.

    ¡°You said on WeChat that you had something to discuss with me. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jun Shiling asked as he poured himself a cup of water with the teapot.

    ¡°Can we sign the divorce agreement earlier?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding the teapot paused. Some water spilled out of the teacup and sshed on the table.

    ¡°Why?¡±

    Jun Shiling filled a cup of tea and sat back on the sofa quietly. He looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes and asked.

    ¡°Since we¡¯re going to get a divorce sooner orter, we can sign the agreement first. I can help you hide it until after Grandpa¡¯s birthday.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to take advantage of the Xia family¡¯s bankruptcy to take over the Xia family¡¯s businesses, but she didn¡¯t have that much funds on hand. Back then, Jun Shiling had promised her a hundred million dors as a severance fee if they got a divorce, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to use this sum of funds early.

    ¡°The date of the agreement has long been drafted by thewyers, and the contents of the agreement can only take effect two monthster. The divorce fees mentioned in the agreement cannot be withdrawn until the time is right.¡±

    Jun Shiling spoke slowly. Seeing the slight fluctuation in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes when she heard about the divorce fee, Jun Shiling felt more confident.

    ¡°Fine.¡±

    <i>It seemed that this method would not work. How could I raise the money?</i>

    ¡°Do youck money?¡± Jun Shiling did not find any reluctance to part with this marriage in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, but he did not find any disgust for it either. After understanding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s needs, Jun Shiling leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, swallowed, and drank a mouthful of hot tea.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling in surprise, but she quickly understood. With Jun Shiling¡¯s intelligence, he should be able to guess her intentions.

    Perhaps it was because Jun Shiling was exceptionally professional and patient when he exined the contents of the book to Xia Wanyuan the previous time, but Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable trust in Jun Shiling.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was asking about it, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it and told him about Han Yuan¡¯s request to save the Xia family corporation.

    ¡°You want to take over the Xia family?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not say what she thought, but Jun Shiling could tell what she really wanted to do.

    ¡°Yes, but Ick funds.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll lend it to you at market rates.¡±

    Even if a month ago, Xia Wanyuan still had a greedy image in front of outsiders, at this moment, Jun Shiling felt that if he said that he didn¡¯t need anypensation to lend Xia Wanyuan money, she would reject him to arge extent.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan readily epted Jun Shiling¡¯s words. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to investigate the Xia family¡¯s actual situation and lend it to you ording to the actual investment amount it needs.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s even better. Thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have a deep understanding of the current business model, so she didn¡¯t know that being able to receive the professional evaluation of the Jun Corporation was something that many corporations dreamed of but could not reach. The value of this matter had already exceeded the value of the funds that were lent.

    ¡°i won¡¯t disturb you then, I¡¯m going back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling should be quite busy, so she did not want to waste his time here.

    ¡°It¡¯s already noon. Eat lunch here before leaving.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at the time and tried to persuade her to stay.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to decline when there was a knock on the office door. Xia Wanyuan was worried that her appearance here would bring gossip and gossip to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Come in,¡± Jun Shiling said. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even have time to put on her mask.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam, I brought your lunch up.¡±

    Lin Jing was holding a lunch box in one hand and standing at the door.

    Since the food had been delivered, Xia Wanyuan decided to stay for lunch.

    Lin Jing put down the lunch box and left the office.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and ate. In the eyes of the public, the patriarch of the Jun family had boundless glory, and his life should be extremely extravagant. Every meal he ate was a full banquet.

    In reality, there were only four dishes and a soup on the table.

    Xia Wanyuan belonged to the category of people who could eat anything when theycked food. However, when there was space to choose, she was also a little picky.

    Xia Wanyuan liked to eat the meat cooked with green beans. She liked the taste of the green beans, but she did not like the texture of the green beans.

    Xia Wanyuan scooped a small spoonful of green beans and ced it in her bowl. She picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and pushed the green beans aside. However, as someone who had experienced chaotic times and famines, Xia Wanyuan did not have the habit of wasting food.

    Xia Wanyuan only started to eat the green beans after she had finished the meat in her bowl. The slightly rustic taste made Xia Wanyuan frown slightly.

    ¡°Why are you so picky?¡± Jun Shiling noticed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and his brows furrowed slightly. It seemed that Jun Yin, that little dumpling, had inherited her habit of being picky.

    Knowing that she was in the wrong, Xia Wanyuan did not argue with Jun Shiling.

    However, just as she swallowed a mouthful of green beans, Jun Shiling took the bowl from her.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan asked Jun Shiling in surprise, only to see Jun Shiling scooping the green beans from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl into his own.

 Chapter 64 - Tenderness

    <h4>Chapter 64: Tenderness</h4>

    ¡°No need, I can finish it myself.¡±

    Even though they lived under the same roof and shared a bed every night, it was still a paper agreement.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was an ancient person, she did not bother with trifles. She knew where the boundary between her and Jun Shiling was, so she did not find it strange.

    However, she felt that eating leftovers seemed to have crossed the line.

    A strange thought crept into her mind, but seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s cold and indifferent expression, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was overthinking.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, then don¡¯t eat. You look like I mistreated you when I asked you to stay for lunch.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was somewhat cold. Xia Wanyuan felt that the idea that had just appeared in her mind was simply a fantasy.

    However, her opinion of Jun Shiling increased.

    She didn¡¯t expect that the noble son of such arge family and the head of the Jun family, who was above everyone else, would do things so openly. No wonder the Jun family could reach such a high level in his hands.

    Jun Shiling finished scooping the green beans and handed the bowl back to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    Xia Wanyuan whispered.

    ¡°Jun Yin must have inherited your pickiness.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to feed herself when Jun Shiling suddenly spoke.

    Xia Wanyuan recalled how the little dumpling did not eat ginger, garlic, onions, or coriander. For some reason, she felt a little guilty, and her face flushed red.

    Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unnatural expression and a smile shed across his eyes. He did not say anything else.

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to repeat her awkward situation, so she did not eat the dish of green beans with pork anymore.

    However, he did not expect that not long after, Xia Wanyuan, who had been engrossed in eating, would be served a spoonful of green beans stir-fried pork without the green beans.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. In Jun Shiling¡¯s bowl next door, there was arge pile of green beans.

    ¡­¡­..

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    Feeling a little embarrassed, Xia Wanyuan could only thank him.

    Jun Shiling replied calmly, and the two of them fell silent.

    After the meal, Lin Jing arrived at the office on time and took away the lunch box.

    ¡°Are you going back in the afternoon?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting on the sofa.

    ¡°Elder Zhong invited me to his lecture in the afternoon.¡±

    Elder Zhong was a heavyweight in the country¡¯s financial industry. His lectures were hard toe by, and being personally invited by Elder Zhong meant that he valued Xia Wanyuan very much.

    ¡°What time?¡±

    ¡°At three.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at the time. It was still early. ¡°Rest here for a while. I¡¯ll get the chauffeur to take you thereter.¡±

    ¡°Will it affect your work?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t mind. She was just a little afraid of affecting Jun Shiling¡¯s work.

    ¡°You won¡¯t.¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s permission, Xia Wanyuan sat at the side in peace, reading the book that Jun Shiling had left behind.

    Time passed slowly. Xia Wanyuan read for a while and saw the tea table by the window.

    She put down her book and walked over.

    On the tea table, there was a set of teaspoons made of purple sand, a teaspoon, a teaspoon, a teaspoon, and a tray that was known as the ¡°Four Treasures of the Tea Room¡±.

    If it was anyone else, they might not even be able to distinguish these tea sets, but Xia Wanyuan was different.

    In her previous life, there was a reclusive expert living on Zhongli Mountain. The expert was not greedy or materialistic. No matter how many officials and nobles tried to invite him, they could not.

    Xia Wanyuan had the intention of asking him to teach the Yuan Emperor his studies, so she had painstakingly studied the art of tea. In the end, she had taken the first spring water on Zhongli Mountain and brewed a pot of tea for the old gentleman. The gentleman praised her for having a spirit in the tea and agreed readily to apany her.

    Later on, this man became the imperial teacher of the Xia Dynasty and contributed greatly to its prosperity.

    The table was well-prepared, and the porcin jar beside it contained a pure mountain spring.

    Xia Wanyuan ced the spring water in a pot on the stove and adjusted the temperature of the water. When the water was boiled to a certain extent, she took out a portion of the Lin Ou cup. The purple sand teacup turned extremely dark when it came into contact with the hot water.

    She gently swept the tea leaves on the side into the cup with a teaspoon. Xia Wanyuan could not tell what tea it was, but from the quality and fragrance of the tea leaves, it was definitely top-notch green tea.

    Next, Xia Wanyuan lifted the kettle and aimed it at the cup of Ou. She poured the boiling water into it in a low and high manner, allowing the tea leaves to fully stretch as the water swirled.

    The originally dark-colored tea leaves were swirling in the water, gradually releasing a bright green color. The shocking fragrance of the tea slowly filled the entire office as the water entered the teacup.

    Jun Shiling, who was busy with work, was attracted by the fragrance of the tea and looked up.

    Under the cover of the huge green nts, sunlight shone through the window. The woman by the tea table held a kettle. The hot water was like a silver dragon, roaring as it rushed out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, stirring up a fragrant room.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a short chiffon dress that revealed her shoulders. The silver earrings on her ears added a hint of firmness to the gentleness.

    Although she was dressed in an extremely simple modern outfit, Jun Shiling seemed to see a ssic beauty who had settled down for a thousand years riding on the waves of steam that filled the room. She was elegant, drop dead gorgeous, and her every move was filled with a elegance that seeped into his bones.

    ¡°Try it.¡±

    In a daze, Xia Wanyuan had already brewed the tea. She stood by the window and waved at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling stood up and walked to Xia Wanyuan. Picking up the teacup on the table, he took a sip. From the clear tea, one could tell that the tea was brewed extremely well.

    The water tasted a little bitter at first, but after the bitterness subsided, the sweetness returned. The clear spring water retained the most authentic taste of the tea leaves, but it also added a hint of sweetness.

    As the saying goes, ¡®one¡¯s temperament is tempered by tea¡¯. Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan a dark look.

    The two of them drank tea quietly. It was about time for Xia Wanyuan to leave.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the first floor for a meeting. Let¡¯s go together.¡±

    After packing her things, Xia Wanyuan put on her sunsses and mask. After confirming that no one could recognize her, Jun Shiling put down his teacup and stood up to follow Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°The CEO¡¯s private elevator is here. Quick, quick, put it away. Assistant Lin is here.¡±

    In the pantry by the front desk, everyone was taking the opportunity to take a breather. Although they did not do anything out of line, they were afraid that the leader would think that they had nothing to do.

    Everyone was holding their sses and queuing up to receive the water. Someone whispered, ¡°F*ck, look at the elevator door.¡±

    Everyone secretly nced at the elevator door from the corner of their eyes and stood in unison like statues.

    The big boss, who was usually rarely seen, had actuallye to the first floor. Moreover, that was no longer the main point. The main point was that there was actually a slim and graceful woman walking beside him!! And it was the one Assistant Lin had personally apanied upstairs!!

    Curiosity towards the shocking gossip overcame the fear that they might be punished. Everyone secretly watched Jun Shiling send the woman beside him out of the corner of their eyes.

    In the middle of the crowd, the mysterious woman was almost knocked down. Jun Shiling pulled the woman to his side and walked on the side with therge crowd!!

    ¡°I take back what I said about not being able to imagine how gentle the Big Boss is. What did I say before? ¡®Tempered steel bes soft around the fingers¡¯. AHHHHHH! The Big Boss just now felt so safe and handsome! ¡®¡± The employee was halfway through her speech when she suddenly felt that her eyes hurt. ¡°Hey, my eyes seem to be a little ufortable.¡±

    ¡°Me too!¡±

    ¡°Me too!¡±

    ¡°How can it not hurt after you guys secretly looked at it with nted eyes for so long?¡±

    The new little intern mercilessly exposed the truth once again.

 Chapter 65 - Lecture

    <h4>Chapter 65: Lecture</h4>

    Qing University was one of the top universities in China, and it was also a ce that countless students dreamed of.

    The car entered a thick, archway-like gatehouse. The university¡¯s name was written on the gatehouse with strong and powerful characters. Passing through this gate and driving on the main road, what greeted them was a sense of youthful vigor.

    On both sides of the road were thick and tall ginkgoes and sycamore trees. The lush green leaves cast a green shade on the main road. Students in groups of two or three, carrying books, riding bicycles, or whispering, were scattered across the campus.

    It had been a long time since the Qing Dynasty. Under theyers of green nts, some ancient buildings stretched out from the lush green leaves with red-painted eaves, as if they were embracing the future of this era through time.

    Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture was held in the auditorium. After many turns, the car finally arrived at the entrance of the auditorium.

    ¡°Madam, I¡¯ll pick you up here in two hours.¡±

    The chauffeur stopped the car and weed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, the chauffeur drove away. Considering that no one in school would notice who she was and that she was being extremely disrespectful to Elder Zhong, Xia Wanyuan removed her mask and sses.

    Elder Zhong had an extremely high status, and those who could attend his lecture were no ordinary people. At this moment, all kinds of elites were gathered at the entrance of the hall. Other than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s extremely eye-catching appearance, most of the people present did not recognize her.

    After all, others had defamed her on Weibo, but in reality, not many people knew about Xia Wanyuan.

    It was already 2: 50 pm. The people at the door began to enter one after another. Xia Wanyuan followed behind the team and slowly approached the review entrance.

    ¡°Miss, please show me your invitation.¡±

    The person in charge of the student union, who was dressed in formal attire, reached out to Xia Wanyuan somewhat awkwardly. As the president of the student union, he had helped the school organize so many activities, but he had never met such a good-looking guest. His young and naive face flushed red.

    ¡°Invitation? Elder Zhong called me about it, I don¡¯t have an invitation.¡±

    Elder Zhong had only called Xia Wanyuan but had not given her an invitation.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you¡¯re not allowed to enter without an invitation.¡±

    Although the little sister in front of him was indeed beautiful, he could not let Xia Wanyuan in without an invitation.

    ¡°She¡¯s my femalepanion. She came with me.¡±

    A pleasant male voice sounded from behind her. Xia Wanyuan turned around and met a pair of familiar eyes. It was the man she had met on the street thest time.

    Her memory was good to begin with, not to mention that the man in front of her had an outstanding appearance. His amorous peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles. Even though he was wearing a formal suit, it made him look sinister and his entire temperament was outstanding.

    ¡°You¡­¡±

    ]¡±What a coincidence.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish her sentence, the man in front of her spoke.

    Xuan Sheng was pleasantly surprised. He had been looking for all sorts of opportunities to get close to Xia Wanyuan, but he did not expect to bump into her at Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture.

    As soon as he alighted the car, he noticed the petite figure. Although he could only see her back, that temperament, which was as aloof as the peak of a snowy mountain, he instantly confirmed that this was Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Xuan?!!¡±

    A person from the business world who was also waiting on the side immediately recognized the genius of the financial world, Xuan Sheng. Xuan Sheng was from the Xuan family and had extremely high investments himself. He had an outstanding performance in the international financial market of Erhua Street.

    As a new talent in the domestic financial world, he was naturally well known in the business world.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, pleasee in.¡± Even though he did not know Xuan Sheng, the president of the Student Union knew that Xuan Sheng was the biggest sponsor. Furthermore, people who studied finance knew that Xuan Sheng was a talented investor in the country, so he invited him in respectfully.

    The President of the Student Union was a little stunned. The guests today were all more good-looking than the other. Weren¡¯t they supposed to be brainless lectures? Why were these people not only smart, but also so good-looking?

    ¡°Thisdy is with me.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful profile, his eyes burning.

    ¡°Miss, pleasee in.¡±

    Since Xuan Sheng had said so, they could not stop Xia Wanyuan outside.

    ¡°No need. I don¡¯t have an invitation, so I won¡¯t be going in.¡±

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan declined.

    Speaking of which, this was the second time she and Xuan Sheng had met. However, the overly passionate look in this man¡¯s eyes made her instinctively feel ufortable.

    Having been ttered for a long time, Xuan Sheng was used to being obedient and boasting wherever he went. Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rejection, displeasure subconsciously shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. Xia Wanyuan noticed this and took a step back.

    Secretary Dong from the otherpanies standing behind Xuan Sheng saw that Xia Wanyuan did not give him any face. ¡°Miss, CEO Xuan is giving you face. It¡¯s difficult to get a ticket for Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture. If you don¡¯t follow us in, you won¡¯t be able to enter.¡±

    He had thought that these words would please Xuan Sheng. However, Xuan Sheng turned around and looked at her. The coldness in his eyes was no longer as warm as before.

    Secretary Dong was the most observant. Seeing that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly shut his mouth. Xuan Sheng was about to say something when he saw a girl who looked like a student walk out.

    ¡°Hello, Senior Li.¡± The student council president nodded at the girl. Li Nian was a master¡¯s student personally taught by Elder Zhong and was also a senior in the finance department.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the teacher asked me toe out and take a look. She said that you haven¡¯t gone in yet.¡±

    After replying to the president of the student union, Li Nian quickly walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°The teacher has been asking if you¡¯re here. Quick, go in. The teacher has reserved a seat in the front row for you.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have an invitation.¡±

    Ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xia Wanyuan followed Li Nian into the hall.

    ¡°Aiyo, it¡¯s my mistake. I thought the teacher called you and forgot to send you an invitation. It¡¯s fine, you cane in with me.¡±

    The student council president behind her was confused.?<i>Where did this important persone from? It was actually Elder Zhong who had personally invited her.</i>?The arrogant Secretary Dong looked enviously and resentfully at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. After all this, she didn¡¯t need anyone to bring her in.

    Xuan Sheng also followed Xia Wanyuan and the others in. At this moment, there was less of a frivolous smile in his eyes. Clearly, he did not expect that Xia Wanyuan was still in contact with Elder Zhong.

    Outside the hall, the finance reporters were flipping through their cameras. ¡°There are so many people attending Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture. They¡¯re all big names in the industry.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we can¡¯t get tickets. If we can go in and listen to Master¡¯s advice, maybe my stocks can be saved.¡±

    ¡°Hey, look, doesn¡¯t this person look a little familiar?¡±

    Suddenly, someone eximed. Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted to a picture.

 Chapter 66 - Sour

    <h4>Chapter 66: Sour</h4>

    ¡°Who is this?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this the infamous Xia Wanyuan online?¡±

    There were also different groups within the finance newspaper. The new media team was in charge of Weibo promotions and often spent time online. Naturally, they were more familiar with people from the entertainment industry. Although Xia Wanyuan had a bad reputation, her appearance was too eye-catching. Hence, the people in the Weibo operations team immediately recognized her.

    ¡°Is she very popr?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s not that popr, but quite a lot of people talk about her. The sales volume will be able to reach this time. Let¡¯s go back and write our scripts.¡±

    In the auditorium, Li Nian brought Xia Wanyuan to sit in the corridor of the first row.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the teacher is sorting out the script behind. He wants to invite you to gather after the lecture. Please wait for a while after the lecture.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    After speaking, Li Nian had to help maintain order and left first.

    It was the first time Xia Wanyuan had attended a lecture at a modern university, so it was rather novel. She looked around. The first row was close to the big screen, and the screen was rolling with Old Zhong¡¯s personal introduction and book theory.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in the first row, was watching the video, while the person beside her was watching her. She was as beautiful as jade and as beautiful as jade.

    ¡°Miss Xia, let¡¯s get to know each other. My name is Xuan Sheng.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was reading the introduction to Elder Zhong¡¯stest work when a familiar voice sounded from the person sitting beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head. Xuan Sheng was looking at her with his smiling amorous eyes. It was clearly an extremely formal asion. Xuan Sheng was wearing an official suit, but he was leaningzily against the back of the chair. A ck diamond ear stud on his right ear was shining with a dark light, making him look extremely charming.

    It was as if this was not a lecture but a movie award ceremony. Xuan Sheng was not a guest but a top celebrity who was about to go on stage to receive the award.

    ¡­.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that this person was a little persistent.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to be the guest speakerter. It¡¯s a coincidence that I ran into Miss Xia here.¡±

    Sensing the wariness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Xuan Sheng exined.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan turned her attention back to the video on the screen.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold and unyielding expression, a hint of a smile shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. He did not speak to Xia Wanyuan anymore.

    The lecture quickly began with the host¡¯s opening address.

    With a manuscript in hand, Elder Zhong went on stage. His gaze met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s, and he nodded slightly. Xia Wanyuan smiled back at him, and Elder Zhong began his lecture.

    As expected of a heavyweight professor, he began from the economic structure of the country to the current stock market structure.

    Xia Wanyuan had never heard of such a financing market in her previous life. After reading magazines for a few days, she had gained some understanding and was very interested. Hence, she listened attentively.

    asionally, Xuan Sheng would turn his head and see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile, which was listening intently. When he heard something suspicious, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s delicate brows furrowed. Like a small fan, it fanned a hint of wind into his heart, making him feel a little floaty.

    ¡°Does anyone have any doubts or better opinions?¡±

    Twenty minutes passed, and the entire hall was silent. Elder Zhong spoke for a while before stopping tomunicate with everyone.

    ¡°About the bond issues Professor Zhong just discussed. I think¡­¡±

    What Elder Zhong said was profound to begin with, so most of the people present did not dare to speak casually. Just as everyone fell silent, Xuan Sheng spoke.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s angle was tricky and the proposal he proposed was risky. However, it had to be said that it was a feasible n. Elder Zhong nodded as he listened. This new business genius was indeed a little amazing. The young people nowadays were really amazing.

    Elder Zhong and Xuan Sheng chatted for a full ten minutes. Everyone watched Xuan Sheng calmly exchange opinions with Elder Zhong and reevaluated the value of this new talent.

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not understand some of what he said, she could sense his ambition and ability from his actions and words.

    Aftermunicating with Xuan Sheng about the new solution, Elder Zhong continued the topic.

    Elder Zhong ended his lecture fifteen minutes earlier than expected.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had been listening intently, she did not quite understand some of the words. Coincidentally, Elder Zhong had just finished his lecture when Xuan Sheng turned his head. ¡°Miss Xia, if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, I¡¯m willing to help you answer it.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was about to speak, there was a suddenmotion in the hall. Someone in the crowd even eximed.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met a pair of deep eyes.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, then shifted his gaze to Xuan Sheng, who was leaning towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Li Nian, who was following behind Jun Shiling, trembled.?<i>God, why was Young Master Jun¡¯s coldness getting stronger?</i>?It was so cold that her neck turned cold.

    At this moment, Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze also looked towards Jun Shiling. One was yful, while the other was cold. The two gazes met briefly in the air before moving away. However, both parties had a preliminary estimate of each other.

    ¡°Oh my god, is that the Master of the Jun family?¡±

    ¡°Wow, I can brag about seeing Jun Shiling once in my life.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see not only Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture but also Young Master Xuan and the head of the Jun family. This trip was worth it.¡±

    Because of Jun Shiling¡¯s appearance, everyone was abuzz with discussion.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone knows this little friend. This is the current head of the Jun family, Jun Shiling. He¡¯s also giving me, Old Zhong, face. Jun Shiling will share the remaining fifteen minutes with everyone today.¡±

    Elder Zhong smiled and led Jun Shiling to the podium. In fact, he had only known that Jun Shiling wasing an hour ago.

    He nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting below the stage.?<i>The young people nowadays were really clingy. They could not even leave the time for the lecture.</i>?Elder Zhong smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of smiles.

    However, the fact that Jun Shiling was willing toe and give a lecture at Qing University gave him face. After all, Jun Shiling rarely spoke in public.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.?<i>Why didn¡¯t Jun Shiling mention that he would be attending Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture at noon?</i>

    Jun Shiling began his speech. What Jun Shiling chose was the most cutting-edge topic at the moment, and very few people understood it. However, with his extremely rich practical experience and strong logical ability, Jun Shiling exined the topic clearly in a few minutes.

    If one were to say that Xuan Sheng had just set off a small climax, the impact that Jun Shiling had on everyone was undoubtedly tremendous.

    <i>Oh my god, this is the powerful thinking ability of a big shot. Mortals like us can¡¯t catch up to him.</i>

    The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Jun Shiling was dressed in a ck suit as he stood in front of the podium and exined in a calm but powerful tone. His handsome face, which was as good-looking as a god, was already exuding elegance. The confidence, calmness, and power to control everything that came from his bones intimidated everyone present.

    Everyone listened attentively and reveled in Jun Shiling¡¯s business world.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s speech ended when exactly fifteen minutes passed.

    For fifteen minutes, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept across the entire hall as the speech progressed, except for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s seat. Other than the first nce, Jun Shiling had never looked at her area again.

    <h4>Chapter 67: Flower Crown Beauty</h4>

    After the lecture ended, everyone dispersed. There were originally some people who looked at Xuan Sheng with a smile and wanted to use this opportunity to get to know him. But who would have thought that when they really wanted to talk to him, Xuan Sheng would reject them from a thousand miles away?

    Most of the people who attended the lecture were people of status and reputation. Seeing that Xuan Sheng had no intention ofmunicating with the crowd, they did not force him. Soon, most of the people in the hall had left.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and waited for Li Nian toe and find her. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not leave, Xuan Sheng stayed behind.

    Xuan Sheng was different from his initial enthusiasm. At this moment, he no longer insisted on speaking to Xia Wanyuan. Instead, he sat on a chair and supported himself with his right hand. He unconsciously rubbed his ear studs. His eyes were turbulent and his emotions could not be seen.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen your shows, Miss Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was reading the textbook sent by the lecturer when Xuan Sheng spoke again. His tone was less frivolous now.

    ¡°My acting skills are so bad, but you can still watch on?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan herself was toozy to watch the television dramas that the original owner of the body filmed. It was hard for this person to think that the television series she acted in was good.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you are too humble. I admire you very much. This is my name card. I hope that I will have the chance to cooperate with you in the future.¡± Xuan Sheng handed a ck name card to Xia Wanyuan. There was a warm smile in his peach blossom eyes.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡± A deep voice sounded above her head. Jun Shiling had unknowingly walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know where Elder Zhong is.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling. The coldness in his voice was about to freeze.

    ¡°Young Master Jun, I¡¯ve heard so much about you.¡±

    Interrupted by Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden appearance, Xuan Sheng retracted his extended name card. His eyes darted between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling before he smiled and extended his hand to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did not even spare a nce at Xuan Sheng. He only looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to get up when the ribbon on her dress wrapped around the little hook on the armrest.

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head to untie it, but since the little bend was behind her, she could only reach out awkwardly to pull the ribbon.

    Xuan Sheng was about to help Xia Wanyuan, when Jun Shiling walked up to her and bent down to untie Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ribbon.

    As the hook was behind Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling stretched out his arm as if he was hugging her.

    Being half-carried by Jun Shiling, the faint scent of sandalwood wafted over. Xia Wanyuan raised her head and bumped into Jun Shiling¡¯s firm chest.

    Jun Shiling felt a hint of warmth in his arms. He lowered his head and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    At that moment, the two of them were so close that Xia Wanyuan could feel the heat emanating from Jun Shiling. The noise in the hall was cut off, and it was as if only the area in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms was quiet.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Jun Shiling clenched his fists and took a step back.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and followed Jun Shiling out of the hall.

    Xuan Sheng leanedzily on the chair and watched Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan leave. A teasing look shed across his eyes.

    Jun Shiling had never publicly announced that he had a girlfriend. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan, an unreachable flower on a high mountain, to turn out to be Jun Shiling¡¯s canary in the end.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s interest in Xia Wanyuan immediately disappeared by more than half. However, he had to admit that he had raised this canary well. At least, he had never yed with such a high-quality woman. He did not expect that Jun Shiling, who appeared to be restrained by abstinence outside, would actually y the game of hiding a mistress in a golden house.

    Xuan Sheng stood up and stretched. He unbuttoned his shirt and strode out of the hall.

    t was time for sses, not to mention that Elder Zhong¡¯s dormitory was hidden. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were the only ones walking side by side on the forest path.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say you wereing over during lunch?¡±

    The sun was shining brightly at that moment. Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood as she walked on the sunny path.

    ¡°The Jun Corporation has a project to coborate with Qing University, so I decided toe here at thest minute.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know much about the Jun Corporation¡¯s business, so she did not probe further.

    The tree branches by the road had just been trimmed. Xia Wanyuan picked up a soft willow branch from the bushes and folded it into a circle.

    A gentle breeze blew past, and flowers fell onto the grass. Xia Wanyuan squatted by the roadside and picked up many flowers from the grass. Jun Shiling was originally striding forward, but when he saw Xia Wanyuan stop, he stopped and stood at the side, waiting for her.

    Xia Wanyuan embedded all sorts of colorful flowers into the ring made of willow branches.

    In just a few minutes, a beautiful gand waspleted in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Does it look good?¡± Xia Wanyuan put on the gand over her head. The sunlight seemed to cast a patch of diamonds in her eyes. The colorful flowers on the gand were all dazzling, but they could notpare to the person wearing the gand¡¯s ring. It was exquisite and beautiful.

    Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes dark. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    By the time the two of them arrived at Elder Zhong¡¯s house, he had already waited for a while. Xia Wanyuan took off the gand and greeted him with a smile. ¡°Elder Zhong.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re finally here, Xiao Xia. I have something to discuss with you.¡±

    Elder Zhong led Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to the sofa and sat down. He had the intention of rmending Xia Wanyuan to join the Arts Association of Qing University. The reason he had asked Xia Wanyuan toe today was to discuss with her about sending a painting to the Chinese Artpetition that the university was holding.

    Taking advantage of today¡¯s lecture, he also spoke to Xia Wanyuan about this matter.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect that the four arts, which she had used to charm people in her previous life, would be so popr in the modern world. She naturally agreed to Elder Zhong¡¯s suggestion.

    At first, Elder Zhong had wanted to keep Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling for dinner, but as there were many important matters to attend to, there were some problems with the project under Elder Zhong. Elder Zhong chatted with Xia Wanyuan for a while before rushing to the office.

    ¡°Zhang Zhe, you brat, do you really treat us as coolies? Your girlfriend is so happy. Has she ever thought about how singles like us will feel?¡±

    Su Mei stretched. Zhang Zhe¡¯s girlfriend was moving out of the dormitory to live outside the school today. Everyone in their dormitory had been called over by Zhang Zhe to move things for his girlfriend. They had been busy all afternoon and were exhausted.

    ¡°There are so many beauties in Qing University. Haven¡¯t you always wanted to visit them? I¡¯m just fulfilling your wish.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, with a handsome brother like Xia Yu by our side, how would thosedies notice us?¡± Su Mei winked at Xia Yu, who snorted lightly.

    ¡ª¨C

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe I can see the living Jun Shiling in my life. I have no regrets in life!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s amazing. Even a bad student like me can understand such profound theories.¡±

    ¡°I just want to say that he¡¯s really handsome. There¡¯s no one in the entertainment industry who¡¯s as handsome as him.¡±

    Xia Yu and the rest were about to leave the school when they heard the students discussing the lecture excitedly.

    <h4>Chapter 68: Top Search</h4>

    ¡°Hey, were they talking about Jun Shiling just now?¡±

    When the group of students walked past, Su Mei said in surprise.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Why would Jun Shiling appear here? This is really Qing University, how amazing. They even managed to invite Jun Shiling.¡±

    As Xia Yu listened to their discussion, he suddenly recalled that he had not seen the little dumpling for a long time.

    ¡°Aish, I probably won¡¯t have the chance to meet a god-like big shot like Jun Shiling in my life.¡± Su Mei pursed his lips. ¡°The most amazing person I¡¯ve ever seen in my life was the city¡¯s leader when I went back as a volunteer. That was enough for me to brag about for a long time.¡±

    ¡°We have to hurry back to school. It¡¯ll be rush hour soon, so we have to stand the whole way back.¡±

    The four of them quickened their pace and walked out of the campus, waiting at the bus stop.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we take a taxi back?¡± Seeing that the bus was not here for a long time, Yang Lin suggested.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I think it¡¯ll be here soon. The bus is more worth it.¡± Su Mei sat on the flower bed beside the station casually.

    Yang Lin knew that his roommates were taking care of him so that he wouldn¡¯t have to pay more for the cab. Otherwise, with Xia Yu and the others¡¯ personalities, they would have taken the cab back to school long ago.

    Yang Lin wanted to say something and moved his mouth. In the end, he did not say anything. The warmth in his heart spread and promoted the friendship between these young people.

    ¡°The news on the Inte is out. Boss Jun Shiling really attended the lecture at Qing University today.¡±

    Su Mei was bored from waiting, so she started ying with her phone. She saw that the topic ¡°Jun Shiling is Great¡± was rising on the trending list, and the poprity was increasing.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the big boss. Just focus on your investment banking homework tomorrow. From what I know, you¡¯re not done yet, are you?¡±

    When Zhang Zhe said this, Su Mei instantly lost the mood to browse Weibo. ¡°Brother!!! Call me brother. Can I borrow your homework to take a look?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Hey, Zhang Zhe, you¡¯ve gone too far. Don¡¯t expect me to teach you a lesson in the future.¡±

    While the two of them were quarreling, a ck Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly stopped beside the bus stop.

    Everyone quieted down and looked at the car curiously.

    ¡°Little Master Xia, please get in the car.¡±

    The chauffeur walked towards Xia Yu and bowed respectfully.

    ¡°Who asked you toe?¡± Xia Yu thought of the live broadcast that night and decided to return to school first. Just as he was about to decline, the car window, which was originally tightly shut, opened.

    ¡°Get in the car.¡± Jun Shiling revealed half of his side profile, looking cold and determined.

    ]¡±Oh.¡± Xia Yu immediately got into the car obediently when he saw Jun Shiling cowering. It was only when he entered that he realized that Xia Wanyuan was also in the car.

    ¡°Sister.¡± Thest time he addressed Xia Wanyuan as Sister was on the phone. Now that he addressed her as Xia Wanyuan in person, Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head to hide it.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan epted it calmly.

    ¡°Brother-inw,¡± Xia Yu called out to Jun Shiling.

    In the past, he had thought that Jun Shiling hated Xia Wanyuan a lot and was about to get a divorce. However, after interacting with her, he felt that it was not the case. Not only did they not get a divorce, but they seemed to be bing more and more like a married couple.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling was stunned by the way Xia Yu addressed him. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and finally responded.

    ¡°Zhang Zhe, pinch me. Quick.¡±

    The extended phantom had already disappeared into the distance, but Su Mei still looked confused until the sharp pain on his arm woke him up.

    ¡°F*ck, Zhang Zhe, did you pinch me super hard?!!!¡± Su Mei shouted.

    ¡°You asked me to pinch you, okay?¡± Zhang Zhe rolled his eyes helplessly.?<i>I had only pinched him lightly. How could it be so exaggerated?</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m not hallucinating. It was really Jun Shiling just now!!! Jun Shiling, the richest man in the country and the top ten richest man in the world! I can brag about this for the rest of my life!¡±

    ¡°I feel that Xia Yu and Jun Shiling are quite close. Isn¡¯t the main point that our roommate is Jun Shiling¡¯s rtive?¡±

    ¡°F*ck, now that you mention it, I¡¯m also Jun Shiling¡¯s rtive.¡± Su Mei knew that Xia Yu was rich, but he didn¡¯t expect him to know Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Stop talking nonsense. The bus is here. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Route 2 stopped at the bus stop. The three of them could not be bothered to chat anymore and dashed into the car.

    From the moment the topic ¡°Jun Shiling is great¡± appeared on Weibo to taking first ce on the trending topic, it took less than three minutes.

    Because of the previous global magnate ranking, Jun Shiling had dominated the hot searches for one day and one night. Although he was not on Weibo, his Weibo was filled with his legendary top-tier traffic.

    Everyone clicked on it and saw that the screen in the square was showing a one minute video. From the angle of the video, it should have been secretly recorded by the participants.

    In the video, Jun Shiling was dressed in a ck suit and stood tall and straight. He looked elegant and calm as he gave a speech off script on stage, strong and confident.

    [ Mommy, the aura of a CEO that explodes the screen!!! How should I get such a big shot? I¡¯m quite anxious waiting online. ]

    [ Although he is indeed perfect, I still have to say that he has a fatal w¡ªhe will never get me. ]

    [ Even if a powerful man isn¡¯t handsome, the confidence in his bones is enough to kill all women, let alone someone who looks like this!!! Ahhh!!! I want to have monkeys with him!]

    [ The person in the video looks a little like my husband. On careful look, Huo, it¡¯s really my husband. ]

    [ When will my husband open his Weibo? I¡¯ve already prepared 9999 earthy words of love! ]

    Hence, the pitiful official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation was once again squeezed to the breaking point by enthusiasticizens who asked Jun Shiling to open a Weibo ount.

    Because of Jun Shiling¡¯s poprity, the lecture that originally belonged to the finance industry was also trending.

    Xuan Corporation reposted some publicity photos taken by the media.

    Theizens who had clicked on the topic because they were curious about what financial lecture Jun Shiling had attended were shocked by the Weibo post that the Xuan Corporation had reposted.

    Below Xuan Corporation¡¯s Weibo was a Weibo post that a marketing ount had prepared in advance, as it had anticipated the uing poprity.

    Weibo detailed the famous investment genius of the Xuan Corporation, Xuan Sheng.

    [ No, I just wanted to ask. It¡¯s fine if these people are talented and rich, but why are they so good-looking too? ]

    [ Wow!! This amorous guy with amorous eyes. What a devil incarnate! I love him!! My food! ]

    [ Alright, there are too many people waiting in line for Jun Shiling to distribute his wife card. I¡¯ve decided to queue here. When will my husband pick me up? ]

    [ The one in front, if you ate two peanuts, you wouldn¡¯t be so drunk. ]

    [ No, you love-struck fools. Other than looking at handsome guys, didn¡¯t you notice that the person sitting beside the handsome guy looks a little familiar? ]

    With this reminder, everyone shifted their gazes from the temptation of beauty to the person sitting beside Xuan Sheng.

    What they saw left their minds in confusion.

 Chapter 69 - Teammates Mindset Collapsed

    <h4>Chapter 69: Teammates¡¯ Mindset Copsed</h4>

    [ If I¡¯m not wrong, that person beside her is Xia Wanyuan, right??? ]

    [ Are you kidding me? How could Xia Wanyuan be invited to such a high-ss lecture? ]

    [ This b*tch couldn¡¯t have gone for Xuan Sheng, right? How dare she sit beside my husband and taint my eyes! ]

    [ Haha, go and take a look at Caixing Network¡¯s Weibo. This Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t even have an invitation letter. I wonder how she got in. ]

    Everyone followed thisment and found Caixing Network¡¯s Weibo.

    This Weibo post published a report on Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture. The report introduced the high-end quality of the lecture and introduced some important members of the conference. That was not the main point.

    What attracted the attention of theizens was a sentence in the report on Caixing. ¡°Due to its high-end quality, only people with invitations are allowed to attend this lecture. Our reporter saw on the spot that the famous movie star, Xia Wanyuan, was rejected because shecked an invitation.¡±

    In the hearts of the Chinese, Qing University was synonymous with the Institute of Knowledge and Higher Education. In China, where knowledge was important, the most intolerable thing was to use the entertainment industry to hype things up. Furthermore, it was Xia Wanyuan, a celebrity with a notorious record, who ignited everyone¡¯s anger.

    [ Do you have any shame? Do actors nowadays have no bottom line for publicity stunts? ]

    [ Even putting the names of Qing University and Xia Wanyuan together, I feel that Qing University has been humiliated. ]

    [ Why isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan out of the entertainment industry yet? ]

    [ Why can she enter the lecture without an invitation? Can she enter just because she has money? Is there a problem with the management of the Qing University? ]

    The yearning for the highest education institution, the disgust of using the big publicity stunts, and the loophole duty of managing the school caused this topic to continue to ferment.

    Netizens flooded into the official and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo ounts.

    Thetest Weibo post by Qing University was coincidentally a publicity post for Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture.

    [ Can one enter any of the lectures held by the highest education institution in the country? ]

    [ I want to attend Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture too. Can I enter without an invitation? ]

    [ Shouldn¡¯t youe out and exin? How did an actress without an invitation get into the lecture? Is there a problem with internal management? ]

    [ As the most prestigious university in the country, I hope that Qing University won¡¯t disappoint us. ]

    Needless to say, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo was filled with questions and insults.

    Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan and the rest back to the manor. The little dumpling had not finished school yet, so Jun Shiling went to the study to work while Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa watching the sheep and the wolf.

    Xia Yu rolled his eyes and expressed deep doubts about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mental age.

    ¡°Sister, you went to Elder Zhong¡¯s lecture today too?¡±

    Xia Yu scrolled through Weibo on the sofa for a while before suddenly speaking.

    ¡°Yes, why?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was tickled by the wolf-like appearance. When she turned around, her eyes were still shining. Seeing how happy Xia Wanyuan was without any worries, Xia Yu couldn¡¯t bring himself to say what he wanted to say.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I was just asking.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan continued to read her posts. Xia Yu lowered his head and frowned when he saw the criticism and insults directed at Xia Wanyuan on Weibo.

    Looking at the criticism and insults directed at Xia Wanyuan on Weibo, Xia Yu typed more than a hundred words angrily. Just as he clicked on the post, a notification popped up saying, ¡°You¡¯ve been reported. Please watch your words and actions.¡± Xia Yu was so angry that he almost threw his phone.

    By the time the little dumpling returned, Xia Yu had finished his meal in trepidation under Jun Shiling¡¯s high pressure. When he looked at the time, it was already time for the scheduled live broadcast every night.

    Due to the fact that Xia Yu had obtained a few treasure chests in the early stages of the broadcast, he had attracted arge number of viewers. In addition, Xia Yu¡¯s skills were really good, so he was easily promoted. When he first started the broadcast, he was still a star, but after a few days of live broadcasts, he had already rushed to the top of the regional leaderboard.

    Xia Yu¡¯s ying style was aggressive, ambitious, and talented. His poprity kept rising. The tform had noticed this new broadcaster and had signed a contract with him early on, nurturing him as a key target. They had been rmending him on the homepage for the past two days.

    With a rmendation spot, he had to live-stream on time. Seeing that it was almost time for the live-stream, Xia Yu approached Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up a strawberry and ate it. Xia Yu looked like he had something to say.

    ¡°Do you have an extraputer here? I have something to do.¡±

    Xia Yu was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would know that he was doing a gaming live-stream and say that he was not doing his job, so he could only speak vaguely.

    ¡°There¡¯s one in the guest room upstairs. Go and use it.¡±

    With permission, Xia Yu went upstairs himself.

    [ Open the door, open the door! ]

    [ Why isn¡¯t Brother here today? ]

    [ Why is the person in front calling him little brother?? Big Brother already said we¡¯re not allowed to call him little brother. ]

    [ Host, you should be able to get on the King of Glory today, right? Can you y more tricks? I want to learn. ]

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a littlete for something today. The live broadcast begins now.¡±

    Under everyone¡¯s calls, Xia Yu finally started his live-stream.

    [ Ahhh, little brother, you¡¯re finally here! ]

    [ Brother, why are you sote today? Where did you go to y? ]

    ¡°I¡¯m at my sister¡¯s house today. I just finished eating, so I¡¯m a littlete.¡±

    Xia Yu started the game and picked out a fewments to reply.

    The tform gave Xia Yu a rmendation spot. Not long after the broadcast began, Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream appeared on the front page and more and more people entered.

    ¡°Victory!¡±

    As the sound of another victory rang, thements were filled with 666. After this victory, Xia Yu had already reached 49 stars. The next round would be the most important advancement round.

    ¡°Wee to King¡¯s Glory.¡±

    The game began and everyone waited excitedly for Xia Yu to finish the game.

    ¡°Uncle, do you want milk?¡±

    A child¡¯s childish voice suddenly sounded in the live-stream.

    [????????]

    [ Where did this child¡¯s voicee from? ]

    [ What a cute voice. ]

    ¡°No need. Good boy, Uncle doesn¡¯t drink it.¡±

    Xia Yu put down the phone in his hand and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Uncle, this is delicious. I saved it for you.¡± Xiao Bao blinked and handed Xia Yu the milk that he felt was the best.

    ¡°Okay, thank you, little one.¡± Xia Yu took the milk and scooped Xiao Bao up before carrying him onto hisp.

    Xia Yu¡¯s camera was only pointed below his head, so the audience could only see a small figure dressed in Pikachu sitting obediently in Xia Yu¡¯s arms.

    The female fans in the live-stream felt that he was so adorable that their hearts trembled.

    In the game, ever since the jungler entered the game, he had been standing rooted to the ground, not moving for a long time, his teammates were already filled with question marks.

    Xia Yu quickly finished a bottle of milk and picked up his phone to y games.

    ¡°Uncle, what is this?¡±

    Xiao Bao grabbed Xia Yu¡¯s arm and asked curiously as he looked at the images on the phone.

    ¡°This is a small game.¡±

    After Xia Yu went out and yed the jungle, he was the first person to be killed. His teammates finally recovered from their breakdown.

    ¡°I want to y. Uncle, y with me for a while.¡± Xiao Bao reached for his phone.

    Xia Yu passed the phone to Xiao Bao. When Xiao Bao took it, he identally pressed the voice button for the entire team.

    ¡°It¡¯s fun.¡± Xiao Bao pressed the skill button, and the cool special effects made him exim.

    However, when his teammates in the game heard this childish voice, their mentality copsed.

    ¡°A primary school student??¡±

    ¡°A primary school student ying Glory Bureau??¡±

    ¡°Just surrender, we¡¯re done for.¡±

 Chapter 70 - King

    <h4>Chapter 70: King</h4>

    [ Hahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. The teammate¡¯s mentality has copsed. ]

    [ Boohoo, what kind of god uncle is this? He can even y Glory Advancement Bureau for his nephew to y casually. ]

    [ I don¡¯t know if I should be envious of such a good uncle or of such a cute nephew. ]

    [ I¡¯m here to watch the broadcaster y games, not to watch children scam their teammates, okay? Can you y properly? If you can¡¯t, why are you doing a live broadcast? ]

    In the game, Xiao Bao did not know the game mechanism. He casually yed a few skills and the screen went ck. After dying three times, Xiao Bao lost interest.

    And due to theck of a jungler, after three waves of team battles, even three of our high towers had been taken down by the opponent, they were about to lose.

    After ying the game for a long time, Xia Yu knew what the haters in King¡¯s Game were like. Hence, he switched off the team¡¯s voice chat in advance, but his teammate couldn¡¯t help but type.

    ¡°Hurry up and surrender. What¡¯s the point of ying like this?¡±

    ¡°Next round, the primary school students these days are really interesting. They¡¯re so scammy.¡±

    ¡°Hai, this is my chance to advance.¡±

    Their teammates had been wiped out while they were talking. There were five people left on the other side, and they were valiantly preparing to take down our base with their minions.

    ¡°Uncle, I think you should y. It¡¯s not fun.¡± Xiao Bao pursed his lips and returned the phone to Xia Yu.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu took the phone and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Let me show you.¡±

    Seeing that the five enemies who were at full health were nearing their base, his teammates pressed the surrender button one after another. The mysterious person who had been strolling in the jungle and sleepwalking the entire time slowly returned to the base.

    Although the phone had returned to Xia Yu¡¯s hand, he no longer had any hope against five people, be it his teammates or the audience.

    [ All the best, little brother! The hope of the entire vige! ]

    [ It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing. We¡¯ll y again in the next round. ]

    [ That¡¯s all, you piece of trash. ]

    Ignoring what was happening on the screen, Xia Yu controlled his character in the game. He first created an ingenious blind spot and quickly, urately, and ruthlessly hooked the archer opposite him. He pulled him out and with two strokes, the archer was gone.

    While the other party came to protect the archers, Xia Yu moved over and cleared the troops first.

    Then, he turned his hand and cleverly moved to dodge the opponent¡¯s control skill. He urately approached the other main damage dealer¡¯s position by the limit of the skill and finished off the opposing mage in a few moves.

    Every time the Xuan Master killed a person, he would refresh his passive skills. The more he fought, the braver he became. After killing the Mage, the Xuan Master crazily reaped the lives of the remaining three people.

    A few secondster, there were enemy corpses in front of our base. The Xuan Master, who was covered in lightning, stood in front of the base like a miracle.

    With the announcement of ¡°Five Peerless¡±, Xuan Ce led his troops and charged into the opponent¡¯s base and won the game.

    ¡°666¡±

    ¡°NB primary school student!¡±

    [6666666666]

    [ 6666 You¡¯re amazing!!! ]

    [ One person to defend one city! Awesome! ]

    [ That¡¯s too amazing. I¡¯ve subscribed to it. ]

    At that moment, the screen was filled with 666 messages.

    Although Xiao Bao did not understand the game, he knew that his uncle had fought with many people, and his uncle had even won. ¡°Wow! How are you so good, Uncle?!¡±

    ¡°Alright, you can¡¯t look at your phone anymore. It¡¯s bad for your eyes. Go and look for your mother.¡± Worried that the phone andputer would affect Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes, Xia Yu pinched his face and put him down.

    ¡°Okay, Uncle. I¡¯lle and y with youter ~¡±

    ¡°Yes. Good boy.¡±

    [ Oh my god, the arrogant little brother is so gentle in front of his nephew. I suddenly don¡¯t want to be a sister anymore. I have a bold idea. ]

    ][ The one in front, stop your bold idea. No, your younger brother has just be an adult! ]

    [ Is there a team that steals children? ]

    [ Yes, yes, yes. Let¡¯s go and steal the child tonight. He¡¯s so cute that I¡¯m crying. ]

    ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. I¡¯m my sister¡¯s younger brother and my nephew belongs to my sister too.¡± Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help but insult everyone when he saw thements on the screen.

    [?? Brother, can you be a little kinder? ]

    [ I¡¯m so envious of my younger brother¡¯s sister. She has such a cute younger brother and son. I feel like she¡¯s a goddess. ]

    [ I¡¯m so envious of the sister too. What goddess is she? She¡¯s probably beautiful and kind-hearted. ]

    Thements were all praising Xia Yu¡¯s sister, and many of them had just scolded Xia Wanyuan on Weibo Square beforeing to watch the live broadcast.

    Because the one versus five kill was too exciting, Xia Yu¡¯s poprity soared. By the time the live broadcast ended, there were already tens of thousands of people watching his live stream online.

    ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s live broadcast. See you tomorrow.¡±

    Xia Yu had just switched off the live broadcast when Xia Wanyuan came in with a te of fruits.

    At that moment, theputer was filled withments. ¡°What is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream screen curiously.

    ¡°It¡¯s a gaming live broadcast.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had seen it, Xia Yu stopped hiding.

    ¡°What is a gaming live stream?¡± Xia Wanyuan had never watched or yed games in the modern world, so she naturally didn¡¯t understand what Xia Yu was talking about.

    ¡°Tsk, why don¡¯t you know anything?¡± Xia Yu frowned, as if he despised Xia Wanyuan. However, he quickly exined the situation to her in detail.

    ¡°I¡¯m not doing my job anyway. I have nothing to do so I wanted something to kill time,¡± Xia Yu said and mocked himself nonchntly.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you have a lot of audience just now? You¡¯re pretty amazing. Do your job well. There will definitely be more people who like you.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not have many rules and regtions. Her ability to ept new things was still quite strong.

    When she came in just now, she saw so manyments on Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream. Many people must have liked him.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. His lips curled up involuntarily. ¡°Hmph, do I need you to tell me that there are many people who like me no matter what I do?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll try that game too. How should I y it?¡±

    It wasn¡¯t that Xia Wanyuan liked ying games. She just wanted to experience the new era.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was interested in this, Xia Yu told her about how to register and operate theputer as he said that she would not be able to y it well.

    That night, after Jun Shiling finished his work and returned to the bedroom, he saw Xia Wanyuan ying games with her phone. Xiao Bao felt that the game was not attractive to him, so he held aic book and sat beside Xia Wanyuan to read.

    ¡­¡­..

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. It was the most popr phone game at the moment.?<i>This woman was quite good at being trendy.</i>

    ¡°Mommy, why are you still 0-7? You¡¯re not as good as me.¡±

    Xiao Bao looked curiously at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results, then curved his big eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled in embarrassment.?<i>Well, one had to be considerate of an old antique who was more than a thousand years old.</i>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan die again, his teammate began to curse.

    ¡°Stupid.¡± There was a hint of a smile in his deep voice. A pair of jade-like hands reached over and took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone.

 Chapter 71 - WeChat Password

    <h4>Chapter 71: WeChat Password</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. Jun Shiling had easily taken a person¡¯s head with a flick of his fingers.

    Xiao Bao wanted to lean over and y with Jun Shiling, but he was stopped by Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Your eyes can¡¯t take it. Don¡¯t look.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, bad Daddy. Fine, I won¡¯t look.¡± Xiao Bao pouted and sat down with his back facing Jun Shiling, ignoring his father.

    ¡°Do you y this too?¡± No matter how she looked at it, Jun Shiling didn¡¯t seem like someone who would y games in private.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s my first time ying.¡± As Jun Shiling spoke, he had already gotten Xia Wanyuan¡¯s score to increase to 9-7. Her teammate, who had been scolding Xia Wanyuan, fell silent.

    ¡°Amazing.¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed.?<i>As expected, an intelligent person was good at everything.</i>

    Jun Shiling received Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise, and with Xia Wanyuan watching from the side, he did not show it on his face. However, his actions became even more ruthless, beating the opponent until he surrendered.

    ¡°Impressive.¡± Looking at the words¡¯ victory ¡®on the phone screen, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into a smile. Jun Shiling turned his head and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phoenix eyes, which were filled with smiles. His breathing paused.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you my ount number. Help me y when you¡¯re free.¡±

    As soon as she said this, Xia Wanyuan felt that something was wrong. It seemed that she had been too casual with Jun Shiling recently. Such a request was not logical to the busy Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    Upon hearing this, Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. There was a deep darkness in his eyes that Xia Wanyuan could not understand.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t mind?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little confused by Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude, so she followed his words.

    ¡°I have time to help you.¡± Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling agreed very quickly.

    ¡°Give me your WeChat password.¡± Jun Shiling took out his phone and downloaded the game.

    As a result, Big Boss Jun¡¯s phone, which only had a few apps all year round, finally weed a new partner.

    There was finally some space for him to y with the high-quality phone that had hundreds of GB.

    ¡°Huh? Oh.¡± Logging into the game did seem to require authorization. Anyway, there was nothing shameful in her WeChat, so Xia Wanyuan simply entered the password into Jun Shiling¡¯s phone.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shed as he watched Xia Wanyuan input the password into his phone step by step.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time after typing the password. It was time to sleep. ¡°Xiao Bao, it¡¯s time to sleep.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Mommy.¡±

    Xiao Bao obediently put down theic book and opened his arms to Xia Wanyuan, nting a kiss on her face that smelled like milk.

    Then Xiao Bao turned to look at Jun Shiling and snorted provocatively. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re bad. I¡¯m not kissing you today!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. He suddenly felt that there was no need to implement quality education in this family. This little dumpling was getting mischievous. It was time to beat him up.

    Qing University did not need to publicize much in the media to be famous. Hence, when the Qing University opened Weibo, they did not pay attention to the Inte in real time. Hence, they did not notice that the topic of the Qing University had be so popr.

    It was not until the next day when he went to work and opened Weibo that he realized that there was a sea of red dots. He was so frightened that he thought that he had been discovered drinking milk tea in his office yesterday and was collectively denounced.

    He clicked on it and saw that it was not to denounce him.?<i>Huh?! It was actually to say that there was a management loophole in the lecture.</i>

    This time, the problem was even bigger. The operator was so frightened that he hurriedly reported to the school.

    It was going to be the annual student recruitment season soon, not to mention that the Qing University represented the reputation of the most prestigious university in the country. Hence, the school naturally took this matter very seriously and immediately contacted Elder Zhong to confirm it.

    When Elder Zhong heard the news, he wanted to rify it himself. ¡°Quick, open a Weibo ount for me. I want to go up and rify.¡±

    ¡°Teacher, if you rify now, theizens will only say that Miss Xia entered the lecture through connections. It won¡¯t be good for you or her. Why don¡¯t you wait for the results of the Chinese Arts Competition to be released? It won¡¯t be toote to rify then. Anyway, it¡¯s going to happen in the next two days.¡±

    Li Nian had a good understanding of the matters on the Inte. After hearing what she said, Elder Zhong felt that she was right. He immediately called Professor Zhang and asked about the Chinese Art Awards. After knowing that the results would be out the day after tomorrow, Elder Zhong was relieved.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills, he believed that it would not be a problem for her to get first ce. When the time came, her status as a guest consultant in Chinese arts would be more useful than anything else.

    ¡°Hubby, you¡¯ve worked hard. Come here, I¡¯ll massage your shoulders.¡±

    Seeing that Father Xia had finished his work, Han Yuan hurriedly brought over a cup of tea. She stood behind Father Xia with her belly sticking out and gently massaged his neck.

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯re pregnant. Stop working and rest well.¡± Father Xia pulled Han Yuan to a chair and sat down, then carefully touched her stomach.

    ¡°Hubby, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Han Yuan leaned into Father Xia¡¯s arms, but her eyes were already cold. If not for the fact that she was counting on Xia Wanyuan to get some money for Father Xia¡¯s sake and save the Xia family¡¯spany, she would not have bothered to feign civility with Father Xia.

    ¡°Why have you been so considerate these two days?¡± Because of the Xia family¡¯spany, Father Xia was so anxious that his hair had turned gray.

    ¡°There will always be a way when the timees. I believe that you will definitely be able to make aeback. The baby and I still need you.¡± Han Yuan rolled her eyes, but her actions were very passionate.

    Father Xia was touched. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When the child is born, I will write those properties under his name.¡±

    At that moment, Father Xia¡¯s phone rang.

    Father Xia looked at Han Yuan awkwardly and finally picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, Wanyuan.¡±

    Upon hearing that it was Xia Wanyuan who had called, Han Yuan was delighted. The matter must have been settled.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Father Xia hung up the phone and carefully observed Han Yuan¡¯s expression. He realized that she did not explode upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name as she usually did. He was relieved. It seemed that Han Yuan had truly be much more sensible.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Wanyuan? What¡¯s the matter with her?¡± Recalling how Xia Wanyuan had agreed to go and ask Jun Shiling for help the other day, Han Yuan¡¯s smile had a hint of authenticity.

    ¡°Wanyuan said she wanted to see me about something and asked me to meet her at thepany.¡± At this point, Father Xia was a little confused.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan had never gotten along with Han Yuan. Ever since she married into the Jun family, she rarely contacted her family. Why did she suddenly want to meet me today?</i>

    <i>And why did she want to meet at the Xia family¡¯spany?</i>

    ¡°Then hurry up and go. Wanyuan probably has something important to tell you,¡± Han Yuan said considerately.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing how sensible Han Yuan was, Father Xia didn¡¯t say anything more and got up to rush to thepany.

    When Father Xia¡¯s figure disappeared from the door, Han Yuan¡¯s smile finally disappeared. She took out her phone and sent a message to the group of sisters, ¡°I¡¯ll treat everyone to a vacation in Europe next month.¡±

 Chapter 72 - Negotiation with Father Xia

    <h4>Chapter 72: Negotiation with Father Xia</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Xia family¡¯spany. Unlike the Jun Corporation, which was rich and imposing, the Xia family¡¯spany was located in an office building in Beijing¡¯s Fifth Ring Road.

    However, in Beijing, being able to afford to rent an entire office building meant that the Xia family used to be rtively rich.

    However, at that moment, thepany was in a state of depression. Because thepany had dered bankruptcy, many employees had already chosen another path. Thepany that used to be prosperous and lively could only see groups of employees packing their things and preparing to leave.

    ¡°Wanyuan?¡±

    When Father Xia arrived at thepany, he pushed the door open. If not for that extremely recognizable face, Father Xia would not dare to recognize her as his pretty daughter.

    Xia Wanyuan wore a short ck cardigan jacket, paired with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt and a pair of ck high boots, making her look cold and elegant.

    What surprised Father Xia even more was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confident and powerful aura. He had been in business for so many years, so he had naturally trained his ability to judge people very well. But at this moment, he could actually see the aura of a leader in his daughter.

    <i>Could it be that one is marked by thepany one keeps? How could her marriage to Jun Shiling affect my daughter so much?</i>

    ¡°Okay,e and sit.¡±

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan still could not call him ¡®Daddy¡¯. Although the original owner of the body¡¯s father was a little weak and biased, he treated the original owner of the body pretty well. Unfortunately, the soul in this body had changed to the Xia Wanyuan from a thousand years ago, and she could not bring herself to call him that.

    ¡°W-what do you want from me?¡± Father Xia sat in front of Xia Wanyuan hesitantly. He felt that his

    ¡°The Xia family is bankrupt, right? I can inject funds into the Xia family.¡±

    ¡°Really? Wanyuan, you¡­ Is it because Master Jun is willing to help us?¡± Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Father Xia was overjoyed.?<i>Didn¡¯t Jun Shiling hate Xia Wanyuan a lot? Could it be that Xia Wanyuan had truly secured her position as Madam Jun?</i>?Thinking of this, Father Xia looked at Xia Wanyuan even more passionately.

    ¡°It¡¯s not him, it¡¯s me.¡± Seeing the light in Father Xia ¡®s eyes grow brighter, Xia Wanyuan added, ¡°But I have a condition.¡±

    ¡°What condition?¡± Father Xia was stunned.

    ¡°I want you to transfer all your shares to me.¡±

    ¡°What?!!¡± Father Xia had thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s condition might be to give her some shares after the Xia family rose again, but he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to want all his shares.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you three days to consider. Even if you don¡¯t give me your shares, the Xia family¡¯s capital chain is already broken. You also know that no one will be willing to invest in this mess.¡± Xia Wanyuan slowly broke down Father Xia ¡®s psychological defense. ¡°Besides, are you going to watch the Xia family¡¯spany end in your generation?¡±

    After speaking, Xia Wanyuan observed Father Xia ¡®s reaction. She estimated that this matter was about to end, so she left the office, leaving Father Xia to think alone.

    As he watched Xia Wanyuan leave, Father Xia felt that this person was too unfamiliar. However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words had indeed taken root in his heart and sprouted.

    It was difficult for him to decide what to do with all the shares in the Xia family.

    Father Xia walked down the stairs in a daze. The once lively office was now devoid of life.

    When some employees saw Father Xia , they did not greet him respectfully as usual and just ignored him coldly.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Director Xia?¡±

    As soon as Father Xia left thepany, he met his former right-hand man, Zhou Kang. Before the Xia family went bankrupt, Zhou Kang had been very respectful to Father Xia .

    Zhou Kang had strongly rmended the film investment case back then. The reason why Father Xia had invested in it was partly because he trusted his trusted aide¡¯s judgment.

    ¡°Zhou Kang? Where are you going?¡± Ever since the Xia family went bankrupt, Zhou Kang had left the Xia family¡¯spany. Although Father Xia was bitterly disappointed, he knew that everyone had to live, so he did not me Zhou Kang too much.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to be the finance director of Dingsheng Company opposite.¡± Speaking of this, Zhou Kang¡¯s face was full of smugness, and his tone was filled with obvious pride.

    ¡°Dingsheng? You!¡± Dingsheng could be said to be the Xia family¡¯s rivalpany. Moreover, Dingsheng had fought with the Xia family for five years. Zhou Kang could go to anypany, but Father Xia could not ept going to Dingsheng.

    ¡°So what if it¡¯s Dingsheng? Dingsheng gave me a high position and high sry. Director Xia, you¡¯re so rich that you definitely won¡¯t fancy them, but they¡¯re still quite attractive to me.¡± Zhou Kang looked at how his former boss had fallen and could not help but feel a strong sense of superiority.

    ¡°Oh, I have to go to thepany now. See youter, Director Xia.¡± Zhou Kang looked at his watch and greeted Father Xia symbolically. Before Father Xia could reply, he turned and left.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at this subordinate who had once tried to curry favor with him. Now, he looked so arrogant because of his bankruptcy. He felt depressed. He could not help but think of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s conditions and slowly made a decision.

    At the Jun Corporation headquarters.

    ¡°President Jun, this is the investment n for ourpany this quarter. Please take a look.¡± The director of the investment department handed the proposal to Jun Shiling nervously.

    ¡°Film?¡± The Jun Corporation had always been involved in this aspect. In the past years, there had also been investments in the film industry, but they did not ount for much and did not ount for much either. This year, the proposal submitted by the investment department had increased the investment share in the film industry.

    ¡°Yes, President Jun, after our investigation, we¡¯ve discovered that due to the poprity of the Korean wave a few years ago, the development of the domestic entertainment industry has been very abnormal. And in the past two years, after the Korean wave subsided, the domestic film industry began to develop. The investment department thinks that there is room for investment in the current film industry.¡±

    The change in investment in film and television this year was rtivelyrge. The director of the investment department knew that Jun Shiling would definitely ask about this, so he took out the data that he had prepared beforehand and reported to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Organize the film and television data for the past ten years and send them to me. You can leave first.¡± After hearing the investment director¡¯s analysis, Jun Shiling did not agree, but some thoughts arose in his heart.

    ¡°Yes, President Jun.¡±

    After the investment director left the office, Jun Shiling finished dealing with the matters that had happened in the morning. He took out his phone, logged into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat, and clicked on King of Glory.

    Lin Jing carried the lunch box into Jun Shiling¡¯s office as usual. The moment he entered, he realized that the usually quiet office had an inappropriate sound of gaming special effects.

    When Lin Jing had time, he would y games for a while. Naturally, he knew what the sound effects were. However, the sound effects appearing in Jun Shiling¡¯s office really made him feel horrified.

    But Lin Jing was still the special assistant of the Jun Corporation steadily. Even though his heart was racing, he still put away the lunch box expressionlessly and said calmly, ¡°Young Master Jun, lunch is ready.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± After winning the game, Jun Shiling was about to switch off his phone when a new message popped up on WeChat.

    ¡°Wanyuan, the production team is about to enter the publicity phase. Do you have time toe out for a meal tomorrow? Let¡¯smunicate first?¡±

    The sender was Qin Wu.

 Chapter 73 - Escort

    <h4>Chapter 73: Escort</h4>

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow. Although he knew that he was prying into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s privacy, he could not help but click on the WeChat message.

    The profile picture of this person named Qin Wu was that of a gentle and sunny man.

    Looking at the message asking Xia Wanyuan to go for a meal, Jun Shiling pursed his lips and his eyes darkened.

    ¡°Who is Qin Wu?¡±

    Lin Jing was about to leave when Jun Shiling suddenly stopped him.

    It had to be said that Assistant Lin¡¯s sry of nearly ten million dors a year was not for nothing.

    Facing Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden question, Lin Jing went through it in his mind before quickly locking onto a document he had checked before.

    ¡°Qin Wu is a rtively well-known actor, and he¡¯s also the male lead in the production of the Long Bad with Madam.¡±

    ¡°Got it. You may leave.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± As long as Jun Shiling did not continue asking, Lin Jing would definitely not ask what his superior was thinking.

    Jun Shiling switched off his phone and sat at the table to eat.

    Qin Wu thought about it for a long time before finally using the excuse of the production team¡¯s announcement to send Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message. However, Xia Wanyuan did not reply for a long time, so Qin Wu sent another message.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you busy?¡±

    His phone vibrated, and Jun Shiling nced at it.?<i>Wanyuan? He sounded quite intimate.</i>

    There was no more message from his phone. Only Jun Shiling¡¯s quiet chewing could be heard in the office.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, um, you need toe to thepany for a while.¡± After leaving the Xia family¡¯spany, Xia Wanyuan was about to return to the manor when she received a call from Chen Yun.

    Xia Wanyuan arrived at the building where Creating Star Entertainment was located. It was a building with an extremely modern architectural style.

    Unlike the strictness of the Jun Corporation, Star Creation Entertainment had electronic posters of its celebrities everywhere. Once they entered the hall, they saw brief introductions of their celebrities everywhere.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this our little princess? Tsk, the little princess took time out of her busy schedule toe to thepany today. The sun is rising from the west today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was waiting for the elevator and reading the artist¡¯s introduction on the wall when she suddenly heard a female voice with obvious hostility.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw an extremely beautiful woman. Beside her were two other simrly dressed women.

    The poster of the person in front of her was hung on the wall. Xia Wanyuan recognized it immediately. This person belonged to the samepany as the original owner of the body and was also considered a new popr starlet, Xie Rou.

    ]A beautiful woman would always have an extremely sensitive feeling towards another beautiful woman. Xie Rou didn¡¯t feel it when Xia Wanyuan was standing there just now.

    But when Xia Wanyuan turned her head just now, that pair of eyes that were like the mountains after the rain startled her subconsciously.?<i>Didn¡¯t I hear that something had happened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family? Why did I feel that this person was getting more and more beautiful?</i>

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wless skin, jealousy shed across Xie Rou¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Hey, why are you ignoring me?¡±?<i>Based on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s character in the past, she would explode at the slightest provocation. How could she not react after being ridiculed like this today?</i>

    ¡°I only care about people.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned a deaf ear to Xie Rou¡¯s constant provocations. Only when the elevator reached the 16th floor did Xia Wanyuan leave the elevator.

    ????

    ¡°What does she mean?¡± Xie Rou thought for a long time but still didn¡¯t understand what Xia Wanyuan meant.

    Meanwhile, the two celebrities beside her had already understood what she meant. They lowered their heads and secretly mocked Xie Rou.

    It was not until they reached the office that Xie Rou reacted. ¡°This little b*tch scolded me??¡±

    No matter how angry Xie Rou was, it had nothing to do with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, you have to be considerate of thepany¡¯s difficulties, right? You can¡¯t get a role here, thepany can¡¯t support you for nothing.¡±

    Supervisor Jin nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wless face and felt a little regretful. This Xia Wanyuan was quite good-looking, but unfortunately, she could not be popr.

    In the past, he could still raise her in thepany and let her mess around because her family had donated funds. But now that the Xia family had stopped investing funds, he could not continue to support her for nothing.

    ¡°Then what do you need me to do?¡±

    From the moment she entered the office, Xia Wanyuan had been quietly listening to Supervisor Jin. After understanding Supervisor Jin¡¯s personality and his basic intentions foring, Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.

    ¡°Thepany won¡¯t be able to ept any script endorsements, so you¡¯ll have to rmend yourself to the investors and directors.¡± Supervisor Jin grinned. ¡°If you can get resources, thepany will definitely do its best to nurture you.¡±

    ¡°Self-rmendation?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was still not too familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry and was somewhat puzzled.

    ¡°There¡¯s going to be an investor¡¯s dinnerter. Come with me. If the investor thinks that you have the potential to invest, you won¡¯t have to worry about film resources and endorsements in the future.¡±

    As soon as Supervisor Jin finished speaking, coldness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. For a moment, Supervisor Jin felt a fatal coldness from Xia Wanyuan. When he looked at Xia Wanyuan again in a daze, he realized that she had returned to normal.

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Supervisor Jin.¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips curled up slightly, making her look breathtaking.

    Seeing how sensible Xia Wanyuan was and how beautiful she was, Supervisor Jin was in a good mood. It seemed like the investment this time was stable.

    Supervisor Jin brought Xia Wanyuan to an extremely luxurious KTV in Beijing. Although it was called a KTV, it was actually an entertainment venue that integrated all kinds of entertainment and games. It was extremely luxurious, so the people who came were either rich or noble.

    ¡°Hey, that woman is really something.¡±

    Bo Xiao was drinking coffee by the window without interest when his friend suddenly eximed.

    Bo Xiao pursed his lips. ¡°Whoever you see is the best.¡± No one couldpare to his sister-inw in terms of beauty.

    ¡°No, I swear. Look!¡± His friend pulled Bo Xiao towards the door. Bo Xiao looked over reluctantly and was stunned.

    ¡°Look, don¡¯t you think she¡¯s especially pretty? Sigh, such a beautiful person can go anywhere with a lot of money. Why is she so stupid to be an escort?¡± His friend mumbled regretfully.

    ¡°What escort?¡± Bo Xiao was puzzled.?<i>Why was Xia Wanyuan here? And what did my friend mean by escort?</i>

    ¡°The one beside her is Supervisor Jin from Star Creation Entertainment. I know him. He specializes in getting investors to drink with her artistes. His reputation in the industry is pretty bad. It¡¯s a pity for this beauty.¡±

    Seeing that Bo Xiao kept staring at the woman beside Supervisor Jin, his good friend thought that Bo Xiao had taken a fancy to that beauty. ¡°Hey, if you like her, I¡¯ll give you Supervisor Jin¡¯s contact number another day. Thisdy is indeed of the highest quality. Even I¡­¡±

    ¡°If you want to live for a few more days, shut your mouth.¡± Seeing his friend getting more and more ridiculous, Bo Xiao scolded him.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had entered the elevator with Supervisor Jin, Bo Xiao felt that something was wrong, so he called Jun Shiling.

 Chapter 74 - Angry

    <h4>Chapter 74: Angry</h4>

    ¡°CEO Liang, CEO Li, I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte. I¡¯ll drink three sses as a punishment.¡±

    The moment Supervisor Jin pushed open the door, he had already put on a socializing smile and bowed humbly.

    ¡°Supervisor Jin, you made us wait so long. It¡¯s not right for you not to drink the wine today.¡±

    ¡°I took so long to bring a beauty here today. CEO Li, please forgive me on ount of our beauty.¡±

    ¡°Since Supervisor Jin said she¡¯s a great beauty, I¡¯m looking forward to it. If not for her, Supervisor Jin wouldn¡¯t have been able to avoid these ten sses of wine.¡±

    In the luxurious private room, everyone was full of anticipation when they heard Supervisor Jin mention the great beauty. After all, they were very satisfied with what Supervisor Jin brought every time.

    ¡°Come, Xiao Xia,e in.¡±

    Supervisor Jin waved at Xia Wanyuan, who took a step into the house and appeared in front of everyone.

    The originally noisy private room instantly fell silent.

    Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a rather cold and elegant manner that day. Her pair of long bootsplemented her slender legs, and her aura was fully released. She had lightly applied makeup, but it could not hide her exquisite figure. Her beautiful eyes looked around and were overflowing with splendor.

    CEO Liang, who was sitting in the middle of the room, even forgot to put down the wine ss in his hand.

    ¡°Haha, how is it? CEO Liang, CEO Li, for the sake of this beauty, I don¡¯t have to drink anymore, right?¡±

    Seeing CEO Liang and CEO Li¡¯s reactions, Supervisor Jin smiled smugly. He knew that with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty, this matter would definitely seed.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, right?¡± CEO Liang put down his wine ss, but his eyes were glued to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come,e,e, sit here.¡±

    With that, he pushed the woman in his arms aside. The woman red at Xia Wanyuan with jealousy.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just sit here.¡±

    Instead of sitting beside CEO Liang, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa furthest away.

    ¡°What?¡± A sh of displeasure shed across CEO Liang¡¯s eyes as he looked at Supervisor Jin.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, there¡¯s no one else here, so I¡¯ll be straightforward with you. If you serve CEO Liang and CEO Li well today, you¡¯ll naturally have an endless stream of endorsements.¡± At this point, there was a hint of ruthlessness in Supervisor Jin¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you don¡¯t know your ce, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡±

    ¡°Oh? I don¡¯t understand how to serve?¡± The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Of course. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you¡¯re sensible enough, I¡¯ll give you whatever resources you want for the endorsement,¡± CEO Liang said as he pulled the beauty over and kissed her on the cheek. His hand reached out to her chest and rubbed it.

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes at CEO Liang¡¯s oily appearance.

    Meanwhile, in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bag, which no one had noticed, a small camera was constantly shing with infrared light, recording everything that was strange in the house.

    ¡°Then I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled gently. Although she was magnificent, the words that came out of her mouth were cold. ¡°I¡¯m quite insensible.¡±

    Oh, look. It¡¯s understandable that this youngdy is so arrogant.¡± The middle-aged man called CEO Li poured a ss of wine and walked over to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come, Miss Xia. It¡¯s our first time meeting. Let¡¯s have a drink.¡±

    A victorious smile shed across CEO Li¡¯s eyes as Xia Wanyuan epted the wine ss. As long as she drank this wine, no matter how immature a person was, she would be sensible.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly picked up the wine ss and was about to close in on her red lips when she suddenly sshed the entire ss of wine on CEO Li¡¯s face. The red wine dripped with CEO Li¡¯s hair, making him look extremely disheveled.

    ¡°You little hussy, I gave you face?¡± CEO Li had never been treated like this before. He was instantly enraged. He wiped the wine off his face and reached out to Xia Wanyuan, wanting to pull her into his arms.

    However, Xia Wanyuan nimbly dodged his hand and kicked him, sending him flying onto the table in the middle of the room. The wine bottles on the table fell to the ground.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡± CEO Liang put down his wine ss and walked towards Xia Wanyuan with CEO Li.

    They had encountered strong resistance before, but it was useless. No matter how much a weak woman resisted, she was not as strong as two 1.8 meters tall men.

    At this moment, Supervisor Jin, who had brought Xia Wanyuan here, was calmly watching with folded arms. It was as if he had seen this scene countless times before.

    Xia Wanyuan moved her wrist and assumed a defensive posture. It seemed like CEO Liang¡¯s hand was about to reach Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    The door of the private room was suddenly kicked open. Because she had used too much strength, it made a loud sound that shocked everyone in the private room.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Although CEO Li was called CEO, he was actually just an investor who knew how to take advantage of situations. Hence, he had never seen Jun Shiling before. He asked angrily when he saw a young man with a strong aura suddenly standing outside the door.

    ¡°C-CEO Jun?!!¡± Although President Liang had never seen the real Jun Shiling, as an entrepreneur who was considered sessful in the country, he naturally knew what the head of the Jun family, who controlled almost all the economic connections in the country, looked like.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling only saw two tall men surrounding Xia Wanyuan in the luxurious and chaotic private room. The lust in their eyes was about to overflow. One didn¡¯t need to think to know what they were up to.

    An obvious anger gathered on Jun Shiling¡¯s usually calm face, and his deep eyes surged with waves.

    Seeing that CEO Liang¡¯s hand was almost on Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling strode over and pulled her behind him.

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice was filled with a bone-chilling coldness, which frightened the people in the room.

    No matter how stupid CEO Liang and CEO Li were, they knew that they had provoked someone they shouldn¡¯t have. When they saw Jun Shiling¡¯s angry face, they broke out in a cold sweat, drenching their clothes.

    ¡°Yes, yes, we¡¯ll get lost immediately.¡± The two of them scrambled out of the private room.

    Supervisor Jin, who was lying in the corner of the sofa and watching the show, did not expect that things would turn out like this. He did not know Jun Shiling, but seeing how CEO Liang was so afraid of this person, he naturally knew that Jun Shiling had a powerful background.

    When he met Jun Shiling¡¯s cold eyes, Supervisor Jin rolled down from the sofa and hurriedly left the private room.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling usually had a cold expression, Xia Wanyuan had never seen him like this. The extremely suppressed anger of Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel a little afraid.

    ¡°What do you¡¯ll be fine?!¡± Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s indifferent expression. Anger surged in his heart, and he could not help but growl at Xia Wanyuan.

    After shouting, Jun Shiling seemed to realize that he had lost hisposure. He restrained his anger, grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist, and walked out.

    At the door, Bo Xiao saw Jun Shiling pulling Xia Wanyuan out angrily. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not reply, only pulling Xia Wanyuan out the door without stopping.

 Chapter 75 - Coaxing

    <h4>Chapter 75: Coaxing</h4>

    ¡°You¡¯re hurting me.¡± Jun Shiling seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger. He did not notice that he had grabbed Xia Wanyuan too tightly and was pulled into the car. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist was still in Jun Shiling¡¯s grip, and she could not help but cry out in pain.

    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Jun Shiling only reacted after hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and hurriedly let go of her hand.

    Xia Wanyuan rolled up her sleeves, and her wrist was a little red.

    When Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, the anger in his eyes dissipated and was reced with guilt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t notice.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± It was just a little red, but it wasn¡¯t that serious. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling was so angry because he was worried about her, so she didn¡¯t me Jun Shiling.

    In the manor, Uncle Wang was leisurely watering the flowers when the door slowly opened and Jun Shiling¡¯s car drove into the manor.

    The car door opened and Jun Shiling got out first. Uncle Wang had watched Jun Shiling grow up, so he could naturally tell that Jun Shiling was extremely angry. He was about to go forward and ask if anything had happened.

    Jun Shiling ced his hand on the car door and helped Xia Wanyuan get out.

    ¡­

    Uncle Wang picked up the kettle that had been ced on the shelf.

    He was already an old man, so he wouldn¡¯t be a third wheel anymore. Let the young people settle their own problems.

    After entering the house, Xia Wanyuan asked Nanny Li to prepare some food for her. After meeting Xia Fu, she went to the office. She hadn¡¯t eaten lunch yet and was a little hungry.

    Upon hearing that Xia Wanyuan had gone to that lousy ce and had not even eaten lunch, the coldness on Jun Shiling¡¯s face grew. However, considering that Xia Wanyuan was eating, he did not say anything. He took hisputer and went to work under the small gazebo in the garden.

    Xia Wanyuan ate her fill and finally felt her stomach warm up.

    ¡°Nanny Li, your food is getting more and more delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Nanny Li.

    Nanny Li smiled kindly. ¡°It¡¯s good that Madam doesn¡¯t mind.¡± Ever since she arrived at the manor, everyone had addressed Xia Wanyuan as Madam. Having seen how everyone treated Xia Wanyuan these few days, Nanny Li naturally had an idea of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status, so she had changed her way of addressing her.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Jun Shiling?¡± When Xia Wanyuan returned, she could clearly sense that Jun Shiling had something to say to her. However, after she finished eating, Jun Shiling was nowhere to be seen.

    ¡°Young Master is in the gazebo in the garden.¡± Nanny Li recalled Jun Shiling¡¯s expression when he had just returned and felt worried for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam, Young Master seems to be very angry. coax him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan also knew that she had been a little reckless today. She had even alerted Jun Shiling toe personally. If news of this were to leak, it would probably affect the Jun Corporation greatly. It was only right for Jun Shiling to be angry.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the kitchen, cut some watermelon, and ced it on a te. Then, she carried it to the garden and looked at Jun Shiling sitting there from afar. For some reason, Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling looked a little aggrieved from his back.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she must have seen wrongly. Sheughed a little and slowly walked into the pavilion.

    ¡°Have some fruits before you continue working?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ced the watermelon by Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hands did not stop typing on the keyboard, and his cold side profile exuded coldness.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling ignored her, Xia Wanyuan did not speak further. She sat across the table, took a book from Jun Shiling, and slowly read it.

    A few minutester, Jun Shiling looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan acting as if nothing had happened. For the first time in his life, he felt suffocated.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say to me?¡± Jun Shiling switched off hisputer and stared at Xia Wanyuan with his deep eyes.

    ¡°I thought you were going to stop talking to me.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her book. Her phoenix eyes curved into crescents as a gentle breeze blew past, causing the hair on her forehead to blow.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted lightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Even if you didn¡¯te at the time, I still had a way to escape.¡± Xia Wanyuan was someone who had been on the battlefield before. Although her martial arts were not high, she still had ways to defend herself.

    ¡°There are two people this time, what if there are twenty next time?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not realize the danger, Jun Shiling¡¯s anger, which had slowly subsided, rose again.

    Xia Wanyuan choked on Jun Shiling¡¯s words. She felt that she had been too confident.

    ¡°I won¡¯t do it again next time.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was getting worse, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°I promise that I won¡¯t be so reckless if something like this happens again.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s going to be a next time?¡±

    ¡°No, no.¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly shook her head.

    ¡°Remember to tell me first if something like this happens in the future.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan really knew how dangerous the situation was, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression eased a little. He thought for a moment and added, ¡°If anything happens to you, Jun Yin will definitely be very sad.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was doing this for her own good. ¡°Then can you stop being angry?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied softly.

    ]¡±Have one.¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Jun Shiling with a smile on her face. The coldness on Jun Shiling dissipated after he received the watermelon.

    ¡°Can you tell me more about the topic you were talking about in Qing University? I didn¡¯t understand some of it.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling had returned to normal, Xia Wanyuan ate the watermelon in her hand in relief.

    ¡°Okay, I have some photos here. Come and take a seat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat beside Jun Shiling and looked at the data he had drawn up. Jun Shiling exined it to her patiently.

    Not far away, after Uncle Wang watered the flowers, he saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sitting together, looking like a match made in heaven.

    Jun Shiling, who had been filled with anger and exuding a cold aura a moment ago, was now exining things to Xia Wanyuan gently and patiently.

    Uncle Wang smiled and went to water a patch of flowers with the kettle.

    When Supervisor Jin returned to the office of Creating Star Entertainment, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He called CEO Liang and wanted to find out who that person was.?<i>How could he make CEO Liang so afraid? No matter what, CEO Liang was someone with a worth of over a hundred million dors.</i>

    ¡°Hello? Who is it?¡± It seemed to be extremely chaotic on the other end of the line.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Liang, it¡¯s Xiao Jin.¡±

    However, unlike the usual chatter andughter, when he heard Supervisor Jin¡¯s voice, CEO Liang wished he had never known this person.

    Thinking that the industry that he had worked so hard to build might be destroyed because of the person Manager Jin brought over, CEO Liang scolded Manager Jin fiercely on the phone.

    ¡°CEO Liang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Manager Jin was stunned.

    ¡°I¡¯m done for. You won¡¯t be able to recover either. Wait for it.¡± CEO Liang finally said something that didn¡¯t make sense, but for some reason, it made Manager Jin¡¯s heart turn cold.

    The inte buzz caused by Jun Shiling, Xuan Sheng, and Xia Wanyuan at Qing University yesterday had yet to subside when the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± quietly released the promotional concept film for the drama, triggering a new round of inte buzz.

 Chapter 76 - Good Comments From the Publicity Film

    <h4>Chapter 76: Good Comments From the Publicity Film</h4>

    The poprity of yesterday had not subsidedpletely, and there were still manyizens gathered under Qing University¡¯s Weibo, asking him to give an exnation.

    Jun Shiling and the others were still trending.

    Due to the fact that they had a huge fan base from the novel, every time the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± released news, it would be extremely popr. However, this time, everyone was busy watching the drama. The production team quietly posted a video of the official announcement on Weibo and was only discovered by theizens half an hourter.

    [ The front row will upy the pit first. I¡¯llment after I finish watching it. ]

    [ Eh, why did they suddenly post a promotional video today? ]

    [ It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here. I hope Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t too eye-catching. ]

    ¡°Hey, the production team of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ has released a promotional video. Let me take a look.¡± Su Mei ate the snacks and fruits that Xia Yu had brought from the manor and clicked on the video sent by the production team happily.

    ¡°F*ck!!! I knew my goddess was the most beautiful!!¡± Su Mei, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, suddenly jumped up and shook Xia Yu, who was listening to music with his headphones on. ¡°Brother, look at our goddess!¡±

    ¡°What goddess?¡± Xia Yu turned around.

    Xia Wanyuan! You¡¯ve already entered the live broadcast industry for the goddess, and you¡¯re still saying that you¡¯re not her fan?¡± Su Mei looked at Xia Yu in disdain.?<i>Tsk, what¡¯s there to be embarrassed about chasing a star?</i>

    Xia Yu took Su Mei¡¯s phone and clicked on it.

    Although the post-production schedule for ¡°The Long Bad¡± was a little tight, it was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort into it.

    At the beginning of the video, a brush dipped in ink flew over from the sky in a bold and elegant manner. It danced in the hazy mist and gradually, mountains and rivers appeared on the screen.

    Apanied by the melodious sound of a flute, a light boat carrying a man with ink-ck hair floated over from the depths of the mountain.

    As the light boat floated past, it createdyers of ripples. The birds, who were on theke, was shocked. They pped their wings and flew past. On the screen, ostentatious words appeared.

    The Long Bad

    ¡°The opening scene was really well done. Look at the back.¡± Su Mei couldn¡¯t help but want Xia Yu to directly go to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s part.

    On the towering Qin Chen Mountain, the vegetation was lush and the mountains were clear and beautiful. A butterfly-shaped kite flew out from the corner of the mountain. The tinklingughter of a young girl apanied by the youth¡¯s helpless and indulgent exhortations echoed in the mountain.

    The scene changed. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the young Lin Xiao and Tian looked at each other and smiled innocently.

    The world was in chaos and there were disputes in the pugilistic world. The Qingcheng Mountain of the past was in ruins. Lin Xiao walked the pugilistic world with his sword in hand, went to court, was humiliated, bullied, and misunderstood. However, he did not change the determined chivalry in his eyes.

    Tian Ying Er had also gone from being an innocent and naive little sister in the beginning to bing the gentle and lovely Madam Lin beside Lin Xiao in the end. Her initial feelings for Lin Xiao had not decreased, but there was less innocence and innocence in her eyes.

    Halfway through the video, the image of Xia Wanyuan finally appeared. When they first met, it was the young man with starry eyes and the little princess who was unaware of the world. Her veil fell, and she was drop-dead gorgeous, but the shyness that she had when she looked at Lin Xiao was the most moving.

    The dynasty had fallen, and the world had changed. In the extravagant hall, the dancer charismatically danced with her rainbow feather dress, making her look like a dream.

    In the end, the young knight brought his little sister back to the forest to live in seclusion. The little princess, who he had caught a glimpse of under the light, returned to the familiar pce once again. However, this time, she was returning as the beloved concubine of the new dynasty.

    Lin Xiao stood at the peak of the mountain with his little sister staring at him from behind. In the distant Imperial City, the royal concubine, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, was leaning on the railing and looking up at him with joy and sorrow in her eyes.

    ¡°How is it? Is Xia Wanyuan so beautiful that you can cry?¡± Su Mei took the phone and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dance again.

    ¡°Nonsense,¡± Xia Yu scoffed.

    ¡°Hey, Xia Yu, you haven¡¯t told me what your rtionship with Jun Shiling is.¡± Su Mei suddenly thought of something. ¡°You actually know Jun Shiling? He¡¯s a legendary big shot. Can you get an autograph for me?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± Xia Yu touched the tip of his nose unnaturally. ¡°My family knows him. That day, Jun Shiling happened to pass by and brought me back.¡±

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s impressive. After all, you sat in the same car as Boss Jun.¡± After all, he was still a student. Su Mei easily believed Xia Yu¡¯s words and never thought that Jun Shiling would pick him up on the way.

    Although Su Mei was a straight man, his reaction reflected the attitude of most book fans.

    In recent years, there had often been situations in China where novels were adapted into television dramas. However, most of the adaptations had failed. Either the casting was bad or the plot was watered down. In short, very few fans of the novel were satisfied.

    Fans of the novel ¡°The Long Bad¡± received the news and clicked on the video without much expectations. However, they were attracted by the beautiful opening scene.

    By the time the video ended, no one had recovered from the martial arts world in the video.

    [ Why do I feel that it¡¯s not bad? ]

    [ I hope the drama is as good as the publicity video. ]

    [ Are there very few filmpanies in the country who do such things? The post-production fee is ten million, and the eight million is used to make publicity films. Anyway, I¡¯ve been cheated too many times, I don¡¯t want to watch it. ]

    [ I originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a burden, but it seems¡­ ]

    [ Be bold! Xia Wanyuan looks like an outstanding student, while Ruan Yingyu looks like a burden. ]

    It was originally a joke between passersby, but now, it incurred the displeasure of Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans.

    In the entertainment industry, there were disputes whenever there were fans, let alone two female celebrities in the same drama. Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans were eager to fight with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans.

    In the end, Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans had already prepared aplete set ofbat information, but even after searching the entire inte, they still couldn¡¯t find a single fan of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    The only loyal fan of Xia Wanyuan, who was called ¡°the grumpy little lion¡±, had been reported.

    The farce in the entertainment industry had only added to the poprity of the production team. The publicity video posted by the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had indeed caused a hugemotion.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance in the publicity film had truly surpassed everyone¡¯s. Even the fans of the actors in the drama had to admit in their hearts that Xia Wanyuan could be said to be the highlight of this publicity film.

    Due to the fact that Xia Wanyuan was too shy and moving that day, her alluring dance was the best in television dramas and films. Also, her lonely look after bing the imperial concubine was full of stories.

    On the famous D-Site, many video hosts edited Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes separately, mixing them with the scenes in the popr male star¡¯s drama.

    In less than half a minute, Xia Wanyuan had used three shots to film all the male celebrities in the film industry. The video directors disyed all sorts of talents and edited Xia Wanyuan¡¯s three shots into tens of thousands of different videos.

    In just thirty seconds, Xia Wanyuan had swept through D-Site.

    Within two days, eight of the ten videos reviewed by the video reviewers at Station D were rted to Xia Wanyuan. It was said that on the night of the audit, the dreams of the Heavenly Spirit Princess were filled with shy smiles.

 Chapter 77 - Shortlisted for Chinese Arts

    <h4>Chapter 77: Shortlisted for Chinese Arts</h4>

    The inte was abuzz, but it did not rm Xia Wanyuan.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was engrossed in the homework Jun Shiling had given her.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan showed her interest in finance, Jun Shiling had told her some international theories. After that, he even gave her some ¡°homework¡±.

    Looking at the dense data on theputer, Xia Wanyuan was a little confused. After all, this was the first time she had systematicallye into contact with the modern financial system.

    But thinking that she was about to take over the Xia family¡¯s business, Xia Wanyuan calmed down and looked at it seriously.

    ¡°Young Master, this is Miss Xia¡¯s new publicity video.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant did not know that Xuan Sheng had lost interest in Xia Wanyuan, so he still showed Xuan Sheng everything about Xia Wanyuan.

    Although Xuan Sheng was unrestrained and had an unruly personality, he was indeed talented and serious when it came to work.

    Xuan Sheng was flipping through the proposal in his hand. Before he could stop his assistant, thetter had already ced the video in front of him.

    Xuan Sheng frowned and was about to turn it off when the video yed the first time the Heavenly Spirit Princess met Lin Xiao.

    The first time Xuan Sheng met Xia Wanyuan was in a video secretly taken from Ruan Yingyu. From the looks of it, that scene should be the one in the video.

    However, the video at that time was too dim. After professional lighting, the entire scene became exquisite.

    The street lights were heavy as the masked purple-clothed girl glided over. Her intelligent eyes seemed to contain a pool of spring water. When the light shone in her eyes, it was difficult to tell whether the moonlight was more beautiful or her eyes were more beautiful.

    The night breeze blew down the little princess¡¯s veil. She was as beautiful as jade. When he met the handsome knight¡¯s eyes, the little princess¡¯s shy expression actually made Xuan Sheng¡¯s heart itch.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Xuan Sheng touched the tip of his nose.?<i>¡®She¡¯s so pretty. What a pity.¡¯</i>

    He had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a snow lotus on the peak of ice and snow. Who would have thought that she was just a canary raised by Jun Shiling? Although this canary was embedded with gold and jade and was indeed beautiful, it was only a canary.

    Thinking of this, Xuan Sheng turned off the video. He was toozy to watch anymore.

    He reread the proposal in his hand. Although the head of the Xia family¡¯spany did not have much ability, the Xia family¡¯s foundation was deep and the head of the Xia family was considered to be average. Hence, he had always been able to bring him stable benefits.

    After he had invested the money, he had rarely cared about the Xia family¡¯spany. He did not expect that after staying abroad for a while, when he returned, the Xia family was already bankrupt. The money he had invested was also deeply involved and he could not withdraw it.

    ¡°Tell the investment department to do an evaluation of the Xia familypany and arrange a meeting with thepany¡¯s representative next week.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    The assistant stepped forward and took the video board. From Young Master Xuan¡¯s expression, he guessed that he had lost interest in Xia Wanyuan. He had thought that Young Master Xuan was serious this time, but his passion had onlysted half a month. However, the assistant only dared to think about these words in his heart.

    The higher-ups of the Jun Corporation held another online meeting.

    Looking at the familiarrge bookcase behind Jun Shiling, everyone knew that President Jun must have held an online meeting at home.

    The higher-ups were confused. They felt that conferences had been happening more frequently online recently.?<i>Could it be that the Big Boss had something important to attend to at home that prevented him from meeting in thepany?</i>

    However, everyone only dared to wonder in their hearts. Anyway, they did not have to face Jun Shiling directly in the online meeting, and they really did not want to see him.

    ¡°The target for this season is¡­¡±

    Everyone began to report their work. After an hour, most of the work had been arranged under Jun Shiling¡¯s guidance.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I have a few questions I don¡¯t understand. Can you exin them to me?¡±

    A silvery voice sounded from the camera. When everyone heard this familiar voice, their hearts burned with gossip.

    <i>I think it¡¯s thedy from the previous time?</i>

    <i>The big boss is hiding a mistress in his golden house!</i>

    <i>Wow, wow, wow. I¡¯ve never heard of Big Boss getting married. Could it be his girlfriend?</i>

    Jun Shiling was wearing headphones. Xia Wanyuan did not know that Jun Shiling was in a meeting, so she went straight to the study.

    ¡°What don¡¯t you understand?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand some of the data. If you¡¯re busy, teach meter.¡±

    ¡°Wait a moment,¡± Jun Shiling said to Xia Wanyuan, then looked at the camera in the meeting room. ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡±

    ¡°No, no. President Jun, we¡¯ve reported everything. Please continue with your work.¡± Everyone expressed their loyalty, afraid that they would be the brightest bulb in the crowd if they werete.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling closed the meeting room, then got up and walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let¡¯s go and talk. I¡¯m done.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, her father replied not long after.

    Father Xia was willing to give Xia Wanyuan the shares of the Xia familypany, but he wanted to continue working in thepany, so Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    In Father Xia¡¯s heart, Xia Wanyuan was only vain enough to buy the Xia family¡¯s shares with money. As for the details of thepany¡¯s governance, Xia Wanyuan had no idea. In the future, he would have to control the matters of the Xia family so that nothing would go wrong.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had agreed, she did not intend to hand thepany over to Father Xia. Father Xia was a cautious person in the past and liked to use trusted aides instead of focusing on selecting talents.

    Over the past few days, she had learned a lot from Jun Shiling. After Xia Wanyuan obtained the shares of the Xia family, she nned to make a major change in management of the Xia familypany. Only by injecting fresh blood and handing thepany over to someone with the ability and drive would thepany continue to develop.

    ¡°Hello, Elder Zhong.¡±

    There seemed to be a lot of calls today. She had just finished answering Father Xia¡¯s call when Elder Zhong called.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, congrattions. Your artwork has been selected. When will you have the time toe to school?¡±

    Elder Zhong restrained himself a little. In fact, those old men at the art institute looked at the painting as if it was a treasure. They were even more shocked when they heard Elder Zhong say that the painting was drawn by a young person in the twenties.

    They all asked Elder Zhong to invite the person who was painting to school. After all, they had lived for so long and had seen countless young talents. However, although the person who was painting was young, the ancient charm contained in the painting was rare.

    ¡°Of course.¡±

    Although modern science and technology developed very rapidly, China, a country with a long history, was filled with reverence and admiration for traditional culture. Xia Wanyuan very much admired their attitude towards historical culture.

    If her painting style from a thousand years ago could bring some revtions to modern people and allow her tomunicate with them, Xia Wanyuan was very willing.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, don¡¯t take thosements online to heart. I¡¯ve already rified things for you.¡±

    After settling the important matters, Elder Zhong thought of the criticism online directed at Xia Wanyuan and consoled her.

    Xia Wanyuan thanked Elder Zhong, but even after hanging up the phone, she still did not know what the inte had said about her.

    She opened the Weibo ount that she had not been on for a long time and saw 999+messages flooded in.

 Chapter 78 - Master Jun Is Drunk

    <h4>Chapter 78: Master Jun Is Drunk</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had thought that thesements woulde and scold her as usual, but she didn¡¯t expect that after clicking on a few, there would be people who praised her for her good acting as the Heavenly Spirit Princess. There were also people who praised her for her good acting. However, in the huge army of convicts, there were very few positivements.

    However, it was like the mes of the stars that adorned the vast night sky. Once the east wind blew, it would be like a fire that covered the entire world.

    Xia Wanyuan was very sorry that she had troubled Elder Zhong and the Qing University.

    Flipping through the Weiboments, Xia Wanyuan saw ament with very low reposts. From the tone of the post, it looked like it had been posted by Elder Zhong. Xia Wanyuan clicked on the profile picture of the man in the lonely boat.

    As expected, although he did not have many fans, his Weibo verified ount said, ¡°Qing University¡¯s Professor, the country¡¯s top economist, Zhong Wei.¡±

    When she was on the phone just now, Elder Zhong had repeatedly instructed Xia Wanyuan to repost his rification Weibo post. Hence, Xia Wanyuan reposted Elder Zhong¡¯s post on her Weibo profile.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo, which was already boiling with excitement, once again blew up.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had always posted on Weibo either to unt her wealth or to take all sorts of selfies, everyone was already prepared to send ¡°ugly¡±, ¡°tasteless¡±, and ¡°don¡¯t unt it, you do not look good¡±.

    However, when they took a closer look, they saw that Xia Wanyuan had reposted a text message on Weibo @ Lone Boat Manchurian: ¡®Little friend Xia Wanyuan was personally invited to attend the lecture at Qing University by me. I didn¡¯t know about the verification ticket, so I stopped little friend Xia outside. The management of Qing University is very standard. Thank you for everyone¡¯s supervision.¡¯

    Thement also posted a photo of the guest list for the lecture.

    [ I¡¯m dying ofughter. You even invited her to Qing University yourself. Who do you think you are? Why are you getting in through the back door so openly now? ]

    [ She said that she could enter without a ticket just because he invited her personally. Isn¡¯t this a huge management loophole? ]

    [ What the hell is this Lone Boatman bamboo hat? I¡¯ll photoshop a hundred of these guest names for you guys in minutes, okay? ]

    [ From above, I advise you to click on the profile picture of that Lonely Boat Brawler and take a look at his certification before saying those words. ]

    Some rationalizens clicked on the post that Xia Wanyuan had reposted and came out on their knees. When they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯sments, their hearts turned cold. They then silently reminded everyone.

    After being reminded by this person, everyone clicked on the name ¡°The Lone Boat Brawler¡± and returned on their knees.

    [ Erm, cough, thements at the beginning have been deleted. I can¡¯t PP this kind of name list. Goodbye! ]

    [ This backdoor is done very openly!!! Awesome! ]

    [ I¡¯ve thought of countless ways that Xia Wanyuan had public rtions, but I never expected that it would be done online by the chief economist with GWY¡¯s special allowance. ]

    After seeing Zhong Wei¡¯s Weibo verification, thosements that were filled with doubts and ridicule were quietly deleted.

    Those who arrivedte only saw that the screen was filled with bad*ss and had no idea what was going on.

    With a face full of confusion, he clicked into Zhong Weibo¡¯s Weibo ount with the nosy masses. Then, he followed the nosy masses out of Elder Zhong¡¯s Weibo and finally left an NB under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo ount with a look of admiration.

    Although there were still some doubtful voices on Weibo, most people gave up on the idea after a heavyweight like Elder Zhong came out to rify things.

    Seeing how public opinion had changed so much in such a short period of time, Xia Wanyuan felt emotional. It seemed that no matter how much time passed, strength was still very important.

    If Xia Wanyuan had posted the rification herself today, probably no one would be willing to believe her no matter what she said. However, if it was Elder Zhong, who was rather influential in the domestic financial world, everyone would be very convinced.

    Having been in the modern world for so long, Xia Wanyuan had always been very indifferent. However, at this moment, she did indeed have some thoughts of fighting for power.

    It was already dark and Xiao Bao had already finished school, but Jun Shiling had not returned for a long time. Xiao Baoined that he was hungry, so Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao ate first.

    There was a small sports meet in kindergarten today. The little dumpling was extremely active and had been dancing and fooling around for the entire day. During the meal, he almost buried his chubby little face in his bowl.

    After dinner, she got the nanny to bathe Xiao Bao, who fell asleep the moment he touched the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan used her hand to touch Xiao Bao¡¯s fair and tender little face. The baby¡¯s chubby cheeks twitched.

    Xia Wanyuan found it fun and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face twice more. In his sleep, Xiao Bao felt as if he was being touched by Doraemon, so he pouted and pushed Doraemon away.

    There was a suddenmotion downstairs. Xia Wanyuan let go of Xiao Bao¡¯s face and walked downstairs.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan go downstairs, Uncle Wang waved his hand and dismissed the crowd.

    ¡°Madam.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is Jun Shiling back?¡± Xia Wanyuan seemed to have heard the sound of a car outside.

    ¡°Young Master is back. It¡¯s just that Young Master drank some wine today. The chauffeur just reported that Young Master seemed to have fallen asleep in the car. The chauffeur called twice but did not wake him up.¡±

    Uncle Wang looked troubled. ¡°The others didn¡¯t dare to wake Young Master up casually, but it¡¯s easy to catch a cold sleeping in the car, so I wanted to ask Madam to take a look.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan walked out the door. Outside the limousine, the chauffeur was waiting at the door. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, he hurriedly opened the door for her as if he had seen his savior.

    Jun Shiling sat on the sofa in the car. Even though he had fallen asleep, he still looked very tidy. When they were close, Xia Wanyuan could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Jun Shiling. It was not unpleasant, but it had a profound and mellow fragrance.

    The dim yellow light in the car cast a warm glow on Jun Shiling¡¯s perfect facial features. With his eyes closed, Jun Shiling restrained his aura.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡± Xia Wanyuan called out tentatively.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling did not react, she sat beside him and shook his arm. ¡°Jun Shiling, go back and sleep. Are you okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to call out again when Jun Shiling suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was only a step away from Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan could clearly see the redness in Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes.

    ¡°Why did you drink so much?¡± Xia Wanyuan was somewhat surprised.

    Jun Shiling only stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. After a while, as if he had finally reacted, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

    ¡°I drank a little too much because of something.¡± Because he had drunk alcohol, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was especially low and hoarse.

    Seemingly a little drunk, Jun Shiling tugged at his tie. The cool wind outside the car window blew in, clearing his thoughts.

    Jun Shiling turned around and was about to let Xia Wanyuan in when he saw here out in a silk nightgown. He frowned.

    He removed his warm suit jacket and covered her with it before she could react.

 Chapter 79 - Hug

    <h4>Chapter 79: Hug</h4>

    Caught off guard by Jun Shiling¡¯s coat, Xia Wanyuan felt as if she was surrounded by Jun Shiling¡¯s scent.

    The faint fragrance of the wine mixed with the sandalwood perfume that Jun Shiling often used enveloped Xia Wanyuan in an aggressive manner. The jacket even had some of Jun Shiling¡¯s warmth left.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been inside for some time and had note out, the chauffeur tactfully closed the door, leaving space for the two in the car.

    ¡°Is there something on your mind?¡±

    Even though in everyone¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling had the entire Jun Corporation, he was decisive and had boundless glory.

    However, in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had once followed orders and controlled the entire Xia Dynasty.

    She naturally understood that the higher one stood, the more they would suffer.

    When she was young, she loved to fly kites on the ins in the suburbs of Beijing. The mud melted into the warm wind and she was very happy. In the years that followed, she never saw the blue sky and white clouds in the suburbs of Beijing when she was seven years old.

    In his drunken state, after Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan put on his coat, he seemed to have fallen asleep again. He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

    Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyshes twitched, but he did not open his eyes.

    ¡°I won¡¯t ask if you don¡¯t want to tell me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she might have intruded Jun Shiling¡¯s privacy.

    ¡°Today is my parents¡¯ death anniversary,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said with his eyes closed. His voice was a little hoarse. ¡°When I was three years old, they passed away due to a car ident.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know,¡± Xia Wanyuan said carefully.

    The current Jun Shiling was no longer as cold and aloof as before. It was as if this special day had evoked the gentleness that he had hidden in his heart.

    It made one think that the omnipotent and indomitable Jun Shiling was actually like Xiao Bao in the beginning. He knew how to act coquettishly and act cute. Whenever he had something he did not understand, he woulde back to look for his parents. He was just a child who needed his parents¡¯ love and care.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go in first. It¡¯s cold outside. I¡¯ll go inter.¡± Jun Shiling opened his eyes, his deep eyes filled with fatigue.

    Xia Wanyuan nced worriedly at Jun Shiling¡¯s condition before getting out of the car with Jun Shiling¡¯s coat over her shoulders.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, the car returned to silence. The darkness outside the window surged and roared, as if it wanted to drill in through the car window andpletely swallow Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was thinking about many things. His mind was a little muddled after drinking, and he felt even more tired.

    However, the car door was suddenly opened and Xia Wanyuan returned. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was holding a bowl of vegetable egg soup.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the car door, blocking out the darkness.

    ¡°The servants in the kitchen are already resting. I made a simple soup. Drink it. You probably didn¡¯t eat much tonight.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she handed the egg soup to Jun Shiling.

    In the modern world, there was Nanny Li in the vi and aplete set of chefs in the manor. There was no need for Xia Wanyuan to personally cook.

    However, although Xia Wanyuan rarely cooked, her cooking skills were exquisite. In her previous life, she had brought along her younger siblings and traveled through chaotic times alone. Even a simple stir-fry would be different.

    It was a simple bowl of soup, and the vegetables were picked up after boiling once. As a result, the color of the soup was extremely clear. The vegetables were tender and green, and the egg flowers were evenly distributed in the soup. It was as if countless spring flowers had bloomed between the flourishing nts, making it extremely beautiful.

    Jun Shiling took the bowl and drank the soup inrge mouthfuls. The hot soup flowed down his esophagus, sending warmth to every part of his body and converging back to his heart.

    After drinking a bowl of soup, Jun Shiling felt much more rxed.

    Xia Wanyuan was still wearing Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes. It was obvious that she had gone straight into the house to cook soup, so she came to look for him without stopping.

    Xia Wanyuan was not short, but with Jun Shiling¡¯s wide coat, she looked exquisite. Her fair face appeared even more gentle under the warm yellow light.

    She was looking down at her book, her long eyshes casting shadows on her face.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan,¡± Jun Shiling called out in a deep voice, his deep eyes staring intently at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was reading a book when Jun Shiling suddenly spoke. She looked up in confusion, and his almond-shaped eyes were as clear as the mountains after the rain.

    Caught off guard, Jun Shiling¡¯s aura surged towards her. With his left hand holding her head and his right hand on her shoulder, he hugged herpletely.

    ¡°You?!¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were so sudden that Xia Wanyuan did not react in time. She did not even hold the book in her hand as it rolled down Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and onto the ground.

    She did not know why Jun Shiling had suddenly acted like this, but based on her understanding of Jun Shiling¡¯s character, Xia Wanyuan was not worried that he would do anything to her. It was just that Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was too strong around her, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

    ¡°Just for a while.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s maic and hoarse voice sounded by her ear. Xia Wanyuan could feel the vibration in Jun Shiling¡¯s chest when he spoke.

    What surrounded Xia Wanyuan in the suit was Jun Shiling¡¯s burning body temperature. Unconsciously, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears flushed red.

    Jun Shiling, who was holding Xia Wanyuan in his arms, naturally saw her bright red earlobe.

 Chapter 80 - Hug

    <h4>Chapter 80: Hug</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body stiffened as she stayed in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She didn¡¯t know where to put her hands.

    ¡°Xiao Bao is asleep. He seems to have gained some weight.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not say anything tofort Jun Shiling directly, but inadvertently mentioned the sleeping Xiao Bao.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders tightened.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling responded softly, and Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t say anything more.

    But Jun Shiling already understood what Xia Wanyuan meant.?<i>The dead were already gone, so there was no need to miss them too much.</i>

    The faint fragrance of Xia Wanyuan wafted over. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes surged when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright red earlobe.

    ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Being hugged like this, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body stiffened unnaturally as she stretched slightly.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s struggles, Jun Shiling let go of her. His hair brushed across his palm, and a huge sense of loss surged from his heart.

    ¡°If you¡¯re in a bad mood, stay here for a while more.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan was unhappy, she did not like to go to bright and spacious ces either. Instead, she stayed in a space with no one else around and allowed her thoughts to wander.

    ¡°Stay with me.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Okay.¡± For some reason, Jun Shiling, who had just asked Xia Wanyuan to apany him, actually looked a little lonely. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart softened.

    Although he said that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to apany him, Jun Shiling did not speak further. Xia Wanyuan also stayed quiet and did not disturb him.

    Time passed second by second. It was quiet in the car, but it was different from the silence just now. At this moment, Jun Shiling only felt relieved and not as lonely as before.

    Jun Shiling closed his eyes to rest for a while. After drinking a bowl of hot soup and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s invisiblefort, he already felt much more rxed.

    He opened his eyes and was about to call Xia Wanyuan to go back when he realized that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

    Xia Wanyuan was sound asleep. In her sleep, she felt as if she was on a ship that was cruising very smoothly. However, she kept feeling as if there was a heat source leaning on her. Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch it, but the ship suddenly stopped.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes slowly and saw the familiar line of his jaw.

    ¡°Why am I-¡± Xia Wanyuan did not finish her sentence.?<i>¡®Why am I in your arms?¡¯</i>

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t carried you before.¡±

    Previously, Xia Wanyuan had sprained her ankle and it was inconvenient for her to move. Most of the time, Jun Shiling carried her up and down.

    An embarrassed look shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Since they were about to go upstairs, Jun Shiling did not let go and carried Xia Wanyuan back to the bedroom.

    The little dumpling was sound asleep. Even though he was mischievous when he was awake, he was incredibly obedient once he fell asleep. He obediently ced his hands by his sides and slept upright, as though he had inherited Jun Shiling¡¯s self-discipline.

    After cing Xia Wanyuan on the bed, Jun Shiling pulled the nket over her and covered her with it. He nced at Xiao Bao, who was snoring, and Xia Wanyuan, who was blinking her eyshes. The gloominess on Jun Shiling seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

    ¡°Goodnight,¡± Jun Shiling said softly.

    ¡°Okay. Good night.¡±

    The room was peaceful.

    The Weibo posts for the past two days seemed to be getting more and more lively by the day.

    Before the trending topic that the chief economist had rified for Xia Wanyuan online, a trending topic called ¡°One Man to Protect the City¡± gradually climbed onto the trending topic and showed great momentum.

    The reason for this trending topic was a video uploaded by a gamer on the topic of Mobile Legends.

    He was bored that day, so he clicked into the rmended streamer on the front page of the live-stream. He saw that the streamer, Xiaoyu, had given the advancement round to his nephew for fun.

    Seeing that his teammates on Xiaoyu¡¯s side had all been wiped out, he also felt that there was nothing to see. Who would have thought that the broadcaster would have a brilliant n and fight five people at his best? He defended his base and even turned the tables on him. He destroyed the opponent¡¯s guard tower and finally took over the base.

    At that time, he was extremely excited from watching it at home. After the live-stream ended, he was still not satisfied. He specially found a live-stream rey and recorded this video.

    His original intention was to post it online and share this exciting scene with everyone. Who would have thought that a marketing ount mixed in with the topic of Mobile Legends would see it?

    What was a marketing ount? It allowed one to go wherever there was traffic. Seeing that the video had potential for traffic, it was directly transferred to the homepage of his Weibo ount, attracting many people.

    Other marketing ounts also heard the news and immediately, this video began to spread across the inte.

    As a result, those who knew how to y games were impressed by the meticulous handling and precise movements of this Glory match.

    Those who did not know how to y games were attacked and killed by the five of them like in a novel. The plot with the hope of the entire vige to seize victory made their blood boil.

    [ One day, the person I love will fight five people alone. He will step on the corpses of the enemy and wear colorful auspicious clouds. He will blow up the crystal on the other side and marry me. ]

    [ Those in front, wake up. The person you love will only fight one against five. He will step on the corpses of your teammates, shatter your crystal, and smash your dog head. ]

    [ The truth is out. ]

    [ Wait for a little brother¡¯s Weibo ount in the front row and ask for a live-stream room too. He¡¯s so handsome! Boohoo, I love him. ]

    [ I¡¯m asking Little Brother how old is he? Is he getting married? Do you mind Rubbish? ]

    [ Let me ask too. Does this little brother have a girlfriend already? Does he mind having another boyfriend? ]

    [ The person in front, please don¡¯t take advantage of the situation¡­ ]

    Through the repost of marketing ounts and the spontaneous spread of arge number ofizens, this anchor named Xiaoyu instantly became popr on the Inte.

    There was even a group of fans who spontaneously formed a small fish fan club and named themselves dried fish.

    It wasn¡¯t easy for him to finish an exam. It was rare for Xia Yu to get more sleep in the morning. Just as he was dreaming about wearing golden armor to save the world, his phone kept vibrating.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s tone was filled with impatience.

    ¡°Okay, got it.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Yupletely forgot about the caller ID. He covered his cup and prepared to continue sleeping.

    Three minutester, ¡°Ah!!!!!!! That d*mn biological clock!!!!¡±

    Ever since they began to supervise Xia Yu¡¯s studies in the dormitory, everyone¡¯s waking hours had be rather regr. Moreover, they rarely slept. They had long developed a biological clock that followed a set pattern. Now, they couldn¡¯t sleep even if they wanted to.

    Xia Yu lifted the nket in frustration and took out his phone.

    The person who had called just now was a staff member of the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform. He told Xia Yu that he was popr on the Inte at the moment and asked him to quickly open Weibo and promote with thepany.

    Following thepany¡¯s guidance, Xia Yu quicklypleted the certification of ¡®Cat Tooth Host¡¯, ¡®Little Fish¡¯. Cat Tooth Live reposted his personal ount and introduced it to everyone.

    Fans swarmed into Xia Yu¡¯s Weibo to confess.

    Some fans noticed that Xia Yu was only paying attention to one person and felt emotional.?<i>¡®What a grateful broadcaster. The first thing he did when he opened Weibo was to follow hispany.¡¯</i>

    However, when everyone, who was touched and moved, clicked on the ount that Xia Yu was only interested in,

    ??????????

    Their tiny heads were filled with question marks.

 Chapter 81 - The Nations Younger Brother Shows His Face and Stunning Everyone

    <h4>Chapter 81: The Nation¡¯s Younger Brother Shows His Face and Stunning Everyone</h4>

    [ Am I blind? ]

    [ If you¡¯re blind, then I should be too. ]

    [ Bring me along if you¡¯re blind. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan? ]

    That¡¯s right. After Xia Yu verified his Weibo ount, he even removed the default attention on Weibo from his assistant and added Xia Wanyuan to his profile.

    Other than that, he did not follow anyone else. Even the officials of Cat¡¯s Tooth did not receive any following from Xia Yu.

    [ Tsk, forget it. Just take it that I¡¯m blind. I didn¡¯t expect the broadcaster to like someone like Xia Wanyuan. Goodbye. ]

    [ The anchor¡¯s gaming skills are pretty good, but there¡¯s something wrong with his eyes. He needs treatment. ]

    Xia Wanyuan had a bad reputation online, so they were furious when they saw that Xia Yu had followed Xia Wanyuan alone.

    However, some of Xia Yu¡¯s die-hard fans defended him.

    [ The person in front, our Xiaoyu depends on his gaming skills to make a living. Thank you. Why does the person he like matter?]

    [ Can fans stay away from their idols¡¯ lives? Xiaoyu didn¡¯t steal or steal. So what if he has a good impression of a female celebrity? ]

    However, many of Xia Yu¡¯s fans did not understand why he liked Xia Wanyuan. After all, in the eyes of theizens, Xia Wanyuan had a bad character, acted like a big shot, and had terrible acting skills.

    Because of Xia Yu¡¯s image, the tformpany that was broadcasting Cat¡¯s Tooth called to persuade Xia Yu to unfollow Xia Wanyuan and follow positive bloggers.

    In the end, Xia Yu beat around the bush and said, ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t understand. Isn¡¯t what I¡¯m doing very controversial? If there¡¯s controversy, won¡¯t it be popr? What is poprity to the tform? It¡¯s money! So I can¡¯t unfollow Xia Wanyuan and I¡¯ll only focus on her in the future, understand?¡±

    After one round, the staff member was sessfully convinced by Xia Yu.?<i>¡®That makes sense. Let¡¯s not unfollow!¡¯</i>

    Although some people didn¡¯t like Xia Yu following Xia Wanyuan, many people still came for Xia Yu¡¯s exquisite gaming skills after the video bombardment that day.

    ]By the time Xia Yu resumed his broadcast at night, the number of viewers in the broadcast room had already surpassed Ruan Nian¡¯s. Xia Yu¡¯s broadcast room was also at the top of the trending list.

    Those who watched the live broadcast mostly liked to watch the fun. Immediately, many people who were not afraid of trouble ran to Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream to cause trouble.

    [ Tsk, the previous time, this broadcaster said that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were terrible, right? ]

    [ Her poprity can¡¯tpare to Xiaoyu. ]

    [ We¡¯re both streamers, but the Glory scene is one against five. You were five against one in the diamond scene and were wiped out by the other party. Why is the difference so huge? ]

    [ Low-end streamer, let¡¯s go and watch Xiaoyu. ]

    In fact, Ruan Nian was considered one of the more popr streamers. There were not many messages on the screen, and they were all buried in the confessions of the fans. As long as Ruan Nian pretended not to see them, no one would see them in a few minutes.

    However, Ruan Nian had a domineering personality. Later on, he became a broadcaster. Although his skills were not good, he could still be considered a broadcaster under Ruan Yingyu¡¯s name.

    Now, he was suppressed by a broadcaster who had just started live streaming not long ago. Furthermore, the other party¡¯s skills were better than his. Ruan Nian was already feeling ufortable, so when he saw the criticism in thements, he exploded.

    Pfft, he¡¯s just a piece of trash who doesn¡¯t even dare to show his face. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s a fatso. To think that you call her husband. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll crush you to death?¡±

    Ruan Nian usually liked to joke about color in order to have a live broadcast effect. Now, he was even more outspoken.

    ¡°Besides, if he likes someone like Xia Wanyuan, who has neither acting skills nor character, what kind of person can he be?¡±

    Although some people in the live-stream did not like Xia Wanyuan, that did not mean that they could ept Ruan Nian¡¯s gossipy behavior. Many people immediately left the live-stream.

    Seeing that the poprity of the live-stream had subsided, Ruan Nian was both angry and anxious. Suddenly, he saw the PK button at the bottom right corner of the live-stream and came up with a n.

    Xia Yu had once again massacred the Glory Bureau. On the settlement page, he had surpassed all his peers by 100%, causing the audience to spam 666.

    Just as he was about to y it again, a system notification suddenly appeared in the live-stream.

    ¡°Host Ruan Nian has initiated a PK with you. Please choose to ept or reject him.¡±

    [ Is Ruan Nian crazy? Isn¡¯t he bullying a new broadcaster? ]

    [ It¡¯s fine if your gaming skills are bad, but do you have to rely on PK to make your presence known? ]

    [ Does Ruan Nian have any morals left? ]

    It was no wonder that the audience was so excited. The PK mode on the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform was apetition of the amount of money both parties had.

    Ruan Nian had started his live broadcast early. There were several generous big shots on the fan list, and the number of fans with VIP tags was more than five times that of Xia Yu. There was no doubt about such a PK.

    Everyone advised Ruan Nian not to ept the PK. If he epted, he would definitely lose. Furthermore, he would lose the poprity that he had gained after much difficulty. There was no benefit at all.

    However, when Xia Yu saw Ruan Nian¡¯s name, hispetitive spirit rose.?<i>That grandson of his. I was just worried about not being able to find a chance to teach him a lesson when he came knocking on my door.</i>

    During PK, all cameras were turned on, but Xia Yu did not want to show his face, so he pasted a cartoon rabbit on the camera.

    Hence, everyone could only see the slender figure of a youth.

    On the other end of the line, Ruan Nian sneered in his heart when he saw Xia Yu¡¯s rabbit face.

    In the broadcast industry, everyone wanted to be popr. As long as one had good facial features, they would dare to brag that they were the Wu Yan Zu of eSports no matter what.

    <i>¡®I wonder how ugly Xiaoyu will be if he doesn¡¯t even dare to turn on the beauty camera.¡¯</i>

    There was no surprise in the PK. Ruan Nian¡¯s fans threw gold and hid treasure chests one after another. Seeing that it was about to end, the difference between the two sides was very obvious.

    Xia Yu secretly opened his alternate ount and waited for thest minute to counterattack and make Ruan Nian suffer.

    As for why Xia Yu had so much money in his card, it was because he had a brother-inw who gave him allowance.

    The PK was about to enter its final three minutes. Xia Yu¡¯s fans were extremely anxious. Their ability was limited, and most of the viewers in the live-stream were passersby who had been searched on Weibo. Naturally, they wouldn¡¯t spend so much money on Xia Yu.

    Ruan Nian suddenly said in surprise, ¡°Hey, Xiaoyu, I can see what you look like now. So you¡¯re that good-looking

    Shocked, Xia Yu looked at his camera. There was still a cartoon rabbit on it.

    However, Ruan Nian seemed to have really seen Xia Yu¡¯s handsome looks. He was envious and amazed, causing Xia Yu to be puzzled. After all, he had some confidence in his handsome face.?<i>Could it be that the cartoon rabbit had really fallen?</i>

    [ Brother, are yougging? Why don¡¯t you try the cartoon button again? ]

    Some fans in the live-stream believed what Ruan Nian said and started to give Xia Yu ideas.

    Seeing thements on the screen, Xia Yu frowned and pressed the cartoon button for the live-stream a few times.

    Meanwhile, both sides of the live-stream were in a daze.

 Chapter 82 - The Dessert Shop Closed

    <h4>Chapter 82: The Dessert Shop Closed</h4>

    The moment the cartoon rabbit disappeared, an exquisite young man¡¯s face appeared in the live-stream. His ck hair hung limply on his forehead, making him look obedient.

    However, the pair of eyes that were as clear as morning dew raised slightly, making them look extremely lively.

    His fair face and exquisite facial features were nothing like that of a fatso.

    As he was checking to see if there was anything wrong with the camera, Xia Yu was extremely close to it. His wless face was full of youthful vigor and his long eyshes fluttered the hearts of the viewers in the live-stream.

    [?????????????]

    [!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

    [ Oh my god, is this younger brother? ]

    [ Why doesn¡¯t he show his face when she¡¯s so good-looking! ]

    Reality proved that this was a world where face mattered most. The PK leaderboard, which had a huge difference just a moment ago, was now filled with excited passersby. The difference actually shrank to a very small extent. In Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream, all sorts of presents and special effects were received continuously.

    Such a hot topic had attracted a portion of the passers-by on the main page. Everyone clicked on it and took a look at the host¡¯s camera.

    Then, they went out of thements section and looked at the title of the live-stream.

    [ Is this a gaming live broadcast? ]

    [ Is there something wrong with the category? Are you sure it¡¯s not Star Show? ]

    Xia Yu took a look and didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong with the camera. When he pulled up the live-stream again, he could already see his face on the camera.

    When he looked at thements again, he knew that he had already exposed himself, so he decided to stop hiding.

    Ruan Nian had just said that Xia Yu was handsome, but when he saw Xia Yu¡¯s appearance, he revealed his true emotions.

    Looking at that exquisite face, which could bepared even in the entertainment industry, Ruan Nian was so angry that he almost dropped the mouse.

    The key was that he had designed it himself to make others reveal their true colors. The notification for the end of the PK rang. Ruan Nian opened it and his eyes widened.

    He had actually lost!

    Furthermore, Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream had 100 more people than him. It was as if he wanted to use this mere 100 people to humiliate him.

    Looking at the ridiculingments from the fans in the live-stream, Ruan Nian was furious and went offline dejectedly.

    Meanwhile, Xia Yu was in amotion.

    Xia Yu was not excited by the sudden increase in poprity of his fans. He stopped hiding his face and calmly started the game.

    [ Little brother is so good-looking. I¡¯m going to die from his eyshes. ]

    [ Brother is so good-looking, but he wants to save it for himself and doesn¡¯t want us to see it. He¡¯s too much! ]

    [ Is 85th Star that powerful? Did he shoot it up himself? ]

    Ignoring thements, Xia Yu focused on ying the game.

    Ten minutester, Xia Yu stood at the entrance of the base opposite and weed the news of ¡®The Five Generations Of The Best¡¯.

    It was only then that the bright-eyed youth broke into a smile. It was as if he had just returned from the scorching summer sun. The first sip of soda that he drank had an ice-cold vor, refreshing his heart.

    With the Five Kills video and this farce-like PK, Xia Yu¡¯s poprity soared. His nickname as the Nation¡¯s Brother spread with that youthful face of his first love.

    ¡°Special Assistant Lin, why did President Jun ask about the endorsement deal for the subsidiarypany today?¡±

    The executives who had just finished their routine meeting gathered around Lin Jing.

    After all, Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts were too unpredictable, so they did not dare to ask too much. However, Lin Jing had always done things ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s wishes, so everyone could only ce their hopes on Lin Jing.

    ¡°He probably thinks that it¡¯s time to change thepany¡¯s spokesperson.¡± Lin Jing tidied the documents in his hand. ¡°After all, the audience will get tired of seeing old faces all the time, right?¡±

    ¡°Then, which spokesperson should we use?¡± the supervisor asked carefully.

    ¡°I can¡¯t say for sure. Manager Wang, this is your job.¡± Lin Jing had his usual trademark smile.

    Seeing the conflicted looks on his colleagues¡¯ faces, Lin Jing still clicked on a few words in the end. ¡°It¡¯s best if it¡¯s the kind that can make people¡¯s eyes and ears fresh. Then, in the past, there were fewer endorsements and the image did not solidify. However, the reputation cannot be too low. At the very least, you have to be someone whom everyone on the Inte can name. After all, endorsements still require some fame.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. You¡¯re right. Alright, alright, alright,¡± Lin Jing said as the supervisor noted it down. After Lin Jing finished speaking and left, the supervisor reviewed what Lin Jing had said.

    <i>¡®Assistant Lin, are you sure you¡¯re not trying to frame me?¡¯</i>

    Where was he going to find a neer and someone with fame? But at least he had a direction. The supervisor quickly sent this nonsense to his subordinates and got them to find a new spokesperson.

    There was a bug in WeChat. When a WeChat notification was logged into another phone, the messages sent to that phone would not be synchronized with the original phone.

    This also meant that Xia Wanyuan still did not know that Qin Wu had sent her a message.

    He sent two messages consecutively and waited for a few days, but there was no reply.

    Qin Wu thought about it. When he was on set, he did not seem to have offended Xia Wanyuan. After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat, he did not rush up immediately to get close to her.

    Coincidentally, the production team had set a date for the press conference. Qin Wu finally mustered his courage and called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light voice sounded. It immediately reminded Qin Wu of the Heavenly Spirit Princess¡¯s shy and timid look that night, and his heart burned with passion.

    ¡°Hello, is that Wanyuan? Did you know that the production team has set a date for the press conference? It¡¯s at the beginning of next month. Remember not to bete.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the WeChat message I sent youst time because you were too busy?¡± After saying everything, Qin Wu could not help but ask.

    ¡°WeChat? I didn¡¯t receive it.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little obsessivepulsive. She always clicked on the little red dot on WeChat, so she clearly remembered not receiving Qin Wu¡¯s WeChat message.

    ¡°Oh, oh, I thought you didn¡¯t want to talk to me.¡± Qin Wu was relieved. ¡°I have some information for you, I¡¯ll sent it to you on WeChatter.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Qin Wu used WeChat to send Xia Wanyuan some information needed for the press conference. He had meticulously coted all of them.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and felt that it was quite useful. She thanked Qin Wu on WeChat.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. Just wait and see. Ask me again if you don¡¯t understand. I heard that there¡¯s a new restaurant in Beijing that¡¯s said to be very delicious. There¡¯s a dessert shop on the ancient street that¡¯s also very good. I wonder if you have time to go together?¡±

    Qin Wu thought about it for a long time and decided to be direct. He deleted and edited it before finally pressing the send button.

    In the office of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling had just finished his work when he recalled that Xia Wanyuan only had one more Tribtion Diamond left. He logged into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat ount.

    Who would have thought that as soon as he logged on, he received a message from Qin Wu?

    Jun Shiling clicked on the message and frowned.?<i>¡®Can¡¯t the director talk about the production team? Do we need actors tomunicate in private? And even eat?¡¯</i>

    Jun Shiling had just closed the chat window when Xia Wanyuan called.

    After knowing that it was Jun Shiling who had logged on, Xia Wanyuan was relieved.

    ¡°Are you going to work soon? Can you bring me a strawberry cake when youe backter?¡±

    It had been a long time since she had eaten sweet food, and Xia Wanyuan missed it a little.

    ¡°No, the dessert shop is closed.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice came from the phone.

    Xia Wanyuan:<i>?????? There were so many dessert shops in Beijing. Why did they close down?</i>

 Chapter 83 - Jun Shiling Smiled

    <h4>Chapter 83: Jun Shiling Smiled</h4>

    Although Jun Shiling said he wouldn¡¯t bring it, he was carrying a strawberry cake when he returned to the manor.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuany on the sofa and ate her sweet cake. She was in a good mood.

    ¡°When are you going to take over the Xia family¡¯s shares?¡± Jun Shiling hade out of the study at some point and was walking towards Xia Wanyuan with a stack of documents.

    ¡°It¡¯s scheduled for next Tuesday. Why?¡±

    ¡°The Xia family¡¯spany mainly caused a series of follow-up reactions due to the rupture of their funds. There¡¯s not much of a problem with the industry system. I¡¯ve gotten someone to do an evaluation. I¡¯ll lend you 60 million dors. It will be transferred to your ount next Monday.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan put away the cake and took the evaluation report from Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling naturally sat beside Xia Wanyuan and exined to her.

    Xia Wanyuan had basically read all the books and magazines that Jun Shiling had been reading in the manor. In addition, Jun Shiling would exin things to Xia Wanyuan from time to time. Xia Wanyuan herself was an extremely intelligent person.

    Subconsciously, many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ideas had already aligned with Jun Shiling¡¯s. She was even more professional than many self-proimed brilliant finance professionals.

    After telling Xia Wanyuan about the organization structure of the Xia familypany, he picked a few key projects of the Xia family and told her about them.

    The more Xia Wanyuan listened, the more she felt that even if Jun Shiling did not take over the Jun Corporation, with his ability, it would be a piece of cake for him to create a business empire again.

    Two hours passed and theplicatedpany matters became clear and thorough under Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation. Xia Wanyuan had basically grasped the core information of the Xia familypany.

    ¡°You¡¯re amazing.¡±

    After understanding the basic situation of the Xia familypany, Xia Wanyuan praised Jun Shiling from the bottom of her heart.

    Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered unnaturally. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he deliberately suppressed it. ¡°I guess.¡±

    ¡°No, I think that even if you don¡¯t do business, you will still be sessful in other things.¡± Having lived two lives, Jun Shiling was truly the person Xia Wanyuan admired the most.

    Seeing the obvious admiration in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips, which he had barely suppressed, could not help but curve up.

    Jun Shiling usually had a cold expression on his face, but Xia Wanyuan had never seen him smile before.

    But at this moment, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curved up slightly, forming a beautiful arc. His deep eyes had a gentle glow, as if they were filled with gentle moonlight.

    Jun Shiling had excellent facial features to begin with. The smile on his face made him look much gentler.

    There was a bandit gentleman who was well-built and knew how to look like a star.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s smile, Xia Wanyuan suddenly did not dare to look straight into his eyes and shifted her gaze away unnaturally.

    ¡°Mommy, you ate the cake secretly and didn¡¯t bring me!¡±

    Just as Jun Shiling was about to speak, the little dumpling suddenly ran down from upstairs with an using and aggrieved expression on his face.

    Jun Shiling nced at his son, and Xiao Bao suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the half-eaten cake on the table. It was toote to cover it up now.

    ¡°Boohoo, Mommy, you told me to go to bed while you secretly ate cake here.¡±

    Because Xiao Bao had grown cavities some time ago, the dentist had instructed him not to let the little dumpling eat sweets, so everyone in the manor had packed up Xiao Bao¡¯s snacks.

    It had been a long time since he had eaten a sweet cake. Xiao Bao was already craving it, but when he woke up, his Mommy was secretly eating a strawberry cake behind his back. Xiao Bao felt so wronged that he was about to cry.

    Xiao Bao pouted his chubby little face and there was even a tear on his long eyshes. He pouted his little mouth and looked so pitiful as if he was going to cry the next second.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t eat it, it¡¯s your father.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not stand seeing Xiao Bao like this. She found it funny and heartbreaking. In a moment of desperation, she pointed at Jun Shiling.

    Before Xiao Bao could stop crying, he looked at Jun Shiling in shock.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re bad!!!¡±

 Chapter 84 - Guest Professor at Qing University

    <h4>Chapter 84: Guest Professor at Qing University</h4>

    Sensing Xiao Bao¡¯s using gaze, Jun Shiling nced at the innocent Xia Wanyuan and snorted lightly.

    ¡°When are you going to stop having cavities so you can eat cake?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, bad Daddy,¡± Xiao Bao mumbled indignantly.

    Jun Shiling stepped forward and picked up the little dumpling, ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Xiao Bao struggled for a while with his short legs, but to no avail. He resigned himself to fate and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    It was just that his thirsty gaze was fixed on the strawberry cake on the table, looking very pitiful.

    Seeing Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao go up to the second floor, Xia Wanyuan guiltily took the remaining half of the cake on the table*. Mm, it was delicious.*

    After eating, Xia Wanyuan returned to the bedroom.

    That night, the faint smell of strawberries lingered at the tip of Jun Shiling¡¯s nose, making him feel enticed.

    Since Elder Zhong did not have to attend sses that weekend, he had agreed to meet Xia Wanyuan at home.

    Xia Wanyuan went there earlier. There was still an hour before her appointment with Elder Zhong, so she spent her time strolling around the campus.

    As she slowly walked down the sunny Ginkgo Road, Xia Wanyuan looked around. Suddenly, she was attracted by the words written by a teacher on the ckboard in a window.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but walk into the education block. The teachers in the ssroom were probably preparing for ss. They were lecturing in the empty ssroom, asionally writing a few words on the ckboard.

    Xia Wanyuan stood quietly at the back door, listening to the teacher talk about literature and history.

    Professor Zhang had a public lecture that was open to the entire country. He was preparing for the lesson seriously. Halfway through his passionate lecture, he suddenly noticed a person wearing a mask standing at the back door of the ssroom.

    ¡°Student, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Professor Zhang stopped his lecture and asked curiously.

    ¡°I was just passing by. I saw that you were lecturing well and wanted to learn from you,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied humbly.

    ¡°Thene in and sit.¡± Since this public lecture was going to be shared with everyone, Professor Zhang waved at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan did not decline and entered the ssroom to find a seat.

    With the students sitting below, Professor Zhang spoke even more enthusiastically.

    Furthermore, this student had somewhat exceeded Professor Zhang¡¯s expectations. After listening to his ss, she gave many constructive opinions. ording to this student¡¯s question, Professor Zhang revised his thesis.

    ¡°Which faculty are you from?¡± Professor Zhang did not expect that the students from other faculties had such high literary and art attainments.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a student. I was just passing by.¡±

    Professor Zhang was about to continue asking Xia Wanyuan questions when the teacher¡¯s door was suddenly pushed open. ¡°Professor Zhang, the school leaders ask you to go over immediately.¡±

    Professor Zhang put down his speech and rushed to the school office. When he came back, the ssroom was already empty.

    When they arrived at Elder Zhong¡¯s house, he had something on at thest minute and had not returned yet. Madam Zhong was waiting for Xia Wanyuan at home.

    Madam Zhong was an extremely gentle woman. Xia Wanyuan had chatted with her very happily. Originally, Madam Zhong had received Xia Wanyuan at home because of Old Master Zhong¡¯s instructions.

    After drinking tea with Xia Wanyuan for a while, she fell in love with this obedient little girl in front of her.

    ¡°Old Zhong, let me tell you. I was in ss just now. There was a young person who was really talented. It¡¯s a pity that the leader suddenly looked for me. I forgot to ask for the young person¡¯s name.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother about that talented young person of yours for now. I¡¯ll introduce you to a youngsterter. That¡¯s the real talent.¡±

    After Elder Zhong was done with his work, he saw that it was already past the agreed time with Xia Wanyuan, so he rushed home. He did not expect to bump into Professor Zhang on the way home, so he brought him back.

    ¡°I think Old Zhong is back. Let¡¯s go out and take a look.¡± Madam Zhong was chatting happily with Xia Wanyuan when Old Zhong¡¯s heartyughter came from outside.

    ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m here to freeload again.¡± Professor Zhang greeted Madam Zhong when he saw her.

    ¡°Huining, is friend Xia here?¡± Elder Zhong looked around but did not see Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Elder Zhong.¡± A slender figure walked out from behind the door. Xia Wanyuan appeared before everyone like a lotus.

    The first thought that came to Professor Zhang¡¯s mind was that he was shocked by the little girl¡¯s appearance. When he recovered his senses and saw what she was wearing, he looked at her beautiful eyes again.

    ]You¡¯re that student from the ssroom just now?!¡± Professor Zhang eximed.

    ¡°Yes, hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan was also a little surprised. She did not expect to bump into the professor who had just given a lesson here.

    ¡°Old Zhang, the talented young person you mentioned just now was Xiao Xia?¡± Upon hearing Professor Zhang and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Old Zhongughed. ¡°What a coincidence. The youngster I¡¯m going to introduce to you is also Xiao Xia.¡±

    ¡°Come,e, let me introduce you.¡± Elder Zhong pointed at Professor Zhang. ¡°This is Professor Zhang, a core professor at the Arts department of Qing Dynasty.¡±

    ¡°Old Zhang, this Xiao Xia is the talented youngster I wanted to introduce to you.¡± Elder Zhong paused. ¡°She¡¯s the one who drew that boneless painting.¡±

    Professor Zhang had seen all kinds of storms in his life, but this time, he was truly shocked.

    In his view, it was impossible to draw that boneless painting to that extent without at least thirty to forty years of foundation.?<i>How old did Xia Wanyuan look? How could she draw such a painting?</i>

    However, Elder Zhong never lied. Just now in the ssroom, Professor Zhang had also felt that the young woman in front of him had deep knowledge.

    ¡°The new generation really surpasses the old! I really didn¡¯t expect that the person who drew that painting would be so young.¡±

    The admiration Professor Zhang had for Xia Wanyuan was overflowing.

    ¡°In the previous Chinese Artspetition, your work won the championship.¡± Professor Zhang paused for a moment and looked at Xia Wanyuan regretfully. ¡°Your standard is already high enough, but it¡¯s a pity that your qualifications are too low. Otherwise, I would have directly agreed to let you go to that visiting professor from the Arts major.¡±

    Elder Zhong admired Xia Wanyuan and thought for a while. ¡°Old Zhang, why don¡¯t we get Xiao Xia to send out some paintings anonymously first? When she bes famous, we can recruit her to the Qing University. What do you think?¡±

    Professor Zhang thought for a while and felt that Elder Zhong¡¯s suggestion was feasible. ¡°I¡¯m going to the Painter Association in a few days. Let me bring a painting that you drew over.¡±

    Elder Zhong had aplete set of ink and paper at home.

    To the Eldest Princess of her previous life, ying the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were allmon urrences. Hence, there was no need to prepare anything. Xia Wanyuan dipped a brush in ink and began to write on the paper, not even needing to draw a line.

    He could tell that Xia Wanyuan wanted to draw a ck bamboo.

    The first move to draw the bamboo pole determined theyout of the scene. Xia Wanyuan used her brush to draw the bamboo pole straight and cleanly, without any pause.

    Just by looking at the strength and posture of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strokes, Professor Zhang had already begun to nod repeatedly. From this small bamboo pole, he could already see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s deep mastery in painting and calligraphy.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished painting, Professor Zhang looked at the painting on the table with an excited expression.

 Chapter 85 - Picking Up a Person

    <h4>Chapter 85: Picking Up a Person</h4>

    The ink bamboo on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paper was thin and tall. Its branches were proud and snow-white, and it looked as if it was made up of a noble man¡¯s heroic spirit. It was not something to be trifled with.

    A top-notch painting, the object in the painting, was a fusion of the artist¡¯s state of mind. From Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ink bamboo, one could clearly sense the integrity in her heart.

    The signature was signed off with the words¡¯ Yuan Wanxia ¡®.

    Elder Zhong happily took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calligraphy and painting away. He wanted to take a look more, but he didn¡¯t.

    It was almost noon. Madam Zhong had wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan to stay for lunch, but something had cropped up at the office.

    Having never eaten at a university campus before, Xia Wanyuan ordered a meal in the canteen.

    As she arrived early, most of the students had not ended their sses. There were very few people in the canteen. Xia Wanyuan sat in a cubicle in the corner of the canteen with a tray of food.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brothers. Back then, we were ssmates. Everyone trusted me. We started our first step in this ce. Now that thepany has failed, everyone here will drink this ss of wine and treat it as a closure.¡±

    The cubicle was not very soundproof, so Xia Wanyuan could clearly hear the conversation in the private room next door.

    ¡°Brother Shen, if not for their power and influence, with your ability, how could you not win against them?!¡±

    ¡°Alright, they¡¯ve already sued me in court. I won¡¯t be able to win thewsuit. I sold the property, divided it into six parts, and transferred it to your ount. In the future, find a stable job.¡± The person who spoke seemed to be extremely depressed, and there was obvious fatigue in his voice.

    ¡°Brother Shen!¡± The others wanted to say something else, but they were stopped.

    ¡°Here, drink this.¡±

    The sound of sses clinking could be heard. Even though the others were extremely reluctant, Brother Shen still resolutely chased everyone away.

    Xia Wanyuan was forced to listen to the entire conversation. She slowly chewed on the food in her mouth.?<i>This person called Brother Shen was quite responsible.</i>

    In the private room next door, everyone left. Shen Qian leaned against the window and looked at the juniorsing and going on the school path.

    Ten years ago, he was once the pride of this school.

    At the beginning of his graduation, he gathered a group of ambitious ssmates who had the same thoughts and set up their ownpany.

    In the past ten years, he had not slept well almost every night and had spent all his energy and effort on thepany.

    Fortunately, his hard work had paid off. Hispany¡¯s performance rose steadily. As a new talent in the industry, his rise naturally attracted the attention of some established corporations.

    The market was only so big, and hispany¡¯s performance was getting bigger and bigger, which inevitably vited the interests of others.

    During a recent bid, because of thend that he was bidding on, thepany thatpeted with him had spent a lot of money to bribe his employees and steal the proposal.

    They had even framed the usation that the finance department was faking it and sued him in court.

    The other party was rich and had made sufficient preparations. He had no means of retaliating.

    At the thought of this, Shen Qian clenched his fists. He had been conscientious all these years and had done every project he had, but all he had received in return was wasting years of hard work and a boundless prison life.

    At this moment, his phone lit up and a message popped up.

    ¡°Brother Shen, I don¡¯t want to give birth to the child. I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Shen Qian read the message and her eyes turned gloomy. It was as if thest light in his life had been extinguished.

    In just a few seconds, Shen Qian looked as if he had changed into a different person. His face was filled with a deathly aura, making it impossible for anyone to think that this person was the high-spirited president of the campus ten years ago.

    ¡°What was the name of your previouspany?¡±

    A clear female voice suddenly came from above.

    Shen Qian suddenly raised his head. An extremely beautiful woman was standing in front of him, standing in a dazzling manner. Her entire person was like the first snowke on the peak of a snow mountain. She had a hint of coldness, but she was also extremely mysterious and moving.

    ¡°You are?¡± Shen Qian frowned in confusion.

    ¡°We¡¯ll meet in a while. Tell me first, what was the name of your originalpany?¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled out a chair and sat opposite Shen Qian.

    ¡°Hui Yue Technology.¡±

    Although the woman in front of him appeared out of nowhere and the questions she asked were also baffling, Shen Qian felt a calming force from her, making him trust this person a little more in his heart.

    Xia Wanyuan took out her phone and searched for Hui Yue Technology. A lot of reports were released.

    As the CEO of Hui Yue Technology, Shen Qian naturally had a lot of information. Xia Wanyuan picked a few and read them.

    Seeing that the beautiful woman before her was looking at her phone after asking for thepany¡¯s name, Shen Qian asked curiously, ¡°Excuse me, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished reading the information about Shen Qian, she raised her head and looked straight into Shen Qian¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯ll save you from prison.¡±

    Shen Qian¡¯s eyes widened abruptly, but then he frowned tightly. ¡°I don¡¯t think I have anything else worth your help? Besides, I don¡¯t believe you have such great ability.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Shen Qian, who was still thinking calmly despite being extremely depressed. She was impressed.

    Xia Wanyuan did not bring any documents with her, so she searched for the Xia family¡¯spany on her phone and showed thepany¡¯s situation to Shen Qian. ¡°Thispany is bankrupt.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± The Xia family was considered a ratherrge corporation in the industry, so Shen Qian naturally knew about it.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be the biggest shareholder of the Xia family next week, and I¡¯ll be injecting it with 60 million dors. I need a manager.¡±

    ¡°Everything you say is incredible.¡± Shen Qian had never seen anyone as good-looking as Xia Wanyuan, nor had he ever seen someone so inexplicable. However, looking at those eyes that were as clear as ice, Shen Qian said word by word, ¡°But I want to believe you.¡±

    People said that the eyes were the windows to the soul. From Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Shen Qian could see the confidence to control everything.

    ¡°Leave me your number.¡± Seeing how straightforward Shen Qian was, Xia Wanyuan felt that she had not misjudged him.

    ¡°See you at the Xia familypany next Tuesday at 10 pm.¡± After receiving Shen Qian¡¯s number, Xia Wanyuan stood up and left.

    When he got home, if not for the string of numbers that appeared on his phone, Shen Qian would have suspected that he was hallucinating.

    But no matter what, he secretly hoped that this woman would bring him light, even though he still did not know her name.

    Until Monday night, Shen Qian did not receive a call from Xia Wanyuan. Shen Qian looked at the night sky outside the window andughed at himself. As expected, he was imagining things.

    The phone rang.

    ¡°Hey! Brother Shen, did you know?! The other party withdrew thewsuit! !¡­¡±

    ¡°¡­.¡±

    The next day, at the entrance of the Xia familypany, a man in a suit looked up at the building with determination and ambition.

 Chapter 86 - Xia Wanyuan became CEO Xia

    <h4>Chapter 86: Xia Wanyuan became CEO Xia</h4>

    ¡°Wanyuan, the shares have already been transferred to you. When will the funds that Master Jun promised be transferred to your ount?¡±

    He signed the contract happily. As long as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s funds were in ce, he could gather his employees again and the Xia family¡¯spany could be revived.

    Xia Wanyuan sat at the table. ¡°The funds have arrived.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great! Thepany is finally saved. You should go back first. Thank you so much for this.¡± Father Xia put away the documents and prepared to go to his old office.

    However, Xia Wanyuan spoke leisurely from behind him. ¡°This is mypany. Where do you want me to go?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Father Xia turned around in shock and asked rather angrily.

    ¡°This is what I mean.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved the document in her hand and spoke calmly to Father Xia¡¯s question.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯ve nevere into contact with the management of thepany. It¡¯s not easy for thepany toe back to life. Leave it to Daddy.¡±

    For some reason, Father Xia could see something unexpected in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear eyes. He felt that this daughter of his was no longer under his control, so he softened his tone.

    ¡°I will naturally think of a way to manage it. If you¡¯re willing to stay in thepany, you can be a consultant. If there are any problems with thepany, help take a look. If you¡¯re unwilling, you can go home and apany your delicate wife.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Father Xia¡¯s flushed face.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear that your son is about to be born? Stay at home and spend more time with Han Yuan.¡±

    ¡°You!!¡± Father Xia was furious. He pointed at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You nned this a long time ago. The Xia family is such a bigpany. If you don¡¯t know anything, how can you manage it?! Are you going to let the Xia family lose to you?¡±

    ¡°Father, you must be joking. Thepany seems to have gone bankrupt under your hands.¡± Upon hearing Father Xia¡¯s words, a trace of coldness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Besides, I already have a candidate to manage thepany.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her gazended on the man in a suit at the office door.

    ¡°Shen Qian?!!¡± As a young entrepreneur who had risen rapidly in the country, Father Xia had a deep impression of Shen Qian. He was a very capable and ambitious young man.

    Shen Qian originally had no intention of eavesdropping on other people¡¯s conversation, but Father Xia¡¯s voice was too loud and he was forced to eavesdrop on the drama of the father and daughter power struggles.

    At this moment, the way Shen Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan changed. He originally thought that she was a rich second-generation heir who had no ce to go and had bought a bankruptpany to y with. He didn¡¯t expect her to be the bankrupt daughter of the Xia family.

    The most important thing was that even though the Xia family was bankrupt, the beautiful heiress of the Xia family had enough money to steal her father¡¯s shares.

    ¡°CEO Xia.¡± Shen Qian restrained the thoughts in his eyes and walked towards Xia Wanyuan, greeting her respectfully.

    Hearing this form of address, Father Xia subconsciously prepared to respond, but he realized that Shen Qian was actually calling Xia Wanyuan. He choked on his words.

    ¡°En. This is thepany¡¯s evaluation report. Take it ande with me to the office.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan tidied up the evaluation report that Jun Shiling had given her. Together with her own understanding, she summarized the information that Shen Qian had.

    Shen Qian casually flipped through it and the look in his eyes became even more strange. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan became even more strange.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Shen Qian had no intention of paying any attention to him, Father Xia left thepany angrily.

    ¡°Just send someone from the investment department to cooperate with the Xia family.¡±

    Xuan Sheng rested his legs on the office table and satzily. The pen in his hand was still signing.

    ¡°But the original CEO of the Xia family has transferred his shares today.¡± In recent days, Xuan Sheng had stopped showing his interest in Xia Wanyuan. The assistant hesitated for a long time before deciding to inform Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng stopped writing and turned to his assistant, signaling him to continue. His assistant was not stupid enough to report the transfer of shares to him.

    ¡°The biggest shareholder of the Xia family now is Miss Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Oh?¡±

 Chapter 87 - Jun Shilings Little Canary

    <h4>Chapter 87: Jun Shiling¡¯s Little Canary</h4>

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Xuan Shengughed. Back then, when he was investigating Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information, he had not taken it seriously. He did not expect that Xia Wanyuan was actually Xia Yuanqing¡¯s daughter.

    However, this canary was quite an ambitious canary. The Xia family was so big, could this little canary eat it?

    ¡°Ask the investment department toe back. I¡¯ll go there myself.¡±

    Xuan Sheng retracted his legs from the table and threw the documents on the table. He picked up his coat from the back of the chair and strode out. His assistant hurriedly followed him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have any requests for you. Just do whatever you want.¡± Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian to her office and discussed thepany¡¯s ns with him.

    Shen Qian had a lot of experience. He started from scratch and thepany developed from a small studio to having close to a thousand employees. Shen Qian knew basically every job well.

    This meant that he was a leader who was extremely close to the bottom. This was extremely valuable to the higher management of thepany.

    Xia Wanyuan admired Shen Qian greatly. This person was ambitious but not greedy. He was capable and had a good character. He was a rare talent.

    If not for the coincidence that allowed Xia Wanyuan to bump into him in his most pathetic state, Xia Wanyuan would never have the confidence to make such a talent work for her willingly.

    While chatting with Xia Wanyuan, Shen Qian kept refreshing his understanding of this woman in front of him.

    Xia Wanyuan had a big picture view that many people her age did not have. It was as if she was born to be in power, and she had the confidence to control anything and everything.

    After half an hour, Shen Qian was already extremely convinced of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you for saving me from prison, Chairman Xia. To me, you¡¯re equivalent to giving me a new life. I will work hard for you.¡±

    After thepany went bankrupt, he did not want to implicate his brothers who had followed him since graduation. After giving everyone a generous severance fee, he asked them to leave.

    His girlfriend, who he had loved for many years, was already pregnant with his child, but she had proposed to break up with him at this moment.

    From a privileged person to a sessful entrepreneur, there were countless flowers on the way.

    However, when he reached the lowest point, it was this woman who reached out to him.

    Xia Wanyuan had given him a lot of power and almost had no restrictions on him. This made him very touched.

    ¡°If your performance this year reaches the target, I will give you 10% of thepany shares.¡±

    ¡°This?!¡± Shen Qian was someone who had been tempered in the business world and had never been shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s spending.

    The Xia family¡¯s business was not small. Taking into ount the 10% shares, it was actually much more valuable than thepany he had founded. In the ten years he had been in the business world, he had never met such a boss.

    ¡°Do your job well. You and thispany will be together for glory and for destruction. I believe in you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Shen Qian trustfully.

    10% shares was indeed a lot, butpared to a loyal and capable manager, it was nothing.

    From Shen Qian¡¯s firm and grateful gaze, Xia Wanyuan knew that the shares she had given were worth it.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave thepany to you in the future. A partner wille overter, I¡¯ll go with you to take a look.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished her sentence, a message came from the front desk saying that the partner had arrived at the meeting room.

    Xuan Sheng sat in the meeting room, twirling the pen in his hand.

    The door creaked open. Xuan Sheng looked up and met a pair of familiar eyes.

    <i>Shen Qian?</i>

    Xuan Sheng recognized Shen Qian. They were both neers in the business world and were familiar with each other. Although Xuan Sheng had never interacted with Shen Qian before, he knew that he was a very capable young man.

    Shen Qian pushed open the door but did not enter directly. Instead, he stood at the door and weed the person behind him.

    Touching that pair of familiar peach blossom eyes, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what a coincidence.¡± Xuan Sheng found it interesting again. He knew Shen Qian. He had always been arrogant and very capable. How could he be so respectful to Xia Wanyuan? Moreover, he could tell that Shen Qian¡¯s respect came from the bottom of his heart.

    ¡°Mr. Xuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear voice fell into Xuan Sheng¡¯s ears. Xuan Sheng¡¯s heart itched. It had been a few days since he had seen this little canary, and he actually found it exceptionally pleasant to listen to.

    ¡°I heard that Miss Xia has be a major shareholder. Congrattions.¡±

    ¡°Mr. Xuan, you have good eyes and ears.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up, and his eyes were filled with smiles. This little canary actually mocked him.

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. Xuan Sheng looked uninhibited, but the depth hidden in his peach blossom-shaped eyes could not be underestimated.

    Xia Wanyuan sat opposite him, her aura not at all inferior.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a ck windbreaker, making her look extremely cold. Her originally noble temperament was entuated.

    ¡°I¡¯m here today because of the development of the mountain resort.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was caught off guard and started to negotiate.

    At this moment, he stopped being cynical and started talking about the contract he had signed with Father Xia in the past. He had a meticulous mind and strong logic.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already finished my request. If there¡¯s no problem, we can renew the contract or I can withdraw my investment directly.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked at Shen Qian. Shen Qian had just taken over thepany and didn¡¯t know much about the Xia family¡¯s situation. However, from what Xuan Sheng said just now, there wasn¡¯t much of a problem.

    ¡°How should the subsequent arrangements be divided?¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked.

    Shen Qian didn¡¯t know much about the project, but Jun Shiling had once told Xia Wanyuan about this important project, so Xia Wanyuan quickly followed Xuan Sheng¡¯s train of thought and found the problem with the contract.

    Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. His n could be said to be perfect. Even Shen Qian could not see the ws in this n, yet Xia Wanyuan could point them out.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what do you think?¡± Xuan Sheng sat up straight and faced Xia Wanyuan, beginning to listen to her opinion seriously.

    ]¡±Since neither party is willing to take over the subsequent arrangements, why don¡¯t¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan exined the n in an orderly manner ording to her train of thought. The more Xuan Sheng listened, the brighter his eyes became.

    ¡°Miss Xia is truly unexpected.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Xuan Sheng apuded humbly. ¡°Let¡¯s do as Miss Xia suggested. Let¡¯s have a pleasant cooperation.¡±

    Who would have thought that Xuan Sheng, who was initially nning to withdraw his investment, had be the first client the Xia familypany had to wee after restarting?

    After the meeting and both parties had signed their names, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perfect profile as she lowered her head, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes were filled with interest.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her head. Her almond-shaped eyes were moist and her aura was clear.

    ¡°Miss Xia, have you raised canaries before? Canaries are quite interesting.¡± There was a smile in Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom-shaped eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°I like them very much.¡±

 Chapter 88 - Xia Wanyuan Sends Food to the Company

    <h4>Chapter 88: Xia Wanyuan Sends Food to the Company</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Xuan Sheng¡¯s teasing gaze and recalled that Xuan Sheng had seen her and Jun Shiling together at the lecture previously.

    With a thought, she understood who the canary Xuan Sheng was referring to.

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell that you liked canaries. I thought that you should like lizards.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone turned cold. She looked straight at Xuan Sheng and gathered her aura. Xuan Sheng could feel the change in Xia Wanyuan almost instantly.

    Before Xuan Sheng could speak further, Xia Wanyuan greeted Shen Qian and left, ignoring Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back in shock. He was stunned for a moment before asking his assistant, ¡°What¡¯s so special about lizards?¡±

    The assistant hesitated and did not dare to speak.

    ¡°Lizards have long tongues,¡± Shen Qian said from the other side of the table. He added, ¡°And they¡¯re ugly.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha.¡± Who would have thought that Xuan Sheng would not be angry after hearing these words? Instead, there was a smile in his eyes.

    After settling the Xia family¡¯s matters, Xia Wanyuan felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from her heart. In the future, after she divorced Jun Shiling, she would not have to sleep on the streets anymore.

    It was already time for lunch. The food in the manor was indeed delicious, but after eating for a long time, she always wanted to change her taste.

    Xia Wanyuan thought of having lunch outside. Thinking of how Jun Shiling had helped her so much, she didn¡¯t know how to thank him.

    Seeing a pretty good restaurant, Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°We¡¯re almost done with the n for the next quarter. There are still a few problems. One is¡­¡±

    His phone suddenly rang in the office.

    Everyone broke out in a cold sweat and looked down to see if they had forgotten to silent their phones.

    After confirming that it was not their phones, everyone looked up confidently. Their gazes darted around, wanting to know which unlucky person¡¯s phone was ringing. They felt sorry for that unlucky person.

    Then, everyone saw Jun Shiling take out his phone from his suit pocket and pressed the answer button.

    Everyone stoppedining in their hearts.

    ¡°Hey, um, okay. Come on. Let me know when you get there.¡±

    The participants who appeared to be sitting up straight were actually looking at Jun Shiling from the corner of their eyes.

    Then, everyone saw that the stern and cold big boss¡¯s expression softened.

    <i>His tone waspletely different from when he was lecturing us!!</i>

    It was a cold breeze to them, but it was a spring breeze when he talked on the phone.

    <i>Tsk, tsk. The Big Boss must be in a rtionship.</i>?Everyone in the meeting room had lost interest in the meeting and was eavesdropping on the Big Boss¡¯s gossip.

    <i>Eh, why was there no sound?</i>?Everyone secretly turned their heads and met a pair of deep eyes that were like a thousand-year-old coldke.

    <i>Mm, this is the familiar boss!</i>

    It was so familiar that it was scary. Jun Shiling nced at it and everyone hurriedly sat properly.

    ¡°Continue the topic,¡± Jun Shiling said.

    ¡°Okay¡­¡±

    Half an hourter, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang again just as the meeting ended.

    Jun Shiling picked up the phone and walked out, leaving behind a room full of curious but afraid subordinates.

    It was lunchtime and there were not many people in the office building. However, when Jun Shiling came out of the elevator, he still caused amotion in the hall.

    After all, as the person in charge of the Jun Corporation, only the higher management of the corporation had ess to Jun Shiling.

    They did not expect to see him twice in just half a month.

    Some of the new interns already admired the person in charge of the Jun Corporation. When they saw Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome face, their hearts swayed, and they naturally had some strange thoughts.

    ¡°Hello, President Jun, I¡¯m a new employee. I¡¯ve admired you since I first entered university. Can I have your autograph?¡±

    The beautiful new employee had just graduated from university. She had light makeup on and had her hair tied up into a high ponytail, revealing a youthful face. At that moment, she was looking at Jun Shiling with admiration.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s footsteps were stopped, and his brows furrowed slightly.

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, my name is Bai Ning.¡± The corners of Bai Ning¡¯s lips curled up into an innocent smile.

    The others in the hall looked at Bai Ning enviously. She was too lucky to have Master Jun remember her name. Perhaps she could even use this opportunity to build a rtionship with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have toe to work anymore.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun?!¡± Bai Ning¡¯s eyes widened. In school, no matter what happened, as long as she acted coquettishly, those boys would do it for her.

    ¡°Go to the HR department to settle the paperwork.¡± Master Jun didn¡¯t want to talk to her anymore. He turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a mask and hat at the entrance.

    Bai Ning still wanted to say something to Jun Shiling, but the other employees beside her hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away, afraid that she would make Jun Shiling angry and cause everyone to suffer together with her.

    ¡°That youngdy is quite pretty.¡± Xia Wanyuan had just entered when she saw Jun Shiling being stopped.

    ¡°I don¡¯t even know that person,¡± Jun Shiling exined hurriedly.

    Picking up the lunch box in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, Jun Shiling brought her upstairs.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for you to be liked?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with a smile. After all, no matter where he went, there would probably be arge number of people lining up to like such an outstanding man.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression seriously. Seeing that there was no hint of unhappiness in her eyes, but instead a hint of teasing, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned cold.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan coldly. Xia Wanyuan did not know why Jun Shiling was suddenly angry.

    Seeing the two of them disappear into the elevator, everyone gathered together.

    ¡°Wow!!!! That can¡¯t be CEO Jun¡¯s girlfriend, right?!!! The delusion of the world actually touched his heart? I¡¯m crying.¡±

    ¡°I think she came herest time. I heard that CEO Jun was the one who sent her downstairs.¡±

    ¡°Really? CEO Jun¡¯s face was so dark just now. If he was really in a rtionship, how could he be so cold?¡±

    When everyone heard this, they thought of Jun Shiling¡¯s cold expression just now and felt that it made sense. They had never seen anyone in a rtionship who could be so cold.

    ¡°Sigh, you people just don¡¯t have a pair of gentle eyes,¡± the receptionist said quietly. ¡°Although CEO Jun¡¯s attitude is cold, haven¡¯t you noticed that he has been walking side by side with that mysterious woman?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Everyone was confused. They couldn¡¯t understand Boss Jun¡¯s high-level gentleness.

    ¡°CEO Jun is so tall. It¡¯s obvious that he slowed down when he walked with a woman in high heels. If CEO Jun was really angry, he would have thrown her 800 meters away.¡±

    When everyone heard that, it seemed to make sense.?<i>Could it be that the Jun Corporation was about to wee its mistress?!</i>

 Chapter 89 - Master Juns Girlfriend Is Lin Xuan?!

    <h4>Chapter 89: Master Jun¡¯s Girlfriend Is Lin Xuan?!</h4>

    In thepany building, other than the employees of the Jun Corporation, there were also some guests who came and went.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s appearance downstairs had caused a hugemotion. Other than gossiping about himself, the employees of the Jun Corporation would not spread rumors, in case they lost their jobs. It was not necessarily the case for outsiders. Some of them had secretly taken photos.

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s status and how popr he was on the Inte, the person who took the photos thought that he would definitely make a lot of money.

    Hence, while Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were eating, the trending topic of ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s mysterious girlfriend¡± caused a stir on the Inte.

    An anonymous sub-ount sent a few photos. It was obvious that the person taking the photos was a little far from Jun Shiling. The quality of the photos was a little blurry, but it did not affect the long and slender bodies of the two people in the photos. They looked elegant.

    Instead, because of the blurry quality of the painting, it added a hint of haziness. In the picture, Jun Shiling was dressed in a suit, and his fierce aura made people feel submissive from the bottom of their hearts, even through the photo.

    The woman beside him was wrapped tightly, but one could still tell that she had an excellent figure and a clear temperament.

    [ My heart is broken!!! AHHHH!!! Which little vixen stole my husband! ]

    [ They actually look quitepatible. ]

    [ F*ck!!! The world¡¯s most eligible bachelor is gone just like that! ]

    [ Even such a blurred painting can¡¯t hide my husband¡¯s handsomeness. Boohoo, I feel like crying when I think that such a handsome CEO belongs to someone else. ]

    [ Wait for the powerfulizens to find out who this mysterious woman is. ]

    [ None of you will believe me even if I tell you. This is actually the first time Jun Shiling has been involved in a scandal!!!! ]

    [ Alright, you don¡¯t have to remind me how good Jun Shiling is anymore. My heart is already broken. ]

    At the same time, everyone was searching for the woman beside Jun Shiling.

    Some started the same model of the shoes, while otherspared it from the bodies. Even the bone typeparison was out.

    In the end, it was a message from a marketing ount that looked the most reliable.

    The marketing ount drew out the bag that the mysterious woman was carrying and ced a red carpet picture of the popr actress Lin Xuan attending the event the day before.

    ¡°This bag is a limited edition brand C that was released this year. There are less than ten of them worldwide. The day before Lin Xuan attended the event, she was carrying thistest limited edition bag. Therefore, it¡¯s obvious who the woman beside Jun Shiling is.¡±

    On Weibo, there was even a list of Lin Xuan¡¯s height and build, and she professionally analyzed the resemnce between the mysterious woman and Lin Xuan.

    [ Wow, a rich, beautiful celebrity and the wealthiest person in China. They look a littlepatible. ]

    [ Fans of Lin Xuan, stop bragging about the beauty of being rich! Hasn¡¯t Lin Xuan been exposed for being a sugar baby for a long time? And you call her rich and beautiful? I¡¯m dying ofughter. ]

    [¡­ If it was Lin Xuan, I wouldn¡¯t be able to love CEO Jun anymore. ]

    [ Looking at his figure, he really does look a little like him. Does Jun Shiling like to y inte celebrities too? ]

    [ He¡¯s the richest man in the country and he¡¯s young and promising. It would be abnormal if he doesn¡¯t y with women, right? How many rich men are clean? ]

    Everyone was specting about the woman beside Jun Shiling. At that moment, Lin Xuan, who was the most popr topic of discussion, posted on Weibo.

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to get this bag. Hehe, is it beautiful? It¡¯s especially hard to buy. It¡¯s the only one in China!¡±

    The apanying picture was a silvery-white custom-made bag. It looked the same as the one the woman beside Jun Shiling was carrying.

 Chapter 90 - Master Jun Cant Hold On To The Princesss Whining

    <h4>Chapter 90: Master Jun Can¡¯t Hold On To The Princess¡¯s Whining</h4>

    [ What the f*ck? The main character is out? ]

    [ Wow, is Xuanxuan really in a rtionship with Master Jun!! That¡¯s awesome! I hope they¡¯ll be happy and together for a long time! ]

    [ That¡¯s too much drama, is it true? Would Jun Shiling like you? ]

    [ The person in front, if Master Jun doesn¡¯t fancy our Xuanxuan, why would he fancy you? Why don¡¯t you look in the mirror and see what you look like? ]

    Some passers-by clicked on Lin Xuan¡¯s photo album and looked at it for a long time. They realized that they could not remember this beautiful woman¡¯s face.

    The shape of her face was like an assembly line. It was really hard to tell. A passerby casually wrote down ament. ¡°I don¡¯t think Lin Xuan is that pretty. I think that Xia Wanyuan is much more beautiful than Lin Xuan. Young Master Jun doesn¡¯t have good taste.¡±

    At this moment, basically all those who liked Lin Xuan and those who did not gathered together to scold this passer-by on the hot topic list.

    [ Hahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. Putting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name together with Jun Shiling is an insult to Master Jun, alright? ]

    [ Although I think Lin Xuan and Jun Shiling are worlds apart, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are even more worlds apart, alright? ]

    [ OP, don¡¯t joke around. Can Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan be together? If Jun Shiling can look Xia Wanyuan in the eye, I¡¯ll eat my phone live. ]

    [ What kind of trash is Xia Wanyuan? Does she deserve to bepared to Xuanxuan? ]

    Lin Xuan had posted this Weibo post under the orders of her team. However, because of this Weibo post, everyone had silently agreed that she and Jun Shiling were a couple.

    It was simr to what the news online had said. Ever since Lin Xuan entered the entertainment industry, she had always been an amazing social butterfly.

    She knew the wealthy families in Beijing very well, but she had never had the chance to enter the core wealthy families. She could only get a feel for them.

    She did not expect that she would be tied to Jun Shiling this time. Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes shed with excitement. Perhaps she could use this opportunity to make Jun Shiling remember her.

    When the time came, she would make use of the fact that she had troubled Jun Shiling to apologize to him. Perhaps she could really see Jun Shiling.

    Lin Xuan¡¯s heart fluttered when she saw the fans calling her Madam Jun.

    Despite the heated discussions online, the two people in Jun Shiling¡¯s office were not affected at all.

    Xia Wanyuan had just passed by a Sichuan restaurant. The food in the manor was light. Xia Wanyuan saw that the publicity photos at the entrance of the restaurant were pretty good, so she got the chauffeur to buy some.

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t like spicy food, so Xia Wanyuan bought him some light dishes.

    In front of him was a bowl of salivating chicken drenched in red oil and rabbit leg meat that the shop owner had strongly rmended.

    Half of the chicken had already entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach, and her face was covered in a thinyer of sweat from the spiciness. Her lips were also extremely red from the chili oil.

    ¡°Hiss.¡± The savory and spicy seasonings, together with the extremely fresh and tender chicken, were both numb and spicy in her stomach, but she could not help but pick them up one by one.

    After taking a sip of the cold tea, Xia Wanyuan continued to reach for the te with the chicken. However, Jun Shiling stopped her midway.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    ¡°It¡¯s too spicy. You don¡¯t usually eat spicy food. Your stomach won¡¯t be able to take it if you eat too much.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan disapprovingly.?<i>She had already eaten half of it and it was almost enough.</i>

    ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten spicy food in a long time. Can I eat a little more? Just a little.¡±

    Xiao Bao always liked to speak softly to people he trusted. Having lived with Xiao Bao for a long time, Xia Wanyuan could not help but be influenced by him.

 Chapter 91 - A Forceful Slap in the Face

    <h4>Chapter 91: A Forceful p in the Face</h4>

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was slightly raising her head. Her face was covered in a thinyer of sweat, making her rosy cheeks look even more rosy and rosy.

    There was a soft pleading in her eyes that were normally clean and carefree.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He, who had always been decisive and decisive in killing, could not stand such a gaze.

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chopsticks and chided, ¡°Speak properly.¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan also felt that something was wrong. She seemed to subconsciously feel that Jun Shiling was a very trustworthy person, so when she spoke to Jun Shiling, she unconsciously became a little soft.

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. However, seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s usual expression after speaking, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was overthinking things.

    After lunch, the chicken dish on the table was clean and Xia Wanyuan ate it with great satisfaction.

    ¡°What do you have this afternoon?¡± Jun Shiling asked when he saw Xia Wanyuan preparing to pack up and leave.

    ¡°Nothing.¡± The publicity for the production team had yet to start, and the Xia family¡¯spany had already been settled. She probably had nothing to do for the next few days.

    ¡°Then stay here. I¡¯ll give you a document. I¡¯ll exin it to you after you read it.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan took over the Xia family¡¯spany, she realized that in the modern world, there were so many new ways to manage apany. It was not as simple as managing something in her previous life.

    Jun Shiling was an excellent teacher. Since he had said so, Xia Wanyuan was naturally very willing.

    Xia Wanyuan was extremely serious when she was reading. When Jun Shiling asionally shifted his gaze away from theputer, he saw that not far away, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile was gentle and firm as she read seriously.

    The sunlight formed a circle of light behind her, blurring her perfect facial features. The soul that was as gentle as water and as firm as a mountain emitted from her body weed the sunlight.

    As if tired from watching, Xia Wanyuan rubbed her shoulders.

    ¡°Just lie on the sofa and watch. No one elsees into the office.¡±

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cervical vertebra had not been good. Later on, she always liked to lean on the bed and read memorials, so she gradually developed this habit.

    After arriving in the modern world, the sofa design here was especiallyfortable. At home, Xia Wanyuan liked to lean on the sofa.

    Jun Shiling had also discovered this habit of hers.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not bother exchanging pleasantries with Jun Shiling. Since he said she could, she took off her shoes, pulled the nket over, and leaned back on the sofa.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s natural behavior and a smile shed across his eyes.

    At this moment, if it were anyone else, no one would dare to take off their shoes in front of him. Even if he gave his permission, others would still be trembling with fear, unlike Xia Wanyuan.

    However, the fact that Xia Wanyuan behaved so naturally in front of him made Jun Shiling¡¯s mood inexplicably good.

    One afternoon, Xia Wanyuan was leaning on the sofa reading a book while Jun Shiling was busy with work. The room was peaceful.

    In the afternoon, Lin Jing received news from the public rtions department that Jun Shiling had been the talk of the town. The public rtions department came to ask him how he should rify the situation.

    Lin Jing naturally knew who that mysterious woman was, but it was difficult to rify this matter.

    After all, it involved other women. Lin Jing was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be unhappy if she saw it, so he temporarily suppressed the call from the public rtions department and nned to ask Jun Shiling for his opinion after Xia Wanyuan left.

    However, this wait became a few hours.

    Lin Jing did not dare to enter rashly. If he disturbed Jun Shiling, Lin Jing could imagine how miserable his ending would be.

    By the time it reached five in the afternoon, it was almost time to get off work. Lin Jing deliberated over what to do before sending a screenshot of Lin Xuan¡¯s Weibo post to Jun Shiling.

    Then, he told her about Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s secret photos.

    To Lin Jing¡¯s surprise, Jun Shiling replied very quickly.

    Lin Jing looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s opinion and fell into silence.?<i>Master Jun is too ruthless.</i>

    On Weibo, everyone was still happily gossiping about Jun Shiling and Lin Xuan.

    Some marketing ounts received money and found all sorts of coincidences on Lin Xuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo. Even the fact that the two of them had gone to the same country was dug up by people, and they assumed that Jun Shiling had brought Lin Xuan there.

    Just as everyone was praising them to be sweet and calling Lin Xuan ¡®Madam Jun¡¯ enviously, the official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation suddenly posted a Weibo post.

    ¡°It¡¯s not worth much. Let¡¯s have a lucky draw for everyone and we¡¯ll choose five winners. You can just repost andment.¡±

    The apanying picture was the global limited edition ten bag that had just been released by C brand.

    [ F*ck! Hahahahahahaha! The officials are pping us in the face! What a worthless thing. Amazing! ]

    [ There¡¯s a double meaning to their words. Does Lin Xuan feel awkward? She insisted on sticking close to him to make others think that she¡¯s Master Jun¡¯s girlfriend. It doesn¡¯t seem like that¡¯s the case now. ]

    [ Oh my god, there are only ten bags in the world. Master Jun casually took five out for the lucky draw. Boohoo, my husband is too handsome! ]

    [ As expected, my husband doesn¡¯t give face to flirtatious sluts. Hahahaha, so handsome! Do you know that just because Lin Xuan tied my husband up and caused a scandal, my husband went home and coaxed me for a long time? ]

    [ The one in front, if you ate two more peanuts, you wouldn¡¯t be so drunk. ]

    [ I¡¯m not going to dream about being Madam Jun. I just want to draw this bag. Boohoo, please, let me win! ]

    Because Jun Shiling was extremely popr and the bag was worth a lot, in an instant, everyone on Weibo was reposting this lucky draw Weibo post.

    In just an hour, Weibo had been reposted two million times.

    Meanwhile, the entire inte knew about the joke of Lin Xuan being pped in the face after failing to pay up.

    Everyone swarmed into Lin Xuan¡¯s Weiboments to mock her. Lin Xuan could only delete her Weibo post dejectedly.

    By the time Jun Shiling got off work, the inte had basically quieted down.

    Seeing that it was still early and that the little dumpling had not finished school yet, Xia Wanyuan decided to pick Xiao Bao up with Jun Shiling.

    When the car arrived at the kindergarten, she saw Xiao Bao arguing with another little bun from afar.

    ¡°You¡¯re a nobody. The vegetables in the field are a little toomon.¡±

    When the original owner of the body was still around, Xiao Bao was always taken by the nanny and chauffeur. Whenever there was an event in the kindergarten, the nanny would be the one who brought him there.

    Although children were not scheming, over time, they learned that his parents had nevere to take care of Xiao Bao.

    The two of them had just gotten into an argument and said that Xiao Bao was a dish that no one wanted in the field. This angered Xiao Bao and he wanted to fight with someone.

    The other party¡¯s parents came to pick up the child. When they saw that the child was about to be beaten, they hurriedly went forward and pushed Xiao Bao away.

    Stunned, Xiao Bao took a few steps back. Just as he was about to fall, someone picked him up and hugged him.

 Chapter 92 - My Wife is Still Young

    <h4>Chapter 92: My Wife is Still Young</h4>

    ¡°Daddy! Mommy!¡±

    Xiao Bao smelled a familiar scent and turned around. It was indeed Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    It was rare for Jun Shiling to reach out and stroke Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    When he was fighting with his ssmates just now, he clearly felt nothing but anger. Now that Jun Shiling was rubbing his head, Xiao Bao suddenly felt wronged. Hisrge eyes were filled with tears that fell down.

    The child¡¯s parents also saw Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan and were shocked by their appearances.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and wiped the tears from Xiao Bao¡¯s face. Her heart ached as she asked.

    ¡°He snatched my toy.¡± Xiao Bao sobbed. ¡°Mommy bought that little pig for me. Boohoo.¡± The more Xiao Bao thought about it, the sadder he became.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a lousy toy? Here, take it back!¡± The child opposite him threw the toy at Xiao Bao.

    The little piggy toy flew towards Xiao Bao, and Jun Shiling reached out to cover his head. The toy touched Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and rolled to the ground.

    ¡°Hmph! Mommy, I want a piggy toy. Go and buy one for me.¡± Wang Ming had been pampered by the elders of both families since he was young. After he was born, his father had been promoted and gained wealth. His family was rich and powerful. Hence, although he was young, he was already extremely domineering.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Mommy will buy it for you in a while. You didn¡¯t get beaten up, did you?¡± Wang Ming¡¯s mother examined her son¡¯s hand over and over again to make sure that he was okay. Then, she held her son¡¯s hand and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Wait,¡± Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°What?¡± Wang Ming¡¯s mother looked at Xia Wanyuan unhappily.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t your son apologize for snatching my son¡¯s toy?¡±

    ¡°Mommy, he grabbed my hand too. Look!¡± Xiao Bao stretched out his wrist. There was an obvious red mark on it.

    When Jun Shiling saw the red mark on his son¡¯s hand, his aura instantly turned cold.

    ¡°Our child is young and not very sensible. Why are you bickering with him?¡± Wang Ming¡¯s mother pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s just a little push and pull between children.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered as she walked towards Wang Ming¡¯s mother. Before the other party could react to what she was trying to do, Xia Wanyuan raised her hand and gave Wang Ming¡¯s mother a p.

    Xia Wanyuan had been exercising carefully these few days, and her physical fitness was much better than when she had just arrived in the modern world. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan was angry, and this p was firm.

    ¡°You?!¡± Wang Ming¡¯s mother covered her face in disbelief. She could feel her face swelling and burning with pain.

    She stretched out her arm to retaliate, but Xia Wanyuan pped her on the other cheek.

    ¡°Are you trying to bully me?¡± Her husband did note today, but there were two people opposite her. She did not dare to fight back against Xia Wanyuan and the rest.

    ¡°My wife is still young, and you¡¯re dozens of years older than her. Why are you bickering with her?¡± Jun Shiling said coldly.

    Wang Ming¡¯s mother choked on her words*. Our son was the same age. What did he mean by I am dozens of years older than Xia Wanyuan?!*

    Even Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh when she heard Jun Shiling¡¯s words. She did not expect that Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth was so poisonous.

    ¡°I don¡¯t hit children. Since you didn¡¯t teach your child well, then take these two ps on his behalf.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. She couldn¡¯t bear to hit Xiao Bao, much less let others bully him.

    ¡°If anyone hits you next time, hit them back.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked up to Xiao Bao and taught him what was considered unfriendly by many people.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded. He had not fought back because he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would think he was a bad boy and not like him anymore if she found out about the fight.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao and left the kindergarten with Xia Wanyuan.

    Wang Ming¡¯s mother, who had been beaten up, was left holding hands with a puzzled Wang Ming.

    Wang Ming¡¯s mother was not a reckless person. When her son entered the school, she had already used her connections to investigate the more powerful family in her ss. The name of this child, Jun Yin, was unknown throughout the entire Beijing circle.

    That was also the reason why she dared to be so arrogant, even if it was her son who had caused the trouble first.

    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Xia Wanyuan carefully examined the wound on Xiao Bao¡¯s hand. Fortunately, the skin was not injured, but it was a little red.

    ¡°Mommy, do you not like me anymore?¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan carefully. In the past, when he had gotten into fights in school, Xia Wanyuan had scolded him for a long time.

    ¡°Of course not. I like you the most. Good boy.¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged Xiao Bao. ¡°The next time someone bullies you, you¡¯ll bully them back. Mommy will always be behind you.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao nodded vehemently.?<i>My Mommy is really too good!</i>

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao wriggled out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and looked at Jun Shiling fearfully.?<i>I had caused trouble again. Jun Shiling would definitely scold me.</i>

    ¡°Next time someone hits you,e back and tell me.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±?<i>Daddy didn¡¯t scold me! Daddy is so nice too!</i>

    After dinner, Xiao Bao went to bed early while Xia Wanyuan watched a drama downstairs.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam isn¡¯t feeling well.¡± Jun Shiling was busy when Uncle Wang knocked on the study door.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly went downstairs. On the sofa, Xia Wanyuan was holding her stomach, her face pale.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°My stomach hurts.¡± Her stomach hurt. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice trembled as she spoke. She must have eaten too much spicy food in the afternoon.

    Jun Shiling frowned. ¡°Why did you eat so much chili when I told you not to eat it for lunch?¡±

    Although Jun Shiling scolded Xia Wanyuan, his eyes were filled with worry.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu and ask him toe over.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Not long after, Shen Xiu rushed over with the box.

    There was a specialized pharmacy in the manor and all sorts of detection devices. Shen Xiu examined Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°It¡¯s acute gastroenteritis. I¡¯ll prescribe some medicine. Make sure not to eat anything stimting for the next few days.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling responded from the side, his worried gaze never leaving Xia Wanyuan.

    Taking advantage of the fact that he had just done a checkup on Xia Wanyuan, Shen Xiu secretly observed that this Madam Jun seemed to be the ¡®useless piece of trash¡¯ that Shen Xing had mentioned.

    Shen Xiu felt that his sister¡¯s short-sightedness had probably increased again. It was time to go to the ophthalmology department.

    After prescribing some medicine for Xia Wanyuan, Shen Xiu left the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan curled up on the sofa, her stomach still feeling terrible. Her delicate brows furrowed.

    Jun Shiling brought a cup of warm water for Xia Wanyuan and watched her drink the medicine.

    There was some calming element in the medicine, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach had been hurting for a while. Not long after drinking it, Xia Wanyuan fell into a deep sleep.

    Jun Shiling pulled a nket over and wanted to cover Xia Wanyuan with it.

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to have fallen into a nightmare as she mumbled something.

    Jun Shiling leaned closer and heard Xia Wanyuan call out, ¡°Mother Queen.¡±

 Chapter 93 - Sleeping Together

    <h4>Chapter 93: Sleeping Together</h4>

    Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan, his gaze deep and unreadable.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was pale, and her usually indifferent eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if something in her dream had made her uneasy.

    In her dream, Xia Wanyuan walked alone in the endless darkness. She could hear the shouts of countless soldiers, the exhortations of her young friends, and the overwhelming cries of her younger siblings after she left.

    As Xia Wanyuan walked down this path alone, she felt that she was the only one who hesitated.

    Suddenly, she felt as if sunlight was shining on her through the darkness. It was warm. Xia Wanyuan walked towards the sunlight in a daze. She stretched out her hand and touched its warmth, as if this warmth could dispel the coldness and darkness in her heart.

    Relying on this warmth, Xia Wanyuan fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind. There was no longer any darkness in her dream.

    Beside the sofa, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was holding his arm tightly with aplicated expression.

    He had just wanted to cover Xia Wanyuan with the nket when Xia Wanyuan hugged his arm. He moved slightly, and Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    He got someone to tidy up the bedroom. Xia Wanyuan was not feeling well and could not sleep with Jun Yin anymore.

    Xia Wanyuan was sound asleep. Jun Shiling carried her all the way to the bedroom, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s breathing was calm.

    After cing Xia Wanyuan carefully on the bed, Jun Shiling prepared to leave. However, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be extremely reliant on him. She kept holding his arm. If he did not wake Xia Wanyuan up, there was no way he could leave.

    He tried for a while but could not break free. After Xia Wanyuan fell ill, she became much weaker than before. She was hugging his arm as if she was hugging something she was very dependent on, which made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart soften.

    Taking off his shoes, socks, and jacket, Jun Shilingy down beside Xia Wanyuan.

    Sensing the approach of a warm source in her sleep, Xia Wanyuanpletely snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s body froze. The fragrance in his arms assailed his nostrils, carrying with it the milky scent of Xiao Bao. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair fell beside Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, looking soft and smooth.

    Like how she slept with Xiao Bao usually, Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling as if she was hugging Xiao Bao. The two of them were practically close.

    Jun Shiling pushed away the hair on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, revealing her straight nose. Her long eyshes were like two small fans.

    With the warm and soft gem in his arms, Jun Shiling felt as if his empty world was filled with Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shilingy quietly for a while, then carefully wrapped his left hand around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. He then gently pulled her in his direction, and Xia Wanyuan waspletely in his arms.

    Jun Shiling turned around and faced Xia Wanyuan. He ced his right hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back and patted her gently. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slightly furrowed brows slowly calmed under the gentlefort.

    A scorching warmth spread between the two of them. Jun Shiling rested his chin gently on the top of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

    When Xiao Bao woke up, he was as usual and did not see his parents. He thought that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had woken up early and were eating downstairs.

    Who would have thought that after going downstairs for a long time, he still could not find Xia Wanyuan?

 Chapter 94 - Han Yuan Gives Birth

    <h4>Chapter 94: Han Yuan Gives Birth</h4>

    ¡°Grandpa Wang, where did Mommy go?¡± Xiao Bao searched for a long time but could not find her, so he could onlye and look for Uncle Wang.

    ¡°Little Master, eat first. Young Master and Madam will be here soon.¡± Uncle Wang brought Xiao Bao to the dining table lovingly and prepared food for him.

    While Xiao Bao was not paying attention, Uncle Wang secretly nced at the bedroom door on the second floor. He had tidied up the bedroom yesterday and was waiting for Jun Shiling toe out to see if there was anything he needed to prepare.

    Unexpectedly, he waited outside for a long time and no one came out of the room. Uncle Wang then went to sleep with a face full of smiles.

    In the secondary bedroom, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes. After a night of rest, she felt that her stomach was much better.

    ncing at the ce where she was sleeping, Xia Wanyuan could smell Jun Shiling¡¯s scent beside her.

    Since Jun Shiling was the one who had carried her upstairs when she was sick, Xia Wanyuan did not have much of a reaction.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake? Go wash up and eat.¡±

    The bathroom door beside her was suddenly pushed open and Jun Shiling walked out.

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket and followed Jun Shiling downstairs.

    ¡°Mommy! Didn¡¯t you sleep with me yesterday?!¡± The little dumpling watched Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walk out of the secondary bedroom on the second floor and forgot to chew the meatball in his mouth.

    ¡°¡­¡­¡±

    Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s using gaze, Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep properly. Your mother is sick,¡± Jun Shiling said from the side.

    Upon hearing that Xia Wanyuan was sick, Xiao Bao hurriedly threw down his favorite meatball, ran towards Xia Wanyuan, and stuffed his little hand into her hands.

    ¡°Mommy, are you okay?¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes were filled with worry.

    ¡°I¡¯m alright now. Good boy.¡±

    During the meal, Xiao Bao poured water for Xia Wanyuan obediently and even gave his favorite snack to her.

    ¡°Hubby, why don¡¯t you go to work today? Hasn¡¯t thepany¡¯s funds arrived?¡±

    Normally, Xia Yuanqing would go to thepany as soon as the sun rose. It was almost 11 o¡¯clock today, and Han Yuan found it a little strange that Xia Yuanqing was still at home.

    ¡°Yuanyuan, I have something to tell you. Don¡¯t be angry.¡±

    Xia Yuanqing looked at Han Yuan¡¯s bulging stomach. He had originally nned to tell her about the shares transfer after her child was born, but Han Yuan had been too gentle and considerate recently.

    Xia Yuanqing felt that Han Yuan had be more reasonable than before. In any case, he had nothing to do now, so he could only stay at home. Since the matter would be exposed eventually, he might as well tell Han Yuan directly.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Han Yuan looked at thetest outfit and bag on her phone happily.

    ¡°Although Wanyuan agreed to inject funds, her condition is to transfer all my shares to her.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Han Yuan did not understand these things, but she could tell from Xia Yuanqing¡¯s tone that something was wrong. Hence, she put down her phone and looked at Xia Yuanqing in confusion.

    ¡°It means that thepany belongs to Wanyuan now.¡± Father Xia was angry and aggrieved. He looked at Han Yuan with fatigue in his eyes, hoping to receivefort from his wife.

    ¡°What?!¡± Han Yuan¡¯s sharp voice suddenly rose, giving Xia Yuanqing a shock.

    ¡°You useless piece of trash, didn¡¯t you say that thepany would be left for our son in the future?! You f*cking¡­¡±

    Han Yuan had a bad temper to begin with. After she had been pretending to be gentle and considerate for a long time, who would have thought that thepany would be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s?

    Han Yuan scolded Xia Yuanqing agitatedly. Xia Yuanqing had never seen Han Yuan like this before and was stunned.

    However, after cursing for a while, Han Yuan suddenly bent down and covered her stomach. ¡°Ouch.¡± Her face was covered in sweat from the pain.

    Xia Yuanqing hurried forward. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    A line of blood flowed out from between Han Yuan¡¯s legs.

 Chapter 95 - Xia Wanyuan has a Sugar Baby?

    <h4>Chapter 95: Xia Wanyuan has a Sugar Baby?</h4>

    ¡°Yuanyuan, let¡¯s go to the hospital!¡±

    Seeing the blood on Han Yuan, Xia Yuanqing¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that something would happen to the child.

    He quickly called the chauffeur to send Han Yuan to the hospital. After a long day, Han Yuan was finally pushed out of the delivery room.

    ¡°Congrattions, both mother and son are safe.¡± The nurse showed a little boy to Father Xia, who received him happily.

    Although Han Yuan had a bad temper and was not well-mannered, she was good-looking and interesting. Father Xia was much older than her and sometimes treated her like a daughter. Hence, he still had some feelings for her.

    Now that Han Yuan had given birth to his son, Xia Yuanqing was extremely happy. He quickly notified everyone he knew.

    Xia Wanyuan had also received a call from Xia Yuanqing. On the phone, Father Xia had wanted Xia Wanyuan to go home and visit her younger brother. Xia Wanyuan replied with an ¡®oh¡¯ and ignored Father Xia.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Father Xia wanted to use this opportunity to let her go back and talk about the Xia family¡¯spany. If it were someone else giving birth, she might really go and take a look. As for Han Yuan, forget it.

    Just as Xia Yuanqing hung up, Xia Yu called.

    ¡°Hello, Sister, I called you for a long time, why didn¡¯t you answer?¡± Xia Yu¡¯s clear voice sounded from the phone.

    ¡°I was just answering a call from Xia Yuanqing.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I heard. Didn¡¯t she give birth to a son?¡± Xia Yu pursed his lips hesitantly. ¡°Do you want to go back and visit him?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you going to visit your brother?¡± Xia Yu probed.

    ¡°I only have one younger brother. Isn¡¯t he in university?¡± Xia Yu¡¯s nature was pure and kind. Xia Wanyuan was only willing to treat him as a younger brother. As for Han Yuan, she didn¡¯t want to get involved in this mess.

    Besides, she had taken the Xia family¡¯s shares. Han Yuan probably wanted to swallow her whole. How could she let her be the child¡¯s sister?

    ¡°Oh, then go ahead.¡± Having obtained the answer he wanted, Xia Yu hung up the phone calmly.

    However, after the call ended, Xia Yu¡¯s face was full of smiles.?<i>Xia Wanyuan said that she only had one younger brother!!!</i>

    <i>Happy!</i>

    He was initially worried that Xia Wanyuan would have another younger brother and not treat him so well anymore, but now, Xia Yu waspletely happy.

    ¡°Hey, Xia Yu, why are youughing so foolishly alone?¡± Su Mei and the others entered the dormitory and saw Xia Yu¡¯s radiant face.

    ¡°Hmph, so what if I¡¯m happy? Go online, I¡¯ll bring you guys along!¡±

    ¡°You can have this.¡±

    Hence, when Xia Yu was happy, his opponent in the game was doomed. They werepletely suppressed.

    The production team was about to enter the publicity phase. The previous publicity video had been tabted by a datapany. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity had doubledpared to the others.

    Therefore, even though Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation on the Inte was poor, in this era where online traffic was king, she was still popr. Manypanies had a good opinion of the poprity of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s drama.

    The news naturally reached Ruan Yingyu¡¯s ears as well. ¡°Look, Xia Wanyuan has been in the limelight these few times. What if I¡¯m not as good as her when the dramaes out?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, thepany is already prepared. We¡¯ve bought a very juicy piece of news that will be released in two days.¡±

    Upon hearing her manager¡¯s words, Ruan Yingyu felt a little more at ease. However, she had a feeling that she had been very anxious recently.

    Ever since Xia Yu showed his face, his poprity had soared. In addition to his excellent skills, he was considered one of the best on the entire live-stream tform.

    Coupled with the high poprity on Weibost time, many people who did not watch the live broadcast had downloaded the Cat¡¯s Tooth Software to look at this big shot who defended the city alone. Instantly, the number of downloads for the Cat¡¯s Tooth Software increased.

    The tform naturally saw Xia Yu¡¯smercial value and kept rmending him on the homepage and promoting him in all kinds of packaging. The nickname ¡°National Brother¡± resounded throughout the live-stream tform.

    Xia Yu was also very hardworking. With the help of the tform, he became one of the top three popr streamers on the tform within a few days.

    The number of fans on Weibo had also increased to more than two million. Although the number of fans could notpare to Ruan Nian¡¯s, in terms of poprity, it had far surpassed Ruan Nian¡¯s.

    Boys also had strong mentality towardsparison. Furthermore, after Ruan Nian lost the previous PK, he felt that he had lost face.

    Therefore, he went to ask Ruan Yingyu to be his guest. When the tform saw that he had a celebrity to support him, they naturally agreed happily.

    Hence, the entire tform was promoting Ruan Yingyu¡¯s arrival. When Xia Yu started the broadcast that night, he felt that the number of viewers had decreased greatly, while Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream had already reached a few million viewers.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Ruan Yingyu.¡±

    In the live-stream, Ruan Yingyu greeted everyone sweetly. Those who could enter the entertainment industry and be tested by the cameras were all good-looking.

    Furthermore, there was a pretty face in the live-stream. Everyone felt that Ruan Yingyu was as sweet as a cotton candy, beautiful and soft at the same time.

    [Ahhh!!! Why is she so good-looking?]

    [ 666666666, beautiful, beautiful. ]

    [ Indeed, she¡¯s quite pretty. So Ruan Nian is Ruan Yingyu¡¯s younger brother? Can Ruan Yingyue to the live-stream often to y in the future? ]

    Thements were filled with praises for Ruan Yingyu. Since this was a live-stream of the game, Ruan Yingyu took a Cai Wenji and followed behind Ruan Nian. From time to time, she would help out, but her attention was focused on the live-stream and she maintained her perfect state.

    With Ruan Yingyu around, Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream became very popr very quickly. Soon, nearly a third of the audience on the entire tform was gathered in Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream.

    Everything was originally popr, but a fewments suddenly appeared in thements and attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    [ F*ck, what a shocking piece of news! Quick, check Weibo!! And Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream! ]

    [ Oh my god! Go to Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream! You¡¯lle back to thank me! ]

    [ So female celebrities like to y with young hunks. I wonder if Ruan Yingyu likes someone like me. Hehe, I want to rmend myself. ]

    [ I was shocked when I just finished eating melon seeds on Weibo. ]

    The messages on the bullet screen were too rich, and everyone swarmed into Weibo to eat melons.

    As expected, there was nock ofizens on such topics. The topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan kept a young male broadcaster¡± was pushed to third ce on the real-time trending list, and it was still rising.

    Under such a topic, there would never be ack of marketing ounts. However, most of theizens were engrossed in their gossip and did not notice that every time the entertainment industry gossip craze was exposed by these so-called ¡°real¡± marketing ounts.

    On Weibo, the hottest trending topic, there were a few photos that were very clear. One look and one could tell that it was a very young man. Although his arm was still bandaged, he was hugging the slender woman beside him.

    The angle of the photo was very good. It was as if the woman had ced her head on the youth¡¯s shoulder and the two of them were whispering.

    Although one could only see the woman¡¯s face, they could already recognize her.

    <h4>Chapter 96: Netizens Who Eat Popcorn</h4>

    [ Amazing. This Xia Wanyuan really knows how to y. ]

    [ Tsk tsk, why does this handsome young man look like he¡¯s underage? ]

    [ Damn, I want such a handsome little brother too. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t this man the broadcaster who was trending a few days ago? ]

    Someizens took a screenshot of Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream and posted it in thements. Everyone looked at it and realized that it was really the gaming broadcaster who had ¡®protected a city by himself¡¯ a few days ago.

    Netizens on Weibo flooded into Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream. In Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream, many people had snuck into Xia Yu¡¯s too.

    [ Wow, these eyshes, these hands, I love them. No wonder Xia Wanyuan took a fancy to them. ]

    [ I was wondering why a broadcaster who has only broadcasted for less than a month could be so popr. It turns out that someone is supporting him. ]

    [ Tsk, the host is so young and so good-looking. Why is he a little blind? ]

    [ Boohoo, Brother, can¡¯t we not earn this dirty money? Why are you with Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ Get rid of your fans. Bye. I really can¡¯t tell that the host is such a person. ]

    Xia Yu was very focused while ying the game, so he did not notice what was in thements.

    In the live-stream, asizens on Weibo, tforms, and other news apps entered, the poprity had already reached a rather high level.

    efore long, Xia Yu¡¯s poprity had reached the top of the King of Glory.

    On the Inte, thements had already exploded. Xia Yu, who was focused on ying games, waspletely unaware of this.

    Xia Yu¡¯s result was 12 kills. He had only died once, and his teammates knew that they had a big shot on their side.

    They could have destroyed the enemy¡¯s base in one go, but their teammates insisted on acting cool before victory. They went to the crystal on the other side one by one to give their lives.

    Seeing that all four of his teammates were dead, there were only ten drops of blood left in the opponent¡¯s base tower. It would copse after a light hit.

    At this critical moment, the people on the other side had all revived. They gathered and advanced triumphantly until they arrived at Xia Yu¡¯s crystal base.

    Seeing that they were about to lose, Xia Yu, who was jungling in the jungle, finally came back. His teammates chanted in their hearts, ¡°Boss, save the child.¡±

    Then, they watched as Xia Yu used the damage from the crystal and various fancy moves to show off four of his opponents. At that moment, his teammates revived and killed the remaining one.

    Coincidentally, his teammate stole Xia Yu¡¯s pentakill and hurriedly typed an apology.

    But no matter what, the game was won under Xia Yu¡¯s lead.

    Manyizens were stunned by this move.

    On the other hand, Xia Yu¡¯s level of 90 stars made everyone feel that his skills were top-notch. After all, there were many big shots above 50 stars in Glory.

    However, Xia Yu was able to turn the tables in a 90-star match. It was simply amazing. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but cheer for him.

    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s time. We¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow. Goodnight, everyone.¡±

    Xia Yu put down his phone and turned off the live-stream after speaking, leaving the dumbfounded audience behind.

    Meanwhile, the fans who were familiar with Xia Yu had already started to call him ¡®Heartless¡¯. After all, Xia Yu always went offline whenever he wanted to and did not give them any face. They were already used to it.

    The reason Xia Yu started the live-stream was because he couldn¡¯t stand Ruan Nian¡¯s behavior and wanted to snatch him audience. It made him feel terrible.

    Hence, he did not care much about his stats. A normal streamer would check how many gifts he had received and what the audience had told him after the episode ended.

    Xia Yu couldn¡¯t be bothered to do it. He was just thinking about how handsome his actions and achievements were when he was gaming.

    In the end, he concluded that he was really too handsome!

    Then, Xia Yu pulled open the bed curtain in satisfaction and met three pairs of bright eyes.

    ¡°What are you guys doing?¡±

    ¡°Xia Yu, didn¡¯t you see thements on the live-stream?¡± Su Mei felt that if Xia Yu saw thements on the live-stream, he would definitely explode. Looking at how calm it was now, he probably didn¡¯t see them.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t. Why?¡± Xia Yu looked confused as he stood up to get some water.

    ¡°Tell me honestly, are you very close to Xia Wanyuan?¡± Zhang Zhe pressed Xia Yu down and asked mysteriously.

    Seeing the gossip in their eyes, Xia Yu guessed that they knew he was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother.

    Xia Yu trusted his roommates quite a lot, so he didn¡¯t n to hide it from them anymore and nodded.

    However, the intimate rtionship that Xia Yu understood was clearly different from what Zhang Zhe said.

    Hearing Xia Yu admit it himself, the other three looked a little speechless.

    Especially Su Mei. He looked as if his goddess had been snatched away. In his eyes, there was even a hint of wanting to beat Xia Yu up.

    Zhang Zhe hesitated for a moment and carefully tried to say something, but he didn¡¯t dare to.

    Xia Yuughed at his hesitation. ¡°Zhang Zhe, can you stop acting like a little girl? Why? Do you have a crush on me?¡±

    ¡°F*ck, don¡¯t you have any shame!¡± Zhang Zhe shouted before his aura weakened again. He ran to the door and closed it tightly. Then, he snuck towards Xia Yu like an underground spy exchanging secrets.

    ¡°Brother, are you in a rtionship with Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°F*ck, who did you hear that from?!¡± Xia Yu was furious when he heard this.

    ¡°No, Brother. Didn¡¯t you know that the photos of you and Xia Wanyuan hugging were posted online?¡± Zhang Zhe looked at Xia Yu¡¯s huge reaction in confusion.?<i>Didn¡¯t he just admit that they were close? Why did it seem like that now?</i>

    Xia Yu turned on his phone and saw countlessments and private messages filling his Weibo. He clicked on the trending topic on Weibo and saw ¡®Xia Wanyuan kept a Young Broadcaster¡¯.

    When he clicked on it, he saw the photos from the hospital that day.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with them?¡± Xia Yu was furious at the overwhelming insults directed at Xia Wanyuan on the hot searches.

    Xia Yu closed the curtain again, leaving Su Mei and the other two outside looking at each other.

    After about ten minutes, there was no movement in Xia Yu¡¯s bed. The other three were worried that something would happen to Xia Yu.

    ¡°Brother, it¡¯s okay. We can understand. Isn¡¯t it just you liking an older girl?¡± Zhang Zhe tried to sound him out.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Xia Wanyuan is my goddess. She¡¯s such a beautiful fairy. It¡¯s not a loss to fall in love.¡±

    ¡°F*ck! Xia Wanyuan, that¡¯s my sister! Biological!¡± Xia Yu suddenly pulled open the bed curtain.

    His exquisite face was red from anger, and the fringe that was usually ced on his forehead was in a mess.

    ¡°Huh?!!¡±

    Like Xia Yu¡¯s roommates, theizens on Weibo were stunned when they saw Xia Yu¡¯s new Weibo post.

 Chapter 97 - Domineering Sister Protection

    <h4>Chapter 97: Domineering Sister Protection</h4>

    Xia Yu had buried himself in bed and deleted and edited this Weibo post for a long time. After much consideration, he finally wrote a rification post that he felt was satisfactory.

    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m very rich, thank you. Also, @ Xia Wanyuan, this is my sister, my biological sister. (To prevent you from continuing to nder my sister, I want to rify that the child who appeared in the previous live-stream was from my cousin¡¯s family.)¡±

    Then, Xia Yu attached two photos to the post.

    In the first picture, there was a ck card lying quietly. Other than the golden words ¡°INFINITE¡± in the middle of the card, there were no other signs or words.

    The second picture was a screenshot of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s usual WeChat conversation with Xia Yu. It was all about Xia Wanyuan asking him what he needed and reminding him to put on more clothes when the weather turned cold to prevent a cold.

    [ F*ck!! Is that the legendary top-notch ck card with an unlimited limit?!! Oh my god! I¡¯ve only seen this in novels! ]

    [ Forgive me, a poor person who has never seen the world. I secretly went to Baidu to search for the INFINITE ck Card. Alright, I¡¯m back on my knees now. ]

    [ Hasn¡¯t the Xia family gone bankrupt?? Why are you so rich? ]

    [ Wow, is Xiaoyu really Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother? From the looks of it, the two of them look a little simr. ]

    [ Really? I suspect that the child is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s child. Could it be that the Xia family went bankrupt and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sugar daddy gave the siblings money? ]

    [ I think it¡¯s time to update thetest news. The Xia family¡¯spany has returned strongly in the past two days, and its momentum has improved rapidly. I just bought their stocks. I hope it will increase this time. ]

    [ Am I the only one who thinks that Xia Wanyuan is so gentle to the broadcaster? I feel like she¡¯s a very patient sister¡­ ]

    Thisment that felt that Xia Wanyuan was very gentle received a lot of support.

    In the screenshot that Xia Yu had sent, Xia Wanyuan was still very concerned about him and sounded very patient.

    Before anyone could react to Xia Yu¡¯s post, he sent a second one. ¡°My sister is great. Those who don¡¯t like her don¡¯t have to watch my live-stream.¡±

    [666666]

    [¡­ You really think too highly of yourself. Who wants to see you? ]

    [ The person in front, if you¡¯re not willing to look, then leave. There are people who are willing to look. Xiaoyu, look at me. From now on, your sister is my sister!! We¡¯re a family! ]

    [ Tsk, if my brother is as good as half of the streamers, I¡¯ll be relieved. ]

    [ I¡¯m so jealous. Isn¡¯t Xiaoyu too protective of Xia Wanyuan? Boohoo. ]

    Not long after, Xia Yu posted his third Weibo post. ¡°Time will prove that my sister is the best sister in the world.¡±

    Initially, theizens were still discussing whether the child who appeared in Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. Now, they were stunned by Xia Yu¡¯s Weibo posts one after another.

    [ What a solid sisterplex. ]

    [ I¡¯m curious what Xia Wanyuan has fed the broadcaster to make him so protective of her. ]

    [ We don¡¯t know how celebrities behave in private either. Perhaps Xia Wanyuan is quite a good person in private. ]

    Haha, what kind of joke is this? Hasn¡¯t there been news of Xia Wanyuan being arrogant and despotic in private? ]

    The Cat¡¯s Tooth tform originally wanted to stop Xia Yu from posting on the Inte, but before they could, Xia Yu had already posted three consecutive posts, causing a hugemotion.

 Chapter 98 - Xia Wanyuans Live Stream?!

    <h4>Chapter 98: Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Live Stream?!</h4>

    When the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform saw the news of Xia Yu being kept, they were already prepared to give up on the good seedling Xia Yu. Who would have thought that the tables would turn and Xia Yu would be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother?

    Furthermore, after Xia Yu¡¯s three Weibo posts, his image as the ¡®national brother¡¯ in everyone¡¯s hearts had solidified. It was actually a good thing for him to gain fame.

    Seeing that the poprity of Weibo was getting higher and higher, the genius management of the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform thought of Ruan Yingyu helping Ruan Nian achieve excellent publicity, so he wanted to invite Xia Wanyuan to help Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream.

    Hence, as the most idle manager in history, Chen Yun gamed at home for half a month. After eating instant noodles for half a month, he weed the first order of the month.

    ¡°Live-stream?? Oh, okay, okay.¡±

    Chen Yun had been cooped up at home for more than half a month. After hanging up the phone call on the cat tooth tform, he reflected on his unprofessional nature as a manager.

    <i>When did Xia Wanyuan be so popr?! She actually got the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform to invite her as a guest.</i>

    After all, Cat¡¯s Tooth was the most popr live-streaming app in the country. Everyone who yed games would watch it. Being a guest here could increase one¡¯s fame.

    As a manager, Chen Yun had the authority to arrange the work of his artistes, so he had agreed on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s behalf.

    Both parties had agreed on a time tomorrow night. The Cat¡¯s Tooth tform seemed to be in a hurry. After discussing, the other party immediately transferred the deposit with great sincerity.

    Chen Yun was confused, but no matter what, Xia Wanyuan finally had a business activity. Hence, he happily called Xia Wanyuan.

    Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side seemed to have known about this long ago? She was not surprised at all. After Chen Yun instructed her about some things, he prepared to start the publicity work after the live broadcast.

    Before Chen Yun called, Xia Yu had already called Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was unfamiliar with live broadcasts, but she was willing to give it a try. Hence, she agreed readily and told Xia Yu toe to the manor for the live broadcast tomorrow.

    In the dormitory, Xia Yu went out to fetch water. As soon as he opened the door, he was carried to a chair by three burly men, which led to a three-pronged hearing.

    Actually, they had been misled by the news online just now. Now that they thought about it, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu¡¯s surnames were both Xia. Even if they were close, they should be siblings and not a couple.

    ¡°Brother.¡± Su Mei called him meaningfully.

    ¡°????¡± Xia Yu was confused.

    ¡°If I call you little brother, we¡¯ll be considered a family. Can my family get an autograph from Xia Wanyuan for me?¡± Su Mei looked at Xia Yu eagerly.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Xia Yu rolled his eyes.

    ¡°Wow, Xia Wanyuan is your sister. Then every time we eat snacks and that high-endputer, didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan buy them for us?!!¡± Su Mei suddenly eximed.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded.

    ¡°F*ck!!!! In my life, I actually ate snacks bought by my goddess! I drank drinks bought by my goddess! I used theputer my goddess bought for me! I can brag about it forever! I want to put away theputer properly. It won¡¯t be good if it¡¯s broken.¡±

    ¡°¡­..¡±

    Xia Yu was speechless at Su Mei¡¯s excitement.

 Chapter 99 - The Sister and Brother Stunning the Live Stream

    <h4>Chapter 99: The Sister and Brother Stunning the Live Stream</h4>

    The next morning, the trending topic of Xia Wanyuan and broadcaster Xiaoyu was still hanging on the rankings. Before the trending topic subsided, the tform had teamed up with Xiaoyu to post a piece of news.

    ¡°Tonight at seven o¡¯clock in the evening, in Cat Fang Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream, the siblings will join forces and swim in the canyon.

    [ Tsk, as expected. In the end, this is just a scene created by the siblings working together, right? ]

    [ Amazing. First, she released fake news and made everyone think that they were a couple. Then, she came out to rify things herself. In the end, the siblings earned a lot of attention. Amazing. ]

    [ Did you live in a conspiracy your whole life? Can you think like a normal person? ]

    [ Our Xiaoyu was the one who was secretly photographed, alright? Why are you making it seem like it was Xiaoyu¡¯s fault? ]

    [ Alright, I¡¯ll be waiting for you guys in the live-stream tonight. ]

    At night, when it was almost seven o¡¯clock, the live-stream was already filled with viewers who hade to watch the drama.

    [ Where is she? Brother, the door is open. ]

    [ What¡¯s the situation with so many people today? ]

    [ Come on,e on. Why isn¡¯t the broadcast starting yet? ]

    [The neighbouring Ruan Yingyu and the rest have already started their live-stream. Can you hurry up? If you don¡¯t start, I¡¯ll go over and watch Ruan Yingyu. ]

    Initially, Ruan Yingyu had agreed to be a guest for the day. Hence, her live-stream with Ruan Nian was very effective. Not only was Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream very popr, but she also gained a lot of fans even though Xia Yu suppressed herter on.

    To celebrities in the entertainment industry, the majority of their fans were female. Through gaming live-streams, Ruan Yingyu had gained a lot of male fans, which was beneficial for her.

    In addition, Ruan Yingyu knew that Xia Wanyuan was going to do a live broadcast with Xia Yu today, so she was naturally unwilling to let them have the limelight alone. Hence, she took the initiative to discuss with the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform for another night.

    The tform was naturally happy to attract more viewers to make money. What was even more subtle was that Xia Wanyuan and Ruan Yingyu were both actresses in the same drama. In the drama, they were always in a fight, let alone outside the drama.

    The tform was very happy to see such a sh between controversial celebrities because it would bring a lot of traffic.

    The first second after the news broadcast rang at seven o¡¯clock, Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream opened.

    However, as there were too many people online at the same time, Cat¡¯s Tooth¡¯s server could not take it anymore and copsed. In the live-stream room, only the buffering icon kept spinning.

    [ I¡¯m so pissed off. Can you stop this lousy server? ]

    [ Faster, faster! ]

    [ Hurry up and sacrifice a programmer to the heavens first. ]

    The Cat¡¯s Tooth tform was quickly maintained. While everyone was cursing, the live-stream was suddenly done.

    Caught off guard, the entire camera was printed on the live-stream.

    [ F*ck! ]

    [ F*ck! ]

    [!!!!!!!!!!]

    Thementssted for two seconds. Everyone was amazed.

    The reason was simple. Under the high-definition camera, the two faces in the live-stream were too impactful.

    Because Xia Yu usually broadcasted live, he always hid the camera in a small corner of the screen because he thought it would block the game screen. Hence, everyone knew that he was handsome, but they didn¡¯t know that he would look so good when the entire scene was magnified.

    Xia Yu was wearing a simple white T-shirt with a cat¡¯s paw printed on the front. His fringe was resting on his forehead gently, and his fair and exquisite face was filled with youthful vigor. The ends of his eyes were slightly raised, giving him the arrogance of a young man.

    Normally, the audience in the broadcast room knew that Xia Yu was good-looking, so they were only more amazed now. As for Xia Wanyuan, who was beside Xia Yu, everyone could only describe her as earth-shattering.

    After all, in recent days, Xia Wanyuan had only be more popr on the Inte, and she had always been criticized. Everyone¡¯s impression of her was still that she looked arrogant in bold and revealing fashion.

    The promotional film released by the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± was only popr among fans of the original novel and actors, so many passers-by had never watched it.

    Meanwhile, the Xia Wanyuan in the camera was wearing light makeup. Her eyebrows were like the mountains, her skin was as white as snow, and her teeth were like pearls. Especially her pair of snow-white eyes, which made Xia Wanyuan look extremely cold.

    However, it was not the overwhelming coldness that pierced one¡¯s bones in the cold winter months. Instead, it was the white plums that appeared under the warm sunlight at the beginning of spring. They were faint and emitted a fragrance.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. My sister is ying games with me today,¡± Xia Yu¡¯s clear voice sounded in the live-stream, causing the hearts of the sisters in the live-stream to tremble.

    ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan followed Xia Yu and faced the camera. She greeted everyone with a sweet smile and beautiful eyes.

    [¡­ So handsome, so beautiful. ]

    [ I finally understand the fact that I¡¯m actually a dog who goes for looks¡­ ]

    [ Oh my god, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen Xia Wanyuan look so good. ]

    [ For a moment, I don¡¯t know if I should be envious of Xia Wanyuan for having such a cute younger brother or if I should be envious of broadcaster Xiaoyu for having such a beautiful sister. ]

    [ Good gracious, with their looks, I can tell that they¡¯re family. ]

    Because Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu¡¯s appearances were too striking, the fake reviewers that the Cat Tooth tform had gathered to fend off the haters didn¡¯te in handy.

    Compared to Xia Yu, Ruan Nian¡¯sments were less friendly.

    After all, there was always pain inparison. After seeing Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu, and then Ruan Nian and Ruan Yingyu, no one was interested in them at all.

    Instantly, thements flew up and more than half of the people in Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream left.

    ¡°Let¡¯s y games for a while. We can arrange some interactions for everyer,¡± Xia Yu said as he adjusted the camera and projected the game screen into the live-stream.

    [ Don¡¯t! Show me your face!! Just sit there and I¡¯ll watch it for the whole night! ]

    [ I second that. ]

    [ I agree. Someone, get on the camera. ]

    However, no matter how thements screamed, Xia Yu and Xia Wanyuan had already started ying games.

    Xia Wanyuan had been in Jun Shiling¡¯s hands for a few days and was already at King Level 3 now. However, Xia Yu¡¯s ount number was still too high, so Xia Yu borrowed a low-star ount to y with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Yu¡¯s skills were obvious to all. To him, such a low-status game was like a ughterhouse. Hence, when many people saw Xia Yu start the game, they prepared to watch other live-streams for a while beforeing.

    After all, there was no suspense in the oue of the game.

    Who would have thought that when it came to choosing heroes, Xia Wanyuan, who was on the first floor, instantly locked onto a difficult jungler hero, Luna?

    In Mobile Legend, Luna¡¯s skills were very simple, but she was the most difficult hero to control. Many Kings of Glory didn¡¯t dare to say that they could y with her.

    At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing.

 Chapter 100 - Brother Slaps Face

    <h4>Chapter 100: Brother ps Face</h4>

    [ Luna? Is she that wild? ]

    [ Does Xia Wanyuan know how to y with Luna? I can¡¯t believe it. ]

    [ Let¡¯s y to the gallery. I don¡¯t even dare to y Luna when I¡¯m a King with 20 stars. ]

    [ How dare the King in front talk with 20 stars? ]

    [ I¡¯m better than you anyway. ]

    That was what happened in the live-stream. Thements would start fighting at any moment.

    ¡°Sister, you know how to y with Luna?¡± Xia Yu was already shocked enough when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount being called King. Now, Xia Wanyuan was even ying with Luna.

    ¡°I don¡¯t. Didn¡¯t you just tell me to y whatever I want?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan speechlessly. In the live-stream, everyone heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words andughed at Xia Yu for shooting himself in the foot.

    ¡°If you¡¯re so lousy, they¡¯ll scold you if you screw up your teammatester.¡± Xia Yu pursed his lips in disdain but continued, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll follow you with a support.¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s ying style was ruthless and his hand speed was fast. He usually yed as a jungler hero. This was the first time in a long time that everyone had heard Xia Yu say that he wanted to y a support hero.

    [ I¡¯m so sour. It¡¯s from Mua. ]

    [ Little brother, y support for Xia Wanyuan. Oh my god! ]

    [Let¡¯s sit high up on the lemon tree<del>?Watch brother y support for Xia Wanyuan</del>~]

    [ Let me tell you something, the person in front. I sang it out loud. ]

    A support could not take a kill or deal damage, but his position in the team was still very important. Besides, in Mobile Legend, there were many skilful support teams.

    Many of the viewers in thements were also ying support. Now that Xia Yu was preparing to y support, they were all looking forward to learning from Xia Yu the elusive Gui Guzi. Either they learned from Master Lu Ban, who had an unrivaled rhythm, or they learned from Xia Yu the Bull Demon, who could dodge the attacks with one move.

    Everyone was focused and ready to memorize the details of the game.

    Xia Yu chose Cai Wenji, who was also Ruan Yingyu¡¯s support hero, that she was ying now.

    In Mobile Legends, because she had the ability to heal her teammates, coupled with her cute appearance, Cai Wenji was called ¡°Nanny¡±.

    In the live-stream, the little loli with her hair tied up into a bun was sitting on the power music chair. She was swinging her tiny feet and calling out cutely, ¡°Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, one twist and one turn. I¡¯m also into a loli lover. Chirp chirp chirp chirp ~ ~ ~¡±

    [¡­¡­¡­..]

    [??????????]

    [ I¡¯ve already prepared myptop for notes. Why are you showing me this? ]

    [ Oh my god, I actually saw my younger brother y with the nanny in my life. Ahhhhhh, this is my hero!!!! ]

    [ I¡¯m so jealous!! My younger brother, an all-rounded jungler, actually yed support for Xia Wanyuan and even used nanny. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, little god! ]

    [ Little Brother is the first person who says one thing but means another. As he talks about his sister¡¯s food, he even ys nanny to help her. Boohoo, I¡¯m so sour. I¡¯ve already eaten up Lemon Mountain. ]

    Xia Wanyuan also saw the hero Xia Yu had chosen and looked at Xia Yu¡¯s phone screen with a smile. ¡°She¡¯s quite cute.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Yu did not think much of it. He used Cai Wenji purely because he felt that if Xia Wanyuan was surrounded and beaten upter, he could at least heal her and not die too quickly.

    So the game began. The heroic Luna led the cute little nanny who sang all the way into the jungle.

    When Jun Shiling gave her the ount number, he was also a jungler. Hence, Xia Wanyuan watched it a few times and imitated him. It went pretty smoothly.

    However, it was different when it came to team battles. After all, Xia Wanyuan had nevere into contact with this hero. In addition, Luna¡¯s control requirements were high. Every time they encountered a team battle, Xia Wanyuan would rush in and die.

    Xia Yu¡¯s Cai Wenji had already reached her limit. Every time, he would follow Xia Wanyuan closely and continuously heal her. However, the other party¡¯s attacks were too fierce, and the rate at which he healed could not keep up with the rate at which her health was depleting.

    After several team battles like this, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s score was 0-4.

    [ Tsk, what a scam. Is it really good to scam your teammates like this? ]

    [ At first, I thought Xia Wanyuan was quite amazing as a king. I guess Xia Yu was the one who appointed her as a king. Damn, it¡¯s good to have a big boss¡¯s younger brother. ]

    Not only were thements mocking her, but after four consecutive deaths, her opponents and teammates in the game also began to mock Xia Wanyuan.

    Her teammate: ¡°If Luna doesn¡¯t know how to y, then don¡¯t. That¡¯s too much!¡±

    Her opponent: ¡°Sister Luna is so nice. You came all the way here to give me your head. Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s switch phones. Watch how I operate it.¡± Xia Yu handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had only juste into contact with this hero and did not understand the mechanisms of heroes. In fact, when she yed other heroes, she could y them very quickly.

    Hence, she did not consider the issue of face and exchanged phones with Xia Yu.

    In the game, the other party was very arrogant after killing Luna a few times in a row. He even shouted for Luna to deliver their heads.

    [ The other party doesn¡¯t know what is happening. ]

    [ Before they knew it, Luna had alreadypleted her evolution from level 0 to level 100. ]

    [ Hahahahahaha, let meugh first. Light three candles for the other party in advance. ]

    [ Awaken! Sleeping God of Gla Darkness! ]

    In the live broadcast, the five enemies were fighting wild boars in the wilderness. Then, they saw Luna, who they had pressed to the ground and killed four times, walk over.

    ¡°The head is here!¡± The five enemies were overjoyed.

    ¡°Sending again.¡± His teammate wanted to cry.

    Seeing that Luna was about to use her skill, the enemy hurriedly activated his own skill.

    ¡°Huh?¡± It seemed a little strange that Luna hadn¡¯t died after a short exchange.

    Before they could react, Luna had already filled the entire jungle with moonlight.

    Then Luna floated around on the map on the traces of moonlight. She was unrestrained and unstoppable, like the Goddess of the Moon, dancing gracefully in the Kingdom of the Moon.

    His teammates had originally wanted to see how Luna would court death, but instead, they saw a miraculous dance.

    This scene was beautiful in the eyes of his teammates, but in the eyes of the enemy.

    The warrior holding the longsword that was shining with moonlight floated past their bodies like a ghost. Then, their screen turned ck.

    ¡°Luna haspleted the fifth kill!!!!¡±

    Thements section was filled with 666ments.

    As Xia Wanyuan memorized the methods, she watched Xia Yu unt his moves. With a flick of his fingers, Xia Yu had already wiped out all five opponents single-handedly.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and praised Xia Yu. ¡°Well yed.¡±

    Then, Xia Yu¡¯s face flushed red at an observable speed.

 Chapter 101 - Xia Wanyuan Flaunt her Moves

    <h4>Chapter 101: Xia Wanyuan unt her Moves</h4>

    [ Brother is blushing! ]

    [ Oh my god, little brother is shy. He¡¯s so cute. ]

    [ Why is her younger brother so good at games? He¡¯s handsome and so cute! ]

    [ The person in front, stop talking. I just pulled my brother out and beat him up. ]

    Xia Yu had rarely received praise since he was young. Everyone looked at him differently with three types of gazes.

    The first type was like Mother Xia and Han Yuan, who treated him as a thorn in their side. They wished he would disappear as soon as possible and not snatch the Xia family¡¯s property from their children.

    The other type was the uncles and aunties in the Xia family who had watched him grow up. They looked at him with pity and pity.

    There was also a look of disdain that wasmonly added to him by the outside world, as if he was a useless young master who ate, drank, and yed.

    Hence, Xia Yu was especially embarrassed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise. He blushed and shifted his gaze unnaturally. ¡°I¡¯m alright. I¡¯m only a little stronger than you. After all, I¡¯ve never seen anyone weaker than you.¡±

    Although he was shy, Xia Yu¡¯s mouth was still unforgiving.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu in amusement. ¡°Finish this quickly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Because Xia Yu was busy talking to Xia Wanyuan, he did not notice that his teammates had been wiped out after a fight.

    Only a carefree Luna and a helpless Cai Wenji were left.

    The enemy was still a little afraid of Xia Yu¡¯s heroic feat of fighting five people alone and walked towards the base hesitantly.

    Unexpectedly, while they were hesitating about whether to look for Xia Yu, Xia Yu had alreadye forward.

    Five secondster.

    ¡°Luna haspleted the fifth kill!!!!¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­.

    His teammate had already forgotten how he had mocked Luna just now. He was calling her God more happily than anyone else.

    [ One more round. I haven¡¯t seen enough. ]

    [ Wow, I still want to see my younger brother y Luna. He¡¯s too handsome. ]

    [ Luna can fight five people in younger brother¡¯s hands, but in mine, it¡¯s five hitting me. ]

    [ The person in front is too realistic. Why is the difference between people so huge? ]

    ¡°I said I wanted to y support for my sister.¡± Xia Yu saw thements in the live-stream but still returned the phone to Xia Wanyuan.

    After watching Xia Yu fight just now, Xia Wanyuan had roughly figured out the technique and mechanism of this hero.

    Taking the phone, Xia Wanyuan still chose Luna, who had just humiliated her.

    Meanwhile, Xia Yu still took the cute nanny.

    Everyone watched happily. They felt that Xia Yu would have to help Xia Wanyuan as she would not know how to y.

    However, they did not expect that after the first team battle erupted, Xia Wanyuan would control Luna to float back and forth three times before dying.

    Although she did not get the head, it was obvious that she was much better than her reckless actions.

    In the following team battles, everyone saw Xia Wanyuan grow at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. By the twelfth minute of the game, Xia Wanyuan could already imitate thirty to forty percent of what Xia Yu had just done.

    Everyone was stunned when they saw Luna, who had been slow and sluggish thest time, starting to show off her skills.

    [ No, does gaming get passed down in family genes? ]

    [ I¡¯m shocked. Isn¡¯t this improvement a little too fast? ]

    [ That¡¯s pretty amazing. If you practice more, it won¡¯t be a problem for you to win a provincial Luna. ]

    With the announcement of ¡°victory¡±, the ridicule directed at Xia Wanyuan lessened. Thements also began to spam 666.

    However, at that moment, arge group of organized and disciplined alternate ounts began to appear in the live-stream, filling the maliciousments.

 Chapter 102 - Master Jun Generously Pays a Million Dollars

    <h4>Chapter 102: Master Jun Generously Pays a Million Dors</h4>

    [ Trash ]

    [ She¡¯s acting like a big shot and her acting skills are bad. ]

    [ She¡¯s acting like a big shot and her acting skills are bad. ]

    The live-stream that had just been very normal suddenly had many simrments. Furthermore, because there were many alternate ounts that sent thements, the management of the live-stream could not stop thesements even if he wanted to.

    Many viewers would have the habit of opening theirments when watching a live broadcast. Now, thesements hadpletely disrupted everyone¡¯s impression, so many people withdrew from the live-stream.

    Anyway, there was another group of celebrity siblings who they could watch next door, so there was no need to watch these annoyingments here.

    Ruan Nian looked at the rising poprity of the live-stream and was relieved.

    Many viewers were attracted by the gimmick of the celebrity siblings ying together, but Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu¡¯s appearances were too outstanding just now. The difference was too great, and everyone could not ept it.

    Unlike Xia Yu who yed Cai Wenji for protection, Ruan Nian killed everyone in the live-stream with an assassin. Ruan Yingyu tried her best to heal Ruan Nian with Cai Wenji but to no avail. She often died in the hands of the enemy because Ruan Nian betrayed her.

    [ Emmmm, they must be stic siblings. ]

    [ After seeing you guys, I suddenly feel that Xiaoyu is really quite good. ]

    [ Tsk, your younger brother really sold his sister without any hesitation. ]

    Seeing that thements in the live-stream were getting more and more amiss, Ruan Nian turned on the live-stream lucky draw and set up a 1000 dors lucky draw every ten minutes. The doubts in thements were immediately covered up by thements.

    In Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream, arge number of alternate ounts were stillmenting maliciously. As Xia Yu and Xia Wanyuan were extremely serious gamers, they did not realize that many people had left the live-stream and thements were chaotic and unsightly.

    Chen Yun watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast at home and was extremely anxious.?<i>It was rare for her to have a business activity, so how did this happen?</i>

    While he was panicking, Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream suddenly exploded with shooting stars.

    In order to attract fans to reward the broadcaster, the live-stream tform had set up many gifts with special effects. The more gorgeous the special effects, the more valuable the gifts were.

    The Cat¡¯s Tooth tform had a gift setting of as much as one hundred thousand dors.

    This meteor shower was the legendary ¡°Myriad Star¡± gift special effect that cost 100,000 dors.

    ¡°The user Ling has gifted the broadcaster, Xiaoyu, ¡°Myriad of Stars¡±. Everyone, quicklye to the live-stream to dig for treasures.¡±

    [ F*ck, what a rich person. ]

    [ Amazing. Which rich person is starting to spend money again? ]

    [ Tsk, tsk, tsk. A hundred thousand dors is gone after this rain. ]

    An expensive gift naturally had its own status. Once the gift ¡°Myriad of Stars¡± was rewarded to the broadcaster, the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform would post a link to this broadcaster¡¯s live-stream in all the live-streams on the tform.

    Hence, many people¡¯s attention was attracted.

    ¡°Come, let¡¯s prepare for the lucky draw.¡± When the meteor shower finally passed, Ruan Nian¡¯s face was stiff as he prepared to draw for the fans in the live-stream.

    ¡°The user Ling has rewarded the broadcaster, Xiaoyu, with a myriad of stars. Everyone,e and dig for treasure!¡±

    A luxurious and gorgeous meteor shower floated past again.

    [NB]

    [ How rich. ]

    [ I¡¯m just not going to that live-stream. I just want to see how many more this rich person will spam today. ]

    [ The life of a rich person is indeed so monotonous. If you have nothing to do, show yourself a meteor shower that costs 100,000 dors. I want to have such pure happiness too. ]

    Before anyone could finish typing¡­

    [¡­¡­¡­]

    [ Is he that rich? 300,000 dors is gone in such a short time. ]

    [ Tycoon NB, can¡¯t I take back my words? I¡¯ll roll over and see which god is so amazing. ]

    In the past, there were also rich fans who would give gifts like Myriad of Stars to promote the streamer they liked. However, that was only once or twice, but it could still cause a sensation on the tform.

    It was the first time everyone had seen a rich person press Myriad of Stars thrice in a minute. Hence, many people were attracted to Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream.

    When they entered the live-stream, they were first shocked by Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu¡¯s appearances. They confirmed a few times that this was a gaming live-stream and not a Star Show live-stream.

    They then looked at the hero the two of them were ying. Xia Wanyuan, who looked like a fairy, was actually ying with Luna, who was extremely difficult to operate. The arrogant and sunny youth was actually ying with the cute nanny who had been spinning in circles.

    It had to be said that this contrast was very attractive to the audience, especially when everyone realized that Luna¡¯s maneuvering was outstanding.

    After two or three rounds of tempering, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s learning ability was already very strong. Now, she could already fly around on the map gracefully.

    After a round of games, the results of 12-0-8 made countless people cheer.

    The special effects that had stopped for a while lit up again.

    Everyone was already numb to the special effects of the gift. They just wanted to see when this rich person would stop eating lemons so easily.

    ¡°Daddy, when can we stop?¡±

    In the study on the second floor of the manor, Xiao Bao was ying with his toys with a bitter expression on his face. Every once in a while, he would click on the left button of the mouse while Jun Shiling sat and edited the documents Lin Jing had sent him.

    However, Xiao Bao actually did not know what was on theputer. Considering Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling stopped the mouse on the gift icon, then turned the back of theputer to Xiao Bao and gave the mouse to him, asking him to click on it every once in a while.

    Xiao Bao, who was ying Ultraman, was extremely unwilling, but under Jun Shiling¡¯s influence, he epted this glorious and difficult task.

    Jun Shiling put down the documents and sat in front of theputer, looking at the situation in the live-stream.

    Then, he looked speechlessly at Xiao Bao, who was ying with the Ultras on the ground.

    <i>This prodigal son.</i>

    Jun Shiling had instructed Xiao Bao to click on it every once in a while. He would send a gift every ten to twenty minutes.

    However, it was obvious that Xiao Bao¡¯s understanding was different from Jun Shiling¡¯s.

    Theputer screen showed that in just half an hour, Xiao Bao had sent out fifty Myriad of Stars.

    The total value was five million dors.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xiao Bao looked up from the toy, his big ck grape-like eyes showing obvious adoration. ¡°Daddy, my hand hurts. Huhu¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Stop ying. Go and do the homework the teacher assigned.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby face fell.?<i>Boohoo, when will Mommy be done? Daddy is so fierce. He made me click on the mouse for a long time but he didn¡¯t blow on it.</i>

    In the live-stream, everyone waited for the nouveau riche to farm Starry Sky for the tenth time. They thought to themselves,?<i>¡®It¡¯s time to stop. One million dors, Brother.¡¯</i>

    It didn¡¯t stop.

    The second ten times.

    No!

    The third set of ten times.

    The fourth ten times.

    The fifth ten times.

    Later on, everyone had already turned into ice sculptures as they watched the rich gamers¡¯ game.

    When the fiftieth meteor shower ended, everyone was still in a daze. Five minutester, after confirming that this big shot was no longer spamming gifts, everyone finally startedmenting.

    [ My eyes hurt. It¡¯s raining cats and dogs. My eyes are filled with golden flowers. ]

    [ I originally wanted toe and eat melon seeds, but I didn¡¯t expect the rich guy to smash a melon field for me. ]

    [ Is this the power of a big shot???? I really don¡¯t understand the world of the rich. ]

    [ That¡¯s too amazing. I¡¯m stunned. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen 50 meteor showers together in my life. How rich is he? ]

    [ I just wanted to ask if this big shot still needs a leg essory? The kind that can eat, sleep, and not work. ]

    Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu naturally saw the endless meteor shower. One look and they knew that Jun Shiling had painted the eye-catching ¡®Ling¡¯ character.

    Xia Yu was touched by Jun Shiling. He didn¡¯t expect Jun Shiling to support his live-stream so much.

    Hence, Jun Shiling unintentionally made a good impression on Xia Yu.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know the rules of the live-stream tform. She only saw that Jun Shiling had given her a gift, but she didn¡¯t know how much it was worth. Hence, she appeared especially calm.

    [ Seeing how calm the broadcaster and Xia Wanyuan are, I knew I was a bumpkin. ]

    [ Wait for me, bumpkin in front. I¡¯m your brother¡¯s vegetable bun. ]

    [ Bring me along, the person in front. I¡¯m a poor bun. ]

    [ Other fans have spent so much money, but these two don¡¯t even have a word of thanks? How can they be streamers? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream next door even sponsored the lucky draw himself. The fans here rewarded the broadcaster so many gifts, but the broadcaster actually looks like he¡¯s not rted. ]

    Some unknown alternate ounts startedmenting on thements, while Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu were indeed too calm.

    Everyone began to criticize Xia Yu.

    Because the gift that Jun Shiling had given him was too valuable, he directly became the emperor of the entire live-stream.

    The rule of the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform was that when the emperor spoke, the entire screen was silent.

    Hence, everyone could not send out thements that were fighting for justice for the big shots.

    In the entire live-stream, only thements ¡°No need to thank¡± posted by Ling floated on it.

    ¡­¡­¡­.

    Everyone was speechless.?<i>If the big boss didn¡¯t care, why were we rushing to join in the fun?</i>

    In Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream next door, the poprity that had been brought up by the lucky draw was immediately brought over by the endless stream of Myriad of Stars in Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream.

    He originally wanted to wait for the special effects of the gift to pass, but who would have thought that this wait would take more than half an hour?

    Looking at the stars one after another, Ruan Yingyu was extremely jealous.?<i>How could I be suppressed by Xia Wanyuan!?</i>

    Ruan Yingyu finally suppressed her anger. When the gift effects next door stopped, she looked at the extremely popr person next door and came up with an idea.

    ¡°Everyone is tired from ying the game for so long. Let me sing a song for everyone.¡±

    Ruan Yingyu put down her phone and adjusted the sound card. She chose a song she had posted in the past and hummed it softly.

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s voice was sweet and beautiful. Together with the sound effects of the sound card, it was indeed very pleasant to listen to. Many people rushed in when they heard the news.

    At that moment, in Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream, many fans saw Ruan Yingyu singing next door and encouraged Xia Yu and Xia Wanyuan to show off their talents.

 Chapter 104 - The Princess Song Shocks the World

    <h4>Chapter 104: The Princess¡¯ Song Shocks the World</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s perform for everyone at the end.¡±

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t prepare anything. She wanted toe to Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream to guest star in it, but Chen Yun kept telling her that it was not easy for her to have a chance to show her face, so she had to perform well.

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s talent ¡­ Emmmm]

    [ To be honest, I¡¯ve been traumatized by that song of hers ever since she sang that song at the g. ]

    [ I feel likeughing. What does Xia Wanyuan want to do? Sing? ]

    Xia Wanyuan left the camera, and not long after, she returned to the live-stream.

    ¡°The drama ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ is about to meet everyone. I¡¯m ying a role with a very long story inside. Let me sing a character song for everyone.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan stood up and sat in front of the cloth-covered frame by the window.

    The audience in the live-stream was very puzzled. It was just a song. What is she doing? (italics)

    Many people were spamming question marks in the live-stream.

    Chen Yun, who was also watching the live broadcast at home and observing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements, felt worried.

    Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, please don¡¯t cause trouble, Ancestor Xia. (italics)

    He had been in charge of Xia Wanyuan for a long time. If Xia Wanyuan had any talent, he would not have to worry about her idling at home every day.

    While everyone in the live-stream was feeling restless, Xia Wanyuan removed the silk cloth covering the shelf in front of her.

    A zither that seemed to be filled with a sense of historical sediment shone faintly.

    [ What is this?? ]

    [ Guzheng? ]

    [ Guzheng doesn¡¯t look like this, right? This one looks pretty good too. ]

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m shocked. This looks like Feng Xiqin! ]

    [ I¡¯m a bumpkin in front. What is Feng Xiqin? ]

    [ I¡¯m also a bumpkin in front, but I know a little. Feng Xiqin is said to be a centuries-old zither that has been lost on the market for a long time. I wonder if the one in front of Xia Wanyuan is the one. If it¡¯s Feng Xiqin, it would be amazing. ]

    There were still some professionals in thements. They were right. The one in front of Xia Wanyuan was the legendary Feng Xiqin.

    ording to the historical records, a few hundred years ago, the famous master of musical instruments, Lin Qian, had a daydream by the waters of Phoenix Mountain Creek. In his dream, he had a hundred birds worshipping the phoenix, and immortal music pierced the sky. After he woke up from his dream, an ancient tree appeared beside the master. It was the best material to make a top-grade ancient zither.

    Master Lin Qian had gained inspiration from his dream and created this top-notch ancient zither. However, ording to the legends, when Master Lin Qian passed away in meditation, he had ced this ancient zither beside him. Hundreds of birds came to pay their respects. In the end, the hundred birds brought the Feng Xiqin back to Mount Fengxi. From then on, this ancient zither of the ages had never appeared in the future.

    The reason why thements could recognize the zither was mainly because the Feng Xiqin had extremely obvious characteristics.

    In the camera, the zither in front of Xia Wanyuan was full in shape and had a ck face. There was a jade emblem, a jade zither, a jade foot, a round dragon pool, and a rectangr shape of a phoenix swamp. On the head of the zither, the two words ¡°Feng Xi¡± were written in green. On the left and right of the dragon pool, there was an engraving of Li Shuming: ¡°Its voice thick and manly, its charm and its impetus¡±.

    It really matched the Feng Xiqin recorded in the history books.

    However, they could not believe that they could see Feng Xiqin, whom their teachers had wanted to see but had never seen in their lives, just by watching a gaming live broadcast.

    Ignoring thements, Xia Wanyuan raised her hand and ced it on the zither strings, ying it softly.

    A deep clear sound spread from the zither string, as if it startled the soul voice that had been sleeping for a thousand years. This sound was as if the ancient zither was recounting its thousand years of longevity. An ancient ink painting unfolded in front of everyone.

    [ AHHHH!!! I learned Guzheng!! Just one sound of this zither gives me goosebumps!! This must be the legendary Feng Xiqin! ]

    [ Such a NB zither must be very expensive. Xia Wanyuan is also rich, but it¡¯s a pity that she ruined this ancient zither. ]

    [ The person in front, you¡¯re speaking a little too early. From the way Xia Wanyuan raised her hand just now, she really doesn¡¯t look like she hasn¡¯t practiced the ancient zither. ]

    [ As a lover of the ancient zither, I just want to touch the legendary Feng Xiqin. Boohoo, she has a cute younger brother and Feng Xiqin. I¡¯m so sour. How can the difference between people be so huge? ]

    In the study, Jun Shiling, who had already left theputer table to continue reviewing documents, heard the melodious sound of the zither and returned to theputer.

    After Xia Wanyuan gently fiddled with it a few times, it was as if she had already adapted to the sound of the ancient zither. Her ten fingers fiddled with it, and a melody that was like spring water spilled out from her fingertips.

    The pan-sound was like the sound of nature, cold and immortal. The lingering charm under her fingers was subtle and long. Sometimes, it was like humannguage, and it could be used to converse. Sometimes, it was like the emotions of the people, ethereal and ever-changing. The deep historical feeling of the ancient zither added some ancient charm to the music.

    Everyone seemed to have been brought into a scene where grass grew and birds flew, and flowers bloomed everywhere.

    A clear female voice poured into this scene like a clear spring. ¡°Shen Pce of Spring, Cloud¡­¡±

    Suddenly, the music was decadent. It lost some of its rity and gained a deeper charm. ¡°The longmp is like the moon¡­¡±

    Slowly, the music became extremely loud. However, there was an extreme emptiness in the high notes. It was as if they had reached the peak but had no support. They were about to break through the wind and descend at any moment.

    The song stopped, but there was no movement in the live-stream.

    Jun Shiling stared at theputer screen quietly.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a moon-white dress. Her ink-ck hair was pure, and her bright eyes and white teeth were like the moon and frost. It blurred the boundary between ancient and modern.

    Now that her ten slender fingers were sitting in front of the ancient zither, she was like a painting that had been immersed in ink for a long time. She was noble and peerless, and it seeped into one¡¯s heart.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan announced the end and everyone left the live-stream that everyone was pulled out of the mood they had just been brought into.

    [ F*ck¡­ Did she really sing it? ]

    [ Is it really not a tape? That¡¯s amazing. ]

    [ I¡¯ve always felt that the songs yed by this ancient zither are more profound and obscure. This is the first time I¡¯ve heard such a pleasant ancient style song. ]

    [ Based on my experience as a person who has been in the ancient style industry for many years, this song is definitelyposed by a gold medalposer. This song is really too good. I want the title of the song! ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful, my god!! When she was ying the piano, I felt that she was going to fly away in the next second!! She¡¯s too beautiful! I¡¯m sorry, the organization. I¡¯m going to defect. I¡¯ve decided to be a fan of this little sister. ]

    [ The betrayer in front, bring me along. Although I¡¯ve always heard that Xia Wanyuan has a lot of scandals, she¡¯s really good-looking. She¡¯s such a beautiful sister who ys the piano and sings well! I really love her. ]

    Outside the live-stream, Chen Yun was frozen like a stone statue.

 Chapter 105 - The Princess Was Confused

    <h4>Chapter 105: The Princess Was Confused</h4>

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan lifted the silk cloth, Chen Yun¡¯s heart had died. He didn¡¯t know what Xia Wanyuan was up to, but he knew that Xia Wanyuan was going to be dragged out again to be criticized and reprimanded.

    Then, Xia Wanyuan began to y the zither. The moment the melodious sound of the zither came out, Chen Yun¡¯s dead heart had this thought, ¡°I can still be saved, really.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished ying, Chen Yun, like everyone else in the live-stream, was immersed in the world that Xia Wanyuan had created for them with music.

    Chen Yun was a manager. Although he didn¡¯t know much about music, he had good taste and knew what kind of music was good.

    Using emotions to immerse oneself in the music and using the sound as the brush, one could create a world in a few minutes of the music. Furthermore, one could bring the person who listened to the song into this world. Such a song was of high quality.

    And he had just seen this spiritual essence in Xia Wanyuan, who had once been a useless person.

    When he saw thements praising Xia Wanyuan, Chen Yun was so excited that he bit off his instant noodles spoon.

    Xia Yu did not expect Xia Wanyuan to know how to y the zither. Although he did not know music, he still found it pleasant.

    The live-stream was abuzz and filled with the aftershocks left behind by Xia Wanyuan. The poprity of Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream next door had long been surpassed by Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu was still continuing the live broadcast. After all, Xia Wanyuan had only agreed on a two-hour guest time with the tform. Including the time she spent ying games and ying the piano, it had already passed. Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door and walked out.

    After staring at her phone screen for a long time and ying the zither for a while, Xia Wanyuan felt a little bored, so she went downstairs to the manor¡¯s garden to sit.

    The garden was filled with running water that flowed in the night. It was already the end of spring, and many flowers had already wilted. The young fruits began to poke their heads out.

    The air was less sweet and only had a hint of green when the evening breeze blew asionally.

    It had been a long time since she had yed the zither. The Feng Xiqin that Uncle Wang had found was indeed a good zither. The moment Xia Wanyuan touched it, she felt that her thoughts were connected to the ancient zither.

    The deep historical feeling of the zither made Xia Wanyuan even more adept at ying the song. But at the same time, because of this ancient feeling, it evoked the loneliness that Xia Wanyuan had buried in her heart for a long time.

    How could she bepletely adapted to it? She was born in the Xia Dynasty and had grown up in the Xia Dynasty. Her younger siblings, who she had relied on for survival, were all in the Xia Dynasty. Her teachers and friends were all in the Xia Dynasty.

    However, in this era a thousand yearster, there were records of her previous dynasties. Only the Xia Dynasty seemed to have been erased from history books, without any traces.

    It was as if the entire Xia Dynasty was a dream that only existed in her mind. However, she knew that it was not a dream.

    After arriving here, she had borrowed someone else¡¯s body to be reborn. With the cute Xiao Bao apanying her, she did not seem so lonely, but she always felt that she was drifting away from this world.

    Sometimes, when she was in a daze, she would think about why God sent her to the modern world. This era was sufficiently advanced and open. There was no need for her.

    She was a person who had intruded into the future by mistake. She had epted the original owner¡¯s son, career, family, entered the entertainment industry, filmed movies, and followed the original owner¡¯s path. Because from the bottom of her heart, it seemed like she had never found her own path.

    Initially, she had been experiencing modern life and had been busy with all kinds of work. She did not expect that the zither today would bring out the deepest confusion in her heart.

 Chapter 106 - Princess, Master Jun Reveals His Heart

    <h4>Chapter 106: Princess, Master Jun Reveals His Heart</h4>

    After Xia Wanyuan left the live-stream, Jun Shiling walked out of the study and watched her walk to the gazebo in the garden from afar.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting alone in the pavilion, for some reason, Jun Shiling felt as if her entire body was filled with loneliness, as if she was a white plum on the peak of a mountain that had been temporarily blinded by a gust of wind.

    Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t help but walk towards the gazebo.

    Xia Wanyuan was leaning on the railing, looking at the full moon in the sky, wondering if the moon was the only one in the world who knew about the Xia Dynasty.

    <i>Was this moon the same moon I had seen a thousand years ago when I was holding the hands of my siblings after my parents?</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s chilly at night. Aren¡¯t you cold?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around. A jacket with Jun Shiling¡¯s warmth was already draped over her.

    There was still some warmth on the jacket, as if it had dispersed the coldness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy?¡± Xia Wanyuan adjusted her coat.

    ¡°You¡¯re not happy.¡± Jun Shiling was an expert at seeing through people¡¯s hearts. Furthermore, when Xia Wanyuan turned around just now, her cold eyes made Jun Shiling have a ridiculous thought,?<i>If I did not stop Xia Wanyuan, this person might disappear.</i>

    ¡°A little.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not bother exchanging pleasantries with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling did not probe further and sat on a chair not far from Xia Wanyuan.

    The two of them did not speak further. Since Xia Wanyuan did not say anything, Jun Shiling did not probe further. Xia Wanyuan sat back in her previous position and leaned against the railing, looking at the full moon in the sky. A few dark clouds floated over, temporarily hiding the bright moon. The world seemed a little dim.

    After a long while, Xia Wanyuan suddenly spoke.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you living for?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up at Xia Wanyuan. Under the light, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile was exquisite and hazy. The usually elegant and beautiful her actually looked a little helpless and confused.

    ¡°I was born to be the sessor of the Jun family.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°But I¡¯ve never known what I am really living for. The Jun family will continue to operate even after another person takes over.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. She had always felt that Jun Shiling was highly disciplined. He always had his own principles when he did things, as if he was indomitable and had steel bones. However, such a person said that he did not know why he lived.

    ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡± Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I do.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Jun Shiling had such an ability. No matter what he said, others would think that he was reliable and sincere.

    ¡°But I know now.¡± Jun Shiling retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan and frowned, hiding the overwhelming heat.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed, but Jun Shiling did not speak further.

    ¡°But in the road ahead, there will be an answer to everything.¡± After a while, Jun Shiling looked up. His eyes were as clear as usual, but they were as deep as a mountain.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Although Jun Shiling had only said a few words, Xia Wanyuan felt as if he had instilled a lot of strength in her.

    Even if Jun Shiling simply stood there, he made people feel that even if the sky had copsed, he would not let the sky fall on him at all.

    Perhaps it was his ability to make people feel at ease that made the usually vignt Xia Wanyuan lower her guard in front of him.

    The dark clouds on the horizon slowly dissipated. The bright moonlight shone on the ground again, gently illuminating the path that the nightwalkers took.

 Chapter 107 - Sweet, Sweet Exchange of the Genuine Heart

    <h4>Chapter 107: Sweet, Sweet Exchange of the Genuine Heart</h4>

    Seeing the loneliness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes gradually dissipate, Jun Shiling¡¯s mood seemed to rx a little.

    Jun Shiling picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    After drinking a mouthful of tea, warmth spread from her stomach to her surroundings. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gloomy mood was swept away.

    ¡°When did you start receiving training as the sessor of the Jun Corporation?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan asked curiously after hearing Jun Shiling mention it.

    ¡°Three years old.¡±

    ¡°So early?!¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless.?<i>It was when he was about the same age as Xiao Bao.</i>

    When the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, she was fifteen years old. Before she was fifteen, she had a carefree and pampered childhood.

    As a result, no matter how dangerous it waster on, there was still warmth left in her heart from herte parents. The golden years of her youth were the support of countless cold nights that apanied her through the endless ck roads.

    ¡°Yes, my parents passed away early. Grandpa had high hopes for me.¡± At the mention of histe parents, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was a little low.

    Xia Wanyuan was afraid that Jun Shiling would be unhappy, so she hurriedly tried to divert his attention. ¡°Then have you been as serious as you are now since you were three years old? Like a little adult.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had seen photos of Jun Shiling when he was young. Xiao Bao had practically replicated Jun Shiling¡¯s childhood image.

    Xia Wanyuan imagined the adorable little dumpling¡¯s serious and old-fashioned expression. A smile appeared in her eyes, and it flickered with light.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling expression and naturally understood what she was thinking. A hint of helplessness shed across his eyes.

    ¡°I was so young back then. How could I be like this? I just don¡¯t like to talk, but I¡¯m still very naughty.¡± Jun Shiling recalled the past with some emotions.

    After Jun Shiling grew up, it was even more impossible for him to tell others what he looked like when he was young. When he became the leader of the Jun family, he stood at the peak of the era.

    The news media in the outside world had deified him in all sorts of ways. The reports they wrote were all about Jun Shiling being literate at the age of three, reading Chinese characters at the age of four, learning astronomy and geography at the age of five or six, and he had sessfully invested his first bucket of gold at the age of seven.

    However, it was not that incredible. In the beginning, he was just a child. Now, other than his talent, his power and status could not be separated from his hard work day and night.

    ¡°How mischievous? Climbing a tree and looking for a bird? Teasing a teacher? Or fighting?¡± Xia Wanyuan was even more curious now. After all, the Jun Shiling in front of her now was an elegant gentleman with peerless elegance. She really couldn¡¯t imagine how he would look when he was mischievous.

    ¡°At that time, I had too many missions and didn¡¯t want to learn them. When the bodyguards weren¡¯t paying attention, I climbed over the wall and slipped out to y for a day. Grandpa searched the entire capital but couldn¡¯t find me. He was so anxious that he had to use his special rtionship. In the end, it was the cleaningdy who found me sleeping in the corner of the back garden.¡±

    When Jun Shiling recalled those distant memories, it was as if they were stories of someone else. Even Jun Shiling was surprised that there was such a mischievous time.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t climb a tree or steal birds, but I did y tricks on my teacher. I was five or six years old. I drew a mustache for my teacher while he was sleeping, and then I was taught a lesson by my grandfather.¡±

    Jun Shiling spoke slowly and very alluringly. Xia Wanyuan listened intently and found it very interesting.

    When one didn¡¯t dig for memories, they would never think of it. When they dug back, the memory fragments jumped into their minds one by one.

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell. I thought you were a little adult.¡± Xia Wanyuan listened intently and didn¡¯t notice that more than half an hour had passed.

    The Jun Shiling tonight seemed especially approachable. It was as if the cier in front of him had been removed, allowing people to see that this man, who stood at the peak of the era, also had a warm and natural side to him.

    The child that Jun Shiling had mentioned about teasing the teacher, who had climbed over the wall and snuck away, was far from the Jun Shiling that Xia Wanyuan knew. However, after hearing what he said, Xia Wanyuan felt as if she had touched a more real Jun Shiling.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t climbed a tree, but I have. At that time at the pal¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was reminded of her memories by Jun Shiling¡¯s description. She almost said the word ¡®pce¡¯ but paused in time.¡± At home, I always brought my younger brother to climb trees and look for bird¡¯s nests. In the summer, I went to the pond to catch fish¡­¡±

    When she was young, she had her parents and siblings. That was the belief that she had always kept in her heart.

    Speaking of those days where she climbed trees, picked flowers, and yed tricks on her teacher, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered with vividness.

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she gestured to Jun Shiling about the size of the fish she had caught and the flowers she had picked.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gorgeous figure under the light, his eyes shining brightly. It was as if there was a gentle glow surrounding her, and the warmth that came from her made his heart ache.

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he patiently listened to Xia Wanyuan talk about her past that he did not understand.

    Uncle Wang originally wanted to go and change the tea for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, but he saw from afar that Jun Shiling, who was dressed warmly and had a smile on his face, was listening attentively to Xia Wanyuan.

    The two of them seemed to be born in harmony. The peaceful atmosphere made people feel that looking at them from afar disturbed them.

    Uncle Wang tactfully lightened his footsteps and walked away.

    The moment Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream ended, the video of Xia Wanyuan ying the piano had already attracted attention online.

    At first, everyone was paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Feng Xiqin.

    After all, Feng Xiqin had only been recorded in historical books. Whether it really existed or not was disputed in the history world.

    Now, the Xia family¡¯s corporation had already been sessfully restructured and had be active in the stock market.

    Hence, the rumor that Xia Wanyuan had used a fake to deceive others was false. After all, Xia Wanyuan was considered rich now.

    Regarding this, someone specially sent Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video to the Ancient Zither Research Association and asked the experts to evaluate it. When they heard that the Feng Xiqin had appeared, the experts worked overtime overnight and held up magnifying sses to study the Ancient Zither in all aspects.

    In the end, they concluded that it was the real Feng Xiqin.

    [666666]

    [ Tycoon, I¡¯m impressed. ]

    [ Why are you so rich? Damn, can anyone tell me how much this Feng Xiqin costs? ]

    [ The one in front, I heard that the previous ancient zither was auctioned at 120 million RMB. ]

    [ Oh my god, no wonder the piano sound so good!! The song Xia Wanyuan sang was also nice. Does anyone know the name of that song? I¡¯m going to search for it and download it. ]

    However, after looking around, no one could find the original song of the one Xia Wanyuan sang.

 Chapter 108 - Poor Little Spoon

    <h4>Chapter 108: Poor Little Spoon</h4>

    Although no one had found out the original name of the song, marketing ounts had already started specting online.

    @ Industry dog: ¡°I specially went to look for the recent works of all the famousposers and realized that there wasn¡¯t the song that Xia Wanyuan sang. Furthermore, a song of this standard doesn¡¯t seem to be written by an unknownposer. Xia Wanyuan also said that this song is a character piece in ¡®The Long Bad¡¯, so is this song the theme song for the characters in the television drama?¡±

    In fact, there was nothing wrong with actors singing their own characters¡¯ songs, but ¡°The Long Bad¡± was a drama that had not been broadcasted yet. All the actors had signed a confidentiality agreement.

    Furthermore, in order to prevent resources from leaking and to ensure that the publicity work could be carried out in a normal and orderly manner, even some videos filmed by fans when they visited the production team were strictly prohibited from spreading, not to mention these theme songs that involved the core characters.

    Hence, this unconfirmed guess immediately aroused the displeasure of the other actors and fans in the production team.

    [ Is Xia Wanyuan joking? The production team has worked hard for so long and it¡¯s almost time for the movie to premiere. Why would Xia Wanyuan directly use the theme song for publicity? ]

    [ F*ck, my heart aches for our Yu¡¯er. She¡¯s burning up and still wants to film, but now she¡¯s being dragged down by her stupid teammate. ]

    [ The production team hasn¡¯t even started to announce it. Don¡¯t you have to be responsible for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leak? ]

    Fans were easily provoked, to begin with. Furthermore, Ruan Yingyu and Xia Wanyuan were both female characters in the drama, so they had a subtle rtionship to begin with. In addition, the video released by the production teamst time showed Ruan Yingyu being suppressed by Xia Wanyuan, causing the fans to be filled with anger.

    Now that they had a chance, before the news could be confirmed, Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans pushed the topic to continue fermenting.

    After a few marketing ounts, the news that appeared in front of everyone became ¡°Xia Wanyuan leaked the character¡¯s theme song.¡±

    The fans of the other roles in ¡°The Long Bad¡± teamed up and collectively denounced Xia Wanyuan on the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s own Weibo ount was even more disastrous. However, she rarely went on Weibo and did not see this.

    However, Xia Yu was truly angered. When manyizens saw that there was no reaction from scolding Xia Wanyuan, they turned the battlefield to Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu was not here for nothing. When he saw someone scolding him, he cklisted him and kicked him away. Hence, when a newizen came to join in the fun, he saw the notification on Xia Yu¡¯s Weibo page.

    ¡°This blogger has already cklisted three thousand people in a day. Please watch your words and actions.¡±

    Theizens were speechless.?<i>What else could we say? He was a ruthless person!</i>

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about this song? Let me dance for Young Master, okay?¡±

    The new model was still a little uneasy on the way here. She heard from her manager that the other party was a big shot. Most of the big shots she had seen before were from the beer-bellied Mediterranean.

    Who would have thought that when she arrived at the hotel, she would see the handsome and charming Young Master Xuan, who was better looking than anyone she had ever seen?

    She was initially unwilling, but now, she seemed to be sincere in pleasing him.

    The hand that was covered in nutmeg grabbed Xuan Sheng¡¯s shoulder from behind and rubbed against his back. However, Xuan Sheng¡¯s attention was not on him.

    The young model looked at the video ying on Xuan Sheng¡¯s phone. The woman in the video was indeed quite good-looking, but it was too boring to y the zither. The singing voiceing from the phone was a little light and ethereal.

    Jealousy shed across the young model¡¯s eyes as she unbuttoned her shirt slowly.

    ¡°Young Master Xuan, what¡¯s so good about this? Do my tattoos look good?¡±

    She took the phone away with both hands and a white and warm body appeared in his arms. A ruthless look shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes.

    The anxiety in his heart seemed to be surging again. Xuan Sheng rubbed his temples.

    Seeing that Xuan Sheng did not move, the young model stepped in front of him even more boldly and wrapped around him like a snake.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Xuan Sheng was caught off guard and got up. The young model was not prepared and fell to the ground. Although there was a carpet, she still cried from the pain.

    Xuan Sheng did not have the slightest intention of being gentle with a woman. The beast in his heart seemed to be about to roar out again. Xuan Sheng picked up his phone and strode out of the room.

    ¡°Young Master, this is the medicine for today.¡±

    Xuan Sheng walked out of the room angrily andy on the lounge chair by the pool for a long time. The assistant was worried that Xuan Sheng¡¯s illness would act up again. After hesitating for a while, he mustered his courage and went forward.

    ¡°Leave it here.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s voice sounded a little low.

    The assistant ced the medicine on the table and left.

    In the video, the video of Xia Wanyuan ying the zither was still repeating. Xuan Sheng did not care about the lyrics or the melody.

    He only knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice had a calming power, as gentle as the moonlight. The eager beast in his heart seemed to be pacified when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song and fell silent.

    After a long time, Xuan Sheng fell asleep on the recliner as he listened to the song beside him. The medicine bottle that his assistant had brought over was still on the table.

    At the same time, the matter of Xia Wanyuan leaking the theme song of the character became more and more public. The production team was finally rmed.

    In fact, the production team knew very well that Xia Wanyuan wasn¡¯t singing the theme song for the role, but the publicity team made the production team¡¯s Weibo remain silent.

    After all, before the movie was released, every exposure could help build momentum for the drama. Furthermore, the poprity was given for free. It could save them hundreds of thousands of publicity fees.

    Although this was actually sacrificing Xia Wanyuan, the production team had no choice since the investor had made a request.

    Hence, the tacit approval of the production team allowed everyone to confirm their guesses about the marketing ount. Xia Wanyuan had really leaked the theme song. Everyone demanded Xia Wanyuan to apologize and request to ban her. Otherwise, it would seriously break the rules of the film industry.

    Chen Yun was also extremely anxious. He hurriedly called Xia Wanyuan to confirm if this little ancestor had really leaked the theme song.

    Having nothing to do at home for the past few days, Xia Wanyuan often watched videos that taught people how to make pastries. In addition, Xiao Bao had always been moring for sweets.

    Xia Wanyuan then came to the kitchen to prepare some desserts. Just as she made up the dough, Chen Yun called.

    ¡°I wrote that song myself.¡± After tasting the vor of the dough, it was a little nd. Xia Wanyuan poured some milk into the bowl and spoke calmly to Chen Yun.

    ¡°Sigh, can¡¯t you sing something else? Why must you sing the theme song? What????!!!!!¡± Chen Yun suddenly raised his voice. ¡°You said that you wrote that song?!¡±

    ¡°Yes, I thought of it at thest minute when I was ying the piano. It¡¯s indeed a little crude. I¡¯ll edit it when I have time.¡±

    On the other end of the line, Chen Yun bit off another instant noodles¡¯ spoon.

 Chapter 109 - Waving Hair for the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 109: Waving Hair for the Princess</h4>

    ¡°Really? Don¡¯t lie to me, little ancestor.¡± After being stunned for a while, Chen Yun suddenly asked Xia Wanyuan with a trembling voice.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I wrote the lyrics and melody. However, I thought of that melody during the live broadcast. The time is a little tight and some parts are not connected properly. Why? Is there a problem with the live broadcast?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been well-versed in poetry since she was young. In order topose a poem, one had to pay attention to the rhymes and the ingenious concepts. And modern lyrics clearly did not have many restrictions. Xia Wanyuan basically only spoke one song, and there was no need to even think about it.

    She felt that this was very natural. After all, in the Xia Dynasty, she was surrounded by either the current great schrs or famous poets and painters.

    Having been under their influence for a long time, Xia Wanyuan had never felt that her ability was amazing. However, to Chen Yun, this was like a fantasy story.

    Xia Wanyuan ate an egg. Hearing that Chen Yun¡¯s tone was wrong, she stood up and put down her work.

    ¡°No, you¡¯re really a little ancestor. I have something to tell you. Where are you staying now? I¡¯lle and find you.¡± Although the Xia Wanyuan in the past was really unreliable, the current Xia Wanyuan¡¯s every move made people inexplicably believe her.

    ¡°It¡¯s still that manor, at my friend¡¯s house.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan fiddled with the dessert in her hand again.

    The dough already rose. Xia Wanyuan made some red bean paste and wrapped it in the dough. Then, she began to pinch the little round dough into the shape of a pig ording to the method used in the video.

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Jun Shiling had gotten off work early that day, but he did not see Xia Wanyuan when he got home. It was Uncle Wang who had told him that Xia Wanyuan was making dessert for Xiao Bao in the kitchen.

    When the servants saw Jun Shiling, they hurriedly greeted him with trepidation. Jun Shiling waved his hand, and everyone hurriedly left the kitchen.

    ¡°You¡¯re off work so early?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling before burying her head in the dessert in her hand.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything on today, so I came back first.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied without looking up.

    She did not realize that the way she interacted with Jun Shiling now actually resembled that of an old couple.

    Moreover, after the conversationst night, the two of them seemed to be less courteous and more natural.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jun Shiling walked to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Little rabbit, look. Is it cute?¡± At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had already pinched a pink little rabbit. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand was very skillful. After watching the video once, the little rabbit she pinched was already more exquisite than the one in the tutorial video.

    Jun Shiling nced at the pink rabbit in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, then at the person with watery eyes beside the pink rabbit. He felt that she was probably more adorable.

    To make it convenient for her to do things, Xia Wanyuan had tied her hair into a simple ponytail. However, because she had tied it low, arge strand of hair hung down in front of her, blocking her vision.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands were filled with the flour she had gotten from kneading the dough. It was not convenient for her to tie her hair again, so she could only rub it with her forearm.

    However, it didn¡¯t have much of an effect, so Xia Wanyuan gave up and let it be.

    ¡°Let me help you.¡±

    After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he gently tucked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair behind her ear.

    Jun Shiling was tall and broad. At that moment, he seemed to be holding Xia Wanyuan in his arms. Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze.

 Chapter 110 - Scheming Master Jun

    <h4>Chapter 110: Scheming Master Jun</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s fingertip gently touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. With a hint of heat, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear burned red.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was too aggressive. Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was everywhere.

    ¡°Is that a cat you¡¯re making?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze and looked down. The dough that was originally a rabbit was subconsciously pinched into a little animal that resembled a cat because Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    ¡°It does look a little like a cat.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed.

    ¡°I have a cat in my hand too.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice sounded above her head. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling smiling.

    Flowing light dissipated from the orchid jade tree.

    This seemed to be the second time she had seen Jun Shiling smile so brightly. Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    However, Jun Shiling raised his hand and brushed his warm fingers across her face. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in shock.

    Jun Shiling stretched out his index finger. On it was the flour that he had just wiped off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°Little cat.¡± There was an obvious smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s tone. When Xia Wanyuan met his smiling gaze, she suddenly felt her heart throb and her face flushed red.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to help, go out. Don¡¯t disturb me here.¡± Xia Wanyuan was rarely embarrassed.

    ¡°Let me help you.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obviously unnatural expression, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. He took off his suit jacket and ced it on a shelf, then prepared dessert with Xia Wanyuan.

    Chen Yun trembled as he took the taxi to the manor. When he got out of the car, he clearly felt that the way the taxi driver looked at him was very wrong.

    It was as if he was saying,?<i>Does a billionaire like you need to take a taxi?</i>?Chen Yunughed in his heart.

    Chen Yun looked around the entrance of the manor and wondered if he should call Xia Wanyuan. The manor looked heavily guarded, and there was a high chance that he would not be allowed to enter.

    Unexpectedly, just as he took out his phone, the dazzling door slowly opened in front of him.

    ¡°You must be Mr. Chen Yun. Please follow me.¡±

    The servant in exquisite uniform bowed to Chen Yun with a smile.

    Chen Yun hurriedly returned a bow and stuffed his phone back into his pocket in a hurry before following behind the servant awkwardly.

    Unexpectedly, twenty minutes had passed since he walked from the entrance of the manor to the main building. Chen Yun looked calm on the outside, but he was already flooded with tens of thousands ofments in his heart.

    <i>¡®Is this friend of Xia Wanyuan the God of Fortune?!!! Where did this rich friende from? Can you give me one too?¡¯</i>

    When he reached the door, the servant automatically retreated. Chen Yun tried to walk into the house himself.

    The huge marble pirs supported the hall that was like a pce. Famous calligraphy and paintings that were auctioned at high prices could be seen everywhere. They were rare treasures.

    Chen Yun could not help but walk lightly, afraid that he would identally damage something here. He would not be able to afford it even if he sold himself.

    Someone seemed to be talking in front of him. Chen Yun slowly walked over and saw Jun Shiling, whom he had never dreamed of meeting in person.

    Jun Shiling seemed to have seen him too, but he only nced at him briefly before looking away.

    The dessert was ready, but it still needed some cream. Xia Wanyuan wanted to make some herself, so Jun Shiling epted the mission.

    ¡°I have cream on my hands. Help me roll up my sleeves.¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan had already washed her hands. Upon hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, she stepped forward to undo the wrist sp of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his strong forearms.

 Chapter 111 - Xiao Baos Biological Father?

    <h4>Chapter 111: Xiao Bao¡¯s Biological Father?</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had her back facing Chen Yun, so she did not notice anyone behind her.

    She rolled up both sleeves to prevent them from falling off. Xia Wanyuan even carefully folded the sleeves of her shirt several times.

    As she was too focused on rolling up his sleeves, she did not realize that she seemed to have fallen into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡±

    After rolling up his sleeves, Xia Wanyuan turned around and was about to get some fruits when she saw Chen Yun, who had a copsed world view not far away.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know he woulde in directly. I¡¯ll remind him not to spread.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was deep.

    ¡°Brother Chen.¡± Xia Wanyuan greeted Chen Yun.

    ¡°Hey! Hey????????!!¡± Chen Yun subconsciously agreed. Then, he looked horrified. ¡°Don¡¯t call me Brother Chen. Just call me Xiao Chen.¡±

    <i>From what I had seen just now, Xia Wanyuan might even be Jun Shiling¡¯s person. If Xia Wanyuan called me Brother Chen, then wouldn¡¯t I be a generation older than Jun Shiling?!</i>

    <i>Xia Wanyuan, you are indeed my ancestor. Can you let me live a little longer?</i>

    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s nothing. Come and sit.¡± Xia Wanyuan also knew that Chen Yun was frightened by Jun Shiling, so she turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Can you bring me some fruits?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and left the hall with his things, leaving the ce to Xia Wanyuan and Chen Yun.

    It was only when Jun Shiling¡¯s figurepletely disappeared into the hall that Chen Yun swallowed hard.

    ¡°Was that person just now the person in charge of the Jun family, CEO Jun?¡± Even though he already knew very clearly in his heart, Chen Yun still wanted to ask again, as if if he could treat this as a dream if Xia Wanyuan answered that he was wrong.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Unfortunately, Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Have you been staying here all this time?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Are you in a rtionship with CEO Jun?¡± Chen Yun felt that the world was a fantasy.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. However, hearing Chen Yun mention the word ¡®in a rtionship¡¯, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly.

    ¡°Er¡­¡± Chen Yun¡¯s expression turned unnatural.¡± Although saying this will offend people, Xiao Xia, I still want to remind you that we can¡¯t afford to provoke a man like CEO Jun. ¡±

    ¡°If you have any difficulties, tell me. Let¡¯s see if we can resolve it. This can¡¯t go on forever.¡±

    Recalling how the Xia family had suddenly made aeback recently, Chen Yun recalled the drama where Xia Wanyuan had sacrificed herself for the family and sold herself to Jun Shiling. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan was filled with pity and anger.

    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s not as serious as you think.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°You said you had something to tell me. What is it?¡±

    ¡°Ah, I almost forgot about the serious matter.¡± Chen Yun patted his head and remembered. ¡°You told me that youposed the melody and the lyrics yourself. Is that true?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I promise.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Chen Yun looked at the clearness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. Even if ten thousand voices in his mind told him that this was the ignorant and ipetent Xia Wanyuan, he would be doomed if he believed her.

    But deep in his heart, he believed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    ¡°There¡¯s something else. Uh, Qian Xiu removed the termination agreement and came looking for me again.¡±

    Even Chen Yun found it strange.?<i>Why was such a big brand sticking to Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    But today, he had seen the subtle rtionship between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    Chen Yun thought about it and asked mysteriously, ¡°Was it CEO Jun who found the resources for you?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head.?<i>If Jun Shiling had given me the resources, they wouldn¡¯t have added that breach of contract in the first ce.</i>

    ¡°Then, should we ept this endorsement?¡± This was originally a pretty good endorsement, but being so eager to find Xia Wanyuan made Qian Xiu look a little strange. Chen Yun, on the other hand, felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to casually ept it.

    ¡°Show me the contract first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send it to you when I get backter.¡±

    Chen Yun looked at the calm and leisurely Xia Wanyuan in front of him and felt very regretful.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan was useless. In any case, how she fell was her business. After Chen Yun persuaded her for a while, he was toozy to say anymore.

    The current Xia Wanyuan exuded a spiritual aura from the inside out, yet she had fallen to such a state. Although Jun Shiling¡¯s status was indeed extraordinary, there was no way out of being his mistress.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, I still want to say a few more words. Don¡¯t fall into it. When CEO Jun gets tired of it, let¡¯s go ashore early, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to exin to Chen Yun. After all, her rtionship with Jun Shiling was indeed tooplicated, so she could only agree with Chen Yun.

    Just as the awkward atmosphere in the hall spread, Xiao Bao¡¯s childish voice suddenly came from outside the door.

    ¡°Mommy!!¡±

    Xiao Bao, who was wearing a panda suit, rushed in from the door and urately threw himself into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    Xiao Bao leaned on Xia Wanyuan and raised his head, his big eyes filled with anticipation. ¡°Daddy told me that you made me a little biscuit. Is that true, Mommy?¡±

    ¡°Yes, you can eat itter.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby little face.

    ¡°Oh yeah! Mommy, you¡¯re the best!¡± Xiao Bao pped his hands happily. Only then did he turn around and look at Chen Yun, who was sitting on the sofa not far away.

    ¡°Mommy, who is this?¡±

    ¡°Call him Uncle.¡± Xia Wanyuan was also very helpless. Since Chen Yun had seen it, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it anymore. Anyway, as a manager, Chen Yun could still be trusted.

    ¡°Hello, Uncle,¡± Xiao Bao greeted obediently before shrinking into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.?<i>I still liked Uncle Bo more. Uncle Bo was good-looking!</i>

    ¡°This, this, this.¡± Chen Yun felt that his heart would die here today. Chen Yun pointed at Xiao Bao, who was in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, trembling. ¡°Your child?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°The child¡¯s father is?¡± Chen Yun¡¯s voice trembled even more.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling walked in with Xiao Bao¡¯s school bag in his hand.

    It had to be said that the tall and cold Jun Shiling really looked very different from the cute shark school bag.

    ¡°Go and wash your hands. Sit properly yourself. What are you doing?¡± Jun Shiling frowned and looked at Xiao Bao unhappily when he saw him nestled in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms the moment he returned.

    ¡°Oh, Daddy, you¡¯re so fierce. If you¡¯re any fiercer to me, I won¡¯t like you anymore. If I don¡¯t like you, Mommy won¡¯t like you either. Hmph.¡±

    Xiao Bao pouted with a bitter expression, but he still listened to Jun Shiling. He left Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and sat obediently beside her.

 Chapter 112 - Top Search

    <h4>Chapter 112: Top Search</h4>

    Chen Yun thought that if a doctor came to test his heart rate now, that line should rise very quickly like a rocket on a long train.

    ¡°Go and wash your hands,¡± Jun Shiling said again, and Xiao Bao was brought away by the nanny pitifully.

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan and faced Chen Yun. Facing Jun Shiling¡¯s mountain-like imposing aura, Chen Yun was so anxious that he was sweating.

    ¡°I¡¯m done, Xiao.¡± Chen Yun nced at Jun Shiling and met his deep eyes. He hurriedly retracted the word ¡®Xia¡¯. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    With that, he stood up and bowed to Jun Shiling before leaving the hall as if he was escaping.

    It was not until they were outside the door that Chen Yun took a deep breath.?<i>It was too terrifying.</i>

    Before he could react to the magical reality, an old man with gray hair appeared in front of him.

    ¡°Mr. Chen.¡± The old man smiled kindly.

    ¡°Hello, hello. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Yun looked confused.

    ¡°About Young Master and Madam, please keep this a secret, Mr. Chen.¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh, definitely. I understand.¡± No matter what he said, Chen Yun would agree first.

    After Uncle Wang left, Chen Yun thought about Uncle Wang¡¯s words. ¡°Madam??!!!¡±

    <i>What the heck?!!!</i>

    To be honest, even until just now, Chen Yun still felt that Xia Wanyuan might just be Jun Shiling¡¯s mistress who had given birth to a child.

    After all, Jun Shiling had never made it public before. Furthermore, even though Xia Wanyuan had been criticized so badly a few years ago, President Jun had nevere out to defend Xia Wanyuan.

    But seeing the reverence in the old man¡¯s tone towards Xia Wanyuan and the way he addressed her as Madam, Chen Yun waspletely stunned.

    By the time he got home, Chen Yun¡¯s mind was still a mess.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that he came in directly. Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely instruct him properly and not leak it out.¡± After Chen Yun left, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling apologetically.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling seemed to not care about this and replied casually.

    ¡°Even after our divorce, it won¡¯t leak out,¡± Xia Wanyuan added after some thought.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was reaching for the cup paused.

    Then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of water.

    Chen Yun hesitated for a long time before finally convincing himself.

    <i>Who cared what rtionship Jun Shiling had with Xia Wanyuan! In short, it was not a bad thing. Many people wanted to build a rtionship with Jun Shiling, but they could not even find a way. Now, Xia Wanyuan had be his ¡°wife¡±.</i>

    <i>Since Xia Wanyuan had guaranteed that the melody and lyrics of the song wereposed by herself, things became much easier.</i>

    However, Chen Yun did not rify immediately.

    He was actually a very professional manager. It was just that in Star Creation Entertainment, the struggles between the higher-ups were more serious. Back then, he had stood on the wrong side and was sent to the troublesome Xia Wanyuan, who no one else was willing to work with.

    He was waiting, waiting for the incident on the Inte to blow up.

    Only extreme contrast could achieve the peak publicity effect.

    On the Inte, just as Chen Yun had expected, things were getting out of hand.

    The silence from the production team and Xia Wanyuan¡¯spany seemed to have tacitly agreed to the leak of the theme song.

    The fans of the other families and passers-by in the production team added fuel to the fire. Even the official Weibo ount of the central tform was shocked.

    The video of Xia Wanyuan ying the piano and singing had been yed at least ten million times, but thements were not very harmonious.

    There were evenizens who edited out the song Xia Wanyuan used to sing at the g andpared it to the song she sang in the live-stream.

    [ Hahahahaha, isn¡¯t the difference too great? If not for that face, I wouldn¡¯t believe that he¡¯s the same person. ]

    [ Actually, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing ability is really bad. Even a simple song with a melody like red plums was sung by her to this extent. ]

    [ It means that the godly arrangement really saved her. If not for the pleasant melody of that song, with her singing skills, she would have definitely turned into an epic car ident scene. ]

    [ I really want to know who that godly arranger is!!!! I really love it!! I¡¯ve been in the ancient-style circle for so many years, but this is the first time I¡¯ve really encountered a godly arrangement that I am willing to give my life to! ]

    Netizens were the best at following the clues. Hence, everyone followed all sorts of clues and found Mo Feng Studio, who was working with the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    Mo Feng Studio was an especially popr ancient style music production studio a few years ago. However, due to some friction with some secondary singers in the past few years, its reputation was not as good as before.

    Sometimes, when the production team looked for a production team, other than looking at the team¡¯s ability, they would also consider relevant favors.

    As for the director of Mo Feng Studio, he happened to be Ruan Yingyu¡¯s good friend.

    In the past few years, Mo Feng Studio was not as good as before. This director had actually only been transferred overst year.

    The studio itself was quite capable, and with Ruan Yingyu around, Mo Feng Studio had connected with the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    Thetest Weibo post by the studio was a publicity post by the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. This also proved that Mo Feng was in charge of the music piece for ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    [ Wow, I haven¡¯t seen Mo Feng in a long time. My youth! ]

    [ Does Mo Feng have a newposer? The new song this time is so nice!! I love it, I love it! ]

    [ I strongly support your rights. The song that I worked so hard to make can¡¯t be ruined by others like this. ]

    [ Do you know that your song has been leaked? What does your studio¡¯s legal business do? Aren¡¯t you going to work? ]

    The director of Mo Feng Studio, Cheng Xu, reposted this Weibo post that had gathered manyizens¡¯ments with deep meaning. When he reposted it, he had an aggrieved emoticon where he poked his finger.

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans knew very well that Cheng Xu and Ruan Yingyu were good friends in the industry.

    Not long after Cheng Xu posted this Weibo post, Ruan Yingyu sent a hug emoticon in thements as if she was consoling him.

    This move did not have any words, but the effect was too great.

    This was simply telling the fans that our song had been leaked and that we were feeling very wronged and sad.

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans began toment on her hug emoticon.

    Since the production team did not dare to tear them apart because of their pride, then they would do it. Infinite passion surged in the hearts of the fans. They had to protect the interests of their idol.

    Hence, under the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±, everyone began to unite and post, ¡°Please let the production team face the fact that Xia Wanyuan had leaked the production team¡¯s secrets and pursue her responsibility ording to thew.¡±

    Almost all of the fans copied and pasted this sentence. It was a spectacr scene.

    The marketing ounts also heard the news and began to repost this event.

    By night time, the entire inte scene had already formed.

 Chapter 113 - The Princesss Face Slapping Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 113: The Princess¡¯s Face pping Announcement</h4>

    Like a pot of boiling water, this topic gradually boiled to the peak.

    It was time.

    Chen Yun jointly posted a statement on the official Weibo ount of Style Entertainment.

    ¡°Regarding the rumors circting online that mypany¡¯s celebrity, Xia Wanyuan, has leaked the theme song of the drama, mypany has made a solemn announcement: All of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs are original songs by her, and there is no vition of rights. Please stop spreading rumors, and thepany will retain the right to pursue the matter.¡±

    When this rification Weibo post was released, it instantly caused a hugemotion.

    [ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, let meugh for a while more. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s original work?!!! Are you kidding me? ]

    [ The one in front, be quiet. I heard yourughter in Beijing. Don¡¯t disturb my girlfriend. ]

    [ You want to kill a dog after eating a melon?? What did a single dog like me do wrong? ]

    [ Is thepany really not being criticized? With that top-notchposer skills, where did Xia Wanyuan get the guts to say that she did it?]

    [ Is Star Creation Entertainment going to go bankrupt? Why is it giving up? ]

    There were more than ten thousandments, but none of them believed Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s statement. Furthermore, this statement was screenshotted and taken to various forums, causing a lot of ridicule on many posts.

    Before everyone could finishughing, Star Creations Entertainment released another statement.

    ¡°Tomorrow night at 8 pm, in Cat¡¯s Tooth 123 live-stream, Xia Wanyuan will be interacting with everyone online. She will select three lucky viewers and tailor-make songs for everyone. Wee.¡±

    [????? Really? ]

    [ Although I don¡¯t believe that Xia Wanyuan has that standard, it doesn¡¯t stop me from wanting to watch the fun. ]

    [ Pfft, they¡¯re just taking advantage of this poprity. Thepany wants to fish up thest sum with Cat¡¯s Tooth, right? I wouldn¡¯t watch such a lousy marketing method even if you beat me to death. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan knows how topose, so even a sow would climb a tree. Since she¡¯s so confident, she must have hired someone to support her. Can you be more shameless? ]

    Because fans and passers-by had spread the topic too much in the early stages, many passers-by knew when thepany posted on Weibo.

    [ Tailor-make a song? You can really have this. ]

    [ Interesting. What¡¯s the live-stream number again? I¡¯ll take a look tomorrow. ]

    Xia Yuanqing was very happy that Han Yuan had given birth to his son sessfully. He bought Han Yuan many branded bags.

    However, Han Yuan, who was usually very happy whenever she bought a bag, looked at Xia Yuanqing coldly ever since she left the delivery room.

    ¡°Yuanyuan, I bought chicken soup. Here, have some.¡±

    Xia Yuan was a yboy when he was young, but now that he was at the age where he knew the fate of the heavens and had a child at an old age, his temperament had be much smoother.

    ¡°I¡¯m not drinking. Xia Yuanqing, let me ask you, who is the current Chairman of the Xia familypany?¡± Han Yuan brushed Xia Yuanqing¡¯s hand away, her eyes filled with disgust.

    ¡°Well¡­¡± Xia Yuanqing lowered his head in embarrassment.¡± In the Xia family¡¯spany, doesn¡¯t everyone¡¯s surname be Xia? Don¡¯t worry, I still have some shares. I definitely have the money to let the two of you live. ¡±

    ¡°Save your money for yourself.¡± Upon hearing Xia Yuanqing¡¯s words, Han Yuan knew that the Xia family¡¯spany was now in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands.

    <i>Me and my son won¡¯t get anything!</i>?Han Yuan gritted her teeth in anger.?<i>¡®Xia Wanyuan, we¡¯re irreconcble!¡¯</i>

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current fame in the entertainment industry, a cold glint shed across Han Yuan¡¯s eyes.?<i>At most, we would fall out and die together.</i>

    That night was destined to be a night where many people could not sleep.

    Although no one believed Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s statement, it was undeniable that everyone was looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast.

 Chapter 114 - Live Broadcast

    <h4>Chapter 114: Live Broadcast</h4>

    Although theizens said no, their bodies were honest. It was only half-past seven when Cat¡¯s Tooth 123¡¯s live-stream began to bustle with activity.

    After the previous live broadcast, the Cat¡¯s Tooth live-stream server had already expanded once. Looking at the situation now, the programmer who had returned home was immediately called back for maintenance.

    In the programmer¡¯s heart:?<i>I have an MMP to say about my soon-to-be bald hair.</i>

    Time passed slowly, and the people in the live-stream watched on as the time jumped to 8: 00. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream began on time.

    The live-stream environment today was a little different from the previous time.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in a pavilion. Even at night, the lights around the pavilion were set up extremely well. One could see the flowers and green grass around the pavilion. In the camera, one could even hear the sound of flowing water. Not far away, there was the faint sound of insects.

    ¡°Hello, everyone.¡±

    Chen Yun specially instructed Xia Wanyuan to dress up properly for a long time.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a light green dress made of real silk. The color of the dress was in, but it did not look simple. The body of the dress was embroidered with dark gold threads that outlinedrge orchids. Under the light, they could faintly see them.

    Xia Wanyuan had specially put on makeup, making her facial features look even more alluring. She smiled at the camera, her eyes watery and clear.

    [ She¡¯s so beautiful¡­ ]

    [ F*ck¡­ I agree. ]

    [ Can the person in front stop being a love-struck fool? She¡¯s the one who leaked the core publicity song of the production team. So what if she¡¯s beautiful? ]

    [ They haven¡¯t confirmed it yet, right? Isn¡¯t she here to rify¡­ ]

    [ I think I heard water. Is Yuan Yuan broadcasting it to us in the park? Haha. ]

    Xia Wanyuan nced at thements and ignored the arguingments. She casually chose ament to answer.

    ¡°I¡¯m not at the park. I¡¯m live-streaming at home.¡±

    [???]

    [ Poverty has limited my imagination. ]

    [ I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m too poor. The park I thought was someone else¡¯s backyard. ]

    [ Sorry to disturb you. Goodbye. The poor don¡¯t deserve to watch the live broadcast. ]

    Everyone teased each other, diluting somements with ill intentions.

    ¡°I saw everyone¡¯s controversy about the song I yed that day. I thought of the song and lyrics myself and didn¡¯t leak the theme song of the production team.¡±

    It was obvious that the audience in the live-stream did not believe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, and they all began to doubt her.

    ¡°To rify the rumors and to give back to everyone, we will be drawing three viewers in the live-stream today. We willpose three characters¡¯ songs on the spot ording to everyone¡¯s request. Everyone, please wait for a while. We will first set the lucky draw steps.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she waited for Chen Yun to set up the lucky draw segment in the live-stream.

    As it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time live-streaming in Cat¡¯s Tooth live-stream, and the number of viewers online exceeded the limit, five minutes had passed, but Chen Yun was still not done adjusting.

    [ Are you making fun of us? ]

    [ I knew it must be a lie. What a spicy chicken! ]

    [ Liar, liar, liar, you¡¯re wasting everyone¡¯s time. ]

    The audience in the live-stream was already anxious. Seeing that it had not started for a long time, they all thought that Xia Wanyuan was just bluffing.

    The number of viewers was still rising in a straight line. The live-stream was somewhat jammed, and Chen Yun had yet to adjust the lucky draw steps.

    A night breeze blew past, causing the leaves beside the pavilion to rustle.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out, folded a leaf, and ced it by her mouth.

    Before anyone could figure out what she was trying to do, a clear sound of music could be heard in the live-stream.

 Chapter 115 - Forcefully Slapping Face

    <h4>Chapter 115: Forcefully pping Face</h4>

    The music that Xia Wanyuan yed with the leaves was surprisingly gentle and moving. It was pleasant to the ear, like a gentle chirp of a Vermillion Bird. Together with the sound of flowing water in the night, it seemed to have drawn people into the moonlit environment of the deep mountains.

    The anxious hearts of the audience calmed down under the gentle music.

    About two minutester, Chen Yun sent a message to Xia Wanyuan, informing her that the adjustment had beenpleted.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped, but the audience was not satisfied.

    [ I have a feeling that we¡¯re going to p our faces¡­ ]

    [ Me too¡­ How can she blow the leaves so beautifully? ]

    [ Stop bluffing. Aren¡¯t you going topose a song? Can you hurry up? ]

    ¡°Everyone, you can start sending thements. I¡¯m counting to ten now. The firstment I intercepted in the rolling chat box will be the first lucky guest.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished talking about the rules, the audience felt that it was very fair. The speed of thements in the rolling chat box was very fast, especially the morements the fans sent, the faster thements rolled. It waspletely uncontroble.

    At this moment, everyone¡¯s enthusiasm was aroused.

    ¡°Begin.¡±

    At Xia Wanyuan¡¯smand, thements flooded into the live-stream, and the situation of the rollingments was disyed in real-time.

    ¡°1, 2, 3¡­ 10. Time is up.¡± As Xia Wanyuan pressed the pause button, thements in the chat stopped rolling.

    ¡°Congrattions, ¡°I want to sleep early¡± for getting the first spot today. Now, you can post your request in the live-stream.¡±

    [ I want to sleep early: F*ck!! It¡¯s actually me!!! Ahhh!! I¡¯ve been ying a game recently. I especially like a young general in it. He died in battle for his country and ultimately couldn¡¯t be with his beloved. I¡¯ve never found a song suitable for him. ]

    Thisizen¡¯s words resonated with many people. This was a very popr ancient-style game. The young general and the enemy female spy were very sadistic but very popr CPs.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at thements and roughly knew the characters and experiences of the characters.

    She thought for a while and sat in front of the zither.

    With a light flick of her fingers, the sound of the zither could be heard.

    From the beginning, the sound of the zither was extremely deep and fast. It was as if a storm was approaching, bringing people into an era where heroes were vying for supremacy. The zither music carried a tense atmosphere, as if des would be unsheathed in the next second.

    ¡°On the peak of the jade mountain, the battle g is fluttering, looking down on all, and the sword is pointed at the front.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gradually quickened the rhythm of the zither, and the sound of the zither was loud. A young general in iron armor seemed to have ridden over, raising a sandstorm.

    The sound of battle could be heard everywhere. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ten fingers flew across the air, as if she was not in a pavilion but a battlefield on a thousand-li mountain of blood. Even through the screen, the audience seemed to feel the cruel aura of the real battlefield.

    ¡°Whose eyes are shining like the moonlight on the cold night in Qinhuai? Whose cheeks are dyed with the sunset glow under Longevity Street?¡±

    Amidst the high notes of the zither, there were slowly additional gentle tunes. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice had also softened a little. It was as if in this chaotic world, there was still a moment of peace under thenterns and moons.

    Everyone seemed to see the young general wrapped in golden armor change into a white robe and lean against the railing to look at the girl he loved. His eyes were bright and soft like the spring sunshine in March.

    ¡°Sacrificing the mountains and rivers with one sword, giving this body to the country, giving this heart to her, keeping my old promise, going to the frost in my next life.¡±

    The sound of the zither gradually became hurried, but it also carried a hint of pain. Everyone seemed to see their former lover facing the two armies in the endless yellow sand.

    The setting sun was like blood. The young general brandished his sword and used his body to guard the Mountain River Banquet behind him. The swords and spears connected, and the bones were all white.

    The horn of victory sounded. The general was covered in wounds and on the verge of death, but he was looking in the direction of the enemy troops.

    In this life or his next, he would not let down the country.

    In thetter part of the song, the ancient zither sound seemed to be whimpering. However, in the deepness, there was another hint of lightness. It was relief and understanding.

    After the song ended, those who had yed games and those who had never yed games were all immersed in the mood that Xia Wanyuan had created.

    [ I¡¯m really crying. ]

    [ Oh my god, although I¡¯ve never yed games before, I¡¯m so touched. I feel like crying. ]

    [ I love this general too. He¡¯s an indomitable person, but I have to bear too many responsibilities. I won¡¯t let down my country in this life or in my next life. Boohoo, my tears are worthless. ]

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m a man, yet I¡¯m tearing from listening to this song. ]

    [ That war scene is so realistic. Although I¡¯ve never been on the battlefield, I felt as if I was really standing at the edge of the war and watching them fight. I¡¯ve heard so many songs, but I¡¯ve never seen anyone who can make the scene look so real. ]

    Meanwhile, the user called ¡°I want to sleep early¡± was already crying uncontrobly. ¡°This is the feeling!! Oh my god! I¡¯ve heard many songs. Either they only write about their love, or they¡¯re very sad. But the ending is really good. The general didn¡¯t let the country down, and his heart didn¡¯t let down the person he loved. In the end, he was actually freed!¡±

    After this move, the attitude of most people in the live-stream had changed greatly.

    ¡°User, Xiaoyu, tips the broadcaster a Myriad of Stars.¡±

    Xia Yu was originally ying games on a live-stream. At eight o¡¯clock, he brought the entire live-stream audience to watch Xia Wanyuan y the piano.

    The reluctant audience who wanted to watch Xia Yu y games were now sincerely praising Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°The user Sheng rewards the broadcaster with a Myriad of Stars.¡±

    ¡°The user Ling rewards the broadcaster with a Myriad of Stars.¡±

    The meteor special effects appeared in the live-stream one after another.

    [ Has it started??? Is the meteor shower going to start again? ]

    [ Move my stool properly, I want to watch the rich people throw money. ]

    [ Didn¡¯t you say you were going to draw three people? Hurry up, hurry up. Make one for me to conquer the world. I can¡¯t wait anymore. ]

    [ The person in front, go and see a doctor tomorrow. It¡¯s time to check on this habit of getting drunk easily. ]

    Seeing the word ¡®Ling¡¯, Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand that was holding the wine ss paused. A hint of charm shed across his peach blossom eyes.

    With a light tap of his fingers, another shooting star effect bloomed in the live-stream.

    ¡°The user Sheng rewards the broadcaster with a Myriad of Stars and left a message: I like it.¡±

    Almost instantly, new popr special effects covered this announcement.

    [ User Ling gifts the broadcaster ten Myriad of Stars. ]

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he slowly drank the red wine.

    ¡°Thank you for the gift. Now, let¡¯s begin the second person¡¯s draw. Let¡¯s begin.¡±

    This time, the number of people participating was more than double that of before. Those who were attracted by therge number of gifts, in addition to the passers-by who had heard the news, the speed of thements was so fast that the naked eye could not catch up.

    ¡°Stop.¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed the pause button.

    Everyone was a little speechless.?<i>This user¡¯s name was a little familiar. Could this be the power of money?</i>

 Chapter 116 - Master Jun is Unhappy

    <h4>Chapter 116: Master Jun is Unhappy</h4>

    [ I¡¯m so envious¡­ ]

    [ Why isn¡¯t it me? Is it because I can¡¯t give you a Myriad of Stars? ]

    [ He was able to get on the rankings with a single full stop. I typed twenty words to praise the broadcaster for being beautiful and I failed. Goodbye. ]

    [ Boohoo. ]

    The live-stream was filled with tearful expressions. The reason for this was the pause interface on the screen.

    ¡°Sheng : . ¡±

    On the other end of the screen, Xuan Sheng, who had his legs resting on the balcony,zily drank a ss of red wine, was very surprised to see his name in the live-stream.

    ¡°Spectator named Sheng, please tell me your request in the live-stream.¡±

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, ament appeared in the live-stream. It was still the same word.

    ¡°You.¡±

    In the study, Jun Shiling frowned as he looked at the strangement.

    ¡°Can this audience be more specific?¡± Xia Wanyuan also found it strange.

    ¡°Up to you.¡± The user Sheng sent anotherment. This time, it was no more than three words.

    Xia Wanyuan was puzzled, but since she had already done the lucky draw, she had to continue.

    Without many restrictions, Xia Wanyuan followed her heart. With the sound of flowing water and insects, shepletely immersed herself in the zither music.

    In the Xia Dynasty, the one who had taught Xia Wanyuan the zither was the extremely famous Master Tianyin.

    Master Tianyin had a strange habit. He did not like the sound of the zither or the sound of the singing. He felt that profound zither music was enough to express everything in his heart. Xia Wanyuan had learned from him. Although she was not as stubborn as Master Tianyin, she had developed a habit.

    Since the audience did not request anything, Xia Wanyuan simply yed the zither and did notpose lyrics for it.

    The sound of the zither was much gentler than before.

    If one were to say that it was a storm just now, then it was the drizzle of pear blossoms in March.

    The melody of the zither was originally cold, but in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands, it seemed to have softened, exuding a gentleness that seeped into her bones.

    When one closed their eyes, it was as if they could feel a gentle breeze blowing past. The petals swayed with the wind and fell by their cheeks. A faint fragrance came from the tip of their nose. The sunlight was warm and shone on their bodies. Time was quiet.

    Just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful scene, the string melody changed and a violent storm came. The high notes of the zither seemed to bementing and struggling.

    However, this seemingly sudden passion did notst long. Slowly, it was entangled by an extreme gentleness. The sky returned to rity, and water flowed. The sound of the zither also became the sound of flowing water, as if it had washed away the turmoil in the world.

    In this song, it seemed to contain all the beauty in the world. After the song was over, everyone felt as if their hearts had been sunbathed by the spring sun.

    It was filled with warmth.

    [ It¡¯s really nice¡­ I¡¯m going to be a fan. ]

    [ Can I say that this is the best ancient melody I¡¯ve ever heard? Two songs withpletely different styles, but they have the same moving power. ]

    [ The person in front really knows how to praise. He¡¯s not like me who only knows how to say impressive. ]

    [ Count me in as a fan too. I wonder if the faces of those people who said that Xia Wanyuan pretended to be cool and leaked the theme song hurt? ]

    In front of the screen, Xuan Sheng, who had been leisurely drinking with his legs crossed, gradually stopped what he was doing and nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was seriously ying the zither in the live-stream.

    Then, he closed his eyes and quietly listened to the gentle zither music. The mania that had always gued him in his heart seemed to have been pacified by the zither music.

    After the song, Xuan Sheng opened his eyes and looked at Xia Wanyuan in the video with a strange gaze.

    Suddenly, he thought of something and muttered to himself, ¡°He¡¯s so lucky.¡±

    The third lucky audience Xia Wanyuan had drawn in her live-stream was just a passerby who wanted to join in the fun. This passerby didn¡¯t know what song he wanted at the moment, so Xia Wanyuan promised that he coulde to the live-stream to redeem it after the audience thought it through.

    The lively live-stream finally came to an end.

    The effects of the live broadcast were self-evident. The rumors that Xia Wanyuan had leaked the theme song of the drama had copsed on its own. Two consecutive unprepared songs were enough to convince everyone of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength.

    Xia Wanyuan switched off the live broadcast and got up to walk into the house.

    Just as she entered the door, she saw Jun Shiling walking down slowly from upstairs.

    ¡°Why did you send so many gifts again?¡± Jun Shiling had sent five million dors thest time, and this time, it was more than ten thousand dors. Although Jun Shiling was rich, he did not have to send money to the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform like this.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly with a strange expression.

    Although Jun Shiling often had a cold expression on his face, he clearly revealed the words ¡°I¡¯m unhappy¡± tonight.

    Jun Shiling walked to the living room and sat on the sofa drinking tea without looking at Xia Wanyuan. He did not make a sound. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile and felt an inexplicable grievance from him.

    Xia Wanyuan went to the fridge and cut a simple cake that she had spent the entire afternoon preparing. ording to Xiao Bao, this cake was the most delicious cake he had ever eaten.

    However, Xiao Bao had always felt that as long as it was made by Xia Wanyuan, it would be the most delicious thing in the world.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied softly, but he still lowered his head.

    Xia Wanyuan simply took the te and sat beside Jun Shiling.

    The faint fragrance of fruit and cream wafted to his nose. Jun Shiling turned his head and saw a white cake covered in fruits.

    ¡°Try it. I made it. I heard online that eating sweet food can make you happy when you¡¯re unhappy.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was deep. Although he still looked unhappy, he reached out to take the cake te.

    ¡°Is it delicious?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had eaten her fill that night and had yet to taste the cake she had made.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling felt a little annoyed. It was actually very delicious. It was sweet but not greasy and had a rich texture. The fragrance of the fruits mixed with the sweetness of the cake, refreshing the heart.

    He had never felt such emotions before. His heart was bitter. Seeing Xia Wanyuan write songs for others, especially for that strange ¡®Sheng¡¯, made him unhappy.

    However, he, who had been used to not showing his emotions for a long time, did not know how to express this unfamiliar emotion. Hence, when he spoke, there was an abnormal anger.

    Sensing that he had lost hisposure, Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression.

    ¡°Was the song I sang today good?¡±

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan was not angry. Instead, she asked a sudden question.

    ¡°It¡¯s very nice,¡± Jun Shiling said from the bottom of his heart.

    ¡°Then how about I write you a song too?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°At least I won¡¯t let you spend six million dors in vain.¡±

 Chapter 117 - High Praise for Professional Evaluation

    <h4>Chapter 117: High Praise for Professional Evaluation</h4>

    Jun Shiling was stunned for a moment when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. He thought that Xia Wanyuan had sensed his thoughts, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression did not seem like it.

    Xia Wanyuan only saw that Jun Shiling was not in a good mood and wanted to divert his attention. In fact, she did not know why Jun Shiling was unhappy.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The gloominess in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart seemed to have been blown away, but he added, ¡°Another day. You¡¯ve worked hard today.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I haven¡¯t tried the cake yet. I¡¯ll have a bite too,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she reached out her hand.

    However, Jun Shiling had already subconsciously scooped a spoonful and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    During the past few days of eating in the manor, Xiao Bao had always liked to pick up his favorite dishes for Xia Wanyuan. Sometimes, he would pick up the food directly in front of Xia Wanyuan, and she would eat it out of habit.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan ate the cake without hesitation.

    When they reacted, both of them were stunned.

    Because there was only one spoon, and it was the one Jun Shiling had used just now.

    Xia Wanyuan bit into the cake and sat back down awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯ste. I¡¯ll go wash up first.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and left. Jun Shiling sat alone in the living room.

    No one noticed that the usual iron-fisted Young Master Jun¡¯s ears had turned red.

    ¡°Young Master, this is the medicine for today.¡± The assistant ced a few bottles in front of Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Have you finished recording?¡± Xuan Sheng closed his eyes and frowned.

    ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ve already gotten someone to fix the sound and perfect it. It¡¯s in the yer now.¡±

    ¡°You may leave.¡± Xuan Sheng waved his hand, and his assistant left. Xuan Sheng pressed the y button, and the sound system in the bedroom rang with melodious zither music. It was much better than the sound quality in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream.

    Coupled with the top-notch equipment¡¯s perfect sound effects, it was as if the person ying the zither was right in front of him.

    The fragrance of flowing water, the chirping of insects, and the warm weather calmed Xuan Sheng¡¯s heart.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream was sessful, some people could not sleep well.

    The video of Xia Wanyuanposing live on the spot was posted online. Theizens were first shocked, then impressed.

    [ It¡¯s fake, right? She probably found someone to support her in advance. ]

    [ The one in front that imed this is a lie, can you watch theplete live-stream first? Xia Wanyuan selected at random. Everyone in the live-stream is a witness. ]

    [ Oh my god, that general¡¯s tune is so nice. I cried listening to it. ]

    [ Is this still the same Xia Wanyuan from before? Could she have been possessed and reborn? Hahahahaha! ]

    [ The person in front, in a scientific society, can you stop reading brainless novels? ]

    Theizens watched themotion as professionals observed the situation.

    As the discussion became more and more popr, many professionals noticed this video.

    On Weibo, a very famous professional music reviewer, ¡°Ear King¡±, reposted the song that Xia Wanyuan hadposed as a young general.

    ¡°@ Ear King: To be honest, I have rarely listened to ancient music in the past few years. As a former rather representative ancient style music studio, Mo Feng Studio¡¯s decline appears to be due to theck of internal drive due to talent loss, but in fact, it reflects the waning environment of ancient style music in the past few years.

    Nowadays, the ancient music on the market was done in the name of reviving traditional culture. However, what it did was only look fancy. It felt that if she added a little zither music and a little drama, it would be ancient style. Actually, that was not the case.

    In ancient times, what was replicated was the boldness of a warrior wielding a sword on the battlefield. It was the gentleness of the red sleeves unting by the Qin Huai Tower, and it was the emotions that made people¡¯s hearts surge from the inside out.

    Unfortunately, in the past few years, I haven¡¯t seen many songs that really had an ancient style since ancient music started.

    And today, I¡¯m very lucky. I heard the emotions that shook my chest in this song.

    I do not understand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s professionalism in ying the zither, but at the very least, her melody, her zither music, the entire mood that is disyed in front of me is enough to make me silent for a long time. This is the beginning of the ancient era¡¯s revival. Fortunately, you and I will be a witness. ¡±

    As the music review blogger who had nearly ten million fans on Weibo, the Ear King¡¯s professionalism was recognized by most people. Furthermore, he had a lot of fans. When this Weibo post was posted, it attracted a lot of attention.

    Fans who followed the Ear King knew that he was an extremely vicious blogger with extremely harsh reviews. In recent years, as the domestic music market gradually fell, the Ear King had basically never been satisfied with those songs.

    Even because he often criticized popr celebrities¡¯ songs from all angles, he was chased and scolded by fans of the trend.

    This was the first time that fans had seen the Ear King praise someone so highly and even use the high evaluation of ¡°Witnessing the recovery of ancient style music¡±. Everyone clicked on the video curiously to see what kind of music could receive such affirmation from the Ear King.

    Four minutes passed and everyone exited the video in silence.

    Then, they looked at Weibo and saw those people who did not even watch the video and only saw the three words Xia Wanyuan, and started framing Ear King for being bribed. They said that Xia Wanyuan was a piece of trash and was not fit to sing ancient songs. The people felt indignant and spontaneously formed a troll army to fight with the haters.

    [ I suggest the highly praisedmentator who scolded the Ear King for receiving ck money to cut his ear and donate it to someone who needs it. ]

    [ The Ear King has been criticizing people for too long. I forgot that the Ear King is so ruthless when he praises people. Unfortunately, I¡¯m uneducated. I said ¡®F*ck the world¡¯. ]

    [ Those who came toment, as a fan of ancient styles, after watching the video I am deeply in agreement with the Ear King. In recent years, there has really been no good ancient style music. And Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song really made me cry. ]

    [ I¡¯ve never yed games, but from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s melody, I feel like I¡¯m that general. This song seems to have magical powers that can bring people into that scene. ]

    [ I agree with the first part. The song has a passionate tone. I didn¡¯t expect that without the help of other instruments, just the sound of the zither actually made me feel the neighing of war horses and the sh of swords. The magnificent beauty of the yellow desert is really amazing. ]

    [ From thements online, whenever Xia Wanyuan is mentioned, they say that she doesn¡¯t have the ability. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen her video today. If this is called not having the ability, then there really isn¡¯t anyone who can be a celebrity, right? ]

    With the support of the Ear King, the other marketing ounts followed suit. Instantly, all kinds of praises were heard.

    Amidst the praises for Xia Wanyuan, Mo Feng Studio¡¯s Weibo and Cheng Xu¡¯s aggrieved expression appeared to be very subtle.

    Theizens were all people who would not mind the consequences of their actions. Furthermore, many of them were also confused by Cheng Xu¡¯s aggrieved expression. They even went with the wind tofort Cheng Xu and scolded Xia Wanyuan. Now, all of them were scolded back.

 Chapter 118 - Fans Backup

    <h4>Chapter 118: Fans Backup</h4>

    [ I¡¯m dying ofughter. Is it awkward? Is this Miss Cheng feeling so wronged? ]

    [ No wonder Mo Feng Studio has been doing worse and worse over the years. With such a director, it would be strange if they aren¡¯t neglected. ]

    [ And he even hinted that Xia Wanyuan had leaked his tune. In my opinion, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tune is more than a hundred times better than his studio¡¯s works. ]

    [ I used to think that Ruan Yingyu was pretty good, but it seems like she¡¯s also a green tea b*tch. That hugging expression was disgusting. ]

    [ Is the person in front sick? Is it wrong for our Yu¡¯er tofort her friend? She doesn¡¯t go online often and doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s happening on the Inte. ]

    [ It would be strange if she didn¡¯t know. Your master was stillmenting on the production team¡¯s Weibo a second ago. If she doesn¡¯t go online, could it be that she¡¯s a caveman and lives in the past? ]

    Mo Feng Studio and Cheng Xu, who had wanted to make use of this matter to increase their poprity, had not expected things to turn out like this.

    After all, everyone believed that Xia Wanyuan had leaked the theme song. When the time came, even if everyone knew that the theme song was not from Mo Feng Studio, the culprit would still be Xia Wanyuan.

    However, who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan had actuallyposed this piece herself? The one standing at the peak of the storm was Mo Feng Studio.

    The production team was also stunned. They knew what Xia Wanyuan was like, but now that they saw the video that had been praised to the skies, everyone could not sit still.

    ¡°@ ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ production team: The production team has specially rified the rumors that Xia Wanyuan has leaked the theme song of the drama. The production team has always abided by the principle of confidentiality, and there has never been any situation where information was leaked. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lyrics and songs have nothing to do with the production team.¡±

    It was toote to post this Weibo post.

    After all, it was the silence of the production team that had fueled the rumors.

    [ Haha, the production team is really not admitting that they had benefited. Back then, it was so noisy. If not for your silence, would Xia Wanyuan have been scolded so badly? ]

    [ In the end, it¡¯s still Xia Wanyuan who did well. The production team clearly treated her as a marketing tool, but they didn¡¯t expect to be pped in the face. ]

    [ I¡¯m impressed. With Mo Feng Studio¡¯s lousy production skills, how dare you hint that Xia Wanyuan was the one who leaked your song? Shameless. ]

    [ My heart aches for Xia Wanyuan. I have turned into a fan. ]

    After thismotion, there was actually a portion of people who were attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs and disgusted by the operations of Mo Feng Studio and the production team. They actually developed some tender feelings for Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone searched for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan club and realized that this fan who had more than three million fans on Weibo and seemed to be a little popr, had not a single fan at all.

    So the more than three million people were anti-fans.

    Everyone was shocked.

    Now, they felt that it had not been easy for Xia Wanyuan. Hence, everyone formed a group and established Xia Wanyuan¡¯s official fan club.

    Currently, there were ten people in the fan club.

    Looking at the entire inte, such a pathetic celebrity could be the first in history.

    At this moment, everyone only wanted to build a small base where they could share Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ancient songs and share their thoughts.

    There was no other fan who wanted to be popr in the entertainment industry and develop their base into the entire entertainment industry.

    Furthermore, they were not called a base but a small cottage.

    These fans who first entered the group did not realize that a new empire would soon grow from this small cottage with less than ten people.

 Chapter 119 - Spokesperson for Qian Xiu??

    <h4>Chapter 119: Spokesperson for Qian Xiu??</h4>

    Chen Yun quickly sent Qian Xiu¡¯s endorsement contract to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took a look and prepared to ept it.

    Over the past two days, Chen Yun¡¯s phone had finally recovered its function.

    After all, in the first half a month, it had been a brick that did not make any noise. However, ever since Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast ended, it had been ringing non-stop.

    ¡°Hello, hello. Okay, please leave me your contact details. I¡¯ll discuss with youter.¡±

    ¡°Hello, CEO Wang. Yes, yes. Okay. Thank you for your love.¡±

    By the time Chen Yun hung up the phone, an A4 paper was already filled with records.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast had a ratherrge impact. In addition to the publicity on the trending topic, many people felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song was not bad and wanted to buy it from her for publicity. There were even some smallpanies who wanted to invite Xia Wanyuan to be their spokesperson.

    Chen Yun was both happy and worried.

    He was happy that after a few years, he finally had endorsements looking for Xia Wanyuan. However, he was worried that although these endorsements gave him a lot of money, they were all unknown brands. If he epted these endorsements, it would be difficult for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image to improve in the future.

    He wondered if Xia Wanyuan would ept Qian Xiu¡¯s endorsement. While Chen Yun was still in a dilemma, Xia Wanyuan sent a message.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with Qian Xiu¡¯s contract. ept it.¡±

    Chen Yun was relieved and hurriedly contacted Qian Xiu Corporation. After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun went to Qian Xiu Corporation to discuss the contract.

    Chen Yun had just finished discussing with Qian Xiu Corporation and was leaving Qian Xiu Building, when there was already news online.

    ¡°ording to reliable news, Xia Wanyuan will be taking on Qian Xiu¡¯s endorsement.¡±

    [ Are you kidding me? Although her song was alright, that doesn¡¯t mean that she can go all the way up, okay? ]

    [ I¡¯m dying ofughter. The previous spokesperson for Qian Xiu was the movie queen, Wang Qing. Why did they lower herself eight hundred times this year to endorse Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ Perhaps Xia Wanyuan has her own capital. Didn¡¯t they say that the Xia family¡¯spany has recovered? ]

    [ The person in front, although the Xia family is rich, they¡¯re just a little rich. Do you know whichpany Qian Xiu is from? The Xia family isn¡¯t even fit to carry shoes for Glory World Corporation. ]

    [ If Qian Xiu really got Xia Wanyuan to endorse her, then I won¡¯t buy their clothes anymore. It¡¯s really low quality. ]

    At this moment, everyone was suspicious. However, very quickly, a marketing ount released photos of Chen Yun entering and exiting Qian Xiu Corporation.

    There was also a video of Chen Yun discussing matters with the person in charge of Qian Xiu in thepany.

    Now, it was basically confirmed. Ever since Xia Wanyuan debuted, Chen Yun had been by her side. Everyone knew that this was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager.

    Manyizens ran to Qian Xiu¡¯s official Weibo to confirm. Qian Xiu¡¯s old spokespeople fans also heard the news and gathered under Qian Xiu¡¯s Weibo, asking for an exnation.

    After all, endorsements were all about rankings. In the past, when their idol endorsed Qian Xiu, everyone would think that they were amazing because only Best Actor and Best Actress had the right to receive it.

    But now, what right did Xia Wanyuan have to be qualified? In everyone¡¯s eyes, this was not only lowering Qian Xiu¡¯s status, but also dragging down their idol¡¯s image.

    As theizens were more furious, this matter caused an uproar. The Inte basically demanded Qian Xiu to change the spokesperson.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, of course we didn¡¯t sign the contract with Chen Yun. How can an artiste like Xia Wanyuan be qualified to endorse our brand? What we need is a spokesperson with a good reputation and a suitable image for Qian Xiu. Okay, okay. Then let¡¯s sign the contract tomorrow. Let¡¯s have a pleasant cooperation.¡±

    Not long after Chen Yun left Qian Xiu Corporation, the person in charge called outside.

 Chapter 120 - Finally Found a Spokesperson

    <h4>Chapter 120: Finally Found a Spokesperson</h4>

    Qian Xiu was a subsidiarypany under Glory World Corporation. Back then, he had wanted to choose Xia Wanyuan because someone had sent a message from the headquarters and had given him a hint.

    However, after these few days, there was no more news from headquarters regarding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s endorsement of Qian Xiu.

    A few days ago, the person in charge of Qian Xiu tried to ask. The other party replied, ¡°Just do it normally.¡±

    This meant that there was no need to y any tricks secretly. Xia Wanyuan had already been abandoned by the other party.

    At this moment, the in-charge did not feel burdened anymore. He had originally nned to inform Xia Wanyuan that there was no need toe and discuss the endorsement anymore.

    However, he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so popr in the past two days. The live-stream incident and the song had made Xia Wanyuan the topic of discussion on the Inte.

    Businessmen naturally pursued profit. When the person in charge of Qian Xiu saw this, he thought of an excellent publicity idea.

    Coincidentally, Chen Yun had also called. The person in charge of Qian Xiu took advantage of the situation and called Chen Yun to thepany to discuss some matters regarding the contract with him.

    However, as for the time to sign the contract, the in-charge found an excuse and asked Chen Yun to go home and wait for the news.

    Looking at the discussions online and the fake reviewers that Qian Xiu had bought, it was effortless for them to save arge sum of advertising fees.

    Furthermore, due to the temptation of the Inte Water Army, theizens imperceptibly imposed the thought that ¡°Qian Xiu¡¯s brand is very high-end. Xia Wanyuan is not fit to endorse such a brand.¡±

    Chen Yun called Xia Wanyuan happily. The various remunerations that Qian Xiu had mentioned were all very good.

    ¡°Xiao.¡± He wanted to call her Xiao Xia out of habit, but thinking of the awkward rtionship between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, Chen Yun stopped talking. For a moment, he did not know how to address Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Brother Chen, you can treat me the same as before. My rtionship with Jun Shiling isplicated, so you don¡¯t have to treat me as Madam Jun.¡±

    ¡°Hey, okay, let me tell you. The conditions given by Qian Xiu are pretty good. We just discussed and said that you shoulde to Qian Xiu¡¯s ce to film a set of test films tomorrow. Qian Xiu will design a n based on your image.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan searched for some photos of the clothing spokesperson online, wanting to learn from them.

    In the dining room of the Jun Corporation, the employees who had finally found an empty space gathered together and gossiped.

    ¡°Director Wang.¡± They were chatting happily when they saw their leader walking towards them. They quickly shut their mouths and buried themselves in their food.

    ¡°Are you eating?¡± They thought that Director Wang was just passing by, but who would have thought that he would sit down at the table directly? Everyone almost choked on their food.

    ¡°Yes, yes. Director Wang, you¡¯re here for dinner too?¡± When he said this, he felt that something was wrong.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just heard you guys talking about someone who will definitely be popr. I was a little curious, so I came over to ask who you were talking about.¡± Director Wang tried to appear kind.

    ¡°Director, we were just chatting casually.¡± Everyone was shocked.?<i>Are we going to be scolded for gossiping while eating?</i>

    ¡°I really want to ask. After all, I¡¯m in charge of ourpany¡¯s marketing publicity. I have to know what young people like nowadays. It¡¯s okay, tell me.¡±

    Seeing that Director Wang had no intention of ming them, everyone slowly rxed.

    Everyone was usuallyizens, so they told Director Wang some of the more popr things on the Inte these few days. Director Wang listened very seriously.

    ¡°Alright, thank you everyone. Carry on eating and put it on my tab.¡±

    Director Wang waved at everyone and quickly left the canteen.

    To be able to be the marketing director of the Jun Corporation, he was naturally not a mediocre person. The employees had just reported a lot of hot news, and that Xia Wanyuan had piqued Director Wang¡¯s interest.

    Returning to the office, he searched for Xia Wanyuan. What surprised him was that this female celebrity, who everyone said would be popr, was actually filled with negative news.

    Furthermore, looking at some photos on the encyclopedia, she was always dressed in heavy makeup and had arrogant eyes. There was nothing outstanding about them. They were the type that Director Wang, who had experienced eyes, knew would never be popr.

    Director Wang frowned. This clearly did not meet the Jun Corporation¡¯s requirements for choosing a spokesperson.

    Just as he was about to close the interface, he recalled that everyone had mentioned the zither and song.

    Hence, Director Wang tried to add ¡°ancient zither¡± after the search term, and a lot of videos appeared. They were actually arge number of praises.

    This piqued Director Wang¡¯s interest. He clicked on the video on the Inte.

    Almost instantly, Director Wang knew who the new spokesperson he had found for so long was.

    Ignoring her absolutely beautiful appearance, the cold temperament that Xia Wanyuan exuded in the video, which made one involuntarily want to get close to her, was the most moving.

    He had never seen such a temperament in all his years of marketing.

    Even though he had just seen a lot of negative news about Xia Wanyuan, to be personally promoted by Jun Shiling, Director Wang naturally had the ability to do things decisively.

    He immediately called the Ya Zipany under the Jun Corporation and informed the in-charge of the meeting at the headquarters.

    To be safe, Director Wang thought for a while and still entered Lin Jing¡¯s office.

    ¡°Special Assistant Lin, I¡¯ve found someone based on the requests you told me aboutst time. I think she¡¯s quite suitable for Ya Zi Company. Help me take a look. Does this spokesperson meet CEO Jun¡¯s requirements?¡±

    Lin Jing stopped what he was doing and held up his eyes. ¡°Which one does Director Wang like?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s a newbie. Her image in the past was a little negative, but I feel that she has potential. I don¡¯t think you know her. Her name is Xia Wanyuan. Look at this video. It really has spiritual essence.¡±

    Thinking that Lin Jing definitely didn¡¯t know who Xia Wanyuan was, Director Wang even brought a tablet and showed the video to Lin Jing.

    To his surprise, Lin Jing smiled and nodded at Director Wang without even looking at him. ¡°As expected of a talent personally promoted by Master Jun.¡±

    Lin Jing had always been Jun Shiling¡¯s messenger. With his words, it was equivalent to calming Director Wang down. Director Wang hurriedly thanked him and left Lin Jing¡¯s office.

    Just as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly paused.

    <i>That¡¯s not right. Lin Jing did not even watch the video just now. How did he know that Xia Wanyuan was suitable?</i>

    <i>Could it be that Xia Wanyuan had long been favored?</i>

    <i>Was this Lin Jing¡¯s idea? Or CEO Jun¡¯s?</i>

    But no matter what, after settling the spokesperson¡¯s matter, he could finally rx.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan had just eaten breakfast when Chen Yun came to pick her up and bring her to Qian Xiu Company to film an audition.

    When he arrived at thepany¡¯s entrance, Chen Yun called the person in charge of Qian Xiu, but no one answered.

    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s in a meeting. Let¡¯s go up by ourselves?¡±

 Chapter 121 - Upgrading Conflict

    <h4>Chapter 121: Upgrading Conflict</h4>

    Since she was here to discuss a cooperation, there was no need for Xia Wanyuan to cover her face.

    When she and Chen Yun walked into thepany hall, everyone was stunned by this gorgeous face.

    However, apart from being amazed, there was also an inexplicable strangeness.

    Some nosy people took a photo and posted it online.

    ¡°It looks like Xia Wanyuan is really going to endorse Qian Xiu. I was working at Qian Xiu today and happened to bump into Xia Wanyuan and her managering to Qian Xiu. The photos are evidence.¡±

    There was a photo attached.

    When everyone clicked on the photo, their first impression was not ridicule, but amazement at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in an extremely simple outfit. She was wearing a dark embroidered white shirt that revealed her slender neck. Her skin was as white as snow, and even the most eye-catching white shirt could not steal the brilliance on her face.

    Her straight legs were wrapped in tight jeans, making her legs look 1.8 meters long and full of vigor.

    Her clear eyes were calm and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. She was like a lotus flower that hade out of the water, one that could only be seen from afar and not touched.

    ¡­ Alright. I¡¯m just a dog that goes for looks. I won¡¯t scold her anymore. ]

    [ Although your face is pretty¡­ you can¡¯t endorse Qian Xiu either. ]

    [ A group of love-struck fools. With such looks, there are many of them on the streets. What right does this person have to endorse Qian Xiu? ]

    [ The person in front, you¡¯re too much. Although I hate Xia Wanyuan very much, I won¡¯t agree to it if you say you can get a whole bunch of them on the streets. I¡¯ll give you a hundred dors and you can try to get one for me? ]

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pretty face made the dog-facedizens¡¯ tone lighten, everyone was still very dissatisfied with her wanting to endorse Qian Xiu.

    Furthermore, Ruan Yingyu was also an actress in the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±, and she was also the female lead. Even until now, she had not obtained such a good resource like Qian Xiu, but now, she had allowed Xia Wanyuan to shine.

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans naturally criticized Xia Wanyuan sourly among theizens.

    When Chen Yun and Xia Wanyuan arrived at the filming room that the person in charge of Qian Xiu had mentioned yesterday, they saw that the room was already filled with people.

    A group of people were squeezed outside and could not see what was going on inside. Chen Yun called the in-charge again. This time, the call connected.

    ¡°Hello? Chen Yun? You¡¯re here?¡±

    As the crowd slowly parted, everyone followed the in-charge and slowly looked towards the entrance of the filming room.

    Then, they saw Chen Yun and Xia Wanyuan standing at the door.

    Although everyone had heard of her, this was the first time they had seen Xia Wanyuan. That cold figure who could form an aura with a casual stand overturned everyone¡¯s impression of Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>She was too beautiful.</i>?That was everyone¡¯s first impression.

    <i>It was too awkward.</i>?This was everyone¡¯s second reaction.

    Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan in amazement, then at Ruan Yingyu, who was filming on the stage. They fell into silence.?<i>The entertainment industry was truly scary.</i>

    ¡°Manager Chen, what is the meaning of this?¡± Chen Yun naturally saw Ruan Yingyu, who was being surrounded by cameras and filming. If he still did not understand what had happened, he would be really stupid.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you know that too. We haven¡¯t signed the contract yet, so thepany has the right to choose a spokesperson.¡± The person in charge, Qian Xiu, pretended to apologize. ¡°Ourpany thinks that Miss Ruan is more suitable for thepany¡¯s image. It¡¯s a pity that we forgot to inform you and made youe here for nothing.¡±

    ¡°You!!¡± Seeing the ridicule in everyone¡¯s eyes, Chen Yun felt that he had been yed. Moreover, if he wasn¡¯t stupid and had fallen into someone else¡¯s trap, he wouldn¡¯t have suffered humiliation here with Xia Wanyuan.

    Chen Yun immediately took a step forward and wanted to punch the person in charge in the face.

    At that moment, on Weibo, Qian Xiu Corporation and Ruan Yingyu¡¯s managementpany had jointly posted a Weibo ount with an official endorsement.

    Due to Ruan Yingyu¡¯sck of experience, Qian Xiu gave her the right to endorse a single product.

    Even so, it was still a very glorious thing to be able to get Qian Xiu¡¯s endorsement.

    [ Tsk, tsk. It turns out that the spokesperson is Ruan Yingyu. Is Xia Wanyuan dreaming about it herself? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really shameless. She even dares to use something that isn¡¯t even confirmed to gain attention. Unlike our Yu¡¯er, she actually hid for so long before letting us know this good news!! Ahhh, let¡¯s buy it! ]

    [ Ruan Yingyu is pretty good. After getting the first female lead role, she immediately received Qian Xiu¡¯s endorsement. It looks like she¡¯s going to be ranked as an A-list celebrity. ]

    [ Look at what others have exposed. Xia Wanyuan actually went to Qian Xiu¡¯spany shamelessly, but Ruan Yingyu has already started filming advertisements. Hahaha, how awkward! ]

    In fact, Ruan Yingyu did not have the qualifications to be Qian Xiu¡¯s spokesperson, but with Xia Wanyuan in front, everyone suddenly felt that Ruan Yingyu¡¯s endorsement seemed not bad. At least, it was better than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    When the official Weibo announcement for the endorsement was released, the rted public rtions trending topic was also bought.

    The trending topic ¡°Ruan Yingyu endorsed Qian Xiu¡± gradually appeared in front of everyone. While everyone wasmenting Ruan Yingyu¡¯s good luck, they were also quite disgusted by the fact that Xia Wanyuan had failed to hype herself up and ended up being pped in the face.

    In the studio, seeing that Chen Yun was about to beat up the in-charge, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to protect their manager.

    ¡°Chen Yun.¡± Xia Wanyuan finally spoke. Her clear voice sounded especially pleasant in the silent filming room.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, Chen Yun calmed down. He turned around and looked at Xia Wanyuan with deep guilt in his eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a spokesperson for Qian Xiu. It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s fine not toe to such an immoralpany.¡±

    He had thought that Xia Wanyuan was going to stop the fight. Who would have thought that although Xia Wanyuan did not make a move, she would scold Qian Xiu word for word?

    ¡°Miss Xia, what you said is really interesting. From what I know, there have indeed been a lot of endorsements from Miss Xia recently. It¡¯s normal that Miss Xia doesn¡¯t fancy Qian Xiu¡¯s endorsement. I wonder how long it will take for Miss Xia¡¯s third-rate endorsements to get listed?¡±

    When the person-in-charge said this, it caused everyone tough.

    When the photographers who were surrounding Ruan Yingyu to take photos heard themotion behind them, they temporarily stopped filming and turned around to see what was happening. Their eyes lit up.

    As people who controlled the camera, they naturally knew what kind of person could be so beautiful in front of the camera. Xia Wanyuan had made them feel this potential.

    However, from what the person in charge said, it seemed like Qian Xiu did not fancy Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone looked at Ruan Yingyu, who was still beautiful after her makeup was done, and then at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing quietly and brilliantly.

    They sighed in their hearts.

    ¡°Why is Qian Xiu so lively today? There are so many people here?¡±

    Just as they were in a deadlock, a voice suddenly came from outside. A middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

    When the person-in-charge, Qian Xiu, saw who it was, he immediately put on a fawning smile.

    ¡°CEO Zheng, what brings you here today?¡±

 Chapter 122 - Xiao Baos Not Here, Parents Flew Off

    <h4>Chapter 122: Xiao Bao¡¯s Not Here, Parents Flew Off</h4>

    ¡°Come and take a look. Qian Xiu¡¯s development is not bad.¡± The middle-aged man called CEO Zheng greeted the person in charge of Qian Xiu while looking at Xia Wanyuan quietly.

    !!!!

    <i>As expected, she was someone Director Wang had personally chosen. She was indeed extraordinary.</i>

    ¡°That¡¯s not true. Compared to Ya Zi, we¡¯re really ashamed.¡± The person in charge of Qian Xiu bowed to President Zheng very enthusiastically.

    Ya Zi Corporation was the leading brand in women¡¯s clothing in the country, and the management of thepany had never been easy to get close to. The sun was rising from the west today. The person in charge was ttered that the elegant President Zheng had actuallye to Qian Xiu personally.

    He was not being tactful at all. Qian Xiu was considered a rather famous female clothing brand in the industry, butpared to Ya Zi, they were really far inferior.

    Qian Xiu was a subsidiarypany under Glory World Corporation, but they were not closely connected to the headquarters. Speaking of which, she was equivalent to an adopted child. Compared to a subsidiary of the Jun Corporation like Ya Zi, the resources and support they could receive were much less.

    ¡°What are you busy with?¡± CEO Zheng looked around.

    ¡°We¡¯re currently filming a test film for the spokesperson.¡±

    At that moment, Ruan Yingyu also got off the camera and walked towards President Zheng.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Zheng.¡± Ruan Yingyu put on her sweetest smile. The Ya Zi brand was an endorsement she did not dare to dream of, but it would be good if she could use this opportunity to know Ya Zi¡¯s management.

    ¡°Hello, hello. No wonder Qian Xiu thinks so highly of you. You¡¯re indeed not bad.¡± President Zheng smiled and nodded at Ruan Yingyu.

    Receiving CEO Zheng¡¯s praise, Ruan Yingyu smiled modestly. However, she could not help but look at Xia Wanyuan, her eyes filled with unconceble smugness and bragging.

    ¡°CEO Zheng, wee. It¡¯s chaotic here. Let¡¯s talk in the office.¡± The person in charge hurried forward and wanted to invite President Zheng to the office.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going to the office. I was going to look for Miss Xia, but I saw the news on the Inte on the way and came over.¡± When CEO Zheng said this, everyone was stunned.

    <i>Miss Xia?</i>

    Everyone present could not help but cast their gazes at Xia Wanyuan.

    Unexpectedly,pared to CEO Zheng¡¯s obvious leadership attitude when he faced others just now, CEO Zheng actually took out a name card and handed it to Xia Wanyuan with a good attitude.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. I¡¯m the person in charge of Ya Zi.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled, but she did not feel any hostility from this unfamiliar middle-aged man in front of her, so she lowered her guard and nodded politely.

    ¡°I¡¯ve always heard of Miss Xia¡¯s great name. Seeing you today, you¡¯re indeed outstanding. I wanted to visit Miss Xia¡¯spany first today, but I heard that you were here on the way, so I came straight over.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask. The middle-aged man in front of her had an extraordinary passion.

    ¡°Ya Zi wants to invite you to be ourpany¡¯s spokesperson. It¡¯s a little urgent, so I came over myself. Do you want to go to Ya Zi Corporation now and discuss the relevant cooperation matters?¡±

    Chen Yun was still immersed in deep guilt when he suddenly heard CEO Zheng¡¯s words. He raised his head abruptly, but thinking of Qian Xiu¡¯s mistake, he stopped.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If we agree to it today, we can sign the contract immediately. Our Yazi is definitely apany with industry morals.¡±

    CEO Zheng¡¯s words were clearly pointing out that Qian Xiu had no industry ethics. The person in charge of Qian Xiu looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise and then at the Ya Zi CEO with an ugly expression.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we go and take a look?¡± After receiving CEO Zheng¡¯s guarantee and saying it in front of so many people, Chen Yun turned his head and asked Xia Wanyuan for her opinion.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, CEO Zheng, and the rest left the filming room. The person in charge of Qian Xiu was still in a daze.

    <i>Who could tell me what was going on? Why did a person who could only endorse three products suddenly change and gain Ya Zi¡¯s favor?</i>

    <i>Or could it be that Xia Wanyuan had a background that I did not know about? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. ording to the news I had received, Xia Wanyuan was only a D-list celebrity whose family had suffered a miscarriage.</i>

    Ruan Yingyu watched Xia Wanyuan and CEO Zheng leave, her eyes filled with jealousy.?<i>I had finally snatched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s endorsement away with much difficulty, so why did that woman have a better one?</i>

    The spokesperson that they had clearly abandoned had been taken away by an even higher-ss elegant person. Furthermore, they had been pointed at and scolded for having no industry ethics. At that moment, the employees of Qian Xiu did not feel good.

    Only the photographers who had been watching the entire time looked down on Qian Xiu in their hearts. If they were the person in charge of the brand, they would also choose Xia Wanyuan.?<i>This Qian Xiu was hopeless.</i>

    When he came out of Ya Zi¡¯spany building, Chen Yun still looked as if he was in a dream.?<i>That was Ya Zi. How could they open her arms to Xia Wanyuan when so many big celebrities could not even get the endorsement no matter what?</i>

    Suddenly, Chen Yun thought of a possibility. He looked at Xia Wanyuan mysteriously. ¡°Xiao Xia, do you think CEO Jun helped behind the scenes?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. From the moment they discussed the treatment, she realized that Ya Zi had given her a generous reward and did not ask for much.

    With her current status in the entertainment industry, it was impossible for her to receive such treatment.

    It was already evening when they returned to the manor. Xiao Bao had not gone home, but Jun Shiling had returned very early.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan took out a ss of fruit juice from the fridge and drank it. She felt that her fatigue had dissipated a little.

    After sitting quietly for a while, Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked, ¡°Is Ya Zi from the Jun Corporation?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile.

    ¡°You epted Ya Zi¡¯s endorsement? Are you angry?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had a tenacious personality, and Jun Shiling thought that she didn¡¯t want to ept help from others.

    ¡°Why should I be angry?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise.

    She had never been a person who did not know what was good for her. Although she felt that such an endorsement made her ufortable, she did not want to me Jun Shiling.

    She had always been clear about good intentions and bad intentions.

    ¡°Come and take a look at this.¡± Jun Shiling ced theputer in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    On theputer was Director Wang¡¯s report on the new spokesperson.

    From the report, it was obvious that Director Wang admired Xia Wanyuan very much. Furthermore, he spoke very carefully as if he was extremely worried that Jun Shiling would reject her.

    ¡°If I were the one who instructed them, they wouldn¡¯t have to do this.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with his deep eyes. ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s outstanding enough.¡±

    ¡°En, thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not that conflicted. From Director Wang¡¯s report, she could tell that Jun Shiling did not know about this matter. That trace of displeasure in her heart disappeared immediately.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had put down her worries, Jun Shiling spoke after some deliberation.

    ¡°Grandpa missed Jun Yin. Jun Yin isn¡¯ting back today, shall we go out for dinner?¡±

    ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°Come with me.¡±

 Chapter 123 - Dreams in the Clouds

    <h4>Chapter 123: Dreams in the Clouds</h4>

    She got into the car with Jun Shiling and drove past the tall buildings towards the suburbs.

    Even in the car, Jun Shiling did not neglect his work. Xia Wanyuan watched him flip through the documents page by page and sighed in her heart.

    ¡°I think what you saidst time was wrong,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Taking his attention away from the document, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with confusion in his eyes.

    ¡°If you weren¡¯t the head of the Jun family, the Jun family wouldn¡¯t have developed so well.¡±

    Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Are you praising me?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious?¡± Xia Wanyuan retorted.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s smile became even more obvious. ¡°I¡¯m very honored to be praised by you. It¡¯ll be a while before we reach. Let me chat with you for a while.¡±

    ¡°Sure. Do you guys do this every day when going to work? You don¡¯t stop reading the documents.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Sometimes¡­¡± Jun Shiling patiently exined thepany¡¯s matters to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan liked to chat with Jun Shiling. He was an experienced and patient person. When chatting with him, he really proved an ancient saying. ¡°Listening to a gentleman¡¯s words is better than studying for ten years.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very interested in the various institutions, cultures, and ideologies of modern society. Like a curious child, Jun Shiling patiently exined them to Xia Wanyuan one by one.

    Time passed by unknowingly.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam, we¡¯re here.¡± The car stopped and the chauffeur opened the door.

    Jun Shiling got out of the car first, and the chauffeur tactfully left. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

    ¡°Are we at the peak of the mountain?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was somewhat surprised. She did not expect that they would be on the mountain unknowingly.

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s a little cold on the mountain. Don¡¯t catch a cold,¡± Jun Shiling said as he draped his coat over Xia Wanyuan and led her forward.

    After walking for a short while, arge area of brightly lit buildings appeared in front of him. In this mountain, it was like a wondend.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the food is ready.¡±

    A servant in uniform waited respectfully at the door. In order to wee Jun Shiling¡¯s arrival, the entire Dreams in the Clouds was cleared.

    The chambein led the way in through the open door, which was filled with flowers. Pink roses formed a long, dreamlike corridor.

    Xia Wanyuan had a calm personality, but she also liked beautiful things. After all, there was no woman who did not like to be beautiful.

    There were no roses in the Xia Dynasty. This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen such a beautiful flower, and her eyes lit up.

    ¡°What¡¯s this called? It¡¯s very beautiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. Under the lighting in Dreams in the Clouds, it looked especially dazzling.

    ¡°Rose. If you think it looks good, there can be more in the manor.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. I won¡¯t be staying in the manor for long. I just think that this flower is pretty.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. Thinking of the divorce agreement he had signed back then, he sighed inwardly.

    After a long corridor, they finally arrived at a bright room at the end.

    The servants respectfully led Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in. The lights in the house were gentler than outside.

    The room was filled with flowers, and candles were burning on the table in the middle of the room.

    Jun Shiling pulled out a stool for Xia Wanyuan and sat opposite her.

    ¡°Let¡¯s celebrate. Congrattions on getting the endorsement.¡±

    Jun Shiling raised his ss at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you for my future big boss¡¯s encouragement?¡± Xia Wanyuan also raised her wine ss.

    Jun Shilingughed. Ya Zi was a subsidiary of the Jun Corporation. Speaking of which, he could be considered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s future boss.

    After clinking sses, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan ate quietly.

    In the hall, the extra servants had already retreated. In the middle of the hall, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sat opposite each other, looking exceptionally peaceful and harmonious.

    After the meal, Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go out for a walk,¡± Jun Shiling suggested.

    The reason why Dreams in the Clouds was called Dreams in the Clouds was because it was located in the clouds at the peak of the mountain. Other than the quality of its service, its most attractive point was the night view here.

    After following Jun Shiling for a while, they passed through a forest and the entire capital appeared in front of them.

    The top of the Cloud Mountain was high, and Dreams in the Clouds was built on it. Standing at the peak of the mountain, one could look down on the entire capital city.

    The lights gathered into a sea of stars.

    The weather was good that night. The clouds were thin, and the stars in the sky were bright.

    At the end of his gaze, the sky connected to the capital. One could not tell if the stars in the sky had fallen to the ground or if the lights on the ground had risen to the sky.

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. I didn¡¯t know there was such a ce in the city. Do youe here often?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the observation chair by the side, and the stars in front of her fell into her eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s my first time here.¡±

    The mountains were quiet, except for the sound of the gentle breeze rustling the leaves.

    Xia Wanyuan half leaned on the chair while Jun Shiling stood behind her. Xia Wanyuan was looking at the scenery in front of her while the people behind her were looking at her.

    By the time they returned to the manor, it was already veryte.

    Because Xiao Bao was not around tonight, only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were left, which made things a little awkward.

    ¡°You sleep in the master bedroom. I¡¯ll go to the bedroom next door.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unnatural behavior, Jun Shiling took the initiative to mention it.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the courtyard house, Xiao Bao was lying in the old man¡¯s arms, his good-looking face frowning.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, my dear great-grandson? Weren¡¯t you fine just now?¡± Seeing that Xiao Bao was unhappy, the old man¡¯s heart clenched.

    ¡°I miss Mommy and Daddy.¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao felt so wronged that tears were about to fall.

    ¡°Aiyo, my good great-grandson, don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll send you back tomorrow morning, okay?¡±

    ¡°No, Daddy said that Great-grandfather missed me. I want to spend more time with him.¡± Although he missed Xia Wanyuan very much, Xiao Bao felt that Great-grandfather missed him too.

    ¡°Good boy.¡± Although his grandson was cold all the time, this obedient great-grandson was really obedient and sensible. ¡°Does your mother sleep with you every night?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Bao nodded.

    The old master¡¯s impression of Xia Wanyuan increased a little.?<i>She was still a good mother. No wonder Xiao Bao was so clingy.</i>

    Daddy too,¡± Xiao Bao added.

    ¡°Mm. Huh?!¡± The old master was shocked. ¡°You¡¯re saying that your parents sleep with you every night?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Great-grandfather.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened.?<i>What was so strange about that?</i>?¡°The teacher said that the whole family sleeps together.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. It¡¯ste. Sleep, good boy.¡±

    Old Master was overjoyed. He knew Jun Shiling¡¯s character very well. Jun Shiling had always hated others getting close to him. If he didn¡¯t want to, Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter the bedroom. How could she sleep on the same bed as Jun Shiling?

    <i>My cold grandson must have fallen for her.</i>

 Chapter 124 - Sleeping Together Again

    <h4>Chapter 124: Sleeping Together Again</h4>

    The capital was located in the north. At the end of spring, the weather had always changed drastically.

    It was just a moment ago that the sky was filled with stars, but now, a strong wind was blowing outside the window.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan came out of the bathroom, the wind outside was pounding on the window.

    Xia Wanyuan had a small habit. She was a little afraid of the dark, but it didn¡¯t mean that she couldn¡¯t sleep without someone apanying her.

    The main reason was that the world had not been peaceful in the past. Her younger siblings were still young, so Xia Wanyuan had to be vignt at night. If there was any movement, she had to be alert.

    The hair that had just been washed was wet. Xia Wanyuan wiped it with a towel and blew on the hairdryer for a while. Her hair was already half dry. Just as she was about to change her hand, her vision suddenly darkened and her entire world fell into darkness.

    <i>ckout?</i>?Xia Wanyuan was somewhat puzzled.?<i>There was actually a ckout in the manor?</i>

    ¡°Butler Wang, due to the strong wind, a circuit in the main building has been broken. We have already organized people to repair it. It will return to normal within three minutes.¡±

    The main building was where Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan lived. The electrical circuits had actually gone wrong in the main building, and the employees were filled with trepidation.

    ¡°Other than the electrical appliances, are the other parts operating normally?¡± Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang did not me them.

    ¡°Butler Wang, the other parts of the building are operating normally, but the appliances in the main building cannot be restored for the time being.¡±

    The electrical circuits in the manor had been designed by experts from all over. In order to ensure safety, there were many routes.

    For example, the security and electronics in the building were not using the same circuit. Hence, what had been broken by the wind was only the electronics circuit. It did not have much impact on other parts of the building.

    ¡°Xiao Li, fix the circuit. Don¡¯t be in a hurry to send the electricity. Young Master and Madam are already asleep at this time. There¡¯s no need to disturb them. Restart it tomorrow morning.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Butler Wang was an old man in the manor. Although he did not understand why Butler Wang did this, there was nothing wrong with listening to Butler Wang.

    Hence, the employees revised the wires and left. The entire main building was still dark.

    Xia Wanyuan waited for a while, but there was still no call. She touched her hair. Fortunately, it was almost dry.

    The violent wind outside the window had slowly subsided, followed by heavy rain and lightning.

    The deafening lightning seemed to split the world into two. The heavy rain kept hitting the window, making a sound as if it was going to break through the window in the next second.

    No one knew where the wind blew, but it let out a mournful whimper. In the darkness, those who heard it felt their hearts tremble.

    Xia Wanyuan hesitated for three seconds before decisively picking up her phone.

    The call was picked up almost instantly.

    ¡°Hello.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I¡¯m a little afraid.¡±

    ¡°Open the door.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan groped for the door under the light of her phone. When she opened the door, Jun Shiling was standing at the door.

    ¡°Uncle Wang called. He said that the electrical route for the main building has been cut by the wind and will only recover tomorrow morning.¡± Jun Shiling closed the door and followed Xia Wanyuan into the house.

    ¡°Alright, thank goodness I¡¯ve already taken a shower and dried my hair.¡±

    The electricity in the manor had never stopped for more than three minutes, so there were no lighting devices prepared for candles or anything like that. Jun Shiling could only turn on the light of his phone.

    ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯ll go over after you sleep.¡± Jun Shiling sat by the bed. ¡°You must be tired after the trip to the mountain today.¡±

    ¡°Just sleep here then.¡±

 Chapter 125 - Sweet Torture

    <h4>Chapter 125: Sweet Torture</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Jun Shiling turned around in shock and saw Xia Wanyuan yawning tiredly.

    Xia Wanyuan was not a coy person. In any case, it was not as if she had never slept on the same bed before. Jun Shiling was a gentleman, and she was a little afraid of the dark, so she decided to let Jun Shiling stay and sleep.

    ?

    ¡°I¡¯m so tired. Goodnight.¡± He yawned again. Under the light of the phone, Jun Shiling could see the hazy tears in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Okay. Good night.¡±

    With Jun Shiling by her side, Xia Wanyuan was extremely at ease. Because she had been rushing around at night, she was a little tired and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow.

    Jun Shiling took off his shoes and got into bed. When he turned around, Xia Wanyuan had already fallen into a deep sleep. Her exquisite facial features appeared even more gentle and beautiful under the light.

    Jun Shiling switched off the light on his phone and the room fell into darkness again.

    Xia Wanyuan was sound asleep, but Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t sleep. The faint fragrance of Xia Wanyuan lingered at the tip of his nose, not to mention that Xiao Bao was gone tonight.

    In the past, because he had a child in the middle, his mind was calm.

    Today, he could almost touch Xia Wanyuan once he reached his hand out, and Jun Shiling felt a little hot.

    He turned his head and used the lightning to see Xia Wanyuan sleeping peacefully. Jun Shiling smiled bitterly.

    On one hand, he was happy because Xia Wanyuan trusted him. On the other hand, he was helpless because Xia Wanyuan had overestimated hisposure.

    The little dumpling that she always carried out of habit had disappeared. Xia Wanyuan felt that her arms were empty.

    Her mind was still asleep, but her body subconsciously searched for the warm source that she was used to.

    It took Jun Shiling a lot of effort to suppress the agitation in his heart. Sleepiness gradually overwhelmed him. The faint fragrance at the tip of his nose suddenly became rich, and his arm was hugged.

    Jun Shiling turned around in surprise and saw Xia Wanyuan on his shoulder. The space between the two of them that could have had another person was gone.

    It was a chilly night at the end of spring. Xia Wanyuan crawled out of her nket, only wearing a nightgown. She leaned against Jun Shiling and hugged his arm until it was a little cold.

    Jun Shiling sighed deeply in his heart and lifted the nket.

    Sensing the warmth, Xia Wanyuan rolled into Jun Shiling¡¯s nket without needing Jun Shiling to do anything.

    Due to the habit of hugging Xiao Bao to sleep for a long time, Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling almost instantly when she got close.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing paused and he clenched his fists.

    It was pitch-ck in the bedroom. It was because of this that the feeling on his body became even more obvious.

    Xia Wanyuan clung tightly to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling could directly feel the heat from Xia Wanyuan and the softness that he wanted to ignore but could not.

    ¡°Mother Queen,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly called out softly, her tone filled with unease.

    The agitation in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart dissipated. He lowered his head to look at Xia Wanyuan. An extremely bright bolt of lightning exploded outside the window, and Jun Shiling could clearly see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tightly furrowed brows.

    He reached out a hand and wrapped it around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, letting her rest on his arm. His palm gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, and her breathing gradually calmed.

    He deliberately ignored the gentleness that came from Xia Wanyuan, but the more he wanted to ignore it, the more sensitive his senses became. Jun Shiling did not sleep the entire night.

    Feeling the warmth of the sun, Xia Wanyuan, who had slept her fill, slowly woke up. However, just as her consciousness returned, she sensed that something was wrong.

 Chapter 126 - Master Jun Coughs in Excitement

    <h4>Chapter 126: Master Jun Coughs in Excitement</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly opened her eyes and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s face close to hers.

    Jun Shiling seemed to be sleeping very soundly. The sleeping Jun Shiling was no longer as cold as when he was awake, and he looked more peaceful.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and realized how intimate she was with Jun Shiling.

    Her hands were wrapped around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, and her head was resting on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. Her entire body was nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, and the two of them could be considered as close as ever.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was not particr about trifles, she had never had such intimate contact with a man before. Her face flushed red, and she moved back.

    Sensing movement, Jun Shiling slowly opened his eyes.

    Jun Shiling seemed to be in bad spirits. His eyes were tired and bloodshot. He had only slept for less than two hours since he fell asleep in the morning.

    ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Xia Wanyuan withdrew from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, feeling a little unnatural and confused.

    ¡°Do you have a habit of hugging pillows when you sleep?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely hoarse and filled with sleepiness, but it had to be said that it was very sexy.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned. Then, she saw that Jun Shiling was sleeping obediently under his nket. As for her, she was thousands of miles away from where she was sleeping.

    Realizing that she had ¡°thrown herself into his arms¡±, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll go and wash up first.¡± Then, she panicked and prepared to get off the bed. However, she got up too quickly and stepped on the side of her nightgown. She did not stop and fell into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°¡­¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted and helplessness shed across his eyes. ¡°I became a pillow at night. Do I have to be a sandbag when I wake up in the morning?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s maic voice with a smile sounded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. As if she had been steamed red, Xia Wanyuan rolled out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms as if she was escaping, then entered the bathroom.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flustered back view, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes curved into a clear smile.

    However, halfway through hisughter, it turned into a bitter smile.?<i>This woman really tested my endurance too much.</i>

    It was early in the morning. Jun Shiling was a normal man. With the warm and soft jade rolling into his arms, and it was even Xia Wanyuan, who was the woman at the top of his heart, how could his blood not surge?

    However, Xia Wanyuan acted as if Jun Shiling was a gentleman, so she trusted him very much. Jun Shiling shook his head helplessly. He really could not do anything to her.

    Until breakfast, Xia Wanyuan did not dare to look into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. Her cheeks were not red, but they were as beautiful as peach blossoms.

    After breakfast, Jun Shiling went to work while Xia Wanyuan took a taxi to the Xia family¡¯spany.

    Shen Qian was indeed capable and very good at winning people¡¯s hearts. When the group of brothers who followed him back then heard that Shen Qian had changed jobs, they all expressed their willingness to follow Shen Qian to the Xia family.

    Although these few people were young, like Shen Qian, they were all good seedlings who came out of Qing University back then. They had been following Shen Qian around for so many years, and every single one of them could stand firmly in the department.

    Their willingness to join the Xia family¡¯spany was a huge fortune to thepany. Talents were much more important than money.

    ¡°Brother Shen, what kind of person is the new Chairman of the Xia family?¡± Everyone surrounded Shen Qian.

    They also knew that the new chairman had given Shen Qian 10% of his shares in a short time. They admired this kind of decisive boss and wanted to see this new chairman as soon as possible.

    ¡°She¡¯s someone who surprised you.¡± Shen Qian had a profound expression.?<i>My friends are so looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival. When they really see her, probably no one would believe her.</i>

    Everyone looked at each other.?<i>What kind of person was he? Was he superhuman? Why was Brother Shen so crazy?</i>

    Not long after, there was a knock on Shen Qian¡¯s office door.

    ¡°Pleasee in.¡±

    The door was pushed open and a stunning figure appeared at the door.

    Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a smoky green suit. Her long ck hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look as radiant as the spring sun and as bright as the autumn moon.

    Everyone in the office was stunned. Although Shen Qian had already seen Xia Wanyuan, he was still amazed by her again.

    ¡°This is?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter the office as if no one was around, everyone looked at Shen Qian in confusion.

    <i>I heard that Brother Shen had broken up with his girlfriend. Could this be Brother Shen¡¯s new girlfriend? F*ck, she¡¯s much prettier than the previous one. Although the previous one was quite pretty,pared to this woman in front of him, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.</i>

    Unexpectedly, Shen Qian stood up and gave up his seat. He led Xia Wanyuan to a chair respectfully and sat down. Then he looked at the puzzled crowd.

    ¡°This is Chairman Xia.¡±

    ???????????

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After the person in charge of Ya Zi left Qian Xiu Corporation with Xia Wanyuan, the person in charge of Qian Xiu gave the order not to let the employees leak the news.

    Hence, other than the employees present, no one else knew that Xia Wanyuan had signed a contract with Ya Zi.

    Ruan Yingyu had obtained the endorsement of Qian Xiu. This was a good way to improve her image, so her managementpany had bought a trending topic for several days.

    Furthermore, in the contract she had signed with the Inte Water Army, there was one that had stepped on Xia Wanyuan to support Ruan Yingyu.

    After all, both of them were actresses from the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. When the drama came out, people would definitelypare them.

    It was better to start now and directly create an image of the two of them not being on the same level. It would be much easier to do marketing when the drama came out.

    Hence, wherever Ruan Yingyu endorsed Qian Xiu, there were discussions about Xia Wanyuan sticking close to Qian Xiu.

    [ Does anyone know how Xia Wanyuan reacted after she entered Qian Xiu and saw that the person they signed on was Ruan Yingyu? She must be furious. ]

    [ Tsk, what other reaction can there be? She¡¯s probably as angry as a lemon spirit. ]

    [ Speaking of which, why isn¡¯t there any more news? Did Xia Wanyuan cause a scene at Qian Xiu Corporation? With her arrogant personality. ]

    [ The person in front, although Xia Wanyuan used to be quite arrogant, I saw her ying the zither live. That calm and indifferent look of hers really doesn¡¯t seem to be fake. ]

    [ Which person in the entertainment industry isn¡¯t packaged? Although I didn¡¯t watch the live broadcast, I can tell with my toes that it must have been fake. How could she really y such a nice song? I don¡¯t know how many post-production special effects she used. Only idiots like you will believe her. ]

    [ I guess Xia Wanyuan is probably hiding somewhere crying right now. Pfft, she deserves it. She shouldn¡¯t have coveted something in the first ce, but she insisted on sticking to it. ]

    [ That¡¯s enough from you guys. How dare you nder Xia Wanyuan. Go and take a look at Ya Zi¡¯stest Weibo post. I really don¡¯t know whose face you¡¯re pping. ]

    Following the reminder in thements, theizens clicked onto Ya Zi¡¯s Weibo and were collectively stunned.

 Chapter 127 - Ya Zis Official Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 127: Ya Zi¡¯s Official Announcement</h4>

    Ya Zi had always been a ¡°wonder¡± existence in the industry.

    With its strong background, Jun Corporation was behind Ya Zi. It was a wonder because of its legend in its evesting sales. As the most famous female clothing brand in China, it had always maintained its position as the leader of the industry in the recent hundred years.

    The most confusing thing was the selection criteria for its spokesperson.

    In order to increase their fame, the spokesperson of other brands would choose popr celebrities as their spokesperson every year or two.

    However, Yazi herself was the biggest signboard. From the moment it was established until now, less than five spokespersons had appeared in history.

    It had been twenty years since the previous spokesperson.

    It had been so long that people had gotten used to the fact that Ya Zi did not have a spokesperson.

    But today, Ya Zi¡¯s official Weibo ount, which was always in the corner, suddenly appeared.

    @ Ya Zi¡¯s Official Weibo: ¡°It has been a hundred years since Ya Zi¡¯s first outfit was introduced to the public. This year, Ya Zi will wee a new spokesperson and start Ya Zi¡¯s next hundred years with her.¡±

    Then, Weibo showed that Ya Zi¡¯s official Weibo ount had followed a new user¡ªXia Wanyuan.

    [? If Weibo doesn¡¯t have a bug, I have a bug. ]

    [ If I¡¯m not wrong, Ya Zi must have followed Xia Wanyuan. Are you kidding me? It¡¯s been so many years, and so many people have wanted to ask for Ya Zi¡¯s endorsement, but they haven¡¯t been able to. What right does Xia Wanyuan have? ]

    [ Ya Zi is really so low¡­ ]

    [ The person in front, you can say that Qian Xiu is low, but you¡¯re talking about Ya Zi? If she was low-ss, how could she not rely on any publicity to upy the first ce in the sales volume of female clothing in the country every year? And she¡¯s the kind that can¡¯t even be seen by the taillights of the second ce winner. ]

    [ I wanted to say if Xia Wanyuan had bribed Ya Zi, but thinking of Ya Zi¡¯s big boss backer, I feel like I¡¯m crazy. ]

    [ I guess Xia Wanyuan is only endorsing a single-tier product of Ya Zi. For example, a quarter or a theme. Hasn¡¯t there been a precedent before? ]

    [ Even if it¡¯s a single-tier product, it doesn¡¯t match Xia Wanyuan at all, okay? How many first-rate female celebrities want to get Ya Zi¡¯s single-tier endorsement? Which one of them gets it? Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t even have the right to carry Ya Zi¡¯s shoes. ]

    Although Ya Zi kept a low profile, its poprity was still there. In addition, Xia Wanyuan had the constitution of an ¡°inte celebrity¡±. This Weibo post instantly caused a heated discussion.

    However, very quickly, while everyone was still debating whether the single product endorsed by Xia Wanyuan was quarterly or monthly, Ya Zi officially posted another Weibo post.

    @ Ya Zi¡¯s Official Weibo: ¡°She is the wind of summer, light and nimble. She is the moon in the forest, bright and clear. It is the hundredth year of Ya Zi¡¯s life. We are lucky to wee the spokesperson of Ya Zi¡¯s entire production line, Xia Wanyuan. I hope that in the future, we will travel together and forge glory together.¡±

    The apanying photos were publicity photos taken when Xia Wanyuan went to Ya Zi to sign the contract.

    Although she had taken the photos while she was coincidentally there, she had put on makeup and changed into Ya Zi¡¯s clothes.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had never been involved in taking ne photos, her temperament was outstanding. With a casual shot, she took an extremely outstanding photo. At that time, Ya Zi¡¯s photographer praised her as he took the photos.

    The photo that Ya Zi had released was one of them.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing the new summer product that Ya Zi was about tounch.

    The new product used orchids as the main marketing theme. The light purple chiffon shirt on Xia Wanyuan had broken through the soft characteristics of the chiffon shirt. It was designed to create a cor shirt, but it also maintained the soft design of the sleeves and cor.

    It was abination of hardness and gentleness, while Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes and beautiful but not demonic temperament brought out all the highlight of this dress.

    [ F*ck¡­ Why does it look a little good¡­ ]

    [+1¡­ Ahhh, no¡­ I¡¯m here to insult Xia Wanyuan! ]

    [ Um, can I have a link to the clothes? ]

    [ Didn¡¯t you notice the spokesperson for the entire production line? ]

    [? !!! Entire production line!!! F*ck!!! I¡¯m shocked.]

    [ This world is so magical. I want to say that Ya Zi is low, but her ability is obvious. I want to say that Xia Wanyuan is low, but she¡¯s actually the spokesperson for Ya Zi¡¯s online product. Which person in the domestic entertainment industry can have this honor¡­ ]

    [ Actually, based on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo alone, she has really brought out the essence of Ya Zi. Doesn¡¯t choosing a spokesperson mean that she has to show off her product¡¯s characteristics? Who said that it has to be obvious to choose a big shot? ]

    [ The person in front, I think you¡¯re right¡­ ]

    People in the industry had originally estimated that this union between Ya Zi and Xia Wanyuan would causerge-scale criticism, and after Ya Zi chose Xia Wanyuan, she might even face a decline in reputation.

    However, what happened was unexpected.

    Over the years, the country¡¯s economy had developed greatly and the entertainment industry had be more prosperous. A-list celebrities often had arge number of fans. The more fans they had, the more purchasing power they had.

    Hence, all the major brands began to use big-name celebrities as their spokespersons in order to seek short-term profits. Furthermore, because the celebrities in the entertainment industry changed quickly, the spokesperson for the corporations¡¯ brands changed once a year, not mentioning any long-term endorsement images.

    In this cooperation between Ya Zi and Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo was truly outstanding and eye-catching. It was verypatible with the core image of Ya Zi¡¯s brand.

    This led to the question of whether one had to target big celebrities to be the spokesperson. The overwhelming criticism directed at Xia Wanyuan did not appear.

    Even on the forums of Tieba, there was a storm of discussion. Everyone released the video of Xia Wanyuan ying the piano and singing when she was a broadcaster, and then analyzed Ya Zi¡¯s position and reason for choosing Xia Wanyuan. This gained a lot of support.

    At the Jun Corporation¡¯s routine meeting, after everyone reported their daily work for the week, Jun Shiling praised Director Wang for being daring and innovative, giving him a bonus.

    Director Wang was ttered. Jun Shiling rarely praised people. To be praised by Jun Shiling was even more delightful than a bonus.

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, let¡¯s end the meeting.¡± As Jun Shiling spoke, he let out a rare yawn.

    Everyone left calmly on the surface, but they were puzzled. Their CEO Jun had always been meticulous and always looked energetic whenever he appeared. He looked like a man of steel.

    <i>What was wrong with him today? I could actually see a hint of fatigue from CEO Jun.</i>

    But on second thought, that made sense.?<i>CEO Jun was busy every day. He must have worked overtime untiltest night. Sigh, it was too tiring for him.</i>

 Chapter 128 - Visiting

    <h4>Chapter 128: Visiting</h4>

    After Xia Wanyuan arrived at thepany, she held a meeting with everyone in Shen Qian¡¯s office. She discussed the sry and treatment of the people who came with Shen Qian and then left.

    ¡°Oh my god, it feels like a dream.¡±

    ¡°Pinch me. Is this true¡­¡±

    Everyone was still in a daze as they watched Xia Wanyuan leave the office.

    They were shocked when Shen Qian said that this extremely beautiful woman was thepany¡¯s chairman.

    Then, the generous treatment Xia Wanyuan had given them left them speechless. Although their abilities were not bad, they were still young andcked experience. Although they could find a good position in the industry, the treatment Xia Wanyuan had given them was truly unique.

    They had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a rich youngdy who did not know anything about the world. She had only given them such a high price because she had wanted to buy apany to y with on a whim and did not know much about sry and treatment.

    Who would have thought that during the meeting just now, Xia Wanyuan had a unique understanding of many problems? Her thinking was sharp and precise. Their discussion was actually very professional. Xia Wanyuan did not appear to be ayman at all. Instead, she had unique ideas on many proposals.

    ¡°Where did this gode from?¡± Li Yong could not help but sigh. ¡°Director Xia looks like she¡¯s only 20. How can she make me, a 30-year-old, blush with shame? She¡¯s amazing.¡±

    Shen Qian listened to his friend¡¯s sigh and recalled how he had searched for Xia Wanyuan online on a whim. The news reports that came out had mixed feelings.

    After leaving thepany, Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to buy something before going to Xia Yu¡¯s school.

    Xia Wanyuan was originally sitting in the car and looking at the school environment when she suddenly saw Xia Yu ying basketball on the field, so she asked the chauffeur to stop the car.

    After entering the basketball court, Xia Wanyuan found a quiet corner and watched Xia Yu y basketball.

    On the basketball court, the youths were sweating profusely.

    ¡°Xia Yu, watch the ball!¡± Su Mei swayed and passed the ball to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took the ball and dodged his opponent¡¯s intercept. A beautiful three-pointernded in the basketball hoop with a parab.

    ¡°Wow ~ ¡Ñ o ¡Ñ Well done!¡±

    The court was supposed to be filled with boys, but today, the court was filled with countless youngdies who were looking at Xia Yu with starry eyes.

    Under the sunlight, because of his exercise, his exquisite face was covered in ayer of sweat, but it could not hide his youthful vigor. He was like a bubble water that had been iced in summer, fresh and warm.

    After one round, Xia Yu got off the stage. Many girls came forward to give him water.

    Impatience shed across Xia Yu¡¯s eyes. He ignored the towel and mineral water that was handed to him and had the words ¡°strangers keep away¡± written on his exquisite face.

    Just as one of his feet was about to step out of the field door, he looked towards the corner as if he had sensed something. His eyes suddenly lit up.

    ¡°Sister.¡±

    A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yu¡¯s cold face as he jogged towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone followed Xia Yu¡¯s gaze and their first thought was,?<i>¡®How could there be such a good-looking person?!¡¯</i>

    Then, he watched as Xia Yu turned into a puppy.

    The hearts of the girls present shattered.

    ¡°Does Junior Xia Yu have a girlfriend?¡±

    ¡°No, that¡¯s Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s his sister. Don¡¯t you guys read Weibo?¡±

    !!!

    Their broken hearts felt alive again!

 Chapter 129 - Visiting the Jun Corporation Again

    <h4>Chapter 129: Visiting the Jun Corporation Again</h4>

    Before anyone could react, Xia Yu had already obediently followed Xia Wanyuan out of the door.

    When they finally reacted, they hurriedly took out their phones and took a video.

    ¡°Sister, why are you here?¡±

    ¡°I came to bring you something to eat and use.¡±

    Other than what Jun Shiling had given him, Xia Yu had the money to buy things, as his live-stream was very popr now, and the tform paid him a lot of money every month.

    However, the meaning of the items being sent over by his family was always different. Xia Yu was overjoyed.

    ¡°There¡¯s a little too much stuff. Ask your roommates toe and get it together.¡± The previous time Xia Yu came home, he had mentioned to Xia Wanyuan that his roommates were pretty nice. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had bought a lot of things for them.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Yu said and waved at the field. ¡°Su Mei,e here.¡±

    Now, no one in the entire field was ying ball anymore. Everyone watched Xia Yu quietly. Although Xia Wanyuan had a bad reputation online, as a celebrity, she was still such a beautiful celebrity, and everyone was very interested.

    Most importantly, she was Xia Yu¡¯s sister.?<i>She might even be my future sister,</i>?everyone thought.

    Su Mei and the rest ran to Xia Wanyuan under everyone¡¯s gazes.

    ¡°Hello, Sister Xia.¡± The few boys who were usually eloquent in debates were now blushing and embarrassed.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled kindly. ¡°I heard from Xia Yu about you, thank you for your usual care.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, you¡¯re too kind. Thank you for theputer you bought for us.¡±

    Ever since they knew that Xia Yu was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother, everyone had always said what they would do when they saw Xia Wanyuan in the future. However, they had truly seen her, and it was even when they were at such a close distance.

    These little boys were too embarrassed to look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite face.

    However, in front of these juniors, Xia Wanyuan deliberately rxed her aura, appearing very approachable.

    There was still a distance from Xia Yu¡¯s dormitory, so Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to drive beside her while she walked slowly with Xia Yu and the rest.

    After a few words, everyone slowly put down their reservations in front of Xia Wanyuan and lively surrounded her to talk about the interesting things that usually happened in the dormitory.

    Those passers-by who saw this scene secretly took photos and posted them online.

    When they arrived at the dormitory, Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to open the trunk.

    ¡°I bought some food and supplies. You all have a share. Go and distribute them.¡±

    Everyone walked to the trunk and took a look. They gasped in their hearts.?<i>¡®Can you call this some?¡¯</i>

    In the end, each of them carried some things on their shoulders and held others in their hands, before they could barely finish carrying them.

    ¡°Goodbye, Sister Xia.¡±

    ¡°Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at them before getting into the car and leaving.

    Hence, Xia Yu and the other three who were holding a bunch of things were extremely eye-catching in the boys¡¯ dormitory.

    ¡°Wow, thetest pair of CL shoes. You guys are rich. You bought four pairs at once.¡±

    When they went upstairs, they bumped into their ssmates. Everyone was shocked.

    ¡°Hehe, Xia Yu¡¯s sister bought it for us.¡±

    ¡°F*ck, I¡¯m so envious. Xia Yu, do you stillck a roommate? Can you let mee? Or does your sisterck a younger brother? I can.¡±

    ¡°Fuck you.¡±

    After leaving the campus, Xia Wanyuan wanted to return to the manor directly, but Jun Shiling called and said that she couldn¡¯t go back to the manor for the time being and asked her to go to thepany to look for him first.

    Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to change the route.

 Chapter 130 - Sea of Roses

    <h4>Chapter 130: Sea of Roses</h4>

    The chauffeur was about to take Xia Wanyuan to the Jun Corporation, when Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled something and asked the chauffeur to return to the apartment building not far away.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan came down, she had already changed.

    Many people had taken photos at Xia Yu¡¯s school just now. If she entered the Jun Corporation building without changing her clothes, she would definitely be exposed.

    ¡°I saw CEO Jun on the first floor for the third time this month. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯m guessing that the mysterious woman is here again.¡±

    ¡°I guess so. I¡¯m so envious, jealous, and hateful. I really want to know who it is that could make CEO Jun, the flower of high mountains, fall.¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling walk out the door, the staff at the front desk discussed secretly behind his back.

    As expected, not long after, Jun Shiling walked in side by side with a slender woman.

    From her height and build, she was the same person.

    After returning to Jun Shiling¡¯s office, Xia Wanyuan was more natural than before.

    ¡°There¡¯s an unfinished project in the manor. Sit down first. I¡¯ll be back after a meeting.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan was already half-lying on the sofa. She even pulled the nket over her feet.

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan, and ced it beside him.

    Then, he left with a stack of documents. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and leisurely read.

    ¡°Young Master Jun, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so romantic. Aiyo, that manor¡­¡±

    Bo Xiao pushed open the office door excitedly, but he did not see Jun Shiling. After patrolling for a while, he saw Xia Wanyuan, who was turning her head to look at the door.

    Hence, Bo Xiao swallowed his words.

    ¡°Sister-inw.¡± Bo Xiao stopped teasing and addressed her seriously.

    ¡°En, Mr. Bo.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Sister-inw, you can call me Bo Xiao.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was not around, Bo Xiao stopped walking in.

    ¡°Okay, Jun Shiling has gone for a meeting. He¡¯ll probably be backter. You can wait for him for a while.¡±

    Bo Xiao shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious anyway. I¡¯lle over another day. Goodbye, Sister-inw.¡±

    With that, Bo Xiao closed the office door. He had originally gone to the manor first, but who would have thought that the manor was so busy?

    In the past, he had also guessed what Jun Shiling would be like when he fell in love. He did not expect to really see it this time.

    <i>Tsk, tsk. As expected of Master Jun. He¡¯s even better at dating than the rest.</i>

    In the meeting room, his subordinate was still talking about the event n. Jun Shiling raised his arm to look at the time and frowned slightly.

    Lin Jing, who was sitting at the side, observed this very tactfully.

    ¡°CEO Jun, it¡¯s almost lunchtime. There are so many people in the canteen. If we gote, we might run out of food. Why don¡¯t we continue after lunch?¡±

    Hearing Lin Jing¡¯s words, everyone present was a little confused.

    Not talking about the fact that they were executives and rarely went to the employees¡¯ canteen, they could order takeout. Wasn¡¯t Lin Jing afraid that Boss Jun would think that they werezy?

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s end the meeting. We¡¯ll continue in the afternoon.¡± Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling agreed readily.

    <i>???? When did President Jun be so humane?</i>

    <i>The Jun Corporation had given us a lot of money and they were also humane, how touching. I feel like I can earn another billion for the boss!</i>

    Lin Jing followed Jun Shiling into the office. As expected, he saw a familiar figure.

    ¡°Madam.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡±

    After a simple greeting, Lin Jing put down the lunch box and left.

    Jun Shiling ced the food on the table. ¡°Stop ying and eat.¡±

    ¡°Mm, Jun Shiling, you¡¯re amazing. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve lost much in the battles you¡¯ve yed for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her phone and took the chopsticks from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I¡¯m not bad.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s ears turned a little red.

    Awkwardly, the food that was delivered this time still had green beans that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t like.

    This time, Jun Shiling did not say that Xia Wanyuan was picky. Instead, he very naturally ced the green beans in his bowl and scooped the meat into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    After a meal, Xia Wanyuan had the habit of taking afternoon breaks. Shey on the sofa and pulled the nket over her.

    At the side, Jun Shiling brought out a pillow from somewhere and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ??

    ¡°One pillow is enough for me. There¡¯s no need.¡±

    ¡°This pillow will be your bolster for you to hug.¡±

    It would have been better if Jun Shiling hadn¡¯t said anything. Once he did, Xia Wanyuan recalled how she had treated Jun Shiling as a pillowst night and rolled into his arms to sleep the entire night.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone had a hint of coquettishness that she did not realize. Then, she turned around and left the back of her head to Jun Shiling. However, her blood-red earlobe betrayed the embarrassment and confusion in her heart.

    Jun Shiling smiled and ced the pillow beside the sofa. Then, he lowered his voice and handled the task beside the desk.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan woke up in the afternoon, the documents Jun Shiling had reviewed were already half a meter tall.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Is the pillow good?¡± Xia Wanyuan was still a little sleepy from her nap when Jun Shiling suddenly asked.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and realized that she was hugging the pillow Jun Shiling had thrown at her.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡°Go back to the manor if you¡¯re awake. I¡¯m almost done with work.¡± Jun Shiling capped his pen and stood up.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket.

    On the way, Xia Wanyuan had asked Jun Shiling what was being repaired in the manor and why it had been repaired for almost a day, but Jun Shiling kept quiet.

    Just as they were about to reach the door, Jun Shiling suddenly made Xia Wanyuan close her eyes.

    ¡°For what?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was somewhat puzzled.

    ¡°Let me show you something. Close your eyes first.¡±

    Knowing that Jun Shiling wouldn¡¯t hurt her, Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes without worry.

    Sensing that the car had stopped not long after entering the manor, Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

    Xia Wanyuan smelled a faint sweet fragrance in the air. This smell was a little familiar.

    ¡°Open your eyes and take a look.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, stunned by the scene before her.

    Everything in sight was filled with roses. The garden that was as big as a few football fields was filled with pots of roses that gathered into an ocean of roses.

    On some of the trees that could not be ced with flower pots, roses that were tied with ropes were wrapped around the branches. It was as if roses had grown out of the trees. From afar, they looked like pink rose trees.

    Other than the pink roses she had seen at Dreams in the Clouds the previous night, there were also red, blue, and yellow roses.

    Layers of flowers surged like waves, extending from the door to the main building.

    Xia Wanyuan passed throughyers of roses and walked to the entrance of the main building. The scene in the house amazed her even more.

 Chapter 131 - The Vast Sea of Stars

    <h4>Chapter 131: The Vast Sea of Stars</h4>

    The few huge marble pirs that supported the hall were all wrapped in roses. From the door to the house, the ground, the table, and the flower pot, the entire ce was filled with a sea of roses.

    The huge chandelier illuminated the room with its gentle light. There was ayer of rose petals on the ground, and beside the French windows, a casual hanging chair was decorated with pink roses.

    There was a lot of space in the semi-circr pink swing with soft cushions.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on it like she was lying in a pink cotton candy. It was soft and sweet. Through the huge French windows, she could see the vast and magnificent sea of roses.

    It was the first time she had seen pink roses in Dreams in the Cloudsst night. She did not expect to see such a sea of roses when she returned home today. Xia Wanyuan was very happy, and her cool eyes were filled with brightness.

    Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s happy expression with a smile in his eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair for a while before suddenly turning around. ¡°Jun Shiling, why are you so good to me?¡±

    ¡°Which part is good?¡± Jun Shiling sat on the chair beside Xia Wanyuan and asked.

    ¡°These must cost a lot, right?¡± Although Xia Wanyuan did not know how expensive these flowers were, such an overwhelming sea of roses should cost at least hundreds of thousands.

    ¡°The global billionaires listst year.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shed.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head, a little confused as to why Jun Shiling was saying this.

    ¡°I¡¯m ranked tenth in the world and am an obvious asset.¡±

    ¡°¡­Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless.?<i>So you have money.</i>?¡°But I only said it casuallyst night. I didn¡¯t really want to nt so many roses in the manor.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome or expensive. Just see it if you want to.¡± Jun Shiling looked extremely indifferent.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing how calm Jun Shiling was, Xia Wanyuan felt that it might be because she had never seen the world and did not know how rich people in the modern world yed.

    What she did not know was that at this moment, the flower shops in Beijing, the flower shops, and the main flower base in the south were all cheering for themselves forpleting the quarterly performance in advance.

    Because this mysterious big boss had ordered two million roses in one go, and because it required a lot and time was tight, he had bought them at double the wholesale price.

    Xia Wanyuan was ying games in the hanging chair while Jun Shiling was having a video conference with Lin Jing on the sofa in the living room. He had returned too early today, and there were still many things to settle in thepany.

    Lin Jing pressed the call button and was dazzled by the pink roses on the screen behind Jun Shiling.

    Assistant Lin, who had always been calm andposed, even dropped the pen in his hand.

    However, half a secondter, Lin Jing reacted and immediately regained hisposure. He reported the work to Jun Shiling in an orderly manner.

    An hourter, Jun Shiling finally settled the matter that Lin Jing had reported from afar. The sky outside had darkened. Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting on a hanging chair and swaying leisurely.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat. I¡¯ll show you something after dinner.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After passing through the sea of roses, Xia Wanyuan knew that the item must be unusual for Jun Shiling to say that he wanted to see it. She was very expectant.

    After the meal, Uncle Wang brought the servants away with great tact. Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan out of the main building. It was dark outside.

    There was a faint fragrance of roses in the air, but all she could see was darkness.

    ¡°Look at the sky,¡± Jun Shiling reminded Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. It was still pitch-ck.

    Just as she was about to ask Jun Shiling, she realized that there seemed to be stars shining in the sky. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly.

    Gradually, the specks of light appeared more and more. Soon, they covered the top of the manor like a vast starry sky.

    Xia Wanyuan had seen the cosmic star chart with Xiao Bao before. The vast gxy above them was the reappearance of the Leo Star System.

    And her horoscope was exactly Leo.

    It was unknown what they had used to form this vast and magnificent gxy above their heads. These gxies emitted light that illuminated the manor.

    Above her head was the sea of stars, while she was in the sea of roses. Xia Wanyuan felt that in her two lifetimes, her youthful heart had never been so adorable, nor had she ever seen such a beautiful scene.

    ¡°What star is the brightest?¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at an extremely bright blue and white star above her head.

    ¡°Xuanyuan Fourteen¡­¡±

    After Jun Shiling finished talking about the star, he turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with great admiration.

    ¡°How do you know everything?¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed once again.

    ¡°I saw it once.¡± Jun Shiling suppressed his smile.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to ask more when she heard movement at the door. A ck car drove into the manor.

    The car door opened and a small figure rushed out. ¡°Mommy!!!¡±

    Xiao Bao ran towards Xia Wanyuan with his short legs. Xia Wanyuan caught him and hugged him.

    ¡°Mommy, I missed you so much.¡± Xiao Bao wrapped his arms around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and kissed her on the cheek.

    There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mommy missed you too.¡±

    ¡°Daddy, I also¡­¡± Xiao Bao turned around and was about to speak to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby little face unhappily. ¡°Jun Yin, do you know how heavy you are? You¡¯re already so big, yet you¡¯re still being carried.¡±

    ¡°Hmph! Daddy, I don¡¯t miss you at all!¡± Xiao Bao pouted and frowned, but his hands struggled to get off Xia Wanyuan.

    However, he did not expect that before his feet touched the ground, a pair ofrge hands would wrap around his waist and pull him back. Xiao Bao looked up and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold eyes.

    Unlike the gentleness on Xia Wanyuan, although Jun Shiling was cold, he had the dignity and stability of a father.

    Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck with both hands and whined softly, ¡°Daddy, I missed you too.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly, but his eyes were warm.

    Having interacted with Jun Shiling for so long, Xiao Bao knew that Jun Shiling was just a little serious and not really scolding him. He immediately hugged Jun Shiling tighter and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder, smiling foolishly at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Uncle Liu watched Xiao Bao run into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and saw the happy atmosphere between the three of them. His eyes were filled with relief.

    ¡°Thank you for sending him back sote, Uncle Liu.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Uncle Liu.

    ¡°Little Master missed Young Master and Madam. Old Master was afraid that he would cry, so he asked me to send Little Master back. Since he was safely delivered, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    ¡°Uncle Liu, take care.¡±

    Uncle Liu bade farewell to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, got into the car, and walked back. Before he left, he nced at the three people in the sea of roses, his eyes filled with relief. He could not wait to go back and tell the Old Master, which would definitely make him happy.

    The news of Xia Wanyuan visiting Xia Yu at school had been posted online ever since Xia Wanyuan left school.

    Speaking of which, it was strange. If anyone casually asked someone on Weibo if Xia Wanyuan was popr, he would definitely say no. She was just a B-list celebrity.

    However, if one were to say that she was not popr, Xia Wanyuan had a very special type of trending topic.

    ?

    Other celebrities might have needed to hire marketing ounts and fake reviewers to promote themselves in the previous trending searches, but Xia Wanyuan had relied on her extremely controversial image to miraculously be a trending topic many times.

    ¡°So Xia Wanyuan and that broadcaster named Xiaoyu are really siblings. With the photos as evidence, Xia Wanyuan even went to Xiaoyu¡¯s school to visit this morning. ording to sources, Xiaoyu¡¯s original name is Xia Yu, and he¡¯s a first-year student at Di Fan University.¡±

    There were two photos attached to Weibo. One was of Xia Yu ying basketball with great vigor, and the other was of Xia Yu smiling and following Xia Wanyuan.

    [ Ah, this youthful feeling that explodes the screen. If I give my life to you, where will such a younger brother go to receive it? ]

    [ Boohoo, alive!! My younger brother who knows how to y basketball!!!!! Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. It turns out that other than ying games, my younger brother is so handsome when he ys basketball too! I¡¯m crying! ]

    [ Isn¡¯t the main point that Xia Yu is actually from Di Fan University¡­ A famous university, rich, King of Hundred Star Field. He ys basketball well, and the main point is that he¡¯s good-looking. He¡¯s like a little sprout that has just sprouted. God has opened the entire ceiling for him. ]

    [ All of you go and lick your younger brother. I¡¯ll watch Xia Wanyuan quietly alone¡­ Although her reputation is bad, she¡¯s really beautiful¡­ Even the blurry picture can¡¯t hide her beauty. I¡¯m impressed. ]

    [ I agree with the person in front. She¡¯s really pretty and doesn¡¯t look like she has much makeup on. ording to my ssmates at Di Fan University, she looks a hundred times better in person than in the photos. My ssmates were stunned. ]

    However, other than these praises, there were also many people who suspected that Xia Wanyuan was putting on a show, especially after they revealed that Xia Yu¡¯s university was Di Fan University.

    Although Di Fan University could notpare to Qing University, it was still one of the top ten schools in the country. The students here were all called geniuses.

    On a famous gossip forum in the country, an anonymous post broke the news.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is just putting on a show. She¡¯s just coborating with Xia Yu to hype things up. One of them became popr on live-stream, and the other obtained an endorsement for Ya Zi based on her poprity. I swear I¡¯m a student of Di Fan This is the first time Xia Wanyuan hase to school. I didn¡¯t see herest semester. If she really cares about her younger brother, must she wait until she bes popr beforeing?¡±

    Under this anonymous post, many students from Di Fan came out to testify that they had indeed not seen Xia Wanyuan visit Xia Yust semester.

    ¡°Besides, what straight As student? Look at Xia Yu¡¯s results for the end of semester.¡±

    The anonymous informant posted Xia Yu¡¯s report card. There were a total of 15 subjects, and none of them passed.

    At this moment, everyone was more inclined to believe that Xia Yu and Xia Wanyuan were deliberately creating hype.

    [ Er¡­ If it was any other lousy school, it would be fine if your results were bad. But this is Di Fan, my ideal school. ]

    [ How did this spicy chicken get into Di Fan?? Could it be that she secretly manipted it? ]

    [ These two siblings are amazing. There has to be a limit to hyping things up, right? This is the university I dreamed of. They treat it as a tool to hype things up. Today, I¡¯m going to be the snowke during the avnche! ]

 Chapter 133 - Official Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 133: Official Announcement</h4>

    ¡°Xia Yu, how did you do? Didn¡¯t you live up to the food my goddess bought you?¡± After checking his results, Su Mei finally felt relieved.

    Thinking of Xia Yu, Su Mei leaned over to see how many marks Xia Yu had scored.

    ¡°F*ck! Brother, you¡¯re amazing!¡±

    Su Mei was shocked when he saw the results of more than 95 points on Xia Yu¡¯sputer.

    Xia Yu wasst in the ssst semester. ording to his results, Xia Yu was likely to be the top three in the ss for this midterm exam.

    Zhang Zhe and Yang Lin heard Su Mei and came over to take a look.

    ¡°You¡¯re amazing. Sister Xia originally wanted you to get an A grade at the end of the semester. It¡¯s only the middle of the semester and you¡¯ve already done it. Our brothers didn¡¯t waste our time waking up early and sleepingte every day with you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Yu raised his eyebrows happily at Su Mei and the rest. He didn¡¯t expect to score so well himself.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. Besides, Sister Xia has already thanked us for you, haha.¡±

    The few times Xia Yu returned to the manor, he would bring back a pile of things. In addition, Xia Wanyuan had gifted them a few times. Most of the food, items, and clothes in the dormitory were bought by Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing that Xia Yu¡¯s results were good, everyone was happy. They felt that they hadpleted their mission well and did not disappoint Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone in the dormitory was happy for Xia Yu. They discussed where they should go for a celebratory meal that night, but there was already amotion on Weibo.

    Everyone found Xia Yu¡¯s report card for the previous semester and ran to the official Weibo ount of Di Fan University to question how he was recruited.

    Everyone began to question what standards were used to recruit such a student. Could Di Fan University be used as a model for the world?

    Although theizens were aggressive, everyone knew in their hearts that there was a high chance that no one would respond to this matter. After all, simr things had happened in other schools in the past. The Inte was in a frenzy, and it did not affect the explosive student recruitment of their school.

    Unexpectedly, Di Fan University responded rather quickly and firmly.

    Di Fan University directly threw out two photos.

    One of them was Xia Yu¡¯s registration form for transferring majors after he entered school as a student with a sports specialty, and the other was Xia Yu¡¯s report card for the midterm exam.

    Then, she added, ¡°Di Fan is an epting and inclusive school. Xia Yu entered the school as a sports student and transferred to finance after normal procedures. Although his results were average in the early stages, he was hardworking and obtained second ce in the entire department during this midterm exam.¡±

    [ Amazing, second in the department. Let me call you Big Boss. ]

    [ Why aren¡¯t the haters dancing anymore? Continue dancing. Did your father¡¯s results blind you? ]

    [ Really? Why did his results increase so quickly? ]

    [ I¡¯m Xia Yu¡¯s ssmate. I can testify that Xia Yu has been studying very seriously this semester. The four of them in the dormitorye out early every day to study. They usually study in the library after sses. Also, let me secretly tell you something, Xia Yu¡¯s other three roommates are also very handsome. ]

    [ I have a friend who wants to see what Xia Yu¡¯s roommates look like before he dies. I don¡¯t expect to get Xia Yu, but I can get his roommate as my boyfriend. ]

    Everyone was in a mess as they discussed. At that moment, a Weibo ount named ¡°Xia Yu¡¯s Daddy¡± posted several photos that attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

 Chapter 134 - Accidentally Entering Rose Castle

    <h4>Chapter 134: identally Entering Rose Castle</h4>

    The name ¡°Xia Yu¡¯s father¡± was too eye-catching. With the poprity of the live-stream, Xia Yu had a lot of fans and fangirls on Weibo.

    When everyone saw this ID, they felt that the anti-fans had deliberately used Xia Yu¡¯s name to insult him.

    Hence, they swarmed into this person¡¯s Weibo and were filled with question marks.

    @ Xia Yu¡¯s father: ¡°Why are you making so many conspiracy theories? We all saw Xia Yu¡¯s hard work this semester. Hehe, we¡¯re celebrating Xia Yu¡¯s good results. Xia Yu is treating today. Also, let me show you what Sister Xia bought for us.¡±

    There were nine photos attached to this Weibo post.

    Other than the first picture, the rest were all food and clothing.

    [ I thought he was an anti-fan, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be Xiaoyu¡¯s roommate. I almost couldn¡¯t retract my 40-meter long knife. ]

    [ Then here¡¯s the question. Do you boys really like to call yourselves other people¡¯s dad? ]

    [ Let me answer you first. Yes, after all, I also have three sons. ]

    [ Don¡¯t you guys look at the photos? What kind of goddess sister is Xia Wanyuan¡­ thatputer¡­ that shoe¡­ that jacket¡­ F*ck, I¡¯m crying from envy. ]

    [ What¡¯s there to be envious of? Xia Wanyuan is so rich. What¡¯s wrong with buying something for Xia Yu¡¯s roommate? Isn¡¯t it normal? ]

    [ The one in front, what¡¯s the matter with you? No matter how rich Xia Wanyuan is, she didn¡¯t steal or snatch it. Why should she buy things for others? Isn¡¯t Ruan Yingyu quite rich too? Why haven¡¯t I heard of Ruan Yingyu buying anything for Ruan Nian¡¯s roommate? ]

    Xia Yu¡¯s fans and Ruan Nian¡¯s fans were already at odds. Now that Ruan Nian was involved, everyone began to argue again.

    However, most people were shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s generosity. They expressed their desire to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother. If they could not, they wanted to be her younger brother¡¯s roommate.

    A small number of people felt that Xia Wanyuan doted on her younger brother very much and was very generous to her roommates, so they tried to join Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan club group.

    Hence, the first ten fans who retired in the group every day suddenly realized that more people had applied to join the group.

    After a day, the number of fans in the group increased from 10 to 50.

    They were so happy that the group leader started to set off firecrackers in the group to celebrate. ¡°We have 40 more siblings!! This is a huge step for the fan group. This is a small step on Yuan Yuan¡¯s path to development. Keep up the good work! Make her glorious again!!¡±

    The person who had just entered was stunned by this magical operation.?<i>¡®Is this a cult??¡¯</i>

    Hence, before the group owner could finish setting off the firecrackers, 20 people had already left the group.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.

    <i>Alright,</i>?the group leader consoled herself.?<i>Don¡¯t I still have 30 fa</i>ns left? In total, we had increased by 20. The daily growth rate was 200%. Excellent!!

    Ever since ¡°Xia Yu¡¯s father¡± came out to rify, more and more photos taken by students from Di Fan University were gradually dug out by theizens.

    While Xia Yu was ying basketball, someone was beside him the entire time. Someone had also taken photos of Xia Wanyuan and the rest walking back to the dormitory.

    [ Little brother is really too good-looking. This is a beautiful young man with vitality!! This is it! Did little brother shoot a basketball? No, it¡¯s my heart. ]

    [ On careful look, Xia Yu and Xia Wanyuan really look a little alike. Both of their eyes are so good-looking. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s is like ake, clear and soft. Xia Yu¡¯s is like a stream, lively and lively. Amazing. How can they be so good-looking? ]

    [ Looking at the photos, I feel that Xia Wanyuan looks so gentle. Xia Yu¡¯s roommates surrounded her and made so much noise that she kept smiling. ]

    [ Xia Yu¡¯s Daddy: Replying to the above, I can testify that Sister Xia is really beautiful and gentle. She¡¯s undoubtedly my goddess. ]

    [ I captured Xiaoyu¡¯s roommate alive. I want to know which roommate Xia Yu¡¯s father is in the video. Forget it, any one of them is fine. I feel like all three of them are very good-looking. I¡¯m not picky. Just give me one. ]

    [ The person in front, if¡­ ]

    [ I understand. I¡¯ll go fry a te of peanuts now. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was still unaware of what was happening on the Inte. At that moment, she looked helplessly at Xiao Bao, who was rolling in the rose petals.

    Uncle Wang told the construction team that the madam liked roses and they should put as many flowers as they could.

    Hence, not only in the garden, but in the living room and even the entire bedroom, the ground was covered with thick rose petals and the surroundings were filled with roses.

    However, in consideration of sleep efficiency, the construction team had specially chosen a pink rose without any smell, only having the faint scent of nts.

    Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were ying games on the bed when Jun Shiling walked in from the door. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s tall figure, which did not match the pinkness in the room.

    Jun Shiling seemed to have noticed this too, and he pursed his lips. ¡°Sleep, Jun Yin. You¡¯re not allowed to y anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao obediently turned off the game and crawled over to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.?<i>The feeling of sleeping with my parents was too good!</i>

    Although the manor was hidden, it was not a restricted area.

    There were very few people who passed by here in the past. Knowing that this was the Jun family¡¯s manor, they became more cautious and avoided this ce carefully.

    However, those who asionally lost their way and identally entered the depths of the nts suddenly encountered a paradise on earth where the light of the setting sun shone.

    The majestic and magnificent castle was like a paradise. The most surprising thing was the sea of roses that covered the sky and the horizon.

    It was pink like a dream.

    The person who had entered by mistake pinched his face hard and screamed in pain. Only then did he confirm that he was not in a dream and hurriedly took a photo with his phone.

    Then, he stood outside the castle and looked at it in amazement for a long time before returning the way he came.

    ¡°The person who intruded just now took a photo. Do we need to intercept and clean the photos?¡± After Jun Shiling finished breakfast, he had just stepped out of the door when Uncle Wang walked up and asked.

    There was an extremely tight security system around the castle. Those who entered by mistake had been targeted a thousand meters away from the manor.

    ¡°No need. There¡¯s nothing to hide.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s approval, Uncle Wang passed down the order and let go of the person who had intruded, allowing him to bring the photos back to the capital city.

    There was something strange in the capital today. Some people wanted to buy a bouquet of roses for their girlfriends, but when they walked past three or four flower shops, they were told that they had already sold out. The next batch would only arrive tomorrow.

    Everyone posted on their Moments and Weibo about this matter. Then, they realized that no one in the city had bought roses that day.

    Everyone could not help but question.?<i>¡®Where did the roses in the city go?¡¯</i>

    [ I especially went to ask my aunt at the flower shop. I heard that a mysterious big shot bought all the flowers in the city¡­ ]

    [ I¡¯m stunned. The big shots really know how to y. ]

    ?

    [ Buying all the roses in the city and giving them to someone is too romantic¡­ ]

    [ Where did all these flowers go? They can¡¯t have been sent away quietly, right? I didn¡¯t see the news report that some overbearing CEO was mobilized again.]

    At this point, everyone could just tease each other and pass the time. After all, roses were not a necessity in life. Without them, there was only ack of romance between couples. Life went on as usual.

    However, just as everyone was gradually forgetting about this matter, a blogger suddenly posted a few photos on his Weibo.

    In the magnificent manor, the endless sea of roses looked like a dreand.

    Someizens asionally saw this Weibo picture and saw the obvious style of the European-style manor and the illusory sea of roses.

    He sighed in amazement in his heart.?<i>¡®I wonder where in Europe this is. I must visit it when I have time.¡¯?</i>

    Just as he was about to leave after liking it, he suddenly saw the text that was attached to this Weibo post.

    The few words in the city made theizens wonder if there was something wrong with their eyes. They hurriedly opened Weibo to confirm that it was indeed in the city.

    [ Blogger, are you serious? This is a photo taken in Beijing? When did Beijing have such a beautiful ce? ]

    Soon, the blogger replied, ¡°It¡¯s true. I was riding on the outskirts of Beijing today, but I took the wrong path. After passing through arge number of trees, I arrived here. The address is at the end of Xingyuan Road.¡±

    Although theizens did not believe it very much, seeing that the blogger was speaking the truth, theizens reposted this Weibo post skeptically.

    As thisizen was a somewhat famous travel blogger with close to a million fans, his Weibo post attracted a lot of attention after it was reposted.

    Everyone spread the picture again skeptically, and it gradually attracted the attention of the public.

    [ Why don¡¯t I believe it? I¡¯m staying at Xingyuan Road. I¡¯ve never seen such a beautiful manor. ]

    [+1, how can there be such a beautiful ce? I feel like this picture is photoshopped. ]

    [ Could it be that someone saw that everyone was discussing roses and specially created a fake photo to cheat people of their poprity? ]

    [ Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. There¡¯s no need to hype up such fake news. ]

    Just as the audience gradually dispersed, a very famous paparazzi in the entertainment industry posted a Weibo post.

    @ # 1 paparazzi: ¡°Jun Shiling, the richest man in China, has always lived in Beijing, but he keeps an extremely low profile. No one knows where Jun Shiling lives. From the photos taken byizens unintentionally and the information from Jun Shiling¡¯s previous interviews with the national television station, this manor hidden in Beijing is basically Jun Shiling¡¯s residence.¡±

    There were a few photos posted on Weibo. The first was a satellite photo taken from the National Geographic Information Network.

    From the satellite photos that looked down from the sky, they could see that there was a vacuum area where roads, railways, and shipping information were missing. It was as if all the projects had gone around this ce.

    Coincidentally, this ce was the end of Xingyuan Road.

    The second picture was taken a few years ago when Jun Shiling participated in an interview on national television, he revealed that he lived by the roadside of Xingyuan.

    The remaining seven photos were all photos of the manor that had been intercepted from the person who had barged in.

    The number one paparazzi was not like those small bloggers. He had close to ten million fans, and in addition to Jun Shiling¡¯s extremely popr status, this Weibo post instantly exploded on the Inte.

    [ I see Jun Shiling!! I¡¯ll take advantage of the situation first. Please remember that it¡¯s this man (photo, jpg), the richest man in China, and the tenth richest man in the world. ] Aizen saw the three words¡¯ Jun Shiling ¡®and typed ament before the photo was even posted.

    [ The person in front, are you sure you didn¡¯t put in the wrong photo??? Are you sure this isn¡¯t the handsome guy who¡¯s about to debut?! ] Some passers-by who were confused were attracted in and then shocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s photo.

    [ The person in front, it¡¯s time to switch to 4G Inte. You actually don¡¯t even know what the world¡¯s number one diamond-ranked magnate, Jun Shiling, looks like. ]

    [ F*ck!! I just downloaded the picture. The richest man is indeed the richest man. He can indeed satisfy my requirements of waking up in a 300 square meters bed every day. ]

    [ Thank you for the reminder. I¡¯ll smash my Nokia when I get back today. I just didn¡¯t expect the richest man to be so handsome¡­ No, this isn¡¯t handsome anymore. This is a divine face. Oh my god. ]

    In the beginning, everyone¡¯s attention was on Jun Shiling¡¯s residence until someone connected this sea of roses with the roses that had disappeared in Beijing overnight.

    [¡­ I have a bad feeling that my husband might have been snatched away. ]

    [ Aren¡¯t you talking nonsense? Jun Shiling wouldn¡¯t buy the pink roses himself, right? I don¡¯t think he¡¯s that bored. The Jun Corporation probably has a mistress. ]

    [ Oh my god, my maiden heart! Oh my god!! Imagine Jun Shiling wearing that handsome face and buying all the roses in the city to give to one person. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster. ]

    [ The person in front of me is trying to kill my heart. I beg you to be kinder. I¡¯m already breaking down from losing my husband. Why must I suffer such a second blow? I¡¯m so envious. I wonder who could have such a perfect Jun Shiling. ]

    [ I¡¯m not envious of you at all if you book all the roses in the city to please someone. Tsk, let¡¯s not talk about it. I¡¯m a little thirsty. Let¡¯s drink two bottles of vinegar first. ]

    Under the heated discussion, the topic of who the wife of the richest person was gradually raised.

    A famousizen specially made a post to analyze Jun Shiling¡¯s scandal partner.

    After listing all the names, he realized that there was only one Lin Xuan who had given herself to him. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had rified that matter in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°I originally only wanted to gossip about Jun Shiling¡¯s rumored partner because I wanted to join in the fun. I never expected that this extremely handsome and rich man would not have a rumored partner!!¡±

    And this man actually has a girlfriend now. He even spent so much money to buy a whole city¡¯s rose for his girlfriend. I¡¯m so jealous. I can¡¯t maintain an objective attitude anymore. This post is closed. Goodbye!¡±

    Netizens, who had moved small stools and were sitting in the front row waiting to be analyzed, were stunned by this magical operation.

    The inte was lively, but the manor was peaceful. Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the table with a brush and Jun Shiling was watching from the side.

 Chapter 136 - Horse Farm

    <h4>Chapter 136: Horse Farm</h4>

    After Professor Zhang took away the bamboo ink painting that day, there was no more news from him. Hence, Xia Wanyuan naturally assumed that her painting had not been selected.

    Who would have thought that as soon as she woke up this morning, she would receive a call from Elder Zhang asking her to draw another painting?

    Hence, after Xiao Bao went to school, Xia Wanyuan spread paper on the table and drew.

    The brush was filled with ink, and the tip of the brush was like a dragon and snake as it swam at will on the Xuan paper. Not long after, a painting of a cold plum blossom appeared on the paper.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the seal with the words ¡°Yuan Wanxia¡± on it. Then, sheid the painting on the table and waited for the ink to dry naturally.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to work today?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling curiously.

    ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s habits, he usually went to thepany after breakfast.

    ¡°I have to receive guests today.¡± Jun Shiling retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting. ¡°Come with me?¡±

    ¡°At the manor? It¡¯s not suitable for me to go with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little hesitant. After all, her rtionship with Jun Shiling still needed to be kept secret.

    ¡°In the suburbs. The guest today is not from China. It¡¯s okay if you go. He doesn¡¯t know you.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t feel conflicted. It was boring staying in the manor, so she might as well go out with Jun Shiling.

    After the painting on the table was dry, Xia Wanyuan packed the painting and sent someone to deliver it to Professor Zhang.

    Estimating that the guests would arrive soon, so Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to the suburbs.

    Passing through the tall buildings and a small hill in the suburbs, arge in suddenly appeared in his eyes. There were many horses on the in, leisurely strolling as they ate grass.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Lin Jing had been waiting in front of the racecourse. Seeing Jun Shiling get out of the car, he walked forward.

    The person in charge of the racecourse followed behind Lin Jing. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Jun Shiling.

    The air in the suburbs was especially fresh. The air was filled with fresh vegetation. After Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan got out of the car.

    The originally cautious person-in-charge and staff of the racecourse were shocked when they saw Xia Wanyuan behind Jun Shiling.

    They knew how important today¡¯s event was.?<i>Master Jun actually brought a woman here?! What was the rtionship between this woman and Master Jun?!</i>

    Everyone stood rooted to the ground, not knowing how to address this exceptionally beautiful woman.

    Lin Jing¡¯s eyes shed the moment he saw Xia Wanyuan get out of the car. He knew that Jun Shiling valued Xia Wanyuan, but he did not expect him to value her till this extent.

    While everyone was still hesitating, Lin Jing had already walked up and bowed respectfully to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam.¡±

    ?????

    !!!

    Everyone looked at Lin Jing calling Xia Wanyuan Madam in confusion.?<i>What? What?! Why didn¡¯t we know when Master Jun got married?</i>

    However, Lin Jing was Jun Shiling¡¯s right-hand man. 99% of his actions represented Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts, so everyone hurriedly followed Lin Jing and called her Madam.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±

    After everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling brought her in.

    This was aprehensive leisure ce. It relied on a horse ranch and was equipped with aplete set of entertainment and leisure activities. It was like a small resort.

    However, the ce waspletely clear today. There was even a guard every three steps and a person every two steps. These people were all wearing military uniforms.

    Xia Wanyuan knew thatpared to the Xia Dynasty, the modern world was more democratic and peaceful. Ordinarymoners had never seen a gun in their lives, let alone so many.

    ?

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was a little curious about the identity of the guest Jun Shiling was about to meet.

    ¡°The person who came back is the prince of the Eagle Kingdom and also the crown prince of the Eagle Kingdom.¡± Jun Shiling exined the identity of this guest to Xia Wanyuan in a low voice.

    Xia Wanyuan had seen some modern history and knew that although there were still such things as kings, to many countries, they were just empty titles.

    But even if it was just a name, it represented a country.

    ¡°They¡¯re visiting China this time and I had some ties with the old prince of the Eagle Kingdom, so Ii¡¯m helping to entertain his descendants.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan listened to Jun Shiling, she walked. Not long after, the two of them arrived in front of arge grasnd.

    Not far away, two tall figures riding horses dashed over.

    The sound of a horse whip tearing through the air was extremely ear-piercing. The horse galloped over and gradually slowed down a hundred meters away from Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hello, Mr Jun. It¡¯s an honor to meet you.¡±

    A blond man in a white riding suit walked towards Jun Shiling. He ced his right hand on his chest and lowered his head slightly.

    As the crown prince, he had naturally received all kinds of advanced education since he was young. It was necessary for him to know the few importantnguages in the world today. Therefore, although his pronunciation was a little awkward, he couldmunicate daily in Chinese.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and introduced Xia Wanyuan to the guest who hade from afar. ¡°This is my wife, Xia Wanyuan. This is Prince Charlie.¡±

    Only then did Prince Charlie look at Xia Wanyuan. His blue eyes were filled with amazement.

    Knowing that she had a guest today, Xia Wanyuan specially put on light makeup, making her look even more elegant and refined.

    Dressed in a light blue dress, she looked like the blue sky among the clouds, gentle and peaceful.

    It was the first time Prince Charlie had seen the gentle beauty of an Eastern woman, and he was stunned.

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly while Lin Jing coughed behind him. Only then did Prince Charlie seem to have recovered from his loss ofposure.

    ¡°Madam Jun is too beautiful!! You¡¯re the most beautiful woman I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± The people of the Eagle Nation expressed their emotions more directly, so Prince Charlie clearly expressed his admiration for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not super happy about being praised by the prince. After all, in the Xia Dynasty, this so-called prince could only be considered a citizen.

    ¡°Mr Jun, your racecourse is very good. I wonder if Mr Jun knows how to ride a horse? I¡¯ve been in China for a while and I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen anyone who knows how to ride a horse. What a pity.¡±

    As the origin of modern horsemanship, horsemanship was popr in the Eagle Kingdom. Prince Charlie was a hobbyist and proficient in horsemanship.

    China was a civilized ancient country with more than five thousand years of history. However, more than a hundred years ago, China was chaotic and poor. For a long time after the liberation, China appeared on the international scene as a backward and weak country.

    From the beginning, it was difficult to eliminate one¡¯s opinion of something.

    Therefore, even when facing Jun Shiling, the global magnate who was now famous internationally, Prince Charlie subconsciously still had a subtle sense of superiority as a royal family of an established and advanced country.

 Chapter 138 - Pretty Person, Beautiful Horse

    <h4>Chapter 138: Pretty Person, Beautiful Horse</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan frowned when she heard Prince Charlie¡¯s words.

    China had a long history. A long time ago, transportation was inconvenient, and people traveled by horse-riding. Furthermore, they would train horses inrge numbers and use them asbat horses to increase thebat ability of the army.

    Even the Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago had a fully formed cavalry.

    The history of the Eagle Kingdom was not even half that of China. When China¡¯s civilization was brilliant and open, they were still eating raw meat and drinking blood. Now, they were showing off their superiority with horsemanship.

    ¡°Prince Charlie, I¡¯ve long heard that your riding skills are excellent. I wonder if I have the honor of asking you for advice?¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could speak, Xia Wanyuan spoke leisurely.

    Everyone present looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    Other than Jun Shiling and Lin Jing, everyone else had an incredulous expression.

    There was a reason why Prince Charlie dared to feel so superior in front of Jun Shiling.

    In recent years, Prince Charlie had consecutively won the individual championship at the European equestrian championship. He had even represented the Eagle Kingdom to attend global equestrianpetitions and had achieved considerable results.

    It could be said that Prince Charlie¡¯s riding skills were top-notch worldwide.

    And now, this woman who looked as gentle as water that Jun Shiling had brought actually wanted topete with Prince Charlie. Everyone felt that Xia Wanyuan was asking to be humiliated.

    Prince Charlie felt that Jun Shiling would never agree to his wifepeting with him.

    After all, although this was a private event, one party was the controller of the Chinese economy and the other was the royal prince of the world power.

    It could be said that they represented the face of their countries. Prince Charlie believed that Jun Shiling would not let a weak woman cause trouble.

    ¡°Alright, then represent me and seek advice from Prince Charlie.¡± Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would agree to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s suggestion after taking a deep look at her?

    ¡°Mr. Jun, won¡¯t I be bullying women like this? Why don¡¯t wepete?¡± Prince Charlie did not really want to win Jun Shiling. He only wanted to show off his skills and give Jun Shiling face so that they could draw.

    Now that Jun Shiling had asked his wife topete, wasn¡¯t it obvious that he wanted to lose?

    ¡°Prince Charlie, do you think that women can¡¯tpare to you?¡±

    Prince Charlie could not refute Xia Wanyuan¡¯s usation. ¡°Alright, then please go and change your clothes. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan was brought to change into her riding attire, Jun Shiling sat on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

    ¡°Mr. Jun, do you want to consider it again?¡± Prince Charlie was arrogant and felt that it was meaningless topare himself to a woman.

    ¡°Prince Charlie, you should worry about whether you can win or not.¡± Jun Shiling didn¡¯t look worried at all, as if he was confident that Xia Wanyuan would win.

    ¡°But¡­¡± Before Prince Charlie could finish his sentence, he saw Xia Wanyuan walk towards them after changing.

    The attire for the equestrianpetition was extremely experienced. Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a simple white knight suit. A pair of high boots made her legs look straight and slender. Her top was tucked into the waist of her pants, outlining the perfect waistline and making her look slender.

    Her long, seaweed-like hair was neatly tied into a ponytail. Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly walking over with a horsewhip in hand, made one instantly think of the word Queen.

    Amazing ~¡± Prince Charlie couldn¡¯t help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

    If one were to say that when he first saw Xia Wanyuan, she was as graceful as water, then now that she was dressed in a knight¡¯s uniform, the valiant Xia Wanyuan was like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed.

    Everyone present was stunned, except for Jun Shiling.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slender waist that was outlined by the close-fitting knight suit and her slender legs, a hint of displeasure shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. If he had known, he wouldn¡¯t have let her go.

    ¡°Please.¡± Xia Wanyuan shrugged slightly and invited Prince Charlie to the venue.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Prince Charlie nimbly mounted the horse and looked at Xia Wanyuan below. ¡°Madam Jun, do you need help getting on the horse¡¯s back?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not reply. Instead, she stepped on the stirrups with her left foot and held the reins. Her right foot drew a beautiful arc in the air and she sat steadily on the horse.

    Prince Charlie¡¯s eyes turned serious. He was an experienced person. From Xia Wanyuan¡¯s casual and natural actions, he could tell that her riding skills were definitely very profound.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Madam Jun to be so aplished. I won¡¯t be polite anymore.¡±

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Xia Wanyuan used all her strength to raise the horsewhip, and the horse under her flew out like an arrow leaving the bow.

    Everyone was so frightened that their hair stood on end. Even Jun Shiling stood up worriedly.

    Normally, people on horseback would ride their horses slowly at the beginning. After adjusting their state with the horses, they would enter thepetition state.

    No one would ride their horses the moment they arrived, let alone at such a fast speed. The staff only felt a breeze before they disappeared.

    ¡°Quick, inform the emergency team!!¡± The person in charge of the racecourse was so frightened that his heart clenched.?<i>Oh my god, that was Madam Jun!!!</i>

    With this speed, he didn¡¯t even dare to imagine how Madam Jun would fall, nor did he dare to imagine how dark his future would be. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and went to inform the rescue team with trembling legs.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan rushed out, Jun Shiling clenched his fists and stood up. However, after squinting slightly and looking at her for a while, Jun Shiling let go of his tightly clenched hands and sat back on the chair.

    Prince Charlie was shocked at first, but after a while, his eyes were filled with admiration.

    It had been a long time since Xia Wanyuan had ridden a horse. Just as she held the horsewhip, her heart leaped with joy. The horse galloped across the boundless ins, and the wind whistled past Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears.

    In just a minute, Xia Wanyuan had run nearly two kilometers. The horse under her was of excellent quality, and it was extremelyfortable to ride.

    Thinking that it was time to go back, Xia Wanyuan pulled on the reins and returned the way she came.

    The person in charge, who was about to cry from fright, forced himself to calm down when he saw that Jun Shiling and Prince Charlie were extremely calm.

    In the eyes of the person in charge, it seemed like a century had passed in the short minute. Finally, a small white dot appeared in the distance.

    The tall horse flew over, its speed as swift as the wind. However, Xia Wanyuan, who was on the horse¡¯s back, did not look the slightest bit disheveled. Instead, she looked valiant and heroic, like a white por, tall and slender.

    ¡°Madam Jun, you¡¯re good at riding.¡± Xia Wanyuan ran back and forth. This time, Prince Charlie¡¯s eyes were filled with seriousness as he pointed at the obstacle ahead. ¡°Pass through that obstacle zone. Whoever reaches the finish line first will win.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

 Chapter 139 - Riding a Horse

    <h4>Chapter 139: Riding a Horse</h4>

    The ability that Xia Wanyuan had disyed just now was enough to make Prince Charlie look straight at her.

    Prince Charlie rode his horse and prepared for a while. Then, the two sides stood in front of the starting line.

    The referee blew the whistle and two horses dashed out.

    There was a hurdle in modern equestrian programs that tested the horseman¡¯s control and coordination.

    Why did Xia Wanyuan feel that Prince Charlie¡¯s unting of his horsemanship wasughable?

    Because in her eyes, these so-called obstacles were really child¡¯s y.

    These obstacles that were no more than two meters tall were a piece of cake to her. If it were any ordinary cavalry from a thousand years ago, they would not treat this as apetition.

    There were no modern cars in ancient times. If one wanted to reach their destination quickly, they had to ride a horse.

    In the few battles where the Xia Dynasty had recovered its territory, Xia Wanyuan had always led troops to war. There was no asphalt road in ancient times.

    Furthermore, in order to make full use of the natural advantage, there were several wars that broke out in the mountains. The mountain roads were rugged and the terrain wasplicated. It was much more difficult than the roadblocks set up on the tnd.

    Hence, Prince Charlie was still adjusting his best state ording to his professional training and looking for the best angle to cross the roadblock.

    Xia Wanyuan had already mounted her horse and raised the whip. Without stopping, she pulled the reins and crossed the roadblock one by one.

    There was no need for any technique or perfect angle. Xia Wanyuan and the horse beneath her were naturally harmonious and moving smoothly.

    It made one feel that this was not a horse racingpetition but Xia Wanyuan strolling leisurely.

    Prince Charlie had just crossed the first railing when Xia Wanyuan had passed through all the obstacles and rushed to the end. Then she turned her horse and looked back.

    Prince Charlie finished the rest of the game as usual.

    However, this time, victory was no longer waiting for him at the finish line.

    Prince Charlie was very depressed, but the way he looked at Xia Wanyuan was filled with admiration.

    ¡°Madam Jun, you¡¯re the person with the best horsemanship I¡¯ve ever seen. Even the world champion, Houston, can¡¯tpare to you.¡±

    ¡°You tter me.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly, her bearing fully disyed.

    He had wanted to show off his excellent horsemanship, but he did not expect that he could not even catch up to the other party¡¯s wife at all. Prince Charlie felt embarrassed and left after bidding farewell to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Will it hurt the feelings of the country?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked as she watched Prince Charlie leave in loneliness. After all, Prince Charlie represented the face of the Eagle Kingdom¡¯s royal family.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. Over the years, China had developed very quickly. When the established aristocrats of the Eagle Kingdom came to the capital, they always had a superior attitude. It was no problem to teach them a lesson.

    ¡°You know how to ride a horse, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Jun Shiling asked back.

    ¡°Because I feel like you know everything.¡± Xia Wanyuan was telling the truth. From the moment she met Jun Shiling, he seemed to be omnipotent in her eyes. He knew many things and had all kinds of means.

    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, if I don¡¯t ride with you for a while, wouldn¡¯t I be letting down your high evaluation of me?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high evaluation of him, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was filled with joy. His deep eyes also carried a smile.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go and change first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was riding her horse around when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind her. Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Jun Shiling dressed in knight attire.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s memory, Jun Shiling always wore a shirt and suit, and she rarely saw him wearing other clothes.

    The knight suit had a British style to begin with. Jun Shiling was dressed in a white uniform. Sitting on the horse, he looked as noble as a prince in the Middle Ages.

    ¡°You¡¯re very good at riding,¡± Jun Shiling praised Xia Wanyuan sincerely.

    ¡°I guess you¡¯re bad either.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and suddenly pinched the horse¡¯s stomach. The horsewhip flew up and flew out, its clear voice scattering in the wind.

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He raised his horsewhip and chased after Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s guess was right. Jun Shiling followed quickly.

    The horse ran extremely quickly. On the vast ins, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were riding side by side. The wind blew up their ink-ck hair, and the sunlight cast ayer of light on the two of them. They were magnificent and radiant like pearls.

    The wind whistled by her ears. Amidst the swift horse-riding, Xia Wanyuan felt extremely happy. Her eyes were bright and moving.

    Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Wanyuan beside him, feeling a sense of arrogance that looked down on the world from the depths of her soul. Jun Shiling had never seen such arrogance on Xia Wanyuan before.

    It was as if this arrogance was carved into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bones. In this particr environment, it was inadvertently revealed, allowing him to see a little.

    Just this point alone was enough to make one¡¯s heart tremble.

    It was indeed satisfying to spur a horse and gallop, but Xia Wanyuan had neglected a fact. In her modern body, she was used to living like a prince. It was impossible for her to endure such a high-intensity exercise suddenly.

    Hence, on the way back to the manor from the horse farm, Xia Wanyuan felt a little sore. After sitting in the manor for a while, she felt extremely sore.

    Jun Shiling came out of the study and saw Xia Wanyuan frowning downstairs. He could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t exercised for too long. My body is a little sore.¡±

    ¡°Ask Shen Xiu toe over,¡± Jun Shiling instructed the servant.

    Then he walked over to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Do you want to run with me in the morning in the future?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling woke up very early and exercised every day. Xia Wanyuan felt that she indeedcked exercise, so she agreed readily.

    Shen Xiu arrived at the manor very quickly.

    ¡°Her body hurts. Check it for her and prescribe some medicine.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Shen Xiu looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and asked about her symptoms. He then understood Xia Wanyuan¡¯s problem and prescribed her some medicine and ointment to help ease her nerves.

    After seeing Jun Shiling, Shen Xiu looked at him quietly, as if he had something to say.

    ¡°Rest for a while. I have something to discuss with the doctor.¡± Jun Shiling handed warm water to Xia Wanyuan, then followed Shen Xiu out of the house.

    ¡°If there¡¯s anything, just say it. Is there a problem with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health?¡± Jun Shiling frowned slightly, his eyes filled with worry.

    Madam is fine. I just wanted to remind you that Madam needs to train more.¡±

    He recalled that when he had been treating Xia Wanyuan, he had seen a patch of red on her arm, as if she had been pinched hard.

    Shen Xiu looked a little embarrassed and continued, ¡°Otherwise, you should control yourself a little. If not, Madam¡¯s body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡±

 Chapter 140 - Yuan Wanxia Shows Her Brilliance

    <h4>Chapter 140: Yuan Wanxia Shows Her Brilliance</h4>

    Jun Shiling was stunned by Shen Xiu¡¯s words and did not react at first.

    When he realized what Shen Xiu was talking about, Jun Shiling clenched his fists tightly, and an unnatural look shed across his eyes.

    Just as he was about to reprimand him sternly, he realized that Shen Xiu had already run away after speaking.

    Jun Shiling walked into the house. Xia Wanyuan was rolling up her sleeves. She looked at her arm that had been hit by the horsewhip. It was a little red, but thankfully, there was no wound.

    ¡°Let me apply some medicine for you,¡± Jun Shiling said as he picked up the ointment beside him.

    His originally calm heart wavered when he saw Xia Wanyuan reach out her arm that was as white as a lotus root.

    After applying the ointment to the swelling area, Jun Shiling suddenly paused when he recalled Shen Xiu¡¯s words.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Do it yourself. I just remembered I had to do something.¡± With that, Jun Shiling stood up and walked away.

    Xia Wanyuan was left staring at Jun Shiling¡¯s back in confusion. For some reason, she felt that Jun Shiling looked a little flustered.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. She really drew it too well. I¡¯m really ashamed. I¡¯ve received so many years of praise from the industry, but I can¡¯tpare to a youngdy who¡¯s only 20 years old.¡±

    In the professor¡¯s office in Qing University, Professor Zhang clicked his tongue in wonder as he looked at the painting sent by Xia Wanyuan.

    If he had not seen Xia Wanyuan draw with his own eyes, he would not dare to believe that such experienced brushstrokes were drawn by a twenty-year-old girl.

    At that moment, the phone rang.

    ¡°Hey, Old Zhang, did you get that mysterious painter¡¯s painting? You can¡¯t hide it yourself. Bring it over for us to see.¡±

    Ever since Master Li Qian from the Painter Association had seen the ink bamboo painting that Professor Zhang had brought over the previous time, he had always treated that painting as a treasure. After knowing that Professor Zhang had asked Yuan Wanxia for another painting, he could not help but call Professor Zhang.

    ¡°Oh, Chairman Li, your ears are real. I just got the painting and you found out about it. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll bring the painting over tomorrow when I go to the association.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Professor Zhang looked through it carefully again and found many details that he did not notice the first time. He was impressed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s talent.

    Li Qian was very experienced in the Chinese painting and calligraphy world, and he was also the president of the Painter Association. With his affirmation, it was much easier for Xia Wanyuan to be recognized by the Painter Association.

    He was one step closer to recruiting another talented professor at Qing University.

    Professor Zhang¡¯s lover was someone who had been recruited by the person in charge of Qing University. Inviting a painter who had been recognized by the Painter Agreement was simply a ratherrge achievement.

    Thinking that his wife would turn a blind eye to his drinking when she was happy, Professor Zhang was extremely happy.

    From the first boneless painting of a peach blossom to the ink bamboo painting that Professor Zhang had sent to the Painter Association, this painter, whose name was originally Yuan Wanxia, gradually attracted the attention of the domestic painting industry.

    In those two paintings, there were actually many lost artworks and brush skills hidden. Everyone guessed that this master might be an expert hidden among themoners.

    Everyone had flipped through some of the more famous paintings in China in recent years, but they could not find any work that was simr to this person¡¯s strokes.

    Due to her excellent skills and the fact that they could not find the real artist, Yuan Wanxia became even more mysterious. In a short period of time, her works had risen to a rtively high price.

    Many people wanted to buy the painting from Professor Zhang through various connections.

 Chapter 141 - Artist Critics the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 141: Artist Critics the Princess</h4>

    ¡°Are you here to buy another painting? This painting isn¡¯t mine. Even if I want to sell it, I have to ask for his opinion first.¡±

    After hanging up the phone call for the tenth person to buy a painting today, Professor Zhang called Xia Wanyuan and exined the situation to her, asking for her opinion.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you that ink bamboo painting. Thank you for liking my painting. As for the rest, please help me sell them.¡±

    After hearing Professor Zhang¡¯s call, Xia Wanyuan roughly knew what was troubling Professor Zhang.

    Some Chinese schrs had their own style and did not want their paintings to be associated with money, thinking that it was a stain on the purity of their works.

    Professor Zhang was worried that Xia Wanyuan would have such a habit, so he appeared especially troubled when others came to buy paintings.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not have so many worries. Since someone liked her painting and was willing to spend money to buy it, she had nothing to be unhappy about.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s settled then. I¡¯ll tell you the price when we sell it.¡± Upon hearing that Xia Wanyuan wanted to give the ck Bamboo Painting to him.

    Professor Zhang wanted to be polite, but he was afraid that the painting would be gone if he was polite, so he agreed happily.

    After hanging up the phone, he began to n on selling the paintings.

    The poprity of the Inte had always been constant. The matter that everyone had been discussing a few days ago might be over in three days.

    The matter of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song conquering the live-stream had attracted a lot of attention at that time. However, a few dayster, the extramarital affair of a certain Best Actor attracted the attention of the entire Inte, and everyone gradually forgot about Xia Wanyuan.

    However, in the past two days, this matter was brought up again.

    Over the years, as the Chinese economy developed rapidly, people obtained great material satisfaction and began to pursue spiritual civilization.

    China had a long history and had its own unique cultural foundation. In addition, the country had supported traditional culture strongly in the past few years. Some traditional artists had gradually used Weibo to promote their works andmunicate with the public.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream was released, an artist named Guo Tian, who was certified as a member of the National Ancient Zither Association, reposted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video.

    It was different from how others praised Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light singing and beautiful lyrics.

    The artist first praised the beauty of the ancient zither music in the video and the outstanding skills of the ancient zither song.

    Then, he changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯ve yed the zither for nearly forty years. It can be said that this tune is one of the most pleasant tunes I¡¯ve ever heard. And I can¡¯tpletely control the various techniques used in it.

    How could such a youngdy in the video be so experienced and skilled? She doesn¡¯t even have a cocoon in her hand, but she¡¯s pretending to be an expert in the ancient zither. Young people nowadays are getting more and more impetuous. It¡¯s a pity that the Feng Xiqin is tainted with the smell of copper. ¡±

    There were not many fans of such artists to begin with, and they were usually not active. Hence, at that time, it did not cause much of a reaction and was buried in the vastizens¡¯ments. No one noticed this sentence at all.

    However, fans might pay more attention to the opposing idols than their own. Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans often searched for news about Xia Wanyuan to see if she had any new dark spots.

    Hence, by chance, fans saw this Weibo post and shared it with their fans. Many fans flooded into this Weibo post and gradually increased its poprity.

 Chapter 142 - What a Relief~~

    <h4>Chapter 142: What a Relief~~</h4>

    [ Hahaha, I knew it. Back then, so many people praised Xia Wanyuan and said that her song could shake the world. I knew it wasn¡¯t that simple. How could a piece of trash be so powerful so quickly? Now she¡¯s finally pped in the face. ]

    [ Blogger, you have to be responsible for what you say, okay? What makes you think Yuan Yuan is a liar? ]

    [ The Xia Wanyuan fan in front. As expected, fans follow the main lead. She¡¯s as uneducated as Xia Wanyuan. Look at the blogger¡¯s certification, okay? Do you know what the Ancient Zither Association is? That¡¯s a ce your master will never be able to enter in his life. ]

    [ Eh, I didn¡¯t quite understand at the time. I thought that Xia Wanyuan really yed it herself. I even went to follow her. I¡¯m turning from a fan to a hater. ]

    [ I knew long ago that Xia Wanyuan that straw bag would never be able to y such a pleasant tune. Now, she has finally been pped in the face by a professional, right? Hahahaha, she deserves it! ]

    [ Let¡¯s not talk too much. When will such a trash celebrity who deceives the audience get out of the entertainment industry? ]

    As a member of the Guo Tian Ancient Zither Association, his words were basically 100% true. Hence, those who had watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video back then felt that they had been deceived and joined the army to suppress Xia Wanyuan.

    Guo Tian¡¯s Weibo had gained nearly 100,000 fans overnight. He took this opportunity to post his ancient zither song on the Weibo homepage.

    Although theizens did not know much about the ancient zither, they were intimidated by Guo Tian¡¯s name as a member of the Guqin Association. They all bought his melody and kept praising Guo Tian¡¯s melody.

    In Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream, Xia Yu was killing people in the game with a white-clothed, immortal-like Li Bai.

    On thements, the audience was either busy licking the screen or shouting 6666.

    Everything was originally very harmonious, but unexpectedly, halfway through the live broadcast, arge number of passers-by suddenly swarmed into thements.

    [ Ruan Nian is scolding Xia Wanyuan next door. ]

    [ Ruan Nian has been scolding Xia Wanyuan. Isn¡¯t the broadcaster going to take a look? ]

    At that moment, Xia Yu¡¯s game ended. With the announcement of ¡®victory¡¯, Xia Yu nced at thements and saw thement about Ruan Nian scolding Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Yu clicked on Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream.

    ¡°Tsk, what ancient zither? Didn¡¯t you see what the experts on Weibo said? That song needs at least a few decades of foundation to y. Xia Wanyuan waspletely a liar. I didn¡¯t expect to be pped in the face by a professional.¡±

    Ruan Nian chatted with thements as he yed games. His sister and Xia Wanyuan werepetitors to begin with, and he did not have a good impression of Xia Wanyuan at all. Naturally, he would insult her however he wanted.

    Besides, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image as a liar was confirmed. Since Xia Yu was so protective of Xia Wanyuan, others would definitely think that Xia Yu was a liar too.

    Ever since Xia Yu came to Cat¡¯s Tooth, his poprity had soared. He had long disliked him.

    Xia Yu was furious when he saw Ruan Nian¡¯s annoying expression. He looked at the ount Ruan Nian was typing on and left Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream.

    [ Brother, don¡¯t be angry. Rub your head. ]

    [ Brother, don¡¯t bother about Ruan Nian. He¡¯s used to having a foul mouth anyway. If you care about him, you¡¯ll increase his poprity. ]

    [ Ruan Nian was right from the start, alright? Xia Wanyuan was a liar. Go and take a look on Weibo. The ancient zither expert said that it was impossible for Xia Wanyuan to y such a tune. ]

    [ Can you stop discussing unrted things? Focus on the live broadcast. If you discuss anything else, keep quiet. ]

    Thements were noisy, but Xia Yu suddenly said, ¡°Who can lend me Star Glory¡¯s ount? I don¡¯t have such a low-level ount.¡±

    [ Brother, you¡¯re too much. ]

    [ That hurts. ]

    [ If someone else said this, I would definitely scold them for acting dumb, but if it was King Hundred Star Wilderness, I just want to say, deideideidei. ]

    Although everyone was teasing him, they had already quickly sent Xia Yu a private message with their ounts and password. After all, the ount would definitely increase in terms of ranks when it was assigned to Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu picked an ount and entered the game.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Xia Yu did not start immediately but clicked on Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream.

    Ruan Nian had just finished a game and was on the settlement page.

    After Ruan Nian clicked on the matching button, Xia Yu pressed the same button.

    When he entered the game interface, Xia Yu was indeed opposite Ruan Nian.

    [ Brother is angry¡­ Let¡¯s mourn for Ruan Nian in advance. ]

    [ I¡¯m so envious of Xia Wanyuan. Brother is so protective of her. ]

    [ I can already imagine how badly Ruan Nian will die tonight. ]

    [ Hahahaha, haha. They¡¯re fighting, they¡¯re fighting. This scene is not bad. ]

    Not long after entering the game, Ruan Nian nced at thements. The screen was filled with three incense sticks as if they were burning incense for someone. A look of confusion shed across Ruan Nian¡¯s eyes.?<i>What was the audience doing?</i>

    When he retracted his gaze from thements and looked at the game, he realized that his character was already dead.

    ????

    <i>It had only been half a minute since the game began. Is the other party crazy?</i>

    Ruan Nian¡¯s skills were not good, so he could only y with archers with low health. Hence, he was especially easy to kill.

    After reviving, Ruan Nian wanted to quickly go and eat the minions at the bottomne. Who would have thought that just as he left his second tower, an invisible Lan Ling King instantly darted out and took him away in a second?

    The third revival took less than ten seconds before he was killed.

    The fourth time, ten seconds.

    ¡­¡­

    Until the end of the game, Ruan Nian did not leave the door. No matter where he was, King Lan Ling would urately find him and kill him.

    Initially, he thought that someone had spied on his screen while he was live-streaming. However, on second thought, he had set the live-stream to be dyed by a minute. It was impossible for the other party to find his location based on the live-stream.

    It was probably some Almighty¡¯s alternate ount. Ruan Nian opened it immediately, thinking that he wouldn¡¯t be able to meet this powerful alternate ount.

    Who would have thought that the moment he entered the game, he would be on the other side again? Furthermore, this person specialized in killing him. After the entire game, he had never stepped out of the door. He had always been killed and revived.

    The third round, they were on opposite sides again. Ruan Nian could not help but be confused.

    The other party replied with two words: SB. Then, a new round of ughter began.

    [ Hahahahahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. ]

    [ Amazing, this is mental torture. ]

    [ Angry younger brother is so scary. Hahahahaha. ]

    ¡°The user Po Xiao tips the broadcaster, Xiaoyu, a Myriad of Stars.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Sister-inw¡¯s younger brother to be so interesting.¡±

    A pair of fox-like eyes was filled with smiles. Outside the screen, Bo Xiao, who had witnessed the discouraged massacre, was amused. With a light tap of his finger, he sent a Myriad of Stars to Xia Yu.

    The Ancient Zither Association represented the ancient zither world. Being criticized like this would greatly affect the image of an artist. When Chen Yun saw this news, he hurriedly contacted Xia Wanyuan and asked for her opinion.

 Chapter 143 - One Day of Not seeing Each Other felt like Three Autumns

    <h4>Chapter 143: One Day of Not seeing Each Other felt like Three Autumns</h4>

    ¡°It was clearly that so-called artist who was spouting nonsense, but theizens were still so enthusiastic. Thepany leader even called me just now. How do you think this matter should be resolved?¡±

    In the past, no matter what happened, Chen Yun would never look for Xia Wanyuan. One reason was that she would not care, and the other was that asking her was equivalent to not asking.

    But at some point in time, whenever something happened, Chen Yun would always subconsciously ask Xia Wanyuan what she thought, as if he was looking for a backbone.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take a look at Weiboter. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan opened the Weibo ount that she rarely used. She casually clicked on ament to @ her and found Guo Tian¡¯s Weibo post.

    In fact, counting the decades in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan was actually not only twenty years old.

    No one would believe that her piano skills were yed by a 20-year-old girl. It was normal for Guo Tian to not believe it.

    Xia Wanyuan casually swiped upwards and saw the link to the payment for his own song that Guo Tian had sent.

    It was a stark contrast to the criticism that he had given to Xia Wanyuan about her tarnishing the Feng Xiqin with copper.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. She had not nned to bicker with this artist. After all, in a sense, what he said was not a problem.

    However, the act of scolding her to attract attention and then using it to sell his works was really despicable.

    Just as she was about to call Chen Yun back, she unexpectedly received a call from Shen Qian.

    Shen Qian was an extremely capable person. If there was nothing wrong, he wouldn¡¯t have called her. Xia Wanyuan wondered if there was a problem with the Xia family¡¯spany.

    ¡°Hello.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Director Xia, there¡¯s a problem with the capital chain.¡± Shen Qian was in a difficult position.

    ¡°What is the specific problem?¡±

    ¡°The 50 million you gave me has already arrived, but the 20 million we agreed on with the China Xuan Fund hasn¡¯t arrived yet. I¡¯ve tried my best to negotiate, but CEO Xuan sent news that he wants you to personally go and negotiate.¡±

    Shen Qian used all sorts of methods but still couldn¡¯t move the China Xuan Fund in the slightest. The other party had pointed out that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to negotiate, so Shen Qian had no choice but toe and look for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Got it. Do your other work first. I¡¯ll settle this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not see through Xuan Sheng. He was too fickle. He was making things difficult for her after signing the contract with the Xia familypanyst time.

    ¡°When did I ask you to change your spokesperson?¡±

    In the office of Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng was wearing a ck shirt with the buttons only buttoned up to his chest. He leanedzily on the chair and tapped the table from time to time.

    His originally soft voice was very prominent in the quiet office. Every sound frightened Manager Liu, who was standing in front of the desk, until he broke out in a cold sweat.

    He was the person in charge of a subsidiarypany that could not be any lower anymore. When he suddenly received a call from the headquarters of the corporation today, he was extremely uneasy. Thinking of the matter with Xia Wanyuan, he wondered if the headquarters had regretted it again.

    After he arrived, the secretary dragged him to the Crown Prince of Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng. He felt that his life was not good anymore.

    ¡°Young Master¡­ Yes¡­ It¡¯s like this. Back then, I asked the people at the headquarters and they told me that we should select our spokesperson ording to the rules¡­ so I¡­¡±

    When he heard Xuan Sheng¡¯s questioning tone, Manager Liu cursed in his heart. There must be a problem with the spokesperson this time. Hence, his voice trembled when he answered the question.

    ¡°Ha.¡± Xuan Sheng suddenlyughed softly.

    Manager Liu looked up and met Xuan Sheng¡¯s smiling amorous eyes. His heart turned cold.

    ¡°Select ording to the rules? You chose such trash?¡±

    ¡°I know I was wrong. Young Master, I¡¯ll get them to cancel the contract with Ruan Yingyu when I get back.¡± The person-in-charge clenched his fists nervously. His career would probably be over today.

    ¡°No need, give it to her. As for you, you¡¯re useless. You can go.¡±

    That so-called Ruan person had also let him get to know Xia Wanyuan. He would just treat it as a return gift.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Young Master.¡± Manager Liu had long expected to be fired and had been extremely nervous. Now that Xuan Sheng had finished speaking, he felt as if the rock in his heart had been put down.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia is here.¡± The assistant knocked on the door and entered to inform Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± With that, Xuan Sheng stood up and left with his assistant. Manager Liu quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead and left the office.

    After being brought into Xuan Sheng¡¯s private office by the secretary, Xia Wanyuan removed her sunsses and mask.

    Unlike the arrogance and charm that Xuan Sheng disyed, his office style was not exaggerated. Instead, it exuded a low-key luxury.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa. On the table in front of her was a messy chessboard. After taking a serious look, she realized that this was a dead game.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡±

    Xuan Sheng pushed open the office door and saw a beautiful and exquisite side profile. His eyes lit up.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up. Although she was unhappy with Xuan Sheng¡¯s teasingst time, as an investor of the Xia familypany, Xia Wanyuan should be courteous.

    ¡°Tsk, Miss Xia, you¡¯re treating me like an outsider. Just call me Xuan Sheng.¡± Xuan Sheng walked to sit opposite Xia Wanyuan and stretched out his hand, indicating for her to sit.

    ]¡±The contract has already been signed. CEO Xuan, are you going back on your word?¡± Xia Wanyuan was not familiar with Xuan Sheng, so she did not think of calling his name directly.

    ¡°Of course not.¡± Xuan Sheng poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, have you heard of an ancient saying?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling Xuan Sheng to continue.

    ¡°A day apart feels like three autumns.¡±

    Xuan Sheng sat back on the sofa and tilted his head. His ck ear studs exuded a hint of evilness, and his amorous peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°It¡¯s been more than ten autumns since I separated from Miss Xiast time. I miss you so much. Miss Xia, you¡¯re so difficult to invite, so I can only do this.¡±

    In fact, Xuan Sheng did not expect Xia Wanyuan to reallye. After all, an investment of 20 million dors was nothing to Jun Shiling.

    As long as Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling, the money would be easy to get. There was no need to discuss investments with him.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan really came. It seemed that their rtionship was not as close as he had imagined.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was as usual. She even drank a mouthful of tea calmly.

    Xuan Sheng had thought of countless possible reactions from Xia Wanyuan, but he had never thought of this.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s indifferent expression, Xuan Sheng felt that it was very interesting. He could not help but smile.

    ¡°Miss Xia, do you usually treat your admirers like this?¡±

    ¡°No one admires me.¡± Xia Wanyuan swallowed a mouthful of tea and savored the aftertaste. She felt that Xuan Sheng¡¯s tea was not bad. ¡°What¡¯s the name of your tea?¡±

 Chapter 144 - Like My Heart, Defeated

    <h4>Chapter 144: Like My Heart, Defeated</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s Snowing in the Wind. If you like, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I was just asking.¡±

    After being interrupted by Xia Wanyuan, the charming and gentle atmosphere that Xuan Sheng had deliberately created was gone. He nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was calmly drinking tea. Xuan Sheng did not know if she had done it intentionally or not.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to make things difficult for you. It¡¯s just that when I signed the contract with your father, there was a use that was controversial. Now that the Xia family has changed Chairman, we naturally have to renegotiate this use.¡±

    Xuan Sheng tugged at his cor and became serious. He began to talk about serious matters with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Which one? Article 20 of the Council? Or Article 30 of the donation? Or is it thest piece of document 20?¡± Xia Wanyuan recalled the contents of the contract and asked a few questions that she found controversial after reading the contract.

    As Xia Wanyuan reported the conditions one by one, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    The few things that Xia Wanyuan had mentioned were all problems that the investment department of Glory World Corporation had found out after multiple checks. It was really unexpected that Xia Wanyuan could point them out without thinking.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about the contractter.¡± Xuan Sheng, who was just discussing serious matters, suddenly pulled the chessboard over. ¡°Miss Xia, do you want to y a round?¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Xuan Sheng had already ced a ck piece on the middle of the chessboard.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the chessboard, took out a white piece, and surrounded the ck stones.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up as he ced another stone.

    After dozens of rounds, no matter how Xuan Sheng nned, he could not break through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s encirclement.

    ¡°Impressive. I think it¡¯s going to be a draw.¡± Having failed another breakthrough, Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration.

    ¡°A draw??¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled gently. Xuan Sheng felt that it was the third month of spring and that it was filled with flowers. ¡°I have never attacked.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile distracted him. By the time he realized what she had said and looked at the chessboard, the ck stones had already been utterly defeated.

    ¡°Looks like.¡± Xuan Sheng threw away the remaining ck stones in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the desk.

    When Xuan Sheng returned to the sofa after taking the contract, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t ask him what it looked like.

    Xuan Sheng could only speak himself. ¡°Are you not going to tell me what does it look like?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t ask. In the end, it¡¯s something I don¡¯t want to hear.¡± After a few interactions, Xia Wanyuan really didn¡¯t have any hopes of Xuan Sheng saying nice things.

    ¡°Haha, Miss Xia, you¡¯re so interesting.¡± Xuan Sheng ced the contract in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What I wanted to say just now was that the defeated chessboard is like my heart, which had lost all its armor after meeting Miss Xia.¡±

    ¡°As expected, it¡¯s something I don¡¯t want to hear,¡± Xia Wanyuan said without looking up as she read the contract.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up. He did not speak further and took the contract to discuss the controversial use with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Old Guo, it¡¯s not easy for youngdies either. Aren¡¯t you going too far?¡±

    Seeing that Guo Tian¡¯s Weibo was causing more and more controversy on the Inte, the number ofizens who surged to scold Xia Wanyuan increased.

    In the office, Guo Tian saw that he was editing a new Weibo post again. His colleague could not stand it anymore and tried to persuade him.

    ¡°Old Li, are you jealous of my zither music being sold for money? That kind of zither music was never something Xia Wanyuan could y. I was just telling the truth.¡±

    As he spoke, Guo Tian sessfully sent another Weibo post.

 Chapter 145 - Xiao Baos Suffering

    <h4>Chapter 145: Xiao Bao¡¯s Suffering</h4>

    ¡°Sigh, we¡¯re used to living in poverty our entire lives for the people who make a living out of zithers. Why would I be jealous of you?¡±

    He had originally advised him out of goodwill, but who would have thought that he would be said to be jealous of him? His colleague was toozy to talk to Guo Tian anymore.

    In the association, Guo Tian liked to use his seniority to ostracize his colleagues and suppress his juniors.

    Over the years, traditional culture had been declining faster and faster. Most of the people who yed the zither relied on their passion and beliefs. In the end, in this purend, Guo Tian even liked to form gangs and fight for profits. Everyone was dissatisfied with him.

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s settled then. The investment funds will be ready tomorrow.¡±

    Almost an hourter, Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng finally finalized the oue of the contract.

    Xuan Sheng was a person who spoke frivolously usually. However, when she really negotiated with him, she would feel that his logic was tight and his thinking was precise. If she was not careful, he would fall into his trap.

    While Xia Wanyuan was secretly shocked, Xuan Sheng had practically refreshed his understanding of her.

    Thest time Shen Qian was present, Shen Qian had helped her resolve some problems.

    And this time, Xia Wanyuan hade alone. Every detail of her negotiations with him showed this woman¡¯s ability.

    Xuan Sheng had interacted with elites of all fields on Erhua Street, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability was only higher than those elites.

    ¡°Miss Xia, perhaps the canary can leave the cage and go to the end of the world?¡± After the contract discussion, seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to leave, Xuan Sheng suddenly said something without rhyme or reason.

    Xia Wanyuan paused and turned to look at Xuan Sheng. ¡°No matter how vast the world is, a canary is still a canary. It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m not a canary, and CEO Xuan is also not a vast world.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan left the office.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xuan Sheng thought for a while. After a while, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes were dyed with a smile again. ¡°Eagle, ha, your ws are quite sharp.¡±

    She had been dyed at Xuan Sheng¡¯s for a long time. By the time she got home, Xiao Bao had already finished school.

    However, the little dumpling did not look very happy today.

    He sat at the entrance with an aggrieved expression on his face. He kept looking out of the door, wanting to see if Xia Wanyuan was back.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± When the little dumpling saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure appear, he waved at her enthusiastically. However, his spirits immediately dampened.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you unhappy today?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. In the past, whenever Xiao Bao saw her, he would run over and kiss her from afar. Today, Xiao Bao looked very unhappy and did not stick to her anymore.

    ¡°Mommy, you and Daddy aren¡¯t qualified parents.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes darted around before he said.

    ¡°Then tell me, how did we fail?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat by the door with Xiao Bao and pulled him into her arms.?<i>This little ancestor must have watched some cartoon today, which triggered his thoughts about parent and child rtionship.</i>

    ¡°The Red Wolf and the Gray Wolf always bring Little Gray to the amusement park to y. You never brought me there.¡± Xiao Bao pouted pitifully.?<i>¡®Bad Daddy, I¡¯ve been asked to read and write every day, but you¡¯ve never brought me to the amusement park.¡¯</i>

    Jun Shiling got out of the car and was about to walk home when he saw the two people sitting at the entrance looking at him.

    ¡­¡­¡­

 Chapter 146 - Zither Arts Challenge

    <h4>Chapter 146: Zither Arts Challenge</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Hearing Xiao Bao mention the amusement park, Xia Wanyuan realized that she had never been there before. Ever since she came to the modern world, she had only seen pictures of amusement parks in books.

    It seemed that children yed there more.

    ?

    However, as an ignorant old antique from a thousand years ago, she actually wanted to see what modern amusement facilities were like.

    She immediately agreed to bring Xiao Bao there, but Xiao Bao insisted that without Jun Shiling, their family would not beplete. Hence, Xia Wanyuan agreed to wait for Jun Shiling toe back and ask if he wanted to go with them.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling would definitely not go. Those cartoon facilities that were filled with innocence did not match Jun Shiling at all.

    She sat at the door with Xiao Bao for a long time and finally waited for Jun Shiling toe back.

    ¡°Why are you sitting at the door?¡±

    ¡°Daddy! I missed you!¡± Xiao Bao stood up first and pounced on Jun Shiling, hugging his thigh.

    ¡°What do you want to do now?¡± Jun Shiling knew what Jun Yin was thinking when he saw the look in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes.

    ]¡±Daddy, hug¡­¡± Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and looked at him with his big eyes.

    Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up and hugged him. Xiao Bao wrapped his arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and nted a kiss on his face.

    Then, he finally said his ultimate goal. ¡°Daddy, I want to go to the amusement park this weekend. Can youe with me?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned cold and he frowned. Xiao Bao knew that something was wrong and hurriedly called out to Xia Wanyuan, ¡°Mommy!¡±

    Receiving Xiao Bao¡¯s pleading gaze, Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked to Jun Shiling. ¡°Xiao Bao studies every day. It¡¯s not a bad thing for him to go out and y on the weekends. Besides, I heard that the amusement park is quite fun. I quite want to try it too.¡±

    Two pairs of simr eyes looked at him with the same anticipation. In the end, Jun Shiling nodded and reluctantly agreed.

    ¡°Wow, Daddy, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xiao Bao had achieved his goal. He struggled to get off Jun Shiling and ran into the house to find histest toy friend.

    ......

    His son, who had been acting coquettishly just a moment ago, suddenly returned to his original nature. Jun Shiling suddenly regretted agreeing to Jun Yin.

    After the live broadcastst night, his fans told Ruan Nian that the person who had been killing him was actually Xia Yu.

    Not only did he surpass him in every aspect, but he also made him aughing stock in everyone¡¯s eyes. Ruan Nian hated Xia Yu to the core.

    Since they had already fallen out, Ruan Nian no longer hid his hatred for Xia Yu. From the beginning of the live-stream, he spoke about what Xia Yu had donest night. If not for the civilized and courteous request in the live-stream, Ruan Nian would probably have cursed in the live-stream.

    Ruan Nian started the live-stream as usual and entered the game. Then, he saw the familiar ID opposite him.

    In the first round, he died 14 times.

    The second time, he died fifteen times.

    The third one, he died 16 times.

    ...¡­..

    Although Ruan Nian kept telling himself to calm down and not let othersugh at him, anyone who could not leave the tower after ying a game would die. When the entire scene switched between death and revival, their mentality would copse.

    Finally, after an hour of live broadcast, Ruan Nian couldn¡¯t stand Xia Yu¡¯s endless pursuit in the game. Thements were filled with mockery and ridicule. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore and switched off the live broadcast.

    Xia Yu exited Ruan Nian¡¯s live-stream and logged into his 100-star ount. ¡°I yed low-end games with idiots for two days and went to high-end games to practice.¡±

    [ 100 stars?? To practice? ]

    [ I¡¯ll admit defeat when you act like a BOSS. ]

    [ In the end, Xiaoyu won this battle to protect his sister. Ruan Nian is too pitiful. He was chased until he quit the game and quit the live-stream. Is that okay? ]

    [ Am I the only one who thinks that the broadcaster is going too far? Who would only spend the entire game killing Ruan Nian? ]

    [ The person in front, are you the only one who thinks that it¡¯s too much? Is Ruan Nian allowed to have a cheap mouth and not allow our Xiaoyu to take revenge? Xiaoyu did a good job. A broadcaster like Ruan Nian who has bad skills and bad character shouldn¡¯t be popr. ]

    Theizens were still discussing that Xia Yu, who was still outstanding in the 100-star match, had already won another triple kill.

    ¡°The user Po Xiao tips the broadcaster, Xiaoyu, a Myriad of Stars. Everyone,e and dig for treasure.¡±

    [ Wow, the rich guy has appeared again. ]

    [ Is this Xiaoyu¡¯s new fan? Wee, wee. ]

    [ Amazing. Is he going to give her a myriad of stars every day? The world of the rich is really monotonous and happy. ]

    The live-stream was lively, and so was Weibo.

    Ever since Guo Tian¡¯s Weibo post had been reposted by various marketing ounts, everyone had indignantly gone to the official Weibo ount of the styling entertainmentpany to demand an exnation from Xia Wanyuan.

    Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s silence seemed to agree with Guo Tian¡¯s words. She could not retort, so she chose not to respond.

    Seeing that there was no response from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, in addition to the increase in sales of Guo Tian¡¯s paid zither music, which had been brought about by the huge traffic in the past two days.

    Guo Tian had tasted the sweetness and wanted to make the fire burn brighter.

    Hence, as the enthusiasm of theizens gradually cooled, Guo Tian posted another Weibo post.

    @ Guo Tian: ¡°I¡¯ve been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response for the past two days. As an old person in the entertainment industry, I shouldn¡¯t be a busybody, but I really don¡¯t want to see pure art being used to fake things.

    Since Xia Wanyuan has never given the public an exnation, I hereby represent the public to issue a challenge to Xia Wanyuan. @ Xia Wanyuan, you and I willpete in the zither and be witnessed by all theizens. If you lose, apologize to everyone. If I lose, I¡¯m willing to withdraw from the art world. ¡±

    [ Wow, Master Guo is really noble and conscientious!!!! He volunteered for the masses and even used his career as a bet. Master is really a Master. Compared to Xia Wanyuan, who makes up lies, he¡¯s many levels higher. ]

    [ Although Master Guo won¡¯t lose at all, his courage to expose falsehood is still very admirable. ]

    [ Hahahaha, the Master of the Ancient Zither Associationpeting with Xia Wanyuan??? Master, aren¡¯t you bullying her? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t he trying to please the crowd¡­? He clearly knows that he won¡¯t lose, that¡¯s why he dares to use his career as a bet¡­ to post a payment link to his zither piece every day¡­ ]

    [ The person in front, I think so too. While mocking Xia Wanyuan for being smelly, he sent his own payment link. It¡¯s a little. ]

    [ Artists don¡¯t need to eat?? If the master ys well, what¡¯s wrong with sending a payment link? ording to you, should artists drink the air? ]

    Guo Tian directly tagged Xia Wanyuan, so everyone was waiting for her response.

    He had thought that Xia Wanyuan would escape in silence like she had two days ago. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would reply so quickly this time?

    Two minutes after Guo Tian posted on Weibo, Xia Wanyuan reposted Guo Tian¡¯s Weibo and said, ¡°Sure.¡±

 Chapter 147 - Fantasy World

    <h4>Chapter 147: Fantasy World</h4>

    [ Wow, can the vige finally connect to the Inte? ]

    [ Pfft, you even said ¡®okay¡¯. I feel like vomiting from your tone. You make it seem like you¡¯re putting on airs. ]

    [ I thought you would hide and note out. Your response was surprisingly fast. ]

    [ The person in front, you should say that she gave up her life rather quickly. ]

    Guo Tian quickly saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response and was secretly delighted that she had overestimated herself.

    @ Guo Tian: ¡°The Ancient Zither Association will be holding a concert at the Beijing Grand Theater in two days. I¡¯ll be looking forward to your arrival then, @ Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Normally, when the Ancient Zither Association held a concert, the people who came were not even seated in one row. This time, it was because of Guo Tian and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hot topic.

    Although everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan would definitely suffer a crushing defeat, they still wanted to go and watch the live show. As a result, tickets to the concert soared, five times more than usual, and it was difficult to get even one ticket.

    Beijing¡¯s Fairnd was thergest amusement park in the country. It was supported by famous fairy tales from both China and abroad. Various castles, oceans, mythical characters, and cartoon characters traveled through it as if people had really walked into the world of fairy tales.

    Due to theplete set of facilities and the fitting of the characters, the various special effects were rather realistic, making one feel as if they were in the real world. The Fairnd had always been packed with people.

    However, the Fairnd today was very empty.

    The night before, all the employees of Fairnd received news that it was going to have a day off.

    Such things had happened in the past too. Typically, some important person woulde for an inspection.

    Everyone silently mourned for their boss.?<i>How much money would he lose after a day of suspension?</i>

    However, at that moment, the owner of the theme park was humming a little tune happily when he saw the high booking fee from the Jun Corporation.

    The staff that Lin Jing had sent were already in position at the theme park.

    It waste spring, and the temperature during the day was already very high. Furthermore, Jun Shiling and the rest had gone out after lunch.

    Xiao Bao wore a long-sleeved shirt with SpongeBob SquarePants and a bright yellow knitted shirt with Xia Wanyuan. This was what Xiao Bao called a parent-child outfit.

    As for Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao gave up on the idea of wearing matching parent-child outfits with him after receiving a warning nce from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mommy, this is delicious. Try this.¡± Xiao Bao handed the biscuit in his hand to Xia Wanyuan, then tore open the jelly on the side and tasted it. ¡°This is delicious too! Mommy, try it.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was sitting opposite, watched the two of them eat the ¡°junk food¡± in his eyes. His eyes were filled with disapproval, but seeing Xia Wanyuan eating happily, he couldn¡¯t bear to stop her.

    Jun Shiling had never allowed Xiao Bao to eat snacks in the past, but the old master¡¯s heart ached for his great-grandson. Every time Jun Yin lived in the courtyard house, the old master would secretly stuff some snacks into Xiao Bao¡¯s mouth to satisfy his cravings.

    But there was once when Jun Shiling saw him and scolded Xiao Bao fiercely.

    After that, Xia Wanyuan moved into the manor.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was not a glutton, she was very curious about everything in the modern world. Hence, when she went out sometimes, she would bring back whatever delicious snacks she saw to try.

    From the time Xiao Bao carefully scrounged for snacks beside Xia Wanyuan to the time when he openly showed them around the manor.

    When he saw that Jun Shiling was about to reprimand him, he puffed up his chest. ¡°I brought it for Mommy!!¡±

    Seeing that the snacks in front of them were half empty, Jun Shiling finally said, ¡°You just finished lunch. Don¡¯t eat so many snacks.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xiao Bao put down his hand that was reaching for the biscuits pitifully, his eyes glued to the bag.

    ¡°Try it. It tastes pretty good.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to read the documents, but a fair hand appeared in front of him.

    Jun Shiling looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan holding a biscuit with a smile.

    A look of helplessness shed across his eyes. Jun Shiling took the biscuit and put it in his mouth. To his surprise, the taste was not bad.

    Xia Wanyuan took out another one and handed it to Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao received it happily, then kissed Xia Wanyuan hard on the cheek. ¡°Mommy, I knew you were the best!¡±

    After an hour of driving, they finally arrived at Fairnd.

    Unlike traditional gates, the gates to Fairnd were made in an extremely realistic Forest of Fog.

    The traditional theme park was surrounded by a cement wall.

    Meanwhile, the Fairnd had been built into the shape of a strange stone forest. It was artificially created, and it was constantly emitting mist that surrounded the theme park.

    At times, there were witches riding brooms flying over the edge of the fog, and at other times, there were elves with shining little wings behind them, singing as they floated through the forest.

    Strange tree branches climbed around the simple and exquisite door. The thick fog prevented people from seeing what was in the garden. They could only see that there was an exquisite tower that reached into the clouds far away.

    asionally, an unknown bird would fly past the bushes. The sound of wings pping made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Seeing this strange decoration style, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up. She had thought that the theme park gathered many entertainment toys in one ce. She did not expect that modern people¡¯s thoughts were so magical.

    In the thick fog, a little elf flew in the half-space and slowly pulled open the door. It was as if no one had stepped into this fantasy world for a long time, and the old door made a heavy and slow sound.

    On the other side of the door, there was still only surging fog.

    Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in one hand and Jun Shiling¡¯s in the other. His eyes lit up as he looked at the little fairy floating in the air. He urged Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling expectantly, ¡°Let¡¯s go in quickly.¡±

    The three of them entered the door. To their surprise, there was argeke in front of them. Fog rose over the surface of theke. From the thick fog in the distance, an ancient sailing ship gradually approached. It exuded an ancient aura. On the mast in front of the ship hung a g with the skull logo.

    By the time they settled on the boat, it had pulled its anchor and was sailing away.

    ¡°Wow, Mommy, look at the mermaids!¡±

    An extremely beautiful blonde woman was lying on the side of a huge rock in the middle of theke. Under the woman¡¯s body was a colorful and dazzling tail that was shining with spots of light. Her huge tail was pping the water repeatedly, causing a ssh.

    At that moment, the woman was humming a song. Her soft moans lingered on the entireke as if she wanted to entice passers-by to stay in this water forever.

    The mermaids had gradually disappeared into the distance, and the singing on theke gradually turned into a spell that carried an ancient aura.

    Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the water and a low cry came from the bottom of the boat. It was as if something was waking up at the bottom of the sea.

    A loud cry sounded in the sky. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw a green bird with long wings pping its wings. It brought the three pairs of sses to the three of them.

    Xia Wanyuan put on her sses and was attracted by the scene in front of her. She couldn¡¯t help but take a step back, and Jun Shiling reached out to support her.

 Chapter 148 - Crystal Carriage

    <h4>Chapter 148: Crystal Carriage</h4>

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s help, Xia Wanyuan stood still and looked up at the sky again.

    A golden dragon rushed out of the water. The water droplets glistened on its scales. Its dragon ws shed with a sharp radiance as if it was about to tear the void.

    The dragon roar shook the entire water surface.

    The people of the Xia Dynasty admired dragons greatly, but they did not have the skills in ancient times. At most, they could only draw the image of a dragon on paper with their imagination.

    But now, she could even see the dragon¡¯s beard and hair clearly in front of her. It was as if she could touch its cold scales with a stretch of her hand.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed at the modern development.

    As the ship continued to move forward, the dragon was gradually left behind. It walked and stopped, and from time to time, characters from various fairy tales appeared on the way.

    After the pirate shipnded, there was arge amusement park. In the past, they had to queue for at least an hour to y one of the games. Now, there were only the three of them in the entire garden.

    Xia Wanyuan yed with Xiao Bao through all the facilities.

    Jun Shiling stood by the side and looked at the mother and son, who were ying happily. The expression in his eyes changed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

    Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the setting sun was already setting among the branches. Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were already a little hungry from ying.

    After dinner in the restaurant in the courtyard, Lin Jing went up and reported.

    ¡°Go and change with them. See you in a while.¡± After Lin Jing finished speaking, Jun Shiling turned to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little confused, but Jun Shiling would never harm her, so she left with the staff.

    ¡°Daddy, when will Mommy be done?¡± Xiao Bao held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and kept looking at the road.

    ¡°They should be here soon.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could finish his sentence, the sound of horse hooves came from ahead. Jun Shiling looked up.

    Three tall white horses were dragging a four-wheeled crystal carriage.

    The carriage was made of bright crystal and beautifully carved. It glistened under the light from the roadsidemps. The beaded curtains on both sides of the carriage clinked as the carriage moved.

    The carriage stopped in front of Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao. Through the faint bead curtain, one could see the person sitting inside.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao called out excitedly.

    A pair of fair hands slowly parted the beaded curtain. Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a crown, appeared in front of the two.

    Her shoulders were half exposed, and a pure ruby in front of her chest emitted a faint halo. The long gemstone earrings made her skin look as smooth as jade.

    Her eyebrows were dark and her eyes were watery.

    Under the light, the dazzling diamond crown made Xia Wanyuan look extremely noble.

    ¡°Come up.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at the two of them.

    Jun Shiling took Xiao Bao into the car and the carriage continued to move towards the center of the theme park.

    By then, the sky had already turnedpletely dark.

    The lights in Fairnd gradually lit up. Various characters and stories appeared along the way of the carriage.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the cartoon characters, animated characters, and all sorts of strange dressed spirits that kept shing past. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her eyes glistened.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was involuntarily attracted by Xia Wanyuan.

    Not long after, the carriage arrived at its destination. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw an extremely magnificent castle standing in front of her.

 Chapter 149 - Top of the Castle

    <h4>Chapter 149: Top of the Castle</h4>

    Jun Shiling got out of the car, pulled the little dumpling out of the car, and ced him on the ground. Then, he stretched out his hand towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on Jun Shiling¡¯s. The warmth of their contact made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skip a beat.

    The heels Xia Wanyuan was wearing were very high, and the hem of her gown was toorge. After giving it a try, it was a little difficult to get out of the carriage.

    Jun Shiling simply stretched out his arm and hugged Xia Wanyuan by the waist, causing her to sigh softly.

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s help, Xia Wanyuan stood still. She tidied the crown on her head and looked up to see Jun Shiling staring at her.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°You look beautiful like this,¡± Jun Shiling praised sincerely.

    Wearing a white princess gown and a crown on her head, Xia Wanyuan had her own noble and cold charm. Every frown and smile seemed to suppress the bright lights in the park.

    ¡°You look good like this too,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    She was not being polite, but she really thought so.

    When she was changing, Xia Wanyuan had also gotten to know the staff.

    It turned out that Fairnd had a special service for distinguished guests, which was to let them enjoy the treatment of a prince and a princess.

    That was why they had the crystal carriage and the exclusive gown and crown.

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling was dressed in a medieval royal outfit. The white square scarf and shirt inside were especially eye-catching under the contrast of the ck singlet.

    The dark red knight¡¯s boots with cross patterns were wrapped around his knees, making his legs look slender. Under the contrast of a coat that was almost knee-length, he looked noble. The coat was not tied with a single row of gold nails. It was only a pure ck belt that loosely tied around his waist, making him look elegant and noble.

    Jun Shiling had been in power for a long time. He had the aura of a leader, making him look extremely noble.

    ¡°Have you forgotten me?¡± Xiao Bao pouted, wanting to distract Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s cheek, then pulled him forward.

    The outside of the castle was already extremely magnificent, while the inside was extremely gorgeous.

    Countless flowers surrounded them, and all kinds of paintings were carved on the walls around them. The most eye-catching one was a spiral-shaped transparent staircase that rose to the top of the castle in the middle of the hall.

    Jun Shiling reached out to Xia Wanyuan, who grabbed him. As soon as the three of them stepped onto the first step, the color of the entire staircase and the surroundings changed.

    From the spring sun that was filled with flowers to the snow-white winter sun, from the precipitous mountain cliffs of the jungle to the magical Alice Paradise.

    With every step up, the environment, characters, and all sorts of special effects changed.

    Furthermore, every floor was decorated ording to the characters¡¯ settings in fairy tales.

    An elegant vampire prince stepped out of the ancient coffin and handed them a rose.

    A textile olddy hobbled over from the old attic and gave them a small handkerchief.

    Some flower immortals who were diligently picking honey among the flowers pped their transparent wings and brought a cup of sweet nectar.

    ¡­¡­¡­..

    They finally reached the top floor of the castle. This was a ce where they could look down on the entire Fairnd.

    As far as the eye could see, countless lights converged into a gxy in the darkness.

    At that moment, a loud sound suddenly came from afar.

 Chapter 150 - The Competition Begins

    <h4>Chapter 150: The Competition Begins</h4>

    An extremely bright light quickly rose into the sky from the opposite side of theke, and then transformed into a gorgeous flower that bloomed in the sky. Before the flowerpletely disappeared, another brilliant golden chrysanthemum leaped into the sky, gorgeous and resplendent. The gorgeous fireworks actually bloomed in the dark night sky, and specks of golden light scattered and overflowed with colors.

    Soon, colorful fireworks lit up theke in front of the castle.

    Huge fireworks exploded in the sky, and petals fell like rain.

    Xiao Bao leaned over the railing happily to look, but because he was too short, he could not find a suitable position after crawling for a long time. He could only turn his head to look for Jun Shiling.

    ¡°No snacks for a week.¡± Jun Shiling received Xiao Bao¡¯s begging gaze and made a request.

    ¡°Okay, Daddy, carry me.¡± Xiao Bao reached out to Jun Shiling.

    Only then did Jun Shiling go forward and carry Xiao Bao. Together with Xia Wanyuan, they stood on the high tform and looked at the mountains and rivers in front of them.

    ¡°Aiyo, why is it so crowded? Why are there so many people today??¡±

    Many of the country¡¯s traditional culture had been lost over the years, and most young people did not like to see these old arts.

    Hence, every time the Ancient Zither Association held a concert, it was always attended by those old fans.

    This time, they arrived at the theater as usual, only to find that there was a sea of people in front of them.

    ¡°They¡¯re all here to attend the Ancient Zither Association¡¯s concert.¡±

    Upon hearing the passers-by ¡®answers, these old fans were puzzled. They had never heard that the Ancient Zither Association was so popr.?<i>Didn¡¯t they say that they had no sessors? Why were there suddenly so many fans here?</i>

    Outside the theater, paparazzi reporters, who had heard the news, were already waiting there. They had even thought of the title. ¡°Shocking! An old artist and a famous starlet actually openly¡­!¡±

    In the backstage of the theater, looking at the sea of people sitting in the theater, Guo Tian drank a mouthful of tea smugly and even leisurely sang a little song.

    The other colleagues in the association felt embarrassed.

    Initially, when they yed the zither well and held a concert, they attracted people who knew the zither. This was an exchange between the performers and listeners.

    Now that Guo Tian had done this, it seemed like the Ancient Zither Association was using the poprity to increase their ticket sales.

    Furthermore, as a top-notch ancient zither master in the country, it was really despicable for Guo Tian to argue with a youngdy like this.

    After thepetition between Guo Tian and Xia Wanyuan was confirmed, many live-stream websites hade to ask Guo Tian for authorization to broadcast the entirepetition. After all, the venue of the concert was limited, and arge number of spectators could note personally.

    In the end, Guo Tian chose the small website with the highest bid.

    [ Coming,ing,ing. In the front row, there are beers, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight treasure porridge. Is there anyone who wants it? ]

    [ The person in front, give me a bag of melon seeds. Thank you. I owe you the money first. ]

    [ Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan? Why isn¡¯t she here yet? Could she have run away? ]

    [ It¡¯s soggy. What kind of lousy website is this? It¡¯s so lousy. Can¡¯t you choose a better website to live-stream? ]

    In the theater, most of the staff had already been seated. Since Xia Wanyuan had not arrived, the Ancient Zither Association began to y its own song.

    The lights dimmed and the hall fell silent. The melodious sound of the zither gradually sounded, melodious and long.

    [ Although I don¡¯t understand, it sounds pretty good. ]

    [ Is this called an ancient zither? How is it different from a guzheng? ]

    [ I¡¯m a little sleepy. When is Xia Wanyuaning? I don¡¯t understand the zither. ]

    [ I only know that the music is ying. Isn¡¯t ying the zither to me like ying to a cow? I don¡¯t understand either. ]

    [ The person in front, you don¡¯t have to scold yourself like this. ]

    [ Come,e, let¡¯s ce our bets. Do you guys think Xia Wanyuan wille again today? Although I don¡¯t like this ancient zither song, but looking at the master¡¯s technique, it¡¯s really amazing. Whether Xia Wanyuanes or not, the oue will be the same. ]

    Everyone scolded the server for being trash in the live-stream while waiting for Xia Wanyuan to appear. Who would have thought that the members of the association would y one song after another? They were about to finish ying all the songs for the concert, but Xia Wanyuan did note.

    Guo Tian smiled disdainfully. When the song ended, he took the microphone beside him and faced the camera. ¡°The concert is about to end. It looks like little friend Xia isn¡¯t nning toe today. Then this bet¡­¡±

    Before Guo Tian could finish speaking, the door of the theater was suddenly opened.

    The camera hurriedly moved to the door. Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a long dress, stood quietly at the door. She was like a lotus, standing tall and straight.

    ¡°Sorry to have kept you waiting,¡± Xia Wanyuan said.

    [ F*ck. She¡¯s so beautiful¡­ ]

    [ I agree. Has this face been sticized before? How can she look so standard? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan has already been ripped apart, okay? Is her stic surgery still a secret? ]

    ¡°It¡¯s good that little friend Xia is here. I thought that little friend Xia was not going toe.¡± Guo Tian put down the microphone in his hand and looked at Xia Wanyuan mockingly.

    ¡°If I don¡¯te, won¡¯t no one win this match?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked towards the stage in her high heels, looking elegant and neither servile nor overbearing.

    ¡°Haha, then I must ask little friend Xia for advice.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Guo Tian seemed to have heard an incredible joke, and his eyes were filled with ridicule.

    ¡°How are wepeting?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to waste her breath on a hypocrite like Guo Tian.

    ¡°Since it¡¯s apetition of zither skills, then we¡¯ll y the same song.¡± At this point, Guo Tian looked at Xia Wanyuan enviously and disdainfully. ¡°Did little friend Xia bring Feng Xiqin over?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan casually found a seat and sat down. ¡°I didn¡¯t bring it. I don¡¯t need Feng Xiqin. I¡¯ll use yours.¡±

    ¡°How can that be good? If word got out, they would say that I, Guo Tian, bullied a little girl like you.¡± Guo Tian was secretly delighted, but he still tried to make excuses.

    The zither that Xia Wanyuan had chosen was an ordinary ancient zither used by the apaniment. It was different from the one that he had spent hundreds of thousands of dors on.?<i>Even if Xia Wanyuan had extraordinary skills, could she y flowers with that zither?</i>

    ¡°Why are you saying so many hypocritical words when you¡¯re ying your zither?¡± Xia Wanyuan gently strummed the strings of the zither. She did not even nce at Guo Tian, but the words she said were directed at Guo Tian¡¯s vitals.

    [ Hahahahahahaha, what¡¯s with Xia Wanyuan being a little funny? ]

    [ What¡¯s so funny? Teacher Guo Tian is being nice. What kind of attitude is that? ]

    [ I think the most hypocritical person is Xia Wanyuan, alright? How dare she call Master Guo a hypocrite? ]

    [ That Guo Tian, he clearly knows that Xia Wanyuan can¡¯t win against him, yet he still says these words. Isn¡¯t he quite hypocritical? I¡¯m not Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan, and I think Xia Wanyuan is right. ]

    ¡°Hmph, then I won¡¯t be courteous.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words that did not give him any face, Guo Tian was toozy to talk to her anymore and sat down on his chair.

    He ced his hand gently on the strings of the zither and gently plucked. The melodious sound of the zither could be heard.

    Xia Wanyuan listened quietly for a while, and the corners of her lips twitched. This standard was really nothing. In her previous life, she might have been scolded out of the ancient zither world by her teacher.

    After Guo Tian finished ying the first part, he gestured for Xia Wanyuan to keep up with his rhythm. The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and she gently fiddled with her index finger.

    The hair of those who knew the zither stood on end.

 Chapter 151 - Magpie Bridge Immortal

    <h4>Chapter 151: Magpie Bridge Immortal</h4>

    The difference in how much the same tune could be yed was how precise the person who yed the zither had been in controlling the string.

    The high pitched sound in the melody was actually better than the low notes. When the low notes were yed, they needed to be suppressed. When the pressure was suppressed to a certain extent, the sound of the zither would be extremely calm and without fluctuations.

    Hence, to many people who knew the zither, watching a person¡¯s skills was equivalent to listening to their ability to control the low notes.

    What Guo Tian had just yed was a very famous ancient zither song¡ªthetter part of Magpie Bridge Immortal.

    The difficulty of ying this Magpie Bridge Immortal was considered average in the ancient zither melody. Guo Tian had never taken Xia Wanyuan seriously, so he casually yed a song that was not difficult. In any case, beating Xia Wanyuan was too easy.

    After ying a part, Guo Tian, who was leisurely waiting for Xia Wanyuan to make a fool of herself, gradually stiffened from the moment Xia Wanyuan yed the first note.

    An extremely low voice sounded from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fingertips. Although it was extremely soft, it made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Most of the audience present were not people who knew the ancient zither, but they could actually hear a hint of pressure from this light sound.

    The first paragraph described how the Heavenly Courts had sensed the fairy¡¯s private descent into the mortal world and were sending troops to the mortal world to capture the fairy.

    Xia Wanyuan gently yed it, and one smooth melody after another was released.

    It was clearly the same song as Guo Tian¡¯s, but Xia Wanyuan could bring everyone into a real scene.

    As the zither notes became more and more dense, mixed with the chaotic sounds of wind and rain, everyone seemed to see thunder rolling in the sky and clouds surging.

    Xia Wanyuan suppressed the sound of the zither to a very low volume. The entire Imperial Capital Theater was enveloped in an extremely low pressure, making it difficult for one to breathe.

    Gradually, the sound of the zither began to rise. Lightning and rain intermingled, and the world began to tear apart. It was as if people could see the two bitter lovers forcibly separated by the heavenly soldiers.

    Her lover was so close, but it was as if he was far away.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands quickened as she strummed the zither. The silver vase broke and thunder roared.

    Her lover was escorted away, leaving only one person on the ground. As she looked at the thunderstorm that filled the sky, overwhelming sorrow spread from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands, gradually infecting everyone in the theater.

    That sorrowful and painful emotion wrapped around the zither melody and entered his heart.

    Although the audience did not know much about zither music, they had the ability to sense emotions.

    Guo Tian¡¯s zither music sounded beautiful, but to ordinary people who did not know ancient zithers, they did not understand the meaning behind it.

    But Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music had truly poured her emotions into the sound of the zither, unfolding a magnificent epic tragedy in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    After a while, someone in the theater apuded.

    Gradually, more and more people apuded. Everyone was touched by the emotions in Magpie Bridge Immortal. A minuteter, the apuse gradually subsided.

    Guo Tian looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief.?<i>How was this possible?!! Even the most top-notch master might not be able to transform emotions into sound. How could a little girl like Xia Wanyuan achieve it?!</i>

    Not only him, but the others in the Guqin Association were also shocked, especially the president of the association. His eyes were shining as he looked at Xia Wanyuan excitedly, as if he had seen the hope of tomorrow.

    ¡°Continue, Master Guo. There¡¯s still thest part.¡± Guo Tian had been stunned for too long, so Xia Wanyuan could not help but remind him.

 Chapter 152 - The Princess Won!!

    <h4>Chapter 152: The Princess Won!!</h4>

    Thements were also stunned.

    [¡­ Is this real? ]

    [ Then, am I the one who doesn¡¯t know how to appreciate it? Why do I feel that Xia Wanyuan yed it better? ]

    [ Bring me along, the one in front. I think Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance is more infectious. ]

    [ Master Guo probably underestimated the enemy? I didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to really have some skills. However, I still think highly of Master Guo. Master Guo must have not yed seriously just now. ]

    On the stage, Guo Tian looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting calmly in a long dress, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

    The gazes of his colleagues and audience were a little strange. Guo Tianposed himself and became serious.

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t serious just now. Now, please follow me.¡± As Guo Tian spoke, he started ying the zither. Compared to before, he was indeed much more serious.

    Almost at the moment Guo Tian rose, Xia Wanyuan strummed the zither and followed him.

    The second half of the song was more rxed than the first half. With the help of everyone, the Cowherd could meet the Weaver at Magpie Bridge once a year with the permission of the celestial heavens.

    At this moment, the rhythm was rtively faster. In order to show off his skills, Guo Tian had specially changed his tone in many ces. However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music had always followed closely behind him and could not be shaken off.

    Although they had the same tone and rhythm, everyone could clearly hear two different voices.

    Guo Tian¡¯s melody was very good. He was skilled and his music was smooth. As expected of a member of the National Guqin Association.

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music followed Guo Tian closely. No matter how he unted his skills or how he changed them, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music did not stop.

    It was smooth and natural.

    As time passed, the Cowherd finally weed their first meeting with the Weaver. The Milky Way was their foil, and all the magpies in the world pped their wings to build a long bridge for them.

    At that moment, the sound of their zither gradually became lighter. Guo Tian followed the rhythm of the melody. The sound of the zither was smooth, but itcked a few genuine emotions.

    As for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music, it naturally made one feel relieved, grateful, happy, reluctant, emotional, and a series of other mixed emotions. It was as if everyone had be the main characters, experiencing the ups and downs of his life.

    After the song ended, Guo Tian¡¯s expression was extremely ugly.

    He had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan had faked her live-stream, but from her performance just now, Xia Wanyuan did have some ability.

    ¡°Little Friend Xia is indeed not bad. I believe that your music wasposed by yourself. I believe theizens also believe it.¡± Guo Tian restrained the emotions in his eyes and wore a smile on his face. He did not mention the oue at all and instead put on the posture of an elder.

    ¡°So, who won?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand from the zither strings and looked at Guo Tian coldly. Her cold gaze made Guo Tian¡¯s heart turn cold.

    ¡°For little friend Xia to be able to keep up with my pace means that you have true ability. For a young person to reach your level is truly not bad. Let thepetition be considered a draw. I am also considered an old person in the ancient zither world. If I continue topete, won¡¯t others say that I don¡¯t give young people space to grow? Haha.¡±

    Guo Tian looked unhappy, but he endured it in the face of the roomful of audience and the cameras in the live-stream.

    Just after hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music, he knew that her skills were not inferior to his. If he continued topete, everyone would probablyugh at him.

    However, he could not admit that he had lost. Back then, he had said that he had used his career as a bet.

    As a result, he could only consider himself as an older generation, hoping that Xia Wanyuan would be sensible and give both parties an out.

    ¡°I¡¯ll y first in the next round, you follow.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanpletely ignored Guo Tian¡¯s gaze. Her red lips parted slightly, causing Guo Tian¡¯s heart to turn cold.

    [ A little¡­ So valiant, I love her. ]

    [ Actually, Xia Wanyuan has already proven herself to be capable. There¡¯s no need to chase after him relentlessly. Isn¡¯t this too disrespectful to your senior? ]

    [ The person in front, what¡¯s wrong with you? It¡¯s that so-called Master Guo who insisted on fighting with Yuan Yuan to win, okay? So he was allowed to casually say that she was faking it and not allowed others to challenge him? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan a little too arrogant? She challenged him just like that? Who gave her the confidence? ]

    Amongst the audience, when they heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, they also began to stir.

    The fact that Xia Wanyuan could keep up with Guo Tian¡¯s pace meant that she was capable. However, if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills were better than Guo Tian¡¯s, that would be too much.

    After all, Guo Tian had been famous for a long time, while Xia Wanyuan was only 20. Everyone was somewhat suspicious.

    Ignoring everyone¡¯s doubts, Xia Wanyuan ced her hands on the zither and looked at Guo Tian. ¡°Please.¡±

    Guo Tian had no choice but to sit back down.

    The lights in the theater dimmed, leaving only two beams of light on Xia Wanyuan and Guo Tian.

    An extremely high note of the zither cut through the darkness, making one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Following that, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ten fingers danced as the deep and melodious sound of battle rang out. An army of thousands marched over on the smoke of war.

    As the battle began, the sound of the zither became even faster. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands, which were ying the zither, could no longer be seen, only a blur.

    In the beginning, Guo Tian could barely keep up with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pace. But from the moment Xia Wanyuan increased her speed, Guo Tian clearly felt that his strength was insufficient.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s speed had changed too quickly and the rhythm was too strong. Sweat broke out on Guo Tian¡¯s face as he tried his best to keep up with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tune.

    As a result, although the melody could barely keep up, his aura did not follow at all.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither melody was like a war song that urged thousands of troops on the battlefield, stirring up the hot blood in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    On the other hand, Guo Tian¡¯s ying was stuttering, as if he was a defeated general who had been beaten up.

    After the song, there was no need for words. Everyone knew who was better and who was worse.

    ¡°I hope that Master Guo will keep your promise.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and stood up to leave.

    The president of the Guqin Association had been reveling in the sound of the zither. By the time he reacted, Xia Wanyuan had already walked away.

    On the stage, Guo Tianzheng looked indignantly and awkwardly at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back.

    President Cai Qin walked onto the stage and bowed to the audience. ¡°Thank you for your support. Since the member of the association have agreed to a bet, we should keep our promise. From now on, Guo Tian will be removed from the Ancient Zither Association.¡±

    Upon hearing Cai Qin¡¯s words, Guo Tian suddenly raised his head. mes flickered in his eyes, but he had said those words himself. It was useless to say anything now, so he could only leave the scene dejectedly.

    Initially, the oue of this match was without a doubt in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    Hence, when the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan, Guo Tian, PK zither skills¡± appeared on the trending topic, everyone was calm.

    It was obvious who won and who lost.

 Chapter 153 - The Princesss Album

    <h4>Chapter 153: The Princess¡¯s Album</h4>

    There were alsoizens who casually clicked on it with the mentality of watching a drama unfold before being shocked out of their minds.

    [?????? Did they write it backwards? Is it confirmed that Xia Wanyuan won? ]

    [ I¡¯m afraid that there¡¯s a bug in my Weibo. I logged out to take a look once. Xia Wanyuan won?? Are you kidding me? ]

    [ I was at the scene at that time. I can testify that Xia Wanyuan is really too amazing. None of you know that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dazzling skills at the end. That so-called ancient zither master didn¡¯t even keep up with the rhythm. She¡¯s simply on the level of torture. ]

    [ Why are you saying it so mysteriously? Why don¡¯t I believe it? Guo Tian is a master of the Guqin Association after all. Why are you saying it like it¡¯s a three-year-old child? Are you afraid that Xia Wanyuan bought the Inte Water Army? ]

    Obviously, no one believed what theizens in thements said.

    But very quickly, the video of Xia Wanyuan and Guo Tian¡¯spetition was yed.

    A three-minute video was edited and the camera was pointed at their hands.

    To preventizens from nitpicking, the video blogger even specially prepared the words ¡°original speed¡±.

    [ If the blogger didn¡¯t mention the words¡¯ original speed ¡®, I might have already started scolding¡­ ]

    [ Oh my god, is that hand speed serious??? I was just asking if you saw how Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand moved? ]

    [ No¡­ I only saw an afterimage¡­ F*ck, how fast is this speed! ]

    [ If I had this hand speed, I would have been a King of Glory long ago (dog) ]

    [ I originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was useless, but I didn¡¯t expect her to be the king. She¡¯s too amazing. Although I don¡¯t know any skills in the zither, I can feel that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s melody is so infectious. Although that Guo Tian is from the Ancient Zither Association, he can¡¯t keep up with Xia Wanyuan at all. ]

    [ It turns out that the pot is calling the kettle ck. I guess that Guo Tian is trying to make use of the poprity of this matter to sell his works. I could tell from the way he posts the payment link every day. He just didn¡¯t expect to kick an iron te like Xia Wanyuan this time. ]

    While theizens were heatedly discussing, there were also people who expressed their curiosity about the tune Xia Wanyuan had yed. They ran to search for it, but the music app showed that ¡°the tune you searched for doesn¡¯t exist.¡±

    Hence, everyone had a strange guess. ¡°Could it be that Xia Wanyuanposed all the songs herself?¡±

    [ I think so¡­ Since it¡¯s proven that Xia Wanyuan has the ability to y such a profound melody, it means that the live-stream where sheposed songs on the spotst time was real. ]

    [ I think my worldview has changed¡­ I suddenly feel that Xia Wanyuan is a little amazing¡­ ]

    [ I¡¯m a student of the ancient zither. I don¡¯t think Xia Wanyuan is a little amazing. She¡¯s really amazing. She¡¯s the kind that has never been seen before and will never be seen again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don¡¯t know how excited our teacher was when he yed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tune for us in ss today. ]

    [ If she¡¯s so amazing, why didn¡¯t she show it in the past? ]

    [ Perhaps it¡¯s because she keeps a low profile? I¡¯m sorry, I already denied myself when I typed this line. If Xia Wanyuan keeps a low profile, I don¡¯t think anyone will dare to say that they¡¯re high profile anymore. ]

    These few waves of poprity not only allowed theizens to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability, but also allowed Chen Yun to see the tremendous power Xia Wanyuan had.

    Since Xia Wanyuan could y, sing, and write her own lyrics, perhaps he could get her to release an album?

 Chapter 154 - Picking up the Call of the Love Rival

    <h4>Chapter 154: Picking up the Call of the Love Rival</h4>

    He said he would do it and he did. However, Chen Yun alone would definitely not be able to do it.

    Hence, Chen Yun called thepany and told them that Xia Wanyuan was very popr now. In addition, Xia Wanyuan herself could write and sing, so he wanted to apply to thepany to create a personal album for her.

    CEO Wang, who had always been difficult to talk to, actually agreed readily this time. ¡°But Xiao Chen, you know too. After all, we still have to review it first. When the timees, bring the lyrics and songs over for me to read before we decide whether to release the album.¡±

    ¡°Okay, CEO Wang.¡± Chen Yun was a little puzzled, but he hung up the phone after chatting with CEO Wang as usual.

    Not long after, Chen Yun suddenly thought of something. He picked up his phone and looked at the memo. He patted his head. ¡°Aiyah, I forgot something important!!¡±

    Chen Yun had been paying attention to Guo Tian these few days and had forgotten that the publicity phase of the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± was about to begin.

    There was a watermelon television station in China that made variety shows extremely outstanding and had arge number of viewers.

    Every episode, they would also invite some celebrities to help out. Over time, many production teams of television dramas and films that were waiting to be broadcast would arrange a variety show with the Watermelon TV Station before their works were released into the market to promote their works in advance.

    This time, he had also benefited from Director Yang. Director Yang and the host of the popr variety show ¡°Happy World¡± at Watermelon tform were good friends, so he had obtained a chance for a variety episode for ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    Chen Yun had been too busy recently that he had forgotten the time. Now that he saw it, he was shocked. Tomorrow was the recording time, and he had not informed Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Oh no!</i>

    Chen Yun hurriedly called Xia Wanyuan to inform her about this.

    Xia Wanyuan had seen those variety shows on television before, and everyone was quite natural. All they needed to do was chat and y games. Hence, Xia Wanyuan was not too nervous. On the other hand, Chen Yun was extremely worried. He was afraid that if anything went wrong tomorrow, Xia Wanyuan would be criticized by the entire inte again.

    Thest time he had sent Xia Wanyuan an invitation to a meal, it had sunk into the sea like a rock. Qin Wu felt that he might have been a little rash.

    Over the past few days, Qin Wu did not dare to disturb Xia Wanyuan anymore. He could only read all sorts of news about her online.

    Qin Wu was extremely impressed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s talent. Thinking of the bad rumors about Xia Wanyuan he had heard before he met her, his pity for her grew.

    Since the variety program was going to start filming tomorrow, Qin Wu wanted to use this opportunity to contact Xia Wanyuan.?<i>She shouldn¡¯t reject me, right?</i>

    Hence, Qin Wu simted what tone he should speak in and how he should start. He even thought of a few reactions that Xia Wanyuan might have.

    He coughed lightly and cleared his throat before calling Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Beep-beep.¡±

    The phone rang a few times. Thinking that Xia Wanyuan might be busy and that her phone was not by her side, Qin Wu prepared to hang up.

    At that moment, the call connected.

    ¡°Hello, Wanyuan, are you busy?¡±

    On the other end of the line, Jun Shiling gradually frowned when he heard this excited voice.

    Xia Wanyuan went upstairs to take a shower. Her phone was on the table on the first floor. Jun Shiling hade over to take a look because her phone had been ringing non-stop.

    In the end, he saw the name Qin Wu on her phone.

    Thinking of the WeChat message that invited Xia Wanyuan to eat dessert, Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t help but press the answer button.

 Chapter 155 - Daddy, Do You Love Mommy?

    <h4>Chapter 155: Daddy, Do You Love Mommy?</h4>

    ¡°Wanyuan? Are you listening?¡± Qin Wu asked curiously.

    He took the phone and nced at it to confirm that the signal was still connected. He could not help but wonder why no one spoke when the call connected.

    ¡°She¡¯s in the shower. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    A low and maic male voice sounded from the phone. Qin Wu was stunned.

    ¡°Is this Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone?¡± Qin Wu asked with thest bit of hope.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    A deep voice sounded from the other end. Just one word destroyed Qin Wu¡¯s mental defenses. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m her colleague. I didn¡¯t know¡­ I just wanted to remind her not to bete for the variety show recording tomorrow. I didn¡¯t mean to disturb you. Goodbye.¡±

    After speaking, Qin Wu hung up the phone.

    It waste at night and Xia Wanyuan was taking a shower when a man picked up the phone. It was obvious what their rtionship was.

    Qin Wu had a look of disappointment and frustration. It was unknown who had obtained Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful heart.

    Hearing the disconnected sound on the phone, Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up her phone, and went upstairs.

    The moment he opened the bedroom door, he saw Xia Wanyuan massaging Xiao Bao¡¯s legs with her hair half wet.

    Xia Wanyuan had just taken a shower inside and was about to blow dry her hair when she heard a thud from outside.

    When she pushed open the door, Xiao Bao fell onto the carpet with his legs crossed. His big eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Boohoo, Mommy, I fell.¡±

    Xiao Bao yed Ultraman and the big monster on the bed, each ying two roles. One moment, he would run to the bed to y Ultraman, the other moment, he would run to the end of the bed to y the monster, and he would even fight with himself.

    While he was having fun, he identally tripped on the nket and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the wool nket on the ground was thick enough. It was just a little red from the fall and he did not bleed.

    Amused, Xia Wanyuan picked Xiao Bao up and examined him. There was nothing wrong with him, so she gently massaged him.

    ¡°Mommy, treat me well. Mommy, I love you. Do you love me too?¡± Xiao Bao nestled in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, feeling the warmth and care that came from her.

    ¡°Mm, I love you.¡± Xia Wanyuan kissed Xiao Bao¡¯s forehead. Xiao Bao jumped up happily and looked up to see Jun Shiling walking into the house.

    ¡°How can you fall down from the bed at such an old age?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao coldly.

    ¡°Daddy, you said yesterday that I was too young and had no self-control. You didn¡¯t let me keep the milk candy can myself!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Jun Shiling, who had always been sessful in the business world, choked for once.

    Afterforting Xiao Bao, he went to read theic book happily. Xia Wanyuan touched her hair. It was still wet.

    Just as she was about to get the hairdryer, she saw Jun Shilinging over with it.

    ¡°Sit tight.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to blow dry her hair, Xia Wanyuan did not decline. Since it was not the first time, she sat on the sofa by the bed.

    Jun Shiling gently grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wet hair while drying it with the hairdryer.

    After reading aic, Xiao Bao looked up and saw Jun Shiling standing behind Xia Wanyuan, gently blowing her hair.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Jun Shiling put down the hairdryer.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to stroke her hair. It was almost dry, so she prepared to go to bed.

    However, when she turned around, she saw Xiao Bao staring at her and Jun Shiling with his big eyes.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan thought that Xiao Bao¡¯s leg was hurting.

    ¡°Daddy, do you love Mommy?¡±

    Xiao Bao did not answer Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question but asked Jun Shiling a question.

    In Xiao Bao¡¯s world, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle care meant that she loved him.

    When he saw Jun Shiling gently blow dry Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair just now, he felt as if it was like Xia Wanyuan taking care of him.

    ¡°Sleep.¡± Jun Shiling clenched the hairdryer in his hand slightly. He did not show it on his face, but he was shocked by Xiao Bao¡¯s question.

    ¡°Daddy, I¡¯ll sleep after you answer my question, okay?¡± Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling pleadingly.

    ¡°Mm, love. Go to sleep,¡± Jun Shiling said as he walked out with his back facing Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan.

    After receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s affirmative answer, Xiao Bao happily snuggled under the nket.

    Xia Wanyuan looked helplessly at the mischievous Xiao Bao, thinking to herself that Jun Shiling really cared about Xiao Bao.?<i>He must have said that just now to not make Xiao Bao sad.</i>

    What she did not know was that Jun Shiling was sweating as he held the hairdryer.

    The next morning, while eating breakfast, Xia Wanyuan was drinking soup. Jun Shiling, who was beside her, seemed to suddenly remember something. ¡°I helped you answer a call yesterday when you were showering. I think it was your colleague. His surname is Qin, and he reminded you not to bete for the variety program recording today.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡±

    When Jun Shiling spoke, he had been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not show much emotion at the mention of Qin Wu, Jun Shiling took thest custard bun on the table with ease.

    Ignoring Xiao Bao¡¯s using gaze, Jun Shiling ced the custard bun in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    The fuming Xiao Bao stopped caring about it, after seeing the custard bun being ced into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    In the backstage of Watermelon TV, everyone was busy preparing for the uing variety recording.

    ¡°Excuse me, where is the dressing room?¡± Chen Yun pulled a staff member and asked.

    A long time ago, Chen Yun had led a few gold medal celebrities under him. Now that they were also A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry, he had been to Watermelon TV before.

    Unfortunately, over the years, the artistes that Chen Yun had taken care of had be more and more muddled. He had no chance toe here, and he no longer knew the way inside.

    ¡°Turn left at the end.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Chen Yun brought Xia Wanyuan to the dressing room, where only Ruan Yingyu and the others were.

    ¡°The Long Bad¡± was originally a male genre production with only two main female roles, so only Xia Wanyuan and Ruan Yingyu were on the list of actors involved in the publicity of the drama.

    At that moment, there was a circle of people standing around Ruan Yingyu. Those in charge of makeup, hair, nails, and clothes were all very busy serving her.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, Ruan Yingyu nced in the mirror, jealousy shing in her eyes.

    Chen Yun made Xia Wanyuan sit on the chair. The two of them waited for a while, but no makeup artist came to help Xia Wanyuan with her makeup.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Someonee and put on makeup for us.¡±

    Going on stage was different from day-to-day makeup. One needed a professional makeup artist, a stylist, to correspond with the image of the artiste ording to the theme of the variety show.

    ¡°There are clothes over there. Pick one and try it on first. I¡¯ll do it for you when we¡¯re done here.¡±

    Beside Ruan Yingyu, a man with exquisite makeup was painting Ruan Yingyu¡¯s eyebrows while perfunctorily brushing Chen Yun off without even turning his head.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s look at the clothes first.¡± Chen Yun moved the clothes rack over.

    When he looked at it, Chen Yun¡¯s thick eyebrows furrowed. Even a straight man like Chen Yun would find the clothes on it unsightly.

 Chapter 156 - Gold-Medal Designer

    <h4>Chapter 156: Gold-Medal Designer</h4>

    Chen Yun casually took off the clothes on the rack. The clothes on the shelf were either short for the butt or long enough to moisten the floor. As for the dresses that were of the right length, their styles were simr to those of the previous century.

    Looking at Ruan Yingyu¡¯s clothes rack, they were all rather beautiful.

    In the entertainment industry, everyonepeted for benefits, especially since Xia Wanyuan and Ruan Yingyu were the two main actresses in the same drama. It was not the first time that Ruan Yingyu had targeted Xia Wanyuan.

    It was obvious that the clothes had been specially changed by Ruan Yingyu¡¯s people.

    However, there was no other choice. The makeup artist was upied by Ruan Yingyu, and the clothes were not distributed well. Although the short skirt Xia Wanyuan was wearing today looked good, it did not match the stage for variety filming.

    Chen Yun was thinking about whether he should go to the makeup shop outside and find someone toe over. However, clothes were also a big problem.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang.

    ¡°Hello? Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone and said a few words before hanging up the phone, signaling Chen Yun to go out with her.

    In the dressing room, Ruan Yingyu smiled smugly as she watched Xia Wanyuan leave.

    She had long checked the surrounding map. There were norge-scale makeup workshops within five miles of the Watermelon TV Station.

    With the traffic jam in Beijing, if Xia Wanyuan went to a faraway ce to put on makeup and change her clothes, she would definitely not be able to attend the recording on time today.

    ¡°Hey, are we not recording anymore? Where are we going?¡± Chen Yun was confused by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions.

    <i>Although the makeup artists in the television station had indeed gone overboard, there was no need for us to stop filming, right? This variety show was still very useful in increasing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fame.</i>

    ¡°We¡¯re filming. I¡¯m going to do my makeup.¡±

    ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    After leaving the television station, Chen Yun still did not understand where Xia Wanyuan was going.

    Until Xia Wanyuan brought him out of the back door of the television station and got into a ckmercial car parked by the roadside.

    Chen Yun was stunned when he saw the full set of makeup bags and a few clothes racks in the MPV.

    ¡°Miss Xia, hello. I¡¯m Liu Yun, the manager of Ya Zi¡¯s marketing department. Time is tight. Pick a set of clothes first, and then our makeup artist wille and help you put on your makeup.¡± An extremely capable middle-aged woman in the car smiled and greeted Xia Wanyuan and Chen Yun.

    Then, Liu Yun pointed at the clothes rack by the side, signaling Xia Wanyuan to choose one.

    The clothes on the shelf were all very beautiful, so Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at one.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get out of the car first. Call us when you¡¯re done changing.¡± With that, Liu Yun closed all the car windows and got out of the car with the other staff and Chen Yun, leaving Xia Wanyuan inside to change.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan rolled down the car window. ¡°I¡¯m done changing.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Liu Yun walked to a car in front and called for someone toe down.

    Chen Yun¡¯s eyes widened when he saw the person getting out of the car in front.

    That signature long silver hair and extremely punk-like clothes all showed that he was Mu Feng, the gold medal stylist known to be the most difficult to hire in the entertainment industry.

    At this moment, Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were extremely impatient and emitted thick anger.

    He was a genius designer that all the celebrities in the entertainment industry wanted to hire, and he was also the most domineering designer in the entire entertainment industry.

    Because no matter how high your status or how rich you were, as long as Mu Feng thought you were ugly, he would definitely not do your makeup.

    There was once an extremely rich first-rate female celebrity who was willing to spend five million dors once to ask Mu Xiao to design her outfit for the g. In the end, she was rendered speechless by Mu Feng¡¯s ¡°too ugly. I won¡¯t even do it for fifty million dors a time¡±.

    The entire entertainment industry could not hire him, much less Xia Wanyuan, who could barely be considered a C-list celebrity.

    However, this morning, his private phone woke him up less than an hour after he went home to sleep after a good night¡¯s sleep.

    The Old Master, who had always been angry at him for putting on makeup for others in the entertainment industry, actually asked him for a favor.

    If it were anyone else, Mu Feng would definitely retort with ¡°too ugly¡±.

    However, Old Master was clearly not among the others.

    Hence, Mu Feng came here with a belly full of anger despite his sleepiness. He wanted to see which god had disturbed his dream.

    He opened the car door heavily and looked up impatiently, only to see Xia Wanyuan tidying her skirt.

    Xia Wanyuan, who heard the car door open, looked up. The clear waves entered the jade, and the snow froze to the bone.

    Mu Feng felt as if all the anger in his body had been extinguished by this pair of cool eyes.

    What followed was like a painter seeing Goddess Muse appear again. His eyes were filled with rich inspiration.

    Back then, when Mu Feng chose to enter the entertainment industry to do the job that the old master said was not presentable, he felt that the feeling of being born beautiful in his hands was very good.

    Now that he saw Xia Wanyuan, Mu Feng felt as if all the styles he had imagined in his mind hade to life.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan bowed her head slightly in greeting.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Mu Feng bowed back and eagerly picked up the makeup box by the side, wanting to see what he could mold this woman into.

    Chen Yun was squatting by the road, and his phone was about to explode from the urging of the staff of the Watermelon TV.

    There was a preview segment before they went on stage. The people from the television station only realized that there was someone missing after clicking on their names. They hurriedly contacted Chen Yun.

    ¡°Aiyah, you can¡¯t me us for this. That makeup artist of yours is so busy. We waited for half an hour and no one came. Since the program is about to be recorded, we can onlye out and do our makeup.¡±

    Chen Yun had a look of disdain on his face, but his tone was extremely positive. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯ll be here soon! It won¡¯t affect the recording.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun could not help but mock, ¡°You¡¯re stepping on the high and supporting the low. Now you know how to be anxious?¡±

    ¡°Where is she??? The program is about to start. I don¡¯t even know where this artiste is. Go and call her manager!¡±

    There were only five minutes left until the show began. The other celebrities were already waiting in the holding area, but Xia Wanyuan was not here yet.

    ¡°Have you gotten through?! Where did she go? If you don¡¯t get her here soon, you don¡¯t have to work anymore.¡± The few makeup artists in the station relied on their little power and often stepped on the high and ttered the low. Everyone knew about the benefits fee.

    Normally, the person in charge would turn a blind eye to it. However, if anything went wrong because of this, he would definitely teach these people a lesson.

    ¡°He said she¡¯s here. Isn¡¯t that her manager?!¡± The staff member had just called when he saw Chen Yun walk over from the corner.

    ¡°Alright, inform all departments.¡± The person in charge turned on the walkie-talkie and was about to inform everyone to be ready when he suddenly lost his voice.

 Chapter 157 - Overwhelming Beauty

    <h4>Chapter 157: Overwhelming Beauty</h4>

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Producer Wang, what¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t there any sound from your side?¡±

    On the other end of the walkie-talkie, there was suddenly no sound. The staff hurriedly checked if there was a problem with the walkie-talkie.

    Meanwhile, backstage, almost everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and stared nkly at Xia Wanyuan, who was walking around the corner.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mint-colored chiffon dress that reached her knees. The flower petal design at the edge of the tube top made her look extremely arrogant and beautiful. Her waist was tied up, making her look slender.

    The material of the dress was extremely good. From afar, the mint-colored dress had a faintyer of water glow. Looking closer, one would realize that it was a specialyer of hydraulic embroidery embedded in the fabric. The extremely hazy patterns exuded a low-key elegance.

    A pair of jade-white high heels made the tall Xia Wanyuan look even more imposing.

    Her hair was tied into a bun with a crystal hairpin of the same color.

    Mu Feng¡¯s excellent makeup skills brought out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s facial features to their extremes.

    The most amazing thing was that ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothing style, Mu Feng had drawn a pale pink peony on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corbone, which had a few fluorescent lights on it.

    There was a thin ne around her slender neck. A butterfly embedded with fine rubies kissed the peony by her corbone as Xia Wanyuan walked.

    The dress was quiet and beautiful, while the butterfly movements between her corbones made Xia Wanyuan look full of vigor.

    Chen Yun looked at the silence in the room and felt smug.?<i>¡®Hehe, you bunch of inexperienced people.¡¯</i>

    He hadpletely forgotten that when Xia Wanyuan alighted, he was so shocked that he did not even hold his phone properly.

    ¡°Has it begun?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was like a clear bell, breaking the silence in the room.

    Only then did everyone recover from their shock.

    ¡°Over here. Come with me.¡± Producer Wang waved his hand, signaling Xia Wanyuan to follow him.

    Having been in the Watermelon TV Station for so many years, he had seen many top celebrities in his generation. In fact, he had long been immune to beauty.

    But just now, Producer Wang had truly felt the amazement that suppressed the entire scene from Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>This person will definitely be popr.</i>

    Based on his many years of experience, Producer Wang came to this conclusion.?<i>In this entertainment industry where new generations were sweeping away sand, perhaps the next person at the top of the wave would be Xia Wanyuan?</i>?His attitude towards Xia Wanyuan immediately improved.

    ¡°Alright, everyone is here. When the host begins, all of you can go out.¡±

    Producer Wang led Xia Wanyuan to her designated position. When he turned around, he saw that everyone was staring at Xia Wanyuan in a daze like he had just moments ago.

    Qin Wu¡¯s eyes burned with passion. He wanted to get close to Xia Wanyuan, but his eyes dimmed again when he thought of that phone call.

    Ruan Yingyu looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and outfit, and her eyes burned with jealousy.

    She had specially arrived at the television station two hours earlier. After being surrounded by five or six people for so long, she had thought that she would be the most beautiful person present.

    But the moment she saw Xia Wanyuan, she knew who the spotlight would be on tonight.

    Ruan Yingyu was furious.?<i>Why did Xia Wanyuan always turn misfortune into luck?!</i>

    <i>I had clearly snatched the makeup artist away and even changed her clothes. Why was Xia Wanyuan still able to find a way to resolve it?!</i>

    The cheers outside suddenly erupted. The opening music sounded, and the elevator began to rise. The recording began.

 Chapter 158 - Recording, Conquering the Audience

    <h4>Chapter 158: Recording, Conquering the Audience</h4>

    ¡°Next, let us give a warm round of apuse to wee the main cast of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ on stage!!¡±

    With the host¡¯s announcement, the atmosphere in the venue was stirred.

    The first to appear was the male lead¡¯s actor, Qin Wu.

    Qin Wu was handsome and had many female fans. As Qin Wu walked to the stage, the audience screamed.

    Next was Ruan Yingyu. As a new popr starlet, she had a lot of fans.

    The two people that everyone was most looking forward to seeing had already appeared. When the host announced the next person, the cheers were much less.

    Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu were the most liked by everyone. Therefore, many of the fan group leaders who had professional camera equipment had already begun to take photos with their long guns and cannons.

    When these fan group leaders sent the photos back to the fans on Weibo and edited them before posting them, they would attract arge number of fans.

    Hence, the fan group leaders raised their cameras and snapped at Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu. They searched for all sorts of angles and light to take the best photos. Only then could they attract more fans, so they did not notice Xia Wanyuan walking out from behind the scenes.

    ¡°F*ck¡­¡±

    ¡°Oh my god!!¡±

    All sorts of gasps suddenly came from the side. The women who were busy taking photos of Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu were stunned. They temporarily put down their cameras and asked the person beside them, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°You¡­ look at the one on stage¡­ Oh my god¡­¡±

    Following the fans¡¯ hands, the fan group leaders looked towards the stage.

    !!!!!!!

    They sucked in a breath of cold air.

    As fan group leaders who specialized in filming high-quality photos of celebrities, they had seen countless storms. However, under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty, they werepletely shocked.

    Although filming Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu could attract more fans to pay attention to the fan pages, who didn¡¯t like beautiful things, especially the ones that were so beautiful that it shocked the hearts of people?

    Everyone had originallye to film Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu, but after two hours of filming, the memory card was filled with Xia Wanyuan.

    The two hours of recording passed quickly. When the host announced that the recording was over and the program would be broadcasted next week, everyone felt a little reluctant.

    The main cast had already left the scene, but the audience was still thinking about the program¡¯s recording process.

    ¡°I¡¯m done for. I think I might be a fan of Xia Wanyuan¡­¡±

    ¡°Me too.¡±

    ¡°How can she be so beautiful? And the game segment just now was too amazing. Also, why do I feel like she knows everything from heaven to earth? F*ck, that¡¯s amazing¡­¡±

    The staff began to sign confidentiality agreements with the audience one by one to ensure that the program¡¯s process would not be leaked before the program was broadcast.

    Hence, when they left the television station, all the viewers were a little dazed. During the filming process just now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was too amazing!!!!

    It waspletely different from the rumors about her online!

    Everyone had a secret in their hearts and really wanted to share it with others. However, since they had signed a confidentiality agreement, they could only repeatedly reminisce about the recording in their hearts. They were only waiting for the day the program was broadcast to be shared.

    However, the photos that the fan group leaders took were not restricted at all because it did not involve any leakage of the program¡¯s schedule.

    Everyone went back and shook their camera memory cards. They eximed as they edited the photos. ¡°This is so beautiful! That one is also beautiful! Oh my god! This is even more beautiful!¡±

 Chapter 159 - Jealous Again

    <h4>Chapter 159: Jealous Again</h4>

    The Weibo page ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡± was rtively famous among the fans of the entertainment industry.

    It was a neutral fan page that did not participate in the struggles of the fans. It specialized in high-definition photos of various idols. Because the quality of the photos was extremely high, many fans followed it.

    Because the standard of ¡°The Wind of the Gxy¡± was high, basically all the photos that were released were top-notch. Sometimes, even if they were not showing their idol¡¯s photos, everyone was happy to lick the screen. Who did not like to see handsome men and beautiful women?

    ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡± seemed a little quiet today. From morning to night, it had not posted on Weibo.

    Some fans wanted to look for a few photos to change the wallpaper, but seeing that there were no updates today, they reminded her.

    Not long after, the Wind of the Gxy posted nine high-definition photos.

    The fan group leaders in the Milky Way were all very experienced. Their photography skills were quite high, and they were especially good at finding angles and making use of the changes in light and shadow.

    In the picture, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head in deep thought. The camera focused on her long eyshes. Her exquisite facial features seemed to be carved by God with the most exquisite carving knife.

    She was either standing sideways with a slender waist and glowing white skin. Her red lips and white teeth made her side profile look perfect and moving. One of her hair fell off her forehead, making her look charming.

    Perhaps it was because she was standing in the darkness and a light shone on her from behind, making her look like a fairy in the dark, light and moving.

    [ Wow!!!!! Who is this! She¡¯s too beautiful! ]

    [ AHHHH! She looks good, but why does it seem like she¡¯s a newbie? Isn¡¯t she too beautiful? Let me ask who this little fairy is! ]

    [¡­ Isn¡¯t this Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ Is this the Xia Wanyuan who is often scolded by people to get lost from the entertainment industry? Why would such a beautiful sister get lost from the entertainment industry? I have my new wallpaper! I¡¯m changing it! ]

    There were many fans following Wind in the Gxy, and the fan base was spread across all fields. Hence, this Weibo post gradually became popr.

    It proved that this was a world where appearances mattered.

    Even though everyone despised Xia Wanyuan in all sorts ofments, they could not help but repost this picture on Weibo.

    [ Tsk, no one can edit this picture. ]

    [ Can the person in front not be jealous? Can you delete all the likes of Ruan Yingyu on your Weibo first? ]

    [ I¡¯ve seen the video of Xia Wanyuan and Guo Tian¡¯spetition. I think she¡¯s really that good-looking¡­ ]

    [ Don¡¯t you know that videos can make one look beautiful??? If Xia Wanyuan really looked like this in the photos, do you think she would still be a B-list celebrity now? ]

    [ Look at the background at the back. Is she filming in the Happy World? Is¡¯ The Long Bad ¡®going to be released soon? ]

    [ AHH! I have a secret, but I can¡¯t tell you! I¡¯m holding it in so hardly! I just came back from the recording studio! I can only say that Xia Wanyuan is extremely beautiful in person! You will know when the episode is released!!! ]

    [ The person in front, are you serious? You make it sound like it¡¯s real. Are you a soldier that Xia Wanyuan hired? ]

    The inte was abuzz, but Xia Wanyuan did not pay much attention to it. At that moment, she was helplessly dealing with the passion of the President of the Ancient Zither Association, Cai Qin.

    ¡°Little friend Xia, I am truly and sincerely inviting you. Although our Ancient Zither Association is rtively poor, don¡¯t worry. You can make any request you want. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you. Even if you want the position of president, I can give it to you.¡±

    If one were to say that Guo Tian was an artist who was easily lost in fame and fortune,

    Then Cai Qin could be said to be a person who had run his entire life for his love and the inheritance of the zither.

    His family had learned the zither for generations. From the sound and string of the ancient zither, he could feel the sediment and agitation of Chinese culture.

    Over the years, the country¡¯s economy had developed rapidly, but its culture could not keep up, especially the Chinese musical instruments. They were never able to y in the world market.

    Even in their country, only industry insiders insisted that not many young people of the new generation were willing to carry this legacy.

    President Cai had originally been dispirited, but Xia Wanyuan had appeared.

    President Cai Qin was not only surprised by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite zither skills.

    He was even more surprised by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status as an entertainment celebrity.

    Over the years, President Cai had been searching for the junction between entertainment circles and traditional culture. On Xia Wanyuan, he saw that this cross-border bridge was slowly rising.

    Hence, he sincerely requested Xia Wanyuan to join the Ancient Zither Association.

    ¡°President Cai, I¡¯m very happy that you approve of me so much. There¡¯s no need for any conditions. I can join the association. The traditional instruments in China are actually very beautiful. I¡¯m also very happy that I can let everyone understand our history better.¡±

    Sensing President Cai¡¯s sincerity and passion, Xia Wanyuan was also very touched by this kind of artist who was truly dedicated to promoting traditional culture. She immediately agreed.

    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll submit the application to the association tomorrow. That¡¯s great!¡± President Cai was overjoyed.

    After putting on makeup for Xia Wanyuan and matching her jewelry and clothes, Mu Feng returned home and slept soundly until night fell.

    He was so sleepy that he did not have time to ask the celebrity¡¯s name after he was done.

    Mu Feng felt that his heaven-defying skills had finally found the person most suitable for it.

    Hence, Mu Feng took his phone and clicked on the female celebrity rankings.

    Although he was in the entertainment industry, he had never paid much attention to the disturbances and gossip in the entertainment industry. Hence, he could only look for the female celebrity in the morning from the rankings.

    However, even after scrolling through 100 ces, he still did not see any photos of that woman.

    Mu Feng was puzzled.?<i>That shouldn¡¯t be. From my point of view, that woman should be at the top level no matter what. How could she not be in the top 100?</i>

    He flipped through it for a long time but did not find it. Just as Mu Feng was about to switch off his phone, he saw the Weibo post that was posted on the homepage by ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡±.

    Mu Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at it. He gave Xia Wanyuan a hundred points and two hundred points for his skills.

    Then, he reposted this Weibo post.

    Mu Feng was unreasonable, but he was very capable. Besides, face mattered in this world. He had a lot of fans too.

    Caught off guard, in the Weibo ount of Mu Feng, who could be said to be the most difficult to deal with in the entertainment industry, the most cunning and most talented person, one found Xia Wanyuan. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with confusion.

    By the time Chen Yun sent Xia Wanyuan back to the manor, it was already night time. Xia Wanyuan felt very tired after recording a day¡¯s program on a ten-centimeter high heels.

    The moment she entered the house, she saw Jun Shiling sitting on the sofa, looking at the box of tea on the table in silence.

    Xia Wanyuan came over after changing her shoes.

    Jun Shiling looked up, his deep eyes surging with a hint of undetectable anger.

    ¡°Someone just sent this box of tea to the manor. They said it was for you.¡±

 Chapter 160 - Composing Lyrics and Tune, Releasing an Album

    <h4>Chapter 160: Composing Lyrics and Tune, Releasing an Album</h4>

    ¡°Who is it from?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rubbed her neck and sat on the sofa.

    Jun Shiling handed Xia Wanyuan a note, which she took to read.

    On the note, a sparrow perched on a branch. Its fur was shining and it looked lifelike.

    Xia Wanyuan knew who had sent the sparrow note over the moment she saw it. She took the tea box and sniffed it.

    It smelled like Snowing in the Wind.?<i>Good tea.</i>

    ¡°You know him?¡± Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions and his heart sank, as he asked nonchntly.

    ¡°A business partner. This tea is not bad. Do you want to try it?¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan handed the tea box to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling lowered his eyebrows and nced at the tea leaves in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, his expression cold. ¡°This tea isn¡¯t good.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling left in a huff and went upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s back in surprise.?<i>Why did it feel like he was angry?</i>

    But not long after, Jun Shiling came downstairs again with a jar of blue and white flowers in his hand.

    Jun Shiling took the Snowing in the Wind away from the table and ced the blue and white porcin jar in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    The porcin jar was bright in color and had a delicate texture. One look and one could tell that it was made by a famous master. It was expensive. If one used it to store things, one could imagine how precious the things inside were.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and asked.

    Jun Shiling removed the lid and the rich fragrance of tea immediately surged out. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up.?<i>Good tea.</i>

    Jun Shiling took the teapot by the side and directly brewed a cup for Xia Wanyuan. Without needing any other steps, just a cup of water activated the fragrance contained in the tea leaves.

    Xia Wanyuan took the cup. The tea leaves swirled in the tea. The tea was bright and clear. This was the quality of the top-notch oolong tea.

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip and felt that her mouth was filled with sweetness. A thick and strong mellow fragrance lingered around her. When she tasted it carefully, she could faintly smell the faint fragrance of orchids.

    ¡°This tea is really good.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s attention had been on the tea leaves just now, and only now did he realize how Xia Wanyuan was dressed.

    ]In the past, Xia Wanyuan had always been bare-faced at home, giving off a clean and pure aura.

    However, after putting on makeup, the beauty of her facial features was further disyed, making her look alluring under the light.

    As Xia Wanyuan raised her hand to drink her tea, the little butterfly-like ruby flew up and down on the peony on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corbone.

    It was obvious that the peony had been personally drawn. Other than the makeup artist, it was naturally not someone else.

    Thinking of the call he had given Old Master Mu this morning, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was filled with mixed emotions.

    ¡°Keep this and drink it. I¡¯ll buy more after you finish it.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked indifferent, as if the Da Hong Pao, the parent tree of Wuyishan that cost ten million dors a catty on the table, was like a cabbage in the field that could be found whenever he wanted.

    After Xia Wanyuan went upstairs, Jun Shiling summoned Uncle Wang. ¡°Throw this away.¡± Jun Shiling pointed at the tea box on the table.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Hence, the bottle of precious Snowing in the Wind was thrown away before it could be opened.

    On the Inte, everyone was confused by the Weibo post that Mu Feng had reposted.

    [ Prince Charming, has your ount been hacked?? ]

    [ Wow, who is thisdy? She¡¯s so beautiful! Mu Feng¡¯s girlfriend? Is this an official announcement? ]

    [ The person in front, is there something wrong with your brain? This is Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ How beautiful. I¡¯ve finally gotten a taste of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty. ]

    [ No, what does God Mu mean by reposting this Weibo post??? ording to God Mu¡¯s character, why would he help others repost and promote their Weibo ount? ]

    [ Didn¡¯t you guys realize that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s makeup was done by God Mu Feng? ]

    Everyone¡¯s attention had just been attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning beauty. Only after this reminder did they notice her makeup.

    The reason why Mu Feng was so popr was that he had perfectly implemented the traditional aesthetic concept of ¡°beauty is in the bones but not in the skin¡±.

    He was not like other makeup artists who drew ording to the same exquisite system.

    Instead, he used the bone structure of a person as the foundation to draw the most suitable makeup. Furthermore, the most amazing thing about him was that he could draw a pair of ordinary eyes and make them watery.

    Let alone Xia Wanyuan¡¯s originally beautiful eyes. Under Mu Feng¡¯s decoration, they were filled with thousands of emotions.

    [ No way. Does God Mu bow down to money too? ]

    [ The person in front, are you trying to be funny? Back then, the other party offered five million dors to invite Mu Feng once, but Mu Feng didn¡¯t go. Can Xia Wanyuan afford five million dors? ]

    [ Actually, I think Xia Wanyuan is quite good-looking¡­ Perhaps Mu Feng really did her make up because she¡¯s pretty. ]

    [ ording to God Mu¡¯s style of doing things, I think what you said in front might be right. ]

    Everyone was specting and arguing, causing an uproar. In the end, not long after, Mu Feng reposted it again with words. ¡°My technique and her face are perfect!¡±

    [666]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really lucky¡­ To be able to get God Mu Feng¡¯s favor, many people can¡¯t even dream of getting him. ]

    [ What¡¯s so smug about a face made from stic surgery? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. Look at her nose. How exquisite is it??? I don¡¯t believe she hasn¡¯t done it at all. ]

    Hence, everyone quarreled about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stic surgery for a long time. In the end, no one could provide evidence to prove that she had done it.

    After a tiring day, the quality of sleep was actually very good.

    By the time she woke up, Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao had already left.

    Xia Wanyuan brewed some tea that Jun Shiling had given her yesterday, then started to write songs.

    In the eyes of the outsiders, it would take a long time for the lyrics and melody of a song to bepleted.

    However, that was not the case. A songsted about three minutes. If one was inspired, they could finish it in a very short time.

    However, it would take a long time to umte experience and material to find this inspiration.

    And these were not problems for Xia Wanyuan.

    She had already reached an extremely high level of mastery over the rhythm of the melody.

    On the other hand, in terms of life experience and material, chaotic times, disputes, the rise and fall of the imperial court, the difficult days of the chaotic times, to reach the peak of the imperial court and be the leader of the world, it was enough for her to have endless life material in the entire world.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan sat by the window, drinking tea and writing a song.

    From eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, all the arrangements for the six songs werepleted.

    Then, Xia Wanyuan called Chen Yun.

    ¡°Hello, Wanyuan, CEO Wang is rushing us. He wants us to finish the song this month. Bring it over for him to take a look first. Have you started working on it?¡±

    ¡°What?!!! You¡¯re done?!!!!¡± Chen Yun was so shocked that he spilled the water on the table.

    <i>If I remembered correctly, I had just told Xia Wanyuan about releasing the album yesterday?!!</i>

 Chapter 161 - Master Yuan Wanxia

    <h4>Chapter 161: Master Yuan Wanxia</h4>

    ¡°Why should I show it to CEO Wang first?¡± In the original owner¡¯s memory, CEO Wang was not a good character. Hence, Xia Wanyuan instinctively felt puzzled that he wanted to read the song first.

    ¡°No, tell me first. Did you really finish the melody??¡± Although Xia Wanyuan had indeed been refreshing his understanding of her recently, this matter was too unbelievable. ¡°This is a new album. We can¡¯t use your old songs.¡±

    ¡°I know. The six songs are brand new. I¡¯ll edit them a little more and send them to youter.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry. You can think about it more.¡± Chen Yun was a little flustered. He was worried that Xia Wanyuan would be too excited for her first album, so she directly dissed six songs in a day.

    However, this quality had to be guaranteed. Chen Yun could only remind Xia Wanyuan tactfully.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan made a few amendments and packed the documents and sent them to Chen Yun.

    Chen Yun could not understand the group of musical symbols, so he forwarded the email to CEO Wang.

    In the office of the Jun Corporation.

    ¡°Have you found out?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded especially low in the deep office.

    ¡°The person did it very secretly, but we¡¯ve checked the satellite data and found out that the person who delivered the tea has something to do with the Xuan family.¡± Lin Jing ced a few photos in front of Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling recalled thest time he had met Xuan Sheng in the auditorium. It was because he had seen how passionate he was towards Xia Wanyuan that Jun Shiling could not help but walk forward.

    Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan had known that the tea was from Xuan Sheng the moment she saw the painting yesterday, Jun Shiling instantly felt upset.

    <i>They clearly looked unfamiliar with each other at the hall that time. When did this start?</i>

    It was rare for Jun Shiling to be in a daze in the office for a while. It was only when Lin Jing came to remind him to go to the meeting that Jun Shiling pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts.

    ¡°Redo.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a problem with the report.¡±

    ¡°The proposal design is not good, redesign it.¡±

    With a cold expression, Jun Shiling basically rejected all the proposals from the higher-ups.

    Everyone trembled and could not help but curse in their hearts. Although there was indeed a problem with the things CEO Jun had pointed out, CEO Jun seemed to be too strict today. He could even tell that the investment department¡¯s punctuation was wrong. His eyesight was simply amazing.

    Under Jun Shiling¡¯s pressure, the higher-ups once again experienced what it meant to be hot and cold. However, no matter how difficult it was, they had to endure it. After all, the Jun Corporation¡¯s sry was two or three times that of otherpanies on the market.

    Recently, in the world of Chinese arts that most people had not noticed, a new star had risen.

    The reason they had firste into contact with this painter named ¡°Yuan Wanxia¡± was because of a peach blossom painting brought by Professor Zhang from the Qing University Arts Academy.

    The long-lost boneless art was vividly reflected in this painting.

    Over the years, ording to the ancient books, many people had tried to recreate this painting method, but there were no restrictions on boneless painting. It was very easy to make the entire painting look soft and weak.

    However, this painter called Yuan Wanxia could use the tip of the brush as the tendons and the strokes as the bones, forcefully creating a boneless painting with unique vigor and bones.

    Everyone searched for a long time but could not find this master called Yuan Wanxia in the painting industry.

    From the painter¡¯s strokes, everyone determined that he should be a master of Chinese arts who had been in seclusion for a long time.

    In an instant, this Master Yuan Wanxia, who was called ¡°the legacy of the sea¡±, gradually became famous in the world of painting and calligraphy.

 Chapter 162 - Sending Long Critics

    <h4>Chapter 162: Sending Long Critics</h4>

    In fact, over the years, there had been a bad habit in the domestic painting industry.

    The idea that rare things were valuable had been popr since ancient times. Hence, some spectors in the painting world used people¡¯s curiosity about mysterious things to package themselves as a unique master. They actually obtained a lot of support.

    Hence, when the name Yuan Wanxia became more and more famous in the world of calligraphy and painting, it attracted the disgust of many people. After all, only some people from the Painter Association had really seen paintings up close. Other people had only heard of it.

    Many people believed that this so-called master was probably packaged.

    The most famous auction house in the country was Li Xin Auction House. In the most recent auction, a painting of a cold plum blossom from Yuan Wanxia was bought by a mysterious buyer for a million dors.

    Actually, a million dors was really not necessary for discussion in a painting and calligraphy market that could easily reach hundreds of millions.

    To be honest, in the world of painting and calligraphy, a painting worth a million dors was not even qualified to be considered as a beginner price.

    However, at that time, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting was auctioned at the same time as one from a slightly famous painter, Qian Yan.

    Qian Yan¡¯s painting was average, but he was experienced and had a small reputation in the world of painting and calligraphy.

    Coincidentally, Qian Yan had sent a plum blossom painting to the auction house back then, and the final transaction price of his work was 600,000.

    If it were anyone else, it would be fine. The key was that Yuan Wanxia was an unorthodox person who had appeared out of nowhere. She did not even have a reputation in the domestic painting and calligraphy world.

    Qian Yan was a rather petty person to begin with. After the auction ended, his colleagues in the painting world would sometimes mention his and Yuan Wanxia¡¯s plum blossom painting. This made him feel that his name had been humiliated by Yuan Wanxia.

    In order to avoid arousing suspicion, when Professor Zhang sent the ink que to the Painter Association, he announced that he had obtained the painting from the street market.

    How could Qian Yan allow an unknown painter to ride on his head? Furthermore, after confirming that Professor Zhang had nothing to do with this so-called Yuan Wanxia, Qian Yan posted a long article.

    The article did not directly attack Yuan Wanxia. Instead, he stood at a very high angle and started from the chaos in the painting and calligraphy market. He criticized the false elevation of the painting and calligraphy market and momentarily attracted the support of some people.

    Qian Yan was somewhat famous in the world of painting and calligraphy, but on the Inte, he was actually simr to ordinary people. Normally, there was not much attention when he posted on Weibo. After his long text was posted, the number of views did not exceed five thousand.

    However, this long text that was buried in the misceneous information on the Inte was like a fuse. Just a spark would cause a huge wave to explode.

    Seeing that the email had been sent for two days and thepany had not replied, Chen Yun could not help but call CEO Wang. Who would have thought that CEO Wang would repeatedly reject him? In the end, he said that the lyrics and songs were not done well and would not be released for the album.

    ¡°Wanyuan, don¡¯t be discouraged. The time you spentposing the lyrics and melody was indeed a little rushed. Make some adjustments. I¡¯ll discuss it with thepany in two days.¡± Chen Yun actually felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s six songs a day was too scary. Perhaps it was just that the quantity was not guaranteed.

    ¡°No need. He won¡¯t let me release it.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips parted slightly, and her eyes were filled with understanding.

 Chapter 163 - Another Alone Time

    <h4>Chapter 163: Another Alone Time</h4>

    ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡± Chen Yun was a little puzzled.

    ¡°Can you contact other recordpanies yourself?¡±

    ¡°I can, but ording to thepany¡¯s rules, this is against the rules.¡± Chen Yun was a little troubled.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go and find a studio. Don¡¯t worry about the rest.¡±

    The current Chen Yun still trusted Xia Wanyuan very much. Since Xia Wanyuan had said so, Chen Yun agreed.

    After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling returned to the manor.

    ¡°Do you have anything on tomorrow?¡± Jun Shiling changed his shoes and walked over to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No. Why?¡±

    Jun Shiling raised his arm and looked at his watch.?<i>There was still time.</i>?¡°Grandpa missed Jun Yin. Jun Yin won¡¯t be returning to the manor this weekend. I¡¯m going on a trip to the south. You cane with me.¡±

    ¡°South?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up. Ever since she was reborn into the modern world, her activities had always been within Beijing. The production team filming ¡°The Long Bad¡± was also in the south, but the production team¡¯s filming density was especially high, and they had always been in the film studioplex, so they had no chance of going out.

    Seeing the light in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, a smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Pack up. We¡¯ll go now.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan happily got up and went upstairs to pack up some things.

    At the entrance of the courtyard in the capital city, Xiao Bao was looking at the courtyard house in front of him with a confused expression.

    <i>Didn¡¯t I just sleep in the car for a while? Why did I wake up at Great-grandfather¡¯s ce?</i>

    ¡°Uncle Lin, why didn¡¯t you send me back to the manor?¡± Xiao Bao asked Lin Jing with his eyes wide open.

    ¡°Young Master and Madam are especially busy this weekend. Young Master was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to take good care of you. In addition, Old Master has not seen you for a week and missed you very much, so Young Master asked me to send you over.¡±

    Lin Jing squatted on the ground and looked into Xiao Bao¡¯s pure and clear big eyes. Thinking of the private ne that Jun Shiling had arranged for him to fly straight to Wuyishan, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

    ¡°Okay, Daddy and Mommy have worked hard.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently. ¡°Bye, Uncle Lin.¡±

    Then, Xiao Bao skipped in to look for the old man.

    At that moment, on the ne flying to Wuyishan, the lights in the cabin were switched off. In the darkness, under the moonlight outside the window, one could barely see Xia Wanyuan sitting by the window and Jun Shiling sitting beside her.

    At that moment, the ne was gradually distancing itself from Beijing. Sitting on the ne, one could see the bright lights of Beijing. When the ne gradually rose into the sky and flew into the clouds, one could see the stars when their eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

    In the distant night sky and the stars that filled the sky, it was the easiest to arouse one¡¯s emotions. Jun Shiling watched as the emotions on Xia Wanyuan gradually became sorrowful. His deep gaze looked at the side of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

    Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window quietly. Jun Shiling looked at her quietly. Gradually, the ne was halfway through the journey and it was raining in the sky above the city.

    The sky was just filled with stars a moment ago, but now, he could see the rolling thunder in the clouds outside the window.

    Suddenly, there was a strong gust of wind. The ne shook violently, and Xia Wanyuan fell forward uncontrobly.

    This was Jun Shiling¡¯s private ne. Hence, the two of them were not sitting in the seats of an ordinary ne, but on a veryfortable sofa.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to fall to the ground.

    A pair of warm hands wrapped around her waist and helped her up.

    Borrowing the momentum of the ne¡¯s side swing, Xia Wanyuan fell back into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    The weather now was no longer like when Xia Wanyuan had just arrived at the manor. Back then, Xia Wanyuan was still wearing a windbreaker sweater.

    It was already early May and it was almost summer. Xia Wanyuan only wore a thin chiffon shirt.

    Jun Shiling felt a ball of warmth in his arms. The heat from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body spread over him, and her curves were pressed against Jun Shiling¡¯s body without any reservations.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s throat tightened as he sent Xia Wanyuan out slightly, not wanting her to notice his reaction.

    The ne quickly passed through the city and returned to normal.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could get up, Jun Shiling had already let go of her.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan saw all the starlight that she should have seen. Jun Shiling switched on the lights, his expression calm. However, the trace of redness on his earlobe betrayed his agitation.

    It was already eleven o¡¯clock when they arrived at the hotel after nearly three hours of flight.

    Perhaps because she felt very assured by Jun Shiling¡¯s side, Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep in the car going to the hotel.

    The general manager of Junli Hotel waited nervously at the door for the legendary ultimate boss. Finally, during the 108th look, a car slowly drove over in the dark.

    ¡°Hello, President Jun.¡± The general manager bowed his head respectfully.

    ¡°Okay, lead the way,¡± Jun Shiling said in a low voice. Only then did the general manager look up.

    Then, to his surprise, he realized that there was a woman lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    This woman¡¯s face was buried in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and could not be seen clearly, but from the small side of her face, one could tell that she was outstanding.

    It was only when Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze swept over that the general manager realized that he had crossed the line. He hurriedly lowered his head and respectfully led Jun Shiling to his residence.

    When they arrived at the presidential suite, Jun Shiling gently ced Xia Wanyuan on the bed, helped her remove her shoes, covered her with the nket, and turned to leave.

    Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something. He went to the sofa and took a bolster back. He stuffed it into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and covered himself with the nket again.

    Even if Xia Wanyuan wanted to let him sleep with her tonight, he didn¡¯t dare to sleep here anymore.

    The self-control that the person in charge of the Jun family had always been proud of was nothing in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    The next day, at six o¡¯clock in the morning, Jun Shiling knocked on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s door.

    ¡°Why are you so early?¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. She had not slept well.

    ¡°There¡¯s a sunrise on the mountain. Wash up and let¡¯s go take a look.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan pulled herself together and quickly washed up. In order to save time, she had eaten breakfast in the car.

    Junli Hotel was built on Wuyishan, so it didn¡¯t take long for the car to reach the highest Tianyou Peak.

    After getting out of the car, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was illuminated by the morning sun.

    There was a lot of fog in the mountain. At this moment, as far as the eye could see, the morning sun climbed up inch by inch from the back of the mountain and scattered the sunlight on the ground. The sea of clouds in the mountains churned and surged magnificently.

    When the morning sun rose, the clouds gradually dissipated. Not far away, one could see a tea field surrounded by clouds.

    ¡°That tea house is for Da Hong Pao,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling stopped midway, Xia Wanyuan could not help but turn around and ask.

    ¡°It produces the world¡¯s top tea.¡± Jun Shiling paused. ¡°This tea house is mine.¡±

 Chapter 164 - The Princess Young Ambitions

    <h4>Chapter 164: The Princess¡¯ Young Ambitions</h4>

    ¡°Yes, yes. I know you¡¯re the richest man.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not understand his hint, Jun Shiling added, ¡°If you want to drink tea in the future, you can send it directly from here to Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan was delighted.

    She did not even care about that jar of Snowing in the Wind, so she naturally did not recall that jar of tea.

    At this moment, the sun had already risenpletely. In the distant tea field, there were already tea farmers picking the tea leaves.

    The person in charge of the tea house suddenly received the news and rushed over to wee Jun Shiling.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to pick new tea. Let¡¯s try it,¡± Jun Shiling suggested and Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Taoism was popr on Wuyishan. The teahouse was hidden in the clouds. From the outside, it looked a little like a Taoist temple and had a hint of immortal aura.

    The in-charge brought Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan around a few limestone roads. When the day was about to crack, a waterfall hung in the mountains. It was as silver as a sword and as colorful as pearls.

    Since ancient times, the Chinese had pursued an artistic mood. Other than the quality of tea, tea tasting was also the spiritual elegance of this space.

    The tea house was built beside the mountain. In the distance, there was a hundred foot waterfall. In front of the door, there was a mountain spring winding around. The entire tea house was made of green bamboo. When ced in it, it emitted a faint bamboo fragrance.

    The person in charge took out the top-notch Da Hong Pao, which he had just plucked, and soaked it in the natural mountain spring of Wuyishan.

    Xia Wanyuan picked it up and took a sip. Compared to the old tea, the new tea was less mellow, but it had a freshness to it, as if she had drunk a mouthful of the poetry of early summer.

    The turmoil in thepany and the turmoil in the entertainment industry over the past few days seemed to have disappeared in a single sip of tea.

    There was silence in the house for a moment. The two of them sat on a bamboo stool by the window and drank tea while looking out the window at the deep clouds and fog.

    One of the main reasons Xia Wanyuan liked to spend time with Jun Shiling was that Jun Shiling was a person who knew his limits. Just like now, when she was quietly thinking about things, Jun Shiling would sit silently by the side, making her feel very rxed.

    After learning the name of the mountain from Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have much of an understanding of the Chinese territory a thousand yearster, so she searched on the map.

    ¡°Is this ce very close to the sea?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked.

    The Xia Dynasty¡¯s active territory was roughly in China¡¯s current Shangan region. It was located ind, and a thousand years ago, without the current high-speed rail, Xia Wanyuan had never gone outside the Xia Dynasty¡¯s territory.

    However, when she was young, she had once seen a strange book in her father¡¯s study. It recorded that there was a boundless body of water where beautiful scenery and strange objects werepletely different from thend.

    Xia Wanyuan pestered her father and asked many questions. After learning that the beautiful pearl corals were mined from that mysterious water, Xia Wanyuan was very much looking forward to this mysterious sea.

    At that time, the Xia Emperor had also promised Xia Wanyuan that he would take her to see thergest and most beautiful pearl in the sea on her tenth birthday.

    Unfortunately, when she was ten years old, she only saw thergest and most popr sea of blood. Her father, who promised to take her to see the pearl coral, had left her forever.

    Later on, chaotic times passed and the dynasty revived. She became the person in charge and had the most beautiful pearl coral in the country, but she had never seen the ocean she had dreamed of when she was young.

    ¡°It¡¯s a little far,¡± Jun Shiling put down his cup and replied. The nearest sea area was about 500 kilometers from Wuyishan.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.?<i>If it was so far away, then forget it.</i>

    Jun Shiling was originally looking at the waterfall outside the window. Unexpectedly, he turned around and nced at Xia Wanyuan, catching a hint of regret in her eyes.

    The phone rang. Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, then stood up and avoided her, which was rare of him. He took the phone and walked out the door.

    After a while, Jun Shiling returned.

    ¡°The meeting that was supposed to be held tomorrow was dyed, so we can go back a dayter. Since we¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t we go to the beach and take a look?¡±

    ¡°Really? Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were bright, making Jun Shiling¡¯s heart itch.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s a helicopter outside to pick us up.¡±

    In the Beijing Mansion,

    ¡°Good child, what did your father say to you?¡± The old master asked as he hugged Xiao Bao on hisp.

    ¡°Daddy said that he and Mommy went to work in Fujian and asked me to apany great-grandfather obediently,¡± Xiao Bao replied softly. ¡°Great-grandfather, Daddy and Mommy work so hard. They still have to work during the holidays.¡±

    The old master thought for a while.?<i>What other business did Fujian have other than the tea manor?</i>?Jun Shiling did not have to do the work there himself. After thinking for a while, an understanding smile suddenly appeared in the old master¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Your parents are busy, so stay here and apany me.¡± Old Master stroked his great-grandson¡¯s soft hair. ¡°My good boy, do you want a younger brother or sister?¡±

    ¡°Am I going to have a sister??¡± Xiao Bao looked at the old man with sparkling eyes. He wanted a sister who was as beautiful as a sheep!

    ¡°Haha, maybe we¡¯ll have one soon.¡± The old manughed and yed with Xiao Bao.

    Although it was a little far, it was fortunate that there was a helicopter that could take the shortest route. After about two hours, the helicopter stopped by the coast.

    When the person in charge of the local resort received the news, he cleared the area early and left the entire sea area to Jun Shiling.

    As soon as she alighted the helicopter, a moist sea breeze blew over. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw a scene even more dazzling than what she had seen on television.

    The endless blue sea was constantly rolling with waves that rushed to the beach. In the blue sky,rge white clouds were piled together like a huge cotton candy mountain, white and soft.

    On the golden beach, green tropical trees stood. The breeze seemed to carry a bright aura.

    Xia Wanyuan walked towards the beach. She was originally wearing high heels, but the moment she reached the beach, her heels sank in. Xia Wanyuan took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the soft sand, feeling the exquisite sand pass through her toes.

    Lunch was under a coconut tree. A tablecloth was spread over the table, and the two of them sat around and ate.

    Eating in the wilderness was a verymon thing for Xia Wanyuan, who was used to marching and fighting, but it was the first time for Jun Shiling.

    After lunch, Xia Wanyuan picked up shells by the sea and yed with the sand.

    Having lived for two lifetimes, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen the sea, so she found it very novel.

    Jun Shiling sat on a leisure chair not far away. Jun Shiling could not leave the Jun Corporation. He had already dyed a lot of things the past two days, so Jun Shiling could only guide his work in the form of a video conference.

    However, everyone clearly realized that during CEO Jun¡¯s meeting today, his eyes would unconsciously drift outside, as if he kept looking at something.

 Chapter 165 - Cough, Cough He Carried Her

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes currently¡­

    On the golden beach, the blue sea connected to the sky. The beautiful Xia Wanyuan was barefooted, looking down at the beach for shells. The sea breeze lifted the hem of her dress, making her look as beautiful as a butterfly flying.

    Jun Shiling, who was supposed to be in a meeting, looked up and froze.

    In the video conference room, everyone saw that Jun Shiling was silent and his gaze was outside the camera, so they waited quietly for CEO Jun toe back to his senses.

    ¡°CEO Jun, are you frozen? I see that you haven¡¯t moved. You need to take a look at this item again.¡±

    Chief Liu of the Wind Control Department was an extremely capable and direct man.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was silent, he called out to him in the meeting room.

    The others in the meeting room hurriedly looked as if it had nothing to do with them, but they were cursing in their hearts.

    <i>Brother, can¡¯t you tell?!! The blue sky, white clouds, beach waves, one look at this background and I can tell that CEO Jun went out on a date! His eyes are about to overflow with love. One look and I know who he¡¯s looking at. We don¡¯t have to spoil the scenery like this.?</i>

    Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling, who had his thoughts snapped back by Minister Liu, did not criticize anyone. Instead, he discussed matters with everyone calmly.

    The setting sun gradually sank to the sea level. The fiery red glow dyed the entire sea red. Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting was about to end. He raised his head, stretched his neck, and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was not far away.

    Xia Wanyuan squatted on the beach as if she was building something. She had been building it here since Jun Shiling had looked at her an hour ago.

    Jun Shiling closed hisputer and walked over slowly.

    Although the sand was easily dispersed, Xia Wanyuan had piled up the rough outline very real. Hence, Jun Shiling could tell at a nce that in front of Xia Wanyuan was a simple pce made of sand.

    Looking at the ancient pce, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who had a hint of sadness on her. His eyes were dark.

    ¡°The tide is about to rise. Let¡¯s go back and rest. We¡¯ll return to Beijing tomorrow morning,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said after looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pce.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and looked around. Then, she realized something bad.

    She was not wearing shoes, and the sun had already set. It was half dark. She looked around and could not find where she had ced her shoes in the afternoon.

    Recalling the direction where she had just gotten off the helicopter, Xia Wanyuan was about to continue searching when Jun Shiling squatted down beside her.

    ¡°Come up.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll look for it again. It should be over there.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that it was a little strange to keep asking Jun Shiling to carry her.

    ¡°Come up. It¡¯ste. Stop looking for it,¡± Jun Shiling repeated.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to get on Jun Shiling¡¯s back when she suddenly remembered something. ¡°Wait a minute.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a few steps forward and picked up a pile of shells from the beach. ¡°I want to bring this back.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a dress today and had no pockets.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly and pulled open his suit pocket. ¡°Put it in.¡±

    Hence, a custom-made suit that could buy an entire beach was reduced to a tool to store things.

    Jun Shiling squatted down. After Xia Wanyuany down, he stood up and held her leg as they walked towards the hotel.

    In the hazy night, the crisp sound of seashells clinking could be heard from the wind.

 Chapter 166 - Mommy, I Want a Sister

    <h4>Chapter 166: Mommy, I Want a Sister</h4>

    The next morning, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left with the new tea leaves and a pile of colorful seashells.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re back!¡± Xiao Bao had just been sent back by Uncle Liu. Not long after, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor.

    ¡°Mm, we¡¯re back. How was it? Were you obedient this weekend?¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and hugged Xiao Bao.

    When she had just been reborn, Xia Wanyuan instinctively pitied Xiao Bao and pitied him more. After these days of being together, she could not bear to part with Xiao Bao anymore.

    It had only been two days since she left, but she already felt that she missed him a lot.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m so obedient. Mommy, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Xiao Bao wrapped his arms around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and whined to her with his big eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re obedient. Mommy brought you a little gift,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she took a box from Jun Shiling. She opened it and it was filled with small, colorful seashells. It was very beautiful.

    ¡°Wow, Mommy, this is so beautiful!¡± Xiao Bao happily held the shell and studied the patterns on it seriously.

    ¡°I¡¯ll use it to make a little essory for youter and tie it on your school bag, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s soft cheeks.

    ¡°Okay! Mommy, can you make four essories? We¡¯ll each have one!¡± Xiao Bao smiled brightly.

    ¡°Four? Your great-grandfather isn¡¯t suitable for this.¡± Hearing Xiao Bao mention four, Xia Wanyuan was stunned. She then thought of Old Master, but he wasn¡¯t suitable for these little things.

    ¡°That¡¯s not it! Mommy, you need to make four. One for me, one for you, one for Daddy and one for my sister. Won¡¯t that make four?¡± The words¡¯ Mommy, you¡¯re stupid ¡®seemed to be written all over Xiao Bao¡¯s wet eyes.

    ¡°Sister? Which sister?¡± Xia Wanyuan was puzzled. She had never heard that there was a child younger than Jun Yin in the Jun family.

    ¡°Sister is here!¡± Xiao Bao put down the seashell in his hand and pounced into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms. He carefully pointed at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach. ¡°Mommy, didn¡¯t you go out to give birth to my sister this time?¡±

    ?????

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent eyes and was stunned.

    Jun Shiling, who was drinking tea leisurely, was caught off guard by his son¡¯s words and choked on his tea.

    ¡°Who told you that?¡±

    ¡°Great-grandfather said so.¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan expectantly. ¡°Mommy, I like my sister. Can you give me a beautiful sister?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say for a moment, so she could only cast a pleading gaze at Jun Shiling. However, at that moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was somewhat strange. For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt that she did not dare to look him in the eye.

    ¡°Alright, go and y by yourself. Stop pestering your mother. She¡¯s tired from the long flight.¡± In the end, it was Jun Shiling who spoke up to save Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, Mommy, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Xiao Bao got off Xia Wanyuan and nted a kiss on her face before he left.

    After Xiao Bao left, Xia Wanyuan felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. She looked up at Jun Shiling and met his faint smile. Xia Wanyuan recalled Xiao Bao¡¯s words and her cheeks heated up.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go up first.¡± Xia Wanyuan avoided Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze and went upstairs with a box filled with shells.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan went upstairs, Chen Yun called.

    ¡°Wanyuan, something happened. Quick, look at thepany¡¯stest Weibo post!¡±

 Chapter 167 - The Princesss Song Was Stolen

    <h4>Chapter 167: The Princess¡¯s Song Was Stolen</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan found the Weibo ount she had not used in a long time and clicked on it. As usual, the screen was filled with 999ments.

    After searching through the official Weibo ount of Star Creation Entertainment, itstest Weibo post had already be popr and was being enthusiastically discussed.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and had a look of ¡®as expected¡¯.

    @ Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s official Weibo: ¡°The little goddess of the country, Xie Rou, has brought a new talent to attack. This time, she will break all the boundaries and use her fullest passion and top-notch strength to bring us into her country style world and inherit China¡¯s traditional culture together.¡±

    Over the years, China¡¯s traditional culture had gradually weakened, but in the end, the Chinese were a race with chivalry and gentleness carved into their bones.

    More than a decade ago, a very groundbreaking singer hadbined traditional styles with modern pop music and triggered huge sess.

    Over the years, generations of singers had dedicated themselves to the creation of national-style music.

    Thete-stage music production of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had invited Mo Feng Studio, which had been very popr a few years ago, to take advantage of the poprity of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s incident. In the end, they had failed to steal a chicken and ended up eating rice instead.

    Hence, when many entertainmentpanies designed music styles for their celebrities, they would want to nurture a group of country-style singers in order to develop in the recording market.

    Xie Rou happened to be a singer who was specially created by Star Creation Entertainment to follow the national style music industry.

    However, over the years, Xie Rou¡¯s results had actually been average.

    The first reason was that the entire country¡¯s style music environment was dispirited.

    Secondly, she actually despised country music from the bottom of her heart. Back then, she had gone to Country Kimchi to be a trainee, but she had failed her debut there and returned to China.

    In her heart, these old-fashioned traditional music could notpare to foreign music at all.

    However, there was nothing she could do. At that time, she was in a hurry to debut. The other roles in thepany had already been filled with celebrities, so she could only choose to debut with this image. Hence, she had not spent much effort on this in the past few years, let alone producing quality music.

    However, some time ago, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ancient zither song had exploded on the Inte, causing her to sense something unusual, so she went to ask CEO Wang for a country album.

    At that moment, there was the preview of the six songs that she was about to release on Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s Weibo.

    In order to whet everyone¡¯s appetite, he even specially yed a ten-second audio clip from Xie Rou¡¯s song.

    The magnificent background music and melodious singing immediately made everyone look forward to it.

    [ Wow, although it¡¯s only a small paragraph, it feels very nice. ]

    [ Don¡¯t tell me he released the best part?? The rest are all sh*t? ]

    [ Xie Rou¡¯s previous songs were only average, right? Why has her standard suddenly be so high? ]

    [ If the finished product maintains this standard when the timees, I will definitely buy it until it explodes. It feels really nice. ]

    [ Yes, yes. I haven¡¯t heard such a national style song in a long time. It¡¯s quite magnificent and pleasant to listen to. ]

    It had to be said that Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s marketing this time was very sessful. With the high reputation of passing down historical culture and the high standards of the songs released, it attracted widespread attention in the industry and outside the industry.

    Even before the song was released, there were already advertisers with keen senses who came looking for the door, wanting to sign Xie Rou in advance.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on the audio and switched it off after two seconds. She was too familiar with the lyrics and melody she had written. Star Creation Entertainment really did not change a single note.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I¡¯m sorry. I was too careless. I didn¡¯t expect CEO Wang and the rest to be so despicable. My email was hacked and they erased the traces of my documents.¡±

    On the other end of the line, Chen Yun was full of frustration. Ever since he had a conflict with the higher-ups a few years ago and was kicked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, he had given up on himself.

    Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan had to settle a few things herself recently, he felt ashamed that not only did he not help but drag her down.

    ¡°Have you contacted the recording team yet?¡±

    I¡¯ve contacted him. Don¡¯t worry this time. He¡¯s a good friend of mine for many years. They¡¯re a gold medal production team. If you have time, let¡¯s meet up sometime.¡±

    ¡°Sure, tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that at the rate Star Creation Entertainment was going, they should be releasing the album soon. She could not be too slow.

    After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun looked at his hacked email and sighed heavily. After what had happened five years ago, he hadpletely let himself go.

    Gradually, indulgence became a habit. Now, it has finally caused a huge disaster. It¡¯s all because of his negligence. The song that Xia Wanyuan had painstakingly written had been stolen in the blink of an eye. He didn¡¯t know how to face Xia Wanyuan.¡¯

    ¡°CEO Wang, will Xia Wanyuan directly leak it out?¡±

    In the office, Xie Rou sat beside CEO Wang and asked worriedly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already destroyed her manager¡¯s work email backstage. He doesn¡¯t have any evidence to prove it. Even if he dares to say it, no one will believe him.¡±

    As CEO Wang spoke, the flesh on his face trembled.

    ¡°Thank you, CEO Wang.¡± Xie Rou was relieved and smiled at CEO Wang.

    ¡°What are you thanking me for? Shouldn¡¯t I do it?¡± CEO Wang grinned and reached into Xie Rou¡¯s dress.

    Xie Rou trembled, but in the end, she still smiled andy in CEO Wang¡¯s arms.

    Xia Wanyuan had only nned to make a small essory for Xiao Bao for the seaside seashell she had picked up from the beach.

    Unexpectedly, there were too many seashells. Xia Wanyuan made herself a bracelet. The exquisite and colorful seashells strung together had a unique charm.

    Xia Wanyuan tied the small pendant to Xiao Bao¡¯s school bag. Xiao Bao bounced around at the side, nced at the seashell bracelet in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, and then looked at the expressionless Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mommy, why does Daddy not have any?¡± Xiao Bao suddenly asked.

    Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.?<i>His image was really not suitable for a little seashell.</i>

    ¡°Mommy, make one for Daddy too. Everyone in our family has one, okay? Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and shook it.

    Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to tie a small ornament, a red tassel, and handed it to Jun Shiling. After all, Jun Shiling didn¡¯t know how to use it.

    Jun Shiling nced at it and took it, then casually ced it on the table. Now, Xiao Bao was finally not making a scene.

    The next day, in the CEO¡¯s office of the Jun Corporation, the management of all the departments were called over for a meeting.

    What surprised everyone was that there was a string of seashell essories on the most obvious area of Jun Shiling¡¯s desk.

    However, this matter was too strange. No one dared to look up at it and pretended as if nothing had happened.

    After the meeting, Jun Shiling nced at the shell essory and then at his subordinate in front of him, displeasure shing across his eyes.?<i>Why didn¡¯t anyone notice?</i>

    ¡°Come back for another meeting in the afternoon.¡±

 Chapter 168 - So It was a Public Display of Affection

    <h4>Chapter 168: So It was a Public Disy of Affection</h4>

    Upon hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, everyone suddenly panicked.

    They had already finished what he needed to report. ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s usual habits, there was no need to have another meeting in the afternoon.

    There must be a reason for the abnormality. It was very likely that they would be stabbed.

    Everyone could not help but think about what they had done wrong this week, afraid that they would be criticized by Jun Shiling as a negative example.

    Only Lin Jing looked calm and did not panic at all.

    ¡°Young Master, the meeting is over. Let me boldly ask.¡± Lin Jing adjusted his sses and turned his gaze to the table. ¡°Where did you buy this essory? It¡¯s beautiful. I want to buy one for my girlfriend.¡±

    Everyone had originally stood up to leave, but when they heard Lin Jing¡¯s words, they were all confused.

    <i>What was Special Assistant Lin doing?? Talking to CEO Jun about essories???</i>

    <i>Besides, didn¡¯t Assistant Lin say that he was single yesterday and wanted everyone to introduce a girlfriend to him? How did he get a girlfriend overnight?</i>

    Although they were puzzled, everyone still chose to follow Lin Jing¡¯s footsteps in the end. After all, Lin Jing was excellent at guessing Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts.

    ¡°Yes, yes. It¡¯s indeed beautiful. I want to buy one for my wife too.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s really not bad.¡±

    ¡°It must be very expensive. This style and color¡­ Tsk, tsk. It¡¯s too beautiful.¡±

    Everyone praised him. Sitting on the chair, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it. Someone made it and gave it to me. Alright, let¡¯s end the meeting. I¡¯ll inform you again if there¡¯s a need to hold the meeting in the afternoon.¡±

    Everyone looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face and actually had a faint smile on it. Then, they looked at the obvious little woman-style essories.

    They finally understood.?<i>So CEO Jun was showing off his love?!!</i>

    There was actually a day when Jun Shiling would show off his love. Everyone felt that the world was magical. They really did not know what was so gentle that it melted this piece of tempered steel.

    After everyone left the office, Jun Shiling took the essory and looked at them with a warm gaze.

    ¡°Old Liu, this is the artist I¡¯m currently managing, Xia Wanyuan. Wanyuan, this is Xia Yue Studio¡¯s Liu Can.¡±

    In the coffee shop, Chen Yun was introducing Xia Wanyuan to the producer of Xia Yue Studio, Liu Can.

    Xia Yue Studio could be said to be the most famous music production team in the country.

    Even if Star Creation Entertainment personally appeared, they might not be able to invite Xia Yue¡¯s studio.

    However, the boss of the studio, Liu Can, had been Chen Yun¡¯srade since a long time ago. During a training session, he had almost lost his life. It was Chen Yun who had saved him.

    Liu Can had always owed Chen Yun this favor. In the past few years, Chen Yun¡¯s career had not been smooth. Liu Can had wanted to help him, but he had refused. In the end, a few days ago, Chen Yun suddenly came to him and asked him sincerely to help make an album.

    Liu Can had agreed, so he sat here today.

    Looking at the gorgeous Xia Wanyuan in front of him, Liu Can recalled somements online about her. He did not think that he could help her make any good music.

    However, since Chen Yun had asked, he would also help Xia Wanyuan produce an album.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what style do you want to use for your album? What are your requirements for the lyrics? How many songs do you want to record?¡± Liu Can asked a few questions as usual.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already written all the lyrics and songs. Here.¡± Xia Wanyuan took out a stack of documents from her bag and ced them in front of Liu Can.

    Liu Can took it and nced at it a few times. When he looked up at Xia Wanyuan, his gaze was somewhat strange.

    ¡°Logically speaking, Chen Yun saved my life before, so I should help him, but I can¡¯t do something that goes against thew.¡±

    As the most professional music production team in the industry, they were still very sensitive to changes in the industry. Hence, they immediately paid attention to the song that Star Creation Entertainment had announced as something they had tailor-made for Xie Rou.

    Just by looking at the score, Liu Can could tell that theposition in front of him should be very simr to Xie Rou¡¯s.

    ¡°Old Liu, to tell you the truth, it¡¯s all my fault. Wanyuanposed this melody herself, but I was too careless and allowed the melody to be stolen.¡± When Chen Yun spoke of this, he was still filled with guilt.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been a person for so many years. I¡¯m willing to believe you, but will others believe you? I can¡¯t gamble my studio just to believe you.¡±

    Liu Can knew Chen Yun¡¯s character, but he could not believe in his heart that Xia Wanyuan was actually able to write a song with such standards.

    As if she had expected Liu Can¡¯s reaction, Xia Wanyuan was not surprised. ¡°When you flipped to thest page, it is a song that Iposed myself, known by the entire inte.¡±

    Liu Can flipped to thest page.?<i>It was a song that Xia Wanyuan hadposed live. It was indeed original, but what did it have to do with the one in front?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan took out a brush and drew circles on the book. At first, Liu Can did not understand, but slowly, his eyes lit up, and the way he looked at Xia Wanyuan changed.

    ¡°I¡¯ve underestimated you, Miss Xia. I¡¯m really impressed. Miss Xia, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely make this album to your satisfaction.¡±

    ¡°Happy cooperation.¡± Xia Wanyuan used tea as water and clinked sses with Liu Can.

    After discussing the cooperation, Liu Can left in a hurry, leaving Chen Yun and Xia Wanyuan behind with hesitant expressions.

    ¡°I.¡±

    Before Chen Yun could finish his sentence, Xia Wanyuan interrupted him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t need to say it, I know.¡± Xia Wanyuan drank a mouthful of tea and looked at Chen Yun. ¡°There are many things you haven¡¯t done well.¡±

    Chen Yun¡¯s heart sank when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    ¡°If I meet a suitable manager, I¡¯ll find another one.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made Chen Yun feel ufortable. Thinking of his family¡¯s pile of mortgages and car loans, as well as therge family he had to support, Chen Yun was very flustered. However, he was indeed incapable and irrefutable.

    ¡°I won¡¯t fire you. You can take care of other things. The sry will be as usual. Besides, I believe you¡¯ll do better than you originally did.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan left the cafe.

    When she had just arrived in the modern world, the original owner of the body was still in a mess. As a manager, although Chen Yun was scolding her, he was still cleaning up her mess.

    Just based on this point, Xia Wanyuan would not fire him easily. However, she really had to find a more suitable manager. It had been a long time since Chen Yun had fully entered the entertainment industry. Many of his ideas were still the same as ten years ago. He was indeed not used to it now.

    ording to the habits of the Watermelon TV Station, they usually recorded variety shows the previous week, and after a week of post-production, the program would be released the second week.

    The novel ¡°The Long Bad¡± already had a considerable number of fans of the original novel. In addition, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high-definition photos were released by the Gxy Wind. Although there were many controversies, everyone¡¯s interest was aroused. They wanted to see if the Xia Wanyuan in the video was really that good-looking.

    Hence, before the Happy World began on Friday night, many people were already waiting on the video tform at Watermelon tform.

 Chapter 169 - Variety Broadcast

    <h4>Chapter 169: Variety Broadcast</h4>

    [ Squeeze a little. Hurry up. Why isn¡¯t it here yet? ]

    [ In order to see today¡¯s happy world, I turned on HD on the television and turned on thements on my phone. It¡¯s too difficult for me. ]

    [ Me too. I even set up two devices just to watch thements. ]

    [ Why isn¡¯t it starting yet? I haven¡¯t watched the Happy World in a long time. I¡¯ll make an exception for ¡°The Long Bad¡± today. ]

    Before the program began, theizens could not wait anymore. Thements flooded one after another. Finally, at eight o¡¯clock sharp, the video room was opened.

    A familiar background sound rang. It was still the few hosts that everyone was familiar with. Amidst the singing and dancing, the curtains to the Happy World were drawn.

    As usual, the host announced the names of the sponsors and introduced the guests.

    ¡°Alright, then let us wee Qin Wu, Ruan Yingyu, Xia Wanyuan, Qian Yong, and Liu Jia from the production team of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ to our stage today!¡±

    After the host finished reporting, the entire stage darkened.

    The melodious sound of a flute sounded. On the big screen, ink spread and outlined the three words ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    The disy screen around the stage and the entire stage were printed with patches of green bamboo forest. The fog made of dry ice was constantly drifting around the stage.

    A bright light shone on the stage, and Qin Wu, who was dressed in ck, appeared in everyone¡¯s line of sight. He had straight eyebrows, bright eyes, and was handsome and tall, instantly causing the audience to exim.

    As Qin Wu gradually walked to the center of the stage, therge screen kept ying the publicity video of the role released by the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    Senior Brother Qing Lang, a chivalrous swordsman, had constantly changed identities and scenes. From the mountains to the royal court, from the pugilistic world to living in seclusion, he made people see the magnificent life of Young Master Fu Yi, Lin Xiao.

    Just from this background video, everyone had the desire to watch it. They wanted to follow Lin Xiao and see the prosperity and honor of the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains.

    [ Watermelon tform is indeed rich. This stage is really well-made. ]

    [ Indeed, Watermelon tform still gave Director Yang face this time. This stage effect is really not bad. ]

    [ Wow, Qin Wu is indeed a good actor. I feel like he has revived the Young Master Fu Yi in my heart. ]

    [ So handsome!! Our Qin Wu is really too good-looking! ]

    [ Boohoo, Qin Wu, Mommy loves you! ]

    Immediately after, the light moved away from Qin Wu¡¯s head. Ruan Yingyu, who was dressed in a pink princess dress, appeared in front of everyone on a high heels.

    It was obvious that Ruan Yingyu had spent a lot of effort on her outfit today.

    Her entire body was dressed in thetest style of the Xiang family¡¯s spring season. Her makeup was exquisite, and Ruan Yingyu¡¯s facial features were sweet, making her look dazzling.

    As Ruan Yingyu walked to the center of the stage, the big screen kept ying the video of her little junior sister role.

    An innocent and smiling face was the most eye-catching symbol of his little junior sister. From their childhood sweethearts to those who had apanied Young Master Fu Yi through the turmoil of the world, their initial feelings had never changed. His little junior sister¡¯s life had been condensed into a few seconds of videos to be disyed to all the audience.

    However,pared to Lin Xiao, who had excellent acting skills, Ruan Yingyu was clearly much inferior, but she was still considered outstanding.

    [ Qin Wu acted better. ]

    [ It¡¯s normal for Senior Qin to have good acting skills, but our Yu¡¯er is also growing. ]

    [ Ruan Yingyu is quite pretty. Is she or Xia Wanyuan prettier? ]

    [ That photo of Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful? I don¡¯t believe that someone really looks like in the photos. ]

    After Ruan Yingyu stood in the middle of the stage, the lights moved back again. The camera angle changed to take a photo of the person who appeared from below.

    A pair of jade-like feet stepped on high heels and appeared in front of everyone first.

 Chapter 170 - The Princess Stunning Entrance

    <h4>Chapter 170: The Princess¡¯ Stunning Entrance</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Originally, the audience did not have much expectations for Xia Wanyuan. However, the change in camera angle at the watermelon table piqued everyone¡¯s curiosity.

    The camera kept moving up. Her fair and slender legs, as well as the soft chiffon dress with dark patterns, made one feel endless anticipation for this person.

    Further up, at her corbone, where it was as white as jade, a peony that was shining with golden light bloomed beautifully. It was lifelike. Beside the petals, there was a small exquisite ruby butterfly. As Xia Wanyuan walked, the butterfly flew up and down, looking rather lively.

    [ Where¡¯s her face? ]

    [ Is the photographer crazy? Show me her face! ]

    As if to whet everyone¡¯s appetite, the camera paused at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corbone for a long time. It did not move the camera, and the people in thements began to panic.

    Suddenly, the camera zoomed out and focused on Xia Wanyuan.

    When Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face appeared, the clothes and jewelry that people had thought were very beautiful seemed to lose their color. No matter how beautiful the clothes and jewelry were, they had be her foil.

    Ice skin and jade bones, frost and snow.

    At that moment, on the big screen behind her, the little princess in luxurious clothes, the beautiful and enchanting dancer, and the lonely and arrogant concubine were disying the ups and downs of the Heavenly Spirit Princess.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, she had clearly disyed the different stages of the Heavenly Spirit Princess, the different characters¡¯ personalities, and the state of her heart.

    Under the pursuit of the lights, Xia Wanyuan, who walked step by step to the center of the stage, was different from all the characters disyed on the screen.

    There was a hint of alienation in her eyes, but it did not make her feel arrogant. She was like a pear blossom in the spring rain in March, exuding a cold and beautiful aura.

    [ Video can¡¯t be photoshopped, right? F*ck! ]

    [ Is this the beauty that exists in the world?? Can I ask? ]

    [ The person who said our Yuan Yuan is photoshopped, can you step forward? ]

    [ Wow, I originally thought that Ruan Yingyu was already very beautiful. I didn¡¯t expect that I was inexperienced. How did Xia Wanyuan grow? How can she be so beautiful? ]

    [ Her face is indeed good-looking, but her acting skills are not good. ]

    [ The person in front, if you¡¯re blind, go and treat it. Facing the video behind, are you telling me that her acting skills are bad? Ruan Yingyu should be the one with bad acting skills. ]

    Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, thements on the video website had at least doubled.

    The program continued. As usual, after the main staff of the production team greeted everyone, the official program began.

    To put it simply, variety shows were meant to make people rx. Hence, the program flow in the world was usually a game with a few segments.

    In the game, they disyed the abilities of the guests in all aspects and increased the audience¡¯s understanding of the guests through questions, answers, Truth or Dare.

    In recent years, traditional cultural revival has been a popr word.

    The national television station had also done several especially famous programs. One of them was a variety show called the Chinese Poetry Meet. Because of its wide range, interest, and literary value.

    Ever since the broadcast began, it had be extremely popr. Many other variety programs also followed the footsteps of the national television station. They either directly did a program simr to a poetry meet or added some poetry meet plot on the original foundation.

    As the leader of the local television station, Watermelon tform would naturally actively respond to the national television station. During the recent program process, they had added such a segment topete in poetry.

    <h4>Chapter 171: The Princess¡¯ Talent Shocks the Net</h4>

    [ Well, letting celebritiespete in poetry¡­ Isn¡¯t this killing them? Hahahaha. ]

    [ That¡¯s not necessary. Celebrities shouldn¡¯t be good at this, right? Aren¡¯t we letting them go up and lose face? ]

    [ So what if they¡¯re celebrities? Don¡¯t celebrities need to be cultured? What a joke. They have such a huge influence. If they don¡¯t even study, won¡¯t they lead their fans astray? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. I think the Watermelon tform segment was added quite well. I urge celebrities to improve their self-cultivation. Don¡¯t be uneducated all the time and embarrass yourself everywhere. ]

    The entertainment industry emphasized acting, talent, and appearance. In fact, there were no high requirements for one¡¯s cultural standards. In the entire entertainment industry, there were arge number of people whose cultural results were not especially high.

    The opinion of many celebrities was that they had good looks and were uneducated.

    Hence, before Xia Wanyuan and the rest were about to start the poetrypetition segment, many people were doubtful.

    The host divided the 12 people on stage into three teams, led by Qin Wu, Xia Wanyuan, and Ruan Yingyu.

    Through answering questions, they would umte points for their group. In the end, the group with the higher points would be rewarded, and the group with the lower points would have to drink an entire cup of bitter melon juice as punishment.

    The groups were divided ording to the method of drawing lots. Those who were assigned to the Qin Wu group were very happy. This was because Qin Wu had graduated from a specialized course and his cultural upbringing was much better than Xia Wanyuan and Ruan Yingyu.

    Meanwhile, those who had drawn Xia Wanyuan¡¯s team did not look so good.

    [ Hahahahahahaha, I saw Teacher Wang¡¯s face turn green when he realized that he was in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s team. ]

    [ I¡¯m dying ofughter. Whoever gets assigned to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s team is destined to drink bitter melon juice. It¡¯s too miserable. ]

    [ Just now, after Liu Jia saw the name Xia Wanyuan on the note, he nced at the bitter melon juice. It¡¯s very tragic. Hahahaha, it¡¯s too tragic. ]

    In the program, after everyone was divided into groups, they stood separately.

    ¡°Now, please listen to the question. In ancient times, people divided the instruments into ¡®silk¡¯ and ¡®bamboo¡¯, for the string and wind instruments respectively. Which one of them is the wind instrument? A. Silk Bamboo.¡±

    ¡°B¡±

    While the others were still thinking, Xia Wanyuan had already blurted out the answer.

    ¡°The answer is correct. Five points will be added for the third group. For the next question, which scene is the most suitable to be portrayed with ink painting?

    A: Falling clouds and lonely birds, together in the autumn water

    B. Back into the deep forest, reflect on the moss

    C. The lone boat brawler, fishing in the snow river

    D. The lotus leaves of the Heaven Reaching Lotus are endless, the lotus flowers of the sun are another type off red

    ¡°C¡±

    Just as the host finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan had already answered.

    ¡°Congrattions on adding another five points to the third group. Please listen to the next question. Which poem does not have the intention of using the Moon?

    A. May we all be together for a long time.

    B. Mu Yun retracted her cold aura and silently turned the jade te.

    C. The sound of the flute, the light of the jade kettle, and the dance of the dragonfish in the night.

    D. The mother of clouds, the candle is deep, the river falls and the stars fall¡­¡±

    ¡°D¡±

    ¡°Correct! Five more points for the third group!¡±

    This time, not only were the people at the scene shocked, but also the people in thements.?<i>If the first time was coincidental by Xia Wanyuan, then the second and third time could not be so coincidental, right?!!</i>

    [ There¡¯s a script, right? ]

    [ It¡¯s a little fake. The speed of the champion of the poetry meet isn¡¯t even that fast. I feel like she didn¡¯t even think before reading the answer out loud. ]

    [ Would the Watermelon TV Station promote Xia Wanyuan like this? With her previous illiterate standards, only a ghost would believe that she could answer so quickly. ]

    At that time, most of the people in the recording studio had the same thought as theizens in thements. They all felt that it was incredible, so there was amotion.

    Initially, everyone watched variety shows because they wanted to see the true performance of the celebrity guests. In the end, even such a thing had to be released in a script, which instantly incited public anger.

    Furthermore, the poetry meet had a high status in everyone¡¯s hearts. The poetry meet was designed to pass down traditional culture. If even this was fake, then it was simply stepping on everyone¡¯s bottom line.

    At that time, there were audience members who protested loudly. The scene was chaotic.

    The person in charge knew very well that he had never given Xia Wanyuan an answer. Furthermore, because of the confidentiality, only a few people knew the setting of the questions, so the problem was not with the television station.

    Seeing that the recording hall was in chaos, the in-charge thought of an idea in a moment of desperation.

    There was a question bank for a poetry meet on national television. The ownership of this question bank belonged to national television stations, so no one could find the answer in advance.

    Hence, after calming the audience, the television station changed the topic to the national television station¡¯s question library. Everyone calmed down.

    Of course, the scene of themotion was not edited in the main film of the program. Hence, just as the audience was in an uproar, the question bank in the program suddenly changed. It connected to the question bank of the national television station and randomly chose the questions.

    [ Let¡¯s see how Xia Wanyuan fakes it this time. ]

    [ So what does the video that was yed on the watermelon table mean? Do you want us topare how miserable Xia Wanyuan will beter? ]

    [ It turns out that the Watermelon tform isn¡¯t supporting Xia Wanyuan but criticizing her? ]

    Everyone was waiting to see Xia Wanyuan suffer a crushing defeat.

    However¡­

    ¡°A¡± ¡°Correct¡±

    ¡°C¡± ¡°Correct¡±

    ¡°B¡± ¡°Correct¡±

    ¡­¡­..

    ¡­¡­..

    The orderly reply was like a recorder, making everyone confused.

    Xia Wanyuan stood calmly on the stage. Every time the question was read, she would quickly give an answer.

    No matter how difficult the questions were, she appeared calm andposed. When everyone, who were originally very anxious, saw Xia Wanyuan stand calmly and smoothly answer questions one after another, they miraculously quietened down.

    Until twenty questions werepleted, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s uracy rate was 100%.

    When the poetry segment ended, not only did the audience fall silent, but even thements fell silent for a few seconds before intense discussion erupted.

    [ This can¡¯t be fake, right¡­ It¡¯s the national desk¡¯s question bank. ]

    [ If this could be faked, Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t be scolded and kicked out of the entertainment industry every day, right? ]

    [ That¡¯s amazing¡­ Oh my god, there are twenty questions. I¡¯ve never heard of many of them, so not only is she good at ying the zither, but she also knows so much about poetry? You told me that such a person is called an illiterate? Then what am I? ]

    [ Ahhh, I dere Xia Wanyuan my goddess!! She¡¯s really amazing!! She¡¯s beautiful and cultured. Seriously. I¡¯ve always heard all kinds of scandals about her in the past. I even scolded her behind her back. I was blind in the past! ]

    Before the program ended, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance had already been pushed onto the trending list.

    Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan received an unexpected invitation.

 Chapter 172 - The Princess Accepts a New Variety

    <h4>Chapter 172: The Princess epts a New Variety</h4>

    There was no suspense in the program. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s team won. After this poetry meet, basically everyone present looked at Xia Wanyuan in a new light.

    Humans were such strange creatures. When they disliked someone, no matter how many other merits this person had, they would be covered by that one w.

    And when they removed thatyer of prejudice, they would realize those excellence that had been hidden by the prejudice in the past.

    On the stage, Xia Wanyuan stood quietly, as if she had the confidence to control everything. From the inside, she exuded an indifferent and calm temperament. Her absolutely beautiful appearance shed with her arrogant inner self, causing Xia Wanyuan to form a world of her own.

    [ She¡¯s really amazing and so beautiful¡­ ]

    [ Do you guys remember that Xia Wanyuan seems to y the zither very well¡­ ]

    [ I also heard that Xia Wanyuan knows how topose, but I¡¯ve never paid attention to it seriously. I want to see what Xia Wanyuan¡¯s melody and lyrics are liketer. ]

    [ I dere! I¡¯m officially a fan of this little sister today! ]

    [ You guys are crazy. It¡¯s just an image that was packaged. Go to the forums and see how Xia Wanyuan used to be illiterate. In any case, I don¡¯t believe that Xia Wanyuan suddenly became so amazing. There must be something fishy. ]

    Although there were still a lot of controversies, there was still a group of people who had be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans because of this variety show.

    Hence, some people swarmed into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan group, which had been silent for a while.

    The number of fans increased to 300.

    The group leader was overjoyed. Just as she was about to set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate, she recalled thest time she set off firecrackers in the group which caused tens of people to leave. The group leader held back and silently sent a few silly emoticons.

    The new fans saw that the fan group was not enthusiastic at all. Furthermore, the group leader looked a little naive. Another 30 fans left.

    Fan group leader:?<i>I have ament. I don¡¯t know if I should say it.</i>

    The controversy online had nothing to do with the current Xia Wanyuan, because the program had been recordedst week.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was looking curiously at a once popr talent show ¡°Super Star¡±.

    Ten minutes ago, Chen Yun called and told her that a variety show named ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± that was in preparation was recruiting guests widely.

    Because he had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing and lyrics standard during her live broadcast, the person in charge of the program felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability was not bad, so he wanted to invite her to participate.

    This variety program called ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± was actually not considered famous by the production team, but they were diligent. Every guest was invited by the program team¡¯s person-in-charge after multiple investigations.

    He did not blindly pursue big shots in the traffic. Instead, he really wanted to make a better program with his heart.

    After hearing the invitation of the person in charge, Chen Yun specially went to prepare aplete market report. He felt that this variety show could help Xia Wanyuan gain some fame, so he called her.

    After reading Chen Yun¡¯s report, Xia Wanyuan found it quite interesting.

    In this modern world, she entered the entertainment industry by following the original owner of the body. She did not care much about this, but since she had done it, she would not treat it perfunctorily.

    Seeing the research report of this variety team, Xia Wanyuan felt that Chen Yun¡¯s analysis was not wrong. If she wanted to change the impression she had in everyone¡¯s eyes, she needed to rely on a variety program to salvage this situation.

    Although the production cost was rtively low, she could ept this variety program that was serious.

    In her previous life, singing and dancing were only used to beautify the body and mind. Xia Wanyuan still did not know how to use singing and dancing as a variety show.

    After Xia Wanyuan watched the variety show for a long time, she realized that dancing could be done that way, and songs could be sung that way.

    Xia Wanyuan had never been a person who adhered to the rules. She immediately thought that since she had already decided to take on the variety program, she had to prepare and learn more skills.

    The production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had gone to the Happy World to promote the television drama. Since the program had been broadcasted, the corresponding publicity hot searches gradually climbed to the trending list on Weibo.

    However, this trending topic that the production team had bought to promote the drama was now upied by Xia Wanyuan.

    After finally watching the Happy World, the audience edited the video of Xia Wanyuan answering the question banks of the poetry meet, causing a heated discussion.

    [ Wow, this speed is too fast! ]

    [ She¡¯s really amazing. I¡¯ve been chasing after the poetry meet on national television. I feel that Xia Wanyuan seems to have a more sensitive reaction than that champion. ]

    [ Don¡¯t tell me she has a script? Is Xia Wanyuan that amazing? ]

    [ The person in front, are you questioning the national stage¡¯s question bank? Do you think Xia Wanyuan is NB enough to control the entire national stage? ]

    [ Can you guys stop arguing? I just want to say that the dress Xia Wanyuan is wearing seems to be Ya Zi¡¯s. It¡¯s so beautiful. I want to buy it. ]

    [ It¡¯s indeed very beautiful. Ya Zi¡¯s design standards are as high as ever. ]

    The originally exquisite chiffon dress was made of a gentle material. On the surface of the dress were severalrge orchids outlined with extremelyplicated hydra embroidery. As she walked, she looked graceful.

    This dress was already extremely beautiful. When Xia Wanyuan wore it, it corresponded with her temperament, making her look even more noble and elegant.

    There were many active women on Weibo. When they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outfit, there was only one sentence in their minds.

    <i>OMG! Buy her!</i>

    Hence, arge group of people rushed to Ya Zi¡¯s official Weibo and asked where they could buy the dress Xia Wanyuan was wearing.

    Ya Zi¡¯s officials quickly exined that Xia Wanyuan was wearing an exclusive design that Ya Zi had specially designed for her. However, theizens did not have to worry. The clothes in the same series as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s would be quickly released to the market.

    At this moment, the officials of Ya Zi had not thought about how amazing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to bring goods was.

    Normally, after female celebrities appeared in public, manyizens would search for their clothes, jewelry, and jessories.

    Female celebrities often represented the trend of fashion. Furthermore, there was an unwritten rule in the entertainment industry that the more popr they were, the newer the clothes that they wore from international brands were. The value of jewelry was also an important standard to measure the value of female celebrities.

    Ya Zi¡¯s style of clothing was rtively outstanding, so everyone recognized it at a nce.

    However, the jewelry and essories Xia Wanyuan was wearing had a blogger who specialized in the fashion industry. He searched for a long time but could not find a simr model.

    This blogger could not help but question, ¡°Looking at the more famous brands in the country, I haven¡¯t found any works with a simr style. Forgive me for not being professional enough this time, but I really don¡¯t know which family Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jewelry belongs to.¡±

 Chapter 173 - Jewelry

    <h4>Chapter 173: Jewelry</h4>

    ¡°When the Happy World was first broadcasted, I realized that the ruby ne Xia Wanyuan was wearing was very beautiful. I wanted to buy one for myself too, but I couldn¡¯t find any simr jewelry on the Inte.¡±

    [ I just finished eating melon seeds on the forums. Anyway, no one on the Inte has found the jewelry on Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ Unknown mystery in the entertainment industry?? Can any big shote out to guide us? ]

    [ I have a bold idea. Could this jewelry be fake? ]

    [ That can¡¯t be. Doesn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family have a few dors? They shouldn¡¯t be that poor. ]

    [ Don¡¯t sell your white rich beauty image. Everyone, check the current shares of the Xia familypany. Xia Yuanqing has alreadypletely handed over his power. ]

    Initially, not many people apart from industry insiders paid attention to the Xia family¡¯s shares change. Now, they had be the focus of everyone¡¯s attention.

    After eating the melon seeds, everyone looked at the unknown jewelry on Xia Wanyuan and fell into an even more subtle mood.

    The Xia family¡¯spany had changed power, and the entire inte could not find the brand.

    Afterparing for a long time, everyone realized that a series of jewelry from the Xiang family two years ago looked a little like the one on Xia Wanyuan.

    Some nosyizens rushed to the Xiang family¡¯s Weibo and attached a picture. They asked if it was a product of the Xiang family and received no response.

    This time, many people¡¯s mentality was a little mocking.

    In the entertainment industry, if one used unknown jewelry to participate in a program and did not wear the new clothes of a big shot season, they would be mocked for not being recognized by the fashion world.

    Many celebrities were mocked for being lousy because they could not borrow thetest items for the season when they walked the red carpet.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jewelry could not be found on the Inte even after searching the entire inte. They had found a more simr product that was actually in the style of the Xiang family a few years ago. It could not help but make people wonder if Xia Wanyuan was wearing a fake.

    There were also people who voiced their doubts. They felt that since Xia Wanyuan had Ya Zi¡¯s endorsement, it was not impossible for Ya Zi¡¯s officials to lend her the jewelry. However, this guess was quickly rejected by Ya Zi¡¯s officials.

    Theizens had the most time. Some people dug out many photos of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s recent trip andpared them to find that many of her clothes and jewelry were not branded.

    In the entertainment industry and even the entire country in recent years, there had been some people who advocated foreign fashion. They felt that big brands abroad were the indicators of fashion.

    Other than a brand with a long legacy like Ya Zi that had a strong international influence, no matter how well the other national brands were done, they were not as trendy as international brands in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    [ Tsk, is there a problem with Ya Zi¡¯s spokesperson? ]

    [ Although she is indeed good-looking, isn¡¯t her fashion sense a little low? ]

    [ Er, this dress looks pretty good on her? Why should we care about the brand? ]

    [ The person in front, it¡¯s fine if we don¡¯t care about the brand. She¡¯s from the entertainment industry. If everyone in the entertainment industry goes to put on a sack, who will still talk about the value of the celebrity? ]

    Within Sheng Shi Corporation,

    ¡°Young Master, our projects have been snatched away by the Jun Corporation recently.¡±

    The assistant ced the documents in front of Xuan Sheng, but Xuan Sheng did not seem to care. He was ying with the golden bird in the birdcage by the window.

    ¡°Shush, call me.¡± Xuan Sheng fed the bird food and the clear chirping of a bird sounded in the office. Xuan Sheng smiled and put down the bird food can in his hand. He picked up the document beside him and read it.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you find out the exact rtionship between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Many things regarding Xia Wanyuan have been wiped clean, but we¡¯ve found that the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal team has been active very frequently recently.¡±

 Chapter 174 - Designer Big Boss

    <h4>Chapter 174: Designer Big Boss</h4>

    ¡°What is it?¡± Xuan Sheng gestured for his assistant to continue.

    ¡°They¡¯re very tight-lipped and we couldn¡¯t get any details, but we sent people to follow them for a while and found that a few of the employees are close to the people from the divorce notary.¡±

    Xuan Sheng, who was lying on the chair, suddenly sat up. ¡°Divorce notary?¡±

    Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes.?<i>So I had been wrong all along? Not a canary? She was actually married? With Jun Shiling? But why didn¡¯t any news leak out? And why did she want a divorce?</i>

    Countless questions suddenly appeared in Xuan Sheng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°You can leave first. Don¡¯t mention this to anyone.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    After his assistant left the office, Xuan Sheng sat on the chair and thought for a long time. He still could not figure out the rtionship between the two of them. The faint agitation in his head seemed to being back.

    Xuan Sheng took the headphones from the side and listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song. Amidst the soothing sound of the zither, Xuan Sheng¡¯s tightly furrowed brows gradually rxed.

    When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with determination.

    Thements online had been fermenting. Some evenpared the clothes Xia Wanyuan was wearing with the details of some big shots and found that many of them were simr.

    This made the nature of the matter change from not being of a high enough level to being suspected of piracy. Many Tieba and forums opened various posts, and thements were mostly filled with mockery.

    Xia Wanyuan had recently liked to browse Weibo. She also wanted to understand the preferences of modern people, so she had seen thesements directed at her clothes.

    Xia Wanyuan was somewhat puzzled. This was because among the branded outfits that theizens had posted, Xia Wanyuan did not find them especially beautiful. Just because of a brand, it actually made so many people flock to it.

    Seeing that more and moreizens were rushing to her Weiboments section to demand an exnation, Xia Wanyuan went to look for Uncle Wang. Her clothes were all prepared in the manor, and she herself didn¡¯t know where these clothes and essories came from.

    While theizens were still specting, a big news suddenly appeared in the clothing industry.

    In the world of fashion design, there were a few living design masters who could still be called legendary masters. These masters came from different countries, but they also had an unshakeable status in the history of world fashion design.

    Over the years, two or three people had gradually announced their retirement to the outside world. Their legend was left on the market, and there was no trace of them anymore.

    But today, one of the design masters, Karl, who was reputed to be the best in the fashion industry, suddenly updated his social media.

    ¡°Oriental Muse gave me inspiration.¡±

    The apanying photos were a few simple but designed clothes.

    Because this social ount was posted on the Inte, thements were basically filled with praises and praises for the master¡¯s works by people from all countries. There were no otherments.

    The asionalments asking who the Oriental Muse was drowned in the endlessments.

    Although there was a boundary between the domestic and foreignworks, this boundary was not unbreakable. Someizens who had external ounts saw this post when they were strolling on the Inte.

    At that moment, they felt that the clothes looked a little familiar. After saving the screenshot, they reposted it on Weibo in China.

    ¡°I was too bored so I browsed the foreignwork today. I saw clothes designed by a big shot designer. Why do I feel that they look a little like the ones on Xia Wanyuan?¡±

 Chapter 175 - Heartache

    <h4>Chapter 175: Heartache</h4>

    [ Front row, I went to look for some photos of Xia Wanyuan. They really look alike. ]

    [ I even feel that this dress looks better on Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ Can someone tell me who this Karl is? Is he very powerful? ]

    [ Karl is one of those contract designers that international big brands can¡¯t hire even if they pay an astronomical price. I heard that Master Karl has only worked with these international big brands a few times. I heard that the Xiang family has offered ten million dors a year to hire Master Karl as the controller of their brand. They¡¯ve discussed for so many years but they haven¡¯t been able to settle on an agreement. ]

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m gaining knowledge. Is she that NB? Can Xia Wanyuan hire such a powerful person to make her clothes? ]

    [ No way. Why do I look like I don¡¯t believe it? ]

    Master Karl¡¯s reputation was too great. At that moment, theizens were still filled with doubts until Master Karl posted another post.

    This time, Master Carl directly used a photo of Xia Wanyuan.

    Mostizens had seen this photo before. It was the group of airport photos that had been taken at the time because ¡°Xia Wanyuan finished filming the Long Bad in ten days¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple white floral print shirt and a tender-colored windbreaker with long flower petals sleeves. A long belt was tied around her waist, making her look like a budding flower.

    In the crowded airport, she did not need to do anything to be the focus of the crowd.

    Theizens outside the Inte didn¡¯t know who Xia Wanyuan was. They only thought that she was Master Carl¡¯s new model.

    Other than her overly exquisite beauty, the inte did not have much of a reaction to her.

    However, the country exploded because of this photo.

    [ Is this the Master Karl I know??? Is it?? Is that so??? ]

    [ Oh my god, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you. ]

    [ I apologize for saying that Xia Wanyuan was wearing a fake. I want to wear such a fake too. Boohoo. ]

    [ So, does anyone want to exin why Xia Wanyuan is so NB? Why can¡¯t so many international big shots hire Master Karl, but he would tailor clothes for her alone? ]

    [ Could it be that Xia Wanyuan has a mysterious big shot behind her that we don¡¯t know about? The kind that can hire Master Karl? ]

    [ Forget it. I won¡¯t believe it unless Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling get married. Do you think it¡¯s so easy to hire Master Carl? ]

    [ Hahaha, the person in front is amazing. You have such a rich imagination. You can actually put Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling together. This scene is too beautiful I don¡¯t dare to imagine. ]

    Due to Master Karl¡¯s actions, the debate about Xia Wanyuan and the counterfeit gradually subsided. Everyone began to dig up Xia Wanyuan¡¯s background.

    In these few waves, first it was Ya Zi¡¯s official endorsement, then it was the talented gold medal stylist Mu Feng, and now it was Master Karl, who could not even be invited by top international big shots.

    Even in novels, there was no such thing as a reversal so quickly?!

    However, after much digging, everyone realized that she was really just a rich girl. At present, the Xia family¡¯s shares had been transferred to someone else, and Xia Yuanqing had already transferred his power.

    In an instant, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s background became an unsolved mystery in the entertainment industry.

    Meanwhile, the protagonist who was hotly discussed was sweating profusely in the manor¡¯s dance studio.

    Xia Wanyuan was someone who would do whatever she wanted and wanted to do her best.

    Over the past two days, Chen Yun hadmunicated with the person in charge of ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± and had preliminary finalized many details. He had finally confirmed that Xia Wanyuan would be participating in this program.

    ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± adopted an advancement model that was somewhat simr to a talent show. However, the talent show chose newbies, while ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± targeted celebrities. Through rounds of advancementpetitions, the final winner was chosen.

    Due to the limited production budget of this variety program and the fact that the tform was notrge enough, almost all of the selected ones were B- and C-list celebrities. Their goal was to use this variety program to promote some celebrities with potential to the public.

    Through the advancement system, they could constantly show the ability of high-quality celebrities to everyone. Hence, many celebrities who wanted to increase their fame had a more enthusiastic attitude towards this program.

    Since the original owner of the body could debut in the past, she naturally had some foundation. This body had learned ballet since she was young and had enough flexibility.

    However, she had not practiced for a long time and seemed a little sore. Xia Wanyuan took a long time to stretch before she could barely perform the dance moves.

    The original owner of the body still had the natural reaction of ballet, while Xia Wanyuan¡¯s memories were all of her previous life¡¯s dance practice. Hence, after stretching her body, Xia Wanyuan practiced for a while and felt that her movements looked much smoother.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s basic skills were rather solid. From the age of three, the teachers in the pce had begun to strictly train her. The princess of the Great Xia Kingdom carried the glory of the country, so she naturally could not ck off.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan?¡± Jun Shiling got off work and returned to the manor, but he did not see Xia Wanyuan in the living room.

    ¡°Madam is in the dance studio.¡±

    <i>The dance studio??</i>

    Jun Shiling was a little confused. He put down his things and walked to the dance studio.

    Music was ying in the dance studio. Jun Shiling pushed open the door and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a T-shirt and had her hair tied up in a ponytail, practicing hard.

    Xia Wanyuan looked as if she had practiced for a long time. Her clothes were drenched in sweat, and her face was flushed as she panted.

    ¡°You¡¯re off work?¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling enter, Xia Wanyuan stopped what she was doing and wiped her sweat. Jun Shiling took a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Why did you suddenly start practicing dancing?¡±

    ¡°I epted a variety show. I need to practice dancing.¡± Xia Wanyuan gulped down half a bottle of water.

    After resting for a while, Xia Wanyuan began to practice again. Jun Shiling sat at the side and did not leave, and Xia Wanyuan allowed him to watch.

    Xia Wanyuan had already practiced ssical dance for the entire afternoon. Those dance moves were engraved in the depths of her soul, so it was easier to practice.

    However, when Xia Wanyuan scrolled through Weibo in the past few days, she had seen many modern dance forms that were popr among theizens. Furthermore, these dances were rtively new to her, so she had tried to learn them. However, because she was not familiar with the movements, it was more difficult to dance.

    Jun Shiling sat by the side and watched Xia Wanyuan practice.

    Compared to ssical dance, modern dance forms had a faster rhythm and were sexier.

    Xia Wanyuan danced with the music. Her T-shirt was tight, outlining her perfect figure and exuding an alluring charm.

    In the past, whenever he touched Xia Wanyuan through her clothes, it would make Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surge. Now, facing the lively fragrance close to him, there was no hint of charm in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    After an entire half an hour, Xia Wanyuan was still practicing her dance moves over and over again. She watched as more sweat poured down Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and her movements became more and more sluggish.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned worse.

 Chapter 176 - The Princess and Master Jun Quarreled

    <h4>Chapter 176: The Princess and Master Jun Quarreled</h4>

    An hour passed, and Jun Shiling remained silent.

    After practicing for a long time, she realized that she seemed to have grasped the basics of modern dance. Xia Wanyuan was about to practice again when she realized that the music had stopped.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. Jun Shiling was holding the switch of the music yer, looking at her with an unhappy expression.

    ¡°Do you want to die?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice had a hint of suppressed anger.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t time tight? I¡¯ve had morning runs and training these few days, so my body is fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. In fact, the intensity of her training in her previous life was much higher than this.

    It was just that the original owner of the body was a little weak, so it was so difficult for her to dance.

    She believed that she would be much better after a few more days of training.

    ¡°Am I not providing you enough food or clothes? You can use my card whenever you want. Do you have to work so hard?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan still looked indifferent, Jun Shiling could not suppress the anger in his heart any longer.

    ¡°I can¡¯t stay here forever. I¡¯ll be leaving in a month. I can¡¯t always rely on others, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan blurted out what she thought.

    She had never ced her fate on relying on others. Although Jun Shiling had given her a hundred million dors for the divorce, it would be used up one day. Since she had epted a variety show, she naturally wanted to do her best.

    ¡°Okay, whatever you want.¡± Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and said this as if he was very angry, then left in a huff.

    <i>She still wanted to leave. It turned out that she was working so hard to leave herself. Didn¡¯t she miss this ce at all?</i>

    Uncle Wang could feel the coldness on Jun Shiling¡¯s face even from a hundred meters away.

    Uncle Wang¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw Jun Shiling storm out of the dance studio and enter the study upstairs without looking back.?<i>¡®What¡¯s wrong? Did Young Master and Madam quarrel?¡¯</i>

    In the dance studio, Xia Wanyuan was also a little confused. She did not know why Jun Shiling was suddenly so angry. In her impression, Jun Shiling had always been calm andposed. Nothing could affect him.

    After hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan did not n to continue practicing today. She stretched her waist and walked out of the dance studio.

    ¡°Madam.¡± Uncle Wang was waiting outside.

    ¡°Uncle Wang.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°I saw that Young Master¡¯s expression was bad just now. Did Young Master anger you, Madam?¡± Uncle Wang asked hesitantly.

    ¡°No, Uncle Wang, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go up and take a lookter.¡±

    ¡°Madam, Young Master has a cold personality since he was young. If he has offended you, please forgive him. Actually, I can tell that Young Master is quite concerned about Madam. Perhaps he saw that Madam was working too hard, so he said a few more words. Don¡¯t me him.¡±

    Uncle Wang carefully persuaded Xia Wanyuan. He was experienced and could tell that Jun Shiling had feelings for Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan seemed to not have any feelings for Jun Shiling.

    Uncle Wang did not know what rtionship Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had now, so he did not dare to say much.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, I don¡¯t me him. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Xia Wanyuanforted Uncle Wang for a while and went upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan had sweated too much from practicing dance. She took a shower, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to make a ss of fruit juice with Jun Shiling¡¯s favorite fruit. She brought it to the study and knocked on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

 Chapter 177 - Make Up

    <h4>Chapter 177: Make Up</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and entered. Jun Shiling, who was reading at the table, looked up at Xia Wanyuan and lowered his head. For the first time, he did not stand up to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    A hint of a smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. This was the first time she had seen Jun Shiling angry. It seemed that Xiao Bao¡¯s habit of ignoring others after getting angry was inherited from Jun Shiling.

    She suddenly felt that Jun Shiling looked a little awkward and cute like this.

    Xia Wanyuan ced the fruit juice beside Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling nced at it and his gaze softened for a moment, but he immediately hardened his heart and looked away.

    ¡°I know you¡¯re worried about me. I¡¯m very grateful.¡± Xia Wanyuan moved a chair and sat opposite Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Who wants your gratitude?¡± Upon hearing the word ¡®grateful¡¯, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with displeasure.

    ¡°I¡¯m not grateful. I¡¯m touched, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiledfortingly. ¡°But if it were you today, you would have fought as hard as me, right?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling suddenly looked up and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s watery eyes. The determination and rity in her eyes were more dazzling than any pearls he had ever seen.

    She was right. In some aspects, Xia Wanyuan was very simr to him. If he was the one who had epted the variety show today, he would also do his best.

    ¡°I just¡­ think that you¡¯re working too hard.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude softened. ¡°The money I.¡±

    Jun Shiling wanted to say that he could give her all the money, but he stopped when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear and bright eyes.

    <i>The determination and arrogance that she exuded were what attracted me the most, right? How could someone like her allow herself to live under someone else¡¯s wings forever? She was destined to fight the storm and spread her wings to fly.</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have spoken to you so harshly just now.¡± After calming down, Jun Shiling recalled his reaction and his eyes were filled with guilt.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re just concerned about me. Can you give me face and try the fruit juice I made for CEO Jun now?¡±

    After the exercise, Xia Wanyuan looked flushed. At that moment, she was smiling slightly, and her lively and yful look made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart throb.

    ¡°What do you n to do in the future?¡± Jun Shiling finished the entire bottle of fruit juice and asked this question casually.

    ¡°I think I¡¯ll do my best in the entertainment industry. If I don¡¯t do well, I¡¯ll retire and study hard. Perhaps I can even go to university and travel around.¡±

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had never left the borders of the Xia Dynasty. With such advanced transportation in this life, Xia Wanyuan wanted to visit the entire world.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling quietly listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s future ns.?<i>There¡¯s no me or the manor, it was as if everything here had nothing to do with her.</i>

    ¡°What about Jun Yin?¡± Jun Shiling mentioned Xiao Bao.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless at the mention of Xiao Bao. When she had signed the agreement with Jun Shiling, she had taken more pity on Xiao Bao.

    After spending some time together, Xiao Bao had long be someone she could not bear to part with. Now that Jun Shiling was talking about Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan did not know how to exin it to him.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Jun Yin will be back soon. Let¡¯s go down and eat.¡± In the end, Jun Shiling broke the stalemate.

    Uncle Wang waited downstairs and watched Xia Wanyuan enter for a while. When he came out, he was finally relieved to see Jun Shiling, who had a calm expression on his face.

    Unexpectedly, Xiao Bao, who usually went home on time, was not home yet.

    Just as he was wondering if there was a traffic jam, the school called.

 Chapter 178 - Exposed Father and Son Relationship with the Little Treasure Jun Shiling

    <h4>Chapter 178: Exposed Father and Son Rtionship with the Little Treasure Jun Shiling</h4>

    ¡°What is it? Got it. I¡¯ll go over now.¡± Jun Shiling picked up the phone and his aura instantly turned cold.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little worried.?<i>¡®Did something happen to Xiao Bao in school?¡¯</i>

    ¡°There¡¯s something going on at Jun Yin¡¯s school. I¡¯ll go over.¡± There was a hint of anger between Jun Shiling¡¯s brows.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    At the entrance of the kindergarten.

    In the past around this time, most people had already brought their children home.

    However, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the kindergarten today. Everyone gathered in a circle and watched themotion within.

    ¡°Tsk, that¡¯s too much. She¡¯s just a child. Why does she have to do this?¡±

    ¡°My child is in the same ss as him. I heard that this child is an illegitimate child of some family.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s true. If he wasn¡¯t an illegitimate child, how could he have a nannye to every parent-teacher meeting and sports meet? Anyway, I¡¯ve never seen his parentse before.¡±

    ¡°Even if he¡¯s an illegitimate child, there¡¯s no need to bully a child like this.¡±

    The focus of everyone¡¯s discussion was on the few people who were surrounded and pointed out.

    Xiao Bao was surrounded by the few strong bodyguards whom the opposite party had brought over. His big eyes were filled with grievance as he wanted to go out. The bodyguards immediately crossed their legs and stopped Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Hmph, I want to see whose parents raised such an uneducated child.¡± The person who spoke was dressed in branded clothes and had a haughty expression.

    It was Cheng Wu, who had quarreled with Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan at the kindergartenst time.

    She was a typical full-time housewife. She usually did not pay attention to the business world or the entertainment industry. She only cared about shopping and ying mahjong, so she did not recognize Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Thest time she was pped by Xia Wanyuan, she had gotten someone to check the kindergarten¡¯s internal information and found Jun Yin¡¯s parents¡¯ names and their jobs.

    Cheng Wu looked at their workce and position. They were just executives who worked for other people. In front of a family that had upied Beijing for a long time, they were nothing.

    <i>Hmph, this international kindergarten used to be known for only epting influential people and even set an especially high threshold. I wonder what rtionship these two had used to get their son in.</i>

    Now, her heart was filled with anger. She actually let a person with no status p her. She could not swallow this anger no matter what.

    Her son was mischievous and was a devil in kindergarten. When school was ending in the afternoon, he snatched Jun Yin¡¯s milk candy again.

    Jun Yin immediately started arguing with him. When Cheng Wu arrived, Jun Yin was retaliating against her son¡¯s attack.

    Xia Wanyuan did not fight with children, but Cheng Wu did not have this awareness. She immediately stepped forward and wanted to p Jun Yin. Fortunately, Jun Yin dodged quickly and was not hit.

    Cheng Wu went forward to catch Jun Yin. Jun Yin nimbly tangled with her and identally pulled her crocodile skin bag that was worth more than a million dors. This made Cheng Wu furious. He called for the bodyguards and was about to catch Jun Yin.

    Fortunately, when the kindergarten teacher came out to mediate, Cheng Wu threatened Jun Yin¡¯s parents toe and apologize to her personally. The chauffeur who came to pick Jun Yin up was stunned by what he saw, so he hurriedly called the manor.

    When the parents saw Xiao Bao, who looked pitiful, surrounded by bodyguards, they could not help but persuade her.

    ¡°Pfft, who knows whose illegitimate child it is? Has anyone seen his parentse before? They¡¯re probably not presentable, that¡¯s why they¡¯re so sneaky.¡±

    Cheng Wu¡¯s family was rich and powerful, and she had always been used to being arrogant. After confirming that Jun Yin¡¯s family background was average, Cheng Wu spoke without thinking.

    ¡°You¡¯re the illegitimate child! I have Daddy and Mommy! You bad person!¡±

    Hearing this bad woman say that he was a bastard, tears welled up in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes. He wanted to pry open the bodyguard¡¯s leg and go out, but he could not.

    ¡°Little bastard, you¡¯re indeed as sharp-tongued as that shameless mother of yours.¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning face, a hint of jealousy shed across Cheng Wu¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you¡¯re not a bastard, why didn¡¯t anyone pick you up? I have to make your two unpresentable parents apologize to me today.¡±

    ¡°Apologize to you? Who do you think you are?¡± A deep and maic voice with obvious anger suddenly came from outside the crowd.

    Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

    Jun Shiling was dressed in a high-end suit, making him look extraordinarily handsome. His facial features seemed to be carved out of marble, and his deep eyes were filled with the pressure of thousands of troops, making people dare not look straight at him.

    Cheng Wu was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s aura for a moment, but she calmed down when she thought of the kindergarten¡¯s internal information. ¡°Your son is so ill-mannered that he tore my bag apart. Shouldn¡¯t you apologize for him? Everyone present saw your son pulling my bag. They can testify.¡±

    Cheng Wu pointed at the crowd around him and realized that everyone was looking at Jun Shiling in silence. Other than some people who were shocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s appearance and aura, some people looked at Jun Shiling with trembling eyes and even deep fear.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Upon seeing Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao¡¯s tears fell one after another. He was crying very sadly. Jun Shiling strode in, and everyone subconsciously made way for him.

    ¡°Get lost.¡±

    The bodyguard in front of him wanted to stop Jun Shiling from touching Xiao Bao, but he was frightened by Jun Shiling¡¯s angry voice.

    Feeling a heavy weight around them, the bodyguards did not dare to look at Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and subconsciously moved away.

    Xiao Bao was finally released. Jun Shiling bowed slightly, and Xiao Bao wrapped his arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, lying in his arms.

    ¡°Boohoo, Daddy, they¡¯re bullying me.¡± Xiao Bao had never suffered such grievances in his life. He immediately cried until he was out of breath, and his tears kept falling.

    ¡°Alright, man, don¡¯t cry.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s back gently. Although Xiao Bao was still crying, he gradually stopped crying after hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words. However, tears of grievance kept flowing out of his eyes.

    ¡°Hey, did you hear that? If you don¡¯t apologize andpensate me today, you won¡¯t be able to get over this. I¡¯ll make sure you can¡¯t survive in Beijing anymore.¡± Cheng Wu was unhappy that Jun Shiling ignored her directly and shouted at him.

    Some people in the crowd who knew Jun Shiling looked at Cheng Wu like she was a dead person.

    Under Jun Shiling¡¯sfort, Xiao Bao¡¯s emotions gradually calmed down. Only then did Jun Shiling turn around and look at Cheng Wu coldly.

    ¡°I wonder how you¡¯re going to make me unable to survive in Beijing?¡±

    Cheng Wu was about to speak when she saw her husband rushing over. She immediately called out in surprise, ¡°Hubby!¡±

    Unexpectedly, her husband ignored her directly. Instead, he wiped his sweat and ran to Jun Shiling, calling out fearfully,

    ¡°Young Master Jun.¡±

 Chapter 179 - Real Exposure

    <h4>Chapter 179: Real Exposure</h4>

    Wang Kuan was still confused. He had just been in a meeting in thepany when he suddenly received news that Jun Shiling was looking for him.

    He had thought that he was a liar and had immediately hung up the phone. Who would have thought that someone from the Wang family would call him directly and say that his wife had gotten into trouble, asking him to hurry to the kindergarten?

    Although he still did not understand what conflict Jun Shiling and Cheng Wu had, he knew his wife¡¯s arrogant and despotic personality. He immediately knew that something was wrong and hurried over.

    ¡°Hubby, what are you doing?¡± Cheng Wu was puzzled by Wang Kuan¡¯s respectful treatment of Jun Shiling.?<i>Wasn¡¯t he just the CEO of a smallpany? What is there to be afraid of?</i>

    ¡°Get over here and apologize!¡± Wang Kuan looked at Cheng Wu angrily.

    It was one thing for this woman to spend money every day, but now, she had actually provoked Jun Shiling. Not many people in the world dared to provoke this great Buddha!

    ¡°What are you afraid of? He¡¯s just¡­¡± Cheng Wu looked at Wang Kuan¡¯s frightened expression with disdain.

    ¡°He¡¯s the head of the Jun family! The CEO of the Jun Corporation! Come here quickly!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Even if Cheng Wu did not care about the outside world, she still knew about the Jun Corporation. She looked at Jun Shiling, who was hugging the child with a cold expression.?<i>How could the head of the Jun family be so young?!!</i>

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize. I¡¯m waiting to see how the Wang family will make it impossible for me to survive in Beijing.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Wang Kuan with cold eyes. Wang Kuan felt his heart turn cold.

    <i>Oh no.</i>

    After saying this, Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao and left without waiting for Wang Kuan and Cheng Wu¡¯s reactions.

    ¡°Hubby, I¡­¡± Cheng Wu¡¯s legs were weak now. She knew very well what the head of the Jun family represented, and she had just called him ¡®bastard¡¯. At the thought of this, Cheng Wu shuddered.

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me husband. Just get divorced when you get back.¡± Wang Kuan¡¯s palms were still sweating. He didn¡¯t know what Jun Shiling meant by hisst sentence, nor did he know how Jun Shiling would deal with them. The only thought in his mind was to divorce Cheng Wu.

    ¡°What did you say?! I know I was wrong. Hubby, don¡¯t¡­¡± She had finally married into the Wang family and had only enjoyed a few years of luxurious life. She did not want to divorce Wang Kuan.

    Wang Kuan walked out, ignoring Cheng Wu¡¯s cries.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao got into the car and realized that Xia Wanyuan was here too.

    Themotion over there had been huge just now. Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in the car, had also seen the general situation. She immediately reached out to Xiao Bao and hugged him.

    ¡°Be good. Don¡¯t bother about those bad people. Mommy loves you very much.¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s tears that had just stopped flowed uncontrobly under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentlefort.

    ¡°Alright, stop crying. Look at the cake Mommy brought for you. Here, try it.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could reach out, Jun Shiling opened the cake box and stretched it out in front of her.

    Children were easy to coax. After eating a sweet cake, Xiao Bao began to y with the toys in the car with a smile.

    This time, it was different from the previous time.

    The previous night, there was no one at the entrance of the kindergarten. Other than Cheng Wu, no one else had seen Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. However, it was different this time.

    People who were watching themotion surrounded the door. Some of them knew Jun Shiling from the beginning, while others only knew who he waster.

    With so many people around, the fact that Jun Shiling had a child was exposed.

    The moment Lin Jing noticed the signs of exposure, he reported to Jun Shiling and asked if he needed to suppress the newspletely.

    In the past few years, Jun Shiling had never been willing to let others know that he had a son.

    After pondering for a moment, Jun Shiling thought of what Cheng Wu had said about Jun Yin being a bastard and narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°There¡¯s no need to suppress it. Let them post it. Just remember not to expose Jun Yin¡¯s appearance.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s permission, Lin Jing set up the arrangements and released the restrictions. As for the conditions to hide Xiao Bao¡¯s appearance, the major news media readily agreed. This was something that should be done.

    Hence, the inte, which had just stopped for a while, suddenly sent a message.

    ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s son exposed¡±, ¡°Jun Shiling appears in kindergarten¡±, ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s Domineering Child Protection¡±, ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s son¡±, and other trending words instantly exploded on the Inte.

    The first time the whole Inte publicly recognized Jun Shiling was when the world wealthiest men ranking was released. From then on, Jun Shiling jumped to the top of the world¡¯s number one prince charming and had never wavered.

    Even though it was exposed that Jun Shiling had a woman apanying himst time and their actions were rather intimate, everyone¡¯s yearning for Jun Shiling did not change at all.

    After all, ying Inte celebrities and dating were not real. Everyone felt that there would be a day when they would break up.

    Who would have thought that the news that was being reposted by the entire inte would skip the engagement, marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth, and leap to the stage of having a son?

    This topic was too explosive. In just a minute, the top ten trending searches were upied by Jun Shiling¡¯s rted posts. All of them had explosive red words behind them.

    The programmer¡¯s hair said:?<i>I can¡¯t hold on anymore, I really can¡¯t hold on anymore.</i>

    [ Why did the world change when I woke up from my nap?!! My husband cheated on me? ]

    [ The person in front, your nap was really amazing. Also, please don¡¯t call other people ¡®husband¡¯ casually, okay? Jun Shiling is my husband. ]

    [ Is there any point in fighting? He already has a son. Boohoo, boohoo, my heart is broken. Tonight is the night that billions of girls dream about. ]

    [ I¡¯ve never heard that he was married. Why does he suddenly have a child? ]

    [ I¡¯ve never heard that Jun Shiling has a wife? Besides, this child looks more than three years old. Why is he only exposed now? ]

    [ I heard from my friends at the scene that Jun Shiling had never participated in this child¡¯s parent-teacher meeting in the past. Everyone didn¡¯t know that this was Jun Shiling¡¯s child at all, so they guessed that this child was an illegitimate child. Jun Shiling only appeared today when the child was bullied. ]

    [ Perhaps he¡¯s really an illegitimate child¡­ Otherwise, why hasn¡¯t there been any news of the child¡¯s mother for so many years? ]

    [ Um, I¡¯m willing to be a stepmother. Boohoo, although there¡¯s mosaic, I can still feel that the child is so cute!! He must have inherited Jun Shiling¡¯s super good looks! ]

    [ Can the person in front have a little shame? What are you saying, being a stepmother? Let our old aunt do such a shameless thing (dog) ]

    The news that Jun Shiling had a son spread across the Inte almost instantly.

    But what was strange was that the industry had originally thought that Jun Shiling would no longer be the first lover of their dreams. Who would have thought that ording to the statistics on a certain website, there would be countless people moring to be the little dumpling¡¯s stepmother? In fact, the statistics were even higher than before.

    The industry insiders expressed:????

 Chapter 180 - Phoenixs Nirvana - New Manager

    <h4>Chapter 180: Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana ¨C New Manager</h4>

    ¡°Young Master, Old Master¡¯s birthday ising up soon. What gift should we prepare for him this year?¡±

    The assistant stood in front of the desk and looked carefully at Xuan Sheng, who was furious.

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t he like calligraphy and painting? Go and find an auction.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at the news on theputer and rubbed his eyebrows. ¡°Also, investigate who gave birth to Jun Shiling¡¯s child?¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    In the manor,

    Xia Wanyuan was practicing calligraphy when Uncle Wang called her down, saying that he had something to discuss.

    Xia Wanyuan went downstairs and saw someone she didn¡¯t know in the living room.

    Jun Shiling sat on the sofa while a graceful woman sat opposite him. One could tell that she had an extremely straightforward personality.

    While Xia Wanyuan was sizing up Tang Yin, Tang Yin was also sizing her up.

    Tang Yin was once a gold medal manager who had single-handedly produced two Best Actor. Yes, she was once.

    Ever since that incident six years ago, Tang Yin had withdrawn from the entertainment industry and quietly took care of her flower shop. From then on, she no longer asked about anything in the entertainment industry.

    However, as soon as the shop opened this morning, a bespectacled man entered. He said that he was the special assistant of the Jun Corporation and that the master of the Jun Corporation wanted to meet her.

    Her first reaction was to think that the person in front of her was a liar. However, after being a manager for so many years, she still had the ability to recognize people. The man in sses in front of her was clearly an extremely capable person.

    She got into Lin Jing¡¯s car skeptically. When the car drove deep into the woods, Tang Yin was still nervous for a moment. Who would have thought that the Jun family¡¯s manor would appear in front of her in the dark? Only then did she believe Lin Jing¡¯s words.

    Until she was brought into the manor and saw the legendary Master of the Jun family, she still did not understand why Jun Shiling was looking for her.

    Jun Shiling was straightforward. He told her directly about asking her to be a manager, which she rejected immediately.

    Everything that had happened six years ago had made herpletely disappointed and hopeless in this industry. This was a ce that could easily hurt her heart. She did not want to and did not dare to step into it again.

    However, Jun Shiling seemed to have expected her answer. He only said calmly, ¡°Give me an answer when you see her.¡±

    Then Xia Wanyuan came down.

    At home, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple white dress. She did not put on any makeup, but her lips were still pursed and her eyebrows were as far apart as before.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly descending the stairs, had a hint of arrogance, two parts casual, three parts indifferent, and four parts elegant. She exuded extreme beauty from her bones.

    Tang Yin concluded almost instantly that this was a woman who would stand at the peak of the entertainment industry and leave everyone far behind at the foot of the mountain, able to create history.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked closer and greeted Tang Yin with a smile. Her every move and attitude obviously showed her aura.

    Tang Yin saw her wless facial features up close and was even more amazed.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Tang Yin stood up and bowed to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°She¡¯s a good manager.¡± Jun Shiling introduced Tang Yin to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brows twitched. To be praised by Jun Shiling as good, this woman in front of her should be extremely capable.

    ¡°This is my wife, Xia Wanyuan.¡± Jun Shiling introduced Xia Wanyuan to Tang Yin very naturally.

    Tang Yin was a little puzzled.?<i>Was there a need for Jun Shiling¡¯s wife to enter the entertainment industry? Besides, even if she wanted to go, Jun Shiling could have just taken the money and piled it up for her. Was there a need to spend so much effort to get me here?</i>

    ¡°Have you considered the question just now?¡± Jun Shiling naturally saw the confusion in Tang Yin¡¯s eyes, but he did not want to say more.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Tang Yin subconsciously wanted to reject him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to create a legend?¡± Jun Shiling seemed to know what Tang Yin was about to say. Before she could say anything, Jun Shiling added.

    Tang Yin was stunned. Thousands of thoughts surged in her heart.

    <i>A legend?</i>

    She had walked out of the depths of the mountains and started from the most difficult production team. After a long journey, she finally had a ce in the entertainment industry with her own strength.

    Of course, she had a dream to support her along the way. She wanted to create a legend, a legend that could lead the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, this dream was shattered by the cruel and bloody reality six years ago.

    And now, Jun Shiling was talking to her about legends?

    Tang Yin gritted her teeth and forced back the bitterness in her eyes. Suddenly, a handkerchief was handed to her. Tang Yin looked up and met a pair of phoenix eyes that were as gentle as water but also as firm as a mountain.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m willing to be Madam Jun¡¯s manager.¡± Seemingly having made a great decision, Tang Yin took the handkerchief from Xia Wanyuan and said to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Then you guys chat.¡± Jun Shiling was not surprised by Tang Yin¡¯s answer. Seeing that she had agreed, Jun Shiling went upstairs.

    From Jun Shiling and Tang Yin¡¯s conversation, Xia Wanyuan also understood that Tang Yin was the manager Jun Shiling had found for her.

    Chen Yun¡¯s ability was limited. Although she was not prepared to fire him, she really should find a capable manager. Since Jun Shiling had helped her find him, she would owe him a favor.

    Tang Yin could rely on her poor background and was even a woman to make a name for herself in theplicated entertainment industry, so she was naturally smooth and slick.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had a calm personality, she was also intelligent and had an extremely high EQ.

    From the bones, Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin actually had extremely tenacious wills. Soon, the two of them chatted.

    Half an hour passed, and Tang Yin was already filled with admiration for Xia Wanyuan. She felt that Xia Wanyuan was simply filled with treasures. A casual flip of the book was enough to shock everyone. She could already predict that in the near future, the entire entertainment industry would go crazy for Xia Wanyuan.

    And Xia Wanyuan, simrly, could feel the tenacious vitality and extremely decisive ability that burst forth from this woman in front of her. Xia Wanyuan felt that although Tang Yin was a woman, she was not inferior to any man. She developed a lot of trust in Tang Yin.

    ¡°Go and liaise with my other manager, Chen Yun, tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back first then. Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡±

    Until she walked out of the manor¡¯s door, Tang Yin felt as if it was a dream. On the way back, Tang Yin, who had never looked at roadside advertisements for the past six years, raised her head for the first time. Slowly, it was as if she was familiar with this world again.

    On the electronic screen in themercial center, there was a promotional video of the popr Best Actor. That familiar smile was like a knife, breaking Tang Yin¡¯s gaze.

    Thinking of everything that had copsed six years ago, Tang Yin clenched her fists. This time, she was going to bring Xia Wanyuan to Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana.

    In the manor, in order to thank Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan thought about it and realized that Jun Shiling did not seem tock anything, so she prepared to cook dinner herself.

 Chapter 181 - Its My Fault

    <h4>Chapter 181: It¡¯s My Fault</h4>

    After getting the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients, Xia Wanyuan gave everyone a break.

    After finishing his work, he walked downstairs and saw that the living room was empty. Jun Shiling looked around but did not see Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam is cooking in the kitchen.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could speak, Uncle Wang stepped forward and informed him of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements.

    Jun Shiling walked to the kitchen door and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was busy inside.

    The others all had work meals, and Xia Wanyuan only needed to cook for three people. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had prepared three dishes and a soup, and she was cooking pork ribs in the pot.

    The boiling soup kept bubbling, making some gurgling noises. A thick fragrance floated in the air.

    The lights in the kitchen were rtively dim. At that moment, they shone on Xia Wanyuan, making her look very gentle.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing an apron, had an extremely graceful waist outlined by a string. Her long seaweed-like hair was simply tied behind her head, and her entire person exuded extreme warmth.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and was about to put some seasonings into her ribs when she saw Jun Shiling standing quietly at the door.

    ¡°Mm, why are you cooking yourself?¡± Jun Shiling restrained the emotions in his eyes and walked into the kitchen.

    ¡°I¡¯m doing it for you.¡±

    ¡°For me?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s short sentence made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart feel as if it had been soaked in warm water.

    ¡°Thank you for the manager you found for me. You¡¯re already the richest man in the world. Thinking about it, there¡¯s nothing I can give you, so I¡¯ll make a meal to thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and rolled up his sleeves. ¡°What do you need me to do?¡±

    ¡°Wash that. I¡¯ll cut the tofu.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not stand on ceremony with Jun Shiling and pointed at the vegetables on the chopping board.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling washed the vegetables in the pool while Xia Wanyuan cut the vegetables on the chopping board.

    The fragrance of caramel suddenly came from the air. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly walked to the stove and removed the lid. The rich fragrance of meat wafted over.

    Xia Wanyuan turned up the fire and gathered the juice fully. The thick soup wrapped around the soft pork ribs, making it look extremely alluring.

    Picking up a te to scoop up the pork ribs, Xia Wanyuan turned to cut the remaining dishes. Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling, who had just washed the dishes, turned around too. Xia Wanyuan bumped into Jun Shiling¡¯s chin.

    ¡°Hiss!¡± Jun Shiling was stunned by the collision and eximed softly.

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. Are you okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly took a step back.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the repayment? I haven¡¯t even eaten yet.¡± Jun Shiling stroked his chin and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a smile in his eyes.

    ¡°But you can¡¯t me me. Who asked you to suddenly turn around?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not realize that in front of Jun Shiling, she had gradually be ¡®unreasonable¡¯.

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Jun Shiling smiled, his eyes carrying a hint of undetectable indulgence. ¡°Then leave first. I¡¯ll turn around when you¡¯re done.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling¡¯s words. ¡°Since when does CEO Jun like to make fun of people?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled but did not speak.

    By the time the food was ready, Xiao Bao had just returned home. Ever since they found out that Xiao Bao was Jun Shiling¡¯s son, he had received important care in kindergarten. Finally, no one dared to snatch his milk candy anymore.

    That night, Jun Shiling had three bowls and Xiao Bao had two bowls of rice for dinner. They ate all the food on the table.

    ¡°Mommy, the food you make is the best I¡¯ve ever eaten!¡±

    The corners of Xiao Bao¡¯s lips were still stained with pork ribs, making him look like a little cat. As soon as he put down the bowl, he started praising Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°

 Chapter 182 - Confrontation at the Auction

    <h4>Chapter 182: Confrontation at the Auction</h4>

    ¡°Really? You said yesterday that Nanny Li¡¯s chicken wings were the best dish you¡¯ve ever eaten.¡±

    After being mercilessly exposed by Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks guiltily.

    ¡°Anyway, Mommy, your food is the best. Nanny Li¡¯s are the second best!¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your good evaluation, Xiao Bao ~¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s soft and cute head. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with warmth when he saw this scene.

    That day, when the management of the Jun Corporation refreshed their WeChat Moments as usual, they suddenly saw a nine-coge story. In the nine photos, sweet and sour pork whetted one¡¯s appetite, and the prawns looked fair and tender. In the middle of the night, they were extremely appetizing.

    However, there were only four dishes and he had posted nine photos.?<i>There must be something wrong with this person</i>, everyone thought to themselves.

    Then, they habitually prepared to scroll away, but they suddenly felt that something was wrong. Then, they returned to take a look at the highlighted section.

    <i>CEO Jun!</i>

    Everyone could not remain calm anymore. Jun Shiling had never posted anything on his Moments.

    <i>Should I pretend not to see my boss¡¯s WeChat friend circle or echo it? I¡¯m panicking online.</i>

    Just as everyone was hesitating, they saw ament under Jun Shiling¡¯s post.

    Lin Jing: ¡°Madam is amazing. The food looks delicious. Young Master, you¡¯re so lucky.¡±

    <i>What was Lin Jing? He was the direction of the Jun Corporation!! It was right to follow Assistant Lin!!</i>

    Hence, very quickly, there were manyments under Jun Shiling¡¯s post.

    ¡°It looks too appetizing. Aren¡¯t nine photos too little? I feel that putting a hundred isn¡¯t too much!¡±

    ¡°Madam is really amazing!¡±

    ¡°Madam actually cooked for CEO Jun herself. It¡¯s enough to see how much Madam cares and loves CEO Jun. We¡¯re so envious.¡±

    ¡°I wish CEO Jun and Madam a long and blissful life.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was lying on the bed and looking at his WeChat Moments before sleep, scrolled through the replies and a satisfied look shed across his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Which works are there today?¡± Xuan Sheng had just finished a meeting. He pulled off his tie and threw it aside as he asked his assistant.

    ¡°There¡¯s Master Su Qian, Master Lin Yu, and Yuan Wanxia, who has been in the limelight recently. Although he¡¯s not famous, I think the old master might like his style.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We have nothing to do now anyway. Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant hurriedly sent a car.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Young Master, Madam¡¯s painting should be the third one to appear.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling sat in the VIP room and looked at the bustling auction downstairs through the window.

    ¡°Wee to today¡¯s auction. Today¡¯s auction is mainly about painting and calligraphy. Everyone can choose what you like to auction as much as you want. Alright, let¡¯s not talk too much. Let¡¯s see today¡¯s first item.¡±

    The host downstairs began to introduce the author of the calligraphy and painting, his style and value.

    Xuan Sheng sat in the VIP room with a pair of slender legs on the table. He looked at the painting on the screen in front of him without any interest.

    ¡°How do you do things? Is this kind of person worth my attention?¡±

    The old master of the Xuan family liked calligraphy and painting. He was not trying to be elegant, but he was truly an expert. In order to please the old master, Xuan Sheng had secretly put in a lot of effort and thought into it. Naturally, he had some ability in this aspect. Even he did not fancy them, let alone the old master.

    Just as he was about to get up and leave, the host on the screen began to introduce the third calligraphy piece of the day.

    It was a The Map of Central Pine Fisheries from Yuan Wanxia.

 Chapter 183 - Ten Million Dollars for a Painting?!

    <h4>Chapter 183: Ten Million Dors for a Painting?!</h4>

    One of the important reasons Xuan Sheng did not like the first two paintings by famous painters was that they were too in.

    Master Su Qian¡¯s Phoenix Wearing Peony was graceful and luxurious. Master Lin Yu¡¯s ink bamboo also had a style.

    However, Xuan Sheng felt that something was missing.

    When he saw Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ancient pine painting slowly opening on the screen, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    This was an ancient pine painting, but it was different from any ancient pine painting Xuan Sheng had ever seen.

    The painting used white powder as snow, the heads of the trees and reeds to reach the peak, the sand feet as golden powder, and the broken ink to show the gentle sunlight after the snow.

    The entire scene was cold and sparse, with light snow umting. The scene of small boats and fishermen fishing formed a beautiful scene in the cold forest.

    The scenery was slightly covered in snow and mist, giving off the bleak atmosphere of the early winter season. However, there was nock of rich life interests.

    The scene at the back was filled with ancient pine trees that were decorated with ink. The pine needles were sharp with a brush, heavy with hooks, and the strokes were exquisite and clear.

    It was mainly dyed with ink and water-based ink. On the leaves of the ancient pine, the top was covered in powder or gold. After a small snowfall, there was still a scene of sunlight on the old pine tree.

    The old ancient pine had a bleak feeling in its historical literature.

    On the other hand, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting did not only draw ancient pine but alsobined the old ancient pine with the warm sunlight of the fishing vige, making people feel endless vitality from this painting.

    Furthermore, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting was very experienced in drawing. Even every stroke revealed a rxed ease.

    ¡°This one.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes were filled with interest.

    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s begin the auction for the third piece of work today. The starting price of this¡¯ Ancient Pine Fisherman¡¯s Painting ¡®from Yuan Wanxia is 1 million!¡±

    ¡°1.2 million.¡±

    ¡°1.3 million.¡±

    ¡°1.5 million.¡±

    ¡°2 million.¡±

    Everyone in the ordinary hall downstairs began to bid. Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling did not move.

    When the bid reached two million, no one raised the bid anymore.

    ¡°Alright, number 15 bid 2 million. Is there anyone higher than him? 2 million going once, 2 million going twice.¡± The host¡¯s hammer was about to fall.

    A bid came from the VIP room upstairs.

    ¡°2.5 million.¡±

    ¡°Okay, VIP room 1 bids 2.5 million. Is there anything higher?¡±

    Xuan Sheng originally wanted to wait for the final bid. Who would have thought that someone would have the same thoughts as him? He looked at VIP room 1 opposite and pressed the bid button.

    ¡°2.8 million.¡±

    ¡°Okay, VIP room 2 bids 2.8 million. Is there anything higher?¡±

    ¡°Three million dors.¡±

    ¡°3.5 million.¡±

    ¡°4 million.¡±

    ¡°4.5 million.¡±

    Looking at VIP Room 2 raising the price step by step, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was deep as he pressed the price button. ¡°10 million.¡±

    This caused amotion in the auction.

    The starting price of one million dors had actually increased by ten times. Furthermore, Yuan Wanxia was a name that no one had heard of. No one knew why his painting could be sold at such an expensive price.

    In private room 2, Xuan Sheng looked at the 10 million dors that had suddenly soared and confusion shed across his eyes.

    Although he liked this painting, he did not need to spend ten million dors. He immediately gave up on the thought of continuing to bid.

    ¡°Alright, VIP room 1 has bid 10 million. Is there anyone higher than 10 million? 10 million going once, 10 million going twice, 10 million going thrice! Let us congratte VIP room 2 for obtaining this¡±The Map of Central Pine Fisheries ¡°by Yuan Wanxia!¡±

    Until the end of the auction, no one knew who this mysterious guest who had bought a painting for ten million dors was.

    However, such a spendthrift act of doubling the price to the other party still caused a heated discussion.

    The calligraphy and painting world that did not appear in public all year round had gained a lot of attention this time.

    The trending topic ¡°Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting costs 10 million¡± quickly attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Everyone was attracted by the ten million dors and entered the trending topic.

    There was a piece of news about the auction on the trending topic. ¡°The mysterious buyer bought Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ¡®The Map of Central Pine Fisheries¡¯ at a high price of ten million dors, setting the auction record for this year¡¯s painting!¡±

    The apanying picture was a huge ¡®shock¡¯.

    [ Hiss, is this how rich people y? ]

    [ Ten million for a painting?!!!! Are you crazy? Can¡¯t you donate so much money to the mountains as a public service? Rich people really don¡¯t have a conscience. ]

    [ The person in front, do you hate the rich? How do you know that they haven¡¯t donated money? ]

    [ As a person who studies art, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a famous painter called Yuan Wanxia in the world of painting. Why can his painting be sold for so much? ]

    [ I heard that Master Su Qian and Master Lin Yu¡¯s paintings were auctioned at the same time. Their paintings were only below five million dors. How could Yuan Wanxia¡¯s be sold at such a high price? Could she be borrowing the auction tounder money? ]

    At this moment, everyone was just watching the fun. On the one hand, they were shocked by the high price of ten million dors. On the other hand, they were curious about what kind of painting Yuan Wanxia had drawn.

    It was only when a marketing ount followed the term Yuan Wanxia and found the long article that Qian Yan had posted and reposted it that things became moreplicated.

    From this article, it mentioned that Yuan Wanxia, the painter, had first appeared in everyone¡¯s eyes. It had only been a month or so.

    The first peach blossom painting was sold for 200,000 dors. The second time it appeared, it was sold for 1,000,000 dors.

    On the other hand, the third appearance, which was also this time¡¯s ¡°The Map of Central Pine Fisheries¡±, had actually soared to 10 million.

    Combining the contents of Qian Yan¡¯s article, Yuan Wanxia was simply like the biggest ssic in Qian Yan¡¯s article. She had all the conditions to be criticized.

    [ Eat melon. I always thought that the world of painting and calligraphy was more aloof and arrogant. I didn¡¯t expect there to be so many dirty things. ]

    [ This jump is too fast. The first time, it was 200,000. The second time, it was 1,000,000. The third time, it was 10,000,000. Amazing. I thought that only the entertainment industry had data faking. I didn¡¯t expect that there was even such a thing in the painting and calligraphy world. ]

    [ I want to know what kind of painting can be sold for ten million dors? Is it a real buyer? Or is it fake data? ]

    [ I don¡¯t believe that someone really spent so much money to buy a painting drawn by an unknown person. Even the paintings of Master Su Qian at the auction back then weren¡¯t sold at such an expensive price. ]

    Seeing that Qian Yan, who was certified as a famous painter on Weibo, had criticized such data for faking, and that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s data was indeed strange, theizens all supported Qian Yan on Weibo.

    The world of painting and calligraphy was a very pure world in people¡¯s hearts. Qian Yan¡¯s articles had made them realize that they could be yed like this. Wasn¡¯t this a huge blow to a painter who had real talent and ability? Hence, everyone spontaneously took action and kept reposting Qian Yan¡¯s article, sharing it to 100,000 times.

    Just as everyone was cursing and guessing at this unknown Yuan Wanxia, an extremely important official Weibo post published a post.

 Chapter 184 - Yuan Wanxia becomes Famous

    <h4>Chapter 184: Yuan Wanxia bes Famous</h4>

    Initially, ordinary people did not pay much attention to the world of painting and calligraphy. In the world of antiques, one was too professional to understand, and the other was not connected to the lives of ordinary people.

    However, in the past few years, there was a treasure identification program on national television called ¡°Treasure¡± that was very popr.

    The program had invited many famous masters in the industry to oversee it. Then, it would widely collect valuable collections from all over the country and let the masters discuss and bid.

    Due to the fact that these collections that were sent up might be counterfeits or valuable treasures that had been buried among themoners, they were still very attractive to the audience. In order to be fair, the production team had chosen people of great status in the industry.

    Hence, manyizens were more familiar with the judges.

    One of the judges was the president of the Chinese Painter Association, Li Qian.

    Master Li Qian was famous both in China and internationally. He did not have the airs of a master but was very close to the public. In order tomunicate with the public more, Master Li Qian specially opened Weibo.

    Master Li Qian often shared some good paintings that he had seen on Weibo recently. He would also randomly pick someizens to answer questions. Hence, in the hearts of everyone, he was a respected master. Everyone respected him very much.

    Today, as usual, everyone came to see what painting Master Li Qian had shared with everyone. They saw that a name had appeared on Master Li Qian¡¯s Weibo ount¡ªYuan Wanxia.

    @ Li Qian: ¡°I recently discovered a pearl that has been buried in the calligraphy and painting world for a long time¡ªYuan Wanxia. I can only use a few words to describe his painting. It¡¯s vivid, natural, and priceless.¡±

    There were two paintings apanying the photos. One of them was the ¡°Peach Blossom Painting¡± that Professor Zhang had brought to the Painter Association at the beginning, and the other was ¡°The Map of Central Pine Fisheries¡± that had appeared at the auction yesterday.

    Li Qian was already a big shot in the world of painting and calligraphy. No one had ever seen him praise anyone so much, so they clicked on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting that he had posted.

    [ Um, although I don¡¯t know anything about paintings, this painting gives me a really different feeling. ]

    [ Me too. I just feel like there¡¯s her own unique aura inside. Is this called a distinctive personal style? ]

    [ I¡¯m a student of art. I just want to say F*ck. Yuan Wanxia¡¯s control of light and theyout of the images is too amazing. This is probably a height I can only look up to in my life. ]

    [ Wow, I¡¯m in the art collection. I was quite angry when I saw Qian Yan¡¯s long text just now. But now, although ten million is a little exaggerated, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting is really an independent system. If I were rich, I would be willing to spend ten million to buy the painting I like. ]

    [ I don¡¯t know anything about painting or calligraphy, but if I were to choose, I would definitely choose to buy this painting by Yuan Wanxia. When I see this painting, I feel as if I¡¯m in the world that the painter shows. It¡¯s too beautiful. ]

    Qian Yan had been looking at the reposts that were close to a hundred thousand times and was about to take the opportunity to promote his painting when Master Li Qian suddenly appeared.

    His reputation in the industry was worlds apart from Master Li Qian¡¯s. In addition, Li Qian had released Yuan Wanxia¡¯s works.

    Although theizens did not know much about painting and calligraphy, they had the most basic ability to sense beauty. Hence, the trend quickly changed. Everyone changed from supporting to mocking. Qian Yan could only delete the article that had strong usatory points.

    Qian Yan¡¯s farce and Master Li Qian¡¯s high praise greatly increased Yuan Wanxia¡¯s fame as a painter.

    In a single night, he had be a new and talented artist with an extremely high worth. Countless reporters and media wanted to get first-hand information about him, but they could not find a single trace of him on the Inte.

    He became popr very quickly and had a high worth. In addition, he was extremely mysterious. In an instant, posts about Yuan Wanxia spread across all the major forums and many people came because of his reputation.

    Although they did not know who Yuan Wanxia was, he had already relied on his excellent painting skills to miraculously be popr and had arge number of fans on various websites.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was also very surprised that her painting could be sold for 10 million. On the other hand, Professor Zhang felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting itself was extremely valuable. Perhaps a buyer liked this style and was very rich, so Xia Wanyuan did not need to worry too much.

    It was time to practice dancing again. When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the dance studio, she realized that there were two additional women in the dance studio today. One of them was a blonde foreigner.

    ¡°Hello, Madam. My name is Gina, and she¡¯s Tina. CEO Jun hired us to dance with Madam.¡±

    Ever since the previous argument, Jun Shiling had nevere to the dance studio again. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist pulling Xia Wanyuan away.

    However, since Xia Wanyuan wanted to do this well, he wouldn¡¯t continue to stop her. He even got Lin Jing to find two champions of the World Dance Competition to teach Xia Wanyuan.

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s efficiency in practicing was not bad, Gina and Tina were indeed professionals who had received a lot of guidance in modern scientific theory. They had given Xia Wanyuan a lot of guidance and advice.

    Furthermore, it was difficult for her to notice some of the actions she did when she practiced them herself. It was much better with someone guiding and supervising her.

    Even though they were already world-ss champions, Gina and Tina were still impressed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outstanding talent and tenacious determination. They immediately taught her even more, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s improvement became faster and faster.

    ¡°Tang Yin?!!¡± In the coffee shop, Chen Yun had arranged to have some work handover with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new manager.

    However, he would never have thought that it was actually Tang Yin.

    ¡°Brother Chen, long time no see.¡± Tang Yin stretched out her hand to Chen Yun, who shook it back.

    ¡°It has indeed been a long time.¡± Chen Yun looked at Tang Yin and was very emotional. Back then, the two of them were still in apetitive rtionship. He did not expect that after going around in circles, it would actually be a cooperative rtionship now. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Wanyuan would actually be able to find you. It looks like a new legend is about to emerge in the entertainment industry.¡±

    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re too kind. Let¡¯s talk about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work situation.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Aftermunicating with Chen Yun, Tang Yin felt that Xia Wanyuan was really a mystery. She was clearly a treasure, but in the end, she could mess up her reputation to this extent.

    ¡°Since the negative effects of the entertainment industry are deeply rooted in her, let¡¯s start with variety programs and change her image first.¡±

    ¡°I think so too.¡±

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin looked at each other and smiled. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personal ability, they believed that the springboard ¡°I¡¯m a big star¡± would be a great help in restoring her image.

 Chapter 185 - Bai Lians Call

    <h4>Chapter 185: Bai Lian¡¯s Call</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had finallypleted today¡¯s dance training. She felt as if all the joints in her body had been reconstructed, but after exercising, her entire body seemed to be much lighter.

    She had just taken a shower and changed when her phone rang.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone and nced at it. The words ¡°Bai Lian¡± on the screen attracted her attention.

    A cold glint shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She was the indirect instigator for the Xia family¡¯s bankruptcy.

    After Xia Wanyuan entered the entertainment industry, she had a very good ¡°best friend¡±, Bai Lian.

    Speaking of which, Bai Lian was considered a female celebrity between the B-list and A-list rankings. She also had a ce in the entertainment industry, but she was not as lucky as Xia Wanyuan who had a better family background.

    Initially, Bai Lian was only a background actress. However, she knew how to socialize and curry favor with the director. She had relied on many means to climb to her current position.

    Back then, it was Bai Lian who had tried her best to persuade Xia Wanyuan to invest in that sci-fi film with Xia Yuanqing. After the news of the Xia family¡¯s bankruptcy spread, Bai Lian seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and had never contacted Xia Wanyuan again.

    <i>This person actually called me again today?</i>

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button and her red lips parted slightly.

    ¡°Hello, Yuan Yuan, how are you? I¡¯ve been filming in the mountains recently and there¡¯s been no signal. I heard that something has happened to your family. Are you okay?¡± On the other end of the line, Bai Lian¡¯s tone was extremely concerned.

    ¡°I¡¯m bankrupt. Why? What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s somewhat cold tone, Bai Lian felt that something was wrong.

    ¡°We haven¡¯t gathered in a long time. Yuan Yuan, are you busy now? Let¡¯s gather. I brought you a lot of gifts from abroad.¡± Bai Lian deliberately ignored the alienation in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone.

    ¡°Location.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to see what this woman was up to.

    After Bai Jie reported the location, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Bai Jie was furious. ¡°If not for your face, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered with you.¡±

    Bai Lian had always been in an awkward position from the B-list to the A-list. Now, there was an important film and television drama that was in the midst of preparation. If she could get this lead role, then her promotion to the A-list would be guaranteed.

    However, the problem was that she did not have the confidence to get this role. Her manager had heard from many sources that the core person in the investor¡¯s banquet tonight was someone who loved beauty very much.

    Hence, she and her manager prepared to suit his liking. Bai Lian was also beautiful, but in terms of beauty, she was not half as beautiful as Xia Wanyuan. Her managermunicated with the higher-ups.

    There was news from the higher-ups that as long as the person Bai Lian found could serve the big investor well, the female lead role would definitely be given to Bai Lian.

    Hence, ever since the Xia family went bankrupt, Bai Lian, who had never called Xia Wanyuan again, called her for the first time. She was originally worried that Xia Wanyuan would note, but now it seemed that Xia Wanyuan was still as stupid as ever.

    Xia Wanyuan checked the restaurant Bai Lian had mentioned. Thest time she went to the restaurant alone, Jun Shiling had gotten angry. This time, Xia Wanyuan was already on guard against Bai Lian, so she told Uncle Wang where she was going and told him to tell Jun Shiling when he returned.

    The tables at the dining table were filled with drinks. The investors had set up all sorts of contracts between the sses, and the little celebrities beside them were all smiling.

    Bai Lian looked at the door, anxiety shing across her eyes.?<i>Why isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan here yet? Did she go back on her word?</i>

 Chapter 186 - Kneeling to Toast

    <h4>Chapter 186: Kneeling to Toast</h4>

    Just as Bai Lian was looking at the door anxiously, the CEOs who were drinking, ying, and ying at the table became serious after receiving a call.

    ¡°CEO Xuan is in the room next door. Let¡¯s go over. Be smart.¡±

    Bai Lian thought that this CEO Xuan was probably a big investor.

    Following a few small investors, a group of people walked towards the room next door.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Xuan.¡± The few presidents in the lead bowed and nodded the moment they entered. Bai Lian also bowed.

    ¡°Have a seat.¡± To Bai Lian¡¯s surprise, the voice of this big investor, who was respectfully supported, was surprisingly very young.

    As everyone sat on the sofa, Bai Lian looked up. The man in the main seat was exceptionally handsome. A white shirt made him look charming.

    Xuan Sheng rubbed his eyebrows and felt that his heart was starting to stir again. He looked at the person in front of him more impatiently. ¡°How is it?¡±

    CEO Li gestured for Bai Lian to sit beside Xuan Sheng. Bai Lian stood up and approached Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng, who was already feeling a little depressed, frowned when he smelled the strong fragrance of Bai Lian¡¯s perfume.

    ¡°Don¡¯te over.¡±

    Bai Lian could only retreat in shame and anger.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, take a look at this project. It¡¯s newly developed by us.¡± CEO Li nced at Bai Lian and handed the project proposal to Xuan Sheng.

    Bai Lian stepped aside and sent Xia Wanyuan a message.

    ¡°I¡¯m at the door.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reply, Bai Lian finally rxed and nodded at CEO Li.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, look at this proposal first. There¡¯s someoneing over. You must have fun before leaving today.¡±

    Xuan Sheng had stopped taking his medicine frequently these few days. He did not bring it with him when he went out this morning. Now, his hand that was holding the project proposal tightened slightly. He felt that the agitation in his heart was constantly looking for a breakthrough and wanted to break out of his body.

    Xuan Sheng nced at the n and pursed his lips. ¡°Is that all?¡± He stood up and wanted to leave.

    CEO Li¡¯s expression changed and he hurriedly pulled Xuan Sheng back. However, before his hand could touch Xuan Sheng, he was frightened by his cold gaze. He hurriedly retracted his hand. ¡°CEO Xuan, what are you dissatisfied with? Let¡¯s discuss again.¡±

    ¡°What is there to discuss about for this trash?¡± Xuan Sheng raised his leg to leave, but CEO Li did not dare to stop him.

    At that moment, the door was pushed open.

    Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that Bai Lian was the only one who had invited her. She didn¡¯t expect there to be so many people. From the looks of it, they probably wanted her to apany the capitalist like Supervisor Jin was ying games.

    However, she did not expect to meet someone familiar.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xuan Sheng, then at the room filled with celebrities and young models. Her eyebrows raised slightly.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re here. Quick,e in and introduce everyone. This is my best friend, Xia Wanyuan.¡± Bai Lian walked to the door and wanted to hold Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan pushed her hand away and walked in.

    ¡°Miss Xia is so beautiful.¡± Seeing that Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan without blinking, CEO Li stopped in his tracks. He thought that there was a chance. ¡°CEO Xuan, let¡¯s give Beauty Xia face and stay for a while before leaving.¡±

    Xuan Sheng sat back on the sofa.

    ¡°Come, Miss Xia, sit here.¡± CEO Li pointed at the seat beside Xuan Sheng, but Xia Wanyuan ignored him and sat on the sofa.

    ¡°Here, Miss Xia, have a drink.¡± CEO Li poured a ss of wine and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the person who invited me pour me wine?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was cold, and she didn¡¯t even look at CEO Li.

    ¡°Come, Bai Lian,e here. Pour Miss Xia a ss of wine.¡± CEO Li waved. Bai Lian gritted her teeth and forced a smile. She poured a ss of wine and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I wonder if CEO Li has heard some rumors about me?¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t ept the wine ss. Instead, she got Bai Lian to hold the wine ss while she spoke to CEO Li.

    ¡°What rumor?¡± CEO Li was a little confused.

    ¡°I¡¯m especially arrogant and have a bad temper.¡± Xia Wanyuan scolded herself word by word, causing everyone to be confused. ¡°Especially because I have a bad habit of liking others to kneel and give me a toast.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± When Xia Wanyuan said this, Bai Lian¡¯s eyes burned with anger.

    ¡°I think Miss Xia¡¯s habit is quite good.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled when he heard that.?<i>This Xia Wanyuan really did not suffer any loss. Bai Lian had set her up, but she made her kneel and propose a toast.</i>

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Seeing that Xuan Sheng had said so, CEO Li followed suit and gave Bai Lian a threatening look.

    There was nothing Bai Lian could do. She was still counting on CEO Li to give her resources, so she could only endure the humiliation and kneel in front of Xia Wanyuan. She handed the wine ss to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Please.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Bai Lian with cold eyes. This Bai Lian had deceived the original owner of the body and caused the Xia family to go bankrupt. Now, she was using her as a friend to exchange for benefits.

    If this person was in the Xia Dynasty, she would have probably been beheaded countless times.

    Xia Wanyuan took the cup from Bai Lian. Just as Bai Lian was about to stand up, she sshed the entire cup of wine on her face.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, you!¡± Bai Lian felt her eyes burn. She was in a sorry state. She immediately reached out to p Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan grabbed her wrist.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be so lucky the next time you plot against me.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned closer to Bai Lian and whispered to her. The coldness in her tone made Bai Lian¡¯s heart tremble.

    After speaking, Xia Wanyuan shook off Bai Lian¡¯s hand. Bai Lian lost her bnce and fell to the ground. No one around dared to help her.

    Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. This person looked so beautiful, but they did not expect her to be so ruthless.

    Amongst the people present, only Xuan Sheng couldugh.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting calmly as if nothing could affect her, Xuan Sheng rubbed his ear studs and the corners of his lips curled up.?<i>This woman, Xia Wanyuan, was god damn my cup of tea.</i>

    ¡°Alright, all of you can leave. Miss Xia and I have something to talk about.¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly spoke.

    ¡°Then what do you think of this project proposal?¡±

    ¡°Leave it here. I¡¯ll consider it.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then please go ahead.¡± CEO Li was happy that his goal had been achieved. He hurriedly led his people away. No one came forward to help Bai Lian up, so he could only struggle to get up from the ground.

    She looked at Xia Wanyuan with jealousy and anger before leaving the room.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng poured a ss of water for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I really didn¡¯t know about what happened today.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell.

    Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite side profile and his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to say something, he felt his mind suddenly turn chaotic and pain surged up like needles.

 Chapter 187 - Xuan Shengs Illness Acts Up

    <h4>Chapter 187: Xuan Sheng¡¯s Illness Acts Up</h4>

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand that was holding the wine ss swayed and he spilled a little wine.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up in surprise. She saw that Xuan Sheng seemed to be in great pain. His eyes were closed and his brows were tightly furrowed.

    ¡°Leave first, Miss Xia. Let¡¯s talk again in the future.¡± Xuan Sheng retracted his hand that was holding the wine ss and forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart. His nails pressed into his flesh, using this to gain some rity of mind.

    Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan stood up and left. Before leaving, she nced at Xuan Sheng and closed the door for him.

    Only when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure disappeared from the door did Xuan Sheng finally lose control. He threw the wine ss in his hand onto the ground and called his assistant. ¡°Bring the medicine and pick me up.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. He felt that insults were surging towards him.

    ¡°You bastard!¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you die!¡±

    ¡°Get lost, you piece of trash.¡±

    The woman he trusted the most treated him as her greatest enemy and wished he could disappear from this world immediately.

    The despair of being found and beaten up while hiding in the cupboard, the pain of being beaten and scolded as if he was a tool to vent her anger, were like a maggot attached to his bones, slowly evoking the mania in his heart.

    Xuan Sheng kicked the table in front of him away. Even when he bled, he did not feel anything.

    When Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door, she saw Xuan Sheng mming his arm against the wall. There were traces of blood on his clothes.

    The entire room was in a mess. Everything was spilled on the ground, and even the tables and chairs were in a mess.

    At this moment, Xuan Sheng¡¯s mind was not clear enough. Sensing that someone had entered, Xuan Sheng subconsciously scolded, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked in step by step. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was like a fuse, reminding Xuan Sheng of the fear that had been dominated by this sound over the years. The agitation in his heart spread further.

    ]¡±I told you to leave. Don¡¯t you understand?!¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly turned his head and kicked the chair in front of him away. He clenched his fists and punched the wall, leaving a bloody mark.

    The sound of high heels was still approaching. Xuan Sheng subconsciously had the urge to beat someone up. A trace of hostility shed across his eyes. Who would have thought that just as he raised his hand, he would be knocked unconscious by the person in front of him?

    After a long time, the chaotic pain in his mind seemed to have dissipated a little. He felt a chill on his face. Xuan Sheng opened his eyes. A cup of cold water had been sshed on his face.

    Xuan Sheng looked up and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cool eyes.

    ¡­¡­.

    Cold water dripped into his eyes through his hair. It was extremely ufortable. Xuan Sheng wanted to wipe his eyes, but he realized that his hands were tied behind him.

    ¡°Miss Xia?¡± Xuan Sheng could not break free. He simply leaned on the sofa and looked at Xia Wanyuan with bloodshot eyes.

    ¡°Have you calmed down?¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her cup and asked.

    Only then did Xuan Sheng remember that his bipr disorder had acted up again. Looking at the mess and his sorry state, Xuan Sheng clenched his fists and did not speak.

    The room fell silent. After a while, Xuan Sheng suddenly said, ¡°Am I a pretty scary person?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned to nce at Xuan Sheng. At this moment, Xuan Sheng was in a very sorry state.

    His expensive clothes were wrinkled and stained with alcohol. The walls were gray and the wounds on his body were still bleeding. His hair was messy and he had his head lowered slightly. His peach blossom-shaped eyes, which always had a teasing look, had lost their color.

    ¡°You are an unfortunate person.¡±

 Chapter 188 - Thank You

    <h4>Chapter 188: Thank You</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xuan Sheng suddenly raised his head. His originally gloomy eyes lit up.

    He didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to say that.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you must be joking. I¡¯m the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. I can call the wind and summon the rain. Where did this misfortunee from?¡±

    The light in his eyes onlysted for a moment. Soon, Xuan Sheng was like before. He had a cynical smile on his face and his amorous peach blossom eyes curved up again.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xuan Sheng. After she had knocked Xuan Sheng unconscious just now, Xuan Sheng had been unconsciously saying some words. From the stuttering, she could roughly guess what Xuan Sheng had encountered when he was young.

    ¡°I hope you can walk out of this,¡± Xia Wanyuan did not answer Xuan Sheng¡¯s question but said seriously.

    Xuan Sheng, who had been smiling, felt that his lips weighed a thousand pounds. He could not pretend anymore. ¡°I frightened you just now. right?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not a canary. You didn¡¯t frighten me.¡± Xia Wanyuan used Xuan Sheng¡¯s words to stump him.

    ¡°Haha, indeed.¡± Seeing that there was indeed no fear or disdain in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Xuan Shengughed loudly. This time, his peach blossom-shaped eyes were really filled with a sparkling smile.

    ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ve brought the medicine over.¡±

    The assistant pushed open the door with his pocket and saw that the room was in a mess. Beside Xia Wanyuan on the sofa, his Young Master Xuan was smiling especially happily while tied up.

    <i>My world is confused.?</i>

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll get going first.¡± Seeing Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant walk over, Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked to the door.

    ¡°Miss Xia,¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly called out from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Xuan Sheng stopped smiling and said sternly to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked out the door.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia has been gone for a long time.¡± The assistant was confused.?<i>Didn¡¯t my young master hate Xia Wanyuan a while ago? Why was he interested in her again recently?</i>

    Xuan Sheng moved his hand that had been tied up for a long time.

    ¡°Young Master, I brought the medicine over. Drink some.¡± The assistant ced the medicine in front of Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°I¡¯m not drinking anymore. Let¡¯s go back to thepany.¡± Xuan Sheng brushed away the medicine and strode out the door. His assistant looked at Xuan Sheng¡¯s back and inexplicably felt that Xuan Sheng seemed to be more open-minded.

    Jun Shiling returned home after work. When he heard Uncle Wang¡¯s words, he was about to go out and look for Xia Wanyuan when he saw her enter.

    When she was still far away, Jun Shiling could smell the faint smell of alcohol on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You drank?¡± Jun Shiling frowned.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and sniffed. ¡°Maybe I just got some alcohol smell.¡±

    Jun Shiling wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan what she was doing outside, but on second thought, he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would think that he was interfering too much, so he stopped.

    ¡°I went to see an old friend today. Back then, she tried her best to persuade the Xia family to invest in that shellpany, causing them to lose nothing,¡± Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to say.

    ¡°Mm, you didn¡¯t lose out, did you?¡±

    ¡°What do you think?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling smiled.?<i>I was too worried.</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve been back to grandfather¡¯s. Let¡¯s go back tomorrow.¡± Although Xiao Bao usually returned to the old master¡¯s ce every week, it had been almost a month since he had seen Jun Shiling, and the old master missed his grandson a little.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan readily agreed.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Hey, I understand, Grandpa. I¡¯ll apany you tomorrow, okay? Hey, hey, hey, I still have something on. I¡¯m hanging up. See you tomorrow.¡±

    After dealing with the old master, Mu Feng stepped on the elerator and the silver sports car flew out.

 Chapter 189 - Gathering

    <h4>Chapter 189: Gathering</h4>

    ¡°Brother Mu, it¡¯s not like you today. Why are you leaving so early?¡±

    Seeing that Mu Feng was about to go back after drinking a few sses, everyone was surprised. This did not seem to be Mu Feng¡¯s style. This master had always stayed in nightclubs and could party for the entire night.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going out with the old master at home tomorrow. We can¡¯t y for too long.¡± Mu Feng picked up his wine ss and gulped down half of the wine before waving at everyone.

    How could it be so easy to change his daily schedule? Mu Feng only fell asleep in the middle of the night after tossing and turning at home. The next morning, he followed Old Master Jun to the Jun family with a pair of sleepy eyes.

    ¡°Hello, Grandpa Jun.¡±

    They had already gotten into the car in the morning. When the old master saw Mu Feng¡¯s clothes with the skull printed on it, he exploded. He immediately chased Mu Feng back and changed his clothes. Now, Mu Feng was wearing a white T-shirt and looked a little handsome.

    If one ignored his silver hair.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Xiao Feng in a long time. He¡¯s already grown up.¡± Old Master Jun didn¡¯t think that Mu Feng¡¯s hair was strange. Anyway, young people nowadays were particr about being innovative.

    ¡°Great-grandfather.¡±

    Mu Feng was about to reply when a child¡¯s voice came from the door. Xiao Bao rushed in and climbed onto the old master¡¯sp.

    ¡°Aiyo, my good baby, I missed you so much.¡± Old Master Jun picked Xiao Bao up. ¡°Call Great-grandfather Mu, Uncle Mu.¡±

    ¡°Great-grandfather Mu, Uncle Mu,¡± Xiao Bao called out obediently, then looked curiously at Mu Feng¡¯s long silver hair. ¡°Uncle, your hair is so beautiful. Can I touch it?¡±

    Mu Feng looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s cute appearance and smiled. He pushed his long hair in front of him and handed it to Xiao Bao, who touched it carefully.

    ¡°Jun Yin, stop fooling around.¡± When Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan entered, they saw Xiao Bao pulling Mu Feng¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa Mu.¡± Jun Shiling walked over and bowed. Xia Wanyuan followed him to greet the two elders.

    ¡°Come, let me introduce you. This is your Grandpa Mu¡¯s precious grandson, Mu Feng.¡±

    This made Old Master Mu furious. ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s not my precious grandson. He makes me worry all the time.¡±

    At that moment, the way Mu Feng looked at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan was a little strange.

    He had never expected that Jun Shiling actually had a wife, and his wife was an unknown little celebrity in the entertainment industry. This was quite interesting.

    The two elders carried Xiao Bao into the house to y, leaving the young people outside.

    ¡°Thank you forst time.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Mu Feng. She had only heard Chen Yun mention Mu Feng¡¯s nameter on, and only then did she know that Mu Feng was so difficult to invite.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. Master Jun has already spoken, so I shouldn¡¯t be so shameless as to not give him face.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling in surprise. Seeing that Jun Shiling did not deny it, she realized that Mu Feng had been invited by Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Then do you mind giving me more face?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Mu Feng and said.

    ¡°Master Jun, I¡¯m a man. Aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Mu Feng smiled, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, looking a little bewitching.

    ¡°I¡¯m not worried. Do you want to ept it?¡± Jun Shiling did not answer Mu Feng¡¯s question but looked straight into his eyes and asked again.

    Mu Feng nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting calmly beside Jun Shiling, and nodded. ¡°The price I want is not low.¡±

    After receiving Mu Feng¡¯s affirmative answer, Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What do you think of this stylist?¡±

    ¡°Perfect.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed with Mu Feng¡¯s aesthetic standards. Now that she understood what Jun Shiling meant with those questions, she smiled gratefully at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Happy cooperation.¡± Xia Wanyuan extended her hand to Mu Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s have a pleasant cooperation.¡± Mu Feng shook his hand back and retracted it without any charm.

    After dinner at Old Master¡¯s ce, everyone left the courtyard and returned to the car in the manor. Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and realized that Jun Shiling had already paved the way for her.

    The best manager, the best dance team, and the best stylist.

    After some thought, Jun Shiling had really helped her a lot. ¡°Do you have anything you want?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling, who was reading documents, and suddenly asked.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling looked up, not knowing why Xia Wanyuan had suddenly asked this question.

    ¡°You¡¯ve helped me so much. I don¡¯t know what I can do to repay you.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. Do your job well and that will be my repayment.¡± Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan.?<i>Besides, I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t afford to pay me back with what I want.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and did not probe further. After returning to the manor, Xia Wanyuan secretly went to ask Uncle Wang about Jun Shiling. Uncle Wang saw that Xia Wanyuan had begun to care about Jun Shiling.

    At that moment, he happily used two whole stacks of A4 paper to sort out Jun Shiling¡¯s birth characters, down to all sorts of fine habits. They were even more detailed than the thesis, and then he handed them to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    As summer approached, the publicity for the drama also entered the final stage. Various publicity manuscripts, publicity videos, and publicity posters for the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had already begun to circte.

    Xia Wanyuan had been very busy these few days. During the day, she had to busy herself with filming publicity posters with the production team. Furthermore, the day of filming ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± was getting closer. When Xia Wanyuan returned home at night, she still had to take time to practice dance.

    Jun Shiling watched from the side as Xia Wanyuan worked so hard that she had lost weight. Although he did not say anything, he had to get the kitchen to cook delicious food for her every day. Every day after work, he would search for delicious food on the way home.

    ¡°Xiao Li,e and take a look. This strawberry mousse looks so delicious.¡± Xiao Hua, who was looking at the new cake at the cake shop by the ss window, could not help but wave at her friend.

    ¡°This is too sweet. It¡¯s not delicious. I tried it yesterday. Let me tell you, the ck Forest is still the best.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    The two of them were about to discuss what was the most delicious when they felt that something was wrong.?<i>Isn¡¯t the cake shop too quiet?</i>

    ¡°Excuse me, do you have any good cake rmendations?¡±

    The two of them had just raised their heads when they saw a handsome man who was like a god walking towards them with a fierce aura.

    ¡°Ah.¡± Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment. Then, she subconsciously pointed at the red velvet cake not far away. ¡°That¡¯s quite delicious. My friend and I will buy it every time wee.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± The imposing man nodded and walked to a ss cab not far away. He took out a cake and handed it to the petrified cashier.

    After this person left, everyone slowly reacted.

    ¡°Why do I feel that this person looks a little familiar?¡± Xiao Hua ced the selected cake on the counter and searched her brain.

    ¡°The gentleman has paid for your bill. You can take it away directly.¡± The cashier was also confused. The man threw down three notes and left. He said that he would pay for these two and the rest would be her tip.

    Xiao Li and Xiao Hua happily walked out of the cake shop with the cake.

    ¡°Ah!!!!! I remember who he is!!!!¡± Xiao Hua suddenly screamed.

 Chapter 190 - The Sensation Cake Caused

    <h4>Chapter 190: The Sensation Cake Caused</h4>

    Her friend was shocked. ¡°What are you doing? Why are you making a fuss?¡±

    ¡°Quick, quick, quick. Help me hold the cake.¡± Xiao Hua ced the cake box in her friend¡¯s hand, then took out her phone and searched for Jun Shiling¡¯s photo.

    ¡°Ahhhhh!! Look! That person just now is the richest man in China! Jun Shiling!¡±

    ¡°F*ck, even the richest person woulde and buy things himself?! And it¡¯s even a cake?! The world is magical.¡±

    Meeting Jun Shiling was something that would probably never happen again in their lives. It was too magical. The two of them immediately posted this on their Moments and in all their space.

    Furthermore, they had informed their ssmates and friends, including their rtives.

    On Weibo, Xiao Hua also updated a post. She, who had less than a hundred fans, might have broken through ten thousandments in less than a minute because Jun Shiling was included in the contents of her Weibo post.

    @ Flower Love Flower: ¡°Ahhhhhhh!!! Oh my god!!! I met Jun Shiling at the cake shop with my good friend today!!! He came to ask us what cake we rmended!! I rmended one, and he left after buying it. In order to thank us, he even paid for our cake!!! Oh my god!!! He¡¯s really too handsome! I dare say that I¡¯ve never seen such a good-looking man in my life!!¡±

    The attached picture was a photo with two cakes.

    [ Really??? Are you sure it¡¯s the real Jun Shiling? ]

    [ Why don¡¯t I believe it so much? Jun Shiling is busy every day. How can he have the time to buy the cake himself? Can¡¯t he just get his assistant to buy it? ]

    [ I don¡¯t believe it too. The blogger should take a photo of Jun Shiling at the scene. Who would dare to believe you? ]

    [ You can¡¯t be like this even if you want to gain attention. If you were anyone else, I would believe you. Why would a big shot like Jun Shiling need to buy things himself? And it¡¯s even a cake? ]

    Seeing that thements were filled with disbelief, although Xiao Hua was angry, she had no choice. At that time, she waspletely shocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s appearance and aura. Furthermore, she did not expect that this person was Jun Shiling at first and did not have the time to take a photo.

    By the time she reacted, Jun Shiling had already disappeared.

    Thements were filled with doubts, and there were even some people who scolded her for being shameless to gain attention. She was so angry that she closed her Weibo and did not look at these annoying things.

    It was only when she swallowed all the cake that Jun Shiling had paid for that Xiao Hua¡¯s anger subsided.?<i>Hmph, I can eat the cake that the richest person bought for me, but they can¡¯t. It¡¯s bnced.</i>

    When she could not help but go on Weibo again, she realized that the screen was filled with 999+messages. She was so frightened that she thought that she had been attacked by the Inte. She clicked on it fearfully and realized that the screen was filled with wails and sour lemons.

    At that time, there were some passers-by outside the cake shop, some of whom recognized Jun Shiling. They took photos of Jun Shiling entering the cake shop and posted them online.

    As more and more people read it, Xiao Hua¡¯s Weibo post was also found. Now that there was solid evidence, everyone believed her post.

    [ Let¡¯s sit on the tall lemon tree and watch her eat the cake bought by the richest person ~ ]

    [ Lemon jpg, Lemon ipg, Lemon jpg. blogger, can you return the cake my husband bought? I¡¯ll pay for it. ]

    [ People like you don¡¯t even pay attention to the important things. Jun Shiling¡¯s Baidu Encyclopedia clearly says that he never eats sweet things. Didn¡¯t you think about who this busy person went to personally buy a cake for? ]

    [ F*ck!!! You analyzed it so logically, the one in front. I¡¯m even more jealous. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. Other than his mysterious little wife, there¡¯s probably no one else. ]

    [ I just want to be the stepmother of Jun Shiling¡¯s child! Can¡¯t you even satisfy such a small request of mine? Boohoo, why does she have a cute son and her husband, the richest man, bought the cake for her himself? Oh my god, I¡¯m so sour. ]

    [ I just want to show you the photos of Jun Shiling taken by passers-by. The photos are jpg. This long leg that overflows the screen. Just the side of it makes me feel like my leg was broken by him. I really want to know how the blogger managed to remain calm under Jun Shiling¡¯s aura and point out which cake is delicious. ]

    [ I¡¯ve had enough lemon. I just want to know which cake the blogger rmended for Jun Shiling. I want to buy it and eat it too. I¡¯m Madam Jun now. ]

    Xiao Hua replied to thisment. ¡°I rmended red velvet to him.¡±

    Hence, in Beijing that day, all the red velvet in the cake shops in the city were snatched away, especially the one Jun Shiling had gone to.

    The shop owner had a nimble mind for business. He immediately got someone to make a small hanging card and ced it on the red velvet cake in the shop. On it was written, ¡°The same model as Madam Jun Shiling.¡±

    Since then, the sales of this cake had at least doubled.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was unaware of all this. At that moment, she was eating the red velvet that Jun Shiling had bought. Xiao Bao was massaging her back with his little fists.

    ¡°Mommy, is it strong enough?¡± Xiao Bao asked as he massaged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back.

    ¡°Mm, it can be a little stronger.¡± Xia Wanyuan swallowed a mouthful of cake.?<i>It tasted really good.</i>

    ¡°How about this?¡±

    ¡°It can be a little stronger¡± Xia Wanyuan danced for a long time and felt a little sore. ¡°Okay, this is enough. Good boy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes in satisfaction as she feltfortable being punched on the back.

    ¡°Mommy, I want to eat it too. Can you give me a bite?¡± Xiao Bao looked at the cake in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand eagerly, his saliva almost flowing out.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and saw Xiao Bao lying in her arms.?<i>Who had massaged my back just now?</i>

    She turned around and saw Jun Shiling standing behind her.

    ¡°Mommy, can you give me a bite?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling interrupted Xiao Bao¡¯s attempt. ¡°Thest time, Shen Xiu said that you¡¯re not allowed to eat sweet things anymore. Have you forgotten?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, bad Daddy. You only buy cake for Mommy every time. I don¡¯t like you anymore.¡± Although Xiao Bao knew that what Jun Shiling said made sense, he still pouted pitifully.

    <i>That was a cake!! A sweet cake with cream and fruits. Ah, I really want it.</i>

    Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s aggrieved expression, Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°When I have time, I¡¯ll make you a sugarless cake so that you can eat it.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Mommy, you¡¯re the best!¡± Xiao Bao was ted.

    Jun Shiling massaged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders from behind as he nced at Xiao Bao coldly. Xiao Bao stuck out his tongue at Jun Shiling, and before Jun Shiling could react, he buried himself in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    The initial publicity and promotions had gradually arrived, but the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had never announced when the drama would premiere.

    While everyone was waiting anxiously, on a Saturday morning in early summer, the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± suddenly went online.

 Chapter 191 - The Broadcast of "The Long Ballad"

    <h4>Chapter 191: The Broadcast of ¡°The Long Bad¡±</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    It was the weekend. Everyone woke upzily in the afternoon and took their phones to see if there was any gossip they could gossip about today. In the end, they saw a message sent by the video website.

    ¡°¡®The Long Bad¡¯, a huge martial arts novel in the country, has been released. Come and explore Young Master Fu Yi¡¯s chivalrous life together!¡±

    Everyone suddenly woke up from their daze. This drama had been going on for so long, and it was finally released. Many fans clicked on the drama with some trepidation.

    After the buffering, with the melodious sound of the flute, a painting of mountains and rivers that was inky ink gradually appeared in front of everyone.

    In the ink-ck mountains, a small boat slowly sailed over. At the bow of the boat stood a tall and elegant young master with a long sword on his back.

    A white heron flew down from the mountaintop and created a ripple on the water surface. As the ripple spread, the mountains began to turn green, the small boat began to turn gray, and the character gradually became lively from the ink painting.

    Just from the beginning, everyone felt that the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± had still put in a lot of effort. They used ink as a medium and created the unrestrained charm of the martial arts world. Furthermore, although the Mo Feng Music Studio had declined in the past few years, its foundation was still there. The music it yed matched the mood.

    The beginning of the drama was like many martial arts novels. On a night where the night was dark and the wind was strong, thunder and rain fell, the male lead¡¯s family was destroyed. The loyal servants risked their lives to send the male lead to Cangyuan Mountain.

    Then, the dark camera disappeared, and the scene suddenly became bright. The camera gave Cangyuan Mountain a distant view, and the words ¡°Eighteen Years Later¡± appeared on the screen.

    The camera zoomed past the forest, and the audience felt as if they were in a mountain range. Gradually, the sound of flowing water came from beside their ears. The camera followed the sound of flowing water and a kite appeared in their view.

    Thinking of the publicity film that the production team had posted, everyone knew that a man and a woman were about to appear.

    As expected, as the camera zoomed in, a woman¡¯s bell-likeughter came from the corner of the mountain. Tian Ying Er, who was dressed in green, appeared in the camera first.

    ¡°Senior Brother, run faster and raise it a little higher.¡± Tian Ying Er smiled as she turned around to speak to Lin Xiao, who was addressed as Senior Brother.

    The camera zoomed in again, and the male lead, Lin Xiao, officially appeared. He was dressed in in clothes, but one could still see how handsome and confident he was. Lin Xiao looked at his little sister dotingly, his eyes filled with the innocence of a young man.

    About a minuteter, more people entered and thements started to get lively.

    [ Why didn¡¯t you post thements? I thought there was a problem with my software. ]

    [ This opening is pretty good. Up until now, the scene special effects are still pretty good. ]

    [ Little Junior Sister is so cute. I love her. She¡¯s so beautiful. This is the Little Junior Sister in my heart! ]

    [ She¡¯s probably average. I can only say that she didn¡¯t fail. My little junior sister isn¡¯t so dull in my heart. ]

    [ The person in front, if you¡¯re so good, you should do it. ]

    The drama had not been broadcast for three minutes when thements began to argue again.

    The first two episodes of the drama usually exined the background of the story. The first episode of ¡°The Long Bad¡± mainly allowed the main characters, Lin Xiao, and the female lead, Tian Ying Er, to appear on the scene to show their childhood sweethearts.

    By the second episode, the background of the era had begun to unfold. Someone from the Imperial Court came to Cangyuan Mountain and asked to send a person with excellent martial arts to help the Imperial Court escort an important item.

    Lin Xiao, who had never seen the outside world, wanted to visit the outside world, so he volunteered to follow the people from the imperial court to Beijing.

 Chapter 192 - The Princess Veil falls

    <h4>Chapter 192: The Princess¡¯ Veil falls</h4>

    [ Is my goddess, the Heavenly Spirit Princess, about to appear? ]

    [ The male lead is about to discover his identity. ]

    [ Little Junior Sister¡¯s appearance isn¡¯t too good. I think she¡¯s alright looking at the publicity posters. Why did she be a little ugly in the television drama? Could the Heavenly Spirit Princess also be fake? ]

    [ The person in front, if you¡¯re so good, you should do it. Why are youparing here? If Little Junior Sister doesn¡¯t act well, go and act yourself. ]

    [ I don¡¯t think air conditioning is good enough for cold treatment, so I have to start with air conditioning?? Little Junior Sister is ugly, Little Junior Sister is ugly. I told you,e and hit me. ]

    Thements were still noisy. In the drama, Lin Xiao entered the escort team of the Imperial Court.

    Lin Xiao, who had grown up on Cangyuan Mountain, was very interested in everything in Beijing.

    Coincidentally, he happened to bump into the annual Lantern Festival in Beijing, so Lin Xiao went to join in the fun. The streets were filled with people, and all kinds of shops and vendors were peddling their goods.

    Lin Xiao watched as he walked. Thinking of how his little junior sister pouted unhappily before he left, Lin Xiao smiled dotingly. He found a jewelry shop and bought a hairpin for his little junior sister with the money he earned from his part-time job.

    Although the streets were lively, there were too many people. After strolling for a while, Lin Xiao found arge tree andy down on a tree. Not only could he see the bustling city of lights, but he could also see a rtively peaceful world. Lin Xiaoy on it leisurely and hummed a song.

    The camera gradually left Lin Xiao and gave the light market a long mirror. The lights were woven and warm.

    [ Stop arguing, stop arguing. From the looks of it, Xia Wanyuan is probably going to appear soon. ]

    [ Wow, our Yuan Yuan is going to appear! ]

    [ The Heavenly Spirit Princess is my goddess. Don¡¯t destroy my goddess, I¡¯m begging you. ]

    A melodious music sounded and a slender purple figure appeared in the camera.

    As if understanding the audience¡¯s thoughts, the camera zoomed in and described the purple-dressed woman¡¯s stunning beauty inch by inch.

    Her dress had many folds, and her long ck hair was tied up by her light silver hair. A silver butterfly hairpin was inserted into her hair.

    Her face was covered by a veil, but her eyes that were exposed seemed to contain a pool of spring water that was moving.

    [ F*ck, are these eyshes serious? ]

    [ Ahhh, Yuan Yuan¡¯s eyshes have hooked into my heart! ]

    [ Let¡¯s talk about it. With this appearance, she really looks good. I wonder how it will be if she takes off her veil. If there¡¯s no other choice, let Xia Wanyuan wear this veil and finish the rest of the drama. ]

    The Heavenly Spirit Princess had snuck out this time. The pampered little princess had never seen so many delicious and fun things in the pce.

    Although her expression could not be seen, the little princess looked at the bun that had just been cooked. Her bright and straight eyes made the audience¡¯s appetite increase.

    Looking at the small jewelry in the stall, her sparkling eyes made people wonder how precious it was.

    The little princess looked around as she walked. Her beautiful eyes were indescribably lively and charming.

    While the little princess was watching the performance, the thief secretly took her wallet.

    ¡°Return my wallet!¡± The little princess chased after the thief. Just as she was about to lose him, someone suddenly fell from the tree in front of her. He subdued the thief in a few moves and snatched the wallet back.

    ¡°Miss, here.¡± Lin Xiao¡¯s eyes were bright and his handsome face made the little princess in the pce blush.

    Her watery eyes were filled with obvious shyness and joy.

    A gust of wind blew and the veil fell.

    Lin Xiao froze.

    Thements on the entire video website froze.

 Chapter 193 - Peerless Beauty!!!

    <h4>Chapter 193: Peerless Beauty!!!</h4>

    The persona of the Heavenly Spirit Princess was known as the most beautiful woman in the world since she was young.

    Otherwise, in theter scenes, the Heavenly Spirit Princess wouldn¡¯t have controlled the military general single-handedly because of her beauty. In the end, because of her breathtaking appearance, the new emperor had taken a fancy to her. In the past, the new emperor had forced her into the pce as a beloved concubine because she had the body of a princess.

    At that moment, the Heavenly Spirit Princess in front of the camera hadpletely let everyone understand what it meant to be the ¡°peerless beauty¡± in the world.

    Her shapely eyebrows made her skin look fair and smooth. The light red lipstick on her lips made her look beautiful.

    Under the light, the little princess covered her veil shyly with one hand and nervously held the edge of her dress with the other. She stood tall and straight like a jade lotus, just like the saying, ¡°You¡¯re not tainted by the mud, you¡¯re pure and innocent.¡±

    Her intelligent big eyes were as ck as ink crystals that had just been soaked. Starlight scattered everywhere.

    There was no need for any rouge or makeup. The blush on her cheeks was the best decoration for a young girl.

    [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

    [ F*ck, I was pouring water just now. The moment the veil fell, I didn¡¯t even hold the kettle properly. Water! Hot water! My feet are red from the heat! ]

    [ AHHHHH! This is the Heavenly Spirit Princess in my heart! Oh my god! She¡¯s too beautiful, too beautiful! I can¡¯t breathe anymore! Save me! ]

    [ I always thought that it was impossible to find a female celebrity in the entertainment industry to act as the peerless beauty in the novel. Now, I think I was wrong. F*ck, how does Xia Wanyuan grow!! How can she be so good-looking? F*ck. ]

    [ Let¡¯s not talk too much. This is my goddess. In the future, whoever defames her will first ask if Boss Wang of New Street agrees. ]

    [ Did she go for stic? ]

    [ The person in front, let¡¯s not talk about whether Xia Wanyuan has undergone stic surgery or not. I think your eyes look like they were made by a human. You must have spent a lot of money, right? What a pity. You¡¯ve be a blind person after stic surgery. With that lively expression and temperament, why don¡¯t you find a face for me to act in? ]

    When Xia Wanyuan¡¯s veil fell from the second episode, everyone¡¯s appetite was whetted. Just as they were about to continue watching, the ending song came out.

    While everyone was cursing in their hearts, ¡°The unscrupulous editing is my son¡±, they flooded to the Weibo ount of the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. ¡°Father, hurry up and update!¡±

    Back then, when the production team released the publicity film, it was only the fans of the novel who were amazed by Xia Wanyuan. Now that the drama was broadcast, within a day, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes were edited and spread across the Inte.

    The trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning beauty¡± directly rushed to the top of the trending topic.

    Under the deliberate provocation ofizens, the trending topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stic surgery¡± that had appeared a while ago was also pushed up.

    The first trending topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stic surgery¡± was a Weibo ount posted by a marketing ount named The Duck Prince. He had intercepted photos of Xia Wanyuan in past television dramas where some of her expressions were misced, making her look stiff and ugly.

    The Crown Princepared these photos with the photos posted in the Milky Way and concluded that Xia Wanyuan had undergone stic surgery.

    There were nearly 5,000ments below this Weibo post expressing their agreement.

    [ Duck? Are you still there? Come out and take a few steps? ]

    [ If he still wants to say that Xia Wanyuan had stic surgery after watching ¡®The Long Bad¡¯, then he should be blind and incurable. ]

    [ Duck, can you talk? Don¡¯t you have to be legally responsible for spreading rumors? ]

    [ Perhaps she¡¯s ugly, so she subconsciously thinks that parents who look good have stic surgery? ]

    It had to be said that works were the most solid foundation for an artiste to establish themselves in the entertainment industry.

    In the past, no matter how Xia Wanyuan rified or defended herself, in the eyes of everyone, it could not change her inherent image. Now, the drama had only broadcasted two episodes, but many people had already spontaneously stood on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Do you know when Xia Wanyuan was referring to when she said she wanted to break the contract?¡±

    Star Creation Entertainment still didn¡¯t know that Xia Wanyuan had recruited a new manager. After discussing with Tang Yin, Chen Yun also helped Xia Wanyuan hide it from thepany.

    When Xia Wanyuan first entered the entertainment industry, Star Creation Entertainment bullied her for not knowing the contract and signed a ten-year contract with her.

    Tang Yin knew that Xia Wanyuan did notck this sum of money, but if Star Creation Entertainment wanted to cause trouble after breaching the contract, it would be very unfavorable for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image.

    However, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be very confident. She told her to just prepare everything. The time to terminate the contract was almost here.

    But no matter how hard Tang Yin thought, she could not think of where this opportunity was.

    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, it should be when Xie Rou released her new song.¡± Chen Yun thought for a while. Thinking of how confident Xia Wanyuan was when she discussed the album with Liu Can, he felt that Xia Wanyuan must have kept something back.

    ¡°Xie Rou? Release a new song? What has it got to do with Xia Wanyuan?¡± Tang Yin waspletely confused now.

    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. There¡¯s no hurry. We¡¯ll slowly collect the evidence first. When the timees, we¡¯ll catch them all in the.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Tang Yin nodded and no longer dwelled on Xia Wanyuan. She returned her gaze to theputer and intercepted the photos of Crown Prince Duck¡¯s Weibo posts about ndering Xia Wanyuan one by one, saving them in the documents and waiting for Xia Wanyuan to terminate her contract.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°What should we do now?! I¡¯m the female lead. Look at what¡¯s happening now. Everyone on the Inte is talking about Xia Wanyuan. Who still remembers that I, Ruan Yingyu, am the female lead of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯?!¡±

    In the hotel, Ruan Yingyu was throwing a tantrum at her manager. Even though she had a feeling that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation would be very good, she did not expect the response to be so enthusiastic.

    Almost everyone¡¯s focus was on Xia Wanyuan. No one thought of Ruan Yingyu at all.

    The manager pursed his lips and thought to himself,?<i>¡®It¡¯s all because you¡¯re not as good-looking as her and your acting isn¡¯t as good as hers¡¯.</i>?However, on the surface, the manager still had tofort Ruan Yingyu.¡¯

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Don¡¯t worry. Thepany has backup ns. Just wait. Remember not to show your unhappiness when you go out these few days. It¡¯s easy for others to make an issue of you.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Ruan Yingyu flipped through thements online again and saw that the ¡°Little Junior Sister is Ugly¡± formed a sharp contrast with ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning beauty¡±. Ruan Yingyu threw her phone away angrily, and her manager rolled her eyes and picked it up for her.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, Jun Shiling was reading documents in the study when Lin Jing¡¯s WeChat message suddenly came in. Jun Shiling clicked on it and realized that it was not a job but a video link.

    Looking at the words ¡°The Long Bad¡± on the link, Jun Shiling recalled that this was the drama Xia Wanyuan had acted in.

    Jun Shiling barely managed to watch the beginning. The moment Ruan Yingyu appeared, he began to drag the progress bar back until the end of the second episode before he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes.

    Initially, he was still watching Xia Wanyuan step by step with warm eyes. When he saw Qin Wu make a move, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened.

    When he saw the little princess looking at Lin Xiao shyly, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned cold.

    Coincidentally, Xia Wanyuan knocked on the door.

 Chapter 194 - Entering the Painter Association

    <h4>Chapter 194: Entering the Painter Association</h4>

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and entered. Jun Shiling switched off the video and stood up.

    ¡°Are you busy?¡± Xia Wanyuan came in with a te.

    ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±

    ¡°I made some cake for Xiao Bao, but he didn¡¯t finish it. Do you want to try it?¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the cake to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I just watched your drama.¡± Jun Shiling scooped a spoonful of cake and ced it in his mouth. It was not sweet and emitted a fragrance. Although he never liked sweet food, he felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cake was not bad.

    ¡°How is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan had yet to take a look and had only heard Tang Yin say that the response was okay.

    ¡°Your acting skills are not bad.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was deep as he said meaningfully, ¡°Your other actor acted pretty well too.¡±

    Qin Wu? His acting skills are indeed quite good and he¡¯s not bad either. He¡¯s considered one of the better male celebrities in the new generation.¡± Xia Wanyuan gave an objective evaluation when she heard Jun Shiling mention Qin Wu.

    Jun Shiling paused in his actions and felt that the cake in his mouth suddenly had no taste.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elegant side profile, Jun Shiling wondered when she would be enlightened.?<i>Should I add fuel to the fire?</i>

    The room fell silent.

    ¡°Are you busy tomorrow?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned around and asked an unrted question. She met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes and felt an inexplicable panic.

    ¡°Nothing much,¡± Jun Shiling replied.

    If the management of the Jun Corporation were present to hear Jun Shiling¡¯s words, they would definitely beughing in their hearts.?<i>CEO Jun, you must have forgotten about the meetings that required you to attend personally.</i>

    ¡°Thene back early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although he didn¡¯t know why Xia Wanyuan had asked him toe back early, Jun Shiling felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to have a free day. She practiced for a while and gave herself a long day off. Sheid leisurely on the sofa and watched ¡°The Long Bad¡±. Before she was halfway through, Professor Zhang called.

    ¡°Little friend Xia, let me tell you a piece of good news. The Painter Association intends to recruit you into the association. I wonder if you¡¯re willing toe?¡± If the peach blossom painting was to let everyone know that there was a person with excellent painting skills like Yuan Wanxia,

    Ink Bamboo and Cold Plum Blossom Painting allowed people to get to know Yuan Wanxia even more. The ¡°Map of Songxia Fisheries¡± that was auctioned a few days ago had truly made everyone realize how profound Yuan Wanxia¡¯s skills were.

    Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, 10 million was already a high price, but to those who knew the trade, many of the ancient techniques hidden in that painting had already far exceeded this price.

    Unfortunately, everyone could only see the picture of this painting in the video at the auction. They could not personally understand the essence of the painting.

    The initiative was initiated by Li Qian, the president of the Painter Association. Everyone agreed to recruit this extraordinary talent.

    Even though the name Yuan Wanxia had already be popr in the painting and calligraphy world, only when they decided to recruit her into the association did everyone realize that they had no idea where she was.

    In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Professor Zhang could only lie that he had obtained the painting from a stall. Now, it was not convenient for him to reveal that he knew Xia Wanyuan. He could only secretly leak this news to Xia Wanyuan and get her to draw another painting and send it to the Painter Association. This way, she could contact the Painter Association.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s useless for me to join the association.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that she was not old in this life, but her painting skills had decades of foundation. She was afraid that it would cause some controversy.

    ¡°Little friend Xia, let me tell you something too. Qing University has always wanted to recruit a guest professor. Back then, I rmended your painting to the Painter Association because I wanted you to be a member of the association. With your ability, it¡¯s more than enough for you to be a professor here.¡±

    Professor Zhang really felt that Xia Wanyuan was a talent and didn¡¯t want to let go of this good opportunity. He tried his best to persuade Xia Wanyuan.

    Hearing Professor Zhang mention the Qing University, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Since ancient times, China had always respected knowledge, especially a top school in the country like the Qing University. Xia Wanyuan was quite willing to attend this school.

    ¡°Alright, Professor Zhang. I will contact them.¡±

    ¡°Alright! Then it¡¯s settled!¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan agree, Professor Zhang was overjoyed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since she had been amazed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s camerast night, there had been rumors on Weibo about that stunning beauty who smiled under the light.

    For marketing ounts, the news media saw that they could gain poprity, so they followed the trend and promoted this small clip on the entire Inte. It attracted the attention of many passers-by.

    A professional statistical tform learned through monitoring that the second day after the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± was released, the number of viewers increased by 50%pared to the first day. This was already a considerable number.

    And these new viewers were basically attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shots.

    [ I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here. The front row is upied. ]

    [ Three minutes left. Qin Wu husband, I¡¯m here! ]

    [ I saw the news and came to take a look. Is Xia Wanyuan, the female lead, really that good looking? ]

    [ What female lead? Can the person in front rify things before speaking? Xia Wanyuan is just a supporting role. Ruan Yingyu is the legitimate female lead, okay? A slut who can move many people to be the female lead? Pfft. ]

    [ The person in front, is your brain eaten by a pig? The author set the Heavenly Spirit Princess up as a bitter princess. She was just someone who had no choice but to bow down to fate. Why is she bing a slut here? Are you blind other than seeing the rtionship between a man and a woman in your eyes? ]

    Many passers-by thought that the clips that were pushed across the Inte was the female lead of the drama. Now that thements were so noisy, they thought to themselves,?<i>¡®Even the supporting role looks so good. How beautiful is the female lead!¡¯</i>

    This was a world where appearances mattered.

    Everyone was immediately excited and waited expectantly for the drama to start.

    With the familiar sound of the flute, the drama began to broadcast on time.

    For the sake of increasing the video length, the video tform at Watermelon tform edited the preview for nearly three minutes.

    It was a good thing for the new audience who had yet to watch the first two episodes, but for the old audience, it was undoubtedly filling in the nks.

    After floating for three minutes, the three words ¡°The Long Bad¡± finally appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes.

    The drama used Lin Xiao¡¯s growth line as the main storyline of the drama. Hence, ten minutes had passed, but the drama was still talking about how the male lead had discovered the mystery of his birth.

    The standard of filming for ¡°The Long Bad¡± was not bad, and the plot was morepact. While everyone watched with interest, they were still looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    Another ten minutes passed, but Xia Wanyuan still did not appear.

    Everyone began to panic.

 Chapter 195 - The Imperial Garden

    <h4>Chapter 195: The Imperial Garden</h4>

    Many passers-by had been attracted here by Xia Wanyuan, who was on the news. They had been watching for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan had not appeared.

    [ Where is she¡­ ]

    [ How side must her role be? It¡¯s been so long and she¡¯s still not out. ]

    [ The person in front, calm down. ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ was originally adapted from the male-frequencynguage. Female characters don¡¯t appear often anyway. Wait patiently for a while. Could it be that Qin Wu¡¯s acting isn¡¯t good? ]

    [ Qin Wu¡¯s acting isn¡¯t bad, but I still want to see how beautiful the legendary peerless beauty can be. ]

    Just as thements were discussing when Xia Wanyuan would appear, the scene in the drama suddenly changed. A golden zed roof and the roof of the pce gradually appeared in the camera.

    A girl¡¯s tinklingughter could be heard from the screen. It was innocent and pure. The camera zoomed past the red walls and golden tiles, finally showing the source of theughter.

    In the imperial garden, countless pce maids and eunuchs were waiting on the side respectfully. There were people holding fans, fruit tes, and pots of water. Everything one could think of was there, which showed how noble the person being served was.

    It was March and the spring sun was shining brightly in the garden. The sun shone warmly on the garden and the pond not far away was shining.

    On the swing, a woman in luxurious clothes was sitting on the swing as she was pushed into the sky by the maids. Her ink-ck hair flew up, and the sunlight fell on her golden pce robe, shining brightly.

    [ I¡¯m so anxious. Where¡¯s her face? ]

    [ Is this how all television dramas behave? Why must they be so suspenseful? Can you hurry up? ]

    [ Even her back view is so good! Her face must be even better! ]

    The camera gradually moved forward and the woman¡¯s face finally appeared on the screen.

    It was different from the gentleness and beauty of casual clothes in the streetmps.

    At that moment, the Heavenly Spirit Princess was wearing a bright yellow princess gown with a satin veil that was embedded with silver threads. Her beautiful hair was tied into an exquisite bun and a peach blossom flower ornament was carefully pasted on her forehead, making her look even more beautiful.

    On both sides of the bun was a gold-threaded peacock hairpin. Under each peacock¡¯s mouth was a string of gemstones that shone under the sunlight.

    The Heavenly Spirit Princess¡¯ughter spread to every corner of the imperial garden. It was as if there had never been any worries in her world. Her every move was filled with elegance. This was what it looked like to be raised by all the pampered children.

    [ Mommy, I¡¯m in love. ]

    [ Wow, it¡¯s so beautiful! ]

    [ This Heavenly Spirit Princess is really amazing!! Why is Xia Wanyuan so good-looking? ]

    [ I take back what I thought about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lousy acting skills in the past. The little princess today looks delicate and naive. She¡¯s clearly different from the Heavenly Spirit Princess who wore civilian clothes and looked ignorant and curiousst night. ]

    [ Tsk, that¡¯s all. What are you bragging about? She¡¯s just a supporting actress. ]

    [ That¡¯s right. What¡¯s the use of being nice to look at? The male lead doesn¡¯t like her anyway. The male lead likes the female lead, okay? ]

    With everyone¡¯s reminder, many passers-by who hade because of her reputation remembered that Xia Wanyuan was only a supporting role.?<i>If the supporting role was already so beautiful, what did the female lead look like?</i>

    Hence, a curious audience asked in thements when the female lead would appear.

    [ Female protagonist? Didn¡¯t the male protagonist recall the time in Cangyuan Mountain just now? The one who flew the kite with him was the female protagonist. ]

    The expectant passers-by were speechless.

 Chapter 196 - Sweeping Through Station D

    <h4>Chapter 196: Sweeping Through Station D</h4>

    The passers-by had not given up. They felt that they might have missed something important when they were in the bathroom, so they continued to ask.

    [ Which little junior sister? Is she the one who¡¯s wearing a jade dress with two little buns and has a little dimples when she smiles? ]

    In order not to make a mistake, passers-by tried to ask in detail.

    [ That¡¯s right. It¡¯s that person. Little Junior Sister is the female lead in the drama. ]

    The passers-byughed in their hearts.?<i>Seeing how you guys were tearing each other up in thements, I thought that the female lead was much better looking than the supporting role. In the end, this is it? Not only does she look average, but her acting skills also look average.</i>

    Passers-by did not care about the battles between fans and directly expressed their true thoughts in thements.

    Then, it sessfully triggered another argument in thements.

    Because it was a male-frequency martial arts novel, in the two episodes that were updated today, the Heavenly Spirit Princess disappeared after showing her face. Everyone was unsatisfied.

    Although the Heavenly Spirit Princess had only appeared twice so far, the famous video editing website D-Site had once again set off a craze of using Xia Wanyuan¡¯s camera topose.

    Most of the users on Station D were from the second dimension¡¯s circle. There were many perfect looks and personas in the second dimension, so these users rarely chased after television dramas or celebrities that had three dimensions.

    However, videos of Xia Wanyuan paired up with various male celebrities spread throughout D-Site overnight. Everyone clicked on it out of curiosity.

    Then, there were exmations:?<i>What kind of godly appearance is this? When did such a good-looking celebrity appear in the third dimension? She¡¯s actually more good-looking than the paper people in the second dimension.</i>

    Hence, thisrge group of people who had never watched three dimensional films began to pay attention to the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡±. This also became the beginning of the break between the second and third dimensional walls.

    Every television drama would be followed and analyzed by professional datapanies. Although the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± had only broadcasted four episodes, something could already be seen.

    ording to the poprity of the search, among all the actors in the drama, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s search index was outstanding. It was 50 times that of second ce Qin Wu, and 100 times that of third ce Ruan Yingyu.

    Some people with foresight had already seen through some data that the most popr person in the drama would definitely be Xia Wanyuan in the end.

    Capital was the most sensitive to who could bring benefits. Xia Wanyuan, who had not received anymercial activities for nearly three years, had unexpectedly received an invitation to a publicity event.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough for today¡¯s meeting. We¡¯ll discuss the rest tomorrow.¡± The executive meeting was halfway through. Although the important decisions had been discussed, there were still some controversial points that needed to be discussed. Jun Shiling raised his hand to look at the time and then cut the meeting short.

    Everyone was a little confused as they watched Jun Shiling disappear at the meeting room¡¯s entrance.

    ¡°Has CEO Jun been getting off work earlier these two days?¡±

    ¡°I got off work on time a while ago. I¡¯ve been getting off work early for the past two days. Why is he rushing back?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you watch the news? CEO Jun already has a child. He probably went home to apany his little wife.¡±

    ¡°Really?!!! I¡¯ve been busy these two days and I didn¡¯t pay attention at all. I always thought that a man like CEO Jun was only suitable to be prayed to on an altar. Which immortal daughter could carry the heart of this god away?¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan, who was known as the immortal¡¯s daughter, was busy in the kitchen.

 Chapter 197 - Ten Thousand Lanterns for You

    <h4>Chapter 197: Ten Thousand Lanterns for You</h4>

    It was rare for Jun Shiling to get off work early, so he brought Xiao Bao back to the manor.

    Jun Shiling held the little child¡¯s hand and disappeared from sight. No one had recovered from the shock of seeing Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I only saw the newsst time. So Jun Shiling¡¯s son is really in this school.¡±

    ¡°Who would have thought that my son is in the same ss as his son? I couldn¡¯t tell normally. If not for what happened to Madam Wangst time¡­ Sigh, speaking of that matter, how is the Wang family?¡±

    ¡°I heard that the Wang family hasn¡¯t been doing well recently. That Wang Kuan is from the branch to begin with. Why would the main branch of the Wang family care about him? Recently, hispany is about to go bankrupt. Cheng Wu, who scolded Jun Shiling¡¯s son, was divorced by the Wang family. She¡¯s really living quite miserably now.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, they¡¯re really bold to provoke Jun Shiling¡¯s son.¡±

    ¡°We have to remind our child not to provoke that child from the Jun family. If he gets into trouble, the entire family will regret it.¡±

    ¡­¡­..

    He was dyed in picking Xiao Bao up and there was also a traffic jam. By the time he returned to the manor, the sky was already dark.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just finished preparing the food and asked the servants to bring it to the table when she saw Jun Shiling walk in with Xiao Bao. ¡°We¡¯re just in time for dinner.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, did you cook again today?¡±

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nod of approval, Xiao Bao cheered and jumped up. ¡°Mommy, I love the food you make the most! The food you make is the best in the world!¡±

    Facing Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao had endless praises.

    When he sat at the table, Jun Shiling realized that there was a small bowl of noodles in front of him.

    The strong fragrance of the soup rose from the porcin bowl. The handmade noodles were soaked in the pale-colored soup very alluringly, and there was a chubby egg lying on the surface.

    Jun Shiling was a little puzzled, but the habit he had developed over the past few days was that he could eat up anything Xia Wanyuan did.

    Jun Shiling immediately picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and was surprised to find that this small bowl of noodles was actually one entire piece. Without any doubts, Jun Shiling ate the long noodle.

    There was not much noodles. After eating the bowl of noodles, the servant served Jun Shiling rice.

    When Jun Shiling stretched out his chopsticks, he felt that something was wrong.

    <i>The dishes today were all my favorite.</i>

    Jun Shiling was not picky about food and was not particr about what he ate. In the past, the chefs in the manor had always provided his meals ording to the recipes given by the nutritionist.

    Furthermore, very few people in the manor knew Jun Shiling¡¯s true preferences.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, who smiled. ¡°Try my food and see if it¡¯s nice.¡±

    He stretched out his chopsticks and tasted them one by one. Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±

    <i>Even the savory vor was my preference.</i>

    A surge of warmth surged into Jun Shiling¡¯s heart, and his eyes turned much gentler.

    Xiao Bao ate exceptionally quickly that day. Before Jun Shiling could put down his bowl, Xiao Bao quickly put down his chopsticks and ran upstairs.

    Not long after, Xiao Bao ran down and ced a box in front of Jun Shiling. He looked a little embarrassed. ¡°Daddy, this is for you. You can look at it when I sleep ~¡±

    Jun Shiling took the box and acknowledged.

    After Xiao Bao gave Jun Shiling something, he thought of the cartoon he had watched in kindergarten.

    <i>Only a brat would disturb his parents¡¯ private time. I am not a brat, and I am very obedient. Besides, the kindergarten was going to have a spring trip tomorrow, so I have to sleep early and wake up early.</i>?Thinking of this, Xiao Bao stopped pestering Xia Wanyuan and obediently followed the nanny to wash up and prepare to sleep.

    If it was a normal night, Jun Shiling would continue working in the study after dinner.

    But today, Jun Shiling felt that Xia Wanyuan was a little different from usual, so he did not go upstairs but waited by the side.

    An hourter, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone notification rang.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it. ¡°It¡¯s ready.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go out for a walk,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling, who stood up and followed.

    The manor was ratherrge, and an entire river surrounded the manor.

    In the early summer season, the air was filled with the fragrance of nts.

    In the past, the manor was always brightly lit. It was a little abnormal today. On the way, the lights were basically dark.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to a limestone b near the water and stood still. There seemed to be something on the limestone b, but at night, it was not very clear.

    ¡°This is?¡± The Xia Wanyuan tonight made Jun Shiling a little puzzled, and he could not help but ask.

    ¡°When I was very young, there was a custom in my hometown.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°On a person¡¯s birthday, if ten thousandnterns are lit, that person will live a peaceful life.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sighed. She only knew from the veryplete document that Uncle Wang had given her that it was actually Jun Shiling¡¯s birthday today, but she had never heard Jun Shiling mention it.

    Xia Wanyuan secretly went to ask Uncle Wang. Only then did she know that ever since Jun Shiling¡¯s parents passed away, Old Master Jun was still in charge of the Jun Corporation at that time and had no time to care about Jun Shiling.

    Every year, Jun Shiling would spend his birthday alone in the huge house. After a few years, Jun Shiling would no longer celebrate his birthday.

    After such a long time, even Jun Shiling had forgotten which day his birthday was.

    When people in the Xia Dynasty celebrated their birthdays, their rtives would usually cook a bowl of longevity noodles and then apany them to light antern to pray for their blessings for their birthday.

    There was no time to prepare more things, so Xia Wanyuan used the method from her previous life to celebrate Jun Shiling¡¯s birthday.

    ¡°Happy birthday, Jun Shiling.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, light suddenly lit up at the bend in the river in front.

    Lanterns floated over from afar in rows. There were more and more of them, as if they were endless.

    Soon, the river was filled withnterns. The originally dark night sky became bright under the illumination of these ten thousandnterns.

    Standing on the limestone, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes also became clear. She had a sweet smile and beautiful eyes.

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

    He wanted to hug this person in front of him tightly and embed her in his heart forever, never letting go.

    That was what he thought and did.

    Xia Wanyuan was still wondering why Jun Shiling had no reaction when Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.

    Unlike the gentleness when he was drunk thest time, Jun Shiling held her tightly in his arms this time as if he had used all his strength.

 Chapter 198 - Teasing

    <h4>Chapter 198: Teasing</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s shirt was a little cold, but the coldness was quickly covered by the warmth from his body.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded in her ear. ¡°I forgot about it myself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who had wanted to break free, suddenly stopped.

    Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan felt a little emotional.

    Although Jun Shiling was the leader of the Jun family, perhaps only he knew the loneliness on the high cliff.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands, which were originally hanging by her sides, hesitated for a moment before she raised them and gently patted Jun Shiling¡¯s back.

    Jun Shiling sensed the movement on his back and froze. He tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan.

    After a while.

    ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Xia Wanyuan assumed that Jun Shiling was in a low mood and needed someone to hug andfort him. When Xiao Bao was unhappy, he liked to seek herfort like this.

    Jun Shiling swallowed back the words that were about toe out of his mouth. ¡°Let¡¯s not get a divorce, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan. Under the myriad of lights, Jun Shiling saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes did not have those charming and gentle thoughts, and his eyes darkened.

    ¡°Come, let go of thisntern.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling. ¡°Then make a wish.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet. It turned out that the ck mass was antern.

    Jun Shiling lit thentern and was about to let it out.

    ¡°Make a wish.¡± In the legends of the Xia Dynasty, thenterns would pass their wishes to the Genie.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand paused. He turned around and took a deep look at Xia Wanyuan, then looked at thenterns. After a few seconds of silence, he steadily threw them into the river. At that moment, there was a sea ofnterns on the river.

    Thentern in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand melted into the sea of lights and slowly floated into the distance.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to turn and leave.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly called out to her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. Jun Shiling was only a step away from her. Her eyes widened in confusion.

    Jun Shiling suddenly leaned down and an extremely aggressive aura came. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart inexplicably panicked.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes that were gradually approaching. His thin lips gradually heated up, and the rity in his eyes was shattered by panic.

    ¡°You?¡± Xia Wanyuan spoke hurriedly. Her slightly widened eyes were as lively as a deer under the light.

    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Jun Shiling did not act as Xia Wanyuan had guessed. Instead, he stopped when he was close to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°Nothing.¡± The embarrassment on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face increased. It was unclear whether she was relieved or disappointed.

    ¡°I just saw that your face seemed to be covered in dust. I came closer to take a look.¡± There was an obvious smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, and the corners of his eyes were gentle.

    He was as gentlemanly as jade and peerlessly brilliant.

    When she saw the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was stunned. A ripple spread in her heart, but the embarrassment and anger in her heart suppressed that ripple.

    Jun Shiling reached out and wiped the side of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s right cheek. ¡°Why are you acting like a little cat?¡±

    The warmth of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand brushed past her face, and Jun Shiling was extremely close. When Xia Wanyuan looked up, she could count Jun Shiling¡¯s distinct eyshes and see the depth in his eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed. She felt that Jun Shiling was a little unfamiliar tonight, making her feel at a loss.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back.¡± Jun Shiling finally took a step back, and Xia Wanyuan turned around with a sigh of relief.

    Hence, she missed the victorious smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s lips.

 Chapter 199 - Hyping Up

    <h4>Chapter 199: Hyping Up</h4>

    There was panic and embarrassment in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes just now.

    There only was not resistance toward him.

    As he watched Xia Wanyuan leave, Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes gradually became firm.

    Jun Shiling watched the lights by the river for a while before returning. In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep with Xiao Bao in her arms. Jun Shiling sat by the bed and opened the box Xiao Bao had given him.

    Inside was a painting. Jun Shiling unfolded the painting.

    The golden sun, the flourishing flowers, and thewn was filled with a family of four holding hands.

    On the paper, ¡°Happy Birthday, Daddy!!¡± Jun Shiling read it and put the painting back into the box.

    The next morning, Xiao Bao unexpectedly received a small jar of milk candy as a reward.

    The first time the Heavenly Spirit Princess saw Lin Xiao¡¯s graceful side, she had left a deep impression on too many people. Over the past few days, the focus of discussions online had been on Xia Wanyuan.

    Amidst the praises, different voices gradually appeared.

    ¡°Does Xia Wanyuan really like Qin Wu? Look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous acting skills. Even if she improved, she wouldn¡¯t have improved so much all of a sudden, right?¡±

    The apanying photos were scenes from several television dramas that Xia Wanyuan had acted in in the past. Her eyes were listless and her gaze was dull. Compared to the shy and angry look the Heavenly Spirit Princess had when she faced Lin Xiao, it was as if they were acting.

    [ Emmmm, it does look pretty different. ]

    [ There are only two possibilities. One is that Xia Wanyuan has taken a miracle pill. The other is that Xia Wanyuan really likes Qin Wu. From the looks of it, the second possibility is higher. ]

    [ Are you people toxic? If Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are bad, she will be mocked. Now that her acting skills are good, she will be suspected of liking male actors from the production team. You guys are so hard to please. ]

    [ Eat melon and support the CP quietly while you¡¯re at it. Acting idiots find inspiration for love or something. It¡¯s a little good. ]

    [ A passer-by passed by quietly. The photo at the back was too realistic. The feeling of a young girl¡¯s heart fluttering is about to rush out of the photo. If this is only a performance, this actor¡¯s acting skills are really not bad. ]

    It was as if they had agreed on this. At the same time, many doubtful Weibo posts appeared.

    Although the passers-by were watching with the mentality of eating melons, the seed of suspicion had already been nted. As long as a little water was poured on it, it would quickly germinate.

    Some marketing ounts also began to follow suit.

    ¡°Is it a miracle pill or is she really attracted to Qin Wu? The truth behind Xia Wanyuan¡¯s great acting leap!¡± This extremely eye-catching title attracted manyizens to this topic.

    [ Yes¡­ I bumped into it. What¡¯s going on? ]

    [ Marketing ounts only know how to exaggerate every day. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡­ Although her image has changed a little recently, she¡¯s still not worthy of Qin Wu. Is there a need to pull them together like this? ]

    [ Could it be that Xia Wanyuan wants to use Qin Wu to hype things up? This method is quite familiar. Didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan use Yan Ci to hype things up in the past? ]

    Qin Wu¡¯s status in the entertainment industry was much higher than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. When their names were ced together, it was very easy for others to think that Xia Wanyuan was using Qin Wu as a publicity stunt.

    This spection was confirmed a few hourster from many photos released by the Duck Prince.

    @ Duck Prince: ¡°Where did this soar in actinge from? It¡¯s just that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s true feelings were leaked.¡±

    There were nine apanying photos on Weibo, all of which were post photos of Xia Wanyuan and Qin Wu filming.

    Some were Xia Wanyuan leaning towards Qin Wu, some were Xia Wanyuan staring at him, and some were Xia Wanyuan being quietly disappointed as she watched Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu act.

    The angles of these photos were very good. In the photos, Xia Wanyuan was basically the one who took the initiative, while Qin Wu had a cold expression as if he was extremely bored.

    [ Er¡­ I just finished eating the melon and I¡¯m already seeing these photos. I have to believe this. ]

    [ Is something wrong with Xia Wanyuan? Can¡¯t you see that our brother doesn¡¯t even want to talk to her? Why does she have to get close to our brother? ]

    [ I thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills had improved. It turns out that she really likes Qin Wu. ]

    [ It¡¯s understandable that she likes him, but Qin Wu clearly doesn¡¯t want to talk to her, yet she still went up to him. Isn¡¯t this harassment? That¡¯s too much. ]

    [ Our Yuan Yuan is such a beautiful woman, is there a need to harass Qin Wu? It¡¯s this duck prince again, a disgusting marketing ount. Do you even believe what he says? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. Xia Wanyuan ys the piano well and sings well. She¡¯s so beautiful and her family is rich. Is shecking a handsome man like Qin Wu? Don¡¯t make it seem like everyone in the world likes your brother. ]

    After experiencing these few episodes of television dramas, Xia Wanyuan had some fans. However,pared to the rtively powerful Qin Wu fan club and arge number of spectators, their strength was still too weak.

    Before he could say a few words, he was attacked by everyone. He was so angry that the president of the fan club sent hundreds of emoticons in the group.

    As the matter gradually fermented, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression as she looked at Qin Wu was even cut into emoticons by many people.

    There was a well-known rule in the entertainment industry that celebrities could not fall in love. Or rather, celebrities who wanted to be popr should not fall in love and have scandals.

    Especially female celebrities. The entertainment industry had always been more harsh on female celebrities. The Weibo post by the Duck Prince directly erased Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hard work in acting and attributed everything to her liking for Qin Wu.

    ¡°There must be someone standing behind the duck prince. Otherwise, why would he have so many behind-the-scenes photos from the production team?¡± Chen Yun looked at the Weibo post posted by the duck prince and said indignantly.

    ¡°It¡¯s probably from Ruan Yingyu. When news like thises out, she¡¯s the one who benefits.¡±

    Tang Yin, who had already decided to return to her identity as a manager, was no longer wearing a solemn long dress like she had been a few years ago. Instead, she was wearing a warm red dress.

    That day, when she returned home from the manor, Tang Yin had found the clothes she had hidden in the wardrobe for a long time and regained the aura of the gold medal manager, Tang Yin, who was arrogant six years ago.

    ¡°What should we do? Do you need me to send a warning?¡±

    ¡°No need for now. Let¡¯s wait for a while.¡± Tang Yin looked at the increasing number ofments under Crown Prince Duck¡¯s Weibo and the corners of her lips curled up.

    If they kept promoting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills openly and that she was beautiful, the audience would tire of her over time.

    It was better to make use of the other party¡¯s hand to make the fire of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are bad¡± burn brighter.

    Then, the audience would realize that they had thought wrongly. This dual psychological difference would make the audience feel apologetic towards Xia Wanyuan. As long as they used it well, it might not be a bad thing for Xia Wanyuan.

    There were still discussions online as more and more photos of the drama team appeared. People were increasingly convinced that Xia Wanyuan was really attracted to Qin Wu. Furthermore, she ignored Qin Wu¡¯s displeasure and wanted to pull Qin Wu along to hype things up.

 Chapter 200 - Recording Album

    <h4>Chapter 200: Recording Album</h4>

    Qin Wu had also learned of this from his manager. He immediately called Xia Wanyuan and asked if she needed his help to rify.

    Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts would coincide with Tang Yin¡¯s?

    She declined Qin Wu¡¯s help tactfully. There was no practical support for rifying things like this. It would only make things worse.

    ¡°Alright, then let me know if you need my help.¡± Although Qin Wu had deliberately distanced himself from Xia Wanyuan after knowing that she had a boyfriend, he was still someone who had been tempted. Naturally, he didn¡¯t want to stand by and watch.

    After hanging up the call with Qin Wu, Xia Wanyuan went to Xia Yue Studio with Tang Yin.

    ¡°Then it¡¯s settled. Don¡¯t worry, we will definitely make your quality the best.¡± In the office, Chen Can was discussing with his manager about the release of the song.

    ¡°Let¡¯s have a pleasant cooperation. I¡¯ll send you out.¡± Chen Can finally settled this extremely difficult manager in front of him and secretly sighed in relief.

    Just as he sent him downstairs, he saw Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin slowly walking over.

    Seeing that familiar rose-like figure, not only Chen Can, but even Li Jiang, who was beside him, stood rooted to the ground in shock.

    ¡°Tang Yin?!¡±

    Everyone knew about the gold medal manager Tang Yin back then. Although there was no news of the rupture that had caused turmoil in the entertainment industry six years ago in the entertainment industry, which had changed extremely quickly,

    in the hearts of the old people in the entertainment industry, they still had a very deep impression of Tang Yin.

    ¡°Long time no see, Director Chen.¡± Tang Yin graciously reached out to Chen Can, who shook her hand.

    He looked at Xia Wanyuan and then looked at Tang Yin. ¡°What are you guys doing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Miss Xia¡¯s manager now.¡±

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Miss Tang to return to the entertainment industry. It seems like Miss Xia is about to be the next legend in the entertainment industry,¡± Chen Can said meaningfully.

    ¡°Director Chen, you¡¯re too kind. We came all the way here. Director Chen, can you let us in for a cup of tea?¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, I was negligent. Come,e, let¡¯s go in and talk.¡± Only then did Chen Can remember that he had actually stood outside and talked to them for so long. He hurriedly led Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin in.

    Tang Yin asked Xia Wanyuan to leave first while she followed behind. Before she left, her fierce gaze swept past Li Jiang, who was standing at the side. The coldness in her eyes stunned Li Jiang.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan and the other two disappeared from the door that Li Jiang reacted. He hurriedly picked up his phone and called his artist.

    ¡°Tang Yin has returned.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the workspace, Chen Can led Tang Yin and Xia Wanyuan to the recording studio. ¡°We¡¯ve already prepared the apaniment ording to your request. Familiarize yourself with it here first. Time is tight. ording to my news, Xie Rou¡¯s motherband has almost beenpleted. It¡¯ll probably be released to the market soon.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan entered the recording studio. There were also professional band teachers inside adjusting the melody of the instruments ording to the apaniment.

    Before today, Xia Wanyuan had nevere into contact with the recording of modern songs. Hence, she was very amazed by the music production equipment in the room.

    In the Xia Dynasty, it waspletely dependent on the singer¡¯s voice. There were not many support devices.

    Xia Yue Studio was indeed a famous gold medal studio in the country. It had not been long since they hadpleted the apaniment ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s melody.

    Xia Wanyuan tried it and was very satisfied. It was the effect she wanted.

 Chapter 201 - Shocking the Recorder

    <h4>Chapter 201: Shocking the Recorder</h4>

    Chen Can also learned from Chen Yun that Xia Wanyuan had no experience recording songs in the past.

    Hence, after cing Xia Wanyuan in the recording studio, Chen Can went for an hour and a half meeting, thinking that he could give her more time to familiarize herself.

    When he arrived at the recording studio after the meeting, he realized that the recorder was listening to the voice in the earphone with an indescribable expression.

    Seeing Chen Can walk over, the cameraman put down his headphones and moved his mouth, looking troubled.

    ¡°Old Yang, didn¡¯t I tell you already? This youngdy has never recorded a song in the past. You have to be more tolerant and give the neers some tolerance.¡± Chen Can walked over and patted the recording master¡¯s shoulder with a smile.

    In Xia Yue¡¯s studio, everyone knew about the fame of Recording Master Yang. He was serious, stubborn, and obsessivepulsive.

    Back then, when a famous singer came to Xia Yue¡¯s studio to record songs, there was a sentence that he could not get over. The recording master had to insult him and record nearly a hundred times before he could finish this sentence.

    Those who usually came here to record songs knew how amazing he was. Even the pronunciation of the words had to be repeatedly practiced, afraid that this extremely strict recording master would grab hold of them and grind them a hundred times.

    Chen Can felt a little guilty about handing Xia Wanyuan to Recording Master Yang. After all, he knew Old Yang¡¯s character, but he did feel that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s melody was very good. In the entire Xia Yue Studio, Old Yang was the only one who could record this song to its best effect.

    Looking at Old Yang¡¯s expression, Chen Can panicked. Xia Wanyuan must have not done it well, causing this usually strict recording master to hesitate and want to plead for Xia Wanyuan again.

    ¡°No, Director Chen, you¡¯re too humble. This youngdy¡¯s voice, aura, voice, and emotions are all very outstanding. I¡¯ve been in the recording industry for so many years, but this is the first time I¡¯ve seen her aura so stable. She doesn¡¯t need our guidance at all to reach a very good state.¡±

    Chen Can was shocked when he heard the recorder¡¯s words. He quickly picked up his headphones and ced them by his ear.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ethereal voice sounded by his ear. Having worked in the production of songs for so many years, Chen Can naturally determined this singing standard in an instant. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan immediately changed.

    <i>This was the blessing of the heavens!</i>

    In the ss window, Xia Wanyuan, who was seriously singing along with the apaniment, had actually been waiting for the recorder to call for a stop.

    After listening to the apaniment for a while, Xia Wanyuan told the recorder to try recording.

    The recording master saw that she had only listened to the apaniment for a short while and was about to sing. He was very worried about her and repeatedly reminded her that she had to stop when someone outside shouted for her to stopter. She could continue after adjusting her breathing and adjusting her voice.

    Who would have thought that after recording two songs, the person outside did not call for a stop?

    What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that the development of technology was good and bad.

    Modern music production technology was so advanced that it could be perfectly edited in theter stages. This led to many people relying too much on sound equipment.

    However, she was different. In her previous life, when she was learning zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, how could she have such advanced equipment? She relied on her physical voice and used the training methods given by the teachers to maximize the advantage of her voice.

    This made her voice appear especially stable. Furthermore, after practicing the ancient zither for a long time, she had a very sharp sense for the extremely subtle tones. In the modern world, the problems of many singers having an outdated tone and unstable breathing were nothing to her.

    Finally, after recording three songs, Chen Can gestured for her to go out and Xia Wanyuan walked out.

    ¡°Director Chen, is there anything I didn¡¯t do well?¡±

 Chapter 202 - Poor Acting Skills??

    <h4>Chapter 202: Poor Acting Skills??</h4>

    Before entering the recording studio, the recorder had said that she had to stop and adjust continuously. Now, Xia Wanyuan felt that she had done something wrong and needed to improve.

    ¡°Miss Xia, is this really your first time recording a song? Have you never had any experience in this area?¡± Chen Can asked in disbelief the moment Xia Wanyuan came out.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. The original owner of this body did not have such experience. As for herself, she had the experience of her previous life, but it was obvious that she could not bring it up.

    After all, in modern society, what was important was science. As a person who had mysteriously entered the alternate world, if she was discovered, she wondered if she would be thrown into a scientificboratory.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re really talented! You¡¯re amazing!¡± Chen Can had been in the music production industry for many years and had seen many ace singers. He could be considered to have extremely high standards in music.

    However, today, he was indeed attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing. Not only was her voice beautiful, but Xia Wanyuan had handled many vocal techniques very well.

    If anyone else were to hear this, they would not think that it was something that could be done bya newbie.

    There was no justice in the world if Xia Wanyuan was not popr.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard today. Let¡¯s stop here first. We¡¯ll make a parenthesis first and bring it to youter. If you think there¡¯s no problem, we¡¯ll continue recording.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    At this moment, Tang Yin and Chen Yun also entered with a bag of coffee and dessert in hand.

    ¡°Are you done recording?¡± Tang Yin was a little surprised. She had taught so many celebrities before, so she naturally knew that although recording songs seemed simple, every word and every phrase needed to be repeatedly polished. It was not that simple.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the heavens have truly rewarded us with food. Your talent is so great that others cannotpare to you. The recording has already beenpleted.¡± Chen Can took the coffee Chen Yun handed him and praised Xia Wanyuan generously.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Tang Yin silently raised the limit on Xia Wanyuan in her heart.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin followed Xia Wanyuan into the distance.

    ]¡±How far do you think Xia Wanyuan can go?¡± In the recording studio, Chen Can looked at the backs of the three of them as he drank the coffee sent by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager and ate the cake they had given him. He could not help but ask the recorder beside him.

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. We might witness history.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Theizens were always good with their words and actions.

    On the surface they said, ¡°Eh, why is Xia Wanyuan sticking to Qin Wu so much? She¡¯s really shameless for creating hype.¡±

    However, their hands honestly clicked on the update for ¡°The Long Bad¡± at eight o¡¯clock sharp.

    The setting of ¡°The Long Bad¡± was that the world was in chaos and that a town was divided.

    Hence, not long after the male protagonist arrived in Beijing, the traitor attacked the city. The old dynasty had beenplicated for a long time, and the glorious old dynasty had not been baptized by blood for too long. It was as fragile as a piece of white jade hanging in the hall, shattering at the slightest touch.

    The rebel army knocked open the door of the pce. The usually harmonious and peaceful pce was now aze with mes. The continuous mes had burned the once prosperous pce into ruins.

    The pce maids and eunuchs fled for their lives, but some people were stabbed to death by the rebels before they could escape the pce.

    In the princess¡¯s bedroom, more than ten pce maids were standing in front of the Heavenly Spirit Princess, serving her.

    The maids had originally given the little princess a jade-purple flower hairpin, but the little princess found it too old-fashioned and insisted on changing it.

    After changing to a few that the princess still did not like, the maids brought the jewelry box to the little princess. The little princess casually flipped through it, but her gaze was fixed on a silver butterfly hairpin. It was the hairpin she had worn when she snuck out on the Lantern Festival that night.

    Thinking of that handsome young master, the little princess¡¯s face, which had yet to apply rouge, suddenly lit up. She lowered her eyes slightly and pointed at the butterfly hairpin shyly. ¡°This one.¡±

    [ Sister, go out and take a look. Your parents are going to die soon, yet you¡¯re still choosing hairpins here. ]

    [ From her expression, I wouldn¡¯t believe it if Xia Wanyuan said she doesn¡¯t like Qin Wu. ]

    [ The person in front, are you not allowing someone to have good acting skills? Is Qin Wu a treasure? Everyone has to like him! ]

    [ Are you kidding me? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are good? Do you guys think that there are no memories of the Inte now? The idiotic television dramas that Xia Wanyuan used to act in are still on video websites. ]

    [ Am I the only one who feels sad? I won¡¯t be able to see such a beautiful princess anymore. ]

    ¡°Princess! Bad news! The rebels are attacking the city! Run!¡±

    Suddenly, a mournful cry came from outside the hall. The little princess¡¯s originally shy face suddenly lifted up, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

    Just as the audience in thements was about to ridicule her for being expressionless¡­

    The confusion in the little princess¡¯s eyes changed. Some disbelief and shock could be seen with the naked eye in the little princess¡¯s eyes. She pushed away the maids around her and rushed out of the pce door.

    When she arrived outside the door, everything was different from inside the house. The blue sky and white clouds were gone, and the red light in the ck house soared into the sky. Not far away, the mournful cries of the pce maids could be heard, and the sound of swords shing never stopped.

    The little princess seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of her. She was stunned for a moment before she suddenly thought of her father and mother. She suddenly ran towards the main hall.

    It was a mess. In the pce where corpses were piled up, the little princess was dressed in a bright yellow pce gown. She ran quickly and the camera followed her.

    In many television dramas, characters should be crying and running at the same time. This could entuate the sad atmosphere. Even Director Yang had told Xia Wanyuan to cry and run back then.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not deal with it this way. No one knew better than her the mentality she had when she heard the news of the country¡¯s destruction. She was at a loss, only at a loss.

    It was as if all her anger had been sucked out of her heart, and she no longer had any support. However, when she thought of her parents, Xia Wanyuan could not think of crying at all in her previous life. All she knew was to run faster and faster. She wanted to see her parents safe and sound.

    It was the first time the audience in thements had seen someone remain expressionless after hearing the news of the country¡¯s destruction. They immediately wanted toin in thements.

    The little princess ran for a long time before finally following the path to the main hall. Through the tall steps, she finally saw her parents tied to the steps.

    Her originally expressionless face split open in an instant, and her pupils dted. Fear emitted from her body, making one feel her pain from the inside out.

    Everyone stopped their hands that were about to send ridiculements.

    The little princess wanted to rush up and Lin Xiao, who had been entrusted by his friend to look for the princess, saw her and hurriedly went forward to cover her mouth, dragging her back.

    Hence, the little princess could only watch as her parents were stabbed to death by the traitor. Her eyes, which were filled with flowers the day before, were now red and swollen. Tears streamed down her face one after another. The sorrow and hatred in her eyes seemed to be real, causing everyone¡¯s hearts to clench.

 Chapter 203 - Defamation

    <h4>Chapter 203: Defamation</h4>

    The emperor and queen of the old dynasty had been killed by the rebel leader, and the pce had basically be the world of the rebels.

    The blood of her parents flowed down from the high tform, winding into a small river.

    The little princess, who was crying in pain, bent down and threw the handkerchief in her arms into the blood. So much blood dyed the entire handkerchief red in an instant, and the little princess¡¯s tears flowed even more.

    ¡°Princess, we have to leave. The rebels have already upied the pce. If we don¡¯t leave now, it¡¯ll be toote,¡± Lin Xiao carefully observed the surroundings as he spoke to the little princess.

    ¡°Mm.¡± The little princess picked up the bloodstained handkerchief and put it back into her arms, not caring that the blood had stained her clothes.

    As Lin Xiao entered the secret passage, the little princess, who had been smiling coquettishly on the swing yesterday, turned around coldly and looked at the rebel leader on the high tform, who was showing off her parents as trophies.

    The hatred in her eyes turned tangible as if she wanted to hack that person into pieces.

    [ Why aren¡¯t those haters jumping out now?? Come,e,e, take two steps out. ]

    [ Is this called bad acting skills? If you say that her acting skills are bad, I think you¡¯re really blind. ]

    [ Wow, I¡¯m crying. Really. Boohoo. Boohoo. ]

    [ My tears are worth nothing. AHH!! How can there be someone who looks so good while crying yet able to make me feel hopeless at the same time?! My god.]

    [ I cried too when she cried. Her tears were flowing like tap water. ]

    When everyone was halfway through watching it, they recalled the Weibo post that the duck prince had posted. They suddenly felt that they had been led astray, so they returned to the duck prince¡¯s Weibo ount.

    Coincidentally, Prince Duck also watched ¡°The Long Bad¡± like everyone else. However, he only watched half of it before he took a screenshot, recorded the video, and hurriedly went to Weibo.

    @ Crown Prince: ¡°See, I told you. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills, how could she have acted so well as a young girl¡¯s shy and timid expression? It was obvious that she had revealed her true feelings at that time. In the drama broadcasted tonight, Xia Wanyuan exposed herself. Look, this is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression after she heard that her country had broken down.¡±

    The apanying photos were of Xia Wanyuan running around the pce. She was indeed expressionless and did not even shed a tear.

    Anyone who had never watched a drama would have the same reaction when they saw this photo. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡±

    In the entertainment industry, celebrities with bad acting skills were mocked very much. In addition, there were many fans of the original novel ¡°The Long Bad¡±. Many fans who had not had the time to watch the new episode identally saw this Weibo post and exploded.

    The Crown Prince had a lot of fans. Before those who had really watched the drama could react, those who had not watched the drama and felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were bad after seeing a few screenshots were excited.

    Soon, the trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills after her country fell¡± reached the top.

    After watching two episodes of television drama updates, they came to Weibo to praise Xia Wanyuan and scold some fans of Prince Duck¡¯s drama. They were actually quite happy to see this trending topic.

    It seemed that everyone had good taste.

    When they clicked on it, they saw that the Weibo ount of the Duck Prince¡¯s marketing ount was surprisingly at the top of the trending list. There were nearly twenty thousandments below, all of them saying that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were bad and that Xia Wanyuan had stuck to Qin Wu.

    How could I endure this?!!! (italics) Those who had really watched television dramas and were crying immediately raged. Although they were not Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, at this moment, they had be free Inte Water Army.

 Chapter 204 - Reversal and Clarification

    <h4>Chapter 204: Reversal and rification</h4>

    Hence, many people spontaneously edited Xia Wanyuan from the moment she heard the news to the scene of her parents dying in front of her and posted it on Weibo.

    Many people willingly reposted andmented. In just a few minutes, this crying scene was pushed to second ce on Weibo.

    A passer-by entered the trending topic and saw the Weibo post posted by the Duck Prince first. He pursed his lips.?<i>Eh, these female celebrities with bad acting skills are using their looks to poison the eyes of the public again.</i>

    He scrolled down and saw a rification Weibo post.

    ¡°If this is called bad acting skills, then I really can¡¯t think of what good acting skills are. # Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills after her country fell #¡±

    Everyone¡¯s curiosity was aroused, but they were really afraid of being criticized and brainwashed by their fans in the past, so they did not have much hope when they clicked on the video.

    <i>Mm, the little princess was really pretty.</i>

    <i>Her shy expression was on point. Fortunately, her acting skills were not bad.</i>

    <i>This shocked expression was not bad. It was not as dull as the screenshot of Prince Duck.</i>

    <i>She started running. She was expressionless, but I can ept it. The screenshot might make her look very dull, but when it was connected in the video, it did not feel strange.</i>

    <i>She¡¯s going to cry. Here ites.</i>

    <i>Huh?!!! This crying scene!! How can they call her acting bad when she¡¯s crying like this?! Aren¡¯t marketing ounts too heartless nowadays?! I¡¯m cheated again! How infuriating!</i>

    <i>What is the name of this drama? What is the name of this actress?! Arrange it.</i>

    Almost 98% of the passers-by clicked on this video and had such thoughts.

    As for the other two percent of people, when they saw the beautiful little princess in luxurious clothes, they had already arranged for this drama. This was the principle of dog-faced humans.

    Thoseizens who had originally leftments and abuses under the Crown Prince felt that something was wrong as they scolded. No matter what, their blind replies were increasing.

    They exited Prince Duck¡¯s Weibo for no reason and clicked on the rification video. Then, they appeared with a furious expression.

    <i>Trash marketing ount!!! Liar again!! Brothers, screw him!</i>

    Hence, the huge traffic that the Crown Prince Duck had earned through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s news suffered a huge bacsh.

    Countless people angrily ran to report the duck prince¡¯s homepage because they had been cheated. Because too many people had reported it, this marketing ount had been officially blocked.

    Those who had once scolded Xia Wanyuan for her poor acting skills felt guilty after watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video, so they went to watch ¡°The Long Bad¡±. With one look, the three scenes that Xia Wanyuan had appeared hadpletely won them over.

    On that day, the number of fans in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan club increased to three thousand.

    The group leader was so frightened that she immediately clicked on the Weibo homepage of these people. She was relieved when she saw that they were all normal passers-by.

    <i>It¡¯s too scary. I thought that our Yuan Yuan¡¯s fan club had not even reached a scale and the anti-fans were already prepared to destroy our nest.</i>

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin did not expect things to develop so smoothly.

    ¡°In the end, our Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are too good. Now that her ability has increased, it¡¯s useless no matter how others nder her.¡± Looking at the ount that the duck prince had been banned, Chen Yun could not help but sigh.

    In the past, these marketing ounts could not be removed no matter what. Now, without them needing to do anything, theizens had already helped them get rid of this malignant tumor.

    On the other hand, Ruan Yingyu¡¯s managementpany, which had lost hundreds of thousands of marketing fees, was not that happy.

 Chapter 205 - Extreme Gentleness

    <h4>Chapter 205: Extreme Gentleness</h4>

    ¡°Every time I tell thepany that the money wille back, what about now? Is it back?! I spent a lot of money, but in the end, it¡¯s all for Xia Wanyuan!! I think you don¡¯t have to ask for your next drama anymore. Other than losing money, it¡¯s useless.¡±

    ¡°CEO Wang, I¡­¡± Before Ruan Yingyu could finish speaking, thepany hung up.

    Ruan Yingyu was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone again.

    ¡°Aiyo, my little ancestor, this is the third phone this month. Can you stop smashing it?¡± The manager was very annoyed, but he could only coax Ruan Yingyu.

    ¡°Then tell me what to do! Why is Xia Wanyuan always above me? What basis does she have? I¡¯m the female lead!¡± Unlike her usual pure and lovely self in front of the camera, the current Ruan Yingyu looked a little sinister.

    <i>Based on what? Based on the fact that she¡¯s better looking than you and she acts better than you.</i>

    The manager only dared toin in his heart. He sighed. ¡°Why don¡¯t you look for Young Master Xuan again? Didn¡¯t Young Master Xuan give you Qian Xiu¡¯s resourcesst time?¡±

    ¡°Young Master Xuan?¡± Ruan Yingyu put down her phone when her manager mentioned it.?<i>That¡¯s right, how could I have forgotten about Young Master Xuan?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Finally, the day¡¯s recording ended. All six songs of the album had been recorded.

    Chen Can¡¯s evaluation of Xia Wanyuan was rather high. He had practically participated in the recording of the song the entire time, and he had been especially helpful to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I think Master Jun is here to pick you up.¡± Tang Yin and Chen Yun apanied Xia Wanyuan out of the studio building. It was already dark.

    From afar, a ck limousine drove over.

    The chauffeur opened the car door.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and asked Tang Yin and Chen Yun. It was gettingte.

    ¡°No, no, no. We still have something to discuss. Go back first.¡± Tang Yin hurriedly waved her hand.

    She could be considered someone who had seen the world and had experienced ups and downs in the entertainment industry, but the feeling Jun Shiling gave her was that of an invisible mountain. That overwhelming pressure was probably only something Xia Wanyuan could ignore.

    Furthermore, she had been through this before. Although she felt that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship was strange, she could not mistake the light in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes whenever he looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    They didn¡¯t have to be third wheels and make things difficult for Young Master Jun.

    Since Tang Yin and the rest were unwilling, Xia Wanyuan did not force them and got into the car herself.

    Jun Shiling had a small cake beside him. Seeing Xia Wanyuane over, he opened it naturally.

    Xia Wanyuan took it and had just taken a bite when Chen Can called. Just as Xia Wanyuan and the rest left, Chen Can thought of a good idea. As a person, he could not help but want to confide in someone when his inspiration burst forth.

    Xia Wanyuan listened to him attentively, holding a pen in her hand as she memorized what Chen Can had said.

    However, the sweet fragrance of the cake lingered at the tip of her nose. Xia Wanyuan could not help but wrinkle her nose slightly. She nced at the cake on the table, then retracted her gaze and continued to write on the paper.

    ¡°Let me tell you, Miss Xia, we can use¡­¡± Chen Can spoke non-stop when he spoke about music.

    Xia Wanyuan was recording down his point when she suddenly handed him a spoonful of cake.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up in surprise. Jun Shiling¡¯s hand was right in front of her.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was very calm, as if it was something very normal. The sweetness of the cake was too enticing, and Xia Wanyuan could not help but take a bite.

    <i>Mm, how fragrant.</i>

    Sensing the little strength on the spoon, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart trembled, but he did not show it on his face.

    Hence, the subsequent feeding became much more natural. Chen Can went through all the details with Xia Wanyuan, who asionally gave him some opinions.

    By the time she finished speaking and wrote it down on the paper, Jun Shiling had already urately fed her the cake. Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and bit away the cake.

    Hence, when Chen Can finally hung up the phone, there were only some cake crumbs left on the table.

    Xia Wanyuan swallowed thest mouthful of cake, put away the book in her hand, and sat on the sofa to read.

    ¡°Why are you like Jun Yin? You always stain your mouth with cream.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice sounded beside her ear.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to reach for a tissue, when Jun Shiling gently wiped the crumbs off the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. She felt that Jun Shiling had been acting a little abnormally these two days.

    In the past, Jun Shiling was pretty good too. He was like a gentleman.

    It seemed that ever since his birthday that day, Jun Shiling had treated her better and was even overly gentle.

    She had been recording songs at Xia Feng Studio recently and had been busy untilte. However, Jun Shiling would alwayse and pick her up from work to go home together. Sometimes, when she was dyed, Jun Shiling would wait downstairs.

    Besides, even though she treated Xiao Bao like this at home, she felt that something was wrong.

    Sensing that Xia Wanyuan had been staring at him, Jun Shiling looked up, his eyes clear as if nothing had happened.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°I feel that you seem to have been especially good to me these two days.¡± Xia Wanyuan had always been someone who asked questions whenever she had problems. Furthermore, she felt that Jun Shiling was a trustworthy person, so there was no need to hide it.

    ¡°You treat me very well. No one has ever celebrated my birthday for me before. Can¡¯t I reciprocate?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was calm, making Xia Wanyuan feel that she had been too restrained.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Although she had received Jun Shiling¡¯s reply, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart felt like it had been scratched by a kitten. It was soft and a little chaotic.

    Jun Shiling retracted his gaze and continued to read the document in his hand. However, the tip of his brows twitched slightly.

    When he returned to the manor, Xiao Bao had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had returned, Xiao Bao quickly ran towards Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling had let go of the milk candy control these few days, and the kiss Xiao Bao nted on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face carried a sweet milky fragrance.

    At the dining table, Jun Shiling had changed a littlepared to usual. He would carefully put Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite dishes into her bowl. When Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly from the spiciness, there would be a cup of warm water by the te as she looked up.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°How is it? Have you found out? No matter how much it costs, find the agreement they signed.¡± In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa and threw fish food into the fish tank far away.

    ¡°We¡¯re already doing our best. The poption there is very strict, but recently, there¡¯s someone who¡¯s preparing to leave. I¡¯ve already sent people to contact him.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng threw down another fish food. The koi in the fish tank waved its tail, causing a ssh.

    ¡°Young Master, Ruan Yingyu called and said she wanted to see you.¡±

    ¡°Who?¡± Xuan Sheng frowned slightly.

    ¡°The little celebrity who sent you Miss Xia¡¯s video back then.¡±

 Chapter 206 - Im a Superstar

    <h4>Chapter 206: I¡¯m a Superstar</h4>

    After the assistant said this, Xuan Sheng recalled that she was the spokesperson that the fool in charge had found for Qian Xiu.

    ¡°Bring her over in two days.¡± Xuan Sheng scattered the fish food in his hand.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    <i>It¡¯s this feeling again.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s aura had invaded deeper and deeper these few days. He was like the vast sea that wrapped Xia Wanyuan uppletely.

    Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had appeared even more meticulously by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. However, every time Xia Wanyuan sensed that something was wrong, Jun Shiling would act as if nothing had happened, making Xia Wanyuan feel that she was overthinking.

    ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯lle overter.¡±

    The preparatory work for ¡°I am a Superstar¡± was basically done. The recording was about to begin, so she had to go and shoot a publicity poster first. Early in the morning, Tang Yin called Xia Wanyuan.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan naturally took the milk from Jun Shiling.

    Habits were a very scary thing. A few days ago, when Jun Shiling fed her a cake, Xia Wanyuan still felt very ufortable.

    After Jun Shiling¡¯s unintentional nurturing over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan was already used to this way of interacting.

    ¡°Are you recording a program today?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m shooting a promotional video.¡±

    ¡°Let me send you.¡± In the past few days, no matter where Xia Wanyuan went, it would coincidentally be on Jun Shiling¡¯s way.

    ¡°Tang Yin and the rest wille and pick me up. Besides, your car is too eye-catching.¡± After all, it was the only custom-made car in the world. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to make the headlines because of Jun Shiling¡¯s car.

    ¡°Fine.¡±

    It was the beginning of summer, and the morning sun was already somewhat scorching. Tang Yin and Chen Yun drove and waited at the door. From afar, they saw Jun Shiling holding an umbre for Xia Wanyuan to block the sunlight.

    ¡°Hey, Brother Chen, what do you think is wrong with CEO Jun and Wanyuan?¡± Logically speaking, both of them had children and were living together, but no matter how Tang Yin looked at it, she felt that it was one-sided from Jun Shiling¡¯s side.

    Although this thought made her feel a little incredulous herself.?<i>Who was Jun Shiling? That was the most perfect dream and delusion in the hearts of women in the world. Would he have a one-sided love?</i>

    However, what she saw in reality made her suspicious.

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand either. Anyway, let¡¯s just watch quietly from the side. Don¡¯t get involved.¡±?<i>It was not easy to get involved in other people¡¯s rtionships, especially Jun Shiling¡¯s. Wouldn¡¯t it be suicide to get involved?</i>

    ¡°Mm.¡± Tang Yin nodded.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling slowly walked to the car. Chen Yun opened the door for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Be careful on the way.¡± Jun Shiling waved at the car.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Jun Shiling held an umbre and watched as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car gradually drove away. Then, he took out his phone and made a call.

    The variety program for ¡°I am a Big Star¡± was developed by Orange Video Website.

    Orange Video Website could actually be ranked top five on domestic video websites.

    However, it could not stop the top three websites from being too powerful. They had almost monopolized 70% of the country¡¯s market.

    Although the interface of the Orange Video Website was well done and the advertisements did not destroy the page, in terms of revenue, they could notpare to those video tforms withrge websites.

    Variety programs that were very popr in the country were usually bought out by the top threerge tforms. These websites could not even get a share of the profits.

    Hence, in the past few years, Orange Video Website had gradually begun to make variety shows on their tforms. ¡°I am a Superstar¡± was the variety show that Orange Video Website had invested the most this year.

    Normally, starting from the first round, there would usually be more than a hundred people participating in the snatching of the qualifications for the second round. Every round, there would be more than ten people scrolling down until the end, leaving behind the top ten.

    However, ¡°I am a Superstar¡± itself chose B- and C-list celebrities, so it was impossible to find more than a hundred people in one go like ordinary talent shows.

    Furthermore, in order to fully disy the characteristics of every celebrity in front of the audience, ¡°I am a Superstar¡± only chose six celebrities this time. Through five advancementpetitions, they selected the final champion.

    The champion would be able to receive publicity opportunities from all the channels on the Orange Video tforms. Although the Orange Video tform was not considered top-notch, it was still one of the top five tforms. Such a promotion and exposure opportunity was a very good reward for B- and C-list celebrities.

    Furthermore, when a variety program was broadcasted, it would bring about a certain amount of poprity.

    After entering the Orange Video Website¡¯s building, Chen Yun pressed the elevator button and blocked the elevator with his arm. Just as he was about to let Xia Wanyuan in, a woman wearing a short skirt and high heels snatched the path from Xia Wanyuan and entered the elevator.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the person in the elevator and didn¡¯t pursue the matter. Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by the bodyguards inside. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, our Miss Lin isn¡¯t used to squeezing with others. Please wait for a while.¡±

    The woman in the elevator, who was wearing sunsses, raised her chin slightly at Xia Wanyuan. Even though she was wearing sses that covered half of her face, it could not hide the disdain on her face.

    Chen Yun looked at the woman in the elevator and was a little speechless. Enemies were indeed bound to meet on a narrow road.

    <i>Isn¡¯t Lin Xuan an A-list celebrity? Why is she filming this program?</i>

    Tang Yin had a fiery temper. She did not care who was standing inside. Furthermore, in her eyes, this woman inside should not be that popr, yet she was quite arrogant in the end.

    The bodyguard inside was about to close the elevator door when Tang Yin stretched out her leg to stop the elevator. Then, in the bodyguard¡¯s shock, she entered the elevator and blocked the door. ¡°Wanyuan,e in. We¡¯re in a hurry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not decline and directly brought Chen Yun into the elevator.

    Lin Xuan was stunned. The little shrimps she usually met were never so arrogant. The woman in front of her had a good face, but she had never seen this face after being in the entertainment industry for so long. She was clearly just an unpopr newbie.

    Speaking of which, if it was in the past, Lin Xuan would not have bothered to participate in such a small production variety show. After all, she had spent many years of effort and finally climbed to the position of an A-list female celebrity.

    Unfortunately, she had originally wanted to use Jun Shiling¡¯s name to hype things upst time, but in the end, she was pped in the face by Jun Shiling, causing her business resources to plummet.

    After all, no one knew what would happen to her after she offended Jun Shiling. Afraid that she would be implicated, Lin Xuan stayed at home for a long time.

    Slowly, she realized that Jun Shiling might not have noticed that there was still a little shrimp like her. That was why she came out to exercise. However, at this moment, she was no longer treated like an A-list celebrity.

    In order to increase her fame and be active in front of the public again, Lin Xuan could only rely on her connections to ept this variety show ¡°I am a Superstar¡±.

    However, she did not expect that here, even an unknown little celebrity could step on her face. Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite side profile, Lin Xuan rolled her eyes.

    If you go against me, I¡¯ll show you who is bosster.

 Chapter 207 - Lin Xuan Making Things Difficult

    <h4>Chapter 207: Lin Xuan Making Things Difficult</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Wanyuan and the rest had been dyed downstairs for a while. They were considered rtivelyte.

    There were already a few people waiting in front of the studio.

    This time, the Orange tform found four women and two men.

    Tang Yin had already shown Xia Wanyuan the information about the others in advance. Everyone¡¯s personality was still rather obvious.

    The person who was squatting on the ground with a slightly round face and two dimples when she smiled was the adorable Su Xiaoguo.

    Zhao Ya, who had debuted for many years, was chatting happily with the director in the recording studio.

    Not far away from Su Xiaoguo stood a very gentle man. His eyes and eyebrows looked extremely amiable. He was Nan Jun, whom the information had mentioned.

    Xia Wanyuan counted and seemed to be short of one. She saw a hip-hop youth in the distance approaching rapidly on a skateboard. This was the extremely young hip-hop general who had be famous because of his unique personality.

    While Xia Wanyuan was sizing them up, everyone was also sizing up Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan, who were slowly walking over.

    Lin Xuan even had to fight to be first in order to walk. Even though she was standing in the elevator, she insisted on leaving the elevator early. Xia Wanyuan did not give in to her and swayed for a while before leaving the elevator, leaving Lin Xuan behind to re at her.

    However, she didn¡¯t expect that after she came out, Lin Xuan still wouldn¡¯t admit defeat. Even though she was jogging, she still walked in front of Xia Wanyuan. Seeing how crooked she was walking, Xia Wanyuan only felt that it was funny and couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with her.

    Even though Lin Xuan was walking in front, no one looked at her. After all, everyone knew what kind of person Lin Xuan was.

    Everyone was very interested in Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly approaching from behind. Their first impression was that this woman was too beautiful. Even in the entertainment industry where many stars gathered, it was rare to see someone so stunning.

    Coupled with her cold temperament, everyone sighed in their hearts.

    Lin Xuan saw that she had been neglected again. It was because of this unknown female celebrity behind her that she had already included Xia Wanyuan in her enemy¡¯s list before the program even began.

    The matter that could be resolved after filming for half a day was forced to be filmed by Lin Xuan for a day.

    The main reason was because Xia Wanyuan was too outstanding.

    Initially, it was fine when everyone separated to take individual publicity photos. No one disturbed each other, but when it came to taking photos together, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance and temperament were too outstanding.

    Lin Xuan had originally upied the center seat, but she was suddenly surpassed by Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a simple white shirt. The entire venue seemed to be focused on Xia Wanyuan.

    Lin Xuan found many excuses and filmed it over and over again. In the end, the photographer had no choice but to look for the main production team. Only then did he decide that there was no need to continue filming.

    However, it was alreadyte. After a day of filming, everyone was hungry. They had a stomach full of anger towards Lin Xuan, but since she had a higher status, no one dared to say anything.

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan purely wanted to nurture her camera sense. After all, she didn¡¯t have many chances to film, and she wanted to prepare more for the filming of the variety program, so she went with Lin Xuan¡¯s wishes.

    However, in Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan, who had not resisted for the entire day, appeared weak and easily bullied.

    After a day of filming, Xia Wanyuan took her clothes and was about to walk out the door when she received a WeChat message from Jun Shiling saying that he hade to pick her up.. However, Xia Wanyuan looked around and did not see anyone.

 Chapter 208 - Hair Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 208: Hair Kiss</h4>

    At this moment, the lights of a ck limousine not far away suddenly lit up.

    The car window rolled down. Jun Shiling sat behind the car and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and was a little stunned. ¡°Why did you change your car?¡±

    ¡°The car was scratched on the way, so I switched to a temporary car first. Come on up.¡± Jun Shiling opened the door.

    The chauffeur was speechless. He did not know how rich people yed.?<i>The car was clearly in the garage. How did it get scratched? As the chauffeur, how could I not know?</i>

    Chen Yun was speechless as he watched the car with the statue of the goddess gradually disappear into the distance. ¡°Is he speaking human? Changing cars at thest minute? Changing cars at thest minute is worth tens of millions. It¡¯s simply too hateful of the rich.¡±

    ¡°Why do I feel that CEO Jun specially came to pick up Wanyuan?¡± Tang Yin did not notice Jun Shiling¡¯s car. She only felt that Jun Shiling had changed into a car that was very low-key to him. Perhaps it was to not cause amotion and allow him to pick up Xia Wanyuan openly.

    Although Jun Shiling might have some misunderstandings between the low profile that he understood and the low profile that everyone understood.

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s take a taxi back. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Chen Yun was about to g down a car on the way when he saw two high-end BMs slowly stop in front of them.

    A handsome man with sses got out of the car.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the assistant of the Jun Corporation. I¡¯ll give you the keys to this car. You don¡¯t have to worry about the fuel and maintenance fees. In the future, the two of you can use this car to pick Madam up.¡±

    After saying that, Lin Jing handed the keys to Chen Yun and got into the car in front of him.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin looked at each other.?<i>Tsk, tsk. I¡¯m following Xia Wanyuan. The quality of my life has improved!</i>

    After a day of filming, it was impossible to say that she was not tired. The speed of the car was very stable. Slowly, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sleepiness overwhelmed her. She leaned against the seat and fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling turned to look at her and reached out to gently pull her into his arms.

    Having been together with Jun Shiling for the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had long let down her guard against him and drawn him into her safety zone. She did not react at all to Jun Shiling¡¯s approach.

    Now that Jun Shiling was hugging her, Xia Wanyuan did not feel any difort. Instead, as if she had found someone to lean on, her arms wrapped around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s body stiffened. He looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was sleeping peacefully, and lowered his head to nt a gentle kiss on her hair.

    The chauffeur who had identally seen this scene in front:?<i>I shouldn¡¯t be here. The light at the square seems to be broken. I¡¯m so bright, I should be there to shine.</i>

    The car slowly drove into the manor. The chauffeur did not dare to look at the rearview mirror the entire time, afraid that he would see something he shouldn¡¯t have and lose the golden rice bowl in the Jun family.

    When the car stopped, Xia Wanyuan felt something. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms with her arms wrapped around his waist.

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling¡¯s right hand was on her shoulder, and his left hand was holding a acquisition document.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red.?<i>It seems like I treated Jun Shiling as a pillow again.</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xia Wanyuan got up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was all over her, making her feel a little ufortable.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was still fixed on the document. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m used to being used as a pillow.¡±

 Chapter 209 - It Will Only Be You

    <h4>Chapter 209: It Will Only Be You</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Wanyuan blushed. Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile, she felt a little flustered.

    The chauffeur in the front row:?<i>What should I do? Will I be killed if I see what happened to the big boss? Hey, can the two of you get out of the car quickly? You¡¯re already an old couple. How can you not be tired of hugging each other? Sigh, I wonder if the mutton soup downstairs is still open. I¡¯m hungry. Hurry up and get off work. I have to eat a big bowl of mutton noodles.?</i>

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back. You must be hungry today.¡±

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embarrassment, Jun Shiling finally put down the documents in his hand and took the initiative to turn over the matter.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    They came back a littlete. Xiao Bao had always been asked by Jun Shiling to sleep and wake up early, so he had finished his dinner early. After waiting for Xia Wanyuan in a daze for a while, he was already asleep.

    Nanny Li and the rest brought the food over. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appetite waspletely aroused by the fragrance of the dishes on the table.

    Xia Wanyuan liked many of the dishes on the table, but the te of prawns was untouched.

    The Xia Dynasty was far from the sea. Xia Wanyuan had never tried seafood in her previous life, so she was naturally a little resistant to these things with shells.

    Jun Shiling looked up. He remembered that there were prawns at the seaside of Wuyishanst time. Xia Wanyuan seemed to like them.

    After a while, Jun Shiling reached out and pulled the te with the prawns in the corner in front of him.

    The pair of hands that guided the rivers and controlled the ups and downs of the business waters was still very pleasing to the eye when he peeled the prawn shell.

    After a while, a chubby piece of prawn meat appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    A secondter, it appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the prawn meat very naturally and ate it in one bite. It was fresh and sweet. The prawn meat without the shell was indeed delicious.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s impolite actions, not only was Jun Shiling not angry, but he also had a faint smile in his eyes.

    <i>After being raised for so long, Xia Wanyuan finally let go of her distance and etiquette in front of me.?</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hands didn¡¯t stop, and the prawn meat in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl never stopped increasing.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Looking at Jun Shiling skillfully peeling the prawns, Xia Wanyuan felt emotional. It was rare to see a man like Jun Shiling, who held a high position but still did not have any arrogance.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling paused and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°When I leave this ce and you meet the lover you like, she will definitely be taken care of very well by you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts came from the bottom of her heart. Although she seemed to feel a little ufortable saying this, she quickly ignored this difort.

    ¡°No,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly. He pushed away the te of prawns, took a wet wipe, and wiped his hands carefully.

    ¡°No what?¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed.

    However, Jun Shiling did not speak further. He seemed to be extremely silent, and Xia Wanyuan did not probe further.

    <i>I won¡¯t let you go.?</i>

    <i>There would be no one else.</i>

    <i>It can only be you.</i>

    <i>It will only be you.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    There was a huge balcony outside the bedroom on the second floor. At night, Xia Wanyuan was starving, and Jun Shiling kept feeding her. Xia Wanyuan had eaten too much. After showering, she felt that she couldn¡¯t sleep, so she sat on the recliner outside to digest her food.

    When Jun Shiling came out of the shower, the lights in the bedroom were already switched off.

    However, when he looked closer, there was no one on the bed. The moonlight was very good tonight. Under the moonlight, Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan lying on the recliner outside.

    ¡°Can¡¯t sleep?¡± Jun Shiling walked to the balcony.

    ¡°I think I¡¯m a little bloated.¡± Xia Wanyuan rubbed her stomach.

    Helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.<i>?It seemed like I should have watched her and not let her eat so much.?</i>

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll chat with you for a while before sleeping.¡± Jun Shiling walked to Xia Wanyuan and sat down.

    ¡°Mm, do you know how to tell stories?¡±

    Normally, Xiao Bao would always pester her to tell stories. Today, Xia Wanyuan also wanted to listen to stories.

    ¡°Legend has it that there was a heavy rainfall in the Great Song Dynasty¡­¡± The current Jun Shiling basically agreed to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request whenever she wanted.

    When Jun Shiling was giving a speech, he could bring the audience into his world. Now, even his stories were rhythmical.

    After an unknown period of time, gentle breathing finally came from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. Jun Shiling turned his head to look. The turbulent emotions that were hidden under the calmness of the day werepletely revealed at this moment.

    Soft as water and heavy as a mountain.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    [ I¡¯m anxiously waiting for the day ¡°The Long Bad¡± is updated again. ]

    [ I¡¯m so tired. In the update yesterday, I couldn¡¯t see Xia Wanyuan at all. ]

    [ Are you the fake reviewers that Xia Wanyuan hired? Can¡¯t you see the huge story structure of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯? The Heavenly Spirit Princess was originally a supporting role. The little junior sister hasn¡¯t even appeared much, but you guys danced quite happily. ]

    [ What has it got to do with you that I like to watch Xia Wanyuan? Why? Ruan Yingyu didn¡¯t act well and no one watched her. Why are you fans jumping around? ]

    [ The people in front, stop arguing. If you really like Xia Wanyuan, watch quietly. Don¡¯t attract hate for her, okay? ]

    Because many people had suddenly started to like Xia Wanyuan, some fans were more radical and sometimes posted inappropriatements on the Inte.

    No one would care if you were a person or a group of people. In the eyes of others, thesements represented the entire fan club.

    Hence, as more and more people liked Xia Wanyuan, there were more and more controversies about her.

    Some of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were busy exining to passers-by how to defame her when they saw their group leader send a message.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan¡¯s new variety show! ¡®I¡¯m a Superstar¡¯! Go quickly!¡±

    What did variety shows mean? It meant that other than television dramas, they could see their idol every week at a fixed time.

    Everyone was excited. They hurriedly ran to the official Weibo ount of ¡°I am a Superstar¡± and saw the official Weibo post.

    @ ¡®I am a Superstar¡¯: ¡°After a year of meticulous preparations, we are finally going to announce to everyone today that the variety program that focuses on the lives of celebrities and shows off the elegance of celebrities will officially meet everyone at the end of the month!! The guest participating in the first episode is @ Lin Xuan @ Zhao Ya @ Nan Jun @ Su Xiaoguo @ Xia Wanyuan. I hope that we will show everyone the most realistic and hot-blooded celebrity life together with these celebrities.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans had originally rushed to this Weibo post excitedly.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan had been considered a recluse in the entertainment industry recently. Other than a drama with a supporting role and a recent appearance in Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream, there was no news of her at all.

    This was very ufortable for some new fans who had just entered the pit. Who didn¡¯t want to see their idol more?

    However, when they saw Lin Xuan¡¯s name, everyone¡¯s anticipation stopped and turned into deep worry.

 Chapter 210 - Farewell

    <h4>Chapter 210: Farewell</h4>

    [ EMMMMMM, how did Lin Xuan get in? Hasn¡¯t she always imed to be an A-list celebrity? ]

    [ The person in front, she barely made it into the A-list in the first ce. Thest time she was pped in the face by Master Jun, who would dare to hire her to endorse a drama? She would have fallen out of the A-list rankings a long time ago. ]

    [ AHHH! Luozhi I can!! Nan Jun works too!]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really a photograph killer. It was clearly fine when everyone was alone, but when they took a photo together, Xia Wanyuan killed her instantly. How did she grow this face? Can you give me one? ]

    [ The person in front, what did Lin Xuan do to you?! No matter how bad Xuan Xuan is, she¡¯s still an all-rounder celebrity. Isn¡¯t she like some people who go and be a vase with their faces? ]

    [ Haha, don¡¯t try to be humble. While Xia Wanyuan is good-looking, don¡¯t forget that she¡¯s also an expert in the ancient zither. Her lyrics and melody are all excellent. ]

    [ No one said that it was Xia Wanyuan. Why are you making a connection? Don¡¯t tell me you think Xia Wanyuan is a pretty face too? ]

    Before the passers-by could react, thements were already arguing.

    It really went like this: two women make a scene.

    There were already four women here. The crowd expressed: Hehe, fight, fight, fight.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xuan Sheng casually leaned back on the chair. He kept spinning the fountain pen between his index and middle fingers.

    ¡°Young Master Xuan, do you think Xia Wanyuan is good-looking?¡±

    This was the first time Ruan Yingyu had seen Xuan Sheng. The extremely handsome man in front of her seemed to be a little different from the person she had imagined.

    However, when Ruan Yingyu thought of the brutal actions that she had heard from her industry insiders, her heart trembled when she met Xuan Sheng¡¯s smiling eyes.

    ¡°She¡¯s much prettier than you,¡± Xuan Sheng looked up at Ruan Yingyu and said.

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s smile froze for a moment before dissipating. ¡°Young Master Xuan, you¡¯re right.¡±

    ¡°Just say it.¡± Xuan Sheng was toozy to y with her.

    ¡°I can help you get Xia Wanyuan,¡± said Ruan Yingyu bravely.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Xuan Sheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°How?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll know when the timees.¡± Ruan Yingyu seemed to be very confident.

    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll wait. You can go.¡± Xuan Sheng seemed to have lost interest. He nced at Ruan Yingyu and knew how far away this person was from Xia Wanyuan.

    It would be strange if Xia Wanyuan, that woman, could be tricked by her.

    Ruan Yingyu left Glory World Corporation, still a little flustered. She could not tell what that Young Master Xuan was thinking, but no matter what, she could not let Xia Wanyuan ride on her head so smoothly.

    Ruan Yingyu got into the car and opened Weibo to take a look. She saw the official Weibo post of ¡°I¡¯m a Superstar¡± and thements were abuzz.

    When Ruan Yingyu saw Lin Xuan¡¯s name, a n formed in her mind. She looked at her manager. ¡°Can you contact Lin Xuan?¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After professional data monitoring, the viewership ratings of ¡°The Long Bad¡± has been steadily increasing since its broadcast, but in this steady rise, there are three very obvious high points.

    These three high spots happened to be when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Heavenly Spirit Princess appeared.

    Hence, the broadcaster also knew that Xia Wanyuan could bring about high viewership.

    After two days of drama, the viewership ratings still rose very slowly. The Heavenly Spirit Princess was going to be online tonight, so the production team hurriedly posted a reminder on Weibo.

    @ The Official Weibo ount of ¡°The Long Bad¡±: ¡°The little princess will be online at eight o¡¯clock tonight. Let¡¯s see how the little princess will choose her life after her country is destroyed?¡±

    The apanying picture was a drama photo of the Heavenly Spirit Princess with tears in her eyes.

    Although the Xia Wanyuan in the photo was basically bare-faced, she did not look the slightest bit disheveled. Her brows were dark and her lips were like cinnabar. There were tears in her eyes, making her look delicate and moving. It made one want to reach out to wipe the tears off her face and soothe the worry on her brow.

    [ The more I look at it, the more I feel that Nuwa casually used mud spots to make me. ]

    [ Although Qin Wu is very good-looking and the plot is not bad, but!!! A beauty is going to appear again! I¡¯m very happy! ]

    [ Wow, it¡¯s only now that I realize the fact that I¡¯m a dog for looks. I feel like I can watch television dramas again tonight. ]

    Many passers-by and viewers were actually watching the television drama which the news had promoted using Xia Wanyuan.

    In the end, after a few days, Xia Wanyuan appeared once. Everyone had the desire to abandon the drama. The production team¡¯s Weibo post had clearly restored the hearts of the audience.

    Hence, before the drama began today, the number of people waiting on the video tform had doubled two days ago.

    Ever since Lin Xiao brought the little princess, Shen Pei, out of the pce, he had ced her in the house of a farmer in the suburbs of Beijing to avoid being pursued by the rebels in Beijing.

    As Lin Xiao still had the mystery of his birth, he left after handing Shen Pei to the farmer couple.

    By the time he returned, a month had passed.

    ¡°Uncle, Auntie, I entrusted my sister to youst time. Where is she now?¡± Lin Xiao looked around but could not find Shen Pei, so he went to ask the farmer couple.

    ¡°That little girl is very diligent. She¡¯s washing clothes by the stream now. You can go over there and look for her.¡±

    Following the direction they pointed at, Lin Xiao walked towards the stream. From afar, he saw a graceful figure in linen clothes washing clothes by the stream.

    ¡°Your Highness?¡±

    The woman by the stream suddenly turned around. She was not wearing any makeup and was wearing a rough hemp garment. However, her beauty that was washed clean of lead had a moving power.

    ¡°Young Master Lin.¡±

    The moment Shen Pei saw Lin Xiao, she was instinctively happy. However, the serious light quickly extinguished, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.

    ¡°I came here to ask the Princess if you want to leave the capital with me? Or do you want to continue staying here?¡±

    ¡°I¡­¡± Shen Pei forced a smile. There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes as she looked at Lin Xiao, but it was mostly hatred and unwillingness towards the rebels.¡± Thank you, Young Master Lin. I¡¯ll stay in Beijing. Thank you for saving my life. It¡¯s unforgettable. ¡±

    ¡°Okay then, since Your Highness is unwilling, I have something to attend to, so I¡¯ll leave first. Goodbye!¡± Lin Xiao bowed to Shen Pei with a fist before turning to leave.

    What he couldn¡¯t see was that thest light in the Heavenly Spirit Princess¡¯s eyes had extinguished as well.

    The Heavenly Spirit Princess, who was standing by the stream, looked at the handsome figure in the distance as tears fell.

    After a long time, it became tears. The flowing stream mixed with Shen Pei¡¯s cries and echoed in the mountains.

 Chapter 211 - Live-Stream Audition

    <h4>Chapter 211: Live-Stream Audition</h4>

    In the drama, no one knew that the Heavenly Spirit Princess was crying by the stream.

    However, outside the drama, the audience had already been tortured to death. Thements were filled with tearful expressions.

    [ Oh my god, you¡¯re killing me. ]

    [ Go with him. Even if you can¡¯t be together, at least Lin Xiao is a good person. He will definitely take good care of you. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is crying so hard that my heart is breaking. Sigh, I¡¯ll fight whoever says her acting skills are bad. ]

    [ I suddenly feel that the Heavenly Spirit Princess is so pitiful. She¡¯s probably the most miserable character in the entire drama. Her parents were destroyed the moment she came out. She didn¡¯t even dare to follow the person she liked when she met him. She¡¯s too pitiful. ]

    Just as the production team had expected, because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes, the viewership ratings that night were much better than the previous few days.

    Furthermore, as the plot gradually progressed, the role of the Heavenly Spirit Princess had to be disyed on a much higher level. Her emotions were also veryplicated. When those episodes had just been broadcasted, thements that were promoting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poor acting skills hadpletely disappeared in front of iron-like facts.

    Before the broadcast, someone had once done an investigation on which female character had the highest expectations for ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    At that time, 99% of the people chose Ruan Yingyu to act as Tian Ying Er. After all, Ruan Yingyu herself walked the purest path and was somewhat simr to her little junior sister¡¯s role. Furthermore, Ruan Yingyu was also considered to be the more talented person among the new generation of flowers.

    However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Perhaps because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance had been too stunning in the television dramas that had been broadcasted over the past few days, everyone felt indifferent when they watched Ruan Yingyu¡¯s performance.

    Furthermore, there would be harm if there was aparison. Everyone felt that Ruan Yingyu¡¯s acting skills had been exaggerated a little too much, and then they realized that the person whose acting skills had been severely underestimated was actually Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s originally mud-like reputation slowly began to revolve.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    As ¡°I am a Superstar¡± was originally created by the video-streaming tform, there was no intermediate segment.

    After careful consideration by the production team, they decided to create a new talent show mode ¨C live-stream audition.

    Over the years, all sorts of variety programs had been popr in the country. The production team summarized the more popr variety programs in recent years and came up with a pattern.

    The more real something was, the more the audience liked it.

    The variety show that was extremely exquisite and had all sorts of special effects added to the post-production made the audience feel a little distant. It was beautiful, but it was difficult to move the audience¡¯s emotional experience.

    Furthermore, the life of a celebrity was very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people. The production team felt that by live-streaming to show the true side of a celebrity¡¯s life, it could bring about an unexpected effect.

    Reality proved that when they announced the selection method for ¡°I am a Superstar¡± online, it caused a very enthusiastic response. Many people developed a strong interest in this variety program.

    [ Live-streaming celebrities lives? Sure, sure. Can I see Luo Zhi¡¯s cute sleeping face? Ahhh, I¡¯m so excited. ]

    [ The format is still quite novel, but won¡¯t it be chaotic with so many live-stream scenes together? ]

    [ Can the person in front take a good look at the article posted by the production team? They already said that they will set up different live-streams. The audience can go to whichever celebrity they like. When the timees, the poprity score will decide the oue. ]

    [ Squat down first. This format is quite interesting. When will the broadcast start? ]

    [ I think the tform announced that the first episode¡¯s recording is going to start in two days. ]

    After two months, Xia Wanyuan returned to her apartment in the city center.

    The servants in the manor were seriously cleaning the apartment.

    Xia Wanyuan had only known that variety shows could also be broadcasted live after receiving Tang Yin¡¯s notice.

    Since it was a live broadcast, she definitely couldn¡¯t stay in the manor anymore. Hence, Xia Wanyuan wanted to move to the apartment toplete the recording of the variety program.

    ¡°Madam, it¡¯s all cleaned up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around. When she first came to the modern world, she did not feel that it was spacious anymore after getting used to living in the manor.

    She had agreed toe over for the shoot tomorrow morning, so Xia Wanyuan nned to stay in the apartment that night to prevent herself from rushing over tomorrow morning in a panic.

    Nanny Li was left behind to take care of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily needs while the other servants returned to the manor. Xia Wanyuan took a shower and was just about to leave the bathroom when the phone rang.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± On the screen, the fair and tender little dumpling leaned over. His big ck grape-like eyes were filled with grievance. ¡°I miss you.¡±

    ¡°Good boy. Mommy will go back and apany you after filming for two days.¡± Without the little dumpling sticking to her, Xia Wanyuan missed him a lot.

    ¡°Mommy, have you eaten?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, look at the superman I built.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, what time are you sleeping?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling was reading documents by the table, but his ears were paying attention to the conversation between Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan. Ten minutes had passed, but he had not even finished reading the first line.

    Seeing that Xiao Bao was still going to babble around with Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling finally couldn¡¯t help but look up. ¡°Jun Yin, why aren¡¯t you sleeping? Look at the time.¡±

    ¡°Oh, Mommy, I¡¯ll go to bed then. Goodnight.¡± Xiao Bao reluctantly bade Xia Wanyuan farewell.

    ¡°Okay, good night.¡± Xia Wanyuan gently waved at Xiao Bao.

    Then, Xiao Bao hung up the phone.

    ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m calling you. Come and apany me early. I¡¯m afraid of the little monster ~¡± Xiao Bao handed the phone back to Jun Shiling.

    After Xiao Bao left the study, Jun Shiling picked up his phone, wanting to speak to Xia Wanyuan.

    Then, he realized that Xiao Bao had already hung up the call.

    ¡­

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened, and he instantly wanted Jun Yin to sleep alone.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand swiped across WeChat twice. He wanted to call her, but he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan was already asleep, so he retracted his hand in the end.

    When he returned to the bedroom, Xiao Bao sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s aura and hugged him. Jun Shiling was furious and reached out to pinch his son¡¯s face.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan was right. It did feel good.?</i>

    The production team told Xia Wanyuan that it would start in the morning, but they did not say how early it was.

    At 5 am, the live-stream of ¡°I am a Superstar¡± was quietly opened.

    In the main live-stream, there were six small windows connected to the live-stream. At this moment, these six small windows were still dark.

    Only in the live-stream did something happen.

    It waste at night and there were few people on the streets. However, the production team¡¯s staff had already filed out of the television station, carrying all kinds of guns and cannons as they ran to the homes of different celebrities.

    [ Let¡¯s see what the overnight party has gotten? ]

    [ Amazing. So early? ]

    [ Brother Photographers, you¡¯ve worked hard. You¡¯re out so early. ]

    [ Wow, is this to show us how the celebrities sleep??? Can the high-definition camera take photos of Brother Nan Jun and Brother Luo Zhi for me? ]

    As the production team had already informed the property management in each district beforehand, everything progressed more smoothly.

    As the photographer¡¯s car drove into the vis, thements were already sour.

    [ Wow, it¡¯s true that celebrities are rich. I¡¯ve always heard that Luo Zhi is a rich second-generation heir. Now that I look at it, it¡¯s true. ]

    [ Lin Xuan¡¯s vi district is amazing. It¡¯s where the rich gather in the Southern Mountain Vi. Zhao Ya¡¯s Chinese vi is quite beautiful too. The sour lemon surrounds me. Why didn¡¯t I sleep in the middle of the night just to look at other people¡¯s vis? Boohoo. ]

    [ Su Xiaoguo¡¯s house is quite normal. It feels like it¡¯s simr to the district we live in. It¡¯s very down-to-earth. Wow, Brother Nan Jun¡¯s ce is so far away? ]

    [ Didn¡¯t they say that Xia Wanyuan was rich and beautiful? Why is she living in an apartment? ]

    [ The person in front, a vi doesn¡¯t represent money, okay? I suggest you investigate the location and price of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s apartment. You wille back on your knees. ]

    [ The person in front, I¡¯m back on my knees. I¡¯m ignorant! ]

    Although there were no traffic jams on the road at night and they traveled quickly, Beijing was big enough. When the various camera teams arrived at the artistes¡¯ house, it was almost seven o¡¯clock.

    ¡°Let¡¯s knock and see if they¡¯re awake.¡±

    The various film teams received orders from the producers and knocked on the doors of each artiste.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Xuan¡¯s live-stream was the first to open.

    The nanny opened the door for the photographer and the camera zoomed in. The interior of the house was more luxurious than everyone had imagined. Beside the French windows, Lin Xuan was wearing exquisite makeup and a high-end dress from the C family. She was even wearing a 10-centimeter high heels at home.

    At that moment, she was sitting on a chair and reading a book. The camera zoomed in and it was English.

    ¡°Good morning.¡± Lin Xuan suddenly raised her head as if she had just sensed the camera approaching. Her eyes were filled with surprise.

    ¡°Morning, Miss Lin, do you read so early in the morning?¡±

    ¡°Studies are more important. I¡¯m usually busy with work. I usually recharge myself when I wake up early,¡± Lin Xuan smiled modestly.

    In fact, in previous variety shows, Lin Xuan often appeared with such a persona, and she would usually receive a lot of praise.

    However, what she did not expect was that a live broadcast was meant to see the true state of the celebrities. Her actions seemed a little deliberate.

    [ Emmmm, you woke up early to read? Why don¡¯t I believe you? ]

    [ She¡¯s even wearing a 10cm high heels at home. Does she want to study or walk the runway? ]

    [ It¡¯s a little fake¡­ I better go to the live-stream next door to take a look. ]

    The second person to open the door was Luo Zhi¡¯s house. However, after a long time, the camera did not see Luo Zhi. Following the nanny¡¯s hint, the cameraman found Luo Zhi¡¯s bedroom.

    The room was filled with metallic decorations. Therge bed in the middle was arched up high. When one looked closer, they realized that Luo Zhi was sleeping on the bed.

    [ Hahahaha, he¡¯s really too cute. ]

    [ As expected, nothing can stop Luo Zhi from sleeping in. Let¡¯s see how long he can sleep under the gazes of the cameraman. ]

    Then, everyone waited to discover that Luo Zhizhen did not care if the photographer was around at all. He slept very soundly and waited for Luo Zhi to wake up. Everyone could only turn to other live-streams.

    Among the six celebrities, although Xia Wanyuan was popr on the Inte, she had the lowest number of fans. Hence, she had the least number of viewers in the live-stream.

    Coincidentally, Nanny Li opened the door for the photographer, and many people swarmed into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream.

    The camera slowly passed through the interior of the house. Only then did everyone understand why someone in front had said that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s apartment was extraordinarily expensive.

    [ I can¡¯t imagine the happiness of the rich. ]

    [ I didn¡¯t expect there to be a river in the apartment. Goodbye. I¡¯m too poor. ]

    [ This renovation is really beautiful. It¡¯s simple and generous, but it also seems a little warm. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s taste is not bad. ]

    The cameraman searched the first floor but could not find her. He followed the stairs to the second floor and saw Xia Wanyuan practicing by the window on the second floor. The camera was stunned, and so was the audience in thements.

    In the past, in the manor, Xia Wanyuan would run with Jun Shiling in the morning. There was no ce to run in the apartment, so Xia Wanyuan got up and trained in the house.

    There was a long rope in the house.

    Meanwhile, in everyone¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan had one foot on the rope. Then, she soared into the air and spun around once before standing steadily on the carpet, looking valiant and heroic.

    [??? Is this an acrobatic skill? ]

    [ Is Xia Wanyuan practicing martial arts? ]

    [ Amazing¡­ This flexibility. ]

    The photographer asked this question on behalf of the audience. Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I was just stretching my joints and doing my morning exercise.¡±

    Everyone: That¡¯s all??

    When the six of them woke uppletely, the number of viewers in the live-stream increased. Many people from other tforms heard that Orange tform could live-stream celebrities¡¯ daily lives online, so they came over.

    The live recording for the first day was not long. It was mainly to warm up and introduce the basic situation of the six celebrities to everyone, letting them understand their lives.

    As if to whet the appetite, just as everyone wanted to continue watching these celebrities¡¯ further lives, the live broadcast stopped.

    All that was left was the words ¡°See you tomorrow¡±.

    It had to be said that this move of ying hard to get was still very useful. In just a day, ¡°I¡¯m a Superstar¡±, ¡°Lin Xuan High heels¡±, ¡°Lin Xuan Studies¡±, ¡°Xia Wanyuan Morning Training¡±, ¡°Luo Zhi Laziness¡±, and many other hot searches appeared on the rankings.

    Many passers-by were intrigued. They searched for this variety show excitedly and realized that it was gone??

    They could only wait anxiously for the advancementpetition with the other audience.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had thought that the shoot would take a long time, but who would have thought that it would end in two hours? Xia Wanyuan was happy to be free. She sat on the sofa and read a day¡¯s worth of books. Just as she felt a little tired and wanted to stand up and take a walk, the doorbell suddenly rang.

    Nanny Li went to the supermarket to shop while Xia Wanyuan went to open the door herself. When she opened the door, she saw the handsome Jun Shiling standing outside with Xiao Bao¡¯s hand in his. Jun Shiling nced at her with his deep eyes, looking a little bitter for some reason.

    ¡°Why are you guys here?¡±

    ¡°He insisted oning to look for you. I had no choice but to send him here,¡± Jun Shiling exined before Xiao Bao could speak.

    Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.?<i>I had already promised Mommy that I would be the most obedient child. I was not going to make a scene.</i>

    Xiao Bao was about to argue for himself when Jun Shiling picked him up and walked into the house.

    ¡°Daddy will allow you to buy a snack tomorrow. What do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°I want to eat White Rabbit Creamy Candy!! Daddy, you¡¯re the best!!¡± Xiao Bao, who had been blinded by the snacks, hadpletely forgotten what he had wanted to say.

 Chapter 214 - Cough, I Cant Hold On

    <h4>Chapter 214: Cough, I Can¡¯t Hold On</h4>

    When Nanny Li returned with a pile of things, she saw that the originally empty house was lively.

    After stuffing the supplies into the fridge, Nanny Li received a message from the manor.

    In the living room, Xiao Bao was ying with the little ne while Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and ate fruits.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam, I want to take a leave. My partner fell at home identally and my children are not by his side. He called me and asked me to go back and take care of him.¡± Nanny Li walked out of the kitchen looking very anxious.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go back. We can order takeout ourselves.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a strawberry and put it in her mouth, agreeing to Nanny Li¡¯s leave.

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Madam.¡± With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s permission, Nanny Li left the apartment.

    There were only three people left in the house.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, what do you want to eat?¡± After reading the entire book, Xia Wanyuan closed the book and looked at Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Mommy, I want to eat the noodles you made.¡± Xiao Bao kept ying with the toys in his hands. He thought of the delicious shredded meat noodles that Xia Wanyuan had madest time and drooled.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan entered the kitchen and Jun Shiling brought the little dumpling to the sofa.

    ¡°Daddy, what are you doing?¡± Xiao Bao waved his arms and legs in the air as he looked at Jun Shiling usingly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think about eating this and that every day in the future. Your mother has worked hard. Don¡¯t let her cook for you, do you hear me?¡±

    Upon hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xiao Bao stopped pping his arms. His big eyes were filled with self-reproach. ¡°Okay, Daddy.¡±

    ¡°Go and y.¡± After Jun Shiling warned Xiao Bao, he stood up and walked to the kitchen.

    In the kitchen, Xia Wanyuan was putting water in the pot and preparing to bring it to the stove.

    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Jun Shiling strode over and stood beside Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was boiling water, Xia Wanyuan wanted to wash the vegetables. Before her hand could touch them, Jun Shiling¡¯s hand had already reached over.

    ¡°Why are you using your hands that y the zither to wash the vegetables?¡±

    ¡­¡­.

    Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, ¡®<i>This is also the hand that signs contracts worth billions¡¯.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was about to cut the vegetables when Jun Shiling took the knife.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to get the bowl, but Jun Shiling blocked the door.

    ¡°Can¡¯t I even pick up a pair of chopsticks?¡± Xia Wanyuan was helpless.

    ¡°Okay, take it.¡± Jun Shiling made way for her, and Xia Wanyuan realized that Jun Shiling had already arranged the cutlery.

    Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to advise Jun Shiling verbally.

    ¡°Wow! Mommy, you¡¯re finally done!¡± Xiao Bao, whose stomach was rumbling, finally saw Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan appear at the kitchen door.

    Xiao Bao eagerly sat on the chair, picked up a chopstick of noodles, and fed it to his mouth.

    <i>Huh? Why does it not taste right?</i>

    Xiao Bao was about to speak when he received Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. He quietly swallowed the noodles in his mouth and ate them obediently.

    Although it could notpare to what Xia Wanyuan had made herself, Xia Wanyuan had been guiding him from the side. The taste was also not bad. The three of them finished the pot of noodles.

    The child digested quickly. Xiao Bao bounced around until he was tired. Hey on the bed and fell asleep. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were still sitting on the balcony.

    The moon was as cold as water and the lights were as bright as stars.

    ¡°Have you forgotten that you promised me something?¡± Jun Shiling suddenly asked.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going topose a song for mest time?¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan recalled that she had indeed agreed to Jun Shiling¡¯s request the previous time. In the end, she had been too busy these days and had been dyed.

    ¡°Let me think of the lyrics for you first.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. Just y a casual piece. It¡¯s fine as long as it¡¯s different from others.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± In order to deal with the production team of ¡°I am a Superstar¡±, Xia Wanyuan had specially brought Feng Xiqin with her when she came to the apartment. Xia Wanyuan got up to go get the zither and returned not long after.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the ground and ced the zither on herp. She casually made a tune, and a soothing melody spilled out of the simple zither.

    That sense of history came again. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were deep. There were a few times when Xia Wanyuan gave him a sense of history that exceeded the limits of time and space. She was so graceful, noble, and elegant.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped her fingers, and the light melody surrounded Jun Shiling, making him rx.

    Xia Wanyuan hummed softly to the tune.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan beside him.

    If one were to say that Xia Wanyuan, who had smiled and said happy birthday to him in front of ten thousandnterns, was as scorching as the sun.

    Those countless peaceful moments were like a warm breeze in spring, gently blowing into his heart, making him infatuated with this faint but bone-deep gentleness.

    ¡°Alright, are you satisfied?¡± Ten minutester, Xia Wanyuan put down the zither in her hand.

    ¡°Although I¡¯ve heard you y the zither a few times, you¡¯re still very amazing this time,¡± Jun Shiling said rather seriously.

    Jun Shiling spoke sincerely, making Xia Wanyuan very happy. A small dimple appeared on her face.

    She ced the zither aside and was about to stand up when she felt a numbing sensation in her legs and sat back down.

    Jun Shiling sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s difort and hurriedly walked to her. ¡°Is your leg numb?¡±

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s probably because I sat here to y and didn¡¯t move much, so my leg is numb.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to say that she would be fine after a short rest when she saw Jun Shiling squatting down.

    ¡°Bear with it.¡± Just as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling reached out and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calves and ankles, helping her push and pull with great strength.

    After a person¡¯s legs turned numb, even the slightest movement would make them itch, let alone Jun Shiling¡¯srge actions.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a numbing pain that pierced straight into her heart. Although she didn¡¯t want to cry, the pain still made her eyes tear up.

    ¡°It hurts. Be gentler.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but call out softly. Her delicate voice had a hint of trembling.

    Jun Shiling looked up and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s teary eyes. Under the light, they were mesmerizing.

    The hand holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle suddenly tightened. Jun Shiling¡¯s throat rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse. ¡°Speak properly.¡±

    ¡°But you¡¯re hurting me a little.¡± Xia Wanyuan was still conflicted about Jun Shiling¡¯s strength. As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

    She did not notice that Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes had darkened.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan,¡± Jun Shiling called out softly.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion, only to see Jun Shiling approaching her. In the end, he stopped when their noses were almost touching.

    ¡°Do you trust me too much?¡± Jun Shiling stared intently into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. Only then did Xia Wanyuan notice the mes that were about to burn in his eyes and the warmth that was about to burn her ankle by his touch.

 Chapter 215 - Kissed

    <h4>Chapter 215: Kissed</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had never eaten pork before, but she had seen pigs run before.

    After piecing together what she had just said, Xia Wanyuan immediately understood what Jun Shiling meant. Her face flushed red.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up in a panic to exin, but she had forgotten that Jun Shiling was only a foot away from her.

    A moist heat came from his chin. The mes in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were about to dissipate, but they immediately lit up and his breathing instantly became heavy.

    ¡°Is this considered a provocation?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was already extremely hoarse. The hand holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle was sweating from extreme restraint.

    ¡°No, I¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly shrank back, but the numbness in her legs was still there. Xia Wanyuan fell back into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes.

    This pull fixed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s swaying body and removed all of Jun Shiling¡¯s self-control.

    Jun Shiling held her ankle with one hand and did not move. His other hand raised her chin. Before Xia Wanyuan could react, Jun Shiling¡¯s overwhelming aura had already swept towards her.

    ¡°Mm¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but she had already fallen into a heatwave.

    In the past, Jun Shiling was a gentleman and abided by the rules. At this moment, it was as if he had released all his power and influence, forcefully seizing everything in front of him that he could not control.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know when he had knocked on her tongue, but she felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s scent was printed everywhere.

    After some time, Xia Wanyuan felt that she could not even breathe. All her strength seemed to have been sucked out. Xia Wanyuan weakly pushed Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling, who felt as if the volcano in his heart was burning higher and higher, finally realized Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation. He could only force himself to move away from the world that had fascinated him.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and panted for a while. She realized that the numbness in her feet had almost disappeared.

    Xia Wanyuan brushed away Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was on her. ¡°Calm down first.¡± Then, she stood up and left the terrace without looking at Jun Shiling.

    The warmth in his arms left. Jun Shiling clenched his fists in frustration, ming himself for not being able to control himself.

    He looked worriedly at Xia Wanyuan, who had left. His heart was in a mess, and he didn¡¯t know if Xia Wanyuan would be angry with him.

    However, as he was vexed, he could not help but think of everything that had made him lose his armor and lose his self-control.

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips, the sweet scent of Xia Wanyuan still lingering on them.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flustered gaze when she left, hope rose in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    <i>No matter what, I did not see any disgust in those eyes. Perhaps, the situation was better than I had imagined?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan barely maintained herposure in Jun Shiling¡¯s line of sight. However, the moment she turned the corner, Xia Wanyuan could not hide her panic and shyness.

    After locking herself in the bathroom, Xia Wanyuan thought that she would see her disheveled self. In the end, she saw the person in the mirror. Her face was pink and her red lips were swollen. It was obvious what had just happened.

    The corners of her lips had even torn a little from Jun Shiling¡¯s intense actions. Even if Xia Wanyuan moved slightly, she could smell the strong aura that belonged to Jun Shiling on her, causing her to panic.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-

 Chapter 216 - Master Jun Sadly Sleeping in the Guest Room

    <h4>Chapter 216: Master Jun Sadly Sleeping in the Guest Room</h4>

    Jun Shiling thought of all the possible situations that Xia Wanyuan might face and imagined how he would deal with them. He was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would leave him because he had crossed the line this time.

    Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Xia Wanyuan was flipping through the app ¡°Knowledge¡± and epting all kinds of modern knowledge on rtionships.

    Speaking of which, this app was something she had learned when she searched for variety programs online. She had seen theizens¡¯ rmendations that they could search ON it if they had any problems. Hence, she downloaded one and it proved that it was not bad.

    Hence, the flustered her immediately searched through the search bar.

    ¡°When I was alone with a man¡­¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish typing, a series of rted questions had already appeared.

    Xia Wanyuan was shocked. So many people had encountered such a problem before.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on a question ¡°When I was alone with a man, why did he suddenly kiss me?¡±

    There were close to a thousand answers to this question.

    Xia Wanyuan did not notice the detailed question description that had been folded up. Instead, she directly clicked on the bright reply that had 20,000 likes.

    ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s very normal. A man and a woman alone. You have to know that men, male animals, rely on that to think. What if we meet a slightly beautiful woman in the dark night and have some skin contact or something? It¡¯s very normal to not be able to resist. It¡¯s a normal reaction. Don¡¯t think too much. He¡¯s not interested in you.¡±

    Seeing thisment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flustered heart slowly calmed down.?<i>So that was the reason.</i>

    <i>It was indeedte at night and I was only wearing a nightgown. Besides, I¡¯m considered pretty, so it was normal for Jun Shiling to be impulsive.</i>

    As if she had finally foundfort in her panic, Xia Wanyuan finally rxed.

    There seemed to be a button to scroll down below. Xia Wanyuan was about to continue reading when someone knocked on the door. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly closed the ¡°Knowledge¡± interface and stood up to walk out.

    As for the reply that she had turned off, if she scrolled down a little, the second half of thements would appear.

    ¡°!!! I¡¯m not sour!! Thements above are from the bottom of my heart!! He¡¯s just interested in you at thest minute!!! Lemon Lemon Lemon Boohoo, okay, I¡¯m sour. Your question description already said that he¡¯s usually extremely restrained and very principled. He¡¯s someone who can even abandon a beauty whoes to his door!!! In the end, when he¡¯s alone with you, he can¡¯t help it because of a smile from you. Isn¡¯t this f*cking love!!! What kind of passion can make a man who usually restrained himself lose control?!! I¡¯m too sour. I moved the Civil Affairs Bureau over. I order you to marry him immediately!¡±

    Unfortunately, Xia Wanyuan did not see thisment at all.

    ¡°I saw that you weren¡¯t in the bedroom, so I came to see if there was anything wrong.¡± Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan walk out with a normal expression. Clearly, he did not expect her to recover so quickly.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Although she had just mentally prepared herself, standing in front of Jun Shiling still made Xia Wanyuan unavoidably think of that fiery temperature.

    ¡°Just now¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling was about to speak when Xia Wanyuan cut him off.

    ¡°It was my fault just now. I didn¡¯t know my limits. Let¡¯s keep a distance in the future. You can sleep in the guest room tonight.¡±

 Chapter 217 - Master Jun Appears in the Live Stream

    <h4>Chapter 217: Master Jun Appears in the Live Stream</h4>

    Jun Shiling was usually a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he followed the rules strictly. When he interacted with Xia Wanyuan, he always restrained the aura around him, gradually making people feel that Jun Shiling should be such a gentle and restrained person.

    However, the power that Jun Shiling had just erupted made Xia Wanyuan realize that he was a powerful person. If a powerful man still had no boundaries, it would be inappropriate.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded very calmly.

    ¡°Then hurry up and go.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to tell Jun Shiling to go to bed when Jun Shiling raised her chin gently. The warmth of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand made her eyes widen in surprise.

    ¡°The corner of your lips is torn.¡± Jun Shiling leaned closer and frowned when he saw the wound on the corner of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go to sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt the temperature beside her rising again.

    ¡°Let me apply some medicine for you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with disapproval and frustration at his actions.

    ¡°There¡¯s really no need. Go and sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that tonight was too strange. The temperature in the air was rising when she was with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Be good, listen to me.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded by her ear,pletely triggering the blush in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears.

    ¡°Goodnight, go to sleep.¡± Jun Shiling was still thinking of getting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s medicine when he was pushed out of the door by Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the door close in front of him with a bang, Jun Shiling touched the tip of his nose in silence. Then, his eyes were filled with strong adoration and a smile.

    <i>It was good that she was shy and knew how to throw a tantrum.</i>

    Lying in the bedroom next door, Jun Shiling felt that tonight was an extremely sweet night, but at the same time, he felt that it was the most miserable night in the past two months.

    After tossing and turning the entire night, Jun Shiling only fell asleep leisurely when the sky was about to brighten.

    The bedsheets in the bedroom had a faint fragrance that was simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. When he was dazed, it had a calming effect.

    Xiao Bao needed to go to school, and before long, the recording team for ¡°I am a Superstar¡± was going toe.

    Xia Wanyuan brought Xiao Bao to wash up. When they were done packing and went downstairs to eat breakfast, Jun Shiling was nowhere to be seen.

    ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s usual habits, Xia Wanyuan thought that Jun Shiling should have woken up very early to go to work, so she instructed Nanny Li to prepare only their meals.

    Not long after sending Xiao Bao into the car, the production team for ¡°I¡¯m a Superstar¡± arrived.

    Today was the official start of the preliminary round of ¡°I am a Superstar¡±.

    The production team prepared some improvised challenges for the guests to do and distributed them ording to the results.

    At the same time, in the live-stream, the audience could use a Like in their hands to choose the celebrity they liked. This Like number would also be converted into a certain number of points that would be recorded for the total number of points.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan greeted the camera.

    [ Ahhh, I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here. I specially set an rm to visit you today. Yuan Yuan, praise me! ]

    [ It¡¯s so early. Has Xia Wanyuan put on makeup? She looks like she is bare-faced, but why are her eyebrows so dark and her lips so moist? ]

    [ The person in front, beautiful women are given food by God. I specialize in makeup. Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have makeup on at first nce. This is probably called natural beauty. ]

    [ Boohoo, I want to see a beauty do her makeup. Shall we arrange it? ]

    At that moment, an envelope was handed to Xia Wanyuan on camera. Xia Wanyuan flipped it open and saw that it was a mission given to her by the production team. Since she was an idol celebrity, she had to have outstanding talent.

    The first task was topose an original song before 12 o¡¯clock. This song needed to include a melody given in the envelope.

    Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it. She felt that it was not difficult, so she ced the envelope aside.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you guys want to see makeup? I¡¯ll go wash my face and put on makeup.¡±

    Thements were filled with cheers.

    At that moment, the screen of the live-stream room was printed with six small live-stream interface.

    It was easy topose a song, but to incorporate a melody that had already taken shape was not easy. One had to consider the harmony of the melody and write out their own highlight.

    The other five were looking for information, reading books, ying and singing to find inspiration for the song.

    Only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream was special because she was putting on makeup.

    [ Even if you can¡¯t do it, can¡¯t you pretend to be hardworking? You¡¯re too arrogant. ]

    [ I remember that Xia Wanyuan ys the zither pretty well. Didn¡¯t the live-streamposing get popr a while ago? ]

    [ Haha, I¡¯ve always felt that there was something wrong with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lyrics and songs. It looks like she hired a ghostwriter. Now, she¡¯s exposed. ]

    [ The person in front, if you don¡¯t need your eyes, donate them to someone who needs them. At that time, it was also live-streamed the entire time online. It was basically an impromptu performance. ]

    [ Then why is she putting on makeup here and notposing a song properly? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t our Yuan Yuan outstanding enough to write good lyrics without any preparation? ]

    [ Haha, fans nowadays can really brainwash themselves. If Xia Wanyuan can advance from this round, I¡¯ll eat up myputer. ]

    Thements were noisy and surprisingly gained poprity.

    Because the style of the live-stream was different from others, many people ran over with the mentality of joining in the fun.

    [ I¡¯m so looking forward to Yuan Yuan¡¯s makeup. Quick, quick, I want to learn! ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skin was good. After washing her face, she could not find any pores when the camera closed up on her face.

    [ Hiss, I¡¯m so envious of her skin. Did she grow up drinking dew? ]

    There was a lot of cosmetics on the table, but Xia Wanyuan only took a few boxes from them and used some foundation. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skin was already fair enough. Using too much powder would only weaken her original beauty.

    She used the eyebrow pencil to draw the willow leaf curved eyebrows, took out some lipstick, and pressed it on her lips, pursing her lips gently.

    ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at the camera. Her hair was tied into a bun, and her eyebrows were beautiful. Her lips were bright, and her teeth were bright.

    [???? You call this makeup? ]

    [ I get it. A beauty¡¯s makeup looks good even when casually applied. ]

    [ Boohoo, boohoo, I beg you not to smile anymore. You¡¯re smiling so hard that even a girl like me is tempted. ]

    [ I¡¯m sorry. How confident am I toe and watch a beauty teach me how to put on makeup? If I look like this, I¡¯ll probably look charming even if I put ashes on my face. ]

    At this moment, the other five live-streams were filled with anxiety. On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, everyone was teasing each other. Many viewers slowly flooded in from other ces.

    There was still quite some time until 12 o¡¯clock. Thinking that there were still some snacks in the cab in the bedroom next door, Xia Wanyuan went upstairs to get some. The photographer followed her upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door and saw Jun Shiling sitting by the bed reading a magazine.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly closed the door behind her, leaving the live-stream filled with question marks.

 Chapter 218 - Quick Composing in Six Minutes

    <h4>Chapter 218: Quick Composing in Six Minutes</h4>

    The photographer followed a step behind Xia Wanyuan, who was blocking the door. Hence, they only had time to take a photo of a corner of the room. Everyone was about to say that they should take a closer look to see what the rich person¡¯s bedroom looked like when the screen went dark.

    [????? What¡¯s going on? ]

    [ Wow, could there be someone hiding in the house? ]

    [ Why is the door closed? Is there anything shameful in the house? ]

    [ Open the door, isn¡¯t this a live broadcast? What is going on? I didn¡¯te to watch the ck screen, okay? ]

    Inside the room now,

    ¡°You didn¡¯t go to work?¡± Xia Wanyuan closed the door and asked Jun Shiling in surprise.

    ¡°I need to sleep on a familiar bed. I didn¡¯t sleep wellst night.¡± Jun Shiling leisurely put down the magazine in his hand. ¡°I woke up a littlete. I saw that you had already started filming, so I didn¡¯t go out.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a videographer waiting outside. Can you wait on the balcony for a while?¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want the headlines to be blown up by her and Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Jun Shiling said as he stood up. Then, he picked up a tube of ointment from the cab beside him and looked deeply at the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. ¡°Apply it.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan received the ointment, she realized that Jun Shiling had asked her to apply it on the small wound on her mouth. Her earlobe immediately burned.

    Jun Shiling noticed the color in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears and a smile appeared in his eyes.

    Just as thements were filled with all sorts of guesses, the door was finally opened.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t put away some clothes. I was too anxious, so I had to close the door and tidy up before showing everyone the bedroom.¡±

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes had a perfect apologetic look, and her face was still slightly flushed.

    The videographer followed her into the house. Everything was normal in the house. Only then did everyone believe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    After taking the things, Xia Wanyuan quickly left the bedroom with the camera team. Jun Shiling walked into the house from the balcony and saw two small bags of bread on the cab.

    Warmth appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he took the bread and ate it as breakfast.

    Xia Wanyuan took the snacks and opened the Happy Sheep and the Gray Wolf. Amidst the question marks on thements, she quietly watched them.

    Hence, while the other five live-streams were in a frenzy ofposing and lyrics, in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream interface, a few fluffy whitembs and gray tigers were fighting wits and courage.

    [ I think the person who was pushed in is not in the selectionpetition? Why is she showing the sheep cartoon? ]

    [ The person in front, don¡¯t ask. We won¡¯t know even if you ask¡­ This Xia Wanyuan is very unique. ]

    [ She¡¯s just ying to the gallery. Let¡¯s see if she can still smile when the results are verifiedter. ]

    [ The person in front, how do you know she can¡¯tugh? Don¡¯t let yourself be the one who can¡¯tughter. ]

    [ It smells so good. A beautiful woman is so pleasing to the eye even when she¡¯s eating potato chips. Let¡¯s stop talking. I¡¯m going downstairs to buy potato chips. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was already extremely good-looking. In addition, she had never eaten modern snacks in the past, so she had always tried modern snacks with a novel mentality.

    When she felt that it was delicious, her eyes would light up slightly. When a small potato chip entered her mouth, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up as if she was extremely satisfied.

    As the people in the live-stream watched, they salivated.?<i>Are potato chips that delicious?!! Forget it, I¡¯ll buy them too!!</i>

    Hence, on that day, the sales of potato chips in a certain gship store on the Inte suddenly increased. The marketing department studied for a long time and realized that the increase in sales came from a video of a certain female celebrity.

    The team from the marketing department, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately thought of a very good advertising method.

    It was as if everyone was watching a daily routine. They watched Xia Wanyuan put on makeup, eat snacks, and watch cartoons. Unknowingly, time slowly approached eleven o¡¯clock.

    The other live-streams had basicallypleted their missions and were currently finishing up their songs.

    The audience was already beginning to panic. Xia Wanyuan finally put down the snacks in her hand, wiped her hands, and walked to the window.

    She first yed a piece ording to the melody in the envelope.

    As the melodious sound of the zither rang out, everyone realized that Xia Wanyuan did not only know how to eat potato chips.

    After ying once, Xia Wanyuan stopped and thought for about two minutes. Then, she raised her hand, and an extremely smooth zither sound immediately sounded.

    When she yed the middle portion, everyone heard a familiar melody, which was the melody mentioned in the envelope that had to be included.

    Three minutester, aplete song was done. Even those who did not know music could tell that the melody was very smooth and natural.

    Xia Wanyuan took the book by the side and thought for a moment before picking up a pen and starting to write the lyrics.

    Another three minutester, the paper was filled with words.

    The camera cut to take a look and the elegant and fresh words entered everyone¡¯s eyes. Before they could read the content, the words that seemed to be printed with an ancient charm dazzled everyone.

    [ I timed it. It¡¯s only six minutes. She finished the melody and lyrics in six minutes? ]

    [ Is this real? I¡¯m shocked. ]

    [ I¡¯m shocked too, but let¡¯s just say one thing. She really ys the zither very well. ]

    [ Didn¡¯t you guys notice Xia Wanyuan¡¯s good handwriting!!!! Who said that Xia Wanyuan was uncultured!! Come out and I¡¯ll beat him to death! ]

    [ Speed doesn¡¯t necessarily mean quality, right? We still have to wait for the expert team¡¯s evaluation. Isn¡¯t it too early to brag about her? ]

    Not long after, it was time for the production team to check the results. Xia Wanyuan handed over the score and lyrics.

    In order to show the professionalism of the evaluation, the works of the artists would be sent to the expert team for evaluation. At the same time, there would be a voting channel on Weibo.

    In the end, ording to the evaluation of the expert team, the number of votes on Weibo, and the poprity score of the live-stream, the eventual rankings were released.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s style was too unique. The moment the recording for this episode ended, the topic of Xia Wanyuan became trending.

    In the apartment, after the camera team left, Jun Shiling finally walked out of the bedroom.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do it. Just teach me how to cook.¡± Jun Shiling had appeared in the kitchen at some point in time and snatched the things from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    A familiar scent lingered around her. Once again, Xia Wanyuan felt as if she was surrounded by Jun Shiling¡¯s scent.

    Passing the food in her hand to Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan sat aside and guided him verbally.

    The head of the Jun family, who controlled the global economy with one hand and could cause an earthquake in the business world with a wave of his hand, stood in the kitchen and washed the vegetables seriously. There was a different charm to him.

    Jun Shiling turned on the tap, washed the vegetables, and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Can you roll up my sleeves for me?¡±

    As he spoke, he raised his wrist. His hand was wet.

    Xia Wanyuan walked closer and unbuttoned Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeves, rolling it up.

 Chapter 219 - The Princess Teases Master Jun

    <h4>Chapter 219: The Princess Teases Master Jun</h4>

    Normally, Xia Wanyuan would not feel ufortable.

    But afterst night, Xia Wanyuan rolled up Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeves and could not help but feel the warmth from his body.

    The heat was intense.

    It made her involuntarily think of Jun Shiling¡¯s heavy breathing in her earst night and his aggressive possession.

    After rolling up her sleeves, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears werepletely red.

    Jun Shiling watched as the glow deepened in front of him, and his eyes gradually darkened.

    ¡°Is it very hot?¡± Jun Shiling suddenly asked.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw the obvious smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. She immediately knew that Jun Shiling was teasing her.

    Xia Wanyuan had never experienced love between a man and a woman. Facing Jun Shiling¡¯s deliberate attack, even though she seemed a little reserved and embarrassed at the beginning.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personality was extremely unyielding. Once suppressed to a certain extent, she would begin to counterattack.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had already retracted her hand, suddenly grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. Sensing the warmth in his arm, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    However, he saw a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. There was even a hint of charm in them. She beckoned Jun Shiling toe closer.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened. He subconsciously approached Xia Wanyuan.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She tiptoed and approached Jun Shiling¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you hot?¡±

    The warm air that was slightly moist pounced on his ear, and the faint fragrance of Xia Wanyuan lingered at the tip of his nose. It reminded Jun Shiling of the intimate touchst night, and Jun Shiling instantly felt his entire body heat up.

    However, before Jun Shiling could react, Xia Wanyuan quickly let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and took a step back. There was no charm in her eyes, only a clear smile.

    ¡°It looks like CEO Jun is pretty hot too. I think that the food you cookedst night was pretty good. I don¡¯t think I need to teach you anymore.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan left the kitchen.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gradually disappearing back with a rare look of surprise in his eyes.

    <i>Am I asking for trouble?</i>

    However, Xia Wanyuan had once again refreshed his understanding of her. He had originally thought that she was an aloof cat, but he did not expect that when provoked, the cat would also stretch out its ws to retaliate.

    Without Xia Wanyuan¡¯s guidance, Jun Shiling did not know how to cook other dishes. After all, this was the second time he had cooked in 25 years, and the first time wasst night.

    Jun Shiling could only think back to the steps Xia Wanyuan had taught him to make the dishesst night and follow his memory to make them.

    ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡±

    Jun Shiling scooped the rice onto the table and called Xia Wanyuan over to eat.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and took a look. ¡°CEO Jun¡¯s skills are indeed not bad.¡± Jun Shilingughed.?<i>I guess she¡¯s still angry.</i>

    ¡°I apologize with tea in ce of wine. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± Jun Shiling raised his cup at Xia Wanyuan. The smile in his eyes disappeared, making him look extremely sincere.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not a petty person and nodded.

    ¡°Try what I made. Does it suit your taste?¡± Jun Shiling picked up some food for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°CEO Jun¡¯s meal is worth a thousand gold coins.¡±

    Helplessness appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but there was also more anticipation and joy.

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to be more lively in front of him now.

 Chapter 220 - Xia Yu was Beaten

    <h4>Chapter 220: Xia Yu was Beaten</h4>

    Only less than a third of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s drama had been broadcasted, and the variety program had just begun. Chen Yun and Tang Yin had never thought that they would receive an invitation to promote the product so quickly.

    Although it was only an invitation to promote, the other party was very famous. It was an internationally famous potato chip sales brand.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current status, being able to receive this product¡¯s promotion was a very good thing for her. After discussion, Chen Yun and Tang Yin agreed to this promotion invitation.

    There were too many things to do in the Jun Corporation. In just half a day, there were many documents that needed Jun Shiling¡¯s approval.

    Lin Jing had no choice but to call Jun Shiling. After lunch, Jun Shiling left the apartment.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to take a nap, but she received a call from Xia Yu¡¯s school.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the office of the dean of Di Fan University, the dean was fuming with anger at the two people standing in front of him.

    ¡°You¡¯re all students from Di Fan University. Can¡¯t you talk things out properly? Why must you fight? Both of you review this properly!! As students, should you be this impulsive?!¡±

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have.¡± Ruan Nian hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

    ¡°I should, he has a cheap mouth. He deserves to be beaten up.¡± Xia Yu pursed his lips, but the wound on his lips twitched and he sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain.

    ¡°You!¡± The dean was angered by Xia Yu¡¯s unrepentant attitude. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

    A middle-aged couple in exquisite clothes walked in and bowed to the dean. ¡°Hello, Dean.¡±

    ¡°Hello, you must be Ruan Nian¡¯s parents. Ruan Nian got into a gang fight in school and caused a bad influence.¡± The dean had always been impartial. He did not care about Ruan Nian¡¯s parents¡¯ background and immediately scolded them.

    Ruan Nian¡¯s parents looked at Ruan Nian reproachfully and turned to listen to the dean¡¯s lecture humbly.

    ¡°We¡¯ll definitely educate him properly when we get back. You¡¯ve worked hard. Let¡¯s treat you to dinner. It¡¯s also a token of our sincerity.¡± Finally, after the dean finished his long speech, his parents heaved a sigh of relief and invited the dean.

    ¡°Where do you think this is?¡± Seeing how Ruan Nian¡¯s parents looked indifferent after what he had said for a long time and even wanted to bribe him now, the dean suddenly felt that with such parents, it was no wonder that they would have a child like Ruan Nian.

    Just as they were in a deadlock, the door was suddenly pushed open.

    Everyone in the room looked towards the door and was stunned.

    Xia Yu pulled down his sleeves to cover the wound on his body and called out unnaturally, ¡°Sister.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    On the phone, Di Fan had only informed her to hurry over. She didn¡¯t expect to see Xia Yu covered in wounds the moment she arrived and her expression turned cold.

    ¡°You¡¯re Xia Yu¡¯s parent? He got into a fight and the school is preparing to punish him.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to ask Xia Yu.

    ¡°Who asked him to have such a cheap mouth?¡± Xia Yu¡¯s exquisite face was bruised a few times. Because Xia Wanyuan hade, his eyes were filled with anger and grievance, making him look pitiful.

    ¡°What did I say? It¡¯s the truth. Aren¡¯t you a bastard? How can you be siblings? Who knows what your rtionship is?¡±

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan entered, Ruan Nian¡¯s gaze was glued to her.

    Although he was a student, he did not live in school at all. He had been hanging out with so-called society people for a long time, and his words were extremely frivolous.

 Chapter 221 - The Princesss Domineering Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 221: The Princess¡¯s Domineering Revenge</h4>

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Ruan Nian and meet a pair of eyes that revealed obvious lust.

    Ruan Nian¡¯s parents did not control their son¡¯s actions at all. Instead, they defended him.

    ¡°Our son is young and insensible. You¡¯re already an adult, don¡¯t be calctive with him.¡±

    With his parents backing him, Ruan Nian became even more arrogant. ¡°We were just casually sparring. Who would have thought that Xia Yu¡¯s body was so weak? You can¡¯t me me for this.¡±

    ¡°Bullsh*t! If you didn¡¯t bring more than ten people to beat me up¡­¡± Halfway through his sentence, Xia Yu received the strict gaze of the dean and retracted his hand.¡± beat me up together, would I have let a piece of trash like you beat me up?! ¡±

    Ruan Nian had actually nned this for a long time.

    After Xia Yu entered Cat¡¯s Tooth Live-stream, he had been unstoppable and had be the most popr broadcaster on the Cat¡¯s Tooth tform. His skills and looks had attracted arge number of Ruan Nian¡¯s fans.

    Initially, at Di Fan University, everyone knew that he, Ruan Nian, was a very popr broadcaster. In the end, he became Xia Yu¡¯s apaniment. When everyone spoke of Ruan Nian, they felt like they were watching a joke. Ruan Nian hated him to the core.

    Coupled with the recent broadcast of the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡±, everyone online praised Xia Wanyuan. Ruan Yingyu, who was originally the female lead, was ignored. Ruan Yingyu often cursed Xia Wanyuan at home, making Ruan Nian hate the siblings even more.

    Hence, that morning, Ruan Nian had contacted his brothers in advance to wait for Xia Yu at the court. Knowing that Xia Yu was defending Xia Wanyuan, Ruan Nian said a few dirty words about Xia Wanyuan, which immediately ignited Xia Yu¡¯s anger.

    This was what Ruan Nian wanted. After all, Xia Yu was the one who had started themotion at the school. He was just defending himself.

    Xia Yu and his roommates couldn¡¯tpare to the other party¡¯s dozen or so people. However, Xia Yu was ruthless and had the wildness of a wolf, which made the other party suffer quite a bit.

    Although the price was Xia Yu himself being injured.

    Xia Wanyuan saw Ruan Nian¡¯s expression and roughly guessed what had happened. She stepped forward and pulled Xia Yu¡¯s hand. The bruises on his arm were shocking.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression instantly turned cold.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a small injury. If they didn¡¯t have so many people, I would have definitely beaten him until he spat out his dog teeth.¡± Xia Yu retracted his hand nonchntly. Because it affected his wound, he frowned in pain.

    ¡°Why are you hitting people the moment you open your mouth? Parents like you must¡­¡± Seeing Xia Yu start talking about the fight again, the dean tried to persuade Xia Wanyuan. However, unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan suddenly moved halfway.

    Ruan Nian was still looking at the full curves of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chest lustfully.

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned around and kicked him off the chair.

    No one present had expected Xia Wanyuan to suddenly do this. Ruan Nian¡¯s parents reacted and hurriedly pulled Xia Wanyuan. However, Xia Wanyuan was much faster than them and pushed Ruan Nian¡¯s arms inwards.

    Ruan Nian clearly heard the sound of bones breaking in his arm and immediately screamed.

    ¡°Stop screaming. If you continue screaming, it won¡¯t be as simple as a fracture. If you don¡¯t want your hand anymore, continue screaming.¡±

    When she entered, she saw that Xia Yu was covered in injuries, while Ruan Nian was fair and clean. There were no wounds at all. Since he was the one who started the matter, she should make him suffer.

    Xia Wanyuan knew her limits. It hurt a lot to have his arm broken, but the injury was not serious. It was just that it would take a hundred days for Ruan Nian to properly use his hands.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice, Ruan Nian hurriedly shut his mouth. However, the pain of his bones breaking was practically drilling into his heart. Ruan Nian¡¯s face was filled with hideous pain.

    ¡°Is there still anyw?!!!¡± Ruan Nian¡¯s parents were shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. They wanted to go forward but were afraid that Ruan Nian¡¯s arm would hurt.

    ¡°Apologize to Xia Yu,¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice sounded.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Ruan Nian was in a daze from the pain. He just wanted Xia Wanyuan to let him off quickly, so he did whatever Xia Wanyuan said.

    Xia Yu was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. However, he had to admit that he felt that his sister was really cool.

    ¡°You¡¯re already an adult, yet you still use ignorance as an excuse. No wonder parents like you raised such a son.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced coldly at Ruan Nian¡¯s parents, making one¡¯s heart turn cold.

    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ll give you an exnation after I figure out what happened. I¡¯ll take my younger brother away first.¡± Xia Wanyuan greeted the dean and gestured for Xia Yu to follow her.

    ¡°This, this, this¡­¡± The dean was first shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty, then shocked by her valiant actions, and could not react in time.

    He looked at Ruan Nian and his family, who were flustered and crying.

    He was too worried. The dean felt that the Mediterranean area above his head had expanded greatly.

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡±

    Su Mei and the rest had been waiting outside the office. They were also there when the fight broke out. However, that group of people was specially targeting Xia Yu and were targeting him. They did not have muchbat ability and werepletely ignored by the other party.

    ¡°Mm, hello. I¡¯ll bring Xia Yu back to treat his wound. I¡¯ll treat you guys to a meal when I have time.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, this is for you.¡± Su Mei took out a USB from his pocket. ¡°I started recording since I met Ruan Nian. This is evidence of his provocation.¡±

    Ruan Nian used to have a dark history of bullying others because he was a broadcaster and had some fans.

    Su Mei had always hated Ruan Nian. Furthermore, as Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream became more and more popr, Ruan Nian often mentioned Xia Yu during his live-stream. The sourness in his words filled the live-stream.

    Hence, when he met Ruan Nian on the field, Su Mei deliberately paid attention and turned on the recording button on his phone. He recorded Ruan Nian¡¯s words because he was afraid that Ruan Nian would y the me game in the end.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the USB and smiled. Her beauty made the boys in front of her feel embarrassed.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re too cool. Where did you learn those moves? Teach me.¡± On the car back to the manor, he recalled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s domineering attitude just now. Although there was a wound on his face, it could not hide the look in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes.

    When he was young, he had always been the one who scolded others for being a bastard. Today was the first time someone had stood in front of him to defend him and help him fight back.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to force yourself to be strong next time.¡± Xia Yu was disappointed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.?<i>Sister still med me for doing it.</i>

    ¡°If you can¡¯t win, it won¡¯t be toote to return and get reinforcements before fighting back,¡± Xia Wanyuan added. Xia Yu¡¯s eyes returned to their usual brightness.

    ¡°Mm!¡± Xia Yu¡¯s eyes lit up as he nodded at Xia Wanyuan.

    Meanwhile, the Ruan family was in an uproar because of her precious grandson and son¡¯s injury. When Ruan Yingyu heard about this, she got her father to call the police.

    Before Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor, the relevant agents called.

    Uncle Wang hung up the phone in confusion.

    <i>What did Madam do??</i>

    After a moment of confusion, Uncle Wang immediately reported this to Jun Shiling.

 Chapter 222 - The Princess Was Caught?

    <h4>Chapter 222: The Princess Was Caught?</h4>

    Ruan Nian had never suffered like this since he was young. He screamed loudly in the hospital.

    The police received the call. Under the deliberate exaggeration of the Ruan family, the police hurriedly stepped out and intercepted Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu¡¯s car at a traffic light.

    If they were a stepte, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car would have entered the Jun family¡¯s protection and they would not have been able to find any traces.

    ¡°Are you Xia Wanyuan? We¡¯ve received a report that you¡¯re suspected of intentional injury. Pleasee with us.¡± The police gestured for the chauffeur to open the car window. He was caught off guard by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    <i>How could a youngdy who looked so gentle and weak get reported for deliberately injuring someone else?</i>?The police were confused.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you. My younger brother is injured. Let him go back and bandage it first,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied calmly and got out of the car.

    Xia Yu wanted to follow Xia Wanyuan worriedly, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him with a nce. He could only sit in the car obediently.

    The police car stopped in front of the traffic light, attracting a crowd.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outstanding appearance appeared, it triggered a heated discussion.

    The drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± had a certain degree of fame. A few steps after Xia Wanyuan alighted and got into the police car, she was recognized as the Heavenly Spirit Princess Shen Pei. Everyone hurriedly took out their phones to take photos.

    ¡°I actually met the Heavenly Spirit Princess Xia Wanyuan on the way today, but what did she do? She actually left with the police car.¡±

    The apanying picture was of Xia Wanyuan following the police into the police car.

    [ The person in front watching the show, did shemit a crime? Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s taking drugs? She looks a little thin. ]

    [ The person in front, what¡¯s the matter? Have you ever seen a person who takes drugs look so rosy and energetic? It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t have eyes, but you don¡¯t have brains either. ]

    [ Fans of the novel are just passing by. Please separate the two dimensions from the three dimensions. Thank you. The Heavenly Spirit Princess is not Xia Wanyuan. Don¡¯t mix the two together and give us fans some respect. ]

    [ It¡¯s a little far. Xia Wanyuan is really good-looking. The quality of the blogger¡¯s phone can¡¯t hide her outstanding temperament. She must look so good in person. ]

    This Weibo post that praised Xia Wanyuan for her beauty received a reply from the blogger. ¡°I can tell you one hundred percent that she¡¯s super good-looking in person. She¡¯s ten thousand times better looking than the photos. I swear I¡¯ve never seen such a good-looking person in my life!!¡±

    After spending so much public rtions fees, they had still not been able to shake Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status at all. Strawberry Entertainment had basically given up on Ruan Yingyu.

    Unexpectedly, this excellent opportunity was delivered. The public rtions department immediately contacted many marketing ounts.

    The search term for Xia Wanyuan was originally ¡°I am a Big Star¡±, but it suddenly became ¡°Xia Wanyuan has been arrested¡±.

    The marketing ounts posted many photos of Xia Wanyuan getting into the police car online and started rumors.

    ¡°ording to sources, Xia Wanyuan was arrested for taking drugs¡­¡±

    ¡°ording to someone¡­ Xia Wanyuan¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­.

    Although there was no evidence and only ¡°rumors¡±, it still caused a hugemotion. After all, the entertainment industry had never tolerated celebrities taking drugs.

    Various guesses rose into the air as more and more people discussed. Many people took the opportunity to gossip about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s past scandals.

    Just as everyone was gradually getting angry at Xia Wanyuan, Ruan Yingyu posted on Weibo, pushing this anger to its peak.

 Chapter 223 - Locked in the Interrogation Room

    <h4>Chapter 223: Locked in the Interrogation Room</h4>

    Ruan Yingyu knew what her younger brother was like. Ruan Nian often yed with a group of young masters in society and had often used their power to bully others.

    However, this time, Ruan Nian called Ruan Yingyu and swore that Xia Yu had attacked first. Even the dean of the school thought that Xia Yu was the culprit. Only then did Ruan Yingyu rx and promise Ruan Nian that she would give him an exnation.

    @ Ruan Yingyu: ¡°@ Xia Wanyuan, as a junior, I¡¯ve always been very respectful to you. When we were on the production team, I would even buy tea and desserts for everyone every day. But I really didn¡¯t expect you to treat my younger brother like this!! It was just two children who had a conflict on the court. Why did an adult like you get involved and beat up my younger brother to such a state?!! (Crying) I had a good rtionship with my younger brother since we were young. Now that I see Nian Nian lying in the hospital and living a life worse than death, my heart aches!!! You must give me an exnation!¡±

    There were two photos attached to Weibo. One of them was an x-ray photo of the hospital, and one could clearly see the signs of bones breaking. The other was a direct photo of Ruan Nian¡¯s arm. It was especially swollen, and it looked painful.

    The Chinese entertainment industry was rtively more restrained. There were very few celebrities who personally went to quarrel like the foreign celebrities. No matter how deep the conflicts were usually, they could still live with dignity.

    Ruan Yingyu¡¯s direct call for Xia Wanyuan attracted many spectators.

    When everyone saw Ruan Yingyu¡¯s Weibo photos, they were all shocked.

    [ Oh my god!!! Does thew still exist? Xia Wanyuan is too cruel! ]

    [ I can¡¯t believe it. One second, I was still watching her quietly sitting on the sofa and eating potato chips. She was so quiet and gentle, but the next second, she actually let me see her beat up her younger brother to this extent. That¡¯s too scary. ]

    [ Yu¡¯er, don¡¯t cry. Our hearts ache whenever you cry. Brother, get well quickly. Xia Wanyuan will be punished by thew. How can a woman be so cruel? ]

    [ It hurts to watch. Xia Wanyuan has really gone too far! Isn¡¯t that ¡®I¡¯m a Big Star¡¯ doing voting? Let¡¯s go and vote for her opponent and eliminate her in the first round. We can¡¯t let such a disgusting person advance. ]

    Everyone responded to thisment. As they denounced Xia Wanyuan, they voted for her other opponents.

    Soon, everyone voted for her opponent on the first Weibo episode of ¡°I am a Big Star¡±, leaving Xia Wanyuan behind.

    At the same time, the trending topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan hitting Ruan Yingyu¡¯s younger brother¡± was pushed up. Together with the trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan was arrested¡±, everyone finally understood why Xia Wanyuan had gotten into the police car.

    Thements were filled with apuse and cheers. They all hoped that the police would punish Xia Wanyuan severely.

    Tang Yin and Chen Yun were dealing with the potato chipspany when they suddenly changed their tune and said that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image was bad and they wanted to stop the cooperation.

    Chen Yun clicked into the trending topic skillfully and indeed saw the trending topic that made his eyes go nk.

    ¡°Oh my god, how did she beat up Ruan Yingyu¡¯s younger brother??¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the police station to understand the situation first. Wanyuan isn¡¯t such an impulsive person.¡±

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±

    After receiving a call from Uncle Wang, Jun Shiling stopped the meeting and rushed to the police station with Lin Jing.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Come here and sit properly. Tell me, why did you hit the child?¡± In the police station, the young policeman asked routinely.

    ¡°He started it first,¡± Xia Wanyuan said calmly.

    The young policeman looked up and met a face that was as cold as snow. His ears turned red. ¡°You, do you have any evidence? Even if he attacked first, would it be right to fight? You can call our police.¡±

    ¡°There was no time. He deserves a beating.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The young policeman didn¡¯t have much experience. He was momentarily speechless by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°His second uncle, look, it¡¯s this person who beat our Nian Nian up. You must seek justice for us.¡±

    Just as the young policeman and Xia Wanyuan were in a deadlock, Father Ruan and a middle-aged policeman walked over.

    ¡°Deputy Captain Ruan.¡± The young policeman stood up and bowed. He looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.

    This Deputy Captain Ruan¡­ His reputation in the police department was not good, but he was old and had some background. Normally, no one dared to offend him.

    ¡°Bring her to the interrogation room,¡± Ruan Dan pointed at Xia Wanyuan and instructed the young policeman.

    ¡°Deputy Captain Ruan, this isn¡¯t appropriate. She¡¯s not a suspect.¡± A look of disapproval shed across the young policeman¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°This person has a stubborn mouth and the nature of her attacks is bad. If I say you can send her over, you can. Cut the crap.¡±

    Since he had some authority, Ruan Dan, who was used to ordering his subordinates around, felt that he had lost face in front of Father Ruan when he saw the young policeman not cooperating. Hence, he spoke to the young policeman more sternly.

    ¡°Come with me.¡± The young policeman had just entered the police station. Although he was extremely disapproving, he had no choice but to follow Ruan Dan¡¯s orders.

    Xia Wanyuan looked calm.

    She was well-versed in the ways of politics and naturally knew that even a police station that symbolized fairness would be a little dirty.

    Since the Ruan family dared to call the police even though they knew that their son had caused trouble, they must have the confidence to do so at the police station.

    After what had happened to Supervisor Jin the previous time, Xia Wanyuan had Uncle Wang prepare an extremely hidden miniature recorder for her. Now, Ruan Dan¡¯s words were recorded without a word.

    Xia Wanyuan obediently followed the young policeman into the interrogation room.

    This ce waspletely different from the outside. When she was outside taking her statement, there was only a table between the police and her. Both parties were still on equal footing.

    Meanwhile, in this interrogation room, there was a chair in an empty room. In front of it was argemp, and in front of the room was a rtively high table. The police and the person being interrogated had a clear rtionship.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a criminal. Why are you interrogating me here?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with panic and fear. Her voice even trembled a little. One look and one could tell that she was a little girl who did not know anything about the world.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be done in a while.¡± Ruan Dan was amused by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fear. As expected, her calmness was just an act.

    After dismissing the young policeman, Ruan Dan walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Youngdy, you have to pay the price for hitting someone from my Ruan family. Go in and confess as soon as possible, then you won¡¯t suffer so much. If you don¡¯t confess, you¡¯ll suffer.¡±

    With that, Ruan Dan pushed Xia Wanyuan into the interrogation room.

    <h4>Chapter 224: Hero Saving the Beauty</h4>

    The moment Xia Wanyuan entered, the light in the interrogation room lit up. Xia Wanyuan had never understood the modern police system, so this was the first time she was illuminated by such a bright light. She was stunned for a moment and narrowed her eyes in difort.

    ¡°Tell me, why did you cause trouble and deliberately hurt Ruan Nian?¡± Ruan Dan knocked on the table hard. The heavy sound of a blow echoed in the empty interrogation room.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a criminal. What right do you have to lock me up here?¡±

    At that moment, the Xia Wanyuan in Ruan Dan¡¯s eyes was no longer as frightened as before. Instead, she was very calm. Confusion shed across Ruan Dan¡¯s eyes, but when he thought of the three million Ruan Baoer¡¯s father had promised him, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯ll be honest with you. I¡¯ve temporarily switched off the camera here. You¡¯re so tender. If I give you a sentence or something, you won¡¯t be able to take it. Do you see this piece of paper? Sign on it and I¡¯ll let you go.¡±

    Ruan Dan had been outstanding in the field of criminal investigation in the early years. Now that he was speaking to Xia Wanyuan in a domineering manner, if it was an ordinary person who was intimidated under such an environment, their mental defenses would definitely copse.

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan did not look afraid at all.

    Even though he sat high and Xia Wanyuan sat low, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s indifferent gaze made him look like he was the one who was at the bottom.

    ¡°Speak!¡± Ruan Dan touched the baton beside him and knocked it hard on the table, causing his hand to turn numb.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned cold. She entered a state of alertness and put down her crossed legs.

    Get lost.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips parted slightly as she spat out two words. Her gaze carried a sharpness as she pointed at Ruan Dan.

    ¡°I think you¡¯re refusing¡­¡± Ruan Dan was angered by Xia Wanyuan and stood up.

    Bang!! The door of the interrogation room was kicked open. Ruan Dan stopped midway and looked at the door angrily.?<i>Who was so blind to dare toe over at this time?</i>

    In the end, he saw an extremely cold man in a suit walk in. The light at the door was a little dim, so he could not see the person¡¯s face.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Ruan Dan roared.

    However, he did not expect that the cold man did not even nce at him and walked straight to Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan frown slightly due to the strong light, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turned as cold as ice. Lin Jing walked to the side and switched off the light.

    What are you doing?!¡± Ruan Dan was about to speak when the cold man, who had his back facing him, suddenly turned around.

    Seeing that handsome face, Ruan Dan was first stunned, then the fear in his eyes grew.

    <i>Isn¡¯t this the richest man in China, Jun Shiling!!! He¡¯s someone I can¡¯t afford to provoke in my life!</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turned cold when he saw Ruan Dan¡¯s baton.

    ¡°You want to hit her?¡±

    ¡°I, I¡­¡± No matter how stupid Ruan Dan was, he could tell from Jun Shiling¡¯s expression that he was extremely angry.

    <i>Didn¡¯t they say that Xia Wanyuan was just a little celebrity whose family had gone bankrupt?! Why was she rted to Jun Shiling?!</i>

    ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m sorry. I just found out that you were here.¡± A middle-aged man rushed in.

    ¡°Minister Zhou.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly at the person.

    ¡°Minister Zhou?¡± Ruan Dan watched his superior appear and thought to himself,?<i>¡®It¡¯s over.¡¯</i>

    He felt sick and couldn¡¯t even hold the baton.

    ¡°Minister Zhou, you have to properly manage this police station. You have to exin this private criminal hall.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I wasn¡¯t strict enough. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling turn around and help Xia Wanyuan up. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up. She had been illuminated by the strong light for too long and was a little dizzy, so she walked with Jun Shiling¡¯s help.

    However, when she reached the door, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood still. ¡°I was illuminated by that light for ten minutes.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big lights in the house that had already been turned off.

    ¡°Ruan Dan setting up the punishment hall is a crime worthy of its name. We will interrogate him here.¡± For Minister Wang to be able to sit in this position, his ability to observe people¡¯s expressions was naturally top-notch. He hurriedly responded.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan turn around.

    The moment Jun Shiling and the rest left, Ruan Dan was detained and interrogated for a full ten hours in the interrogation room before stopping. When they left the interrogation room, Ruan Dan felt that his eyes were filled with halos.

    ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She was still a little dizzy when she left the police station just now. Now that she had adapted to the light outside, she was fine.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin experienced the long traffic jam in Beijing and finally arrived at the police station. However, they were told that Xia Wanyuan had been taken away.

    The two of them thought about it and guessed that it was Jun Shiling. Only then were they relieved.

    When they returned to the manor, Xia Yu was wrapped up like a dumpling with bandages all over him.

    Xiao Bao squatted curiously by the sofa and carefully touched Xia Yu¡¯s bandage. ¡°Uncle, are you a mummy? You¡¯re so cool.¡±

    ¡°Jun Yin, your uncle is injured. Don¡¯t touch him,¡± Jun Shiling scolded softly, afraid that Xiao Bao¡¯s hand would not be gentle.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao retracted his hand, his big eyes filled with concern. ¡°Uncle, does it hurt? I¡¯ll blow on it for you.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao gently blew on Xia Yu¡¯s bandaged hand. His cheeks puffed up cutely.

    ¡°Master Jun, Madam, I¡¯ve already treated Young Master Xia¡¯s wound. It¡¯s just a superficial wound. You don¡¯t have to worry too much, he¡¯ll be fine after resting.¡±

    Shen Xiu instructed as he packed his tools.

    ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked forward and was relieved to see that Xia Yu was fine. ¡°Have you taken the photos I asked you to take?¡±

    ¡°I did. I asked Doctor Shen to take it for me. Sister, let me tell you. That photo looks too terrible,¡± Xia Yu said and wanted to show Xia Wanyuan the phone on the table.

    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± Xiao Bao sensibly handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw that the wound had been photographed so shockingly. Xia Wanyuan looked at Shen Xiu in admiration.

    Not only did Doctor Shen have high medical skills, but he also had excellent photography skills.

    Themotion on Weibo grew. Although Ruan Yingyu and Xia Wanyuan were not big celebrities, the show-watchers would never let a female celebrity beat up another female celebrity¡¯s younger brother and two female celebrities tear each other apart.

    Seeing that there was no response from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side for a long time, everyone rushed to the Weibo ount of the Yangan District Public Security Bureau that had taken Xia Wanyuan away, urging the Public Security Bureau to quickly give the public an exnation.

    At the same time, Tang Yin and Chen Yun finally sorted out the information and evidence that Xia Wanyuan had sent over.

    ¡°Send it?¡±

    ¡°Send! Let¡¯s see how they will argue this time.¡±

    Hence, just as public opinion was about to boil, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo suddenly updated.

 Chapter 226 - The Truth is Revealed

    <h4>Chapter 226: The Truth is Revealed</h4>

    There were already many people squatting under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo to denounce her, but they suddenly realized that Xia Wanyuan had a new post.

    Many of Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans directly attached the copied documents and upied the poprments on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is vicious. Xia Wanyuan is cruel. Xia Wanyuan beat someone up. ]

    [ To think that our Yu¡¯er took care of you so well on the production team and even bought you food. In order to take care of your time, she even specially dyed her schedule. No matter how ungrateful you are, you shouldn¡¯t be like this. # Xia Wanyuan Get Out of the Entertainment Industry # ]

    [ You have to give Ruan Yingyu an exnation for this!! Why did you hit her! ]

    [ You¡¯re a girl too. How can your heart be so vicious! Ruan Nian is still a child, how can you bear to do it?! ]

    [ I came after watching the video. The people in front are all fake reviewers that Ruan Yingyu bought, right? As expected, disgusting people belong to the same family. Ruan Nian is disgusting, Ruan Yingyu is disgusting too. Retch. ]

    [ What a good way to y the me game. Ruan Nian and Ruan Yingyu have really refreshed my worldview. I vomited. Xia Wanyuan ,sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have scolded you. ]

    Other than thements from Ruan Yingyu¡¯s fans who had been trending in the beginning, the others were all apologizing. Passersby who had been attracted by the trending topic clicked on the video.

    <i>Tsk, tsk. What a disgusting Ruan Nian. What a bitchy Ruan Yingyu.</i>

    The video timed the entire incident.

    At first, it was Ruan Nian¡¯s words. In his words, he had humiliated Xia Wanyuan to the extreme. All sorts of filthy words were written, making it difficult for people to believe that these were words said by a university student.

    Then, the video responded to Ruan Yingyu¡¯s doubts about Xia Wanyuan hitting someone.

    The first thing was to get an authoritative expert to interpret the extremely terrifying X-ray scan. The expert pointed out that it was actually an extremely light fracture. It would be fine after a period of rest. It was not as serious as what the outside world had said.

    Then, the video released the recording of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s father and Ruan Dan colluding and setting up a private punishment hall in the police station to recruit Xia Wanyuan.

    At the end of the video were many photos of Xia Yu. From his face to his feet, there were bruises everywhere, making him look extremely terrifying. After being bandaged, he looked like a mummy, exuding a strong sense of pity.

    At the end of the video, there were fourrge red words. ¡°The innocent will be innocent.¡±

    After watching this video, theizens silently began to flip through theirments that had denounced Xia Wanyuan. After deleting thesements, they began to apologize on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    [ I¡¯m sorry, I take back thement just now. I didn¡¯t expect that this was actually directed and acted by the Ruan siblings. It¡¯s too disgusting. ]

    [ I¡¯ve wronged you. You hit a scumbag like Ruan Nian too lightly! You should p his mouth into pieces! I¡¯m going to vomit from listening to you. Such a person is simply embarrassing men. ]

    [ The Ruan family is really disgusting from top to bottom. Has that Captain Ruan bewless? Does he treat the police station as his home and act so recklessly?? Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t suffer any harm, did she? ]

    [ Oh my god, Xia Yu¡¯s injuries are making me cry. If my younger brother was beaten up like this, I would have eaten the person opposite me alive. That¡¯s too much!! Xia Wanyuan is too gentle!! Ruan Nian that idiot, die! ]

    [ Xiaoyu¡¯s injury looks so serious. My heart aches so much. Oh my god, how could Ruan Yingyu have the cheek to lie to the public with a mild fracture and gain sympathy! Ruan Nian beat Xia Yu up to this extent! I¡¯m so angry!! Stupid white lotus! ]

    As this video spread, the public opinion gradually rebounded, and it was even higher than before.

    Ruan Nian¡¯s foul words made everyone question Di Fan University. What Ruan Dan did in the police department aroused everyone¡¯s doubts about the public trust of the police department.

    At this moment, it was no longer a simple fight between female celebrities. Other thanizens, many media outlets also followed this matter and reported it one after another.

    Not long after, Di Fan University responded and revoked Ruan Nian¡¯s school qualification.

    The Yang An District Public Security Bureau also quickly released a statement saying that they had already removed Ruan Dan from his post. The subsequent results would be released on Weibo and would ept the public¡¯s supervision.

    At this moment, the heated fight finally subsided.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Mom, I want to eat fish. Go and buy me a fish in the afternoon.¡± Ruan Nian groaned in pain as he sat on the bed with his arm hanging.

    He felt as if there were hundreds of millions of needles stabbing into his arm.?<i>How could it be a slight fracture?!</i>?He felt that he was going to die of pain, but the doctor said that the result of the examination was a slight fracture and that he would be fine after resting.

    ¡°Okay, good child. I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡± Mother Ruan was about to leave when Father Ruan hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

    ¡°Hubby, how is it?¡±

    ¡°How is it? Look at your good son!!¡± Father Ruan¡¯s expression was as dark as ink. ¡°You unfilial son, who did you provoke?!¡±

    He was originally leisurely waiting for news of his rtives at the police station, but who would have thought that no one woulde? He went to the police station to ask and Ruan Dan was actually fired and sent to the interrogation room?

    Before he could understand what was going on, he received a call saying that all his clients had stopped working with him. An old partner reminded him that he had provoked an important person.

    Only then did he think of Xia Wanyuan, who had been sent to the police station.

    ¡°How is that possible, Dad? The Xia family is already bankrupt. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Dad, I want to eat fish,¡± Ruan Nian said nonchntly.

    ¡°Eat fish!! In the future, you can only sell fish, you unfilial son. You caused the death of your entire family!¡± Father Ruan was so angry that his heart choked. His blood pressure soared and he fainted on the ground.

    Only then did Mother Ruan and Ruan Nian panic. They hurriedly went to look for the doctor. It was chaotic.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ruan Yingyu had also learned the truth from her manager. Facing the criticism online, Ruan Yingyu had no choice but to send an apology statement saying that she had panicked because she loved her younger brother and had not had the time to ask about the situation, so she had said something in a panic and identally injured Xia Wanyuan.

    However, the statement that she had posted at this moment was clearly useless. Other than her fans who were still protecting her, most of theizens were very angry at themselves for being fooled.

    On the contrary, those who had once insulted Xia Wanyuan, after the tables turned, out of guilt, some people became Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans.

    The fact that Xia Wanyuan had beaten Ruan Nian up for Xia Yu had be everyone¡¯s cute point. Many of the Esports fans that Xia Yu originally had did not like Xia Wanyuan. After this incident, their impression of Xia Wanyuan had changed greatly.

    As for Xia Yu¡¯s technical male fans, they regarded Xia Wanyuan as their goddess.

    <i>Who wouldn¡¯t want to have an extremely beautiful sister who would help them fight back when they were bullied?</i>

    The sourness ended everything.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The house was in chaos, and the inte was filled with ridicule. Thepany had basically given up on her. Ruan Yingyu hated Xia Wanyuan to the core. After thinking about it, Ruan Yingyu felt that her only chance was on Xuan Sheng. As long as she could get his support, she would definitely be able to make aeback.

    Thinking of the promise she had made with Xuan Sheng, jealousy shed across Ruan Yingyu¡¯s eyes.?<i>Xia Wanyuan, you made me go to hell. I will drag you down with me even if I die.</i>

 Chapter 227 - Driving

    <h4>Chapter 227: Driving</h4>

    Xia Yu was injured, so he did not return to school for the past few days. Instead, he stayed in the manor to recuperate.

    Xia Yu was still a child. After the blood clot in his wound slowly healed, he began to jump around and y with the little dumpling every day.

    Xia Wanyuan was happy that Xiao Bao stopped pestering her to y games with him. In the end, she unexpectedly received Tang Yin¡¯s notice.

    ¡°A g?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked curiously.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Wanyuan, prepare yourself. The time is set for the night after tomorrow at the Hong¡¯an Hall. When the timees, Chen Yun and I wille and pick you up. This is your first red carpet event, so you have to take it seriously.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    The drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± had already broadcasted one-third of the content. Director Yang himself was a director with very high standards. He had grasped the rhythm of the drama very well, and the core lead actor, Qin Wu, had molded the role very well.

    In addition, the Heavenly Spirit Princess was stunning and her little junior sister was lively and cute.

    The momentum of this drama had always been rtively good, and its results had almost beaten other dramas in the same period.

    Although Ruan Yingyu¡¯s image had been damaged in the past few days, it was still a drama majorly involving the male lead. Since Qin Wu had not copsed, it did not affect the drama much.

    The award ceremony was a mid-year g held by Apple Video.

    Because of the potential of ¡°The Long Bad¡± television drama, Apple Video had a single annual potential award, so all the main cast of ¡°The Long Bad¡± needed to attend this g.

    Not long after Xia Yu and Xiao Bao yed, Xiao Bao was taken away.

    Xiao Bao was nurtured as the sessor of the Jun Corporation. Jun Shiling had given him a lot of missions and he had to receive all sorts of lessons on additional skills every weekend.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached for him. She had also asked Xiao Bao if he was tired. Xiao Bao puffed up his cute face and said in all seriousness, ¡°I want to study hard. When I grow up, I¡¯ll protect Mommy.¡± Xia Wanyuan was both amused and touched.

    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m so bored. Bring me out for a walk.¡±

    After Xiao Bao left, the manor returned to silence. Xia Yu, who had been cooped up in the house for the past few days and couldn¡¯t go anywhere, was about to fall ill.

    Furthermore, Xia Yu was especially afraid of Jun Shiling. When Jun Shiling came back from work, he would be even more afraid to speak. It was just nice that Jun Shiling was not back yet, so he wanted to go out for a walk.

    ¡°Where do you want to go?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rarely went out either. Upon hearing Xia Yu¡¯s suggestion, she had some thoughts.

    ¡°I¡¯m covered in bruises. It¡¯s not a serious injury. It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll drive you out for a spin.¡± Living in school every day, Xia Yu had not touched the car in a long time. Now that he had been cooped up in the manor for so long, his hands were itchy.

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    Hearing Xia Yu mention this, Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled that the original owner of this body also had a driving license. Ever since she came to the modern world, she had always been in other people¡¯s cars and had never driven one herself. Now, her interest was piqued.

    ¡°Wow!!!!¡±

    Xia Yu eximed when he followed Xia Wanyuan to the garage of the manor. Rows of cars were parked on both sides of the garage.

    Any one of them was either already out of production or a global limited edition.

    Xia Yu used to like to y with cars too, but his finances were limited, so he could only watch.

    Now, basically all the dream cars had appeared in front of him, and Xia Yu¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Sister,e up. I¡¯ll take you!¡± Xia Yu chose the Koen he had dreamed of and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯ll drive myself. Just lead the way.¡±

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan opened the nearest red Bugatti Veyron and coolly sat in it.

 Chapter 228 - Enemies on a Narrow Road

    <h4>Chapter 228: Enemies on a Narrow Road</h4>

    ¡°Sister, can you do it?¡± Xia Yu was very suspicious of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills.

    ¡°Try it.¡± Sitting in the extremely designed sports car, Xia Wanyuan felt that the experience waspletely different from her driving. It was novel and exciting.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xia Yu started the car.

    This world-ss luxury car that had been used as a decoration in the garage for a few years was finally going to see the light of day.

    Following the original owner¡¯s memory, Xia Wanyuan started the car a little awkwardly.

    Worried about Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu drove slowly at first. However, he slowly realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s driving skills were not bad, so he gradually increased his speed.

    Beijing was a ce where rich people gathered. There were many luxury cars in the car.

    However, the appearance of two top-notch sports cars attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Xia Wanyuan was extremely talented and learned everything quickly. In addition, the original owner of the body had a foundation from the past. Not long after, Xia Wanyuan became very proficient.

    Even though they passed by a bustling city center, Xia Wanyuan drove steadily.

    Soon, the car left the city. There were many sports carnes in the suburbs that were specially set up for sports car lovers. After all, there were all kinds of speed limits in the city.

    Xia Yu gradually increased his speed. The car roared and drove at an extremely fast speed.

    Xia Wanyuan followed closely behind, feeling the wind blow against her face.

    The feeling of driving and riding were simr, but there were also differences. However, it was undeniable that both of them made one feel unrestrained from the inside out.

    Xia Yu led the way happily. Xia Wanyuan followed closely behind him and did not fall behind.

    After driving for about twenty minutes, they were already very far from the city. Xia Yu turned around and brought Xia Wanyuan back, only to realize that there were three sports cars blocking the road.

    ¡°Wow ~ Koenigsegg One: 1. Nice car.¡±

    A few young people who were resting by the roadside watched the sports car speed over and whistled. They were just about to see who was driving such a NB car when someone they were familiar with alighted from the car.

    ¡°Xia Yu?!!!¡±

    Xia Yu wanted to see who was so immoral, but when he came down, it was indeed someone immoral.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t the Xia family bankrupt? Xia Yu, you¡¯re even driving a Koenigsegg. Impressive. Who did you hook up with this time?¡± The person who spoke was Wang Hao, who had fought with Xia Yust time.

    Xia Yu found the people around Wang Hao familiar. They were good friends with Ruan Nian, who had fought on the basketball courtst time.

    ¡°Hmph, I was wondering who it was. A bunch of roadblocks.¡± Xia Yu nced at them coldly.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped the car beside Xia Yu. ¡°What happened?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing sunsses, so the few of them didn¡¯t recognize her for the time being. They only felt that this woman was extremely beautiful.

    Wang Hao had never gotten along with Xia Yu, and his heart ached.?<i>How could a little bastard like Xia Yu drive such a good car and have such a beautiful woman apany him?</i>?¡°Tsk, little bastard, is this the rich woman you recently hooked up with?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and nced at Wang Hao. Even though Xia Wanyuan was wearing sunsses, Wang Hao could still feel the coldness in her eyes.

    ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go back. Don¡¯t lower yourself to their level.¡± If it was in the past, with Xia Yu¡¯s character, he would definitely fight them. However, there were many people on the other side and Xia Wanyuan was here. He didn¡¯t want to fight with them.

    ¡°You want to go back? It won¡¯t be that easy, will it? Fly over from this road if you dare.¡± Wang Hao smiled disdainfully. They had parked their car casually and wanted to rest by the roadside before leaving. Who would have thought that they would bump into Xia Yu?

    The three cars coincidentally blocked the road.

    Xia Wanyuan sat back in the car. ¡°Xia Yu, follow me.¡±

 Chapter 229 - Master Jun Must Be Coaxed

    <h4>Chapter 229: Master Jun Must Be Coaxed</h4>

    Sister?¡± Xia Yu didn¡¯t know what Xia Wanyuan was up to and looked at her in confusion.

    ¡°Let me ask you again. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to move?¡± Xia Wanyuan rolled down the car window and asked Wang Hao and the others.

    The others looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura and felt a little guilty. After all, someone who could afford to drive a top-notch sports car had a strong background.

    However, Wang Hao¡¯s family background was good to begin with. Besides, he had already recognized that the woman in sunsses was Xia Wanyuan.?<i>What kind of background did she have? Was she someone¡¯s mistress? How could he not know of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s background?</i>

    ¡°Pfft, you¡¯re putting on an act. If you can pass through here today, I¡¯ll eat this car.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped talking to Wang Hao and slowly reversed the car. She didn¡¯t stop until she was about a thousand meters away from Wang Hao.

    Not only did Wang Hao and the rest not understand what Xia Wanyuan was trying to do, but even Xia Yu did not.

    Xia Wanyuan adjusted the angle slightly and stepped on the elerator abruptly. Her speed was raised to the limit.

    Everyone present knew how to y with cars. Upon hearing the thunderous roar, they knew that Xia Wanyuan had increased the speed of the car to an extremely high level.

    ¡°Oh no, move away.¡± Wang Hao and the others finally understood what Xia Wanyuan was trying to do. They quickly stepped aside.

    The fast-moving sports car was as fast as lightning. Before Wang Hao and the others could retreat far, the red sports car arrived like a beast.

    The extreme speed formed a tremendous force. Under this force, the sports cars parked on the road had no room to resist.

    After a huge collision, only one of the three cars was left.

    The two cars outside were sent flying far away. As they were lifted and rolled on the ground for a long time before stopping, the two cars had already severely deformed.

    Wang Hao looked at the deformed ¡°Venom¡± in horror and pain. His heart was bleeding.?<i>I had just bought it at a high price!!!</i>

    Xia Yu was stunned. ¡°How cool!¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car had driven far away, Xia Yu hurriedly started the car. Before he left, he rolled down the window. ¡°I won¡¯t watch you eat the car anymore. Enjoy yourself.¡±

    Before Wang Hao could speak, Xia Yu had already stepped on the elerator and left, leaving behind only the exhaust fumes of the car.

    It was almost evening when they returned to the manor.

    Jun Shiling, who was usually not home at this time, was sitting in the gazebo in the manor.

    Jun Shiling heard the sound of a sports car from afar. He looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan driving a red sports car into the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu parked the car in the garage. Xia Yu looked at the deted car and recalled Jun Shiling¡¯s figure sitting in the gazebo just now. His heart trembled for no reason.

    ¡°Um, Sister, I still have homework to do. I¡¯ll go back to my room first. I won¡¯t be eating dinner.¡± With that, Xia Yu slipped back into the house.

    Xia Wanyuan walked into the gazebo and Jun Shiling poured her a cup of tea.

    ¡°You went out to y?¡± Jun Shiling looked up, his expression unreadable.

    ¡°Mm, I drove for a while. I¡¯m sorry, I broke your car. I¡¯ll fix it for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea.

    ¡°How did you break it?¡± Jun Shiling asked leisurely.

    Xia Wanyuan then told Jun Shiling about meeting Wang Hao and the others.

    Xia Wanyuan did not notice that as she gradually spoke, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression had slowly darkened.

    ¡°Mm, you¡¯ve grown capable,¡± Jun Shiling replied after Xia Wanyuan finished speaking.

    ¡°How?¡±

    ¡°You drove yourself to knock into someone¡¯s car. Impressive. Did you forget that you promised me that you wouldn¡¯t put yourself in danger again?¡± Jun Shiling spoke extremely slowly, but there was a deeper coldness in his tone.

    His deep eyes were like bottomless wells, making one inexplicably afraid to look straight at them.

    ¡°I calcted it. I bumped into it because I knew it was fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt a little guilty and did not dare to look straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    However, it was fine if she did not exin. The more she exined, the worse Jun Shiling¡¯s expression became.

    Jun Shiling suppressed his anger and did not want to speak to Xia Wanyuan anymore.

    However, he did not want to throw a tantrum either. After the previous argument with Xia Wanyuan, he had reflected on himself and made up his mind that no matter what, he would not do it again.

    <i>However, this woman was really infuriating. How fast and how strong must she be to send the two sports cars flying?</i>

    <i>If the road was uneven, if she could not knock open those two cars, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s own car would fly out.</i>

    Ever since Uncle Wang called him and told him that Xia Yu and Xia Wanyuan had gone out in their sports car, he had been feeling uneasy during meetings.

    In the end, when he came back to take a look, he realized that this woman had indeed made him worry. Now, she was still acting indifferent, which made him even angrier.

    ¡°Drink tea.¡± Jun Shiling was angry, but he did not want to vent his anger on Xia Wanyuan, so he could only drink two cups of tea.

    Although Jun Shiling tried his best to suppress it, Xia Wanyuan could still tell that Jun Shiling was a little angry.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt a strange sense of cuteness.

    ¡°Hey.¡± Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling felt that he had really lost to Xia Wanyuan. He was clearly angry just now, but after Xia Wanyuan poked him gently and cutely, he suddenly felt his heart melt.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take you out for a spin after dinner. I¡¯ll show you my skills. Don¡¯t worry too much, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who had just wanted to pack up all the sports cars in the garage and send them away, looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes and agreed without any enthusiasm.

    Xia Yu yed games in his room for a while. Seeing that no one was punishing him, he went downstairs happily to get drinks.

    Unexpectedly, just as she walked downstairs, she saw Uncle Wang walk in with seven or eight people.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?¡± Xia Yu opened the bottle and gulped down a mouthful of coke.

    ¡°Young Master was afraid that you would dy your homework, so he specially invited famous teachers from all subjects to tutor you.¡±

    ¡°What?!!!!!¡± Xia Yu choked on Uncle Wang¡¯s words before he could swallow the c. ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡±

    ¡°Drink slowly. Don¡¯t choke. This is the schedule Young Master made for you. Take a look.¡±

    Xia Yu took the timetable and looked at it. From eight in the morning to eight in the evening, there were sses everywhere.

    <i>Heavens!!!</i>

    Xia Yu felt hopeless. The coke in his mouth was no longer sweet!

    Xia Yu carried his timetable pitifully and went upstairs surrounded by eight teachers.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The award ceremony for Apple Video had always been filled with celebrities. After Apple Video announced this news to the outside world, it immediately aroused the expectations of the public.

    However, there were also attentive people who realized that the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± that had not finished broadcasting was actually among the invited.

 Chapter 230 - Does It Look Good? Look More

    <h4>Chapter 230: Does It Look Good? Look More</h4>

    [ I¡¯m looking forward to it. It¡¯s time to see handsome men and beautiful women again. ]

    [ Hasn¡¯t ¡°The Long Bad¡± not finished broadcasting yet? How can it be on the list of g events? ]

    [ I heard that it¡¯s because the statistics is okay. I haven¡¯t seen Qin Wu walk the red carpet in a long time. Wow, wow, wow, wow, Brother in a suit is going to steal my heart again. ]

    [ I¡¯m looking forward to Yuan Yuan¡¯s red carpet show!! I can see the beauties open for business again! Ahhh, why is time passing so slowly? I really want the g to happen now! ]

    Under normal circumstances, some fan slots would be reserved for g events like this. Because there were too many celebrities, these fan slots were usually difficult to get.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans reacted and wanted to rush to the scene to support her, all the tickets had been snatched away.

    ¡°It¡¯s over. When the timees, everyone else will have fans to support them. What will happen to our Yuan Yuan?¡±

    The fans were already so worried that a few of their hair had fallen off. It was too difficult for them to chase celebritieste.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Xia Yu was taught by a few teachers in an eight to one ratio, he felt dizzy. He swore that he would never dare to bring Xia Wanyuan out again.

    Because he was still injured, the teachers had left early. Xia Yu pushed open the door and looked downstairs. After confirming that Jun Shiling was not around, Xia Yu walked to the first floor to get something to drink.

    Just as he took a sip, Xia Yu instinctively looked behind him. Jun Shiling was sitting quietly on the sofa not far away.

    Meeting Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze, Xia Yu almost spat out his c. However, in consideration of Jun Shiling, he swallowed it again.

    ¡°Burp.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s heart raced.?<i>I don¡¯t want to drink coke anymore!</i>

    ¡°Come here,¡± Jun Shiling said.

    Xia Yu knew that he was going to criticize him and felt guilty. He moved towards the sofa and sat down. He could feel the coldness emanating from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Brother-inw, I promise I won¡¯t mess around in the future!!¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could speak, Xia Yu admitted his mistake.

    What Jun Shiling wanted to say was stopped by Xia Yu¡¯s ¡°brother-inw¡±.

    ¡°Is that okay? I promise!! I was wrong, Brother-inw.¡±

    Xia Yu only wanted to get close to Jun Shiling. He didn¡¯t expect that it was this ¡®brother-inw¡¯ who saved him.

    ¡°If there¡¯s a next time¡­¡± Seeing how sincere Xia Yu was in admitting his mistake, Jun Shiling did not n to say anything else.

    ¡°If there¡¯s a next time, you can do whatever you want with me.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling had loosened up, Xia Yu immediately tried to test him. ¡°Brother-inw, look at my injuries. It¡¯s not convenient for me to attend sses. Can you arrange fewer sses for me?¡±

    ¡°Just pick two teachers to teach you ording to your needs.¡±

    ¡°Okay! Thank you, Brother-inw!¡±

    Xia Yu suddenly felt that Jun Shiling was quite easygoing.

    Because of his injury, Xia Yu had taken leave from the tform without any qualms and temporarily stopped the live broadcast. After dinner, he went to y with Xiao Bao¡¯s toys.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xiao Bao, who was ying happily and had not noticed her at all. She waved at Jun Shiling, who followed Xia Wanyuan out the door.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t have enough fun in the day, did you?¡± After leaving the house, Jun Shiling nced at the eager Xia Wanyuan and said leisurely.

    ¡°How do you know everything?¡± A hint of embarrassment shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    In her previous life, what she liked the most was riding horses on the ins. That extreme speed could bring endless joy.

    It was not that convenient to ride a horse in the modern world. It was only after riding with Xia Yu today that Xia Wanyuan realized how reckless the modern world was.

    The Bugatti Veyron that she had seen earlier in the day had already been deformed. Xia Wanyuan chose another Shelby Supercar. Its extremely sci-fi appearance made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes light up.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and familiarized herself with the equipment in the car. Jun Shiling opened the door and got in too.

    This was the first time in 25 years that Jun Shiling had sat in the front passenger seat.

    ¡°Are you ready?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned her head with a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stepped on the elerator and the top-notch sports car raised its speed almost instantly.

    The white sports car drove out of the manor like a stream of light.

    It was getting closer and closer to summer, and the air at night was a little hot. Xia Wanyuan opened the roof and the night wind blew against her face, bringing a hint of coldness.

    Xia Wanyuan had specially chosen a road that had very few people, and she drove as fast as she could. The wind blew her hair around her temples. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan, who was holding the steering wheel, had a willful and carefree heroic spirit that stunned Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan drove back after an hour of driving.

    ¡°You can take the way back.¡± Xia Wanyuan drove for a while before suddenly stopping by the roadside and looking at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay, take a rest then.¡±

    Jun Shiling got out of the car and switched seats with Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan was happy to be idle. She let the cold wind blow on her and looked at the night sky that whistled past her.

    However, gradually, her gaze was attracted by Jun Shiling beside her.

    Jun Shiling was very serious in everything he did. At that moment, Jun Shiling was focused in the distance. There was a hint of wantonness in his elegance, making it difficult for one to look away.

    The sports car gradually slowed down. Only when it slowly stopped did Xia Wanyuan react.

    ¡°Why did you stop?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked curiously.

    ¡°How am I supposed to drive if you keep staring at me?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan helplessly with a smile in his eyes.

    The thought of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze fixed on him made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surge. How could he calm down and drive?

    ¡°You look good yet you don¡¯t let other people look at you.¡± Xia Wanyuan teased with a smile.

    Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes rippled. He quietly closed the roof of the car, and the space in the car instantly became narrow.

    It was charming and gentle.

    ¡°Do I look good?¡± Jun Shiling turned his head and asked calmly.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She had said this from the bottom of her heart. Jun Shiling was originally very good-looking, and with his elegant aura, he really deserved to be called a gentleman.

    ¡°Then take a closer look,¡± Jun Shiling said. He suddenly leaned towards Xia Wanyuan and stopped about ten centimeters away from her. There was a faint smile in his eyes, but it had a different charm.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze swept across Jun Shiling¡¯s thick eyebrows and his tall nose bridge.

    ¡°You¡¯re still good-looking.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded seriously.

    Jun Shiling was amused by her expression. His eyes softened and the corners of his lips curled up.

    She was breath-taking.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡± Jun Shiling seemed to like calling her by her full name. Every word rolled across the tip of his tongue, and when he spoke, it had a lingering taste.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Not as good-looking as you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes stared at Xia Wanyuan. The corners of his lips were still slightly curved, but his eyes were filled with seriousness.

    However, Xia Wanyuan, who had lowered her head shyly, did not see the brilliance in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

 Chapter 231 - Promotion of Potato Chips

    <h4>Chapter 231: Promotion of Potato Chips</h4>

    After what had just happened, Xia Wanyuan was too embarrassed to stare at Jun Shiling anymore. She leaned on the side and looked at the night scenery by the roadside.

    While Jun Shiling rxed, he felt a little disappointed.

    The car gradually drove into the main city area. Jun Shiling closed the roof and slowed the car.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned against the seat and slowly fell asleep.

    The car drove into the manor. Jun Shiling sent Lin Jing a message, then turned around and gently woke Xia Wanyuan up.

    Assistant Lin, who had been on call 24 hours a day throughout the year, suddenly received a message from Jun Shilingte at night. He thought that it was something important and hurriedly sat up to switch on his phone.

    ¡°Order a sports car. It must be unique.¡±

    He had been in the Jun Corporation for so many years, but he had never seen Jun Shiling drive a car before. He knew who he was buying the car for easily.

    ¡°Tsk.¡±

    Lin Jing couldn¡¯t help but curse.?<i>Who said that Master Jun didn¡¯t know how to date?</i>

    <i>Every day, there was a sea of roses, Wuyishan tea, and top-notch sports car. They simply brought out the words ¡°overbearing CEO¡± to the extreme.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan finished filming the first episode of ¡°I am a Big Star¡±, she had not paid attention to the advancement. When Tang Yin told her that she was preparing to film the second episode, Xia Wanyuan was still quite puzzled.

    <i>I advanced just like that?? Is this variety program so sloppy?</i>

    What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that everyone¡¯s songs were brought to the expert team to mess up the order and vote anonymously. It waspletely dependent on thepetitor¡¯s ability.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s melody was unanimously approved by the five experts.

    Though she had beaten Ruan Nian up, manyizens had spontaneously given her low marks on Weibo, causing her Weibo score to be quite low.

    However, due to the high scores given by the expert team, Xia Wanyuan barely passed the primary evaluation.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Due to the obvious reversal of the incident, not only did Xia Wanyuan clear her name, but she also gained more attention. The potato chipspany found Tang Yin again, hoping to continue working with Xia Wanyuan.

    This time, Tang Yin directly confirmed the promotion with the other party over the phone, in case something happened and the other party went back on his word.

    The potato chipspany was also quite straightforward. That day, he got Tang Yin and Chen Yun to sign the contract. After confirming that the contract was fine, he reached a cooperation with the other party.

    Hence, that afternoon, Xia Wanyuan posted a publicity Weibo post about the potato chips. Her Weibo post even mentioned that from 7: 30 pm, she would be live-streaming on Weibo for half an hour.

    Everyone was confused when they saw the potato chips.

    Although it was surprising that Xia Wanyuan had epted Ya Zi¡¯s endorsement, everyone quickly epted it.

    Because Ya Zi had always been willful, she had never used her status or status to prove her brand value. She had always chosen her spokesperson at will.

    However, Hays potato chips were different. This type of potato chip, which upied almost 70% of the market, had always chosen its spokesperson to be an A-list celebrity.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had obtained some affirmation from the Heavenly Spirit Princess, she was ultimately just an unimportant supporting role. The results of the drama could not be counted on her.

    [ Hays potato chips, what¡¯s the matter?? Spokesperson?? Is she that amazing? ]

    [ She has soared to the sky. She can even receive endorsements for Hays potato chips. Hasn¡¯t Hays always only invited big shots? ]

    [ It might not be the spokesperson. I guess it might be a brand promotion? ]

    [ Is there going to be a live broadcast!!! We can watch the divine face up close again! Happy! Yuan Yuan, I¡¯ll wait for you in the live-stream! ]

 Chapter 232 - Flourishing Beauty

    <h4>Chapter 232: Flourishing Beauty</h4>

    Although many people were mocking Xia Wanyuan¡¯s celebrity status for not being going enough for Hays, the current Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan base was already beginning to take shape.

    The passers-by who had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan because of her role as the Heavenly Spirit Princess were also speaking up for her.

    Thements were split between haters and supporters.

    ¡°It¡¯s finally not a one-sided criticism anymore.¡± Chen Yun looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weiboments with mixed emotions. A few months ago, no matter what Xia Wanyuan posted, she would be scolded by theizens.

    Now, even fans and passers-by were willing to speak up for Xia Wanyuan. It was really not easy.

    ¡°She¡¯ll get better slowly. Wanyuan¡¯s charm will make everyone crazy for her one day.¡± Tang Yin had not followed the entertainment industry in the past few years.

    It was only after taking over Xia Wanyuan that she learned about her past.

    She could not believe that the uncouth, arrogant, and unreasonable Xia Wanyuan that theizens had mentioned was the person she knew.

    But at the same time, she was filled with admiration for Xia Wanyuan.

    Although she didn¡¯t know how Xia Wanyuan had survived, she felt that the current Xia Wanyuan could be said to be a phoenix undergoing nirvana. Sooner orter, the phoenix would cry out in the nine heavens and soar through the four seas.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was soon night time. Because she had sent a preview in advance, there were already some true love fans waiting on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    It was half-past seven when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream started on time.

    ¡°Good evening, everyone.¡±

    Weibo live-stream was different from Cat¡¯s Tooth live-stream. The Weibo interface was very small and was very suitable for phone users.

    Hence, this led to the live broadcast on Weibo. If one was slightly closer, their face would fill the entire screen.

    Xia Wanyuan had simple makeup on, but her facial features were too good. With a little adjustment, she had an amazing beauty.

    [ Mommy, this beautiful face is killing me! ]

    [ Respirator, respirator, I think I see a god. ]

    [ Boohoo, look good, look good. Forgive me for being poor at words. I only know how to praise people. She¡¯s too beautiful. Oh my god. ]

    In this superficial world, the moment Xia Wanyuan showed her face, the poprity of the live-stream soared, and the gift special effects kept lighting up.

    Furthermore, a celebrity¡¯s live-stream was originally more eye-catching than an inte celebrity¡¯s live-stream. Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream¡¯s poprity ranked in the top three on Weibo. Many passers-by surged in and became even more popr.

    ¡°Can you see clearly?¡± It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time using Weibo for a live broadcast, so she was still a little unfamiliar. To verify the camera, Xia Wanyuan leaned closer to the camera.

    Her long eyshes were distinct, and her tall nose bridge drew a beautiful arc in the camera.

    [! I can¡¯t see clearly! Lean closer!]

    [ Oh my god!!! I dere! I¡¯m going to be a fan of Xia Wanyuan. Yes, I¡¯m so superficial. How can she be so good-looking? ]

    [ What¡¯s so good about stic surgery? ]

    [ The hater in front, get lost and don¡¯t send me off. I think you¡¯re blind. How can your stic surgery be so magical? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan, smile! Let me pluck all the stars for you, okay? ]

    [She¡¯s really good-looking. No wonder I¡¯ve always heard of Xia Wanyuan being arrogant and despotic in the past. I want to say that if you give me this face, I¡¯ll be able to walk wherever I want. ]

    [ I also want to go to the sky and question Nuwa today. Smile jpg, why is she so biased even though we¡¯re both her daughters? ]

    Xia Wanyuan adjusted the equipment and looked at thements on the screen. She was amused.

    With thisugh, the entire live-stream erupted.

 Chapter 233 - The Princess Is Invincible With Bringing in Sales

    <h4>Chapter 233: The Princess Is Invincible With Bringing in Sales</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was originally very close to the camera, so she was amused by thements on the screen, revealing a row of neat teeth. A small dimple could be seen on her right cheek, and the corners of her eyes were smiling.

    It was as if the spring breeze of March carried warmth as it blew up a gorgeous pear blossom.

    [ F*ck!!! This smile! Charming smile! I¡¯m dead! ]

    [ Her lips are bright on the outside and her teeth are clean on the inside. She has bright eyes and a bearing rights. ]

    [ The sister in front, you know how to praise. Unlike me, I only know how to praise 666. ]

    [ I suddenly understand King You of Zhou¡¯s actions of ying with the feudal lords. If this beauty was in front of me, I would be willing to y with the feudal lords in the world to make her smile. ]

    [ I¡¯m sorry, I suddenly understand how happy King Zhou is. If such a woman was in front of me, I would definitely be a fatuous ruler who doesn¡¯t leave his house every day. ]

    [ I¡¯m so angry, I¡¯m so angry. Nuwa,e out and exin to me why you made her look so beautiful and why you made her look so ugly! ]

    Because her poprity had suddenly soared, Weibo began to push Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream.

    The passers-by who hade in to take a look because they were bored were attacked with such a smile.

    Hence, after entering,hey ver left.

    [ Did Yuan Yuan ept the endorsement for Hays? ]

    ¡°It¡¯s not an endorsement, it¡¯s just a product promotion. The live broadcast today is mainly to promote the two new vors of Hai Yi potato chips. Then, I¡¯ll start eating.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had never done promotions before, so Tang Yin told her to just let nature take its course and show the deliciousness of the food to the audience. Hence, Xia Wanyuan did not n to talk much and directly tore open a bag of potato chips, throwing a piece into her mouth.

    [??? Aren¡¯t you going to warm up the atmosphere? Beauty, you¡¯re too honest. You ate it directly. ]

    [ Hahahaha, okay. What a strange scene. Let¡¯s not talk too much and just eat. ]

    After Xia Wanyuan came to the modern world, she had also bought potato chips to eat.

    However, this time, there were two new vors. Xia Wanyuan had never eaten them before, so she tasted them extremely carefully.

    ¡°This is lime-vored. The main taste is still salty, but it has the fragrance of lemons. It¡¯s fresh and refreshing and tastes pretty good.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan ate, she described the texture of the potato chips. The audience watched on eagerly in thements, almost drooling.

    After tasting the green-packaged lime vor, Xia Wanyuan opened another bag of yellow ones.

    ¡°This is honey butter-vored, but this one has a mixed taste. When I bit it just now, it has the sweet fragrance of honey. After chewing it, it¡¯s a little salty. The taste of the butter is very rich. The overall feeling of this vor is very mellow and quite delicious.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not praising them for the sake of promoting their products, but she really felt that these two vors were delicious.

    Xia Wanyuan was curious about everything new in the modern world, so she appeared extremely serious when she tasted the potato chips.

    Because she felt that it was delicious from the bottom of her heart, the satisfaction that Xia Wanyuan exuded infected everyone in the live-stream.

    When she was eating happily, Xia Wanyuan would smile in satisfaction, her eyes shining like fine diamonds.

    ¡°It¡¯s a little dry. I¡¯ll get a drink.¡±

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan returned to the live-stream and showed the ss bottle in her hand to the people in the live-stream.

    ¡°This is a green plum beverage that I¡¯ve recently quite liked. Its vor is very faint and fresh. It¡¯s just nice to be used to satisfy my cravings.¡±

    The potato chip promotion that Xia Wanyuan understood was just promoting potato chips.

    Hence, when others in the live-stream shouted exaggeratedly for the sake of selling goods and had to flip out the history of the product¡¯s eighteen generations of ancestors to tell the audience.

    Xia Wanyuan quietly ate potato chips and drank her drink in front of the camera.

    Xia Wanyuan put the chips into her mouth piece by piece. The crunching sound of the chips was especially clear.

    [ I can¡¯t take it anymore. She¡¯s eating so well!! Those who don¡¯t know might think that it¡¯s some delicacy in the world. ]

    [ It smells so good. She¡¯s so cute. She¡¯s moving like a little hamster. She¡¯s too cute. ]

    [ I swear, I¡¯ve never eaten fried food, but I¡¯m craving potato chips by looking at Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯ve decided to order my first potato chip in my life. ]

    [Lime and honey butter, right? I¡¯ll arrange it immediately! ]

    [ I can tell that she really thinks it¡¯s delicious. Her eyes are shining. How delicious must it be? I¡¯ll try it too. ]

    ¡°It¡¯s time. Bye, everyone. If you¡¯re interested in the two vors of potato chips today, you can click on the link in my Weibo and buy them at the official gship store.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she switched off the live broadcast without any hesitation.

    The audience was watching with relish when the live broadcast suddenly ended. They were left wanting for more.

    They swarmed into the official gship store to order thetest vors.

    They had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was just a small celebrity and could not bring up much sales. Hence, on a daily basis, thepany had only added one more customer service staff to help deal with the orders that might increase.

    Unexpectedly, too many people flooded in, causing the official website server of the gship store to copse.

    The customer service staff were extremely busy, but there were still arge number of orders that could not be handled.

    Only then did the people below hurriedly report to their superiors. Their superiors hurriedly transferred ten temporary customer service staff over, which temporarily resolved the crisis.

    At this moment, Hays began to reevaluate Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to promote goods. After the backstage staff tabted, they realized that¡­

    Almost 95% of the people who had watched Xia Wanyuan eat the potato chips in her live-stream had ordered.

    Even the world-famous promotion queen did not have such good promotion ability.

    The manager of the marketing department of the Hays China potato chips department thought about it and organized the data overnight. He wrote a report and sent it to the headquarters, proposing to make an exception and hire Xia Wanyuan as the spokesperson for the potato chips.

    It was not only the potato chips. The bottle of green plum juice that Xia Wanyuan had drunk during the live broadcast had also been dug out by curiousizens. The vast army of purchasers directly ttened the official website of the green plum juice.

    The green plum juice was a product under the domestic brand of the Cattle Drink. As it had just been developed and was still in the trial phase, it was not popr yet. Hence, there was very little stock. Almost instantly, it was bought clean by theizens.

    While they were still looking for promoters for this green plum juice, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unintentional actions during the live broadcast had attracted the attention of the brand.

    The person in charge of the publicity for the green plum juice looked for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information and felt that she was a person with great potential. He immediately agreed and asked his subordinates to contact Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager as soon as possible to have her ept the promotion job.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After eating two bags of potato chips during the live broadcast, Xia Wanyuan digested her food and sleptte. She slept a little more the next day. Just as she woke up, Chen Yun and Tang Yin rushed over.

    ¡°Wanyuan,e with us quickly. The red carpet tonight is very important. You have to dress up properly.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to go out. The stylist is already here,¡± Xia Wanyuan said leisurely as she watched the car slowly drive in.

    ¡°??!!¡± Tang Yin and Chen Yun followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze and looked outside.

    A handsome man with silver hair was getting off the sports car.

 Chapter 234 - Mu Fengs Style

    <h4>Chapter 234: Mu Feng¡¯s Style</h4>

    Tang Yin had left the entertainment industry for six years, so she naturally did not recognize who this was.

    Chen Yun, who was at the side, recognized him and whispered to Tang Yin about how amazing Mu Feng was.

    ¡°That amazing?¡± Tang Yin looked at the man who was walking over with an unruly aura in great surprise. The current entertainment industry was really pushed forward by the future generations. She did not expect that such a young man would actually be the most respected genius stylist in the industry.

    ¡°Good morning.¡±

    Mu Feng was used to staying upte, so he waved at Xia Wanyuan with sleepy eyes.

    ¡°Good morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°How much time do we have left?¡± Mu Feng had always been straightforward in his actions, asking Tang Yin directly.

    ¡°Seven hours.¡± The female artiste was attending an event. It was not as if she could finish packing and dolling up in half an hour or an hour.

    For celebrities, they need to be dressed intricately from head to toe when they participated in events.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Mu Feng snapped his fingers. ¡°Let¡¯s begin. Where¡¯s the dressing room?¡±

    There were all kinds of rooms in the manor. Ever since Xia Wanyuan moved into the manor, Uncle Wang had specially instructed someone to open up two rooms and specially renovate them into a dressing room that was nearly 300 square meters in area.

    ¡°This is simply the wardrobe for all women¡¯s dreams.¡± Following Xia Wanyuan into the dressing room, Tang Yin could not help but exim softly.

    As far as the eye could see, there were rows of transparent wardrobes hung with all kinds of clothing from the current season. A row of dresses, a row of shirts, a row of pants, and in the middle of the room were many ss cabs filled with all kinds of jewelry.

    Watches, jewelry, and essories were dazzling under the light.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the soft chair and sat down.

    ¡°Begin.¡± With Mu Feng¡¯smand, the five stylists waiting at the manor¡¯s headquarters moved and surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    There were those who permed hair, did manicure and those who took care of her skin. As for the most important makeup and clothes, they were personally done by Mu Feng. Everything proceeded busily and orderly.

    In order for Xia Wanyuan to attend the g without any mistakes, Tang Yin and Chen Yun sorted out the list of participants and some things to take note of.

    ¡°Now I know why this Mu Feng is being chased by people in the entertainment industry at such a young age.¡±

    Every once in a while, Tang Yin would turn her head to look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation. Then, she was stunned by a change that was practically visible to the naked eye.

    Time passed slowly. The other stylists slowlypleted their tasks and left.

    Mu Feng was finalizing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outline. When the final stroke ended, Mu Feng took half a step back. He studied her for a moment and then nodded. ¡°Perfect.¡±

    ¡°The evening gown is ready. Please choose.¡± At that moment, Uncle Wang appeared at the door. The servant behind him pushed a fewrge racks of dresses in.

    She did not know how many thin diamonds were embedded in her dress, but every piece of it glistened under the light.

    Mu Feng¡¯s fingers bushed past them one by one. When he saw thest piece, a satisfied look finally appeared in his eyes. ¡°This one.¡±

    By the time Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes with the help of the servants and appeared at the door again, Chen Yun and Tang Yin were already stunned.

    However, Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were extremely clear and satisfied. His skills were indeed the most perfect.

    Apple Video was thergest video tform in the country. Its ¡°Starlight Ceremony¡± had always received attention.

    The tform was huge, and so was their reputation. The big celebrities that an average person would have much difficulty inviting would all appear in the ¡°Starlight Ceremony¡±.

    Other than the fact that there would be some fans at the scene, in order to collect as much viewership as possible, the ¡°Starlight Ceremony¡± had even opened a live-stream channel. Before the ceremony began, fans of every family were already waiting in the live-stream.

    [ Yan Ci! Yan Ci! Yan Ci! Wuwuwu, Mommy loves you! ]

    [ Wow, I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here. When will the red carpet start? I can¡¯t wait to see our Bo Yi. Boohoo. ]

    [ Will my little cutie Tao Xi wear a beautiful dress today? I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time. ]

    [ Superggy, superggy. Why are there so many people? The card is dead. What a lousy server. ]

    [ What time does it start? Hurry up. ]

    The sky finally darkened slowly. As night fell, the g began its countdown.

    From the entrance of the hall to the main hall, there was a 300-meter long red carpet. Under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, the first celebrity finally slowly appeared.

    The moment the elegant and handsome young man appeared, he attracted the fanaticism in thements.

    Wherever there were fans, there would be fights. Even when watching the live broadcast of the ceremony, everyone had to fight for the face of the bullet screen. Every time their idol appeared, the fans had to desperately brush their names on the bullet screen, afraid that when their idol appeared, thements would be fewer than others.

    Every time a popr celebrity passed by, thements would be like waves, setting off waves of climaxes. When those celebrities with few fans passed by, there were only a few sporadicments.

    Slowly, an hour passed. Some of the popr celebrities on the list had basically finished walking. There was nothing to see on the red carpet anymore, and the fans lost interest. They urged the director to quickly cut the camera into the hall.

    At this moment, a ck MPV suddenly appeared in the camera. It seemed like another celebrity had arrived.

    For some reason, as they looked at the car, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

    A middle-aged man in a T-shirt got out first. The middle-aged man opened the car door and an extremely beautiful woman in a red shirt got out.

    She was pretty, but everyone searched their minds.?<i>Was there such a person in the entertainment industry?</i>

    The young fans were still wondering if they were too ignorant. They had not realized that such a person existed in the entertainment industry.

    Some of the older fans who knew more about the past of the entertainment industry were shocked.?<i>Isn¡¯t that Tang Yin?!!</i>

    Tang Yin was a famous gold medal manager back then. She single-handedly produced the best actors Li and Liu Xingchuan, as their charming manager. She could be said to have been extremely popr in the entertainment industry back then.

    However, six years ago, for some reason, Tang Yin suddenly announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry. At the same time, Fu Li also issued a statement and announced his break with Liu Xingchuan.

    Ever since then, the iron triangle that was rumored to be a hit fell apart and a legendary manager fell.

    Back then, many people had also dug up the reason for Tang Yin¡¯s departure. The most convincing one was that Tang Yin might have an inexplicable rtionship with Liu Xingchuan. And the exposure of Liu Xingchuan and the movie queen Shi Tian¡¯s rtionship might be an important reason to agitate Tang Yin into leaving.

    But looking at this situation, could it be that Tang Yin hade back? Or was she using her identity as an actress?

    While everyone was confused, Tang Yin got out of the car but did not walk onto the red carpet. Instead, she stood at the door as if she was waiting for the person inside toe out.

 Chapter 235 - Walking the Red Carpet being Breathtaking

    <h4>Chapter 235: Walking the Red Carpet being Breathtaking</h4>

    With the live broadcast camera, a pair of white jade-like feet stepped out of the car first. When she stepped on the tied ck high heels, her slender feet looked as white as porcin.

    The ten-centimeter high heels drew a beautiful arc. The audience, who had felt that it was meaningless and wanted to leave, was suddenly attracted by this scene, wanting to see how the owner of the feet was graceful.

    When the shoesnded, arge sea of stars suddenly spilled out of the car. A white wrist was ced beside the car. The person in the car lowered her head and walked down the door. When she stood still, she finally looked up.

    Thousands of lights gathered and the myriad of gxies were raised.

    She took away breaths after breaths.

    A tube top gown outlined Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perfect corbone, making her neck look even more slender. Her hair was tied up high with a hair clip in the shape of a star that was covered in diamonds. The end of her long earrings had two crescents, and her waist was tied up, making her slender waist look slender.

    The most amazing thing about the entire gown was that it gradually turned into a deep starry color from top to bottom. It was as if the entire vast gxy was wearing it.

    Hundreds of thousands of small crystals fell on the wide hem of her dress. As she walked, the hem of her dress glistened like the sea of stars at night.

    The magnificent gown required the temperament of the person dressed to suppress it, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face clearly surpassed the sea of stars that filled the sky, making this sea of stars her foil.

    [ Unfortunately, I¡¯m uneducated. Other than spamming 666 and F*ck, I can¡¯t think of any other words to describe my heart. ]

    [ Who is this little sister? Oh my god!!!!!! She¡¯s too beautiful!! She must be a god! ]

    [ This is Xia Wanyuan. Don¡¯t you know her? ]

    [ Who is Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ The Heavenly Spirit Princess in ¡°The Long Bad¡± that was recently broadcast. She acted quite well. ]

    [ Think about it. I¡¯m a anti-fan who has criticized Xia Wanyuan for two years. At this moment, I actually want to be her fan because of her beauty¡­ She has the looks of a god. I¡¯m sorry. I used to say that she was ugly. I was blind. ]

    [ It seems that when Yan Ci walked past previously, someone even said that Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t even worthy of brushing Yan Ci¡¯s shoes. I want to say that if this isn¡¯t even worthy of carrying Yan Ci¡¯s shoes, I don¡¯t even have the chance to wash Yan Ci¡¯s toilet bowl. ]

    [ Take away Yan Ci and give him beauty. ]

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how she had attracted the enthusiasm of thements. At that moment, she had a feeling.

    <i>The dress was really heavy.</i>

    <i>It was even heavier than the pce attire in my previous life.</i>

    Thements were still noisy. Xia Wanyuan had already strode towards the signature area.

    Strictly speaking, models and celebrities were separated into categories. There were no especially strict requirements for celebrities¡¯ footsteps, bearing, and in the industry. Of course, they were generous and confident. Raising their heads and sticking out their chests was something that most celebrities could do.

    However, in terms of elegance, the entertainment industry did not ce much importance on it.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was different. The royal family valued etiquette the most. Ever since Xia Wanyuan was born, she had been taught the strictest manners.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was looking straight ahead with a hint of a smile on her lips. She walked leisurely, gracefully, and the gxy shed as she walked. However, no matter how beautiful her dress was, it could not ignore the elegance andposure of her leisurely stroll.

    It was as if everyone present was her subjects and she was the leisurely patrolling queen.

    The shutter sound in the venue rose and fell, and thements outside the venue had already entered a state of stagnation.

 Chapter 236 - Ruan Yingyus Scheme

    <h4>Chapter 236: Ruan Yingyu¡¯s Scheme</h4>

    Everyone was already stunned. They did not even have the mood to send thements. They were afraid that thements would block the shocking beauty in front of them.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan had finished walking the red carpet that the huge screen fell silent.

    The people backstage were quite puzzled.?<i>Could it be that there was a problem with the bullet screen system again?</i>

    The staff hurriedly got up and looked for the technician to read thements.

    Just as the backstage staff left, thements erupted like a volcano.

    And this time, it had nothing to do with supporting their idol or thepetitiveness between the fans. It was all because they had been conquered by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty and bearing.

    This time, thements were even more than the topments in front.

    Xia Wanyuan entered the venue. There were only fifteen minutes until the start of the ceremony. Almost everyone was already seated, and the host on stage was warming up the venue.

    On therge screen on the stage, cameras kept sweeping across the celebrities in the venue, showing everyone¡¯s reactions.

    Apanied by Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan was slowly walking down the aisle to find her position when the camera suddenly pointed at her, imprinting her entire person on the big screen.

    There was a suddenmotion in the venue. Xia Wanyuan looked up in confusion and saw herself standing under the dim light with her skirt in hand on the screen.

    The others present turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was like a goddess of the night.

    The male celebrities were stunned.

    The rm in the hearts of the female celebrities rang.

    Every red carpet and ceremony was the best PK venue for celebrities to fight over. What they wore and whether they looked good or not would bepared online.

    The female celebrities who were still thinking of how to post suddenly lost their confidence when they saw this little celebrity who had appeared out of nowhere.

    Ruan Yingyu looked enviously at Xia Wanyuan, who had be the center of attention. The hatred in her eyes was so thick that it could not be dissipated.

    After finding the location of the production team, Qin Wu and the others looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly walking over, in a daze. ¡°Sit here.¡± Qin Wu stood up and made way for her.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat down. The ceremony was about to begin.

    The host invited the guest winners one by one and the Best Actor and Best Actress went on stage to receive the award.

    The production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± was a potential IP award for a team. No award-winning actor went on stage alone.

    However, the director seemed to understand everyone¡¯s thoughts very well. He made the camera constantly scan the location of the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. Although Xia Wanyuan did not win an award, as an audience, she had more screen time than many people who had won an award.

    The time for the ceremony was usually very long. After two to three hours, the people on the scene began to feel a little tired. However, no matter when the camera switched to Xia Wanyuan, she was as elegant and calm as ever.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been listening intently. This ceremony was the best way to help her quickly sort out the current situation in the entertainment industry. Hence, Xia Wanyuan found this rather boring award ceremony very interesting.

    Three and a half hourster, the ceremony finally ended. It was the first time they had reunited since the filming had ended.

    Director Yang immediately suggested that everyone gather and take a photo.

    Upon hearing Director Yang¡¯s suggestion, Ruan Yingyu looked at Xia Wanyuan with a ruthless glint in her eyes.

 Chapter 237 - The Princess Is Drunk, Master Jun Wants to Cry

    <h4>Chapter 237: The Princess Is Drunk, Master Jun Wants to Cry</h4>

    Although it was called a gathering, it was actually just a simple dessert and supper. Everyone could chat and take photos together.

    After all, this was a ceremony and everyone was dressed up.

    Especially for actresses, the dresses they wore were all rather expensive. One of them could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Furthermore, many of these dresses did not belong to them. They had borrowed them from brands.

    Although the clothes on the male actors were lighter than evening gowns with oversized skirts, they were still expensive.

    Hong¡¯an Hotel, which was beside the Hong¡¯an auditorium, was only a few steps away. It was undoubtedly the best ce for everyone.

    Director Yang brought everyone to the restaurant and booked a private room. There were eleven people, and they sat at the same table.

    ¡°Director, I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± When they arrived at the private room, Director Yang was chatting with everyone when Ruan Yingyu walked out the door.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Ruan Yingyu, who was struggling to move forward with the hem of her dress, and raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we wrapped up filming.¡± Director Yang was a little emotional. ¡°The reason why the drama ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ could achieve such results today is all thanks to everyone¡¯s hard work.¡±

    ¡°Director Yang, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, everyone. After filming this drama, although we will still be in the same industry in the future, I¡¯m afraid there will be very few opportunities to meet. It¡¯s also rare for us to gather like today. Everyone, take care of yourselves in the future.¡±

    After Director Yang finished speaking, he pulled everyone to take a photo together.

    ¡°Director Yang, Ruan Yingyu isn¡¯t back yet.¡± Just as he finished speaking, Ruan Yingyu appeared at the door.

    ¡°Sorry to have kept you waiting.¡± Ruan Yingyu smiled apologetically and hurriedly sat down.

    ¡°Come, waiter, bring the wine sses over. After everyone drinks this dish, we will have to throw away the journey of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ and walk towards the updated road.¡±

    As Director Yang spoke, the waiter at the side began to distribute the fruit wine on the te.

    Starting from Director Yang, they distributed the drinks one by one. When it came to Xia Wanyuan, there were only two sses left on the te. Sitting beside Xia Wanyuan was Ruan Yingyu.

    The waiter nervously reached for the wine on the te. However, for some reason, his wrist lost strength and the te fell. Xia Wanyuan reached out to help catch it.

    ¡°Be careful.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly, making the waiter blush.

    ¡°Miss, this is your wine.¡± The waiter ced the fruit wine in front of Xia Wanyuan with a flushed face and ced the remaining ss in front of Ruan Yingyu.

    ¡°Here, cheers.¡± Director Yang raised his ss and everyone clinked sses.

    With a click, the camera recorded the moment the production team gathered.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alcohol tolerance was excellent. After drinking, she neither blushed nor drank. Hence, Xia Wanyuan drank the entire ss of fruit wine.

    Ruan Yingyu watched from the side as Xia Wanyuan finished the wine in her cup. A look of victory shed across her eyes. She picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of the wine.

    After drinking, Director Yang chatted with everyone for a while. It was almost 11 o¡¯clock.

    Initially, everyone did not think much of it. Now that they had really parted, an indescribable bitterness surged in their hearts.

    Qin Wu secretly nced at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes filled with bitterness.

    ¡°Hopefully we¡¯ll meet again.¡± Director Yang cupped his hands at everyone and left the room.

    Xia Wanyuan held her skirt and slowly walked out the door.

    ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Wanyuan, why don¡¯t I send you back?¡± Qin Wu hesitated before following Xia Wanyuan and asking.

    ¡°Thank you for your kindness, but my manager and the rest are waiting for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.?<i>If Qin Wu sent me off, we would probably be on the headlines tomorrow.</i>

    ¡°Okay, then you, be careful and have a good rest tonight.¡± Qin Wu held back for a long time and didn¡¯t know what to say. He could only say a few words of concern. However, on second thought, Xia Wanyuan had a boyfriend.?<i>Wasn¡¯t my concern unnecessary?</i>?He immediately felt a little annoyed.

    ¡°Thank you for your concern.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt his kindness and immediately thanked Qin Wu seriously.

    Seeing the seriousness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Qin Wu¡¯s heart was happy and sour.

    <i>She was too good. So good that even if she didn¡¯t like me, I still feel that she is a very good person.</i>

    Qin Wu was about to say something when a ck Phantom suddenly honked.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked, her eyes filled with smiles. ¡°Someone¡¯s here to pick me up. I¡¯ll get going first. Goodbye.¡± Then, she walked towards the ck car.

    When Qin Wu saw the hint of a warm smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, his heart had already turned cold. He could only stand on the spot and watch Xia Wanyuan leave sadly.

    Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan had a ceremony today, so he didn¡¯t go home directly after work. He watched the live broadcast of the ceremony in his office and estimated that it was almost over, so he came to pick her up.

    Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would see Xia Wanyuan smiling at Qin Wu? Jun Shiling¡¯s heart instantly felt as if it had been soaked in Old Chen¡¯s vinegar for thirty years, sour and angry.

    However, looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a starry dress and slowly walking over under the moonlight, Jun Shiling felt that the anger in his heart had been suppressed.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± The chauffeur opened the door for Xia Wanyuan, who sat in and took the teacup from Jun Shiling before taking a sip of hot tea.

    ¡°It¡¯s toote, it¡¯s not safe,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly, then instructed the chauffeur, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Master Jun.¡±

    Sitting in the warm carriage, without the rity of the night breeze, Xia Wanyuan felt her mind begin to turn chaotic. The aftertaste of the cup of fruit wine began to kick in.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that her limbs were a little weak, and her face gradually flushed red from being drunk.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had a good alcohol tolerance, so she drank arge ss of wine without worry.

    However, what she did not know was that the original owner of the body could not hold her liquor well. The night the original owner of the body died of alcohol poisoning, she only drank three sses.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Jun Shiling leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.

    Caught off guard, he felt a moist and warm breath on his neck. A pair of warm arms wrapped around his waist.

    Jun Shiling opened his eyes abruptly and saw Xia Wanyuan wrapped around him. His throat tightened. ¡°Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    After the previous lesson, the chauffeur had learned his lesson. The moment he sensed something amiss, he raised the partition between the front and back seats.

    <i>Hehe, I didn¡¯t see anything this time.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan, who had already fallen into a deep stupor, only wanted to hug her pillow and sleep.

    <i>But why did this pillow not feel too soft? Am I wrong?</i>?Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand slowly groped around.

    That pair of soft hands slowly touched his chest from his waist and slid down again. Just as it was about to cross his waist and continue moving down, Jun Shiling¡¯s entire body was already tensed up.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan!¡± Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and lifted her chin. He saw a blur of drunkenness in her eyes.

    The fragrance of the fruit wine wafted out of her nose, and her red lips were as alluring as the most delicious cherry.

 Chapter 238 - Sweet and Sweet

    <h4>Chapter 238: Sweet and Sweet</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened, and he gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not react, Jun Shiling approached her slightly and could smell the obvious fragrance of alcohol. Jun Shiling frowned. He guessed that Xia Wanyuan was extremely drunk.

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin and wanted to get a wet wipe for her.

    However, the drunk Xia Wanyuan did not realize that as soon as Jun Shiling let go, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head tilted. Jun Shiling could only reach out to support the back of her head.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head was lying in Jun Shiling¡¯srge hand, making her face look especially petite and fair. She tilted her head slightly and pouted her pink lips, looking very obedient.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan lying obediently in his palm, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart stirred. His fiery gaze swept across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face inch by inch. If Xia Wanyuan was awake, she would realize that the warmth in his gaze seemed to want to burn her to ashes.

    After a long time, Jun Shiling sighed.

    <i>She¡¯s drunk and unconscious.</i>

    Jun Shiling kept reminding himself.

    Finally, he barely suppressed the raging fire in his heart. Jun Shiling supported her head and let her lean on his shoulder. His hand wrapped around her waist to hold her still.

    As if he had finally calmed down, Jun Shiling loosened his tie and finally rxed a little.

    But not long after, Xia Wanyuan frowned again.

    The aftertaste of the wine was strong, and waves of heat attacked her. Xia Wanyuan only wanted to find a cool ce to lean on.

    Jun Shiling had just heaved a sigh of relief when Xia Wanyuan suddenly moved.

    The two of them were originally very close to each other. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s proud chest was pressed against Jun Shiling¡¯s body. In just a moment, it evoked Jun Shiling¡¯s soaring mes.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand was released. She hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and groped around unconsciously.

    Her red lips pressed against Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. ¡°It¡¯s so hot.¡±

    Jun Shiling gritted his teeth. At that moment, there was no warmth in his eyes, but they seemed even more unfathomable. He raised Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and stared into her blurred eyes.

    ¡°Who am I?¡± Jun Shiling asked, his voice extremely hoarse.

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes and looked at it, but did not respond.

    ¡°Who am I?¡± Jun Shiling asked again, as if he had to get an answer.

    Xia Wanyuan could faintly see a familiar blurry figure in front of her. The tip of her nose was filled with the cold pine fragrance she was used to every day.

    <i>Isn¡¯t this easy to guess?</i>?Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and seemed to smile smugly. The light in her eyes was even more dazzling than the gxy that filled her skirt.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan said softly. Just as she finished speaking, the cold pine fragrance flooded towards her.

    The drunk Xia Wanyuan was extremely obedient. Furthermore, due to her unconscious trust in this cold pine fragrance, not only did Xia Wanyuan not dodge, but she also obediently hugged Jun Shiling in front of her, leaning her entire body softly into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling, who was still tasting the cherry, became agitated by her entrustment. He gave up on the sweet cherry and knocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s teeth open.

    Like a king surveying his territory, Jun Shiling swept across every corner of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth with great aggression.

    Bite, grind, sweep¡­

    In a daze, Xia Wanyuan only felt that the tip of her tongue was numb and somewhat thirsty. She subconsciously stuck out her tongue. The invading force stopped for a moment, then became agitated, as if it was ten times fiercer than before.

    After a long time, Jun Shiling finally used all his self-control to retreat from the sweet fragrance when he sensed that Xia Wanyuan could not breathe.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was lying limply in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. Her bright red lips were slightly swollen. Her lipstick had dropped a lot, but the beautiful bright red color did not fade at all. She was like a fiery red rose that had been drenched in the rain, exuding a tender but charming charm.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had her eyes closed, restrained the coldness in her eyes. Her long eyshes drooped. It was unknown what she had dreamed of, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She consciously rubbed against Jun Shiling¡¯s hand to find a suitable position.

    Jun Shiling stared fixedly at Xia Wanyuan for a while before suddenlyughing. ¡°How easy to bully.¡±

    Thousands of stars shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes with the deepest indulgence and the most gentle smile. The orchid trees and the snow turned into streams of light. Unfortunately, no one could see such a magnificent scene.

    He tucked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair behind her ear and gently pulled her away. Xia Wanyuan consciously hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and leaned her head obediently in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She finally quieted down.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who trusted him wholeheartedly. His eyes were warm. ¡°Stupid woman.¡±

    The car finally arrived at the manor, but the chauffeur did not dare to get out of the car and open the door. He waited in the driver¡¯s seat while trembling.

    As a professional chauffeur, he knew that he could not disturb the feelings between men and women! After all, he needs the golden rice bowl of the Jun family.

    However, not long after he stopped the car, Jun Shiling knocked on the partition. The chauffeur hurriedly got out of the car and saw that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were dressed normally. A strange look of regret shed across the chauffeur¡¯s eyes.

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan and walked into the house. The servants hurriedly weed him.

    Go and tidy up the secondary bedroom.¡± Xia Wanyuan had drunk alcohol and was not suitable to sleep with Jun Yin.

    By the time Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the secondary bedroom, the room had already been tidied up by the servants. Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the bed and waited by the side for the servants to change into her pajamas.

    After dismissing the servant, Jun Shiling pulled the nket over and covered her with it. After quietly watching Xia Wanyuan sleep obediently, Jun Shiling got up and prepared to sleep with Xiao Bao in the master bedroom.

    However, just as he turned around, someone grabbed his arm. Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan pinching his sleeve.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t let me leave.¡± Jun Shilingughed. The drunk Xia Wanyuan seemed especially clingy.

    Just as he pulled open the nket andy down, Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist tightly. Her head automatically found the best position to lie in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He hugged Xia Wanyuanpletely in his arms. The nket was warm, and their bodies¡¯ warmth seeped into each other through the thin clothes.

    Jun Shiling reached out to turn off the light. Xia Wanyuan, who had suddenly fallen into darkness, leaned even closer to Jun Shiling.

    Although the lights were off, Jun Shiling could imagine Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obedient and soft appearance. His heart melted.

    He lowered his head and gently kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead, drawing her closer to him.

    ¡°Why are you so easy to bully?¡± Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and smiled, but he did not do anything else. He hugged Xia Wanyuan and fell asleep peacefully.

 Chapter 239 - Waking Up in the Morning

    <h4>Chapter 239: Waking Up in the Morning</h4>

    The morning breeze carried the smell of clear lotus on theke as it blew into the bedroom on the second floor, bringing with it a hint of clear coolness.

    The sunlight shone through the French windows and shone on her feet. Sensing the heat, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.

    ¡­¡­..

    It was a familiar scene. Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. As expected, she was hugging Jun Shiling¡¯s waist tightly again. The two of them were extremely close. She could even clearly feel Jun Shiling¡¯s normal reaction in the morning.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red. She slowly retracted her hand and stepped back.

    This action woke Jun Shiling up.

    Jun Shiling seemed to have had a bad sleep. His eyes were still bloodshot.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had a low and maic voice. It was like an electric current that exploded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears, making her heart tingle.

    ¡°You¡­ I¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan stammered for once. Suddenly, she thought of something. She lowered her head and saw that she was wearing pajamas.?<i>Wasn¡¯t I wearing a gownst night?!</i>

    ¡°Nanny Li helped you change your clothes,¡± Jun Shiling said when he sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s panic.

    ¡°Then what about us?¡±

    ¡°You forgot?¡± A hint of a smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but his expression was extremely serious. ¡°You were drunk yesterday. I carried you back, but you held onto me and didn¡¯t let go. I wanted to go and sleep with Jun Yin. When I let go, you looked so wronged that it was as if you were going to cry.¡±

    ??

    There was obvious doubt in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.?<i>Did I really do that?</i>

    However, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was extremely serious. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had always been a man of his word in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart. There was no need for him to lie to her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression turned even more rosy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was drunk and didn¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Can I get up now?¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head, so she could not see. At that moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with a smile.

    ¡°Get up. Why are you asking me?¡±

    ¡°I was afraid you would still need a pillow.¡± As Jun Shiling thought, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°Leave quickly.¡± The cold pine fragrance from Jun Shiling surrounded her, making Xia Wanyuan feel uneasy. Furthermore, she did not need to look up to know that Jun Shiling must be smiling teasingly. Xia Wanyuan felt embarrassed.

    <i>I won¡¯t drink anymore next time. I must change the habit of hugging something when I sleep.</i>

    ¡°Then sleep a little more.¡± Jun Shiling stopped teasing Xia Wanyuan and lifted the nket to get up.

    Jun Shiling had left, but the aura around him was still there. Taking a gentle breath, the air was filled with the fragrance of pine. Xia Wanyuan had failed to fall asleep.

    After washing up, Jun Shiling was eating breakfast downstairs when Xia Wanyuan went downstairs.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep a little more? Do you have work today?¡± Jun Shiling had thought that Xia Wanyuan needed to sleep again.

    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s question reminded Xia Wanyuan of the cold pine scent that had lingered on the bed just now. Then, she couldn¡¯t help but think of the heat she had felt in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms in the morning.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed again.

    Jun Shiling handed Xia Wanyuan a pair of chopsticks and looked up to see the blush on her face. Seeing how awkward she was, Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

 Chapter 240 - Sweet and Adorable

    <h4>Chapter 240: Sweet and Adorable</h4>

    ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Jun Shiling restrained the smile in his eyes and interacted with Xia Wanyuan very naturally.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the chopsticks, but she felt uneasy. For some reason, she felt that the pine fragrance on Jun Shiling was especially obvious today.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan rarely noticed the perfume Jun Shiling used, but today, she felt that the scent was especially rich. Xia Wanyuan could not help but look up at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling, who was dressed in a suit, was sitting on a chair and eating breakfast. The cuffs on his wrists were tightly tied, making him look t and abstinent. His originally handsome facial features softened a little under the morning sun.

    His cold and arrogant temperament remained upright even while eating.

    ¡°Am I good-looking?¡± Jun Shiling swallowed a mouthful of hot porridge and suddenly looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was staring at Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan could not exin why she was staring at Jun Shiling in a daze. She could only nod and brace herself. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°Not as good-looking as you.¡± When he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not enough and added, ¡°You were very beautiful at the ceremonyst night.¡±

    He was telling the truth. He worked in thepany and had no time to see her dressed in the manor. Like the people in thements, the moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, his breathing paused.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was wrapped in the gxy, was so beautiful that it made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    ¡°En, thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was unmoved by the countless praises she had received yesterday.

    However, hearing these words from Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel somewhat embarrassed. There was even a hint of hidden joy in the depths of her heart.

    ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you eating? Aren¡¯t you hungry? You were drunk yesterday. Drink some warm milk.¡± Jun Shiling carefully ced the custard bun on the table in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl and handed the milk to her.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt a little confused, but she was in a turmoil. She did not know where to start, but when she reached out to receive the warm milk from Jun Shiling, she identally touched his hand.

    Jun Shiling was stunned, and so was Xia Wanyuan. She hurriedly retracted her hand.

    Then, Jun Shiling ced the food in front of Xia Wanyuan as if nothing had happened. He did not disturb Xia Wanyuan anymore and let her eat quietly.

    The first meal after a hangover had to be eaten properly.

    ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s usual habits, he would have gone to thepany by this time, but Jun Shiling was not in a hurry to leave today.

    Instead, he sat quietly by the side and watched Xia Wanyuan eat.

    Even Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in front of the battlefield that was filled with corpses, could eat her meal without a change in expression. For some reason, she could not eat under Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    Swallowing a custard bun with difficulty, Xia Wanyuan finally could not help but look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re pretty,¡± Jun Shiling said extremely seriously, but he could not help but smile. ¡°Do you only allow yourself to look at me but I can¡¯t look at you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was momentarily speechless by Jun Shiling¡¯s words, but she found it difficult to swallow when Jun Shiling looked at her like this.

    A momentter, under Jun Shiling¡¯s surprised gaze, Xia Wanyuan got the servant to bring the tray of food upstairs to the bedroom.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flustered back, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart softened.

    <i>Too cute, I want to hug her but I can¡¯t.</i>

    Jun Shiling sighed silently in his heart.

 Chapter 241 - Overwhelming Beauty? Convinced

    <h4>Chapter 241: Overwhelming Beauty? Convinced</h4>

    At that moment, Jun Shiling, who was sighing, hadpletely forgotten that Xia Wanyuan was still in his arms ten minutes ago.

    The ceremony endedtest night, and most of theizens had already retreated from the gossip scene.

    That morning, all sorts of trending topics regarding the ¡°Starlight Ceremony¡± flooded into Weibo.

    Apple Video was thergest video tform in the country. Since they had organized such a ceremony, they naturally had to publicize it well. Early in the morning, all kinds of news began to be promoted.

    Furthermore, because they had invited male celebrities like Yan Ci and Bo Yi, who had a lot of fans, their fans spontaneously formed fake reviewers and promoted the Starlight Ceremony everywhere.

    When everyone woke up, they took off their phones to take a look. At least fifteen of the top twenty trending searches on Weibo were about the Starlight Ceremony.

    ¡°Yan Ci¡¯s Gentleman¡¯s Hand¡±, ¡°Yan Ci¡¯s Smile¡±, ¡°Bo Yi suit¡±, ¡°Bo Yi tie¡±, ¡°Bai Lianqing¡±, ¡°Qin Xiao¡¯s Domineering Red Armor¡±, and other trending searches were densely arranged in front of everyone.

    Among so many titles, there were two especially eye-catching topics that appeared extremely ring in the trending searches.

    One was ¡°Tang Yin Reappears in the Entertainment Industry¡±.

    One was ¡°Xia Wanyuan took the crowd¡¯s breath away¡±.

    In terms of fame, Tang Yin¡¯s current fame in the entertainment industry was even greater than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    After all, Fu Li and Liu Xingchuan were the two most popr best actors in the entertainment industry now. Anyone who knew them would definitely know the legendary manager who had single-handedly brought out the two Best Actor award winners, Tang Yin.

    Furthermore, the rupture six years ago could be said to have caused an earth-shatteringmotion. At that time, almost the entire entertainment industry was paying attention to this matter. After Tang Yin announced her withdrawal, many celebrities also wanted to go to Tang Yin, hoping to be the next legend. However, Tang Yin seemed to have disappeared without a trace, disappearing from the public¡¯s sight from then on.

    This trending topic evoked everyone¡¯s memories.

    Everyone clicked on it and took a look. It was indeed that familiar figure. One of the important reasons why the matter of Tang Yin and the two Best Actor was for everyone¡¯s liking back then was that Tang Yin did not look like an ordinary manager. She was extremely beautiful, that kind of gorgeous and ostentatious beauty. She was not inferior to the two Best Actors at all.

    Although the Tang Yin in the photo was already 35 years old, she was still extremely beautiful. Six years of sediment had allowed some gentleness to settle in her once sharp eyes, making her look even more mature.

    [ She was my goddess back then. She was amazing. She single-handedly supported two Best Actor. She¡¯s really amazing. ]

    [ Are you bluffing? She¡¯s just a woman. How can she be so amazing? I guess the Best Actor did well himself. Women nowadays are so shameless. ]

    [ The person in front, why are you shaming her as a woman? Did you jump out of a crack in a rock? I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t have a mother? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t she right? Our Xingchuan has good acting skills and is hardworking. What has it got to do with a lousy manager like her? She¡¯s too good at putting gold on her face. Back then, she took the initiative to leave the industry. Who knows what she did? ]

    [ I heard that it¡¯s because she interfered in Liu Xingchuan and Shi Tian¡¯s rtionship. After all, she¡¯s been by Liu Xingchuan¡¯s side every day, so Shi Tian must be unhappy. ]

    [ Huh? No wonder. I¡¯ve always heard that she quit the industry when her career was at its best. I quite admire her. It turns out that she¡¯s a mistress. Tsk, tsk. From her appearance, she looks like a coquettish slut. One look and I can tell that she¡¯s a mistress. ]

    After eating Tang Yin¡¯s melon, everyone seemed to be picking melon seeds in the field. They swept through the rankings and became interested in the extremely arrogant trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan took the crowd¡¯s breath away¡±.

    The words ¡°taking the breath away¡± had always been a word that was attacked by everyone.?<i>How shameless must one be to dare say that they took others¡¯ breath away?</i>

    Furthermore, there were countless handsome men and beautiful women gathered at the Starlight Ceremony. No matter who they were, they were all extremely exquisite and beautiful.

    This topic was reallyughable. Everyone mocked as they clicked on this trending topic.

    The hottest topic was the nine-page photo posted by Weibo¡¯s first post, ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡±.

    In the picture, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be a fairy born from the gxy. The deep gradually changing starry blue made her skin look extremely fair, and the bright diamonds glistened.

    Some were her with her head lowered, her walking front with her head held high and her smiling.

    Every picture was breathtakingly beautiful.

    In the past, in order to attract more fans, ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡± would distribute exquisite photos of different celebrities evenly. But today, ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡± was abnormal. After posting a few popr photos, it began to crazily post Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photos.

    He posted ten consecutive posts, and only stopped after 90 photos.

    [ Big brother, control yourself!!! Ten posts! ]

    [ This is the first time I¡¯ve seen the Wind of the Gxy act so crazily. When I opened the Weibo homepage and saw ten posts, I was so frightened that I thought its ount had been hacked. ]

    [ Although, but, alright. After looking at the photos, I think I can understand the feelings of posting crazy photos. Who doesn¡¯t like beautiful goddesses! ]

    [ Probably edited. As long as you know how to photoshop it, it¡¯s fine. Just send me a photo and I¡¯ll be able to photoshop it for you to look like a goddess. What¡¯s so good about editing photos? A B-list celebrity really knows how to bribe a script for herself. ]

    [ The person in front, stop being sour. The video of the red carpet is out. If you¡¯re not blind, go and watch it yourself. ]

    Under the popr Weibo post by Wind of the Gxy was a small video posted by the officials of the Starlight Ceremony.

    Because it was from the official angle, they could clearly see Xia Wanyuan getting out of the car until she finished walking the red carpet.

    From the moment the snow feet appeared, everyone¡¯s hearts were hooked until Xia Wanyuanpletely appeared on camera.

    Wearing a sea of stars, Xia Wanyuan walked gracefully on the red carpet. Her every movement carried a graceful and noble temperament, making one involuntarily have the thought of submitting.

    In the video, the expressions and actions of the characters would appear more coherent. Hence,pared to the edited photos posted by ¡°Wind of the Gxy¡±, the Xia Wanyuan in the video appeared more lively and beautiful.

    [ Mommy, I want to go to heaven and fight Nuwa!!! Why are you making me look like this!! I¡¯m crying. ]

    [ I agree! This isn¡¯t taking everyone¡¯s breath away, who dares to say that! ]

    [ Before I clicked on it, I wanted to say who was so shameless to say that they took everyone¡¯s breath away with their beauty. After watching this video, I want to say that I¡¯m the one who hasn¡¯t seen the world. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, this is what it means to suppress the entire audience with your beauty! ]

    [ The first video I¡¯ve seen is more beautiful than a female celebrity with exquisite photos. Amazing. ]

    [ You bunch of people who have been blinded by beauty, didn¡¯t you realize that Tang Yin weed her? ]

    Only then did everyone notice the beautiful figure standing beside the car, and confusion instantly arose*. Could it be that Tang Yin had be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager?*

    Just as everyone¡¯s interest in Xia Wanyuan increased, a piece of news suddenly broke.

    There were actors involved in drugs in the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± and the police were doing their best to investigate.

 Chapter 242 - Anonymous Report

    <h4>Chapter 242: Anonymous Report</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    The Yang¡¯an District Police Station was having a headache.?<i>Why have we been at odds with the entertainment industry for the past two days?</i>?They had just sent Xia Wanyuan away for less than two days, and now an anonymous report hade saying that the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± was involved in drugs.

    China was a country that did not tolerate drugs at all. It was once because of this that the country had been bullied for more than a hundred years. This was a humiliation carved in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    For a ce like the entertainment industry where public exposure was high, once one was involved in drugs, it was equivalent to beingpletely doomed.

    After receiving the report, the police quickly rushed to Hong¡¯an Hotel. They had indeed detected the relevant substances from the hotel¡¯s trash bin.

    The boss was immediately frightened. He hurriedly informed the police about the person who had eaten and the location. It was indeed the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±..

    Hence, the police called the director of the production team and asked everyone to make a trip to the Yangan District Police Station that night.

    The actors who had been having farewell meals the previous night and thought that it would be difficult for them to see each other again in the future had met again after sleeping, although no one had expected it to be in this form.

    Outside the police station, the paparazzi, who were secretly hiding in the fruit stall and blowing up kebabs, were paying close attention to themotion at the entrance of the police station.

    When the production team appeared, the invisible cameras that the paparazzi had hidden in their bags were rolling.

    ¡°Are you buying or not? You¡¯ve been looking at a watermelon for ten minutes.¡± The fruit shop owner could not stand it anymore. Although the customer was god, god could not stand in the shop and be the door god. It was the kind that did not pay.

    ¡°Buy, buy, buy. I¡¯ll choose again. This is for you.¡± The boss felt better after receiving a hundred-dor bill.

    <i>Sure, take your time.</i>

    After the reporters finished taking the photos, a portion of the photos had been sent back to thepany.

    The topic ¡°The Collective Poison Examination¡± of the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    [ Isn¡¯t there a little too much drama today¡­ Burp, I¡¯m stuffed. ]

    [ Getting involved in drugs¡­ I¡¯ve always heard that the entertainment industry is not clean. Looking at it this way, it¡¯s indeed like this. ]

    [ There are also many types of drugs, right? Many of them are very strictly controlled in our country. They¡¯re basically legal abroad. ]

    [ If it¡¯s legal abroad, does our country have to make it legal too? So many narcotics policemen sacrificed themselves in exchange for our peaceful lives. If it¡¯s even legal to be involved in drugs, how can we face the souls of those martyrs in heaven? ]

    [ No matter who it is, as long as he has anything to do with drugs, get out of the entertainment industry and ban himpletely. ]

    The procedure for the drug test was notplicated, but it would take about half a day for the results to be out.

    Soon, the production team left the police station one by one.

    The paparazzi were about to leave after finding the photos when they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

    ¡®Someone is missing!!! Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan?!!¡¯

    As the first priority for paparazzi, they had to find news with gimmicks. They had to put the authenticity aside first.

    The paparazzi waited outside for half an hour and realized that Xia Wanyuan still had note out, so they left the fruit shop with threerge watermelons.

    Not long after, there were all sorts of paparazzi reports on the poison inspection of the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    [ Emmmm, could it be Xia Wanyuan?? Has she been detained? ]

    [ I just praised her for her beauty. Eh, you really can¡¯t judge a book by its cover. ]

    [ It must be her. Otherwise, why would they only detain her and let everyone else go? She really pretended to be noble and elegant. Behind her, she¡¯s actually a junkie. I threw up. ]

    [ Can you guys have somemon sense? How can the results of the drug test be out so quickly? I choose to wait and see. ]

    The current police station.

    Director Li was chatting enthusiastically with Xia Wanyuan. Director Li was sorry for the unfair treatment Xia Wanyuan had received at the police stationst time and told her about the oue of Ruan Dan¡¯s treatment. After talking about the previous incident, Director Li hurriedly spoke about the poison examination.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I have some eyesight. You don¡¯t look like you¡¯re involved in drugs. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely give the public an answer as soon as possible and clear your names.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    In the end, Director Li personally sent Xia Wanyuan out the door and into the car.

    While the news online was still specting, a Weibo ount that had just opened imed to be a staff member of the production team released a piece of news.

    @ Duck Tooth Ya Ya: ¡°Back then, when I was an extra on the production team of ¡®The Long Bad¡¯, I identally entered the actor¡¯s dressing room and found something suspicious in an actor¡¯s trash bin. At that time, I didn¡¯t dare to say anything and only took a photo to save. I didn¡¯t expect this matter to finally leak out.¡±

    The apanying picture was a photo taken from a nted angle. In the picture, one could see some white and blue powder on the ck paper.

    [ What is this¡­ Forgive me for not being educated enough. Who can teach me? ]

    [ This is a new type of hallucinogen. It seems to have just been released from the market, but because of its strong hallucinogenicity and high addiction, the country strongly prohibits it. ]

    [ It¡¯s just a trash bin. I can¡¯t tell whose it belongs to. ]

    [ That rabbitmp was clearly on the table beside her. Who else in the entire drama except the Heavenly Spirit Princess has carried a rabbitmp before? ]

    [ That¡¯s right!!!!! Isn¡¯t this themp Xia Wanyuan was holding when she first appeared!! I didn¡¯t expect it to really be her. I¡¯m a little disappointed. I was just about to be her fan. ]

    With the identity of the production team and the photos as evidence, this person¡¯s Weibo ount was quickly reposted.

    The topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan was caught for being involved in drugs¡± was trending.

    [ The past few days have really been all sorts of trending searches for Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m going to puke from eating melons. ]

    [ Boycott inferior celebrities. What¡¯s the use of being good-looking? ]

    [ I originally thought that Ruan Yingyu was a bitch, but now I think that she did a pretty good job. To deal with people like Xia Wanyuan, we have to use bitchy tricks. ]

    [ The production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± is really toxic. There were only two actresses in the first ce, and the two actresses caused trouble every day. ]

    Ruan Yingyu smiled smugly at thements online.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan, let¡¯s see how you escape this time.?</i>

    ¡°Ruan Yingyu, hurry up. The brand event is about to start. The audience is waiting,¡± her manager urged impatiently from outside.

    ¡°Coming,ing.¡± Ruan Yingyu switched off her phone, tidied her clothes, and walked out.

    When it came to the topic of poison, the fans did not even dare to deny it. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans could only dryly say, ¡°Wait for the poison test results.¡±

    Then, they werebeled as brainless fans.

    The criticism directed at Xia Wanyuan increased, and the fans endured five hours like a year.

    Finally, at night, the Yang An District Public Security Bureau notified them.

    The report clearly said, ¡°A certain female celebrity surnamed Ruan has a positive drug test.¡±

    Everyone exploded.

    <i>Someone was really involved in drugs!!?</i>

    <i>Surname Ruan?? Ruan Yingyu?!</i>

 Chapter 243 - Not Allowed to Film Daily Life

    <h4>Chapter 243: Not Allowed to Film Daily Life</h4>

    At the same time, Ruan Yingyu, who was participating in the promotion of a brand in arge shopping mall, was taking a photo with the brand on stage.

    ¡°Okay, here, cheese,¡± the photographer ordered, and everyone grinned.

    Only Ruan Yingyu looked like something was wrong.

    ¡°Miss Ruan, are you alright?¡± The brand manager closest to Ruan Yingyu asked in concern.

    Ruan Yingyu wanted to calm down, but she felt as if there were tens of thousands of insects drilling into her body, making it impossible for her to breathe.

    She panted heavily, still feeling suffocated.

    Her hands were not under her control, and the muscles under her skin twitched non-stop. In just a few seconds, Ruan Yingyu had copsed to the ground, scaring the people present into calling for an ambnce.

    The video of Ruan Yingyu¡¯s ident was also taken and posted online.

    [ Is her drug addiction rpsing? ]

    [ Oh my god, it¡¯s so scary. I feel like her flesh is moving. Ahhh, so disgusting. ]

    [ So it turns out that the person involved in the drug was Ruan Yingyu? Then wouldn¡¯t it be too disgusting for her to throw the paper into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trash bin after smoking it? ]

    There were also fans who wanted to speak up for Ruan Yingyu, but as soon as they appeared, they were scolded back.

    Xia Wanyuan had also received a call from Tang Yin and learned of this matter.

    In fact, she had already felt that something was wrong when the waiter handed her the wine, so she secretly changed the wine ss when the waiter was too shy to look up.

    She had thought that it was some kind of drug, but Ruan Yingyu¡¯s thoughts were even more vicious than she had imagined.

    However, she had tasted the consequences herself.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The orange tform had been filled with both fear and surprise recently.

    A mysterious big shot suddenly proposed to sponsor the tform, and the amount was so high that it could almost buy the entire tform. The higher-ups of the tform were so frightened that they collectively mobilized to study thisrge sponsorship.

    What frightened the tform was that the big shot¡¯s request was actually very simple but very strange.

    The big shot did not want to watch the celebrity¡¯s daily routine of ¡°I¡¯m a Big Star¡± because he did not like it.

    <i>Haha, how willful.</i>

    Although the tform leaders felt that it was strange, they still gathered together and discussed seriously. Since they had already broadcasted their daily life once, there was no need to broadcast it every episode.

    Most importantly, the money given by the big boss was too attractive. It was more than enough to make ten ¡°I am a Big Star¡± films. The leaders immediately agreed.

    <i>Change! Whatever the big shot says!</i>

    ¡°Master Jun, I¡¯ve alreadymunicated with them. They¡¯ve agreed to cancel the daily live-stream segment.¡±

    ¡°Mm, Jun Yin is too young. He can¡¯t leave Xia Wanyuan for the time being.¡± Jun Shiling was finally satisfied after hearing Lin Jing¡¯s report.

    Xia Wanyuan had to move out for two days after filming a daily routine. How could she do that?

    Lin Jing had a look of ¡®You¡¯re right¡¯. He secretlyughed in his heart.

    <i>Is it you or Little Master who can¡¯t leave Madam?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Star Creation Entertainment had been on bad terms with Xia Wanyuan recently.

    Not only did Xia Wanyuan be more and more disobedient, but even Chen Yun, who was usually very obedient, became very difficult to find.

    Furthermore, they had also seen the news of Tang Yin attending the Starlight Ceremony with Xia Wanyuan.

    Artists belonged to thepany to begin with. By hiring a manager herself like this, and at Tang Yin¡¯s level at that, Xia Wanyuan actually did not tell thepany. The higher-ups of thepany were very dissatisfied with her.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯m warning you. Don¡¯t take yourself too seriously. Without thepany supporting you, you¡¯re nothing.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 244: The Princess Wants to Swim</h4>

    ¡°So?¡± Xia Wanyuan was also baffled by CEO Li¡¯s call. This person had put on airs the moment he arrived, but she could not be bothered with him after hearing one sentence.

    He had been talking to Xia Wanyuan alone for a long time, but he realized that she could not be bothered with him, so he flew into a rage out of humiliation.

    ¡°Let me tell you! Your contract is still with thepany. Thepany doesn¡¯t allow celebrities to find their own managers in private.¡±

    ¡°Oh, then I¡¯ll fire Tang Yin and introduce her to thepany to be a manager. How about that?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice came from the phone. CEO Li was delighted. It seemed that Xia Wanyuan was still afraid of the restrictions of the contract.

    ¡°That suits the rules. How about this? Introduce Tang Yin to thepany. Didn¡¯t Chen Yun say he wanted to release an album for youst time? Your ability and standards aren¡¯t high enough now, so thepany will release a single for you for the time being. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly. Her light voice tickled CEO Li¡¯s heart.

    Back then, he had also had designs on Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family had a few dors and could not be deceived. This was also the reason why Xia Wanyuan was not liked by the higher-ups of Star Creation Entertainment.

    She was too difficult to control.

    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll be waiting for you! Bring Tang Yin to thepany to look for me tomorrow at nine o¡¯clock.¡±

    Just as CEO Li finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, and a cold glint shed across her eyes.

    <i>Look for you? Slowly wait.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Beside the prosperous Jiang Jing vi in Shanghai, a tall and handsome man was leaning on the piano by the window with his eyes closed.

    ¡°Xingchuan, help me take a look. How¡¯s my dress? Does it look good?¡±

    A woman in a long dress walked down from upstairs. Although there were signs of age between her eyes, because she had taken good care of herself, she still looked very graceful.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The man by the piano looked up and nodded, then lowered his head again.

    Displeasure shed across Shi Tian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ever since you saw the newsst night, you¡¯ve been acting like you¡¯re dying. Why? Do you regret it? Do you want to find your old lover? That b*tch, didn¡¯t she say that she would quit the industry? Ha, it¡¯s only been six years.¡±

    ¡°We were the ones who let her down. Why must you do this?¡± Liu Xingchuan seemed to be extremely tired. When he heard the word b*tch from Shi Tian¡¯s mouth, he frowned tightly.

    ¡°Now you know you¡¯re sorry? Back then, when you slept with me¡­¡± Shi Tian wanted to repeat what she had said a few thousand times. Liu Xingchuan stood up and left the vi.

    Looking at Liu Xingchuan¡¯s back as he left, the nails in Shi Tian¡¯s hands were about to break.

    <i>Want to make aeback? No way. Since I could make you quit the industry back then, I can make you disappearpletely now.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was another weekend. The old master missed his great-grandson dearly, so Xiao Bao was sent to the quad as soon as school ended.

    Xia Yu stayed in the manor for a few days and left after feeling that his blood had mostly clotted.

    Even with Jun Shiling¡¯s permission, he still felt that he was going to be driven crazy.

    He didn¡¯t know where Jun Shiling had found these godly people. They said that they were two teachers, but they were like artificial intelligence and knew everything. They could even tutor people in school, so they were no different from eight people.

    Xia Yu had to attend sses every day and even eating was mundane to him, so he found an excuse to escape from the manor.

    Hence, when Xia Wanyuan returned home that day, she felt that the house was extremely quiet. She was not used to theck of noise from Xia Yu and Xiao Bao.

    The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Beijing was located in the north, and it was a city with a short spring and autumn season. It was especially hot today. Xia Wanyuan came in from outside with a thinyer of sweat on her body.

    Hearing from Nanny Li that there was a specialized swimming pool in the manor, Xia Wanyuan wanted to go and take a look.

 Chapter 245 - Teaching Swimming

    <h4>Chapter 245: Teaching Swimming</h4>

    The interior of the manor was equipped with all kinds of venues. The swimming pool was not far from the main building. It was apletely ss-like venue with arge garden outside.

    Jun Shiling had always used the swimming pool alone, so the people in charge of guarding it were all men.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan wanted to go for a swim, Uncle Wang hurriedly got someone to rece all the employees. He got Nanny Li and the other maids to guard the pool before leaving with the others.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to swim and had never been in water before.

    The Xia Dynasty was in a ce where there was little water. Furthermore, in her previous life, swimming was not considered a sport. This was only a skill of the fishermen.

    Xia Wanyuan had nothing to do at home, so she watched television. When she saw those swimmingpetitions, she realized that in the modern world, swimming could actually be a world-ss sports with all sorts of tricks.

    ¡°Madam, I¡¯ll go get your clothes.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Since she was here, Xia Wanyuan definitely wanted to give it a try. Because there was a lot of water in the pool area, the air was sticky and hot. Xia Wanyuan wanted to bury herself in the water as soon as possible.

    Nanny Li did not know the category of swimwear, so she got her maidservant to choose from the clothes rack.

    When the little maidservant brought the clothes back, Nanny Li looked at the thin fabric and felt a little embarrassed. ¡°Girl, why did you take these messy bathing suits?¡±

    <i>In my era, swimming was always done with a singlet and pants. What was wrong with young people nowadays? Why did they like such clothes?</i>

    ¡°The clothes Uncle Wang sent over are all like this.¡± The little maid looked at Nanny Li innocently. ¡°Everyone likes this type nowadays. Nanny Li, don¡¯t worry. Perhaps Madam and Young Master like this type.¡±

    The servant did not mean it, but Nanny Li interpreted another intention. When she heard the servant mention Jun Shiling, her old face looked a little unnatural. ¡°What are you talking about? Alright, send it over quickly.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The maid brought the clothes to the changing room.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little confused when she saw the clothes. ¡°Is this a swimsuit?¡±

    ¡°Madam, all swimwear nowadays are like this. There¡¯s a lot of resistance in the water, so you have to wear tight clothes to swim faster.¡± The maid persuaded Xia Wanyuan ording to what the swimwear boss had said.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved her hand and got the maid to leave.

    After searching for a long time in the pile of clothes, Xia Wanyuan finally found a swimsuit with more cloth.

    Although it was a little embarrassing, there should be no problem since she was alone in the pool.

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes. It was her first time wearing such a style of clothes. Xia Wanyuan felt a little unnatural and touched her arm. She walked to the big mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

    Those two pieces of clothing seemed extremely thin in her hands. In fact, it was still fine after she wore them. They were not as revealing as Xia Wanyuan had imagined. The bright yellow short top barely passed her waist, revealing a jade-white waist.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was thin, she was just right thin. She was fat where she should be. The arrogant curve of her chest was wrapped in an upper pocket. It had no sleeves, and the long ribbon at the back and the two in front were tied into a bow at the back of her neck, revealing her sexy corbone.

    The lower part of her body was a dress that was only half past her thigh. However, because there was pants inside, it would not be exposed. Xia Wanyuan could barely ept this attire.

    Walking to the pool, Xia Wanyuan stretched out her leg and tested the temperature in the water. It was a little cold, but it eased the humidity in the room.

    As she slowly walked down the steps, Xia Wanyuan sank into the water. Layers of water surged towards her, gentle and cool.

    Leaning on the floating board, Xia Wanyuan floated in the water as if she was lying in a soft cloud. Xia Wanyuan took a deep breathfortably.

    <i>No wonder so many people liked to swim. This feeling was not bad.</i>

    When Jun Shiling came back from work, he was surprised to find that there was no one in the manor.

    ¡°Madam isn¡¯t back?¡± Jun Shiling took off his suit and loosened his tie.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam is learning to swim,¡± Uncle Wang replied.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling originally wanted to look for her, but after hesitating for a while, he sat back down. ¡°Then wait for her to finish her swim before serving the food.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Sigh, speaking of which, Young Master, our manor has to recruit more people.¡± Uncle Wang suddenly looked a little troubled.

    ¡°Continue.¡± Jun Shiling was a smart person. Seeing Uncle Wang like this, he knew that there was something behind his words.

    ¡°In the past, ces like the swimming pool were all used by you alone, so the teachers, coaches, and supervisors you hired are all men. Now that there¡¯s madam, we can¡¯t¡­¡±

    Before Uncle Wang could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already stood up and walked towards the swimming pool.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s hurried footsteps, a smile shed across Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes.

    <i>Sometimes, Young Master needed a way out.</i>

    ]Jun Shiling entered and saw Xia Wanyuan soaking in the water. Although he could not see her clearly due to the water, her fair skin still made his expression look a little unnatural.

    He nced at the people in the hall. Nanny Li and a little maid were waiting by the side. Other than them, there was no one else around, so Jun Shiling prepared to leave.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was floating on the water, also saw Jun Shiling.

    The bathing suit itself was not as revealing as she had imagined. Thinking about it, it was not much different from the short skirt she usually wore. In addition, she had already gotten used to it after soaking in the water for a while. Xia Wanyuan did not feel anything unnatural.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out to the door. Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling changed his shoes and slowly walked towards the pool.

    As he got closer, Xia Wanyuan increasingly looked as moving as a lotus in the water. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes slowly darkened.

    <i>Should I say that she trusted him too much or that she did not know anything about men?</i>

    Jun Shiling sighed in his heart when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wless eyes.

    ¡°Teach me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan floated in the water for a while before realizing that swimming was not a simple task. As long as she threw off the float board, her entire body would sink.

    Everyone else in the stadium had been dismissed, and Nanny Li could not swim at all. She could only ssh in the water herself.

    Just as she was about to go ashore, she saw Jun Shiling walk over.

    She had a subconscious trust in Jun Shiling, and she felt that Jun Shiling seemed to know everything, so she wanted him to teach her.

    ¡°I can teach you, but you have to promise me one condition.¡± Jun Shiling sat on a chair by the pool and looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, not daring to look down.

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to swim outside.¡± After speaking, Jun Shiling felt that his tone was a little harsh, so he added, ¡°The water outside is not clean. Too many people have used it before, so you will get sick.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

 Chapter 246 - Conflict with the Company

    <h4>Chapter 246: Conflict with the Company</h4>

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, Jun Shiling knew everything.

    Xia Wanyuan, who originally did not know any methods, gradually grasped the key points under Jun Shiling¡¯s verbal guidance.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been a fast learner. When she was fifty meters away from the first one, she still had to rely on the hoverboard. When she was at her second fifty meters, she could already throw the board away and swim properly.

    Jun Shiling sat beside the pool and taught Xia Wanyuan the skills one by one. Nanny Li and the maids had long left the venue.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions were extremely standard, so she looked extremely beautiful. She was like a butterfly fluttering in the waves.

    Although Xia Wanyuan wore a seemingly normal outfit, it actually had a restrained beauty when she wore it.

    Her slender legs parted the waves in the water and closed again. They were as straight as chopsticks.

    After soaking in the water, the bathing suit became even more fitting, perfectly outlining Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure. Jun Shiling felt that the room was stuffy and reached out to unbutton his shirt.

    Half an hourter, Xia Wanyuan was already very skilled. She swam happily in the water. Jun Shiling felt extremely stuffy and wanted to go out for a breather.

    The water in the pool was a little cold. ording to the normal swimming steps, one needed to warm up before swimming. Otherwise, if they soaked in the cold water for too long, their legs would cramp.

    Uncle Wang had withdrawn the professional teacher, so Xia Wanyuan naturally did not know to warm up. When Jun Shiling arrived, Xia Wanyuan had already entered the water, so he naturally did not let her get up again.

    Hence, when Xia Wanyuan swam back and forth in the water, her right leg suddenly spasmed. Xia Wanyuan, who was lying in the water, suddenly flipped over.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to unbutton his shirt. When he looked up again, he saw Xia Wanyuan sinking into the water.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling hurriedly got up and walked to the pool to check, only to see Xia Wanyuan struggling in the water.

    With a ssh, Jun Shiling jumped into the water.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that her right leg was cold and numb, as if she did not feel anything. Some water from the pool was poured into her nose. Just as she was about to sink into the water, she saw Jun Shiling swimming towards her.

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously handed her hand over. Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her into his arms, then brought her out of the water.

    Finally breathing air, Xia Wanyuan supported herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and panted heavily.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been soaking for too long. Your leg is cramping. Don¡¯t swim today,¡± Jun Shiling said as he carried Xia Wanyuan towards the shore.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a swimsuit, was in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Everything that Jun Shiling touched was shockingly snow-white.

    Standing in the pool, Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan ashore, but he did not go up. Instead, he stood in the water and massaged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calves.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was drenched in water, was as fresh and moving as a lotus flower that had juste out of the water.

    However, the figure outlined by the wet clothes was extremely provocative. Water droplets dripped down from her body, all the way to her chest, and disappeared. Just one look at her made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surge.

    Jun Shiling¡¯srge hand was warm as he pressed down on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calf. His gaze was not on Xia Wanyuan, but he lowered his head, thinking about something.

    After a while¡­

    ¡°Alright, go and change first.¡± Jun Shiling stopped pinching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calf and turned to swim away.

    For the umpteenth time that day, Jun Shiling sighed in his heart.

    <i>This woman was really troublesome and torturous.</i>

    He vented all his excess energy on exercising until his heart calmed down. Only then did Jun Shiling get up. Uncle Wang had already sent someone to deliver the clothes.

    When Jun Shiling returned to the main building, Xia Wanyuan was drying her wet hair.

    Jun Shiling walked over and took the hairdryer from the servant, gently blowing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    Because Jun Shiling often helped her like this, Xia Wanyuan was already used to it. When Jun Shiling stood behind her, she found a suitable position herself and waited for Jun Shiling to blow dry her hair.

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, and her hair gradually became smooth in his hands.

    ¡°Teach me another swimming posture tomorrow?¡± Xia Wanyuan thought of the swimmingpetitions she had watched. There seemed to be a variety of swimmingpetitions.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, which was brushing against his hair, paused. He seemed to have thought of something, and his earlobe turned red. His grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair tightened.

    After not receiving an answer for a long time, Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask, ¡°Can¡¯t you?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was a little low and hoarse.

    Without Xiao Bao at home, Xia Wanyuan still remembered the awkwardness of waking up that morning and hugging Jun Shiling. Hence, Jun Shiling could only sleep in the secondary bedroom that night.

    The lights in the secondary bedroom were switched on for the entire night, while Xia Wanyuan slept quite well in the master bedroom.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°It¡¯s already ten o¡¯clock. Hasn¡¯t she arrived yet?¡±

    In Star Creation Entertainment, Li Yin picked up his watch again and frowned.

    ¡°Call Xia Wanyuan!¡± Li Yin shouted angrily at his assistant.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already called her many times, CEO Li, but I can¡¯t get through to Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Chen Yun?¡± Li Yin felt humiliated from being yed.

    ¡°It¡¯s the same for Chen Yun¡¯s phone. I can¡¯t get through.¡±

    As a manager, it was impossible for the phone to be disconnected for a long time unless he deliberately did not want to answer the phone.

    ¡°Get someone to stop all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s business activities!¡± Li Yin mmed the table fiercely, and the flesh on his body trembled. ¡°This is too much.¡±

    After hearing that the Xia family¡¯spany had been restarted, the higher-ups of Star Creation Entertainment had sent people to investigate and see if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s background was still around.

    In the end, he realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s father was no longer thepany¡¯s chairman. The person in charge of thepany now was Shen Qian.

    Since she no longer had her former background, Li Yin¡¯s attitude towards Xia Wanyuan was no longer as tolerant as before.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have manymercial activities. The promotion of a potato chip had already beenpleted, and only Ya Zi¡¯s endorsement and the variety show was left.

    When the original owner of the body signed the contract, thepany bullied her for not understanding and signed an extremely unreasonable contract. It was fine when there was nothing wrong, but once there was a conflict with thepany, it was basically based on thepany¡¯s interests.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was preparing for the second episode of ¡°I am a Big Star¡± variety show, received a notification from Star Creation Entertainment and directly withdrew.

    Furthermore, the reason given by thepany was ¡°The artiste thinks that filming variety shows is tiring.¡±

    The production team did not understand, nor did theizens.

    [ Can you still quit halfway?? Don¡¯t you want your professional ethics anymore? ]

    [ Come and go as you please. Although the orange tform isn¡¯t arge tform, you can¡¯t be so casual, right? ]

    [ You¡¯re tired from filming a variety show. Do you really think of yourself as a little princess? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face is indeed good-looking, but her professional quality is really not admirable. ]

    [ Emmmm. ]

 Chapter 247 - Ungrateful Princess?

    <h4>Chapter 247: Ungrateful Princess?</h4>

    The contact with variety programs were easy to dissolve, but not the sponsorship with Ya Zi. Ya Zi directly used the legal department of the Jun Corporation and negotiated with them.

    They could terminate the contract, but Star Creation Entertainment would have to pay thirty million dors first.

    Star Creation Entertainment was not even willing to pay thirty thousand dors for Xia Wanyuan, let alone thirty million dors. They immediately gave up.

    Although the termination of the contract could not be done, Star Creation Entertainment continued to y tricks. Internal staff kept spreading the news that Xia Wanyuan had repaid kindness with ingratitude, and that she became arrogant after getting some results, causing a conflict with thepany.

    Due to the video of the Starlight Ceremony, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity had been high for the past few days. In addition to her subtle rtionship with thepany, even Star Creation Entertainment had made its presence known to everyone.

    After thepany called Xia Wanyuan almost a hundred times, the call finally connected.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, do you still want to work in thepany?! Let me tell you.¡± Li Yin picked up the phone and lost his temper.

    Before Li Yin could finish, Xia Wanyuan continued, ¡°What¡¯s there to stay in a lousypany like Star Creation Entertainment?¡±

    Before Li Yin could react, she hung up the phone.

    In the meeting room, everyone and Li Yin looked at each other. ¡°There¡¯s no need to keep this artist anymore.¡±

    Hence, after the meeting that day, Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s official Weibo ount posted a message.

    @ Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s official Weibo: ¡°We¡¯re very disappointed and heartbroken. When you were at your darkest, thepany never gave up on you. When you walked towards the light, you looked down on thispany.¡±

    There was a short call recording attached below. In it were Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. ¡°What¡¯s there to stay in a lousypany like Star Creation Entertainment?¡±

    [ I¡¯m moving a small stool in the front row to sit. Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight treasure porridge. ]

    [ Is there a conflict? With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone, how much does she look down on Star Creation Entertainment? At least this is apany that she has been in for three years. ]

    [ Tsk, tsk. She¡¯s the queen of the red carpet and the number one viewership. How can she still fancy her old lousypany? It doesn¡¯t match her status as a princess. ]

    [ Can the person in front stop being so sarcastic? The truth isn¡¯t out yet, so how do you know that it must be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fault? Perhaps thepany has let her down. ]

    [ Tsk, when Xia Wanyuan was criticized by the entire Inte, only herpany had sent out a rification statement for her. Now that her reputation is a little better, she¡¯s starting to despise thepany?? She¡¯s an ingrate. ]

    The beauty of the Starlight Ceremony was too stunning. Everyone subconsciously became interested in the name Xia Wanyuan.

    When they clicked on the topic, they had thought that it would be another beautiful photo. Who would have thought that it would be a drama with thepany?

    Some people who had eaten a round of melon seeds originally had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan because of the red carpet photos, but it was destroyed by this move that painted her as an ingrate.

    As a professional entertainmentpany, Star Creation Entertainment had a set of professional public rtions methods and arge number of fake reviewers.

    In order to control the public opinion tightly in their hands, Star Creation Entertainment used the Inte Water Army to push the topic everywhere. Their preconceptions made people feel that Xia Wanyuan was an ingrate.

    While the public opinion on the Inte was one-sided, Qin Wu suddenly posted on Weibo.

    @ Qin Wu: ¡°Xia Wanyuan and I filmed in the same production team. I don¡¯t think she¡¯s an ungrateful person. I¡¯m waiting for the truth.¡±

    Qin Wu¡¯s fans waited for a long time. When the studio did not rify that Qin Wu¡¯s ount had been hacked, they began to cry on Qin Wu¡¯s Weibo.

 Chapter 248 - Xie Rou Publishes the Song

    <h4>Chapter 248: Xie Rou Publishes the Song</h4>

    [ Brother, what¡¯s wrong?? ]

    [ Oh my god, Brother, did your ount get hacked? Don¡¯t be deceived by Xia Wanyuan. We know you¡¯re kind. ]

    [ Haha, do you fans treat people as idiots? He¡¯s already in her twenties or thirties, yet hhe can still be lied to easily? I think this Qin Wu probably has an unclean rtionship with Xia Wanyuan. Otherwise, why would he speak up for her? ]

    [ The person in front, didn¡¯t you brush your teeth this morning? Your mouth is so smelly. So what if he¡¯s speaking for his colleague? Our brother is just a good person. Furthermore, the truth about Xia Wanyuan and thepany hasn¡¯te out yet. Why are you so anxious to jump to conclusions? ]

    [ Brother, I support you. As long as it¡¯s someone you believe in, we believe in them too. ]

    Although that was the case, the Inte was basically criticizing Xia Wanyuan one-sidedly. Qin Wu and Xia Wanyuan had also been CPed because of the drama, so some people in Qin Wu¡¯s fan group had stopped being fans.

    Many people criticized Qin Wu¡¯s previous image for being packaged. After the incident with Xia Wanyuan, they had finally seen through Qin Wu¡¯s twisted morals.

    While people were feeling restless, Director Yang actually reposted Qin Wu¡¯s Weibo and said, ¡°Wanyuan is a very dedicated and serious youngdy. I believe that she is not an ungrateful person.¡±

    Some other people in the production team also reposted Qin Wu¡¯s Weibo to express their support for Xia Wanyuan.

    Not long after, Mr. Zhong Wei, who was certified as the country¡¯s chief economist, also posted on Weibo.

    In the past, Elder Zhong¡¯s Weibo posts were all about universal economic knowledge, but today¡¯s Weibo post was especially abnormal.

    Elder Zhong only said one sentence, ¡°What is right and what is wrong is in your heart. Little friend Xia is an extremely outstanding youngdy. I believe in her.¡±

    Only then did everyone remember that Elder Zhong had specially invited Xia Wanyuan to attend the lecture and had even spoken for her.?<i>Could someone who was on good terms with Elder Zhong be someone with a bad character?</i>

    At this moment, everyone calmed down and stopped shouting. Instead, they waited quietly for a conclusion.

    Just as everyone was paying close attention to Star Creation Entertainment, hoping that it would give a follow-up answer, Star Creation Entertainment suddenly announced that Xie Rou¡¯s new album had been released and that electronic albums were being sold on various music tforms.

    Everyone still had some impression of the short piece of music that was released back then. It was done very stunningly.

    Now that thepany had released an album, everyone put Xia Wanyuan¡¯s matter aside and clicked on the album link.

    Not long after, everyone clicked on it with a look of disbelief.

    [ That¡¯s too nice! ]

    [ Wow, Xie Rou is really amazing. Oh my god, I think she¡¯s the one whoposed the lyrics and melody. ]

    [ It¡¯s really nice, so nice that someone like me, who doesn¡¯t usually buy albums, wants to buy one and keep it at home. ]

    [ I¡¯m gone with this melody. It¡¯s so beautiful!! Three ancient songs, three modern songs. They¡¯re both exciting and gentle. Ahhh, Mommy, I¡¯ve finally found my sleeping song. ]

    [ That¡¯s not right. How could Xie Rou write such a nice song with her standard? ]

    There were also some doubtful voices, but it had to be said that the Inte Water Army of Star Creation Entertainment was still very powerful. They were all positivements that filled the entire Weibo.

    Xie Rou also reposted Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s official Weibo post.

    @ Xie Rou: ¡°Thank you for thepany¡¯s nurturing. I haven¡¯t released a new song in two years. In the past two years, I¡¯ve been locking myself in my room and seeking the deepest peace in my heart. I¡¯ve finally written a few songs that I¡¯m barely satisfied with. I hope that my works will be liked by everyone.¡±

 Chapter 249 - The Princess and Master Jun Swimming Together

    <h4>Chapter 249: The Princess and Master Jun Swimming Together</h4>

    [???? You call this barely satisfactory?! You¡¯re too humble. ]

    [ It¡¯s really nice. I think everyone has been praising Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song recently. Compared to Xie Rou¡¯s new song, the difference is like heaven and earth. ]

    [ It¡¯s nice, it¡¯s nice!! Goddess is amazing! I want to buy a digital album and listen to it on loop! ]

    [ Why do I feel that this music gives people the feeling that it¡¯s simr to the melody and lyrics written by Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ Where did the person in front get so shameless? Xie Rou has already debuted for so many years. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s standards are really not enough in front of Xie Rou. ]

    Over the years, the domestic music market had been in a slump. The legends of the older generation had gradually withdrawn, and among the younger generation, no one could hold the fort. It had been a long time since the domestic album sales market had produced especially good results.

    Once Xie Rou¡¯s album was released, the Inte Water Army that Star Creation Entertainment had spread across all the tforms began to move. In addition, they had spent a lot of money to buy all sorts of promotions.

    The name ¡°The Light of Chinese Music¡± quickly spread. Even people who usually did not listen to songs knew that a very amazing album had appeared in the entertainment industry today.

    Everyone tried to buy it. The beautiful melody instantly moved everyone¡¯s hearts.2

    In just a day, Xie Rou¡¯s new album, called ¡°Gentle Intents¡±, quickly reached the top of various music tforms and broke all sales records.

    After releasing such an explosive album, all the major media outlets released the news one after another. Invisibly, it was another wave of publicity. Under the name of ¡°The Light of Chinese Music¡±, Xie Rou became the most popr new singer in the country in a day.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad. It¡¯s only one day of sales, but we¡¯ve already got back all our capital. From now on, it¡¯s time to lie down and collect money. Baby, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Li Yin looked at the sales figures in theputer and touched Xie Rou¡¯s waist happily.

    ¡°CEO Li, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s willing to support me. Without you, how could I have such good results?¡± Xie Rou smiled shyly and leaned on Li Yin gently. Li Yin was instantly aroused. He switched off theputer and buried his head in front of Xie Rou.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Jun Shiling, let¡¯s swim.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who had swum another round, crawled out of the water. The water droplets slid down her face, reflecting an extremely moving face without makeup.

    Compared to the first day, Xia Wanyuan was much more proficient today. Furthermore, because she had done enough warm-ups before entering the water, Xia Wanyuan felt that her body could move more freely.

    After swimming for a while, she felt that she had nothing to refer to, so she wanted to pull Jun Shiling along.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll apany you if you want to swim. I¡¯ll go and change,¡± Jun Shiling said and went to the changing room while Xia Wanyuan plunged into the water again.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished swimming, she walked to the stage and picked up a bottle of water. Just as she was about to open it, she saw Jun Shiling walk out of the changing room.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    Jun Shiling was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks and arge white towel, but it still could not hide his good figure.

    Jun Shiling was an extremely disciplined person. He worked out all year round, so his body lines were extremely perfect. He had just the right muscles, and one could vaguely see many pieces of abs.

    As he walked, he had a strong sense of strength and a strong hormonal aura.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red. She suddenly regretted asking Jun Shiling to go into the water with her.

    Jun Shiling slowly walked to Xia Wanyuan and squatted down, his eyes smiling. ¡°Why is your face so red? Is it hot in the house?¡±

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s a little hot in the water.¡± Jun Shiling was so close that Xia Wanyuan could feel the heat from his body and that extremely strong and aggressive aura. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze drifted away, not daring to meet Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Oh, the water is quite hot.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the redness on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and the corners of his lips curled up.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little hot. She picked up the bottle and twisted it, but found that she could not open it at all.

    ¡°Let me do it.¡± A strong hand took the water bottle and gently twisted it open. Xia Wanyuan was a little stunned when she saw the slightly bulging muscles on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm when he twisted the cap.

    It was not as if she had never seen a man¡¯s body before. Every time after a big battle, there would always be piles of corpses on the battlefield. Those who survived had to bury the dead soldiers. At that time, she was filled with grief. When she saw herpatriots who had been changed into clean clothes and ced in coffins, she did not feel embarrassed.

    At that moment, she suddenly realized that there was a huge difference between men and women.

    ¡°Looks good?¡± Jun Shiling swirled the water bottle in front of Xia Wanyuan, snapping her out of her daze.

    Xia Wanyuan took the water bottle and, as expected, saw the obvious teasing in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. She gulped down a mouthful of water and put down the bottle.

    ¡°No.¡±

    Then, she plunged into the water again. However, when she turned around, the redness on her earlobe revealed everything. The smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes widened. He threw away the towel and jumped into the water, sshing water.

    ¡°Fiveps. Let¡¯spete.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already stood at the starting point, and her expression had returned to normal.

    ¡°Alright, we have to add a bet to thepetition.¡± Jun Shiling swam to Xia Wanyuan and stood beside her. ¡°Then if you win, I¡¯ll lose based on your condition. If I win, you¡¯ll lose based on mine. How about that?¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    The two of them prepared themselves at the starting point. Jun Shiling waved his hand, and the two of them flew out like arrows that had left the bow.

    Jun Shiling was a good swimmer to begin with and was extremely fast. What surprised him was that Xia Wanyuan had improved at a godly speed than he had imagined.

    Yesterday, she did not even know basic movements. Now, Xia Wanyuan was on par with him.

    One round after another, Jun Shiling maintained his rhythm. Xia Wanyuan had always been by his side and had never fallen behind.

    Soon, it was thestp. Both of them increased their speed at thest 50 meters.

    Di!

    The announcement for the endpoint sounded. The two of them had reached the endpoint at the same time.

    ¡°It¡¯s a draw?¡± Xia Wanyuan crawled out of the water and took a deep breath.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m taller than you, but we arrived at the end at the same time. You won.¡±

    ¡°Are you giving in to me?¡± Xia Wanyuanughed.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m just admitting defeat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan removed her goggles, and her face was covered in water droplets. Jun Shiling took a towel from the side and walked to Xia Wanyuan, helping her wipe carefully.

    Xia Wanyuan raised her head, making her eyebrows look even darker and her lips rosy. Jun Shiling suddenly stopped wiping.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had her eyes closed, sensed Jun Shiling stop. She opened her eyes and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes.

 Chapter 250 - Master Jun Is Scheming

    <h4>Chapter 250: Master Jun Is Scheming</h4>

    At that moment, Jun Shiling was very close to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan raised her head slightly and could see the warmth in his eyes. Xia Wanyuan immediately recalled that time in the apartment, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes had been equally hot.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed that something was wrong and wanted to take a step back, but Jun Shiling held her shoulders.

    ¡°Don¡¯t always flirt with me.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was wiping Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face began to move again. His actions were extremely slow as he wiped from her forehead to her ear, slowly drying the water on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°What flirt? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly.?<i>When did I flirt with him?</i>

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it flirtatious for a woman to close her eyes in front of a man?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with an extremely deep gaze. Xia Wanyuan could feel the heat from his hand passing through the towel.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was shocked and wanted to exin, but her eyes were covered by the towel in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°You seeded.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to ask what had seeded when the cold smell of pine wafted towards her.

    Xia Wanyuan could have dodged it, but at that moment, she was a little flustered. Under Jun Shiling¡¯s cold and pine fragrance, she had thought of many things, but she had never thought of pushing him away.

    Jun Shiling also noticed this, and the corners of his lips curled up. The warmth in his eyes grew as he gently covered the vermillion in front of him.

    Unlike the previous time when he was domineering in the apartment, Jun Shiling was overly gentle this time.

    Every tiny movement exuded extreme patience and tolerance.

    The most intruding yet gentle movement stunned Xia Wanyuan for a moment. Caught off guard, Jun Shiling knocked open her private territory.

    Finally, he had entered the territory he had coveted for a long time. Jun Shiling skillfully swept through every ce that could stir Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    In the that Jun Shiling had woven with extreme patience, Xia Wanyuan was pulled into this gentle dream.

    Her eyes were covered by the towel, and she could not see anything around her. She could only feel that Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was all around her, and it was all his passionate plunder.

    After a long time, Jun Shiling finally reluctantly withdrew from this territory. As if he felt that it was not enough, he did not leave Xia Wanyuanpletely. Instead, he moved from the corners of her lips to her cheeks, to her temples, and then gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright red ear.

    Xia Wanyuan shuddered and seemed to have woken up from Jun Shiling¡¯s gentleness. She dodged Jun Shiling¡¯s movement to continue.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s emotions wereplicated. It was as if there were tens of thousands of threads twining together. She did not know where the head and tail were.

    Jun Shiling did not stop her this time. His eyes were already dark.

    Even if he had strong self-control, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he continued.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and walked up the steps. However, after being snatched by Jun Shiling for so long, her footsteps were a little weak. In addition, she was flustered and her thoughts wereplicated. She did not notice that she had stepped on empty air on the steps.

    Then, she fell straight into the pool. Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her into his arms, preventing the water from entering her ears.

    Xia Wanyuan stood still with Jun Shiling¡¯s help when she heard Jun Shiling say with a smile, ¡°You still said you didn¡¯t flirt with me? Again?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to retort, but she was still in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling reproachfully. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡­¡±

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s cold in the water. Let¡¯s go up.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and deliberately took half a step back.

 Chapter 251 - An Estrangement

    <h4>Chapter 251: An Estrangement</h4>

    This time, Xia Wanyuan held onto the handrail tightly.

    Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan carefully from behind as she was afraid that she would fall again, and the corners of his lips curled up.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Shiling swam alone in the hall for half an hour before leaving.

    Xia Wanyuan took a shower and changed her clothes. She sat on the sofa and switched on the television.

    Once the screen was turned on, the handsome male lead was kissing the female lead¡¯s face.

    ¡­¡­..

    Xia Wanyuan switched channels.?<i>Mm, the male and female lead were getting married.</i>?When she switched channels, the male and female lead were rolling on the sofa.

    The temperature on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face suddenly rose, and she abruptly switched off the television.?<i>What is wrong with television dramas nowadays? Can they put something else aside from love?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of what Jun Shiling had just said. She took out her phone and searched for it. ¡°Girl close her eyes.¡± Then, a row of relevant answers appeared.

    ¡°When a girl closes her eyes, she¡¯s waiting for someone to kiss her.¡±

    ¡°When a girl closes her eyes, she¡¯s hinting to you.¡±

    ¡°When a girl closes her eyes, it means she wants to flirt with you.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­..

    Xia Wanyuan held her forehead helplessly. Do modern people have such a custom????

    <i>Is closing your eyes considered flirting?</i>

    <i>Did Jun Shiling really think that I wanted to seduce him just now? Was that why he kissed me?</i>

    As she was feeling conflicted, Jun Shiling had already walked towards her. He very naturally took the hairdryer by the side and stood behind Xia Wanyuan to blow dry her hair.

    Xia Wanyuan did not realize that she had slowly gotten used to not blow dry her hair after showering. In any case, Jun Shiling would blow dry her hair for her.

    In the living room, only the sound of wind blowing could be heard. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling didn¡¯t speak.

    After her hair was dried, Jun Shiling was about to go upstairs to work when Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped him.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks and sat opposite Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°That wasn¡¯t what I meant just now.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± There was a smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to seduce you. I read online that men might be more impulsive.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very tolerant of many things in the modern world, but she was still a little shy when it came to matters of passion between men and women. As she spoke, her face began to blush. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to misunderstand. Don¡¯t do this again in the future.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was deep, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling only answered briefly, Xia Wanyuan was afraid that Jun Shiling wouldn¡¯t believe her, so she added,

    ¡°If you need someone, you can find someone you like. Anyway, there¡¯s still a month left and our rtionship will be over. I won¡¯t¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say that she wouldn¡¯t stop him or mind if he went to look for other women casually. However, deep down, when she thought of the scene of Jun Shiling hugging other women, she felt a little ufortable, but she didn¡¯t care about that.

    ¡°Am I thatcking in women?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, which were still smiling but darkened when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart sank. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯sck of resistance represented a good signal, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words had poured cold water on him.

    She clearly did not resist his approach. He thought that she had some feelings for him, but she could actually say so calmly that she did not mind him finding someone else.

    ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not describe what she was feeling. She felt a little confused.

    She had always been calm andposed. This flustered and somewhat bitter emotion made her feel unfamiliar. After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she did not know what else to say.

 Chapter 252 - Awkward

    <h4>Chapter 252: Awkward</h4>

    The room fell silent.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going upstairs to work. Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± Jun Shiling had finally returned to his gentle appearance. There was no change in his eyes, but Xia Wanyuan did not feel very happy. Instead, she felt a strange sense of loss.

    For a moment just now, Jun Shiling wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan directly if she could not divorce him, if she could stay by his side, if she could like him a little.

    However, Jun Shiling restrained himself in the end.

    He had never been afraid of doing a business worth tens of billions. This was because he could calcte the profits of the business through precise calctions and powerful logical ability. Even if there was a 50% risk, he could rely on his own ability to contain this risk.

    However, facing Xia Wanyuan, he did not even dare to take a 0.01% risk. He was afraid that once he spoke, there would be no turning back.

    Xia Wanyuan watched television downstairs with mixed emotions. It was already time to sleep, but Xia Wanyuan had not gone upstairs.

    Xiao Bao was still in the courtyard and had not returned. There were only two people left in the main building. What had always seemed normal in the past made Xia Wanyuan inexplicably panic today.

    ¡°Madam, it¡¯s time to go up and sleep.¡± Nanny Li walked over.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Jun Shiling?¡±

    ¡°Young Master is already sleeping in the secondary bedroom.¡± Nanny Li looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.?<i>Could it be that the two of them had a fight?</i>

    ¡°Mm, got it.¡± Xia Wanyuan switched off the television and walked upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan had always had a good sleep quality, but today, she was very surprised to lose sleep.

    Without Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling¡¯s bed, the space was especiallyrge. Xia Wanyuan rolled around on the bed and smelled the familiar scent of pine.

    This smell made Xia Wanyuan involuntarily recall the scene when she was surrounded by the pine fragrance in the pool today. Jun Shiling¡¯s heavy breathing seemed to spray beside her ear, and that gentle and aggressive possessiveness kept repeating in her mind.

    In the darkness, Xia Wanyuan blushed.

    As she thought about some random things, Xia Wanyuan gradually fell asleep. In her sleep, it was as if the cold pine fragrance made her feel at ease. Xia Wanyuan rolled towards the ce where Jun Shiling usually slept. It was only when she was surrounded by the pine fragrance that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slightly furrowed brows rxed and fell into her sweet dream.

    Jun Shiling, who was next door, could only endure the fatigue and spend the night sleepless.

    The next morning, Jun Shiling poured milk for Xia Wanyuan and picked up her favorite food for her as usual, but he was extremely restrained and polite.

    It was clearly the same action, but Xia Wanyuan clearly felt a barrier between her and Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but she didn¡¯t know what to say. The two of them could only finish breakfast in silence.

    ¡°Are you going to workter? I¡¯ll drive you,¡± Jun Shiling finally said.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±

    The atmosphere froze again.

    Until they got into the car, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling didn¡¯t speak much.

    Hence, the Jun Corporation was enveloped in a low atmosphere today. The executives who came and went were afraid that they had to be ordered by Jun Shiling, so they would only appear in front of Jun Shiling and not go.

    All sorts of statistical ounts on the Inte were very active today. Because Xie Rou¡¯s album, which was called ¡°The Light of Domestic Music,¡± had obtained first ce on all the major rankings, this had not happened in a long time.

    Xie Rou¡¯s fans were also extremely active and arrogant, talking about this matter everywhere.

 Chapter 253 - Change in the Company Industry

    <h4>Chapter 253: Change in the Company Industry</h4>

    [ There¡¯s no need to leavements everywhere, right? ]

    [ Everyone is saying that Xie Rou¡¯s song is the light of country music. The lyrics and melody are pretty good, but Xie Rou¡¯s voice can¡¯t keep up. ]

    [ The person in front, if you can do it, why aren¡¯t you popr? Why are you so jealous? Xie Rou was the first in the album category yesterday. Who are you? Did you surpass her results? Pfft, if you say that Xie Rou¡¯s voice isn¡¯t good, who are you? ]

    [ Fans, aren¡¯t you too arrogant? Do you really think you¡¯re the light of the country after praising you a little? ]

    [ I originally thought that Xie Rou¡¯s song was quite nice. The fans really lost favor and flooded the screen. ]

    Although there were somements that felt that Xie Rou¡¯s voice was not good enough for the lyrics and melody, they were suppressed by the overwhelming army ofments. There were only praises for Xie Rou on Weibo.

    As Xie Rou¡¯s poprity increased, Summer Wind Studio could not hold back anymore. They wanted to post Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new album, but they were stopped by Tang Yin.

    ¡°Miss Tang, are we just going to watch the other party make so much money?¡± Chen Can did not know why Tang Yin kept dying him from releasing the album.

    ¡°Just wait. I heard that Star Creation Entertainment has been signing arge number of endorsements and promotions for Xie Rou these two days. Let¡¯s wait until they¡¯re done signing them.¡± Tang Yin looked at theputer and saw all sorts of praises for Xie Rou. Her red lips curled up slightly.?<i>If she fell high enough, she would fall badly.</i>

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at thepany, Shen Qian was already waiting for her at the door.

    Shen Qian was a very opinionated and capable person. He wouldn¡¯t look for Xia Wanyuan for ordinary matters, but once he looked for Xia Wanyuan, it would definitely be an extremely important matter.

    After bringing Xia Wanyuan into the office, Shen Qian ced a document in front of her.

    ¡°The Xia family used to mainly work in the real estate industry. In recent years, the real estate industry has not been doing well. I¡¯ve discussed with others and hope to open a new industry line in the main industry and gradually reform thepany. Here are a few proposals. Take a look first.¡±

    Taking the document from Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan looked at it seriously. Shen Qian waited at the side and couldn¡¯t help but want to investigate Xia Wanyuan.

    Even though he had been in the sea of business for nearly ten years and had seen many storms, he still felt that Xia Wanyuan was unfathomable.

    ¡°What¡¯s everyone¡¯s opinion?¡± Xia Wanyuan read very quickly. She basically flipped through the pages and finished reading the entire text in an instant.

    Those who didn¡¯t know would think that she was putting on a show, but in the previous meeting, Shen Qian had already experienced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s power.

    ¡°The opinion of most of them is the first n. To enter the Inte industry. Now that the Inte industry is popr, there are still many ces to dig. The profits are alsorge, and it¡¯s easier to do.¡±

    ¡°What about you? I want to hear your opinion.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed the document and looked at Shen Qian.

    ¡°Personally, I¡¯m more inclined to thest n to do the cultural industry. But currently, only I think that this industry can be done, and the other shareholders don¡¯t agree.¡±

    ¡°Tell me your reason.¡±

    ¡°The domestic cultural industry has always been very weak. It can be said that it has basically not taken shape. However, our country itself is a country with an extremely deep cultural foundation. Over the years, the country has also strongly advocated for development of the cultural industry. It¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t been able to do it. But I think that as the economic strength of the country increases, the culture will sooner orter be valued in this aspect¡­¡±

    ¡°I agree with you.¡±

    Shen Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. He originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was just asking out of politeness. After all, basically all the shareholders agreed to the Inte industry¡¯s proposal. This was the easiest industry to establish and the fastest way to earn money.

    ¡°Just do it. I believe in you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Shen Qian affirmatively.

 Chapter 254 - The Princess Is Jealous

    <h4>Chapter 254: The Princess Is Jealous</h4>

    ¡°Okay.¡± From Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Shen Qian saw firm trust. As a subordinate, there was nothing more motivating than this trust.

    Shen Qian already had some preliminary thoughts in his mind. Hemunicated these thoughts with Xia Wanyuan, who gave him a lot of advice and inspiration.

    ¡°Then that¡¯s it. Just do it boldly.¡± Xia Wanyuan roughly understood Shen Qian¡¯s train of thought and increasingly felt that he was a useful talent.

    ¡°Okay, thank you for your trust, Director Xia. I¡¯ll send you out.¡± Although Shen Qian was much older than Xia Wanyuan, his respect for her came from the bottom of his heart.

    ¡°CEO Shen, there¡¯s a Miss with the surname Wang looking for you outside.¡± The secretary appeared at the door.

    Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel Shen Qian¡¯s expression stiffen.

    ¡°Director Xia, I¡¯ll take you out first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan picked up her bag and Shen Qian followed her out.

    At the office door, a young woman was in a deadlock with her secretary. She was wearing sunsses that covered half her face, but one could still tell that she had a pretty face.

    ¡°What right do you have to stop me?¡± Wang Ya wanted to rush into Shen Qian¡¯s office, but she was stopped by the secretary.

    The office door opened and Shen Qian walked out. When she saw the familiar thin figure, surprise shed across Wang Ya¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ah Qian.¡±

    However, Shen Qian ignored her and stood aside after pulling the door open. He weed a tall and slender woman. Wang Ya watched in a daze as Shen Qian brought the woman to the elevator and even sent her into it considerately.

    ¡°Shen Qian, tell me. Who is she?!¡± Jealousy shed across Wang Ya¡¯s eyes as she ran towards Shen Qian.

    ¡°Stop her.¡± However, Shen Qian, who always agreed to her requests, did not even allow her to get close this time.

    ¡°Shen Qian, I was wrong. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?¡± Seeing Shen Qian¡¯s cold expression, Wang Ya, who wanted to act coquettishly and win him back as usual, panicked.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to expose your identity, continue screaming. Come and find me again and I¡¯ll expose you. Isn¡¯t that what you¡¯re most afraid of?¡±

    As expected, when she heard Shen Qian say this, Wang Ya immediately shut her mouth.

    Shen Qian looked at Wang Ya mockingly. As expected, her nature didn¡¯t change.

    Shen Qian turned around resolutely. ¡°Take her away. Don¡¯t let this person enter thepany again.¡± Even though his tone was cold, Shen Qian¡¯s heart was in extreme pain.

    After all, she was his lover who had apanied him for nearly five years. He had also doted on her in the past. It was impossible for him not to be heartbroken after reaching this point.

    Wang Ya was chased out of thepany by the secretary. She put on her mask and looked around. She was relieved when she realized that no one was paying attention to her. However, when she thought of Shen Qian, her heart was filled with unwillingness.

    <i>That was my man. Even if I didn¡¯t want him anymore, I can¡¯t let another woman snatch him away!</i>

    After leaving the Xia familypany, Xia Wanyuan went to the apartment and personally prepared some food and changed clothes before heading to the Jun Corporation.

    The atmosphere in the morning was awkward, so Xia Wanyuan did not greet Jun Shiling and prepared to go upstairs herself.

    Every time she came, she would take the CEO¡¯s private elevator up. Hence, this time, she carried the lunch box and walked straight to the private elevator. However, she did not expect to see someone standing in front of the elevator.

    An extremely beautiful woman in a ck dress with suspenders exuded a different kind of charm and charm. Seeing someone approach, this person nced arrogantly at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the elevator button and waited by the side.

    ¡°Pfft, Brother Shiling¡¯spany really allows any cats and dogs to enter.¡±

    ¡°Hey, where did youe from? This is the CEO¡¯s private elevator. You¡¯re not allowed to use this. Go away.¡± The bodyguard behind the woman in the ck dress stood beside Xia Wanyuan, looking as if he wanted to chase her away.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and nced at the woman in the ck dress.

    <i>From the way she addressed Jun Shiling, the two of them seemed to be very familiar?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan, who had originally wanted to deliver food to Jun Shiling, suddenly lost her mood. Her heart felt an unnatural bitterness, and she turned around to leave with the lunch box.

    ¡°Do you even need to report such things? Block all the women whoe to look for Master Jun, and don¡¯t let go of the elevator.¡± The secretary received a call from the front desk for no reason.

    ¡®Is the front desk of the Jun Corporation going to be changed? What¡¯s the use of leaving a receptionist who can¡¯t even understand such things here? Is she going to be a fortune cat?¡¯

    ¡°No, Secretary Li. I think one of the two women is wearing sunsses and a mask. From her figure, she looks like the one CEO Jun went to pick upst time,¡± the youngdy at the front desk said with a shiver.

    ¡°What? Wait a minute, I¡¯ll report to Assistant Lin immediately.¡±

    After receiving the news, Lin Jing immediately went downstairs and intercepted Xia Wanyuan, who was about to leave.

    ¡°Lin Jing, what¡¯s wrong with the elevator? I¡¯m in a hurry to see Brother Shiling.¡± The woman in the ck dress saw Lin Jing arrive and brushed her hair impatiently. ¡°Open the elevator quickly.¡±

    ¡°Miss Zheng, this is reserved for the CEO. You can only enter after President Jun permits it.¡± Lin Jing had his usual standard smile.

    ¡°Do I need permission to go up?¡± Zheng Fei¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. With her background, wherever she went, she would be ttered. Now, she was already very impatient to make her wait for so long. In the end, even a mere special assistant had to order her around.

    ¡°Since you said you¡¯re familiar with CEO Jun, you can give him a call. As long as he agrees.¡±

    Zheng Fei subconsciously wanted to take out her phone, but she suddenly recalled that she did not seem to have Jun Shiling¡¯s number. She immediately felt embarrassed.

    Lin Jing did not want to talk to her anymore. He turned and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come up with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Zheng Fei¡¯s ugly expression. She had originally nned to leave directly, but thinking of how arrogant this woman in the ck dress was just now, she still decided.

    She would only leave after angering her.

    Zheng Fei wanted to argue further when she saw Lin Jing bring Xia Wanyuan into the elevator.

    ¡°She¡­¡± Zheng Fei widened her eyes and pointed at Xia Wanyuan angrily.

    ¡°It looks like you¡¯re not as good as cats and dogs.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice sounded, making Zheng Fei so angry that her face flushed red. She could not even maintain her elegant bearing.

    ¡°That person just now is the younger daughter of the Zheng family in Beijing. CEO Jun has only seen Zheng Fei twice. She has always imed to have a high status and wanted to get close to CEO Jun. CEO Jun has never bothered with her.¡±

    Lin Jing carefully exined from the side. Xia Wanyuan hummed in response. Lin Jing could not tell if Xia Wanyuan was angry.

    Jun Shiling had also received a report from the secretary. Zheng family? A cold glint shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He knew very well what the Zheng family was up to.

    The person opened the office door without knocking.

    ¡°Get out.¡±

    Jun Shiling signed the documents on the table and said without looking up.

    Thest time Zheng Fei had barged into Jun Shiling¡¯s office, Jun Shiling had immediately changed the guard at the front desk. It seemed like he was going to change again.

    ¡°Mm,¡± the person replied softly and turned to leave.

    When Jun Shiling heard this voice, he immediately looked up.

 Chapter 255 - The Princess is Angry, Master Jun is Confused

    <h4>Chapter 255: The Princess is Angry, Master Jun is Confused</h4>

    Even from behind, Jun Shiling instantly recognized Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Jun Shiling put down the documents in his hand, hurriedly stood up, strode to the door, and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding hers, and he immediately let go of her.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you very busy? I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± As Xia Wanyuan spoke, there was a hint of anger that she did not realize.

    ¡°I¡¯m not busy. Come in.¡± Jun Shiling took the lunch box from Xia Wanyuan and weed her in.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and removed her sses and mask. Jun Shiling acutely sensed the coldness on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and was puzzled.?<i>Who had provoked her?</i>

    ¡°How was your trip to thepany today?¡± Jun Shiling probed.

    ¡°Pretty good.¡±

    Alright, now Jun Shiling was certain who had angered Xia Wanyuan.

    Normally, Xia Wanyuan would share what she had encountered in thepany with him and seek his advice. Now that she had only said two words, she must be angry.

    ¡°Come, let¡¯s eat.¡± Jun Shiling arranged the food and handed the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took the chopsticks and ate without a word.

    Picking up a piece of pork rib, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes warmed. ¡°You cooked it.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    As usual, Jun Shiling picked up Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite food and ced it in her bowl while he ate what she didn¡¯t like.

    ¡°Miss Zheng, you can¡¯t go in.¡± It was noisy outside the office. Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped eating.

    ¡°Get out of my way. I¡¯m CEO Jun¡¯s childhood sweetheart. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?¡±

    Zheng Fei¡¯s family was extremely powerful, and she was surrounded by people wherever she went. She had never been stopped before, so she immediately got the bodyguards to move the secretary away.

    Just as she was about to enter Jun Shiling¡¯s office, the door suddenly opened and Jun Shiling appeared at the door with a fierce aura. Zheng Fei¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Brother Shiling, I¡¯m the younger sister of the Zheng family. You servants are so unruly. How dare they stop me?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her coldly, took out his phone, and made a call.

    ¡°If you can¡¯t control your own people, I don¡¯t mind sending her to Prison 7.¡±

    Without waiting for a reply, Jun Shiling hung up the phone. At that moment, Lin Jing came up with the security team.

    ¡°Send them to the police station and tell Director Liu to do things impartially,¡± Jun Shiling instructed before turning to leave.

    ¡°Brother Shiling!¡± Zheng Fei looked at the cold Jun Shiling in surprise. Old Master Jun had a good rtionship with her grandfather. Furthermore, the Zheng family was a political party that many people in Beijing wanted to climb up. She thought that Jun Shiling would definitely see her if she came to look for Jun Shiling.

    The security team only listened to Jun Shiling¡¯s orders. They did not care about Zheng Fei¡¯s background and sent her and her bodyguards to the police station.

    Director Liu looked at the people who had been sent over and heard what Jun Shiling had said. He instantly had a headache.?<i>Why were all of them so powerful!?</i>

    However, Director Liu still chose to listen to Jun Shiling and detained Zheng Fei as a provocation.

    When Jun Shiling entered the house, Xia Wanyuan had already put down her chopsticks. Her expression looked even colder than before.

    ¡°Why are you eating so little? Eat more.¡± Jun Shiling went forward and saw that the food in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl was still there.

    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± The moment Xia Wanyuan spoke, both of them were stunned.

 Chapter 256 - CEO Jun, the Punching Bag

    <h4>Chapter 256: CEO Jun, the Punching Bag</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she had never spoken so carelessly.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart sank at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    It seemed that the previous few intimate actions had finally aroused Xia Wanyuan¡¯s disgust, to the point that she was resisting him to this extent.

    ¡°Then don¡¯t eat. Have some tea.¡± Jun Shiling suppressed the gloom in his heart and forced a smile as he poured Xia Wanyuan a cup of tea.

    ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Xia Wanyuan herself did not know why her tone had suddenly turned bad. She had always been good at controlling her emotions.

    ¡°I know. Have some tea.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and handed the teacup to Xia Wanyuan. He picked up the bowl and quietly ate the food on the table.

    Jun Shiling, who was wrapped in a fierce aura, actually looked a little aggrieved.

    The food that Xia Wanyuan prepared was for two people. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t move her chopsticks much, and Jun Shiling slowly ate all the food that Xia Wanyuan had prepared.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you full?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be wasted if we can¡¯t finish it.¡± Jun Shiling usually controlled his diet and did not eat much. Now that he had eaten two portions of food, he felt fine.

    Furthermore, this was made by Xia Wanyuan. He did not know if he would be able to eat her cooking in the future. Jun Shiling sighed silently in his heart. He naturally did not want to waste it at all.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan wanted to return to the manor.

    Jun Shiling informed Lin Jing on his phone and postponed all the meetings in the afternoon. Then he looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I happen to have nothing on in the afternoon. Let¡¯s go back together.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The car drove on the streets and suddenly passed by a cake shop. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s love for sweets, Jun Shiling got the chauffeur to get out of the car and buy one.

    As she did not eat much for lunch, when Xia Wanyuan smelled the cake, her appetite was aroused.

    She scooped a spoonful and ced it in her mouth. The taste was slightly bitter.?<i>It tasted a little like plums?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at the packaging on the box. As expected, it was green plum.

    Upon seeing the words ¡®green plum¡¯ [1. The Chinese words for ¡®green plum¡¯ is the same as the first two words of ¡®childhood sweetheart¡¯ in Chinese.], Xia Wanyuan recalled the words¡¯ childhood sweetheart ¡®and ¡®Brother Shiling¡¯ that Zheng Fei had mentioned. She immediately lost her appetite and ced the remaining cake on the table.

    ¡°Are you unwell?¡± Jun Shiling asked Xia Wanyuan in concern.

    ¡°I feel pretty good.¡± For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt an unknownplicated emotion surge in her heart when she saw Jun Shiling.

    Sensing the impatience in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone, Jun Shiling clenched his fists slightly and stopped disturbing her.

    After returning to the manor, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and watched television. Jun Shiling did not go to the study to work, which was unusual. Instead, he sat by the French windows and looked out at the garden. No one knew what he was thinking.

    Uncle Wang was experienced. With one look, he knew that the two of them had gotten into a fight. However, he could not interfere much with Jun Shiling¡¯s matter, so he could only worry in his heart.

    Ding. At that moment, the phone by the sofa rang. Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone. Before she could speak, the other party had already called out, ¡°Brother Shiling.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression turned cold and she put the phone aside. ¡°Jun Shiling, it¡¯s for you.¡±

    Jun Shiling heard themotion and came to answer the phone. He only listened for a second before hanging up the phone. He looked at the caller ID and saw the Zheng family¡¯s number.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were cold.

    It seemed that because the Zheng family¡¯s political career had been smooth sailing for the past few years, they really treated themselves as one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing.

    Thinking that Xia Wanyuan had not eaten lunch and was in a bad mood, Jun Shiling wanted to take her out for a meal in the afternoon to rx. ¡°I think you quite like to eat fish. I¡¯ll bring you to a delicious ce that makes fish in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan rejected him decisively.

    ¡°That family really made pretty good food. I went to eat with my friends when I was young.¡± That ¡°lotus pond¡± had been open for many years. Back then, he had saved Bo Xiao in the pool at the entrance of that ¡°lotus pond¡±.

    Later on, Bo Xiao brought him to eat a few times. The fish at that restaurant was quite good and the environment was very elegant.

    Hearing Jun Shiling mention his childhood friends, Xia Wanyuan naturally thought of the so-called childhood sweetheart, Zheng Fei.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart was in a mess. Before her brain could react, she had already blurted out, ¡°Which friend? Is it your childhood sweetheart?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s inexplicable words stunned Jun Shiling.

    He had grown up alone since he was young. The only person he had been close to was Bo Xiao, let alone any woman.?<i>Where did this childhood sweetheart sistere from?</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze suddenly swept across the phone. Thinking of the fake ¡°Brother Shiling¡± that woman from the Zheng family, he suddenly had an epiphany and strung everything together.

    It seemed that everything wrong with Xia Wanyuan had started at noon.

    A guess that he could not believe surged from the bottom of his heart. Even the usually calm Jun Shiling could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

    His eyes, which had been gloomy for the entire day, were now shockingly bright.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan also realized that something was wrong. She cursed in her heart.?<i>What¡¯s wrong with me today? I¡¯m really messed up.</i>?She turned to leave, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

    Uncle Wang, who was pacing back and forth anxiously not far away, hurriedly retreated when he saw this scene.

    <i>Damn, young people were really torturous when they fell in love. It made my old heart palpitate.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s extremely bright eyes, as if he was especially happy about something.

    Jun Shiling barely suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Thinking that he could not scare Xia Wanyuan. He had to take it slow and not let this seedling that had finally appeared be frightened away by him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have childhood sweethearts. Ever since I was young, other than having a friend like Bo Xiao, I didn¡¯t have any other close friends or sisters. I¡¯ve only seen Zheng Fei three times in total. When I was young during her grandfather¡¯s fiftieth birthday was once, and the seventieth birthday the previous year was another time, and today was thest time.¡±

    Jun Shiling seemed to be confessing. Hebed through the extremely simple rtionship, his eyes serious and solemn.

    ¡°Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me.¡± Xia Wanyuan struggled free of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand with an unnatural expression. However, it could not be denied that because of Jun Shiling¡¯s words, the frustration in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart was instantly relieved.

    ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to misunderstand. I don¡¯t want you to think that I¡¯m such a yboy. What childhood sweetheart all?¡± Jun Shiling was not angry when his hand was pulled away because he could clearly see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression soften.

    ¡°Got it. CEO Jun is the most loyal person, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and could not help but joke.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know,¡± Jun Shiling replied inexplicably. Before Xia Wanyuan could probe further, he changed the topic. ¡°That fish is really delicious. I haven¡¯t been there for many years. Just treat it as apanying me, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

 Chapter 257 - Call CEO Jun Teacher

    <h4>Chapter 257: Call CEO Jun Teacher</h4>

    Jun Shiling called the boss of ¡°Lotus Pond Moon Color¡±. It was afternoon and there was no one around. Since Jun Shiling wasing, the boss began to clear the area.

    It was rare for her to go out. Hearing that the ce was in the suburbs, Xia Wanyuan wanted to drive out herself.

    Hence, a ck Bugatti La Voitur Noire appeared on the streets of Beijing.

    Even if Beijing was a ce where there were as many rich people as there were cows, top-notch sports cars like Bugatti La Voture Noir could not be bought with money.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. Which rich second-generation heir brought the school belle¡¯s girlfriend out to blow up the streets again?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so good to be rich. If I were rich, I would have brought my girlfriend out to blow up the streets too.¡±

    When the sports car got closer, everyone realized that it was a woman who was driving. The sports car whistled past, but it left a lot of discussion.

    ¡°You¡¯re wrong. The richdy blew up the streets with the pretty boy.¡±

    ¡°When will I be kept by a rich woman?¡±

    ¡°What do you know? Why should the rich woman support you?¡±

    ¡°I know how to eat. Six bowls of rice for one meal.¡±

    ¡°¡­ haha.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After driving for about two hours, they finally arrived at ake with endless lotus leaves in the suburbs. It was almost summer.

    Although the lotus flowers had not bloomed, the lotus leaves in theke were already overwhelming green.

    Jun Shiling got out of the car, picked up the umbre by the side, and opened it to shield Xia Wanyuan from the sun.

    It was different from what Xia Wanyuan had imagined. The shop ¡°Lotus Pond Moon¡± was notrge. It was a small courtyard hidden in the middle of the green trees. There was a small river in the courtyard that connected to theke outside. The tall sycamore trees cast a green shade in the courtyard.

    A white-haired but energetic old man walked into the courtyard.

    ¡°Uncle Qin.¡± Jun Shiling nodded at this person.

    Qin Kai grinned. ¡°Long time no see. Should I call you CEO Jun now?¡±

    ¡°Uncle Qin, you must be joking. You should call me Xiaojun. It sounds intimate. This is my wife, Xia Wanyuan.¡± Jun Shiling introduced Xia Wanyuan to Qin Kai.

    Xia Wanyuan was already used to the word wife, so she didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong with it.

    When Qin Kai heard this word from Jun Shiling, his heart skipped a beat. He seriously sized up Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What a gooddy!¡± Qin Kai praised from the bottom of his heart.

    He had seen so many people here. This Xia Wanyuan was the most stunning person he had ever seen.

    ¡°How lucky, Xiaojun. You must cherish it.¡± Qin Kai looked at Jun Shiling with mixed emotions. Although Jun Shiling was the young master of the Jun family back then, his expression was always cold and cheerless.

    Now, seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at the woman beside him, Qin Kai, who had watched Jun Shiling grow up, sighed.

    ¡°I will. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Qin.¡±

    ¡°Have a seat first. I¡¯ll get someone to fish in theke and make some for you.¡± After Qin Kai finished speaking, he instructed the disciples in the kitchen to catch the fresh fish in theke.

    In recent years, Qin Kai had stopped cooking and gradually gave the stove to his disciples. However, it was rare for Jun Shiling toe today, so Qin Kai made an exception and cooked himself.

    Sitting in the green courtyard and listening to the chirping of insects and birds outside, Xia Wanyuan had a transcendent joy.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brows gradually rx, Jun Shiling handed her a cup of cold tea. ¡°You¡¯re not angry with me anymore, are you?¡±

    ¡°When did I get angry at you?¡± Xia Wanyuan avoided Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze unnaturally.

    ¡°Okay, you¡¯re not angry at me. Then can you tell me how was it at thepany today?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unnatural expression, Jun Shiling did not force her anymore. With a smile in his eyes, he considerately changed the topic.

    ¡°Shen Qian gave me a few proposals today¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan refined the contents of the proposal that she had seen in the morning and told it to Jun Shiling.¡± If it were you, which proposal would you choose? ¡±

    ¡°Culture.¡± As Xia Wanyuan had expected, Jun Shiling had indeed chosen the same choice as her.

    ¡°I guess you chose culture too.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes light up, Jun Shiling knew that he had the same opinion as her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the domestic cultural industry yet. Tell me about it.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation was from a much grander angle than Shen Qian¡¯s, and this grandness was not an illusory fantasy.

    It was as if there was an invisible database hidden in Jun Shiling¡¯s mind that could provide all sorts of data support. Through these countless data, he constructed models and simted reasonable results.

    Xia Wanyuan supported her head with one hand as she listened to Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation. Whenever she encountered something she didn¡¯t understand, she humbly asked for advice.

    Hence, within an hour of Uncle Qin cooking, Xia Wanyuan had basically understood the domestic cultural industry market. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had many unique insights during his exnation, which gave Xia Wanyuan a lot of inspiration.

    Xia Wanyuan had a preliminary n for thepany¡¯s future development. When this n was realized, the value of the entirepany would be multiplied.

    ¡°You spoke too well.¡± After Jun Shiling finished his exnation, Xia Wanyuan could not help but praise Jun Shiling. He spoke in simple terms and had the support of theory and real data. ¡°If you teach, you will definitely be a very good teacher.¡±

    ¡°Am I not a teacher now? Unfortunately, someone hasn¡¯t even called me teacher.¡±

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. Even though he hade all the way with apuse and flowers, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise was ultimately different from others.

    ¡°Yes, Teacher.¡±

    Jun Shiling had only said it casually, but Xia Wanyuan stood up and bowed to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jun Shiling stopped Xia Wanyuan from bowing further, his eyes filled with a helpless smile.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled yfully. ¡°You taught me so well. It¡¯s only right for me to call you teacher.¡±

    The two of them were ying around when Qin Kai walked over with a pot of fish. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at the two of them. ¡°Try the lotus fish I made.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat back down. Jun Shiling picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and ced it in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    The bones of the fish had long been removed. The fish meat that was raised in theke naturally and tempered by the natural wind and rain was more fresh and tender than the fish meat in the outside world. With Qin Kai¡¯s excellent cooking skills, he retained the most authentic taste of the fish meat without any fishy smell.

    ¡°Delicious!¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up as she praised from the bottom of her heart.

    ¡°As long as you like it. Xiaojun, get more food for your wife. There¡¯s more after that.¡±

    Jun Shiling ate a lot in the afternoon and realized that Xia Wanyuan was basically the one eating the next pot of fish. Jun Shiling picked up food for her from the side.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The time in this small courtyard was peaceful, and the inte had already exploded. There was no other reason than that the famous Xiafeng Studio had released an album, an album named ¡°Wanfeng¡± by Xia Wanyuan.

    This was not enough to explode the entire Inte. What exploded the trending topic on the Inte was that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs were basically the same as Xie Rou¡¯s ¡°Gentle Intents¡±.

    The simrity between the lyrics and melody was as high as 98%.

    <h4>Chapter 258: The Company Is Not Humane</h4>

    [ What¡¯s going on? Is it giarism? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t this copy too brazen? It¡¯s so obvious that they look alike. Even a music idiot like me can tell. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lyrics and melody especially amazing? Why do I feel like I smell melon fields? ]

    [ But Xie Rou posted this song first. ording to the sequence, it should be Xia Wanyuan who giarized Xie Rou. ]

    After the famous music blogger, the Ear King, heard theparison between the two, he also posted on Weibo.

    @ Ear King: ¡°Yesterday, I had to admit that the mood of the lyrics and songs I listened to ¡®Soft Will¡¯ was pretty good, but I kept feeling like I was missing something. Only after listening to ¡®Wanfeng¡¯ today did I know what I was missing. Although the styles of these six songs are different, they have the same carefree and natural feeling. It¡¯s obvious that Xie Rou¡¯s voice skills did not bring out the greatest beauty of these few songs, and Xia Wanyuan did.¡±

    [ I have the same feeling. Just that night breeze, when I listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song, I had the feeling of sitting on the grass and watching the setting sun, then the wind blew past my ears. I didn¡¯t have this feeling when I listened to Xie Rou¡¯s song. ]

    [ You can giarize just because you sing well? Is there such a logic? ]

    [ You¡¯re actually standing up for the giarist. To think that I¡¯ve been paying attention to you for so long. I¡¯m closing and unfollowing. ]

    [ The person in front, how did you know that it was Xia Wanyuan who giarized Xie Rou? Perhaps it was Xie Rou who giarized Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ The person in front, I agree with you. That Xie Rou hasn¡¯t had many works in the past few years. It¡¯s too fake for her to suddenly have so many good works. ]

    Everyone was in a lively discussion. Star Creation Entertainment had also received calls from various partners to inquire about the situation. They had finally pacified all the partners. After discussion, the higher-ups decided to directly break the contract with Xia Wanyuan and file a breach of contractwsuit andpensation against her.

    @ Star Creation Entertainment: ¡°Ourpany deres that as an artiste of ourpany, Xia Wanyuan did not abide by thepany¡¯s rules and contract regtions. She vited the rules and signed a manager herself. Without thepany¡¯s permission, she privately epted an endorsement. Without thepany¡¯s approval, she privately invited the studio to release an album and obtained the parent belt of Xie Rou¡¯s songs through her job, copying and producing Xie Rou¡¯s songs.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s vitions of the rules have seriously hurt thepany¡¯s feelings and vited the contract between the two parties. Mypany has dered that from the day of its release, we will terminate the contract with Xia Wanyuan and will file awsuit against her, asking her topensate mypany for all its losses. ¡±

    [ Wow, thank thepany for helping us restore Xie Rou¡¯s reputation. Thank you for protecting her well. ]

    [ Why didn¡¯t those people who said that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t giarize Xie Rou appear? ]

    [ Thepany has directly crushed Xia Wanyuan to death at the bottom of the pit. ]

    [ She deserves it. Didn¡¯t she just act as a Heavenly Spirit Princess? Does she really think she¡¯s a princess? She¡¯s so arrogant. Didn¡¯t she say a few days ago that Star Creation Entertainment is a lousypany? She definitely won¡¯t fancy this lousypany. ]

    At the same time, all major music tforms had also received requests from Star Creation Entertainment to remove Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs.

    Everyone who had doubts about the giarism incident changed their attitude when they saw Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s Weibo post.

    giarism was a very despicable thing. Immediately, many people swarmed to Xiafeng Studio and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo to scold them for giarism.

    When everyone¡¯s anger had fermented to a certain extent, Xia Wanyuan finally appeared.

 Chapter 259 - The Truth About the Plagiarism Exposed

    <h4>Chapter 259: The Truth About the giarism Exposed</h4>

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo posted a new status.

    To be precise, Tang Yin and Chen Yun had used Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo ount to post a post. After all, Xia Wanyuan was still admiring the lotus leaves and eating fish in the small courtyard.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°The first melody in the first lyrics of Wanfeng, the second melody in the second lyrics, the third melody in the third lyrics¡­¡±

    Everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan woulde out to rify, but no one expected her to do so in such a way. These inexplicable words stunned everyone.

    [ What nonsense is this?? ]

    [ Is this rification?? What¡¯s wrong with the lyrics? Why don¡¯t I understand them? ]

    [ Let¡¯s not talk too much. Xia Wanyuan, apologize to our Xie Rou and get lost from the entertainment industry, okay? You giarism dog. ]

    [ ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo, I went to piece together those notes. I feel that the tune is quite familiar. ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anti-fans and Xie Rou¡¯s fans did not care what Xia Wanyuan had posted at all and kept criticizing her on her Weibo. However, there were still some cautious people who followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo and strung the melody of Wanfeng¡¯s song together. Then, they made a shocking discovery.

    @ Carrot Loves To Eat Little Bunnies: ¡°F*ck!!!! I arranged the melody in Wanfeng¡¯s song ording to Xia Wanyuan. This music ispletely simr to the first piece of music Xia Wanyuanposed for the Heavenly Spirit Princess during the live broadcast!!!! Amazing! Too talented!¡±

    There was a small video attached below. The blogger extracted the tones from the song ¡°Wind of the Night¡± one by one, thenbined them and yed it smoothly once. Then, he yed the first piece of the theme song of the Heavenly Spirit Princess. There was no difference between the two.

    This Weibo post was also reposted byizens and quickly exited the entertainment industry. Unless Xie Rou could present evidence to prove that the song written by the Heavenly Spirit Princess was hers, all the evidence pointed to Xia Wanyuan being the originalposer of these songs.

    [ Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a big show. ]

    [ Xie Rou is amazing too. Star Creation Entertainment is quite a funnypany. It¡¯s obvious that they used Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs to release an album for Xie Rou. ]

    [ Perhaps thepany and Xia Wanyuan have already discussed this. Thepany hasn¡¯t even opened their mouths yet. What are you guys specting about? I believe Xie Rou isn¡¯t such a person. Wait for the truth. ]

    [ Retard fans, what a joke. You¡¯re still protecting your master even until your death. ]

    Before themotion could die down, Xia Wanyuan reposted a Weibo post by ¡°Wan Shi Studio¡±.

    After Tang Yin took over Xia Wanyuan¡¯s job, she realized that Xia Wanyuan did not even have a studio and had to rely on herself to post everything. Hence, she discussed with Chen Yun and applied for a Weibo ount specially used to post all sorts of official news about Xia Wanyuan.

    Of course, when she was choosing the name of the studio, she received friendlyfort and guidance from Assistant Lin. In any case, Xia Wanyuan did not care what the studio¡¯s name was. Under Assistant Lin¡¯s hint, Tang Yin chose this name.

    @ Wanshi Studio: ¡°Regarding giarism, we just want to ask everyone to see the time this email was sent.¡±

    There was a screenshot attached. Although CEO Wang had gotten someone to hack Chen Yun¡¯s email, he did not take this matter to heart at all. Hence, the traces were notpletely cleared. Chen Yun found a hacker and restored the original email.

    The email showed that half a month before Xie Rou posted the song, Chen Yun had sent CEO Wang an email. The email clearly wrote, ¡°This is the song lyrics written by Xia Wanyuan. CEO Wang, please review it.¡±

    Now, the truth was out. It waspletely Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s excuse to take Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs for themselves and even released an album for Xie Rou.

    A few minutester, Wan Shi Studio posted another Weibo post.

    Wan Shi Studio: ¡°It¡¯s indeed a lousypany @ Star Creation Entertainment.¡±

    Then, there was a small video attached. It was the video of Xia Wanyuan being brought to drink with Supervisor Jin the previous time. In the video, the hypocritical faces of the higher-ups of Star Creation Entertainment and the ugly appearance of Supervisor Jin wanting to use his power to make Xia Wanyuan submit could be seen.

    This video instantly caused amotion.

    [ Eurgh, I¡¯m vomiting. What kind of trash is Star Creation Entertainment? Saying that they¡¯re a lousypany is already praising them. They¡¯re too cheap. ]

    [ The group of people who scolded Xia Wanyuan for being ungrateful and copying dogs,e out. Open your dog eyes. Who is the dog that giarized? ]

    [ What kind of lousypany is this? They casually giarized the hard work of an artiste and released an album for another artiste in the blink of an eye. They even want an artiste to apany them for drinks. What do they treat an artiste as? A mistress? ]

    [ Since Xia Wanyuan was treated like this because she was unwilling to submit to the despotic power of Star Creation Entertainment, can I boldly guess what shameful rtionship Xie Rou has with the higher-ups that they treat her so well? They even stole Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs for her to release an album. ]

    [ The sister in front, you have a lot of thoughts. I agree with your guess. ]

    Theizens¡¯ ability to watch the drama could be said to be the current Sherlock Holmes of the entertainment industry.

    Soon, everyone found some clues from Xie Rou¡¯s photos.

    Someone had pulled out Xie Rou and CEO Wang¡¯s couple shirt. When they took the photos, the wall decoration that was revealed after beingpared byizens was the same as CEO Wang¡¯s house.

    There were evenizens who erged and edited Xie Rou¡¯s single-person photo. They forcibly detained a figure in flowery clothes from her pupils. Coincidentally, CEO Wang had worn this flowery dress when he participated in other activities that day.

    [ Netizens really can do anything. They¡¯re first ce. ]

    [ If you guys had used a little more of your strength in other aspects, would we still need to watch foreign Sherlock Holmes? ]

    [ You guys are really amazing to be able to dig this out. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Xie Rou¡¯s image of a pure and beautiful woman looks gentle and weak on the surface, but she¡¯s extremely unrestrained deep down. ]

    [ How can you steal someone¡¯s songs and release them? How can you say that you¡¯ve studied them for three years before writing these songs? You¡¯re too shameless. ]

    [ You¡¯re wrong. Maybe she really studied martial arts in bed for three years. Otherwise, how could she seduce CEO Wang of Star Creation Entertainment? Look, didn¡¯t she get this album? ]

    The huge wave that spread from Wan Shi Studio swept outyer byyer.

    It was originally a matter in the entertainment industry, but because Star Creation Entertainment had released this album for Xie Rou, the sales were especiallyrge. This was considered an extremely serious scam, so it attracted the attention of many official media.

    The users felt cheated and demanded a refund from the music tform. Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s shares fell in a straight line.

 Chapter 260 - Bankruptcy

    <h4>Chapter 260: Bankruptcy</h4>

    In the hotel, CEO Wang, who had been confused the entire night and had not woken up until the afternoon, was sleeping soundly with Xie Rou in his arms. His phone rang one after another.

    Xie Rou snorted, which piqued CEO Wang¡¯s interest. He kissed her on the body. The phone rang non-stop as if it was urging him to die. CEO Wang reached for the phone and picked it up impatiently. ¡°Hello? What did you say?!!¡±

    CEO Wang, who was initiallyzy, broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and ran out. He did not even respond to Xie Rou¡¯s calls.

    Under the tremendous pressure of public opinion and the attention of the officials on such a social fraud event, all the music tforms had removed Xie Rou¡¯s album.

    To minimize losses, the music tform came up with an idea. It gave all users who had bought Xie Rou¡¯s album two choices. One was to choose to refund the album, and the other was to choose to use Xia Wanyuan¡¯s album to rece Xie Rou¡¯s album. This way, the fee would not be refunded.

    To the surprise of all the major music tforms, up to 90% of users chose the second method.

    After all, everyone had bought Xie Rou¡¯s album songs because they felt that the melody and melody were good. As for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, it was much better than Xie Rou¡¯s. With this in mind, everyone felt that they had gained something, so they happily agreed to change the album.

    In an instant, the champion of the various music charts changed from Xie Rou to Xia Wanyuan.

    Star Creation Entertainment had already exploded into a mess. There were checks from the higher-ups,pensation from the music tform, and terminating contracts from all the major endorsement brands. Because of the especially bad social impact, many celebrities under thepany also requested to terminate their contracts.

    This entertainmentpany that could once be considered a name in the entertainment industry had copsed in just two hours.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had not eaten lunch and was very hungry. Jun Shiling did not touch his chopsticks much and they all entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious. Bring Xiao Bao over next time.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks and took the tea from Jun Shiling to rinse her mouth.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling was naturally willing toe over again next time.

    By the time they finished the meal, it was already evening. Arge patch of fiery clouds dyed the entire courtyard orange-yellow. The journey back to Beijing was a little far, so Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did not dy further. After bidding Uncle Qin farewell, they left the lotus pond.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little bloated and tired. When they returned, Jun Shiling took the initiative to sit in the pilot¡¯s seat and let Xia Wanyuan sit beside him to rest.

    Hence, in the capital city, the ck Bugatti La Voture Noir that they had seen once in the day appeared once again.

    ¡°Wow, the richdy brought a pretty boy back.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. I saw this car in the afternoon and it amazed me. Now, it still amazed me. Where can I find such a rich woman to keep me? I¡¯m waiting online. It¡¯s quite urgent.¡±

    ¡°There seems to be a man in the driver¡¯s seat. Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, I¡¯ll go to Thand for an operation now. I¡¯ll be done when Ie back and charm millions of rich people.¡±

    ¡°¡­Haha.¡±?<i>My colleague seems to be a fool who keeps dreaming.</i>

    By the time they arrived at the manor, the sky had already darkened.

    A small figure squatted at the entrance of the main building. Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walk over, Xiao Bao cried pitifully, ¡°Mommy, go out and y without me. Boohoo.¡±

    As Xiao Bao spoke, he felt even more aggrieved. His tears fell like little golden beans. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached at the sight of it.

    ¡°Good boy, we only went there once in advance. I¡¯ll definitely bring you along next time, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s headfortingly, but he still sobbed. He was extremely sad and felt that his parents had secretly gone out and not bring him.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how tofort him.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder and gestured for her to enter the house.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan leave, Xiao Bao stood up to follow her into the house, but Jun Shiling held his head.

    .

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re a bad person. You kidnapped Mommy again. Boohoo, you didn¡¯t bring me.¡± Xiao Bao was about to cry again.

    ¡°Do you know why I went out alone with your mother?¡± Jun Shiling looked at his son¡¯s crying face in disdain, but he gently wiped his tears for him and picked him up.

    ¡°Why?¡± Xiao Bao felt much better as heid in his father¡¯s safe arms.

    ¡°Do you want a sister?¡± Jun Shiling asked Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Thinking of a cute and adorable sister, Xiao Bao¡¯s tears stopped falling and his big eyes were filled with anticipation.

    ¡°I want to build a rtionship with your mother so that you can have a cute sister as soon as possible, understand?¡± Xiao Bao was much smarter than his peers. In many situations, Jun Shiling would not just coax him. Instead, he would discuss and reason with him seriously.

    ¡°Then Daddy, when can I have a younger sister?¡± Xiao Bao clung to Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, his eyes shining. He really wanted to have a younger sister now!

    ¡°In a while, so you have to be good and help Daddy and Mommy build up their rtionship, okay?¡± Jun Shiling pinched his son¡¯s chubby little face.

    ¡°Daddy, you can do it! I¡¯ll help you! Give birth to a sister for me as soon as possible!¡± Thinking of his sister, Xiao Bao jumped happily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, but was mercilessly restrained by him.

    ¡°This is a secret between us men. You¡¯re not allowed to tell your mother, understand?¡±

    ¡°Mmm!! Daddy, don¡¯t worry! I am the most tight-lipped person!¡± Xiao Bao puffed up his chest proudly. He was a little man too!

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy you the ne you want tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the best!!¡± Xiao Bao, who was instantly healed by the toy, had tears in his eyes, but the smile on his face was already bright.

    Xia Wanyuan had just changed her clothes and came down when she saw Xiao Bao happily circling around Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. In the past, Xiao Bao had listened to her the most, but now he was even more obedient to Jun Shiling.

    There was a hint of jealousy in her heart.

    ¡°Mommy! Eat this. It¡¯s especially delicious.¡± The unhappiness from before had long been forgotten. Seeing Xia Wanyuane down, Xiao Bao stuck to her as usual.

    Xia Wanyuan took the strawberry from Xiao Bao and fed it to him. Xiao Bao moved closer to her.

    ¡°Mommy, when are you going to give birth to a little sister for me?¡±

    ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Xia Wanyuan choked.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened when he heard Xiao Bao.?<i>Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be the most tight-lipped??</i>

    <i>It was a loss buying the ne.</i>

    ¡°Why are you suddenly asking me this?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of the warm water Jun Shiling handed her then felt a little better.

    ¡°Because I want a sister. Mommy, my ssmate¡¯s sister is especially cute and soft. I like her so much. Mommy, can you give birth to a sister for me too?¡±

    ¡°Well¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan hesitated. She did not know how to exin it to Xiao Bao, so she could only look at Jun Shiling for help. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would lower his head and y with his phone. He had no intention of helping her.

    ¡°Okay? Mommy, give me a sister. If you go out with Daddy again in the future, I can y with my sister at home.¡± Xiao Bao tugged at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, his bright eyes filled with anticipation.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You will have a sister.¡± Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to give an ambiguous answer.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re the best. I like you the most!!!¡± Xiao Bao acted coquettishly and hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Then who do you like second?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.

    ¡°Second best, I like Pikachu. Pika-pika.¡±

    ¡°And the third ce?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s darkened face and suppressed herughter.

    ¡°Third best, I like Sun Wukong !! I want the 72 Transformations too!¡±

    Jun Shiling felt that he could confiscate all the milk candy for the next month.

    Xia Wanyuan yed with Xiao Bao for a while. The grievance that Xiao Bao felt for his parents not bringing him out for dinner finally dissipated. He went upstairs to sleep happily.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and nced at Jun Shiling, who was typing on theputer with a dark expression. She couldn¡¯t help but tease him.

    ¡°Guess what Xiao Bao likes about you?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes. Under the light, they were warm and affectionate. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how much he likes me,¡± Jun Shiling said as he put down theputer in his hand, stood up, and sat beside Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan watched him approach. The cold pine fragrance that belonged to him alone lingered at the tip of her nose. Xia Wanyuan subconsciously tensed up.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes usually made people feel extremely cold when he looked at people indifferently. However, when he looked at someone seriously, it made people feel that his eyes were as deep and alluring as the gxy.

    ¡°I want to know something.¡± In consideration of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resistance from the previous few intimate actions, Jun Shiling did not do anything else. However, the aura around him wrapped tightly around Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise Jun Yin something just now?¡± A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°So, when do you n to give birth to a daughter for me?¡±

    From the moment Jun Shiling mentioned her promise to Jun Yin, Xia Wanyuan had a bad feeling.?<i>As expected¡­</i>

    She did not know if it was her imagination, but she had a feeling that Jun Shiling had been especially fond of teasing her recently.

    ¡°When did I say I wanted to give birth to a daughter for you?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heated up. ¡°I¡¯m not giving birth.¡±

    ¡°Okay, if you say so. I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice sounded above Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Why did these words sound so wrong?</i>?Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°So you¡¯re saying you want to give birth?¡± Jun Shiling finally could not hold back the smile in his eyes. It was only then that Xia Wanyuan understood that Jun Shiling was really teasing her.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know how to scold people. After thinking for a long time, she said to Jun Shiling,¡± You¡¯re too much. ¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled even more happily.

 Chapter 262 - Completely Fall Out

    <h4>Chapter 262: Completely Fall Out</h4>

    As the saying goes, a centipede does not stop wriggling even after death. Star Creation Entertainment had suffered a huge loss this time, and all its shareholders had suffered heavy losses.

    After dealing with CEO Wang and Xie Rou, the person that the shareholders who were most displeased with was Xia Wanyuan.

    After all, if not for Xia Wanyuan exposing this matter so directly, thepany wouldn¡¯t have suffered such a huge loss.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image in the past few years had been very bad. Thepany had solved countless negative news for her.

    However, even if she solved a pile of them, the pile that had been circted on the inte was still enough to turn everyone on the inte against Xia Wanyuan. Speaking of which, she was considered a ruthless person.

    This time, Star Creation Entertainment and Xia Wanyuan hadpletely fallen out, so those old matters were exposed by the major marketing ounts.

    News of Xia Wanyuan racingte at night, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nightclub partying, Xia Wanyuan buying fake reviewers to hype up her scandal with Bo Yi, Xia Wanyuan having a crush on Yan Ci, and so on were all over the ce.

    The Xia Wanyuan passionately dancing in the photo had a huge impact on everyone.

    [ Emmmm, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s character profile has indeed been a little good recently. I almost forgot how she used to be. ]

    [ You can¡¯t even sing or dance? Do female celebrities have to abide by these rules? ]

    [ Who cares about her singing and dancing? She just can¡¯t give herself to my idol, Yan Ci. ]

    [ It¡¯s also a real mystery. Say, Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful, can sing andpose, and seems to be quite cultured. Why must she stick to other male celebrities to hype things up? ]

    [ Then there¡¯s only one exnation. It means that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s character is really bad. Even if she¡¯s already so amazing, no one likes her. She has to rely on herself. ]

    Before theizens could finish eating, Wan Shi Studio had already posted another Weibo post.

    Wan Shi Studio: ¡°That¡¯s not necessary.¡±

    Under the simple six words, the pile of screenshots was not that simple.

    It was unknown where they had obtained the chat records and transfer records between Star Creation Entertainment and the major marketing ounts.

    ording to the number of fans on the marketing ount, the bids for every piece of gossip about Xia Wanyuan ranged from 2,000 to 100,000 dors.

    Now, even though some of the scandals were indeed done by the original owner of the body, when they saw how Star Creation Entertainment had spent so much money to spread the scandals about Xia Wanyuan, everyone had some doubts about these scandals.

    Everyone on the Inte was gossiping. Since Xia Wanyuan and Star Creation Entertainment had such an ugly scene, they should be terminating their contract soon. Furthermore, Star Creation Entertainment waspletely inhumane this time. They would probably have to pay Xia Wanyuan a hugepensation.

    However, the reality was different from what everyone had imagined.

    As an entertainmentpany, when signing a contract with an artist, the contents of the contract had an obvious overbearing use. Back then, Xia Wanyuan and Star Creation Entertainment had signed a ten-year contract, and all the uses were extremely unreasonable.

    Even though Star Creation Entertainment had caused such a mess this time, it was still as difficult as ascending to heaven to terminate the contract.

    Even if Star Creation Entertainment had clearly vited the contract, Star Creation Entertainment did not have to bear any responsibility for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s loss.

    And if Xia Wanyuan wanted to leave Star Creation Entertainment, she would have to pay an extremely high price.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin contacted thepany a few times and ended up parting unhappily.

    The current situation was that Xia Wanyuan wanted to leave thepany, but as long as Star Creation Entertainment did not relent, Xia Wanyuan could not.

 Chapter 263 - Alluring Dance

    <h4>Chapter 263: Alluring Dance</h4>

    ¡°Miss Tang, you can¡¯t me us for this. It¡¯s written in ck and white. This is the contract Xia Wanyuan signed herself back then.¡± CEO Liu of Star Creation Entertainment sat on the chair arrogantly and looked at Tang Yin in front of him.

    ¡°¡­¡± No matter how eloquent she was, Tang Yin could not say anything about this contract that was written in ck and white. She could only me Star Creation Entertainment for bullying Xia Wanyuan back then and deceiving her into signing this unfair contract.

    ording to this unfair contract, as long as Xia Wanyuan was still in thepany, all of her endorsements and promotions for film and television series would be 70% of thepany¡¯s.

    Xia Wanyuan received three parts while thepany received seven.

    After falling out, it was not Star Creation Entertainment that was panicking, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡±, Xia Wanyuan did not appear much. It was mainly because of Lin Xiao¡¯s righteousness. After their initial amazement at the Heavenly Spirit Princess, everyone was immersed in the love and hatred by Lin Xiao¡¯s side.

    It was already halfway through the drama, and his little sister had alsoe out of Cangyuan Mountain to meet her senior brother, Lin Xiao.

    In the original novel, the scenes of their rtionship were more detailed. Furthermore, the scenes of the two of them moving between countries to save the lives of the world were written more enthusiastically.

    In the blink of an eye, it was the end of spring again. Lin Xiao and Tian Ying¡¯er had returned to their homnd.

    At this moment, the world was already divided into feudal states. The one who upied Jiang Bei was the brave and skilled General Huo.

    Lin Xiao had been entrusted by the King of Jing Kingdom to discuss borrowing troops with General Huo Bing.

    General Huo Bing had set up a grand banquet to entertain this young talent and his junior sister.

    [ Wow, I¡¯ve seen the original novel. There¡¯s a surprise here! ]

    [ What surprise? What surprise? I want to hear it. ]

    [ Hehe, if you film it well, this will be a rather stunning scene. I¡¯m looking forward to it. ]

    [ Although I haven¡¯t seen the original novel, I feel that the person who can make you use the word ¡®amazing¡¯ should be that person!! ]

    Just like that, thements shed past. In the television drama, everyone drank and clinked sses, and the sound of bamboo pipes was loud.

    Gradually, the music stopped and the lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only the few lights in the middle of the hall lit. The guests discussed and even Lin Xiao and Tian Ying¡¯er, who were sitting in the VIP seats, looked puzzled.

    Suddenly, a clear sound of music sounded and Petal Shower began to float in the hall. A group of women in colorful clothes swung their sleeves and came. The sound of the music gradually became faster, and the movements of this group of women quickened.

    Suddenly, there was a burst of passionate music. Several dancers formed a circle and waved their jade hands. Dozens of pink ribbons gently flew out, and the hall seemed to be filled with pink waves.

    The waves surged and then gradually dispersed. In the middle of several dancers stood a stunning woman in a white dress. The cor of her dress was outlined with a few peonies with silver threads. A lifelike flower bud that was tapped with cinnabar between her brows showed her flower-like appearance.

    The dancer¡¯s jade-like hands were graceful and flowing, and her skirt fluttered. Her pair of watery eyes that were like smoke lingered on. Her dance posture was light and agile, and her body was as light as a swallow. Every step she took was like a lotus flower dancing. The butterflies that danced between the flowers brought everyone into this fantasy dream that she had woven with her dance steps.

    The camera kept giving close-ups. The golden eyeliner that extended from the corners of her eyes made her phoenix eyes look even more alluring. When she looked back, it made one¡¯s heart melt.

    In the drama, everyone watched until they forgot to eat. Outside the drama, everyone watched until they forgot to post thements.

 Chapter 264 - Master Jun Acquires Star Creation Entertainment

    <h4>Chapter 264: Master Jun Acquires Star Creation Entertainment</h4>

    It was only when the dance ended and the stunning dancer sat beside General Huo Bing that everyone reacted.

    [ Oh my god, she¡¯s too beautiful. She¡¯s so beautiful that I can¡¯t breathe. Xia Wanyuan is using her beauty to kill again. ]

    [ I haven¡¯t seen the Heavenly Spirit Princess in a long time. Why has she be a dancer? ]

    [ Because she wants to take revenge, and the person with the heavy troops is this General Huo. In order to obtain intelligence, Shen Pei can only surrender herself to this general. ]

    [ I think the scene changed just now. She didn¡¯t take a few photos of the dance moves and faces like the other actors who danced with stunt doubles. It seems to have always been a very coherent scene. Could Xia Wanyuan have danced this dance herself? ]

    [ The person in front, when I saw yourments, I specially adjusted them back and carefully scrolled through them frame by frame. Then, the conclusion I came to was: It seems like Xia Wanyuan really danced herself!!! ]

    [ This woman is amazing. I think I¡¯m going to fall in love with her. She knows how to memorize poems,pose lyrics, and dance. Amazing. Is there anything she doesn¡¯t know? ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dance created a sea ofments, densely blocking all the cameras. Everyone could only choose to close thements.

    Then, they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes filled with surprise, inferiority, restraint, envy, and despair when she saw Lin Xiao and Tian Ying¡¯er.

    Even though Shen Pei¡¯s eyes did not turn red in the camera, the aura of despair and sorrow that lingered around her seemed to cross the screen and infect everyone in front of the drama.

    It was as if everyone had been brought into that confrontational banquet. From Xia Wanyuan¡¯s point of view, she could see the ulterior motives and the luxurious chaos at the banquet.

    The scene changed. Tian Ying Er had identally attracted the guards in the house. Just as Lin Xiao and Tian Ying Er were stunned, Shen Pei, who had washed up, appeared.

    ¡°Why did you save us?¡±

    ¡°Just treat it as returning the young master¡¯s favor.¡± Under the faint moonlight, Shen Pei¡¯s eyes, which had been washed clean of lead, had a hint of watery light. Under the cover of the night, she looked almost greedily at the young knight in front of her who she had chanted for so many years but did not dare to approach.

    Shen Pei showed Lin Xiao the route to leave, then looked at him deeply before turning to leave.

    The camera followed Lin Xiao¡¯s gaze and watched as Shen Pei walked towards the light with an extremely noble posture.

    However, although she was walking towards the light, it made people feel that Princess Shen Pei had truly buried herself in the darkness.

    This silent scene did not have any hoarse voices or intense lines, but Shen Pei¡¯s deliberate royal footsteps made one¡¯s nose ache.

    It was as if a mountain had pressed down on everyone¡¯s hearts, making them feel extremely suppressed. They hurriedly opened thements to seekfort.

    [ I¡¯m crying so loudly. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. The former little princess has be like this now. Even the male lead didn¡¯t recognize her. This enchanting and charming dancer is that innocent little princess who amazed you back then! ]

    [ I watch it as I cry. What¡¯s with Shen Pei¡¯s gaze as she looks at Lin Xiao? She¡¯s so affectionate and inferior. That was the little princess who used to be the most doted on by the royal family. Oh my god, what did she experience to make her look so inferior? ]

    [ Shen Pei, who is pure and beautiful after washing the lead, is really beautiful. However, this girl ispletely different from the girl in the light market a few years ago. At that time, she was like a fresh lotus that had just sprouted, pure and moving. The current her is like a cold plum that has experienced countless storms and snow. It makes one¡¯s heart ache, but it also makes one¡¯s heart ache. ]

    [ The sister in front, are you a literary giant?? You know how to praise too well, right? Tsinghua University or Peking University, choose for yourself. ]

    [ 6666, I¡¯m uncultured. I just want to say that it¡¯s awesome! ]

    [ The deliberate royal footsteps make me want to cry. This is herst pride and arrogance. Sigh, my heart aches. I suddenly feel that Lin Xiao, please take the little princess away. ]

    [ The person in front, secretly p. Hehe, I¡¯ve been eating this pair of CP for a long time. Redemption is really good. ]

    As expected, every time the Heavenly Spirit Princess appeared, she would cause a new round of drama discussions.

    In the beginning, everyone was supporting Lin Xiao and his sister. However, Ruan Yingyu¡¯s little sister¡¯s response could only be said to be average. Every time Xia Wanyuan appeared, she would add arge number of fans who stood between the male and second female lead.

    In the eyes of the audience, Xia Wanyuan was the female lead of this drama. Even when they were watching the drama, everyone subconsciously ignored Ruan Yingyu¡¯s scenes.

    Normally, Ruan Yingyu and her managementpany would definitely explode because of this poprity. But now, Ruan Yingyu was involved in a drug storm. In order to draw the line with her, her managementpany had already terminated the contract with her. No one was willing to pay attention to Ruan Yingyu¡¯s situation.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    It was another negotiation that was obvious that there was no oue.

    Tang Yin sat in front of the negotiation table and looked at the contract document in front of her with a slight headache.

    Through her previous connections, Tang Yin had found manywyer friends to help find a breakthrough in the contract with Star Creation Entertainment.

    In the end, Tang Yin handed the contract to thewyers of the Jun Corporation. The result was the same. ¡°The contract is fine.¡±

    This time, Tang Yin waspletely helpless. The contract was written in ck and white. If she wanted to terminate the contract, she had to negotiate with Star Creation Entertainment.

    CEO Liu of Star Creation Entertainment knew that he had the advantage. The conditions proposed every time were extremely harsh, and every one of them was something that Tang Yin and the rest could not ept.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t ept it. I¡¯m very sorry, but Xia Wanyuan can only stay in our Star Creation Entertainment Company forever.¡± CEO Liu said that he was sorry, but his eyes clearly shed with smugness. Just because of Xia Wanyuan and this Tang Yin, he had lost millions. Seeing them suffer, he was gloating in his heart.

    The outside world was also paying attention to the termination of Xia Wanyuan and Star Creation Entertainment. There were also somewyers who knew the industry well who exposed the use that Xia Wanyuan had signed that could be said to be the most domineering in the industry.

    Then, he circled some of the rules that were practically unteral bullying. And these bullying rules that had been marked were actually everywhere in the entire document.

    Everyone knew that the entertainment industry was a scam, but it was rare to see such an extent.

    Because of Shen Pei¡¯s crying scenes in the past few days, everyone had been extremely doting on Xia Wanyuan. When they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, they would imagine her walking along the corridor with tears in her eyes.

    Looking at this clearly bullying use, even if it was not Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, they also dered their support for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s termination of the contract with thepany.

    But everyone also knew that a treaty written in ck and white could not be changed. They could not shake anything either, so they could only support Xia Wanyuan with words.

    However, the next day, there was important news in the business world.

    The Jun Corporation, which had never been involved in the film industry, had actually bought over the entire Star Creation Entertainment Company.

    It caused turmoil and endless spection in the industry.

    It was no exaggeration to say that every move by the Jun Corporation represented a change in the country and even the world.

    Within a day, there were thousands of analytical papers targeting the Jun Corporation¡¯s motive, actions, and goals for acquiring Star Creation Entertainment.

 Chapter 265 - Cui Junyong

    <h4>Chapter 265: Cui Junyong</h4>

    The Jun Corporation mainly focused on industry and high quality industries. In Old Master Jun¡¯s hands, it rarely involved the film industry.

    When Jun Shiling took over, he ced his attention on the technology industry. Even though the entertainment industry had made huge profits in recent years, Jun Shiling had never ced his attention on it.

    Because every move of the Jun Corporation represented the direction of the industry in the future, everyone guessed that the country was about tounch a new policy to support the entertainment industry.

    There were even arge number of people who began to follow the trend and buy stocks in the film industry. Somepanies also followed the Jun Corporation and bought some small entertainmentpanies, wanting to have a share of the profits with the Jun Corporation.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin knew that Star Creation Entertainment had been bought over by the Jun Corporation and looked at each other. ¡°I¡¯m afraid CEO Jun didn¡¯t acquire Star Creation Entertainment directly for Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Since thepany had already been acquired, the artistes and their contracts under thepany¡¯s jurisdiction should be transferred to the Jun Corporation.

    Seeing that Star Creation Entertainment was about to die, thepany¡¯s artistes, who were about to run away, hurriedly rushed back to thepany overnight with their bags after seeing that thepany had been bought over by the Jun Corporation.?<i>What a joke. This was a thigh they could not run away from.</i>

    Those celebrities who had already run away in all sorts of ways felt regretful.

    After changing the management and changing the contract, Tang Yin and Chen Yun finally heaved a sigh of relief. They did not have to worry that Xia Wanyuan would be implicated by that strange contract.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan also learned of this news.

    ¡°It was just convenient. The corporation had wanted to enter the film industry for a long time, but we never had the chance. Coincidentally, Star Creation Entertainment had a problem, so I could help you resolve it. It¡¯s the best of both worlds.¡±

    Whenever Jun Shiling spoke seriously, no one could doubt the authenticity of his words.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to have any special privileges.¡± After all, it didn¡¯t feel good to be pointed at wherever one went.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t interfere with thepany¡¯s daily operations.¡± Jun Shiling had always kept his word. Since he said he wouldn¡¯t interfere, then he wouldn¡¯t interfere. Only then was Xia Wanyuan relieved.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Recently, Hays havee knocking again. They want Wanyuan to promote them again.¡±

    It was noon. Chen Yun and Tang Yin walked out side by side. As they discussed work, they wanted to find a ce to eat lunch.

    ¡°I heard from an internal friend that Hays might have the intention of making Wanyuan the spokesperson. This promotion is just a test run to test her ability to market goods.¡±

    ¡°Then¡­¡± Tang Yin was thinking about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s endorsement, so she did not notice a ck sports car suddenly rush out from the corner of the road. Chen Yun hurriedly reached out and pulled Tang Yin to the side.

    ¡°How did that person drive?¡± Chen Yun could not help but shout at the car. He did not expect the car window to slowly roll down, revealing a beautiful face that had been maintained extremely well.

    This beautiful woman nced at Chen Yun¡¯s hand that was holding Tang Yin¡¯s, then sized up Chen Yun¡¯s clothes from top to bottom, then looked at the clothes on Tang Yin and smiled extremely disdainfully.

    ¡°Long time no see, Big Manager Tang. It looks like you¡¯re doing pretty well.¡±

    ¡°Not bad. I didn¡¯t be a mistress or climb into other people¡¯s beds. Not bad.¡± After six years, Tang Yin saw this face that evoked endless memories once again. Her eyes were in a daze, but she quickly calmed down.

    ¡°You! You have a sharp tongue!¡± Shi Tian looked at Tang Yin angrily, as if she was angered by her words. However, she could not find any suitable words to say to her, which angered her. ¡°What¡¯s there to be arrogant about? Do you really think you¡¯re still that gold medal manager from before?¡±

    ¡°Whether I am or not has nothing to do with you. You should go back and guard Liu Xingchuan properly.¡± Tang Yin clenched her fists and barely maintained the calmness on her face. Then, she looked at Chen Yun. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Back then, the matter of Tang Yin withdrawing from the industry had caused an uproar, and Chen Yun had naturally heard of it. At that time, many people had said that Tang Yin was the mistress of Shi Tian and Liu Xingchuan.

    Chen Yun secretly nced at Tang Yin, who had a cold expression. It seemed that the truth was not what everyone had imagined.

    Watching Chen Yun and Tang Yin leave, Shi Tian clenched the phone in her hand angrily.

    <i>Why? Why did Liu Xingchuan still not forget Tang Yin even after I had been married to him for so many years?!!!</i>

    <i>Didn¡¯t she say she was going to leave the industry and never appear again? How can shee back whenever she wants?</i>

    <i>You want to be your gold-medal manager again? Dream on!</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Ever since ancient times, China had been an extremely gorgeous country in East Asia. The surrounding countries had been deeply influenced by China¡¯s culture, especially Han and Cherry Blossoms.

    The country of Han had been a country of China in history, and it was also the country of barbarians recorded in history.

    This country was notrge, but the mentality of the entire country and the people were extremely arrogant.

    They kept taking things that belonged to China for themselves.

    Over the years, China had always taken some of China¡¯s brilliant culture and traditional skills for itself. It shamelessly took them to the internationalmunity and publicized that they were all its own.

    China had always been a mysterious country in the internationalmunity. Due to cultural barriers, the western countries did not know much about this country that had risen in recent years.

    Meanwhile, Han Country, which was very close to the Western internationalmunity, was especially active internationally.

    Over the years, the Han Country had always said that the various cultural treasures that belonged to China had been passed down from their country. Many people in the internationalmunity still believed it.

    The Chinese people hated the shameless behavior of Han Country. There was even arge-scale public opinion denouncementst year.

    Due to the surging public opinion, the Han Country had restrained itself for the past two years. The rtionship between the two countries had improved slightly, and the Han Country had started to cause trouble again in the past two days.

    The cause of the incident was that an artist named Cui Junyong from Han Country was a very famous ink painter in the country.

    Ink painting originated in China, which was recognized in the industry. Furthermore, China was also a master painter of ink painting.

    Cui Junyong often went to China to gather wind. There was once when he lost his way and entered a house in the mountains to hunt. Coincidentally, the ancestor of this hunting family had a rtively famous painter at that time. Unfortunately, his descendants gradually declined.

    In the hands of the hunters, Cui Junyong bought a wooden carving book that recorded many painting skills at a low price. After returning to Han Country, he practiced it diligently. What surprised him was that this wooden carving book recorded many ancient techniques that had been lost in the ink painting world for a long time.

    Cui Junyong was greatly weed in the industry by using these methods.

 Chapter 266 - Netizens of the Two Countries Fight

    <h4>Chapter 266: Netizens of the Two Countries Fight</h4>

    Since ancient times, the people of Han had a very narrow mindset towards China.

    Cui Junyong was popr because of those ancient painting skills. When people asked him where his painting skills were from, Cui Junyong never said that he had learned them from China.

    Instead, he said that this was a painting method created by his ancestors. Then, his ancestors passed away and left these precious legacies to their descendants. In this way, he had the background of a painting family.

    And those painting skills that one had never heard or seen in the world of calligraphy and painting in the past had made him famous in Han Country.

    Information between China and Han Country was not transmitted smoothly, let alone a painter. The Chinese did not pay much attention to him. What attracted Cui Yongjun¡¯s attention was a conversation he had had with a reporter at the art exhibition.

    At that time, a Chinese reporter felt that Cui Yongjun¡¯s painting was somewhat simr to the style of an ancient painting master in China, so he casually asked.

    ¡°Your painting style is a little simr to that of a master in China. Have you learned some of his painting skills?¡±

    It was a very normal question, but Cui Yongjun had a guilty conscience. He felt extremely guilty after being asked this question, but he pretended to be very arrogant.

    ¡°Tsk, China? These paintings were created by my ancestors. Does China know any of these painting techniques? Me learning from China? Who knows if China is the origin of ink painting? ording to me, many of China¡¯s painting techniques were learned from our country.¡±

    This statement was sent back to China by Chinese reporters. After the news media reported it, it immediately caused a hugemotion.

    Amongst the four ancient civilizations, China was the country without a stop in their heritage. After five thousand years of glorious Chinese culture, the Chinese had always been proud of it.

    Cui Yongjun¡¯s words aroused public anger.

    [ F*ck!! Where did this Tom, Dick, or Harrye from? What nonsense are you talking about? Does my magnificent China need to learn things from your barbard? ]

    [ It¡¯s Country Han¡¯s old profession. After all, what they¡¯re best at is stealing things and ming others. Urgh. ]

    [ I¡¯m so angry. As expected, he¡¯s a purebred Han Guo. Hasn¡¯t this lousy country always used our cultural skills to apply for the non-material cultural heritage of the world??? Is this another scam? ]

    [ How dare you brag about the ink painting in Country Han?? Don¡¯t you care about our country¡¯s thousands of years of history?? That tone made meugh. ]

    [ I didn¡¯t watch the video. I knew that it must be something the people of the Han Country did. As expected, I clicked on thements and guessed right. ]

    Manyizens spontaneously climbed over the wall to Han Country¡¯s social media app and found Cui Yongjun¡¯s social media ount, leaving messages to demand an apology from him.

    Theizens of Han Country had never been on good terms with the Chineseizens. Half a year ago,izens of the two countries had a huge fight over the ck whistle incident of the judge of Han Country and had quarreled on socialworks.

    Before the old hatred subsided, new hatred arose.

    The Chineseizens had experience this time and gathered in advance. They were worried that the Country Hanizens could not understand Chinese, so the Chineseizens even considerately wrote Korean on their emoticons.

    There was only one motive for all sorts of denouncements. They wanted Cui Yongjun to apologize for his frivolous words.

    On the other hand, theizens of Han Country felt that there was nothing wrong with what their artist said. Many of the techniques were originally created by Cui Yongjun. Although he was a little arrogant when he said this, his words were crude but his reason was not wrong, so they stood beside Cui Yongjun and spoke for him.

    As the country with thergest poption in the world, China could crush anything with its poption.

    Just like thisizen war, because of the restrictions of the VPN, only a small number of Chineseizens climbed out of the wall to fight with theizens of Han Country. However, this small number already had extremely strongbat power.

    Theizens of the Han Country could not win against them. Cui Yongjun¡¯sments section was gradually upied by the Chineseizens. They were all asking Cui Yongjun to apologize.

    At that moment, some painters who had a good rtionship with Cui Yongjun from Han Country stood up.

    @ Han Zhiyu: ¡°Chineseizens, don¡¯t rely on the number of people you have to distort the truth. Cui Yongjun¡¯s painting skills have many ways that your China doesn¡¯t have. Take the three-dimensional ink painting method for example. In your historical records, such a painting method was recorded, but in China¡¯s historical paintings, there has never been such a painting. It was Cui Yongjun who reproduced this painting method. You should apologize to him because of your rude behavior.¡±

    Han Zhiyu¡¯s words were like a g that instantly united the hearts of theizens of Han Country. Everyone was excited again.

    [ You guys said that Han Country learned from China, then do you have such a painting? ]

    [ That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. You keep saying that we¡¯re learning from you, but you can¡¯t even produce such a painting. How can you have the cheek to climb over the wall and make a fool of yourself? ]

    [ Oh, China calls itself a big country in the China Dynasty every day. So the big country in the China Dynasty relies on its long history to snatch everything and pretend its their own? ]

    [ Get out of Han Country¡¯s social media. The Chineseizens must apologize to us! ]

    The originally valiant and spirited Chineseizens were in the wrong now. Everyone withdrew from Country Han¡¯s social media and returned to China to investigate.

    For example, the effects of the three-dimensionalndscape painting in Cui Yongjun¡¯s painting had been recorded in China¡¯s history. This was a painting technique called ¡°Light Mist¡±.

    Ink painting was particr about painting with ink. The color was very simple. In traditional Chinese painting, most of the colors were ck and white.

    Because the colors were single, the painters did not pay much attention to the level of the images. Instead, they focused on the meaning.

    On the contrary, the Light Error Art drew a single ink-ck picture through the skilled painter and the deep changes in the ink. It drew the three-dimensional feeling in modern painting techniques.

    This technique had disappeared throughout the long history. After checking the information, theizens realized that Cui Yongjun really knew such a lost technique.

    The ancient books that recorded such painting techniques had been recorded much earlier than the ancestors Cui Yongjun had mentioned. Theizens knew that Cui Yongjun must have learned Chinese art from somewhere and imed it for his own.

    However, no one had evidence and they could not do anything to him.

    Seeing the Chineseizens run away with their tails between their legs, the news media in Han Nation became even more arrogant. They grabbed this matter and publicly proimed that Cui Yongjun was a national painter in an ink painting.

    Furthermore, Country Han began to do its usual job. They began to prepare all sorts of procedures, wanting to apply for protection for Country Han¡¯s cultural heritage and Cui Yongjun¡¯s various painting skills.

    With this application, if anyone mentioned this art in the future, they would associate it with Cui Yongjun and Country Han.

    Theizens in the country were furious, but there was nothing they could do. Even in the Painter Association, there was no painter who knew such a lost technique. The world was filled with joy abroad, and the world of painting and calligraphy in the country was shrouded in worry.

 Chapter 268 - Xia Wanyuan Painted

    <h4>Chapter 268: Xia Wanyuan Painted</h4>

    Just as everyone was disgusted by Cui Yongjun¡¯s matter but could do nothing about it, someone from the Painter Association suddenly suggested that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting, which had risen abruptly but was also very mysterious, had many ancient techniques.

    <i>Perhaps she would know these lost painting skills?</i>

    It was only then that everyone remembered Yuan Wanxia. Speaking of this person, everyone felt that it was strange. His painting value had risen too quickly while he himself had kept a low profile.

    Until now, other than his painting and the name Yuan Wanxia, no one knew anything else.

    Hence, the president could only look for Professor Zhang and see if he could help contact Yuan Wanxia. Although at their age, they did not care about reputation anymore, it still felt aggrieved to be scolded by the painting and calligraphy world in Country Han.

    When Professor Zhang called the manor, Xia Wanyuan was lying on the swing reading a book. After hearing Professor Zhang exin the situation, a hint of anger surged in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave this to you, Xiao Xia. That Light Error Art has been lost for too long. I wonder where Cui Yongjun learned this technique.¡± Professor Zhang, who had always been easygoing, gritted his teeth when he spoke of Cui Yongjun.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I know how to draw it. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll send it to you tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan was originally a little surprised that Professor Zhang would suddenly look for her in such a hurry. After hearing what had happened from Professor Zhang, Xia Wanyuan calmed down.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan searched for Cui Yongjun¡¯s painting online. When she saw the painting drawn by the so-called Master Han, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

    <i>Could such a painting be famous??</i>

    In her teacher¡¯s eyes in her previous life, this painting would stain the stove even if it was burned.

    As for the ¡®wrong light¡¯ painting method, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was even more simple. In her previous life, this could only be considered a basic painting technique. She did not know how in the modern world this technique had be so popr.

    Since she had agreed to Professor Zhang, Xia Wanyuan immediately went to look for Uncle Wang and asked him to prepare the brush, ink, and paper.

    Since she was going to show the paintings in front of theizens of the two countries, Xia Wanyuan drew even more meticulously this time. It took four hours before she finished painting one. When she looked up again, the sky was already dark.

    Jun Shiling strode into the main building. Before he could speak, Uncle Wang pointed the way for him. ¡°Madam is painting in the study.¡±

    When Jun Shiling walked to the study door, he smelled a faint ink fragrance.

    Xia Wanyuan looked like she had finished painting. There was a Xuan paper on the table that was covered in ink. Xia Wanyuan sat by the side.

    ¡°Why did you think of painting today?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and took a look, his eyes shining with admiration. ¡°Good painting.¡±

    ¡°I have to do Professor Zhang a small favor.¡± Xia Wanyuan massaged her temples. She had been focusing on painting for four hours consecutively, and her neck and arms were a little sore.

    Jun Shiling took off his suit jacket and walked behind Xia Wanyuan, naturally massaging her shoulders.

    ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice fell into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears, causing her to be stunned for a moment.

    In her previous life, she had drawn so many paintings. There were teachers who scolded her for her poor painting, friends who praised her for her improvement, and parents and rtives who were proud of her.

    However, Jun Shiling was the first person to think that it was hard on her.

    Jun Shiling controlled his strength very well. After a while, Xia Wanyuan felt that the soreness on her body had reduced by a lot.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling from continuing to massage her. She stood up and pointed at a chair. ¡°Sit here.¡±

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t know what Xia Wanyuan wanted to do, but he still followed her actions and sat down.

    The pressure on his shoulders made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart soften, and the warmth in his eyes almost overflowed.

    Xia Wanyuan had just started when Jun Shiling stood up.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not tired. You must be tired after painting for so long. Rest and prepare for dinner.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. There was amotion downstairs. Thinking that Xiao Bao was back, Xia Wanyuan got up and went downstairs.

    As he watched Xia Wanyuan leave slowly, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with gentleness. It was as if arge, as it wrapped around Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>How could she be so good? So good that when I thought about how if I didn¡¯t have her in the future, I would feel that the entire world would lose its brilliance.</i>

    At the dining table today, Jun Shiling was helping Xia Wanyuan with the food as usual, but Xiao Bao seemed unusually active.

    ¡°Wow, Mommy, Daddy brought you meat. Daddy treats you so well!¡±

    ¡°Wow, Daddy is putting prawns in Mommy¡¯s bowl. Daddy really cares about Mommy!¡±

    ¡°Daddy brought Mommy water! Daddy is so considerate!¡±

    ¡­¡­.

    ¡­¡­.

    Xia Wanyuan originally did not think much of it, but she was a little embarrassed by Xiao Bao¡¯s gasps and exims.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, who widened his eyes and looked at Jun Shiling expectantly. His eyes were filled with anticipation.?<i>¡®Daddy, look at how amazing I am! I¡¯ve been praising you. You must work hard and help me give birth to a sister as soon as possible!¡¯</i>

    ¡°Eat properly,¡± Jun Shiling replied heartlessly.

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao, who did not receive any praise, was unhappy.

    ¡°Daddy, Mommy wants to lose weight. Why did you put so much meat in her bowl?¡±

    ¡°Daddy, Mommy likes to drink milk. Why did you pour her warm water?¡±

    ¡°Daddy, you¡­¡±

    As Xiao Bao chewed on his favorite pork ribs, he could also spare some space to pick on Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on the chopsticks tightened, and he had the urge to beat up the smaller version of himself.

    Xia Wanyuan was smiling from the side. Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was gloating, and picked up another piece of pork with his chopsticks. He then turned to Xiao Bao and said,

    ¡°Why should she lose weight? If she doesn¡¯t take good care of herself, how is she going to give birth to a beautiful and cute sister for you?¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes suddenly widened.?<i>Daddy makes sense!!!</i>

    Xiao Bao immediately imitated Jun Shiling and picked up a piece of meat from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl. ¡°Mommy, eat more!!! All the best!!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who had been gloating, became the focus of the conflict. She nced reproachfully at Jun Shiling, who was sitting in front of her.

    There was a flirtatious and delicate look in her eyes that she did not realize at all, causing Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing to stagnate.

    After a day, seeing that no one from China came out, the people from Country Han became more confident and spoke even more arrogantly.

    ¡°It looks like China doesn¡¯t deserve its name. What civilized ancient country? It has a long history and doesn¡¯t even know a small Light technique. Howughable.¡±

 Chapter 269 - Slapping Face

    <h4>Chapter 269: pping Face</h4>

    Compared to China, the media in Han Country had a much greater say in the internationalmunity. After their media hype, even many people in other countries knew about this.

    Cui Yongjun had already submitted his cultural heritage application. It was clearly a Chinese technique, but now, it was going to be someone else¡¯s representative. Everyone saw this and were anxious.

    At this moment, an ount named ¡°Yuan Wanxia¡± whose Weibo ount had been certified as a famous painter was opened with the help of Professor Zhang. Because the people of Han did not use Chinese social media, an ount named ¡°Wanxia _ Jade¡± was also opened on the Fins Network abroad.

    Then, as theizens of the two countries were fighting more and more intensely, this ount on Weibo updated with a new dynamic message.

    Professor Zhang took the lead in reposting this dynamic message. Old Master Zhong was also very popr on the Inte, so he reposted this dynamic and added, ¡°This is the real Light Error painting method.¡±

    Over the past two days, everyone had been very sensitive to the words ¡°Light Error¡±. When they saw Elder Zhong mention this, they hurriedly clicked on it.

    In the video, only the tip of a brush and a piece of paper could be seen.

    The brush was dipped in ink and sprinkled on the paper.

    Even though no one could see what the person who drew was like, from the unrestrained flow of ink on the paper, everyone could imagine how indifferent and leisurely the person who drew was.

    Yuan Wanxia used ink, using a slightly scorched ink to be light and dyed it exquisitely. Sometimes it was deep and sometimes it was light. When it was dry, it turned dizzy. The ink was as gentle as the spring breeze and as strong as a waterfall. It had both the technique of dye and the ink sshing technique. Everything had the charm of ink.

    The depth and color of the ink changed naturally and surpassed nature. It was just right and the quality went deep into the marrow.

    Following the tip of the brush, everyone watched the painting seriously. As it was an edited video, under the camera at the back, a magnificentndscape painting quickly appeared in front of everyone.

    Although everyone did not know professional painting skills, they felt that the color of Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting was a little awkward when they looked at it.?<i>¡®Did you not know the ratio of the paint?¡¯</i>

    Not onlyizens from China had this doubt, many people in Han Country who followed the video had already begun to mock him halfway through the video.

    [ I thought he was amazing. He made it like that. ]

    [ Haha, even a dabbler like me can tell that there¡¯s a problem with the color. Is this the standard of Chinese painters?? Howughable. ]

    [ I can only say that it¡¯s embarrassing. ]

    [ Chinese, can you get out of the Facebook page??? Can you get back to your Weibo? The Facebook doesn¡¯t wee you! ]

    Although the Chineseizens were very guilty, how could they allow people from other countries to scold their own country¡¯s painter? They immediately picked up the keyboard and wanted to argue with the other party.

    At that moment, the video that had stopped writing suddenly sshed out a patch of red ink.

    <i>Is he trying to destroy the painting because he didn¡¯t draw it well??</i>

    Everyone watched the video curiously.

    Then, they saw that the patch of redness hadnded on the upper right corner of the paper. It was in a neat circle, and it was actually the morning sun that had crawled out of the mountain.

    It was like a finishing stroke. With this morning sun that had a hint of redness, the colors of the entire painting became lively.

    It was only then that everyone understood that it was not the paint that was wrong with the author¡¯s adjustment, but that the author¡¯s light shadow technique was used especially well.

    Through the changes in the depth of the ink and the use of brightness and darkness, thisndscape gave people an extremely three-dimensional feeling. Even in the camera, everyone felt as if they were standing in front of this mountain range and looking at the mountains in front of them.

    Even those who did not know much about painting could tell which was better between Cui Yongjun¡¯s painting and Yuan Wanxia¡¯s.

    [ Hahahahahaha, that¡¯s enough. I finally feel better. ]

    [ Yuan Wanxia is amazing!!! I dere that from now on, I¡¯m your fan!! ]

    [ As expected, you¡¯re a master who sold a painting for a high price of ten million dors. Yes, I can unterally thank you for your ability. ]

    [ Wow, this p in the face makes me feel good. My head hurts from watching those idiots jump around these two days. Just that trash Cui Yongjun dares toe out and talk nonsense about whatever he drew. The real master has to be in China! ]

    [ The video has aroused strongfort. I suggest you watch it repeatedly. ]

    Because this matter was very popr, once Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo post was released, regardless of whether it was people in the industry or outsiders, everyone followed and reposted Yuan Wanxia¡¯s post. In just two hours, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount had broken through the million fans threshold and the number of fans was still rising.

    Netizens abroad had also finished reading Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting. Other than most people who had always supported Cui Yongjun, everyone was very interested in this magical painting technique.

    [ Han People, please show us what too much arrogance is. ]

    [ Come, Han people,e out. I heard that you guys aren¡¯t convinced? I heard that Cui Yongjun, who drew that kind of trash painting, is your Artist?? So this is the standard of Country Han. ]

    [ I¡¯m from the cherry blossom country. I want to say that Country Han has always been a country of thieves. In the East Asian country, the one I hate the most is Country Han. Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting is very good. I like it. ]

    [ As expected, there¡¯s a saying that goes like this. China and peach blossoms are on good terms. This brother from Yinghua Country in front, you even know how to say like in Chinese?? Your Chinese standard is very good. ]

    [ Thank you, thank you. It¡¯s mainly because my girlfriend taught me well. My girlfriend is from China and has always taught me Chinese. If I don¡¯t learn it well, she will beat my chest with a small circle. ]

    [??????????? F*ck, I¡¯m being fed dog food just by watching a multinational Chinese painting video???? Can this world be more cruel to single dogs? ]

    The war between theizens of Han and China had originally attracted many people from other countries.

    Everyone had originallye to watch themotion. After all, the fact that they liked to watch themotion was amon trait of all humans. It had nothing to do with their skin color and nationality.

    The foreignizens had always heard in the news that there was such an ancient Asian country with a few thousand years of history. In fact, they did not know much about China.

    All they remembered was that the people in this country rode pandas on the streets. Everyone had kung fu and they ate Kung Pao chicken every day.

    This was the first time many people had treated a Chinese painter seriously.

    Initially, no one was interested in the pile of ink. There was not even any color. What could he draw? Slowly, everyone saw that even monotonous colors could be so rich.

    It turned out that Chinese paintings had such a high beauty. Many foreigners were stunned by the mountains and rivers disyed in the video.

    Hence, after watching a video, the ount ¡°Wanxia _ Jade¡± actually had nearly ten thousand fans on the ount of Fins.

 Chapter 270 - The Mysterious Dynasty

    <h4>Chapter 270: The Mysterious Dynasty</h4>

    No matter how arrogant the people of the Han Country were, they could not spout nonsense in front of so many people. After all, the standard of the painting was obvious.

    If theizens of China were to be serious, they could be called modern Sherlock Holmes.

    From Cui Yongjun¡¯s family history, theizens followed the clues and found out that this person had once gathered inspiration from the countryside in China. A very dedicatedizen ran to the countryside to specially visit the family he had gone to back then.

    As expected, he asked the truth. Back then, Cui Yongjun had bought the priceless wooden engraving book with 200 dors, making the Chineseizens curse him for being shameless.

    Just as the bystanders were about to leave the vige, they were told by the vigers that the wooden carving book was picked up from the mountains behind the vige by hunters when they were hunting. There were many pieces of rotten wood like this in the mountains.

    !!!!!!!!

    Theizens could not be bothered to watch anymore and hurriedly reported the clues to the local archaeology department.

    No one had expected that this farce would raise the veil of a mysterious dynasty that had never been understood by anyone.

    Of course, that was forter.

    At that moment, theizens were busy watching Cui Yongjun¡¯s drama. Once they dug, they were shocked. Everyone realized that this person had giarized. From the moment he debuted, his painting had been copied from a Chinese painter.

    He used the fact that information was not circting well between the two countries to wantonly apply the elements of other people¡¯s works to his paintings.

    Not only did he copy Chinese paintings, but he also copied the paintings of painters in Han Country. Other people had exercised rights for many years, but because Cui Yongjun had be famous, the original owner of the painting had never seeded in exercising rights.

    The Chineseizens watched themotion and dug up his dark historyyer byyer. They dug up things like tax evasion, copying other people¡¯s works, and cheating during exams when he was in school.

    Due to the fact that there was too much information, the Chineseizens even considerately packed a whole document and posted it on Han Country¡¯s social media for them to retrieve.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee, Simida [1. Thank you in Korean is ¡®Kamsahamida¡¯, so the ¡®simida¡¯ is to mock the Koreans and to make thement more Korean-like so theizens can understand]¡­¡±

    Although theizens of Han Nation said that no one needed to worry about their country, their bodies were still very honest. The download volume of that document was as high as 100,000.

    Originally, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s name had attracted some attention due to the high price of the previous auction. However, that was only within a small range. This time, many people recognized this mysterious and powerful big shot.

    Many people wanted to investigate this big shot¡¯s identity, but they could not find any traces of this person.

    However, to people in the art world, works were everything. Not only was being mysterious not a bad thing, but it also made everyone more curious about this person. Even his works had a hint of mystery.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Ever since Xia Yuanqing transferred his shares, he had been waiting at home for Xia Wanyuan to beg him to go back and take over thepany.

    After all, he knew very well how bad the Xia family¡¯s financial chain was back then. The Xia family¡¯spany had suffered a lot of debts over the years. The sudden loss of funds and the series of problems would make him, who knew thepany like the back of his hand, feel exhausted, let alone the two people who did not know thepany¡¯s situation.

    Furthermore, he had been the chairman for so many years. Many of the people in thepany were his trusted aides. Now that a new leader had suddenly changed, many people were secretly fighting against the new management.

    However, what Xia Yuanqing did not expect was that Xia Wanyuan did not look for him after so long.

 Chapter 271 - Master Juns Business Trip

    <h4>Chapter 271: Master Jun¡¯s Business Trip</h4>

    Some of those former trusted aides had been directly incited by Xia Wanyuan to defect, and some had been directly removed by Xia Wanyuan because they refused to cooperate.

    Those people self-proimed to be veterans, but Xia Wanyuan did not care how good their rtionship with Father Xia was. As long as there was someone with ill intentions, Xia Wanyuan would directly rece them.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not fall for their tricks, these people, who had relied on their experience and benefits for many years in thepany, softened their attitude to reason with Xia Wanyuan and talk about feelings.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was not a person who was easy to talk to. She was direct and firm. ¡°Leave immediately.¡±

    Only then did these elders find Father Xia, but Father Xia could not control Xia Wanyuan anymore. These people regretted it, but it was toote.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Shen Qian had gradually brought thepany back on track, Father Xia was even more anxious at home. The child sleeping on the baby bed not far away seemed to be disturbed by Father Xia¡¯s anxiety. He opened his mouth and started crying loudly.

    ¡°Yuanyuan, the child is crying.¡±

    Father Xia called out, but no one responded.

    ¡°Madam is out and not at home.¡± The nanny walked up and picked the child up, gently coaxing him. However, the child was notforted by his mother and kept crying.

    Xia Yuanqing was annoyed by what he heard. He pushed open the door and left the room. In the past few days, he had finally seen through the nature of Han Yuan, this woman, who usually hid behind her sweet mouth. His mood immediately worsened, and he could not be bothered with that newborn child.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Do you like this?¡± Han Yuan, who had told Xia Yuanqing that she was going out for a meal with her best friend in the morning, was sitting at the dining table.

    However, opposite her was not her best friend, but a middle-aged man who was slightly older than Xia Yuanqing.

    ¡°I like it.¡± Han Yuan nodded shyly. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the jewelry in the box. Xia Yuanqing had never bought her such a big piece of jewelry.

    ¡°This is for you.¡± The middle-aged man handed the jewelry box to Han Yuan.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll ept it. Thank you, CEO Bo.¡± Han Yuan happily epted the jewelry box.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. We¡¯re not strangers.¡±

    Looking at the watch in front of her that was worth the price of a vi, Han Yuan was shocked. When she was still a nurse, she had thought that someone like Father Xia was a very rich person.

    It was only now that she realized that there was someone even richer. Father Xia¡¯s money was nothing in front of CEO Bo.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Bo Xiao casually nced at the photos that had just been sent over and the corners of his lips curled up.?<i>He was really fast at changing women.</i>

    Just as he was about to switch off theputer, Bo Xiao suddenly realized that the woman opposite Bo Qing looked a little familiar.

    He zoomed in on the picture and was amused.

    <i>Isn¡¯t this Sister-inw¡¯s step-mother??</i>

    <i>This world was really too small. Bo Qing, that old thing, ignoring everything else, was really good at finding women. He would find whichever woman he shouldn¡¯t touch and find them one at a time.</i>

    Bo Xiao tidied up the photos and sent them to Jun Shiling.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At that moment, Jun Shiling was frowning as he looked at the itinerary sent by Lin Jing.

    ¡°France? Tonight? Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, this is a temporary adjustment of the meeting time. I came to inform you as soon as I received the news.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I understand. Go and prepare. You¡¯reing with me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at his itinerary. The flight was at six o¡¯clock, and he did not even have time to return to the manor to exin to them.

 Chapter 272 - Much Misses, Video Call

    <h4>Chapter 272: Much Misses, Video Call</h4>

    Over the years, Jun Shiling had been used to going on business trips. He had been flying around the world. This was the first time he had resisted going on business trips so much.

    Jun Shiling originally wanted to bring Xia Wanyuan along, but thinking that it would take nearly ten hours to go to France and that Xia Wanyuan seemed to have a publicity event to do tomorrow, he could only give up on the idea.

    He called the manor and Uncle Wang answered. He said that Xia Wanyuan had gone to the swimming hall to exercise, so Jun Shiling hung up.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan came out of the swimming pool, the sky had already darkened.

    Old Master Jun sent a letter saying that he wanted to bring Xiao Bao to the quad for two days and that he missed his great-grandson.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Jun Shiling?¡± Xia Wanyuan touched her hungry stomach, thinking that they would start eating when Jun Shiling returned.

    ¡°Young Master went to France for a business trip. He must be on the ne by now.¡± Uncle Wang asked the servants to serve the food as he replied.

    ¡°France? Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan had seen this country on the map before. It was very far away.

    When she sat at the dining table and was alone in the huge dining room, Xia Wanyuan felt a little ufortable.

    It had been a long time since she had eaten alone.

    She subconsciously reached for the ss of water beside her, but it was empty. In the past, Jun Shiling would always ce a ss of warm water by her hand before meals. Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to get up and pour herself a ss.

    Xia Wanyuan liked to eat steamed prawns, but this time, no one peeled the shells for her. Xia Wanyuan was toozy to do it herself, so she could only take a look at the prawn meat and drop the idea.

    She picked up a piece of tofu and ced it in her bowl. The onions, ginger, and garlic on the tofu dripped onto the rice. Xia Wanyuan recalled that in the past few days, every time Jun Shiling picked up food for her, he would first remove the onions, ginger, and garlic that she did not like before putting them in her bowl.

    It was as if nothing she ate was as delicious as before. Xia Wanyuan stopped after a few mouthfuls of food and went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of fruits upstairs.

    Leaning on the sofa in the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan watched the Happy Sheep and ate the fruits. She felt that the faint pressure in her heart had not dissipated, so she put her phone aside and entered the bathroom to take a shower.

    On the ne that had already left China, Jun Shiling ate two mouthfuls of food and lost his appetite.

    Lin Jing nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the phone on this private ne has been specially modified. It canmunicate via voice and video call with the outside world. Do you want to call home and tell me that you¡¯re safe? Madam might be worried about you,¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied, then threw down his chopsticks and sat on the other end of the sofa. He pressed the reception button for the guest cabin, then turned on his phone and called Xia Wanyuan on WeChat.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m going back to the bedroom to eat.¡± After speaking, Lin Jing picked up his bowl and left the cabin.

    Lin Jing felt that when he retired in the future, he might be able to write a book, ¡°The Self-Cultivation of a Light Bulb Special Assistant¡±.

    The phone rang for a long time. Jun Shiling was puzzled as to whether Xia Wanyuan had fallen asleep. The music had almost ended, and Jun Shiling was about to hang up when the phone was picked up.

    ¡°Jun Shiling? Why is there signal on the ne?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.?<i>Didn¡¯t they say that they could not call each other on the ne?</i>?Xia Wanyuan had thought of calling Jun Shiling just now, but thinking that he might not be able to answer the phone, she gave up.

    ¡°I can do it on my side.¡± They had clearly been separated for a few hours, but Jun Shiling acted as if he had not seen Xia Wanyuan for a long time. He nced at Xia Wanyuan a few times before noticing that she had just taken a shower. Her hair was still half wet. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you blow dry your hair?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± It was as if Xia Wanyuan had just realized that her hair was wet. She reached out to touch it and felt a patch of coldness. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone carried an unconscious coquettishness. ¡°You¡¯re not here.¡±

    The unconscious dependence and habit in her words made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ache and soften. He wanted to appear in front of Xia Wanyuan now and blow dry her hair as usual, but now, he could only look at her on the screen.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she felt that she was a little strange.

    In her previous life, she was the one who relied on her younger siblings. No matter what happened, she would be the one to shoulder it. She had never relied on anyone else either. In the end, in the modern world, she was actually unwilling to blow dry her hair herself.

    ¡°Alright, go and dry your hair first. Be good. Don¡¯t catch a coldter. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was exceptionally gentle today.

    Although he was usually very gentle to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle tone today was filled with doting. Just listening to him talk made Xia Wanyuan blush and her ears heat up.

    Xia Wanyuan had interacted with many men in her two generations. She had good teachers, friends, rtives, andrades, but she had never experienced such a scene when she interacted with Jun Shiling.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s world, there had never been the concept of love.

    However, she felt that her rtionship with Jun Shiling seemed to be different from those in the past. This rtionship made her panic, but there was also a hint of joy from her panic.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced the phone aside and went to get the hairdryer. She had always been used to others blowing her hair. Xia Wanyuan was still not used to it. It took her nearly twenty minutes to blow dry her hair.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone again. On the other end of the line, Jun Shiling was reading documents with his head lowered. On the paper beside him, there was already an entire page of notes.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but sigh.?<i>Only such a Jun Shiling could make the Jun Corporation reach its current scale.</i>

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you do your work first? I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not busy.¡± Hearing themotion, Jun Shiling put down the brush in his hand and carefully looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. After confirming that it had been dry, a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°Why are you blowing it so messily?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m not as skilled as you.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and found afortable position to lie down. Her clothes pulled open a section of her fair corbone, making it shine under the light.

    ¡°Mm, when I go back, you don¡¯t have to do it yourself.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was still filled with tolerance and pampering, just like how Xia Wanyuan used to coax Xiao Bao. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears inexplicably burned.

    ]¡±What did you eat tonight?¡± Since Xia Wanyuan did not speak, Jun Shiling changed the topic.

    ¡°Shredded pork, prawns, and vegetables.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she seemed to beining. ¡°I didn¡¯t touch the prawns.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He knew why she did not touch the prawns.

    The gentle that had been quietly set up had already begun to slowly close.

    ¡°Wait for me toe back,¡± Jun Shiling only said this one sentence after hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, but Xia Wanyuan understood what he meant.

 Chapter 273 - Car Pursuit

    <h4>Chapter 273: Car Pursuit</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan could not pinpoint what was wrong, but she did not dare to look straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s passionate eyes.

    ¡°When are youing back?¡±

    ¡°Three dayster.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt a strange sense of loss.

    ¡°Go to sleep. Do you have a job tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°I have to go film an advertisement at Ya Zi after waking up tomorrow morning.¡± Ever since Ya Zi had chosen Xia Wanyuan as her spokesperson, they had been preparing all sorts of endorsement jobs. Now, they had finally informed Xia Wanyuan to film a series of advertisements.

    ¡°Sleep early. Goodnight.¡± Jun Shiling clearly had a lot to say, but seeing Xia Wanyuan yawn sleepily, Jun Shiling stopped himself from continuing.

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan, who had always had a good sleep quality, tossed and turned but did not fall asleep. Her heart was a little empty and messy.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but take the phone. ¡°Are you asleep?¡±

    Jun Shiling was called back almost instantly. ¡°Can¡¯t sleep?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Then let me tell you a story.¡± Jun Shiling softened his voice and slowly told Xia Wanyuan a story. Under Jun Shiling¡¯s deliberately slow tone, Xia Wanyuan gradually fell asleep.

    In the bedroom, as Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, the lights gradually dimmed. After quietly watching Xia Wanyuan sleep for a while, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached.

    Fortunately, the person who could make Xia Wanyuan fall asleep on the other end of the screen without any guard was him.

    Seeing that the lights on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side had dimmed, Jun Shiling hung up the phone and looked at the documents beside him again.

    It was a good night¡¯s sleep.

    Everything went very smoothly during Ya Zi¡¯s filming. Ya Zi¡¯s people were all very polite to Xia Wanyuan. After all, Ya Zi had never had a spokesperson in so many years. It was not easy for her to have one. Furthermore, Ya Zi¡¯s CEO had specially instructed them specifically to take care of her, so the entirepany was peaceful.

    ¡°That¡¯s great!! That¡¯s the feeling!¡± The cameraman¡¯s shutter was clicking crazily.

    In the beginning, Xia Wanyuan was still a little unustomed to the few scenes, but slowly, she could already adjust her condition very skillfully ording to the photographer¡¯s instructions.

    If not for the photographers watching her change on the spot, they would not dare to believe that the person who showed herself in front of the camera had never filmed an advertisement.

    Ya Zi had originally nned to shoot for the entire day, but Xia Wanyuan waspatible and the filming efficiency was high. She spent half a day toplete the entire day¡¯s agenda.

    ¡°What are we going to eat?¡± Chen Yun asked the twodies sitting in the car as he drove.

    She did not notice that the car beside her had gradually distanced itself from the car in front that had the statue of the goddess.?<i>What a joke. If he scraped it, who could afford to pay?</i>

    Hence, slowly, Chen Yun¡¯s car became the one that was closest to the front. It was originally driving properly, but for some reason, the car in front suddenly stopped. Chen Yun did not stop the car and immediately chased after it, bumping into the car¡¯s butt.

    ]¡±How does this person drive?¡± Fortunately, it was only a gentle bump, so there was no safety problem. The chauffeur opposite got out of the car and checked the condition of the car before knocking on the window beside Chen Yun.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Chen Yun was about to argue with him.

    ¡°Is this Miss Xia¡¯s car?¡± The chauffeur spoke first. A look of alertness shed across Chen Yun¡¯s eyes.

    <i>¡®Xia Wanyuan shouldn¡¯t be popr enough to have a crazy fan, right?¡¯</i>

 Chapter 274 - Eating with Xuan Sheng

    <h4>Chapter 274: Eating with Xuan Sheng</h4>

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Chen Yun asked warily.

    ¡°I¡¯m CEO Xuan¡¯s assistant.¡± The person did not avoid it. ¡°Our CEO Xuan said, I wonder if Miss Xia is interested in the development project of Moon Bay?¡±

    Chen Yun felt that there was probably something wrong with CEO Xuan¡¯s brain. Who treated people like this? (italics)

    ¡°Sure. Brother Chen, follow the car in front.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was in the back seat, unexpectedly agreed to this strange meal.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the ce that has been arranged.¡± Xuan Sheng was not surprised by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer. He leaned on the chair and smiled.

    Hence, a Rolls-Royce with a BMW tailing behind it passed through the city.

    About half an hourter, Xuan Sheng¡¯s car stopped in front of an ancient courtyard.

    Even though he had just finished the shareholder meeting, Xuan Sheng¡¯s temperament was stillzy and exuded an evil and uninhibited aura.

    Xuan Sheng got out of the car, walked to the back, and personally opened the door for Xia Wanyuan.

    The people standing at the entrance of the courtyard watched Xuan Sheng treat a woman so eagerly. Their eyes were about to fall out.

    Xuan Sheng was famous for being a flirt, but if one were to talk about it, he seemed to have never brought any of those women out.

    In any public or private setting, there had never been a woman beside Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Miss Xia, long time no see.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished filming the advertisement, had some makeup on her face, making her facial features look even more beautiful and magnificent, making Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes light up.

    ¡°Not long,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied without giving him any face. Not only did it not make Xuan Sheng unhappy, but his peach blossom-shaped eyes even had a hint of a real smile.

    Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, and Chen Yun and Tang Yin followed behind her. However, after entering the courtyard, they were stopped and invited to the living room to wait.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡­¡± Tang Yin looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. Xuan Sheng looked very evil. Tang Yin was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be hurt.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Wait for me here.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Tang Yinfortingly.

    From the outside, the courtyard was not big, but inside, there were all kinds of pavilions, nine bends, and waterfalls. The scenery was very good.

    ¡°Your manager is very afraid that I will do something to you,¡± Xuan Sheng, who was walking along the corridor with Xia Wanyuan, suddenly said. His peach blossom-shaped eyes raised slightly, and he looked at her with a hint of evilness. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t touch me,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied very calmly.

    Although Xuan Sheng had always appeared with a casual and evil appearance, she had controlled the royal court for many years and believed that she had some ability to see through human nature. Deep in his bones, Xuan Sheng was actually a rather prideful person.

    A person with an arrogant temperament would not put his words into action no matter how unbearable they were.

    Another important thing was that Xuan Sheng knew about her rtionship with Jun Shiling. She thought that Xuan Sheng would not go against Jun Shiling so directly.

    Xuan Sheng smiled. The evilness in his eyes subsided a little, and there was a hint of reality that could not be seen outside.

    ¡°Thank you forst time. I¡¯ve always wanted to find a chance to treat you to a meal.¡± Xuan Sheng restrained the teasing in his tone.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t take it to heart. If you really want to thank me, you can give me an extra two shares for the Moon Bay project.¡± The Moon Bay project was the firstrge project that Xia Wanyuan had worked hard to develop after taking over thepany. It was critical to thepany¡¯s development.

    ¡°

 Chapter 275

    <h4>Chapter 275: Master Jun is Angry and Jealous</h4>

    ¡°You¡¯re eating too much. Two shares.¡± If it were Xuan Sheng¡¯s ownpany, he might be willing to give these two cents to Xia Wanyuan. However, there was still a group of old farts in Glory World Corporation who were watching his mistake. He really could not give up these two shares.

    As they spoke, they had already arrived at the dining area. Around an open pavilion was a sky full of flowers. Xia Wanyuan looked at the sky full of stars and recalled that the original owner of the body seemed to like these flowers the most.

    There was a freshly soaked Snowdrift on the table. It was the taste she had drunk in Xuan Sheng¡¯s office the previous time. Xia Wanyuan took a sip, and the fragrant and sweet taste instantly engulfed her mouth.

    ¡°Thest time I sent you a can of Snowing in the Wind to your house.¡± Xuan Sheng saw that Xia Wanyuan liked this tea and recalled the tea he had sent to the manorst time.

    At the mention of this, Xia Wanyuan recalled that Jun Shiling had taken the pot of tea away and she had never seen it again.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t receive it,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied. Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xuan Sheng did not seem surprised. The corners of his lips curled up as he ced the refreshments beside Xia Wanyuan.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was interested in the Moon Bay project, Xuan Sheng got someone to bring the project book over and discussed this project with her one by one.

    When they talked about serious matters, Xuan Sheng had the ability to make Xia Wanyuan take him seriously.

    As she listened to Xuan Sheng¡¯s summary seriously, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear phoenix eyes looked at someone seriously, making one feel as if they were in the other party¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I want to go and check it out myself.¡± After listening to Xuan Sheng¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a better idea. It couldbine the Moon Bay project with thepany¡¯s transformation, but she needed to go to Moon Bay and take a look personally to know if this idea could be sessful.

    ¡°Sure. It¡¯s developing over there. When are you going? I¡¯ll tell them first.¡±

    ¡°Next month.¡± Old Master¡¯s seventieth birthday wasing up soon, and she still had to settle the divorce procedures with Jun Shiling. She would probably be busy for the time being and would only have time to go out next month.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention next month, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered. The date that the employee of Jun Corporation that had resigned mentioned was the end of this month.

    Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, the people below brought the food up tactfully.

    ¡°The food here is not bad. Try it.¡±

    Xuan Sheng ced the cutlery by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and handed the beverage to her. Xia Wanyuan took it readily, as if she was already used to being treated like this. A thought shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s mind, but his expression did not change.

    The food here was in the southern style. It was exquisite and small, and the taste was not bad. Xia Wanyuan had been busy for a long time and was hungry now. She ate the rice in her bowl seriously and did not speak.

    Xuan Sheng had never liked to eat. Slightly oily food would make him very anxious. However, seeing Xia Wanyuan eat so seriously today, Xuan Sheng¡¯s appetite was aroused. He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and ced it in his mouth tentatively.

    <i>Mm, it still tasted awful. I will only have more appetite if I watch Xia Wanyuan eat.</i>

    After Xia Wanyuan finished a bowl, she handed it to the servant beside her, implying that she wanted another bowl.

    Sensing Xuan Sheng¡¯s interested gaze, Xia Wanyuan nced at the rice in Xuan Sheng¡¯s bowl.

    ¡°Out of all the men I¡¯ve seen, you eat the least.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan said this, Xuan Sheng seemed to insist on winning. He ate the food that he did not like. Xia Wanyuan ate two bowls while he ate two bowls and a spoonful.

    ¡°I ate more than you.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan put down her bowl and chopsticks, Xuan Sheng finally put down his chopsticks. His stomach churned with the disgust brought by the mixture of oil and gas. Some disorder began to appear in his eyes.

    ¡°Have some tea.¡± Xia Wanyuan sensed that something was wrong with Xuan Sheng¡¯s emotions and handed him the teacup beside him.

    Her bones were like bamboo, and her fair hand that was like jade rested on the porcin cup as if it carried a hint of coldness. Miraculously, it made the impatience in Xuan Sheng¡¯s heart dissipate a little.

    ¡°Alright, we¡¯re done talking. Thank you for your hospitality. It¡¯s time for me to go.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. She had to go back in the afternoon to prepare the promotion of potato chips. She couldn¡¯t stay outside anymore.

    ¡°Okay, let me send you.¡± Xuan Sheng stood up and was about to send Xia Wanyuan out.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone vibrated.

    A familiar ck profile picture shed on the screen. Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.?<i>¡®Isn¡¯t it nighttime in France? Why isn¡¯t Jun Shiling asleep?¡¯</i>

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Have you eaten?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded beside her ear. He seemed to have just woken up, and his voice was low and numb, tickling her ears.

    ¡°I just finished eating and am preparing to go back.¡±

    Xuan Sheng watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression as she spoke on the phone. The warm smile on her lips was blinding to Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°The Eight Treasures Duck you just ate is a little oily. Drink some tea to get rid of the cloy feeling. It¡¯s your favorite Snowing in the Wind.¡± Xuan Sheng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    By the window of the hotel, Jun Shiling, who was about to ask Xia Wanyuan what she had eaten, frowned.

    <i>Xuan Sheng??</i>

    <i>Snowing in the Wind?</i>?Thinking of the bottle of Snowing in the Wind that he had thrown away, Jun Shiling frowned even more.

    ¡°No need, I¡¯m not thirsty.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved her hand, picked up her bag, and walked out. Xuan Sheng followed her.

    ¡°You¡¯re outside?¡± Jun Shiling suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked as usual.

    ¡°Mm, I bumped into CEO Xuan. We ate together and are preparing to go back now.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll call you when you get back.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was normal, but his deep eyes were already filled with coldness.

    Ever since Xuan Sheng sent the Snowing in the Wind, he had sent people to investigate. He did not expect that this person was still lingering around.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin were about to die of anxiety. After waiting for a long time, Tang Yin had a fiery temper and was about to rush in. Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan appeared in time.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan and the rest leave, Xuan Sheng recalled the expression on Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s faces when they spoke on the phone just now. He felt a headacheing on, and his eyes were filled with uncontroble impatience.

    ¡°Young Master, a fewdies were just sent to the courtyard. What do you think?¡±

    From a very long time ago, in that dark courtyard, he had learned to use all sorts of extreme methods to ease his mental and physical depression.

    But now, thinking of those ice-cold eyes, Xuan Sheng subconsciously resisted those darkness that could not see the sun.

    ¡°Send them away.¡± Xuan Sheng threw down this sentence and left the courtyard.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The fans who slept happily through the weekend reached for their phones and switched them on. They were about to watch Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream rey when they saw a live-stream post that Xia Yu had just posted. All their sleepiness disappeared.

    <i>What did he mean by not live-streaming anymore?!?!!!</i>

 Chapter 276 - Xia Yus Farewell

    <h4>Chapter 276: Xia Yu¡¯s Farewell</h4>

    At that moment, the fans panicked. After all, what fans were most afraid of was their idol leaving the industry. They could see Xia Yu¡¯s live broadcast every day, but once he left the industry, it meant that they could no longer see him every day. This was especially cruel to the fans.

    What caused a stir in the fan industry was a post by Xia Yu.

    @ Xia Yu: ¡°I¡¯ve been very happy to meet everyone during this period of time. I unintentionally entered the live-stream world and gained the support and love of many people. I¡¯m very grateful that everyone can always support me. After careful consideration, I¡¯ve decided to withdraw from the live-stream. We¡¯ll meet again if we¡¯re fated to.¡±

    In the past, there had also been hosts who had said that they would leave the industry, but that was because the broadcaster wanted to torture his fans and thene back for the live broadcast to receive more gifts.

    Furthermore, Xiaoyu¡¯s live-stream had developed especially well. Now, it was on the King of Glory board and had a stable stream with many fans. Most people believed that this broadcaster named Xiaoyu was just putting on an act. It was impossible for him to leave the live-stream world.

    However, very quickly, Cat¡¯s Tooth¡¯s official ount also posted an exnation. After confirming that Xiaoyu had left, the fans realized that Xiaoyu was really preparing to leave.

    [ No, Brother, where are you going? ]

    [ If Brother stops live-streaming, I¡¯m not watching live-streams either. Boohoo. ]

    [ What happened? Why did the sky change when I woke up? Who can tell me what my younger brother is going to do? ]

    [ I¡¯m autistic. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to like a gaming broadcaster with skills, a good voice, a pleasant voice, and a handsome face. In the end, you told me that he stopped broadcasting. My mentality copsed. ]

    In Di Fan University¡¯s dormitory, the others looked at Xia Yu in confusion.

    ¡°Enlist?!!¡± The few of them looked at each other.?<i>Was Xia Yu acting on a whim? Why would a delicate young master like him suffer in the military?</i>

    ¡°Mm, I suddenly want to go.¡± Xia Yu was calm as he filled in the application form on theputer. The country had a special n for university students to enlist. Xia Yu looked at it and realized that he fit the requirements.

    ¡°Why do you suddenly want to join the army?¡± Xia Yu didn¡¯t look like someone who would suffer like that.

    ¡°The clothes are so handsome! They match my temperament.¡± Xia Yu smiled frivolously. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Xia Yu was just joking.

    After persuading Xia Yu, everyone returned to their beds.

    Looking at the application form in front of him, Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts drifted to the group of soldiers in uniform who were holding their heads high when they passed by the central square of the Capital.

    Ever since he was young, Xia Yu had never had anything he wanted to do. Even his live-stream was topete with Ruan Nian.

    However, under the blue sky and white clouds, the group of people in camouge seemed to have suddenly stirred the desire in Xia Yu¡¯s heart. Xia Yu thought of Xia Wanyuan.

    He seemed to always be protected by Xia Wanyuan.

    At that moment, Xia Yu felt a surge of faith. He also wanted to be an indomitable person, someone who could protect Xia Wanyuan.

    After filling in the application form, Xia Yu stopped at thest moment and called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Enlist? Sure. As long as you like it, I¡¯ll support your decision.¡± The cold voice was as usual, giving one endless confidence.

    As Xia Yu had expected, Xia Wanyuan did not urge him to stay like the others. Instead, she stood behind him and supported him firmly.

 Chapter 277 - Shes My Wife

    <h4>Chapter 277: She¡¯s My Wife</h4>

    After a long while, Xia Wanyuan finally returned to the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan had just changed andid on the sofa when Jun Shiling called.

    ¡°You¡¯re home?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded in her ears, making her ears warm for some reason.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Was the lunch good?¡± Jun Shiling suddenly asked, his tone sounding very normal.

    ¡°It¡¯s not bad,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied honestly. After all, it was a dish that Xuan Sheng had meticulously prepared. The taste was indeed quite good.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly and did not say anything else.

    However, Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed that Jun Shiling was not in a good mood. ¡°Isn¡¯t it night over there? Why are you up so early?¡±

    ¡°I have a meeting.¡±

    In fact, meetings did not have to be that early. The main reason was that he was already used to having a faint fragrance lingering around him when he was sleeping. Now that he was suddenly in a foreign country, he woke up not long after sleeping. Seeing that it was noon in China, he wanted to hear Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, so he called home.

    Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would give him a surprise?

    It was said that women were very sensitive to their love rivals, and it was the same for men. Hearing Xuan Sheng¡¯s voice beside Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling felt suffocated and could not sleep anymore.

    The two of them hung onto the phone and casually chatted about their daily lives. When the call ended, Xia Wanyuan looked at the time and was a little shocked. She and Jun Shiling had actually chatted for nearly an hour.

    However, when she recalled the content, they seemed to have not chatted at all. She did not know why they had chatted for so long.

    Jun Shiling was in France and was apanied by a local official. Seeing that this swift and decisive CEO Jun, who looked sharp and cold, was actually speaking to the person on the other end of the phone so gently,

    The French official could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Is she CEO Jun¡¯s girlfriend? Your rtionship is really good.¡±

    At the mention of Xia Wanyuan, a smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He corrected him extremely seriously, ¡°She¡¯s not my girlfriend. She¡¯s my wife.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s name was extremely famous worldwide. Everyone could not help but be curious how outstanding the wife of this man who controlled the world was to be able to win Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    Hence, before this mysterious Madam Jun even appeared, she had already left a deep impression in the hearts of the French.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The promotion of Hays was the same as the previous time. Xia Wanyuan helped promote the new vors. As for the publicity method, the potato chips department had said that Xia Wanyuan could decide for herself.

    Many people had already waited in the live-stream. Xia Wanyuan could be considered to have gained a small fan now. In addition, with the increase in scenes involving the Heavenly Spirit Princess in the past few days, many passers-by who had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan because of her role had also gathered in the live-stream.

    ¡°Hello, everyone.¡±

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan was as punctual as usual. She clicked on the live-stream on time.

    Since Hays said that she could be more casual, Xia Wanyuan really casually wore a white T-shirt with SpongeBob SquarePants printed on the chest, making her look very yful and cute.

    After returning from the manor, Xia Wanyuan had removed her makeup. Now, she was toozy to put on her makeup. With a in face, she appeared in the live-stream.

    However, Nuwa deserved to be attacked by so many people. She was really unfair.

    Wearing a simple white T-shirt and a face without any makeup, Xia Wanyuan was like a slender lotus, still beautiful and moving.

    <h4>Chapter 278: The Princess Is So Cute When She¡¯s Eating</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    [ Hello? Is Nuwa here? I¡¯m so ugly I can¡¯t sleep. ]

    [ Nuwa, write a book. ¡®About how biased I am,¡¯ ]

    [ These eyshes, this skin, I¡¯m crying. Is this serious?? I suddenly feel that I don¡¯t even deserve mud. ]

    [ She¡¯s so beautiful! Her skin is too good. Boohoo, what celestial beauty!!! I want to bite Yuan Yuan¡¯s face. It feels sweet. ]

    [ I¡¯m dead. I¡¯m King Zhou of Shang now. Thank you, King Zhou You. I can understand how those kings lose their minds to win a beauty¡¯s smile. That¡¯s it. How can you not lose your mind? ]

    Under everyone¡¯s enthusiasm, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream quickly became popr.

    ¡°What does everyone like to do at home when they have nothing to do?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked to the sofa and sat down, chatting with everyone.

    [ y games and scold my teammates in King¡¯s Canyon. ]

    [ Of course being sweet with my boyfriend. ]

    [ Someone who¡¯s showing off her love has sneaked in. Brothers, take her out! ]

    [ Watch a drama and eat snacks!! The happy life of a fatso! ]

    Theizens discussed their usual entertainment projects enthusiastically on thements. Then, in the live-stream, Xia Wanyuan turned the camera and switched on the television.

    Looking at the silly wolf with a scar on the television screen, the live-stream fell into a daze. The Hays management was in despair.

    <i>Although I said to be casual, there¡¯s no need to be so casual, right???</i>

    <i>At least thest time, she had sat in the live-stream and ate potato chips seriously. This time, she did not even pretend? Was it really good to be so carefree??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t feel that promoting a product had to be done properly in the live-stream to promote the product.

    As a snack, Hays was originally a seasoning for people¡¯s leisure lives. As long as she could show that the potato chips were delicious, that was enough.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan opened the potato chips while looking at the gray wolf.

    ¡°This cartoon is pretty good.¡± As if afraid that the people in thements would not know, Xia Wanyuan specially rmended it to everyone.

    The audience was speechless.?<i>This cartoon had been released for almost ten years. Should we say that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s inte speed was slow or that she was retro??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan fed herself a potato chip. With the excellent microphone, the crisp sound of the potato chips was transmitted to the live-stream. The audience could not help but swallow.

    Everyone was still waiting for Xia Wanyuan to introduce the chip, but she was already engrossed in the cartoon, as if she had forgotten that there was a live broadcast. Fifteen minutes passed, and in the live-stream, there was nothing but the sound of Xia Wanyuan helping herself to chips.

    [??? Move! ]

    [ Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Am I deaf? ]

    [ It¡¯s hard to imagine that I actually watched the Gray Wolf in someone else¡¯s live-stream for so long without the broadcaster saying a word. ]

    [ I¡¯m shocked. Hey, are Hays going to die of anger? What kind of strange promoter is this? She¡¯s been doing a live broadcast for so long and doesn¡¯t even say a word. At least introduce the product. They spent money to invite you here not for you to specially eat. ]

    [ Although¡­ but¡­ Speaking of which, it looks like this potato chip is so delicious. I feel like I can smell it. Isn¡¯t the happy life of a fatso just lying on the sofa and eating delicious snacks and watching his favorite drama? ]

    Although everyone said that they would leave the live-stream if Xia Wanyuan did not speak, the constant increase in poprity in the live-stream indicated that

    The currentizens were just a group of people who said one thing but meant another.

    Netizens expressed:?<i>What can we do?!! Isn¡¯t it all because Xia Wanyuan was too cute when she ate?!! Who can stand this?!!?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was indeed someone who was used to lying on the sofa and watching dramas.

    She found a perfect spot on the sofa andy down. There was a thin nket covering her legs and she was hugging chips. When she reached out, there was arge te of fruits and a bottle of happy iced coke beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan ate the food. Her mouth was like a little hamster, pouting slightly. It contrasted beautifully with the SpongeBob SquarePants that wereughing loudly in front of her chest. It was very adorable.

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to have a lowughing point. She was always amused by the strange actions of the wolf on television. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and her eyes seemed to be filled with fine diamonds that flickered with a bright light.

    The warm light shone on her as she leaned on the sofa and ate her favorite food. As she watched her favorite cartoon, the smiling Xia Wanyuan easily touched the definition of beauty in people¡¯s hearts.

    This was everyone¡¯s most rxed state. Whether it was after studying or after the fatigue of life, leaning on the soft sofa like Xia Wanyuan, opening a bag of snacks that she liked and watching a video that she liked, the fatigue of the day would be soothed in such a scene.

    [ Mommy, I saw the fairy. ]

    [ How delicious must this potato chip be? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes are filled with smiles when she eats it. I can feel the satisfaction overflowing from her. ]

    [ She¡¯s so cute. Her mouth puffs up when she eats. Boohoo, I actually scolded her for being ugly in the past. I was just blind. ]

    [ I can¡¯t help it anymore. I¡¯m going to arrange the potato chips, c, and cartoons!!!!!! No one can stop me from being a happy fatso. ]

    [ The person in front, Xia Wanyuan is a fairy who eats potato chips and drinks c. If you eat like her, you¡¯ll be really fat and homely. ]

    [ How heartbreaking. Speaking of which, I have to mention that biased Nuwa. We¡¯re both humans, so why can¡¯t you make me look better? ]

    An hour passed. Xia Wanyuan looked at the bag of chips and saw that it was empty. She showed everyone the empty bag of chips and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m done eating. It tastes pretty good. Everyone, you can try it.¡±

    The hearts of the Hays publicity department had turned cold.

    <i>What do you mean by not bad?!! You are promoting our product! Shouldn¡¯t you say that this potato chip tastes unprecedented and unprecedentedly good?!!! That you¡¯ll be in a good mood for three years after eating one!!!?</i>

    <i>If your evaluation of a product promotion is only not bad, who would be willing to buy it?!</i>

    The Hays publicity department had already packed up and was preparing to get off work. It was unknown if the marketing department had gone crazy or what, but they insisted on rmending Xia Wanyuan for the product promotion.?<i>Great, our money had gone to waste.</i>

    However, just as they reached the door, they were shouted back by the leader. ¡°What are you going to do!! The customer service department has already exploded, and the orders have increased to the point of explosion. If you don¡¯t stay and help, where are you going?!!¡±

    The people from the marketing department were stunned.. They ran back and looked at the data.?<i>Oh my god, what kind of genius was this??</i>

 Chapter 279 - Master Jun Flirting with the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 279: Master Jun Flirting with the Princess</h4>

    Not only was Xia Wanyuan on time for the start of the live-stream, but she was also on time for the end of the live-stream.

    At that time, the Hays officials were talking about an hour-long promotional event. After Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°The potato chips are not bad. Everyone can try them.¡±, she turned off the live broadcast without warning.

    The screen that was just still filled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ethereal face, suddenly darkened, and arge face suddenly appeared on the screen.

    Everyone subconsciously took a step back.?<i>Hey, where did this naivetye from?</i>

    <i>By the time they reacted, oh, this person is me.</i>

    <i>Nuwa,e out!!!!! We must fight today!!!</i>

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not speak much throughout the live-stream, everything was said without words.

    The true meaning of snacks had already been disyed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. Eating snacks and watching videos, quietly enjoying the most harmonious and quiet personal moments. All of this was enough to move the people in the live-stream.

    Hence, after the live broadcast ended, orders for Hays exploded. Almost 98% of those who had watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast had ced orders in Hays¡¯ gship store.

    The people from the marketing department were stunned. This was not the direction they had been promoting their products in. However, reality told them that not only big celebrities could drive the sales of their products.

    Only by matching the characteristics of the product to the needs of the customers could the best results be achieved.

    The Hays potato chip headquarters had also noticed the promotional activity this time. One sales explosion could be said to be a coincidence, but two explosions were enough to let the people in the headquarters recognize the magical ability of this female celebrity from the East.

    That night, the headquarters of the Hays decided to confirm Xia Wanyuan as the spokesperson for Hays.

    Xia Wanyuan did not eat high-calorie food every day. Every time she ate these things, even though she had a good constitution, she had to exercise for a while to exhaust the excess heat.

    After changing her clothes, Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone and brought it into the swimming pool.

    Nanny Li guarded Xia Wanyuan by the pool while she swam round and round. After a period of training, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s posture was already quite standard, and her speed had be very fast. Like a nimble fish, she swam between the waves.

    After ten rounds, Xia Wanyuan walked to a chair by the pool to rest. She took the phone by the side and saw that there was indeed a missed call.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to press the redial button when she suddenly wanted to see what France was like. She switched to WeChat and made a video call.

    In the meeting room, the European routine meeting was nearing its end. It was almost noon, and everyone had finished reporting what they needed to report. Once Jun Shiling dismissed the meeting, everyone began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

    Therge meeting room was actually very quiet. Hence, the sound of WeChat vibrating was especially abrupt in the meeting room.

    Everyone looked at each other. Although the meeting was over, there were rules that prohibited employees from bringing their phones to the meeting room.?<i>Which unlucky person was so unruly?</i>

    Then, everyone saw Jun Shiling take out his phone that was ringing with a gentle expression.

    <i>Oh, it¡¯s the boss¡¯s phone. It¡¯s fine then.</i>

    CEO Jun, who had just been sitting in his high seat with a serious and decisive expression and discussing with his employees about the ability to change the European market in the future, now had a gentle expression on his face. Everyone looked calm on the surface, but their hearts had already exploded.

    They put away theputer slowly and checked their notes.?<i>Yes, there were wrong words. I could sit down and change them before leaving.</i>?The speed at which everyone packed their things seemed to have been pressed 0.5 times.

    Jun Shiling pressed the answer button and nced at the others in the meeting room.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze, everyone¡¯s speed increased tenfold. In an instant, the people in the meeting room ran away.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s pupils constricted when he saw the shocking whiteness on the screen.

    ¡°Why did you call me?¡± Xia Wanyuan wiped her hair and raised her hand to reveal a proud arc.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was low.

    ¡°Tomorrow? Didn¡¯t you say three days? Why are you so fast?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s not much to do. If it ends quickly, we can go back earlier.¡± Jun Shiling pulled his gaze away from the whiteness. Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and wiped her hair. Jun Shiling brazenly ced his gaze on Xia Wanyuan.

    European executives, who doubled their work and had meetings day and night, said,?<i>Listen to this. Is this humannguage? There¡¯s not much to do???</i>

    Then, everyone received a message: The employees who worked overtime in meetings day and night would be rewarded with a month¡¯s sry allowance.

    The executives said,?<i>Hehe, CEO Jun isn¡¯t speaking humannguage. That¡¯s God¡¯snguage. Is there still a meeting? I think I can continue to fight for CEO Jun for twenty years.</i>

    Hearing that Jun Shiling wasing back early, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable joy.

    The two of them were speechless for a moment as they watched Xia Wanyuan slowly dry her hair. Jun Shiling walked to the window and pointed the camera out.

    ¡°Look out the window,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said.

    Outside the window, the rain pattered past the tall dome. The ancient and elegant pce looked especially mysterious in the rain. Unlike the buildings in China, France indeed had a different style.

    ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never been far away. It was only after she came to the modern world that she saw on television that other than China, there were so many other worlds and countries in the world.

    ¡°I¡¯ll bring you along next time.¡±

    ¡°Okay, we can bring Xiao Bao over next time.¡±

    There was only the continuous rain outside the window on the screen, and Jun Shiling¡¯s figure could not be seen. Xia Wanyuan looked at the rain on the screen seriously, while Jun Shiling allowed his gaze to wrap around Xia Wanyuan on the screen.

    ¡°It¡¯s raining.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded with an inexplicable gentleness.

    Of course, Xia Wanyuan knew that it was raining. After all, the rain was disyed on the screen. However, she could not exin why her ears slowly turned red when she heard Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s colorful ears on the screen, Jun Shilingughed softly. Itnded beside Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and tickled her heart.

    ¡°Alright, go take a shower after your swim. Don¡¯t catch a cold. Do you like earrings? I¡¯ll buy them for you.¡±

    ¡°Why will you suddenly buy me earrings?¡± Xia Wanyuan was somewhat puzzled.

    ¡°I just think that your ears are quite red. Perhaps you¡¯ll look good with a ruby earring.¡± There was an obvious smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s voice.

    Jun Shiling still did not switch his phone camera back, so Xia Wanyuan could not see Jun Shiling¡¯s image, but Jun Shiling could see her. Xia Wanyuan felt awkward, as if she had lost the upper hand.

    Xia Wanyuan bit her lip and switched the camera. Now that Jun Shiling could not see her ears, he could not tease her anymore.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was lying on the chair. After the camera changed, a pair of straight legs appeared on the screen.

 Chapter 280 - Master Jun Tells a Fairy Tale

    <h4>Chapter 280: Master Jun Tells a Fairy Tale</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was tall and had a good figure proportion. Normally, when she wore a skirt and pants, her legs looked like bamboo.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a bathing suit. Her swimming trunks reached the middle of her thighs, revealing arge portion of white jade.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan had just finished swimming and the water droplets on her legs were still wet. The hazy water wrapped around her fair long legs and upied the entire screen.

    Jun Shiling clearly didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to do this, and his breathing became heavy.

    Xia Wanyuan was also shocked. Her petite toes curled up awkwardly, causing Jun Shiling¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple to roll.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jun Shiling deliberately suppressed his impulse and said with an obvious smile.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly switched the camera back. Her originally light-colored ears had turned red. ¡°I identally touched it.¡±

    Jun Shiling finally switched the camera to himself, but Xia Wanyuan did not dare to look straight at his smiling gaze.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s clearly smiling voice sounded. ¡°I don¡¯t think we need to buy ruby earrings.¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t have to buy it in the first ce,¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously retorted.

    ¡°Ruby earrings are not as red as your ears. They¡¯re not worthy,¡± Jun Shiling said leisurely again.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly looked up. Jun Shiling, who was dressed in a sharp suit, had a smile in his eyes.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so free,¡± Xia Wanyuan said with reddened ears. Then, she hung up the phone and did not speak further to Jun Shiling.

    Looking at the video call that he had been hung up on, Jun Shiling¡¯s smile widened and he called Lin Jing.

    ¡°Buy that Carmen ruby from the Supei Auction House.¡±

    On the other end of the line, Xia Wanyuan, who had hung up on Jun Shiling, swam in the pool for a long time without dissipating the heat on her face.

    After swimming for another ten rounds, Nanny Li handed Xia Wanyuan a towel. When she saw the color on her face, Nanny Li was shocked.

    ¡°Madam, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold? Let¡¯s call Doctor Shen overter.¡±

    <i>Oh my god, with how much Young Master doted on his wife, if he came back and saw that his wife was sick under my care, I would probably lose my golden rice bowl.</i>

    Nanny Li fell into a panic because of unemployment.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Nanny Li. I¡¯m just a little warm.¡± Xia Wanyuan helplessly stopped Nanny Li from going to the doctor.

    Nanny Li looked at Xia Wanyuan suspiciously.?<i>It was not a hot spring, so how could a swim be hot?</i>?However, Xia Wanyuan insisted on not looking for a doctor, so Nanny Li listened to her.

    Xia Wanyuan thought that she would not answer Jun Shiling¡¯s call tonight, in case he made fun of her again.

    However, just as she was about to fall asleep, Xia Wanyuan still could not sleep. Her phone rang at the right time. Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression had already returned to normal, as if the person who had teased Xia Wanyuan until her face was flushed wasn¡¯t him.

    ¡°Which story do you want to hear today?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was very maic in the quiet night.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan had always heard stories about characters and legends in the business world. However, today, when Xia Wanyuan thought of how Jun Shiling always teased her, she suddenly had an idea.

    ¡°I want to hear a fairy tale. The kind that belongs to princes and princesses.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s chuckle exploded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

 Chapter 281 - Goodnight, Little Princess

    <h4>Chapter 281: Goodnight, Little Princess</h4>

    His deep and maic voice seemed to have a hook, scratching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear until it was red.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not seem to be at a disadvantage. ¡°Why, don¡¯t you know how to?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan guessed that Jun Shiling would not. After all, the tall and cold Jun Shiling did not match the various fairy tales.

    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have originally, but since you want to listen, I¡¯ll try to tell it.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was filled with deep indulgence and helplessness.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

    Jun Shiling was a very magical person. Even if it was a clich¨¦ story about a prince or princess, he could still tell it with great interest.

    ¡°The little prince has finally saved the princess from the dragon. At their wedding ceremony, seeing the princess¡¯s shy expression, the little prince could not help but ask, ¡®My supreme princess, may I kiss you?''¡±

    It was originally a line from a fairy tale, but when it was read out by Jun Shiling, it had a hint of lingering feeling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s aggressive aura, his strength and passion, and those deliberately suppressed memories were hooked by Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    As Jun Shiling spoke, his voice suddenly lowered. He clearly saw the confusion in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan buried herself in the nket and covered her burning cheeks.

    ¡°Okay, can the little princess sleep now?¡± Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unnatural expression and his eyes were deep.

    ¡°Ok.¡± This ¡°little princess¡± made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears burn even more.

    ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep, while Jun Shiling sat by the window and looked at the bright lights outside. He could not help but miss her.

    It was a good night¡¯s sleep.

    It was a sleepless night.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Hays acted very quickly. Just as the promotional activity ended, they found Chen Yun and Tang Yin and discussed the terms and details of the cooperation.

    Then, the official Weibo ount of Hays posted an official announcement.

    @ Hays Official: ¡°@ Xia Wanyuan, wee the new spokesperson for the China region. I look forward to working together and enjoying the fun together in the future. Every time you celebrate, you will have potato chips apanying you.¡±

    Thepany¡¯s publicity department thought about it again and again. They felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream was already very attractive to people, so they intercepted a video of Xia Wanyuan eating potato chips and matched it with the high-definition microphone that kept her voice and the sounds.

    The satisfied expression on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face when she ate the potato chips matched the crisp sound of her bite. It made everyone salivate.

    [ Why does it smell so good¡­ ]

    [ She¡¯s so cute when she eats. What kind of godly beauty is this? ]

    [ Although you guys always say that Xia Wanyuan is bad in every way, the way she eats is really amazing. I like her so much. ]

    [ I¡¯ll arrange for potato chips soon. I can¡¯t stand this crisp sound anymore. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resources are really doing well now. The first endorsement is Ya Zi, and the second endorsement is Hays. My mother, this starting point is too amazing. ]

    [ After all, Xia Wanyuan is now considered a member of the Jun Corporation. Wasn¡¯t her originalpany acquired by the Jun Corporation? ]

    Although the Jun Corporation had acquired Star Creation Entertainment, this was a business that the subsidiarypany had expanded. To the huge Jun Corporation, it was not worth mentioning, so all the businesses were handled by the subsidiarypany, Da Kun Entertainment.

    CEO Wang, who had been dismissed, had some family connections. After being dismissed by Star Creation Entertainment, he could not take this lying down, so he sent someone to pull some strings and became a higher-up of Star Creation Entertainment.

    His reputation among the celebrities was very bad. Originally, because of his departure and the acquisition of the Jun Corporation, the celebrities who felt that they had finally made it to the end suddenly felt like dark clouds had gathered.

    The entertainment industry was like this. As long as one had the capital, they could do many things. This was also the reason why Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were so bad back then and she could still get those resources. It was because she had the money to throw in.

    ¡°Meeting?¡± It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to have nothing on today and was sunbathing in the courtyard, but Tang Yin called and said that thepany wanted to sign a new contract with the celebrities and meet all the celebrities in thepany.

    Xia Wanyuan tidied up briefly, and Tang Yin and the rest came to pick her up.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at thepany, the usually empty car park was already filled with all sorts of cars.

    Walking into the building, it was as if they had arrived at a ce where handsome men and beautiful women gathered. As expected of the number-one Star Creation Entertainment Company in the industry, it indeed had many celebrities under it.

    Xia Wanyuan looked around and retracted her gaze. However, from the moment Xia Wanyuan walked into the hall, everyone¡¯s gazes were gathered on her.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been an awkward character in Star Creation Entertainment. In the past, she was a wonder who had brought funds into the production team. Basically, no one in thepany looked up to her or brought her along to y.

    The current Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± had a very good reputation. The first endorsement she received was Ya Zi. It was said that she had even epted a spokesperson for Hays. The first album she released had also sold very well. She was simply enviable.

    Everyone curiously sized up the current Xia Wanyuan, who was at the peak of her career, before eximing in their hearts.

    <i>Why do I feel that Xia Wanyuan is much more beautiful than before?</i>

    Everyone in the entertainment industry was good at socializing. Although they were jealous of Xia Wanyuan, they were very passionate on the surface.

    ¡°Wanyuan, long time no see. Let¡¯s go in together.¡± A beautiful woman in a white tight-fitting dress walked towards Xia Wanyuan and reached out to grab her hand.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s memory, there was really no one in thispany who had a good rtionship with her. Hence, Xia Wanyuan turned sideways and walked past Liu Ling¡¯s hand. She did not stop walking forward, leaving Liu Ling awkwardly holding her hand in the air.

    Everyone was already very unhappy with Xia Wanyuan. Seeing her arrogant look, they hated her even more.

    Thinking of the conflict between Xia Wanyuan and CEO Wang, everyone gloated. It seemed like there was going to be a good showter. Hence, they followed Xia Wanyuan and walked towards the meeting room.

    In the hall-like meeting room, the management was already sitting in the first row. Xia Wanyuan had just walked in when she saw a pair of familiar turbid eyes.

    <i>Wang Dong? He could actually work at Star Creation Entertainment?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but she only nced at him once before looking away. The scene of Xia Wanyuan panicking when she saw him did not appear, causing the gloominess in Wang Dong¡¯s eyes to grow.

    In such a meeting, everyone had their own corresponding seats. Tang Yin apanied Xia Wanyuan and searched for a while, but she could not find the ce where Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name was printed. Tang Yin wanted to continue searching, but she was stopped by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You won¡¯t find it.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Most of the people in the hall had already taken their seats. Tang Yin still wanted to go to the other row to see if there was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s seat.

    ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be a seat with my name printed in this ce.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Wang Dong¡¯s smug gaze and knew that he was definitely involved in this matter.

    It was already time for the meeting. Everyone was basically here and they sat at their seats.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan, who was standing in the middle of the meeting room, appeared especially eye-catching. Various gazesnded on her.

    What surprised everyone was that Xia Wanyuan did not throw a tantrum like before. Instead, she was exceptionally calm andposed.

    ¡°Aiyah, what¡¯s wrong with the staff? How could they have missed out on our Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s top actress?¡± Wang Dong spoke at that moment. His mouth was set, and his eyes were filled with smugness. ¡°Quick, bring a chair over for our top actress.¡±

    The staff sent by Da Kun Entertainment to handle thepany¡¯s matters did not know much about Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s situation. Although they felt that Wang Dong¡¯s actions were a little too much, they could not deny that Wang Dong had a very good rtionship with the vice president of Da Kun Entertainment, so they could not say much.

    The staff at the side had long been prepared. They brought in a very short stool that was only half a stool tall.

    ¡°Wanyuan, just suffer for a while. Sigh, you know too that thepany is poor. Because of you, thepany has lost all its assets. We¡¯re really in a shortage of resources. Just make do with it. Ah.¡± Wang Dong gestured for the staff to bring a chair over to Xia Wanyuan.

    The employees moved the stool to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet. Xia Wanyuan looked at the stool and then at the mocking crowd in the meeting room.

    Then, under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, she walked straight to the chair at the front of the meeting room and sat down.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t there another chair here?¡± Xia Wanyuan finally spoke. Her cold voice seemed to cause a snow in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    ¡°Get up quickly. That¡¯s a seat that only the boss of thepany can sit on!¡± Wang Dong was panicking, but he was already smiling in his heart.

    <i>This Xia Wanyuan really did not know the rules.</i>

    In theory, Jun Shiling was the big boss of Star Creation Entertainment that the Jun Corporation had bought over, but how could a person like Jun Shilinge to a Star Creation Entertainment¡¯s meeting?

    Although he would note, they had to leave behind the seat that belonged to him. The centermost seat in the meeting room was reserved for Jun Shiling. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so unruly as to sit in Jun Shiling¡¯s seat directly. Now, without him needing to do anything, the people from Da Kun Entertainment would not let her off easily.

    ¡°Don¡¯t try to be hypocritical. Since you invited us to a meeting, you should know your ce. Stacking the desk against me doesn¡¯t work.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were equivalent to tearing off the cover on her face.

    The onlookers were amused.?<i>This was probably still that arrogant and despotic Xia Wanyuan. She did not give Wang Dong any face.</i>

    Wang Dong did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so direct. He looked at the vice president of Da Kun Entertainment. ¡°Look at this.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve really seen it for myself. Miss Xia, what a big temper you have.¡± The vice president of Da Kun did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so stubborn. ¡°Miss Xia, you might not know this, but the seat you¡¯re sitting in belongs to CEO Jun. Miss Xia, you have no right to sit in it. If you refuse to get up, we can only resort to forceful means.¡±

 Chapter 283 - Can I Hug You?

    <h4>Chapter 283: Can I Hug You?</h4>

    ¡°Then you can try.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a calm expression as if she did not care about the person in front of her at all.

    ¡°Someone, invite Miss Xia out.¡± The vice president of Da Kun called the security in. He emphasized the word ¡®invite¡¯.

    The tall and strong security guards directly entered and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan moved her wrist slightly, and her entire body entered a state of alertness.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not move, the security guard reached out to grab her arm. However, before he could touch her, Xia Wanyuan had already kicked his knee. It was unknown where Xia Wanyuan had kicked, but the security guard felt a numbing sensation in his leg and knelt down.

    Seeing that their partner had been beaten up, and that they had the Vice President¡¯s permission in advance, the others surrounded Xia Wanyuan, wanting to subdue her directly.

    Bang! The door of the meeting room was suddenly opened. Everyone in the room was attracted to the door. Even the security guards¡¯ hands stopped in midair.

    Four men in ck opened the door and stood by the door as if they were opening the way for the person behind them.

    Just as everyone was confused, an extremely handsome and cold face that they had only seen on television news appeared in front of everyone.

    Jun Shiling, who was already exuding a fierce aura, felt the coldness on his body almost materialize when he saw the security guards reaching for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. It was as if des of ice and frost were scraping against everyone present.

    ¡°C-C¡­ CEO¡­ Jun?¡± The vice president of Da Kun was shocked and delighted. As a subsidiary of the Jun Corporation, how could he have the right to see Jun Shiling usually? Now that he had actually seen the living Jun Shiling, he was simply excited.

    Not only him, but everyone present was basically boiling with excitement. On the one hand, everyone was shocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s powerful aura, and on the other hand, they were happy that they had actually seen Jun Shiling with their own eyes.

    Who was Jun Shiling? He was a man who could make the world tremble with a stomp of his feet. If one was lucky enough to be recognized by Jun Shiling, it would be equivalent to soaring into the sky in the entertainment industry.

    Who wouldn¡¯t want such a good thing? The smart female celebrities had already begun to touch up their makeup.

    However, Lin Jing¡¯s words crushed everyone¡¯s hopes.

    ¡°Everyone, leave the meeting room. Wang Dong, the Deputy CEO of Da Kun, Xia Wanyuan, stay behind.¡±

    Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan gloatingly. This person had actually bumped into CEO Jun¡¯s gun. She would probably die miserably.

    Only Tang Yin looked at Jun Shiling in admiration. He came over directly with a call and was so fast and reliable. Since Jun Shiling was here, she was relieved and followed everyone out of the meeting room.

    After Lin Jing said that, everyone quickly packed up and left the meeting room. Soon, there were only five people left in the meeting room.

    ¡°CEO Jun, why did youe to this smallpany? If you have anything to tell us, we can settle it for you directly.¡±

    The vice president and Wang Dong hurriedly stood up and bowed to Jun Shiling, their voices filled with extreme respect and ttery.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you getting up?!¡±

    The vice president was about to wee Jun Shiling to the main seat when he realized that Xia Wanyuan was still sitting steadily on the chair. She didn¡¯t even stand up, so he immediately shouted at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Who are you shouting at?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice sounded behind him, making the vice president tremble in fear. ¡°This little artiste is insensible and is stuck in your seat. I¡¯m lecturing her, CEO Jun, I definitely have no intention of shouting at you.¡±

    When he entered the door just now, Jun Shiling did not dare to look at Xia Wanyuan. He was afraid that he could not help it. Now that everyone had left, Jun Shiling finally looked at Xia Wanyuan carefully.

    <i>She seems to have lost some weight. I have to feed her more.</i>

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was silent for a long time, the vice president and Wang Dong stole a nce at Jun Shiling fearfully. Then, they realized that Jun Shiling, who had just looked like the King of Hell, was now looking gentle.

    The person he was looking at gently was Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting at the head of the table.

    A terrifying thought surged from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, an uncontroble chill arose from within their bodies.

    In the next moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s actions turned the coldness into a monstrous icy wave that almost froze them to death.

    ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Jun Shiling stepped forward and poured Xia Wanyuan a cup of tea. Xia Wanyuan took it naturally and drank it, as if she had practiced this action a thousand times.

    ¡°A little.¡± After drinking a mouthful of tea, the warm tea aroused the hunger in his stomach.

    ¡°You seem to have lost some weight. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to eat.¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up into a smile.

    The vice president and Wang Dong, who had been watching the entire conversation, were stunned.

    Now, they were certain that they had kicked an iron te.?<i>But how could Xia Wanyuan be rted to Jun Shiling?!</i>

    It was only when Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan disappeared from the meeting room that the two of them slowly recovered.

    <i>Wait!!! What did CEO Jun mean by making us watch the entire process?</i>?The two of them felt a chill in the depths of their hearts. The more they knew, the faster they would die.

    Furthermore, the scene of them ganging up to bully Xia Wanyuan was directly encountered by Jun Shiling.

    At the thought of this, their legs turned weak.

    *Oh no, it was really over this time.*The Deputy CEO nced at Wang Dong beside him and was furious.?<i>If not for this personing to give me money, how could I have gotten into such trouble?</i>?He immediately punched Wang Dong.

    Wang Dong was shocked and afraid. He did not react for a moment. The left side of his face was swollen from the Deputy CEO¡¯s punch, but he was not in the mood to argue with the Deputy CEO anymore. This time, he really felt that he was doomed.

    Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling into the car. There was a strange silence in the car.

    The chauffeur in front had learned his lesson. As long as Xia Wanyuan was in the car, the partition would be up, blocking everythingpletely and not giving him any chance to be a third wheel.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze on her, Xia Wanyuan could not help but look up. However, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze burned her. ¡°How did you know I was in thepany?¡±

    ¡°I just got off the ne and received Tang Yin¡¯s message, so I rushed over.¡± There was no one else here. Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept across Xia Wanyuan inch by inch impudently.

    Feeling Jun Shiling¡¯s overwhelming aura around her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart palpitated.

    She had a feeling that Jun Shiling seemed to be more domineering than before when he came back from his business trip. He was like a snow wolf that finally began to show its ws to its prey after lying low for a long time.

    ¡°I was there for two days,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Can I hug you?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words made Xia Wanyuan look up and meet Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle eyes. At that moment, his eyes were filled with seriousness. ¡°I promised youst time that I wouldn¡¯t touch you without your permission. Now, am I allowed to hug you?¡±

 Chapter 284 - Lets Not Get a Divorce, Okay?

    <h4>Chapter 284: Let¡¯s Not Get a Divorce, Okay?</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. The warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes was too hot, causing her to have no choice but to have a thought that made her heart palpitate.

    ¡°You?¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously clenched her fists. Even her breathing stopped for a moment.

    ¡°Can I?¡± Jun Shiling remained sitting straight. No one moved, but his deep eyes were fixed on Xia Wanyuan.

    It was clearly an extremely gentlemanly sentence, but Jun Shiling¡¯s words were extremely aggressive, causing Xia Wanyuan to panic.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flustered expression, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    He did not see any resistance in those clear eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say. The car fell silent for a moment, but Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze on her, as if he had to wait for an answer.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that the best answer was to decline, but she, who had always been decisive, could not say those two simple words.

    The atmosphere in the silent car became even more oppressive.

    Finally, Xia Wanyuan could not hold it in anymore. She looked up with some helplessness. ¡°Just hug me. Stop staring at me like that.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was in front of her, suddenly smiled. He was like a jade tree on the peak of the bright moon. A cool breeze came and scattered flowing light on the ground.

    Jun Shiling rarely smiled, and such a gentle smile was even rarer.

    This was the second time Jun Shiling had smiled like this in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    However, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen such a smile.

    Even Xia Wanyuan, who had never been interested in beauty, was stunned.

    While she was stunned, Jun Shiling had already pulled her into his arms. The familiar scent of pine instantly enveloped Xia Wanyuan.

    When Jun Shiling said that he just wanted to hug her, he really hugged her gently. He did not speak or do anything else.

    From what Xia Wanyuan knew, the previous intimate contacts had somewhat misfired.

    This gentle hug had nothing to do with desire or passion, but it made her feel Jun Shiling¡¯s gentleness more than ever.

    Staying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan could not deny that she felt relieved. There was also a hint of joy that had always been ignored from the bottom of her heart. Now, in this quiet and peaceful car, she had finally captured it.

    ¡°Are you?¡± Xia Wanyuan hesitated to ask the question in her heart.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Jun Shiling replied affirmatively before Xia Wanyuan could finish.

    Through the thin summer shirt, Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling¡¯s strong heartbeat.

    Actually, she was very flustered. She didn¡¯t even know what she was about to ask. Jun Shiling¡¯s ¡°yes¡± made her even more flustered.?<i>Yes what?</i>

    ¡°Let me ask you a question.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded by her ear again. It was maic and numb, dying Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear red.

    ¡°What question?¡±

    ¡°Have you thought of me in the two days I was away on a business trip?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. She had never been a liar.

    In the past two days, of course she thought of Jun Shiling. Many times.

    When no one handed her water, when no one peeled the prawns, when no one blew her hair, when no one shared the difficulties of work with her¡­

    Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a long time and did not speak. The smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes grew.

    He felt that he knew the answer.

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan and looked into her eyes seriously. ¡°Let¡¯s not get a divorce, okay?¡±

 Chapter 285 - I Miss You

    <h4>Chapter 285: I Miss You</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    This time, Xia Wanyuan did not avoid Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    Hence, she saw the burning warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and the gentleness that seeped out of the corners of his eyes.

    All those things that she usually ignored were suddenly connected in her heart.

    ¡°Okay?¡± Jun Shiling asked again. Jun Shiling, who had always been decisive in killing, actually had an imperceptible tremble in his voice.

    He stared intently into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, afraid that he would see a hint of rejection.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± After a moment of silence, Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.

    Xia Wanyuan was not a hesitant person, but at this moment, she could not tell what she was feeling.

    She admitted that she seemed to have unconsciously relied on Jun Shiling, but she did not know how to face this unfamiliar emotion.

    A dim light shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but at least he did not hear any rejection from her. He felt very lucky.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll give you time. Grandpa¡¯s birthday is in half a month. I hope that when the timees, you can congratte him as the real Madam Jun.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Can I hug you again?¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.

    Although Xia Wanyuan stiffened for a moment, she did not reject him. A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you hot?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless. As she hugged him, she could feel the heat from Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling chuckled and ced his hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. He tightened his grip slightly, letting her lean closer to his chest.

    ¡°Can you feel it?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice brushed past Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, causing her to panic for no reason.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.

    ¡°It¡¯s beating very quickly.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling¡¯s heart beating strongly and quickly through the thin summer clothes.

    The presence of this heart was too great. Xia Wanyuan struggled for a while, wanting to get out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°I missed you.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s struggles suddenly stopped. Then, her face rapidly turned red.

    Jun Shiling naturally saw the red tips of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears. This time, he was finally willing to let go of her.

    Jun Shiling took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It seems that I didn¡¯t buy this wrongly. With your red ears, you should be matched with such a ruby.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had yet to recover from Jun Shiling¡¯s series of actions when he teased her again. She could not help but look at him reproachfully, causing Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes to darken instantly.

    After tearing open the veil in front of her, Jun Shiling no longer deliberately hid his strength in front of Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan could easily sense the change in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Afraid that he would say something embarrassing again, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly took the box from him. The moment the box was opened, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up.

    A pair of dark red earringsy quietly in the box. The colors were as gorgeous as fireworks, and the colors that were emitted by the refraction of the corners were dazzling.

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but praise.

    ¡°Do you like it?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I like it too,¡± Jun Shiling said leisurely, his gaze fixed on Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 286 - If You Like It, Ill Give It to You

    <h4>Chapter 286: If You Like It, I¡¯ll Give It to You</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s words had a lingering meaning. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling staring at her.

    ¡°I meant the earrings.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s unfortunate.¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯m talking about you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that she shouldn¡¯t have said that.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have to go to thepany?¡± Jun Shiling had left the Jun Corporation for two days, and things had probably piled up like a mountain.

    ¡°No, I want to apany you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped talking.?<i>I shouldn¡¯t have taken the initiative to talk to Jun Shiling.</i>

    ¡°Do you have anything on this afternoon?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was not talking to him, Jun Shiling could only find a topic.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going to send Xia Yu off. He¡¯s going to join the military.¡±

    After Xia Yu told her the news, she went to check on the information.

    The ¡°Youngster¡± n that Xia Yu had signed up for was the entrance to the military that the second military district of the country used to target students from the higher education institutions.

    It was said that the restrictions were very strict. It was quite amazing that Xia Yu could pass their preliminary screening.

    Xia Yu seemed to have made a huge decision. He had prepared everything before informing Xia Wanyuan. That afternoon was the day Xia Yu left school and went to the training base.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll apany you too. Let¡¯s go back and eat first.¡±

    In the manor, Uncle Wang was surprised to see Jun Shiling getting out of the car.

    In the past European meetings, it would take a week toe back from Europe. It did not make sense for him toe back so early this year.

    Then, Uncle Wang saw Xia Wanyuan getting out of the car behind Jun Shiling.

    <i>Mm, this made sense.</i>

    Uncle Wang continued to water the flowers leisurely.

    At the dining table.

    As usual, Jun Shiling peeled prawns for Xia Wanyuan.

    Before Jun Shiling exposed thisyer of paper, Xia Wanyuan was already used to Jun Shiling¡¯s silent care. In the past, she had never felt that anything was wrong.

    But now, looking at Jun Shiling sitting at the side, his hand that casually signed hundreds of millions of dors, slowly peeling off the prawn shell, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°Does it look good?¡± Jun Shiling chuckled.

    ¡°I¡¯m not looking at you.¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say that you were looking at me.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and waved his wrist, revealing the Patek Philippe on his wrist. ¡°You should be looking at this watch. Do you like it? I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was choked by Jun Shiling¡¯s words. She simply shut her mouth and buried her head in her bowl.

    The fair and tender prawn meat was ced in the bowl. Xia Wanyuan took a bite and picked it up. Beside her was the warm water Jun Shiling had ced for her.

    After the meal, Jun Shiling insisted on going with Xia Wanyuan, who followed him.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Xia Yu, you¡¯re too sudden. You didn¡¯t even give us time to have a farewell meal.¡± Su Mei patted Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder with reluctance in his eyes.

    Two days ago, when they saw Xia Yu saying that he wanted to join the military, they thought that he was joking. Who would have thought that Xia Yu would be serious and leave so suddenly? They were not prepared at all.

    Although they did not have much of a rtionship with Xia Yu when they were in their first year of university and even looked down on him, they had spent all their time together in the same dormitory this semester and had long be close friends.

    Now that Xia Yu had suddenly left, everyone felt a little ufortable.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have holidays. What are you all doing like littledies? Aiyaya, don¡¯t cryter. I won¡¯t lend my shoulders to you.¡±

 Chapter 287 - Jun Shiling Buys a Cake

    <h4>Chapter 287: Jun Shiling Buys a Cake</h4>

    Although Xia Yu sounded indifferent, his eyes were a little red.

    He had not had many friends since he was young. Speaking of which, these roommates were his first true friends, although they had not interacted for long.

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget toe back and visit us when you¡¯re on leave, Brother. When you be an officer, we¡¯ll have the capital to brag when we go out.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t forget toe back and get free food from you on my break.¡±

    At this point, everyone stopped talking. A few pairs of young eyes were filled with reluctance to part with their friend and longing for the future.

    Boys did not show much emotions to each other. Everything was in their hands at that moment.

    ¡°Xia Yu, someone is looking for you in the reception room.¡±

    Just as Xia Yu was chatting with his roommates, someone suddenly called him.

    ¡°My sister is probably here. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± After bidding farewell to his roommate, Xia Yu went to the reception room.

    A few bodyguards stood at the door of the reception room. Seeing Xia Yu walk over, they opened the door.

    Xia Yu walked in. As expected, it was Xia Wanyuan. However, there was Jun Shiling beside her.

    ¡°Sister.¡±

    ¡°Mm, when are you leaving?¡± Looking at her younger brother, who looked a little like her, Xia Wanyuan felt a little reluctant.

    ¡°Fifteen minutester.¡± In the end, Xia Yu was still a child whocked love. It was not easy for him to have a sister who protected him all the time, and now, they were going to separate. Xia Yu, who had a normal expression on his face outside, finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. His eyes were red from grievance.

    ¡°Good luck. I believe you can do it. Call me when you¡¯re on vacation. I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded and suppressed the tears in his eyes.

    The rebellious child with pink hair back then had short hair now. He looked much better than before.

    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll get going then.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xia Yu and walked out the door.

    Xia Yu looked at Jun Shiling with trembling eyes. He had always been afraid of Jun Shiling, but he still mustered some courage.

    ¡°Brother-inw, please take good care of my sister.¡±

    ¡°Of course I will.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and handed Xia Yu a card. ¡°It¡¯s my private phone number. Call me if anything happens over there.¡±

    In fact, if Jun Shiling called, the base would take good care of Xia Yu for Jun Shiling¡¯s sake. However, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Xia Yu suffer some setbacks and exercise. Hence, Jun Shiling did not exchange greetings with anyone.

    In Xia Yu¡¯s resume, he was a simple college student who had some money at home and ;ater went bankrupt.

    ¡°Thank you, Brother-inw.¡± Xia Yu took the card and ced it in his pocket before turning around to return to the team.

    ¡°Don¡¯t disappoint her.¡±

    Xia Yu stopped in his tracks.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Yu replied without turning around and left the reception room.

    On the way back, Xia Wanyuan felt a little down. Halfway through the car, she saw the cake shop outside the car window. Jun Shiling got the chauffeur to stop the car.

    Coincidentally, it was the same one that he had bought red velvet from thest time.

    It was afternoon tea time and there were many people in the shop. A few tall bodyguards suddenly appeared in the noisy hall. Everyone looked over in confusion and saw Jun Shiling, who only existed in legends.

    !!!!!!!!!!

    At that moment, everyone was equally shocked and surprised. When they reacted, they hurriedly picked up their phones and snapped photos.

    Just as Jun Shiling was walking towards the single-stage counter from the door, photos of Jun Shiling had already spread all over the Inte.

    Jun Shiling had always kept a low profile, and it was rare to see his photos online. That photo on the rich rankings was one of the few photos that had been circted by Jun Shiling.

    [ Oh my god! I¡¯m too satisfied! I saw so many pictures of my husband at one go. ]

    [ I think it¡¯s that same cake shop again. What good luck is this? Every time Jun Shiling goes, the sales of this shop will at least increase three times. ]

    [ This long leg, this appearance, this aura¡­ Ah, I¡¯m dead. Even through the screen, I can¡¯t block his heaven-defying CEO aura. ]

    [ This is simply the CEO himself who walked out of a novel. Jun Shiling simply increased my aesthetic standards for men by himself. ]

    [ Alright, I have material for dreaming tonight. I¡¯ve decided to dream and date this man tonight. ]

    ¡°Excuse me, is there a slightly sweet cake?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded at the front desk, instantly dyeing the faces of the receptionists red.

    ¡°This strawberry Brownie is our new product. It¡¯s sweet but not greasy. You can try it.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll have this one then.¡± Jun Shiling pointed at the cake of the pink elf in the window.

    The cake shop owner personally packed the cake for Jun Shiling, then Jun Shiling carried the pink box and left the cake shop under the gazes of the entire shop.

    The cake shop was familiar this time. As soon as Jun Shiling left the cake shop, the manager immediately arranged for someone to write the ¡°Same strawberry Brownie as Jun Shiling¡± sign and hung it in the shop.

    It triggered a new wave of sales.

    [ Such a handsome man looks so handsome even with a pink Barbie box. I¡¯m crying. Why isn¡¯t such a handsome man mine? ]

    [ I really want to know if he ate it himself or bought it for his wife? Speaking of which, who is Jun Shiling¡¯s wife? I see that the Inte keeps saying that he dotes on his wife or something, but why haven¡¯t I seen any photos of his wife? ]

    [ Jun Shiling has never said that he has a wife. In the interview a year ago, he even said that he doesn¡¯t have a family. ]

    [ Emmmm, then where did his sone from? ]

    [ Damn, I guess he had a one-night stand with someone and got a son. He must have given his biological mother arge sum of money to buy off her son. ]

    [ How do you know so much, the person in front? Did you lie under their bed and listen? ]

    [ I saw it in novels. Isn¡¯t that what¡¯s written in novels? ]

    [ Haha¡­ But ording to what you¡¯re saying, do I have a chance to be his son¡¯s stepmother again? If Jun Shiling doesn¡¯t have a wife, then did he buy the cake for himself? My god, CEO Jun who likes to eat pink cakes. Why do I think he¡¯s so cute because of that?]

    The discussion online about who Jun Shiling¡¯s wife was continued, but it had nothing to do with Jun Shiling.

    He carried the box and sat in the car for a while. He opened the cake box and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I heard it¡¯s a new product. Try it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it, scooped a spoonful, and tasted it. Her brows rxed a little.

    After a while, more than half of the small box of cake had gone down. Jun Shiling looked up at Xia Wanyuan and suddenly smiled.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked curiously.

 Chapter 288 - Who Asked Me to Like You

    <h4>Chapter 288: Who Asked Me to Like You</h4>

    Jun Shiling smiled and tapped the corners of his lips. Xia Wanyuan understood and picked up a tissue to wipe it.

    However, Jun Shiling had chosen the lower right corner. Xia Wanyuan had wiped the lower left corner. A cream the size of a rice grain still lingered by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips.

    When Xia Wanyuan ate the cake, she first scooped a mouthful of it on the spoon, then gently rolled it up and sipped the cake.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened as he watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nimble tongue slice across the spoon. His throat bobbed.

    ¡°Is it sweet?¡± Jun Shiling suddenly asked.

    ¡°Sweet.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. It was sweet but not greasy. It was still quite delicious.

    ¡°Let me try it.¡±

    After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he approached Xia Wanyuan. He was already sitting very close to Xia Wanyuan, so he turned slightly. Before Xia Wanyuan could react, he took the small piece of cream from the corner of her lips.

    Jun Shiling sat back down and pursed his lips. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s indeed very sweet.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was holding the spoon was stunned. There seemed to be a hint of sensation at the corners of her lips. It was like a piece of flint, burning the corners of her lips.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say if you didn¡¯t have my permission¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was embarrassed.?<i>This person had only gone out for a trip. Why has he be like this now?</i>

    ¡°I just tasted the cake. Do I need your permission to eat a cake in the future?¡± Jun Shiling looked a little surprised and troubled. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible. Just be strict on me if you want. Who asked me to like you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. She didn¡¯t know if it was because of Jun Shiling¡¯s powerful logical ability to distort the truth or because of that sentence ¡°Who asked me to like you?¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rare stunned expression, the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes finally leaked.

    Xia Wanyuan was both embarrassed and angry. After Jun Shiling came back from a trip, he had be increasingly fond of teasing her.

    Xia Wanyuan was extremely embarrassed and angry, but she calmed down. ¡°Is the dignified CEO Jun of the Jun Corporation so free to tease people?¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow. He was furious.

    ¡°I only see who it is, not what it is.¡±

    His business depended on who the person was.

    Xia Wanyuan naturally understood what he meant, but to Jun Shiling¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan was not as embarrassed as before. Instead, her expression was very calm.

    Putting down the spoon in her hand, Xia Wanyuan sat closer to Jun Shiling.

    The two of them were already very close to each other. Now, they were practically sitting together.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡°You?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s tie towards her. Even Jun Shiling was pulled extremely close by her, and their breathing intertwined.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing instantly became heavier.

    Xia Wanyuan blew gently at Jun Shiling. The faint smell of strawberries mixed with the sweetness of the cream instantly filled the small space between the two of them. The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of charm. ¡°Is it sweet?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s rxed body stiffened immediately. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were as dark as the night before the storm. It was as if he wanted to suck her in.

    Jun Shiling looked at the flushed face close to him, and his gaze instantly turned domineering. Even Xia Wanyuan, who had started first, was shocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s domineering gaze.

    Jun Shiling leaned over to snatch the sweetness, but Xia Wanyuan raised her hand to stop him.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s entire body seemed to be on fire. He passed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and was about to kiss her.

    Bang! Bang! Bang! The door of the car was knocked on, and Xiao Bao¡¯s childish voice sounded outside the door. ¡°Mommy, Daddy, you¡¯re back!!! Come out, Mommy! I missed you!!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and pushed Jun Shiling away. ¡°We¡¯re home, CEO Jun.¡± There was a hint of smugness in her eyes, making her look delicate and lively.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the car door. Xiao Bao opened his big eyes and happily hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thigh. ¡°Mommy, I missed you so much!¡±

    ¡°Good boy, I missed you too.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Mommy, didn¡¯t Uncle Wang say that Daddy is back too? Why didn¡¯t Daddy get out of the car?¡± Although he was usually an expert at scamming his father, Xiao Bao still missed him very much after not seeing Jun Shiling for two days.

    ¡°Your father? I don¡¯t know. Maybe he¡¯s busy with work. Let¡¯s go in first.¡± When Xiao Bao mentioned Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan recalled Jun Shiling¡¯s surprised and helpless expression when she got out of the car and felt amused.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although he could not see his father, he did not need to see him with his mother around!!! Xiao Bao happily pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand into the house.

    In the car, Jun Shiling massaged his temples helplessly and nced down.

    <i>I was just asking for trouble.</i>

    Jun Shiling rolled down the car window and sat in the car for a full twenty minutes before the heat on his body slowly dissipated.

    When Jun Shiling entered the house, Xiao Bao was squatting on the ground, ying with the ne Jun Shiling had brought back from France.

    Hearing footsteps, Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Jun Shiling¡¯s helpless and indulgent gaze. Her face heated up, and she looked away.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Ever since Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount had posted a videost time and had attracted millions of fans, there had been no more activity.

    Theizens who hade for the sake of learning painting and calligraphy were anxious when they saw that this mysterious master had not updated for a long time. They all leftments on Weibo, hoping that the master could show off a little to the public and let everyone learn.

    Even Chen Yun and Tang Yin did not know that this mysterious painter, who had a great reputation in the domestic art world, was Xia Wanyuan. The ount Yuan Wanxia was also personally managed by Xia Wanyuan.

    Normally, she rarely read Weibo, but today, after Jun Shiling said that earth-shattering cake tasting theory, Xia Wanyuan did not want to bother with Jun Shiling for the entire afternoon.

    Hence, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount was finally recalled by her. She clicked on it and saw that it was filled withments backstage.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that in fact, this era did notck traditions as much as she had imagined. Many people still liked these cultures that had been passed down for a thousand years.

    Xia Wanyuan simply entered the study, took out ink, paper, and inkstones, and recorded a slower teaching video for theizens.

    Over the years, the country¡¯s traditional culture had gradually disappeared. One of the reasons was that the price of being able to hire a professional master to teach painting and calligraphy was not cheap. Many people wanted to learn it, but they could not do so.

    Some video websites had free teaching videos, but the quality was uneven. Many people wanted to learn but could not find a way.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount, which had not been updated for a long time, suddenly had a new update. Everyone clicked on it curiously.

    <i>Hey! Master¡¯s teaching for free!! Learn it!</i>

    Everyone followed Yuan Wanxia¡¯s video and finished drawing it. Then, they uploaded the photos for Yuan Wanxia toment on.

    Xia Wanyuan was flipping through the ¡°homework¡± that theizens had posted when a key suddenly appeared in front of her.

 Chapter 289 - The Wei Family in Beijing

    <h4>Chapter 289: The Wei Family in Beijing</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. Jun Shiling had entered the study at some point in time and was holding a ck car key.

    ¡°Come out, I have a gift for you.¡± Jun Shiling handed the car keys to Xia Wanyuan and walked out the door. Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling out.

    A silver-gray sports car with a scientific appearance was parked in the courtyard.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a lot of cars in the garage?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the keys in her hand.?<i>This car was probably for me.</i>

    ¡°This model is limited edition, the only one in the world. Go and try it.¡±

    Lin Jing was still very efficient. In such a short time, he had brought this car back to China from abroad.

    The world¡¯s limited edition ¡°Angel¡¯s Wings¡± was created with the most cutting-edge technology. Xia Wanyuan sat on it and tried it. It felt pretty good.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

    She knew that Jun Shiling treated her very well.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. As long as you¡¯re willing to pay attention to me.¡± Jun Shiling was very happy to see that Xia Wanyuan liked this car.

    As long as she liked it, he would give her the best of anything.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and watched a video. An unfamiliar call from Beijing came in.

    ¡°Hello?¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Hello, is this Xia Wanyuan?¡± The tone on the other end of the line was very arrogant.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m the butler of the Wei family. The Wei family¡¯s banquet is next Tuesday night. I informed you toe and attend.¡± After speaking, the other party hung up the phone without waiting for Xia Wanyuan to reply.

    Xia Wanyuan held her phone and frowned slightly.

    <i>The Wei family? What did the Wei family banquet have to do with me?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan searched her mind but could not find any connection between the Wei family and her.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked to the study.?<i>It was better to ask Jun Shiling.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Wei Family Vi

    ¡°What do you think the Old Madam is thinking? Third Miss has already cut ties with the Wei family for so many years and she¡¯s already dead. Why did she bring Third Miss¡¯s daughter back now?¡±

    ¡°I heard that Third Miss¡¯s daughter is an arrogant and despotic straw bag. Who knows what Old Madam wants?¡±

    ¡°Are you done informing them? Quick, we have to specially go to the eldest branch to send the invitationter.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve informed her. Damn, she¡¯s just a little celebrity who has never experienced the world. She must be so happy to know that she can attend the Wei family¡¯s banquet.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the study, Jun Shiling was listening to his subordinates report on work.

    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from the video call. Everyone tacitly shut their mouths.

    It was obvious who the person who dared to knock on the door during Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting was.

    As expected, everyone saw the expressionless and cold Jun Shiling soften his eyes instantly. There was even a smile on his face.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled again.

    ¡°Hand the rest of the work to Lin Jing,¡± Jun Shiling said briefly to the screen and hung up.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling stepped forward and opened the door for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Do you know the Wei family in Beijing?¡±

    ¡°The Wei family?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°This is a very old family, but they¡¯re very powerful and can be considered one of the top three families in China. Why are you suddenly asking about this?¡±

    ¡°Someone called me just now and asked me to attend the Wei family banquet.¡±

    <i>Family banquet?</i>

    Hearing this word, Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll get someone to investigate.¡±

 Chapter 290 - The Jun Family Is Yours

    <h4>Chapter 290: The Jun Family Is Yours</h4>

    ¡°You¡¯re saying that I¡¯m the granddaughter of the Wei family?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise.

    In the original owner of the body¡¯s memory, her mother was a good-looking ordinary person. It was said that she had started from scratch with Xia Yuanqing. How could she be associated with the Wei family?

    ¡°Yes. Back then, your mother cut ties with the Wei family and hid her identity. Later on, she married your father. Even your father did not know that your mother was the younger daughter of the Wei family.¡±

    ¡°Since we haven¡¯t seen each other in so many years, why are they asking me to attend a family banquet?¡±

    ¡°The Wei family¡¯s master has abdicated. In the past few years, he has been looking for a sessor. This family banquet should have invited all the direct descendants of the Wei family. You¡¯re one of them.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not interested in being the sessor of the Wei family. ¡°Then I won¡¯t be going.¡±

    ¡°Mm, don¡¯t go then. Anyway, the Jun family is yours. You don¡¯t need to care about the Wei family.¡± Jun Shiling smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling helplessly.?<i>Since when did the Jun family belong to me?</i>

    ¡°As Madam Jun, the Jun family is yours,¡± Jun Shiling added as if he knew what Xia Wanyuan was thinking. His deep gaze made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heat up.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to look for Xiao Bao.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked out the door. Jun Shiling didn¡¯t stop her, his eyes smiling.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± developed to theter stages, and the results became better and better. Although the news of Ruan Yingyu being involved in drugs made everyone feel that the cute little junior sister in the drama was very inappropriate, it was a good thing that this was a major male lead drama.

    Lin Xiao¡¯s character stood still, and the special effects followed. The number of people who liked to watch increased, and the discussion on the Inte continued to increase.

    Furthermore, although no one could eat the pair of Eldest Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister anymore, the pair of Eldest Senior Brother and the Princess of the deceased country was delicious!!

    Later on, Shen Pei kept meeting Lin Xiao in the name of exchanging news. Even a small interaction between the two of them made many fans excited.

    Furthermore, with the beauty of Xia Wanyuan and Qin Wu,

    In the drama, the Heavenly Spirit Princess yed by Xia Wanyuan had a deep love for Qin Wu. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were good, and she acted out that deep love that wanted to speak but did not stop. Many fans transferred the feelings in the drama to the outside world.

    The rumors that Xia Wanyuan had a crush on Qin Wu gradually spread among the fans. Everyone dug out many scenes and variety shows from the production team and could see the interaction between Xia Wanyuan and Qin Wu.

    Then, they tried to pry it open. Something was wrong.

    [ Emmmm, are you sure that Xia Wanyuan has a crush on Qin Wu? Why do I feel like Qin Wu likes Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ I think so too. That evading gaze¡­ F*ck¡­ Has my idol been snatched away just like that? ]

    [ This couple is a little delicious. Qin Wu is so handsome and his acting skills are so good. Xia Wanyuan is also good-looking andpatible with him. ]

    [ Don¡¯t bother with Qin Wu. Qin Wu is uniquely beautiful. Is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans toxic? Either they have a crush on this male celebrity every day or that male celebrity has a crush on Xia Wanyuan. Why, is Xia Wanyuan RMB?? How annoying. ]

    [ The person in front, which eye of yours saw that it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans who were saying that Qin Wu had a crush on Xia Wanyuan? Can¡¯t you see that it was all passers-by who were talking? Why are you making it seem as if someone has taken a fancy to your Qin Wu? Perhaps it¡¯s your Qin Wu who¡¯s chasing someone. ]

    [¡­¡­.]

    While the passers-by were still eating melon seeds, the fans had already started a huge battle.

    The drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± gradually came to an end.

    Beside the cliff that was surging with clouds, Shen Pei, who was dressed in in clothes, was handing the map of the city to Lin Xiao.

    ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Lin Xiao cupped his fists in thanks.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Shen Pei looked into Lin Xiao¡¯s eyes, which were filled with sorrow and love. ¡°Young Master, take care of yourself on your trip.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your concern. I¡¯ll take care of myself. The city is really dangerous. Are you willing to leave with us?¡± How could Lin Xiao not understand the love in Shen Pei¡¯s eyes? However, he already had a junior sister who was his childhood sweetheart. He couldn¡¯t let her down.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. I grew up in this city since I was young. Even if I die, I will die here.¡± Shen Pei looked at Tian Ying Er, who was riding on a horse not far away. ¡°I wish Young Master happiness andfort.¡±

    After speaking, Shen Pei turned around and left, walking towards the city that had trapped her forever.

    Lin Xiao raised his hand, but he did not stop Shen Pei.

    [ Sigh, I feel so ufortable. I¡¯m crying to death. Lin Xiao, stop her! ]

    [ The love in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes is simply too much. Don¡¯t tell me she really likes Qin Wu? ]

    [ I just came back from Weibo. Perhaps Qin Wu likes Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ The person in front, stop ying. ]

    [ It¡¯s starting again¡­ I just came out of Weibo. It¡¯s so noisy over there. Why is it so noisy watching a drama? It¡¯s so annoying. Can you fans do something else? ]

    Thements were noisy, but the plot at the end of the drama was too hot-blooded and passionate. Everyone quarreled and was attracted by the plot again. They quietly watched how Young Master defended the world.

    However, things were not as peaceful on Weibo. Qin Wu¡¯s fans, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, and the two CP fans were in a heated argument. At that moment, a picture of a marketing ount intercepted everyone¡¯s attention and temporarily stopped the dispute.

    @ Scratchboy: ¡°Erm, I think the CP you guys kowtowed to was fake. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s really here.¡±

    There was a screenshot attached. An ount named ¡°Sheng¡± on Weibo was basically filled with reposts of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s drama and likes for all sorts of beautiful photos of her.

    [ What? A fan ount? No logic. ]

    [ What real CP? Isn¡¯t this just an ordinary fan ount? I can¡¯t tell what¡¯s wrong. ]

    [ I went to search for this ount and then I came back with an entire melon field. What the heck!!!! @ Sheng, no need to thank the Teleport Portal. ]

    Theizens followed the portal this person had given them and entered this Weibo ount named ¡°Sheng¡±.

    On the verification of Weibo, it said, ¡°CEO of Glory World Corporation.¡±

    [????? Is there a problem with me or the world? ]

    [ Who¡¯s the CEO of Glory World Corporation? Could he be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s godfather? How old must he be to be the CEO of Glory World Corporation? Eh? ]

    [ The person who said godfather, you¡¯re so funny. Picture jpg, let me show you. This is the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. ]

    [ F*ck??? Is this evil handsome man serious? Is this the crown prince of Glory World Corporation? I don¡¯t read much, don¡¯t lie to me. ]

    [ Look at Baidu Encyclopedia and you¡¯ll know. The crown prince of Glory World Corporation is indeed Xuan Sheng. He¡¯s the investment genius who rose to fame on Erhua Street a few years ago. ]

 Chapter 291 - Possessiveness

    <h4>Chapter 291: Possessiveness</h4>

    Seeing this picture and thinking of the nickname of an investment genius, someizens recalled that when Elder Zhong was giving a lecture, Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng seemed to have appeared on the same stage.

    Everyone dug out the photos from back then. Xuan Sheng, who was dressed in an official suit, could not hide the sinister look in his eyes. He sat together with Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a short skirt that exuded elegance and elegance. For some reason, it made one¡¯s imagination run wild.

    [ F*ck¡­ When Young Master Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan, those peach blossom-shaped eyes were gone. ]

    [ Evil big shot and elegant female celebrity¡­ Why do I feel that they look a little good? ]

    [ From the way Xuan Sheng smiles at Xia Wanyuan and with the experience of me stanning couples, this is love! ]

    [ Xuan Sheng is the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. Ignoring the fact that Xia Wanyuan is a C-list small actress, even if she¡¯s just an A-list big shot, she doesn¡¯t have the right to be Xuan Sheng¡¯s girlfriend, okay? What love? It¡¯s just a money and lust scheme. ]

    [ I heard from the people in the industry that Xuan Sheng¡¯s image is very bad in private. I heard that he¡¯s extremely brutal. Perhaps Xia Wanyuan really did a deal with him. No wonder Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resources have been so good recently. So she has hooked up with the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. ]

    [ There¡¯s no need to say that¡­ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are not bad. That potato chip advertisement is also very delicious. You think that women rely on men to climb up the ranks easily. There must be something wrong with your brains. ]

    The trending topic ¡°Xuan Sheng Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship¡± quickly climbed to the top of the trending topic.

    Many people were not familiar with Xuan Sheng, but Glory World Corporation was too famous in China. After being crowned the prince of Glory World, everyone¡¯s interest in this trending topic increased.

    When everyone clicked on the trending topic, they were first shocked by the title of the Crown Prince of Glory World. It was the rtionship entanglement of a rich second-generation heir. Then, they saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s photo.

    Okay, a super rich and handsome rtionship entanglement.

    Then, they looked at the female lead who had a scandal with him.

    Everyone was confused.

    After all, these two people werepletely unrted to everyone.

    On the trending topic, everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan was just a little celebrity who had been kept by Xuan Sheng for fun. After all, the difference in their statuses was too great.

    Xuan Sheng had always acted as he pleased. He casually reposted Weibo for shows that he liked to watch for Xia Wanyuan. If he liked to look at photos, he would casually Like them. Unknowingly, he did not realize that his personal Weibo was already filled with Xia Wanyuan.

    It was only when his assistant came over that he realized what had happened on Weibo.

    When he clicked on the trending topic, they were almost all insults to Xia Wanyuan. Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom-shaped eyes were filled with coldness as he posted his first original Weibo post in a long time.

    @ Sheng: ¡°I don¡¯t have a rtionship. I¡¯m just following celebrities normally. I haven¡¯t even added Miss Xia¡¯s WeChat yet.¡±

    [????????]

    [ Does the crown prince of Glory World Corporation need to chase celebrities? ]

    [ I admit that I¡¯m jealous. What kind of magical person is Xia Wanyuan? She actually made my husbande out specially to rify and even said that he was her fan. ]

    [ Hey, hey, hey. The person in front is too much. Show some respect. Don¡¯t call him husband. Xuan Sheng is my boyfriend. Can you not talk nonsense? If you do this, he will coax me for a long time when hees home. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t the main point that Young Master Xuan doesn¡¯t even have Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat?? Impressive. I suddenly feel that Xia Wanyuan has a personality. ]

    [ I¡¯m sorry, I think this CP is a little good. I¡¯ll be respectful first and wait for Young Master Xuan to seed in chasing celebrities online. ]

    At the same time, a CP named ¡°The Great Summer[1] Pact¡± secretly opened.

    When Lin Jing walked into the office, he surprisingly saw that Jun Shiling was not working but looking at his phone with a frown.

    Seeing Lin Jing enter, Jun Shiling handed the phone to him. ¡°What does this mean?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry and did not know much about the actions of the industry.

    Lin Jing leaned over to take a look. The words ¡°The Great Summer Pact¡± were hanging on the screen. Lin Jing swiped it twice and saw the photo of Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng sitting side by side.

    ¡­..

    At this moment, the omnipotent Special Assistant Lin still disyed the value of his annual sry of ten million dors.

    ¡°This is a type of fan behavior that is popr in the entertainment industry nowadays. For the Great Sumer Pact, the Great represented Xuan Sheng, while the Summer represented Madam. The fans formed this couple¡¯s chat.¡± As Lin Jingyue spoke, his voice became softer.

    Because he saw that Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was getting colder.

    Xia Wanyuan had also learned about this farce on the Inte from Tang Yin. Xia Wanyuan did not care about this. Anyway, the thoughts in the hearts of the fans could not affect her real life.

    However, when she saw Jun Shiling return to the manor with a cold expression, Xia Wanyuan actually felt a hint of guilt.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to speak to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly.

    Xia Wanyuan found it funny. She had interacted with Jun Shiling for so long, so she naturally felt that Jun Shiling was sulking.

    Jun Shiling went straight to the study on the second floor and did note down until dinner time.

    ¡°Madam, Young Master said that he¡¯s busy with work and doesn¡¯t want to eat. He asked you to eat first.¡± Uncle Wang went to the study and went downstairs helplessly. Then, he added, ¡°Young Master also reminded you not to eat cold food.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been on her period for the past two days, and her stomach always hurt a little. Even though Jun Shiling was sulking, he did not forget to care about her. A warm feeling shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Got it. Uncle Wang, go ahead and do your work. I¡¯ll send the food upter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Uncle Wang nodded and walked away. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, he was relieved. In any case, only Madam could treat Young Master now.

    Jun Shiling sat in the study, the possessiveness that kept colliding with his chest making him want to announce to the world immediately that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife, and not any messy Great Summer Pact.

    However, his rationality told him that once he announced it now, his overwhelming power would be a weapon to hurt Xia Wanyuan. In the eyes of others, all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s efforts would be bubbles. Others would only say that she, Xia Wanyuan, relied on Jun Shiling to have everything.

    He wanted everyone to see her radiance and did not want to be the dark clouds above her head.

    The thought of announcing it immediately in his heart was gradually suppressed. He could not give everyone a chance to criticize her because of his private thoughts.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished her meal, she picked up some of Jun Shiling¡¯s favorite dishes and walked into the study.

    ¡°CEO Jun, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and ced the food in front of him.

    ¡°I¡¯m not happy.¡±

    [1] ¡®Great Summer¡¯ in Chinese is ¡®Sheng Xia¡¯ which is abination of Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s names.

 Chapter 292 - Coax Me

    <h4>Chapter 292: Coax Me</h4>

    Xia Wanyuanughed. Of course, she could tell that he was unhappy. His face, which was usually cold, now looked as if he had walked around in the cold winter.

    ¡°Eat first. Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the chopsticks to Jun Shiling.

    However, Jun Shiling did not reach out to take it. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry. I¡¯m already full from the vinegar [1. ¡®Vinegar¡¯ and ¡®jealousy¡¯ shared the same Chinese character, so this is a pun.].¡±

    Xia Wanyuan really couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a Great Summer Pact? Fans¡¯ hobbies. You¡¯re angry about this too?¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was already furious, felt even worse when he heard the words ¡®Great Summer Pact¡¯. ¡°You¡¯re still mentioning it??¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, I won¡¯t mention it. Then what will it take for you to eat? If I starve CEO Jun to death, I won¡¯t be able to bear the responsibility.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat beside Jun Shiling with a smile.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and said leisurely, ¡°Coax me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Ever since Jun Shiling exposed thatyer of paper window, Xia Wanyuan felt that not only had he be more possessive, but he had also be more childish.

    ¡°Are you Xiao Bao? You want me to coax you?¡± Xia Wanyuan widened her eyes slightly as she looked at Jun Shiling.

    However, Jun Shiling seemed to have hardened his heart. He just did not take the chopsticks from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. His eyes drooped slightly, and there was actually a hint of grievance.

    ¡­

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to just get up and leave, but just as Jun Shiling cared about her, she knew that Jun Shiling had always lived a disciplined life. Now that he hadn¡¯t eaten dinner, his stomach must be feeling terrible.

    Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment, then picked up her chopsticks, picked up an egg, and brought it to Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth. ¡°Eat quickly.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling look up, the smile in his eyes bright. He lowered his head slightly and bit down on the egg.

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious. This is the most delicious egg I¡¯ve ever eaten,¡± Jun Shiling swallowed the egg and said to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling reproachfully, then picked up a piece of pork rib and fed it to him.

    After Jun Shiling finished eating, Xia Wanyuan was about to pick up more food when Jun Shiling took her chopsticks.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already been coaxed.¡± Jun Shiling turned his head and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I can¡¯t bear to make you suffer.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Facing Jun Shiling¡¯s asional sweet words, Xia Wanyuan already had some initial resistance. Now, she could basically ignore them.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was willing to eat, Xia Wanyuan prepared to go out.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go. Stay with me.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to get up, Jun Shiling stopped her. ¡°I¡¯ll still be unhappy if you don¡¯t apany me.¡±

    Even though she knew that Jun Shiling was teasing her, Xia Wanyuan still softened her heart and sat back on the sofa.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s indulgence towards him, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he ced a bitter melon in his mouth.

    <i>Mm, so sweet.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Wanyuan, did you get into trouble?¡±

    On Tuesday afternoon, Xia Wanyuan was practicing calligraphy in the study when the phone rang. As soon as Xia Wanyuan picked up the call, Tang Yin¡¯s worried voice came from the phone.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

    ¡°A group of people ran to our studio just now and are still standing here. They specifically said that they wanted to see you and didn¡¯t say anything when I asked them. They only said that they were from the Wei family and said that they wouldn¡¯t leave if you didn¡¯te.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan paused.?<i>The Wei family?</i>

    ¡°I¡¯lle over now.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan grabbed the car keys on the table and went out the door.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin were surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards, and they were very flustered in their hearts. They hoped that Xia Wanyuan would be smarter and note alone.?<i>Who knew what these people were doing?</i>

    Then, they saw an extremely eye-catching gray sports car stop in front of the door.

    Xia Wanyuan walked down alone.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

 Chapter 293 - Wei Family Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 293: Wei Family Banquet</h4>

    ¡­

    <i>Little ancestor, we know that you¡¯re bold, but you don¡¯t have to be so bold. Aren¡¯t you afraid that something will happen to you alone? How are we going to exin this to Master Junter?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door of the studio and a group of tall bodyguards looked at her.

    A middle-aged man beside her was first shocked when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance. Then he stood up and walked to her side.

    ¡°You¡¯re Xia Wanyuan?¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s tone was probing.

    ¡°I¡¯ll count to three. If your people don¡¯t get out of here, you have to deal with the consequences.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the bodyguards in the house. There was a coldness in her voice and the aura emanating from her body shocked the middle-aged man.

    <i>I had only seen such a strong aura from the Old Madam. How could such a small celebrity have such an aura?</i>

    ¡°Three, two.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice sounded.

    The middle-aged man¡¯s rationality told him that there was nothing to be afraid of since she was just a little girl. However, when he met that pair of cold eyes, he subconsciously listened to her orders.

    ¡°You guys go out first.¡± He could not help but wave his hand for the bodyguards to leave.

    ¡°Miss¡­ Xia?¡± The middle-aged man wanted to call Xia Wanyuan, but under her aura, he actually could not bring himself to do so.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan was worried about what these people would do to Tang Yin and the rest. She drove very quickly the entire way, and she was a little thirsty now.

    The middle-aged man was used to serving the olddy. Now that he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, he knew that she wanted to drink water. The middle-aged man subconsciously wanted to pour tea for Xia Wanyuan.

    He had already taken a step forward when he recalled that the person in front of him had no right to make him pour tea.

    He looked at Chen Yun and Tang Yin. Xia Wanyuan waved her hand and dismissed the two of them. Only then did the middle-aged man go forward and continue, ¡°It¡¯s like this. You¡¯re the daughter of Third Miss Wei and can be considered a member of the Wei family. I invite you to attend the Wei family banquet tonight.¡±

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan was not surprised by his words at all. Furthermore, she did not show any joy at being able to attend the Wei family¡¯s banquet.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The middle-aged man found it even more strange.?<i>If ordinary people could build a rtionship with the branch of the Wei family, they would already feel that they were climbing up the socialdder, let alone the family banquet of the Wei family. This was a qualification that many people in the high society could not snatch even if they fought to the death. How could someone reject it?!</i>

    ¡°You can leave now. I said I¡¯m not going.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea, her bearing indescribably noble.

    ¡°Let me report it. Please wait a moment.¡± The middle-aged man walked to the side and called the courtyard.

    ¡°Old Madam, Butler Zeng called.¡± In the quiet courtyard, the maid handed the phone to a white-haired old man.

    ¡°Speak.¡± An old but dignified voice sounded over the phone. Butler Zeng was filled with respect.

    ¡°Old Madam, Miss Xia is unwilling to attend the banquet.¡± Hearing Butler Zeng address Xia Wanyuan, the old madam¡¯s eyes shed. Butler Zeng had been by the old madam¡¯s side for many years and had a high status. Yesterday, he had still addressed Xia Wanyuan by her name, but today, it was with honorifics.

    Xia Wanyuan had finished a cup of tea when the middle-aged man finished his call.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave when the butler¡¯s voice sounded behind her. ¡°Miss Xia, our Old Madam said that your mother should have inheritance rights. Are you going to give up this power on your mother¡¯s behalf?¡±

    Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks. In fact, this world had nothing to do with her, but she and the Xia Wanyuan a thousand yearster were fated.

    If it was her, she would definitely not be interested in the so-called inheritance of the Wei family. However, she had upied someone else¡¯s body and it was only right to help her take back everything that belonged to her mother.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had indeed stopped as expected, the butler walked forward. ¡°Come with me, Miss Xia.¡±

    ¡°Where is the address? I¡¯ll go there myselfter.¡± Xia Wanyuan came in a hurry. She casually wore her home clothes and left the house. It was not appropriate to attend the banquet like this.

    ¡°You cane with me directly¡­¡± Butler Zeng was halfway through his sentence when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze that did not allow for negotiation. His heart turned cold and he swallowed his words. ¡°The Clear Wind Courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. The time is at seven o¡¯clock at night. Don¡¯t bete.¡±

    After the butler finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan left the office.

    Butler Zeng shook his head as he watched Xia Wanyuan leave.?<i>It was too strange.</i>

    The entrance to the beautiful courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing was already filled with all sorts of luxury cars.

    The Wei family was an old family that had been passed down since the Qing Dynasty. The family rules were strict. Many people came to the courtyard, but they were rtively quiet, except for some who whispered secretly.

    ¡°Sister, are all the people from the main branch here today? I heard that Wei Shu¡¯s daughter ising today too.¡± At the mention of Wei Shu, there seemed to be no affection in Wei Xian¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°She¡¯s considered half a member of the Wei family. It¡¯s reasonable to find her.¡± Wei Feng, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, was calm.

    ¡°But, isn¡¯t having more people meaning having more assets being split? How long has Wei Shu been dead? Now, her daughter knows how to sit back and enjoy the fruits of herbor. She came back directly to split the assets.¡± Wei Xian was a little angry. Her voice subconsciously raised, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Sister, you can only say this in front of me. If you say this outside, see how Mother will punish you.¡±

    ¡°I¡­ I was justining to you, Sister.¡± After Wei Feng¡¯s reminder, Wei Xian realized that her words had touched the olddy¡¯s taboo and quickly shut up.

    The sky gradually darkened. Almost everyone in the hall was here.

    The people in the hall were all from the main branch of the Wei family and were familiar with each other. soothing music was ying. Before the olddy arrived, the middle-aged people were exchanging greetings while the younger generation gathered and spoke softly.

    Outside the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan was sent out by the chauffeur. She walked straight into the courtyard but was stopped.

    ¡°Miss, this is the Wei family¡¯s ce. You can¡¯t barge in.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m here for the banquet.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood still.

    ¡°Please show me your invitation.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have an invitation.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go in and report this. Please wait a moment.¡±

    The guard had been in the Wei family for so long but had never seen this junior. He could not help but be suspicious. However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance and clothes were too outstanding. The guard¡¯s heart wavered, so he asked Xia Wanyuan to stay at the door and go in to pass the message.

    Soon, Butler Zeng brought the guard over. ¡°Miss Xia, this way please.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes, Butler Zeng nodded to himself. Ignoring everything else, her noble aura was much better than those of the nobledies who had been raised in the Wei family since they were young.

    People might even suspect that Xia Wanyuan was the one who had truly been raised by the best in the prestigious family.

 Chapter 294 - Old Madams Sizing Up

    <h4>Chapter 294: Old Madam¡¯s Sizing Up</h4>

    After following Butler Zeng into the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan had learned some skills in reading things after spending so many days in the manor.

    The courtyard was muchrger than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. It was decorated with pavilions and pavilions, and the Nine Zigzag Corridor style was like arge private garden.

    If Xia Wanyuan had not walked in from outside, she would have thought that she had entered the Misty Rain River.

    It seemed that Jun Shiling was right about the deep foundation of the Wei family.

    ¡°Miss Xia is here.¡±

    A voice was heard from outside the door. The hall, which had been filled with low voices, instantly fell silent.

    In principle, everyone who could stand in the hall today had the right to inherit the Wei family¡¯s property. Furthermore, the olddy¡¯s health had been deteriorating in the past few years, but the next head of the Wei family had not confirmed it for a long time. Everyone looked harmonious on the surface, but there was already a storm brewing in the dark.

    There was already a lot ofpetition. Now, there was still someone who could not really be considered from the Wei family but came in to share a spot with them, everyone was naturally unhappy. However, after knowing that Xia Wanyuan was only a female celebrity who was connected to the Inte, everyone rxed a lot. Now, they were more interested in watching themotion.

    After all, in the Wei family, everyone was highly educated and intelligent. They were either in the arts or in the business world. In the eyes of the Wei family, who had a strong sense of tradition, those who entered the entertainment industry were simply embarrassing.

    Butler Zeng entered and led the people behind him in. The crowd, who had been prepared to watch themotion, was speechless when Xia Wanyuan waspletely exposed.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a sky-blue embroidered dress. Her hair was tied up simply with a hairpin.

    The style of the courtyard had a hint of ancient architecture. Xia Wanyuan walked slowly, as if she had walked out of the Misty Rain River.

    The Wei family had very good genes. Everyone who walked in and out was handsome and beautiful. However, at this moment, everyone could not help but exim in their hearts.?<i>She¡¯s so beautiful.</i>

    What surprised everyone even more was that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrogant aura faintly resembled that of the Old Madam. It was equally frightening and made one involuntarily look up to her.

    People who had originally only treated Xia Wanyuan as a cannon fodderpetitor felt an inexplicable panic.

    Under everyone¡¯s gazes, Xia Wanyuan leisurely followed Butler Zeng¡¯s guidance and found her seat.

    The people sitting at the same table were all juniors of the same age as Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan nced at them and they seemed to be a little hostile to her, other than a rather handsome man sitting opposite her nodding at her. Xia Wanyuan returned his smile.

    Receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elegant smile, Wei Zimu was stunned. This sister he had never seen before was more interesting than he had imagined.

    ¡°Old Madam.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already taken her seat, but everyone¡¯s gazes on her had yet to dissipate. A voice sounded, and Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed a pair of extremely sharp and probing eyes on her.

    Xia Wanyuan followed this gaze and saw a silver-haired but rather imposing olddy sizing her up.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the olddy and retracted her gaze. She picked up the cup beside her and poured herself a ss of water.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was still soposed under her scrutiny, some thoughts arose in the old madam¡¯s heart, but she did not show it on her face.

    ¡°Let the banquet begin.¡± The old madam sat on her seat and nced at the people in the hall. Without saying anything else, she got someone to start the banquet.

    Xia Wanyuan had been busy the entire afternoon and was hungry. Just as her chopsticks were about to reach for the pearl meatballs on the table, they were stopped by someone.

 Chapter 295 - Provocation Counterattack

    <h4>Chapter 295: Provocation Counterattack</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. An extremely delicatedy blocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chopsticks with her chopsticks and picked up the meatball that Xia Wanyuan was about to pick up.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her. Wei Yu was a little afraid, but thinking that Xia Wanyuan was only a second-rate actress, how did she have the right to eat with them? She red back. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re just an actress. Don¡¯t treat yourself as a member of the Wei family just because you entered the Wei family¡¯s door.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia is a guest. Furthermore, she is Third Miss Wei¡¯s daughter.¡± Wei Zimu frowned.?<i>Wei Yu had gone too far.</i>

    ¡°Pfft, another one. Aren¡¯t you the same as her? You¡¯re just an adopted son. After eating a few mouthfuls of food from the Wei family, you really think of yourself as my brother?¡±

    Wei Yu¡¯s words made everyoneugh. Wei Zimu¡¯s face turned pale, and he looked at Xia Wanyuan with embarrassment.

    Themotion at the juniors¡¯ table attracted the attention of others, but no one paid attention to them. The old madam swallowed a mouthful of hot soup and inadvertently nced at the dining table where Xia Wanyuan was sitting.

    Everyone was waiting to see Xia Wanyuan make a fool of herself, but Xia Wanyuan acted as if she had not heard Wei Yu. She reached out with her chopsticks to pick up the crisp meat in front of her.

    As expected, the pair of chopsticks appeared in front of her again. Xia Wanyuan paused and nced at Wei Yu. ¡°You like this dish?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wei Yu raised her chin slightly and looked very smug.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll let you eat it.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan picked up the dish with her chopsticks. The dish circled around andnded in front of Wei Yu. When itnded on the table, it made a bang, startling everyone.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, what are you doing?!! You dirtied my clothes!!¡± The moment the gravy on the te of crispy meat fell on the table, it spilled all over the table in front of Wei Yu. It frightened Wei Yu so much that she stood up to check her evening gown. This was thetest design she had bought at a high price.

    If you like it, I¡¯ll bring it to you for you to eat. Also, your dress isn¡¯t stained with anything at all. Don¡¯t exaggerate when you speak. Actually, you seem to like this meatball quite a lot.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan picked up the te with the meatball and ced it beside the te.

    It was unknown what tricks Xia Wanyuan had used. Those two tes upied the space in front of Wei Yu. The vegetable soup also seemed to have a soul, and it did not surpass the thunder pool of others.

    Everyone at the table was stunned. Xia Wanyuan picked up her chopsticks and slowly picked out her favorite dishes.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, Wei Zimu was first stunned, then his eyes were filled with smiles. What a sister who refused to suffer a loss.

    ¡°Grandma, look at her.¡± Wei Yu was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s series of actions. She stomped her feet in grievance and ran to the old madam to act coquettishly.

    ¡°Go back and eat. Don¡¯t cause trouble.¡± The olddy did not give her any face.

    ¡°Ok.¡± Wei Yu pursed her lips in grievance. She could only get the maidservant to change a tablecloth for her and eat obediently, not daring to cause trouble for Xia Wanyuan again.

    On the high seat, the old madam nced at Xia Wanyuan, who had caused a controversy but was still eating calmly. Her eyes shed slightly before she retracted her gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know if others were happy or not, but Xia Wanyuan was quite full. The food cooked by the Wei family¡¯s chef was not bad.

 Chapter 296 - Call Me Brother

    <h4>Chapter 296: Call Me Brother</h4>

    After the meal, the tables in the hall were removed. Everyone sat in the hall and listened to the Old Madam¡¯s lecture.

    Originally, she had wanted to probe the Wei family¡¯s background, but she did not expect that the Wei family had so many rules.

    In her previous life, when Xia Wanyuan was a princess, she had more rules than she did now. However, she had been used to wandering around the manor these few days, and the Wei family did not have much rtion to her, so Xia Wanyuan felt very bored. She took advantage of Old Madam Wei¡¯s intermission and left the hall.

    Under the light of the night, the garden outside revealed a hazy beauty. Xia Wanyuan walked around the corridor. The fresh air in the courtyard washed away the boredom in her heart.

    ¡°You¡¯re Xia Wanyuan? Third Sister¡¯s daughter?¡± An old voice suddenly came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Old Madam Wei standing not far away. Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°Yes, Old Madam.¡±

    ¡°How was the banquet today?¡± The Old Madam looked at Xia Wanyuan and Wei Shu¡¯s simr eyebrows and suddenly asked an unrted question.

    ¡°The food is pretty good.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood calmly, and her words made Butler Zeng¡¯s eyebrows twitch.

    Miss Xia looked like a smart person, but she did not know how to seize opportunities. Even if she really felt that the food was delicious, she should not say it out loud. (italics)

    The old madam stood quietly and looked at Xia Wanyuan for a while. Xia Wanyuan returned Old Madam Wei¡¯s gaze without fear.

    After a while, a smile suddenly shed across the old madam¡¯s eyes. Then, without saying anything, she led Butler Zeng away.

    When they were eating just now, Xia Wanyuan had basically identified everyone in the Wei family. She looked at the time and realized that it was time to go back. There was nothing to stay here, so she walked straight out the door.

    ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Wei Zimu had also walked out of the hall and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    A hint of admiration shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes as she looked at Wei Zimu, who had arrived leisurely. This Wei Zimu, who had been adopted by the Wei family, looked much more outstanding than the other so-called members of the Wei family.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wei Zimu had just helped her at the table, so Xia Wanyuan was much more polite to him.

    ¡°My name is Wei Zimu, and I¡¯m considered your brother. Can I call you Sister Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Up to you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°It¡¯s my first time seeing you today, so I didn¡¯t have time to prepare a gift for you. This is a little thing I carved myself. Just treat it as my first gift to see my sister. Wei Yu is young and has always been pampered. Don¡¯t be calctive with her.¡±

    With an apologetic expression, Wei Zimu handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it. ¡°I didn¡¯t hold it against her. Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Are you leaving? Let me send you out.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Wei Zimu was a person who made people feel like a clear breeze and moon at first sight. When one chatted with him, it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. He was just like a modest gentleman.

    He apanied Xia Wanyuan out the door. Along the way, he told Xia Wanyuan many things about the Wei family, and she learned more about them.

    ¡°How are you going to go back? Do you need me to send you?¡± After sending Xia Wanyuan to the door, he did not see her car. As Wei Zimu spoke, he took out his keys and prepared to drive Xia Wanyuan home.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to decline when a familiar Phantom lit up not far away. ¡°Someone came to pick me up. Thank you for your good intentions.¡±

    The Phantom drove over slowly. The chauffeur stood in front of the car door and waited for Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu to finish speaking.

    ¡°Goodbye, Sister Wanyuan. This is my phone number. You can look for me if you need anything,¡± Wei Zimu said as he handed a name card to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan epted the name card and turned to get into the car.

    The car door closed and the car gradually drove away. Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. He seemed to have seen a corner of the suit in the car just now.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan got into the car, the chauffeur very consciously pulled up the partition.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan took the teacup from Jun Shiling and looked at him in surprise. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would be very busy today? Don¡¯t you have a meeting?¡±

    ¡°I saw that you were not back yet and was worried about you, so I came over.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the small box and name card in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Have you eaten well, Sister Wanyuan?¡±

    Just as she took a sip of tea, she choked on Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    ¡°Ahem.¡± Xia Wanyuan swallowed the tea.

    Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back gently. ¡°Why are you so agitated? It¡¯s fine if others call you, but I can¡¯t?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt her ears heat up. It was because she did not feel anything when others called her sister, but hearing Jun Shiling call her sister made her feel ufortable.

    ¡°ording to seniority, I¡¯m indeed his younger sister.¡±

    ¡°Oh, as far as I know, that person just now is the adopted son of the Wei family. He¡¯s not rted to you by blood. Why are you calling him brother? I think he has other intentions. You have to be careful of him.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed and could not help but stop Jun Shiling from continuing.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Jun Shiling put down the cup in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and replied slowly.

    ¡°I think you¡¯re the one with ulterior motives.¡±

    ¡°I only want you, nothing else.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that whenever she spoke to Jun Shiling recently, it would always end with her silence.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was ignoring him, Jun Shiling said, ¡°I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t eaten yet?¡± Xia Wanyuan was surprised.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been in meetings the whole time. Then, I was worried about you, so I came straight here.¡±

    ¡°Then eat some bread first. Eat more when you get back,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she opened the preservation room in the car. Xia Wanyuan liked to eat some snacks, and Jun Shiling often prepared some inside. As expected, Xia Wanyuan found milk and bread inside.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat it.¡± Jun Shiling took the bread but did not move. Instead, he nced at Xia Wanyuan faintly.

    Xia Wanyuan had been too familiar with Jun Shiling¡¯s various actions recently. With one look, she knew that Jun Shiling wanted to tease her again. Xia Wanyuan turned her head and ignored him.

    Jun Shiling rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with fatigue. Then, he sighed slightly.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and felt sorry for him. After all, she knew how busy Jun Shiling was. He definitely didn¡¯t lie, and he must havee to look for her after finishing his work. She said helplessly, ¡°Then tell me, what should I do for you to eat?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was bing more and more like a child in front of her. He was actually like Xiao Bao, asking forfort and coaxing.

    ¡°He just called you sister.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with deep eyes.

    ¡°Well, you can call me that too.¡±

    ¡°No, I want to hear you call me Brother.¡± Jun Shiling had unknowingly approached Xia Wanyuan, his eyes smiling.

 Chapter 297 - Youre So Cute

    <h4>Chapter 297: You¡¯re So Cute</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head slightly and saw Jun Shiling looking at her with a burning gaze.

    Originally, the word ¡°brother¡± was nothing strange in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s understanding. It was like an older brother term, but when it came from Jun Shiling, it made her blush.

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to eat. I¡¯m not the one who¡¯s hungry anyway.¡± Xia Wanyuan threw the bread into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and leaned towards the window, pretending to be calm. However, her red earlobe exposed her unstable emotions.

    ¡°I¡¯ll eat, okay? Sister Wanyuan.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embarrassment, Jun Shiling¡¯s smile widened. He tore open the packaging and ate slowly.

    The words that were so normal in Wei Zimu¡¯s mouth were said by Jun Shiling at this moment with an inexplicable lingering feeling, making one¡¯s heart tingle.

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Sister Wanyuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Alright, then promise me that you won¡¯t call him Brother in the future.¡± Jun Shiling slowly swallowed a mouthful of bread and nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>One day, I would hear Xia Wanyuan call me ¡®Brother¡¯.</i>

    ¡°Deal.¡± Anyway, she did not n to get along with those people from the Wei family. Wei Zimu was not her brother either, so she could not call him that.

    Satisfied, Jun Shiling squeezed towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°How did you feel today?¡±

    ¡°There are many people and the food is delicious. Old Madam is quite smart.¡± Xia Wanyuan was concise.

    ¡°Remember to tell me before youe to the Wei family next time. After all, your appearance means that the Wei family has another person fighting for the inheritance. It¡¯s better to be careful.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the milk to Jun Shiling. ¡°Drink this.¡±

    However, Jun Shiling did not take it. Instead, he looked at Xia Wanyuan with a burning gaze. ¡°I signed too many documents. I¡¯m exhausted.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was speechless for a moment. Thinking of how Jun Shiling had taken the time to pick her up, her heart softened. She inserted the straw into the box and brought it to Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and took a sip from the straw, then looked at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze. ¡°Do you want to try if the milk is sweet?¡±

    Even if Xia Wanyuan was not enlightened, she had been very sensitive under Jun Shiling¡¯s influence over the past few days. One look at Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze and she knew what he meant by ¡®give it a try¡¯.

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°I have a box of new milk here. I just wanted to let you try it. Why are you so excited?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and took out an unopened box of milk from beside him, waving it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Knowing that Jun Shiling was teasing her again, Xia Wanyuan simply ced the box beside Jun Shiling and sat by the window, never speaking to him again.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite side profile, Jun Shiling slowly finished the bread and found it funny.?<i>She¡¯s angry with me.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan also felt that she should be angry at Jun Shiling¡¯s teasing, but she did not seem to be angry at all, other than feeling exceptionally embarrassed.

    Someone gently tugged at her sleeve. Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°I was joking. Why don¡¯t you hit me to calm down?¡± Jun Shiling really went up to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan really reached out and punched Jun Shiling, but the force was not strong. To Jun Shiling, who had been working out all year round, it was just an itch. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s done.¡±

    ¡°Are you appeased?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Why are you so cute?¡± Feeling Xia Wanyuan gently punch his chest, Jun Shiling felt his heart soften. His love for Xia Wanyuan was about to overflow.

    Jun Shiling suddenly reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. She struggled for a while.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just hug you for a while. I won¡¯t do anything.¡± Jun Shiling gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, stopping her from struggling.

    Lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan could clearly hear Jun Shiling¡¯s vigorous heartbeat and the feeling of love emanating from him.

    Even she found it strange.?<i>I seemed to have done nothing. Why is Jun Shiling so good to me?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had never been defensive in front of Jun Shiling. She had doubts in her heart and asked casually.

    Unexpectedly, Jun Shilingughed softly and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything.¡±

    Then, Jun Shiling stopped talking, but the two people in each other¡¯s arms understood what Jun Shiling meant.

    <i>You don¡¯t have to do anything. As long as it¡¯s you, I will like it.</i>

    The car fell silent for a moment, but only the people involved knew how turbulent it was.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Mom, look how arrogant Xia Wanyuan was today. She made me feel embarrassed in front of so many people. My new gown was sshed with vegetable soup. Look!¡±

    In the courtyard, Wei Yu was sitting beside Wei Xian with an aggrieved expression.

    ¡°Alright, who asked you to provoke her first? She¡¯s just an actress. You¡¯re the legitimate Third Miss of the Wei family. Why did you lower yourself to find trouble with her?¡±

    ¡°What do you think Grandma is thinking? Why did she get a lousy actress to sit at the same table as us? Could it be that Grandma wants her to enter the Wei family and share our assets?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Your grandmother is too scheming, but I don¡¯t think she paid any attention to Xia Wanyuan at tonight¡¯s banquet.¡± Wei Xian had been paying attention to the Old Madam¡¯s movements, but she could not tell what special care the Old Madam had for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care, Mom. You have to help me. I was bullied by that Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s just an actress. Just do whatever you want. Don¡¯t disturb your grandmother.¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes, Wei Xian inexplicably felt a little afraid. It was good to let Yu¡¯er mess around. She wanted to see who that Xia Wanyuan was.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the deep courtyard, Old Madam Wei sincerely offered incense to the ancestral tablet.

    ¡°Fengxian, I¡¯m already old. Ever since you left, I¡¯ve supported this huge Wei family alone. It¡¯s a pity that the younger generation is useless. How many times have I wanted to look for you in the past few years? But when I thought that the Wei family would fail in my hands, I held on to myst breath. Fortunately¡­¡±

    Halfway through her sentence, the olddy suddenly stopped talking. After a while, she looked up. ¡°Old man, walk slowly. When I¡¯ve arranged everything here, I¡¯ll look for you.¡±

    The moon was as cold as water as it quietly looked at the various states of the world.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± had already entered the final stages. The regret and deep love between the Heavenly Spirit Princess and Qin Wu, who could not love, made many people unable to calm down.

    As time passed, the role of the Heavenly Spirit Princess became more and more diverse, and everyone¡¯s approval of Xia Wanyuan grew.

    Taking advantage of this surge in poprity, the Ya Zi advertisement endorsed by Xia Wanyuan officiallyunched.

 Chapter 298 - Ya Zis Advertisement

    <h4>Chapter 298: Ya Zi¡¯s Advertisement</h4>

    Ya Zi had always been extremely willful. Just like that, without any preview, an advertisement about the new summer model was released.

    However, Ya Zi was indeed the most popr clothing brand in China. In just a few minutes, she had attracted many fans to click on this new advertisement.

    Then, everyone clicked on it a second time in shock.

    At the beginning of the video, the blue sky and white clouds, the gentle breeze and green leaves, made one feelfortable.

    Light music sounded. Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a white sports suit and had a simple ponytail, pped the ball with her hand, making one think of the word ¡°vital girl¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have much makeup on, but it made her look even more youthful and energetic. The white sports attire outlined her figure even more perfectly.

    Before everyone could enjoy themselves, the scene changed. Not far away, a boy was holding an umbre and looking around constantly, as if he was waiting for a very important person.

    At that moment, a girl holding an umbre gradually appeared in the rain. She was wearing a lotus pink knitted dress that matched the faint glow on her face. When she looked up, she was excited.

    That pair of watery eyes blinked gently. The camera changed. In the banquet hall where the lights changed, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a cloud embroidered gown, appeared on the screen in high heels.

    The lights chased after her. Without any decorations, she was the center of the party.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was attending the gathering, Xia Wanyuan, who was ying by the sea, and Xia Wanyuan, who was touring¡­ It was as if Ya Zi had given all the clothing resources in the series to Xia Wanyuan, and had taken countless photos of her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance did not disappoint. Be it witty, solemn, dazed, or energetic, she was very outstanding.

    [ Sisters, Ya Zi is here to snatch money again!!! Run! ]

    [ Why did you post an advertisement when my sry was just given? My wallet told me that it doesn¡¯t want to leave, but I can¡¯t control my hand. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful¡­ Boohoo, where did you find such a goddess? How can she look like this? ]

    [ I¡¯ve never watched much domestic television dramas, but I¡¯ve always heard the Inte say that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are bad. Just looking at the styles in the advertisement, I really don¡¯t see how her acting skills are bad. I feel that her temperament has changed after changing clothes. If this is called bad acting skills, then they have really closed their eyes and turned ck. ]

    [ The clothes are beautiful too. Now I understand why Ya Zi wants to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s spokesperson. F*ck, Xia Wanyuan has simply disyed Ya Zi¡¯s style to the fullest, so that¡¯s why can she be the first in the industry, even when no one charmed them in so many years. Their taste in choosing people was amazing. ]

    [ Let¡¯s not talk too much. Buy, buy, arrange! ]

    At the same time as the online advertisements, the offline publicity in the major cities also began to be released.

    Everyone was originally rushing out of the house ording to their usual habits, eating buns as they rushed to the subway. However, they suddenly realized that the advertisement poster in the inner circle of the subway had been changed.

    After waiting for a long time, everyone could not help but read the posters to kill time. When they read it, they clicked their tongues. The current entertainment industry¡¯s photoshopping skills were really brilliant. They could actually fix someone so good-looking. Amazing.

    However, this dress was really beautiful. All the styles were beautiful.

    Three days after online and offline advertisements wereunched into the market, Ya Zi¡¯s orders had suddenly increased by 30% this summer, attracting the attention of the industry.

 Chapter 299 - Explosive Endorsement Effect

    <h4>Chapter 299: Explosive Endorsement Effect</h4>

    After all, no one had expected that a small Xia Wanyuan, who was neither an A-list big shot nor a top-notch celebrity, could actually pull in such a high sales volume.

    At that moment, Ya Zi¡¯s CEO was already extremely excited. He hurriedly called Lin Jing to thank him. If not for Assistant Lin¡¯s guidance back then, how could they have found such a good spokesperson?

    Not to mention that their performance had improved so much. Thinking of the number of year-end bonuses they might receive this year, everyone was ted.

    ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯re too kind. You don¡¯t have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Master Jun.¡±

    President Zheng was stunned.?<i>What did the spokesperson of this subsidiarypany have to do with CEO Jun?</i>

    However, on second thought, didn¡¯t the entire Jun Corporation belong to CEO Jun? In the end, they should thank CEO Jun for his support if their results were good.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. If not for CEO Jun¡¯s wise guidance, Ya Zi wouldn¡¯t have her current achievements.¡±

    It was obvious that CEO Zheng did not understand what he meant, so Lin Jing did not expose him. He chatted with CEO Zheng for a while before bringing Ya Zi¡¯s report into Jun Shiling¡¯s office.

    ¡°Young Master, this is Ya Zi¡¯s order report after Madam endorsed Ya Zi. The effect of Madam¡¯s endorsement can be described as perfect. In just three days, the number of orders increased to 30%.¡±

    Jun Shiling took the report and nced at it, pride rising in his eyes. ¡°She¡¯s naturally perfect.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    <i>Young Master, wake up. I¡¯m talking about the perfect endorsement effect. I remember that your memory is so good that you won¡¯t forget it. You don¡¯t have to directly omit my core words, right?</i>

    However, the reason why Assistant Lin became Assistant Lin was that no matter how great his emotions were, his expression could not be seen.

    ¡°Alright, give Ya Zi more bonuses this year. Send someone to keep an eye on Star Creation Entertainment and don¡¯t reveal Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Everyone had secretly paid attention to thest time Jun Shiling hade to Star Creation Entertainment. They had thought that Xia Wanyuan would be punished.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan was not punished. On the contrary, CEO Wang, who usually covered the sky with one hand, was actually dismissed. Furthermore, it was as if he had disappeared without a trace, and there was no longer anymotion in Star Creation Entertainment.

    Furthermore, after CEO Wang was dismissed from the investigation team, the vice president of Da Kun Entertainment was also removed from his position by the Jun Corporation.

    Xia Wanyuan was not affected at all. Everyone discussed in private.?<i>Could Xia Wanyuan have anything to do with the Jun Corporation?</i>

    Even if everyone dared to think further, they did not dare to pull Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling together. After all, no one dared to even dream of having a person like Jun Shiling.

    Not long after, the Jun Corporation sent a manager over. He did things fairly and justly. He had no intention of leaning towards Xia Wanyuan.

    It was only then that everyone felt that perhaps CEO Jun was simply punishing those who had vited thepany¡¯s system and did not involve any rtionship.

    It was too funny that they would link Xia Wanyuan to the Jun Corporation.

    The new management had implemented a series of reforms on Star Creation Entertainment regarding the problem of Star Creation Entertainment. Naturally, they needed a lot of manpower and material support, but the Jun Corporation actually approved them very readily every time.

    The executive that Lin Jing had poached from another entertainmentpany said, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a straightforward leader who approves of money. CEO Jun trusts me too much. I must work harder and not let down Boss¡¯s trust in me.¡±

 Chapter 300 - The Princess Martial Power Explode

    <h4>Chapter 300: The Princess¡¯ Martial Power Explode</h4>

    If Lin Jing had heard this executive¡¯s sincere confession, he would definitely have a standard smile on his face andugh in his heart.

    <i>Young man, you¡¯re too young.</i>

    Seeing that Ya Zi¡¯s advertisement had such a good publicity effect, Hays, who was originally leisurely designing a publicity film for Xia Wanyuan, could not sit still anymore.

    The publicity department wrote out the proposal overnight and worked through the three designers¡¯ hair until they were bald. Finally, they rushed out the publicity film proposal.

    Chen Yun drove while Tang Yin apanied Xia Wanyuan and discussed the Hays advertising n with her.

    Suddenly, Tang Yin¡¯s phone rang. Tang Yin picked up the phone and took a look. Xia Wanyuan watched helplessly as the expression of Tang Yin, who had always been indifferent and calm, changed.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s continue practicing our lines.¡± Tang Yin did not reply after reading the message but stuffed it directly into her bag.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Tang Yin did not say anything, and Xia Wanyuan did not probe further. However, in the following journey, Tang Yin was clearly distracted.

    Hays potato chips were not like Ya Zi Entertainment. Ya Zi Entertainment belonged to the Jun Corporation¡¯s subsidiarypany, and the Jun Corporation had its own entertainmentpany. They could just get the brotherpany to film the advertisement directly.

    When Hays filmed publicity films, they needed to go to the film production base in the suburbs of Beijing to film. This inevitably led to them meeting many other celebrities.

    Tang Yin sent Xia Wanyuan to the filming room. ¡°I have something on and will go out for a while. I¡¯lle and look for youter.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Tang Yin¡¯s distant back and was in deep thought.

    ¡°Come,e,e, Miss Xia. This way, please. Let¡¯s change our clothes first.¡± After two promotions, the manager of the Hays marketing department looked at Xia Wanyuan, as if he was looking at a golden tree that would drop money. His attitude was especially enthusiastic.

    The potato chips filmbined the inspiration of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current popr role as the Heavenly Spirit Princess and came up with a publicity n for an ancient and modernbination.

    An hour and a halfter, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ancient part had ended filming, but Tang Yin still had not returned. Taking advantage of the intermission, Xia Wanyuan asked a staff member at the side, then walked towards the basketball court of the film studioplex.

    Tang Yin¡¯s hand that was holding the phone was somewhat pale. She waited for more than an hour, but the person who had sent the message still did not appear. Tang Yin stood up and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Where are you going, Great Manager Tang?¡± A delicate female voice sounded behind her. Tang Yin turned around and saw that face she would never forget.

    ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Tang Yin asked with a cold face.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know why I¡¯m looking for you¡± Shi Tian looked at Tang Yin¡¯s still beautiful face, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would never step into the entertainment industry again? Yet you¡¯re back now, even a dog wouldn¡¯t go back on its word to you.¡±

    ¡°My return has nothing to do with you.¡± Upon hearing Shi Tian¡¯s words, anger shed in Tang Yin¡¯s eyes. However, she suddenly thought of something and suppressed the mes.

    ¡°Pfft, let me warn you. Since you promised me that you wouldn¡¯t enter the entertainment industry anymore, then scram obediently. Don¡¯t bring that useless celebrity of yours around the entertainment industry. Otherwise, don¡¯t me me for being impolite.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll tell you too. I, Tang Yin, want to enter.¡± Tang Yin, who was originally silent, could not suppress the anger in her heart when she heard Shi Tian insult Xia Wanyuan like this.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡± Shi Tian raised her eyebrows. ¡°Someone, take her away.¡±

    The moment Shi Tian finished speaking, a group of men in ck suddenly appeared in the originally quiet basketball court. Tang Yin¡¯s pupils shrank slightly when she saw this familiar scene.

    She had thought that Shi Tian would not be so brazen in the film studioplex, but she had been careless. Shi Tian¡¯s family background was strong, and she was still as arrogant as before.

    The unbearable memories of the past swept into her mind once again as this group of ck-clothed people slowly approached. Tang Yin clenched her hands tightly, immersed in the pain of the past, and was grabbed by someone without any resistance.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Just as Shi Tian was about to leave with her people, Xia Wanyuan and Chen Yun finally arrived at the field.

    ¡°Chen Yun, don¡¯t worry about me. Take Wanyuan and leave first.¡± Tang Yin, whose mind was in a mess, finally recovered a little of her rationality from herplicated thoughts when she heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice.

    ¡°Let go of her.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice sounded.

    ¡°Wanyuan, go back first. She won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± Tang Yin knew Shi Tian. She wouldn¡¯t do anything to her. At most, she would torture her. Anyway, it was not like she had never experienced it in the past.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status was valuable. Shi Tian¡¯s family had a dark background. If anything happened to Xia Wanyuan, that would be a serious matter.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the little artiste that Big Manager Tang is managing?¡± Shi Tian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly as she nced at Tang Yin at the side. ¡°Why are you standing up for your manager? You probably don¡¯t know what kind of lousy person your manager is, right?¡±

    When Shi Tian said this, Tang Yin¡¯s face instantly turned as pale as a piece of paper, losing all its vigor.

    However, Xia Wanyuan acted as if she did not hear her words. Before anyone could react, she stepped forward and kicked the man in ck who was holding Tang Yin away, causing him to fall to the ground with a bang.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to pull Tang Yin over and threw her to Chen Yun.

    The men in ck reacted and surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wanyuan, be careful!!¡± Chen Yun supported Tang Yin. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was surrounded, he was about to step forward to help. Then, he saw Xia Wanyuan pick up a baseball bat that someone had ced there and hit a ck-clothed person¡¯s face cleanly.

    ¡°¡­¡± Chen Yun was stunned.

    Having practiced dancing and exercising every day recently, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s physical fitness was no longer as weak as when she had just arrived in the modern world. Although she did not know much martial arts, they were all solid and ruthless moves that could take one¡¯s life.

    Being shocked by her cold killing intent and her ruthless moves, the guards who were responsible for protecting Shi Tian had already lost a lot in terms of aura.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attacks were extremely tricky. In a few moves, the ground was covered in corpses.

    Chen Yun retracted his foot that was about to step forward.

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood quietly with a baseball bat in her hand, causing the guards who had just fought her to feel a chill in their hearts.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Shi Tian was also stunned by her aura. She nced at Tang Yin hatefully and left with a group of guards who were hung up.

    Xia Wanyuan threw away the racket and walked to Tang Yin¡¯s side. She did not ask anything. ¡°Chen Yun, send her back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hadpleted a day of filming in the studio herself.

    By the time he got home, it was alreadyte. Jun Shiling was sitting in the living room on the first floor waiting for Xia Wanyuan to return.

    Hearing footsteps, Jun Shiling picked up the cake on the table and looked out the door with a smile. However, slowly, the smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s face disappeared.

    Putting the cake back on the table, Jun Shiling stood up and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. Before Xia Wanyuan could react, he lifted her pants.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was as cold as ice.

 Chapter 301 - Call Me Brother

    <h4>Chapter 301: Call Me Brother</h4>

    Sensing the coldness in Jun Shiling¡¯s voice, Xia Wanyuan wanted to retract her foot, but Jun Shiling held her ankle tightly and didn¡¯t let her move.

    ¡°I knocked it.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt a little guilty.

    ¡°Will it look like this after a knock?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg. There was arge bruise where the bottom of her pants had been lifted. It was obvious that she had been hit by a great force.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elbow and indeed saw some swelling. ¡°You fought with someone,¡± Jun Shiling said affirmatively.

    ¡°I ran into a group of people who wanted to take Tang Yin away, so I¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan finally spoke the truth. However, under Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze, she could not bring herself to say the rest.

    Jun Shiling lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound. No one knew what he was thinking about, but Xia Wanyuan felt that the pressure on him was getting lower. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just a bruise. I¡¯ll be fine in a few days.¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly stood up, picked Xia Wanyuan up horizontally, and walked upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but when she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile that was pursed tightly, she swallowed her words and obediently stayed in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was extremely terrifying, but his actions were very gentle as he ced Xia Wanyuan on the bed. He found a medical box and gently applied the medicine for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hiss.¡± Jun Shiling applied some ointment on the bruises. Only then did Xia Wanyuan feel a little pain.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg shrink in pain, Jun Shiling paused and frowned even more, his actions bing lighter.

    After finally treating the wounds on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs and arms, Jun Shiling remained silent with a cold expression.

    Jun Shiling?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to leave after applying the medicine, Xia Wanyuan called out to him.

    ¡°What?¡± Jun Shiling asked coldly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. It really doesn¡¯t hurt much. I¡¯ll¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to say that she would definitely pay attention next time.

    ¡°It hurts me.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded in the room, stunning Xia Wanyuan.

    With that, Jun Shiling left the bedroom, and Xia Wanyuan did not stop him.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling entered the bedroom and ced the water, snacks, and fruits by the bed. Jun Shiling rolled up his sleeves and sat by the side, peeling oranges for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡± Looking at Jun Shiling peeling the orange seriously with his head lowered, but the corners of his lips were still tight, Xia Wanyuan could not help but call out, but Jun Shiling did not reply.

    ¡°You¡¯re not going to talk to me anymore?¡±

    Jun Shiling still did not speak. He quietly handed the peeled orange to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan did not take the orange. Instead, she passed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding the orange and tugged at his sleeve.

    ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand paused. He suddenly looked up and saw a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Look, I¡¯ve already called you brother. Can you stop being angry with me?¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s call of Brother and her smile, Jun Shiling felt as if his heart had been split into two. One half was warm in the clouds, and the other half was roasted in the fire.

    ¡°Okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan gently tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve again.

    Jun Shiling sighed softly in his heart. He really could not do anything to her.

    ¡°Where did you learn these sweet nothings?¡± Jun Shiling said helplessly. Finally, he was no longer ignoring her.

    Jun Shiling put down the orange that had been poked by Xia Wanyuan calling him ¡®Brother¡¯, dried his hands, and peeled another one for her.

 Chapter 302 - Feeding

    <h4>Chapter 302: Feeding</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan slowly ate the orange Jun Shiling had peeled.

    ¡°You¡¯ve made yourself like this. Have you never thought about my feelings?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bruised leg, his heart aching.

    Knowing that she was in the wrong, Xia Wanyuan pulled the nket over her legs. ¡°I understand. Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t angry with me anymore? I promise there won¡¯t be a next time.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. In any case, there was nothing he could do about Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°You went to look for Tang Yin?¡± In the vi, the originally continuous and pleasant piano sound stopped after Shi Tian entered the house.

    ¡°Yo, you even know that. She really is your former lover. You have telepathy with her?¡± The person who was already filled with anger because of Xia Wanyuan became even angrier when he saw Liu Xingchuan¡¯s nervous expression at the mention of Tang Yin.

    ¡°You only have this expression when you see Tang Yin.¡± Liu Xingchuan¡¯s hand that was on the piano keys shrank slightly. It was so terrifying and hateful. ¡°What did you do to her?¡±

    ¡°What can I do to her? She has many people protecting her now. Liu Xingchuan, let me tell you. You¡¯re my man for the rest of your life. If you get entangled with Tang Yin again, I¡¯ll definitely make her die a very ugly death.¡±

    After Shi Tian finished speaking, Liu Xingchuan clenched his fists and remained silent.

    Shi Tian looked at Liu Xingchuan¡¯s back, her eyes filled with hatred and pain of adoration*. I loved him for so many years, but I still could not enter his heart. That Tang Yin was just a whore. What right did she have to make Liu Xingchuan miss her so much all these years?!*

    <i>If I don¡¯t live well, others can¡¯t either. Everyone should suffer together!</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s deliberate softening, the coldness on Jun Shiling finally dissipated a lot.

    Dinner was brought to the bedroom by the servants. Jun Shiling picked up the cutlery and prepared to feed Xia Wanyuan himself.

    ¡°I only have a small injury on my hand. It¡¯s fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to take the chopsticks and eat it herself.

    ¡°It¡¯s my duty to take care of you as a Brother,¡± Jun Shiling said leisurely instead of passing the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red instantly.

    The reason why she had called Jun Shiling ¡®Brother¡¯ just now was because Xia Wanyuan wanted to coax him. In a moment of desperation, she recalled that Jun Shiling had especially wanted to hear her call him ¡®Brother¡¯ that day, so Xia Wanyuan called him directly without thinking too much.

    Now that she was being teased by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan felt a little embarrassed.

    Jun Shiling was gloomy for the entire night. When he saw the pinkness on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, there was finally a smile in his eyes.

    ¡°Open your mouth.¡± Jun Shiling scooped some rice and meat with a spoon and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    Anyway, she was used to being taken care of by Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan ate the food Jun Shiling fed her mouthful by mouthful.

    After the meal, Jun Shiling applied the medicine on Xia Wanyuan again before bringing theputer to the bedroom. He sat beside Xia Wanyuan and handled his work while shey on the bed and watched ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    On theputer, an anonymous email was sent over.

    ¡°The people on Old K¡¯s side have been active in Beijing recently. Someone in America sent news that they¡¯ve discovered a nest of theirs in the Chels Mountain Range.¡±

    ¡°Keep an eye on him first,¡± Jun Shiling replied and added, ¡°Check who appeared at the Beijing Film and Television Base today.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    As the email was submitted, a blue light shed on theputer, and all traces were erased. Jun Shiling looked up at the warm Xia Wanyuan under the light, his eyes filled with determination.

    <i>No matter how dark the world was, as long as I am here, I would give her light.</i>

    ¡°Can you hand me a pillow?¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big rabbit beside Jun Shiling. She wanted to put one on her back.

    Jun Shiling switched off theputer and walked over with the big rabbit. He helped Xia Wanyuan pad before sitting by the bed.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t hear you clearly just now. Call me again,¡± Jun Shiling said as he stared at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Go away, don¡¯t block me from watching television.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling, her face filled with embarrassment.

    Jun Shiling reached out and switched off the television. The room instantly fell silent, so quiet that one could hear Jun Shiling¡¯s strong heartbeat.

    ¡°Kiss me or call me. Pick yourself. I was supposed to have a meeting tonight. A bill of ten billion dors. Because of you, it was postponed.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that I haven¡¯t agreed to it yet.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had been pushing his luck recently.?<i>What did he mean by I could choose myself??</i>

    ¡°I want some interest first.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Have you considered it?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not choosing either. Get out of the way. ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ is ending tonight. It¡¯s about to start.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not dare to look straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s burning gaze.

    ¡°Sigh, for you, I dyed the bill for ten billion dors. I didn¡¯t even eat much. I was afraid that you would look for me if there was anything. Alright.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his eyes, and his tone had an obvious grievance.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s acting pitiful.?<i>Was this the Jun Shiling I knew who had said with a cold expression, ¡°Don¡¯t have any ideas about him. Get a divorce as soon as possible¡±?</i>

    However, she had to admit that this pitiful act was useful.

    Jun Shiling had always been taking care of her, and he even ate his dinner quickly. She also knew that Jun Shiling treated her extremely well.

    ¡°Promise me that this will be thest time I call you. Don¡¯t mention it again no matter what.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t mention it in the future.¡± Jun Shiling paused for a moment and added meaningfully, ¡°But when you call me that, it doesn¡¯t count.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought to herself,?<i>I won¡¯t take the initiative to call you.</i>

    ¡°Brother, is that enough? Or do you like to hear your childhood sweetheart call you Brother Shiling?¡± Xia Wanyuan quickly called out, but for some reason, she recalled that Zheng Fei had once called him Brother Shiling.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention Zheng Fei again, a helpless smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.?<i>¡®Can¡¯t this matter be resolved?¡¯</i>

    ¡°I¡¯ll say it again solemnly. There¡¯s no one else but you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan seriously, his eyes firm and deep.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Then can you move aside? I want to watch the drama.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears burned from Jun Shiling¡¯s scorching gaze.

    ¡°Let¡¯s watch it together.¡± Jun Shiling moved forward and sat beside Xia Wanyuan, then reached out and switched on the television.

    Jun Shiling rarely watched television dramas. One reason was that he was too busy, and the other was because in the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡±, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s role as the Heavenly Spirit Princess liked Qin Wu¡¯s Lin Xiao.

    The moment Jun Shiling saw Qin Wu, he recalled those WeChat messages.?<i>What dessert or not? Was there a need for him to buy them for Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    This was the first time Jun Shiling had watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°The Long Bad¡± seriously.

 Chapter 303 - The End of the Long Ballad

    <h4>Chapter 303: The End of the Long Bad</h4>

    As the opening theme song with the ink painting style ended, the drama began.

    Tonight was the end of ¡°The Long Bad¡±. The originally chaotic world had gradually stabilized with Young Master Fu Yi¡¯s help. Meanwhile, the young and inexperienced Eldest Senior Brother who hade out of Cangyuan Mountain had already be a hero who dominated the martial arts world.

    As thest city was taken down, the new dynasty map was finally confirmed.

    ¡°Senior Brother, we finally see this day.¡± Tian Ying Er had already lost the flippancy in her eyes. Having established a rtionship with Lin Xiao for many years, she already had the steadiness of a woman.

    ¡°Mm, Ying Er, after bidding farewell to the new emperor, I¡¯ll bring you back to the forest to live in seclusion. I¡¯ll plow and you¡¯ll weave. We won¡¯t care about the world anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Tian Ying Er leaned on her senior brother¡¯s shoulder happily.

    When Xia Wanyuan watched dramas, she would sometimes watch the audience¡¯s evaluation of her, so she watched them with thements. At this moment, there were manyments on the television.

    [ Sigh, I suddenly don¡¯t want to see Lin Xiao and Little Junior Sister together anymore. What should I do? I still think that the Heavenly Spirit Princess is more beautiful. ]

    [ My heart aches for the Heavenly Spirit Princess. ]

    [ I heard that the Heavenly Spirit Princess is going to be the imperial concubine in the end. It¡¯s hard to calm down again. ]

    Just as everyone was discussing, the Heavenly Spirit Princess appeared.

    At that moment, she was no longer dressed as a dancer but in a solemn pce gown.

    However, this ptial gown was no longer the bright yellow princess gown from back then. Instead, it was the new emperor¡¯s beloved concubine pce gown.

    After the city was defeated, in order to save his life, the Grand General offered the beauty to the new emperor. The Heavenly Spirit Princess was known as the number one beauty in the world. As soon as she appeared, she charmed the new emperor and was bestowed the title of Spirit Consort to the court.

    At this moment, Shen Pei had the name ¡°Ling¡±, but there was no longer any intelligence in her eyes. Instead, she was like an extremely exquisite puppet, her eyes empty and without any soul.

    Some of the new viewers in thements were about to ask if this person had no acting skills.?<i>Why was her acting so stiff?</i>

    Then, they saw Shen Pei¡¯s gaze change. It was as if a puppet had suddenly been injected with emotions. Furthermore, the emotions were so strong and oppressive that it was unbearable.

    ¡°Young Master Lin.¡± Shen Pei subconsciously bowed, but Lin Xiao was already one step ahead of her. ¡°Greetings, Consort Ling.¡±

    Shen Pei¡¯s expression froze. The thousands of words that were hidden in her eyes disappearedpletely, leaving behind only destion and a humble love that was hidden under sorrow. ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re too polite. Please rise.¡±

    ¡°Consort Ling, take care. My wife and I are about to leave. Goodbye.¡±

    Shen Pei nced at Tian Ying Er, who was standing beside Lin Xiao. There was a very well-protected innocence in her eyes.

    Shen Pei could barely suppress the tears in her eyes. She did not care if others would find out. She looked deeply at Lin Xiao. ¡°Young Master, take care.¡± Then, Shen Pei got into the pnquin.

    The curtain was pulled down, hiding Shen Pei¡¯s tear-stained face.

    [ I¡¯m crying. I¡¯m begging Lin Xiao. Take her away. She¡¯s suffering too much. ]

    [ Boohoo, my tears are worth nothing. My heart aches for the Heavenly Spirit Princess! Ahhh! ]

    [ She really loves him so much, but she feels so inferior. Return that innocent little princess to me. She was once the proudest pearl in the imperial city! ]

    [ How can a person with a broken body be worthy of Lin Xiao? ]

    [ The person in front, are you SB? ]

    [ Ignore such a smelly person. Shen Pei is the most bitter person in the drama. Her country is destroyed, and she can¡¯t get her love. Sigh, if only Xia Wanyuan and Qin Wu could be together in reality. The two of them are reallypatible. ]

 Chapter 304 - Regretful Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 304: Regretful Kiss</h4>

    [ The person in front, I agree with you. I specially searched for the mboyant scenes in the production team. Although Shen Pei can¡¯t love Lin Xiao in the drama, I feel that Qin Wu likes Xia Wanyuan outside the drama! ]

    [ No, I still think that Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng¡¯s Pact of Summer are morepatible. ]

    [ That¡¯s enough from you guys. Isn¡¯t watching a drama enough for you? Why must you create so many surprises for her? ]

    They were originally discussing the plot when slowly, the style changed. Everyone began to discuss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various CPs.

    From the moment she saw Qin Wu and Sheng Xia¡¯s Pact of Summer, Xia Wanyuan had thought that something was wrong. She wanted to switch off the television, but Jun Shiling threw the remote control onto the sofa, not letting Xia Wanyuan touch it. Then, he sat beside Xia Wanyuan and watched the entirement.

    ¡°I¡¯m going back on my word.¡± Jun Shiling only spoke after the ending song was yed.

    ¡°Going back on what?¡±

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have let you choose one of the two choices just now.¡± After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he reached out to lift Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin and pressed his lips against hers.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were very forceful, as if he was dering his sovereignty. He ruthlessly imprinted his mark on every corner of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth, dyeing every part of her with his aura.

    The kiss this time was longer and more forceful than ever. It was only when Xia Wanyuan was almost out of breath that Jun Shiling let her go with a deep breath.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Her lips had the moist beauty of being tortured, making Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darken.

    ¡°I really want to hide you.¡± The rationality and possessiveness in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart kept tearing at him. He felt like he was going to be split into two.

    He had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was going to be angry with him, but he didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to reach out and gently pat his back, as if she was pacifying an angry beast with a gentlefort.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had not thought of how to deal with her rtionship with Jun Shiling, that did not mean that she did not know how well Jun Shiling treated her. Furthermore, it was not that she did not have feelings for Jun Shiling. At the very least, she did not resist Jun Shiling¡¯s kiss.

    The raging anger in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart dissipated easily under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle actions. Jun Shiling could not help but tighten his grip on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mommy!!¡± Xiao Bao, who had been washed clean by the servants after ying with him, was hugging Ultraman¡¯s doll and looking curiously at the two people hugging each other on the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly pushed Jun Shiling away and reached out to Xiao Bao, who jumped into her arms.

    Looking at his originally smaller version of himself in his arms, Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao helplessly. Xiao Bao felt a chill behind his neck and shrank back into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Mommy, why is your mouth so red? Did you secretly eat chili?¡± Xiao Bao looked curiously at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red and even somewhat swollen mouth.

    ¡°No, I was stung by a bug.¡± Facing her son¡¯s innocent gaze, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed. She looked up and red at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling who miserably became a bug:¡­

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Having nothing to do at home for the past two days, Xia Wanyuan had recorded many videos of painting skills and calligraphy skills and posted them on Weibo.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount, which already had a lot of fans, attracted more people¡¯s attention. Among them were many professional organizations and professional masters.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s video recording was patient and simple to understand. Many beginners who had nevere into contact with Chinese arts could find a direction that matched their studies from his simple and standard teaching video.

    Anyway, she had nothing to do at home. Xia Wanyuan had posted thirty educational videos in two days. It could be said that she was very productive.

    Yuan Wanxia had always been mysterious and had never revealed her true appearance until now. Hence, in the eyes of everyone, Yuan Wanxia was a master who was close to seventy years old, had white hair, and had an immortal aura. He lived in a Daoist temple deep in the mountains and forests.

    Seeing that the old man had posted so many videos in two days, everyone¡¯s heart ached.

    [ Master, you have to take care of your health! ]

    [ That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Master, you must take care of your health. After all, you¡¯re already so old. Don¡¯t let yourself be tired endlessly just because you¡¯re teaching us. ]

    [ My grandfather is probably around the same age as you. My grandfather can¡¯t even walk properly himself, unlike you, Master. You can actually record so many videos for us. You must take care. ]

    [ Rest well, great-grandfather!! If you tire yourself out, we¡¯ll be in big trouble. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was twenty-two years old, but more than a million people called him ¡®Grandpa Yuan¡¯. She held her forehead helplessly.

    The bruise on her leg looked scary, but it had been nourished by the Jun Corporation with the best medicine and taken care of in every way possible. In two days, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injuries had mostly healed.

    Thinking of the situation when Tang Yin left that day, Xia Wanyuan asked Chen Yun for Tang Yin¡¯s address and drove to Tang Yin¡¯s house.

    After passing through a few alleys, she arrived at Tang Yin¡¯s house.

    She knocked on Tang Yin¡¯s door. After waiting for a while, someone came to open the door, who was out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expectations.

    It was not Tang Yin who came to open the door, but a man, a handsome man in his thirties with worry in his eyes.

    ¡°You are?¡± The man looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.

    ¡°Wanyuan, why are you here?¡± Tang Yin walked out at this moment. She didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan toe.

    ¡°I came to visit you.¡±

    ¡°Come in quickly.¡± Tang Yin weed Xia Wanyuan in, then looked at the man standing at the door. ¡°Fu Li, go back first. Don¡¯te and look for me again.¡±

    The man called Fu Li nced at Tang Yin worriedly. ¡°Call me if anything happens. I just returned to the country and I¡¯m still staying at my original ce.¡± Then, he took the suitcase by the side and went out.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for causing you trouble.¡± Tang Yin looked at Xia Wanyuan apologetically. If not for her, Xia Wanyuan would not have fought with others.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Tang Yin. ¡°No matter what you once had, it¡¯s all in the past. In the future, you¡¯ll still be my manager and friend.¡±

    Tang Yin looked at Xia Wanyuan, whose eyes were filled with trust. There seemed to be a magical power on her that carried the power to calm people.

    Because of Shi Tian¡¯s appearance, she had been feeling uneasy for the past few days. Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trustful gaze, she suddenly felt a calming force.

    ¡°Thank you. I finally know why CEO Jun likes you so much,¡± Tang Yin said gratefully.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Tang Yin¡¯s words, and an unnatural expression shed across her face.?<i>Why was Jun Shiling being dragged into this out of nowhere?</i>?However, seeing Tang Yin¡¯s eyes light up again, Xia Wanyuan felt very relieved.

    Tang Yin was a little stronger than she had imagined. This woman had a life force like a weed in her bones.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you somewhere.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood up.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll help you vent your anger.¡± The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up.?<i>How could she not get back at someone who had bullied her?</i>

 Chapter 305 - Punishing Shi Tian

    <h4>Chapter 305: Punishing Shi Tian</h4>

    ¡°Huh?¡± Tang Yin was a little stunned. ¡°Shi Tian¡¯s background is very big. Let¡¯s not provoke her.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly stared at Tang Yin. ¡°Does she have something on you?¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words fell, Tang Yin¡¯s expression turned pale. How intelligent was Xia Wanyuan? She understood at a nce from her expression.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Come with me.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and pulled Tang Yin up.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan did not act on her own. After all, Jun Shiling was too easily angry with her.

    Xia Wanyuan brought Tang Yin into her car, followed by two guards sent by Jun Shiling to protect Xia Wanyuan.

    ia Wanyuan drove and quickly arrived at a bar. The sky was dark, and many cars had arrived at the entrance.

    The moment Wei Yu got out of the car, he saw a familiar figure walking past. The exquisite jawline that could not be forgotten after a nce made Wei Yu recognize this person immediately.

    ¡°Why is Xia Wanyuan here?¡± Wei Yu mumbled.

    ¡°Sister, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Wei Yu¡¯s friend, who hade with him, asked when he saw Wei Yu frowning outside the window.

    ¡°I saw an acquaintance. She embarrassed mest time. I¡¯ll teach her a lessonter.¡±

    ¡°Who dares to provoke our Miss Wei? Leave this to your sister. Don¡¯t worry, who made you unhappy? I¡¯ll teach her a lesson.¡±

    The original owner of the body had always had memories of dancing in nightclubs. On the one hand, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was noisy, but on the other hand, she was more curious about what this modern bar and nightclub looked like.

    Bringing Tang Yin into the house, the lights were decadent, and the music was deafening. Countless fashionable men and women danced under the interweaving lights.

    The bodyguards, who had been told to wait outside the door, looked at each other when they saw Xia Wanyuan enter the nightclub.?<i>Madam only said that she was going out but did not say anything about this ce. Does Master Jun know about this?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan found a quiet seat and sat down with Tang Yin.

    ¡°What are we doing here?¡± Tang Yin could not understand what Xia Wanyuan was doing.

    ¡°Waiting for someone.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat quietly by the table and looked at the strange lights in the house.

    Not long after, the person Xia Wanyuan was waiting for arrived.

    ¡°Miss Shi, you¡¯re here. We¡¯ve kept your seat well. You haven¡¯t been here to take care of my business for some time.¡± Seeing Shi Tian walk over, the bar owner personally went up to wee her.

    ¡°Mm, lead the way.¡± Shi Tian seemed to be in a bad mood and waved her hand impatiently.

    Wei Yu found a seat closer to Xia Wanyuan and sat down. Wei Yu secretly took a few photos. Not far away, Xia Wanyuan suddenly looked up. Wei Yu hurriedly took a cup to cover her face.

    Wei Yu secretly nced at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing the change in her expression, she probably did not notice her.

    At that moment, Wei Yu¡¯s friend finally returned.

    ¡°Where did you go?¡± Wei Yu asked.

    ¡°I¡¯ll help you take revenge. Wait and see.¡± Amongst them, Wei Yu had the best status and background. Everyone was proud to be able to please Wei Yu.

    Seeing that Wei Yu hated the woman who had just entered, everyone was very active and wanted to help Wei Yu teach this person a lesson.

    ¡°Miss, this is the wine that the bar has given to the two of you. Please try the new product.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the blue wine that looked very fresh. She inadvertently nced at Wei Yu, who was not far away. She reached out to take the cup and took a sip.

    The alcohol content was a little high. Xia Wanyuan took a sip and put it down. ¡°It¡¯s not good.¡±

    The waiter stood awkwardly at the side.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom,¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her cup and said to Tang Yin.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± This ce was too chaotic, so Tang Yin was a little worried.

    When they arrived at the bathroom door, Xia Wanyuan did not enter but instructed Tang Yin on some matters.

    ¡°Is this okay?¡± Tang Yin looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. However, she was not the kind of woman who would be afraid. She would not stop Xia Wanyuan from doing what she wanted to do.

    Shi Tian drank alone in the house. Thinking of how Liu Xingchuan had be even more silent in front of her these few days, Shi Tian¡¯s eyes turned red and the wine sses in front of her were arranged.

    She had always had a good alcohol tolerance, but today, for some reason, she quickly felt tipsy and her vision blurred.

    In a daze, a coolness approached her and she lost consciousness.

    The guards, who were supposed to protect Shi Tian but were sent away by Tang Yin, seemed to have finally realized that something was wrong. When they returned to the door of the room, they saw that Shi Tian¡¯s room was already empty.

    Everyone was shocked. They thought that Shi Tian had been kidnapped and hurriedly called the big boss.

    However, very quickly, the guards found Shi Tian. She happened to be sleeping in the other room. However, none of the guards dared to take a second look at that scene.

    The guards of the Jun Corporation, who had been waiting outside the door, were about to go crazy when they saw that Xia Wanyuan had note out for a long time. Just as they were about to break in, they finally saw Xia Wanyuan walk out.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Xia Wanyuan threw her phone back into her bag, looking like she was in a good mood. Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. To be honest, even until now, she still didn¡¯t understand what Xia Wanyuan had gone to do.

    Xia Wanyuan sent Tang Yin downstairs. Just as Tang Yin was about to get out of the car, she finally said, ¡°You and Shi Tian have the same weakness.¡±

    Tang Yin was stunned at first, then she understood Xia Wanyuan¡¯s meaning. Pain shed across her eyes.?<i>That¡¯s right, Shi Tian and I indeed had amon weakness.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and fiddled with her phone a few times. Tang Yin¡¯s message notification sounded. Tang Yin lowered her head and saw a scene that she was very familiar with on the phone.

    This scene instantly reminded her of everything that had once been a nightmare. It was just that this time, the protagonist of the picture was Shi Tian. Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were filled with tears.

    ¡°Sleep early. You still have to work tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiledfortingly.

    Since the two of them had the same weakness, Tang Yin was afraid that the matter would be exposed to Liu Xingchuan, and Shi Tian was also afraid.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Tang Yin thanked Xia Wanyuan sincerely.

    This matter had always been a thorn in her heart, stabbing into her heart until her flesh was blurred. However, now that Xia Wanyuan had brought her and stabbed this simr thorn into Shi Tian¡¯s heart, she was very happy.

    ¡°Rest early and work hard. You don¡¯t owe anyone and you don¡¯t have to be afraid of anyone.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Seeing that Tang Yin was finally not so worried, Xia Wanyuan was relieved.

    When she returned to the manor, Xia Wanyuan felt inexplicably guilty. However, on second thought, she did not fight. What was there to be guilty of?

    To her surprise, the manor was more lively than usual today. Before she entered the house, she heard someone talking.

 Chapter 306 - Bo Xiao

    <h4>Chapter 306: Bo Xiao</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan walked in and saw Bo Xiao, whom she had not seen in a long time, ying happily with Xiao Bao in the living room.

    ¡°Sister-inw.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, Bo Xiao stood up and greeted her. Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded.

    Xiao Bao had not seen this beautiful uncle in a long time. He did not even y his favorite Ultraman anymore and just pestered Bo Xiao.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling, who looked quite normal.?<i>He shouldn¡¯t be angry.</i>

    The next second, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°You¡¯re pretty amazing. You drank and drove. I should call the police and arrest you.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t drink. I spat it out. I just smell like alcohol.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had studied thews of China. How could she dare to drink and drive?

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan coldly. In the end, he did not say anything and poured her a cup of tea.

    Of course, Bo Xiao did note here simply to freeload food and y with Xiao Bao.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling brought Bo Xiao into the study.

    It had been a few years since Bo Xiao had entered Jun Shiling¡¯s studyst time. Bo Xiao saw that the originally simple and dark study was now filled with all sorts of calligraphy and paintings.

    There were pink cups on the table, and on the chair beside them were several plushies.

    Bo Xiao could not help but sigh. ¡°Back then, I had to go throughyers of permission to enter your study, afraid that I would bring some dust into your study. Now, even if Sister-inw eats in your study, you won¡¯t say anything, right? Tsk, men.¡±

    It was rare for Jun Shiling, who allowed Xia Wanyuan to practice calligraphy and painting in the study yesterday and even personally bring the food into the study, to not retort Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Tell me, what are you here for today?¡±

    Bo Xiao was not as idle as the outside world thought. On the contrary, he was very busy. Lin Jing was Jun Shiling¡¯s special assistant on the surface, and Bo Xiao was equivalent to Jun Shiling¡¯s secret helper. He, who was dealing with a lot of things every day, would not look for Jun Shiling unless there was nothing to do.

    ¡°I told you the other day that Old K¡¯s people have already infiltrated the higher-ups in Beijing. ording to the news I received, they have an unclear rtionship with the Zheng family. The elections are about to start.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t alert the enemy first.¡±

    ¡°After a while, we might need to visit Continent F personally. In the past few years, Old K¡¯s power has grown too quickly. There¡¯s a huge problem over there, and it¡¯s almost impossible to suppress it.¡±

    ¡°Come with me after Old Master¡¯s birthday.¡± Jun Shiling thought for a moment, then gave the order.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Bo Xiao discussed with Jun Shiling in the study for a long time. Only when it was close to twelve o¡¯clock did Bo Xiao leave under the moonlight.

    Jun Shiling washed up and returned to the bedroom. Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were already asleep.

    However, as if she sensed movement, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes slightly and saw Jun Shiling sitting by the bed looking at her.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked softly, her eyes still closed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll sleep soon,¡± Jun Shiling replied, then leaned over slightly and nted an extremely gentle kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were too gentle with infinite tolerance and patience. Xia Wanyuan was still sleepy and did not want to argue with Jun Shiling.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had fallen asleep again, Jun Shiling lifted the nket and got into bed. Everything in the world returned to tranquility in the dark night.

    However, there were some ces where night could not seep in.

    The sinful feelers spread and clung to the originally bright worldyer byyer.

 Chapter 307 - King of the Underground Kingdom

    <h4>Chapter 307: King of the Underground Kingdom</h4>

    ¡°Boss, our undergroundwork has already been established so well. 90% of the underground transactions in the world will pass through our hands. Why should we be afraid of a rich Chinese?¡±

    In the luxurious hall that was as bright as day, a strong man with a scar on his face was looking at the man sitting on the main seat with respect and confusion.

    ¡°Jayce, don¡¯t underestimate these families in China. Let¡¯s follow the original n and contact the Zheng family first.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± No matter how many doubts Jayce had, the man in front of him had too high a status in everyone¡¯s hearts, so that once he spoke, Jayce would execute any of his orders without hesitation.

    Even if it meant death.

    After Jayce left the hall, the person in charge of Continent F sent in an extremely beautiful woman. Continent F had many beautiful women with extremely good figures, and this woman who had been selected after thousands of selections not only had a good figure, but she also had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.

    It was the first time she served a guest, so she was very afraid and uneasy, especially when she knew that she was about to serve the emperor of the Underground Kingdom.

    ¡°Come here,¡± the man in the high chair said slowly in English. It was surprisingly pleasant, and the voice was surprisingly young. The beauty approached the high chair respectfully and knelt beside it.

    ¡°Look up.¡±

    The beauty looked up and saw the person in front of her. Then, her eyes widened in surprise and she stood rooted to the ground.

    No matter how ignorant she was, she knew how famous Old K was in the entire underground world. This man was so mysterious that even the police and public were helpless. They had been looking for Old K, but there was no information about him to date.

    But today, she saw him.

    Old K, who was famous throughout the world and enjoyed countless infamy in the underground kingdom, was actually a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

    Furthermore, it was an Asian.

    In her eyes, he was an Asian man who was so handsome that he did not look like an ordinary person. He had a strong schrly aura, and at first nce, he looked like a professor from a university.

    ¡°Your eyes are quite beautiful. Come closer and let me take a look.¡± Seeing the beauty¡¯s eyes that were filled with spring water, the corners of the handsome young man¡¯s lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

    Being stared at by this handsome young man, not only did the beauty not feel the slightest charm, but she even felt a chill in her heart and her body could not help but tremble.

    ¡°Nice eyes. Keep them.¡±

    Unable to grasp the young man¡¯s instructions, she followed her previous training and wanted to cling to his body and have a beautiful dream with him, but he stopped her.

    ¡°Just stand there. Don¡¯t touch me.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The beauty had a strange regret in her heart, but in the underground world, no one dared to not listen to Old K. She stood obediently at the side and looked at the young man in the high seat with watery eyes.

    In this ce, there was no difference between night and day. The beauty did not know how long she had been standing in the hall. She only knew that her legs were about to copse.

    ¡°Boss, Ah Sheng has been caught.¡± Someone suddenly reported from outside the door.

    ¡°Bring him in.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Soon, everyone pushed in a tied-up Asian.

    ¡°Young Master, Young Master, I was wrong. I beg you to let me go. On the ount that I¡¯ve served you for so many years, please let me live.¡± The moment Ah Sheng saw the young man in the high position, it was as if he had seen a devil. The fear that surged from the bottom of his heart made him tremble uncontrobly.

    ¡°Ah Sheng, you should know that I¡¯m not your young master.¡± The young man smiled. His cold smile was like a poisonous snake, making everyone¡¯s hearts tremble. ¡°I don¡¯t know when you learned to read.¡±

    The person beside him threw a letter in front of Ah Sheng. When he saw the encrypted package that was disguised as an ordinary letter, Ah Sheng¡¯s eyes turned ashen.

    ¡°Open the undergroundwork and let everyone admire what happens to traitors.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce opened the undergroundwork channel and called for the people around him toe forward.

    The beauty had never seen such a scene before. Her stomach churned and she could not help but vomit.

    Sensing Old K¡¯s gaze on her, the beauty was shocked and hurriedly knelt down. ¡°Boss, please spare me.¡±

    The man in the seat chuckled. ¡°Your eyes are pretty, but they¡¯re useless. Leave your eyes behind and throw the rest away.¡±

    With that, he stretchedzily as if he was extremely tired and left the hall, not caring at all about the beauty¡¯s screams behind him.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, Xiao Bao was obediently sent to school after dinner.

    Jun Shiling usually left before Xiao Bao went to school. Today, he had been reading the newspaper for a long time and had not left.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask curiously.

    ¡°Are you going to work today?¡± Jun Shiling slowly closed the newspaper and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything on today. I¡¯m going to shoot an advertisement tomorrow. Why?¡±

    ¡°Thene to thepany with me.¡± Jun Shiling stood up. ¡°As long as I don¡¯t look after you for a while, you¡¯ll either fight or go to a nightclub. You¡¯re quite amazing. It¡¯s safer to pocket you and take you away.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was silent.?<i>Thinking about it, Jun Shiling seemed to be right, but what was the use of putting me in his pocket and taking me away?</i>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s speechless expression, a smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. Only then did he say his real motive. ¡°There¡¯s a proposal meeting today, and all the people who are here are elites from around the world. It¡¯s good for you to learn from them.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan go upstairs to pack up, then followed Jun Shiling into the car.

    Because there were especially many people who came to the corporation today, Xia Wanyuan did not want to be recognized and cause amotion, so she followed Lin Jing into the building from the back door and waited in Jun Shiling¡¯s office.

    Only Lin Jing and Jun Shiling could enter and leave the floor where Jun Shiling¡¯s office was located. Other people could not enter without permission, so Xia Wanyuan strolled outside without worry.

    The entire floor had been opened up, and an entire scenic belt had been specially built for Jun Shiling. Flowing water, flowers, carps, birds, and cranes were built in the downtown area of Beijing. Every single one of them was telling everyone that this was apany that was so rich that it defied the heavens.

    Xia Wanyuan was sitting on a cold chair when she heard footsteps.

    ¡°CEO Jun, it¡¯s been two years since we parted in D Nation. I miss you very much.¡±

 Chapter 308 - Dont Look At Me Like That

    <h4>Chapter 308: Don¡¯t Look At Me Like That</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the scenery hidden by the flowers and nts. She could see the outside, but no one outside could notice her.

    The sound of high heels approached. Xia Wanyuan could not help but poke her head out to take a look.

    A foreign woman who, in the eyes of a real ancient person like Xia Wanyuan, even felt that her facial features were extremely beautiful was standing in front of Jun Shiling, speaking fluent Chinese.

    ¡°Louise, our cooperation is over. You can look for my assistant for other matters.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold and distant.

    ¡°CEO Jun, can I invite you to dinner tonight?¡± She was not frightened by Jun Shiling¡¯s cold expression. After all, she treated everyone like this.

    Louise had grown up in a foreign country and was more open-minded. From the first time she saw this legendary Chinese man, she had fallen deeply in love with him. It was not easy for her to apply to her family toe to China. This time, she had decided to pursue Jun Shiling.

    Impatience shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He wanted to go to the office to look for Xia Wanyuan as soon as possible. ¡°Miss Louise, you can only stand here on ount of your father. I already have a lover. Please respect yourself.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Louise did not believe him at all. Seeing that there was no one around, she reached out to pull Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. She did not believe that anyone could resist her charm. ¡°CEO Jun,¡± she said softly.

    While Xia Wanyuan was watching themotion with her head tilted, she identally knocked on the cup on the table, making a clear sound that stood out especially in the quiet floor.

    Louise looked over in surprise, while Jun Shiling was delighted. He strode into thendscape and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Although it was unintentional, it could be considered eavesdropping. Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed.

    Reaching out, he pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. She subconsciously wanted to break free, but thinking of the foreign woman standing outside, Xia Wanyuan stayed quietly in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Louise watched as Jun Shiling carried someone out of the bushes. That person had her head lowered and her appearance could not be seen clearly, but she could tell that she was an extremely beautiful woman.

    On Jun Shiling¡¯s face was a gentle and loving expression that Louise had never seen before. It was the obvious love and cherish for the woman in his arms.

    The two of them entered the office like this and did not bother about Louise, who was standing at the side. Louise¡¯s blue eyes narrowed.

    After entering the office, Xia Wanyuan brushed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm away. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re quite popr.¡±

    Disappointment shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s heart as he left the warm embrace. Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I just need one person to wee me.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped herself in time. Otherwise, with Jun Shiling¡¯s current level of sweet talk, she was afraid.

    ¡°Watch it in this officeter. I¡¯ll get Lin Jing to broadcast the entire meeting here.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    The global meeting this time was mainly led by the Jun Corporation. The top 100 cooperative corporations in the world were gathered together to discuss some controversial global proposals.

    In the huge meeting room, those who could sit here were all high-level executives of the top hundred corporations in the world. Jun Shiling was the youngest of them.

    However, he was sitting at the head of the table in a tailored suit. No one would question his ability.

    Jun Shiling exined his views on the global economy in the meeting room. He led the way and gathered the data easily. His confident and powerful aura made everyone in the meeting room focus on his exnation.

    As Xia Wanyuan took notes, she sighed in her heart.?<i>Jun Shiling is really charming when he worked.</i>

    Time passed quickly, and Jun Shiling ended the morning meeting. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw a pair of bright eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan had never been stingy with her praises. ¡°Jun Shiling, you spoke so well.¡±

    An unnatural look shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He had heard these praises countless times from others, but hearing them from Xia Wanyuan made his heart jump with joy and nervousness.

    Jun Shiling took off his coat and loosened his tie. Then, he walked over and covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes with his hand.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was a little hoarse.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan was puzzled as her eyes were suddenly covered.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to resist kissing you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan shut up.

    Her eyshes fluttered gently in Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. Every move was like a small fan, making Jun Shiling¡¯s palm itch and his heart tingle. As if he was scalded, Jun Shiling hurriedly retracted his hand.

    ¡°Did I speak well?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sparkling eyes and was delighted.

    ¡°Mm, very well. There are just some things I don¡¯t understand.¡±

    ¡°Let me teach you.¡± After Jun Shiling finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan was about to hand over the notebook when Jun Shiling added, ¡°Give me a benefit and I¡¯ll teach you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan understood the benefits Jun Shiling was referring to and her face flushed red. She looked up and saw the teasing look in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, and her heart sank.

    Even a rabbit would bite when it was anxious, let alone Xia Wanyuan, who had experienced countless storms.

    In her previous life, when she attacked Anbei County, the county governor had no other ws. His only w was his lust.

    Xia Wanyuan had sent people to train twelve beauties for him, and all of them had learned good charm techniques.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had never eaten pork before, she understood human psychology, especially now, she understood men¡¯s psychology even more.

    Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s tie and handed the notebook to him. She lowered her voice. ¡°Teacher Jun, please teach me.¡±

    Jun Shiling was aroused almost instantly, his eyes dark. ¡°Where did you learn all this?¡±

    ¡°Teacher Jun, you taught me well.¡± There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, which had a hint of charm. Jun Shiling reached out to hug her, but Xia Wanyuan flipped over nimbly, dodged Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, and stood aside.

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to teach. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to leave.

    ¡°I¡¯ll teach, I¡¯ll teach. Come here, I won¡¯t tease you anymore, okay?¡± Jun Shiling helplessly suppressed the agitation in his heart. He had never been able to do anything to Xia Wanyuan.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan sit back down.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± finally ended with everyone¡¯s reluctance to part. Young Master Fu Yi, Lin Xiao, and his junior sister, Tian Ying Er, lived in seclusion in the mountains while Shen Pei endured her life in the gorgeous pce.

    In the television drama of the same period, the viewership ratings of ¡°The Long Bad¡± was outstanding. It could be said to be a ssic drama that drove low and traveled high this year.

    Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity had also soared because of this drama. Her acting skills had also been recognized by industry insiders. A production team had taken the initiative toe looking for her, wanting to invite her to film a drama.

 Chapter 309 - Heartache Picking the Script

    <h4>Chapter 309: Heartache Picking the Script</h4>

    ¡°Tang Yin, which scripts do you think are better in here?¡±

    There was a pile of scripts on the table in the studio.

    The role of the Heavenly Spirit Princess that Xia Wanyuan yed was rich in quality and deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone. Everyone liked her very much, and her ending was rather difficult to reconcile with. Even though the grand finale had already ended, the poprity caused by it on the Inte did not decrease at all.

    Many production teams threw out olive branches to her, hoping to use her remaining poprity as the Heavenly Spirit Princess to promote their drama.

    ¡°There are three that are okay. One is the second female lead in a fantasy drama, one is the second female lead in a youthful style, and the other is the script for the first female lead in a small production team that I¡¯ve never heard of.¡± Tang Yin pulled these three scripts out of a pile of documents.

    ¡°These three are indeed not bad. Let¡¯s give these three to Wanyuan and see what she has to say.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    When she returned home after the day¡¯s meeting, Xia Wanyuan felt especially tired. Even though she had only listened for a day, she had spent a lot of energy and effort to understand the contents of the meeting.

    Thinking of it this way, Jun Shiling had actually worked much harder than she had imagined after being in such a high-pressure job for so many years.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, Jun Shiling turned his head.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard,¡± Xia Wanyuan said seriously.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart warmed. ¡°Is your heart aching for me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    She was not a person who said one thing but meant another. She indeed felt that Jun Shiling made her heart ache.

    She had once controlled the entire Xia Dynasty and had experienced the peak of power, so she could understand how people in power were treading on thin ice.

    It was easy to be a useless ruler, but it was difficult to be a wise ruler.

    Furthermore, in modern society, thepetition in political, economic, and cultural aspects was much greater than her time.

    ¡°Then let me hug you, okay?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was very solemn, but his expression was extremely serious, without the usual teasing.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling waited until Xia Wanyuan nodded before pulling her into his arms, as if he was hugging a rare treasure in the world.

    This hug was not charming at all and was filled with gentleness and cherish.

    He felt that everything was worth it. The pain he had suffered when he was young, the sadness and loneliness he had felt along the way, seemed to have been gently erased by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    Jun Shiling had never believed in fate, but at this moment, he was extremely grateful that fate had sent her to him.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan received the script that Tang Yin had sent her. The first fantasy book was a big production with a famous director. Although she was only the second female lead, she was much better than the female lead of many low-cost dramas.

    The second book was a youth school drama, but the story was a little old-fashioned. There were misunderstandings, abusive rtionships, and a hodgepodge of inws. It gave Xia Wanyuan a headache.

    The third book was a script for a small production. Xia Wanyuan flipped through it and was attracted by the plot.

    Many television dramas nowadays were adapted from novels. The third script was an adaptation of a national novel called ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan found the original novel and read the first ten chapters. Then, she decided to act in this role.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Forget it, Brother Li. I still have a suite. I¡¯ll sell this house and return to my hometown after paying my debts. Even if I think that my writing is good, what¡¯s the use? Who would notice?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s persist for a while more. What if that Xia Wanyuan is willing to ept our script?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? I heard that the production team of ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ also sent her a script. How could they abandon that kind of big production ande to our small production team?¡±

 Chapter 310 - Moon Like Frost

    <h4>Chapter 310: Moon Like Frost</h4>

    In the chaotic food stall, two middle-aged men were sitting together and drinking. One of them was Li Heng, who had sent Xia Wanyuan a script. Sitting beside him was the original author of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, Yang Jiu.

    ¡°Old Yang, I¡¯m sorry. Perhaps I shouldn¡¯t have let youe to Beijing to earn a living back then.¡± Li Heng drank a mouthful of wine and looked at the blurred lights in front of him. He felt suffocated.

    ¡°If not for you back then, I would have starved to death. I¡¯ve never med you. All these years, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ve been persisting in. In the end, there¡¯s no ce for me to settle down in this prosperous capital city.¡±

    In the early years, Yang Jiu was also a very popr online novel author. He had earned a lot of money and bought a house in Beijing. It could be said that he had established his roots in Beijing.

    Over the years, IP adaptations were popr. Yang Jiu was a stubborn person. He had seen too many examples of adaptations that had been destroyed. He did not want his blood and sweat to be ruined by others and had rejected many chances.

    A few months ago, when they were discussing cooperation, the investor had said that he would definitely respect the novel and the author¡¯s opinion. However, when Yang Jiu received the revised script, he realized that his novel was in a mess. It hadpletely changed.

    He would rather not have money than let those people defile his work like this. Hence, he terminated his contract with the investor at that time. Of course, he also paid arge sum ofpensation.

    Yang Jiu calcted that after he sold the house, he could fill in the final payment. Then, he would bring his family back to his hometown in Nanjing. During the years he had been in Beijing, he would treat it as a dream.

    ¡°Alright, this toast is to you, Brother Li. Let¡¯s meet again someday.¡± The thirty-year-old man, Yang Jiu, had bloodshot eyes as he raised his ss at Li Heng.

    The clinking of sses was the sound of parting flute and dream breaking confusion.

    He staggered back to his house. His virtuous wife was waiting for him at the door. Yang Jiu felt guilty. If he didn¡¯t take it so seriously, his wife wouldn¡¯t have to follow him everywhere now. However, he couldn¡¯t convince himself to cater to those investors.

    ¡°Ah Rong, I want to sell the house. Let¡¯s go back to our hometown in Nanjing.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± His wife nodded. She had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with worry. ¡°As long as we¡¯re together, there¡¯s nothing to worry about. I¡¯ll go and pack my luggage.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡­¡± Yang Jiu choked as he looked at his wife¡¯s back. He suddenly wondered if his persistence had any meaning.

    He had clearly turned a blind eye to it so that his wife and children would not have to wander about.?<i>Was it really worth it to make my family suffer with me for that little bit of faith in my heart?</i>

    Yang Jiu did not sleep the entire night. The ashtray on the balcony was already filled with ashes.

    The sky gradually lit up. Yang Jiu sighed and took out his phone to find the investor¡¯s number.

    If he was alone, he would not bow down to the capital even if he had to eat sh * t. However, he had family and he could not let them suffer with him.

    With trembling hands, Yang Jiu hesitated a few times before finally deciding to make a call.

    However, before he could make the call, Li Heng called.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Yang Jiu, who had not slept the entire night, sounded tired.

    ¡°Old Yang! Quick, get ready. See you at Time Cafe at ten o¡¯clock. Xia Wanyuan has agreed to ept our script!!!¡± Li Heng was extremely excited over the phone. ¡°Don¡¯t forget! I¡¯ll go and prepare the documents first. Bye.¡±

    Yang Jiu was still a little stunned when the call was hung up. He didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to ept his script, but no matter what, this was a turning point.

    Once the main lead was confirmed, he could start to pull in investments. This meant that he had a chance to catch his breath.

    He had watched the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± before, and he was certain that if Xia Wanyuan acted as his main character, she would definitely y this role well.

    His wife was still packing when she saw Yang Jiu excitedly changing and washing up.

    ¡°Honey, don¡¯t pack for now. I¡¯ll go out for a while and wait for me toe back.¡± Then, Yang Jiu left the house.

    In Time Cafe, even though they had already seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shocking beauty on television, Li Heng and Yang Jiu were still stunned when they saw her standing in front of them.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Li Heng. He¡¯s the author of ¡®Moon Like Frost¡¯, Yang Jiu.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice woke them from their daze and they hurriedly introduced themselves.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen your script. It¡¯s written very well. When will we be on set?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Li Heng and Yang Jiu were shocked. They had never seen such a straightforward actor before.?<i>She entered the production team just like that?</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s like this. We¡¯re a small production team, and the investors haven¡¯t arrived yet, so we can¡¯t start for the time being.¡± After knowing that Xia Wanyuan was going to act in ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, Li Heng sent emails to some filmpanies. Some of them already had intentions of investing, but they didn¡¯t have the time to finalize the details.

    ¡°No investors?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    Yang Jiu¡¯s heart sank when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression. Even he felt that asking Xia Wanyuan to act in a drama where their funds had yet to gather was making her suffer. He thought this cooperation could not be negotiated.

    ¡°Although weck money, I¡­¡± Li Heng still wanted to find other reasons to persuade Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I can be an investor.¡± Xia Wanyuan interrupted Li Heng. ¡°50 million? 100 million? How much do you need? Just give me a detailed report.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Until Xia Wanyuan left the coffee shop, the two of them still seemed to be in a dream.

    ¡°Did she just say that she wanted to invest?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°She also said that you will personally write the adaptation of the script, right?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°I think she must be a god sent by the heavens to save us.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After confirming her cooperation with the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, Tang Yin rejected the other scripts.

    ¡°What? Xia Wanyuan rejected our script?¡± The director of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± was in disbelief. If not for the fact that Xia Wanyuan had attracted a lot of fans and had the gimmick of elegance, such a big production like his would never have been acted by Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>I didn¡¯t expect this little celebrity to be so ungrateful? Not only did she reject my script, but she even turned around and chose a small production team that was not even fit to carry shoes for ¡°The Moon Pce¡±. Isn¡¯t this clearly pping my face?</i>

    ¡°She don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for her. Forget it. Let¡¯s not calcte anymore. The Bai Lian that came to the auditionst time, inform her toe over.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    There had been many opinions online about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s uing drama. Over the past few days, the production team of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± had followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo. Everyone guessed that Xia Wanyuan was going to act in ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    A group of anti-fans was jealous of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s good resources. Many passers-by were also somewhat puzzled.?<i>How could Xia Wanyuan receive such good resources?</i>

    Soon, the official Weibo ount of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± began to announce the actors. What was surprising was that Xia Wanyuan was not included. This triggered everyone¡¯s discussion, and many haters took the opportunity to appear.

 Chapter 311 - Everyones Doubts

    <h4>Chapter 311: Everyone¡¯s Doubts</h4>

    [ Eh, I thought Xia Wanyuan was going to act in ¡®The Moon Pce¡¯. ]

    [ You¡¯re thinking too much. ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ is such arge production. How can Xia Wanyuan act in it? Although her role as the Heavenly Spirit Princess was alright, it shouldn¡¯t have soared so quickly. ]

    [ Let me say this quietly. I think she¡¯s more suitable than Bai Lian. At least she¡¯s prettier than Bai Lian. ]

    [ I just received news that Xia Wanyuan had epted a script for a small production. It¡¯s a domestic drama. ]

    [ The difference is too great. Could it be that Xia Wanyuan was not selected by ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ and could only act in ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯? ]

    Soon, the official Weibo ount of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± released an official announcement about the main lead. Everyone took a look and saw that it was really Xia Wanyuan.

    Netizens who were up to no good ran to flip through the creative team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Not only was the male lead not confirmed, but even the filming team was not in position. They had adapted a civil country novel.

    Civil country dramas had been very popr a few years ago, but in recent years, everyone had realized that many television dramas had used the excuse of a Civil Country drama to film scenes of modern love where one hated the other. It was extremely melodramatic.

    Furthermore, country dramas had a specific background of the era. In order to pursue visual aesthetic, many television dramas did not put in the effort to study the clothes of the country. Instead, they directly wore western suits and dresses.

    As a result, when the audience saw the country drama, the words ¡°melodramatic, crude¡± automatically appeared in their minds.

    [ Emmmm, although Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t good enough for a big production like ¡®Moon Pce¡¯, she shouldn¡¯t be so cheap as to ept such a production. ]

    [ Forgive me for being direct, but I¡¯ve never seen this director or this novel before. It¡¯s actually a domestic drama. Xia Wanyuan shouldn¡¯t be in such a miserable state, right? ]

    [ Iugh. Xia Wanyuan is quite brave. Now that the reputation of the country drama is so bad, she actually dares to ept it. Furthermore, it¡¯s a drama without a big director or production. I really admire her courage. ]

    [ It¡¯s rare for me to have a female celebrity I like, but in the end, she doesn¡¯t care about her feathers at all. Forget it, forget it. I won¡¯t like her. I won¡¯t be worried in the future. ]

    [ The person in front, stop acting as a fan. I believe in Yuan Yuan¡¯s taste anyway. Since she has decided to film ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯, she must have her reasons. You people, don¡¯te back and praise our Yuan Yuan for acting well. Hmph. ]

    Because of themotion caused by this casting, basically no one in the industry was optimistic about Xia Wanyuan epting ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Shen Qian¡¯s management and management ability were indeed very strong. It hadn¡¯t been long before Shen Qian had already firmly grasped control of the entirepany and eliminated the old people from Xia Yuanqing¡¯s era.

    The Xia familypany, this oldpany, was now ready to go with Shen Qian, and the Moon Bay project was the first big battle this newpany was going to fight.

    Xia Wanyuan had originally nned to go for an inspection after the old master¡¯s birthday banquet. Because of a problem with the local construction project, Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to consider going to the Moon Bay project for a field trip before the old master¡¯s birthday banquet.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was studying the information on the Moon Bay project, had no time to care about themotion online.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Continent F was different from China¡¯s mountains and rivers. It was peaceful and peaceful, and this ce was covered in the dark clouds of war all year round.

    The sound of explosions could be heard from time to time. The people walking barefoot on the street seemed to be used to such a life.

    ¡°Bang!¡± An explosion resounded in the northwest. Thergest slum in Continent F sounded. People only nced at it in surprise before returning to calm.

    After all, new weapons were shot every day in this ce.

 Chapter 312 - Yan Ci Male Lead

    <h4>Chapter 312: Yan Ci Male Lead</h4>

    ¡°Boss, Poison Scorpion 1 has been sessfully tested.¡±

    In the presidential suite of the Yangfan Hotel, Jayce was reporting to the man in the room respectfully.

    ¡°Try it.¡± The man¡¯s cold voice sounded with a hint of casualziness.

    ¡°Are we still going to try the river in Chary?¡± Jayce asked carefully.

    ¡°No, try it there.¡± The man pointed at the window with his fingertips and narrowed his long eyes.

    Jayce looked in the direction where Old K pointed with his finger. The red stars were shining in the sunlight. Jayce¡¯s gaze turned cold. The consequences of this attempt would be huge.

    However, the boss¡¯s orders were everything. The man in front of them had led the entire underground kingdom to its current position. Any orders from him had the ability to make them absolutely believe and obey.

    ¡°Yes, Boss. I¡¯ll go down first.¡± Jayce bowed and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Wait, pack up ande back with me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Boss.¡±

    In the sky, pure white wings whistled as they streaked across the blue sky and white clouds. In the endless clearness, thergest storm was nurtured.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Are you useless?! We haven¡¯t found out anything even until now. Get lost!¡±

    Ever since she came back from the bar, Shi Tian had been locking herself in her room and not contacting anyone. She did not even see Liu Xingchuan.

    ¡°Miss, we have some clues. That night at the bar, someone saw the Third Miss of the Wei family and the people around her approaching the cup where you drank. We¡¯ve checked and found the fingerprints of their group on that cup.¡±

    ¡°The Wei family? Continue to investigate. Don¡¯t let anyone off.¡± Shi Tian¡¯s voice gradually calmed down with a hint of ruthlessness.

    ¡°Yes, Miss. We also discovered that Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin had once appeared around the bar that night.¡±

    ¡°Tang Yin?¡± When Shi Tian heard this name, her heart was filled with ferocity.

    <i>Yes, she must have done it. Now, myputer still has photos of Tang Yin from back then. Tang Yin must have used the same method to take revenge on me!!</i>

    Thinking that she, the dignified Second Miss of the Shi family, had actually been schemed by this little slut Tang Yin, Shi Tian was furious.?<i>It was really my mistake for not killing her back then!</i>

    Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered, Shi Tian clenched her fists. She wanted Tang Yin and Xia Wanyuan to suffer a fate worse than death.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Ever since the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± announced Xia Wanyuan, more male leads hade to audition, but Li Heng was not satisfied.

    Qin Wu wanted to work with Xia Wanyuan for another drama and tried to send a resume to the production team, but he was stopped by his assistant, who threatened to slit his throat.

    Currently, there were only three male leads that were selected for the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Furthermore, Li Heng and Yang Jiu were not especially satisfied.

    This drama was their chance to turn the tables. Moreover, Xia Wanyuan trusted them so much, so they wanted to do their best in every detail.

    The male and female lead were the souls of a drama. The other soul was still not confirmed, and the two of them were extremely anxious.

    At that moment, an unexpected call came in.

    Even though the other party had repeatedly guaranteed that he was not a liar, Li Heng still could not believe it until he agreed to an audition with the other party.

    Seeing the elegant man walk in,

    Li Heng pinched himself hard. Only then did he believe that it was not a dream.

    <i>Yan Ci?</i>

    <i>Yan Ci!!!!!!</i>

    <i>Yan Ci was actually auditioning for the male lead of my drama?!! Did I step into a dogshit pit these two days?!</i>

 Chapter 313 - The Princess Wearing a Cheongsam Wild Rose

    <h4>Chapter 313: The Princess Wearing a Cheongsam Wild Rose</h4>

    Yan Ci, who was only 24 years old, was already holding the Fei Tian Award and the Golden and Best Actor Award. He could be said to be the youngest Best Actor in history.

    It was fine if he only had outstanding acting skills, but the key was that this person was also a top celebrity in the entertainment industry.

    The word ¡°traffic¡± had been very controversial since it appeared. On the one hand, it symbolized the poprity of celebrities. On the other hand, there was also a hidden meaning that celebrities only had poprity and no ability.

    Top-notch traffic meant top-notch poprity. Correspondingly, if an artiste¡¯s morals were not good enough, they would be attacked by many anti-fans.

    Yan Ci could be said to be the only artiste in the entertainment industry who was regarded as a top-notch celebrity. At the same time, he would not be mocked for his ability and not be worthy of poprity.

    Back then, when he debuted as a beautiful man, he was supported by fans because of his handsome appearance and outstanding singing and dancing ability.

    Just as people in the industry scolded him for relying on his face to make a living and leading the entertainment industry astray, Yan Ci turned around and won the Fei Tian Award with a spy drama.

    And he had won this award not only in name, but also in reality. The spy war drama he had starred in back then had swept through all the major television stations and video tforms, forming a phenomenal ¡°explosive¡±.

    From then on, Yan Ci became more and more popr. He was only 24 years old, but he had already be a role model in the entertainment industry. Now, if they wanted to ask him to film a drama, they would have to pay an astronomical price. They might not even be able to hire him.

    Li Heng swallowed his saliva. He would never have thought that Yan Ci would participate in this drama.

    ¡°Shall we start the audition?¡± Yan Ci smiled. After receiving Li Heng¡¯s approval, he began the audition.

    The Best Actor was indeed the Best Actor. He easily brought everyone present into the character scene.

    After the audition, everyone was immersed in Yan Ci¡¯s passionate speech for a long time. They felt the hot blood in their chests surging.

    Li Heng decided on the spot to cast Yan Ci. Fortunately, his assistant still had some rationality. He gently pulled Li Heng¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Director, our entire budget isn¡¯t enough for Yan Ci.¡±

    Only then did Li Heng calm down. That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t afford to hire him. (italics)

    As if he knew Li Heng¡¯s concerns, Yan Ci smiled humbly. ¡°Director, I came for the audition because I value the script. I don¡¯t care about the remuneration. Just give me the amount you decided to give. There¡¯s no need to worry.¡±

    At this moment, Li Heng looked at Yan Ci as if he was looking at a golden phoenix. He immediately pulled Yan Ci¡¯s manager and signed the contract, afraid that the golden phoenix would fly away if he waste.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s work together happily. Go and have a meal and rest first. Let¡¯s take this opportunity to take a publicity photo. The female lead will being over in the afternoon. You guys meet first.¡±

    Li Heng rarely paid attention to gossip, so he did not know that Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan had once had a scandal.

    Upon hearing Li Heng¡¯s words, Yan Ci¡¯s gaze flickered, but his expression remained calm and gentle. ¡°Okay, Director.¡±

    Not long after Yan Ci signed the contract, the official Weibo ount of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± released the official announcement.

    Then, the power of Yan Ci¡¯s top traffic showed. Weibopletely exploded.

    Weibo programmer: I¡¯m so tired. Really. I shouldn¡¯t havee to this ce from the beginning. If I hadn¡¯te, I wouldn¡¯t have been bald. I¡¯m sorry about my hair.

    [ I suspect that I didn¡¯t bring my eyes when I went out today. Does Yan Ci want to take on such a drama with no production team? ]

    [ Oh my god!! Hubby, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you take on this role? ]

    [ I didn¡¯t expect you to film with Xia Wanyuan. Do you still remember the scandal between Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci?? F*ck, it can¡¯t be true, right? Otherwise, I really can¡¯t think of any reason to convince myself that Yan Ci would actually ept such a lousy drama. ]

    [ Baby, wake up!!!!! What kind of lousy script is this! I protest! Did the studio force you to ept it?! I¡¯m going to kill the studio. They don¡¯t even have a conscience for the sake of money! What kind of lousy script is this for my baby? ]

    [ I¡¯ve convinced myself countless times in my heart, but I really can¡¯t find a reason for my idol to ept this drama. Other than the fact that my idol went for Xia Wanyuan, oh my god, if that¡¯s the case, I really have to stop being a fan immediately. I can¡¯t bear this painful blow. ]

    There were wails on Weibo. The power of Yan Ci was too great, causing waves of discussion.

    Together with Yang Jiu¡¯s novel ¡°Moon As Frost¡± that few people knew, the sales suddenly increased. Everyone wanted to see what the original drama Yan Ci acted in was like.

    The contract had already been signed. No matter how much controversy there was online, the filming of the production team was proceeding in an orderly manner.

    After lunch, Yan Ci waited in the film studio. The weather was a little hot now, so he sat under the big tree and read his lines.

    There was a suddenmotion not far away. Yan Ci looked up. Even he, who saw many beauties of the entertainment industry, could not help but be stunned for a moment.

    Since it was a drama about the country, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance was in the style of the country. At this moment, her hair was tied into a bun behind her head with a hairpin inserted diagonally, exuding a hint of ancient charm. She was wearing a cheongsam with bright red hundred flowers carved on it, revealing her rather charming figure.

    Xia Wanyuan held an oil paper umbre. When she looked back, it made one forget the heat of the summer, as if they were brought into the hazy mist of Jiangnan by her eyes.

    A text message sounded. Yan Ci seemed to have snapped out of his daze and lowered his head to open the message.

    ¡°Thank you for your help. If there¡¯s anything in the future, just tell me.¡±

    The sender was Fu Li.

    Yan Ci quickly typed a few lines of words and sent them out. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re too kind. The script is very good and the drama is also very good. It¡¯s not a trouble.¡±

    Yan Ci hade because he owed Fu Li a favor. Fu Li had done him a great favor and had never asked him for anything. This was the only time Fu Li had asked him if he could help support the male lead.

    He flipped through the script and realized that the script was not bad, so he came over. However, he felt that he had made the right decision toe.

    Perhaps in the end, it would not be him who drove this drama, but the drama that would make him sessful again.

    Yan Ci also changed into his costume and walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Hello.¡± Yan Ci took the initiative to greet Xia Wanyuan, who nodded with a faint gaze.

    Yan Ci felt strange. This was too different from the Xia Wanyuan in his impression.

    Yan Ci had a strong aura. Li Heng was originally worried that Xia Wanyuan would be suppressed by him, but he didn¡¯t expect that during the photo shoot, Xia Wanyuan would bring out the aura of the female lead, a wild rose in the sea. Not only was she not suppressed by Yan Ci¡¯s aura, but she also became the highlight of the entire scene.

    By the time the filming ended, the night had already turned hazy. The clothes on Xia Wanyuan were all custom-made qipao that Mu Feng had prepared for her. There was no need to return them to the production team.

    The filming was too tiring, so Xia Wanyuan was toozy to remove her makeup and change her clothes. She wore a cheongsam and walked out of the base.

    Not far away, the familiar Phantom slowly drove towards her.

 Chapter 314 - Youre Torturing Me Again

    <h4>Chapter 314: You¡¯re Torturing Me Again</h4>

    ¡°I¡¯ve received news that the Poisonous Scorpion No.1 has been sessfully tested.¡±

    Looking at the faintly shining words on theputer, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned a little cold.?<i>This Old K had developed too quickly.</i>

    After typing a few words and wiping away the traces of the email, Jun Shiling looked up at the film studio and was stunned.

    The high cor entuated Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slender neck, and her fair legs were faintly visible as she walked.

    He had felt how good Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure was when he hugged her, but it was not as stunning as it looked now. The close-fitting cheongsam outlined every curve perfectly.

    The bright red cheongsam made her look like a passionate rose, mboyant and wanton.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy today?¡± While Jun Shiling was still in a daze, Xia Wanyuan had already pulled open the car door and sat in, bringing with her a fragrance.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Jun Shiling swallowed and looked out of the window, not looking at Xia Wanyuan carefully.

    ¡°I¡¯m a little sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. The journey from the base to the manor was still quite long. Xia Wanyuan leaned on the back of the chair and quickly fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling turned around and nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face with makeup, then at the exquisite floral buttons. His eyes were deep.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head moved slightly, and Jun Shiling moved closer to her. Xia Wanyuan naturally leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    Everywhere Jun Shiling looked was shockingly white. He had to close his eyes and recover.

    However, the problem of Xia Wanyuan finding a pillow after sleeping did not change under herplete trust in Jun Shiling. Instead, she became even more impudent and snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling suddenly opened his eyes, which were flushed red.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to look at Xia Wanyuan, who was still sleepy. He put down his raised hands and sighed deeply.

    <i>This woman is really¡­</i>

    Xia Wanyuan slept very well. When she woke up, the car was already parked in the manor, and she was hugging Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were closed, as if he had slept very soundly.

    Xia Wanyuan let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. Jun Shiling, who had thought that he was asleep, reached out to stop Xia Wanyuan, not letting her hand leave.

    ¡°58 minutes.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were still closed.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

    ¡°You tortured me for 58 minutes again.¡± Jun Shiling finally opened his eyes. The obvious burning desire in them burned Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan had been too familiar with this gaze of Jun Shiling¡¯s recently.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Get out of the car.¡± Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling did not want to do anything. Instead, he held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and prepared to get out of the car.

    Xia Wanyuan was still a little stunned. She had thought that Jun Shiling was going to do something to make her blush again.

    ¡°Why, are you looking forward to something?¡± Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shock, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his other hand tightened.

    ¡°No, let¡¯s go down.¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly got out of the car.

    Jun Shiling looked at her from behind. He wanted to do something, but he was afraid that he could not control his overflowing thoughts.

    The official Weibo ount of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was about to be overturned by the fans. Even Yan Ci¡¯s studio¡¯s Weibo was criticized by the fans.

    Seeing that the situation was turning more and more intense, the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± tidied up the publicity photos overnight. Then, the next morning, the official Weibo ount of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± released a set of publicity photos. When they saw it, everyone was stunned.

 Chapter 315 - Face Slapping in a Drama

    <h4>Chapter 315: Face pping in a Drama</h4>

    In the past two days, the novel ¡°Moon As Frost¡± that no one had been interested in had been sold out. Be it Yan Ci¡¯s nearly ten million fans, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, or passers-by who were watching the fun, they had all bought this novel with curiosity.

    After reading the novel, everyone had a high evaluation of it.

    Yang Jiu¡¯s ¡°Moon Like Frost¡±, was written based on the most dazzling red rose in Shanghai about her entire life with the male lead, Chu Pingjiang, during the chaotic times.

    It was different from ordinary novels in the China that portrayed national justice, but in fact, it was different from romantic love.

    Yang Jiu¡¯s novel was really depicting how ordinary people with all kinds of human weaknesses in that era of war strengthened their ideals step by step and threw themselves into the battlefield country to fight for the Chinese.

    In the novel, the most memorable person was the arrogant and willful wild rose ¡°Qin Manyue¡± in Shanghai, as well as the cold-blooded and cruel professor, Chu Pingjiang, who was actually the captain of the special forces team and appeared gentle on the surface.

    The novel had a high meaning and was tragic and passionate. After reading it, one would be intoxicated by the turbulent and hot-blooded era that Yang Jiu had portrayed.

    At that moment, the few photos released by the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± made people feel as if they had really returned to that hot-blooded era and seen those two brilliant and beautiful people.

    The first picture was of the Shanghai Theater. The red rose ¡°Qin Manyue¡± was wearing heavy makeup and a red cheongsam. The ck veil covered half of her face as she lookedzily at the audience below the stage, as if everything in the world was not in her eyes.

    The second picture was a photo of Yan Ci¡¯s drama. This photo was divided into two scenes on the left and right. On the left, Chu Pingjiang, who was dressed in a long robe, was holding a book and standing in the ssroom with a gentle smile as he taught. The sunlight outside the window shone on him at the right time.

    On the right, Chu Pingjiang, who was dressed in a military uniform, was hidden in the darkness. At that moment, the corners of his lips were pursed tightly. His entire body was in a state of alertness. The muzzle of the gun could be vaguely seen on the sleeve of his right hand.

    The third picture was a two-person photo.

    In front of the ancient windows, Qin Manyue leanedzily against the wall and looked at Chu Pingjiang flirtatiously. At that moment, Chu Pingjiang was dressed in military uniform and staring at Qin Manyue with a sharp expression.

    Although she was smiling as she looked into Chu Pingjiang¡¯s eyes, in this picture, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura did not show any signs of weakening. As the two of them looked at each other, they were filled with an intense tension.

    It made one wonder what had happened between the two of them.

    [ Mommy duck, it looks a little good. ]

    [ The person in front, be more confident and remove the ¡®a little¡¯. This is too beautiful. I¡¯m indeed a dog for looks. I actually feel that I can look forward to ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ now. ]

    [ As expected, my fans are right. I knew that Yan Ci wouldn¡¯t ept a drama for no reason. Look at this drama photo. This time, Yan Ci is going to challenge a two-faced characters. I¡¯m looking forward to it! ]

    [ A teacher in a long gown, a two-faced military officer with a gun. Oh my god!!! This is too exciting!!! Hubby, I¡¯ll give my life to you! ]

    [ You¡¯re all looking at Yan Ci. Then I¡¯ll quietly carry Xia Wanyuan away. How did she grow? She¡¯s too beautiful. If she stands there, she¡¯ll be a living red rose in Shanghai. ]

    [ The person in front, put her down. Xia Wanyuan is mine! ]

 Chapter 316 - The Princesss Domineering Counterattack

    <h4>Chapter 316: The Princess¡¯s Domineering Counterattack</h4>

    It was difficult for everyone toment. Although the publicity photos released by the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had temporarily stabilized a portion of the fans, there were still some fans who felt that Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes were lowering their standards and consuming their poprity.

    Many fans were furious, but Yan Ci had already signed the contract and the production team had already announced it. There was no way to reverse the situation, so everyone could only resign to fate and obediently promote Yan Ci¡¯s new drama.

    However, in a fan group, there would always be some especially radical people. As a top-notch celebrity, there were bound to be some extreme fans in the huge fan group.

    In their hearts, Yan Ci had always been a male god who was on the level of a high-end Best Actor. To them, it was uneptable that their male god had suddenly epted a small production drama.

    Furthermore, the female lead who acted in the drama had once stuck to Yan Ci, causing the scandal between Yan Ci and her to be trending on Weibo for three days. Anyone who liked Yan Ci for a longer time would know about this.

    These extreme fans naturally would not vent their anger on their idol. Hence, Xia Wanyuan, who was acting with Yan Ci, became their target to vent their anger.

    There were some people on Weibo who specialized in selling celebrity schedules to earn money for their fans. Some extreme fans had bought Xia Wanyuan¡¯s advertisement schedule. After knowing that she was filming advertisements for Hays potato chips at the film studioplex, they all went out.

    ¡°Okay, you did a great job. Have a rest.¡±

    Today was the closing shoot for the Hays potato chipsmercial. Xia Wanyuan was in a good state. Together with the photographer, she had basicallypleted the overall work.

    ¡°Miss Xia, a fan just came over and said that she was giving you a gift. She also gave you water and snacks.¡±

    At that moment, a staff member stepped forward and handed a bottle of water and a bag to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had grown up in the royal family in her previous life. Although her parents were very loving and she had never been persecuted since she was young, she had learned all the conspiracy studies that she needed to learn.

    Hence, since she was young, she had developed the habit of not drinking and not eating what outsiders gave her. She was very touched by the things her fans sent her and ced them aside.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you actually have fans to send you things. Not bad. It looks like ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ did not broadcast for nothing.¡±Chen Yun walked over and looked at the bag. It seemed to be filled with snacks. The fans were quite thoughtful.

    ¡°Your fans are so good to you,¡± the staff added.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. This was the first time she had received a gift from a fan, and she was still a little touched.

    ¡°Hey, Wanyuan, why is there a piece of ck on your dress?¡± Tang Yin suddenly saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress was dyed ck.

    ¡°I probably bumped into the machine beside me just now.¡±

    ¡°Let me wipe it down for you.¡± As Tang Yin spoke, she took out a tissue and opened the water that the fans had given her. Then, she poured a little of it on the paper and prepared to wipe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress.

    However, when the water was poured into the paper, Tang Yin frowned and pinched the paper twice. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with this water.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the paper in Tang Yin¡¯s hand. As the water slowly evaporated, the paper towel actually became a hard piece.

    Tang Yin poured some mineral water on the ground. After the water evaporated, there was only a piece of glue left.

    ¡°There¡¯s glue in this water!¡± Tang Yin twisted the water bottle and put it back, her eyes filled with anger. ¡°This is too much. Fortunately, you didn¡¯t drink it. If you did, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡±

    To be able to freeze into glue in such a short period of time, the strength of the glue showed that someone was deliberately trying to harm Xia Wanyuan!!

    Chen Yun took the snack bag by the side and opened the small cake. There was a half dead rat inside, and the other half was in an exquisite chocte box.

    Even as a man, Chen Yun felt disgusted by the rat.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at this scene and was very calm. ¡°Call the police. I¡¯ll continue filming.¡±

    The rest of the filming work was done very quickly. After Xia Wanyuan finished filming, when she brought Tang Yin and Chen Yun out, there were a few women standing not far away. They were dressed boldly, but their appearances could not be seen with hats on.

    Xia Wanyuan nced over, and those people hurriedly lowered their heads.

    ¡°Let me drive.¡± When they arrived at the car, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped Chen Yun. Chen Yun handed her the car keys.

    As expected, a ckmercial car chased closely behind Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car, sticking very close.

    Not far away, there was a very urgent turn. The car behind seemed to be only focused on chasing Xia Wanyuan and did not notice that Xia Wanyuan had suddenly increased her speed, and the car behind her suddenly increased its speed.

    When they were about to turn the corner, ¡°Hold on tight.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned and drifted, moving the car out of the original driveway.

    The MPV behind did not react in time and maintained its straight speed. It rushed to the roadside railing and collided with the mountain in front. The front of the car was deformed.

    Then, the car door was opened and three young girls hurriedly escaped.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, you bitch. Did you do it on purpose?!!¡± A red-haired girl ran down and stopped in front of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Why are you following me?¡± Xia Wanyuan had thought that the people following her were sent by Shi Tian. She didn¡¯t expect them to be a few immature girls.

    Furthermore, the way they looked at her was as if she was their father¡¯s enemy. There was strong hatred in their eyes.

    Even with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s intelligence, she could not understand why these people were here.

    ¡°I followed you and I wanted to tell you a b * tch. You¡¯re not fit to act with Yan Ci. Who do you think you are? If you dare to continue acting, you¡¯ll know what¡¯s scary!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan finally understood what these youngdies were up to. ¡°You¡¯re Yan Ci¡¯s anti-fans?¡±

    ¡°Bullsh * t! We are true fans of Yan Ci¡¯s brother. We won¡¯t allow you to insult our Yan Ci¡¯s brother!¡± When the little girl spoke of Yan Ci, her eyes were filled with fanaticism.

    ¡°How can you call yourself a true love fan if you hurt others in the name of liking someone? Then your Brother Yan Ci is quite unlucky to be liked by you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled coldly.

    As if she had been poked in the sore spot by Xia Wanyuan, the red-haired girl was furious and almost hysterical. She did not know where her hostility towards Xia Wanyuan came from. ¡°In short, I¡¯m warning you. quit the role immediately, or we¡¯ll make you die an ugly death.¡±

    ¡°Little sister, then just wait and see. I definitely won¡¯t quit the role.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the police car that was screaming in the distance and closed the car window under the red-haireddy¡¯s hateful gaze.

    That night, the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan had a conflict with Yan Ci¡¯s fans¡± trended on the trending topic and attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

 Chapter 317 - Reversal Official Clarification

    <h4>Chapter 317: Reversal Official rification</h4>

    A marketing ount revealed that because of a conflict between Yan Ci¡¯s fan¡¯s car and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car, Yan Ci¡¯s fan was sent to the police station by Xia Wanyuan.

    Then, this marketing ount released a photo of Yan Ci¡¯s fan¡¯s car hitting the roadside and deforming.

    Fans all had their own group. Even if they did not know each other, as long as everyone was a fan of Yan Ci, they would be more intimate on the Inte than strangers. Many fan groups called each other family.

    Seeing that the car had already crashed into the road, the fans who were already fuming because Yan Ci had epted the script for ¡°Moon As Frost¡± and wanted to film with Xia Wanyuan were ignited.

    [ Is it a big deal to be a celebrity??? A celebrity can casually bully a in person? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan, you¡¯re too much. Why? Does your family own the road?? Can you walk while others can¡¯t? ]

    [ The police station is really funny. How can they arrest people without understanding the situation? Why don¡¯t they arrest them together? Why does Xia Wanyuan have special privileges? ]

    [ I strongly object to Yan Ci filming with a person like Xia Wanyuan. If Yan Ci doesn¡¯t retreat, I¡¯ll immediately stop being a fan. ]

    [ Are you fans crazy? I didn¡¯t even understand what was going on in your heads. How did you know it was our Yuan Yuan¡¯s fault? ]

    [ Get out, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans. ]

    Even though Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans argued logically in thements, the difference in numbers was too great. Thements were practically one-sided criticism.

    It had not been easy for Xia Wanyuan to gain the good impression of some passers-by because of the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡±. Now, she was about to lose it because of this conflict.

    Star Creation Entertainment discovered the public opinion on the Inte immediately. Now that thepany¡¯s public rtions department had been consolidated, it was no longer as chaotic as before.

    After understanding the situation, thepany was relieved. They waited quietly for public opinion to ferment. When public opinion was about to boil, thepany finally made a move.

    The new public rtions manager was a rtively capable and straightforward person. After he obtained the evidence from the police station, he directly sent it to his subordinates.

    ¡°Manager, should we post it directly??¡± His subordinate trembled and asked while suppressing his disgust.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Send it.¡± The manager did not feel that anything was wrong.

    Then, the major marketing ounts that had cooperative rtionships with Star Creation Entertainment received a few scary photos. They subconsciously thought that the anti-fans were threatening them and directly blocked and banned him.

    When they reacted, they looked at the name seriously.

    <i>Oh my god!!! It¡¯s not anti-fans!! It¡¯s a sugar daddy!!!</i>

    They hurriedly invited their sugar daddy out of the small ck house carefully and sent the photos ording to his instructions.

    Just as Yan Ci¡¯s fans were unanimously criticizing Xia Wanyuan, the truth about the conflict between Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci¡¯s fans began to leak.

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan who bullied Yan Ci¡¯s fans at all. Look at these. They were all given to Xia Wanyuan by Yan Ci¡¯s fans. Mineral water filled with glue, cake and chocte with dead rats. Even the collision was caused by these fans who insisted on following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car. In the end, they crashed into it because their driving skills were too bad.¡±

    It was really amazing for straight men in the police station to take photos. The photos that were already disgusting were taken like horror films, making one¡¯s heart turn cold.

 Chapter 318 - A Man Cant Be Jealous

    <h4>Chapter 318: A Man Can¡¯t Be Jealous</h4>

    [ Fans nowadays are too scary. ]

    [ If I were Xia Wanyuan, I would send her to the police station too. That¡¯s too vicious. ]

    [ Serves her right. Xia Wanyuan was originally a spicy chicken. She didn¡¯t have the ability and still wanted to act with Yan Ci. Nice gift. ]

    [ The person in front, I just flipped through your homepage. You¡¯re only in primary school. Can you not learn how to chase celebrities? Learn your morals first before chasing celebrities! ]

    [ Oh my god, I don¡¯t even dare to take another look. I don¡¯t even dare to imagine how frightened the delicate Yuan Yuan will be when she sees this. My heart aches!!! Cry, cry, cry. ]

    Chen Yun expressed: ¡°Your goddess is quite delicate, but she¡¯s not weak. It¡¯s even less likely that she¡¯ll be frightened. After all, she¡¯s a woman who holds a baseball bat and blows someone¡¯s head open.¡±

    Following that, the police station also came out to make a statement and advise everyone to be rational and chase celebrities and not do anything extreme.

    As the youngdies were still underage, the police department released them after criticizing them.

    Although the red-haired girl had promised at the police station, she was still very indignant. She was a very active fan with a little less than ten thousand fans in Yan Ci¡¯s fan club. On the day she returned home, she posted a long post on Weibo.

    ¡°I just came back and saw that there were many fans who scolded me in the private messages. Although I was punished, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m the shame of the fan industry. I just love my Yan Ci too much. I don¡¯t want him to have anything to do with Xia Wanyuan. I don¡¯t want his reputation to be tainted at all.¡±

    Many fans criticized her, and at the same time, there were people who supported her.

    Yan Ci had just learned of this matter and went online to take a look. He happened to see thements of this so-called ¡°fan¡±. Yan Ci reposted her Weibo directly and wrote, ¡°You¡¯re hurting others in the name of loving me. If you¡¯re like this, please don¡¯t love me.¡±

    After thements, regardless of the huge waves on the Inte, Yan Ci asked Li Heng for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number and wanted to apologize to her.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the garden reading a script while Jun Shiling was busy with work.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan had repeatedly emphasized that she was not frightened and did not need anyone to apany her, Jun Shiling still declined thepany¡¯s work and apanied Xia Wanyuan in the manor.

    The ringtone suddenly rang. Xia Wanyuan saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Because of the extreme fan incident, Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button warily.

    ¡°Hello.¡±

    ¡°Hello, is this Miss Xia?¡± Yan Ci¡¯s gentle voice came from the phone.

    ¡°Hello, Mr. Yan.¡± Xia Wanyuan recognized Yan Ci¡¯s voice. Jun Shiling, who was reading documents, suddenly looked up.

    ¡°I asked for your number from Director Li. I¡¯m really sorry, because my fans have caused you such trouble.¡± Yan Ci¡¯s tone was very sincere.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m not frightened. They¡¯ve been punished too. Mr. Yan, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    ¡°I want to treat you to a meal to calm down. Or if you need anything, tell me. I¡¯ll definitely do what I can.¡± Yan Ci did not have any other intentions. He knew that Fu Li had taken good care of Xia Wanyuan. Now that he had frightened Xia Wanyuan, he only wanted topensate her properly.

    ¡°There¡¯s really no need.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be polite with me.¡±

    ¡°You dropped your script,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said on the phone, making it impossible for Yan Ci to continue.

    They were both men, so how could he not hear the strength in Jun Shiling¡¯s tone? Yan Ci was surprised.?<i>Could Xia Wanyuan have a boyfriend?</i>

    ¡°Then, Miss Xia, you¡¯re busy. If there¡¯s anything you need help with, I¡¯ll definitely help you as long as you ask.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan nced at the script in herp, then looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°It fell?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± It was rare for Jun Shiling to not reply.

    Xia Wanyuan did not probe further and continued to read the script, ignoring Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile, his heart pounding.

    <i>If I was always jealous, would Xia Wanyuan think that I am very petty?</i>

    Even though Jun Shiling¡¯s intelligence was outstanding, this was the first time he had experienced love.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reaction just now, Jun Shiling felt that it was the first time he could not continue reading the documents. He took the phone by the side.

    For the first time in his life, he used a search engine to search for a problem that had nothing to do with work.

    ¡°Men are always jealous.¡± Before he could finish her question, a pile of answers had already appeared.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a good habit for men to be jealous.¡±

    ¡°Men always look very ungentlemanly when they¡¯re jealous.¡±

    ¡°A man¡¯s jealousy will make a woman despise you more and more.¡±

    Jun Shiling: ¡­

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been reading the script and not speaking, Jun Shiling found a topic. ¡°Was it a colleague who called just now?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded as she read the script.

    ¡°Why did he call?¡±

    ¡°He wants to treat me to a meal.¡± Once Xia Wanyuan said this, she could guess what Jun Shiling¡¯s expression would be.

    However, to her surprise, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression remained calm. ¡°It¡¯s only right for colleagues to have a meal together to improve their rtionship. Is the production team going together?¡±

    ¡°It should be just me and him,¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and said leisurely.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°That¡¯s pretty good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that it was a little strange and felt like teasing him. ¡°Mm, then I¡¯ll tell himter that I want to eat again.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly and continued to read the document. However, the page number stopped on the first page for a long time.

    After reading the script, Xia Wanyuan was about to get some fruits to eat. Just as she stood up, Jun Shiling stood up. ¡°Are you going out?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm, I¡¯m going out to eat with Yan Ci.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Jun Shiling clearly wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed it and only said ¡®oh¡¯.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and left. Behind her, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression immediately turned vexed. However, he didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly turn around halfway and see Jun Shiling¡¯s conflicted and vexed expression.

    For some reason, it was a little cute. Xia Wanyuan found it funny.

    Jun Shiling had made all sorts of mental preparations, but he still could not convince himself to watch Xia Wanyuan eat with someone else. However, he had already said what he wanted to say, and he could not go back on his word. Jun Shiling felt as if an entire yellow string had grown in his heart.

    When he entered the main building in frustration, he realized that Xia Wanyuan, who had said she was going out for dinner, was lying on the sofa watching television. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡±

    ¡°I was lying. I was afraid that you would be jealous when you came back after dinner.¡±

    Jun Shiling was not angry at all when Xia Wanyuan said that he was jealous. The frustration on his face was gone.

    <i>That search app is not good. I should let Lin Jing buy it and redo it another day. What magnanimous or not? Let my wife stay by my side properly.</i>

    After dinner, an unknown number came again. This time, it was not an apology call, but a real provocation and a deration of war.

 Chapter 319 - Wei Zimu Invites to Dinner

    <h4>Chapter 319: Wei Zimu Invites to Dinner</h4>

    Hearing the arrogant and arrogant voice on the phone, Xia Wanyuan felt that she should change her phone number.?<i>Why did these people always call me?</i>

    ¡°Let me tell you¡­¡± Wei Yu was halfway through her sentence when Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Wei Yu could not believe it.

    <i>How could such a small actress be so arrogant?</i>

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s better if you don¡¯te. Anyway, you hung up first.¡± Wei Yu switched off his phone and ran to see Old Madam Wei.

    ¡°Grandma, that Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t care about our Wei family at all. I told her that you wanted to see her, so she hung up the phone directly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Old Madam Wei had a head of silver hair. Time had carved traces of wind and frost on her face. At this moment, one could not tell if she was happy or angry. ¡°You can go back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Grandma.¡±

    Not long after Wei Yu left, Wei Zimu arrived at Old Madam Wei.

    ¡°Grandma.¡± Wei Zimu bowed to the Old Madam politely. The Old Madam looked at the child she admired the most with a gentle expression.

    ¡°Zimu, look for that child Xia Wanyuan and bring her here. I want to see her.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Grandma.¡± Wei Zimu bowed and left.

    Even though it was just his back view, it made people feel the clear breeze and moon in his heart.

    Old Madam Wei nodded slightly from behind. She had been holding on to her old bones until now and had finally seen a few useful talents among the younger generation of the Wei family.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was the third time in a day that she had received an unknown number. Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. She could not be bothered to argue with a childish person like Wei Yu, but she did not want to hear her nagging.

    However, not long after, a message appeared on her phone. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, it¡¯s me. If it¡¯s convenient for you, can you call me back?¡ªWei Zimu.¡±

    <i>Wei Zimu?</i>?Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of this person. Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t exin where this intuition came from, but there was an extremely firm warmth from Wei Zimu.

    After reading the message, Xia Wanyuan called Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, can I treat you to a meal? I have something to discuss with you.¡± Wei Zimu gently and directly revealed the reason for his call. Xia Wanyuan could not reject him.

    ¡°Sure. When and where?¡±

    After discussing the venue for the meal with Wei Zimu, Xia Wanyuan packed up briefly and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s heart that had been at ease rose again.

    ¡°Wei Zimu wants to talk to me about something. We¡¯re going out for a meal.¡± Xia Wanyuan carried her bag and prepared to go out. ¡°I won¡¯t be back for dinner tonight.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Jun Shiling recalled that Wei Zimu kept calling her sister Wanyuan. He did not want Xia Wanyuan to meet him, but he did not have the right to prevent Xia Wanyuan from going out to meet anyone. He could only suppress the jealousy in his heart.

    When Xia Wanyuan walked to the door, she suddenly turned around as if she had thought of something. She saw Jun Shiling looking at her with deep eyes. ¡°Come and pick me up after I eat?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Okay.¡±

    When they arrived at the agreed restaurant, Wei Zimu was already waiting there.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± Wei Zimu smiled gently.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not address him as Brother, and Wei Zimu did not look angry at all. He considerately pulled out a stool for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You said you needed me for something. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s about your mother.¡±

    In the original owner of the body¡¯s memory, her mother had died of illness. However, Xia Wanyuan could tell from Wei Zimu¡¯s words that there must have been another reason for the original owner¡¯s mother¡¯s death.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, I can only say that your mother¡¯s health has been pretty good since she was young. She doesn¡¯t have a foundation for heart disease, but her autopsy results show a heart attack.¡±

    ¡°So? Why are you telling me this?¡±

    ¡°Old Madam wants to see you. Wei Yu has already looked for you.¡± Wei Zimu handed the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan.

    From what he said, Xia Wanyuan understood his intentions. If Wei Zimu did not mention the original owner¡¯s mother, Xia Wanyuan would not be very interested in going to the Wei family. However, from what he said, Xia Wanyuan should make a trip even if it was to help the original owner¡¯s mother uncover the truth.

    ¡°Yes, I will.¡±

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Wei Zimu smiled at Xia Wanyuan with tolerance and encouragement. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan lower her head to look at the food on the table.

    They were all the tastes that the original owner of the body liked.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chopsticks paused for a moment, then she ate as usual. In the eyes of others, there was nothing strange.

    ¡°The weather is hot. I made this fan myself. I heard that you guys have worked hard filming. This is for you, so you can have some wind on set.¡±

    After dinner, Wei Zimu took out the fan from the box beside him. The fan that was shining with a dark purple glow was actually cold. Wei Zimu was really considerate.

    ¡°If I remember correctly, this is the second time we¡¯ve met. This gift is a little expensive.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.

    Unlike others, she did not feel any difort from Wei Zimu¡¯s solicitude. Everything about Wei Zimu seemed extremely sincere, and the care and tolerance in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

    This made her even more confused. Xia Wanyuan had never had any dealings with the Wei family before, let alone Wei Zimu.?<i>Why was Wei Zimu so good to me?</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s not expensive. I really treat you as a sister. ept my kind intentions.¡± Wei Zimu ced the fan in the box and handed it to Xia Wanyuan, who reached out to receive it.

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. Sister Wanyuan, you can look for me if you need anything. As long as I can help, I¡¯ll do anything to help, even if it costs my life.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan ept the fan, a sincere smile appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll get going.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and left the dining room under Wei Zimu¡¯s gaze.

    As soon as she turned around, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brows furrowed even more tightly. Wei Zimu had just used the phrase ¡®even if it costs my life¡¯. Wei Zimu was not a person who had never attended school and abused idioms.

    It was impossible for him not to understand the significance of those words.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she could not see through him. Wei Zimu was too good to her, and from the looks of it, this kind of good had no purpose.

    It seemed that there was a need to visit the Wei family.

    Xia Wanyuan put on her mask and sunsses and walked out of the restaurant. At the entrance, the Phantom, who had stopped here unknowingly, saw Xia Wanyuane out. He shed the car lights twice and Xia Wanyuan walked over.

    ¡°When did you get here?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat in. Jun Shiling was waiting inside.

    ¡°An hour ago.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was silent. ¡®<i>Isn¡¯t that when I first entered the restaurant?¡¯</i>

 Chapter 321 - I Love You

    <h4>Chapter 321: I Love You</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. In the past, Jun Shiling would always kick up a fuss because he called her Sister Wanyuan. Today, he was surprisingly quiet as he looked out of the window, which made Xia Wanyuan a little ufortable.

    ¡°He¡¯s looking for me because the Wei family¡¯s old madam wants to see me,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said as if she had thought of something.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°He told me that there might be another reason for my mother¡¯s death.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling still looked out of the window and did not turn around.

    ¡°Wei Zimu gave me a fan. It¡¯s pretty cool. I feel like he really treats me as his sister, the kind of person who is close to his family, although I don¡¯t know why he treats me so well.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s aura gradually softened under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile, not knowing how to continue the conversation. At that moment, Jun Shiling turned around and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze.

    ¡°Stupid, I¡¯ve never really been angry. I was just teasing you. I believe you.¡± Jun Shiling paused, as if he had used all his courage to speak.

    ¡°Even if you don¡¯t choose me in the end, I will believe you. I will always respect your choice.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. With a smile on her face, she took the initiative to reach out to Jun Shiling for the first time. ¡°Hug.¡±

    Jun Shiling had been mentally preparing himself outside the dining room for an entire hour before he finally built a tall mental defense. It copsed under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle ¡°hug¡±.

    Only then did Jun Shiling let go of his hand that had already formed a fingerprint and hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly.

    In a ce where Xia Wanyuan could not see, the love and possessiveness in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes surged out in all directions, making one feel shocked.

    Even though he had magnanimously convinced himself to be mentally prepared not to have her, the moment he hugged Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling could not imagine what would happen to him without Xia Wanyuan.

    The desire that could not be expressed in words, the strong possessiveness that was hidden extremely deeply, the passion that had been suppressed day after day, but had grown like wild grass, all softened under Xia Wanyuan¡¯sforting ¡°hug¡±. The love that came out of her heart swept through every corner of her body.

    ¡°I love you,¡± Jun Shiling whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Xia Wanyuan froze.

    This was the first time someone had said this to her in her two lifetimes. Although Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely soft, the heavy emotions that seemed to be real made her feel it herself.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart softened. In the past, whenever Jun Shiling hugged her, she would always stay in his arms passively.

    She raised her arm and put it down again. After three times, she finally mustered her courage and hugged Jun Shiling back.

    Sensing the gentle movement at his waist, Jun Shiling¡¯s body suddenly stiffened, and he hugged Xia Wanyuan even tighter.

    ¡°Can you give me a little more time?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice sounded.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and nted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. It was rare that Xia Wanyuan did not dodge this time, causing the mes in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes to burn even more.

    This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had taken the initiative to hug him. Jun Shiling was overjoyed. On the way back, he did not want Xia Wanyuan to let go.

    ¡°I¡¯m hot. Let go.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to retract her hand, but Jun Shiling held it tightly at her waist.

    ¡°No, how can you run after touching me?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling as he held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Jun Shiling!¡± Xia Wanyuan was angry and embarrassed. She could not help but call out to Jun Shiling loudly.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Jun Shiling replied leisurely. ¡°Madam, what can I do for you?¡±

    For the first time in her life, Xia Wanyuan felt regretful. She shouldn¡¯t have softened her heart and hugged Jun Shiling back just now.

    After struggling for a while, she could not escape. Xia Wanyuan directly usedbat skills with Jun Shiling. What surprised her was that Jun Shiling had easily neutralized her move.

    ¡°You know how to fight?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked curiously. Normally, Jun Shiling rarely fought, but from Jun Shiling¡¯s actions just now, he was definitely an expert.

    ¡°As the person in charge of the Jun Corporation, you have to have some self-defense skills. There¡¯s no need to be afraid of anything.¡± Jun Shiling patiently exined to Xia Wanyuan, but his hand was still gentle and could not break free from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯re really amazing.¡± Xia Wanyuan really admired Jun Shiling now.?<i>How could he do anything so outstanding?</i>

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions and Jun Shiling¡¯s move to suppress her, the two of them were now intertwined in a strange position.

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan wanted to use her leg to press down on Jun Shiling¡¯s knee, but Jun Shiling dodged her. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s right leg was kneeling between Jun Shiling¡¯s legs. The two hands were suppressing each other, and the distance between the two of them was practically close.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. Xia Wanyuan sensed the mes rising in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. Not only did she not dodge, but her right leg rubbed against Jun Shiling¡¯s leg. ¡°Are you letting go?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s body suddenly froze. The ce where Xia Wanyuan had touched seemed to be ignited, and the temperature on his body seemed to have instantly risen. mes surged in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but his hand seemed to be holding a hot piece of fire. He let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand almost instantly.

    Between the two of them, he was the one who did not dare to gamble. He was afraid that he could not control himself, but he did not want to hurt Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯re just taking advantage of the fact that I don¡¯t have any resistance to you. Go back to the room first.¡± Jun Shiling helplessly pulled a pillow over and ced it in front of him. Both of them knew what Jun Shiling was hiding.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was the culprit, her face flushed red. She hurriedly stepped out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Hmph, CEO Jun doesn¡¯t have much self-control, but you¡¯re ming me.¡±

    ¡°I still have very strong self-control, but when facing you, my self-control is zero.¡± Jun Shiling was very helpless. He looked at Xia Wanyuan as if he could do nothing to her.

    The doting look in his eyes made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart burn. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± With that, she left the car.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°You¡¯re saying that we can¡¯t find Xia Wanyuan¡¯s residence?¡± In the courtyard, Old Madam Wei drank tea and listened to the servants¡¯ report.

    ¡°Yes, Old Madam. Our people are always disrupted halfway. Furthermore, the radar in her car is useless. Someone should be protecting her from behind.¡± The person in charge of tracking felt that it was strange. The Wei family was not a small family. If they could intercept the Wei family¡¯s signal every time, how terrifying must their opponent be?

    ¡°Since you can¡¯t find out, there¡¯s no need to investigate. Let¡¯s retreat.¡± Old Madam Wei¡¯s expression was as usual, making it impossible to tell her emotions.

    ¡°Yes, Old Madam.¡± The servant left after reporting. Old Madam Wei looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s life information on the table. Her usually stern face revealed a few doubts.

 Chapter 322 - World Music Competition

    <h4>Chapter 322: World Music Competition</h4>

    At the Ancient Zither Association¡¯s hall.

    ¡°President, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s application for admission has beenpleted, but there¡¯s still a problem.¡±

    ¡°What problem?¡± Cai Qin was facing the ancient zither and practicing the song Xia Wanyuan had left behind during thepetition. The more he practiced, the more shocked he became.?<i>The younger generation nowadays was really surpassing the older generation. How could they y to such a high standard?</i>

    I had really wasted my decades. I had practiced for an entire month, but I still could not master the aura and vigor in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music.

    ¡°Miss Xia doesn¡¯t have an examination certificate.¡± An official organization like the Ancient Zither Association usually needed to recruit one person throughyers of selection.

    The passing mark for this association was that one had to reach level ten in the ancient zither level. However, after their verification, they realized that Xia Wanyuan had not even passed level one, let alone level ten.

    Everyone agreed with her standards, but such a hard indicator needed to be processed. Even if they wanted to jump for Xia Wanyuan, they had no choice.

    ¡°Did the level test in the first half of the year just end?¡± Cai Qin stopped practicing his zither and looked at the person beside him.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯ll be four months until the next exam. I reckon it¡¯ll be four months before Xia Wanyuan can join.¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t do. Our association will bepeting with the cherry blossom country next month. Xia Wanyuan will be a great help.¡±

    Speaking of which, it was quite shameful. As the origin of the ancient zither, China should have brought the art of the ancient zither to greater heights. However, in the ancient zitherpetition thatsted for five years, the cherry blossom country was the champion.

    The people from the Ancient Zither Association were all holding in their anger, but there was nothing they could do. It was not easy for them to see a promising seedling like Xia Wanyuan. Cai Qin wished he could stuff Xia Wanyuan into the association right now and go to thepetition with them next month to show those people what true ancient zither art was.

    ¡°Then what should we do, President? There¡¯s no way to break the procedure requirements.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t we have a special admission channel?¡± Cai suddenly thought of a solution.

    ¡°President, that is something that can only be imported with the International Competition Gold Award. Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have it either.¡±

    ¡°At the beginning of next month, isn¡¯t there a World Music Competition in Olly country? Let Xia Wanyuan participate in that. If she wins the gold award, won¡¯t the procedures bepleted immediately?¡± Cai Qin thought of doing it and hurriedly searched for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number to discuss this matter with her.

    The person reporting at the sideughed in his heart.

    <i>Although Xia Wanyuan did y well, the gold award for the World Music Competition? President, are you still asleep? This dream is too big.</i>

    Ignoring the fact that our country¡¯s zither was not popr internationally, the Western countries had always misunderstood and discriminated against China. Over the years, not to mention the gold award, even if the Chinese entered the top ten, the country would brag about them.

    <i>Gold award¡­ Did the president¡¯s brain get muddled from practicing the zither???</i>

    However, seeing that Cai Qin was chatting enthusiastically with Xia Wanyuan, he could only swallow his words.?<i>Forget it, I should prepare to ept Xia Wanyuan into the association in four months.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan did not know much about internationalpetitions, but she agreed to Cai Qin¡¯s enthusiastic invitation. Anyway, it was just ying the zither, so it was not difficult.

    ¡°Okay!!! Xiao Xia, I knew I didn¡¯t see wrongly!!! I¡¯ll sign you up now!!¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan agree immediately, Cai Qin¡¯s love for this young junior increased.

    Not to mention a junior like Xia Wanyuan, even the masters in the associations were dejected at the mention of the World Music Competition. They did not even dare to register for it, afraid that they would be mocked internationally.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reaction was so calm.?<i>What a good young woman!</i>?Even if she did not obtain a ranking in the end, Cai Qin felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s courage was very worth confirming.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan only wanted to ask, ¡®Where is Olly? What is the World Music Competition?¡¯

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The next morning, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to the Wei family¡¯s house. He nced at the elegant figure at the door and his eyes narrowed slightly. In the end, he only said, ¡°Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan got out of the car.

    Wei Zimu was waiting for her at the door.

    As he watched the Phantom gradually disappear into the distance, a hint of confusion arose in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. However, when Xia Wanyuan approached, this confusion turned into a smile.

    Good morning, Sister Wanyuan. Have you eaten?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve eaten. Does Old Madam only see me or anyone else today?¡±

    ¡°Other than you, there¡¯s another guest.¡± Wei Zimu apanied Xia Wanyuan into the door and walked through theyers of corridors towards the Old Madam¡¯s house.

    ¡°Hey, birds of the same feather really flock together.¡± A sharp female voice sounded in front.

    The way forward was suddenly blocked by a group of people, forcing Wei Zimu and Xia Wanyuan to stop.

    ¡°Wei Zimu, you¡¯re quite fast. You found the wild girl so quickly. As expected, wild people like to y with wild people.¡± A man in his twenties looked at Wei Zimu disdainfully, and his words caused the group of people around him tough.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. She had seen this man before at the family banquet. From the looks of it, the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Yang, was someone who indulged in indulgence and waszy. His status was clearly much higher than Wei Zimu¡¯s, but there was actually jealousy and hatred in his eyes as he looked at Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Grandma wants to see Sister Wanyuan. Make way.¡± Wei Zimu stood in front of Xia Wanyuan and shielded her behind him.

    ¡°Pfft, we¡¯re not nning to do anything to her. Who are you trying to show your look of saving the beauty like a hero?¡± Although Wei Yang hated Wei Zimu, he was not stupid enough to go against Wei Zimu in the courtyard. He was still very afraid of the Old Madam.

    ¡°Then please make way.¡± Wei Zimu had always been gentle in the Wei family, but today, Xia Wanyuan was brought here by him, and she was humiliated in front of him. No matter how good Wei Zimu¡¯s temper was, he could not help but speak more sternly.

    ¡°Oh, wow, even the good old Wei Zimu is angry. My leg hurts and I don¡¯t want to walk anymore. I want to rest here for a while. You guys can take a detour.¡± As Wei Yang spoke, he stretched out his leg and stopped in the middle of the corridor.

    The Wei family used the design of the Nine Zigzag Corridor. The outside of the corridor was filled withke water. Xia Wanyuan and the rest were about to arrive, but it would take a long time to turn back and change the route. Wei Yang was clearly making things difficult for them on purpose.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s gentle brows furrowed slightly. He could ignore how they usually bullied him, but treating Xia Wanyuan like this really made him angry. Wei Zimu was about to speak when Xia Wanyuan patted his shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan gave Wei Zimu a look, and he stood aside. Xia Wanyuan walked up from behind him.

    This was the first time Wei Yang had seen Xia Wanyuan up close. He was momentarily shocked by her appearance.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you think I will be like you and worry about the Old Madam?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice sounded.

 Chapter 323 - The Princess Fighting Again

    <h4>Chapter 323: The Princess Fighting Again</h4>

    ¡°What?¡± Wei Yang was still immersed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alluring appearance and did not react to what Xia Wanyuan meant.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the few people in the middle of the road.

    They felt that they did not dare to sh with them in the Wei family¡¯s courtyard, so they dared to block the way so arrogantly. Unfortunately, she did not care if this was the Wei family¡¯s territory.

    Xia Wanyuan took a step forward, and Wei Yang¡¯s sidekick immediately walked forward and blocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s path.

    ¡°Move.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll just stand here. Miss Xia, if you have the ability, walk past me.¡± Before theckey could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan pulled his arm and kicked him in the chest with her right foot, sending him into the water.

    Wei Yang was shocked and hurriedly stood up from the chair. Wei Yu leaned towards Wei Yang¡¯s ear. ¡°Brother, Xia Wanyuan was the one who attacked first this time. Why are we afraid of her? Grandma can¡¯t me us.¡±

    With this reminder, Wei Yang also reacted.?<i>That¡¯s right, Xia Wanyuan was the one who attacked first. If Grandma wanted to me someone, she couldn¡¯t me us.</i>?Wei Yu gave a look, and the remaining few people surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    In a hurry, Wei Zimu wanted to pull Xia Wanyuan. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would directly dodge the group of people¡¯s attacks? She passed through the gap in the crowd and stood on the railing at the side. The group of people came to catch her. Xia Wanyuan gently leaped and crossed over their heads.

    Then, she stepped hard on their backs. A few people fell straight into theke, causing a ssh.

    Wei Zimu was shocked as he watched from the side. He originally wanted to say ¡°Sister Wanyuan, be careful¡± but he swallowed it back.

    The corridor that was originally tightly blocked by people became much brighter.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, don¡¯t be too arrogant. If you bully the people of our Wei family like this, Grandma will teach you a lesson.¡± Wei Yu was shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ruthlessness when she fought. At that moment, she was hiding behind Wei Yang, but she refused to admit defeat.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored her and turned to look at Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Okay.¡± There was a hint of a smile in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes as he followed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, you actually know a little martial arts.¡± Wei Zimu had a smile on his face as he looked at Xia Wanyuan gently.

    ¡°To protect myself. Actually, I don¡¯t know much. The main reason is that the Wei family¡¯s guards are weaker.¡±

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan is too humble. The courtyard in front is where Grandma lives. Logically speaking, you should call her Grandma.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly. Wei Zimu didn¡¯t know what his sister was thinking either.

    In the small courtyard hidden by green bamboo, Old Madam Wei was ying chess with a gray-haired old man. Hearing footsteps, Old Madam Wei looked up at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    Old Madam Wei did not speak further and focused on the chessboard in front of her.

    Xia Wanyuan found a chair and sat down.

    The style of chess where one person yed often reflected the style of one person¡¯s actions. Xia Wanyuan only took a nce and knew that these two elders were people with extremely deep thoughts. The gray-haired old man looked kind, but there was actually a strong ruthlessness in the style of chess.

    The two of them yed one stone and one stone. Soon, the chessboard was entangled.

    ¡°Jiarong, let¡¯s see how you break my chess game this time.¡± The gray-haired old man looked at Old Madam Wei smugly.

    Old Madam Wei thought for a while and suddenly looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Girl, try it.¡±

 Chapter 324 - Ice-like Eyes

    <h4>Chapter 324: Ice-like Eyes</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had only taken a look at the beginning before understanding the style of their chess. She did not even need to look to guess how the next two people would y.

    In her previous life, she was proficient in all four arts. A chess saint had personally taught her chess skills.

    Before the Go Saint taught her chess skills, he told her, ¡°When you see the first three, you have to deduce thest three.¡±

    It meant that when a person¡¯s chess skills reached a certain level, they could deduce their entire line of thought from the first three stones their opponent had dropped, and then know where theirst three stones wouldnd.

    This was also the condition her master had set for her to finish her apprenticeship, and Xia Wanyuan had finished her apprenticeship very smoothly.

    Xia Wanyuan was not flustered at all by the Old Madam¡¯s sudden call. She stepped forward, picked up a white piece, and ced it in the middle of the chessboard.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this destroying your foundation?¡± Wei Zimu leaned forward. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, he broke out in a cold sweat for her. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s next move was even more unexpected. She directly struck the yellow dragon andnded the white piece in the circle surrounded by the ck stones.

    It seemed that their foundation had been greatly damaged and they could not retreat, but Old Madam Wei and the gray-haired old man¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°The youngdy is young, but it¡¯s rare for her to have the courage to take drastic measures. She fought to survive on the verge of death. This game of dead chess has been revived by you.¡±

    There was a rare look of approval on Old Madam Wei¡¯s wrinkled face.

    ¡°Jiarong, why haven¡¯t I seen this little girl before? Is she a junior from the Wei family?¡±

    ¡°This is Ah Shu¡¯s child. Her name is Xia Wanyuan.¡± Old Madam Wei slowly introduced. ¡°Lass, call Uncle Ji.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not rted to this person, so she could not call him uncle, so she smiled at the old man beside her.

    Old Madam Wei¡¯s eyes turned cold. She nced at Xia Wanyuan but did not speak.

    ¡°Uncle Ji, Grandma, Sister Wanyuan has just arrived and isn¡¯t familiar with the environment. Let me take her out for a walk first.¡± Wei Zimu stood up.

    ¡°Bring her to the exhibition room.¡± The Old Madam waved her hand, and Wei Zimu left with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, the exhibition room is disying all the industrial models of our Wei family. It looks like Grandma thinks highly of you.¡± Wei Zimu pushed open the door and led Xia Wanyuan into the exhibition room.

    Xia Wanyuan hade to understand the Wei family. Now that there was such detailed information in front of her, Xia Wanyuan looked at it seriously.

    Wei Zimu apanied her quietly. Whenever Xia Wanyuan encountered something she did not understand, he would exin.

    ¡°Watch me first. I¡¯ll get you a ss of water.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± The more Xia Wanyuan looked at it, the more she felt that the Wei family was powerful. No wonder they were arge family that couldst for hundreds of years. Their foundation was very deep.

    Xia Wanyuan had learned a lot from the Wei family¡¯s detailed exhibition hall. She had a few good ideas about the Moon Bay project, and her eyes were filled with smiles.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, have some water.¡± Wei Zimu walked over with a ss of water.

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head. The sunlight outside the window shone on her. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, which were as clear as ice, seemed to be filled with broken sunlight, shining.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. It was so fast that even Xia Wanyuan did not notice it.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the water and habitually put it aside.

    <h4>Chapter 325: Can¡¯t Help but Miss You</h4>

    In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Xia Wanyuan read quickly and basically read all the information in the exhibition room.

    After leaving the exhibition room, Wei Zimu brought Xia Wanyuan to the Old Madam. The Old Madam asked a few questions that were rted to the Wei family¡¯s business.

    Wei Zimu considered that Xia Wanyuan did not know anything about the Wei family¡¯s business and wanted to help her resolve the situation. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would actually answer so readily? Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    ¡°Are you staying for dinner?¡± Old Madam Wei did notment on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reply.

    Xia Wanyuan had no idea what status the Wei family had in China.

    If it was anyone else, they would be able to brag about eating a meal in the Wei family for a long time.

    Thinking of the many terrible rules of the Wei family, Xia Wanyuan felt that the food was probably not delicious, even though the food of the Wei family was indeed not bad.

    ¡°No need. I still have something on, so I won¡¯t stay for dinner.¡± Xia Wanyuan declined.

    ¡°Alright, you may go then.¡± The old madam was not angry. She gestured for Wei Zimu to send Xia Wanyuan out.

    Wei Zimu apanied Xia Wanyuan to the door when the servant beside the Old Madam suddenly came out with arge box.

    ¡°Miss Xia, Old Madam said that you like to eat the dishes in the courtyard. They were specially made for you. Bring them back and eat them.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the lunch box and waved at Wei Zimu. ¡°Bye.¡±

    ¡°Bye, Sister Wanyuan. You can look for me if you need anything.¡± Wei Zimu smiled gently.

    The courtyard and manor were located at the two extremes of Beijing. They were very far away, but they were very close to Jun Shiling¡¯spany.

    After some thought, Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to drive to the Jun Corporation.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was already past noon, and the meeting room was filled with gloom. Since they could note up with a n that would satisfy Jun Shiling, a fewpany leaders epted Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions one by one.

    <i>Oh god, please save us.</i>

    Tears streamed down everyone¡¯s faces.?<i>Who said that CEO Jun had be gentle?! He was clearly still the King of Hell!!</i>

    As if someone had heard everyone¡¯s thoughts, Lin Jing pushed the door open and entered. He said a few words beside Jun Shiling, and his expression softened visibly.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk in the afternoon. Meeting dismissed.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling strode out of the meeting room.

    Everyone:?<i>Boohoo, Special Assistant Lin, you¡¯re really my savior!! You¡¯ve given me a new life.</i>

    Lin Jing said,?<i>I¡¯m sorry, you¡¯ve found the wrong savior.</i>

    Jun Shiling pushed open the door. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa, setting up the food and waiting for him to eat.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jun Shiling took off his coat, loosened his tie, and slowly sat beside Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Old Madam Wei packed a lot of food for me, so I brought it here. The food from the Wei family is really not bad,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and reached for her chopsticks, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up in surprise. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were bright.

    ¡°Kiss me, okay?¡± Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°¡­Jun Shiling, can you not move?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless.

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t help it. I missed you during the meeting. The thought of seeing you again after work made me miss you even more. But you came over at noon.¡± Jun Shiling paused, and a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m very happy.¡±

    The joy and smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were too obvious, causing ripples in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    Jun Shiling rubbed the back of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Okay? Hm?¡±

    As if scalded by the warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand, but Jun Shiling clenched it very tightly.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan could not stand Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze that was about to melt her. She made up her mind. Since she had kissed him before, she closed her eyes.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He pulled her into his arms and covered the red face that he had thought about a thousand times.

    Jun Shiling was like a king who was patrolling his territory, carefully and enthusiastically putting his aura on every corner.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that her entire body was soft. Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was too strong, unlike his usual gentleness. It was as if he wanted to imprint her from the inside out.

    After a while¡­

    Xia Wanyuan was almost out of breath when Jun Shiling finally let go of her. However, he did not leavepletely. Instead, he nted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead and said as if he was sighing, ¡°Why are you so lovable?¡±

    ]Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms to catch her breath, then pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away. ¡°Can you let me eat properly now?¡±

    ¡°Eat, I¡¯ll peel the prawns for you.¡± Jun Shiling looked satiated, making Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heat up.

    While Xia Wanyuan ate, Jun Shiling did not eat much. He kept putting food in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. He had been taking care of her and had not eaten much.

    ¡°I¡¯m already full.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully. ¡°But if you want to feed me another meal, I don¡¯t mind.¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan saw Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, she knew what he was referring to. ¡°I won¡¯te and eat lunch with you again.¡±

    ¡°I was wrong.¡± Jun Shiling quickly admitted his mistake and ced a few white prawns in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the prawn meat in the bowl and red at Jun Shiling coquettishly. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was itching from this look, but considering that Xia Wanyuan would be angry with him, Jun Shiling could only peel the prawns for her obediently.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The two films ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± and ¡°Moon As Frost¡± originally did not have much interaction.

    After all, he was a big production director. From the beginning of the filming, his works had been praised by investors all the way to the altar.

    Although ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had obtained some support with the addition of Yan Ci, due to the controversial country theme and the unknown director and screenwriter, no one thought highly of it.

    As the Weibo ount of the production team of ¡°The Moon Pce¡± had once followed Xia Wanyuan when they were about to announce the second female lead, so when the production team of ¡°The Moon Pce¡± participated in media interviews, a reporter asked if the production team had ever considered letting Xia Wanyuan y the second female lead role.

    The director hesitated. This question was a little difficult. He could not say that Xia Wanyuan had rejected his invitation. After some deliberation, the director said,

    ¡°It¡¯s like this. We did consider it at first, but we thought about many actresses at the same time. In the end, after we considered all their acting skills, we felt that she wasn¡¯t very suitable for this role.¡±

    At this point, the director did not continue. However, the public had already interpreted the director¡¯s meaning: Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills did not suit the role, so she was eliminated by the production team of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

 Chapter 326 - The Princess Was Ridiculed by the Crowd

    <h4>Chapter 326: The Princess Was Ridiculed by the Crowd</h4>

    [ Back then, someone even said that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t take a fancy to the script for ¡°The Moon Pce¡±. Is this a p in the face? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are not bad, right? I watched ¡®The Long Bad¡¯. Anyway, I think it¡¯s quite good. It¡¯s not as bad as what the Inte says. ]

    [ Passers-by pass by. I think Xia Wanyuan is much better looking than Bai Lian. ]

    [ Haha, what¡¯s the use of looking good? She hasn¡¯t been selected by ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ yet. Our Bai Lian is more popr than some people. ]

    [ Pfft, some people don¡¯t have acting skills or ability, so they can only brag about their looks. Isn¡¯t it pathetic? They went up to act in ¡®The Moon Pce¡¯ but didn¡¯t seed. Now, they¡¯re trying to touch your Sister Bai¡¯s porcin?? Why don¡¯t you look at the difference in celebrity status? Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t even fit to carry Bai Lian¡¯s shoes. ]

    Actually, not many people had paid attention to this interview, but Bai Lian¡¯s fans had always been famous for beingpetitive.

    After seeing Bai Lian and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearances, many real passers-by felt that Xia Wanyuan looked much better. After posting somements, Bai Lian¡¯s fans were unhappy and felt that Xia Wanyuan was trying to frame Bai Lian.

    Hence, the director¡¯s interview was treated as a divine tool to p faces. They publicized that ¡°Xia Wanyuan has been personally confirmed by the director that her acting skills are bad¡±.

    Passers-by who didn¡¯t pay attention to these things gradually began to talk about Xia Wanyuan not choosing ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    Public opinion had always been easy to change. The director of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± was a top-notch director in the country. He had already said that Xia Wanyuan was incapable, so everyone had an additional bad impression of her.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had said that she wanted to invest, it was impossible for Xia Wanyuan to support the sess of a drama alone.

    Because of Yan Ci¡¯s participation, many investors were eager to cooperate with Li Heng. They had already discussed the final stages when they suddenly heard the director of ¡°The Moon Pce¡±.

    Everyone was a little hesitant. After all, the Moon Pce was also recruiting investors. No one wanted to lose money. If Xia Wanyuan reallycked ability as that director had said, wouldn¡¯t their investment money go down the drain?

    A group of people began to retreat. As long as there was a first group, the second group quickly retreated. The filming that had already gone on the right track was put on hold.

    Some marketing ounts on the Inte directly posted the title ¡°Xia Wanyuan frightened away twenty investors¡± in order to attract attention. They fully analyzed the reason why Xia Wanyuan was not chosen by the production team of ¡°The Moon Pce¡±, and then listed various data topare Xia Wanyuan with Bai Lian.

    In the end, they concluded that investing in ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± would earn more than investing in ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Investing in ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was very likely to lose everything.

    The production team of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± received many investments all of a sudden, while ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was miserable.

    When Xia Wanyuan heard about this matter, she originally wanted to invest more, but Shen Qian sent news that because thepany¡¯s project was in the beginning stages, there was no way to take out extra money to invest in the production team, so Xia Wanyuan could only give up.

    There were a lot of people watching the fun. Li Heng and Yang Jiu had a headache because of the investment.

    Just as Bai Lian¡¯s fans were overjoyed that Xia Wanyuan had been mocked by the crowd, a Weibo ount that had been forgotten and covered in dust suddenly posted.

 Chapter 327 - Master Juns Other Identity

    <h4>Chapter 327: Master Jun¡¯s Other Identity</h4>

    Speaking of the coldest ount on Weibo, if the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo ount was second, no one would dare to im first.

    The official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation was like Jun Shiling, the person in charge, low-key and mysterious.

    After all, the Jun Corporation did not need any publicity. Its existence was a living signboard.

    The Jun Corporation had only posted one Weibo post so far, and it only had three words. ¡°Hello, everyone.¡±

    Back then, Jun Shiling had personally registered this ount and had handed it over to Lin Jing to manage. However, the public announcements of the Jun Corporation were basically on the official website, and there was no need for any publicity on Weibo. This ount had stayed in the post from four years ago.

    However, even though it had pretended to be dead for ten years, it had nearly a hundred million fans because it was the Jun Corporation.

    And this huge monster had woken up today.

    It reposted a Weibo post from Star Creation Entertainment that announced that they would inject 300 million dors into the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    [ Big boss, you¡¯re awake. ]

    [ What¡¯s going on? Has the Jun Corporation¡¯s ount been hacked? ]

    [ The person in front, ask around and see who recruited the world¡¯s most powerful hacker alliance. Whoever can hack into the Jun Corporation¡¯s ount is really a god. ]

    [ Don¡¯t you know that Star Creation Entertainment was bought over by the Jun Corporation not long ago? How could Star Creation Entertainment be so rich in the past? The Jun Corporation probably invested this 300 million behind their backs. ]

    [ Actually, I¡¯ve always felt that ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ would fail so badly that my parents wouldn¡¯t recognize it. Even with the addition of Yan Ci, I feel the same way. However, with the Jun Corporation joining, I suddenly feel that we might be blind. ]

    [ I have the same feeling now. To be able to gain the favor of the Jun Corporation, he probably has merits that we haven¡¯t seen yet. Our Brother Yan Ci¡¯s taste is really too good. Every time he chooses a script, he¡¯s especially unique. I¡¯m looking forward to ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯. ]

    The news that the Jun Corporation had invested 300 million dors into the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± exploded in the investment world. The Jun Corporation was the global trend.

    Let alone drinking meat soup with him, even eating the scraps was enough for everyone to make a killing.

    Hence, those investors who had already withdrawn were now squeezing back with all their might.

    However, there was no medicine for regret in the world. The Jun Corporation¡¯s investment was already enough for the production team. Now, countless people wanted to take a share of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, but they did not have the chance to insert the spoon in.

    When Li Heng received the news, he bowed to the Goddess of Mercy statue that his mother had been praying to every day at home. He really felt like he was in a dream. First, Xia Wanyuan epted the script, and then Yan Ci actually acted as the male lead.

    Now that even the legendary Jun Corporation hade to invest in him, Li Heng felt that he was floating.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After agreeing to Cai Qin¡¯s request to attend the World Music Competition, Xia Wanyuan had also done some research.

    The World Music Competition was not restricted to whichever race, country, or musical instrument. Anyone could participate in the Inte preliminaries. After the preliminaries, they would go through the semi-finals andpete for the final gold award in Olly.

    Xia Wanyuan took the zither and practiced in the living room.

    Other than school homework, Xiao Bao also had additional homework that Jun Shiling had assigned at night. Xiao Bao was usually mischievous, but he had alwayspleted Jun Shiling¡¯s words and tasks seriously.

    Jun Shiling returned home after work and saw Xiao Bao sitting on the short stool that had been specially made for him. Xia Wanyuan was ying the zither by the window. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart softened. Thinking of the news he had just received, a look of reluctance shed across his eyes.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling return, Xiao Bao looked up and called out obediently. Jun Shiling stroked his soft hair.

    Xia Wanyuan did not stop ying. Jun Shiling sat at the side and listened intently. The living room was filled with warmth.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished ying the song, she nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and felt that something was wrong, so she got Uncle Wang to apany Xiao Bao to do his homework while she brought Jun Shiling upstairs to the study.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Xia Wanyuan ced the zither in the box and asked.

    ¡°I have something on tomorrow and have to go abroad. I might not be back in two or three days.¡± There was strong reluctance on Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    ¡°Mm, alright.¡± A hint of disappointment shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart. She was used to having Jun Shiling by her side. Xia Wanyuan was a little unustomed to him suddenly saying that he wanted to leave.

    Jun Shiling caught the disappointment in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes at the right time. His originally deep eyes lit up, and Jun Shiling reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    Xia Wanyuan moved, and Jun Shiling pressed her down. ¡°I¡¯m about to leave. Let me hug you for a while.¡± Then, Xia Wanyuan quietened down.

    Jun Shiling smiled and ced his head by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, pressing his face against her hair.

    ¡°I can¡¯t bear to part with you,¡± Jun Shiling said softly with deep attachment.

    ¡°Thene back early.¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan spoke, Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on her tightened. ¡°Will you miss me?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll only be gone for two to three days. What do you mean by whether I¡¯ll miss you? Can¡¯t we still call?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was flushed red from the heat Jun Shiling blew on her ear.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t two to three days long?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone actually carried a hint of grievance. ¡°Even if you¡¯re in my arms, I miss you very much. Do you believe me?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan away slightly, then showed the affection and longing in his eyes to her without hiding it.

    The longing and love in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were so thick that it was about to be tangible. Even someone with a thousand degrees of short-sightedness could tell that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart trembled from this gaze.

    ¡°I¡¯ll miss you.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan again.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan replied with an ¡°Mm¡± and didn¡¯t say anything else.

    However, the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes widened.

    Because of the slender hands around her waist.

    At 3: 00 in the morning, Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were sleeping soundly. Jun Shiling had already quietly gotten up and looked at his wife and son on the bed for a while. Jun Shiling nted a gentle kiss on both their faces, then left the bedroom and gently closed the door.

    Outside the manor, Bo Xiao was waiting for Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Have you sent them any news?¡± Jun Shiling got into the car, and the chauffeur immediately stepped on the elerator and sped towards the airport.

    ¡°Yes, they¡¯re already prepared.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied, and the car fell into silence.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Thirteen hourster, the private nended on a parking space by the mountains of Continent F.

    Countless armed personnel lined up and waited respectfully for the door to open.

    The door opened. Other than the few high-ranking officials, everyone else lowered their heads.

    ¡°Zeus.¡± A few high-level staff stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

 Chapter 328 - The Princess Finally Thought it Through

    <h4>Chapter 328: The Princess Finally Thought it Through</h4>

    Jun Shiling waved his hand and restrained his coldness. He sat on a military helicopter that had been waiting for him and gradually disappeared into the mountains.

    Xia Wanyuan woke up in the morning and pushed open the door to take a look.

    ¡°Madam, Young Master leftst night.¡± Uncle Wang stepped forward and exined.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    During breakfast, although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression remained the same, Uncle Wang noticed that her appetite had shrunk by half. The food in front of her was barely touched.

    After eating, Xiao Bao was sent to school, and Xia Wanyuan went to the production team to officially hold the opening ceremony.

    With the injection of funds from the Jun Corporation, Li Heng¡¯s actions were very fast. All the actors were already in position, and the props and scenes were progressing methodically.

    After the opening ceremony, Li Heng gathered everyone together to get to know each other. Since the setting of the studio had not beenpleted, the director gave everyone five days off to study the script.

    Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that she would have to enter the production team to film after the opening ceremony. Who would have thought that she would have five more days of leave for no reason and would have a lot of time?

    Xia Wanyuan was thinking about how to arrange the next five days when she received a call from Shen Qian.

    Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to send her to thepany.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and took the document from Shen Qian.

    ¡°Our construction team dug arge limestone cave during the construction project. ording to the research of the higher-ups, it is very rare and precious, so we need to protect the Falling Phoenix Mountain where the limestone cave is. However, the main part of our project is on the Falling Phoenix Mountain. With this protection, our project will be especially affected.¡±

    Shen Qian also sent people to negotiate a few times, but the local department¡¯s attitude was very unyielding. They refused to give in, so Shen Qian could only give up.

    Looking at the Moon Mountain project in her hand, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯ll go and take a look myself.¡±

    Anyway, she still had five days before she entered the production team. She had originally nned to go to the Moon Mountain project after Old Master¡¯s birthday, so it was not a bad idea to go early.

    ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Shen Qian nodded happily. If Xia Wanyuan went personally, this matter would definitely be resolved very well.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor and called the Old Master to put Xiao Bao in foster care. The Old Master readily agreed.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan could not help but look at her call logs.

    It was nk.

    It was already the next evening. It had been almost twenty hours since Jun Shiling left, but Jun Shiling had not called or sent her a single text.

    <i>Why did he say that he missed me? Hmph.</i>

    A hint of disappointment shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    At that moment, in the depths of Continent F, Jun Shiling was sitting in themand center, looking at the infrared signals on the screen. Every point on the screen represented traces of the underground kingdom¡¯s activities.

    Jun Shiling watched quietly for a while before suddenly pointing at a small dot in the upper right corner. ¡°Focus on this city. Have you discussed with the military?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve already informed them. The military will do their best to make peace.¡±

    ¡°Mm, continue to search for the location of theboratory for Poison Scorpion,¡± Jun Shiling said as he stood up and walked to the ss corridor outside.

    Looking out of the ss corridor, there was a deep cliff that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was no conventional signal in themand room built two thousand meters underground. Jun Shiling took out his phone and looked at the table.

    This was a photo of Xia Wanyuan in her life. She was wearing an apricot white shoulder knitted shirt, and she was curled up on the sofa, looking warm and gentle. When Jun Shiling looked at this photo, his expression softened.

    Bo Xiao, who was wearing a whiteb coat and gloves, walked over. ¡°From your expression, I think you miss sister-inw.¡±

    Jun Shiling put away his phone and nced at Bo Xiao coldly. ¡°Is the results out?¡±

    ¡°If I do it, will there be anything that can¡¯te out?¡± Bo Xiao waved the small bag in his hand in front of Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯ve found it. My initial guess is that this Old K might have gone to China personally.¡±

    ¡°Besides,¡± Bo Xiao couldn¡¯t believe the conclusion he had found. ¡°After analyzing the sequence of that strand of hair, Old K is likely dead. The new sessor, KING, is actually a young man no older than 25 years old.¡±

    Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s words, Jun Shiling fell into deep thought. There was a ck hole outside the ss, roaring as it tried to swallow the only light in the depths of the earth.

    However, Jun Shiling stood there quietly with a calming force. It was as if no matter how the darkness roared, it could not shake the light behind Jun Shiling at all.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but she still couldn¡¯t fall asleep. She subconsciously nced at her phone, but there was still no news.

    Xia Wanyuan buried herself in the nket. Out of sight, out of mind.

    Ding Ling

    Her phone suddenly rang. Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the phone. The words¡¯ Jun Shiling ¡®shed on it.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Hello?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice came from the phone. Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt as if she had not heard Jun Shiling speak for a long time.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

    ¡°I missed you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice, filled with strong longing, smashed into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Did you miss me?¡± Because of the signal restriction and the privacy restrictions, it was already extremely difficult for Jun Shiling to call Xia Wanyuan, let alone make a video call. Although he could not see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, Jun Shiling could imagine how Xia Wanyuan had blushed from his words.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

    ¡°Although¡­¡± Jun Shiling did not expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer to be this. He originally wanted to say ¡°although you don¡¯t miss me, I miss you¡± but he swallowed it back.

    Jun Shiling lowered his voice as if he was afraid of scaring Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Say it again. I didn¡¯t hear you clearly. Did you miss me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was already a little shy. Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle voice as he coaxed a child, her face, which was buried under the nket, turned even redder. Only then did she realize what she had just said.

    ¡°Be good. Can you say it again? Did you miss me?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone became even gentler, so gentle that water was about to drip from it.

    ¡°Mm, I missed you.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan was embarrassed, she did not want to lie. There had been no news of Jun Shiling for more than twenty hours, so she naturally missed him.

    The breathing on the other end of the line suddenly increased, and both sides fell silent. It was so quiet that only the sound of electricity could be heard.

    ¡°You¡¯re really my ancestor.¡± After a while, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was hoarse, as if he had to exert a lot of strength to control his emotions.

 Chapter 329 - Baby Pampered

    <h4>Chapter 329: Baby Pampered</h4>

    This woman was sent by the heavens to torture him.

    For twenty hours, God knew how much self-control he had to suppress the urge to go back and see her.

    However, her soft ¡°I missed you.¡± She made him lose his armor. If not for the mission on him, he would have taken the ne back to her.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed after saying that she missed you. She bit her lip until it formed a mark.

    Although there was no video, after being together for so long, Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s every move like the back of his hand. ¡°Be good. Don¡¯t bite your lips.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan blushed from his words, but she still listened to Jun Shiling and let go of her lips.

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a story. Sleep well.¡± Jun Shiling was very busy. It had been a long time since he hade here, and there were many things waiting for him to settle.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to listen to stories, I want to listen to songs.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was too gentle. Even though Xia Wanyuan had never been an unreasonable woman, in front of such overwhelming tolerance, she could not help but be delicate.

    ¡°Ha.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯sughter came from the phone. ¡°Baby, are you asking to be pampered?¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s your baby?¡± Having lived for two lifetimes, Xia Wanyuan had never been called ¡®baby¡¯ by anyone. Furthermore, in such a tone that was enough to melt someone, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s entire face flushed red.

    However, the joy and sweetness in her heart could not help but slip out.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll allow you to be pampered.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and said dotingly, ¡°I¡¯ll always allow it.¡±

    Jun Shiling began to hum the songs from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s album. Xia Wanyuan had never heard Jun Shiling sing before, but it could not be denied that Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely pleasant to begin with. On the phone, it appeared even more maic.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect CEO Jun to sing so well,¡± Xia Wanyuan praised. ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard you sing before?¡±

    ¡°If you like it in the future, I¡¯ll sing it for you every day.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice sounded.

    ¡°Why do you have so many sweet words?¡±

    ¡°You can feel the sincerity.¡± After Jun Shiling finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan fell silent. She could indeed feel Jun Shiling¡¯s heartfelt love and care. It was so heavy that Xia Wanyuan could not bear it.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to bed. I¡¯m not talking to you anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan chose to sleep. She felt that she was not Jun Shiling¡¯s match.

    ¡°Okay, good night.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone.

    Standing in front of the ss window and looking at theboratory group, the passion in his eyes was still there. However, at that moment, there was still a terrifying darkness surging in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    He had always been used to being cold and aloof, and he had never disyed any possessiveness towards anyone. However, Xia Wanyuan was bing more and more dependent on him, and she was getting closer and closer to him.

    The possessiveness that came roaring like a storm made him almost lose control.

    Although Xia Wanyuan, who had been tossing and turning in bed, had fallen asleep with her face flushed after receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s call, it was undeniable that

    It was a good night¡¯s sleep.

    Xiao Bao had already been sent to the old master. Xia Wanyuan packed her things and rushed to the airport. Now that she had more and more business activities, Tang Yin and Chen Yun were even busier.

    Since there were only a few days left, Xia Wanyuan went to the Moon Mountain project alone.

    However, when they got on the ne, a familiar person came up from the neighboring seat.

 Chapter 330 - Somethings Going to Happen to the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 330: Something¡¯s Going to Happen to the Princess</h4>

    At thest moment before the ne closed, a tall figure sat beside Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss Xia, long time no see.¡± The familiar amorous eyes curved up. Xuan Sheng smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm, where are you going?¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to Moon Mountain. It¡¯s a project I invested in after all. Shouldn¡¯t I go and take a look after such a big thing has happened? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to Moon Mountain too, Ms. Xia?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll go too.¡±

    ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled again.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and didn¡¯t speak further.

    However, an hour ago, in Glory World Corporation¡¯s office,

    ¡°Young Master, we just learned that Miss Xia is preparing to go for an inspection at the Moon Bay project.¡±

    Xuan Sheng, who was typing on theputer, suddenly stopped. ¡°When?¡±

    ¡°In an hour.¡±

    Xuan Sheng stood up immediately and his assistant hurried after him. ¡°Young Master, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°The airport.¡±

    After deducting 12 points from his assistant, Xuan Sheng finally entered the airport and boarded the ne at thest moment.

    Xuan Sheng tilted his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite side profile. He felt that the 12 marks his assistant had deducted were worth it. He would go back and increase his sry.

    The flight took a long time and it was lunchtime. The air stewardess brought lunch to the passengers.

    Xuan Sheng could not even eat the food made by the star chef at home, let alone this pile of food in the lunch box. Xuan Sheng was about to say no when Xia Wanyuan reached out and took a box. Xuan Sheng paused for a moment and took a box from the stewardess.

    Xia Wanyuan was someone who had an extremely low tolerance for food and a high limit.

    When there was nothing to eat, the coarse rice and steamed buns could be dealt with. When there was something to eat, she liked the Manchu Han Imperial Feast too.

    On the ne, it was a time where there was nothing to eat. Xia Wanyuan nimbly opened the packaging and looked like a ball of blurry curry potato. It tasted pretty good.

    Xia anyuan ate spoon by spoon, while Xuan Sheng watched her eat.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Sensing that Xuan Sheng had been looking at her, Xia Wanyuan turned around and asked.

    ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s good-looking eyebrows were furrowed.?<i>That ck thing looked a little strange.</i>

    It¡¯s okay. You can¡¯t not eat, right? It¡¯s not healthy for your body.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she recalled how Xuan Sheng did not like to eatst time. ¡°You should eat more.¡±

    ¡°I ate a lot too, okay? More than you.¡± Feeling that Xia Wanyuan had underestimated him, Xuan Sheng was somewhat unconvinced. He opened the lunch box.

    Perhaps because Xia Wanyuan was by his side, his manic emotions had calmed down a lot. This time, when he ate the food that he thought was extremely disgusting, he did not feel the disgust that surged up.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished a box of rice, Xuan Sheng also finished a box. As if to show that he had eaten more than Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng specially ate an extra apple.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed Xuan Sheng¡¯s thoughts and was a little amused. There was a hint of a smile in her eyes. Xuan Sheng was stunned.

    ¡°Miss Xia, seriously, if you can¡¯t be a canary anymore, I¡¯ll chase after celebrities and raise you.¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan, you really know how to joke.¡± Xuan Sheng had always been unpredictable, so Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t take his words seriously.

    Xuan Sheng smiled. When he lowered his eyes, his eyes were filled with seriousness.

    In the evening, the ne finallynded at the airport beside Moon Bay.

    Moon Bay was a tourist attraction that was in the midst of development. It was located in the south and had beautiful mountains and rivers. The natural scenery was extremely good. As it was still developing, there was only a rtively good hotel not far from it. Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan lived there.

    Xuan Sheng threw his luggage to his assistant and helped Xia Wanyuan carry her luggage.

    On the same floor with different room numbers, Xia Wanyuan returned to her room after registering.

    When the person in charge of Moon Bay heard that Xuan Sheng hade, he immediately found two beautiful women and sent them to Xuan Sheng¡¯s room.

    In ces with beautiful mountains and clear waters, the most beautiful women could be raised. Even Xuan Sheng, who had seen countless beauties, could not help but praise them in his heart.

    The two beauties standing in the room naturally had excellent figures. There was the gentleness and charm of a Jiangnan woman in her eyes. If it was in the past, he would definitely ept them happily.

    However, Xuan Sheng did not know what was wrong with him. He felt that it was very boring. When he saw the woman in front of him who was like water, he felt even more irritated. He waved his hand. ¡°Go out.¡±

    After the two of them left, Xuan Sheng turned on the music. The soothing voice echoed in the room. He felt that his agitation had been calmed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling was extremely busy. The underground kingdom¡¯s power developed faster than anyone had imagined, and Jun Shiling¡¯s arrival seemed to have given everyone a boost. Basically, everyone here had to show Jun Shiling all the important decisions.

    After signing thest document on the table, Jun Shiling raised his hand to look at his watch, his eyes cold.

    It was eleven o¡¯clock in China. ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s habits, she should have fallen asleep long ago.

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment with the phone in his hand. With a hint of hope in his heart, he called.

    ¡°Hello.¡± The call was picked up very quickly. There was no sleepiness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice.

    ¡°You¡¯re not asleep yet?¡±

    ¡°I missed the time after reading some documents.¡± Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips.

    ¡°Really?¡± Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°Didn¡¯t you wait for me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment. ¡°No.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not probe further. ¡°I was very busy today, so I forgot the time. Sorry.¡±

    ¡°Mm, is it tough?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked casually.

    ¡°It¡¯s so tough.¡± There was an obvious grievance in Jun Shiling¡¯s tone. Then, he changed the topic. ¡°When I go back, you can let me kiss you a few more times, then I won¡¯t feel the pain anymore.¡±

    ¡°It looks like you didn¡¯t work hard either. How can you be so glib?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice sounded, but Jun Shiling was not angry.

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was cold, but her face must be burning.

    ¡°Be good, I¡¯ll apany you to sleep. I have a meetingter.¡± Jun Shiling wanted to talk to Xia Wanyuan for a while, but there were hundreds of people waiting for him to attend the meeting. He could only try his best to apany Xia Wanyuan and attend the meeting after she fell asleep.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice softened. Jun Shiling gently sang the second song in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s album as she gradually fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling hung up the phone and casually drank a bottle of nutrient solution. He had no time to call at all, so he could only call Xia Wanyuan while he was eating. After the call, it was time for the meeting. Jun Shiling put away his phone and walked into the meeting room.

    In the huge staircase hall, there were rows of politicians and generals who often appeared on television. At that moment, they looked at Jun Shiling with reverence and respect.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had a good sleep. Just as she finished breakfast, the person in charge of Moon Bay ran over anxiously. ¡°Oh no, something happened.¡±

 Chapter 331 - Danger Approaches

    <h4>Chapter 331: Danger Approaches</h4>

    ¡°Andslide ident?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Miss Xia. Now that someone¡¯s family is causing trouble at the scene of the ident, we can¡¯t persuade them at all. The project has stopped, what should we do? Should I call CEO Shen?¡±

    The in-charge nced at the ¡°Miss Xia¡± that CEO Shen had talked about, who had covered her face with a mask, but could not hide her beauty. He was extremely anxious.

    At first, Shen Qian said that there was a Miss Xia who came for an inspection. Seeing her appearance, he thought that she was Shen Qian¡¯s lover. In the end, seeing that Xuan Sheng took care of her in every way, the in-charge thought that she was the daughter of an investor who hade to experience life.

    However, with such a huge engineering ident, how could he still have the mood to y with Xia Wanyuan? He immediately called Shen Qian.

    ¡°No need. Bring me there.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, this ident is not a small matter. I think we should report it to CEO Shen first. What if something goes wrong?¡± The in-charge did not believe Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Then go ahead.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked out the door.

    As expected, not long after, the in-charge followed. ¡°Miss Xia, CEO Shen asked me to listen to your orders.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Lead the way.¡±

    Although the in-charge was unwilling, since Shen Qian had said so, he could only bring Xia Wanyuan to the scene of the ident with a belly full of doubts.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xuan Sheng stood at the side. The people below weremunicating with the family.

    ¡°Come and take a look. What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°The person suffered a fracture from a rock slide. His injury isn¡¯t serious, but his family is causing a hugemotion. They¡¯re probably trying to scam us.¡±

    Xuan Sheng also felt that it was strange. He had been woken up early in the morning. He had thought that the matter had blown up, but after listening to the shrews curse for half an hour, his head hurt.

    ¡°Bring them away first. We¡¯re wasting time here.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the chaotic scene. That family had brought a bunch of helpers and forced the construction to stop.

    ¡°No, Miss Xia, this family member brought a group of people here. It¡¯s not convenient for us to get into a conflict. There are so many people watching.¡± The person in charge was in a difficult position. He had just fallen from the top and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. However, the family member of the victim was still unreasonable. He was at his wit¡¯s end.

    ¡°You should have brought someone over, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xuan Sheng raised his amorous eyes. Those old farts from Glory World Corporation wanted to bite him whenever they had the chance. When he went out usually, there were many people protecting him both openly and secretly.

    ¡°Lend them to me. Consider it a favor I owe you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and gestured. A dozen or so well-trained guards gathered.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to seek justice by bringing them to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau to cry? Go there and take your time.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice gradually attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Even the family members, who had been wailing, stopped and looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and pointed at the people who were hugging the switch on the floor and refusing to let go. ¡°Get them away. I¡¯ll be responsible if they¡¯re injured or disabled.¡±

    Xuan Sheng gave a look and the guards stepped forward. How could that mob be a match for the professional guards? They were subdued in a few moves. The in-charge found a brick truck at the scene and stuffed them in. Then, he dragged them to the city police station.

    Xuan Sheng seemed to have thought of something. He got someone to find a chair and leanedzily on it, watching Xia Wanyuan smile wantonly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look at that limestone cave.¡± Since they were already there, Xia Wanyuan might as well go in and investigate.

    ¡°Okay, follow me.¡± The in-charge led the way for Xia Wanyuan while Xuan Sheng followed slowly behind.

    Just as they entered a cold mountain, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan stop in her tracks, the in-charge turned around in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Miss Xia?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood by the mountain wall and ced her hand on the rock to quietly feel it for a few seconds. It was as if something was vibrating and about to break out of her body. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes instantly turned sharp.

    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous here. Let¡¯s go!¡±

 Chapter 332 - Earthquake Buried the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 332: Earthquake Buried the Princess</h4>

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the person in charge, who had just lowered his head, suddenly ran out of the mountain gate. His strong skills did not look like that of a well-mannered business manager at all. Xia Wanyuan was a distance away from him. By the time she reacted to catch him, he had already slipped out the door.

    It was unknown what mechanism he had pressed on the originally bright door, but a stone door instantly fell.

    At the same time, the ground began to shake violently. Under such a strong vibration, the mountain began to roll down countless stones. There was a rumble outside, and in the cave,rge stones were smashing down.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Xuan Sheng could not help but curse softly.?<i>¡®Can an earthquake be controlled by humans?¡¯</i>

    As Xuan Sheng dodged the falling stones, he followed Xia Wanyuan to check if the door was open.

    ¡°We can¡¯t go out.¡± Xia Wanyuan remembered the terrain outside. Around this mountain were several mountains higher than it, and they were extremely close. Under such a vibration, even if she could go out, she would be hit by overwhelming rocks. Xia Wanyuan made a prompt decision. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan wanted to run into the cave.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Seeing arge rock that was half the height of a person smashing down in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direction, Xuan Sheng was shocked. He immediately reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan away, but he did not notice the rock that had fallen from his head.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pupils shrank. The rock smashed straight at Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan pulled Xuan Sheng away, but it was toote to dodge. In a moment of desperation, Xia Wanyuan flew and kicked the rock to the side.

    The huge impact of the kick made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs weaken. Amidst the chaos of flying sand and rolling stones, Xuan Sheng could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Xuan Sheng panicked. He hurriedly helped Xia Wanyuan up. He did not notice the rubble that had fallen onto him.

    ¡°Go northwest.¡± Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth, her gaze firm.

    Xia Wanyuan had just taken a look. The mountain was extremely fragile, and there was more earth than stone. Under such a tremor, it was likely that the cave would notst long before it was filled with earth and stones.

    <i>There seemed to be less soil and stones falling in the northwest direction. Perhaps we could find a more solid ce.</i>

    Xuan Sheng used his hand to protect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head in case a rock fell on her as he ran northwest with her.

    As expected, in a small corner in the northwest direction, the stone was extremely hard. Even with such a strong vibration, not many rocks fell.

    Xuan Sheng brought Xia Wanyuan and sat close to the stone wall. The vibrations underground were still abnormally violent and did not show any signs of weakening. Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    <i>Will the earthquakest that long?</i>

    However, she did not have time to think too much. The pain that she did not feel in her panic just now slowly came out from between her legs. She had directly gone up with that kick just now, and her legs were numb now.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. Her leg was probably broken, so she reached out and tore open her sleeve. Xia Wanyuan touched a stone b and tied it up. The excruciating pain made Xia Wanyuan sweat.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands did not stop. She firmly fixed the ce where she was injured to prevent her bones from misced.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve implicated you.¡± Xuan Sheng quietly watched Xia Wanyuan wrap the rough stone b around her fair calves. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was either scratched or covered in dust. Xuan Sheng, who had always been a clean freak, felt that she was extremely clean.

    There was clearly something wrong with the person in charge just now. Xuan Sheng felt that it should be the doing of the old fart from Glory World Corporation.

    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault. He should be here for me,¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and suddenly said. The moment the person in charge turned around to confirm that they were trapped inside and could not get out, he looked at her.

    Earth and stones kept falling. The originally small cave gradually piled up stones that were as tall as a person as time passed, filling the entire cave. Only in the north-west corner, less than two square meters, was there a gap.

    Xia Wanyuan took out her phone. As expected, there was no signal. This was at the foot of the mountain, and the signal was extremely weak. Under such an earthquake, the base station outside was probably damaged.

    ¡°What should we do now?¡± Xuan Sheng looked at the soil and rocks that were taller than him. He could not even stretch his legs. He frowned tightly. Who knew how long it would take for the rescue team to find them?

    Outside the mountain, it was even more serious than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. This ¡°earthquake¡± affected the entire Lin Xi City, and even the surrounding cities had an extremely strong tremor.

    It was chaotic. It was currently the summer river flood season, and the intense earthquake triggered the dam break. Half of the city was drowned in the flood.

    Corpses were everywhere.

    The ident was too big. Soon, everyone¡¯s eyes were on this disaster city.

    After Shen Qian learned of this, he immediately contacted Xia Wanyuan. All he received was ¡°the number you called is not in the service area.¡±

    Shen Qian had been in the industry for many years. He knew about the awkward rtionship between the Xia family and Xia Wanyuan, as well as her celebrity status. Hence, he did not tell Xia Yuanqing the news immediately but contacted Chen Yun.

    ¡°What?!!! You said that Wanyuan is in Linxi City?!!¡± Chen Yun could not even hold the phone properly.

    When Xia Wanyuan left, she only said that she had something to attend to in another city. They didn¡¯t know where Xia Wanyuan had gone at all. Looking at the scene on the television where wolves were everywhere, Chen Yun¡¯s heart sank.

    ¡°Thank you, CEO Shen. Please keep it a secret for the time being.¡± After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun immediately drove to the manor.

    Uncle Wang, who was watering the nts leisurely, dropped the kettle when he heard this news.

    Uncle Wang was extremely anxious. He knew that Jun Shiling¡¯s matters in Continent F were very important, but thinking that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s life was still unknown, Uncle Wang decided to call Jun Shiling immediately.

    In themand center two thousand meters below Continent F, there was only a dedicated signal passage.

    In the huge meeting room, there were nearly a thousand people sitting. Jun Shiling sat on the stage and listened to the reports one by one. In the 3D screen, infrared lights shed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll increase Lie Dun¡¯s military budget by another two billion.¡± After looking at the disy on the screen, Jun Shiling gave the order. ¡°Poison Scorpion 1 has once appeared in the slums in the north of Lie Dun. ording to Old K¡¯s habits, he will choose a city in the south as the first explosive point.¡±

    Jun Shiling was about to continue when Bo Xiao suddenly rushed up the stage and said something to Jun Shiling.

    Then, everyone saw that the usually decisive and ruthless Zeus was actually clearly flustered, scaring everyone.

    <i>How scary was that thing that could make this person panic?!</i>

 Chapter 333 - Jun Shiling Returns to China

    <h4>Chapter 333: Jun Shiling Returns to China</h4>

    ¡°Stay and host. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up from his seat and did not even have time to speak. After asking Bo Xiao to stay behind to host, he strode out of the meeting room.

    Jun Shiling switched on his phone. There were 20 missed calls from the manor.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was cold as he called. ¡°Uncle Wang, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Uncle Wang told Jun Shiling about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation in Lin Xi City and the news reports.

    ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was calm, but his hands that were holding the phone were already turning pale from excessive force.

    Jun Shiling tried his best to calm down. In the half an hour from underground to outside, Jun Shiling made twenty calls.

    As soon as they came out of the underground, the helicopter that had been arranged long ago sent Jun Shiling to the nearest airport.

    ¡°Zeus, the Hurricane is in position.¡± The moment the helicopternded, a senior official in uniform walked towards Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied softly. Facing the loud engine sound, he boarded the Hurricane that was slumbering like a ferocious beast.

    As the most advanced non- civilian ne in the world, the supersonic speed of the Hurricane could directly shorten the fourteen-hour flight time to three hours.

    That night, while most people were asleep, Hurricane tore through the night sky like a fierce tiger.

    After greeting everyone beforehand, Hurricane took off from F State and flew straight to China. Three hourster, Hurricane arrived in Lin Xi City at the shortest distance possible.

    In China, they had received orders from their superiors. In the military district around Lin Xi City, helicopters andrge trucks were constantly mobilized. Cars came from all directions, squeezing the road to Lin Xi City until it was imprable.

    The loud sonic boom created by the supersonic speed of the Hurricane cut through the silence in the night, but no one had the time to care where the sound came from. There were cries everywhere.

    With the arrival of the Hurricane, hundreds of helicopters hovered above Lin Xi City, waiting for Jun Shiling¡¯s orders. Not far away, personnel who were trudging along the road came withrge lights.

    The city, which was originally dark due to the power outage and water loss, was actually illuminated by so many lights.

    ¡°Dig. Even if we have to flip open the mountain, we have to find him.¡± Jun Shiling walked out of the cabin door and stood proudly, looking cold in the dark.

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions, everyone began to move and methodically carried out rescue work. Countless people who were trapped in the flood were saved.

    Everyone was ced in a brand new tent.

    Dawn arrived and the sun gradually rose. The management of Lin Xi City arrived at the scene at that moment. The notice they had received was to arrive at six o¡¯clock. They did not expect that when they arrived at six o¡¯clock, the rescue area had already been built.

    ¡°Young Master, we still haven¡¯t found her.¡± Lin Jing rushed to Lin Xi City that very night. Every time they saved a group of people, Lin Jing had to verify it. Unfortunately, the results each time were very disappointing.

    ¡°Continue searching.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s face was expressionless, and his voice, which had been silent the entire night, was a little hoarse.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    The search was carried out in an orderly manner, but the anxiety in everyone¡¯s hearts grew with the passage of time.

 Chapter 334 - Finally Found!!!!

    <h4>Chapter 334: Finally Found!!!!</h4>

    An entire day had passed. With another transfer of 3,000 people to help, all the floods had been emptied. Basically, all the people who were not buried were saved and properly settled.

    The signal base station was fully repaired, but unfortunately, after repeated calls, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone always replied with ¡°It¡¯s not in the service area¡±.

    ¡°Young Master, have a bite to eat first. It¡¯s been a day and a night.¡± Lin Jing brought a lunch box over.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s been a day and a night.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded. ¡°Take it away. Have you found out?¡±

    ¡°Shen Qian said that Madam might have gone to check the limestone cave. We¡¯ve already located the location and are currently doing our best to dig, but because the mountain isplicated, it might take some time.¡±

    ¡°Got it. Go.¡± Jun Shiling waved his hand. Lin Jing wanted to say something, but in the end, he shut his mouth.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The temperature in the cave was much lower than outside. In addition, Xia Wanyuan had not eaten for the entire day, so she was cold. Xuan Sheng took off his coat and covered Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and wrapped herself tighter. She could feel that her body was beginning to overdraw its energy.

    ¡°I wonder when they¡¯ll find us in this lousy ce. Do you think we¡¯ll be a pair of dying couple here?¡± Xuan Sheng was also feeling very ufortable, but his peach blossom eyes were still smiling ostentatiously.

    ¡°No, they¡¯ll find us,¡± Xia Wanyuan whispered.

    ¡°Why did you save me just now?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s swollen leg because she had not been treated in time. The smile in his eyes disappeared.

    ¡°There¡¯s no reason. Am I supposed to watch you get smashed to death?¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t think much of it. If it were anyone else, she would help too.

    However, Xuan Sheng smiled. His eyes were red. ¡°I¡¯ve heard a simr sentence in the past. However, what she said was that there¡¯s no reason, I just want to see you die.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could tell that there was something wrong with Xuan Sheng¡¯s tone. She suddenly looked up, but Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression had already returned to normal. He looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face with a familiar evilness. ¡°Sleep for a while and conserve your strength.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She leaned against the stone wall and closed her eyes.

    After Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes, Xuan Sheng looked at her deeply and lowered his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking.

    Two days passed.

    Basically, all the victims had been properly ced at the designated location, but Xia Wanyuan was still not found.

    Half of the mountain where the cave was located had been dug out, but what was strange was that there was no aura at all.

    ¡°Dig up all the mountains in that area and continue to send more people.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the mountains in front of him calmly, but his hands were clenched tightly.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Batches of helicopters, excavators, and heavy machinery continued to be transported over, digging the continuous mountains day and night.

    After not eating or drinking for three days and three nights, in addition to the cold temperature in the cave, the wound on her leg was not properly treated and was constantly inmed and swollen.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stamina decreased very quickly. This body had been pampered since she was young. In the manor, Jun Shiling had taken care of her in every way possible. The empty stomach of Xia Wanyuan caused her to feel dizzy and she woke up in a daze.

    For the past three days, she had basically slept against the stone wall after opening her eyes to speak to Xuan Sheng. She wanted to conserve her strength to the greatest extent, but without energy to replenish, her body would constantly be weak no matter how much she saved.

    On the fourth day, the rescue team was still pushing forward.

    Jun Shiling had not eaten for four days and always took a short nap. He stood at the peak of the mountain and looked at the stone ground below. Even Old Master could not persuade him.

    As time passed second by second, the night gradually approached. The weather, which was still clear in the day, suddenly blew violently and a storm began.

    ¡°Young Master, let¡¯s go back first. It¡¯s raining heavily here.¡± Lin Jing came over with an umbre, but it could not stop the violent wind and heavy rain.

    ¡°I want to apany her.¡± Jun Shiling did not turn around but looked intently at the mountain below, his voice a little hoarse.

    The rain fell on his face, and the corners of his eyes were red.

    The wound on her leg had not been treated for a long time. In addition, she had not eaten for four days, so Xia Wanyuan¡¯s immunity had rapidly decreased. Xuan Sheng was still in a daze when he heard Xia Wanyuan softly cry out.

    What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xuan Sheng leaned over and asked. He saw Xia Wanyuan whispering.

    Xuan Sheng leaned closer and heard Xia Wanyuan call out softly, ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    Xuan Sheng paused, but then he realized that something was wrong with Xia Wanyuan. He reached out and touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. It was burning hot.

    Xuan Sheng pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and called out to her. Then, he realized that Xia Wanyuan had lost consciousness. She had not eaten a single grain of rice in four days. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips were already dry and cracked.

    Xuan Sheng knew that Xia Wanyuan was dehydrated.

    Taking a deep look at Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng reached out and bit open a wound on his wrist. Blood immediately gushed out and he brought his wrist to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth. Sensing the moist liquid flowing by the side of her mouth, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously opened her mouth to swallow it.

    After sending more people over and over again, even though there was a storm, the rescue mission continued to advance rapidly. Finally, after moving nearly half of the mountain rocks away, the detector detected a weak signal deep in the mountain.

 Chapter 335 - The Princess Woke Up and Kissed Master Jun

    <h4>Chapter 335: The Princess Woke Up and Kissed Master Jun</h4>

    This mountain was the most likely ce for Xia Wanyuan to exist. Now that they had detected a signal, everyone was very excited and continued to work with renewed vigor.

    When Jun Shiling, who had been at the scene, heard the report, he immediately went to the mountain and watched the rescue team advance in silence.

    ¡°I think I found something!¡± The rescue team shoveled down and actually dug out an entire piece of dark red soil. It was a dark red color that would only form after being soaked in blood for a long time.

    This ce had already been dug up by the rescue team after they had moved half of the mountain away. After being buried in such a ce for five days, the chances of survival were zero.

    Everyone fell silent and looked at Jun Shiling together.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s face was expressionless as he stared intently at the dark red soil. His voice was low. ¡°Continue.¡±

    The rescue team was continuing when Jun Shiling added, ¡°Be gentler.¡± There was an obvious tremble in his voice.

    Everyone carefully dug. Jun Shiling stared intently at that ce. More and more blood appeared, and Jun Shiling¡¯s palm was covered in blood.

    Finally, a man with a watch appeared in front of everyone. Jun Shiling closed his eyes.

    The soil in this area was extremely soft. Soon, the rescue team dug to the bottom of the mountain. At this moment, the detector suddenly sounded an intense siren.

    It had detected signs of life!!

    More people were gathered and immersed in the excavation.

    The top medical team that Jun Shiling had gathered from the world was already waiting by the side.

    In the mountain, Xia Wanyuan was in a daze. She felt as if she was walking in a fog, and from the fog came waves of conversation.

    ¡°Mother Queen?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked forward, passing through theyers of mist. She saw that in the distance, her parents were still as noble as before. In the next moment, they were draped in armor and dying for their country on the city tower.

    ¡°Father King! Mother Queen!¡± Xia Wanyuan tried her best to move forward, but she realized that she could not get close no matter what. She wanted to shout loudly, but her mouth seemed to be sealed by something, and she could not cry out.

    ¡°Sister, Sister.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around when she heard her younger siblings calling out to her. Her younger siblings, who had been naive and lively when they were young, were looking at her with wide eyes. They wanted to get close to her, but it was as if they were in two different worlds and could not hug each other no matter what.

    The fog gradually thickened, and she could no longer see anyone around her. She could only hear waves of conversation. Xia Wanyuan walked aimlessly. She heard all kinds of voices, evoking the little memories of her previous life.

    She did not know where she was or where she was going. She was deep in the ck fog and did not know where the end was.

    At that moment, an anxious voice suddenly sounded from the mixed voices. ¡°Xia Wanyuan!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned.?<i>Jun Shiling?</i>?Xia Wanyuan wanted to reply, but she couldn¡¯t open her mouth. The ck fog around her grew thicker and swallowed her.

    Following the signal, the rescue team finally opened a passage. However, the shocking scene behind the passage shocked everyone.

    In the narrow space, there was blood all over the ground. The man in ck was hugging someone with one hand and the other was ced by the woman¡¯s lips. Both of them were unconscious and it was unknown if they were dead or alive.

    After opening the passage, everyone quickly retreated, leaving enough space. The professional doctor quickly stepped forward and after a preliminary check of the situation, he carried the two of them onto a stretcher and sent them to the professional medical room that had been built in the past three days.

    Jun Shiling had been following the doctor in silence, not disturbing their treatment, but he did not take his eyes off Xia Wanyuan for a moment.

    The results of the examination relieved everyone.

    The scene of the two of them covered in blood just now was too impactful, making everyone jump in shock. They were afraid that the person had been hit by a rock and had lost so much blood. If he had been smashed into this state, his organs would definitely fail.

    In the end, that was not the case. Xia Wanyuan had fainted because of her stamina failure and the inmmation of her leg injury. After the doctor treated her leg injury and injected her with a nutritionist to replenish her energy, her condition gradually stabilized.

    On Xuan Sheng¡¯s side, it was more troublesome. He did not have any external injuries, but he had lost too much blood and had already caused respiratory failure. If the rescue team had arrived a littleter, his life would have been in danger.

    Fortunately, there was a top-notch medical team and an adequate stockpile of drugs here. The doctor treated him with blood transfusion, and the rest of the time was to observe the subsequent situation.

    The doctor and the others had already left. The ward was quiet except for the slight sound of the medical equipment.

    Jun Shiling sat by the bed and quietly looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pale face under the oxygen mask.

    After looking at it for a while, Jun Shiling reached out and carefully ced the back of his hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chest.

    Thump! Thump! Thump!

    Her heart beat strongly under the back of his hand, and Jun Shiling suddenly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were already red.

    The medicine dripped into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body bit by bit. Suddenly, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyshes twitched. Sensing a heat on the back of her hand, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes.

    The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the tired and slovenly Jun Shiling. She had never seen Jun Shiling look so dejected.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan open her eyes, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shone with strong joy. The doctor had estimated that Xia Wanyuan would wake up at this time, and Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was relieved.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She lowered her head and saw two drops of crystal on the back of her left hand.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and called out to Jun Shiling.

    Mm, I¡¯m here,¡± Jun Shiling replied gently. Then, he reached out to wipe the tears off the back of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and stuffed her hand under the nket.

    Xia Wanyuan had a lot to say, but in the end, she only said, ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯ve be ugly.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was silent.

    ¡°Go and wash up. Get someone toe in and wipe my body. I¡¯m not feeling well.¡± Having not showered for a few days, Xia Wanyuan felt very ufortable.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go and ask the doctor if it¡¯s okay.¡±

    Due to the fact that Xia Wanyuan did not have any other superficial wounds, the doctor had instructed her not to touch her leg injury, so Jun Shiling sent two nurses over.

    After being called ugly by Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling cleaned himself up in amusement and sadness. When he changed his clothes and went to the ward, Xia Wanyuan had also changed into a clean set of clothes. Her stamina was slowly recovering, and she was lying on the bed drinking the porridge the nurse had fed her.

    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Jun Shiling reached out for the bowl and made the others leave. He fed Xia Wanyuan spoon by spoon.

    After eating a bowl of porridge, Jun Shiling ced the bowl aside and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. Can I sleep for a while?¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan see the fine redness in his eyes. Her eyes widened. ¡°You haven¡¯t slept at all?!¡±

    Jun Shiling did not answer and only held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s left hand. He leaned on the bed and prepared to sleep for a while. Even with his stamina, he could not hold on much longer.

    However, Xia Wanyuan reached out to stop him. ¡°Sleep on the bed.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bed was a specially-maderge bed that could amodate two people. Jun Shiling did not decline and took off his shoes to lie beside Xia Wanyuan. He kept a distance from her, afraid that he would touch her wound.

    Jun Shiling was really sleepy. He fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow. Xia Wanyuan had been sleeping, but she was no longer sleepy.

    Xia Wanyuan looked quietly at Jun Shiling, who was sleeping beside her. Her eyes flickered.

    After some time¡­

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly moved her head forward and nted a kiss on the corner of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    The person who had been sleeping had unknowingly opened her eyes and was staring at Xia Wanyuan with a burning gaze.

 Chapter 336 - Get Together!! Hehe

    <h4>Chapter 336: Get Together!! Hehe</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had just left the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips. The two of them were very close, their breathing intertwined.

    ¡°Kissing me secretly while I was asleep?¡± Jun Shiling suddenly smiled, his eyes shockingly bright. The heat that came out of his mouth made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart tremble.

    ¡°Since when?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed.

    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s not a secret kiss. Now that I¡¯m awake, you can kiss me openly.¡± Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face turn redder and redder, and his heart almost melted into a puddle.

    Xia Wanyuan was not a coy person to begin with. She was not as embarrassed as Jun Shiling thought. She mustered her courage and looked up at Jun Shiling.

    Even though he had slept, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were still bloodshot, and he could not hide his fatigue.

    Xia Wanyuan steeled her heart and leaned forward to peck Jun Shiling¡¯s left cheek again. Then, she stepped back and said arrogantly, ¡°It¡¯s open and aboveboard.¡± However, her eyes dodged, not daring to meet Jun Shiling¡¯s burning gaze.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a smile on his face. The corners of his lips seemed to still retain Xia Wanyuan¡¯s warmth. Jun Shiling moved forward, his upper body leaning closer to Xia Wanyuan, and his lower body maintained a distance from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injured leg.

    ¡°Let me hug you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were red. She looked up and saw the boundless indulgence in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Jun Shiling reached out his arm and wrapped it around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, hugging her tightly.

    Leaning against Jun Shiling¡¯s strong heartbeat, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt at ease. The coldness in the cave seemed to still be in front of her, but it was blocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s warmth.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dependence, Jun Shiling¡¯s body stiffened.

    Suddenly feeling a warmth on her forehead, Xia Wanyuan shuddered. Then, she heard Jun Shiling mutter softly, ¡°I love you.¡± Xia Wanyuan paused.

    Jun Shiling nted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°I love you.¡±

    cheeks,

    ¡°I love you.¡±

    eyes,

    ¡­¡­..

    Jun Shiling had paced around countless ces and said ¡®I love you¡¯ countless times. It was only when Xia Wanyuan waspletely red that Jun Shiling covered her with his nket.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were especially gentle as he gently demanded the sweetness that belonged to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan felt as if she had fallen into the clouds and into Jun Shiling¡¯s patient and tolerant. She felt extremely at ease.

    Xia Wanyuan had already made up her mind. Now, she no longer resisted Jun Shiling¡¯s advances. Instead, she clung to his shoulders and responded clumsily.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clumsy response, Jun Shiling first paused, then became even more intense.

    After some time, Jun Shiling finally let go of Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and sucked in air.

    ¡°Have I waited for you?¡± Jun Shiling stared at Xia Wanyuan and asked.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and no longer avoided Jun Shiling¡¯s scorching gaze.

    Even though he had already guessed it, hearing it from Xia Wanyuan still made his heart explode with fireworks. The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    He lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    <i>Thank you for being okay. Thank you for being by my side.</i>

    ¡°I want to sleep. I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned and shrank into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dependence on him, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart almost melted. His voice became even gentler. ¡°Okay, together.¡±

    The moon was hanging high outside the window, and the people in the house were exchanging warm dreams.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling had not slept in a long time. Furthermore, with Xia Wanyuan by his side, his heart was peaceful. He slept very soundly.

    When the doctor came for a follow-up examination in the morning, he did not wake Jun Shiling, who was sleeping soundly with Xia Wanyuan in his arms.

    The doctor could only look away awkwardly. After helping Xia Wanyuan with all the checkups, he quickly left.

    Lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s warm arms, Xia Wanyuan was bored, so she observed Jun Shiling¡¯s face. Although she said that Jun Shiling had be ugly, she thought to herself that Jun Shiling was really good-looking.

    After sleeping, Jun Shiling restrained his cold aura. Xia Wanyuan reached out to poke Jun Shiling¡¯s eyshes. She was about to lean closer topare how long Jun Shiling¡¯s eyshes were.

    The hand around her waist suddenly tightened, causing her to fall into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Baby, what are you doing?¡± Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had a deep voice that was increasingly maic. It was like an electric current that made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart tingle.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if you¡¯re awake.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and leaned forward to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Morning.¡±

    ¡°Good morning.¡±

    ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll get you breakfast.¡± Jun Shiling did not want to let go of Xia Wanyuan, but he looked at the time and realized it was time to eat.

    Jun Shiling said that he wanted to get up, but the hand around his waist did not let go.

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Be good, I¡¯ll be right back. I¡¯ll be with you in a while. You¡¯ve just recovered, so you can¡¯t be hungry.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An embarrassed look shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She nodded and let go.

    Soon, Jun Shiling brought the nurse back with a few tes.

    After dismissing all the nurses, Jun Shiling picked up a bowl of porridge and blew on it until it was warm. Then, he fed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    When Xia Wanyuan was full, Jun Shiling picked up another bowl of porridge and ate it slowly.

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan had eaten her fill and was half lying on the bed.

    ¡°This porridge doesn¡¯t have much taste.¡± Jun Shiling swallowed a mouthful of porridge and looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully.

    ¡°Ask the chef to make something else for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan was ying with the little flower in her hand with her head lowered, not noticing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°No need. I¡¯ll be fine with you.¡± Jun Shiling had put down his bowl at some point in time and leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Madam, add some sugar.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red face and scraped her mouth little by little. The flowers in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand fell, and Jun Shiling¡¯s hand gradually interlocked with hers.

    After a while, Jun Shiling moved away and stared at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze. He then said, ¡°So sweet.¡±

    ¡°Eat your food!¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to re at Jun Shiling angrily. Jun Shiling smiled and did not do anything else. He picked up the bowl of porridge and continued eating.

    ¡°The porridge is much sweeter now.¡± Jun Shiling drank a mouthful of porridge and mumbled to himself. Then, he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face gradually turn red.

    When the doctor came for another checkup, he entered and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flushed face. He thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s inmmation had acted up again, causing her to have a high fever.

    ¡°Do you have a fever?! Are you feeling unwell?¡± The doctor quickly walked to the bed and examined Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 337 - The Princess Acting Coquettishly, Hehe

    <h4>Chapter 337: The Princess Acting Coquettishly, Hehe</h4>

    ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever. Why is your face so red?¡± the doctor whispered before instructing the nurse. ¡°Remember to open the windows on time for venttion. The room is too closed and it¡¯s easy to suffocate.¡±

    Hearing the doctor¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed. She secretly nced at Jun Shiling and met his smiling gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s recovery was very good. After the doctor gave her some instructions, he left the ward.

    Feeling embarrassed about what had just happened, Xia Wanyuan threw a rare tantrum with Jun Shiling and red at him. Then, she deliberately ignored Jun Shiling¡¯s words, afraid that he would say all sorts of things that would make her blush again.

    Jun Shiling did not want to be separated from Xia Wanyuan for a second. After the doctor left, Jun Shiling sat on the bed.

    ¡°Madam, give me a hug.¡± The moment Jun Shiling entered the nket, he opened his arms to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°No.¡±

    It was rare to see Xia Wanyuan so delicate. Not only was Jun Shiling not angry, but he also felt that there was another meaning to it. He liked Xia Wanyuan very much.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll hug you.¡± Jun Shiling stretched out his long arm and hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan actually liked Jun Shiling¡¯s embrace too as it made her feel very safe. Although she said no, Xia Wanyuan did not struggle as she stayed in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling quietly hugged Xia Wanyuan and took a book for her to read. Time passed slowly, and it was lunchtime in the blink of an eye.

    As usual, the lunch that was served was porridge and side dishes.

    Jun Shiling was not the only one who felt that the porridge tasted too nd. Xia Wanyuan had not eaten anything proper for nearly a week. After eating two consecutive meals of porridge, there was no taste in her mouth. Xia Wanyuan could not help but feel a little resistant.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat porridge anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the in porridge with some resistance.

    ¡°Be good. The doctor said to eat something light to nourish your stomach. You haven¡¯t eaten in a long time.¡± Jun Shiling scooped a mouthful of porridge and brought it to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth.

    Under Jun Shiling¡¯s encouraging gaze, Xia Wanyuan took a sip. As expected, it still tasted the same. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to take a second sip no matter what.

    Xia Wanyuan bit her lip and pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Can I not eat this? It¡¯s tasteless.¡±

    ¡°No, you haven¡¯t recovered.¡± Jun Shiling felt that what Xia Wanyuan was pulling was not her sleeve, but his heart.

    However, thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health, Jun Shiling steeled his heart and rejected her request.

    Just as Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan, she knew Jun Shiling¡¯s bottom line too well.

    Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to step forward and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. She looked up, her eyes shining. ¡°That tastes so dull. I can¡¯t eat it anymore. Can you change it?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding the spoon trembled. ¡°You¡­¡±

    ¡°Okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked again. She even leaned over and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek.

    With this, Jun Shiling¡¯s already fragile bottom line of principles in front of Xia Wanyuanpletely copsed.

    ¡°Where did you learn these tricks?¡± Jun Shiling put the bowl and spoon aside, gritted his teeth, and hugged Xia Wanyuan fiercely.

    ¡°Then can you change it for me?¡± A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°You¡¯re the ancestor. Can I not change it for you?¡± Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and kissed Xia Wanyuan heavily on the cheek. Then, he got out of bed and personally arranged food for Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 338 - Call Me Brother and Ill Give It to You, Hehe

    <h4>Chapter 338: Call Me Brother and I¡¯ll Give It to You, Hehe</h4>

    In the end, it was still the chef that Jun Shiling had brought from Beijing whopleted the ¡°healthy, but not nd and tasteless¡± request that Jun Shiling had given him.

    Before sending it to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling still asked the doctor about her condition. The doctor did not object and only said to eat as little as possible.

    Finally tasting the meat and savory vor, Xia Wanyuan felt as if her taste buds had been reborn.

    After being trapped in the cave for so long, she felt that she could barely taste the food anymore. The two days of porridge made her feel like she had nothing to live for anymore. Now that she had finally eaten food other than porridge, Xia Wanyuan was in an extremely good mood.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan had recovered her strength, Jun Shiling insisted on feeding her. Seeing that Jun Shiling had satisfied her lunch request, Xia Wanyuan did not resist and allowed Jun Shiling to feed her.

    Jun Shiling scooped a second spoonful into his hand. He was amused when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expectant expression, as if she was waiting to be fed.

    ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Jun Shiling asked.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Her clean little face had a satisfied smile, looking very obedient.

    ¡°Call me ¡®Brother¡¯ and I¡¯ll give you a second bite.¡± Xia Wanyuan usually had a cold look on her face and did not look very obedient. Hence, every time Xia Wanyuan showed her obedience, Jun Shiling could not help but want to bully her.

    ?????

    Xia Wanyuan was silent.

    ¡°Are you going to call me that or not?¡± Jun Shiling held back his smile and waved the fragrant spoonful of food in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡­¡­..

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and suddenly pursed her lips. She lowered her eyes. ¡°I saw that when people first get together in television dramas, the men always agreed to whatever the girls asked for. But you, you abused me from the beginning.¡±

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to say this and was stunned. ¡°When did I abuse you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry. You¡¯re letting me eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her voice. She shrank into the hospital gown, looking a little pitiful.

    Even though he knew that Xia Wanyuan was acting for him, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart still trembled. He felt his heart ache. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You don¡¯t have to call anymore. Eat, eat. I really can¡¯t do anything to you.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan look up. As expected, there was no grievance in her eyes, but a bright smile.

    Jun Shiling helplessly picked up spoonfuls of rice and fed Xia Wanyuan.

    After the meal, Jun Shiling peeled an apple by the side. Xia Wanyuan leaned on the bed and looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting beside her with his head lowered. He patiently swirled the apple skin down, then cut it into small pieces and ced them on a te. He picked them up with a stick and brought them to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth.

    Xia Wanyuan bit down on it sweetly.

    There was still a pile of things waiting for Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions outside. After taking care of Xia Wanyuan, he ate the apple and apanied her to digest the food for an hour. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan lie down. ¡°Sleep for a while. I¡¯m going out to settle something. I¡¯ll be backter.¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling tidying the nket confidently, Xia Wanyuan suddenly reached out and waved at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°I need to talk to you.¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over to Xia Wanyuan, who tilted her head and leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. Her smiling voice sounded. ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with shy and smiling eyes.

    <h4>Chapter 339: You Should Die for Hurting Her</h4>

    ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Jun Shiling sighed helplessly and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face very gently. ¡°I¡¯ll go to work first. Sleep for a while.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. As shey under the nket, her cold eyes softened in front of Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hairfortingly, kissed her on the forehead, and left the ward.

    Lin Jing was standing outside the door. Seeing that Jun Shiling had finallye out and seeing the gentleness on his face, waves surged in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

    ¡°The person in charge who brought Madam into the limestone cave is already in our hands. He ran out very early and someone prepared a passport for him in advance. He was about to fly abroad when we caught him at the airport.¡±

    ¡°Mm, has he said anything?¡± Thinking of how this person had put Xia Wanyuan in danger, a cold glint shed in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Not yet.¡± Lin Jing thought that this person¡¯s mouth was still quite hard. He could not pry it open no matter what.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go and take a look.¡± Jun Shiling brought Lin Jing to the secret prison in Lin Xi City.

    In the basement, the originally well-dressed person in charge had been beaten up until he was covered in injuries. However, with the best medical team by his side, no matter how badly he was beaten, the doctor could save him in the shortest time possible and keep him awake.

    ¡°Get out.¡± Jun Shiling sat on the chair in front of the in-charge. Lin Jing waved his hand and got the others to leave.

    When the in-charge heard themotion, he saw a very familiar and cold-looking man sitting in front of him. He thought hard for a while and remembered that this was Jun Shiling, the richest man in China.

    ¡°Tell me, who sent you?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice made the in-charge¡¯s heart turn cold.

    ¡°Pfft, I¡¯ve said it countless times. I was instructed by those old shareholders of Glory World Corporation to help them kill Xuan Sheng. That¡¯s the answer no matter how you ask me.¡±

    ¡°What level are you under Old K? Level 6? Level 7?¡± Jun Shilingpletely ignored the in-charge¡¯s words and asked him, as he stared at the in-charge with his cold eyes.

    The person in charge was already under tremendous pressure. Under Jun Shiling¡¯s extremely oppressive gaze, he was stunned for a moment.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling saw the respect and panic shing across his eyes.

    ¡°Who is Old K? I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± The person in charge did not dare to look Jun Shiling in the eye anymore and retracted his gaze.

    Jun Shiling suddenly stood up, walked to the in-charge, and stepped on the joint between his fingers.

    The excruciating pain made the in-charge cry out. He could not help but look up at Jun Shiling angrily.

    The gentleness that Jun Shiling had in front of Xia Wanyuan hadpletely disappeared, reced by a bloodthirsty dark light.

    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have hurt her,¡± Jun Shiling said quietly.

    The in-charge had received strict training. He, who had not felt any fear under countless tortures, could actually feel fear and death under Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°The scenery in Donke is not bad.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly changed the topic and said something unrted, but the person in charge¡¯s eyes suddenly widened.

    ¡°What do you mean?!¡± The person in charge finally sounded a little panicked.

    ¡°Nothing much. I originally wanted you to exin more.¡± Jun Shiling let go of the switch and nced at the in-charge calmly. ¡°But you injured her. You deserve to die.¡±

    When he met Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, the in-charge¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    After leaving the dungeon, Jun Shiling frowned slightly.

    <i>Why did Old Ky a hand on Xia Wanyuan? Could it be that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity had been exposed??</i>

    <i>No.?</i>Jun Shiling quickly rejected this thought.

    <i>If Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity was exposed, then they should capture her alive and not kill her.</i>

    <i>But now, they actually wanted to kill Xia Wanyuan. Which meant that there was another reason. What could it be?</i>

    ¡°Young Master, the victims in the city have been properly settled. The higher-ups have sent people to ask if the people in the surrounding military district can go back first.¡±

    ¡°Sure. Leave a small number of people to help. The rest can leave.¡±

    Jun Shiling gave the order and the teams stationed in Lin Xi City began to transport outwards with Lin Xi City as the center. The entire Lin Xi City began to recover systematically.

    Jun Shiling returned to the ward, but he did not see Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss Xia went to visit Mr. Xuan.¡± The nurse was helping Xia Wanyuan make the bed. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, she hurriedly exined to him.

    <i>Xuan Sheng??</i>

    Jun Shiling wanted to look for Xia Wanyuan, but he stopped in his tracks.

    Logically speaking, he should be thanking Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan was severely dehydrated. Even the doctor said that if Xuan Sheng had not given his blood to Xia Wanyuan, she would not havested until they came to save her.

    Although he had mixed feelings, Jun Shiling still chose to believe Xia Wanyuan.

    In the ward next door, Xuan Sheng, who was well taken care of, was slowly recovering.

    Xuan Sheng, who usually had a devilish look on his face, looked much more amiable than usual in his hospital gown.

    ¡°How¡¯s your leg?¡± Xuan Sheng was still a little dizzy. Seeing Xia Wanyuane over, he supported himself to sit up.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious.¡± The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards Xuan Sheng¡¯s bed. ¡°How are you?¡±

    ¡°Not good.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom-shaped eyes curved into a familiar arc. ¡°It hurts everywhere. I need yourfort, Ms. Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and said solemnly, ¡°Thank you.¡±

    She was unconscious at that time and did not know that Xuan Sheng had used his blood to save her. She only knew about it after Jun Shiling told her.

    ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t want you to thank me at all.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words of thanks strictly separated the two of them.

    ¡°Rest well.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not stupid. Even though Xuan Sheng always liked to joke and his words were mixed with truth and falsehood, she could feel Xuan Sheng¡¯s feelings for her.

    However, since she had already chosen Jun Shiling, she would not let others have hope.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng nodded and looked at Xia Wanyuan almost greedily.

    The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards the door, but Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of something and gestured for the nurse to push her back.

    Xuan Sheng, who was lying on the bed with his head lowered, did not expect Xia Wanyuan toe back. He looked at her in confusion.

    ¡°You¡¯re a very good person. You don¡¯t have to bear the consequences of other people¡¯s mistakes.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re giving me a good person card.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She had already said what she wanted to say. The nurse pushed her out the door. Behind her, Xuan Sheng stopped smiling. He quietly watched Xia Wanyuan leave and thought for a long time.

    Jun Shiling waited in the ward for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan did not return.

    Jun Shiling had always been strong and confident, but in front of Xia Wanyuan, all his defenses were useless.

    Finally, as his heart sank, the door to the ward opened. Xia Wanyuan was pushed in by the nurse, and Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over.

    ¡°Are you done?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m done. I came back to have dinner with you.¡± After dismissing the nurse, Jun Shiling carefully picked Xia Wanyuan up and ced her on the bed.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I just went to see Xuan Sheng.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan adjust the nket.

    ¡°He¡¯s recovering well.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve arranged for a specialized doctor to take care of him. He¡¯ll get better.¡± After tucking in the nket, Jun Shiling sat by the bed and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan found it a little strange. In the past, when an innocent Wei Zimu called her sister, Jun Shiling would always tease her with the word ¡°brother¡±. Why did Jun Shiling look so magnanimous now that it was Xuan Sheng who was really entangled with her?

    Xia Wanyuan thought of something and asked directly.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°I¡¯m very grateful to him. Besides, I believe in you.¡±

    In the past, most of the time, he had only done it to tease Xia Wanyuan. He was not really angry.

    Regarding Xuan Sheng, how could he not see Xuan Sheng¡¯s feelings for Xia Wanyuan? That day, when the passageway was opened, the scene of blood on the ground shocked him for a moment. If not for Xuan Sheng, he might have lost Xia Wanyuan. Hence, he was grateful to Xuan Sheng.

    And most importantly, he was willing to believe Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s answer was expected. Xia Wanyuan stretched. ¡°I want to eat an apple.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll peel it for you.¡±

    Jun Shiling held a small knife and quietly peeled the skin by the bed.

    ¡°How many people know about me in Lin Xi City?¡±

    ¡°Your manager and grandfather. No one else knows.¡±

    Afraid that Xiao Bao would be sad, the old master was anxious after knowing that Xia Wanyuan was buried in the mountains. However, in front of Xiao Bao, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.

    As for the news from the outside world, unless Jun Shiling allowed it, no one could report the situation in Lin Xi City.

    ¡°Then when are we going back to Beijing? My injury isn¡¯t that serious either.¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow morning.¡± In the end, it was still not as convenient as in Beijing. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg injury had recovered pretty well. The doctor had also said that it would not be a problem to escort her on the way.

    After taking care of Xia Wanyuan for dinner, Jun Shiling got onto the bed and sat beside her. He chatted with her for a while and told her bedtime stories. Only after coaxing her to sleep did Jun Shiling gently get off the bed and go to the room next door.

    ¡°How¡¯s Sister-inw¡¯s condition?¡± Bo Xiao finally contacted Jun Shiling. He wanted to burn three incense sticks for God.

    ¡°Her body is recovering,¡± Jun Shiling replied. He frowned when he saw the background behind Bo Xiao. ¡°You¡¯re not in themand center?¡±

    ¡°My Great Master Jun, do you think I can suppress that group of people after you leave? Without you there to suppress them, I think they can even fight in the meeting room. I discussed with the others and dismissed the meeting first. I¡¯m in Lie Dun now, and the Poison Scorpion Laboratory is probably here.¡±

    It was not easy for him to contact Jun Shiling. Bo Xiao wished he could pour out all his words.

    ¡°Go back to Beijing first. There¡¯s a problem with the Bo family, so don¡¯t worry about Lie Dun for the time being.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

 Chapter 341 - Jun Shiling Is Extreme

    <h4>Chapter 341: Jun Shiling Is Extreme</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    The next morning, Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan onto the ne back to Beijing.

    Lin Jing went to ask Xuan Sheng if he wanted to leave with them. However, Xuan Sheng¡¯s ¡°I don¡¯t want to take a love rival¡¯s ne¡± stopped him.

    <i>Haha</i>, Lin Jing thought, ¡®<i>You even slept on the hospital bed arranged by your love rival.¡¯?</i>

    When the ne arrived in Beijing, the staff who were already waiting at the airport sent Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan back to the manor.

    ¡°Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao, who had not seen Xia Wanyuan for a week, had tears on his face. He ran towards Xia Wanyuan, but when he was five meters away, he slowed down and carefully approached her.

    ¡°Good boy,e here. Let Mommy hug you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart softened when she saw Xiao Bao¡¯s pitiful look and she reached out to him.

    ¡°Mommy, I missed you so much.¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan gently, afraid that he would hurt her.

    ¡°How is it? Is your body recovering well?¡± The old master came to the manor today.

    ¡°Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I¡¯m fine now.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Old Master nced at Jun Shiling and seemed to sigh. ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯re fine. Otherwise, this grandson of mine might have done something.¡±

    He had always felt that Jun Shiling was too cold-hearted and thought that it would be good if his grandson had some warmth. However, he did not expect that Jun Shiling would be so shocking when he had warmth.

    He would never forget that rainy night. When he called Jun Shiling, he sounded as if he had lost the world.

    Men did not cry easily, let alone Jun Shiling. Thest time he had seen Jun Shiling cry was at his parents¡¯ funeral when he was three years old.

    To be honest, he had not controlled Jun Shiling much since he was young. He did not know how many forces Jun Shiling had created himself. Normally, Jun Shiling would never show it.

    Later on, after the Old Master retired, he handed the Jun Corporation to Jun Shiling. In just four years, he had doubled the size of the corporation. The Old Master had some guesses, but Jun Shiling usually did not say much, and the Old Master did not ask.

    That night, when they learned that Jun Shiling was returning to China, many countries responded together and opened up a green channel for the Hurricane overnight. Sea,nd, and air responded at the same time, and the troops of the various military districts were dispatched one after another.

    Jun Shiling had blocked all news from the outside world, but how could those people in the higher-ups not know about the hugemotion that night?

    Beijing, which was already filled with turmoil, after seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s actions, countless people fell silent and could not sleep.

    The old master knew Jun Shiling¡¯s character. If something really happened to Xia Wanyuan this time, even the old master himself did not know what crazy thing would happen when he stood on such a high level of power.

    ¡°Alright, Grandpa, it¡¯s all in the past. Let¡¯s go in first.¡± Jun Shiling did not want to talk anymore and stopped Old Master from continuing.

    Seeing how Jun Shiling took care of Xia Wanyuan meticulously, the old master felt a littleforted.

    People who walked on the highest authority were actually walking on the edge of ck and white steel wires. If they were not careful, they would be in a bottomless abyss.

    He had always been worried that Jun Shiling would go to the extreme because he was too cold. Now, it seemed that there was no need to worry.. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s existence was the greatest reason for him to protect the endless red dust behind him.

 Chapter 342 - Xia Yu Was Bullied

    <h4>Chapter 342: Xia Yu Was Bullied</h4>

    Since Xia Wanyuan was fine, the old master was relieved. After pulling Jun Shiling out to ask a few questions, he left the manor in peace.

    ¡°Mommy, does it hurt?¡± Xiao Bao stood pitifully by the wheelchair and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg with a pained expression.

    After watching for a while, Xiao Bao ran to Jun Shiling with his eyes wide open and punched him with his little fist. ¡°Daddy, you didn¡¯t protect Mommy well. I don¡¯t like you anymore.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not me Xiao Bao, but picked him up and carried him on hisp. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s my fault.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not your father¡¯s fault. I was careless and caused this.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Your father saved me.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xiao Bao nodded and turned around to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯ve wronged you.¡±

    ¡°Madam, Young Master Xia called yesterday to ask about your situation. I told him that you¡¯ll call back when youe back.¡± Uncle Wang finally saw Xia Wanyuan return safely. He felt as if the rock in his heart had dropped.

    ¡°Okay, got it. I¡¯ll call himter.¡± Xia Yu had been in the military for a while and it was time to call him.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the military district, Xia Yu was running on the runway with a thirty-kilogram sandbag on his back. The early summer sunlight shone on the stic runway and evaporatedyers of heat.

    Xia Yu ran circles on the runway. Sweat seeped out of his hair, but he did notin at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

    ¡°Captain Wang, I¡¯m done with the twentyps. Can I go back and eat?¡± After the twentyps, Xia Yu dragged his heavy feet and walked towards Wang Hui, who was drinking tea leisurely with his legs crossed.

    ¡°No, twenty more rounds. You took a shortcut just now. Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t see it. We agreed on twenty rounds, so we have to you ording to thergest round.¡± Wang Hui¡¯s eyes were filled with smugness when he saw the sweat on Xia Yu¡¯s face.

    When Xia Yu had just entered, he already had a conflict with his teammates. The person he had provoked was a rtive of a certain military leader. As Xia Yu¡¯s captain, Wang Hui naturally received orders. ¡® Just don¡¯t torture him to death, but push him near it.¡¯

    Over the past few days, Xia Yu had been given the heaviest missions and the most bitter training. He couldn¡¯t even guarantee his sleep time. Even the other members of the team couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and wanted to plead for Xia Yu. However, in the end, they were punished together with Xia Yu. In the end, no one dared to say anything.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go overboard!¡± Xia Yu had originally wanted to train himself more before signing up for the military. He knew that Wang Hui was deliberately making things difficult for him.

    However, he did not want to be kicked out halfway before he could even finish his training ss, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

    However, today, Wang Hui punished him for twentyps because he did not greet Wang Hui when he saw Wang Hui. After much difficulty, he was asked to run twentyps again.

    Xia Yu¡¯s obedience made Wang Hui worse.

    ¡°You can choose not to run. Anyway, if you don¡¯t want to graduate sessfully, you don¡¯t need to run.¡± Wang Hui sneered.

    Xia Yu took a deep breath and picked up the bag again. He began to run around the track again.

    ¡°Tsk, this rich second-generation heir is quite tolerant.¡± Seeing Xia Yu stubbornly advance on the runway, Wang Hui scoffed. ¡°Let¡¯s see how long you can endure this.¡±

 Chapter 343 - Do You Not Like Me Anymore?

    <h4>Chapter 343: Do You Not Like Me Anymore?</h4>

    After an unknown period of time, Xia Yu finally finished the remaining twentyps. Wang Hui estimated that it was time for the leaders to return after dinner. It was not good for them to see Xia Yu jogging alone, so he let him go temporarily.

    ¡°Xia Yu, there¡¯s a call for you.¡± Xia Yu walked back under the hot sun when the correspondent stopped him.

    A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yu¡¯s face.

    Who else would call him here other than Xia Wanyuan?!!

    Xia Yu quickly walked to themunication room and picked up the phone eagerly.

    ¡°Sister,¡± Xia Yu¡¯s voice sounded over the phone. The many days of training had its effects. Xia Yu had shed his naivety, and his voice was a little stable.

    ¡°Mm, how are you? Are you okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle voice traveled over, making Xia Yu¡¯s heart ache.

    ¡°I¡¯m pretty good. I just finished my training.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s voice sounded youthful and happy on the phone.

    ¡°Mm, don¡¯t work too hard. If your body can¡¯t take it, ask the leader for a leave. Your body is the most important. If your side has more mosquitoes, then¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had led troops in her previous life and knew that life in the military camp was not easy. It was dull and tiring. Although the current era was developing very advanced and the military camp was not as backward as before, training was still very difficult.

    Xia Wanyuan patiently instructed Xia Yu about some things. Xia Yu, who did not feel wronged no matter how Wang Hui bullied him, had tears in his eyes when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle voice.

    Xia Yu pursed his lips and lowered his exquisite eyebrows, stubbornly refusing to let his tears fall.

    ¡°Do you understand?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked when Xia Yu did not reply after talking for a long time.

    ¡°Got it, Sister. I¡¯ll call you next time. I¡¯m going to eat first.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s voice was nasal.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned, but she didn¡¯t say much. ¡°Alright, go.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan looked at the time on her phone.

    13:08,

    <i>It was supposed to be rest time at this time. Why was he still training and hadn¡¯t eaten?</i>

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    It was supposed to be school time today, and Xiao Bao missed Xia Wanyuan, so he was brought back. Now that his Mommy was safe and sound, Xiao Bao stopped making a fuss and was sent to kindergarten by Jun Shiling.

    After sending Xiao Bao off, Jun Shiling went upstairs and saw Xia Wanyuan looking thoughtful.

    ¡°Do you know which military district Xia Yu is training in?¡±

    ¡°I know. I don¡¯t think you can go and visit him. It¡¯s too far. It will take five hours to get there even by ne.¡± Jun Shiling squatted in front of Xia Wanyuan and checked her injuries.

    ¡°No, I think Xia Yu encountered a problem there. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s being bullied.¡±

    Having led troops for many years, Xia Wanyuan knew very well that no matter where she was, there was always abination of holiness and ugliness.

    In the military district, there were countless people who contributed to the country and were of noble character and integrity. There were also people who did not seek their position. Xia Yu had a stubborn personality and was young. He was the type of person that many veterans often said was ¡°thorn¡±. Xia Wanyuan was very worried that he would get into a conflict with others.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get someone to visit him.¡± Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up from the wheelchair and ced her on the bed. ¡°Do you want to lie down for a while?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± It was time for Xia Wanyuan to take a nap.

    ¡°Then sleep. I¡¯ll go to the study next door.¡± Jun Shiling tidied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nket and was about to turn around to leave when Xia Wanyuan grabbed his sleeve tightly. Jun Shiling turned around in confusion.

    ¡°Apany me.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes.

    She felt that something was wrong with Jun Shiling these two days.

    In the past, when she did not agree to Jun Shiling¡¯s request, Jun Shiling would always say lovey-dovey words and y tricks on her, making her blush from time to time.

    Now that she had agreed to Jun Shiling, Jun Shiling had be especially gentlemanly. Especially since this morning, Jun Shiling was especially serious when he hugged her.

    Xia Wanyuan had also wondered if Jun Shiling didn¡¯t like her anymore, but when she met Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, which seemed to want to burn her alive, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was overthinking.

    ¡°Be good, sleep first. I¡¯lle back and apany you after I¡¯m done.¡± Jun Shiling helplessly stuffed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand back into the nket.

    ¡°Come here and take a nap with me.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted the spot beside her. Ever since she had been locked in the cave for five or six days, she had always felt that she was especially afraid of the cold recently. Jun Shiling¡¯s body was warm andfortable. It was better to hug him than a pillow.

    Jun Shiling paused, a struggle shing across his eyes. He gritted his teeth. ¡°Sleep alone first.¡±

    ¡°Do you not like me anymore?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling froze.

    <i>How could I not like her? I liked her too much.</i>

    In the past, he only dared to tease her because he knew that nothing would happen, because she was not his.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan was nestled in her arms obediently and dependently every day. She even treated himself as a pillow and kept burrowing into his arms. She had no idea how hard he had to endure every day.

    Now, she even suspected that he didn¡¯t like her.

    Jun Shiling gently knocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°What nonsense are you saying?¡±

 Chapter 344 - Dont Dare to Hug

    <h4>Chapter 344: Don¡¯t Dare to Hug</h4>

    ¡°Thene here.¡± Xia Wanyuan lifted a corner of the nket.

    ¡°¡­¡± Helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll go and get theputer. Go to sleep and I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling brought the notebook into the house and ced it aside. Then, he took off his shoes and socks andy beside Xia Wanyuan. He hugged her and patted herfortingly. ¡°Sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan habitually wanted to wrap her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

    ¡°?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance.?<i>Can¡¯t I just hug you?</i>

    Jun Shiling looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes with a helpless smile. ¡°You¡¯re still injured. Don¡¯t get too close to me.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan was used to sleeping and hugging a pillow. She had been apanied by Jun Shiling for the past few days and was already used to it. Hearing Jun Shiling say this, her eyes looked even more aggrieved.

    How could Jun Shiling bear to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression? His heart softened immediately. He took the initiative to step forward and hug Xia Wanyuan tighter. Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist at the right time.

    Slowly, not only did Xia Wanyuan not fall asleep, but her face also became redder. The two of them were close to each other, and Xia Wanyuan finally sensed the change in Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Now do you know why I don¡¯t dare to let you hug me?¡± Jun Shiling endured it ufortably, and his voice was a little hoarse. ¡°I don¡¯t have any resistance towards you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and distanced herself from him. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep by myself.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling did not stop her. Xia Wanyuan fell asleep with a flushed face.

    Jun Shiling reached out and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Sleep. I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡±

    Feeling the warmth from Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heated up, but her heart calmed down. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

    After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling sat up and took theputer beside him.

    A leisurely light was shing on the screen. In the scene transmitted through the video, the troops were ready and aimed at a hidden mountain pass in Liedun.

    Jun Shiling pressed the action button and everyone received the message immediately. Thend crew surrounded the mountain directly. The battlefield was chaotic, and the transmission signal was temporarily cut off. Jun Shiling switched off hisputer.

    Lying down again, Xia Wanyuan was already sound asleep. Jun Shiling carefully nted a kiss on her forehead and watched her quietly.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The news of Xia Wanyuan being in Linxi City was blocked by Jun Shiling, but the news that Xia Wanyuan had not gone to the production team to film quickly spread.

    Even if the best doctors nursed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg every day, it would not heal in a day or two. Hence, Xia Wanyuan asked Li Heng for leave.

    Li Heng could only film Yan Ci¡¯s scenes first. The production team was filming at the film studio base. There were many peopleing and going, and Yan Ci¡¯s fans often came to visit. Only Yan Ci was filming alone.

    Slowly, everyone learned that the female lead of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was not filming in the production team.

    Everyone was already especially dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci acting together, especially the many female fans of Yan Ci.

    They remembered clearly that Xia Wanyuan had stuck to Yan Ci to hype things up. Now, everyone was furious to see their idol working so hard to film, but Xia Wanyuan was nowhere to be seen.

 Chapter 345 - The Princess Painting Stunning the World

    <h4>Chapter 345: The Princess¡¯ Painting Stunning the World</h4>

    [ I still have the same opinion. Can¡¯t we change the female lead? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t this too unprofessional? If anyone else could film with Yan Ci, they would probably be waiting there every morning. This Xia Wanyuan is amazing. She actually stood the production team up. ]

    [ What a big attitude. Everyone has joined the production team, but only she¡¯s special. ]

    [ How annoying. I don¡¯t want Yan Ci to film with her. There¡¯s something wrong with this person¡¯s professionalism. ]

    Fortunately, only most of Yan Ci¡¯s girl fans were paying attention to the production team. After all, the drama had not been filmed. Most of the audience did not have the patience to pay attention to the drama that had not finished filming.

    However, a piece of news that imed to be from the crew of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    The staff said that he was the production assistant for the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. He revealed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s temper was especially bad. She had not entered the production team for such a long time because she had wanted to film some intimate scenes with Yan Ci when she and Yan Ci were taking the publicity photos. Yan Ci had rejected her, so she was unwilling toe to the production team to film and left the male lead alone.

    He also released a few photos. In the photos, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a cheongsam and looking at Yan Ci flirtatiously. Her eyes were filled with love and she wanted to speak, but Yan Ci had a cold expression on his face, looking like he did not want anyone to get close to him.

    Girl fans had always been explosive in the entertainment industry. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan was a habitual criminal who covetedon Yan Ci. Now, everyone couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and ran to the production team to question them. Why was it that after the production team started work, the female lead could not go?

    The inte was abuzz. Even fans who went to the film studio to visit pulled up banners to question the production team.

    Everyone united and swore to seek justice for Yan Ci and to let the production team treat their brother fairly.

    Li Heng usually invited actors who did not have much poprity. When had he ever encountered such a scene? His head hurt.

    ¡°Tell me, how can these fans imagine things for their idol?! Yan Ci is already such a big Best Actor. Who dares to bully him?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t notice themotion online. After her leg was injured, she had nothing to do at home and began to practice painting.

    Many second dimension painters, because they liked Xia Wanyuan to act as the Heavenly Spirit Princess, drew many hand-draws, illustrations, and all sorts of creative works for the Heavenly Spirit Princess. Their imagination was so big that even Xia Wanyuan was surprised.

    Xia Wanyuan had received an orthodox education in ink painting in her previous life. Suddenly seeing everyone draw so many new forms for her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands itched.

    Xia Wanyuan had an excellent foundation in painting. The ancient paint was not as rich as it was now, so she needed to be more sensitive to color.

    Xia Wanyuan had practiced for two days and had already grasped the basic principles. Then, she drew a painting of a Heavenly Spirit Princess in pce attire swinging on a swing, and carefully applied the color.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look. After coloring it, it looked very bright. It was different from the ink painting she had written and had its own interest.

    Hence, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount, which had been silent for a long time after sending thirty tutorial videos at once, sent another post.

    Everyone received the notification and prepared brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Then, they clicked on it and saw a colorful and gorgeous ancient beauty appear in Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount.

    [??????]

    [ Has his ount been hacked?? What¡¯s going on? Is Master a fanboy? ]

    [ This must be the Heavenly Spirit Princess that was drawn, right? She¡¯s so beautiful. A master is a master. She looks so good even when she¡¯s painting. I¡¯m dead for this color application. ]

    [ No way. An ink master came to draw ink?? And draw a celebrity?? That¡¯s too degrading. ]

    [ Is there something wrong with the person in front? They¡¯re all paintings, yet they¡¯re divided into high and low? ]

    Xia Wanyuan had also seen thatment. She felt that it was strange.?<i>Why did painting have a lower grade?</i>?Hence, she specially replied, ¡°Art doesn¡¯t differentiate between high and low. It¡¯s good if you like it.¡±

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Yuan Wanxia was a mysterious and respected master. When he said this, it triggered many reposts from many ounts and everyone agreed.

    After all, in the art world, there were situations where they looked down on each other. Those who drew country paintings despised the low-end painter, and those who drew ink paintings despised the old-fashioned painting.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s words resonated with everyone. Everyone should just do their own things. Why were there so many noble and lowly people?

    The illustration drawn by Yuan Wanxia used the extreme in color and was vivid. Furthermore, because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting style had an extremely deep sense of historical sediment,

    It was as if the person in this painting had lived on it. Many fans who liked Xia Wanyuan praised her for her beauty. Some second dimension painters felt ashamed of their inferiority and followed Yuan Wanxia, wanting to learn more from the master.

    At the same time, the overseas ount ¡°Wanxia _ yuan¡± updated this picture.

    The ink painting of the calligraphy did not have much of an international impact. Although China¡¯s culture was brilliant, due to the cultural gap, very few people outside could understand its beauty.

    However, when it came to painting, it was easy to understand. Everyone in the world had the same aesthetic standards.

    The moment this beauty picture was put on, it was reposted by many people. In just a day, it had been reposted more than 500,000 times.

    Under the ount ¡°Wanxia _ yuan¡±, there were praises from various countries andnguages.

    After everyone was amazed by how good this painting was, they began to ask who the beauty in the painting was. Aizen who climbed over the wall released some scenes from the television drama and introduced this drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± to everyone.

    Hence, ¡°The Long Bad¡± became popr overseas.

    Countless television dramas that wanted to open up the overseas market had stopped because of cultural barriers. ¡°The Long Bad¡± was a martial arts film that had never thought of having any results overseas.

    However, after repeated reposts by this painting, ¡°The Long Bad¡± weed its second spring worldwide.

    The ount ¡°Wanxia _ Jade¡± had gained a million fans overseas because of this painting.

    In China, everyone¡¯s evaluation of Yuan Wanxia was ¡°Follow the trend¡±.

    After all, in everyone¡¯s eyes, Yuan Wanxia was a white-haired old man. When they thought that an old man was actually willing to follow the trend of young people, everyone¡¯s love for Yuan Wanxia increased.

    Even the topic ¡°Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s illustration¡± was trending on Weibo.

    Everyone already had an extremely high reverence for such a master with extremely exquisite skills. When they looked again, they saw that the master was actually so down-to-earth and even followed the trend closely. They were especially impressed by Yuan Wanxia.

    Hence, on Weibo, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s fans increased to 2 million after what had happened.

    Xiao Bao had been very unhappy recently.

 Chapter 346 - Double Standard Master Jun

    <h4>Chapter 346: Double Standard Master Jun</h4>

    Xiao Bao¡¯s attempt to hug Xia Wanyuan had failed again. He looked angrily at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re too much!!! Why don¡¯t you let me hug Mommy?!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a wound on her leg. Don¡¯t touch it and hurt her.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the little dumpling mercilessly, then picked him up and sat him on hisp.

    Xiao Bao twisted his body. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to hug me. You don¡¯t even smell good. I want Mommy.¡±

    However, Xiao Bao¡¯s struggles were useless in Jun Shiling¡¯s steel-like arm. Xiao Bao had clearly noticed it too, so he stopped struggling and sat on Jun Shiling¡¯sp, looking at Xia Wanyuan pitifully.

    ¡°Mommy, please hug me¡­¡±

    Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s pitiful look, Xia Wanyuanughed. She reached out to pinch Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby little face and reached out her arm to him.

    ¡°What are you hugging? Sit properly and wait for your health to recover.¡±

    Xiao Bao was about to run into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms when he heard Jun Shiling¡¯s devilish voice behind him.

    ¡°Hmph! Daddy, you have double standards! You even hugged Mommy this morning! I saw it! You even kissed her!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outstretched arm paused. For a moment, she was not sure if she should be surprised by Xiao Bao¡¯s strong vocabry. Did he even know the word ¡®double standard¡¯? Or should she p her forehead, for Xiao Bao to actually see an inappropriate scene for children.

    Jun Shiling nced at his son calmly, and Xiao Bao¡¯s arrogance disappeared.

    ¡°Come here, I¡¯ll hug you too.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to Xiao Bao, who carefully crawled into her arms.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xiao Bao kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek, then looked at Jun Shiling provocatively. ¡°We¡¯re even.¡±

    Jun Shiling:?<i>Sooner orter, I will have to give up quality education.</i>

    Although Xiao Bao was mischievous, he was very sensible. Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was injured, he stayed in her arms for a while beforeing out.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to study,¡± Jun Shiling reminded Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xiao Bao replied obediently, then turned to remind Xia Wanyuan, ¡°Mommy, you have to recuperate well. Only then can you give me a little sister early.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously looked at Jun.

    The nanny brought Xiao Bao to the study room, where a specialized teacher was waiting.

    ¡°I¡¯m going upstairs.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling, who walked over and picked her up.

    Xia Wanyuan found Jun Shiling¡¯s serious and careful expression funny.

    Back then, he had teased her all sorts of times. Now, he knew that he did not dare to tease her anymore.

    After cing Xia Wanyuan on the bed, Jun Shiling was about to leave when Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around his neck.

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    <i>Here ites again.</i>?A helpless smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Over the past two days, Xia Wanyuan had relied on the fact that her leg was injured. It was as if she wanted to get back at him for teasing her until her face was red. She would tease him whenever she wanted.

    However, she had a wound on her leg, so Jun Shiling did not dare to do anything to her and could only let her do whatever she wanted.

    ¡°Where are you going, CEO Jun?¡±

    ¡°Going to the Zheng family.¡±

    <i>Zheng family?</i>?Xia Wanyuan remembered that Zheng Fei was from the Zheng family.

    As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was thinking, Jun Shiling spoke first. ¡°The Zheng family is getting restless next year. I¡¯ll be back after a trip. Don¡¯t mention that woman anymore. I¡¯ve never cared about her.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t mention it. You brought it up yourself.¡±

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was indulgent as he kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead. ¡°Be good and sleep. I¡¯ll be back tonight.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan let go of Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling tucked Xia Wanyuan in and turned to leave.

    At the entrance of the Zheng family, Jun Shiling finally arrived. The servant hurriedly went to inform him.

    Bo Xiao, who had returned to China, followed Jun Shiling into the hall of the Zheng family.

    The originally lively hall fell silent when the cold figure appeared at the door.

    Jun Shiling nced around calmly. The people in the hall felt as if they had been seen through, and a chill arose in their hearts.

 Chapter 347 - Someone Will Always be Courting Death

    <h4>Chapter 347: Someone Will Always be Courting Death</h4>

    ¡°Brother Shiling, you¡¯re here!¡±

    Zheng Fei¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the beautiful Jun Shiling.

    Zheng Fei, who had dressed up meticulously, floated in front of Jun Shiling like a butterfly.

    ¡°Commissioner Zheng¡¯s daughter, you¡¯re really well-mannered.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice sounded. He stared ahead and did not look at Zheng Fei.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s unhappy gaze, Zheng Weiye immediately scolded Zheng Fei. ¡°Feifei, stand down.¡±

    ¡°Brother Shiling.¡± Zheng Fei¡¯s aggrieved voice sounded, and tears welled up in her eyes.

    That time when Jun Shiling sent her to the police station, she took quite a while toe out.

    She had been pampered wherever she went since she was young and had never suffered such grievances. However, her mother kept telling her how outstanding Jun Shiling was and even said that she had already checked that Jun Shiling was not married at all, so she could chase after him without worry. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling was so unromantic?

    ¡°My Jun family¡¯s generation is a single child. We don¡¯t have any younger sisters. Commissioner Zheng, no matter how busy you are usually, don¡¯t dy your children¡¯s education.¡±

    Everyone present could understand the meaning in Jun Shiling¡¯s words. The people from Zheng Fei¡¯s faction could not help but feel embarrassed, but the people from the other branches wereughing at Zheng Fei in their hearts. Sensing everyone¡¯s mocking gazes, Zheng Fei lost her face and ran out of the hall while sobbing.

    Jun Shiling walked forward and naturally sat at the main seat in the hall.

    Some juniors of the Zheng family were shocked to see Jun Shiling sitting in the middle.

    <i>He was just a rich businessman. Where did he get the confidence to sit on the throne in front of so many high officials?</i>

    ¡°Hello, CEO Jun. My name is Zheng Yun. I¡¯ve long heard of your great name, CEO Jun. I¡¯ve always heard that you¡¯re an outstanding talent among young people. Seeing you today, I see that it¡¯s true. My sister is insensible, but CEO Jun, you¡¯re a few years older than her. There¡¯s no need to bicker with her.¡±

    Zheng Yun was the most impatient person in the Zheng family¡¯s younger generation. He was furious when he saw his usually pampered little sister being humiliated in public by Jun Shiling.

    Children like them who had grown up in the whirlpool of power did not think that rich businessmen were scary at all.

    What Zheng Yun said to Jun Shiling seemed to be apliment, but in fact, he was saying, ¡°You¡¯re not much older than Zheng Fei, but you¡¯re arguing with her in public. It¡¯s really shameless.¡±

    Everyone present, including the younger generation, had grown up in the vortex of power. How could they not understand what Zheng Yun meant?

    ¡°Yun¡¯er! What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Zheng Weiye was the head of the family after all. Although he had not figured out Jun Shiling¡¯s background, Jun Shiling was not someone the younger generation of the Zheng family could tolerate.

    The father and son of the Zheng family echoed each other, but Jun Shiling did not say a word. He only drank a mouthful of tea quietly.

    Zheng Weiye looked at him for a long time but could not tell what Jun Shiling was thinking.

    ¡°CEO Jun?¡± Zheng Weiye could not help but ask.

    ¡°The tea is not bad.¡± After a while, Jun Shiling suddenly said something baffling.

    Then, he stood up and left.

    Everyone in the Zheng family was stunned.?<i>What was going on?! What did Jun Shiling mean?</i>

    Jun Shiling, who was striding out, already knew the situation of the Zheng family.

    It seemed that he had still overestimated the Zheng family. Someone who had just stepped into the power center and did not know his own worth was not worth himing here personally.

    However, he had just seen a useful talent.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, get someone to contact the person in the corner who was wearing a T-shirt just now.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    When Zheng Yun saw Jun Shiling¡¯s arrogant look, he almost rolled up his sleeves and chased after him. It was Zheng Weiye who scolded him.

    ¡°F*ck, you just have a few dors. When the timees, I¡¯ll find an excuse to seal a few properties for you. Let¡¯s see how arrogant you can be.¡±

    Zheng Yun, who was filled with anger, walked into the flickering private room where many people were gathered. His friends were already waiting inside.

    ¡°Hey, who dares to make our Little Master Zheng angry?¡±

    ¡°Annoying. Go away.¡± Zheng Yun waved his hand.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. Young Master Zheng, I¡¯ll find you a few beauties to liven things up.¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s boring.¡± His friends often found beautiful female celebrities from the entertainment industry to apany them.

    At first, it was quite novel, butter on, it felt meaningless.

    ¡°Don¡¯t. I guarantee the quality is good this time. I¡¯ve already gotten someone to do it. I¡¯ll send you in this Saturday. Look at the video.¡±

    Zheng Yun took the video and his eyes lit up. This cold and aloof flower was his favorite. ¡°Not bad this time. Leave the promotion to me.¡±

 Chapter 348 - Youre Good, Youre Good too

    <h4>Chapter 348: You¡¯re Good, You¡¯re Good too</h4>

    Zheng Yun held the phone and looked at it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the woman on it was good-looking.

    ¡°Where did you get this?¡±

    When his friend saw Zheng Yun¡¯s expression, he knew that he was very satisfied. ¡°She¡¯s a little celebrity who has been quite popr in the entertainment industry recently. It was someone who introduced her to me. Tsk, you didn¡¯t see it. She recently acted in a country movie and looked like that in a cheongsam. She¡¯s really attractive.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright. Get this done for me. Leave your matters to me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Young Master Zheng, have a sip.¡±

    ¡°Come!!¡±

    The wine sses clinked, reflecting a scene of lust.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The online dissatisfaction with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unprofessional behavior was still fermenting.

    Tang Yin and Chen Yun studied it for a while and finally decided to hold back.

    In any case, Xia Wanyuan was not really unprofessional. She had a wound on her leg and acted legitimately. After everyone vented their anger, they woulde and rify. Theizens would be more rational.

    After Jun Shiling left the Zheng family¡¯s house, he originally wanted to return to the manor directly, but he had not been to thepany for more than a week. Although Lin Jing had always supported him, there were many important matters that needed Jun Shiling to decide personally.

    Jun Shiling got someone to send a message to the manor and then went to thepany. Once he went, he was surrounded by various managers in the office.

    By the time Jun Shiling signed all the documents on the table, he looked up and saw that the time was already eight o¡¯clock.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned a little cold. Unknowingly, it was already sote. Ever since Xia Wanyuan moved into the manor, he had basically gone home to eat with Xia Wanyuan after work at six o¡¯clock. Jun Shiling hurriedly rushed back to the manor.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam hasn¡¯t eaten today.¡± Uncle Wang finally saw Jun Shiling return and greeted him.

    ¡°Bring the food into the bedroom.¡± Jun Shiling took off his suit and loosened his tie as he walked upstairs.

    He pushed open the door and saw Xia Wanyuan sitting on the bed, watching television.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and wanted to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead, but Xia Wanyuan blocked him.

    ¡°Have you eaten?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    Jun Shiling was stunned. ¡°There was too much to do, so I didn¡¯t have time to eat.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± She knew that Jun Shiling would definitely not eat properly when he was busy. ¡°If you don¡¯t eat, I won¡¯t either. Next time¡­¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already leaned closer to her lips. ¡°You care about me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.?<i>Shouldn¡¯t I be concerned about him?</i>

    Jun Shiling looked extremely happy.

    Even though both his businesses were far beyond those of ordinary people, in the end, he was still a man who had just entered a rtionship. He would be happy for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s little concern and secretly delighted when he sensed her concern for him.

    ¡°Come, let¡¯s eat.¡± Jun Shiling handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan, then picked up some food for her.

    Other than Jun Shiling, no one realized that although Xia Wanyuan ate everything and did not look picky, she had various small preferences.

    She could eat garlic, but she liked the ones in cold dishes and not stir-fried dishes.

    She liked to eat fish. When they made braised fish, she liked to eat the stomach of the fish. When they made steamed fish, she liked to eat the part where the head of the fish and the body of the fish were connected.

    She didn¡¯t like soup, but she liked the especially soft bones that were stewed in the soup.

    ¡­¡­

    Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan pick her favorite dishes seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan watched quietly from the side.

    After a busy day, Jun Shiling looked a little tired. However, his quiet picking of the fish bones under the light had left a deep impression on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re the best.¡±

 Chapter 349 - King

    <h4>Chapter 349: King</h4>

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling looked up with a smile in his eyes. ¡°You only think I¡¯m good now?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head honestly. ¡°I used to think that you were pretty good, but now I feel that you¡¯re better than I thought.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was telling the truth. In fact, many of her little habits were unknown even to her younger siblings who had lived together for many years.

    However, she had only lived with Jun Shiling for two months, but Jun Shiling seemed to know everything about her. Not only did he arrange everything appropriately, but he also pampered her every moment.

    She used to be the princess of a country and enjoyed all the glory and love.

    She was also once themander of the three armies, receiving the embrace of thousands of troops.

    She was once the Eldest Princess who listened to the government and bowed to the world.

    However, Jun Shiling¡¯s care and love were different from others.

    Xia Wanyuan was a person who rarely praised others and never exaggerated. Hence, when she praised someone, it made people especially happy.

    ]Jun Shiling smiled gently and leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan did not stop him. The two of them leaned against each other and exchanged a long and gentle kiss.

    ¡°You¡¯re good too.¡± Jun Shiling took half a step back and ced the bowl and chopsticks back in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Eat quickly. It¡¯s going to get coldter.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and continued eating.

    Xiao Bao finally finished all his homework and was washed clean by the nanny. When he ran in, he saw Xia Wanyuan lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re hugging Mommy secretly again!¡± Xiao Bao had just taken a shower, and his face was as red as a fresh little apple. A bunch of little hair stood on his head.

    ¡°It¡¯s time for you to sleep.¡± Jun Shiling ignored Xiao Bao¡¯s using gaze.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Xiao Bao climbed up from the end of the bed and carefully avoided Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injured leg, then nestled between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling: ¡­

    Because Xia Wanyuan had a leg injury, Jun Shiling didn¡¯t want Xiao Bao to sleep with her. He was afraid that Xiao Bao would kick her wound when he slept at night.

    ¡°Daddy, can¡¯t you sleep in the middle? I promise I¡¯ll sleep obediently. I¡¯m afraid of the little monster. I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy!!¡± Xiao Bao suggested a genius idea.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, then at Xiao Bao, whose eyes were filled with longing. In the end, he agreed.

    The light gradually dimmed, and Xiao Bao curled up on Jun Shiling¡¯s left. His sleep quality was good, so he fell into a deep sleep the moment he touched the pillow, the smell of milk lingering.

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and was not sleepy for a moment. Her fingers unconsciously stroked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    It was only when Jun Shiling¡¯s arm tightened that he finally could not help but turn around and grab Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Did you do it on purpose?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°On purpose?¡±

    ¡°If you didn¡¯t have a leg injury now¡± Worried that he would wake Xiao Bao up, Jun Shiling lowered his voice. He was only halfway through his sentence, but both of them knew what he was going to say next.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped talking. Without looking, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan must be blushing again.

    Jun Shiling snorted lightly. She always flirted with him recklessly and was not responsible after teasing him.

    ¡°I¡¯m tired. Goodnight.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. Jun Shiling had no choice but to let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling. There was an indescribable satisfaction in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart. Soon, he fell asleep, and a beautiful dream enveloped the family hugging on the bed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°King, ourboratory has been removed.¡±

    In the City That Never Sleeps, Jayce reported the situation to the man in the seat fearfully.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Azy voice sounded.

    Jayce immediately knelt on the ground. He was considered the second-inmand, but he had always been treading on thin ice.

    Jayce¡¯s first impression of the man on the high seat was that he was weak. His second impression was that he was clean and elegant. However, after he saw his boss skin Old K alive, he did not dare to speak loudly in front of this man anymore.

    Yes, Old K, who had a notorious reputation back then, was still the Old K with the highest bounty on the wanted website. In fact, he had died ten years ago, at the hands of the child he had raised himself.

    The little boy who had been gentle since he was young and was so elegant that he did not seem like he belonged in this world had killed someone on Old K¡¯s 50th birthday in public.

    And those who were supposed to protect Old K had unknowingly fallen for this child.

    This change that should have shocked the entire underground kingdom was actually smooth without any obstruction. The outsiders didn¡¯t even know that Old K was already dead.

    The outsiders still called this newmander Old K, while Jayce and the rest called him King.

    ¡°Since theboratory is gone, what¡¯s the point of leaving you around?¡± As if he did not care that Jayce was an old man who had followed him for ten years, there was no fluctuation in the man¡¯s tone.

    ¡°King, listen to me. This time, it¡¯s not just Continent F¡¯s alliance. If it was just them, we would have transferred theboratory long ago. This time, there¡¯s also the movement of Zeus.¡±

    Speaking of which, it was strange. This legendary Zeus had disappeared from the world for four years. They had searched for so long but had yet to find any news of him. This time, this person actually sacrificed himself in Continent F.

    ¡°Zeus?¡± Only then did the man¡¯s tone change. There was even a hint of a cold smile.

    ¡°Yes, on the night of the 27th, the Hurricane that Zeus rode passed through many countries and entered China,¡± Jayce replied respectfully.

    ¡°It¡¯s China again. This China is really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Alright, keep your life for now. Go and investigate Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    A beautiful face suddenly appeared on the screen. Jayce was stunned.

    ¡°Are you investigating this woman?¡± Jayce couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡®<i>Did King put in the wrong photo?¡¯</i>

    ¡°Mm,¡± thezy voice replied.

    Jayce¡¯s heart trembled. What kind of identity could make King personally order an investigation?

    <i>Could she be a spy who had infiltrated the higher-ups of the magnesium country? Or was she some unknown drug lord? Or was she a political figure?</i>

    <i>Oh my, it was this person. She is too good-looking, especially her snow-white eyes that looked straight into one¡¯s heart.</i>

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jayce received the order and went to gather all kinds of people.

    However, after he informed almost all the secret agents in the world, he realized that information about this person could be seen everywhere on the Inte.

    An entertainment industry celebrity??

    Jayce was a little confused, but when he wanted to investigate further, he realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s whereabouts in the past few years had been nk outside of public events.

 Chapter 350 - Bo Xiao Saves Xia Yu

    <h4>Chapter 350: Bo Xiao Saves Xia Yu</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    The next morning, when Jun Shiling arrived at the office, he saw Bo Xiao sitting inside waiting for him.

    ¡°Is there any movement?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no movement, but Old K can still maintain hisposure. Theboratory has already been taken care of, but it¡¯s actually so calm.¡± Bo Xiao was holding soy milk in one hand and a bun in the other, stuffing them into his mouth. ¡°But I received news that Old K¡¯s subordinates are investigating Sister-inw. Has the news of your marriage been leaked?¡±

    Upon hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze darkened. ¡°No, there are other reasons. I haven¡¯t thought of them yet.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to secretly keep an eye on Sister-inw¡¯s safety.¡± Bo Xiao threw thest bun into his mouth. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go to the airport. I¡¯m going to the northwest.¡±

    ¡°Northwest?¡± Jun Shiling thought of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. ¡°Go to X military district while you¡¯re at it. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother is training there. Go and see if there¡¯s anything wrong with him.¡±

    ¡°Sister-inw¡¯s younger brother?¡± Bo Xiao recalled the young broadcaster who had arrogantly killed Ruan Nian until he quit the game when he was watching the live broadcast. A smile shed across his fox-like eyes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go and take a look.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the vast northwest desert, there was endless yellow sand. The sunlight shone on the sand, reflecting a golden light. Not far away, a ck dot was moving slowly.

    There was a lot of sand in the northwest that needed patches of sand forest to resist. When the number of people building the forest was insufficient, the military district would send some people to help build the forest after the training mission waspleted.

    It happened to be the turn of this batch of new recruits to help today, so Wang Hui led them for the entire morning.

    Of course, Wang Hui only guided them by the side for a while and it was soon noon.

    ¡°Alright, everyone, you¡¯ve worked hard. Go back and have lunch first.¡± Wang Hui looked at the time and called for the others to get into the car and return to the military base. Only Xia Yu was left behind. ¡°Xia Yu, why did you nt it in this manner? Since it¡¯s done like this, you¡¯re not allowed to eat lunch and water this area!¡±

    Xia Yu looked at therge patch of trees in front of him. He wouldn¡¯t be able to finish watering them untilte at night, and they had training in the afternoon.

    ¡°If you want to water it, do it yourself.¡± Xia Yu threw away the bucket and walked to the side.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you want your graduation certificate?¡± Wang Hui was unhappy when he saw Xia Yu¡¯s resistance and shouted at him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want it anymore.¡±

    ¡°Stop!¡± Seeing that this threat was useless, Wang Hui took a few steps forward and wanted to grab Xia Yu. However, Xia Yu turned around and kicked Wang Hui.

    This kick was filled with grievance and anger from the past few days. Even someone as experienced as Wang Hui felt a fishy smell surge up his chest.

    Wang Hui reacted and pressed Xia Yu to the ground with a punch. ¡°Rascal, I¡¯ll beat you to death today!¡±

    Although Xia Yu did not have muchbat skills, he was young and reckless. After fighting Wang Hui for a long time, the others, who had already left, finally realized that something was wrong. They drove the car back and pulled the two of them away.

    Wang Hui had been in the military for a long time, so the leader naturally believed him more. In addition, no one was present at the scene and no one testified for Xia Yu, so Xia Yu was locked up tight.

    ¡°Pfft, hiss.¡± Wang Hui¡¯s face was swollen from Xia Yu¡¯s p. He shouted at the soldier beside him, ¡°If I don¡¯t kill you this time, you¡¯re not allowed to feed him!¡±

    At that moment, someone came to report. ¡°A leader is here for an inspection in Beijing. The battalionmander wants you to go over.¡±

    <i>Big Leader?</i>

    Wang Hui hurriedly adjusted his clothes and followed her out.

 Chapter 351 - Successfully Saving People

    <h4>Chapter 351: Sessfully Saving People</h4>

    Wang Hui went to the front to take a look. In the living room, the leaders were sitting on both sides. An extremely young and handsome man with a golden star on his clothes was sitting in the middle.

    Wang Hui¡¯s level was not enough for him to sit in the living room, so he stood at the side.

    ¡°I wonder what business you have here?¡± The military leader asked carefully.

    <i>He was actually so young. The younger generation in China was indeed outstanding.</i>

    ¡°My sister-inw has a younger brother who is training at your ce. It¡¯s break time now, right? I want to visit him.¡± Bo Xiao put down the ss of water and looked at the people in the hall.

    ¡°Of course not. What¡¯s his name? We¡¯ll call him over immediately.¡± Knowing that he was not here for an inspection, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.?<i>He just wanted to see a rtive. What was wrong with that?</i>

    ¡°Xia Yu.¡± The moment Bo Xiao said this, everyone in the hall was stunned.

    The fight between Xia Yu and Wang Hui had blown up. Basically, everyone in the military knew about it. He had just been locked up when his backer arrived. This¡­ Everyone looked troubled.

    ¡°Why? Is there a problem?¡± Bo Xiao looked at everyone and knew that something had happened to Xia Yu.

    ¡°No, no. He¡¯s pretty good here. He¡¯s just a young man. He¡¯s arrogant and fought with the instructor. He¡¯s reflecting on himself behind. I¡¯ll bring you over now.¡±

    Wang Hui was stunned when Bo Xiao said that he was here to visit Xia Yu.?<i>Didn¡¯t they say that Xia Yu was a bankrupt rich second-generation heir? Where did such a rtive with strong backinge from?</i>

    Bo Xiao followed behind and nced at the panicking Wang Hui with a smile. Wang Hui felt his hair stand on end.

    The detention room was a small house with only one window on each side. The door was opened.

    The blinding light shone in and Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help but look at the door.

    ¡°You guys go ahead.¡± A young voice sounded at the door. Soon, everyone dispersed.

    Against the light, Xia Yu could not see the person¡¯s face clearly. Slowly, the person walked in.

    ¡°Xia Yu? I¡¯m your brother-inw¡¯s friend. My name is Bo Xiao.¡± The handsome man walked up to him and stretched out his hand. His fox-like eyes raised slightly.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Yu stretched out his hand and shook it. He looked at Bo Xiao¡¯s face and probed, ¡°Are you the beautiful uncle Xiao Bao mentioned?¡±

    ¡°Haha, yes. Your sister was worried about you and asked me toe and take a look. Let¡¯s go out and talk.¡± Xiao Bao did call him Pretty Uncle often. If anyone else said that he was beautiful, Bo Xiao would probably be angry, but Xiao Bao was a child.

    With a golden star on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder, the journey was smooth. Bo Xiao brought Xia Yu to a car parked outside. Bo Xiao took out a pile of medicine from the car and threw it into Xia Yu¡¯s hand. ¡°Wipe it first.¡±

    Xia Yu quietly applied the ointment.

    ¡°What are you thinking? Isn¡¯t it good to be at home? Why are you here to suffer?¡± Bo Xiao suddenly said.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t think much of it.¡± The corners of Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were red, but his colorful face was filled with the arrogance of a youth with an unyielding spirit.

    ¡°Your brother-inw asked me to bring something for you.¡± Bo Xiao grabbed a small box from the back of the car.

    Xia Yu opened it and saw two documents lying inside.

 Chapter 352 - Xia Yus Decision

    <h4>Chapter 352: Xia Yu¡¯s Decision</h4>

    One was a letter of appointment from the Jun Corporation headquarters, and the other was a rmendation letter from the cheetah assault team.

    Everyone in China knew about the cheetahs. This was the code name of the most famous special forces in China. The procedures to enter were ratherplicated. After everyone came out, they were geniuses who could fight one against a hundred.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s rmendation letter was a green channel that allowed Xia Yu to directly participate in the selectionpetition.

    ¡°Your brother-inw asked you to choose one yourself. Actually, it¡¯s quite good to go back. With your sister and brother-inw by your side, who would dare to bully you?¡±

    Looking at Xia Yu¡¯s tender skin and how he looked like he had not suffered much before, Bo Xiao guessed that he would choose to return to the Jun Corporation. ¡°Besides, this rmendation letter doesn¡¯t mean that you can enter the cheetah team. This is only a ce for selection. Whether you can enter or not depends on your ability.¡±

    As Bo Xiao had expected, Xia Yu reached out and picked up the letter of appointment.

    However, Xia Yu tore up the letter of appointment. ¡°I¡¯m going to the cheetah team.¡± Xia Yu looked at Bo Xiao with an unyielding arrogance.

    ¡°Sure, no problem.¡± Bo Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. ¡°The training of the cheetah team is very difficult. If you can¡¯t take it anymore, you can call your brother-inw.¡±

    Bo Xiao didn¡¯t think that Xia Yu could really enter the cheetah squad. After all, it was not an ordinary military district that one couldplete the mission easily.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Yu seemed to have made up his mind. He pointed at the golden star on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely go in. In the future, I¡¯ll definitely have more stars than you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Not only was Bo Xiao not angry at Xia Yu¡¯s provocation, but he alsoughed. ¡°Good luck.¡±

    Knowing that Bo Xiao did not believe him, Xia Yu did not speak further. Bo Xiao immediatelypleted all the necessary procedures and sent him to a special training base.

    Seeing that Xia Yu and Bo Xiao had left, Wang Hui was finally relieved.?<i>It was probably nothing serious.</i>

    Xia Yu did not tell Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling that he had been bullied at the base.

    However, all of this was taken away by the spreading yellow sand, preventing the outside world from seeing anything.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    When Jun Shiling told Xia Wanyuan about Xia Yu¡¯s choice, she did not seem surprised. She only sighed. ¡°He will have to grow up slowly.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet were slowly getting better after being smashed by all sorts of special medicine. Now, she could already walk two steps on her own. Jun Shiling supported her from the side.

    ¡°What does the cheetah team do? What do they train?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little curious. Xia Wanyuan knew that this was simr to the ancient secret guards, but the modern world should be more advanced, right?

    Jun Shiling began to exin the situation of the cheetah team to Xia Wanyuan, exining the details of the training in detail.

    However, as he spoke, Jun Shiling realized that there was something wrong with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression.

    ¡°Logically speaking, even if outsiders obtained the training process for such confidential information, they wouldn¡¯t be as proficient as you. Jun Shiling, could it be that you¡¯ve trained in the cheetah team before?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling suspiciously.

 Chapter 353 Jun Shilings Malice

    353 Jun Shiling''s Malice

    "What''s wrong?" Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    "Sister-inw,e over quickly. He''s at 89 Li Xin Road. I can''t persuade him." Bo Xiao seemed to be very anxious.

    "What happened?" Xia Wanyuan asked, but Bo Xiao hung up the phone.

    ....

    Xia Wanyuan could only call Shen Qian and change the meeting time. Then she drove to the address Bo Xiao had given her.

    An hourter, the car stopped in front of a very strict building in the suburbs. A tight iron fence surrounded the entire building.

    Xia Wanyuan saw the car Jun Shiling had taken in the morning and was parked in the courtyard. The people Bo Xiao had left behind saw Xia Wanyuaning and brought her in.

    ¡ª¡ª

    "Jun Shiling, what do you mean?" Zheng Yun looked at Jun Shiling, who was standing in front of him like an Asura, with fear in his eyes.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, before he could get someone to investigate Xia Wanyuan, a group of people suddenly barged in and took him away.

    When he opened his eyes again, he was already brought to this prison-like ce and Jun Shiling, who looked like an Asura.

    "Jun Shiling, let me tell you. If you dare to touch a single hair of mine, my father will definitely not let you off!"

    "Zheng family?" Jun Shiling looked at Zheng Yun with cold eyes. "You should be d that she''s fine. Otherwise, your entire Zheng family would have to die with her."

    Outside the door, Xia Wanyuan was led throughyers of checkpoints.

    "Sister-inw, you''re finally here." Bo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Wanyuan walk over.

    "What happened?" Xia Wanyuan stepped forward.

    "It''s about the Zheng family. Sister-inw, Zheng Yun can''t be touched for the time being. Persuade Jun Shiling."

    Bo Xiao had just returned from the northwest and had just gotten off the airport when he rushed over.

    After Xia Wanyuan left the Zheng family''s territory safely, the guards reported the matter to Jun Shiling as usual.

    Jun Shiling had only instructed him to lock Zheng Yun in, but who would have thought that the guards would find arge number of tools and drugs that Zheng Yun usually used to y with women in his room?

    Even the experienced Bo Xiao felt that Zheng Yun was too filthy. He was simply prepared to y Xia Wanyuan to death.

    The guards were extremely loyal to Jun Shiling, so they directly delivered a pile of photos to him. Jun Shiling was really angry now and went to Prison Seven himself. Lin Jing could not stop him even if he wanted to.

    Bo Xiao also felt that Zheng Yun deserved to die, but that brat was from the Zheng family after all. Bo Xiao was afraid that Jun Shiling would kill him on impulse. There were many things happening in Beijing now. If this matter blew up, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.

    Bo Xiao pointed at the innermost room and Xia Wanyuan slowly walked over.

    When she pushed open the door, she saw Jun Shiling standing in front of Zheng Yun in the dark room. He had a dark and murderous aura that she had never seen before.

    A foot stepped on Zheng Yun''s arm. Zheng Yun was lying on the ground and crying out in pain.

    Hearing the door open, Jun Shiling turned around. The moment he saw Xia Wanyuan, a hint of panic shed across his eyes, and he hid his left hand.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had long seen that Jun Shiling was holding a small gun in his left hand.

    "Why are you here?" The anger in Jun Shiling''s eyes had yet to dissipate. He smiled at Xia Wanyuan, then let go of Zheng Yun''s foot and stuffed the gun into his sleeve before walking towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling''s heart sank for a moment. He had never wanted Xia Wanyuan to see his other self because he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would think that he was not open enough, yet he saw her now.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak and went out the door. Jun Shiling hurriedly followed.

 Chapter 354 - Young Master Jun and Princess Finally!!

    <h4>Chapter 354: Young Master Jun and Princess Finally!!</h4>

    Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan was smart, but he did not expect her to guess it so quickly. ¡°I stayed for a while.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s curious expression, Jun Shiling continued, ¡°I just took over the Jun Corporation four years ago. When I was fifteen, I had already finished all the sses that all the heirs of the Jun Corporation should learn. For six years, Grandpa did not restrict me, so I tried many things myself. I stayed in the cheetah team for a year or two back then, so I know more about the situation there.¡±

    ¡°What about the rest of the time?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that with Jun Shiling¡¯s character, he would definitely not spend those years in vain.

    There was a smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He picked her up by the waist and ced her on the nket. ¡°Are you a curious baby? You have so many questions.¡±

    ¡°If it¡¯s not convenient for you to say it, then forget it.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that everyone had secrets, so she did not force it. Just like how she had not told Jun Shiling about her being from another world.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling had never thought of hiding anything from Xia Wanyuan, but there were some things that he could bear himself. ¡°It¡¯s just that some things are very dangerous. I don¡¯t want you to worry.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling had always had his own principles when it came to things, so Xia Wanyuan did not probe further.

    She still found the fact that Jun Shiling was once a member of the cheetah team very novel. ¡°No wonder you knew how to fightst time. What did you learn? Teach me too?¡±

    Jun Shiling had yet to remove Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand from her back when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. He simply hugged her tightly and leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, his gaze deep. ¡°Your feet are healed? You still want to learnbat?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m almost done. I¡¯ll be able to go to the production team to film in two more days,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she moved her legs.

    Jun Shiling was already half covered by Xia Wanyuan. When Xia Wanyuan stretched out her leg, she identally touched Jun Shiling¡¯s leg. Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze darkened.

    ¡°Really? Let me check.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was abnormally calm. He lifted the nket, let Xia Wanyuan in, and went in himself.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡±

    Because Xia Wanyuan had a leg injury, Jun Shiling had beening back to eat lunch with her these few days. It was almost two in the afternoon, and it was time for Jun Shiling to go to work.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going. Didn¡¯t you say that your leg is healed? Let me take a look.¡± Jun Shiling covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smooth leg with his hand. The boiling heat seeped out of Jun Shiling¡¯s palm, and only then did Xia Wanyuan realize that something was wrong.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to look. I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan shrank back, but Jun Shiling pulled her back. The two of them were even closer than before.

    ¡°Haven¡¯t you been pretty good at snuggling into my arms recently? You said you feel wronged when I don¡¯t hug you. Why aren¡¯t you hugging me anymore?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s breath sprayed into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, dying it red.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand kept moving, causing Xia Wanyuan to have goosebumps.

    ]¡±I was just ying with you.¡± During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been using her injury to seduce Jun Shiling intentionally or unintentionally. She wanted to get back at him for teasing her until her face was red, but she did not expect it to be true.

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was already extremely hoarse. He pulled Xia Wanyuan closer to him. Xia Wanyuan sensed the abnormality in Jun Shiling and instantly shrank.

    ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m ying around?¡± Jun Shiling whispered in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°You¡¯ve been torturing me like this every day recently.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she was about to be heated up and could not help but struggle. The two of them were already very close. With Xia Wanyuan struggling, she could feel Jun Shiling¡¯s even more intense change.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear grew heavier. ¡°You really don¡¯t want to let me go.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to retort, but before she could finish speaking, she was sealed by Jun Shiling. The familiar pine fragrance enveloped her entire body.

    Jun Shiling carried a thousand mountains of aura, suppressing Xia Wanyuan until she could not breathe, but his actions were very gentle.

    The temperature rose rapidly. Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms,pletely losing her train of thought.

    It had been too long, so long that Xia Wanyuan was about to suffocate. Xia Wanyuan reached out to push Jun Shiling before he left her mouth.

    In the past, Jun Shiling would always retreatafter being impulsive, but today, Xia Wanyuan clearly felt that Jun Shiling had no intention of retreating.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling, whose eyes were almost red.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± A clear voice sounded. Even Xia Wanyuan could not imagine how her voice had be like this.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here.¡± Jun Shiling did not show it on his face at all. He even smiled at Xia Wanyuan. However, being hit and being pressed against each other reminded Xia Wanyuan that Jun Shiling was on the verge of losing control.

    The shockingly high temperature in the nket made Xia Wanyuan extremely hot. She was sweating. ¡°It¡¯s so hot.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help butin.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on Xia Wanyuan tightened. ¡°Where is it hot?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand had unknowingly torn off half of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes. The sight of everything that was extremely curvaceous even while lying in front of him made the fire in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart burn even brighter.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to block it, but inadvertently revealed an evenrger patch of pink and white.

    ¡°Is it hot here?¡± Jun Shiling reached into her shirt and touched the smoothness of paper.

    ¡°Or here?¡± His hand slowly moved up. It was soft like a dream in the clouds.

    ¡°Speak, where is it hot?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s hands did not stop moving, but he insisted on asking.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she was going to melt in the next second.

    ¡°It¡¯s not hot anymore, it¡¯s not hot anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice trembled from Jun Shiling¡¯s actions, but Jun Shiling did not give in at all. He grabbed her even more fiercely than before and pressed down on her.

    This time, Jun Shiling was no longer satisfied with a single spot. Instead, he imprinted his marks on every part of Xia Wanyuan like he was worshipping her.

    After some time, Jun Shiling¡¯s hand gradually moved down.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had almost lost consciousness, felt a chill. She hurriedly reached out to stop Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m not ready yet.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand seemed to have used all his strength to stop moving downwards. ¡°I know. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    He had never really nned to do anything to Xia Wanyuan. Her leg injury had not fully recovered.

    It was just that he really did not have much resistance to her. He could not help it for a moment, so he lost control. Since Xia Wanyuan was not ready, he did not want to continue.

    After calming down with Xia Wanyuan in his arms for a long time, Jun Shiling still felt the impulse in his heart lingering for a long time.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± After a while, Jun Shiling finally spoke and was about to get up.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t I help you?¡±

 Chapter 355 - Jun Shiling, Youre Too Much

    <h4>Chapter 355: Jun Shiling, You¡¯re Too Much</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mosquito-like voice sounded, sessfully stopping Jun Shiling from lifting the nket.

    ¡°Say that again?¡± Jun Shiling hugged her again, and his body tensed up due to the extreme restraint.

    ¡°Won¡¯t you feel ufortable?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not dare to look at Jun Shiling, so she simply buried herself in his arms and asked.

    The veins on Jun Shiling¡¯s arms were bulging, and his face was covered in sweat. Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t bear for her to suffer a little, but how could she not feel sorry for Jun Shiling?

    ¡°You said it yourself.¡± Jun Shiling felt like his body was about to explode.

    ¡°Teach me,¡± Xia Wanyuan whispered into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear, sessfully triggering Jun Shiling¡¯s bottom line.

    With a flip, he covered her below and Jun Shiling¡¯s kiss covered the sky and earth.

    Xia Wanyuan endured it passively. Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and ced it on his side.

    After some time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trembling voice finally came from the nket. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re too much.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who had finally drunk some meat soup, chuckled. ¡°How did I go overboard?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that her hands were numb.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling finally let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and kissed her on the brow. ¡°I love you.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re too much. I don¡¯t believe you anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling away, red at him, and walked into the bathroom.

    <i>He said that it would be done soon, it would be done very soon. In the end!</i>

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embarrassment, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragrance lingered around him.

    Jun Shiling thought about it.?<i>The meat soup was already so delicious. What would it be like to eat meat?</i>

    Jun Shiling had bullied her too much. When the arrow was nocked, he had coaxed Xia Wanyuan to say many things that made her blush. The direct result was¡­

    Xia Wanyuan ignored Jun Shiling for the entire afternoon.

    Lin Jing called Jun Shiling for the third time. Looking at the group of executives who were hesitant to speak, Lin Jing felt very helpless.

    <i>Why am I always the one disturbing my boss?</i>

    Everyone:?<i>Because only you have an annual sry of ten million dors!</i>

    Fortunately, Jun Shiling finally picked up.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go over now. Ask them to wait in the meeting room,¡± Jun Shiling instructed very simply and hung up the phone.

    Everyone looked at each other.?<i>It¡¯s over!</i>

    However, to their surprise, Jun Shiling was exceptionally easygoing today. Furthermore, there was a hint of joy in his eyes. This was rare on Jun Shiling.

    The executives, who had been trembling in fear because Jun Shiling had hung up the phone, finally felt that they had saved their lives.

    Before Jun Shiling left, he wanted to kiss Xia Wanyuan before leaving, but Xia Wanyuan directly covered her face to prevent Jun Shiling from approaching. It was only when Lin Jing called that Jun Shiling hurriedly hung up the phone.

    Jun Shiling had been dyed in the manor for the entire afternoon and was busy in thepany untilte at night.

    However, at 6 pm, Jun Shiling called Xia Wanyuan on time and reminded her to have dinner.

    Although she said that she was ignoring Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was not a person who would be unreasonable. The phone rang three times, and Xia Wanyuan still picked up the phone.

    ¡°I have a meeting tonight and will probably be back veryte. Eat more. You¡¯re too skinny.¡±

    ¡°How am I thin?¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously retorted. She had been cooped up at home recently, and she felt that she had gained weight recently.

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯re not thin. You¡¯re still fat where you should be.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words came from the phone.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I¡¯m hanging up. Why are you so indecent?¡± The image that Xia Wanyuan had barely suppressed rushed into her mind under Jun Shiling¡¯s deliberate reminder.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong.¡± Seeing that he had made her anxious, Jun Shiling hurriedly stopped talking. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten the chef to make your favorite dishes. In the preservation box in the bedroom, there¡¯s your favorite drink. On the table are a few books I¡¯ve read. If you¡¯re bored, read them first and wait for me toe back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s originally embarrassed heart gradually calmed down under Jun Shiling¡¯s meticulous and gentle exhortation. ¡°Got it. Go and do your work.¡±

    ¡°Mm, good girl.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the ss door. The executives, who had been sticking their heads out to look at Jun Shiling, immediately retracted their heads and sat upright.

    <i>We did not see anything!</i>

    ¡°Okay, let the meeting continue.¡± Jun Shiling hung up the phone and sat in the meeting room again. His expression was cold, and the stars in his eyes flickered.

    Everyone:?<i>The gentle President Jun I saw just now must be an illusion.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs could already walk slowly. Tang Yin had received a cooperation request on promoting activities. It was a very good brand. The coborator requested to see the artistes first.

    Tang Yin asked for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion. Xia Wanyuan felt that there was no problem, so Chen Yun went to the manor to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    The two of them were one of the few people who knew that Xia Wanyuan was injured in Linxi City. However, after Xia Wanyuan returned to Beijing, she had been staying in the manor. Although Chen Yun and the rest were worried about Xia Wanyuan, it was not convenient for them to visit her directly. Now that they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rosy face, the two of them were finally relieved.

    ¡°Which publicity event is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to understand it first.

    ¡°It¡¯s a publicity campaign by Baili Mall. The conditions they proposed are pretty good. It¡¯s also very helpful to increase your fame on the Inte.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the information of this mall and the terms of cooperation they had proposed. She felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she put it aside.

    ¡°Hey, Wanyuan, aren¡¯t you hot? Why are you wearing so thick today?¡± Even though the car was air-conditioned, it was already nearing summer. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a high-cored long-sleeved shirt and a pair of ankle-length pants.

    Xia Wanyuan paused. ¡°No, I¡¯m injured. I¡¯ve been feeling very cold recently.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Tang Yin did not suspect anything.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled down her sleeves again to cover the red marks on her body.

    When they arrived at the mall, the other party was waiting by the roadside.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Li.¡± Tang Yin stepped forward. ¡°This is our Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh, hello, Miss Xia. You¡¯re indeed an outstanding beauty.¡± Li Fei, who was addressed as CEO Li, knew that he had found the right person when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance. ¡°Here¡¯s the thing. We have to take a makeup photo first. Is that okay?¡±

    Whether it was endorsement or filming a drama, they needed to audition in advance. There was no problem with that. After receiving permission, Li Fei looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°We have our own studio, which is quite far from here. Why don¡¯t we let Ms. Xia go with the photographer and have the manager stay here to discuss the contract?¡±

 Chapter 356 - The Princess Was Kidnapped

    <h4>Chapter 356: The Princess Was Kidnapped</h4>

    ¡°No, our Wanyuan was injured a while ago. She needs someone to take care of her.¡± Chen Yun rejected Li Fei¡¯s suggestion immediately.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Brother Chen, you and Tang Yin can discuss the contract here. I¡¯ll go over alone.¡± Before Li Fei could speak, Xia Wanyuan looked at Chen Yunfortingly.

    Since Xia Wanyuan had said it, Chen Yun and Tang Yin no longer hesitated.

    ¡°Come, Miss Xia, follow them.¡± Li Fei called a youngdy and asked her to take Xia Wanyuan to the car sent by the mall.

    This youngdy looked so young that it was easy for one to let down their guard.

    Where¡¯s the studio?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked from the backseat.

    ¡°We¡¯ll be there soon. Please wait for a while. If you¡¯re thirsty, there are drinks in front of you. They¡¯re all clean,¡± the little girl replied crisply.

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out and took the drink in front of her. She unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

    In the rearview mirror, the chauffeur could not help but sigh in relief when he saw Xia Wanyuan drink.

    ¡°I¡¯m a little sleepy. Call me when you get there.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned and looked extremely tired. She leaned back on the chair and quickly fell asleep.

    ¡°Miss Xia? Miss Xia?¡± The youngdy turned around and called out a few times. Seeing that there was no reaction, she gave the chauffeur a look. The chauffeur immediately changed direction and drove in another direction.

    Half an hourter, the car finally stopped in front of a private vi. That young and astringent little girl actually pressed the doorbell of the vi very skillfully.

    Soon, Zheng Yun appeared at the door. In the past, he had always been waiting in the vi for others to send her in. However, in the past few days, he had taken the time to watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°The Long Bad¡± and was about to be charmed to death by the way she dressed in pce attire in the drama.

    When he heard the doorbell ring, he could not wait to personally go out and wee her.

    ¡°Young Master Zheng, she¡¯s here.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice was restrained, making her look especially capable.

    ¡°Okay, let me take a look.¡± Zheng Yun pulled open the car door and saw the person who should have been unconscious in the car sitting calmly, as if she was waiting for him.

    The moment Zheng Yun saw Xia Wanyuan, his eyes widened. She looked much better in person than in television dramas. Zheng Yun felt that it was not enough to promote that friend by two levels. Only by promoting him three levels could he be worthy of such a peerless beauty.

    ¡°Since you¡¯re awake, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I¡¯m from the Zheng family in Beijing. If you follow me, I¡¯ll guarantee you glory, splendor, and wealth.¡± As Zheng Yun spoke, he went to pull Xia Wanyuan.

    However, Xia Wanyuan ignored his outstretched hand, her eyes filled with disappointment.

    She had always suspected the earthquake in Lin Xi City. Li Fei¡¯s actions were very suspicious just now, so she beat him at his own game. She wanted to see who was trying to harm her behind the scenes, but she didn¡¯t expect to be dragged to this so-called Young Master Zheng.

    The earthquake back then was a real fatal one. This Young Master Zheng was probably lustful. The two batches were probably not the same.

    Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and looked at Zheng Yun. ¡°Glory, splendor and wealth?¡±

    ¡°Yes, you can ask around. You¡¯ll know who I am from the Beijing Zheng family.¡±

    ¡°No need,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and was about to leave.

    How could Zheng Yun let such a beauty leave? He immediately gestured, and the guards in the vi surged out and surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Beauty, don¡¯t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.¡± Just as Zheng Yun finished speaking, he saw Xia Wanyuan smile disdainfully.

    The next second, a red light shed and a red dot shone on his forehead.

 Chapter 357 - Sister-in-law, Save Me

    <h4>Chapter 357: Sister-inw, Save Me</h4>

    Zheng Yun and the other children who had grown up in the heart of power had been protected by all sorts of bodyguards since they were young. After all, their lives were extremely important.

    When the red light shone on Zheng Yun¡¯s forehead, many hidden guards appeared from around the vi. All of them had guns on them and surrounded Zheng Yun warily.

    However, the red dot on Zheng Yun¡¯s forehead was like a time bomb. No one knew when the other party would shoot, so the people around Zheng Yun did not dare to act rashly.

    You?¡± Zheng Yun was surprised and uncertain.?<i>This couldn¡¯t be a setup, right? A small celebrity was used to bait me.</i>?One had to know that the vi he lived in was strictly protected.?<i>How did the people Xia Wanyuan had brought unknowingly get into this ce?! What kind of power was behind her?!</i>

    ¡°How much money do you want? I¡¯ll give it to you. Ask your people to withdraw.¡± Zheng Yun did not know anything about Xia Wanyuan, so he was even more flustered. He had nothing else to ask for now. No matter how much money was spent, it was enough as long as he could keep his life.

    Jun Shiling had told Xia Wanyuan that he had sent some people to secretly protect her.

    Hence, after realizing that something was wrong with Li Fei, Xia Wanyuan got into the car without worry and pretended to be asleep.

    However, she did not expect that the people Jun Shiling had assigned to protect her were all armed. She had seen that red dot on television before. It should be an infrared target.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know where the guards were either. She waved her hand tentatively, and the red light on Zheng Yun¡¯s forehead shifted to his shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to leave directly, but she felt that she couldn¡¯t be set up for nothing. She suddenly had a thought.

    ¡°Transfer ten million dors to this fund and I¡¯ll let you go.¡± Xia Wanyuan threw a flyer into Zheng Yun¡¯s arms. This was what she had received from the person who was distributing flyers at the entrance of Baili Mall.

    Zheng Yun took it and looked at it. The words ¡°Hope Engineering Education Education Fund¡± stunned him. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯ll let me go if I transfer ten million dors into this?¡±

    ¡°Yes, transfer it.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    Zheng Yun called the bank skeptically. He was a Supreme VIP, so the bank was very efficient. Not long after, the message that the transfer was sessful returned.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Zheng Yun transferring ten million dors without blinking and suddenly regretted it. There were really many rich people in Beijing. If she had known, she would have asked for more.

    Zheng Yun showed the information about the sessful transfer to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan raised her hand, and the red dot that was aimed at Zheng Yun disappeared.

    Seeing that the aim on his body had disappeared, Zheng Yun hurriedly hid behind the bodyguards. After confirming that he was not in danger, he gave the bodyguards a look, signaling them to keep Xia Wanyuan.

    Just as the guards were about to make a move, countless red dots appeared out of nowhere. Every one of them was aiming at the corresponding person. The guards¡¯ hearts trembled and they did not dare to act rashly.

    ¡°Send me back.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the chauffeur who had brought her here.

    ]Zheng Yun was already frightened. In Beijing, how dare someone be so arrogant in front of the Zheng family?! And she actually controlled this ce without anyone knowing! He nodded at the chauffeur and agreed to let the chauffeur send her back.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car. Zheng Yun watched in trepidation as the car gradually drove away from the vi. The infrared light spots that fell on them gradually disappeared.

    ¡°Go and investigate!!¡± Zheng Yun hid in the house and raged at his subordinate.

    ¡ª¡ª

    With a call from Xia Wanyuan, she terminated the cooperation meeting between Tang Yin and the rest. After returning from Lin Xi City, Xia Wanyuan had always wanted to go to thepany and settle the Moon Bay project.

    Xia Wanyuan had just driven off when an unfamiliar number called. Xia Wanyuan picked it up. It was actually Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Sister-inw, save me!!¡±

 Chapter 358 - Yuan Wanxia Sends the Painting Again

    <h4>Chapter 358: Yuan Wanxia Sends the Painting Again</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Jun Shiling walked beside her without saying a word. Their footsteps echoed in the long corridor, and Jun Shiling¡¯s heart grew heavier.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Jun Shiling was about to exin to Xia Wanyuan when he felt a jade-like hand holding his.

    Jun Shiling subconsciously clenched his fists. He turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile.

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m very scary?¡± Jun Shiling asked carefully.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up as she looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°No, you¡¯re very good.¡±

    She was not an innocent youngdy. She knew that pure light could not reach Jun Shiling¡¯s current position.

    It was just like the politics she had experienced in her previous life. Under the brilliance, there were countless political treacherousities, countless open plots, and hidden schemes. Behind the final avenue of flowers, there was an unknown number of mountains of corpses and seas of bones.

    She was not so timid that she would deny this person just because she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s dark side.

    No matter how much darkness was around Jun Shiling, she knew that he was holding up a light.

    Seeing the calmness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart warmed and he pulled her into his arms.

    Behind Xia Wanyuan, who could not see, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shed with a dark light.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan was so nice.</i>?Thinking of how Zheng Yun actually wanted to treat her in that way, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart could not help but be filled with intense darkness.

    He would not allow anyone to defile Xia Wanyuan, not even the slightest bit.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s backfortingly. ¡°I¡¯ve already punished him. Don¡¯t be too angry, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gloomy voice came. ¡°Why are there always so many people coveting you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you here? I¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    If Xia Wanyuan had note just now, Jun Shiling would have really had extreme thoughts. However, after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s few words offort, Jun Shiling finally decided to spare Zheng Yun¡¯s life and only ced him under house arrest in Prison Seven.

    ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    From afar, Bo Xiao saw Jun Shiling apanying Xia Wanyuan with a gentle expression. He knew that with Xia Wanyuan taking action, this matter would be settled.

    Jun Shiling looked up and nced at Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao¡¯s heart turned cold and he forced an ugly smile.

    <i>Oh my god, will my Brother not kill Zheng Yun but instead silence me?</i>?Bo Xiao looked at Xia Wanyuan pleadingly.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s little finger hooked on Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. When he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes, the agitation in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was calmed.

    Bo Xiao watched helplessly as Jun Shiling was pacified by an angry tiger. His admiration for Xia Wanyuan was indescribable.

    <i>Tsk, tsk. What does it mean by tempered steel bes soft? This is it!</i>

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression now, it was as if he was looking at a life-saving talisman. If he provoked Jun Shiling in the future, he would definitely be able to hide from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After returning to the manor, Jun Shiling was still a little worried that his actions just now would make Xia Wanyuan feel conflicted. He was even gentler and more considerate than before. He wished he could not even let Xia Wanyuan walk by herself.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to get up and move around, but Jun Shiling stopped her. ¡°What do you want to take? I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted tough. How could she not tell that Jun Shiling was feeling uneasy? She waved at Jun Shiling, and he leaned closer.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you underestimate me.¡± Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°What I like is you. It won¡¯t change because of anything else, so you don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling raised his hand and hugged her tighter. ¡°Repeat the 1236 words you said just now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    <i>1236?</i>

    <i>I like you?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red. She had only wanted tofort Jun Shiling and had said it in a moment of desperation. She had not thought so much.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to draw,¡± Xia Wanyuan said, about to push Jun Shiling away.

    However, Jun Shiling turned around and pressed her down on the sofa. ¡°Be good. Say it once and I¡¯ll let you go up.¡±

    At that moment, the two of them were very close. Xia Wanyuan could clearly see the joy in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and the stubborn anger that had notpletely subsided.

    Xia Wanyuan herself felt that it was incredible. How could Jun Shiling like her so much? She could feel that tangible love surrounding her.

    Although Jun Shiling often said that he loved her, Xia Wanyuan was still a little shy. She had never even said that she liked him, but now, looking at the yearning in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes,

    Xia Wanyuan thought to herself*, It¡¯s just a few words. If it can make him happy, what can¡¯t I say?*

    ¡°I said, I like you,¡± Xia Wanyuan looked into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and said softly.

    Then, she could clearly feel Jun Shiling¡¯s heart racing.

    ¡°I like you too.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were shockingly bright. He lowered his head and exchanged a gentle kiss with Xia Wanyuan.

    At the entrance not far away, Uncle Wang wanted to bring people in to clean up the ce. When he saw the two people on the sofa, his old face flushed.

    ¡°Come backter. Leave first.¡±

    <i>Why didn¡¯t I see that my young master was so passionate since he was young? Damn, young people are still so hot-tempered in the middle of the day.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Those words were too lethal to Jun Shiling. After hugging and kissing her on the sofa, he still felt that it was not enough. He coaxed Xia Wanyuan into the bedroom and drank the meat soup again.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling coquettishly.

    <i>This man had always said that five minutes was enough. Five minutes was enough. In the end, no matter how many five minutes passed, he still was not done.</i>

    ¡°I¡¯ll pack up and go to thepany. Go and draw.¡± After eating and drinking his fill, Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheek in satisfaction. ¡°Tell me what you want to eat. I¡¯ll bring it back for you.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly and got off the bed with red ears. Jun Shiling smiled like a satisfied tiger behind her.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Yuan Wanxia posted the painting of the Heavenly Spirit Princess the previous time, she had disappeared. Everyone was calling out to Yuan Wanxia on Weibo hoping that she could post some more works to let everyone see.

    It was time to routinely urge them to draw again today. Everyone clicked on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo to take a look and was surprised to find that Yuan Wanxia had actually posted a new post!

    This time, Yuan Wanxia posted two posts. One of them was a teaching video of a conventional painting of the mountains and rivers. Everyone could not help but praise it. It was indeed the work of a master!

    The other dynamic was a modern hand-drawn painting that Xia Wanyuan had practiced.

    This time, it was not the Heavenly Spirit Princess, but a woman from the Republic of China who was wearing a cheongsam and walking in the smoke.

 Chapter 359 - The Princess Enters the Group, Mu Fengs Manipulation

    <h4>Chapter 359: The Princess Enters the Group, Mu Feng¡¯s Maniption</h4>

    Recently, Xia Wanyuan had been idling at home. Not only had she reviewed the script¡¯s lines, but she had also found the original ¡°Moon As Frost¡± and read it once.

    She felt that Yang Jiu¡¯s novel was indeed not bad. As she read, she had the thought of painting.

    This painting was the role of Qin Manyue that she had understood herself.

    The woman in the gorgeous cheongsam had a haughty expression and her eyes were filled with confusion and intoxication. Behind her was the mes of war that filled the entire sky. The people beside her running or escaping seemed to have nothing to do with this person.

    Most people did not pay attention to the filming situation of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Hence, when everyone praised the painting for being beautiful, there were also people who were curious about who the painting was.

    [ Thest time, I couldfort myself by saying that it was a coincidence. This time, I can¡¯tfort myself anymore. Master is probably really a fan of Xia Wanyuan, right? ]

    [ This is the role of the female lead in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new drama ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. ]

    [ Let¡¯s talk about it. Master¡¯s paintings are so beautiful no matter what. Of course, Xia Wanyuan is also good-looking. ]

    [ What charm does Xia Wanyuan have? I heard that the crown prince of Glory World Corporation is also a fan of hers. She¡¯s amazing too. ]

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting was beautiful. Even people who did not know Xia Wanyuan knew about the drama ¡°Moon As Frost¡± because of this painting.

    Hence, the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had just started filming. Before they could even find a publicity team, they had already be famous with Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting.

    Overseas¡¯ Wansia _ Yuan ¡®ount also updated the painting, causingizens to be curious and looking forward to ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The topic of Xia Wanyuan being unprofessional and not joining the production team on time had been continuing online. However, the memories of people on the Inte were always rtively short. Soon, their anger was led away by new things.

    At this moment, Wan Shi Studio finally sent a rification statement.

    Wan Shi Studio: ¡°Thank you very much for everyone¡¯s attention to Xia Wanyuan all this time. Regarding the recent rumors online that Xia Wanyuan did not enter the production team on time and acted like a big shot, we will rify here. Because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg is injured, she could not enter the production team in time to film. She has already informed the production team in advance and adjusted her scenes, guaranteeing that it will not affect the production team¡¯s progress. Recently, her injuries have improved, and she will enter the production team as soon as possible. Thank you for everyone¡¯s support and love.¡±

    The apanying picture was a medical report from the hospital and a wound that could be seen even with mosaic.

    [ Hiss, it looks so painful. ]

    [ My heart aches. That¡¯s why everyone shouldn¡¯t keep following the trend and scolding people. Her leg is already so injured, yet she¡¯s not allowed to take leave. ]

    [ You should rest for a few more days since you¡¯re so injured. It takes a hundred days to heal your bones and muscles¡­ What did you do? Why are you in this state? ]

    Although there were still manyments that felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injury was a burden on the production team¡¯s progress, most people were still shocked by this extremely terrifying wound. Their criticism of Xia Wanyuan was not as severe as before.

    The production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had also seen Wan Shi Studio¡¯s Weibo. They had thought that Xia Wanyuan would take two to three months toe to the production team to film after taking a leave. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would appear on the production team the next day?

    ¡°Xiao Xia, are you okay?¡± Li Heng looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We can film intense fighting scenester. As long as we don¡¯t film them now, there won¡¯t be a problem.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll arrange it immediately.¡± It was also a good thing for the production team that Xia Wanyuan could start filming early. Li Heng immediately got someone to prepare the costumes and props.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Yan Ci walked towards Xia Wanyuan. He had just finished filming a scene. He was wearing a ck windbreaker and a hat, looking a little like an elite young master from Shanghai Beach.

    ¡°I¡¯m almost recovered. Thank you for your concern.¡± In the original owner¡¯s memory, she had once had a scandal with Yan Ci. Furthermore, it was the original owner of the body who had unterally given herself to him. Xia Wanyuan felt a little awkward, so she tried not to have any private contact with Yan Ci and her attitude was more distant.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Yan Ci sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alienation and rubbed his nose helplessly.?<i>Am I that annoying?</i>

    The reason why the country films in recent years had made people especially disgusted was that the makeup and clothes were especially modern. Although they were under the guise of the country films, they did not restore the flourishing beauty of that era.

    This time, when filming ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, Li Heng specially hired a professional stylist team to restore the most realistic era.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s style was not something these people could design.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan arrived, the loud roar of a sports car sounded at the entrance of the production team. A silver-haired Mu Feng walked towards the production team with a hangover.

    The stylists, who were originally unhappy that Xia Wanyuan did not allow them to put on makeup, saw Mu Feng walk beside Xia Wanyuan and gave up their dissatisfaction.

    ¡°Morning.¡± Mu Feng waved at Xia Wanyuan and yawned.

    ¡°Morning.¡±

    Mu Feng looked sleepy, but when it was time to pick up the makeup brush, his face was filled with professionalism and seriousness. Not long after, the first scene that Mu Feng had personally edited waspleted.

    ¡°Okay, Xiao Xia, we¡¯re ready for the first scene after your makeup is done.¡±

    Just as Li Heng finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan walked out. Instantly, the production team fell silent.

 Chapter 360 - World Music Competition Participation

    <h4>Chapter 360: World Music Competition Participation</h4>

    Initially, Qin Manyue¡¯s character profile was that of the richdy of Shanghai Beach. She was extremely pampered and was the most famous red rose in the Shanghai celebrity circle.

    Her first appearance was at a gathering.

    At that moment, Qin Manyue was still an arrogant and noble young missy. Mu Feng¡¯s makeup skills were extremely natural, retaining some of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s original elegance. At the right time, her face shape shrank slightly, bringing with it a hint of cuteness.

    The red evening gown made her skin look like white jade. As she walked, she had the arrogance and elegance of the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

    They were clearly surrounded by people in modern attire, but when Xia Wanyuan stood there, she made people feel as if she was a beauty who had walked out of a painting.

    As the producer, Yang Jiu wanted to p the table and exim in admiration on the spot. This was how he felt about Qin Manyue when he was writing the essay. Xia Wanyuan was even more perfect than he had imagined.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s start filming. Get ready.¡± Li Heng was also very satisfied with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, so he immediately got the production team to prepare for filming.

    A melodious music sounded and the extras were in position. Amidst the music, Qin Manyue gradually approached the hall. The camera kept moving forward and backward, taking in every angle of Xia Wanyuan.

    After training in ¡°The Long Bad¡±, Xia Wanyuan was still very sensitive to the camera. Li Heng had simply found endless inspiration from Xia Wanyuan and filmed with her for the entire day. The sky was almost dark. If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health, Li Heng would have joined the night shift to continue filming.

    Yan Ci had already finished filming his scenes, but he did not leave.

    He could be considered a person who had be famous at a young age and was very talented in acting, but after he watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, he felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s future achievements would definitely not be inferior to his.

    It was already dark. When Xia Wanyuan left the base, Jun Shiling¡¯s car was waiting at the entrance. Xia Wanyuan got into the car. In a corner not far away, the paparazzi, who had been squatting for a day, finally saw a topic of conversation. The sound of the shutter kept pressing.

    ¡°Is your leg okay?¡± Jun Shiling handed the warm water to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem.¡± After filming for a day, other than wearing high heels in the distant scenes that had to be filmed, she had always worn t shoes directly. After a day, she did not feel tired.

    ¡°Let me massage it for you,¡± Jun Shiling said as he ced Xia Wanyuan horizontally on hisp and seriously massaged her injured joint. Xia Wanyuan drank the water and looked at Jun Shiling quietly.

    In fact, what Xia Wanyuan had never told Jun Shiling was that Jun Shiling looked especially charming when he was serious.

    ]Just like now, the way Jun Shiling massaged her legs without any distractions made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skip a beat.

    Xia Wanyuan put the water bottle aside and leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, hugging his waist.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling paused and said with a smile.

    ¡°Nothing. I just want to hug.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with love as he wrapped Xia Wanyuan in his arms.

    The two of them did not speak anymore and just stood there quietly. However, both of them felt extremely peaceful.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had been too busy recently. It was only when Cai Qin called that Xia Wanyuan recalled that she had forgotten something important.

    That was the World Music Competition at the beginning of June.

    The preliminary round¡¯s selection was online. Xia Wanyuan only yed a song and handed it to Cai Qin. The specific registration details were handled by Cai Qin.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song entered the semi-finals. This meant that Xia Wanyuan had to go to Continent O to participate in thepetition.

 Chapter 361 - Meeting the Mysterious Old Man at the Music Academy

    <h4>Chapter 361: Meeting the Mysterious Old Man at the Music Academy</h4>

    ¡°Continent O?¡± When Jun Shiling heard this news, he thought for a moment and decided. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. ¡°Jun Shiling, I¡¯m going to participate in thepetition. Why are you going?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to a meeting.¡± Jun Shiling said matter-of-factly.

    What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that during the five days and five nights she had been buried in the cave, Jun Shiling had experienced five days of wind and sun on the mountain peak. No one knew what his heart had experienced.

    At that time, he had sworn in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would not be separated from Xia Wanyuan for more than a day.

    Since Jun Shiling had decided, he began to inform Lin Jing about the schedule.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was helpless, she had just confirmed her rtionship with Jun Shiling. When the two of them were intimate, she was very happy that Jun Shiling was willing to apany her.

    ording to Cai Qin¡¯s tone, Xia Wanyuan felt that the difficulty of this musicpetition should be very high, so she did not tell Tang Yin and Li Heng what she was going to do.

    She was afraid that if everyone had hope, it would not be good to lose it in the end, so she used the excuse that her wound was a little problematic and she needed to rest.

    Over the past few days, Li Heng had been especially enthusiastic about filming Xia Wanyuan. In fact, he had already exceeded the filming volume, so Li Heng generously approved of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leave.

    Xia Wanyuan was still looking forward to this trip to Continent O. After all, she had only seen the customs and cultures of that different region on television and on the map. In her previous life, she had never even left the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, let alone to such a distant ce.

    ¡°Mommy, do you know what day it is tomorrow?¡± Xiao Bao, who had finallypleted his study mission, went into the house to look for Xia Wanyuan as usual and urately pounced into her arms.

    ¡°What day is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow and pretended to be confused.

    ¡°Tomorrow is my day.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby face rubbed against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s palm. ¡°Mommy, can I receive a gift tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face and stroked his hair.

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s affirmative answer, Xiao Bao was overjoyed. He ran to Jun Shiling smugly and said, ¡°Daddy, I have a gift that Mommy prepared for me!¡±

    Jun Shiling:?<i>The final countdown for quality education begins.</i>

    The next day, on Children¡¯s Day, Xiao Bao received the Gundam model he had been longing for. He was so happy that he gloated in front of Jun Shiling for a long time. ¡°Hmph, bad Daddy, you don¡¯t allow me to buy it, but my Mommy will give it to me!¡±

    However, the next second, when he saw the ne Jun Shiling had given him, Xiao Bao¡¯s smugness immediately turned into a fawning ¡°Daddy, I knew you were the best!!¡±

    With the long-awaited gift, Xiao Bao became much easier to talk to about Xia Wanyuan leaving the manor for a few days. He did not cry or kick up a fuss and obediently followed Uncle Liu to the courtyard to look for Great-grandfather.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The distance from China to Continent O was still very far. Even with the speed of the ne, it would take more than ten hours. Xia Wanyuan leaned against the window and looked at the clouds outside.

    A small box was suddenly handed to her.

    Xia Wanyuan took the box. Inside was a very exquisite ne.

    ¡°Happy Children¡¯s Day.¡± Jun Shiling smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a child. Why do I have a Children¡¯s Day gift?¡± Xia Wanyuan took out the ne. Jun Shiling took it and helped her wear it.

    ¡°You¡¯re a child. A child should have a gift.¡± Jun Shiling opened his arms and hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan stroked the ne around her neck. It was beautiful, and she liked it very much.

    ¡°Just one thank you?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone rose.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek.

    ¡°I like this gift very much.¡± A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Sleep for a while. It¡¯s been too long. I¡¯ll call you when we eat.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling had apanied Xia Wanyuan to Continent O, he was much busier than her.

    The Jun Corporation also had arge market share in Continent O. With Jun Shiling¡¯s arrival, the management of Continent O seemed to have found their backbone and wished they could block Jun Shiling in the meeting room 24 hours a day.

    Xia Wanyuan seemed much more rxed. The hotel they were staying in was very close to Olly¡¯s most famous music school, so Xia Wanyuan went to the school to take a walk.

    This music school had a long history, so it retained many medieval architectural styles in Continent O. High Gothic buildings, relief sculptures that could be seen everywhere, and pure white marble churches.

    Xia Wanyuan strolled around and felt that although this foreign style was different from China¡¯s style, it had its own unique charm.

    In the Music Academy, the beautiful sound of students practicing their instruments could be heard everywhere.

    Xia Wanyuan could tell that these instruments were different from the ancient zither she had practiced, but they were still very pleasant to listen to. She followed the winding path and looked at the sculptures on the side of the road. Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan walked into a pure white church.

    There was no one in the church. A casually-dressed, white-haired old man was frowning as he sat in front of a piano and yed an especially pleasant song.

    Xia Wanyuan was momentarily attracted by the melody. She sat on a chair and listened quietly.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to y the piano, but that did not stop her from knowing the quality of the music. The tune yed by this old man in front of her was truly a top-notch piece.

    Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and felt it. However, when it reached the second half of the melody, it began to be obscure and even stuck in one ce. The old man had tried many times, as if he was trying to figure out how to smooth this transition.

    However, the old man yed it more than ten times. This small segment was still very abrupt.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and hummed a tune that the old man had just yed, filling in a part that the old man could not cross.

    The old man in front of the piano was originally at a loss. When he suddenly heard this humming, his eyes lit up. He immediately turned around and saw an extremely beautiful Asian woman.

    ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s humming tone, the old man yed the melody on the piano. As expected, there was no longer that disharmony and abruptness.

    After finally resolving his trouble for many days, the old man was immersed in the joy of finallypleting a piano song. He could not help but y the song three times from beginning to end before he finally revealed a satisfied smile.

    By the time he remembered to thank this Asian woman, the church was empty.

    The old man was a little dazed.?<i>Was there really someone sitting here just now, or was he hallucinating?</i>

    That night, the world-ss music master released his closing work.

    When asked how he hadposed such a great song, the master pressed his palms together.

    ¡°I¡¯m grateful to God for sending Goddess Muse to give me guidance.¡±

 Chapter 362 - I Want You to Enter the Competition

    <h4>Chapter 362: I Want You to Enter the Competition</h4>

    All the subordinates in the world had extremely good eyes when it came to receiving superiors.

    Before Jun Shiling arrived, the people of Continent O had prepared a presidential suite for him. As usual, it was the simple and dark style that Jun Shiling liked.

    When news came from the airport that Jun Shiling had a woman by his side and that he took good care of her, they immediately changed Jun Shiling¡¯s presidential suite to a rose-themed superrge bed.

    When Jun Shiling arrived at the airport, he sent Xia Wanyuan to the hotel and went straight to thepany. He did not go up. When he returned to the hotel after finishing his work,

    The moment she pushed open the door, she saw that the room was covered in roses that had turned into a carpet. Layers of red muslin swayed. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a negligee, revealing a section of her corbone that was as white as jade. She was lying on the bed reading.

    Jun Shiling went to the bathroom to change and wash up. Then, he lifted the nket and got into bed.

    Seeing Jun Shiling walk over, Xia Wanyuan reached out to him out of habit. This was a habit that Jun Shiling had developed for Xia Wanyuan over the years.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her into his arms. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and handed him the book in her hand. ¡°Study music. I feel like I don¡¯t know anything. I might disappoint President Cai.¡±

    ¡°No, music doesn¡¯t differentiate between countries. You y it very well. They will feel it.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on Xia Wanyuan gradually tightened. ¡°What did you eat just now? Why does it smell so good?¡±

    ¡°I ate a chocte. It¡¯s a little too sweet.¡±

    Jun Shiling could tell that it was not only sweet, but also strawberry-vored.

    ¡°Let me try.¡± Jun Shiling turned around and leaned on Xia Wanyuan, tasting the remaining strawberry fragrance in her mouth little by little.

    Xia Wanyuan was especially obedient tonight. She was so obedient that she did not resist at all. She was like a sweet cotton candy that made one involuntarily drown in it.

    After a while, Jun Shiling buried himself in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I want you. Can I?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling¡¯s entire body tensed up. He wanted to move further, but Xia Wanyuan stopped his hand and looked at Jun Shiling innocently. ¡°But I¡¯m on my period today.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling clenched his fists. ¡°No wonder you were so cooperative today. You did it on purpose, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak, but the smile in her eyes revealed everything.

    Jun Shiling could not help it. He hugged Xia Wanyuan for a long time before turning around and hugging her. He ced his warm palm on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach to warm it. ¡°Sleep. Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The World Music Competition was still considered a rtively fair worldpetition. The semi-finals were decided by voters chosen by nearly a hundred music colleges. In the end, ording to the rankings of the votes, the top ten people were chosen to participate in the final match.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the waiting area for the semi-finals, she realized that most of the people were above 30 years old. There were also younger people, but there were very few.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. Although there were many outstanding people in the art industry, it was rare to see someone so outstanding.

    Most importantly, she was actually an Asian. It was unknown if she was from Korean or Japan.

    As for China, they did not think in this direction. After all, in recent years, the number of people from China who could enter the semi-finals could be counted on one hand. Their presence was too low.

    Some foreign students who hade to join in the fun wanted to see who famous people were in this worldpetition, but they realized that there werepetitors from China on the official semi-finals list.

    No one in China had been able to enter the semi-finals for many years. The foreign students were very excited and took a photo of the participants and sent it back to China.

    Originally, not many people in the country paid attention to this matter, but when a marketing ount revealed that the Xia Wanyuan on this participant list was the celebrity of the entertainment industry, Xia Wanyuan, this directly triggered a heated discussion.

 Chapter 363 - Change of Nationality

    <h4>Chapter 363: Change of Nationality</h4>

    [ No way? Doesn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan only know how to y the zither? How can she enter the World Music Competition? ]

    [ What do you mean by that? What¡¯s wrong with the zither? This is our country¡¯s culture, okay? It¡¯s not worse than others. Why can¡¯t we enter? ]

    [ I guess this is as far as I can go. After all, foreign countries have quite a big prejudice against our country¡¯s music. ]

    [ Who knows what method Xia Wanyuan used to enter the semi-finals? Does she think we don¡¯t know how difficult it is to enter the musicpetition? ]

    In the end, only everyone guessed. After all, the semi-finals were not open to the public. Everyone discussed for a long time only based on the name list. Many people were even unwilling to believe that Xia Wanyuan could actually enter the semi-finals.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the waiting room, because there were more people and they had waited for a long time, everyone gradually began to chat.

    A young man with an Asian face saw Xia Wanyuan sitting alone, so he leaned over and spoke in fluent English. ¡°Hello, may I know where you¡¯re from? Korea or Japan?¡±

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan arrived in the modern world, she knew that this was an era of global integration. English was more important to dailymunication than arrogance.

    At first, she followed Xiao Bao¡¯s introductory textbooks to read, butter, she followed the English edition that Jun Shiling had given her to read. There were no problems with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily reading.

    ¡°I¡¯m from China.¡± When Xia Wanyuan spoke English, her voice was extremely pleasant to listen to, like the sound of rings clinking.

    ¡°China?¡± The man was first stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice. Only then did he realize which country Xia Wanyuan was talking about. He immediately spoke Chinese with a strange expression.

    ¡°You too?¡±

    ¡°I used to be.¡± The man nodded. ¡°But Chinese music is really not that deep, so I changed my nationality and wanted to pursue better music.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. Although she did not understand how this man could change his nationality, it was understandable that he wanted to learn foreign music more conveniently.

    However, this man did not talk about music. Instead, he proudly introduced himself to Xia Wanyuan, his tone revealing his disdain for China.

    Xia Wanyuan had originally wanted to chat more with him after hearing him speak Chinese, but he actually began to nag at her about how bad China was, how lousy its music was, and how country was.

    Before the man could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan interrupted him. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in what you¡¯re saying.¡± Then, Xia Wanyuan looked at the score in her hand.

    ¡°¡­¡± The man was rejected and felt a little embarrassed. ¡°You¡¯re too young and insensible. When you change your nationality, you¡¯ll know how good it is to be abroad.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at the man with undisguised disgust in her eyes. ¡°Can you go away? You¡¯re very noisy.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± No matter how beautiful Xia Wanyuan was, the man could not continue chatting with her after being despised by her. He immediately flicked his sleeves and left.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at this person¡¯s back andmented, ¡°Crazy.¡±

    Time passed little by little, and the number of people in the waiting room decreased. By the time Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name was called, basically all the participants in the semi-finals had already performed.

    In the evaluation hall, more than a hundred judges sat together and took the opportunity to discuss the contestants.

    The contestants in front were still not bad, but those who cameter were basically average. Everyone looked at the list. There was still thest Chinese person who yed the ancient zither.

    There was probably nothing worth watching. Many people had already begun to pack their things.

 Chapter 364 - Taking Super High Scores in the Competition

    <h4>Chapter 364: Taking Super High Scores in the Competition</h4>

    ¡°Next, let¡¯s wee contestant # 106, Xia Wanyuan, to the stage.¡± As the host¡¯s voice sounded, an astonishing and beautiful woman walked out of the stage.

    The judges, who were originally uninterested, were shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    This woman from China was really too beautiful, but why was she so young? It was really strange that she had entered the semi-finals at such a young age.

    Some people even suspected that there was some inside story behind thispetition.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Xia Wanyuan, and I¡¯m from China. Next, I¡¯ll bring the ancient zither to y.¡± Xia Wanyuan spoke fluent English and was unrestrained on the stage.

    The staff moved Feng Xiqin, who Xia Wanyuan had brought over, onto the stage.

    The judges present were basically all people who were familiar with world music. They naturally recognized that this was an extremely ancient instrument in China.

    The violin and piano were popr worldwide. Although everyone knew that there were ancient instruments, even the Chinese themselves were unwilling to learn them, let alone foreigners.

    Now, everyone had even less hope for Xia Wanyuan. After all, they had never heard of any special achievements in Chinese zithers.

    China was rtively famous in the world for a song called ¡°The Moon in the Spring¡±. Everyone¡¯s impression of China¡¯s traditional instruments was sad and low.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan did the opposite. When she was strolling at Olly Music Academy yesterday, she looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the campus and listened to the church bell. She had a preliminary impression of Olly. Sheposed this impression into a song.

    A low cry suddenly sounded in the silent hall. It was like the sound of a church bell, as if it hade from afar.

    The agitated judges stopped when they heard this voice.

    Xia Wanyuan gently waved her hand. The dignified aura of the ancient zither, mixed with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle melody, actually had a unique attractiveness.

    Everyone seemed to be led by the zither as they passed through the flowers that were everywhere and stepped on thewn that was filled with dew. They could even feel the warmth of the sunlight passing through the church¡¯s dome.

    Unknowingly, everyone was brought into this peaceful and beautiful realm.

    After the song ended, the hall was actually silent for a long time. Only when the host came up to remind everyone did they react.

    Then, thunderous apuse sounded in the hall.

    Wearing a long dress, Xia Wanyuan stood quietly on the stage, enjoying everyone¡¯s praise.

    In the end, other than some judges who hated Chinese people very much, basically everyone gave close to perfect scores. In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results were quite impressive.

    After leaving the hall, the young man stood at the door.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold expression, the young man guessed that she had definitely failed the selection. The other people with higher scores were all overjoyed when they came out.

    ¡°Hey, beauty, it¡¯s okay if you fail. China¡¯s cultivation method is really backward. It¡¯s not your problem. I¡¯m a student from the America Music Academy. Leave a phone number. Perhaps I can introduce my mentor to you and let you study in America.¡± The young man handed over the phone.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve it.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan left without even looking at him. She felt dirty at the sight of such a person who had to defame her country after changing nationality.

    The young man behind her was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. ¡°Pfft, if not for your looks, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered with you.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 365: The Princess Enters the Finals! She¡¯s pping Face!</h4>

    After knowing that Xia Wanyuan was participating in the World Music Competition, many international students and reporters in Continent O rushed over.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk out with a cold expression, everyone snapped photos and posted them back home.

    [ From her expression, I guess her results are bad. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t it very normal? She only knows how to y a few ancient zither songs. What are the fans talking about? Isn¡¯t her face being pped now? She can¡¯t even enter the musicpetition. ]

    [ Since Xia Wanyuan can enter the semi-finals, doesn¡¯t it mean that she has the ability? ]

    [ Who knows what method she used to enter? Haha, your country¡¯s music is so low. She can actually enter the semi-finals. You guys actually don¡¯t find it strange. ]

    [ The SB in front keeps calling ¡®your country¡¯. Then why do you still use our Chinesenguage? A traitor can¡¯t stand up after kneeling for too long, right? ]

    Basically, no one thought that Xia Wanyuan would pass the semi-finals, even if it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans who tore at the anti-fans¡¯ throats.

    The country was in an uproar, but it did not affect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood at all.

    The results of the semi-finals would be released the next day. Xia Wanyuan was about to return to the hotel when she received Jun Shiling¡¯s message.

    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at the back door of the theater.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and walked to the back door of the theater. As expected, Jun Shiling¡¯s car was parked by the road.

    ¡°Are you here to pick me up?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯m here to be an audience.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°You yed very well.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling was busy, he still tried his best to squeeze out time to watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed by Jun Shiling¡¯s praise. ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy today?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be busy in the afternoon. I¡¯ll bring you to eat.¡± Reaching out, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and instructed the chauffeur, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The car drove Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan slowly through the bustling Central Street, as if to take care of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s curiosity. Every time they passed a magnificent scene, the speed of the car would be especially slow.

    Through the car window, Xia Wanyuan looked at the exquisite scenery outside that waspletely different from China. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

    Jun Shiling watched quietly from the side and did not ask why a person who hade to Continent O at least ten times would naturally show such a novel expression when she saw the scenery of Continent O.

    Gradually, the car arrived at the suburbs and passed through a tall tree. In front of him was a towering ancient castle. It looked ancient and solemn. It must have been ancient.

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan over. The golden-haired, blue-eyed servant in a uniform immediately stepped forward. ¡°Young Master, Madam.¡±

    Entering the interior of the ancient castle was a Western style of court that Xia Wanyuan had never seen before.

    ¡°Is this the style of Continent O?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but be curious.

    ¡°Not really. Some ces have other styles. I¡¯ll bring you to take a look when the timees.¡± Jun Shiling pulled out a chair for Xia Wanyuan to sit.

    ¡°Let¡¯s celebrate your entrance to the finals in advance.¡± Jun Shiling picked up his red wine ss. ¡°This is wine produced by Olly¡¯s most famous winery. You can try it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the wine ss and took a sip tentatively. It didn¡¯t have a very stimting taste but had a very mellow fragrance. Xia Wanyuan clinked sses with Jun Shiling and drank it directly.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± While Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan cut the steak, she had already drunk a ss of wine. Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan had looked when she was drunk thest time, helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    ¡ª¡ª

    While Jun Shiling was eating dinner with Xia Wanyuan, the rankings for the finals of the musicpetition had already been released. To everyone¡¯s surprise, after the officials of thepetition finished tabting the results themselves, the list of the finalists was announced.

    Everyone looked at the list. Most of them were famous music masters in the world, and there were one or two young neers. However, the most surprising thing was that third ce on the list was a musician from China that they had never heard of in the world.

 Chapter 366 - Forcefully Slapping Face

    <h4>Chapter 366: Forcefully pping Face</h4>

    The first and second ce on the rankings were familiar musicians. One of them was a young musician who had risen to fame in Japan in recent years. In everyone¡¯s eyes, he was a strong contender for the top three spots in the semi-finals.

    Who would have thought that this Xia Wanyuan, who had appeared out of nowhere from China, would actually be the biggest dark horse of the year and leap into the top three of the semi-finals? It had to be known that in previous years¡¯petitions, the champions of thepetition were always from the top three of the semi-finals.

    Hence, many people began to investigate who this Xia Wanyuan was.

    In the end, after flipping through the list of neers in the music industry, they did not find such a person. It was as if she had jumped out of nowhere.

    In the end, some foreigners who had seen ¡°The Long Bad¡± felt that the name was a little familiar and guessed that it was the Chinese actor, Xia Wanyuan.

    This made many people question, how did such a person who had never appeared in the world music industry and whose main role was also an actress get third ce in the semi-finals??

    A musician from Country Han participated in thepetition. Because he was ranked 11th in the semi-finals and only one step away from the finals, he directly questioned the officials of the musicpetition on social media websites.

    His basis was that Xia Wanyuan did not have any qualifications or famous works and she used an ancient zither that was not epted by the mainstream music world.

    And this musician from Han Country, who had been removed from the ranking of 11, was still somewhat famous in the world.

    Manyizens stood on this musician¡¯s side and questioned that the World Music Competition was secretly crafted, and there was a conspiracy.

    In the end, the matter fermented on overseas websites and spread to China.

    In order to exaggerate, the domestic marketing ounts and news media directly used the title ¡°Chinese actor Xia Wanyuan ced third in the World Music Competition¡¯s semi-finals, and theizens mocked and imed conspiracy¡±.

    It was not only the foreignizens who thought so. In fact, when these media outlets were writing their manuscripts, they also agreed with the opinions of the foreignizens. They felt that Xia Wanyuan should have spent money to buy the rankings. Otherwise, with China¡¯s music and an instrument with extremely low approval like the ancient zither, it was impossible to obtain such a good ranking.

    Instantly, all the major Chinese websites and media published this news.

    [ How embarrassing¡­ Xia Wanyuan has really embarrassed herself in front of the world this time. ]

    [ I know this musician from Han Country. He even held a personal concert at the Olly Imperial Theaterst year. He¡¯s especially strong, but he was actually eliminated. Although I¡¯m Chinese, I won¡¯t stand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side this time who used dishonorable means to steal someone else¡¯s position. Why is she so at ease? ]

    [ Is there any meaning in this? The officials haven¡¯t said anything, but you guys put the hat on her quickly. How did you know that Xia Wanyuan spent money? She ys the ancient zither very well to begin with. ]

    [ Forget it, stop bragging, okay? Now, because of Xia Wanyuan alone, the inte is mocking our China for having no one. We can only rely on money to enter the World Competition, understand? It¡¯s really a shame to be in the same country as such a person. ]

    Public opinion in the world surged. Thepetition officials finally received everyone¡¯s doubts.

    Soon, the official website of thepetition posted an exnation on the tform outside the Inte.

    ¡°Thank you for everyone¡¯s attention. We know that many people have objected to the rankings in the finals recently. In order to convince everyone that ourpetition is fair and transparent, we will publicize everyone¡¯s video of the finals on the Inte next. Everyone can discuss whether there¡¯s a problem with the name list of the finals based on the performance of the contestants.¡±

    The organizers of thepetition acted quickly. Not long after they posted the statement, they directly released the video of more than a hundredpetitors on the official website.

    Everyone¡¯s main focus was on the videos of the top twenty contestants, especially Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video. It had the highest downloads and was far more than ten times the second ce.

    After everyone watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video,

    Their first impression was*, F*ck, this is too beautiful!*

    The second impression was,?<i>¡®F*ck, this is too good!¡¯</i>

    There was a crazy discussion online.

 Chapter 367 - The Princess Drunk

    <h4>Chapter 367: The Princess Drunk</h4>

    Someone had also found the video of the musician from Han Country and watched it. He yed a piano song with a rtively high difficulty, and his foundation was still admirable.

    However, other than Xia Wanyuan, everyone in the top ten was famous.

    As for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song, evenizens who did not know music could tell that there was nothing wrong with the judges¡¯ grading.

    Even though they were of different cultures andnguages, music transmitted emotions through sound.

    Everyone was easily touched by the emotions in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s music. They could feel the love her music had for Olly, the city. Even if they did not personally go to Olly Music Academy, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s music brought them sunlight.

    The theoreticalizens slowly appeared, and the rationalments increased.

    When the news traveled back to China, theizens who were fighting enthusiastically were collectively stunned.

    [ Emmmm? So it¡¯s true that Xia Wanyuan entered the finals of the World Music Competition? ]

    [ Wow, our Yuan Yuan is really amazing! ]

    [ I just finished watching the video. I can only say that Xia Wanyuan is legitimate. ]

    [ Why aren¡¯t the anti-fans dancing anymore?? Why aren¡¯t they saying that your Daddy Xia is the shame of the country now? Your Daddy Xia is fighting for glory for the country outside. Who is like you, hiding behind the keyboard and guiding the mountains? ]

    The news media had always gathered wherever there was a hot topic. Seeing the direction of this matter, they directly changed the title. ¡°Xia Wanyuan third in the semi-finals and became the dark horse that won the World Music Competition this year.¡±

    [¡­ Has the media gone crazy? Can you not always exaggerate? ]

    [ Although I¡¯m a fan of Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯m already especially impressed that she could get third ce. It¡¯s not good for the media to praise her so much. ]

    The media¡¯s praise was too much, causing thements that had just subsided to be controversial again.

    ¡ª¡ª

    While the country was in a frenzy, Xia Wanyuan did not even know that she had entered the finals.

    Because Xia Wanyuan was drunk.

    Xia Wanyuan was especially obedient when she was drunk. She did not act drunk or run around screaming.

    She sat on the chair obediently. Whenever he spoke to her, she would tilt her head and smile at him.

    Jun Shiling felt that Xia Wanyuan was too cute.

    ¡°Are you full?¡± Jun Shiling asked Xia Wanyuan after slicing the steak into pieces and feeding it to her.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m so full.¡± The drunk Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes glistened. She tilted her head and looked at Jun Shiling quietly for a while.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re so good-looking.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s drunken and soft voice sounded.

    ¡°Oh, so you like my beauty?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and stepped forward to help Xia Wanyuan up.

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and thought about it seriously. ¡°No, other than looking good, I like everything else.¡±

    When he said this, Jun Shiling felt as if his heart was floating in the clouds, and it had nevernded.

    It was alreadyte. The castle was originally the Jun family¡¯s property, so Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan rested in the castle. He helped her to the bed in the bedroom and washed her up personally.

    ¡°Who do you like?¡± After finishing everything, Jun Shiling slept beside Xia Wanyuan and pinched her smooth face.

    Xia Wanyuan rubbed her face against Jun Shiling¡¯s palm with great dependence. ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so easy to bully.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obedient appearance after drinking and felt extremely pitiful. He wanted to do something.

    However, Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to hug his neck and fell asleep in his arms. Her breathing gradually became longer.

    ¡°You run after flirting every day.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head helplessly and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, then gradually fell asleep.

    The next morning, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, Jun Shiling was already gone.

    After Xia Wanyuan ate, she went to the Olly Royal Theater alone to listen to the concert.

    In order to facilitate the training of the participants, the officials of the musicpetition specially opened many training venues in the theater for everyone to practice.

    Although ancient zithers were different from foreign instruments, some of the same techniques and aesthetic standards were the same. Xia Wanyuan wanted to find more inspiration.

    Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. Xia Wanyuan did not expect to meet that annoying young man just by listening to music in the theater.

    <h4>Chapter 368: Materialistic Princess??</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Wanyuan was originally sitting in her seat, quietly listening to the violin music in the theater.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the Pride of China?¡± An inharmonious male voice suddenly sounded.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. The man who had changed his nationality was smiling at her, but his eyes were filled with jealousy.

    Back then, when he removed his nationality and entered America, China was still a poor country in the world. There were no cars on the streets, and at that time, America was the most advanced country in the world.

    At that time, many people envied him for being able to go to America. Every time he went home to visit his rtives, he would receive everyone¡¯s envious gazes. The sense of superiority in his heart was indescribable.

    However, no one expected China to develop so quickly. In just a few years, China had quietly be a country that couldpete with America, and the socioeconomic development was rapid.

    After all, he was an outsider in America. It had been difficult for him to integrate there for so many years, and he could not return to China. Being stuck in the middle, he hated China more and more, and he hated to see any improvement in China because every improvement was mocking his mistake of leaving the country.

    He had worked hard for so many years but had never been able to enter the World Music Competition. This time, he actually saw someone from China enter, and it was such a young girl. He could not maintain the sense of superiority in his heart. He looked at Xia Wanyuan in a state of jealousy and hatred.

    A foreigner wearing a headscarf walked in front of the man. The foreigner did not understand Chinese and looked at them in confusion.

    ¡°Richard, who is this beautifuldy? Do you know her?¡±

    ¡°Prince Garo, this is the person who got third ce in the semi-finals of the musicpetition. She¡¯s from China.¡±

    ¡°I see. I¡¯ve long heard that the women of the mysterious Eastern country are all very beautiful. Seeing her today, it¡¯s indeed the case.¡± Prince Garo looked at Xia Wanyuan in amazement.

    He had grown up in the Olly royal family and had been surrounded by countless beauties since he was young. However, to be honest, he had never seen a woman who looked as gentle as water but as arrogant as an iceberg, making him yearn for her.

    ¡°Prince Garo, the women in China are rtively cheap. They¡¯re very vain. If you like, you can take her in. I believe that with your wealth and charm, she definitely won¡¯t reject you.¡± Richard leaned closer to Prince Garo and suggested.

    They were talking in Orea. Xia Wanyuan did not understand, but from the expressions of Richard and Prince Garo, she could basically guess what they were talking about.

    ¡°Hello, beautifuldy. I am Prince Garo of Ore. May I have the honor of having lunch with you?¡± Richard mumbled beside Prince Garo for a long time before Prince Garo stepped forward and asked in English.

    ¡°NO¡± Displeasure shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She rejected Prince Garo¡¯s suggestion very directly and simply.

    ¡°Pfft, what are you pretending for?¡± Richard scoffed. ¡°A little celebrity, but she¡¯s wearing a ne worth tens of millions and carrying a bag worth millions. Why? You can sleep with another man and not Prince Garo?¡±

    The violin performance on stage had just ended. Xia Wanyuan stood up, walked to the two of them, and reached out to p Richard. Her foot kicked his knee.

    Richard felt his knees weaken and he fell to his knees.

 Chapter 369 - Really Slapping Face, Master Roman Taking in a Disciple

    <h4>Chapter 369: Really pping Face, Master Roman Taking in a Disciple</h4>

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan!! How dare you!¡± Richard could not feel his right leg at all. He knelt on the ground. The audience around him castplicated gazes. Richard looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily, and he could not even maintain the smile on his face.

    Before Richard could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s second pnded on his face. ¡°Pa!¡± It resounded through the theater.

    Xia Wanyuan used her strength. Although she had only hit him twice, both sides of Richard¡¯s face were swollen and burning.

    Xia Wanyuan took out the invitation to the finals that she had received not long ago and waved it in front of Richard. ¡°Do you see it? It¡¯s an invitation that you won¡¯t be able to get even if you waste your entire life.¡±

    ¡°What are you so smug about? It¡¯s just a qualification for the finals, but you¡¯re already so arrogant. As expected of a Chinese who has never seen the world.¡± Richard looked at the invitation letter with fire in his eyes.

    ¡°You changed your nationality but can¡¯t integrate into the local life. This feels terrible, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan saw the anger in Richard¡¯s eyes and continued, ¡°Back then, your friends should have be famous in China now, right? But you can¡¯t go back anymore. You can only be a dog in front of the rich and powerful, wagging your tail and begging for pity.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were like a sharp knife that pierced straight into Richard¡¯s arrogant and inferior heart. His face was green and red, and his expression was very funny.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly.?<i>What a waste of time. This person had caused me to not even finish listening to the concert.</i>?However, these few words of hers would make Richard sink into turmoil and pain for the rest of his life.

    ¡°Miss?¡± Prince Garo¡¯s eyes widened.

    Women in the country of Ore always covered their faces with a ck veil when they went out. At home, they were extremely obedient to men. This was the first time he had seen such a passionate woman. She was like a thorny rose that instantly aroused the strong desire of men to conquer her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have time.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan left the theater, ignoring Prince Garo¡¯s infatuated gaze.

    ¡°Richard, do you know this woman? How can I get her?¡± Prince Garo looked at Richard, who was still kneeling on the ground.

    It was unknown what was strange with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s kick. Richard knelt on the ground and could not get up no matter what. Hearing Prince Garo¡¯s words, a me of hatred shed across his heart.

    ¡°Prince Garo, there¡¯s an old saying in China. It¡¯s said that what¡¯s done is done. Snatch her over and make her your woman. When the timees, dere to the public that you¡¯re in love. ording to thews of the Ore Country, she¡¯s yourwful wife.¡±

    Ore Country had extremely high requirements for women¡¯s chastity. Women had to wear a ck veil when they went out. If they lost their chastity to a man, they had to marry him because no other man was willing to marry her.

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you. If you do it well, I¡¯ll give you more benefits.¡± Prince Garo¡¯s heart swayed when he thought of the thorny beauty.

    ¡°Yes, Prince. I¡¯ll definitely do it for you.¡± Richard struggled to stand up.

    <i>Hmph, so what if you entered the finals? After entering the royal family of the Ore Country, no matter how talented you are, you can only abide by your duty as a wife in the pce.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan walked out of the theater and saw from afar that the entrance of the Royal Academy of Music was filled with people. She looked curiously.

    There were too many people and they could not see the exact situation. They only saw a huge banner.

    ¡°The finale of the world-ss musician, Master Roman.¡±

    There was a photo hanging by the banner. It was actually the white-haired old man she had seen in the churchst time.

    ¡°Wow, I finally got a ticket. I can see the legendary Master Roman!!¡±

    ¡°I heard that Master Roman is taking in ast disciple this time. I wonder if it¡¯s true.¡±

    ¡°It seems to be true. I wonder who is so lucky to be chosen by Master Roman. I hope I¡¯m God¡¯s favorite!¡±

    ¡°Dream on.¡±

    Passers-by giggled as they passed, discussing the uing concert.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have a ticket. She took a look and prepared to leave.

    However, just as she turned around, someone chased after her. ¡°Miss, please wait!¡±

 Chapter 370 - The Mysterious Little Boy

    <h4>Chapter 370: The Mysterious Little Boy</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. A young blonde student was looking at her shyly.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    ¡°Hello, my name is Nick. I¡¯m a student at this school. Do you want to see Master Roman¡¯s concert?¡±

    ¡°?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold gaze, the young student could not help but blush.

    ¡°I¡¯m a volunteer. I can bring you in through the staff passage.¡±

    ¡°Hey, China¡¯s Pride doesn¡¯t even have an invitation to enter a concert. Do you need to rely on volunteers to enter?¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, Richard¡¯s voice came from the side.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and met those cold eyes. Richard was frightened for a moment, but on second thought,?<i>she couldn¡¯t hit someone on the streets, right?</i>?Hence, he mustered his courage.

    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone looking for a beating.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips parted slightly. Richard, who was 1.9 meters tall, immediately jumped two meters away from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡­¡­.

    The student who had wanted to step forward to protect Xia Wanyuan immediately retreated.

    ¡°We¡¯re in public. If you dare to hit me, I¡¯ll call the police!¡±

    Although he said that, Xia Wanyuan was too ruthless. There was still a hint of fear in Richard¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°You don¡¯t even have an invitation. Just stand here and listen. After all, someone like you will nevere into contact with an upper-ss musician like Master Roman.¡±

    As Richard spoke, he took out an invitation from his chest. He had obtained it through his rtionship with Prince Garo. He looked at Xia Wanyuan smugly and swaggered into the academy.

    However, his walking posture was especially strange, as if he was enduring a huge pain.

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. If she had an invitation, she still wanted to listen to that old man y the piano again. After all, he did y it pretty well. However, without an invitation, she didn¡¯t force it.

    Turning a corner, there was a crying little boy sitting on the flower bed. Hearing footsteps, the little boy looked up. His blue eyes seemed to contain the entire sky.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Master Roman got out of the car amid the crowd and waved at everyone. From the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure.

    ¡°Muse?!¡± Master Roman eximed. Coincidentally, a reporter¡¯s microphone was handed over, blocking his line of sight. When he finished answering the reporter¡¯s question and looked in that direction, he did not see anything.

    The school urged him, and Master Roman walked into the school under the crowd.

    At the same time, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

    At the entrance of the theater, Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting on the flower bed and talking to the foreign boy for a while, stood up.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore in the future.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the remaining milk candy in her bag to the twelve-year-old boy who looked exceptionally exquisite.

    ¡°Pretty Sister, I¡¯m not a child anymore. I can¡¯t eat milk candy anymore.¡± Although the boy said that he couldn¡¯t eat it, his hand held the milk candy Xia Wanyuan had given him especially tightly.

    At that moment, the servants who hade to look for the boy had already arrived. They seemed to want to say something, but they were stopped by the boy.

    ¡°Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan saw that Jun Shiling¡¯s car was slowly driving over not far away, so she waved at the little boy.

    ¡°Wait a minute.¡± The little boy suddenly stopped Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Pretty Sister, if I sessfullyplete this semester¡¯s mission, can you marry me and be my wife?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°You¡¯re still a child.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m not young. I¡¯m already twelve years old this year!¡± The little boy looked extremely unconvinced. His blue eyes were filled with innocence.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak further. She smiled at him and got into the car.

    In the car, Jun Shiling nced at the badge on the little boy outside and his eyes flickered.

    Xia Wanyuan saw Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze and thought that he was jealous after hearing the boy¡¯s words.

    She took the initiative to go forward and hug Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, acting cute. ¡°Why are you only here now?¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You always use the cute move to get by.¡±

    ¡°Does it work?¡± A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°It works every time.¡± Jun Shiling clenched his fists helplessly.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Time passed very quickly. The second day after the name list for the semi-finals was announced, the officials of thepetition began to prepare for the finals.

    This was a grand event in the music world. In order to showcase the grandness of thepetition, the final venue was chosen at thergest and most ancient Holy Light Cathedral in the country of Ore.

    Even the royal family of the Ore Country sent representatives tofort thepetition.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I wish you the championship.¡±

    When the royal representative, Prince Garo, arrived at the church, the first thing he did was walk towards the beautiful female yer from China.

    This immediately caused amotion in the church.

    <h4>Chapter 371: Stunning the Crowd in the Finals!</h4>

    Everyone was specting about the rtionship between this mysterious Oriental woman and Prince Garo.

    Although Xia Wanyuan felt that this person was really persistent, the World Music Competition was broadcasted live globally. Xia Wanyuan took into ount the face of both parties and nodded slightly.

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    A smile shed across Prince Garo¡¯s face before he walked into the church under everyone¡¯s suspicious gazes.

    [ Squeeze, I¡¯m here. Why are there so many people watching this year¡¯s live broadcast? ]

    [ Don¡¯t you think that the way this prince looks at Xia Wanyuan is a little¡­ ]

    [ I realized that Xia Wanyuan could enter the musicpetition probably because of Prince Garo? ]

    [ The person in front is really disabled and determined. She¡¯s blind and deaf, but she still came to watch the live broadcast. The officials have released all thepetition videos. Anyone can tell that Xia Wanyuan relied on her ability, okay? ]

    The order of the finals¡¯ performances waspletely disrupted. Xia Wanyuan had coincidentally drawn the tenth and was thest to go on stage.

    The other contestants were more or less a little nervous, but Xia Wanyuan was rtively calm. She found a seat by the window and listened to the music of the contestants who had already gone on stage.

    The live-stream switched to the church, and everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by the performer.

    Of the ten contestants, only three were women, and other than Xia Wanyuan, the other two were gathered and discussing.

    ¡°Hey, do you know what that Chinese person ys?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s an ancient zither. I¡¯ve never seen such an instrument before. I heard that she ys it pretty well.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, what right does a Chinese have to participate in Country Ore¡¯spetition? What good music can their country have?¡± The two of them were originallymunicating in smallnguages from other countries, but a blonde woman suddenly changed hernguage to English, as if she was saying it deliberately for Xia Wanyuan to hear.

    Xia Wanyuan did hear this. She turned around and saw the blonde woman looking at her arrogantly. This was the attitude the advanced Western countries had towards the Chinese.

    ¡°Which country are you from?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked with a hint of power.

    ¡°McCann,¡± the blonde woman said extremely proudly.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve never heard of it. Let me check online.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly and lowered her head to search for a word. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s a small country with only 500 years of history. No wonder you¡¯re so ignorant. Before your ancestors were born, China had already developed for thousands of years.¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± The blonde woman wanted to retort, but she actually knew very little about China. She was momentarily speechless by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alice, don¡¯t argue with her,¡± another foreign woman advised. ¡°You can¡¯t be angry with her. You have to prepare yourself. You¡¯re about to go on stage. Master Roman is looking forward to it.¡±

    Hearing Master Roman¡¯s name, the blonde woman calmed down. She red fiercely at Xia Wanyuan, then walked to the side to practice the zither.

    Not long after, the blonde woman was called out.

    Xia Wanyuan listened to this person¡¯s performance. Although this person was more annoying, he did have some ability. No wonder she was so arrogant.

    The evaluation in front was orderly. Soon, all nine contestants appeared.

    These nine people each had their own advantages. The audience and the judges enjoyed a feast of music. Most of the reporters had already begun to guess this year¡¯s champion based on the reactions of the judges and audience.

    As for Xia Wanyuan? Although she was a dark horse, China had never had much of a presence in the long term. Other than Chinese reporters who were still paying attention to Xia Wanyuan, no one else cared.

    The audience in the church had never even heard of the ancient zither ying once, so they did not have much expectations for such a strange Oriental instrument.

    ¡°Next, let¡¯s wee Miss Xia Wanyuan from China.¡± With the host¡¯s voice, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, leaving only a small beam on the stage.

    A corner of a white dress appeared in front of everyone. The lights gradually climbed, and Xia Wanyuan appeared on the stage.

    She was dressed in a white fishtail dress. The broken diamonds on her dress reflected the dazzling light. Her eyebrows were long and her eyes were clear. There was a moment of collective silence.

    Master Roman, who was sitting in the middle of the judges¡¯ seats, widened his eyes when he saw Xia Wanyuan.?<i>¡®Isn¡¯t this Goddess Muse sent by God?!¡¯</i>

    After being amazed, worry appeared in Master Roman¡¯s eyes.

    <i>This Oriental woman was too beautiful. And for a musician, making people pay attention to her music was the most important thing. This woman¡¯s shocking beauty would cause people to divert their attention to her appearance. This was not a good thing for her to participate in thepetition.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan bowed to the judges and audience, then sat in front of the ancient zither.

    With a light wave of his hand, an ancient bell-like low hum sounded. With a slight movement of her fingers, another bell sounded. Compared to the one in front, this sound was more Western-like.

    The judges were a little stunned.?<i>Why have we never heard of this song before?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ten fingers danced. The magnificent waves harmonized with a gentle voice and gradually inserted into the solemn and ssical Western music.

    At this moment, everyone could tell that she had mixed the East and West. These two music, which had a huge difference, were actually mixed exceptionally harmoniously in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands.

    Everyone seemed to see the red brick and green tiles of the pce facing the solemn cathedral. It was as if they had walked from the south of the spring rain in March to the Kang Bridge that was covered in a continuous drizzle.

    In this zither music, people forgot the difference in culture and were intoxicated by the magnificent painting of time and space that Xia Wanyuan had brought people into.

    Unknowingly, the ying had stopped, but the people in the church stayed in the extremely beautiful paintings for a long time.

    Until Master Roman led the apuse.

    Only then did everyone react and p with Master Roman. The apuse in the churchsted for a long time.

    It was not only those present. Those watching the live broadcast in China were also brought into the artistic mood of the music that Xia Wanyuan had created.

    [ I¡¯m so touched. Listen to me. ]

    [ This is the first time I feel that Xia Wanyuan is so amazing. Really, how did her hand grow? I think I¡¯m about to see an afterimage. ]

    [ I suddenly feel that our country¡¯s music isn¡¯t inferior to foreign music at all. It doesn¡¯t matter even if Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t win the championship this time. In my heart, Xia Wanyuan is the champion. ]

    [ Boohoo, as a music student, I know too well how weak our Chinese music is internationally. I actually teared up when I saw Xia Wanyuan ying our own instrument and conquering all the audience. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was thest contestant and the judges were giving marks. Xia Wanyuan stood on the stage and waited.

    Xia Wanyuan casually nced at them and met a pair of smiling eyes.

    <h4>Chapter 372: Rejecting Master Roman¡¯s Disciple Offer</h4>

    Jun Shiling was sitting in the audience, looking at her with a smile in his eyes. The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips could not help but curve.

    The World Music Competition was not only a global live broadcast, but there were also many photographers present. The photographer recorded Xia Wanyuan standing on the stage and smiling.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s invite all the contestants on stage.¡±

    The scores of all the contestants had been tabted, and the final rankings had been arranged.

    ¡°The person who obtained third ce in thepetition is Alice from McCon. Congrattions!¡± Just as the host¡¯s voice fell, warm apuse erupted in the church. Alice stepped forward excitedly to receive the trophy, and when she walked back, she even looked at Xia Wanyuan provocatively.

    The second ce winner of thepetition fell to a pianist from Ennd.

    Everyone waited for the host to announce the first ce, but the host suddenly said that Master Roman would announce the first ce himself.

    Master Roman walked to Xia Wanyuan and picked up the microphone.

    ¡°The contestants who cane to this World Music Competition are all very outstanding. Everyone¡¯s performance has its highlight. Music has no borders. In the end, after the unanimous approval of the judges, we believe that the champion song of thispetition has established the bridge of Chinese and Western culture. Therefore, let us congratte Miss Xia Wanyuan from China!¡±

    After Master Roman finished speaking, the audience apuded. After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was indeed very good. They had all experienced it for themselves.

    [ Oh my god!!! She¡¯s really the champion! ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan NB! ]

    [ Too amazing, our Yuan Yuan. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, my fans are too outstanding!! The champion of the World Competition! ]

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s victory, all the news media in the country blew up. Instantly, all the major tforms began to promote this news.

    Xia Wanyuan had no idea that she was being blocked backstage by Master Roman.

    ¡°Miss Xia, are you really not willing to be my student??¡± Master Roman asked this same question for the tenth time.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I already have a teacher. If I acknowledge other teachers, he will be angry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did have a teacher, but that was in her previous life. Master Yu Qian had a solitary personality. In his life, he had only taken in Xia Wanyuan as a disciple. One day as a teacher, one lifetime as a father. Xia Wanyuan did not n to be someone else¡¯s student in the modern world.

    ¡°Alright then. This is my phone number. Leave one behind. If you have any problems, you can call me directly. If you regret it, you can tell me immediately.¡± Master Roman regretfully handed a name card to Xia Wanyuan.

    Those who wanted to be his student could queue up around Ole Country, but he did not fancy any of them. The only one he liked already had a teacher. Master Roman could only leave with a sigh.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you y so well. Can I invite you to the pce for a meal?¡±

    Relying on the fact that he was a member of the royal family, Prince Garo arrived backstage without any obstruction. The soldiers guarded the door and chased the others away.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan rejected him simply. With the trophy in hand, Xia Wanyuan walked to the door but realized that she could not open the door.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I just wanted to invite you for a meal. Give me face.¡± Prince Garo smiled and approached Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Otherwise, with your delicate appearance, you¡¯ll probably suffer a little.¡±

    ¡°Have you forgotten what happened to that person yesterday?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not panic. She turned to look at Prince Garo with coldness in her eyes.

 Chapter 373 - I Want to Eat Meat When Im Back in China

    <h4>Chapter 373: I Want to Eat Meat When I¡¯m Back in China</h4>

    Prince Garo recalled the rumors that all Chinese people had kung fu. In addition to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills yesterday, he hurriedly took two steps back. The bodyguards behind him immediately stood in front to protect him.

    ¡°Open the door,¡± Xia Wanyuan said. The power in her eyes made one feel that she should be the most respected person in the royal family.

    ¡°Cut the crap. Bring her to the pce.¡± Prince Garo did not dare to make a move himself, but he instructed the bodyguards to capture Xia Wanyuan.

    Bang! The door was kicked open.

    ¡°I wonder where Prince Garo wants to bring my wife? Will I have the honor to visit the pce?¡± A cold voice sounded.

    Prince Garo turned around and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face.

    ¡°W-wife?¡± Prince Garo looked at Xia Wanyuan and then at Jun Shiling. Thinking of Jun Shiling¡¯s identity, his legs instantly turned weak.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know she was your wife!! Otherwise, I definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to touch her.¡± Prince Garo was extremely afraid of Jun Shiling, and his voice trembled.

    Jun Shiling ignored him and reached out to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. Jun Shiling held her hand and walked out the door. Prince Garo wanted to say something behind him, but he was afraid of disturbing Jun Shiling, so he didn¡¯t dare to speak.

    ¡°Prince, how was it? Did you get it?¡± Prince Garo slipped out and met Richard.

    ¡°Hmph, you almost killed me.¡± Prince Garo nced at Richard coldly. ¡°Someone, kidnap him.¡±

    Before Richard knew what was happening, he was carried away in a sack.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Since thepetition had ended, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did not stay any longer. After leaving the church, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went straight to the airport.

    After all, the two of them were extremely busy people. One of them had the Jun Corporation in his sights, and the other had the drama production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± waiting for her to film.

    When they were in the car, Xia Wanyuan realized that there was something wrong with Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. When they got on the ne and Jun Shiling was actually sitting at the side without speaking, Xia Wanyuan knew that this person must be jealous again.

    Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. Jun Shiling turned around and nced at Xia Wanyuan coldly.

    ¡°Superstar Xia is really quite popr.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Are you jealous? Is it worth getting angry at such a person?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°There will always be so many people coveting you.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I only let you covet me?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, smiling until her eyes were sparkling.

    <i>These words¡­</i>

    Jun Shiling felt as if the pot of vinegar in his heart had turned into sugar water. His deliberately cold face could not help but show some joy.

    ¡°Who did you learn these sweet words from?¡± Jun Shiling said hatefully.

    ¡°You.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very certain.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. Leaning into her ear, he asked, ¡°When can I eat meat?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan instantly understood what he meant and blushed. ¡°You should be a vegetarian.¡±

    Jun Shiling was only teasing her. Seeing how embarrassed Xia Wanyuan was, he did not continue. He hugged her and rested quietly.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan returned to China, the news that she had won the World Music Competition had already spread to all the major tforms.

    This time, she was more outstanding than any previous works. Even those who did not pay attention to the entertainment industry knew that a female celebrity had won a world-ss award.

 Chapter 374 - Dad-Conning Trickster

    <h4>Chapter 374: Dad-Conning Trickster</h4>

    The Ancient Zither Association exploded. In fact, even Cai Qin did not expect Xia Wanyuan to really win the championship.

    After all, ording to his n, as long as Xia Wanyuan could enter the top ten, he would be able to find connections to settle the matter of Xia Wanyuan joining the association. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would be so supportive, directly supporting a gold award?

    Now, there was no need for him to find any connections. The gold award for the World Competition was enough to open the door for the Ancient Zither Association.

    That day, the higher-ups approved Xia Wanyuan¡¯s application to join the association. Xia Wanyuan officially became a member of the Ancient Zither Association.

    Professor Zhang was the only person in the Painter Association who knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s true identity. Seeing that the Ancient Zither Association had already poached her, Professor Zhang was extremely anxious. He ran to the Painter Association and spoke to the president for a long time, hoping to recruit Yuan Wanxia into the association.

    However, the admission procedures for the Chinese Painter Association were even moreplicated and had more requirements. Even though Li Qian admired Yuan Wanxia very much, it was not that easy.

    ¡°Speaking of which, who is this Yuan Wanxia? You can deceive others but not me. I don¡¯t believe you got it from a stall.¡± Li Qian looked at Professor Zhang suspiciously.

    ¡°Since she doesn¡¯t want to expose her identity, I can¡¯t say much. But I can only say that she¡¯s an especially good seedling.¡±

    ¡°Seedling?!¡± Li Qian looked at Professor Zhang in surprise. This word was not used randomly. ¡°How old is Yuan Wanxia? Is the word ¡®seedling¡¯ suitable?¡±

    ¡°22 years old.¡± Professor Zhang thought that it should not be a problem to reveal her age.

    ¡°22?! Old Zhang, are you kidding me? That¡¯s not right. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t tell me who he is, but how can you make up something as ridiculous as 22 years old?¡± Li Qian waved his hand. He did not believe it at all.?<i>How could that painting technique not have decades of foundation?</i>

    Professor Zhang repeatedly guaranteed it, but Li Qian also felt that Professor Zhang was lying to him.

    ¡°Alright, forget it if you don¡¯t believe me. Anyway, you have to take this matter to heart and get her in as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Got it, got it.¡±

    Li Qian wondered if there were any special channels to recruit people. He identally saw the news that Xia Wanyuan had been epted into the Ancient Zither Association because she had won the World Music Competition gold award.

    Li Qian¡¯s mind lit up as he thought of a solution.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The weather was gradually getting hotter. There were no magical desserts like ice cream in the Xia Dynasty.

    When Xia Wanyuan watched television, she always saw someone eating this. Now that it was finally time to eat ice cream, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the bed and ate a chocte-vored ice cream while reading the script.

    Xia Wanyuan savored the aftertaste and felt that she had not had enough. She took out another box of vani ice cream from the fridge in the bedroom.

    However, before she could sit down and eat two mouthfuls, Jun Shiling walked in and stopped her from continuing to dig for ice cream.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the empty ice cream bag beside him. ¡°It¡¯s too cold. You can only eat one.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not cold. I¡¯m very hot. I¡¯ll eat another one,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and wanted to take the ice cream back from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you still on your period? You can¡¯t eat too much cold food.¡± Jun Shiling took the box away disapprovingly.

    ¡°It¡¯s over long ago.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Jun Shiling ced the box somewhere Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t reach and sat beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan knew what he was thinking the moment she saw his expression. Xia Wanyuan shrank back nervously, but Jun Shiling pulled her back.

    A piece of pine fragrance covered her.

    After a while, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°How sweet.¡±

    ¡°Is Jun Yin still at Grandpa¡¯s house today?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked, perhaps because her brain had short-circuited.

    She regretted it after asking. It was as if she was hinting at something.

    As expected, Jun Shiling smiled when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. ¡°Mm, he¡¯s noting back. Tonight is ours. I didn¡¯t expect you to be even more anxious than me.¡±

    Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, he wanted to continue.

    The sound of running footsteps could be heard from outside, followed by a cute voice. ¡°Mommy, Daddy, I¡¯m back!!! I missed you guys so much!!!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 375: Princess Posted on Weibo Jun Shiling got Scolded</h4>

    Xiao Bao¡¯s footsteps approached, and Xia Wanyuan hurriedly pushed Jun Shiling away.

    Jun Shiling clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the desire in his heart.

    Mommy, what are you doing?¡± She could tell that Xiao Bao had run all the way to the bedroom. The little dummy¡¯s hair was blown up, and his little face was pink like a little apple.

    From Xiao Bao¡¯s point of view, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was flushed red as if it was especially hot, while Jun Shiling¡¯s face was as cold as ice in the cold weather.

    ¡°Eh, Daddy, are you in a bad mood? Who provoked you? I¡¯ll beat him up for you!¡±

    Xiao Bao climbed onto the bed quickly and sat between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. He hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, then looked at Jun Shiling with his big ck grape-like eyes that were filled with praise.

    <i>Look!! How sensible I am! I can tell from Daddy¡¯s stoic face that he¡¯s unhappy!</i>

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold as he pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby little face. ¡°Why have you gained so much weight? Are you not exercising at home every day? Starting tomorrow morning, follow me to the morning run.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s round eyes fell. ¡°How am I fat? The kindergarten teacher said that I have baby fat. It¡¯s very cute.¡±

    ¡°Yes, cute.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had been watching themotion, finally spoke. She pulled Xiao Bao into her arms. ¡°Baby, be good and eat ice cream with Mommy.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao was happy again when he heard that there was ice cream to eat.

    He looked at the mother and son, who were eating ice cream on the bed.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s face was tensed. He could not hit, scold, or eat meat. He had to coax her every day, but he was willing to endure it.

    Jun Shiling sighed in his heart and went downstairs to pour warm water for the mother and son.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s impression of herself was still stuck in the time when she had just arrived in the modern world. Once she opened Weibo, there were overwhelming insults and threats. In addition, she didn¡¯t use Weibo much, so in the past few months, the number of times she posted on Weibo could be counted on one hand.

    It was only when Tang Yin urged her to post some life-rted scenes on Weibo to close the distance between her and her fans that she realized that she still had many fans.

    ¡°Of course!!! Don¡¯t you know that because you won the world musicpetition champion, many people became fans of you? Even the number of views for ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ increased by a lot!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan checked Weibo. Although there were still many private messages scolding people, there were indeed many more friendlyments. There were even many people who confessed to her.

    As for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan club, which had been operating for a long time but had never had any presence, it finally had some presence.

    Seeing that the number of fans increased by ten thousand, the fan club president immediately wanted to sing praises to the sky.

    <i>Look! This is the world that Yuan Yuan has conquered for us!!</i>

    Thinking of what Tang Yin said about bridging the gap between her fans and her by posting her life-rted photos, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while, casually filmed a television, and then posted on Weibo.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°I¡¯m watching a drama at home.¡±

    In an instant,izens who had listed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo as special attention flooded in.

    [ AHHHH! Let me in, let me in, I want to see the trending topic! ]

    [ Wow, Goddess, you¡¯ve finally updated your Weibo!!! I want to hear you y the zither! ]

    [ Are we watching television?!!!! We¡¯re watching you! ]

    [ Did the goddess kill me with her beauty today? Not yet. I want to see a selfie. Boohoo. ]

    [ Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here. When are you going to enter the production team to film a new drama? I¡¯ve watched ¡®The Long Bad¡¯ a few times already. I¡¯m looking forward to your new drama! ]

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo had more than ten thousandments. Although there were many insults, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s psychological ability was abnormally strong. She saw them as if she didn¡¯t see them.

    Whether in her previous life or in this life, Xia Wanyuan had never had the experience of talking to unfamiliarizens through space. Looking at thements that were either meticulously written confessions, crying out loud, or confessing their feelings, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was quite interesting.

    Slowly flipping through thements and seeing that everyone wanted to see her selfie, Xia Wanyuan turned on the camera and casually took a photo to post.

    It was a photo of a death angle, a pre-mortem camera, and an original camera that did not use any beauty filter.

    Hence, theizens quickly received a reminder from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new post.

    When they clicked on it, they realized that it was a goddess!!

    [ Sister used her beauty to kill me today too. Boohoo. ]

    [ I have a question to ask Nuwa. I wonder if she has the time now. ]

    [ The person in front, don¡¯t think about it. Nuwa is fighting with me. She doesn¡¯t have time. ]

    [ Didn¡¯t you realize that she used a dead angle She has no photoshop and no filter. The photos that came out are still like this? ]

    [ I could have used the death angle tofort myself that it wasn¡¯t my problem. It was the camera. Now that I see this photo of her, I know that it¡¯s my problem. I¡¯m crying. ]

    Soon, the trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s camera¡± was on the trending list. The topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan World Music Competition Champion¡± had been on the trending list since yesterday.

    Three minutes after Xia Wanyuan posted on Weibo, Xuan Sheng, the crown prince of Glory World Corporation, who had been silent for a long time, updated two posts.

    Xuan Sheng reposted these two Weibo posts separately.

    On the Weibo ount of the first television, Xuan Sheng reposted it and added, ¡°It¡¯s cute for such an old person to watch the Big Gray Wolf.¡±

    Xuan Sheng reposted the second selfie Weibo post and added, ¡°The original camera was taken so well. It¡¯s beautiful.¡±

    At this moment, the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± that had almost everyone left exploded with poprity.

    Various thoughts about the overbearing CEO and the charming female celebrity popped up. Some people even suspected that the two of them were not really in a rtionship since Xuan Sheng had made such a big scene.

    While everyone was paying attention to Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng, no one noticed that an ount named ¡°Jun Shiling 111111111¡± with 0 fans reposted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    The caption said, ¡°Mine.¡±

    There were also some fans who liked Jun Shiling who had seen this ount when they searched for him. However, no one would think of such a low-level ount that looked like it was browsing Weibo advertisements and selling films belonged to Jun Shiling.

    Some fans could not stand it and leftments.

    ¡°Brother, wash up and sleep. What are you dreaming about? Also, can you change your name? What¡¯s the point of blindly using my husband¡¯s name? Do you really think you can be Jun Shiling just because you have Jun Shiling¡¯s name?¡±

    Jun Shiling, who had just acquired a ten billion assetpany, returned to his office after the meeting and saw thisment.

    ????????

    <h4>Chapter 376: Hubby</h4>

    Jun Shiling originally did not n to care about thisment. Just as he was about to close his Weibo, he realized that the homepage had sent him Xuan Sheng¡¯s Weibo post.

    Jun Shiling frowned when he saw thements on Xuan Sheng¡¯s Weibo that were filled with words like ¡°sopatible¡±, ¡°talented men and women¡± and ¡°get together¡±.

    When he looked at thements on his Weibo, he felt even more aggrieved. He directly deleted thements.

    Xia Wanyuan was reading theizens¡¯ments when Jun Shiling called.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have to work? Why are you calling me now?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. Logically speaking, Jun Shiling was working at this time.

    ¡°I missed you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gloomy voice came from the phone.

    ¡°Young Master Jun, you¡¯ve only been gone for less than three hours.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were smiling.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly.

    Xia Wanyuan was too familiar with Jun Shiling. She had just seen the contents of Xuan Sheng¡¯s Weibo post. From Jun Shiling¡¯s tone, she knew what he was thinking.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was still very calm. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up. I still have a script to read.¡±

    ¡°Alright, bye.¡± Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s impatience, Jun Shiling paused for a moment before hanging up the phone.

    The executives of the Jun Corporation did not know what made the already cold CEO Jun¡¯s temperature drop to below zero. Everyone discussed their work fearfully, afraid that they would be criticized if they were not careful.

    After hanging up the call with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan went to the kitchen. ¡°Nanny Li, Jun Shiling likes the braised pork you made yesterday. Teach me how to cook it.¡±

    An hour passed in the bodies of the managers, but ten years in the spirit. Finally, the clock pointed to twelve.

    However, Jun Shiling did not seem to let everyone go for lunch. He even prepared to continue discussing the next n.

    ¡°Okay, then the assets¡­¡± Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, his private phone rang. Jun Shiling took it and saw that the caller was¡­ Yuan.

    ¡°Hello, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    The executives watched as Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face turned into the warm sun in an instant. They flipped through the documents in their hands and stared at the draft table, but in fact, their ears wished they could stretch out eight hundred meters and hear what the legendary Madam CEO¡¯s voice was like to subdue their living King of Hell, CEO Jun.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, are you not eating lunch?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice sounded.

    ¡°I¡¯ll eat in a while.¡±

    ¡°Go back to the office and eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling only thought that Xia Wanyuan had called to remind him to eat. Even so, Jun Shiling still listened to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright, the meeting is over. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±

    As Jun Shiling flipped through the meeting records that Lin Jing had just tidied up, he walked into the office. He took a step into the door and realized that Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa with a sweet smile.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes lit up. He threw the documents on the table, sat beside Xia Wanyuan, hugged her, and kissed her on the forehead.

    ¡°I smell jealousy on CEO Jun. Let¡¯s see if the Jun Corporation has bought any vinegar factory.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with a faint smile.

    Jun Shiling paused. ¡°Nonsense.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the chopsticks to Jun Shiling and opened the lunch box.

    Jun Shiling nced at the food and a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°You made it.¡±

    ¡°Mm, eat quickly.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°Then what do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°You.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan punched Jun Shiling¡¯s chest and pretended to get up. ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to eat. I¡¯m going back, so don¡¯t eat anymore.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t, I was wrong.¡± Jun Shilingforted Xia Wanyuan and picked up a piece of meat with a bowl and chopsticks. It was the dish he had picked up a few more times for dinnerst night. He didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to even notice this, and Jun Shiling¡¯s heart filled with warmth.

    After Jun Shiling finished eating, Xia Wanyuan even specially brewed a cup of tea for him. For the first time, she took the initiative to obediently nestle in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°How are you feeling now?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Speak your mind.¡±

    ¡°I want to visit Xuan Sheng this afternoon.¡±

    As expected, when Xia Wanyuan said this, Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on her waist tightened.

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan hesitated, Jun Shiling had already guessed what she wanted to do. After all, without Xuan Sheng, Xia Wanyuan would not havested so long, but he could not help but feel sour.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Jun Shiling pursed his lips. It was only right for her to visit Xuan Sheng, and he trusted her.

    Although Jun Shiling spoke magnanimously, the hands at his waist had already wrapped around her especially tightly.

    ¡°How can you be so jealous?¡± Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°I¡¯lle back after taking a look. Smile, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°I can be not jealous, but you have to promise me something.¡± Although Jun Shiling felt a little sour, it was only right for Xia Wanyuan to visit Xuan Sheng. He had never thought of stopping her.

    However, seeing how worried Xia Wanyuan was about his unhappiness, Jun Shiling suddenly had an idea.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over and whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, causing her ears to turn red.

    ¡°Okay?¡± Jun Shiling stepped back a little and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a smile in his eyes.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say how could you be like this, but she saw Jun Shiling lower his head in low spirits.

    Xia Wanyuan made up her mind. Since they didn¡¯t n to get a divorce, they were husband and wife anyway. It was nothing to make him happy.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and called out softly in Jun Shiling¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Hubby.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who had his head lowered, suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a smile and mes that were gradually rising.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave, but Jun Shiling pressed her down on the sofa.

    ¡°Why are you so easy to bully?¡± Jun Shiling seemed to sigh emotionally, his eyes filled with love.

    Lin Jing had been in a meeting with Jun Shiling and did not know that Xia Wanyuan hade today. As usual, he had brought Jun Shiling food.

    Hearing the knock on the door, the figures entangled on the sofa paused.

    Xia Wanyuan finally found a chance to catch her breath. She pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±

    Lin Jing knocked on the door three times. Seeing no reaction, he was about to knock again when the door opened.

    ¡°I¡¯m not eating lunch today. Take it away,¡± Jun Shiling said with a cold expression.

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± Lin Jing turned around respectfully, his heart surging.

    Even though it was just a nce, he knew that Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the office.

    And Jun Shiling¡¯s wrinkled shirt.?<i>Tsk, CEO Jun is already blooming. I¡¯m still a single dog. Life is too difficult.</i>

    Not long after Lin Jing left, Xia Wanyuan packed up and left the office.

    Xuan Sheng was lying by the fish pool and casting bait when the butler suddenly came over.

    ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s a woman outside who wants to see you.¡±

    ¡°What kind of messy woman is this? I won¡¯t see her. Get her out.¡± Xuan Sheng crossed his legs, his eyes exuding an evil charm.

    ¡°Young Master, she said her surname is Xia.¡±

 Chapter 377 - Visiting Xuan Sheng

    <h4>Chapter 377: Visiting Xuan Sheng</h4>

    ¡°Xia?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up and he put down his legs. ¡°Then why haven¡¯t you invited her in?¡±

    The corners of the butler¡¯s lips twitched.?<i>¡®You said you were going to kick her out just now.¡¯</i>

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll pick her up myself.¡± Xuan Sheng stood up and strode out the door. The butler was stunned.?<i>What kind of fairy could make our young master so excited?</i>

    When Xuan Sheng happily brought her in, the butler only saw a woman wearing sunsses and a mask. He did not know why Young Master was smiling so happily without even seeing his face.

    The two of them sat in the pavilion. Xuan Sheng dismissed everyone. Only then did Xia Wanyuan take off her mask. Xuan Sheng personally made her a cup of tea.

    ¡°How is your body?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xuan Sheng and saw that his expression was not bad. However, his right wrist was still wrapped in a thick bandage. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes narrowed.

    ¡°My injuries are so serious. I feel like I¡¯m going to die. You have to marry me to make me happy.¡± Xuan Sheng winked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Has it scabbed?¡± Xia Wanyuan was already used to the teasing in Xuan Sheng¡¯s words. She pretended not to hear and pressed on.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m used to bumping into things since I was young. These are all small injuries. I¡¯ll be fine in a few days.¡± Feeling the genuine concern in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Xuan Sheng felt a little unnatural.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xuan Sheng seriously and took out a small box from her bag. ¡°I know you don¡¯tck money either. These are a few songs that I specially recorded for calming the heart. I¡¯ll give them to you. They can help you sleep.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she handed the box to Xuan Sheng. However, Xuan Sheng seemed to be in a daze and didn¡¯t reach out to take it.

    ¡°CEO Xuan?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but call out.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly smiled. Unlike his usual sinister smile, this smile was real. ¡°Has anyone told you that you¡¯re quite a good person?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. She recalled that Jun Shiling had said so before.

    Touching the sudden gentleness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Xuan Sheng recalled that back then in the cave, Xia Wanyuan had subconsciously called out ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    He, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt irritated.

    He, who had been smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve seen my injury and given my gift. Miss Xia, please leave.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this here. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± For some reason, Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Since he had given the order to chase her out, Xia Wanyuan did not stay any longer. She ced the box on the table and stood up to leave.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s distant back, Xuan Sheng opened his mouth. He wanted to keep her, but what was the use of keeping her? She would leave sooner orter. In the end, Xuan Sheng watched Xia Wanyuan leave in silence.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia has already left.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already disappeared at the door, but Xuan Sheng was still looking in that direction. The butler stepped forward to remind him.

    ¡°Move this chair in and keep it properly.¡± Xuan Sheng pointed at the ce where Xia Wanyuan had sat just now. He reached out to take the box on the table and pressed the y button. The gentle music instantly poured out.

    Xuan Sheng put on his headphones and leaned on the recliner with his eyes closed. He listened for the entire afternoon.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan left Xuan Sheng¡¯s house. Seeing that it was still early, she drove to the film studio to see where the production team was progressing. She alsomunicated with Li Heng about the parts she needed to film.

    The car slowly drove into the film studioplex and saw Tang Yin standing in front of Shi Tian in the distance. Shi Tian had an arrogant look and the two of them seemed to be arguing about something. Shi Tian raised her arm and pretended to want to hit Tang Yin.

 Chapter 378 - The Princess Treats to a Meal and Garners Doubts

    <h4>Chapter 378: The Princess Treats to a Meal and Garners Doubts</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan stepped on the elerator and was about to elerate when she saw a handsome man holding Shi Tian¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Let go of me, Liu Xingchuan. Why, you can¡¯t help it when you see your little lover in trouble?¡± After all, Shi Tian had been trained since she was young. She moved her wrist slightly and struggled free, greeting Tang Yin directly.

    Tang Yin wanted to dodge, but she hesitated for a moment because of Liu Xingchuan who was standing at the side.

    ¡°Miss Shi, what a big temper you have.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind. Tang Yin turned around. Xia Wanyuan pulled Tang Yin away and grabbed Shi Tian¡¯s hand that was in midair.

    Shi Tian felt as if her wrist was hurting. Shi Tian wanted to pull back, but she could clearly hear the sound of bones dislocating on her wrist.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Please let go of my wife.¡± The handsome man stepped forward with a gloomy expression.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at this person. She had also seen the gossip about Tang Yin and the rest on the Inte. This man must be Liu Xingchuan.

    ¡°As a man, you let down the person who treats you sincerely and can¡¯t control your own woman. I wonder who you¡¯re showing this look to. Mr. Liu and Miss Shi are actually quitepatible. What do you think, Mr. Liu?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not Tang Yin. She did not care about Liu Xingchuan. After a few words, Liu Xingchuan¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°Damn it, let go of me.¡± Shi Tian¡¯s eyes were filled with tears from the pain.

    Xia Wanyuan finally let go. Shi Tian felt that her hand was about to break.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Tang Yin away and didn¡¯t look at themotion behind her.

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡± When they arrived at the production team, before they could enter, the handsome man they had seen at Tang Yin¡¯s housest time walked towards them.

    ¡°Fu Li, why are you here?¡± Tang Yin¡¯s originally gloomy eyes because of Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin finally had a smile.

    ¡°I came to visit my junior brother.¡± Fu Li looked at Tang Yin worriedly. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Tang Yin smiled.

    Seeing that Tang Yin was fine, only then did Fu Li notice the alluring woman standing beside her. Even though he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he could not help but sigh.?<i>What a beautifuldy.</i>

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Fu Li. You¡¯re Xia Wanyuan, right? No wonder you can make Ah Yin to be a manager again. You¡¯re indeed outstanding.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Fu Li. Seeing that Fu Li¡¯s gaze had been glued to Tang Yin, a look of understanding shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°I have something on, so I¡¯ll go in first. You guys chat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked towards the production team, leaving time for Tang Yin and Fu Li. She felt that this Fu Li looked much better than that Liu Xingchuan.

    Yang Jiu waved at Xia Wanyuan from afar. When he got closer, a group of people surged towards her.

    ¡°Congrattions, congrattions.¡±

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re too amazing!!! Champion! We¡¯ve all heard about it. You¡¯re simply bringing glory to the country. You¡¯re too strong.¡±

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to y the zither so well. When are we going to hear you y?¡±

    ¡­¡­.

    Facing everyone¡¯s enthusiastic praise, Xia Wanyuan smiled and thanked them.

    ¡°You can¡¯t just thank us. It¡¯s such a big deal. Treat us to a meal.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You can¡¯t run away from this meal, Wanyuan.¡± Everyone hooted for Xia Wanyuan to treat them to a meal.

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    Other than Yan Ci, there were actually no big celebrities in the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. The production team was also rtively easygoing and usually took care of Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan agreed to treat everyone to a meal.

    Considering that other than the main cast and crew, there were also arge number of extras and stage assistants in the production team, it might not be realistic to go to a restaurant to eat. There were too many people, so Xia Wanyuan called Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang epted it immediately.

    ¡°Madam, leave this to me. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to discuss with Yang Jiu what she felt she needed to change with the script. When Yang Jiu heard this, he knew that Xia Wanyuan had spent a lot of effort to study the novel and script. He was touched and emotional.

    Soon, it was time to get off work. There was still a night scene at night. Li Heng was about to get the staff to bring dinner in when he saw a person in a white uniform push a sports car into the venue.

    ¡°This is?¡± Li Heng looked at the staff in confusion.

    ¡°I¡¯m treating everyone to a meal. There are many people in the production team, so I moved the dining car here.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I finally don¡¯t have to eat packed lunch anymore. Thank you so much, Wanyuan.¡± Li Hengughed heartily.

    The rows of dining cars were covered with preservation lids. When the staff lifted the lids, everyone was shocked.

    Li Heng widened his eyes as he looked at the tes of delicacies. Western food, Chinese food, white meat, red meat, desserts, vegetables, and fruits were all there.

    ¡°This?¡±

    ¡°Everyone, you¡¯ve worked hard. You can line up to receive your food.¡± Xia Wanyuan praised Uncle Wang in her heart. She didn¡¯t expect Uncle Wang to be able to transport so much food to the base in such a short time.

    Everyone ate packed lunch from the production team every day, but suddenly, it was changed to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. They were all very excited.

    Yan Ci was about to wrap up and go home. When he saw that everyone was eating at the production team, he stayed behind. When the food entered his mouth, Yan Ci¡¯s eyes flickered.

    ¡°This smell, it¡¯s from the Hundred vour Residence, right?¡±

    The Hundred vors Restaurant was a famous restaurant in China. It had always been famous for its expensive and difficult seats. It was a veteran with a long history and a good reputation. Yan Ci nced at therge number of dishes in the hall.

    <i>This Xia Wanyuan was really generous</i>.

    It was not only Yan Ci. There were also some people in the production team who knew what was good. Other than being surprised, they even posted on Weibo to specially praise Xia Wanyuan.

    The person who posted on Weibo had good intentions. Initially, those who saw this Weibo post were envious of the good benefits of the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s generosity.

    However, one of thements became the fuse that triggered the conflict between fans.

    ¡°¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ brags about its big production every day. The rich production team hasn¡¯t given the production team any benefits. Look at how awesome ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ is.¡±

    ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± and ¡°Moon As Frost¡± were originally two works with different topics. Logically speaking, there was no conflict of interest, but because the director of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± had openly and secretly mocked ¡°Moon As Frost¡± for being a small production, the fans of the two families had always been a little hostile.

    This was great. A casual sentence from a passer-by ignited the fans of both families.

    Some fans of ¡°Moon Pce As Frost¡± calcted the price of the meal Xia Wanyuan had treated. ording to the market price of the Hundred vors House and the number of dishes at that time,

    The meal that Xia Wanyuan had invited was worth nearly 1.5 million dors.

    This attracted everyone¡¯s attention.?<i>Treating people to a meal worth a house? What kind of rich person was this?</i>

 Chapter 379 - The Princess Chairman Identity Exposed

    <h4>Chapter 379: The Princess¡¯ Chairman Identity Exposed</h4>

    After all, in everyone¡¯s impression, Xia Wanyuan was someone whose family had gone bankrupt. No matter how they looked at it, she didn¡¯t look like someone who could spend one or two million to treat someone to a meal.

    [ Tsk, tsk. What a rich person. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family bankrupt? Her father is no longer in the Xia familypany. Where did she get so much money? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t it obvious?? She clearly found a sugar daddy. But she¡¯s so good-looking. If I were a sugar daddy, I would be willing to spend tens of millions to support her. ]

    [ You¡¯re crazy. You¡¯re the only sugar daddy? Why don¡¯t you look in the mirror and see what you look like? Dream on. After all, she has been a celebrity for so many years. A million dors might be a sky-high price for people like you, but it¡¯s not so much to others, okay? ]

    The matter of treating someone to a meal worth more than a million quickly became a trending topic among the fans of the two families.

    The Chineseizens had always had Bolt¡¯s speed and Conan¡¯s method of investigation.

    There were some things that no one paid special attention to usually, but once one followed the traces to dig, they would discover many things that were buried under the day-to-day.

    Someizens found the Weibo picture that Xia Wanyuan had just posted and circled a few points.

    @ Summer is here, it¡¯s time to eat watermelon. ¡°Just look at the things ced on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s picture. Do you see this television? 370 inch screen, 4K ultra-high-definition disy, market price is 12.8 million RMB. This table, yellow sandalwood. With this level of carving, I¡¯ll take down my head if it¡¯s less than five million RMB.

    As for the vase beside the television, I don¡¯t dare to say if it¡¯s real. If it¡¯s really the Phoenix Feather enamel vase, this vase could buy a vi in Beijing.

    This was just a small corner of the room, so it was really a piece of cake for someone to spend more than a million dors to treat someone to a meal.

    But speaking of which, isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan bankrupt? Where did she get so much money?? ¡±

    [ Oh my god¡­ poverty has really limited my imagination, leaving behind tears of envy. ]

    [ I want to pick up trash beside Xia Wanyuan¡¯s house and be rich by picking up trash. ]

    [ The person in front who picked up the trash brought me along, but I just fell in love with Xia Wanyuan, and she exposed this kind of news to me. She¡¯s simply not good. Can¡¯t she just film properly? Why must she be a mistress? ]

    [ I heard from the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡± that I often see a Rolls-Royce Phantom pick Xia Wanyuan up. I heard that one time, the window was open and I saw a man¡¯s back inside. Could it be Xuan Sheng? ]

    [ So Xuan Sheng did not chase celebrities with such great fanfare but really kept Xia Wanyuan? No wonder Yan Ci went to a production team like ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Could he have been forced to go? ]

    With this reminder, Yan Ci¡¯s fans thought of the small production of the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Many radical fans directly joined the army that mocked Xia Wanyuan.

    China was a country that cared a lot about public appearances. When female celebrities exposed such a scandal, their image would be greatly reduced. The people who had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan because she had won the gold award in the musicpetition gradually disappeared.

    Some fans wanted to defend Xia Wanyuan and suggested, ¡°Perhaps Xuan Sheng is really in a rtionship with Xia Wanyuan? Being in a rtionship is not a kept woman. Xuan Sheng is so rich, so it¡¯s normal for him to spend money on Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Fans of the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± were also filled with hope, thinking that their CP had finallye true.

    However, Xuan Sheng did not reply for a long time.

    [ Hahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. What do you mean by wishful thinking? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t it awkward? Why are you rushing to stick to the crown prince of Glory World? Don¡¯t you know if you¡¯re worthy? ]

    [ Xuan Sheng probably didn¡¯t expect the goddess in his eyes to be like this. ]

    [ I think you¡¯re the ones who are embarrassed. A group of idiots who criticize others for being kept for no reason. Go and take a look at the Xia familypany¡¯s official Weibo ount and wait for you to p your faces. ]

    Everyone followed the melon-eating tour guide and found the Xia familypany¡¯s official Weibo ount, ¡°Summer Wind Corporation¡±.

    Xiafeng Corporation was worlds apart from the Jun Corporation, but in China, it was considered a first-rate corporation and was considered outstanding in some industries.

    The official Weibo ount of the Xiafeng Group, which had been in a long bankruptcy dispute, had not been updated for a long time. Today, it was an exception.

    @ Xiafeng Group: ¡°After the equity change and the adjustment of internal staff, Xiafeng Group is already on a new journey. Currently, Xiafeng Group has solved the capital chain problem and the scale of the corporation has expanded further. Now, we¡¯ll announce to the public our current situation.¡±

    The zeroes on the series of profits allowed everyone to see that the Summer Wind Corporation had stood higher than before.

    The most eye-catching were thepany¡¯s structure and board of shareholders¡¯ settings.

    On the Chairman¡¯s column, the words ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡± were clearly written.

    Aizen carefully asked below.

    ¡°Is this Xia Wanyuan the Xia Wanyuan from the entertainment industry?¡±

    The official Weibo ount specially replied to thisment, ¡°Yes.¡±

    [ F*ck? A reality version of a beautiful female CEO? ]

    [ That¡¯s why she doesn¡¯t need to be kept at all! Although Xiafeng Group can¡¯tpare to arge corporation, it¡¯s still a rtively famous corporation. ]

    [ Boohoo, my goddess can¡¯t be more outstanding. Yuan Yuan, how many more surprises do you have that I don¡¯t know? ]

    [ She must be one in name. She¡¯s an actress. Does she know how to manage thepany? What¡¯s there to brag about? ]

    [ The person in front, continue to be sour. So what if she¡¯s one in name? Do people put your name there, just because you want to? ]

    Aizen specially went to check thepany¡¯s business information. It did show that thepany¡¯s chairman had been changed from Xia Yuanqing to Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, the rumor that Xia Wanyuan was a kept woman broke.

    In fact, Xia Wanyuan even inexplicably gained a group of wife fans who shouted, ¡°Hubby, I want to bear your children!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was speechless.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to her normal filming life. However, due to the exposure of her identity as the chairman of the Xiafeng Group, Xia Wanyuan was more respected in the production team than before.

    After a period of recuperation, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg injury had almost healed.

    Because it was a domestic drama, Xia Wanyuan was an underground worker in theter stages of the drama, so she was involved in many action scenes.

    Xia Wanyuan had a foundation in martial arts, so she didn¡¯t use a substitute.

    Li Heng and Xia Wanyuan had especially high expectations for fighting scenes. After several scenes, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was already covered in a thinyer of sweat.

    ¡°Rest for a while, Wanyuan. Just now, they said that someone was looking for you at the door and asked you to go over.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was a little tired, Li Heng let her rest for a while.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wiped the sweat off her face and walked to the door. She met a pair of gentle and smiling eyes.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡±

 Chapter 380 - Cancel the Operation

    <h4>Chapter 380: Cancel the Operation</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°Hello, why are you here?¡±

    Ever since she was coaxed by Jun Shiling to call him ¡®Brother¡¯ a few times during their intimacy, Xia Wanyuan had been too embarrassed to call others¡¯ Brother.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alienation, a hint of disappointment shed across Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes, but then he smiled gently.

    ¡°I heard that you were injured and wanted toe and see if you were okay.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m almost healed now. I was just filming. It¡¯s nothing serious.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°Can I go in and watch you film? If you think it¡¯s rude, then just forget it.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s open to public, so you can just watch from the side.¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s permission, Wei Zimu entered the production team.

    Everyone noticed this person who looked bright and clean and asked who he was.

    ¡°This is a rtive of mine. He came by to take a look,¡± Xia Wanyuan exined.

    Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu¡¯s rtionship looked very clear, so everyone didn¡¯t probe further.

    The subsequent scenes were mainly filmed after Xia Wanyuan became an underground member. She mixed into the various gatherings in Shanghai Beach, gathered intelligence, and sent it out.

    The scene involved many seemingly dangerous actions. The people in the scene seemed to be used to it, but Wei Zimu¡¯s face was filled with genuine worry.

    Xia Wanyuan asionally nced at his gaze and felt that there was warmth in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes.

    Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan had already filmed most of the scenes she needed to film today. Wei Zimu stood up. ¡°Let me send you home.¡±

    ¡°No need.¡±?<i>Wouldn¡¯t he know that I was staying in the manor if he sent me home??</i>Hence, Xia Wanyuan rejected him directly.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just send you off for a while, just to the square. Grandma asked me to bring you something. I¡¯ll tell you about it on the way.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    Wei Zimu followed Xia Wanyuan into her car, sat in the back, and lowered the window.

    ¡°Sir, the air conditioner is on in the car. Can you roll up the window?¡± The chauffeur looked at the open window and could not help but remind him.

    ¡°It¡¯s a little stuffy in the car. I¡¯ll switch it off after for a while,¡± Wei Zimu exined gently.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was suspicious, but she could not sense any danger from Wei Zimu. This was what confused her.

    Old Madam Wei also knew that Xia Wanyuan was the chairman of the Xiafeng Group. She got Wei Zimu to bring over a proposal and wanted to cooperate with the Xiafeng Group on a project.

    In the dark, the satellite signal was cut off for a moment. A group of guards hiding in the shadows of Beijing were also lured away. The ck car Xia Wanyuan was riding seemed to have entered an unprotected vacuum.

    The heavy truck that had long been prepared adjusted the route and stepped on the elerator.

    A gentle side profile suddenly appeared in the vision mirror. The personmanding in the dark immediately shouted, ¡°Wait a minute, get the chauffeur to change direction. Cancel the operation!!!¡±

    Once arge truck started, it would not be so easy to cancel its direction. However, the truck driver heard themand and spun the steering wheel to death without caring about the consequences. The truck led the way and crashed into the roadside fence, rushing into the moat. Instantly, mes surged.

    The huge collision attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Xia Wanyuan looked up and frowned.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, I¡¯ve already shown you the proposal. Put me down at the intersection in front.¡± Wei Zimu gently called back Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Wei Zimu took out a beautifully packaged box. ¡°I saw this when I was on a business trip. I tasted it and thought it was delicious, so I brought some for you.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu ced the candy box beside Xia Wanyuan and pushed open the car door. ¡°Goodbye.¡±

    ¡°Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved.

    The car door closed. Xia Wanyuan opened the candy box. The sweets were packaged into all sorts of animals and were very cute. It was best to use them to make children happy.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked at the raging mes behind her. The fire brigade was roaring as they approached, but under such arge fire, it was probably difficult for anyone to survive.

    After returning to the manor, she was about to tell Jun Shiling about this when she was attracted by the two invitations on the table.

 Chapter 381 - Number 1 at Tricking the Dad

    <h4>Chapter 381: Number 1 at Tricking the Dad</h4>

    The invitation was very exquisite. Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it.

    So it was Bo Xiao¡¯s 24th birthday party.

    One was for Jun Shiling, and the other was for Xia Wanyuan.

    Even if Jun Shiling had not told Bo Xiao that he and Xia Wanyuan did not n to publicize it for the time being, with Bo Xiao¡¯s ability to sense it, he had long discovered it. Hence, he carefully distributed two invitations and sent them to the manor.

    She looked at the time. June 13th. That was the day after tomorrow.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± A pair of arms wrapped around her waist. The heat pounced on her ear. Xia Wanyuan could not help but shrink her shoulders, causing the person behind her to hug her even tighter.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you make a sound when you walk?¡±

    ¡°You were too focused.¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a day. I missed you so much.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears heated up. ¡°Got it.¡±

    ¡°Did you miss me?¡± Jun Shiling chuckled when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flushed ears.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Let go of me quickly. Xiao Bao will be back soon.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down the invitation and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Good boy.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling was satisfied.

    However, thinking of his scammy son, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes narrowed.

    Because he and Xia Wanyuan had gone to Continent O for nearly a week and had not brought Xiao Bao along, Xiao Bao relied on Xia Wanyuan to pamper him. Every night, he would hug Xia Wanyuan and not let go, not even wanting his favorite bear doll. Jun Shiling could only curl up in the corner of the bed and sleep alone every night.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m back. The teacher praised me today!¡±

    Jun Shiling was about to say that it was time to let Xiao Bao sleep alone and not spoil him all the time when Xiao Bao¡¯s familiar running sound came in. Jun Shiling hurriedly let go.

    Xiao Bao ran in with a little red flower in his hand. The nanny could not follow him.

    ¡°Mommy, look. The little red flower that Teacher rewarded me with is for you.¡± Xiao Bao leaned over and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg, handing the little flower to her.

    ¡°Good boy, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head, bent down, and kissed him on the cheek.

    ¡°Hehe, Mommy is better than me. Mommy is the best person in the world.¡±

    Xiao Bao:?<i>Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number one fan in the universe.</i>

    ¡°Go and wash your hands and eat.¡± Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan kiss and rub Xiao Bao¡¯s head from the side, and his heart ached.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao, who had received Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise, did not care how bad Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was. He happily followed the nanny to wash his hands.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and found it funny. Seeing that the servants were not in the living room, the nanny brought Xiao Bao to wash his hands.

    Suddenly, she walked up and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek, then held his hand. ¡°You¡¯re even jealous of your son.¡±

    Sensing the moist warmth on his face, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes lit up. His burning gaze at Xia Wanyuan was about to burn her to ashes.

    ¡°Can I send Jun Yin to Grandpa tomorrow?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes burned.

    ¡°Eat, eat. What are you thinking about all day?¡± Xia Wanyuan bit her lip, pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away, and walked towards the dining table. Coincidentally, Xiao Bao had finished washing his hands, so Jun Shiling did not say anything else.

    ¡°Daddy, I want to eat prawns too. Can you peel them for me too?¡± Halfway through the meal, Xiao Bao was envious as he watched Jun Shiling throw chubby prawns into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl one by one.

    <i>Daddy had never peeled prawns for me!</i>

    ¡°You are a man. Do it yourself.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao andpletely ignored his expectant gaze.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how to.¡± Xiao Bao pouted. Seeing that Jun Shiling was ignoring him, he looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan could not bear to see the little dumpling¡¯s soft and expectant gaze. She reached out to peel it for Xiao Bao, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

    ¡°Let me teach you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao. ¡°A boy wants your mother to peel prawns for you. Isn¡¯t it embarrassing?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xiao Bao picked up a te of prawns and slipped off the chair, then ced the te in front of Jun Shiling. He hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and snuggled into his arms.

    However, during this period of time, Xiao Bao had been fed all sorts of delicious food by Old Master Jun in the courtyard. In addition, he was especially cute and had been fed food by Old Master Jun¡¯s old friends, so he had indeed gained some weight.

    Xiao Bao rubbed himself against Jun Shiling for a long time, but his short legs still did not climb into his arms.

    Jun Shiling could only remove his gloves and carried Xiao Bao to hisp. He frowned. ¡°Jun Yin, you¡¯ve really gained weight. Starting tomorrow morning, run for half an hour in the morning.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not fat!! I¡¯m baby fat!! Cute!!¡± Xiao Bao wanted to protest, but Jun Shiling nced over and Xiao Bao obediently shut his mouth.

    ¡°Look, remove the prawn tail like this first.¡± Jun Shiling began to teach Xiao Bao how to peel the prawns step by step. Xiao Bao had little strength, so Jun Shiling helped him break the shell before letting Xiao Bao peel it himself.

    Although he was not very proficient at first, Xiao Bao had inherited their high intelligence after all, so he quickly peeled it properly.

    Finally, Xiao Bao peeled a chubby prawn, but he did not eat it himself. Instead, he handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, try the one I peeled.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and took it, putting it in her mouth. Then, she gave Xiao Bao a thumbs up. ¡°It¡¯s super delicious.¡±

    Xiao Bao smiled and peeled another one happily. This time, he brought the prawn meat to Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth. ¡°Daddy, this is for you.¡±

    Although he was often punished by Jun Shiling for being mischievous, and would always argue and say, ¡°Bad Daddy, I don¡¯t want to like you anymore.¡± In Xiao Bao¡¯s heart, he still relied on Jun Shiling very much.

    Jun Shiling ate the prawn meat that Xiao Bao had brought to his mouth in one bite, his eyes filled with warmth. ¡°You peeled it pretty well.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, of course ~¡± Jun Shiling had never praised people much. Now that he had been praised by Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao¡¯s little tail was about to float.

    Finally, he peeled the third prawn. This time, Xiao Bao finally fed himself.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the two simr faces at the side. The warm light shone on them, and Xia Wanyuan deeply understood what the words ¡°peaceful time¡± meant.

    The next day, before Jun Shiling could say that he was going to send Xiao Bao to the courtyard, Old Master Jun called the manor.

    Thest time they met was after Xia Wanyuan was injured. The old master had personallye to visit, but because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injury, the family did not have a proper meal. Now that Xia Wanyuan had recovered, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had not been to the courtyard for a long time, so the old master wanted to call her over for a meal.

    When Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao to the courtyard, not only was the old master in the courtyard, but there was also an exquisitely dressed olddy who was not far from the old master.

 Chapter 382 - Grandaunt?

    <h4>Chapter 382: Grandaunt?</h4>

    ¡°Great-grandfather! I¡¯m here!!¡± The door was pushed open. Xiao Bao, who was dressed in a sea costume today, flew to Old Master Jun like a wave.

    ¡°My good boy is here. Come, call Great-grandma.¡± Seeing Xiao Baoe over, the old master was extremely happy. He hugged Xiao Bao on hisp, then pointed at the olddy sitting opposite him.

    ¡°Hello, Great-grandma,¡± Xiao Bao greeted softly.

    The olddy with exquisite makeup nodded and replied as she sized him up, ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Look, sister, I told you, but you didn¡¯t believe me. My great-grandson is very obedient, right?¡± Speaking of Xiao Bao, Old Master Jun¡¯s eyes were filled with pride.

    He had just told his sister, whom he had not seen for many years, that Jun Shiling was already married and had a child, but she did not believe him.

    Now that she saw Xiao Bao, the old madam finally believed him.

    ¡°He looks quite smart, but he¡¯s too lively. It¡¯s time for an old child like him to start learning the rules.¡± The olddy¡¯s reaction was a little cold.

    Xiao Bao looked at the olddy curiously. He acutely sensed that this great-grandmother did not seem to like him very much.

    ¡°Good child, where are your parents?¡± The old master looked towards the door and asked Xiao Bao when he did not see Jun Shiling or Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°When I got out of the car just now, Mommy saw someone selling ice powder beside me. She said she wanted to try it, so Daddy went to buy it with her. I missed Great-grandfather! I didn¡¯t even eat the ice powder before I came to look for you!!¡±

    Xiao Bao clung onto the old man¡¯s arm tightly, his face filled with praise. The old man was overjoyed by Xiao Bao¡¯s words. ¡°Good boy. Great-grandfather will get someone to bring you candyter.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao cheered happily.

    ¡°Jun Yin, get off your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather is old, don¡¯t jump on him.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice came from the door.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao obediently got off the old man, but he still hugged his arm and did not let go.

    ¡°Long time no see, Shiling. Shiling, you have grown up.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling, the olddy sitting in the courtyard finally smiled.

    However, Jun Shiling did not walk into the courtyard directly. Instead, he held the door. ¡°Slow down.¡±

    Wearing a light green embroidered short skirt, Xia Wanyuan walked in with a bowl of ice powder that contained colorful fruits.

    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Old Master smiled and got Uncle Liu to bring two chairs over.

    ¡°Grandpa.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan greeted Old Master together.

    ¡°Hey, Ah Ling, this is your great aunt. Do you remember?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the olddy sitting and called out, ¡°Grandaunt.¡±

    ¡°Hey, that¡¯s great. When I got married and went to Ennd, you were still a child. In the blink of an eye, you¡¯ve grown so handsome. Time really flies.¡± The olddy looked at Jun Shiling with admiration.

    Back then, she had married into Ennd¡¯s royal family and be the Duchess of the York family in Ennd. Over the years, she had seen countless young talents, but none of them couldpare to her grandnephew.

    ¡°Grandaunt,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling.

    Madam York sized up Xia Wanyuan and nced at the ice powder in her hand.

    Displeasure shed across her eyes.?<i>She was quite pretty, but she had no rules.</i>

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard that Shiling is married?¡± Madam York seemed to have ignored Xia Wanyuan¡¯s greeting. Logically speaking, with Jun Shiling¡¯s status, if he was married and had a child, it should be a worldwide sensation.

    ¡°I¡¯m worried about my granddaughter-inw¡¯s career. I¡¯ll tell everyone when the time is ripe,¡± Old Master replied.

    ¡°What career?¡±

    ¡°I know!!¡± Xiao Bao suddenly jumped out. ¡°Mommy is a celebrity! She¡¯s in a drama! She¡¯s super beautiful!!¡±

    ¡°Celebrity?¡± Madam York¡¯s eyes flickered.?<i>No wonder they did not publicize it. She had probably only given birth to a child for Jun Shiling. She was a small celebrity who could not be shown off, so she was so unruly.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that this was the old master¡¯s rtive and was about tomunicate with her more. Seeing Madam York¡¯s gaze, she knew what she was thinking.

    Xia Wanyuan immediately gave up onmunicating with her. Without waiting for this noble olddy to reply to her greeting, she carried the ice powder and sat on the chair beside her.

 Chapter 383 - Truly Unrivaled Honor

    <h4>Chapter 383: Truly Unrivaled Honor</h4>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, Madam York¡¯s impression of her worsened.

    And Jun Shiling actually had no opinion about her unruly behavior.

    Madam York frowned slightly.?<i>He was a young person after all. Even someone as outstanding as Jun Shiling could not resist the temptation of a young and beautiful woman.</i>

    ¡°I want to drink water.¡± Xia Wanyuan ate half a ss of ice powder and felt that her throat was a little dry.

    ¡°I¡¯ll pour it for you,¡± Jun Shiling said as he walked into the house to pour water for Xia Wanyuan.

    Having maintained the etiquette of a Duchess for many years, Madam York already disliked Xia Wanyuan very much, but she only frowned slightly.

    Having been in Ennd for many years, Madam York, who was already used to life there, and she regarded etiquette more important than anything else, so she was unwilling to eat with chopsticks anymore. Hence, Old Master Jun specially prepared a separate western meal for his sister.

    There were many Sichuan dishes on the table. Xia Wanyuan tried eating a few mouthfuls of Spicy Boiled Fish. It was so spicy that her face was covered in a thinyer of sweat.

    Jun Shiling dipped his handkerchief in ice water and carefully wiped her face. Xia Wanyuan seemed to be used to Jun Shiling¡¯s actions and ate herself.

    Old Master Jun¡¯s gaze circled Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, and he could not help but smile. From the looks of it, their rtionship was getting better.

    It was probably not far from the day he would show off in front of his oldrades, holding hands with a little great-grandson.

    Unlike Old Master, Madam York looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sweating face and felt even more disdainful.?<i>She was indeed an actress who could not be taught. How could the wife of the head of the Jun family be such a woman?</i>

    After dinner, Jun Shiling had note to the Old Master for a long time. The Old Master had something to tell him alone, so the grandfather and grandson stayed in the study.

    The old master liked to raise flowers, birds, and insects in the backyard. Uncle Liu was extremely happy to catch fish with Xiao Bao in the backyard.

    Xia Wanyuan ate a little spicy at noon and her stomach felt a little ufortable, so she did not apany Xiao Bao. Instead, she took off her shoes and leaned on the sofa to digest her food.

    ¡°Which school did you graduate from? What major did you major in?¡± Madam York took her exquisite steps and sat opposite Xia Wanyuan. Her sitting posture was so standard that it was as if she was being held by a ruler.

    Be it the angle of her feet, the way she folded her hands, or the size of the chair, they undoubtedly disyed the etiquette of Ennd¡¯s royal family and showed her status as the Duchess.

    ¡°XX University, history major,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied ording to the original owner¡¯s educational background.

    Madam York searched her mind for the top 100 schools in the world and realized that there was no such school as Xia Wanyuan had mentioned.?<i>What history major?? What was the use of learning this?</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for my brother to say some things, but I have to remind you.¡± Madam York looked at Xia Wanyuan casually leaning on the sofa, and her brows furrowed even more tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t think about things you don¡¯t deserve.¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she nced at Madam York, who was sitting upright. ¡°Then I want to tell you something too.¡±

    ¡°Please speak.¡±

    ¡°A true noble doesn¡¯t need to be decorated with etiquette, Madam York.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. Even though she was lying casually on the sofa, she could not hide her noble aura.

    It was the noble royal bloodline that came from the bones. It was the arrogance tempered by many years of governing and receiving the worship of the people. It was the aura that made people submit from the inside out.

    Madam York originally wanted to retort Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, but she did not expect to be so shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura that she forgot what she wanted to say.

    By the time she reacted, Xia Wanyuan had already turned her head and was reading the book in her hand.

    ¡°You¡¯re bluffing.¡± Madam York was originally puzzled that Xia Wanyuan had such a strong aura, but on second thought, she heard that this person was an actor and her acting skills seemed to be not bad.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored Madam York, and Madam York did not speak to her again.

    More than an hourter, Jun Shiling and Old Master finally came out of the study.

    ¡°Have you waited long?¡± The moment Jun Shiling came out, he came straight to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Not really.¡±

    ¡°Are you still feeling ufortable?¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan up and asked worriedly.

    ¡°Mm, I think I ate too much spicy food for lunch.¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly, her stomach feeling a little ufortable.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s tell Grandpa that we¡¯ll go back early,¡± Jun Shiling said and went to look for Old Master.

    Initially, the old master wanted to let Xiao Bao stay, but Madam York found the hotel too dirty and wanted to stay in the courtyard. Jun Shiling was afraid that Xiao Bao would disturb the two elders, so he brought Xiao Bao back to the manor.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Mom, look at how arrogant Bo Xiao is. It¡¯s not even his fiftieth birthday, and he¡¯s holding such a grand event as if he¡¯s afraid that others won¡¯t know that he has returned to Beijing. Dad is the same. He actually let him do whatever he wants.¡± Bo Yi was especially unhappy when he saw that the house was decorated very beautifully to celebrate Bo Xiao¡¯s birthday.

    ¡°What are you afraid of? That Bo Xiao hasn¡¯t returned to Beijing in so many years. How many people do you think wille for his birthday? If he makes it so grand, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be a joke.¡± Mo Ling smiled coldly.?<i>In a rich family, Bo Xiao was just a young master who had no presence. Who would waste time attending his banquet?</i>

 Chapter 384 - Coveting Master Jun?

    <h4>Chapter 384: Coveting Master Jun?</h4>

    Bo Yi counted. Bo Xiao really did not have many friends. The only few ssmates he had were recruited by Bo Yi as his friends after Bo Xiao left the country.

    Ever since he could remember, Bo Yi had been secretly watching Bo Xiao have so many things that he did not have. Hence, ever since he was young, he had sworn in his heart that he would snatch away everything about Bo Xiao, including his friends.

    Bo Yi called Bo Xiao¡¯s ssmates and was puzzled when he learned that they did not receive an invitation.?<i>If he did not invite these people, how would Bo Xiao have other friends?</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my brother¡¯s birthday is tomorrow. I don¡¯t think he has many friends. Why don¡¯t you guyse over tomorrow night? You haven¡¯t seen my brother in a long time, right?¡±

    Since Bo Yi had spoken, the others naturally agreed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Not long after Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left, Madam York received a video call.

    After teasing the bird, the old master returned to his room and saw his sister talking to the person on the phone with a smile.

    ¡°Ruth, call him Great-grandfather.¡± Madam York turned the camera towards Old Master. In the video was an extremely beautiful Chinese face, but there was an exotic look in her eyes.

    ¡°Hello, Great-grandfather.¡± Thedy in the video was very polite. She even stood up and bowed to the old master.

    ]¡±Hello, this is?¡±

    ¡°This is my grand niece, Li Qingxue.¡± Madam York paused for a moment and added, ¡°She¡¯s from my husband¡¯s bloodline. She¡¯s not rted to me by blood and is a girl raised by an artistic family. Her father is Li Jia, a Chinese businessman who has just been conferred the title of duke by Ennd¡¯s royal family.¡±

    ¡°A very outstanding girl.¡± Old Master nodded.

    ¡°Great-grandfather, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Although Li Qingxue had grown up in Ennd, she had received the nurturing of China¡¯s culture. Speaking of which, she was not much inferior to the daughters of wealthy families in China.

    ¡°You guys chat. I¡¯ll go to the backyard to take a look.¡± Old Master was worried about the fish in his backyard and hurriedly wanted to go to the backyard.

    After Old Master left, Madam York asked Li Qingxue about her studies. Seeing that Li Qingxue was hesitating, Madam York understood.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen my grandnephew. It¡¯s been many years since west met, and he has indeed grown into an extremely outstanding person. No wonder you can remember him from so many years ago.¡±

    Li Qingxue lowered her head, her eyes filled with embarrassment.

    Li Qingxue was from a prestigious family and she was a student of a top-notch school. She was outstanding in all aspects. Furthermore, the Li family and the York family had a close rtionship. Madam York had long wanted Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue to be together.

    If they could recruit Jun Shiling, the York family could do whatever they wanted in the world.

    It had been many years since she had returned to China. Ever since she had be the Duchess, she had been too busy to leave. This time, she hade back to celebrate the Old Master¡¯s seventieth birthday. One was to meet her brother, whom she had not seen for many years, and the other was toe back and visit this especially outstanding grandnephew.

    ¡°Grandaunt, I¡¯m about to graduate. I want to submit a resume and intern at the Jun Corporation. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°With such an outstanding resume, there¡¯s definitely no problem.¡± Seeing Li Qingxue¡¯s expectant look, Madam York did not want to discourage her.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Madam York frowned slightly. However, she was ultimately an actress who could not be shown off. The Jun family would definitely not marry such a woman. As for that child, Madam York thought that she would tell Li Qingxue about it when she found the right opportunity.

    As long as she had the status of the Madam of the Jun family, Li Qingxue¡¯s children in the future would be the most respected in the Jun family. It was fine to raise another child.

    When she married the Duke of York, he had his own child. Wasn¡¯t it her child who had inherited the title?

    With Madam York¡¯s guarantee, Li Qingxue was relieved and sent the Jun Corporation an application resume.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    When Jun Shiling and his family returned to the manor, Xiao Bao received all sorts of sses and training as usual. He followed the teacher with a bitter expression.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu over.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was a little pale, Jun Shiling was worried and wanted Shen Xiu toe and check.

    ¡°You can¡¯t eat so much chili next time.¡± Jun Shiling poured a ss of water for Xia Wanyuan and fed her.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t even let me eat at the manor, but you won¡¯t let me eat at Grandpa¡¯s house?¡± Although her stomach felt a little ufortable, Xia Wanyuan felt that the spicy boiled fish tasted really good. She even wanted to have another meal at night, but seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that this was a delusion.

    ¡°I¡¯ll feel ufortable with you even after eating.¡± Jun Shiling gently knocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead, his eyes filled with helplessness.

    Not long after, Shen Xiu came and checked.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with Madam. It¡¯s mainly because she hasn¡¯t touched spicy food for a long time. Her stomach reacted a little when she suddenly ate too spicy food. Drink more warm water and don¡¯t eat spicy food for the time being. She¡¯ll be fine soon.¡±

    ¡°Did you hear that? You¡¯re not allowed to eat spicy food anymore.¡± Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and looked at her with indulgent eyes.

    Shen Xiu quietly nced at the two of them, who were exuding a sweet aura.

    Thinking of how his sister, who had overturned the heavens, would nag at him every day, ¡°Will my husband be seduced by that little vixen if he shoots with Xia Wanyuan every day?¡± ¡°If Xia Wanyuan dares to covet my husband, I¡¯ll definitely defame her.¡± Shen Xiu wanted to operate on his sister¡¯s brain.

    <i>Seeing how CEO Jun treated her so well, how could Xia Wanyuan seduce Yan Ci?</i>

    Shen Xiu was young, but as the chief surgeon of the hospital, he was especially busy every day. After confirming that Xia Wanyuan was fine, Shen Xiu left.

    Jun Shiling picked her up and walked to the bedroom upstairs. ¡°Rest well. You have to attend Bo Xiao¡¯s birthday party tomorrow.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan had no intention of letting go of Jun Shiling. She hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and did not let go.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.

    ¡°Apany me.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been sticking to Jun Shiling more and more recently. Since her stomach hurt today, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to stay alone anymore.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡± Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, his eyes filled with smiles.

    He didn¡¯t think that it was a bad thing for Xia Wanyuan to stick to him at all. On the contrary, the more Xia Wanyuan clung to him, the happier he was.

    After speaking, Jun Shiling got onto the bed, hugged her, and gently patted her back as he slowly told the story.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Although Bo Qing had suggested to arrange Bo Xiao¡¯s birthday party in the hotel, Bo Xiao had rejected him. With Old Master Bo¡¯s support, the entire Bo family had been decorated and filled with the aura of a banquet.

 Chapter 385 - Birthday Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 385: Birthday Banquet</h4>

    There were many things to do in the production team. As the female lead, Xia Wanyuan had a lot of scenes. When Xia Wanyuan returned to Old Master¡¯s house, she asked for a leave from the production team. The next day, Xia Wanyuan returned to the production team to catch up on filming progress. It was only when it was almost evening that she caught up on the progress for the past two days.

    The moon slowly climbed up the treetops, and the Bo family¡¯s birthday banquet gradually began.

    Anyway, he had spent the Bo family¡¯s money. Bo Xiao had decorated the banquet venue extremely grandly, and to Mo Ling¡¯s surprise, there were many people.

    Furthermore, all these people who came to attend Bo Xiao¡¯s birthday banquet had extraordinary backgrounds.

    Those people who had been called over by Bo Yi to watch Bo Xiao make a fool of himself looked at each other. There were so many of them, and they did not have an invitation to Bo Xiao¡¯s birthday banquet at all, but they stood in the middle of the hall with Bo Yi. It was really awkward

    A few of Bo Yi¡¯s friends in the industry also knew that Bo Xiao was back. Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s words, they also came to join in the fun. However, because they werete, they were blocked at the door.

    ¡°Why can¡¯t we enter?¡± The few of them wanted to argue with the guard when they saw a familiar figure walking towards the courtyard from the corner of their eyes. ¡°Why did Xia Wanyuan enter?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sir. Miss Xia has an invitation. If you have one too, I can let you in now,¡± the guard said professionally.

    There were already many people in the hall, and it was very lively. However, when Xia Wanyuan walked into the hall, the entire hall was silent for a moment.

    Other than those who often followed the entertainment industry, no one else recognized Xia Wanyuan. Even if she could cause a hugemotion online, in reality, not many people knew.

    In particr, many people in the hall were elites from all walks of life. They usually had no time to watch entertainment news or television dramas.

    Everyone only felt that Xia Wanyuan was especially beautiful and couldn¡¯t help but take a few more looks.

    A hint of disdain shed across Bo Yi¡¯s eyes when he saw Xia Wanyuan.

    Although the people on the Inte were calling Xia Wanyuan ¡°female CEO¡± one by one, in the many noble families in Beijing, the Xia family was at most a little rich. However, in terms of status, even if they sent out seven rings, they would not be able to enter the wealthy families.

    Seeing that more and more people wereing, including many politicians, Bo Yi frowned and looked at Mo Ling. ¡°Mom, didn¡¯t you say that Bo Xiao couldn¡¯t invite anyone at all?¡±

    ¡°Old Master probably came forward. These people probably came because of Old Master.¡± Jealousy shed across Mo Ling¡¯s eyes.?<i>That damned old man had indeed always favored Bo Xiao.</i>?¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already arranged it. I won¡¯t let Bo Xiao steal the limelight from the Bo family.¡±

    She wanted to let everyone in Beijing know that Bo Yi was the only proper young master in the Bo family. As for Bo Xiao? He was just a brat and a useless young master.

    Only then could the hatred in her heart that had been suppressed by Bo Xiao¡¯s mother for so many years be appeased, and only then could she take revenge for the arrow that Bo Xiao had shot at her wedding five years ago.

    There was a suddenmotion in the hall. Bo Xiao walked in from the side door in an exquisite tailcoat. However, what surprised everyone was that the first thing he did when he entered the house was not to greet the big shots of the business world or the higher-ups of the military. Instead, he walked to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Bo Xiao smiled slyly. He did not dare to call her sister-inw in front of everyone.

    ¡°Happy birthday.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and handed him a box.

    Before Bo Xiao could ept it, he heard amotion outside the door.

    What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°I think the Zheng and Qin family are here.¡±

    ¡°Really? That¡¯s impossible, right?¡± The listener seemed to not believe it. After all, the Zheng and Qin families were families with power.

    There were clear boundaries between politics and business. In the past, they would not interact much with the business world, let alone now that it was only a birthday banquet. How could these two families send people over?

    However, in reality, these two families did send people, and the level of the people who came was not low. But these two families were not here for Bo Xiao.

 Chapter 386 - Chase Him Out of the Table? Master Jun Wont Sit Anymore

    <h4>Chapter 386: Chase Him Out of the Table? Master Jun Won¡¯t Sit Anymore</h4>

    ¡°Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Qin, what brings you here?¡± Bo Qing was flirting with the new housekeeper when he suddenly saw the two walk in together. He hurriedly walked up.

    Although these twodies did not have any real power, as the saying went, if the pillow talk was good, the truth could be reversed.

    The men beside the two women were all in charge of life and death, so everyone present leaned towards Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Qin.

    Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Qin had power, while Mo Ling had money. Logically speaking, with Mo Ling¡¯s status, she shouldn¡¯t be able to blend into their circle.

    However, Mo Ling was especially good at spending money. Every few days, gifts woulde to her door, so she earned a ce in the circle of richdies in the capital.

    At this birthday banquet, Mo Ling had also spent an astronomical price to send two nes out before inviting them over.

    Mo Ling supported the hairpin on her head and shook her waist as she walked forward. ¡°Sister Zheng, Sister Qin, you¡¯re here.¡±

    ¡°Hey, look at the day we chose. I wanted toe and catch up with you, but I didn¡¯t expect to run into something big happening at your house. What¡¯s wrong?¡± The plump Mrs. Zheng was the first to speak.

    ¡°It¡¯s the 24th birthday of the eldest son of the Bo family, Bo Xiao.¡± Mo Ling covered her lips and smiled as she pointed at Bo Xiao, who was not far away.

    ¡°We came at the wrong time.¡±

    ¡°Madam Zheng, Madam Qin, what are you talking about? It¡¯s our honor to have the two of you here. We wee you.¡± Bo Qing had a real estate project on hand and was worried about not being able to move it. Now that Madam Zheng was here, he couldn¡¯t wait for the two of them to y for a while more.

    With that, Bo Qing guided Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Qin to the main table.

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard that CEO Bo has an older son?¡± the thin Mrs. Qin asked casually. ¡°I¡¯ve only followed my Old Qin to Beijing these few years. Am I too ignorant?¡±

    When she said this, everyone present looked a little awkward. All kinds ofplicated gazesnded on Bo Xiao.

    ¡°More than ten years ago, when I was still a child, I knew that CEO Bo¡¯s first wife had given birth to his eldest son, Bo Xiao. Perhaps Mrs. Qin, you¡¯re too forgetful,¡± Xia Wanyuan, who sat at the main table with Bo Xiao, said.

    ¡°Who is this? Why haven¡¯t I seen her before?¡± Mrs. Qin stopped herself and nced at Xia Wanyuan unhappily.

    ¡°This is a celebrity friend of Bo Xiao¡¯s,¡± Mo Ling replied.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Mrs. Qin raised her voice, and anyone who was not blind could see the mockery on her face.

    <i>How could a small celebrity be so shameless to sit at the main table?</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Xia. Our table did not set up a seat for you. We set up a guest table at the side. Please move over there.¡± Mo Ling gave a look, and the servant by the side stepped forward to ¡°invite¡± Xia Wanyuan out of the main table.

    Everyone present felt that Xia Wanyuan was a joke. She actually sat at the main table so boldly and could not tell her status at all.

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to bicker with them. After all, looking at their faces, she was in no mood to eat. She immediately stood up and sat at the table with the servant.

    Bo Xiao nced at Mo Ling coldly, making one¡¯s heart turn cold for no reason. Then, he stood up and sat at the guest table with Xia Wanyuan.

    However, no one at the main table cared about the departure of the protagonist of the birthday banquet. Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Qin were asking about Bo Yi, and the others followed suit, as if Bo Yi was the protagonist of the banquet.

    When the people at the other tables saw this awkward scene, their expressions varied. The atmosphere in the hall was rather subtle.

    Some people looked curiously at Bo Xiao and Xia Wanyuan, guessing what their rtionship was that actually made Bo Xiao abandon the main table and sit with her in the corner.

    Just as everyone was specting, a report suddenly came from the door. ¡°CEO Jun of the Jun Corporation is here for the banquet!¡±

    For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

 Chapter 387 - Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 387: Banquet</h4>

    <i>Jun Shiling?!</i>

    <i>Jun Shiling would actuallye here? We would have a chance to see Jun Shiling too?</i>

    This was what most of the people present thought. After all, the Jun Corporation had a considerable economic influence worldwide.

    Some people present had also heard some news about Jun Shiling returning on the Hurricane that night. The various operations in China had changed, making it impossible for anyone to understand the background behind Jun Shiling.

    It made the already very mysterious Jun Shiling even more unpredictable. No one had expected to see Jun Shiling at this birthday banquet, as Jun Shiling had always lived in seclusion and rarely appeared.

    <i>Probably only the representative appointed by Jun Shiling?</i>?Everyone did not believe that Jun Shiling would reallye.

    However, the door suddenly opened and an extremely handsome man in a suit walked in. Just from his oppressive and powerful aura, some people who had never seen Jun Shiling before could recognize him at a nce. This was the famous master of the Jun Corporation.

    Jun Shiling entered and nced at the hall first. Meeting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s warning gaze, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly, then he walked in.

    ¡°CEO Jun?!?!¡± Bo Qing¡¯s eyes widened slightly when he saw Jun Shiling. That piece ofnd he wanted to do for the real estate project belonged to the Jun Corporation. Now that he saw Jun Shilinging over personally, he hurriedly went up to him.

    ¡°I¡¯m really honored that you came to visit the Bo family.¡± Bo Qing leaned forward, wanting to get close to Jun Shiling, but Jun Shiling did not even look at him.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Bo Xiao, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up and waved at Jun Shiling. Then, everyone watched as Jun Shiling walked to the table in the corner.

    <i>What was going on?!</i>

    Bo Qing was also stunned. A week after Bo Xiao went abroad, he had received a notice of expulsion from the school saying that Bo Xiao was fighting outside.

    Bo Qing could not be bothered with his son. It did not matter to him if he quit school or not. It was fine as long as he did note back and cause trouble.

    Hence, Bo Qing was in charge of transferring money to Bo Xiao¡¯s card every month. His request was that Bo Xiao stay abroad quietly.

    ording to the investigation report from abroad, Bo Xiao had been hanging out in nightclubs and bars every day.?<i>How did he know Jun Shiling? And it seemed like their rtionship was not bad.</i>

    ¡°CEO Jun, do you know my eldest son?¡± Bo Qing leaned over and asked carefully.

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°We¡¯re friends.¡±

    !!

    Bo Qing was shocked, and so were the others present. To be able to say the word ¡®friend¡¯ from Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth, that was not an ordinary rtionship.

    Bo Qing was about to say something when he saw that Jun Shiling had already started to pick up his chopsticks. It was obvious that he did not want to listen to him anymore, so he tactfully shut his mouth.

    Mo Ling had just given a hint to the servant, so the servant brought Xia Wanyuan to the lowest-ss guest table in the hall.

    Now, as they looked at Jun Shiling sitting at the table, everyone was envious of the person sitting at the table.

    ¡°CEO Bo, is there anything else?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Bo Qing, who felt his heart turn cold.

    ¡°CEO Jun, follow me to the main table and sit. You should sit in the main seat.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. CEO Bo, you should go back and sit. It¡¯s quite good for me to stay here.¡± Jun Shiling had asked him to leave, and it was not good for Bo Qing to stay here forever.

    He gave Bo Xiao a look, but Bo Xiao acted as if he did not see anything and continued to serve Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Bo Qing red at Bo Xiao before turning to leave.

    At this moment, the most remote corner in the hall had be the most eye-catching ce.

    No one paid attention to Mrs. Zheng or Mrs. Qin anymore.

    No one cared about how outstanding Bo Yi was.

    Everyone remembered that the main character of this banquet was the eldest young master of the Bo family, and this eldest young master had a very good rtionship with Jun Shiling.

    There were a few others sitting at Jun Shiling¡¯s table. Seeing that they were actually sitting at the same table as Jun Shiling, everyone was very restrained. They only dared to put the food in their bowls and did not even dare to eat it, afraid that they would disturb the big shot in front of them.

    The calmest people at the table were Xia Wanyuan and Bo Xiao.

    Jun Shiling picked up a meatball and habitually wanted to put it in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl when his right leg was suddenly knocked by Xia Wanyuan.

    Only then did Jun Shiling realize that he was not in the manor. He twisted his chopsticks and ced them in his bowl.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan heaved a sigh of relief, she realized that her hand had been grabbed. Xia Wanyuan lowered her head calmly and saw that Jun Shiling was holding her hand.

    The two of them sat adjacent to the wall with a tablecloth. No one else realized that there was such a scene under the tablecloth.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand with his right hand and the chopsticks with his left, making it very smooth.

    Everyone looked around carefully and thought that Jun Shiling was left-handed.

    Everyone cursed in their hearts.?<i>Everyone says that left-handed people are smarter. As expected.</i>

    In public, Jun Shiling kept holding her hand and even hooked her palm from time to time. As Xia Wanyuan ate, her face turned redder.

    ¡°Miss Xia, are you very hot?¡± Bo Xiao noticed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s a little spicy. I¡¯ll be fine after drinking some water.¡± Xia Wanyuan forced Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away, then gently knocked Jun Shiling with her left leg, hinting that he should not go overboard.

    Jun Shiling received Xia Wanyuan¡¯s warning and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Only then did he eat quietly.

    No one at the main table had finished their meal peacefully. Without Jun Shiling causing trouble, Xia Wanyuan ate very smoothly.

    After the meal, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left some timeter. However, Jun Shiling¡¯s arrival made Bo Xiao¡¯s birthday banquet famous in Beijing.

    Meanwhile, the various forces in Beijing also paid attention to the scene of the Bo family¡¯s Eldest Young Master¡¯s domineering return. The Bo family was probably going to be chaotic again.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Back then, when Xia Wanyuan promoted Hays potato chips, she had once helped promote a plum drink.

    Later on, the plum drink had also looked for Xia Wanyuan to promote that green plum drink. Initially, that brand was not veryrge, but because it was indeed delicious, Xia Wanyuan helped to repost a publicity Weibo post, bringing a lot of sales to that shop.

    This matter had originally been forgotten long ago, but in the past two days, a very famousrge beveragepany had directly sued this smallpany of plum drinks on the basis of a secret copyright infringement form. Even when announcing it to the public, it had mentioned Xia Wanyuan.

    Because of the CEO of Xiafeng Corporation, Xia Wanyuan had been very popr these few days. Now, she was directly involved in this dispute.

 Chapter 388 - Complaint Under the Moon

    <h4>Chapter 388: Comint Under the Moon</h4>

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car returned to the manor one after another. Xiao Bao was squatting at the door waiting for them.

    ¡°Mommy, you and Daddy snuck out again and you did not bring me.¡± Xia Wanyuan had just gotten out of the car when Xiao Bao hugged her leg. Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were filled with begs forfort.

    ¡°The ces we went to today were for adults. There were no children to y with you. It¡¯s because of the interactions between adults that I didn¡¯t bring you there.¡± Although Xiao Bao was young, Xia Wanyuan treated him as an adult in many situations.

    Xiao Bao was also very sensible. After hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, he stopped arguing.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s schedule could be said to be especially disciplined. After pestering Xia Wanyuan to y games for a while, Xiao Bao was extremely tired. He hugged the little bear doll and fell into a deep sleep.

    Although most people at the banquet did not eat much, Xia Wanyuan was definitely full without any baggage. She was very full and did not feel sleepy at all.

    Feeling bored, Xia Wanyuan sat by the bed and gently poked Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby little face. As if because Xia Wanyuan had gained Xiao Bao¡¯splete trust, Xia Wanyuan poked Xiao Bao a few times, but Xiao Bao did not react and slept especially soundly.

    The child¡¯s skin was good, and Xiao Bao¡¯s fair and tender little face felt especially good when pinched. Xia Wanyuan could not help but pinch him a few more times.

    When Jun Shiling pushed open the door, he saw Xia Wanyuan sitting by the bed and yfully pressing a small nest on Xiao Bao¡¯s face.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. He walked forward and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°What did you do? You might wake him up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan blushed.?<i>I was very gentle, okay?</i>

    ¡°Come down with me if you can¡¯t sleep,¡± Jun Shiling said as he pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out of the bedroom.

    Ever since Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan returned from Lin Xi City, anyone could tell how close Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were. Uncle Wang also very tactfully removed all the people who had stayed in the main building to serve them.

    At this moment, only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were in the main building, as well as Xiao Bao, who was already asleep.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask as Jun Shiling led her out.

    ¡°I thought you can¡¯t sleep? Go out and sit for a while.¡±

    It was summer now, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond exuded a faint fragrance in the dark night.

    There was a cooling sofa in the garden. Jun Shiling sat on the sofa while Xia Wanyuany on the sofa and leaned her head into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Jun Shiling turned off the light in the garden. There was a moment of darkness in front of her, and Xia Wanyuan could not help but grip Jun Shiling tighter.

    After her eyes adapted to the darkness, she saw a beautiful starry sky.

    The moonlight was very bright tonight, and there were many stars. They covered the sky and earth, making Xia Wanyuan think of the night she had just arrived in the modern world.

    That night, she watched the stars with Xiao Bao. The stars that night were as bright as today.

    At that time, she was just a newbie in the alternate world. Someone who had no concept of anything and was ipatible with this era.

    She did not expect that so many things would happen after two months, and she seemed to have found the meaning of being in this alternate world.

    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan looked at the stars and did not speak for a long time, Jun Shiling asked.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I¡¯ve never asked you. What¡¯s your first impression of me?¡± When Xia Wanyuan fell in love, she had the thoughts of an ordinary girl. She wanted to know how Jun Shiling thought of her.

    ¡°The first time we met?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Back then, you were eating at the dining table with Jun Yin. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were very beautiful.¡±

    What Xia Wanyuan did not notice was that she was asking about her first impression, and Jun Shiling had directly defined his first impression in the restaurant in the half mountain vi.

    ¡°Then what happened after that? When did you like me?¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed.

    ¡°After that, I felt that you were good in every way and I fell in love with you unknowingly. If you want me to say when I fell in love with you.¡± Jun Shiling recalled for a while. ¡°At first nce at the restaurant.¡±

    Just one look and those cool eyes settled into his heart and never left.

    ¡°At first nce? You didn¡¯t know me at that time, so you fell for me?¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was never delicate outside, was pampered in front of Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. ¡°It¡¯s a nce for life. I also want to know when you fell for me.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s question, Xia Wanyuan recalled. She actually did not know when she had fallen for Jun Shiling. It seemed that in every day, she was used to having Jun Shiling by her side and gradually made this person an indispensable part of her life.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Xia Wanyuan said honestly.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and touched her forehead.

    <i>It¡¯s okay. It doesn¡¯t matter when it is. As long as you like me, that¡¯s enough.</i>

    Xia Wanyuany down and looked at the starry sky for a while. The starry sky in the dark night evoked her longing for her parents and friends in her previous life. A sour feeling surged in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    It was unknown what Xia Wanyuan thought of, but she suddenly sat up and stretched out her arms towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Hug ~¡±

    ¡°Mm, hug.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her into his arms. As if knowing that Xia Wanyuan was not in a good mood, he gently patted her back. ¡°I¡¯ll be by your side forever.¡±

    Jun Shiling rarely promised anything, but once he said something, he would do it.

    This eternity was truly eternal and distant, one that would never give up on life and death.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied gloomily.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s gettingte. Go to bed. You still have to film tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan and prepared to bring her back.

    Xia Wanyuan was feeling depressed. She did not want to leave and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist without moving.

    Jun Shiling smiled and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was buried in his arms, not moving. A smile shed across his eyes. ¡°Why are you acting coquettishly?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was already used to being pampered by Jun Shiling. Now that she was teased by Jun Shiling, she did not feel embarrassed. She tightened her grip on Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. The faint pine fragrance on Jun Shiling¡¯s body was very pleasant. In this summer day, it had a magical effect of calming one¡¯s emotions.

    ¡°You¡¯re so clingy.¡± Although Jun Shiling said that Xia Wanyuan was clingy, he loved seeing Xia Wanyuan being defenseless andpletely dependent on him.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied before continuing to bury her head in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and smell the faint fragrance on him.

    Jun Shilingughed. ¡°If you¡¯re so clingy, I have a suggestion.¡± Jun Shiling spoke halfway as if he was deliberately seducing Xia Wanyuan. When Xia Wanyuan looked up, Jun Shiling continued.

    ¡°Jun Yin is already asleep. Shall we sleep in the guest room tonight? I¡¯ll let you stick to me for the entire night.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 389: Real or Fake Thief</h4>

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Jun Shiling picked her up by the waist and walked into the house. ¡°What are you thinking? I just said that it was purely sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and nestled in his arms. She gently hammered him to express her condemnation.

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he steadily carried Xia Wanyuan back to the secondary bedroom.

    After cing her on the bed, Jun Shiling lifted the nket and fell asleep. Xia Wanyuan reached out to hug him habitually.

    About a minuteter, Xia Wanyuan realized that Jun Shiling was especially disciplined today. When he said sleep, it was really sleep.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but look up at Jun Shiling. Sensing the movement in her arms, Jun Shiling did not open his eyes and said quietly, ¡°What are you looking forward to, my wife??¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯m sleeping.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned back into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t been alone with you in a long time. I missed you.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and exined to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°If you have other requests, I can satisfy you.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s muffled voice came from her arms. Jun Shiling smiled and hugged her tighter. He nted a gentle kiss on her hair. ¡°Goodnight, I love you.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    The next morning, because Jun Shiling had actually kidnapped Xia Wanyuan and did not sleep with him, Xiao Bao unterally protested against Jun Shiling, but he was suppressed.

    It took Xia Wanyuan a long time to coax the angry Xiao Bao and even personally send him to school.

    Just as she was about to leave the school¡¯s entrance, Xia Wanyuan received a call from Tang Yin. Only then did Xia Wanyuan know that something had happened to the plum drink.

    However, speaking of which, this matter actually had nothing to do with Xia Wanyuan. After all, she had only helped promote it. At that time, she did not know that this was someone else¡¯s form.

    Xia Wanyuan searched online. Jiayin was a rtively famous beveragepany in the country, and the plum drink she had helped promote was produced by a very small Bai Xiangpany.

    Jia Yin Corporation sued Bai Xiang in court and demanded that he return the form andpensate for the relevant loss of 12 million dors.

    One was a beverage brand that could be seen everywhere on the famous dining table, and the other was an unknownpany that made people suspect that it was a smallpany.

    Everyone was more inclined to Jiayin from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention that Jiayin Corporation had presented a lot of evidence.

    If not for Jia Yin mentioning Xia Wanyuan, no one would have noticed the dispute between the two beveragepanies.

    Xia Wanyuan did not pay much attention to it at first. After all, she had only helped promote it. If it was really a theft form, there was nothing to pay attention to. It would be judged by the court.

    However, not long after, Tang Yin called again and said that the studio had a package sent to Xia Wanyuan, asking if she wanted to go and get it.

    Xia Wanyuan happened to pass by the studio on the way to the production team after sending Xiao Bao off, so she got the chauffeur to go to the studio first.

    After the mineral water incidentst time, Tang Yin and the rest did not dare to let Xia Wanyuan open the package herself. After all, it would be bad if something sent by the anti-fans frightened her.

    Chen Yun made two especially long poles and slowly poked open the envelope. Inside was not something sent by anti-fans, but a box of drinks.

    Chen Yun went forward to take a look. ¡°Hey, this is the plum drink from Bai Xiang that you helped promotest time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and took a look. It was filled with a box of exquisite plum drinks.

    ¡°There¡¯s still a letter here.¡± Tang Yin had sharp eyes and took out an ancient envelope from a gap at the side.

    Tang Yin tore a hole first. After confirming that there was nothing strange inside, she handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan took it and read it. It was a letter from Boss Bai Xiang.

    This boss actually wrote with a brush and the words were especially beautiful.

    ¡°Miss Xia,

    Hello, I¡¯m the boss of Bai Xiang Drink. I¡¯m very grateful for your free promotion back then. I¡¯m very sorry for affecting your reputation due to the dispute between Bai Xiang and Jiayin. I¡¯ll send you a box of drinks here. I hope you don¡¯t mind. I guarantee with my many years of integrity that Bai Xiang has never done anything to steal other people¡¯s recipes. Unfortunately, the other party has strong capital. Whether you believe me or not, I¡¯m very grateful for your love for mypany¡¯s drinks.

    I wish you all the best. ¡±

    ¡°This boss is still quite polite.¡± Tang Yin also saw the boss¡¯s letter and sighed. Then, she looked at the time. ¡°Wanyuan, it¡¯s time for you to film, right?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll go now.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the drink on the ground. ¡°Help me put this in the car.¡±

    During the break between filming, Xia Wanyuan got someone to buy a few bottles of Jiayin Corporation¡¯s drinks from the supermarket and tried to drink them.

    Modern people had drunk all kinds of drinks since they were young, so they were not that sensitive to differentiating the taste.

    In the Xia Dynasty, there were not so many industrial skills. It was all thanks to the hands of the imperial chef.

    Xia Wanyuan was very sensitive to the subtle differences in the taste. She tasted a few drinks that were delicious. The fragrance was indeed very rich and sweet, but when it entered her mouth, it seemed a little greasy.

    Furthermore, after swallowing it, other than the sweet fragrance lingering in his mouth, there was nothing else that made her reminisce.

    As for Bai Xiang¡¯s drink, when it first entered his mouth, it had a faint fragrance of plums. It was neither sweet nor greasy. It really seemed to be written on the packaging and made of handmade raw materials. There was no additives in it, so it was especially refreshing.

    After swallowing it, more and more sweetness surged into his mouth, making one want to drink another mouthful.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the plum drink that Boss Bai Xiang had sent over and was in deep thought. Then she called Shen Qian.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Bai Xiang Corporation.

    ¡°Boss, we really have no choice. Jiayin is such a big corporation. Thewyers are too amazing.¡±

    <i>The legal department of thepany flipped through the information in his hand. This boss was too unguarded. He actually let thepany¡¯s trusted aide take the original version of the form and sell it to Jiayin Corporation.</i>

    <i>How were they going to fight awsuit now?? Jiayin had awyers team of dozens standing behind him, while Bai Xiang was alone. This was simply a death trap.</i>

    ¡°It was originally a recipe left behind by our ancestor. I originally wanted to make something good so that the public could enjoy better drinks. Now that things have turned out like this, there¡¯s nothing I can do. I¡¯ll get someone toe over tomorrow and pay everyone their sries. It¡¯s been hard on everyone in the past few years. I, Han Xu, thank everyone here.¡±

    Bai Xiang¡¯s boss, Han Xu, stood up and bowed to the people in the meeting room with a tired expression.

    After he sold thispany, he would return to his hometown in the mountains to farm. In the end, this prosperous world was still superficial. Han Xu, who was pure and straightforward, hated Jiayin¡¯s usations very much, but he had no choice.

    Just as everyone was immersed in their thoughts, the secretary suddenly came in and reported, ¡°CEO Han, Miss Xia outside wants to see you.¡±

 Chapter 390 - The Princess Acquires Bai Xiang Company

    <h4>Chapter 390: The Princess Acquires Bai Xiang Company</h4>

    ¡°Miss??¡± Han Xu was stunned.

    His brother-inw, who was sitting on the right, was already frowning. Han Xu was afraid that this brother-inw would go back and talk nonsense to his sister, so he hurriedly looked at the secretary. ¡°Bring her in ande to this meeting room.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Han Xu thought that he did not know any woman with the surname Xia. He was usually busy with work and would research in the factory whenever he had time. He did not interact with clients either. On Weibo, the person with the surname Xia that he had interacted with was that big celebrity, Xia Wanyuan.

    However, he only felt that he had let her down and caused trouble for her, so he wrote a letter to her. However, he was not sure if it could be sent. After all, Xia Wanyuan was a big celebrity. How could she care about him?

    As Han Xu was thinking, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from outside the door.

    ¡°Miss Xia, pleasee in.¡± The secretary opened the door and walked into an extremely beautiful woman with a very handsome man following behind her.

    The employees in the room instantly fell silent and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing at the door, in amazement.

    They had also seen Xia Wanyuan promote their product on the live-stream, but she was clearly much better looking in person than on the video, even if she was already very beautiful on the video.

    ¡°Miss Xia?¡± Han Xu was the first to recover from his shock. He walked towards Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°Why are you in our smallpany?¡±

    ¡°Hello, CEO Han.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Han Xu.

    ¡°Hello, hello. Please sit here,¡± Han Xu said as he led Xia Wanyuan to the seat in front and sat down. ¡°May I know why you are here, Ms. Xia?¡±

    Han Xu thought that Xia Wanyuan might havee to ask them forpensation because her reputation had been tainted by Bai Xiang. Han Xu thought about his assets and sighed.?<i>It was better to sell my precious watch as an apology gift.</i>

    ¡°I came here this time to discuss the acquisition with CEO Han.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not beat around the bush and directly revealed her intentions.

    ¡°Acquisition?!!¡± Not only did Han Xu not expect this, but no one present did either. Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan in shock.

    ¡°Yes, acquisition.¡± Xia Wanyuan gestured for Shen Qian to hand the contract to Han Xu. ¡°This is the acquisition n. You can take a look and then we¡¯ll discuss the relevant matters.¡±

    Han Xu took the document and flipped through it. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He quickly read it and handed it to the legal staff of thepany.

    The legal staff looked through the documents carefully and nodded at Han Xu. ¡°No problem.¡±

    Han Xu was even more confused. The document just now could be said to be very generous.

    Although it was an acquisition, he could actually get 40 shares. Furthermore, after the acquisition, the arrangements, treatment, and sry of the employees of thepany could not be better.

    ¡°Miss Xia, although I¡¯m the boss of Bai Xiang, I want to say this too. Aren¡¯t you afraid of losing money by acquiring such a proposal? After all, we¡¯re a smallpany that¡¯s about to go bankrupt.¡±

    Since Han Xu had no intention of continuing to operate thepany, he spoke very directly.

    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of losing money. I believe in Bai Xiang¡¯s value. As for going bankrupt? Xiafeng Corporation will send a legal team to help resolve the dispute. If you have no objections, the shareholders of Bai Xiang should be present today, right? Everyone can vote directly ande to a final conclusion.¡±

 Chapter 391 - Xia Wanyuan Was Scolded On The Internet

    <h4>Chapter 391: Xia Wanyuan Was Scolded On The Inte</h4>

    When Xia Wanyuan first entered, they only felt that this woman was especially beautiful. Everyone¡¯s impression of Xia Wanyuan was that she was a female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the meeting table, even though she had only nced at them once, everyone felt suffocated by her aura.

    Han Xu could not help but call out, ¡°CEO Xia, I¡¯ll ask for everyone¡¯s opinion.¡±

    The acquisition of thepany was a huge matter, but Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly at the side actually calmed everyone present. For some reason, they felt that if Xia Wanyuan bought thepany, thispany might really be able to revive and reach a new height.

    Things progressed even more smoothly than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. The shareholders of Bai Xiang basically agreed unanimously that Bai Xiang should be bought over by Xiafeng Corporation.

    Xia Wanyuan and Han Xu quickly signed the contract. What followed was toplete all sorts of handover procedures.

    After personally sending Xia Wanyuan to thepany¡¯s entrance, Han Xu still seemed to be in a dream. He did not know how things had inexplicably developed to this state.

    ¡°CEO Xia, I have a question I wanted to ask you just now. Why did you choose to believe Bai Xiang when the controversy between Bai Xiang and Jiaying has blown up so much?¡± Han Xu looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite side profile and could not help but ask.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped walking. ¡°CEO Han, you write your words decently. I think that the person who can write good words is straight and honest, like the words they write.¡±

    It was Han Xu¡¯s turn to be stunned. No matter how he guessed, he did not expect that his apology letter had saved him.

    ¡°Thank you, CEO Xia. Thank you.¡± Han Xu was very touched.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee, CEO Han. You should thank yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    Because Han Xu himself was a person with a good character, even though Xia Wanyuan had only endorsed a product for him once, he would personally write an apology letter and send a thank-you gift.

    If not for his letter, Xia Wanyuan would not have noticed him.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan left, Bai Xiang, who had been silent all this while, finally posted a post in response to the pressure from Jia Yin Corporation.

    Bai Xiang Corporation: ¡°Although Bai Xiang Corporation is small, it¡¯s also an old corporation with a hundred years of history. We don¡¯t cause trouble and aren¡¯t afraid of trouble. Who is fooling the public and trying to distort the truth? Let¡¯s wait and see @ Jiayin Corporation.¡±

    Soon, someizens discovered the extremely firm Weibo post by Bai Xiang Corporation.

    [ Wow, why are you so firm?? Who gave you the courage?? The evidence of Jiayin Company has been disyed, and you¡¯re still struggling here? ]

    [ Thieves nowadays are really amazing. They dare to challenge others publicly after stealing their things. Amazing, don¡¯t they have any shame? ]

    [ I wonder why Xia Wanyuan promoted such apany back then? Did she really abandon her conscience for money? ]

    [ The person in front, are you crazy? Don¡¯t tell me that before Xia Wanyuan epts the promotion, she has to ask everyone one by one if thepany stole the form? Our Yuan Yuan is also a victim, okay??? Back then, when the publicity was released, she didn¡¯t know that thispany was so shameless. ]

    [ Fans, stop bragging. How can your Yuan Yuan not know? Go and take a look at the Weibo post that Xiafeng Corporation just posted, okay? Come back and p your face swollen. I don¡¯t even have to do it. ]

    Everyone followed thisment and clicked on the official Weibo ount of the Xiafeng Group. They were stunned.

 Chapter 392 - The Princess Wearing a Suit for the First Time

    <h4>Chapter 392: The Princess Wearing a Suit for the First Time</h4>

    On Weibo, it was shown that Xiafeng Corporation had updated a post two minutes ago, and the content of this post made people feel that their worldview had exploded.

    @ Xiafeng Corporation: ¡°Bai Xiang Corporation is an old corporation with a long legacy. I¡¯m very happy that Xiafeng Corporation has weed a new partner, Bai Xiang Corporation, today. In the future, we¡¯ll travel together and hope to create more and better products.¡±

    The apanying picture was of Xia Wanyuan and Han Xu signing the acquisition contract.

    In order to make it official, Xia Wanyuan had specially changed into a white professional suit when she went to Bai Xiang Corporation. Her hair that was originally scattered behind her was simply tied up behind her head. Just the side of her face made one feel a fierce aura.

    [ What the heck?? Has Xiafeng Corporation gone crazy? As expected, it¡¯s impossible to let a woman run apany. How dare they acquire such apany that steals recipes? ]

    [ Is there something wrong with the person in front? Why are you ming everything on women? ]

    [ What is Xia Wanyuan trying to do¡­ It¡¯s not easy for her reputation to improve, but she actually forcefully takes on the negative news. I just became a fan of her, and now I feel that it¡¯s better to forget it. I feel that she doesn¡¯t cherish her feathers. ]

    [ Can I go astray? Xia Wanyuan is really valiant¡­ She¡¯s so good-looking¡­ I want to be pressed against the wall by Xia Wanyuan and kissed¡­ ]

    [???? The person in front, even the chicken cage can¡¯t control you anymore, right?? ]

    Xia Wanyuan did not know about themotion on the Inte because Jun Shiling was pressing her down on the sofa.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished filming her scenes for the day, she went to Bai Xiang Corporation when it was almost time to get off work. After signing the contract, Xia Wanyuan went straight home.

    Jun Shiling had returned early that day and was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. When he heard themotion, he turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a white suit and had her hair tied up neatly, walking in valiantly.

    Jun Shiling put down the newspaper, and his eyes darkened. ¡°Why are you dressed like this today?¡±

    ¡°I went to attend to some work today. Won¡¯t it look more formal if I wear this?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.?<i>Didn¡¯t all professional women in the modern world wear this?</i>

    Speaking of which, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan was wearing a suit, so she did not know how abstinent she was in this exquisite white suit. However, the curve of her body exuded a different kind of charm under the abstinence suit.

    ¡°Come here.¡± Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wanyuan. Just as Xia Wanyuan walked over, she was pressed onto the sofa by Jun Shiling. Seeing this, the servants that were not far away immediately left the main building.

    ¡°We¡¯re still in the living room.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around in embarrassment and realized that the servants had long disappeared.

    ¡°CEO Xia.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful today.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, you tter me. You¡¯re beautiful too.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling angrily. Suddenly, Jun Shiling was agitated again.

    Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead, smiling. ¡°Do you mind acquiring me too, CEO Xia?¡±

    ¡°Is it expensive?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not expensive.¡± Jun Shiling tapped his right cheek. ¡°It¡¯s very simple.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned over to stamp on it. ¡°Alright, the acquisition is sessful.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions, CEO Xia.¡± Jun Shiling was filled with joy as he stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Young Master, there are guests in the manor.¡± No one dared to disturb the two in the living room. In the end, Uncle Wang came to inform him.

 Chapter 393 - Someone from the Zheng Family

    <h4>Chapter 393: Someone from the Zheng Family</h4>

    <i>Guest?</i>?Xia Wanyuan looked at the time.?<i>It was almost seven o¡¯clock. Who woulde at this time?</i>

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was still holding on to her, Xia Wanyuan pushed him. ¡°Someone¡¯s here, why aren¡¯t you letting go?¡±

    ¡°Ignore them.¡± Jun Shiling knew who wasing. He turned his head and told Uncle Wang, ¡°I won¡¯t see them. Let them go.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± After receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions, Uncle Wang went out the door.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯ste. The manor doesn¡¯t ept guests. Please go back.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell him that we¡¯re from the Zheng family? What can make Jun Shiling let my brother out?!¡± Among the few people from the Zheng family, some of them were very young and could not control themselves, so they jumped out.

    ¡°Young Master Zheng, our Young Master said he won¡¯t see you. Please leave.¡± Uncle Wang still spoke in a business-like tone and did not even look at the Zheng family.

    Wherever the Zheng family went, they would be ttered, yet they were rejected by Jun Shiling. They did not shamelessly stay here anymore and called home to exin the situation before preparing to go back.

    At that moment, a ck car slowly drove towards the entrance of the manor. The car window was open and a furry head poked out. An extremely exquisite child who looked like a porcin doll was staring curiously at the group of people at the door.

    The car carrying the child entered the manor smoothly. The door was closed, and the Zheng family could only leave the manor.

    ¡°Was that Jun Shiling¡¯s child just now?¡± Someone suddenly spoke in the quiet car.

    ¡°I heard that Jun Shiling has a son. He¡¯s probably the one today. He looks quite like Jun Shiling.¡± The other person was still answering the question when he suddenly realized something. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want toy a hand on his son?!¡±

    ¡°Damn, how is that possible? I was just asking. I was just asking.¡± The person who asked the question first waved his hand as if he had only asked casually, but a ruthless light shed across his eyes.

    The eldest young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Yun, had disappeared for a long time. It was as if he had disappeared from the world and could not be found at all. In the end, it was only after the Zheng family used a deep connection that they learned that Zheng Yun¡¯s disappearance was rted to Jun Shiling.

    Only then did the Zheng family send people to negotiate with Jun Shiling. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would be so ungrateful? He did not even want to see them. It was really true that businessmen did not know their own worth after having a few dors. The Zheng family had proposed a few restrictive policies at the meeting, and if they were to smooth over the relevant institutions, Jun Shiling would be in pain.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xiao Bao skipped into the house and saw Xia Wanyuan sitting on the sofa with an especially red face, while Jun Shiling had a satisfied expression.

    ¡°Mommy, your face is so red. Why are you always blushing recently? Are you sick?¡± Xiao Bao leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms curiously.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s too hot.¡± Xia Wanyuan suppressed the heat in her heart and smiled as she touched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. When Xiao Bao did not see her, she red at Jun Shiling.

    However, this re waspletely coquettish in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. Not only was he not annoyed, but the smile in his eyes widened.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After knowing that Bai Xiang had been bought over by Xiafeng Group, Jiayin Group did not have much of a reaction. After all, in their opinion, Xiafeng Group, a real estatepany, wanting to interfere in the beverage industry was a crossover in the first ce, and there would be a very long period of transition. Xiafeng Group would not take over Bai Xiang so quickly.

    Furthermore, the initial form for the beverage was from their Jiayin Group. No matter what, they were the first in the court. No matter how powerful the Xiafeng Group was, they could not do anything.

    This acquisition was just Xiafeng Corporation causing trouble for themselves. There was nothing to worry about.

 Chapter 394 - Yan Ci Was Too Immersed in His Act

    <h4>Chapter 394: Yan Ci Was Too Immersed in His Act</h4>

    Not only did Jiayin Corporation think so, but even Bai Xiang Corporation felt so. After all, there was no way this matter could be turned around.

    Xia Wanyuan was not flustered at all. She sent Shen Qian to understand the entire situation. Then, Shen Qian sorted the gathered information into a summarized document and sent it to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and took a look. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. Modern society had be more civilized andwless. Even if there was dirt, it was done secretly and not so brazenly.

    Jiayin Corporation didn¡¯t have the guts to kill people who were involved in stealing the original form. As long as the person involved was still alive, everything would be easy.

    Since those people could betray Bai Xiang Corporation for the money of Jiayin Corporation, they could also betray Jiayin Corporation for the money.

    ¡°Don¡¯t alert the enemy first and investigate in secret. We¡¯ll take action when the time is right.¡± Xia Wanyuan circled a few people on the document and sent the photos to Shen Qian. ¡°Focus on these few people.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The filming of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had been proceeding methodically. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s professionalism and acting skills impressed the entire production team.

    Even Yan Ci, who had always been praised for his good acting skills, sighed more than once. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to manipte other people¡¯s emotions was truly terrifying.

    Every time he acted with her, he would feel very pressured. If he did not focus on the drama, he would easily be suppressed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura.

    There were ruins everywhere, and the smoke of war had yet topletely dissipate. Qin Manyue and Chu Pingjiang stood at the two ends of the bridge and looked at each other from afar. An emerald bird flew across theke, and the jade color on its body was actually the only color in this gloomy world.

    ¡°Goodbye.¡±

    The two of them looked at each other for a long time as if they had thousands of words to say. However, in the end, Qin Manyue only said one sentence. Qin Manyue¡¯s enchanting and charming eyes were filled with sorrow.

    The emotions emanating from Xia Wanyuan were too real. Even the staff around could feel the sorrow and pain of parting.

    Furthermore, Yan Ci, who acted with Xia Wanyuan, was a good actor who integrated himself with the characters when filming.

    Even though Chu Pingjiang had always been used to being ruthless, at this moment, there was a hint of fragility on his face. He involuntarily walked towards the bridge.

    There was no such scene in the script, but seeing Chu Pingjiang¡¯s gaze, Li Heng gestured for the camera to close in. Halfway through, as if he suddenly remembered something, Chu Pingjiang stopped in his tracks.

    Snow filled the air and melted on his eyshes, turning into a drop of ice water. ¡°Take care.¡±

    Qin Manyue nodded and turned to leave. The affection in Chu Pingjiang¡¯s eyes suddenly surged out without restraint when Qin Manyue turned around.

    ¡°Close, close, close-up. Good!! This expression is good!!!¡± Li Heng patted his leg excitedly. These two actors were acting. As a director, he had filmed too well. Every scene was an act!!

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s end the filming for today! Yan Ci, yourst expression was too good. As expected of the Best Actor!! You live up to your reputation.¡± Seeing Yan Ci take off his military coat and walk over, Li Heng could not help but praise him.

    ¡°Director, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Yan Cic smied humbly and hid the emotions in his eyes.

    He hadpletely brought himself into Chu Pingjiang, along with his feelings. In the drama, Chu Pingjiang liked Qin Manyue. After the camera was removed, he realized that he could not take his eyes off Xia Wanyuan.

    For a moment, Yan Ci could not tell if he was too immersed in the drama or if he was really attracted by Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 395 - Jun Shiling Offended Madam York

    <h4>Chapter 395: Jun Shiling Offended Madam York</h4>

    The temperature in June was already very high, but filming disregarded the season. In the camera, Qin Manyue and Chu Pingjiang bade farewell in the heavy snow. However, once the camera was turned off, Xia Wanyuan took off her heavy coat and hat.

    The temperature was too high, and she was already covered in sweat.

    ¡°I saw that you liked to eat ice creamst time. The weather was too hot. I got my assistant to bring you one.¡± Yan Ci walked over and handed Xia Wanyuan a chocte ice cream.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the ice cream and thanked him. The cold air of the ice cream finally allowed her to catch her breath. She ate the ice cream in small bites like an extremely good-looking hamster.

    Yan Ci watched from the side and forgot that he was holding ice cream.

    After every production team started filming, they would attract many standers to secretly film.

    This was equivalent to an investment. If this drama became popr, then the photos taken by these station sisters in advance would be popr among the fans. And the station sisters and the Weibo picture station behind them would also earn a lot.

    Because Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan were two extremely popr people, all the hotels and tall buildings around the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, where the situation of the production team could be captured, were equipped with all sorts of cameras.

    Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci were naturally the focus of their cameras. All the charm and cuteness were recorded one by one.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After resting for a while, Xia Wanyuan had to continue filming.

    The production team¡¯s filming did not follow the order of the script. It was possible that they would film the first scene in the morning and end the filming in the afternoon.

    After filming the farewell scene with Chu Pingjiang in the morning, the afternoon scene was about the destruction of Qin Manyue¡¯s family.

    Xia Wanyuan always had such scenes. She could not help but think of the scenes of the dying country and her losing her parents when she was young.

    She had achieved her emotions and the requirements for the drama, but the sourness that was evoked could not dissipate for a long time.

    Xia Wanyuan sat aside and called Jun Shiling.

    In the office of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was sitting at the table and discussing the relevant cooperation with Madam York.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s business was huge, and the York family had always wanted to cooperate with him. It was a good opportunity for Madam York to return to China and let her negotiate with Jun Shiling.

    After reading the documents brought by Madam York, Jun Shiling had no intention of working with this family. However, because Madam York was Old Master¡¯s sister, Jun Shiling did not reject her directly.

    The York family was one of the top aristocrats in the entire nnd. They had the same opinion of businessmen as in China. It was probably the dream of many businessmen to cooperate with the York family. Hence, Madam York was somewhat dissatisfied with Jun Shiling¡¯s hesitation.

    At that moment, his phone rang. Jun Shiling took it and his expression instantly softened.

    Jun Shiling took his phone and walked to the window. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle voice came from the phone. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s low spirits suddenly improved.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just bored, so I wanted to call you.¡± Xia Wanyuan actually had nothing to look for Jun Shiling for, but she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to him.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°Did you miss me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan paused and said gloomily, ¡°No.¡±

    Jun Shiling raised his wrist to look at the time. It was almost time for Xia Wanyuan to end work. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up from the production team now.¡±

    ¡°No need. I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡± Jun Shiling was so busy every day, so Xia Wanyuan did not want him to run back and forth.

    ¡°I missed you too. I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Jun Shiling smiled affectionately. Although she could not see Jun Shiling¡¯s face, Xia Wanyuan could imagine Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and tone from his tone alone. Her ears quietly flushed red.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll hang up first,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, Jun Shiling turned around and saw Madam York frowning.

    ¡°Shiling, you¡¯re my grandnephew. I have something to remind you.¡±

    Jun Shiling had not avoided her just now, so Madam York had heard Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s conversation. Now that Jun Shiling was preparing to pack up and pick up Xia Wanyuan, Madam York finally could not help it.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Jun Shiling stopped what he was doing and sat on the chair, looking straight at Madam York.

    ¡°She¡¯s just a small celebrity. It¡¯s fine to y a little. People with your status shouldn¡¯t do this for an actress.¡±

    ¡°Madam York, be careful with your words.¡± Jun Shiling stopped calling her grandaunt. When she said that he wanted to y, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression had already turned cold. ¡°She¡¯s my wife. The York family, which has always been known for their etiquette and honor, is this how they disrespect other people¡¯s wives?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not even married. She¡¯s just an actress. She has no education, ability, and no rules. How can she be the mistress of the Jun family??¡± Seeing a junior rebut her, Madam York¡¯s eyes burned with anger. She acted like a Duchess.

    ¡°Madam York, you have stretched your hand too long.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression had already turned cold. The oppressive aura around him made Madam York, who had crawled in the royal family for many years, feel a little unbearable.

    ¡°I¡¯m the one in charge of the Jun Corporation now. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not up to the York family to criticize me.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was already very heavy. ¡°If not for Grandpa, you probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter this office with the title of Madam York.¡±

    ¡°Junior, why are you so rude?¡± Madam York was used to living like a princess. When had she ever been humiliated like this? She immediately became angry. ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that you¡¯re a good child who knows when to advance and when to retreat. I didn¡¯t expect you to change my impression of you today. I¡¯m really confused by that actress.¡±

    ¡°If Madam York says anything disrespectful to my wife again, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to attend Grandpa¡¯s birthday. You should return to your Ennd.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Madam York and said slowly. The coldness in his tone made Madam York¡¯s heart tremble.

    ¡°You.¡± Madam York wanted to continue speaking, but when she met Jun Shiling¡¯s cold eyes, she didn¡¯t know how to speak.

    Thinking of how the Duke of York had said that he wanted to cooperate with Jun Shiling, Madam York suppressed her anger for the time being. ¡°I was just making a suggestion. Child, you¡¯re getting serious. I have something to do first. Look at this document first.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Jun Shiling pushed the documents Madam York had brought forward. ¡°I don¡¯t n to work with the York family at all.¡±

 Chapter 396 - CEO Xia, Can We Understand the Value Exchange?

    <h4>Chapter 396: CEO Xia, Can We Understand the Value Exchange?</h4>

    ¡°What do you mean? Just for that woman?¡± Madam York was stunned.

    <i>What had Xia Wanyuan fed Jun Shiling with to actually give up his cooperation with the York family for that little celebrity?!</i>

    Jun Shiling wanted to pick Xia Wanyuan up early and did not want to talk to Madam York anymore. He called directly. ¡°Lin Jing, send Madam York out.¡±

    Then, Jun Shiling picked up his suit and gestured to Madam York. ¡°There are important documents in the office. I¡¯m leaving now.¡±

    When had Madam York ever suffered such humiliation? She picked up her bag and left immediately. She couldn¡¯t even maintain her usual royal etiquette.

    After leaving the Jun Corporation, Madam York went straight to the Old Master of the quad toin.

    However, he did not expect the Old Master to believe Jun Shiling so much. ¡°Older sister, I trust this grandson of mine very much. If you didn¡¯t provoke him, he wouldn¡¯t treat you like this. I¡¯ve already given him full control of the Jun Corporation. I can¡¯t help you with the York family anymore.¡±

    The old master understood Jun Shiling¡¯s character. Now, the only thing that could provoke Jun Shiling was probably rted to Xia Wanyuan. That day at dinner, the old master realized the disdain in Madam York¡¯s eyes.

    Due to the fact that he had not seen his rtives for so many years, Old Master turned a blind eye to it. However, now that she had provoked Jun Shiling again, he let him be and did not want to interfere.

    ¡°Your grandson is going to be harmed by that woman sooner orter.¡± Seeing that the old master didn¡¯t care, Madam York angrily said and left.

    The smile on the old master¡¯s face gradually disappeared as he watched his sister leave angrily.

    If his sister, who he had not seen for many years, continued to cause trouble, it would probably harm the York family.

    The Jun Corporation had developed too much in the hands of his grandson. Even he felt a little afraid. After all, no one could dissuade Jun Shiling anymore.

    Other than Xia Wanyuan,

    However, Madam York wanted to make an issue of Xia Wanyuan.

    At least she had the same blood as him. The old master sighed and prepared to remind Madam York.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Not long after hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling had already arrived at the entrance of the production team.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the car door and was surrounded by a cool air.

    ¡°Come here.¡± Jun Shiling reached out his arm to her, and Xia Wanyuan habitually hugged him.

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and took out a wooden box from the preservation box.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan took it curiously and opened it. There was pink ice cream inside.

    ¡°I got a professional chef to make it. Try it.¡± Although he nagged Xia Wanyuan every day about not eating too much cold food and that it was not good for her health.

    However, knowing that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat it, Jun Shiling still transferred a chef who specialized in ice food from all over the world over here.

    ¡°I have something I need your help with.¡± Xia Wanyuan scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. It was sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not thick. It had a hint of coldness, making Xia Wanyuan narrow her eyes in satisfaction.

    ¡°What favor?¡±

    ¡°The Bai Xiangpany I recently bought. The boss said that he ced the original form in the safe in the office at that time and then disappeared. And the surveince cameras during that period of time were all damaged for no reason. Do you know that after the surveince cameras were damaged, they can still be repaired?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s naturally impossible to use ordinary methods.¡± Jun Shiling stopped midway, causing Xia Wanyuan to divert her attention from the ice cream to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°In other words, you can use a special method?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    ¡°Then can you help me recover it?¡± Although Jun Shiling had never said anything, Xia Wanyuan was a smart person. From the day she saw Jun Shiling holding a gun in the seventh prison, she had felt that the background and ability Jun Shiling had must be much more than what she had seen.

    ¡°A special method naturally has to be rewarded, right? CEO Xia, can we understand the value exchange?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes had a smile as he looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes meaningfully.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan swallowed a mouthful of ice cream and felt a chill in her mouth. Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯sposed expression, Xia Wanyuan put the ice cream box aside.

    Then, she slowly approached Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling felt a hint of the strawberry fragrance approaching him with a chill, and he could not help but swallow.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to kiss Jun Shiling¡¯s right cheek, but Jun Shiling suddenly tilted his head. Xia Wanyuan happened tond on the corner of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips.

    Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms and tasted the sweet strawberry vor.

    After a while, Jun Shiling finally let go of Xia Wanyuan and said as if he had not had enough, ¡°It¡¯s so sweet.¡±

    ¡°Is this considered a value exchange?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°This is not an equal exchange. The value you¡¯ve given me is too high. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to ask. Each time can be used for a month. As long as CEO Xia asks, I¡¯ll do anything.¡±

    ¡°What sweet words.¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh.

    ¡°That Madam York, don¡¯t worry about her status as my grandaunt. If she says anything nonsense in front of you, tell me.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t she your grandfather¡¯s sister? Won¡¯t it make things too difficult for him?¡± That Madam York was indeed a little annoying. If not for the fact that she was Old Master¡¯s sister, Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t have eaten at the same table as her.

    ¡°Ignore her. You¡¯re the most important,¡± Jun Shiling said and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead.

    ¡°Besides, Grandpa knows it very well,¡± Jun Shiling added. Old Master Jun was also an influential figure who controlled the Jun Corporation back then. He knew in his heart clearly who was close and who was distant.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Li Qingxue called Madam York, she submitted her resume to the Jun Corporation.

    Ignoring everything else, Li Qingxue herself was also an extremely outstanding talent. She graduated with full A results in a top-notch university worldwide. Furthermore, with her family¡¯s connections, she had once interned in many world-renowned enterprises during school.

    er personal resume could be said to be wless, so she passed the Jun Corporation¡¯s online preliminaries without any suspense and obtained the Jun Corporation¡¯s interview qualification.

    However, she did not expect that Madam York had returned to Ennd before she could set off for China.

    When she asked for the reason, Madam York only said that she was unwell and had to return to China early.

    Madam York was very supportive of Li Qingxue¡¯s decision to go to the Jun Corporation. She even handed over all the information on Jun Shiling that she had specially gathered from China to Li Qingxue.

    As for Jun Shiling having a child, Madam York had told Li Qingxue in advance, and Li Qingxue¡¯s decision was the same as Madam York¡¯s.

    Ever since she had caught a glimpse of Jun Shiling many years ago, she had a deep love for him. Furthermore, her status in the family was now awkward. If she could marry Jun Shiling, it would be extremely beneficial to herself.

    As long as she became Madam Jun, her son would be the most respected. Raising another person¡¯s son was no big deal.

    Just like that, Li Qingxue boarded a ne to China with Madam York¡¯s farewell.

 Chapter 397 - Debate in the Darkness

    <h4>Chapter 397: Debate in the Darkness</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan handed the damaged surveince tape to Jun Shiling. Not long after, aplete surveince tape was handed to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look.?<i>As expected.</i>

    She did not guess wrongly. Bai Xiang Corporation was the one who owned the original form, and the person who had stolen the form and sold it to Jia Yin Corporation had actually been working in Bai Xiang Corporation all along, pretending as if nothing had happened.

    With this surveince camera, all the relevant personnel who were involved in the theft of the form could be found. Xia Wanyuan directly sent the surveince camera to Shen Qian and exined the relevant matters.

    Back then, these people were bribed by Jia Yin Corporation with money. Now that they were facing a guaranteed video and with Shen Qian¡¯s temptation of money, they all switched sides and guaranteed that they would tell the judge the truth.

    Bai Xiang Company wanted to announce these facts directly. After all, they had been defamed by Jia Yin Corporation for too long and had a lot of anger in their hearts, but they were stopped by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wait. There¡¯s news that Jiayin Corporation has a batch of plum juice that is about to go public. Let them sell it first.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very calm. She would let them earn more first so that they would lose more in the future.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Old Madam of the Wei family had always had a strange attitude.

    The original owner of the body¡¯s mother was the younger daughter of the Wei family. The other two daughters were always looking for a husband to marry in, while the original owner¡¯s mother was married out. Logically speaking, Xia Wanyuan could be considered the maternal granddaughter of the Wei family, but Old Madam Wei did not seem to have any intention of acknowledging her as a granddaughter. She had also never introduced to the public that the Wei family had another granddaughter.

    It was as if she only treated Xia Wanyuan as dispensable.

    However, looking at the invitation in her hand, Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. She was actually invited to the Wei family meeting. Most importantly, the seat that had been arranged for her was beside the Old Madam.

    She was well-versed in political power and naturally knew what the seating arrangement meant.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what do you think Old Madam Wei is thinking?¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the invitation to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling paused when he saw the seating arrangement. ¡°Old Madam Wei is a character. You can go if you want. Anyway, I¡¯m here.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go and take a look.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never been a timid person. Since she had already sent her an invitation, there was nothing to be afraid of.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The June sun shone on Beijing until it was dazzling and hot. Even the birds could not endure such high temperatures, so hot that they hid among the trees.

    However, in some ces, it was a shade that even the sunlight could not shine on. The sunlight did not cross the windows, as if there was darkness inside that it was afraid of.

    ¡°I told you not to touch her.¡± A gentle voice sounded from the window.

    ¡°I told you too. Give me what I want, but it¡¯s been five years¡­¡± The same warm voice. If one was not extremely familiar with the two of them, they would not be able to tell the difference. At that moment, this voice had a hint of coldness. ¡°Brother, you disappoint me too much.¡±

    ¡°The Wei family is not that simple.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid your rtionship with Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t that simple, right?¡± A softugh overflowed. ¡°Brother, you make me very dissatisfied. Do you n to make me do it myself?¡±

    ¡°No need. Give me a little more time.¡± The gentle voice was as usual.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you two more months. If I don¡¯t see what I want, you know the consequences.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    With a bang, the conversation in the room stopped.

    After a while, a chuckle came from inside the house. ¡°Xia Wanyuan? Interesting.¡±

 Chapter 398 - The National Stage Praises the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 398: The National Stage Praises the Princess</h4>

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan began to post and draw on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount, more and more people liked Yuan Wanxia, and there were even more people who came to urge her to draft.

    Many people had the desire to buy the paintings that Yuan Wanxia had posted on her Weibo ount. Not only were there people from the 2D world, but there were also many rich business collectors.

    Under Jun Shiling¡¯s suggestion, Xia Wanyuan opened the purchasing channel on Weibo and ced all the photos she had posted in her Weibo shop. However, she did not set a price. Instead, she adopted an auction mode where the highest bidder would win.

    Reality proved that there were still many rich people in China, and Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting skills were indeed very good.

    In addition, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo ount was operating well and her fame was increasing. Many people felt that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting would gradually increase in value, so there were quite a number of people who bought it and the price they offered was higher.

    The most expensivendscape painting was sold for 3.6 million dors, and the second painting was sold for 120,000 dors.

    It had only been a day since the Weibo shop opened, but it had already earned 9.9 million RMB. This attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    After all, there were some shops on Weibo, but most of them sold clothes, jewelry, snacks, and so on. This was the first time someone had sold paintings so openly and at such a high price.

    [ Oh my god, I thought that artists were all immortal and not tainted by the world. I didn¡¯t expect them to love money. Isn¡¯t this too expensive? How can a lousy painting be sold for so much money? ]

    [ The person in front, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t know how to appreciate it. Can you note out and embarrass yourself? They didn¡¯t set the price themselves. If the buyer is willing to pay such a high price, can you control it? ]

    [ Speaking of which, does Old Yuanck money? Is there a need to lower your status and run to Weibo to set up a stall to sell money? ]

    [ I don¡¯t know how this Yuan Wanxia became popr. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen her win any big awards. I don¡¯t even know what she looks like, but all of them follow the trend and like her. Now that she¡¯s here to collect money, all of them are rushing to send him money. ]

    There were already many people who hated the rich on Weibo. When they saw Yuan Wanxia¡¯s actions of directly setting up a stall to sell paintings, they were agitated. They directly said in Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount that he ¡°had a bad appetite.¡±

    However, that night, Yuan Wanxia updated her status.

    Yuan Wanxia: ¡°I won¡¯t take a single cent from selling the paintings. I¡¯ll donate them all to the Western Desert to build the forest.¡±

    The screenshot was a public service thank-you note from the Western Breeze Engineering Project. It clearly wrote, ¡°Received 9.9 million dors from Yuan Wanxia.¡±

    In her previous life, the Xia Dynasty was located in the current northwest middle region. Every winter, it was gued by sandstorms. After Xia Wanyuan became part of the government, she had to spend arge amount of energy and resources on the disaster caused by the sandstorm every year.

    Hence, when choosing a public service project, Xia Wanyuan directly chose the Breeze Engineering in the West Forest.

    After Yuan Wanxia posted this Weibo post, the anti-fans could no longer jump. After all, they asked themselves honestly if they could donate all their profits from selling paintings and the answer was that they definitely could not.

    Those who already liked Yuan Wanxia admired her even more now.

    This story of selling paintings to build forests even led many fans and passers-by to pay attention to the Breeze Engineering. Seeing the deste desert and the bleakness under the sandstorm, everyone even aroused the mentality of environmental protection. Instantly, arge number of donations surged into the Breeze Engineering Project.

    On the authoritative news of the national television station the next day, in the half an hour news session, they spent half a minute reporting the news about Yuan Wanxia, praising it as ¡°contemporary positive energy¡±.

    Hence, before Xia Wanyuan could enter the national television station, Yuan Wanxia had already be a guest of the national television station¡¯s authoritative news.

 Chapter 399 - Mommy, Daddy Bullied Me!

    <h4>Chapter 399: Mommy, Daddy Bullied Me!</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan knew that the national television station was very authoritative in China because they represented the official theme. Many celebrities were proud of programs that could be on national television stations, even entertainment programs.

    Needless to say, news that dominated the national broadcast. at seven o¡¯clock every night for half an hour. Not to mention the entertainment industry, only a rich person like Jun Shiling, who had a huge influence in the country, had the right to have a dedicated report.

    The reason why Xia Wanyuan could upy a ce in it was rted to the country¡¯s desire to evoke people¡¯s awareness of environmental protection in the past few years. In the recent decades, the economy had developed rapidly and had caused great damage to the environment. Coincidentally, with Xia Wanyuan as an opportunity, the national television station used her as an entry point to promote the importance of forest production to the public.

    ¡°Mommy!! Didn¡¯t you draw that painting?!!¡± That night, Jun Shiling switched on the television early and saw the news report.

    When Xia Wanyuan was painting, Xiao Bao often apanied her and recognized it at a nce.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Mommy, why did they say that you¡¯re an old man?¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened when he heard the news about the old Master Yuan Wanxia.

    <i>Nonsense! My mommy was clearly young and beautiful.</i>

    ¡°They¡¯re mistaken. They¡¯ll know in the future.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed.?<i>Perhaps the outside world had an impression that people with high painting standards are all old.</i>

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan beside him. She did not show any signs of being arrogant after being praised by the national authorities. She was still as calm as a lotus.

    It was precisely because she was so calm andposed that she could draw such a leisurely painting. Jun Shiling felt that Xia Wanyuan was better than before every day.

    The news about Xia Wanyuan had already finished broadcasting on the television. Xiao Bao opened his eyes wide to see if there was any more news about Xia Wanyuan. Suddenly, arge hand covered his eyes.

    Smelling the familiar pine fragrance, Xiao Bao was furious. ¡°Daddy, why are you covering my eyes!!¡±

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan exchanged a short and gentle kiss. Sensing the little dumpling¡¯s struggles, Jun Shiling quickly let go of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xiao Bao finally freed his face from Jun Shiling¡¯srge palm. His cheeks that had puffed up from anger made him look even more chubby.

    Xiao Bao puffed up his face for a while, then realized that Jun Shiling was staring at Xia Wanyuan, while Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and her ears were red.

    ¡°Bad person! Don¡¯t you realize that I¡¯m angry?! Daddy, why did you cover my eyes? Are you doing something bad?¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was ignoring him, Xiao Bao crawled into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms through Jun Shiling¡¯s legs. ¡°Mommy, Daddy bullied me. He¡¯s a bad person.¡±

    ¡°Mm, your father bullied me too. He¡¯s indeed a bad person.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head and red at Jun Shiling with him.

    A helpless smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He reached out to carry Xiao Bao over and carried him upstairs to sleep.

    Xiao Bao struggled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms a few times but realized that he could not break free at all. He could only stay in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms obediently and hug Jun Shiling¡¯s neck fawningly.

    ¡°Daddy, I was just joking. You¡¯re actually the best. You¡¯re the best father in the world.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly.

    Xiao Bao kissed Jun Shiling¡¯s right cheek. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯ll give you a kiss of love. Don¡¯t hit me.¡±

    ¡°Who did you learn from every day?¡± Jun Shiling nced at his son. He had even learned to act cute and curry favor.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xiao Bao was used to seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. Seeing his expression, he knew that he was not angry anymore and became smug again.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The influence of the national television station was obvious. Even elders in very remote areas had seen on television that there was such a painter who donated all the sales of paintings to the Western Forest Creation Project. Yuan Wanxia¡¯s reputation in everyone¡¯s hearts had be very good, and his fans on Weibo had also increased.

    At this moment, many media reporters wanted to interview this mysterious old man. But strangely, no one could find Yuan Wanxia.

    In an instant, all sorts of mysterious legends about Yuan Wanxia appeared.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan did not pay attention to this. She was thinking about how to post on Weibo.

    Tang Yin had told her that she had to post more Weibo to close the distance with her fans, but she felt that there was nothing to post.

    After thinking for a long time, she saw the ice cream beside her. She took it and scooped a mouthful into her mouth. Then, her phone clicked.

    <i>With selfies and a life story, this should satisfy Tang Yin¡¯s request now, right?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to use photoshop, so she directly posted the original picture, edited a few simple words, and sent it.

    At the same time, manyizens received news of Xia Wanyuan updating her Weibo.

    When they poked in and saw the beauty eating ice cream under the shade of the tree, their hearts skipped a beat.

    [ Fairy Sister used her beauty to kill me today too. ]

    [ Ah, I¡¯m dead. She¡¯s so beautiful even without makeup!! So beautiful! ]

    [ Focus on filming and don¡¯t cause trouble. Don¡¯t stick to my Yan Ci, thank you. ]

    [ The person in front, are you crazy? Who¡¯s sticking to your Yan Ci? Why are you so shameless? Why would Xia Wanyuan need to stick to your brother when she¡¯s rich and pretty? Fans of persecutory delusions. ]

    The atmosphere was originally fine, but because of a sentence from the fans, they began to argue in thements section.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, who had oncemented on Jun Shiling¡¯s ount 111111111, saw a repost post on the square when they searched for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Ice cream isn¡¯t as sweet as you. I¡¯ll buy it for you after you finish it.¡±

    The fan saw that this person was quite good at imagining things.?<i>Does our Yuan Yuan need you to buy ice cream?</i>

    She looked up at the Weibo name.

    <i>Whoa! Someone familiar!</i>

    The previous time, herments had been deleted by this person, and she had note to argue with him. This time, she had actually bumped into him again.

    In order to find this fake Jun Shiling, she had specially followed him and became the first fan of this ount that looked like it was selling films.

    I want to book the entire Disnend. ¡°Brother, let me advise you. If you¡¯re sick, go and treat it. Can you stop imagining things? Isn¡¯t it tiring to live in fantasy? Can my goddess eat the ice cream you bought? Also, can you change your name? Jun Shiling¡¯s name isn¡¯t something you can use casually.¡±

    Not long after Jun Shiling finished reposting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo, he received ament. He clicked on it and saw that it was the same one as before.

    Jun Shiling raised his hand and wanted to reply, but on second thought, he decided to forget it. There would be a day when they would know the truth.

    The form for the plum drink from Bai Xiang Corporation was indeed very good. Jiayin Corporation produced arge number of drinks ording to the form and quickly sold out. ording to the marketing department, Jiayin Corporation directly increased the quantity by five times in the second batch and still earned a lot.

    Hence, on the third batch, Jiayin Corporation became even more daring and produced ten times the amount. Because the reputation of the previous batch had been especially good, even with such arge quantity, the orders were still full. Jiayin Corporation was only waiting to collect money.

    At that moment, news came from the court that thewsuit regarding the case of Jiayin and Bai Xiang had started.

 Chapter 400 - Lawsuit Begins Invitation to the Academy of Arts and Sciences

    <h4>Chapter 400: Lawsuit Begins Invitation to the Academy of Arts and Sciences</h4>

    The opening of the court attracted the attention of many people, as all kinds of media reporters were squatting outside the court. Various live-stream channels were opened.

    Originally, not many people paid attention to such copyright infringement cases involving secret forms.

    However, the manager of Jiayin¡¯s publicity department was a ¡°ghostly¡± talent. He had always been good at using various social hot news events and hot figures to promote Jiayin Corporation¡¯s products.

    In a previous contract dispute with a certain Best Actor, the publicity department of Jiayin had used the great poprity of the Best Actor to spread the news reports everywhere. In the end, everyone who followed this case knew about the new product of Jiayin Corporation.

    This time, they did the same thing and did all sorts of publicity in the early stages.

    ¡°Why did Xiafeng Corporation take the initiative to acquire it?¡± ¡°Xia Wanyuan actually endorsed the theft of the product?¡± ¡°Who will win the fight between Xiafeng Jia Yin¡± and other news reports were promoted to the market one after another.

    Many people held the mentality of watching the fun, as well as some fans in the entertainment industry who paid attention to Xia Wanyuan, quietly watched the drama between these two families.

    The number of people in the live-stream gradually increased.

    Until Xia Wanyuan appeared on the scene in a ck suit, the number of viewers in the live-stream soared to the highest.

    Xia Wanyuan had just pushed open the car door when many microphones were handed to her. A group of reporters surrounded her like crazy.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the reporters who were about to squeeze onto her and frowned slightly.

    Tang Yin casually took a microphone from the side and switched on the microphone. ¡°Please maintain a distance of two meters from us. I believe everyone came here to film the news and not to enter the court as the used, right?¡±

    Under Tang Yin¡¯s unyielding tone, the reporters stepped back hesitantly, but they still surrounded the car tightly.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open a little, and her ck high heels stepped on the ground.

    Xia Wanyuan had her long hair scattered behind her back today. A ck suit made her look valiant. She walked out of the car and stood at the door.

    With just a simple nce, Xia Wanyuan, who had ink-ck hair and red lips, made everyone present submit from the bottom of their hearts.

    Xia Wanyuan walked forward with a cold expression.

    ¡°Miss Xia, may I know why you¡¯re here today? What do you think of the copyright infringement of Bai Xiang Company?¡± A reporter suddenly threw a question in the silence.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the question. The bold reporter was now trembling.

    ¡°Xiafeng Corporation has just bought over Bai Xiang Corporation, so why can¡¯t Ie? As for the infringement you mentioned, the court has not even ruled it out. Why must everyone decide so early?¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she continued to walk out.

    With every step she took, everyone consciously took a step back. There were so many reporters and staff present, yet they actually watched Xia Wanyuan walk into the court quietly.

    And the way she walked, everyone consciously stood as if they were escorting and submitting to her.

    [ Oh my god, putting aside the lousy matter between her and Bai Xiang Corporation, I like this face too much. Sister is too valiant. I love her so much!!!! ]

    [ Sister¡¯s high heels are not on the ground. They¡¯re on my heart. ]

    [ I want to be pressed against the wall by Xia Wanyuan and kissed. Boohoo, boohoo, beautiful and A, amazing! ]

    [ Hello, is this a chicken stall?? I have a few chickens I caught. Do you want them? ]

    [ Hello, I¡¯m from the chicken cutlet shop. We have too many chickens in our shop to finish roasting. I suggest you make a big te of chicken on the spot. ]

    When Xia Wanyuanpletely entered the court and they could not even see her back, the reporters realized what they hade for and hurriedly followed her into the court.

    As the intiff, therge legal team of Jiayin Corporation disyed all sorts of evidence directly. The reporters recorded it one after another, and the audience in thements also felt that Jiayin Corporation would definitely win this round.

    ¡°Alright, the intiff¡¯s statement is over. Does the defendant have any more questions?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± The legal affairs of Bai Xiang Company, who had been timid when the court first began, were now full of vigor and appeared to be confident. ¡°Everyone, please take a look at this recording.¡±

    The cameraman clicked on the video and showed a person who had appeared as a ¡°witness¡±. He crouched down and snuck into Bai Xiang Corporation¡¯s safe. After stealing the form, he even met with Jiayin Corporation in a very hidden ce.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s people followed the clues and found this ce, then found the surveince video.

    By the time the video was yed, the entire court was in an uproar, and the faces of the people from Jiayin Corporation had already turned green.

    They would never have thought that the surveince camera could be restored after being destroyed to such a state.

    Next, Bai Xiang Corporation released a lot of evidence and relevant witnesses.

    An hourter, the judge announced in court that Jiayin had lost the copyright infringement case.

    The point of watching the beverage industry giants and smallpanies y a game and end up being tragically defeated was much better than the victory of Jiayin Corporation.

    Hence, these media reporters that Jiayin Corporation had spent a lot of money to hire became knives that stabbed themselves, making one¡¯s heart ache.

    However, at this moment, Jiayin Corporation no longer had the ability to care about the news reports. They were worried about how terrifying the loss of ten times the orders would be.

    Because they had infringed on rights, thisrge batch of products would be dealt with. Just thepensation would greatly damage the vitality of Jiayin Corporation.

    On the contrary, Bai Xiang Corporation had made a killing. Because Jiayin Corporation had helped them open up the market channels in advance, the market demand was huge.

    Since the manufacturers could not get the goods from Jiayin, they turned to Xiafeng Group.

    Just because of this plum beverage, Xia Wanyuan had earned nearly twenty million dors. She had truly made a profit and was a legend in the industry.

    Every painting of Yuan Wanxia had poetry. Some literary lovers had specially studied the poems on it and realized that they could not be found in historical records. They suspected that Yuan Wanxia had created them herself.

    Professor Zhang himself had such doubts. With the doubts of his friends from the liberal arts academy, he ran to ask Xia Wanyuan and received an affirmative answer.

    Xia Wanyuan was considered one of the few women in the Xia Dynasty who had read many books. Even the imperial teacher had praised Xia Wanyuan for her talent in poetry.

    Upon hearing the news brought back by Professor Zhang, his old friend from the liberal arts academy had some thoughts.

    They were still sorting out many ancient texts and ssics. If Yuan Wanxia was really quite proficient in poetry, it would be very beneficial for their work to have such a person to help give them some advice.

 Chapter 401 - Exposed Pictures of the Crew

    <h4>Chapter 401: Exposed Pictures of the Crew</h4>

    Under Professor Zhang¡¯s enthusiastic invitation, Xia Wanyuan sent some of the articles she had written in her previous life to the email address of the liberal arts academy. When the professors of the liberal arts academy saw it, they knew that this Master Yuan Wanxia must be a person with extremely high literary standards.

    He immediately applied for a spot as a special consultant with the school. There was no ce for a special consultant, only a nomination, but there was a sry reward, so the application waspleted very quickly.

    Due to the fact that Master Yuan Wanxia had always been very mysterious and the Qing University respected her mystery, they did not probe into her identity andmunicated via email.

    Hence, before Xia Wanyuan had even attended a real modern university, she had inexplicably be an academic consultant for the highest institution in China.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little cautious. After all, in the five thousand years in China and more than a thousand years after the Great Xia Dynasty, the cultural history behind this was unknown.

    Regarding the previous books of the Great Xia Dynasty, she could not be humble and say that she had read all of them, but towards the thousand years that she had directly crossed over, she had an extremely great reverence.

    Hence, whenever Xia Wanyuan had time, she would read, wanting to make up for the thousand years of history and culture after the Great Xia Dynasty.

    There was such a magical scene in the production team.

    When Xia Wanyuan had scenes, she acted seriously.

    When Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have any scenes, she was reading an ancient book that was as heavy as a brick.

    After filming, Yan Ci leaned over to take a look. ¡°24 History¡±.

    ¡­.

    Yan Ci was stunned. He carefully looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reading expression, which did not seem to be fake.

    However, the speed at which she flipped the book was a little faster than ordinary people. Yan Ci felt that he might not have time to finish the first line, but Xia Wanyuan flipped the page directly.

    For a moment, Yan Ci didn¡¯t know if Xia Wanyuan was really looking or pretending. He sat quietly at the side and watched Xia Wanyuan study.

    Xia Wanyuan had not changed out of the white orchid cheongsam she had worn for filming. Yan Ci was wearing a military uniform and a hat, looking like a young general who had walked out of the country.

    The two of them sat together. Although the background was only a simple production studio, their temperament made it feel as if they were sitting on a stormy beach.

    Initially, the weather was so hot that he was going to change his clothes. Who would have thought that halfway through the journey, he would be attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance? He sat there for a long time.

    Far away from the production team, the ultra-high-definition camera used by the sisters was clicking non-stop, including Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan into their shots.

    When the picture was sent back to the picture station, there was a very sensitive picture station that sensed some poprity.

    Due to the fact that the production team had a rule that prohibited the scene of the clothes from being leaked, the photo station yed a marathon, and the clothes were slightly mosaiced. The background was slightly blurred before the photos were sent.

    As expected, this picture became popr the moment it was posted.

    Under the tree in the summer, the sunlight was the best lighting technician. Xia Wanyuan lowered her head slightly and looked at the book in her hand. Her eyshes were distinct and she looked gentle and beautiful. As for Yan Ci, he had not taken off his military uniform and looked a little domineering and wanton. He was quietly looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile.

    Initially, even Yan Ci¡¯s fans did not believe that their idol would look good in ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. After all, the reputation of the country drama in the market had been too bad over the years.

    However, when they saw this picture, many fans screamed.

 Chapter 402 - Li Qingxue Meeting Jun Shiling

    <h4>Chapter 402: Li Qingxue Meeting Jun Shiling</h4>

    [ Ahhh!! My husband is too handsome!! The top young master in Shanghai! ]

    [ Did Xia Wanyuan save the gxy in her previous life, so she gets to act in front of such a handsome face every day? Boohoo, I¡¯m so envious. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful. Why didn¡¯t Yan Ci save the gxy? To be able to act with such a fairy. Speaking of which, did you notice the book Xia Wanyuan is reading? Why does it look like ¡®Twenty-Four History¡¯ to me? ]

    [ A passerby from the History Academy said that she¡¯s reading ¡¯24 History¡¯, and it¡¯s without annotation. I wonder if she really can understand the original version or if she¡¯s pretending. ]

    Although many fans were happy to see fresh idol photos, more people were criticizing the photos at the photo station for hyping up the production team¡¯s photos in advance for the sake of traffic.

    Most importantly, in this picture, it was obvious that Yan Ci was looking at Xia Wanyuan affectionately. This made Yan Ci¡¯s fans very unhappy. They felt that this picture was deliberately taken at this time by the photo station.

    Soon, Yan Ci¡¯s fans and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans quarreled. The reason was that Yan Ci¡¯s fans thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s team had specially created this publicity stunt.

    heir reason was also very convincing: Who would normally watch ¡°24 History¡± on the production team? It would be strange if Xia Wanyuan did not pose for photos! She must have joined forces with the photo station to use Yan Ci¡¯s fame to hype things up.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans expressed that they wanted to retort a little, but they did not know where to retort. After all, from the bottom of their hearts, they also felt that a difficult book like ¡°24 History¡± could not be associated with the word ¡°actor¡±.

    Wherever there were fans, there would be continuous wars. Xia Wanyuan looked at the struggles on Weibo and felt very helpless. This was the first sentence she had said in the Weibo fan group for so long.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to argue. Ignore what others think.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were mostly fans of the Buddha faculty. After all, Xia Wanyuan was a person of the Buddha faculty who could not post on Weibo for a month or two. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had said so, everyone obediently shut their mouths.

    Halfway through their scolding, Yan Ci¡¯s fans realized that there was no one else around. They also felt that it was boring and both parties temporarily stopped fighting.

    However, thements about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s publicity stunts never disappeared.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan had called Jun Shiling during the filming break, Jun Shiling had always timed it. As long as Xia Wanyuan was free, he would call her.

    Even if he had personally sent her to the production team in the morning and he would see her at night.

    Sometimes it was a few simple words, and sometimes it was a short conversation. The executives of the Jun Corporation would never have thought that CEO Jun, who had sat there resolutely and decisively the previous second, would close the office door and gently and patiently instruct Xia Wanyuan to eat less cold food.

    ¡°Got it. CEO Jun, aren¡¯t you busy?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears burned from Jun Shiling¡¯s maic voice.

    ¡°I¡¯m quite busy.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s mouse did not stop moving as he marked the important points on theputer. ¡°Are you busy this afternoon?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan nced at the notice. She doesn¡¯t have any part to film in the afternoon.¡± I¡¯m not busy. ¡±

    ¡°Thene over at noon. Let¡¯s eat together. I want to see you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say that they only went out together in the morning, okay?

    However, it could not be denied that she was ted by Jun Shiling¡¯s obvious love.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Alright, everyone here is a high-quality talent who has survived throughyers of selection. The Jun Corporation wees everyone. Everyone¡¯s trial process here is a two-way selection process. I hope that after everyone¡¯s trial period ends, I can see everyone on the official admission list.¡±

    In the meeting room, the HR manager was talking to the new employees.

    At the meeting table, an extremely exquisite woman with especially prominent facial features was sizing up everything around her.

    Although she had received Chinese education since she was young and knew China¡¯s culture very well, this was the first time she hade to China.

    Under the guidance of the HR manager, the new employees understood the general framework of the Jun Corporation. Her longing for Jun Shiling increased.

    <i>How outstanding must a man be to be able to control such a huge business empire?</i>

    Many years ago, at a university lecture, she had seen that boy calm andposed as he controlled the entire scene. From then on, she decided that she must make Jun Shiling her husband in the future. Only such an outstanding boy was worthy of her.

    ¡°Alright, everyone can return to your desks to familiarize yourselves with the environment.¡± The HR manager put away the documents. ¡°Remember that the 100th floor is CEO Jun¡¯s office. Without CEO Jun¡¯s permission, no one is to barge in. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves.¡±

    Li Qingxue was an extremely intelligent person. Even though she wanted to see Jun Shiling very much, she knew that she had just arrived and could not act rashly. She could only wait for an opportunity to act.

    After a few days of observation, from the fact that the HR manager had to even buy a branded keychain, she came to the conclusion that this person loved money very much. At first, she had hinted to him, but the HR manager had rejected her.

    When she directly increased the price by five times, the human resources manager relented and arranged for her to go to the secretary¡¯s office to help out with the others.

    Lin Jing had been sent to the south by Jun Shiling for a business trip these few days, so he needed the secretary¡¯s help with the office.

    Li Qingxue was capable, beautiful, and knew how to create opportunities for herself. From her words, she did not show any desire for Jun Shiling. Hence, she quickly stood at the secretary¡¯s office and gained everyone¡¯s trust, giving her the chance to follow them to the hundredth floor.

    ¡°Qingxue, please send this document to CEO Jun¡¯s office and ask him to sign it. I have something to attend to here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Qingxue took the document and was extremely excited.

    She had been here for so long and had never really seen Jun Shiling before. She immediately held the documents and suppressed the joy on her face as she walked calmly towards Jun Shiling¡¯s office.

    Knock, knock. She knocked on the door gently three times.

    ¡°Come in.¡± A deep voice sounded.

    Li Qingxue quickly walked into the office. ¡°CEO Jun, this is the document that needs your signature. Please take a look.¡±

    A pair of well-defined hands took the document. Only then did Li Qingxue dare to look up at Jun Shiling.

    What she saw stunned her. It was different from the Jun Shiling in her impression. The Jun Shiling in front of her had controlled the Jun Corporation for many years. Compared to before, he had the aura of an unfathomable superior. His cold side profile made her heart beat faster.

    Soon, Jun Shiling signed the document and handed it to Li Qingxue.

    ¡°Okay, thank you, CEO Jun.¡± A clear female voice sounded. Jun Shiling looked up and met with Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes, which were deeper than those of the Chinese with the faint blue color in her pupils.

    Jun Shiling was dazed.

    <h4>Chapter 403: The Princess Is Jealous Something Happened to Xiao Bao</h4>

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze, Li Qingxue could not help but lower her eyes and blush. Hence, she did not see Jun Shiling¡¯s frown.

    Jun Shiling had always had a photographic memory. The intern in front of him reminded him of a family in Europe.

    ¡°You¡¯re from the Sai De family?¡± Jun Shiling finally asked.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Qingxue looked up and looked straight at Jun Shiling, forcing herself to calm down. ¡°I¡¯m the 15th generation member of the Sai De family. Madam York is¡­¡±

    ¡°Sorry to disturb you. Is CEO Jun busy now?¡± The office door had been pushed open at some point in time, and a woman wearing a mask and sunsses was standing at the door looking over.

    ¡°Alright, you can leave first.¡±

    Li Qingxue swallowed her words. She nced at the woman who was wrapped tightly at the door and then at Jun Shiling. rm bells rang in Li Qingxue¡¯s heart.

    When Jun Shiling saw the woman at the door, his expression clearly softened.

    She had heard from Madam York that this person was probably that little celebrity. Li Qingxue carried the documents and slowly walked out. When she passed Xia Wanyuan, she sized her up arrogantly. Her posture was provocative, and then she walked out and closed the door.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t have a chance in the afternoon, I¡¯ll go back early with you. It¡¯s Friday today, so I¡¯ll bring you to eat delicious food.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask, and Jun Shiling had no thoughts about Li Qingxue at all just now. He only felt that Li Qingxue resembled someone from the Sai De family, so he asked. Hence, he did not notice Xia Wanyuan¡¯s emotions.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan took off her mask and sunsses, and took a sip of the cold tea.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? If you think the weather is hot, we¡¯ll go over at night.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered the temperature in the room a little and sat beside Xia Wanyuan. He wanted to hug her, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re too busy. There¡¯s no need for you toe.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never experienced jealousy in her previous life. She only felt that the scene just now was a little blinding and felt ufortable. Towards Jun Shiling¡¯s suggestion, she subconsciously wanted to reject it.

    Jun Shiling was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clearly sarcastic tone. After thinking about it, he figured out what was going on, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes.

    ¡°Tsk, what a strong vinegar smell.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°That person just now was a new employee. I¡¯ll transfer her out of the secretary¡¯s office in the afternoon. I just felt that her eyes resembled those of the Sai De family in Continent O. That¡¯s Madam York¡¯s inws, so I asked.¡±

    Jun Shiling had never hidden anything from Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was not an unreasonable person to begin with. She knew Jun Shiling¡¯s character, but even with Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation, she still felt that the scene just now was a little suffocating.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was still a little ugly, Jun Shiling decided to postpone his afternoon work.

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you alone in the afternoon. Madam, don¡¯t be angry with me.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Jun Shiling had always doted on Xia Wanyuan enough normally. Now that she was throwing a tantrum, Jun Shiling would agree to anything she asked. He did not even let Xia Wanyuan eat the food herself and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan was touched and amused to see that Jun Shiling was really not working anymore to apany her. ¡°Why are you doing this? Do you think I¡¯m especially unreasonable?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a sincere smile. ¡°I like to see you jealous for me. Really.¡±

    Jun Shiling had originally nned to take Xia Wanyuan to the manor in the suburbs to avoid the heat, but before the two of them could leave thepany, the chauffeur who was in charge of fetching Xiao Bao called in a hurry.

    ¡°Young Master, I didn¡¯t receive Little Master at the entrance of the kindergarten!!¡±

 Chapter 404 - Saving Xiao Bao Reporting to the Professor

    <h4>Chapter 404: Saving Xiao Bao Reporting to the Professor</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had already packed her bag and was about to leave, when she saw Jun Shiling pick up a call and his expression immediately turned cold.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked after Jun Shiling hung up the phone.

    Jun Shiling had always been very calm when it came to other things. For him to have such an expression, something must have happened.

    ¡°The chauffeur said that he didn¡¯t receive Jun Yin.¡± Jun Shiling frowned and sent a message on his phone. Instantly, the hidden sentries in Beijing began to move.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first reaction was that the other party wanted money.

    After all, the son of the richest man was priceless.

    However, on second thought, Xiao Bao had many people following and protecting him. To be able to get someone away under such high-density surveince in Beijing, he must not be a simple force.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Seeing that she was very worried, he tightened his grip.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t worry too much. I know who took him away. He¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    ¡°Is it the Zheng family?¡± Xia Wanyuan sorted out her thoughts and quickly found the problem.

    ¡°I think so.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°I¡¯ll bring Jun Yin back. It¡¯s not convenient for you to show your face. Wait for me at home.¡±

    ¡°I want to go with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the mask and put it on. No matter how much she trusted Jun Shiling, she would still worry about Xiao Bao. She couldn¡¯t let herself sit at home and wait for news with peace of mind.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment and agreed.

    At that moment, the technicians had also found the kindergarten surveince in the afternoon. They realized that a group of people had carried a suitcase out of the school gate at noon and graciously boarded a white van.

    The people who had taken Xiao Bao away clearly did not deliberately want to erase their traces. On the contrary, they seemed to have deliberately passed under all the obvious cameras. Then, the car drove out of the city and into a mountain in the suburbs.

    ¡°Bring Zheng Yun out of prison.¡± Xia Wanyuan drove the car and flew all the way. Jun Shiling sat in the front passenger seat and issued orders.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m a little dizzy. Can you loosen my arm?¡± Xiao Bao was covered in his suitcase until he left the suburbs.

    He was washing his hands in the bathroom when a few people suddenly jumped out from behind and carried him away. At first, he struggled a little, butter on, he realized that he could not break free from the strength of the few adult men, so he obediently stopped moving.

    His father had taught him that he could not fight head-on and had to conserve his strength.

    ¡°Stay here quietly!¡± The few people in charge of guarding Xiao Bao were all specially trained guards and did not fall for Xiao Bao¡¯s tricks.

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao pursed his lips.

    Every time he acted coquettishly to Mommy, this move would work. Mommy would even rub his head and hug him.

    Xiao Bao looked at the mess around him and the tall and strong guard. Tears streamed down his face.

    <i>Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. I miss Mommy so much. Mommy, where are you? Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo.</i>

    The guard beside him turned a deaf ear to the child¡¯s sobs. They were only responsible for watching over this child.

    Xiao Bao sobbed for a long time. When he was tired, hey on the bed and looked out of the window, waiting for his parents to save him.

    When they arrived at the entrance of the mountain, as expected, the Zheng family was guarding the door.

    ¡°Young Master Jun, didn¡¯t you refuse to meet me no matter what? What brings you here today?¡± Zheng Han, the younger generation of the Zheng family, who had not seen Jun Shiling the previous time he went to the manor, looked at Jun Shiling mockingly with a cigarette in his mouth.

    ¡°Cut the crap. Zheng Yun is in the car behind. Bring Jun Yin out.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were cold, as if he was suppressing an extremely deep look.

    ¡°Come with me, Young Master Jun.¡± Zheng Han led the way while Xia Wanyuan drove and followed.

    ¡°Daddy!¡± Xiao Bao saw Jun Shiling from afar and called out excitedly.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan entered the mountain, she had felt that something was wrong. Although she couldn¡¯t say what it looked like, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s senses had always been very urate. The previous time in Lin Xi City, she had this bad feeling.

    ¡°Agree to whatever conditions you haveter. I think there¡¯s something strange here. It¡¯s best to leave first,¡± Xia Wanyuan said to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I know.¡± In just a while, Jun Shiling caught the key point from the various information gathered below.

    The Zheng family did not interfere in this matter. Zheng Han was just a puppet. There was someone else behind this matter.

    Thinking of the most likely person, Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes and took out his phone to send a message to Bo Xiao.

    Zheng Han and Zheng Yun were brothers of the same mother. He had created such a situation to exchange for Zheng Yun. Now, seeing Zheng Yun behind Jun Shiling, he waved at the guard.

    ¡°Exchange together.¡±

    The guard holding Xiao Bao walked forward and let go at the same time. Xiao Baonded steadily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Daddy, boohoo, boohoo, my hand hurts.¡± As soon as he hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, Xiao Bao began to cry loudly. Tears of grievance fell like beans. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached just looking at him in the car.

    Zheng Han was not afraid that Jun Shiling would do anything to him because he was from the Zheng family. He was relieved to see his brother back.

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao straight out of the mountain. Halfway through,

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped the car and looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling happened to look over.

    ¡°That person didn¡¯t show up.¡± The two of them actually said the same thing.

    At first, Xia Wanyuan thought that Zheng Han had caused all this, but when she saw the real person, she gave up on the idea.

    The security around Xiao Bao could not be broken easily. Zheng Han, who could be seen through, could not do it.

    Although the two things did not look alike at all, the matter of Xiao Bao being arrested today reminded Xia Wanyuan of the mysterious earthquake she had encountered.

    She felt that there was the same dark hand controlling these two matters.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back first,¡± Jun Shiling said gently.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling lowered his eyes and gave an order. All the people and things hidden outside the mountain gradually retreated, as if nothing had happened.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Professor Zhang¡¯s wife had already gone to the academy to urge them a few times. The academy finally agreed that Yuan Wanxia could fill in the application form first.

    The school would prepare a case first. If Yuan Wanxia passed the inspection, she could be a guest professor at the Arts department of Qing University.

    Professor Zhang hurriedly told Xia Wanyuan the good news.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was coaxing Xiao Bao, who was abnormally clingy because of the shock, fell silent when she saw the application form sent by Professor Zhang.

    Regarding gender, height, weight, and age, Xia Wanyuan did not know how to write.

    Once she handed in the form, everyone¡¯s impression of Yuan Wanxia¡¯s immortal style, beard, and white hair would probably be destroyed.

 Chapter 405 - Xiao Bao Arrives at the Jun Corporation

    <h4>Chapter 405: Xiao Bao Arrives at the Jun Corporation</h4>

    ¡°Mommy, I want to eat milk candy.¡± Because of the kidnapping, Xiao Bao had been specially granted by Jun Shiling to rest at home for a few days and receive counseling therapy from a psychiatrist.

    Xiao Bao, who did not need to go to school for the time being, was a divine beast at home. Of course, he was still very obedient in front of Xia Wanyuan, other than liking to act coquettishly and ask for milk candy.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already eaten three. You can¡¯t eat anymore.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, please¡­¡± Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. He smelled like milk.

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to eat it.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling had already walked over and picked Xiao Bao up, putting him aside.

    ¡°Bad Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and looked at Xia Wanyuan. Knowing that there was no hope for milk candy, he stopped asking and quietly yed with the toys.

    ¡°Application form?¡± Jun Shiling leaned over to Xia Wanyuan and looked at it.

    ¡°Mm, I have to fill in personal information. Do you think they will believe me if I fill in this?¡± Xia Wanyuan typed a few lines of information on theputer.

    ¡°No. Just fill it in. Someone else will find out eventually.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s suggestion, Xia Wanyuan sent thepleted form to the Qing University email.

    The teacher in charge of receiving relevant applications opened the email first and looked at it before pulling the email into the trash station.

    After deleting the email, the teacher even specially called the center in charge of the school¡¯s informationwork security.

    ¡°Please set up some protective walls for the school email. Messy emails keep being sent to me recently.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan was very busy and had many scenes to film every day, so Xiao Bao could only be brought along by Jun Shiling.

    Xiao Bao had been stuffed in the suitcase for a long time and had been a little afraid of being alone recently, so Jun Shiling brought him into thepany.

    Hence, that morning, the employees of the Jun Corporation saw the cold Jun Shiling holding hands with a cute child who was wearing a mask and had big grape-like eyes.

    Jun Shiling had long legs, and little cutie could not keep up with Jun Shiling by walking alone. Hence, he skipped beside him like a happy little rabbit.

    Therge group of employees passing by the hall, standing at the counter and waiting for the elevator, watched the two figures pass through the hall. Everyone looked extremely calm, but once Jun Shiling entered the elevator, the hall seemed to be water that just boiled and instantly became fiery.

    ¡°Is this CEO Jun¡¯s son?!!!! F*ck!! Sister can!!¡±

    ¡°Although I can¡¯t be the child¡¯s stepmother, I can wait for my younger brother for another fifteen years!!¡±

    ¡°Do you dare to say this in front of CEO Jun? In a while, let CEO Jun know that you¡¯re coveting Little Master. See how many lives you have.¡±

    ¡°Goodbye, goodbye. But he¡¯s really cute. I feel like he¡¯s the kind of little cutie who has a childish voice when he speaks!!¡±

    The little cutie was squatting outside the office curiously and looking around. He had never been to the Jun Corporation before, so he was very curious about everything here.

    The Jun Corporation was safe, so Jun Shiling allowed Xiao Bao to wander around the office while he went to the meeting.

    ¡°Hello, Uncle Lin.¡± Seeing Lin Jinge up to deliver something, Xiao Bao leaned over and called out.

    ¡°Hello, uncles.¡± Seeing that there were other people around Lin Jing, Xiao Bao greeted them obediently.

    ¡°Little Master, y here for a while. Uncle wille and y with you after the meeting,¡± Lin Jing instructed before bringing the others into the meeting room.

    Xiao Bao was strolling around when someone suddenly stopped him.

 Chapter 406 - Xiao Bao Helped Xia Yu Take Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 406: Xiao Bao Helped Xia Yu Take Revenge</h4>

    ¡°What a cute little baby. Baby, what are you doing here?¡±

    Xiao Bao turned around and saw an especially beautiful woman standing behind him.

    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for Daddy to y with me after the meeting,¡± Xiao Bao replied word by word. His big eyes were bright and innocent.

    ¡°Is your father CEO Jun?¡± Li Qingxue asked symbolically. After all, the child in front of her looked too simr to Jun Shiling. It was obvious that they were father and son.

    ¡°Yes! Sister, you¡¯re so beautiful.¡± Xiao Bao nodded.

    Li Qingxue was overjoyed by Xiao Bao¡¯s praise. She thought to herself that although the child¡¯s biological parent was not that good, the child she gave birth to still had a sweet mouth.

    ¡°I have a lot of milk candy here. Little friend, if I ask you a few questions and you answer them correctly, I¡¯ll give you the candy, okay?¡± Li Qingxue thought that Jun Shiling¡¯s child should know Jun Shiling the best. A word from this child was more useful than any information.

    ¡°Okay!!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard that there was milk candy.

    ¡°Does your father like spicy food or not?¡±

    ¡°Yes, the super spicy ones!¡±

    ¡°What color does your father like?¡±

    ¡°He likes to see others wear especially many colors! Look at me! My entire body is covered in flowers. My father likes this type the most.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­

    Li Qingxue asked many questions, and Xiao Bao answered them almost without hesitation. Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent expression, Li Qingxue sneered in her heart.

    ¡°Alright, thank you, little friend. This is your reward,¡± Li Qingxue said as she ced a handful of sweets in Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and left.

    After Li Qingxue left, the smile on Xiao Bao¡¯s face disappeared and was reced with anger.

    ¡°Hmph!! She must be a vixen who wants to destroy Daddy and Mommy¡¯s rtionship!¡±

    Xiao Bao, who had learned the word vixen from Bo Xiao, was very good at learning how to use it. He threw the candy in his hand into the trash bin and ran downstairs, wanting to go to the meeting room downstairs to look for Jun Shiling.

    Who would have thought that he would get lost as he walked? He saw many people in arge office, so Xiao Bao went over to see if it was Jun Shiling.

    Xiao Bao ignored the words ¡°finance room¡± that was hung high at the office door. Because everyone was very focused on their work, and Xiao Bao was short, no one could notice him.

    Before anyone realized, Xiao Bao had already slipped into the finance department.

    Xiao Bao turned around and suddenly saw a corner of the photo that was revealed. It looked especially like Xia Yu. Xiao Bao pulled it out and saw that it was indeed Xia Yu.

    Back then, when Xia Wanyuan went to the south to film, Xia Yu had interned in the finance department here. After his conflict with Jin Feng, Xia Yu left. However, he actually left one of his photos in the corner of the office.

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, whose child is this? He¡¯s so insensible. Why did he bring the child here when he¡¯s at work? Get lost.¡± A rough voice sounded, startling Xiao Bao.

    Only then did the people in the office notice that there was a child wearing a bear mask. He was very obedient and cute.

    The female employees who liked to gossip knew that it was CEO Jun¡¯s child the moment they saw this obedient child with wide eyes.

    If it were anyone else, they might have reminded him. However, Jin Feng was treated as a ¡®malignant tumor¡¯ in the office. Two months ago, a handsome young man, Xia Yu, came to the office. He had a good temper and Jin Feng humiliated him and forced him to leave. Everyone disliked Jin Feng and wished for him to be unlucky. Hence, they chose to keep quiet and watch the drama quietly.

    ¡°I¡¯m here to look for Daddy,¡± Xiao Bao said softly.

    ¡°Who¡¯s your father?¡±

    During this period of time, Jin Feng had somehow offended his superiors and was always being made fun of. He was extremely aggrieved and felt that he had been unlucky everywhere since he met Xia Yu. He nced at Xia Yu¡¯s work attire photo and saw it in Xiao Bao¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Hey, so that useless brat Xia Yu is your father?! Get lost. That brat has already been kicked out of thepany.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the brat, you¡¯re the big brat!¡± Seeing Jin Feng scold Xia Yu like this, Xiao Bao could not help but defend his uncle.

    ¡°You little child, if I don¡¯t let you suffer, you won¡¯t know¡­¡± Jin Feng rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Won¡¯t know what?¡± A cold voice sounded at the door.

    Everyone looked over. Jun Shiling was standing at the door, looking cold.

    ¡°CEO Jun¡­¡± Everyone stood up to greet him.

    ¡°CEO Jun?¡± Jin Feng stopped what he was doing and walked towards Jun Shiling fawningly.

    ¡°Daddy! He bullied me!!¡± Xiao Bao grabbed Xia Yu¡¯s photo and ran towards Jun Shiling.

    Although Jun Shiling had a cold expression, when Xiao Bao ran over, he still reached out and picked him up.

    ¡°He even said that Uncle is useless.¡± Xiao Bao secretlyined in Jun Shiling¡¯s ear.

    Jun Shiling nced at Jin Feng, who trembled. At that moment, there were only two words in his heart. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    <i>How could that child be CEO Jun¡¯s son?!!</i>

    Jun Shiling left the finance department with him in his arms. Soon, the staff sent Jin Feng a discharge letter.

    Jin Feng was indignant that thepany had fired him for no reason and wanted to apply forbor arbitration. Lin Jing directly disyed evidence that he had taken advantage of the financial department and epted gifts for no reason. In the end, Jin Feng left dejectedly.

    Xiao Bao liked his uncle very much, but he had not seen Xia Yu in a long time since Xia Yu had joined the military. Just as Jin Feng spoke, Xiao Bao suddenly thought of Xia Yu.

    ¡°Daddy, I miss Uncle. Can you call Uncle?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at the time. It was lunchtime, so he called Xia Yu. Soon, the call was picked up.

    ¡°Uncle!!!! I miss you!!!¡± The other end of the line was so excited that his voice broke, startling the others in themunication room.

    ¡°Good boy, Xiao Bao.¡± Xia Yu smiled. It had been a long time since he had seen this little dumpling. He missed him quite a bit.

    ¡­

    After the call, the others in themunication room could not help butugh. ¡°Xia Yu, your nephew is too cute.¡±

    Xiao Bao knew that it had been tough for Xia Yu to join the army, so he took out thefort posture he had learned from Xia Wanyuan and acted like a little adult.

    ¡°Of course. Don¡¯t you know whose nephew he is?¡± Even though Xia Yu had be much calmer and more capable because of the harsh training, the arrogance in his bones had never subsided.

    ¡°Xia Yu, where are you going? Aren¡¯t you going to rest?¡± Everyone called out in confusion when they saw Xia Yu walking towards the runway again.

    ¡°I¡¯ll run another two rounds.¡±

    ¡°Hey, look at Xia Yu. He was so fair and tender when he first arrived. I thought he was some family¡¯s young master. Now, it seems that he¡¯s the most hardworking one.¡±

    ¡°Impressive, impressive. They¡¯re about to take the assessment. I heard that Xia Yu doesn¡¯t have any problems.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xiao Bao felt that he was especially busy, even busier than Jun Shiling. After consoling his uncle, Xiao Bao called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mommy, did you have a hard time filming? Did you eat well? You have to be careful of the heat¡­¡±

 Chapter 407 - Meeting Melon Farmer Awards Ceremony

    <h4>Chapter 407: Meeting Melon Farmer Awards Ceremony</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan listened to Xiao Bao¡¯s nagging in amusement. Since she had a short break in the afternoon, she apanied him for a while.

    Jun Shiling sat by the side and watched as Xiao Bao pulled further and further away. Time passed second by second. Xia Wanyuan did not have much time to call after filming, so Jun Shiling still wanted to speak to her and give Xiao Bao a warning look.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xiao Bao understood. His father was looking for him for something, so he hung up the phone.

    ¡°Mommy, Daddy wants to talk to me about something. I¡¯ll hang up first. Bye.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling clenched some documents and reminded himself that this was his biological son.

    Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Before it was her turn to film, she was eating watermelon peacefully under the tree.

    Speaking of watermelons, this could be said to be one of her favorite fruits since she came to the modern world.

    She had never eaten such fruits in her previous life. During this period of time, watermelons had been sold inrge numbers. Every day, Tang Yin would bring her a watermelon that was very sweet and cold.

    ¡°The melon today doesn¡¯t seem to be as delicious as yesterday¡¯s.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a piece and tasted it. She felt that it was not as sweet as the previous few days, nor was it crispy. The water seemed to have decreased a lot.

    ¡°I¡¯m puzzled too. The couple who had been selling melons at the entrance of the film studio a few days ago didn¡¯t seem to be here today. Their watermelons are nicer.¡±

    Tang Yin also found it a little strange. Thest time she bought melons, she had even chatted with the couple a little. The couple said that they still had more than ten acres of watermelon at home that they had not sold. It had only been a few days, so why did they note?

    However, Tang Yin and Xia Wanyuan had only casually chatted about this matter. Soon, it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s turn to film, so she did not take this matter to heart.

    When work ended at night, Xia Wanyuan heard from Tang Yin that the young couple had returned. She wanted to buy one and bring it home for Xiao Bao to eat.

    Although the manor also had excellent quality fruits, Xia Wanyuan felt that the watermelon sold by this family had a more juicy taste.

    She followed Tang Yin to find this family¡¯s stall.

    ¡°Boss, please pick a sweet one.¡± Tang Yin went forward to buy it while Xia Wanyuan waited at the side.

    ¡°Okay! I promise to pick the biggest one for you.¡± Tang Yin hade to buy often recently. The boss already knew her, so he helped her pick very carefully.

    Xia Wanyuan watched her boss pick the melon seeds and suddenly asked, ¡°Boss, did you note today because you fell and injured yourself?¡±

    There were bruises on the boss¡¯s face and arms.

    ¡°Huh?¡± The boss was first shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance and bearing, then he reacted to her words. ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s not true.¡±

    Thedy boss seemed to be very helpless as sheined, ¡°We¡¯re going to pack up and return to our hometown in Dongshan tomorrow. Our melons are sold cheaply, so everyone takes care of us. The other vendors are jealous. Last night, on the way home, someone beat my husband up in a sack.¡±

    Thedy boss wiped her tears as she spoke.

    Tang Yin could not help but ask, ¡°Dongshan isn¡¯t close to here. Why aren¡¯t you selling it there?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all for the sake of earning a few more dors. You don¡¯t know how ruthless melon traffickers are when they earn the middle price difference. Here, this is your melon.¡±

    Tang Yin handed over a few notes. ¡°Take them as fuel. It¡¯s not easy toe over.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin left the stall under the repeated thanks of the melon seller couple.

    Halfway through, Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned her head. ¡°Tang Yin, go and ask for their phone number.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In terms of viewership and influence, the drama ¡°The Long Bad¡± could be said to be a very popr drama this year. Hence, in the various ratings for the past six months, it had received many awards. Xia Wanyuan had also received many invitations to award ceremonies, and one of them was even the more famous Silver Crane Award in the industry.

    After Tang Yin and Chen Yun discussed, they decided to let Xia Wanyuan attend the Silver Crane Awards ceremony.

    When the news was released, the fans were excited. This was becausepared to a few years ago when Xia Wanyuan could not wait to appear on camera every day, in recent months, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation had clearly improved, and she had more fans.

    However, she was always in her hidden state, and many fans hoped to see her appear more often.

 Chapter 408 - Madam, You Care About the World

    <h4>Chapter 408: Madam, You Care About the World</h4>

    Jun Shiling had a meeting in the afternoon and was dyed. When Xia Wanyuan returned, he and Xiao Bao had not returned yet.

    Xia Wanyuan kept the watermelon in the fridge for a while, while she called Han Xu. Han Xu was an honest person, and he talked non-stop about his professionalism.

    It was only an hourter that Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone when she saw Jun Shiling and the rest return.

    The nanny served the watermelon and Xiao Bao took a bite.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re the best to me. Daddy didn¡¯t even give me a sip of sugar water.¡± Xiao Bao bit into a melon pulp as heined to Xia Wanyuan about Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Your teeth are bad, so you can only eat this small piece.¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored Xiao Bao¡¯s hint and patted his head with a smile.

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll eat this small piece. I¡¯m the most obedient and listen to Mommy the most.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hands itched as he watched from the side. He did not know who had just thrown a tantrum in the office and acted cute for a milk candy, but he was as obedient as anything now.

    From the moment he entered, Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s somewhat bitter gaze. After thinking about it, she seemed to have not called Jun Shiling at all today. ording to his usual habits, he probably felt unhappy.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of watermelon and brought it to Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth. ¡°Try it. Is this watermelon delicious?¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and took a bite. A smile finally appeared on his face. ¡°Not bad. It should be from Dongshan.¡±

    ¡°You can even tell this? Impressive.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. That couple did say that they were from Dongshan.

    Sensing the admiration in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up even more.

    Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up and waved at the servant. ¡°Bring him to take a shower. He¡¯s been jumping around for the entire day.¡±

    Xiao Bao looked reluctantly at the half-eaten watermelon on the table. After protesting to no avail, he obediently took a shower.

    After Xiao Bao was carried away, the other servants tactfully left the hall.

    ¡°I¡¯ll throw this brat to kindergarten tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and sat on the sofa, kissing her on the cheek.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°Xiao Bao was just shocked. What¡¯s wrong with apanying him for a few days?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to apany him. I want to apany you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say that he was your biological son.?<i>Is there anyone like you?</i>

    After adjusting herself into afortable position in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°I have something to ask you.¡±

    Jun Shiling was delighted to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯szy expression. He lowered his head and kissed her. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°If I want to build a raw material production area and the passage transported out of this raw material production area is very inconvenient, what should I do?¡±

    ¡°If there¡¯s a mountain, build a road. If there¡¯s water, build a bridge. This isn¡¯t difficult.¡±

    ¡°Then does it require a veryplicated procedure?¡±

    In her previous life in the Xia Dynasty, all the official roads and repairs were in the hands of the Imperial Court. It was basically impossible for private repairs to be done.

    Although the modern world had let go of some power, these important projects were still controlled very tightly.

    ¡°Throw the brat to Grandpa¡¯s house this week. The procedures are simple.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze.

    ¡°I¡¯m serious.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, her earlobes red.

    ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Seeing that he had teased her too much, Jun Shiling hurriedly pacified her. ¡°Tell me what you want to do, and I¡¯ll help you go through the procedures.¡±

    Hence, Xia Wanyuany back down and chatted with Jun Shiling about the couple and the Bai Xiang Company.

    Han Xu¡¯s legacy secret recipe was not only on plum wine. Their Han family had been good at using all kinds of fruits to make wine since a long time ago, and Han Xu had many other recipes.

    Coincidentally, she bumped into that couple today, so Xia Wanyuan had some thoughts.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, seeing that Jun Shiling was silent, she turned to ask him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I keep feeling¡­¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with his deep eyes and paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Madam, you care about the world.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was filled with seriousness. From the donation of the ie from Yuan Wanxia¡¯s paintings to forests in the west, to buying watermelons to repair the roads and help the poor.

    Many a time, Jun Shiling could see the breadth of extraordinary women in Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. At a certain moment, she seemed to have seen Jun Shiling¡¯s understanding gaze. However, very quickly, she only saw a deep look in his phoenix eyes that hid all his emotions.

    ¡°No way. I just want to earn more money. After all, I still owe CEO Jun 50 million dors.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. Perhaps because she had been used to governing in her previous life, she sometimes thought that since she had the ability, there was no harm in helping these people.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied softly and did not probe further. However, Xia Wanyuan did not know if he believed her words.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was looking down and thinking about something, Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to pull his hand, subconsciously wanting to ease the silent atmosphere between the two of them.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the award ceremony in two days. Can you help me choose my gown?¡±

 Chapter 409 - Master Jun Chooses the Gown

    <h4>Chapter 409: Master Jun ¡®Chooses¡¯ the Gown</h4>

    There were more than ten sets of dresses in the cloakroom. Mu Feng had first looked at them and filtered them before asking someone to send them over.

    ¡°Does it look good?¡± Xia Wanyuan changed into a white tube top gown.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    ¡°What about this?¡± It was a ck one-shoulder fishtail dress.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°That one?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nice too.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­.

    ¡°I asked you to choose, not to say it looks good.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt helpless.

    ¡°You look good in anything.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes burned. What he said was the truth.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, had an aura that looked down on the world from the inside out, making one¡¯s heart throb.

    ¡°This dress seems to be stuck.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked behind her. The zipper could not be pulled up halfway.

    Xia Wanyuan tried it herself but did not pull. A pair of warm hands covered her. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s focused gaze.

    ¡°This one doesn¡¯t look good. Change it,¡± Jun Shiling said as he loosened the zipper of the blue gown, revealing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fair back.

    The gown was removed, leaving Xia Wanyuan a little helpless. Her entire body was covered in ayer of light pink color. Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze deepened as he took a ck fishtail dress from the side.

    He slowly put it on for Xia Wanyuan and squatted on the ground to put on her high heels.

    Looking at Jun Shiling, who was seriously putting on his shoes for her, Xia Wanyuan was a little nervous. She could not help but call out, ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here.¡± After tying the shoces of his high heels, Jun Shiling stood up and looked up and down as if he was checking his results.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face burned.

    Caught off guard, Jun Shiling picked her up and ced her on the sofa.

    ¡°What were you thinking? You want me to choose a gown for you? Do you think I¡¯m too firm towards you? Are you torturing me every day?¡± Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and guided her to feel how hard he had endured it.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red.

    The atmosphere was too awkward just now. Xia Wanyuan only subconsciously wanted to ease the silence. Thinking of the award ceremony, she directly said it and did not think of other problems.

    ¡°We¡¯re going to have dinner soon,¡± Xia Wanyuan reminded Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuany under him. It was too impactful, but Jun Shiling didn¡¯t dare to move.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± Jun Shiling was about to get up when he was kissed on the cheek. He turned around in surprise and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright eyes.

    Jun Shiling could not help it anymore. He lowered his head and fiercely snatched the sweetness that belonged to Xia Wanyuan.

    After Xiao Bao showered, he could not help but secretly eat five pork ribs before Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan downstairs.

    ¡°Mommy, where did you guys go? Why are you here sote?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not answer Xiao Bao¡¯s question. She only silently pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s waist.

    Sensing the strength at his waist, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°I was helping your mother choose a gown just now.¡±

    Speaking of dresses, Xia Wanyuan recalled the ruined ck fishtail dress. She could not help but turn around and re at Jun Shiling angrily. Jun Shiling smiled like a tiger who had eaten his fill.

    Professor Zhang had been paying attention to the school¡¯s matters. Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, he went to ask,

    ¡°Yuan Wanxia¡¯s application? We didn¡¯t receive his application. Hurry up and submit the application and materials. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be easy for us to enter the approval process.¡±

 Chapter 410 - Firing Li Qingxue

    <h4>Chapter 410: Firing Li Qingxue</h4>

    When Professor Zhang heard the academy¡¯s words, he went to look for Xia Wanyuan. However, Xia Wanyuan said that she had filled in the form on the first day she received it and sent it over. Xia Wanyuan even took a screenshot.

    When Professor Zhang saw that there was nothing wrong with this, he ran to the school to ask again.

    The teacher in charge of recruiting thought for a long time. ¡°Teacher Zhang, I really didn¡¯t receive any. Other than a prank form that I ced in the trash, I didn¡¯t receive anything else.¡±

    ¡°Prank form? Trash box?¡± Professor Zhang had a strong feeling that this was definitely the one that Xia Wanyuan had posted. ¡°It¡¯s that. That¡¯s not a prank.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Are you sure?¡± The recruited teacher dragged the email out of the trash. The teacher, who was almost sixty years old, did not know the name Xia Wanyuan, but the age tab on the form clearly said 22.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure. Just submit this. I¡¯ll exin to the leader if there are any problems.¡±

    Professor Zhang had a high status in school. Seeing that Professor Zhang had guaranteed her admission, the recruiting teacher did not hesitate anymore. He printed the form and sent it to the leader¡¯s office with the other materials.

    Before Professor Zhang could exin to the leader, the school leader called.

    At first, they thought that the teacher from the admissions office had sent the wrong document. However, the teacher said that Professor Zhang had guaranteed it. Because of Professor Zhang¡¯s prestige, the school did not throw away the application immediately. Instead, they called to confirm.

    ¡°Leader, I guarantee that the information on this application form is 100% correct. When the timees, I¡¯ll get her toe and verify it.

    Professor Zhang swore on it, but the school leaders were actually unwilling to believe such a fantasy.?<i>A 22-year-old girl was a respected master painter?!!!</i>

    However, Professor Zhang was a leading expert in the relevant departments in the country and a heavyweight schr. The leaders had to believe what he said.

    In the end, the school made apromise. ¡°Then let here to school next week. This matter is too unbelievable. We have to convince everyone.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Seeing everyone so surprised, Professor Zhang felt a strange sense of bnce. It seemed that his ability to ept things back then was quite strong.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Why did you terminate my contract? Did I do something wrong?¡± Li Qingxue had just obtained a lot of information from that child. She had specially worn a floral dress today.

    She was very good-looking herself, but she managed to prop up this extremely gaudy dress. As she moved, she had a moving charm.

    The HR manager could not bear to see the beauty panic, but he did not know what had gone wrong. Suddenly, there was news from above that Li Qingxue was going to be dismissed.

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that either. Actually, Qingxue, you¡¯re quite capable at work and you get along well with your colleagues. Logically speaking, they shouldn¡¯t have dismissed you. Did you offend someone?¡±

    Hearing the HR manager¡¯s words, Li Qingxue suddenly thought of Xia Wanyuan.?<i>It must be her!</i>

    <i>Thest time she saw me, it must be because she didn¡¯t want to see me by Jun Shiling¡¯s side, so she found a way to terminate my job.</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m going to ask CEO Jun about it.¡± After saying that, Li Qingxue wanted to go to Jun Shiling¡¯s office.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± The HR manager reached out to stop her but did not manage to do so. This CEO Jun¡¯s office could not be intruded casually. It would cause trouble. Thinking of Li Qingxue¡¯s beautiful eyes, the HR manager steeled his heart. He still followed her and wanted to persuade her toe back.

    Before Li Qingxue could wait for the elevator, Lin Jing had already brought people over. The assistant behind him was holding Li Qingxue¡¯s personal items.

    ¡°Miss Li, this ce isn¡¯t suitable for you. If you insist on barging into CEO Jun¡¯s office, please make a trip to the police station.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Li Qingxue knew that Lin Jing was Jun Shiling¡¯s ¡°messenger¡±.?<i>With Lin Jing¡¯s attitude, did it mean that Jun Shiling really did not want to talk to me?</i>

    ¡°Please.¡± Lin Jing still had a standard smile, but it carried an unquestionable dignity.

    Li Qingxue nced at the CEO¡¯s private elevator and finally took her things and left the Jun Corporation.

    Before Lin Jing left, he looked at the HR manager meaningfully. The HR manager felt uneasy. As expected, in the afternoon, he received the notice of thepany¡¯s termination.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The drama ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was still filming intensely. Xia Wanyuan filmed for a long time climbing in the snow and trudging through the swamp exhaustingly. Taking advantage of the break, she went to the melon stall outside with Tang Yin to buy watermelon.

    ¡°Ya, it¡¯s you guys. You still want a watermelon today, right? This is for you. It¡¯s free.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yine over, thedy boss directly carried arge and fresh melon from the trailer.

    ¡°How can we do that? It¡¯s so hard for you to sell things. We can¡¯t take it for nothing.¡± As Tang Yin spoke, she wanted to take the money.

    ¡°Miss, you¡¯ve bought so many things from us already. You always give us more money. The two of us will be rushing back to Dongshan tonight. We don¡¯t have anything good for you. Take this as a thank you gift. Don¡¯t mind it.¡±

    These two extremely beautiful youngdies were the most kind and beautiful people she had seen in a long time since she came to Beijing to sell melons. Not only did they take care of their business, but they would also chat with them when they were free. They did not mind that they were from the countryside in the mountains.

    ¡°You¡¯re going back?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Most of the melons have been sold. There¡¯s still a pile of things waiting at home. We¡¯lle again next year. When the timees, I¡¯ll definitely leave the sweetest melons for you.¡±

    ¡°Auntie, I have a friend who wants to go to your ce to y. Can you bring him along?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked.

    ¡°Okay, okay, of course.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan speak, thedy boss subconsciously became much more respectful. Clearly, this youngdy took very good care of them, but when facing Xia Wanyuan, they always felt a sense of reverence.

    The setting sun gradually sank, scattering the warm red light on the ground and steaming thest traces of heat. The four of them sat quietly and ate the melon.

    The couple, who had originally only wanted to earn a few hundred more dors, so they traveled all the way to Beijing, did not expect that they had earned such a bright path for the poor and istednd behind them.

    Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t go home on time tonight because there was a night scene.

    This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had eaten dinner in the production team since the production team of ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    Because of the capital injection by the Jun Corporation, the food provided by the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was still not bad. The packed food was also more abundant. Xia Wanyuan sat at the side and slowly ate. Yan Ci also sat over with the lunch box.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. There were so many fighting and climbing scenes today.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan only cared about eating and ignored him, Yan Ci found a topic.

 Chapter 411 - I Miss You ~

    <h4>Chapter 411: I Miss You ~</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you too. You have a lot of fighting scenes too.¡± Director Li Heng was a more serious person. He requested to not use a substitute as much as possible, so Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci did it themselves.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Yan Ci poked at the rice in his bowl. He had never taken the initiative to talk to a girl and actually did not know how to continue the topic. ¡°Other than filming, what else do you usually do?¡±

    ¡°Reading, writing, painting, watching television,¡± Xia Wanyuan swallowed thest mouthful of rice and replied.

    ¡°What an elegant life,¡± Yan Ci praised. His grip on the bowl tightened slightly and he probed, ¡°There¡¯s an art exhibition in Beijing this weekend. My friend gave me two tickets. We don¡¯t have scenes that day. Do you want to take a look?¡±

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have much feelings for romantic rtionships. Even if others treated her very well, she wouldn¡¯t think in that direction. However, ever since she experienced Jun Shiling¡¯s feelings for her, she knew very clearly about the intense gaze between a man and a woman.

    Seeing the anticipation and light in Yan Ci¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan put down the bowl. ¡°No need, thank you. After the drama is broadcasted, we will be formed into a pair on screen. In order not to let everyone misunderstand, we should maintain a distance in reality.¡±

    Yan Ci understood the meaning in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and his eyes shed. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Then, he took the bowl and left. His back view looked very lonely.

    The second female lead, Li Xiaofu, saw this scene not far away. She was extremely jealous of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was the main character in the drama. The male lead had caught a glimpse of her and doted on her from the bottom of his heart. The role she yed had been childhood sweethearts with the male lead since she was young. Although she had followed him for many years, she could notpare to a love at first sight.

    They were both women, but Xia Wanyuan could be the female lead. Furthermore, Yan Ci had even leaned over to talk to her. And when she had knocked on Yan Ci¡¯s doorst night in her sexy pajamas, he had ignored her.

    In the scenes today, the role she acted in was to be pped in public. In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura was too strong, causing her to always make mistakes. After many times, she could not get through this scene and was scolded by Li Heng for a long time.

    At the thought of this, she felt angry.

    ¡°Ancestor, let¡¯s not provoke that Xia Wanyuan. I think she¡¯s not an easy person. I heard that Xiafeng Corporation is under her name.¡± The manager saw his artist¡¯s expression and knew that this great aunt was unhappy because of what had happened in the day.

    ¡°Pfft, it¡¯s just a smallpany. What¡¯s there to be smug about? Only her inexperienced fans think that she¡¯s amazing. Which part of Beijing isn¡¯t a bigpany or a rich family?¡±

    Li Xiaofu often attended all sorts of noble gatherings with her sisters, so she naturally did not take the Xiafeng Group seriously.

    ¡°Can we just focus on filming?¡± The manager rolled his eyes in his heart.?<i>What has the power of a rich family got to do with you? No matter how poor the Xiafeng Group is, it belongs to Xia Wanyuan herself.</i>

    ¡°Aiya, I know, I know.¡± Li Xiaofu waved her hand impatiently.?<i>This manager was really annoying. I would rece him sooner orter.</i>

    The night scenes were filmed until nearly eleven o¡¯clock before they ended work. Most of the production teams in the film studioplex had already switched off the lights. Xia Wanyuan walked out of the production team and indeed saw the familiar Phantom by the roadside.

    The car lights were switched on, bringing with them a warm light. It was as if no matter if it were raining or pouring, early in the morning orte at night, this light would always be waiting for her. A surge of warmth surged in her heart, and Xia Wanyuan quickly walked over.

    The chauffeur pulled open the car door and Xia Wanyuan sat in. Jun Shiling had not even capped his pen when a figure pounced into his arms.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, then instructed the chauffeur, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan seemed even more clingy today. She kept hugging Jun Shiling and did not speak.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you so clingy today?¡± Jun Shiling wanted to get Xia Wanyuan a ss of milk, but Xia Wanyuan hugged him and prevented him from moving.

    ¡°I missed you.¡± A muffled voice came from his arms, making Jun Shiling pause.

 Chapter 412 - Youve Always Been So Delicate

    <h4>Chapter 412: You¡¯ve Always Been So Delicate</h4>

    Retracting his hand that was reaching for the preservation box, Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan, who was hugging him.

    He reached out and picked her up by the waist and ced her on hisp.

    ¡°How much did you miss me?¡± Jun Shiling leaned forward and kissed Xia Wanyuan, his eyes burning.

    ¡°That much.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up and gestured at a distance the size of a fingernail.

    ¡°It¡¯s so little, not even a hundredth of how much I missed you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s chucklended in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    ¡°What sweet words.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were red.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never flirted with anyone before.¡± Jun Shiling tightened his grip. ¡°Are you tired today?¡±

    ¡°A little. I¡¯ve filmed the scene of climbing the snow mountain and grass today. My hand is bruised. Look,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a small piece of red skin.

    The production team did not use stunt bundles, and they had to jump the two-meter-tall tform when cued. Even though she had repeatedly filmed the same difficult scene for three consecutive hours, Xia Wanyuan, who had neverined, suddenly felt aggrieved in front of Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Let me apply some medicine for you. Be careful when you film in the future.¡±

    One of the main reasons why Xia Wanyuan was willing to show her vulnerability in front of Jun Shiling was that Jun Shiling would feel very sorry for such a small injury. It was as if any small matter on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body had a lot of weight in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Everything would have a response, and every single item was valued.

    Jun Shiling carefully applied some alcohol to the wound, then applied some cool ointment. He hugged her and kissed her forehead, patting her back as if he was coaxing a child.

    ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±

    Sensing the love overflowing from Jun Shiling¡¯s heart, Xia Wanyuan snuggled in his arms.

    Thest time she was hugged and coaxed like a child after she was injured was when her parents were still around.

    To be able to grow into the most dazzling pearl in the Great Xia Dynasty, the little princess Xia Wanyuan had grown up under the pampering of her parents.

    When she was young, she was once a child who cried when she was injured. She was also the little daughter who was afraid of the dark and ghosts and threw herself into her parents¡¯ arms coquettishly.

    However, after the country was destroyed and her family was destroyed, in the chaotic world, she was the support of her younger siblings, themander of the three armies, and the person who carried the weight of the country.

    No matter how difficult it was or how badly injured she was, she would endure it alone and not show it to others.

    Now that she was a little bruised, she felt very aggrieved. Xia Wanyuanughed. She had be even more delicate.

    ¡°What are youughing at?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯mughing at how I¡¯m getting more and more delicate.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm, you¡¯re quite delicate.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I raised you, so I can take it. You can be delicate however you want.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan habitually wanted to say Jun Shiling was spouting sweet words, but on second thought, every word that Jun Shiling said hadnded on the ground, and he had also fulfilled every promise he had made.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything and only hugged Jun Shiling back. ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the best.¡±

    What responded to Xia Wanyuan was an extremely gentle kiss.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At three in the afternoon, Mu Feng, who had been woken up by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s call and had been busy with a sulky face for a long time, got out of bed.

    They had finallypleted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s styling and makeup design.

    Seeing that every bit of Xia Wanyuan had perfectly disyed the effect he had imagined, a smile finally appeared on Mu Feng¡¯s face.

    ¡°Perfect! I didn¡¯t get up so early for nothing.¡±

    ¡°So early?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the time. It was half-past five in the afternoon.

    Mu Feng looked at Xia Wanyuan as if she was an old antique. ¡°Young people nowadays, it¡¯s midnight and life has just begun. No wonder you and Jun Shiling are a pair. The two of you are an old antique.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­..

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she could not refute Mu Feng¡¯s im that she was an old antique.

    By the time they brought Xia Wanyuan out of the dressing room, Chen Yun and Tang Yin were stunned.

    ¡°This? Does it not match the elegant goddess route that thepany wants to build?¡± The real antique straight man, Chen Yun, sent out a soul interrogation.

    ¡°No, I think this style is very beautiful. It will definitely be the focus of tonight. Our Wanyuan¡¯s image is not fixed to begin with. Only a diverse impact can shock people.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never had any objections to her style. She felt that professional things had to be handed over to professionals, and Mu Feng was quite professional.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Seeing that it was about time, Mu Feng continued to go home to catch up on sleep, while Chen Yun and Tang Yin brought Xia Wanyuan to the award ceremony.

 Chapter 413 - The Eve of the Red Carpet

    <h4>Chapter 413: The Eve of the Red Carpet</h4>

    The summer night was hot, and the stars in the sky were not as bright as the shing lights at the venue.

    Outside the venue, all sorts of colorful support lights lit up. Fans from various clubs waited for their idols to appear. The cameras of the media reporters snapped non-stop.

    Celebrities¡¯ cars kept driving over, and handsome men and beautiful women with exquisite makeup walked down one after another.

    [ Yan Ci! Mommy is here! ]

    [ When will Bo Yi appear?? I¡¯ve been waiting for so long. ]

    [ Hehe, I¡¯m so looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red carpet show today. I hope the fairy kills me with her beauty. ]

    The red carpet had always been a ce where female celebritiespeted for attention. The award ceremony today was still very important, and many A-list big shots hade.

    ¡°Wow, is that Bai Lian? She¡¯s so beautiful today.¡±

    The media and fans suddenly became restless. A figure in a white flower fairy dress suddenly appeared.

    Bai Lian always went with a pure and clean style. Today, she had suddenly changed clothes, which made her look very stunning. Her makeup had also changed to a different type than before.

    However, everyone felt that her style looked a little familiar.

    [ She¡¯s a little beautiful, but her makeup style is too simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous award ceremony for the watermelon video. ]

    [ The person in front, I specially went to search. Even the shape of her hair is the same. ]

    [ Are you crazy? It¡¯s just a style. Did Xia Wanyuan apply for a patent? Or is she afraid of beingpared to Bai Lian and doesn¡¯t dare to let others use a simr style? ]

    Not only did Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans think that Bai Lian¡¯s fans were funny, but even the fans of the other celebrities felt that it was funny. After all, Xia Wanyuan was indeed good-looking. Even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anti-fans could not find any ws in her appearance.

    However, everyone wanted to watch themotion. After all, Xia Wanyuan had always been elegant. She was probably going topete with Bai Lian tonight.

    The fans were in high spirits on thements when two business cars drove over. A couple walked down from the car in front.

    [ Wow, Liu Xingchuan and Shi Tian are actually here tonight too. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen the two of them. ]

    [ Liu Xingchuan is still so handsome, even more mature than before. ]

    While everyone was still discussing the two of them, a handsome figure walked out of the MPV behind.

    Fu Li!!

    At this moment, the fans and media reporters were even more excited. Everyone had guessed the truth behind the breakup of the three of them for so many years but had not guessed it. Fu Li had settled abroad in recent years and rarely appeared.

    They did not expect to be able to see these three people together today. Everyone could already smell the thick scent of Asura Arena.

    Fu Li was walking not far from the couple. The reporters¡¯ cameras were as bright as day as they ced the three of them in the same camera.

    Shi Tian walked a little slower in her high heels, and Liu Xingchuan slowed down with her.

    Fu Li looked straight ahead and strode forward. He caught up to Liu Xingchuan andpany halfway on the red carpet. Then, he passed the couple without blinking and walked straight forward.

    !!!

    shing lights shed non-stop.?<i>Oh my god, how much hatred did Fu Li have for Liu Xingchuan? It had been so many years, but he still threw his face by walking on the red carpet.</i>

    Time gradually passed. It was almost time for the opening ceremony. Because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity had been pretty good recently, although a portion of the media had already been withdrawn, there was still a portion waiting for Xia Wanyuan.

    Finally, a ck car slowly appeared in front of everyone.

 Chapter 414 - Princess Received an Award Cute Talk

    <h4>Chapter 414: Princess Received an Award Cute Talk</h4>

    The cameras of the media were all ready.

    The car door was pulled open, and the sound of the shutter sounded. However, the first person to get out was Tang Yin, who was wearing a ck suit. Tang Yin pulled the car door open.

    A red figure walked out of the car and stood in front of the red carpet.

    Mu Feng had abandoned the styles he had designed for Xia Wanyuan in the past. Based on the previous drama photo of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± that had surfaced to the public and the character traits of her uing drama role, he had designed such a simple and cold image.

    A red dress that outlined her waistline made her look slender. The hemline of the dress fell naturally to her ankles in an irregr manner. It was notpletely wrapped around her body. The right hem of the dress had already parted at her thighs. As she walked, her fair calves were faintly visible through the red dress.

    Mu Feng had curled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and her makeup was clean. Only the color of her red lips and the gown on her bodyplemented each other.

    Xia Wanyuan had a unique high and mighty aura. Red was an extremely difficult color to control, and Xia Wanyuan had worn this red dress as a nirvana me.

    The fans at the scene were excited, and the photographer¡¯s hand was about to ache. Xia Wanyuan stepped onto the red carpet. At that moment, there was no one else on the carpet. Everyone¡¯s gazes followed Xia Wanyuan.

    A fiery figure walked past the red stall and arrived at the signing area. The host handed a pen to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and signed her name on arge screen. The host saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s handwriting and was secretly amazed. This was the most beautiful celebrity he had seen with such a nice signature after being a host for so long.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status in the entertainment industry was still very low, so the seats in the venue were naturally located in the corner. When she entered, the lights in the venue had already been switched off. Xia Wanyuan found her seat and sat down, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

    Every time an award ceremony was held, it would cause an extremely high poprity on the Inte. All sorts of trending searches would emerge. At this moment, the person who upied the first ce on the trending list was naturally ¡°Fu Li, Liu Xingchuan¡±, who everyone was most interested in.

    Some people were also quietly squatting on the red carpet. Every red carpet could be said to be apetition between female celebrities.

    The official Weibo ount had already released many photos. Thergest picture station on Weibo, the Wind of the Gxy, naturally sent people to take photos.

    The photo station was rather sensitive. The kind of photos that could arouse everyone¡¯s liking was too clear. Hence, after the stand sisters took the photos at the scene, they immediately sent Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photos back.

    The photographer was filled with confidence and smugly prepared to do something big. Then, he realized that,?<i>heh heh, I think Xia Wanyuan wants us to lose our jobs.</i>

    The Wind of the Gxy did not even fix the picture and sent out the original picture.

    Furthermore, he even specially prepared ament. ¡°Pure original picture (clenched fists), the editor is officially unemployed!¡±

    The fans who had been squatting for a long time swarmed up. When they saw the picture, they screamed.

    The photographer had found a good angle. On both sides were constantly shing lights and cameras. In the dark night, Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a fiery red dress, stepped on the light. Her makeup was clearly very in, but it made one feel endless charm, but it was not gaudy at all.

    She raised her chin and looked at the camera. Her eyes were cold and beautiful.

    [ The fairy today killed me with her beauty too! ]

    [ Oh my god, isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan too malleable? She¡¯s elegant, pure, and knowledgeable, but she can be both valiant and enchanting. Alright, I dere that I love this sister. ]

    [ How did she get this face? Boohoo, I¡¯m so envious. She¡¯s too beautiful. ]

    Ny-nine percent of those who surfed the Inte had an obsession with appearances. Hence, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo sessfully appeared in the entertainment industry.

    Many people used her photo as wallpaper, and many people ran to Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo to ask the master to draw an illustration with this as inspiration.

    Unfortunately, the master they missed dearly was sitting in her seat and quietly watching the award.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t feel that she could win the award, so she watched without any pressure. No matter when the cameranded on her, she always had a very calm expression.

    It was probably a very emotional thing to be recognized by the audience and industry. Xia Wanyuan saw many actors cry when they went on stage to give their eptance speech.

    Xia Wanyuan was also somewhat infected. It was indeed a very happy thing to mold a role well and leave them in people¡¯s hearts, giving a beautiful dream for everyone.

    Her phone suddenly vibrated. Xia Wanyuan took it out to take a look.

    ¡°You look beautiful tonight. I¡¯ll pick you upter.¡±

    A woman dressed up for her lover. Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s praise, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡°Okay (words) (kitten)¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had recently learned to use emoticons and words in the production team chat. When she chatted with Jun Shiling, she would unconsciously use all sorts of emoticons.

    Seeing the cat nodding emoticon sent by Xia Wanyuan, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    <i>Whose wife was she? Why was she so cute?</i>

    The management at the meeting table looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s obviously radiant expression.?<i>Haha, what a mouthful of dog food!</i>

    ¡°Next, let us reveal who won the Silver Crane Best Supporting Actress Award: Xia Wanyuan! Congrattions, Xia Wanyuan!¡±

 Chapter 415 - The Princess Made a Speech

    <h4>Chapter 415: The Princess Made a Speech</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had been sending messages to Jun Shiling with her head lowered when she suddenly heard her name and looked up in surprise.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a red dress, was disyed on therge screen. Even the celebrities, who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, were stunned when they saw Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting quietly like a phoenix standing on a mountain.

    <i>When did the entertainment industry have a newbie with such a unique temperament?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surprise onlysted for a moment. She stood up calmly and walked towards the stage.

    At that moment, the big screen began to y Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance in ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    The naive and innocent little princess, the shy and cute little girl, the dancer with a deep-seated hatred, the silent imperial concubine, all of these scenes seemed to have brought her into that martial arts world.

    The older celebrities, who were originally puzzled as to how this newbie could win an award, looked at Xia Wanyuan with more certainty after watching the promotional video.

    <i>She was indeed very capable.</i>

    ¡°Wow, the entertainment industry this year is really filled with talents.¡± The host shook hands with Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Congrattions on winning the award. Please give your eptance speech.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. Her bright eyes were enticing, causing the host to be stunned.

    ¡°I¡¯m very surprised and very happy to be able to receive this award. Thank you for everyone¡¯s love and affirmation.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood in front of the microphone and said two sentences graciously before retreating to the side.

    ¡°¡­¡± The host was usually a little stunned.?<i>The people who received the award had to thank a bunch of people first before describing their hard work and finally sublimating to express their attitude. Isn¡¯t this Xia Wanyuan too simple?</i>

    On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, the host still wanted to help her smooth things over. ¡°To be able to win this award, I believe Miss Xia must have gone through a lot of hard work. Miss Xia, can you share with everyone what you¡¯ve experienced on your way here?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯ve always been doing quite well. I don¡¯t feel that it¡¯s hard at all.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direct words immediately caused everyone tough.

    The people in thements were also amused by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    [ I¡¯m dying ofughter. Hahaha, Host: I shouldn¡¯t have acted on my own ord. ]

    [ You¡¯re too honest. It¡¯s not hard for me. I¡¯m doing very smoothly. Hahahaha. ]

    [ I like people who don¡¯t deliberately act pitiful. Hahahaha! ]

    The host smiled awkwardly. ¡°Then Miss Xia, you¡¯re quite lucky. Congrattions again for winning this award, Miss Xia. Please return to the waiting area.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan faced the envious and jealous gazes from everyone as she calmly returned to her seat.

    After the award ceremony ended, it was time for everyone to disperse. Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outstanding appearance and the award-winning words, many people had an impression of her.

    When the crowd dispersed, some people even took the initiative to approach her and talk to her. Xia Wanyuan could clearly see who was taking the initiative to make friends and who had ulterior motives. After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I think your appearance and temperament are especially good. You¡¯re very suitable for my next female lead. I wonder if you¡¯re interested in knowing more about her?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to leave when a bald middle-aged man stopped her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. It seemed to be a director who had just won an award. However, from his expression, Xia Wanyuan did not think that this person hade to get her to act.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the famous Director Huang?¡± An extremely enchanting voice sounded as an extremely attractive woman in a ck fishtail dress walked over.

    Xia Wanyuan had some impression of her. She was very famous and was said to be a very controversial first-rate female celebrity¡ªAn Rao.

    An Rao sized up Xia Wanyuan, her eyes revealing obvious disdain. ¡°Director Huang, how can you fancy someone like this? She doesn¡¯t have a face or a figure. Why don¡¯t you consider me?¡±

    There was a reason why An Rao was called the ¡°Medusa¡± in the entertainment industry. Just like now, she was just quietly looking at people and talking. Her eyes and tone seemed to have hooks in them, causing Director Huang to be infatuated.

    ¡°It¡¯s great that Beauty An is willing to give me face. It¡¯s my honor!!¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± An Rao nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, ced a name card in An Rao¡¯s hand, and left the venue.

    ¡°Pfft, what B-list celebrity wants to use my fame?! How dare she hand me a name card! Does she treat me as a trash bin? Is there something wrong with her?¡± An Rao was stunned for a moment before she reacted and shouted at Director Huang in surprise.

    ¡°I still have a reporter interview. It¡¯s so annoying. If this person bes popr, it¡¯s troublesome. Why are there so many people waiting to interview me every day?¡± An Rao flipped her long hair, emitting a fragrance that almost made Director Huang¡¯s soul fall.

    However, An Rao did not care about Director Huang¡¯s anxious expression. She walked out of the stadium in her high heels.

    As for the name card that she despised as trash, she held it in her hand and did not throw it away.

    <h4>Chapter 416: CEO Jun Was Scolded as an Old Antique for Giving Gifts</h4>

    ¡°Little ancestor, why did you onlye out now? You didn¡¯t cause trouble, did you?¡± Finally, An Rao arrived and the manager heaved a sigh of relief.

    An Rao was beautiful and she did not listen to orders at all. She did things wantonly and caused countless scandals and troubles every day. The manager was afraid that she would be trending again because she ¡°seduced¡± some Best Actor or director.

    ¡°What trouble? Xiao Li, let me tell you. If you talk about your artist like this again, your bonus for next month won¡¯t be guaranteed.¡± An Rao flipped her long hair and her eyes darted around. She looked like a vixen who wanted to go to the roadside to seduce schrs.

    ¡°What are you holding?¡± Seeing An Rao looking at the name card, the manager asked curiously. Normally, the name card that was stuffed into An Rao¡¯s hand was sent by people with ill intentions, so An Rao would stuff it into the trash can soon after.

    ¡°A pretty woman gave me a name card. Do you think she has a crush on me?¡± An Rao gently tapped the number on the name card. This was the first time a female celebrity from the entertainment industry had handed her a name card.

    As for the other female celebrities, they could not wait to stab her with a knife. They would retreat when they saw her. She had never seen someone like Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Haha¡­¡± The manager thought to himself,?<i>You¡¯re a public enemy of the women in the entertainment industry. Who would want to have a crush on you?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The familiar Phantom stopped quietly by the roadside. Xia Wanyuan had just sat in when Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms, scaring the chauffeur so much that he hurriedly closed the car door.

    ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful today.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter, his eyes burning.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had red lips and snow-white skin, had a charm that he had never seen before.

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t I pretty yesterday?¡± Xia Wanyuanughed.

    ¡°You¡¯re beautiful any day.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan on the lips.

    He suddenly thought of something and his voice sank. ¡°I¡¯m thest person to see you like this.¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly regretted asking Mu Feng to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stylist. Thinking that Mu Feng was the first person to see Xia Wanyuan like this, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan heard Jun Shiling¡¯s tone, she knew what he was thinking.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. ¡°You have this. Is that enough?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on her waist tightened. ¡°Close your eyes.¡±

    When she met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heated up. She blinked her fan-like eyshes and closed her eyes.

    The kiss she had expected did note, but her face was a little furry.

    ¡°Madam, what are you looking forward to?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice came from above. Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was teasing her again.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and met a pair of ss eyes that were as pure and clear as sapphire.

    ¡°Meow.¡± A snow-white ragdoll was being hugged by Jun Shiling. He rubbed his snow-white ears against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°This is?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms in surprise. The kitten seemed to be very close to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan reached out and the kitten jumped into her arms.

    ¡°I saw the emoticon you sent me. I guessed you would like it, so I bought it.¡±

    Other than contacting Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling, who had never used any social app, clearly did not know what emoticons meant.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan stroked the kitten¡¯s soft fur helplessly and recalled what Mu Feng had said about her being an old antique. ¡°Jun Shiling, you old antique.¡±

    Jun Shiling:?????<i>It seems like I have to reduce Lin Jing¡¯s bonus tomorrow. Didn¡¯t he say that this cat would definitely make Xia Wanyuan happy? Why am I being despised instead?</i>

    ¡°However, I like it very much. Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°Do you only like the cat?¡± Jun Shiling looked at thefortable cat lying in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and felt sour.

    ¡°I like you too.¡±

 Chapter 417 - The Princess Handwriting Caused Suspicion

    <h4>Chapter 417: The Princess¡¯ Handwriting Caused Suspicion</h4>

    At that moment, the smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s lips could not be suppressed anymore. He hugged the cat and person into his arms.

    After a while, Jun Shiling stopped at the edge of losing control with great restraint. He panted heavily in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Every day, you don¡¯t let me eat meat and even flirt with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were red. She pushed Jun Shiling with her hand. ¡°Move, you¡¯re pressing on the cat.¡±

    The kitten, who was sandwiched between the two of them, looked at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Meow¡±?<i>Did you only think of me now?</i>

    Back at the manor,

    Xiao Bao, who had never raised any animals since he was young, was extremely curious when he saw Xia Wanyuan return with a cat. He carefully poked the kitten¡¯s furry head.

    <i>Wow, so soft!!</i>

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Mommy, I want to carry it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stuffed the cat into Xiao Bao¡¯s hand. It was as warm as cotton candy. Xiao Bao didn¡¯t even y Ultraman anymore. He hugged the cat and didn¡¯t let go.

    Xia Wanyuan was still dressed like she was at the award ceremony. She had red lips and ink-ck hair, and she was wearing a long dress that looked like mes as she leaned on the sofa. Jun Shiling held a fruit te and fed her watermelon mouthful by mouthful.

    Xia Wanyuan had been watching Xiao Bao and the cat y, and she did not reject anything that was brought to her mouth. Caught off guard, she bit Jun Shiling¡¯s finger that was holding the melon.

    Jun Shiling was stunned too. His index finger was gently bitten by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s teeth, and he felt a hint of pain wrapped in her warm mouth. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart instantly fluttered.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly relented. ¡°I¡¯m not eating anymore.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling did not say anything and replied calmly. However, the heat in his eyes was so hot that Xia Wanyuan did not dare to look back.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After the award ceremony, the Weibo trending topic list was almost filled with all sorts of trending topics about the ceremony.

    Unexpectedly, the trending topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Best Supporting Actress Award¡± was not the most anticipated this time. After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance in ¡°The Long Bad¡± was indeed remarkable, although some haters would pick on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills.

    However, with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work ced there, anyone with the ability to differentiate right from wrong could tell that it was indeed not a problem for Xia Wanyuan to win this award.

    Amidst the hot searches of all the celebrities, ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡± broke out of the encirclement and rushed into a position that could match a top-notch traffic like Yan Ci.

    Knowing the characteristics of theizens, all the marketing ounts reposted the picture of the Wind of the Gxy

    Xia Wanyuan, who had ink-ck hair and red lips, stood in front of the shing lights. She had a charming bearing, and her eyes had a cold arrogance. The entire photo was cold and arrogant to the extreme, and it also felt extremely sexy.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video of the red carpet was reposted by many people.

    [ Nuwa has already been kidnapped by me. I¡¯ll hit her once with every like. ]

    [ I¡¯ll give you ten thousand likes for the person in front. Help me ask Nuwa why she¡¯s so serious when she pinched Xia Wanyuan. Was she asleep when she pinched me? ]

    [ She¡¯s too beautiful, too beautiful. Who said that there are no beauties in the entertainment industry nowadays? I think Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. ]

    [ All of you are looking at her face. Am I the only one who noticed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words are beautiful? ]

    The eyes of theizens were very sharp. Some people noticed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s signature was very beautiful. Furthermore, it was not the fancy signature written by modern people, but a very beautiful running script with a structure.

 Chapter 418 - Yuan Wanxia? Xia Wanyuan?

    <h4>Chapter 418: Yuan Wanxia? Xia Wanyuan?</h4>

    Normally,izens were stunned and often led by the nose by all kinds of marketing ounts, but in terms of gossip, theizens were the current Sherlock Holmes.

    Someizens screenshotted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s signature on the red carpet and went to speciallypare it. They realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s handwriting was especially simr to the handwriting on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s works.

    @ Foodie No. 1: ¡°Wow, look. Does Xia Wanyuan¡¯s signature look like Yuan Wanxia¡¯s handwriting?¡±

    Theizenspared the ¡°Xia¡± word that Yuan Wanxia had signed with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s signature. The two words couldpletely ovep.

    [ It¡¯s really the same. What¡¯s going on? ]

    [ Don¡¯t you know that Yuan Wanxia is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan? That master chased after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s drama a while ago and even drew an illustration for her character in the drama. It¡¯s especially beautiful. Look. jpg. ]

    [ F*ck! Mrs. Immortal, this is too beautiful! ]

    [ She¡¯s a master of Chinese arts. The type that can sell a painting for ten million dors? What Madam? Don¡¯t call her so young. ]

    [ It must be an autograph specially designed by Master Yuan Wanxia for Xia Wanyuan. The handwriting is the same. Why is Xia Wanyuan so lucky? Boohoo, boohoo, I also want Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s autograph. ]

    Thestment triggered a heated discussion. Theizens agreed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s signature was designed by Yuan Wanxia.

    After all, in everyone¡¯s impression, Xia Wanyuan was a beautiful and young female celebrity in the entertainment industry, while Yuan Wanxia was a respected Chinese arts master who had thrown tens of millions of dors into public service. No one would be stupid enough to think that they were the same person.

    Of course, there were alsoizens who realized that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s name was Xia Wanyuan backwards.

    Theizens discussed this matter. In the end, they concluded that Master Yuan Wanxia was probably really a fan of Xia Wanyuan. Even the footer name was synonymous with Xia Wanyuan.

    No one knew that they had already missed the truth.

    Xia Wanyuan had also seen the photo taken by the Wind of the Gxy. She herself felt that it was quite beautiful, so she spent some time painting and posting it to Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo was widely circted, there were also many famous painters who drew many works overnight, but none of them were more stunning than real photos.

    Because of this, Xia Wanyuan gained a nickname. ¡°A woman who¡¯s more beautiful than two-dimensions.¡±

    However, the photo that Yuan Wanxia had posted had an extremely bright color and mixed light. In the darkness and light, Xia Wanyuan seemed to have walked out from the intersection of ck and white, bringing with her an astonishing beauty.

    [ I knew Yuan Wanxia must be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan!! She drew too well!! I didn¡¯t expect Master to chase celebrities too! He¡¯s really too cute, hahahaha! ]

    [ Thinking of a white-haired old man squatting in front of the live-stream with us and watching the red carpet makes me feel a little funny. Hahaha, too cute. ]

    [ You¡¯re already so old, yet you¡¯re still chasing celebrities and youngdies. Master? Urgh, I think you¡¯re an old pervert! ]

    [ The person in front, are you SB? If you¡¯re old, you deserve to die in bed, right? The master donated ten million public benefits and is noble and conscientious. Only maggots like you are thinking of those dirty things. ]

    Because Yuan Wanxia had a good reputation, the discordantments that jumped around in hisments were quickly suppressed by everyone.

    Everyone was surprised and amused by the fact that Yuan Wanxia was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan. However, most people could understand. After all, Yuan Wanxia had donated ten million dors to build the forest. Everyone was extremely tolerant of him.

    However, after the Qing University people learned of this, they had mixed feelings.

    They had all seen Yuan Wanxia¡¯s application form. It was clearly filled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information.

    <i>Could it be that Yuan Wanxia had gone crazy from chasing celebrities and treated the seat of guest professor at Qing University as a joke?</i>

    The school¡¯s impression of Yuan Wanxia decreased to negative points. The leader even specially greeted the person from the recruitment office.?<i>Yuan Wanxia did not respect the school at all. They shouldn¡¯t recruit such a person.</i>

    When the news reached Professor Zhang, he was at a loss whether tough or cry. He hurriedly called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Little friend Xia, look at what happened. Why don¡¯t youe to the school? After all, this matter of yours is really too strange. If the school doesn¡¯t see it with their own eyes, they definitely won¡¯t be able to give you this spot.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go over in the afternoon then.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan continued to film. Ever since she had given Yan Ci a hint thest time, Yan Ci rarely looked for her alone in the production team.

    Yan Ci¡¯s time was very tight. He hade over to help Fu Li in the first ce. In order to amodate his time, Li Heng tried his best to finish filming Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes first. Every day, he filmed their scenes tightly.

    Yan Ci¡¯s standards were high, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were also very good. The two of them hardly needed any polishing or retake. 95% of the scenes were filmed in one take.

    Li Heng had originally calcted a three-month filming period. Now, more than half a month had passed, yet the scenes of the two main characters were about to be filmed finished. After being a director for so many years, this was the first time Li Heng felt that directing was so easy.

    It was also because of this that when Xia Wanyuan went to apply for leave from Li Heng, he approved it readily.

    Out of habit, Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling on WeChat that she was going to the Qing University in the afternoon. Coincidentally, Jun Shiling also sent a message.

    ¡°Come out, I¡¯m outside your production team.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan switched off her phone and left the base. She saw a familiar car parked by the roadside.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the car door. Jun Shiling was waiting for her with a watermelon in his hand.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy? Why are you here at this time?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the car. The cold air in the car instantly washed away the heat on her body. She took a bite of the watermelon that Jun Shiling had brought to her mouth.

    <i>How sweet.</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m busy. I¡¯ll go back after eating lunch with you.¡±

    Of course, Jun Shiling was busy, but he still wanted to have lunch with Xia Wanyuan, so he brought the food and traveled through most of Beijing to the film studio.

    ¡°Eat it yourself.¡± Jun Shiling handed the watermelon to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll pick fish bones for you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the watermelon and bit into it as she watched Jun Shiling roll up his sleeves and focus on picking fish for her.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s serious side profile, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She seemed to like Jun Shiling a little more every day.

    ¡°Am I that good-looking?¡± Jun Shiling picked up the fishbone and asked with a smile.

    ¡°Mm, you are.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Compared to your male lead, Yan Ci?¡± Jun Shiling asked inexplicably.

    ¡°You¡¯re the best-looking one. Are you jealous? He¡¯s just my colleague.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted. ¡°I think he¡¯s a colleague who has an ulterior motive for you.¡±

    It wasn¡¯t as if he didn¡¯t have a Weibo ount. Don¡¯t think that he didn¡¯t see the leaked drama photos. He was too familiar with the way Yan Ci looked at her.

 Chapter 419 - Yuan Wanxias Shocking Appearance

    <h4>Chapter 419: Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Shocking Appearance</h4>

    Although Xia Wanyuan had never been in a rtionship, she knew that since they were together, she had to give the other party a sense of security. In this aspect, Jun Shiling had done his best.

    She could understand Jun Shiling¡¯s jealousy. Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned on Jun Shiling. ¡°Even if others have thoughts, they don¡¯t have a chance. CEO Jun, you¡¯re so strict.¡±

    After picking the fish bones, Jun Shiling freed himself and hugged her. He leaned closer and was greeted with the fragrance of a watermelon. ¡°Is it just because I¡¯m strict?¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s because my heart is firm.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled, her eyes as bright as diamonds.

    ¡°Then please be firm.¡± Pleased by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed the two cloves of sweet fragrance that had the smell of watermelon.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s eat.¡± They were at the edge of the cliff again. Jun Shiling barely pulled back his rationality. He was afraid that if he continued, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to eat lunch.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and looked at the food in her bowl.

    Xia Wanyuan had just finished a slice of watermelon and felt that her stomach was quite full. ¡°It¡¯s a little too much. I can¡¯t finish so much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll eat it if I can¡¯t finish it,¡± Jun Shiling replied very naturally.

    Xia Wanyuan was suddenly a little touched. In her previous life, no matter how much her parents loved each other, they had never done this. This was because while her father was her husband, he was also the king of a country. He would never lower his status like this.

    However, no matter how much power and wealth Jun Shiling had outside, he had always been like the most ordinary person in front of her, taking every little thing about her to heart.

    ¡°Hug ~¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly became a little childish and reached out to Jun Shiling.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan acting like a child, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart melted. He smiled and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Let me feed you.¡±

    With that, he scooped a mouthful of food with a spoon and brought it to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth. She opened her mouth and ate it.

    When he wanted to feed her a second mouthful, he was stopped by Xia Wanyuan.?<i>Jun Shiling was so busy, so he must be hungry now.</i>?¡°Didn¡¯t you not eat lunch either? I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±

    Seeing the heartache in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling was delighted. He kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°I like to feed you. I¡¯ll eatter.¡±

    Jun Shiling only ate lunch when Xia Wanyuan was full.

    ¡°What time are you going to Qing University? Let me send you there?¡±

    ¡°Half past two.¡±

    un Shiling looked at the time. There was a meeting in the afternoon. The meeting was at half-past three. It was just nice. He could send her over before returning to thepany.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll send you there.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan also wanted to spend more time with Jun Shiling, so she did not decline and agreed to Jun Shiling¡¯s suggestion.

    Jun Shiling had never felt that he would be a person who ¡°never goes to court early¡±. However, after meeting Xia Wanyuan, he often had the thought of not wanting to go to work but apanying her.

    Time passed quickly as they carried on coquettishly. Even if Jun Shiling did not want to let go, the car had already arrived at the entrance of Qing University.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go in.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Okay, call me when it¡¯s over. I¡¯ll pick you up when I have time.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    It was midsummer. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask and holding an umbre. Other than her extremely moving figure and attracting attention, no one realized that she was the celebrity, Xia Wanyuan.

    When she arrived at the school leader¡¯s office that Professor Zhang had mentioned, Xia Wanyuan knocked on the door.

    ¡°Pleasee in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door. Other than Professor Zhang, there were three other people in the office.

    ¡°Miss, who are you looking for?¡± Looking at this young woman who was dressed fashionably, the school leader was stunned.

    Xia Wanyuan took off her mask and sunsses.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Yuan Wanxia. I arranged toe for an interview with the school.¡±

 Chapter 420 - Drawing On the Spot to Prove Her Identity

    <h4>Chapter 420: Drawing On the Spot to Prove Her Identity</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the office.

    Other than Professor Zhang, the other three people had shocked expressions. They had seen all sorts of storms before, but facing such a young and beautifuldy, saying that she was Master Yuan Wanxia, they still felt that it was a fantasy.

    ¡°Hello, may I know your name?¡± The leader was a leader after all. The shock on his face quickly disappeared as if nothing had happened.

    ¡°Principal Yang, this is Master Yuan Wanxia, whom I strongly rmended to the school.¡± Professor Zhang stood up and introduced her.

    The head of the Literature and Arts department stood up and looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    ¡°Old Zhang, are you sure this youngdy is Yuan Wanxia?¡± Even though Principal Yang did not believe Xia Wanyuan, he believed Professor Zhang.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure.¡± Professor Zhang swore.

    Principal Yang forced a smile and reached out to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Then please sit.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat at the guest table graciously.

    The school leader still did note back to his senses. He sat closer to take a look.?<i>Yuan Wanxia was too beautiful. Furthermore, from her age, she was not older than 25 years old. How could she be a master-level talent that the literary and art departments had just fought over?</i>

    ¡°May I know your original name?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°It seems to coincide with the name of a female celebrity in the entertainment industry.¡± Principal Yangughed, wanting to ease the awkward atmosphere in the office.

    ¡°I am that female celebrity.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words lowered the atmosphere in the office to the freezing point.

    ¡°Oh, oh, oh?¡± Principal Yang was a little stunned.

    He had never paid much attention to the entertainment industry. The reason he knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name was because he had heard this namest night when his wife was educating his son that was chasing after stars.

    His rebellious son was in his adolescence. He had bought arge pile of posters of Xia Wanyuan at home and was nagged by his mother every day.

    Now that this female celebrity was sitting in front of him and even told him that she was the respected Chinese arts master, Yuan Wanxia, Principal Yang felt that this matter was unreal.

    ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Principal Yang received the hint in the eyes of the two deans and coughed lightly. ¡°To be honest, Miss Xia, you¡¯re too young. Yuan Wanxia¡¯s literary skills, calligraphy, and painting skills are quite profound. We have to confirm if you¡¯re really Master Yuan Wanxia.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to the painting and calligraphy room in the building next door. There are all the tools there.¡±

    With that, Principal Yang stood up and led them to the next building.

    When they arrived at the painting room, there were all kinds of tools. ¡°Miss Xia, do you mind if we watch here?¡±

    ¡°You can watch.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her bag and walked to the table.

    The ink on the table had been grinded and the Xuan paper had been spread out. Xia Wanyuan looked around and saw extremely beautiful lotus flowers blooming outside the window.

    Picking up the brush, she dipped it in ink and dropped it on the paper.

    The head of the art department widened his eyes. To draw without drafts or even concepts, either Xia Wanyuan did not know how to draw at all, or her foundation was extremely deep and she did not need these things.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s young and exquisite side profile, the art dean could not believe that she was thetter.

 Chapter 421 - The Princess Officially Becomes Qing Universitys Professor

    <h4>Chapter 421: The Princess Officially Bes Qing University¡¯s Professor</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan held the brush and drew happily on the Xuan paper.

    In order not to disturb Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work, they sat a little far away from her. They could only see her smooth actions and not the scene on the paper.

    However, it had to be said that when Xia Wanyuan drew, her posture and spirit were extremely admirable.

    ¡°Old Zhang, if not for your strong guarantee, I wouldn¡¯t believe that such a young girl was actually a master who made the two department directors fight over her.¡±

    ¡°Principal, I didn¡¯t believe it at first either, but you¡¯ll know if she is after seeing her work.¡±

    ¡°I hope so.¡±

    He had thought that it would take half an hour to an hour, but before he could finish the tea, Xia Wanyuan had already put down her brush.

    ¡°It¡¯s done?!¡± Principal Yang and the two deans walked to the table in surprise.

    A lifelike lotus water painting was ced on the table. The ink had not dried, making the water droplets on the lotus petals look like they were about to drip down. The ethereal and moving aura was reflected in the painting.

    ¡°Good painting!! Good calligraphy!! That¡¯s great!¡± The head of the art departmentplimented consecutively. Not only was the painting vivid, but her painting skills were also profound. It was Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s work.

    The director looked at the painting and then at the exquisite Xia Wanyuan beside him. ¡°This is too unbelievable. Master Yuan Wanxia is actually such a youngdy. The waves behind really surpass the waves in the front. Youngdy, your future is limitless.¡±

    At that moment, Principal Yang also believed the fact that Xia Wanyuan was Yuan Wanxia.

    ¡°We believe you. Let¡¯s go and chat now.¡± Principal Yang brought people back to the office.

    The head of the literature department walked beside Xia Wanyuan and discussed a few questions with her. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts were clear and her angle was unique, giving him a lot of inspiration. When he arrived at Principal Yang¡¯s office, he was already extremely convinced of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°It¡¯s like this. Miss Xia is indeed talented.¡± Principal Yang looked at the others awkwardly. ¡°But she doesn¡¯t have enough experience. Furthermore, Miss Xia¡¯s age and appearance will probably cause a lot of controversy.¡±

    Although the two department directors wanted to recruit Xia Wanyuan, what Principal Yang said made sense. After all, at her age, her appearance, and her status in the entertainment industry, rashly introducing her would definitely cause amotion.

    ¡°What do you think?¡± Professor Zhang thought for a while. ¡°Let¡¯s go through the procedures first and let Yuan Wanxia participate in the school¡¯s research project, curriculum writing, and so on. She won¡¯t be participating in the teaching for the time being. Everyone has seen her talent just now. As long as we give her some time to umte some experience, we can publicly let her teach in the school when she has results.¡±

    The moment Professor Zhang said this, the two deans were excited. After all, they were busy now, and the curriculum and research project were very short on people. If Xia Wanyuan could participate, it would greatly reduce their pressure.

    Principal Yang thought for a while. ¡°Miss Xia, what do you think?¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°What department should she be in?¡± The two directors were anxious. They both wanted this person.

    ¡°If Miss Xia doesn¡¯t mind, you can sign them both.¡±

    ¡°I have no problem.¡± In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, literature and art were one, so she did not feel that there was a difference.

    ¡°Okay, then we can sign the contract now.¡± Principal Yang took out the contract that had been prepared and ced it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Both parties ced their hands on the signing area and the contract officially took effect.

    ¡°Wee, Professor Xia.¡± Principal Yang put away the contract and stood up to reach out to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan shook his hand back.

    The blue sky outside the window and the white clouds in the room were filled with the fragrance of books. With the two contracts officialized, Xia Wanyuan had officially be a guest professor at the highest institution in China.

    ¡°Professor Xia, we¡¯ll be colleagues in the future.¡± Professor Zhang sent Xia Wanyuan out.

    ¡°Professor Zhang, you must be joking. If there¡¯s anything I don¡¯t understand in the future, please guide me.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled modestly.

    ¡°Your future achievements will probably be much higher than mine. I don¡¯t dare to teach you.¡± Professor Zhang smiled and said, ¡°I still have something on, so I¡¯ll just send you here. Qing University wees you.¡±

    ¡°Okay, goodbye.¡±

    After separating from Professor Zhang, Xia Wanyuan sent a message to Jun Shiling to tell him not to pick her up. She returned to the manor directly.

    The chauffeur was still on the road. The sky, which had been clear a moment ago, suddenly darkened. It was summer and there was heavy rain. The pedestrians on the road were afraid of being drenched by the rain and hurriedly ran.

    The strong wind lifted the dust on the ground. A white car slowly stopped beside Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, why are you here?¡±

 Chapter 422 - An Rao Neighbor?

    <h4>Chapter 422: An Rao Neighbor?</h4>

    ¡°I¡¯m here to do something.¡± Xia Wanyuan was puzzled.?<i>Why do I bump into Wei Zimu every time I wait for a car?</i>

    ¡°Get in the car first. It¡¯s going to rain soon.¡± Before Wei Zimu could finish his sentence, rain began to fall from the sky. Wei Zimu opened the door of the front passenger seat. Xia Wanyuan looked at the chauffeur¡¯s location. It was still a little far from her.

    She opened the car door and got in.

    ¡°Why are you here too?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Wei Zimu, who was still wearing an official suit.

    ¡°I graduated from Qing University. It was the school¡¯s birthday and they asked me toe back and give a speech. I just drove out of school and saw you.¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s voice was gentle. ¡°Let me send you back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then send me to the west city apartment.¡± Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Xia Wanyuan did not want Wei Zimu to send her to the manor directly, so she told him the address of the apartment.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Wei Zimu started the car. ¡°I went to Continent M for a business trip a few days ago. The hamburgers over there are very delicious. I brought some for everyone. There¡¯s another bag beside your seat. Take it back and eat it.¡±

    ¡°Do you like to buy snacks so much?¡± Xia Wanyuan saw the bag beside her.

    It seemed that every time she met Wei Zimu, he would give her some snacks.

    ¡°I promised a friend a long time ago that if I went around the world in the future, I would bring back all the delicious things for her. Later on, I bought them as a habit. Wherever I go, I¡¯ll see what¡¯s delicious first.¡± Wei Zimu drove steadily as he spoke to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Then your friend must be very happy to have you keep your promise.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps,¡± Wei Zimu said inexplicably and stopped talking. The rain became heavier and the water pirs hit the car window, emitting crackling sounds.

    Soon, the car arrived at the apartment. Wei Zimu held an umbre and opened the door for Xia Wanyuan.

    With the umbre in hand, Wei Zimu picked up the hamburger bag on the seat and sent Xia Wanyuan upstairs. The umbre, which was originally enough to amodate two people, was covered over Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head under Wei Zimu¡¯s deliberate tilt.

    ¡°Alright, Sister Wanyuan, I¡¯ll go back first. I still have something to do at thepany. This is for you.¡± Wei Zimu handed the snack bag to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, thank you for sending me.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, her gazending on Wei Zimu¡¯s drenched right shoulder.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. You¡¯re my sister.¡± Wei Zimu smiled warmly. He raised the umbre and walked into the rain again.

    Xia Wanyuan shook the rain off her and waited in front of the elevator.

    ¡°Aiya, why is it raining so heavily?! Look at the limited edition bag I just bought. It¡¯s drenched. You as a manager can¡¯t make it. I have to cut your bonus, you know right?¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, is the rain something I can control? If you want to cut my bonus, you have to walk over my corpse first.¡±

    The two quarreling people stood beside Xia Wanyuan, waiting for the elevator to arrive.

    ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m starving to death. Is there something wrong with that group of reporters?! Who saw me seducing that trash, Huang Tu? Is he even worthy of being seduced by me?! I¡¯m so angry. I¡¯m going to eat arge pot of meat to vent my hatred.¡±

    Hearing this voice, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was a little familiar. She turned her head and looked. Wearing hot pants and suspenders, she was as ostentatious as a blooming rose.?<i>Wasn¡¯t she the ¡°Medusa¡± An Rao from the entertainment industry I had met after the award ceremony thest time?</i>

    Sensing the person beside her sizing her up, An Rao nced to the side and met those beautiful eyes that had ice in them. An Rao eximed, ¡°Eh?¡±?<i>This person looks a little familiar.</i>

    <i>It was a little like the little celebrity who had taken the initiative to give me a name card and wanted to use my poprity?</i>

    Ding! The elevator opened and Xia Wanyuan walked in. An Rao followed.

    The two of them went to the 16th floor, and the floor slowly rose. An Rao held back for a long time, but this little celebrity did not speak to her. She nced at the calm Xia Wanyuan and thought to herself,?<i>Did I recognize the wrong person?</i>

    <i>That¡¯s not right. I lived alone on the 16th floor and this person did not press the floor. She must want to follow me. Other than that little celebrity, I can¡¯t think of any other reason.</i>

    An Rao took off her sunsses and nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°The who? Last time, you took the initiative to give me your name card, but now you¡¯re stalking me? What¡¯s wrong with you little celebrities? Why are you so unscrupulous in order to gain poprity?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao, who felt very good about herself, and pulled down her mask and sunsses. ¡°It¡¯s not to gain poprity.¡±

    An Rao frowned.?<i>No way? This person was beautiful. I was just casually saying it. Could it be that she really had a crush on me?</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s to take advantage of your confidence.¡± After Xia Wanyuan said this, she walked out of the elevator.

    ???

    An Rao reacted and looked at her manager. ¡°Is she saying that I¡¯m narcissistic??¡±

    The manager nodded seriously. ¡°Little ancestor, she¡¯s not the only one who said that. Actually, I think so too.¡±

    An Rao rushed out of the elevator to exin things to Xia Wanyuan, only to see that she was typing the password to enter.

    ¡°You¡¯re the tenant on the left??¡± An Rao was stunned.?<i>Didn¡¯t no onee to live in this t?</i>?She thought that she was the only tenant on the 16th floor.

    ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at An Rao, her eyes cold.

    An Rao was stunned.?<i>This little celebrity¡¯s aura was quite strong.</i>

    ¡°No problem.¡± An Rao was a little embarrassed by her own wishful thinking and blinked unnaturally.

    Xia Wanyuan walked in and closed the door. An Rao stood outside for a while before walking towards her door.

    ¡°Um, little ancestor, you guys are neighbors. If you want to be friends with her, go ahead.¡± The manager followed An Rao in.

    Who wants to be friends with her??¡± An Rao red at her manager. Unfortunately, she was too beautiful, and even her re seemed to be seductive. ¡°I¡¯m such a big shot. Can I lower myself to be friends with such a B-list celebrity? Are you kidding me??¡±

    The manager chuckled.

    Half an hourter, An Rao held a fruit te and looked at her manager with a conflicted expression. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s appropriate for a big shot like me to lower my status and send someone a fruit te?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s your neighbor. So what if the neighbor gives you a te of fruits?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± An Rao picked up the te of fruits.?<i>¡®Isn¡¯t she just a neighbor? What does it matter if I express my concern to my new neighbor?¡¯</i>

    Just as she opened the door, she saw Xia Wanyuan standing outside.

    ¡°What are you doing at my door?¡± An Rao ced the te of fruits behind her.

    ¡°Do you want to sit at my ce for a while? Thank you forst time.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°Who cares?¡± An Rao was halfway through her sentence when she saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold and cheerless expression. She suddenly turned around and looked very reluctant. ¡°I¡¯ll go and take a look. I¡¯ve always felt that I¡¯m tired of this house¡¯s renovation. I¡¯ll go and take a look at your renovation.¡±

    With that, she followed Xia Wanyuan into the neighbor¡¯s house with a basket of fruits.

 Chapter 423 - Call Each Other Sister

    <h4>Chapter 423: Call Each Other Sister</h4>

    To An Rao¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s house was not as cold as she had imagined. Instead, it was filled with warmth.

    ¡°Do whatever you want. I¡¯ll get some drinks.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan returned, she saw An Rao casually leaning on the sofa, just like how she usuallyy on the sofa.

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± An Rao asked curiously. She had been ying with her phone when she attended the award ceremony and had not noticed who this little celebrity was.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Oh, Xia Wanyuan.¡± An Rao nodded and looked at the ancient zither beside her. ¡°You know how to y this?¡±

    ¡°A little.¡±

    ¡°Really? Then I¡¯ll test you.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Miraculously, although An Rao looked like a vixen who was about to seduce Schr Lu, she actually dabbled in many aspects like zither, calligraphy, and painting. Even Xia Wanyuan did not expect this.

    ¡°My father liked this and forced me to learn this and that since I was young. Later on, I was toozy to learn, so I entered the entertainment industry. My parents were very angry at me.¡± In a few moves, An Rao exined her background and even told Xia Wanyuan where her grandparents worked.

    ¡°It¡¯s so boring when it rains. Do you know how to y games?¡± An Rao took out her phone and tried to entice Xia Wanyuan to y with her.

    After all, because of her amazing skills, no one was willing to y with her.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan switched on her phone and entered the game interface, directly choosing the jungler hero, Luna.

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao nced at Xia Wanyuan suspiciously. ¡°Sister, can you do it?¡±

    In just two hours, An Rao¡¯s address for Xia Wanyuan had changed from that woman who was trying to gain poprity to sister.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s achievement of looking down on everyone convinced An Rao.

    The two of them yed games for a while. An Rao was a person who could not stay idle. She pulled Xia Wanyuan and experienced many small games that she had never yed before. She even enthusiastically exined 999 gossip articles in the entertainment industry to Xia Wanyuan.

    It was soon past six o¡¯clock. An Rao was about to say that she would bring Xia Wanyuan to eat when Xia Wanyuan received a call and said that she wanted to leave.

    ¡°Alright, then sister, don¡¯t forget to y games with me tonight. It¡¯s the key round of my Tribtion Gold.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    An Rao returned to her house reluctantly while Xia Wanyuan went downstairs.

    ¡°It¡¯s a miracle that she didn¡¯t chase you out.¡± The manager was prepared tofort An Rao, but he waited for a long time without seeing An Raoe out from the other side.

    In the entertainment industry, because of An Rao¡¯s bold and wanton way of doing things, and because she had such a beautiful appearance, no female celebrity was willing to y with her. They did not even have any superficial feelings.

    ¡°Pfft, can my sister be so superficial?¡± An Rao looked at her manager smugly. ¡°Hey, have I finally made a friend??¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I¡¯m practically crying like a god. It hasn¡¯t been easy.¡± The manager looked at An Rao, who looked like a vixen but was actually a fool, and sighed in his heart. He didn¡¯t even know if she was here to gain poprity, but she was already calling her sister. He was impressed.

    ¡°Why are you here today?¡± Jun Shiling pulled her over.

    ¡°It was raining outside school and I bumped into Wei Zimu. He sent me over.¡±

    <i>Wei Zimu?</i>?Jun Shiling¡¯s eyebrows twitched.

    Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window.?<i>This car wasn¡¯t going back to the manor.</i>

    ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°To do something you¡¯ve been wanting to do recently.¡±

 Chapter 424 - Closing the Village Nationalistic Feelings

    <h4>Chapter 424: Closing the Vige Nationalistic Feelings</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Jun Shiling¡¯s words stunned Xia Wanyuan.?<i>What had I always wanted to do? It seemed like there was nothing I especially wanted to do.?</i>

    Thinking of Jun Shiling¡¯s usual teasing, Xia Wanyuan could not help but blush.

    Jun Shiling saw the color on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and chuckled. ¡°What are you thinking? Did I misunderstand what you¡¯ve always wanted to do?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to help you with the procedures? It¡¯s already done. Go and sign the contract today. You can make the raw material base you want and the road you want to repair.¡±

    ¡°So soon?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise.

    ¡°Mm, Madam¡¯s matters have to be ced first.¡± Jun Shiling smiled.

    When they arrived at their destination, someone was already waiting at the door. Jun Shiling was waiting in the car. Half an hourter, Xia Wanyuan returned to the car.

    Holding the contract, Xia Wanyuan had a helpless expression. ¡°Your fund¡¯s name-¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Ning Yuan Fund nice? I still think this isn¡¯t eye-catching enough. Sooner orter, I¡¯ll change it to the Ling Yuan Fund.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Let¡¯s go back. I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Young man,e and eat this melon. I didn¡¯t use any fertilizer for this. It¡¯s very delicious.¡±

    The in vige woman brought the melon that had just been cooled down from the well to Shen Qian. Not far away, many people sized up this young man who looked very imposing from the outside curiously.

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan wanted Shen Qian to send someone over casually, but Shen Qian thought that he wouldn¡¯t be at ease leaving this matter to others, so he followed the two melon farmers to a small vige in East Mountain.

    ¡°Auntie, why are they gathered there?¡± Shen Qian pointed in front.

    ¡°The peddlers are here to collect things. Sigh.¡±

    ¡°How much is it?¡±

    The woman stretched out her hand and gestured, her face filled with worry. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s too low, but there¡¯s nothing we can do. We¡¯re separated from the outside by a mountain. It¡¯s already not bad if there are peddlers who are willing toe and collect them. The two of us went to Beijing to sell melons, but we could only take a portion. There¡¯s a huge portion left, but we can only hand it to the melon traffickers.¡±

    ¡°How about this, Auntie? Go and tell everyone to prepare. I¡¯ll send someone to collect it the day after tomorrow. The price will be three times the current price.¡±

    ¡°Really, young man? Don¡¯t lie to us.¡± The woman widened her eyes in disbelief.

    ¡°It¡¯s true. If you don¡¯t believe me, do you believe that Miss Xia? She asked me toe.¡±

    Hearing Shen Qian mention Xia Wanyuan, the stall owner¡¯s heart calmed down for no reason. Thinking of thatdy¡¯s appearance, the stall owner felt that this person was probably a living Bodhisattva reincarnated.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had only spoken a few words to her, she trusted and respected Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of her heart. She immediately went to greet her parents and rtives.

    That night, Shen Qian reported the situation to Xia Wanyuan. This small vige was blocked by mountains by the sea. In fact, the climate and geographical location were not bad. The only problem was transportation.

    That ce was very close to Beijing. If it could be a raw material production ce for thepany, it would greatly save transportation costs.

    ¡°Please stay there for two more days. An engineering team will arrive in a few days.¡±

    Not only was Jun Shiling efficient, but he was also veryprehensive in his thinking. With a multi-pronged approach, he handled the procedures while bidding. Because the price was high, someone quickly epted the project.

    ¡°Yes, CEO Xia.¡±

    Looking at the closed countryside in front of him, he thought of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright n for this ce.

    Shen Qian had a strange feeling in his heart.?<i>Why do I have nationalistic feelings when I help CEO Xiaplete matters, when I¡¯m clearly a businessman??</i>

 Chapter 425 - Qing University Officially Announces Princess becoming a Professor

    <h4>Chapter 425: Qing University Officially Announces Princess bing a Professor</h4>

    Other than filming, Xia Wanyuan had a very important matter to attend to.

    It was Old Master Jun¡¯s birthday.

    When she first came to the modern world, it was still the flowers of the third spring. Now, it was summer in the blink of an eye. And the birthday of the old master, who she felt was very far away at that time, was already in front of her.

    The Old Master wanted to make use of his seventieth birthday to announce to the world that Xia Wanyuan was Madam Jun, letting everyone know that the Jun family had a mistress now.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could express her opinion, Jun Shiling rejected this suggestion. The old master discussed with Jun Shiling for a long time, but Jun Shiling refused to let Xia Wanyuan appear at the old master¡¯s 70th birthday banquet.

    The old master could not shake Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts anymore. He sighed and did not mention this anymore. In the end, he gave in and held a family birthday banquet where his family and friends were reunited, so Xia Wanyuan had to be present, as Xia Wanyuan could not be present at such arge socializing banquet.

    Jun Shiling agreed.

    ¡°Are you angry at me?¡± Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan, his voice low.

    ¡°Why will I be angry? Because you won¡¯t let me attend Grandpa¡¯s birthday banquet?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt ufortable at first, but she trusted Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I want to publicize you more than anyone.¡± After Jun Shiling said this, he did not speak further and only held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were the same kind of people. She quickly understood what he was thinking, and a warm feeling arose in her heart. Even though Jun Shiling already had overwhelming power, he had never thought of her as a vassal.

    He did not want to be a haze on her path to growth.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded.

    Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms, and his muffled voice sounded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°You don¡¯t know how much I want the world to know that you¡¯re my wife.¡±

    Almost every second, he wanted everyone to know that Xia Wanyuan was his lover. The strong impulse was about to tear him apart, but the remaining rationality was still tugging at him.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s back, as if telling him that this day would not be long.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After Xia Wanyuan became a professor at Qing University, the official Weibo ount of Qing University even specially posted a Weibo post.

    @ Qing University: ¡°Master Yuan Wanxia is a master who is extremely aplished in literature and art. Qing University has always opened its arms and values talents from all over the world. We¡¯re very honored. This time, we¡¯re lucky to invite Master Yuan Wanxia to be a guest professor in the Qing University¡¯s literature and arts department. We wee Master Yuan Wanxia to Qing University.¡±

    [ Wow, amazing. I like Master so much. When can Mastere and teach us? ]

    [ Qing University is still amazing. They recruited Master Yuan Wanxia so quickly. ]

    [ I only know that Master Yuan Wanxia is good at painting. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so good in literature? She¡¯s the top in the world. ]

    [ When can hee to ss? I¡¯m quite curious about what Great Teacher Yuan Wanxia is like. ]

    After all, Yuan Wanxia was a master of Chinese arts who had been praised by the national television station. No one objected to such a person bing a professor in Qing University. They just wanted to watch the news.

    However,pared to before, there were moreizens asking Master to teach literature under Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount. After all, Yuan Wanxia was the most down-to-earth master on Weibo.

    Furthermore, Yuan Wanxia was still a dual professor at Qing University. If they could receive his guidance, it would be equivalent to them listening to a Qing University ss. Everyone was especially enthusiastic.

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been supplementing all sorts of works in the thousand years since the Great Xia Dynasty, so she treated Weibo as a ce to discuss and learn. From time to time, she would answer some questions from theizens ording to her understanding.

    Seeing how down-to-earth Master Yuan Wanxia was, theizens respected him even more.

    Other than the two department directors, no one else knew Yuan Wanxia¡¯s true identity.

    In the beginning, the other professors only probed Yuan Wanxia to ask her some questions and wanted to understand her. In the end, after a few rounds, everyone realized that Yuan Wanxia was indeed very skilled, but she was a little mysterious.

    However, it was normal for people involved in literature and art to be a little mysterious.

    Everyone pulled Yuan Wanxia into the academic seminar group at Qing University and saw that Yuan Wanxia was a national master. She was using Xia Wanyuan¡¯s young and beautiful smiling WeChat profile picture.

    The teachers in the group were stunned for a moment.?<i>So the rumors outside were true!!</i>

    <i>Master Yuan is still chasing celebrities at such an old age! Amazing.</i>

    However, everyone was ultimately a high-quality person and was very tolerant of all kinds of things. They were only a little shocked in their hearts but did not show it.

    Soon, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s professionalism and personal ability won everyone¡¯s approval. Who cared if his WeChat profile picture was a celebrity in the entertainment industry? It was just a personal preference. Anyway, it did not affect him being a master.

    She often discussed academic problems with everyone. Yuan Wanxia had also sessfully established a good rtionship with the teachers from the Arts and Literature departments of the Qing University. Everyone expressed that when Master Yuan came to lecture at the Qing University, they must have a meal together.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached when he saw Xia Wanyuan returning home after filming every day and reading the various books in the study.

 Chapter 426 - Heartache Music Variety

    <h4>Chapter 426: Heartache Music Variety</h4>

    There were originally two study rooms in the main building, but Jun Shiling insisted that Xia Wanyuan go with him, so she did.

    The nearly 150 square metersrge study was originally a little empty. As more and more books were moved in, the study became full.

    By the time Jun Shiling finished reading the three proposals and looked up, it was already ten o¡¯clock at night.

    Not far away, Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the table reading an ancient book that was twenty centimeters tall. Under the light, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were tired, but there was a light in them.

    asionally, when she flipped through something of value, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression would be very excited.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly, his heart sour and soft.

    He felt sorry for her, but he was also proud that she was so outstanding.

    When he finally saw Xia Wanyuan close the book, Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up by the waist.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan was shocked.

    ¡°I¡¯ll carry you to bed. You¡¯re already working so hard. What else can I do?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly.

    He couldn¡¯t stop Xia Wanyuan from reading. He could tell that Xia Wanyuan was very happy being a professor.

    His heart ached for her, so he could only try to pamper her from other aspects. For example, he did not want her to walk.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan saw the pain in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and her heart sweetened. She hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and leaned into his arms without worry.

    Xiao Bao had fallen asleep long ago. Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the bed, pulled the nket over her, and nted a kiss on her forehead.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up. She pulled Jun Shiling and kissed him on the cheek. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hard work had paid off. It was very difficult for a new member to gain a foothold in the team. And Xia Wanyuan had done it. In an extremely short period of time, she had won everyone¡¯s trust and even obtained the opportunity to enter the national key project.

    Many projects had been exposed on the official Weibo of Qing University. However, everyone did not pay attention to Yuan Wanxia at all times, so almost no one noticed these details.

    There were too many things to do, so busy that Xia Wanyuan had forgotten that she had once released an album.

    It was only when Tang Yin reminded her to attend the music festival that Xia Wanyuan recalled.

    ¡°Oh, I remember now. I did make an album.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Tang Yin choked speechlessly.?<i>Ancestor!! That was an album that swept through the champions of all the major tforms!!</i>

    <i>You actually forgot an album that has broken countless records?? Do you still want those people who rely on singing to make a living? They might not be able to make such an album in their lives.</i>

    ¡°That¡¯s right. This music ceremony is quite authoritative. The sales of your Wanfeng¡¯s album has already far surpassed second ce. There must be a ce for you at such a ceremony.¡±

    ¡°Okay,e and pick me up when the timees.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s something else. Your album¡¯s response is actually especially good, so thepany has an idea to let you participate in a singing variety program. Do you think it will work?¡±

    ¡°You and Chen Yun decide.¡± Xia Wanyuan had always trusted her subordinates. ¡°I have no opinons.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll sign you up.¡± Thepany wanted Xia Wanyuan to be a superstar who had developed all-round in film and television songs. The poprity of Wanfeng¡¯s album had gradually passed, and the audience had to remember again that Xia Wanyuan was especially good at singing.

 Chapter 427 - Reappearance of the Bracelet in the Past Life

    <h4>Chapter 427: Reappearance of the Bracelet in the Past Life</h4>

    Old Master Jun¡¯s birthday was on the 22nd of June. It was Old Master Jun¡¯s seventieth birthday, so he would definitely be the center of attention.

    However, Old Master did not look forward to the 22nd of June at all. On the contrary, he preferred the 21st because it was their family banquet.

    Jun Shiling was too busy. Even if he tried his best to squeeze some time in, he could only rush back in the afternoon.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes were almost done. She easily took leave and apanied the old master in the manor.

    The old master looked at the current manor that was filled with people and recalled how cold it was a few months ago. He sighed in his heart.

    ¡°Wanyuan, this is for you.¡± The old master took out a stack of documents and a box from his bag and handed them to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened it. ¡°Equity Transfer Document.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, this is?¡±

    ¡°Keep it. What I gave you is different from what Ah Ling gave you. I¡¯ve already handed the Jun Corporation to him. The other assets that belong to me are now divided into two. You take half and give the rest to Xiao Bao.¡± The old master looked lovingly at Xiao Bao, who was ying football in the garden.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need this , Grandpa.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to decline, but the old master stopped her.

    ¡°I know you don¡¯t need it,¡± Old Master said slowly. ¡°With Ah Ling¡¯s feelings for you now, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll be willing to give the Jun Corporation to you. I¡¯m his grandfather. I know him too well.¡±

    The old master smiled kindly. ¡°But that was given to you by him. This is a gift from me to my granddaughter-inw.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. Indeed, this asset represented the Old Master¡¯s recognition of her. Xia Wanyuan did not decline anymore. ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡±

    ¡°This bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation in the Jun family. After Ah Ling¡¯s mother passed away back then, this bracelet has always been with me. Now, it¡¯s yours.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened the box and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly hid it.

    ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. I¡¯m relieved that you can live well with Ah Ling.¡± After speaking, Old Master stood up and went to the garden to look for Xiao Bao.

    After Old Master walked out, Xia Wanyuan picked up the bracelet on the table.

    The bracelet was blue like water, but there was a small section that was naturally blood-red. It looked like a phoenix flying in mes.

    Xia Wanyuan touched the back of the phoenix and indeed saw an extremely fine scratch that was difficult to notice with the naked eye.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes changed.?<i>This was the bracelet from my previous life.</i>

    The name of this bracelet was the Falling Phoenix Bracelet. From the moment she was born, she had been wearing it. When she was twenty-two, there was a traitor in the army. She led her troops into the enemy camp and was set up to fall off the horse and roll down the cliff. When her life was in danger, she met a couple and they saved her.

    After she recovered from her illness, there was nothing else on her except for the Falling Phoenix Bracelet. She took it off and gave it to the couple.

    <i>Could it be that the Jun family was the descendant of that couple?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered slightly. In her previous life, she had almost lost her life on the cliff and given the bracelet to her benefactor. Now, after a thousand years, the bracelet had actually returned to her hand. It was really a coincidence.

    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Xia Wanyuan was so focused that she didn¡¯t notice the footsteps behind her. She was caught off guard by Jun Shiling hugging and kissing her.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s warm breath blew into her ear, causing the tip of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear to turn red.

    ¡°Why are you back so early?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was not noon yet.

    ¡°I came back after I was done with my tasks. Did Grandpa give you this bracelet?¡± Jun Shiling also saw the bracelet in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Let me put it on for you.¡± Jun Shiling walked from behind the sofa to sit beside Xia Wanyuan. He took the bracelet and put it on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist.

    The watery bracelet matched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fair wrist and was extremely beautiful.

    ¡°How beautiful,¡± Jun Shiling praised as he held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯splicated emotions because of the Falling Phoenix Bracelet calmed down after Jun Shiling¡¯s arrival.

    It was gradually noon, and a few cars arrived in the manor one after another.

 Chapter 428 - uessing Madam Jun

    <h4>Chapter 428: Guessing Madam Jun</h4>

    Because it was a family banquet, only a few especially trustworthy friends were invited. Including the Jun family, there were less than ten people.

    Everyone sat around the table and raised their sses to congratte Old Master Jun on his birthday. Old Master waved his hand happily.

    ¡°It¡¯s a small family banquet today. Everyone who came today are the ones we trust the most. This old man has lived for seventy years. Now, I am truly sessful. Let me introduce everyone. This is my granddaughter-inw. This news is not public yet, but let me introduce her to everyone today.¡±

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan stood up and toasted the elders.

    The elders present were all extremely important people. Everyone understood what Old Master Jun meant and returned a gift bag. This was considered officially acknowledging Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status in the Jun family.

    After dinner, the old master was ying chess with his friends. Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan for a walk in the garden to digest their food.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, do you believe in people¡¯s previous lives?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked.

    Jun Shiling paused and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that someone like Jun Shiling, who believed in materialism, would not believe these words about previous and current lives. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were especially firm? In Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze, Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say next.

    Jun Shiling gripped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly and pushed her hair back. ¡°As long as you say it, I¡¯ll believe you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth to say something. Not far away, Xiao Bao was looking for his parents with a cake.

    Hearing Xiao Bao¡¯s voice, Xia Wanyuan bit her lip. ¡°Let¡¯s go over first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan and did not say anything.

    The family banquet was rxed andfortable. Everyone chatted andughed, and the day passed.

    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t send me off. You guys should rest early too. The banquet tomorrow night is tiring. Ah Ling, adjust yourself well.¡± The old master waved at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    He did not like to hold such a grand birthday celebration, but in his position, sometimes he had to do things he did not want.

    After a lot of publicity by the media, everyone knew about Old Master Jun¡¯s seventieth birthday.

    Suchrge banquets had never been really for food. Many people wanted to use this opportunity to build connections with the Jun Corporation, so many people went to attend the banquet.

    Even some big shot celebrities in the entertainment industry wanted to join in the fun.

    After all, in an environment where capital was everything in the entertainment industry, if one could gain the favor of the Jun Corporation, it could be said that they hadtched onto a golden thigh.

    To the masses in the entertainment industry, it was not important how many rich and powerful people had gone. They did not care how many resources and power were exchanged.

    What they were most concerned about was that on such an important asion like Old Master Jun¡¯s seventieth birthday, Jun Shiling, who was the top ideal husband in the world, should be appearing this time!

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, there were no reports about Madam Jun Shiling. Instead, the little sessor of the Jun family, that cute little dumpling, appeared in Old Master Jun¡¯s arms.

    At this moment, theizens were tempted.

    The rich had an illegitimate child, the mother had been abandoned, lovers had children, and all sorts of guesses appeared.

    There was even an article about Jun Shiling, who was actually incapable and could only use test tubes to nurture infants through technology.

    The various forces in Beijing were also watching. They did not see the mistress of the Jun family appear. The hearts of the socialites in Beijing, who had died, began to grow again.

    A group of socialites:?<i>Madam Jun¡¯s position is too tempting. What¡¯s wrong with being a stepmother? I love being a stepmother.</i>

 Chapter 429 - Master Jun Cant??

    <h4>Chapter 429: Master Jun Can¡¯t??</h4>

    No matter how unwilling Jun Shiling was, he had to go to such a big event.

    Xia Wanyuan was happy to be idle. She drew a painting at home and posted it on Weibo, then went downstairs to watch television.

    It was rare that the professors at Qing University did not look for her today, so she gave herself a break.

    Unexpectedly, just as the television switched on, her phone vibrated. Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw that the beautiful profile picture was shing anxiously.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Hello, sister!! What are you doing??¡± An Rao¡¯s charming voice could be heard through the phone.

    ¡°Watch television.¡± Xia Wanyuan threw a potato chip into her mouth.

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about television? Sister, you said you¡¯ll y games with mest time, but we haven¡¯t done it yet.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a magical ability to make people calm. Even though An Rao was older than Xia Wanyuan, she could act coquettishly in front of Xia Wanyuan without any conflict.

    ¡°Alright, go online.¡± Xia Wanyuan switched off the television and switched on the game.

    The facts had proven that even an immortal could not help this strange person, An Rao.

    Something that could have been resolved in one round had to be yed for more than an hour under the effects of An Rao, the god-like hind leg, to help An Rao ovee the tribtion.

    ¡°Thank you, Sister. You¡¯re too kind. They don¡¯t want to y with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought to herself,?<i>¡®After this round, I won¡¯t be willing to y with you anymore.¡¯</i>

    ¡°Sister, I saw you on Weibo. You¡¯re filming with Yan Ci. How does it feel to film with a handsome man?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it. What can I feel about filming a scene?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and chatted with An Rao.

    ¡°Wow, are you serious? I barely admit that Yan Ci is very handsome, but you actually think that¡¯s all? Could it be that you have someone you like?¡± An Rao asked curiously.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to answer when she suddenly heard the door open behind her. Xiao Bao, who was wearing a custom-made suit, jumped towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mommy!! Kiss!!¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and kissed Xiao Bao on the cheek. Xiao Bao skipped upstairs to take a shower.

    ¡°It ended so quickly?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. He had specially dressed up today and looked better than usual.

    ¡°Mm, there was nothing much to do, so I came back. What are you doing?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her phone. ¡°Talking to a friend.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turn cold instantly, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly added, ¡°Female.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression instantly warmed. ¡°Alright, then you chat with her. I¡¯ll go up and wash up first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    After a while, An Rao¡¯s voice suddenly came from the other end of the line. ¡°F*ck?! Sister, you¡¯re married?! And you have a child? A secret marriage and a child?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very calm.

    ¡°Impressive!¡± In the end, An Rao could only sigh. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that thepany will know to terminate your contract?¡±

    No.¡±

    An Rao only thought that Xia Wanyuan was bold and did not think in other directions.

    An Rao had nevere into contact with female celebrities who had been married and had children. Of course, as the public enemy of women in the entertainment industry, she had nevere into contact with many female celebrities before, so she pestered Xia Wanyuan and asked a bunch of questions.

    ¡°No way?!! The three of you sleep together every night?¡±

    ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°Sister! There¡¯s something wrong!¡±

    Single dogs were probably like this. They clearly did not even have a boyfriend, but when it came to others, they analyzed love and rtionships logically.

    An Rao, who had already ssified Xia Wanyuan as her sister, was very worried about her sister¡¯s naive actions.

    She was so young and beautiful. She had not even begun to enjoy the brilliance of life when she was trapped by a man. She was even married. Furthermore, she had given birth so early and slept with the child every night. This was a huge problem.

    An Rao began to tell Xia Wanyuan all sorts of examples of couples having emotional breakdowns after a child.

    ¡°Sister, let me tell you. Don¡¯t rx. Don¡¯t think that you¡¯ll be stable after giving birth. Furthermore, from the looks of it, your husband is quite rich. Don¡¯t let the mistresses outside take the opportunity to enter.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had treated the house in the west side of the city as a foothold, An Rao guessed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband was probably quite rich.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry at An Rao¡¯s theory. She used the excuse of going to take a shower to end An Rao¡¯s long speech.

    However, it was not easy for An Rao to find a sister who was willing to y games with her. How could she watch her sister live without any vignce?

    Links to emotional speeches were sent to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat one after another.

    Xia Wanyuan went to the bathroom to take a shower and ced her phone on the bedside table. Jun Shiling came out of the shower and was about to pick up the book on the cab.

    He saw a message pop up on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone.

    ¡°Sister, is your husband impotent?¡±

 Chapter 430 - Hes Really Fine

    <h4>Chapter 430: He¡¯s Really Fine</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand paused.

    The messages on her phone kept jumping.

    ¡°I guessed right?!!¡±

    ¡°No wonder your husband didn¡¯t have any thoughts when a lively beauty like you was disyed right in front of him.¡±

    The bathroom door was pushed open and Xia Wanyuan walked out with her hair half wet. Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze moved away from the phone.

    Taking the hairdryer by the side, Jun Shiling walked behind Xia Wanyuan and slowly helped her blow dry her hair.

    Her hair gradually dried. Xia Wanyuan reached for her phone and clicked on An Rao¡¯s link.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling suddenly brushed her hair from behind. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand trembled and poked into a link.

    The explicit words and photos in the link shocked Xia Wanyuan, a real ancient person from more than a thousand years ago. Xia Wanyuan blushed and hurriedly clicked on the fork number on the right.

    However, a pair ofrge hands had already taken the phone away from her.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, return it to me.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and was about to snatch the phone back when Jun Shiling hugged her.

    ¡°108 postures that move a man??¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s maic voice slowly read the titles of the links with a different charm.

    ¡°66 words to capture his heart?¡±

    ¡°Treat your husband¡¯s impotency with one move?¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his voice and wanted to continue reading. Xia Wanyuan pounced over and covered his mouth with her hand. ¡°Someone sent this to me. Stop reading.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. He threw his phone onto the sofa and wrapped his arm around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. He picked her up from the sofa and pressed her against the nket.

    ¡°I¡¯m impotent?¡± Jun Shiling leaned forward, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say it.¡± Xia Wanyuan covered her eyes helplessly.

    ¡°So can I or can I not?¡± When it came to men¡¯s dignity, Master Jun could not escape the clich¨¦ and had to hear it clearly. Jun Shiling moved again. ¡°Speak.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You¡¯re the best, okay? The child ising soon. Get off.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s entire body was scalded red by the heat from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hmph, just you wait.¡± Jun Shiling clenched his fists and leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. He said fiercely, and one could hear the extreme restraint in his voice. ¡°Exin to your friend clearly. You¡¯re not allowed to ruin your husband¡¯s reputation outside.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was anxious and amused.?<i>How am I to exin this?</i>

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan felt that not only did Jun Shiling¡¯s impulse not dissipate, but it also seemed to be increasing. ¡°Let go of me quickly. It¡¯s so hot.¡±

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t let go.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and locked the door, then sent Uncle Wang a message asking him to bring the little divine beast to y with toys for a while.

    Only then did he pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms and kiss her.

    ¡°Help me.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After some time, Xia Wanyuan was about to melt into a puddle in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms before Jun Shiling reluctantly let her go.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not reply to all the WeChat messages she had sent, An Rao was about to call her to ask.

    She received a message from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°He¡¯s fine, really.¡±

    An Rao: Really? I don¡¯t believe it. Sister, don¡¯t pretend to be strong. I understand. If there¡¯s a problem, we can treat it slowly. I know an old Chinese doctor who¡¯s not bad. I heard that he specializes in treating difficult illnesses. I¡¯ll send you his WeChat.

    Xia Wanyuan:¡­

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the dark-faced Jun Shiling in amusement.?<i>I¡¯ve really exined it. You can¡¯t me me for this, right?</i>

    The Ning Yuan Fund appeared out of nowhere and, before anyone noticed, invested arge sum of money on the road to Dongshan.

    How many years had it been since the residents of East Mountain had seen so many outsiders other than traffickers? When they learned that so many people hade to fix their roads and buy their farm products at high prices, some old people secretly wiped their tears.

    After living for so many years, they could finally see what the outside world was like.

    Shen Qian returned to Beijing after his inspection and handed the matter to his trusted aide to supervise the construction. The East Mountain project was progressing smoothly.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes for ¡°Moon As Frost¡± were almost done filming. Over the past few days, she had been practicing for the new song variety program.

 Chapter 431 - Substitute Acting Up

    <h4>Chapter 431: Substitute Acting Up</h4>

    The filming of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was much faster than Director Li Heng had expected. Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were so good that most of the scenes werepleted in one take. In the following time, they had to make up for some of the superficial scenes.

    Xia Wanyuan also had a lot of free time. The teachers at Qing University could clearly feel that Master Yuan Wan had more time recently and kept asking him to help with research.

    Yuan Wanxia was also very skilled. She upied a very important position in several research projects. She even participated in thepiling of the country¡¯s teaching materials and provided literary guidance with the teachers of Qing University.

    At the same time, the ¡°singer¡± on the song variety program hosted by Watermelon tform was also in the midst of intense preparations.

    The singers were recorded one episode at a time. In order to show the singers¡¯ standards fairly, they used drawing lots to decide the content of the performance on the spot.

    Apanied by Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan went to the Watermelon tform to film the publicity film. Then, she met a familiar person.

    Not far away, Lin Xuan and Bai Lian were chatting. When they saw Xia Wanyuan walk over, the same disgust shed across their faces.

    Thest time she had participated in the ¡°I¡¯m a Superstar¡± variety show with Lin Xuan at the same time, because of the shy actions of Star Creation Entertainment, Xia Wanyuan had stopped filming. In the end, Lin Xuan undoubtedly won the championship.

    Lin Xuan didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to participate in the ¡°Singer¡± variety show this time. The scene of Xia Wanyuanposing the song in six minutes was still vivid in her mind. Xia Wanyuan had be Lin Xuan¡¯s number one enemy again.

    ¡°Sister Xuan, you don¡¯t like Xia Wanyuan either?¡± Bai Lian knew what she was thinking the moment she saw her face.

    ¡°Why? Do you have a problem with her?¡±

    ¡°She asked me to kneel before her in public.¡± Thinking of the humiliation in front of Xuan Sheng, Bai Lian hated Xia Wanyuan to the core. However, as if she had thought of something, the corners of Bai Lian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°In the past, she even treated me as her best friend. I know a lot about her.¡±

    Lin Xuan was about to ask again when the recording team called their names. The two of them could only go to the studio to take photos first.

    Soon, the official Weibo ount of the ¡°Singer¡± announced the news that the variety program was about to meet everyone at the beginning of the next month.

    Wan Shi Studio reposted this Weibo post.

    [ I¡¯m crying so loudly. Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re finally taking on a new program. ]

    [ I almost forgot that our Yuan Yuan sings amazing songs too. ]

    [ I¡¯m looking forward to Yuan Yuan¡¯s variety show. Hehe, I can see a new goddess again. Happy. ]

    Fans were very happy that Xia Wanyuan was going to film a new variety program, but some marketing ounts were about to cause trouble.

    The essence of marketing ounts was to gain attention and click numbers.

    Upon seeing that Xia Wanyuan was going to film a variety show, many doubts arose about her filming of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    @ Industry dog: ¡°I specially went to ask the production team¡¯s staff and said that Xia Wanyuan only spent a month to end the filming of ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯. Furthermore, she often took leave during the filming. Do you think ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ will look good?¡±

    The marketing ount even held a vote on Weibo. Most people chose ¡°It won¡¯t look good¡±, except for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans who chose ¡°It will look good¡±.

    When the other marketing ounts saw that this topic was popr, they followed suit. They were all hinting that Xia Wanyuan did not treat acting seriously in order to film a variety show.

    At that moment, the substitute that the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had hired for Xia Wanyuan at the beginning also posted on Weibo.

    ¡°It¡¯s so tiring to meet unprofessional people.¡±

 Chapter 432 - Visiting the Mysterious Master

    <h4>Chapter 432: Visiting the Mysterious Master</h4>

    Initially, the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± considered that Qin Manyue had many fighting scenes, so they found Xia Mo, who had a figure and appearance simr to Xia Wanyuan, as a substitute to film those more difficult scenes.

    In the production team, doubles were given money ording to the filming time. Xia Mo had originally thought that she would earn more froming to the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan wouldplete many filming herself? She did not even need a substitute like her.

    Women¡¯s mentality was easily unbnced. Since they both had the surname Xia, in Xia Mo¡¯s opinion, there was not much difference between her and Xia Wanyuan. In the end, one could be the female lead, and the other could only be a substitute. Furthermore, the female lead did not need a substitute at all, making her stay on the production team for so long in vain.

    On Weibo, Xia Mo was a slightly famous Inte celebrity. She knew how to take photos and photoshop photos. Soon, someone dug out that she was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s substitute in the production team.

    [ My heart aches for our Momo. Rub your head. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is amazing too. No wonder she filmed so quickly. It turns out that there was a substitute fighting desperately behind. ]

    [ I think Momo looks simr to Xia Wanyuan. It¡¯s such a loss for such a good-looking girl to be a substitute for her. If you act as the female lead, I¡¯ll definitely watch it. Forget about Xia Wanyuan acting. ]

    [ You fans are really interesting. You¡¯re using Xia Wanyuan the moment you open your mouth? Also, her mother won¡¯t even recognize her with this photoshopped picture, yet you have the cheek to say that she¡¯s prettier than Xia Wanyuan? Are you crazy? ]

    Xia Mo¡¯s ambiguous Weibo post attracted many fans¡¯ guesses and scolding, but she did not respond at all. She quietly hid behind and watched the Weibo constantly increase in fans.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Is it here?¡± Apanied by Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan arrived at a very old house in the suburbs of Beijing. The stone lion at the door had already be extremely dpidated after being drenched in the wind and rain, but it still had a dignified aura.

    ¡°It¡¯s here. I¡¯ve already checked,¡± Shen Qian said respectfully.

    ¡°Knock.¡±

    Shen Qian knocked on the wooden door. After a long time, footsteps came from inside.

    A young boy looked at the two of them in confusion. ¡°Who are you looking for?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re here to visit Old Master Liu.¡±

    ¡°Thene in. I¡¯ll talk to him first.¡± The little boy opened the door and weed them in.

    The courtyard looked dpidated but was extremely clean. As they walked in, they could see traces of burning porcin everywhere. There were also some extremely beautiful porcin bottles that were discarded.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the living room. Before she could finish a cup of tea, a thin man walked in. ¡°May I know why the two of you are looking for me?¡±

    ]¡±I would like to invite Old Master Liu toe out and be ourpany¡¯s chief consultant for porcin production.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her teacup and looked calmly at this very famous Old Master Liu.

    This youngdy, you¡¯re really funny. I¡¯m just a brick burner in the countryside. How would I understand what you¡¯re saying?¡± Old Master Liu was first stunned before heughed loudly.

    ¡°This is a greeting gift.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Shen Qian ced arge box in front of Old Master Liu.

    Old Master Liu opened it and saw a familiar scroll. He opened it with trembling hands. Therge seal of the Liu family at the bottom made his eyes red.

    ¡°Where did you get these? Weren¡¯t these already¡­¡±

    ¡°Old Master Liu, don¡¯t you want to take back what has been snatched?¡± Xia Wanyuan said again. Looking at Old Master Liu¡¯s wavering expression, she knew that this trip had not been for nothing.

    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Old Master Liu lowered his head and thought for a while. Finally, he looked up with determination in his eyes.

    ¡°I want to build a full industrial chain connected to culture and business. The first batch of products is rted to porcin. I know that your family is well-educated and your standards are extremely high, so I want to hire you as the chief consultant.¡±

    Seeing Old Master Liu hesitate to speak, Xia Wanyuan added, ¡°Whoever snatched it from you, I will help you snatch it back.¡±

    ¡°Okay! I agree.¡± Even though Xia Wanyuan looked young, Old Master Liu felt her calm and imposing aura. He could not tell if he had agreed because he wanted to take revenge or because he was intimidated by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura.

 Chapter 433 - Li Heng Clarifies the Truth

    <h4>Chapter 433: Li Heng rifies the Truth</h4>

    After Old Master Liu¡¯s matter was settled, Xia Wanyuan was thinking about embroidery again. Shen Qian apanied her by the side and suddenly suggested, ¡°CEO Xia, there¡¯s actually a family in Beijing that has thergest embroidery base in the world under their name.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re talking about the Wei family?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the Wei family.¡± The Wei family had started from the south, and thergest textile factory in Jiangnan belonged to them. ¡°However, a big family like the Wei family probably won¡¯t be willing to cooperate with us.¡±

    ¡°Go back and draft the contract. Leave this to me.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Okay.¡± If anyone else said this, Shen Qian might think that she was crazy. After all, their small Xiafeng Group could not go together with the Wei family.

    However, if it was Xia Wanyuan who said this, he felt that there seemed to be nothing that Xia Wanyuan could not do. It was just the Wei family. There was definitely no problem.

    ¡ª¡ª

    If one ignored rumors, they would spread faster and more ridiculously. Soon, the rumors about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unprofessional behavior spread to Li Heng.

    Xia Wanyuan could be said to be the benefactor of Yang Jiu and Li Heng when they were at their wits¡¯ end. How could Li Heng watch Xia Wanyuan make others say that? With his impatient nature, he immediately took photos of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedule and posted them on Weibo. At the same time, he also posted photos of Xia Wanyuan herself.

    Li Heng was furious by thements online targeting Xia Wanyuan. Before he could react, the photos he had taken had already leaked the appearance of the production team, but it was toote to retract them.

    Because manyizens had already discovered his Weibo.

    @ Li Heng: ¡°Xia Wanyuan basically filmed all the scenes in one take. Can¡¯t she act quickly if her acting skills are good? Xia Wanyuan has never used a substitute for ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ before. Shepleted all the fighting scenes herself. There¡¯s no situation where a substitute is tired.¡±

    [ Aiyo, the person who washed the ground is here? How did you know that she passed it once? Do you think you¡¯re the director? ]

    [ The fool in front, he¡¯s really the director. You have to see clearly before you criticize him. ]

    [ Wow, these styles look so beautiful. I suddenly feel that the country drama isn¡¯t that ugly. ]

    In the photos that Li Heng released, there were photos of Xia Wanyuan in a cheongsam, others of her in military uniform, and others of her wrapped in in clothes and climbing the snow mountain in a sorry state.

    He had originally sent the photo to rify things for Xia Wanyuan. Who would have thought that it would attract so much attention? Everyone was very interested in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance and attire.

    The director had already personallye out to refute the rumors. Even though a small number of people were unwilling to believe and felt that Li Heng had said this to protect the reputation of the female lead, most people still had eyes. Seeing the schedule Li Heng had posted, Xia Wanyuan had indeed filmed all the scenes that needed to be filmed.

    Initially, no one was looking forward to ¡°Moon As Frost¡± drama. However, after seeing Director Li Heng¡¯s Weibo, everyone¡¯s interest in ¡°Moon As Frost¡± soared. This was something that the production team had not expected.

    Xia Wanyuan had never cared about thements on her online. She had been practicing for ¡°Singer¡± recently.

    She flipped through the first few episodes and realized that ¡°Singer¡± was really a more professional and fair program.

    The songs that she sang covered all types of songs. When Jun Shiling returned home, he saw Xia Wanyuan humming pop music while reading ancient books.

    ¡°You¡¯re back? I have something to tell you.¡± Hearing footsteps, Xia Wanyuan looked up.

    ¡°Speak.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to Suzhou for a while. The recording of Singer is in Suzhou. I happen to be busy over there too, so I¡¯ll probably be gone for four to five days.¡±

    The smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes disappeared.

    ¡°Four to five days?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sank.

    ¡°Mm, it will take some time to film the program. I still have to stay there for two days to investigate.¡±

    Thergest embroidery workshop in China was in Suhang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Wanyuan wanted to take a look.

    Jun Shiling wanted to say that he would apany her, but he suddenly recalled that he had a delegation meeting the day after tomorrow. He had to attend it and could not decline.

    ¡°When are you leaving?¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan finally realized that there was something wrong with Jun Shiling¡¯s tone. She looked up from the messy book and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s unhappy expression.

    ¡°I¡¯ll only be gone for a few days. Why do you have such an expression?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, with who? Your Brother Wei Zimu?¡± Jun Shiling was a smart person. Hearing that Xia Wanyuan was going to Suhang for an inspection, he quickly thought of the Wei family¡¯s embroidery workshop and silk base.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was rarely silent. This time, Jun Shiling was right.

    Among the younger generation of the Wei family, only Wei Zimu was in charge. Regarding this cooperation, the Old Madam had specially assigned Wei Zimu to be in charge of receiving Xia Wanyuan. Naturally, it was Wei Zimu who apanied Xia Wanyuan to Suhang.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, Jun Shiling knew that he had guessed right. His expression darkened.

    For the entire night, Jun Shiling sulked and did not speak.

    Before sleeping, Xia Wanyuan came out of the shower. Jun Shiling was still reading on the sofa.

    However, the page number was no different from before she entered the bathroom.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s entire body was filled with ¡°Come and coax me. If you don¡¯t coax me, I won¡¯t talk to you.¡± She was amused.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and gently poked Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m a little cold. Can I borrow your arms for a while?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head.

    ¡°Really? I won¡¯t be back for four to five days. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t hug me.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan turned to leave.

    As expected, a force came from her arm and pulled her back.

    ¡°You¡¯re going to anger me to death!¡± Jun Shiling gritted his teeth.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s back and whispered into his ear.

    ¡°Really?!¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes. ¡°You said that.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Can we go to bed now?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to bed!¡± Jun Shiling, who had been cured by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, happily picked her up and walked upstairs to the bedroom.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After eating breakfast with Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling went to thepany first. Chen Yun and Tang Yin came to pick Xia Wanyuan up and bring her to the airport.

    It was rainy season in the south, and the flight had been dyed for a long time. Most people were anxious from waiting.

    In the crowd, only Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in an azure dress and had ink-ck hair, quietly looked at the book in her hand. She had an aura of her own, and even the people beside her seat felt much calmer.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t realize it herself. Unknowingly, she already had some fans. Many people rushed over when they heard that Xia Wanyuan was at the Beijing airport.

    When Xia Wanyuan was not paying attention, many people were taking pictures of her outside the waiting room.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s airport photos were quickly posted online. In the bustling waiting room, Xia Wanyuan quietly bloomed like a lotus, instantly winning the favor of everyone.

    <i>She did not forget to read and charge while waiting for the ne. Not bad. This youngdy can really calm down.?</i>

    In the end, when everyone zoomed in on the picture,

    ?????????????

    <i>There was no need to put on such an act.?</i>

    [How meaningless! Why are you reading ancient literature at the airport? There¡¯s no limit to hyping things up. You¡¯re too pretentious. ]

    [ The person in front, just because you can¡¯t do it doesn¡¯t mean that others can¡¯t either, okay? Go and look through the video of Xia Wanyuan getting full marks for challenging the national television station¡¯s question bank. Thank you. Xia Wanyuan has real skills to begin with. ]

    [ Haha, you even believe the post-production? Look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s college entrance examination results and university. If she¡¯s really that amazing, why didn¡¯t she enter Qing University? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. What are you pretending for? Look at your master¡¯s score. She doesn¡¯t even have the right to carry shoes for Qing University. Now, she¡¯s even pretending to be a person who loves literature. It¡¯s too funny. ]

    Below, there was a group of people who, in order to mock Xia Wanyuan, directly @ Official Qing to get someone to ept Xia Wanyuan.

    In order to get close to his rebellious son¡¯s mentality, Principal Yang had taken the time to surf the Inte and read the news of his son¡¯s goddess, Xia Wanyuan. He was caught off guard by the pile ofments.

    Principal Yang was speechless.?<i>We really can¡¯t ept her. After all, she¡¯s already a professor at Qing University.?</i>

    In the hearts of the Chinese, the entertainment industry¡¯s status waspletely different from those in literature.

    In the past, there had been cases of celebrities in the entertainment industry buying academic qualifications to sell their academic badges. Later on, they were boycotted by the entire Inte and everyone was very disgusted by celebrities selling fake academic badges.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans did not expect that they had originally wanted to use the airport photos to promote their idol, but in the end, they had attracted so much trouble. They felt extremely guilty.

    They hurriedly deleted all sorts of airport photos, but it was toote. The photos had already been circted wantonly.

    After two hours of dy, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flight could finally depart.

    Xia Wanyuan was arranged to be in first ss. Just as she walked to her seat, she saw a pile of pudding cakes on the table beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow slightly. As expected, in the next second, she heard a gentle ¡°Sister Wanyuan¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. Wei Zimu stood tall and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a gentle smile.

    ¡°Did you bring this back from your business trip?¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the pudding.

    The pudding looked extremely cute as they were in the shape of little animals. Like the choctest time, their packaging attracted children the most.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°I saw you at the airport originally. Seeing that your fans were filming you, I didn¡¯t dare to go over.¡±

    The stewardess came over at this moment and reminded everyone that they were about to set off. She fastened her seatbelt.

    Xia Wanyuan sat down and didn¡¯t speak anymore. Wei Zimu also fell silent at the right time.

    ¡°Tell me about the Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said halfway through the flight.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Zimu seemed to like talking to Xia Wanyuan very much and happily exined to her.

    The rest of the time passed under Wei Zimu¡¯s gentle exnation.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Lin Xuan knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength and had always been flustered. She wanted to find a chance to make Xia Wanyuan leave, but she did not think of a way.

    When she was browsing the news today, she had also seen the photos of Xia Wanyuan at the airport and the various mockingments from theizens.

    Thinking of theizens¡¯ zero tolerance for the image of a genius in the entertainment industry, Lin Xuan thought of an excellent way to make Xia Wanyuan ruin her reputation herself.

    <h4>Chapter 435: National Television Variety</h4>

    Just as the ne arrived, Jun Shiling¡¯s message arrived. Xia Wanyuan opened it and took a look, her eyes smiling.

    Sensing the gentleness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Wei Zimu paused slightly, but he did not say anything.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan had fans who came to pick her up and get off the ne, Wei Zimu took the initiative to separate from her.

    ¡°Wow, Yuan Yuan, look here!¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan appeared in the hall, she was surrounded by fans who had been waiting for her.

    ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± Unlike her rtives and friends, this was a pick-up from strangers who liked her. Xia Wanyuan felt that it was very novel and somewhat emotional.

    Xia Wanyuan did not wear sunsses or a mask. The strong impact of her beauty made the fans excited.

    The cameras and phones in everyone¡¯s hands kept shing. ¡°Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡± A fan shouted boldly.

    It made Xia Wanyuanugh softly, and there was a collective gasp beside her.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, have you eaten lunch?¡± A fan mustered her courage and asked Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I ate a little on the ne.¡± Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan, who looked extremely cold, was surprisingly very easygoing. The other fans also boldly chatted with Xia Wanyuan for a while, who replied very patiently.

    When they got into the car, Xia Wanyuan waved at the fans, causing them to scream again.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car disappeared into a dot on the highway before the fans slowly dispersed.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yuan Yuan to be so gentle. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. I¡¯ve always thought of her as an aloof beauty.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. She even chatted with us. That¡¯s so great. She looks so good, but is even better in person than on television.¡±

    ¡°Who anyone who has seen Yuan Yuan in person before stop being her fan?¡±

    As the fans left, they discussed enthusiastically.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Aiyo, Beauty Lin, I¡¯m so grateful to you. Our program was just worried that we wouldn¡¯t be able to find a contestant who would hook up with a young person. This suggestion of yours is good. I¡¯ll reflect to the stationter and examine that Xia Wanyuan. If this matter is done, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We¡¯re ssmates.¡± Lin Xuan smiled. ¡°Then go ahead.¡±

    ¡°Okay, bye.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes shed with ill intentions.

    Her high school ssmate was now a staff member of the national television station. In the past few years, the country had supported the cultural industry greatly. The national television station had done several variety programs for poetry and the effects were not bad.

    This ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± had been prepared by the national television station for a long time. As the program nner, this ssmate had been in charge of findingpetitors.

    There were quite a number of people who signed up, but after screening them, there were not many left. As a variety show, they had to consider letting the audience be interested. The national television station had always considered introducing one or two younger and more famous people to join the variety show. This way, it could stir the interest of the younger generation.

    However, such a person was not easy to find. Lin Xuan knew that her ssmate had been worried about this matter, so she introduced Xia Wanyuan to him.

    The national television station watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance when she passed the national television station question bank with full marks. They decided to give her a chance to interview first. If it worked, they would make her a guest on variety shows.

    The moment the national television station contacted Xia Wanyuan, there was already news on the Inte from marketing ounts.

    @ Duck grandson: ¡°ording to reliable news, Xia Wanyuan is going to attend ¡®Chinese Poetry Meet¡¯.¡±

    [ Really? But your revtions have always been quite urate. ]

    [ ¡®Chinese Poetry Meet¡¯? Xia Wanyuan is a little confident. That¡¯s where immortals fight. ]

    [ I don¡¯t believe it. I¡¯ve never seen a female celebrity in the entertainment industry who¡¯s so amazing. How dare she go up to ¡°China Poetry Meet¡±? ]

    At that moment, most people were still suspicious.

    Soon, other marketing ounts began to release this piece of news. Everyone saw so many revtions and began to be skeptical.

    There were even some rtively simple fans of Xia Wanyuan who had already begun to look forward to her new variety program.

    Meanwhile, her old fans reported every piece of news worriedly.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan had yet to announce the news, but these marketing ounts had moved first. If Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t go, wouldn¡¯t these people make a fuss??</i>

    The inte was abuzz. The forums of the major boards were also active, discussing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s uing ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡±.

    If it were anyone else, they would definitely be at a loss. ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡± was apetition of real ability. If an entertainment celebrity participated in this, they would be doubted even if they won. If they lost, it would be even worse. They would probably be mocked by tens of thousands of people. If they did not participate, the public opinion would have already opened up. Who knew how many people were waiting to make an article?

    Tang Yin also had such worries, so she persuaded Xia Wanyuan from the side that it was better not to attend.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not have such concerns. She was very confident in her standards. She had also seen some programs for ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡±. Those poems and songs were very simple to her.

    ¡°Just tell them that I agreed. I¡¯ll go for the interview when I get back to Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan had always been a very opinionated person. Since Xia Wanyuan said that it was okay, Tang Yin did not persuade her anymore, so she followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and replied to the production team. Both parties agreed on the time and ce for the interview.

    The Watermelon tform was famous for being rich and imposing in the country. Normally, variety shows were recorded at the television station, but the Watermelon Video insisted on choosing outdoor scenes.

    The main theme of the first episode of ¡°Singer¡± was rted to Jiangnan.

    Xia Wanyuan had grown up in the north and lived in the north. She didn¡¯t have much memory of the south. It was the rainy season in the south, and ¡°Singer¡± had taken its appearance in the ancient alley here.

    Men wore long gowns, while women wore cheongsams or long dresses. They held umbres and walked through the rain in groups of two or three. The white walls and ck tiles behind them seemed to have brought people back into history.

    ¡°Alright! Thank you for your hard work, everyone!¡± There were a total of ten people in the first episode of ¡°Singer¡±. After filming everyone¡¯s scenes, the filming team left time for everyone to move freely.

    The rest of the time was freely given to the contestants. Of course, every contestant was equipped with a specialized camera position to record their scenes of life and use them to edit them into the program.

    Lin Xuan wanted to get close to Xia Wanyuan, but as the cameras attacked her one by one, she did not dare to do anything. Although everyone interacted secretly, overall, they were still rtively harmonious.

    Of course, it was not so peaceful when the song was officially recorded.

    The program of I Am a Singer used a draw system. Whichever song they drew, they would have to sing it. This greatly increased the ability requirements and singing skills of the contestants.

    The theme of the first episode of ¡°Singer¡± was ¡°Jiangnan¡±, so all the songs were rted to Jiangnan. The style of this episode was very suitable for Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan.

    The specific recording process was kept secret before the program was broadcasted. The audience who were invited to the scene had signed a confidentiality agreement. Everything regarding the program¡¯s recording could not be leaked.

    However, after the filming ended, when everyone came out of the recording studio, their faces were filled with excitement and intoxication.

    <i>This trip as an audience was too worth it!! I¡¯m so looking forward to the day the program is broadcasted!!?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    After the filming ended, Xia Wanyuan walked into the hotel. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Wei Zimu waiting for her at the door.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. After putting on makeup, waiting for filming, and filming itself, she was really a little tired.

    ¡°This is for you. Someone sent me two boxes. I can¡¯t finish them, so I¡¯ll give you one. Sister Wanyuan, you¡¯ve worked hard. Rest well. I¡¯ll bring you to the Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop tomorrow.¡± Wei Zimu handed a beautifully wrapped box to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go and rest first.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan entered and opened the door. There were fragrant pastries in the box. Xia Wanyuan had heard from someone whom she had filmed together with that Suhang¡¯s famous pastries were said to be limited in supply and difficult to queue up for.

    Xia Wanyuan habitually put the box aside. She did not eat things that were given to her by others.

    What she did not know was that every snack Wei Zimu gave her was specially bought by himself personally.

    This box of pastries thaty in the corner and was not eaten by anybody, was bought by Wei Zimu who stood in the rain with an umbre for three hours before buying it.

    The rain continued for another day. Xia Wanyuan took a shower,y down on the warm nket, and fell asleep. During the filming process, her phone had been switched to silent mode, so Xia Wanyuan did not hear the phone call and slept soundly.

    ¡°Daddy, I miss Mommy.¡± In the manor, Xiao Bao leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and looked at him pitifully, his eyes filled with obvious longing.

    ¡°Mm, your mother is probably busy. Go to bed and call her tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling patted the little dumpling¡¯s head.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently and crawled into the nket, sticking close to Jun Shiling. Not long after, he fell asleep.

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling, who had said that he would call tomorrow, could not sleep. He put his phone aside and took the book Xia Wanyuan had left by the bed to read.

    Xia Wanyuan had a good sleep. When she woke up from her hunger, she opened her eyes and saw that the sky was already dark. The rain had not stopped, and rows of raindrops fell from the window.

    Xia Wanyuan took the phone and looked. It was already 1: 30 in the morning.

    The two missed calls were from Jun Shiling.

    There was also a WeChat message that was sent at ten o¡¯clock in the evening. ¡°Call me when you wake up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had a feeling that Jun Shiling might have been waiting for her, so she sent a message tentatively. ¡°Are you asleep?¡±

    As expected, the phone rang the next second.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button and Jun Shiling¡¯s tired face appeared on the screen.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I fell asleep when I got back.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s been hard filming.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan gently.?<i>It had only been two days since west met, why did it seem like a long time?</i>

    ¡°Go to bed quickly. It¡¯ste and you have to work tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up on the bed, revealing her fair skin.

    ¡°Look at it for a while more.¡± Jun Shiling stared at Xia Wanyuan as if he could not get enough of her.

    ¡°Go and sleep.¡± Only when Xia Wanyuan was embarrassed from his stare did she urge him.

    ¡°Okay, I got the hotel to prepare dinner for you. It¡¯ll be served up in a while. You can continue to rest after dinner.¡± When Xia Wanyuan replied to Jun Shiling, Jun Shiling had already given the orders to his subordinates. Now, the hotel was working at full speed to prepare supper for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling went to wash up. When he returned, he saw Xia Wanyuan send him a cute emoticon. The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    With the help of the omnipotent Special Assistant Lin, who had an annual sry of ten million dors, he finally learned how to send emoticons. Jun Shiling, who was not an old antique, replied with an emoticon of touching the cat¡¯s head.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was taking a bite of the dumpling, almost choked when she saw the emoticon Jun Shiling had sent back.

    <i>Cough, cough, cough. This person is quite modern.</i>

    Knowing that Jun Shiling would definitely reply after she replied, Xia Wanyuan stopped sending. She sat by the window and finished her supper, then sorted out all the problems her colleagues had.

    The few days she had been in Jiangnan were different from the magnificence of the north. The gentleness of the river countryside in Jiangnan had given Xia Wanyuan a lot of inspiration. She listened to the pattering rain outside the window and even drew two illustrations to post on Weibo and foreign ounts.

    After a busy night, the sky slowly lit up.

    After breakfast, Wei Zimu waited at the door punctually. He still had the familiar warm smile, but Xia Wanyuan felt that he gave off a different feeling.. Although she could not tell what was different.

 Chapter 438 - Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop

    <h4>Chapter 438: Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop</h4>

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan,¡± Wei Zimu called out gently.

    Xia Wanyuan did not show it on her face, but the difort in her heart grew.

    ¡°Morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop isn¡¯t far from here. Sister Wanyuan, do you want to take a car or walk over?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked outside the building. The rain was not heavy, and it was pitter-patter, carrying the humidity of Jiangnan. ¡°Let¡¯s walk over.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Zimu smiled and handed the umbre to Xia Wanyuan.

    The two of them walked into the rain side by side. ¡°Was the pastry yesterday delicious? I queued for a long time before I bought it. ording to them, it should be very delicious.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t eat it. I don¡¯t like that.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high heels clicked on the limestone road.

    Wei Zimu was not angry at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direct words and chuckled.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around when she heard Wei Zimu smiling.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing an azure dress with embroidery. It blended with the hazy rain and had a different gracefulness.

    Her eyes, which were always filled with ice and snow, seemed to be covered in ayer of faint mist from Jiangnan. They were like green mountains after the rain, exuding an empty spiritual aura.

    Wei Zimu was stunned for a moment. At this moment, someone suddenly rode a bicycle and passed through quickly. Wei Zimu subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Xia Wanyuan. Stained mud sshed by his pants.

    Wei Zimu looked down at the mud on his leg and a hint of hostility shed across his eyes. When he looked up again, he was smiling warmly.

    ¡°Let them bring you over first. There¡¯s someone waiting for you there. I¡¯ll go and change my clothes first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Under the guidance of others, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the embroidery workshop. The embroidery workshop had already existed since the end of the world and had been passed down until now. It had a deep foundation.

    Wei Zimu did note. Seeing that there was only a youngdy, the person in charge of the embroidery workshop was clearly a little arrogant.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. Young Master Wei asked me to bring you in for a walk.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was led in by the in-charge. This was a high-end embroidery base in the world. In the workshop inside, there were nimble embroiderydies sitting.

    Various colors of fabric and threads decorated the ce beautifully.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°Other than these, is there anything else?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, these are already the most outstanding embroiderydies in our embroidery workshop. Which more do you want to see? Super masters usually don¡¯t show their faces.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the embroiderydies who were working diligently in the embroidery workshop. The things made here were good, but they emphasized too much on high-end quality.

    Such a high-end item was not suitable for ordinary people. Not many people in China could afford such an exquisite item.

    ¡°Do you have anything else to see?¡± The in-charge was a little unhappy.?<i>Our Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop was the top embroidery workshop in China. Why didn¡¯t I see any surprise in Miss Xia¡¯s eyes? Instead, she looked very dissatisfied.</i>

    ¡°No, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that there was nothing to see here and wanted to go out and take a look. It was said that there were countless embroidery workshops in this area, but they were much smaller than the Jiangnan embroidery workshop. Xia Wanyuan felt that she might be able to find what she wanted.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly walked along the ancient alley when two young girls suddenly walked past her. The bag in their hands attracted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attention.

    Xia Wanyuan went forward to ask.

    ¡°This bag? I bought it at the Jin Xiu shop on South Street. They have many of these bags.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked in the direction they pointed.

    The two young girls looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back and were a little confused.

    ¡°Look at the bag she¡¯s carrying. It¡¯s the L family¡¯stest bag. It¡¯s so beautiful. It¡¯s probably more than a hundred thousand dors.¡±

    ¡°She does look pretty. She¡¯s already carrying such a good bag. Why did she ask us about Jin Xiu Shop? The things there are not pretty.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. Perhaps the rich are bored.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan followed the route the twodies pointed to and arrived at the shop they had mentioned.

    This ce was indeed simr to what she had imagined. The things inside were much cheaper than the Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop. It could be said to be very affordable, but it looked a little old and could not be separated from those old styles.

    She went in to take a look at the embroidery workers who were doing all sorts of things. Before the employees in the shop coulde up and greet her, Xia Wanyuan already had an idea. She went straight out the door and called Shen Qian.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After a long day of meetings, it was almost midnight when he got home. Xiao Bao was already sound asleep.

    Jun Shiling pulled off his tie and was about to take a shower when his phone rang. Xia Wanyuan had sent him a dazed expression.

    Jun Shiling looked at the cat and could not help but think of Xia Wanyuan staring nkly in front of him. The corners of his lips curled up as he sent Lin Jing a message.

    ¡°Arrange a flight for tomorrow morning. I¡¯m going to Suzhou.¡±

    After Lin Jing confirmed that he had received it, Jun Shiling called Xia Wanyuan.

    The next morning, Lin Jing picked Jun Shiling up and went to the airport. Shen Qian also brought the first batch of porcin samples that had been burned ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request and boarded the ne to Suhang.

 Chapter 439 - Beautiful Figure in the Rain

    <h4>Chapter 439: Beautiful Figure in the Rain</h4>

    When Jun Shiling arrived at the airport, he had yet to see Xia Wanyuan when the person in charge of Jiangnan learned of the news. He waited at the airport to invite him away. Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan a message and went to settle his work first.

    The moment Shen Qiannded, he brought the things to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hotel.

    ¡°CEO Xia, I happened toe over and brought the first batch of samples. Take a look.¡± Shen Qian opened the box on the table. Two green cups were lying in the soft box. The cups were printed with a few green bamboos that Xia Wanyuan had drawn.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out for the kettle and poured some water in. The rising steam in the bamboo forest was like fog that curled around the early morning bamboo forest, making it very beautiful. Xia Wanyuan nodded in satisfaction.

    ¡°Old Master Liu¡¯s standards are still very high. Let¡¯s do it like this.¡±

    ¡°Okay, CEO Xia, what else do you need me to do?¡± Shen Qian knew that Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t let hime specially for this batch of sses.

    ¡°There¡¯s a Jin Xiu shop here. Go and buy it. One shouldn¡¯t be enough. ording to their standards, we want about ten embroidery workshops.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Qian was very convinced of Xia Wanyuan now.

    Shen Qian put down the things and brought the people from the Jiangnan branch to discuss the acquisition. Xia Wanyuan looked at her phone. There was a message from Jun Shiling.

    The rain in Jiangnan did not stop soon like in the north. The rain here was continuous and seemed to never stop.

    Xia Wanyuan checked the address Jun Shiling had sent her. It was not far, so she walked over with an umbre and admired the scenery of the ancient town.

    After turning a corner, Xia Wanyuan was suddenly attracted by a very elegant shop.

    This shop specialized in a retro style. The long dresses attracted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attention.

    As the price was very high, very few people came to this shop usually. When the salesperson saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes, she knew that a big customer had arrived and hurriedly weed her in.

    ]¡±The clothes here are all specially custom-made from the Jiangnan embroidery workshop. Every piece is a unique design. Look, which one do you like?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced around and pointed at a light green dress hanging on the innermost part.

    The salesperson¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°This Rui Cao Yun Yan, Twin Silk Garment is the treasure of our shop. You have good taste. I¡¯ll get it for you immediately!¡±

    In the huge fitting room, the shop assistant helped Xia Wanyuan put on her clothes.

    ¡°Let me help you tie your hair into a simple bun. The effect will be better.¡± The salesperson took a jade hairpin from the front desk and simply tied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair up.

    ¡°You¡¯re really too beautiful.¡± After fixing her hair and changing her clothes, the salesperson, who had seen many beauties, was stunned.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at herself in the mirror. ¡°I¡¯ll get this one.¡±

    ¡°Okay! The clothes in our shop will be cleaned every day. You can wear them and leave.¡± The sales assistant opened the ticket happily. After this job, she would have half a year of sales.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the white walls and green tiles outside. ¡°I¡¯ll wear it and leave.¡±

    ¡°Okay, this jade hairpin is a gift for you.¡± The staff enthusiastically packed the things for Xia Wanyuan and respectfully sent her to the door.

    The town was originally an ancient town. Normally, there were many people who wore ancient clothes to take photos. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a long dress, so no one was surprised. However, the way she held an umbre and walked in the rain in a long dress was truly moving.

    She was looking at the scenery while others were looking at her. Many people who were photographing the scenery here captured her with the camera.

 Chapter 440 - The Princess Takes the Initiative ~~

    <h4>Chapter 440: The Princess Takes the Initiative ~~</h4>

    As she looked at the surrounding scenery, she unknowingly walked to the ce Jun Shiling had given her.

    This was an extremely simple and exquisite small courtyard. The que on the door had the words ¡°Xi Garden¡± written on it.

    The servant who had long received the notice had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw a beautiful figure slowly walk over, she hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°Excuse me, are you Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Hello, Madam. Young Master has already instructed us to bring you in first.¡±

    With that, the servant took the things from Xia Wanyuan and brought her in. The courtyard was muchrger than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. There were pavilions, mountains andkes. Birds and cranes flew everywhere.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take a walk myself. You don¡¯t have to follow me.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to take a look herself.

    ¡°Okay, Madam, you can call us if you have any questions.¡±

    After the servant left, Xia Wanyuan walked around the courtyard herself. It was midsummer, and the lotus flowers were blooming. The lotus flowers that filled theke, coupled with the pavilions and that were decorated with carvings, reminded Xia Wanyuan of the princess pce in her youth.

    However, the Great Xia Dynasty was not so gloomy and rainy. The Great Xia Dynasty was always sunny.

    When she was young, she loved to y and throw tantrums. There was once when she secretly took a wooden basin to wash her face and threw it into the lotus pond. Then, she sat in the wooden basin and supported herself with the lotus leaf pole to pluck the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

    The maidservants in the pce could not find her and were almost frightened to death. Even her parents, who were in the midst of a meeting, were rmed. The entire pce was mobilized to look for her, but they could not find her for a long time.

    In the end, her royal grandfather, who knew her the best, got the guards to go down the lotus pond. In the middle of theke, he found her, who was lost and crying.

    Her father was extremely angry and wanted to beat her up to teach her a lesson. However, he was shouted back by her grandfather.

    ¡°If you dare to hit my precious granddaughter, I¡¯ll hit you!!¡±

    In the end, her father left in a huff, unable to hit her.

    As she was frightened, the little princess cried pitifully. In the end, her mother slept with her for more than half a month. Only when the Buddha statue, which her father had found someone to bless from the western regions, was ced beside her bed did she gradually calm down.

    Meanwhile, her father, who had been moring to beat her up and teach her a lesson, wanted to send all the treasures in the world to her to make her happy when he saw her frown.

    Perhaps it was because the continuous gloomy rain easily evoked emotional emotions, but even Xia Wanyuan did not know that theughter of her youth was actually so deeply imprinted in her mind. It was so deep that when she thought of it now, although it was a lifetime ago, it could not hide the bitterness in her heart.

    Jun Shiling quickly settled his matters and rushed to Xi Garden. From afar, he saw a light green mist in the pavilion. Although her back was facing him, Jun Shiling felt a strong sense of sadness.

    Furthermore, he felt that something was wrong with Xia Wanyuan. He didn¡¯t know if it was because of her ancient costume or the hazy rain, but it made Jun Shiling have the illusion that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t belong to this world.

    Jun Shiling strode into the pavilion. Xia Wanyuan seemed to be immersed in her own world and did not notice him.

    Jun Shiling walked to Xia Wanyuan and saw that her eyes were red and filled with tears. Jun Shiling suddenly clenched his fists, feeling as if a huge rock had smashed into his heart, causing it to hurt.

    It was only then that Xia Wanyuan realized Jun Shiling was around. She looked up at him, and the vulnerability in her eyes broke Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    Jun Shiling took off his suit jacket and covered Xia Wanyuan with it. The pine fragrance immediately surrounded her with warmth. Those memories from the previous life gradually fell into the depths of her mind in this warmth.

    Jun Shiling did not ask much and picked her up by the waist. ¡°You must have waited long. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± His voice was extremely gentle.

    Xia Wanyuan found a warm position in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and leaned against it, letting him carry her through the corridors.

    The servants not far away widened their eyes when they saw this scene. They really could not tell that Master Jun, who usually did not look friendly, was actually so good to Madam.

    When they arrived at the dining room, Jun Shiling did not put Xia Wanyuan down. Instead, he fed her spoon by spoon.

    ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not in a good mood and could not eat much. After half a bowl, she felt full.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling did not force her to eat anymore. He took the bowl and quickly ate a bowl of rice himself.

    ¡°I want to take a walk.¡± After dinner, Xia Wanyuan got out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and wanted to take a walk.

    ¡°Do you want me to apany you?¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to stay alone for a while.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan still returned to the ce she had just sat. She looked at the lotus flowers in the pool, thinking about something. Jun Shiling stood by the window and looked at that figure with a cold expression.

    After an unknown period of time, the moon slowly climbed up the treetops. Only then did Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sculpture-like figure move. When she turned her head, she saw a figure standing by the window under the melting light in the distance.

    Ayer of warmth appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes as she walked into the house.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    By the time Xia Wanyuan took a shower, it was already an hour and a halfter. Jun Shiling had already washed up and was leaning against the bedhead reading the book Xia Wanyuan had annotated.

    The door was opened and then locked. Hearing a click, Jun Shiling looked up and saw that the book in his hand had a crease.

    In the shop, where Xia Wanyuan had bought a dress in the day, the shop owner had not only given her a jade hairpin, but also a set of silk pajamas. The thinyer of silk could only roughly cover it, making it look hazy and mysterious.

    The orchids on her dress were as white as snow, but they could notpare to the jade-white skin under the silk veil.

    Xia Wanyuan walked towards Jun Shiling barefooted.

    When Xia Wanyuan was nervous, she had the habit of biting her lower lip. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan, who was walking over step by step, was biting her lower lip. Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing instantly became heavy.

    Jun Shiling ced the book in his hand on the cab by the side, but he did not move. He only looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the bed and lowered her head to lift Jun Shiling¡¯s nket, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

    ¡°Your ce is inside.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was terrifyingly low with an obvious hoarseness.

    From where Jun Shiling was holding her, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be heated up. Her entire body was covered in a faint pink color.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling. Her eyes, which were usually covered in ice and snow, were now bright and a little embarrassed.

    Xia Wanyuan moved her wrist and insisted on lifting Jun Shiling¡¯s nket. Then, shey in his arms and hugged his waist. Jun Shiling suddenly froze.

    ¡°Are you ready?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s suppressed voice sounded above her head.

    Xia Wanyuan hugged him tighter. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling could not take it anymore.

    <h4>Chapter 441: Master Jun¡¯s Wish Came True!!!</h4>

    Jun Shiling did not move but looked at Xia Wanyuan extremely seriously for a while. Meeting Jun Shiling¡¯s burning eyes, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up into a smile.

    This smile broke all of Jun Shiling¡¯s self-control. The cold smell of pine filled the air as it smashed down on Xia Wanyuan.

    After a long time, Jun Shiling held on and did not move. Veins appeared on his arms and his forehead was covered in sweat. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes to look at him, her eyes watery.

    There was a strong love in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. This love made everything in her previous life float, and the sadness and bitterness became part of another life. Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and interlocked their fingers. ¡°I love you.¡±

    ¡°I love you too.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling fell silent.

    Xia Wanyuan felt like she was a small boat. In the endless sea, she faced huge waves. At one moment, she was thrown high by the huge waves, and at the next, she was smashed by the huge waves.

    However, the pine fragrance that surrounded her had always protected her in her arms, without rxing at all.

    After some time, Xia Wanyuan felt that the small boat was about to scatter into ruins.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was filled with tears.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know that Jun Shiling liked her sobbing tone the most.

    Sensing that the heat there had increased again, Xia Wanyuan could not help but hit Jun Shiling. ¡°No, get out.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fist. ¡°This is thest time, okay?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re lying! You said it was thest time just now!¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to struggle, but it only aroused Jun Shiling¡¯s passion.

    The huge wave attacked again. Jun Shiling was an extremely strong person to begin with. Normally, his extremely gentle side was given to Xia Wanyuan. Now, in this situation, he disyed all his aura.

    In a daze, Xia Wanyuan looked up at the window. The sky was beginning to brighten.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, why are you still-?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that she was about to melt.

    ¡°Can this be thest time?¡± Jun Shiling tasted the ultimate delicacy and did not want to leave her for even a second.

    ¡°Out.¡± Xia Wanyuan used all her strength to say the only violent thing she had said in her two lifetimes.

    Jun Shiling was amused by the scolding and hugged her reluctantly. ¡°Alright, then sleep for a while. I¡¯ll clean you up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was tired and sleepy, so she fell asleep very quickly. Jun Shiling carefully cleaned her up and changed the clean nket before letting her in contentedly.

    Jun Shiling could not sleep at all. Hey there quietly and recalled every moment since he had met Xia Wanyuan. Unknowingly, he had looked at Xia Wanyuan for the entire night.

    Shen Qian had never let down Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trust. This time, he stillpleted the mission sessfully. He first discussed the acquisition n with Jin Xiu Workshop and then followed the vine of Jin Xiu Workshop to find other embroidery workshops with overly high quality.

    In just two days, the acquisition contract for the ten embroidery workshops had been signed. Shen Qian called Xia Wanyuan a few times but no one picked up. He could only send the electronic version of the contract to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone.

    Wei Zimu had once gone to the hotel to look for Xia Wanyuan, but the hotel staff told him that Xia Wanyuan had not returned for the entire night, so Wei Zimu could only return to his residence.

    ¡°Brother, she¡¯s just a woman. If you like her, I¡¯ll help you catch her.¡±

    Wei Zimu had just entered the room when he saw someone sitting on the sofa.

    All the lights in the room were switched on, just like how this person used to. No matter where she went, the lights were lit, and no darkness was allowed.

    However, this person¡¯s existence was clearly the greatest darkness.

    The handsome side profile turned around. It was a very gentle arc and he looked schrly. That smiling face was one that he was extremely familiar with. It was a face that he could see in the mirror every day.

    ¡°I¡¯ve warned you many times. Don¡¯t touch her.¡± Wei Zimu was usually very gentle, but facing this younger brother of his, who had the deepest rtionship with his bloodline, his gentle eyes were filled with disgust.

    ¡°Ha.¡± The person on the sofa smiled disdainfully as if he had seen a joke. ¡°Brother, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? My people have searched for so long but haven¡¯t found her address. Brother, do you really think that woman is so simple?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. I¡¯ll continue with the Wei family¡¯s matters. Try touching her if you dare.¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s voice turned cold as he looked straight into the eyes of the person in the room. The two pairs of eyes that were almost identical had different temperaments.

    A few secondster, Wei Zimu took a few steps back and closed the door forcefully. He did not want to enter the ce where this person had stayed before.

    The door was knocked loudly. ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t touch her just because you told me not to? I¡¯m going to touch her anyway.¡± The person in the room chuckled. ¡°Xia Wanyuan? Her eyes are quite pretty.¡±

    A pair of icy eyes covered in smoke appeared in his mind. The corners of the person in the house curled up.

    It was clearly an extremely gentle face, but when he smiled, there was no warmth in his eyes. Instead, it made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Xia Wanyuan slept especially long. She did not wake up until the next afternoon.

    Hence, she did not know that the set of photos taken by a photographer when she had walked in the rain alley was posted online. It had already exploded.

    <h4>Chapter 442: Entire Inte Looking for a Model in the Rain</h4>

    The sunlight outside the window slowly swam. In the blink of an eye, it was already five o¡¯clock the next day. It was almost night time.

    Even though Jun Shiling had not slept the entire night, he was still very energetic. He got up, washed up, ate some food, and when he came back to take a look, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were still closed.

    The air in the house was a little stuffy. Jun Shiling opened the window and the wind outside blew across the pond, bringing some moisture in.

    The faint fragrance of the lotus flowers wafted to her nose. Xia Wanyuan finally opened her eyes.

    She wanted to get up as usual, but the slightest movement caused her entire body to ache as if it had been torn apart and reassembled. Xia Wanyuan gasped.

    Hearing movement, Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out to help her. Xia Wanyuan nced at him warily and shrank back. ¡°Don¡¯te over.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand paused in midair, not knowing whether tough or cry. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t do anything.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. That¡¯s what you saidst night.¡± Didn¡¯t you say it was thest time, and thest time again,st night? In the end, it didn¡¯t stop until morning. (italics)

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan mentionst night, Jun Shiling recalled the feeling of having his bones corroded again. His eyes immediately darkened. However, seeing Xia Wanyuan frown, Jun Shiling suppressed the impulse in his heart and stepped forward to grab Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I promise I won¡¯t do anything. Let me see how you¡¯re doing.¡± Jun Shiling lifted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes. Arge red mark and bruise entered his eyes.

    ¡°How could this be?¡± Heartache surged in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, and he felt extremely guilty.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted. ¡°How dare you say that?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll apply some medicine for you.¡± Jun Shiling carried her out heartbrokenly, took the ointment by the side, and carefully applied the medicine for her.

    Xia Wanyuan was originally angry because Jun Shiling would not let her go no matter how much she begged himst night.

    However, under Jun Shiling¡¯s extremely cherished actions, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anger gradually subsided.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach hurt.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to send it in.¡±

    Soon, the servant brought in tes of food. Xia Wanyuan sat on hisp. With so many peopleing in, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and shrank into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms in embarrassment.

    Jun Shiling was pleased by this cat¡¯s coquettish actions. His heart melted as he reached for the bowl and chopsticks and fed Xia Wanyuan bit by bit.

    After the meal, Xia Wanyuanzily did not want to move. She directly used Jun Shiling as a chair, a chair that could move around.

    ¡°I want to go out and see the lotus flowers.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed outside.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling carried her into the pavilion and stopped working. He sat specially with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was very tired and chatted in a non-sequential manner with Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling was not angry and apanied her patiently.

    The setting sun shone a warm yellow light on the two people sitting together in the pavilion. Theke was sparkling and the lotus flowers were leisurely emitting a dark fragrance.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Suhang Ancient Town had always been the ce where every photographer loved. Among the people who filmed Xia Wanyuan walking in the rain that day, there was a photographer from ¡°China Geography¡±.

    ¡°China Geography¡± was the most popr geographic humannguage magazine in China. This geographic magazine was opened by the Chinese relevant department. The photos taken usually were of high quality, so there were many fans.

    Recently, the country was working on an international publicity film for ¡°Beautiful China¡±. ¡°China Geography¡± often released some photos for selection to seek the opinions of theizens.

    That day, the Chinese Geographic Journal published a set of photos called ¡°Jiangnan in the Rain¡±.

    In the photo, there were green tiles, white walls, and a drizzle. On the long limestone road, a woman in green was holding a bamboo umbre. Under the umbre, a fair chin was revealed. Her hair was tied up, revealing a jade-like goose neck.

    Her appearance could not be seen clearly in the haze, but the elegant aura that enshrouded her made one enter the ancient town from a thousand years ago.

    It also reminded one of the ¡°lc-like girl¡± that the romantic Dai Wangshu had caught a glimpse of in the rainy alley a century ago.

    More and moreizens reposted it. This photo was immediately trending. Countless people asked under thements who this model was.

    However, ¡°China Geography¡±, who was asked, did not know. Because the photographer had casually taken a photo by the roadside, the photographer did not see this person¡¯s face.

    The Chinese people were familiar with that ¡°Rain Alley¡±. The girl who had raindrops and fragrance like a lc had appeared in the book countless times.

    And now, this picture seemed to let people see the lc-like girl walk out of the book into the drizzle.

    The entire Inte began to search for ¡°Lc Lady¡±.

 Chapter 443 - You Look Good

    <h4>Chapter 443: You Look Good</h4>

    It was not easy to find the ¡°Lc Lady¡± in the rain. After all, there were many peopleing and going in Suhang Ancient Town every day. There was no human face in this photo, only a fair chin.

    In the fan group of a certain Xia Wanyuan named ¡°Little Dumpling¡±, someone saw this photo and shared it in the group. He carefully said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think this photo looks a little like our Yuan Yuan?¡±

    The other fans opened the photos and took a look. ¡°Yes, they really look alike.¡±

    Fans had always been extremely familiar with their idol. Even with a nce or a small movement, they could recognize their idol in the crowd.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s temperament was very unique. When the fans saw her elegant temperament, they felt that she was their idol, Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Shh, don¡¯t go out and spout nonsense. If it¡¯s not, we¡¯re going to make things difficult for Yuan Yuan again. Squat down and take a proper look before admitting.¡±

    After thest time they had wanted to post an airport photo to help promote Xia Wanyuan, they had caused Xia Wanyuan to be scolded for reading books as an act. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans had learned their lesson and were no longer so rash.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After sitting in the garden for a long time and eating dinner, Xia Wanyuan finally recovered and began to read the contract Shen Qian had sent her. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she called Shen Qian and arranged the rest.

    ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. There¡¯s a lot to do.¡±

    ¡°CEO Xia, you must be joking. If not for you, I would still be in prison.¡± Xia Wanyuan had provided him with such a wide tform. Shen Qian respected Xia Wanyuan very much from the bottom of his heart.

    Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Jun Shiling, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at her quietly. ¡°You¡¯re finally hanging up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Why are you so jealous about work?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly and stepped forward to hug Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan looked at the darkening sky and subconsciously shrank back. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling picked her up helplessly. ¡°Sleep. I promise I won¡¯t do anything. I haven¡¯t slept in two days. I¡¯m sleepy. Let¡¯s set off to Beijing tomorrow.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s repeated st time¡±st night made Xia Wanyuan very suspicious of his words.

    However, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart did ache for Xia Wanyuan. He hugged her and did nothing, feeling warm inside. Xia Wanyuan had wanted to keep a distance from Jun Shiling in case he came again.

    However, the habit she had developed for a long time made her notst three minutes before she subconsciously hugged Jun Shiling back.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. His arms were full, and his heart was filled. He tightened his arms and hugged her tighter. He lowered his head and kissed her hair.

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Good night.¡±

    It was a good night¡¯s sleep.

    Xia Wanyuan had slept especially long these two days. Originally, they nned to go back in the morning, but as Xia Wanyuan did not wake up, they changed it to the afternoon.

    Near noon, Xia Wanyuan finally opened her eyes. A pair of deep eyes was looking at her.

    Her body still hurt a little, and she felt sore every time she moved. Xia Wanyuan punched Jun Shiling angrily.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had hit him the moment she woke up, Jun Shiling grabbed her hand inexplicably.

    ¡°When did you wake up?¡±

    ¡°Seven o¡¯clock.¡± Jun Shiling had slept very regrly for many years.

    ¡°Then why are you lying here?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll lie down and look at you.¡± A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, and he added, ¡°You look good.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 444: Bai Lian is Lc Lady?</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heated up. ¡°Get up and eat. I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m hungry too.¡± Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, he retracted his long arm, and the cold pine fragrance opened Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth, plundering inside.

    After a while, Jun Shiling moved away. His heavy breathing sprayed into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Without needing Xia Wanyuan to say anything, Jun Shiling had already lifted the nket and started to put on his clothes. If this continued, he would not be able to resist.

    God knew how wonderful Xia Wanyuan¡¯s taste was.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to get out of bed, but Jun Shiling, who was dressed, walked over with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes. ¡°Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    Women¡¯s clothes had very troublesome designs, so Jun Shiling was a little slow. He helped Xia Wanyuan put them on one by one, then took the shoes by the side and squatted on the ground to help her put them on.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and watched Jun Shiling put on her shoes seriously. Her gaze changed, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

    Jun Shiling really used all his gentleness and patience on Xia Wanyuan. He helped her brush her teeth, wash her face, and eat. He did everything personally.

    Xia Wanyuan was not a delicate person, but she felt that if Jun Shiling indulged her like this, she would really be a person who ¡°just opened her mouth to eat and stretched out her hands for clothes¡±.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have hands.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. Seeing that Jun Shiling still wanted to carry her out the door, Xia Wanyuan rejected him sternly.

    ¡°I can¡¯t help it.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze lingered on Xia Wanyuan.

    Perhaps when one loved someone, they could not help but want to be good to her. They wanted to pile all the good things in the world in front of her.

    Other than in bed, Jun Shiling always kept his word.

    He said to let Xia Wanyuan rest well and recuperate well. asionally, he would not resist kissing her, but other times, he was very well-behaved.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had just returned to the manor when Tang Yin called to ask Xia Wanyuan about the photo in Suhang Ancient Town. The temperament on Xia Wanyuan was too obvious. Someone close to her would know it was her at a nce.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the photo. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. I don¡¯t know when I was taken.¡±

    Tang Yin had yet to tell the public rtions team that they would use this ¡°Lc Lady¡± as an opportunity to promote Xia Wanyuan.

    The Inte had already exploded.

    Because ¡°Lc Lady¡± had been found.

    The dress that the woman in the picture was wearing was clearly from the Jiangnan embroidery workshop. It was exquisite and gorgeous. Someone followed the clues and found the shop that sold this dress.

    ording to the salesperson, this dress was bought by a celebrity who hade to Suzhou to film a variety show.

    The range had shrunk greatly.

    Everyone was about to find who had recorded the program in Suhang that day when Bai Lian¡¯s studio posted a Weibo post.

    Without a word, this Weibo post posted nine photos.

    With Jiangnan Misty Rain as the background, Bai Lian was wearing the embroidered dress in the picture posted by ¡°China Geography¡±. She was holding an umbre, either leaning on the bridge or walking on the limestone street.

    Ever since Bai Lian debuted, she had been called Cuddlie because she had a pitiful temperament.

    In this set of photos, Bai Lian¡¯s pitiful temperament matched the misty storm in Jiangnan. She had a very mncholic temperament.

    Bai Lian happened to be involved in the recording of ¡°Singer¡±, and her schedule was in Suhang Ancient Town.

    At this point, everyone was almost certain that Bai Lian was the ¡°Lc Lady¡± who was popr all over the Inte and had been captured by ¡°China Geography¡±.

 Chapter 445 - The Truth Was Exposed Abroad

    <h4>Chapter 445: The Truth Was Exposed Abroad</h4>

    Bai Lian was originally a female celebrity who was between the A-list and B-list rankings. After epting the second female lead of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±, because of therge production team, many people had suspected that Bai Lian¡¯s role did not match her celebrity status.

    However, once this group of photos of Lc Lady became popr, almost all the public opinion favored her. Everyone¡¯s impression of her soared, and they felt that such a person acting as the Chang¡¯e Fairy of ¡°The Moon Pce¡± was more suitable.

    However, amidst the praises and praises, some people raised doubts.

    [ Why do I feel that Bai Lian doesn¡¯t have that temperament? That cold aura is simply overwhelming in the photo of ¡®China Geography¡¯. Bai Lian¡¯s photo doesn¡¯t have that attractive temperament. ]

    [ It might be a problem with the photographer too. After all, he¡¯s a professional photographer for ¡®China Geography¡¯. Our Bai Lian¡¯s one is just an ordinary photographer. He¡¯s definitely not that amazing. ]

    [ The person in front, our Bai Lian doesn¡¯t have that temperament. Could it be that you do?? If you¡¯re capable, go on. There are so many lechers and sour haters nowadays. I think you¡¯re just jealous of our Bai Lian¡¯s poprity. ]

    Bai Lian Studio¡¯s photos had been posted for a day, but no one questioned it openly. Hence, everyone tacitly agreed that the person in the stunning photo was Bai Lian.

    As the ce where photographers loved to take photos the most, the photographers of ¡°China Geography¡± were naturally not the only ones taking photos there.

    In recent years, China¡¯s economic development had been improving. International people were very interested in this mysterious ancient country of the East. Many photographers from abroad were scattered across China.

    As the top ce in the country for photography, Suhang Ancient Town naturally had many famous photographers taking photos here. That day, under the hazy rain,

    The cameramen who pressed the shutter were not only the photographers from ¡°China Geography¡±, but also the cameraman from CBB TV in Ennd.

    However, the two of them were standing at different angles. The photographer for ¡°China Geography¡± only took a chin, while the photographer for CBB TV only took aplete photo of the person.

    Ever since ¡°Lc Lady¡± became popr, Bai Lian¡¯s poprity soared.

    One had to know that the photo of ¡°China Geography¡± would appear in the international publicity film ¡°China and its Beauty¡±. This meant that Bai Lian would appear in the publicity film as a spokesperson for the country.

    Even though she only had a chin, the Chinese knew that she was Bai Lian. This meant that she had a hugemercial value.

    Instantly, all kinds of endorsements came in waves, wanting to make this Lc Lady their spokesperson.

    Although the people of various countries had different types of people, everyone felt the same about beautiful things. At that time, the photographer from Ennd, who had been amazed in Ancient Town, had taken a whole bunch of photos.

    However, because of thenguage barrier and because he did not know how to use Chinese social media, he did not know anything about the ¡°Lc Lady¡± who was popr on the Inte.

    After staying in the ancient town for another two to three days, this photographer from Ennd stepped onto the road to return to the country with a full set of camera photos.

    Ever since Prince Charlie¡¯s visit to China, the two countries had beenmunicating more closely.

    The Ennd people were actually quite interested in this mysterious Eastern ancient country. In the news on the night of CBB TV, the host reported a visit to China using a scene of a Chinese woman slowly walking in the rain.

    That night¡¯s news viewership ratings blew up.

 Chapter 446 - Slap Face Forcefully So It was Xia Wanyuan

    <h4>Chapter 446: p Face Forcefully So It was Xia Wanyuan</h4>

    The angle of the CBB television station¡¯s photographer was very good. At that time, he was on the balcony on the second floor by the bridge. In the camera, a woman in a long dress weed the drizzle and came gracefully. Suddenly, the eaves of the umbre moved away, and a face that was as cold as snow appeared. Her entire person exuded a cold aura.

    Countless people were stunned by this scene when they saw the news. CBB Television¡¯s audience¡¯s phones were about to explode. They were all here to ask who this Miss Eastern was.

    The confused photographer naturally did not know who she was because he had casually taken a photo on the way.

    Someizens from Ennd took a screenshot of this and posted it on the Fins Network. Netizens from all over the world gathered on the Fins Network, and the facts proved that all the vain people in the world were connected. This scene quickly attracted the attention and reposts of many people.

    Theworks in the country were not connected to those abroad. In the country, a group of people chased after Bai Lian and wrote all sorts of confessions for her ¡°Lady Rain Lane¡±.

    Overseas, manyizens were captivated by this mysterious Asian woman¡¯s appearance.

    Theizens found the ount of the photographer who had taken this video. Countless private messages flew over and asked him to upload more photos.

    This photographer really did. At that time, he was also amazed. The camera kept clicking.

    Hence, at the request of theizens, he posted a few more photos on his ount.

    Soon, a topic called ¡°Who Is She¡± climbed to the trending topic on the Inte.

    At this moment, some international students saw the topic and clicked on it.?<i>A female celebrity from China!</i>

    Everyone returned to Weibo proudly to see who it was. They were prepared to figure it out themselves before exining it to their foreign friends, but when they returned to the Chinese websites to take a look,

    <i>Eh???? That¡¯s not right!??? They¡¯re not the same person!!</i>

    With a gap in the matter, more truth began to pour out. Someizens moved the news videos on the outer Inte to Weibo, and very quickly, it attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    In the news, the host praised the mysterious Oriental woman who had been popr on the Fins Network these few days, calling her Venus of the East.

    Then, the scene changed. A woman in green was walking in the rain with an umbre.

    At that moment, the Chineseizens did not realize what was wrong. They thought that Bai Lian was quite hardworking. This time, she had brought glory to the country.

    However, when the woman under the umbre looked up, a face that was as elegant as a painting appeared in the camera. It was enshrouded in the misty rain of Jiangnan behind her, bringing with it a hazy painting scene.

    The foreignizens did not know her, but theizens on Weibo knew her.

    <i>How was this Bai Lian!!!</i>

    <i>This was Xia Wanyuan!!!</i>

    At this moment, everyone exploded.

    So that ¡°Lc Lady¡± was actually Xia Wanyuan and not Bai Lian!!!

    Theizens climbed over the wall and found the ount of the photographer from Ennd, then carried the photos he had posted back to Weibo.

    [ F*ck! I feel it right this time. I knew that Bai Lian¡¯s photo gave me a strange feeling. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bone-deep coldness is the charm in ¡®China Geography¡¯. ]

    [ F*ck, I was actually deceived. Isn¡¯t Bai Lian Studio too shameless? ]

    [ Wow, that¡¯s disgusting. How can youe out and im it? ]

    [ Are you crazy? A few days ago, you crazily said that Bai Lian was the Lc Lady and that you were the ones who praised her for her beauty. Now that the truth has been exposed, you¡¯re the ones who stepped on her the fastest. You don¡¯t have the ability to distinguish right from wrong at all. Instead, you use the keyboard first-rate. ]

    Once theizens had something on her, they would dig until they died. Soon, someone found out that Xia Wanyuan and Bai Lian were wearing the same dress, but they were onpletely different levels.

    The dress that Xia Wanyuan was wearing was made of the highest quality embroidered fabric of the Jiangnan embroidery workshop. The craftsmanship of such a dress was extremelyplicated, and it was purely handmade, so there was only one in the world.

    It was impossible to make such an exquisite dress in such a short time. Hence, the dress that Bai Lian was wearing was specially made overnight after Bai Lian¡¯s team knew about the ¡°Lc Lady¡±. Hence, the workmanship was very crude. When the picture was erged, one could even see some loose ends.

    This time, Bai Lian failed to pretend and suffered a severe bacsh, being mocked by the entire Inte.

    Later on, Bai Lian Studio released a statement saying that they did not say anything. They only felt that the photo was beautiful, so they took a set of photos for their artist. Who would have thought that theizens would over interpret it? From the beginning to the end, the studio did not say that Bai Lian was the woman in the picture of ¡°China Geography¡±.

    This angered theizens. They directly gave Bai Lian Studio and Bai Lian the nickname ¡°White Lotus¡±. Furthermore, it happened very regrly every day. Once Bai Lian Studio posted on Weibo, everyone unanimously flooded the Weiboments with expressions of White Lotus and mocked her to the extreme.

    Not long after, Bai Lian Studio simply closed thements. As a celebrity, Bai Lian needed to be popr with thements, so she could not close thements. Hence, when Bai Lian opened her Weibo, what greeted her was a sea of white lotuses, which became a grand scene.

    The endorsements that swarmed over and swayed in front of Bai Lian, ran away before they could even warm up.

    The protagonist of all these disputes, Xia Wanyuan, did not pay attention to themotion online. She felt that the photos taken by those photographers were indeed beautiful. She captured some inspiration and painted two paintings on the Inte.

 Chapter 447 - Princess Invincible in Sales Explosion

    <h4>Chapter 447: Princess Invincible in Sales Explosion</h4>

    The management of the Jun Corporation had been living especiallyfortably for the past two days. Ever since Jun Shiling came back from a trip, everyone felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s temper had improved a lot.

    Everyone thought to themselves:?<i>Please make a few more trips, CEO Jun. I¡¯m begging you we¡¯re having it too hard.</i>

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± Bo Xiao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. As a man himself, he knew too well why. ¡°It¡¯s a warm night in the Furong tent.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up at Bo Xiao. Not only did Bo Xiao not restrain himself, but he smiled even wider. ¡°CEO Jun, you can even rush to work so early when the beauty is in your arms. Impressive. As expected of the head of the Jun Corporation. Your self-control is invincible.¡±

    ¡°You better havee to me because you have something on.¡± Jun Shiling pretended not to hear Bo Xiao¡¯s teasing.

    ¡°I¡¯ve received definite news that Old K has indeed died a long time ago. The current King is his adopted son. Recently, their people and the Zheng family have been getting closer and closer. Thest time Xiao Bao was taken away, they were behind it.¡± Bo Xiao became serious and reported the matter to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Keep watching. You have to go to Ennd in a few days.¡± Jun Shiling thought for a moment.

    ¡°Sure.¡± After Bo Xiao finished speaking, he began to bezy again. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m alone. Say, no one eats together for this Dragon Boat Festival. How miserable.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao. ¡°Jun Yin misses you. Go to the manor for dinner tonight.¡±

    ¡°Hey! CEO Jun, you¡¯re so kind!¡± Bo Xiao, who had sessfully scrounged for food, recalled that he had not seen the little dumpling in a long time. ¡°Go ahead and do your work. I¡¯ll go buy a gift for the little dumpling.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan posted the finished painting on her Weibo and Fins ount.

    The painting this time was based on two photos of ¡°China Geography¡± and CBB television station.

    One of them revealed a fair chin while holding an umbre, and the other was the beauty raising her head slightly. Xia Wanyuan had always used the brightness of the light to shape the mood. When these two photos were released, a fog of Jiangnan River Delta appeared.

    [ Hahahaha, I think Master Yuan Wanxia can be said to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number one fan. He¡¯s too cute! ]

    [ Master, be honest. Is it because your grandson has a crush on Xia Wanyuan, so he begged you to draw Xia Wanyuan for him every day? ]

    [ The person in front, I agree with you too much. Otherwise, I can¡¯t understand why Master Yuan Wanxia likes Xia Wanyuan so much. The moment the photo was released, the master drew it immediately. ]

    [ Sigh, a master is a master. I¡¯ve learned painting for more than ten years. When I see the master¡¯s use of light and color, I want to kneel down to him. He¡¯s too amazing! ]

    [ How strange. Master Yuan Wanxia likes Xia Wanyuan so much and has spent so much on her, but Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even Like it or repost it. She¡¯s too disrespectful to Master. ]

    Everyone was waiting to see if Xia Wanyuan would like or repost his painting for Yuan Wanxia. In the end, they received a message from Xia Wanyuan about her new status.

    They clicked on it and saw that it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily routine.

    Ever since Tang Yin instructed Xia Wanyuan to post on Weibo more to maintain the fans¡¯ poprity, Xia Wanyuan had remembered it in her heart. Every once in a while, she wanted to post on Weibo to interact with the fans.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°A new cup with my favorite lime juice.¡±

    The apanying picture was an extremely bright cup with a few stalks of ink bamboo on it. As the drink flowed, the cup seemed to be filled with water, making it bright and moving.

    [ Wow, Yuan Yuan finally posted on Weibo!! Front row! Love you! ]

    [ This cup is so beautiful!! I really want a link, but thinking that Yuan Yuan is CEO Xia, I sigh. Sorry to disturb, but I am not good enough for it. This cup looks so expensive. ]

    [ AHHHHHH!! I have this cup too!!! It¡¯s really beautiful!! Yuan Yuan¡¯s picture isn¡¯t filtered at all! The color of the cup is really this nice!]

    [ Does the richdy in front mind keeping me?? She can actually use the same cup as Xia Wanyuan. Amazing. ]

    [ I have one too!! This cup is really not expensive at all! It¡¯s more than a hundred dors! It¡¯s super worth it. This is the link. You¡¯ll know when you buy it. It¡¯s really beautiful. ]

    A cup cost more than a hundred dors. It could not be said to be expensive, but it could not be said to be cheap either. From the photo Xia Wanyuan had ced, if there was really such a material, it would not be too much to add a zero after a hundred dors.

    Everyone clicked on the link in thements skeptically and opened the shop. Then, they realized that it was really more than a hundred dors and almost all of them were good reviews.

    <i>Is this for real??</i>?Someizens bought one with the mentality of testing the poison. Those in the same city had same delivery that night, so they sent the cup over. They received the package and opened the packaging. Theizens were so amazed by the cup that they immediately posted unboxing videos online.

    With the first batch of buyers, word of mouth spread. Soon, four hours after Xia Wanyuan posted on Weibo, the number of orders in the shop increased tenfold.

    Everyone thanked Xia Wanyuan for sharing the good stuff on Weibo. What no one knew was that this shop named Ci Yi was actually opened by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Xia, the orders have already increased by ten times. Our first batch of inventory has already been sold out.¡± Shen Qian reported the situation to Xia Wanyuan happily.

    Xia Wanyuan had spent such a high price to invite Old Master Liu out. Shen Qian was really a little worried that the first batch of cups would not be sold well and ruin the reputation. Now that he saw orders and profits flowing like water, Shen Qian finally rxed. He was simply impressed by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°ording to the current scale, increase the production by another 20 times.¡±

    ¡°Huh? CEO Xia, isn¡¯t this amount a little too much?¡± Shen Qian was a little hesitant. If there was a surplus, it would be difficult to deal with.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, do as I say.¡± Xia Wanyuan seemed to have a card up her sleeve.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Qian was no longer conflicted. He still trusted Xia Wanyuan very much.

    Not only the cup, but even the sales of the lime juice increased by several times.

    At the same time, the ten embroidery workshops that were bought in Suhang had already been assembled, but even Shen Qian did not know what Xia Wanyuan¡¯s next move was.

 Chapter 448 - The Dragon Boat Festival is Suitable to Eat Dog Food

    <h4>Chapter 448: The Dragon Boat Festival is Suitable to Eat Dog Food</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes in ¡°Moon As Frost¡± were almost done, so she had nothing to do today. Hence, she specially went to the kindergarten to pick Xiao Bao up.

    It was the Dragon Boat Festival today. The kindergarten teacher taught the children to fold ¡°Dragon Boats¡± using paper.

    Xiao Bao had learned the steps and was very confident in teaching Xia Wanyuan how to fold the dragon boat.

    When Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao returned to the manor, they saw Xia Wanyuan wearing a long dress and a yellow Pikachu sitting beside her. The two of them were folding things with colorful paper.

    ¡°Hello, Sister-inw,¡± Bo Xiao greeted. Hearing his voice, Xia Wanyuan looked up and nodded at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Uncle!!!¡± It had been a long time since he had seen this beautiful uncle. Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, you still recognize Uncle. I thought you were going to forget me.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes smiled as he waved the box in his hand. ¡°Uncle brought you a gift.¡±

    Xiao Bao jumped up and ran towards Bo Xiao. ¡°Uncle, I missed you so much!¡± Bo Xiao reached out and picked him up.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the boat.¡± Bo Xiao carried Xiao Bao and walked towards theke with the gifts.

    Jun Shiling loosened his tie and sat beside Xia Wanyuan. He watched as she folded the boat. ¡°Why are you wearing so much? Isn¡¯t it hot?¡±

    It was midsummer, and the garden was open. There was no air conditioner. After a while, Jun Shiling felt hot, but Xia Wanyuan was still wearing a long-sleeved dress.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was folding the paper paused. She lifted a sleeve unhappily, revealing a wrist that was as fair as jade. There were still red marks on her wrist. ¡°You have the cheek to ask me.¡±

    Jun Shiling was stunned. ¡°Why isn¡¯t it gone yet?¡±?<i>Hasn¡¯t it been almost a week?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to discuss this topic with Jun Shiling. At the mention of this, she recalled how Jun Shiling had refused to let her go no matter how much she begged.

    ]She put away her things and entered the house. Jun Shiling followed her with a fawning expression.

    Jun Shiling got Uncle Wang to lower the air-conditioning in the main building a little, then went to the fridge to get Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite watermelon.

    Xia Wanyuan had been in Suzhou for four days and couldn¡¯t study problems with the professors of Qing University anymore. Now that they suddenlycked a think tank, everyone was extremely busy.

    Yuan Wanxia suddenly said in the group that she was back. Everyone wanted to discuss problems with him one after another.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa, holding a pen in her hand as she kept writing on the paper. Jun Shiling sat beside her with a watermelon and fed Xia Wanyuan a mouthful a whileter.

    Bo Xiao bought a half-meter-long model boat for Xiao Bao. The two of them tried it outside for a while before entering the house.

    The moment he entered, he saw Jun Shiling looking like a happy ve.

    Bo Xiao suddenly felt that the food was a little prickly.

    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t panic. You¡¯ll have a wife too.¡± Xiao Bao hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s neck and blinked his big eyes.

    ¡°Your mouth is too sweet, little cutie.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    The more he stayed in the manor, the more Bo Xiao felt that this ce was too heartbreaking.

    Jun Shiling did not care if there were outsiders or not, or if it would damage his tall image. He was just short of holding Xia Wanyuan in his hand.

    ¡°Uncle,e, eat this!¡± Seeing that no one was picking up food for Bo Xiao, Xiao Bao sensibly picked up some pork ribs for him.

    ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bao.¡± Bo Xiao felt that there was no need for pork ribs anymore. He was almost full from the dog food today.

    After eating, Bo Xiao was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something.

    ¡°Sister-inw, Xia Yu will probably be participating in the recruitment test in the next two days. If you encourage him, he should be more motivated.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Speaking of Xia Yu, Xia Wanyuan had not contacted him in a long time.

    The ce where Xia Yu went for training waspletely under closed management. Xia Wanyuan still did not know where Xia Yu was.

    However, she knew that Jun Shiling would definitely be able to contact Xia Yu.

    After Bo Xiao left, Xiao Bao was tired from ying for a long time and went to bed early.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, can you contact Xia Yu?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Jun Shiling, who was reading documents, looked up at Xia Wanyuan as if he was waiting for something.

    ¡°Is this enough?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned over and kissed his right cheek.

    ¡°Not enough.¡± Jun Shiling pushed the documents away and hugged her to bully her. Only when Xia Wanyuan was on the verge of anger did Jun Shiling stop. ¡°I¡¯ll call him now.¡±

    Although he said that he was calling, Jun Shiling took theputer over and hugged Xia Wanyuan. He did not avoid her and typed a string of words on the webpage before entering an internal dedicated website.

    Jun Shiling clicked on the profile picture of a person wearing a military cap and called him.

    Soon, the call was picked up. ¡°Hello, Sir.¡±

    ¡°Get Xia Yu to answer the phone.¡±

 Chapter 449 - Jun Shiling Is Crazy?

    <h4>Chapter 449: Jun Shiling Is Crazy?</h4>

    Soon, someone called Xia Yu over.

    ¡°Hello.¡± A familiar light tone came from the phone.

    ¡°Xia Yu.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light voice traveled over.

    ¡°Sister!¡± Xia Yu raised his voice, sounding especially happy.

    ¡°How is it? Are you okay?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. They take good care of me. I¡¯m going to take the assault team test in two days.¡±

    ¡°Okay, good luck. I believe you can do it.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that Xia Yu was much calmer than before.

    Xia Wanyuan chatted with Xia Yu for a while more before he suddenly suggested talking to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Sister, I want to talk to Brother-inw.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan found it strange. In the past, Xia Yu was as afraid of Jun Shiling as anything. Now that he had grown up, he even dared to take the initiative to look for Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan was afraid that Xia Yu had something to discuss with Jun Shiling, so she used the excuse of getting a drink and walked to the side.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice came from the phone.

    Xia Yu recalled the rumors he had heard about Jun Shiling when he was training here.

    ¡°Brother-inw, I¡¯m about to take the test. Impart to me some of your experience.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s the problem?¡±

    ¡°My shooting is always bad. My hand is unstable¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­..

    By the time Xia Wanyuan returned, Xia Yu had already hung up the phone.

    ¡°He couldn¡¯t wait to go for training, so he hung up first. This child is much more ambitious than when I first saw him,¡± Jun Shiling exined.

    ¡°Mm, he¡¯s a good child to begin with.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. ¡°It¡¯s time to sleep.¡±

    However, Jun Shiling did not move. He looked at Xia Wanyuan faintly. ¡°Jun Yin is almost four years old.¡±

    ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s time for him to be independent. He can¡¯t sleep with us anymore.¡± Speaking of this, Jun Shiling felt very depressed.

    Ever since they returned to the manor from Suhang, Xiao Bao had to sleep with Xia Wanyuan every night, while he was left alone miserably.

    ¡°Speaking of which, I agree.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Clearly, he did not expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer to be this. Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°You agree?!¡±

    ¡°Mm, CEO Jun, you¡¯re 25 now. It¡¯s time for you to be independent. Sleep alone in the future.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯m three.¡±

    In the end, the three-year-old CEO Jun finally retained one-third of the use of the master bedroom bed.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling became popr online. To be precise, the ount ¡°Jun Shiling 111111111¡± became popr online.

    However, the reputation of being popr was not good because he had been dragged out as a negative example of the fan industry.

    There were especially many photos and videos of Xia Wanyuan online. Jun Shiling secretly used his alternate ount to mix into the fan group of ¡°One Pot of Little Glutinous Dumplings¡±. asionally, when he had time, he would look at the beautiful photos of Xia Wanyuan posted by the fans.

    Needless to say, there were many photos that even Jun Shiling had never seen.

    Jun Shiling asionally reposted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo or photos of other fans. The apanying text was especially brief.

    He reposted a beautiful picture. ¡°My wife is so beautiful.¡±

    He reposted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo. ¡°My wife is so cute.¡±

    Seeing that there was a jewelry blogger who was interested in jewelry, he said, ¡°Buy it for her when I get back from work.¡±

    Theizen named ¡°I want to book the entire Disnend¡±, who had advised Jun Shiling from the beginning, had always been paying attention to Jun Shiling¡¯s ount11111111111.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s ount 1111111111111 had been posting more and more Weibo recently, and the words he used were getting more and more annoying, the fans could not take it anymore.

    <i>You can imagine things, but can you not imagine female celebrities in my idol¡¯s name? That¡¯s simply insulting my idol¡¯s image.</i>

    Then, this fan posted on Weibo.

    ¡°Are some of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s male fans crazy? They should have a certain degree of imagination, right? @ Jun Shiling111111111.¡±

    Jun Shiling asionally went on Weibo, so he did not realize that he had been posted on Weibo by fans.

    On the other hand, when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans searched for the key word Xia Wanyuan, they saw this Weibo post.

    <i>Hey, what¡¯s wrong with you? Aren¡¯t you going too far with your words? What has this got to do with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans?</i>

    When everyone clicked on Jun Shiling¡¯s ount111111111, they went in to take a look.

    <i>Alright, sister, you¡¯re right. I think this person¡¯s hysteria is indeed not mild.</i>

 Chapter 450 - An Rao Kidnapped the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 450: An Rao Kidnapped the Princess</h4>

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s ount, 1111111, all the content was rted to Xia Wanyuan. From the content, one would think that Xia Wanyuan was his girlfriend.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans specially took a screenshot of this Weibo post and posted it in the group as a negative example, reminding everyone to pursue celebrities moderately and not overthink.

    Jun Shiling had been in Suzhou for a few days and had a lot of things to do in thepany. He was extremely busy now and did not have time to look at Weibo, so he did not see therge number ofments under his Weibo.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The production of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had already reached the end stage. Xia Wanyuan asionally went to the production team to make up for some scenes that needed to be redone. Most of the time, she sat on the set leisurely and read.

    Initially, everyone felt that Xia Wanyuan was putting on a show with such a thick book. However, for many days, as long as there were no scenes, Xia Wanyuan would read there. The production team was used to it.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was engrossed in her book, the director leaned over to take a look. It was filled with literature, which almost made him, an undergraduate director professional, go up to heaven.

    The day gradually passed. Xia Wanyuan had been in that reading posture for the entire day. Yan Ci looked at Xia Wanyuan and wanted to get closer to talk to her. Thinking of what Xia Wanyuan had said that day, Yan Ci retracted his foot.

    The production team ended work and Xia Wanyuan left the house. Jun Shiling had been busy for the past few days and didn¡¯t have time to pick her up. Xia Wanyuan was about to get into the car when a fiery red sports car roared from afar.

    A head stretched out from the front passenger seat and quickly waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister!!!¡±

    Ever since An Rao was 12 years old, she had never had friends again. This was because ever since she was 12 years old, her demon-like face had begun to show signs. When she entered the entertainment industry, everyone would see An Rao¡¯s expression as if she was a demoness, so it was even more impossible to make friends.

    As the only woman who was willing to talk to her and even y games with her, An Rao had long ssified Xia Wanyuan as a good sister.

    An Rao had just finished filming her movie over the past few days and was finally on leave, so she wanted to y with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan paused in her actions of opening the door and watched An Rao¡¯s car drive over.

    ¡°Sister, are you busy tonight?¡± An Rao jumped down with a mask on, but her curvaceous figure still attracted a lot of attention.

    ¡°No.¡± After staying on set for a day, she had already done what she needed to do.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go out and y? Sing? Dance? Let¡¯s go together.¡± An Rao came over excitedly and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Speaking of which, Xia Wanyuan had never experienced the entertainment activities of modern nights. She had only seen them on television, and they were quite fruitful.

    In the ancient times in her previous life, curfews were implemented at night. Other than the more lively holidays, no one was allowed to go out for the rest of the time.

    ¡°Do you know how to drive?¡± Although An Rao had a driving license, she was a 100% road killer. She did not dare to drive herself.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. An Rao got the chauffeur to go back first and handed the driver¡¯s seat to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wow, sister, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at driving.¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes sparkled as she felt the night breeze blow against her face.

    Following An Rao¡¯s directions, the two of them quickly arrived at a colorfulke.

    Jun Shiling finally came out of the meeting room and took out his phone.

    ¡°I¡¯m going out with a friend for a while. I¡¯ll be hometer.¡±

    Jun Shiling was confused.

 Chapter 451 - CEO Jun is Famous Again

    <h4>Chapter 451: CEO Jun is Famous Again</h4>

    This was the first time Xia Wanyuan hade to a modern night market. Beijing was a city with a long history. The shops beside it were decorated with ancient architectural styles.

    Under the ancient and carved eaves, there was a modern feeling. It was quite unique. The fragrance of all kinds of food floated in the air.

    ¡°There¡¯s an extremely handsome singer over there. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll show you.¡±

    With that, An Rao brought Xia Wanyuan to the most popr bar.

    ¡°Miss An, you¡¯re here. This way, please.¡± The people here seemed to be very familiar with An Rao. They directly led her to the VIP seat on the roof of the second floor. One could see the performance of the people below when they lowered their heads.

    ¡°This is our new Heart of Ice. Try it.¡± The staff brought up two light blue drinks. Xia Wanyuan tried them and realized that they tasted like wine. Xia Wanyuan knew that this body could not hold its liquor well. After taking two sips, she put down the ss.

    ¡°Sister, let me tell you. When I have nothing to do, Ie here to watch that singer sing. I think he sings much better than those in the entertainment industry.¡± Just as An Rao finished speaking, the people in the bar suddenly boiled over. On the stage, a young man in a white T-shirt and holding a guitar appeared.

    This young man was extremely handsome, and there was arrogance in his eyes. He casually yed the strings and sang softly. Xia Wanyuan nodded. He did sing quite well.

    At that moment, the boy on the stage inadvertently raised his head and swept his gaze across the second floor. He met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze and was stunned.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang.

    ¡°Where are you?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded. Hearing the music and singing on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone, Jun Shiling frowned.

    Xia Wanyuan said a seat. ¡°Come and pick me up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan hang up the phone, An Rao leaned over. ¡°Sister, is this your husband?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s your husband like? I can¡¯t imagine what kind of person can marry you.¡± An Rao suddenly thought of something. ¡°F*ck, will your husband be angry with you if I bring you to look at handsome guys? Let¡¯s go to a bar with ugly singers.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. This child sang pretty well.¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up her wine ss and took another sip.

    The usuallyzy singer had actually sung a few more songs on stage today. The boss was so happy backstage. He wondered why this little ancestor was so interested today.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling arrived downstairs. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao walked down. Through the ss window, Jun Shiling saw the arrogant youth on the stage, his gaze following Xia Wanyuan.

    An Rao obediently followed Xia Wanyuan. With her driving skills, she could only rely on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car to go home.

    ¡°Sister, your husband is too strict with you. You¡¯ve only listened to a few songs. If I had to say, you should be -¡± An Rao¡¯s words were stuck in her throat when she saw the person sitting in the car.

    ???????????!!!!!!!

    An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan in shock.?<i>If my eyes were fine, the person sitting in the car was Jun Shiling, right? He was the richest man, right? The husband that all women in the world dreamed of?</i>

    ¡°This is my friend, An Rao.¡± Xia Wanyuan briefly introduced her. ¡°My husband, Jun Shiling.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s originally cold expression softened a little at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    An Rao nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face. No matter how wanton she was, she still felt uneasy. After greeting him, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

    The chauffeur sent An Rao back to the apartment first, then sent Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan back to the manor.

    An Rao got out of the car, while Jun Shiling continued to look at the documents with a cold expression.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on him, causing Jun Shiling to snort coldly. However, he still did not push Xia Wanyuan away.

    ¡°How can you be so jealous?¡± Xia Wanyuanughed.

    ¡°Is the song nice?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice sounded above her head.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Many singers in the entertainment industry could notpare to the song that the child sang.

    ¡°Is he good-looking?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Sensing that Jun Shiling¡¯s body had tensed up, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She sat up and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°But not as good-looking as you.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly, and his expression softened.

    While Xia Wanyuan coaxed Jun Shiling, the young man at the bar had ended his performance after Xia Wanyuan left.

    No matter how much the boss begged, he was unwilling to sing another song. He held his helmet and walked out of the bar, calling.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯ll ept that variety show. I¡¯lle and sign the contract tomorrow.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After Jun Shiling11111111111 became popr, Jun Shiling became popr again.

    However, the person who replied was the real person.

    Before going to Suhang Ancient Town, Jun Shiling, as a business giant, participated in the Chinese representative meeting.

    Such an official meeting had always been a gathering of political, business, and big shots from all walks of life. On the news broadcast of the national channel, there were many articles that specially introduced the situation of the meeting.

    As the person in charge of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling naturally received specialized reports.

    The news broadcast onlysted half an hour. In this news broadcast, Jun Shiling alone upied one-tenth of the time.

    In the camera, Jun Shiling was dressed in a ck suit as he stood on the rostrum and gave a speech, analyzing the economic trend for the next few years. Below him sat a group of officials and rich businessmen who usually only appeared on television news.

    The scene changed. The core leaders of the country were sitting in the meeting room for a meeting. The camera swept across them one by one.

    Jun Shiling wore gold-rimmed sses and looked down at the document as his side profile appeared on the television.

    <h4>Chapter 452: The Princess Passed the Poetry Meet Interview</h4>

    Jun Shiling had always kept a low profile, but ever since the global rich rankings were exposedst time, his poprity had soared.

    Ever since the news ended, clips of Jun Shiling had already spread crazily on various websites.

    [ Mommy, the hormones that burst the screen, I¡¯m dead. ]

    [ These sses got me spinning. He¡¯s so good-looking, yet he¡¯s so rich and capable. God is so unfair. ]

    [ I want¡­ I want to be¡­ I want to be intimate with Jun Shiling. ]

    [ The person in front, are you ying dirty? Can you be more reserved? Why are you so excited to see a man? Can you learn from me? I just had sex with Jun Shiling. Did you see me being excited? ]

    [ He¡¯s too handsome. I can¡¯t take it anymore. Line up and wait for a chance to be a stepmother. ]

    The Jun Corporation¡¯s Weibo ount was once again attacked by enthusiasticizens. Countless people swarmed in and asked Jun Shiling to open his Weibo.

    They did not know that Jun Shiling, who they had scolded a second ago, was the one who they had called ¡°crazy¡± and ¡°a toad who wants to eat swan meat¡±.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan returned from Suhang, she had been busy and had almost forgotten about ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡±. Fortunately, Tang Yin reminded her. Only then did Xia Wanyuan remember that it was time for the interview with the producer over there.

    As it was a variety show on national television, there were quite a number of people who had signed up. The television station building was packed. From primary school students to old people in their seventies and eighties, there were people of all ages.

    Xia Wanyuan entered the building. The staff who had already contacted her led her in, and they were attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance and temperament. Everyone looked at her in a daze. Some young people recognized that this was the celebrity Xia Wanyuan from the entertainment industry. They were puzzled.?<i>Why was Xia Wanyuan here?</i>

    The staff brought Xia Wanyuan into the interview room. The few interviewers sitting inside looked up and were stunned when they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    It was not like they had never interviewed good-looking contestants before, but it was the first time they had seen someone so good-looking.

    Okay, Xia Wanyuan, right? We need to conduct a basic test for you.¡± The interviewer quickly reacted. Their program was a poetry variety program. Whether they wanted to keep people or not depended on her ability.

    ¡°What is known as the¡± Sect of Hidden Poets ¡°?¡±

    ¡°Tao Yuanming.¡±

    ¡°Shoot the horse first before the person, capture the leader first before the thieves. Whose poem is this?¡±

    ¡°Du Fu.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about poetry in theter times, but she had a photographic memory and read books very quickly. Normally, she would catch up on all kinds of books in the future when she was on set. Now, she seemed to be at ease with these questions.

    The interviewer asked more than ten questions in a row, but Xia Wanyuan answered them all directly. At that moment, the way the interviewer looked at Xia Wanyuan waspletely different.

    <i>With such a fast reaction and deep literary attainment, this youngdy was really amazing.</i>

    ¡°Please fill in the information here. You¡¯ve already passed the interview. Congrattions, I wish you good results in advance.¡±

    ¡°Thank you,¡±

    Those who obtained the qualifications to participate woulde out with a number te. Those waiting for the interview in the hall were extremely envious when they saw the number te in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Some young people secretly took photos and posted them online.

    Now, the rumors that Xia Wanyuan was participating in ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡± had been confirmed.

    [ Eh? Xia Wanyuan actually has some skills? It looks like she passed the preliminaries. ]

    [ I knew it. Our Yuan Yuan is the best! ]

    [ A little amazing, but I don¡¯t know how far she can go. ¡®Chinese Poetry Meet¡¯ is a ce where there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons. ]

    [ Forget it, she¡¯s just a celebrity in the entertainment industry. Why does she have to think about fixing her high profile all day? Isn¡¯t she tired? ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were all looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new variety show, but most people were suspicious of her participation in it.

    After all, in their eyes, ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± was a very high-end program with a lot of foundation. It was really a little inappropriate to lean on a celebrity like Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 453 - The Teachers Gift Singer Broadcast

    <h4>Chapter 453: The Teachers¡¯ Gift Singer Broadcast</h4>

    No matter how controversial the outside world was, Xia Wanyuan was as calm as ever.

    It had been more than a week since the recording of ¡°The Singer¡±. The production team worked overtime to edit and process the post-production and finally finished preparing the program at the end of June.

    Watermelon tform was a television station that upied arge number of market shares in the country. Normally, the viewership ratings were very high. On this Saturday night, Watermelon tform officially broadcasted the program ¡°Singer¡±.

    When the program was broadcasted that night, the viewership ratings were still normal. By the time the program ended, the viewership ratings had already increased by more than three times. It directly became the most popr television program that night.

    After the television station finished ying, all the major video websites released videos of ¡°Singer¡± online.

    Overnight, this program attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Watermelon tform had always been rich and imposing, and the programs it produced were also very exquisite.

    At the beginning of the program, a golden microphone appeared out of nowhere amidst the shocking sound effects. Figures appeared from behind the microphone, and the silhouettes of many different singers finally converged into the word ¡°Singer.¡±

    ¡°Wee to the first episode of Singer. Our theme for this episode is¡¯ Jiangnan ¡®.¡± The host¡¯s melodious voice opened the program¡¯s curtains. ¡°Next, please get to know the ten contestants in this episode with us.¡±

    Therge screen began to y the video of the contestants¡¯ appearance.

    Figures that everyone was familiar with shed past. Among them, the most eye-catching was Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a cheongsam and had her hair tied up. She turned around and smiled on the bridge.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    This smile immediately caused thements on the video website to increase several times.

    In order to show the talents of the artists, Singer used a draw method to choose the songs everyone had to sing. Xia Wanyuan had drawn a very ssic old song, ¡°Rain Alley¡±.

    [ Hahahaha, what kind of fate is this? Xia Wanyuan became popr on the Inte because of that photo of ¡°Lc Lady¡±. Now, she has drawn the song ¡°Rain Alley¡±. ]

    [ ¡°Rain Alley¡± isn¡¯t a song that¡¯s easy to sing. It¡¯s a ssic old song. ]

    The celebrities chosen for the program ¡°Singer¡± were all very capable. Although Bai Lian was mocked by the entire Inte for pretending to be ¡°Lc Lady¡±, everyone had to admit that Bai Lian had some ability.

    The style of the song she had drawn was very simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Rain Alley¡±. After hearing her sing, the fans broke out in a cold sweat for Xia Wanyuan.

    Some fans even dragged the progress bar and skipped other people¡¯s performances to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s part.

    The entire stage was projected into an ancient alley. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a cheongsam as she slowly walked over. It was as if she had walked out of history. Apanied by mellow music, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light voice sounded, bringing everyone into the drizzle of Jiangnan.

    On the first day of the broadcast, ¡°Singer¡± ¡®s rating on the Douban reached 9.0, and the viewership ratings threw second ce far behind.

    Various trending searches about the program ¡°Singer¡± emerged one after another. Among them, the ones who attracted the most attention were ¡°Xia Wanyuan turn around and smile¡± and ¡°Xia Wanyuan Rain Alley¡±.

    In the ¡°Little Dumpling¡± fan group, more and more people applied to join the group. The president of the fan club looked at the gradually strengthening fan group and was extremely relieved.

    <i>Our Yuan Yuan is really too hardworking. The main character is amazing, and the fan club will be so easy to set up. Even if we did nothing, there are so many new fans.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    While ¡°Singer¡± was about to prepare for the second episode¡¯s recording, Xia Wanyuan received news from the Qing University that the research project she was involved in had be a national demonstration project.

    There was another extremely important introduction on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s resume.

    His colleagues at Qing University had already gotten along especially well with Yuan Wanxia. After all, although this person was talented, he was very humble and never declinedplicated research missions. His colleagues liked this new professor very much.

    ¡°Master Yuan, when are youing out for a meal? Let¡¯s gather too.¡± A professor tagged Yuan Wanxia in the group and the others echoed.

    ¡°After I finish these two projects, I¡¯ll treat everyone to a meal,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll wait.¡± Most of his colleagues were professors in their fifties or sixties. In their eyes, Master Yuan Wanxia should be older than them.

    Thinking of the many help Yuan Wanxia had given them over the past few days and the fact that it was their colleagues¡¯ first meal together, everyone wanted to prepare a gift for their new colleague.

    In the group chat without Yuan Wanxia, the professors shared the greeting gift they had prepared for their new colleague.

    There were brushes, inkstones, and ginseng deer antlers. Other than these conventional things, there were also professors who thought about Master Yuan¡¯s health.

    There were crutches, health supplements, massage devices, and even a wheelchair that the professor had developed for elderly use.

    ¡°Mommy, your singing is so nice.¡±

    In the manor, Xiao Bao sat on Jun Shiling¡¯sp and watched the variety program of ¡°Singer¡±. He felt that Mommy sang much better than the teachers in kindergarten. ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s nice.¡± Jun Shiling shifted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan, who was shining brightly on the television, to his son, who was hopping happily on hisp. ¡°Great-grandfather missed you. I¡¯ll send you to Great-grandfather¡¯s house tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Alright, then Daddy, you have to take good care of Mommy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who was eating a watermelon, looked up. When Xiao Bao did not see her, she red at Jun Shiling, who smiled.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up very early. Although there was nothing else to do in the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, the matter of the embroidery workshop had not been settled. She had to go to thepany.

    ¡°I¡¯ll send you there.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Ever since they returned from Suhang, once he had a chance, Jun Shiling liked to be together with Xia Wanyuan. When the two of them were alone, Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was constantly exuding a strong aura of invasion.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling from kissing her. ¡°I¡¯m going to thepanyter.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan faintly. ¡°It¡¯s been half a month since we came back from Suhang.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew what he was referring to. Her face flushed pink, causing Jun Shiling¡¯s throat to tighten.

    Looking up at Jun Shiling¡¯s bitter expression, Xia Wanyuan reached out and hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s little finger. ¡°Didn¡¯t you send Xiao Bao to Grandpa¡¯s house?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing instantly became heavy. He grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Come back early tonight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan found it funny.<i>?This matter was like an underground meeting.</i>She patted Jun Shilingfortingly. ¡°Got it, Young Master Jun. Can I get out of the car now?¡±

    It had been a while since the car arrived at the entrance of the Xiafeng Corporation. The chauffeur, who had long cultivated into a spirit, waited very quietly outside the car.

    ¡°Go.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair before letting her out of the car.

    Unexpectedly, in thepany meeting room, other than Shen Qian and a few executives, there was also a familiar figure sitting.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up. He waved at her, and the ck diamonds by his ears glistened.

    ¡°Long time no see.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°CEO Xia, CEO Xuan heard that we had a meeting today and insisted on waiting for you here. We couldn¡¯t stop him,¡± Shen Qian approached Xia Wanyuan and said softly.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Make a cup of tea for CEO Xuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat down on the chair. ¡°Use the Snowing in the Wind tea leaves.¡±

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up as he looked at Xia Wanyuan happily. ¡°CEO Xia, you still remember my taste.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not answer this question. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°I heard that you bought ten embroidery workshops. You spent a lot of money.¡± Xuan Sheng sat up straight and pushed a stack of documents in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°And?¡±

    ¡°And I want to cooperate with you and have a share of the profits.¡± Xuan Sheng raised his peach blossom-shaped eyes with a smile.

    ¡°We haven¡¯t even confirmed the direction of our development. Are you sure you want to cooperate? Aren¡¯t you afraid of losing money?¡± Xia Wanyuan flipped the document in her hand. Xuan Sheng was full of sincerity.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if we lose money. It¡¯s mainly because I like you, so I want to work with you more and fight for opportunities to get along with you, CEO Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s words made the expressions of everyone in the meeting room change, except for Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calm expression, Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°I¡¯m joking. I trust your ability very much, CEO Xia. I¡¯m a businessman and want to earn more money..¡±

 Chapter 455 - Unable to Salvage

    <h4>Chapter 455: Unable to Salvage</h4>

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed the document. Ignoring the fact that Xuan Sheng had saved her life, just based on Xuan Sheng¡¯s personal strength and ability, he was a very good partner.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go to my office and discuss the details of the cooperation in detail,¡± Shen Qian stood up and said.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng stood up and walked behind Xia Wanyuan. He pulled out a stool for her. ¡°CEO Xia, please.¡±

    There had been a lot of things happening recently. Other than the embroidery workshop, there was also the Dongshan Road renovation and the porcin cups. Shen Qian led the two of them to the office and went to the meeting next door.

    ¡°Let¡¯s study your business direction first, CEO Xia.¡± Although Xuan Sheng¡¯s original intention was to get closer to Xia Wanyuan, as a member of Glory World Corporation, he naturally had to produce results. Otherwise, who knew how those old farts in thepany would treat him?

    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let me read the documents first.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the secretary brought over a te with a cup of tea and a sandwich.

    Xuan Sheng was stunned when he saw the sandwich. He did not think that any secretary would serve a sandwich when he served tea.

    Furthermore, not many people knew his habit of not eating breakfast.

    Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was reading the documents seriously. Sensing Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan looked up. ¡°You¡¯ll have the energy to do things after eating.¡± With that, she buried her head in the documents.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s fingers curled up. He picked up the sandwich and ate it while holding back his disgust for the food. His empty stomach finally felt a little full.

    Xuan Sheng drank a mouthful of tea and wanted to say something to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Don¡¯t harm your body.¡± Xia Wanyuan had always felt that Xuan Sheng had deliberately allowed himself to hurt his body. Xuan Sheng had saved her before and had never done anything to hurt her.

    Xia Wanyuan was not a busybody, but seeing Xuan Sheng like this, she still wanted to remind him.

    ¡°CEO Xia, do you know that I like you? If you do this, I¡¯ll misunderstand.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan and smiled ostentatiously, but his heart was cold. He was also a smart person and naturally knew that Xia Wanyuan did not have that kind of feelings for him.

    ¡°I already have one.¡± Thinking of Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brows showed a hint of joy.

    Xuan Sheng knew what she was going to say when he saw the light in her eyes. His heart ached. ¡°Alright, stop talking. Let¡¯s talk about the embroidery workshop.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Xuan Sheng was a smart person, so she did not need to say much.

    Xuan Sheng did not mention anything else and the two of them discussed the cooperation for a long time. They only finalized the details at noon.

    ¡°Then it¡¯s decided. I¡¯ll go back and go through the board of directors before signing the contract with you.¡± After speaking, the corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up. He had that charming and tired look again, as if nothing had happened.

    ]¡±Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    After leaving Xiafeng Group, Xuan Sheng got into the car.

    ¡°Young Master, are we going back to thepany?¡± The assistant looked over and saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s cold expression.

    ¡°To the West Mountain Buddha Temple.¡±

    ¡°Huh??? Oh, oh, oh.¡± The assistant was stunned.?<i>Our young master had never believed in ghosts and gods, and he scoffed at Buddhism. What happened today?</i>

    Halfway through the journey, Xuan Sheng stopped the chauffeur. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go back to thepany.¡±

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up mockingly.?<i>I am covered in sins. So what if I believed in Buddha? Xia Wanyuan was probably my punishment.</i>

    <i>Someone like me was destined to not be salvaged. I did not deserve to have such a beautiful person.</i>

 Chapter 456 - No More Jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 456: No More Jealousy</h4>

    After Xuan Sheng left, Xia Wanyuan discussed the matter of Dongshan with Shen Qian and decided to investigate it on the spotter. Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling had been very busy recently. The documents on the table were piled up until they were almost half the height of a person. His brain was working at high speed, calcting the feasibility of various proposals. Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking his train of thought.

    Taking the phone, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes softened. ¡°Hello, are you done?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve finished my work in the morning. I¡¯ll go to the Wei family in the afternoon.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that this olddy of the Wei family was really unpredictable. They had not contacted each other for almost half a month, but she had called her again and asked her to go in the afternoon.

    ¡°Do you want toe to thepany? Or should I go and look for you? Let¡¯s eat together.¡± Jun Shiling pushed the pile of documents out and prepared to work overtime instead of taking a nap in the afternoon. He squeezed out some time to eat with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Let me look for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    When Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door and saw the stacks of documents beside Jun Shiling, she knew that he must be very busy. ¡°If I knew you were so busy, I wouldn¡¯t havee to disturb you.¡±

    ]Jun Shiling stood up and walked towards Xia Wanyuan to hug her. ¡°I missed you.¡±

    ¡°We just separated four hours ago.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed.

    ¡°Mm, I still miss you.¡± Smelling the fragrance on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, Jun Shiling picked her up and ced her on the sofa, exchanging a long kiss with her. ¡°I really want you to be my secretary and not leave my sight 24 hours a day.¡±

    ¡°Dream on.¡± Xia Wanyuan punched Jun Shiling. ¡°Get up. I¡¯m hungry. I¡¯ve been busy the entire morning.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan say that she was hungry, Jun Shiling hurriedly stood up, opened the lunch box that had been prepared, scooped the rice, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What did you discuss this morning?¡±

    ¡°You should eat first. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be full from the vinegar.¡± Xia Wanyuan ate a mouthful of rice, and the emptiness in her stomach finally felt a little better.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling paused for a moment and knew what Xia Wanyuan meant. ¡°You met Xuan Sheng?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and did not hide it from Jun Shiling. ¡°He wants to cooperate with me.¡±

    ¡°Xuan Sheng is quite capable. Glory World Corporation¡¯s saleswork is not bad either. He¡¯s a pretty good partner.¡± Jun Shiling ate as usual. ¡°But you have to be careful. The internal division of Glory World Corporation is very strong. Don¡¯t get involved.¡±

    It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s turn to be surprised. Jun Shiling, this jealous person, was actually not jealous when he heard Xuan Sheng¡¯s name.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s puzzled gaze, Jun Shiling gently tapped her forehead. ¡°Stupid, even if I¡¯m jealous, I love you. Of course I want you to be good. Besides, I trust you.¡±

    He wished he could lock Xia Wanyuan up at home and not let her interact with anyone for the rest of her life. She would only see him and call his name forever.

    However, he wanted Xia Wanyuan to be happy. Even if he felt ufortable, he still hoped that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work would go smoothly.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned towards Jun Shiling. The two of them ate together.

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s rare for Jun Yin to not be at home. Come back early.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes burning.

    ¡°Seriously, can you think of something else?¡±

    ¡°No, you¡¯re my wife. It¡¯s right and proper for me to think about you,¡± Jun Shiling said boldly.

    ¡°Got it. Eat quickly. You still have so many documents to read.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had countless reasons, so she did not argue with him.

    After dinner with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan went straight to the Wei family.

    Wei Zimu had a gentle smile as usual as he waited at the door. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, it¡¯s hot outside, right?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Why is Old Madam looking for me?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that. You¡¯ll know when you get in.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    This time, it was much more familiar than the previous time. After passing through many corridors, Wei Zimu brought her to Old Madam Wei¡¯s courtyard.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, go in yourself. The Old Madam has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± With that, Wei Zimu hesitated for a moment. ¡°The weather is very hot. Do you want to drink or eat something? I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡±

    ¡°No need. I¡¯ll just drink some water. I¡¯ll go in first.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Wei Zimu, and a dimple appeared on her cheek.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan said she didn¡¯t want to eat, Wei Zimu still left the courtyard, wanting to buy something for her.

    He had seen the especially liked milk tea that the youngdies had shared online. Wei Zimu thought that Xia Wanyuan would like it too, so he went to the Inte celebrity milk tea shop and queued for an hour and a half to buy all the vors that the youngdies had mentioned online.

    The Wei family was in the suburbs and the journey back was a little far. He bought arge pile of ice cubes and ced them in a box to keep the milk tea cold.

    After struggling for three hours, he returned to the Wei family. While carrying the bag of milk tea, he bumped into Wei Yu and the rest.

    ¡°Tsk, Wei Zimu, you really know how to please that Xia Wanyuan. You went all the way to buy milk tea for her. Have you seen her eat anything you give her?¡±

    Wei Zimu could not be bothered with them and turned to leave, but the bag in his hand was snatched away.

    <h4>Chapter 457: Wei Zimu¡¯s Gentleness</h4>

    Wei Zimu wanted to reach out to take it back, but he was not as fast as Wei Yu and the rest. The few of them directly distributed the milk tea in the bag.

    ¡°Urgh, it¡¯s disgusting. As expected, only low-ss people like to drink this kind of thing.¡± Wei Yu took a sip with the straw and vomited everything out. She threw the milk tea cup to the ground.

    ]¡±Wei Yu, don¡¯t go overboard.¡± Seeing that the things he had bought for Xia Wanyuan had been thrown aside, Wei Zimu¡¯s gentle face could not help but show anger.

    ¡°Wei Zimu, I advise you to recognize your status too. You¡¯re just an adopted son. You should be grateful that the Wei family is willing to give you a meal. Don¡¯t act so high and mighty.¡± Wei Yu looked at Wei Zimu disdainfully. ¡°Back then, you were just a little beggar on the streets. If not for the Wei family taking you in, what are you now?¡±

    Wei Zimu clenched his fists tightly and did not say anything in the end. Wei Yu and the rest mocked him for a long time. Seeing that Wei Zimu did not react, they felt bored and left.

    Wei Zimu looked at the messy milk tea cups on the ground and was disappointed.

    They had basically destroyed everything except for a ss that was lying at the bottom of the bag and thrown in the corner.

    Wei Zimu reached out to take it, but a pair of jade-like hands had already picked up the bag.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, are you done chatting?¡± Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, a smile appeared on Wei Zimu¡¯s face.

    ¡°Mm, did you buy this for me?¡±

    ¡°Yes, unfortunately, the rest was spilled. This fell to the ground. Give it to me, I¡¯ll buy it for you next time,¡± Wei Zimu said and reached out to take it, but Xia Wanyuan had already inserted the straw into the cup.

    ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious, thank you.¡± The sweet strawberry taste lingered in her mouth. Xia Wanyuan smiled at Wei Zimu.

    A warm smile appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you like it. I often travel around for business trips and bring back many fun things. If you¡¯re not busy, do you want toe with me to take a look?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Unlikest time in Suhang, Xia Wanyuan felt that the current Wei Zimu had a warm feeling from the inside out. Furthermore, she did not see any romantic feelings in his eyes, as if he really doted on her like a sister.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had agreed, Wei Zimu happily brought her to his room.

    Wei Zimu was right. Because he often went on business trips around the world, he always brought back many fun little things when he came back. There were many crafts, some valuable and some not.

    However, it was obvious that they were all carefully selected by Wei Zimu.

    After looking around Wei Zimu¡¯s room for a while, he exined the customs and traditions of various countries to her. Xia Wanyuan listened quite seriously.

    ¡°If you¡¯re not so busy next time, I can bring you along. Tell me what you like to eat and I¡¯ll bring it back for you.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was very interested in what he said, Wei Zimu was happy and invited her directly.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zimu was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would misunderstand, so he added, ¡°Sister Wanyuan, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have any designs on you. I just purely treat you as my sister.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I know. Thank you for the snacks you brought for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at the sky, which was slowly turning dark. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first. Bye.¡±

    ¡°Okay, do you need me to send you?¡±

    ¡°No need. The chauffeur will send me back.¡±

    ¡°This is my phone number. Sister Wanyuan, you can save it. If there¡¯s anything, you can look for me. Be careful on the way.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the name card and left the room. Wei Zimu watched her leave from behind before looking away.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He switched it on. ¡°Brother, if you like it, I¡¯ll kidnap her back for you.¡± A look of disgust shed across his eyes, and he switched off the phone.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan left the courtyard and returned to the manor, the sky was already dark. There was something wrong with the manor today. Normally, at this time, the lights would be lit up.

    The main building today was pitch-ck. Xia Wanyuan looked at the dark main building in confusion.?<i>Could it be that there was a ckout again?</i>

 Chapter 458 - Assist from An Rao

    <h4>Chapter 458: Assist from An Rao</h4>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan return, Uncle Wang weed her.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a ckout?¡±

    ¡°Madam, Young Master instructed it. He¡¯s waiting for you to eat with him inside.¡± A smile appeared on Uncle Wang¡¯s face.

    <i>Young people nowadays are really clingy. They spend so much effort on a meal together. Damn, I¡¯m old.</i>

    ¡°Okay.¡± Helplessness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.?<i>What did this person want to do?</i>?She slowly walked into the house. Hearing the sound of heels and afraid that Xia Wanyuan would think it was dark, Jun Shiling walked out to pick her up.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you turning on the lights?¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the things in her hand to Jun Shiling, but he picked her up and walked into the house.

    ¡°I was waiting for you to eat. Why did you take so long toe back? Did your Brother Zimu chat with you again?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling, but she was stunned by what she saw in the house.

    Actually, it was not that the lights were switched on. It was just that the light of the candles was rtively weak, so from the outside, it seemed like the lights were not switched on.

    There was arge bouquet of roses by the table. They were Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite pink lover.

    Jun Shiling ced her before the table and took a towel to wipe her hands. ¡°Let¡¯s eat. Are you hungry?¡±

    The bright red wine flowed in the cup. Since Jun Shiling was beside her, although it was red wine, Xia Wanyuan drank it without worry.

    The number of times Xia Wanyuan had eaten western food could be counted on one hand. Jun Shiling sat beside her and helped her cut the steak, feeding her mouthful by mouthful.

    Under the warm candlelight, the two of them leaned against each other, and the shadows under the light ovepped.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan wanted to take a shower, but Jun Shiling stopped her from going upstairs. ¡°You shower on the first floor.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate. Jun Shiling turned and went to the second floor.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s back under the light, Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of the countless messages An Rao had sent her.

    Ever since An Rao learned of Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship with her,bined with the fact that there was no news on the Inte, she imagined countless scenes of rich families having an illegitimate child and female celebrities being despised by the big boss¡¯s husband.

    Every day, she sent her a thousand messages to cultivate their rtionship. She was afraid that she would not catch Jun Shiling properly and let him escape.

    Other than sending her all sorts of emotional tricks, An Rao was also afraid that Xia Wanyuan was shy, so she bought a pile of gifts for her and sent them to the manor. Xia Wanyuan had opened them once and made herself blush, so she ced them all in the storage room.

    Today, she suddenly thought of those packages.

    Perhaps due to the alcohol, Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling wanted to make her happy no matter what. It was no big deal for her to make Jun Shiling happy for once, so she went to the storage room, took out a package, and walked into the bathroom.

    Xia Wanyuan did not look at the clothes and threw them into the washing machine. Her shower had always been slow. By the time she finished washing, it was already an hourter, and the clothes in the washing machine had long been dried.

    Xia Wanyuan took out the clothes and slowly put them on. She suddenly felt that she should let it stay in the storage room forever.

    As expected of the dress that Medusa An Rao had meticulously chosen, the dress was very short and had just wrapped around her thigh. The one-shoulder design allowed the lustrous white of her corbone and shoulders to be seen. The close-fitting design outlined her entire arc vividly.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was very epting, she still felt very embarrassed to let her wear such a dress to Jun Shiling. However, she had only taken this dress when she came in.

    Thinking that Jun Shiling should be upstairs now, Xia Wanyuan wanted to slip into the guest room to get a normal set of pajamas.

    However, to her surprise, Jun Shiling was afraid that she would think it was dark. After showering, he waited for her on the sofa downstairs.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door and took two steps towards the stairs, she saw Jun Shiling sitting on the sofa.

    Seeing the extreme charm that was interweaved between ck and white on Xia Wanyuan, together with the hazy candlelight covering her with a mysterious halo, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes instantly darkened.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan saw that gaze, she felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly wanted to retreat to the bathroom, but Jun Shiling had already strode over and picked her up.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you prepared these.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was very hoarse.

 Chapter 459 - The Fluttering Lotus Fragrance

    <h4>Chapter 459: The Fluttering Lotus Fragrance</h4>

    ¡°What? An Rao sent this.¡±

    ¡°Who is An Rao?¡± Although he had met her before, Jun Shiling directly excluded an unrted female name from the content he wanted to remember.

    ¡°The one we sent homest time.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re going to wear it just because she gave it to you? So Madam, you¡¯re so obedient. Are you going to wear whatever I buy for you next time?¡± At this point, Jun Shiling lowered his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped talking and gently pinched Jun Shiling to express her protest, which made Jun Shiling smile.

    Jun Shiling used his leg to open the door of the master bedroom, and the fragrance of lotus flowers wafted over. Xia Wanyuan turned around and smiled. ¡°Jun Shiling, you like these flowers so much.¡±

    The carpet in the bedroom had been removed. Only now did Xia Wanyuan realize that the floor could screen like a television. The entire bedroom was like ake, with clear water and green grass. From time to time, fish swam around. There wererge lotus leaves in the house. At first nce, it looked as if they had grown out of the water on the floor.

    Jun Shiling snorted. ¡°It¡¯s all because you like these.¡±

    Jun Shiling had never liked these nts, but Xia Wanyuan liked them, so he got someone to change the bedroom to this.

    ¡°I quite like it.¡± Xia Wanyuan slept on the bed and winked at Jun Shiling, who followed suit.

    ¡°I like how you look in this.¡± Jun Shiling flipped over and wrapped Xia Wanyuan under him. ¡°You¡¯re beautiful.¡±

    The mes in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes almost burned him up. Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to hug him and whispered the word ¡°gently¡± in his ear. Then, Jun Shiling lost controlpletely.

    In the end, the dress that Jun Shiling thought was very beautiful was ruined.

    Once again, she saw the horizon between night and dawn. Xia Wanyuan covered her eyes weakly. ¡°Jun Shiling, I don¡¯t want to believe you anymore.¡±

    This time, Jun Shiling¡¯s skills were clearly much better than the previous time. He was no longer as disorderly and gentler, but he melted Xia Wanyuan even more.

    Jun Shiling, who had finally eaten his fill, hugged Xia Wanyuan in satisfaction and kissed her on the cheekfortingly. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan was angry at Jun Shiling¡¯s st hundred million times¡±, she still hugged him out of habit and fell asleep in his arms.

    Jun Shiling cleaned her up properly, changed her clothes, and changed the nket. After a while, it was already morning. Jun Shiling decided not to sleep and ate breakfast before going to work in high spirits.

    ¡°When Madam wakes upter, bring her food,¡± Jun Shiling instructed before leaving.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan did not eat breakfast. It was only after noon that she slowly woke up. She raised her hand, and the red marks on her arm made Xia Wanyuan blush.

    On her phone, Jun Shiling had sent several messages, all to remind her to eat properly.

    Xia Wanyuan took the phone and replied with an emoticon of a cat turning around and ignoring him, before she got out of bed to look for clothes.

    She originally wanted to have a good rest for the day, but she had agreed with Shen Qian the previous time that the first batch of embroidery products would be done ording to Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s works.

    After Xia Wanyuan ate, she sat on the chair and drew for several hours.

    Shen Qian was shocked when he received nearly twenty sketches.

    <i>Isn¡¯t Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting worth ten million dors for one?!!!</i>

    <i>Why did CEO Xia get so many paintings just because she said so?</i>?Although Shen Qian respected Xia Wanyuan extremely, he was a little suspicious at this moment.

    <i>Did Xia Wanyuan get cheated? Otherwise, how could she get so many paintings? Could it be that someone had deceived her with fake paintings?</i>

    Shen Qian reminded Xia Wanyuan tactfully from the side. Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, these are all Yuan Wanxia¡¯s real paintings. They were authorized.¡±

    Only then did Shen Qian take the demo and continued his tasks.

    The photos on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo had sold for a lot of money. Xia Wanyuan had donated all of them to the construction of the western forest.

 Chapter 460 - Xia Wanyuans Arrogance

    <h4>Chapter 460: Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Arrogance</h4>

    Jun Shiling, who had been satisfied the entire night, was not angry when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cat emoticon. Instead, he felt that Xia Wanyuan looked especially cute.

    ¡°Master Jun, our turnover increased by ten points in the second quarter!¡± Lin Jing reported to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°What beautiful jewelry are there recently? Go and bid for a nice one.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly interrupted Lin Jing for no reason.

    Lin Jing was stunned for 0.01 seconds, then his expression remained as usual. ¡°Okay.¡±

    <i>Sigh, in the past, as a special assistant, I only needed to do his job well. Now, not only did I have to work, but I also had to be responsible for thinking of a candlelit dinner n for the boss, buying jewelry for thedy boss, and eating the rich version of dog food.</i>

    Lin Jing wanted to write a book. ¡°How difficult is it to be the special assistant of the crazy boss who pampers his wife?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Lin Jing as if he could tell what he was thinking. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard recently. Add a car to your year-end bonus. Choose the model yourself.¡±

    !!!!!!!

    ¡°Thank you, Master Jun. It¡¯s not hard on me! It¡¯s only right for me to work for you.¡±

    Lin Jing smiled and crossed out the book in his heart. He changed it to ¡°How Good is it to have a rich and generous boss¡±.?<i>Just eat dog food. Dog food is so fragrant.</i>

    After Xia Wanyuan finished painting, she saw that it was still some time before dinner, so she practiced writing for a while.

    During this period of time, she had especially liked poems, especially Li Bai¡¯s poems. Hence, she copied ¡°Into the Wine¡± and posted it on Weibo.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was a woman, she had a thousand thoughts in her heart. In addition, feeling Li Bai¡¯s heroic spirit, the words she wrote were extremely imposing, making people feel heroic at a nce.

    Theymen watched themotion. Although most of theizens did not know much, they could vaguely feel what it meant to have a style. It would be over if they kept praising him.

    However, professionals relied on their skills. In the past, everyone had been paying attention to Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting. Now that they looked at her words alone, they felt that they had formed a system of their own. They were different from the few words that were popr in China¡¯s history, but they also formed a school of their own. They were elegant and unrestrained, and it was very obvious what the person who drew the brush was educated.

    While theizens were still bragging, some people had already secretly started auctioning.

    One of the people who was certified as a member of the Calligraphy Association in Cherry Blossom Country actually shouted a million dors at once.

    Although everyone felt that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s words were beautiful, it was still just a piece of calligraphy. No one was crazy enough to spend more than a million dors to buy it. Hence, very quickly, this piece of calligraphy was bought by the people of Cherry Blossom Country.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Chinese to be so ignorant. This calligraphy style is too simr to the style of the mysterious Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s calligraphy saint from a thousand years ago.¡± Seeing the two words¡¯ deal ¡®appear on the Weibo interface, the people from Cherry Blossom were excited.

    Just as everyone was praising Yuan Wanxia¡¯s calligraphy and painting, a trending topic rted to Yuan Wanxia gradually appeared in front of everyone.

    When Xia Wanyuan was participating in the ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± interview, she had met a few fans while waiting outside. Xia Wanyuan looked aloof, but she was rtively easygoing to fans who genuinely liked her, so she chatted with them.

    The fans had asked Xia Wanyuan before. Since Yuan Wanxia liked her so much and often drew for her, what did Xia Wanyuan think of Yuan Wanxia¡¯s works?

    Xia Wanyuan was too embarrassed to praise herself, so she said vaguely, ¡°Not bad. Keep up the good work.¡±

    The fans did not have much of a reaction. They were only concerned about how beautiful Xia Wanyuan was and did not notice what she had said. However, at that time, there were too many people and some people even recorded the audio and sent it to the marketingpany.

    Using the poprity of Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting, the marketingpany yed this audio.

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not say anything bad, Yuan Wanxia was a respected master, and she was many years older than Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Not bad, continue to work hard¡± sounded strange.

    Slowly, many people began to criticize Xia Wanyuan for being too arrogant and ignorant.

 Chapter 461 - Provocation

    <h4>Chapter 461: Provocation</h4>

    [ Did I hear wrongly? Xia Wanyuan actually said to let Master Yuan Wanxia ¡°continue to work hard¡±? No matter what, Master Yuan Wanxia is a senior. It¡¯s not appropriate for her to say this. ]

    [ That¡¯s right. Master Yuan Wanxia is probably old enough to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s father. I wonder who gave her the courage to judge the master. ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. Young people nowadays are really crazy. They don¡¯t respect their teachers at all. ]

    China still respected older masters. Now, seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attitude, they were using her of not respecting people enough.

    When Xia Wanyuan saw this news, she was very helpless.?<i>Could it be that they wanted me to praise him for his high standards, saying that he was unprecedented and unmatched in the future? I¡¯m not that narcissistic.</i>

    Even Tang Yin and the rest were a little puzzled when they were doing public rtions.?<i>Hasn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan always been good with her words? What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t she praise Master Yuan Wanwan a little?</i>

    Theizens discussed. In the end, Master Yuan Wan Xia specially posted on Weibo.

    @ Yuan Wanxia: ¡°Little friend Xia has always had a good rtionship with me and doesn¡¯t care about those red tape. Everyone, don¡¯t worry too much.¡±

    Theizens were the best at imagining things. Now, in their eyes, Master Yuan Wanxia belonged to the type of person who was respected, disregarded former hatred, and was tolerant of others. In their eyes, Xia Wanyuan was considered an arrogant and ignorant young person.

    Xia Wanyuan saw thements online*: Alright, I¡¯m split. On one hand, I¡¯m respectable, but on the other hand, I¡¯m arrogant and conceited.*

    At this moment, the rankings for the first episode of Singer was announced. After two people were eliminated, a total of eight people advanced for the second episode. The two people who were eliminated were within everyone¡¯s expectations.

    Soon, ¡°Singer¡± entered the second episode¡¯s recording, and ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± entered the first episode¡¯s recording.

    In order to show the greatest fairness, ¡°China Poetry Meet¡± used a live-streampetition method to record directly. The national television station was full of confidence and did not do any post-production.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the national television station, the other contestants were already prepared.

    ¡°Celebrities nowadays really know how to hype things up. Even the country¡¯s traditional culture is used as a tool to hype themselves up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had just sat in the waiting room when she heard two middle-aged men whispering.

    Since they were middle-aged, they were very concerned about their results. There were actually some younger children who participated in thepetition, but they did not care about them.

    Most of the contestants were young people from famous schools, and there were also people like them who had umted knowledge for many years. Only Xia Wanyuan was an exception. Not only was her school a pheasant school that had never been heard of, but her identity was also an entertainment celebrity.

    The middle-aged men felt that it was embarrassing topete with such a pretty face in the entertainment industry. Hence, the moment Xia Wanyuan entered, the two of them deliberately whispered to each other.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the two nearly bald people beside her and gently knocked on the table. The two of them looked at her together.

    ¡°Be quiet.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words had a dignity that made one involuntarily submit. For some reason, the two people who did not like her actually felt a little flustered when they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s snow-like eyes and did not speak further.

    At that moment, the camera crew entered. Xia Wanyuan took out a cup and made herself a cup of tea.

    The photographers had never seen such a calm contestant before, so they immediately gave her more shots.

    In the camera, Xia Wanyuan took out a small box of tea leaves and ced them in a cup that was as clear as water. ck bamboo extended from the cup, and the tea leaves swirled in the teacup. As the heat rose, the entire cup was like a bamboo forest covered in mist.

    [ I want to see the link to this cup in a second. If not, I¡¯ll beat everyone to death. ]

    [ My instincts tell me that I definitely can¡¯t afford Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cup. ]

    [ The person in front, your instincts are wrong. I can tell you that you can afford this cup too much. The link is here. Ci Yi this shop is simply a treasure shop. I want to buy every design. ]

    While the program was recording, theizens had already reached out to the porcin shop to buy Xia Wanyuan¡¯s simr cup.

    The orders and sales for Ci Yi had been increasing rapidly.

    Soon, the first group¡¯spetition waspleted, and a group winner was born. It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s group¡¯s turn.

    One group of 12 people stood on the field.

    The national television station had always been rich and imposing. The stage effects of ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± were especially magnificent. The green bamboo on the stage swayed and looked quite beautiful.

    ¡°Alright, wee all contestants. Next, whoever answers first will get the point. Please listen to the questions.¡±

    ¡°When one is unconscious, they will know the time. Lovers don¡¯t sleep alone. But when they see a new person smile, they hear an old person cry.¡± The word ¡°unconscious¡± in the middle referred to? A Acacia Flower B Night Lavendar C Moon Flower.¡±

    Just as the host finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. ¡°A¡±.

    ¡°Correct!¡±

    ¡°What was the next sentence after Four seasons below Luofu Mountain?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan: ¡°Kumquats, red bayberries are reborn again.¡±

    ¡°Correct!¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­..

    ¡°Correct! Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for getting another 10 points!¡±

    Originally, each group had five minutes to answer the questions, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reaction speed was too fast. In the end, their group finished all the questions in three minutes.

    Furthermore, because Xia Wanyuan reacted quickly, Xia Wanyuan had answered all twenty questions alone. The two people who had just mocked Xia Wanyuan for being a vase could not even answer one question.

    [???? I¡¯m shocked. Is she that amazing? ]

    [ F*ck¡­ What kind of Asura Arena is this? Is Xia Wanyuan serious about her answer speed? ]

    [¡­ Is this real? Is Xia Wanyuan that amazing? ]

    Not only were the live audience at the scene stunned, but theizens watching the live broadcast were also stunned. After all, this was the first time they had seen apetition end so quickly in ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡±, and Xia Wanyuan hadpletely won.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan became the first in the group stage with a perfect score and entered the next round.

    In the following group stages, the third, fourth, and fifth groups did not seem to win as easily as Xia Wanyuan. The team members fought for a long time before deciding the winner of their groups.

    Finally, the champion of the first episode¡¯s group match would be chosen from these five people.

    ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡± might be called poetry, but it would also cover many other aspects. For example, thepetition for the championship in the group stages was more difficult than the grouppetition just now. It involved many other things.

    The five winners of the internal division stood on stage and the camera swept across them one by one. The others looked very nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy, other than Xia Wanyuan, who was very calm and could even be said to be standing leisurely on the stage, she did not look like she was about to start the PK match at all.

    ¡°The contestants are ready. Please listen to the questions..¡±

    ¡°The first question: What¡¯s the next sentence of Wang Anshi¡¯s Spring Night following ¡°The fragrance of the golden furnace leaks out¡±?¡±

    ¡°The breeze is cold.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, ten points!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the next sentence after Luoyang¡¯s daughter cherishes color?¡±

    ¡°An independent and cosy fence.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­.

    Xia Wanyuan was always calm, but the speed at which she pressed the button was faster than anyone else. Soon, the ten questions were over, and no one else could interrupt.

    One reason was that their reaction speeds could not keep up with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. The answers to every question were blurted out by her as soon as he finished reading them. It was not easy for them to react, but the speed at which they pressed the button was not as fast as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    In a series of 00000 results, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s 100 points directly left everyone behind.

    The followingpetitions were even more iparable. Xia Wanyuan advanced with full marks the entire way. The contestants who were in the same period as her turned green. They had thought thatpeting with this female celebrity in the entertainment industry would be the easiest win for them.

    In the end, the person they thought was copper, was actually a King, and she was even a King in hell mode.

    After the program ended, the video of Xia Wanyuan quickly answering questions became popr online. Even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waiting area tea-making video became popr.

    Looking at the orders that swarmed over, Shen Qian simply knelt down to this magical boss. This ability to bring goods was simply invincible.

    Xia Wanyuan answered too quickly. Someizens also questioned whether Xia Wanyuan had a script to read ording to, but theycked evidence. In the end, these doubts were drowned in the mixed voices.

    After the recording, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the recording studio and met Wei Zimu, who was waiting outside with a cup of milk tea.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, congrattions. You did a great job. This is for you. I heard from other youngdies that this is delicious.¡±

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it.

    ¡°The Wei family is the sponsor of this program. I know you¡¯repeting here, so I came to take a look. You¡¯re amazing.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan inserted the straw and took a sip. Her eyes curved up, causing Wei Zimu¡¯s hand to move. He wanted to rub Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head, but in the end, he stopped.

    ¡°Where are you going now? Let me send you.¡±

    ¡°No need. I can go myself. I still have something on.¡± Xia Wanyuan prepared to make a trip to Bai Xiang Corporation. She did not know if the beverage she had asked them to developst time had seeded.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Zimu did not force her and took out a bag of throat medicine from his pocket. ¡°You talk a lot during thepetition. Bring this along to protect your throat.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    Wei Zimu wanted to remind her again, but seeing that more and more people were passing by, he stopped and watched Xia Wanyuan leave the television station building.

    Xia Wanyuan went to Bai Xiang Corporation to retrieve the first batch of samples. Shen Qian also sent the second batch of porcin over.

    The second batch of porcin style changed to a painting in ink. The cup was light pink like a flower, bright and clear. Xia Wanyuan poured the bright red watermelon juice in, and the entire cup seemed to be dyed with color. It was beautiful and moving.

    Xia Wanyuan drank a mouthful of iced watermelon juice in satisfaction.?<i>This Old Master Liu¡¯s skills were indeed not bad. He hadpletely achieved the effect I wanted.</i>

    Taking a picture of the cup, Xia Wanyuan posted it on Weibo. Her poprity was high to begin with, and due to her stunning performance in ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡±, her Weibo post instantly attracted countless people¡¯s attention.

    The color that girls could most easily be tempted by was pink. Someone who was initially hesitating because of the ink department¡¯s style, saw the super good looking cup and fell for it.

    The Ci Yi shop on Weibo was searcheduntil the server copsed.

    The second episode¡¯s recording of ¡°Singer¡± followed suit. The theme of the second episode was different from the first episode, and the format of thepetition had also changed. This time, it was a two-personpetition, and each of the eight guests could bring in an external support.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to bring An Rao along, but thepany sent news that they had already arranged a partner for her.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow when she saw her new partner for the first time.

    <i>It was actually him..</i>

    The youth sitting in front of her was wearing a white skeleton T-shirt and a few metal rings on his hands. He satzily.

    It was the singer who was a permanent resident in the bar the previous time. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, the young man looked up and lowered his head.

    ¡°Come, this is your partner, Fang Jin, who thepany found. Although the child is young, he¡¯s very talented in singing.¡±

    Thepany wanted to build aprehensive image for Xia Wanyuan, so they wanted to start with the variety program of Singer and bring different feelings to the audience through different forms of music.

    This Fang Jin was someone thepany had dug up for a long time and had found with a good image and good singing skills. He would not hold Xia Wanyuan back.

    ¡°I know. He¡¯s indeed quite talented.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Although she had not listened for long thest time, this person¡¯s skills were indeed not bad.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Fang Jin looked up and met her cold gaze. He tilted his head and the corners of his lips twitched.

    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s talk about the next episode¡¯s song.¡±

    Chen Yun moved a chair and sat beside the table. He wanted to chat with them, but who would have thought that the young man would stretch out his leg and turn his head to look at Chen Yun?

    ¡°You don¡¯t understand. What are you doing here?¡±

    Chen Yun: ¡°¡­¡± He nced at Xia Wanyuan, who nodded. Then, Chen Yun left.

    Unexpectedly, this youth looked like a thorn, but when it came to professional things, he was not as difficult toe into contact with as Xia Wanyuan had imagined.

    The young man didn¡¯t seem to like to talk, so Xia Wanyuan started. She thought of the songs that the two of them could sing together and Fang Jin asionally added.

    After chatting for two hours, they finally settled on the song. Xia Wanyuan nced at the time. It was almost time to get off work.

    ¡°Alright, if you have time, let¡¯s rehearse tomorrow,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she took the bag with the books and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Your songwriting is not bad. Your singing is not bad either,¡± the youth, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    The youth did not speak further. Xia Wanyuan left with the bag.

    The youth behind looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back and called outside.

    ¡°I saw her. She looks a lot like her mother. She¡¯s a small celebrity in China. There¡¯s a lot of news about her. I packed and sent it to your email.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan left thepany building. The familiar Phantom was already waiting by the side. The chauffeur opened the car door and Xia Wanyuan sat in.

    ¡°You did well at the poetry meet.¡± Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms and handed her an exquisite box.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw a beautiful ne.

    ¡°It¡¯s a reward for passing the preliminaries,¡± Jun Shiling said as he took the ne and helped her put it on.

    ¡°Thank you, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay? Is it good to have a younger brother?¡± Lin Jing would arrange Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedule and pass tit o Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling had only just learned that Star Creation Entertainment had arranged a young and handsome youth to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s partner.

    ¡°We¡¯re just filming a variety show together. Are you a jealous freak?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling helplessly.

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly. ¡°Sooner orter, I¡¯ll film variety shows with you and let them know who¡¯s your man. Those messy CPs have to be withdrawn.¡± At the mention of this, Jun Shiling thought of Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± and felt very aggrieved.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan casually agreed. ¡°When the timees, bring Xiao Bao and we¡¯ll go on variety shows together, okay, CEO Jun? Aren¡¯t you angry anymore?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had only said it casually. She did not expect that in the near future, the scene she had said would really be realized, and it would even cause a public dog food craze.

    Shen Qian had always been in charge of the project in Dongshan. Initially, the project and construction had been discussed and the construction process was halfway done.

    Some of the natives over there had heard some rumors and were suddenly unwilling to let the Ning Yuan Fund fix the road for them.

    The locals relied on their numbers to force back the project workers. They refused to let the road repair project go any further.

    Themotion was especially huge. The locals even had a conflict with the construction team. The media began to pay attention to this matter.

    Shen Qian had a few ideas, but he couldn¡¯t decide for himself, so he found Xia Wanyuan.

    ia Wanyuan listened to Shen Qian¡¯s situation.

    ¡°How far is Beijing from Dongshan?¡±

    ¡°The ne and bus will take five hours.¡±

    ¡°Alright, then pick me up tomorrow morning. I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Xia Wanyuan instructed on the phone.

    Jun Shiling frowned when he heard that. After Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

    ¡°You definitely can¡¯t return that night after going to Dongshan. Xia Wanyuan, you¡¯re too much..¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back the day after tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder as if she was a leader consoling a subordinate. Jun Shiling almostughed from anger.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and did not speak. Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. The heat pounced on his ear, making his heart surge. The wordsing out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth made Jun Shiling even more excited. ¡°I¡¯ll let you bully me once I¡¯m back.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand suddenly tightened as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes. ¡°Five times.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯m noting back.¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to push Jun Shiling away.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Once it shall be.¡± Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, thinking that it would not be up to her when the time came.

    The next morning, Shen Qian waited for Xia Wanyuan in thepany. Dongshan was a small ce with no airport.

    They could only take the ne to the nearest airport and change to another car.

    There were many mountains on the way to the East Mountain. After a long and continuous mountain road, Xia Wanyuan and the rest finally arrived at the entrance to the East Mountain.

    It was different from what Xia Wanyuan had imagined. Dongshan was not a deserted mountain vige. In fact, the mountains were beautiful and the scenery was very good. However, because of the inconvenience of transportation, it was very difficult to go out. Even though they knew that this ce was beautiful, not many people were willing toe.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the vige.¡± Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and wanted to take a look personally.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Shen Qian had stayed here with the melon seller aunt for a few daysst time and was already somewhat familiar with this ce.

    Now, he brought Xia Wanyuan around the vige. The soil here was not poor, and various fruit trees could be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan looked around. No wonder Shen Qian said that this was a very good fruit base.

    Along the way, the thing that left the deepest impression on Xia Wanyuan was the god statues that could be seen everywhere. The people here were extremely superstitious. The profession of the sorcerer, which could no longer be seen outside, had a high status here. People had to go and ask for a fortune when they went out.

    Arge reason why the vigers did not allow the construction team to continue was because the people here had heard someone say that once the soil was touched, it would hurt the Feng Shui here and disturb the souls of their ancestors.

    ]Xia Wanyuan had a feeling that someone had deliberately released this rumor. ¡°Have you found out who it is?¡±

    ¡°It was those melon sellers who bribed the sorcerers in the vige. After all, after we repaired the road, the benefits they could gain from it would bepletely gone.¡± Shen Qian plucked a fruit from a tree at the side and ced it in the spring water to wash it before handing it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Superstition? That¡¯s easy.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a bite, and the fragrance of the juice overflowed. ¡°Do it like this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had instructed Shen Qian about some things. When Shen Qian heard this, he cast an admiring gaze at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°CEO Xia, your method is really good. Do to them what they did to you. Now, those melon sellers have no choice.¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s agreement, Shen Qian went to settle some matters while Xia Wanyuan strolled around the vige herself.

    The air in the mountains was good, and the spring water was clear. Wild grass and fruits could be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan took a small video and sent it to Jun Shiling.

    In the office of the corporation, Jun Shiling was listening to Lin Jing report on work when his phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up and looked at it with a gentle expression.

    A basin floated across Lin Jing¡¯s heart. The basin was filled with dog food.

    Thinking of Jun Shiling¡¯s promise to add another car to his year-end bonus, Lin Jing felt that dog food was actually quite delicious. He loved it..

    <h4>Chapter 466: The Princess Encounters the Commoners Fight</h4>

    Girls outside never came to the vige. Although Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask, her picturesque eyes and beautiful clothes were enough to shock the vigers on the way.

    Xia Wanyuan walked slowly. As she messaged Jun Shiling, she checked her surroundings.

    ¡°Is that Miss Xia?¡± Someone suddenly called out to her from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around. It was the aunt who had sold melons back then.

    ¡°Auntie.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s really Miss Xia!! Why are you here?! Come,e,e,e and sit at my house for a while,¡± the auntie said and enthusiastically invited Xia Wanyuan over.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. The aunt hurriedly walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, as if to protect her. She brought her home and closed the door the moment she entered.

    ¡°Miss Xia, why did youe to our small mountain vige? Thank you for spending so much money to buy our fruitsst time.¡± Knowing that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat watermelons, the auntie specially took out an ice-cold watermelon from the well water and cut it open. The green-red melon pulp was very alluring.

    ¡°I came to shop around.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the watermelon and bit it.

    ¡°Aiyo, Miss Xia, I have to remind you that our poor mountain is not like a big city. Go out quickly while the sky is still bright.¡± The aunt had a good impression of this good-looking and kind celebrity.

    ¡°Auntie, do you mean that there¡¯s trafficking in the vige?¡± Xia Wanyuan had originally only wanted to probe. In her previous life, when she was in power, she had handled many simr incidents. The more isted and backward a ce was, the easier it was to breed such conflicts.

    In the end, the melon seller¡¯s expression changed immediately. She lowered her voice. ¡°Miss Xia, everyone here belongs to the same family. Even the local police can¡¯t do anything to them. You have to be careful. I¡¯ll send you outter. It¡¯s not good to stay here for long.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Auntie. I¡¯ll have someone pick me upter.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiledfortingly. ¡°Is this your child?¡±

    A head poked out from the corner of the wall. He looked strong and buff, but his eyes were very bright. Although the woman selling melon seeds was from the mountains, it was obvious that she loved cleanliness. The child looked like he had been taken good care of.

    ¡°Yes, this is my youngest son. Come here and call sister.¡±

    ¡°Sister,¡± the little boy called out crisply.

    ¡°Hello, this is for you to eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan took out a bag of chocte from her bag and handed it to the little boy. The boy reached out to take it. His hands were covered in fine wounds, as if they were cut by grass.

    ¡°What grade are you in?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked casually.

    ¡°He didn¡¯t go to school. Sigh.¡± At this point, the middle-aged woman sighed. ¡°We only have one school here and only one teacher in the school. He died of illnessst year and no one was willing toe to our side. This child is about to reach school age, but without a teacher, what can we do?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at the little boy¡¯s bright eyes. ¡°Do you want to go to school?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The little boy nodded obediently. Although the child was still young, he had always heard his parents talk about it. Only school could change their fate.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and did not speak further. ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. Do you want to bring a few watermelons back? I don¡¯t have anything good here.¡±

    ¡°No need. I¡¯lle and visit you again tomorrow. Bye,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and walked out, calling Shen Qian.

    Before the call connected, several people had already walked over. Their gazes kept sweeping over Xia Wanyuan, and the turbidness in their eyes made one feel ufortable.

    A few men who spoke in local dialect surrounded a rtively small middle-aged woman in the middle and pointed at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Youngdy, where are you going?¡± The middle-aged woman actually spoke authentic Mandarin. Her eyes shone as she looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored them and picked up Shen Qian¡¯s call. ¡°Hello, Shen Qian. Come and pick me up now. I¡¯m at the door of the fifth house at the vige entrance.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had someone with her, hesitation shed across the middle-aged woman¡¯s eyes. However, the man standing beside her gestured with his hand. The middle-aged woman steeled her heart and gestured for them to calm down.

    ¡°Wild wolves will appear in this vige at night. Little girl, don¡¯t walk around alone. Why don¡¯t you follow us to the vige chief¡¯s house?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had eliminated so many mountain bandits before and had a deep understanding of the saying that wicked people appeared in poor mountains and rivers. She estimated that Shen Qian would arrive soon and immediately said coldly, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    ¡°Hey, little girl, why are you refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?¡± The middle-aged woman gave her a look, and the men standing on both sides walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan dodged for a while, and the two of them missed. They were embarrassed. Xia Wanyuan took a fire stick that someone had thrown and swung it a few times. The person in front had blood on his head. Themotion here quickly attracted the attention of the other residents in the vige.

    Some people opened the door to take a look and closed it again.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements were nimble. Not only were these people unable to catch her, but they were also beaten up by her. At this moment, Shen Qian drove the SUV and roared over. Xia Wanyuan got into the car directly. Shen Qian stepped on the elerator and raised a cloud of dust.

    ¡°How unlucky. It¡¯s not easy for me to meet a good person, but she¡¯s actually a tough one.¡± The middle-aged woman spat in the direction Xia Wanyuan had left. ¡°Forget it, forget it. Go and take a look at the new goods I brought. This time, she¡¯s a superior good. She can definitely give birth to a son..¡±

    The few of them could only curse and leave with the middle-aged woman.

    In the car, Shen Qian drove the SUV at an extremely fast speed. ¡°CEO Xia, why are you fighting with them?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a problem in this vige. There¡¯s probably some people who have been kidnapped.¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.?<i>That middle-aged woman must be the middleman.</i>

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll call the police now.¡± Shen Qian hadest time and felt that the vige was still strangely peaceful. He didn¡¯t realize that something like this had happened.

    ¡°The local police are probably from the same faction in this vige. Calling the police will alert the enemy. Let¡¯s follow the original n first. I¡¯ll think about it tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was used to sharing her matters with Jun Shiling, so she left out the fight and told him about what had happened here.

    That night, many strange things happened in Dongshan Vige. First, a fish that was fished out of the water had a bamboo slip in his body. Most of the contents of the bamboo slip were the same.

    In the night wind, there were actually sounds of foxes. If one leaned closer to listen, they could tell that this fox was speaking humannguage.

    Dongshan Vige had always been windy and rainy, but on this night, there was lightning and thunder. A huge bolt of lightning raged above the vige for the entire night. Several houses in the vige copsed from the lightning.

    In order to save time, Xia Wanyuan lived in the house of a hunter at the entrance of Dongshan Vige. Ning Yuan¡¯s construction team was around, so it was rtively safe.

    Around five in the morning, the dog outside suddenly barked. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes warily, sat up, and picked up a wooden stick.

    The door was pushed open. It was actually Jun Shiling with a cold expression. When he saw the wooden stick in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, the coldness on Jun Shiling¡¯s face increased.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at him in surprise.?<i>It takes at least five hours toe from Beijing. Jun Shiling had not slept at all?</i>

    ¡°Is this what you meant by casuallying and going back?¡± Jun Shiling closed the door and walked in, wrapped in the darkness.

    Xia Wanyuan threw away the wooden stick in her hand and reached out to Jun Shiling. Although Jun Shiling was furious, he still hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep the entire night?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I was worried about you, so I came over.¡± Jun Shiling worked overtime in thepany until eleven o¡¯clock. After thinking about it, he was still worried, so he rushed over from Beijing.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s tired eyes, Xia Wanyuan was touched. She took the initiative to kiss him. ¡°Then sleep with me for a while more.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling took off his shoes and socks and slept on the bed. He hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. He was about to lie down for a while when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to continue sleeping when her sleeve was suddenly pulled open. Xia Wanyuan subconsciously wanted to cover it, but it was toote. As expected, when she looked up, she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes that were as cold as snow in the winter.

    ¡°It¡¯s true. There¡¯s only this little bruise on my body. It¡¯s the only one. I promise.¡±

    Jun Shiling felt that he was about to die of anger, but he did not want to re up at Xia Wanyuan. He could only clench his fists tightly and calm the anger in his heart.

    After a while, Jun Shiling got up, found the medicine by the side, and carefully treated Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound. Then, with a cold expression, he let Xia Wanyuan lean on him. His tone was filled with ice. ¡°Sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan consciously reflected on herself. She felt that it was her fault that Jun Shiling had rushed over overnight and had been angered by her.

    She knew how to make Jun Shiling happy.

    Xia Wanyuan softened her voice and leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Hubby, I missed you. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand froze. He felt as if a cold wind had blown across his heart, followed by the warm sun of March.

    His heart ached and he was furious, but he could not help but soften because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coquettishness.

    Jun Shiling sighed in his heart. He could not do anything to Xia Wanyuan. He turned around and wrapped herpletely in his arms, feeling warm. ¡°Alright, sleep. I¡¯m not angry anymore. Sleep a little more.. Don¡¯t you have something onter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling¡¯s suppressed anger and his gentleness, and she felt a little emotional.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s personality was actually extremely domineering. It was obvious from his daily work style, but he could give in so much in front of her.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had kept her eyes open and did not speak, Jun Shiling let go a little. He thought that his tone was too cold and had made Xia Wanyuan unhappy.

    His voice became even gentler. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. My tone was too harsh just now. Sleep a while more and I¡¯ll go with you to do your things, okay?¡±

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and looked at him with sparkling eyes. ¡°Jun Shiling, I like you so much.¡±

    You¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s grip tightened.

    Xia Wanyuan had never expressed her feelings so clearly. asionally, once or twice, it was when the two of them were touched that he led Xia Wanyuan to say it.

    In such a sober state, her eyes were shining as she expressed her feelings.

    It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time.

    Jun Shiling did not know how to react.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up. She found afortable position in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and yawned. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. Let¡¯s sleep.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± After a while, Jun Shiling reacted and hugged her back.

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s warm embrace, Xia Wanyuan was about to fall asleep when she heard an extremely affectionate voice. ¡°I love you.¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up as shepletely fell asleep.

    After a good night¡¯s sleep, the nket beside Xia Wanyuan was cold when she woke up. Jun Shiling had already woken up.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket, Jun Shiling entered the house with a basin of water.

    ¡°You¡¯re up?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked in, put down the basin, and took the clothes by the side for Xia Wanyuan to wear one by one. Xia Wanyuan was not an arrogant person, but Jun Shiling had been helping her put on clothes recently. She was used to it and leaned on Jun Shiling rxedly.

    Jun Shiling carried her off the bed and put on her shoes. ¡°Alright, go and wash up over there. Breakfast is ready.¡±

    After washing up, Xia Wanyuan sat at the table and looked. There were two eggs lying on the two simple bowls of onions, but the shape of the eggs was a little messy.

    ¡°Did you cook it?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not think that someone who knew how to cook could cook an egg like this.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Clearly, because of the shape of the egg, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression cracked a little. ¡°This is the first time I made this. I tried it and it tastes okay. If you don¡¯t want to eat it, I¡¯ll get someone to send something else in.¡±

    ¡°No need, I¡¯ll just eat this.¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up her chopsticks and tasted it, finding it quite nice. ¡°It tastes pretty good.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Only then did Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sit at the table and eat.

    Xia Wanyuan ate the entire bowl of noodles and drank the soup. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done. I have to go and do something. Do you want toe with me?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    At this moment, Dongshan Vige had already fallen into chaos. Themotion that had happened the previous night had caused everyone to panic. The few families whose houses had been destroyed by lightning began to sit on the ground and cry before the sky lit up.

    Under each god statue, people were kneeling. Everyone kowtowed and prayed to the sky.

    Shen Qian stood at the side and gave a look. The sorcerer of Dongshan Vige, who had been intimidated for the entire night, hurriedly stood up and said mysteriously, ¡°In fact, the phenomenonst night was a punishment from God. Go back and read the contents of the bamboo slip. God is foretelling that if we don¡¯t dig up this mountain in front of us, Dongshan Vige will definitely suffer a disaster.¡±

    The sorcerer had always had a lot of prestige in Dongshan Vige. When he said this, everyone panicked. However, the expressions of the vige chief and the other families changed.

    They could get a lot of kickbacks from the traffickers every year. If they repaired the road, where would they get kickbacks in the future?

    Coincidentally, the especially beautiful woman from yesterday appeared at the vige entrance.

    ¡°They¡¯re lying. It must be that woman. Our vige has been in good weather for hundreds of years. Ever since that woman came, a disaster fell from the sky. She¡¯s the one who brought the disaster!¡±

    The moment the vige chief said this, everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly walking over. The other families, who usually relied on the vige chief, also booed.

    Especially the family that Xia Wanyuan had their heads knocked with a wooden stick yesterday. They rushed up with hoes.

    Bang!

    A gunshot sound.

    A round pit appeared on the dirt road a centimeter in front of the person¡¯s toes..

    The person with the hoe stopped in his tracks. Everyone looked at the source of the gunshot.

    The morning temperature in the mountains was a little low. Xia Wanyuan was wearing high heels and a man¡¯s suit. The morning fog made her already cold eyes look even more like snow.

    A ck muzzle peeked out from under the sleeve of his wide suit.

    ¡°She¡¯s indeed a witch!¡± the person carrying the hoe shouted angrily and took a step forward tentatively.

    Bang!

    The gunshot sounded again. This time, it hit the hoe on his shoulder. With an ear-piercing friction, the bullet pierced a hole in the hoe. He could feel the bullet whistling past his ear.

    Now, he waspletely obedient.

    There was a slightmotion among the others around her. Xia Wanyuan fired a few shots in the air. Her red lips parted slightly. ¡°If you take another step forward, my gun won¡¯t have eyes anymore.¡±

    Although the people in the vige were valiant, they had never seen such a realistic scene. They were immediately stunned. They stood rooted to the ground in shock and watched Xia Wanyuan slowly walk over.

    ¡°Do you know why I came here?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice mixed with the coldness of the morning made one¡¯s heart much clearer.

    ¡°Because I also believe in God. A few days ago, God visited me in a dream and said that the vige chief of Dongshan Vige had been embezzling everyone¡¯snd allowance for a long time and often received kickbacks from melon traffickers. The heavens couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so they asked me to tell you.¡±

    For generations, farmers had been superstitious. These vigers who had no understanding of scientific knowledge could not be reasoned with. Since they were so superstitious, Xia Wanyuan might as well follow their train of thought and fish in troubled waters.

    Xia Wanyuan was already beautiful, and her words carried a prestige that made one involuntarily submit. Everyone looked at the vige chief in confusion, then at Xia Wanyuan, not knowing who to believe.

    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t believe this witch!! She must be the one who wants to harm our vige. We¡¯ve been neighbors for so many years, why would I dock everyone¡¯s money?!¡± An obvious panic shed across the vige chief¡¯s eyes, and the way he looked at Xia Wanyuan was filled with hatred.

    ¡°That¡¯s indeed the case. God also visited me in my dream.¡± At that moment, the mage who had received Shen Qian¡¯s hint stood up and said mysteriously.

    ¡°Whether it is or not, why don¡¯t everyone follow me to the vige chief¡¯s house to search for it?¡± A young man in the vige began to speak.

    ¡°No! What right do you have to search my house? This is illegal! The police will be here soon!¡± Thinking of his nephew from the vige police station, the vige chief reluctantly calmed down. Fortunately, he had felt that the situation was not right just now and had sent a message to his nephew to ask him toe over. He believed that he would be here soon.

    ¡°Who hid a controlled weapon?!! Hand it over!!¡± Speaking of the devil, a police car roared and arrived. A man with arge waist and thick police uniform jumped out of the car. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s this woman. She¡¯s bewitching people. Quick, catch her.¡± The vige chief pointed at Xia Wanyuan.

    When his nephew saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, his eyes lit up. He had never seen such a beautiful person in this small town. ¡°Bring her back.¡±

    After speaking, two middle-aged men walked out of the car and walked towards Xia Wanyuan with handcuffs.

    At that moment, the sound of helicopters could be heard from afar. Cars came from the vige entrance. The well-trained police officers were clearly different from the people in the town..

 Chapter 470 - Successful Rescue

    <h4>Chapter 470: Sessful Rescue</h4>

    ¡°Who are you?!¡± The biggest official the vige chief had ever seen in his life was the leader of the vige. He had never seen such a big scene. On the other hand, his nephew¡¯s face was pale.

    ¡°You¡¯re from the provincial office?!¡± He asked with a trembling voice, but everyone ignored him.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what do you need us to do?¡± The leader actually walked respectfully to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Go and search him. Him and him, their homes.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her hand and pointed a few times. The person she had pointed at had his legs go limp on the ground.

    The people in the provincial hall were well-trained. In less than five minutes, they returned with a pile of things that they had searched for. They even brought back a few disheveled and chained people.

    ¡°Everyone, take a look for yourselves. These are all the ounts he received from the kickback. Also, thend allowance the country gives everyone every year has been divided between him and his people.¡±

    There were people in the vige who knew how to read. They looked at the ount book and immediately looked fiercely at the vige chief who was usually harmonious. ¡°You even deducted our blood, sweat, and money. Are you still human?!¡±

    After tearing open a gap, what happened next became especially simple. The anger of the vigers burned. In addition to the words of the sorcerer and Xia Wanyuan, everyone very much resisted the original vige chief. This time, all of them raised their hands to agree to repair the road, and they had no more objections.

    Following the vige chief and a few other families in the vige that sold women and children, the provincial government caught the special-ss human trafficker, Wang Xiuzhi, who had been hiding outside for a long time. Over the past few days, she had brought a girl who had just been kidnapped to check the goods for the person who had bought a wife in the vige. Coincidentally, she was stopped in the vige.

    This person had been in cahoots with a few people in Dongshan Vige for a long time. The provincial government had rescued five people who had been kidnapped from the vige. Other than one who was an orphan and insisted on staying here, the others strongly requested to go home.

    One of the university students who had just been abducted and had yet to negotiate the price strongly requested to return to Beijing with Xia Wanyuan and the rest. The provincial office found Xia Wanyuan, and Xia Wanyuan looked at the delicate and disheveled person not far away and agreed.

    ¡°CEO Xia, the matter is settled. When are we going back?¡± Shen Qian walked to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back in the afternoon. Has the sorcerer been settled?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s settled. Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯spletely ours now. His family belongs to this vige. The vigers trust him so much. With him around, it¡¯ll be easier for us to do things.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and walked towards an off-road car that had been parked at the entrance of the vige. Shen Qian followed behind her and opened the front passenger seat to sit in.

    However, when he buckled his seatbelt, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

    Shen Qian turned around and looked. Then, obvious shock appeared on his usually calm face.

    As a person in the business world, everyone knew Jun Shiling, who was a legend at the top of the business world¡¯s pyramid.

    Ever since he entered the Qing University, Jun Shiling had been a legend in Shen Qian¡¯s heart. After he started his own business and worked hard, this legend had be a distant and unreachable legend.

    And now, this legend was sitting behind him, hugging his boss with gentle eyes. Shen Qian even suspected that he was hallucinating.

    ¡°CEO Jun?¡± Shen Qian called out tentatively.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and nodded at him. Shen Qian was excited. He nced at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling a few times before tactfully turning his head and remaining silent.

    ¡°You¡¯re quite urate.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you taught me well.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up, causing Jun Shiling¡¯s heart to skip a beat. However, out of consideration for Shen Qian, who was sitting in front, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart and pull Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    At that moment, someone knocked on the car window. It was someone from the provincial office.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. I¡¯m sorry. This kidnapped youngdy, Wang Liu, is very carsick. Our police car is not as good as your car. Can you let her take your car down the mountain?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± The provincial government had helped ther his time, so Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attitude towards them was very amiable.

    ¡°Then thank you. Come, Wang Liu, take this car down the mountain..¡±

    Wang Liu had been brought to Dongshan Vige by the traffickers the previous day. The people in the provincial office were quite particr. They were afraid of offending Xia Wanyuan, so they specially asked Wang Liu to tidy herself up.

    Her bare face could not hide her youthful beauty. Under therge police uniform, she looked very charming.

    The people in the provincial office opened the car door and Wang Liu got into the car. She said timidly, ¡°Thank you, Sister, for saving me. If not for you, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have had a chance to live now.¡±

    Thinking of her miserable life after being kidnapped, Wang Liu¡¯s eyes could not help but overflow with tears.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Isn¡¯t it fine now?¡± Xia Wanyuan saw that she was crying pitifully andforted her.

    Wang Liu looked up at Xia Wanyuan, but her gaze was snatched away by the powerful and extremely handsome man beside her. Wang Liu was stunned for a moment before looking away.

    ¡°Thank you, Sister,¡± Wang Liu whispered.

    Jun Shiling hated being in the same car as others, but he hade in a hurry. There was only a good SUV on the mountain.

    Seemingly sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s emotions, Xia Wanyuan held his hand and leaned against him. Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her into his arms.

    ¡°Sleep for a while. I¡¯ll wake you up when we get down the mountain.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and surrounded by his aura, Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep. Wang Liu turned around and secretly nced at her side. She saw the gentle-looking Jun Shiling carefully protecting Xia Wanyuan, afraid that she would not sleep well.

    That was how humans were. When they fell into a hopeless situation, they felt that they had no other goals in life if they could be saved. However, once they were in a safe environment, they forgot the pain of struggling to survive and began to have other thoughts.

    Wang Liu was sitting less than a meter away from Jun Shiling. Looking at such a powerful and handsome person wearing a watch that could rival an entire suite in Beijing, Wang Liu¡¯s eyes flickered.

    Wang Liu had not lived in a good environment since she was young. She had always wanted to change her fate by finding a rich man, so she had always wanted to integrate into the rich.

    Unfortunately, her family environment was average, and the people around her were of the same standard. She heard that she could meet many rich people online, so she posted many posts online.

    She had sessfully hooked up with a ¡°rich second-generation heir¡± online. The Moments of this ¡°rich second-generation heir¡± were all luxury cars. Wang Liu, who had never paid attention to these things, also knew the names of many luxury goods.

    After reaching a certain extent, this rich second-generation heir asked her out to meet him. Upon meeting him, she realized that the so-called ¡°rich second-generation heir¡± was actually a scam. From beginning to end, the person who had been flirting with her online was a middle-aged woman.

    When she realized that something was wrong and wanted to run, it was already toote. The other party hade prepared.

    Now that she saw Jun Shiling, who really exuded the aura of a rich person, her heart stirred.

    ¡°Thank you this-¡± Wang Liu turned around, wanting to speak to Jun Shiling.

    Just as she spoke, Jun Shiling looked up and gave her a warning look. The coldness in his eyes made a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.

    Wang Liu¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was a little abrupt in the quiet car. Xia Wanyuan, who was originally sleeping, moved in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling frowned and gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder tofort her.

    Wang Liu was shocked when she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and actions.

    <i>Why is he so rich, so good-looking, and so good-tempered?!</i>

    However, that nce just now made her heart tremble. She did not dare to speak anymore and sat obediently in the car.

    The car finally got off the mountain and drove to the airport. The moment Wang Liu saw the private ne, his eyes lit up.

    She felt that this person was very rich, but she did not expect him to be so rich.

    Wang Liu excitedly followed Xia Wanyuan and the rest.

    However, Jun Shiling suddenly stopped in his tracks.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°She can¡¯t go in.¡± Jun Shiling frowned. Letting this person follow them down the mountain was already his limit.

    ¡°Sister, I promise I won¡¯t speak. I¡¯m afraid. I want to go with you.¡± Wang Liu looked at Xia Wanyuan pleadingly.

    A cold glint shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He nced at Shen Qian, who immediately understood and took out a few hundred dors. ¡°We¡¯ll send someone to escort you back to Beijing, Miss Wang. Don¡¯t worry about your safety. Buy a ticket and go back yourself.¡±

    Wang Liu had nevere into contact with a person like Jun Shiling before. She still wanted to get close to him. After all, which man was not an animal who thought with his lower body? She could easily seduce the men around her. She did not believe that she could not settle this person with her methods.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling and the rest were about to turn and leave, Wang Liu screamed ¡°Aiya¡± and fainted.

    Thest time, she had used this scheme to sessfully make a senior abandon his girlfriend and send her to the infirmary for treatment, even though she had dumped him after realizing that the senior was pretending to be rich.

    Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, no one came to help her. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw that no one was looking at her.

    Because Xia Wanyuan was wearing high heels, it was not convenient for her to go up the stairs. That extremely noble man actually picked her up directly. Wang Liu was about to go crazy with jealousy.

    <i>I¡¯m not bad looking. Why can¡¯t that man even look at me?!</i>

    ¡°Sister Xia!¡± Seeing that they were about to enter the ne, Wang Liu shouted in a hurry.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to turn around and take a look, but Jun Shiling carried her into the cabin. The door was closed, blocking Wang Liu¡¯s view.

    Shen Qian went to the guest cabin consciously. Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan in and sat down.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who provoked you again? You look so awful.¡±

    Jun Shiling took off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoes and sat on the sofa himself, acting as a human cushion for her.

    ¡°Hmph, can¡¯t you tell what that woman is thinking?¡± Jun Shiling switched on hisputer unhappily and handled thepany¡¯s matters.

    ¡°What thoughts? Did she take a fancy to the good-looking, rich, and good-tempered CEO Jun?¡± Xia Wanyuan found Jun Shiling¡¯s expression funny.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart fluttered at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. The corners of his lips curled up uncontrobly as he leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°So I¡¯m that outstanding in Madam¡¯s eyes?¡±

    ¡°No, you¡¯re a little better than what I said,¡± Xia Wanyuan said honestly.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Shen Qian pushed open the door and saw this scene. He was so frightened that he wanted to walk back.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling and pushed him away.

    ¡°CEO Xia, the guest cabin is filled with things. There¡¯s nowhere to sit. The staff asked me toe over.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s side profile, Shen Qian felt a little guilty.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Sit here then. We¡¯ll be arriving in Beijing soon anyway.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Only then did Shen Qian enter the main cabin and sit carefully on the stool at the side, not daring to sit on the sofa.

    Seeing that there was someone else present, Jun Shiling did not do anything else and focused on reading the documents. Xia Wanyuan found afortable position in his arms andy down.

    Sitting in the space with Jun Shiling, even Shen Qian, who felt that he had seen many storms, felt a little guilty and anxious. He looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold eyes.

    Shen Qian felt that he might as well go to the cabin and stay with the goods. At least he wouldn¡¯t have to suffer like this.

    Days passed like years. Finally, when the nended, Shen Qian hurriedly bade farewell and took a taxi to thepany. He didn¡¯t want to stay in the same car as them anymore.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were about to leave in a car when they met people from the Beijing police station. They were in charge of receiving Wang Liu, who had been saved at the airport.

    Wang Liu had bought thetest flight and arrived at the airport at the same time as Xia Wanyuan and the rest. The police had picked her up, but the youngdy was crying and making a scene. She insisted that she did not feel safe and had to follow Sister Xia, who had saved her.

    She did not do anything bad, and it was not convenient for the police to use any forceful means. They could only let her cause trouble, causing the crowd to start watching. They had no choice but to find Xia Wanyuan.

    Wang Liu was amazing too. In such a short time, she had borrowed cosmetics from someone and even put on light makeup. She was indeed a pretty person. She stood pitifully by the car, making the passers-by pity her.

    ¡°Sister Xia, I¡¯m scared. I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll be taken away again. Can you let me follow you? I promise I¡¯ll be very obedient. Please save me. Sister Xia, I know you¡¯re the kindest.¡± Wang Liu looked at Xia Wanyuan with tears in her eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her and didn¡¯t speak. Instead, Jun Shiling said, ¡°Since you want to follow, then follow. Go and sit in the car behind.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s deep and maic voice, joy shed across Wang Liu¡¯s eyes.

    <i>It was actually that noble man who asked me to stay!!!?</i>

    <i>It seemed that their rtionship was not as good as it looked!?</i>

    Although she could only sit behind with the bodyguards, Wang Liu was satisfied that she could go back with them.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and nced at Jun Shiling, agreeing with him. ¡°Then go and sit behind.¡±

    ¡°Thank you!!¡± Wang Liu walked back excitedly. The pitiful look on her face was gone, leaving the straight men in the police station stunned.

    The car started, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang at the right time. Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone.

    Five minutester, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m going to Qing University. Go back first.¡±

    ¡°Now?¡± Jun Shiling looked at the sky. It was almost sunset.

    ¡°Mm, Principal Yang wants to see me about something.¡± Principal Yang seemed to be in a hurry.

    ¡°I¡¯ll send you there and pick you upter.¡±

    Jun Shiling sent her to Qing University and watched Xia Wanyuan enter the school gate.

    The moment the car stopped, Wang Liu, who was behind, saw Xia Wanyuan leave the car. She opened the door herself, stood in front of Jun Shiling¡¯s car window, and knocked on it.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m a little carsick. Can you take me to rest?¡± Wang Liu looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile, and her heart skipped a beat.

    Jun Shiling turned his head slightly and nced at her. At that moment, Wang Liu felt that she could not hide anything from him.

    ¡°Sure. Go back and sit. I¡¯ll bring you there.¡±

    ¡°Okay, you¡¯re the best. Thank you.¡± Wang Liu smiled happily. Her youthful face coupled with a bright smile was very alluring.

    Jun Shiling looked at the time.. He should be able to pick Xia Wanyuan up in a while, so he instructed the chauffeur, ¡°Go to Prison Seven.¡±

    At the entrance of Prison 7, Bo Xiao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Jun Shiling walk over, he hurriedly waved.

    To Bo Xiao¡¯s surprise, ady walked out of the car behind Jun Shiling. She was a pretty girl.

    ¡°This is?¡± Bo Xiao looked at Jun Shiling yfully.?<i>Tsk, I must tell Sister-inw.?</i>

    Before Jun Shiling could speak, Wang Liu had already greeted Bo Xiao first. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Wang Liu. This gentleman is a good person and brought me here to rest.¡±

    Prison 7 had always been for vicious and heavy criminals. This ce was very hidden. From the outside, it even looked like an ordinary resort hidden in the flowers and green leaves. Wang Liu could not tell where she was.

    ¡°You¡¯re here to rest?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s expression was a little strange. His fox-like eyes curled up. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go in together.¡±

    When Wang Liu followed Jun Shiling and gradually walked in, she realized that something was wrong. The security inside was extremely tight, and there was no movement at all. asionally, someone chained up would walk past with a shockingly fierce face.

    ¡°I feel much better. Let¡¯s go out.¡± Wang Liu¡¯s voice trembled, but Jun Shiling did not stop at all. In the end, he stood in front of the innermost room. The guard opened the door for them and they were greeted with a strong smell of blood.

    ¡°He spoke?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Amongst this group of people, he¡¯s the only one who has seen King before, but he¡¯s the only one who¡¯s stubborn. He hasn¡¯t revealed a word until now.¡± Bo Xiao gestured into the house.

    ¡°Continue asking.¡± Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, the person chained in the room suddenly screamed.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Wang Liu crawled towards Jun Shiling fearfully. She stood rooted to the ground in shock when he nced at her.

    Jun Shiling strode forward and sat on the chair in the middle. He calmly watched as the people in the room were tortured. Wang Liu listened to this scream and looked at the nauseating flesh and blood. She trembled uncontrobly.

    Jun Shiling sat for three minutes, then stood up. ¡°This person won¡¯t say anything. Get rid of him and throw him back to the Golden Triangle.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The person beside him lowered his head respectfully.

    Jun Shiling stood up to leave and looked at the frightened Wang Liu. ¡°Let her stay here for five hours before letting her out.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Jun Shiling strode out of the room. Wang Liu, who was behind him, wanted to stop him, but he was brought back by the guards. They pressed her down on a chair and she watched for five hours how they interrogated these sinners.

    Five hourster, Wang Liu was finally released from the door. At that moment, she was vomiting until her galldder was about to break. Her eyes were filled with fear and her entire body trembled.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In Principal Yang¡¯s office.

    ¡°It¡¯s really hard on you. Time is tight. This is also considered a matter of glory for the country, right? I¡¯ll have to trouble you,¡± Principal Yang said to Xia Wanyuan in embarrassment.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Can I hand it in the day after tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Principal Yang nodded.

    The Asian Youth Painter Exchange had suddenly begun. It was already toote when China received the news. There were also some works of young painters in the country that could be sent over for exchange, butpared to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s, they were still far inferior.

    A few years ago, the champion of the Youth Painter Conference had been taken away by Cherry Blossoms. With Yuan Wanxia around this year, there should be no problem.

    ¡°Dad, hurry up. Mom is waiting.¡± Suddenly, a young man in a cap and a ck T-shirt pushed open the door.

    Seeing that there was someone in Principal Yang¡¯s office, the young man hurriedly retreated. Halfway through, he suddenly looked up at the guest sitting on the sofa.

    Yang Yue looked at the goddess he could only see on the poster every day and then looked at his father. He hesitated.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Since she had finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan picked up her bag, put on her mask, and walked out.

    It was unknown what Yang Yue was thinking, but he did not look at the goddess he had been thinking about all night and day.

    After Xia Wanyuan gradually walked away, Yang Yue stammered, ¡°Dad, did you cause a problem?¡±

    Seeing Principal Yang¡¯s expression, Yang Yue knew that he had thought wrongly. He hurriedly chuckled and leaned forward. ¡°Dad, why is my goddess here? Is the Qing University inviting her to some g? Can you give me an internal ticket?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat. Don¡¯t force me to knock on your head in school.¡±

    ¡°Pft.¡± Yang Li made a face at Principal Yang. He regretted not asking Xia Wanyuan for an autograph just now.<i>?What a loss.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After a trip to Dongshan Vige, the song that she was preparing to rehearse for ¡°Singer¡± was dyed. Xia Wanyuan told Tang Yin and agreed to rehearse tomorrow.

    After leaving the school, she saw the familiar Phantom waiting by the roadside. Xia Wanyuan got into the car.

    After two days of tossing and turning, she finally returned home. Xia Wanyuan stretchedzily. She could have a good sleep.

    ¡°Mommy!!¡± Hearing the sound of a car outside, Xiao Bao ran out of the house and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg. ¡°I missed you.¡±

    ¡°Good boy.¡± Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s soft hair. ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay!!¡± Xiao Bao pulled Xia Wanyuan happily. Jun Shiling had beenpletely ignored. Seeing that neither of them showed any signs of wanting to wait for him, Jun Shiling could only enter the house himself.

    Not only did no one wait for him to eat, but when he returned to the manor, the warm and soft treatment in his arms was gone. Jun Shiling looked at the small version of himself that had upied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, his eyes filled with bitterness.

    Lying on the bed, Xiao Bao pestered Xia Wanyuan to tell him a story. Jun Shiling sent a message to Bo Xiao.

    This was the first time Jun Shiling had sent him a message on WeChat. At first, Bo Xiao thought that something big had happened, but when he picked it up, he saw that it was from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Do you have a way to let Jun Yin sleep in separate rooms with us?¡±

    A mischievous smile appeared on Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes.?<i>Tsk, tsk. Does he think that the little dumpling is in the way now? Why didn¡¯t hein in the past? Men!?</i>

    ¡°Yes, but¡­¡± Bo Xiao sent a few words.

    ¡°You can pick up thetest Deity sports car yourself,¡± Jun Shiling replied very directly.

    ¡°Deal!!¡± Bo Xiao held his phone and sighed. ¡°Little Cutie, it¡¯s not that your Uncle Bo Xiao doesn¡¯t love you. It¡¯s just that the Deity sports car is too tempting.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In an ancient castle on the other side of the ocean, the gray-haired man looked at the various news photos sent by the email. His fingertips trembled.

    ¡°Lawrence, do you think this little girl looks like me?¡±

    The man looked at the smiling face in the picture with a deep gaze, as if he was missing someone through this picture.

    The butler, who was dressed in exquisite clothes, looked at the picture seriously and nodded. ¡°They really look alike, especially the eyes.¡±

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s been so many years. I never expected to see this child again.¡±

    Lawrence handed the man a handkerchief. ¡°What are you going to do?¡±

    ¡°I want to change my will.¡± The man¡¯s words made the butler look up in shock.

    <i>Th-this change of the will would probably cause a storm of blood.?</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s still morefortable to sleep at home.¡± After a good sleep, Xia Wanyuan stretchedzily. However, when she looked up, she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s resentful gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan found it funny. Thinking about it, she did seem to have neglected him yesterday because of Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao was packing his bag downstairs when Xia Wanyuan hooked her finger at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling walked over.

    Xia Wanyuan kissed him hard on the cheek. ¡°CEO Jun, smile. You look so pale in the morning.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly. ¡°I thought you had forgotten me.¡±

    ¡°Can you take me to work?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. No matter how unhappy Jun Shiling was, he gradually smiled under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright eyes.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling personally sent her to the studio. Xia Wanyuan wanted to get out of the car, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°Can you not talk to that younger brother about anything other than work?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan hesitantly.

    He knew in his heart that nothing would happen between Xia Wanyuan and that little carrot, but he could not help but want to remind her.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up.<i>?This person was really¡­?</i>¡°Alright, I¡¯ll only chat with you, okay? I¡¯m going to bete. Let go.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan and watched her walk into the recording building.

    Fang Jin still lookedzy. Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, he handed a script to her. ¡°I wrote a song these two days. Do you think this is suitable?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at it seriously and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. The next episode¡¯s theme is summer. Let¡¯s use this song you wrote. Let¡¯s practice it a few times.¡±

    Fang Jin¡¯s song was filled with the passion and vigor of summer. The dance teacher had choreographed the dance moves for them ording to this song. She had thought that it would take at least a day for the two of them to familiarize themselves with the movements. Who would have thought that the two of them had extremely solid skills and quickly grasped all the details of the movements?

    In just half a day, the tacit understanding between the two of them was developed. The dance teacher went through it and gave an evaluation at the end.

    ¡°Perfect.¡±

    When it was time for lunch, the cold and cheerless Fang Jin actually took the initiative to invite Xia Wanyuan to eat with him.

    Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

    Fang Jin looked Asian, but he seemed to be more used to western food. Xia Wanyuan nced at his awkward expression when he used his chopsticks, and a glint shed across her eyes.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you grow up in China?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked casually.

    ¡°No, I grew up in America.¡±

    ¡°Then why did youe to China?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that although Fang Jin lookedzy, his every move had a good upbringing. He did not seem to be a professional at the bar.

    His upbringing had deep confidence.

    ¡°I¡¯m looking for a rtive,¡± Fang Jin nced at Xia Wanyuan and said quickly, then lowered his head to eat and did not speak anymore.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t probe further. Her phone rang. Xia Wanyuan picked it up andughed.

    After agreeing to eat with Fang Jin, Xia Wanyuan sent Jun Shiling a message and reported it in case he misunderstood again.

    Jun Shiling had only sent a ¡°Mm, okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan had thought that this person had improved and he was not angry.

    Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable urge tough when she saw the familiar emoticon of a cat that he had sent her on WeChat.

    Furthermore, Jun Shiling was afraid that Xia Wanyuan did not know that he was unhappy, so he sent three emoticons that the cats turned around and ignored her.

    Xia Wanyuan replied with an emoticon of patting a cat¡¯s head.

    Jun Shiling still replied with a cat turning around.

    ¡°I¡¯m done eating. I¡¯m leaving first. Let¡¯s rehearse for another day before thepetition,¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone and said to Fang Jin.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fang Jin nodded. After Xia Wanyuan left, he made a call. ¡°Hello, I ate with her today. She has excellent upbringing. I can tell that she¡¯s very outstanding.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan came out of the canteen and thought about what she had on hand. She felt that she should finish the painting that she wanted to hand to Principal Yang first.

    Sitting in the car waiting outside, Xia Wanyuan looked at the emoticon Jun Shiling had sent her. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Jun Corporation.¡±

    Although he knew that Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with that young man, the moment Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan say that she had gone to eat with him, he felt sour in his heart. He didn¡¯t even want to eat anymore.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not reply, Jun Shiling pushed the food aside and picked up the document to read it again.

    ¡°Are you a child? Why are you throwing a tantrum?¡± The door was pushed open and a light voice came from the door.

    Jun Shiling looked up in surprise and saw Xia Wanyuan walk in.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jun Shiling hurriedly stood up. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat with your brother partner?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not weed? Then I¡¯ll leave?¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to turn around. Jun Shiling hurriedly pulled her into his arms. ¡°You¡¯re weed,e and eat with me.¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan by his side, Jun Shiling ate in peace.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already finished my rehearsal. I¡¯ll draw here in the afternoon. I¡¯ll apany you. Don¡¯t be unhappy, okay?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling still had a bitter expression on his face, Xia Wanyuan smiled andforted him.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were dyed with warmth. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was like she was coaxing a child.

    For the first time, he felt like he was being pampered.

    However, this feeling was not bad.

    Uncle Wang sent someone to send the ink and paper over. Jun Shiling¡¯s huge office finally had a use.

    Xia Wanyuan was painting at the desk by the window while Jun Shiling was handling various documents and proposals at the desk.

    In order not to disturb Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, Jun Shiling did not even switch on hisputer. The ink was dark, and a faint ink fragrance lingered in the office.

    Jun Shiling asionally got up to pour Xia Wanyuan a ss of water and ced it by the table. Time passed minute by minute, and soon, it was sunset.

    Xia Wanyuan finally put down her brush. She took a deep breath. ¡°It¡¯s finally done.¡±

    ¡°Let me see. What did you draw?¡± Jun Shiling put down the documents and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. He was stunned when he saw it.

    Mountains rose and fell, rivers ran without end, and trees grew without restraint. When one looked up, they would see all the rivers and mountains in front of them.

    The most eye-catching thing was that in the ce where the morning sun rose, a figure stood on the cliff. It was as if he was riding the wind, but also as if he was stepping on mountains and rivers.

    Needless to say, the excellent technique of the entire painting was amazing. Just the aura that pounced on them was amazing.

    ¡°This person?¡± Jun Shiling looked at the person in the painting and whispered.

    ¡°You.¡± The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Are you happy, jealous CEO Jun? We can secretly show off our love in front of the world?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 476: Can¡¯t Help It Anymore</h4>

    Jun Shiling suddenly looked up at Xia Wanyuan, feeling an inexplicable feeling.

    ¡°Are you still jealous?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    However, Jun Shiling did not speak. He only nced at himself on the paper and then at Xia Wanyuan.

    Suddenly, he reached out and carried her into the resting room.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you doing? This is the office.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling, but she realized that he was in an especially agitated state and she could not move him at all.

    ¡°You promised me. You let me bully you after you came back.¡± Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan, his heart filled with endless warmth.

    ¡°But you can¡¯t do it in the office. Get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan struggled twice, but it only ignited Jun Shiling¡¯s mes.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no one wille to the office. I can¡¯t help it anymore. I want you now.¡± Jun Shiling pressed against Xia Wanyuan like a fire, causing her face to turn red.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something more, but Jun Shiling swallowed her.

    The sun set in the west, and the setting sun shone warmly through the window. The warm yellow sun gradually sank to the horizon, and the moon slowly climbed into the sky. The lights in the entire city flickered.

    ¡°I¡¯m going home. Jun Shiling, if youe again, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore.¡± In the dim lounge, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was a little hoarse.

    A chuckle sounded. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go home.¡±

    The lounge in Jun Shiling¡¯s office was no different from a normal bedroom. There were a few clothes that Xia Wanyuan had left in the wardrobe.

    Jun Shiling brought over the clothes and helped Xia Wanyuan put them on one by one. Then, he wrapped her in a suit and carried her horizontally.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve worked hard. I¡¯ll serve you home.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, but she only gently expressed her displeasure.

    Jun Shiling, who was full, was not angry at all. He carried her home happily.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan sent the painting to Qing University and went straight to the recording studio of ¡°China Poetry Meet¡±.

    Tang Yin and Chen Yun had already been waiting for her at the venue for a long time.

    ¡°My little ancestor, where did you go? Why are you only here now? It¡¯s about to start. The director was just asking if you weren¡¯ting.¡±

    ¡°I had something on and was dyed.¡± Speaking of which, it was funny. After Principal Yang chatted with her about the international exchange for a while, he actually took out her Wanfeng album and asked her to sign it because his son liked her.

    ¡°Why are you here too?¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan was speaking, she saw a silver-haired Mu Feng walk over with an impatient expression.

    ¡°Beauty, you¡¯re too slow. The amount of time I spent waiting for you is enough to take a nap.¡± Mu Feng flipped his long hair, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Do I need to specially put on makeup to attend this?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the box in Mu Feng¡¯s hand and was a little puzzled.

    Mu Feng pursed his lips. Clearly, he was impatient from waiting and did not want to talk to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and tidy you up simply.¡±

    The few of them walked to the backstage together. The waiting hall was already filled with people. Seeing this group of people with heaven-defying looks walk in, everyone¡¯s eyes were a littleplicated.

    Especially when they saw Xia Wanyuan sitting in the corner with a pile of cosmetics in Mu Feng¡¯s hand and he started to put on makeup for her, the expressions on everyone¡¯s faces became even more strange.

    The people sitting on the stage were all champions of the group stages who had fought their way out of the preliminary round and stood out from the elites of the various group stages.

    Everyone had foundation. Even when they were waiting for thepetition, they had books on hand.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had actually brought a makeup artist to participate in thepetition, many people did not say anything, but in their hearts, they looked down on Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>What was the inte bragging about? It seemed like she was nothing much. She was indeed a celebrity. Her marketing skills were really good. She only knew a few poems and she was already bragging about being the one and only genius.</i>

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. Celebrities nowadays are really extravagant. They actually treat the recording studio as their private dressing room.¡±

    A man in his forties with sses looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully and was speechless. ¡°Young people nowadays are too impetuous. You¡¯re even participating in ¡®The Poetry Meet¡¯ now. It¡¯s simply tarnishing the purity of literature.¡±

    The recording studio had originally been very quiet because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival. This man did not hide his voice at all, so these words were like a stone thrown into a clearke.

    Many people covered their mouths and secretlyughed. Some people also frowned at this person¡¯s words, but they had never known Xia Wanyuan before, so they did not want to get involved in this mess.

    Xia Wanyuan had originally closed her eyes to let Mu Feng brush her eyshes. Hearing this, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person who spoke, her eyes cold.

    ¡°This¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan paused, as if she was seriously considering this person¡¯s age. ¡°Old Sir? It looks like you¡¯re 60 years old. You actually came to participate in the same program as me. I wonder how high your pure literary achievement is?¡±

    The middle-aged man was first angered by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words about him being sixty years old.?<i>I¡¯m only a little bald. Was this woman blind? What did she mean by ¡®old sir¡¯?</i>

    When he heard Xia Wanyuan mention literary achievements, his face turned pale. He was already forty years old and had been an old schr for half his life, but he had no results.

    This person shouted at Xia Wanyuan with a pale face, ¡°His achievements aren¡¯t high, but he¡¯s better than you. An actress actually used literature and poetry to hype herself up. How shameless. She¡¯s really tarnishing the virtues..¡±

    Seeing how angered this person was, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore.

    It seemed that no matter what era it was, there were always people who felt good and were especially stubborn.

    ¡°You should think about whether you can pass thispetition,¡± Xia Wanyuan said before turning around and ignoring him.

    Mu Feng took the makeup brush and stood in front of Xia Wanyuan, blocking the others from sizing her up.

    ¡°Alright, everyone, get ready. We¡¯re about to press the number to carry out a personal challenge. It¡¯s Chen Gang, number 1. It¡¯s your turn to go on stage.¡±

    The front was already prepared. The staff stood at the door and shouted. Chen Gang, who had just provoked Xia Wanyuan, hurriedly stood up. ¡°Hey, okay, I¡¯ll go now.¡±

    Five minutester, Chen Gang walked backstage smugly.

    For this round of recording, first, every contestant would participate in the challenge themselves. Only those who seeded in the challenge could participate in the next PKpetition.

    Chen Gang had studied for so many years and had read a lot. Even though the questions for the poetry meet were a little difficult, he still answered 15 of the 20 questions.

    ording to the past contestants and the difficulty of the poetry meet, being able to answer 15 questions was already considered an outstanding result.

    Following that, a few more contestants went. One of them did not pass the individual challenge and stopped here. He came back crying.

    ¡°Why are you crying? Anyway, there will still be someone who will apany you in the elimination. The two of you can still be partners.¡± Chen Gang, who had obtained a better result, looked at Xia Wanyuan with a sense of superiority.

    Xia Wanyuan and Mu Fengpletely ignored his words and busied themselves with their own matters. Chen Gang asked for trouble and felt aggrieved. He was waiting to see how Xia Wanyuan would be chased off the stage.

    ¡°Alright, number 8, Xia Wanyuan, prepare to go on stage.¡±

    At that moment, Mu Feng had just finished thest stroke. He looked at his masterpiece in satisfaction. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going back to sleep. Bye.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng left with the box. Xia Wanyuan, who had been blocked behind him, finally appeared in front of everyone.

    She was still wearing the apricot-colored clothes that she had just entered, but the feeling of her entire person seemed to be different. Everyone could not tell what was different. After all, she had such facial features just now and was equally beautiful.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked to the recording studio.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful back view, everyone suddenly reacted.

    <i>That¡¯s right! Her entire temperament seemed to have be very amiable in her eyes. Furthermore, she gave people a feeling of iparable wisdom. Just by standing quietly, it made people feel that she was graceful and magnanimous, and she was well-read in poetry.</i>

    Five minutester, Xia Wanyuan returned to the waiting room. Seeing her cold expression, Chen Gang scoffed and guessed that she must have failed.

    Chen Gang scoffed. ¡°Actress, go back and film properly. Don¡¯t destroy a domain that you don¡¯t understand at all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored him directly and sat quietly in her seat, chatting on WeChat with Jun Shiling.

    Not long after, everyone¡¯s personal challenges had ended and all the contestants were called to the recording hall.

    ¡°I¡¯m very happy that most people have just passed the individual challenge segment. There are also two people who regretfully stopped. Now, we will announce the people who sessfully passed the individual challenge.¡±

    The host looked at the results card and was surprised. He even turned around and asked if there was a mistake.

    After receiving the answer, the host looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    ¡°First, let us congratte Xia Wanyuan for passing with full marks.¡±

    ????!!!!

    All the contestants were shocked. After all, they had just been in the waiting room and did not know what was happening at the front desk.

    Meanwhile, the audience was very calm. This was because they had just seen Xia Wanyuan effortlessly answer the twenty questions.

    Chen Gang, who had been mocking Xia Wanyuan, looked at her in shock when he heard the host.

    <i>Could it be that she really has some skills?!</i>

    Before the participants could react, the real peak battle of the recording began.

    The winner of this semi-finals would be chosen amongst these eight contestants through three rounds of PK.

    Melodious music sounded. The staff led the eight contestants to their seats and the host began to read the questions.

    ¡°Please listen to the question. What were the two idioms, sunny spring, white snow and popr folk songs, originally referring to? A, article B, painting

    C, melody¡­

    Almost instantly, the red light in front of Xia Wanyuan lit up with a ¡°C¡±.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer is correct!¡±

    ¡°Next question, the article is ancient, only the heart knows what they gained or lost. Whose famous sentence is it? A. Li Bai B. Du Fu.¡±

    ¡°B¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer is correct!¡±

    ¡­

    Some of the audience had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s magical operations in the previous episode.

    This was the first time her opponents had seen Xia Wanyuan react so quickly and move so quickly. Many people panicked, and the more they panicked, the more they could not calm down and think.

    Xia Wanyuan answered all ten questions correctly without any hesitation.

    The faces of the opponents turned green, and the production team was shocked. In the second round, they directly changed the difficulty of the questions.

    This time, not only was it about poetry, but it also involved astronomy and geography, including all kinds of knowledge.

    ¡°The stone lions in front of the doors of ancient pces are usually: A. left male, right female B. left female, right male.¡±

    ¡°Which word below ismonly used as the fifth in order? A. Wu B. Shu C. Xu.¡±

    ¡­

    This bunch of baffling questions stunned the audience. The contestants who were challenging were also stunned.?<i>Wasn¡¯t it a poetry meet? Why did astronomy and geography suddenlye?</i>

    Only Xia Wanyuan was calm. Before the audience could understand the question, red lights lit up again and again.

    Then, everyone heard ¡°Xia Wanyuan answered correctly¡± time and time again.

    In the end, the entire hall kept reverberating with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name.

    ¡°After today¡¯spetition, let us calcte the scores.¡± The host had done so many programs, but none had nearly made him lose hisposure like today.

    <i>Is there a need to calcte?!</i>

    Xia Wanyuan directly scored 1000 points, while the rest scored zero.

    This was simply the strangest contestant he had ever encountered in the history of hosting and the strangestpetition.

    After the recording ended, Xia Wanyuan won the semi-finals champion unsurprisingly and sessfully advanced to the finals.

    Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance on the live broadcast television program and the inte tform directly caused the viewership ratings of this program to soar.

    Discussions about Xia Wanyuan also swept through all the major tforms.

    ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡± had been held for many episodes, and there had been many talented big shots who had been popr. However, none of them answered without hesitation like Xia Wanyuan without a mistake.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answering was too smooth, as if she had memorized the answer beforehand.

    [ Emmmm, although it¡¯s a national television station, I can¡¯t help but ask, is there really no conspiracy? ]

    [ Something too perfect looks a little fake, but I can¡¯t figure out why the national television station would fake it for Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m speechless. ]

    [ Do you have evidence? You¡¯re talking nonsense here. If she really has high standards when the timees, won¡¯t you p your faces swollen? ]

    [ Pfft, look at those questions. They cover everything. If Xia Wanyuan is really so amazing, why didn¡¯t Qing University invite her to be a professor? I¡¯m dying ofughter. ]

    Theizens discussed among themselves, but the national television station was still the national television station after all, so its prestige was still there. In addition, theizens were only guessing and did not have any concrete evidence. These words were ultimately just suspicions.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan left Dongshan Vige, the vige officials there had all changed. The vigers¡¯ habit of believing in God for a long time could not be changed in a short time, so Shen Qian got that sorcerer to be in charge of delivering news in the vige.

    The project progressed very smoothly. The mountain that had been closed for so many years finally began to open up.

    Because this vige was about to connect to the outside world, the Ning Yuan Fund worked with the country to build a small school in Dongshan Vige. Because the Ning Yuan Fund gave them a high allowance, they recruited one or two teachers to teach the children in the mountains.

    Due to the incident in Dongshan Vige, the country had also solved arge kidnapping case and arrested Wang Xiuzhi, who had been hiding outside for a long time. As the hero of this sessful case, the Ning Yuan Fund had also been reported by the news media.

    When theizens saw this news, they had a preliminary impression of the Ning Yuan Fund. However, social news was not as attractive as melons in the entertainment industry. Everyone liked it and left without paying much attention.

    When she returned to the manor after the recording, it was already veryte. Xia Wanyuan ate, washed up, and prepared to sleep.

    When shey on the bed, she waited for a while but did not see Xiao Bao. Instead, Jun Shiling walked in.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xiao Bao?¡±

    ¡°The child is old. It¡¯s time for him to sleep on his own.¡± Jun Shiling lifted the nket and hugged Xia Wanyuan. He sighed in satisfaction.

    After so long, he could finally enjoy his alone time with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What did you tell him??¡± Xia Wanyuan was puzzled. ¡°Isn¡¯t Xiao Bao afraid of little monsters?¡±

    ¡°Did you believe him just because he said he was afraid?¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head.

    How could Jun Shiling¡¯s son be so timid? Jun Yin was just finding an excuse to sleep with his parents.

    However, Bo Xiao did have a way. He brought Jun Yin around and said something to him. When Xiao Bao returned to the manor, he took the initiative to ask to sleep alone.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take a look.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little worried. She pushed Jun Shiling away and walked to the bedroom beside her.

    The room was lit with a gentle light. Xiao Bao was already asleep. It was unknown what he had dreamed of, but he had a smile on his face. Seeing that Xiao Bao was sleeping soundly, Xia Wanyuan was relieved.

    When she returned to the master bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was hugged by Jun Shiling the moment she entered the nket.

    ¡°I can finally hug you to sleep properly. Goodnight.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her, his arms warm and soft.

    <i>A Deity sports car was really worth the exchange.?</i>

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was tired from filming, Jun Shiling only hugged her quietly and did not torture her anymore.

    Surrounded by the cold pine fragrance on Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan found afortable position in his arms and slept soundly.

    Since she was filming ¡°Singer¡± today, Xia Wanyuan went to the television building at Watermelon tform after breakfast.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this our Big Star Xia who knows everything? Who is her partner today?¡± Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan with eyes filled with ridicule.

    Bai Lian had told her long ago that Xia Wanyuan was just an ignorant and ipetent student who had failed ainuniversity.

    <i>How could someone who could not even memorize Quiet Night Thoughts properly get a perfect score in ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡±? It was simply too funny. She must have spent money to buy the answer.?</i>

    Lin Xuan and Bai Lian had already gotten someone to investigate and find the evidence. After confirming that Xia Wanyuan had bribed the television station to cheat, they would see what ability she had to put on an aloof expression.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored Lin Xuan¡¯s words and did not even bother to look at her.

    ¡°Here.¡± Seeing Fang Jin enter the hall, Xia Wanyuan waved at him.

    Seeing the little boy in a white T-shirt walk in, Lin Xuan almostughed out loud. She had thought that Xia Wanyuan was very capable to find an unknown child to partner with her.

    Xia Wanyuan had been filming with Yan Ci recently. She was afraid that she would be doomed if Xia Wanyuan found Yan Ci to be her partner, so she had spent a lot of effort to finally get thepany to invite Bo Yi.

    Now that she saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s partner was actually an immature child, Lin Xuan immediately felt that she had definitely won today¡¯spetition.

    At that moment, there was amotion in the recording hall. Lin Xuan looked at the door and tidied her hair. ¡°Bo Yi, this way.¡±

    In the industry, Bo Yi had the image of a rich young master in the entertainment industry. Everyone knew that he was a child of the Bo family. In addition, he was good-looking, so wherever he went, there were countless fans screaming.

    Bo Yi walked towards Lin Xuan. Sensing theplicated gazes of envy and jealousy from the others, Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan smugly and realized that she did not notice her at all and was discussing the contents of the song with Fang Jin.

    Time gradually passed. The participants of the group went on stage and performed with their partners under the spotlight.

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not like Lin Xuan, she had to admit that she had a solid foundation. In addition, with the support of Bo Yi, the popr celebrity, the two of them danced and sang, which attracted a lot of attention.

    The judges gave them very high marks.

    Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin were thest to go on stage. Fang Jin¡¯s song was about the summer season. The style that Mu Feng had designed for Xia Wanyuan was different from the usual style.

    The moment the two of them went on stage, they grabbed the attention of the judges and the audience. Xia Wanyuan was like the most enthusiastic flower in the summer, while Fang Jin was like a little fruit with a hint of innocence on the branch.

    Fang Jin¡¯s voice was maic with a hint of a young man¡¯s, while Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was clearer. The two of them first sang alone, then harmonized, bringing everyone into a summer afternoon with chirping insects and birds, and flowing water.

    In the intoxicated state of the judges and audience, three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. When the performance ended, the judges looked at each other. Amidst the loud cheers of the audience behind them, they directly scored full marks.

    ¡°Singer¡± was recorded, and it would only be released on television after editing.

    Watermelon tform knew where the audience¡¯s focus was, so before the program could be broadcasted, in the trailer of ¡°The Singer,¡± Watermelon tform cut Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan together.

    In the preview, Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin were chatting about songs while Lin Xuan and Bo Yi stood by the side.

    With Bo Yi¡¯s supporting Lin Xuan, and previous rumors about Xia Wanyuan and Bo Yi. Now that Bo Yi was the opponent¡¯s partner, the scene of the four of them was filled with gunpowder.

    Just the number of views for the trailer was especially high. The audience was filled with anticipation for the new episode of I Am a Singer.

 Chapter 480 - Yuan Wanxias Melon

    <h4>Chapter 480: Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Melon</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Theizens waited excitedly for ¡°Singer¡± ¡®s melon. In the end, Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan didn¡¯t get to eat the melon, but a melon about Yuan Wanxia appeared.

    In the Asian circle, due to themonality of culture, there were all sorts of exchange activities every year. Theizens did not know much about these professional activities, and not many people paid attention to them every year.

    This year¡¯s Asian Youth Painter Exchange had just ended. When holding such a young person¡¯s painting and calligraphy exhibition, no one in the world of painting and calligraphy had expected any outstanding works to appear. They only wanted to find some good seedlings to continue nurturing.

    In Asia, the culture of painting and calligraphy in China, Cherry Blossom Country, and Han Country developed the best.

    China¡¯s historical culture had a long history, but in recent years, China¡¯s culture had declined the most. Many young people admired Western popr culture and neglected their traditional culture.

    In the past few years, most of the works from China had been dull andckluster at the youth painting and calligraphy exhibition. For five consecutive years, the champion title of the exchange had been taken by people from Peach Blossom Country.

    However, there was a surprise at this year¡¯s exchange. The champion was taken by someone from China.

    When the news reached China, a news website reported this news.

    Theizens casually looked at it.<i>?Not bad, not bad. The young people in China are quite amazing. I¡¯ll like it. (</i>

    In any case, theizens did not know anything about painting and calligraphy. After liking it, they were about to leave, but some meticulousizens poked into the award winners list.

    Champion¡ªChina¡ªYuan Wanxia.

    <i>F*ck, Yuan Wanxia??</i>

    Theizens who saw the familiar name were a little puzzled. They looked at the title ¡°International Youth Painter Exchange¡± and took a screenshot to post on Weibo.

    ¡°Is this Yuan Wanxia from the youth exchange meet the Yuan Wanxia we know?¡±

    [¡­ No way. Isn¡¯t this written about the youth painting exchange? ]

    [ Someone must have imitated Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s name to participate in thepetition. That¡¯s too much. Can¡¯t you give yourself a name? ]

    [ Could there be a mistake? Yuan Wanxia couldn¡¯t attend the youth painting exchange. ]

    heizens followed the link given by the news and found the website for the meet. Then, they saw the list of winners and award-winning works hanging on the website.

    Someizens took a screenshot of Yuan Wanxia¡¯s work and posted it on Weibo.

    Even though this ink painting named ¡°King Looks at the World¡± was only a blurred screenshot, the mountains and rivers on the painting were extraordinary, as if the river would surge out in the next second.

    The person standing quietly at the peak of the mountain, even if it was just a side profile, made one feel as if they were a king looking down on the world. It perfectly matched the name of the painting.

    After seeing this picture, theizens were silent because everyone was very familiar with Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s style.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s strokes were experienced and there was elegance and indifference in her aura. Her personal style was extremely strong. One look and one could tell that this painting was written by Yuan Wanxia.

    This was a youth exchange meeting. When everyone saw that the work was submitted to the unit, they were even more speechless.

    <i>It would be fine if no one abroad discovered it, but if they were discovered, wouldn¡¯t they be embarrassing China? They actually chose a master-level piece of work to attend the youth exchange and even won the championship. Seriously.?</i>

    The Chineseizens went to the official Weibo of Qing University.

    [ Are you toxic? ]

    [ Did Qing University make a mistake? This is too embarrassing. Hurry up and withdraw. ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. It¡¯s not your fault if you can¡¯t win the championship. Isn¡¯t it too much to fake things like this? ]

    China¡¯s Weibo and the external Inte were separated. Everyone scolded the Qing University for not doing things well in China, but there was no movement on the external Inte. Everyone just thought that China had finally produced a talented young man over the years.

    Old Madam Wei had been looking for Xia Wanyuan frequently recently. Xia Wanyuan was busy with work and had to postpone it a few times. Finally, she ended the recording of ¡°Singer¡±. After finding some time, she went to the Wei family.

    Every time Old Madam Wei looked for her, she would not speak much and just let Xia Wanyuan read the ount book with her.

    Xia Wanyuan had a good memory. Although she was not a businessman in her previous life, she controlled the world¡¯srgest tent. Every time Old Madam Wei handed her a pile of ount books and asked her to finish reading them in a day, she would always finish reading them in two hours.

    Old Madam Wei, who had never spoken much, praised Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to check ounts.

    ¡°Girl, what do you think of the Wei family?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had finished reading another ount book, Old Madam Wei suddenly asked.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the ount book. ¡°There is a deep foundation but is not innovative enough.¡±

    The butler, who was waiting on the side, suddenly looked up when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    <i>Miss Xia is too daring.</i>

    Old Madam Wei did not look angry. ¡°If you were the one in charge of the Wei family, how much do you think you can do?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Old Madam Wei. ¡°I can do better than you.¡±

    The way the butler looked at Xia Wanyuan had changed. He looked at the Old Madam fearfully, afraid that she would be angry.

    ¡°Haha.¡± Unexpectedly, not only was Old Madam Wei not angry, but she alsoughed twice. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve worked hard today. Go back. Zimu must have waited for you outside for a long time. Go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan left and Wei Zimu was waiting outside. When he saw Xia Wanyuan, he revealed a warm smile.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, the weather is quite hot today. I bought you some ice powder.¡± Wei Zimu handed the small box to Xia Wanyuan. There were traces of ice on the side of the box.

    On such a hot day, Wei Zimu¡¯s head was sweating, but his hand was cold and white.. He must have been standing there waiting for her with the ice box, and his hand was frozen.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°You¡¯ve been waiting here?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wei Zimu smiled. ¡°I just came back from outside. Sister Wanyuan, are you busy?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wei Zimu asked hesitantly after seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold expression.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to Continent F tomorrow for a business trip. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be back for a month. If you¡¯re not busy, can we have a meal together?¡± Wei Zimu had always been gentle and warm, but Xia Wanyuan could see nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.

    Looking at Wei Zimu¡¯s frozen hand, Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the meeting room, a WeChat message sounded. Everyone waited for Jun Shiling to finish reading the message before continuing the discussion.

    Jun Shiling took the phone and looked at it.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have lunch with Wei Zimu in the afternoon. Have lunch yourself.¡± There was also a cat whining emoticon.

    Jun Shiling was speechless.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was looking at his phone and not speaking, the finance minister carefully called out, ¡°CEO Jun, about the proposal I just mentioned?¡±

    ¡°Bring it back and redo.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The others quietly lit a candle in their hearts.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s agreement, Wei Zimu was very happy. ¡°Then what do you like to eat? Chinese or Western food? Where do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°Anything is fine. You decide.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll take you to my favorite restaurant. This ice powder is about to melt. Quick, try it.¡± Wei Zimu held the sun umbre for Xia Wanyuan to prevent the scorching afternoon sun from shining on her.

    Xia Wanyuan acknowledged.

    Just as he walked out of the Wei family¡¯s door, Wei Zimu¡¯s phone rang. He stopped in his tracks.

    The phone kept ringing, but Wei Zimu did not answer the phone.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer the phone?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Zimu.

    Only then did Wei Zimu take out his phone and answer the call. His tone was a little cold. ¡°Got it.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, wait for me for a while. I forgot to take something.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Wei Zimu handed the umbre to Xia Wanyuan and walked back to the Wei family. He pushed open the door to his room, and all the lights in the room were switched on.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Brother, you seem to have forgotten what you do in the Wei family? You¡¯re so free and even went to eat with her?¡± An equally gentle face turned around, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already agreed to go to Continent F next week.¡± Wei Zimu frowned.

    ¡°Let me eat this meal on your behalf. You¡¯re setting off to Continent F now.¡±

    ¡°You.¡± Wei Zimu clenched his fists, but he knew that he could not do anything to his younger brother. Two people walked over from behind, carrying his luggage and half escorting him away.

    ¡°Take it that I¡¯m begging you. Can you let me have a meal with her before leaving?¡± Wei Zimu hesitated for a while, but in the end, he turned around and softened his tone.

    ¡°How funny. My brother, who has always been arrogant, would actually plead with me for a woman?? Then I don¡¯t want you to go even more.¡± The person sitting in the room looked at Wei Zimu¡¯s softened expression with interest.

    He had never seen his brother like this in his life.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At the Wei family¡¯s house, Xia Wanyuan put down the ice powder after eating a few mouthfuls. After waiting for about ten minutes, Wei Zimu came out.

    Looking at Wei Zimu walk out of the door, he was still dressed like he had been ten minutes ago, but Xia Wanyuan felt that something was different. She frowned slightly.

    The afternoon sun shone on Wei Zimu, but it seemed to have no warmth at all. The strange feeling in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart came again.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, let¡¯s go. What do you want to eat?¡± A gentle voice sounded, and the difort in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart increased.

    ¡°I don¡¯t feel like eating anymore. I¡¯m going back.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan turned around and walked towards her car, ignoring Wei Zimu.

    After a series of sounds, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car had already left the spot like an arrow.

    The person standing at the door did not seem to expect Xia Wanyuan to leave directly. He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips curled up.. ¡°What a sharp woman.¡±

    Jun Shiling ate his lunch tastelessly when his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, he hurriedly pressed the answer button.

    There was a smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s lips, but his tone was a little awkward. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You have time to call me when you¡¯re eating with your Brother Wei?¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, that¡¯s enough.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s helpless voice came from the phone. ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to eat. I¡¯ll be arriving at the office soon. Wait for me to eat together.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you only thought of me after you don¡¯t want to eat with your Brother Wei?¡± Jun Shiling said sourly.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back then.¡±

    ¡°No, no, no. I was wrong, baby. I¡¯m not eating anymore. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Hearing that Xia Wanyuan was going back, Jun Shiling could not hold it in anymore.

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the office.

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s office, there had not been any snacks or drinks for more than a decade. However, ever since Xia Wanyuan appeared, there were all sorts of snacks in the fridge in the office all year round.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan sat down, Jun Shiling brought an ice-cold watermelon to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth. ¡°Have a bite. It¡¯s hot outside, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a bite. ¡°This watermelon is so sweet.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Jun Shiling leaned forward and exchanged a simple kiss with Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It¡¯s indeed quite sweet.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling coquettishly. ¡°It got sour after you ate it.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Thinking of Wei Zimu made Jun Shiling unhappy.

    ¡°CEO Jun,e and hug me.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and reached out to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly, but in the end, he still reached out to hug and kiss her.

    After eating, the unhappiness in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart had long disappeared under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coquettish behavior. ¡°Where¡¯s your painting?¡±

    ¡°What painting?¡± Xia Wanyuan was reading and did not understand what Jun Shiling was talking about.

    ¡°The one you drew for me.¡± Thinking of the picture of ¡°King Looks at the World¡±, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surged with warmth.

    ¡°I used it to participate in thepetition. The organizer said that they would send the painting back after three months.¡±

    ¡°Three months?¡± Jun Shiling frowned.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s question, Xia Wanyuan finally reacted to Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts. She looked away from the book. ¡°I¡¯ll contact themter and see if I can get the painting back as soon as possible. If I really can¡¯t get it back, I¡¯ll draw another one for you.¡±

    ¡°No, I want that one.¡± Jun Shiling was very persistent.

    ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°That was the first painting you drew for me. That one is different.¡±

    Stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan put down her book. ¡°I¡¯ll contact them now.¡±

    ording to the procedure, these award-winning photos would be authorized by thepetition authorities to be ced in the exhibition hall in Cherry Blossoms for everyone to admire for three months.

    Yuan Wanxia was the owner of the painting. It was not a problem for her to take it away in advance. However, she needed toplete the withdrawal procedures step by step.

    However, neither the exhibition hall nor thepetition staff had expected that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ¡°King Looks at the World¡± would be so popr in just a few days.

    Not only did professionals like it, but they felt that the painting technique was used well. Although amateur hobbyists did not know any professional technique, the aura contained in this painting shocked them. Every day, countless people came to the exhibition hall to look at this painting.

    When they heard that the painting ¡°King Looked at the World¡± was going to be withdrawn, it instantly aroused everyone¡¯s displeasure. Many people, who had been preparing to look at it because of its reputation, heard that the painting was going to be withdrawn, and they all asked the exhibition hall to refund the ticket.

    More and more people refunded the tickets. In the end, it triggered a series of reports on foreign news websites. This painting that was sent from the China Qing University newspaper to attend the International Youth Painter Exchange finally attracted the attention of the foreign painting and calligraphy world.

    They had organized so many youth calligraphy and painting exchanges, but they had never seen a piece of work that could cause such a huge impact in the exhibition hall of Cherry Blossom Country.

    After all, this exhibition hall was considered one of the top ten in Cherry Blossom. It contained the works of many famous masters.

    Meanwhile, this piece of work that came out of the youth exchange could actually suppress the limelight of so many masters. The people in the painting and calligraphy world were very puzzled.

    Some painters rushed to the exhibition hall before the paintings were withdrawn.

    At this nce, they were stunned.

    That night, a somewhat famous painter in Cherry Blossom uploaded the painting ¡°King Looks at the World¡± in Fins and tagged the official ount of the ¡°International Youth Painter Exchange¡±.

    ¡°This exchange is extremely unfair. It¡¯s hard to imagine that China is actually so shameless. It¡¯s impossible for this sharp brushstroke to be so experienced without decades of practice. The rankings for this exchange can¡¯t be counted at all. China is really disgusting. They call themselves a civilized ancient country, but because they can¡¯t win the championship, they found a master¡¯s work to pretend to be a young person. It¡¯s really despicable..¡±

    Because China¡¯s ideology was different from abroad, and the economy had risen strongly in recent years, coupled with the self-created socialwork, many foreigners had promoted China¡¯s threat theory, and many foreignizens were hostile to China.

    Especially Cherry Blossom, a country that had alwayspeted with China. When they saw their country¡¯s painter expose China¡¯s darkness, they hurriedly rushed over to support. However, because this painter did not have many fans, after the Fins dynamics were released, it did not immediately cause a hugemotion.

    After a series of procedures, the painting ¡°King Looks at the World¡± finally returned to China. Xia Wanyuan handed the painting to Jun Shiling for him to collect.

    ¡°Is your variety program ¡®Singer¡¯ going to be broadcasting today?¡±

    In the study, Jun Shiling, who was reading documents quietly, suddenly looked up.

    ¡°Yes, how did you know?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling usually did not pay attention to these things.

    ¡°Let¡¯s watch it together,¡± Jun Shiling said and closed the document. He switched on the television and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You can watch it. Don¡¯t be angryter.¡±

    ¡°Why am I angry? Do I look that petty?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say that he was really petty when he was jealous.

    The program slowly began. There were a total of eight groups, and each group went on stage to perform alone before epting the evaluation from the judges. Xia Wanyuan and the rest were behind.

    When the other contestants were performing, the camera would asionally cut to the backstage.

    Even among so many celebrities, Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin were still rather good-looking. Hence, the camera would pan to them from time to time.

    In the camera, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple shirt without any makeup, making her look extremely in. Fang Jin was dressed in a ck punk style shirt. Although he was very handsome, in the camera, he did not match Xia Wanyuan at all.

    While the other teams were nervously practicing, Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin appeared very calm.

    The Watermelon tform was good at building the atmosphere. The camera asionally swept across the excited faces of the audience, the nervous and worried expressions of the managers, and the performances of the contestants on the stage that exploded the entire scene, making people excited.

    Then, the camera turned and everyone saw Xia Wanyuan holding a bottle of red watermelon juice, calmly pouring drinks into a pink flower petal-shaped cup.

    [ This cup is so beautiful. My maiden heart is blooming again. ]

    [ This should be the cup in ¡°Ci Yi¡± shop too. Could it be that ¡°Ci Yi¡± has a new product? ]

    [ I really want to know how much ¡®Ci Yi¡¯ has given Xia Wanyuan to make her work so hard to help with publicity. However, let me tell you something. This cup is really beautiful. I¡¯ll go and order first. ]

    Hence, that night, along with the television station¡¯s viewership ratings, the number of porcin orders increased.

    Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t be bothered to watch the other teams¡¯ programs, so he took the literature books that Xia Wanyuan had annotated and read them at the side. Sometimes, he even asked Xia Wanyuan what she meant by a sentence.

    Finally, the first few groups finished their performances, and the host¡¯s voice finally sounded. ¡°Next, let us wee contestant number eight, Xia Wanyuan, and her partner, Fang Jin.¡±

    Hearing the announcement, Jun Shiling moved his gaze away from the book, but Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting beside him, suddenly blocked Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Promise me that you won¡¯t be angry.¡± Xia Wanyuan covered Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes with one hand and held his hand.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. He reached out and took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand off, then looked at the television.. His expression darkened.

    The style of the song Fang Jin wrote was extremely fast and passionate, overflowing with the passion of summer.

    The style that Mu Feng had designed for Xia Wanyuan was very different from her usual style. Her ponytail was tied up high, and she was wearing sports shoes and a white T-shirt with watermelon prints. Her entire person exuded youthful vigor.

    What made Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darken was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s straight and slender legs. Normally, they were not obvious hidden in her dress. Now, a simple pair of denim shorts made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs look slender and straight.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and knew that he was sulking again. She leaned into his arms and called out tentatively, ¡°Jun Shiling?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly, but he did not push Xia Wanyuan away. He only tightened his grip on her.

    Fang Jin also swept away hiszy appearance in the waiting room. A simple T-shirt with the beach printed on it made him look young.

    Their voices had their own characteristics, but when they harmonized, they seemed to be extremely harmonious. The sun and coconut trees on the stage seemed to be reality in their voices.

    It was as if people had been brought to a soft beach, enjoying the gentle breeze of the sea and feeling the sunlight. They even had the urge to open a coconut.

    As Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin sang, they also had all sorts of matching dance moves. Xia Wanyuan had practiced dance for so long, so at this moment, she was really skilled on the stage.

    Her actions were smooth and strong. When the spotlight shone on her, she looked like orange juice that had been iced in summer. She was lively and charming.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. When I thought that she was from a noble family, she could make me explode. When I thought that she was from the imperial family, she was so youthful. She¡¯s only a 15-year-old sister!! Compared to her, I¡¯m like a 35-year-old boohoo. ]

    [ These legs¡­ I can! ]

    [ Other than looking good, her singing is also very good. Initially, I felt that Lin Xuan and Bo Yi had already sung the best. Now, it seems that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s group is the best. Sister¡¯s dance is so beautiful!!! I want to learn! ]

    After the song and dance ended, a thinyer of sweat appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. The camera cut to her face, and the sweat made her entire person seem to be covered in ayer of high light.

    [ Other people might lose their makeup when they sweat, but Xia Wanyuan had high light. Amazing. ]

    Seeing the perfect score, the audience felt that it was very reasonable. Thements kept flooding in. Xia Wanyuan wanted to look at theizens¡¯ments again, but the television was switched off.

    ¡°Your legs look pretty good?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and said coldly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know very well how it looks?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms with a smile.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words rendered Jun Shiling speechless.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan rely on him doting on her and having an indulgent look, Jun Shiling was angry and happy.

    He was angry because he didn¡¯t want others to see Xia Wanyuan dressed like this. He was happy because Xia Wanyuan was bing more and more delicate in front of him. This also showed that Xia Wanyuan was bing more and more dependent and trusted him. She had no scruples in front of him.

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Can I verify it?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he picked her up.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, why are you¡­ Mm¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words disappeared into a soft whimper.

    After a while, Jun Shiling¡¯s chuckle came from the big bed in the bedroom.

    ¡°It does look good.¡± It was unknown where Jun Shiling¡¯s hand went, but it caused Xia Wanyuan to snort softly. Jun Shiling¡¯s voice gradually became hoarse. ¡°Madam, you didn¡¯t practice your dance for nothing. Your stamina is quite good.. I think you can do it again.¡±

    The duo of Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin pushed the viewership ratings to the highest point that night. After the program ended, the discussion about Xia Wanyuan and Fang Jin continued to be hot.

    The most discussed dance songs on Weibo were ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Leg¡± and ¡°Xia Wanyuan Fangjin¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing finally made people remember that not long ago, she had released an album, and even the sales of Wanfeng¡¯s album had increased.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The audience for ¡°Singer¡± was mainly young people, but ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± was different. This program included all the groups.

    The makeup that Mu Feng had specially woken up early that day to design for Xia Wanyuan had imperceptibly worked.

    Xia Wanyuan already had the elegance of a unique lotus on her, as well as a hint of the dignity of someone who often upied a high position. In addition, Mu Feng had designed gentle makeup for her.

    It made Xia Wanyuan feel as if she hade with the fragrance of books. Even if she did not speak and just stood there quietly, it made people feel that she was a woman with a schrly aura. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was so stunning.

    When the aunties on the streets gathered to chat, they were all talking about the especially talented youngdy in this poetry meet.

    Instantly, the mothers-inw in China raised their standards for their daughters-inw.

    When arge number of suitable young men were forced to marry by their parents, they would always hear this sentence.

    ¡°Hurry up and bring me a wife. I think that Xia Wanyuan in the poetry meet is not bad. Just look for someone like that.¡±

    The age-appropriate man:?<i>Haha, I wonder if my mother thinks too highly of me. If I could marry Xia Wanyuan, I would have collected my marriage certificate as soon as I became an adult. Would I still be single until now??</i>

    When Tang Yin received more and more invitations from middle-aged and elderly endorsements, she realized that ¡°Poetry Meet¡± had brought Xia Wanyuan widespread poprity.

    Over the past few days, due to the popr broadcast of ¡°Singer¡± and ¡°Poetry Meet¡±, Xia Wanyuan had received many endorsement invitations, but she did not ept any of them.

    The main reason was that Xia Wanyuan felt that since she endorsed a product, she had to be responsible for the quality of the product. Like Hays potato chips, which she usually ate, she could ept this endorsement.

    She had never used health supplements or skincare products before. If anything went wrong, she would be responsible for blindly rmending them to her fans.

    Additionally, the makeup and daily necessities that she used were not what her fans could afford.

    So up until now, Xia Wanyuan had only two endorsements. One was Hays potato chips, and the other was Ya Zi¡¯s endorsement.

    The entertainment industry had always used endorsements, magazines, and movie box office as indicators of whether an artiste was sessful.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had been in the limelight recently, in the eyes of many people, she did not have arge number of high-end product endorsements, neither was she the cover of the four top-notch magazines, nor did she have a movie production.

    Such a person was only superficial and did not have any substantial content to support her.

    In an instant, posts analyzing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s data appeared on various forums as if they had agreed on it.

    Theizens were originally very easily incited. Seeing that these posts were reasonable and valid, and that every article relied on the facts, everyone originally felt that Xia Wanyuan had been very popr recently. Now that they thought about it seriously,?<i>this shouldn¡¯t be a marketing method, right?</i>

    [ After Star Creation Entertainment was bought over by the Jun Corporation, it was indeed different. This marketing is done. ]

    [ I thought that Xia Wanyuan had been pretty popr recently. From the looks of it, she doesn¡¯t seem to have any results other than a drama with a female supporting role. ]

    [ Well done marketing. You¡¯re making her look like an A-list celebrity. Lin Xuan is considered an A-list celebrity after all. She¡¯s used topare herself to Xia Wanyuan every day. From the looks of it, she probably crossed the line to scam others. ]

    [ You¡¯re so good at marketing. Do you think ¡®Chinese Poetry Meet¡¯ was actually bribed by Star Creation Entertainment to promote Xia Wanyuan? Otherwise, how could she answer so quickly? It¡¯s too scary. ]

    Thesements that hinted at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± to be fake unconsciously seeped into all the tforms.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was indeed too perfect. Although no one could provide evidence, with this ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity is too high and she has no real results to support¡± post to promote, everyone¡¯s doubts about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results grew.

    Everyone wanted to wait for the finals of ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡±.

    If the difficulty of the preliminary and semi-finals of ¡°China Poetry Meet¡± was 10, then the difficulty of the finals was 1000.

    Thepetitors in the grand finals were selectedyer byyer. It was not an exaggeration to say that they knew everything from heaven to earth. This was a true fight between immortals.

    On the night before the finals, a post named ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s marketing queen¡± exploded on all the major forums.

    The thread owner said, ¡°The difficulty of the grand finals of ¡®China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡¯ is well known. We¡¯re waiting to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance this time. If she¡¯s still invincible and doesn¡¯t hesitate to say the answer, then I really have reason to wonder if she really has the answer. The difficulty of the grand finals is not just for show.¡±

    Various websites sensed the poprity and opened various betting procedures, invitingizens to vote and guess who the champion of the grand finals was. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s votes actually ounted for 60% of the votes.

    However, thements under these votes were all mocking. Everyone voted for Xia Wanyuan with the mentality that there must be a conspiracy after Xia Wanyuan won the championship. They were waiting to watch the drama..

 Chapter 486 - Explosion of the Outer Network

    <h4>Chapter 486: Explosion of the Outer Network</h4>

    The outside world was filled with anticipation for ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡± and discussed it, but Xia Wanyuan did not care about theizens¡¯ votes andments.

    Xia Wanyuan had recently read a biography about the only empress in China¡¯s history, and she especially admired her.

    A thought of painting a painting for the empress arose in her mind. It just so happened that she had nothing to do for the next few days. Xia Wanyuan was reading andposing at home.

    It had been a long time since Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount had been updated. After Xia Wanyuan finished painting, she posted the painting online.

    To her surprise, theizens¡¯ments were not moring but about her participation in the International Youth Painter Exchange.

    [ Master, did someone fake your work? ]

    [ Master, did you know that your painting was sent to thepetition? ]

    [ Qing University is amazing. They actually made a mistake with your painting, Master. They sent your painting to attend the youth painter exchange. Master, quickly exin, otherwise, the people abroad will misunderstand. ]

    Everyone had always been worried about Yuan Wanxia. Now that they saw Yuan Wanxia post something, they hurriedly cared about his situation. Only after everyone finishedmenting did they see the new picture that Yuan Wanxia had posted.

    Everyone gasped when they saw it.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s style had always been cold and carefree. The colors used were mostly dark.

    This time, the picture he posted used an extremely bright yellow as the main theme. The color was extremely bold and bright.

    The traditional yellow color had always represented honor in China. On the tall steps, the empress was wearing a bright yellow pce gown. She turned around and looked at the world with an arrogant gaze.

    Behind the empress were endless mountains and rivers.

    Just looking at it made one feel that the entire painting was magnificent.

    At this moment, thements exploded. They finally returned to their original moring.

    The ount ¡°Wanxia _ Yuan¡± on Fins also updated this picture.

    Compared to China, foreign countries were more liberal in terms of culture. There were also many people who liked Yuan Wanxia¡¯s paintings before, but the beauties of China from the ancient and cheongsam departments could not attract the attention of foreign countries.

    The domineering aura emitted from the paper hadpletely covered the cultural difference.

    This picture had been reposted more than a million times on Fins, and Yuan Wanxia hadpletely be famous on the Inte.

    People from all countries came because of her name and followed Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount.

    Just as his poprity increased and even went onto the trending topic on the Inte¡­

    A foreign marketing ount took a screenshot of the activities of the Cherry Blossom painter.

    ¡°Not only does China like to make counterfeits, but it turns out that it also likes to make counterfeits when participating inpetitions. China is simply a fake country. This Yuan Wanxia is already an old man in his seventies or eighties. He actually used his works to attend the youth painter¡¯s art exchange.¡±

    Originally, because of the Empress Painting, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s poprity was especially high at that moment. This marketing ount had many fans. In an instant, the young painter¡¯s exchange, which no one had paid attention to before, became a popr topic.

    Everyone went to the official website to look for the works of the contestants. The original picture of Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ¡°King Looks at the World¡± had been taken away, leaving only a photo. However, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s name was clearly printed on the photo.

    Initially, there were only a few dozenments under the painter from Cherry Blossom Country. In an instant, there were tens of thousands.

    [ As expected, the Nation of Counterfeit is the Nation of Counterfeit. Even such a painting and calligraphypetition can be faked. ]

    [ Qing University is said to be the top university in China, but they actually did such a thing. China calls itself the heavenly dynasty every day. So it¡¯s self-proimed. ]

    [ Using such a despicable method when you can¡¯t win the championship is indeed something the Chinese will do. Inparison, Country Han is actually better than them. ]

    The resistance to China and the anger towards such fake actions madeizens of various countries stand on the side of Cherry Blossoms and help denounce the international young painter¡¯spetition officials.

    The officials were also very confused. The senders of these works were all top universities in various countries. With the guarantee of these universities¡¯ reputation, they had never done much research on the identity of the contestants. They did not expect China to have such a move. This was something they did not expect.

    There were more and more discussions about this matter abroad. The news finally reached China. Theizens felt that it was very embarrassing. They surged to the bottom of Qing University¡¯s Weibo and asked the Qing University to quickly give an exnation and not let others have evidence against China.

    The usually cold and aloof Qing Da actually responded this time. However, this response poured another ten feet of anger on theizens.

    @ Qing University Official: ¡°The works that we sent in have no problems. Thank you for everyone¡¯s attention..¡±

    [??? Amazing. ]

    [ F*ck, you guys represent the highest academic level in China. Can you not be humiliating? You did something wrong and still have to be so unyielding. Is this the standard of Qing University? ]

    [ Why are you all saying that Qing University did something wrong¡­ Yuan Wanxia has never appeared before. Why is everyone so sure that he¡¯s an old man? What if he¡¯s a young man? Perhaps he¡¯s younger than both of us. ]

    [ The person in front, let me tell you. This is impossible. I¡¯m from the Arts department of Qing University. Our professor told us that he can¡¯tpare to Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting skills. Do you know how old my professor is? Our professor is already in his sixties! ]

    Hence, under the appearance of the students from Qing University, the only person who had touched the truth was persuaded and joined the team that denounced the Qing University.

    After posting this Weibo post, the Qing University did not post anymore. No matter how manyments theizens sent, the Qing University remained silent.

    The Inte was noisy as everyone was paying attention to the matters between Qing University and Yuan Wanxia. When the various marketing ounts began to flood the screen at eight o¡¯clock in the evening, everyone realized that today was the grand finals of ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡±.

    ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± had always had high viewership ratings. The grand finals this time upied 30% of the market as soon as it started broadcasting.

    There were a total of sixpetitors in the finals. They were all winners who had gone through the preliminaries, the group stages, and the semi-finals. Every one of them was erudite and learned.

    The other five contestants had performed very well in the preliminaries and semi-finals. At that time, they had also attracted a lot of attention. This time, when the heroes gathered, the audience rubbed their fists and waited to see the Asura Arena that was filled with open and hidden battles.

    Considering the previouspetitions, the national channel increased the difficulty of the questions in a straight line.

    After the beautiful music, thepetition officially began with the host¡¯s opening words.

    The green bamboo on the stage was hidden, and the petals fluttered. The camera gradually zoomed past every contestant. Everyone was generally more nervous, except for Xia Wanyuan, who had always had a cold expression, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

    ¡°Alright, now that ¡®Chinese Poetry Meet¡¯ has officially begun, it¡¯s the first round. It¡¯s a mixed answeringpetition. All contestants, please listen to the questions.¡±

    ¡°The sound of firecrackers is one year old. The spring breeze brings warmth into Tu Su.¡± ¡°Tu Su¡± here means: Suzhou B house, C Wine D crops. ¡°

    Just as the host finished speaking, the six contestants on the scene pressed the lights. Everyone¡¯s answer was C

    ¡°Congrattions everyone on answering correctly!¡±

    The judges nodded. As expected of the winners of the semi-finals, everyone¡¯s literary reserves were very deep.

    ¡°Please listen to the next question¡­¡±

    Red lights lit up again, and everyone answered correctly.

    Gradually, they had already answered nearly ten questions. Everyone pressed the button instantly. After ten questions, everyone¡¯s score was 100 points. There was no difference.

    Before the national television station nned the program, they had already nned out what might happen. Seeing that ordinary questions could not widen the gap, they immediately changed the difficulty of the question bank.

    ¡°Which does not exist in the surname of the ¡®Hundred Surnames¡¯ A. Wu B. W¨² C. Xiao D. X¨ªao?¡±

    When the question was asked, everyone was stunned.?<i>At first nce, they all seemed like they were verymon surnames?</i>

    While some of the contestants were hesitating, Xia Wanyuan and another person directly revealed their answers.

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan and Pang Hui for sessfully answering the questions!¡±

    ¡°Next question, the engravings are divided into Yin Wen and Yang Wen Seals. The Beijing Olympic emblem,¡± China Seal ¡°, is A Yin Wen and B Yang Wen Seal.¡±

    Everyone was silent. The audience on the video tform had already started asking questions.

    <i>Isn¡¯t this a poetry meet?? What are these questions??</i>

    However, Xia Wanyuan sessfully answered him again without any hesitation.

    In the following matches, due to the increase in the difficulty of the questions, the Asura Arena that everyone thought they would see did not appear. Instead, only ¡°Congrattions Xia Wanyuan for sessfully answering the question! Ten more points!¡± ran through the entire venue.

    Some boredizens specially squatted and counted. The host said a total of fifty times, ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for sessfully answering the question!¡±

    Netizen: ¡°Take a rest. I think you¡¯re exhausted.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance had gone too smoothly. The other five contestants were not ordinary people. Amongst them were university professors and professional schrs.

    The questions that even they felt were very difficult were as simple as chopping carrots for Xia Wanyuan. Thements onlinepletely exploded.

    [ I knew there was a conspiracy. ]

    [ That¡¯s too fake!! I didn¡¯t even have time to finish reading those questions when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer came out. ]

    [ How much did Star Creation Entertainment spend to promote Xia Wanyuan? Oh my god, can¡¯t they at least hide it? Why are they cheating so openly? Do they treat others as idiots? ]

    In the final oue of thepetition, Xia Wanyuan undoubtedly won the championship of the grand finals. There was no suspense.

    At that moment, phone calls from the national television station were exploding. Everyone was here toin that the program was shady.

    The staff looked for the Station Leader in a panic. Who would have thought that the Station Leader would smile mysteriously? ¡°Hang the phone at the side. Let them call. They won¡¯t be able to call in now.¡±

    The staff looked at the mysterious station leader with a confused expression.?<i>What does this mean??</i>

    The continued fermentation of public opinion on the Inte had alerted the department in charge of national television. The higher-ups had specially sent people over to ask, and the answer they received was that public opinion would disappear at night.

    Time passed slowly. That night, at eight o¡¯clock, another ¡°Focused Figures¡± program on national television began to broadcast. The guests for this episode had not been forecast before. Only when the program began did everyone see from the announcement column.

    The guest for this episode of ¡°Focused Figures¡± invited Yuan Wanxia, who had donated nearly twenty million dors to the Northwest Forestry Engineering Project.

    The host first introduced the situation in the northwest desert, then introduced Yuan Wanxia¡¯s work and her contributions in the northwest forest building project.

    Some attentiveizens noticed that when the words on the television station pointed at Yuan Wanxia, they were using ¡°her¡±. They were about to say why the national television station was so imprecise.

    Then, the camera turned.

    ¡°Let us wee today¡¯s guest, Yuan Wanxia.¡±

    A stunning face appeared on camera..

 Chapter 488 - Yuan Wanxia Appears for an Interview

    <h4>Chapter 488: Yuan Wanxia Appears for an Interview</h4>

    The guest was wearing a simple white shirt, but her beautiful face had already brought color to the entire studio.

    The host was stunned for a moment and hurriedly pressed the emergency button. ¡®Did the wrong persone?¡¯

    However, the producer¡¯s affirmative answer came from the earpiece. ¡°She¡¯s Yuan Wanxia. Continue the program and don¡¯t stop.¡±

    The host used the greatest professional emergency ability in his life to control his facial expression.

    ¡°You¡¯re Master Yuan Wanxia?¡± The host stood up.

    ¡°Hello, I am.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and smiled politely, stunning the host.

    ¡°To be honest, I didn¡¯t expect the legendary Master Yuan Wanxia to be so young. It¡¯s incredible.¡± The host pulled out a chair for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Art doesn¡¯t care about age.¡± Xia Wanyuan was calmer.

    After exchanging greetings, the program entered a normal interview program.

    ¡°I¡¯m very impressed by you. To be able to donate all your painting and calligraphy into the Northwest Forest Creation Project, I would like to ask how you felt about investing this money? You have to know that twenty million dors is not a small number.¡±

    ¡°Twenty million is fine. It¡¯s bearable. At that time, I wanted to donate money, so I casually chose one,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied especially honestly.

    ¡°¡­¡± The hostughed dryly, thinking,?<i>Can¡¯t you say something more polite?</i>?¡°No matter what, with the help of kind people like you, the construction of forests in the northwest can be done better.¡±

    Then, the host chatted with Xia Wanyuan about some other questions.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that those she could answer, she replied honestly. However, those she did not want to answer, no matter how the host tried to coax her, he could not get a word out of her.

    After the program, Xia Wanyuan was as calm as before, while the host felt tired, as if he had just fought a battle.

    There were also many politicians on this program. They were also good at Tai Chi [1. Tai Chi is a type of martial art in China and it signifies the art of pushing back and forth, beating around the bush], but the host felt that he had never seen anyone who could Tai Chi to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s level.

    Xia Wanyuan could push back all the questions and he could not find any breakthrough points. The host was about to cry.

    At the end of the program, ording to usual practice, the host made a request to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Everyone has said that Master Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting is excellent. I wonder if our program will be lucky enough to receive one of Master¡¯s calligraphy pieces?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. The host hurriedly got the staff to bring up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

    Many painters hade to this program before. When they drew, their posture was extremely serious. The host was about to say that he would retreat to the side to give Xia Wanyuan a good creative space when he saw Xia Wanyuan pick up a brush and hurl it over the paper.

    Her actions were too direct and carefree. For a moment, the host wondered if Xia Wanyuan really knew how to draw.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very fast.

    The host leaned forward. ¡°As expected of Master Yuan Wanxia!!¡± Now, he really believed that this young woman in her twenties was the famous Master Yuan Wanxia domestically and abroad. ¡±

    Xia Wanyuan covered the bottom with a dark yellow color. The paper was covered in bleak yellow sand. In the yellow sand, there was a faint greenness. At first nce, the entire painting gave off a bleak and hopeless feeling. However, on a closer look, it was filled with vitality and hope.

    This coincided with the core meaning of the Northwest Forest Creation Project and brought hope to the Northwest Desert.

    The audience of this television program was usually middle-aged people. After the program ended, it did not cause much of amotion. Only half an hourter, the viewership ratings of this program exploded..

    Young people rarely watched television programs anymore, especially interview programs. However, there were always people who could not snatch the remote control from their parents. They had no choice but to watch it with their parents.

    Someone was ying games when he heard the television introduce Yuan Wanxia. He habitually looked up and he had even forgotten to y the King¡¯s Advancement Tournament. He watched the entire scene with his parents in a daze.

    His parents were not familiar with this person, but as surfers on the Inte, the youngster was too familiar with this trending topic, so he took a picture and posted it on Weibo.

    ¡°That¡¯s amazing. Am I seeing things?? Quick, go and see the interview on National Channel 1. The guest for this episode is Yuan Wanxia!!!! You definitely won¡¯t be able to guess who she is!!! Come back and repost my Weibo post after watching it.¡±

    There were still many people who liked Yuan Wanxia on Weibo. Some people were very interested and wanted to see what Yuan Wanxia looked like. After all, she had never shown her face before.

    Then, after everyone watched the rey online, they knelt down and reposted the Weibo post that had first posted Yuan Wanxia¡¯s interview.

    [ F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Saying three f*ck words consecutively represents my f*cking mood! ]

    [ What are you guys talking about so mysteriously? Why can¡¯t I understand? What¡¯s wrong with Master Yuan Wanxia? ]

    More and moreizens were intrigued by the mysteriousments under this Weibo post. They swarmed to watch the interview rey.

    The moment they switched on the video, the entire screen was filled with ¡®F*ck¡¯. Even the host¡¯s face could not be seen.

    After the host announced the guest¡¯s name, the screen was already filled with ¡°High energy in front!!!!¡±

    Theizens thought,<i>?Isn¡¯t he just a master with amazing painting and calligraphy? How high can it be??</i>

    Then, a face that everyone was very familiar with appeared on the screen.

    A clear voice sounded. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Yuan Wanxia, Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ???????

    !!!!!!!

    After watching the video, theizens wanted to return to Weibo to see what was going on, but they realized that,

    Weibo broke down. It was being squeezed by everyone.

    The top trending topic was ¡°Xia Wanyuan, Yuan Wanxia¡± followed by a huge ¡®EXPLOSIVE¡¯.

    When the programmer finished dropping thest strand of hair, everyone could finally click on the trending topic interface.

    [ Can anyone tell me what¡¯s going on???!!!! Am I hallucinating or is this world fantasy? ]

    [ Master Yuan Wanxia is Xia Wanyuan? Oh my god, I wonder if I¡¯m crazy. ]

    [ I watched the program seriously¡­ Xia Wanyuan is really Yuan Wanxia (Master)¡­ For a moment, I don¡¯t know if I should call her Master¡­ ]

    A video of Yuan Wanxia appearing on Weibo was reposted. Even if they did not believe it, they had to believe it when they saw these real videos. They had always thought that a 60-70-year-old Chinese arts master was actually a celebrity in the entertainment industry.

    Furthermore, she was an extremely beautiful celebrity in the entertainment industry in her twenties!?

    With such hot news, the marketing ounts searched desperately for everything about Yuan Wanxia.

    Hence, before theizens could recover from their shock, an even bigger piece of news was revealed by the marketing ounts.

    <h4>Chapter 490: What Should I Do? Pamper Her</h4>

    A marketing ount used Yuan Wanxia as the keyword and searched through arge number of Weibo posts. Then, they found a Weibo post that the Qing University had posted back then.

    ¡°You only notice that Yuan Wanxia is Xia Wanyuan. Have you forgotten that the officials of the Qing University announced Yuan Wanxia as their dual professor of literature and art?¡±

    Everyone was blinded by Yuan Wanxia¡¯s appearance. It was only when they were reminded by the marketing ount that they remembered.?<i>That¡¯s right! Back then, the Qing University had officially announced Yuan Wanxia¡¯s professor status.</i>

    <i>Now that Yuan Wanxia was Xia Wanyuan, that meant that Xia Wanyuan was the professor of Qing University!!!</i>

    [ I¡¯m stunned¡­ This world is so fake. Oh my god, what kind of god is this? 22 years old, a dual faculty professor at the Qing University. ]

    [ Oh my god, I take back my original words. It turns out that Xia Wanyuan is really so amazing. She can really make Qing University invite her to be a professor. Amazing. ]

    [ That¡¯s why everyone denounced ¡°China¡¯s Poetry Meet¡± so much. It was actually Xia Wanyuan¡¯s original performance. She¡¯s a professor in the literature department at Qing University. It¡¯s normal for her to answer all the questions correctly. ]

    [ I just want to ask Nuwa if she has a heart!! When she pinched Xia Wanyuan, she pinched her with her heart. When she pinched me, she probably pinched me with her feet. ]

    At this moment, the doubts about ¡°Chinese Poetry Meet¡± disappeared, but the viewership ratings of ¡°Focused Figures¡± on national television rose extremely quickly.

    Arge number ofizens flooded to Xia Wanyuan and Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo. No matter how they looked at it, it did not look like the same person¡¯s style. Everyone uniformly scrolled through Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo and said, ¡°Master, you hid it from us so hard!¡±

    The Inte exploded. After Xia Wanyuan attended the interview, she left the recording hall very calmly.

    There was still a familiar car parked outside. Xia Wanyuan sat in it and was pulled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Are you tired?¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was filled with fatigue. She had just finished recording ¡°China Poetry Meet¡± when she went to record ¡°Focused Figures¡±. Now, her stomach was very ufortable.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t eat?!¡± Jun Shiling felt that something was wrong when he heard her voice.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and leanedzily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Eat some bread first.¡± Jun Shiling took out a bag of bread.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat this.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. As a very traditional Chinese, she still liked rice more. When one was hungry, eating bread had no taste.

    ¡°Eat a little to fill yourself first. Otherwise, you¡¯ll feel ufortable.¡± Jun Shiling opened the bag, broke off a small piece, and brought it to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth.

    ]Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and buried herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°No.¡±

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s furry hair rubbing against his chest, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with a smile. ¡°Fine, don¡¯t eat. Why are you acting so coquettishly?¡±

    Since Xia Wanyuan did not want to eat, Jun Shiling did not force her and threw the bread aside.

    At that moment, the car was driving to the middle of the street. Jun Shiling looked out of the car window. There was a restaurant that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat at, so he got the chauffeur to stop the car.

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy you something to eat.¡±

    Business in the Hundred vour Hall was excellent, and every table was filled with people. The dining hall was bustling with activity.

    The restaurant owner leaned on the front desk happily and calcted the day¡¯s bill. It was another day where he had earned a lot.?<i>Happy!</i>

    Gradually, the boss realized that the surroundings seemed to have quietened down. There was no sound of talking at all.

    The boss looked up and did not notice that the bill in his hands had fallen.

    Everyone¡¯s gazes were on Jun Shiling, who was slowly walking over.

    ¡°This, this, and this one.¡± Jun Shiling gently ordered the menu.

    ¡°Oh, oh, oh!!! Okay!! We¡¯ll prepare it immediately.¡± The boss was stunned.<i>?Isn¡¯t this the head of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling?!!</i>

    When the news reached the kitchen, the chef prepared the food and handed it to Jun Shiling as quickly as possible.

    The entire restaurant was silent from the moment they realized that Jun Shiling had entered. It was only when he disappeared at the door that the sound in the restaurant resumed.

    Soon, the trending topic ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s Hundred vour Hall¡± had climbed to below ¡°Xia Wanyuan Yuan Wanxia¡±.

    Jun Shiling carried the food into the car and sat beside Xia Wanyuan, who leaned on him habitually.

    Looking at the fatigue on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached. He opened the box and fed Xia Wanyuan spoon by spoon.

    ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± Jun Shiling usually didn¡¯t let Xia Wanyuan eat greasy food. Just now, at the Hundred vour Hall, he had specially instructed them to put less oil and salt, so the food was very light. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to eat it after a few mouthfuls.

    ¡°Why did you eat so little?¡± Jun Shiling put down his chopsticks and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°This is too nd. I want to eat spicy food, spicy boiled fish, saliva chicken.¡±

    ¡°Your stomach isn¡¯t good to begin with.¡± Jun Shiling frowned and was about to continue when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resentful eyes.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care. I want to eat that, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not realize that she had actually raised her temper back when she was a little princess in her previous life in front of Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lively eyes and fell silent.

    ¡°Can I, Jun Shiling? I haven¡¯t eaten that in a long time.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was usually extremely cold, but now that it had softened, it had a hint of gentleness.

    ]Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and subconsciously drew circles on his arm. ¡°You¡¯re too much. You didn¡¯t even let me eat what I wanted to eat.¡±

    Jun Shiling felt Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fingertips moving across his arm, as if they were electric, leaving a ripple on his arm.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll call Uncle Wang to prepare now, but only this once this month.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Jun Shiling, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly and wrapped her in his arms helplessly.

    He sighed in his heart.?<i>What could I do? This person was bing more and more coquettish.</i>

    <i>Other than pampering her, what else could I do?</i>

    When they returned to the manor, it was already a littlete. Xiao Bao had already gone to bed obediently.

    Nanny Li had already prepared all the food that Xia Wanyuan wanted to eat in the dining room.

    It had been a long time since she had eaten anything spicy. When Xia Wanyuan ate, her eyes were shining.

    ]Jun Shiling sat by the side and watched quietly, passing warm water to Xia Wanyuan from time to time.

    After Xia Wanyuan ate a bowl of rice, Jun Shiling reached out to stop her from reaching forward with her chopsticks. ¡°That¡¯s enough. If you eat anymore, your stomach will hurt.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and finally retracted her chopsticks.

    In the end, what Jun Shiling was worried about happened.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling went to take a shower and Xia Wanyuan ate another iced watermelon.

    When it was time to sleep, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach began to ache.

    ¡°You really¡­¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan helplessly and turned to get the medicine for her to finish it.

    Jun Shiling took a heat pack and ced it in her stomach. He hugged her from behind and supported the heat pack with his hand. ¡°If you don¡¯t get betterter, we¡¯ll call the doctor over.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan turned around, put the heat pack away, and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist.

    ¡°Turn around. I¡¯ll warm your stomach.¡±

    ¡°No, I just want to sleep like this.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head and snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Why have you be more and more like a spoiled child these few days?¡± Jun Shiling reached out and hugged her tighter.

    ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes andy in the cold pine fragrance, feeling very at ease.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Of course you can. Go to sleep. Call me if your stomach hurts tonight. Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    Fortunately, stomach medicine was effective. Xia Wanyuan slept soundly the entire night.

    There was nothing much to do for the past two days, so Xia Wanyuan slept more peacefully. When she opened her eyes, she realized that Jun Shiling was still awake.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to work?¡±

    ¡°I was afraid that your stomach would hurt, so I¡¯ll go after eating breakfast with you.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was awake, Jun Shiling got up to get her clothes.

    However, just as Jun Shiling was about to sit up, Xia Wanyuan pulled him back.

    ¡°Let¡¯s wake upter.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Her furry hair tickled Jun Shiling¡¯s heart. ¡°I want to stay with you for a while more.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dependence and gentleness was like a defenseless kitten to someone close to her. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart melted.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling fell asleep again and kissed her. ¡°You only know how to act coquettishly every day.¡±

    The two of them dilly-dallied for a long time before Jun Shiling helped thezy Xia Wanyuan put on her clothes, patiently put on her shoes, and brought her downstairs for dinner.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling went to work.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything on today. I want to go to thepany with you.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to leave, Xia Wanyuan felt a little reluctant. Thinking that she had nothing to do at home, she wanted to follow him.

    Jun Shiling saw the reluctance in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes and his heart skipped a beat. A smile appeared on his face. ¡°You¡¯re so clingy.¡±

    ]Jun Shiling reached out and picked her up. ¡°Let¡¯s go to work together.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. She seemed to be bing more and more dependent on Jun Shiling.

    This person was too good to her.

    He was so good that no matter what she did or how she made a scene, this person would give me endless tolerance and gentleness.

    The strength, disguise, and coldness that she had painstakingly trained after walking alone all those years had all retreated under Jun Shiling¡¯s endless gentleness.

    When they arrived at thepany, Jun Shiling was dealing with things on the side.

    Xia Wanyuan finally had time to check her phone.. Then, she realized that her phone had been bombarded with calls, WeChat, and messages.

    Other than Jun Shiling, no one around her knew that she was Yuan Wanxia. When this news broke, everyone tagged her in the production team group to ask about the truth.

    Even Tang Yin and Chen Yun could not believe it. Although they knew that Xia Wanyuan usually liked to read, there was a legendary difference between her liking to read and a professor at Qing University.

    Xia Wanyuan replied to the messages one by one.

    The Qing University professor group was silent.

    The professors were already very busy with research usually and did not pay much attention to the news on the Inte. It was only when they arrived at school in the morning and heard from the young teacher in the academy that they learned that Master Yuan Wanxia was actually a 22-year-old female celebrity.

    The professors looked at the smiling beautiful profile picture in the group and began to doubt their decades of worldview.

    <i>It turned out that Yuan Wanxia did not use the photos of the female celebrity she liked as her photos, but this female celebrity was herself?? (</i>

    The unconvinced professor ran to admire Yuan Wanxia¡¯s painting again. He still could not match Xia Wanyuan with Yuan Wanxia.

    In the end, it was the dean who spoke in the group.

    ¡°Teacher Yuan Wanxia, we should call her Professor Xia now is a colleague in the same department as us. Let¡¯s gather together and get to know each other.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied, ¡°Okay.¡±

    The stalemate was broken, and the professors began to speak in the group. Everyone discussed a time to eat.

    After agreeing on a time, the professors turned around and thought about the gift they had prepared for Yuan Wanxia.

    <i>Crutches, health supplements, wheelchair¡­?</i>

    <i>Forget it</i>, the professors thought.<i>?I should save it for myself.</i>

    After chatting with the professors, Xia Wanyuan was about to switch off her phone when she suddenly received a friend request.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw a smiling profile picture. She verified the message. ¡°Can I have a friend spot?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously nced at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents seriously, acutely sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Then, she reached out and clicked on the delete verification message.

    In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng leaned on the sofa and looked at his phone for a long time. He did not get approved as her good friend.

    Xuan Sheng had been abroad for many years and was not familiar with social media in the country. He waved at his assistant. ¡°Why isn¡¯t there anything?¡±

    The assistant looked at his phone carefully and hesitated.

    ¡°Speak. Why are you stuttering?¡± Xuan Sheng took the phone impatiently and added again.

    ¡°Young Master, maybe the other party didn¡¯t want to add you and deleted the verification message¡­¡± At the end, the assistant¡¯s voice became softer and softer.

    However, to his surprise, Xuan Sheng was not angry. Instead, he calmly put down his phone. ¡°Oh, okay, forget it. I won¡¯t add anymore. Go and pour me a cup of tea.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant turned and walked out. He suddenly remembered that he hade in to deliver documents. He hurriedly turned around and wanted to hand the documents to Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng, who had looked indifferent just now, was looking down and rubbing the side of his phone. No one knew what he was thinking. In the assistant¡¯s eyes, the side of the face of the usually evil crown prince of Glory World Corporation seemed very lonely.

    The assistant stopped in his tracks. For some reason, he felt that it was not suitable to disturb Xuan Sheng now. Hence, he lightened his footsteps and turned to leave the office.

    Finally, after replying to everyone¡¯s messages, Xia Wanyuan switched off her phone, took off her shoes, andy on the sofa. After looking at her phone for a long time, Xia Wanyuan felt that her eyes were tired, so she supported her head with her hand and looked at the blue sky and tall buildings outside the window.

    However, gradually, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended on Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents seriously.

    Jun Shiling, who was sitting upright and wearing a suit and shirt while working seriously, looked very charming. Xia Wanyuan had never told Jun Shiling that she actually especially liked how Jun Shiling looked when he was serious.

    Jun Shiling, who had just flipped through the pages extremely quickly, gradually slowed down until he stopped reading the documents.

    Xia Wanyuan stared at Jun Shiling¡¯s face in a daze, not noticing that Jun Shiling had already looked up at her.

    ¡°You¡¯re sticking to me at work and staring at me. Do you not want me to work properly?¡± Jun Shiling put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan react. ¡°No, I was in a daze just now. Go and do your thing.¡±

    Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I don¡¯t want to do anything anymore.¡±

    ¡°Then what are you going to do?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked casually.

    ¡°You.¡± A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and kicked Jun Shiling gently. Jun Shiling reached out and held her ankle, his eyes faintly burning.

    ¡°I¡¯m sleepy. I want to sleep for a while, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan was afraid of Jun Shiling¡¯s stamina. She didn¡¯t want to be carried home again, so she spoke in a gentle tone.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling knew what Xia Wanyuan was thinking from her gaze. In the end, he did not do anything and moved the documents to the sofa. As he read the documents, he patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back gently and coaxed her to sleep.

    In the coffee shop, a few women were gathered together, sharing thetest fashion and bags.

    Han Yuan picked up the cup and drank a mouthful of coffee. The woman sitting opposite her nced at the bracelet on her hand and her eyes lit up.

    ¡°Sister, your husband treats you too well. He actually bought you such a beautiful bracelet. This bracelet is thetest model this year. I want to buy it, but my husband can¡¯t bear to. You¡¯re too lucky!¡±

    Han Yuan twirled her wrist smugly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It was my birthdayst week. This is my birthday gift.¡±

    ¡°Your Old Xia is really not bad. I heard from my husband that the Xia family¡¯spany has been developing rapidly recently. Sister, you have a good life.¡±

    Seeing herpanions mention Xia Yuanqing and Xia Wanyuan, disgust shed across Han Yuan¡¯s eyes.

    It was fine if Xia Yuanqing, that useless piece of trash, lost thepany, but he stayed at home every day to look after the child and did not even think of a way to snatch thepany back.

    <i>He can¡¯t even afford to buy me a bracelet. How useless.?</i>

    ¡°Speaking of your Old Xia, I¡¯ve been watching the news recently. Doesn¡¯t he have a daughter? What¡¯s her name again?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan?¡± At the mention of Xia Wanyuan, Han Yuan felt depressed.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!! It¡¯s her! I heard from my daughter that this Xia Wanyuan is amazing. I heard that she¡¯s very good at writing, painting, and calligraphy. She¡¯s even a professor at Qing University now.¡±

    ¡°Qing University¡¯s Professor?!¡± Han Yuan choked on her wine. Because she was too agitated, her voice was a little hoarse. ¡°How is that possible?¡±

    <i>How could I not know what Xia Wanyuan was capable of??</i>

    Back then, Xia Wanyuan had only scored so little for the college entrance examination. It was only after Xia Yuanqing spent more than a million dors to arrange for her to be admitted to a school that could barely be considered a university.

    <i>A professor at Qing University??</i>

    ¡°Which Qing University? Qing Development excavator training school?¡± Han Yuan asked her friend suspiciously.

    ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. Of course it¡¯s the most amazing one in China, Qing University. Speaking of which, you¡¯re still considered her mother. Why don¡¯t you know this?¡±

    Han Yuan did not care what her partner said. She picked up her phone and searched for relevant news. When she saw it, she was stunned.

    <i>How was that possible?! How could I not know what Xia Wanyuan is like? She had probably bribed the examiner and cheated.?</i>

    ¡°You guys chat. I have something on. I have to go back.¡± Han Yuan put away her phone, greeted herpanions, and left in a hurry.

    On the continuous green mountains, eagles streaked across the sky, startling a flock of birds in the forest.

    In the depths of the forest where the birds could not step, sunlight shone through the leaves, scattering mottled points of light.

    ¡°Comrade Xia Yu, congrattions on sessfully passing the cheetah assault team¡¯s test and bing the third generation member of the assault team, Team 0320!¡±

    The badge with the head of a leopard was ced on Xia Yu¡¯s chest. The person with the seal and the recipient bowed to each other.

    After the bow, Bo Xiao, with a golden star on his shoulder, looked at Xia Yu¡¯s upright posture and smiled with his fox-like eyes. ¡°Congrattions, Xia Yu. You did well.¡±

    ¡°Thank you..¡± Xia Yu touched the badge on his chest and grinned at Bo Xiao.

 Chapter 494 - Farewell

    <h4>Chapter 494: Farewell</h4>

    ¡°Yuanyuan, why are you back?¡± Father Xia was ying with the child in the cradle with the turning drum in his hand. It was very strange to see Han Yuan return.?<i>Didn¡¯t she always take a day toe back every time she went out with those sisters?</i>

    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to eat anymore, so I came back.¡± Han Yuan sat on the sofa and brushed her hair. ¡°I heard something. Your daughter has be a professor at Qing University.¡±

    ¡°Professor at Qing University? How is that possible?¡± Father Xia didn¡¯t believe it at all.

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t believe me. Go and watch the news yourself. Your daughter really knows how to package herself. She even dares to buy the title of the great professor.¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan taking thepany for herself, Han Yuan was furious.

    After a while, Father Xia did not speak. Han Yuan found it strange and looked at Father Xia. She saw that his eyes were fixed on her wrist.

    Han Yuan cursed in her heart. She was in a hurry toe back and had forgotten to take off the bracelet on her hand.

    ¡°Who bought you this bracelet?¡± Father Xia¡¯s voice sank. Although he did not pay attention to fashion entertainment, the bracelet on Han Yuan¡¯s hand was of good quality and exquisite workmanship. It was obvious that it would cost a lot of money.

    He was staying at home for work and had to save up money for the child. How could he have the money to buy a bracelet for Han Yuan?

    ¡°My friend gave it to me as a birthday gift.¡± At first, she was quite flustered. However, on second thought, Xia Yuanqing was not thepany¡¯s chairman anymore, so why should she be afraid of him? ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You can¡¯t afford it and you¡¯re not allowing my friend to give me a gift?¡±

    ¡°Male or female?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s a woman. Xia Yuanqing, are you crazy? I can¡¯t be bothered to talk to you anymore.¡± Panic shed across Han Yuan¡¯s eyes. She forced herself to be calm and walked upstairs.

    Xia Yuanqing looked at her back and then at the infant. He sighed heavily. ¡°I brought this upon myself.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Are you really not going back to visit your sister?¡±

    The helicopter¡¯s rotor wings brought up huge waves, making people¡¯s clothes flutter.

    Xia Yu stopped in his tracks and turned around. His exquisite face had be thinner, but there was a hint of hardness in it.

    ¡°Help me tell my sister that I¡¯ll go back and visit her when I finish this mission.¡±

    Xia Yu wanted to go back too, but he didn¡¯t want to go back and find Xia Wanyuan before he achieved anything.

    Coincidentally, the higher-ups had given him an A-rank mission this time. He volunteered to ept it. He had been training in the mountains for the past few days. This was the first time he had gone out to participate in a training mission, and Xia Yu felt a little expectant and uneasy.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell her. Take care.¡± Seeing how determined Xia Yu was, Bo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but think of the first time he saw him.

    At that time, he was still insufferably arrogant. The little boy who had pressed his opponent to the ground repeatedly and finally forced him to quit the game had gradually grown into a man who could take charge alone.

    Xia Yu stood up and bowed to Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao¡¯s expression turned serious and he bowed back.

    Then, Xia Yu got into the helicopter without looking back.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.

    Jun Shiling had been apanying her on the sofa. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was awake, he patted her back. ¡°Do you want to sleep again?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly and approached Jun Shiling again. Jun Shiling smiled and wrapped her in a nket, cing her on hisp. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to move. I¡¯ll let you hug me.¡±

    Jun Shiling also realized that Xia Wanyuan seemed to like sticking to him more and more recently.

    Jun Shiling naturally understood what this meant, but not only did he not feel that Xia Wanyuan disturbed him like this, he even wished that Xia Wanyuan would do this every day.

    Xia Wanyuan yawned, her eyes watery. She leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty.¡±

    Jun Shiling put down the things in his hand, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan drank it in a few mouthfuls and leaned back on Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling simply liked Xia Wanyuan¡¯szy appearance. He lowered his head and kissed her. The afternoon sun shone diagonally into the room, casting a gentle light on the two people hugging on the sofa.

    The anger of the domesticizens was quelled by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s interview program. However, due to the asymmetry of information, there was still a sea of criticism on the foreign Inte..

    There was no distinction between countries for haters. 80% of theizens on the foreign Inte were biased against China.

    From the information they had received, on the one hand, China was a constantly rising economic power, on the other hand, its poption was poor, backward, and of low quality. In addition, China¡¯s socialwork was separated from the world.

    The foreigners had a very contradictory mentality. On the one hand, they were afraid of China, but on the other hand, they looked down on China.

    Cherry Blossoms Country was very close to the Western world. Netizens from the various countries helped Cherry Blossoms Country and directly pushed the topic of ¡°Counterfeit Country¡± onto the Fins trending list.

    Due to this topic, the number of fans on the ¡°Wanxia _yuan¡± ount increased by two million.

    Although many of them had added to scold him, it was undeniable that they had brought an extremely high poprity to the ount.

    The organizers of the International Youth Painter Exchange tried to negotiate with Qing University. The reply they received was that there was no problem with thepetitor¡¯s work.

    Facing the tremendous pressure of public opinion, the organizers of thepetition finally steeled their hearts and prepared to release a statement to cancel all the names of the exchange meet and review the qualifications of the participants before rearranging the rankings.

    At this moment, the ount ¡°Wanxia _yuan¡± updated with a new post.

    Everyone clicked on it and saw that it was a video link. When they saw it, they were stunned.

    They dragged the progress bar back and saw a middle-aged man and an extremely beautiful Asian woman chatting. It was unknown what they were talking about.

    Fortunately, there were people who knew manynguages in thements. They simply tranted the title introduction for everyone.

    ¡°I think this is Yuan Wanxia¡¯s interview video.¡±

    [ Alright, but what does he mean by releasing this video? He wants to say that he¡¯s a young man?? Although this man is much younger than I thought, he should be in his thirties or forties, right?? How can he be called a young man? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. China can really wash. This man is more than enough to be my father. Why is he pretending to be a young man? ]

    [ Am I the only one who thinks that this female host is especially good-looking? I love her. This is the first time I feel that an Oriental woman looks so charming. ]

    More than twenty thousandments instantly appeared. Not only did everyone¡¯s anger not dissipate, but it also increased.

    Not only was this China fake, but they were also stubborn. In such a situation, they were still forcefully clearing her name.

    Originally, because Yuan Wanxia¡¯s style was magnificent and beautiful, theizens who especially liked him and spoke up for him saw this video and no longer defended Yuan Wanxia, joining the camp to attack Yuan Wanxia and China.

    Those people who knew manynguages did not have any pressure watching the interview video, so they watched the video with a stunned look before withdrawing to read thements.

    It was even more amazing.

    ¡°You misunderstood!!!!! This is indeed Yuan Wanxia¡¯s interview video, but Yuan Wanxia is that woman!!!¡±

    When thisment was posted, there were a thousand question marks below.

    [ I don¡¯t know Chinese. Don¡¯t lie to me. ]

    [ Who are you kidding? What¡¯s the point of the Chinese climbing over the wall to clear Yuan Wanxia¡¯s name? ]

    [ Oh my god, I learned painting. Our professor has already said that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s skills are beyond his. You¡¯re telling me that Yuan Wanxia is a woman? That¡¯s ridiculous. ]

    Even though the interview ended with a video of Xia Wanyuan painting on the spot,

    However, someizens did not even finish watching it. Anyway, everything that came out of China was fake.

    There was also a considerable number ofizens who felt that this video must have been edited.. After all, China¡¯s photoshop technology was recognized as one of the four great evil arts in Asia.

    Before the truth was exposed, the Chineseizens were like outsiders, criticizing the Qing University and Xia Wanyuan.

    However, the truth was already very clear. Xia Wanyuan was Yuan Wanxia and if she could not be called a young person at the age of 22, what was a young person?

    People knew that the Inte was scolding Xia Wanyuan and China on the Fins.

    The Chineseizens could not help it anymore.?<i>We scolded China because we expected better from them. Who are you to scold our country?</i>

    Theizens spontaneously formed a team and climbed over the wall to go to the external inte.

    There were many Chinese to begin with. Furthermore, they had been riding the waves in Weibo scolding battles all year round and had grasped the essence of their people. Poems, emoticons, hidden poems, rap, and all sorts of things could be tools forizens to fight.

    After a few rounds, theizenspletely criticized everyone who harshlymented on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount.

    Thements were gone, but the doubts about Yuan Wanxia¡¯s identity could not be eliminated.

    Even though Qing University tried their best to guarantee that Yuan Wanxia was indeed the 22-year-old Xia Wanyuan, the organizer of the exchange meeting was still from the Cherry Blossom country. They directly revoked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s qualification to be the champion.

    Then, the ranking was pushed down. The second ce painter from Cherry Blossoms became the champion of thepetition.

    When the news reached China, theizens were furious.

    [ Isn¡¯t this too shameless? ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. This is despicable. Xia Wanyuan should have been the champion in the first ce. ]

    [ This is what they call a conspiracy. They¡¯re really calling us thieves. We¡¯re really participating in thepetition. There¡¯s no problem. Their actions stunned me. ]

    The signal that the organizers had sent to the foreignizens about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ranking was that China had faked it.

    This Xia Wanyuan must have been specially packaged by China to save face and lie.

    In the hearts of manyizens who did not know China, how could there be such a young genius in a ce like China where everyone had to hold a red booklet on the streets? If they did not take it, they would be taken to prison.

    No matter what theizens said, the people on the outside Inte were the same. ¡°I won¡¯t listen, I won¡¯t listen. Your China is fake. We don¡¯t believe what the people from the counterfeit country say.¡±

    Chineseizens:?<i>I¡¯m so angry. Are these people really from developed countries? I¡¯m speechless.?</i>

    The higher-ups of Qing University and China had actually paid attention to this Inte battle.

    The higher-ups had specially sent someone to ask Qing University to see if there was a better solution.

    Although China had never had a good reputation outside, Yuan Wanxia still had a lot of fans on the Inte. This matter had also be very popr.

    An international conference was about to be held in China. The higher-ups did not want to make China¡¯s international image ugly because of this.

    The Qing University confidently guaranteed to the higher-ups that they would definitely resolve this problem perfectly.

    Xia Wanyuan was now a professor at Qing University and a public figure praised by the country. The Chinese Painter Associationpleted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s admission process as quickly as possible.

    Before the International Painter Competition registration ended, he stuffed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name into the list of participants in China.

    The painting and calligraphypetition this time was not the kind of youthpetition that was held in Cherry Blossom Country.

    The participants in the International Painter Competition was chosen by the Painter Association of every country. Thispetition was of extremely high value. Everyone in every country wanted to take this award back, so they had chosen top painters from every country. It could be said to be a true fight between immortals.

    In the past few years, the best result China had achieved was a silver award. This year, the Painter Association was very optimistic that Xia Wanyuan could win a gold award.

    The main character that theizens were discussing, Xia Wanyuan, did not pay attention to the outside world. She had been busy with the embroidery workshop recently.

    The embroidery was indeed very beautiful, but many of the styles designed in the market were very old-fashioned. Shen Qian found arge number of designers and finally gave a proposal that Xia Wanyuan was not very satisfied with.

    After flipping through the design n in her hand again and again, Xia Wanyuan frowned and called her colleague at Qing University.

    ¡°Design department? Of course. Our school. If you want to attend sses, I¡¯ll help you contact them. I¡¯ll send you the schedule when the timees. You can go and listen.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I had a problem that I didn¡¯t resolve yesterday. I¡¯ll send you a WeChat message. Help me take a look.¡± The colleagueughed heartily.

    ¡°Okay, send it. Let me take a look.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan sent a copy of the answer to her colleague¡¯s question.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling sent a WeChat message.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw a nk emoticon.

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She had recently liked to discover all sorts of modern emoticons. She felt that it was very interesting. Jun Shiling often chatted with her, and he would send such emoticons from time to time.

    Xia Wanyuan returned the expression of a cat rubbing its head in its owner¡¯s hand and acting coquettishly. Just as she sent it, Jun Shiling called. ¡°Have you eaten?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s voice, although they had only separated in the morning, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart still fluctuated. ¡°I want to eat with you.¡±

    A deepugh came from the other end of the line. One could imagine Jun Shiling smiling beautifully through the phone.

    ¡°Sticky.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded. ¡°It¡¯s too hot outside. Don¡¯te out.. I¡¯ll go back and eat with you now.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s too far. Aren¡¯t you busy in the office?¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to see Jun Shiling, but he had many things to do in the Jun Corporation.

    ¡°No matter how busy I am in the afternoon, I want to eat with you too. Wait for me.¡±

    Jun Shiling handed the rest to Lin Jing and returned to the manor.

    The employees of the corporation watched Jun Shiling leave and clicked their tongues in wonder.

    ¡°Think about it. Three months ago, CEO Jun would still arrive at thepany at seven in the morning and leave at eleven at night. He¡¯s like a working machine.¡±

    ¡°With my years of experience in CEO Wen, CEO Jun must be keeping a beautifuldy boss!¡±

    ¡°Forget it. If he really has ady boss, why isn¡¯t there any news at all? I guess she¡¯s probably a little lover, and she¡¯s even the type of flirtatious slut that can charm the cold-hearted CEO Jun to this extent.¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about? Since you¡¯re talking so happily, let me listen too.¡± Everyone was chatting enthusiastically when Lin Jing walked over with a smile that was as refreshing as the spring breeze.

    Everyone immediately shut their mouths and dispersed in fear.

    Lin Jing supported his spectacles behind him. ¡®I was the only one who heard this. If CEO Jun heard others say that Xia Wanyuan was a little lover, I¡¯m afraid this group of people would be in trouble. None of them would be able to escape.¡¯

    At that moment, the flirtatious little lover that everyone had imagined was lyingzily on the sofa, reading a book that was thicker than a brick, waiting for Jun Shiling toe home.

    It was midsummer, and the heat outside was oppressive. Even though he had only gotten out of the car and walked a few steps to the main building, Jun Shiling was already covered in ayer of heat.

    After entering, Jun Shiling blew at the air-conditioner for a while to reduce the heat on his clothes. Only then did he walk over and pick Xia Wanyuan up from the sofa.

    ¡°Have you waited long? Let¡¯s eat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan clung to Jun Shiling¡¯s neck.

    In her previous life, her spine was not good, so she had the habit of lying wherever she went.

    Now, Jun Shiling wished he could hang her on his body all the time. He wished he could hug her wherever he went. This also satisfied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wishes. Xia Wanyuan felt that she had been increasinglyzy recently.

    Uncle Wang had just entered the door when he saw Jun Shiling hugging Xia Wanyuan and coaxing her to eat.

    Even Uncle P, who had undergone the most professional butler training, could not help but blush.

    <i>Tsk, tsk. I really didn¡¯t expect that Young Master¡¯s aura, which could freeze anything within three meters of him in the past, would be like this after meeting Xia Wanyuan.?</i>

    Uncle Wang looked at them for a while and felt that the sweet atmosphere in the hall was not suitable for an old man like him to enter, so he quietly left.

    Her colleague from Qing University quickly sent the timetable over. Xia Wanyuan copied it.

    She thought that she was not satisfied with other people¡¯s designs anyway. As long as one grasped the principle and had a lot of practice, it was easy to learn anything.

    She nned to learn modern design theories herself ande up with a satisfactory n.

    ¡°Um, Professor Xia, I have something to ask you for help with. If you don¡¯t have time, forget it. I¡¯ll find someone else.¡± After sending the timetable, his colleague hesitantly sent Xia Wanyuan a message.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan replied quickly.

    ¡°I have a calligraphy ss tonight. It¡¯s an elective ss. There are no requirements for the contents of the ss. My child has a parent-teacher meeting, and her mother isn¡¯t home. I was wondering if you could help me substitute for a ss?¡±

    ¡°No problem. Just tell me the time and ce.¡± Seeing the affirmative answer, the colleague was especially happy. Although he had not seen Xia Wanyuan in person, he was filled with good feelings for this young colleague.

    The colleague thanked her profusely and sent the time and location of the lesson to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had never attended modern sses. The original owner of the body was a bad student who only knew how to sleep and y games in ss. She had no impression of modern school sses.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. The essence of teaching in ancient times was probably the same. It was enough to make the students interested and remember the contents of the lesson.

    With this in mind, Xia Wanyuan did not dwell on the contents of the evening ss anymore and quietly studied design books.

    Jun Shiling rushed back to thepany after dinner. He had wanted to go back early to apany Xia Wanyuan for the entire afternoon.

    ]However, just as he was about to get off work, he received a message from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to Qing University for a lesson tonight. You don¡¯t have to rush home ~¡±

    Jun Shiling replied with an emoticon of a cat looking indifferent, causing Xia Wanyuan tough.

    The elective sses in university, especially those on calligraphy and painting, were usually full when school started.

    Slowly, the number of people in the ssroom decreased. Only a few were really interested.

    The students of Qing University were more resistant to skipping sses.

    Although there were many people, many of them were ying with their phones, chatting, and the ssroom was noisy.

    ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s going to be the secondst ss today, right? I don¡¯t know what the final exam for this ss will be. I hope that the teacher can set the questions simpler.¡±

    ¡°Let me say this quietly. This teacher is a little boring in ss. If not for the fact that I don¡¯t want to skip sses and get points deducted, I would rather study in the library.¡±

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t the teacher here today? Doesn¡¯t he usuallye fifteen minutes early?¡±

    Seeing that it was almost time for ss, everyone began to look around and guess if there was no ss today.

    At that moment, the students sitting at the door of the first row suddenly sucked in a cold breath.

    Everyone looked at the door in horror.<i>?From their expressions, could it be that we were going to take the exam today?!!</i>

    Then, when the person outside the door walked in, everyone¡¯s expression was even more shocked than taking an exam.

    The originally noisy ssroom becamepletely quiet.

    Everyone watched in shock as Xia Wanyuan slowly walked in.

    After all, it was a lesson. Xia Wanyuan was dressed more inly. She was wearing a long white dress that made her look like a swaying daffodil.

    Many of the ssrooms in the Qing University were old. The lights were a little dim.

    Everyone lowered their heads to look at their skin that was illuminated by the dim lights like ayer of gray fog. Then, they looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was as fair as ayer of soft light.

    <i>NM¡­ So even the lighting depends on the face. This world is too heartbreaking.?</i>

    The fact that a female celebrity in the entertainment industry was a master of Chinese arts and was a professor at Qing University had already spread on the forums and public ounts of the school.

    The students were also skeptical. Yuan Wanxia had always been mysterious, and no one had seen this legendary person before.

    They did not expect to see Xia Wanyuan so quickly.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m today¡¯s substitute teacher, Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice spread through the ssroom through the microphone, waking up a group of stunned students.

    With that, Xia Wanyuan turned around and wrote the words Xia Wanyuan on the ckboard with a piece of chalk.

    As soon as those three words appeared, the entire ssroom believed that she was the real Yuan Wanxia.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s appraise painting today.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood gracefully.

    The students below reacted and hurriedly picked up their phones to inform their roommates who had note to ss. Soon, the news that Xia Wanyuan was attending sses in the 103rd lecture theater of the Art Building spread throughout the entire Qing University.

    In just ten minutes, a beautiful scenery appeared in the campus of Qing University. Arge group of people ran towards the art building in a grandiose manner. Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to grind ink. The entire ssroom was already filled with people. Even the steps were filled with students who hade to listen.

    It was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen such a grand situation. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her dimples appeared.

    The ssmates sitting in the first few rows saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile up close. In their hearts, they thought,?<i>Mommy, I see a fairy!!!?</i>

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at this piece of calligraphy first.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at a piece of calligraphy on the projection.

    There were a fewrge pieces of white paper hanging on the ckboard. As Xia Wanyuan exined the characteristics of the words, she casually wrote down various words with different styles on the paper, then let everyone distinguish the differences.

    When Xia Wanyuan spoke about words, not only did she talk about the style of the words and the way it was written, but she also quoted the scriptures and various stories behind the person who wrote them.

    The students who hade because they were interested in Xia Wanyuan ended uppletely immersed in her ss.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan herself knew Chinese painting and hand-drawing. Recently, she had learned all sorts of colors, words, and emoticons. Sometimes, when she wrote, she would naturally bring some simple paintings, which aroused the interest of the students.

    In a lecture hall with more than ten rows of seats, nearly five to six hundred people were sitting in it, yet it was so quiet that only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice could be heard.

    Time passed quickly.

    ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s lesson. When everyone goes back, you can write ording to the method taught today. Now, ss is over.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the bell rang.

    Xia Wanyuan packed her books and prepared to leave. Then, the originally quiet ssroom suddenly erupted with apuse. Itsted for a long time before dissipating.

    ¡°Teacher, will youe and teach us in the future?¡± A bolder student sitting in the first row tried to speak to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how the school arranges it. If there¡¯s an arrangement, I¡¯lle again.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words caused a wave of cheers. In just a short lesson, everyone already liked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s erudite and lively way of teaching.

    Furthermore, the most important thing was that this teacher was too good-looking. Who would still look at their phones in this ss? The teacher was much better looking than their phones.

    Amidst the cheers of the students, Xia Wanyuan left the ssroom.

    Just as she left the ssroom, her phone rang.

    ¡°Look to your right. I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked to the right. Jun Shiling¡¯s car was parked there. There were many carsing and going in school, but they had never seen such a luxury car. As everyone walked, they looked curiously at the Phantom parked by the roadside.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and the chauffeur opened the car door for her.

    ¡°Teacher Xia, you performed really well today.¡± Jun Shiling handed Xia Wanyuan a cup of tea to soothe her throat.

    ¡°You went in?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise.

    ¡°I came half an hour ago.¡± Jun Shiling pointed at the window beside him. ¡°From this angle, I can see that Professor Xia spoke really well. I wonder if I have the honor of listening to Professor Xia teach me a lesson alone.¡±

    ¡°What ss do you want to attend?¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s praise, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed, making Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darken.

    Jun Shiling leaned over and whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    Xia Wanyuan almost choked. ¡°Go away!¡±

    There was a smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but he was not angry at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s re. ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t teach me, I can teach you too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Can you be more serious?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her. ¡°Why should I be serious in front of you?¡±

    Sensing that someone had pinched his waist, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had left, the waves she had left were still there.

    Some students secretly took photos of Xia Wanyuan in ss and posted them on the school forum.

    ¡°!!!! Look who taught us today? Amazing!! I¡¯ve always been doubtful that Yuan Wanxia is Xia Wanyuan. I didn¡¯t expect that Xia Wanyuan woulde to teach us today. Let me show you Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. They¡¯re really beautiful!¡±

    [ Erm¡­ thread owner, your photography skills are not good. Can you take a few photos of Xia Wanyuan? Don¡¯t you know if I want to see people or words? ]

    Soon, the person who posted the post uploaded a few more photos.

    Although there was clearly some dim light, it made Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a white dress, look like she was swaying. The words on the whiteboard that were still ink formed a sharp contrast to the lustrous white on Xia Wanyuan.

    It was clearly a simple ck and white color, but it seemed to sh with thousands of styles.

    [ Mommy, I see a fairy! ]

    [ I want to go back and beat my roommate to death!! He told me to sleep and not go to ss. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t go. ]

    [ I wonder if Xia Wanyuan will have the chance toe to ss again. Boohoo, I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying. I want to listen to her sses too. ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lesson at Qing University attracted the attention of the entire school. The school leaders saw how popr Xia Wanyuan was and discussed for a while, considering letting Xia Wanyuan officiallye to school to teach.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan had revealed in the program that she was Yuan Wanxia, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan had appeared in public as Yuan Wanxia.

    Various marketing ounts and news media reported this matter.

    The photo that everyone was using was taken by a student from Qing University. Xia Wanyuan stood on the podium, her pen still in her hand. She was exining something to the students with her head half turned.

    The brightest white and ckest ink attacked everyone¡¯s aesthetic sense.

    [ If I had such a teacher in ss, would I fail? ]

    [ The person in front, what does failing have to do with the teacher? How can I listen to the contents of the ss when I¡¯m attending Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss? I guess it¡¯s all about face. ]

    [ No, I¡¯m here to appear and talk about the method. I was lucky to be present for a lesson. Although I did look at her face at the beginning, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture was really especially good. Unknowingly, I was attracted to her. She led the ss through all sorts of scriptures. Furthermore, she knows how to draw all sorts of cute paintings. She¡¯s simply amazing. ]

    The trending topic targeting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses had been hanging on Weibo, and the poprity was high.

    Just as everyone was curious about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss, a Weibo ount that was certified as a university professor reposted this Weibo post about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Qing University to be reduced to using hype to increase their enrollment rate.¡±

    Amidst the exmations and praises, this person¡¯sment was especially eye-catching. It immediately triggered everyone¡¯s attacks.

    Facing everyone¡¯s attacks, this person did not panic at all and sent another message.

    ¡°As long as you draw the foundation on the paper beforehand and have a little calligraphy foundation, you can write such words.. The ckboard in the ssroom is so far away, who knows if it was tampered with.¡±

    Immediately after, this person posted another video. On the camera that was pulled far away, there was a painting with the same words as Xia Wanyuan. Then, this word slowly zoomed in, and one could see the edge that had been drawn below.

    Li Xia: ¡°This country has always been a country that cares about its face. Even if you beat me to death, I don¡¯t believe that Yuan Wanxia is a little girl in her twenties and also an unpopr celebrity in the entertainment industry. There are so many masters and painters in the foreign countries who said that it¡¯s impossible, but you still believe them. Your countrymen are really naive.¡±

    There were manyizens in China who advocated foreign affairs and despised their country. They believed in foreign words without a doubt and had all sorts of ridicule and doubts about domestic matters.

    There was a sea of criticism against Yuan Wanxia on the Inte, including many famous masters.

    These haters believed in the words of the foreign masters without a doubt. Now that Li Xia was leading the way, many people echoed him in thements.

    [ That¡¯s right. I¡¯m dying ofughter. Don¡¯t you know what level your country is at? You can¡¯t wait to push your reputation to the limit every day. I¡¯m afraid that the matter of Yuan Wanxia impersonating a young man will be exposed. Isn¡¯t it normal to get someone to rece her now? ]

    [ Your country? What trash Yin Yang person? If you have the ability, don¡¯t use Chinese. Put down your chopsticks and curse at us. You haters really disgust me. ]

    [ A foreign expert¡¯s fart is fragrant. Get lost quickly and don¡¯t waste China¡¯s food. ]

    There were also many foreign reporters on Weibo. They intercepted some Weibo posts that questioned Xia Wanyuan and posted them back home.

    After a few rounds,

    The news headlines became ¡°China and Yuan Wanxia faked it, causing the Chinese to question it.¡±

    The students of Qing University were about to die of anger. They only hated that they had been paying attention to sses and watching Xia Wanyuan in ss and had not recorded the video of her sses up close.

    The inte was abuzz, but Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t pay attention to it. She had been busy reading all sorts of design books and the Qing University research project.

    ¡°Wanyuan, the third episode of Singer will start filming the day after tomorrow. Don¡¯t forget, we¡¯lle and pick you up when the timees.¡±

    Only after hearing Tang Yin¡¯s reminder did Xia Wanyuan remember that she still had the variety programme, Singer.

    ¡°Okay, got it.¡±

    Just as she hung up Tang Yin¡¯s call, An Rao called.

    ¡°Sister! Where are you?¡±

    After participating in the filming of the show abroad for nearly a week, she had finally returned to China. It had ended the days of eating grass and eating vegetables every day. An Rao could not wait to find someone to y with.

    Flipping open her phone¡¯s contact list, An Rao looked around. Probably only Xia Wanyuan would care about her, so she called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°At home. Why?¡±

    <i>At home?</i>?An Rao¡¯s eyes darted around<i>. Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan¡¯s house Jun Shiling¡¯s? F*ck, the home of the richest man!?</i>

    ¡°Ahem, um, have you eaten? If you haven¡¯t eaten, I¡¯ll treat you.¡± An Rao spoke halfway and seemed to be regretful. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s just that the weather outside is a little hot. It¡¯s a little¡­ you know?¡±

    ¡°Come to my house.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice had a hint of a smile as she gave an address. ¡°At the end of Xing Yuan Road.¡±

    ¡°Okay!!¡± An Rao was happy. After hanging up the phone, she got the chauffeur to change the route.

    ¡°Little ancestor, where are you going again?¡± The manager looked at An Rao suspiciously. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to steal food?¡±

    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°I¡¯ll look for it.¡±

    Halfway through her sentence, An Rao recalled that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling didn¡¯t publicize their rtionship. She couldn¡¯t say that she was looking for Xia Wanyuan. It would be bad if it leaked.

    ¡°Aiyah, I promise. I definitely won¡¯t eat braised pork. I¡¯ve already quit. Believe me.¡± An Rao winked at her assistant, giving him goosebumps.

    When the chauffeur finally arrived at the end of Xingyuan Road,

    The assistant looked at the magnificent manor in front of him. ¡°F*ck!! An Rao, you found a sugar daddy behind my back?!¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯m looking for my good sister. I¡¯m leaving. Go back yourself.¡± An Rao twisted her waist and got out of the car. She waved at her assistant, who could not stop her even if he wanted to.

    The servant received the news and saw that An Rao was here, so she led her in.

    An Rao was not someone who had never seen the world, but as she walked in, she was still shocked by the magnificent and luxurious manor.

    In the main building, Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the carpet by the window, surrounded by a pile of books and fabric.

    ¡°Sister ~¡± An Rao put down her bag and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. She looked curiously at the book in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Reading. Where did you juste from?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao¡¯s dress.

    ¡°The airport.¡± Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, An Rao looked at her ck gown. ¡°Damn, it¡¯s all because of those b * stards marketing ounts. They thought I was old-fashioned even when I wore a shirt and wrote nonsense. Later on, I dressed up beautifully wherever I went. Let¡¯s see how they will talk nonsense.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao speechlessly.

    ¡°Stop looking. Look, you¡¯ve already seen so much.¡± An Rao sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, bring me to y games. I lost my star again.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down the book. She had been reading for the entire morning and was indeed tired.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°I knew you were the best!¡± An Rao happily took out her phone and began her daily scamming trip.

    Xia Wanyuan had a quiet personality, but An Rao¡¯s noisy nature was actually quite interesting. Xia Wanyuan yed games with An Rao for a while and ate together.

    Then, she sat on the carpet and ate snacks while listening to An Rao talk about the strange gossip in the entertainment industry.

    ¡°You¡¯re saying? Yan Ci is Fu Li¡¯s junior brother?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I also heard from others that Fu Li has done Yan Ci a great favor. They have a pretty good rtionship.¡± An Rao did not know why Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked this, but she still honestly told Xia Wanyuan what she knew.

    A look of understanding shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She had never thought of why Yan Ci would act in ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. Now, she knew..<i>?It must be because of Fu Li.?</i>

    ¡°Sister, let me ask you a question.¡± An Rao suddenly approached Xia Wanyuan mysteriously.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

    ¡°Ahem, um, what¡¯s going on between you and CEO Jun? Why didn¡¯t the two of you publicize your rtionship?¡± An Rao could not understand why a beauty like Xia Wanyuan, who was also a professor at Qing University, was willing to hide the marriage.

    ¡°It¡¯s not time to publicize yet. We¡¯ll talk about it in the future.¡±

    ¡°Are you unwilling or CEO Jun unwilling?¡± An Rao looked sincere and earnest. ¡°Sister, this is such arge manor. I don¡¯t know how many little demons want to enter. You have to trap CEO Jun properly. Have you seen the 360 ways to trap a man I sent you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was silent. ¡°Do you still want to go on to diamond? If you want to, skip this topic.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I won¡¯t say anymore.¡± However, An Rao did not give up on the idea of helping Xia Wanyuan.

    The two of them ate and yed. Soon, it was afternoon. The manager was afraid that An Rao would secretly eat outside and had already called more than ten times.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get going first. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time. I bought some clothes at the fashion week in Ennd a few days ago. I¡¯ll send them to you when I get back.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and waved at An Rao.

    The moment An Rao returned, she packed up the gifts she had carefully chosen in Ennd and got someone to send them to the manor.

    It was the weekend tomorrow. Jun Shiling got off work early and went to the kindergarten to pick Jun Yin up, then sent him to Old Master Jun.

    When he returned to the manor, he happened to see the servants holding a delivery bag.

    ¡°Madam¡¯s?¡± Jun Shiling nced at it and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name on it.

    ¡°Yes, Young Master. A courier just sent this over. He said that it¡¯s for Madam.¡±

    ¡°Give it to me.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to take the envelope and entered the main building.

    Xia Wanyuan was eating snacks on the sofa. Seeing Jun Shiling return, she reached out habitually. Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. ¡°There¡¯s your package with ashes on it. Shall I help you open it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t think about anything else. She had just ordered a set of design-rted materials online these few days. Thinking that the materials had arrived, she nodded.

    ¡°Okay, the thing I ordered online should have arrived,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she picked up the c and took a sip.

    Jun Shiling tore open the bag and paused.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s stiffness and looked at his hand.

    ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Xia Wanyuan choked on her c.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly patted her back and helped her breathe. When Xia Wanyuan finally calmed down, he gritted his teeth. ¡°This is what you ordered?¡±

    In the bag that Jun Shiling was holding in his left hand, a half-ckce was revealed. It was a very light but exquisite bra with intricate patterns.

    The brand An Rao had chosen was famous for being ¡°sexy¡±. Hence, the set in the bag made one blush just by looking at it.

    Jun Shiling imagined what it would look like on Xia Wanyuan and felt a heat rush to his head.

    Xia Wanyuan snatched the package and walked upstairs. ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it. Don¡¯t even think of me wearing it.¡±

    Jun Shiling chased after her and picked her up.

    In the end, under Jun Shiling¡¯s coaxing, Xia Wanyuan still wore it.

    That night, Jun Shiling was like a fierce beast. He brought Xia Wanyuan up the peak time and time again until the next morning.

    At three in the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan finally woke up in a daze. Her WeChat message kept ringing.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, which was covered in red marks, reached out to take the phone.

    Countless messages from An Rao.

    ¡°Sister, I saw a barbecue restaurantst night that was delicious. Shall I treat you to lunch?¡±

    ¡°Where are you? Sister, are you still asleep?¡±

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. How¡¯s my gift? Hehe, did CEO Jun transform into a wolf or a leopardst night? Sister, let me tell you. Men only like this. It¡¯ll definitely make him unable to stop himself and be loyal.¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. Sister, are you awake? I¡¯m so bored. I knelt down ten consecutive times.. I need your help.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 502: Chapter 503</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan sent a speechless expression, then replied with a few words before closing her phone.

    An Rao waited for a day and finally received news from Xia Wanyuan.

    She clicked on it and it said, ¡°Stay in the Golden Bureau.¡±

    An Rao looked up at the sky and sighed.?<i>Our sisterhood is fake!! My Goddess of the Night two-piece outfit was simply given away for nothing!!</i>

    Just as Xia Wanyuan put down her phone, the bedroom door was pushed open and Jun Shiling walked in with a ss of lemon water.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know why Jun Shiling was so energetic. He only let her go after six in the morning. Then, when she was in a daze, she felt Jun Shiling get up from the bed without resting.

    ¡°Baby, you¡¯re awake?¡± The satisfied man¡¯s eyebrows were filled with passion.

    Xia Wanyuan sat up. From her neck to her arm, Jun Shiling¡¯s marks were everywhere.

    The dark red marks matched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fair skin, making Jun Shiling, who was already full, feel an impulse.

    Xia Wanyuan ncedzily at Jun Shiling. ¡°Put away your thoughts. Why don¡¯t you sleep in the living room downstairs tonight?¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. He sat by the bed and fed Xia Wanyuan water, then got the servants to send food over and patiently coaxed her to finish it.

    ¡°I guessed that you would wake up at this time, so I rushed back from thepany. Rest for a while more. There are still many things to do in thepany, so I¡¯ll go over first.¡±

    Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms was veryfortable. Xia Wanyuan did not want to move, so she only rubbed Jun Shiling¡¯s chest, tickling his heart.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to work?¡± Jun Shiling said, but his arms around Xia Wanyuan did not move.

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving?¡± Jun Shiling repeated.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan hum softly. Her voice was soft. ¡°I want you to apany me.¡±

    A victorious smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    He had gone to thepany to settle everything early in the morning so that he coulde back early to apany Xia Wanyuan.

    He especially liked to see Xia Wanyuan rely on him, so he tried to say that he was leaving.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan still could not bear to part with him.

    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll go and tell Lin Jing about some instructions. I¡¯ll do my work tomorrow. I¡¯ll reluctantly apany you at home today.¡± Jun Shiling held back the joy in his voice and tried to appear calm.

    At that moment, Lin Jing sent Jun Shiling a message.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you weren¡¯t around in the afternoon. I ced a few documents on the table first for you to read tomorrow.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and naturally saw these words.

    ¡°Prepare to go to work? Forcefully apany me?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. Lin Jing was not someone who acted on his own. If he said that Jun Shiling was going to work tomorrow, then it must be that Jun Shiling had already told him.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling took off his shoes and entered the nket, hugging herpletely. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired yesterday. Sleep with me for a while.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s arm speechlessly. He grabbed her and ced her on his chest. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to sleep, do you want to do something else?¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, sleep with Xiao Bao tonight!¡±

    Seeing that he had angered her, Jun Shiling hurriedly coaxed her. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong. Sleep well. I won¡¯t speak anymore.¡±

    The two of them hugged each other and slept until night fell.

    After replying to An Rao¡¯s message, Xia Wanyuan switched off her phone.

    When she switched on her phone again, she realized that Shen Qian had called her a few times and left a message on WeChat.

    It was not easy for the drinks from Bai Xiang to win thewsuit with Jiayin Group. After they were bought by Xiafeng Group, their sales had been rising recently.

    At that moment, someone suddenlyined that theirpany¡¯s product had a quality problem.

    Once Shen Qian knew about this, he rushed to the scene and reported it to Xia Wanyuan before leaving.

    Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian. ¡°Is it safe to drink?¡±

    ¡°CEO Xia, this matter is moreplicated. I¡¯m at the scene now. I¡¯ll report to you after I negotiate with them.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was still assured about Shen Qian.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was eight o¡¯clock at night.

    Jun Shiling, who was behind her, had already woken up when Xia Wanyuan called. He rubbed against her neck. ¡°Are you getting up?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and sat on the spot consciously, waiting for Jun Shiling to help her put on her clothes.

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. After quickly putting on his clothes, he brought Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes for her to wear.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat. I¡¯ll take you somewhere after dinner.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F far away, the mes of war raged. Missiles streaked across the sky, and the fire kept smashing into the streets and alleys, causing amotion.

    At the end of the street, a man in a white shirt was squatting on the ground, bandaging the injured child¡¯s wound.

    The blood dyed his clothes into a mess, but it could not hide his gentleness.

    ¡°Hey, let¡¯s go. This ce is about to be bombed.¡± A Chinese voice sounded with the lightness of a young man.

    It was rare to see a Chinese in a ce filled with foreigners. Xia Yu could not help but remind him.

    Wei Zimu looked up and saw a young man in military uniform in front of him. There was actually a hint of familiarity in his eyes.

    Just as he was about to speak, he saw a stream of light smash down from afar. ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Just as Wei Zimu finished speaking, the stream of light had already smashed into a ce not far away. The huge sound stunned everyone.

    ¡°F*ck.¡± Xia Yu endured the huge explosion and picked up the child in front of Wei Zimu. ¡°Let¡¯s go. This ce is about to explode!¡±

    Wei Zimu looked at the streams of light that were about to shoot over and followed Xia Yu..

    The cross-country truck drove out for a long time until the sound of explosions slowly disappeared.

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Wei Zimu looked at Xia Yu, who was driving beside him.

    ¡°Xia Yu.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s young face had a look of maturity, as he grew up gradually.

    Wei Zimu had expected it, as he said, ¡°You¡¯re Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother?¡±

    Xia Yu stepped on the elerator and looked at Wei Zimu. ¡°You know my sister?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I do.¡± Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°Your sister treats you quite well, right?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu raised an eyebrow. ¡°My sister treats me the best.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Wei Zimu smiled warmly. ¡°Thank you for saving me. Put me down at the intersection in front. I still have something on.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not safe here.¡± Xia Yu looked at the schrly Wei Zimu. ¡°With your physique, why are you staying in this godforsaken ce?¡±

    ¡°I have something on. Just put me down. Please take this child out.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Yu had a mission. Since the person in front of him insisted, he did not persuade him further and put Wei Zimu down at the intersection.

    Xia Yu drove the child away. When the SUV disappeared at the end of the road, a few helicopters flew out from the direction they had just escaped.

    ¡°Pleasee back with us.¡± A few strong soldiers with guns alighted from the helicopter.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Wei Zimu looked at the people in front of him in disgust. Even though he was not close, he could smell the thick scent of blood on these people.

    The helicopter carried Wei Zimu and quickly disappeared into the sky.

    The city in the distance had already been blown up by streams of light. The ground was filled with ruins and smoke rose, covering thend with a hazy veil of darkness like ayer of despair that would never fall.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The manor was brightly lit.

    Ever since Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuanmunicated their intentions, no one else in the main building served them except when necessary.

    Firstly, Uncle Wang thought that the two of them were passionate and needed some private space. Secondly, the sweet atmosphere between the two of them was really unbearable for an old man like him, so he simply brought the others and left the main building.

    ¡°I can eat it myself.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling wanted to hug her even when she was peeling prawns, Xia Wanyuan felt that the two of them were really too sticky. She struggled to get up.

    ¡°Are you sure you can?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan suspiciously.

    ¡°Why not?¡± Xia Wanyuan said and was about to go down when she pulled on something. She gasped and fell back onto Jun Shiling.

    A chuckle came from above her head.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but punch Jun Shiling. ¡°Still smiling? It¡¯s all because of you, liar.¡±

    Every time, he would say it was thest time. Every time, he would go back on his word.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because the clothes you bought online were too alluring? Madam, you seduced me very sessfully this time!¡±

    ¡°I already said that I didn¡¯t buy that. An Rao bought it,¡± Xia Wanyuan tried her best to rify.

    ¡°Mm, I believe you.¡± Jun Shiling nodded seriously, but there was a mischievous smile in his eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to continue with this question. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you done peeling? I¡¯m hungry. You¡¯re so slow.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, here.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had lost her temper, not only was Jun Shiling not angry, but he also enjoyed it very much. He hurriedly brought the prawn meat in his hand to her mouth.

    God knew how much effort he had used to make Xia Wanyuan lose her cool.

    He had soaked in countless gentleness, which made Xia Wanyuan have the temperament of a little girl. And in the world, he was the only one who could see such a ¡°pampered¡± Xia Wanyuan.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling led the way out of the house. The fragrance of lotus flowers wafted in the air.

    With the light in the garden, Xia Wanyuan saw endless lotus leaves and lotus flowers in front of her. Under the light of the night, they dazzled with a faint luster.

    ¡°Why are there so many lotus flowers?¡±

    ¡°I wanted to bring you here in the morning.¡± Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the swing in the garden. ¡°But you¡¯ve been sleeping, so I didn¡¯t call you. You¡¯ll be able to see everything tomorrow morning. Do you like it?¡±

    From the first time Xia Wanyuan moved into the manor and the way she looked at the flowers, Jun Shiling knew that she liked all kinds of beautiful flowers.

    It was the time when the lotus flowers in midsummer bloomed. Although there was norgeke in the manor,

    However, as the saying goes, money can make the devil go away. Jun Shiling got someone to raise lotus flowers in a high-concentrated flower pot and spent half a day filling the entire manor.

    Xia Wanyuan took a deep breath. The fragrance of the lotus leaves wafted over, making her feel extremely good.

    The lights in the main building were extinguished, and the lights in the garden were slowly dimmed. His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he looked up at the sky filled with stars.

    ¡°Do you want to hear a story?¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind. The two of them sat on the swing and looked at the stars.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Jun Shiling picked a mythical story and told it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan had not gone out to see what the lotus flowers in the courtyard looked like when she saw the picture on WeChat.

    ¡°F*ck!!! Is this your house?!! It clearly didn¡¯t look like this when I left the day before yesterday!! Is this the world of rich big shots!!¡±

    Early in the morning, the trending topic about ¡°Lotus Manor¡± exploded with people who had woken up early. An Rao habitually scrolled through Weibo and saw a familiar scene.

    If not for the fact that there were only a few luxurious renovations in Beijing, An Rao would not dare to believe that the manor that seemed to have grown out of the lotus sea on this picture was the one she had gone to a few days ago.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan clicked on the photo and looked. The photographer should have been standing outside the manor.

    From his point of view, the entire manor seemed to have risen from the water. A lotus sea supported it.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡± Xia Wanyuan called out tentatively as the bathroom door was pushed open.

    Xia Wanyuan habitually opened her arms. Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up to put on her clothes.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go and take a look.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked to the balcony.

    It was darkst night and she could not see clearly. At this moment, she was standing on the balcony and looking down. The lotus leaves that connected to the sky were stretched like waves. Lotus flowers dotted them one after another. At first nce, it was impossible to think that this was a man-made lotus sea.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had also liked lotus flowers, but the Xia Dynasty was located in the ind area of the north and did not grow these.

    After she became a government official, there were also subsidiary countries in the south who sent some lotus flowers to the pce. Even if it was just a small vat, it was carefully nurtured and loved by her.

    Now, in front of her was an entire patch of lotus flowers that looked like the sea. Xia Wanyuan sighed.

    From her expression, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan liked this gift very much.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had seen countless rare treasures, was shocked by this scene, let alone theizens.

    Everyone was shocked by this godly extravagance. Furthermore, a set of photos of ¡°Rose Manor¡± a long time ago had been dug out.

    Everyonepared it.

    Other than flowers, the other buildings were the same.

    <i>F*ck!!</i>?Everyone was stunned.

    A few months ago, the photographer had identally entered the depths of the nts. The entire manor surrounded by roses shocked everyone.

    Other than the flowers, the buildings in this area werepletely the same. At a nce, one could tell that it was the former ¡°Rose Manor¡±.

    [ Oh my god¡­ I don¡¯t understand the joy of rich people. ]

    [ Am I the only one who¡¯s curious if this was nted or piled up by a flower pot? I¡¯m speechless. He¡¯s too rich. Goodbye. ]

    [ I heard that this is Jun Shiling¡¯s residence¡­ Thinking about it this way, it¡¯s normal. After all, he¡¯s so rich, so it¡¯s normal for him to do anything. ]

    [ I hope Jun Shiling isn¡¯t so insistent in terms of gender. Although I¡¯m a man, I want to fight for it too. I definitely didn¡¯t go for the manor (dog head) ]

    Jun Shiling once again upied the trending topic on Weibo. The official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation was often urged to get Jun Shiling to open Weibo.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling111111¡¯s reputation among the fans increased.

    As a person who chased after celebrities and had a negative image, because he was overly delusional and unrepentant, he was boycotted by Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans and appeared on the fan cklist all year round.

    Every Weibo post he did would attract ridicule and attacks from fans.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuany on the swing and poured some drinks into Master Liu¡¯s new product. Then, she took a picture and posted it on Weibo.

    Lotus leaf lotus flowers in the background, and a clear cup with a hint of green. The opening of the cup was like the edge of a lotus leaf, and there was a faintly discernible lotus flower in the cup.

    If the color was not adjusted well, such a style would be very ugly. However, with Old Master Liu¡¯s guidance and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s guidance, the color of the cup was bright with a hint of green. After pouring into the beverage, the lotus flower was budding, making it very beautiful.

    Originally, Jun Shiling¡¯s ¡°Lotus Manor¡± was hotly discussed on Weibo. When Xia Wanyuan suddenly posted this Weibo post, everyone was stunned by the shape of the cup. Most people went to the porcin online shop to ce an order after seeing the photo.

    Some people also noticed the background of the photo that Xia Wanyuan had posted. It also had lotus flowers that filled the sky.

    [¡­ Jun Shiling has just gone onto the trending topic, yet you posted such a background. It¡¯s a little obvious that you¡¯re trying to gain attention¡­ ]

    [ Can¡¯t even post the lotus flowers? Why? Is Jun Shiling the spokesperson for the lotus flowers? ]

    Even though everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan was Yuan Wanxia, there were many professors in Qing University, but only Jun Shiling could be found in China. In everyone¡¯s eyes, there was still a huge gap between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    The fans and anti-fans began to fight again. After Xia Wanyuan posted on Weibo, she switched off her phone and didn¡¯t look at themotion.

    The production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had already reached the end of the filming. She had to stay at the production team today and see if there was anything the director needed her to refilm.

    When she went to the production team again, everyone looked at her differently.

    In the past, when they saw Xia Wanyuan hugging a book that was thicker than a brick on the production team, most people thought that she was putting on an act. In the end, she was really reading it, and it was even a professor at Qing University.

    <i>A professor at Qing University!?</i>

    In the eyes of most ordinary people, someone who could be a professor at the University of Qing must be very knowledgeable. In addition, Xia Wanyuan usually had a good temper, so everyone was more friendly to her.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re here? Congrattions.¡± Li Heng waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You still need to film a few more scenes for your stage scene.. Come and film after changing your clothes.¡±

    The scenes to be filmed during the post-recording process were much simpler than the normal filming process. Around ten in the morning, Li Heng gave Xia Wanyuan a break.

    Although the weather was a little hot that day, the blue sky and white clouds were endless.

    Since Xia Wanyuan had nothing to do, she walked along the moat of the capital. The capital was an old city with many ancient buildings left behind.

    As Xia Wanyuan walked, she looked around. Under arge tree in the alley, she saw two old men ying chess.

    The two elders seemed to be in a tug-of-war. Xia Wanyuan walked from afar to a ce close to them, but she didn¡¯t see the two elders move their chess pieces.

    Since ancient times, China had a tradition of watching chess. Xia Wanyuan sat beside the two elders and watched the game quietly.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair for half an hour. The two elders were still staring at the chessboard seriously without moving a single piece.

    Qing University sent Xia Wanyuan a message. Xia Wanyuan took a look and stood up to leave.

    ¡°There¡¯s no solution to this one,¡± the old men, who were like two sculptures, finally said.

    ¡°Then I won¡¯t return the meal I owe you. Hahaha!¡± The old man opposite himughed heartily. Clearly, he also felt that there was no way to resolve this chess game.

    Only then did the two elders notice Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting beside them. However, Xia Wanyuan looked like a passerby who was taking advantage of the cold under the tree. The two elders did not n to speak to her. They tidied up their cups and stools.

    Before Xia Wanyuan left, she picked up a white piece and ced it on the chessboard before leaving.

    When the two elders packed up and prepared to leave,

    ¡°Oh my god! Look at our game!¡±

    Following hispanion¡¯s hand, the old man also saw the game of chess that had been transformed from death into life on the stone table.

    ¡°Could it be that girl from just now??¡± There was shock in the old man¡¯s eyes, but he could not believe it.?<i>How could such a young girl do something that even we could not break?</i>

    The two elders hurriedly walked to the alley, but they could not find anyone.

    ¡°I wonder if it¡¯s a coincidence or if that girl is really capable.¡± The younger old man looked at the destroyed chessboard again. ¡°We have to find her. She¡¯s a good seedling!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had long left the alley and sat in Chen Yun¡¯s car.

    In her previous life, she had been personally taught skills by a chess expert. In her opinion, the game just now was actually not difficult.

    Hence, she felt that these two old people who liked to y chess were just killing their time. She casually helped them and did not take it to heart.

    ¡°Wanyuan, where are you going now?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the apartment.¡± Xia Wanyuan had to go to Qing University in the afternoon and eat with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun sent Xia Wanyuan to the apartment and left. Xia Wanyuan went upstairs herself. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she was hugged by someone.

    ¡°Sister! I missed you so much!¡±

    An Rao was dressed in a little sling, looking as charming as a little vixen who was about to lie to Tang Seng, but her eyes were confused and cute.

    An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long-sleeved shirt and pants, and her eyes shed with mischief. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. How intense was it? You actually don¡¯t even dare to wear short sleeves and shorts.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed An Rao away. ¡°You¡¯re not going to work?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already gone!¡± Speaking of this, An Rao was especially angry. ¡°I woke up at four o¡¯clock to film some sunrise with them. I just came back from work. I¡¯m exhausted.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened the door and An Rao followed Xia Wanyuan into the house very naturally.

    ¡°Sister, why did you remember to stay in the straw house here today?¡±

    Speaking of this, An Rao¡¯s heart ached. She had originally spent a lot of money to buy this high-end house. She had thought that she was at the peak of her life, but when she saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s house, she immediately felt that this was a straw house.

    ¡°Come and have lunch. I¡¯ll be leaving in a while.¡±

    ¡°Alright, what do you want to eat for lunch?¡± An Rao secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Her manager strictly controlled her diet. Only by following Xia Wanyuan could she have some meat to eat.

    However, An Rao¡¯s n failed.

    Not long after, while she was ying with Xia Wanyuan, the door suddenly opened.

    Seeing that cold man, An Rao shuddered. No matter how far away she was, An Rao felt that she was about to be frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold aura on Jun Shiling.

    An Rao, who had wanted to scrounge a meal of braised pork here a second ago, cowardly found an excuse and slipped away.

    What a joke. She was afraid that she would suffer from indigestion if she ate with Jun Shiling.

    An Rao was really curious.<i>?How could Xia Wanyuan tolerate Jun Shiling being so cold? Wouldn¡¯t she feel cold facing an iceberg every day?</i>

    Meanwhile, the iceberg in An Rao¡¯s impression was patiently coaxing Xia Wanyuan to eat.. His eyes were filled with gentleness.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling sent her to the Qing University¡¯s entrance before going to thepany.

    Since she had already attended sses at Qing University, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it anymore. After all, wearing a mask was quite suffocating.

    The current Xia Wanyuan was a popr person in Qing University. From the moment she entered the door, the sound of cameras taking photos had never stopped.

    The quality of the students at Qing University was still very high. Although they were very excited by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival, they only took photos from afar.

    When she arrived at the principal¡¯s office, the two deans were also inside.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, you¡¯re here. Go and get to know everyone with the two department directors. Your office has been arranged for you. The admission procedures have basically beenpleted. This time, you can officially enter Qing University.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Principal.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°Since you¡¯re already a school teacher, we¡¯ll arrange some sses for you ording to your time. Do you think there¡¯s a problem?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯lle to ss when I have time.¡±

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s affirmative answer, Principal Yang was relieved. He got Xia Wanyuan to follow the two directors to the office.

    On the way, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt a little troubled. It was her first time in the office, and she should have prepared some gifts for everyone, but she hade empty-handed today.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone vibrated. She picked it up and looked at it.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already sent your colleagues¡¯ gifts over. Work hard, Teacher Xia.¡± Jun Shiling even attached an emoticon that stroked the cat¡¯s head tofort it.

    Xia Wanyuan returned a coquettish cat emoticon, then switched off her phone and followed the two directors.

    She had actually worked online together with her colleagues for a while. Hence, although they had never met, everyone¡¯s attitude towards Xia Wanyuan was quite friendly.

    The crutch that they had preparedst time could not be given, as well as the wheelchair. Everyone went back and asked their juniors, specially choosing something that young girls liked as a gift for Xia Wanyuan.

    After greeting the teachers from the literature department, Xia Wanyuan walked towards the art building.

    Before Xia Wanyuan arrived, someone had specially delivered many boxes with the names of every teacher on them. When Xia Wanyuan was around, everyone was too embarrassed to open them.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, a teacher opened it. ¡°Oh my god!!¡±

    Everyone looked over and saw that the teacher, who studied the Song Dynasty lyrics and melody, was holding an ancient book of the Song Dynasty. This was something that was extinct on the market and was considered priceless.

    The teachers opened the gifts in their hands. They were all extremely rare and precious real books rted to their studies.

    ¡°This Teacher Xia is too generous!¡± A teacher sighed.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gift was not only thoughtful but also precious.

    The teachers had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan to begin with. Now that she had given such a precious greeting gift, everyone epted her more.

    The teachers from the art department had also received a greeting gift from Xia Wanyuan. Based on the characteristics of every teacher, she had given the most suitable things to everyone.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could leave the Qing University, she was flooded with thanks from the teachers in the group.

    She did not know what Jun Shiling had given them, but thinking about it, she knew that something that could make the teachers so grateful must be very precious.

    Xia Wanyuan had just stepped out of the door when she was stopped by a woman in ragged clothes.

    ¡°Miss, give us something to eat. We came to Beijing to look for our parents, but we got lost. Can you give us something to eat?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan was texting Jun Shiling and didn¡¯t notice the person. She nodded. ¡°There¡¯s a restaurant over there. Shall I bring you there?¡±

    ¡°The food in the restaurant is so expensive. Miss, you don¡¯t have to spend so much. Give me some money and I¡¯ll go and eat some noodles myself.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan ce her gaze on the woman in front of her. She nced at her tattered clothes, swept her gaze across her fair neck, and then changed direction. Ignoring the person, she walked forward.

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Miss, why are you so ruthless?¡± The woman hurriedly chased after her. ¡°So what if you give me a mouthful of food? You¡¯re wearing good clothes. Dozens of dors should be nothing to you, right?¡±

    She had been in Beijing for many years and knew who cared about face the most.

    Those who were dressed normally might be tight with their money. Even if they wanted to give it to her, they could not give her much.

    Like the beautiful youngdy in front of her, people who were good-looking and dressed well were the easiest to give big money. They were prideful and generous. When they were anxious to get rid of her, they gave especially much money.

    The woman was certain that Xia Wanyuan would definitely give it to her, so she followed and pestered her.

    The woman kept shouting, but she begged Xia Wanyuan with an extremely pitiful expression. People passing by turned to look at the two of them.

    Xia Wanyuan finally stopped and nced coldly at the woman. The woman felt her heart turn cold.

    ¡°If you continue to follow me, you will definitely be in prison tomorrow. Do you believe me?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice immediately stopped the woman. She stared nkly at the young woman who felt involuntarily afraid.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze. At that moment, the chauffeur arrived. Xia Wanyuan got into the car and left.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan leave, the oppressive aura around her disappeared. The woman came up and began to make a scene, sitting on the ground and crying.

    ¡°Why is my life so bitter?! My husband is dead, and my son is disabled. I came out to beg for food and was scolded. Oh my god!! Is there any fairness in this world?!!!!¡±

    The woman was crying extremely loudly. Some people who had just passed by looked at this person who seemed to be very sad and criticized the youngdy who had just left.

    ¡°Sigh, really.¡± Someone stepped forward and gave the woman a few dors. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Take the money and buy something to eat.¡±

    The woman¡¯s voice grew louder. ¡°I just came out to beg for a few mouthfuls of food!!! That person scolded me!! And said she wanted to send me to prison!! Oh my god!! Why is my life so bitter, God?¡±

    The people who cameter did not understand what was going on. They only knew that this person was crying pitifully.. They all tensed up with the woman and attacked the youngdy who had scolded the woman.

    The woman was crying pitifully. It was the peak hour after work. She blocked the road and attracted arge number of onlookers.

    Not long after, a silent child who was about 1.2 meters tall and dressed in even more tattered clothes arrived beside her.

    The child was extremely thin and weak. He lowered his head in silence, and the left sleeve of his shirt was empty.

    The scene of the orphan and widow attracted the sympathy of many people.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Auntie, don¡¯t cry. We¡¯ll donate some money to you. Bring the child to buy some food. See how hungry the child is.¡±

    ¡°Thank you!!¡± The woman kept kowtowing to the people around her. ¡°There are still kind people in the world. Thank you so much. Come, Gouwa, kowtow to them.¡±

    The woman pinched the child beside her. Although the little boy did not speak, there was obvious pain in his eyes. He obediently knelt down and kowtowed to the people around him.

    Everyone looked at the child¡¯s malnutrition and felt even more sympathetic. In just a while, the bowl in front of the woman had already piled up with more than a thousand dors.

    This matter was recorded by reporters who passed by, edited into news, and posted online.

    The scene of everyone helping the begging mother and son was reposted by extremely important news media and promoted as a ssic example of positive society.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Xia Wanyuan left Qing University, she prepared to return to the manor. The car was halfway there.

    ¡°Madam, is that someone you know?¡± the chauffeur suddenly asked.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled herself out of herplicated thoughts and looked out of the window. Beside the horse road, beside an abandoned car, sat a person. He had an extremely gentle side profile, and the sunlight cast a soft arc on him.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The chauffeur drove over.

    Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and looked at the ruined car. It was obvious that someone had knocked into it. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    ¡°I bumped into Wei Yu and the rest just now.¡± Wei Zimu heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice but did not look up. He seemed to be in very low spirits as he pursed his lips. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for the tow truck toe. It¡¯s okay, Sister Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Let me give you a ride.¡±

    ¡°Won¡¯t that be too troublesome for you?¡± Wei Zimu finally looked up. Unlike usual, Wei Zimu was wearing a pair of thick sses today. Under the dim light of the setting sun, his eyes behind the sses were blurred.

    A strange feeling shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart, but she did not show it on her face.

    Wei Zimu got into the car with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going on a business trip to Continent F? Why are you still in Beijing?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rolled down the car window. The evening breeze blew in from outside, carrying a faint fragrance from Xia Wanyuan.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes shed behind his sses, and his gentle voice sounded. ¡°Someone else was seng go Continent F. I don¡¯t have to go.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°I just realized that your calligraphy and paintings are especially outstanding, Sister Wanyuan. If there¡¯s a chance, can you let me admire them too?¡±

    ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll give you one for your birthday.¡± Xia Wanyuan replied Jun Shiling while talking to Wei Zimu.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s voice rose a little. ¡°You remember my birthday?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell mest time?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned her head and asked in confusion.

    ¡°No, Sister Wanyuan, you must have remembered wrongly. I didn¡¯t tell you my birthday. Didn¡¯t we talk about the olddy¡¯s birthdayst time?¡± Wei Zimu smiled gently and was extremely certain.

    ¡°Oh, then perhaps I remembered wrongly.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not argue further and naturally continued.

    However, she was a little suspicious. She kept feeling that something was wrong, but this person seemed to be really Wei Zimu. After all, no one was present when they were chatting.

    Soon, the car arrived at the Wei family¡¯s courtyard. Wei Zimu got out of the car and smiled gently at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Thank you, Sister Wanyuan. I¡¯ll bring you the peach blossom cake from Beijing next time. It¡¯s very delicious.¡±

    ¡°Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at him.

    ¡°Mm, bye.¡± Wei Zimu waved and walked into the Wei family.

    The Old Madam ate vegetarian and chanted Buddhism all year round and did not eat with the juniors. Hence, the juniors had always gathered in the Wei family¡¯s dining room.

    When Wei Zimu entered the dining room, everyone was almost done eating. There was only some leftovers.

    ¡°Hey, Young Master Wei is back. Butler, aren¡¯t you going to scoop rice for Young Master Wei?¡± Wei Yu looked at the dust on Wei Zimu¡¯s pants mockingly.

    <i>A dog picked up by the Wei family was actually going against us for Xia Wanyuan.</i>

    Wei Zimu sat at the table and leaned back in his chair.

    The servant scooped some leftover rice and brought it to him.

    ¡°Brother Wei, we left you food. You came backte yourself. Don¡¯t cry andin to the Old Madam.¡± Wei Yu¡¯s words made everyoneugh.

    Without the Old Madam around, everyone mocked this adopted son of the Wei family who would share their inheritance.

    Anyway, Wei Zimu had always been gentle. No matter what he did, he would notin to the Old Madam. Hence, everyone became even more impudent.

    ¡°Hurry up and eat. What are you waiting for? Old Madam will be waiting for our meetingter!¡± Wei Yu urged from the side. These dishes were ¡°meticulously¡± prepared for Wei Zimu.

    Wei Zimu looked at the pile of leftover bones on the table and the pile of gravy on it. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He raised his right hand and removed the heavy lens, revealing a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

    However, there was no warmth in his eyes.

    His clothes were tattered from the car ident, and he should have been in an extremely sorry state.

    However, the current Wei Zimu seemed to have changed into a different person. His tattered clothes could not hide his strong and noble aura. His entire person exuded coldness from the inside out. His originally extremely warm smile had lost its gentleness because of those cold eyes, making one unable to help but be shocked when they looked at him.

    Wei Yu¡¯s heart turned cold when she met that gaze. The others were also shocked by Wei Zimu¡¯s sudden aura.

    However, Wei Zimu did not say or do anything. He only smiled and looked at everyone present. Then, he put on the heavy sses again, stood up, and walked out the door, blending into the darkness.

    This time, no one stopped him.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was popr now, in terms of seniority in the entertainment industry, she was at most a B-list celebrity.

    Star Creation Entertainment considered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resources, so they wanted to line her up and see if they could get an international show. At the same time, they wanted to discuss if there were suitable endorsements.

    Taking advantage of the international scene, this could also help Xia Wanyuan gain some international fame.

    After telling Xia Wanyuan, he handed this matter to Tang Yin and Chen Yun.

    From the Wei family¡¯s courtyard to the manor, they passed through almost half of the Capital. By the time Xia Wanyuan arrived home, the moon was already high in the sky.

    Hearing the sound of a car outside, Xiao Bao put down the toy in his hand and hurriedly ran out. ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re finally back!! I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    Pinching Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby face, Xia Wanyuan held his hand. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you eat with your father first?¡±

    ¡°Daddy said he wants to wait for Mommy toe back before eating, and I want to wait for you too.¡± As Xiao Bao spoke, he took out a milk candy from his pocket. ¡°Mommy, look. The kindergarten teacher gave me a reward. I secretly hid it for you. Daddy doesn¡¯t have one. Don¡¯t tell him.¡±

    As Xiao Bao spoke, he suddenly felt a chill. He stopped smacking his lips and looked forward. Jun Shiling was looking at him coldly.

    ¡°Aiyah! Mommy, I¡¯ll go in and wash my hands first!!¡± Xiao Bao called out, then stuffed the milk candy into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. He pretended not to say anything and slipped past Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Have you waited long?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Not long. We can wait for a few more hours.¡± Jun Shiling stood at the door and did not move. He threw out a few words coldly. ¡°After all, it¡¯s been a long time since you met Brother Wei. You have to talk more.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she walked towards Jun Shiling and held his arm. ¡°I missed you.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted. ¡°It doesn¡¯t work anymore. You¡¯ve never sent me home or picked me up. You¡¯re so good to him.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll send you to work tomorrow?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. This person was simply jealous. She had clearly told Jun Shiling how she had met Wei Zimu and how she had sent him home, yet he was still so angry.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling still stood still.

    Xia Wanyuan tiptoed and kissed Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°What about now?¡±

    The cold expression that Jun Shiling tried his best to maintain was about to copse. The corners of his lips could not help but curve up. ¡°It¡¯s still a no. I¡¯m unhappy. My wife sent another man home.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, wanting to see what she was going to do next.

    ¡°Alright, then be unhappy. In order to prevent you from being even unhappier, sleep in the guest room tonight.¡± Xia Wanyuan let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and walked into the house, ignoring Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was stunned. ¡°Why?¡± He thought Xia Wanyuan would coax him.

    Jun Shiling was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would really be angered by him, so he hurriedly followed Xia Wanyuan. Hence, he did not notice the smile on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face when she turned around.

    After eating with the two of them, Jun Shiling only realized when he was about to sleep that Xia Wanyuan was serious about letting him sleep alone.

    ¡°No, baby, I was wrong, okay? I¡¯m not angry with you. I was just ying with you.¡± Jun Shiling stood outside the bedroom and wanted to open the door, but Xia Wanyuan locked it from the inside.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll annoy you. Sleep alone. Goodnight,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she lifted her sleeve to look at the red marks on her body.

    In fact, she was naturally not angry with Jun Shiling. She could also tell that Jun Shiling wanted her to coax him with Wei Zimu¡¯s matter.

    The main reason why she let Jun Shiling sleep in the guest room was still¡­

    This person was really too unrestrained.

    It was fine when the two of them had just confirmed their rtionship, as Jun Shiling was not like how he was now.

    Recently, Jun Shiling had been craving for more and had good stamina. It was really unbearable.

    ¡°I was really wrong. I couldn¡¯t sleep without you. Let me in.¡± Jun Shiling stood outside the bedroom in his slippers, looking helpless.

    Uncle Wang secretly looked around from afar.?<i>This, this, this? Why was it that the tricks yed by young people were getting more and more iprehensible??</i>

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not reply in the bedroom, Jun Shiling really believed her.

    He had been chased out of the bedroom.

    ¡°Uncle Wang.¡± Jun Shiling looked in Uncle Wang¡¯s direction. ¡°Get someone to clean the guest room next door.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay.¡± Uncle Wang hurriedly walked out and got someone to clean up the guest room.

    When hey on the bed in the guest room, his arms were empty. Without that faint fragrance, Jun Shiling could not sleep at all.

    He suddenly recalled that a few months ago, Xia Wanyuan had slept in the master bedroom for the first time after she sprained her ankle. At that time, he had slept in the guest room with Xiao Bao.

    <i>What did I say about Xia Wanyuan??</i>

    <i>She was pushing her luck.</i>

    ncing at the decorations in the guest room, Jun Shiling sighed silently in his heart. Now, not only could he not sleep in the master bedroom, but he could not share the other bedroom either. He had actually fallen to sleeping in the guest room.

    Without Jun Shiling by her side warmly, Xia Wanyuan was actually not used to it. She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time but could not fall asleep.

    An hour passed, but Xia Wanyuan still sat up on the bed and pulled open the bedroom door. Seeing that the door to the guest room was still open, she walked in.

    Jun Shiling was naturally not asleep yet. He was leaning on the bed and looking at a piece of paper in his hand.

    Hearing the door open, Jun Shiling looked up, and his eyes immediately lit up. He threw away the things in his hand, got out of bed, and pulled Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You can¡¯t sleep either?¡±

    ¡°What are you reading?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked curiously at the paper on the bed.

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Jun Shiling wanted to put away the paper, but Xia Wanyuan reached over and opened it. Then, she was stunned.

    There were only three words written on the paper.

    ¡°Jun¡±

    ¡°Shi¡±

    ¡°Ling¡±

    This was written in the courtyard when she apanied Xiao Bao back to Old Master Jun¡¯s house for the first time.

    Xia Wanyuan shifted her gaze to the bedside table. There was an exquisite wooden box on it. She took out the things inside and took a look.

    A ¡°Map of Central Pine Fisheries¡± was her first famous work as Yuan Wanxia.

    There was a crumpledntern paper with a little rabbit drawn on it. It was a painting she had casually drawn on the production team.

    ¡°Why are these with you?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.

    As Xia Wanyuan had seen what he had hidden, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°I got someone to buy it. I wanted to keep it for myself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the box. There were many small things inside that she had forgotten.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her eyes and did not speak.

    ¡°Do you me me for secretly hiding these?¡± Jun Shiling carefully nced at Xia Wanyuan. He had only taken these out to take a look because he could not sleep just now.

    ¡°Hug.¡± Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan, who had her head lowered, suddenly looked up and opened her hand to him.

    Her eyes burned.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly caught Xia Wanyuan, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her hair.

    ¡°Can I apply to sleep in the master bedroom? I can¡¯t sleep without you.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

    The joy in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes instantly rose. He picked Xia Wanyuan up by the waist. ¡°Let¡¯s go to sleep.¡±

    Finally, he sessfully returned to the master bedroom. Jun Shiling ced her on the bed andy down himself. Feeling the warmth in his arms, Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan in satisfaction. ¡°Madam, can you not chase me out next time?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and leaned on his chest. She finally felt sleepy. ¡°The next time you torture me every day, go and sleep in the guest room.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on Xia Wanyuan tightened. ¡°Then one less time every day in the future?¡±

    Someone pinched his waist, and the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Sleep. I¡¯ll try to control myself in the future.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted in his arms and didn¡¯t speak further.

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan fell asleep peacefully under the cold pine fragrance.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan sent Jun Shiling to work as promised.

    ¡°What are you doing today?¡± When they arrived at thepany¡¯s entrance, Jun Shiling was about to get out of the car.

    ¡°Recording the third episode of Singer.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, and Jun Shiling got out of the car.

    At the recording studio of Singer, there were only four participants for this episode.

    Thest time Lin Xuan had Bo Yi¡¯s help, although her final results did not surpass Xia Wanyuan, she had obtained second ce.

    Bai Lian had long been eliminated, but in the past fewpetitions, the two of them had gotten along very well. This time, at the recording studio, Bai Lian also came to support Lin Xuan.

    ¡°Sister Xuan, let me tell you secretly. The theme this time might be very beneficial to you. You have to work hard. You can¡¯t let that Xia Wanyuan steal the limelight.¡±

    ¡°Of course I know.¡± Lin Xuan had her own sources. She had long heard about the contents of thepetition, so she had made preparations early.

    As the two of them were talking, there was a suddenmotion at the door. Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan curiously.

    News spread quickly in the industry. Everyone now knew that Xia Wanyuan was Yuan Wanxia and that she was a professor at Qing University.

    These people who were not in the arts did not have much feelings towards Yuan Wanxia¡¯s identity. They only knew that her painting was decent, but everyone was very interested in her identity as a professor.

    ¡°Professor Xia,¡± Lin Xuan spoke first and greeted Xia Wanyuan.

    However, the tone of this sentence felt a little strange.

    As if she had not heard Lin Xuan¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan walked straight to her seat and sat. Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan, who hadpletely ignored her, and her heart was filled with hatred.

    The recording studio outside was already prepared with stage lights and the host was already in position.

    There were only four contestants in this episode, so other than the segment where the contestants performed, there were also rounds of PK matches.

    The theme of ¡°Singer¡± this time was foreign.

    On the stage, the tall red-top church asionally shed past, the white marble pirs shed past from time to time, and the sand was endless. The gods hidden in the cave whispered silently.

    Xia Wanyuan had drawn a foreign song, and it was a French song that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even know how to write.

    In the waiting room, Xia Wanyuan was asking Tang Yin which country ths song was from and how to read these words.

    At the side, Lin Xuan scoffed. ¡°No way? Professor Xia doesn¡¯t even know French? Is this the standard of a professor?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 510: Voice Control</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to argue with Lin Xuan¡¯s ridicule. Seeing that Lin Xuan was about to say something, Xia Wanyuan turned her head. ¡°You¡¯re really noisy.¡±

    ¡°Pfft, Xia Wanyuan, who do you think you¡¯re acting for? You don¡¯t even know French. I wonder how you got into Qing University. Did you rely on your face?¡± Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wless face with jealousy in her eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to argue with her anymore. She turned around and ignored her.

    Tang Yin had dropped out of high school back then and came to Beijing to work. She knew that this was a very ssic French song, but she did not know how to read these words.

    Xia Wanyuan took a photo of the name of the song and sent it to Jun Shiling.

    Soon, a few long voice messages were sent.

    The song that Xia Wanyuan had chosen was titled ¡°The Girl by the Lake¡±.

    This was a lyrical song that described the young girl by theke in his memory. The singer strolled along theke, looked at the surrounding scenery, and thought of his dream lover. He whispered the solo.

    Jun Shiling had sent Xia Wanyuan French lyrics for ¡°Girl by the Lake¡±.

    When one read French, there was already a lingering and romantic feeling. Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely low and carried a lingering passion.

    In order to help Xia Wanyuan understand better, Jun Shiling recited a corresponding Chinese trantion after reciting a paragraph of French. It was as if he had recited an entire love poem.

    Xia Wanyuan listened to it with her headphones on. Silently, her face flushed red.

    ¡°Contestants, get ready. We¡¯ll begin soon.¡± The producer had already informed the first contestant to go on stage.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly restrained her thoughts and listened to the lyrics seriously twice. Then, she listened to the melody a few times ording to the original song.

    When Xia Wanyuan appeared, the lights in the broadcast room dimmed. Arge and quietke was gradually printed on the stage. Mist lingered by theke, and a few wild birds pped their wings and flew across the sky.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a dark blue dress thatplemented the dark blueke water like a fairy that had risen from theke.

    After the distant prelude, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice sounded. The soft murmur of French instantly made the audience tremble.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s learning ability was extremely fast. Her pronunciation was no different from Jun Shiling¡¯s.

    The audience present had been brought to theke with the chirping of insects and birds. They saw the girl strolling by the side. Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing, everyone seemed to have experienced theplicated feelings for his dream lover.

    After the song ended, the apuse in the recording studio could not wait to overturn the entire roof.

    Bai Lian watched from below. She really could not believe that this dazzling woman was actually that brainless fool who had been fooled by her.

    <i>Could it be that I caused her family to go bankrupt and this person was agitated?</i>

    In the following PK segment, the teams were divided by lot.

    Lin Xuan and Xia Wanyuan were in the same group.

    Lin Xuan was also very shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Girl by the Lake¡±.?<i>She clearly did not even know how to read the lyrics just now. How could she not only speak fluently but also have such strong feelings when she performed??</i>

    The audience actually liked to see Lin Xuan and Xia Wanyuan fight the most. After all, the battles between female celebrities had always been filled with gunpowder.

    The recording of the program ended two hourster. The broadcast of ¡°Singer¡± had always been broadcasted on all the major tforms after the recording waspleted the week before.

    The audience walked out of the recording studio feeling unsatisfied.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. I feel that she always subverts her image in my heart.¡±

    ¡°Actually, Lin Xuan¡¯s ability is not bad. It¡¯s a pity that she encountered an opponent like Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s too pitiful.¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t had enough yet. When the program airs next week, I want to watch it again.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Quick, we won¡¯t be able to catch the buster.¡±

    .......

    Backstage, Xia Wanyuan, who had finished filming, was packing up. Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily.

    She had originally wanted to use the opportunity of ¡°Singer¡± to return to her position as an A-list female celebrity. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would definitely be first ce. However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance had really exceeded her expectations.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan pack her things and leave the room, a ruthless look shed across Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes.

    The champion of Singer was of utmost importance to her this time. She had to get first ce in the end.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After leaving the television station building, Xia Wanyuan sat in the car and listened to Jun Shiling¡¯s voice message again.

    In the past few days, whenever Xia Wanyuan had time, she would bring An Rao, the game¡¯s ck hole, to y the advancement round. She had learned a lot of new words from An Rao.

    She suddenly felt that her endless loop of Jun Shiling¡¯s voice messages was probably voice control.

    Coincidentally, not long after Xia Wanyuan clicked on Jun Shiling¡¯s voice message, Jun Shiling called.

    ¡°Has the filming ended?¡± The deep and maic voice was like an electric current that lingered in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears.

    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    ¡°Then are you going to the apartment? I¡¯ll look for you for dinner after the meeting, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    When she returned to the apartment, the food that Jun Shiling had gotten someone to prepare was already on the table.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa in boredom and clicked on the audio recording of Jun Shiling¡¯s recital.

    Hence, when Jun Shiling opened the door, he heard his voice in the living room.

    Hearing the door open, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly switched off her phone and sat up.

    Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up. ¡°Why do I hear my voice?¡±

    ¡°No, you heard wrong. I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was a little delicate. If Jun Shiling knew that she had actually listened to him recite words repeatedly, Xia Wanyuan would feel embarrassed.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s eat.¡± Jun Shiling carried her to the dining table and handed her a bowl and chopsticks. ¡°I¡¯ll get you a ss of water.¡±

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder was patted. Out of habit, Xia Wanyuan turned around and met her phone screen.

    Pa!

    Facial recognition was sessful.

    The moment she switched on her phone, it stopped on the voice message interface that Jun Shiling had sent.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to snatch it, but Jun Shiling held up her phone to stop her from touching it. He even clicked on one of the messages.

    A gentle and maic voice spilled out of the phone with a lingering charm.

    Looking at the color on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears, Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°So Madam, you like me to recite love poems to you? Can¡¯t you just tell me? You even listened to it secretly.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling!¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that she was being publicly executed. She could not help but call out to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Yes, Madam. What can I do for you?¡±

    ¡°Give me back my phone.¡±

    ¡°Here.¡± Jun Shiling handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan reached out to catch it, then switched off the voice chat.

    Jun Shiling walked over and hugged her on hisp. He picked up a spoon, scooped a mouthful of food, and fed it to Xia Wanyuan, who ate it out of habit.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan finished chewing, Jun Shiling suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered a sentence in French.

    ¡°Ahem.¡± If not for the fact that she had already swallowed the rice, Xia Wanyuan felt that she would have choked. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Nothing,¡± Jun Shiling replied seriously, but his eyebrows twitched.

    Jun Shiling was amused when he saw the redness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    It turned out that Xia Wanyuan liked to hear him speak like this.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes and went to Qing University.

    She cleared out a part of her schedule and the other party arranged some sses for her ording to her free time.

    That afternoon was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first official literary appreciation ss at Qing University.

    Considering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appeal, the school had specially arranged thergest lecture theater. However, they had still underestimated the students¡¯ interest in Xia Wanyuan.

    The hall that could amodate a thousand people was full. Many students were watching outside.

    ¡°She¡¯sing, she¡¯sing.¡± The students standing outside were in amotion. Everyone looked out of the window. Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing light makeup and a light blue dress, slowly walked towards the education block from the garden like a fairy in the garden.

    ¡°Wow.¡± The ssroom was filled with exmations.

    Finally, Xia Wanyuan appeared at the ssroom door.

    She had already attended a ss thest time. This time, it was a walk in the park. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mentality was already very calm.

    The students this time were all masters of the liberal arts academy, and a small number of them had PhDs.

    In terms of age,

    In fact, Xia Wanyuan was even younger than 90% of the people present. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan herself looked very lively, and she looked even smaller.

    The students in the ssroom looked at the professor who was younger than them quietly with mixed emotions.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan. Next, let¡¯s begin today¡¯s lesson.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she began to introduce today¡¯s sses.

    People who studied liberal arts had always had some arrogance in their bones, especially the proud children of the top universities in China like the Qing University. They were even more arrogant.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was actually teaching them at such a young age, some students actually had doubts.

    ¡°Teacher, I want to ask a question!¡±

 Chapter 512 - Chapter 512

    In the middle of the ssroom, a boy with sses raised his hand.

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the question?¡± Xia Wanyuan was not flustered at all.

    ¡°I heard that Professor Xia¡¯s famous work is a¡± Map of Central Pine Fisheries ¡°.¡±

    As the student spoke, Xia Wanyuan disyed her painting on therge screen on the podium.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s this painting. Literary art itself is not separated. Since Professor Xia is a teacher of our literary profession, I want to ask, when you drew this painting, did you give this painting any literary deeper meaning? Or is this just a casual painting by you?¡±

    This question was too big in space and was actually very difficult to answer. Everyone looked at the boy who asked the question. It was Shu Jin, a schr from the literature faculty who was well-read in poetry.

    If Xia Wanyuan casually found a literary story to support her painting intent, she probably could not brush him off.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Shu Jin. In fact, if one had to talk about it seriously, she had never thought so much. She had just casually drawn it.

    However, Shu Jin did not ask this question for this answer.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the documents that she had prepared and closed theputer.

    ¡°Sit down first. Are the other students interested in my painting too?¡± Xia Wanyuan stood on the stage with her usualposure.

    Hearing everyone¡¯s affirmative answer, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s not attend the lesson content I nned for today. Let¡¯s use this painting of mine as a guide to talk about the literary meaning hidden in the Chinesendscape painting.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was excited. She pointed at the fishing boat on the painting. ¡°The fishing boat has always carried the emotions of countless schrs in China¡¯s ancient works.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a piece of chalk and switched off the projector, revealing the ckboard.

    ¡°For example, Jiang Feng sleeps in sorrow while fishing.¡± As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her hand quickly drew a painting on the ckboard of a moon night where a fishing boat was parked alone on the shore. Her lonely and cold emotions were disyed in front of the students.

    A lonely boat with a bamboo hat, a lonely boat with a river, painting a boat while listening to the rain¡­¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan read a few of them, she briefly exined some of the elegance hidden behind these poems.

    Everyone listened with great interest. No one noticed that there were already seven or eight paintings on the ckboard.

    ¡°Let¡¯s start with these eight ancient poems. Let¡¯s talk about the method to enter paintings in literature and vice versa.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanbinedmon knowledge with profound theories. The five thousand years of literature theory came and went in simple terms.

    Xia Wanyuan had a strong aura to begin with. She exined step by step, and her cadence was distinct. The entire ssroom was immersed in her exnation.

    Even the people standing outside the window were deeply attracted to her. The corridor was silent.

    ¡°That¡¯s it. If you have to ask about the meaning of literature, then there¡¯s many in this painting. I can dig up countless stories behind every detail. However, I have to be honest. When I was painting, I didn¡¯t think so much.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down her chalk. The bell rang at that moment, and the ssroom erupted with apuse.

    Xia Wanyuan put away herputer and walked out of the ssroom, leaving behind a discussion.

    ¡°Oh my god, Shu Jin, you must be convinced by someone in the literature department this time. This Professor Xia is too amazing.¡±

    ¡°Indeed.¡± Shu Jin nodded.

    Even the schr Shu Jin, who was said to be the most difficult to deal with in the literary department, was impressed by Xia Wanyuan, let alone others.

    After ss, the debate about whether Xia Wanyuan was the ¡°Goddess Teacher of the Literature Academy¡± or ¡°Goddess Teacher of the Arts Academy¡± exploded on the school forum.

    Xia Wanyuan held theputer and walked through the small garden on campus, slowly walking towards the office.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around with a stack of books. When she met those lively eyes, the corners of Wei Zimu¡¯s lips curled up slightly.

    Seeing Wei Zimu behind her, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously wanted to frown.

    He was not wearing sses today. Even though his smile was still warm, the temperature around him had been lowered by that pair of cold eyes.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan had a guess and didn¡¯t have much patience for this person in front of her.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just think that you taught very well and drew well,¡± Wei Zimu replied gently.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± After Xia Wanyuan thanked him, she turned around and walked to where many students were.

    The person in the courtyard watched Xia Wanyuan walk into the office before lowering his gaze. Then, he made a call.

    ¡°Hello, Brother, I came to listen to your Sister Wanyuan¡¯s lecture today.¡±

    As expected, a question came from the other end of the line.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything to her for the time being. As long as youplete Continent F properly, I promise to let youe back smoothly.¡±

    After a while, the call was hung up.

    The person in the garden gradually left, leaving behind a few messy flowers.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan returned to her office, prepared her documents, and left Qing University.

    Just as she walked out of the Qing door, she heard a loud cry. ¡°Oh my god! Why is my life so bitter?!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and raised an eyebrow. It was actually a familiar face.

    The olddy who had stopped her back then was originally frightened by Xia Wanyuan and was about to change ces. Who would have thought that the next day, there would suddenly be many reporters running to look for her?

    These reporters recorded all sorts of things about her and her child begging and took countless photos, attracting the attention of many people.

    There was money from the reporters and arge number of onlookers.

    In this ce, she received almost two thousand dors every day.

    Now, she was unwilling to leave. She stayed by the Qing University every day and cried to passers-by about her sufferings. Although everyone had been annoyed these few days and the money they gave was not as much as before, it was still quite considerable.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, the woman felt that her second opportunity to make money had arrived.

    She hurriedly stood up and ran towards Xia Wanyuan. At that moment, the chauffeur drove the car over. Seeing this, he immediately ran out of the car and stopped in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What do you want, old woman?!¡±

    ¡°Girl, you can scold me however you want. You can even hit me. I beg you to give me some money. My son is sick and I have no money to treat him. Please!¡±

    The woman kowtowed as she spoke, and her forehead was bleeding.

    Xia Wanyuan stood with the old woman in bright clothes, making her look even more pitiful.

    ¡°Aiya,dy, just give her some money. Look at how pitiful she is.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. So what if you give me some? Look at how well you¡¯re dressed. You don¡¯t have any kindness at all. Are young people like this nowadays?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too cruel. The person who scolded this olddy thest time was you, right? Why is your heart so hard at such a young age?¡±

    The surrounding people saw that the old woman was kowtowing pitifully, while Xia Wanyuan stood straight and did not look moved at all. They began to use Xia Wanyuan of not having any sympathy..

    Seeing that everyone around her had begun to help her, the old woman became bolder. Her turbid eyes nced at the rich jewelry on Xia Wanyuan.

    Although the woman looked a little fat, her hands and feet were very nimble.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to leave, she swayed and walked past the chauffeur to catch her.

    Xia Wanyuan was already prepared. She took a step to the side, and the woman turned to reach out to grab Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. Xia Wanyuan raised her hand to dodge, and the woman cleverly used a blind spot. When Xia Wanyuan raised her hand, she fell straight back.

    She was not thin and fell to the ground with a loud thud, attracting the attention of the people around her.

    ¡°Aiyo, my leg!!¡± The woman hugged her leg and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s broken, it¡¯s broken.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and finally turned to look at the woman hugging her leg.

    ¡°You guys, be reasonable!! What did I do wrong?! My husband died when I was eighteen, and I worked so hard to raise my disabled son. Now, someone broke my leg. What do you want my son to do in the future?¡±

    The woman cried loudly. Not far away, a boy with a broken arm ran towards the woman and squatted beside her. He was silent.

    Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to call 120.

    Then, she slowly walked to the woman. ¡°Is your leg broken?¡±

    ¡°Of course!!!¡± The woman hugged her legs. ¡°All of you watch and testify for me. Don¡¯t let this little girl escape!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not a doctor. How did you know that your leg was broken?¡± Xia Wanyuan stared at the woman with cold eyes. Her heart trembled, but thinking that she could extort arge sum of medical fees, she still mustered her courage.

    ¡°Don¡¯t I know my leg? It¡¯s broken!! Let me tell you, you have to, ah!!¡± Before the woman could finish speaking, a heart-wrenching pain in her leg made her speechless.

    Xia Wanyuan stepped on her ankle with one foot, her eyes cold.

    She tried to move around and felt that her feet and legs had lost connection.

    This time, she really knew what it felt like to have a broken leg.

    ¡°Oh my god!¡± The woman¡¯s cries were very real now. Her tears and mucus blurred her face as she groaned on the ground in pain.

    ¡°This time, your foot is broken.¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped on her high heels and crushed the ce where her bones had broken a few times, causing the woman to cry out even more miserably.

    ¡°Thisdy, why are you so vicious?!¡±

    ¡°Quick, call the police. Rich people are really amazing. How can they bully people like this?¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to give money, then don¡¯t. Why did you hit her?¡±

    Everyone surrounded them.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her foot. She could not be bothered to talk to this group of blindly righteous people.

    The ambnce arrived quickly and the woman was carried into the car. Xia Wanyuan turned to the chauffeur. ¡°Go to the hospital and look after this person. Call the district police station and get them to investigate this person.¡±

    ¡°Okay, how are you going back?¡±

    ¡°I can drive myself back.¡± After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s order, the chauffeur followed the ambnce.

    In the chaos, the woman¡¯s son stood silently behind the angry passers-by. He was so calm that he did not look like he was at his age.

    Xia Wanyuan walked forward. Some passers-by were afraid that she would hurt the child, so they stood in front of him.

    ¡°Do you want to go back with me?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at this silent child.

    ¡°What are you trying to do? This is Beijing. Don¡¯t mess around!¡± The passers-by blocked in front of her, not letting Xia Wanyuan get close.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Who would have thought that the disabled child behind him would actually say that he wanted to leave with the person who had just hurt his mother?

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around. The child behind her nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, then walked around the passers-by who were protecting him and followed Xia Wanyuan to the car.

    It was as if this child had never seen a car before. He stood straight at the side.

    Xia Wanyuan had already sat in the front passenger seat, so she got out of the car and opened the door for the child, letting him in.

    ¡°There¡¯s food beside you. Eat some first.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the starving child in the rearview mirror.

    The child had never sat in a car before, so he was very reserved. Even if Xia Wanyuan told him to eat, he didn¡¯t dare to get it.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan brought the child back to the manor.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, take him to wash up and get him something to eat. Then arrange a ce for him to stay.¡±

    Uncle Wang watched in confusion as Xia Wanyuan brought back an unfamiliar boy.

    When he saw the child¡¯s frail appearance, sympathy surged into Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Hey, okay. I¡¯ll get someone to do it immediately.¡±

    After standing outside for so long, Xia Wanyuan was drenched in sweat. She went straight into the main building and took a shower before feeling better.

    When Jun Shiling returned to the manor, he saw Uncle Wang leading the little boy, who had just taken a shower and changed his clothes, into the designated guest building in the manor.

    Seeing Jun Shiling return, Uncle Wang weed him. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Who is this?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was too strong, and the child trembled in fear.

    ¡°Madam just brought him back. I¡¯ll bring him to the guest building at the back and arrange a room.¡± Uncle Wang knew that Jun Shiling hated living with others so he did not n to arrange for the child to stay in the guest room in the main building.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and entered the main building.

    Xia Wanyuan had just finished showering and went downstairs. Her hair was still half wet. Seeing Jun Shiling return, she naturally reached out to him. ¡°You¡¯re back. Help me blow dry my hair.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling carried her, then loosened his tie and sat down on the sofa with Xia Wanyuan. He took the hairdryer by the side and slowly blew her hair.

    ¡°I brought back a child today,¡± Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to tell Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I saw him.¡±

    ¡°I guess he was abducted. I sent his mother to the hospital. I brought him back to stay for two days. I¡¯ll send him away when things are clear.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you wherever I live. Aren¡¯t you the one who calls the shots in this manor?¡± Jun Shiling recalled that he had been chased out of the master bedroom and his tone was a little bitter.

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to stay back again? It¡¯s all because you tortured me too much.¡±

    Hearing theint in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone, Jun Shiling smiled and raised his tone. ¡°You didn¡¯t sound like this when I tortured you. Have you forgotten what you said to me the night before?¡±

    Jun Shiling had always liked to coax her on the bed and say things that she would never say normally. Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red.

    She felt that she could not win against Jun Shiling anyway, so she decided to stop talking. Jun Shiling knew that she was shy, and she would definitely be anxious if he continued teasing her, so he stopped talking.

    After drying her hair, Jun Shiling threw away the hairdryer and hugged her. ¡°I can let that child live here, but you have to promise me that you won¡¯t meet him alone again.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you thinking? That¡¯s just a child!¡± Xia Wanyuanughed angrily.

    ¡°Not even a child. Not even a man.¡± Jun Shiling adhered to his principles very much. A young boy with an immature mind like this could not be allowed to stay with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I know, I know. Are you a jealous spirit? You¡¯re even jealous of a child.¡± Xia Wanyuan had only saved him in passing and agreed to Jun Shiling¡¯s request readily.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling sniffed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragrance. ¡°Who asked you to be so likable?¡±

    Even though Xia Wanyuan always heard praises from others, every time she heard the praise from Jun Shiling, her heart would still feel sweet.

    ¡°How can you be so likable? CEO Jun is the ideal type for millions of women. He¡¯s someone¡¯s childhood sweetheart and is admired by many.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan start to mention that unrted woman again, helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He gently pinched her waist.

    Jun Shiling knew that this was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sensitive point.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan felt especially itchy after being gently pinched. She could not help but smile and twist her body. Her eyes were somewhat sparkling.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I like? Why are you mentioning those messy people?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan steadily, his eyes burning.

    Xia Wanyuan paused for a moment, then smiled until her eyes curved. ¡°I know. You like me the most.¡±

    The way Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart melt. Jun Shiling smiled dotingly at Xia Wanyuan and stroked her smooth hair.

    ¡°Then why did you mention those messy people? Are you looking for trouble on purpose?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I did it on purpose.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was very righteous.

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°Why are you so mischievous now? Do you want to fight with me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, causing the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips to curve even higher.

    The more yful Xia Wanyuan was, the more natural she appeared in front of him. She was bing more dependent and trusting of him.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly lowered his head and whispered in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Hm?¡± In her two lifetimes, only Jun Shiling called her baby. Furthermore, when this person lowered his tone and called her, it was lingering and gentle, making one¡¯s heart tingle.

    ¡°I love you.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan looked up. Her eyes were bright like diamonds sprinkled in the starry sky. Jun Shiling smiled and lowered his head.

    ¡°I¡¯m back!!!¡± Before Xiao Bao entered the main building, his voice had already entered.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly pushed Jun Shiling away and looked towards the door. Jun Shiling clenched his fists and let go of Xia Wanyuan patiently.

    The little dumpling, who had red lips and white teeth, was dressed in a Pikachu suit. Like a magical treasure in a cartoon, he rushed to Xia Wanyuan with a whoosh.

    ¡°Mommy, what are you doing?¡± Xiao Bao grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg and looked up curiously.

    ¡°Nothing. We were waiting for you to eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed by Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent gaze.

    ¡°Okay, Mommy, we¡¯re going to have a parent-teacher meeting.¡± Xiao Bao took out a notice from his bag and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Let your father attend the parent-teacher meeting.¡± Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it before handing it to Jun Shiling. She could not appear as Xiao Bao¡¯s mother yet.

    ¡°Daddy, will you go?¡± Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling carefully.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling was still angry about the unfinished kiss.

    No one had ever attended Xiao Bao¡¯s parent-teacher meeting. Thinking that Jun Shiling might not attend it this time, tears began to well up in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes. He looked very pitiful and aggrieved.

    Seeing this, Xia Wanyuan immediately pulled Xiao Bao over and kicked Jun Shiling, her eyes warning him.

    She was clearly hinting to Jun Shiling that if he did not coax Xiao Bao, he would have to sleep in the guest room tonight.

    Jun Shiling nced at the mini version of himself and picked up the little dumpling. ¡°Why are you crying? When is it happening? I¡¯ll go.¡±

    Although there were still little golden beans by his eyes, Xiao Bao still smiled after hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s affirmative answer.

    Xiao Bao struggled for a while in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand but could not break free. He could only obediently maintain his posture of being lifted in the air and ce the notice in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re so fierce. Mommy, don¡¯t you think he¡¯s very fierce?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and nodded seriously. ¡°He¡¯s indeed quite fierce.¡±

    ¡°...¡­..¡±

    Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao to the table and sat him down. Xia Wanyuan walked over as well. While Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were chatting happily and harmoniously, Jun Shiling finished his meal with a dark expression.

    The next morning, when Xia Wanyuan went out after breakfast, she saw the child she had saved yesterday kneeling at the door.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 515: Extreme Evil</h4>

    The little boy looked up, the wariness in his eyes lessening. It was more like a plea.

    ¡°Please save my sister.¡± The little boy had not spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so yesterday? Get up first.¡± Xia Wanyuan gestured for the servant beside her to help the child up.

    The little boy mumbled. His voice was extremely low, but Xia Wanyuan still heard him. He said ¡°afraid¡±.

    He had once been ¡°saved¡± by others, but in the end, they were on the same side as that woman. They all wanted to kidnap him and sell him for a better price.

    When he had just returned with Xia Wanyuan, he had only wanted to leave that ce. Afterst night, Grandpa Wang had brought him to eat well and had even prepared such afortable room for him.

    Only then did he believe that he had really met a kind person.

    The little boy looked silent, but he was very smart and calm. He told Xia Wanyuan where he lived for the long term and where those people lived.

    Xia Wanyuan sent the location to the city police station, then drove a car and brought the little boy to the ce where his sister was locked up.

    The woman had been very popr on the Inte recently.

    As a ssic publicity stunt to show the gentle image of the people in Beijing, the photo of everyone reaching out to the woman was everywhere.

    A certain news media reported a piece of news this morning. Then, everyone was surprised to find someone they were familiar with inside.

    ¡°Yesterday at the entrance of Beijing, a scavenger olddy had a conflict with the popr celebrity, Xia Wanyuan. The olddy was then sent to the ambnce. The subsequent situation is for our reporter to investigate.¡±

    Theizens had just withdrawn from the video posted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s students from university when they were stunned by the news of Xia Wanyuan hitting an elderly.

    [¡­ My feelings are a littleplicated. Let me calm down. ]

    [ How can I ept this? She was clearly an elegant and knowledgeable professor a second ago, but in the next second, she beat up an olddy on the streets¡­ ]

    [ If you don¡¯t believe the rumors, don¡¯t spread them. The matter hasn¡¯t ended yet. There¡¯s no need tobel Xia Wanyuan so early, right? ]

    [ I think this matter is very strange. Xia Wanyuan is rich and famous, so why must she beat up an olddy on the streets and ruin her reputation? Perhaps there¡¯s something else going on? I¡¯m not in a hurry to criticize her. Let¡¯s talk about it when the truth is out. ]

    It had to be said that with her status as a professor, when everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan, they subconsciously gave her a filter with both virtue and talent.

    Even if the news media had filmed Xia Wanyuan as an arrogant person who bullied scavengers to attract attention, theizens had learned to be more rational. Most of them were waiting for the truth.

    In a big city like Beijing, there were both magnificent and luxurious ces, as well as dark corners where the sun could not shine.

    Following the little boy¡¯s guidance, Xia Wanyuan drove to the edge of a city vige. At that moment, the police station¡¯s car arrived.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you can wait here.¡± Among the policemen who came, there was a young intern police officer who had met Xia Wanyuan once. He knew that the environment in the city vige was not good, so he wanted to remind Xia Wanyuan not to go in.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the little boy beside her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Walking into the city vige where arge number of workers were gathered was different from the luxurious building that was separated by a wall.

    It was noisy here. Because the ground had been soaked in swill for a long time, the mold was ck, and the air was filled with a sour smell.

    The police were dressed in in clothes, but everyone who lived here was smart. One look at their temperament and they felt that something was wrong. A few people secretly sent messages.

    ¡°You only asked for this little money?¡± In a rental house, a burly man was rolling up his sleeves and holding a pole. He looked at the bowls in front of him unhappily.

    Standing in front of him were six children who were not more than ten years old. Hearing the man¡¯s raised voice, everyone trembled in fear.

    ¡°Red girl,e here. Why did you only get so little money?¡± The man¡¯s gaze was fierce. He used a steel pipe to pull the bowl in front of the child in red. It probably did not havemore than a hundred dors.

    ¡°My brother isn¡¯t around. I don¡¯t know how to beg,¡± the little girl said timidly, her tone trembling.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know how to beg? I¡¯ll make sure you can¡¯t beg.¡± The man suddenly attacked. A steel pipe as thick as a child¡¯s arm smashed into the little girl¡¯s right arm.

    The little girl felt a pain as if her right hand had been cut. She gritted her teeth tightly and tears streamed down her face. However, she did not dare to make a sound because she knew that resistance would attract an even greater beating.

    ¡°Useless thing, hurry up and ask for more. If you can¡¯t, watch how I deal with you.¡± The man got out of bed and took out the money from the six bowls.

    Seeing that the little girl was crying pitifully, there was already a hint of a beautiful color on her little face. A glint shed across the man¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Go to the bathroom and stay there.¡± The man pointed at the remaining five and everyone obediently entered the bathroom.

    ¡°Come here.¡± The man pointed at the girl in red, who was crying with a trembling arm.

    The girl subconsciously took two steps forward, but because her arm hurt, her actions were very slow.

    The man could not wait anymore and pulled her over.

    Hiss!

    The clothes that were already of poor quality were ripped clean..

    The little girl knew what the man was going to do to her.

    There was once a sister who treated her very well and even gave her candy. She was bullied by this man in front of them. That sister¡¯s cry made her tremble even when she thought of it.

    The man hurriedly removed his belt. The child, who was crying, bit his neck the moment the man pressed down.

    However, she was still too weak. The man reacted and pped the little girl away. He took the pole beside him. ¡°B * tch, I¡¯ll let you¡­¡±

    The door was suddenly broken open. The man looked towards the door and saw several people rushing in.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± The man was a little flustered, but the habit of being fierce for a long time still made his tone very domineering.

    ¡°Police! Put down the murder weapon!¡±

    When the man heard that it was the police, he almost could not hold the steel pipe in his hand anymore. However, he did not want to surrender and directly twisted the neck of the girl on the bed. ¡°Don¡¯te over!! If youe over again, I¡¯ll kill her.¡±

    The little boy beside the policeman was anxious to rush over. The policemen wanted to say something more.

    The young policeman felt something move at his waist. He looked down and saw that the gun at his waist was gone. He subconsciously looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t!!¡±

    However, it was toote. With two bangs, the man¡¯s left and right wrists had been pierced. He screamed and rolled off the bed. The policemen hurriedly stepped forward to restrain him.

    The young policeman looked at the precise bullet holes on the man¡¯s wrists with aplicated expression.

    This shooting uracy made him, a graduate of a professional police academy, feel ashamed.

    The little boy hurriedly ran over and covered the girl with the bedsheets.

    The ambnce and medical staff had also arrived. The doctors came in and carried the little girl out. The boy wanted to follow, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    The policemen handcuffed the man and were about to bring him out when Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°Give him to me for three minutes. I have something to ask him.¡±

    ¡°This¡­¡± The older captain hesitated for a moment. It was not allowed ording to the rules, but Xia Wanyuan was the person who provided the key clues and was someone the Bureau had specially instructed for them to take care of. ¡°Alright then, Miss Xia, be careful. We¡¯ll be outside. Call us if you need anything.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    After they left, Xia Wanyuan closed the door.

    Three minutester, Xia Wanyuan and the little boy came out. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll leave the matter to you. I you can investigate the matter as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry. This is what we should do.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and left.

    The others hurriedly opened the door and prepared to bring the man back to the police station.

    Then, they saw that the person was covered in blood. He looked like he had been run over by a truck and was lying on the ground. At first nce, he looked like he was dead.

    ¡°F*ck, let¡¯s see if he¡¯s okay.¡±

    Everyone hurriedly went forward to take a look and realized that this person¡¯s aura was not weak. It was just that his superficial wounds were especially serious. He must be in extreme pain, but his life was not in danger.

    ¡°She¡¯s a ruthless person¡­¡± Everyone recalled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful appearance as if she was an immortal daughter who was untainted by the world. They then looked at the man in front of them, who did not have a human form, and sighed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We¡¯re done.¡±

    No one pitied the person on the ground. Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions were wrong in thew, in terms of feelings,

    Everyone felt that what Xia Wanyuan had done was tooforting!!!

    Just from the scene that they had seen when they pushed open the door and entered, any man would want to kill this piece of trash. He simply humiliated men!

    The little boy was worried about his sister, so Xia Wanyuan got someone to send him to the hospital while she drove to the apartment.

    She was a little clean freak.

    After hitting that person just now, she felt that there was a disgusting aura surrounding her.

    It was not that Xia Wanyuan had never seen these things in her previous life. She had thought that modern society would at least develop a little more civilized than before. She did not expect it to be the same. Scums existed everywhere.

    There were more ces where the sunlight shone in modern society, but there were still many dark ces where the sunlight could not reach.

    Xia Wanyuan took a shower and asked about the little girl. Fortunately, they arrived in time. Although the man had taken off her clothes, he didn¡¯t cause much damage.

    However, the youngdy was indeed traumatized. Other than her brother, she would cry if anyone approached her.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little flustered.

    She was not a god and could not help everyone. She had saved this girl today because she was lucky. She knew that tens of thousands of people were worse than this girl, but they had no chances of being salvaged.

    In her previous life, when she was in charge of politics, she often had this feeling of powerlessness. It was the feeling of knowing that there was a lot of darkness in this world, but in the end, she could not take care of everything. She could only watch as countless people fell into the abyss.

    Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling. The phone rang once before being picked up.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby? I just finished my meeting. Are you hungry?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle voice came from the phone, making Xia Wanyuan¡¯s somewhat low mood better.

    ¡°I want to see you.¡± At times like this, Xia Wanyuan always especially wanted to see Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay, where are you? I¡¯ll look for you now.¡± Jun Shiling had always been sensitive to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s emotions. He could sense her low spirits.

    On the way to the apartment, Jun Shiling did not hang up the phone. Instead, he kept talking to Xia Wanyuan and did not ask her what was wrong.

    He only used his actions to tell her that no matter what happened, he was always by her side.

 Chapter 517 - Spring Festival Gala

    <h4>Chapter 517: Spring Festival G</h4>

    Not long after, Jun Shiling arrived at the apartment. Xia Wanyuany on the sofa like a kitten in the afternoon, exuding a tiredziness.

    Jun Shiling hugged her and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foreheadfortingly. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Surrounded by Jun Shiling¡¯s warmth, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood improved.

    In her previous life, she often fell into depression. However, as the pir of the Great Xia Dynasty, she usually stayed on the observatory for a period of time herself. When her emotions were dispatched, she would appear in front of everyone with the most perfect image.

    Rubbing in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan felt that although there was darkness in her previous life and this life, at least now, she had someone apanying her.

    On the way here, Jun Shiling had already gotten someone to investigate where Xia Wanyuan had gone in the morning. He naturally knew why Xia Wanyuan was in a bad mood.

    Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°You have me.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan repliedzily, nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling allowed her to continue depending on him. He called Lin Jing and declined his afternoon work.

    The police station acted quickly. When they received the news, they arrested Li Juan, who was in the hospital. They dug out an entire professional begging chain from her and the man in the rental house.

    Because the nature of the case was too bad and the case was too important, the higher-ups of the Public Security Bureau personally supervised it. Soon, arge group of people in Beijing were arrested.

    The people in Beijing had recently realized that there seemed to be fewer children begging around them. The people who often squatted beside the subway station had also disappeared.

    Just as they were wondering if the city¡¯s appearance checks in Beijing had started again,

    The national news channel suddenly carried out a special report.

    The report first threw out the photo of the beggar who had touched countless people and many stretched out their hands to help her, then it was filled with question marks.

    ¡°What¡¯s the story behind this photo that touched countless people?¡±

    As the host exined and the scenes changed,

    What appeared in the news was not the touching and harmonious scene that everyone had imagined.

    Instead, it was a very ufortable scene. In the dpidated bathroom of the rented house, a row of disabled children were squatting by the toilet in tattered clothes.

    They were too short and could not be recognized at all. Everyone had bright red bruises. Some of the children¡¯s wounds had not scabbed over, and the pus mixed with blood had stained their clothes.

    Just as everyone was wondering what the children had to do with the photo,

    The scene changed and the police began to introduce a major case that they had recently solved.

    In the past few years, they had often seen especially poor children begging on the streets of Beijing. When kind people saw their miserable looks, they would mostly give some money.

    However, the money that these children got did not actually turn into food. Instead, they handed it all to their masters.

    These so-called masters either stole or kidnapped other people¡¯s children to bring them to ces high up in the mountains and far away, then broke their limbs, making them look even more pitiful, and then let these children go on the streets to beg.

    The money that the beggar had taken was handed to the owner. If it did not reach the target amount, it would result in a beating.

    In any case, the more serious their injuries were, the more ignorant passers-by would pity them and give them more money. Over the years, countless children had died in Li Juan¡¯s hands.

    After the matter was exposed, it caused a hugemotion.

    Countless media cameras were directed at the filth that had been hidden under calmness for a long time. No one would have thought that the pitiful beggar they met on the way home from work every day actually had a group of murderous devils behind the scenes.

    Kidnapping children, beating them until they were disabled, and then letting them beg for money to eat, drink, and y with them. This kind of thing simply refreshed everyone¡¯s morals. Theizens were furious and began to report to the local public.

    The impact of the matter was too great and affected the entire country. The public security everywhere used this as a warning and checked the local begging crowd. Thereafter, they discovered many hidden sins.

    Countless people who had fallen into the abyss saw the sun again.

    The police also knew that thest time Li Juan and Xia Wanyuan had a conflict, they had been on the news. When they reported it, they specially mentioned the huge contribution Xia Wanyuan had made to the case.

    The rumors of Xia Wanyuan hitting the old woman broke on its own. Manyizens even said that Xia Wanyuan had hit her too lightly and it wouldn¡¯t be too much to kill that detestable old woman directly.

    Over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had been in a rtively low mood and did not have much activity for the time being. Hence, Jun Shiling stopped thepany matters for her and made her write and draw at home to kill time.

    That day, Jun Shiling got off work and brought a top-secret document back to the manor, cing it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at it and saw that it was the number of kidnapped children that had been cleared by the police. Compared tost month, the number of people rescued had increased by 300%.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the file and reached out to Jun Shiling, her eyes clearly begging for a hug.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart softened at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s adorable gaze. He smiled and picked her up horizontally. ¡°You¡¯re so clingy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not care what Jun Shiling said. She leanedzily and felt Jun Shiling¡¯s pine fragrance surrounding her. Her heart calmed down.

    She was not a person who would go down a dead end. Even though she would be a little down sometimes, she would adjust quickly, not to mention that Jun Shiling was apanying her.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said after a moment of silence.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling sat on the sofa with Xia Wanyuan in his arms. He peeled an orange and fed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head and avoided the orange.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t like it?¡± Jun Shiling was puzzled.?<i>Didn¡¯t you like it quite a lotst night?</i>

    Jun Shiling put down the orange and reached for the lychee on the table. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly turned warm.

    Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan smiling at him.

    ¡°Has the sun risen from the west today?¡±

    ¡°No, I just like you very much and want to kiss you.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes. The most ordinary words she said made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surge.

    Jun Shiling threw away the lychee and pulled Xia Wanyuan closer. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang.

    Xia Wanyuan had set different rings for different people. The ringtone that was ringing now was Tang Yin¡¯s.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling. ¡°I have work matters.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan listened to Tang Yin¡¯s words seriously, then hung up the phone and looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Tang Yin called and said that I received an invitation to the Spring Festival G..¡±

    The Spring Festival G had a unique meaning to the Chinese.

    Every year during the Spring Festival, more than a billion people would watch this program. Furthermore, the Spring Festival G was a heavyweight g event for national television stations. To be able to receive this invitation was what many celebrities in the entertainment industry dreamed of.

    ¡°Great.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and praised her.

    ¡°Will you be there when the timees?¡± To Xia Wanyuan, New Year¡¯s Eve was a day to reunite with her family.

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± Jun Shiling knocked her forehead. ¡°Since you¡¯re going, how can I not go? When the timees, I¡¯ll be a passionate audience below the stage and p for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Only then did Xia Wanyuan reply to Tang Yin and say that she epted it.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Why are you so clingy? You have to see if I¡¯m going to attend an event.¡±

    Although his words were filled with disdain, Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was filled with smugness.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was secretly happy, so she did not bicker with him.

    ¡°What day is it today?¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had been at home for the past few days, had forgotten the date.

    ¡°Friday. Why?¡±

    <i>Friday??</i>Xia Wanyuan thought for a while.?<i>¡°Singer¡± seemed to be broadcasting today.</i>?Xia Wanyuan wanted to switch on the television, but she suddenly thought of something and looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Haven¡¯t you been busy the past few days? Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡±

    Jun Shiling was indeed very busy. He was worried that Xia Wanyuan was in a bad mood and would take time toe back and eat with her every afternoon. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth.

    When things could not be settled, they could only wait for nighttime and he had to work overtime.

    Jun Shiling had indeed nned to work overtime in the study just now, but he saw that Xia Wanyuan was in such a hurry to let him go.

    ¡°Is there anything in your program that you don¡¯t want me to see?¡±

    ¡°No, go and finish up your things. I want to sleep early today. Come back early.¡± In the past, whenever Xia Wanyuan said this, Jun Shiling would go to the study to settle things quickly.

    However, it was useless today.

    Jun Shiling switched on the television directly, then sat on the sofa and hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°How can I not watch Madam¡¯s television program?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was silent. She thought to herself,<i>?¡®Watch if you want. In the end, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s sulking.¡¯?</i>

    [ It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here. It¡¯s finally here. ]

    [ Has it started? I¡¯m here for Yuan Yuan! ]

    [ Squeeze a little. What¡¯s the theme today? I¡¯m so looking forward to it. ]

    A familiar golden microphone appeared. After the host introduced a long list of sponsors, the program finally began.

    The theme this time was the foreign world. The television station¡¯s stage effects were very good. The foreign styles of the world seemed to have been moved onto the stage.

    The first was the individual segment. Lin Xuan was the first to appear. Her voice was hoarse and had the texture of red wine. And she was lucky to have drawn an english song that matched her personal style.

    Lin Xuan had fiery red lips and was wearing a pair of pants and suspenders that were filled with glitter. She sang and danced enthusiastically, stirring up the atmosphere of the entire venue.

    Lin Xuan¡¯s performance was quite good. The judges and teachers gave her a high score. The other two people¡¯s performance was also very amazing, but their scores were still lower than Lin Xuan¡¯s.

    Now, only Xia Wanyuan, who had not appeared, did not have a score.

    Lin Xuan was an experienced A-list celebrity. Although she was very strong, because she knew the topic in advance, Lin Xuan waspletely prepared. She had practiced that song countless times. It could be said that every note was exquisite.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scores in the past few episodes had also disyed her strength.

    Thements were already in chaos over who would win in the end.

    Just as thements were noisy, the third contestant left the stage. The lights on the stage slowly dimmed and gradually turned dark blue.

    The stage became argeke. In the distance, there were mountains and precipitous ridges. A faintyer of fog rose by theke.

    Wearing a blue dress, Xia Wanyuan, who was like a fairy that had risen from theke, gradually appeared on camera.

    The makeup that Mu Feng had put on Xia Wanyuan had a hint of seductiveness. As her eyes swirled, it made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    The moment the prelude sounded, thements became excited. This was a ssic old song that had been sung for half a century.

    Because it was a ssic, it was difficult to control and surpass.

    On the stage, a fish leaped out of the water and sshed. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s low hum gradually sounded.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s French pronunciation was extremely urate, and he had learned the French royal pronunciation. There was a hint of ssical in the lingering. Xia Wanyuan followed his tone and had the same rhythm.

    The entire tone of the original song had a hint of sadness. When Xia Wanyuan looked at the lyrics, she had some insight, so she changed the way she sang.

    The tone was still the same, but when Xia Wanyuan did it, there was a hint of joy in the sadness.

    Everyone followed Xia Wanyuan as they strolled by theke, recalling the lover of their dreams. Although they could not see each other now, thinking that their hearts were connected, joy naturally seeped out of sorrow.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was ethereal to begin with, and itpletely matched the aura of this song. Anyone who listened to this song felt that even if Xia Wanyuan could not surpass the original singer, she definitely sang with a different charm. Compared to the original song, she was not inferior at all.

    After the song, the entire audience erupted in apuse. Some of the audience were touched by the pure and hazy love in the song, and even had tears streaming down their faces.

    ¡°You sang very well.¡± Jun Shiling nodded at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You sang so well. What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about for me to see?¡±

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯re done watching. Go to work quickly. I want to sleep early today.¡± Xia Wanyuan nudged Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling stood up to leave.

    The host on the television began to announce the next segment. ¡°The next segment is the PK match between the contestants. The first group of PK members is Lin Xuan and Xia Wanyuan. Please be prepared.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing the obvious unnatural expression on her face, he snorted coldly in his heart.?<i>This person is definitely hiding something from me.</i>

    Hence, he sat back down.

    In general PKpetitions, the production team would prepare topics for the two contestants.

    However, in order to increase the program¡¯s viewership ratings and increase the controversial topic, the program team directly handed the contents of the PK to the contestants to decide.

    Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan each coulde up with two themes.

    [ Amazing, is there a need for Lin Xuan topete? If Xia Wanyuan says¡¯ let¡¯spete in poetry ¡®, won¡¯t Lin Xuan be doomed? ]

    [ That¡¯s too unfair. This is a song program. If Xia Wanyuan wants to show her talent, she can go to the poetry meet next door. If she wants to find a sense of existence here, that¡¯s too much of a bully. ]

    On the program, Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan clearly did not realize what the production team was doing. When Lin Xuan heard the host recite the PK rules, she panicked. If Xia Wanyuan really wanted topete in poetry, how could she?

    Lin Xuan raised her hand.. ¡°I have a question.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 519: The Princess Won the PK Competition!!</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the problem?¡± The host was stunned for a moment before continuing.

    ¡°Our program is a singing and dancing program. If the PKpetition is set with questions of other categories, is that considered a vition?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s best to stick close to the theme of our program.¡± The production team did not have a clear rule, so the host could not say too much.

    Hearing the host¡¯s words, Lin Xuan frowned.

    She looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. ¡°I hope Professor Xia will show mercy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.<i>?¡®Professor Xia¡¯??</i>

    If she really used poetry and calligraphy to do the PK questionster, wouldn¡¯t others say that she, a professor in Qing University, waspeting in something that others were not good at?

    ¡°Of course,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied bluntly.

    The two of them were brought to the two ends of the stage and wrote down the themes for the PK on the paper.

    Not long after, the host showed their cardboard to the camera.

    Even though it was written with a ballpoint pen, the words appeared to have dragon tendons and phoenix bones. It was obvious that it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    ¡°Duet

    Composition ¡±

    On the other side, there were a few crooked words. Everyone carefully identified them before realizing that they were written.

    HOT Self-choreographed Dance Battle

    [¡­ Xia Wanyuan is really very gentle. She didn¡¯t use any of her trump cards at all. ]

    [ Lin Xuan is really shameless. First, she didn¡¯t let others choose what they were good at. Now, she¡¯s choosing what she¡¯s good at but others aren¡¯t. I¡¯m speechless. ]

    Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes shed with joy when she saw what Xia Wanyuan had written.

    Based on her understanding of Xia Wanyuan, other than that ancient zither, this person did not know any other instruments.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan had never danced much in public. Thest time she was with Fang Jin, there were not many dance scenes.

    Hence, Lin Xuan guessed that Xia Wanyuan was not very good at dancing.

    However, Lin Xuan was a professional dancer and had studied in Country Han for a few years. Dancing passionately was her specialty.

    Lin Xuan smiled smugly. She could not wait to see Xia Wanyuan standing on the stage helplessly, speechless.

    ¡°This is the first PK. Pleasee on stage and sing ¡®Flowing Water¡¯ together.¡±

    The audience actually did not understand why Xia Wanyuan had written a duet for the first segment. After all, the two of them werepetitors, so what was the need for a duet? )

    But soon, when the song sounded,

    Everyone knew why Xia Wanyuan had written down this request.

    In the past, when the two of them sang separately, no one could tell the difference.

    When the two of them sang the same song, everyone¡¯s feelings immediately changed.

    One was an impatient show-off, and the other was a peaceful and gentle infiltration.

    Lin Xuan seemed to be trying her best to suppress Xia Wanyuan. She even used too much strength.

    Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was forever calm and peaceful. Like flowing water, it quietly flowed in the hearts of the listeners.

    It was obvious who was good and who was bad.

    Towards the end of the song, even Lin Xuan herself realized that she was being suppressed by Xia Wanyuan. She even sang like she had nothing to lose.

    Needless to say, Xia Wanyuan¡¯sposing skills were something that everyone had seen a long time ago. Before Lin Xuan could think of a line, Xia Wanyuan had already finished writing a song.

    The production team carefully put away the lyrics written by Xia Wanyuan.<i>?What a joke. This was Yuan Wanxia¡¯s personal handwriting, the kind that was worth a few million dors. We had to keep it properly.</i>

    Hence,

    Lin Xuan suffered a crushing defeat from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s two themes.

    It was finally Lin Xuan¡¯s turn. Thinking of the two failures just now, Lin Xuan gritted her teeth and nced at Xia Wanyuan.?<i>Let¡¯s see what you can do this time.?</i>

    Lin Xuan¡¯s violin skills were not considered master level, but she was considered one of the best in the entertainment industry.

    She had been an art student since she was young and had practiced all kinds of dance and music. She had been recruited by the internationally famous violinist, Stie. Although her talent was average, she had some sess.

    The production team brought up the violin that they had prepared.

    ¡°Then Lin Xuan will start first?¡± The host came to ask for their opinions.

    ¡°No, we¡¯ll do it together.¡± Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan smugly.

    Lin Xuan felt that she had lost face when the two of them sang together just now. Now, she wanted the two of them to perform together and let everyone see how flustered Xia Wanyuan was.

    The host looked at Xia Wanyuan awkwardly.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Sure, but give me three minutes to prepare.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Xuan scoffed.?<i>She wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything even if she was given thirty days, let alone three minutes.?</i>

    Hence, the host brought Xia Wanyuan into the backstage, and the photographer turned the camera over.

    Everyone was curious about what Xia Wanyuan was preparing to do.?<i>Was she looking for external help? Or was she nervous because she was afraid??</i>

    While thements were making all sorts of guesses, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and clicked on her phone to search for the original melody of Lin Xuan¡¯s violin.

    While everyone was confused, Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes as if she had sunk into the world of headphones.

    [?? What do you mean? Don¡¯t tell me Xia Wanyuan hasn¡¯t heard this song before. ]

    [ I think that¡¯s possible. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve heard of Xia Wanyuan ying the violin. ]

    [¡­ So why did she fight for these three minutes? She can¡¯t expect to learn this song in these three minutes, right? ]

    Soon, it was time. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and the violin was done ying.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the front of the stage. Lin Xuan was already sitting in her seat, readying herself. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, she nced at her disdainfully.

    Disappointment shed across the eyes of the judges when they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand gesture.

    They had thought that Xia Wanyuan was hiding her strength, but it turned out that she was just bluffing.

    A deep voice sounded and Lin Xuan began to y.

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s posture when ying the violin was especially not up to standard, to everyone¡¯s surprise, her violin music was not chaotic. Instead, it was even more exquisite than Lin Xuan¡¯s.

    When Lin Xuan heard the sound of the zither from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, her heart trembled. She increased her speed. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s zither music did not fall at all, and she followed Lin Xuan closely.

    Soon, it was the climax of the entire song. It was a melody that showed how the rain fell. It had a high requirement for the skills and hand speed of the zither yer.

    Lin Xuan could only barely y it every time. Just as she was struggling to y this part, the violin that had followed her just now suddenly surpassed her. Furthermore, it sounded extremely smooth, as if there was no pause at all.

    Lin Xuan could not help but divert her attention. She nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was not far away. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calm expression, Lin Xuan¡¯s zither music suddenly became chaotic.

    In the end, she did not even know how to end this song hastily.

    The oue was obvious. Xia Wanyuan had won again.

    ¡°Not bad,¡± Jun Shiling praised.

    ¡°CEO Jun taught me well.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s violin skills were very good. Jun Shiling had taught Xia Wanyuan a few times.

    Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan was very talented, but he did not expect her to y this song so well after listening to it once.

    ¡°Thest theme. The HOT self-choreographed dance. Please listen to the music.¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, extremely rhythmic music sounded on the stage. It was very moving.

    Lin Xuan was already dancing gently with the music.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you danced to this song during thepetition with her.¡±

 Chapter 520 - Capability to Coax

    <h4>Chapter 520: Capability to Coax</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling, she tilted her head, and blinked.

    Jun Shiling reached out and covered her eyes. ¡°Cut it out.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long eyshes fluttered in Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. His heart was angry and soft.

    ]Jun Shiling had guessed correctly. In this PKpetition, Lin Xuan and Xia Wanyuanpeted in dancing.

    After listening to the music, Xia Wanyuan had alreadyposed a dance in her heart.

    It was different from what Lin Xuan had imagined. Xia Wanyuan was extremely good at dancing to begin with, and her foundation in ssical dance was very good. Back then, Xia Wanyuan had hired a dance teacher for the variety show ¡°I am a Superstar¡± and had learned it for a long time. She was also very familiar with the style of modern dance.

    After the two of them listened to the music, the host gave the two of them a minute to think, then let the two of them begin the performance.

    Lin Xuan was originally from a group of women who sang and danced beautifully. Her fiery red lips were very sexy and matched the theme of HOT.

    [ Lin Xuan¡¯s singing and dancing ability is indeed not bad. As expected, she came from a female team. Country Han¡¯s ability to nurture female celebrities is indeed not bad. ]

    [ I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen Xia Wanyuan dance before. I can¡¯t imagine what she looks like. ]

    [ It¡¯s fine. Anyway, she has won three rounds in front, even if she lost this one. It¡¯s fine if she loses.]

    None of thements, including Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, had any hope for her.

    After Lin Xuan¡¯s performance ended, Xia Wanyuan went on stage.

    Wearing a white T-shirt and ck pants, Xia Wanyuan was not as eye-catching as Lin Xuan¡¯s suspenders. However, the extreme simplicitybined with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes actually had an astonishing attractiveness.

    The music sounded and Xia Wanyuan began to move. From the first few moves, those who knew the industry understood that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dancing standards were not inferior.

    Although they were both female dancers, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions were clearly much more forceful than Lin Xuan¡¯s.

    Although it was a modern dance, everyone could feel the ssical beauty from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions.

    Though Xia Wanyuan did not design many marginalized actions like Lin Xuan, she really onlypleted the simple dance moves.

    However, the ink-ck-haired and red-lipped Xia Wanyuan had a different charm on the stage.

    In fact, to Jun Shiling, such a Xia Wanyuan exuded an endless sexiness.

    Hence, before he could finish watching the dance, Jun Shiling switched off the television and sat on the sofa sulking with a bad expression.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that this would be the final oue.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned over and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°I¡¯m sleepy. Let¡¯s go to bed, okay?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then can I let you bully me?¡±

    Jun Shiling was a little tempted, but he recalled how Xia Wanyuan had danced. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll sleep myself?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was helpless. ¡°Then what do you want?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and did not speak. Xia Wanyuan understood what he meant and sat on Jun Shiling¡¯sp. She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m so tired. I want to sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle voice made one¡¯s heart tingle. Jun Shiling picked her up and strode into the bedroom.

    Xia Wanyuan was ced on the bed and pulled the nket over her to sleep. Jun Shiling pressed her down.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t want it? You didn¡¯t keep your word.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I just don¡¯t keep my word.¡±

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s using voice gradually turned into a sobbing moan.

    Considering that Xia Wanyuan had to go to work, Jun Shiling let her go after two times. It was alreadyte at night when he washed her up.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, do you mind? I won¡¯t dance anymore, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Although she was already extremely sleepy, she still remembered Jun Shiling¡¯s anger.

    Seeing how obedient and cute Xia Wanyuan was in his arms, Jun Shiling¡¯s anger dissipated. ¡°If you consider my opinion, then I can¡¯t wait for you to stay at home every day and not go anywhere. So although I¡¯m angry, what you want to do is still ording to your thoughts.¡±

    Jun Shiling had always respected Xia Wanyuan very much and would always follow her opinions and not interfere in her matters.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want you to be unhappy.¡± A muffled voice came from his arms.

    ¡°If I¡¯m unhappy, will you quit the entertainment industry for me?¡± Jun Shiling suddenly asked.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. After leaving the entertainment industry, shhe could attend sses, write and paint every day.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand instantly tightened. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. He did not know how many times he had been d that he was the person who Xia Wanyuan favored.

    ]¡±Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan gradually fell asleep in a daze.

    The wishful thinking of Singer hadpletely seeded. The viewership ratings soared.

    The most anticipated segment of the program was naturally the individual PK segment between Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan. The way the contestants came up with the themes surprised the audience. Lin Xuan and Xia Wanyuan stood together with a strong smell of gunpowder, which aroused everyone¡¯s desire to watch.

    That night, after the television program ended, the video of Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan became popr on all major tforms.

    [ Eh, Lin Xuan originally thought that she could suppress Xia Wanyuan with her strong suit, but she was crushed by her. How miserable. ]

    [ Actually, Xia Wanyuan really gave Lin Xuan face. She didn¡¯t even use her trump tzither. ]

    [ I just want to ask how Xia Wanyuan grew up eating and how she knows everything. In my heart, she¡¯s a ssic example of holistic development. ]

    The entertainment industry had always been open to capable celebrities. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was enough to make everyone treat her kindly.

    By the next day, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Young Girl by the Lake¡± had already rapidly soared to the top of QQ Music. The dance that she hadposed herself was also being imitated by users of various short video tforms..

    <h4>Chapter 521: Yu Qian</h4>

    Early in the morning, the teacher from the design department of Qing University walked into the ssroom with his book andputer as usual. Then, he realized that the ssroom was too quiet today.

    In the past, the ssroom was always noisy when he walked in. Today, everyone was sitting especially upright. The teacher was very relieved. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s start the ss.¡±

    The teacher opened his book and habitually nced at it. He saw a person who had been very popr in Qing University sitting in the first row of the ssroom. Her appearance was too eye-catching, making it difficult for others to not notice her.

    When his colleague came to tell him that Xia Wanyuan wanted toe and listen, he felt that his colleague might have said it casually. After all, Xia Wanyuan was a celebrity and a professor in the literature department. It had nothing to do with him.

    In the end, he actually saw Xia Wanyuan sitting below today. The teacher was a little surprised, but he was experienced in teaching. Soon, he put away his thoughts and entered teaching mode.

    Xia Wanyuan listened intently, asionally taking notes in her notebook.

    As the students in the ssroom listened to the teacher¡¯s lecture, they watched what Xia Wanyuan was doing. They could not help but be infected by Xia Wanyuan. She took her notes seriously, and the teacher was very relieved to see them.

    Initially, he was worried that Xia Wanyuan would cause amotion. Now, it seemed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival had improved the discipline of the ssroom.

    Soon, the bell rang. The teacher wiped the notes on the ckboard and left the ssroom.

    A youngdy sitting beside Xia Wanyuan had not finished copying. She asked the people around her, but no one could copy thest part.

    A beautiful book was suddenly handed to her. The little girl looked up and met a pair of watery eyes.

    ¡°After copying it, send it to the next ssroom.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan left the ssroom.

    Everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted and surrounded the first row to look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s notes.

    There was no need to say much about the beautiful words. The notes were rtively neat and logical. Even a casual sketch was exquisite, instantly causing everyone to exim.

    ¡°F*ck!! I suddenly feel that I¡¯m not fit to learn design. This casual painting is even more beautiful than my meticulous one.¡±

    ¡°I suddenly feel that she¡¯s so amazing. I kind of understand why people chase celebrities. I want to chase them too.¡±

    ¡°Come,e,e. I want to take a photo of it to motivate myself. The people who listen at the side are already so amazing, but I¡¯m still a salted fish.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan left the ssroom, she walked to the podium in the next ssroom and began her day as a professor.

    ¡°Professor Xia, long time no see!!¡±

    ¡°Professor Xia, you¡¯re so beautiful today!¡±

    ¡°Professor Xia, we missed you so much.¡±

    The previous ss had made everyone quite fond of Xia Wanyuan, this teacher. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan was young and looked much better and closer to them than those very old professors.

    This time, the students were clearly more active than the previous time. The moment Xia Wanyuan entered, she received a warm wee.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and ced the book on the podium. ¡°Good morning, everyone.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Professor Xia!¡± Everyone responded enthusiastically.

    Xia Wanyuan looked around and met a pair of gentle eyes at the back of the ssroom.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze did not pause at all. She picked up a piece of chalk and wrote down the contents of today¡¯s lesson on the ckboard.

    The lesson ended very quickly. The bell rang and warm apuse erupted in the ssroom. It was enough to show how much Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss was liked by the students.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, wait for me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan carried her book and walked to the office. A gentle voice came from behind her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Sister Wanyuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was cold.

    ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t I call you that in the past?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not Wei Zimu.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked coldly at the man who looked almost identical to Wei Zimu.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the man was not surprised. Instead, he elegantly removed his thick sses, revealing a pair of beautiful but emotionless eyes.

    ¡°Then, let¡¯s get to know each other. My name is Yu Qian.¡± The gentle-looking Yu Qian smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Hello, Sister Wanyuan..¡±

    At that moment, the two of them were standing at the turn of the wooden staircase. The ivy leaves outside the window were especially lush. They climbed through the window and guided the sunlight into the building.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. The sunlight shone on him diagonally. He clearly had the same face as Wei Zimu, but he did not have the warmth that Wei Zimu had.

    Even the sunlight shone on him with a hint of coldness.

    When she met that pair of eyes that were not smiling at all, an inexplicable chill arose in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    She rarely had such a feeling, but now, Yu Qian made her feel very dangerous.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but frown. ¡°I told you not to call me Sister Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Xia Wanyuan.¡± Yu Qian seemed to have a good temper. He smiled gently, as if he had thought of something interesting, and his face became lively. ¡°Wanyuan, round?bowl<sup>1</sup>. It¡¯s quite cute.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable resistance to Yu Qian. She didn¡¯t say anything more to him and went downstairs.

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes as he watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back view walk out of the cold building and into the bright greenery.

    Without any emotions, the gentleness and liveliness that he had deliberately made just now disappearedpletely, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

    After a long time, Yu Qian took out his sses and put them on. A young and energetic female student secretly sized him up. Yu Qian smiled gently and the young girl blushed shyly.

    Then, Yu Qian slowly walked out of Qing University and leisurely sized up the scenery that was filled with boundless vitality.

    The vigorous students, the fluttering butterflies, the heartyughter, and the distant sound of reading.

    Yu Qian wore a white shirt and sses. He looked schrly and passers-by could not help but guess which year this new senior was from.

    Yu Qian was leisurely walking when the phone rang.

    ¡°Hello.¡±

    At that moment, Yu Qian was walking to the door. Seeing that he was on the phone, the guard opened the door for him.

    Yu Qian nodded and replied politely, ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing.¡± The uncle grinned.?<i>¡®Qing University students are indeed of high quality. How well-mannered.¡¯</i>

    As Yu Qian walked out, he listened to the report on the phone.

    ¡°Explode it,¡± Yu Qian replied casually with a smile on his face.

    ¡°Boss, this explosion will definitely cause a counterattack from Tanz Country.¡± The person on the other end of the line was still a little hesitant as he confirmed again.

    ¡°Explode it.¡± Yu Qian threw down these two words and hung up the phone.

    On the other end of the line, Jayce looked at the distant city vige and gestured to his subordinates.

    The lives of 100,000 people were decided just like that.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she had probably offended the emperor today. She had just met a baffling and unfathomable Yu Qian, and she had yet to understand why Yu Qian had pretended to be Wei Zimu,

    When the car suddenly shook, and Xia Wanyuan subconsciously staggered forward.

    The car was kissed and it seemed like the collision was not light.

    Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and prepared to get another chauffeur to pick her up.

    ¡°Miss Xia!¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Xuan Sheng standing at the car door, waving at her.

    Xuan Sheng originally wanted to rush to the board of directors, but he did not expect the new chauffeur to be unfamiliar with the road conditions. He immediately hit the car in front.

    Xuan Sheng had a bad temper. Just as he was about to re up, he saw Xia Wanyuan walk out of the car.

    The chauffeur was still waiting for Xuan Sheng to reprimand him. After all, the ident seemed to be quite serious.

    Unexpectedly, he said, ¡°Not bad. Go back and receive your bonus.¡±

    The chauffeur:<i>??? Is CEO Xuan crazy??</i>

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded at Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Miss Xia, where are you going? Let me send you?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom-shaped eyes were shining. The diamonds by his ears could notpare to the brilliance in his eyes.

    It had been a long time since he had seen Xia Wanyuan. Even though he knew that he did not deserve such a person, he still looked forward to seeing her again.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Someone will pick me upter.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Xuan Sheng, who was dressed in a suit. ¡°Besides, CEO Xuan, you should have a meeting soon, right?¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked at his suit and remembered that he had an important shareholder meeting.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let me send you first.¡± Although the board of directors was important, Xuan Sheng had not seen Xia Wanyuan in a long time. He did not know when they would meet again, so he wanted to stay a while longer.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had not interacted much with Xuan Sheng, she knew that Xuan Sheng¡¯s character was unrestrained. To be able to make him wear a suit to attend the meeting must be very important. Hence, she insisted on going back herself.

    The two of them were in a deadlock when a Phantom slowly drove over.

    Xia Wanyuan assumed that the chauffeur hade to pick her up, so she waved at Xuan Sheng and walked towards the Phantom.

    Xuan Sheng stood there a little lonely as he watched Xia Wanyuan get into the car.

    Suddenly, the car window was opened. Xuan Sheng looked up in surprise, only to meet a pair of deep eyes. The smile on Xuan Sheng¡¯s face froze.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, if you don¡¯t have a good chauffeur, I don¡¯t mind giving you one,¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice sounded.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re too kind. A million dors for a collision, but it¡¯s definitely worth it to meet Miss Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng restrained the disappointment on his face and looked at Jun Shiling evilly.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xuan Sheng with a sharp gaze. ¡°On ount that you saved her life, otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have to attend Glory World¡¯s shareholder meeting today.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling closed the window.

    Outside the window, Xuan Sheng, who had a meaningless expression on his face, only stopped smiling after the Phantom gradually left.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xuan Sheng sat back in the car. His tone was tired as he touched the Buddha Bead in his hand.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°I bumped into Wei Zimu today.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to chat with Jun Shiling. ¡°To be precise, he¡¯s Wei Zimu¡¯s twin brother.¡±

    ¡°Mm, Wei Zimu has a brother?¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention Wei Zimu, Jun Shiling subconsciously thought of that ¡°Sister Wanyuan¡±.

    ¡°He said his name is Yu Qian. No wonder I kept feeling that something was wrong a few times.¡±

    ]Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling her suspicions.

    Seeing how Xia Wanyuan trusted him wholeheartedly, Jun Shiling was touched and happy.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to investigate.¡± After hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s story, Jun Shilingforted her.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she saw that Jun Shiling was especially easygoing today and was actually not angry. This did not match his usual character.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you angry today?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked curiously.

    ¡°I¡¯m magnanimous. Why should I be calctive with them?¡±

    However, the real situation was that Jun Shiling had seen the strategy of coaxing his wife online and the Inte said to be less jealous.

    Even if he was jealous, he could not let anyone see it.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan looked at him in amusement.

    ¡°You¡¯re magnanimous? Are you sure?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s watery eyes were filled with doubts.

 Chapter 523 - She is Light

    <h4>Chapter 523: She is Light</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    ¡°How am I not magnanimous?¡± Jun Shiling was very dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s doubts.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned back in her chair. ¡°I think Xuan Sheng is quite good-looking. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s okay.¡± It was obvious that he had gritted his teeth.

    ¡°Wei Zimu is quite good-looking too?¡±

    ¡°Not bad.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the side. The documents in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand were about to be crumpled by him.

    ¡°Yan Ci is not bad either. Thest time we acted together...¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling ced his hand behind her head and pressed closer to her, gritting his teeth tightly. ¡°I think you¡¯re trying to anger me to death.¡±

    ¡°No way. I just wanted to see how magnanimous CEO Jun is.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. Her bright eyes and white teeth made Jun Shiling unable to be angry even if he wanted to.

    Seeing how depressed Jun Shiling was, Xia Wanyuanughed out loud and leaned forward to kiss him.

    ¡°I like you the most.¡±

    This sentence directly poured out Jun Shiling¡¯s stomach full of anger.

    ¡°What sweet words...¡± Jun Shiling gritted his teeth.

    ¡°Then do you like the sweet words?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°I like it.¡± Jun Shiling sighed. He could not do anything to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was preparing to visit the rescued children today. Jun Shiling had many things to do. After sending Xia Wanyuan to the hospital, he settled his work in the car and waited for Xia Wanyuan.

    Apanied by the police, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the ward where the siblings were.

    ¡°Miss Xia, that little girl has suffered a rather serious mental trauma. If she is emotional, you have toe out immediately.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and pushed open the door.

    In the room, the thin little boy was leaning on the bed to rest. His broken arm was hanging by the bed. When he heard footsteps, the boy habitually revealed a vignt gaze.

    Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, the alertness in his eyes dissipated.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended on the little boy. She had only learned after reading the information that these two children, who did not look ten years old, were already fifteen.

    They had been abducted since they were two or three years old. Their long-term malnutrition made them look much younger than their peers.

    The little girl buried in the bed had a frightened expression on her thin face even when she was asleep.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly walked over. Although she had already lightened her footsteps, the extremely sensitive little girl still woke up from her sleep.

    The boy hurriedly reached out his right hand and held his sister¡¯s hand. Over the past few days, no matter who approached, his sister would break down and cry out. Even the doctor¡¯s injection and checkup were done after injecting her with a sedative.

    However, to his surprise, his sister did not cry out this time. Instead, she was especially quiet.

    ¡°Fairy Sister.¡±

    The little girl¡¯s soft voice sounded. She looked curiously at Xia Wanyuan, her eyes devoid of fear.

    At that time, she had been pressed down by that man and was already prepared to die. However, it was this beautiful fairy-like woman who had opened the door and brought her light. She trusted Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of her heart.

    ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Xia Wanyuan softened her voice and sat by the bed.

    ¡°Mm, mm, thank you, Fairy Sister.¡± The little girl nodded. Even though she had grown up eating leftovers and being beaten up, her eyes were still very clear.

    ¡°Rest well. In the future, no one will hit you anymore. You can do whatever you want.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a gentle smile on her face. There was a warmth that could prate one¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Fairy Sister, I want to study. Can I?¡±

    From the moment she could remember, there were only two things in her memory.

    Begging, getting beaten,

    She had been brought away by her brother countless times and captured countless times. In order to protect her, her brother had suffered countless beatings.

    Later on, the two of them resigned to fate and obediently went out to ask for money every day. That man saw that she was obedient and would make her wait for the school to end and squat at the school gate to ask for money from parents.

    The children of the parents were about the same age as her, and she looked very pitiful. Every time she went to the school, the parents would give her more money.

    Sometimes, she would go early and hear the sound of books being read on campus. She was extremely envious of them.

    Sometimes, she would listen to themin that their books were so heavy andin that they had exams tomorrow and did not want toe to school anymore.

    She would even cry silently.

    The ce they wanted to escape every day was a paradise that she could not enter no matter how much she thought about it.

    She had once flipped through a book in the trash bin that others did not want and secretly took it back. In the end, the man saw it and beat her up ruthlessly. Ever since then, she did not dare to touch these things anymore.

    ¡°Okay, when you¡¯re better, go to school with your brother, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The little girl nodded obediently. ¡°When I¡¯m done studying, I¡¯ll buy you whatever you like, Fairy Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at this pair of pure and grateful eyes that had experienced the extreme evil of the world and felt upset.

    ¡°Rest well. I bought you candy.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the box in her hand to her. ¡°You can go to school when you¡¯re better.¡±

    ¡°Mm, thank you, Fairy Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the boy beside her. ¡°When your sisteres out of the hospital, all of you can go to school.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The boy shook his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a determined gaze. ¡°Sister Xia, I want to be a policeman.¡±

    The boy was still young, but he had already made up his mind.

    He knew how terrifying the evil in the world was, and he knew how hopeless people were when they fell into darkness. He was grateful that Xia Wanyuan had saved them.

    In the future, he would be someone who stretched out his hand to hell.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him quietly for a while. Seeing that although he was young, his gaze was as firm as stone, she nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect this either.

    Many yearster, this child that she had pulled into the world became a one-armed policeman who touched the entire China and was respected by everyone.

    He had outstanding achievements, but he had rejected countless opportunities to promote. He had worked hard to travel to every dark corner of thisnd and had saved countless people in his life.

    He recovered the hopes of countless families and dragged countless people back to the world.

    When he was old, he faced countless praises and reverence and only said one sentence to everyone.

    ¡°Someone once bestowed me with light. I¡¯ve only given this light back in my life.¡±

    Of course, this was all in the future.

    After visiting the siblings, Xia Wanyuan went to look at the other children who had been saved. She brought them many candy and toys. Flower-like smiles bloomed again beside Xia Wanyuan.

    The apanying police felt that it was very strange.

    Miss Xia looked extremely cold and rarely smiled. However, for some reason, those children were not afraid of her and were very close to her.

    The children, who could not even be coaxed by the most gentle and amiable youngdies in the department, were extremely obedient in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the rescued children one by one. Thinking that Jun Shiling was still waiting for her in the car, she greeted the police and prepared to leave.

    Who would have thought that when they reached the second floor, they would see Han Yuan running over in a panic?

    Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks and looked up at the name of the department.

    Gynaecology.

    Han Yuan held the test results and walked uneasily. She suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she looked up, she saw Xia Wanyuan standing not far away.

    Han Yuan subconsciously hid the test results behind her and looked at Xia Wanyuan with eyes filled with resentment. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the Big Star Xia, the Big Professor Xia?¡±

    Han Yuan mocked Xia Wanyuan out of habit. It was only when she spoke that she recalled what she hade here for. Her expression changed and she turned to leave.

    ¡°You¡¯re pregnant?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cool voice came from behind.

    Han Yuan stopped in her tracks and panic shed across her face. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had only wanted to test it out, but she did not expect it to be true. She looked at Han Yuan¡¯s panicked expression.

    <i>This child was probably not Xia Yuanqing¡¯s.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. There were only a few people in the Xia family, but they knew how to cause trouble.

    Under those cool eyes, Han Yuan felt that she had nowhere to hide. Not willing to talk to Xia Wanyuan anymore, she took the test results and turned to leave.

    When Xia Wanyuan returned to the car, Jun Shiling had just finished reading the entire stack of documents in his hand.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Jun Shiling asked when he saw the sadness on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and rubbed it gently like a kitten who had found someone to lean on.

    Jun Shiling smiled and stroked her hair before pulling her into his arms. Xia Wanyuany quietly, and Jun Shiling apanied her quietly. The car was peaceful andfortable.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Wei family.

    Yu Qian walked into the room and stopped when he stepped into the room.

    His eyes that were hidden under the heavy sses shed slightly. Yu Qian walked to the sofa and reached out to take the nket covering it.

    A miniature camera by the sofa was shining with a red light, transmitting the surveince images.

    ¡°Look, he lifted it, hahaha.¡±

    ¡°This little bastard actually dared to embarrass me in front of Grandma. Let¡¯s see if I don¡¯t scare him to death this time.¡±

    Outside the surveince camera, a few juniors of the Wei family gathered and looked at the scene in the video excitedly.

    However, to their surprise, the colorful snake wriggling on the sofa was extremely terrifying even in the camera.

    However, Wei Zimu in the video did not react at all. He did not even blink.

    Just as Wei Yu and the rest were guessing if Wei Zimu was shocked, they saw him sitting on the sofa.

    The ferocious snake that they had bought from the southeastern region seemed to be afraid of something. It obedientlyy on the sofa and did not move.

    Wei Zimu took off his sses. Even though he still had that gentle face, his aura waspletely different.

    Despite having a face that was like the spring breeze, the aura on his body was extremely dark. He sat beside a pile of poisonous snakes without a change in expression. This scene made people inexplicably have goosebumps.

    Wei Zimu slowly drank a mouthful of tea in the camera. Then, as if he knew where the surveince camera was, he reached out and disconnected the surveince connection.

    !!!

    Wei Yu and the rest were creeped out by Wei Zimu¡¯s final cold nce.

    ¡°F*ck, why does Wei Zimu look more and more sinister?¡±

    ¡°Did he know that we had installed a camera, so he pretended to be so calm? If he was really so bold, would he have to be so submissive usually?¡±

    Everyone discussed noisily, as if they wanted to use this to eliminate the coldness in their hearts.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan rested at home for a few days. She heard from the Public Security Bureau that today was the day the children would leave the hospital after recovering, so she arrived at the hospital with Jun Shiling.

    With the concern of the higher-ups and the help of Xia Wanyuan, the escape routes of these children had been arranged.

    The little girl was about to enter an ordinary school and would be surrounded by ordinary children. There was no pressure for the little girl to interact with them.

    Her brother had obtained the right to study at a famous police school through a special channel given by the officials.

    The other children had also been erased from their records and would grow healthily under the sun with their peers.

    Jun Shiling sat in the car with Xia Wanyuan.

    In the square not far away, the children wore white school uniforms for the first time. Although some of their pants were empty and some of their sleeves were empty, the smiles on everyone¡¯s faces were real.

    ¡°Baby,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said, his hand reaching for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the best,¡± Jun Shiling said from the bottom of his heart.

    The woman in his arms seemed to exude warmth and light from the depths of her soul. She always brought hope and future to the people around her.

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She leaned back and was steadily pulled into the arms of the person behind her.

    She had never understood the meaning of her existence in the world a thousand yearster.

    Now that she was surrounded by Jun Shiling¡¯s warm body temperature and looking at the bright smile outside, Xia Wanyuan felt more integrated into the world.

    Xia Wanyuan only looked in the car for a while before leaving with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I¡¯m going back to thepany. Where are you going?¡± Jun Shiling asked the obvious.

    ¡°I¡¯m going with you.¡± Other than asionally attending sses at Qing University, Xia Wanyuan had nothing else to do recently. She clung to Jun Shiling tightly.

    After An Rao learned that Xia Wanyuan stayed with Jun Shiling every day, she continuously sent Xia Wanyuan more than ten WeChat public posts.

    ¡°Women have to learn to y hard to get.¡±

    ¡°A woman who knows how to give a man space is the smartest woman.¡±

    ¡°How to make your man want you more?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan retorted, ¡°You¡¯re a woman who has never dated. You should find a boyfriend first.¡±

    !!!!!!!?????

    <i>Can¡¯t I be a love expert even if I haven¡¯t dated before? </i>

    After being killed by Xia Wanyuan in one move, An Rao looked up at the sky and sighed. <i>¡®My sister is not gentle at all! She even mocked me for not being in a rtionship. I¡¯m so tired.¡¯ </i>

    Xia Wanyuan had never guarded against Jun Shiling when she yed with her phone. Jun Shiling naturally saw what An Rao had sent and said after reading it.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to indulge me.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not finish his sentence, but he knew that Xia Wanyuan definitely understood.

    <i>What ying hard to get? What 360 moves in love? Those so-called skills were just because there was insufficient love. </i>

    <i>If the person who truly loved you stood there quietly, he would climb mountains and cross seas, treading on thorns. Even if you took a step forward, he would be worried that your feet would be stained with mud. </i>

    Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan wanted to stay with him whenever she had time. He had asked deliberately because he wanted to hear how dependent Xia Wanyuan was on him again.

    As expected, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer. ¡°Alright, I have a meeting today.. Come with me.¡±

    Jun Shiling was in a meeting. Xia Wanyuan did not want to go, so she stayed in Jun Shiling¡¯s office to draw.

    It had been a long time since Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount had been updated. Be it Weibo or the external inte, there were piles of people urging her to update.

    Xia Wanyuan spent the entire morning painting, then opened Weibo and posted it.

    By the time she realized that this seemed to be her personal ount, the Weibo post had already been sessfully uploaded.

    <i>Forget it,</i> Xia Wanyuan thought. <i>Anyway, everyone knew that Yuan Wanxia was her. It did not matter which ount she posted it on. </i>

    It had actually been a long time since Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount had been updated. Her fans had been camping every day when they suddenly received a reminder that ¡°your little baby has updated his status¡±.

    They hurriedly went to thements section to upy the front row, then went to the fan group to remind everyone. ¡°Yuan Yuan has posted on Weibo!! Everyone, quickly go and take a look!¡±

    When the fans arrived at Weibo, they shouted a few times to express their excitement without looking at the content. Then, they seriously looked at the contents of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post.

    What they saw shocked them. Xia Wanyuan had posted a painting.

    A red-dressed girl with a broken arm had her lower body in a swamp, but one could tell that she was struggling to climb up. The scene above waspletely different from the lower half. The upper half had pure white clouds and a blue sky, making one think of all the beautiful things in the world.

    The little girl¡¯s hand touched the sky and her feet stepped on the mud. There was a pure and clear smile on her face.

    [ What¡¯s going on? Xia Wanyuan knows how to draw? Why does this painting look so much like Master Yuan Wanxia? ]

    [ The person in front, it¡¯s time to change your Nokia. We¡¯re already at 5G. Why are you still living in the 2G era? ]

    [ This painting is really good. I¡¯m touched and sad looking at it. I won¡¯t tell you that my nose aches from watching it. ]

    Just as everyone was specting about the contents of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, a certain district police station sent a notification.

    Back then, this case had affected the hearts of the entire country. Everyone was very concerned about the aftermath of the matter.

    After the announcement from the Public Security Bureau, everyone quickly went to watch.

    ¡°Thank you for the attention of the entire country. Ever since the 701 case was solved, with the cooperation of the national public security system, we have arrested relevant suspects. Everyone, don¡¯t worry.

    Here, we would like to thank @ Xia Wanyuan. Not only was Miss Xia the person who provided the clues to this case, but she also provided all sorts of help for subsequent arrangements.

    ¡°Great love lives forever. The mes of the righteous path will not extinguish. We will continue moving forward.¡±

    [ I¡¯ll give you guys a Like for this speed of solving and settling cases! ]

    [ Great, great, great. Our Yuan Yuan is too good. She helped save the kidnapped children and spent money and effort. She¡¯s really beautiful and kind-hearted. ]

    [ I didn¡¯t know what Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting meant just now. I know now. It¡¯s a little embarrassing. I apologize for defaming Xia Wanyuan in the past. I¡¯m sorry. ]

    Because of the praise from the Public Security Bureau for naming names and coupled with the fact that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was excellent, after asking for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s authorization, this painting was directly recorded by the National Hope Engineering and became the publicity picture for the Hope Engineering project back then.

    Xia Wanyuan was reading theizens¡¯ments when Tang Yin called. Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone.

    ¡°A g for the business forum?¡± After hearing Tang Yin¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Do I need to attend this?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± An affirmative answer came from Tang Yin¡¯s side. ¡°This business discussion forum is not an ordinary forum. It¡¯s organized by the country and is held against the international financial crocodile. It¡¯s of great significance. I don¡¯t know why they handed you an invitation this time. We guessed that it might be rted to you contributing to the 701 case and having a good image.¡±

    Tang Yin was right. Only national artists could go on stage to perform at such a high-level forum g.

    However, national artists had always been older. The nner wanted to organize the g younger and more diverse, so he wanted to find someone younger and more charismatic.

    Xia Wanyuan was on the list. The nner watched a few scenes of her ¡°Singer¡± program and was very assured of her singing ability.

    There were originally a few others to choose from, but in the 701 case, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s contributions and subsequent good image made the person-in-charge decide directly that she was the final performer.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go.¡± Xia Wanyuan believed in Tang Yin and the rest¡¯s ability. Since Tang Yin thought that she should go, participating in this g would definitely be beneficial to her.

    After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling pushed open the door.

    ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Why did you have the meeting for so long?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m a little busy. I don¡¯t have anything on in the afternoon, so I can apany you properly.¡± Jun Shiling picked her up, and Xia Wanyuan leanedzily in his arms.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to attend rehearsal training in the afternoon and have to go out.¡±

    ¡°What rehearsal training?¡± Jun Shiling had not heard that Xia Wanyuan had recent activities.

    Xia Wanyuan repeated what Tang Yin had just said to Jun Shiling.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention the International Business Forum, a strange light shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was nestled in his arms and did not see the change in Jun Shiling¡¯s expression.

    ¡°Okay, then go. I¡¯ll pick you up tonight,¡± Jun Shiling said to Xia Wanyuan as usual.

    After eating with Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling sent her to the National Grand Auditorium.

    Because they had taken a long time to finalize the young performer, Xia Wanyuan did not have much time to rehearse.

    The International Business Forum would be held in four days.

    Xia Wanyuan finally ended her nearly one weekzy break and devoted herself to the rehearsal of the g.

    Soon, it was time for the International Business Forum.

    That day, Xia Wanyuan had been nervously rehearsing the entire time and did not have time to look at her phone.

    Hence, she did not know that the Inte had already exploded because of this forum.

    This forum had already gathered the global financial crocodile, attracting the attention of everyone in the industry, and the reason for attracting the attention of the entire Inte was:

    Among the participants revealed by the news media, the person ranked first was...

    It was three words that everyone was very familiar with.

    ¡°Jun¡±

    ¡°Shi¡±

    ¡°Ling¡±

    Everyone calcted with their fingers. They did not know when was thest time Jun Shiling had publicly appeared. They saw that Jun Shiling was actually on the business forum this time.

    The live-stream that was in charge of broadcasting the entire forum was instantly filled with people.

    The programmer was crazily bald, as he worked hard to repair the server.

    Theizens rushed in anxiously and happened to be in time for the forum to start.

    ¡°Master of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling, please enter.¡±

    As the host finished speaking, a cold Jun Shiling appeared on the screen.

    Jun Shiling walked in with a cold expression in a ck suit. Under the attention of everyone within and outside the venue, he walked to the first row and sat down.

    [ Mommy, your hormones, I¡¯m dead. ]

    [ This is the richest man in the world! Boohoo, he¡¯s so handsome, so handsome. How can he be so good-looking and so rich? The overbearing CEO in the novel isn¡¯t much either. ]

    [ When I think that such an outstanding person is my husband, I can even secretlyugh while hiding under the nket at night. ]

    [ The person in front, can you stop dreaming? Don¡¯t tease my husband every day, okay? ]

    It was originally amercial forum, but in the end, the number of people who entered the live-stream directly broke the million mark.

    As the programmers touched their remaining hair, they looked at Jun Shiling in the live-stream.

    <i>God had given some people perfect looks and strong capital. Most importantly, he had given them such thick hair!!</i>

    <i>The heavens are unfair!</i>

    Other than professional forums where industry insiders could understand all kinds ofnguages, everyone else was licking their lips in confusion.

    However, this was a national broadcast, not a marketing ount in the entertainment industry. The scenes given to everyone were very average and reasonable.

    The focus was on analyzing the global economy, not on any member alone.

    With their boring professional knowledge and the fact that they did not know when they would see Jun Shiling again, many people could not hold on anymore after watching until noon.

    At night, everyone went to Weibo to look at the HD photos. There were already very few people waiting in the live-stream.

    At that moment, a marketing ount exposed.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is the performer for tonight¡¯s International Business Forum g.¡±

    Everyone entered the live-stream again skeptically. The sound of Beijing Opera happened toe from the live-stream.

    Everyone waited patiently for a few minutes, but they realized that they were all old artists of the country.

    Although they sang very well, it was indeed not attractive to youngizens.

    <i>What an unscrupulous marketing ount. </i>Everyone cursed the marketing ount in their hearts before leaving the live-stream.

    At that moment, the host¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Next, please wee the young singer, Xia Wanyuan, to bring everyone a solo song for the zither, ¡®Moon is Full River¡¯.¡±

    <i>Xia Wanyuan?! </i>

    Everyone was shocked.<i> Could it be that the unscrupulous marketing ount was right? </i>

    Everyone hurriedly returned to the live-stream.

    The stage began to have the shadows of the moonlight. The lights in other ces were dimmed, and the stage was filled with water, as if a river was flowing past.

    The curtains parted and a stunning figure sat in the middle of the river.

    From ancient times to modern times, the feeling toward beauty was the same. The moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, everyone in the auditorium was stunned, regardless of which country they came from.

    The entire hall was so quiet that one could only hear the low sound of the zither on the stage.

    The makeup that Mu Feng had drawn for Xia Wanyuan was dignified and not old. It was lively and not frivolous. The powerful aura on Xia Wanyuan coincidentally controlled this makeup.

    She was like a woman who had walked out of a ssic Chinese ink painting with the elegance of Chinese history.

    There were murmurs of amazement in the quiet hall.

    With a low sound, the melodious sound of the zither surrounded the hall.

    At times, it was like spring and the scenery was bright, at times, it was like a storm with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear voice and zither music.

    At this moment...

    Without needing anymonnguage, Xia Wanyuan used her singing and zither music to show the beauty of China to everyone.

    The cameraman seemed to have been stunned by her. He pointed the camera at Xia Wanyuan for a long time, causing him to miss the bright eyes hidden in the darkness in the audience.

    Soon, the song ended. Everyone was still immersed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice and had not had enough.

    Thunderous apuse sounded in the hall.

    In the live-stream, ever since Xia Wanyuan appeared, all sorts of news had spread on Weibo. Netizens who had heard the news flooded the live-stream again. After Xia Wanyuan sang a song, thements were filled with apuse.

    ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up from the chair and walked to the front of the stage.

    At that moment, the lights in the venue had already lit up. As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes, who was sitting in the first row.

    Xia Wanyuan was shocked, but she did not show it on her face. After calmly thanking the audience, she walked off the stage and walked towards her seat.

    On the stage, the host had already begun to announce the next performer.

    ]Xia Wanyuan was wearing a long dress that stretched to the ground. It was a little inconvenient for her to walk, so she walked slowly down the stage.

    There were many racks of fixed camera positions below the stage. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress hung a small pile as she walked, making her stop in her tracks.

    Xia Wanyuan waved at the staff.

    However, before the staff could understand her, Jun Shiling, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, stood up.

    Everyone¡¯s gazes were no longer on the stage.

    Everyone watched Jun Shiling walk towards Xia Wanyuan step by step, then squatted down and helped her untie the hem of her dress on the little stump, then stood up.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted tough, but considering the eight hundred cameras beside her, she only nodded at Jun Shiling to express her gratitude.

    ]Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded at Xia Wanyuan before returning to his seat.

    The entire process was extremely short and normal, but when the main characters were Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, it was especially abnormal.

    The participants in the hall did not react. They only thought that this was Jun Shiling¡¯s gentlemanly behavior. After all, if it were them, they would do the same.

    However, the Chineseizens were already in an uproar.

    The photo of cold Jun Shiling squatting on the ground and fiddling with a skirt while the peerlessly beautiful Xia Wanyuan stood at the side and looked at him had already been reposted by countless people.

    [ I imagined an entire production of the overbearing CEO and his little wife every minute. Do you believe me? ]

    [ F*ck, I think I¡¯ve found a very good point! I¡¯m a cult. I¡¯m sorry. ]

    [ The evil cult in front, wait for me. Isn¡¯t Jun Shiling still the big boss of Star Creation Entertainment? Let me imagine a scene where the domineering CEO angrily threw gold for his little wife and bought Star Creation Entertainment. ]

    [ That¡¯s enough from you guys. If Jun Shiling really bought Star Creation Entertainment for Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wanyuan would have probably ascended to a resource cafe by now. Look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mysterious endorsement and film resources. She can¡¯t make it so big even in her dreams. ]

    Although everyone knew that it was impossible for the two of them, they could not stop the CP!!

    The big shot of the business world lifting the hem of his little celebrity wife¡¯s dress at the g touched on everyone¡¯s excitement.

    Hence, after the popr ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± hyperbole,

    Once again, the entertainment industry was still budding, but the ¡°Sovereign Summer [1.. ¡®Sovereign¡¯ is a meaning of ¡®Jun¡¯ in Chinese, and Xia can also refer to ¡®Summer¡¯] ¡± that eventually became the legend of the CP world began to be established.

    The following g was more normal. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were located far away. Until the end of the g, the two of them did not have much interaction.

    In the two hours that the g was held, nearly a hundred thousand fans had entered the ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± hyperbole.

    ¡°Coming,ing. I¡¯m from a cult.¡±

    ¡°Speaking of which, if Jun Shiling has a wife, wouldn¡¯t it be bad for our CP?¡±

    ¡°The person in front, don¡¯t worry. If Jun Shiling has a wife, with his ability, this hyperbole will probably not exist tomorrow morning. If everyone is still alive and well in this hyperbole tomorrow morning, we¡¯ll be sisters in the future!¡±

    Everyone agreed to this.

    The protagonist of their heated discussion, Jun Shiling, was currently in the car outside the country¡¯s auditorium. As he discussed the investment n with his subordinates, he waited for Xia Wanyuan to remove her makeup.

    ¡°Sure, do as we said just now. Give me a proposal tomorrow.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over from the window, Jun Shiling hung up the phone.

    The chauffeur opened the car door for Xia Wanyuan. The moment Xia Wanyuan got in, Jun Shiling¡¯s scent wafted over.

    ¡°Baby, you did so well today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Jun Shiling, you did it on purpose, right?¡±

    ¡°What on purpose?¡± Jun Shiling asked.

    ¡°You purposely didn¡¯t tell me that you wereing too.¡±

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he pulled her into his arms. ¡°No, I just wanted to give you a surprise.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s waist to protest.

    She knew that Jun Shiling had always been brooding over the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± hyperbole.

    When she was removing her makeup just now, she had seen thements online. Jun Shiling, who was popr all over the Inte, was squatting, and the photo of her standing at the side, be it the angle or the appearance, was extremely perfect.

    This was a nationalmercial forum. Not every photo could be taken and circted in the media.

    If not for Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions, this photo would not have been released.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. He leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell anyone that you¡¯re my wife. Everyone thought so themselves.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so hot. Stay away from me.¡± Xia Wanyuan had just removed her makeup and changed her clothes. She was already very hot, but when Jun Shiling approached, she became even hotter.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her and did not let go. He lowered the temperature in the car two degrees. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s not hot anymore.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°You always say that I¡¯m clingy. What about you, CEO Jun?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m clingy too,¡± Jun Shiling said honestly. ¡°I¡¯ll stick to you alone.¡±

    When Jun Shiling lifted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skirt, the members of the ¡®Sovereign Summer¡¯ hyperbole shouted, ¡°So sweet, so sweet, so sweet!!!¡±

    They never would have thought that the sugar levels of the two main characters had already exceeded the boundary of death.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The business g this time had a huge effect on Xia Wanyuan.

    Not only had her poprity exploded again, but her reputation had also exploded.

    Furthermore, because this was the official g of the country, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning appearance on it imperceptibly made the foreign countries¡¯ impression of China better.

    No matter how popr an artiste in the entertainment industry was, it was still very difficult to enter the mainstream system.

    The sess of this g program undoubtedly opened a wide path for Xia Wanyuan to enter the mainstream.

    Because she had been quite popr and exposed recently, even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses, drinks, and clothes were on fire.

    The sales of Ci Yi increased by a whole level every half a month.

    The industry insiders did not expect that a web shop on Weibo could expand to such arge scale in such a short time.

    The market in the industry was only that big. The influx of Ci Yi invaded the original market. Many establishedrgepanies began to secretly suppress Ci Yi.

    [fuzzy]However, to their surprise, this small shop on the Inte had an abnormally tenacious life force. No matter what they did, it could resolve the danger. They could not find any ce to destroy it. They could only watch as its business improved.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling had never said much to others, but he really wanted to tell everyone how good Xia Wanyuan was.

    WeChat Moments were filled with subordinates, so it was not convenient.

    When Jun Shiling had time, he recorded some scenes on Weibo.

    ¡°She looks cute eating cake.¡±

    ¡°My wife kissed me twice today. I¡¯m happy.¡±

    ¡°IMy baby wanted to eat supper tonight. It¡¯s the second time in my life that I¡¯ve cooked. I was praised.¡±

    ...........

    Unknowingly, there were more than a hundred records.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s ount was being monitored as a key anti-fan leader. When everyone saw that this person had gone crazy again, they raised their sleeves and wanted to educate him not to be delusional.

    Then, they realized that thements section was locked.

    This kind of grievance that made you roll up your sleeves and prepare to go all out but realized that not only did the other party ignore you, but he also locked the door, causing you to not even see him, instantly ignited the anger of the fans.

    Everyone hung up Jun Shiling¡¯s 111111111 ount.

    ¡°Can the CP fans of Sovereign Summer be any more shameless? I¡¯m really speechless. Even stanning has to have a limit. Don¡¯t you find it disgusting to say such things with such a name?¡±

    Suchments were everywhere in the hyperbole. At first, everyone tolerated it, butter on, they could not.

    ¡°We can¡¯t control this kind of retard! Now, Sovereign Summer hyperbole has officially announced that @ Jun Shiling1111111 is an anti-fan. All his actions have nothing to do with this hyperbole.¡±

    Hence, after Jun Shiling¡¯s 111111111 ount entered Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan club ck list, it once again went on the cklist of Sovereign Summer¡¯s fan club.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had been training in thepany for the past few days.

    The international fashion director of the Camellia brand was going toe to China in the next few days to choose fashion models for the autumn and winter season.

    The international fashion industry had always excluded China, especiallyrge global brands like Camellia. They rarely extended an olive branch to China.

    Over the years, China¡¯s economic level had gradually increased. Therge domestic market forced the international big shots to put down their high statuses and reach out to China.

    The Camellia brand mainly focused on women¡¯s clothing, so all the female celebrities in the country worked hard to win the favor of this fashion director.

    Star Creation Entertainment had specially hired a professional model guidance team for Xia Wanyuan. Every day, they trained Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stage steps and taught her about the history, characteristics, and styles of the Camellia brand.

    Xia Wanyuan listened intently.

    However, she was not interested in the position of the model. She was mainly interested in how the brand of Camellia could urately grasp the psychology of women and design clothes that wouldst for a century.

    After listening carefully and taking notes, it was already noon when the lesson ended.

    Ever since Jun Shiling participated in the International Business Forum, he had be especially busy. There were countless meetings waiting for him to attend, so he could not apany Xia Wanyuan for lunch.

    Xia Wanyuan had been eating in thepany¡¯s canteen herself for the past few days.

    When she went to thepany¡¯s canteen today, Xia Wanyuan bumped into a familiar face.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Seeing Fang Jin, who was dressed in punk attire, look over, Xia Wanyuan greeted him.

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t I your partnerst time? I¡¯m here to collect the money.¡± Fang Jin still had that indifferent attitude.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked towards the food stall. She ordered a few of her recently favorite dishes.

    Reality proved that the canteen auntie also looked at faces. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was so obedient and thin, her hands, which were used to scooping and shaking all year round, no longer trembled. She filled Xia Wanyuan with arge te of pork ribs.

    ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at the canteen auntie. The canteen auntie wished she could call her back and give her another spoonful.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely ate such canteen food.

    The food was average, but it was good for an experience. Xia Wanyuan did not have the habit of wasting food. She sat quietly by the window and ate the pork ribs that were clearly a little too much.

    A tended in front of her. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Fang Jin sitting in front of her with the te.

    ¡°I¡¯m bored alone. Do you mind having more people?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    Fang Jin sat in front of her and did not speak much. It was as if he really felt bored eating alone and came to find apanion.

    Finally, she finished the entire te of pork ribs. Xia Wanyuan drank a mouthful of water and didn¡¯t stand up immediately. Instead, she sat down to digest her food.

    ¡°Can I ask you a question?¡± Fang Jin finished his meal and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s your life in China? Are you happy?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed very strange for Fang Jin to ask this question, but Xia Wanyuan still nodded. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Fang Jin nodded and was about to say something when the phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello.¡±

    After Fang Jin picked up the phone, Xia Wanyuan stood up and left with the food tray.

    ¡°Yes, I just ate with her. Do you want to take a look?¡±

    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then an ¡°Okay.¡±

    Fang Jin switched the call mode to a video mode and then pointed the camera at Xia Wanyuan, who was handing over tes to the recycling bin not far away.

    Although it was just a side profile, one could tell that the woman in the camera had peerless charm and an extraordinary temperament.

    ¡°Good, good. With such a bearing, no wonder you said she was outstanding.¡± The man on the other end of the video smiled in relief. ¡°I¡¯m relieved to know that she¡¯s doing well. Fang Jin, go back to America first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fang Jin hung up the phone and bought a ticket back to America. When he looked up again, Xia Wanyuan had already left the canteen.

    That day, Beijing International Airport was abnormally lively. All the major news media had sent reporters and managers of various entertainmentpanies topletely surround the exit.

    ¡°Coming,ing!! Manda is here!¡±

    Someone shouted and the lights shed.

    Not far away, a woman with short white hair dressed in camellias appeared.

    She was Manda, who was reputed to be the female instructor of the fashion industry and also the fashion director of the Camellia family.

    Although Manda was close to fifty years old, she still looked very young because she had taken good care of himself. Her clothes were also at the forefront of global fashion.

    ¡°Director Manda, is there anyone you like in China this time?¡±

    ¡°Hello, this is your first time in China. How do you feel about China?¡±

    The reporters scrambled to get closer to Manda to ask questions, but the bodyguards who were already prepared escorted her all the way. Manda did not say a word the entire time.

    Even so, there was still a lot of news about her.

    Almost every entertainmentpany was waiting to contact her.

    Star Creation Entertainment also called Manda. At first, the other party heard the name of Star Creation Entertainment and felt that it was just a B-listpany, so they hung up.

    Star Creation Entertainment hurriedly called again. This time, they rified that they were a filmpany under the Jun Corporation, which gave them a chance to meet.

    Thepany hurriedly informed Xia Wanyuan of the meeting time and ce. After Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, she was about to go out when she received the finished product from the embroidery workshop that Shen Qian had sent over.

    Xia Wanyuan had been learning about design in the past few days and had seen many works by other masters. She had some inspiration for modern fashion design, so she studied the design herself.

    She was not proficient in tailoring and crafting, so after drawing the design, she handed it to a professional embroiderydy.

    Ever since Shen Qian merged the ten embroidery workshops, he had never started work. At one point, everyone thought that they were going to lose their jobs. They suddenly epted a batch of work andpleted the work that Shen Qian handed over especially efficiently and meticulously.

    Xia Wanyuan had just opened the box when a shout came from outside the door.

    ¡°Sister! I¡¯m here!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that in some aspects, An Rao really was a little like Xiao Bao. Before the person arrived, the voice came first.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw An Rao, who was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, walk in.

    However, her figure was too good. Even in the most ordinary clothes, she looked slender and long.

    ¡°Why did you change your style?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao¡¯s attire.?<i>Didn¡¯t this person think that a dress that crosses her knees was too long??</i>

    ¡°To avoid arousing suspicion.¡± An Rao waved her hand.

    Recently, she had been obsessed with all sorts of novels of overbearing CEOs. In the novels, the female lead always had a best friend who dressed gorgeously. She had ill intentions and wanted to seduce the CEO. She was furious from reading them and wished she could crawl into the book and beat that best friend up.

    At the thought that she might meet Jun Shiling when she came to y with Xia Wanyuan, it would be bad if they misunderstood.

    Hence, An Rao found the T-shirt and jeans that she had never worn since she was 15 years old and wore them again.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± An Rao changed her shoes and leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the box. Inside was a satin bag.

    On the ink-green bag, a silver-white crane was singing to its neck. Other than that, there were no other decorations.

    It was clearly extremely simple, but because the colors shed extremely perfectly, in addition to the vividness of the white crane, it was as if it was about to fly out. The embroidery that was originally very easy to look old was now extremely elegant.

    An Rao was a loyal supporter of foreign big shots, but this was the first time she felt that this extremely simple bag with a hint of nationalism was quite beautiful.

    ¡°Sister, where did you buy this? This bag is quite suitable for carrying in the summer. I¡¯ll get one too.¡±

    ¡°You like it? Try it.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the bag to An Rao. An Rao walked two rounds and couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Not bad, this type that looks cool suits summer.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and looked at it. ¡°There¡¯s still a problem with the interface.¡± With that, she sat at the table and took out the blueprint.

    An Rao leaned over to take a look. ¡°Oh my god, sister, don¡¯t tell me you designed this!¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re amazing!! If I were a man, I would definitely love you to death too. No wonder CEO Jun is so loyal to you.¡±

    An Rao had always felt that people who could design beautiful things were especially amazing. She even wanted to lean over and take a look.

    ¡°Mommy, why didn¡¯t you call me?¡± A child¡¯s cute voice suddenly came from the second floor.

    An Rao looked up.

    A round and fair little dumpling was looking at her curiously with his big eyes. He had probably just woken up, and there was a tuft of hair on his head. His face was as red as a little apple.

    !!!!!!!!!!

    An Rao¡¯s heart trembled from cuteness.

    Xiao Bao walked downstairs and ran to Xia Wanyuan to hug her leg. ¡°Mommy.¡±

    That weekend, the old master and hisrades went to the summer resort, so Xiao Bao stayed in the manor.

    ¡°Sister, you have a child already??¡± An Rao looked at the cute child in front of her, who she knew was Jun Shiling¡¯s biological son, in shock. Her heart almost melted.

    ¡°Mm, call her Auntie An.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Hello, Auntie,¡± Xiao Bao greeted An Rao softly, revealing tworge dimples and a row of neat white teeth.

    !!

    An Rao felt that she could not breathe anymore.?<i>What kind of god is my sister?! Even the child she gave birth to is so cute!?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to change the design n, so she pushed Xiao Bao towards An Rao. ¡°Go and y with Auntie. Mommy has something to do.¡±

    Xiao Bao, who was experienced in loving appearances, automatically assigned her to the same camp as Bo Xiao when he saw An Rao¡¯s face. His impression of An Rao increased.

    ¡°Come,e,e. Little dumpling, auntie will y with you. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    As a qualified public enemy of women, not only were no women willing to approach her, but even children were forbidden from approaching her by their mothers.

    It was the first time An Rao had met such a small and cute child. She held Xiao Bao¡¯s soft hand and yed with the toys with him.

    Ever since the International Business Forum, Jun Shiling had been busy every day. After the meeting was finally over in the morning, Jun Shiling returned to the manor.

    ¡°Why are you back?¡± Hearing footsteps, Xia Wanyuan looked up. It was Jun Shiling, who had been so busy these few days that she could barely see him.

    ¡°I came back to eat with you. I¡¯ll go back in the afternoon.¡± Jun Shiling took off his coat and walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to Jun Shiling habitually. Jun Shiling gently pulled her into his arms, then sat where Xia Wanyuan had been sitting and ced her on hisp.

    The design n was basicallypleted, so Xia Wanyuan folded the design and ced it properly. Then, she hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and said with a hint of bitterness, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten lunch with me for almost a week.¡±

    Jun Shiling liked Xia Wanyuan the most. His eyes were filled with smiles.. ¡°Didn¡¯t Ie back every day to eat dinner with you? You feel wronged just because I missed a meal. Why are you so clingy?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips that could not be hidden and snorted softly.

    Although they had not seen each other for only one morning, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had endless things to say. They hugged and shared what they had done that morning.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan did not quite understand some of the meetings, Jun Shiling still patiently told her the process of the meeting and the decision.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re hugging Mommy secretly again.¡±

    The two of them were chatting when Xiao Bao and An Rao returned after ying with the toys. An Rao was holding the ne in her hand. When she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle expression in the living room, she was so frightened that she almost dropped Xiao Bao¡¯s favorite ne on the ground.

    She finally understood why Xia Wanyuan did not have to learn those techniques of ying hard to get. From CEO Jun¡¯s expression, he was probably being controlled by her sister.

    When Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept across Xiao Bao, it was already filled with a warning coldness. Xiao Bao was already used to Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. He made a face at Jun Shiling, then pulled An Rao to the dining table.

    With Xiao Bao and An Rao around, Xia Wanyuan felt embarrassed being hugged, so she struggled to get down. Jun Shiling let her be.

    An Rao had never dreamed that she would one day be able to eat at the same table as the legendary Jun Shiling. When she nced at Xia Wanyuan, the little person in An Rao¡¯s heart danced happily.

    As expected, once one had made the right sister, anything could happen.

    However, very quickly, An Rao regretted staying here to eat.

    Even though there were outsiders present, Jun Shiling did not restrain his love for Xia Wanyuan at all.

    He personally poured water, peeled prawns, and picked the dishes.

    An Rao felt that if she and the little dumpling were not around, Jun Shiling would probably feed them directly and not even bear to let Xia Wanyuan raise her hand.

    The ten-thousand-year-old single dog had suffered greatly. An Rao and Xiao Bao hugged each other to warm themselves up and helped each other eat.

    After lunch, Jun Shiling returned to thepany. Without Jun Shiling around, An Rao felt rxed.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had nothing on in the afternoon, An Rao pestered her to bring her to the advancement round.

    Xia Wanyuan would never have thought that her skills were considered very good, but after ying the game with An Rao, the ck hole for half a month, An Rao was still at her original level.

    Xiao Bao leaned over to take a look at An Rao¡¯s results. 0-12.

    Although Xiao Bao did not y games, he had seen Xia Yu¡¯s results. They were the opposite of An Rao¡¯s.

    ¡°Auntie, you suck.¡± Xiao Bao fluttered his long eyshes and leaned on An Rao.

    ¡°¡­¡± Little Cutie was right. She could not refute it.

    After ying the game, Xiao Bao went to the special training ss.

    An Rao reluctantly bade Xiao Bao farewell, then looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was reading attentively. ¡°Sister, are you busy today?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything much.¡± She had already prepared the sses for next week and the design drafts had been sent to Shen Qian. Xia Wanyuan was still quite free for the time being.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go shopping, okay?¡±

    From her adolescence until now, An Rao had always wanted to eat and shop with her good friend like other girls. Unfortunately, this wish had not been realized until now.

    ¡°Okay.¡± After Xia Wanyuan came to the modern world, she had only gone to the Tianfu Well once at the beginning. Later on, she had never gone there again.

    Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes and chose an ordinary sports car in the garage.

    An Rao looked at this ¡°ordinary¡± sports car that was worth at least 40 million RMB and fell silent.

    But looking at the other cars in the garage, it seemed to be the most ordinary.

    An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I don¡¯t want to work anymore. Does your husband have any friends who are the richest in the world? Introduce them to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and looked at An Rao. ¡°Even at seventy?¡±

    An Rao pretended to be conflicted. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible. If there¡¯s really no other way, I can have a rich woman too. I¡¯m not very particr about the gender either.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and stepped on the elerator. The silver sports car instantly rushed out of the door.

    Before going to Tianfu Well, the two of them returned to An Rao¡¯s house first. When they went out, An Rao was already a beauty with exquisite makeup, bare shoulders, and a custom-made short skirt.

    Although An Rao rarely went out to shop in the past, she had done many strategies. She pulled Xia Wanyuan around the mall.

    One of the two was as elegant as water, while the other was as hot as fire. Even though they were wearing masks, they still attracted a hundred percent of the attention.

    An Rao liked to shop, while Xia Wanyuan liked to look at the styles of all kinds of clothes to find inspiration for her design. An afternoon passed, and the two of them had great results.

    An Rao bought nearly ten sets and even chose two for Xia Wanyuan.

    This was a high-end brand district with fewer guests. When the two of them chose clothes to eat, they did not wear masks every day.

    Xia Wanyuan was now an extremely popr person on the Inte, and An Rao was a topic of discussion in the entertainment industry.

    The two of them being together was the best topic on trending. A shop assistant vited the rules and secretly sold photos of the two of them eating and buying clothes to the paparazzi.

    Soon, there was news online.

    Initially, theizens did not believe it when they saw the text. After all, the two of them could not even get close. However, very quickly, the marketing ount released the photos.

    Dressed in a short white dress, the elegant Xia Wanyuan and the fiery and sexy An Rao really sat together and ate. From the photos, it seemed like the two of them had a pretty good rtionship.

    [¡­ How did these two people get together? ]

    [ What is Xia Wanyuan thinking? An Rao is used to being a mistress and breaking up other people¡¯s families. Why is she ying with such a b * tch? ]

    [ Can the person in front speak properly?? With that one-sided statement by Qin Yu, there¡¯s no evidence yet the fans me An Rao every day. Are you people delusional? ]

    [ No matter how you look at them, they don¡¯t seem to belong to the same world. ]

    There were too many controversial points on An Rao. The photo of her and Xia Wanyuan eating together quickly rushed to the trending topic.

    An Rao was very popr, but she was too reckless. She was loved by many people and hated by many. When these photos were released, even Xia Wanyuan was scolded.

    An Rao was already used to being scolded and had never responded to theizens¡¯ments. However, seeing that everyone had scolded Xia Wanyuan, An Rao could not sit still anymore and continuously scolded manyizens¡¯ insults.

    Seeing that An Rao had been replying, but Xia Wanyuan remained silent, everyone began to say that An Rao¡¯s passion stuck to a cold butt. Who would be friends with someone like An Rao? They asked An Rao not to lead Xia Wanyuan astray.

    Seeing these words, An Rao rolled her eyes. After so many years, theizens had only said these words back and forth, yet they did not find it annoying. Anyway, she was used to hearing these words and was toozy to argue with them.

    However, no one expected that

    Xia Wanyuan actually replied on Weibo.

    An Rao was arguing happily with theizens when her assistant suddenly called her from the side and said that Xia Wanyuan had posted on Weibo.

    An Rao clicked on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    Xia Wanyuan sent a picture. On it were the two hands holding milk tea cups that they had taken in the afternoon.

    ¡°The day I ate and drank with my good friend.¡±

    An Rao looked at the ¡®good friend¡¯ and acted smugly towards her assistant. ¡°Did you see that? My sister is still very interesting, right?¡±

    The assistant looked at An Rao speechlessly, then looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post.

    <i>This time, An Rao had good taste and made a good friend.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Soon, it was time for thepany¡¯s appointment with Manda.

    Chen Yun and Tang Yin came to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    Manda stayed at Junli Hotel.

    Junli Hotel was a high-end hotel under the Jun Corporation and had always paid attention to the meticulous service of guests.

    When Xia Wanyuan and the rest arrived at Junli Hotel, Manda did note out to see them immediately.

    Without the permission of the guests, the hotel staff rejected their request to enter.

    The corners of Tang Yin¡¯s lips twitched as she thought to herself,?<i>This is just because you don¡¯t know who Xia Wanyuan is. If you know, let¡¯s see how many of you have the guts to stop her.?</i>

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go back to the car and wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan sent a message, and Tang Yin and the rest returned to the car.

    There were history books in the car. Xia Wanyuan looked at them as she waited, but she was in no hurry.

    It was only when the entire morning passed and it was almost time for lunch that Tang Yin received the other party¡¯s call. The other party did not feel embarrassed at all after leaving her hanging for so long. Instead, his tone was very arrogant.

    ¡°There are too many people who want to see our director. Come over in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°...¡­.¡±

    Tang Yin drove outside, and Xia Wanyuan also heard what was said on the other end. She looked up from her book. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. You¡¯ve waited so long. Let¡¯s go and eat first. I¡¯ll treat you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan got Chen Yun to drive the car to the Hundred vour Hall and treated the two of them to a meal.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I don¡¯t think that Manda and the others are easy to get along with. We agreed to meet at ten in the morning, but they¡¯re so arrogant when they¡¯re not punctual. I really don¡¯t understand how such a team can be representative of Camellia.¡±

    After the meal, Tang Yin sat on the sofa to digest her food and chatted with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look in the afternoon. Thepany still spent effort to make this appointment.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s impression of this director had already dropped to a very low level. However, since she was here, Xia Wanyuan wanted to see what this so-called international fashion director looked like.

    Chen Yun was still eating his third bowl of rice when the call from Camellia came.

    After hanging up the phone, Tang Yin rolled her eyes. ¡°They want us to go over now.¡±

    Chen Yun hurriedly swallowed thest mouthful of rice and rushed to Junli Hotel with Tang Yin and Xia Wanyuan.

    This time, they were finally allowed in. As they walked in, they could see many familiar faces in the entertainment industry. Everyone was here for the Camellia fashion show and endorsement.

    With Tang Yin¡¯s apaniment, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the 22nd floor. Manda was staying in the presidential suite inside.

    The staff who had been waiting at the elevator weed them into the living room.

    Xia Wanyuan walked in. A woman with short, neat white hair and an exquisite Camellia suit was sitting on the seat and sizing up Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly walking in.

    ¡°Hello, my name is Xia Wanyuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan greeted her. Manda did not speak and just looked at the clothes on her.

    ¡°Youngdy, you¡¯re so lucky. Are you wearing the clothes designed by Master Karl?¡± Manda¡¯s voice was a little hoarse.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    She could tell that there was arrogance and disdain in Manda¡¯s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. There was no such person in her memory. She didn¡¯t know where this so-called fashion director¡¯s hostility towards her came from.

    However, since the other party¡¯s attitude was bad, Xia Wanyuan would not take it lying.

    She sat down on the sofa beside him and looked calmly at Manda, signaling her to continue.

    Manda frowned. ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that China is a state of etiquette, but it seems that its reputation is false.¡±

    ¡°I also heard that people from Ennd have always been punctual. From the looks of it, that¡¯s all.¡±

    Manda forced a smile. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re really eloquent. You do have the capital.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that the words ¡°have the capital¡± Manda said had a deeper meaning. However, before she could figure it out, Manda directly chased her out. The bodyguard beside her was already prepared to chase her away.

    Before they coulde, Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked out the door.

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan hade to see what this international big name designer was like. Now that she saw it, it was nothing much. She walked out of the hotel without any reluctance.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Manda received a call.

    ¡°No wonder you said that this woman has a sharp tongue. She¡¯s indeed difficult to deal with and doesn¡¯t have any manners at all. Your grandnephew¡¯s taste is too bad. He actually chose such a woman as his mistress.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely help you. I¡¯ve seen many women who are greedy for power.. I¡¯ll definitely teach her a lesson.¡±

    Tang Yin saw that Xia Wanyuan hade out so quickly and hurriedly went up to ask about the situation.

    Xia Wanyuan directly told Tang Yin that there was no chance. Tang Yin did not feel any regret.

    Thepany had originally ced high hopes on Xia Wanyuan to win the spot for the fashion show. She also felt that being able to be together with Camellia would be a huge improvement to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s international image.

    However, after the irritating actions of Camellia just now, Tang Yin felt that this so-calledrge brand was nothing much. They could not even be on time and wasted their entire day.

    Originally, the schedule for the day had been cut to suit Camellia. Now, the interview was over in three minutes. Xia Wanyuan got Tang Yin and Chen Yun to return to the studio while she drove a car and prepared to go out for a spin with An Rao.

    Jun Shiling had been too busy recently, and it was not convenient for him to go out with her publicly. Hence, An Rao had apanied Xia Wanyuan to many fun ces in the past few days.

    Although An Rao was controversial, her acting skills were good, she had a strong sense of fashion, and her personal temperament was extremely outstanding. She was especially favored by the spokesperson and was currently busy filming advertisements in the film studioplex.

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s message, An Rao directly got the photographer to speed up the filming and increase the efficiency by many times. By the time Xia Wanyuan arrived at the film studio in a red sports car, An Rao¡¯s advertisement was almost done filming.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a white shirt and ck suit pants. She was wearing sunsses as she sat in a red sports car, looking like a cold beauty.

    As usual, An Rao was dressed extremely coquettishly, like someone who was about to go to the roadside to hook up with a schr going for the Beijing examination.

    Everyone watched as the enchanting little vixen ran towards Xia Wanyuan. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that An Rao was a little stupid.

    There were especially many onlookers in the film studioplex. Soon, there were photos posted online by passers-by.

    What attracted the most attention was a photo taken by a photographer. Xia Wanyuan was wearing sunsses, rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, and had her arm by the car window. She exuded a cold aura.

    Wearing a sexy short skirt, An Rao ran towards Xia Wanyuan while waving at her.

    [ Oh my god, Xia Wanyuan is here for me. What kind of domineering female CEO wants to date Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ I never expected that An Rao would make me feel a little stupid one day. ]

    [ I¡¯ve always felt that it¡¯s very inappropriate for the two of them to make friends. Looking at this photo now, I actually feel that it¡¯s a little good. I¡¯m sorry. ]

    [ Am I the only one who¡¯s coveting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sports car? There are only ten cars in the world. I¡¯m so sour. She¡¯s so cool. ]

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s photos had been reposted by people from all walks of life. No one had expected that these two seemingly unrted people would be able to form a different kind of attractiveness.

    Variety programs in the country with good taste saw the potential in Xia Wanyuan and An Rao. Not even a day had passed since this photo became popr, but several variety programs had already extended olive branches to the two entertainmentpanies.

    Amongst them, there was a program that had been very popr in the past two years, but it was a program with higher difficulty. It was called ¡°Endless Challenge¡±.

    The contestants needed toplete the various missions assigned by the production team. The contestants¡¯ brains and stamina had to be rtively strong.

    Tang Yin and Chen Yun were more inclined to this one, but they also gave the other programs to Xia Wanyuan to watch.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s choice was the same as thepany¡¯s. She felt that ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was more interesting.

    An Rao¡¯s side waspletely dependent on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had chosen ¡°Endless Challenge¡±, An Rao also epted this variety show.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling had been so busy these few days that he had no time to spare. Every day, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, Jun Shiling had already left for thepany. By the time Jun Shiling returned, Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep for a long time.

    That morning, the sun had just risen. Jun Shiling took his phone and looked at the time. It was half past five in the morning.

    ncing at Xia Wanyuan in his arms, Jun Shiling kissed her forehead gently, then carefully removed his arm and prepared to get out of bed.

    Just as he pulled hus arm out and was about to get off the bed, he felt a pair of arms tighten around his waist.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was supposed to be sleeping, had woken up at some point and was looking at him faintly.

    ¡°It¡¯s only five o¡¯clock. Sleep a little more. I¡¯ve set an rm for you at seven o¡¯clock.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s backfortingly.

    With that, Jun Shiling wanted to get up, but the arm around his waist hugged him tightly, preventing him from getting up.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snuggled into his arms. ¡°I miss you.¡±

    Speaking of which, Xia Wanyuan had not seen Jun Shiling for two or three days. Although she could feel that Jun Shiling hugged her to sleep every night, he hade back toote and left too early.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart melted at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coquettish words. Hey back down under the nket and hugged her, kissing herfortingly.. ¡°I miss you too. If you have nothing on today,e to work with me, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s biological clock was very regr. Getting up at half-past five was a little early for her. Hence, when Jun Shiling helped her put on her clothes, Xia Wanyuan would yawn from time to time, and her eyes would be sleepy.

    ¡°Good girl, why don¡¯t you sleep more at home?¡± Although Jun Shiling wanted to bring Xia Wanyuan to thepany, his heart ached seeing her sleepy face.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°No, I want to go with you.¡±

    The usually cold Xia Wanyuan did not hide her dependence in front of Jun Shiling at all.

    Jun Shiling clenched his fists and looked at his phone. If not for the time limit, he really wanted to stay in the house with Xia Wanyuan and not go out for a day.

    After putting on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes, Jun Shiling carried her downstairs for breakfast, then brought her to thepany.

    In fact, Xia Wanyuan was still sleeping when she arrived at the office, but with Jun Shiling by her side, she had to feel more at ease.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up early in the morning and opened her eyes, Jun Shiling was sitting beside her, working seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan sat up. Jun Shiling heard themotion and reached out to pull her into his arms. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t disturb him and waited quietly for him to settle his matters.

    Whenever Jun Shiling was in a dilemma, Xia Wanyuan would give her opinions. A day passed just like that.

    With Xia Wanyuan by his side, Jun Shiling was in no hurry to go home. He instructed someone to send Jun Yin to Old Master Jun while he and Xia Wanyuan worked overtime in the office.

    By the time Jun Shiling finished what he had to do for the day, it was already eleven o¡¯clock at night.

    Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the carpet by the window, ying games with An Rao.

    An Rao¡¯s score of 0-15 once again refreshed her record. Her four teammates had all died, leaving Xia Wanyuan alone.

    The five opponents had already approached the crystal. Xia Wanyuan was prepared to fight them when a pair of hands reached over and took the phone from her. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion, only to see his fingers moving. Soon, the sound of victory came from the phone.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, she saw Jun Shiling switch off her phone and sit down with her.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said. ¡°I¡¯ve neglected you these few days.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. Of course she knew that Jun Shiling was busy, how could it be neglecting her?

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s opinion, he wanted to apany Xia Wanyuan no matter what she did. However, recently, it seemed that An Rao had been apanying Xia Wanyuan to relieve her boredom. Jun Shiling felt a little sorry for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan knew what he was thinking. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the same for An Rao to apany me? I have friends to y with. Besides, aren¡¯t you apanying me today?¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her into his arms, his heart aching andplicated. ¡°I want to put you in my pocket and bring you to work every day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and was suddenly curious about Jun Shiling¡¯s previous lifestyle. ¡°How did you work in the past? Will you work until this time?¡±

    ¡°Well, usually I¡¯ll work until now. Most of the time it¡¯ster than now.¡±

    Jun Shiling thought about his previous life. Those days where he worked alone untilte at night and then returned to his empty and cold home at two o¡¯clock in the morning. Now that he thought of it, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.

    However, it had only been three months.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her closer. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m tired. Let¡¯s sleep.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± It was already veryte, and Jun Shiling did not n to return to the manor with Xia Wanyuan anymore, so he carried her to the break room.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had not seen Jun Shiling much in three days, did not want to be separated from him at all.

    Even when Jun Shiling said that he wanted to take a shower, Xia Wanyuan pulled him reluctantly.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was holding onto the corner of his shirt, amused. ¡°Madam, you don¡¯t want to leave me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded honestly, not noticing the faint light in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°In that case¡­¡± Jun Shiling paused, then suddenly bent down and picked her up. ¡°Madam, bathe with me.¡±

    ¡°Hey, that¡¯s not what I meant!¡± Xia Wanyuan was shocked and hurriedly struggled to get down, but Jun Shiling restrained her.

    Jun Shiling, who usually only took twenty minutes to shower, took nearly two hours.

    When the two of them came out again, Xia Wanyuan was exhausted.

    After being ced under the nket by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan reached out to pat Jun Shiling to protest. Her arm was covered in star marks.

    ¡°Goodnight, baby.¡± Jun Shilingy down and pulled her into his arms. He leaned over and whispered in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, ¡°I¡¯ll always love you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who was still angry, smiled and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist with both hands, falling into a deep sleep.

    Over the past few days, all the reporters in China had wanted to interview Manda. Manda had chosen the most influential Starlight News in the Chinese entertainment industry from countless media outlets.

    The reporters asked more conventional questions, like Manda¡¯s understanding of fashion, predictions of the trend next year, and so on.

    He also asked Manda about her impression of China. Normally, people would be polite to such questions, but Manda¡¯s answer was unexpected.

    ¡°China is more prosperous than I imagined.¡± Manda nodded and changed the topic. ¡°However, I¡¯ve always heard that China is a state of etiquette, but some celebrities I¡¯ve interviewed over the past few days have made me somewhat suspicious of the rumors of this state of etiquette.¡±

    Starlight News was famous in the entertainment industry for its ability to create topics. Although everyone hated his method of reporting that wished for the world to be in chaos, it could not be denied that Starlight News¡¯ reports attracted a lot of attention every time.

    Upon hearing Manda¡¯s words, the Starlight News knew that the poprity of this episode would definitely reach the standard. When the reporters asked Manda specifically which celebrity in the entertainment industry he was talking about, Manda kept quiet.

    After the interview, Starlight News wrote the report that night and posted it online.

    Hence, a report called ¡°The Camellia Director uses Chinese female celebrities for being rude¡± appeared in front of everyone.

    The entire report was not specific to any female celebrity. Such a report that did not mention a name instantly covered all the female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

    Everyone guessed which artiste had attracted Manda¡¯s criticism.

    Fans of all families fought with flushed faces in thements section, afraid that their idol would be dragged out to be the person who was rude and arrogant.

    In just a few hours, the reading of this report had broken a million. The fans of every family were panic-stricken.

    At that moment, someone noticed that the official Weibo ount of the Camellia family liked an expose from a marketing ount a few years ago.

    This piece of news pointed out, ¡°Xia Wanyuan is acting like a big shot on the set.¡±

    Camellia and Xia Wanyuan werepletely unrted. Everyone was puzzled as to whether the official Weibo ount had slipped up. However, after waiting for a long time, they did not see the official Weibo ount cancel the Like. This caused theizens to boil.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At that moment, the protagonist of the controversy, Xia Wanyuan, had just woken up. She was tired fromst night, and with Jun Shiling by her side, Xia Wanyuan slept peacefully for a long time.

    Looking at the seat beside her, Jun Shiling was already up. Xia Wanyuan sat up and was about to get out of bed to put on her clothes when Jun Shiling, who was sitting in the office listening to his subordinates report work, seemed to sense something.

    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll talkter. You guys go ahead.¡± Jun Shiling waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, then turned and entered the break room.

    Pushing the door open, he saw that Xia Wanyuan was indeed awake. Jun Shiling took out clothes from the wardrobe and carefully put them on for Xia Wanyuan, then took a shoe from the side and put it on for her.

    ¡°Are you hungry? Go and wash up. I¡¯ll get you breakfast.¡±

    After washing up, Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door to the lounge and saw someone in the office.

    ¡°Hello, Sister-inw.¡± Bo Xiao curved his fox-like eyes and circled Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. He clicked his tongue in his heart.

    After Jun Shiling¡¯s ten-thousand-year-old iron tree bloomed, it really blinded him, the single dog.

    ¡°Morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Bo Xiao.

    There was breakfast on the table. Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao meaningfully.

    Bo Xiaoughed. ¡°Then, I won¡¯t be a third wheel here. I¡¯ll wait for you in the meeting room next door.¡± With that, Bo Xiao stood up and left the office.

    After breakfast, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left the office together. Jun Shiling went to talk to Bo Xiao, while Xia Wanyuan went to Qing University for lessons.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Camellia official Weibo ount did not cancel the Like for the Weibo post about Xia Wanyuan being rude for a long time. There were more and more guesses about Xia Wanyuan being the rude Chinese female celebrity Manda had mentioned.

    If this had happened a month ago, everyone might have fought to criticize Xia Wanyuan.

    However, theizens had filters. Now, Xia Wanyuan was under the name of professor in the Qing University and had shone brightly in ¡°Poetry Meet¡±.

    The Chinese had always associated talented people with virtuous people.

    Although many marketing ounts were leading the way, everyone was still watching.

    [ When a foreign person says something, all of you are guessing if your artiste did something wrong. That¡¯s toxic, right? ]

    [ This Mandady has a bad reputation abroad. She¡¯s especially good at putting on airs. It¡¯s not certain who¡¯s rude. ]

    [ I¡¯m a student at Qing University. I¡¯ve attended Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss before. If you¡¯ve seen Xia Wanyuan in person, you wouldn¡¯t believe the marketing ounts at all. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elegance and nobility are really from her bones. ]

    An Rao was even more firm. Her manager stopped her for a long time but could not stop her.

    An Rao directly posted on Weibo.

    @ An Rao: ¡°Some people really know how to y the me game.¡±

    Everyone had seen how close An Rao and Xia Wanyuan were. At this juncture, An Rao¡¯s Weibo post was naturally obvious that she was speaking up for Xia Wanyuan.

    An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans teamed up and dug up Manda¡¯s background.

    Then, they realized that this person¡¯s evaluation on the Inte was really not good.

    She was a descendant of a noble from Ennd and was on good terms with all kinds of celebrities. However, she was very unpopr among the people of Ennd.

    Hence, every time a marketing ount posted a Weibo post that ¡°the fashion director of Camellia used Xia Wanyuan of being rude¡±,

    Thements below were screenshots of various news reports about Manda¡¯s chaotic private life.

    Many passers-by who were unaware clicked on it. They originally felt that Xia Wanyuan was impolite, but when they saw thements section about Manda,

    <i>Tsk, she likes to put on airs so much. How can she say that our Chinese female celebrities are rude??</i>

    The official Weibo ount of Camellia had always been praised in China. This time, the car suddenly flipped, and many people flooded to Weibo to ask what was Camellia trying to do when they liked the post.

    Later on, as more and more people questioned them, the official Weibo ount of Camellia canceled the Like.

    Some fans even sent emails to the Camellia headquarters, saying that Camellia¡¯s actions had seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese.

    The Camellia headquarters called Manda.

    Manda smiled indifferently. ¡°The Chinese will only cause trouble for a day or two. When we start choosing fashion models, they¡¯ll still beg us.¡±

    After hanging up the call from the headquarters, Manda did not take this matter to heart at all. Arge number of entertainmentpanies were waiting to treat her to a meal and y everywhere. She did not take these things to heart.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the office.

    Bo Xiao watched Jun Shiling walk in and could not help but click his tongue.

    Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao coldly. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, go and guard Lie Dun.¡±

    ¡°You were so happy just a moment ago. Now, it¡¯s like the autumn wind has passed. Sigh, men with wives are really different.¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox.

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Bo Xiao had recently epted an S-rank mission. Jun Shiling knew that he would note and look for him unless it was something especially important.

    ¡°ording to our sources, King is currently in China. He camest month, but we have nothing on his whereabouts.¡±

    Jun Shiling pointed at the table gently. ¡°Keep an eye on the southwest. He¡¯ll definitely make a trip to the southwest in September.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao snapped his fingers. ¡°This is the situation analysis report of the Poison Scorpionboratory. I¡¯ll give it to you. I wouldn¡¯t be at ease if I handed it to anyone, so I had to take it back myself.¡±

    Jun Shiling took the encrypted storage device and nced at Bo Xiao. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±

    ¡°No, no, no. It¡¯s not easy for me to return to the country. Where¡¯s your little dumpling? I miss him so much.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao. ¡°Then take Jun Yin back to y in the afternoon. Remember to send him to school tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bo Xiao doted on the little dumpling to the core. However, Bo Xiao thought about it again, ¡°With me taking care of the child for you, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Look at my wife.¡± At the mention of Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling could not help but smile.

    ¡°Alright, I better go. Singles my age really can¡¯t stand you guys.¡± Bo Xiao pretended to shake off the goosebumps on his body, ¡°Let¡¯s go and find the little dumpling ~ ~¡±

    The content of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± ¡®s variety program was hard to read, and even the style of the entire production team was rushed.

    The second day after Tang Yin replied to the production team, the production team of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± brought the contract to Star Creation Entertainment.

    After the contract was signed, the matter was settled.

    The production team did not hide it and directly announced the news that An Rao and Xia Wanyuan were about to participate in ¡°The Endless Challenge¡±.

    Everyone looked at the limelight of the tough guy of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± and then looked at the official publicity photos of the two beauties.

    Everyone fell silent..?<i>This was what it meant to be ruthlessly destroying a flower.</i>

    Lin Jing had been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedule.

    After all, Star Creation Entertainment did not know Xia Wanyuan¡¯s true identity. What if they arranged a kissing scene or intimate scene for her?

    If he did not do his job well and Jun Shiling found out about it, he did not dare to imagine how badly everyone would die.

    After knowing that Xia Wanyuan had participated in ¡°The Endless Challenge¡±, Lin Jing went to watch the previous events.

    Climbing tall buildings, surviving on deserted inds, a hundred dors for three days, and so on. Lin Jing felt that this was simply torture, so he reported this to Jun Shiling.

    Who would have thought that Jun Shiling, who usually could not even bear to let Xia Wanyuan walk by herself, would simply say after watching some projects in ¡®Endless Challenge¡¯, ¡°Let her y if she likes. Just pay attention to the safety of the programs.¡±

    At the entrance of the kindergarten, Xiao Bao, who had fought with his ssmates over milk candy, was caught by the teacher and lectured for a long time.

    By the time he came out with a bitter expression, most of his friends had already left. There was basically no one at the entrance of the kindergarten.

    ¡°Little dumpling¡± A familiar voice sounded.

    Xiao Bao looked up in surprise, his round eyes lighting up. ¡°Little Uncle!!¡±

    Initially, Xiao Bao called him Uncle Bo Xiao, butter on, he simplified it to Uncle Xiao. Later on, he called him Little Uncle.

    ¡°Come here and let uncle hug you. Did you miss me?¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his eyes and picked up the little dumpling.

    ¡°I missed you so much!!!¡± Xiao Bao kissed Bo Xiao¡¯s face, causing him tough loudly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Your father doesn¡¯t want you anymore. Uncle will bring you home for a feast.¡±

    Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks sternly. ¡°Daddy won¡¯t abandon me. Has Daddy gone to spend some alone time with Mommy?¡±

    Bo Xiao was stunned by Xiao Bao¡¯s mischievous look. He pinched his little face. ¡°You know quite a lot.¡±

    Bo Xiao was about to stuff Xiao Bao into the backseat of the car when a sweet and charming female voice came from behind. ¡°Baby, where are you going?¡±

    Bo Xiao turned around and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

    Due to some special missions in the early years, Bo Xiao had basically spent three to four years in nightclubs and had seen countless beauties.

    However, this was the first time Bo Xiao had seen a woman that exuded sexiness even from her hair.

    After returning to China and living in the Bo family, Bo Xiao held onto the belief that the Bo family¡¯s money should be spent.

    He was decked in branded goods, one even more expensive than the other. The ck shirt was open to the chest with a diamond brooch.

    When his fox-like eyes narrowed, he looked like a yboy.

    Sensing Bo Xiao¡¯s gaze on her, she took another look at his outfit. Then nced at his outfit which made him look like he was going to the nightclub to dance.

    An Rao rolled her eyes in her heart.

    Recently, she had been staying with Xia Wanyuan and had seen many of Jun Shiling¡¯s abstinent elites. She felt that outstanding men should be like Jun Shiling, so she especially hated this kind of yboy second-generation heir.

    ¡°Auntie!!¡± Xiao Bao crawled out of Bo Xiao¡¯s arms happily when he saw An Rao and waved at her.

    ¡°Where are you going, baby? Go y with Auntie, okay?¡± When she chatted with Xia Wanyuan in the afternoon, An Rao had found out that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were going out that night, so she volunteered to bring the little dumpling home to y.

    ¡°But Little Uncle just said that he wants to bring me home.¡± Xiao Bao looked at An Rao awkwardly.

    ¡°What¡¯s so fun about him?¡± An Rao nced at Bo Xiao in disdain. She almost wrote the words¡¯ this person will lead a child astray ¡®.

    Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked up and down at An Rao¡¯s long and dazzling legs under her short skirt. He looked at her tight shoulder dress that outlined arge arc.

    The meaning in his eyes was obvious.?<i>¡®You¡¯re probably the one who will lead children astray.¡¯?</i>

    An Rao¡¯s heart trembled from his gaze.

    <i>Hooligan!</i>

    An Rao frowned. ¡°Baby, didn¡¯t you want to watch cartoonsst time? Let¡¯s go back with Auntie. Auntie will show you.¡±

    Initially, Xiao Bao was still conflicted about who looked better between Bo Xiao and An Rao.

    In the end, after hesitating for a long time, he realized that both of them were very good-looking and it seemed like he could not decide the winner. He was feeling vexed when he heard An Rao mention cartoon. The bnce in Xiao Bao¡¯s heart instantly tilted, and his eyes lit up. He was about to jump out of the car.

    Bo Xiao naturally saw through Xiao Bao¡¯s thoughts and nced at An Rao¡¯s smug expression.

    Bending down, he whispered something into Xiao Bao¡¯s ear, who instantly got into the car and waved at An Rao obediently. ¡°Bye, Auntie. I¡¯m going to Little Uncle¡¯s house to y.¡±

    Before An Rao could speak, Bo Xiao sat in the driver¡¯s seat and the car sped away.

    An Rao was furious. She was speechless at Bo Xiao¡¯s actions. She looked at the far back of the car.

    After a while, An Rao said,

    ¡°Dog man.¡±

    In the distant SUV, Bo Xiao threw a milk candy to Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Little dumpling, who is that person you called auntie?¡±

    Xiao Bao, who was confused by the milk candy, told him everything he knew.

    After talking for a long time, there seemed to be nothing else to say. Xiao Bao thought for a while.

    In the end, she added, ¡°Oh, right, Auntie¡¯s games were especially scammy. Super scam. Even my Mommy said that she was scammy.¡±

    Bo Xiao narrowed his eyes.

    He had thought that a person like Xia Wanyuan should have friends from noble families and poetry families.

    In the end, he did not expect that this alluring woman was actually his sister-inw¡¯s friend. How strange.

    That night, An Rao finally finished filming the advertisement and returned to her room. She was about to y a few games to cheer herself up when she realized that she had a friend request.

    An Rao pursed her lips.

    <i>It was just a 0-15. These people were amazing. They even added me as a friend to scold after me scolding in the game.?</i>

    Out of habit, An Rao clicked on the application and was about to reject it when she realized that it was a low-level ount.

    ¡°Hello, I just started ying games and don¡¯t know how to y. Can you bring me?¡±

    ???

    !!

    It was the first time someone who did not scold her had added her as a friend.. An Rao felt ttered.

    An Rao agreed to the friend request, and the bronze alternate ount sent an apprenticeship request.

    After epting this disciple, An Rao immediately felt extremely responsible. When she saw her disciple¡¯s poor ount, she instantly gave him more than ten skins.

    Then, she said domineeringly, ¡°Little disciple, don¡¯t worry. If you follow Master, Master will bring you to the King Realm.¡±

    In the Qing University ssroom, the setting sun passed through the creepers and shone on the podium. Xia Wanyuan was teaching the students how to draw boneless paintings.

    She waved the brush on the Xuan paper, her figure forever as straight as a bamboo.

    ¡°Everyone, you can learn how I used the brush just now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had a coldness that repelled others thousands of miles away.

    However, when she was in front of the students, there was a hint of gentleness in her eyes, making her look as if she had walked out of an ink painting.

    Especially that pair of cold eyes. Even in the warm sunlight of the evening, they looked extremely clear.

    Yu Qian sat in the first row and sat elegantly, listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture rather seriously.

    Wei Zimu was an outstanding graduate of Qing University.

    Although outsiders were not allowed to enter the ssrooms in Qing University, people like Wei Zimu were still qualified to enter and continue to enjoy the resources of the school.

    Yu Qian sat in the first row punctually for every lesson Xia Wanyuan had.

    As if she had never seen him, Xia Wanyuan continued to lecture.

    Xia Wanyuan put down her brush and the people in the ssroom began to draw using the method Xia Wanyuan had just taught them.

    Yu Qian picked up his brush and had a very standard posture. He smeared the paper for half an hour. After the person sitting beside him saw Yu Qian¡¯s painting, he eximed, ¡°Wow, Senior, you drew really well!¡±

    When the others heard themotion, they leaned over to look at Yu Qian¡¯s painting.

    Xia Wanyuan happened to walk to the podium and nced at Yu Qian¡¯s painting.

    On the paper, a woman was painting. She was vivid and lively, and it was very obvious who the painter was.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian. Yu Qian looked up and smiled warmly at Xia Wanyuan, which made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart turn inexplicably cold.

    ¡°It¡¯s very well drawn.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Professor Xia, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Yu Qian was as humble as his name[1. ¡®qian¡¯ in Chinese had the meaning of ¡®humble¡¯.

    When the bell rang, Xia Wanyuan turned around and returned to the podium. After giving the students their homework, she left the ssroom.

    Yu Qian smiled and put down his brush. The people in the ssroom left one after another.

    Yu Qian crushed the entire paper, leaving only a pair of clear eyes that he did not tear off.

    He put it in his suit pocket and walked out of the ssroom.

    Xia Wanyuan left the school and was about to get into the car to look for Jun Shiling at thepany.

    A cheer suddenly came from behind. ¡°Baby, baby!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. A group of people were holding her support banners and blocking the sidewalk, looking at her with fanaticism.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned, but still nodded. She had always been more patient with these fans who liked her.

    Every popr celebrity would have some more radical chasers.

    These chasers looked for scalpers or industry insiders to buy their idols¡¯ schedules and then followed them crazily to express their ¡°love¡± for their idols.

    This group of people who hade to look for Xia Wanyuan had actually been following her for a long time.

    They could finally meet their idol, and Xia Wanyuan even nodded gently at them.

    These pursuers were excited and rushed to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    A few people even wanted to grab Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand directly, but Xia Wanyuan dodged them.

    ¡°Can you give me an autograph? I like you very much.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a photo together. I love you so much!¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, look here. Cheese.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s originally gentle eyes gradually melted into coldness.

    ¡°It¡¯s my private itinerary now. I don¡¯t ept photos and signatures.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan pulled open the car door and sat in, leaving the group of people stunned.

    ¡°No, did Xia Wanyuan float?¡±

    ¡°Was she pretending on television? Her temper is too bad.¡±

    ¡°Forget it, forget it. Tsk, tsk. She¡¯s a big celebrity.. I can¡¯t afford to provoke her.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Jun Corporation in a car, she saw Manda and the rest walk out of the building.

    There were security guards in front of the building and the reporters did not dare to approach, but the road was filled with rows of reporters with cameras.

    ¡°Madam Manda, do you have a cooperation with the Jun Corporation this time?¡±

    ¡°Have you seen CEO Jun this time?¡±

    When Manda heard the reporters asking questions about her and the Jun Corporation one after another, an unnatural look shed across her eyes and she avoided the reporters¡¯ questions.

    The bodyguards beside her walked up and blocked the reporter.

    To the media reporters, not responding was the best response. To them, there were too many news points to dig up.

    Manda returned to Junli Hotel with his assistant, only to realize that the car could not enter the garage.

    The assistant was questioning the guard when the hotel staff pushed their luggage out.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Madam Manda, we¡¯ve been informed that all the hotels under the Jun Corporation will not be open to you. Please find another ce to stay.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± The assistant was stunned. He stepped forward to argue with the staff, who put down the box and turned to leave.

    Manda looked at the box that the staff had dragged out and was so angry that her eyes widened.

    Even the Ennd royal family did not dare to treat me like this!

    Other than choosing fashion models, she also wanted to build a bridge for Camellia in China.

    As the top businessman in China, Jun Shiling was naturally the person she wanted to cooperate with the most.

    She had thought that with Madam York¡¯s introduction, it would be easy for her to see Jun Shiling. Who would have thought that she could not see anyone after entering the Jun Corporation?

    Manda cleverly thought that she had something on Jun Shiling, so she got someone to pass him a small note.

    ¡°CEO Jun, are you interested in talking about your mistress?¡±

    1

    Then, it was not the person who weed her, but a group of security guards who chased them out.

    Thinking of the humiliation just now, she looked at the luggage that had been thrown out like trash in front of her.

    Manda picked up her phone and was about to contact the reporter she knew.

    Unexpectedly, when she switched on her phone, there was a bill on the screen.

    Manda did not notice what was on the bill at first. Now that she had called the reporter, she suddenly thought of something. She hung up the phone and returned to the main interface.

    At some point, the wallpaper had been changed to a tax form.

    It was the tax amount she had missedst year. The amount wasrge enough to convict her.

    Manda¡¯s hand trembled. She was not stupid. She naturally knew who in China had the ability to see through everything.

    At that moment, the reporter called back to ask what was wrong.

    Manda forced herself to calm down. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I called the wrong number. I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Manda brought her entourage to look for a hotel. However, all the hotels with stars in Beijing actually had shares in the Jun Corporation.

    In the end, they could only stay in thepany¡¯s employee apartment.

    a€¡±a€¡±a€¡±

    Seeing so many reporters outside thepany building, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t get out of the car and waited for Jun Shiling toe down.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at her quiet phone and felt a little strange.

    An Rao had always wanted to chat with her whenever she had time. Furthermore, she had recently dropped in rank and had note to look for her to bring her up.

    Just as she was about to call An Rao to ask what she had been busy with, the car door opened.

    Jun Shiling sat beside her, wrapped her in the pine fragrance.

    Xia Wanyuan naturally leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Where are we goingter?¡±

    That morning, Jun Shiling suddenly told Xia Wanyuan not to go home after she was done with work. He wanted to take her somewhere.

    Xia Wanyuan was not a person who especially pursued romance, but Jun Shiling¡¯s asional surprises delighted her, so she was very expectant of where she was going next.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been too busy these few days and didn¡¯t have time to care about you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her tighter. ¡°I¡¯ll have a good meal with you tonight.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°How many sses did you have today?¡± Jun Shiling acutely sensed the fatigue in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I had three consecutive lessons. I¡¯m so tired.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had notined for the entire day in front of others, suddenly felt her back ache when she heard Jun Shiling¡¯s question.

    Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg on his and slowly massaged it for her.. ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan put down her legs and leaned closer to Jun Shiling, leaning into his arms. ¡°Hug.¡±

    ¡°Okay, hug.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan dotingly, hugged her, and kissed her.

    The ce they were going to was in the suburbs. The car took a long time to arrive, and Xia Wanyuan felt a little sleepy.

    However, when she saw the scenery of ake in the suburbs, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sleepiness disappearedpletely.

    The continuousnterns illuminated the entireke as if it was daytime. There wererge amounts of lotus leaves and lotus flowers in theke, and there were also smallnterns floating on theke.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and slowly walked through the winding corridor to a pavilion in the middle of theke.

    Food had already been set up in the pavilion and was steaming.

    Seeing the dishes with red oil on the table, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s happy expression in amusement. ¡°You can only eat a little.¡±

    ¡°Okay, a hundred million dors.¡± Xia Wanyuan learned and integrated the essence of Jun Shiling¡¯s ¡°one hundred million?dors<sup>1</sup>¡°.

    The surroundingnterns were already bright enough, so there was no need to light anothermp.

    Xia Wanyuan sat at the table while Jun Shiling slowly picked out the fish bones for her.

    The night breeze brought the fragrance of the flowers to the pavilion, and the two of them ate quietly.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan put down her bowl and chopsticks, a round of fireworks exploded by theke.

    The sky was filled with shooting stars that exploded in the sky. Xia Wanyuan liked to watch them, so Jun Shiling got someone to set off fireworks by theke for an entire hour. Only when Xia Wanyuan was sleepy did the fireworks stop. The two of them lived in the small building by theke.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It had been a few days since An Rao pestered Xia Wanyuan to y games together.

    Other than being busy with work every day, she spent time teaching her useless disciple.

    After all, he was the first person who did not know the depth of the world and actually dared to take her as his master. An Rao felt that she must not let this disciple escape.

    <i>However, wasn¡¯t this disciple¡¯s improvement a little too fast??</i>

    On the first day, he still needed An Rao to teach him how to produce equipment and how to look at the enemy.

    It had only been a few days, and An Rao really did not want to admit it, but she could not deny that this disciple was already ying better than her.

    An Rao attributed this to the fact that men were born good at games and did not reflect on her own problem.

    An Rao was thinking about how the difference between people was so great, so she did not notice that she was already surrounded by the five enemies.

    An Rao thought for a moment about the probability of her being able to create a miracle by fighting five people alone. Then, she stood obediently on the spot.?<i>Forget it, I¡¯ll just die straightforwardly.</i>

    At that moment, Li Bai, who was wearing the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix costume that An Rao had given him, arrived with a sword in his hand.

    Countless sword shadows shed across the sky. Half a minuteter, the announcement of team annihtion came from the game.

    In the game, Li Bai stepped on the corpses of the enemies on the ground. The sword in his hand sparkled like a god.

    An Rao could not help but be stunned for a moment.

    <i>S-so handsome.?</i>

    When An Rao realized that her face was actually a little hot, she hurriedly chanted,?<i>¡°I¡¯m a magnificent big star. How can I be tempted by the virtual characters in the game?!¡±?</i>

    <i>This doesn¡¯t match my status as a big celebrity. I¡¯m so popr, beautiful, and sexy. Is there a need to be so infatuated??</i>

    An Rao chanted silently for a long time before finally saying, ¡°But he¡¯s really a little handsome!¡±

    Seeing the extremely ugly old man Lian Bo standing rooted to the ground, Bo Xiao could not help but question.

    Speaking of which, it was strange. Bo Xiao had never expected that An Rao would look like that in reality. In the game, she actually yed some old heroes that even men found ugly.

    Either the ck Demon Ox, Lian Bo who was as hard as a rock, or the Zhu Bajie who was chopping everywhere with a rake.

    Hence, no matter how cute the name on her head was, people would only think that she was a perverted ugly hunk.

    Bo Xiao was not surprised that An Rao would often be added as a friend and scolded.

    In the game, the chubby Lian Bo moved, looking a little confused. He walked a few steps in the opposite direction before turning back.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes raised. He actually felt that this ugly little old man was a little stupid. ¡°So stupid.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan also brought An Rao to y games, she rarely yed. Hence, even if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills were amazing, she could not bring along An Rao, the ck hole in the game.

    Meanwhile, An Rao¡¯s new little disciple basically yed with her whenever she had time.

    Her little disciple, who had grown up quickly, easily brought An Rao to the diamond bureau.

    An Rao was very touched. Then, with a wave of her hand, she packed thirty sets of skin for her little disciple.

    Looking at the packed skin in the email, the corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes curled up.

    ¡°And a stupid little rich woman.¡±

    The ce where Xia Wanyuan and the rest stayed at was beside ake. The sky had just lit up in the morning when an unknown bird began to chirp.

    After sleeping for eight hours, Xia Wanyuan naturally woke up. She looked out of the window and saw ayer of white fog on theke outside. Colorful birds flew over theke, causing ripples.

    Jun Shiling seemed to be still sleeping. Xia Wanyuan wanted to wait for him to wake up and take a walk together.

    However, after waiting for a while, Jun Shiling did not seem to have any intention of waking up. Xia Wanyuan had already slept enough and was wrapped in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She looked at Jun Shiling carefully in boredom.

    Sometimes, Xia Wanyuan had to admit that she had a penchant for appearances. Just like now, seeing Jun Shiling close his eyes, his usual fierce aura restrained, and his extremely gentle face, Xia Wanyuan could not help but want to say that he was good-looking.

    Normally, one could not tell. Now, looking at it, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyshes were still quite long. Xia Wanyuan reached out and touched Jun Shiling¡¯s eyshes.

    It was soft and tickled.

    Xia Wanyuan found it fun and wanted to reach out to touch it, but someone grabbed her hand.

    Jun Shiling flipped over and pressed her down. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping so early in the morning and you¡¯re touching me instead?¡±

    ¡°Who touched you?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Nonsense.¡±

    ¡°Bored?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was on the nket. She looked good after a good night¡¯s sleep, and she exuded a lively and clear aura. As he looked at her, he had a reaction.

    Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s change and wanted to kick him down, but Jun Shiling trained all year round and learned somebat skills that could counter her every time. Xia Wanyuan could not beat him.

    Looking at the rare mountain scenery outside the window, she was a little tempted and wanted to go for a walk.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was silent, Jun Shiling reacted even more. He was about to lean down when Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped him. ¡°Wait a minute.¡±

    Jun Shiling listened to Xia Wanyuan at all times, except for a special time.

    And now, it was that special moment.

    Jun Shiling ignored Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obstruction and continued to lean down. The heat spread to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears, causing her neck to turn red.

    In a moment of desperation, Xia Wanyuan blocked Jun Shiling with her hand. ¡°I want to be on top. Don¡¯t move.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were sessfully stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    A strange light shed in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He turned to look at the flushed Xia Wanyuan, thenughed. ¡°Where did you learn this, Madam?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t care about it. Lie down properly.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she realized that she looked like a person who had snatched a man. She could not help butugh.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling turned over andy back, his eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning. ¡°Then please enjoy it, Madam.¡±

    ¡°Close your eyes,¡± Xia Wanyuan urged.

    Jun Shiling smiled and closed his eyes. He felt a wave of warm air with a fragrance surge towards him. His heart tightened instantly, and the heat in his body surged down.

    However, after waiting for a while, the kiss did notnd on her face. The weight beside her had disappeared.

    Jun Shiling opened his eyes and saw that Xia Wanyuan had already put on a T-shirt and was pulling open the bedroom door to walk out.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m going for a walk. Rest well.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with smugness.

    She was always suppressed by Jun Shiling. Finally, there was one time when Jun Shiling did not seed, and Xia Wanyuan felt ted.

    Jun Shiling was stunned. ¡°Baby, you¡­¡±

    ¡°Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling and left with a smile, leaving Jun Shiling lying on the bed with a helpless expression.

    The fire that had been ignited by Xia Wanyuan was not so easily quelled. Jun Shiling used the cold water in the mountains to flush for a long time before suppressing the agitation in his heart.

    When Jun Shiling went out, he realized that Xia Wanyuan, who was supposed to be strolling in the mountains, was sitting on the swing at the entrance of the small building. She did not leave.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Waiting for you toe along,¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her phone and replied matter-of-factly. She knew that Jun Shiling would definitelye out to look for her.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart warmed.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan up and led her to the mountain path.

    The morning sun had slowly risen, shining through theyers of fog.

    Although the greenery in the manor was very good, it could notpare to the natural areas. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walked slowly in the mountains and chatted. In the hazy fog, they really looked like a match made in heaven.

    When they were going down the mountain, they bumped into a viger living in the mountains. He was carrying a basket of paper cutters and was about to go down the mountain to sell them. When he saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, these two noble people, he hurriedly came to promote them.

    Xia Wanyuan picked a few. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the people in the mountains would know how to cut paper so well.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the exquisite paper in her hand.

    She was puzzled.<i>?If it was so beautiful, why did we rarely see such things in the market other than tourist attractions??</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s attention was also attracted by the paper cut in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. It was a small portrait of a bride wearing a bright red wedding gown.

    ¡°Baby, when we get married in the future, do you want to wear a Chinese wedding dress or a Western one?¡±

    ¡°Married?¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s words.?<i>Didn¡¯t Jun Shiling and I get married a long time ago??</i>

    As if seeing through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, Jun Shiling pulled her hand and exined as they walked down the mountain, ¡°That doesn¡¯t count. When it¡¯s public, I¡¯llpensate you with the grandest wedding.¡±

    <i>I would make up to you with a grand wedding that the world and future generations would remember.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was suddenly a little expectant by Jun Shiling. ¡°I want Chinese-style.¡±

    In her previous life, there was a tradition in the Xia Dynasty. When their daughters were very young, their parents had already begun to prepare a wedding robe for them.

    As the most favored little princess of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phoenix cor and robe were made with all the treasures in the country. Just the threads that were used to sew the wedding dress were all the most precious golden feather threads.

    Her parents had once said that they wanted her to be the most beautiful bride in the entire Xia Dynasty when she got married.

    Unfortunately, that day, the pce gate had broken down and the item that was filled with the blessings and expectations of his parents and the pce servants was only something embedded with pearls and gems that could be sold for money, in the eyes of the rebels.

    Thinking of the past, Xia Wanyuan could not help but feel depressed.

    Jun Shiling turned to look at her, walked up to her, and squatted down. ¡°Come up, I¡¯ll carry you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not decline andy on Jun Shiling¡¯s back.

    ¡°If you like roses, let¡¯s put roses everywhere, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re so talented. I¡¯ll design the wedding dress with you and hand it to someone else to customize, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ....

    On the mountain path, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voices sounded.

    Xia Wanyuan listened to Jun Shiling¡¯s imagination of their wedding and couldn¡¯t help but hug him tighter.

    Although she did not know if her parents could see it in the sky after a thousand years¡­

    She still wanted to tell them that she had found the person who could make her wear the phoenix cor and veil and marry with all her heart.

    ¡ª¡ª

    When she was sitting at the entrance of the small building waiting for Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan had actually been scrolling through Weibo. Not only had she seen it, but she had also specially posted a Weibo post.

    After rejecting the request for a group photo with those so-called fans yesterday, these few people went back and began to personally say that Xia Wanyuan was acting like a big shot, using her of being rude.

    Normally, when celebrities faced these things, they were afraid of offending their fans, so they directly ignored them and did not respond. It would be fine after a while.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not have the personality to please fans, so she directly sent a message.

    ¡°It¡¯s enough if you like my works.. I don¡¯t need people who like me or those who chase after me fervently.¡±

    In the entertainment industry, only Best Actor and Best Actress, who had been famous for a long time, had the confidence to say that they did not need fans.

    To 99% of the celebrities in the entertainment industry, fans were people they wanted to rope in.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post immediately attracted all sorts of attention.

    Instantly, the fan industry was in turmoil. Other families who wanted topete with Xia Wanyuan for fan resources seized this opportunity and wantonly recruited people who had stopped being fans because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    [ Don¡¯t celebrities need fans to like them? ]

    [ As a celebrity, what¡¯s wrong with fans asking you to take a photo? Is there a problem with taking a photo with them? ]

    [ Can the person in front please rify the facts? Those few arepletely illegitimate and aren¡¯t called fans at all. They followed our Yuan Yuan in ss. Why should she take a photo with them? ]

    [ It¡¯s funny. You rely on your fans to be popr and your fans to make a living. Now, you¡¯re even unwilling to take a photo with your fans. I¡¯m speechless. Then why are you still a celebrity? ]

    In an instant, two groups of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans separated. One group firmly supported Xia Wanyuan, while the other believed that they were Xia Wanyuan¡¯s parents who provided for her, and felt that Xia Wanyuan did not have the slightest awareness of being a celebrity.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, scrolling through thements on Weibo one by one.

    These verbal attacks were really not lethal to her.

    However, Jun Shiling could not stand thesements and turned off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. ¡°What are you looking at? What¡¯s so good about looking at these?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to take her phone back, but Jun Shiling didn¡¯t give it to her.

    At this moment, the clouds in the mountains had already begun to dissipate, revealing the continuous green trees and the clearke.

    It was rare for her toe out and the scenery here was good. Xia Wanyuan wanted to stay another day.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, Jun Shiling seemed to know what she was thinking. ¡°I specially left two days to apany you. We can stay here for another day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was happy. She sat up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and turned to look at him, her eyes shining.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The warmth in his arms disappeared, and Jun Shiling was unhappy.

    Xia Wanyuan tilted her head, revealing a little dimples on her face. ¡°I want to kiss you. Close your eyes.¡±

    Jun Shiling was confused by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s petite appearance. He immediately smiled and closed his eyes.

    A few secondster, a morning kissnded on his face. Jun Shiling opened his eyes and met two pools of autumn water. His heart skipped a beat, but Xia Wanyuan quickly retreated and sat on the swing two meters away from Jun Shiling.

    She was holding the phone that Jun Shiling had hidden behind her.

    ¡°CEO Jun, what stage is difficult for a hero to cross?¡± Xia Wanyuan waved her phone at Jun Shiling, her eyes shining with a victorious smile.

    ¡°The bed stage,¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with his deep eyes and said meaningfully.

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan blushed when she heard this and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    Flipping open her phone, she saw that the fans¡¯ controversialments were still continuing.

    Xia Wanyuan directly edited another Weibo post.

    Before sending the message, Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling, who was racing against time to read the document.

    ¡°CEO Jun,¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jun Shiling looked up. With his gold-rimmed sses, he looked charming.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to squander.¡±

    ¡°Go ahead. Your husband¡¯s assets are enough for you to squander for another five thousand years.¡± Jun Shiling had always been strict. He roughly estimated that five thousand years was about right.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and pressed the send button on her phone. Then she put her phone aside and reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°Quick, let me rub off the halo of being the richest man.¡±

    Jun Shiling stepped forward and picked her up. ¡°Why are you getting more and more mischievous every day?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan buried herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulders. ¡°You pampered me.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Then, Madam, please work harder. There¡¯s still endless room for improvement.¡±

    While the haters, fans, and marketing ounts on the Inte were in a chaotic mess, they suddenly received a new post from Xia Wanyuan.

    They clicked on it and took a look.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°I¡¯m an actor and singer who is in charge of producing works. Everyone only needs to pay attention to my works. I don¡¯t need fans or rely on the entertainment industry to earn money. Thank you for your attention. Let¡¯s have a lucky draw for everyone.

    Three third prize winners would have her aodation and food all provided for as she tours the world.

    At first, when everyone saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, they thought that she was arrogant. Then, they looked at the prizes Xia Wanyuan had listed and were stunned for a second.

    At that moment, the number of people reposting and participating in the lucky draw had soared to tens of thousands.

    In an instant, no one cared what she said. They just buried themselves in reposting the lucky draw!

    Hence,

    As a hair killer, Xia Wanyuan was currently second on the Weibo programmer¡¯s assassination list.

    The first ce was Jun Shiling.

    By the time everyone finally squeezed into the Weibo ount that had copsed for a long time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo repost had already exceeded 500,000.

    [ Although I don¡¯t know if this award is real or not, let¡¯s talk about it after the lucky draw. This award is so big that I can¡¯t believe it. ]

    [ Is this the power of a rich woman? Sister, I can! ]

    [ I suddenly feel that Xia Wanyuan is a little cool. What should I do? I¡¯m definitely not interested in her money. I just think that she looks cooler driving a sports car with one hand. Really. ]

    [ Actually, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s morals are quite good. She¡¯s an actress and singer. She doesn¡¯t expect her fans to spend money, so she doesn¡¯t need to please her fans. In the current entertainment industry, most people put the cart before the horse. They only care about attracting fans and don¡¯t polish their acting skills properly. ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions triggered discussions about the rtionship between fans and idols.

    For a moment, everyone was thinking about the fans¡¯ boundaries.

    There were also some people who had stopped being fans because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, but they had also left behind more rational people who liked her.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t care about themotion online.

    Jun Shiling was busy with work and had been dealing with matters. Xia Wanyuan was reading by the side.

    In her previous life, no one wore sses in the Xia Dynasty, but many people in the modern world did. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t feel anything when she looked at others, but when she saw Jun Shiling reading seriously with a pair of gold-rimmed sses, Xia Wanyuan felt that he looked especially good.

    As Xia Wanyuan read, her gazended on Jun Shiling, who was not far away. Then, she took out her phone and secretly took a photo.

    However, her phone had never been on silent mode. The sound of the shutter was especially prominent in this quiet house.

    Hearing movement, Jun Shiling looked up and happened to see Xia Wanyuan blushing after being caught at the scene.

    Jun Shiling put down the documents and walked over to take Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. Xia Wanyuan hid the phone behind her.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was afraid of itching, Jun Shiling gently pinched her waist. Xia Wanyuan smiled and twisted it. Jun Shiling took the opportunity to take the phone. On it was a side profile of his face, who was wearing sses and reading documents seriously. The sunlight shone through the window and cast a circle of light behind him.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a faint smile. ¡°Taking photos of me secretly?¡±

    ¡°No, openly.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up. ¡°Can¡¯t I take photos of you?¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Sure, but you have to pay the model fee.¡±

    ¡°What fee?¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling stepped forward and picked her up.

    ¡°Do you remember what you said this morning, Madam?¡± Jun Shiling ced her on the bed, his gaze burning.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat from Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°You¡¯re on top.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were dyed red.

    To a certain extent, Xia Wanyuan doted on Jun Shiling very much. Most of the time, she would satisfy his request.

    Just like this time, under Jun Shiling¡¯s half-joking and half-expected pressure, Xia Wanyuan still fulfilled his wishes.

    In the past, it had always been Xia Wanyuan who clung to him gently. Today, seeing her control everything and being led by her, Jun Shiling was even more excited than before.

    In the end, the door of the small building was not opened until dinner time. The servants did not dare to go forward and could only wait outside.

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Rao called Xia Wanyuan a few times, but no one picked up.?<i>Could CEO Jun be such a beast??</i>

    She yed with her phone in boredom.

    After a while, she looked up at the sky and sighed. ¡°I¡¯m so bored.¡±

    She was bored and was about to start a game when she unexpectedly realized that her cheap disciple was online. She hurriedly sent him a team invitation.

    The moment her little disciple entered, he asked, ¡°Why are you only online after so long?¡±

    An Rao looked at his tone. ¡°Are you waiting for me?¡±

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± Her little disciple had a bad temper.

    However, An Rao was very happy. This was the first time someone had waited for her to y together.

    Her little disciple¡¯s skills were already getting better. Even if An Rao paddled the entire time, she could be brought flying.

    Hence, when choosing heroes, An Rao chose a mage that was very difficult and wanted to try it. She did not notice that the girl from the other couple in the team also wanted to y as a mage.

    When she entered the game, An Rao realized what suffering was.

    She did not even know how to use skills. In three minutes, she had given four kills. The other couple started opening their microphones and scolding people.

    An Rao had long been used to such teammates. She switched off the voice and text conversation with great familiarity.

    <i>The world was quiet!</i>

    She wanted to help her teammates catch people. When she passed by the jungle, she realized that Li Bai, who her little disciple was ying with, was standing still.

    An Rao walked around him.?<i>¡®Are you stuck?¡¯?</i>

    Soon, Li Bai moved again. He had killed three and four times on the way, and his hands were weak. He sessfully led the entire team to victory.

    At the end of the settlement, the couple even gave An Rao a Like.

    An Rao was speechless.?<i>How can you mock people like this??</i>

    Meanwhile, the two lover teammates were thinking:<i>?Next, let¡¯s continue to team with a hundred-star big shot who brought his delicate wife to low-end games to torture vegetables!!?</i>

    <h4>Chapter 544: Inte Rtionship</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Seeing that her level in the game had risen to an unprecedented level, An Rao had the illusion that she was a god.

    An Rao walked around with a rake. ¡°Disciple, your skills improved so quickly.¡±

    Bo Xiao understood. ¡°Master, you taught me well.¡±

    ¡°Hehe ~¡± An Rao puffed up her belly smugly and swung the rake a few times.

    After An Rao left the game, she gave her little disciple twenty sets of skin.

    In King¡¯s Glory, giving skin would increase the intimacy between the two of them, and the intimacy could be used to build rtionships.

    An Rao looked at the notification that she could establish a rtionship. She hesitated between her best friend and her gay friend for a long time before finally clicking on her best friend. Before she could send it out, her little disciple¡¯s rtionship application was sent.

    An Rao clicked on it.

    ¡°The other party has applied to be your lover.¡±

    ???????

    !!!!!!!

    An Rao was stunned and her face flushed red.

    <i>He must be coveting my beauty! He wants my devil¡¯s body! Hooligan!?</i>

    <i>But he will y games with me every day¡­ and even wait for me¡­</i>

    <i>He must think that I¡¯m rich and want to hook up with a rich woman instead of working hard!! Shameless!</i>

    <i>However, he was really handsome when he wore Phoenix Seeking Phoenix and carried a sword to save me¡­</i>

    ...¡­.

    After hesitating for a long time, An Rao steeled her heart and agreed.

    Looking at the heart-shaped picture of the lover on the screen, An Rao¡¯s face flushed red.

    The team application was sent over. An Rao clicked on it and her little disciple actually turned on the microphone.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± The voice was surprisingly pleasant to the ear. There was a hint of a smile at the end of the sentence, making one feel numb.

    An Rao was not sensitive to sound herself. In addition, the voice that came from the game would be different from a person¡¯s original voice, so An Rao did not feel that there was anything wrong.

    An Rao also opened the microphone shyly. ¡°Yeah.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, An Rao trembled and had goosebumps all over.?<i>Who is this bitchy sound!!! This is definitely not me!!!?</i>

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s gentle voice and thinking about the arrogant An Rao that day, Bo Xiao suddenlyughed. ¡°Let¡¯s go and bring you to the King.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao¡¯s ears turned red from Bo Xiao¡¯sughter. It was rare for her to be obedient.

    <i>What did my little disciple mean?? Why did he want to be my lover?! He even turned on the microphone? Was he trying to seduce me??</i>An Rao had eight hundred questions in her heart, but she did not dare to ask any of them.

    When choosing heroes, An Rao suddenly had a rare youthful heart.

    She hesitated and chose the support that she despised the most. She was especially good-looking, but she was extremely fragile. She could die after being poked twice.

    ]¡±Just y what you like.¡± Bo Xiao could not suppress his smile anymore.

    ¡°I like this hero.¡± An Rao was stubborn.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Bo Xiao did not speak further.

    After entering the game, An Rao had always been used to her reckless ying style.

    She, who usually died seven or eight times while ying with the strongest vitality Old Lian Bo, had switched to a soft and cute beauty as a support.

    After one round, thetest kill record was refreshed. 0-18

    Fortunately, Bo Xiao had turned the tide and brought them to victory, so her teammates did not report her.

    In the next round, without needing Bo Xiao to say anything, An Rao automatically chose her favorite Old Lian Bo.

    After three or four rounds, Bo Xiao was about to go offline. ¡°I have something to do. Let¡¯s y tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± An Rao, who had won consecutively, was overjoyed.

    ¡°Add me on WeChat? I¡¯ll call you when we y tomorrow. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to wait for a long time.¡±

    Initially, An Rao did not add strangers on WeChat, but seeing that he had waited for a long time, An Rao suddenly felt a little guilty.

    In the end, An Rao still gave him her WeChat.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At half-past eight in the evening, An Rao finally contacted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister!!! Where did you go!! I waited for you for the entire afternoon!¡± An Rao, who had not thought of Xia Wanyuan for the entire afternoon, did not think that there was anything wrong with her words.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was clearly hoarse and hazy.

    An Rao knew what had happened the moment she heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice.

    Although she had never eaten pork before, she had secretly read so many CEO novels. The female lead of the CEO novel also woke up like this after experiencing all of that.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sister, your life is very harmonious with CEO Jun¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very tired.

    ¡°Don¡¯t. I want to ask you a question.¡± No matter how An Rao thought about it, she could only share this with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Speak.¡± A pair ofrge hands wrapped around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. Xia Wanyuan was rxed and shrank into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, exuding endless love.

    Hence, An Rao told Xia Wanyuan everything about how she had met her little disciple, and how her little disciple had applied for a lover with her today.

    After Xia Wanyuan heard this, she was silent for a while. ¡°An Rao, you¡¯re in an online rtionship?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?!!¡± An Rao suddenly raised her voice. ¡°I¡¯m the peerless An Rao. Would I be an online lover? What a joke!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was silent. When An Rao had just described how handsome her little disciple was and how he had saved her, waiting for her every day and ying with her, Xia Wanyuan could feel that she was smiling through the phone.

    It would be strange if there was no problem.

    ¡°He added you on WeChat. Just block your Moments and don¡¯t let anyone notice.¡± After a pause, Xia Wanyuan felt that with An Rao¡¯s intelligence, she was easily deceived. ¡°Send me a screenshot of his WeChat and let me take a look.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, An Rao quickly took a screenshot of the other party¡¯s WeChat.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the picture.?<i>Why did I feel that this profile picture looked a little familiar? I seemed to have seen it on Jun Shiling¡¯s WeChat.?</i>

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°What did you call me just now?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice sounded. ¡°Am I Jun Shiling now?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling angrily, but Jun Shiling grabbed her ankle.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to get excited again, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scalp turned numb. She hurriedly ced the phone in front of Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Look at this An Rao online lover. Do you know this person¡¯s WeChat?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze shifted to his phone and looked at the extremely familiar WeChat profile. He fell silent for a moment before saying,

    ¡°This is Bo Xiao.¡±

    ¡°..........¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. She did not think that Bo Xiao would be bored enough to y games and online dating with others. ¡°Was it deliberate?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao¡¯s WeChat profile picture and nodded. ¡°I think so.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused.?<i>How did these two get together??</i>

    Bo Xiao looked unreliable, but Xia Wanyuan knew that someone whom Jun Shiling would call ¡®brother¡¯ was not as simple as he looked.

    Xia Wanyuan typed a message on her phone and sent it.

    Then, she threw away her phone and snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Sleep a while more. I¡¯m so tired.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her tighter and kissed her hair.

    When An Rao saw what Xia Wanyuan had sent, she exploded.

    ¡°I wish you sess in your online rtionship.¡±

    <i>Does this sound like something my sister would say?!!?</i>

    <i>How could something like an online rtionship happen to the peerless Medusa in the entertainment industry??</i>

    <i>What a joke!!!</i>

    At that moment, her little disciple, who had disappeared for more than two hours, sent her a message. It was a voice message.

    An Rao clicked on it and a maic voice sounded.

    ¡°I have a mission tomorrow. I¡¯ll y games with you at seven at night. Sleep early. Goodnight.¡±

    An Rao listened to the voice message twice and prepared to reply with ¡°Okay.¡±

    Then, she flipped through his emoticon bank.

    There were fierce men who flew, funny people, panda emoticons, and curator Jin.

    The style was basically ¡°Die, you scoundrel!¡±, ¡°You¡¯ll be assassinated by me tonight!¡±, ¡°My teammates are muddled today¡±, and so on.

    No matter which picture was posted, it would definitely lock on the image of the ugly hunk.

    Thinking about the b*tchy strategy that she had been reading for the past few days, An Rao secretly found the nodding cat emoticon that Xia Wanyuan had sent her from her chat records.

    Then, she sent the emoticon of the cute little cat nodding.

    Bo Xiao was drinking water. When he saw this expression, he almost choked.

    He recalled how An Rao had stepped on her heels with a high and noble look that day, how she had yed Pigsy with the rake in the game, and then looked at this cute kitten in the conversation.

    Bo Xiao could not help but smile with his fox-like eyes. ¡°The little richdy still has three faces.¡±

    It waste at night.

    Xia Wanyuan slept for almost four hours. When she woke up again, it was already half-past twelve.

    The mountains were quiet, and one could only hear the sound of rain outside. The small window not far away was half open, and one could vaguely see the rain outside.

    The door opened and Xia Wanyuan turned around. Jun Shiling walked in with two bowls.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Jun Shiling put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked to the bed, helped Xia Wanyuan up, and helped her put on her clothes.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the noodles Jun Shiling had made.

    This time, it looked more appetizing than the previous two times. It was still shredded meat noodles with an egg on the surface.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, why are you so good at cooking?¡± Xia Wanyuan had never been stingy with her praise of Jun Shiling.

    Being looked at by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright eyes, Jun Shiling felt extremely satisfied. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling liked to hear her praise him, so she did not expose his deliberately suppressed happiness. ¡°You¡¯re the best.¡±

    The smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s lips disappeared. He stepped forward and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You have a sweet mouth.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and smiled, reflecting the brilliance in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s eat together.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled out a chair and prepared to sit herself, but Jun Shiling had already picked her up and ced her on hisp. ¡°I¡¯ll feed you.¡±

    Regarding these matters, Xia Wanyuan had always done as Jun Shiling said. She knew that he liked to feed her and personally do things about her. Since there was no one else present, it was nothing to make him happy.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and carefully blew the noodles until they were half cold. He scooped half a spoonful of soup with a spoon and added a little shredded meat and vegetables to feed Xia Wanyuan. When it was his turn, he picked it up and ate it very simply.

    The two of them finished the first bowl together and then the second.

    Xia Wanyuan tilted her head helplessly. ¡°Jun Shiling, will other couples be like us?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had never seen how modern couples lived in private, but she felt that Jun Shiling was too clingy to her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. It has nothing to do with me.¡± After feeding Xia Wanyuan thest bite, Jun Shiling put down his chopsticks. ¡°I only know that I like staying with you like this. You don¡¯t like this?¡±

    ¡°No, if you like it then it¡¯s fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan smacked her lips and Jun Shiling took the cup.

    ¡°If I like it then it¡¯s fine?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She knew that Jun Shiling had principles and would not make unreasonable requests. ¡°You don¡¯t like many things. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to satisfy you.¡±

    Jun Shiling could not describe how he felt.

    Ever since his mother passed away when he was young, no one had ever said such a thing to him.

    Although Old Master Jun doted on him, he was a man after all. He wouldn¡¯t notice what little preferences he had. Furthermore, he was in charge of the Jun Corporation back then and rarely had the energy to care about him.

    ¡°Then, thank you for your love, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling was silent for a long time before he finally said with a smile.

    The rain from the windows constantly fell on theke and danced in the mountains. The dark night mixed with the rain and wreaked havoc in the world.

    However, the light on the small building did not dim at all.

    The two of them had slept for a day. Although it was already past one in the morning, they were not sleepy at all.

    Seeing a box of chess in the house, Xia Wanyuan immediately had some thoughts.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered, and Jun Shiling guessed what she wanted to do. He ced the chessboard by the window and pulled Xia Wanyuan to sit down. The two of them yed Go.

    The drizzle from the window dripped on theke. The chess pieces in the house kept falling and intertwining. In this quiet world, it was also a harmonious song.

    Xia Wanyuan had been personally taught by a Go Saint in her previous life, so her chess skills were naturally excellent. However, although Jun Shiling could not beat her, he was not at a disadvantage.

    The two of them came and went, enough to pass the time at midnight.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in the venue of Continent M¡¯s World Go Competition, everyone was focused on the chessboard screen.

    On the screen, the white stones had an advantage and were pressing the ck stones to the corner of the chessboard.

    On the stands, the audience was divided into two sides. One side was supporters of China, and the other was supporters of America.

    At this moment, everyone was breathing heavily, afraid that they would disturb everyone¡¯s thoughts.

    Another white stone fell. Seeing that the ck stones were about to be left with no way to retreat,

    The Chinese g in the stands was clenched tightly in their hands. They were waiting for the referee to announce the final winner.

    The coaches were sweating. This was China¡¯sst hope.

    After the white stones fell, the ck stones did not move for a long time. Just as time was about to end, the ck stones moved.

    After the ck stones were settled, the audience heaved a sigh of relief. This time, China¡¯s champion was confirmed!

    Unlike the happy expressions of the audience, the coaches on the stands instantly turned ashen.

    As expected, in the next step, the ck piece used a move to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, instantly reversing the situation. The white piece that was filled with an advantageous position just now was being chased by the ck piece repeatedly.

    After five moves, the white piece lost.

    Heaven-shaking cheers sounded in the stands. The audience from America raised their gs.

    All the lights in the venue were directed at Lawrence from America, and Li Yi, the Chinese chess yer, waspletely ignored.

    On the stands, the audience began to pack their things in disappointment.

    ¡°We lost again. F*ck, I won¡¯t watch China¡¯s lousypetition anymore.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s clearly something that our country has developed for thousands of years, but in the end, we¡¯re not even as good as what they¡¯ve learned for about 200 years. Isn¡¯t it embarrassing? What¡¯s the difference between Chinese yers and pigs?¡±

    ¡°How embarrassing. I don¡¯t know how these people have the face to return to China. Their traditional chess skills are really infuriating. If Ie to watch this lousypetition again, my surname won¡¯t be Yang!¡±

    The audience cursed and left in front of the coaches. Before leaving, they specially rolled their eyes.

    The coach was also very dispirited. He had thought that he was the most likely to win this year, but unfortunately, someone else had taken the championship.

    China had a four-thousand-year history of Go, but it had fallen to the point of going to another country to participate in the worldpetitions. Furthermore, they had even given away the championship.

    No Chinese could stand this difference.

    Li Yi, the seeded yer for the championship, hid the disappointment in his eyes and packed his things to leave.

    However, his opponent, Lawrence, stopped him.

    At that moment, the spotlight was focused on them. Logically speaking, although he had failed, he should give the champion a friendly hug.

    Friendship came first, andpetition came second.

    However, Li Yi did not want to hug this person.

    There were originally six participants in their team, but in the end, only two participants could sessfullypete.

    The four contestants who could not participate had all been injured to various degrees, which was rted to Lawrence and the team behind him.

    Seeing the hatred in Li Yi¡¯s eyes, Lawrence smiled smugly and stretched out his arm.

    ¡°My dear Chinese friend, I hope to be your opponent next time.¡±

    When he let go of Li Yi, his face was pale. In the eyes of the media, Lawrence looked elegant and natural.

    As for this thin and short man from Asia, his face was filled with hostility. One look and one could tell that he was a sore loser.

    Li Yi clenched his fists and rejected the photo with Lawrence. He walked down the stage angrily.

    When Lawrence left, he whispered in his ear.

    ¡°Asian weakling.¡±

    Rain pattered outside the window, and the morning fog covered theke with a veil.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re really good at chess. I¡¯m ashamed of my inferiority.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration.

    Xia Wanyuan was not as gentle as she looked when she yed chess. Instead, her aura was like a rainbow, overflowing with a bold and domineering aura.

    It was as if she was really riding a magnificent army with the real murderous aura of the battlefield.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gazended on Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>How did Xia Wanyuan have such a powerful killing intent??</i>

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan looked up. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Madam, you have the talent to rule the world and the ability to arrange troops.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and seemed to sigh. ¡°I¡¯m so lucky.¡±

    ¡°Arrange troops?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with a faint smile. ¡°How can you tell?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and stepped forward to pick her up. ¡°I¡¯m not telling you. Let¡¯s go home.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around his neck and did not probe further. An extremely intelligent person like Jun Shiling must have realized the problem long ago.

    When they returned to the manor, Xiao Bao was sent back by Bo Xiao.

    ¡°¡±Mommy, Daddy!¡± Xiao Bao was wearing the panda suit Bo Xiao had bought for him. He was round like a panda cub.

    ¡°Good boy. Did you y well at Uncle Bo Xiao¡¯s ce?¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Xiao Bao nodded. Uncle Bo Xiao was super good. He bought him food, toys, and even yed with him.

    Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Bao said earnestly, ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ve already created a two-person world for you and Daddy. You must work hard and give birth to a sister for me as soon as possible!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan paused. Even without looking up, she could feel Jun Shiling¡¯s burning gaze.

    ¡°Mommy brought you something delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly changed the topic and sessfully attracted Xiao Bao¡¯s attention.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao into the house. He skipped around telling Xia Wanyuan about the books and toys he had read for the past two days,pletely forgetting about his sister.

    Behind him, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was long.?<i>Sister? It seemed like it was time to bring this up.?</i>

    He had not been back for two days, and two major things had already happened in Beijing.

    The first was that the Wei family in Beijing officially announced that Old Madam Wei, the head of the Wei family, was about to retire at the end of the year and hand the Wei family over to the next generation.

    The Wei family did not reveal the next generation¡¯s candidate.

    The Wei family was arge family that hadsted for hundreds of years. Their foundation was originally in the south. After Old Madam Wei¡¯s husband, Wei Fengxian, passed away,

    Old Madam Wei did not want to stir up emotions in the old residence in the south and moved her family to Beijing.

    Although there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Beijing, everyone had to be respectful when they saw the Wei family.

    Due to the powerful backing of the Wei family, everyone was very concerned about the next head of the Wei family.

    In an instant, the capital city was in turmoil. Countless bright and dark lines began to move. Even Wei Yu, Wei Yang, and the other children were roped in by all parties.

    The second matter was that the World Go Competition, which was the focus of attention every year, had ended. The Chinese team had left with expectations and returned with disappointment.

    Some extreme fans smashed rotten eggs at the Chinese team at the airport and even tried to lift the flower pot beside them to smash people, causing chaos.

    Especially Li Yi¡¯s ungentlemanly behavior after thepetition made everyone feel ashamed of him. Among the group of people who had returned to China, Li Yi was the one who had been scolded the most.

    The group of people from the Go Association were scolded all the way back to their residence. Everyone¡¯s hearts were heavy.

    The coach looked at everyone¡¯s dispirited faces and felt anxious.

    ¡°Pull yourselves together. It¡¯s fine if you fail this time. In your current state, what should we do for the following Master Competition?!¡±

    ¡°Coach, forget it. We can¡¯t even win thispetition. Masterpetition? How can we win? I don¡¯t think we can even enter the top ten.¡±

    Before they went to participate in thepetition, they were still filled with confidence. After the failure of thepetition, the countrymen cursed at them and they lost their fighting spirit. All of them were like frosted eggnts, dispirited.

    ¡°Sigh!¡± The coach sighed deeply. It was no wonder that these team members were dispirited. After all, even he felt that there was no hope for the masterpetition.

    Li Yi looked at the dejected team members and coaches from afar and punched the wall hard. His hands were bloodshot.

    ¡°Why am I so useless!!¡±

    Lawrence¡¯s words about the Asian weakling still rang in his ears, and his heart was filled with endless hatred.

    He wanted to defeat everyone and make the red g fly in front of the world¡¯s people, making this technique that originated from China shine in front of the world.

    However, their team had let everyone down.

    Li Yi was filled with anger and bitterness. He was about to push open the door and run ten kilometers when his phone rang. It was a call from his grandfather.

    ¡°Hello, Grandpa.¡± Li Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to look calm. He didn¡¯t want his grandpa to worry.

    ¡°My good grandson, you¡¯re back?¡± Grandpa was still as benevolent as ever, without any difference even if his grandson did not win the championship. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Come back for a meal this weekend. Your grandmother and I miss you very much.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Grandpa.¡± Li Yi¡¯s eyes turned red when he heard his family¡¯s voice.

    After hanging up the phone, the coach walked over. Li Yi suppressed the sourness in his nose.

    ¡°Li Yi, you¡¯ve seen the situation now. Train hard. We¡¯re preparing to let you participate in the Master Competition. Calm down.¡±

    ¡°Coach, I¡­¡± Li Yi wanted to say something, but the coach stopped him with a wave of his hand.

    ¡°You¡¯re our only hope now.. No matter the oue, we have to participate. We can¡¯t just give up, right?¡±

    The poprity of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post caused by a lucky draw had not subsided after two days. In two days, the number of reposts for this Weibo post had reached five million.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had not appeared for two days, some impatient people had already begun to suspect that Xia Wanyuan had a fake lucky draw. Some criticisms began to appear online.

    Finally, after coaxing Xiao Bao, who had not seen his mother for two days and was acting coquettishly and cute, Xia Wanyuan scrolled through Weibo and saw thesements, so she directly opened the award.

    Hence, without warning, the list of winners was announced.

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan posted the lucky draw on Weibo, Weibo had continued to level up the system in all sorts of ways, afraid that there would be another breakdown after the list of winners was announced.

    Fortunately, the server resisted the pressure this time.

    Because there were too many fourth and fifth prizes, Xia Wanyuan specially asked Chen Yun to make a table.

    Everyone clicked on the table and searched for their names. They quickly knew if they were the lucky person who had won the award.

    [ AHHHH!!! Fourth-ce!!! I¡¯ll ept the Ci Yi cups! I always wanted to buy it!! But I¡¯m a student and I don¡¯t have money. Wuwu, I love Xia Wanyuan to death! ]

    [ How bad am I? I can¡¯t even win a lucky draw with tens of thousands of people . Goodbye, the ount owner has already jumped off the building. Don¡¯t miss me. ]

    [ F*ck!!! Third prize!! I¡¯m rich! ]

    [ The person above, I¡¯m your long-lost wife. Before I die, I have a wish to go around the world with you. Is that okay? If not, I¡¯m your long-lost father. If you don¡¯t bring me along, you¡¯ll be unfilial. ]

    The lucky draw this time was notarized by the official Weibo tform, so most people did not think that there would be any conspiracy. The first and second prize main Weibo ounts were upied by a huge European aura team.

    Especially when the first prize winner obtained a suite.

    This was a blogger who had posted two Weibo posts in total. The first post was ¡°Hello, everyone, I¡¯m entering Weibo¡± automatically generated by the system. The second post was this reposted lucky draw Weibo post.

    Thement section of this first-rate lucky person exploded.

    [ Wake up!! You won the award! ]

    [ How fake. There are only two Weibo posts. One look and I can tell that she¡¯s just a small ount. Why can such a person win the award? Are you sure she¡¯s alive? ]

    [ That¡¯s too fake. Could it be that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to pay and created an alternate ount to receive the first prize herself? ]

    [ The person in front, are you crazy? Does Xia Wanyuanck money? She already sent the car, how could she not afford to send a house? Isn¡¯t it just that she didn¡¯t choose you? Why are you sour here? Your jealous look is so ugly. ]

    Almost thirty thousandments had gathered on this blogger¡¯s Weibo, but the ount owner seemed to have no reaction and did not appear from beginning to end.

    The staff was busy recording the people who came to redeem the award. After three days, they finally confirmed the names, addresses, and contact details of the winners.

    However, the column for the person who won the first ce was nk.

    The staff could not understand.

    The lucky draw would filter out zombie ounts that had not logged on to Weibo for nearly a month.

    Since this ount had not been screened, it meant that it was definitely not a zombie. She must have logged into Weibo more than three times in the past month.

    <i>Then why was there no reaction from this person despite such a hugemotion? </i>

    <i>Is he so rich that he doesn¡¯t care about five million dors? </i>

    Thinking of this, the staff felt sour. Boohoo, I also want a house so rich that I don¡¯t have to receive a five-million bonus.

    Weibo was verified with an actual name, and this ount had been verified with an actual name. After receiving the approval of the relevant procedures, the Weibo backstage pulled up the identity information of this ount.

    Then, they realized that she was not rich. In fact, the address she had filled in was in the poor shack area on the outskirts of Beijing.

    In the suburbs.

    The variety program for ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was in the midst of preparation. In the past, ¡°Endless Challenge¡± mostly invited male guests, but there were fewer female guests. This time, it bnced the ratio of men and women and divided it equally between five and five. Hence, the production team reevaluated the difficulty of the challenge and was adjusting the relevant projects. They did not start filming immediately.

    Xia Wanyuan was happy to be idle. She stayed in Qing University all day. Other than teaching sses, she attended sses in all the ssrooms.

    The Qing University gathered the top educational resources in the country. Xia Wanyuan listened to sses everywhere and benefited greatly.

    The students of Qing University were not used to this special ¡°ssmate¡± at first. Later on, everyone especially weed her.

    When Xia Wanyuan went to listen to other people¡¯s sses, she had never seen Yu Qian. However, when Xia Wanyuan taught herself, Yu Qian would definitely sit in the ssroom on time and listen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture with a familiar gentle smile.

    After ending the morning sses, Xia Wanyuan put away her textbook, ignored the gentle gaze in the ssroom, and walked out of the school.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, the corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up.

    <i>Since Brother liked this woman, why not bring her back and let her specially teach him??</i>

    It was the hottest time of the afternoon. The sun burned on the cement ground. Xia Wanyuan held an umbre and walked out of the school gate. The chauffeur Jun Shiling had sent was already waiting by the road.

    ¡°Pretty Sister, do you want to buy flowers?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was walking when a timid voice came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and met a pair of beautiful deer-like eyes.

    A little girl who was only about ten years old was wearing a washed-out flower dress. She was thin and small, but she was cleaned up very well.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the lotus flowers in the little girl¡¯s basket. ¡°Yes, give me all of these.¡± As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she took out her wallet from her bag.

    China rarely used cash nowadays. Xia Wanyuan only had more than a thousand dors in her bag. She ced all of it in the little girl¡¯s basket and reached out to take the lotus flower.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to leave, but the little girl blocked her way.

    ¡°Pretty Sister, one flower costs five dors. There are ten flowers here. You gave me too many.¡± The little girl took out fifty dors, folded the rest carefully, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Take the rest as a gift from me to buy candy for you. Take it.¡±

    ¡°Sister, you can¡¯t. My teacher taught me that I shouldn¡¯t receive a reward for nothing. Thank you for buying my flowers.¡± The little girl¡¯s eyes were clear like an untaintedke.

    ¡°Are you in school?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    ¡°Mm.¡± The little girl nodded. ¡°Mommy sent me there. Daddy didn¡¯t want me to go at first, but Mommy said that girls don¡¯t have to work as hard as her in the future if they studied.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the money from the little girl and smiled at her. ¡°Then work hard.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± The little girl nodded heavily. Then, she took the fifty dors from the flowers and ran away happily.

    In the following week, Xia Wanyuan would buy a basket of flowers from the little girl every day after sses.

    While chatting with the little girl, Xia Wanyuan realized that the little girl lived with her mother in the suburbs.

    ¡°Daddy doesn¡¯t want us. He doesn¡¯t like that I¡¯m a girl.¡± Perhaps she had been sad too many times. Now that she was talking about this cruel matter, the little girl¡¯s eyes were actually filled with calmness. ¡°When they get divorced, I¡¯ll follow Mommy and help her earn money. I¡¯ll go to school properly and let Mommy lead a good life in the future.¡±

    ¡°Definitely.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    When they got home, Xia Wanyuan got Jun Shiling to help investigate the youngdy¡¯s background. Jun Shiling acted quickly. Fifteen minutester, everything about the little girl¡¯s life was ced in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    At the same time, because they had not received a response from the award recipient for a long time, and seeing that the award was about to lose its effectiveness, the Weibo official obtained permission to send the registered identity of the winner to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the winner¡¯s information and went back to look at the little girl¡¯s mother¡¯s name.

    It clearly showed that

    It was the same person.

    At that moment, in the low shantytown of Beijing suburbs,

    The drunk man kicked the locked wooden door, waking the mother and daughter from their sleep.

    By the time they reacted, the man had already taken out a pile of change from the hole under the bed and stuffed it into his pocket.

    ¡°B * tch, and you little good-for-nothing! How dare you secretly hide the money? Do you think I don¡¯t know?¡± The man swayed his body out of the door and spat on the ground.

    <i>She had not given birth to a son for more than ten years, and she wanted to send a money-losing good to school? Dream on!!?</i>

    Behind her, the desperate cries of the woman and child lingered in the long night.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ll go pick flowers and sell them tomorrow.¡± There were tears on the little girl¡¯s face. When she saw her mother crying beside her, she stopped her tears andforted her.

    Wang Xiu usually did not want to expose her breakdown in front of her daughter, so she had been holding back her tears.

    However, she really could not stop herself today. Liu San had taken away the three thousand dors that she had saved by secretly washing tes for three months.

    There were also a few hundred dors from Zhu¡¯er¡¯s flower sale. The money was originally used to pay for her daughter¡¯s school fees, but now, it was taken away by Liu San to eat, drink, and y. He did not think about how difficult it was for his wife and daughter to earn this money.

    The next morning, Zhu¡¯er went to the river and picked a basket of lotus flowers. She waited for a long time at the Qing University gate, but no one was willing to buy her flowers. The beautiful sister who usually came often did note today.

    Zhu¡¯er returned home dejectedly with the half-disappointed flowers, but she heard arguing voices in the house.

    hu¡¯er hurriedly put down the basket and rushed in. Liu San was hitting Wang Xiu with arge stick.

    Although they were poor, Wang Xiu had always been diligent and had always been clean and tidy. Now, Wang Xiu, who was lying on the ground, had her hair spread out, and her face was mixed with tears and dust. She looked especially disheveled.

    ¡°Dad! You¡¯re not allowed to hit Mommy!¡± Zhu Er ran over and blocked Wang Xiu.

    However, Liu San did not show any mercy and swung the stick down. Wang Xiu pulled Zhu Er behind her and protected her. ¡°I agree to the divorce!!¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Liu San grinned. ¡°As long as you agree. I don¡¯t want this little money waster. Get out of this house tonight.¡±

    Just as Liu San was about to smash his stick at Zhu¡¯er without hesitation, Wang Xiu¡¯sst hope for this man disappeared.

    She tidied her hair and pulled Zhu¡¯er up. ¡°Go and pack your bag. We¡¯ll leave in a while.¡±

    Zhu¡¯er nodded obediently and quickly put away her things.

    ¡°You can¡¯t take that cup away!¡± Liu San watched the mother and daughter pack their things without blinking, afraid that they would secretly take something away.

    Even if there was nothing valuable in the room.

    Soon, the two of them were done packing. Liu San pushed her out of the door and threw out a divorce agreement.

    ¡°Hello, Red. I¡¯ve already chased that woman and that little good-for-nothing away. You cane and stay tonight.¡±

    Outside the door, Wang Xiu and Zhu¡¯er could clearly hear the excited voice inside. The mother and daughter carried their luggage and slowly walked towards the bridge.

    That was their safe ce for the night.

    In a certain house in Beijing, a woman with heavy makeup looked at the tall bodyguard in front of her and finished the call fearfully.

    ¡°I¡¯m done. He said that he chased the woman and child away and is already divorced.¡±

    ¡°Mm, this is your reward.¡± A bodyguard threw an envelope at her. The woman touched it with her hand and her bright red lips smiled.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Other than the first prize, the other prizes had already been distributed to the winners.

    Initially, everyone¡¯s attention was on the first and second prize.

    However, when the prizes were handed to everyone one after another, everyone¡¯s eyes were attracted by the fourth and fifth prizes.

    There were a total of ten types of porcin cups from Ci Yi, and every one of them was designed exquisitely.

    Originally, the main customers of this shop were mostly Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans. They had bought it after reading Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post.

    However, this time, the lucky draw Weibo ount that had nearly ten million reposts covered almost all the Weibo users in various circles, and the winners were naturally distributed in various circles.

    Everyone shared the photos of the prizes on Weibo, causing the crowd to be envious. Everyone asked where to find this porcin shop.

    Instantly, the sales of Ci Yi rose again.

    Everyone felt that the bag for the fifth prize was the most ordinary. Everyone thought that it was the kind of cloth bag or cartoon bag that was sold on the market.

    After all, this was what the others had given them for lucky draws.

    However, when the awardees opened the box and saw what was inside, they could not help but exim.

    The ink-ck satin surface and the white crane looked up from the neck. It looked like the high-end embroidery that was marked with seven to eight zeros in the window.

    In the bag were wooden fans and silk scarves of the same color.

    The winner picked up her bag and looked in the mirror.

    <i>What should I do? I instantly felt that I had be noble. The feeling of transforming into a rich family¡¯sdy.?</i>

    In the end, this backpack and scarf that exuded immortal aura became what everyone wanted the most. It was spected to be extremely expensive on a treasure website.

    At the same time, a shop named ¡°Xiu Yi¡± quietly went online.. Its first batch of products was what theizens had searched for but could not find.

    Because the coverage of the lucky draw this time was too wide, the second day after ¡°Xiu Yi¡± was released, the first batch of products in the shop was bought by people who had heard the news.

    The shop had no choice but to put up a sign that said ¡°restocking¡± and urgently increased orders.

    Shen Qian simply admired Xia Wanyuan.

    At first nce, her lucky draw seemed to have lost a lot of money, but in the long term, it would be countless times more beneficial.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Under the bridge, Wang Xiu had justid out the sack and spread out the nket. She was about to let Zhu¡¯er have a good sleep when several people in suits came.

    ¡°Hello, may I know if your Weibo name is Peaceful Heart?¡± the leader asked.

    ¡°What Weibo? I don¡¯t know.¡± There was nomon WeChat application on Wang Xiu¡¯s phone. Her phone waspletely used to contact her parents and she had never used any social media apps.

    ¡°...¡± The staff looked at each other. <i>Could it be that we had found the wrong person? </i>

    ¡°Mommy, I think you have an app called Weibo on your phone. I¡¯ve seen it before.¡± Just as both parties were silent, Zhu¡¯er suddenly spoke up.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Wang Xiu was still confused.

    ¡°Do you mind showing us your phone?¡±

    ¡°Here.¡± Wang Xiu¡¯s phone was what Liu San did not want to use after a while. It was worthless, so Wang Xiu handed it over.

    The staff flipped through it and indeed, he found the Weibo app on his phone. At this moment, there was a conspicuous 99 + on top of the app. He clicked on it and saw that

    It was indeed the ount owner who had won the first prize.

    ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve won the award. Your prize is a suite within five million dors. The relevant procedures are being processed. You can go and take a look at the house tonight.¡±

    The staff member¡¯s words stunned Wang Xiu. <i>How did I win? Five million dors?! I had never seen so much money in my life and had never even heard of it. </i>

    The staff handed the phone back to Wang Xiu.

    Wang Xiu took the Weibo ount and remembered.

    <i>I think I identally clicked on the wrong websitest time and downloaded it for no reason. However, I didn¡¯t repost this lucky draw Weibo post myself. Could it be that Bodhisattva is helping me? </i>

    Zhu¡¯er leaned over to take a look. ¡°Mommy, I yed with your phone.¡±

    Now the truth was out.

    After asking about some matters, the staff brought the mother and daughter into the hotel.

    When they arrived at the exquisitely decorated hotel, the mother and daughter pair¡¯s footsteps could not be lighter. Forget about staying, they had never seen such a beautiful room in their lives.

    What they did not know was that in a room in Beijing, an even more beautiful house that belonged to them was waiting for them.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m here!!¡± An Rao agreed to go to the recording with Xia Wanyuan and came to the manor after breakfast.

    In the living room, Xia Wanyuan was leaning on the sofa, waiting for the makeup artist to do her makeup. Not far away, Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao were discussing something by the window.

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s voice, Bo Xiao paused and looked at the door.

    Thest time she wore a T-shirt and jeans, An Rao was really not used to it. Now that she was going to be on the program, An Rao changed back to her favorite suspender short skirt.

    Her arc was vividly outlined.

    An Rao had also thought it through.<i> Anyway, with Jun Shiling¡¯s character, he wouldn¡¯t look at me much. Why should I avoid him? </i>

    Seeing An Rao¡¯s fiery look, Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow.

    The moment An Rao entered, she sensed Bo Xiao¡¯s gaze on her and frowned.

    <i>Hooligan! </i>

    <i>And he was even the hooligan who snatched my cutie!</i>

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you done packing yet?¡± An Rao leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be done soon.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Bo Xiao, then introduced him to An Rao. ¡°That¡¯s Bo Xiao. Do you know him?¡±

    ¡°I had the honor of meeting her once.¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes, looking like a yboy.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know him. I don¡¯t know him well.¡± An Rao had always been a straightforward person. She did not have a good impression of this person who looked unreliable and even snatched the little dumpling from her.

    <i>That adorable little dumpling!! I didn¡¯t even get to y with him! </i>

    An inexplicable smile hung on Bo Xiao¡¯s lips. ¡°Indeed, we¡¯re not very close. We¡¯ll be close in the future.¡±

    This was a familiar opening statement from a scum. An Rao rolled her eyes in her heart, then leaned towards Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°This is a dog man.¡±

    ¡°.......¡±

    Thinking of the scene where An Rao had run over to her with a shy expression to ask for her cute emoticon and was about to send it to her little disciple, Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao with a faint smile. She did not know what her expression would be when she knew the truth.

    An Rao¡¯s heart skipped a beat from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Sister, what are you looking at? We¡¯re going to bete for the recording. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. At that moment, the makeup artist had already finished putting on her makeup. Xia Wanyuan stood up and prepared to leave with An Rao.

    Jun Shiling, who was chatting with Bo Xiao, suddenly stood up, walked to Xia Wanyuan, and kissed her on the forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. The love in their eyes could be felt from afar.

    An Rao was speechless. It blinded her, the single dog.

    An Rao looked away and happened to meet Bo Xiao¡¯s smiling gaze. An Raompooned in her heart.

    <i>Although this man was a dog, he was still quite handsome. </i>

    <i>Why can¡¯t he be a human with such a good-looking face?</i>

    In the end, Jun Shiling was still worried and personally sent Xia Wanyuan to the production team.

    An Rao was so frightened that she was as quiet as a chicken the whole way.

    Jun Shiling finally left with his frightening aura. An Rao patted her ample chest. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really amazing. You can turn a tempered steel like CEO Jun into something soft.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao with much meaning. ¡°You will have such a day too.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t be stopped by a dog man.¡± An Rao was righteous and hadpletely forgotten who had been ying games with her little disciple with a red face these few days.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expose her. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±

    Other than the two permanent hosts, there were six other guests in the recording team for ¡°Endless Challenge¡±.

    When Xia Wanyuan and An Rao walked in, they saw a familiar figure.

    ¡°Is there something wrong with Lin Xuan¡¯s brain? Why is she following you no matter what you participate in? Is she your stalker?¡± An Rao was angry when she saw this white lotus b*tch.

    Not far away, Lin Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan unwillingly.

    Thepany had also realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s momentum was too fierce and they could not gain the upper hand at all. It was better to follow Xia Wanyuan and gain poprity.

    Anyway, everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan had a conflict. This was also a kind of focus.

    Hence, thepany spent a lot of money to send Lin Xuan into ¡°Endless Challenge¡±.

    Lin Xuan now knew that Xia Wanyuan was not someone to be trifled with. Compared to before, she was much more restrained.

    With three female celebrities, the production team also invited three male celebrities.

    One was the capable Best Actor Qin Cang, the other was the popr singer, Zhang Xingling, and the other had not appeared yet.

    Until the program was about to start, a figure with evil eyes and a casual smile slowly walked in from the door.

    Many people in the production team did not know who the guest was. Now that they saw this unfamiliar face, everyone was stunned.

    ¡°Director Wang, who is this person? Why haven¡¯t I seen him in the entertainment industry?¡±?<i>He was quite good-looking, but why did he look so evil??</i>

    ¡°About that.¡± Director Wang had an unfathomable expression. ¡°This is the viewership ratings plus the God of Fortune.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng slowly walked closer. The casual smile on his face dissipated, and his eyes carried a sincere smile.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng.

    Looking at the cold Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng felt that his thirty million dors investment was worth it.

    It was no big deal even if the program was criticized by those old farts in thepany after the broadcast.

    ¡°Sister, is this man interested in you?¡± An Rao looked at Xuan Sheng suspiciously. The look in this person¡¯s eyes was too obvious. It was simr to the way Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>F*ck?</i>, thinking of Jun Shiling, An Rao nced at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.

    <i>If Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng filming a program together, with Jun Shiling¡¯s character, wouldn¡¯t he flip the sky of Beijing??</i>

    Xuan Sheng smiled at Zhang Xingling, who was standing on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s right. ¡°Mr. Zhang, can you let me stand here?¡±

    Zhang Xingling¡¯s gaze shifted between Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng, then he took a step to the side. Xuan Sheng sessfully stood beside Xia Wanyuan.

    In the camera, Xuan Sheng could be seen beside Xia Wanyuan.

    The smile on Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips widened.

    In the eyes of the staff, Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng were live viewership ratings bombs. Hence, the program team put most of the cameras onto them.

    ¡°Let¡¯s split into groups first. Currently, there are four men and four women, so the group that I¡¯ve arranged for everyone is one group for the two hosts, one group for Lin Xuan and Zhang Xingling, one group for An Rao and Qin Cang, and one group for Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng. Everyone, get to know your group members first.¡±

    ¡°Director, I don¡¯t agree!¡± Just as Director Wang finished speaking, An Rao raised her hand.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Director Wang looked at An Rao suspiciously.<i>?Qin Cang was a veteran Best Actor. Other people could not even get this opportunity.?</i>

    ¡°I want to be with my good sister. Can I apply to change teams?¡± An Rao grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm.

    ¡°This¡­ ording to the rules¡­¡±

    ¡°Director, you¡¯re the best. My good sister and I are on such good terms that we can¡¯t be separated. You have to believe that women should be strong. If I team up with my sister, I can also get first ce. My sister is amazing. Really, I want to hug her thigh.¡±

    An Rao was good-looking. Not only did her coquettish and unreasonable pestering not make people hate her, but everyone was also amused.

    The director looked at An Rao helplessly and wanted to reject her tactfully.

    Xuan Sheng nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile.

    ¡°Director, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll change with her. We have to take care of beautiful women, right?¡± Xuan Sheng smiled at Xia Wanyuan. The earrings glistened under the sunlight.

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s change.¡± Since the sugar daddy had spoken, Director Wang did not say anything else.

    An Rao nced at Xuan Sheng, then pulled Xia Wanyuan to her seat and stood between Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng.

    She looked like an old mother protecting her child.

    Xuan Sheng touched the prayer beads on his wrist. Not only was he not angry, but he also smiled with his peach blossom-shaped eyes.

    Qin Cang greeted Xuan Sheng and saw the prayer beads on his wrist. ¡°CEO Xuan, you also believe in Buddha?¡±

    Xuan Sheng shook his head. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Qin Cang was silent.<i>?¡®If you don¡¯t believe in Buddha, why are you wearing Buddhist beads? I can¡¯t chat with you anymore.¡¯?</i>

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly, but the smile in his eyes disappeared.

    Buddha did not redeem me. What was there to believe?

    It was just a psychologicalfort.

    It¡¯s as if I would not look so unbearable and had the right to stand beside her, if I wore it.

    Variety programs like ¡°Endless Challenge¡± had always been focused on satisfying the curiosity of the audience, so the filming process was extremely confidential.

    Because they had signed a confidentiality agreement, before the program was broadcast, everyone was silent about the filming content.

    However, after a day of filming, the entire production team¡¯s impression of Xia Wanyuan changed greatly and they praised her in all sorts of ways.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Miss Xia to know so many things and have such good stamina.¡± After a day of high-intensity projects, the director who filmed felt tired, but Xia Wanyuan acted as if nothing had happened.

    Director Wang could not help but wonder if he was too old.?<i>Could it be that I should buy some ginseng soup to nourish myself tonight?</i>

    Director Wang looked at Lin Xuan, who was leaning against the wall and panting with a pale face not far away. He regained his confidence.

    It was not that they were weak, but Xia Wanyuan was too heaven-defying.

    Xuan Sheng walked over with a bottle of water and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Drink some water, Miss Xia.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the water and naturally ced it aside. She did not drink it. Xuan Sheng saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions and did not mind. His peach blossom-shaped eyes were smiling.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop filming for today. Thank you for your hard work, everyone. We¡¯ll gather at Beijing International Airport the day after tomorrow. We¡¯ll be filming the next episode in Continent O for two days. Remember to bring the relevant items.¡±

    After the director finished speaking, everyone began to pack up and prepare to go home.

    There was silence. After all, everyone was tired after a day.

    After a busy day, Jun Shiling did not pay attention to the specific guests in ¡°Endless Challenge¡±.

    He arrived a littlete and there were not many people at the entrance of the filming location. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao stood under the tree. Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s car had arrived, An Rao patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Sister, good luck.¡±

    An Rao did not want to be affected by the Asura Arena in a while. Seeing that Jun Shiling hade to pick Xia Wanyuan up, she got into her manager¡¯s car without worry and quickly fled the scene.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and Jun Shiling handed her a small cake. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten cake in half a month. You can eat some today.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not take the cake. Instead, she leaned closer and looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling liked the way Xia Wanyuan looked up at him the most.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with him, making him very happy.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak, so Jun Shiling simply hugged her on hisp. ¡°Do you want me to feed you?¡± Jun Shiling opened the cake box and prepared to feed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°The cake isn¡¯t sweet. I won¡¯t eat it.¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and missed the spoon.

    ¡°Then what do you want to eat?¡± Jun Shiling put down the cake in his hand with an excellent temper.

    ¡°You¡¯re sweeter.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°¡­¡± It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to take the initiative to flirt with him. Jun Shiling was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today?¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a day. I missed you.¡± Xia Wanyuan obediently rubbed herself against Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°You¡¯re so clingy.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, will you be fierce to me?¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck dependently and leaned into his ear.

    Jun Shiling felt as if he was going to explode from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. ¡°How could I be fierce to you?¡±

    ¡°Then promise me that you won¡¯t be fierce to me in the future.¡± Xia Wanyuan nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms like a kitten.

    Jun Shiling was losing his mind from lust. He wished he could rip his heart out for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll never be fierce to you.¡±

    ¡°Then you can¡¯t be angry with me as well.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed her luck.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling had no bottom line and was like a fatuous ruler.

    A victorious glint shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, then got off hisp and sat aside.

    She had already exercised for the entire afternoon and was hot and tired. It was even hotter when she was stuck to Jun Shiling.

    Feeling the wind blowing by the window, Xia Wanyuan fed herself a mouthful of cake.?<i>Mm, the cake was so sweet.?</i>

    <i>The cake was still sweeter.</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was surging with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise and coquettishness.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan left his arms so cleanly. There was no gentleness or coquettishness on her face at all.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling looked at his empty arms. ¡°Baby, is the cake delicious?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Jun Shiling had always known her taste. The cake that was specially customized was sweet but not greasy. It exuded a fragrance and was very delicious.

    ¡°Is it sweet?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s bitter gaze. She was amused. ¡°Not as sweet as you.¡±

    Satisfied, Jun Shiling reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan over, but she dodged him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t hug me. It¡¯s so hot.¡±

    Hence, under Jun Shiling¡¯s resentful gaze, Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor.

    After dinner that night, Lin Jing, who had been busy the entire day, finally sent an important message to his boss.

    Jun Shiling nced at his phone and his expression darkened.

    Xia Wanyuan had just finished showering when Jun Shiling switched off his phone and looked up. ¡°No wonder you¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped midway.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing the tight red dress that An Rao had insisted on her buying thest time she went shopping with An Rao.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely wore such bright colors. She was like a ball of fire that burned into Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    ¡°The variety show you filmed today.¡± Jun Shiling still remembered the information he had just seen.

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the bathroom door barefooted and reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°I don¡¯t want to wear shoes. Carry me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words died halfway again.

    ¡°Quick, the ground is cold,¡± Xia Wanyuan urged,pletely ignoring the fact that she was stepping on a carpet that was perpetually warm.

    Jun Shiling threw away his phone and stepped forward to pick Xia Wanyuan up and ce her on the nket.

    However, Jun Shiling still could not forget to calcte with Xia Wanyuan regarding the variety program. He turned to get his phone, but Xia Wanyuan reached out to pull his tie.

    Jun Shiling was already defenseless against Xia Wanyuan. Now that he had lost his bnce, he pounced on her.

    Everyone knew that An Rao had a hot figure, but Xia Wanyuan usually did not wear tight clothes, so only Jun Shiling knew how prideful her curves were.

    Now that the arc was right in front of him, Jun Shiling felt that a ball of fire hadpletely engulfed him.

    ¡°Beauty trap?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely hoarse.

    ¡°Hubby, I just ate candy.¡± Xia Wanyuan grinned.

    Her jade skinplemented her ck hair, exuding an astonishing beauty.

    ¡°So?¡± The veins on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm were bulging.

    ¡°I¡¯m very sweet now. Do you want to try?¡±

    By the time Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling had already lost all rationality.

    ¡°Wait, you have to hear me out first.¡± Xia Wanyuan blocked Jun Shiling¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Speak.¡± Jun Shiling squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

    ¡°I filmed a variety show with Xuan Sheng. I didn¡¯t know he was a guest. Don¡¯t be angry with me, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled gently.

    Jun Shiling nodded and wanted to continue.

    ¡°Second, ¡®Endless Challenge¡¯ will be filming in Continent O the day after tomorrow. It will take two days.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes guiltily.

    As expected, after Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling frowned and immediately wanted to get up. Xia Wanyuan hooked her leg around his. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll video call you every day, okay?¡±

    Under Jun Shiling¡¯s guidance these few days, Xia Wanyuan slowly learned how to make Jun Shilingpromise.

    For example, now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet were gently brushing against his leg.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s rationality shattered.

    At the edge of madness, Xia Wanyuan seized the opportunity. ¡°Promise me that you won¡¯t be angry with me.¡±

    With his teeth clenching tightly, Xia Wanyuan heard a suppressed ¡°Okay¡± as she had hoped.

    The night was long.

    Some people were med

    Others did not sleep the entire night.

    On a train driven from Beijing to a small city in the south, Wang Xiu hugged Zhu¡¯er. She still could not believe that all of this was real.

    Her family was from a southern vige, and her parents were both honest farmers. Back then, she had gone north to work and met Liu San. From then on, she had been drifting in the north, waking up early and workingte every day to support her family.

    After that, she had been sad too many times. She wanted to go home, but her daughter and Liu San were involved. To her, her hometown was only left with the jingle on her phone.

    Now, the few people sitting in front of her told her that she could have a house in her hometown. At first, she did not believe it, but she gradually saw theizens¡¯ments and the property certificate with her name printed on it.

    Only then did she believe that the female celebrity named Xia Wanyuan was the Bodhisattva sent by the heavens to save her.

    The street lights in her hometown gradually approached.

    In the sky, the morning sun was rising. The light of hope would descend on thisnd again.

    Wang Xiu held her daughter¡¯s hand with her left hand while her right hand tightly clenched the bank card in her pocket.

    The staff told her that small city houses were cheap. After buying her a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, there were two million dors left in the quota of five million dors. The two million dors was converted into cash and ced in her bank card as their savings.

    The staff in charge of giving out the award watched as the mother and daughter gradually walked to the ce where the sunlight shone. There were two white-haired elders waiting for their daughter while wiping their tears. They sighed in their hearts.

    ¡°This is the first time I feel like crying when I¡¯m giving an award.¡±

    ¡°Who isn¡¯t? I¡¯m not sour at all from giving such an award.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The filming process of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± could be kept secret, but it was difficult to cover up the guests no matter what. There were so many peopleing and going, and these guests were all familiar big shots. As long as one connected their schedules, one could guess that they had participated in the same program.

    The production team did not n to hide it forever. After knowing that a marketing ount obtained their program information, the director simply waved his hand.

    An official announcement!

    Then, just as everyone was caught off guard, the list of guests for ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was announced.

    Afterwards, everyone was stunned.

    As a veteran Best Actor, Qin Cang had not participated in variety programs for a long time. His appearance this time naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Everyone was even more interested in Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s participation.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was cold and An Rao was hot. No matter how they thought about it, no one could understand how these two had be good friends. Since they had this variety show, they could take a good look at the magical way the sisters interacted.

    The person who caused the most heated discussion was naturally the crown prince of Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng.

    Glory World Corporation could be said to be arge corporation that everyone in China knew.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, someone like Xuan Sheng should have casually bought an entire variety show, then crossed his legs and drank tea while watching a group of celebrities perform for him.

    No one would have thought that he would personally participate in the variety program.

    [ Ahem, have you forgotten? Xuan Sheng is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan. From the looks of this variety show, Xuan Sheng went for Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ The Crown Prince of Glory World is participating in variety shows for love and is only protecting the beauty or something. I love it so much. Which great person can write a novel like this? I can! ]

    [ No matter what, Xia Wanyuan is an actress. Xuan Sheng is the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. The difference between the two of them is too great. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is only an actress? As a grand master of Chinese arts, a professor at Qing University, you¡¯re telling me that she¡¯s only an actress? I¡¯ll take yourst name if you can find an even better woman at her age. ]

    The topic of Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng became more and more heated. Arge number of people instantly flooded into the CP chat ¡°The Great Summer Pact¡±.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The morning wind carried some moisture into the bedroom. Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± A gentle kissnded on her face.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to sit up, but her body was aching. She couldn¡¯t help but re at Jun Shiling. That was too much.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Who asked you to dress like thatst night?¡±

    It was like a ball of fire that burned him so much until he was going to explode.

    ¡°Help me put on my clothes.¡± Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes like azy Persian cat.

    ¡°Yes, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling put on a long-sleeved shirt and pants for Xia Wanyuan, barely covering the marks on her body.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, why do you always...¡± Xia Wanyuan looked down. There wererge traces of him sucking on the area covered by the clothes.

    ¡°I like it.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were deep.

    He liked to leave marks on her and watch her fair skin be stained with the marks he had made.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan rolled down her sleeves and tacitly agreed with Jun Shiling¡¯s hobby.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s indulgence, Jun Shiling smiled.

    The servants in the manor were alreadypletely adapted to the love between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. They could stand by the dining table without a change in expression and watch Jun Shiling feed Xia Wanyuan.

    Uncle Wang watered the flowers in the garden and looked at the loving couple in the house. He smiled and shook his head.

    <i>Now, this manor was finally alive. </i>

    The morning sun gradually rose and scattered the light.

    In the quiet forest outside Beijing, a group of birds suddenly flew up.

    ¡°Master, China is even more strict than we thought. We lost three informants this time. They were all nails that had been buried for a long time. They were all taken away this time.¡±

    There were a few people sitting in a simple bamboo shed. They looked at the person on the main seat respectfully and fearfully.

    The person they called Lord was wearing a simple white shirt and had a gentle and elegant temperament. ¡°Then let them catch them. They won¡¯t live for long anyway.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s hearts skipped a beat. <i>That¡¯s right, they had also been imnted with chips. So what if they were captured? In the end, they would not reveal anything to others. Before they could, they would already self-destruct. </i>

    ¡°Have you found out?¡± The elegant man looked at his subordinate on the right.

    Even though he was being looked at with such a gentle gaze, the subordinate¡¯s forehead was sweating. ¡°There has always been an invisible resistance protecting Xia Wanyuan. We basically can¡¯t get close to her. Furthermore, Beijing is tightly controlled, so it¡¯s very difficult for us to obtain information.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± The gentle man smiled and moved his hand. The man who was speaking just now suddenly vomited blood and fell to the side of the table with his eyes open without even managing to blink.

    ¡°Can you find out?¡± The man smiled and nced at the others with a gentle gaze.

    ¡°Definitely.¡± The remaining few people maintained theirposure, but their palms were already cold.

    ¡°Three days.¡± The man stood up, tidied his sleeves, and left the bamboo shed.

    Xia Wanyuan was more curious. Jun Shiling did not seem to be angry at all today. It was as if he did not see that her and Xuan Sheng¡¯s CP had been hyped up on the Inte.

    <i>Was a honey trap that effective? </i>

    Xia Wanyuan was going to Continent O to film a variety show tomorrow. There was no activity today, and it was Saturday. There were no sses at Qing University, so Jun Shiling brought her to thepany.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned over Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and happened to see her and Xuan Sheng¡¯s CP chat on the screen.

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile. ¡°Why are you looking at this?¡±

    ¡°Nothing, I was just looking.¡± Jun Shiling did not look angry. He switched off his phone. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t understand a proposal just now? Let me exin it to you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not suspect anything and was led to the sofa by Jun Shiling.

    At the same time, Weibopletely copsed.

    In the eyes of the Weibo programmer, the words Jun Shiling were like divine water for hair loss.

    As long as Jun Shiling¡¯s name appeared, Weibo would explode, and the programmer would have to work overtime.

    The reason for the explosion was¡­

    Jun Shiling created his Weibo ount.

    Theizens on Weibo had urged him for more than eight hundred years but Jun Shiling had not appeared. This time, they were caught off guard. A Weibo ount that was certified as the ¡°Master of the Jun family¡± quietly appeared in front of everyone.

    At first, no one realized it, but the official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation tagged this ount and announced to theizens. Instantly, arge number of people swarmed into Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo and exploded.

    The nickname ¡®Jun Shiling¡¯ had already been bought back at a high price.

    There was only one Weibo post under the ount with the simple words ¡°Jun Shiling¡±.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°Xia.¡±

    The apanying picture was a close-up of a green leaf. Behind the green leaf was a blue sky and white clouds. The sunlight shone through the leaves, reflecting traces of brightness, and it smelled like summer.

    [ AHHHHH! Hubby, I¡¯ming!!!]

    [ Hubby, look at me! I¡¯ve finally waited for you! ]

    [ Wow, how beautiful!! My husband even took such a beautiful photo! Amazing! ]

    [ I originally thought that my husband was very cold, but I didn¡¯t expect that my husband was someone who liked to share life. What kind of perfect and domineering CEO likes to share life and love! Amazing. ]

    In just an hour, the number of followers on Jun Shiling¡¯s ount had soared to five million. His only Weibo post had been reposted andmented nearly a million times.

    Such poprity instantly covered all the other topics on Weibo. Among the top ten topics on Weibo, ¡°Jun Shiling opened Weibo¡±, ¡°Jun Shiling Xia¡±, ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s photo¡±, ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s richest man¡± upied seven topics, squeezing out all the other topics, and all the focus was on Jun Shiling.

    Including the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± CP who had just been enthusiastically discussed by everyone, waspletely forgotten about.

    In the hyperbole of ¡°Sovereign Summer¡±,

    Everyone looked at the first Weibo post ¡°Xia¡± quietly. The fireworks in their hearts had already exploded.

    [ F*ck, if these two are real, what kind of beautiful love legend is this? F*ck! ]

    [ Does CEO Jun look like someone who likes to share life? I¡¯m confused by this Xia. ]

    [ Although I¡¯m a CP fan, I still feel that this is just our beautiful hypothesis. But why do I feel that there¡¯s something wrong with this Weibo post? ]

    [ Can you guys do it? Didn¡¯t we already agree? Acting cute on the spot. CEO Jun is someone with a child. Don¡¯t go overboard. ]

    Hence, under the persuasion of rational fans, the fans who had already touched a little of the truth silently retracted their tentacles to explore the truth.

    It took Xia Wanyuan a long time to see the situation on Weibo. She looked at Jun Shiling, who was reading documents seriously not far away, amused.

    Although this person was not angry with her, he still cared about this.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while, took a brush from the side, leaned on the sofa, and seriously drew for two hours.

    By the time it was lunchtime, Xia Wanyuan had already finished painting.

    Jun Shiling switched off hisputer and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What are you painting?¡±

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan and looked. On the drawing board was the side view of a man in a white shirt.

    The man was reading the book in his hand seriously. He had gold-rimmed sses on his eyes, and his cold and elegant aura matched, forming a strange bnce.

    At the bottom of the portrait, there were two words: ¡°modest gentleman.¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°Who else can it be other than you?¡± Xia Wanyuan posted the picture on Weibo and the inte.

    Instantly, this ¡°modest gentleman¡± became the wallpaper of many people.

    Everyone praised Xia Wanyuan for her excellent painting skills. Only a small number of fans of ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± looked at the cold side profile on the paper and the words ¡°modest gentleman¡±.

    They fell silent.

    Fans of ¡°Sovereign Summer¡±: <i>It¡¯s not that I want to eat candy, it¡¯s the main character who pressed my head and forced me to kowtow. </i>

    However, this was only a small portion of the CP fans¡¯ thoughts. Most people would not associate Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting with Jun Shiling. After all, Xia Wanyuan had done some artistic processing when she drew the portrait. If one did not deliberately look at it, no one would think that the man in the painting was Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling, who had been secretly showing off his love to the world, was in a very good mood.

    He could not post on his main ount, so Jun Shiling secretly showed off his love on his alternate ount.

    @ Jun Shiling111111111: ¡°My wife drew me a painting today. I¡¯m happy.¡±

    Now that the ountbelled as the number one anti-fan of the three fan groups had posted, it attracted more attention than many Weibo big ounts. The fans heard the news and moved.

    [ Are you crazy?? Brother, your hysteria hasn¡¯t recovered yet? ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. Can you be more shameless? CP fans are indeed creatures with problematic brains. What has our Yuan Yuan painting got to do with you? ]

    [ What is the person in front saying? Our family has already hung him up, okay? He¡¯s not even a CP fan. Can you not kill everyone with one hit? ]

    [ So what if I hit you? Youe out to disgust people every day, but you don¡¯t let me hit you? Our Yuan Yuan is the only beauty. ]

    The fans in thements sessfully fought again.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling intently and couldn¡¯t help but lean over to take a look. However, Jun Shiling switched off his phone and ced it aside.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°What can¡¯t I see?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll know in the future.¡± Jun Shiling looked unfathomable.

    Xia Wanyuan did not probe further and handed three documents to Jun Shiling. ¡°Help me look at them. Which is better?¡±

    Jun Shiling took it and looked at it. Three movie invitations.

    One was the second female lead in a big production, one was the first female lead in an ancient costume, and the other was a tragic spy theme.

    Jun Shiling nced at it and picked the third one.

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. It was the same as what she had chosen.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home. What does our future movie queen want to eat tonight?¡± Jun Shiling looked at the time and prepared to bring Xia Wanyuan home.

    ¡°I want to eat hotpot...¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed her luck.

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling subconsciously wanted to reject, but Xia Wanyuan looked at him expectantly. He could only nod helplessly. ¡°Okay, but you can¡¯t eat too much.¡±

    ¡°Auntie Han, I haven¡¯t contacted Sister Yuan Yuan in a long time. What dare you trying to do now?¡±

    In the Lin family¡¯s vi, Lin Qi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and looked at Han Yuan impatiently.

    He had been abroad for many years. He did not know where Han Yuan had gotten the news that he had returned to China. He had not even been home for three minutes when Han Yuan came looking for him.

    ¡°Young Master Lin, although I¡¯m a stepmother, I¡¯ve watched Yuan Yuan grow up. I don¡¯t care if she doesn¡¯t like me, but she¡¯s Old Xia¡¯s daughter after all. I can¡¯t ignore her happiness.¡±

    Han Yuan sighed and looked at Lin Qi¡¯s expression.

    <i>Didn¡¯t they say that this Young Master Lin was a yboy? Why didn¡¯t he seem interested? </i>

    Lin Qi had heard from Han Yuan that Xia Wanyuan could not forget her old feelings for him. She missed him day and night, and the only thing that appeared in his mind was the image of that arrogant little gangster from junior high.

    He was really not interested in such a woman liking him.

    ¡°Young Master Lin, you don¡¯t know how much Yuan Yuan has changed. Ever since you rejected her confession and went abroad, Yuan Yuan has been studying hard and carefully honing her acting skills. She¡¯s a big star now, and she¡¯s also the youngest professor in the Qing University history.¡±

    ¡°Qing University professor?¡± Lin Qi rolled his eyes. <i>Aren¡¯t all women who study well wearing thick brick-like sses and a pair of steel teeth? What¡¯s so good about them?</i> He couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to Han Yuan¡¯s nonsense anymore. ¡°Auntie Han, you can help yourself. I¡¯m going upstairs.¡±

    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t go. Let me show you a video. You¡¯ll know what Yuan Yuan looks like now.¡± Han Yuan switched on her phone. On it was a video of Xia Wanyuan walking the red carpet.

    Lin Qi nced at it impatiently and paused.

    The woman in the video had fair skin and jade bones. She came in a gxy-like outfit, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

    Han Yuan looked at Lin Qi¡¯s eyes and knew that this matter had seeded.

    <i>Which man did not love beauty?</i>

    <i>This Xia Wanyuan was lucky to have a good appearance.</i>

    ¡°Aunt Han, is this Sister Yuan Yuan?¡± Lin Qi could not help but ask. This did not match the image of the woman in his memory.

    ¡°Of course. She¡¯ll be very happy to know that you¡¯re back.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Lin Qi was interested. ¡°Do you have her contact information? It¡¯s been a long time. Let me treat her to a meal?¡±

    ¡°She changed her number after bing a celebrity.¡± Han Yuan smiled unnaturally.<i> How could I have that woman¡¯s contact number? </i>¡°However, next week is her father¡¯s fiftieth birthday. She¡¯ll definitely go home. You¡¯ll be able to see her then.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Auntie Han.¡± Lin Qi took out his phone and searched for news of Xia Wanyuan.. The more he looked at her, the more interested he became.

    Han Yuan watched as the smile on Lin Qi¡¯s face grew wider and her eyes shed with victory.

    The Lin family and the Xia family had a good rtionship many years ago, but they gradually distanced themselves. When Xia Wanyuan and Lin Qi were young, they attended the same school.

    She had asked someone to investigate. Xia Wanyuan had confessed to the young master of the Lin family back then, but she had been rejected. Later on, Lin Qi went abroad.

    Over the years, other than marrying Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan had never dated anyone.

    Han Yuan thought that it was impossible for Jun Shiling to fancy someone like Xia Wanyuan.

    If a lonely and empty woman met someone she liked when she was young and this person happened to turn around to pursue her, one could imagine what would happen.

    At that time, she did not believe that the Jun family would not abandon her. Even if it was a position with no real name, they would probably not let her sit there anymore.

    Until now, Han Yuan felt that Xia Wanyuan could take away the Xia family¡¯spany because of the Jun family behind her.

    When she lost what she relied on, Han Yuan felt that the Xia family could still be taken back easily.

    When Han Yuan returned home, Xia Yuanqing was coaxing the child on the cradle. There was warm food on the table.

    ¡°You¡¯re back? There¡¯s food on the table. Eat some.¡± Xia Yuanqing looked helplessly at Han Yuan, who did not care about the child and only cared about ying outside. In the end, he sighed in his heart.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Han Yuan walked to the table and sat down. The fragrance of the dishes pounced on her, and Han Yuan felt her stomach churn. Han Yuan covered her mouth with her hand and hurriedly ran to the bathroom to vomit.

    Behind her, Xia Yuanqing looked at Han Yuan¡¯s back with suspicion.

    On the spacious sofa in the apartment, An Rao crossed her legs. One moment, she was opening the interface of the domineering CEO novel, the next moment, she was watching television dramas, and afterwards, she was listening to songs.

    After a while, An Rao threw her phone aside. ¡°Little liar, we agreed to go online at eight o¡¯clock. I¡¯ve already waited for ten minutes and you¡¯re still not here.¡±

    After a while, An Rao picked up the phone she had thrown out and opened the WeChat interface. There was still no new message.

    An Rao felt a little disappointed.

    <i>Does Little Disciple think that I¡¯m too lousy and doesn¡¯t want to y with me anymore??</i>

    <i>Or did my little disciple think that I¡¯m too ugly ying Old Lian??</i>

    An Rao thought for a while.?<i>If my little disciple replied to my message now, I would promise to send less in the future.?</i>

    Five minutester, An Rao thought that if he called back now, she would not y Old Lian Po anymore and y a beautiful support. She heard that men liked this support.

    Ten minutester, An Rao supported her chin.<i>?If he replied now, I would give my little disciple a full set of skin!?</i>

    Two hours passed, but there was still no response. An Rao threw her phone aside. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep!¡±

    <i>Isn¡¯t he just aizen!?</i>

    <i>I am so rich. I can find myself more than ten to twenty substitute trainers tomorrow. Who wanted him to bring me King??</i>

    Although she said this, An Rao felt a little sad.

    She had never had many friends. Xia Wanyuan was the only good friend she had in so many years. However, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had a good rtionship, so she couldn¡¯t pester Xia Wanyuan to y with her every day.

    She could tell at a nce that those stinky men who were chasing her had dirty thoughts in their heads. She could not be bothered to argue with them.

    This was the first time someone did not mind her scam and was patient enough to y with her every day.

    An Rao covered her head with the nket and shouted angrily, ¡°Hmph, dog men. As expected, none of them are reliable.¡±

    It waste at night, but the person who should have fallen asleep suddenly lifted the nket.. Her eyes were red.

    An Rao, who had always had a good sleep quality, had sessfully suffered from insomnia this time.

    It waste at night. She wanted to call Xia Wanyuan, but thinking of Jun Shiling¡¯s face, she decided to forget it.

    At that moment, a WeChat call came from the living room.

    An Rao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She lifted the nket and ran out to pick up her phone.

    Caller ¨C Xiao

    An Rao, who had been looking forward to a call at night, felt very wronged when she saw the caller ID.

    <i>Tsk, who wants to answer your call? </i>

    An Rao wanted to throw her phone back onto the sofa, but after standing for a while, she finally pressed the answer button.

    ¡°What?¡± An Rao was so angry that she could not even be bothered to maintain the gentle image she usually pretended to have.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± A man¡¯s maic voice came from the phone.

    Her little disciple¡¯s voice always had a smiling tone to it. Today, he suddenly said ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± so seriously, which stunned An Rao.

    ¡°I¡¯m abroad now and have an urgent mission. I just came back. I didn¡¯t mean to miss the appointment. Don¡¯t be angry.¡±

    On the other end of the line, Bo Xiao was lying on a chair. The doctor beside him was taking the bullet from his arm. Although he had been anesthetized, the dose was not high. The pain of his bone being cut made Bo Xiao frown.

    An Rao was originally angry and aggrieved by her little disciple¡¯s serious apology, but now, she did not know what to say.

    ¡°I made you wait so long. Are you tired?¡± Seeing that An Rao did not speak, Bo Xiao asked again.

    When these words fell into An Rao¡¯s ears, it was as if she had been waiting for her little disciple all night. An Rao could not take it anymore<i>. I am the peerless An Rao! How could I wait for aizen?! </i>

    ¡°I... I didn¡¯t wait for you. I found a substitute to y with me,¡± An Rao stammered.

    ¡°Substitute?¡± Bo Xiao sneered. ¡°What substitute¡±

    ¡°His skills are especially good. He¡¯s the country¡¯s Li Bai. He led me on a winning streak and even knows how to chat.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes, which had always been smiling, turned cold. ¡°What did you talk about?¡±

    ¡°We were just chatting.¡± An Rao could not make it up.

    At that moment, Bo Xiao, who had used another phone to flip through An Rao¡¯s results, the coldness in his eyes subsided and he began to tease An Rao.

    ¡°If you talked so happily, did he tell you what he does in reality?¡±

    ¡°Of course! He¡¯s a soldier!! And he¡¯s a super youngpanymander! He¡¯s especially amazing!¡± Thinking of those handsome soldiers she had met earlyst year when she went to look at the g, An Rao spoke carelessly.

    ¡°Soldier?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes narrowed again. ¡°You like soldiers?¡±

    ¡°Of course! How handsome! Unlike you.¡± An Rao resolutely did not want her little disciple to see that she had waited for him for the entire night. She stubbornly praised ¡°the handsome officer who yed games with her the entire night, the national server Li Bai¡±.

    ¡°Me? What about me?¡± There was a smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s tone, but his hand suddenly clenched. At this moment, the doctor beside Bo Xiao had alreadypleted the relevant treatment and was doing the final bullet extraction work. The pain of the separation of flesh and blood was not something that an ordinary person could endure.

    ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re so out of tune.¡± An Rao sat cross-legged on the sofa and heard a sound like fireworks exploding on the other end of the line. ¡°Are they still putting on fireworks sote at night on your side?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao looked up at the city that was filled with artillery not far away. ¡°There are some ces holding a celebration.¡±

    ¡°Alright, then rest early.¡± Knowing that her little disciple did not think that she was a scam and abandoned her, An Rao was relieved.

    ¡°Can you chat with me for a while?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s right hand was already sweating.

    He... was in a little pain.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    An Rao chatted with Bo Xiao for a while before she finally felt sleepy and could not help but yawn a few times.

    ¡°Go and sleep if you¡¯re tired.¡± At that moment, the wound on Bo Xiao¡¯s body had been bandaged.

    ¡°Okay, are you still working?¡± An Rao was suddenly curious about Bo Xiao¡¯s work. ¡°What do you do?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say? I don¡¯t do jobs.¡±

    An Rao pursed her lips. ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to say it.¡±

    ¡°Go to sleep. Goodnight, I¡¯ll let you know in the future.¡± Her little disciple was very gentle tonight.

    ¡°Alright, good night. Then can you y games with me tomorrow?¡± An Rao was afraid that her little disciple would not apany her again tomorrow.

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    After receiving her little disciple¡¯s affirmative answer, An Rao went to sleep with satisfaction.

    Under the exotic sky, Bo Xiao nced at the wallpaper on his phone and smiled.

    ¡°You actually like soldiers.¡±

    Hearing from Jun Shiling that Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were going to Continent O to participate in the program recording, Bo Xiao thought for a moment and called.

    ¡°Hello, Major General Bo!¡±

    ¡°Hello, please ept Continent O¡¯s Special Training Camp for me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back in two days after filming. I¡¯ll call you tonight. Don¡¯t have this expression. Smile, CEO Jun. You look especially good when you smile.¡±

    He had promised Xia Wanyuan that he would not be angry, but the journey back and forth, together with the filming, would take at least three days for Xia Wanyuan to return. Jun Shiling felt that it was simply unbearable, and he could not smile no matter what.

    ¡°Come back early.¡± Jun Shiling was unwilling.

    ¡°Mm, don¡¯t worry.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek, then pulled open the car door and walked out.

    Jun Shiling suddenly felt bleak at home.

    ¡°Sister!!¡± In the airport, An Rao saw Xia Wanyuane and hurriedly waved at her. Xuan Sheng sat beside An Rao. Seeing Xia Wanyuan arrive, his eyes lit up.

    An Rao yed the role of an old mother who protected her children very professionally. She pulled Xia Wanyuan to a seat far away from Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep the entire night? Why are your dark circles so heavy?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao, who looked like a panda after taking off her sses, and asked curiously.

    ¡°Stop talking. It¡¯s all tears.¡± An Rao was not guarded against Xia Wanyuan and told her everything about her and her little disciple.

    Xia Wanyuan listened perfunctorily. Seeing An Rao¡¯s uneasy expression, she knew that Bo Xiao was basically confident.

    Soon, it was time to board the ne. The production team boarded the ne to Continent O.

    Although the journey was long, An Rao was talkative. It was not boring to talk to Xia Wanyuan all the way.

    More than ten hourster, the ne finallynded. Xia Wanyuan had just switched on her phone when many WeChat messages popped up.

    Jun Shiling: ¡°I miss you.¡±

    ¡°I miss you.¡±

    ¡°I miss you very much.¡±

    ......

    The first message was sent at nine in the morning.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan had only left for less than an hour.

    Xia Wanyuan helplessly sent a string of ellipses over. Jun Shiling should be in a meeting and didn¡¯t reply immediately, so Xia Wanyuan switched off her phone.

    The filming location for the production team this time was in a city in the north of Continent O. There were snow mountains that did not melt all year round here. Even in summer, the temperature was very cool.

    It was already night time when the day arrived. The production team ate together and everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

    Xia Wanyuan calcted the time. It should be lunchtime in China now, so she prepared to call Jun Shiling. Before she could call, Jun Shiling had already called.

    ¡°Are you going to sleep?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Alright, go to sleep. I¡¯ll tell you what I did today.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After a day of flight, Xia Wanyuan was tired andy on the bed. On the phone, Jun Shiling told Xia Wanyuan one by one about who he had met, what meeting he had held, and what they had discussed at the meeting.

    Gradually, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice became softer and softer.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep.

    In the office, Jun Shiling looked at the sun outside the window.. <i>The days pass really slowly. </i>

    In a certain residential building in Beijing, the rich fragrance of pork ribs stewed with corn floated in the air. In the pool beside the stove, fresh carps were raised. The sound of dumpling on the chopping board could be heard non-stop. Not long after, the rich fragrance of sausages filled the entire house.

    ¡°Old Li, go and take a look. Is he back?¡±

    ¡°Soon, soon.¡± An old man¡¯s voice came from the balcony. ¡°I just saw his caring. He probably went to park the car.¡±

    Just as Old Master Li finished speaking, footsteps came from the door.

    ¡°Grandpa.¡± Li Yi walked in with bags of health supplements and slippers.

    ¡°Hey, my good grandson is here.¡± Old Master Li hurriedly walked in from the balcony. ¡°Your grandma is making delicious food for you.¡±

    ¡°Grandma.¡± Li Yi called out to the kitchen.

    ¡°Hey, good grandson, y with your grandfather for a while. I¡¯ll be done soon. Just wait for the good food.¡±

    Li Yi put down the food. There were bags of fruits and snacks on the table. They were all his favorites.

    Li Yi had been mocked and ridiculed everywhere he went these days. His eyes ached when he saw what his grandparents had prepared.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Good boy, you¡¯ve worked hard. Keep working hard next time.¡± As if knowing what his grandson was thinking, Old Master Li patted Li Yi¡¯s shoulder. In order to distract his grandson, Old Master Li dragged out the chessboard. ¡°Come, let¡¯s y. Your grandmother is stewing pork ribs for you. It will probably take a while, so let¡¯s y slowly.¡±

    The grandfather and grandson sat on the sofa and slowly yed chess.

    Unknowingly, Old Master Li had been cornered by Li Yi.

    Li Yi looked at the chessboard and was about to stop. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s a draw.¡±

    Unexpectedly, Old Master Li stopped him. ¡°No, look at me.¡±

    With that, Old Master Li ced a chess piece in a position that Li Yi did not expect. The entire game instantly came to life.

    ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Li Yi was amazed by his grandfather¡¯s move.

    ¡°How so? I didn¡¯t think of this move. Thest time I yed chess with Old Wang in the alley, we also encountered such a dead end. We all thought that we couldn¡¯t continue anymore. An especially good-looking youngdy helped us. Didn¡¯t this move save the game?¡±

    Li Yi was shocked by the old man¡¯s words.<i>?If this method was not idental, then it must be advanced chess skills.</i>

    ¡°Grandpa, do you know that person?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The old man shook his head. Li Yi clenched the chess pieces in his hand in disappointment.

    ¡°However, thatdy seems to be a celebrity who attended the poetry meet. Your grandmother likes her.¡± Old Master Li called out to the olddy in the kitchen. ¡°Old Madam, what¡¯s the name of the little girl you like?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡± Hearing her old man mention this, the olddy walked out with a knife. There was still red oil on the knife after the sausage was cut. ¡°My good grandson, let me tell you. That girl is especially good looking. She¡¯s generous and polite. Aiyo, in the future, you have to look for a wife like this.¡±

    ¡°Hey, olddy, we¡¯re talking about serious matters. Why are you saying this?¡± Before Li Yi could speak, Old Master Li scolded his olddy. ¡°Your grandmother is like this.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan?¡± Li Yi had never paid attention to the entertainment industry and was focused on chess. Hence, he was not familiar with this name. However, since she could revive a game of dead chess, Li Yi still remembered her name.

    In the meeting room in Continent M, thewyer confirmed with the man sitting in front again.

    ¡°Mr. Blue, please confirm for thest time. If there¡¯s no mistake, please sign on it. After signing, this will will have a legal effect.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure.¡± The man in the seat nodded. He had been tortured by his illness all year round, but he could not hide the heroic spirit in his eyes.

    ¡°Okay, please sign.¡± The pen was handed over.

    The man took the pen and signed his name with a slight tremble.

    After the notary team and thewyer left, the young boy standing behind the man stepped forward to take the wheelchair and pushed the man out. ¡°Mr. Blue, Continent M is a mess. Didn¡¯t you not want her to get involved in the past?¡±

    ¡°I saw the information you gave me. She¡¯s such a good child. If she wants it and dares to ask for it, I¡¯ll leave all of it to her. If she doesn¡¯t want it, I won¡¯t force her.¡±

    ¡°Mr. Blue, you¡¯ve put in a lot of effort.¡± Fang Jin sighed in his heart. The cold-blooded and heartless Mr. Blue in the eyes of outsiders also had such a gentle side that was considerate for someone else in every way possible.

    ¡°Fang Jin, I saw the previous information. Does she have a performance during Chinese New Year?¡±

    After the day of filming, An Rao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and returned to the hotel. Her eyes were filled with admiration for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister!! You¡¯re too cool!! Why do you know everything?!¡±

    Facing An Rao¡¯s starry eyes, Xia Wanyuan was unmoved. She did not think that it was especially amazing. It was just some very ordinary skills.

    An Rao chattered beside Xia Wanyuan and asked questions, not noticing that she had bumped into someone.

    ¡°Ah, sorry.¡± An Rao hurriedly apologized.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± A smiling voice sounded. An Rao looked up.

    It was the dog man who had snatched the cutie from her.

    Bo Xiao nodded at Xia Wanyuan, then looked at An Rao.

    An Rao was still brooding over the fact that Bo Xiao had taken the little dumpling away. Furthermore, with Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes, he looked at people with an evil aura. An Rao felt ufortable all over.

    Bo Xiao did not look like the frivolous child she had seen on that first day. He was wearing an exquisite ck shirt and had a decent smile on his exquisite face, looking a little like a noble son.

    However, An Raopletely ignored him and pursed her lips.

    <i>Tsk, this woman is really angry. </i>Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up as he recalled the previous incident.

    ¡°Are you staying in this hotel?¡± Bo Xiao asked knowingly.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Bo Xiao reached out to take the fruit bag An Rao was holding. ¡°Let me send you up.¡±

    With someone carrying her things, An Rao was happy to be idle.

    In the elevator, the three of them did not speak. When they were in the middle of their walk, Bo Xiao received a call. After sending Xia Wanyuan and the rest to the door of the room, Bo Xiao hurriedly left.

    After Bo Xiao left, An Rao¡¯s expression seemed to have turned bad. Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    [fuzzy]An Rao hesitated and asked tentatively, ¡°Is that man very close to CEO Jun?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    An Rao frowned with much conflict and waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll go in first.¡±

    After entering the house, An Rao still felt ufortable.

    When Bo Xiao was answering the call in the elevator just now, she saw her photo on his phone!

    He actually used her photo as a wallpaper.

    <i>This man is not only a dog! He¡¯s also lecherous!</i>

    Bo Xiao had meticulously dressed up for an hour and waited in the hotel building, thinking that he could make a good impression.

    In the end, Bo Xiao had another huge red cross in An Rao¡¯s heart.

    Jun Shiling had returned to working overtime every day over the past few days. The boss worked overtime for meetings, and the ordinary employees could get off work on time, but the executives had to apany him.

    Although the overtime pay given by the Jun Corporation was really generous, everyone was trembling in fear when they saw Jun Shiling¡¯s King of Hell-like face.

    It was already ten o¡¯clock at night after the meeting.

    Jun Shiling finally announced that he was getting off work. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, packed up their documents, and walked out.

    The door of the meeting room opened and everyone met an extremely beautiful woman.

    This woman was extremely polite and smiled gently at everyone.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. Is the meeting over? Thank you for your hard work.¡± She looked like the mistress of the house.

    Everyone was shocked.<i> This behavior and tone... Could this be thedy boss?!!! </i>

    However, after all, they had achieved the position of a high manager of the Jun Corporation. Although everyone guessed it in their hearts, no one dared to make a sound. After all, if they addressed her wrongly, then this matter would be huge.

    Jun Shiling walked out at that moment.

    Everyone left the spot in unison and pretended not to see anything, but their ears were fixed on themotion behind them.

    ¡°Grandpa asked me to ask you if you want to go back for dinner tomorrow weekend?¡±

    ?????????

    !!!!!!!!

    Everyone was shocked. <i>It was really thedy boss!! Oh my god! Thedy boss hade to thepany so many times but she was always dressed up tightly. </i>

    <i>I finally saw her in person! She¡¯s so beautiful! </i>

    Everyone still wanted to hear what happened next, but they had already walked far away and could not hear what Jun Shiling and this woman were saying.

    At the entrance of the meeting room, Jun Shiling slowly frowned.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Seemingly hurt that Jun Shiling did not know her, a look of disappointment appeared on the woman¡¯s face.

    However, very quickly, she smiled warmly again. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m the granddaughter of Grandpa Jun¡¯srade. My name is Wan Rou. My grandfather passed away, and Grandpa Jun asked me toe. You sent a car to pick me up.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling recalled that Old Master Jun had served in the army when he was young and had a group ofrades from all over the world.

    A few days ago, Old Master had mentioned that arade had passed away, leaving behind an adopted granddaughter who was alone and helpless. Thatrade had fought alongside Old Master when he was young. This time, he had personally written a letter and asked Old Master Jun to help arrange some support for his granddaughter. Naturally, Old Master Jun agreed.

    After Old Master told Jun Shiling about this, Jun Shiling sent a chauffeur to pick her up.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and walked to the office.

    When Jun Shiling came out after packing his things,

    It was already half an hourter.

    Wan Rou sat on the sofa with her long ck hair draped over her shoulders. When she saw Jun Shilinge out, she grinned widely.

    Under the warm white light, the beauty was like jade and she seemed very gentle. No man could resist such a scene.

    However, Jun Shiling only nced at her without any change in his eyes.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Grandpa¡¯s chauffeur went back first. Can I go with you? If it¡¯s not convenient, I¡¯ll take a taxi back myself.¡± Wan Rou¡¯s voice was gentle and had the gracefulness of a woman from Jiangnan.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The old master¡¯srade did not have much of a rtionship with him, but she was the granddaughter of hisrade. He could not let her take a taxi back in the middle of the night.

    Jun Shiling walked in front while Wan Rou followed behind him. She was quiet and obedient.

    It was already eleven o¡¯clock at night, and the bustling city began to quieten down. There were only a few cars outside the Jun Corporation building.

    The two of them walked downstairs together and waited for the car.

    In a 24-hour convenience store not far away, someone zoomed in through the gap between the shelves and captured in the figures of the two peoplepletely.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s private car slowly drove over. The chauffeur opened the door and Jun Shiling sat in. Wan Rou wanted to follow him in.

    ¡°Take the car in the back. Someone will send you back.¡±

    <i>Only Xia Wanyuan had the right to sit in this car. </i>

    ¡°Okay,¡± Wan Rou was not angry. She replied gently and walked to the car behind.

    The two cars drove in different directions. Through the window, Wan Rou saw the car leaving in front and a smile shed across her eyes.

    She would never have dreamed that her unassuming grandfather, who had been a worker all his life, would know the head of the Jun Corporation.

    She could actually touch the most powerful ss in this country from the bottom.

    Furthermore, she did not expect that the head of the Jun Corporation would be such an outstanding man. She had never seen anyone with such an aura and appearance.

    When she returned to the manor, Old Master Jun was taking a breather in the courtyard. Seeing Wan Rou return, he asked, ¡°Has your matter been resolved?¡±

    Wan Rou¡¯s grandfather had been a worker quietly his entire life. Even until his death, no one knew that he had made many military achievements.

    Other than finding a ce to settle down, Wan Rou also wanted to apply for an honorary spot for her grandfather.

    Old Master Jun had already retired. Old Master Wan was already gone, and those military achievements were decades ago. It was not easy to report them. Wan Rou said that she wanted to ask Jun Shiling.

    Old Master Jun didn¡¯t know that Xia Wanyuan had gone on a business trip. Thinking that since Xia Wanyuan was with Jun Shiling, it was nothing much for Wan Rou to go and do something, so he got the chauffeur to send Wan Rou to the Jun Corporation.

    Who would have thought that she would be gone for so long?

    ¡°Grandpa, CEO Jun has been busy today. I didn¡¯t want to trouble him. I¡¯ll talk to him when he¡¯s not busy anymore. Although it¡¯s summer, it¡¯s still windy at night. Grandpa, you should go back to your room and rest early.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Old Master Jun nodded. This Wan Rou knew her manners and knew when to advance and when to retreat. She was a good girl. Old Master Jun wanted to find a good family for her in the Jun family branch.

    Then, he would arrange a good job for this youngdy. In this way, hisrades¡¯ souls would be able to rest in peace. He would not mistreat the only child left behind by hisrade.

    The next day, the news of the Jun Corporation¡¯s Madam¡¯s appearance spread throughout thepany.

    ¡°Hey, have you heard? CEO Jun¡¯s wife seemed to havee to thepanyst night. Some colleagues saw her. She¡¯s quite beautiful, the gentle and weak type. She looks like a woman from Jiangnan.¡±

    ¡°Wow, I want to see what CEO Jun¡¯s wife looks like too.¡±

    ¡°The photos on the Inte are out. Look, she looks like this.¡±

    The employeespeted to share photos and news in the group.

    Everyone knew that Jun Shiling had a son, but his wife had always been very mysterious.

    At dawn this morning, a small newspaper published a piece of explosive news.

    They imed that they had received news from passers-by who had identally taken a photo of Jun Shiling and his wife waiting for a car downstairs.

    The apanying picture was a photo taken by a phone.

    Beside the tall and cold Jun Shiling was a beauty with long hair.

    This picture had been appraised before and was not photoshopped. Hence, it was reposted by theizens without restraint.

    [ Goodbye. I¡¯m heartbroken and I¡¯ll jump off a building. ]

    [ The one who fell out of love bring me along. I¡¯m crying. Who knows who this sister is? I really want to know what kind of woman could capture CEO Jun¡¯s heart. ]

    [ It doesn¡¯t look right. This woman¡¯s aura is so weak. I feel like she¡¯s being suppressed by CEO Jun. ]

    [ You don¡¯t understand, the person in front. This is what a domineering CEO and his little wife should look like. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was in Continent O that was seven hourster than in China. In addition, the filming mission was heavy, so Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have the energy to watch the domestic news.

    After the day of filming ended, An Rao came over angrily with her phone.

    ¡°Sister, look, a green tea b * tch is coveting your CEO Jun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the phone and looked at it. The entire Inte was saying that this woman was the legendary mistress of the Jun Corporation.

    Coincidentally, Jun Shiling called.

    ¡°Hello?¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.

    ¡°When are youing back?¡±

    If Lin Jing did not report news of the entertainment industry to Jun Shiling, he would not have paid attention to it. Today, Lin Jing had been sent to a certain department in the country for a meeting and had blocked his phone signal the entire time.

    Jun Shiling still had not realized that his and Wan Rou¡¯s photos had been on the news.

    An Rao secretly listened from the side. Seeing that Jun Shiling sounded fine, she was anxious.?<i>Could it be that CEO Jun was a scumbag? He didn¡¯t look like one.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao, who was as anxious as an ant, in amusement. Then, she said to the phone, ¡°I¡¯m noting back.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Jun Shiling was reading documents and didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to say that.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the director wants to take a photo with everyone. We¡¯re waiting for you.¡± At this moment, Xuan Sheng walked over.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then said to Jun Shiling, ¡°I¡¯m hanging up. Apany your Madam well.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. An Rao praised her.

    <i>This was my sister, cool.?</i>

    On the other end of the line, Jun Shiling was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    He knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s character.<i>?She would never make something out of nothing. What did she mean by noting back??</i>

    And Xuan Sheng¡¯s voice on the phone made him lose all thoughts of work.

    Thinking that there had always been major trending topics on Weibo, Jun Shiling logged in.

    Then, he saw the top trending topic ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s Madam Unveiled¡±.

    The picture was of him and Wan Rou standing togetherst night.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s face darkened.

    Jun Shiling called Xia Wanyuan a few more times.

    On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, because they had sessfully finished filming in Continent O, the director happily invited everyone to a meal. There was a lot ofmotion, and Xia Wanyuan did not notice that her phone had rung a few times.

    In China, Jun Shiling could not sit still anymore.. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Continent O now.¡±

    Wan Rou woke up early and watered the nts in the courtyard before sitting there to read.

    ¡°Xiaorou, you woke up so early.¡± Old Master Jun had always woken up early. He didn¡¯t expect Wan Rou to wake up earlier than him.

    ¡°Grandpa Jun, I¡¯m used to it. When Grandpa was alive, he would bring me to run every morning.¡±

    ¡°Damn, Old Wan still likes to exercise so much after not seeing him for so many years.¡± Hearing Wan Rou mention his grandfather, Old Master Jun recalled the days when he used to practice and run with hisrades and sighed.

    ¡°Yes, Grandpa often misses his formerrades. He always told me stories about you guys back then.¡± Wan Rou held the book in front of her, her eyes free of dust.

    ¡°What did he say?¡± The old master was interested.

    Wan Rou began to tell the old master about what her grandfather had told her, making himugh out loud.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that old man to tell you everything.¡± Old Master Jun stroked his beard with a smile and nced at the book Wan Rou was holding on her phone. ¡°Girl, what book are you reading?¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, I got into Beijing University this year. I enrolled in September. I¡¯m watching the sses that I¡¯m taking when school starts now.¡±

    ¡°Beijing University?¡± The old master nodded in admiration.

    Beijing University was one of the top five universities in the country. In Beijing, it was only second to the Qing University. To be able to attend this university, one could be called a genius.

    Wan Rou pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°I still have a lot to learn, Grandpa. I heard that there are manyrge libraries in Beijing. Can I get the chauffeur to bring me there?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± The old master nodded.

    Hisrade¡¯s granddaughter was sensible, diligent and had a passion for learning. She was indeed very likable.

    Continent O,

    After Xia Wanyuan and the rest gathered for dinner, it was alreadyte at night in Continent O.

    When she returned to the hotel, Xia Wanyuan saw that Jun Shiling had called her. She called back, but no one picked up.

    This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had called Jun Shiling, but no one picked up.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    She called again, but no one picked up.

    No matter how much Xia Wanyuan trusted Jun Shiling, she was a little unhappy and suspicious. Jun Shiling would never not answer her calls.

    <i>Why did it happen that there was a scandal in the country and he did not answer the phone??</i>

    <i>Did I trust him too much??</i>

    Love always made people sensitive and suspicious. Xia Wanyuan could not help but fall into this clich¨¦. She called the manor. Uncle Wang picked up.

    ¡°Young Master? Young Master went to work today and isn¡¯t back yet. I heard from thepany that Young Master seems to have gone out.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s number.

    She was silent, thinking about something.

    Five minutester, Xia Wanyuan stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

    Meanwhile, on the flight path from China to Continent O, the Jun family¡¯s private ne was cruising through the thunder.

    There were many thunderstorms in midsummer, and the weather was especially bad that night.

    In fact, such weather was not suitable for traveling, but Jun Shiling requested that they have to go to Continent O, so the pilot had to listen to Jun Shiling¡¯s orders.

    The ne was a little bumpy in the clouds. Jun Shiling looked at his phone. The signal had stopped, and he recalled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°I¡¯m noting back¡±.

    Jun Shiling panicked.

    Whether Xia Wanyuan was joking or not, he could not bear it.

    After taking the fastest route, the skilled pilot forcefully shortened the flight time by three hours. He sessfully sent Jun Shiling to his destination at five in the morning in Continent O.

    The staff who had been waiting at the airport received Jun Shiling and brought him to the hotel where the production team of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was.

    Without Jun Shiling by her side, in an unfamiliar environment in a foreign country, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sleep quality was not good to begin with.

    In addition, she could not contact Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan was vexed and did not sleep well the entire night. In the morning, she heard a knock on the door in a daze. She looked at the dark sky outside the window and thought that she was still asleep.

    However, the knocking continued. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and realized that the door to her room was indeed being knocked. Xia Wanyuan got out of bed and walked to the peephole to take a look. There was a cold figure standing outside the door.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly opened the door with a look of surprise. ¡°Jun Shiling? Why are you here?!¡±

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips and strode into the room. He hugged Xia Wanyuan with one hand and closed the door with the other.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had just woken up, was still warm from being under the nket. Jun Shiling had been rushing around the entire night, and he felt a little cold.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan standing barefoot on the ground, Jun Shiling picked her up and ced her under the nket. He took off his shoes and socks and got into bed, hugging her in his arms.

    Xia Wanyuan still felt that she might be dreaming.

    <i>China and Continent O were more than ten hours away. Why was Jun Shiling here?</i>

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling buried his head in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck. Smelling the faint fragrance, he finally felt a little relieved.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t said why you¡¯re here yet.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to hug Jun Shiling back, but thinking of that picture, she felt a little offended.

    Jun Shiling sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hesitation and stepped back a little, letting her look into his eyes. ¡°I saw that woman only yesterday. She¡¯s the granddaughter of my grandfather¡¯srade. I didn¡¯t take a car with her. I just got the chauffeur to send her back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood improved a little. ¡°Then just tell me over the phone. Why did youe all the way here?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly again, his voice low. ¡°Don¡¯t say that you won¡¯te back next time, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. Her words were just a joke. But because of her words, Jun Shiling had rushed over day and night, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart felt a little sour and sweet.

    She suddenly felt that her suspicions about Jun Shiling were a littleughable.

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and nodded seriously. ¡°I was just joking. I never thought of not going back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°Sleep a while more. Let the production team leave first.. We¡¯ll return to China ourselves.¡±

    In the hotel lobby, An Rao, who had packed her luggage, was waiting for Xia Wanyuan with a lollipop in her mouth when she saw the director and the rest preparing to leave.

    ¡°Hey, Director, Yuan Yuan hasn¡¯te down yet.¡±

    ¡°Wanyuan is a little unwell. She wants to rest for another day. Let¡¯s go back first. Didn¡¯t Wanyuan send you a message?¡±

    An Rao took out her phone and looked.

    <i>CEO Jun is here?!!</i>

    An Rao stopped her shocked expression and pulled her luggage as if nothing had happened as she followed the group.

    An Rao¡¯s heart was racing. She wanted to take back the words she had secretly scolded Jun Shiling as a scumbag. <i>If he was a scumbag, then please let me have a few more. </i>

    On the other hand, when Xuan Sheng heard the director¡¯s words, he looked upstairs thoughtfully. A hint of disappointment shed across his eyes before he left.

    At two in the afternoon in Continent O, Xia Wanyuan slept for nine hours before slowly waking up.

    When she woke up, the familiar pine fragrance enveloped her. Xia Wanyuan could not help but lean on Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling, who had been rushing around the entire night, slept for a long time. He looked at the time. ¡°Why did you sleep for so long today?¡±

    ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s habits, she usually took seven hours.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t slept well for the past few days. I¡¯ll bring you along the next time I go on a business trip.¡± The nket was warm, and Xia Wanyuan said whatever came to her mind.

    ]Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, a strange look shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Because I¡¯m not used to not having you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was soft.

    Although she did not show it on her face and cooperated with the production team no matter what they ate, she was not used to it.

    No one noticed her strange eating habits. No one blew her hair after showering. No one told her stories to make her happy or covered her with a nket.

    In short, she did not feel much in China, but after leaving the country and really leaving Jun Shiling, she felt ufortable anywhere.

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist.

    Xia Wanyuan did not finish speaking, but he already understood what she meant. The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    This was his goal.

    With all his gentleness and love, he made her unable to leave him forever.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t I here? What do you want to eat in the morning? Let me make it for you, okay?¡± Jun Shiling, who had finally achieved his goal, felt so gentle that water could be squeezed out of his heart.

    ¡°The western food here isn¡¯t delicious. I want to eat noodles.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned andined to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay, shredded meat noodles, spicy vor, with the green pepper seasoning picked out, and I¡¯ll put a poached egg in it for you.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan dotingly.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into his arms like a kitten. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling did not deny it.

    However, other than her, no one else could see this kindness.

    He hugged Xia Wanyuan and chatted for a while. Jun Shiling wanted to get up, but Xia Wanyuan leaned on himzily, not letting him get up.

    Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smooth face. ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry? How can I cook for you if you don¡¯t let me get up?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not want to leave Jun Shiling.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was so dependent on him, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. He helped her up, dressed her, and let her hug his waist.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, clingy spirit. Come with me.¡±

    In the suite next door, all the relevant materials had been prepared. Jun Shiling brought thezy Xia Wanyuan to the next room.

    As he coaxed Xia Wanyuan, he cooked.

    Jun Shiling had lived for 25 years and had cooked four times in total, all of which happened in the same month.

    However, it had to be said that intelligent people learned everything quickly. The food Jun Shiling cooked now was already more delicious than many noodles Xia Wanyuan had eaten.

    After all, Jun Shiling did it ording to her taste.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not go back for the time being today. Let¡¯s go and see the snow mountainter. We¡¯ll go back tomorrow morning.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She had never seen the snow mountain.

    Xia Wanyuan loved snow very much, but in her previous life, it rarely snowed in the Great Xia Dynasty.

    The biggest one seemed to be the year she died. She still remembered that winter, when the snow was shockingly heavy. However, at that time, she had long lost the mood to watch the snow.

    When she came to the modern world, it was already spring, so there was no chance to see these.

    Seeing the yearning in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Baby.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was now immune to Jun Shiling¡¯s nickname for her. After all, when the two of them were passionate, Jun Shiling had forced her to call him many embarrassing names.

    The word ¡®baby¡¯ could no longer make her feel shy.

    ¡°We¡¯ll visit wherever you like in the future.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the meal, Jun Shiling got someone to send more warm clothes for Xia Wanyuan to change into.

    It was the first time Xia Wanyuan had worn modern autumn and winter clothes. Wearing a scarf, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan no longer hid her curiosity about many unknown things in front of Jun Shiling.

    Although the air conditioner was on on the way, it was still a little hot after wearing so much. When they entered the mountain, the temperature dropped.

    The vast snow mountains were connected to each other, and the white snow shone brightly under the sunlight.

    ¡°Let me teach you how to ski.¡±

    On the mountainside, there was thergest natural ski resort in Continent O.

    Because of Jun Shiling¡¯s arrival, the ski park was empty today. There was a stop sign outside.

    It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time skiing, so she was very excited. Jun Shiling got Xia Wanyuan to change into a ski outfit and taught her all sorts of skiing skills.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been smart. After hearing what Jun Shiling said, she groped around and tried it herself. By the second round, her actions were already very standard.

    On the tall snow mountain, a woman in a ski suit descended from the peak and jumped in this clean world like a fairy in the snow.

    Jun Shiling took out his phone and recorded Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skiing scene.

    After recording, Jun Shiling checked. His face could not be seen with the helmet on, only a graceful figure moving through the snow mountains.

    Jun Shiling edited and wrote for a long time. It was only when Xia Wanyuan slipped back and called Jun Shiling that Jun Shiling finally pressed the send button.

    Then, theizens in the country went crazy.

    Jun Shiling posted a new video update. Jun Shiling, who had never appeared in public, kept a low profile, and was a man of few words, had a long paragraph for his caption.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°The woman I love has the most tenacious soul in the world and the softest kindness. She¡¯s peerless and unique. If the dayes where she¡¯s willing to publicize, I¡¯ll introduce her to you. The rumors about me are all fake. The only Madam Jun beside me is her.. Madam Jun will only be introduced to the world by me personally.¡±

    Weibo programmer:<i>?Forget it. My hair is gone anyway. Do whatever you want.?</i>

    Theizens were caught off guard by Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo post and were so shocked that they almost threw their phones out.

    [ Is this the cold and taciturn CEO Jun? ]

    [ I¡¯m going to cut down all the lemon trees in our vige. Which little vixen obtained President Jun¡¯s love alone? Ahhhhh, jealousy blinded my eyes! ]

    [ Oh my god, I think I¡¯ve read so many novels about domineering CEOs, but none of them know how to date like CEO Jun. He rifies himself whenever there¡¯s a scandal. What kind of godly man is this? He¡¯s so rich and handsome. I can¡¯t take it anymore. If I continue, I¡¯m going to jump off a building. ]

    [ The female party is actually unwilling to publicize¡­ I¡¯m too curious. What kind of woman can resist not publicizing a man like Jun Shiling? ]

    Because Jun Shiling had personally rified, all the rumors about him and Wan Rou were broken.

    The person who had added fuel to the fire behind the rumors clearly did not expect Jun Shiling toe down personally. He had prepared a pile of information and had not had the time to upload it, but it was useless now.

    Just as he was about to delete the information, he did not expect that everything in theputer would be copied and pasted. He panicked. It was as if theputer was remotely controlled by someone, and he could not even switch off his phone.

    When he went to turn off the power switch, he was finally relieved when there was a knock on the door.

    When he opened the door, the cyber-police was outside. ¡°Hello, you¡¯re suspected of disturbing public order. Pleasee with us.¡±

    In the courtyard,

    Wan Rou also saw Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo and her willowy eyebrows furrowed slightly. At that moment, Old Master had just finished practicing calligraphy and painting and was leaning on the chair drinking tea.

    ¡°Grandpa Jun, President Jun and Madam have such a good rtionship.¡± Wan Rou looked at Old Master Jun with a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Madam?¡± Old Master Jun was confused. ¡°How did you know?¡±

    ¡°Look, this is CEO Jun¡¯s Weibo post.¡± Wan Rou handed the phone to Old Master Jun.

    She thought that Old Master Jun would be angry, but it did not happen. Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on his face. ¡°How greasy.¡±

    Wan Rou carefully nced at Old Master¡¯s expression and probed, ¡°I didn¡¯t hear that CEO Jun was married.¡±

    Although she was the granddaughter of hisrade, she was not family after all. Old Master did not want to reveal too much to Wan Rou. ¡°I don¡¯t really care about their matters. Xiao Rou, didn¡¯t you say that you were going to the library? Let the chauffeur send you there.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Grandpa Jun.¡± Wan Rou was very obedient. Since Old Master did not say anything, she did not probe further, as if she had really just asked casually.

    In the vast snow mountains of Continent O, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked side by side, gliding together on the snow mountains.

    Xia Wanyuan understood quickly. In an hour, she could alreadypare to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, let¡¯spete. Whoever reaches the finish line first wins.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the red line in the distance. The white gas that came out of her mouth was covered by ayer of fog on her helmet.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    Then, the two of them slid towards the finish line.

    After all, Jun Shiling was a veteran skier for many years. He was a little faster than Xia Wanyuan. He stopped after reaching the endpoint and turned around, waiting for Xia Wanyuan to pounce on him.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly reduced her speed, but the huge force still knocked Jun Shiling directly into the snow.

    ¡°Why are you standing here?¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled down her helmet. The cold temperature made the tip of her nose red like a kitten.

    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you to throw yourself at me.¡± The ground was covered in snow, so the collision did not hurt. Jun Shiling smiled, got up, and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold face.

    Xia Wanyuan was silent. She suddenly thought of a word An Rao often said and whispered. Jun Shiling did not hear her clearly and asked, ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling. ¡°I said you¡¯re a dog man.¡±

    <i>Why didn¡¯t you take the proper path, yet you had to wait for me to knock into you? Don¡¯t you find the ground cold?</i>

    Jun Shiling smiled instead of being angry. ¡°You¡¯ve been learning bad words from An Rao every day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you seem to enjoy some of the things I learned from An Rao?¡±

    Like a certaincy bra or a dress.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words rendered Jun Shiling speechless.

    At this moment, An Rao, who was sitting on the boat watching the sunset, suddenly sneezed. An Rao had a mysterious intuition that someone was scolding her from behind.

    The cruise ship swayed on the sea, making her dizzy. The lollipop in her mouth could not ease the urge to vomit.

    ¡°When can we go ashore?¡± An Rao flipped her hair, attracting arge number of stunned gazes.

    ¡°Sigh, I think it will take another hour. It¡¯s soon. How annoying. We didn¡¯t have to take the boat originally.¡± The production team looked at the time and sighed.

    An Rao and the rest could have transferred back to China directly.

    However, due to the bad weather, there were a few flights that could not fly ording to the original n. The production team could only return in batches. Most of the people boarded the ne, leaving An Rao and the director with no suitable flights. They could only choose to take a ship to another country to transfer.

    The setting sun on the sea was very magnificent. The warm red light shone on the water. From afar, it was like the world in a movie blockbuster. It was as if a dragon would fly out in the next second.

    An Rao took out her phone and prepared to take a photo of this and send it to her little disciple.

    Recently, An Rao had be a little strange. She wanted to tell her little disciple what she ate, and when she saw something fun. Just like now, she wanted to share beautiful scenes with her little disciple.

    An Rao clicked on the camera and focused.

    <i>Very good, the angle was perfect.?</i>With a click of the shutter, a beautiful photo of the setting sun at sea was taken.

    An Rao looked at the photo and was about to praise her excellent photography skills when she realized that there was a pile of ck dots in the middle of the photo.

    ¡°I¡¯m speechless. Can¡¯t these shipse backter?¡± An Rao deleted the photos and prepared to take them again after the ship in front drove away.

    She supported her chin with her hand and waited for the boat in front to leave. Who would have thought that the cruise ship would suddenly explode with a warning siren?

    The surrounding people suddenly began to panic.

    ?1?4??1?4?

    An Rao rarely sailed and was not familiar with this signal. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    The tourist who was trembling in fear spoke in foreignnguage.

    An Rao looked like an illiterate vase, but she actually knew a lot of foreignnguages.

    An Rao understood what he meant.

    Pirates.

    An Rao cursed in her heart. She felt that she was hallucinating.

    <i>Do these creatures that only exist in movies also appear in real life?!! F*ck!</i>

    An Rao looked ahead. The ship that had been filled with ck dots in the camera was now very close to the cruise ship. An Rao saw that there was a messy g hanging above this group of ships, but it looked like a pirate¡¯s g.

    ¡°What should we do now?¡± The surrounding people were panicking. The news of the previous pirate kidnapping and extorting ransom was still fresh in their minds.

    It would be good if they only robbed money. The key was that these people did not have any morals. Everyone was afraid that they would do something else.

    The pirate ship was very fast, and their ship was equipped with weapons. Under the pressure of the other party, the cruise ship was forced to stop on the sea.

    A group of pirates with guns gradually boarded the ship.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move. Everyone, go to the deck!¡±

    An Rao wanted to secretly send Xia Wanyuan a message. When she looked at her phone, the signal had been blocked.

    The moment the cruise and headquarters lost contact, the headquarters tried to contact them. After a few attempts, the cruisepany called the police.

    However, the country that the cruise belonged to was an especially small country. It did not have its own military equipment, nor did it have the ability to expel pirates.

    Hence, this small country quickly sent the passenger list to the various embassies, begging other countries to mobilize their guards to save the hostages.

    The moment the embassy received the list, they contacted the UN guards.

    Time gradually passed, and the sunlight had long disappeared into the sea. The fog was hazy, and the temperature at the sea began to drop.

    They had thought they would reachnd before sunset. Everyone was dressed in summer clothes. Now, as they stood on the deck, many of them were so cold that their lips turned purple.

    An Rao was wearing a short skirt and was shivering from the cold.

    She was beautiful and was especially eye-catching in the crowd.

    A few people kept pointing at her. After a while, those people walked towards her. An Rao wanted to hide in the crowd, but she could not.

    The man¡¯s ck arm reached out towards An Rao.

    An Rao¡¯s heart skipped a beat.?<i>At most, I would just die heroically.</i>

    In this moment of despair and fear, An Rao actually thought of her little disciple.

    <i>I have never seen what my little disciple looked like. It was such a loss.?</i>

    Just as the man grabbed her arm, the entire ship suddenly trembled.

    An Rao heard their chatter.

    It seemed like they hit a reef underwater.

    Upon receiving the notification, the man nced at An Rao regretfully and mumbled, ¡°I¡¯ll deal with youter.¡± Then, he left the deck and went down to the sea with his teammates to check on the rupture.

    An Rao heaved a sigh of relief.

    Suddenly, banging sounds came from below the boat.

    Everyone trembled in fear. Everyone on the ship became alert. Even the sound of intense fighting came from the cabin.

    After a while, the sound of fighting began to thin.

    ¡°Oh my god, look, a Chinese ship!¡±

    In the crowd, someone discovered a ship that broke through the fog not far away. The red g fluttering in the night was like hope, making people feel touched.

    The Chinese guards quickly approached the ship. The guards in white uniforms entered in a line. With the cooperation of the vanguard team, the entire ship was controlled.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, everyone.¡± Someone shouted in Chinese. ¡°The country has sent people to bring everyone home!¡±

    Therades who were finally safe whispered when they heard this.

    At that moment, a dark green figure walked over from the ship beside them. Everyone on the ship saluted him respectfully.

    The color of the fog was hazy and one could not see his face clearly. However, one could tell that it was a tall and upright man.

    The sound of boots stepping on the deck was especially obvious in the quiet night. An Rao could not help but focus on this legendary person.

    His footsteps gradually approached, and the light shone on the person¡¯s face.

    Under the brim of the hat with stars printed on it was an extremely young face.

    An Rao felt that she was hallucinating from the cold.<i>?Otherwise, why would I see that dog man¡¯s face?!</i>

    The surrounding people gasped. Clearly, no one had expected the person to be so young. Looking at the shining golden star on the young man¡¯s shoulder, everyone was silent.

    ¡°Sir, all the personnel have been controlled.¡±

    ¡°Count the staff.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes, which had always been smiling, were no longer curved, making him look very serious.

    He was very cold and handsome.

    An Rao looked at Bo Xiao in a daze.<i>?This dog man was actually an officer?!</i>

    <i>It must be fake.?</i>

    Seeing An Rao look at him with a pale face, Bo Xiao arranged things and turned to leave.

    When they were finally safe, everyone was cold and hungry. They crawled into the cabin to find food.

    An Rao was still a little confused. She found a chair on the deck and sat down. At that moment, her phone had a signal. An Rao took out her phone and was about to send a message to Xia Wanyuan when the sound of boots stomping came from beside her.

    An Rao could not help but look up. A suit covered her with a faint fragrance.

    ¡°It¡¯s so cold. Why are you sitting here?¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao in disdain and nced at her fair legs. Anger shed across his face.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Just as An Rao spoke a word, Bo Xiao grabbed her arm and pulled her to the cabin beside her.

    Along the way, many people saluted Bo Xiao. Only then did An Rao feel a little real.

    <i>This Bo Xiao seemed to have some skills.?</i>

    An Rao followed Bo Xiao into the room. An Rao looked around. This seemed to be Bo Xiao¡¯s private room. It was clean and tidy.

    Although she was still wearing Bo Xiao¡¯s suit, the temperature at night was too low. An Rao was so cold that she trembled.

    Bo Xiao covered An Rao with a nket. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to eat at this time. Let me make you some instant noodles.¡±

    Bo Xiao went out to get some water. When he returned, he saw An Rao burying herself in the nket, revealing only her small face that looked stupid and cute.

    A smile finally appeared on Bo Xiao¡¯s face.

    Smelling the fragrance of instant noodles, An Rao sniffed. ¡°It smells so good.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled with his fox-like eyes. An Rao looked into his eyes and felt a little familiar.

    The solemn person in the night just now made her feel unfamiliar.

    ¡°Eat.¡± Bo Xiao ced the bowl of noodles on the table. An Rao leaned over and was stunned.

    The instant noodles were soaked, and only a little soup was left. There was a soft egg on the surface.

    This was her cup noodles style. An Rao could not help but be suspicious.

    <i>Why was Bo Xiao¡¯s eating style so simr to mine??</i>

    However, An Rao did not have time to wonder. She had been hungry for the entire night. Now, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

    After eating a bowl of noodles, An Rao finally felt a little warm.

    Seeing the handsome Bo Xiao in his uniform packing his things by the side, An Rao found it magical no matter how she thought about it. She sat back on the sofa and touched a phone, preparing to tell Xia Wanyuan about this.

    She habitually unlocked her phone with her face, but the screen was dark. An Rao pressed the open screen button.

    ¡°The boat needs to dock at dawn. You have to stay on the boat tonight.¡± Bo Xiao suddenly turned around to speak to An Rao.

    ¡°Huh?¡± At that moment, Bo Xiao, who was under the light, was dressed in a tailored uniform that made him look like jade. An Rao had always been a face lover. Now, she was stunned and could not react for a moment. ¡°Am I sleeping here?¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Isn¡¯t your room on the side of the cruise?¡±

    ¡°Ah, right.¡± An Rao retracted her gaze in embarrassment and wanted to p herself.?<i>What are you saying? You¡¯re making it seem like you want to throw yourself into his arms.?</i>

    The phone was already unlocked. To ease the awkwardness, An Rao hurriedly clicked on WeChat and prepared to call Xia Wanyuan.

    In An Rao¡¯s phone, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chat window was pinned to the top.

    Hence, An Rao clicked on the chat box habitually. After typing a few words, she finally realized that something was wrong.

    <i>Why am I the one pinned?!?</i>

    An Rao looked at the contact again.

    Xiao Lianbo.

    An Rao exited and looked at this ount. It was obvious that it was the one who yed games with her every day, chatted with her on WeChat, and called her.

    ???????

    !!!!!!!

    An Rao had a very mature guess in her heart.

    At that moment, Bo Xiao had already thrown away the trash and returned. Seeing An Rao staring at him, he could not help but smile and ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Is your birthday on the 1st of December?¡± An Rao stared into Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then the password for your phone,¡± An Rao said. Afraid that Bo Xiao would misunderstand, she hurriedly exined, ¡°I just took it casually and didn¡¯t expect to take the wrong one. Our phones look the same.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°The password is your birthday anyway. Use it.¡±

    She did not expect Bo Xiao to admit it so readily. An Rao choked and asked the question she wanted to ask with much difficulty, ¡°You¡¯re Little Disciple?¡±

    Bo Xiao sat on the chair beside An Rao and nodded at her. ¡°Yes, Little Master.¡±

    Under the light, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. He was clearly wearing an extremely formal outfit, but there was a familiar teasing smile on his face.

    An Rao felt as if her entire world had copsed.

    ¡°Y-You lied to me¡­¡± An Rao could not describe what she was feeling. She was a little flustered now. The person who apanied her every night to y games and chat was actually the dog man she hated.

    ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you.¡± Bo Xiao took off his hat. His hair was a little messy. For some reason, An Rao wanted to help him smoothen it.

    ¡°Why are you pretending to be my disciple? Are you taking revenge on me?¡± An Rao wondered if Bo Xiao was doing this to take revenge on her for snatching her little dumpling.

    As if seeing through An Rao¡¯s thoughts, Bo Xiao smiled helplessly and flicked her forehead.

    ¡°What are you thinking about? Why would I take revenge on you? Go and sleep.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he recalled the question An Rao had asked and smiled. ¡°If you want to sleep with me, that¡¯s fine too.¡±

    An Rao gritted her teeth.

    <i>As expected, he was still a hooligan!!!?</i>

 Chapter 570 - Goodnight, Little Lian Po

    <h4>Chapter 570: Goodnight, Little Lian Po</h4>

    Although she was calling him a hooligan in her heart, An Rao still stayed behind with Bo Xiao without any backbone.

    After all, it was safe to be with him. Although An Rao looked brave, after themotion just now, she was still afraid.

    Furthermore, after knowing that Bo Xiao was her little disciple, in addition to the clothes he was wearing, An Rao had an inexplicable trust in him.

    ¡°Let me tell you. You can¡¯t have any bad intentions,¡± An Rao said to Bo Xiao as she held the nket tightly.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Bo Xiao curved his fox-like eyes with some suspicion. ¡°With your figure, I can¡¯t have any bad thoughts.¡±

    ???

    An Rao felt that this dog man was not only lecherous but also blind.

    Agitated by the suspicious smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes, An Rao suddenly lifted the nket. ¡°Bullsh * t.¡±

    An Rao usually liked to wear tight shoulderless short skirts. Under the furry nket, the extreme arc dazzled Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes.

    It was not without reason that An Rao was called Medusa in the entertainment industry.

    From the first time Bo Xiao saw An Rao, he knew that this woman was of the highest quality. He had only been teasing An Rao just now, who would have thought that An Rao would be so adverse to teasing?

    Bo Xiao¡¯s breathing instantly became a little heavy. His fox-like eyes, which were always curved, sank slightly.

    Sensing the change in Bo Xiao¡¯s gaze, An Rao¡¯s face flushed red.

    <i>F*ck! What am I doing?!</i>

    An Rao felt that she had simply fainted. She hurriedly pulled the nket over and covered herself, burying her entire head in it.

    An Rao rolled onto the bed. ¡°I¡¯m sleeping.¡±

    Looking at An Rao, who had wrapped herself up like a cocoon, the smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes grew. In the end, he could not help butugh.

    ¡°Okay, good night, Little Lianbo.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at the lump of silkworm on the bed onest time and switched off the lights in the room, leaving only the dimmp beside the bed shining.

    Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s footsteps leave the room, An Rao hid under the nket for a while before slowly sticking her head out.

    Everything in the room was simple and clean. It was very disharmonious with Bo Xiao, who waspletely different from what An Rao had imagined.

    On the pillow was the refreshing smell of the lingering male shampoo. After a while, An Rao¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°What Little Lianbo? It¡¯s so awful!!¡± An Raoined, but her beautiful eyes had a shy smile.

    The next day, at seven o¡¯clock in the morning in Continent O, Xia Wanyuan woke up with much discipline.

    She had been skiing the previous day and slept very soundly after the exercise. Furthermore, Jun Shiling was by her side.

    After the skiing yesterday, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling stayed in a resort hotel in the snow mountain.

    It was dawn outside. Through the huge ss window, one could see the snow-coverednd outside.

    Jun Shiling was still sleeping. Xia Wanyuan looked at the snow for a while, touched her phone, and saw the Weibo message Tang Yin had shared with her.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw that it was the one Jun Shiling had posted.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at it seriously for a while. The corners of her eyes were a little red.

    Then, she switched off her phone and shrank into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Sensing the movement of the person in his arms, Jun Shiling closed his eyes and subconsciously hugged her tighter.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had an especially deep voice.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, her voice a little hoarse.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder tofort her.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely had such an impulse. Since she could not say it, she could only prove it with her actions.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and sat on Jun Shiling. Her ink-ck hair fell behind her, and her eyes were a little red.

    Jun Shiling panicked and pressed his hand to the corner of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She lowered her head and covered Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth who wanted to say something.

    Jun Shiling still remembered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red eyes and wanted to ask her what had happened.

    However, Xia Wanyuan took too much initiative today. In just a moment, she had made him lose all rationality.

    Jun Shiling took the initiative next and quickly controlled everything.

    Snowkes rustled outside the window, and the trees were filled with snow. The branches could not bear such a weight and trembled. Arge pile of snow fell and smashed onto the ground.

    In the warm house, it was already noon when everything stopped.

    Although it was cold outside, the two of them were covered in sweat.

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan over and cleaned her, before helping her wear her clothes.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Jun Shiling patiently squatted on the ground and helped Xia Wanyuan put on her shoes.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling by her feet. ¡°I just like you a lot. Where lovees, ites.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling paused slightly. This was not the first time Xia Wanyuan had confessed to him.

    However, he was really useless.

    Every time he heard such words, his emotions would fluctuate. He was so happy that he did not know what to say.

    After putting on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoes, Jun Shiling stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When she returned, she sat on the family¡¯s ne and took a nap without worry. She slept the entire way and unknowingly, she had returned to Beijing.

    After Jun Shiling left Beijing, Xiao Bao was brought to the courtyard by Old Master Jun.

    At that moment, in the courtyard, Xiao Bao was squatting in the garden and looking at the grapevines.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, Auntie made some snacks. Do you want to eat some?¡± Wan Rou carried a te of dessert and squatted down with Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao nced at it. Although he wanted to eat it, Mommy had said that he had grown fat and could not eat sweet food anymore. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. I won¡¯t eat it. Mommy said I should lose weight.¡±

    Hearing Xiao Bao mention Mommy, Wan Rou could not help but ask, ¡°You¡¯re so cute. Your Mommy must be very beautiful too.¡±

    ¡°Of course! My Mommy is so beautiful!¡± Xiao Bao was excited when he heard someone praise Xia Wanyuan.

    Wan Rou smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay to eat a little. You¡¯re still a child. Why would you need to lose weight? You¡¯re only cute when you¡¯re chubby.¡±

    If it was a normal child, they might have listened to this and eaten the biscuits without worry.

    However, as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number one fan, Xiao Bao had never doubted her words.

    ¡°No, I want to listen to Mommy!¡±

    ¡°Alright, then what are you ying? I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m watching the snails.¡± Because Wan Rou was someone close to Great-grandfather, did not ask random questions and spoke gently, Xiao Bao did not hate this auntie, so he patiently exined to her.

    Wan Rou yed with Xiao Bao for the entire afternoon. Seeing that the little dumpling trusted her more, Wan Rou asked him a question.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, why isn¡¯t your father here to pick you up?¡±

    ¡°My father is out.¡± Xiao Bao yed with the toy in his hand.

    ¡°What kind of hobbies does your father have?¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s hand that was ying with the toy paused. ¡°My father likes sweet food. The especially sweet kind.. Hehe, I inherited it from my father!¡±

    Wan Rou was suspicious. CEO Jun didn¡¯t look like someone who liked sweet food.

    However, seeing how obedient and innocent the little dumpling was, Wan Rou still believed him.

    At that moment, the door to the courtyard opened and a cold Jun Shiling walked in.

    ¡°Daddy!¡± Xiao Bao put down the toy in his hand and pounced on Jun Shiling.

    However, Jun Shiling picked him up halfway and nced at him coldly. Xiao Bao retracted his dirty little hand.

    He pursed his lips in grievance. ¡®<i>Daddy is so biased. Mommy had a lot of mudst time, but Daddy didn¡¯t mind. He even hugged Mommy and washed her hands!¡¯?</i>

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Wan Rou walked forward and smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling ignored her and carried the little dumpling into the house.

    When Old Master Jun heard themotion, he looked helplessly at the pitiful little dumpling in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯re already a father. Why are you carrying a child like this?¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling let go of the little dumpling and warn him with his eyes not to get close to him.

    Xiao Bao pouted.

    <i>Hmph, biased Daddy. If you don¡¯t hug me, Mommy will definitely hug me when we get hometer.?</i>

    <i>I don¡¯t want you to hug me.?</i>

    ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m going back with Xiao Bao. I¡¯lle and visit you next week.¡±

    ¡°Okay, go, go.¡± Old Master waved his hand. Since Wan Rou was present, it was not convenient for Old Master to ask about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation, so he let them leave directly.

    Wan Rou stood obediently at the side, not even looking at Jun Shiling.

    Old Master Jun looked at Wan Rou.?<i>This girl still knew her limits.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had long been sent back to the manor by Jun Shiling, and Xiao Bao had been sulking the entire time.

    It was only when he saw Xia Wanyuan that a smile appeared on Xiao Bao¡¯s face. It had been a few days since he had seen Xia Wanyuan, and he missed her terribly. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s love, he hadpletely ignored Jun Shiling¡¯s warning gaze.

    At the distant airport of Continent O, under the arrangements of the Chinese guards, those who stayed on Continent O were sent to the ne.

    An Rao seemed to have been agitated by Bo Xiao¡¯s words that her figure could not arouse his interest. Over the past two days, her clothes had been tighter than the previous two days, attracting amazed gazes wherever she went.

    Bo Xiao could not stand it anymore and draped a suit jacket over An Rao¡¯s shoulders.

    An Rao reached out to take the coat off.

    ¡°If you take off this jacket today, you¡¯ll stay in the Starlight Stage forever. Don¡¯t even think about bing a King.¡±

    An Rao hesitated for a moment before turning to re at Bo Xiao. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    In the end, this jacket never came off An Rao¡¯s shoulders.

    Seeing that the crowd was about to enter the boarding gate, An Rao¡¯s footsteps gradually slowed.

    Finally, the person behind stopped her. ¡°An Rao.¡±

    This was the first time Bo Xiao had called An Rao¡¯s name. His voice had a hint of a smile to begin with, and calling her An Rao made one¡¯s heart turn numb.

    ¡°What?¡± An Rao turned around with an unwilling expression.

    Even though An Rao was wearing high heels, Bo Xiao was still a head taller than her. Bo Xiao reached out and touched her head.

    From the moment he saw An Rao, who was trembling on the chair but still had a proud expression on her face, he had wanted to do this.

    Her soft hair was very different from her appearance.

    ¡°What are you doing?!¡± An Rao was shocked by Bo Xiao¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Wait for me to y games with you tonight.¡±

    ¡°Who wants to wait for you?¡± An Rao¡¯s ears burned.

    Bo Xiao did not speak further. ¡°Alright, hurry up and go. The boarding gate is about to close.¡±

    An Rao left the airport in high heels with Bo Xiao¡¯s clothes draped over her shoulders. When she got on the ne, she touched her flushed ears.

    Her heart was crazily flooding with thoughts.

    <i>What was little disciple thinking? Why was he touching my hair??</i>

    <i>Could this dog man be coveting my beauty? He must be!!?</i>

    At that moment, an air stewardess came to help her put on her seatbelt and even asked considerately what she needed.

    An Rao waved her hand. ¡°No need. You¡¯re too kind. Thank you.¡±

    The air stewardess: ¡°You¡¯re wee. Young Master Bo specially instructed us to take care of his family. It¡¯s only right for us to take care of you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    The air stewardess left after speaking, so she did not see An Rao¡¯s face turn red.

    Who is his family!! What nonsense did he say!!!

    The recent state of the entertainment industry could be described as chaotic. Models for the annual fashion show were currently being screened, and most female celebrities in the entertainment industry had fought hard for this spot.

    Xia Wanyuan was happy to be idle. In any case, she had already be enemies with Manda, so she could skip the time to fight for this spot.

    That day, when Xia Wanyuan went to ss, other than the students and Yu Qian who sat unmoved,

    a new face appeared in the back of the ssroom.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and turned her gaze back to the ckboard.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses had always been packed. Ever since she became famous in Qing University, students had to upy a seat an hour early for every ss. There was even a chance that they could not snatch a seat.

    During Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss, it was always easy and interesting, but they would also learn a lot. After the lesson, under everyone¡¯s apuse, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the ssroom.

    However, not long after she left, someone called her from behind. ¡°Professor Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. It was the young man who had just sat in thest row of the ssroom.

    The young man was fair and clean and wore sses.

    ¡°Hello, Professor Xia. I¡¯m Li Yi, a member of the China Go team.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°I wonder if Professor Xia is busy now. Can I talk to you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. ¡°Sure.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan brought Li Yi to the office.

    Ten minutester.

    ¡°Are you asking me to join your association?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yi nodded. ¡°I heard that you y Go very well.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Who did you hear that from?¡± She did not seem to have revealed that she knew how to y chess outside.

    ¡°My grandfather yed chess with his friends in the alley once. You solved their doomed game with one move,¡± Li Yi replied honestly.

    ¡°It¡¯s just my interest and hobby. I¡¯m not a professional.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know how advanced technology had be in this era, so she did not dare to rashly agree.

    ¡°There will be an internal selection in a few days. Are you willing toe?¡± Li Yi looked at Xia Wanyuan expectantly.

    In her previous life, Go was only something she used to kill time. Xia Wanyuan did not know much about modern Gopetitions.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was hesitating, Li Yi took out the information he had brought.

    ¡°Please give it a try. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t get selected. It¡¯s just that the Go team is really short of people now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through the information Li Yi had handed her. Seeing that Go, which had originated in China, had declined here, Xia Wanyuan was a little tempted.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Li Yi looked at this beautiful woman without any distractions.

    At that moment, he was hoping that this woman could be the key to reviving this dead game.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling, who was working in the Jun Corporation, received a message.

    ¡°A professional underground organization in Continent M received a high price death list, and the person who this death list pointed to was Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    <i>Continent M??</i>Jun Shiling frowned.

    <i>This was not King¡¯s territory, so other than him, who else had targeted Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    Seeing the name of the organization that had epted this mission, Jun Shiling called outside.

    In a tall building in Continent M, a blonde woman and a handsome foreign man were sitting together.

    ¡°Is the person you found reliable? Who is she? Why did Mr. Blue change his will because of her?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I found an international organization. They will resolve this matter very well. What can a little girl from China do?¡± The man confidently lit the cigarette in his hand.

    They had been by Mr. Blue¡¯s side for so many years, so how could they watch him distribute such a huge power in Continent M to others?

    Xia Wanyuan had been very busy recently. Other than preparing to audition for the production team of ¡°Dark Night¡±, she also had to prepare to participate in the training for the World Painting Competition.

    The opponents this time were not like the previous young artists. This time, it was real world talents.

    Xia Wanyuan had seen other people¡¯s painting skills and they were indeed very skilled. This time, she had to treat thispetition more seriously.

    Other than practicing, Xia Wanyuan even took the time to go to thepany.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that the meal she had eaten back then at the Qing University was really worth it.

    Shen Qian was indeed a rare talent. The Xiafeng Group was nowpletely under his control and was managed very well.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was hidden behind the scenes and Shen Qian was in front, the profits of the entirepany had already increased more than eight timespared to when Xia Yuanqing was in charge.

    ¡°Well done,¡± Xia Wanyuan praised.

    ¡°It was CEO Xia who instructed me well,¡± Shen Qian said to Xia Wanyuan respectfully.

    His words were not ttery, but genuine admiration for Xia Wanyuan.

    During this period of time, every major decision of thepany had been personally handled by Xia Wanyuan. The increase in sales of Ci Yi and Xiu Yi was rted to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s powerful ability to bring goods.

    ¡°Let the Moon Bay project continue.¡± Xia Wanyuan flipped through the report and looked at Shen Qian.

    ¡°I¡¯m already preparing for the follow-up work.¡±

    The Moon Bay project was originally the first project that Xia Wanyuan had developed, but because of the earthquake in Lin Xi City, the entire city was in ruins. Now that the reconstruction work was about to end, the Moon Bay project should continue to be activated.

    ]After reading the report and exining some things to Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave.

    Xia Yuanqing¡¯s message was sent at this moment.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at it.

    <i>Xia Yuanqing¡¯s fiftieth birthday??</i>

    To be fair, other than Han Yuan, Xia Yuanqing did not treat Xia Wanyuan very well, but he was not bad either. In addition, everyone knew that she, Xia Wanyuan, was Xia Yuanqing¡¯s daughter. If she did not return for his birthday, it would cause another hugemotion.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and replied to Xia Yuanqing, ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the Xia family¡¯s vi, Xia Yuanqing looked at this ¡°Okay¡± and had mixed feelings.

    He looked at his son, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle beside him, and then at the empty house. He felt regretful.

    He could have had both sons and daughters, but he did not know where his son had gone. His daughter had thrown herself into the Jun family and he did not know what her life was like. Meanwhile, he stayed in this empty vi.

    Han Yuan had long disappeared. In recent days, she had always left early and returnedte. She was not as gentle and graceful as before. Xia Yuanqing was not stupid, so he naturally knew why this change had happened.

    Sighing, Xia Yuanqing called the nanny to take care of the child while he went out to find some wild mushrooms at the farmers¡¯ house in the suburbs.

    He remembered that when Xia Wanyuan was young, she loved to eat wild mushrooms and chicken stew.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan wasing to attend the birthday party, Xia Yuanqing was not the only one who was happy. Han Yuan was ted as well.

    ¡°Young Master Lin, our Wanyuan will be home tomorrow. You muste when the timees.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± There was loud music on Lin Qi¡¯s side, and one could vaguely hear a few women teasing him.

    Han Yuan hung up the phone, her eyes filled with smugness.

    In her heart, as long as Xia Wanyuan was tainted, regardless of whether she had given birth to a child for the Jun family, the Jun family would never let such a woman enter the Jun family again.

    Without the Jun family as support, wouldn¡¯t it be easy to deal with Xia Wanyuan?

    While Han Yuan was thinking about how to snatch the Xia Wanyuan from Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wanyuan had long known the contents of her call.

    Ever since she had seen Han Yuan in the hospital¡¯s Gynecology Department, Xia Wanyuan had sent someone to install a listening device on Han Yuan¡¯s phone. Now, all the contents of her conversation with Lin Qi had been transferred to Xia Wanyuanpletely.

    <i>Lin Qi??</i>

    The original owner of the body seemed to have such a person in her memory.

    Hearing Han Yuan¡¯s excited voice, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up.

    Since Han Yuan had prepared a huge gift for her, she would give her a gift in return.

    ¡°Ms. An, you¡¯re in such a good state when you filmed the advertisements today.¡±

    An Rao was just lying on the chair and preparing to rest when she heard an annoying voice behind her.

    An Rao rolled her eyes in her heart.?<i>This Bo Yi was really persistent.?</i>

    The two of them had recently coborated to film an advertisement. This man was talkative and long-winded. After filming the advertisement, he even liked to chat with her. Even a fool could tell what he was thinking.

    <i>What rich young master of the entertainment industry?</i>?An Rao scoffed. His character profile really blinded those fans.

    An Rao closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She could not be bothered with him.

    Seeing this, a look of determination shed across Bo Yi¡¯s eyes.

    In the industry, he was a yboy that everyone had a tacit understanding of. There were many actresses who worked with him, either because of his fame or because of his family background. Many people threw themselves into his arms.

    He had long heard that An Rao was known as Medusa in the entertainment industry. Now that he had seen her in person,

    she indeed lived up to her reputation.

    Seeing that An Rao was ignoring him, Bo Yi was not angry.?<i>Women were always putting on airs in the beginning.</i>

    <i>As long as the money was in ce, what could be a problem?</i>

    Bo Yi¡¯s explicit gaze swept across An Rao¡¯s curvaceous figure before he left.

    After being disgusted by Bo Yi, An Rao immediately left after filming. She did not want to see this man again, for she was afraid that she would not be able to eat tomorrow morning.

    They were both surnamed Bo, but the difference¡­

    ]An Rao could not help but think of the handsome figure that had broken through the fog on the deck.

    For the past few days, Bo Xiao had been busy with something and did not have time to y with her.

    An Rao wanted to look for him, but she was afraid of being misunderstood.

    Because of Bo Yi, An Rao suddenly felt that other than looking like a yboy, Bo Xiao was actually very reliable in many aspects.

    After tossing and turning on the sofa for nearly half an hour, An Rao finally sent Bo Xiao a WeChat message.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    An Rao waited for half an hour, but no one replied.

    <i>Sigh</i>. An Rao pursed her lips.<i>?I knew it.?</i>

    After returning to China, she specially checked what the young general represented.

    At such a young age, Bo Xiao¡¯s chances of sess were zero.

    An Rao knew that this meant that he would be especially busy.

    This time as well, she could not contact him for a few days.

    An Rao was bored. She picked up her bag and ran towards the manor.

    After hearing An Rao¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan sized An Rao up, making her scalp tingle.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and shook her head. As an outsider, she wouldn¡¯t get involved in matters of the heart. Let them understand it themselves.

    ¡°Sister, I think CEO Jun treats you so well.¡± An Rao leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling had actually rushed to Europe overnight because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s joke just to exin the misunderstanding.

    She had really never seen such a man. Furthermore, Jun Shiling was someone with such great power. He could get anything he wanted, but he treated everything about Xia Wanyuan as so important.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not deny that Jun Shiling treated her impably.

    ¡°Who is that little green tea b*tch? I¡¯ll help you beat her up. Who dares to steal my sister¡¯s corner? She should see how she looks like. How ugly.¡±

    An Rao had seen a lot of b*tches over the years. One look at that woman and she felt that she had the temperament of a white lotus b*tch.

    ¡°That¡¯s the granddaughter of my grandfather¡¯srade. She hasn¡¯t done anything to cross the line now. It¡¯s not convenient to touch her.¡± Xia Wanyuan had checked on Wan Rou.

    So far, she had not done anything. She had to give her grandfather face, and Xia Wanyuan was not petty enough to find her and pester her.

    ¡°Call me when you want to see her next time.¡± An Rao patted her chest. ¡°I¡¯ll help you settle her.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and took the box beside her. ¡°Try this shirt.¡±

    ¡°What shirt?¡± An Rao pulled the box over and her eyes lit up. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could say anything, An Rao took her clothes and went to the changing room to change.

    When An Rao came out after changing, she looked in the mirror with surprise in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful! Sister, don¡¯t tell me that you designed this yourself again.¡±

    ¡°Mm, if it looks good, take it. This is an experimental product.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the effect of An Rao¡¯s upper body. It was not bad.

    An Rao pounced on Xia Wanyuan and hugged her. ¡°Sister, if your husband wasn¡¯t so cruel, I would have snatched you away and we would be a couple. How can there be such a good-looking and amazing person like you!¡±

    An Rao thought that the charm on Xia Wanyuan was simply at the level of killing both men and women.

    Xia Wanyuan poked her arm. An Rao looked up. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, An Rao looked back and saw the imposing Jun Shiling standing at the door.

    His deep eyes were looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm.

    An Rao suddenly had a feeling that her ws would be gone in the next second. She hurriedly retracted her hand and hugged the box beside her.

    ¡°Sister, I still have to y the advancement round. I¡¯ll go back first. Bye, see you tomorrow.¡±

    With that, An Rao quickly slipped away.

    She had originally wanted to stay in the manor and eat meat before leaving. After all, An Rao¡¯s manager had been especially strict with her diet since she had been filming advertisements recently.

    However, in front of Jun Shiling, An Rao felt that the braised pork was no longer fragrant.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re so charming. You can kill both men and women.¡± Jun Shiling took off his coat and walked in.

    ¡°I can¡¯tpare to you. You have a bunch of childhood sweethearts andrades¡¯ granddaughters.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out and picked her up. ¡°You¡¯re always talking nonsense. Where did this bunch of childhood sweetheartse from? And thatrade¡¯s granddaughter, I¡¯ve only seen her once.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and poked Jun Shiling. ¡°So many rotten romances.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll settle it.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Since Jun Shiling had said so, Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to argue about this unimportant person.

    There were many people who liked Jun Shiling, and there were also countless rotten romances.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had never felt threatened or angry.

    Because Jun Shiling gave her sufficient sense of security, she did not think that these women would affect her at all.

    Xia Wanyuan took a card from the table and handed it to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Jun Shiling took it and looked at it.

    ¡°I¡¯m returning the 60 million you lent me back then.¡± At that time, Xia Wanyuan had just taken over the Xiafeng Group andcked funds, so she borrowed this money from Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling had long forgotten about this matter. After all, in his heart, he had never thought of asking Xia Wanyuan to return the money.

    However, Jun Shiling still took the card in the end. ¡°Thank you, Madam, for the allowance.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed out loud, causing Jun Shiling to lower his head and kiss her.

    ¡°Mommy, Daddy kissed you again.¡± There was no one in the living room just now, but a soft little dumpling had appeared out of nowhere.

    Xiao Bao opened his dark eyes and looked at Xia Wanyuan innocently. ¡°Mommy, I want a kiss too.¡±

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan with a dark expression. Xiao Bao jumped onto Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp and waved at her. ¡°Mommy,e here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head slightly, and Xiao Bao kissed her on the cheek.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened.

    t the same time, Wan Rou received an email.

    A document that was filled with Jun Shiling¡¯s interests and hobbies, as well as his assets.

    An address was attached to the back of the email.

    There was nothing else, but the meaning was obvious.

    Wan Rou counted the zeros in Jun Shiling¡¯s assets. After counting them a few times, her eyes were blurred, but she could not count how many there were.

    Looking at the address on the email, Wan Rou¡¯s heart beat like a drum.

    Ten minutester, Wan Rou walked out of the room.

    Old Master Jun was watering the nts in the courtyard when he saw Wan Rou preparing to leave. ¡°Xiao Rou, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m going to the library.¡± Wan Rou smiled at Old Master Jun gently.

    Seeing that Wan Rou¡¯s back was about to disappear at the door,

    Old Master Jun suddenly recalled how he had run with hisrades back then. The smile on his youngrade¡¯s face finally made him stop Wan Rou.

    ¡°Xiao Rou, didn¡¯t you go to the library that day? There¡¯s a boy who¡¯s the same age as you in the Jun family who¡¯sing to y today. He¡¯s also from Beijing University. Speaking of which, he¡¯s your senior. Why don¡¯t you stay and entertain the guest with me?¡±

    Wan Rou paused for a moment. In the past, she would have thought that this was a very good opportunity. However, after seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s ideal traits, she felt that other men were not worth her time.

    ¡°Grandpa, I have an appointment with my ssmate to study in the library. It¡¯s not convenient for me to miss the appointment.¡± Wan Rou looked at Old Master Jun awkwardly.

    ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Old Master Jun waved his hand.

    Wan Rou panicked and quickly turned around, afraid that Old Master Jun would see through her.

    Hence, she missed the disappointment in Old Master Jun¡¯s eyes.

    The door closed.

    Old Master Jun sighed. ¡°Forget it, let her be. Tell Ah Ling that he must restore Old Wan¡¯s honor. As for the rest, I don¡¯t care.¡±

    After leaving the courtyard, Wan Rou looked a little flustered.

    She had been an orphan since she was young. She was beautiful, and Old Master Wan did not admire fame and fortune. He also hoped that she could be a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune. However, when she saw those who were not as good-looking as her and those whose talents were not as good as hers having such a good life, she always felt a little resentful.

    She had been arrogant since she was young. Old Master Wan had been a diligent worker all his life, so she had never had the chance to enter the upper ss.

    In fact, Old Master Jun treated her very well, but a person like Jun Shiling was unforgettable.

    Now that there was a chance, she did not want to miss it.

    Thinking of this, Wan Rou steeled her heart and took a taxi to the address she had just received.

    Things like Wan Rou could not attract Jun Shiling¡¯s attention at all, but these things could not be handed to outsiders, so itnded on Lin Jing.

    Hearing the report from the earpiece, Lin Jing adjusted his sses and shook his head.

    <i>Why?</i>

    <i>Greed was really a scary thing. If Wan Rou could be more content, she could have had a pretty good future.</i>

    <i>Sigh.</i>

    <i>It was fine to fancy anyone, but to fancy a living King of Hell¡­</i>

    <i>He was even a living King of Hell who doted on his wife to the extreme and was afraid that his wife would suffer a little grievance.</i>

    Wan Rou took a car to the cafe mentioned in the email. In a small private room, a middle-aged man was sitting there.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Wan Rou¡¯s voice trembled, as she had never seen much of the world.

    ¡°Someone who wants to earn money.¡± The middle-aged man smiled until his face trembled. ¡°We know that you¡¯re living in Old Master Jun¡¯s house now. There¡¯s an old saying that goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. Miss Wan, do you understand what I mean?¡±

    ¡°Continue.¡± Wan Rou forced herself to calm down and listened to the man continue.

    ¡°We can help you be Madam Jun.¡± The middle-aged man cut to the chase.

    ¡°How can you help?¡± Wan Rou¡¯s heart raced.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. After the matter is done, we want a billion dors. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve seen how much assets Jun Shiling has. The actual situation will only be more and not less.¡± The middle-aged man counted. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely make a profit.¡±

    ¡°What do you want me to do?¡±

    ¡°The first step is of course to destroy Jun Shiling¡¯s wife.¡± The man smiled, looking sinister.

    ¡°Destroy?¡± Wan Rou was shocked by the cruelty in the man¡¯s eyes.

    She had thought of snatching Jun Shiling away, but she had never thought of harming anyone.

    The man seemed to have seen her hesitation. ¡°Think carefully. If this seeds, you¡¯ll have hundreds of lifetimes of glory, splendor, and wealth.¡±

    ¡°I¡­ Let me think.¡± Wan Rou bit her lower lip.

    After a while, the number on the email and the peerless Jun Shiling made her lose her rationality.

    Wan Rou¡¯s voice trembled. ¡°You need me¡­¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, the phone rang, startling Wan Rou, who was already flustered.

    Wan Rou picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, Auntie Li.¡±

    ¡°Hey, Xiao Rou, I heard that you went to university in Beijing. When are you going back to town? The money your grandfather left for you is still with me.¡±

    ¡°What money?¡± Wan Rou was a little confused.

    ¡°Your grandfather left you thirty thousand dors for your school fees. Your grandfather saved some money when he guarded the factory at night. Aren¡¯t you staying in school? He didn¡¯t say it because he was afraid that you would be worried about him. Now that you¡¯re going to university, it¡¯s time to return the money to you.¡±

    Auntie Li spoke for a long time, but there was no sound from Wan Rou. Auntie Li called out a few times.

    Wan Rou replied with a choked voice, ¡°Thank you, Auntie Li. I¡¯ll be back in two days.¡±

    ¡°Miss Wan, this is the n.¡± The middle-aged man handed a document to Wan Rou.

    Wan Rou stood up and walked out of the cafe with red eyes.

    Old Master Wan had gone to the battlefield many years ago and had suffered many cold leg injuries.

    Every time Wan Rou went home to stay, she would find that Old Master Wan¡¯s leg was swollen. She thought that her grandfather had caught a cold while sleeping.

    Unexpectedly, Grandpa had gone to guard the factory behind her back.

    At this moment, all the teachings that Old Master Wan had taught her since she was young seemed to havee from a hidden corner.

    Under Grandpa¡¯s actions, she suddenly faced her own ugliness and despicableness.

    Standing under the sunlight, Wan Rou¡¯s tears fell.

    Eighteen years ago, Old Master Wan had picked her up from the streets and given her her first life.

    Eighteen yearster, even though Old Master Wan had passed away, he had given her a new life.

    In the manor, after hearing the news from Lin Jing, Jun Shiling was silent for a moment before replying to Lin Jing.

    ¡°Ask her to move out of the courtyard and distribute thepensation that the country gave to Old Master Wan for five years to her.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    Jun Shiling hung up the phone and walked towards Xia Wanyuan, who was painting not far away.

    ¡°Baby, it¡¯s you, right?¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind.

    He did not have such patience. The n he had given Lin Jing was not like this.

    Furthermore, Old Master Wan had been poor his entire life. The money he earned from working had been used to pay Wan Rou¡¯s school fees and living expenses. Where did he get his remaining savings?

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°I only pushed her.¡±

    The choice was still with Wan Rou.

    ¡°Besides, in the end, it was Old Master Wan who pulled her back.¡±

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s indifferent expression, an indescribable feeling arose in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling rested his forehead on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan put down the brush in her hand, afraid that the ink would stain Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Why are you so good?¡± Jun Shiling seemed to sigh from the bottom of his heart.

    She had the most tenacious edge, but she also had the softest kindness.

    ¡°I¡¯m not as good as you say.¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling back. ¡°I¡¯m not a god. At most, I¡¯ll help them when I have the strength.¡±

    ¡°What about when you don¡¯t have any strength left?¡±

    ¡°When I have no strength left, it¡¯s enough to love you.¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up, and the rest of his words were drowned in the lips.

    Xiao Bao, who was ying Ultraman upstairs:?<i>I might be a fake son.?</i>

    In the house in the corner of the Wei family¡¯s courtyard, few people approached it originally. Now, it was even more deserted.

    ¡°My Lord, I¡¯ve found out that Xia Wanyuan has something to do with Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡± Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. If not for Jun Shiling, he would have squeezed into China¡¯s market long ago. This person had blocked China¡¯s market until it was like an iron te.

    He had territories in the entire world, even Continent M, except for China.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we bring Xia Wanyuan back to Continent F?¡± The new subordinate was a little rash. Yu Qian nced at him and the person immediately stopped talking.

    ¡°Continue to investigate Jun Shiling¡¯s identity and the ces he has been.¡± No matter how much information was sent, Yu Qian still had doubts about Jun Shiling¡¯s identity. The feeling this person gave him was not right.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    The surveince cameras of the Wei family were operating non-stop, but the people who entered and exited Wei Zimu¡¯s room did not leave any traces, as if no one had ever been here.

    ¡°Sister, I keep feeling that this Wei Zimu has been very evil recently.¡± In the long corridor, Wei Yang spat out a smoke ring and said to Wei Yu.

    Wei Yu had a habit of getting goosebumps when she heard Wei Zimu¡¯s name. In the surveince video that day, the scene of Wei Zimu standing in front of a group of colorful poisonous snakes with a smile was too scary. Just the thought of it was scary.

    ¡°He was originally quite honest. Do you think Xia Wanyuan led him to do something?¡± Wei Zimu had always been gentle and amiable over the years. Ever since Xia Wanyuan appeared, not only had the Old Madam changed, but even Wei Zimu had changed.

    ¡°Brother.¡± Wei Yu leaned towards Wei Yang. ¡°What if Grandma wants to reunite with Xia Wanyuan? Do you think Grandma will give her the position of the sessor of the Wei family?¡±

    Wei Yang stubbed out his cigarette. ¡°Her? That¡¯s impossible. She can¡¯t protect herself now.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Wei Yu asked again, but Wei Yang acted as if he was confident and refused to tell her no matter what.

    Looking at Wei Yang¡¯s smug expression, Wei Yu felt a little uneasy.

    Although Father Xia was not as poor as before, his 50th birthday was still grand.

    Han Yuan had thought that those people who had been on good terms with Father Xia in the past would feel that he was down and would note anymore. However, to her surprise, more people came than when Father Xia was in power.

    In the circle that Han Yuan was in, a group of richdies had mocked Han Yuan behind her back because of the Xia family¡¯s bankruptcy.

    Han Yuan was already filled with anger. Now, taking advantage of Father Xia¡¯s birthday, Han Yuan invited arge group of people.

    ¡°Madam Xia, you¡¯re so lucky.¡± A well-rounded madam walked over.

    ¡°Madam Wang, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling.¡± Han Yuan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. This Madam Wang was the person who had gossiped the most behind her back.

    ¡°Madam Xia, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Madam Wang nced at the decorations of the banquet and the smile on her face became more genuine. She then saw thetest limited edition bracelet from the C family in Han Yuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Hey, your bracelet is really beautiful. It¡¯s thetest one, right? I heard it¡¯s especially difficult to buy.¡±

    Han Yuan raised her hand, revealing the diamond ring on her hand. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I bought it through a special supply channel.¡±

    ¡°You have such a big diamond. CEO Xia is too good to you.¡± Thedies were all knowledgeable people. When they saw Han Yuan¡¯s clothes, they knew that the Xia family had recovered their strength. They immediately surrounded Han Yuan again.

    Han Yuan returned to the richdies¡¯ friend circle and was extremely smug. Just as she was chatting with thedies about jewelry, there was a suddenmotion at the door. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, a person walked in.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Young Master of the Lin family? Madam Xia, you guys sure have face. Even the Young Master of the Lin family is here.¡±

    In Beijing, where there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons, there were many rich and powerful people.

    However, not all rich people could be ranked in Beijing.

    The Lin family could be considered one of the top families in Beijing,

    Although it was not worth mentioningpared to the fewrge families in the core, in the eyes of others, it was still a level that was difficult toe into contact with.

    Lin Qi, the Young Master of the Lin family, had just returned from abroad a few days ago. Many people wanted to build a rtionship with them but could not. They did not expect to bump into the Young Master of the Lin family at the Xia family¡¯s banquet.

    ¡°Aunt Han.¡± Lin Qi nodded at Han Yuan. Instantly, everyone looked at Han Yuan differently.

    Even Xia Yuanqing did not expect the Lin family to send someone over.

    In the early years, the Xia family and the Lin family had a good rtionship. However, as the Lin family developed better, Father Xia could not look for them anymore. Otherwise, it would seem like he was hugging onto someone powerful, and their rtionship gradually became distant.

    Han Yuan threw away the group ofdies. ¡°Young Master Lin,e and sit in the house. Our Yuan Yuan will be here soon.¡±

    Amongst the people present, many of them who had grown up with Xia Wanyuan had colorful expressions on their faces when they heard Han Yuan¡¯s words.

    The news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rejection of Lin Qi¡¯s confession had spread throughout the industry.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was in the limelight in the entertainment industry, everyone knew that she was good-looking.

    Everyone could not help but wonder if these two people were going to renew their rtionship. No wonder Young Master Lin would attend the Xia family¡¯s banquet.

    Everyone was envious and jealous of the Xia family.

    That was the Lin family. The daughter of the Xia family had climbed up a high branch.

    However, Xia Yuanqing, who was standing in the crowd, had a livid expression.

    Lin Qi looked at the time impatiently as Han Yuan brought him to the main table in the house. ¡°Why isn¡¯t she here yet?¡±

    Han Yuan poured a ss of wine for Lin Qi. ¡°Young Master Lin, knowing that you¡¯reing, our Yuan Yuan is dressing up at home. It¡¯s been too long since youst met. She said she wanted to appear in front of you with the most beautiful image.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Lin Qi¡¯s eyes lit up.

    To be honest, in the beginning, Lin Qi was not interested in Xia Wanyuan at all. The Xia family was not enough in his eyes. Letting him attend this banquet was simply a fantasy.

    However,st night, he had been drinking with a group of brothers in the bar. Those people had always been used to ying with celebrities in the entertainment industry. Speaking of the top female celebrities in the entertainment industry nowadays, everyone had an amazed expression when they mentioned Xia Wanyuan. This piqued his interest.

    He spent some time on the Inte to check on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current situation. He looked at Weibo for five hours. After closing his phone, he contacted Han Yuan.

    He really did not expect that the infatuated and arrogant woman back then would be like this.

    Could it be as Han Yuan had said, that Xia Wanyuan had carved herself into her current appearance because of him? It had to be said that Lin Qi¡¯s vanity as a man was greatly satisfied.

    If the main table did not move, the other tables did not eat. Everyone in the banquet hall sat there and waited.

    Lin Qi was getting more and more impatient. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re lying to me?¡±

    ¡°How could that be?¡± Han Yuan hurriedlyforted Lin Qi. ¡°This is our Father Yuan¡¯s 50th birthday. She will definitelye. Don¡¯t you think so, Yuanqing?¡±

    Han Yuan used her eyes to signal Xia Yuanqing, but she realized that Xia Yuanqing¡¯s gaze was filled with disappointment.

    Han Yuan knew that Xia Yuanqing had already guessed her thoughts, but now that Lin Qi was here, Xia Yuanqing wouldn¡¯t fall out with her in front of so many people. Han Yuan ignored Xia Yuanqing¡¯s gaze indifferently.

    After a while, Lin Qi suddenly stood up and sneered at Han Yuan. ¡°No matter how beautiful she is, she¡¯s not worth waiting for.¡± With that, he pulled out a chair and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Don¡¯t, Young Master Lin.¡± Han Yuan was anxious to pull him back, but before she could touch Lin Qi, she realized that Lin Qi was stunned on the spot. Following Lin Qi¡¯s gaze, Han Yuan saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face that made her gnash her teeth in hatred.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple white T-shirt today. Her hair was draped over her shoulders and she did not put on makeup, but her graceful figure did not need any external decorations.

    Everyone¡¯s gazesnded on her. The noisy hall was now silent.

    Lin Qi, who was filled with anger just now,pletely calmed down when he saw Xia Wanyuan gradually approaching.

    Han Yuan gritted her teeth and stepped forward, squeezing out a smile. ¡°Young Master Lin, this is Yuan Yuan. Speaking of which, you two were childhood sweethearts. Come, sit. Yuan Yuan, we¡¯re waiting for you toe before we start the banquet.¡±

    Han Yuan stepped forward to hold Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan moved her hand away slightly and sat at the table. Lin Qi wanted to sit beside her, but he was stopped by Xia Yuanqing, who was silent.

    ¡°Young Master Lin, it¡¯s my honor for you to attend my banquet. Let¡¯s have a drink.¡±

    Lin Qi could not push him away in front of so many people, so he sat opposite Xia Wanyuan and stared straight at her.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xia Yuanqing¡¯s hand that was holding Lin Qi back and didn¡¯t speak.

    ¡°Alright, since everyone is here, let¡¯s start the banquet.¡± Han Yuan greeted like the mistress of the house.

    ¡°Wait,¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting quietly, suddenly said. ¡°I haven¡¯t given my birthday gift yet.¡±

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re so filial.¡± Lin Qi smiled at Xia Wanyuan. The people around him echoed Lin Qi¡¯s words.

    Xia Wanyuan handed an envelope to Xia Yuanqing, signaling him to open it.

    Xia Yuanqing nced at Xia Wanyuan, then opened the envelope.

    Inside was an expensive pension fund.

    Xia Yuanqing looked at Xia Wanyuan curiously, clearly not understanding what she meant.

    ¡°There¡¯s more behind,¡± Xia Wanyuan reminded.

    Xia Yuanqing looked back and his face instantly turned pale. He looked at Han Yuan with a gaze that was like an arrow.

    Soon, Xia Yuanqing put away his things. ¡°Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m celebrating my birthday today. Can we talk about thister?¡± He had a pleading look on his face, which had be even older in the past two months.

    ¡°Now you know that there are some things that have to be done ording to the asion?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes had a hint of mockery. Her gaze swept across him and Han Yuan. ¡°You don¡¯t do things ording to the asion.¡±

    After all, he could hook up with Han Yuan in the hospital.

    Xia Yuanqing¡¯s expression turned even uglier.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan nced at the screening staff on the banquet stage. On the screen that was originally filled with flowers, two high-definition photos appeared.

    Han Yuan took a look and her face turned pale.

    The two of them in the photo were extremely intimate. There was even a photo of them entering the hotel together and having an affair in the underground garage. Everyone was stunned as they finished looking at the picture on the screen. Then, they looked at the main character in the photo, Han Yuan.

    The other protagonist in this picture had mosaic, but as long as one was not a fool, they knew that this was definitely not Xia Yuanqing.

    Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanqing did not look surprised. It was as if he had known about this long ago.

    With the gift delivered, Xia Wanyuan stood up and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Let¡¯s end this.¡± Xia Yuanqing seemed to have aged ten years. ¡°Yuan Yuan,e with me. I have something to tell you.¡±

    ¡°Yuanqing, listen to me. It was forged by this little slut. I didn¡¯t.¡± Han Yuan pounced over to stop Xia Yuanqing, but she was pped to the side by Xia Yuanqing.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared the divorce agreement. Someone will look for you to sign itter.. You¡¯re on your own.¡±

 Chapter 579 - Princess Background

    <h4>Chapter 579: Princess¡¯ Background</h4>

    With that, Xia Yuanqing left the banquet hall. Xia Wanyuan followed him and entered Xia Yuanqing¡¯s study.

    ¡°I don¡¯t me you for what happened today.¡± Xia Yuanqing looked at Xia Wanyuan tiredly andughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°It¡¯s my retribution. In the end, I indirectly killed your mother. It¡¯s only right for you to avenge her.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Xia Yuanqing¡¯s attitude was a little strange, and his words were also strange.

    She watched Xia Yuanqing take out a box from the safe. Inside was an ultrasound picture. In the picture, a baby had already taken shape.

    ¡°? Who is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    Half an hourter, Xia Wanyuan walked out of Xia Yuanqing¡¯s study.

    She had thought that the original owner of the body was an ordinary person who had no mother and a father who did not like her. She did not expect that she was involved in so many things.

    If she was the original owner of the body, she might copse after hearing these things that had overturned her world for more than twenty years.

    However, as a person who hade from another world, Xia Wanyuan was like a bystander in these events. Her heart was not much moved.

    However, she felt a little emotional about theplexity of human nature.

    From the beginning to the end, Xia Yuanqing was not a bad person. However, because of his weakness and his many feelings, he still hurt so many people.

    Most of the guests downstairs had left. When Han Yuan saw Xia Wanyuan walk downstairs, she looked at her as if she wanted to swallow her alive.

    ¡°You little bitch, you harmed me!¡± Han Yuan picked up a wine bottle and rushed over. Xia Wanyuan easily kicked her aside.

    ¡°From the day you became a mistress, you should have thought that this day woulde. Besides,¡± Xia Wanyuan paused and thought of the rich man Han Yuan had recently hooked up with. ¡°You¡¯ve done it more than once.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan left the vi. Behind her, she could only hear Han Yuan crying loudly and begging Xia Yuanqing.

    Xia Wanyuan walked out the door, and the Phantom was still waiting by the roadside.

    Jun Shiling had apanied Xia Wanyuan here, but he did not go in. He read the documents outside and waited for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was not right, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.

    ¡°I think Xia Yuanqing is quite pitiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan seemed to sigh.

    He had been conflicted for his entire life, but in the end, it was all for nothing.

    ¡°He asked for too much. Naturally, this will happen.¡± Jun Shiling was not surprised by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden words.

    ¡°Did you already know that he wasn¡¯t my father?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and looked at him suspiciously. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have answered so naturally.

    ¡°I only found out recently.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Back then, he married your mother for money, butter, he wanted to ask for more. Now, he can only me himself for this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, but she was a little curious.?<i>Who was the original owner¡¯s father?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°What else do you know?¡±

    ording to her understanding of Jun Shiling, this person definitely knew more than her.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand paused, but it was only a small arc that Xia Wanyuan did not notice.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know anymore. Don¡¯t think too much. Be good and be your Madam Jun. What has anyone else got to do with you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and thought for a moment. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up as he tapped the tip of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nose. ¡°Why are you so cute?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned back into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.?<i>Forget it, let¡¯s not dwell on it anymore. Who cares who he is? Perhaps the original owner¡¯s father was long gone. Otherwise, why had they not contacted each other for so many years?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan no longer needed to worry about the Xia family.

    After knowing that Xia Yuanqing was not the original owner¡¯s biological father, Xia Wanyuan suggested returning the original market value of the Xiafeng Group to Xia Yuanqing.

    Regarding this, Xia Yuanqing seemed to be indifferent. He waved his hand. ¡°I took it from your mother in the first ce. If you take it away now, so be it. I don¡¯t need so much money anymore.¡±

    In the past, he had a wife and son. Now that his son was not his, why should he snatch back thepany?

    In that case, Xia Wanyuan did not speak further to him. She only doubled the amount of pension funds.

    As for Han Yuan, Xia Yuanqing was ruthless this time and divorced her directly. Seeing that pestering was futile, Han Yuan also disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight.

    After settling the Xia family¡¯s matters, Xia Wanyuan was so busy training her zither that she forgot that she had filmed a variety showst week.

    It was only when An Rao called to remind her that she remembered.

    It seemed like ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was broadcasting today. Coincidentally, Jun Shiling was working overtime in thepany and would not be back for a while. Xia Wanyuan turned on the television in the living room without worry.

    Then, she opened a bag of potato chips and a bottle of c, and watched the variety showfortably..

    At that moment, the video website had already exploded withizens. After all, the guests for this episode were too eye-catching. Everyone was too curious about the chemical reaction of these people together.

    Apanied by the familiar music of ¡°Endless Challenge¡±, a scene of mountains and rivers appeared in the camera. From somewhere, the mountain singing lingered.

    The camera changed and two familiar hosts appeared on the screen.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. Wee to ¡®Endless Challenge¡¯, which is broadcasted under the sponsorship of XX.¡±

    After the usual greetings, the host looked at his partner expectantly. ¡°Let¡¯s look forward to which guests wille today?¡±

    Then, the camera changed. Qin Cang was sitting in the car in a Tang suit, looking domineering. Although Qin Cang was close to fifty years old, he had taken good care of himself and was full of vigor. He was looking at the deer passing by outside the car window with old-fashioned sses. At that moment, the words ¡°big boss¡± floated on the screen.

    The next person to appear in the camera was Xuan Sheng. Logically speaking, the order of appearance for variety shows was usually based on celebrity status. However, as the big sponsor of the production team, Xuan Sheng naturally enjoyed special treatment. Xuan Sheng was wearing a ck shirt and leaning against the seat. The sunlight shone down, making the diamond ear stud on his right ear shine.

    [ I¡¯m going to turn into a screaming chicken!!!! Ahhh, Hubby, I can! ]

    [ So handsome!! This face!!! The immersion is too strong. I¡¯m CEO Xuan¡¯s little wife now! ]

    Then, Zhang Xuan, Lin Xuan, appeared.

    Lin Xuan, who had dressed up meticulously for the sake of recording the program, caused amotion the moment she appeared on camera.

    When Lin Xuan appeared, everyone felt a little strange. Because ording to her status, An Rao should be ranked ahead of Lin Xuan.

    When they saw the person sitting in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car, everyone understood that An Rao had squeezed to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s suggestion, because the intensity of the filming was greater today, An Rao was wearing a ck T-shirt and a pair of short pants. Even so, it could not hide her enchanting charm.

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan was much simpler. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a print of a rabbit eating carrots and a pair of ankle-length jeans. Her hair was tied up simply, revealing her elegant side profile.

    From a long time ago, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes were no longer hers. Most of the time, Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling¡¯s aesthetic standards.

    For example, this cute rabbit T-shirt. Xia Wanyuan could not understand why Jun Shiling liked her to wear these cute clothes.

    ¡°Sister, look, there¡¯s a white crane over there!¡± An Rao, who was sitting there and looking like a vixen, suddenly patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm excitedly.

    ¡°Sister! There¡¯s a river over there!¡± ¡°Sister! They¡¯re fishing. Let¡¯s buy some to roast tonight.¡±

    In just a few seconds, An Rao and Xia Wanyuan acted out what it meant to be as moving as a rabbit and as quiet as a virgin.

    [Um¡­ I want to join the cult¡­ I¡¯ll go to the corner.]

    [ I suddenly feel that An Rao is a little stupid, especially in front of Xia Wanyuan. ]

    Cars from different directions finally gathered at the foot of the mountain. Guests walked out one after another.

    Although Star Creation Entertainment came to exchange greetings, the production team still took the risk to film Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan more for the viewership ratings.

    Xuan Sheng slowly walked over. There was a casual smile on his evil face, but he was holding a thermos.

    [ Is this old cadre serious? ]

    [ This thermal sk has shown me something. Hahahahaha. ]

    An Rao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked into the camera. Thebination of extreme sexiness and extreme coldness actually had a magical chemical reaction.

    At this moment, the editing of the program was more intelligent. He photoshopped two flowers for the two of them, like two sisters leaning on each other as they walked over.

    ¡°Miss Xia, the Snowing in the Wind that you like.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, Xuan Sheng handed the thermos over.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, An Rao had already blocked the thermos. ¡°Thank you, CEO Xuan. Our Yuan Yuan doesn¡¯t like to drink tea.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was not angry. He took the teacup back and stroked the Buddha Bead in his hand.

    [ Hahahahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. An Rao is really like a mother who¡¯s afraid that her child will be carried away. ]

    [ I thought CEO Xuan will drink it himself. I didn¡¯t expect that it was prepared for Xia Wanyuan. My maiden heart! ]

    ¡°That¡¯s pretty sweet.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was feeding herself a potato chip when a voice suddenly came from behind, causing her to choke.

    Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, poured her a ss of water, and drank it before sitting beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and poked Jun Shiling¡¯s cold left cheek.

    Jun Shiling grabbed her hand. ¡°Naughty.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Jun Shiling, why do you like me to wear such cute clothes recently?¡±

    Jun Shiling turned to look at her. ¡°I like it.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, you still have a youthful heart.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the clothes with little cat ws printed on them and was a little amused.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the soft Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a cute T-shirt that waspletely different from her usual coldness. A smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re cute, that¡¯s why I want you to wear it.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m already so old. I¡¯m not a child. What¡¯s so cute about it?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed.

    ¡°You are.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.. ¡°Children are very cute.¡±

    Xia ¨C little friend ¨C Wanyuan smiled until her eyes curved. After two lifetimes and experiencing so many chaotic times and changing dynasties, she had finally be a little friend in the hands of others. Xia Wanyuan was somewhat touched.

    As the two of them spoke, they did not notice that the challenge on television was about to begin.

    Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to lean into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°The little kid wants to watch variety shows now. Does CEO Jun want to watch it with me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. He had specially not worked overtime and went home early because he wanted to watch the program with Xia Wanyuan.

    As the name suggested, ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was to obtain the keys to pass through all kinds of challenges and then clear the levels one by one. The first team to clear all the stages was the winner of the episode.

    After the program team divided them into groups, thements began to discuss enthusiastically because of the episode.

    [ Hahahaha, Old Mother An Rao is online. ]

    [ CEO Xuan treats Xia Wanyuan well. When he saw how unnatural Xia Wanyuan was, he suggested to team up with Qin Cang. ]

    [ I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s worried about Xia Wanyuan and An Rao being in the same team. These two people are so weak. Won¡¯t their results be at the bottom? ]

    However, ten minutester, no one in thements was worried about such a meaningless question.

    The first round was not difficult. Every group was designated an area. There were dozens of hydrogen balloons above the area, and each hydrogen balloon was tied with a small stic bag.

    ¡°There are fifty balloons above each group¡¯s heads, and only three of these fifty balloons contain the correct jigsaw puzzle. After everyone finds the jigsaw puzzle and puts it together, you will be able to get the address of the next round. Now, pleasee in.¡±

    After the host finished speaking, the four groups were brought to the corresponding venue.

    The balloons floated about 2.5 meters off the ground. They could not simply reach out and get the information.

    [ Is this a new segment?? Why haven¡¯t I seen this segment before? ]

    [ I guess the production team designed it for the guests who had a rare bnce between men and women in this episode. However, they probably didn¡¯t expect it to fail. Hahahaha. ]

    In Lin Xuan¡¯s team, Zhang Xuan had been an athlete before he became a singer. He had no pressure toward this. He was tall and had good jumping ability. Lin Xuan stood quietly beside him as a vase.

    There were no other props in the venue, but Xuan Sheng and Qin Cang had a long string of prayer beads in their hands. Xuan Sheng took off the prayer beads and raised his arm to ce them on the bag that was filled with documents. He could also pull the things down.

    [ I think Xia Wanyuan and An Rao are going to die. ]

    [ I already said that it¡¯s better for a male and a female to be a pair. These two people are skinny and it¡¯s very difficult to carry the other person. ]

    While thements were specting, An Rao had already squatted down and patted her shoulder. ¡°Sister,e on. Believe in my strength. I definitely won¡¯t let you fall.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao. ¡°Get up, there¡¯s no need.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Sister, do you have a way?¡±

    In the area where they were, there were some very small stones on the ground. Xia Wanyuan picked one up. ¡°Go and pick more of this.¡±

    ¡°This, is the stone too small?¡± An Rao looked at the small stone that was not even as big as a green bean. It could not even move the balloon, let alone break it.

    Furthermore, the production team had a rule that the balloon could not be broken.

    ¡°Go and pick it up.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not speak further and squatted down to pick it up herself. An Rao listened to her.

    Thements were also very curious about what Xia Wanyuan was doing.

    [ Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s going to smash things down with such a small rock. Is she dreaming? ]

    [ Perhaps she just wants to pick up more and wrap them together. Won¡¯t they be heavy then? ]

    [ The person in front, are you a genius!! Why didn¡¯t I think of that! ]

    At that moment, the other teams had already gotten a few stic bags with documents. The most team had gotten 15.

    Even if Xia Wanyuan and the rest finished preparing the stone bag at this time, they would definitely not be able to catch up to the others¡¯ progress.

    An Rao ced the small pile of stones she had picked up in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Including the ones Xia Wanyuan had picked up, there were about fifty stones.

    Everyone thought that they were going to find a piece of cloth to wrap the stone. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would hold the stone in her hand and walk to the side of the venue? It was as if she was looking for an angle.

    Just as everyone was curious about what Xia Wanyuan wanted to do and if she was wasting time, Xia Wanyuan suddenly flicked her wrist, and the stones in her hand flew out like stars.

    A shocked background sound was edited in.

    As the camera turned around, everyone could only see...

    Files floated on the ground.

    In the sky, fifty balloons were floating in mid-air.

    There was no vition of the rules of the game.

    However, the way they cleared the level shocked everyone and the audience.

 Chapter 582 - The Princess Leaves the Wall

    <h4>Chapter 582: The Princess Leaves the Wall</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    At that moment, the host of the production team was stunned.

    ¡°This, this, this¡­ Can this be done?¡± They had hosted a program for so long, but they had never seen anyone clear it like this.

    [????? Am I seeing things? ]

    [ Is she acting in a drama? Variety programs even have post-production special effects? ]

    [ It can¡¯t be special effects, right? After all, there are so many big shots around. There¡¯s no need for the production team to do this for Xia Wanyuan. Isn¡¯t this too fierce? ]

    ¡°Sister! You¡¯re too cool!¡± An Rao was already stunned.?<i>Could this be the storm pear blossom needles in martial arts novels?</i>

    ¡°Go and find those three pieces of the puzzle.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a calm expression as she asked An Rao to look for the puzzle with her.

    The difficult part was getting the folder. The correct puzzle was easy to find.

    Hence, not long after, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao brought thepleted map to the next scene.

    At that moment, the fastest in the other teams had only gotten twenty documents down.

    The scenery of the filming location was very good. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao walked slowly and even had the time to shop.

    ¡°Sister! There are fruits there. That one is very sweet.¡± As An Rao spoke, she ran into the bushes and picked a small bouquet of mulberries. The two of them shared and finished them.

    Someone was picking lotus seeds in the pond by the roadside.

    ¡°Sister, let¡¯s buy some of this when we go back tonight and stew it with chicken. It¡¯ll definitely be good. Can I go to your house to freeload? The manager won¡¯t let me eat meat for the next few days. I¡¯m dying of hunger.¡±

    An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and chatted as they strolled.

    [ If I didn¡¯t see the name of the variety show, I would have thought that I was on a tourist program. ]

    [ This style is a little strange hahahaha, but I like it. When An Rao and Xia Wanyuan yed together, the style was actually like this. It¡¯s so cute and loving. ]

    The two of them chatted as they arrived at the location of the second challenge.

    The difficulty of the second round was clearly higher than the first round. This was a routine program that was avable in every episode of ¡°Endless Challenge¡±.

    The two team members were divided into two groups. One was in charge of climbing up the eight-meter high mountain wall to get half the keepsake, and the other was in charge of going to Wen Yuan Pavilion to answer the questions. After answering ten questions correctly, one could get the other half of the keepsake.

    [ They should let Xia Wanyuan go and answer the questions. After all, she¡¯s a professor at Qing University. An Rao doesn¡¯t look like she¡¯s studied much¡­ ]

    [ But I think it¡¯s difficult for An Rao to climb up such a high mountain wall with her small body. ]

    While everyone was still guessing, the staff had already brought over the protective equipment.

    ¡°Who¡¯s going to climb the wall?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a step forward, and the staff tied the protective belt around her waist to prevent her from falling halfway up the mountain.

    ¡°Good luck, sister!¡± An Rao cheered Xia Wanyuan on, then walked towards Wenyuan Tower, looking very confident.

    At that moment, the members of the first round had basically passed. After everyone obtained the map, they were anxious to rush over. When they saw the contents of the mission card, they still felt lucky in their hearts.

    For things that were too professional like climbing mountains, the two girls might not be that fast. They might be able to catch up this time.

    Then, they looked at the mountain wall from afar. Xia Wanyuan, who was originally standing on the same spot, was like a butterfly that fluttered. She stepped on seven or eight thin branches of the mountain wall and flew to the highest point smoothly.

    ?????

    Not only were the guests and hosts stunned, but the staff were also stunned.

    <i>This isn¡¯t how the normal script works!??</i>

    <i>Shouldn¡¯t a woman spend a lot of effort to climb up a meter???</i>

    The camera lens recorded Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions in detail and disyed them on the television program.

    Xia Wanyuan first jumped directly, using one foot to support herself on the half a meter high pivot. Then, she jumped up a meter. This way, withyers of support, she jumped upyer byyer and easily reached the peak. It took less than ten seconds.

    The production team was clearly very considerate. In order to prevent the audience from saying that their video had been sped up, they even specially set a clock in the camera.

    [???? Is this the legendary roof climbing walls? I¡¯m confused. I suspect that I¡¯m watching a martial arts drama and not a variety program. ]

    [ Are you serious? I¡¯m asking seriously. I¡¯m stunned. ]

    [ Are you sure it¡¯s not special effects? I¡¯m starting to doubt my eyes. ]

    No one had expected Xia Wanyuan to get half the keepsake so quickly.

    Then, the scene changed. Something unexpected happened.

    An Rao walked out with the other half of the keepsake.

    An Rao¡¯s appearance, which was too rich in offensive power, made people feel that she was an ignorant and useless flower vase, so no one expected An Rao to clear the level so quickly.

    At this moment, the scene of An Rao participating in the question challenge was yed back.

    Generally speaking, the rock climbing aspect was rtively difficult. In order to match the difficulty of the rock climbing aspect, the question bank that the production team had given for this challenge was also at the level of ¡°Poetry Meet¡±.

    ording to past experiences, unless one was usually very knowledgeable and kept up with the times, it was still quite difficult to pass this round.

    Then, everyone saw in the camera.

    ¡°First question, which country is Confucius¡¯ ancestral home in?¡±

    ¡°Country Song.¡±

    ¡°The second question. Chinese New Year flowers are the same every year, yet people are different every year. Which poet wrote this?¡±

    ¡°Liu Xiyi.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the next sentence after a gentleman uses literature to meet his friends?¡±

    ¡°Uses friends to help others.¡±

    .........¡­.¡±

    Ten questions werepleted in less than twenty seconds.

    The screen is filled with ellipses.

    [ I originally thought that An Rao was a straw bag. I¡¯m sorry. To be able to y with Xia Wanyuan, she¡¯s indeed capable. ]

    [ Are these two immortal sisters? Is it really scientific to have such martial strength and talent? ]

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao used a total of twenty seconds toplete the game, breaking the fastest record since ¡°Endless Challenge¡± began.

    Furthermore, the second ce took two minutes.

    The other teams also only saw An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tails, then watched them go to the next stage.

    At that moment, the camera switched to Xuan Sheng. Under the sunlight, Xuan Sheng was focused on Xia Wanyuan, who was leaving. There was an approving smile in his eyes, and his handsome face caused thements to scream.

    Sensing that the hand on her arm had tightened, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling, then leaned over and kissed his face. The coldness on Jun Shiling¡¯s face instantly disappeared.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°You only know how to use this every day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled.?<i>As long as it works.</i>

    On the screen, Xia Wanyuan and An Raobined the two tokens and they received the mission for the third round.

    The mission this time was more difficult than the previous two times.

    The mission location was on an isted ind far from theke.

    <h4>Chapter 583: The Princess¡¯ Perfect Ability to Fight Scores</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had already left, and the remaining teams had just begun the second task.

    Zhang Xing was an athlete, so he naturally took the burden of climbing the rock wall. He handed the answering of the questions to Lin Xuan.

    In Qin Cang¡¯s group, Qin Cang was older, so Xuan Sheng naturally chose to climb rocks. Qin Cang, who was already passionate about country studies, went to Wen Yuan Pavilion.

    It had been too easy for Xia Wanyuan and An Rao to pass just now. Only when they saw the situation of the other two teams did everyone feel that

    This was the speed of a normal person passing!!!

    The rock wall and the ground were almost 90 degrees perpendicr, and the pivot on the rock wall was very short. It was only enough for the toes to step on it.

    Even Zhang Xing, who had once been an athlete, had to find a suitable support point to bnce his body. His climbing speed was extremely slow.

    Xuan Sheng had never liked sports, but he was young and strong. He kept up with Zhang Xing¡¯s speed.

    In Wen Yuan Pavilion, Qin Cang was passionate about national studies to begin with. Although he did not answer the questions as quickly as An Rao, he obtained the other half of the keepsake very smoothly.

    As for Lin Xuan, who had obtained a master¡¯s degree from a famous school, she stammered when answering questions. Three questions in a row were mistakes.

    Until Zhang Xing and Xuan Sheng returned from taking the keepsake from the rock wall, Lin Xuan still only answered one question correctly.

    Hence, the results that Xuan Sheng and Zhang Xing were originally on par with were forcefully pulled down by Lin Xuan.

    Qin Cang and Xuan Sheng continued to go to the next checkpoint, while Zhang Xing waited anxiously beside Lin Xuan.

    [ Emmmm, doesn¡¯t Lin Xuan often post articles praising herself as a master¡¯s student from a certain university? ]

    [ Haha, to think that in the blue cliff of the white deer, she actually said that it was Su Shi¡¯s poem. Iughed. Is this the standard of a master¡¯s student with a high education? This person¡¯s character setting copsed. ]

    [ Hahahahahaha, my heart aches for Zhang Xing. What sin did hemit to get such a teammate? How miserable. ]

    While Lin Xuan was still fighting with the ten questions, the camera changed.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were leisurely

    Roasting fish?

    [???? This scene caught me off guard. ]

    [ Hahahahaha, Xia Wanyuan dotes on her sister. One second, An Rao said she wanted to eat fish, and the next, the fish is on the shelf. ]

    At that moment, the production team clearly knew that the audience was curious about what had happened, so the time returned to ten minutes ago.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao arrived at the designated lone ind. This ind was not big, only about three meters in circumference. There was a pile of green bamboo on the ind, and other than that, there was only a bamboo knife.

    There was nothing else.

    The meaning of the production team was to let the guest make a small boat and row it ashore.

    Normally, the guests spent a longer time at this stage.

    After all, the distance from the ind to the shore was still very far. This meant that the boat that the guest had made must be tight and sturdy.

    It still had to amodate two people.

    Normally, it would take two hours for the two guests to seed together, and this was the fastest.

    Furthermore, sess did not mean that they could ride it sessfully. Many bamboo rafts looked normal after they were done, but they began to sink the moment people got on them. It was typical of them to be useless even though they looked good

    It was already noon, so the production team sent two boxes of lunch to the ind. An Rao was sitting with Xia Wanyuan and eating when she suddenly saw two fish swimming not far away.

    ¡°Wow!! Sister, look! There¡¯s a fish!!¡±

    Looking at the packed lunch in her hand, An Rao suddenly felt that the packed lunch was not fragrant. An Rao gulped. ¡°I really want to eat grilled fish.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the fish in front of her.

    The fish in the natural water looked quite tender.

    Xia Wanyuan put down her packed lunch, walked to the side, and sharpened a bamboo with a bamboo knife. Then she walked to the shore.

    At that moment, the fish that was leisurely swimming did not realize that danger was approaching at all and kept blowing bubbles.

    Xia Wanyuan looked in the direction where the two fish were swimming. She held the bamboo pole and waited for the fish to swim closer before suddenly attacking. The bamboo pole left her hand like an arrow.

    There was a ssh in the water.

    [ F*ck?? Is she fishing? ]

    [ It would be strange if she could poke it. She¡¯s not acting in a drama. ]

    While everyone was still discussing, on the screen, Xia Wanyuan had already raised the long bamboo pole. At the end of the pole, two fish were struggling.

    [!!!!!]

    [ Mommy asked me why I was kneeling and watching television. ]

    Xia Wanyuan threw the fish neatly onto the ind. ¡°Go and get some seasonings from them.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao hurriedly called for the staff through her earpiece.

    Facing such a strange request, the staff fell silent.

    <i>If they give, but they don¡¯t think there¡¯s such a precedent.?</i>

    <i>If they don¡¯t give, but it doesn¡¯t seem to vite their requests.</i>

    ¡°Aiyah, you guys are the best, okay? I¡¯m so hungry. Do a good job and give me some seasonings.¡± An Rao pouted at the staff.

    The staff:?<i>Yes! Of course!</i>

    As expected, she obtained all sorts of barbecue ingredients. An Rao skipped back to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan used the bamboo knife to cut a sharp bamboo piece. She used this bamboo piece to clean the fish¡¯s stomach cleanly. After scraping the fish scales, she washed it in theke beside her.

    After skewering the fish and scattering the ingredients, An Rao did not manage to borrow any fire. ¡°I¡¯ll get a lighter.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she rubbed the small wooden stick in her hand. The small wooden stick spun rapidly. The temperature in the summer was high to begin with. In less than three seconds, sparks appeared on the wooden board that had been rubbed. Xia Wanyuan grabbed a weed by the side and covered it.

    After throwing in some more dried branches, the fire quickly burned. The mes roasted the fish and emitted a sizzling sound.

    [¡­ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions are even more professional than those professional wilderness survivalists I¡¯ve seen. ]

    [ This movement is too nimble. Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan the pampereddy? ]

    [ I can¡¯t believe my eyes¡­ ]

    The fish had already been roasted, so Xia Wanyuan and An Rao calmly made the small bamboo raft.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan kill the fish so skillfully and start the fire, Jun Shiling was not as surprised as the others.

    He turned around and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw the obvious heartache in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°You¡¯ll get used to it after doing it a lot.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak and only kissed the corner of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes with great care.. ¡°It must have been hard on you.¡±

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skilled actions, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached.

    He naturally knew that practice made perfect.

    However, with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bearing and elegance, it was obvious that she had been pampered since she was young.

    What kind of situation would make Xia Wanyuan so proficient in wilderness survival skills? Jun Shiling did not dare to think about it.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s back as if tofort him. A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. She was the one who had suffered, but she turned around tofort him.

    <i>This person.</i>

    On the screen, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions of peeling the bamboo were straightforward. Not long after, a row of raw materials that were used to make the bamboo raft was cut at her feet.

    The production team did not give her a rope and she could not fix the scattered bamboo together. An Rao looked down at her wide T-shirt. ¡°Sister, use my shirt!¡±

    As An Rao spoke, she picked up the bamboo knife and cut open her clothes from her waist. With a tearing sound, arge piece of cloth was pulled down.

    Xia Wanyuan cut the fabric into an extremely thin cloth. The clothes were still stic and were perfect for tying the bamboo raft.

    An Rao tied the T-shirt that had been cut off at the waist, revealing an extremely white waist. It looked fashionable and sexy, and the half shirt did not look out of ce.

    [ I¡¯ve always felt that An Rao should be noble and cold. I didn¡¯t expect her to be hung up with such a stupid and passionate love. I love her. I love this figure even more. ]

    [ Reality has proven that thepletion of fashion mainly depends on the face. If my T-shirt is torn like this, others will definitely think that I¡¯m going to beg for food. ]

    An Rao looked at thements praising her happily. ¡°Oh my, my charm is still so great.¡±

    Patting the facial mask on her face, An Rao took a pillow and ced it on her back beforefortably watching the program.

    At that moment, her phone, which had been silent for a long time, rang. An Rao frowned.?<i>Who was so annoying to disturb me from watching the program?</i>

    Her phone kept vibrating. An Rao walked over impatiently and picked it up.

    The caller was Xiao.

    Joy surged out of her heart, but An Rao immediately suppressed it. ¡°What are you happy about?! It¡¯s been so long since I contacted you. Can you work harder?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± An Rao was still a little angry about Bo Xiao disappearing for four days.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been on a mission in Continent F for the past few days, and the signal on the battlefield is chaotic. I don¡¯t have time to y with you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s tired voice came from the phone, and the grievance in An Rao¡¯s heart quickly disappeared.

    ¡°Battlefield? Are you okay?¡± Thinking of Bo Xiao¡¯s profession, An Rao could not help but worry.

    ¡°Are you worried about me?¡± There was a smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s voice.

    ¡°Who¡¯s worried about you? Don¡¯t tter yourself.¡± An Rao continued to be stubborn.

    Bo Xiao smiled and did not continue asking. Instead, he changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯ll be back tomorrow. Is there anything you want?¡±

    ¡°Why would you ask others about a gift? There¡¯s no surprise at all.¡± An Rao pursed her lips. However, she did not want anything.

    It would be good if Bo Xiao could return safely.

    However, she held it in and did not dare to say it.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve never given gifts to anyone before. How would I know so much?¡± Bo Xiao said helplessly.

    ¡°You¡¯ve never given gifts to anyone? Who would believe you?¡± Bo Xiao looked like a yboy who had walked through a myriad of flowers.

    However, it was undeniable that Bo Xiao¡¯s words made An Rao very happy.

    ¡°If you want a gift, promise me one thing.¡± Bo Xiao reached out and switched off the television.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tear your clothes for no reason anymore.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s maic voice passed through with a hint of domineeringness. ¡°Your figure isn¡¯t good either. Who are you tearing it for?¡±

    ¡°Bullsh * t, my figure isn¡¯t good?! Bo Xiao, are you blind? You stared at me for so longst time because my figure isn¡¯t good?¡± An Rao was angry.

    This time, Bo Xiao admitted it directly. His voice suddenly became gentle. ¡°Mm, your figure is very good, so don¡¯t tear your clothes outside anymore, okay?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao, who was about to roll up her sleeves and argue with Bo Xiao, stopped.

    ¡°Why should I listen to you? Who are you to me? I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. The program is ending. Bye.¡±

    With that, An Rao hung up the phone, determined not to let Bo Xiao hear the embarrassment in her tone.

    Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Bo Xiao rubbed his eyebrows helplessly. He sat for a while and switched on the television.

    After hanging up the phone, An Rao sat back on the sofa angrily. ¡°Dog man, you¡¯ve ignored me for so long. Why are you interfering the moment youe back? Who do you think you are?¡±

    After grabbing the pillow angrily for a while, An Rao lowered her head to look at her bare waist strap.

    <i>I had to visit Xiao Bao every day, so it was not appropriate to dress like this. I should buy a belt that did not show my waist tomorrow.?</i>

    The belt was herst dignity.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to act was extremely strong, and An Rao was extremely cooperative. Soon, an extremely beautiful bamboo raft waspleted, and at that moment, Xuan Sheng and the rest were beginning to process the bamboo.

    As for Lin Xuan and Zhang Xing, they continued to study the ten questions.

    Half an hour passed and Lin Xuan still only guessed three questions correctly. She was still far from her target of ten questions.

    The production team felt that with Lin Xuan¡¯s standards, she might not be able toplete this round until the end of the program.

    Then, they specially turned on the green light and allowed Zhang Xing to help Lin Xuan answer the questions. The two of them wasted another half an hour before they barely obtained the token to clear the level.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had already sessfully gotten ashore and arrived at the final stage of the program.

    This round was set for the finale. The procedure was ratherplicated.

    At the top of a steel te that was twenty meters tall, equivalent to the height of a modern seven-story building, a wooden board stretched out. On the wooden board was a trophy.

    ¡°Now, there are hidden clues around you. Every time you find a clue andplete the corresponding mission, the steel te can descend by three meters. whichever team can use the least time to get the trophy will win.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the height. Every time it dropped by three meters, there would be at least six clues and missions to find. This was too much of a waste of time.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was not moving, thements waited quietly.

    [ I don¡¯t dare to casuallyment anymore. I¡¯m afraid that Xia Wanyuan will p my face. It hurts. ]

    [ Thisst round is so difficult. There¡¯s only a barend and a few trees. What clues can there be? ]

    Xia Wanyuan stood for half a minute before moving. She walked to arge tree and reached out to break off a branch.

    The cameraman looked at the branch that was as thick as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and the camera trembled silently.

    Looking up at An Rao¡¯s T-shirt, which only had half remaining, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and tore off half of her clothes from her waist.

    Outside the screen, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze instantly darkened, then his eyes were covered by a pair of hands.

    ¡°I was in a hurry.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s soft voice sounded by his ear. Jun Shiling reached out and took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand off. He nced at her waist on the screen and remained silent with a cold expression. However, he did not remove his hand from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    The audience no longer knew if they should look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist or her hand.

    Because the T-shirt was very wide, even if Xia Wanyuan only tore half of it, it was enough.

    Xia Wanyuan tore the entire piece of cloth into strips that were about half a centimeter long. She measured the length and saw that it was about the height of a steel te.

    Then, everyone saw Xia Wanyuan tie the broken branch to one end of the cloth. Xia Wanyuan gestured for An Rao to stand further away. Then, she held the cloth and branch and used her right hand to throw it to the highest point of the steel te with the weight of the branch.

    At that moment, the camera at the top recorded a magical scene.

    The branch that Xia Wanyuan had broken was in a semicircle, and she steadily held the trophy in the middle. Xia Wanyuan gently pulled.

    The entire trophy was pulled down. Xia Wanyuan shortened the line midway. The trophy was held by the tree branch and did not fall. It was steadily received by Xia Wanyuan.

    In addition to the time needed to make the tools, the entire process took

    One minute.

    The fastest record for this project was an hour.

    [??????]

    At this moment, there was nothing else on the screen except for dense question marks and exmation marks.

    The staff was stunned. Before the filming, the production team had made many assumptions.

    They had expected all sorts of possible situations, but they did not expect such a method to clear the level.

    At this moment, the camera pointed at the confused production team and the cameramen.

    [ Hahahahaha, seeing the confused faces of the directors, I suddenly feel that I¡¯m not that bumpkin. So the directors have never seen such a scene before. ]

    [ To be honest, if this wasn¡¯t a variety show, I would really think that this was a post-production video. It¡¯s too fierce. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s move stunned me. ]

    [ I just want to ask, did Xia Wanyuan really note from Shaolin Monastery? Mommy asked me why I was kneeling and watching the program. ]

    The production team discussed intensely for a long time before finally deciding to ept Xia Wanyuan¡¯s method.

    After all, she did not vite the rules, although the method of clearing the level was a little scary.

    However, the production team knew that the viewership ratings for this episode would definitely increase.

    As they had expected, before the episode ended, the trending topic was already wiped out by this program.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, An Rao¡±, ¡°Xia Wanyuan climbing the wall,¡± Xia Wanyuan Xuan Sheng, ¡°, ¡± Master Lin Xuan ¡°, and other trending topics upied everyone¡¯s attention.

    Like the audience watching the video, when theizens saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strange clearing operations, theirments were filled with question marks.

    A bunch of marketing ounts suggested that it was a question about the editing special effects, but after searching for a long time, they could not find any evidence.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s amazing aura also poked at everyone¡¯s love for cuteness.

    The seemingly noble and cold An Rao was as obedient as anything in front of Xia Wanyuan. Furthermore, she had never participated in variety shows in the past. This was the first time everyone had seen her in private, which was very different from her usual image.

    However, it had to be said that she attracted everyone¡¯s favor.

    The part where Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were still in the mood to roast fish when they were on a mission hit the nail on the head. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s grilled fish skills were especially good.

    Everyone silently swallowed their saliva as they watched An Rao eat the fresh and fat fish inrge mouthfuls. Even the grilled fish takeout at Beijing¡¯s barbecue shop had doubled from the previous day.

    The CP of the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡± was once again trending.

    From the moment Xuan Sheng held the thermos cup, to the way Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan, to the care he had for her, it triggered a heated discussion.

    The trending topic ¡°The Great Summer Pact¡± was about to climb to the top three.

    A trending topic appeared out of nowhere and suppressed the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡±.

    Jun Shiling was showing off his love.

    After the affectionate confessionst time, Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo had been silent.

    Until today, Jun Shiling had sent a photo without warning.

    A pair ofrge hands wrapped around a fair little hand.

    The caption: ¡°My little friend.¡±

    [?!!! Return me my domineering CEO ]

    [ For a moment, I thought I was blind and had seen the wrong person. I watched it three times before I dared to confirm that this was Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo. ]

    [ Jealousy blinded my eyes. As expected, once a man falls in love, as long as he really likes someone, he will be as childish as a kid. ]

    This was the first time Jun Shiling had publicly disyed his love on Weibo with his little wife. Everyone had zoomed in the photos a hundred times.

    However, he only showed a finger, so he could not tell who the woman was.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s poprity on Weibo was at a crushing level. When his Weibo post was posted, other than the trending topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan Clear the Challenges¡±, it steadily stayed on the trending topic.

    Other trending searches, such as the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡±, were steadily suppressed.

    Xia Wanyuan watched Jun Shiling post on Weibo and found it funny.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re so childish.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted and picked her up from the sofa. ¡°I want to film variety shows with you too.¡±

    ¡°Pat, pat.¡± Xia Wanyuanforted Jun Shiling habitually.

    ncing at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perfunctory expression, Jun Shiling gently pinched her waist, causing her to giggle.

    When Xia Wanyuan did not smile normally, there was a hint of alienation and coldness in her eyes. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and they were like stars.

    Especially when she was not guarded against Jun Shiling and only had dependence and smiles in her eyes, she was moving and unaware.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan and his eyes could not help but glow with starlight.

    At Glory World Corporation¡­

    The assistant watched his young master look at his phone excitedly for a while in fear. Suddenly, his expression darkened.

    Xuan Sheng touched the Buddha Bead in his hand and looked at the hand holding the picture. Disappointment shed across his eyes.

    ¡°Bring the food in.¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly looked up at his assistant.

    The assistant was shocked. ¡°Okay.¡± Then, he went to prepare food for Xuan Sheng.

    Speaking of which, it was strange. Xuan Sheng had never liked to eat since he was young. In recent years, he had even be disgusted by the smell of food. There was a time when he had to rely on medicine to replenish his bodily functions.

    Ever since a month ago, Xuan Sheng had been eating three meals a day regrly. He remembered it more punctually than anyone else, although he looked more in pain when he ate.

    The assistant brought the food in. Xuan Sheng wore his headphones and stuffed the food into his stomach. He only stood up when he had finished everything.

    ¡°Are those old farts here?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master. They¡¯re waiting for you in the meeting room.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Disdain shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes.?<i>I had been preparing for so long. It was time to close the. Did those old farts really think that they could mess with me just because I participated in a television variety show??</i>

    An Rao had not calmed down to do anything for the entire day. Bo Xiao had said that he wasing back today, but An Rao could not stop looking at her phone. There was no sign of a call.

    ¡°An Rao, where are you staying? Let me send you.¡± An Rao was standing in the parking lot waiting for her manager to pick her up. A ck sports car stopped in front of her, revealing Bo Yi¡¯s face.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± An Rao rolled her eyes after speaking. This Bo Yi was really a dog skin ster. During the day, when she was filming, he would grab the opportunity to chat with her. Now that he was off work, he still wanted toe over.

    ¡°Miss An, we¡¯re all colleagues. There¡¯s no need to be so restrained. Miss An, your clothes today are really beautiful. It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t match your bag. It¡¯s been hard on you to be my partner for so long. Let me give you a more suitable one.¡± As Bo Yi spoke, his eyes kept darting around An Rao.

    An Rao looked around. There seemed to be no one around, so she measured the difference in strength between her and Bo Yi in her heart.

    <i>Forget it, I¡¯m not Xia Wanyuan. I can¡¯t beat this lecher, so I should leave first.</i>

    With this thought in mind, An Rao ignored Bo Yi and walked to the side. Bo Yi drove the car and followed An Rao.

    ¡°Miss An, don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡­¡± Before Bo Yi could finish speaking, a silver-gray sports car in the distance suddenly elerated and drove over. Bo Yi hurriedly turned around, but he was toote. The car opposite knocked him over a meter away.

    Bo Yi was shocked. He got out of the car and saw that the front cover of the car had already caved in. He shouted angrily in front, ¡°How did you drive?!¡±

    The window of the silver-gray sports car was pulled open. When Bo Xiao did not smile, his expression was extremely serious. He nced at Bo Yi, who felt a little flustered for no reason.

    ¡°Get in.¡± Bo Xiao looked at the stunned An Rao.

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± An Rao pulled open the car door and sat in. Bo Xiao stepped on the elerator and the car quickly left the parking lot. When it passed Bo Yi, it swept up ayer of dust.

    Bo Yi was caught off guard and took a mouthful of dust. He hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve and watched the car drive away with jealousy in his eyes.

    He had chased An Rao for so long, but she had always pretended to be aloof.

    Now that she got into Bo Xiao¡¯s car so quickly, Bo Yi could not help but spit. ¡°Stupid b * tch.¡±

    The current him had an abhorrent look that did not match the image of a rich young master he had disyed in front of his fans.

    ¡°When did youe back?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao, who was exuding a cold aura. She felt that Bo Xiao was a little different from her little disciple, who chatted andughed with her every day.

    ¡°I just came back in the afternoon.¡±?<i>I wanted to give An Rao a surprise when I came back, but who would have thought that she would give me a surprise?</i>

    ¡°Oh.¡± The car was momentarily speechless.

    Half an hourter, the car arrived at An Rao¡¯s apartment building. An Rao nced at Bo Xiao. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go up?¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Bo Xiao suddenly stopped An Rao and took out a box. ¡°Gift.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± An Rao took the box and smiled.

    The joy on An Rao infected Bo Xiao, and his cold face finally warmed.

    A pair of fox-like eyes curved into a familiar arc. An Rao looked up and saw Bo Xiao smiling. Her ears turned red.

    ¡°Do you know of such an ancient saying?¡± Looking at An Rao¡¯s flushed ears, the smile on Bo Xiao¡¯s face widened as he slowly spoke.

    ¡°What ancient saying?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao in confusion.?<i>Why did he say this for no reason??</i>

    ¡°Have you heard of reciprocation?¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao meaningfully.

    An Rao suddenly realized that she had not bought a gift for Bo Xiao. ¡°I¡­¡± An Rao wanted to say that she would make it up to him next time.

    ¡°How about this? Treat me to a cup of tea and treat it as a return gift. I¡¯m tired from driving and a little thirsty.¡± There was a familiar smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s voice.

    <i>Thirsty??</i>An Rao looked at the bottle of mineral water beside Bo Xiao and fell silent.

    Seeing that An Rao was silent, Bo Xiao did not force her. ¡°Forget it, go up.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Xiao reached out to help An Rao unbuckle her seatbelt. ¡°Hiss.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s arm suddenly trembled and he frowned.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± An Rao was about to get out of the car but sat back down and asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Bo Xiao rolled up his sleeves a little, revealing a bandaged arm.

    ¡°This?¡±

    ¡°Those pirates were a little difficult to deal withst time. It¡¯s nothing, just a small injury.¡± Bo Xiao waved his hand and looked indifferent, but his brows were furrowed as if he was enduring the pain.

    An Rao suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt. After she returned to China, Xia Wanyuan had told her that with Bo Xiao¡¯s level, he shouldn¡¯t have participated in such a rescue. To arge extent, Bo Xiao was there to save her.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you go upstairs and have some tea before leaving?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m a little tired from driving.¡± Bo Xiao got out of the car and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    As someone who had never watched military news, An Rao naturally did not know that the rescue mission this time was highly praised by the officials because of ¡°zero casualties and zero losses¡±.

    He swaggered into the apartment with An Rao. Bo Xiao looked at An Rao¡¯s house. It was unexpectedly simple and he could see many traces of the owner¡¯s life.

    ¡°What do you want to drink? Tea or beverage?¡± Before Bo Xiao could reply, An Rao had already walked away. ¡°You¡¯re injured, so you should drink tea.¡±

    The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up. He stepped forward and looked at An Rao¡¯s fridge. It was actually stuffed full of fruits and vegetables. It did not look like An Rao¡¯s fridge.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± An Rao walked over and saw Bo Xiao staring at his fridge. ¡°Are you hungry? There¡¯s chocte in the fridge. Do you want it?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat chocte. It¡¯s noon. It¡¯s time to eat, right?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes clearly said that she had to keep him for lunch.

    ¡­¡± An Rao was speechless.?<i>This person really knew how to climb up the pole. He had agreed to drink a ss of water, but now he wanted to freeload.?</i>

    ¡°Order takeout.¡± An Rao handed the teacup to Bo Xiao and prepared to call the takeout shop.

    ¡°I¡¯m not eating takeout. You make it.¡±

    ¡°???? Bo Xiao, are you crazy?¡± An Rao was furious.?<i>Is this person ordering me around like a nanny??</i>

    ¡°Then it¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll cook,¡± Bo Xiao said as he took out the vegetables and meat from the fridge. Because his arm was injured, his hand trembled a little when he took the meat.

    As she watched Bo Xiao bring a pile of food into the kitchen, the tap was running. An Rao gritted her teeth.

    Thinking of the handsome figure that walked over in despair that day,

    An Rao had to think for a long time before she could barely use the image of her savior to cover the image of Bo Xiao, who was now like a master.

    ¡°Just treat it as repayment!¡± After An Rao finished her thoughts, she thought of Bo Xiao¡¯s arm and walked into the kitchen. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t do it anymore. Let me do it.¡±

    Then, she saw Bo Xiao sitting calmly on the kitchen chair. The tap was open and water was flowing.

    ¡°Dog man, you lied to me again!¡± It turned out that this person had expected her to be soft-hearted and had specially waited for her here!

    Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes curved up. ¡°I¡¯ve already taken out the things. If you don¡¯t do it, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± With that, he wanted to get up.

    An Rao rolled her eyes in her heart and practically shouted at Bo Xiao, ¡°Sit!¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled and sat back on the chair. He watched as An Rao put on her apron and began to busy herself.

    The impression An Rao had in front of others was that she looked like a flirtatious slut who would scam her sugar daddy of hundreds of thousands of dors.

    However, in fact, An Rao¡¯s food was quite good. It was just that her manager was usually strict. Other than sds, she only ate sds every day and was toozy to spend time cooking.

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao, who was chopping vegetables with her head lowered. The setting sun shone through the window and blurred her figure.

    Bo Xiao seemed to have returned to when he was very young.

    He lived with his mother. When his mother was in a normal state of mind, she would make some delicious food for him.

    At that time, the little him was squatting in the kitchen, enjoying the gentleness that his mother asionally showed.

    Ever since he was five years old, this situation had never happened again. There was only constant hysteria and roaring, as well as her endless tearing and arguing with Bo Qing.

    However, the image of his mother asionally cooking for him in the setting sun had be the deepest definition of warmth in his heart.

    After cutting the vegetables, An Rao turned around and saw Bo Xiao¡¯s gaze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± An Rao waved at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± The figure in his memory suddenly dissipated. An Rao¡¯s bright face was in front of him. Bo Xiao smiled and stood up. ¡°What do you need me to do?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t your hand injured? Go and rest.¡± An Rao was afraid that Bo Xiao would hurt his hand and still lean on her.

    As if seeing through An Rao¡¯s thoughts, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes had a smile. ¡°I know how to cook. I¡¯ll do it in the future.¡±

    With that, Bo Xiao went to the living room, leaving An Rao standing there with her heart pounding.

    <i>What did this man mean??</i>

    An Rao finished cooking with mixed feelings. ¡°It¡¯s time to eat.¡±

    An Rao shouted towards the living room and suddenly felt a little strange.?<i>Why did it look so much like how my parents interacted?</i>

    ¡°Coming.¡± Bo Xiao threw down his phone and entered the kitchen to help bring the dishes out.

    Sitting at the dining table, Bo Xiao reached out with his chopsticks and tasted a piece of meat. A smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±

    An Rao lowered her head quietly.

    The food on the table emitted waves of hot air that burned her face.

    After the meal, Bo Xiao very consciously took away the cutlery. Hearing the sound of the dishes being washed in the kitchen, An Rao¡¯s heart was in turmoil.

    <i>How did this happen?</i>

    An Rao¡¯s mind was filled with a lot of things, so she did not notice that Bo Xiao had alreadye out of the kitchen.

    ¡°You¡¯vee back to your senses.¡± Bo Xiao waved his hand in front of An Rao. ¡°I¡¯ve already scrounged for food. Let me sleep here too.¡±

    ??

    An Rao¡¯s eyes widened. She was shocked by Bo Xiao¡¯s magical thinking. ¡°Dream on.¡±

    The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep for a few hours. I have to leave at midnight.¡±

    He had originally nned to return to China for a few days, but just as he arrived at the Beijing airport, Continent F called him. It had been too chaotic over there recently, as if someone had deliberately provoked friction between the countries. He had to go back.

    He had already turned around to return to Continent F when he saw the wallpaper on his phone. He had to apply to the higher-ups for a few hours before he coulde to An Rao for a meal.

    An Rao was speechless for a moment, but the strange atmosphere between her and Bo Xiao still made her stubborn. ¡°No, leave quickly.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Bo Xiao sighed.

    At that moment, being close, An Rao saw the fatigue in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. She watched as Bo Xiao slowly walked out the door and was about to disappear.

    ¡°Wait a minute.¡± An Rao¡¯s heart softened.

    A smile shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. He turned around and walked back into the house. Hey on the sofa without acknowledging the unfamiliarity. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep for a while.¡± Then, he closed his eyes.

    He had retired from Continent F¡¯s battlefield and rushed back without stopping. He had not slept for too long and was already very tired.

    Soon, Bo Xiao fell asleep. An Rao squatted beside him and watched him for a while. Then, she got up and went to the bedroom to get a nket and covered Bo Xiao with it.

    The moon was high in the sky, and the traffic outside the window was already very sparse. Bo Xiao opened his eyes amid the fragrance that lingered in his nose and looked at his phone. It was half-past eleven in Beijing.

    Bo Xiao lifted the nket. It was An Rao¡¯s scent.

    At this moment, An Rao came over with a bowl of noodles, looking a little awkward. ¡°Thank you for your gift. Eat this before you leave.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at the pile of beef in his bowl and his eyes lit up.

    The fragrance of the noodles lingered in the room, and the light cast a warm glow on the two of them.

    Bo Xiao took the bowl and chopsticks and finished the noodles. An Rao watched him eat from the side.

    The room was silent.

    The clock gradually pointed to midnight. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Bo Xiao washed the dishes and smiled at An Rao.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Just as Bo Xiao was about to leave, An Rao walked into the bedroom and pinched something.

    An Rao stuffed the things into Bo Xiao¡¯s pocket. ¡°Bye, be careful.¡±

    Looking at An Rao¡¯s awkward expression, Bo Xiao was a little amused. ¡°I¡¯ve been busy these few days. When I have time, I¡¯ll y games with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao nodded.

    Bo Xiao gave An Rao onest deep look, then pushed open the door and left.

    When they got into the car downstairs, Bo Xiao took out the thing in his pocket.

    It was a red string with a ck bead on it. There was a Buddhist seal on it.

    Bo Xiao knew what it was.

    This was the famous Peace Pearl of the Kingdom Protector Temple outside the city. It had been blessed and was specially used to ensure the safety of people.

    Bo Xiao stroked his Buddha beads a few times and suddenly smiled. He called An Rao.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you leave something behind?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Goodnight, An Rao.¡±

    It was clearly a very normal conversation, but in the darkness, it was like a ball of fire that burned their hearts.

    After hanging up the phone, An Rao¡¯s heart was itchy and numb. She did not have the mood to sleep at all. She wanted to find someone to share her current mood, but when she looked at the time, it was already past midnight.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s habits, she must have fallen asleep long ago.

    However, she did not expect Xia Wanyuan to send her a WeChat voice message.

    ¡°Hey, sister, how did you know I didn¡¯t sleep!¡± An Rao was shocked.?<i>Could it be that Xia Wanyuan could not only be good at literary and martial, but also fortune-telling? She was really amazing.</i>

    ¡°Because Bo Xiao is back.¡± Xia Wanyuan quickly answered.

    Bo Xiao would definitely look for An Rao when he returned. It would be strange if An Rao could sleep.

    ¡°¡­¡± It was An Rao¡¯s turn to stop talking. After a while, she thought of something. ¡°But why didn¡¯t you sleep at this time? Where¡¯s CEO Jun? Didn¡¯t he apany you?¡±

    Hearing An Rao mention Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was furious.

    In the afternoon, she wore the rabbit¡¯s headdress to y games with Xiao Bao. When she returned to the bedroom, she had forgotten to take it off. In the end, Jun Shiling saw it and insisted that she had done it on purpose.

    He used this as an excuse to fool around with her for a few hours.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had gone too far. This time, he was not allowed to enter the room no matter what, but without Jun Shiling by her side, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep, so she called An Rao.

    ¡°Ignore him. y games? You haven¡¯t gone to King, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan switched on King of Glory.

    ¡°Okay, okay! Sister, take me flying!¡± An Rao hurriedly started the game.

    In the living room, the servants had already gone to sleep. Jun Shiling was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas.

    After his previous two experiences, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan would definitelye out to look for himter.

    However, after an hour, there was no movement in the master bedroom.

    Jun Shiling got up and went upstairs. He stood at the door and listened. The game announcement ¡°Five Peerless¡± came from inside.

    ¡°.......¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly had the idea of buying King of Glory.

    <i>Why do you open the server in the middle of the night? You¡¯re hurting people.?</i>

    Jun Shiling stood at the door for more than ten minutes. He heard the constant sounds of games and An Rao¡¯s asional cheers. In the end, he went to the guest room next door.

    Reality proved that An Rao¡¯s ck hole in the game was not something that ordinary people could patiently guide.

    After two hours of fighting, Xia Wanyuan finally sighed. ¡°Bo Xiao is really patient to bring you to Starlight.¡±

    Looking at the time, it was already two in the morning. Xia Wanyuan quit the game. ¡°I¡¯m not ying anymore. Let¡¯s sleep.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao yawned.

    Xia Wanyuan put down her phone, pushed open the door, and went out to look at the living room downstairs.

    No one.

    Xia Wanyuan carefully pushed open the door to the guest room. Under the dim light, Jun Shiling quietly fell asleep.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over gently. Just as she sat on the bed, Jun Shiling hugged her.

    He had always been alert. When Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door, he woke up.

    ¡°I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan yed games for a while and her anger subsided.

    ¡°Mm, sleep.¡± The nket was already warm, so Jun Shiling took the opportunity to lie on the bed with Xia Wanyuan in his arms.

    At three o¡¯clock in the morning, Bo Xiao¡¯s ne had already crossed the border of China and was heading towards Continent F.

    At the same time, a ne from Continent F flew towards China.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan woke up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and saw that the window was drenched by the rain.

    Beijing had always had little rain. It had rained a few times in the summer this year.

    Jun Shiling, who had woken up and finished reading a few proposals on the bed, saw Xia Wanyuan open her eyes and went to get her clothes.

    Jun Shiling had left many marks on her neckst night, so he specially took a silk scarf and tied it around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck.

    ¡°Are you going to the China Go club today?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She had already agreed with Li Yi to visit the association today.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you there. Call me when you¡¯re done. I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± It was raining, and Jun Shiling was worried.

    ¡°Got it.¡±

    At that moment, everyone in the China Go Club had already woken up early. The courtyard of the Go Club was filled with people.

    However, everyone¡¯s expression was very heavy.

    ¡°Mr. Liu.¡± Li Yi stood at the front and looked at Elder Liu with reluctance.

    ¡°Learn from the new teacher properly.¡± Elder Liu was wearing a white Tang suit as he stood at the door to say goodbye to everyone. Rain dripped from the roof, drenching the corners of his clothes and the corners of his eyes.

    Elder Liu looked around the courtyard that he had lived in for more than twenty years. He looked at the disciples he had raised himself and finally sighed. ¡°I¡¯m old. I can¡¯t take care of you anymore.¡±

    Everyone had been with Elder Liu for so long and were like father and son. Now, seeing him like this, the eyes of the group of men turned red.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s almost nine o¡¯clock. Why are you still dawdling? Aren¡¯t you going to train? What are you waiting for?¡± The new coach, Jack, walked in from the door and nced at Elder Liu disdainfully, urging the people in the courtyard.

    The chess yers looked at Jack angrily.

    It was this external support coach who had squeezed out Old Liu, who had apanied them for more than twenty years.

    Seeing that everyone was rooted to the ground, Jack frowned.<i> This group of Chinese was really difficult to control. </i>

    <i>It was fine if their skills were bad, but they were all arrogant. If not for the fact that China had given me a lot of money, I would not havee here.</i>

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going in?! I¡¯ll count to three. If you don¡¯t go in, you¡¯ll be punished to stand in the rain collectively.¡± Jack had just taken up the position and was about to establish his might for himself. He did not expect the opportunity to knock on the door so quickly.

    ¡°1, 2, 3. Alright, if you like to stand, stand still,¡± Jack said and gestured for the staff to turn off the rain shelter in the courtyard.

    The heavy rain instantly sshed on the Go yer.s

    ¡°What are you doing? Are you going to be responsible for them catching a cold?¡± Elder Liu was about to leave when he saw how his children were treated. He trembled in anger.

    ¡°Mr. Liu, you¡¯re no longer a teacher of the Go team. Outsiders are not allowed to stay here. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate for you to criticize me here?¡± Jack nced at Elder Liu disdainfully.

    <i>How could a person who had never even won a world championship before be on the Go team for so many years? </i>

    Jack looked down on Elder Liu, so he naturally had the capital to be arrogant. From the age of fifteen, he had stood out on the world stage and won countless prizes.

    This time, the Chinese officials had specially spent arge sum of money to invite this person to China. They had used an extremely high sry and excellent treatment to keep him.

    ¡°What are you so proud of?!¡± Li Yi couldn¡¯t help but scold when he saw his teacher being mocked. ¡°You¡¯re just a world champion.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s all?¡± Jackughed disdainfully. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the masterpetition. Does anyone in your group deserve to be crowned? If there¡¯s one, I¡¯ll give you the position of the head coach now.¡±

    Everyone fell silent in the rain. They were inferior and felt extremely aggrieved.

    At that moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.

    Everyone present, even though they were all dying of old age fifty yearster, the scene of them seeing Xia Wanyuan for the first time was still vivid in their minds.

    It was already a little gloomy on a rainy day. The courtyard of the Go Club was a building with an ancient style. There were carved doors and eaves.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a green dress and a light-colored scarf around her neck. She held a bamboo umbre.

    Just like that, she walked in the rain with cold eyes. Standing under the ancient roof, one could not help but guess if she was a nobledy from ancient times.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect to see this when she pushed open the door. She put away her umbre and stood at the door.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Li Yi saw Xia Wanyuan and wiped the rain off his face. He walked to Xia Wanyuan, afraid that the water on his body would stain her, and stopped two meters away from her.

    ¡°The chess club doesn¡¯t allow outsiders to enter or leave! Who are you? Get out!¡± Although Jack was also shocked by how exquisite the Eastern woman looked, the most important thing now was to establish his might.

    ¡°She¡¯s not an outsider. She¡¯s here to join the association,¡± Li Yi said to Jack seriously.

    ¡°Her? Enter the association?¡± Jack found it funny.

    Although in his eyes, the members of the China Go Club were all useless, they were at least professionals. The woman in front of him looked as exquisite as a doll. Furthermore, she was dressed in branded clothes, so how did she look like she knew how to y chess?

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Li Yi looked at Jack with certainty. ¡°Since you¡¯re the head coach now, you¡¯re in charge of epting her.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Jackughed and walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Little sister, this is not a ce for you to y.¡±

    ¡°How can I join the association?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked, her voice even lighter than the drizzle.

    ¡°Enter the association? You? That¡¯s impossible.¡± Jack did not believe that this woman could enter the Go Association at all. Furthermore, she seemed to be someone brought over by Li Yi, this thorn, so it was even more impossible for her to enter.

    ¡°Really?¡± Xia Wanyuan shook the water on the umbre. ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Because you don¡¯t have skills. Do you see that? You¡¯re the same as that man. Without skills, you don¡¯t deserve to stay in this ce.¡± Jack pointed at Elder Liu, who was standing beside him.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the white-haired Elder Liu, then looked at Jack. Although Jack was 1.9 meters tall, Xia Wanyuan stood in front of him and made people feel that his aura was suppressed by Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly and waved at Li Yi. ¡°Do you have to choose the yer from the Go Association for the Master Competition you mentionedst time?¡±

    ¡°No need. That is global, but amateurs need to be tested online. They can only enter the preliminaries after passing the test.¡± Li Yi exined to Xia Wanyuan in detail.

    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up the umbre. ¡°I won¡¯t be joining this association for the time being. Maybe a whileter.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s too funny. Miss, do you know what the masterpetition means?¡±

    Jack, who had listened to Xia Wanyuan and Li Yi¡¯s conversation, was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s casual tone.

    As the champion of the World Go Competition, he had participated in several Masterspetitions. In the end, he did not even make it to the finals and was eliminated midway.

    There were truly experts everywhere. No world champion would have such a matter-of-fact tone like this woman in front of him.

    <i>Should I call the Chinese naive or ignorant??</i>

    ¡°No matter what it means, I just want to remind you not to be too ruthless. It will backfire.¡± Now, she was not a member of the association and did not have the right to interfere in other people¡¯s matters. After saying this, Xia Wanyuan held the umbre and left.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan disappear into the rain again, everyone still felt that it was a little unreal.

    ¡°Go to Qing University.¡± Xia Wanyuan came over with an umbre, opened the car door, and sat in.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    The rain grew heavier. In the continuous rain, Xia Wanyuan looked at the rain outside the window.

    However, she realized that this path was different from the one she had taken when she arrived.

    Thinking of something, Xia Wanyuan did not show it on her face, but a warning light had already lit up in her heart.

    Xia Wanyuan quietly pressed on her phone a few times and said, ¡°I left something at the chess club.. Let¡¯s go back the way we came.¡±

    ¡°Okay, but the car is out of gas. I¡¯ll drive the car to the gas station in front and add gas before we turn around,¡± the chauffeur replied calmly.

    In the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was having a meeting when he suddenly received a message from Xia Wanyuan.

    There was nothing on the message except a few chaotic letters. Jun Shiling nced at them and stopped the meeting.

    ¡°Young Master, our connection with Madam has been severed.¡± Normally, Jun Shiling had arranged for people to protect Xia Wanyuan in the dark.

    Jun Shiling calmly gave a few orders and went downstairs.

    ¡°Young Master, where are you going?¡± The chauffeur panicked when he saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. He was about to open the car door for Jun Shiling when he sat in the driver¡¯s seat.

    In an instant, the car sped out of the parking lot.

    In the car that was driving at a constant speed, Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window. It was getting more and more off-center.

    Xia Wanyuan took a bottle of water and was about to drink it when the car crossed a waterhole. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand trembled and the car cover flew to the driver¡¯s seat.

    The chauffeur took a look.

    ¡°Sir, continue driving. I¡¯ll pick it up myself,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she stood up.

    At that moment, the rain was getting heavier. The car was driving past a waterhole. The chauffeur was focused on the steering wheel and was caught off guard by the cold wind in his ears. He reacted quickly and dodged to the side.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current physical fitness was no longer as weak as it was three months ago. Xia Wanyuan moved faster than him, and her slender and tall heels were suddenly knocked on the chauffeur¡¯s temples. At the same time, Xia Wanyuan used her hand as a knife to knock the back of his head.

    The chauffeur lost consciousness instantly. Xia Wanyuan held the steering wheel with one hand and pushed the chauffeur to the front passenger seat with the other.

    Themotion was transmitted back through the voice transmission device on the chauffeur.

    Thirty secondster, Xia Wanyuan saw several cars appear not far away. Looking at the direction they were going, she was the target.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s driving skills were already very proficient. On the muddy road, the wheels suddenly changed directions. Xia Wanyuan drove on the national road based on her impression.

    The car behind her chased relentlessly, but Xia Wanyuan was extremely fast. The people behind could not catch up.

    Bang! Bang! Bang! A few shotsnded on the car and even the tires. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened, trying her best to control the car¡¯s direction.

    However, she did slow down.

    Seeing that the cars behind her were getting closer, Xia Wanyuan opened the roof of the car and took out something from under the seat.

    Then, she stood up and fixed her direction with one foot on the steering wheel.

    Rain rustled down, blurring one¡¯s vision, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were extremely sharp.

    The people behind clearly didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly appear. Before they could react,

    The bullet had already passed through the ss in front of the car and hit the driver. The car behind instantly lost control and collided.

    At the same time, the sound of a helicopter could be heard in the rain.

    ¡°Terminate the operation.¡±

    An order came from the earphone. These people hurriedly abandoned the car and fled, but the police cars that had arrived quickly had already surrounded them.

    Xia Wanyuan heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down. She stopped the car. Not far away, the Phantom drove over quickly and stopped beside Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car.

    When Jun Shiling got out of the car, his hand trembled a little. Only when he saw that Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat did his heart rx.

    Jun Shiling took Xia Wanyuan away.

    The rest of the people were caught and brought back to the police station.

    It was raining heavily. Xiao Bao was supposed to be in football ss, but he did not go anymore. Instead, he sat in the living room watching cartoons. The sound of a car suddenly came from outside, startling Xiao Bao.

    Afraid that Jun Shiling would find out about him watching cartoons and scold him, Xiao Bao quickly switched off the television and ran to the table with his short legs, practicing calligraphy.

    Just as he was waiting for Jun Shiling to praise him for being sensible, he looked up and saw Jun Shiling walking in with Xia Wanyuan in his arms. Both of them were drenched.

    ¡°Mommy, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiao Bao saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pale face and lost all his thoughts. He hurriedly followed Jun Shiling.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was caught in the rain.¡± Xia Wanyuanforted Xiao Bao.

    Not long after, Shen Xiu arrived at the manor. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan had already been bathed by Jun Shiling.

    When Shen Xiu entered the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms while Jun Shiling blow-dried her hair.

    Shen Xiu raised an eyebrow. He couldn¡¯t tell that CEO Jun doted on his wife so much.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze on him, Shen Xiu hurriedly carried the medical box over.

    ¡°Check her temperature first.¡± Shen Xiu handed a thermometer to Xia Wanyuan, then turned around. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan ce it under her armpit.

    ¡°Mommy, are you feeling better?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was sick, Xiao Bao did not even feel that the milk candy was delicious.

    After being drenched in the rain, Xia Wanyuan had a slight fever when she came back. She was afraid that she would infect Xiao Bao, so she didn¡¯t allow him to get close to her. Now, Xiao Bao could only stand pitifully at the door.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯ll be fine in two days.¡±

    Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan thoughtfully. After a while, he ran out.

    The thermometer beeped. Shen Xiu took it and looked at it. ¡°37.7, she has a slight fever. It¡¯s not serious. I¡¯ll prescribe some medicine. Be careful not to catch a cold. I¡¯lle and take a look tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After speaking, Shen Xiu picked up the box and left the bedroom. He did not want to disturb her. He felt that by staying beside her, he was as bright as a 20,000-watt light bulb.

    When he went downstairs, a Pikachu was running upstairs. At first nce, it frightened Shen Xiu. When he got closer, he saw that it was Jun Shiling¡¯s son. He was wearing a full-piece onesie.

    When he saw Shen Xiu, Xiao Bao reached out to stop him. ¡°Uncle Doctor, if I hide in the costume, will I not catch a cold from Mommy? Can I get close to Mommy?¡±

    Shen Xiu was taken aback by the little guy¡¯s cuteness. ¡°Sure, but try not to stay too long. Your resistance is weaker.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Uncle.¡± Xiao Bao thanked him in a childish voice, then ran towards the bedroom.

    He was already wearing Pikachu¡¯s costume, but now, he was hopping around. From behind, Shen Xiu¡¯s old heart felt that he was extremely cute.

    Xia Wanyuan was drinking water when a Pikachu came in from the door. ¡°Mommy!!¡±

    Xiao Bao reached out with his two little ws and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xiao Bao.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, then stood up. ¡°Stay with your mother first. Don¡¯t disturb her.¡±

    Then Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun ¨C Little Demon King ¨C Yin. He had always been obedient in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Especially since Xia Wanyuan was sick today, Xiao Bao was even more obedient. ¡°Mommy, lie down properly. I¡¯ll tell you a story.¡±

    Xiao Bao imitated Jun Shiling and helped Xia Wanyuan lie down. Then, he carefully tucked her in and sat by the bed, telling her a fairy tale.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little dizzy. Under Xiao Bao¡¯s childish voice, she gradually fell asleep.

    When Jun Shiling entered, he was carrying the food. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had fallen asleep, he returned.

    ¡°When Madam wakes upter, heat the food up and send it up.¡±

    ¡°Young Master, where are you going?¡± Uncle Wang nced at the heavy rain outside.?<i>It was raining so heavily, but Jun Shiling was not at home apanying Xia Wanyuan. Where was he going??</i>

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon,¡± Jun Shiling said and walked out of the hall, his car quickly leaving the manor.

    When Jun Shiling returned, it was already three hourster.

    Young Master, you¡¯re finally back.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling enter with a cold expression, Uncle Wang hurriedly weed him.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes were a little messy. When he entered, he was naturally covered in the moisture outside the door and a faint smell of blood.

    ¡°Madam woke up an hour ago, but she said she¡¯s not hungry and doesn¡¯t want to eat.¡±

    ¡°Bring me a shirt. I¡¯ll go and shower first,¡± Jun Shiling said and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.

    Jun Shiling quickly rinsed himself. When there was no additional smell on him, he took the food from the kitchen and walked upstairs.

    Afraid that she would infect Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan did not let Xiao Bao stay for long and got the servants to bring him away.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was nestled under the nket, flipping through the book by the pillow with her two little hands. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xia Wanyuan raised her head to take a look before shrinking back into the nket.

    There was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

    Sick people were more fragile mentally. Xia Wanyuan felt a little aggrieved that she did not see Jun Shiling when she woke up.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, the ice in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shattered, and the coldness in him dissipated. Jun Shiling brought the food to the bed, then wrapped Xia Wanyuan with the nket and carried her up.

    ¡°I just went to investigate who the mastermind was. I was dyed. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Jun Shiling said as he reached out to touch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. It was still a little hot. ¡°Eat something first.¡±

    Jun Shiling scooped some porridge with a spoon and fed Xia Wanyuan bit by bit.

    After she was full, Jun Shiling lifted the nket and fell asleep himself.

    ¡°Who wanted to catch me today?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s someone from Continent M. The exact reason is still being investigated.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯ll send more people to secretly protect you in the future.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had a feeling that Jun Shiling had already found out the specific reason, but he did not say it.

    Although Jun Shiling had deliberately restrained his aura when he entered, Xia Wanyuan could still feel the anger in his heart. If he had not found out something, Jun Shiling would not be so angry.

    However, since Jun Shiling did not n to tell her, she did not probe further.

    Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan gradually fell asleep.

    At the same time, in Nightless City¡­

    ¡°You promised me that you wouldn¡¯t touch her!!¡± There was anger in Wei Zimu¡¯s usually gentle tone.

    He had just arrived at the international airport when he heard the news of Xia Wanyuan being attacked. The first thing Wei Zimu thought of was that Yu Qian had done it.

    Yu Qian did not panic at all when Wei Zimu grabbed his cor. He quietly admired Wei Zimu¡¯s angry expression.

    ¡°Brother, I¡¯ve never seen you so angry.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t go to Continent M anymore,¡± Wei Zimu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

    Yu Qian smiled and pushed Wei Zimu¡¯s hand away. ¡°If I wanted to do something, do you think I would use such a cheap method?¡±

    Wei Zimu was stunned.

    <i>That¡¯s right, hijacking was not Yu Qian¡¯s style. He was a true devil. If he wanted to touch someone, he would definitely not use this method.</i>

    <i>This method was too slow for him.?</i>

    ¡°Then who else?¡±

    ¡°I can only say that, Brother, the power behind this woman you like is moreplicated than you think. Why do you need to worry about her?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian in silence and said, ¡°I promised to help you. Promise me that you won¡¯t touch her.¡±

    ¡°Of course, Brother. I keep my promise.¡± Yu Qian nodded with a smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes.

    After Yu Qian left, Wei Zimu sat on the chair for a long time.

    After a while, he took out a colorful y doll from his pocket. The little child he had saved in Continent F had taught him to make it.

    The y doll was lifelike and looked like Xia Wanyuan.

    Wei Zimu ced the doll in his palm and seemed to see Xia Wanyuan smiling yfully at him. A hint of gentleness appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes.

    There was something wrong with what Yu Qian said.

    Xia Wanyuan was not the woman he liked.

    Xia Wanyuan was just someone he wanted to protect.

    In Continent M, in the brightly lit hall, everyone¡¯s hearts turned cold.

    Even though a man in a wheelchair was sitting in a high position, he could not help but make people respect him.

    Because he was sick, it had been a long time since Mr. Blue had gathered people for a meeting on such arge scale. Now that he suddenly asked everyone toe, everyone was flustered.

    Blue blew at the tea leaves in his cup and scanned the people in the hall. A few of them could not hold on anymore and were trembling.

    ¡°Do you need me to name names?¡± Blue drank a mouthful of hot tea and suddenly asked.

    Before anyone knew what was happening, two people had already rolled to the ground beside them. Large beads of sweat were on their heads.

    ¡°Since you like to probe me, follow me to Iron Heart Ind. I can tell you slowly,¡± Blue said slowly.

    A few guards suddenly appeared and took the person who had rolled to the ground away.

    Blue nced at the other people in the hall and put down his teacup. Fang Jin stepped forward and pushed Blue¡¯s wheelchair away.

    The remaining people watched Blue leave with lingering fear.

    ¡°What did they do? They were actually escorted to Iron Heart Ind? No one has entered that terrifying ce for more than ten years.¡±

    ¡°Shh, stop talking. If Mr. Blue finds out, you and I won¡¯t be able to bear his anger.. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Those who had a fever always felt that their bodies were hot. Xia Wanyuan had been tossing and turning the entire night, but she was held tightly in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, preventing her from being infected by the cold air outside to stop the cold from getting worse.

    Xia Wanyuan did not sleep well. Jun Shiling slept even more uneasily than she did. Xia Wanyuan kept moving in his arms, but Jun Shiling could not let go of her. His heart burned the entire night.

    After being tightly covered in the nket for the entire night, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes the next morning and felt much better.

    Jun Shiling reached over and touched her forehead.

    ¡°Your fever has subsided. Take some medicine today. You should be fine soon.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was a little hoarse.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw that Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept the entire night.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you didn¡¯t sleep?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly.

    ¡°It¡¯s all because of you.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly.

    Xia Wanyuan thought that Jun Shiling had not slept the entire night because he had been taking care of her. Feeling a little guilty, she leaned forward. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan leaned over, Jun Shiling almost held his breath. However, he could still smell the fragrance on Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Mm, it was quite hard. It was hard to endure. </i>

    Xia Wanyuan quickly realized what was wrong with Jun Shiling under the nket and blushed.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you didn¡¯t...¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling swallowed her words.

    After a long kiss, Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°Jun Shiling, aren¡¯t you afraid of catching a cold?¡±

    ¡°You tortured me for the entire night. If I have a cold, so be it.¡± Although that was what he said, Jun Shiling was worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body and stopped moving. Instead, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

    Only then did he find clothes for Xia Wanyuan and bring her down for breakfast.

    As soon as he opened the door, he saw a chubby little dumpling squatting by the door. He was ying with a doll while waiting for the door to open.

    Hearing the door open, Xiao Bao turned around in surprise. ¡°Mommy, are you feeling better?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m much better. Why are you squatting here?¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I was waiting for you to get up. I was afraid of waking you up, so I didn¡¯t go in.¡± Xiao Bao looked up, his eyes filled with concern for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was touched. She pinched the little dumpling¡¯s face and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat together.¡±

    ¡°Mm!!¡±

    Xiao Bao grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and went downstairs, helping her pull up a chair. Jun Shiling was helping Xia Wanyuan scoop rice, while Xiao Bao peeled eggs for her.

    ¡°Stop peeling it and eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the egg, but Xiao Bao dodged her.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re sick. Daddy and I didn¡¯t take good care of you. We men should do this,¡± the little man, Xiao Bao, blinked his big eyes and said seriously.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao in approval.

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby little face. ¡°Why are you so obedient?¡±

    ¡°Because I love Mommy the most.¡± Xiao Bao handed the peeled egg to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, eat quickly.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan bit down on an egg and praised Xiao Bao. ¡°Delicious.¡±

    ¡°Hehe...¡± Xiao Bao returned to his seat to eat.

    Originally, Xiao Bao should have gone to Old Master Jun¡¯s ce to apany him during the weekend, but Xia Wanyuan was sick today and Xiao Bao did not want to leave Xia Wanyuan. Old Master Jun understood and went to find hisrades to fish.

    Vacation did not exist in Jun Shiling¡¯s world. After breakfast, Jun Shiling had to go to thepany to work.

    Xiao Bao apanied Xia Wanyuan while Jun Shiling changed his clothes.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling had just tied his tie. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, he was amused.

    After putting on his coat, Jun Shiling walked towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t look anymore, baby. Come to work with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fever had subsided, but she still had a cold. She had taken two days off. From her eyes just now, Jun Shiling knew that she wanted to go with him.

    ¡°Daddy, what about me?¡± Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and looked at her pitifully. ¡°Mommy, I want to go too. Don¡¯t leave me behind.¡±

    Jun Shiling was about to decline, but Xiao Bao pursed his lips and wanted to cry. Hisrge eyes were instantly filled with tears. Seeing that the tears were about to fall, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao coldly.

    <i>Who did he take after for his whiny behavior? </i>

    Do you really think acting coquettishly will work? ¡°No¡± Jun Shiling did not finish his sentence.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had a cold, had a slightly muffled voice. She sounded much softer than usual.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go together. Bring your homework. You¡¯re only allowed to stay in the office and can¡¯t run around,¡± Jun Shiling instructed Xiao Bao fiercely.

    Xiao Bao:<i> Daddy, your expression changes so quickly. You don¡¯t treat Mommy like this.. I must be a fake son.</i>

    Less than three minutes after Jun Shiling arrived at the office, the news that CEO Jun had brought his entire family to work had spread throughout thepany. The receptionist secretly took a photo and sent it to thepany group.

    Beside the cold Jun Shiling was a graceful woman and a child.

    However, the woman was wearing a mask and sunsses, so her appearance could not be seen. The child was wearing a mask, but from the pair of big eyes that were exposed, one could tell how cute the child was.

    ¡°Ahhhhhhh, I¡¯m dead. Even through the screen, I feel that this child is so cute!!¡±

    ¡°An immortal family. I really want to know who Madam Jun is. Why must she be so wrapped up? Can¡¯t we mortals admire her?¡±

    The group kept refreshing until someone said quietly, ¡°Assistant Lin seems to be in this group.¡±

    ???!!!

    Everyone saw the list of group members and saw that Lin Jing was really in the group.

    <i>?? Which traitor pulled Assistant Lin in!! </i>

    Hence, after a crazy spam, everyone frantically retracted their messages.

    After Lin Jing was done with his work, he poked into the group and saw nearly a hundred retracted messages.

    ¡°...¡±

    Xiao Bao jumped up and down in the office curiously.

    Although Jun Shiling frowned, he did not scold him.

    When Lin Jing entered the room with the documents, a little dumpling grabbed his leg.

    ¡°Uncle Lin.¡± Xiao Bao looked up at Lin Jing. He had not seen Uncle Lin Jing in a long time.

    ¡°Little Master.¡± Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s clear eyes, the standard smile on Lin Jing¡¯s face widened, and there was some genuine love in his eyes.

    ¡°Uncle Lin, I missed you so much.¡± Xiao Bao continued to attack cutely.

    Lin Jing reached out to stroke Xiao Bao¡¯s soft hair. ¡°Uncle Lin missed you too.¡±

    ¡°Jun Yin, go and do your homework,¡± Jun Shiling finally said.

    Xiao Bao reluctantly let go of Lin Jing¡¯s leg and blinked at him. Only then did he go to the table to do his homework.

    Lin Jing took the documents and went forward to let Jun Shiling sign them. Just as he was about to leave, he walked over and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan.

    The door closed and the sound of signing came from the desk. Xiao Bao secretly opened his palm. Inside was a chocte that Lin Jing had just ced in his hand.

    After carefully peeling off the candy wrapper, Xiao Bao threw the pen onto the ground on the left. ¡°Oh, I dropped the pen.¡±

    Xiao Bao bent down to pick up the pen, then threw the chocte into his mouth with his right hand.

    <i>Awoo, so sweet!! Uncle Lin Jing is the best!! </i>

    However, when it was time for lunch.

    ¡°You ate secretly in the morning. You need to eat fewer pork ribs in the afternoon.¡± Jun Shiling exposed mercilessly.

    Xiao Bao frowned. <i>Bad Daddy. </i>

    In the end, it was Xia Wanyuan who stepped in to plead that Xiao Bao ate an extra piece of pork rib.

    The model selection for Camellia was already nearing the end. There were a total of ten people who entered the selection process.

    Among these ten people, there were professional models and female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

    The previous selection procedures were evaluated by professional judges.

    It was up to Manda to decide who would be thest person to rise to the top.

    Over the past few days, all the businesses under the Jun Corporation were unwilling to serve Manda. She had a stomach full of anger. Now, when she was weed into the runway by the staff, her expression was extremely ugly.

    However, there was such an unspoken rule in the fashion industry. The more unique one was, the more people would think that they had a personality. Hence, towards Manda¡¯s cold face, everyone only felt that the fashion director of Camellia really had a personality and was more polite to her.

    ¡°Madam Manda, we¡¯ve chosen ten people for you. You can take a look and see which one of these ten people you like more.¡±

    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s begin.¡±

    As soon as Manda finished speaking, the lights around the stage dimmed.

    Models in Camellia outfits walked out on the dot.

    When she saw thest model with a heroic look on her face, Manda¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Madam Manda, this model is called Zhu Wen. She¡¯s a new model, but her stage performance is very strong. She¡¯s also a model that our jury thinks highly of.¡±

    Manda nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s watch the next scene.¡±

    The next scene was a summer fashion show. Zhu Wen wore a cap and held a tennis racket. She walked to the stage with a bright smile.

    Manda looked at her approvingly. <i>This model was very malleable. </i>

    The staff waiting at the side, as well as the managers of the other models, had been observing Manda. Every time Zhu Wen appeared, Manda¡¯s expression would soften a little, and everyone had a few thoughts in their hearts.

    It seemed that Zhu Wen was going to be a phoenix from a branch. This time, the model that Manda had taken a fancy to was going to ascend.

    After the fashion show ended, Manda specially got someone to bring Zhu Wen over.

    ¡°Zhu Wen, right?¡± Manda folded his hands. ¡°Your runway show.¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Manda suddenly saw a bag on Zhu Wen¡¯s back.

    ¡°Where did you buy this bag?¡±

    This was given to me when a celebrity in China held the lottery. Her name is Xia Wanyuan. The bag she gave me was especially beautiful, so I carried it over.¡±

    ¡°Beautiful?¡± Manda nced at Zhu Wen mockingly. ¡°How can such a tasteless street stall item be considered good-looking? I originally thought that your stage steps were okay, but I didn¡¯t expect you to have no taste at all.. You don¡¯t even have the basic fashion sensitivity to be a model.¡±

    As the fashion director of Camellia, Manda¡¯s words were like gold in the industry.

    Furthermore, this was the first time she had criticized a model¡¯s outfit so vehemently.

    Everyone looked at the bag on Zhu Wen. It was of a very high quality. The silver-white crane was lifelike, as if it had flown out of a jade wave.

    <i>Isn¡¯t this pretty??</i>

    However, everyone only dared to say this. After all, Manda¡¯s reputation was out there. No one wanted to bebeled as a country bumpkin who did not know fashion.

    Soon, another model was brought over. Manda pointed at her. ¡°It¡¯s her.¡±

    Zhu Wen wanted to say something, but the staff who swarmed forward had already squeezed her aside.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?! Didn¡¯t Madam Manda call you at the beginning? How did you offend her?¡± The manager had experienced the process from joy to sorrow. Now, he looked at Zhu Wen with disappointment.

    ¡°I think there¡¯s something wrong with her taste.¡± Zhu Wen touched his bag. This color and style are clearly very good, and this so-called fashion director of Camellia had bad taste.

    ¡°I think there¡¯s something wrong with your brain!!¡± The manager felt that he was going to be angered to death by Zhu Wen¡¯s appearance. ¡°Zhong Ling has already snatched so many of your endorsements. I originally thought that you could rely on this selection to make aeback, but now, you¡¯ve given up your position. You¡¯re really hopeless.¡±

    The manager left angrily. Zhu Wen rubbed the bag on her back and looked a little worried.

    In the office of the Jun Corporation.

    Jun Shiling went downstairs for a meeting while Xia Wanyuan was painting. After Xiao Bao finished his homework, he jumped around in the office.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s office was simple and there was nothing fun. Xiao Bao got tired of it after a while.

    ncing at Xia Wanyuan, who was painting seriously, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously replied. By the time she reacted, Xiao Bao had already slipped out.

    The floor where Jun Shiling¡¯s office was located was very quiet. Xiao Bao thought for a moment that Uncle Lin Jing had just mentioned that Jun Shiling would go to the 25th floor, so he pressed the elevator on the 25th floor.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s private elevator would be reminded at the stopped floor. The employees on the 25th floor were already sitting up straight and were very serious about their work. They wished they could type out a concert tune on their keyboard.

    No one dared to nce at the elevator, afraid that they would meet Jun Shiling¡¯s death re.

    ¡°Pretty Sister, do you know where my father is having a meeting?¡±

    It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop on the ground. Suddenly, a cute voice came from the office.

    Everyone looked over.

    !!!!!!!

    If the office allowed screams, the office should have been drowned by everyone¡¯s screams.

    Recently, Jun Shiling liked Xia Wanyuan to wear all sorts of cute clothes.

    Like today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a watermelon T-shirt.

    Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and insisted on wearing parent-child clothes with her.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Xiao Bao¡¯s lips were red and his teeth were white. He was like a little watermelon spirit that had crawled out of a watermelon, blinking his big eyes.

    The woman Xiao Bao addressed as Pretty Sister already had a child in primary school. Hearing Xiao Bao call her that made her heart blossom with sweetness.

    At first, everyone was only charmed by the big-eyed cute child. When they calmed down and looked, this face was simply printed from the same mold as Jun Shiling¡¯s.

    Only then did she realize.

    The little cutie in front of him was actually the crown prince of the Jun Corporation. He immediately suppressed the urge to pat the little cutie¡¯s head.

    ¡°CEO Jun is in the innermost meeting room.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, handsome big brother.¡± Xiao Bao smiled and thanked him, then walked towards the meeting room.

    !!!

    All the employees: <i>I can¡¯t believe that this little cutie is Jun Shiling¡¯s child!!! He keeps calling everyone Pretty Sister and Handsome Brother. Who can resist that?! </i>

    In the meeting room, everyone was discussing things seriously when the door was suddenly knocked. The secretary looked at Jun Shiling awkwardly, then said, ¡°CEO Jun, someone is looking for you.¡±

    Everyone was surprised. <i>Who would dare to look for Jun Shiling at this time? </i>They saw a little head sticking out from behind the door.

    ¡°Daddy.¡±

    He had the same face as Jun Shiling, but he had a child-like cuteness that waspletely different from Jun Shiling.

    Xiao Bao did not expect there to be so many people here. He nced at Jun Shiling timidly, preparing to ept Jun Shiling¡¯s reprimand.

    However, Jun Shiling only waved at him. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Lin Jing ced a chair beside Jun Shiling, then walked over and brought Xiao Bao over and ced him on the chair.

    ¡°Continue.¡± Jun Shiling stopped talking and gestured for the managers to continue.

    Xiao Bao sat obediently by the side.

    Although he did not understand what everyone was discussing,

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions had already clearly told everyone that this child was the little prince of the Jun family.

    The future person in charge of the Jun family.

    Xia Wanyuan had always drawn ording to whatever inspiration she had. That day¡¯s chase in the rain had given Xia Wanyuan some ideas.

    Hence, Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount, which had not been updated for a long time, had a new post this time.

    An extremely powerful chasing picture in the rain.

    Even through the screen, one could feel the tense atmosphere between the conflict of good and evil.

    Before anyone could save the photos for wallpaper, sharp-eyed people realized that Yuan Wanxia¡¯s profile picture was jumping.

    This meant that the blogger had started a live broadcast.

    Everyone hurriedly clicked on it and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was bare-faced and still had red eyebrows and lips, sitting at a study table.

    ¡°I happen to have time today. I¡¯ll teach everyone how to write.¡±

    In less than a minute, manyizens who had heard the news had already surrounded Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream. For a time, the fragile server could not stand such enthusiasticizens.

    ¡°The most important thing about writing calligraphy is paying attention to structure¡­¡±

    Initially, everyone hade for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture was both interesting and meaningful. Gradually, everyone was attracted by Xia Wanyuan and began to take paper and pen to write with her.

    Thinking that Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting was about to end, Xia Wanyuan put away her brush. ¡°That¡¯s all for today. If I have time in the future, I¡¯ll continue to teach everyone another brush technique.¡±

    [ Okay, okay. Bye, wife. Love you, love you. ]

    [ The person in front, who is your wife? Can you be more shameless? Do you not care about my baby¡¯s husband? I¡¯m not dead yet. ]

    [ I didn¡¯t think that there was anything to learn about calligraphy in the past. After listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture, I realized that calligraphy is so particr and has so many stories behind it. Amazing. ]

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the reluctantments and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It caused anothermotion in the live-stream. She closed the live-stream.

    As she had expected, the moment she switched off the live-stream, Xiao Bao walked in with Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    A three-hour meeting meant that Jun Shiling had not seen Xia Wanyuan for three hours. Jun Shiling walked in and kissed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Oh, Daddy, shy, shy.¡± Xiao Bao covered his eyes.

    After being nced at by Jun Shiling, she immediately became obedient.

    Skyart Model Company.

    ¡°Zhu Wen, I don¡¯t know what to do either. Zhong Ling has obtained the qualification to enter the Camellia Autumn Winter Show. The few endorsements that you¡¯ve already agreed on are going to be given to Zhong Ling by thepany now.¡±

    ¡°Based on what? I personally went to endorse them one by one.¡± Zhu Wen clenched her fists, and her eyes were red. ¡°Brother Liu, you know that Ick money.¡±

    The manager looked at Zhu Wen and sighed. This youngdy Zhu Wen had a spiritual aura and was very malleable, but she had a too stubborn temper and did not know how to please thepany¡¯s leader. She was also not smooth when it came to handling things and waspletely focused on walking the runway.

    She had clearlye to thepany before Zhong Ling and the rest, but she was still like a newbie.

    ¡°I know about your family¡¯s situation too, but I¡¯ve tried my best. How about this? I¡¯ll go and see if there¡¯s any show you can walk on. I¡¯ll help you fight for it.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Brother Liu.¡± Zhu Wen forced a smile. Her manager had been gone for a long time, but Zhu Wen was still squatting on the ground.

    ¡°Sister Zhu, I¡¯m really sorry. I was already very busy, but thepany insisted on giving me your endorsement. I had no choice.¡± A pair of red high heels appeared in front of her.

    Zhu Wen looked up and saw the arrogant Zhong Ling, who was carrying thetest bag from the Camellia family.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already obtained the qualification for the show. There¡¯s no need to find a sense of superiority from me,¡± Zhu Wen said coldly.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Zhong Lingughed smugly. What she hated the most was Zhu Wen¡¯s fake aloofness. She nced at the bag on Zhu Wen in disdain.

    ¡°How dare you run to Director Manda with a lousy bag? Your taste is as bad as ever.¡±

    Zhu Wen could not be bothered with her. Seeing how stubborn she was, Zhong Ling left after a few words.

    ¡°Zhu Wen, what did Zhong Ling say to you again?¡± The manager returned from the leader¡¯s office. He saw Zhong Ling¡¯s arrogant look from afar and was afraid that Zhu Wen would fight with her.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. What did thepany say?¡±

    ¡°Thepany said that your endorsement will definitely be given to Zhong Ling. However, there¡¯s a small brand looking for a model. Do you think you¡¯re willing to go? It¡¯s an unknown brand that seems to have just been established.¡± As the manager spoke, he handed a name card to Zhu Wen.

    After the heavy rain, the air in Beijing was moist.

    An Rao sat on the balcony and inexplicably thought of the huge wave that she had seen on the deck when she was kidnapped by the pirates that day and a tall figure.

    An Rao counted the days. It seemed like she had not contacted Bo Xiao for two days.

    Bored, An Rao clicked on her phone and finally sent Bo Xiao a WeChat message. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    As expected, no one replied.

    At that moment in Continent F,

    The originally bustling market had been smashed into pieces by stray bullets.

    ¡°Sir! Unknown high threat weapons have been detected. Requesting everyone to retreat!¡± The report of his subordinate came through the earpiece.

    ¡°Team Two, Team Four, Team Five, evacuate. Team Three, stay behind. Come with me to the city center and destroy the confidential documents.¡± Bo Xiao clenched his fists and ordered in the rain of bullets.

    ¡°Young general! The city center is dangerous. The suppression of the enemy¡¯s armed forces is too fierce. Leave with the main troops first!¡±

    ¡°Obey orders!¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s words made his subordinate shut up.

    The embassy stationed in China had confidential information on the military. These things could not fall into the hands of others, and Bo Xiao had to destroy them himself.

    After Bo Xiao¡¯s orders were given, the other teams began to evacuate in an orderly manner. Under the cover of the backup staff, Bo Xiao led the Team Three along the broken corner and began to approach the city center.

    At that moment, the city center was already an empty city. People had long hidden outside the city.

    After arriving inside the embassy, the team members were about to enter when Bo Xiao suddenly raised his hand. His ears twitched almost imperceptibly. ¡°Evacuate!!¡±

    Bo Xiao practically shouted those words. The team members had all received professional training. When Bo Xiao finished speaking, everyone jumped out.

    However, it was toote. The soaring mes instantly destroyed the entire building.

    It swallowed the people who were running out.

    An Rao originally wanted to pour a cup of water to drink, but when she picked up the kettle, she suddenly panicked. She did not even hold the kettle in her hand and it smashed onto the back of her feet. It was so hot that An Rao cried out in surprise.

    However, An Rao did not have the time to pay attention to the injury on her foot. This panic was inexplicable and made her anxious. For some reason, An Rao was suddenly very worried about Bo Xiao. She hurriedly called Xia Wanyuan.

    The phone rang a few times before being picked up. After hearing An Rao¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan calmlyforted her.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s worried. Rest well. Nothing will happen to Bo Xiao.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was calm and gentle.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words calmed An Rao down. She felt that she had indeed been a little surprised.<i>?How could I associate a kettle with Bo Xiao??</i>

    In the manor, after Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, her expression turned serious. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s thetest situation?¡±

    ¡°I still haven¡¯t found him.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was ugly. He was typing on theputer, and encrypted messages kepting from theputer. ¡°But we haven¡¯t found the corpse either. There¡¯s a fifty percent chance that he¡¯s still alive.¡±

    Bo Xiao was the only friend who had been close to Jun Shiling in all these years. Now that Bo Xiao¡¯s fate was unknown, Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was not feeling good.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since we didn¡¯t find the corpse, that means he¡¯s not dead. As long as he¡¯s not dead, there must be a way.¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Mm, I know.¡± Jun Shiling returned Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, but the coldness in his eyes did not dissipate.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    It had been a long time since Xia Wanyuan had returned to the Qing University for sses. This time, they heard that Xia Wanyuan was here.

    The lecture theater of the art building was packed. Even the corridor outside was filled with people who hade to listen.

    Xia Wanyuan walked into the ssroom and scanned the people in the ssroom.

    She was a little surprised.

    That Yu Qian actually did not appear in the ssroom this time.

    Xia Wanyuan taught the students as usual. Just as the ss was about to end, a student suddenly asked, ¡°Teacher, I heard that you¡¯re going to participate in the World Painter Competition?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Teacher, we believe that you will definitely win the championship!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Teacher, you can do it. In the future, we will learn from you and spread Chinese painting to the world.¡±

    Looking at the youthful students in front of her, whose chests were filled with emotions, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart was touched.

    She suddenly understood why those great schrs in his previous life were willing to be poor even though they could easily obtain a high official¡¯s title, as they had opened a small academy in the mountains.

    Originally, she had been invited to teach by Professor Zhang at all costs, but with these young students, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt that she had not simply be a teacher here.

    She was someone who would pass on the legacy to someone else.

    After ss, Xia Wanyuan was about to go back when she saw a familiar figure at the school gate.

    With a warm smile and a gentle aura around him, Xia Wanyuan could tell at a nce that this was the real Wei Zimu.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Xia Wanyuan was the first to speak.

    Wei Zimu was stunned at first. When he reacted, his eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car arrived. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to get into the car, Wei Zimu hurriedly took out a box from his pocket and handed it to her. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, this is for you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took it and nodded at Wei Zimu before getting into the car. Wei Zimu stood at the school gate until Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car disappeared at the street entrance.

    On the production team of ¡°Dark Night¡±.

    Today was the opening ceremony for the movie ¡°Dark Night¡±.

    The Chinese people were somewhat superstitious. The scheduled opening ceremony was at three in the afternoon, which was considered the auspicious time. Around two o¡¯clock, the actors and staff of the production team had already arrived one after another.

    The entertainment industry was a circle. The actors who were close gathered and chatted.

    ¡°Do you know who the female lead is?¡±

    ¡°I really don¡¯t know. The director has covered it up quite well, but this role is so difficult to act in. With Director Wang¡¯s circle, I think he should at least find a movie queen.¡±

    ¡°Guess which movie queen it will be. I hope it¡¯s someone I like. That way, I can get my idol¡¯s autograph.¡±

    Everyone discussed and was curious about who would act in this movie.

    It was almost three o¡¯clock and the opening ceremony was about to begin, but the female lead did not appear.

    Just as everyone thought that the female lead could note because of something, they saw Director Wang leave after receiving a call.

    Not long after, Director Wang walked in with a beautiful woman.

    ¡°Wow, what a beautiful woman. Is this Director Wang¡¯s girlfriend?¡± Some staff whispered.

    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? This is an actress named Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s quite famous, but why is she here?¡±

    An unbelievable guess spread in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    However, Director Wang¡¯s words confirmed everyone¡¯s guess.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other. This is the female lead of our movie, Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling¡¯s preferences for her daily dressing, but when it came to formal matters, Jun Shiling still listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a ck outfit that matched the style of the main character in the movie. Her hair was tied up simply at the back of her head, revealing her clean facial outline.

    Initially, everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan was too young and could not control the aura of the female lead of the movie. However, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a ck suit as she stood there quietly, and the gaze she had was cold.

    Everyone present could not help but change their minds. ¡®<i>This little girl¡¯s aura is really not bad.¡¯?</i>

    ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Everyone returned to their senses and smiled politely at Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone was already here. The opening ceremony for ¡°Dark Night¡± began.

    The director solemnly ced three incense sticks in the incense burner, praying that the filming would be safe and smooth. When the director made way, the main actors stepped forward to worship Guan Di.

    Before the opening ceremony ended, the official Weibo ount of the production team of ¡°Dark Night¡± sent the news of the opening ceremony and the photos of the scene.

    Most of the fans saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name first and celebrated her eptance of the movie.

    However, some old fans were shocked when they saw the director¡¯s name.

    What did this name represent? The young people of the new generation might not be familiar with it. After all, Director Wang had already quit the industry for ten years.

    However, in the hearts of the old fans, he was a god.

    Although he had quit, every movie he directed had be a legend with an evesting reputation on the market.

    This name was too shocking. Everyone¡¯s first reaction was to think that it was the same name, until they saw the scene posted by the official Weibo ount.

    Only then did everyone dare to confirm.

    <i>That legendary director! He had really returned to the film industry!</i>

    <i>But why was there no news of it before this?!!</i>

    The film fans went crazy, and the entertainment industry was shocked.

    Everyone was curious why there was no news of Director Wang Wei¡¯s reappearance, and why he did not invite the many best actresses he knew and insisted on choosing a newbie who had never filmed a movie.

    Regarding this, Director Wang Wei did not give a response, but many people in the entertainment industry knew why.

    Many big shots had received invitations from the production team of ¡°Dark Night¡±, but the director¡¯s name was Wei Wang.

    Seeing the name of this unknown little director and a production team that no one had ever heard of, this invitation was rejected by the managementpany immediately.

    After all, what was important now was the big production.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan was the only one who was sincerely willing to film. Hence, Director Wang Wei directly decided to cast Xia Wanyuan.

    After some discussion, everyone finally knew how amazing the director of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new movie was.

    [ Our Yuan Yuan is really amazing!! This is her first movie and Director Wang Wei liked her. ]

    [ Don¡¯t be happy too early. Television is different from big screen. Be careful not to destroy Director Wang Wei¡¯s reputation. ]

    [ The person in front, you look too ugly when you eat lemons. Your master didn¡¯t live up to expectations and came to insult other people¡¯s idol? ]

    There were only so many resources in the entertainment industry, and Xia Wanyuan had ascended too quickly, so she naturally upied a lot of other people¡¯s resources.

    Many people in the dark were envious of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s good luck.

    Under the calmness, there was a surging undercurrent.

    ¡°Little ancestor, what¡¯s wrong with you? You were distracted filming the advertisement today.¡±

    An Rao had always been full of vigor. For some reason, she had been distracted and anxious for the past two days. Her manager felt anxious when he saw her.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± An Rao sighed with a bitter expression. It had been two days since she had sent Bo Xiao a message, but Bo Xiao had still not replied.

    ¡°Tell me, did you fall out of love?¡± Although the manager was usually strict with An Rao, he still raised her as a child. Seeing An Rao¡¯s listless expression, the manager felt terrible.

    ¡°If a person goes to the battlefield and loses contact for four to five days, do you think something will happen to him?¡±

    ¡°What do you think?¡± The manager saw things clearly. ¡°Soldiers are not made of iron. They have to sleep and eat. During this time, he must have contacted his family once or twice.¡±

    Hearing her manager¡¯s words, An Rao panicked even more. She felt that something must have happened to Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Help me take a leave. I¡¯ll go and look for Xia Wanyuan!¡± As An Rao spoke, she stood up and ran away. The manager could not stay even if he wanted to.

    On the production team of ¡°Dark Night¡±, Xia Wanyuan was discussing the script with the production team when she suddenly saw An Rao standing at the door and waving at her. Xia Wanyuan put down the script and walked towards An Rao, who pulled her into the car.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan.¡± An Rao¡¯s expression was very serious. ¡°Tell me, did something happen to Bo Xiao?¡±

    Although she did not know where her confidence came from, she felt that if nothing happened to Bo Xiao, he would definitely reply to her message. However, Bo Xiao had been out of contact for so long.

    Seeing the genuine worry in An Rao¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was silent for a while before finally saying, ¡°A week ago, a country in Continent F had a riot, and Bo Xiao disappeared during the operation.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the anxious An Rao fell silent.

    There was silence in the car.

    After a while, An Rao¡¯s nasal voice sounded. ¡°I should have treated him better that night.¡±

    <i>What beef noodles? I should have cooked all the good things for Bo Xiao.?</i>

    ¡°Missing means that his life is not in danger. Jun Shiling said that he shouldn¡¯t be in danger for the time being.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted An Rao¡¯s handfortingly.

    At that moment in Continent F,

    A few herdsmen were walking in the desert with their camels.

    Not far away, two people walked over. From their clothes, they were locals. Furthermore, one of them was a child. The herdsmen let down their guard and walked forward with their camels as usual.

    ¡°Uncle, can you give us some water?¡± When they approached, the child¡¯s eyes lit up and he ran to the herdsmen.

    The adult who had brought the child over slowly approached. The herdsmen looked at his iconic Y Continent face with vignce.

    ¡°We escaped from Gaia City. Can you give us some water?¡± The youth actually spoke fluent local words.

    <i>Gaia City? That was a famous Chinese gathering area.</i>?The herdsmen rxed their guard.

    ¡°Here.¡± The herdsmen took a kettle from the camels and handed it to them.

    The young man reached for it and caught a glimpse of the thick cocoon on the left side of the herdsmen¡¯s middle fingers. He did not show it on his face. After drinking the water, he thanked them with the child and left.

    After walking a hundred meters away, the young man activated his messaging device. ¡°I¡¯m Xia Yu. We¡¯ve found the target in the southeast of the desert.. Please provide support.¡±

    After Wang Xiu and Zhu¡¯er returned to their hometown, they took their parents to their new home in the county city.

    The county city was small, and news of everything in the families spread especially quickly.

    Everyone knew of Wang Xiu¡¯s situation and they were extremely envious of her. The county newspaper even reported a lot of relevant news. Many people looked for Wang Xiu to borrow money. Wang Xiu could not stand it and told others that she had only drawn a house and did not have additional money.

    Gossip reporters were everywhere. The news spread and they arrived in Beijing.

    By the time it reached the mouth of the Beijing marketing ount, it had be ¡°the first prize shrinking¡±.

    Someone specially calcted the price of the house that Wang Xiu and her mother lived in. With a calction, it was less than three million dors. It was far from the five million dors that Xia Wanyuan had promised.

    The people hidden behind many marketing ounts began to add fuel to the fire.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current reputation was no longer the image of being criticized by the entire Inte. Furthermore, after experiencing a few face-smacking incidents, everyone was increasingly distrustful of marketing ounts.

    Just as the Weibo post from the marketing ount was made, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio immediately came out to rify. Even the Weibo officials stood out and publicly supported Xia Wanyuan.

    At the same time, the police reported a murder case.

    The suspect in the case was exposed as the ex-husband of the woman who had won Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first prize.

    [ Emmmm, don¡¯t mention a house worth three million dors. If not for Xia Wanyuan, the person who would have been killed would probably be that winner. ]

    [ Nowadays, marketing ounts really want to see the world burn. Other people didn¡¯t even say anything when they won the award, but you guys are dancing here happily. ]

    [ Didn¡¯t the studio say? The bonus value of five million dors is not missing a single cent. It¡¯s just that the house only cost three million dors. Trash marketing ount, cklist him. Goodbye. You guys hate on people for doing good things. How heartless. ]

    The marketing ounts who thought that they would get a wave of heat did not expect that this wave of heat would reduce their fans.

    Jun Shiling had been very aggrieved the past two days.

    Worried about An Rao¡¯s condition, Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling that she would stay at An Rao¡¯s house for two days.

    Before Jun Shiling could object, Xia Wanyuan had already packed her luggage and gone to An Rao¡¯s apartment.

    At the dining table in the manor, Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao looked at each other.

    ¡°Daddy, when can Mommy go home? I miss Mommy.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao.<i>?Do I not??</i>

    ¡°Daddy, peel the prawns for me.¡± Xiao Bao looked at the prawns on the table and almost salivated.

    ¡°Peel it yourself.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xiao Bao pursed his lips.?<i>If Mommy was here, she definitely wouldn¡¯t let me peel it.?</i>

    The father and son finished their meal unhappily.

    It had been two days.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan had officially joined the production team of ¡°Dark Night¡±, she was busy filming in the day and had to attend sses asionally at Qing University. At night, she went straight to An Rao.

    Speaking of which, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had not seen each other for two days, other than calling and videoing at night.

    ¡°Are you done eating?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, who was eating his second bowl of rice.

    ¡°No.¡± Xiao Bao took a bite of the meatball and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

    ¡°Don¡¯t eat anymore. It¡¯s thest bite.¡± Jun Shiling took Xiao Bao¡¯s bowl away and strictly controlled his diet.

    Seeing that the bowl with the chicken wings had disappeared from in front of him, Xiao Bao forgot to chew the meatball in his mouth and his tears of grievance were about to fall.

    ¡°Do you want to visit your mother?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s words sessfully stopped Xiao Bao¡¯s tears from falling. ¡°Yes!!¡±

    In the apartment, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were sitting on the ground. Seeing that An Rao, who usually smiled, was no longer smiling, Xia Wanyuan knew that Bo Xiao¡¯s disappearance had a huge impact on her.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, I have something to ask of you.¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°If you have news about Bo Xiao, don¡¯t hide it from me no matter where it is, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan saw the emotions in An Rao¡¯s eyes and was a little shocked. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t sense Bo Xiao¡¯s thoughts.¡±

    An Rao lowered her head sadly.

    How could she not notice the obvious heat in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes?

    However, she had never been pampered before. Since Bo Xiao was so patient, she could not help but be a little arrogant and stubborn.

    However, actually, from a long time ago, she had liked the man who would y games with her, wait for her every day, and appear when she was in despair.

    ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll let you know when I have news. Rest early. Don¡¯t you have filming tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nodded and got up to return to her room.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the lights outside the window.

    She had been living very smoothly these few days.

    Seeing An Rao like this, she suddenly thought of what she would be like if Jun Shiling disappeared.

    Then, Xia Wanyuan realized that she seemed to be unable to ept this¡¯ if ¡®.

    Just as she was thinking about Jun Shiling, her phone suddenly rang.

    It was Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hello.¡±

    ¡°Baby,e next door.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle voice traveled over, dissipating the sadness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯ve never called me baby!¡± Xiao Bao protested.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up unconsciously. She stood up and walked to the apartment next door.

    In front of the apartment, Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao were waiting for her at the door.

    ¡°Mommy! You haven¡¯t hugged me for two days. I missed you so much.¡± Xiao Bao shook off Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and ran towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I missed you.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    Jun Shiling walked over and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead.

    After entering the apartment, Xia Wanyuan yed with Xiao Bao for a while before he got sleepy. Only Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were left in the living room.

    ¡°Any news?¡±

    ¡°Mm, we¡¯ve already locked onto the target. Bo Xiao has been taken away by the reactionary faction, but it¡¯s not convenient to alert them yet. The reinforcements haven¡¯t arrived.¡±

    After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he saw the expression on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and knew what she wanted to say. ¡°Let¡¯s not tell An Rao for the time being. There are many people on the reactionary faction¡¯s side. We¡¯re not sure if we can save him yet.¡±

    ¡°If it was me, I would want to know. Whether he¡¯s alive or dead, I want to know.¡± At this moment, Xia Wanyuan understood An Rao¡¯s feelings very well.

    In her previous life, the rebels had kidnapped her younger brother. Her subordinates were afraid that she would be worried and did not tell her.

    However, she would rather be awake and worried than fall into endless spection and panic.

    Jun Shiling agreed with Xia Wanyuan.

    An Rao, who had not fallen asleep, ran to Xia Wanyuan the moment she received the news.

    ¡°I want to go to Continent F.¡± An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan pleadingly.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling said, ¡°You can go, but Continent F is having a war. Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nodded.

    Jun Shiling made a call.

    A minuteter, Jun Shiling hung up the phone and looked at An Rao. ¡°Go to the Beijing airport now. Someone will pick you up and bring you along.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao did not hesitate at all and went back to pack her things.

    Jun Shiling had never had much of an impression of An Rao.

    Xia Wanyuan liked to y with her, so after Jun Shiling got someone to investigate her background and found that there was nothing wrong with it, he let it be.

    This was the first time Jun Shiling thought about An Rao seriously.

    ¡°Bo Xiao has good taste,¡± Jun Shiling concluded.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but nce at Jun Shiling when he suddenly said this. ¡°An Rao looks carefree, but she¡¯s actually very stubborn. No one can stop her if she wants to go. Get more people to protect her.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s backfortingly.

    In the night, An Rao left the apartment in a hurry.

    The manager was sleeping soundly when he suddenly received a call from An Rao.

    ¡°What?! You¡¯re taking leave! No! Come back right now!¡±

    However, An Rao had already hung up the phone. When her manager called back, her phone was already switched off.

    The manager looked back at the pillow and suddenly felt that it did not smell good anymore.

    <i>If An Rao ran away, thepany would skin me alive tomorrow!?</i>

    <i>What an ancestor!</i>

    Under the same sky.

    Someone leaned against the window and looked at the myriad of lights outside.

    Someone hurried to an uncertain future.

    There were also people walking alone in the darkness, unable to break free.

    But the light will eventuallye.

    The next day was a good day. The gloomy rain over the past few days had been swept away.

    Today was the day the first scene was filmed.

    Jun Shiling had not seen Xia Wanyuan for two days and pestered her for a while before sleeping, causing her to oversleep.

    In the end, she entered the production team through the office hours.

    Xia Wanyuan had just sat down when she heard the two middle-aged women chatting around her.

    These two women acted as the stepmother and aunt who had abused the female lead in the early stages of the drama.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.?<i>Director Wang was quite good at finding people. The two of them had a pretty close image to their movie characters.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan originally didn¡¯t want to care, but the two of them were still nagging. Their voices were loud, causing people to look over.

    ¡°Director Wang.¡± Xia Wanyuan called out to Director Wang Wei, who was not far away.

    Director Wang Wei looked up. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a littlete today.¡±

    Director Wang Wei lowered his head and looked at the time. ¡°It¡¯s notte. There are still two minutes to the start of work, but you can prepare to film.¡±

    After Director Wang Wei spoke, the two middle-aged women stopped chatting with ugly expressions.

    ¡°Dark Night¡± talked about a girl who had been abused since she was young and had gradually be a sociopath. She was used by the dark team and became a ruthless killer ¡°Snow Fox¡±.

    However, due to a failure in an operation, the mountain vige that had fallen off the cliff was moved by the most honest hearts of the vigers here. In the end, they formed a group and found the story of a girl dying in order to protect the vigers.

    Director Wang had already stopped filming for many years, but after seeing this script, Wang Wei felt that if he could film this story well, it would definitely be a very moving movie.

    That was why he had sent an audition notice to many people in the entertainment industry who he felt were qualified to y this role.

    However, he didn¡¯t want his fame to steal the attraction of the script itself, so he faked his name and the production team.

    The result was unexpected.

    More than a decade ago, everyone filmed movies based on acting skills and thepatibility of the characters.

    More than a decadeter, the entertainment industry actually used big-name directors and big-name actors as indicators.

    In the end, he only received a response from Xia Wanyuan.

    What he had thought at that time was that Xia Wanyuan was a newbie. Even if she did not have enough experience in filming movies, based on her respect for the script, he would still properly guide her.

    When the filming officially began, Wang Wei had already thrown this thought out of the clouds.

    Because Xia Wanyuan was too spiritual!

    Films usually used two hours to show aplete story. Furthermore, the broadcast on the big screen had especially strict requirements for every gaze and action of the actor.

    The first scene of the day was the scene of Snow Fox and herpanions hiding in the mountains to avoid the police afterpleting the mission.

    In a green cloth, Snow Fox and herpanions sat around a bonfire.

    Herpanions chatted andughed as they celebrated the sessfulpletion of the mission. Only Snow Fox was dressed in a ck leather shirt with a gun at her waist. She sat upright with a cold expression on her beautiful face.

    Her friends were also used to this legendary killer and did not dare to provoke her. She was a real sociopath, a ruthless character that even their killer colleagues in the industry were afraid of.

    If not for the fact that this mission was too important, Snow Fox would not be willing to bring helpers.

    The smoke from the bonfire gradually rmed the true overlord of the forest.

    A low roar came from afar, and the entire forest seemed to be trembling.

    Herpanions immediately became alert and quickly buried the flint, but it was toote. The growl came closer.

    In the dark forest, more than ten pairs of green eyes made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    The few people standing there all rolled over from the rain of bullets, as they quickly reacted.

    ¡°You guys stall the rest. I¡¯ll kill the Wolf King.¡± Snow Fox¡¯s cold voice smashed down in the night.

    Just as she finished speaking, the wolf pack that had not eaten for a long time had already run towards their prey.

    Snow Fox climbed a fewrge trees and stepped on the heads of the wolves. She raised her gun and aimed it at the wolf king.

    However, the wolf king was extremely fast and dodged the bullet in an instant. Even a sharpshooter like Snow Fox could not hit it. Snow Fox simply looked at the angle and rode on the Wolf King.

    They fought together.

    After a while¡­

    The wolf king let out a miserable cry. Snow Fox threw away the wolf king¡¯s corpse, wiped the hot blood off her face, and looked at the other wolves in the forest.

    At that moment, the hellish aura that erupted from her body made even animals shy away and retreat hesitantly.

    ¡°Director, is this scene done?¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished filming this scene, the entire venue was silent for a long time. Only when she called Wang Wei did Wang Weie to his senses.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, you acted too well!¡± Wang Wei had filmed so many shows and had high expectations for actors.

    However, the scene just now had really amazed him.

    It was clearly the scorching sun, and there were staff everywhere. The scene was also covered in green cloth. Even the wolf king was only a pet doll.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had used her performance to bring everyone into the vast forest ins. It was as if she had really seen a person tear apart a wolf with her bare hands.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s final emotionless but fierce gaze was too realistic.

    So much so that when Xia Wanyuan returned to her seat after filming,

    the two women who had been gossiping openly and covertly in the morning shut their mouths tightly, afraid that they would be torn apart by Xia Wanyuan.

    Under the shocked gazes of everyone due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opening game, no one dared to provoke her for the entire day.

    At the same time, on Continent F.

    Xia Yu was discussing the rescue n with everyone when he heard a happy ¡°Brother!¡±

    Xia Yu looked up and saw an extremely beautiful woman walk in.

    An Rao had seen Xia Yu live-stream before, but this was the first time she had seen him in person.

    He looked much better than in the live broadcast. He was no longer childish and had the determination of a soldier.

    ¡°Sister An Rao?¡± Xia Yu had received a message from Jun Shilingst night.

    ¡°Mm!¡± An Rao did not have a younger brother. Seeing Xia Yu in a foreign country, she naturally felt a little close to him.

    ¡°Have you heard from Bo Xiao?¡± An Rao walked over, and the others made way for her.

    ¡°Yes, but we¡¯re short of one person to enter the city and figure out the situation first.¡±

    They needed someone who was smart and unfamiliar. Otherwise, they would alert the enemy.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± An Rao looked at Xia Yu. ¡°I just arrived on the ne today. I can pretend to be a tourist.¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s dangerous,¡± Xia Yu disagreed.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can do it.¡± An Rao was very determined. She did not want to sit here and wait, as she could not help Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Alright, then let me tell you some things to take note of.¡± Xia Yu had no choice. There was no one more suitable than An Rao.

    In the production team, Xia Wanyuan sat by the side and read a book after filming.

    ¡°Hello, Senior.¡± A timid girl stood in front of her.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at the person standing in front of her and lowered her head to reply to Professor Zhang.

    The World Painter Competition had already begun. Because Xia Wanyuan was chosen by the Qing University official, she didn¡¯t have to participate in the worldwide audition.

    However, because Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about the world painting trend, Professor Zhang had been tutoring her recently.

    Speaking of this matter, Professor Zhang felt that it was strange. Xia Wanyuan had such a deep understanding of painting at a young age, but she did not know anything about painting other than China¡¯s side. She did not even know the most basic knowledge.

    ¡°Senior, can I call you Sister Xia? My name is Chen Xiaoguo. I¡¯ll y your younger sister in the movie,¡± the little girl stared at her canvas shoes and said with a flushed face.

    ¡°So what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not like to waste her breath on unrted matters.

    ¡°I just want to ask you how to improve so that my acting skills can be as good as yours.¡±

    After replying to Professor Zhang¡¯s message, Xia Wanyuan switched off her phone and nced at Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡°When you spend all your time and effort on acting.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan looked at her watch. It was time to get off work, so she left with her bag.

    Chen Xiaoguo was stunned when she was left behind.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Xiaoguo? What are you saying to Xia Wanyuan?¡± An actor from the same group leaned over.

    ¡°I think Senior Xia acted especially well. I want to ask her about her acting skills.¡± At this point, Chen Xiaoguo lowered her eyes and looked a little disappointed. ¡°However, maybe I¡¯m too stupid. Senior Xia doesn¡¯t seem to like me much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t be sad. Xia Wanyuan is the female lead appointed by Director Wang Wei. She must be very arrogant. Let me bring you to meet a few old actors.¡± Chen Xiaoguo was usually sunny and outgoing, but seeing her so sad, the actor in the same group felt pity for her.

    ¡°Okay, thank you. You¡¯re the best.¡± Chen Xiaoguo seemed to beforted as an innocent smile appeared on her face.

    Jun Shiling was rather busy today, so Xia Wanyuan went home herself.

    Ever since the previous incident, Jun Shiling had found a chauffeur from somewhere to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    When the car drove to the Third Ring Road, Xia Wanyuan suddenly called for the chauffeur to stop.

    In front of an ancient three-story building, a group of people was arguing.

    ¡°Go and look for the leader of yourpany to tell me. Anyway, I only recognize Zhong Ling. Why should you change to a sub-par person?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?! Who¡¯s the one who is subpar? Show some respect!¡± Zhu Wen was anxious when she heard Xiu Yi staff¡¯s words.

    She took the contract that Zhong Ling did not want and came to look for Xiu Yi to sign it. In the end, the person in charge of Xiu Yi mocked them.

    After all, the model that they had agreed on at the beginning was Zhong Ling, and Zhong Ling had be a model of Camellia. Compared to her, Zhu Wen¡¯s value was naturally much lower.

    Zhu Wen wanted to argue with them, but she was pushed out of the door by the staff.

    ¡°Anyway, hurry up and leave. Why don¡¯t you go and take a look? How much sales does our Xiu Yi have this year? Can any Tom, Dick, and Harry endorse it?¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Zhu Wen staggered from the push. Fortunately, someone supported her from behind.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Zhu Wen turned around to thank her, but she was stunned when she saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Miss Xia?¡±

    Zhu Wen subconsciously looked at the bag on her shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan followed her gaze. ¡°Do you like this bag?¡±

    ¡°I like it. It¡¯s beautiful.¡± Zhu Wen nodded.

    Although Manda criticized the bag without restraint, Zhu Wen felt that the fashion director of Camellia was not a judge.?<i>Why did it not look good just because she said so??</i>

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to the extremely arrogant person in charge standing at Xiu Yi¡¯s door.

    ¡°Miss, the person beside you is here to cause trouble. If you want to buy something,e in with me.¡±

    The person in charge, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and jewelry, and his expression immediately became obsequious.

    ¡°You¡¯re fired,¡± Xia Wanyuan said to the in-charge.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± The in-chargeughed. ¡°Miss, if you don¡¯t buy anything, go out and turn right. Forgive us for not receiving you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan directly made a phone call.

    ¡°Shen Qian,e over.¡±

    All of Xiu Yi¡¯s employees knew Shen Qian¡¯s name.

    Shen Qian built Xiu Yi up with one hand. Everyone knew that Shen Qian was the boss of the embroidery. At that moment, when they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, they were a little surprised and uncertain.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan really looked like she knew Shen Qian.

    Not long after, everyone saw a man in a suit walk over.

    ¡°CEO Shen.¡± Everyone greeted Shen Qian respectfully, but Shen Qian walked to Xia Wanyuan.

    He greeted respectfully, ¡°CEO Xia.¡±

    The staff were stunned.<i>?This youngdy? CEO Shen called her CEO Xia?</i>

    ¡°Him, her, and the few of them, go and settle the firing procedures.¡± Xia Wanyuan casually pointed to a few people.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Qian nodded. The staff surrounded him and wanted to say something, but they were stopped by the bodyguards behind Shen Qian.

    Zhu Wen did not want to join in the fun. Since Xiu Yi was unwilling to let her endorse, she would not stay here.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped her.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Come in with me,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and walked into the embroidery room. At this moment, the staff no longer dared to stop her.

    ¡°Go and pick something you like. Put it on and let me take a look.¡±

    Zhu Wen was arrogant. This was also the reason why she had never been put in an important position in thepany for so many years.

    If anyone else had spoken to her like this, she would definitely have left with her bag. However, when these words came from Xia Wanyuan, Zhu Wen subconsciously felt that there was nothing wrong.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Zhu Wen chose a set ording to her preference and turned in front of the mirror.

    The style of embroidered clothes was extremely gentle, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design itself had integrated some tall and straight temperament.

    Zhu Wen had a heroic aura around her. It was hard and gentle, and there was actually a strange harmony.

    ¡°Change to another set,¡± Xia Wanyuan looked and said.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Zhu Wen had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan for no reason. She patiently changed to another set.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Are you willing to be the chief model for embroidery?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Zhu Wen saw the attitude of the staff just now and knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity was definitely not simple. She was in need of money now, and she had to seize this opportunity.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian, who sent the contract over directly. ¡°Take a look at the contract first. If there¡¯s no problem, you can sign it now.¡±

    Zhu Wen took the contract and looked at it. She thought that she was seeing things and looked at it again. She looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. ¡°This fee? Is there a mistake?¡±

    The price was so high that she could not believe it. Logically speaking, she should be happy, but she knew her level. This price could totally hire an international supermodel.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    ¡°This sry is the price of an A-list supermodel. I¡­¡± Zhu Wen wanted to say that she was not enough for this sry.

    ¡°You¡¯ll definitely be an A-list supermodel in the future. I just invited you over in advance.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Zhu Wen with trust in her eyes.

    Zhu Wen was stunned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.?<i>After working for so long, even I didn¡¯t have this confidence. Where did Xia Wanyuan get such confidence from??</i>

    ¡°Do you want to sign it?¡± Seeing that Zhu Wen did not speak, Xia Wanyuan asked again.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhu Wen pursed her lips. She would definitely work wholeheartedly for Xiu Yi.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about the fashion industry, so she asked Zhu Wen to stay to exin some things to her.

    ¡°In that case, the fashion show is a very good publicity window?¡± After hearing Zhu Wen¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan was very interested in the fashion show.

    ¡°Mm, usuallyrge brands will have their own fixed time fashion shows. Brands like Camellia attract the attention of the world every year.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand. Happy cooperation. It¡¯s gettingte. Go back early.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time.?<i>Jun Shiling would probably get off work soon.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s intuition was extraordinarily urate. Just as she thought of Jun Shiling, her phone rang.

    ¡°Baby, where are you?¡± Jun Shiling seemed to have juste out of the meeting room, and it was still a little noisy on his side.

    ¡°I¡¯m at Xiu Yi. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    ¡°Wait for me for a while. I¡¯lle and pick you up. We¡¯re going to Grandpa¡¯s house for dinner today.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and hung up the phone.

    Outside the meeting room of the Jun Corporation, everyone walked seriously and looked straight ahead.

    In actual fact, they could no longer suppress the gossip in their hearts.

    The moment Jun Shiling disappeared into the elevator, the employees erupted.

    ¡°Did you hear what CEO Jun called the person?!!! Baby!!! Oh my god, I almost broke my leg.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of breaking your leg? CEO Jun didn¡¯t call you that. When he¡¯s in a rtionship, he¡¯s so gentle. Boohoo, I¡¯m so envious of his wife.¡±

    ¡°I wonder when I¡¯ll see Madam Jun appear. Who could subdue the living King of Hell to this extent? Please write a book, Madam Jun. I want to buy it.¡±

    At that moment, Madam Jun, who was being nagged, was choosing these clothes that she had designed herself in boredom. Speaking of which, she had never tried them on herself.

    The salesperson now knew who the real boss of this shop was and treated Xia Wanyuan very respectfully.

    ¡°CEO Xia, why don¡¯t you try this dress? It suits your temperament very well. It was personally designed by our chief designer.¡±

    Even Shen Qian did not know that the entire Xiu Yi was designed by Xia Wanyuan. He thought that Xia Wanyuan had hired a designer from somewhere, let alone the staff below.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the short skirt ced in the disy window. Thinking that since she was going to her grandfather¡¯s house today, there was no harm in wearing formal attire, so she got the salesperson to bring the clothes over.

    The clothes designed by Xia Wanyuan perfectly fit the curves of a person¡¯s body, hiding their physical ws to the greatest extent and magnifying their merits.

    To a person like Xia Wanyuan, whose figure was filled with merits, the beauty of this dress was pushed to the limit.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the clothes in the mirror. They looked good, but the curves were too obvious. It was not good to go to her grandfather¡¯s house dressed like this.

    Xia Wanyuan changed into a more loose set again, but before leaving, she still took that dress away.

    ¡°You changed your clothes?¡± Jun Shiling sat in the car and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who had entered. ¡°You¡¯re beautiful.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan listened to Jun Shiling¡¯s praise with a smile in her eyes. ¡°CEO Jun, is this really your first time in a rtionship? You¡¯re so good at praising people.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted and pulled her into his arms.

    He would never tell Xia Wanyuan how many books like ¡°The Best Boyfriend¡± he had read somewhere Xia Wanyuan did not know.

    He had never dated anyone, but he wanted to give Xia Wanyuan the best.

    What others had, Xia Wanyuan had to have it.

    What others did not have, Xia Wanyuan would have too.

    Lin Jing, who was in charge of preparing all the learning materials for Jun Shiling, chuckled.?<i>¡®CEO Jun sure likes to coax his wife. I¡¯m really miserable as a single dog who goes to all the bookstores to help him coax his wife every day.¡¯?</i>

    ¡°What are you snorting for? Jun Shiling, you¡¯re so fierce to me now?¡±

    ¡°When did I be fierce to you?¡±

    ¡°Many times.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed her luck.

    ¡°Stop fooling around.¡± Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Do I dare to be fierce to you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and didn¡¯t speak. She leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and rested.

    Not long after, the car arrived at the courtyard.

    Old Master Jun was apanying Xiao Bao in the courtyard looking at the newly bought bird when he looked up and saw Jun Shiling talking to Xia Wanyuan with a gentle expression.

    Recently, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had rarelye. Old Master had always heard from Uncle Wang that Young Master and Madam were especially lovey-dovey. Old Master Jun still did not believe it.

    Jun Shiling had a cold personality since he was young. Old Master Jun could not imagine how clingy his grandson could be.

    Now that he saw it, Old Master Jun¡¯s wrinkled face was a little embarrassed.

    Old Master turned around and the corners of his lips could not help but curve up. ¡°Good child, I think you¡¯re going to have a sister soon.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Xiao Bao, who was focused on ying with the bird, was immediately happy when he heard ¡®sister¡¯.

    <i>A cute and adorable sister!!</i>

    Xia Wanyuan, who was pulled into the courtyard by Jun Shiling, happened to hear Old Master¡¯s words. Her face flushed red and she hurriedly tried to shake off Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, but Jun Shiling held it especially tightly.

    ¡°Grandpa.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan bowed to the old master.

    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Old Master looked at their interlocked hands and the corners of his lips could not help but curve up. ¡°The food is ready. Let¡¯s go in and eat.¡±

    During the meal, Old Master Jun watched Jun Shiling pick fish bones and food for Xia Wanyuan meticulously.

    For the first time in her life, he felt that he did not know this grandson of his.

    After eating, Old Master Jun left Xiao Bao behind and sent Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan away.

    Young people were passionate and sweet. As an old man, he really could not stand it.

    Gaia City.

    People were already used to war. Before the smoke dissipated, a bonfire had already lit up in the night sky.

    The survivors were celebrating their survival. The whimpering sounds from somewhere mixed with the singing by the bonfire were so strange that it was frightening.

    A pair of siblings with extremely outstanding appearances who looked like they had escaped from the battlefield followed the crowd and sat beside the bonfire.

    The rebels set up checkpoints at the city¡¯s pass.

    An Rao¡¯s skin was tender and her hands were fair and wless. One look and one could tell that she did not look like she was a soldier. No one would suspect her.

    With An Rao¡¯s protection, Xia Yu followed her into the city.

    ¡°I received news. Did you see the building over there? That¡¯s where Bo Xiao is imprisoned.¡± Xia Yu lowered the brim of his hat. ¡°I¡¯m going to lure the guards away. There¡¯s a big bell upstairs. Knock it three times after you go up and hide quickly. Come out when our people arrive.¡±

    He shouldn¡¯t have let An Rao do such a dangerous thing, but there were too few people now and the reinforcements had not arrived.

    However, they could not wait anymore. If they were anyter, Bo Xiao would be transferred to another ce. It would be even more difficult to get close to him.

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao¡¯s palms were sweating, but she still nodded calmly.

    Under the cover of the night, the two of them walked in different directions ording to the nned route.

    In Continent M, in a tall and bright house, a woman in gorgeous clothes was engrossed in the drawing board in front of her.

    The sunlight danced on her shoulders as if it had fused with the golden light on the drawing board.

    As thest paint fell,

    ¡°That¡¯s great, Li Na. Your painting skills are really getting better and better. If you can gain Master Danny¡¯s favor this time, Mom¡¯s years of hard work will not be in vain.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, I will definitely win Master Danny¡¯s love.¡± The woman called Li Na turned her head. She had an extremely beautiful Oriental face, but there was a Western romance between her brows.

    At this moment, a servant stepped forward. ¡°Madam, Miss, Mr. Blue asked us to send this invitation over.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The mother and daughter took the invitation excitedly.

    The person called Madam looked at the words on it and her expression turned ugly.

    ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Na took it and saw that it was Chinese. The signature was from the Wei family.

    ¡°Go and tell him that I¡¯m not feeling well and not suitable for a long journey. Ask him to send someone else.¡±

    ¡°Madam, Mr. Blue said that you must go personally.¡± The servant was calm.

    ¡°Alright, I understand. You can leave.¡± The middle-aged woman waved her hand and fell into deep thought as she looked at the invitation in her hand.

    Time passed second by second in Gaia City. The cheers by the bonfire had reduced greatly, and the entire city began to slowly quieten.

    The hotel, which had a hole blown up in it, was like a strange person with a missing arm in the night. It stood in the city center and looked into the distance.

    Due to the high quality of this hotel, many people from other countries stayed in it. Even if it exploded, they would try to avoid it.

    However, the fight a few days ago was too intense, so it could not help but be affected.

    Many of the windows in the hotel were still lit. The people here were not afraid of war, as they were used to it.

    An Rao carried her bag and walked into the hotel. Gaia City had signal detectors all over the city. When Xia Yu and An Rao entered the city, they did not bring anymunication devices. At that moment, they were really alone. An Rao was frightened, but she maintained her calm on the surface.

    The detector at the entrance of the hotel tested her. Seeing that her skin was tender and she did not look threatening, he let her in.

    An Rao¡¯s palms were covered in cold sweat as she forced herself to calm down and walk upstairs.

    Xia Yu had told her that the electricity here had notpletely recovered. An Rao went around to a blind spot of the surveince cameras, entered the corridor, and climbed ten floors.

    An Rao was covered in ayer of sweat and panting, but she did not dare to breathe loudly. In this quiet corridor, she was afraid that even her breathing would disturb someone.

    The journey to the top floor was rtively smooth.

    An Rao saw the big bell.

    Once a bell with a diameter of nearly two meters rang, it would be the most iconic bell in the city. The others hidden in the city and the reinforcements outside the city would immediately know where the target was.

    Just as An Rao climbed to the roof, gunshots appeared in the west of the city.

    An Rao knew that it was Xia Yu.

    As expected, gunshots sounded. Standing on the top floor, she could see teams of cars rushing towards the west of the city. An Rao took the opportunity to hug the clock beside her and bang it on the big bell.

    Because she had used too much strength, the skin on An Rao¡¯s delicate hand had been scraped.

    ]Dang! Dang! Dang!

    Three times.

    When no one noticed, the workers hidden in the city¡¯s sewers, the disabled people who were begging, and the customers who were buying fruits gradually walked to the darkness and rushed in the same direction.

    The others also noticed the unusual sound of the bell. In the darkness, the patrollers began to gather at the hotel.

    An Rao returned the way she came.

    Because she was too flustered, she did not know that she had lost her shoes when she ran back.

    When she finally arrived at her floor, An Rao let out a long sigh and ran towards her room.

    Just as she was about to cross the corner, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. There were footsteps in front.

    An Rao held her breath and stepped back barefoot. However, the elevator not far behind her had just sounded the notification for the floor to be reached.

    An Rao felt as if she had fallen into a fire. All the pores on her body exploded, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

    The footsteps approached and the elevator dinged. An Rao felt that her heartbeat was so loud that it could draw people over.

    At that moment, An Rao felt as if she could smell death.

    An Rao steeled her heart and grabbed her hair, preparing to act as a sleepwalker. She was about to make the first move and turn around the corner.

    A hand suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth. Then, he quickly dragged her into the room and closed the door quietly.

    At that moment, a team of inspectors happened to walk past the door.

    An Rao was dragged into the room. The room waspletely dark. An Rao used her elbow to hit the abdomen of the person behind her.

    Unexpectedly, this scene made the person behind her groan as if he was in extreme pain.

    An Rao was stunned when she heard this groan. ¡°Bo Xiao?¡±

    ¡°Idiot.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s voice came from the darkness. His tone was filled with obvious anger as he gritted his teeth. ¡°Who asked you toe?! Do you know where this is?¡±

    He had only heard movement outside and wanted to check the situation. Who would have thought that when he looked out of the peephole, he would see An Rao¡¯s face? At that moment, his heart almost stopped from fright.

    Bo Xiao wanted to say something, but An Rao pounced on him.

    ¡°Boohoo, Bo Xiao, you¡¯re fine. You¡¯re still alive.¡±

    An Rao had been following Xia Yu and the rest for the past few days to discuss countermeasures and learn the situation in Gaia City. She had passed through more than half of the city alone and avoided theyers of blockades. She had even been so frightened that her heart had almost stopped.

    Upon hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s voice, An Rao¡¯s fear and grievance seemed to be released. She was like a baby beast that had passed throughyers of difficulties and finally found its support.

    As if he made up his mind, Bo Xiao suddenly reached out and pulled An Rao tightly into his arms. An Rao cried until she was out of breath in his arms. Afraid that people outside would hear, An Rao only dared to whimper softly.

    After some time in the darkness, the clothes on his chest were already wet from An Rao¡¯s crying. Bo Xiao helplessly stroked An Rao¡¯s hair. ¡°I¡¯m in pain. Let go of me first.¡±

    An Rao let go of Bo Xiao, who walked to the side and lit a small kerosenemp. The dim yellow light illuminated a corner of the room.

    It was only then that An Rao saw Bo Xiao¡¯s appearance. His clothes were all torn, and his body was covered in wounds from the explosion. Blood was still flowing out of some ces, and there were some injuries on his arm. It did not look like he had been injured by the explosion, but like someone had done it.

    An Rao¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with tears again.

    ¡°Ancestor, don¡¯t cry. We have to find a chance to get out first.¡± Bo Xiao could not bear to see An Rao cry.

    ¡°Mm, the reinforcements will be here soon.¡± An Rao suppressed her tears and kept herself from crying.

    ¡°Listen to me. Someone is transporting a batch of information from the Chinese embassy. They¡¯re handing it over in the backyard. They¡¯re about to leave. I have to stop them. Wait for the reinforcements here and don¡¯t move.¡±

    To Bo Xiao¡¯s surprise, he was still thinking of how tofort An Rao and make her understand his actions. An Rao had already nodded calmly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you toe back.¡±

    ¡°Good girl.¡± Bo Xiao did not care that he had just escaped from the detention center. He packed his things and prepared to go out.

    Walking to the window, Bo Xiao suddenly turned around and nced at An Rao. Then, he saw that the arrogant and peerless An Rao was biting her lips and crying like a child.

    Bo Xiao suddenly felt that the pain of rolling across the fire could notpare to the pain in his heart now.

    Bo Xiao turned back and nted a gentle kiss on An Rao¡¯s forehead, then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Wait for me toe back.¡± Then, he jumped out of the window without looking back.

    An Rao bit her lip so hard that it was bleeding. She did not say a word and just watched Bo Xiao disappear out the window.

    The gunshots in the west of the city became more and more frequent, and the ce closest to the hotel gradually became chaotic. An Rao stayed in the dark room and kept listening to the sound of cars, guns, and screams outside.

    In the early morning, there was even a shockingmotion in the backyard of the hotel.

    An Rao looked at the window in a daze. Only when the sunlight shone in through the window did she move.

    An Rao looked down through the gap in the window. The bright red g floated up high, and the air was filled with light and warmth.

    However, An Rao was in no mood to celebrate her survival.

    She pushed open the door and ran to the backyard.

    The backyard of the hotel was an extremely widewn. At that moment, thewn was filled with debris.

    On the flipped grass, the car was overturned. On a broken helicopter not far away, the propeller was still slowly turning.

    An Rao looked at the broken arms and limbs on the ground and felt disgusted.

    ¡°Is there anyone else?¡± An Rao grabbed the Chinese guard beside her. ¡°He came here yesterday. Is he out?¡±

    ¡°Who? There was an explosion here yesterday, and no one here survived.. Miss, who are you looking for? I¡¯ll check for you.¡±

    After speaking, the soldier turned around and saw the beautiful youngdy crying.

    ¡°Liar.¡± An Rao squatted on the ground, her tears falling.

    ¡°Miss, my condolences. This ce hasn¡¯t been cleaned up yet. Why don¡¯t you sit by the side for a while?¡± Seeing that An Rao was crying so sadly, even the soldiers could not stand it anymore and theyforted her.

    However, An Rao was extremely sad and could not listen to anyone else.

    Soon, the soldiers had a mission and left. An Rao looked at the debris on the ground alone.

    She had only known Bo Xiao for a short while, but now, An Rao truly felt as if the entire world had copsed.

    An Rao sat there alone and cried for a long time.

    ¡°Why are you so sad? Are you afraid of being a widow?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s smiling voice suddenly sounded.

    An Rao was stunned and thought that she had heard wrong.

    ¡°An Rao, I¡¯m fine.¡±

    An Rao suddenly turned around when she heard another voice from behind her. She saw Bo Xiao, who was wearing a hospital gown and holding a bottle of medicine, looking at her with a smile.

    An Rao stood up, but because she had squatted for too long and was too sad, the world spun around her and she fell.

    However, the pain that she had expected did note. Bo Xiao steadily held An Rao in his arms.

    An Rao felt the heat of Bo Xiao¡¯s hand around her waist and tears welled up again.

    Bo Xiao quietly watched An Rao cry for a while before sighing. He helped An Rao up and slowly walked into the ward with An Rao in one hand and the medicine bottle in the other.

    As Bo Xiao pulled An Rao, she felt that Bo Xiao was holding her hand more and more tightly. In the end, An Rao felt that it was painful, so she called out to Bo Xiao, ¡°Bo Xiao, be gentle.¡±

    However, Bo Xiao did not let go. Instead, he pulled An Rao into the house. Without even looking, he swung his right hand and hung the medicine bottle on the shelf. He kicked the door closed and pressed An Rao against the wall.

    An Rao still remembered the needle in Bo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Bo Xiao, be careful... Mm.¡±

    An overwhelming kiss fell on An Rao. Bo Xiao¡¯s body was burning and his temperature was abnormally high.

    His actions were also very rough. It was not gentle love, butplete plunder.

    It was as if he was venting the madness in his heart through the gap between life and death.

    An Rao endured it passively, feeling like she was about to drown in Bo Xiao¡¯s strength.

    After some time, An Rao felt blood seeping out of Bo Xiao¡¯s back. She hurriedly pushed him away. ¡°You¡¯re bleeding!¡±

    Bo Xiao grunted. ¡°Mm.¡±

    His already injured body had be even weaker afterst night¡¯s actions.

    He had been carried from the backyard to the ward on a stretcher. At that time, he was already unconscious.

    For some reason, Bo Xiao suddenly woke up after lying on the bed for a while. Thinking that this stupid woman, An Rao, was definitely crying, Bo Xiao forced himself to take the medicine bottle and walk to the backyard. As expected, he saw An Rao, whose face was covered in tears.

    After walking back and forth and the kiss just now had exhausted Bo Xiao¡¯sst bit of energy, Bo Xiao responded and copsed on An Rao¡¯s shoulder.

    An Rao was shocked. She reached out to check Bo Xiao¡¯s breathing and ced him on the bed before hurriedly looking for a doctor.

    After the doctor finished bandaging him, An Rao sat by the bed and waited.

    Looking at Bo Xiao, who was pale but still handsome under the nket, An Rao touched the corner of her lips and blushed.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan saw the message from An Rao that said she was safe and finally felt relieved.

    Although she did not say anything, she had been worried about this matter in her heart. Now, both of them were safe.

    Xia Wanyuan sat by the window and looked at the information Professor Zhang had given her. She saw something she didn¡¯t quite understand and was about to call Jun Shiling when she looked up. Jun Shiling was busy, so Xia Wanyuan stopped.

    However, less than a minuteter, Jun Shiling walked over. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°How did you know that there was something wrong with me?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. <i>This person was really amazing. He could guess what I was thinking.</i>

    Jun Shiling smiled but did not answer.

    Even at work, he was still very concerned about Xia Wanyuan. Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze on him, he quickly settled the matters on his hand.

    ¡°This is the information Professor Zhang gave me. Who is Master Danny? Why is there a family fight in the paintingpetition?¡± Xia Wanyuan was well-versed in Chinese literature and history, but she was indeed unfamiliar with family history abroad.

    ¡°Danny is a recognized master in the world painting industry. Besides his identity as a painter, he also has the support of thergest financial group in Continent M. Many people participate in the paintingpetition so that they can link up with the family behind him through him.¡±

    Other than a few talented people who could stand out on their own, most families had strong capital and had gathered countless manpower and wealth to nurture an artist.

    And in the top circles of the painting world, every single one of them had a top family standing behind them. To be able to enter this circle meant that they had entered their ranks.

    After hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan was clearly speechless.

    It was clearly meant to be beautiful and filled with the art, yet it could be mixed with so many things.

    Just like in her previous life, many people clearly did not know painting and calligraphy, but in order to be elegant, they still spent arge sum of money to buy famous calligraphy and paintings and hung them at home.

    It seemed that even after a thousand years, people had not improved on their hical acts.

    ¡°Go and participate. There¡¯s nothing wrong with feeling the style of other ces.¡± Jun Shiling scratched the tip of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nose. ¡°Anyway, you don¡¯t have to cling to any family.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°I only need to cling to CEO Jun, right?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re promising.¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to Continent M when the timees. I have something to do there.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Do you know what I want to do now? Aren¡¯t you the best at guessing?¡±

    Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face helplessly. ¡°You can¡¯t eat ice cream at night.¡±

    ??!

    Xia Wanyuan felt that it was amazing. <i>I clearly did not say anything, so how did Jun Shiling guess that I wanted to eat ice cream? </i>

    ¡°Jun Shiling, are you a fortune teller? No, I want to eat it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been worried about An Rao and Bo Xiao for the past few days and had not been able to eat or taste anything. Now that she was finally relieved, Xia Wanyuan became greedy. There were two more ice creams that Jun Shiling had brought back for herst time, and Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of them.

    ¡°Be good. You can¡¯t eat cold food at night.¡± Jun Shiling kept his bottom line.

    ¡°Hubby.¡±

    ¡°Okay, eat a third..¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s bottom line copsed effortlessly.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan sessfully ate half a chocte vani heart crispy ice cream. The remaining half naturally fell into Jun Shiling¡¯s stomach.

    Jun Shiling had never liked sweet food. The sweet food he had eaten recently wasparable to the sum of his past twenty years.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s unwilling expression, Xia Wanyuan smiled and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°The book said that eating sweet food makes one¡¯s mood better.¡±

    ¡°The books are right.¡± Jun Shiling nodded seriously. ¡°However, ice cream isn¡¯t as sweet as you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan instantly sensed danger. Before Jun Shiling could move, she immediately stood up. ¡°I haven¡¯t asked you topensate for the dress yesterday. Can you control yourself?¡±

    The dress that she had bought at Xiu Yi that day did not escape Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes in the end.

    Xia Wanyuan followed his wishes and wore it. Six hourster, the dress ended its short and gorgeous life.

    ¡°Compensation, no restraint.¡± Jun Shiling was concise.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°Why are you always thinking about this every day?¡±

    ¡°Because I like you very much every day.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan very seriously.

    In the past, he had also felt that desire could be controlled. People indulged in women because they did not have strong self-control, but he liked Xia Wanyuan too much. He liked her so much that whenever he thought of her, whether mentally or physically, he wanted topletely possess her.

    And in front of Xia Wanyuan, his self-control could not withstand a single blow.

    ¡°That¡­ That can¡¯t be every day¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan held her forehead helplessly.

    ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t torture you today. Go to sleep. You¡¯re tired from painting too.¡± Jun Shiling stepped forward and picked her up. ¡°When did I torture you every day? Do you really think I¡¯m made of iron?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan secretly thought,?<i>I really thought you were made of iron.</i>

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not say it, Jun Shiling knew what she was thinking from her expression. His eyes immediately filled with smiles.

    It was still early, so Jun Shiling chatted with Xia Wanyuan on the bed.

    In this era where information exploded and smartphones were everywhere,

    Other than asionally looking at Weibo messages and ying games with An Rao, Xia Wanyuan only treated the phonework as a tool to contact.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s lifestyle was more like that of an ancient person than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. His phone waspletely used to chat on WeChat with Xia Wanyuan. Other times, it was useless.

    When the two of them were together, they never needed to rely on other things to pass time.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s daily work life was very monotonous: meetings, decisions, supervision.

    However, Jun Shiling would tell Xia Wanyuan what documents he had agreed to and which proposals he had rejected every night.

    Xia Wanyuan had neverined that what Jun Shiling said was boring. On the contrary, she would always ask all sorts of questions curiously, so Jun Shiling patiently answered them for her.

    Unknowingly, a few hours passed, but the words seemed to never end.

    After listening to Jun Shiling talk about the big families in Continent M for a while, Xia Wanyuan was a little sleepy. She yawned and crawled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Sleep.¡± Jun Shiling stopped exining and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I like you more and more,¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned and said casually. Then, as if she was extremely sleepy, her breathing gradually calmed.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle breathing on his chest, Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at her, then smiled helplessly.

    People wouldugh when he said it.

    They had already been together for so long, but his heart still beat like a drum because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    He wanted to give her all the good in the world.

    The lights in the city gradually dimmed, and most people had already fallen

    asleep.

    Meanwhile, the Chinese Go club was brightly lit.

    It was already eleven o¡¯clock at night, but ording to the training n Jack

    had designated for the club members, this was still the time for training.

    Ever since they woke up at six in the morning, they had been jogging and

    exercising. Even a young man in his twenties could not handle the endless

    training schedule.

    Under the light, the sound of chess pieces intertwining could make one sleepy.

    Li Yi had always been training hard, but now, his upper eyelids were fighting

    with his lower eyelids. The chessboard in front of him gradually blurred, and

    his mind was a mess. He had no idea what to do.

    ¡°Focus on training!!¡± A sudden p on the back of his head startled Li Yi. He

    stood up and saw the tall Jack standing beside him.

    Because thest time Xia Wanyuan came, Li Yi and she had embarrassed Jack

    in front of everyone. In addition, Li Yi was Elder Liu¡¯sst disciple, so Jack had

    been finding fault with him all the time.

    ¡°Youl¡± No man could stand being pped in the back of the head. Li Yi clenched

    his fists tightly and gritted his teeth to endure it. Thinking that the annual

    assessment of the Go Association wasing, he could not let Jack catch his

    weak points.

    After all, Jack was the head coach now. He could determine their lives and

    deaths. The Master Competition wasing soon. At this juncture, he could

    not cause trouble.

    Seeing that Li Yi was being bullied, the others rushed over and looked at Jack

    angrily.

    Jack looked at them disdainfully. Now, the China Go Association relied on him

    to train people to enter the Master Competition. Even the officials of the Wen

    Corporation had to support him. What were these team members worth?

    You defied the teacher in public. Train for another hour. The rest of you, go

    back to sleep now and get up tomorrow morning for training.¡± After Jack

    finished speaking, he saw that no one was moving and shouted, ¡°Go!¡±

    Only then did the others leave, leaving Li Yi alone in the chess room.

    Jun Shiling did not sleep for the entire night.

    At first, it was because of what Xia Wanyuan had said. Xia Wanyuan slept wel

    while Jun Shiling tossed and turned for the entire night.

    When she finally felt sleepy, X¨ªa Wanyuan hugged him tightly again.

    The ice cream that Xia Wanyuan ate was specially made by Jun Shiling. The

    ingredients chosen were all top-notch natural ingredients. The smell of vani

    mixed with the sweet fragrance of chocte seeped out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s

    breath and wrapped around Jun Shiling for the entire night.

    Xia Wanyuan had a good night¡¯s sleep. Her skin was so clear that it was as if

    she had just been scooped out of milk. Inparison, Jun Shiling seemed to

    have been sucked of his essence, and his eyes were filled with fatigue.

    Xia Wanyuan was scalded by the warmth of Jun Shiling¡¯s body. She rolled the

    nket aside and said fiercely, ¡°It¡¯s so early in the morning. Go and wash up

    and help me get dressed. I¡¯m going out.¡±

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ferocity, whichcked spiritual energy,

    was another form of cuteness. Jun Shiling smiled, got out of bed, took a

    shower, and brought clothes for Xia Wanyuan to wear.

    ¡°Are you going to ss at Qing University today?¡± Jun Shiling split the custard

    bun slowly and fed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Yes, there¡¯s a demonstration ss in the morning. In the afternoon, I have to

    attend a celebrity lecture organized by the school. Then, Ill wait for you to pick

    me up and bring me home.¡± Xia Wanyuan had nned her day quite well.

    Okay.¡± Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows slightly and took a sip of the milk. ¡°Its

    strawberry-vored. You¡¯ll like it.

    Xia Wanyuan drank a cup of water with Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. After eating and

    drinking her fill, Jun Shiling stood up, took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bag, and

    apanied her out the door. Then, he sent Xia Wanyuan to the Phantom and

    turned around to sit in the private car that he had not seen in a long time.

    Xia Wanyuan poked her head out of the car window. ¡°You¡¯re not sending me?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t send you.¡± Jun Shiling sat in the car behind and said calmly.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little disappointed. However, Jun Shiling was

    probably going to do something, so Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t think much of it.

    What made Xia Wanyuan feel strange was that although Jun Shiling did not

    send her, his car had been following Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know what Jun Shiling was up to and called him.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, aren¡¯t you going to work? Why are you following me?

    ¡°I like you and want to follow you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice sounded.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re so childish.¡± Since Jun Shiling did not say anything, Xia

    Wanyuan did not ask further and hung up the phone.

    The car gradually arrived at the school¡¯s entrance. It was going to be the

    hundred-year birthday of Qing University soon. Over the past few days, alumni

    had returned one after another, and there were especially many lectures and

    activities in the school.

    When Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and saw the banner at the door, she

    immediately understood why Jun Shiling had sat a separate car from her.

    Now that everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan was a celebrity professor at Qing

    University, Xia Wanyuan received all sorts of cheers the moment she got out of

    the car.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had been in Qing University for so long, so no one was

    as surprised as before.

    Instead, Jun Shiling, who had gotten out of the car by the roadside, caused the

    cheers at the scene to be the most enthusiastic.

    Knowing that Jun Shiling wasing, the school specially sent the school

    leaders to wee him.

    A group of leaders walked past Xia Wanyuan and surrounded Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan did not turn around and walked forward. Jun Shiling greeted the

    leaders and followed Xia Wanyuan.

    ss was about to start, so Xia Wanyuan went to the office to get her teaching

    tools before entering the ssroom.

    Then, she realized that the students, who were usually very active, were quiet

    today.

    The students did not stop like this in the previous demonstration ss?

    When Xia Wanyuan stepped into the ssroom, she saw a row of school

    leaders sitting in front of the ssroom.

    Behind the table in the middle was Jun Shiling, who had been sitting and

    coaxing her to eat in the morning with a softugh.

    Everyone in the ssroom looked towards Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan scanned

    the room and then nced at Jun Shiling.

    Before anyone realized, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan calmly walked to the podium.

    Every quarter, the school would introduce some good teachers in the sses to

    give demonstrations. At that moment, not only were the front rows of the

    ssroom filled with leaders, but thest row of the ssroom was also filled

    with cameras.

    Xia Wanyuan thought that Jun Shilinging to listen to the lecture had been

    arranged long ago.

    However, five minutes ago, the leaders had apanied Jun shiling on a tour

    of the campus. Jun Shiling listened to the leaders¡¯ introduction of the campus

    and casually sighed. ¡°I haven¡¯t listened to Qing University¡¯s sses in a long

    time. I still miss them a lot¡±

    As the first ce on the school¡¯s annual alumni donation rankings and the first

    ce who had far surpassed the second ce, Jun Shiling could casually sigh,

    but the leaders could not listen casually.

    A leader immediately replied, ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re here at the right time. A young

    and promising professor has recentlye to our Qing University. The course

    she¡¯s teaching is very popr with the students. There¡¯s still some time before

    the afternoon meeting Why don¡¯t youe with us for a lesson¡±

    There was nothing strange on Jun Shiling¡¯s face, as if he was wondering if this

    lesson was worth it.

    That teacher is rtively young. The Physics Department has a lecture as well.

    Why don¡¯t we listen to that?¡± A more thoughtful teacher suggested.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Academician Jiang teaches his ss very wel¡±

    The leaders also realized that although Xia Wanyuanlectured well, she was still

    young. It was not appropriate for Jun Shiling to attend the lecture. Thinking

    about it now, it was still Academician Jiang¡¯s ss that was okay.

    ¡°Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. ¡°Which profession does the younger

    teacher teach?

    ¡°Ancient literature.¡±

    Jun Shiling thought for a while. ¡°Let¡¯s go and listen to literature sses. I

    studied science when l was in school back then, but I haven¡¯t really listened to

    Qing University¡¯s literature sses.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s go together.¡± Hence, apanied by the leaders, Jun Shiling

    arrived at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ssroom.

    At that moment, the students sitting in the ssroom were about to explode in

    their hearts

    Not only could they hear X¨ªa Wanyuan¡¯s ss, the star teacher of the Qing

    University

    They could even see the back of Jum Shiling¡¯s head with their own eyes!

    What divine luck?

    If not for the cameras behind them, the students would have taken out their

    phones to take photos and capture the moment.

    The lesson today was about environmental appreciation in ancient literature.

    Although there were many leaders and cameras present, it did not affect Xia

    Wanyuan¡¯s sses at all.

    Xia Wanyuan casually drew the mountains on the ckboard.

    Then let¡¯s start with the ¡®Dreaming Elder Bids Goodbye¡¯ that everyone is most

    familiar with. Li Ba?¡¯s works have always been adorned with mountains and

    rivers

    During the two hours of sses, there were no pauses in the middle. From Wu

    Tong¡¯s clear autumn to the colorful flowers, from the Pre-Qin Poetry Scripture

    to the Song Dynasty melody.

    Xia Wanyuan quoted the scriptures as if the long river of history was in front of

    her. With a casual grab, she could take out a hundred-year-old history. With a

    tap of the brush, it would be the brilliant life of a poet.

    Jun Shiling sat under the podium and watched Xia Wanyuan speak eloquently.

    Her every move had a shocking beauty. This beauty was precipitated from the

    inside out, and it prated the elegance and movingness of the soul.

    If the camera was ced in front, it would capture the deep admiration in Jun

    Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    There¡¯s still ten minutes until ss ends. Everyone can speak freely. You can

    ask whatever questions you have.¡±

    Every time before ss ended, she would leave ten minutes for the students to

    ask questions for her to answer. It was the same today.

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, many people in the ssroom

    raised their hands.

    Jun Shiling was one of them.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling helplessly. Why was this person joining in

    the fun?

    Knowing that Jun Shiling must have bad intentions for joining in the fun for no

    reason, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t n to bother with him.

    However, the group of leaders sitting beside Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan

    crazy looks that she could not ignore even if she wanted to.

    ¡°Then please tell me, CEO Jun. What¡¯s your question?¡± Under the gazes of more

    than ten leaders, Xia Wanyuan finally pointed at Jun Shiling.

    When Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s helpless expression, the smile on his face

    could not help but overflow, and he became gentle.

    When the leaders and students saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, they were

    shocked.

    Fck! What¡¯s going on?!

    Why is CE0 Jun smiling at Xia Wanyuan like this?!!

    ¡°I love my wife very much.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his raised hand, his eyes filled

    with gentleness. ¡°Listen¨ªng to Professor Xia¡¯s lecture has benefited me greatly.

    I want to hear what poem Professor Xia will use to evaluate my wife and me?¡±

    When Jun Shiling said this, everyone¡¯s doubts disappeared and turned into

    envy.

    Some time ago, Jun Shiling¡¯s earth-shattering Weibo confession had caused a

    hugemotion. Now, seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, everyone secretly

    thought that Jun Shiling really loved his wife.

    ¡°Unlike others, Xia Wanyuan was filled with speechlessness. She felt that

    Jun Shiling hade to listen to her ss on purpose.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was only stunned for a second. In front of so many

    cameras, there was nothing strange on her face.

    ¡°As the rumors say, CEO Jun is indeed very loving with your wife.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and nodded.

    Then this one,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she wrote two lines of poems on the

    ckboard with a piece of chalk. ¡°May I be like the Star Lord and the moon,

    shining brightly at night. May CEO Jun and Madam Jun be like the stars and the

    moon, loving each other for a long time.¡±

    Jun Shiling could tell that Xia Wanyuan had written off the chalk because she

    had used too much strength. He could not help but want tough. He pretended

    to cough twice and covered the smile on his face with his hand.

    ¡°I¡¯m not very familiar with this poem. Professor Xia, can you tell me the

    meaning behind it?¡± Jun Shiling continued to probe from the cliff.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up the chalk that she had already put down and

    began to tell the story of the poem again.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was holding the chalk made a mark on it.

    He was someone who would not be stumped even if he discussed poetry with

    me at home for three days and three nights. Who would believe that he was not

    familiar with ¡°The Distant Chariot¡±?

    Everyone in the ssroom: We believe him. After all, Jun Shiling won¡¯t discuss

    poetry with us at home

    After Xia Wanyuan finished ¡°The Distant Chariot¡±, the bell rang. Xia Wanyuan

    left the ssroom after ss.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling, who had walked out of the ssroom apanied

    by the leaders, received a Wechat message.

    ¡°Sleep in the living room tonight and watch the stars and moon slowly.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and sent an emoticon of a cat touching one¡¯s head, but what

    he received was a reply that ignored him.

    Alright, Fm so amused

    ¡°Principal Yang¡± Jun Shiling suddenly stopped.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? The surrounding leaders¡¯ hearts skipped a beat. Could it be

    that he didn¡¯t like the ss just now? That shouldn¡¯t be. Didn¡¯t he smile quite

    happily just now?

    ¡°After listening to Professor Xia¡¯s lecture, I feel that Qing University is indeed

    worthy of its name as the pir of support for the domestic literary arts.

    Chinese literature is worth more people learning and excavating. I will add

    another two billion to the special education donation this year.¡± Jun Shiling

    even specially emphasized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss had given him this

    impulse to donate.

    ¡°That¡¯s great. The next generation of students is lucky to have a senior like

    you.¡± Upon hearing the additional two billion dors, Principal Yang was so

    happy that he could not close his mouth.

    The other school leaders and professors around them were also overjoyed. The

    teachers¡¯ research funds could be increased again.

    How many research projects could this increase?! The researchers¡¯ bonuses

    could also be increased. Principal Yang felt that Xia Wanyuan was really a lucky

    star.

    The demonstration lesson that Xia Wanyuan taught was released on the official

    tform for free after the entire recording.

    As usual, everyone found Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses on the official website of Qing

    University. They clicked on them.

    Why did this young student¡¯s side profile look so much like Jun Shiling¡¯s??

    Only when the introduction appeared in the video did everyone dare to confirm

    that it was really Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was actually listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture. This magical

    chemical reaction instantly became trending

    The scenes of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses and Jun Shiling¡¯s poems were intercepted

    and recorded.

    (To be honest, I¡¯m attracted to Xia Wanyuan. IfI had sucha powerful teacher,

    why would I worry about not being able to attend Qing University?]

    [What do you mean by quoting the scriptures? I¡¯ve really seen how to be rich. I

    finally know why she¡¯s a professor at Qjng University.]

    The thought of going to Qjng University and listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s

    lecture on the spot makes me feel like my phone doesn¡¯t smell good anymore.

    Bye, everyone. I¡¯m going to study. I¡¯ming to Qing University. ]

    [ Don¡¯t you think CEO Jun is very flirtatious? He¡¯s asking for poems for himself

    and his wife or something. Oh my god, what a doting smile. ]

    ( To me, who has an especially strong sense of immersion, the moment I saw

    Jun Shiling¡¯s smile, I was already prepared to have Jun Shiling and my child

    properly.

    When the management of Star Creation Entertainment saw that the big boss

    and his artistes had gone on the newS together, they immediately rolled up

    their sleeves and gathered the Intermet Water Army, afraid that theizens

    would move Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in another direction.

    Even the management of Star Creation Entertainment was prepared to take

    advantage of the chaos to criticize the inexplicable ¡°Sovereign Summer CP

    hype.

    The Inte Water Army had been hired, but the managenment was called to

    the Jun Corporation headquarters for a single meeting.

    After leaving Lin Jing¡¯s office, the management was still a little confused.

    What did he mean by not needing to care about the CP blowing up??

    What did he mean by appropriately stopping public opinion and notpletely

    stopping it?

    Did I miss out on something important? Doesn¡¯t CEO Jun have a very loving

    wife? How can he allowa CP conversation to exist?

    Special Assistant Lin Jing was Jun Shiling¡¯s messenger, so his meaning

    represented Jun Shiling

    He walked out of the corporation headquarters in a daze. The manager was

    about to start the car when an idea shed across his mind.

    An incredible thought struck his mind.

    The manager stepped on the elerator excitedly, startling the traffic

    policeman in front of him.

    !!

    The manager hurriedly stopped the car. No, this shocking secret was too scary.

    I had to slow down.

    ¡°May I be like the Star Lord as the moon, the light of the night shining

    brightly:¡± It upied the trending list. The number of views of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s

    sses increased more than ten thousand times that day.

    The tall trees attracted the wind. Xia Wanyuan had be a professor at such

    a young age and had even stolen the limelight online. Naturally, some people

    were jealous.

    <h4>Chapter 615: Eating at the Same Table</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios I Editor: As Studios

    As the highest education institution in the country, the threshold for

    professors at Qing University was quite high. Some people might not be able to

    reach the edge of Qing University even if they worked hard their entire lives.

    If it were other academician masters, those who had no fate with the Qjng

    University couldfort themselves that they did not have enough experience

    However, Xia Wanyuan was still a female celebrity in the entertainment

    industry at a young age. Not only had she be a professor at Qing

    University, but she had also stolen the limelight and be a demonstration

    teacher at Qjing University. This was a height that some teachers could not

    reach even after decades of hard work.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, who was praised by the outside world for her profound

    knowledge, many people scoffed. Those who could reach the level of a

    professor were all rich. Xia Wanyuan could not convince the public with just

    her knowledge.

    Some people who were not from the art department could not understand what

    was going on. To them, Xia Wanyuan was just good at marketing.

    The university industry had always emphasized academic research. Xia

    Wanyuan indeed did not have any major academic results that could convince

    the public.

    Gradually, some discordant voices sounded, but these voices were temporarily

    drowned in the sea of people, slowly seeping into the surroundings

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan stepped into Qing University, she knew that

    she would definitely face these doubts in the future. However, she didn¡¯t care

    about these things now.

    She was standing beside a group of leaders and talking to Jun Shiling.

    The Qing University also needed someone to show their face. As the current

    professor of the Qing University, Xia Wanyuan was a young talent who had

    been entrusted with the high hopes of a master of Chinese arts.

    The most important thing was that Xia Wanyuan was good-looking. Initially,

    in the news, Jun Shiling¡¯s looks could crush the good looks of the leaders of the

    Qing University. With Xia Wanyuan, the Qing University was brought back to

    its former glory.

    Xia Wanyuan sat quietly by the side and listened to the leaders and Jun Shiling

    chat.

    ¡°The academic level of the Qing University has indeed improved greatly in

    recent years.¡± Hearing the school leader¡¯s introduction, Jun Shiling nodded.

    Then, he suddenly changed the topic and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was

    acting as a quiet mascot. ¡°I have a mischievous son. He just listened to

    Professor Xia¡¯s lecture and thinks that he has gained a lot. I wonder if I can

    bring the child over to listen to Professor Xia¡¯s lecture in the future and let him

    ept the influence of national studies.¡±

    Under the enthusiastic attention of the leaders, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled

    ¡°CEO Jun, I naturally wee your praise.¡±

    A hint of a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He had always hidden his

    emotions very well, and only those who were most familiar with him could

    notice it.

    Xia Wanyuan was the person who could notice this subtle difference.

    There were cameras everywhere. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression looked wless,

    but Jun Shiling could feel that if there were no cameras now, Xia Wanyuan

    would definitely kick him.

    In the past years, Jun Shiling had always left after showing his face. This year,

    he had stayed for a long time.

    Jun Shiling was a walking money tree. The leaders would love for Jun Shiling to

    stay longer.

    If he was interested in something, he could just wave his hand and make

    another pile of donations. This was what the school leaders were most willing

    to see.

    ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. CEO Jun, why don¡¯t you have lunch at Qing University?

    Although it¡¯s not as good as the food outside, you can try and see if it still

    tastes like back then.¡±

    Okay, that¡¯s what I was thinking¡±

    It was a set of polite words said every year, a formal greeting done for show.

    This year, Jun Shiling actually agreed. The school hurriedly changed the n

    and created a private room in the teachers¡¯ canteen.

    Xia- face of the entrance ¨C Wanyuan was still apanying him.

    Jun Shiling was a distinguished guest and should be sitting at the top, but Jun

    Shiling looked at his seat. ¡°Tve been a little cold recently. Ill sit here far from

    the air-conditioner

    The seat by the door was usually reserved for juniors with lower seniority. For

    example, in front of the leaders, Xia Wanyuan could only sit by the door.

    Before the school leaders could reject, Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan.

    The leaders did not say anything else and called for the waiter to serve the

    food

    Jun Shiling habitually wanted to help Xia Wanyuan with the chopsticks and

    bowl, but he restrained himself after Xia Wanyuan kicked him lightly under the

    table.

    After all, they were people from the academic circle and did not have many

    formalities at the table. Furthermore, no one dared to persuade Jun Shilingto

    drink. Everyone ate quietly.

    Jun Shiling asionally reached out to stop the rotating table. Only after Xia

    Wanyuan finished picking up the food did Jun Shiling stop.

    Principal Yang noticed this detail, but when he saw that the table was filled

    with men, he knew that he would take more care of Xia Wanyuan, a female, if

    she sat beside him alone. He suppressed his doubts.

    Xia Wanyuan had recently be picky due to Jun Shiling¡¯s upbringing. In

    addition, there were many people around, so Xia Wanyuan did not have much

    of an appetite. She only ate a few mouthfuls before putting them down.

    Jun Shiling nced at it and put down his chopsticks. He looked at the other

    leaders. ¡°I won¡¯t be attending the afternoon meeting. Ill get someone to

    to the school to discuss the donationter.¡±

    The leaders naturally agreed. Jun Shiling ced his right hand under the table

    and gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s left hand. Then, Jun Shiling stood up and

    walked out of the dining room.

    After Jun Shiling left, the meal ended not long after. Xia Wanyuan followed Jun

    Shiling¡¯s message and walked to the back door of the Qing University. Just as

    she sat in, Jun Shiling reached out to hug her.

    However, Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had deliberately teased her today.

    She was angry and dodged to the side, avoiding Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan resentfully.

    CEO Jun, you¡¯re so ostentatious.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling with a

    faint smile. Her eyes were like hooks that tickled Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t eat your fill in the afternoon, did you?¡± Jun Shiling leaned towards

    Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Tll take you to eat fish. It¡¯s the same ce we wentst time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brows rxed.

    TIl bring you to row the boat after eating the fish, okay?* Jun Shiling added.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were no longer angry, Jun Shiling reached out

    and hugged her.

    Under the endless blue sky was a continuous mountain range. In the lofty

    mountains in the southwest of china that even the most advanced detectors in

    the world could not prate, shed-like processing nts were working day

    and night.

    This was a controversial area of several countries and also aw. It was a

    vacuum of justice.

    Every day, countless professionals transported from all over the world entered

    the shed to work until they died. Then, piles of corpses were transported into

    the sea by therge ship like frozen cans.

    What their blood had nourished was the most profitable belt in the world.

    ¡°King, our second batch of goods is selling very well in the ten countries in the

    southeast. We¡¯re about to invest in the fifth production line.¡± Jayce, who had a

    scar on his head, was handing a tray to the man sitting on the seat.

    The man in the seat stretched out a pair of smooth jade-like hands and fiddled

    with the experimental product on the tray. There were no ws on these hands.

    They werepletely different from the other people standing beside him,

    who were used to using guns and spears and had calluses all over their hands

    However, the way everyone looked at this elegant and handsome man was

    filled with fear and horror. It was a tremble that came from the soul.

    ¡°What about China?¡± The man¡¯s gentle voice sounded.

    ¡°We still can¡¯t form aplete channel in China. They¡¯re too strict.

    Furthermore, our Poison Scorpion Laboratory has been damaged in Continent

    F recently. It seems to be rted to China¡¯s cheetah assault team.¡± Jayce knelt

    down in fear and reported. The Poison Scorpion Laboratory was built by King

    single-handedly. Now that it had been damaged, he didn¡¯t know how King

    would punish him.

    ¡°Why are you kneeling? Get up.¡± The man seemed to be talking to himself.

    ¡°How many people are in China?

    ¡°There¡¯s 1.5 billion so far.¡± Jayce didn¡¯t dare to stand up.

    ¡°1.5 billion.¡± A strange light shed across the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°A quarter of the

    Earth?

    The people around him had never understood King¡¯s sometimes muttering to

    himself, and they did not dare to interrupt him. Thest person who had

    interrupted him was already feeding sharks in the Yama Trench, so they were

    silent.

    The man suddenly stood up. ¡°Bring the clothes over and follow me to the side

    to take a look.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Not long after, a group of fierce mercenaries followed a gentle man in a white

    long gown and gold-framed sses into the depths of the forest.

    It was the end of summer, in a small country in Continent Fat the edge of the

    equator. The weather was so hot that an egg could be cooked immediately on

    the ground.

    ¡°Dog man, you torture me the moment you wake up.¡± An Rao held the frozen

    milk in her hand and hurried into the ward.

    That day, Bo Xiaoli was unconscious and slept for ten hours before walking up.

    In the end, the first thing he said when he woke up was that he wanted to eat.

    An Rao went to ask the doctor. The doctor said that it was okay, so An Rao

    wanted to buy something delicious for him.

    Who would have thought that Bo Xiao would not eat what was bought outside?

    He looked at An Rao confidently. ¡°I want to eat what you make.¡±

    Bo Xiao frowned when An Rao rejected him. ¡°It hurts.¡± An Rao immediately

    went to the kitchen to make a bowl of porridge for Bo Xiao.

    He did not ask An Rao to cook for him today. Out of the blue, he wanted to

    drink frozen milk.

    Seeing that Bo Xiao was about to raise his arm and cry out in pain, An Rao took

    the lead. ¡°Stop, Ill buy it for you. Okay?¡±

    After the war, there was rarely any milk in many ces, let alone frozen milk

    An Rao ran for more than an hour before she found a milk shop with an ice

    cer.

    Thinking that the temperature was high and that the cold air had dissipated,

    An Rao quickened her pace and entered the ward. When she pushed open the

    door, she saw Bo Xiao sitting on the bed like a master ying a single-yer

    game on his phone.

    An Rao pursed her lips. Dog man

    ¡°You¡¯re here? You¡¯ve been looking for it for a long time, haven¡¯t you?¡± Bo Xiao

    looked up when he heard the door open. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s quite easy to find. I just had something on and went out for a while.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s serious tone made An Rao feel a little embarrassed.

    The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up, but he did not continue.

    An Rao walked over and handed him the milk ¡°Drink it. It¡¯s still cold. The

    doctor said that you can have some rice for lunch. What do you want to eat¡±

    ¡°My hand hurts. I can¡¯t open it. Help me open the bottle cap.¡± Bo Xiao did not

    answer An Rao but gestured for her to open the milk bottle in his hand.

    ¡°An Rao walked to the bed and reached out to take the milk bottle from Bo

    Xiao. Bo Xiao grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the bed.

    An Rao struggled for a while, but realized that she could not break free at all.

    Bo Xiao, who could not even open the bottle cap just now, was like a mountain

    and could not be shaken at all.

    ¡°What are you doing?!¡± An Rao red at Bo Xiao. It was unknown if her eyes

    were more angry or embarrassed.

    ¡°Let me ask you a question.¡± Bo Xiao grabbed An Rao¡¯s hand that was trying to

    break free. The bottle beside him clinked on the metal frame.

    ¡°Ask what? Let go of me first.¡± At that moment, being suppressed by Bo Xiao in

    an absolute manner, An Rao finally understood what kind of iron-blooded

    strength was hidden behind Bo Xiao¡¯s ostentatious appearance.

    An Rao struggled for a while. Suddenly, her face flushed red. ¡°Hooligan!! Get

    up!!

    ¡°I told you to stop moving¡± Bo Xiao was ufortable from An Rao¡¯s

    struggles and pinched her hand even more forcefully. ¡°Let me ask you, why did

    youe to Continent F?¡±

    ¡°Tm here for a vacation.¡± Meeting Bo Xiao¡¯s burning gaze, An Rao avoided his

    gaze ufortably.

    ¡°Travel to a ce where there¡¯s a war?¡± Bo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

    His eyes were filled with ¡®Continue pretending. Let¡¯s see how long you can

    pretend for

    ¡°Why do you care? Speaking of which, I¡¯m your savior!! Is this how you treat

    your benefactor? Get upl¡± Sensing the increasingly obvious abnormality in Bo

    Xiao¡¯s body, An Rao¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°Let me ask you onest time. What are you doing in Continent F?* Bo Xiao

    stared intently at An Rao, causing her to tremble in fear.

    IAn Ra0 was about to die of anger from Bo Xiao. Didn¡¯t he know why I was

    here?l He insisted on asking and insisted on hearing me say it myself. What

    was wrong with him?¡±I came for a dog man, okay?!

    An Rao almost shouted the second half of her sentence. Only after she finished

    speaking did she realize what she had said. However, she was suppressed by Bo

    Xiao and could not dodge even if she wanted to.

    ¡°Miss An Rao.¡± Unexpectedly, Bo Xiao did notugh at her but looked at her

    with a gentle smile.

    What?¡± An Rao subconsciously asked.

    Don¡¯t you like soldiers?¡± The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Major

    General Bo Xiao of the Third Army / District in China has applied to be your

    boyfriend.¡±

    After speaking, seeing An Rao stunned, Bo X¨ªao added, ¡°Tll protect you the way

    I protect the country.

    An Rao was stunned by Bo Xiao¡¯s words. She suddenly recalled that night, Bo Xiao had clearly just escaped from the center of the explosion, but he had resolutely turned around to stop the information from leaking.

    In the dim light, Bo Xiao¡¯s firm figure left a deep impression in An Rao¡¯s heart.

    How did Bo Xiao protect the country? With his life.

    And now, he said that he would protect her like he would protect the country.

    In an instant, An Rao¡¯s heart beat like a drum.

    ¡°You¡­¡± An Rao did not know what to say. Her palms were sweating nervously.

    ¡°If you agree, just blink. If you don¡¯t agree, just keep your eyes open for two minutes, okay?¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes, which were filled with lust.

    ¡°Two minutes. I¡¯m not a goldfish.¡± An Rao red at Bo Xiao, but An Rao was already good-looking, Even if she red, she looked seductive.

    ¡°Then you agree.¡± Bo Xiao had a gentle smile on his face. ¡°I saw you blink.¡±

    An Rao was about to retort when Bo Xiao lowered his head slightly and approached her. His gaze flickered. ¡°My little girlfriend.¡±

    His maic voice seemed to carry a string of electricity, making An Rao confused.

    MW

    Oh no, An Rao thought. I suddenly feel that Bo Xiao is so charming. What should I do? This dog man really knows how to flirt.

    Seeing that An Rao was stunned and did not speak, a smile appeared in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°My little girlfriend, can I kiss you now?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Just as An Rao finished speaking, Bo Xiao had already lowered his head and seized the sweetness he had yearned for a long time.

    A minuteter, Bo Xiao stepped back helplessly. ¡°Stupid, don¡¯t you know how to breathe?¡±

    An Rao was already stunned when she received a confession one second ago and kissed the next. She only new that Bo Xiao smelled good. Everything else was a blur in her mind, so how could she think of breathing?

    ¡°Why are you such a dog? I already said you can¡¯t, why are you still kissing me?¡± An Rao panted.

    ¡°Twas just asking symbolically. I didn¡¯t n to listen to you.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up, and he lowered his head to touch An Rao¡¯s face.

    ¡°As expected of a woman who likes to y with integrity. You dare to run to Continent F alone. Do you think you¡¯re ying games? You¡¯re really not afraid of death.¡±

    ¡°Continue talking. Who did I do it for?¡± An Rao was indignant. If not for Bo Xiao, she would be watching the drama on her soft bed with a facial mask on. Why would she be here?

    ¡°I know.¡± Bo Xiao kissed An Rao again and again, making her face itch. ¡°When do you want to get married? I¡¯ll prepare.¡±

    22227222?

    ¡°Bo Xiao, are you crazy? Why marry?¡± An Rao was shocked by Bo Xiao¡¯s train of thought.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for now. Two years, three years, five years. Tell me when you want to get married. I¡¯ll prepare slowly.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked like a yboy, but once he decided on someone, he was already prepared for life.

    ¡®An Rao had never met someone like Bo Xiao. He was so aggressive that she could not retreat, but she could not deny that he gave her a strong sense of security.

    ¡°Why are you saying this now? You have to give me time.¡± An Rao really did not know how to deal with Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes. ¡°Future Madam Bo, can you rest with me for a while?¡±

    Before An Rao could reply, Bo Xiao turned around and hugged her before covering the two of them with a thin nket.

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao gritted her teeth. Why did this man ask so gentlemanly just to pretend to be a B? When did he wait for me to answer?

    She thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she leaned into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms and fell asleep quickly.

    ¡®When An Rao¡¯s breathing gradually calmed, Bo Xiao, who had his eyes closed, opened them and looked at her quietly for a while.

    ¡°You¡¯re so stupid.¡± A smile appeared in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. You didn¡¯t know how dangerous Continent F was and dared to barge in foolishly.

    However, she had relied on this silly drive and fairness to attract his interest.

    Then, on Continent F, she barged into his heart.

    It was afternoon in China. The temperature outside was very high, and the poisonous sunlight shone on the trees.

    In the speeding car, Xia Wanyuan was eating a chocte-vored ice cream in the front passenger seat while Jun Shiling drove beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan finished a chocte vani stick and nced at Jun Shiling. After a while, she looked at Jun Shiling again.

    Jun Shiling helplessly slowed the car and turned around. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Give me another one, CEO Jun.¡± The weather was hot, and Xia Wanyuan was craving ice cream.

    ¡°We¡¯re going to eat in a while. Uncle Qin said that we can eat when we get there.¡± Jun Shiling ignored the anticipation in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She had already eaten one today and he was determined not to give in.

    Xia Wanyuan tried to act coquettishly, but Jun Shiling was abnormally firm today.

    ¡°Petty.¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head to the right and ignored Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling tried to speak to Xia Wanyuan, but she ignored him.

    In the end, Jun Shiling smiled helplessly and took out a small ss of fruit juice from the fridge behind. ¡°This won¡¯t happen again.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thest hundred million times.¡±

    ¡°Lotus Pond Moon Color¡± was far in the suburbs and they took a long time to get there.

    Xia Wanyuan sipped the cold and sweet fruit juice bit by bit and leaned against the window to look at the cotton candy-like clouds outside.

    Jun Shiling was focused on driving when he suddenly said, ¡°Baby.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan swallowed a mouthful of fruit juice and turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    As she spoke, she even smacked the corners of her lips. Jun Shiling knew her tastes too well. She really could not let go of the sweet and fragrant fruit juice.

    ¡°Are you a demon?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was very normal, as if he was asking what day it was today.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Why do you say that?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not the original Xia Wanyuan.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on the steering wheel was as steady as a rock.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She had no intention of hiding anything from Jun Shiling. ¡°But I¡¯m not a demon. I¡¯ma soul that came from a thousand years ago.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I understand.¡± Jun Shiling nodded, as if what he had heard was not something shocking at all but a very ordinary matter.

    Xia Wanyuan waited for a while, but Jun Shiling didn¡¯t continue asking her. She was a little curious. ¡°Jun Shiling, did you think that I was a demon the whole time? If I was a demon, what did you think would happen?¡±

    ¡°Tve thought about it.¡± The car drove steadily. Jun Shiling looked ahead and was extremely serious. ¡°If there¡¯s any way to be a demon, I can try it. If not, I¡¯ll give you the best when I¡¯m alive.¡±

    If he could be her kind, he would guard her by her side for generations. If not, he would give her endless love in his limited life.

    From the first time Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan four months ago, he had sensed something strange. With his intelligence, he naturally could tell that the current Xia Wanyuan waspletely different from the previous Xia Wanyuan, but her body and appearance were clearly the same as before.

    Jun Shiling guessed that Xia Wanyuan might be a demon. After all, he had never read those novels and had no concept of transmigration.

    However, to him, what Xia Wanyuan was didn¡¯t matter. He had been mentally prepared from the beginning. Now that he had finally heard the truth, Jun Shiling heaved a sigh of relief.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan felt mixed emotions. She wondered what Jun Shiling had been feeling when he interacted with her the whole time.

    ¡°Stop by the side,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said.

    Jun Shiling stopped the car by the roadside and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Then, Xia Wanyuan pounced on him. Xia Wanyuan, who had always been passive, took the initiative to raise Jun Shiling¡¯s chin this time, controlling the rhythm of everything.

    Jun Shiling sat where he was and did not move, letting Xia Wanyuan ravage his lips. Only when Xia Wanyuan wanted to retreat did Jun Shiling take the initiative and pull her back.

    A gentle breeze blew across the green leaves. Not far away, there was the sound of cicadas chirping.

    In the car, Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin and looked at her quietly.

    ¡°Tlike you a little more every day than the day before.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were sparkling.

    ¡°Coincidentally, me too.¡± Jun Shiling tapped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. ¡°It looks like I have to donate some money to the domestic historical world.¡±

    ¡°2¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    ¡°To thank history for leaving you by my side.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°No wonder you like to drink fruit juice. It¡¯s so sweet.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was bing indecent again, Xia Wanyuan red at him and pushed Jun Shiling away. ¡°Drive. I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat fish.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Jun Shiling sat back and started the car again.

    After solving the problem that had been hidden in his heart, Jun Shiling seemed to be in a good mood.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s album music flowed in the car.

    Unknowingly, they arrived at the lotus pond.

    In the past, when Jun Shiling came, Qin Kai had always cleared the area to wee him.

    Today was a rather strange day. There were a few luxury cars parked outside.

    Before Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan could get out of the car, a noisy person walked out.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow when she saw who it was. It was someone familiar.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan only got out of the car after Wei Yu and Wei Yang drove away.

    ¡°Uncle Qin.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and entered the courtyard.

    ¡°Hey! You¡¯re here!¡± Qin Kai¡¯s eyes darted between the two of them and heughed heartily. ¡°CEO Jun, your rtionship with Madam Jun is getting better.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and did not retort.

    Not long after the two of them sat down, Qin Kai began to serve the food. The gentle breeze brought the water of the lotus pond to her face. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appetite was aroused by the fish Qin Kai had made, and she buried her head in the delicacies.

    On the way to Beijing, Wei Yu and Wei Yang were indignant.

    He had heard that the fish made in the lotus pond was especially delicious.

    They had specially driven a two-hour car to ¡°Lotus Pond Moon Color¡± today, but the boss said that they had already been booked.

    No matter how much they increased the price, the boss did not give in at all. In the end, they had to go back hungry.

    ¡°Brother, I¡¯m starving.¡± Wei Yu pouted andined.

    ¡°Tm also hungry. What lousy lotus pond is this?¡± Wei Yang was angry at the thought of Qin Kai¡¯s impervious attitude just now.

    ¡°Brother, do you feel that Wei Zimu seems to have be like before again recently?¡± Wei Yu leaned against the window and suddenly thought of something.

    At the mention of Wei Zimu, Wei Yang frowned. ¡°I heard from CEO Liu that Grandma has the intention of handing the Wei family to Wei Zimu. And that Xia Wanyuan might very well share our assets.¡±

    ¡°What?! Why?!¡± Wei Yu raised his voice.

    ¡°Be quiet. I¡¯m still driving,¡± Wei Yang frowned. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about this yet. We have to go back and investigate.¡±

    ¡°Then hurry up!¡± Wei Yu urged. Now, she did not mention the ¡°lotus pond moon¡± fish.

    She was filled with thoughts of sharing the Wei family¡¯s assets with others, and it was the people she hated the most.

    After returning to the courtyard, Wei Yu and Wei Yang rushed to look for the Old Madam. They happened to bump into Wei Zimu, who was about to go out.

    Wei Yu felt that Wei Zimu had be gentle and easy to bully again in the past few days. She immediately became braver and stopped Wei Zimu. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Grandma said to let me inspect thend in the south of the city,¡± Wei Zimu replied gently.

    Thend in the south of the city?! Wei Yu and Wei Yang looked at each other. That was the Wei family¡¯s biggest project this year. Grandma actually asked Wei Zimu to do it.

    Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wei Zimu turned to leave.

    Wei Yang gestured with his eyes, and the guards behind the door immediately rushed out and captured Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Wei Zimu, when youe backter, tell me what you did today, okay?¡± Wei Yang tapped Wei Zimu¡¯s chest and said fiercely.

    Wei Zimu pursed his lips and did not speak. Even though he was grabbed, he still could not hide his charm.

    ¡°Did you hear that?!¡± Seeing that Wei Zimu was so gentle, Wei Yang¡¯s temper rose even more. He kicked Wei Zimu¡¯s leg directly, and Wei Zimu grunted.

    ¡°Brother, the butler is walking over.¡± Wei Yu tugged at Wei Yang¡¯s sleeve.

    Only then did Wei Yang signal the others to let go of Wei Zimu.

    ¡°You¡¯re just a dog raised by the Wei family. Remember your identity,¡± Wei Yang warmed Wei Zimu. Then, he tidied his cor and walked to the door.

    After the people dispersed, Wei Zimu bent down and brushed away the footprint that Wei Yang had kicked off his pants.

    The phone rang. Wei Zimu pressed the answer button.

    In the middle of a pile of shining metal instruments, a man in a white gown raised the corners of his eyes hidden behind his sses. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re being bullied.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s tone was much colder than when he faced Wei Yang just now.

    ¡°Brother, why must you always go against me for these ants?¡± The man¡¯s cold voice came from the phone with a bone-chilling coldness.

    ¡°Til hang up if there¡¯s nothing else.¡± Wei Zimu frowned and hung up the phone. To his surprise, the other party did not continue to call.

    Xia Wanyuan was eating leisurely when she suddenly received An Rao¡¯s call.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She took a bite of the fish that Jun Shiling had brought to her mouth. It was fresh and plump.

    ¡°Sister! Save me! Bo Xiao is too much!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? How¡¯s Bo Xiao¡¯s health?¡± Xia Wanyuan had been busy the past two days and had not paid much attention to Bo Xiao¡¯s condition.

    ¡°He¡¯s extremely good. He moves a stool every day to supervise me exercise. Do you think he¡¯s a devil?!¡± An Rao was almost angered to death by Bo Xiao.

    Ever since Bo Xiao woke up, An Rao had either made delicious food for him or traveled through most of the city to find snacks for him.

    In the end, the way this person repaid her was that he felt that her physical fitness was not good and wanted to supervise her running, and it was even the kind where she had to do tenps at a time.

    An Rao was speechless. ¡°Do you think he¡¯s crazy?! What kind of boyfriend is like this?!¡±

    ¡°Boyfriend? Did Bo Xiao confess to you?¡± Xia Wanyuan urately grasped the main point.

    ¡°_¡± an Rao: Oh no, I¡¯m exposed. ¡°Then, that¡¯s it.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you send me those 360 skills every day? It¡¯s actually very simple not to train.¡±

    ¡°| found it for you. I didn¡¯t notice it.¡± An Rao hid under the tree and saw Bo Xiao walking over with a hanging bottle in the distance. ¡°Sister, save me. I really don¡¯t want to run anymore. Boohoo, I haven¡¯t run since the college entrance examination.¡±

    Bo Xiao slowly walked to the tree and looked at the unhappy An Rao. A smile appeared in his eyes.

    In fact, he did not want An Rao to run because her physical fitness was poor.

    He only felt that An Rao¡¯s angry look was especially fun and made him want to bully her. And An Rao just happened to dislike sports, so he suggested supervising her running.

    ¡®Walking to the table, An Rao hung up the phone.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t run tenps today,¡± Bo Xiao reminded as he tapped the table.

    To his surprise, An Rao did not explode. Instead, she looked at him thoughtfully and stood up to walk to him. She looked at him without saying a word.

    After watching for about three seconds, Bo Xiao could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    An Rao steeled her heart and took a step forward. She wrapped her arms around Bo Xiao¡¯s waist and pecked his right cheek gently. She squeezed out a sweet voice. ¡°Darling, can I not run today?¡±

    Bo Xiao was stunned at first, then as if he had seen something interesting, he burst outughing. He did not even hold the bottle properly and almost fell to the ground.

    ¡°What¡­¡± An Rao¡¯s expression darkened. Didn¡¯t Yuanyuan say I can just act coquettishly??

    Why did this dog react like this when I acted coquettishly?!

    Yuan Yuan was definitely not wrong. That was this dog man¡¯s fault!

    ¡°Hahahahaha.¡± Bo Xiao barely suppressed hisughter, but his fox-like eyes could not stop smiling. ¡°Call me darling again.¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± An Rao let go of Bo Xiao¡¯s waist and red at him fiercely. She turned to leave, but Bo Xiao grabbed her wrist.

    ¡°Hahahahahaha.¡± Bo Xiao could not help but ask, ¡°How did you say your ¡®darling¡¯?¡±

    An Rao turned around and gave up. ¡°Darling, Da-re-ling, haven¡¯t you learned English? You¡¯re illiterate!¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Bo Xiao was almost amused to death by An Rao. ¡°If you call me that again, you won¡¯t have to run today.¡±

    ¡°Why should I run when you tell me to? Other people are pampered and coaxed when they¡¯re in a rtionship. I came all the way to look for you. Not only did you make me cook, but you also made me find milk for you. You even forced me to run ten rounds!!! I¡¯m so tired! And now you¡¯reughing at me.

    Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo.¡±

    The more An Rao thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She simply sat on the ground and cried, her tears flowing out like water droplets.

    There were many soldiersing and going, all of them secretly looking over.

    Bo Xiao was the highest-ranking official here. Everyone knew that an especially beautiful woman hade from afar to save him. Ever since Bo Xiao woke up, he had always teased An Rao. Everyone had seen it.

    Now that An Rao was crying from Bo Xiao¡¯s bullying, they looked at Bo Xiao with reproachful eyes.

    He did not grasp such a beautiful wife properly and actually made her cry. This was too much.

    ¡°¡­¡± Bo Xiao did not expect An Rao to cry either and immediately panicked. He looked coldly at the soldiers around him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to train?¡±

    Everyone dispersed.

    Only then did Bo Xiao squat down. ¡°An Rao, I¡¯m not mocking you.¡±

    ¡°And you said you didn¡¯t. Why are youughing at me? That¡¯s right, I just don¡¯t know how to act coquettishly. So what if you go and find someone who knows how to act coquettishly? Boohoo, you even made me run ten rounds. How inhumane.¡±

    The tip of An Rao¡¯s nose was red from crying. She looked pitiful but was as cute as a deer.

    Bo Xiao subconsciously smiled again. An Rao saw the corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curl up and she cried even louder.

    Bo Xiao squatted on the ground and suddenly leaned forward to kiss the corners of An Rao¡¯s eyes. The tip of his tongue curled gently and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

    An Rao was stunned..

    Bo Xiao took a step back and looked at An Rao. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Once you cry, I want to bully you even more. I bullied you because you were cute.¡±

    ¡®An Rao thought for a long time before understanding what Bo Xiao meant. ¡°Bo Xiao, who behaves like you?! I¡¯m going back to China now! You¡¯re too much.¡±

    ¡®An Rao stood up angrily and returned to the room to pack her luggage. Bo Xiao did not stop her, but he followed behind her and entered the room.

    Seeing that An Rao had really started to pack her clothes, Bo Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her. ¡°I was wrong, An Rao. I¡¯ve never thought of mocking you. I smiled because you were cute.¡±

    Bo Xiao spoke seriously, so An Rao was a little embarrassed. ¡°Who would believe your nonsense?¡± However, her hand stopped packing.

    Bo Xiao pulled her into his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry at me, okay? I won¡¯t let you run anymore.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao¡¯s ears turned red. ¡°Do I not know how to act coquettishly?¡±

    An Rao felt that other than her appearance being like a woman, she was like a tomboy in everything else. She also liked the old and fleshy Lian Po in games, and she was not like other youngdies who knew how to use Mengmeng as support.

    ¡°Nonsense. You¡¯re clearly good at it.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes curled up.

    In his eyes, she was a cute person everywhere and would act coquettishly in his heart no matter what she did.

    ¡°An Rao,¡± Bo Xiao suddenly called out to her.

    ¡°Mm?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so cute.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± An Rao replied calmly, but her entire face was flushed red.

    She leaned on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder.

    Although acting coquettishly was useless, I still achieved my goal. There was no need to run anymore. I¡¯m happy!

    Beside the lotus pond, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a faint smile. ¡°Professor Xia, you¡¯re very experienced.¡±

    ¡°_.¡±Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished teaching An Rao how to act coquettishly, fell silent.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smooth face. ¡°You know how to act coquettishly so well. Can you teach me in the future?¡±

    ¡± ¡°Xia Wanyuan also felt a little embarrassed. She picked up the te and sat on the other side of the table. ¡°There¡¯s no need for CEO Jun to pick the bones for me personally. I¡¯ll eat it myself.¡±

    Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan sit diagonally across him in amusement. He lowered his head, picked the fish bones for Xia Wanyuan, and handed them to her.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the fair and fat fish meat without any bones and finallypromised with the food.

    It was already past four in the afternoon when they arrived. After dinner, Jun Shiling sat with Xia Wanyuan for a while. The sun slowly slid down the sky, and the temperature dropped at the right time.

    In the endless lotus pond, Xia Wanyuan sat on the boat while Jun Shiling supported himself on the bow.

    The lotus flowers had all withered, and full lotus seed heads were hidden in the lotus leaves that connected to the sky.

    Xia Wanyuan asionally reached out to break off a lotus seed head. Not long after, the cabin was covered.

    Jun Shiling held onto the paste and watched Xia Wanyuan peel the lotus seeds.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling looking at her dotingly. She couldn¡¯t help but blush. ¡°Just row the boat properly. Why are you staring at me?¡±

    ¡°You look good.¡± Theers of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡®When Xia Wanyuan peeled the lotus seeds, she was like a child who had suddenly seen a very novel thing. Her eyes shone.

    Embarrassed by Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan fed Jun Shiling a lotus seed.

    In her previous life, in the depths of the Great Xia Dynasty¡¯¡¯s northernnd, Xia Wanyuan did not know much about the t boats in the south, so she did not notice the bnce of the small boats.

    Jun Shiling was about to remind her when Xia Wanyuan moved to his side.

    The boat swayed twice and was about to flip over.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly jumped into the lotus pond and supported the boat and Xia Wanyuan.

    After a ssh, Xia Wanyuan sat on the boat safely. Jun Shiling fell into theke covered in water.

    Jun Shiling rarely lost hisposure like this. Xia Wanyuan found it funny. She took a lotus seed and sshed some water on Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling let Xia Wanyuan y with him helplessly. It was rare for her to be yful.

    Perhaps the evening sun was too warm, or Jun Shiling was too gentle in theke.

    It reminded Xia Wanyuan of her previous life when she was still a little princess.

    Her parents doted on her a lot and knew that she liked lotus flowers. Although they could not grow them in the pce, her parents still found a way to raise some in water tanks.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan liked to fold the lotus leaves with her younger siblings and hang them on her shoulders.

    Because the juice of the lotus leaves had dirtied her pce gown, she was taught a lesson by her father.

    A fish jumped out of the water from somewhere in theke. With a ssh, it pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts back.

    Looking at Jun Shiling in theke, Xia Wanyuan reached out and folded a few lotus leaves.

    Qin Kai was pickling vegetables in the small building by theke. He looked up tired and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was draped in lotus leaves, talking to Jun Shiling with a ring of lotus leaves in her hand.

    ¡®They were too far away for him to see their expressions. He only knew that not long after, Jun Shiling, who was wearing a white shirt on theke, had a lotus leaf shawl on him.

    ¡®When the sun hadpletely fallen to the horizon, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan came to bid farewell to Qin Kai.

    Seeing the green marks on Jun Shiling¡¯s shirt, a smile appeared in Qin Kai¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Come back in the autumn and winter. I¡¯ll make grilled fish for you when the timees.¡±

    ¡°Okay, bye, Uncle Qin.¡±

    ¡®When they returned to the manor, Xiao Bao had been waiting at the door for a long time. Jun Shiling got out of the car and handed the lotus seed pod in the trunk to the servant.

    Xiao Bao leaned over to take a look and pouted in disdain when he saw Jun Shiling¡¯s green clothes. ¡°Daddy, why are you so unhygienic? You¡¯re so dirty.¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan had also gotten out of the car. Xiao Bao ran over and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg. His big eyes blinked as he frantically expressed his dependence and longing for her.

    Xia Wanyuan squatted down and kissed Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao saw the green mark on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Mommy, what happened to your shoulder? Are you hurt? Let me blow it for you.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Jun Yin, who was nothing like his biological son other than his appearance. Xiao Bao felt a chill on his neck and pulled Xia Wanyuan into the house. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m hungry. When are we eating?¡±

    In the end, the dinner was pork ribs stewed with lotus seeds that Xia Wanyuan had picked up. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were not hungry, so Xiao Bao ate tworge bowls alone.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan was about to see if anyone had looked for her today. She switched on her phone and saw dozens of messages popping up.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on the first post. It was a message from Tang Yin, a Weibo link.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on the link and took a look.

    Something happened again.

    However, she was not the one in trouble this time.

    It was An Rao..

    On the rank of trending topics, the topic ¡°Bo Yi and An Rao¡¯s rtionship exposed¡± continued to increase.

    Some paparazzi took intimate photos of Bo Yi and a mysterious woman on the ne to Continent 0.

    Coincidentally, An Rao¡¯s schedules had beenpletely suspended for the past few days, as if she had lost all contact.

    ¡®The two of them were currently filming advertisements in the same group. The marketing ounts naturally guessed that the mysterious woman was An Rao.

    Bo Yi was a famous ¡°noble young master¡± in the entertainment industry. In the hearts of the fans, he had always been a standard prince charming with excellent upbringing and had never been involved in scandals.

    From the photos, the woman sitting on hisp was rather proactive, as if she was throwing herself at him.

    This time, Bo Yi¡¯s many female fans were ignited.

    How could it be our baby¡¯s fault!! An Rao must have taken the initiative to seduce him!

    [ That bitch An Rao, look at her fox-like face. What else can she do other than seducing men? ]

    [I can tell from the photos that An Rao took the initiative to seduce our baby. Our baby didn¡¯t even reply to her, okay? Marketing ount, can you not write randomly? }

    [ An Rao is really disgusting. Xia Wanyuan is friends with such a person. The two of them are nothing good. ]

    [ The person in front, are you crazy? Did Xia Wanyuan provoke you? }

    It was midnight in Continent O, and two bodies were rolling on the hotel bed.

    [I threw up. An Rao is really too disgusting. }

    { Isn¡¯t it obvious? I remember there was news not long ago that An Rao failed to seduce a rich director, right? She¡¯s used to clinging to rich men. ]

    [ She really doesn¡¯t care about her face for money. I think she did it to get close to Bo Yi and freeload on his poprity and money. ]

    Bo Yi had a lot of fans to begin with, and most of them were strong female fans. Now that there was rification, the fans reposted it without restraint. Soon, the entire Inte knew about the news of An Rao seducing Bo Yi.

    At that moment, An Rao knew nothing about it.

    Continent F had just experienced war and chaos, so the signal was intermittent. An Rao did not pay attention to the domestic news.

    ¡°This apple isn¡¯t sweet. An Rao, I want something sweet.¡± Bo Xiao took a bite of the apple in his hand and called out to An Rao, who was chatting with someone outside.

    Here ites again. An Rao gritted her teeth. This dog man really demanded a lot every day. He was as delicate as anything.

    ¡°Tm sorry, I¡¯ll go in and see him first.¡± An Rao apologized to the doctor politely and entered the ward.

    ¡°This ce alreadycks fruits. It¡¯s already not bad to have some to eat. Why are you so picky?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao in disdain.

    ¡°Did you have a good chat with the doctor?¡± Bo Xiao said that the apple tasted bad, but he kept feeding it to his mouth.

    ¡°Lwas just asking about your condition. What¡¯s there to talk about?¡± Halfway through her sentence, An Rao suddenly looked at Bo Xiao as if she had understood something. She smiled mischievously. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re jealous?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Bo Xiao did not hide it. ¡°Come and chat with me..¡±

    An Rao slowly walked over and was pulled to the sofa by Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Come, tell me. What did you talk to him so happily about?¡± Bo Xiao hugged An Rao with his uninjured arm.

    ¡°Twent to ask him if your brain is burned and if you can do it in the future¡±

    ¡®What An Rao meant was to insult Bo Xiao. Seeing that he had so many wounds on his body, An Rao asked the doctor many questions about how to treat scars in the future.

    However, what An Rao said was not the case in Bo Xiao¡¯s ears.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know in the future whether I can or not.¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so eager.¡±

    ¡°..¡± Although An Rao had seen many pigs run, she had never eaten pork before. It took her a while to realize what Bo Xiao was talking about. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Lunderstand.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles.

    An Rao was scalded by the warmth in his eyes. She reached out to cover his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying.¡±

    Bo Xiao pretended to dodge, while An Rao leaned over. She did not notice and threw Bo Xiao onto the sofa.

    ¡°The two of them fell silent.

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao, whose face was gradually turning red, and the corners of his lips gradually curled up.

    In the early days, Bo Xiao had been involved in special confidential missions. No matter how his position was promoted, the outside world would not know.

    Later on, he gradually transferred to a position with average confidentiality. Because he did not want to receive too much attention, he applied for confidential treatment with his superiors.

    However, Bo Xiao looked at An Rao.

    ¡°Please inform them that I will be attending the award ceremony.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then rest well. We won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡±

    After the person left, An Rao looked at Bo Xiao curiously. Although she did not know anything about military affairs, she knew that special-ss merits were very rare. ¡°Bo Xiao, you¡¯re amazing.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ve never seen anyone with special-ss merit.¡±

    ¡°Do you admire me?¡± The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡°Allittle.¡± An Rao did not mean what she said. In fact, she wanted to say that she admired Bo Xiao very much. However, considering Bo Xiao¡¯s character, An Rao swallowed her words.

    ¡°Since you admire me so much, call me Hubby.¡± Bo Xiao blinked at An Rao,pletely different from the serious expression he had when he was talking to others.

    An Rao¡¯s eyes widened slightly, then she blinked. ¡°Hubby.¡±

    ¡°..¡± Bo Xiao was just teasing An Rao casually. Who would have thought that An Rao would not y ording tomon sense? This call made his heart stop.

    Taking advantage of Bo Xiao¡¯s daze, An Rao leaped out of his arms. When she reached the door, she turned around and made a face at Bo Xiao. ¡°Dog man.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Bo Xiao wanted An Rao toe back, but she had already walked away.

    Bo Xiao smiled behind him and took out his phone. Just as he unlocked the screen, he received a notification of ¡°An Rao and Bo Yi fell in love because of the drama¡¯.

    After clicking on a few news articles, the smile on Bo Xiao¡¯s face froze.

    After logging out of Weibo, Bo Xiao made a call and threw his phone aside. He looked out of the window.

    It was extremely hot outside. An Rao discussed with the olddy who was setting up the stall under the tree to buy a sweet melon fruit from the local market.

    Bo Xiao was injured and could only eat porridge recently. There was no taste after eating it too many times, so An Rao would put some vegetables and fruits in to change the taste.

    An Rao¡¯s learning ability was very strong. Although she had not stayed here for long, she could alreadymunicate with the locals in thenguage here.

    The sun was hot. It shone on An Rao through the leaves, burning her face.

    After hanging up Tang Yin¡¯s call, Xia Wanyuan buried her head in the painting in front of her.

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s name was already famous. Now that Xia Wanyuan was a professor at Qing University, she was extremely famous. More and more people looked for her to buy paintings. The small painting and calligraphy shop on Weibo had been empty for a long time.

    Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to sit in the study and draw for nearly three hours.

    It was only when Jun Shiling came in to remind her that it was time to sleep that Xia Wanyuan realized that the sky was already filled with stars and it was already eleven o¡¯clock at night.

    The fish and lotus leaves in front of her were alreadypleted. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they were about to jump out of the water.

    ¡°It¡¯s eleven o¡¯clock. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Jun Shiling walked in and hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind.

    ¡°1m done painting, Let¡¯s go to bed.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her brush and naturally reached out with both hands. Jun Shiling picked her up and walked to the master bedroom to put Xia Wanyuan down, then massaged her hands.

    People had sleep time, but not for news. The trending topic was still there.

    Countless rumors about An Rao had been found.

    About her seducing the director, being kept by the corporation¡¯s sugar daddy, and being treated as daughters, all sorts of messy news appeared.

    In everyone¡¯s impression, An Rao had automatically hooked up with the image of ¡°cozying up to someone in power¡±.

    In the past few days, other than the scandal between An Rao and Bo Yi, there was another important matter that attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Ina country with an important geographical location in Continent F, a sudden war had attracted a lot of attention not long ago.

    [ Although the officials only casually said a piece of confidential information, thinking about it, it¡¯s obvious how important the information is to our country, such that we¡¯ll give out a special-ss merit! }

    [ This name sounds so nice. I wonder how old he is. Is he married? I can! ]

    [ The military-stupid person in front, can you go and study? He might already have a grandson, when will it be your turn? ]

    [ We should broadcast more news like this. This is our China¡¯s backer. Thank you for your hard work!!! Only this should be on the trending topic. Those celebrity rtionships are so annoying. }

    Theizens mored to see the award ceremony, but this ceremony was extremely serious. There was no live broadcast, so everyone could only wait for the news at night.

    In the Bo family¡¯s vi, all the servants in the vi were woken up by Mo Ling early in the morning.

    Bo Qing did not return the entire night, and Mo Ling did not sleep the entire night either. She was drinking bird¡¯s nest with a haggard face.

    ¡°It¡¯s so hot. Do you want to burn me to death?!¡± Mo Ling¡¯s tongue was scalded by the bird¡¯s nest and she threw the bowl in her hand out. The bird¡¯s nest juice spilled onto the servant beside her, causing amotion.

    ¡°You can¡¯t do anything right. Get lost.¡± Mo Ling nced at the servant beside her and felt even more anxious.

    ¡®The servant standing beside her was a new little girl. Mo Ling had a bad temper. No matter how high the sry was, there were already a few batches of people who had left. The melon girl was only in her twenties, and her face was filled with cogen.

    ¡®The moment Mo Ling saw her, she thought of the women Bo Qing had raised outside and could not eat anymore.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the newspaper today?¡± Just as Mo Ling finished speaking, the servant endured the pain and brought the newspaper over. She handed it over carefully, afraid that Mo Ling would make things difficult again.

    Other people read the newspapers for national matters and financial trends, but Mo Ling was different. She read for Inte trends and entertainment tabloids.

    Bo Yi was from the entertainment industry, so Mo Ling had developed the habit of watching entertainment news. Every moming, she would get someone to write down news rted to Bo Yi for her to see.

    ¡°An Rao??¡± Mo Ling looked at the vixen-like An Rao on the newspaper and frowned.

    This person looked even more alluring than the most seductive vixen she had ever seen. One look and one could tell that she was not a good person.

    ¡®Mo Ling knew that Bo Yi was a yboy, but that was just for fun. Mo Ling turned a blind eye to it. It was the first time that someone had made a scene on the news.

    Seeing An Rao¡¯s face that was enough to charm all men in Mo Ling¡¯s eyes, an rm bell rang in Mo Ling¡¯s heart.

    She knew her son. The two of them had probably already gotten together. She had to help Yi¡¯er settle this woman and not let this woman affect Bo Yi.

    After reading Bo Yi¡¯s news, Mo Ling was about to close the newspaper when she saw a familiar name.

    ¡°Bo Xiao??¡± Mo Ling flipped through the newspaper and read the content. Then, she pursed her lips. He was probably someone with the same name.

    Bo Xiao, that useless piece of trash, had argued with Bo Qing a while ago that he wanted to go back to America to y. He felt that China was not fun, and Bo Qing could not wait to send him away. He immediately transferred arge sum of money to him and sent him back to America.

    Mo Ling took a tissue and wiped her mouth, then threw the newspaper aside. The wind blew in from the window and blew a corner of the newspaper.

    In the five-star hotel, Bo Qing opened his eyes and kissed the beauty beside him.

    ¡°CEO Bo, be gentle.¡±

    ¡°Gentler?? Who asked me to be harderst night??¡± Bo Qing¡¯s sleepiness disappeared and his hands began to move.

    At that moment, the phone rang and Bo Qing stopped what he was doing.

    ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Hello, CEO Bo, you¡¯re too unkind. Your son is so amazing, but you actually hid it. You¡¯re not nice enough.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s decent.¡± Bo Qing did not understand what CEO Liu meant for a moment, but the years of politeness made him habitually continue the sentence. ¡°Yier is still young, This achievement is no big deal.¡±

    In the beginning, Bo Qing could not stand seeing Bo Yi walk the path of the entertainment industry. However,ter on, he realized that Bo Yi could bring huge profits to hispany, so he gradually epted Bo Yi.

    Especially in the past few years, when the economy of fans had risen, Bo Qing could easily act in a movie. Even if he only invested a small sum of money, he could still obtain huge profits.

    ¡®There was arge sci-fi film starring Bo Yi this year. Before the film was released, industry insiders had already given a box office estimate of two billion dors.

    Bo Qing thought that CEO Liu had called to talk about this.

    ¡°What Yie

    ¡± CEO Liu was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a name called Bo Xiao? I saw him five years ago.¡±

    Hearing CEO Liu mention five years ago, Bo Qing recalled the wedding venue that Bo Xiao had caused trouble for and was furious. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡±

    ¡°Theard from my daughter that CEO Bo is so lucky.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Bo Qing did not believe it at all. He knew what Bo Xiao had done in America the best. ¡°CEO Liu, don¡¯t tease me. I¡¯ll be lucky if that evil creature, Bo Xiao, doesn¡¯t cause trouble. As for the one you¡¯re talking about, it¡¯s probably someone with the same name. Don¡¯t make fun of me.¡±

    Since Bo Qing had said so, CEO Liu felt that he might have made a mistake. He immediately felt a little embarrassed and chatted with Bo Qing for a while before hanging up the phone.

    After Bo Qing hung up the phone, he did not take this matter to heart at all.

    Bo Xiao could not evenpare to one-tenth of Bo Yi. He was useless like that crazy woman of his. Bo Qing did not even bother to verify it on the news.

    The sun gradually slid from the east to the west, and the moon quietly appeared.

    As usual, the Chinese news began at seven o¡¯clock sharp¡­

    As usual, the host first interpreted a few important instructions and then began the broadcast of important news both domestically and abroad.

    ¡°Under Comrade Bo Xiao¡¯s lead, the mission waspleted sessfully. Comrade Bo Xiao protected our country¡¯s important secrets with full loyalty and courage. Because of the huge contributions he has made, he will be given a special-ss / merit.¡±

    As the host introduced, the news camera kept switching.

    At first, the camera switched to the airport. The Chinese were queuing up in an orderly manner and stepping on the way home. Everyone had a genuine smile on their faces.

    When the introduction reached Bo Xiao¡¯s contributions, the camera switched to Bo Xiao, who was dressed in a white uniform and saluting not far away.

    The audience who did not know what was going on was still wondering which soldier was so good-looking.

    ¡®When some people who knew what was going on saw the stars on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulders, their hearts surged.

    They were all too familiar with what the stars represented, but the young man in the news looked to be in his twenties. How could he sit in such a position?

    After the news broadcast, it was followed by a live introduction of the state¡¯s special / award ceremony.

    In the news, it was clearly written this time. ¡°Special-ss merit recipient¡ªBo Xiao¡±

    Furthermore, the center of the camera had always been fixed on that tall and handsome man. This time, as long as one was not blind, they could tell who had obtained the special-ss merit.

    At the end of the news, under the fluttering red g, Bo Xiao was dressed in military attire with a medal of honor on his chest. His eyes were firm as he swore.

    ¡°Til always be loyal to the country.¡±

    After this news broadcast, the program¡¯s viewership ratings immediately fell by half.

    Because at least half the audience had gone to Weibo with questions.

    The poprity of this news on the Inte soared like a rocket.

    [ Mommy, someone, pinch me. Am I seeing things? ]

    [ I¡¯m about to have my leg broken by him. The key is that this person was so suave when he swore, but when he smiles, he has a bad, cunning, and handsome look. ]

    [Is there any justice in this world? Why are other people so good-looking, amazing, and young and promising? I¡¯m simply someone who makes up the numbers. ]

    The discussion about Bo Xiao became more and more popr. Soon, the news spread throughout Beijing.

    ¡°This? This is Xiao¡¯er??¡± It was rare for Bo Qing to retum to the vi. When Bo Xiao¡¯s name appeared in the news, Bo Qing subconsciously took a look. When he saw it, he was stunned for a long time. He only reacted when Mo Ling came to call him.

    However, Bo Xiao??

    When Mo Ling heard Bo Qing address Bo Xiao, she took a look at the news. Her palms were about to be crushed, but she had a smile on her face.

    ¡°I think so, but hasn¡¯t Xiao¡¯er been in magnesium country? Why would he go to Continent F? Is there a mistake?¡± Mo Ling could not believe that this little piece of trash had such an achievement. She suddenly recalled the time Jun Shiling came to eat a month ago. Bo Xiao seemed to have a good

    rtionship with Jun Shiling.

    In Mo Ling¡¯s eyes, everything could be bought with money. Mo Ling scoffed in her heart. Jun Shiling had probably helped Bo Xiao.

    Mo Ling stepped forward and supported Bo Qing. ¡°Isn¡¯t Xiao¡¯er on good terms with CEO Jun? Could it be that CEO Jun helped him? CEO Jun spent too much money on this.¡±

    Mo Ling did not know what a gold star represented, but Bo Qing knew. Also, the so-called special-ss merit on the news was not something that could be bought with money.

    ¡°What do you know?¡± When he was close, he could clearly see the wrinkles on Mo Ling¡¯s face. Bo Qing shook off Mo Ling¡¯s hand in disdain. ¡°If you have nothing to do, stop shopping and read more books. Otherwise, people willugh at our Bo family for being uneducated.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Mo Ling was furious at the disdain in Bo Qing¡¯s tone.

    She had always been a dancer. Although she had been addressed as Mrs. Bo all these years, the inferiority in her heart could not be erased.

    ¡°Forget it, you don¡¯t understand either. What¡¯s with the scandal about Bo Yi? Go and settle it quickly. The movie will be released soon, so don¡¯t let it affect the box office.¡±

    Bo Qing had wanted to stay at home for a day, but after Bo Xiao¡¯s incident and Mo Ling¡¯s stupid look, he lost interest. He picked up his clothes and left the house.

    Bo Xiao was attending the celebratory banquet when Bo Qing called one after another. Bo Xiao was annoyed and blocked the call.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Bo Qing called four or five times but could not get through. He threw his phone aside angrily. ¡°Unfilial son, you really don¡¯t know how to behave properly.¡±

    After Bo Qing left the vi, Mo Ling smashed the vase and dishes on the first floor again.

    ¡°Send a car. I¡¯m going out!¡± After venting her anger, Mo Ling brushed her hair. She had to settle Bo Yi¡¯s matter first.

    An Rao and Bo Xiao took a private ne back to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, Bo Xiao went to the award ceremony while An Rao returned to the film studio.

    She had been absent for a few days. If she did not return to work soon, An Rao felt that she might be scolded to death by her manager.

    She efficiently filled in the missing content in the past few days in a day.

    Almost everyone in the production team had left. It was not until nine o¡¯clock in the evening that An Rao ended the day¡¯s filming.

    Taking the water from her manager¡¯s phone, An Rao gulped it down. ¡°Pfft, I¡¯m so tired. I¡¯m finally done filming. We can go home!¡±

    ¡°An Rao, did you provoke someone? A wealthy madam who looks very rich came to look for you at around eight o¡¯clock. She¡¯s still waiting over there.¡± As the manager spoke, he pointed at a seat not far away. A rich madam with exquisite makeup was sizing An Rao up with obvious disdain in her eyes.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡± An Rao frowned and walked towards Mo Ling. ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Mo Ling did not answer An Rao. Instead, she looked at An Rao¡¯s curvaceous figure and the strap that revealed her snow-white shoulders.

    ¡°Trash like you want to climb into the Bo family¡¯s bed?¡±

    ???

    An Rao did not know much about the Bo family. She thought that this was Bo Xiao¡¯s mother and was cursing in her heart. Was I about to encounter a drama between a rich mother and daughter-inw?

    ¡°Auntie, what do you mean?¡± Considering that this person might be Bo Xiao¡¯s mother, An Rao suppressed the anger in her heart and asked as politely as possible.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you arrange for the photos of you and Yi¡¯er on the ne to be leaked? I¡¯ve seen many of your methods. Do you think you can climb up the socialdder just because you have a vixen face?¡±

    ?? An Rao understood now. This woman was probably Bo Yi¡¯s mother.

    To be safe, An Rao made a stop sign. When Mo Ling was confused, she took a photo and sent it to Bo Xiao. ¡°Do you know this person?¡±

    Bo Xiao replied quickly, ¡°This is someone idiotic. Has shee to look for you? Wait for me, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±

    An Rao was relieved.

    It¡¯s good that she was not Bo Xiao¡¯s mother. Now, things were much easier. An Rao ced her bag heavily on the table.

    ¡°Auntie, look at your expression. You¡¯re at least 60 years old this year. It¡¯s really hard on you to worry about your huge baby at such an old age. To be honest, your son really inherited your triangr eyes perfectly. He has a t nose and a square forehead. I find it disgusting to pack up and give ten billion dors to a man like him who¡¯s promiscuous and flirtatious. Where did you get the confidence to think that I fancy your son?¡±

    An Rao¡¯s non-stop scolding stunned Mo Ling.

    ¡°How dare you.¡± Mo Ling raised her hand to hit An Rao, but An Rao grabbed it.

    ¡°Auntie, you had toe and scold me. Who can you me?¡± An Rao shook off Mo Ling¡¯s hand and left with her bag.

    An Rao¡¯s voice was not soft. The production team and staff not far away watched in shock as An Rao scolded Madam Fu. They were all shocked by An Rao¡¯s aura.

    Furthermore, from what she said, An Rao was scolding Bo Yi¡¯s mother.

    This was big news. By the time An Rao¡¯s manager reacted and wanted to shut everyone up, they had already uploaded the video online.

    Manager: Oh my god!!! Can I jump off a building now?!! This time, I¡¯ll write my name backwards if An Rao doesn¡¯t get scolded to death.

    Now, he could not care less where An Rao went. He took his bag and ran towards thepany, hoping that the bosses would spare his life.

    Theizens were invested in the drama.

    One second, it was still ¡°An Rao is passionately pursuing Bo Yi¡±, but the next second, the topic changed to ¡°An Rao is scolding Bo Yi¡¯s mother.¡±

    Bo Yi¡¯s fans were furious and rushed into An Rao¡¯s Weibo, scolding her until she trended..

    What kind of image did Bo Yi have in the hearts of the fans? He was an untainted and elegant young master who did not understand the world.

    Now that Bo Yi was a ¡®yboy and promiscuous man that she would not want even if they gave her ten billion dors¡¯ in An Rao¡¯s words, the fans were furious.

    [F*ck, is she angry because she didn¡¯t hype herself up enough even though she sacrificed herself? ]

    [ I¡¯m so angry. Let me tear An Rao¡¯s mouth apart. How dare she scold my baby and my mother-inw? Who does she think she is? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t this too rude? She¡¯s an elder after all. It¡¯s too much. An Rao¡¯s quality is really bad. ]

    In Continent O, Bo Yi, who had just crawled out of Gentle Country, looked at Weibo and posted a Weibo post ording to his manager¡¯s instructions.

    @ Bo Yi: ¡°Fans, you have to listen to me. I¡¯ve always treated Miss An Rao as a good colleague. Everyone, be good and don¡¯t disturb others (stroke your heads). I¡¯ve already coaxed my mother. If we¡¯re kind to each other, the world will be better.¡±

    When Bo Yi¡¯s Weibo post was posted, the fans¡¯ hearts ached for him even more.

    [ Oh my god, how can my baby be so kind? The world kissed him with pain, but he repaid it with songs. I can love my baby for another ten thousand years. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t it obvious? Did Bo Yi indirectly respond when he said that he only treated An Rao as a colleague? In fact, An Rao really has feelings for Bo Yi, but Bo Yi didn¡¯t reply, so is An Rao angry from embarrassment? Women are so scary. ]

    Passers-by who did not know the situation saw An Rao¡¯s scolding and Bo Yi¡¯s Weibo. Their hearts ached for Bo Yi and they criticized An Rao.

    The inte was abuzz. Bo Yi¡¯s fans were spread across all ages. Even in the Qing University campus, there were some Bo Yi fans.

    Everyone knew that An Rao and Xia Wanyuan were good friends, so some fans had mixed feelings when they attended Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss.

    After the literary appreciation ss ended, Xia Wanyuan finished wiping the ckboard and turned around. The bell rang at that moment, and a female student in the back row of the ssroom raised her hand.

    ¡°This student, do you have any questions?¡±

    ¡°Professor Xia, ss has ended. Can I ask you a personal question?¡±

    ¡°Sure, tell me.¡± Xia Wanyuan threw the chalk into the box and looked at the questioner at the back of the ssroom.

    ¡°I heard that your rtionship with An Rao is especially good. Then do you think it¡¯s right for An Rao to scold Bo Yi and Bo Yi¡¯s mother in public?¡±

    Students who had just entered university were still people who were easily provoked. In addition, their idol had been scolded, so they could not help but want to seek justice for their idol.

    After hearing the question, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression did not change much. She gestured for the girl to sit down first.

    ¡°I can tell you very clearly about the question you asked. Sometimes, don¡¯t jump to conclusions too early or be blinded by superficial falsehoods.¡±

    After saying this, Xia Wanyuan put away her book and left the ssroom.

    The girl who asked the question was in deep thought. Was Xia Wanyuan saying that Bo Yi was faking

    it?

    However, thinking of Bo Yi, who she had chased for so long, she did not feel that it was possible. Xia Wanyuan definitely did not know Bo Yi well.

    After Xia Wanyuan answered the question, the video of her evaluation of Bo Yi and An Rao had already been posted online.

    Half an hourter, Xia Wanyuan was ready to go home after school. Just as she walked out of the school gates, she was surrounded by a group of Bo Yi fans..

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car was easy to recognize. Just as she stepped out of the school gates, she was stopped by a group of female students who looked like they were underage.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, you have to apologize to Bo Yi!¡±

    ¡°As expected, she¡¯s the same as An Rao!¡±

    The youngdies were furious. They looked as if they would not leave until Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and apologized.

    Xia Wanyuan did not take the words of these fans who were easily incited to heart. However, she was in a hurry to go to the production team. With these people blocking the car, she could not help but be stuck.

    After thinking for two seconds, Xia Wanyuan called the District Public Security Bureau.

    Xia Wanyuan had helped the Public Security Bureau with two major cases. Now, everyone in the Bureau knew her. In less than three minutes, the patrolling police car arrived.

    ¡°These people are causing trouble. I¡¯l leave them to you.¡± Xia Wanyuan simply pointed at the surrounding students and drove away.

    Those girls were mostly junior high students who had never seen such a scene. Seeing that the police were about to take them away, they immediately squatted on the ground and cried, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.

    The police had no choice but to criticize them and let them go.

    Not long after, there was a post on the Inte about Xia Wanyuan using the police¡¯s power to bully others.

    The person involved appeared and exined how Xia Wanyuan had called so many police officers with just a phone call and even wanted to punish underage weak children like them.

    Bo Yi¡¯s fans now viewed An Rao as a thorn in their side. After Xia Wanyuan had made such a statement, Xia Wanyuan had also be a thorn in their flesh.

    Seeing that his fans had been bullied so badly, Bo Yi¡¯s fans started a topic. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, An Rao, please apologize to Bo Yi.¡±

    Once the fans became excited, they would be quite capable.

    In just an hour, this Weibo post with the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan, An Rao, please apologize to Bo Yi¡± was reposted five hundred thousand times.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s Weibo were also upied by dirty words that could be seen everywhere.

    Xia Wanyuan was filming in the production team and didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to this, so she got Tang Yin and Chen Yun to pay close attention to the movements on the Inte.

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Bo Yi doing anything anymore? Isn¡¯t this the best time for him to set up his character?¡± Chen Yun refreshed Bo Yi¡¯s Weibo page again and again, waiting for this person to pretend to be innocent.

    ¡°Just wait. With his character, he will definitely use this opportunity to refresh his kind and magnanimous persona again. When the timees, we¡¯ll put his fierce news up. Only then will it be impactful,¡± Tang Yin said as she flipped through Bo Yi¡¯s information and clicked her tongue in wonder. ¡°I really

    couldn¡¯t tell that this person is good at dating though he looks quite weak.¡±

    As Tang Yin and Chen Yun had expected, after the fans pushed the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan, An Rao, please apologize to Bo Yi¡± to the trending topic, Bo Yi finally came out to reply.

    @ Bo Yi: ¡°I¡¯ve always been open and aboveboard with a clear conscience, so I¡¯m not afraid of other people¡¯s gossip. I believe that one day, they will remove their misunderstandings of me and face the sea. If everyone can be kinder, then the world will be even better.¡±

    Chen Yun refreshed for a long time and finally refreshed Bo Yi¡¯s new post. Instantly, he could not hold the water in his mouth and almost spat it on theputer.

    ¡°F*ck, this man is simply embarrassing our malepatriots. He¡¯s too disgusting. I have goosebumps all over.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. He¡¯s so open and has a clear conscience. How dare he use these words?¡± Tang Yin leaned over to take a look at Bo Yi¡¯s Weibo post and was disgusted.

    However, in the eyes of the fans, Bo Yi was the victim of everyone¡¯s nder, but he still insisted on being a kind-hearted victim. He endured the grievances in his stomach. He wanted to speak for the person who had scolded him and persuade the fans to be rational and kind.

    He was simply the best idol. Everyone¡¯s heart ached for Bo Yi.

    Our idol is so kind and magnanimous, so we can¡¯t let him suffer!

    With this in mind, the fans became even more enthusiastic in chatting.

    However, as they continued posting, they saw a Weibo post posted by Wan Shi Studio.

    There were words, video links, and 18 high-definition photos on Weibo.

    It was clear and logical, neatly sorting out Bo Yi¡¯s life and experiences.

    After reading Weibo, everyone¡¯s first impression was.

    Is this the same person as the Bo Yi I know???

    Has the character profile copsed too much??

    The studio had posted a total of ten video links. Some were Bo Yi and his female partner kissing passionately in the car, some were leaning against the window of the hotel, and some were at the beach abroad.

    The content of the videos were extremely hot. Towards the end, it had already reached the point where it could not be broadcasted without mosaic.

    In the eighteen apanying photos on Weibo, they detailed the women who had been rted to Bo Yi in the past five years.

    Theizens were stunned.

    [ This is the first time when I listed the number of Pao friends, I had to use boxes because there were too many people. 383 people. On average, there will be a different person every week. 6666. }

    L¡­ Look at the beach. It¡¯s obvious that his female partner is unhappy. Bo Yi even forced her. Isn¡¯t this considered a crime? ]

    [ Is this the young master of the entertainment industry that the fans say is pure and untainted?? I¡¯ve learned something. ]

    This wave of shocking news shocked the entire Inte.

    It was midnight in Continent O, and Bo Yi was drinking with the new white beauty. He was bombarded by calls from thepany and his manager before he knew what had happened in China.

    Bo Yi¡¯spany team searched for arge number of fake reviewers overnight. Bo Yi¡¯s fans did not believe that their idol was such a person at all and were questioning the authenticity of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio¡¯s news.

    Even Bo Yi¡¯s fans insisted that Bo Yi¡¯s face was not clearly seen in the video. It was all fake.

    Bo Yi¡¯spany followed the fans¡¯ train of thought and posted a notice.

    ording to the notice, thepany had sent awyer¡¯s letter to Wan Shi Studio asking them to be legally responsible for spreading rumors.

    Bo Yi went online again and posted on Weibo. There were only four words on Weibo: ¡°The innocent will be innocent¡±.

    Seeing how confident Bo Yi was in rifying, the fans became even more convinced that the video was fake.

    Instantly, crazy fans cursed Xia Wanyuan and An Rao online.

    The public rtions team behind Bo Yi used the fans¡¯ attack to fan the mes from behind. For a moment, the passers-by were confused. Was this video scene real?

    ¡®Once the matter became chaotic, the attention on An Rao scolding Mo Ling decreased greatly.

    However, the current An Rao did not have the leisure to pay attention to themotion on the Inte.

    The beauty just woke up after a nap. When she heard the doorbell ring, An Rao hummed a song and went to open the door.

    Then, she saw Bo Xiao standing at the door.

    ¡°Morning.¡± Bo Xiao waved a breakfast in front of An Rao.

    ¡°Morning, where are you going?¡± An Rao looked at the suitcase beside Bo Xiao with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. Didn¡¯t he just return to China? Where is Bo Xiao preparing to go?

    ¡°Tm not going anywhere.¡± Bo Xiao pulled his suitcase into the house and very consciously ced it in the guest room.

    Seeing Bo Xiao take out a toothbrush, toothbrush, and towel from the box, An Rao was stunned.

    ¡°What are you doing with these?¡±

    ¡°Tm here to stay in your house, Miss An Rao.¡± Bo Xiao stood up and smiled. Then, he walked towards the bathroom with a pile of things.

    ¡°An Rao reached out to stop Bo Xiao. ¡°I didn¡¯t agree. This is my house! Who allowed you to live here?¡±

    Bo Xiao turned around. ¡°Then can I make an application now?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± An Rao had always been used to living alone. Although she and Bo Xiao were a couple now, they had only confirmed their rtionship for less than a week. How could they live together so quickly?

    ¡°TI cook.¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Tl take you to work.¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Tl bring you to Glory.¡±

    ¡°_.¡± An Rao fell silent. Glory was a little too tempting for a ten-thousand-year-old noobie.

    Seeing An Rao hesitate, Bo Xiao smiled and stepped forward to flick her forehead.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. I won¡¯t do anything to you. I just want to be closer to you.¡±

    Bo Xiao was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Even if he always took advantage of An Rao verbally, he would not do anything if An Rao did not agree.

    His stay in the country was not fixed, and An Rao was an actress. He wanted to stay with her more, so he brought his suitcase over.

    ¡°Who would believe your nonsense?¡± An Rao rolled her eyes at Bo Xiao. Although she said that, she had already put down her hand.

    ¡°So what you mean is that you want me to do something?¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± An Rao pushed Bo Xiao away and scolded him with a smile. ¡°I want to eat braised beef in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    ¡°And cut chicken.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll make them for you.¡±

    Only then was An Rao satisfied. She sat on the sofa happily and watched the drama.

    After putting down the things, Bo Xiao came out and saw that An Rao was watching the drama happily. Her eyes were curved like the crescent moon in the evening, making one¡¯s heart itch.

    ¡°An Rao.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± An Rao looked away from the tablet.

    A warmth fell on her forehead.

    ¡°Collect a small interest.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and patted An Rao¡¯s head before turning to enter the kitchen.

    On the tablet, the drama continued to y, but An Rao could not stand it anymore.

    An Rao: What should I do? I feel that a dog man is more flirtatious than the male lead in a drama. I can¡¯t take it..

    The discussion about whether Bo Yi had dated more than 300 women continued to ferment, and the battle between Bo Yi¡¯s fans and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans was already in a mess.

    Facing such a huge poprity, the marketing ounts could not sit still anymore and began to dig deeper about everything behind Bo Yi.

    One of the marketing ounts received an anonymous tip as he dug.

    This informant sent over a photo that had never appeared in public before, a photo of a wedding scene.

    Bo Yi had mentioned in the interview many times that Bo Yi was the young master of the Bo family.

    However, very few people would delve into the past of the Bo family.

    However, this informant said that Bo Yi¡¯s mother had only married into the Bo family five years ago, and the previous Madam of the Bo family had left behind a child.

    The child¡¯s name was Bo Xiao.

    When the marketing ount saw Bo Xiao¡¯s name, it felt that it was familiar. Isn¡¯t this the same name as the young general who has been especially popr recently??

    ¡®When they saw the person in the photo, the marketing ount was stunned. Although he was still young back then, wasn¡¯t the arrogant boy sitting at the main table the young general who had just been on the national news a few days ago?!

    This was simply too explosive. The marketing ount hurriedly edited the contents of Weibo and posted it.

    ¡®As expected, this Weibo post was posted less than three minutes ago,

    and the topic ¡°Bo Yi and Bo Xiao¡± was trending.

    [Emmmm, I¡¯m so dizzy from watching this drama. What¡¯s going on? ]

    [ Our Bo Yi is the only son of the Bo family, thank you. Why is the marketing ount opening its mouth so casually? Where did this brothere from? Is he an illegitimate child? ]

    [ The fan in front, are you blind? Didn¡¯t you see that Bo Yi¡¯s mother only married into the Bo family five years ago? If we¡¯re talking about an illegitimate child, Bo Yi is the illegitimate child, right? ]

    [ You marketing ounts will pay the price for spreading rumors. Our Bo Yi is the only young master of the Bo family. Don¡¯t let any Tom, Dick, or Harrye and take advantage of our poprity. ]

    Bo Yiand Bo Xiao could not seem to be rted at all. Although everyone was discussing, they still maintained their doubts.

    Until a verified Weibo ount appeared in front of everyone.

    The name of the ount owner was¡­

    Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s first Weibo post was directly reposting that piece of news and adding words.

    ¡®Just a mistress and an illegitimate child.¡±

    [It¡¯s fake, right?? The marketing ounts nowadays are really amazing. They submitted their ounts so quickly. ]

    [I¡¯m speechless. Why are you pretending to be Bo Xiao? Can Bo Yi¡¯s anti-fans be any more shameless? }

    [ What brother? Didn¡¯t you see what Bo Xiao said? He¡¯s just an illegitimate child. Bo Yi is too disgusting. Now, I believe that the 300-plus girls thing is true. ]

    If Bo Xiao was just an ordinary person, his words might not have any weight.

    However, two days ago, he had just been praised by the official news. In everyone¡¯s hearts, he would never lie.

    The public opinion immediately turned to Bo Xiao.

    Fans who trusted Bo Yi deeply also developed doubts when they saw Bo Xiaoe out to rify himself.

    ¡°Bo Qing, save Yi¡¯er. Bo Xiao is too much!!¡± Mo Ling saw the news immediately. She did not even have time to call and went to thepany to look for Bo Qing.

    Unexpectedly, Bo Qing looked frustrated. ¡°How can I save him?? Look at the good son you raised. More than 300 women. How can he do that!¡±

    ¡°He was ndered!! It was because of Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao got someone to fake the news. Hubby, don¡¯t believe those things.¡± Mo Ling reached out to Bo Qing, but he shook her off.

    ¡°Xiao¡¯er is a young general and Bo Yiis an actress. What reason does Xiao¡¯er have to frame him? With a mother like you, it¡¯s no wonder that you raised your son like this. Stop embarrassing yourself here and get lost.¡± Bo Qing nced at Mo Ling in disdain.

    She was a dancer after all, and her son was not presentable.

    He couldn¡¯tpare to Xiao¡¯er, in the end, Xiao¡¯er was still more capable.

    ¡°You!¡± Mo Ling was about to say something when the office door opened.

    ¡°CEO Bo, you made me wait so long.¡± A delicate voice sounded from behind. Mo Ling turned around and saw a young and beautifuldy standing at the door.

    ¡°Is this the overtime you mentioned?!¡± Mo Ling¡¯s eyes turned red with anger and she pounced on the youngdy at the door. ¡°Vixen, who told you to seduce men.¡±

    There was a loud sound.

    ¡®Mo Ling covered her extremely swollen face and looked at Bo Qing in disbelief.

    Public opinion was abuzz on the Inte. After a day, although there were still some fans who trusted Bo Yi deeply, most of them had already believed Bo Xiao¡¯s words.

    Behind the public opinion, many managementpanies were staring at this matter. If Bo Yi fell, who knew how many resources he could spare?

    Everyone had watched for two full days. Seeing that the Bo family did not interfere in the conflict, they knew that the Bo family had given up on Bo Yi.

    [ l apologize for my blindness in the past. How could I like such a scumbag? I threw up. }

    The staff who were filming advertisements with Bo Yi and An Rao in the same group also appeared and spoke.

    Everyone exposed.

    In fact, when they were on the production team, Bo Yi had always been fawning on An Rao, but An Rao had never bothered with him.

    Now, no one med An Rao for scolding Bo Yi¡¯s mother.

    Everyone even said that the mistress deserved to be scolded.

    Bo Yi¡¯s persona had copsed, and arge number of advertisers had terminated their contracts with him. After thepany investigated and learned what he had done, they felt that Bo Yi had no future, so they gave up on him.

    ¡®Mo Ling¡¯s heart ached for Bo Yi, and she went to plead with Bo Qing without a care.

    In the end, she got a divorce agreement.

    After hearing the results from Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan finally said, ¡°He deserves it.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Tang Yin also sighed with emotion. ¡°Back then, this person destroyed someone¡¯s family and caused it to be like this now. She deserves it. Wanyuan, go ahead and busy yourself. I have a partner here to discuss something.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan got up to change.

    After filming a day of fighting scenes, Xia Wanyuan only wanted to go home and take a shower and rest.

    In ¡°Dark Night¡¯, there were fewer young actors, and most of them were veterans.

    At first, everyone had the thought of taking care of a junior like Xia Wanyuan. When acting, they needed to suppress their aura.

    However, after the past few days of filming, no one dared to be careless about Xia Wanyuan. This junior¡¯s aura was too strong. If they were not careful, they would bepletely suppressed by her.

    Director Wang Wei sighed every day about how wise it was to let Xia Wanyuan be the female lead of the movie.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I¡¯ll have a meal with a few friends in the industry tonight. Come with me to take a look. You¡¯re young, after all. Get to know a few more people and broaden your horizons.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who was about to leave, stopped.

    She did not do it for connections, but she could not reject Director Wang Wei¡¯s good intentions.

    Although Director Wang Wei had only casually said ¡°friends in the industry¡¯, with his status in the film industry, if they were just ordinary friends, he would not have asked Xia Wanyuan to go with him.

    Director Wang Wei treated her pretty well. Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and nodded at Director Wang Wei. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Senior Xia, I¡¯m so envious of you. You can eat with Director Wang Wei.¡± Chen Xiaoguo hade over at some point and looked at Xia Wanyuan enviously.

    Xia Wanyuan did not like to chat with strangers. She acknowledged and did not speak further.

    ¡°Senior, can I add you on WeChat? I want to ask you more questions. I¡¯m a newbie and don¡¯t know many things.¡± Chen Xiaoguo held her phone and looked at Xia Wanyuan expectantly.

    ¡°You¡¯re very noisy.¡¯ Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. After saying this, she walked away..

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Chen Xiaoguo was not discouraged. A look of disappointment shed across her face, but she quickly recovered her carefree look.

    ¡°Auntie, let me help you move the machine.¡± Chen Xiaoguo ran to the staff and rolled up her sleeves to help move the camera.

    ¡°Aiyo, look at your tender skin. Don¡¯t hurt yourself. Ill do it myself.¡± The staff hurriedly declined.

    ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s okay. I often help my parents at home. This is nothing. It¡¯s a hot day. If help you move earlier, you can go home early too.¡± Chen Xiaoguo wiped the sweat on her face. There was a cute smile on her round face.

    ¡°What a good child. Xiaoguo, you¡¯re the kindest youngdy I¡¯ve ever seen among all the actors.¡± The staff praised Chen Xiaoguo.

    Not far away, Xia Wanyuan was lying peacefully on a chair, eating the iced watermelon that Chen Yun had just brought over.

    Although the staff did not say anything, they could not help butpare in their hearts.

    The sunlight in the evening was very scorching. Chen Xiaoguo ran up and down to help. The clothes sent by the production team were covered in dust.

    ¡°aiya, Xiaoguo, it¡¯s been hard on you. Take this drink and drink it. It¡¯s iced.¡± Finally, after moving the equipment, the staff handed a bottle of iced beverage to Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Chen Xiaoguo smiled with her white teeth. She took the drink but did not drink it herself. Instead, she walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡®Sister Xia, I think you¡¯re quite afraid of heat. Here, drink this. It¡¯s iced.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who had her eyes closed as she thought about the sses tomorrow morning, opened her eyes when Chen Xiaoguo interrupted her.

    ¡°No need. Drink it yourself.¡±

    ¡®It¡¯s fine, Im not thirsty. Drink it.¡± Chen Xiaoguo was very persistent.

    ¡°No need.¡¯ Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. At that moment, Director Wang Wei sent her a message about a restaurant. Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Please make way.¡±

    Chen Xiaoguo moved aside and watched Xia Wanyuan leave.

    ¡°Xiaoguo, why must you stick to her? She¡¯s the daughter of a rich family. She¡¯s so arrogant.¡± The staff beside her came over andforted Chen Xiao Guo.

    ¡°Ljust want to learn more acting skills from the Senior.¡± Chen Xiaoguo looked a little sad.

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of having good acting skills? In my opinion, the kindest person is the most precious. Our Xiaoguo is a kind-hearted gooddy. In this day and age, youre the first actress who¡¯s willing to help us move things.¡±

    ¡°Everyone, you must be joking.¡± Chen Xiaoguo blushed in embarrassment, causing the production team to dote on her even more.

    After leaving the film studio, Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Before it rang three times, the call was picked up.

    ¡°Hubby.¡± The moment Xia Wanyuan called him that, Jun Shiling knew that there was a problem.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan continued, ¡°I¡¯m having dinner with Director Wang today. I¡¯l be backter tonight.¡±

    Oh.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯¡¯s tone was filled with displeasure. ¡°Where? I¡¯l pick you up after eating.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan then reported the address to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Dont drink. Eat less of the food outside if you don¡¯t like it. Ill get the kitchen to prepare supper for you,¡± Jun Shiling instructed.

    ¡°Okay, got it. You¡¯re the best.¡± There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone that infected Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling smiled too. ¡°Mm, good girl, hang up first.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, Jun Shiling looked at the camera again. ¡°Continue.¡±

    ¡°Excuse me, were you on the phone with your wife just now, CEO Jun?

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    Opposite him was a camera that was constantly shing with red light.

    ¡°It looks like you must like your wife a lot.¡¯ The host¡¯s eyes were still filled with surprise. After all, Jun Shiling was very serious and cold when he was interviewed. He did not expect his face to be so gentle after the call.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Jun Shiling admitted in a straightforward manner.

    ¡°Do we have to cancel this part when it is broadcasted?¡± Many interviewees did not want their private lives to be exposed too much.

    ¡°No need.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s answer was unexpected.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The host nodded and continued to interview Jun Shiling ording to the procedure.

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, any one of the friends in the industry that Director Wang Wei had mentioned was a big shot in the film industry.

    Everyone was originally a little confused by the young and beautiful actress Wang Wei had brought, but after a few conversations, their impression of Xia Wanyuan had improved greatly.

    Xia Wanyuan had a lot of experience and was able to pick up many topics that the directors discussed. She even had unique opinions.

    ¡°Old Wang, where did you dig up such a lively actor? When your movie is done, you have to lend her to me.¡± A middle-aged man in traditional Chinese clothes chatted with Xia Wanyuan for a while before turning to borrow her from Wang Wei.

    ¡°Brother Zhang, what are you saying? What do you mean by borrowing? If Xiao Xia can go to your ce to get a role, that would be her blessing.¡± Wang Weiughed heartily and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Xiao Xia, why aren¡¯t you thanking Director Zhang?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan used tea as wine, neither servile nor overbearing. ¡°Thank you, Director Zhang.¡±

    ¡®It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s difficult to find good actors nowadays. No matter how good a director or script is, there has to be a soul actor to support a ssic production.¡± Zhang Mou looked at Xia Wanyuan and nodded.

    In his view, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s future achievements would definitely be immeasurable.

    The mealsted for nearly two hours.

    Because there were women present, everyone chatted quietly and ate.

    ¡®It¡¯s gettingte. Wanyuan, you should go back first. Us old fellows have to drink another two sses.¡±

    Wang Wei had brought Xia Wanyuan over today to pave the way for her. Now that they had seen her, Wang Wei knew that Xia Wanyuan had a cold personality and did not like to socialize, so he considerately let her leave first.

    The others did not have any objections. After Xia Wanyuan bade farewell, she left first.

    Jun Shiling had agreed with Xia Wanyuan to pick her up at ten o¡¯clock in the evening.

    However, it was only half-past eight.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to call Jun Shiling and prepare to take the car back herself, telling him that there was no need for him to pick her up.

    In the end, the moment she stepped out, she saw the familiar Phantom parked by the roadside.

    ¡°Why are you here so early? Didn¡¯t you say ten o¡¯clock?¡±

    ¡°Tm worried, so I still wanted toe early.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan with one hand and kept typing on the keyboard with the other, giving instructions to his subordinates.

    ¡°Why are you out so early?¡±

    ¡°met a few directors. There was nothing else, so I left first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s go home. I¡¯ve left you supper in the manor.¡± Jun Shiling stared at the data on theputer and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little touched that Jun Shiling would still wait for her at the restaurant a few hours earlier even though he was so busy. She leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and took the initiative to hug his waist.

    Only then did Jun Shiling move his gaze away from theputer and look at Xia Wanyuan in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her, then looked at the data screen.

    Recently, An Rao¡¯s fans had been rushing up and down to rify the truth of the rtionship. Finally, after Bo Yi¡¯s personapletely copsed and the witnesses appeared to speak, they had a chance to catch their breath.

    Others might not know, but as fans, how could they not know? Their idol looked aloof, but in fact, she was just a stupid and cute little tsundere.

    The messy rumors about An Rao were all fabricated by marketing ounts. Although passers-by did not believe it, the fans knew it clearly.

    How could An Rao be ina rtionship? All she knew was to eat and be beautiful.

    However, just as they took a breath from Bo Yi¡¯s incident, the fans saw another nightmare.

    The most famous paparazzi ount posted a shocking piece of news.

    ¡°An Rao is cohabiting with her mysterious boyfriend.¡±

    As an ount in the entertainment industry that had always released especially urate news and would not make groundless reports,

    this time, it was the same as before. They took photos and videos and spoke with the facts.

    Although she was too far away and her face could not be seen clearly, from her clothes and makeup, she was An Rao, who had returned home from the production team that day.

    Fans: The protagonist of the previous video was a scumbag, and the next second, the protagonist of the video was my idol. Who can stand this contrast? It¡¯s too difficult.

    In the video, An Rao got out of the car and skipped around to pull the tall man¡¯s arm. Then, she leaned on him and left.

    The first thought that came to the fans¡¯ minds was that he seemed to be quite indulgent and cute. Then, they immediately realized that someone might have spread rumors again. Perhaps he was a rtive¡¯s brother or something.

    After all, it had only been a month since thest time they had written about An Rao¡¯s cousin as her lover who visited her in the middle of the night.

    The fans hurriedly denied the rumors seriously.

    However, half an hourter, the ount sent another video.

    In the video, one could see from the window that the tall man lowered his head and kissed An Rao¡¯s face.

    An Rao¡¯s fans: I dont dare to say that he¡¯s a rtive or brother anymore. Could it be that our cabbage has really been stolen?

    The marketing ounts heard the news and stripped the men beside An Rao one after another. In the end, they felt that the second male lead in An Rao¡¯s previous drama, Lin Mi, could fit the height requirement the best.

    Hence, very quickly, the topic ¡°Lin Mi An Rao¡± became trending.

    Lin Mi had alwayscked topic and poprity. Now, he sat at the top of the trending topic and thepany found An Rao.

    They asked if the two parties could cooperate to not deny nor admit to it. They allowed theizens to guess. This spection discussion was the poprity that celebrities needed the most.

    Thepany that An Rao was in wanted to agree immediately. After all, An Rao¡¯s reputation in the past was not good. This time, they might as well take advantage of the situation and hype it up again.

    ¡®The twopanies remained silent. The moreizens guessed, the more it seemed like it. There was even a staff member from the production team who appeared and said that Lin Mi had once expressed his good impression of An Rao when he was in the filming department.

    Just as Weibo was in chaos, a sharp-eyedizen suddenly realized that Bo Xiao, who had originally had zero attention, followed an additional person.

    Everyone was curious who was so lucky to be the first to be noticed by Bo Xiao.

    They clicked on it and took a look.

    An Rao.

    Theizens were stunned.

    [ Hubby, did your hand slip? ]

    [ Three minutes have passed and he still hasn¡¯t unfollowed. My heart is broken. Who can tell me that this isn¡¯t true? ]

    [ So the male lead in An Rao¡¯s video is Bo Xiao??? F*ck! What shocking news is this? I¡¯m stunned. ]

    Bo Xiao had upied the trending topic twice not long ago, and everyone admired him.

    Everyone enjoyed the drama between Bo Xiao and Bo Yi.

    However, theizens did not expect that the two of them could still be together.

    The fans panicked. They tried to rify that Bo Xiao¡¯s hand was slippery, or that the two of them were just friends. It was no big deal to follow each other.

    However, half an hourter, discussions about Bo Xiao and An Rao blew up.

    After all, it had been half an hour and Bo Xiao still had not unfollowed An Rao. This could not be exined by a slip of his hand.

    At that moment, Bo Xiao updated a Weibo post, causing the already boiling water to explode..

    Bo Xiao sent a settlement map of Mobile Legends.

    @ Bo Xiao: ¡°After so many hardships, I finally brought a certain little fool along with me to Glory.¡±

    In the picture, Li Bai¡¯s results killed 17 heads, died once, and 16 assists.

    [ 666666, there¡¯s nothing wrong with this Li Bai. ]

    [I¡¯m stunned. Could a certain little fool be referring to An Rao? F*ck??? Is this an official announcement??? But An Rao is pretty good at ying this Xiao Qiao. }

    ¡®The passers-by who did not know what was going on thought that An Rao was ying the cute Xiao Qiao.

    However, the fans who knew their idol¡¯s ount well were silent for a moment before exining.

    [ No¡­ The person who gave 16 heads is An Rao¡­ An Rao hates ying heroes like Xiao Qiao the most. ]

    [ An Rao¡¯s gaming standards can¡¯t be described with words anymore. Bo Xiao actually brought An Rao to Glory. As An Rao¡¯s fan¡­ I just want to exim that Bo Xiao is amazing. ]

    [ So is this an official announcement? An Rao and Bo Xiao are in a rtionship?? What kind of shocking news is this? ]

    Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo post was too obvious, so all the major news tforms exploded.

    Before anyone could continue to verify, An Rao¡¯s ount had already reposted this Weibo post.

    @ An Rao: ¡°You¡¯re the fool.¡±

    [ This sudden public disy of affection }

    { Baby, are you going to surrender to Young Master Bo like this? ]

    Their interaction confirmed everything.

    In an instant, the discussion about Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s rtionship became the hottest topic.

    In the apartment, An Rao was nestled on the sofa, reading the variousments from theizens.

    ¡®An hour ago.

    ¡®As she ate the food Bo Xiao had prepared, An Rao¡¯s eyes were shining. ¡°Bo Xiao, your skills are good.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Seeing that An Rao was eating happily, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°I saw the scandal between you and Bo Yi online.¡±

    ¡°That was blindly written by the media. How can you believe it?¡± An Rao picked up a piece of brisket with her chopsticks, and the gravy filled her mouth.

    ¡°But he can be on the news with you.¡± Bo Xiao threw down his chopsticks and looked like he had no appetite. ¡°I¡¯m not eating anymore. I¡¯m ufortable and can¡¯t eat.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you want?¡± An Rao chewed on her brisket and nced at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Lwant to be on the news with you too.¡±

    ¡°Sure, if you have the ability, go ahead.¡± An Rao did not care.

    ¡°Then you agreed to publicize it??¡± There was a smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes, but it was hidden very deeply, so An Rao could not tell.

    222??? When did I say that I agreed to publicize?¡± Before An Rao could finish speaking, she saw Bo Xiao looking very hurt, with obvious grievance on his face. ¡°Alright, if you want to publicize, then publicize.¡±

    Anyway, An Rao did not n to hide it. She knew that Bo Xiao was deliberately pretending to be pitiful, but since Bo Xiao wanted to publicize it, she followed him. Hence, there were the two Weibo posts that had exploded on the Inte.

    ¡°Come here.¡± Bo Xiao leaned on the sofa and reached out to An Rao.

    An Rao followed his strength and sat down.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Amidst their lips, An Rao finally heard Bo Xiao¡¯s words.

    In the production team, Xia Wanyuan listened to everyone¡¯s discussion and went online to look at the topic of Bo Xiao and An Rao.

    Due to Bo Xiao¡¯s special identity, no one had any bad words.

    ¡°Senior.¡± Chen Xiaoguo still greeted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan responded for once, Chen Xiaoguo became bolder. ¡°Senior, I don¡¯t understand the scene just now. Can you tell me about it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip of water from the side and nced at Chen Xiaoguo. Her eyes were filled with coldness, causing Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s heart to tremble and a chill to rise from the bottom of his heart.

    ¡°Why do you think I¡¯ll teach the script to someone who deliberately twisted the Weir screws?¡±

    Chen Xiaoguo was shocked and subconsciously looked around. There was no one around, so she looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Senior, what do you mean? I just wanted to ask you how to improve my acting skills. You don¡¯t have to nder me like this.¡±

    ¡°Move.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not have such good patience to act with her. She still had a pile of research projects in hand.

    Chen Xiaoguo remained rooted to the ground. Xia Wanyuan took a book from the side and read it, ignoring her.

    ¡®The staff returned to the production team after dinner one after another. Then, they saw Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s eyes filled with tears that were dripping down. Xia Wanyuan, who was reading in front of her, had a cold expression.

    ¡°Aiyo, Guo Guo, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Because Chen Xiaoguo had been working for everyone recently and she was young and cute, everyone treated her like a sister from the bottom of their hearts. Now that she was crying like this, they hurriedly surrounded her tofort her.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s¡­ myself. I¡¯m not good.¡± Chen Xiaoguo sobbed as if she had been wronged. She could not even breathe.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan could still read so coldly despite Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s crying, the staff criticized her in their hearts.

    The eldest daughter of a rich family was amazing. She could bully people as she pleased.

    ¡°Guo Guo,e with us.¡± The staff handed Chen Xiaoguo a tissue to wipe her face and pulled her to the side. ¡°We won¡¯t be bullied. Be good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rubbed her eyebrows. Although she was focused on reading, the noisy crowd beside her affected her mood greatly.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the book and stood up. She walked to arge tree in the distance and sat down, quietly reading¡­

    Staff: I¡¯ve seen people with bad tempers, but I¡¯ve never seen someone who goes so far. Only in front of Director Wang Wei will such actors restrain their tempers. They look down on ordinary people like us.

    Everyoneforted Chen Xiaoguo and mocked Xia Wanyuan for being a richdy and looking down on ordinary people.

    ¡°Thank you, everyone. I¡¯m really fine. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯ll ask other seniors how I should act.¡± Chen Xiaoguo wiped her tears. Her eyes were red.

    Surrounded by the staff, Chen Xiaoguo walked elsewhere. She looked at the figure under the tree in the distance and felt a little indignant.

    I clearly had the upper hand, but why was Xia Wanyuan not angry at all?

    She had beenpletely ignored, as if Xia Wanyuan had never taken her seriously.

    During the afternoon shoot, Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel that the staff¡¯s attitude towards her was very different. Their tone and eyes were filled with me.

    Xia Wanyuan only cared about filming her scenes and did not want to be entangled with these unrted people.

    After a day of filming, Xia Wanyuan changed and walked out.

    However, Chen Xiaoguo stopped her again.

    ¡°Senior, I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have made you angry this afternoon.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stopped by her. Her eyebrows twitched.

    In fact, Chen Xiaoguo was a smart person. She knew that she did not like to be disturbed, but she still leaned over eagerly.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Chen Xiaoguo had not done anything wrong. She was just a diligent actress who wanted to ask her senior about her acting skills.

    Hence, she would be the only one who felt aggrieved. If it was someone with a bad temper, they would have already shouted and scolded Chen Xiaoguo.

    In the eyes of others, they would be convicted of bullying neers.

    Xia Wanyuan found it funny. What a brilliant n.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was neither a pushover nor a hot-tempered person.

    ¡°Okay, I ept your apology. Then?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words stunned Chen Xiaoguo.

    Then? Shouldn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan lose her temper?

    Chen Xiaoguo did not know how to continue.

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her foot to leave.

    ¡°Senior, wait a moment. Thank you for forgiving me. I want to ask if you can teach me how to act well?¡±

    ¡°Your acting skills are already not bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s meaningful gazended on Chen Xiaoguo.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s tears were about to fall again. Xia Wanyuan nced at her coldly, then left with her bag.

    ¡°If you bother me again, bear the consequences,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she walked past Chen Xiaoguo.

    She got off work early that day. When she returned home, Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling were not back yet.

    The temperature in the sky was ridiculously high. Even though she had only stayed outside for a while, Xia Wanyuan was already sweating.

    ¡°Tm going to swim for a while.¡± Xia Wanyuan took her clothes and went to the swimming pool in the manor.

    All the male lifeguards and coaches were removed from the swimming pool. The entire venue was filled with women.

    Xia Wanyuan put on her goggles and plunged into the water. Like an agile fish, she swam through the waves.

    Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao returned to the manor at the same time.

    ¡®The father and son got out of the car.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Madam?¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Mommy?¡±

    Looking at the two simr faces asking the same question, a loving smile appeared on Uncle Wang¡¯s face. ¡°Madam is swimming in the swimming pool.¡±

    Before Xiao Bao could put down his school bag, he ran towards the swimming pool, but Jun Shiling picked him up.

    ¡°Go and do your homework. You¡¯re not allowed to eat until you finish it.¡±

    Xiao Bao struggled symbolically in the air. ¡°Bad Daddy!!!¡±

    In the end, Xiao Bao pouted and went into the house to do his homework.

    Jun Shiling went straight to the swimming pool.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan was resting in the water. She was slender and graceful. When she saw Jun Shiling enter, she waved and greeted him.

    ¡°Mm, why did you think of swimming today?¡± Jun Shiling loosened his tie, walked to the chair by the pool, and sat down.

    ¡°It¡¯s a little hot outside. I suddenly wanted to move around.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling ina suit, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I want to drink water.¡± Xia Wanyuan swam towards Jun Shiling.

    From the moment Jun Shiling entered, the others in the swimming pool had already retreated.

    Jun Shiling walked to the side and took a bottle of water, then squatted by the pool and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°My hand hurts from swimming and I can¡¯t hold the bottle. Feed me.¡± Xia Wanyuan lied through her teeth.

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and he said dotingly, ¡°Sure.¡±

    After unscrewing the cap, Jun Shiling handed the bottle forward.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    Plop!

    There was a ssh.

    Jun Shiling, who had just been dressed in a suit, was drenched..

    Seeing Jun Shiling covered in water, a victorious smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯ss eyes.

    ¡°CEO Jun, your physical strength isn¡¯t too good currently. I just pulled casually and you fell.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up from the water and wiped the water off his face.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was in front of him, had an innocent expression, but the craftiness in her eyes could not be hidden.

    Jun Shiling was originally wearing a full suit, but it was nowpletely soaked.

    Jun Shiling took off his coat and threw it by the pool.

    The white shirt was soaked in water and stuck tightly to his muscles, outlining his figure that made one¡¯s face heat up.

    Xia Wanyuan was only focused on teasing Jun Shiling. Later on, she finally realized that the situation was wrong.

    ¡°Xiao Bao is back, right? I¡¯ll go and tutor him.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to go ashore.

    However, Jun Shiling pulled her back and pressed her against the pool wall.

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t need you to tutor him. I need you more,¡± Jun Shiling said, leaning closer to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan instantly sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s agitation.

    ¡°This is the pool. What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan struggled, but Jun Shiling held her tightly.

    ¡°Coincidentally, we haven¡¯t never tried this ce, right?¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Besides, isn¡¯t that what you meant by pulling me down?¡±

    ¡°Tm not¡­¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, her words were drowned by the sound of water.

    From the corner of the pool, waves began to surge out of the blue water.

    Ina different environment, Jun Shiling appeared even more domineering. He refused to let Xia Wanyuan go for a long time.

    It was already time for dinner. Uncle Wang sent someone to invite Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to eat, but there was no response from the swimming pool for a long time.

    Uncle Wang heard the report and coughed to hide his blushing face. ¡°Then let Little Master eat first. I¡¯ll call himter.¡±

    Xiao Bao, who had finally finished his homework, bounced downstairs. He wanted to show Jun Shiling that he had finished all his homework.

    Unexpectedly, there was no one in the dining room downstairs.

    ¡°Grandpa Wang, why aren¡¯t Daddy and Mommy here for dinner?¡±

    ¡°Can I eat with Little Master? Your Daddy and Mommy have something on. They¡¯ll eatter.¡± Uncle Wang looked at Xiao Bao lovingly.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently. He supported his face with both hands and waited for Uncle Wang to scoop rice for him with his big eyes.

    As he ate the meat that melted in his mouth, Xiao Bao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction

    ¡°Grandpa Wang.¡±

    ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Uncle Wang thought that Xiao Bao wanted to add food, so he hurriedly walked over.

    ¡°Daddy and Mommy work so hard. They¡¯re so busy, but they can¡¯t even eat such delicious food.¡± Xiao Bao took a bite of the chicken wing pitifully. Boohoo, it was delicious. ¡°I want to be more sensible and not make Daddy angry anymore.¡±

    Uncle Wang looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent eyes and fell silent. The innocent little cutie had really melted his heart. He patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head quietly. ¡°Xiao Bao is so obedient. You¡¯re already very sensible.¡±

    ¡°No! I have to be more sensible!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s expression was serious. My parents worked so hard, I have to be less mischievous and not always make my father angry.

    At that moment.

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan ashore.

    ¡°Baby,¡± Jun Shiling called out to Xia Wanyuan as he wiped her hair.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    ¡®There was a smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s tone. ¡°Continue to be mischievous next time. Keep up the good work.¡±

    In response, Xia Wanyuan kicked him lightly without any strength.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and eat.¡± Jun Shiling dried Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, changed her clothes, and carried her to the main building.

    Xiao Bao had already finished eating and was holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone to video call An Rao.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, where¡¯s your Mommy?¡± An Rao had nothing to do and wanted to chat with Xia Wanyuan, but the call connected and the video showed a fair and tender cuddly ball.

    ¡°Mommy and Daddy are busy. Auntie An Rao, you¡¯re so beautiful.¡± Xiao Bao leaned on the sofa and said in a childish voice.

    ¡°Aiyo,e here and let me kiss you. You¡¯re too obedient. I¡¯ll bring you something delicious in a few days.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded. When he looked up and saw Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan over, he turned his phone to them. ¡°Auntie An Rao, my Daddy and Mommy are here.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tired expression and Jun Shiling¡¯s radiant expression, An Rao knew what had happened. If she went up to chat with Xia Wanyuan at this time, she would definitely be killed by Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, Xiao Bao, your Mommy must be tired. Auntie will hang up first. Auntie loves you,¡± An Rao decided that the best way was to slip away first.

    Xiao Bao leaned forward and wanted to y with Xia Wanyuan, but Jun Shiling pointed at the clock.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Xiao Bao nodded consciously. He had promised Jun Shiling that he would rest ording to the normal biological clock. Before he left, Xiao Bao tiptoed and leaned towards Xia Wanyuan, leaving a kiss with a milky fragrance.

    After eating in a daze, Xia Wanyuan was tired and sleepy. She quickly fell asleep.

    It waste at night.

    Jun Shiling sat by the bed, his right hand gently patting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. There was aputer on hisp.

    Jun Shiling entered a long string of words and a pile of encrypted documents appeared on the screen. Jun Shiling looked at them slowly, his eyes gradually darkening.

    In thergest underground market in Continent M, money was transferred from all over the world, and boxes of goods were transported from various channels to the world.

    Under the huge profits, countless blood and bones were hidden. However, to those who had gained the benefits, the world was just an ant.

    Even the wind would not care about the death of an ant.

    Jun Shiling quickly browsed through the information and sent a few short messages. Two hours passed like this, and it was already past midnight.

    Xia Wanyuan had already slept. She opened her eyes slightly and saw that the light was still switched on. Jun Shiling was gently typing on the keyboard.

    ¡°Are you still busy?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up with Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and nced at the green-ck Poison Scorpion logo on the screen.

    ¡°Tm done. Why are you awake?¡± Jun Shiling pressed the enter button and sent the message through a one-way channel. Only then did he turn off theputer and look at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Tslept for a while.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°I want to eat supper.¡±

    ¡°Til get it for you.¡± Jun Shiling put theputer aside and stood up to get out of bed, but Xia Wanyuan grabbed his arm.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling sat back down.

    ¡°Idon¡¯t want to stay alone. I¡¯m not eating. Apany me.¡± Xia Wanyuan was actually not especially hungry. It was just that sometimes, she always wanted to chew some snacks.

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°You can give up supper because you want me to apany you??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought seriously and nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    It made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ache and soften. ¡°Do you feel that you haven¡¯t had enough just now? You only know how to seduce me every day?¡±

    ?22:

    2?¡± Xia Wanyuan narrowed her beautiful eyes. Where did thise from??

    Covering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes with his hand, Jun Shilingy under the nket. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Sleep. Otherwise, you can forget about sleeping today.¡±

    Then, under the nket, Jun Shiling was kicked by Xia Wanyuan.

    As Xia Wanyuan had to teach sses other than filming, the production team specially opened a green channel for her, allowing her to teach sses before going to the production team to film.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was already a celebrity teacher in Qing University, her demonstration ss had far more views on the Inte than other teachers.

    It was not that the other teachers¡¯ teaching quality was not as good as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. It was just that when she lectured well, she was good-looking and loved to look beautiful. People treated beautiful teachers more kindly.

    There were many exchange activities between universities. Every year, the Qing University would send some teachers to other schools to exchange and learn.

    This time, China happened to be in the midst of an academic exchange with the top universities of Han Country. Considering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current influence, the Qing University wanted to add Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name to the list.

    Xia Wanyuan had never been to Han Country. Other than thest time she had an online conflict with the painter of Han Country, Cui Yongjun, because of the Light Error painting, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about other things in Han Country.

    Hence, when asked if she was willing to go on the exchange, Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    After sses at Qing University, Xia Wanyuan went to the production team. Most of the actors in the production team treated Xia Wanyuan very well, while most of the staff treated her more coldly.

    ¡°Good afternoon, everyone. I brought some food for everyone.¡± Chen Xiaoguo walked in with a smile, forming a sharp contrast with the indifferent Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Guo Guo, you¡¯re too extravagant.¡± Everyone praised her as they ate the snacks Chen Xiaoguo had bought.

    ¡°Senior, do you want to eat something?¡± Chen Xiaoguo walked innocently to Xia Wanyuan with a box of cut fruits in her hand.

    ¡°No need, I don¡¯t eat snacks,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied without looking up.

    This Chen Xiaoguo had many little tricks in private. On the surface, she was very respectful to her and was naive and cute. Xia Wanyuan had been very busy these few days and was toozy to take time to pay attention to her.

    In the end, this person thought that she was easy to bully and kept pestering her to test her bottom line.

    ¡°Alright.¡± The smile on Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s face paused, hiding the look of ¡®as expected¡¯ in her eyes.

    She knew that Xia Wanyuan would definitely not ept what she had given her.

    The surrounding people could not stand seeing Xia Wanyuan reject Chen Xiaoguo again.

    Chen Xiaoguo was a smart girl who knew how to please people. No one knew why Xia Wanyuan was so cold to her.

    ¡°Xiao Xia, this fruit is really delicious. Chen Xiaoguo gave it to you out of kindness. Eat some.¡± Sister Wang bit into the food Chen Xiaoguo had bought as she persuaded Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Young people like you should get along better. After all, we see each other every day. Guo Guo is a good girl,¡± the person beside her echoed.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and looked at everyone¡¯s sincere and earnest expressions. She found it funny.

    She recalled that in her previous life, she had lived on West Street with her younger siblings alone.

    There were always some ¡°experienced people¡± who came over every few days to persuade her to marry someone early. They were like these people, trying to kidnap her with the identity of ¡°experienced people¡¯.

    Xia Wanyuan did not reach out to take the things. Instead, she nced at the staff around her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need anyone to teach me what friends I make.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re exaggerating. How are we qualified to care about you? You must be joking.¡± The coldness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was obvious to even a fool. The middle-aged woman who spoke first was a little embarrassed.

    ¡°How would we dare to teach you?¡± The staff, who had assumed the identity of someone who had experienced it before, sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s disgust and felt a little embarrassed. ¡°Miss Xia is the eldest daughter of a rich family and the main lead. How can you listen to us?¡±

    ¡°Senior, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all my fault. Don¡¯t be angry. I just saw that you were fine sitting here and wanted to send you something to eat.¡± Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s face was filled with guilt. The way she looked at Xia Wanyuan was also timid.

    ¡°T¡¯ve epted your apology. Can you disappear from my sight now?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s patience had always been limited for these unimportant people.

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Chen Xiaoguo hurriedly put away her things, and her eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, everyone. It¡¯s all my fault. If you want to me someone, me me. I didn¡¯t think through it.¡±

    Seeing Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s tears, everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan reproachfully. However, Xia Wanyuan had a cold aura around her. Everyone felt a little guilty and did not dare to say anything else.

    Chen Xiaoguo took the things and prepared to leave.

    ¡°This is thest time,¡± Xia Wanyuan said before burying her head in the book in front of her. Her mind raced as she considered the problem.

    What??

    Chen Xiaoguo looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion, but she did not speak further, as if what she had just said was an illusion.

    Under everyone¡¯sfort, Chen Xiaoguo returned to her lounge.

    After the staff left, Chen Xiaoguo called.

    ¡°Hey, Aunt, that Xia Wanyuan is simply impervious to everything, She doesn¡¯t eat anything I give her and doesn¡¯t even bother to talk to me..¡±

    It was unknown what the other party said on the other end of the line, but Chen Xiaoguo frowned. ¡°Aunt, the director quite likes her. I think she knows about what happenedst time. She¡¯s very guarded against me now.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I understand. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely help you.¡± After listening to the person on the phone for a long time, Chen Xiaoguo finally agreed.

    Although the staff in the production team secretly pointed at Xia Wanyuan, when she sat there, she had an aura of her own, and no one dared to disturb her.

    The afternoon filming began.

    Snow Fox, who had fallen into a small vige at the foot of the mountain during a mission, had temporarily lost her memory. As the leader of the killer world, she was now ignorant and as pure as a piece of paper.

    Uncle Wang¡¯s younger daughter, Ah Duo, was yful and identally lost her way in the mountains. She did not go home until night fell.

    ¡®There were always wild beasts in the mountains. Everyone in the vige was mobilized to look for Ah Duo. Snow Fox, who was saved by the olddy, was also mixed in the team to help look for people.

    Although Snow Fox had lost her memory, her sensitivity to investigation was still there. Following the footsteps in the forest, she gradually walked towards the peak of the mountain. Unknowingly, she separated from the main group.

    As she followed the traces of footprints, the snow fox gradually heard whimpering sounds not far away. Turning around a corner, it saw the shivering Ah Duo squatting on the ground. Not far away, a ck bear was ring at them.

    Seeing that someone wasing, the ck bear¡¯s gaze changed direction.

    ¡°Sister, save me.¡± The Ah Duo yed by Chen Xiaoguo was wearing a cloth shirt printed with flowers. Her face was covered in tears.

    Snow Fox, who had lost her memory, had the same temperament as when she was young.

    In the past, she was a kind girl who would umbre the old people on the streets when it rained.

    However, the violence of her family and the bullying on campus made her be a snow fox that everyone feared step by step.

    ¡°Tl distract it. You go first.¡± As Snow Fox spoke, she picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the bear.

    ¡®Then, Snow Fox ran in the opposite direction.

    When Ah Duo finally brought the vigers to save Snow Fox, her clothes were soaked in red and her face was filled with blood.

    Her entire body was dirty, and only her eyes were shockingly bright in the night.

    ¡°Okay, everyone, take a rest.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s close-up, Director Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan withdraw her aura. She wiped the tomato juice on her face. It was sticky and blurry, making her frown slightly.

    ¡°Senior, wipe it.¡± Chen Xiaoguo handed her a handkerchief.

    ¡°No need, haha. Thank you.¡± Tang Yin reached out to stop Chen Xiaoguo. She had been busy with other things recently. She had just arrived at the production team to film with Xia Wanyuan today when she saw that this Chen Xiaoguo had ill intentions.

    ¡°Tjust saw-¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Before Chen Xiaoguo could finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted her. ¡°Our Yuan Yuan is a clean freak. Thank you for your handkerchief, but there¡¯s no need.¡±

    After Tang Yin finished speaking, she protected Xia Wanyuan and went to the back to wash.

    Chen Xiaoguo stood rooted to the ground. The silk handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled from her grip.

    Not only was Xia Wanyuan vignt, but even the people around her were so cautious.

    ¡°Wanyuan, who is this Chen Xiaoguo? Logically speaking, she¡¯s just a new actress. How could she get the second female role of Director Wang Wei?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been pestered by Chen Xiaoguo for the past two days, and she subconsciously did not want to talk about this person anymore. ¡°Help me coordinate my schedule. I¡¯m going to Han Country next week.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you? I¡¯m done with work anyway.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. Her peers were all teachers from Qing University, so it was not appropriate for her to bring another person over. ¡°No need. Stay in the production team and help me see what Director Wang Wei thinks and requests.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Although she had cleaned the tomato juice on her face, Xia Wanyuan still felt ufortable after changing her clothes as she was crawling on the ground during filming in the afternoon.

    ¡®The apartment was closer to the production team, so Xia Wanyuan decided to take a shower in the apartment.

    In less than ten minutes, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the apartment. However, just as she opened the password lock, she heard the door open behind her. Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    Then, she met a pair of smiling fox eyes.

    Bo Xiao was wearing slippers and holding a bag of trash. He was humming a song as he walked out the door. He did not expect to see Xia Wanyuan. He subconsciously paused for a moment, then waved his right hand.

    ¡°Sister-inw.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied and nced behind Bo Xiao. ¡°Where¡¯s An Rao?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s sleeping.¡±

    ?

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the darkening sky outside. Even though she didn¡¯t think in a particr direction, she couldn¡¯t help but show a hint of surprise.

    ¡°No, Sister-inw, you¡¯re mistaken. An Rao yed games all night. It¡¯s not what you think.¡± Bo Xiao saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and hurriedly exined to her with a bitter smile.

    ¡°Mm, I understand.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door and entered the house.

    Bo Xiao, who was facing the door, looked at the closed door in confusion.

    What did Sister-inw understand???

    Xia Wanyuan entered the house and had just put down her bag when Jun Shiling called.

    ¡°The production team? I¡¯m not on set. I went back to the apartment to take a shower.¡± Xia Wanyuan had thought that Jun Shiling would not pick her up because he was busy today. She did not expect Jun Shiling to go to the production team.

    ¡°Then I¡¯lle and find you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a long time to shower. By the time she came out of the shower, Jun Shiling had been here for a long time and was sitting on the sofa watching television.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    ¡°Looking at you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and looked. It was true.

    She had forgotten about this..

    At that time, other than filming in the country, the production team of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± even brought the guests to a small country in Continent 0 to film for two days.

    Xia Wanyuan had learned how to ski there and had watched the snow mountain with Jun Shiling.

    As she had been too busy recently, Xia Wanyuan had forgotten that there was still an episode of the variety program that had not been broadcasted.

    Xia Wanyuan came out just in time. The program had just revealed its opening, and the production team of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was still reporting the names of the string of sponsors.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan onto hisp, took the hairdryer, and slowly blew her hair.

    ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Jun Shiling asked as he blew her hair dry.

    ¡°A little.¡± Xia Wanyuan had used up a lot of energy from filming in the afternoon. She was indeed hungry.

    ¡°TIl get someone to send food over. Go home after dinner. Jun Yin was picked up by Grandpa today. There¡¯s no need to rush back.¡±

    As soon as he left kindergarten, Xiao Bao, who had been sent to Old Master Jun¡¯s house by Jun Shiling¡¯s chauffeur, said, ¡®Haha, can I apply to change a father?

    On the television, the guests began to appear one after another.

    After the recording of the first episode, everyone was already more familiar with each other. Qin Cang was talking to Zhang Xingling. Xuan Sheng rubbed the prayer beads in his hand as he sat by the side. He could not hide his romantic aura. He lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao appeared on camera.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing long sleeves and pants, and An Rao, who was wearing suspenders beside her, attracted the gazes of everyone in the airport.

    The editor in variety shows was always good at finding all sorts of points that could explode the viewership ratings.

    Like now.

    ¡®The moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, the camera focused on Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng, who was lying on the chair impatiently, had his eyes lit up. ¡°Miss Xi:

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and sat in the waiting room with An Rao.

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze had not moved away.

    [ Sisters, it¡¯s serious! ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is actually so cold¡­ This is Xuan Sheng!! The crown prince of Glory World! This face makes me feel that Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for her. ]

    [ Perhaps Xia Wanyuan is ying hard to get? Don¡¯t men like this? }

    Thements were lively. Under the blue sky and white clouds, a ne set off from the Beijing airport and flew towards the west.

    ¡®The sound of the hairdryer gradually softened. Jun Shiling touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. It was almost dry.

    Xia Wanyuan leanedzily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you jealous today?¡±

    Jun Shiling put the hairdryer aside. ¡°I¡¯m magnanimous.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan chuckled. ¡°Oh.¡±

    On the television, the guests left the airport and sat in the car that came to pick them up.

    Continent 0 had always had more rainy weather, but the weather that day was so good that there was no need for a filter. A casual photo of it was an absolutely beautiful scenery.

    In the blue sky, there wererge white clouds. The streets and alleys were filled with murals painted by artists, painting the city withrge amounts of bright colors.

    ¡®The camera focused on Xia Wanyuan. It could be seen that she was in an excellent mood. Leaning against the car window, the sea breeze blew her long hair. Her eyes reflected the sky and sea, shining brightly.

    [ Mommy, I really don¡¯t me Xuan Sheng for chasing Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m a woman and I¡¯m about to fall in love with Xia Wanyuan. }

    [ She¡¯s so beautiful¡­ Seeing her smile, the corners of my lips can¡¯t help but curve up. ]

    Jun Shiling looked at thements on the video and clenched his fists slightly.

    She¡¯s mine.

    A little finger suddenly slipped into his palm and gently hooked it. Jun Shiling lowered his head and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with a smile.

    ¡°CEO Jun, don¡¯t be jealous. I¡¯m yours.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s emotions were suppressed so easily.

    The guests finally arrived at the designated location. After cing the things in the hotel, they rested for a while.

    The production team finally revealed their devilish mission.

    ¡°Every team has 50 RMB. After you exchange it, it will be 5 Euro dors, and it¡¯s your starting capital. From now on, the production team will not bear everyone¡¯s food, drinks, hotels, and travel expenses. Everyone needs to start from 5 dors and earn your own living expenses.¡±

    ¡®When this mission was out, not only were the guests stunned, but

    The audience was shocked.. 5 dors??

    The prices in Continent O were already very high, and in addition, this was a famous tourist city. It was difficult to even buy a bag of bread in this ce.

    ¡®What was even more devilish was that after the production team finished announcing the mission rules, they directly announced, ¡°The mission begins now.¡±

    It was noon at the local time. Five hours had passed since the guests¡¯st meal.

    Everyone had thought that they could have a feast and a good sleep after arriving at the hotel. Now that they heard about this devil mission, their expressions changed.

    ¡°We haven¡¯t eaten yet. You have to let us eat first.¡± Lin Xuan was very dissatisfied with the production team.

    ¡°Tm sorry, but you have to settle this meal yourselves.¡±

    The staff distributed the funds for the five Euro dors to each group, and the program officially began recording.

    [ Hahahahahaha, Lin Xuan¡¯s face is green. I¡¯m dying ofughter. }

    [ This is a devilish program, right? Five euros. It¡¯s gone after buying bread. They actually have to earn money to eat, drink, and stay. The hotel they¡¯re staying at costs 500 euros a night. ]

    [ From the looks of it now, Xia Wanyuan is the calmest one. I¡¯m very looking forward to what kind of surprise this magical woman can bring me. That scene on the previous episode was simply stunning, ]

    An Rao held the five euros in disdain and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a frown. ¡°Let¡¯s not worry about earning money first. Sister, I¡¯m so hungry. Let¡¯s find something to eat first.¡±

    On the ne just now, An Rao felt that the food on the ne was disgusting, so she did not eat much. Now, she was extremely hungry.

    Although they only had five euros in their hands now, An Rao believed that as long as Xia Wanyuan, this Doraemon, was around, she would be able to eat a feast very quickly.

    The three groups separated.

    Ever since Zhang Xuan had been scammed to death by Lin Xuan the previous episode, the atmosphere in this episode was a little strange when he spoke to her. Lin Xuan was tired and hungry. She did notin much because of the camera, but the impatience in her eyes could not be hidden.

    Xia Wanyuan dragged her little tail, An Rao, in a very leisurely manner. This was a tourist city that was very famous in the world. The natural scenery and human culture were extremely beautiful. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao slowly walked along the streets.

    Even though there was a difference in the aesthetic standards of the Central and Western countries, their exquisite facial features and unique temperament and beauty surpassed the boundaries of race. As the two of them walked, there were constantly people hitting on them, but in the end, they were all

    rejected by An Rao.

    [ Emmmm, I always thought that An Rao was just a pretty face. Only today did I realize that not only does she know how to speak Y, but she also knows Fnguage. Furthermore, her foreignnguage standard is much better than mine, a person from the foreignnguage school. }

    [ Boohoo, boohoo, I used to wonder why a big professor like Xia Wanyuan would y with An Rao. Now I understand. Cultured people will y together. Even good-looking people can y together. I want to talk about life with Nuwa. ]

    The two of them walked along the street and arrived at a church. There were many tourists here.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan stand rooted to the ground, An Rao looked at her. ¡°Sister, we need tickets to go in. We only have five euros. We can¡¯t do it. If you want to go in and y, I¡¯ll treat you to a game when we¡¯re done recording.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°You know Fnguage. Go over and buy a brush with five euros and a bottle of water.¡±

    Although An Rao didn¡¯t know why Xia Wanyuan wanted to buy a brush, she trusted Xia Wanyuan fully and took the money to the small shop beside her without a word..

    One brush for 4 euros, one bottle for 1 euros.

    The event funds given by the production team were used up just like that.

    Everyone was confused. They didn¡¯t know what Xia Wanyuan was going to do, but because of her amazing actions in the previous episode, everyone was inexplicably looking forward to it. They felt that Xia Wanyuan was going to cause trouble.

    Thements discussed and spected. In the apartment, Xia Wanyuany in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and looked at thements. None of them seemed to be correct.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had worked hard all year round and had developed a bad habit of lying down.

    After arriving in the modern world, Xia Wanyuan liked to lean on the sofa and watch television or read books. Later on, Jun Shiling appeared.

    Every time they watched television, Jun Shiling would hug her and let Xia Wanyuan rest her head on his shoulder.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan was nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Seeing that no one had guessed correctly, Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s waist.

    ¡°CEO Jun, guess what I¡¯m nning to do?¡±

    Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and leaned over to say a few words in her ear, causing Xia Wanyuan to look at him in admiration.

    ¡°How do you know?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and did not speak further. He was in no hurry to leave Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had gone to watch television again, Jun Shiling approached her.

    Then, he gently bit Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Tsk, what are you doing?!¡± Xia Wanyuan was shocked.

    ¡°Tl let you know how it feels to be suddenly aroused.¡± Jun Shiling stepped back a little to prevent Xia Wanyuan from breaking free.

    ¡°When did I??¡± Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly recalled poking Jun Shiling.

    ¡°.. That¡¯s called flirting?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless.

    ¡°Then you can try poking me again.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with deep eyes.

    ¡°You¡¯re so annoying. I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore. Don¡¯t disturb me from watching television.¡± Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling, then found afortable position in his arms and watched the television seriously.

    An Rao had already bought the things. Xia Wanyuan looked at the brush. It was a little too big. Xia Wanyuan directly twisted open the steel wire wrapped in the brush and removed half of it before putting it back on. It looked a little like a crude brush.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the mineral water bottle, dipped the brush in water, and looked around.

    Not far away, an exquisite girl dressed in an artistic style was leaning on the railing and asking someone to take a photo for her.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and squatted on the ground, using the brush to draw on the cement ground.

    ¡®The water trail was very easy to dry, so Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brush speed was extremely fast. Sometimes, one could only see an afterimage sh past.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance was already extremely outstanding. Now, seeing her draw on the ground with a brush and a bottle of water, everyone was very curious.

    Gradually, arge circle of people surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    In the beginning, no one understood what this beautiful Orientaldy was doing. They only knew that she was constantly using a brush to draw on the ground.

    Not long after, there were cries of surprise in the crowd.

    ¡®The water had gradually begun to evaporate. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan had finished painting.

    On the ground, there was a lifelike painting of a person about a meter long. When the water met the cement ground, the color of the ground would be deep.

    The most miraculous thing was that the water stains being dried easily was a very big w when using water to paint.

    However, Xia Wanyuan used this point. Through the amount of water, she created colors of varying depths.

    Asa result, the portrait had a voluptuous three-dimensional feel, as if it was a 3D painting.

    The onlookers picked up their cameras and took photos. The exquisite woman beside them was also attracted by themotion.

    ¡®When she walked over to take a look, she realized that it was actually her portrait on the ground.

    ¡°Wow ~ ? 0 ?, amazing!¡± The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°You drew me too beautifully!!¡±

    At that moment, An Rao¡¯s mind moved quickly.

    ¡°Our painter is especially good at painting. Look at the paintings on the ground that are fleeting. Do you want her to use paper to draw a portrait for you? The condition is that you have to prepare paper and brush yourself.¡±

    ¡®The woman did notck money at all. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan drew so well, she readily took out money for her to draw.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly finished painting.

    ¡®The woman was very satisfied and even gave her an additional 50 Euros.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really amazing! We¡¯re ten times richer than before.¡±

    ¡°Draw a few more paintings and we¡¯ll go for lunch.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao stuffed the money into her pocket and tried her best to promote it.

    However, everyone had already seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills just now. There was no need for any publicity. People who wanted to buy paintings had already queued up.

    One of them, a handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes, after receiving his portrait, suggested that if they could take a photo together, he was willing to pay an extra 100 Euros.

    An Rao felt that Xia Wanyuan would definitely not agree. ¡°No¡­¡±

    Before An Rao could finish, Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Of course.¡±

    On the television screen, An Rao was filled with question marks. Outside the television, Jun Shiling had used this as an excuse to throw a tantrum with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hiss, Jun Shiling? I can¡¯t coax you, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up and nced at Jun Shiling helplessly.

    ¡°Mm, you can¡¯t coax me anymore.¡± Jun Shiling looked unhappy, but he actually enjoyed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coaxing method very much.

    Xia Wanyuan was silent fora moment, then stood up and walked out the door.

    Jun Shiling immediately panicked and chased after her. When he reached the door, Xia Wanyuan opened it and took a step.

    ¡°Baby, I was wrong.¡± Jun Shiling wanted to close the door, but Xia Wanyuan dodged and pushed him out before closing the door.

    ¡°Baby,¡± Jun Shiling looked at the closed door and did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°I was wrong, I won¡¯t disturb you from watching television anymore. Open the door.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan, who was being used by Jun Shiling to make a fuss, deliberately wanted Jun Shiling to stay outside for a while.

    Jun Shiling was about to press the doorbell.

    The door closed behind him.

    Jun Shiling turned around and saw Bo Xiao, who was wearing slippers, being pushed out of the door.

    Bo Xiao turned around and the two of them looked at each other..

    Bo Xiao sized up Jun Shiling and his gazended on his slippers, a mischievous smile shing across his eyes.

    ¡°Why? Were you chased out by your wife too?¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s expression did not change. He nced at Bo Xiao. ¡°I came out to take a breather.¡±

    Bo Xiao: Haha, I believe you.

    As there were only two residents on the first floor, a space was opened at the edge of the corridor and made a balcony.

    Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao sat opposite each other.

    ¡°Hey, tell me. If I said that you would be chased out of the house by a woman three months ago and you wouldn¡¯t dare to say anything, would you think that I was lying?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and looked at the thousands of lights outside the window.

    Thinking back to what had happened three months ago, it was as distant as a lifetime ago.

    Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°Brother, I think we¡¯re going to sit here for the entire night.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was very certain.

    ¡°Sister-inw definitely won¡¯t let you in¡­¡± Bo Xiao guessed that Jun Shiling must have angered Xia Wanyuan.

    However, just as he finished speaking, the door on the right opened.

    Jun Shiling stood up, tidied the corners of his clothes, and looked at Bo Xiao with obvious smugness in his eyes.

    ¡°Family status is different.¡±

    22?

    Bo Xiao was speechless. ¡®How high is your family status? Aren¡¯t you still chased out?

    Jun Shiling entered the house and Xia Wanyuan looked at him with a smile. ¡°Stop fooling around. Let me watch television properly.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The man who had just thought that his family status was very high agreed to whatever she asked.

    On the television, the handsome foreign man took a photo with the two beauties as he had wished and gave them an extra 100 Euros.

    Reality proved that the entire world judged based on one¡¯s appearance. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and the rest were willing to take a photo together, other people who had bought portraits, be it beautiful women or older people, all wanted to take a photo with them.

    In an hour, Xia Wanyuan drew ten paintings. Including the money for the photos,

    Now, they already had 1,500 Euros.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really amazing!¡± An Rao counted the money in her pocket. When she saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with stars, she hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm happily.

    Xia Wanyuan was very calm and allowed An Rao to shake her arm. ¡°Pack your things. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±

    { Um, ahem, I have a cult. }

    [ The cult in front brought me along. Elegant, quiet, and cute and coquettish. They¡¯re a little good. They¡¯re really funny together. ]

    Xia Wanyuan earned money quickly. Although the other teams did not make it that easy, they still earned money for food.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s group was more strange.

    ¡®When Qin Cang and Xuan Sheng discussed how to earn money, Xuan Sheng waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have money.¡±

    Hence, their event fund was used to buy a pen and a piece of paper.

    Xuan Sheng wrote two words, ¡°Donate.¡±

    Qin Cang looked at his doing and was a little curious. ¡°Why did you write Chinese? Everyone here is a foreigner. They won¡¯t understand.¡±

    However, very quickly, things developed beyond Qin Cang¡¯s imagination.

    Glory World Corporation had a branchpany in Continent 0, and the news that the crown prince of Glory World Corporation hade to Continent 0 to film had long been spread here.

    Apile of foreigners queued up to send money to them.

    ¡®The production team did not dare to say anything. After all, Xuan Sheng did not vite the rules. Those who came to send money said that they were just passers-by and wanted to donate money to Xuan Sheng when they saw his face.

    Production Team: Alright, the sugar daddy is powerful and can¡¯t be provoked.

    In Lin Xuan¡¯s group, the two of them worked together to sing on the streets and attracted many people. However, everyone did not pay much. After singing for an hour, they barely received 100 Euros.

    Thanks to Xuan Sheng, Qin Cang went to a five-star restaurant for a big meal. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao found a restaurant with a good environment and ate happily.

    Inparison, Lin Xuan and Zhang Xing, who were eating burgers and fast food, were a little miserable.

    [ Hahahaha, this is probably life. ]

    [ Zhang Xing is a little pitiful. Xuan Sheng is a sugar daddy while Xia Wanyuan is a god. He can¡¯t have any of them and can only bring Lin Xuan to struggle for survival. Hahahaha, forgive me forughing. ]

    They had to pay for the hotel and dinner expenses themselves.

    Hence, after lunch, other than Xuan Sheng calmly lying down,

    The other two teams were preparing to go out and earn money in the afternoon.

    The meal cost 300 euros, and Xia Wanyuan and An Rao still had 1200 euros left.

    ¡°Go and buy some paint and drawing board.¡± After apanying An Rao to buy the small cake, Xia Wanyuan proposed her idea.

    ¡°Okay, sister. Are we still paintingter?¡±

    ¡°Mm, go and ask which scenic area has more people?¡±

    ¡®An Rao went to collect information, while Xia Wanyuan went to the shop to buy paint and painting tools.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan had bought her things, and An Rao had returned.

    Just now, Xia Wanyuan had chosen to draw in portraits because she did not have enough money to buy a brush and paint. Now that she had money, naturally, colorful paintings were closer to the aesthetic standards of Westerners.

    There was a famous ancient bridge in this city, a world-famous tourist attraction.

    ¡®The weather in Europe was suitable. Although it was summer afternoon, it was very cool.

    The golden willow by the river swayed in the wind, and the green mud by the bridge floated in the air. From time to time, a small boat would pass by, and there was a singing voice.

    The tourists sat on thewn in groups of two or three.

    Xia Wanyuan spread the silk scarf she had brought with her on the grass, then set down the drawing board, faced the ancient bridge, and began to draw.

    Their appearances were too eye-catching.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. Her long hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and she did not put on any makeup. As the wind blew, it lifted a few strands of hair, causing the surrounding gazes to involuntarily nce over.

    Seeing that she was painting, some students who had finished writing surrounded her and watched her draw.

    Originally, when they saw that Xia Wanyuan did not even need to use a script to draw, everyone felt that she should be a newbie.

    Xia Wanyuan drew very quickly. Not long after, half of the ancient bridge painting appeared on the paper.

    Painting not only emphasized the shape but also the spirit.

    ¡®The ancient bridge that Xia Wanyuan had drawn, under her extreme use of light, had the warm yellow setting sun shone on the bridge with a historical feeling.

    ¡®That solemn and thick ancient aura seemed to have leaped out of the paper and talked to modern people across a thousand years.

    The students behind her were extremely excited. Afraid of disturbing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, they could only clench their fists and express their excitement with their eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan asionally looked up at the bridge in front of her, then buried her head and changed it.

    Not long after, aplete painting was born in her hand.

    ¡°Oh my god!!! You drew too well!!¡± The students who could finally speak could not suppress the excitement in their hearts and praised Xia Wanyuan crazily.

    ¡°Do you like it?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled, and the male students in front of her blushed instantly.

    ¡°Lespecially like it!!¡±

    ¡°T¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the paper and handed it to the students.

    ¡°Really?! Oh my god!¡±

    At the side, An Rao gently pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Sister, didn¡¯t you draw this to sell for money? Why did you give it to them?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    The group of young people surrounded a painting and screamed. Soon, it attracted the attention of the others.

    Since they did not pay for it themselves, they could not hide it and let the people around look at it.

    Although the tourists did not know much about paintings, the beauty of the painting still shocked them.

    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t you think that this ancient bridge is especially beautiful? The tourists from outside won¡¯t be able to stay here for long. Do you want to bring the beautiful scenery here with you forever?¡± An Rao began her marketing again.

    ¡°How do we take them away forever?¡±

    ¡°Everyone, you saw this painter¡¯s painting just now. You can let her draw you in. Isn¡¯t this very memorable?¡±

    An Rao¡¯s words tempted everyone. Just as everyone was hesitating, a tall blonde woman walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    ¡°Are you Yuan Wanxia??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised that someone in this foreign country actually knew her, so she nodded.

    ¡°Oh my god! I really like you so much! I¡¯ll pay for it. Can you draw one for me? Can ten thousand euros do? I know this price is very low, but I¡¯m from abroad. I don¡¯t have so many euros for the time being. If not, I¡¯ll send it to you when I get home.¡± The woman was extremely eager, afraid that Xia Wanyuan

    would not agree.

    The crowd heard the woman¡¯s words and looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.

    Ten thousand euros was a high price. With this, the person who bid actually felt that Xia Wanyuan was suffering a loss? This beautiful Oriental woman looked young. How could she be worth such a high price?

    Is this a support??

    ¡°Help me draw one. My best friend and I especially like your style. It¡¯s really too beautiful!!¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not speak, the tall woman was afraid that she would not agree.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Do you have any requests? For the style and content.¡±

    ¡°Just draw the style you posted on the Fins. The clothes I¡¯m wearing today are a little too casual. Can you help me change it?¡±

    ¡°No problem,¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed readily. ¡°Just sit in front for a while.¡±

    Although the tall woman was curious that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even need her to be a model to start painting, out of trust for Xia Wanyuan, the woman still sat quietly at the side.

    This time, it took a longer time than the previous one.

    This time, someone had paid for Xia Wanyuan to draw. Everyone was too embarrassed to surround her and disturb her, so they looked from afar.

    After some time, the sun slowly slid to the horizon.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan finally stopped writing.

    ¡°Oh my god!¡± The moment the tall woman received the painting, her eyes lit up. ¡°It¡¯s too worth it. I¡¯ll give you a check immediately!¡±

    The person beside her leaned over and took a look.

    ¡°L want one too.. Can you draw one for me?¡±

    In the restaurant where Xia Wanyuan had lunch at noon, there was a history booklet of this country with the traditional clothes of this country.

    Just now, the tall woman had said that she wanted Xia Wanyuan to help her change her clothes. Xia Wanyuan naturally thought of the clothes in the introduction book.

    While painting, Xia Wanyuan had drawn her a western noble dress. Wearing a gemstone hat, she looked around the bridge, looking very moving.

    Not only did the tall woman like it, but the surrounding tourists also scrambled to get Xia Wanyuan to draw it for them after reading it.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost dark now, so we can only draw thest painting. Everyone, draw lots. I¡¯ll draw for whoever I pick, how about that?¡± At that moment, An Rao stood up.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Everyone agreed.

    ¡®An Rao cut some paper for everyone to draw lots. In the end, the person whose name was drawn was a young and thin youth.

    At that moment, the sun was gradually setting. After drawing the person, Xia Wanyuan quickly smeared it with a pen.

    The golden willow swayed. Xia Wanyuan sat on thewn and focused on the painting in front of her. The setting sun cast a warm yellow light on her.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan in the video, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes glistened.

    Jun Shiling suddenly pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder closer.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could ask, Jun Shiling had already leaned down.

    ¡°Why are you so beautiful?¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face almost piously.

    ¡°_.Can you stop disturbing me from watching television?¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s head away and wanted to watch television, but Jun Shiling grabbed her hands.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°Jun Shiling, you promised me just now.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Let¡¯s watch.¡± Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s using gaze, Jun Shiling temporarily suppressed his thoughts and let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands, interlocking his fingers.

    ¡®While the two of them were fooling around, Xia Wanyuan had already drawn the painting for the youth on the program.

    ¡°Wow, she¡¯s really amazing!¡±

    ¡°Can you really not draw another painting? I can pay a high price! Can 20,000 Euros do it? 30,000? 50,000 is fine too.¡±

    ¡®After the camera captured the expressions of the surrounding people, it then focused on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting.

    It was a picture of the rising sun.

    The young man walked across the bridge with his school bag.

    Behind him, the morning sun peeked out from the edge of the willow branches, casting its light on every part of thend.

    The river water under the bridge shed with waves. The old ancient bridge seemed to have shaken off its history in the tender grass and willow trees, using new strength to support the youth¡¯s path.

    If the painting that she had just drawn for the tall woman was filled with a solemn and noble feeling,

    The painting that was given to the young man was filled with vigor and youth, making one feel ted at first sight.

    ¡°It¡¯s alreadyte. I¡¯m sorry that we can¡¯t work anymore. Goodbye, everyone.¡± An Rao blocked the people who wanted to continue painting with Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that they were so determined, everyone could only leave regretfully.

    The young man was also a rich person. After paying the same fee as the previous person, he even gave an additional 2,000 euros as a reward.

    After all, he really liked this painting.

    The sky had darkened, and Xia Wanyuan and An Rao began to pack up and return to the hotel.

    ¡®When they arrived at the hotel, An Rao calcted today¡¯s ie and expenditure.

    ¡°Sister! You¡¯re amazing!! We still have 23,000 Euros left!! Oh my god, we don¡¯t have to go out and earn money anymore!¡±

    After An Rao finished speaking, the production team¡¯s face turned green.

    It was clearly a two-day recording. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would earn money so quickly? What was there to record for the following program?

    The resort where Xia Wanyuan and An Rao stayed was 500 euros a night, together with all sorts of expenses.

    23,000 euros. As long as Xia Wanyuan and An Rao didn¡¯t buy luxury goods, they were extremely rich in food, drinks, and amodations.

    ¡°Production team, I love you. You arranged a thigh for me. The feeling of hugging my sister¡¯s thigh is too good!¡±

    [ Hahahaha, I want a thigh like Xia Wanyuan too. What goddess? I really love her. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is simply a bug-like existence in a challenge variety program. I¡¯m really curious. Is there anything she can¡¯t pass? }

    [ Thest guest didn¡¯t earn enough money to stay in the hotel for two days. In the end, the production team couldn¡¯t stand it and lent it to them. But when ites to Xia Wanyuan, she has too much money to spend. She¡¯s too fierce. }

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were safely counting the money in the hotel.

    On the other side, Xuan Sheng¡¯s team was quite leisurely.

    After all, wherever Xuan Sheng was, the person who delivered the gifts would be there. Qin Cang was in his team and did not need to spend any effort.

    Xuan Sheng seemed to be here for a vacation.

    Lin Xuan and Zhang Xing were in a worse state. The two of them first sang on the streets in the afternoon. Although they had earned more than 200 euros, they did not even earn the money to stay in the hotel.

    Zhang Xing and Lin Xuan could only find another way.

    ¡°What do you know?¡± Ever since they had just started filming the program, Zhang Xing had heard that Lin Xuan was multi-talented. Now, it was time for her to perform.

    ¡°Pouring tea, arranging flowers, reading, singing, yoga,¡± Lin Xuan said as Zhang Xing¡¯s face darkened visibly.

    These were indeed considered talents, but they were useless here.

    Zhang Xing thought for a while and saw a family selling Chinese toys in Chinatown next door. An idea popped up in his head. ¡°How about this? I know how to y tricks. We¡¯ll perform on the streets in a while and earn some money.¡±

    ¡°Huh? y tricks?¡± Seeing Zhang Xing¡¯s expression change, Lin Xuan immediately changed her words. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Go and buy it. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    However, when it came to the real performance, while Zhang Xing was ying with his gun, Lin Xuan was too embarrassed to shout. She stood at the side and did not speak.

    Zhang Xing had no choice but to shout and y with his gun.

    [ Emmm, I pity Zhang Xing so much. He was scammed in the previous episode too. This time, he was scammed again. }]

    [Isn¡¯t Lin Xuan too petite?? Will she die by opening her mouth and shouting? Does she really think of herself as the Big Miss? ]

    { Our Lin Xuan has never shouted like this on the streets, okay? So what if she¡¯s thin-skinned? ]

    Thements were noisy.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao counted the money and prepared to eat.

    ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± An Rao asked Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t really want to eat Western food.¡± Xia Wanyuan belonged to the category of people who could asionally eat Western food and try its vor, but could not eat it consecutively.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat it either. Sister, let¡¯s go and upgrade a suite to one with a kitchen. Let¡¯s make something to eat ourselves. You¡¯ve worked hard today, so I¡¯ll reward you. How about it?¡± An Rao hooked her arm around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed, and the two of them went to upgrade to a suite.

    Then, An Rao made a list and gave a tip, asking the waiter to send everything over.

    { Emmmm, no matter how I look at it, An Rao doesn¡¯t look like someone who knows how to cook. }

    { Yuan Yuan, we might as well eat western food. I¡¯m so afraid that the two of them will still have to obediently eat outside. ]

    { Hahahahaha, don¡¯t be like this. You have to trust An Rao fully. What if she knows how to cook noodles or something? ]

    In the apartment next door, An Rao, who was covered in a nket, was furious when she saw thements. She threw the nket away.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with these people?! They have no taste at all. Hah, I¡¯m so angry.¡±

    Bo Xiao sat on the sofa on the other side and watched An Rao cry in anger. He felt amused and poured a ss of water for her. ¡°They¡¯ll know how amazing An Rao is in a while. Who is An Rao? The Master Chef.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± An Rao could not help butugh at Bo Xiao. ¡°You¡¯re the Chef God. Do you know how to speak? Shouldn¡¯t I be a vixen like this? The kind that kills everyone with lust.¡±

    It was Bo Xiao¡¯s turn to be amused. ¡°Are you stupid? Who scolds themselves like that?¡±

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. Bo Xiao, you¡¯re so old-fashioned. You don¡¯t know that in the past, when you said that a woman was a vixen, you were scolding her. Now, when you say that a woman is a vixen, that¡¯s apliment. Have you seen a vixen who isn¡¯t good-looking and doesn¡¯t have a good figure?¡±

    ¡°What nonsense is this?¡± Bo Xiao knocked on An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Put on the nket and watch television properly.¡±

    ¡°Why are you wearing a nket when it¡¯s so hot?¡± Bo Xiao had always liked to let her wear a coat or a thin nket at home these few days.

    ¡®As An Rao finished speaking, Bo Xiao suddenly approached.

    ¡°What? Didn¡¯t you say you wouldn¡¯t¡­¡± An Rao was scalded by his heat.

    ¡°If you wear a sling in front of me every day, I can¡¯t guarantee that our agreement back then will still be effective. I made you wear a jacket for your own good. You heartless person.¡±

    Only then did An Rao lower her head to take a look. She was used to wearing this, so she did not know that her already hot figure wearing a suspender was not a small temptation for Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. Back then, I didn¡¯t know who said that my figure was bad and no one looked at me. Hmph.¡± An Rao scoffed, but she still quickly pulled the nket over and covered herself. Her ears were slightly red. ¡°Hooligan.¡±

    Bo Xiaoughed. ¡°Sure, so I¡¯m a dog man and a hooligan. I¡¯m still indecent.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± An Rao snorted.

    Bo Xiao retreated to the sofa. ¡°Alright, whatever you say is right. Sigh, my wife is strict..

    In the video, everyone was worried about An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dinner.

    ¡®Then, they saw An Rao handling the ribs very skillfully.

    ¡®They watched the knife undte on the chopping board. Under the knife was a pile of thin potato threads.

    { F*ck, she really knows how to cook! ]

    [ It overturned my understanding. An Rao looks like an aunt who exploitsbor. She doesn¡¯t look like someone who knows how to cook. Furthermore, looking at her knife skills, her skills must be pretty good. }]

    ¡®There were only two people eating, so An Rao did not cook much.

    One was braised pork ribs, one was sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and the other was steamed seafood.

    Seeing An Rao skillfully busy in the kitchen, the bright-colored pork ribs were quickly served on the table.

    The shredded potatoes were originally cut very thin. They were ced in the pot of oil and rolled a few times before being scooped up. The texture was just right and the color was beautiful.

    ¡°Sister, eat!!¡± An Rao called out to the outside. Not long after, Xia Wanyuan walked over with two bottles of iced drinks.

    ¡°Try my food.¡± An Rao scooped the rice and ced it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out with her chopsticks and tasted it, then gave An Rao a thumbs up. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±

    They sat by the window, the night wind dispersing the gloom in the house. As they drank in ce of wine, they chewed on soft pork ribs and ate fresh prawns and crabs.

    An Rao was talkative. Although she was worried about the camera and did not say anything private, she kept chatting with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan ate and asionally replied.

    { Wow, I¡¯m salivating. It smells so good. ]

    [In the past, | felt that it was strange that Xia Wanyuan and An Rao could y together. Now that I look at it, I feel that it¡¯s so harmonious. I also want a friend who can drink, eat, and chat with me in the evening breeze. }]

    While Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were eating, Zhang Xing and Lin Xuan had just earned enough hotel money for the night.

    After paying the hotel fee, the two of them did not have much money left. Lin Xuan was furious. When she walked to the room, she was on the phone with a friend. Because she was angry and tired, she had even forgotten that there was a camera in the room.

    ¡°It¡¯s so annoying. Zhang Xing is useless. The production team is also crazy. They didn¡¯t arrange for me to be with Xuan Sheng. Xuan Sheng doesn¡¯t have to do anything and someone gives him food. This Zhang Xing has been busy the entire afternoon and can¡¯t even afford dinner.¡±

    At that moment, thements exploded because of Lin Xuan¡¯s words.

    [ F*ck, this woman is shameless. If not for Zhang Xing, she would probably be sleeping on the streets now. How dare she despise him? }

    [ She¡¯s been licking her face and putting on airs all afternoon. She didn¡¯t even help. Zhang Xing was the only one working hard and shouting himself. I¡¯m so angry. I want to p this woman. }

    Lin Xuan only realized that there were cameras when she passed by the door after the call and went to get the towel.

    Now, she had even forgotten the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion. She was flustered and hurriedly recalled what she had said. The more she thought, the more shocked she became.

    It¡¯s over. After Lin Xuan panicked, she hurriedly calmed down and continued to busy herself as if nothing had happened.

    In the suite, An Rao and Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair to digest their food after eating.

    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m going back to my room.¡± An Rao touched her stomach. She was so full.

    Each team had eaten their dinners. On Lin Xuan¡¯s side, Zhang Xing gave her a box of instant noodles. Lin Xuan, who was so hungry that she even drank all the instant noodle soup.

    The night gradually darkened.

    ¡®There were a fewrge words attached at the end of the program. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look. What are the celebrities doing?¡±

    ¡®The camera team knocked on everyone¡¯s door and attacked suddenly.

    After entering the door, Xia Wanyuan was reading by the window. The production team flipped through the cover. It was filled with ancient text, and the notebook by the side was filled with neat handwriting.

    Even the film crew eximed in their hearts. As expected, being a professor of Qing University, she not only relied on talent but also hard work.

    ¡®The camera turned to An Rao again. She kicked open the door with her slippers. Clearly, she did not expect the film crew toe at this time.

    ¡°An Rao, what are you doing?¡± the director asked.

    ¡°ah, I¡¯m applying a facial mask. I¡¯m going to sleep soon.¡± Just as An Rao finished speaking, the game announcement ¡°You¡¯ve been killed¡± came from a phone not far away.

    The camera switched to the phone screen. The ring 0-10 on it made An Rao involuntarily cover her face.

    ¡°I just did it casually.¡± An Rao tried to save some face for herself.

    ¡°You¡¯re so stupid. Come and get the reward after you¡¯re revived.¡± A pleasant male voice suddenly came from the phone.

    The audience¡¯s first reaction was.

    Lian Po still needs to take rewards?! Which god jungler is this? Can you give me one?

    The second reaction was.

    Isn¡¯t this voice too familiar? Why do I feel like I¡¯ve heard it before?!

    As someone who did not y well but had good gaming quality, An Rao immediately picked up her phone and continued gaming the moment she entered the room.

    Objectively speaking, she would cheat her teammates, but subjectively, she did not want to cheat her teammates.

    Afraid that her teammates would hear her, An Rao turned off the microphone in advance.

    The production team did not think much of it. ¡°Does An Rao still like to y games? Does she y with friends?¡±

    ¡°No, I yed it myself.¡± Just as An Rao finished speaking,

    Seeing that An Rao was wandering around the jungle after reviving, the immortal-like Li Bai said, ¡°Come and get the reward.¡±

    The camera switched to the game screen. The blue bar on Li Bai¡¯s head, who was dressed in a royal outfit, had already been depleted. The blue monster beside him had been beaten to death by him, but he did not kill it. Instead, he waited for An Rao to hit him onest time.

    And Lian Bo, who was staggering to get the blue bar, clearly did not have a blue bar.

    ¡°The production team was speechless.

    How could a passer-by¡¯s teammate be so good?? Who would believe that he didn¡¯t know her? Why was it that when he fought, his teammate was full blue and wanted to snatch the blue buff?

    Could it be that we¡¯re not ying the same King of Glory?

    An Rao clearly felt that her words could not be trusted. ¡°This is a disciple I epted online. We¡¯re not considered friends, but we y together.¡±

    Everyone watched as Li Bai killed 20 people and died 0 times.

    They then looked at An Rao¡¯s 0 kills and 10 deaths.

    Has the position of this disciple and master been reversed?

    Then, everyone watched as Lian Po, who did not have a blue bar, stepped on the shining blue buff and followed behind Li Bai to help.

    Soon, a game was won under Li Bai¡¯s lead.

    At the same time, on Weibo,izens with fast hands had already intercepted An Rao¡¯s variety video.

    The sentence ¡°Come and get the reward¡± perfectly matched the tone of ¡°I¡¯ll always be loyal to the country¡¯ in the national news not long ago.

    @ Drama First Online: ¡°I¡¯m certain that this voice in An Rao¡¯s game belongs to Bo Xiao.¡±

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m jealous. What kind of immortal love is this? Li Bai who doesn¡¯t have any blue bars is actually giving the blue bar to Lian Po. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, lemon is surrounding me. }

    [ Don¡¯t tell me the two of them are in an online rtionship¡­ My disciple pounced on Master or something¡­ Is she ying the same game as me? ]

    [ Other people y games and fall in love. I y games and practice scolding people. We both have a lot of gains ~ ]

    Bo Xiao was lying on the sofa and looking at his phone when he saw this Weibo post.

    Seeing that theizens were wondering why Bo Xiao had to level up Lian Po even though he had lost his blue light,

    Bo Xiao very considerately replied to aizen.

    ¡°Because she said no one had ever given her blue monsters and rewards.¡±

    The heroes that An Rao liked to y were mostly Bull Demon King and Lian Po. Don¡¯t mention giving her rewards, they wouldn¡¯t even think that she was a woman.

    Anyway, An Rao had always yed alone, so it did not matter.

    However, there was once when she yed with Bo Xiao, Bo Xiao yed a jungler without a blue bar. When he heard An Rao say that the light of the blue buff was very beautiful, he gave it to An Rao.

    However, An Rao¡¯s damage was low. After fighting for a long time, she still could not finish it. It was not easy for her to get the blue buff. A soft and cute girl who had always been using wheat took away the blue that An Rao had worked so hard to hit with a skill.

    She even mocked, ¡°How dare a person like Lian Po take the blue monster and rewards?? Are you worthy??¡±

    Bo Xiao was fighting a team at that time. When he heard his teammate¡¯s words, he immediately gave up on the team battle to coax An Rao. Then, he realized that An Rao was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a blue bar? Anyway, you don¡¯t have a blue bar.¡± Bo Xiaoforted An Rao.

    ¡°Te never used a blue buff before. This is the first time someone has given me a blue buff. I just want to know what it¡¯s like to have a blue buff on me.¡± An Rao looked pitiful, as if she was about to cry.

    Bo Xiao fell silent. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯l give you all my blue monsters and rewards in the future.¡±

    Bo Xiao did as he said. From then on, no matter what jungler he yed, from the beginning of the game to the end, all the blue rewards belonged to An Rao.

    On Weibo, because of Bo Xiao¡¯s words, this Weibo post immediately became popr.

    [1 originally thought that it was an imitation. I didn¡¯t expect that when I clicked on it, it was really Young Master Bo. Wow, wow, wow, wow. This is the first time I¡¯m so close to the big boss! ]

    [ Because no one gave her blue rewards, even the jungler who had used up all his blue must give her blue. God, I¡¯m so sour. Boohoo, boohoo, today is also a day to cry for someone else¡¯s love. ]

    ¡°Bo Xiao An Rao¡± quickly entered the trending topic, causing a group of singles to cry out.

    On the program, seeing that An Rao was engrossed in the game, the production team filmed for a while before leaving the room.

    The production team knew very well about the other viewership point of this program.

    Hence, after leaving An Rao¡¯s door, everyone went straight to Xuan Sheng¡¯s room..

    ¡®There were three knocks on the door before Xuan Sheng opened it.

    The moment he opened the door, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were covered by Jun Shiling.

    ¡°?? Jun Shiling, what are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan helplessly wanted to push his hand away, but Jun Shiling¡¯s hand did not move.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look.¡±

    ¡°_.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked and said nothing in the end.

    Jun Shiling minded Xuan Sheng¡¯s existence. There was no need for her to make Jun Shiling unhappy because of this.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and buried her face in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll watchter.¡±

    On the screen, what Jun Shiling did not want Xia Wanyuan to see was Xuan Sheng, who had just taken a shower.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s facial features were extremely beautiful. When he opened the door for the production team, he had just taken a shower. His bathrobe was loosely wrapped around him, and the water on the tip of his hair flowed down his chest into the sleeping robe.

    [ Mommy, I can do it again! }

    [ Stop filming! My husband is going to sleep with me!! I¡¯ll take a shower now! ]

    [ Please allow me to wipe my saliva first. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, so handsome. }

    Continent 0¡¯spany arranged a presidential suite for Xuan Sheng. The camera turned into the room and one could see the stars outside through the huge French windows.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, are you ready to sleep?¡±

    ¡°Not yet.¡± Xuan Sheng wiped his hair with a towel. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just came to see what the guests are doing.¡± Xuan Sheng looked sloppy, but he gave people a sense of pressure. The production team¡¯s words were a little weak.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xuan Sheng rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the recliner by the window. He clicked on the remote control.

    Soft music came from the room.

    Anyone who had heard of it knew that this was a song from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s album.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s originally impatient expression became much better after closing his eyes and listening to the song.

    ¡®The production team trembled and stayed in the room for a while.

    ¡®The questions that he had prepared¡ª¡±What¡¯s your rtionship with Xia Wanyuan?¡±, ¡°Why do you like Xia Wanyuan?¡±, ¡°What did you eat for dinner?¡±¡ªwere all forced back by Xuan Sheng¡¯s charming but cold side profile.

    The production team greeted Xuan Sheng and left immediately.

    The camera switched.

    Jun Shiling finally let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold expression. Hence, she reached out and pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°CEO Jun, didn¡¯t you say that you were magnanimous?¡±

    ¡°Stop smiling.¡± Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, his face still filled with anger.

    The hurdle of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± for this episode was the most wondrous since the program was broadcasted.

    In the past recordings,

    It was always the guests who did their best to earn money and got up before the sun rose. They only came back at night, panting from exhaustion.

    In this episode, Xuan Sheng¡¯s team had people giving them money even when they were lying down.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s group had earned 23,000 euros in half a day. There was no problem even if they slept in the hotel for two days and two nights.

    By the time Zhang Xuan and Lin Xuan had worked on the streets for two hours, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had just woken up.

    The two of them slowly finished breakfast.

    ¡°Sister, what are we going to do today?¡±

    ¡°Do you want to watch apetition?¡± When she was painting by the bridge yesterday, she had heard that there was a very famous horsemanshippetition here today. In her previous life, she liked to ride horses very much and was very interested in thispetition.

    ¡°Okay!¡± To An Rao, as long as she did not leave her alone in the hotel, she could go anywhere.

    ¡®The production team was in tears. ¡®My grandaunts, this is a challenge program. I didn¡¯t ask you toe for a vacation and shop.¡±

    ¡®When Xia Wanyuan and An Rao arrived at their destination, everyone knew what Xia Wanyuan wanted to watch.

    Most people could note into contact with suchpetitions.

    As for the audience who liked horsemanship, they were already very excited.

    This was a world-renowned HOpetition. It was held once a year, but because its requirements were especially high, there were many restrictions on the audience¡¯s admission. Normally, equestrian lovers could only see thispetition from the news.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan and An Rao barge in, everyone was speechless. How could they enter?

    ¡®As expected, things went as the audience had expected. After confirming that Xia Wanyuan did not have an invitation, the guard directly rejected her.

    ¡°alright,¡± Xia Wanyuan could only say regretfully.

    ¡°Tm sorry, we¡¯re together.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to leave when Xuan Sheng¡¯s voice came from behind. He handed her an invitation.

    As if he knew that Xia Wanyuan would reject him, Xuan Sheng hurriedly added, ¡°Consider it a repayment for letting me profit the previous time.¡±

    ¡®With Xuan Sheng saying this, Xia Wanyuan no longer hesitated. She took the invitation letter and the guard respectfully weed them in.

    ¡®The venue was huge and Xia Wanyuan had just sat down.

    ¡°Tsk, I¡¯ve always heard that Chinese women value their morals the most. Now, it looks like this is all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced to the side and met a pair of beautiful mixed-blood eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. It was a familiar face.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you met Li Qingxuest time?¡± Jun Shiling saw the woman on the screen and frowned.

    ¡°What can I do if I tell you? She¡¯s just a loser.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned and nudged Jun Shiling with her elbow. ¡°I want to eat ice cream. Get me one.¡±

    ¡°No, you can¡¯t eat it at night.¡±

    ¡°Look at the rotten peach blossoms you attracted. I¡¯m already in Continent 0 and I still have your peach blossoms. Yet you still don¡¯t let me eat ice-cream? You¡¯re too bad to me.¡±

    ¡°_.¡±Jun Shiling was speechless.

    ¡°are you going?¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed her luck.

    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s all you know.¡± Jun Shiling stood up helplessly.

    On the screen, seeing that Xia Wanyuan was ignoring her, anger surged in Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes.

    How dare a mere actress ignore me?

    It was only after returning to Continent 0 that Li Qingxue learned about Xia Wanyuan from Madam York.

    Now that she had finally seen her in person, Li Qingxue felt that this face was indeed alluring. No wonder she could be Jun Shiling¡¯s mistress.

    At this moment, she finally saw the camera behind Xia Wanyuan.

    An actress was an actress. She was indeed lousy.

    The production team did not think that what this woman said had anything to do with them. Although they felt that this person was rude, she was just a passer-by after all, so they did not care much.

    On the other hand, Xuan Sheng looked at Li Qingxue especially.

    ¡°Miss Anna, pleasee with us to the VIP area for a seat.¡± At this moment, the staff in the venue heard the news and came to invite Li Qingxue to the VIP seat in the inner court very respectfully.

    As a Saide family with influence in the entire world, even if Li Qingxue was not a core member of the Saide family, she would enjoy extremely high treatment wherever she went.

    ¡°Mm, got

    i Qingxue tidied her clothes and looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully.

    Low-ss people could only stay in the position of low-ss people.

    With the staff escorting her, Li Qingxue left.

    An Rao felt a little baffled. Why did I feel that this unfamiliar woman looked at Xia Wanyuan with an obvious sense of superiority?

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, do you know this woman? Why do I feel that the way she looks at you is strange?¡±

    Not only An Rao, but even the production team felt that this beautiful woman had an inexplicable sense of superiority. Furthermore, it seemed like she was hostile to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not share her gaze with Li Qingxue but focused on thepetition venue.

    Thepetition had already begun.

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao did not probe further and apanied Xia Wanyuan to watch thepetition.

    As expected of a world-renowned horse racingpetition. The horses that participated were one in a thousand. Even Xia Wanyuan, who had seen many good horses, could not help but nod in admiration.

    After all, ¡°Endless Challenge¡± was a variety program recording, so there were not many scenes for the equestrianpetition.

    The scene changed to the award ceremony for thepetition.

    The champion and runner-up slowly entered the venue on their BMW and was handed the trophy by the organizers of thepetition.

    At that moment, in the VIP area of the inner court, Li Qingxue could see Xia Wanyuan standing in the distance through the distant crowd. She stretched out her hand and waved. Soon, a man in a suit walked over.

    ¡°Miss Anna, what can I do for you?¡±

    Li Qingxue pointed at Xia Wanyuan in the distance and spoke to the man in the suit. The man nodded and left the VIP area.

    Li Qingxue stirred the coffee in her cup and the corners of her lips curled up.

    ¡°Twant to show Jun Shiling how bad his mistress is.¡±

    On the field, the award ceremony for the contestants had already ended. The host walked to the stage with the microphone. ¡°Okay, next up is our traditional project for many years. We will choose a lucky person to experience a horsemanshippetition and circle the field once!! Everyone in the audience

    has this opportunity, so who will be the lucky person?¡±

    Just as the host finished speaking, loud cheers sounded in the venue.

    A box with the seats in the venue was carried onto the stage.

    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s choose a lucky audience now!¡± As the host spoke, he shook the box and randomly picked one out.

    ¡°Let us congratte this friend from number 22 of District B 8. She will be our lucky person today!!¡±

    On the big screen, the camera pointed to the seat that had been drawn.

    A gorgeous face appeared in front of everyone.

    The cheers of the audience swept across the entire stadium like waves..

    Because Xia Wanyuan had surpassed the boundaries of race with her beauty, everyone whistled when she stood up.

    ¡°Okay, pleasee to our stage.¡± The host was also very surprised. It was actually such a beautiful Oriental woman.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the stage.

    ¡°Excuse me, where are you from?¡± The host began his usual interview.

    China.¡±

    ¡°Wow, everyone says that there are many beauties in the East. You¡¯re not lying to me. May I ask this beautiful Chinese girl, do you usually like to ride horses?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I like it very much.¡±

    ¡°Wow, so you¡¯re good at riding horses?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not humble at all. After all, her riding skills were indeed very good.

    ¡°since you won this lucky award today, I¡¯ll leave thepetition venue to you. We¡¯re all your audience. We¡¯ll let you experience the feeling of being the champion, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    At this moment, the staff walked in with a ck horse.

    The audience, including the contestants, looked at the horse in the field in confusion.

    Those who knew horses knew that this was a horse that had not been domesticated. Even professionals did not dare to use such a horse directly. How could they let an audience ride it?

    The host also realized that something was wrong and was about to ask the organizers when he saw the manager shake his head at him.

    Thinking of his job, the host hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration when she nced at it.

    It was a good horse. She liked such a strong-tempered precious horse.

    ¡®When the staff brought the horse to her and handed her a pile of protective equipment, Xia Wanyuan waved her hand.

    How could there be so many things to be particr about in her previous life? They still fought with a man and a horse.

    In the end, the host still could not stand it. He secretly instructed the staff to call the horse tamer over. In case the situation was wrong, he could quickly get her down.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled the reins and led the horse two steps.

    Be it her actions or expression, there was no standard modern horsemanship at all.

    The audience whispered. This Oriental woman was probably bragging when she said that she knew horsemanship. From her actions, she did not look like she knew how to ride a horse.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan moved. She held the reins and jumped onto the horse¡¯s back without the help of the staff. With her legs wrapped around the horse¡¯s stomach, the horse began to move slowly in the field.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan climb onto the horse so valiantly and with her appearance, the audience cheered.

    However, after a few steps, Xia Wanyuan acutely noticed that the horse¡¯s ears twitched, as if it had heard something that made it uneasy.

    If the sound waves had a physical body, Xia Wanyuan would realize that there were continuous supersonic waves spreading out from the backstage.

    This sound wave did not sound like much to humans, but to animals, it could stimte their excitement.

    Xia Wanyuan tightened the reins. As expected, less than three secondster, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed, then swung Xia Wanyuan crazily on its back.

    The audience eximed and hurriedly shouted for help.

    The horse tamers and staff standing by the side also swarmed up, but a horse that had gone crazy was not so easy to subdue. No matter how the horse tamers gestured, it was useless.

    Xia Wanyuan held onto the reins tightly to prevent herself from falling off the horse¡¯s back. Then, she gripped the horse¡¯s leg tightly and suddenly twitched the reins.

    The horse, which had been swinging crazily on the spot, paused for a moment after being pped. Then, it suddenly ran forward.

    The speed of a good horse was naturally extremely fast, especially a crazy good horse. Everyone only saw a remnant image charge out like a bolt of lightning.

    Xia Wanyuan held the reins tightly to control the direction. As she followed the crazy horse¡¯s speed, she graduallyforted him.

    The staff had already called the ambnce, and the audience was preparing to watch the flesh-and-blood scene. In the end, they saw circles after circles.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s horse gradually quieted down.

    Although its speed was still very fast, it was obvious that it was no longer that crazy speed. Instead, it waspletely controlled by Xia Wanyuan.

    On the circr racing track, Xia Wanyuan was riding a horse. The sunlight cast a golden glow on her body, and her ink-ck hair fluttered. She looked indescribably unrestrained and heroic.

    ¡°Wow!!! That¡¯s amazing!!¡± The audience did not expect to see such an exciting scene, and their cheers were louder than waves.

    The production team was also shocked.

    Initially, the director was already so hopeless that he called the station and asked them to prepare thepensation. He almost thought of where to bury his corpse after he died.

    Then, he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s magical operation. The photographer hurriedly switched the camera to Xia Wanyuan, who was pulling the reins and running on the field.

    ¡®When Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans saw that horse go crazy, they were so angry that they almost overturned the official Weibo ount of ¡°Endless Challenge¡± ¡®s production team.

    [ Do you guys have a heart?!! For the sake of the viewership ratings, you made an artiste do such a dangerous project! }

    { I don¡¯t dare to look anymore!! We handed Yuan Yuan over to you properly, and this is how you treat her! ]

    [ Sisters, stop scolding. Who dares to bully Xia Wanyuan? I beg you to watch the program. Xia Wanyuan is simply a god. ]

    Fans who could not ept seeing Xia Wanyuan fall off the horse and leave the video saw what the passers-by said and clicked back on the video.

    ¡®Then, they saw the screen filled with ¡°66666666¡±, ¡°AAA¡±, ¡°Swoosh, I¡¯m crying¡±.

    Fans: The main character is so outstanding that we¡¯re ashamed every time.

    ¡®When they reacted, they hurriedly returned to Weibo and apologized profusely to the production team of ¡°Endless Challenge¡¯.

    ¡®The camera zoomed in on Xuan Sheng¡¯s close-up. Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom-shaped eyes were shining as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. There was a smile on his face that he did not realize.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip tightened. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly turned around and kissed him. ¡°Don¡¯t be jealous.¡±

    ¡°Tm not jealous.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan up and looked at her seriously. ¡°Don¡¯t always do such risky things. What if you can¡¯t control that horse?¡±

    ¡°How can that be? You have to believe in my skills.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice softened at the end of her sentence.

    Jun Shiling looked at her with a serious expression, making her feel weak.

    ¡°Tl be worried.¡± Jun Shiling looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes sternly.

    Perhaps she didn¡¯t think much of it. It was just a bold attempt.

    Even if the probability of her getting injured was only one percent, in his eyes, it was one hundred percent.

    ¡°Lunderstand.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned over and kissed Jun Shiling. ¡°Smile. I was wrong, okay?¡±

    However, Jun Shiling still had the image of Xia Wanyuan being swung crazily on the horse in his mind. He could notugh at all. The aura on him was so heavy that it was scary. He did not even hug Xia Wanyuan anymore and sat quietly on the sofa without speaking.

    Xia Wanyuan looked helplessly at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile.

    She did not think too much at that time. Looking back now, she was indeed a little reckless.

    Jun Shiling was so angry because he was worried about her.

    Xia Wanyuan watched the television program. As for the rest, she would watch the rey tomorrow. Then, she stood up from Jun Shiling¡¯sp.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to bed. We¡¯ll watch tomorrow. I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Go to sleep first. I¡¯ll goter.¡± Jun Shiling did not want to be angry with Xia Wanyuan, but she always ignored her safety, which made him feel very ufortable.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not speak further.

    Back in the bedroom, Xia Wanyuany on the bed with her eyes wide open for a long time. She had finally mentally prepared herself.

    Anyway, there were only Jun Shiling and her, and no one else could see them. It was no big deal to make him happy.

    Jun Shiling had stored clothes in the apartment too.

    Xia Wanyuan took out Jun Shiling¡¯s shirt from the wardrobe.

    She had secretly flipped through the links An Rao had sent her. Although many of the things in them were not very reliable, one of them was mentioned by most of the links.

    That was, men would like to see their lovers wear their clothes.

    Xia Wanyuan put on Jun Shiling¡¯s shirt. Even though Xia Wanyuan was already considered the taller of the women, Jun Shiling was 188 cm tall. When his shirt was worn on Xia Wanyuan, it hung down to the middle of her thighs.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and finally threw away the hot pants in her hand.

    Xia Wanyuan untied the headband and casually scratched her hair.

    Standing in front of the changing mirror, Xia Wanyuan was barefoot and wearing a simple shirt. However, her entire person exuded a different kind of charm.

    ¡®There was a faint pine fragrance on the shirt. Xia Wanyuan knew that it was Jun Shiling¡¯s aura.

    Her cheeks were red without any makeup.

    Jun Shiling sat in the living room for a while, but in the end, his heart softened. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was a little afraid of the dark. He sighed, stood up, and walked to the bedroom.

    The moment he pushed open the door, Xia Wanyuan, who was in front of the mirror, happened to look up¡­

    Meeting Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed even redder. She curled up in embarrassment.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s pupils constricted when he realized that the shirt Xia Wanyuan was wearing was his.

    ¡°This again? Do you think it¡¯ll work?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was low, and there was nothing strange on his cold face. He stood rooted to the ground and did note over.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion, then lowered her head to look at her fair leg. ¡®Is it useless?¡¯

    Xia Wanyuan sat by the bed. Her clothes that could reach the middle of her legs could only cover the roots when she sat down.

    ¡°CEO Jun, your clothes smell so good.¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to smell the shirt cor, then blinked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling finally moved.

    He slowly closed the door and walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡®When he walked to the bed, Xia Wanyuan stretched out her leg to stop Jun Shiling from continuing.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it wouldn¡¯t work?¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head, her eyes hiding a smile.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to take a look, hiding the surging emotions in his eyes.

    ¡®When she looked up again, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was still serious. ¡°You can¡¯t do this every time you make a mistake. You always ignore your own safety. Don¡¯t think of using this to bluff your way out.¡±

    ¡°Can I bluff my way through this?¡± Xia Wanyuan removed the first two buttons, revealing the faint ckce.

    ¡°Jun Shiling clenched his fists.

    ¡°How about this?¡± Xia Wanyuan used her foot to draw up Jun Shiling¡¯s leg.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s defense line copsed. He suddenly grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle and pulled her down.

    ¡°You asked for it today. Don¡¯t cryter,¡± Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and said.

    Only now did Xia Wanyuan realize that it was not useless, Jun Shiling was about to melt her.

    ¡°Who¡¯s crying?¡± Xia Wanyuan said indignantly.

    However, in the following time, she knew what Jun Shiling meant.

    This person was usually a wolf, but today, he was even more terrifying, as if he did not know fatigue.

    Furthermore, he was really fierce.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was filled with tears.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I was wrong.¡± Xia Wanyuan obediently admitted her mistake. Otherwise, she felt that she would evaporate immediately.

    ¡°Wrong? How were you wrong?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was even deeper and had a hint of numbness.

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have worn your clothes.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that she had really courted death.

    ¡°No.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan say this, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes became even more strange. ¡°I like it when you wear mine.¡±

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have ignored my safety. I¡¯ll definitely pay attention next time.¡± Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s dangerous thoughts, Xia Wanyuan shrank back warily.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re so naughty. You should be punished.¡±

    His warm hand began to move up and down again.

    ¡°Are you still sleeping? Mm¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s protest was blocked again.

    After some time, when she could finally see the light in the sky, Xia Wanyuan was so tired that she lost consciousness.

    Bo Xiao had ordered many breakfasts in the morning. He and An Rao could not finish them, so they wanted to send some to Jun Shiling and the rest.

    The bell rang a few times before someone came to open the door.

    ¡°Here.¡± Bo Xiao handed over a box and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. CEO Jun, how does it feel to spend the night in the hibiscus tent?¡±

    Even if Jun Shiling did not say it, the satisfaction on Jun Shiling¡¯s face was too obvious.

    How could one usually see the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes and the spring in his eyebrows?

    Jun Shiling took the box and nced at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Why are you asking this? You won¡¯t understand.¡± Then, Jun Shiling closed the door.

    Bo Xiao stood rooted to the ground with a question mark on his face. ¡®Was I mocked by Jun Shiling? And what¡¯s with the smug expression on Jun Shiling¡¯s face? Isn¡¯t that too much, Brother?

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was still sleeping. After breakfast, Jun Shiling worked in the living room.

    Xia Wanyuan was woken up by the phone ringing. Xia Wanyuan took the phone and saw that it was Shen Qian.

    After hearing Shen Qian finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°T¡¯ll go overter.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan got up and lifted the nket. Her legs turned weak and she almost stopped.

    Jun Shiling, who hade over at some point in time, helped her.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you beast.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling angrily.

    ¡°Mm, Madam is right.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and nodded.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan was sent to Xiu Yi¡¯s door, while Jun Shiling went to work.

    Xiu Yi¡¯s door was closed and one could only see exquisite clothes in the window.

    In the shop, a group of people sat opposite each other.

    ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t want to rent the shop to you anymore. I can pay the breach of contract.¡±

    ¡°Is this about the breach of contract?! Our shop¡¯s renovation is already done. You say that you¡¯re not renting it to us now, don¡¯t you have any industry ethics?¡± Xiu Yi¡¯s manager was very angry.

    ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s it. You can leave in three days.¡± A middle-aged woman took a sip of coffee gracefully and ordered them to leave.

    The price given by Xiu Yi was actually not low, but who asked Camellia to pay more?

    Furthermore, that brand was a high-end international brand. It could bring her much more invisible ie than this small brand..

    ¡®The Moon Bay project in Lin Xi City needed Shen Qian to keep an eye on it. Since he couldn¡¯t get away, he could only get Xia Wanyuan toe and take a look.

    Xia Wanyuan entered. Although the staff didn¡¯t know that she was the boss behind Xiu Yi, from Shen Qian¡¯s attitude towards herst time, everyone knew that she had a powerful background and weed her respectfully.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you open the store today?¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her bag.

    ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Since Shen Qian was so polite to Xia Wanyuan, the staff didn¡¯t hide it from her. ¡°Our shop originally rented this shop for a year, but who would have thought that the renovations was done, yet they said that they didn¡¯t want to rent it to us anymore and were willing to pay thepensation

    fee. The renovations in this house cost a lot. Our manager is arguing with the other party.¡±

    ¡°call the manager over.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The staff could not help but listen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s orders.

    Soon, the shop manager arrived.

    Qin Shuang was originally a gold medal salesperson in the Southern real estate industry. When she received a call from Beijing, she thought that it was a scam.

    In the end, after the other party said that he wanted to find her to be the store manager and gave her a sufficient sry and promotion channel, Qin Shuang felt that it was a scam.

    It was only when she came to Beijing to investigate skeptically that she realized that what the other party had said was true.

    At that time, she had asked the man who had brought her here, ¡°Why did you find me?¡±

    The man only replied, ¡°Our big boss thinks you are useful.¡±

    Qin Shuang had never nown who this big boss was referring to. Untilst time she saw Shen Qian being so respectful to Xia Wanyuan, she guessed that Xia Wanyuan was the real boss behind Xiu Yi.

    ¡°CEO Xia.¡± Qin Shuang bowed respectfully to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mim, tell me what happened.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Back then, Shen Qian had provided her with ten resumes, and she had finally chosen Qin Shuang as the manager of the embroidery shop. From the looks of it now, this person was indeed very observant.

    Qin Shuang told Xia Wanyuan about thendlord¡¯s breach of contract.

    The contract was written in ck and white. After the other party paid the breach of contract, it was not considered illegal. Xiu Yi¡¯spensations were all real. Thepensation that the other party gave was just enough topensate for the loss of the renovation.

    However, all the manpower and resources spent over such a long time had gone down the drain.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the window and pointed at the row of shops across the road. ¡°How¡¯s the rent over there?¡±

    ¡°The rent over there is much cheaper than here.¡± Although Qin Shuang had not been here for long, she had done a lot of homework. ¡°The core business circle is on our side. Because of the traffic n, it takes a long time to circle to the other side. Furthermore, there¡¯s norge parking lot over there, so the

    mercial value has been greatly reduced.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and asked, ¡°Have you checked? Who¡¯s fighting with us for this shop?¡±

    ¡°Ive asked around. It¡¯s Camellia that intends to open a gship store in Beijing. They¡¯re rich and have taken a fancy to the goose business circle and Fashion Street here, and they¡¯re willing to help pay the penalty fee.¡±

    ¡°Idon¡¯t want this shop anymore. Go and rent the row opposite.¡±

    ¡°One row???! There must be about ten stores.¡± Qin Shuang had worked in real estate in the past and had seen bold people, but she had never seen someone so bold.

    Furthermore, no matter how big the shop opposite was, itsmercial value could notpare to this ce.

    However, Qin Shuang was able to achieve gold medal sales and was extremely good at observing people¡¯s expressions. She naturally could tell that Xia Wanyuan was very determined. No matter what she said at this moment, Xia Wanyuan would not change her mind. Hence, she chose to shut up very

    cleverly.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Remove all the decorations here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already made her decision, so Qin Shuang went out to reply.

    Thendlord was shopping around Xiu Yi and touching the exquisite clothes. She clicked her tongue and said, ¡°This dress is really well made. Is there a promotion?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Qin Shuang said before the staff could answer.

    ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re so petty to open such a big shop.¡± Thendlord pursed her lips. ¡°When are you moving out?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll move in three days.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Thendlord was overjoyed. He looked at the originally messy shop and was delighted to see that it had been decorated beautifully. These modified circuits and decorations were equivalent to giving them to her for nothing.

    ¡°Mrs. Liu, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll restore the shop to its original state.¡± As if she had seen through thendlord¡¯s thoughts, Qin Shuang specially reminded her.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Don¡¯t let any junk pile up here in three days.¡± Thendlord thought that Qin Shuang was going to say that she would return the shop without shelves, so she could not suppress the smile on her face.

    Qin Shuang could not stand this kind of person who went back on her word. She immediately chased her out. Mrs. Liu cursed and left.

    ¡°You¡¯re so rich and have such low standards. That¡¯s too much.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. How can you break the contract so boldly?¡±

    As soon as thendlord left the house, the staff began to chat noisily.

    Qin Shuang nced over, and everyone immediately shut up. She walked to the office to report to Xia Wanyuan, but she did not see her.

    ¡°Where¡¯s CEO Xia?¡± Qin Shuang asked the youngdy beside her.

    ¡°She left a long time ago. She¡¯s probably long gone now.¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was driving towards the production team.

    After fooling around with Jun Shiling for the entire night and taking the morning off, she could not dy filming in the afternoon anymore.

    Director Wang Wei was very tolerant of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leave.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s filming efficiency was high. Even if she stayed on the production team for four to five days every day, the effect would not be as good as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s filming for half a day.

    Hence, even if Xia Wanyuan took a week off, Director Wang Wei felt that there was no problem.

    However, in the eyes of those who felt that Xia Wanyuan was arrogant and aloof, her actions were very willful.

    ¡°Xiaoguo, who did you bring this chair for?¡±

    Chen Xiaoguo was not tall to begin with. She was carrying a recliner that was taller than a person. The chair seemed to want to bend her entire body. The person beside her could not stand it anymore and immediately reached out to take it.

    ¡°[helped Senior Xia move it. Doesn¡¯t Senior like to lean under the tree and read? I heard that she¡¯sing in the afternoon. I¡¯ll put the chair for her first. She can sit directly when sheester.¡±

    It was fine if Chen Xiaoguo did not mention it. Once she did, everyone recalled that Xia Wanyuan had note to film this morning.

    ¡°In my opinion, the daughter of a rich family is indeed different. She can stop filming if she wants to. What time is it? She¡¯s not here at all.¡±

    ¡°Guo Guo, you¡¯re too silly. Why are you so good to that kind of person? Look at how rude she is. You treat her so well, but she doesn¡¯t even thank you. In our world, such people don¡¯t have manners. Be careful and don¡¯t be silly and let others bully you.¡±

    After this person finished speaking, she realized that everyone around her was looking behind her with strange expressions.

    She turned around.

    Xia Wanyuan was standing quietly behind, her beautiful phoenix eyes cold..

    The staff who had just been defending Chen Xiaoguo immediately panicked when she met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Miss Xia, that¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you mean?¡± Towards people who scolded her for no reason, Xia Wanyuan would never save face.

    ¡°Imean¡­ I¡­¡± The staff stammered for a long time but could not exin. After all, she had indeed said that Xia Wanyuan was uneducated.

    ¡°Chen Xiaoguo, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Chen Xiaoguo. ¡°If the contract you signed is fine, then you should be an actress like me. Do you need to do things like moving chairs?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood in front of everyone. Even though some of the staff were taller than her, they were suppressed by her aura.

    Chen Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment and prepared to exin.

    Before she could speak, Xia Wanyuan interrupted her. ¡°Besides, my manager moved this chair to my waiting room yesterday. Why did you enter my private space without permission?¡±

    Chen Xiaoguo saw that the expressions of the staff around her had changed. She hurriedly pinched her hand and squeezed out a string of tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Xia. I just want you to sit morefortably. I won¡¯t enter your room privately again.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to please me. We¡¯re colleagues. There¡¯s no such need.¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s tears.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Chen Xiaoguo sobbed.

    Xia Wanyuan walked straight past her.

    Arge part of the reason why the staff had dared to talk about Xia Wanyuan behind her back was because Xia Wanyuan had been quietly reading her book these few days. Everyone felt that she had a cold personality, so even if she heard them, she would not bicker with them.

    However, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold aura and how she could make Chen Xiaoguo cry with just a few words,

    Now, everyone knew that this person was not to be trifled with.

    Hence, everyone could only quietlyfort Chen Xiaoguo. Although they had something against Xia Wanyuan, they did not dare to casually discuss it.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the lounge and instructed Tang Yin, ¡°Pay attention to the public opinion on the Inte.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Tang Yin nodded. The first time she saw Chen Xiaoguo, she knew that this person was not a good person, so she specially sent people to keep an eye on her.

    ¡®As expected, before Xia Wanyuan could finish filming her scenes in the afternoon, the news of Xia Wanyuan bullying a newbie was posted by marketing ounts.

    In the picture, Xia Wanyuan looked down at Chen Xiaoguo, who was dragging a recliner that was taller than a person and pulling it down beside the tree with difficulty.

    There was also a picture of the two of them standing opposite each other. Chen Xiaoguo looked like she was about to cry. She had a baby face to begin with, and her crying like this made one subconsciously feel a sense of pity. In front of her stood the cold-faced Xia Wanyuan.

    [ What¡¯s going on?? Chen Xiaoguo is a happy fruit. She actually cried. How much grievance did she suffer? ]

    [ She was bullied by Xia Wanyuan. Didn¡¯t you see what the marketing ount wrote? ]

    { The person in front, you also know that it¡¯s a marketing ount. Isn¡¯t a marketing ount for doing things with money? It¡¯s not certain who was the bully. Our Yuan Yuan has money, looks, and resources. Bullying her? Is she worthy? ]

    Although the marketing ount said that Xia Wanyuan had bullied Chen Xiao Guo, this was a photo of the production team after all. No one was sure if they were filming.

    Furthermore, due to the image of marketing ounts spouting nonsense for a long time, no one especially believed it.

    However, when Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s fans saw that their idol was crying so sadly, they rushed into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan group indiscriminately. Because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan group was managed a little more rxingly,

    Ina moment of inattention, the fan group was upied by someone. They posted many dirty photos, which angered the management in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan group.

    Xia Wanyuan seriously filmed the missing scenes and did not pay attention to this.

    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s all for today. Wanyuan, you¡¯ve worked hard. Go back early.¡± Xia Wanyuan would only film twice at most before the scene was done. Director Wang Wei filmed smoothly, so he was especially generous to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Director.¡± Xia Wanyuan packed her things and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Wanyuan, someone is looking for you outside.¡± Tang Yin walked over.

    Xia Wanyuan carried her bag and walked out of the film studioplex. A clear figure at the door attracted the gazes of passers-by.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± A smile appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes when he saw Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan had a guess about Yu Qian and Wei Zimu¡¯s rtionship. Although she didn¡¯t like Yu Qian, she still had a good impression of Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Tm going out again soon. I thought it had been a while, so I came to see how you were.¡±

    ¡°Tm pretty good.¡± Xia Wanyuan sensed the concern in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. ¡°What about you?¡±

    Wei Zimu seemed to be especially surprised that Xia Wanyuan would take the initiative to care about him. He could not hide the smile on his face. ¡°I¡¯m quite good, Sister Wanyuan.¡±

    As Wei Zimu spoke, he handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°This is for you. I heard from the people over there that it¡¯s delicious.¡±

    Wei Zimu had been on a business trip in Suhang recently. The desserts there were famous for being exquisite. The most famous was the pastry from a hundred-year-old shop, but that shop only provided a hundred boxes a day.

    After hearing that, he especially woke up at five in the morning and queued for three hours. Then, he rushed to the airport and brought the dessert back with an ice pack the entire time.

    There was still some mist at the edge of the box. It was obvious that he had just taken it out of the ice bag.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the cold box. ¡°I remember hearing you say before why you brought snacks from all over the world.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Zimu nodded with gentleness in his eyes. ¡°In the past, when I was begging on the streets, there was a youngdy who would give me a little of her snacks every day. I promised her that when I had money in the future, I would help her collect delicious snacks in the world.¡±

    ¡°You said you didn¡¯t find her.¡± Seeing the emotions in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan lowered her eyes slightly and restrained the expression in them.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Wei Zimu replied softly.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped asking, and Wei Zimu stopped talking.

    ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± From afar, Xia Wanyuan had already seen the car that hade to pick her up.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Zimu smiled. ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip. Goodbye, Sister Wanyuan. I¡¯l bring you delicious food when Ie back next time.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked towards the Phantom with the box.

    Wei Zimu stood rooted to the ground and watched the Phantom gradually disappear into the distance. Only when it turned into a small dot did he tun around and walk to the convenience store beside him.

    ¡°Boss, thank you for helping me look after my luggage.¡± Wei Zimu smiled gently and handed the boss a hundred-dor bill, which made the boss thank him profusely.

    After receiving the luggage, Wei Zimu walked in the opposite direction.

    The owner of the convenience store looked at Wei Zimu¡¯s disappearing figure and clicked his tongue in wonder. ¡°Say, this young man is strange. He was afraid that the ice bag would not be able to keep it cold, so he sent the gift over the moment he got off the ne. If it were anyone else, they would

    definitely carry their luggage and im credit. This young man is good. It¡¯s as if he¡¯s afraid that others will be grateful to him.¡±

    ¡°Why do you care so much about him? Old man, why are you learning from others to gossip? Hurry and bring me a cloth!¡±

    Only then did the convenience store owner retract his gaze and send a rag to his wife with a smile.

    Not far away, Wei Zimu¡¯s tall figure became even more bleak under the setting sun.

    In the car, seeing that Jun Shiling was staring at the pastry in her hand, Xia Wanyuan pushed him in amusement. ¡°What kind of look is that? This was given to me by Wei Zimu. He bought it himself and brought it back. If I don¡¯t ept it, won¡¯t I be letting him down?¡±

    ¡°Of course I know that it was sent by Wei Zimu.¡± Jun Shiling stared at the box as if he wanted to bore a hole in it.

    After looking at the dessert box for a long time, Jun Shiling finally retracted his gaze and reached out to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come here, let me hug you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan also reached out her hand, but Jun Shiling stopped her with a look. ¡°Put that box aside. It¡¯s hurting me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put the box aside, not knowing whether tough or cry. Then, Jun Shiling hugged her.

    After returning to the manor, Jun Shiling surprisingly did not stick to Xia Wanyuan. Instead, he handed her a rare ancient book.

    ¡°Study this here. I¡¯m going to test youter.¡± Jun Shiling pulled out a stool in the study for Xia Wanyuan and pressed her down on the chair.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you ying at this time??¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that there must be a reason for the abnormality. Normally, when she was reading, Jun Shiling would insist on pestering her, but today, he was actually willing to let her be alone.

    ¡°Is there anything wrong with letting you study? Sit properly. There will be punishment if you fail the testter.¡± Speaking of punishment, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered for a moment as he looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully, causing her to re at him.

    ¡°Leave quickly.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead, then closed the study door.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through the book in her hand. It was really a rare good book. It immediately attracted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan was halfway through the door, it was still quiet. Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It had been two hours since Jun Shiling left.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. That was strange. What was Jun Shiling up to?

    Xia Wanyuan put down her book and followed the voice downstairs.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s actions from afar, Xia Wanyuan was surprised.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you doing?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 660: Jun: I Can¡¯t Hold the Toothbrush</h4>

    There were four or five dessert chefs standing in the kitchen. Jun Shiling was surrounded by them and was looking at the ingredients beside him seriously.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, Jun Shiling looked up. His hand was still stained with flour.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Wait for me in the living room first. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him suspiciously before returning to the living room.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling walked over with a small te of exquisite snacks.

    ¡°Try it.¡± Jun Shiling picked up a piece and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and bit it. It was neither sweet nor greasy, and it was fragrant and pleasant. It was the peach blossom crisp that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat very much.

    ¡°Why did you suddenly think of doing this?¡± Xia Wanyuan chewed twice and Jun Shiling handed her a cup of warm water. It diluted the sweetness and left a fragrant taste.

    ¡°know how to make desserts too.¡± Jun Shiling fiddled with the peach blossom pastry on his te as if he did not care. ¡°If you want to eat it, I¡¯ll make it for you. Don¡¯t eat what others bought, okay?¡±

    If one looked carefully, Jun Shiling looked calm, but the hand on his other leg was curled up slightly.

    He had never suspected that Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu would have anything, and he did not dare to throw away what Xia Wanyuan had brought back.

    However, at the thought that Xia Wanyuan would eat what Wei Zimu bought, his heart ached.

    He could learn how to cook dessert and rice.

    ¡®Whatever he did not know in the past, he was willing to learn, as long as Xia Wanyuan liked it

    His only request was that he did not want Xia Wanyuan to be associated with anyone.

    Once Jun Shiling said this, Xia Wanyuan could remember the bag of pastries she had brought back in the evening. She was about to say something when she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s hand fiddling with the dessert.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled his hand over to take a look. There were a few small blisters on the edge of his index finger. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were injured?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± It was just a little blister. Jun Shiling didn¡¯t think much of it.

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and forced him to return to the bedroom with her, carefully disinfecting him.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened as he watched Xia Wanyuan treat his wound seriously.

    ¡°Baby.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan gently applied the ointment on Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I know how to make dessert and I¡¯ll learn how to cook Sichuan dishes. I can learn how to make cake and ice cream.¡± Jun Shiling stopped talking. He knew that Xia Wanyuan could understand what he meant.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    After a while, after treating Jun Shiling¡¯s wound, Xia Wanyuan put his hand aside and looked up into his eyes.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think I told you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes overflowed with a fine smile.

    ¡°What?¡± Jun Shiling was attracted by her smile and asked subconsciously.

    ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to learn anything. I like you very much too. Even if others know everything, it has nothing to do with me.¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly clenched his fists, not even realizing that his wound was twitching.

    ¡°Really?¡± Jun Shiling stared intently into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and stood up. She took the initiative to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and sat in his arms.

    Jun Shiling reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. ¡°If not for the fact that you worked too hardst night, I wouldn¡¯t have let you sleep at all today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan punched Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Theers of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up as he whispered something in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, causing her to blush.

    ¡°Jun Shiling! You weren¡¯t like this in the past.¡±

    Jun Shiling blew at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s your fault that I became like this after meeting you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan struggled for a while. Realizing that she could not escape Jun Shiling¡¯s restraint, she gave up.

    ¡°Tm tired. Sleep. Don¡¯t do this anymore in the future.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you like to eat it?¡±

    ¡°But you¡¯re not a chef. You can just cook once in a while. My heart aches when you¡¯re injured.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s injury and sighed in her heart.

    Jun Shiling felt that even if the wound was ten times more serious, it was worth it to hear Xia Wanyuan say ¡°my heart aches¡±.

    ¡°Got it. Now, let me help Madam Jun wash up and sleep?¡± Jun Shiling stood up.

    In the bathroom, Jun Shiling had just reached out when Xia Wanyuan took the cup.

    ¡°Ljust applied ointment to your hand. You can¡¯t touch water. I¡¯ll do it myself,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she squeezed the toothpaste herself, brushed her teeth, and washed her face.

    ¡®When she was done, she realized that Jun Shiling had been standing by the side and watching her quietly.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°My hand is injured.¡± Jun Shiling raised his hand. ¡°I can¡¯t hold my toothbrush and cup anymore.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement, took his toothbrush, and squeezed the toothpaste on it. ¡°Ah ~ Open your mouth..¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling opened his mouth and sat on the chair.

    Xia Wanyuan took the toothbrush and helped Jun Shiling brush his teeth like she was taking care of Xiao Bao.

    Pfft.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenlyughed out loud.

    ¡°2¡± Jun Shiling looked confused.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re like a little kid now.¡± Just like Xiao Bao, he looked a little cute.

    ¡°Jun Shiling saw the teasing look in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. He didn¡¯t say anything, but he silently bit the toothbrush.

    Xia Wanyuan gently twitched twice. Realizing that Jun Shiling wasn¡¯t going to let go, she smiled helplessly. ¡°You¡¯re so childish.¡±

    Jun Shiling still refused to budge.

    ¡°If you¡¯re not going to let go, then brush your teeth yourself. Anyway, you injured your left hand, so you can brush your teeth yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan mercilessly exposed Jun Shiling¡¯s trick.

    ¡°..¡±Jun Shiling silently let go.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling and suddenly remembered something An Rao often said.

    Ha, man.

    Today, if Xia Wanyuan were to evaluate Jun Shiling, she would say that he was arrogant because he was favored.

    Jun Shiling insisted that Xia Huanyuan wash his face for him. Before he slept, he had to listen to Xia Huanyuan tell stories.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, are you three years old? Xiao Bao won¡¯t even let me tell him bedtime stories.¡± Xia Wanyuan heartlessly rejected Jun Shiling¡¯s request.

    Then, Jun Shiling reached out his scalded left hand and tucked Xia Wanyuan in.

    ¡°Til tell you, alright?¡± Xia Wanyuanpromised.

    A good night¡¯s sleep.

    The next morning, when Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, she saw Jun Shiling sitting on the bed in his pajamas. Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan instantly had a bad feeling.

    ¡°Sigh, my hand is injured and I can¡¯t wear clothes anymore.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his eyes.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan nced at the wound on Jun Shiling¡¯s left hand, which was less than half a centimeter long. I shouldn¡¯t have been so worried yesterday.

    Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to get up to get Jun Shiling some clothes.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes were all white shirts and ck trousers. Xia Wanyuan quickly returned with a set of clothes.

    ¡®When she unbuttoned his pajamas, she touched Jun Shiling¡¯s muscr upper body. Xia Wanyuan felt her face heat up.

    She helped Jun Shiling put on his shirt and buttoned it up one by one.

    Although Jun Shiling had not spoken, the atmosphere between them had almost evaporated Xia Wanyuan.

    After putting on his top, Xia Wanyuan felt that if she stayed any longer, she would not have to go to the filming site this morning. She threw the trousers beside Jun Shiling. ¡°Wear it yourself!¡±

    Then, Xia Wanyuan left the bedroom. Jun Shiling smiled, took the clothes and put them on himself.

    By the time he came downstairs, Xia Wanyuan was already waiting for him at the dining table.

    ¡°Do you have something on the day after tomorrow?¡± Jun Shiling sat on a chair and peeled an egg for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°There¡¯s no ss at school. I have filming. Why?¡±

    ¡°Ineed a day off. There¡¯s a very important personing over that day. Stay with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to the set.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan entered the film studio, she felt that everyone was looking at her strangely.

    She walked all the way to the lounge. Although the staff did not speak much, Xia Wanyuan could feel the me in their gazes.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re here?¡± Tang Yin was looking at her phone. ¡°As expected, that Chen Xiaoguo isn¡¯t a pushover. The moment she pretended to be pitiful, her team sent out a statement of you bullying her.

    Moreover, what was even more infuriating was that Chen Xiaoguo had liked the Weibo post posted by the marketing ount this morning and pushed you directly onto the hot search.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the phone and saw that Chen Xiaoguo had recently posted a Weibo post.

    @ Chen Xiaoguo: ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I just woke up this morning and I¡¯m still a little dazed. My hand slipped. Senior Xia has been very good to me and took very good care of me. Please stop making wild guesses.¡±

    JThements below were all pitying Chen Xiaoguo and criticizing Xia Wan Yuan.

    ¡°Is everything ready?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a few casual nces before closing her phone.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s ready. I can publish it now.¡± Tang Yin was about to contact the public rtions department.

    ¡°No need. Post it tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Alright, T¡¯l listen to you.¡± Although she did not know Xia Wanyuan¡¯s intentions, Tang Yin knew that listening to Xia Wanyuan was definitely not wrong.

    After Xia Wanyuan was done with her makeup, she went out and met Chen Xiaoguo, who had been waiting at the door for who knew how long.

    ¡°Senior Xia, I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. My hand really slipped. You can hit me or scold me, but I¡¯ve caused you trouble.¡± Chen Xiaoguo could not help but bend over to apologize to Xia Wanyuan, apologizing profusely.

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything. She just stood there quietly, watching as Chen Xiaoguo bent down to apologize to her..

    Chen Xiaoguo thought that Xia Wanyuan would immediately stop her apology.

    After all, there were so many people in the production team watching, but she did not expect Xia Wanyuan to remain unmoved even after she had bent over more than ten times.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s waist was aching. She couldn¡¯t take it anymore and stood up. ¡°Senior Xia, are you not going to forgive me?¡±

    ¡°If I don¡¯t forgive you, what will you do?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s frosty gaze made Chen Xiaoguo feel a little guilty.

    ¡°Senior, if you don¡¯t forgive me, I¡¯ll kneel in this production team and wait for your forgiveness.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not y by the book. Chen Xiaoguo was not prepared at all.

    ¡°Kneel? You¡¯ve acted in too many period dramas?¡± Theers of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°But it¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t mind.¡± With that said, she left the spot and walked towards the filming location.

    Chen Xiaoguo stared nkly at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, clearly not expecting her answer.

    ¡°Guoguo what are you doing? Why are you looking for her again? Do you think she hasn¡¯t bullied you enough?¡± The actor in the same group saw that Chen Xiaoguo was rooted to the ground and walked over to hold her shoulders.

    ¡°Tm apologizing to Senior.¡± Chen Xiaoguo lowered her head at the right time, looking very sad. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. I¡¯m so clumsy. Do you know where to get knee pads in the film studio?¡±

    ¡°Knee pads? We¡¯re not filming a period drama, why do you need knee protection? The production team next door has it, I¡¯ll go borrow a pair for youter.¡±

    ¡°Senior Xia said that she will only forgive me if I kneel on the set. I don¡¯t want her to hate me.¡± Chen Xiaoguo was about to cry.

    ¡°E*ck, is she crazy? So what if she¡¯s the female lead? Guo Guo, can you not be so kind? Why are you letting her bully you like this?¡± The colleague couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and pulled Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s hand away.

    Chen Xiaoguo struggled a little and let her colleague pull her away.

    ¡®As Xia Wanyuan had expected, Chen Xiaoguo did not kneel the entire day. On the other hand, rumors of her forcing Chen Xiaoguo to kneel filled the entire production team.

    In Dark Night, there were many scenes of Snow Fox reminiscing about the past, including many fighting scenes.

    In the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan was going to film the scene of her entering a certain military zone, stealing secrets and fighting with the enemy.

    The staff dressed Xia Wanyuan in protective clothing, and then the machine began to move. Xia Wanyuan was lifted to the side of the city wall.

    Director Wang Wei called for the filming to begin, but realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements today were not smooth enough.

    After taking two shots, the suspended Xia Wanyuan gestured for them to stop.

    What¡¯s wrong, Wanyuan? Is there a problem?¡± Director Wang Wei gestured for the wire maniptor to put her down.

    The person controlling the wires was like a novice as he clumsily lowered Xia Wanyuan from mid-air.

    If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s good bnce, she would have been dizzy after being tossed up and down.

    ¡®When she was about tond on the ground, the wires were suddenly let go. Thankfully, Xia Wanyuan was prepared. Otherwise, if she were to fall like this, even if she did not break her leg, she would have sprained it.

    ¡°The master controlling the wires is probably not feeling well today, right? His hands are shaking?¡±

    ¡°Peng Bei, what¡¯s going on today? Didn¡¯t you do well in the past? Look at what you did just now. If anything happens to the actor, will you be responsible?¡±

    ¡°Director, I¡¯m not in a good state today. Let¡¯s do it again. I¡¯m sorry.¡± The young man called Peng Bei apologized to Wang Wei and Xia Wanyuan in a panic.

    ¡°Alright, you have to control your strength and not let anything happen again.¡± Since Peng Bei had done well in the past, Wang Wei believed that Peng Bei might not be in good condition today.

    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry.¡± Peng Bei nodded heavily, then looked at Xia Huanyuan.. ¡°Miss Xia, can we do it again?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Peng Bei. Her memory had always been good. She remembered that when she first joined the crew, this boy would always blush whenever he spoke to Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡°No need,¡± Xia Wanyuan finally said. ¡°Let someone else do it.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, you probably don¡¯t know much about people doing the wires. It¡¯s very hard to suddenly find people in the studio.¡±

    After all, this required professional operations. However, the sry was low and there were no specialized training schools. It was already very good that the production team could find one.

    ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and waved at Tang Yin. ¡°Help me keep an eye on that machine. Just don¡¯t let me fall.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Yin nodded. ¡°Be careful.¡±

    ¡°Eh, Director? What does this Miss Xia mean? This is a professional operation, isn¡¯t she just messing around?¡± He thought that Xia Wanyuan wouldpromise, but Xia Wanyuan directly let her manager go up. Peng Bei panicked.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you can¡¯t joke about this. Does your manager know how to manipte this?¡± Director Wang Wei was worried that something would happen to Xia Wan Yuan.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, Director. Just film it. It¡¯s fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan appeared very confident.

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Director Wang Wei returned to his seat. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±

    This was a scene of Snow Fox escaping from a six-meter high wall with a w.

    Tang Yin controlled the thread that protected Xia Wanyuan to follow her closely.

    Xia Wanyuan threw her hand two meters away, straightened the rope, and jumped up.

    Initially, she needed to borrow the power of the wires to hang herself up. However, Tang Yin could not control that power, so Xia Wanyuanpletely abandoned the wire stunt power and climbed up by herself.

    Because it waspletely relying on Xia Wanyuan¡¯ss strength, the entire scene was even more forceful. Director Wang Wei was almost going crazy with joy. ¡°Quick, quick, quick!! Let¡¯s close up!!¡±

    The 90-degree vertical wall was not easy to climb. Besides a handhold, there was no other ce tond except for some small cracks in the wall.

    Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to keep throwing the w up and climbing. Sweat soaked her forehead, and the entire scene was filled with a sharp sense of beauty.

    Finally climbing up the city wall, the filming process became much easier. Xia Wanyuan held the wall with both hands and slipped down.

    ¡°Good! Wanyuan! You¡¯ve worked hard!¡± Director Wang Wei could not help but p for her. It was not that he did not film any action scenes before.

    Even the stand-in masters hired from Shaolin Monastery had not done what Xia Wanyuan had done, so smoothly and beautifully.

    ¡°Thank you for your praise, director.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and took the towel from Tang Yin to wipe her sweat.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s end today¡¯s filming here. I thought this scene would take a long time, so let¡¯s go back earlier.¡± Wang Wei kindly opened the back door for Xia Huanyuan.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not stand on ceremony and returned to the lounge to remove her makeup.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Director Wang Wei became the serious and nitpicking devil director again. ¡°Look at what you¡¯re shooting! If you were half as good as Xia Wanyuan, you wouldn¡¯t have to shoot more at night.¡±

    The others wanted to refute, but when they thought about how Xia Wanyuan had passed such a difficult scene in one go, they couldn¡¯t even find a reason to refute.

    Comparisons were odious.

    Initially, Peng Bei thought that Xia Wanyuan was just trying to show off. He didn¡¯t expect that this person could actually climb up such a high building without the help of the wires.

    He thought of Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s smile every time she gave him fruits.

    No, Xia Wanyuan was a very dangerous person. I had to tell Chen Xiaoguo to stay away from her lest she bullied her.

    Xia Wanyuan went to the lounge to get her bag and left the set.

    That night, news of Xia Wanyuan asking Chen Xiaoguo to kneel down and apologize to her spread throughout Weibo.

    This was within Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expectations. As a result, she only took a few nces at Weibo and stopped paying attention to this matter.

    She lowered her head to look at her hand. What worried Xia Wanyuan was that.

    How was I going to get past Jun Shiling?

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had her head lowered when she heard the servants at the door.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly put her hands behind her back and smiled at Jun Shiling, who had just entered. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    Jun Shiling loosened his tie and did not answer Xia Wanyuan. Instead, he went straight upstairs. Not long after, he came down with a box.

    ¡°Show me your hand.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hesitantly extended her hand.

    ¡®There was a ring red mark on her palm, and there were some minor abrasions on her fingers.

    Originally, with the help of the wires, Wan Yuan could have easily finished filming that scene.

    However, when Peng Bei controlled the wires, it made Xia Wanyuan very ufortable. In order to grasp the bnce, she could only pull the rope tightly.

    In the end, she didn¡¯t use the wires anymore. She relied on her own strength to climb up the city tower. With the strength of a hand, she hung herself on the city wall. She had to use extra strength.

    Her hand, which was already used to living like a princess, had deep marks on it after filming this scene.

    Seeing therge red mark on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze darkened. ¡°I¡¯ll get Shen Xiu toe over.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Knowing that she had done something wrong, Xia Wanyuan was now very obedient.

    ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± Jun Shiling asked in a low voice.

    ¡°Lwant to eat roast duck and Sichuan cuisine.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling wasn¡¯t angry with her, Xia Wanyuan became bolder and tried to eat Sichuan cuisine.

    Jun Shiling had been controlling her and not letting her eat for a long time.

    ¡°alright.¡± Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling agreed.

    Soon, Shen Xiu came over to bandage Xia Huanyuan¡¯s wound.

    ¡°Tl be fine as long as you don¡¯t touch water. It looks more serious, mainly because of superficial injuries. I¡¯ve applied some medicine and will be fine in a few days. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Shen Xiu.

    ¡°Tm fine. I still have a surgery to perform. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Knowing that the number of light bulbs was toorge, Shen Xiu left after treating her.

    Jun Shiling took out a watermelon from the fridge and fed it to Xia Wanyuan bit by bit with a spoon.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, why aren¡¯t you angry with me today?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a look at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, it was ugly.

    However, his actions were still very gentle and he did not seem to be angry with her.

    ¡°It was someone else who bullied you. I know.¡± Jun Shiling put the watermelon aside and hugged Xia Wanyuan to his chest. Then he picked up the watermelon and fed it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Tve let you suffer.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wan Yuan on the cheek. ¡°You think I¡¯m still angry with you when others bully you. Am I that fierce?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t suffer any grievances.¡± Xia Wanyuan was usually emotionless towards irrelevant people.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this.¡± Jun Shiling put down the watermelon. ¡°T¡¯ll go watch TV with you for a while. There¡¯ll be your favorite food soon.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s embrace.

    At the same time, Peng Bei was chewing Areca and fighting with the enemies in the game.

    The doorbell rang.

    ¡®When the battle was at its peak, Peng Bei pretended not to hear the knock on the door.

    However, the doorbell kept ringing. In the end, it stopped ringing and footsteps could be heard.

    Peng Bei was shocked. He quickly went out to take a look and saw thendlord.

    ¡°Aiyo, Uncle Liu, it¡¯s you. You scared me. Why did youe to my ce sote at night?¡±

    ¡°Peng Bei, you didn¡¯t pay your rent this month, nor did you pay your utility bills.¡±

    ¡°Uncle Liu, follow the old rules. I will definitely hand it over next month. It will be the same as before. I am a little tight on cash this month.¡± Peng Bei chewed some Areca and waved his hand at thendlord indifferently.

    He had not finished his game.

    ¡°No, ever since you lived here, there have been peopleining that you yed games at night and caused a hugemotion. Now that you¡¯re not paying the rent, you have to move out immediately.¡± Uncle Liu was very firm.

    ¡°Now? Uncle Liu, are you joking with me? Didn¡¯t we get to postpone renting before? Why can¡¯t we do it today?¡± Peng Bei frowned.

    ¡°Anyway, I¡¯lle to collect the house in the morning. You have to move everything.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, I¡¯m not leaving. What can you do to me?¡± Peng Bei spat out his Areca and looked at thendlord arrogantly.

    He had always been part of the underground world He was not from the capital. He hadmitted a crime in his hometown and was bought out by his parents. He could not stay in his hometown any longer, so he came to the capital. In the past, he had set up towers hanging at construction sites, so he

    could pick up the wire stunt technique rather quickly.

    After a period of peace and quiet, because of the rent today, the ruthlessness in him was triggered again.

    Uncle Liu looked at his fierce gaze but did not panic. ¡°If you don¡¯t move, someone will help you.¡±

    As soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, he pped his hands. Seven to eight burly men walked in and started packing up without a word.

    ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯m going to call the police!¡±

    However, no one was willing to respond to him.

    Seeing that the situation was not right, Peng Bei wanted to escape through the door, but he was pulled in by the bodyguards who were already prepared. The sound of punches and kicks could be heard from inside the house, mixed with Peng Bei¡¯s pleas for mercy.

    Uncle Liu closed the door and touched the thick cash in his pocket.

    After sending away a scourge, I even earned so much money for nothing. I really made a profit, I can buy a pork trotter to add to my meal tonight.

    Not long after, the bodyguards carried a few sacks downstairs and threw them into the truck.

    One of the sacks let out a muffled groan, but it was quickly drowned out by the mor of the city.

    The truck drove towards a small town in the south.

    A few years ago, there was an extremely horrible robbery in this town. Later, the criminal escaped and the police could not find him even after several years..

    They had never expected that the person who had disappeared for a long time would appear at the entrance of the police station.

    Other than the fact that his face was intact, there was not a single piece of skin on his body. His legs and feet seemed to have been broken by someone.

    It could not have been worse.

    Even the police officers who were used to seeing all kinds of murder cases felt a little scared when they saw this. How much hatred did this person have to beat him up like this?

    ording to the usual practice, criminals also enjoyed human rights and couldn¡¯t be treated like this.

    However, the local police officer shook his head as he held the teacup. ¡°Don¡¯t investigate who did it. Let the doctor examine it and nurse it for a few days. Prepare to send him to court.¡±

    Hence, the matter of who had beaten him to such a state was left unsettled.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was enjoying Jun Shiling¡¯s feeding.

    The soft and fragrant skin was wrapped with crispy roasted duck, together with sweet bean sauce and chopped green onions, cucumber shreds,

    She took a bite. There was the delicious taste of the duck meat, the freshness of the cucumber, and the fragrance of the wheat on the skin. It was a very sophisticated taste.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was eating happily, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were also smiling.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone suddenly rang.

    Jun Shiling nced at it.

    There was only one message on the screen.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡±

    After reading it, Jun Shiling deleted the message naturally.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked curiously.

    ¡°Lin Jing sent it,¡± Jun Shiling replied. He then wrapped another roast duck and fed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Have another one. I¡¯ve added an extra piece of duck skin for you. It¡¯s your favorite.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attention was immediately drawn away by the roast duck.

    Xia Wanyuan was eating roast duck and chatting with Jun Shiling.

    In the apartment, An Rao was eating potato chips and having a passionate conversation with theizens.

    An internal member of the film crew who imed that he could not stand Xia Wanyuan bullying Chen Xiaoguo posted a video.

    In the video, Chen Xiaoguo kept bowing and apologizing to Xia Wanyuan. From the video, it was at least fifteen times. Xia Wanyuan stood in front of her, her face cold.

    ¡°And this isn¡¯t the worst part. Let me tell you, Chen Xiaoguo is already in this state, yet Xia Wanyuan still told her that unless she kneels and apologizes, she will never forgive her.¡±

    The most poprment was from Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s fans.

    (F*ck, what the hell is Xia Wanyuan? Is she bullying our Guo Guo for not having fans?

    An Rao directly replied to thisment. ¡°Xia Wanyuan is your father, bullying you fans for being blind and liking a white lotus who pretends to be pitiful!¡±

    The second most poprment.

    [That¡¯s too much. It¡¯s just a slip of the hand. Besides, Xia Wanyuan bullied Chen Xiaoguo in the first ce. What she liked was the truth.]

    An Rao replied, ¡°I just scolded you. Don¡¯t take it to heart. Which eye of yours saw Xia Wanyuan bullying Chen Xiaoguo? What¡¯s wrong? Are you the piece ofnd under their feet? Or are you the rubbish bin beside them?? Did you see it with your own eyes??¡±

    Initially, everyone was still eating Xia Wanyuan and Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s melon, but when they saw An Rao¡¯s stance, they were all shocked. For a moment, they forgot to criticize Xia Wanyuan.

    No one had expected An Rao to suddenly appear.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans: F*ck, Sister An is awesome! She is indeed our Yuan Yuan¡¯s most loyal sister!

    An Rao¡¯s fans: It¡¯s so tiring to like a fearless idol, the kind that will appear in the headlines any minute. Sigh, what should I do? I can only follow in my idol¡¯s footsteps and help Xia Wanyuan.

    The manager looked at thements on An Rao¡¯s Weibo and started to prepare the tools and ces to hang himself. Ever since he had started following An Rao, he felt that his heart rate was violently fluctuating between 0-240 and 0. Sooner orter, it would be o..

    The more An Rao read theseizens¡¯ments, the angrier she got. She started crunching the potato chips in her mouth loudly.

    ¡°This is so infuriating! Are theseizens blind? Yuan Yuan is such a good person, and that so-called pretentious b * tch is so pretentious.¡±

    There were more and morements from theizens. An Rao threw the potato chips to the side and continued her passionate match with theizens.

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯re a firecracker. You explode once you¡¯re lit.¡± Bo Xiao, who was reading at the side, did not know whether tough or cry as he took An Rao¡¯s phone away.

    ¡°You¡¯re the firecracker!¡± An Rao reached out to snatch the phone, but Bo Xiao kept dodging and struggling. An Rao pounced on Bo Xiao.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t even see how bad thements of thoseizens were. That person looked like a white lotus. Only you dog men can¡¯t tell who is bitchy. You still think she¡¯s really pitiful.¡± An Rao rolled her eyes.

    ¡°.. You can talk all you want, but don¡¯t drag me in.¡± Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s hair helplessly. ¡°Get up, don¡¯t stick to me.¡±

    ¡°What? Boyfriend? Can¡¯t I lie on you?¡± An Rao was about to get up, but when she heard Bo Xiao¡¯s words, she was unhappy and decided to use her hands and feet to cling onto him.

    Bo Xiao was angered by An Rao. He suddenly flipped over and pressed An Rao down. His fox-like eyes, which were usually curved, were now filled with lust.

    ¡°If you lean on me a little longer, I can¡¯t guarantee I¡¯ll be able to hold back.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Get up,¡± An Rao said as she pushed Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao was also afraid that something would happen, so he sat up with An Rao¡¯s strength.

    ¡°You men think about this every day.¡± An Rao snorted.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Bo Xiao sat a distance away from An Rao. ¡°If other women take it off, I won¡¯t even take a nce at them.¡±

    ¡°Who would believe that?¡± An Rao looked suspiciously at Bo Xiao. ¡°You men just can¡¯t resist the sluts and b*tches. You can¡¯t even tell them apart. It¡¯s just like that Guo. Half of thoseizens who scold Xia Wanyuan are men!¡±

    ¡°.. You can be pissed at them, but don¡¯t drag me in.¡± Bo Xiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.

    ¡°Just you wait.¡± An Rao suddenly remembered the B*tch Language Test she had seen on Weibo yesterday.

    An Rao took out the test and waved at Bo Xiao. ¡°Let me ask you a few questions.¡±

    ¡°Sure, go ahead.¡±

    ¡°What would you do if a pretty girl said that she was thirsty and had no money to buy water and asked if you could share some with her?¡± An Rao asked Bo Xiao seriously.

    Bo Xiao had wanted to say that he would not give another woman a sip of water even if he threw it away.

    But seeing An Rao¡¯s serious expression when she asked the question, Bo Xiao had a bad idea.

    ¡°Thirsty? Let¡¯s see if she¡¯s willing to drink my bottle. If not, I¡¯l buy her another bottle.¡± Seeing An Rao¡¯s clenched fists, Bo Xiao almost couldn¡¯t hold back hisughter and coughed to cover it up.

    ¡°Second question, if a woman were to tell you (you¡¯re too nice to your girlfriend, right? She lost her temper at you and you still remember to buy food for her), how would you answer?¡±

    Bo Xiao thought, ¡°What are you farting about? You don¡¯t know how good my girlfriend¡¯s temper is.¡±

    However, the words changed when they came out of his mouth, and he said, ¡°Then what if I don¡¯t bring food? Her temper is so bad. If I don¡¯t bring food, she¡¯ll make a bigger fuss when I go back.¡± After saying that, Bo Xiao felt that the matter wasn¡¯t serious enough and added, ¡°Your temper is still the best.

    It¡¯ll be great if my girlfriend is half as gentle as you..¡±

    Seeing An Rao¡¯s angry look, Bo Xiao could not help butugh. ¡°Hahahahahaha.¡±

    Seeing Bo Xiao¡¯s triumphant look, An Rao understood that Bo Xiao was teasing her again.

    ¡°Annoying. You don¡¯t know how to make me happy at all! You only know how to make me angry.¡± An Rao stood up and prepared to leave angrily.

    Bo Xiao was quick to pull An Rao back.

    ¡®Who knows if you¡¯re joking or telling the truth. I think you¡¯re the type that will be seduced by a b*tch.¡± An Rao was still very angry that Bo Xiao had deliberately lied to her.

    ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense again. This is for you.¡± Bo Xiao took out a card from his pocket and ced it in An Rao¡¯s hand.

    ¡°What is it?¡± An Rao took it and saw that it was a bank card.

    ¡°You just want to anger me to death!¡± An Rao could not hold it in anymore and pounced on Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao then caught her firmly. His clear voice was maic as he whispered into An Rao¡¯s ear, ¡°Wifey.¡±

    ¡®An Rao was instantly pressed on the pause button and her entire body turned red.

    Bo Xiao chuckled and covered her lips.

    On Weibo, thements An Rao made against theizens were quickly pushed to the top of the search rankings.

    Just as everyone was criticizing Xia Wanyuan and An Rao for bullying others,

    Director Wang Wei, who had not posted on Weibo for a long time, heard about this matter from somewhere. He immediately tagged Xia Wanyuan on Weibo. Director Wang Wei had a high status and was especially direct when he spoke.

    @ WangWei: ¡°@ Xia Wanyuan, this actress is very intelligent and polite. Netizens, don¡¯t listen to others.¡±

    [You¡¯re a big director, so she must be very polite in front of you. Our Guo Guo is just a small actress, so of course she¡¯s being bullied.]

    [Although Xia Wanyuan is the female lead, she shouldn¡¯t be so unfair. Our Guo Guo isn¡¯t the female lead,but how can she be bullied because of that?)

    Even though Wang Wei hade out to speak, the fans still believed that Xia Wanyuan was merely putting on an act in front of Wang Wei.

    Director Wang Wei was furious when he saw thesements. He did not continue posting on Weibo after his wife stopped him.

    Not long after Director Wang Wei made his stand, the production team of The Long Bad and Moon As Frost also came out to make their stand.

    @ The Long Bad: ¡°Xia Wanyuan is a very polite person.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about it?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that drinking more milk is good for my health? Maybe I can grow taller?¡±

    ¡°Your height is enough.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wan Yuan interlocked their fingers. ¡°This height is just right. Didn¡¯t we try it before?¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Xia Wanyuan immediately understood what Jun Shiling was implying. Her cheeks flushed red. ¡°You hooligan!¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and swallowed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    After the kiss, Jun Shiling stuffed Xia Wanyuan under the nket and said hoarsely, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower. You sleep first. I¡¯lle over soon.¡±

    ¡®They had already had a rough night yesterday. No matter how much Jun Shiling wanted it, he could not disregard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health.

    However, the ¡°fast¡± that Jun Shiling mentioned took an hour.

    ¡®When Jun Shiling returned, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were still open. The milk on the table had already been drained.

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Alright, go to sleep.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± She had originally forced herself to wait for Jun Shiling. Now that he had arrived, Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling nted a kiss on her forehead and fell asleep.

    At five o¡¯clock the next morning, the Weibo trending topic blew up. Theizens who were still under the covers were awoken by all kinds of news.

    ¡®Wan Shi Studio directly tagged Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡°Since you want to apologize, then apologize for these things as well.¡±

    Below the text were a few video links and nine photos. They were clear and organized, with words and audio. It satisfied theizens¡¯ desire to watch a show.

    Everyone clicked on it to take a look. A few videos were the CCTV footages of the production team, while the pictures were chat records.

    In the video, the door to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lounge was originally locked. Chen Xiaoguo specially called for the staff to open the door, then had the staff carry the chair to a crowded ce before she carried it over.

    If this could be exined by fans, it could be said that Chen Xiaoguo was only especially concerned about Xia Wanyuan, so on impulse, she opened the door to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lounge.

    However, the chat history could not be erased.

    These chat records were taken by Lin Jing and given to Tang Yin. They were all taken from Peng Bei¡¯s phone.

    In the records, Chen Xiaoguo had revealed to Peng Bei how Xia Wanyuan had bullied him. Peng Bei had always been a vain person. When he saw Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s tear-stained face, he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.

    ¡°Tl help you teach her a lesson!¡±

    In the recording, Chen Xiaoguo said, ¡°Don¡¯t, Brother Peng. I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s already hard enough for you to control the wies. You don¡¯t have time to think about this. Don¡¯t distract yourself. It won¡¯t be good if something happens to the actor. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll get used to it.¡±

    It was fine if she did not speak, but Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s words reminded Peng Bei.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll make sure she suffers when I do the wire stunt technique tomorrow.¡±

    Chen Xiaoguo stopped him symbolically and did not say anything else.

    ¡®Tang Yin attached the photo of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injured hand to the photo and specifically stated that she had been strained to such an extent because of an inappropriate suspension.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s male fans were still doubting the authenticity of the videos and chat records.

    Many femaleizens had already exploded because of Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s b*tchy act..

    [What¡¯s wrong with this chat? Didn¡¯t Guo Guo also advise Peng Bei not to stand up for her?]

    [I¡¯ve read your information. You¡¯re indeed a man. I¡¯m speechless. Can¡¯t you see through this kind of b*tch or are you pretending?]

    {Wow, this white lotus aura is blinding me. I¡¯m speechless.]

    As they had helped Chen Xiaoguo scold Xia Wan Yuan too harshly a few days ago,izens now felt guilty and felt that they had let Xia Wanyuan down twice. As a result, they hated Chen Xiaoguo even more.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s managementpany immediately contacted Tang Yin and the rest to delete their posts.

    ¡°Let me tell you, your chat records aren¡¯t reliable at all. If you don¡¯t apologize to our Chen Xiaoguo, you can wait for awsuit.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Tang Yin did not panic at all. She even finished a peach on the phone.

    Seeing that Tang Yin and the rest were not cooperating, Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s managementpany hung up angrily.

    Then, they posted a rification post.

    ¡°Ourpany will file awsuit against Star Creation Entertainment. Star Creation Entertainment has damaged ourpany¡¯s artistes¡¯ reputation with their fake chat records.¡±

    [Right, sue them. That chat history is obviously fake. How could they fool so many people? I¡¯m speechless.]

    [Boohoo, you guys have to protect Guoguo. Don¡¯t let her get bullied.]

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s fans, who had been criticized by all sides, finally found their backbone. They gathered on Weibo to warm up.

    ¡®Tang Yin called Xia Wanyuan and wanted to upload Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s information online, but Xia Wanyuan stopped her.

    ¡°Send it to the agency first.¡± Xia Wanyuan eventually gave Chen Xiaoguo a chance.

    One of the main reasons why Xia Wanyuan could tolerate Chen Xiaoguo these days was Director Wang Wei.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s acting skills could only be said to be passable. Compared to the other old actors in the production team, there was a world of difference.

    However, she was able to suppress so many people in the entertainment industry and get the role of the second female lead in Director Wang Wei¡¯s debut show. She did not believe that there was no power behind this.

    She was not afraid of offending anyone, but Director Wang Wei was her benefactor. For Director Wang Wei¡¯s sake, she did not choose to force Chen Xiaoguo into a corner.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Yin listened to Xia Huanyuan and immediately sent apressed file to Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s managementpany.

    The otherpany¡¯s face turned green after reading the contents of thepressed file.

    Not long after, Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s official Weibo posted an apology.

    @ Chen Xiaoguo: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Xia. I¡¯ll apologize to you. I was blinded by greed and was jealous that you were the same age as me, yet it was you who acted as the female lead, so I pretended to be pitiful and wanted to tarnish your image. I swear to the public that I will never do such a thing again. I

    have realized my mistake. I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Once Chen Xiaoguo posted this Weibo post, thepany¡¯s statement about suing Xia Wanyuan was deleted.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s fans were stunned by the announcement. At first, they wondered if Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s ount had been hacked. But after waiting for more than half an hour, the official tform did not release any new statements. Only then did they believe that Chen Xiaoguo had posted it herself.

    [It¡¯s okay, baby. It¡¯s good to know you¡¯re wrong. We¡¯ll always be your strongest backing. Love you.]

    [Everyone makes mistakes, but many people don¡¯t even know how to repent. Our Guoguo is much better than those people. Come on, we¡¯ll grow up with you.]

    [It¡¯s disgusting to see fans criticizing her. She instigated others to hurt Xia Wanyuan, yet she was forgiven with just an apology. Are you Xia Wanyuan? What right do you have to forgive her?]

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, not long after Chen Xiaoguo posted on Weibo, Director Wang Wei called.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I don¡¯t have the face to say this, but Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s aunt and I have been ssmates for many years. This matter is Xiaoguo¡¯s fault. Thank you for letting her off.¡±

    Director Wang Wei was also a shrewd person. How could he not see that Xia Wanyuan definitely had more evidence that she did not post? Otherwise, Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s managementpany would not let the matter rest so easily.

    And the reason Xia Wanyuan had chosen to let Chen Xiaoguo off wasrgely because of him.

    ¡°Director, you should know my personality. I can do it the first time, but if there¡¯s a next time, I won¡¯t go easy on her.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I promise you that I will educate her well.¡± Director Wang Wei vowed.

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan took a bite of her bun.

    She did not think that Chen Xiaoguo could change. It would just be her changing from legitimately to secretly.

    However, the next time she did something wrong, Director Wang Wei as her lifesaving talisman would be useless.

    Xia Wanyuan was deep in thought, unconsciously eating the food Jun Shiling handed her.

    Suddenly biting on something soft, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to take a look and hurriedly spat out Jun Shiling¡¯s finger. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you remind me?¡±

    ¡°What are you thinking about? You¡¯re so engrossed in your thoughts. I¡¯m just passing you a bun, and you still bit me.¡± Jun Shiling retracted his hand, his heart fluttering from the sensation of Xia Wanyuan biting him.

    ¡°Peng Bei has disappeared.¡± Xia Wanyuan had not seen this person on set for the past few days. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°You did this?¡±

    ¡°Lsent him to where he should be.¡± Jun Shiling took a ss of milk. ¡°Come back early tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    To everyone¡¯s surprise in the production team,

    Everyone thought that Chen Xiaoguo would definitely take a few days off after such a huge incident. However, they did not expect Chen Xiaoguo toe to the production team so early.

    As soon as she entered, Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s tears fell like a string of broken pearls.

    She constantly apologized to everyone, saying that she had been blinded by greed and that she had only done this because she was too envious of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aplishments.

    ¡°Please forgive me. I was really confused for a moment. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I just feel that Senior Xia¡¯s acting skills are so good at such a young age and she can even be the female lead. I¡¯m so envious that I couldn¡¯t think straight.¡±

    In the eyes of the public, Chen Xiaoguo had always been a little sun who loved to smile. She had a good rtionship with everyone and was the happy fruit of the production team. But now, her face was haggard, as if she had suffered a huge blow. Her tears flowed down her entire face.

    Initially, everyone thought that Chen Xiaoguo was a scheming person. However, seeing how she apologized to everyone so calmly and cried so heartbreakingly, it seemed like she really knew that she was in the wrong.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry, Guo Guo. You¡¯re still young. Young people will always take the wrong path.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Guo Guo, it¡¯s fine. We don¡¯t me you. Just focus on filming from now on.¡±

    ¡°If it were me, I would definitely be envious and jealous of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s achievements. Guo Guo, don¡¯t worry, I understand.¡±

    Seeing that Chen Xiaoguo was crying, everyoneforted her.

    In the distance, Director Wang Wei, who was adjusting the machine, was silent for a moment when he saw this scene. Then, he sighed, his eyes filled with disappointment towards Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡®When Xia Wanyuan entered the set, she saw a group of people surrounding Chen Xiaoguo. Chen Xiaoguo was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that she was being bullied.

    ¡°Senior Xia!¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately ran over.

    ¡°Stop right there.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words stopped Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡°Tm sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Chen Xiaoguo cried until she was out of breath and looked extremely remorseful. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m not asking for your forgiveness. I just want to apologize to you.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was as cold as ever, a staff member stepped forward to plead for her.

    ¡°Miss Xia, Guo Guo knows she was wrong. Please forgive her.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, yeah. Kids, right? Who doesn¡¯t make mistakes?¡±

    ¡°Where did you go wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan interrupted everyone¡¯s chatter.

    Chen Xiaoguo clenched her fists and kept crying.

    ¡°Your fault for letting someone open the door to my lounge without my permission? Or was it to pretend to be pitiful and find someone from the team to set me up for bullying you? Or was it to hint at someone else to break my wires?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice rang out as she listed Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s crimes

    one by one.

    Those who had been blinded by Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s tears only realized that Chen Xiaoguo had indeed gone overboard after hearing Xia Huanyuan count Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Senior Xia¡­¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯te near me. Apart from filming,¡± Xia Wanyuan cut Chen Xiaoguo off. ¡°I don¡¯t want to waste time talking to people like you, understand? Take care.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan then left, leaving Chen Xiaoguo sobbing even harder.

    Her words in the morning were still useful. Chen Xiaoguo did not approach her for the entire day.

    Furthermore, when Xia Wanyuan said those words in the morning, her aura was so strong that even the staff did not dare to provoke her.

    She had promised Jun Shiling that she would return early. At around four in the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan had finished filming all her scenes for the day. After greeting Director Wang Wei, she left.

    ¡®When she arrived at the manor, Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling were already waiting for her at the door. Xiao Bao was carrying a dolphin suitcase.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a bit puzzled.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Mommy.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were curved as he held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked towards the car.

    After they boarded the Jun family¡¯s ne and drove for two to three hours, Xia Wanyuan did not manage to get anything out of Jun Shiling. Where are we going?

    With Jun Shiling by his side, even on the ne, Xiao Bao did not dare to y with his toys for too long. He obediently practiced his foreignnguage.

    Xia Wanyuan had never interfered much with Jun Shiling¡¯s strictness.

    After all, she had already started studying at this age.

    In her previous life, her zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were renowned throughout the world, and she was known as the number one pearl of the Great Xia Dynasty. This title did note out of nowhere. No matter how great of an honor she had to bear, she also had to carry a lot of hard work

    behind her back.

    Three hourster, the nended and a car drove them to the beach.

    They had no idea how long they had been on the ferry. In the distance, in the middle of the blue water,

    A colorful ind appeared before their eyes..

    The weather today was very good. The blue sky and the ocean formed a straight line. Although it was summer, the ind was located at the edge of the middletitude sea. The warm sea climate allowed it to maintain a pleasant temperature all year round.

    Froma distance, the ind looked small, but it took the ship a long time to reach it. The closer they got, the more they realized that the ind was actually huge.

    There were more than two thousand acres ofnd on the ind, and it was filled with roses.

    It was different from the roses that filled the manorst time. The roses on the ind were in full bloom and covered the green leaves, overwhelming the entire ind.

    ¡°Wow, it¡¯s so beautiful!!¡± This was Xiao Bao¡¯s first time here. When he saw the sea of flowers, he ran forward excitedly.

    ¡°Here?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise.

    She liked roses called pink lovers. They were beautiful in color and didn¡¯t have any smell. She didn¡¯t like flowers with overly strong fragrance.

    These two thousand acres of flowers were all pink lovers. When did they start nting them?

    ¡°I started preparing three months ago.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked into the ind.

    Three months ago, this was the first time he and Xia Wanyuan had gone out alone. On that mountaintop, he saw that Xia Wanyuan liked pink roses so much. The next day, he had Lin Jing book an entire manor of roses for her.

    Other than that, he also got someone to buy this ind and transported rose seedlings from all over the world. After being specially nurtured for nearly three months, he finally managed to make all the roses bloom at this time.

    In the middle of the endless sea of flowers was a transparent vi. The servants were lined up at the door, waiting for Jun Shiling and the rest.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling dragged Xia Wanyuan to bed. It was only eight in the evening.

    ¡°Tm not tired.¡± Xia Wanyuan usually did not sleep at this time.

    ¡°Sleep for a while. If you¡¯re not tired, are you thinking of doing something else?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully.

    ¡°Tm sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan immediately closed her eyes.

    Jun Shiling smiled and gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. After coaxing her to sleep, he slowly removed his arm from her neck and left the bedroom quietly.

    Outside the door, Xiao Bao was leaning against the wall. Jun Shiling put his index finger between his lips and Xiao Bao immediately softened his movements. He carefully pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and went downstairs.

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not feel sleepy, she was still exhausted from the long journey. She slept until almost twelve.

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously rolled to the side, but she could not hug Jun Shiling. She fumbled to turn on themp beside her, but there was no sign of Jun Shiling on the bed.

    At this moment, the door opened and Jun Shiling walked in. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±

    ¡°Where have you been?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not answer Xia Huanyuan. He took out a knitted jacket from the wardrobe and put it on Xia Wanyuan before pulling her out.

    The entire room was dark and it was pitch ck outside. Xia Wanyuan subconsciously gripped Jun Shiling¡¯s hand tightly.

    Afraid that she would fall, Jun Shiling carried her down the stairs.

    It was dark outside the vi, but after walking for a while, her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. Now, she could see the stars in the sky.

    ¡°Close your eyes first. I¡¯l let you open themter.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes. Jun Shiling carried her forward.

    After some time, Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on a stool.

    ¡°Mommy, open your eyes.¡± Xia Wanyuan threw herself into a vani-scented embrace. She opened her eyes and saw Xiao Bao¡¯s grape-like eyes.

    ¡°Look!¡± Xiao Bao pointed upwards.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and discovered that they were in a transparent ss room.

    Meanwhile, the entire ind was blooming with fireworks.

    Huge fireworks shot into the sky from all directions on the ind, sparkling and dazzling everywhere.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at it for a while. An envelope was stuffed into her hand.

    ¡°Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes sparkled. ¡°Happy birthday! I love you the most. This is a gift I prepared for you. You have to look at it secretly. You can¡¯t let Daddy see it.¡±

    As Xiao Bao spoke, he stole a nce at Jun Shiling. When he saw Jun Shiling¡¯s dark face, he immediately hid beside Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Birthday?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly remembered that today was August 9th. It was indeed my birthday. I had been too busy recently and had forgotten about it. No wonder Jun Shiling had brought me here today.

    ¡°Yes, Mommy, you¡¯re so stupid.¡± Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, his eyes full of attachment.

    utting the envelope away, Xia Wanyuan kissed Xiao Bao on the cheek. ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bao.¡±

    After being kissed by Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao blinked his eyes in embarrassment. Ignoring Jun Shiling¡¯s warning gaze, he pointed at his right cheek. ¡°Mommy, my right cheek wants one too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and nted a kiss on his right cheek. Xiao Bao was ted.

    Before Xiao Bao could push his luck and climb onto Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp, Jun Shiling pulled him aside.

    Seeing Jun Shiling holding Xiao Bao in the air again, Xia Wanyuan gave Jun Shiling a reproachful look. ¡°Be gentle, don¡¯t drop him.¡±

    ¡°He won¡¯t fall. He has thick skin,¡± Jun Shiling said nonchntly.

    Xiao Bao looked down at his fair and tender arms and was very unconvinced. ¡°How am I thick-skinned!¡±

    However, Xiao Bao¡¯s protest was ignored by Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling handed Xia Wanyuan a jewelry box.

    Xia Wanyuan took it. Insidey a pair of shiny rings. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to take the ring out, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Jun Shiling took the jewelry box and took out a smaller ring, carefully putting it on Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took the other one and helped Jun Shiling put it on his ring finger.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. The diamond on the ring reflected a brilliant light.

    ¡°Happy birthday.¡± Jun Shiling pointed at his watch.

    The clock and the needle on it coincided and pointed to 12.

    Xiao Bao also came over and put his little hand between them. ¡°Mommy, I love you.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling didn¡¯t say anything, his eyes said everything.

    ¡°Blow out the candles.¡± Jun Shiling opened the cake box on the table. There were 22 candles on the cake.

    The fireworks outside kept blooming.

    In the ss room, the three of them enjoyed the sweet cake peacefully. They could not hear anything through the ss, but the warmth around them continued to overflow, and the stars in the sky seemed to be brighter because of them.

    At this time in China, just as the sun rose, the door to Xiu Yi was kicked open.

    ¡°Where¡¯s your boss? Get out here!¡±

    ¡°Where is she?!¡± Thendlord walked in angrily. At this time, there was no one in the shop. There were only two employees who came especially early.

    ¡°Mrs. Liu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing that it was thendlord, the employee who had stood up to check on the situation sat back down.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Qin Shuang? Call her over.¡± Thendlord did not want to waste his breath on the employees.

    ¡°The manager will be here soon. Please wait for a while,¡± the employee said slowly.

    The interior decoration of Xiu Yi had already been dismantled, and there was not even a chair in the room. The more thendlord looked at the ce, the angrier he became. However, the two employees had no intention of responding to her.

    About half an hourter, Qin Shuang finally entered the shop. ¡°Oh my, who is this? So it¡¯s Mrs. Liu. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling. Why are you standing here?¡±

    ¡°Qin Shuang, don¡¯t give me that. Let me ask you, what do you mean by tearing down this house?¡± Thendlord pointed at the debris in the house and was furious.

    A few days ago, when she came over, the ce was still decorated in gold and jade. From the outside, it was filled with flowers and nts.

    However, when she drove past here yesterday, she almost didn¡¯t recognize that this was Xiu Yi.

    ¡®The antique eaves outside the house were all removed and painted into a white wall.

    Originally, there were two small ponds at the entrance of the shop. Lotus flowers were nted there, and there were several koi fish inside. From the entrance to the house, there were flowers everywhere. Furthermore, Xiu Yi was especially generous, as the tables and chairs inside were made of solid

    wood.

    But now?

    The pond was filled. The flowers were gone. The clothes had been emptied. There was nothing else in the room but the white walls.

    ¡°Mrs. Liu, wepletely followed the contract. Retum it as it was.¡± As Qin Shuang spoke, she threw a stack of photos in front of thendlord.

    ¡°Please do aparison check. How it looked like when we took over this shop, how it looks like when we¡¯re returning to you now, what is the difference? Please point it out and we will change it immediately.¡±

    ¡®Thendlord gripped the picture in front of her tightly. Xiu Yi had taken the original appearance of the room when they rented it.

    It was indeed the same as before.

    Thendlord held her anger in check, but there was nothing she could say to refute it. ¡°Serves you right that you¡¯ll have to rent the trash house across the street. Bah,¡± thendlord spat. She tossed the picture to the floor and left.

    ¡°Mrs. Liu.¡± Qin Shuang stopped her.

    Thendlord paused. ¡°What else do you want?¡±

    ¡°Ljust saw the photo and remembered. Back then, this house of yours had two different lines for the electricity and water, aspared to themercial district next to it, so everyone found it troublesome and they didn¡¯t rent it. After we rented it, we changed the route.¡±

    Upon hearing Qin Shuang say this, thendlord frowned. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    ¡°Nothing? We¡¯re just returning it to its original appearance. Don¡¯t worry. Before we leave, we¡¯ll definitely get the route back for you. Take care.¡± Qin Shuang smiled and waved at thendlord.

    Thendlord felt her heart skip a beat. Just as she was about to argue with Qin Shuang, the security guards surrounded her and thendlord could only leave angrily.

    ¡°Manager, you¡¯ve vented your anger!¡± Seeing thendlord leave angrily, the employees finally felt relieved.

    ¡®The building that Xiu Yi was in now was a hotmodity in everyone¡¯s eyes, but this was not the case when Xiu Yi had just been rented.

    Because this building was not connected to the water and electricity circuits in themercial district, the water and electricity charges in this building were extremely expensive and could be doubled every year.

    After Xiu Yi rented it, she used Jun Shiling¡¯s connections to forcefully connect the lines, which made the building even more valuable.

    However, not long after they opened the shop, thendlord went back on her word. The employees were all feeling indignant in their hearts. Now that they saw thendlord suffer, everyone was extremely happy.

    ¡°Manager, where are we moving to?¡± Xiu Yi had a good working environment and the employees were treated very well. Everyone was reluctant to leave.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The new shop is already being renovated. We¡¯ll treat it as a holiday for everyone these few days. When the new shop is done renovating, we¡¯ll move in.¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Knowing that they would not be fired, everyone was relieved.

    ¡°Miss, Young Master has been very well-behaved these few days. He did not do anything out of the ordinary.¡± The bodyguard ced a pile of documents in front of Shi Tian. All the details recorded what Liu Xingchuan did every day and who he met.

    ¡°Got it. Continue to follow him.¡± Shi Tian¡¯s hand, which was covered in bright red nail polish, casually flipped through the documents.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The bodyguard left.

    After looking through Liu Xingchuan¡¯s schedule, Shi Tian found another one. This one belonged to Tang Yin.

    Seeing Tang Yin busy herself with Xia Wanyuan almost every day, Shi Tian¡¯s red lips curled up.

    ¡°You want to return to being a top manager? Dream on.¡±

    At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡± Shi Tian put away the documents on the table.

    ¡°Aunt!¡± A round face poked in.

    ¡°Guo Guo.¡± Shi Tian smiled when she saw Chen Xiaoguo, or rather, her niece, Shi Xiaoguo.

    ¡°Aunt, I miss you. Daddy asked you if you want to have dinner at our house today.¡± Chen Xiaoguo pushed the door open and entered with an affectionate expression on her face.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Shi Tian stood up and pulled Chen Xiao Guo¡¯s arm. ¡°How was filming? Did Director Wang Wei take care of you?¡±

    ¡°Not bad. Everyone¡¯s doing well. It¡¯s just that Xia Wanyuan. She doesn¡¯t listen to me at all. No matter what I say, she¡¯ll treat me like I don¡¯t exist.¡± Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, Chen Xiaoguo recalled how Xia Wanyuan had embarrassed her in public.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Shi Tian patted Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s hand. ¡°Aunt will help you.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Xiaoguo held onto Shi Tian¡¯s arm tightly, her eyes shining with sess.

    Shi Tian nced at her niece. When she thought of how Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin had humiliated her, the hatred in her eyes almost solidified.

    Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan, both of you have to pay the price for what happened back then.

    ¡®The two of them walked to the door and were about to leave when they bumped into Liu Xingchuan who was walking in.

    ¡°Uncle,¡± Chen Xiaoguo called out.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Liu Xingchuan answered and walked into the house with a bouquet of flowers.

    ¡°Stop.¡± Shi Tian called out to Liu Xingchuan. ¡°Throw these flowers away before entering the house.¡±

    Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that Tang Yin, that b * tch, loved gardenias the most. Why did he pick it to up to long for her?

    Liu Xingchuan ignored her and walked straight into the house. Shi Tian snatched the flowers from Liu Xingchuan¡¯s hands and threw them on the floor.

    ¡°How can you bring whatever you want into the house.¡± Shi Tian stomped on the gardenia a few times and pulled Chen Xiaoguo away. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Behind her, Liu Xingchuan held the flower bud tightly in his hand. The green leaf juice had stained his hand, but he did not notice it at all.

    Early in the morning on the ind, Xia Wanyuan was awakened by the gentle breeze by the sea.

    ¡®The weather was as good as ever. On the transparent roof, one could seerge clouds and blue sky the moment they opened their eyes. They turned their heads slightly, and the sea of roses nearby surged towards them.

    Xia Wanyuan got up and went downstairs. There were no other servants in the house. Jun Shiling brought out a bowl of longevity noodles from the kitchen.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake? Come, eat this noodle in one bite.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xiao Bao?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around.

    ¡°He yed so crazilyst night and didn¡¯t get up. Let him continue sleeping. Let¡¯s eat first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the chopsticks and picked up one end of the noodles. Halfway through, she stopped eating.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it not delicious?¡±

    ¡°You can have the other half.¡± Xia Wanyuan passed the chopsticks to Jun Shiling.

    Regardless of whether I live long or not, Lam willing to share my life with you..

    Jun Shiling was stunned for a moment, and his eyes darkened. He took the chopsticks and quickly finished half the bowl of noodles.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan had just opened her mouth when Jun Shiling came over and shut her up.

    ¡°Daddy! Are you bullying mommy?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s teeth had just been knocked open when Xiao Bao¡¯s doubtful voice came from upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly pushed Jun Shiling away and turned around to see Xiao Bao in his teddy bear pajamas walking down the stairs.

    un Shiling pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Bao, who was running over in a hurry. His expression was very bad, and there was a nameless anger in his heart.

    ¡°Mommy, did daddy bully you? I¡¯l help you hit him!¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan with concem, his big eyes sparkling.

    ¡°No, are you hungry? Come and eat,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she picked up a custard bun from the table and handed it to Xiao Bao.

    But Xiao Bao was not tempted by the food. Instead, he ran to Jun Shiling, ¡°Daddy, if you bully Mommy again, I¡¯m going to hit you.¡±

    Mommy¡¯s mouth was swollen. I could see it all. Bad Daddy.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t eat properly, I¡¯ll get someone to send you back to the country in ten minutes.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s face was cold as he carried Xiao Bao to the chair and sat him down.

    Xiao Bao twisted his body symbolically. Under Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, he became obedient.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan yed with Xiao Bao on the beach for a long time.

    From the time he went to Fujian with Xia Wanyuan a long time ago, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan loved the sea and the beach.

    ¡°We¡¯ll be going back in the afternoon. When we have time in the future, wellle over to y.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were full of smiles as he watched Xia Wanyuan having fun.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan buried her feet in the sand. The moist sand felt cool, causing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes to sparkle.

    ¡°You like this ce so much?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    It was not only because the scenery here was beautiful, but also because everything here was done by Jun Shiling ording to her preferences. She could feel herself being treasured.

    ¡°This summer will be over soon. Next summer, we will transform the manor into a beach. At that time, you will feel like you are at the beach every day.¡± Jun Shiling looked like a fatuous ruler.

    ¡± ¡°Xia Wan¡¯an was stunned by this baseless idea. She smiled helplessly. ¡°Jun Shiling, if you were in ancient times, would you be like King You of Zhou and King Yuan of Shang?¡±

    ¡°Do I treat you well?¡± Jun Shiling reached out to hold Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet that had been moving in the sand. Her white feet against the sand made him feel hot.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Then don¡¯t eat what others bought for you. Don¡¯t use what others gave you, okay?¡± Jun Shiling was still brooding over the pastries.

    ¡°Why are you so jealous?¡± Xia Wanyuan grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and kicked him lightly.

    There was a lot of sand on Jun Shiling¡¯s white shirt.

    ¡°Can you do it?¡± Jun Shiling nced at his dirty clothes and simply held both of her feet.

    ¡°What can you do to me if I don¡¯t:

    ¡®As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished her sentence, she felt an itch on her feet. Xia Wanyuan was very ticklish, and when Jun Shiling scratched her lightly, she immediatelyughed and rolled into a ball.

    Seeing how Xia Wanyuan was smiling with tears in her eyes, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. His hand that was holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle gradually moved up.

    ¡®The temperature between the two gradually rose.

    ¡°Mommy! I caught a crab!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s cute voice floated over from the sea breeze.

    Today, Xiao Bao, who was dressed in a crab suit, was holding a huge crab that was baring its fangs and brandishing its ws. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem harmonious.

    Xia Wanyuan shook off Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and got up to y with Xiao Bao.

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have brought this brat along.

    The blue sky, the white clouds, the sunny beach¡­ How many things could have happened between me and Xia Wanyuan? Just thinking about it made my heart sway. Just because of this brat, everything had been ruined.

    Not far away, Xiao Bao was still unaware of the tragic life he was about to experience. He was foolishly showing off his spoils of war to Xia Wanyuan.

    After lunch on the ind, Jun Shiling left the ce with them.

    ¡®The moment the nended, Xia Wanyuan received Chen Yun¡¯s call.

    ¡°Wanyuan, do you want to make a trip to the studio? I think Tang Yin¡¯s mood is not quite right.¡± Chen Yun secretly called Xia Wanyuan outside the office while carefully observing Tang Yin¡¯s situation not far away.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up and asked Jun Shiling to send her to the studio.

    ¡®Tang Yin obviously didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan toe over. She, who was still in a daze, quickly stood up.

    ¡°Did Chen Yun say something to you? You don¡¯t have to bother with him. I¡¯m just in a bad mood.¡± Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were red as she spoke.

    ¡°Did you see Liu Xingchuan again?¡± Xia Wanyuan guessed when she saw Tang Yin¡¯s expression.

    ¡®Tang Yin did not deny it.

    An hour ago, she passed by the Imperial Capital Park. It was the time when the flowers bloomed. She was attracted by the fragrance of the flowers and went to the garden to admire the flowers. However, she did not expect to meet Liu Xingchuan, who was picking flowers.

    She turned to leave, but Liu Xingchuan stopped her and even gave Tang Yin the bouquet of flowers in his hands.

    At that time, Tang Yin threw the flowers on the ground and left resolutely. However, no one knew that her heart was pierced by a knife.

    ¡®Tang Yin brewed a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan and pulled her to sit on the sofa. ¡°My family is poor. I dropped out of middle school and came to Beijing. The day I met Liu Xingchuan, he was a top student at the Beijing Film Academy. I was a handyman on the production team.

    ¡°That day, the production team was filming at the Film Academy, in their garden. That year, the gardenia flowers bloomed very well.¡± At this point, Tang Yin paused and looked at the two gardenia flowers on the table, her eyes filled with a sad smile.

    ¡°We fell in love at first sight, but it was only for half a year. Their family went bankrupt and he never recovered.

    ¡°At that time, I had already started being a manager. He was my first artiste. Do you know how a rural woman without any background managed to promote a defeated person to the position of Best Actor?¡±

    ¡®As Tang Yin spoke, tears rolled in her eyes. Those years were too bitter.

    ¡°But those hardships were actually nothing. Later on, he became the Best Actor and I gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. I thought that we would have a smooth-sailing future.

    ¡°The night he proposed to me, I, who usually don¡¯t even touch alcohol, drank a lot of wine. When I woke up the next day, I was lying beside him.¡±

    At this point, Tang Yin paused for a moment. Her fingernails dug deep into her palms. ¡°Lying on the bed was a man I didn¡¯t know. He and Shi Tian opened the door just like that, held hands, and then told me that he was going to marry Shi Tian.¡±

    Even after so long, when she recalled the scene back then, Tang Yin still felt as if someone was choking her and she could not breathe.

    She had never told anyone about this.

    Back then, for the sake of Liu Xingchuan¡¯s poprity, very few people knew about their rtionship.

    ¡®When she left the entertainment industry five years ago, everyone thought that she had stepped into Shi Tian and Liu Xingchuan¡¯s rtionship and left because she had failed.

    However, no one knew that she was the woman who had apanied Liu Xingchuan through all the difficulties, sent him to the highest point, and stayed by his side.

    Xia Wanyuan had already guessed what had happened to Tang Yin. After listening to Tang Yin¡¯s story, it was not much different from what she had expected.

    ¡°He¡¯s not worth it.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted the back of Tang Yin¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I know.¡± Tang Yin nodded. However, that man was the man she had loved with all her youth. Even though she had lost all hope in him, her heart still ached at the thought of him.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that any words offort at this moment were powerless. She did not know how Tang Yin had managed to endure all these years.

    ¡°Tl give you a few days off. Go out for a walk and change your mood,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she transferred a sum of money to Tang Yin. ¡°Buy whatever you want. If it¡¯s not enough, ask me for reimbursement.¡±

    Tears welled up in Tang Yin¡¯s eyes when she saw the notification.

    She once thought that meeting Liu Xingchuan was the luckiest thing in her life.

    It was onlyter that she found out it was not when she had met Xia Wanyuan.

    After leaving the studio, Xia Wanyuan asked Director Li Heng for Yan Ci¡¯s phone number.

    Yan Ci, who had just finished filming amercial, was resting on a chair when his manager brought his phone over.

    ¡°Yan Ci, your phone is ringing. Answer it.¡±

    JYan Ci took a look. It was an unknown number.

    ¡°Spam call,¡± Yan Ci said and hung up.

    But the phone rang again. Yan Ci answered the call.

    ¡°Yan Ci, 1am Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Yan Ci dropped his fan..

    ¡°Wanyuan, why did you call me?¡± Yan Ci did not bother with the fan on the floor. It had been a long time since he had contacted Xia Wan Yuan. He did not expect her to take the initiative to call him.

    ¡°I wanted to ask if you have Fu Li¡¯s contact number?¡±

    Pa, the deer in Yan Ci¡¯s heart fell to its death.

    ¡°Yup. I¡¯ll send it to you.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± ¡°No need.¡±

    After hanging up, Yan Ci sent Fu Li¡¯s contact details to Xia Wanyuan. Seeing Yan Ci¡¯s dejected expression, the manager couldn¡¯t help but tease him.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Have you fallen out of love?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yan Ci was listless.

    ¡°What the f*ck?!¡± The manager gulped down the water in shock and almost choked to death. ¡°Ancestor, don¡¯t scare me. When did you start dating?!¡±

    ¡°One-sided love.¡± Yan Ci rolled his eyes at his manager. ¡°Why are you panicking?¡±

    ¡°..¡± The manager¡¯s heart started beating again, but when he recovered, he was a little curious. What kind of woman could make Yan Ci fall in love?

    After obtaining Fu Li¡¯s contact information, she gave him a call.

    ¡°Hello.¡± It was a clean and steady voice.

    ¡°Best Actor Fu, do you have time toe out for a cup of tea?¡± Fu Li was about to decline when the other party added, ¡°I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Li agreed.

    ¡®When he arrived at the ce Xia Wanyuan had mentioned, Fu Li pushed open the door and entered. A pair of ssy eyes looked towards him.

    ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Although Fu Li was already in his thirties, he was still handsome and tall. The years had left behind a resolute look on his body, but it didn¡¯t leave any traces on his face.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan gestured for Fu Li to sit down. ¡°Thank you for taking care of ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯.¡±

    No matter how much money ¡°Moon As Frost¡± offered, it was impossible to hire someone with such a high status like Yan Ci.

    Xia Wanyuan had been wondering why Yan Ci was acting in this movie. When she heard that Yan Ci and Fu Li were close brothers, she figured it out.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. Your script is very good, and your filming is also not bad. Yan Ci has praised you to me before. There aren¡¯t many people in the entertainment industry who can receive a word of praise from him.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan knew, Fu Li no longer hid it.

    Actually, Yan Ci had more than just praised Xia Wanyuan. He was full of praises for her.

    Fu Li looked seriously at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in front of him. She was elegant like an orchid, exquisite and clear.

    Initially, he thought that the saying ¡®beauty is in the eye of the beholder¡¯ applied to Yan Ci. But now, it seemed that even the praises from Yan Ci could notpare to the true person¡¯s gracefulness.

    ¡°Senior, I asked you out today mainly for one thing.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea. ¡°Do you like Tang Yin?¡±

    ¡°_.¡±Bu Li¡¯s hand paused. ¡°We¡¯ve been friends for years.¡±

    ¡°You like Tang Yin.¡± This time, Xia Wanyuan sounded very certain.

    Fu Li wanted to retort, but when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s frosty eyes, it was as if all pretense had lost its meaning.

    ¡°Miss, you¡¯re really very smart.¡± Fu Li smiled bitterly and finally admitted it. ¡°Why are you looking for me now? You want me to tell Tang Yin that I like her? I know her better than you do. If I take this step, I¡¯ll really lose her. I don¡¯t even have the right to be friends with her.¡±

    Tang Yin only remembered that the first day she met Liu Xingchuan was in the garden of the Film Academy. However, on that day, Liu Xingchuan¡¯s roommate, Fu Li, was standing by the garden as well.

    ¡®Tang Yin and Liu Xingchuan fell in love at first sight.

    No one knew that that arrogant smile had also fallen into Fu Li¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Do you know why they broke up back then?¡± Xia Wanyuan probed.

    Fu Li tightened his grip on the cup. Even someone as refined as him could not hide the pain in his eyes.

    ¡°It seems like you know.¡± Xia Wanyuan understood.

    Fu Li didn¡¯t even need to reply. The huge regret that seeped out from his body already exined everything.

    ¡°The night Liu Xingchuan proposed to Tang Yin, I was drunk. When I woke up the next day, I heard that they had broken up. I went to find Tang Yin happily, but she went missing and cut off all contact with us.¡±

    Fu Li had never told anyone about these things. Today, when he told Xia Wanyuan about it, he was shocked to realize that these things had been hidden in his heart for so long. When he brought them up, his heart still ached terribly.

    Before Xia Wanyuan asked Fu Li out, she had checked Fu Li¡¯s information.

    He clearly came from a wealthy family, yet he followed Tang Yin into the entertainment industry after graduation.

    Five years ago, after Tang Yin¡¯s incident, Fu Li and Liu Xingchuan broke up and left the country. This year, Tang Yin returned to the entertainment circle and Fu Li returned to China.

    ¡°Tang Yin is going on a vacation soon. This is her itinerary.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed a stack of documents to Fu Li.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Fu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion. ¡°She¡¯s such a proud person. She won¡¯t ept me. I just want to stay by her side. It doesn¡¯t matter even if we be friends forever.¡±

    ¡°alright, then I¡¯ll look for someone else. When the timees, you¡¯re wee to be her best man.¡± Xia Wanyuan retrieved the document and was about to leave when Fu Li stopped her.

    ¡°Give it to me.¡± Fu Li took the document over.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡± Then she got up and left.

    Fu Li watched Xia Wanyuan leave, sighing inwardly.

    It would be great if such a good girl could be together with Yan Ci.

    Xia Wanyuan had just walked out of the cafe when she received a call from thepany.

    Thepany had not contacted her in person for a long time. After Xia Wanyuan hung up, she drove to Star Creation Entertainment.

    From the moment she entered the office, she realized that thepany¡¯s executives were acting strangely.

    He was being overly polite. It could even be said that he was being careful.

    ¡°Miss Xia?¡± The management of thepany was still in a state of spection. He wasn¡¯t sure if Xia Wanyuan was truly the wife of the Jun Corporation, but his instincts told him that he had to treat her well.

    ¡®The manager chuckled. ¡°Tang Yin is on leave. There¡¯s an event that requires your personal opinion. If you¡¯re willing, we¡¯ll take it. If you¡¯re not, we won¡¯t take it.¡±

    ¡°What event?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s like this, didn¡¯t you do a live-stream on Weibost time? The live-stream effect is quite good. The tform wants to cooperate with us and see if you can do a live-stream on Weibo when you have time.¡±

    Initially, there was no need to ask the artist¡¯s opinion on such matters. Others could not figure out why the general manager would take such good care of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Do you have any requirements for the content?¡± Last time, the live broadcast was to advertise for potato chips. Now, she did not know what she had to do.

    ¡°No, just broadcast your daily life at home. You can eat or sleep.¡± The general manager suddenly thought of something and said mysteriously, ¡°It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t expose any privacy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan understood the meaning behind the general manager¡¯s words. She nced at him, still feeling a little puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about a daily-life broadcast?¡±

    ¡°The audience these days are very receptive to this. Don¡¯t worry, Weibo said that they will give you the corresponding promotion resources ording to the amount of traffic you provide.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I understand. Is there anything else?¡± Xia Wanyuan flipped through the contract in front of her and agreed.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing else. Let me send you out.¡± The general manager sent Xia Wanyuan out, and the others followed quickly.

    Hence, arge group of people appeared at the entrance of thepany.

    ¡®When the other artistes saw this, their eyes turned red.

    ¡°This Xia Wanyuan is really lucky. Not only did she get Director Wang Wei¡¯s female lead role, even thepany¡¯s executives treat her so well.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, what do you know? Xia Wanyuan has a financier behind her. Do you know that Xuan Sheng from Glory World Corporation?¡± The person who spoke looked disdainful. ¡°What kind of ability is cozying up to someone powerful?¡±

    ¡°Tsk tsk, this Xia Wanyuan looks so cold. I can¡¯t tell.¡±

    In these people¡¯s eyes, what Xia Wanyuan had obtained could not be obtained through normal means. Because they had never seen it and they could not do it, so they would not believe it.

    Surrounded by executives, she left Star Creation Entertainment. Xia Wanyuan looked at her phone. It was just past four in the afternoon.

    Having been abroad for a day, Xia Wanyuan could imagine that Jun Shiling must be quite busy right now, so she did not intend to disturb him at thepany.

    Xia Wanyuan drove around the city and inadvertently arrived at Tianfu Well.

    The familiar street view evoked her memories. Back then, she had just arrived in the modern world and this was the location where she went shopping for the first time.

    Xia Wanyuan saw that the autumn clothes were already being put on in the disy window by the side of the street. She parked her car and prepared to go in for a walk.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan had nevere into contact with modern autumn clothing. It was alreadyte spring when she arrived.

    She picked a few ces where there were fewer people and slowly strolled around. When she saw those exquisitely designed windbreakers and sweaters, Xia Wanyuan was impressed. These were much cleaner than the winter wear in her previous life.

    ¡°Young Master Lin, how is this? Does it look good?¡± A sweet voice came from the side.

    Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan had always been a calm person. If An Rao was here, she would definitely have goosebumps all over her body. She would have said, ¡°This person must have lowered his voice to speak.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to disturb the couple, but as she turned around, she heard a surprised voice. ¡°Miss Xia! What a coincidence.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned to nce at him, then walked out expressionlessly.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s departing figure, Lin Qi¡¯s face was filled with regret. Ever since Xia Yuanging¡¯s birthday banquet, he had never seen Xia Wanyuan again. Now that he finally saw her, she ran away.

    ¡°Ah Qi, what are you looking at?¡± A flirtatious woman in a red dress leaned on Lin Qi¡¯s shoulder and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was walking away. Displeasure shed across her eyes.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Young Master Lin¡¯s childhood sweetheart?¡± Among the friends who had apanied them here, there were those who had yed with Lin Qi since they were young and naturally knew Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Really, Ah Qi?¡± The expression of the woman beside Lin Qi changed instantly. ¡°I told you to look at my clothes, but you didn¡¯t. So you saw your childhood sweetheart.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan was pretty, she did not get his hands on her. The Wang Yuan in front of him was the daughter of the Wang family. Lin Qi was not stupid enough to offend her. ¡°At least we knew each other when we were young, I just saw her and greeted her.¡±

    Wang Yuan was no innocent school girl. She understood what Lin Qi was looking at Xia Wanyuan with, but she did not point it out.

    ¡°Alright, I was just joking. Look at how nervous you are. Didn¡¯t you say that you have a meetingter? Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then you guys y with Ah Yuan.¡± Lin Qi gave his friend a look, then patted Wang Yuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Tl leave first, you guys y.¡±

    After Lin Qi left, everyone apanied Wang Yuan around.

    ¡®When she saw a corner of a dress near the watch shop, Wang Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I want to give Ah Qi a watch. Let¡¯s go take a look.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about watches, She didn¡¯t like to wear these things, but Jun Shiling did wear watches frequently.

    ¡°This karat watch is a Rolls-Royce from the watch industry. Take a look at it. It¡¯s very suitable for sessful men to wear.¡± The staff knew that Xia Wanyuan was notcking in money when she saw the way she dressed, so she was very enthusiastic about her.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look at the watch, which was embedded with countless gems. She couldn¡¯t ept it.

    She did not think that Jun Shiling would like this style.

    ¡°Is there anything more simple? Exquisite but not overly gorgeous.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around and did not see anything particrly satisfying.

    ¡°Please wait a moment.¡± The store manager saw that Xia Wanyuan was unsatisfied with all of this, so he asked the staff to bring over the most precious watch in the store. ¡°Take a look at this HMC model. It¡¯s a mechanical watch, and it¡¯s done simply and generously. The numbers on the watch are all iid

    with diamonds, but it¡¯s not shy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and her eyes lit up. It was indeed not bad. She was about to ask the staff to bring it closer to take a look.

    ¡°Xiao Li, has your new product arrived? Why didn¡¯t you inform me?¡±

    At that moment, Wang Yuan was not speaking with a high-pitched voice at all. Xia Wanyuan could not tell that it was the woman beside Lin Qi. When she turned around, she realized that it was someone she had just met.

    ¡®When the store manager saw that the regr customer, the God of Fortune, had arrived, she hurriedly went forward to wee her. ¡°What wind blew you over today, Miss Wang?¡±

    ¡°Tcame here to take a look. Didn¡¯t I hear about an HMC? Let me take a look.¡±

    The manager looked at Xia Wanyuan with some difficulty.

    ¡°Manager, can¡¯t you tell who can afford this watch?¡± Before Wang Yuan could speak, her friend mocked her first. She looked at Xia Wanyuan with disdain. ¡°Can any Tom, Dick or Harry take a fancy to HMC?¡±

    The moment this person finished speaking critically,

    Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°I want this watch.¡±

    ¡®When Xia Wanyuan said this, the manager was ecstatic.

    This was an HMC! If he sold this watch, his performance in the past six months would be up to standard.

    Although he was happy in her heart, the manager still had to put on a troubled expression and looked at Wang Yuan. ¡°Miss Wang, I¡¯m really sorry.¡±

    ¡°Til add another two hundred thousand. This watch is mine.¡± Wang Yuan looked at the beautiful Xia Huanyuan, whose face was covered by a mask, and her desire to win was aroused.

    She had clearly seen the look in Lin Qi¡¯s eyes when he looked at Xia Wanyuan. At this moment, in Wang Yuan¡¯s heart, she had already considered Xia Wanyuan as her love rival.

    ¡°This?¡± The store manager was secretly pleased and looked at Xia Huanyuan awkwardly.

    ¡°Three hundred thousand.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised the price.

    ¡°Five hundred thousand,¡± Wang Yuan said calmly.

    ¡°One million.¡±

    ¡°Two million.¡±

    ¡°Ten million.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes carried a hint of urgency, as if she was determined to win or lose.

    ¡°Twelve million.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anxious look, Wang Yuan calmly increased the bid, waiting for Xia Wanyuan to continue.

    However, after waiting for a long time, Xia Wanyuan did not continue.

    ¡°Tdon¡¯t have any money. You win.¡± There was no longer any anxiety in Xia Wanyuan¡±s eyes. Instead, there was only coldness, as if this was how it should be.

    Only then did Wang Yuan realize that she had fallen into Xia Wanyuan¡¯ss trap.

    ¡°Ms. Wang, do you still want to buy this watch?¡± The manager was shocked. The war between women was too scary. The price of this watch was doubled.

    ¡°yes!¡± Wang Yuan clenched her fists tightly. If she said no in front of so many people, she would be humiliated.

    ¡°Alright. Please swipe your card.¡± The store manager¡¯s expression was neither sad nor happy, but the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up.

    Wang Yuan¡¯s family was also a reputable family in the capital. However, no matter how rich they were, the money was still managed by her parents.

    She felt the pinch when she bought the watch that was worth more than 20 million yuan. She swiped her credit card until it exploded.

    Wang Yuan looked at the bill hatefully and felt upset. Why did I fight so fiercely with that woman on impulse?

    Great, would definitely be scolded when I returned.

    By the time she came out after paying the bill, Xia Wanyuan had already left the watch shop. She could not find her even if she wanted to settle scores with her.

    After leaving the watch store, Xia Wanyuan went to an essory store. She saw red strings inside and remembered the video she saw yesterday. She asked the staff to bring her two.

    ¡®When Jun Shiling came to fetch Xia Wanyuan, he had just pulled her into his arms when something wrapped around his wrist. Jun Shiling raised his hand and saw that it was a beautiful red bracelet.

    ¡°You made it?¡± Jun Shiling took a closer look and saw some lines on the connecting point.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and stretched out her arm. There was also a red bracelet on her wrist. ¡°Does it look good?¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°It looks good. Of course it looks good.¡±

    At the same time, ina high-ss restaurant.

    ¡®Wang Yuan pushed the exquisite watch in front of Lin Qi. ¡°Qi, take a look. Do you like it?¡±

    Lin Qi took the watch and opened it. His eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°HMC, how beautiful. Yuanyuan, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    ¡°As long as you like it.¡± Wang Yuan smiled lovingly. She wanted to say something to Lin Qi, but she realized that Lin Qi¡¯s gaze was not on her at all. Following Lin Qi¡¯s gaze, Wang Yuan saw arge screen not far away, ying a video of Xia Wanyuan participating in the World Music Competition.

    Looking at the shiny watch on the table, Wang Yuan could not help but clench her fork and knife.

    However, Lin Qi, who was engrossed in watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, did not notice Wang Yuan¡¯s odd behavior at all.

    ¡®When they reached home, Xiao Bao saw the red string in Jun Shiling and Xia Wan Yuan¡¯s hands and immediately red up.

    ¡°Mommy, you don¡¯t love me anymore. You only love Daddy.¡± Little Treasure looked at the bracelet on Jun Shiling¡¯s wrist. It was so beautiful. Daddy had it, but I didn¡¯t.

    ¡°Who said so?¡± Seeing that Xiao Bao was about to cry, Xia Wanyuan quickly patted his head. ¡°T¡¯ll make one for you too.¡±

    1

    Xiao Bao finally stopped crying.

    After putting a red bracelet on Xiao Bao¡¯s little arm, Jun Shiling specially took a photo of three hands sped together and posted it on Weibo.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°My wife made red bracelets.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who had been silent all year round, suddenly woke up on Weibo and it instantly became popr.

    [Wow, President Jun is showing off his love again. I can really do this bowl of dog food for the richest man.]

    [Yes, yes. I almost finished my lemon garden. ]

    [CEO Jun, stop showing off. We all know you¡¯re a crazy wife show-off, okay?]

    Bo Xiao, who was slumped on the sofa, also saw Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo post. Looking at the beautiful bracelet in the photo, Bo Xiao pouted. ¡°An Rao, when can you make one for me? Look at Sister-inw, she¡¯s so smart.¡±

    Then Bo Xiao received three consecutive hits from An Rao.

    The next morning, just as dawn broke, Xia Wanyuan finished her breakfast under Jun Shiling¡¯s heavy breathing.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you about this a week ago? Why do you still have a sad face? Smile, President Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry.

    She had only gone to Han Country for a learning exchange and would be back in at most two days, yet Jun Shiling was angry again.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t two days a lot?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You lied to me when you said you liked me. You¡¯re going on a business trip for two days, but I can¡¯t tell what part of you is reluctant to part with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned over to kiss Jun Shiling helplessly. ¡°Tl be back in two days. I¡¯ll miss you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression eased a little. ¡°Come back early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After pacifying Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan finally ate her breakfast in peace.

    Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to the entrance of the Qing University. There were already cars sent by the school waiting there. Xia Wanyuan got into the car and, together with the other professors from the Qing University, embarked on the road to the Han Country.

    In the most prestigious university in the Han Country, the staff were busy hanging up weing signs while the teachers were busy preparing various research projects.

    Exchange was, to a certain extent, another way topete.

    China and Country Han didn¡¯t give in to each other on the stage of Continent Y, and it was the same in academia.

    Apanying Xia Wanyuan were a few older teachers. Everyone was rtively quiet on the road. Xia Wanyuan was also nestled in her seat, quietly reading.

    It only took three hours to fly from the capital to Country Han. Soon, the nended.

    On the ne, Xia Wanyuan had finished reading the basic geographical information about Country Han.

    This was a very modern country. As the area of the entire country was notrge, the people and cars on the streets were especially crowded.

    Hanchuan University specially sent a car to bring them to the school¡¯s hotel. In less than an hour, they arrived at the campus of Hanchuan University.

    Qing University was the top university in China. Hanchuan University used a very high standard to wee the teachers.

    Students dressed in traditional Han attire were singing and dancing on the square. The fountain at the entrance of the school formed a gorgeous rainbow under the sunlight.

    ¡°Wee to our school, professors of Qing University.¡± The vice-principal of Han Chuan University personally came to wee them.

    The professors alighted from the cars one by one. The students of Hanchuan University walked forward and presented the flowers to the professors.

    The vice-principal brought the flowers and shook hands with the professors.

    He was still counting in his heart. There were six professors now. When the other one came, he could bring people to the auditorium for a wee ceremony.

    However, the vice-principal did not see the seventh professor. Instead, a beautiful woman walked towards him.

    The vice-principal frowned. He didn¡¯t know if this woman was the Chinese professor¡¯s lover or daughter.

    Regardless of her identity, bringing her to such an asion was not giving Hanchuan University any face.

    The vice-principal was not the only one who thought so. The other teachers and students of Hanchuan University saw Xia Wanyuan mixing around with a bunch of professors. Their first reaction was that the Qing University did not care about Hanchuan University at all.

    Seeing the atmosphere freeze, the head of the Qing University Literature department walked over. ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Who is thisdy?¡± The vice-principal suppressed his anger and tried his best to look natural.

    ¡°This is our Qing University¡¯s professor of literature and arts, Xia Wanyuan. Didn¡¯t we report the name list?¡±

    ¡°This is your Professor Xia Wanyuan?¡± The vice-principal was stunned. He nced at the name list. There was indeed such a name, but his mind was filled with the image of a hale and hearty, white-haired olddy.

    However, the person before him had long flowing ck hair and an alluring appearance.

    The vice-principal took another careful look at Xia Wanyuan.

    Didn¡¯t they say that Han Country¡¯s stic surgery technology was the most advanced in the world?

    Could it be that China¡¯s beauty and medical technology had already surpassed that of Country Han?

    All these thoughts onlysted for a moment. The vice-principal quicklyposed himself and extended his hand to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wee, Professor Xia.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan extended her hand and shook it, then took the flowers from the student.

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s presence, this reception became inexplicably strange. The teachers and students of Hanchuan University apanied the students of Qing University to the auditorium. Along the way, everyone could not help but look at Xia Wanyuan.

    In the auditorium, the professors and students of Hanchuan, who had been waiting for a long time, apuded enthusiastically because of the arrival of the Qing University students.

    Everyone watched as the group walked towards the first row.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan was at the end of the line, she still attracted the attention of the whole crowd.

    Among the white-haired elders, Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a white shirt and had an exquisite appearance, was like a slender ink lotus, extremely eye-catching.

    Everyone was secretly envious of Qing University. Look at the looks of their entourage. With such a beauty apanying them, even the longest journey would be interesting.

    Everyone watched as the entourage followed the professors to the first row.

    When they saw her sit down, everyone thought that she was going to help. Unexpectedly, she never got up again.

    After the vice-principal of Hanchuan University finished his wee speech, it was time for the representative of the University of Qing to give a speech.

    ¡°Next, everyone wees the professor of literature and art from Qing University, Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    There was a round of apuse. Then, everyone saw the elegant woman stand up from her seat and walk to the podium.

    ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m very happy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood on stage to deliver her speech. Beside her, a Chinese trantor was doing a real-time trantion for those who did not understand Chinese.

    However, at this moment, what Xia Wanyuan said was no longer important. On stage, Xia Wanyuan was giving her speech in aposed manner. The lights shone on her body, and the confident beauty that seeped out from the depths of her heart was even more dazzling than the bright lights in the

    room.

    After the wee party ended, the vice-principal apanied the professors of the University of Qing for a while to watch the traditional singing and dancing performance of Country Han. Then, he arranged for everyone to rest at the hotel.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already prepared a hotel for everyone. Everyone, please conserve your energy. Don¡¯t forget to attend the exchange tonight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and the others returned to the hotel to rest. At the same time, news about Beautiful Qing Professor had already spread like wildfire in the inner circle of Hanchuan University.

    Soon, other universities in Hanchuan City also found out that there was an exceptionally beautiful professor among the students.

    Xia Wanyuan still did not know that she had be a celebrity at the university in Hanchuan City.

    Back at the hotel, she took a shower and looked at the time. It was exactly noon, so she called Jun Shiling.

    The call was picked up.

    ¡°Baby, I miss you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice seemed to beced with heat, and it burned Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wet hair, Jun Shiling frowned slightly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you dry your hair first?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan put her phone aside and dried her hair with the hairdryer. She then started chatting with Jun Shiling again.

    They had clearly parted ways in the morning, and she just took a flight and attended a wee party. However, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were chatting happily.

    ¡®When Jun Shiling looked at the time, one and a half hours had passed.

    ¡°Alright, stop chatting. Call me when you¡¯re back tonight. Go to sleep first. I¡¯ll wake you upter.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan still wanted to listen to Jun Shiling talk to her about the history of Hanchuan University. Seeing that Jun Shiling was chasing her to sleep, she felt like she hadn¡¯t had enough. ¡°You still say that I don¡¯t miss you. You clearly don¡¯t miss me. If you don¡¯t want to talk to me, then forget it. ¡®m

    hanging up.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    Looking at the ck screen, Jun Shiling smiled helplessly. She¡¯s getting more yful.

    Xia Wanyuan put her phone aside andy down on the bed, preparing to sleep. Then, her phone rang with a WeChat notification.

    Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it.

    The first one: ¡°I miss you so much.¡±

    The second message, ¡°Go to sleep, T¡¯ll wake you upter.¡±

    They were clearly cold words, but Xia Wanyuan could feel the heat.

    She reached out to poke at the keyboard before cing her phone on the table beside her. She pulled the nket over her and started to sleep.

    In the office, Jun Shiling looked at the emoticon of a cute cat sending love attacks. His eyes were filled with stars..

    5: 30 p.m.

    In the meeting room of the Jun Corporation, everyone was discussing heatedly. Jun Shiling nced at the time and made a stop sign. The meeting room instantly fell silent.

    Jun Shiling made a call. ¡°Hello.¡±

    Everyone secretly nced at Jun Shiling from the corner of their eyes. When they saw Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle expression, they sighed in their hearts. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The King of Hell also has such a day.

    ¡°Okay, get up. Contact me after tonight.¡± After the call, Jun Shiling looked at his subordinates who were sitting upright. ¡°Continue the meeting.¡±

    In the hotel, Xia Wanyuan was still a little dazed from being woken up by Jun Shiling. She subconsciously went to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, but found nothing.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan sober up a little.

    ¡°Oh no, I miss Jun Shiling a little.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the hand that was holding a ball of air and thought to herself.

    After packing up, Xia Wanyuan carried her bag to the academic reporting hall.

    Xia Wanyuan thought that there was no need to care about her celebrity status in Han, so she did not wear a mask.

    Hence, after walking around Han Chuan campus, she immediately caused traffic paralysis.

    Actually, unlike what she had expected, Hanchuan University also had many Chinese students studying abroad. Everyone gathered by the roadside and secretly took photos of Xia Wanyuan and sent them back to

    China.

    ¡°AHH!! Look who this is, is this the true existence of beauty? Don¡¯tin that the picture is blur.If you were here, you won¡¯t be able to hold your phone properly too.¡±

    {Damn, isn¡¯t this our Yuan Yuan? Why did Yuan Yuan go to Hanchuan University?]

    [The female celebrities in the country are really hyping up their poprity without a bottomline. They went to Hanchuan Middle School to gain poprity. I¡¯m afraid they don¡¯t have any ink in their stomachs?]

    [The one in front, did you just get released from jail, so you haven¡¯t been online? Xia Wanyuan is trying to ride on the poprity? She is a proper professor of two departments in Qing University. Maybe the Qing

    University sent her.]

    The fans and keyboard warriors who did not know the truth were arguing.

    The official Weibo ount of the Qing University released a post stating that the exchange team sent by the Qing University had safely arrived at Hanchuan University, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name was on the name list of

    this exchange team.

    Now, there was no need to rify why Xia Wanyuan would appear at Hanchuan University.

    On the campus of Hanchuan, Xia Wanyuan was halfway there when the campus security guard arrived to pick her up.

    ¡°Professor Xia, please cooperate with us. You should take the small car to the lecture hall.¡± The security officer took a close look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance and thought that it was normal for the campus to be so

    congested.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The security guards quickly sent Xia Wanyuan to the lecture hall.

    This was rted to themunication between the two countries¡¯ top universities. Some high-level officials were attending this report.

    As usual, it was the official and principal¡¯s opening speech before the formal academic exchange began.

    The two sides discussed the representative topics.

    The professors at the conference basically represented the highest standards in the industry. Both sides went back and forth, and no one lost.

    Among them, the most unexpected was naturally Xia Wanyuan from China.

    Many professors in Country Han thought that Xia Wanyuan was the weakest link in the Qing Consortium¡¯s exchange group. As a result, they asked her many questions right from the start.

    Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would be so fluent in her answers that she would quote the scriptures? Even when talking about Hanchuan University¡¯s research project, she would still be able to speak

    fluently. It could be seen that she was extremely knowledgeable.

    It was only then that everyone realized that this beautiful woman, who did not seem to be an academic, was not here for a gold-ted job. She was really talented.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan reach this level at the mere age of twenty, many of the people present were nervous.

    After all, China had been a civilized ancient country for such a long time. Its cultural heritage was really deep to be able to raise such an outstanding youth.

    The evening report mainly talked about structural problems. Itsted for about three hours.

    There was still a group meeting tomorrow. After the report ended, everyone went back to the hotel to rest and prepare for the battle tomorrow.

    Considering that Xia Wanyuan was the only girl, the professors apanied her to the door and watched her close it before returning to their rooms.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the door and took a few steps into the house. The table was filled with her favorite dishes and all sorts of pastries.

    The phone rang. Xia Wanyuan directly pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Are you hungry? Eat something. I¡¯ll get someone to take it away after you¡¯re done.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the pile in front of her and asked curiously, ¡°How did you get someone to send it in?¡± Isn¡¯t security very tight here?

    ¡°Your husband naturally has a way.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°There¡¯s someone outside the hotel to protect you. You don¡¯t have to be afraid at night. Forget it, you don¡¯t have to hang up the phone tonight. I¡¯ll apany

    you.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then sat down to eat.

    In the camera, Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten.

    It was elegant yet cute at the same time. In the middle of the night, his appetite was aroused.

    ¡°Baby.¡±

    ¡°Mm?¡± Xia Wanyuan was holding a piece of cake in her mouth as she answered hesitantly.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that thepany wants you to do a live-stream? You can do a live-stream and eat. You¡¯re very appetizing.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan paused in her actions.

    She didn¡¯t know whether Jun Shiling was mocking her or praising her in that moment. .

    Swallowing the cake in her mouth, Xia Wanyuan raised her head. ¡°You just finished eating.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Then watch me eat. You can eat more.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could speak again, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s interest was drawn away by the roast duck on the table.

    ¡°Delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. She ate a meal from Hanchuan in the afternoon and it did not suit her taste. Now, she had finally eaten something she liked.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was eating happily, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were also smiling.

    It was not in vain that he had asked Lin Jing to arrange a group of chefs to specially prepare food for Xia Wanyuan in Hanchuan.

    After eating and drinking to her heart¡¯s content, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.

    Due to time constraints, the exchange schedule was packed.

    From eight in the morning onwards, Xia Wanyuan listened to three lectures with the rest of the group.

    Not long after lunch, everyone gathered for a three-hour long exchange.

    ¡°Everyone has worked hard. It¡¯s like this. Our school has a very important project. This project is rted to China. Everyone, follow me to the cultural museum.¡±

    After the conference ended, the director of the History department of Hanchuan University proudly brought everyone to see their department¡¯stest research findings.

    The teachers on the list had an idea in their hearts. Usually, during this segment, the school would be preparing to show off their results.

    There wereparisons andpetitions between universities. It was apetition to see who had better results in research projects and who had discovered more new fields.

    Everyone knew what was going on, so they did not expose anything. They smiled and followed the director to the cultural hall of Hanchuan University.

    Xia Wanyuan was the youngest, so she naturally walked at the back of the group.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Miss Xia to know so much at such a young age. It¡¯s admirable.¡± A young professor from Hanchuan University walked behind the group and tried to talk to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly, not saying much.

    Hanchuan¡¯s Professor Lin was, after all, a schr. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not wish to speak further, he did not pursue the matter. However, his peripheral vision could not help but drift towards Xia Wanyuan.

    stic surgery was prevalent in the country of Han, and there were severe traces of carving. Although there were natural beauties, it was Professor Lin¡¯s first time seeing such beauty.

    rofessor Lin was the most popr male professor at Hanchuan University. He was also a flower in the academicmunity.

    ow that he saw the talented and beautiful Xia Wanyuan from China, Professor Lin, this flower from the high mountains, began to walk down his throne.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how famous Professor Lin was in the country.

    However, because the two of them were walking together, photos of the two of them quickly appeared on Hanchuan¡¯s forum.

    A talented man and a beautiful woman. If these two are together, will it be a cultural marriage between China and Country Han?]

    I always thought Professor Lin was very aloof. I didn¡¯t expect him to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with women.]

    Honestly, this woman from China is really beautiful. Did she do stic surgery? I want to ask for a hospital address. I want to go too.]

    The teachers soon arrived at the cultural hall.

    Seeing the reporters and photographers at the door, the teacher leading the team looked a little gloomy.

    Xia Wanyuan saw the director¡¯s expression and understood a little.

    There were no reporters at the conference, so it was a bit embarrassing to invite so many reporters to showcase Country Han¡¯s research results.

    After entering the cultural museum, the teachers of Hanchuan University introduced the research results of various schools to everyone.

    ¡°Next, I would like to introduce to everyone the joint research of the Archaeology Department and History Department of Hanchuan University. This will be a shocking research project in the world of history.¡± The

    head of the History Department of Hanchuan University excitedly unveiled a curtain in the middle of the exhibition hall.

    What appeared before them was a half-crippled ancient painting with Chinese characters on it.

    However, when the teachers of Qing University saw it, they felt that it was very strange. The words were very simr to Chinese, but there were differences.

    In addition to this ancient painting, there was also a very elegant ancient artifact in the disy cab beside it. The golden dragon was spiraling, and it was obvious that this was an ancient royal artifact.

    The teachers from the non-academic and History departments were confused while the teachers from the History department were shocked.

    Indeed,

    The head of Hanchuan University¡¯s next words verified everyone¡¯s guess. ¡°This is one of the many goods we found. Our archeology department and the History department have coborated to discover a dynasty, a

    Chinese dynasty. This dynasty has been buried by history for more than a thousand years.¡±

    The moment that was said, the entire exhibition hall erupted.

    For a university, being able to excavate ancient cultural relics andb through history was already a remarkable achievement.

    Discovering a dynasty from a thousand years ago meant that a dynasty¡¯s civilization might be unearthed in the future. This was an earth-shattering achievement that would be recorded in history.

    The sound of the shutter was heard, followed by enthusiastic apuse.

    ¡°However,¡± the director of Hanchuan University added, ¡°for the time being, we only have a glimpse of the dynasty¡¯s situation. The project is still progressing, and we¡¯re looking forward to showing the dynasty to

    everyone as soon as possible.¡±

    No matter what, being able to discover a missing dynasty was enough to make Hanchuan University a glorious ce in history.

    In the exhibition hall, there were people who were proud and some who were sullen.

    No one noticed that the usually calm Xia Wanyuan was lost in thought as she stared at the iplete scroll..

    Until the end of the tour, Xia Wanyuan was still looking at the painting in the disy case.

    Professor Lin walked over. ¡°Professor Xia, if you¡¯re interested in this, I can help you contact a history professor at Hanchuan University.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan returned to her senses and shook her head. ¡°No, thank you.¡±

    Even if she wanted to contact the professor, she could ask Jun Shiling for help.

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t like her to look for others when she needed help, and she knew this. She didn¡¯t want to make Jun Shiling unhappy because of these things.

    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll take you back to the hotel.¡± Professor Lin tried again but was still rejected.

    A passing student posted a photo of Professor Lin gazing at Xia Wanyuan online.

    Theizens of Country Han were filled with lemons.

    Meanwhile, the Chineseizens felt proud.

    [Let the foreign countries see how beautiful our Chinese beauties are!]

    [Xia Wanyuan is simply the pride of China. She¡¯s beautiful and talented. If I were Qing University, I would also be willing to let her go out for an exchange. It would save me a lot of advertising fees.]

    It was dinner time, but Xia Wanyuan had no appetite.

    No one was more shocked than her when she saw what was in the exhibition hall of Hanchuan University.

    Aftering to the modern world, Xia Wanyuan had also flipped through history books.

    There were no records of her dynasty. She always thought that her dynasty was not in this world.

    But that half of the painting just now was clearly done by a civil official of the Great Xia Dynasty, and had been presented during her birthday gift.

    There was also the oxidized jar that she had used in her previous life when she prayed to the heavens.

    Xia Wanyuan searched the inte, but there was still no information. Presumably, Hanchuan University had discovered this dynasty, but there was no progress in their research.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door. Xia Wanyuan went over to take a look. The dinner Jun Shiling had ordered had arrived.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was in no mood to eat. After they left with the food, Xia Wanyuan put on her shoes and headed straight for the History department office at Hanchuan University.

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, the teachers of Hanchuan University did not reveal much about the progress of this confidential study.

    However, Xia Wanyuan still beat around the bush and obtained some information. By the time she left the History department building, two hours had already passed.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look at the time and cursed silently.

    ndeed, Jun Shiling had video-called her several times on WeChat.

    n the end, perhaps because he knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s whereabouts, he only said, ¡°Call me when you¡¯re back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan quickly called Jun Shiling and told him everything.

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t show any signs of anger, but Xia Wanyuan felt that there was something wrong with his reaction, but she couldn¡¯t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

    The trip to the cultural center had benefited Hanchuan University.

    They invited so many media reporters. When they were promoting, all of them said, ¡°Hanchuan University discovered a new dynasty in China and shocked the China Exchange Group.¡±

    The dynasty that China did not even discover was discovered by Hanchuan University. This greatly improved the reputation of Hanchuan University¡¯s History department and Archaeology department.

    The next day, Hanchuan University invited Xia Wanyuan and the others to visit the history museum of Hanchuan University. There were many precious calligraphy and antiques from China.

    ¡°Everyone, take a look at this Autumn Chrysanthemum Painting. A hundred years ago, one of our professors got it from a Chinese vendor.

    ¡°This is the work of a famous painter, Li Yin. This painting was rejected because it was suspected of being fake. Later, it was purchased at a high price by a professor from our school. After appraisal, it was

    authenticated and has been preserved until today.¡±

    Li Yin was one of the most brilliant painters in China¡¯s history. His paintings were rarely passed down, and because of his superb painting skills, he was famous for his extraordinary style.

    The faces of all the Qing University teachers present turned ugly. Hanchuan University¡¯s words sounded as if the Chinese painting and calligraphy world did not know what was good for them.

    ¡°There¡¯s also this white jade wine ss from the Han Dynasty. We got it back from China at a low price a few decades ago.¡± The person who introduced the disy seemed to be encouraged by the increasing volume of

    the shutters, emphasizing that these treasures were picked up from China.

    Hanchuan¡¯s vice-principal frowned as he watched from the side. He was about to ask someone to remind them not to go overboard when his secretary came over and said, ¡°This was instructed by the principal.

    Hanchuan has been wanting to create an international history and culture major all these years. The principal means that we can borrow the power of the Qing University.¡±

    The vice-principal retracted his hand and silently agreed with the staff.

    ¡°In my opinion, this¡¯ Autumn Chrysanthemum ¡®is fake. This white jade cup is also fake.¡±

    In the silent exhibition hall, a cold voice sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice..

    It was the person who was extremely eye-catching but kept a low profile during the two days ofmunication.

    Xia Wanyuan wore a light-colored suit. It was obviously a modern outfit, but as she stood in the exhibition hall, everyone suddenly realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elegant aura matched everything here.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words doubled the volume of the crowd¡¯s shutter sounds.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the teachers who came with her from Qing University were all worried for her. This was Hanchuan University. Xia Wanyuan was still too young and could not hold her temper. If she

    could not produce evidence to prove that this was a fake, it would not end well today.

    A teacher wanted to step forward to help her, but was stopped by Professor Zhang, who was leading the team. Professor Zhang shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Wanyuan is not a rash person. Keep watching and don¡¯t worry

    about it.¡±

    The professors of Hanchuan University looked at Xia Wanyuan with disdain.

    She was just a little girl. Did she really think that just because she could memorize some books, she knew the immensity of heaven and earth?

    ¡°Professor Xia, what do you mean?¡± The person in charge of exining was Han Yong from the History department of Hanchuan University. He had a smile on his face, but there was contempt in his eyes for Xia

    Wanyuan.

    ¡°I say, this ¡®Autumn Chrysanthemum! of yours is fake.¡± Xia Wanyuan was still very calm.

    ¡°Professor Xia, you have to be responsible for what you said. Tell me, why do you think this painting is fake?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took two steps forward and nced at the painting in the disy cab. ¡°This painting is very well imitated. It¡¯s a fake, but Li Yin has a heaven-defying art that represents his art. This painting has the

    shape but not the spirit.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words caused an uproar.

    ¡°Little girl, there are only two paintings that have been passed down from generation to generation by Li Yin. The other one is already badly damaged. This reverse peak art form is only recorded in ancient books. It¡¯s

    still unclear whether it¡¯s real or fake. You can¡¯t convince everyone with this reason.¡±

    A middle-aged man standing at the side had worked hard for half his life and had just been promoted to associate professor. Towards a young and beautiful professor like Xia Wanyuan, he naturally felt sour in his heart.

    He seized this opportunity and mercilessly confronted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Professor Xia. Qing University has always imed that they have a solid education style, but you just used a non-existent painting method to use the treasure of Hanchuan University of being fake. This

    is too embarrassing.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I¡¯ve always heard that the Qing University is the most prestigious university in China. It seems like it¡¯s nothing much.¡±

    The reporters also seized this opportunity to make a big selling point and frantically snapped photos.

    Faced with more and more questions and usations, Xia Wanyuan made a stop sign.

    Strangely, she stood there quietly and scanned the room. With a simple gesture, the entire room fell silent.

    ¡°Who said that the reverse peak art has been lost?? I was lucky enough to see Li Yin¡¯s real work. I can imitate the reverse peak art a little and get some ink, paper, and ink.¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the staff instinctively went to prepare the tools for her.

    Ny-nine percent of the people present felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were too outrageous.

    Ignoring the fact that the reverse peak art only existed in ancient books, even Li Yin¡¯s Autumn Chrysanthemum Painting was difficult to draw. His style was too distinctive, and there were very few imitations of him on

    the market because it was too difficult to imitate.

    What did such a young girl know?

    Everyone had different thoughts, but Xia Wanyuan had already begun drawing..

    On the table beside the exhibition hall, Xia Wanyuan was holding a pen and drawing rapidly on the paper.

    The Qing University professors were at the very center. The others could only see that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand did not stop. They could not see the final product, but when

    they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wanton style of painting, everyone estimated her standard in their hearts.

    ¡°Young people these days are really too impetuous. They¡¯re spouting nonsense just to gain some fame.¡±

    ¡°The way she holds the pen is too ill-disciplined. How dare she say that she can draw Li Yin¡¯s picture?¡±

    ¡°Shh, just watch. It¡¯s not like we¡¯re the ones who lost face. We¡¯ll see how it endster.¡±

    While everyone was discussing fervently, Xia Wanyuan hadpletely filtered out the people around her and sunk into the Autumn Chrysanthemum Garden.

    Li Yin¡¯s paintings were rarely seen, but there was indeed another painting that Xia Wanyuan had seen before. It was called ¡°Waterfall.¡±

    Initially, Jun Shiling did not like collecting antiques and calligraphy paintings. Ever since he found out that Xia Wanyuan liked painting, he had gotten people to buy many

    famous paintings from all over the world.

    Among them was Li Yin¡¯s masterpiece, ¡°Waterfall¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan recalled the drawing methods used by Li Yin in that painting. Although she could not imitate 100%, she could still do 70-80%.

    As time passed, the people waiting outside grew increasingly impatient. As for the Qing University professors near Xia Wanyuan, they gradually rxed.

    ¡°With all due respect, I already don¡¯t understand why the Qing University sent a little girl to attend the exchange. Isn¡¯t it too much to ask so many of us to listen to her

    nonsense?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Back then, ¡®Autumn Chrysanthemum¡¯ was personally appraised by international experts. You guys actually apanied a little girl who¡¯s not even 20 years old

    to mess around here. If this spreads to the internationalmunity, everyone will think that our Y Continent has no one, right?¡±

    The people who had originally wanted to see what Xia Wanyuan had drawn were also suspicious upon hearing this. If they stayed any longer, they would lose face. Thus,

    under the urging of some people, everyone began to slowly leave the exhibition hall.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± The people in the hall had already walked halfway when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but turn back to look.

    The people in the exhibition hall projected the painting onto the big screen in the middle.

    Gradually, an ¡°Autumn Chrysanthemum Painting¡± filled with strong vitality appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.

    This painting was drawn by Xia Wanyuan using the Orchid Bamboo Brush. The chrysanthemum used two hooks to draw the petals with each stroke. The color of the ink

    was dense and suitable, and the scene was vivid and lifelike.

    However, the most amazing thing was the artistic mood of the entire painting.

    It was clearly the chrysanthemum at the end of autumn. Even the leaves were beginning to fall apart, but the petals that stretched out seemed to be resisting the winter and

    autumn.

    It was just like Li Yin. He had been unruly and unrestrained his entire life. He had been banished countless times, but his unyielding character could not be blown away by

    any autumn wind.

    Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting and then at the painting that they had thought was a ¡°real¡± painting. They were momentarily speechless.

    Those present who knew paintings were not blind. It was obvious which painting was better. In terms of technique and mood, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was much better than

    the collection from Hanchuan University.

    So, the treasure that Hanchuan University treated preciously was fake?!!!

    At this moment, the faces of the teachers from Hanchuan University were very ugly.

    The vice-principal couldn¡¯t wait to remove the staff member who did the introduction from his position. /fonly he hadn¡¯t provoked the people from Qing University. How

    am I going to clean up the mess now?

    Professor Zhang waited for a while until the situation was extremely awkward. Then, he finally came forward to resolve the situation. ¡°Our school¡¯s Professor Xia is only

    guessing, hahaha. We haven¡¯tpletely confirmed that ¡®Autumn Chrysanthemum¡¯ is fake. We still have to wait for the international professional team to verify it. We still

    have to observe who is real and who is fake. Don¡¯t you agree, Principal Cui?¡±

    ¡°Ah yes, thank you Professor Xia for your suggestion. We will invite a professional appraiser overter. When the results are out, we will inform you immediately.¡± Even

    though everyone knew clearly that the present painting was fake, since Professor Zhang had already given them an out, Principal Cui naturally went along with it.

    However, there were always some people who were unwilling to step down and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

    Not long ago, the fiercest associate professor who had questioned Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fiercest associate professor was from the Philosophy faculty and did not know much about

    paintings. As a result, he could not see how Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings were better than the collections of Hanchuan University.

    After listening to Professor Zhang¡¯s words, he believed them to be true. Seeing how Xia Wanyuan had managed to escape unscathed after humiliating the treasure of their

    Hanchuan University, he could not hold back anymore.

    ¡°Miss Xia is young, but you are knowledgeable. How do you know that the white jade wine ss of the Han Dynasty is fake?¡±.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was silent, the person continued to ask, ¡°Professor Xia knows poetry, history, and painting, but you also know about antiques and artifacts?¡±

    The vice-principal kept giving him looks, but he was ignored.

    Being able to be the vice-principal, his ability to read people¡¯s expressions was naturally top-notch. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calm expression, he thought to himself that

    this was bad. This time, Hanchuan University would probably lose face again.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know much about artifacts and antiques.¡± She shook her head.

    Everyone felt relieved.

    They were scared to death. They thought that young people these days were experts in literature, could write, paint, and even appraise cultural relics. This was too

    heaven-defying. How could them old fellows survive?

    ¡°Tsk, then what right do you have to say that this cup is fake? With your mouth?

    ¡°Because the real thing is in my house,¡± Xia Wanyuan lightly said.

    o one had expected Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reason to be this.

    ¡°What a joke. Do you know how much this costs?¡±

    ¡°I know, my family is rich.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded calmly. She really couldn¡¯t afford this cup now, but Jun Shiling had bought it, so it was considered as her family¡¯s item.

    ¡°.,, Interesting. Why didn¡¯t you say that you bought a fake?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t your school going to Qing University for an exchange next month? I¡¯m willing to bring the real thing and exhibit it in school for free for a month. When the time

    es, everyone cane and take a look.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was overly confident.

    On top of that, Xia Wanyuan really did have a face of wealth. Everyone felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family product was the real deal.

    This series of urate blowspletely eliminated everyone¡¯s doubts.

    Professor Zhang was overjoyed. Hanchuan University wanted to show off its superiority, but it failed. Although he knew that he shouldn¡¯tugh at the rtionship between

    the two schools, he silently praised Xia Wanyuan in his heart.

    In the end, young people were still courageous. Even if old people like them knew it was fake, they would only keep it in their hearts. It had to be said that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s

    actions made the old professors, who had been feigning civility, feel veryfortable.

    ¡°Principal Cui, I¡¯m really sorry. She¡¯s still young and immature, so she likes saying whatever she wants. When I go back, I will definitely educate her well. Come over next

    month, and we will definitely prepare well.¡± Professor Zhang looked at Principal Cui with a troubled expression, and even gave Xia Wanyuan a reproachful look.

    ¡°Your Qing University has really recruited a talent.¡± Principal Cui finally said this after holding it in for a long time.

    ¡°Of course not, Principal Cui, you tter me. Hanchuan University is our model.¡± Professor Zhangughed heartily.

    rincipal Cui: haha.

    ow that things had developed to this point, Hanchuan University no longer dared to let Xia Wanyuan and the others continue to tour the exhibition hall.

    ff a few more forgeries were to appear, the scene would be really ugly.

    For the rest of the journey, Professor Zhang directly allowed Xia Wanyuan to participate. The teachers of Hanchuan University had long heard of what had happened in the

    exhibition hall. They were afraid that if they failed to provoke Xia Wanyuan, they would be a joke.

    Hence, the afternoon¡¯s schedule was unusually smooth. Both parties had fake smiles on their faces andpleted the exchange study perfectly.

    n the ¡°reluctant farewells¡± of the school leaders and the Qing University Exchange Group,

    this exchange finally ended perfectly.

    The moment the ne doors closed,

    The teachers who were reluctant to part immediately removed their disguises and revealed relieved expressions as they started chatting.

    ¡°Hanchuan University¡¯s cheap tricks are really unpresentable.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t even talk about it, but the way Wanyuan rebuked them was really too venting.¡± At this time, Professor Zhang no longer med Xia Wanyuan. He was all smiles.

    ¡°Wanyuan, is the real thing really at your house?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Can you let this old man have a look next time? I¡¯ve studied it all my life, but I¡¯ve never seen such a precious genuine item.¡± The archeology teacher looked at Xia Wanyuan

    enviously.

    ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll bring the real thing over for a month for free next month.¡±

    ¡°This time, we¡¯ll have to take advantage of your spotlight, Yuan Yuan,¡± the professors joked with her.

    Their journey was around three hours and it was not bed time, so everyone was rather energetic.

    The professors were usually very serious, but everyone liked this junior Xia Wanyuan. They treated her as an equal in academia, but in private, everyone doted on her like a

    granddaughter. They were also very concerned about her marriage.

    ¡°Wanyuan, do you have a boyfriend?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was drinking water when she choked on the question. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Such a good girl. If not for my grandson attending kindergarten, it¡¯ll be great if she was my daughter-inw.¡± The more Professor Li looked at Xia Wanyuan, the more

    satisfied he was.

    ¡°Old Li, you only have one son. Don¡¯t even think about it. Wanyuan, my son is about to return from America. He has a doctorate. You can meet him then. It doesn¡¯t matter if

    you can¡¯t be a couple in the end. Just be friends.¡±

    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t fight with me. I have a nephew, a rising star in politics and talent.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could say a word, the professors were already in a heated debate over who she should go on a blind date with.

    As the party concerned, Xia Wanyuan did not even have the chance to interrupt. In the end, she could only silently lean against the window and watch the clouds outside.

    Qing University booked economy ss tickets for the teachers. Besides the teachers, there were other passengers.

    Everyone was shocked by this scene of them fighting for her to be their daughter-inw.

    Someone secretly recorded a video.

    ¡°I really want to know, what kind of goddess is it that everyone is fighting over?¡±.

    Although this event between Qing University and Hanchuan University was considered an academic exchange and not many people paid attention to it, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans

    had been paying attention the entire time. After all, Xia Wanyuan was too secretive and rarely attended public events.

    If the fans wanted to watch her, they could only watch the ss videos on the official website of Qing University.

    Fans: Ever since I became a fan of Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯ve been able to understand the demonstration ss of the Qing University very clearly. My immersion is too strong. I feel

    like I¡¯m about to be a top student at the Qing University.

    When the fans were surfing everywhere, they chanced upon this video. Others might not recognize it, but they saw the Qing University¡¯s videos every day. How could they

    not recognize it?

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this our Wanyuan¡¯s colleague? They¡¯re all professors from the Qing University! Ahhh, the one wearing the hat at the side is our Yuan Yuan!¡±

    Following the fans¡¯ reminders, everyone found the official Weibo ount of Qing University to take a look. Heh, it was true. The official Weibo had posted some photos of

    the two schools interacting. Among the many professors, even if Xia Wanyuan was standing in a corner, she was still the most eye-catching one.

    [The one whose grandson went to kindergarten in the beginning was the editor-in-chief of our textbook. He said that his nephew is a rising political star and is a national

    academician. ..]

    [What the f*ck¡­ I¡¯m sorry to disturb you. I thought they were joking when they fought for her. Now, I just want to say, big shots!! I can!!! I really can!!]

    [What I¡¯m more curious about is how Xia Wanyuan could make so many big shots fight to bring her home to be their daughter-inw. ]

    This question also aroused the interest of others.

    A nosyizen specially opened a post, ¡°How popr is Xia Wanyuan in the matchmaking market?¡±

    Then, he sorted out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s criteria. She was the CEO of a corporation, a popr female star, a dual faculty professor at Qing University. She could sing, dance, and

    was a master painter. Most importantly, she looked like a fairy. Although she usually kept a low profile, her figure was well-proportioned.

    [Looking at it this way, Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. Um, my brother is a designer for aerospace engineering. Let me register for my brother.]

    [My cousin runs a steel factory, and his annual output is close to ten billion. He is also a top graduate of Qing University, so let¡¯s set a trap for my brother first.]

    [Usually, you can¡¯t even bump into a rich second-generation big shot. Now, all of you are here. Are you serious? Can you consider me?]

    A video that was originally posted by the blogger because he thought it was fun gradually became a ¡°blind date festival¡±.

    Everyone made this into a joke. There were more than a hundred thousandments about wanting to sign up for a blind date with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had unknowingly be the ¡°national daughter-inw¡±.

    The nended and they finally returned to the capital. The teachers seemed to be in a good mood.

    Academics had a very obvious characteristic: discipline.

    The group of professors debated for a long time, but they could not find out whose son was more outstanding. The professors simply made a list, and on it, they listed the

    criteria of each child.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry as she looked at the form in her hand.

    ¡°Wanyuan, go back and take a good look. If you like someone, we¡¯ll arrange it for you.

    The professors were about to continue when Xia Wanyuan saw the Phantom drive over. ¡°The car that came to pick me up is here. Goodbye, everyone.¡± Then, she quickly

    fled the awkward scene.

    As expected, Jun Shiling was sitting in the car. Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling very well. She had already stuffed the form given by the professors into her bag before getting

    into the car.

    After not seeing Jun Shiling for two or three days, Xia Wanyuan jumped into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms the moment she got into the car.

    Smelling the familiar scent, Xia Wanyuan rubbed against Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder in satisfaction. ¡°I miss you so much.¡±

    ¡°I miss you too.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and turned to kiss her, his tone gentle and affectionate.

    It¡¯s done, Xia Wanyuan thought. J made it through.

    However, in the next second,

    ¡°You still have time to have blind dates when you miss me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stepped out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She saw that Jun Shiling was holding the blind date sheet in his hands, looking at her with a half-smile.

    ¡°Listen to my exnation.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached for the form.

    ¡°I¡¯m not listening.¡± Jun Shiling took the form to the side, not letting Xia Wanyuan touch it.

    ¡°¡­¡±Xia Wanyuan felt that this conversation was just like those television dramas. She didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.

    ¡°Jun Shiling!¡± Unable to get her form, Xia Wanyuan simply smacked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    Jun Shiling snorted lightly and quickly scanned through the name list. ¡°These people are not as educated as me, not as rich as me, and their families are not as good as mine.¡±

    ¡°Yes, not as handsome as you, not as considerate, not as gentle as you,¡± Xia Wanyuan quickly followed Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling was overjoyed. He couldn¡¯t suppress the smile on his lips, but he still tried his best to keep a straight face.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in three days, and you¡¯re treating me like this.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    She nced at Jun Shiling with an aggrieved look, then turned her gaze to the window. She looked like a pitiful person who had been hurt by love.

    Jun Shiling was silent. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was doing this on purpose, but he could not bear to see her like this.

    Reaching out, he carried Xia Wanyuan onto hisp. ¡°What did I do to you?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re mad at me.¡± Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s embrace, Xia Wanyuan smiled smugly.

    ¡°How would I dare?¡± Jun Shiling sighed. He threw the form aside and hugged Xia Wanyuan with both hands.

    ¡°You don¡¯t miss me, you don¡¯t even care about me.¡± Xia Wanyuan continued to feel wronged.

    ¡°Do you still think I don¡¯t miss you?¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan closer.

    Xia Wanyuan immediately felt Jun Shiling¡¯s burning desire that almost burned her, and her neck blushed.

    However, no matter how much he missed her, it was useless. Simrly, Xiao Bao, who had not seen Xia Wanyuan for three days, had been sticking to her. He had even received special permission from her to sleep with

    his parents.

    ¡°Good night, Mommy!¡± It had been too long since he had slept with Xia Wanyuan. Xiao Bao was extremely excited as he kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek.

    Then, he turned around and kissed Jun Shiling. ¡°Goodnight, Daddy.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with warmth. ¡°Go to sleep.¡±

    ¡°Mmm!¡± Xiao Bao held onto Xia Wanyuan with one hand and Jun Shiling with the other. They quickly fell asleep.

    Xia Wanyuan was half-asleep when she found herself being carried.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, she saw Jun Shiling hugging her at the waist. Xia Wanyuan was shocked and quickly nced at Xiao Bao beside her.

    Fortunately, Xiao Bao was fast asleep and did not notice. He even dreamed of something delicious and was smacking his lips.

    When they reached the bedroom next door, Xia Wanyuan finally dared to speak loudly. ¡°What are you doing?! What if you wake Xiao Bao up?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t help it. 1 miss you so much.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely suppressed.

    Fine kisses fell on Xia Wan Yuan¡¯s neck.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but in the end, she melted under Jun Shiling¡¯s heat.

    ¡°Go to bed,¡± Xia Wanyuan said with her remaining rationality.

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t have the time.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but all of it smashed like ss.

    The next afternoon, Xia Wanyuan held her waist and sighed. The old man was right.

    Absence makes the heart grow fonder. It was really scary. If it was Jun Shiling, it was even scarier.

    Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body was in good condition. She rested for a while before heading to the set.

    She had applied for four consecutive days of leave. If she still did not go to the production team, she would feel embarrassed.

    ¡°Little Xia, you¡¯re here.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, Director Wang Wei hurriedly greeted her. ¡°Come quickly, I want to introduce someone to you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and someone walked out of the lounge.

    ¡°Come, let me tell you. This person can be considered your senior. Movie Queen Shi Tian. She¡¯s our special guest this time.¡±

    Director Wang Wei was only thinking of introducing more people to Xia Wanyuan, so he did not notice that the atmosphere between Xia Wanyuan and Shi Tian was extremely odd.

    ¡°I know this junior. Her acting is not bad.¡± Shi Tian raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Huanyuan with a faint smile.

    ¡°Your acting skills are also very good.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced coldly at Shi Tian, then turned to Director Wang Wei. ¡°Director, I¡¯ll go and do my makeup first.¡±

    ¡°Aye, okay.¡± Director Wang Wei was a careless man and did not realize that there was something wrong between the two. After Xia Wanyuan left, he kept praising Xia Wanyuan to Shi Tian.

    Shi Tian looked in the direction that Xia Wanyuan had left, and a trace of hatred shed across her eyes..

 Chapter 686 - Hit Me? You Can Try

    <h4>Chapter 686 Hit Me? You Can Try</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios<strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Shi Tian and Director Wang Wei were university ssmates and had a good rtionship. The main cast of ¡°Dark Night¡± had long been decided, and Shi Tian had actually left the entertainment industry long ago. This

    time, she was the one who took the initiative to look for Director Wang Wei toe over and guest star in a role.

    Not only was Shi Tian the Movie Queen, her husband Liu Xingchuan was also the evergreen Movie King of the entertainment industry. In addition, the Shi family was a powerful family.

    Although Shi Tian was only a guest actor, the entire cast and crew surrounded her andughed with her.

    When Xia Wanyuan came out after changing, Shi Tian was chatting with the cast and crew. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, Shi Tian pushed her cup forward. ¡°I¡¯m old and my arms and legs are useless. Miss Xia, can you

    pour me a cup of water?¡±

    With so many people around, Shi Tian thought that Xia Wanyuan would definitely pour for her, considering her reputation.

    However, she still did not understand Xia Wanyuan at all. Xia Wanyuan directly ignored her and went to the filming location in her costume.

    When the others saw that the situation was not right, they hurriedly tried to smooth things over. ¡°She¡¯s just a junior, she¡¯s so clumsy. Let me help you pour.¡±

    Shi Tian did not seem angry at all. She waved her hand. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±

    When it was time for filming, Xia Wanyuan roughly knew why Shi Tian hade today.

    The snow fox yed by Xia Wanyuan, because it had lost its memories, appeared innocent and gullible.

    In the vige, Second Mother Wang lost her chicken. After looking around, she suspected that Snow Fox was the culprit. Second Mother Wang was famous for being shrewish.

    Today¡¯s scene was where the Snow Fox was beaten by Second Mother Wang.

    It was supposed to be a scene that could be done with a stunt double, but Shi Tian disagreed.

    ¡°When we were filming at that time, when did we ever use a stunt double? Those were all real fights. I, Shi Tian, have never faked anything when filming.¡±

    As soon as she said this, Director Wang Wei was put in a difficult position. Shi Tian had been influenced by her family¡¯s environment since she was young. Indeed, she had never used a substitute for filming, and she had

    always acted on her own. As an actress, she was very professional.

    But this Xia Wanyuan was tender and delicate. Director Wang Wei was afraid that something bad would happen to her.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, Director. You don¡¯t have to use a substitute,¡± the silent Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°Alright, alright then.¡± Director Wang Wei gestured, and the cameras started filming.

    ¡°You vixen!¡± Shi Tian, who was dressed in flowery cotton clothing, was a movie queen after all. Her acting was very natural, and she portrayed the angry and unreasonable Second Mother Wang vividly. ¡°Did you steal

    my family¡¯s chicken! Was it you!¡±

    The pure Snow Fox hugged her own arm and looked up at Second Mother Wang from time to time. Its eyes were filled with fear and tears streamed down.

    ¡°Say something! I¡¯ll beat you to death, you thief!¡± Shi Tian raised her hand and exerted all her strength. Shi Tian had martial arts skills. With this p, Xia Wanyuan would not be able to recover from the injuries on her

    face for at least half a month.

    Even if Director Wang Wei was a straight man, he could tell that Shi Tian had gone too far. He was about to shout for her to stop.

    The Snow Fox, whose face was filled with tears just a moment ago, was about to be pped.

    Suddenly, a confused look shed across her eyes. It was as if something was about to escape from her mind.

    In the next moment, her eyes were still filled with conflict, but her body reacted as if it was a conditioned reflex and quickly responded.

    Xia Wanyuan grabbed Shi Tian¡¯s wrist and nimbly flipped her around before smashing her to the ground.

    Shi Tian had also trained before. She quickly reacted and adjusted her body¡¯s angle so that she did not fall to the ground.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan! You¡¯re courting death!¡± Although Shi Tian did not fall, Xia Wanyuan had used some unknown force to squeeze her arm until it was numb.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored her and turned to look at Wang Wei.

    ¡°Director, I changed the script a little. I think that although Snow Fox has lost her memory, her body¡¯s conditioned reflexes are still there. What do you think?¡±

    Wang Wei thought back to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance just now. That kind of physical and psychological tug-of-war had been thoroughly disyed by her.

    ¡°Indeed!¡± Director Wang Wei looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. ¡°The changes you just made fit the character¡¯s characteristics better than the original script.¡±.

 Chapter 687 - The Best Person

    <h4>Chapter 687: The Best Person</h4>

    ¡°Senior, as you can see, I apologize for my impromptu performance.¡± Receiving Director Wang Wei¡¯s approval, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Shi Tian.

    ¡°Senior Xia, you can¡¯t smash the Movie Queen like this on the spot. It was scary just now.¡± Chen Xiaoguo appeared out of nowhere and carefully handed Shi Tian a handkerchief.

    ¡°I naturally know my limits and won¡¯t cause her to fall.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the tissue handed over by Chen Yun and wiped her hands. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can bring Movie Queen Shi to the hospital for a checkup. If you have any questions, you can look for me.¡±

    Shi Tian lowered her head to look at her wrist. She did not know how Xia Wanyuan had grabbed it. At that time, she had felt a heart-wrenching pain, but now it seemed like there was no wound at all. If she said that she was hurt, others would probably think that she was moaning about nothing. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just acting. I can understand,¡± Shi Tian said through gritted teeth.

    Since Shi Tian had said so, everyone dispersed.

    Shi Tian took two steps towards Xia Wanyuan and whispered into her ear, ¡°Little girl, the show has just begun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so close to me. Your wrinkles are obvious.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±Shi Tian has seen countless storms before. Most of the provocations are child¡¯s y to her.

    However, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s creamy skin with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s earlier words, Shi Tian felt as though she was about to vomit blood.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Shi Tian¡¯s expression. She had been in the political scene for so many years and knew very well what the other party¡¯s Achilles¡¯ heel was. Why did she have toe up to me and get

    scolded? She deserved to be so angry.

    ¡°Just wait and see. You and that b * tch, I will make you disappear from the entertainment industry forever.¡± Shi Tian had a smile on her face, as if she was concerned about her juniors. However, the words that came out of her mouth were the most vicious.

    ¡®I NO problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved. ¡°You can try and see who disappears.¡±

    Shi Tian had originally heard from Chen Xioguo that the original Second Mother Wang had resigned from her role, so she wanted to kill Xia Wanyuan¡¯s prestige. She had not expected this person to be so difficult to deal with. She had not shaken Xia Wanyuan in the slightest and had instead angered herself to death.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Shi Tian snorted in disdain and walked away to remove her makeup.

    Director Wang Wei thought that Xia Wanyuan would only being the next day, so he did not arrange any scenes for her today. When Xia Wanyuan left the set, it was only four o¡¯clock. Just ass he was thinking about where to go, she received a call from Academician Li of Qing University.

    Academician Li was a professor in the Physics Department. Although Xia Wanyuan did not study physics, she was very interested in these things that she had never seen in her previous life. Some time ago, when Xia Wanyuan asked Academician Li questions, Academician Li had promised her a set of simple documents.

    This time, Academician Li called to ask Xia Wanyuan to pick it up.

    This matter happened just in time. Xia Wanyuan drove straight to Qing University.

    Inside the physics building, Academician Li hung up the phone and said with a disappointed expression, ¡°I told you to dress more formally, are you trying to anger me to death?¡±

    ¡°Dad, can you stop messing around? I thought you were in a hurry to call me back for something. I already said that I don¡¯t n on getting married for the time being.¡± Li Ke, who was so handsome that he didn¡¯t look like he was studying physics, said helplessly.

    ¡°You really know how to tter yourself. I don¡¯t even know if she likes you or not. You want to get married? Dream on.¡± Academician Li sighed and said, ¡°Little Xia is the most outstanding girl I¡¯ve ever seen. You really don¡¯t know how to seize opportunities.¡±

    Although Li Ke was an engineering student, he was handsome and had a rich family background. He had a steady stream of women around him since he was young. Wave after wave of fair, rich, and beautiful women came to him.

    Hence, Li Ke scoffed at what Professor Li said about her not liking him. ¡°Dad, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to theboratory. She¡¯s already a dual faculty professor. How young can she be? I don¡¯t have a sunset fetish.¡±

    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t hit you just because you¡¯ve grown up!¡± Academician Li picked up the book angrily and mmed it on Li Ike¡¯s body.

    ¡°Professor Li.¡± At this time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice came from the door, sessfully stopping Professor Li.

    ¡°Ah, Wanyuan, you¡¯re here. Come,e, let me introduce you.¡± Academician Li quickly threw his book aside and called Xia Wan Yuan in.

    ¡°Hello, I am Li Ike.¡± Li Ke, who had a face full of resistance earlier, stared at Xia Wanyuan without blinking. ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and looked at Professor Li. ¡°I¡¯m here to get some documents.¡±

    ¡°Here.¡± Academician Li handed the information to Xia Huanyuan. ¡°Wanyuan, do you remember when I told you about my son who came back from America? Do you two want to talk? Young people always talk more.¡± Academician Li knew his son too well. One look at Li Ke¡¯s expression and he could tell that he had taken a liking to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No, Professor Li. I have some matters to attend to at home, so I have to return early.¡± Xia Wanyuan tactfully declined.

    ¡°Okay then.¡± Academician Li wasn¡¯t stupid. When he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone, he felt that this would not work out.

    ¡°I¡¯ll see you out.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked out of the door. Li Ke immediately followed and apanied her out.

    Although Li Ke was an engineering student, he wasn¡¯t boring at all. He purposely found topics that Xia Wanyuan would be interested in to chat with her.

    When she arrived at the school gate and saw the car slowly approaching to pick her up, Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks. ¡°Mr. Li, we¡¯re not suitable. I already have someone I like.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Li Ke was stunned for a moment before asking subconsciously, ¡°Who is he?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan said something, and Li Ke looked defeated as he bid farewell to her.

    After getting into the car, Xia Wanyuan waited for a long time, but she did not hear him asking about Li Ke.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little curious and wanted to ask Jun Shiling, but Jun Shiling covered her eyes with his palm and nted a loving kiss on her ear.

    At first, Jun Shiling was very angry when he saw Li Ke and Xia Wanyuan standing together.

    But Jun Shiling knew lipnguage. He understood what Xia Wanyuan had said.

    He is the best person in my heart.

    Shi Tian returned home with a stomach full of anger, only to see that there was another pile of flowers in the room.

    ¡®Throw them all out!!¡± Shi Tian was so angry that she felt dizzy. ¡®Xia

    After her headache subsided, Shi Tian made a call.

    ¡°Hello, Chairman Wang, I heard that you guys are holding a film festival?¡­ It¡¯s like this, my old ssmate Wang Weixin is the female lead of a movie. She¡¯s a very smart girl. I want to help her get a ce in the festival. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°Aiyo, President Shi, you¡¯re killing me with your words. Isn¡¯t it just a spot? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get someone to deliver the invitation. President Shi, if you have time, let¡¯s have a meal together?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Chairman Wang. No problem. I¡¯ll be the host next week. Let¡¯s gather together!¡± Shi Tian chatted with Chairman Wang for a long time before hanging up.

    Holding onto the corner of her phone, Shi Tian¡¯s heart was filled with hatred.

    Xia Wanyuan, let¡¯s see how you dodge this time.

    ¡°Did you miss me?¡±

    ¡°¡­ Yes, yes, yes.. This is already the fifth time you asked me on the road. Aren¡¯t you tired, CEO Jun?¡± Xia Wanyuan helplessly pushed Jun Shiling, who was leaning on her shoulder, away, but Jun Shiling quickly leaned over again.

    ¡°I miss you. I¡¯ve been thinking about you all day.¡± Jun Shiling himself felt that he was terrifyingly clingy. In the first 25 years, he had never thought about this word in his dictionary.

    However, ever since he met Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling wished he could keep her in his pocket twenty-four hours a day, holding her in his hands. When he couldn¡¯t see her for a while, his heart felt like it was being tickled by bamboo sticks. He had to see Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I know.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand helplessly. Jun Shiling held her hand and leaned closer, touching her cheek with his lips.

    ¡°Did you poison me to make me like you so much?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, almost obsessed. His eyes were filled with love.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could say anything, Jun Shilingughed. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m poisoned. Poison more, I¡¯m more than willing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt both helpless and touched. She kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s go back and eat.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and carried Xia Wanyuan up.

    Inside the house, the cat that had been sent out for a long time to recuperate was finally sent back.

    Compared to a month ago, the kitten looked healthier and its fur was smoother.

    Xiao Bao was ying with the cat with a ball.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had returned, Xia Wanyuan ran to the sofa with the kitten in his arms. ¡°Mommy, touch it. Its fur is so soft.¡±

    <h4>Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch it, her eyes smiling. ¡°Mm.¡±</h4>

    At the dining table, Jun Shiling took care of Xia Wanyuan while she ate. While Xiao Bao ate, he also looked at the cat beside him. In a sense, there was a strange harmony.

    The next morning.

    Xiao Bao went to kindergarten on time.

    But the other refused to leave.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao is more punctual than you. What time is it? Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked helplessly at the head on her shoulder.

    ¡°Come with me.¡±

    ¡°No, I have to do a live broadcast in the morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan mercilessly refused.

    ¡°Then I¡¯lle and find you for lunch.¡±

    ¡°No, I have to go film in the afternoon. I won¡¯t make it in time.¡± Xia Wanyuan mercilessly killed him twice.

    ¡°I miss you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words sessfully softened Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°I¡¯ll bring lunch over for you, okay? Seriously, can you leave now?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s wish was fulfilled. Only then did he reluctantly let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and embark on the journey to thepany.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been a discerning person. Regarding Jun Shiling sticking to her so much, Xia Wanyuan knew in her heart that it was because Jun Shiling needed love. Therefore, no matter how Jun Shiling threw a tantrum, Xia Wanyuan would always give in to him.

    Naturally, Old Master Jun loved Jun Shiling, but he was too busy to be by Jun Shiling¡¯s side. He had lost his parents at the age of three and there was no one Jun Shiling could rely on by his side.

    This kind of person who grew up alone in the dark seemed cold and aloof, but in reality, hecked love the most. When he met someone he trusted and liked, his sense of security would be very weak. She was afraid that the other party would not be by his side for even a moment.

    Within five minutes, Jun Shiling called back.

    Without waiting for Jun Shiling to speak, Xia Wanyuan spoke up. ¡°Jun Shiling, I love you. Work hard. I¡¯ll look for you in the afternoon. ¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling swallowed his words, his ears turning red. ¡°Oh, okay.¡±

    The chauffeur was driving at the front. When he saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, he clicked his tongue in his heart. Eh, ifyou¡¯re happy, so be it. Why are you holding it in? Although the boss didn¡¯t say a word, he could tell at a nce that thedy boss was on the other end of the phone. Other than thedy boss, there was no other person who could make the boss blush.

    After pacifying Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan could finally begin her work in peace.

    Previously, she had promised thepany that she would do a live broadcast. Xia Wanyuan clicked into Weibo, and without any prelude, she immediately started the live broadcast.

    It was only 8: 30 am.

    Xia Wanyuan carried the cat with one hand and drank water with the other. She appeared on Weibo without warning..

    <h4>Chapter 689 President Jun Enters the Princess¡¯ Live Stream</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios<strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    It was Saturday. For most young people today, the weekend mornings started from ten o¡¯clock.

    Therefore, when Xia Wanyuan had just started the broadcast, not many people entered the live-stream.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the empty livestream room and wondered if there was something wrong with what she did. She leaned closer to her phone and studied it.

    Theizens who received the Weibo notification came in one after another. The moment they entered, they saw a close-up of a beautiful face.

    [Mommy, you¡¯re killing me so early in the morning!!]

    [Early birds have worms to eat! Look what I got! Yuan Yuan, you haven¡¯t appeared in a long time! I miss you!]

    More and more people were invited in. Gradually, the number of people in the live-stream room soared to the top of the tform at the same time.

    ¡°The manager asked me to do a live broadcast for everyone. What would you like to see?¡± Xia Wanyuan touched the cat in her hand, and it meowed.

    [Ahhh, is it a cat? I want to see a cat!]

    [I want to see what Yuan Yuan¡¯s home looks like!!]

    [Right! I want to see what the richdy¡¯s house is like!]

    Xia Wanyuan looked at thements and moved the camera down slightly. A snow-white cat appeared on the screen. Its ss-like eyes seemed to contain the blue sea

    and blue sky, causing thements to scream.

    Seeing the kitten leaning against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, the crowd did not know whether to envy the cat or Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°King Xuan Sheng has entered the broadcast room.¡±

    While everyone was admiring Beauty Cat, a live broadcast announcement caught everyone¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Emperor Xuan Sheng rewards the broadcaster with a pandora box.¡± ¡°Emperor Xuan Sheng rewards the broadcaster with a crystal carousell.¡±

    JA series of gift special effects instantly dominated the entire screen.

    [¡­ CEO Xuan is here to chase stars again.]

    [Tsk tsk, Xuan Sheng is so rich. It¡¯s rare to see such a handsome and devoted man. | don¡¯t understand why Xia Wan Yuan isn¡¯t with him.]

    Xia Wanyuan stood up as she watched thements deviate from the topic due to Xuan Sheng¡¯s arrival. ¡°Since everyone is curious about my house, let me show you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words sessfully drew back the audience¡¯s attention.

    Xia Wanyuan had gotten the servants to tidy up the room early in the morning. Now, there were no signs of other people living here.

    ¡°This is the living room. I usually like to watch television and drink tea here. This cup is from Ci Yi. Their new model is very beautiful.¡± As Xia Wanyuan introduced, many

    people had already rushed to Ci Yi to snatch the cup.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go upstairs and take a look. This is the study room, and this is the bedroom.¡± Xia Wanyuan gave a simple introduction and did not intend for everyone to look inside.

    ¡°This is the cloakroom.¡±

    When she introduced her walk-in closet, the screen was flooded withments, asking to see what Xia Wanyuan¡¯s walk-in closet looked like.

    SUATUET PF RIEB MRA ARE RRMA e (BS MT AREER HEF T RNIN,

    ff the audience were to describe the feeling of seeing the room in the camera for the first time, it would be like opening a door to a magical world.

    tt was a walk-in closet of the size of 300 square meters. Rows and rows oftest fashion dresses seemed endless, and the jewelry sparkled under the light.

    ¡­ leaving behind tears of envy. This is like being treated like a princess. The cloakroom in my dream is like this.]

    Alright, the immersion is too strong. I¡¯m going to pick a set of clothes from here tonight to have a candlelit dinner with the bossy CEO.]

    Xia Wanyuan saw that everyone liked it, and many of the clothes here had not been worn before, so she suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s have a lucky drawter. We¡¯ll pick 20 people, and

    give each of them a set. There are many of these that have not been touched, so everyone can rest assured.¡±

    Pick me, pick me, pick me! I can do it! Ahhh!]

    [The person in front, why do I feel like you¡¯re talking dirty [1. In Chinese, ¡®pick¡¯ and ¡®whip¡¯ have the same character, so this was a pun made by thementer]? It¡¯s not too

    te for me to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan, right? Can you increase the chances of winning a prize?]

    The screen was bustling with activity because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lottery draw.

    ¡®Then, a message was sent from the tform. The entire live-stream instantly fell silent.

    ¡°Emperor Jun Shiling has arrived at the livestream room.¡±.

    The users in the live-stream had different levels. The higher the level, the cooler the special effects.

    The highest level on Weibo was Emperor. When emperors appeared, the entire venue would be filled with clear screens and fireworks. It was rare to see such a high level on Weibo.

    However, everyone¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t on Imperial Entertainment at this moment. They only had one question on their minds.

    ¡°Why is Jun Shiling here?!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was jealous again. Helpless, she said nothing more.

    ¡°What else do you all want to see?¡± Xia Wanyuan shifted the camera back to herself. The kitten was resting on her shoulder, staring curiously at the camera.

    [Yuan Yuan, walk around more.]

    [Right, let¡¯s go out for a walk, Yuan Yuan.]

    By then, the lotus flowers in the garden had already been removed. Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to expose, so she took her phone and went downstairs.

    This is a garden. This is a swimming pool. This is a tennis court.¡±

    I¡¯m the ignorant one. She even built a sports hall at home.]

    [Originally, I only wanted to see what the vi looked like, but Yuan Yuan, you showed me the royal pce. I didn¡¯t believe you when you said you had money, but now I believe you.]

    [All ofyou are paying attention to Xia Wanyuan. Didn¡¯t you realize that Jun Shiling has been on the top of the list and never left?]

    At this time, on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s VIP list, the first was Jun Shiling¡¯s second was Xuan Sheng.

    Jun Shiling did not do anything. He had been hanging there quietly ever since he came in. Everyone wondered if this person hade to the wrong ce.

    After introducing the general situation of the manor, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa andid down naturally. ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything else to broadcast. Do you guys watch cartoons?¡±

    The screen was filled with ellipses and dots. Before anyone could protest, Xia Wanyuan had already switched on the Gray Wolf.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had taken into ount the feelings of the audience and aimed the camera at herself and the cat. She hugged a bag of potato chips and leanedzily on the sofa.

    Xia Wanyuan watched television. The audience looked at her in harmony.

    It was gradually time to eat. Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll go make some food.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling?s heart ached for her hand and basically did not allow her to enter the kitchen, Xia Wanyuan knew in her heart that every time she personally cooked, Jun Shiling would be very happy.

    On the other side of the screen, Jun Shiling smiled when he saw Xia Wanyuan washing her hands and making soup in the kitchen.

    On the other side, Xuan Sheng had been watching Xia Huanyuan¡¯s livestream with a pen in his hand. Gradually, the pen dropped to the floor. Seeing Xia Wanyuan in an apron, busy in the kitchen, Xuan Sheng had to admit that he was madly envious.

    [What goddess? This pork rib is making me hungry. It¡¯s making me drool.]

    [l never thought that Xia Wanyuan could cook. What kind of man can marry such a wife? Can I sign up for one?]

    Thements were lively. Xia Wanyuan quietly made three dishes and a soup.

    By the time she was done, the clock coincidentally turned twelve.

    ¡°Alright, this is the end of todays livestream. Later on, I¡¯ll do the lucky draw on Weibo. Thank you, everyone: With that, Xia Wanyuan turned off the livestream, leaving the audience dumbfounded.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan¡¯s livestream ended, there were already many posts about her.

    What was most discussed was how wealthy Xia Wanyuan was.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know that her live broadcast had refreshed everyone¡¯s understanding of money.

    On the way to the Jun Corporation, Xia Wanyuan received a call from An Rao.

    Over the past few days, An Rao and Bo Xiao had been flirting with each other and rarely called Xia Wanyuan.

    An Rao said mysteriously, ¡°Sister, let me secretly ask you a question.¡±,

 Chapter 691 - President Jun Buys Fans

    <h4>Chapter 691: President Jun Buys Fans</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s tone, Xia Wanyuan felt that An Rao was about to cause trouble again.

    Indeed, in the next second,

    ¡°Sister, Bo Xiao is going overseas to take on a mission soon. I want to do something for him. Do you have any good suggestions?¡±

    ]¡±Yourself.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± An Rao did not react.

    ¡°Give yourself to him.¡± Xia Wanyuan returned the exact words An Rao had once said to her. It had to be said that this suggestion, as a bystander, was rather interesting.

    ¡°... This isn¡¯t good, right? Won¡¯t it make me seem too unreserved?¡± An Rao tried her best to maintain her cold image.

    ¡°No,¡± Xia Wanyuan said calmly. ¡°You¡¯re not reserved at all anyway.¡±

    ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t love me anymore.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and suggested seriously, ¡°As long as your heart is with him, he will be happy no matter what you do for him.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao was about to hang up when she suddenly thought of Xiao Bao. ¡®Sister, when are you going to send your little cutie to y with me for two days? I haven¡¯t seen him in a long time. I miss him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan said: Anytime is fine. I have two clingy people at home, one big and one small. If they take one away, it¡¯ll be much easier for me. It¡¯s best if they take both away.

    However, the probability of getting rid of the big one was zero.

    It was rare for Jun Shiling to end the meeting ten minutes early today. When everyone saw Jun Shilings expression, they knew that thedy boss of the Jun Corporation wasing today.

    The executives gradually left the meeting room. The head of the public rtions department walked to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°President Jun, the scandal today has been resolved. I won¡¯t let Mrs Jun misunderstand.¡±

    The head of department then showed Jun Shiling the Weibo page.

    The official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation swiftly responded to theizens¡¯ heated discussion about Jun Shiling¡¯s ount entering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream.

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°Due to thepany¡¯s employees¡¯ mistake, we identally logged into President Jun¡¯s ount and have now suspended the employee. We are deeply sorry for the impact of this incident. Everyone, please stop spreading rumors. If there is any serious damage to the reputation of the Jun Corporation, we will file awsuit.¡±

    Once this official statement was released, who would dare to discuss Jun Shiling entering the livestream room? The Jun Corporation¡¯s legal department was famous for being a sure winner. If they dared to go against them, wouldn¡¯t they be tired of living?

    Hence, some of the Weibo andments that had spected about the rtionship between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling disappeared in an instant, leaving only the screen full of the ¡°Great Summer Pact¡±.

    The head of the public rtions department looked at the rification statement he had written. It was clear, logical, rigorous, and full of deterrence. It was effective within minutes.

    The department head felt that President Jun¡¯s praise was already at his lips.

    Lin Jing adjusted his sses and nced at the proud department head. Then, he looked at the expressionless Jun Shiling and his mouth twitched.

    Sure enough, in the next second, he said, ¡°Well done. I¡¯ll leave the Lin Group¡¯s PR case to you.¡±

    The department head¡¯s heart sank. I didn¡¯t want to take on that project! However, when he met Jun Shilings gaze, the public rtions department head could only force a smile. ¡°Alright, President Jun, I will definitelyplete my task.¡±

    Jun Shiling took out his cell phone to take a 100k, There were fewer and fewer fans Of ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± <sup>i</sup>s, After a round of legal intimidation by the public rtions department head, Jun Shiling suspected that he might be the only one left in the entire ultrabole.

    On the other hand, the number of people in the ¡°Summer Pact¡± next door was skyrocketing.

    Lin Jing, who earned millions of dors early and could do everything and was great at observing people, stood up. ¡°President Jun, you can buy fans on Weibo.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at his phone for a while and frowned. ¡°Ok.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Jing nodded respectfUlly, then went to contact thepany that sold fans.

    Five minutester, close to a million fans directly poured into the ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± ultrabole, directly pushing this ultrabole to the top of the list.

    After that, the fans of other families sessfully boycotted ¡°Sovereign Summer¡±.

    how to make chicken soup for the soul, the rest were all anti-fans.

    Xia Wanyuan went to the office to apany Jun Shiling for lunch. After resting for a while, she went straight to the set.

    After filming, Director Wang Wei brought over an invitation.

    ¡°Wanyuan, this is an invitation from Dahua Film Company. The people attending this g are all leading figures in the industry. You have to prepare well.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it. She knew that Dahua Film Company dominated nearly 70% of the domestic film market.

    Logically speaking, a rookie like Xia Wanyuan should not have received such an invitation. Why would he give me this for no reason?

 Chapter 692 - An Raoâ€™s Gift

    <h4>Chapter 692 An Rao¡¯s Gift</h4>

    ¡°Wanyuan, I don¡¯t know what conflict you have with Shi Tian, but don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m a reasonable person, I help people in the right, not those who are close to me. If she does anything bad to you, just tell me.¡± Although Director Wang Wei was a straightforward man, he was not stupid.

    When he was reviewing the video, he clearly saw the force of Shi Tian¡¯s p. If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s quick reaction, her face would have been ruined.

    ¡°Director, I¡¯m very happy to hear that. It¡¯s fine. What scenes do I have in the afternoon?¡±

    ¡°There are still a few scenes in the afternoon. Let me exin them to you.¡± Wang Wei had said what he needed to say, so he did not dwell on it and focused on exining the scenes to Xia Wanyuan.

    Not far away, Chen Xiaoguo saw that Director Wang Wei was patiently exining the scene to Xia Wan Yuan and was displeased. ¡°Aunt, isn¡¯t this Director Wang Wei your old ssmate? He never taught me so patiently. Look at how well he treats Xia Wan Yuan.¡± ¡°If he doesn¡¯t want to teach you, go ask him. For my sake, he will teach you.¡± Shi Tian sipped her drink, feeling dissatisfied with her old ssmate, Wang Wei.

    ¡°Forget it, Aunt. Have you prepared your person? I hate Xia Wanyuan to death. When are we going to get her to scram from the production team?¡± With no one around, Chen Xiaoguo no longer concealed her thoughts.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, tomorrow¡¯s banquet will definitely make her look good.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s glowing white face under the sunlight, jealousy shed across Shi Tian¡¯s eyes. This young and beautiful face was perfect for being nailed to the darkness of maggots.

    Just like her manager Tang Yin, she would forever fall into hell and never be reincarnated.

    ¡ª

    ¡ª

    At the apartment, An Rao hung up the phone. After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of what to send Bo Xiao.

    They had been living together for the past few days, but Bo Xiao had been sleeping on the sofa.

    In the beginning, Bo Xiao had tried to fight for the right to sleep in the bedroom with An Rao. Despite Bo Xiao¡¯s repeated promises, he was still rejected.

    It was funny how Bo Xiao spoke without thinking. He usually drove faster than anyone else, but when he lived with An Rao, he was really more well-behaved than anyone else.

    At night, he would sleep fully clothed. When An Rao came out to pour water, Bo Xiao would look as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Those who did not know would think that An Rao was a pervert.

    An Rao thought about it. She didn¡¯t know how long it would take for Bo Xiao to return. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made sense. Recently, she had specially allowed him to sleep in the master bedroom.

    As usual, Bo Xiao took a shower after returning to the apartment and prepared to sleep on the sofa.

    ¡°An Rao, where¡¯s the pillow? Where did you

    put it?¡±

    An Rao poked her head out of the bedroom and waved at Bo Xiao. ¡°Here.¡±

    Bo Xiao walked into the bedroom suspiciously and realized that his pillow was ced on the bed beside An Rao¡¯s pillow.

    ¡°¡­ What are you up to?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going overseas? I¡¯ll let you sleep with me these few days, but you¡¯re not allowed to go overboard.¡±

    ¡°¡­ No.¡± Bo Xiao almostughed out loud at An Rao¡¯s weird way of thinking.

    ¡°Huh?¡± An Rao was stunned. She thought Bo Xiao would like it.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have such good endurance. You¡¯re so stupid. Who did you learn to be so bad from?¡± Bo Xiao gently patted An Rao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan taught me.¡± An Rao decisively betrayed her teammate.

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Why would Sister-inw teach you all this?¡± Bo Xiao did not believe her at all. In his eyes, Xia Wanyuan was someone who had never been part of the mortal world.

    ncing helplessly at An Rao, Bo Xiao reached out to pick up the pillow and the nket, preparing to sleep outside.

    However, halfway through, she turned around. Behind her, a corner of the nket was grabbed by An Rao.

    ¡°Aiya, I¡¯ll tell you the truth. I can¡¯t bear to leave you, alright? I want you to sleep with me, okay?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao pitifully.

    She seemed to have a big heart, but she liked Bo Xiao very much and had been with him for so long. Now that Bo Xiao was leaving, An Rao felt very upset. ¡°Sigh.¡± Bo Xiao finally sighed and rubbed An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Sure, little ancestor.¡±

 Chapter 693 - Sister, Not Clean

    <h4>Chapter 693 Sister, Not Clean</h4>

    An Rao was happy now. She jumped onto the bed and patted the spot beside her. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Bo Xiao slept beside her, but his body was tense and he did not approach An Rao.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, are you afraid that I¡¯ll eat you?¡± Seeing Bo Xiao¡¯s resistance, An Rao was unhappy. She saw that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling would stick together sweetly wherever they went, but Bo Xiao was different.

    Back then, when they were overseas, Bo Xiao would often kiss and hug her. When they returned to the country, Bo Xiao would usually stop at the right time, making her seem impatient.

    Bo Xiaoughed at An Rao¡¯s aggrieved look. ¡°Why are you feeling aggrieved?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    ¡°Come here.¡± Bo Xiao had no choice but to reach out to An Rao, who happily snuggled into his embrace.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, how long are you going to be gone for?¡± As they were about to part, An Rao suddenly felt that she shouldn¡¯t have been bickering with Bo Xiao these past few days. Now that she thought about it, there were still many things she hadn¡¯t told him.

    ¡°If it¡¯s fast, half a month. If it¡¯s slow, I¡¯m not sure.¡± Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s hair. ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t apany you anymore.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can go y with Yuan Yuan and wait for your return.¡± An Rao looked up.¡± Come back early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao nodded and rubbed An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Go to sleep.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Huh?¡± An Rao was a little confused. He¡¯s sleeping just like that?

    Although she had never thought of going further with Bo Xiao, he did not even kiss her sweetly before falling asleep.

    Based on An Rao¡¯s many years of experience with CEO literature, this was not right. An Rao looked down at her curvaceous figure in a simple T-shirt, then looked up at Bo Xiao, her eyes full of suspicion.

    Bo Xiao knew what An Rao was thinking when he saw her expression. He pinched An Rao¡¯s face angrily. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking about all day.¡±

    An Rao pursed her lips. ¡°I saw on a WeChat public ount that when people first got together, it was the sweetest. In the future, it will be more and more dull. We¡¯re all like this now. What will happen in the future?¡±

    Bo Xiao rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and suddenly shifted An Rao to a seat.

    An Rao suddenly stopped struggling. ¡°Now do you know why I want to sleep early?¡± Bo Xiao ced his right hand on An Rao¡¯s waist. He was wondering why this woman¡¯s waist was so damn thin.

    An Rao was as red as a cooked prawn as she blinked at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Got it. Go to sleep. I¡¯m tired.¡± An Rao said as she got down.

    However, Bo Xiao grabbed her arm. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Let me slow it down.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Raoy obediently in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms, feeling rather pleased. ¡°Bo Xiao, do you like me a lot?¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°Of course.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you like about me?¡± An Rao ced her hands on the side and looked at Bo Xiao with anticipation.

    ¡°I like that you¡¯re stupid and dumb.¡± Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, An Rao had already pounced on him angrily. Bo Xiao grabbed An Rao¡¯s hand helplessly. ¡°Alright, alright.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the stupid one, you¡¯re the dumb one.¡± An Rao hammered Bo Xiao. Other people¡¯s boyfriends sweet-talked them everyday, but when it came to Bo Xiao, he wanted to anger her to death every day.

    The more An Rao thought about it, the more ufortable she felt. She tilted her head and bit Bo Xiao¡¯s neck.

    She thought Bo Xiao would push her down, but he did not. Instead, he tightened his grip on her waist.

    ¡°B * tch, do you really have to torture me today?!¡± Bo Xiao said as he turned over. ¡°You¡¯re responsible for extinguishing the fire you started.¡±

    ¡°Y-you, didn¡¯t you say that you won¡¯t touch me for the time being?¡± An Rao was just being cheeky.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were red, making him look devilish handsome.

    ¡°Huh?¡± An Rao was scared silly by the evil Bo Xiao.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m not a gentleman. How dare you bring my pillow over? I can¡¯t put out the fire today. It¡¯s up to you.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­..

    Xia Wanyuan went out to y for a few days and umted a pile of homework. After dinner, she buried her head in the study.

    Jun Shiling knew that she was busy, so he didn¡¯t rush her.

    The night sky was filled with stars, and in the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. Xia Wanyuan hadpleted a bunch of projects that her senior colleague had left for her and was about to go to bed when she received a call from An Rao.

    An Rao was crying and the first thing she said was.

    ¡°Sister! I¡¯m not clean anymore!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that her psychological quality had always been good, but at this moment, she was still speechless.

 Chapter 694 - The Party Is About to Begin

    <h4>Chapter 694 The Party Is About to Begin</h4>

    An Rao continued to cry, and Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Has the deed been done?¡±

    ¡°¡­ No, but Bo Xiao was too much. He told me to¡­¡± An Rao was not guarded against Xia Wanyuan at all and immediately wanted to tell her what Bo Xiao had done to her. ¡°Stop.¡± It was Xia Wanyuan who stopped her in time. She did not want to hear the details of Bo Xiao and An Rao. ¡°It¡¯s not like you¡¯ve gone all the way. What are you panicking about?¡± ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t love me anymore.¡± An Rao was unhappy. ¡°Sleep early.¡± Xia Wanyuan packed her things, ¡°Little dumpling misses you. Come over for dinner the day after tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Wow, okay!¡± Thinking of the fair and clean little dumpling, An Rao was happy again. ¡°Sister, I heard that someone in your production team is making things difficult for you. Are you alright?¡±.

    The entertainment circle was a circle. If something happened, as long as it was not deliberately concealed, it would spread very quickly. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never paid much attention to Shi Tian and Chen Xiaoguo. ¡°Alright, go to bed early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao hung up reluctantly.

    She dawdled back to the bedroom. Bo Xiao had already taken a shower and was wearing a smile that An Rao thought was very annoying.

    ¡°Take the pillow away.¡± An Rao pointed to the sofa outside.

    If it were two hours ago, Bo Xiao might have left with a pillow.

    But now, Bo Xiao went forward to pick An Rao up and throw her into the nket. He ced An Rao¡¯s hand on his waist and kissed her on the cheek.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already slept together. We¡¯ve been an old couple for so long, why are you so shy? Go to sleep.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±An Rao wanted to bite Bo Xiao, but when she thought of the consequences of biting him not long ago, she could only grit her teeth.

    ¡°Still not sleeping?¡± Bo Xiao looked down at An Rao whose eyes were still open. ¡°Do it again?¡±

    An Rao immediately closed her eyes. Bo Xiao smiled and nted a gentle kiss on her eyelids.

    ¡°Stupid.¡±

    An Rao was about to retort when she heard another ¡°I love you to death¡±.

    The corners of An Rao¡¯s lips could not help but curl up. She moved closer to Bo Xiao, who smiled and hugged her tightly.

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked out of the study. In the bedroom, Jun Shiling was still reading. Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, he put down the things in his hands. ¡°Are you done?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and yawned. ¡°I¡¯m so tired.¡±

    However, the habit she had developed over a long period of time made her not look for a bed when she was sleepy. Instead, she threw herself into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Let¡¯s sleep.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wan Yuan¡¯s back and carried her to the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan was overly at ease by Jun Shiling¡¯s side. She fell asleep as soon as she got onto the bed. Jun Shiling quietly watched Xia Wanyuan fall asleep before slowly closing his eyes.

    Since Tang Yin had been given leave by Xia Wanyuan, all of Xia Huanyuan¡¯s activities were now on Chen Yun¡¯s shoulders.

    As she had to attend Dahua Film and Television¡¯s g, Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor after filming in the morning.

    Mu Feng was still half-asleep as he helped Xia Wanyuan with her styling. Before he left, he scanned her from head to toe.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know how to control yourself when you know you¡¯re attending a g. Do you know how much concealer you¡¯ve wasted?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan could not retort this. It was all Jun Shiling¡¯s fault.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Mu Feng pursed his lips. ¡°Why did Dahua Film and Television invite you to attend the g? How did you manage to squeeze in with your small status?¡±

    There was something strange about this.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be careful, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Mu Feng was reminding her, so she thanked him.

    The mission waspleted, and the reminder was given. Mu Feng snapped his fingers. ¡°Bye.¡±

    At this moment, there were already people arriving at the venue.

    If Dahua Entertainment was just a big shot in the film industry, then this g would probably only be a lively gathering. It wouldn¡¯t have any other meaning.

    However, the real controller of Dahua Film Company was actually the few big families in the capital.

    As a result, this g had actually be the ce where the various forces shed.

    <h4>Chapter 695 The Princess became a Wine-Pourer</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan arrived earlier and found a seat in the corner. However, her outstanding looks and aura attracted the attention of many.

    ¡°Brother, I¡¯m talking to you. What are you looking at? Can you listen to me carefully?¡± Wang Yuan held Wang Ting¡¯s hand as they walked into the venue. She had been talking to Wang Ting for a long time, but he did not respond.

    Wang Yuan followed Wang Ting¡¯s gaze and saw a familiar figure.

    It was Xia Wanyuan, who had caused her to spend over ten million yuan at the watch shop that day.

    Which family¡¯s daughter is this? I haven¡¯t seen her much in the Beijing circle.¡± Wang Ting¡¯s eyes were filled with amazement as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. She was truly beautiful. ¡°Pfft, what rich girl? She¡¯s just a small celebrity. Her family can¡¯t even touch the gates of the capital,¡± Wang Yuan said scornfully.

    ¡°Really?¡± Wang Ting¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard what Wang Yuan said. A small celebrity? Then this matter would be easy to handle.

    Wang Yuan nced at Wang Ting¡¯s expression and smiled. She knew her brother¡¯s personality too well. If Xia Wanyuan fell into his hands, she would probably be half-dead when she left the house.

    Xia Wanyuan chatted on WeChat, asionally raising her head to look at the crowd. She really did see quite a few familiar faces.

    The Wei family actually sent Wei Xian over. The Wei family had a high status and sat in the middle of the first row.

    Director Zhang Mou, whom she had met at dinner with Director Wang Wei, was also present.

    Shi Tian was dressed to the nines. She was apanying a middle-aged man, chatting andughing. From her expression, she looked very respectful.

    As far as the eye could see, it was called a film and television g. However, there were not many people in the entertainment industry. It was more like a business meeting. The people in the entertainment industry were just decorations.

    Rich businessmen gathered at the venue. Although Xia Wanyuan was pretty, most people took the opportunity to build connections. Xia Wanyuan ended up in a quiet corner. Leaning back in her chair, Xia Wanyuan looked at the time and suddenly felt like going back. This evening party was really boring. She had just sent a message to Jun Shiling when someone sat beside her.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. My name is Wang Ting. Nice to meet you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw a pair of lustful eyes staring intently at her. Xia Wanyuan nced at the hand in front of her and retracted her gaze. She had no intention of shaking hands with Wang Ting.

    Wang Ting was not annoyed. On the contrary, he liked this Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aloof tone. ¡°Miss Xia, this banquet is organized by our family. Seeing that you are not familiar with this ce, I¡¯ll bring you to get to know the people here, right?¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Xia Wanyuan finally spoke. Her cold voice made Wang Ting look at her even more infatuated.

    Wang Ting continued to talk to Xia Wanyuan, but no matter what he said, Xia Wanyuan ignored him, as if this person did not exist.

    This time, Wang Ting was infuriated. He was the young master of the Wang family and had never been treated like this before. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obstinate manner, he flicked his sleeves and left.

    Wang Yuan saw this scene from afar. When Wang Ting approached, she whispered something into his ear. Wang Ting¡¯s expression turned from gloomy to bright. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re still the best to Brother.¡±

    The g began. Dahua Film and Television summarized the results of recent years and the situation of the film industry this year.

    On the big screen was a pile of business data. Xia Wanyuan was enjoying it. Dahua Films spent about an hour summarizing the data and nning the future.

    ¡°Wee to the g. Dahua Film and Television has prepared dinner in the hall. Please follow the staffs lead and take your seats.¡±

    As the host spoke, the door at the back of the venue opened. Opposite them was a magnificent banquet hall.

    ¡°Miss Xia, please follow me.¡± A young man in a suit stood beside Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up. She knew that there was more to this banquet than meets the eye. Since the other party had set a trap for her, she would go along with it and walk into the trap.

    ¡°Miss Xia, this is your seat.¡± The staff respectfully pulled out a chair for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the seat thoughtfully, then calmly sat down.

    The originally bustling crowd in the hall quieted down at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions.

    The reason was simple. Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the main table of the banquet hall. Only the core members could sit there.

    Facing everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Xia Wanyuan was not afraid at all.

    ¡°Boss Qian, you must be joking. I¡¯m already old. Tonight, I¡¯ll give you a big gift. That would be really beautiful.¡± Shi Tian walked into the banquet hall with the biggest shareholder behind Dahua Entertainment. ¡°Look, she¡¯s right beside your seat.¡±

    Qian Li looked in the direction Shi Tian was pointing and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Xiao Tian, I will think about the business you mentioned when I get back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Boss Qian, you¡¯re straightforward.¡± Shi Tian smiled.

    When Qian Li walked into the banquet hall, everyone came over to greet him. Except for Xia Huayuan, who was seated at the dining table, she remained seated and did not even look away.

    Qian Li sat next to Xia Huayuan. Shi Tian also sat next to Qian Li. Wei Xian also sat at the table.

    Wei Xian nced at Xia Wanyuan and hesitated. Could it be that Old Madam had already revealed Xia Huanyuan¡¯s identity to others?

    Otherwise, how could a small celebrity like her be qualified to sit here?

    But soon, Wei Xian dispelled her doubts.

    The staff ced the wine pot in front of Xia Huanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, please help the guests at this table pour wine.¡±

    Everyone now knew that this beautiful woman was not the daughter of a noble family, but merely here to drink with them.

 Chapter 696 - The Cool Princess Wrecking the Venue

    <h4>Chapter 696 The Cool Princess Wrecking the Venue</h4>

    Wang Yuan and Wang Ting were only juniors and could not sit at the main table. Looking at the situation at the main table from afar, Wang Ting felt regretful. This beauty probably could not be eaten.

    Judging from the look in Qian Lei¡¯s eyes, it was likely that he had taken a liking to Xia Wan¡¯er. Xia Wanyuan was so cold and aloof in front of Wang Ting, but it turned out that she had been prepared for Qian Lei.

    Although Zhang Mou was a top-notch director in the film and television industry, he did not have much status in front of capital. He thought highly of the good seedling Xia Wanyuan, but seeing the situation at the main table, he could only feel anxious.

    At the main table, Xia Wanyuan nced at the wine pot in front of her, then looked up at Shi Tian. Seeing the smug look on her face, she stood up and walked over to Shi Tian with the wine pot. ¡°Miss Xia, do you know the rules? This first ss of wine should be poured to Boss Qian.¡± Shi Tian looked at Xia Huanyuan scornfully.

    Xia Wanyuan did not say a word. She simply picked up the wine pot and poured it into the cup in front of Shi Tian. Even when the wine was full, Xia Wanyuan did not stop. The wine flowed out from the table. Shi Tian hurriedly stood up, preventing the wine from dripping onto her.

    ¡°You!¡± Shi Tian raised her hand to p Xia Wanyuan. This little b * tch was deliberately making things difficult for me.

    Qian Li, who was standing at the side, looked at Xia Wanyuan for a long time before he seemed toe back to her senses and said, ¡°Xiao Tian, you can be considered Xiao Xia¡¯s senior. For my sake, please forgive her, ah.¡±

    Shi Tian red at Xia Wanyuan and withdrew her hand, since Qian Li had already said so.

    Everyone thought that this matter was over and was caught off guard, when a crisp p resounded throughout the hall.

    Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s raised hand in shock, as well as Shi Tian¡¯s face with five finger marks.

    ¡°Miss Xia, aren¡¯t you being too arrogant?¡± Director Wang went forward to check on Shi Tian¡¯s injuries. When he looked at Xia Wanyuan again, his eyes were full of me.

    This little celebrity was too insensible and arrogant. ¡°Miss Shi knows better than me why she was beaten.¡± Xia Wanyuan flexed her wrist. ¡°I¡¯m just giving her a taste of her own medicine.¡±

    ¡°What a hot-tempered girl.¡± Qian Liang looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile and his heart skipped a beat. I like her hot temper.

    Qian Liughed out loud. ¡°Come, Wanyuan, it¡¯s not right for you to p your senior in public. Today, on my ount, both parties will be punished with five sses each. Let¡¯s forget about this matter, alright?¡±

    ¡°Your face? What face do you have?¡± Xia Wanyuan shot Qian Li a cold nce. Since these people had set her up to fall into this trap, they shouldn¡¯t me her for wrecking the entire ce.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were like a thunderp that struck everyone¡¯s hearts, causing them to tremble involuntarily.

    This is it, everyone thought.

    Sure enough, the next second, Qian Li¡¯s expression changed.

    He did like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personality, but as a woman, it was fine to be a little fierce. If she was so fierce that she made him lose face in front of everyone, then she would have to pay the price.

    To be able to be friends with Shi Tian¡¯s father for so many years, Qian Li was not a good person. A few tall people walked into the hall.

    ¡°Come, Little Tian, sit down. Let¡¯s have a drink with Miss Xia. Let¡¯s all drink together.¡± Qian Li smiled and raised his ss to everyone. Shi Tian sat down as well. Her face was swollen, and she looked at Xia Wan Yuan with a venomous gaze. Xia Wanyuan did not move. Qian Li signaled with his eyes, and the person beside him walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a wine ss in hand. ¡°Miss Xia, drink this ss of wine.¡± With that said, he was unstoppable and wanted to pour the wine down Xia Wanyuan¡¯s throat. In this circle, everyone had seen this sort of thing many times. In their hearts, they felt pity for Xia Wanyuan. They pitied this girl. They did not know how she would be tortured today.

    However, in the next second, there was a deafening sound. Everyone looked at the main table with their wine sses and were dumbfounded.

    The person who had poured the wine for Xia Wanyuan was thrown onto the main table by Xia Wanyuan. Rice, bowls, and dishes flew everywhere.

    They were supposed to be the most respectable people in the venue, but at this moment, they were all covered in vegetable soup.

    Everyone was stunned. They only had one thought in their minds.

    What a ruthless person.

 Chapter 697 - Let the Princess Strip In Public

    <h4>Chapter 697 Let the Princess Strip In Public</h4>

    As they were attending a banquet tonight, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a ck evening gown. In front of the debris-filled dining table, Xia Wanyuan stood quietly. It was inexplicably frightening.

    Everyone took a look and hurriedly retracted their gazes. Those big shots had been reduced to such a sorry state by Xia Wanyuan. It was possible that this little celebrity¡¯s blood would be spilled on the spotter. They did not want to be cannon fodder for being implicated.

    The staff rushed forward to offer Qian Li a handkerchief to wipe it. The rest of the staff rushed forward and grabbed at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan kicked off her high heels and picked up a bottle of red wine on the table. Half a minuteter, with Xia Wanyuan as the center, a circle of peopley around them.

    Xia Wanyuan stood on the ground with a wine bottle in her hand. Her ck hair fluttered in the wind, exuding an air of disdain and ruthlessness.

    The guests around the main table were so frightened that they hid to the side. Wei Xian and the others were also so frightened by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fierce technique that they hid to the back.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Qian Li¡¯s face twitched. He looked at Xia Wanyuan and apuded. ¡°Everyone is tired today. Go back early. Miss Xia, you can stay.¡±

    The others took their bags and left once Qian Li said this.

    Although it was very lively and interesting, it could also cost their lives.

    Soon, most of the people in the venue had left. A group of well-trained bodyguards walked in.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you will kneel here today and drink this pot of wine. Then, we will forget about this matter,¡± Qian Li said as he wiped his hands slowly with a handkerchief.

    ¡°What if I don¡¯t drink it?¡± Xia Wanyuan threw the wine bottle to the side and pulled a chair over to sit on. She was even more rxed than Qian Fei, as if this was a ce for afternoon tea.

    Director Wang watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions and was impressed. This youngdy was calm, but she had offended someone she shouldn¡¯t have.

    ¡°Youngdy, to be honest, I really like your character. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re too hard and easy to break. From now on, you¡¯ll follow me and I¡¯ll teach you what the rules are.¡± Qian Li waved his hand and a subordinate beside him handed her a box.

    Qian Hui signaled Shi Tian with his eyes. Shi Tian took the box and took out a pink maid outfit. She gave Xia Huayuan a disdainful look before throwing the outfit at her.

    ¡°Put it on. Change here.¡±

    Wei Xian, who was standing at the side, felt that something was amiss when she saw this scene.

    She wanted to see Xia Wanyuan make a fool of herself, but if the olddy knew that she was present and did not stop her, she was afraid that the olddy would me her. Hence, she frowned.

    ¡°CEO Qian, CEO Wang, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m feeling a little dizzy. I¡¯ll get going first, we¡¯ll meet again next time.¡±

    ¡°Alright, please take care of yourself, President Wei.¡± Although Wei Xian was not the head of the household, as a member of the Wei family, everyone present had to give her some face. They stood up and sent her off.

    At this moment, the only people left in the banquet hall were those close to Qian Li.

    The maid outfit was still draped on Xia Huanyuan¡¯s body. The men present looked at her strangely. ¡°Since Ms. Xia doesn¡¯t want to wear it, you can help her.¡± Shi Tian looked at the bodyguards beside her. The bodyguards immediately walked out.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had been too valiant just now, everyone had learned their lesson. They each picked up arge red wine bottle.

    More than ten people surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    But Xia Wanyuan did not seem afraid at all. She even changed her sitting posture. ¡°CEO Qian, this is illegal, right?¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, the entire audience burst intoughter.

    What did thew count for? The people standing here all had a lot of capital behind them, so thew all had to give in before them.

    ¡°Miss Xia, naivety is a good thing. Today, not only can I let you change into this set of clothes in public, I can even make you disappear without a trace. No one will suspect anything. Do you believe me?¡± Qian Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in amusement.

    It was ridiculous to discussw with him after entering the circle of power.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head and threw the maid outfit on Shi Tian. ¡°This outfit suits you better.¡±

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Remove her clothes for me!¡± Shi Tian hated Xia Wanyuan to the core and immediately shouted.

    This time, the bodyguards did not hesitate and swarmed forward.

 Chapter 698 - CEO Jun Rushed Over Princess Felt Wronged

    <h4>Chapter 698 CEO Jun Rushed Over Princess Felt Wronged</h4>

    Shi Tian looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unperturbed expression andughed coldly in her heart. Tonight, when Qian Li was done ying with her, I would not have thest name Shi if I didn¡¯t let Xia Wanyuan try what it means to be ridden by thousands of people.

    Just as everyone was waiting to see Xia Wanyuan strip naked,

    The banquet hall¡¯s door was knocked open.

    An entire group of guards that seemed to be surging with killing intent rushed in with loaded guns.

    ¡°Who are you?! Do you know where this is?! Get out!¡± Shi Tian clenched her fists and signaled the bodyguards to continue. ¡°Continue. Strip her.¡±

    However, in the next second, a figure strode in from the entrance, carrying with him an imposing aura. Even though they were separated by the entire banquet hall, it made people inexplicably feel oppressed.

    Qian Li, who was sitting on the chair, stood up immediately when he saw the person walking in.

    ¡°CEO Jun?! Why is CEO Jun here?¡± Qian Fei had some power behind him. He didn¡¯t know much about Jun Shiling, but almost everyone in high positions had warned him not to provoke Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hurry up and make CEO Jun a cup of good tea!¡± Although President Wang was a businessman, he was used to observing people¡¯s expressions. He quickly smiled and asked someone to make tea for Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling walked over, ignoring everyone¡¯s fawning. He walked over to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan looked at the cold-faced Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes. She had to admit that Jun Shiling was really handsome at this moment.

    Xia Wanyuan extended her hand to Jun Shiling, who picked her up and sat her down.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high heels were a hindrance, and she was barefoot when she fought. Jun Shiling took out a handkerchief from his pocket and patiently wiped the dust off her feet.

    Then he wrapped his hands around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet and warmed her with the warmth of his palms.

    Everyone was dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan an unremarkable celebrity?! How did she get involved with Jun Shiling? Moreover, it seemed like Jun Shiling doted on her a lot.

    ¡°CEO Jun, what are you doing here?¡± Qian Li realized that something was wrong.

    What kind of person was Jun Shiling? He would actually wipe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet and warm her feet with his hands. This rtionship was too abnormal.

    ¡°Is Dahua Film and Television¡¯s g for pimping?¡± Jun Shiling ignored Qian Li and looked at Director Wang beside him.

    Xia Wanyuan had told him that she would attend Dahua¡¯s g, but he had not thought much about it. He had not expected the g to be held in such a manner. Jun Shiling was furious and seeing that Xia Wanyuan had fought with someone, he did not know if she was injured.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯ve misunderstood. We were just joking with Miss Xia.¡± Director Wang broke out in cold sweat. If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to Shi Tian¡¯s request. He was done for.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the group of people who had been acting all high and mighty earlier. She wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck.

    ¡°They want to force me to drink and hit me. She wants me to change into a maid¡¯s outfit in public,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she pointed at Shi Tian.

    When he saw the pink maid costume on Shi Tian, Jun Shiling¡¯s temperature dropped to a freezing point.

    ¡°This person still wants me to disappear.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at Qian Li under everyone¡¯s fearful gazes and put on a pitiful expression. ¡°They¡¯re all bullying me, I¡¯m scared.¡±

    Everyone was confused.

    Beauty, can you speak the truth? Who can bully you? The blood-stained wine bottles on the floor were all someone else¡¯s blood.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly, then looked at Qian Li and Shi Tian. ¡°I¡¯ll help you bully them back.¡±

 Chapter 699 - An Raoâ€™s Taunt

    <h4>Chapter 699 An Rao¡¯s Taunt</h4>

    As soon as Jun Shiling finished speaking, the bodyguards behind him went forward and grabbed the few of them. The bodyguards kicked them and they all knelt on the ground.

    ¡°CEI Jun, I¡¯m a member of the Qian family after all. Aren¡¯t you going too far by doing this?¡± Qian Li was always treated with respect wherever he went. When had he ever received such treatment? He immediately forgot all the entrustments others had given him and looked at Jun Shiling indignantly. ¡°So what if it¡¯s the Qian family?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression did not change at all. He looked down at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Are you hungry?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. They had said it was a banquet, but she had not eaten a single dish. She was already hungry.

    Jun Shiling simply picked Xia Wanyuan up and walked straight out the door. The sudden screams from inside the house were buried by the closed door.

    Sitting in the car, Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan patiently wear her socks. Xia Wanyuan rubbed her feet against Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°CEO Jun, you look so handsome just

    now.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused when Xia Wanyuan nudged him, then looked up at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You fighting with people every day worries me.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t they the ones who sent themselves here?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Besides, I¡¯m not injured.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her helplessly. Anyway, it was useless to say anything more. Jun Shiling did not want to nag anymore. At most, he would protect Xia Wanyuan more in the future.

    The next morning, something big happened in the capital.

    The head of the Qian Family had actually changed!! Qian Li had abdicated and his younger brother was in charge of the Qian Family.

    Qian Li had been in charge for a long time and no one believed that the Qian family had changed overnight. Those who attended the banquet the day before all thought that they would hear news of Xia Wanyuanmitting suicide the next day and Xia Wanyuan bing a mistress. Who would have thought that they would hear the news of Qian Huai¡¯s abdication? The others did not think of Xia Wanyuan at all. After all, this matter was too big. No one felt that it would have anything to do with Xia Wanyuan. Everyone only felt that Xia Wanyuan was quite lucky to have escaped this cmity.

    Director Wang of Dahua Entertainment, on the other hand, was not in much trouble. However, the next day at work, he had someonee up with a few proposals to oppose the public opinion. No matter how the other directors objected, Director Wang insisted on buying the broadcast rights for all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works.

    Even Director Wang was prepared to show Dark Night, that had not been filmed finish.

    Chen Xiaoguo happily arrived at the set, only to find Xia Wanyuan sitting under a tree,pletely unharmed, as if nothing had happened.

    Chen Xiaoguo was puzzled. Could it be that Aunt did not seedst night? She took out her phone and called Shi Tian. However, the phone was switched off.

    It was only when filming started that Director Wang Wei announced to everyone that Shi Tian would no longer be acting as Second Mother Wang. Her previous scenes needed to be reshot.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Wanyuan. It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Director Wang Wei was a little angry at his old ssmate for standing him up. She had gone too far by saying that she would quit the show, as she did not consider the feelings of the rest of the crew.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be fine, Director.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s understanding made Director Wang Wei¡¯s evaluation of her even higher.

    Chen Xiaoguo felt that something had happened, but she could not contact Shi Tian. She was panicking, and many things had gone wrong during filming. She was criticized by Director Wang Wei.

    After making an appointment with Xia Wanyuan to visit Xiao Bao at the manor, An Rao arrived at the set very early. She sat at the side and saw Chen Xiaoguo acting coyly. When she thought of the gossip that Chen Yun had talked to her about, her voice instantly became louder.

    ¡°With such stiff acting skills, she can even enter the production team of ¡®Dark Night¡¯? She must have used connections, right? Spreading rice over there, even a chicken knows how to move. Sigh, I¡¯ve seen too much of our Yuan Yuan¡¯s acting. Look at all these, tsk tsk tsk.¡±

    An Rao was famous in the entertainment industry for being a rose with thorns. Once she said this, no one dared to argue with her. Director Wang Wei heard it too and felt a little guilty. After all, ording to his standards, Chen Xiaoguo really could not enter the production team. If not for his old ssmate, he would have given up on guiding Chen Xiaoguo.

 Chapter 700 - Wife Doting Examination

    <h4>Chapter 700 Wife Doting Examination</h4>

    Chen Xiaoguo was angered by An Rao¡¯s words and her face turned pale. She looked pitifully at the staff around her as usual, but no one was willing to speak up for her.

    Xia Wanyuan had a cold personality, so she would not bicker with them about anything they said.

    But An Rao was different. Everyone knew that An Rao had once quarreled with thepany¡¯s boss at a press conference. They did not dare to approach An Rao.

    An Rao also saw Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s pitiful look and pursed her lips. ¡°In the past, I thought that only those with good looks could be b*tches. Now, I¡¯ve seen it for myself. She looks like a melon, yet she wants to be b*tch. Is she trying to transcend species?¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Chen Yun stood behind An Rao and could not help butugh out loud. No wonder Xia Wanyuan did not allow An Rao to visit the production team. If An Rao came to visit the production team, the production team would probably be flipped upside down. The others could not hold back theirughter. Chen Xiaoguo noticed everyone¡¯s strange gazes and looked at An Rao angrily. ¡°You!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± An Rao looked at Chen Xiaoguo in surprise. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything about you. You¡¯re so young, but your acting skills aren¡¯t that good. However, you¡¯re pretty good at making connections to yourself.¡±

    Chen Xiaoguo was rendered speechless by An Rao¡¯s retort. She stomped her feet and ran away crying.

    Xia Wanyuan came out after removing her makeup and saw An Rao looking smugly at Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s departing figure.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re done.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuane out, An Rao immediately transformed from cold and mighty sister into a cute sister. She held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and walked out.

    ¡°Did you scold her?¡± Xia Wanyuan followed An Rao out.

    ¡°Damn, this person deserves to be scolded. You actually tolerated this b*tch for so long. Just looking at her pitiful appearance is annoying.¡± An Rao clearly remembered Chen Xiaoguo pretending to be pitiful to frame Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Well, leave her alone. Let¡¯s go back.¡± It had been a long time since An Rao came to the manor. Today, Xiao Bao was on holiday, and when he heard that the pretty auntie wasing, he had been waiting at the door.

    ¡°Little cutie!¡± An Rao got out of the car and saw Xiao Bao waiting for her.

    ¡°Fairy Auntie!¡± Xiao Bao ran towards An Rao and hugged her thigh, acting cute.

    An Rao¡¯s heart melted when Xiao Bao called her ¡°Fairy Auntie¡±. She lifted Xiao Bao up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Auntie will y with you.¡±

    With An Rao apanying Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan was happy to be free. She sat in the garden and listened to music.

    JJun Shiling returned from work and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going in?¡±

    ¡°An Rao is here. She¡¯s ying with Xiao Bao.¡± Xia Wanyuan took off her headphones and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek. ¡°I miss you.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Did you do something bad again? Every time you do something bad, you do this.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°I thought about you several times during filming today. We only separated this morning.¡±

    Jun Shiling was moved by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. He solemnly kissed her on the forehead. ¡°I¡¯m very happy.¡±

    Jun Shiling wanted to say something, but Xiao Bao had already rushed out to look for Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling could only let go of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mommy, Auntie An brought me some candy. I¡¯ll give you the first one.¡± Xiao Bao ced the candy in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands and watched her swallow it. He then blinked and asked, ¡°Mommy, is it sweet?¡±.

    ¡°Sweet.¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. Xiao Bao ran into the house happily to eat his candy.

    Jun Shiling, who waspletely ignored by Xiao Bao, looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s bouncing back.

    Although this prodigal son always tricked him, he was very satisfied with his filial piety toward Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked into the house. ¡°Is there anything you want to do recently? Or do you want anything?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Uncle Wang prepare everything? We have food, clothing, and other necessities.¡±

    ¡°How is that the same? I want to buy it for you. Tell me if you like anything. Anything is fine.¡± Jun Shiling liked to see Xia Wanyuan happy when she received her gift.

    After all, the meaning was different, if he bought it.

    Jun Shiling was the most proficient. He had read through all the love books that Li Jing had prepared for him, and he had learned everything from them.

    Jun Shiling knew exactly how to dote on his wife.

    If there were rted exams, Jun Shiling would definitely score full marks. He would even be able to answer all the additional questions correctly.

 Chapter 701 - The Passage Of Time

    <h4>Chapter 701 The Passage Of Time</h4>

    At the end of August, in a small town in the south of China, spring seemed to have been left behind. On both sides of the limestone street, flowers of all colorspeted with each other, and the street was filled with the cries of peddlers.

    It was the time to eat mushrooms, and the entire street was filled with the fragrance of mushrooms.

    ¡°Why did youe with me?¡± Tang Yin picked the rice noodles in her bowl and looked at Fu Li in front of her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy?¡±

    ¡°After you left five years ago, I rarely take on filming anymore.¡± Fu Li took out the quail egg from his bowl and ced it in Tang Yin¡¯s bowl. ¡°Here, you like this.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true. You didn¡¯t intend to stay in the entertainment industry for long anyway.¡± Fu Li had a good family background. Back then, what he learned wasn¡¯t acting at all. It was just that he stayed in the same dormitory as Liu Xingchuan. After graduation, he joined the entertainment industry together with Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Fu Li took a sip of the soup. ¡°I remember ten years ago, you said that when you have money in the future, you woulde to Yunnan for a trip.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it has been ten years.¡± Tang Yin¡¯s thoughts were brought back to ten years ago by Fu Li.

    At that time, Liu Xingchuan was dispirited while Tang Yin left early and returnedte to pull in investments. Although Fu Li had a good family background, he had a huge conflict with his parents. His parents stopped paying for his living expenses. The three of them rented a small house in Beijing together. At that time, Tang Yin often said that once she had money, she would not care about anything else. She would lie down on the grass in Yunnan and watch the clouds roll by. When she was tired, she would go to a nearby shop to get a bowl of fragrant cross-curve rice noodles.

    Later, Tang Yin became rich, but she was busy with Liu Xingchuan¡¯s matters all day long. How could she have the time toe to Yunnan?

    It was only now that Tang Yin had finally fulfilled one of her wishes back then.

    ¡°Do you know why I entered the entertainment industry back then?¡± Fu Li picked up a piece of fresh fungus and bit down on it, filling his mouth with fragrance.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because you got into a fight with your parents and they won¡¯t pay you for your living expenses so you need money?¡±.

    ¡°Then do you know why we had a conflict?¡± Fu Li put down his chopsticks. Without waiting for Tang Yin to answer, he answered himself, ¡°Because I told them that I want to enter the entertainment circle. Our family has been in politics for generations. They won¡¯t allow any sons to enter the entertainment circle.¡±

    Tang Yin was stunned. She looked at the handsome Fu Li in front of her as if it was the first time she met him. All those years, her gaze had always been fixated on Liu Xingchuan. She had never thought about this at all.

    The steam from the rice noodles blurred Tang Yin¡¯s vision, but Tang Yin felt that she had never seen Fu Li¡¯s eyes so clearly before. That pair of eyes, from beginning to end, had her in them.

    However, in the end, Tang Yin still lowered her head and fiddled with the rice noodles in her bowl. ¡°Then now that you don¡¯t really take on roles anymore, it¡¯s better to resolve the conflict with your parents.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Because I¡¯ve always been unmarried. They¡¯ve always wanted me to find a wife.¡± When Fu Li spoke, he kept looking at Tang Yin. Tang Yin sensed this gaze and did not dare to raise her head.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Tang Yin finally answered softly and did not ask Fu Li why he had not married for so many years.

    In the past, she had always thought that Fu Li had high standards and did not meet a suitable person. But today, she seemed to have finally seen that gaze behind her that had been there for a long time. Fu Li didn¡¯t say anything more. The two of them finished their meal with different thoughts.

    It rained frequently in the south. Before the meal was finished, it was already raining outside.

    A child was selling umbres that cost ten yuan each. Tang Yin bought two and handed one to Fu Li.

    They used to share an umbre when it rained, but now they couldn¡¯t.

    Fu Li took the umbre and did not say anything, walking into the rain with Tang Yin.

    When they were almost at the inn, Fu Li suddenly stopped in his tracks. ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Tang Yin thought that Fu Li had left something at the rice noodles shop. Fu Li walked over to the flower bed not far away and reached out to break a few stalks of flowers.

    Tang Yin looked at Fu Li¡¯s figure from afar and sighed.

 Chapter 702 - Little Brother Returns

    <h4>Chapter 702 Little Brother Returns</h4>

    In the end, that bouquet of flowers was ced properly by Tang Yin at the head of the bed. The fragrance lingered in the room for a long time.

    Sometimes, Tang Yin would dream of the first time she met Liu Xingchuan. It had been more than ten years before she realized that Fu Li was standing at the side of the garden back then.

    After waking up from her dream, Tang Yin¡¯s pillow was always wet. Time had buried too much and taken away too much.

    Fu Li had an unlimited future. He was different from her, who had crawled out from hell. She could not drag him into the darkness again. After ending the call with Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan tried to persuade her. However, Tang Yin was determined and Xia Wanyuan did not say anything more.

    She had never experienced her sufferings, so she would not advise her to change.

    Xia Wanyuan had never experienced what Tang Yin experienced. No matter what decision Tang Yin made, she could understand.

    It was just that Xia Wanyuan sighed a little in her heart. Tang Yin was clearly such a hardworking and dazzling girl, but in the end, fate yed such a big joke on her.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked to the study door and called out to Jun Shiling, who was working hard.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling was about to get up when Xia Wanyuan walked up to him. Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.

    ¡°I like you.¡± Xia Wanyuan snuggled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms like a kitten.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at Xia Wanyuan. He took the documents on the table to one side and ced her on the table.

    ¡°?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    Jun Shiling didn¡¯t say a word. Instead, he walked to the door and locked it. He then walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯re disturbing me from working. In that case, I won¡¯t work anymore.¡± Jun Shiling loosened his tie as he walked.

    ¡°Hey! This is the study!¡± Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling

    ¡°The study is good.¡± Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows. ¡°Don¡¯t you like me? You don¡¯t like me when I¡¯m in the study?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was both embarrassed and angry, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t dissuade Jun Shiling.

    As shey on the desk, Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled the court etiquette that her masters had taught her in her previous life. A woman¡¯s virtue, Xia Wanyuan thought to herself. If my masters were in heaven, they might be angered to death by me.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re shameless,¡± Xia Wanyuan thought to herself. Even if I am angered to death, I have to get Jun Shiling to go up first to tolerate the punishment.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m shameless.¡± Jun Shiling leaned over to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and panted heavily. Heughed. ¡°Don¡¯t you like it?¡±.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan is speechless.¡±

    ¡°Tell me, do you like it?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was silent, Jun Shiling reached out to scratch her.

    ¡°Aiyah, it¡¯s ticklish.¡± Xia Wanyuan was most afraid of tickles. Her eyes were filled with smiles after being tickled.

    ¡°Then tell me, do you like me?¡± Jun Shiling pretended to continue scratching.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly begged for mercy, her eyes curving into crescents. The entire room was filled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯sughter. ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡±

    Jun Shiling was satisfied. He ced his hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back and leaned forward. ¡°I like you too.¡±

    Time passed hour by hour. Uncle Wang knocked on the door once, but there was no response. He tactfully asked the servants to leave.

    On the sofa, Xia Wanyuan, who had just taken a shower, was wrapped in a towel, sipping her tea. Jun Shiling was sitting at the side cutting her toenails.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, will we quarrel in the future?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s patient manner and was a little curious. In her previous life, her parents were also very loving. However, after interacting with each other for a long time, there would always be some conflicts. At the worst, her mother even had a cold war with her father for half a month.

    ¡°We won¡¯t quarrel.¡± Jun Shiling finished trimming one of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs and lifted the other. ¡°Haven¡¯t I always given in to you? I¡¯ll give in to you in the future. You¡¯re right.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan was very happy. ¡°I wonder who has this good husband.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and looked up at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°There¡¯s only one that belongs to Xia Wanyuan. He¡¯s not for sale.¡±

    Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating their eyes.

    <b>¡ª</b>

    <b>¡ª</b>

    Ever since theirst visit to Hanchuan University, Xia Wanyuan had mentioned that she would bring the white jade cup to the school¡¯s exhibition for free. The school¡¯s leader would call her every few days, asking her indirectly when she could bring the item over for them to take a look.

    The teachers of Hanchuan University were going to attend the Qinghua University Exchange in two days. Xia Wanyuan discussed with Jun Shiling and decided to bring some items to the school.

    Jun Shiling waved his hand regarding this. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange this.¡±

    Thus, two dayster, the Qing University weed nearly twenty priceless and extremely rare treasures.

    At this point, the school leaders looked at Xia Wanyuan with flowers blooming in their eyes.

    Although it was only put on disy here for a month, the other schools had never received such treatment to disy so many priceless treasures at once.

    During thest trip to Hanchuan, everyone had witnessed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance. This time, the school leaders did not hesitate to let Xia Wanyuan participate.

    When the teachers of Hanchuan University heard that it was Xia Wanyuan who was leading them, other than the extremely young Professor Lin, everyone else wasining in their hearts.

    This little girl looked young and was really difficult to deal with. However, there was no other way. Everyone could only silently pray that they did not provoke her.

    <b>¨C</b>

    Over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had finally gotten some free time from her busy schedule. She spent her days traveling between home, school, and the production team. For the time being, she had nothing else to do.

    That day, when Xia Wanyuan returned home, she saw a tall figure hugging Xiao Bao from afar. Xiao Bao was clinging to this person¡¯s neck, smiling so much that his eyes were curved into crescents.

    Xia Wanyuan got out of the car. The person at the door turned around and grinned.

    ¡°Sister.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 703 Little Brother is Back!</h4>

    His young face was no longer childish and had a stiff curve. However, his eyes were filled with a familiar youthful vigor.

    ¡°Xia Yu? Why are you back?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled in surprise. ¡°I had a few days of family leave.¡± Xia Yu put Xiao Bao down and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. ¡°I missed my little dumpling and came back to take a look.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re back, stay here. We miss you too.¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and rubbed Xia Yu¡¯s head.

    Xia Yu¡¯s ears turned red and he squirmed, ¡°Why are you touching my head? What if I don¡¯t grow taller?¡±

    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re already very tall! You¡¯re much taller than me!¡± Xiao Bao jumped out and grabbed Xia Yu¡¯s leg. ¡°I want Uncle to carry

    me.¡±

    Xia Yu scooped up the little dumpling, ¡°Rascal, why are you so fat?¡±

    ¡°Of course not! I have baby fat! Uncle, let¡¯s go in and y with the toys, okay?¡± Xiao Bao had not seen Xia Yu for too long and was extremely happy. He kissed Xia Yu¡¯s face. ¡°Okay!¡± Xia Yu carried Xiao Bao in and looked at the decorations in the manor. They had changed a lot since he left.

    Xia Wanyuan walked behind and looked at Xia Yu¡¯s tall figure. She nodded to herself. It seemed that Xia Yu¡¯s decision to join the military was correct. He looked much more energetic than before.

    ¡°Sister, I bought it on the way back. It¡¯s for you.¡± Xia Yu yed with Xiao Bao for a while before taking out a box from his luggage and handing it to Xia Wanyuan, looking nonchnt. However, when Xia Wanyuan took the box, Xia Yu looked at her worriedly.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the box and took a look. It was a piece of jade from Continent F. It was a very beautiful color, and it was obvious that he had not bought it casually. Xia Wanyuan looked up. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. I really like it.¡±

    ¡°Oh, as long as you like it. It¡¯s not worth much anyway.¡± Xia Yu touched his nose and covered his smile.

    Xia Wanyuan waved at Xia Yu. Xia Yu bent down and Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch Xia Yu¡¯s head. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not little dumpling. You¡¯re just coaxing a child!¡± He was already the most outstanding member of the cheetah assault team this year, but Xia Yu¡¯s face was filled with prideful shyness.

    Although he said that, Xia Yu did not move his head away. Instead, he enjoyed the warmth of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s palm.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± It was unknown when Jun Shiling had returned. His deep gaze fell on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly, then lowered her hand.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Jun Shiling. He walked up to Jun Shiling and said, ¡°Brother-inw Long,¡± with a fanatically respectful look in his eyes.

    ¡°Mmm, take a good rest now that you¡¯re back. Get Uncle Wang to tidy up your room and bring your things up.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Xia Yu instinctively wanted to salute, but he remembered that he was at home and stopped.

    Xiao Bao sat on the luggage while Xia Yu carried Xiao Bao and the luggage upstairs to unpack.

    Xia Wanyuan pped Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°That¡¯s my younger brother. How can you be jealous?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not rted by blood.¡± Jun Shiling took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and patted it lightly. ¡°You¡¯re not obedient at all.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, that¡¯s enough.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°You¡¯re such a jealous person.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted and didn¡¯tment.

    After changing into his old clothes, Xia Yu instantly felt like he had returned to his university days. He chatted with her roommates for a while and arranged to go out for a meal. Everyone was pleasantly surprised by Xia Yu¡¯s sudden return.

    After packing up, Xia Yu carried Xiao Bao downstairs. Then, he saw that on the sofa in the living room, Xia Wanyuan was leaning in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Jun Shiling was feeding her watermelon spoon by spoon.

    ¡°¡­ Little cutie, are your parents always like this now?¡± When I left, the two of them were only slightly more familiar with each other than strangers. Why were they so intimate in just a few months?

    ¡°Shh, Uncle, don¡¯t disturb my Daddy and Mommy¡¯s rtionship.If you do that, they can¡¯t give me a sister,¡± Xiao Bao whispered mysteriously into Xia Yu¡¯s ear.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart, his younger sister was the most important. He could even let Jun Shiling take Xia Wanyuan away.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu nced at Xiao Bao who was in his arms speechlessly. Do kids nowadays know so much?

    After dinner, Xia Yu went back to his room. When he was out on missions overseas, he brought his special phone with him. He had just joined the team and his training was tough. He rarely read the news online.

    Now that he was finally free, Xia Yu opened his Weibo and took a look.

    999 + notifications appeared on the screen. Xia Yu clicked on one casually. Ever since he left, his fans would greet him every morning and night, even if they knew he wouldn¡¯t reply.

    There was also a lot of messages that said that they would patiently wait for the news of his return.

    Xia Yu grew up alone and was used to a carefree life.

    Now that he was back, there were not only his family and friends waiting, but also countless strangers. Even though they had never met before, these people still cared about him in this world.

    Xia Yu was a little touched. He downloaded the live-stream and logged in.

    Five minutester, all thements on the Cat Tooth tform were filled withments.

    ¡°Little brother is back!!¡±

 Chapter 704 - The Useless President Jun

    <h4>Chapter 704 The Useless President Jun</h4>

    Xia Yu hadn¡¯t been on the tform for long, but he had set a record for the tform¡¯s rapid poprity and left behind all sorts of legends.

    The words ¡°little brother is back¡± instantly evoked everyone¡¯s memories. Arge number of people rushed into Xia Yu¡¯s broadcast room and within a short time, it was filled with people.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m back. Do you still remember me?¡± Xia Yu¡¯s voice was as gentle as ever. However,pared to before, his delicate face had lost some of its childishness and his eyes were filled with determination.

    (Ahhhhh, little brother!!! Of course I remember!! You¡¯re finally back!!)

    [Brother! Sister loves you!!!]

    (Oh my god, am I dreaming? My little brother is back. Sob, my youth is back.]

    Looking at the loving and cheeringments on the screen, Xia Yu smiled with her dimples showing. ¡°Long time no see. I miss everyone too.¡± Then, it triggered another wave ofments.

    ¡°Xia Yu, have some fruit.¡± Just then, Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and walked in. She saw the livements on Xia Yu¡¯sputer. ¡°Are you doing a live broadcast?¡±.

    ¡°Yes, I haven¡¯t been back in a long time.¡± Xia Yu nodded and waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, do you want to join me?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at thements and agreed.

    Thus, a scene from a few months ago appeared in King¡¯s Canyon.

    Xia Wanyuan yed Luna, who was the center of attention, Xia Yu yed with Cai Wenji, the cute nanny. The two of them worked together to take down one kill after another.

    That night, the topic of ¡°national siblings¡± was trending

    Jun Shiling frowned as he watched Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu walking side by side in the canyon. ¡°When will you be able to join me on the trending list?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about being on the trending list?¡± Xia Wanyuan gave Jun Shiling a helpless look and brought a piece of watermelon to his mouth.

    ¡°Hmph, you can go up on it with someone else. I won¡¯t eat it. Take it away. I¡¯m full from being angry.¡± Jun Shiling tilted his head.

    Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling in amusement. When Jun Shiling turned around, Xia Wanyuan bit down on a mouthful of watermelon and stopped moving. She raised an eyebrow at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breath caught in his throat. In the end, he couldn¡¯t resist the temptation and leaned over.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling away with a smile. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯re not eating?¡±

    Jun Shiling gritted his teeth. ¡°You always do this.¡±

    However, he was very useless and could not resist the temptation every time.

    ¡°Alright, I have to go to school. There are several international exchange teamsing over today. I have to go earlier.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down the watermelon and stood up to leave.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡± Jun Shiling also stood up. ¡°Why are you going?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°You want to make it public?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not telling you.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out. He was still brooding over Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trending list. No matter how Xia Wanyuan asked him, he refused to tell her.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling took two separate cars to Qing University.

    Since thest time Jun Shiling attended Xia Wanyuan¡¯s demonstration ss, seeing Jun Shiling arrive this time, the school¡¯s leaders did not hesitate to get Xia Wanyuan to help receive Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Wee, President Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled politely at Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± Jun Shiling nodded, as if he did not know Xia Wanyuan at all, cold and distant.

 Chapter 705 - 5 Foreign Visit, Princess Welcomes Them

    <h4>Chapter 705 Foreign Visit, Princess Wees Them</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan found it funny. She thought to herself that he was quite good at pretending.

    ¡°Principal Yang, you should apany CEO Jun in. The exchange team from Hanchuan University is about to arrive. I¡¯ll wait for them here.¡± As soon as Xia Wanyuan said this, Principal Yang inexplicably felt the temperature around Jun Shiling drop.

    ¡°CEO Jun, there are many people at the school gate. You should rest in the office first.¡± Principal Yang invited Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and acknowledged.

    On the way from the school gate to the office, Jun Shiling did not speak much.

    On this day, there were three groups of representatives from the Han Country, Ennd and America.

    The teachers of Hanchuan University were not happy at all to see Xia Wanyuan. They were afraid that they would go up against her. The teachers from Ennd and Cherry Blossoms were all very curious about this beautiful female student who was receiving them together with the school leaders. People from America had always been more direct. On the way to school, someone directly asked which major this beautiful student was from. Was she from the art department?

    When they learned that Xia Wanyuan was actually a professor at the Qing University, everyone¡¯s first thought was not that Xia Wanyuan was outstanding, but that they were suspicious of the Qing University¡¯s selection mechanism.

    Some teachers from other schools secretly questioned her. They heard that the Qing University was the most prestigious university in China, but they didn¡¯t expect it to be so lenient when it came to selecting professors. This girl looked to be in her twenties. Could it be that she relied on her looks to enter Qing University?

    The teachers of Hanchuan University who were listening quietly at the side gave each other meaningful looks.

    Another bunch of people who looked down on Xia Wanyuan and wanted to p their own faces swollen.

    However, the people from Hanchuan University did not intend to remind them. Originally, the schools werepetitors, so they were eager to see them make a fool out of themselves.

    Due to the existence of Xia Wanyuan, the representatives from Ennd and America felt an inexplicable sense of contempt for Qing University. She was actually able to be a professor at Qing University with just a pretty face. Qing University standards were a little too low. It was easy to imagine what standards the new teachers of Qing University had.

    <b>S WE</b>

    The representatives were brought to a resting ce. Xia Wanyuan returned to her office, but not long after she sat down, someone called her to the principal¡¯s office.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and entered. Indeed, Jun Shiling was sitting inside.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, Principal Yang waved at her. ¡°Xiao Xia, you know CEO Jun. As an outstanding graduate of our school, Qing University is preparing to hire him as an honorary professor at Qing University. CEO Jun said that he hasn¡¯t been back to school for a long time. You and Professor Liu can bring President Jun around the school.¡±

    Now that the reception was involved, Principal Yang¡¯s first reaction was to let Xia Wanyuan go. After all, she was good-looking and elegant. She looked young, but she was very capable. There was almost nothing that could stump her.

    Principal Yang was a little worried about letting someone else receive Jun Shiling. He looked at Xia Wanyuan in satisfaction and nodded in his heart. Such a youngdy had only appeared once in many years. She was actually picked up by Qing University. We are really lucky.

    ¡°CEO Jun, please.¡± Xia Wanyuan made an inviting gesture as Jun Shiling strode forward.

    As there were too many famous masters today, the school sealed most of the roads for safety reasons. There were not many people on the roads below.

    ¡°Professor Xia, aren¡¯t you going to introduce me to the area?¡± Jun Shiling only spoke after they left the administrative building.

    ¡°That¡¯s a small garden over there. Most students like to memorize books there. Here is-.¡± Xia Wanyuan exined the various ces in the Qing University to Jun Shiling, who listened attentively.

    Professor Liu, who came with them, felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around him. However, he couldn¡¯t put his finger on what it was. ¡°Professor Xia, I have a sster. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of CEO Jun.¡± After apanying Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling for a while, Professor Liu prepared to go to ss.

    ¡°Happy? After all this time, you still want to be on the trending list.¡± After Professor Liu left, Xia Wanyuan nced at the camera not far away. There was probably already news of ¡°Xia Wanyuan Jun Shiling touring Qing University¡±. ¡°Professor Xia, don¡¯t nder me.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you take care of your colleague?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± If not for the presence of cameras, Xia Wanyuan really wanted to bite Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Professor Xia!¡± A broken Chinese voice came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around, thinking that a certain jealous lover was about to start.

    ¡°Professor Lin.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Professor Xia, the representatives from Ennd and America and I are visiting the campus of Qing University. Professor Xia is from Qing University. If you don¡¯t mind, can youe with us?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Professor Lin from the side. Although he didn¡¯t show it on his face, he already felt extremely disgusted.

    As a teacher, wasn¡¯t he supposed to be a role model? His hair was smeared and he was dressed like a butterfly, like a gigolo.

    Others might not be able to tell, but Xia Wanyuan could tell what Jun Shiling was thinking. Xia Wanyuan was amused and was about to reject him.

    The colleague apanying the representative said, ¡°Wanyuan, help me lead the team. I have something to report to Principal Yang.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed, and Jun Shiling became even colder.

    Most of the people present were academics. Jun Shiling had always kept a low profile. Other than those who studied finance, most people were not very familiar with him. Therefore, the teachers only felt that this person was very imposing and did not recognize him.

    ¡°Professor Xia, is this your usual ce for lessons?¡± Just as Jun Shiling was about to say that he wasn¡¯t going to watch anymore and wanted to go back, Professor Lin walked over to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side and pointed to a nearby teaching block. Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks again.

    Xia Wanyuan used english to answer everyone¡¯s questions. Everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan was just a pretty face, but who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would invoke the scriptures and exin the history of the Qing University in detail. Gradually, arge group of people gathered around Xia Wanyuan to listen to her exnation.

    Jun Shiling, who had been standing next to Xia Wanyuan, was pushed to the side. He looked at Xia Wanyuan through the crowd and felt aggrieved.

    <h4>Chapter 706 Princess Competes Fencing</h4>

    As they walked past the library, the cafeteria, and the school building, everyone listened to Xia Wanyuan talk.

    After all, they weren¡¯t familiar with China and the teachers of other countries didn¡¯t know much about it. Although they wanted topete, they didn¡¯t dare to make a move.

    ¡°This is the Qing University¡¯s sports hall. Our country¡¯s athletes train here.¡± Xia Wanyuan led everyone into the sports hall.

    The Qing University was located in a superior location and was very close to the National Sports Center. When the Sports Center had limited space, the country directly built the athletes¡¯ training grounds on the Qing University campus. Hence, the Qing University¡¯s sports facilities were veryplete.

    Xia Wanyuan had wanted to show them around the entrance before leaving, but who would have thought that the American exchange team would want to take a look inside the stadium. Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to bring them

    in.

    ¡°CEO Jun, let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling, whose face was as cold as ice, and smiled gently.

    This person had been following behind the group the entire time. The surrounding air was almost frozen by him. Xia Wanyuan knew that he was angry. This person was easily jealous. Xia Wanyuan ignored him for a while, but in the end, she still gave in.

    Jun Shiling strode over to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, his aura causing the surrounding teachers to take two steps back.

    ¡°This is our school¡¯s honorary professor, Professor Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan introduced.

    The others looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s imposing but very young face and fell into confusion.

    An honorary professor had a very high status. Why did the University of Qing treat an honorary professor like a child¡¯s y? Of course, everyone onlyined in their hearts, but they still smiled and nodded.

    The entrance to the gymnasium was rtively small. Taking advantage of the crowd, Xia Wanyuan gently hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm.

    At first, Jun Shiling was very upset, but he wasforted by this gentle scratch.

    When they entered the gymnasium, the first thing they saw was therge table tennis club. The table tennis club in China was a legendary existence internationally. The teachers from other countries only took a look and did not want to show off their skills here.

    As they walked forward, the sound of weapons shing could be heard from the training room not far away.

    ¡°There¡¯s fencing training at Qing University?¡± Rick, thirty-year-old associate professor from America, asked. ¡°Of course, this is China¡¯s fencing team training.¡± Although fencing had always been the strong suit of the western countries, China had been training its fencing team for years. ¡°Oh? China¡¯s fencing team?¡± A strange look shed across Rick¡¯s eyes. ¡°I participated in the World Youth Championships when I was in university. I haven¡¯t touched it for a long time. I wonder if I can give it a try?¡±.

    S.

    Rick loved fencing when he was young, not to mention that his good friend was now the coach of the national fencing team of magnesium. Since they happened to meet, Rick wanted to see how was China¡¯s standard.

    The Olympics was held once every four years next year, and Rick could help his friend find out about the Chinese fencing team.

    ¡°Um?¡± At this time, the fencing team¡¯s coach had alsoe over. Hearing Rick¡¯s words, he was a little embarrassed.

    ¡°I¡¯m just an amateur. It wasn¡¯t easy for me toe to Qing University, so I can¡¯t possibly miss out on this opportunity, right? It¡¯s just a friendly spar. You can just send a student up topete with me. The main thing is that my hands are itching from seeing the sword.¡±

    Now the coach didn¡¯t know what to say. Rejecting would make us look scared, but if we ept it¡­ Rick wasn¡¯t an amateur. Although he had retired long ago, his results back then were still very dazzling.

    If any random team member were to lose, it would be very embarrassing in front of the representatives from Country Han and Ennd.

    Seeing this, the training team members on the side were impulsive and wanted toe up topete with Rick with their swords.

    Just as everyone was in a deadlock, Xia Wanyuan spoke up. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m also an amateur fencing enthusiast. Why don¡¯t you let us two amateurspete with each other? If my standard is not good enough, it wouldn¡¯t be toote for you topete with our China¡¯s professional team?¡±

 Chapter 707 - Beat You Until You Canâ€™t Fight Back

    <h4>Chapter 707 Beat You Until You Can¡¯t Fight Back</h4>

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, everyone present, except Jun Shiling, could not help butugh. Ignoring the fact that Rick used to be the champion of the World Championships, just looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s physique, it didn¡¯t seem like she knew how to wield a sword.

    ¡°Professor Xia, it¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s do it.¡± The students who were training at the side also surrounded her. Xia Wanyuan was now Qing University¡¯s darling. They could not let anyone hurt her.

    Only Jun Shiling leisurely walked down the stage and found the best spot to sit down, as if waiting to watch the duel between the two.

    ¡°Could it be that the professor finds my skills toocking and is unwilling topete with me?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazeforted the fencing team instructor. The instructor knew that Xia Wanyuan was not a reckless person, so he temporarily calmed down.

    ¡°Go ahead, then.¡± Although Rick felt that Xia Wanyuan was very beautiful, after being provoked by Xia Wanyuan, he threw the thought of being protective of the fairer sex to the back of his mind.

    Jun Shiling was already sitting leisurely on the chair. The students of Qing University knew him and had already made a cup of tea respectfully.

    ¡°Professor Xia, go change your clothes too.¡± Rick followed the fencing team¡¯s coach to change into protective clothing. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was standing still, he reminded her.

    ¡°No need, I¡¯m not wearing protective clothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan had seen this sport on television before. Perhaps for modern people, it was hard to train for this.

    But Xia Wanyuan had received training from a young age. Even though her current body was not as agile as in her previous life, she was confident that no one could hurt her.

    The others did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so confident. To them, fencing and wearing protective clothing were necessary. Xia Wanyuan did not even wear protective clothing. Could it be that she did not understand this sport at all?

    ¡°Okay.¡± Rick smiled. ¡°Since Professor Xia doesn¡¯t wear protective clothing, I won¡¯t wear it either.¡±

    At this moment, Jun Shiling, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. He looked at the fencing team¡¯s coach. ¡°As a coach, shouldn¡¯t you take note of the safety of the field?¡±

    Although he did not look at Xia Wanyuan, she knew that he was talking about her. She smiled helplessly and looked at the coach. ¡°Where is the changing room?¡±

    The coach called for a female student to bring Xia Wanyuan to the changing room. He then called for the other teachers to sit in the audience seats and then carefully waited beside Jun Shiling.

    The coach could not understand why Jun Shiling would be here watching the fencingpetition. As long as he wanted to watch it, he could send the world champion team home to perform for him alone, right? But he did not dare to ask this question.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan and Rick were dressed and ready to go.

    The female student who had apanied Xia Wanyuan in to change her clothes did not even dare look at the stage.

    After all, they were in the changing room earlier. Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes and pulled her back, letting her perform the fencingpetition¡¯s entrance etiquette. The young student almost wanted to cover her face and cry. She did not even know the etiquette of entering the arena!! Clearly, she did not even pass the first test of fencing. She considered whether she should remind the coach to call the medical staff over first.

    In the arena, Xia Wanyuan and Rick had already performed their pre-match etiquette.

    Rick also noticed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bow movements were unfamiliar, and contempt shed in his eyes. ¡°Professor Xia, you don¡¯t have to force yourself. Otherwise, we can let you win this round.¡±

    ¡°Ready.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not answer Rick¡¯s question, but looked at the judge on the side.

    The judge gestured, and Xia Wanyuan and Rick put on their helmets.

    The two of them were using foil swords. Once the referee gave the order to begin, the two of them officially entered thepetition mode.

    Considering that Xia Wanyuan was a woman, Rick was prepared to give her three moves. However, when he saw the look in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes as she raised her sword, he subconsciously went into full alert mode.

    He had thought that Xia Wanyuan would put up a defensive stance, but who knew that Xia Wanyuan would strike out with a stab without any tricks.

    Rick didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s offense to be so fierce. He had even prepared a series of fancy sword moves, ready to show off in front of her.

    However, he waspletely thrown into disarray by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fierce momentum. Rick raised his sword to meet her, but he discovered that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s small body, which had only reached his chin, had actually erupted with such power.

    His hand was numb from the shock, but he was still the champion of the previous Youth Championship. He used all his strength to block Xia Wanyuan¡¯s move.

    After sessfully blocking the first wave of attacks, Rick took a deep breath and adjusted his grip on his sword. This time, he no longer looked at Xia Wanyuan with contempt. He took out all his strength and prepared for the next battle.

    In the audience, most of the teachers could not tell what was going on. They only felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fencing move was really fierce, and that she could actually reach a draw with Rick. She really had some skill.

    The coaches and students had different expressions. Generally speaking, the simplest action required extremely high level skills to be able to disy the greatest effect.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attack seemed simple, but most of the team members present could not muster that much strength.

    In the second round, Rick attacked, as the defensive one attacked now.

    Having witnessed the viciousness of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attack, Rick immediately stabbed forward.

    Under the helmet, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she moved forward to meet Rick¡¯s sword. The sword shed with Rick¡¯s, producing a grating sound.

    Just when everyone thought it was a draw again, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist trembled slightly. At an extremely tricky angle, the tip of the sword stabbed directly at Rick¡¯s chest.

    The detector on the protective suit beeped. Xia Wanyuan hit him once.

    At this time, a part of Rick¡¯s psychological defense had been broken by Xia Wanyuan. The next part of thepetition was even simpler. There was no pattern to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s moves. When thouhe ght that she would strike straight, she would y tricks with him. When he thought that she was going to y tricks, she would strike back.

    Towards the end, Rick was obviously beaten to the point where he couldn¡¯t fight back, and his actions had a hint of desperation.

    The audience watched with great interest. The main thing was that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements were truly beautiful! Her movements were smooth and fluid!

 Chapter 708 - The Princess Won Completely!

    <h4>Chapter 708 The Princess Won Completely!</h4>

    From the very beginning, fencing had been a way to show the yer¡¯s skill through elegant movements and flexible tactics.

    Later on, for the safety of the yers, the two fencing yers wore protective clothing. In order to aim for uracy, their fluid and graceful movements were slightly discounted.

    But Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, for some reason, made everyone present think of that poem that only existed in books, depicting the graceful bearing of a female general¡¯s sword dance.

    The spectators were as dejected as the mountains, and the heavens and the earth rose and fell for a long time.

    Huo Ruyi shot down nine suns like a red dragon. When it was gentle, it would bring water along with it. When it was fierce, there would be tens of thousands of mountains pressing down. It was smooth and beautiful, and it was extremely precise.

    The coach, who had been standing beside Jun Shiling, did not dare to speak. When he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, he could not help but exim, ¡°Good!¡±

    It was only after he had finished shouting that he suddenly realized who was standing beside him. He hurriedly turned back to look, only to realize that Jun Shiling did not seem to have heard him at all. He was focused on Xia Wanyuan on the stage.

    ¡°Professor Xia wins!¡± The time was up, and the referee announced the results.

    Xia Wanyuan won without any suspense. Rick didn¡¯t even get to hit her.

    ¡°Admirable! I concede defeat. Professor Xia is truly amazing!¡± Rick was utterly convinced by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beating. He removed his helmet and cupped his fists in praise.

    ¡°It¡¯s just an exchange.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Do you still need topete with the Chinese fencing team?¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡± Rick waved his hand. ¡°Even an amateur girl is so good. The Chinese fencing team must be even better. I won¡¯t show off.¡±

    At this moment, the members below the stage thought: Hehe, you overestimate us. We might not be better than Xia Wanyuan.

    However, everyone still put on a smile that hid their achievements and fame.

    After this match, there was no one who wanted to cause trouble. They quietly followed beside Xia Wanyuan and listened to her exnation.

    After all, everyone had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ruthless and imposing manner when she drew her sword. She was not to be trifled with.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing high heels, and the spacious campus was very big. Halfway through, Xia Wanyuan felt that her feet were a little sore and moved slightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m not looking around anymore. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Jun Shiling, who had been walking silently by the side, spoke up.

    ¡°Ah? We haven¡¯t seen it all yet?¡± Rick subconsciously mumbled. When he met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze, for some reason, he felt a little nervous.

    <b>some 1 eas</b>

    ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡± Xia Wanyuan adjusted her condition. Since she had epted this mission, she had toplete it properly.

    After another hour, they finally reached the starting point.

    Principal Zhang and the rest had finished their meeting and were waiting for them.

    Seeing the representatives from the three countries quietly surround Xia Wanyuan, the teachers were all surprised.

    Not to mention that the teachers of Hanchuan University had always loved topete with others, the teachers from America and Ennd had a very strong sense of superiority. They would definitely cause trouble in the past.

    Now that they were standing together so harmoniously, everyone was in disbelief.

    Xia Wanyuan handed them over to Principal Zhang, and the teachers from the other countries were full of praises for her, praising her for her knowledge.

    Principal Zhang knew that Xia Wanyuan was formidable, but he did not expect her to be able to handle these difficult people.

    ¡°Little Xia, you¡¯ve also worked hard. Go back and rest.¡± Professor Zhang knew that Xia Wanyuan must have put in a lot of effort.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not decline and turned to leave.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯ve prepared a wee banquet. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°No need, I still have something to do at thepany.¡±

    He received Jun Shiling¡¯s rejection as expected, so the school did not insist.

    They took the car back to the manor. The moment Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, she was carried up by Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan had been standing for the entire morning. Now that her feet were indeed sore, she allowed Jun Shiling to carry her into the house. The servants in the manor calmly watered the flowers. They were already numb to such a scene.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan left, the fencing team coach approached Principal Yang. Principal Yang looked at the coach in confusion. ¡°What World Championships? Xia Wanyuan? Are you talking about Professor Xia from our school?¡±

 Chapter 709 - CEO Jun Criedâ€¦

    <h4>Chapter 709 - CEO Jun Cried¡­</h4>

    After receiving the coach¡¯s affirmation, even the usually calm Principal Yang could not control his expression.

    ¡°Professor Xia can participate in the World Championships with her skills?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Principal Yang. I think Professor Xia should train more. Maybe she can represent the country to participate in the Olympics next year.¡± The coach looked serious.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll talk to her then.¡± Principal Yang waved his hand and sighed. ¡°What kind of treasure did we bring back?¡±

    This wouldn¡¯t do. I had to see if any of her rtives were elites or elites. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s good genes, I have to snatch her for my own family first. In the manor, Jun Shiling was rubbing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg. After walking for so long in high heels, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg was a little sore.

    ¡°When did you start practicing martial arts?¡± Jun Shiling asked casually.

    ¡°Three.¡± Xia Wanyuan leanedzily on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°How old were you when you entered the military?¡±

    ¡°Thirteen years old.¡± At the age of ten, the Great Xia Empire had been destroyed. At the age of thirteen, Xia Wanyuan had followed her master to learn military strategies.

    Jun Shiling stopped what he was doing and asked no more questions.

    After helping Xia Wanyuan massage her legs, Jun Shiling carried her over. ¡°Tell me about your past.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was natural, and Xia Wanyuan did not feel anything amiss, so she began to tell him about her previous life.

    She talked about how carefree she was when she was young, how sad she was when her country was destroyed, how devastated she was when she pulled on her younger siblings, as well as how she dealt with the war and politics.

    Jun Shiling listened quietly without saying a word.

    ¡°In my previous life, when I left, I was only thirty years old. It was probably because those years consumed too much mental energy.¡± Thinking of her past life, Xia Wanyuan sighed. When she died, she was still young, but she was already like amp without oil.

    However, she had already done all that needed to be done. The kingdom had been restored and her foundation was stable. Her younger siblings had also grown up and she did not have any regrets.

    Xia Wanyuan had been talking for a long time, but Jun Shiling had not spoken. ¡°Why are you¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling, then froze.

    It had been so long, but Xia Wanyuan had only seen Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes redden twice. The first time was when she was trapped underground for a week.

    The second time was now.

    Jun Shiling had always felt that everything in the world was under his control, but as he listened to Xia Wanyuan talk about her past life, Jun Shiling felt a sense of helplessness from the bottom of his heart. Crossing the vicissitudes of history, spanning the distance of the mulberry fields,

    No matter how much his heart ached for the little girl who had watched the kingdom copse and supported the world with her own strength, he was powerless. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s all in the past.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and kissed Jun Shiling¡¯s reddened eyes.

    A man would not cry easily, but this man had already cried twice for her.

    At this time, Xia Wanyuan felt that the arduous journey of her previous life had actually received thefort it deserved. The darkness and bleakness of those years had beenpletely dispelled by Jun Shiling¡¯s warmth a thousand yearster. The things that the heavens did not bestow upon her in her previous life were returned to her in another time and space.

    ¡°I will treat you well.¡± It was as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, Jun Shiling only said

    this.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already treated me very well.¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and smiled at Jun Shiling, wanting to make him happy.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be better.¡± Jun Shiling pulled her over. ¡°I really love you.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡±

 Chapter 710 - Canâ€™t Bear, Canâ€™t Ask for More

    <h4>Chapter 710 Can¡¯t Bear, Can¡¯t Ask for More</h4>

    Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s embrace, Xia Wanyuan felt that all the troubles from her previous life could no longer affect her. Xia Wanyuan said with great emotion, ¡°Jun Shiling, it¡¯s great to meet you.¡±

    Even her parents and rtives in her previous life would not love her as wholeheartedly as Jun Shiling did. Jun Shiling¡¯s patience for her was so good that she felt like she did not deserve it.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Stupid.¡± The person in his arms probably didn¡¯t know how good she was. She deserved to be treated with care.

    He was lucky enough to win Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart. No one else had the right to treat her well, even if they wanted to.

    ¡ª

    The meeting room of Glory World Corporation was filled with people. Most of the shareholders were looking at the first person on the left with disgust. Even though he was wearing a formal suit, the hem of Xuan Sheng¡¯s shirt was left outside. His sleeves were spread out and his eyes were flirtatious. He had a devilish smile on his face. It was as if he had just returned from some nightclub. He did not look like he was here to attend the board meeting at all.

    Xuan Sheng crossed his legs and ced his right hand on the chair. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he nced at the person sitting opposite him.

    ¡°Illegitimate child?¡±

    ¡°Xiao Sheng, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Your younger brother¡¯s health wasn¡¯t good when he was young. He was sent overseas to recuperate. He just came back this year.¡± The board member looked embarrassed. He was very unhappy with Xuan Sheng¡¯s direct statement.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at the board members in the office mockingly, as well as the chairman, his father Xuan Lie.

    These people were really unscrupulous in order to pull him down from the corporation. That old man was actually willing to acknowledge apletely unrted person as his son.

    ¡°So?¡± Xuan Sheng looked at the group of people in front of him with a smile on his face. However, his heart was as cold as steel. Sooner orter, he would send them into coffins one by one.

    ¡°Xuan Li is also your brother. In order to let him familiarize himself with thepany¡¯s business in the future, Xuan Li will be thepany¡¯s Vice-President from now on. He will help you with your work. You have to take care of your brother in the future.¡±

    ¡°Brother, please guide me.¡± Xuan Li stood up and extended his hand towards Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng smiled and stood up. ¡°Since you¡¯ve decided, why are you still asking me?¡± After speaking, Xuan Sheng left the meeting room.

    After Xuan Sheng left, everyone had different expressions on their faces. However, Xuan Sheng did not put up any more intense resistance. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Young Master, isn¡¯t it obvious that these old men are trying to steal your power?¡± Xuan Sheng returned to his office. His assistant brought him a ss of water. ¡°Ignore them. What has Shen Qian been doing recently?¡± Xuan Sheng rubbed the space between his eyebrows, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

    ¡°Boss Shen is busy with the project at Moon Bay. He also changed the address of Xiu Yi¡¯s shop and moved to the opposite street.¡± The assistant brought Xuan Sheng the medicine and he swallowed it in one gulp.

    ¡°Opposite street?¡± Xuan Sheng thought for a moment. ¡°That¡¯s not the business district. Come with me in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The assistant sighed internally. This young master probably wanted to help Miss Xia¡¯spany again.

    ¡°What time is it? It¡¯s time to eat.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at the time. It was already noon. ¡°It¡¯s ready.¡± The assistant brought Xuan Sheng¡¯s food in.

    Ever since Xuan Sheng came back from Linxi City, his life had be more regr. In the past, he hated eating. But now, whenever it was time to eat, no matter how busy he was, Xuan Sheng would eat on time.

    He had even stopped drinking coffee that he had never strayed away from. Now, he was drinking tea.

    Moreover, he only drank one type of tea, which was the one that Xia Wanyuan had praised to be quite good.

    The assistant sighed when he saw Xuan Sheng forcing the food into his mouth.

    Who would have thought that Xuan Sheng, who had always been unrestrained and dissolute, would change his anorexic habits just because of a casual sentence from a person?

    Finally, he swallowed the bowl of rice. Xuan Sheng frowned. ¡°How is the Shi family?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Young Master. Everything is going ording to n.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Thinking of what Shi Tian had done, Xuan Sheng wanted to turn the entire Shi family upside down.

    That day, when he received the news, he immediately rushed to the scene. However, by the time he arrived, Jun Shiling had already gone in. Xuan Sheng waited outside until he saw Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan out the door. Only then did Xuan Sheng leave.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia is already Jun Shiling¡¯s person. You¡­¡± The assistant could not bear to watch. Young master had done so much, and Xia Wanyuan did not know about it. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan was already on Jun Shiling¡¯s side. How could he fight for her?

    ¡°I know.¡± Xuan Sheng took a sip of tea and suppressed the disgust in his stomach. ¡°I just can¡¯t help it.¡±

    A person who grew up in darkness and filth finally saw a ray of warm light seeping into the world through the fog. How could he not approach her?

    Sigh. The assistant sighed in his heart. In this world, there was nothing that could cure love. ¡°Alright, turn on the music. I¡¯ll lie down for a while. I¡¯ll go take a look at Xiu Yi in the afternoon.¡± Xuan Sheng took off the prayer beads on his wrist and closed his eyes. ¡°Yes.¡± The assistant turned on the speakers in the room. A soothing female voice filled the room with a calming power.

    Meanwhile, in the manor¡­

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling remained silent for a while. Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, as if he had something to say.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    ¡°I found out who your biological father is.¡±

 Chapter 711 - Throwing Money

    <h4>Chapter 711 Throwing Money</h4>

    The word ¡®biological father¡¯ made Xia Wanyuan feel strange. After all, in her eyes, whether it was Xia Yuanqing or anyone else, they could only be considered strangers.

    But she was still curious about the secret behind this body. ¡°Who is it?¡±

    ¡°Give me a kiss and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Jun Shiling started teasing her again.

    But today, Xia Wanyuan was exceptionally easy to talk to. Surprisingly, she did not refute Jun Shiling. Instead, she obediently nted a kiss on his face. ¡°Please tell me, CEO Jun.¡±

    In front of outsiders, Xia Wanyuan had always been unapproachable. Hence, no one knew.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were curved, and when she smiled gently, there was a glint in her eyes. There was a small dimple on her right cheek, and she looked extremely adorable.

    Jun Shiling, who had thought that Xia Wanyuan would kick him, was caught off guard by the obedient Xia Wanyuan. ¡°He¡¯s from a family in Continent M,¡± Jun Shiling said as he took a folder from the side and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it. ¡°Since he¡¯s so powerful, why hasn¡¯t he returned to China to visit his lover and child all these

    years?¡±

    He could be considered someone who could influence the situation in Continent M, yet he had not returned to find his former lover for more than twenty years.

    ¡°He could be considered to have started from scratch and has always been suppressed. Furthermore, when he left back then, he thought that your mother had chosen someone else. He probably hated her.¡± Jun Shiling did not really know what had happened back then and could only guess.

    ¡°Alright, it has nothing to do with me.¡± Xia Wanyuan nonchntly put the documents aside.

    ¡°Mm, you just need to have something to do with me.¡± Jun Shiling had told Xia Wanyuan about this only because he wanted to tell her that such a person existed. Continent M was deep, and he did not want Xia Wanyuan to get involved.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s eat. I want to go take a look at Xiu Yi¡¯s venue in the afternoon.¡± Although she had instructed Qin Shuang to handle this matter, Xia Wanyuan had to personally take a look before she could feel at ease. ¡°Xiu Yi?¡± Jun Shiling had heard Lin Jing mention this before. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about moving. The Jun Corporation is going to develop a building soon. When the timees, it will be next to your street. In the future, it won¡¯t be any worse than the other side.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless.¡± You¡¯re not changing the location for me, are you? Don¡¯t you have to consider many conditions before developing the building?¡±

    ¡°If I build a building there, that will be the prosperous area in the future.¡± Jun Shiling was very confident.

    However, he did have the confidence to do so. Not to mention that the Jun Corporation¡¯s t slots were always emptied as soon as they appeared, as long as Jun Shiling wanted to, he could build hospitals, supermarkets, ygrounds, parks, and a series of other supporting facilities. With these supporting measures and the building attracting customers, a business circle could quickly be established.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and looked at Jun Shiling quietly. Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡±

    ¡°Tsk, CEO Jun is still quite handsome when he¡¯s throwing money,¡± Xia Wanyuan said with a smile.

    ¡°Do you like it?¡± Jun Shiling leaned forward. ¡°I do like.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Before Jun Shiling could kiss her, she slipped out of his embrace with a sly smile. ¡°Your money.¡±

    ¡°Naughty.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and stood up from the sofa. He caught up with Xia Wanyuan and apanied her to eat.

    After eating, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan over.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first. I¡¯ll pick you up when you¡¯re done.¡± Upon reaching their destination, Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan tidy her hair. He watched as Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and prepared to leave.

    Before the car door closed, Jun Shiling saw a figure alighting from a car not far away.

    ¡°The afternoon meeting will be hosted by Lin Jing. I¡¯ll apany you to look at the venue.¡±

 Chapter 712 - If Back Then

    <h4>Chapter 712 If Back Then</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan also saw Xuan Sheng not far away. Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, she felt somewhat helpless.

    Jun Shiling was about to get out of the car when Xia Wanyuan pushed him back. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯ve been jealous enough.¡±

    ¡°No, he likes you and I don¡¯t want you to be alone with him.¡± Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist, his tone full of jealousy.

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused. She called out to Jun Shiling and then looked at him seriously. ¡°I love you. I belong to you. Don¡¯t worry, okay? Come and pick me upter.¡±

    Jun Shiling was caught off guard by the confession and loosened his grip on Xia Wanyuan. He nced behind Xia Wanyuan. Xuan Sheng was looking over. ¡°Then kiss me before you leave.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze and knew that Xuan Sheng was right behind her.

    But love was always biased. She smiled and leaned over to nt a kiss on Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Are you satisfied?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you upter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to leave.

    Xuan Sheng stood not far away. When he had first gotten out of the car, he had been extremely happy to see Xia Wanyuan. But in the next second, he saw Jun Shiling in the car.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan helplessly give Jun Shiling a peck on the cheek with a smile on her face, Xuan Sheng felt his heart ache. Half of the prayer beads in his hand had been broken by him.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s heart ached when he saw the smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng ¡°You can call me Xuan Sheng.¡± Xuan Sheng tightly gripped the prayer beads in his hand with a smile on his face.

    ¡°Okay, what are you doing here?¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart. Xuan Sheng was not a bad person, but she could not give him hope.

    ¡°I want to work with you. I have an idea. We canbine the Moon Bay project with this ce. I hope Miss Xia won¡¯t let me drop this money-making car.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s car had already slowly disappeared from sight. Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand that was holding the Buddha Bead rxed slightly. ¡°Let¡¯s talk while we look around,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she walked in. ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng followed after him. He was still in a charming mood, but after seeing the scene just now, he didn¡¯t have the mood to say anything else.

    Apanying Xia Wanyuan from the first shop to thest one, the two discussed the whole way and finally came up with a preliminary n.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Even though Xuan Sheng hoped that time would slow down, the discussion ended.

    ¡°Mm?¡± Xia Wanyuan was looking at the structure of the room. When she heard Xuan Sheng call her, she turned around. The sun shone on her face from behind. Xuan Sheng felt that the Guanyin Jade Image he had asked for was just so-so.

    ¡°If¡­¡± Xuan Sheng looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. Although he knew that it was impossible, he could not help butugh and say, ¡°If you feel that CEO Jun¡¯s golden cage is unsuitable, my golden cage is willing to lock you up Miss Xia, the canary.¡±

    However, Xuan Sheng no longer saw Xia Wanyuan as a canary. What he really wanted to say was that if Jun Shiling treated her badly, his embrace would always be open to her.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could reply, Xuan Shengughed. ¡°Miss Xia, don¡¯t be angry. I was just joking.¡± ¡°Xuan Sheng.¡± Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan was neither angry nor smiling. Instead, she called out to him seriously. This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had called him by his name in such a long time. Xuan Sheng was immediately stunned on the spot. Even the prayer beads in his hands unconsciously drooped down.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯d love to work with you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew that the profits from her projects were not small. She knew a little about Glory World Corporation¡¯s situation. Xuan Sheng was not as morous as he seemed. She was willing to help him secure his footing and repay him financially for saving her life.

    As for the rest, she would not give Xuan Sheng any hope.

    ¡°But I hope you won¡¯t be obsessed. Our rtionship is limited to our work cooperation. I already have him.¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled. There were some red lines in his evil eyes. The diamond earrings that were shining brightly seemed to have lost some color.

    ¡°If back then¡­¡± Xuan Sheng had wanted to say, if he had not been so insolent when he first met Xia Wanyuan and had not used such frivolous methods, would their oue have been different?

    However, on second thought, everything was predestined. He grew up in such an environment, and no matter how many times he repeated it, his personality was destined.

    He was used to being unrestrained and undisciplined, used to being frivolous and flirtatious. From the very beginning, he was destined to not be in the same world as Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 713 - The Dark Horse Rides Over

    <h4>Chapter 713 The Dark Horse Rides Over</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to know what Xuan Sheng was about to say. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. There¡¯s no longer back then.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I was just casually saying. Miss Xia, you might not even have a ce in my cage. After all, I¡¯ve locked up countless canaries here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked in front of Xuan Sheng and nced at the broken prayer beads in his hand. The broken edges had cut his fingers, but he didn¡¯t seem to notice.

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t it hurt?¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out and removed the prayer beads. ¡°I¡¯m used to it.¡± Xuan Sheng lowered his head, his thin eyelids revealing some fragility.

    Before he could remember anything, he was his biological mother¡¯s tool to vent her anger. He was so hungry every day that he could be beaten up by that woman for a night just because he had secretly eaten a meal.

    From a very young age, his biological mother had taught him to be anorexic and irritable. From the age of ten, she had sent women to his bed and vowed to raise him into a scum.

    This pain was nothing.

    ¡°I wish you well.¡± Xia Wanyuan knelt down and looked straight into Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. Those eyes, which always had a hint of evilness, now had a hint of red under them. They were dark and dull.

    Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in front of him. His eyes flickered and the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re not even my person. You want me to be well? You¡¯ll make me misunderstand.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything more. She stood up, turned around, and saw Jun Shiling standing at the door. His gaze was obscure, and he was staring at her deeply.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over to hold Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, then looked at Xuan Sheng. ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving first. See youter.¡±

    ¡°Alright. Goodbye, Yuan Yuan.¡± Xuan Sheng winked at Xia Wanyuan, then looked provocatively at Jun Shiling.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s imposing manner, Xia Wanyuan held his hand and left with her man.

    After the two of them disappeared from his sight, the corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips gradually returned to normal. He leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he picked up his phone and made a call.

    ¡°Bring back the few psychiatrists fromst time. Get two fitness instructors toe back and get the doctor to prescribe some medicine with less side effects.¡±

    The butler on the other end of the line was getting more and more shocked. What had gotten into my young master? In the past, he had acted like he was resigned to fate and was about to copse. Now, not only did he start eating, he even took the initiative to request to see a doctor.

    ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll arrange it right away.¡± The butler nodded happily. No matter what, it was a good thing that the young master was willing to take good care of himself.

    After hanging up the phone, Xuan Sheng looked at the charming shadow who was leaving. His eyes were lonely. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± However, his voice was too soft. Even his assistant who was closest to him couldn¡¯t hear what he was saying. It was as if Xuan Sheng was just saying it for himself.

    On the Phantom that was driving at a constant speed, Jun Shiling frowned slightly as he looked out the window. Xia Wanyuan reached out and hooked her finger in his palm. Only then did Jun Shiling turn around. ¡°Angry?¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked her pinky around Jun Shiling¡¯s.

    ¡°To be honest, there¡¯s one thing. He calls you Yuan Yuan.¡± Jun Shiling wrapped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in his own. ¡°But I believe

    you.¡±

    ¡°You should trust yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan revealed her dimples. ¡°After all, CEO Jun is so rich, so handsome, and has such a good temper.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged her helplessly. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was teasing him, but he was still delighted by her words.

    ¡°Li Yi, you can do it! Our hopes are all on you!¡± At the airport, the national Go team was sending Li Yi off.

    In the past, fans woulde to send them off. However, because of the failure of the World Tournament, when Li Yi and his friends went to Continent M for the Master Tournament, not a single fan came again.

    ¡°Alright, alright. If we don¡¯t leave now, we won¡¯t be able to catch the ne.¡± Jack looked at the members of the Go team unhappily. With the standard of the Chinese Go team, they would just be a bystander. They wouldn¡¯t even be able to get a cing, yet they were acting as though it was such a big deal.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yi waved at his teammates.

    A passerby passed by and saw the team emblem on Li Yi¡¯s shirt. He turned to his friend and said, ¡°Look, that¡¯s our national Go team. I heard that the World Go Master Competition is about to start.¡±

    ¡°Damn, thepetition has already started long ago. The preliminary round has already ended. It seems like it¡¯s going to be the world¡¯s semi-finals now. It¡¯s almosting to an end. Our country doesn¡¯t have much to look forward to. The internationalpetition has already died down, so how can we still hope to win the grandmasterpetition? I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a chance.¡±

    The two of them were talking loudly in the airport, so it was clearly heard by the team who was about to board. Some of the younger members wanted to argue, but Li Yi held their shoulders and said, ¡°They are right. Why are you rushing up?¡± Everyone was disappointed by Li Yi¡¯s words. They could only me themselves for not being as good as others, causing all those who liked them to be disappointed.

    In Continent M, Lawrence sat on the sofa as the coach ced a list in front of him. ¡°Your potential opponent in this Masters game.¡±

    Lawrence had just won the World Series championship, and he was feeling very pleased with himself. He nced at the name list in his hand. They were all the more popr yers. ¡°Why is Li Yi, the loser, still here?¡± Lawrence asked in confusion when he saw Li Yi¡¯s name on the list.

    ¡°He¡¯s the most important seeded yer in China. We can¡¯t underestimate him.¡± China was thend of Go. Even though it had declined over the years, who knew if there were still people living in theirnd.

    ¡°Humph, China is just so-so. I don¡¯t understand why you are so worried about China winning the championship. I don¡¯t think they can even get into the top three.¡± Lawrence had defeated Li Yi, so he didn¡¯t care about China at all.

    ¡°Let¡¯s hope so,¡± The coach said, feeling oddly guilty at Lawrence¡¯s smugness. But when he looked at the list, he saw that these people weren¡¯t as skilled as Lawrence. He suppressed his uneasiness again.

    The semifinals of the World Masters Tournament were currently in an intensepetition. The members selected by the various national Go Association could directly participate in the finals, while the civilian contestants would have topete online to select 20 contestants from the millions of contestants.

    The semi-finals were based on points. Winning one round would add one point, and losing one round would have one point deducted.

    The higher the score, the higher the score of a suitable opponent.

    At the end of thepetition, the top 20 contestants were chosen to enter the finals.

    In this semifinals, there were a total of two million peoplepeting on the line.

    The people in charge of monitoring the progress of thepetition looked at the rankings list in boredom.

    The higher the score, the stronger the opponent. Many people, who had initially risen in points, slowly began to fight with their opponents. There were no big abnormalities.

    There were only two days left until the semi-finals. The top 20 had been decided. The staff members were bored and sat in the hall ying with their phones.

    ¡°Heavens, look! Is there a problem with our data collection device?¡± In the quiet hall, a reviewer suddenly eximed.

    Everyone perked up and looked at the big screen. Then, they saw an ount called ¡°Xia¡±. In just half a day, it had achieved a hundred consecutive victories that no one had ever achieved before. It directly triggered the safety rm of the harvester.

    Moreover, the points on this ount kept shing with green light.

    This meant that it was still rising!

 Chapter 714 - Princess Into the Top 20!

    <h4>Chapter 714 Princess Into the Top 20!</h4>

    At the start, no one paid much attention to it. After all, there were experts among themon people. It was not difficult to achieve consecutive victories in the simple stages before. Now, among the top 20, they had all achieved consecutive victories.

    But now, they had entered the second tier. The people here were no longer amateurs or spectators. However, the ¡°Xia¡± ount still maintained its winning streak.

    The people who were ying with their phones in the hall were now attracted by the green dot on the screen. ¡°101 consecutive wins!¡±

    A minuteter.

    ¡°102 consecutive wins!¡±

    The green dot continued to move on the rankings, jumping up every once in a while.

    Although everyone was not a participant, they watched as this ount rushed onto the rankings.

    It had stood out from the two million contestants and rushed to the top 100 in one afternoon. It made people inexplicably excited.

    Just as he was about to see if this ount could make it to the top 50, this ount stopped moving

    Everyone waited for a while and realized that it had gone offline.

    Everyone: Oh my god, are all big shots so willful?

    It waste at night in China. After Xia Wanyuan returned from filming, she sat in front of herputer to participate in the semi-finals.

    She had thought that the semi-finals would be more difficult, but she had overestimated her opponent¡¯s skill.

    Although there was no shortage of experts amongst themoners, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s score was rtively low, so her opponent¡¯s skills were average. In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, they were a little too weak.

    After all, in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had been personally taught by the Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s first generation chess saint from the beginning.

    <b>was on</b>

    Furthermore, the chess game was one with the hearts of the people. Xia Wanyuan sat in the world, her heart filled with endless ravines. When she yed chess, she exuded a domineering aura. Ordinary people would not be able tost more than a few rounds against her.

    There was only half a day left until the end of the semi-finals. Xia Wanyuan wanted to rush to the top twenty in one go, but when the clock struck twelve, Jun Shiling entered and turned off herputer.

    ¡°Give me another hour. I¡¯ll go to bed after I¡¯m done.¡± Xia Wanyuan pressed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, wanting to buy more time.

    ¡°No way. Are you not filming tomorrow?¡± Jun Shiling lifted Xia Wanyuan from her seat and said in an unquestionable tone, ¡°Go to bed early and do it tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s not enough time.¡± Xia Wanyuan was helpless, but seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, she knew that Jun Shiling would definitely not allow her to stay upte to do this. Forget it, it was fine even if I entered the top 20 tomorrow. Anyway, we could talk again in the finals.

    ¡°Sleep.¡± He ced Xia Wanyuan under the nket, and then Jun Shilingy down as well.

    ¡°Then sing a song for me. Otherwise, I won¡¯t sleep.¡± Since she was already lying on the bed, Xia Wanyuan felt at ease and prepared to sleep. However, before she slept, she still wanted to gain some benefits for herself. ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan in his arms and gently patted her back. Then he began humming a song that Xia Wanyuan had written.

    Jun Shiling deliberately lowered his voice, sounding like he was helping her sleep. Before long, Xia Wanyuan fell asleep.

    After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling kissed her on the cheek before taking theptop from the side.

    With a quick nce, Jun Shiling memorized Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount and password and logged in easily.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount had a total of 160 points, ranked 100th.

    Jun Shiling pressed the start button.

    At this moment, it was almost time to knock off from work at the Go Competition headquarters. There was amotion in the main hall and the staff had already started packing up to go home.

    ¡°Hey, that Xia ount is online.¡± A sharp-eyed employee looked at the big screen and realized that the gray ount had lit up again.

    Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the big screen.

    That ount startedpeting as soon as it went online.

    At this time, it was time to knock off, but the people in the hall did not move. Everyone stared at the big screen, wanting to see if this magical ¡°Xia¡± would continue to win.

    One minuteter, 161 points, ranked 99th.

    One hourter, 220 points, ranked 15th.

    ¡°Heavens, he¡¯s really too amazing. He¡¯s won consecutively all the way. I¡¯ve been a reviewer here for so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen someone gain points so quickly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, he gained 60 points in an hour, and it¡¯s from the second tier to the first tier. It¡¯s really too fast!!¡±

    Everyone cried out in surprise. At this moment, ¡®Xia¡¯ hadpletely entered the peak stage. At this moment, his opponents were already experts from various ces.

    Everyone was waiting to see if this person would be able to maintain his winning streak. Then, they realized that his ount had turned gray again.

    ¡°He went offline. He probably doesn¡¯t dare to continue. The opponents in front are all very powerful. It¡¯s very risky.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, he should maintain this ranking. When the timees, he can even say that he entered the finals with consecutive victories. This way, it would be nice to hear. Aiyo!!! I¡¯ve been watching thepetition all this while. Look, more than an hour has passed!!¡±

    Only then did everyone realize that it had been a long time since they got off work. They hurriedly picked up their things and walked out.

    In the manor, Jun Shiling turned off hisputer andy down on the nket. Xia Wanyuan, who was deep in sleep, sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s aura and subconsciously hugged him.

    Pulling Xia Wanyuan into his embrace, Jun Shiling thought that it would be enough to help her resolve the phase of wasting time. The rest would be up to Xia Wanyuan herself.

 Chapter 715 - The Princess At The Peak

    <h4>Chapter 715 The Princess At The Peak</h4>

    It was alreadyte at night in China, but the internationalmunity was shocked by the sudden appearance of this dark horse.

    The scores were already more or less settled, and all the major media outlets had even drafted a press release. Now that a dark horse who had won 220 times in a row suddenly appeared, all the major media outlets had no choice but to change their drafts overnight.

    There were too many consecutive victories. In the end, it even rmed the finals officials.

    Because in the semi-finals, everyone¡¯s information was not transparent. Even if they wanted to find out who this person was, they could not. They could only wait for the finals to see who this magical folk expert was.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up to check her ranking.

    She knew that Jun Shiling would definitely help her get a good ranking. Having been together for so long, she was very clear about Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts.

    Jun Shiling was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when the door was suddenly pushed open. Before Jun Shiling could ask Xia Wanyuan what she wanted to do, Xia Wanyuan had already leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. She smiled at Jun Shiling before heading downstairs to eat.

    Jun Shiling, who was in the bathroom, was caught off guard and received a small surprise. He froze for a moment and then swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste.

    When it was time to send Xia Wanyuan to the set, Jun Shiling lightly flicked Xia Wanluan¡¯s forehead. ¡°Next time, don¡¯t kiss me while I¡¯m brushing my teeth. You made me eat a mouthful of toothpaste.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve been married for so long, is there a need for such a big reaction from a kiss?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling speechlessly. Was there a need for this?

    ¡°What do you think?¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Huayuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Even when I¡¯m a hundred years old, I¡¯ll still be moved by your kiss.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense,¡± Xia Wanyuan rebuked, but her eyes were sparkling withughter. In the past, Xia Wanyuan would see Chen Xiaoguo chatting andughing with the crew members when she arrived at the set. However, today, she saw Chen Xiaoguo alone in a corner.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter the group, Chen Xiaoguo looked at her with fear and hatred.

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not know what Jun Shiling had done to the Shi family, she had heard some news over the past few days. The Shi family¡¯s stocks had plummeted and their businesses were in chaos. Shi Tian had not appeared in public these days.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re here. I want to change the angle of yesterday¡¯s scene. Let¡¯s film it again, okay?¡± Wang Weigang walked over when he saw Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    At the headquarters of the International Go Masters Competition, the auditors were already on duty. Today was thest day of the semi-finals and the 20 civilian participants would be advancing soon.

    ¡°Is that Xia online today?¡±

    ¡°No, 15th ce is good enough. It¡¯s good to stop the losses in time. If he loses, he¡¯ll have broken the record of aplete victory.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. I thought he was going to enter the top three based on what he did yesterday.¡±

    The employees gathered together and whispered to each other. They looked regretfully at the big screen. Yesterday, they were all excited when they saw the rankings. They had thought that today¡¯s rankings would be better, but now it seemed like it was impossible.

    On the set, Xia Wanyuan had finallypleted the shoot that Director Wang wanted.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Chen Yun handed a wet towel to Xia Huanyuan, who had just finished filming, and then ced the iced watermelon aside. He waited for Xia Huanyuan to wipe her face before eating. ¡°Your rm just rang. Do you have something to do?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m going to y chess.¡± Xia Wanyuan nonchntly took the phone and leaned back in her recliner. Chen Yun was silent for a moment. He thought it was a big matter and worried him for a long time. But why has Xia Wanyuan be so obsessed with chess recently? She even set an rm.

    However, Chen Yun had never understood Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, so he didn¡¯t feel conflicted. ¡°You eat first. CEO Jun said that it¡¯s hot today, so he sent ice cream over. I¡¯ll go out and get it for you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then directly opened thepetition website with her tablet.

    ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry!! That Xia is online!!¡± In the stadium, the employees who had been paying close attention to the Xia ount immediately discovered that it had lit up.

    ¡°There are only two hours left. What is he doing online now?¡±

    Could it be that this ¡°Xia¡± wanted to make it into the top ten? However, the current first tier team, although not professionals, were still top-notch civilian experts. Under normal circumstances, their confrontation would take more than half an hour.

    It was also very difficult to reach the top ten within two hours.

    However, they soon realized that they had been too naive.

    Half an hour? No way.

    Right now, his opponent was already quite strong. Although he wasn¡¯t as fast as before, he still maintained the speed of beating every contestant in three minutes.

    The employees in the lobby looked at the ount that represented ¡°Xia¡± which jumped up and down on the rankings.

    There was still an hour left before the semi-finals ended, but everyone¡¯s attention was focused at this moment.

    The word ¡°Xia¡± had already steadily surpassed everyone. It stood at the highest point of the semi-finals¡¯ rankings and became the biggest dark horse of the semi-finals!

    All the employees and reporters in the hall went crazy. They had been in the industry for so many years, but they had never seen anyone who could directly kill the first ce in the semi-finals.

    This made them wonder if a retired professional gamer had used a sub ount to participate in thepetition. However, there were only a few retired gamers in the world who could achieve such results.

    They would only know who the mysterious Xia was in the finals.

    ¡°Wow, this person is really amazing. For a civilian contestant to be able to do this, he must have put in a hundred times more effort.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. To be able to defeat so many veteran experts, it means that he must have been hibernating for a long time. He must have gone through many trials and tribtions to have such skills. His hard work has paid off.¡±

    At this moment, the most powerful dark horse, who everyone admired and admired, was leaning on the recliner. She was holding an ice cream cone in one hand and casually tapping on the tablet with the other.

    After eating half a watermelon and an ice cream, the semi-finals were over.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed theptop aside. ¡°Brother Chen, help me arrange a schedule. I¡¯m going to Continent M next week.¡±

    ¡°Alright. That artpetition is two days, right? I¡¯ll apply for three days of leave for you.¡± Chen Yun knew that the Qing University had signed up for the World Art Competition for Xia Wanyuan. It was next week.

    ¡°Add another two days.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought about the process of the Go Masterspetition. Although the twopetitions were not in the same city, at least they were not far from each other. It was just nice that she participated in both.

    ¡°Ah? Okay.¡± Chen Yun thought that after Xia Wanyuan finished participating in thepetition, she would y there for another two days before returning. He did not think much about it and directly agreed.

 Chapter 716 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 716 Untitled</h4>

    ¡°Xiaoguo, why are you so unhappy today?¡± At this moment, the crew members apanied Chen Xiaoguo as they walked past Xia Wan Yuan.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m not. I might be a little unwell. I¡¯ll be fine in a while.¡± Chen Xiaoguo smiled at her colleague. Her eyes subconsciously drifted to Xia Wanyuan, and when she met her icy eyes, she was shocked and quickly retracted her gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to get up, but for some reason, she suddenlyy back down.

    ¡°My tea today is very delicious. You can try my tea leavester.¡± Chen Xiaoguo held a cup in her hand and chatted with her colleagues about her new tea. When she walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, she suddenly stepped on a rock. Her feet slipped and the cup in her hand was about to be poured at Xia Wanyuan. However, just as Chen Xiaoguo was about to throw it out, something hit her wrist and she lost her feeling in her hand. The cup in her hand fell down.

    ¡°AHHH!!¡± A miserable cry sounded.

    The water from the cupnded directly on Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s feet. It was summer and she was barefooted. The boiling water instantly scalded ayer of skin off her feet.

    Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s cry was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the production team. When they saw Chen Xiaoguo squatting on the ground and crying pitifully, the flesh on her feet became blurry and everyone was shocked. They quickly called for an ambnce.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re too much! Guo Guo is such a good girl. Even if you hate her, you can¡¯t do this!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! People are made of flesh. Miss Xia, you¡¯re so cruel!¡±

    When everyone came over, they saw Chen Xiaoguo squatting in front of Xia Wanyuan and crying. Their rtionship had never been good, and everyone knew it, so they subconsciously thought that Xia Wanyuan had bullied Chen Xiaoguo.

    Xia Wanyuan sat up from her recliner, her gaze sweeping over the people who had just scolded her righteously. When those people met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, their hearts trembled. ¡°Who said I did it?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold voice instantly dampened the atmosphere. ¡°Ah, it hurts! Where¡¯s the doctor? Why isn¡¯t he here yet?!¡± Chen Xiaoguo suddenly wailed, looking pitiful.

    The colleague who had apanied Chen Xiaoguo earlier thought of Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s real name that she had identally discovered. She hardened her heart and said, ¡°I came here with Guo Guo just now. When we got here, Guo Guo suddenly tripped and I got a shock.¡±

    This colleague¡¯s ambiguous words seemed to have instantly condemned Xia Wanyuan. Everyone turned their using gazes towards her.

    ¡°Wanyuan is not that kind of person.¡± Director Wang Wei walked over at this moment and nced unhappily at the crowd. ¡°Guo Guo, do you think Wan Yuan did it?¡±

    At this time, the ambnce had arrived. The medical staff carried a stretcher over. Chen Xiaoguo cried until she was out of breath and did not answer Wang Wei. Soon, she was taken away by the ambnce.

    ¡°How vicious. This kind of person is a role model.¡±

    ¡°Exactly. She looks beautiful, and her heart is like a snake¡¯s.¡±

    After Chen Xiaoguo was carried away, everyone whispered to each other.

    ¡°Director, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± The colleague who had apanied Chen Xiaoguo earlier felt guilty and did not dare stay near Xia Wanyuan for long. ¡°Wait.¡± Before she could turn around, Xia Wanyuan called out to her.

    ¡°You guys don¡¯t leave either.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up. The crew members who were about to leave were stopped by her words.

    ¡°Do you really think you don¡¯t have to take any responsibility for spreading rumors and gossip?¡± Xia Wanyuan swept a nce at the people present. Everyone felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, suffocating them.

 Chapter 717 - 7 Domineering Princess

    <h4>Chapter 717 Domineering Princess</h4>

    ¡°Miss Xia, what do you mean by this?¡± Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s might, the scene was silent. Finally, someone could not help but ask.

    ¡°Coincidentally, Director Wang is here too. Miss Zhang, please tell us what happened just now. Was I the one who poured water and caused Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s wound?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at her colleague who was standing at the side.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Zhang Qi clenched her fists and looked carefully at Director Wang Wei. ¡°Just now, when Guo Guo and I walked over, she suddenly fell. Perhaps she tripped over Miss Xia¡¯s foot.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze made her feel guilty, when she thought of Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s identity, Zhang Qi hardened her heart.

    The cameras here had been destroyed long ago, and there weren¡¯t many people passing by just now. Now, they had to believe whatever she said.

    If she could sessfully drag Xia Wanyuan into the water and make Chen Xiaoguo happy, she could be a female lead in her next movie.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Qi became even more courageous than before.

    ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is that I deliberately let the water ssh onto Chen Xiaoguo?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked Zhang Qi. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯m sorry. Guo Guo is my good friend. I don¡¯t want to see her hurt.¡± Since she had already made up her mind, Zhang Qi hardened her heart and admitted it.

    When everyone heard this, they were about to criticize her.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the cup beside her. ¡°Ssh water? Is it like this?¡±

    Before anyone could react to what Xia Wanyuan was trying to do, Xia Wanyuan had already thrown a cup of water at Zhang Qi.

    Although the water in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cup wasn¡¯t boiling hot, it was still seventy to eighty degrees. Instantly, Zhang Qi¡¯s arm was scalded red. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already said that I sshed it, wouldn¡¯t I be at a disadvantage if I didn¡¯t do it?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Zhang Qi.

    Zhang Qi started wailing loudly. Director Wang Wei was having a headache. An ambnce had just left and now another one had arrived. Those who did not know better would think that something had happened to the production team.

    ncing at the angry crew members who were about toe after her, Xia Wanyuan reached for her phone and handed it to Director Wang Wei.

    Although the surveince cameras here are broken, my phone coincidentally recorded how Chen Xiaoguo got scalded.¡±

    After saying this, Xia Wanyuan leaned back in her recliner and leisurely ate a mouthful of watermelon. Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, modern cell phones sure are convenient.

    If I had a cell phone in my previous life, I would have been able to solve many problems. I would not have needed to dig out the truth.

    After Director Wang Wei finished watching the video on her cell phone, displeasure shed across his eyes. Seeing that everyone was still gathered here, he said, ¡°Why are you all still gathered around here and not working?¡±

    ¡°Director, my arm.¡± Zhang Qi looked at Director Wang Wei with teary eyes.

    ¡°Someone, go and find her a doctor. Also, get someone to pay her sry. You don¡¯t have toe back tomorrow. You¡¯re full of lies. My production team doesn¡¯t keep people like you.¡± Wang Wei looked at Zhang Qi in disgust. She lied to me in front of so many people. She was hopeless.

    After the director finished speaking, the people around him were stunned. They looked at Zhang Qi withplicated expressions. It turned out that Zhang Qi was lying. ¡°Director, I.¡± Zhang Qi wanted to say something, but Director Wang Wei had already left. She turned to the others for help.

    The film crew were not fools. No one would offend the director for her sake. They smiled awkwardly and left, leaving Zhang Qi hugging her scalded arm and crying non-stop.

    Sensing that Zhang Qi was about to say something, Xia Wanyuan spoke first. ¡°If you continue to be an eyesore here, you can try and see if you still want this arm of yours.¡± Zhang Qi swallowed her words angrily. The burning pain in her arm reminded her of what Xia Wanyuan had just done.

    She didn¡¯t dare provoke Xia Wanyuan, so she could only sullenly leave.

    After what had just happened, the film crew no longer dared to gossip about her.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was able to ssh hot water on Zhang Qi¡¯s fair arms without any hesitation. She was too ruthless. No one wanted to go to the hospital at work.

    ¡°Wanyuan, shouldn¡¯t we find an opportunity to invite the cast and crew to a meal together? Isn¡¯t it not good if your rtionship is too strained?¡± Chen Yun handed Xia Wanyuan an ice cream.

    ¡°This is thest one. You can¡¯t eat anymore. If CEO Jun finds out that you ate so much cold food today, I¡¯ll be finished.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan tore open the package and licked it. ¡°What¡¯s there to invite? I don¡¯t need their

    goodwill.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been in a high position for many years and could see through people¡¯s hearts.

    These people in the production team were just colleagues who had interacted with each other for a period of time. What was the use of trying to curry favor with them? She did not rely on other people¡¯s favor to make a living.

    Furthermore, those people only dared to point fingers at her because she was still young. When she stood at the peak, the first people who woulde to suck up to her would be those who had scolded her before.

    ¡°Alright, whatever you say.¡± Chen Yun was only giving a suggestion. Seeing Xia Wanyuan eat the second ice-cream, Chen Yun was extremely worried.

    If this little ancestor ate something bad, CEO Jun would kill me. However, he could not reject Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request. Every time Xia Wanyuan said something, he subconsciously felt that it was like an imperial edict. It was really too difficult to survive between two big bosses.

    However, he did not have the time to worry about his own life. ording to the nature of the team behind Chen Xiaoguo, the news report about Xia Wanyuan hurting Chen Xiaoguo would be released soon. He had to make preparations early.

    Apartment.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m about to leave. Aren¡¯t you going to say something to me?¡± Bo Xiao dragged his luggage and pretended to leave, but his eyes were fixed on An Rao, who was sitting on the sofa.

    Ever since he woke up in the morning, An Rao had been sitting quietly on the sofa. Even now, when he was about to leave, An Rao still did not speak.

    ¡°I¡¯m really leaving?¡± Bo Xiao moved his luggage. ¡°Sigh, no one is sending me off when I leave. I¡­¡±

    Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, An Rao¡¯s tears fell drop by drop. ¡°Ancestor, don¡¯t cry. My heart aches.¡± Bo Xiao did not have the mood to tease An Rao anymore. He felt that An Rao¡¯s tears had hit his heart. He quickly threw his luggage aside and went forward to hug her. ¡°Boohoo, I can¡¯t bear to leave you.¡± An Rao cried until she was out of breath.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Bo Xiao patted An Rao¡¯s head gently. ¡°Wu Wu Wu.¡± An Rao could not hold back her tears.

    ¡°Trust me.¡± Bo Xiao kissed away the tears in An Rao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon. When the timees, I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to do. I¡¯ll go wherever you go. I¡¯ll apany you to work every day, okay?¡±.

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao sobbed and nodded. ¡°You must miss me,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve turned you into a wallpaper for my phone. Look, I miss you every day,¡± Bo Xiao said as he tapped on his phone.

    The wallpaper on the phone was actually a HD picture of Old Lian Po.

    ¡°You bastard.¡± An Rao couldn¡¯t hold back herughter and punched Bo Xiao

 Chapter 718 - CEO Jun Out All Night

    <h4>Chapter 718 CEO Jun Out All Night</h4>

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a jerk.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and kissed An Rao. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m leaving. Don¡¯t cry anymore. You¡¯re ugly to begin with. You¡¯ll look even uglier when you cry.¡±

    ¡°Bullsh * t, why are you kissing me when I¡¯m ugly?¡± An Rao pped Bo Xiao hard.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I like ugly.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox eyes narrowed. ¡°I¡¯ll call you when I get there. Be

    good.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± An Rao nodded. ¡°You have to carry the prayer beads I gave youst time.¡± ¡°Got it. Look.¡± Bo Xiao waved his wrist in front of An Rao. ¡°I take it with me every day. I¡¯ll go to the airport myself. You stay at home.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao did not dare to go to the airport. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and get on the ne with Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao stood up and nted a kiss on An Rao¡¯s forehead. ¡°Love you.¡± Then he strode forward, picked up his luggage and left without looking back.

    Hearing the door m, An Rao¡¯s tears continued to fall, but the person did note and tease her again.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Bo Xiao was leaving today, so she called An Rao after filming. As expected, she heard An Rao crying.

    ¡°Do you want to move to the manor for two days tomorrow? I¡¯ll bring you to y games.¡± Xia Wanyuan tried tofort An Rao.

    ¡°No, I want to hold on to my memories with Bo Xiao in this room.¡± An Rao stubbornly refused, even giving up her favorite game.

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless. She felt that there was something wrong with An Rao¡¯s brain.

    ¡°Alright, then you hold onto your memories yourself. Xiao Bao left you a gift. I¡¯ll tell him you don¡¯t want it anymore.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t.¡± An Rao wiped her tears. ¡°I¡¯lle tomorrow. Sister, wait for me.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the filming set. The staff were all avoiding Xia Wanyuan, afraid that this person would pour water on them.

    For the first time today, Jun Shiling did note to pick up Xia Wanyuan. Thinking that he should be very busy, Xia Wanyuan drove back to the manor herself.

    Before dinner, Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan a call and told her that he would be backter. After that, there was no reply.

    Until ten at night, Xiao Bao had fallen asleep, but Jun Shiling had not returned.

    Xia Wanyuan walked downstairs. Uncle Wang had just hung up when Xia Wanyuan keenly caught the worry on Uncle Wang¡¯s face.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, how¡¯s Grandfather¡¯s health?¡±

    ¡°Ah? Madam, you already know?¡± Uncle Wang was a little surprised. Jun Shiling had just instructed him not to let Xia Wanyuan know.

    ¡°Which hospital?¡±

    ¡°West City.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan already knew about it, Uncle Wang no longer hid it from her.

    The lights in the operating theater of the West City Hospital were still on.

    ¡°CEO Jun, why don¡¯t you go back first? I¡¯ll report to you if there¡¯s any news,¡± Lin Jing advised Jun Shiling.

    ¡°No need. I¡¯ll wait here. Go tell Madam that I have to work overtime today and tell her not to wait for me.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the operating theater worriedly. The old man had always been in good health, but he was old after all. When he was changing the bird¡¯s cage in the yard, he lost his bnce and fell to the ground.

    If it was a young man, he would have recovered after a few days of recuperation. However, the old man was in his seventies. With a fall of his bones, he was immediately sent to the hospital.

    ¡°You knew that I would be waiting for you?¡± A cold voice came from not far away. Jun Shiling looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan walking towards them.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jun Shiling hurriedly stood up. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had arrived, Lin Jing retreated with great tact.

    ncing at the operating theater¡¯s lights, Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that Grandfather was injured?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll worry.¡± The autumn night was a little chilly. Jun Shiling took off his coat and put it on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± Xia Wanyuan adjusted her coat. Jun Shiling¡¯s aura instantly enveloped her.

    ¡°He hit his head. It¡¯s a dangerous situation, but the experts are all in there. He should be fine.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll wait with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. Jun Shiling held it back.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for making you worry.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the time. It was almost 12 am. It was supposed to be time for Xia Wanyuan to sleep.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you can¡¯t do this.¡±

 Chapter 719 - God-given Fate

    <h4>Chapter 719 God-given Fate</h4>

    ¡°What about me?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.

    ¡°Your grandfather is also my grandfather. If you don¡¯t let me know, are you not treating me as a family?¡±

    ¡°Of course not. Why would you think that way? I just don¡¯t want you to worry,¡± Jun Shiling hurriedly exined. It was fine for me to bear the burden alone.

    ¡°But whether it¡¯s good or bad, I want to bear it with you. You didn¡¯t tell me and still think it¡¯s for my own good.¡±

    ¡°I was wrong.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms. ¡°I¡¯ll hug you and you can rest for a while. I¡¯ll call you when the surgery is over.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you. Tell me about you and Grandfather.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan interlocked their fingers and told her about his childhood in detail.

    Lin Jing looked over from afar. In the long hospital corridor, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were leaning against each other. It was as if time had lost its meaning in front of them.

    Lin Jing was a little envious. How fortunate it was to have such a partner in one¡¯s lifetime.

    Although Xia Wanyuan wanted to apany him, her biological clock was very powerful. In the end, Xia Wanyuan was listening to Jun Shiling with half-closed eyes.

    After some time, the door of the operating theater finally opened.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the surgery went smoothly, but Old Master fell quite badly. He needs to be hospitalized for observation.¡± The specialist walked out and reported the situation to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan followed the doctors into the ward.

    The old man had just finished his surgery and looked much better. He was sleeping peacefully.

    In the ward specially prepared for Old Master Jun, there was an apanying bed. Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the apanying bed. ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯ll look after Grandfather.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded in a daze. ¡°Wake me up in three hours. I¡¯ll help you take a look.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling tucked Xia Wanyuan in. When he looked at her again, she was already sound asleep. Jun Shiling went over to take a look at Old Master¡¯s condition before returning to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bedside. He held her hand under the nket.

    Although he had promised Xia Wanyuan to call her three hourster, Jun Shiling had never thought of calling her up to rece him.

    However, three hourster, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes.

    It was still pitch ck outside the window. Xia Wanyuan moved a little. Jun Shiling, who was watching theputer, immediately turned around. ¡°Why are you awake?¡±

    ¡°Take a nap.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a meeting today? How can you not take a break?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have to. You can sleep on your own.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not care. She half dragged Jun Shiling onto the bed. ¡°Sleep, or I¡¯ll ignore you. I¡¯ll call youter.¡±

    Jun Shiling had no choice. ¡°Okay.¡± Then, he closed his eyes.

    As they were talking, they did not notice that

    On the hospital bed not far away, the old man opened his eyes. However, he quickly closed them and smiled.

    Listening to the couple¡¯s soft whispers, the old master thought that when he recovered, he would definitely renovate the Taoist temple outside the city.

    Back then, if not for Priest Zhang¡¯s firm guarantee that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were a match made in heaven, he would not have made up his mind to force Jun Shiling to marry Xia Wanyuan.

    From the looks of it now, Jun Shiling marrying Xia Wanyuan was not just a heaven-sent opportunity. It was likely that the Jun family had done good deeds for many years to have such a good wife.

    When the Old Master woke up again, Jun Shiling was sitting beside him. ¡°Why don¡¯t you have to go to work?¡± After a night of rest, the old master felt much better.

    ¡°It has been changed to a video conference. How do you feel, Grandpa?¡± Jun Shiling put theptop aside.

    ¡°Much better. Where¡¯s Wanyuan?¡± The old master took a look but did not see her.

    ¡°She went downstairs. She¡¯ll be up in a minute.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Ah Ling. Although Grandpa knows it¡¯s a little redundant, I still want to say something. Wanyuan is such a good girl. You must treat her well since you have the good fortune from your past life.¡±

    Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling smiled gently. ¡°Grandpa, I know.¡±

    ¨C

    ¨C

    Downstairs, Xia Wanyuan asked the doctor about Old Master¡¯s condition. She was about to go upstairs when she was stopped by someone.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan?¡± A well-maintaineddy frowned at her.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    The wealthydy did not answer. She raised her hand and was about to hit Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Little slut, how dare you harm my daughter.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze turned cold as she grabbed thedy¡¯s wrist.

    ¡°Let go!¡± The wealthydy felt as if her hand was about to break from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s grip. She hurriedly shouted inside, ¡°Hubby!!¡±

    Soon, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, apanied by a familiar face.

    ¡°Let go of my wife!¡± Shi Jian reprimanded loudly.

    ¡°Hubby, this little b * tch hurt our Guo Guo so badly.¡± Seeing Shi Jiane over, the wealthydy was emboldened.

    ¡°Guo Guo, is that her?¡± Shi Jian quickly turned around and asked Chen Xiaoguo.

    ¡°Yes, Dad, it hurts.¡± Chen Xiaoguo nodded her head, feeling wronged. Since there was no one from the crew around, Chen Xiaoguo did not intend to continue pretending.

    Seeing that his daughter was about to sit on the wheelchair as her feet were scalded, Shi Jian¡¯s eyes shed with ruthlessness. ¡°Someone, bring this woman back.¡±

    As soon as Shi Jian finished speaking, several bodyguards rushed out from the side.

    <h4>Chapter 720 Violently Beating Chen Xiaoguo Up</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan exerted strength in her hands, and with a crack, thedy let out a miserable scream. The bodyguards were worried about Madam Shi¡¯s safety and did not dare to go forward.

    Shi Jian gave them a look, and the bodyguards went forward to grab Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan threw thedy onto Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s body. Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s bandaged wound immediately started bleeding.

    The doctors and nurses heard themotion and hurried over to stop them.

    ¡°Director, you came at the right time. Don¡¯t let her family stay here. Chase them out.¡± Shi Jian waved his hand when he saw the director.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, the director respectfully walked up to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Of everyone present, only the director had seen Xia Wanyuanst night and knew her identity.

    ¡°Director, you...¡± Shi Jian did not expect the principal to be so disrespectful to him. Just as he was about tosh out at the other party...

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Please let everyone go back first. I have something to tell Mr. Shi.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The others looked at the director¡¯s respectful attitude and were puzzled. Wasn¡¯t this Xia Wanyuan a university teacher at best? She shouldn¡¯t be treated this way by the director. (italics)

    Even though they were filled with doubts, the director asked them to leave, so they could only return to their offices.

    After the others left, Xia Wanyuan nced at Chen Xiaoguo, who was frowning.

    Originally, she didn¡¯t want to argue with Chen Xiaoguo. After all, she was very busy, but this person kept haunting her. At first, she had countless ways to punish Chen Xiaoguo, but now, she chose the simplest and crudest method.

    Xia Wanyuan flexed her wrists, then opened the fire hydrant beside her.

    ¡°What are you trying to do?!¡± Sensing the sudden tyrannical aura around Xia Wanyuan, Shi Jian narrowed his eyes. This woman looked young, but her aura was not small. (italics)

    Xia Wanyuan said nothing. She pulled out the fire extinguisher from the cab.

    Even though the bodyguards quickly reacted and wanted to stop her, Xia Wanyuan was even faster. She shed to the side of the gym and smashed the bottle on Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s shoulder without hesitation.

    Everyone could clearly hear the sound of bones cracking.

    ¡°This is where you get people to let loose of my wires.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, she hit Chen Xiao Guo¡¯s arm again. Chen Xiaoguo let out a loud cry. She could clearly feel her bones breaking

    ¡°Are you trying to rebel?!¡± Shi Jian hurriedly pulled Xia Wanyuan away, but she dodged slightly and pped Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s face. Chen Xiaoguo could not shun even if she wanted to.

    ¡°Since you have raised such a daughter who likes to spread rumors, then don¡¯t me others for helping you educate her.¡± Xia Wanyuan was extremely fast,pleting this series of actions in the blink of an eye. Xia Wanyuan retreated and stood to the side.

    ¡°How dare you! Beat her to death!¡± Shi Jian had never been treated like this before. Seeing Chen Xiaoguo in pain, Shi Jian waspletely enraged.

    Upon receiving Shi Jian¡¯s order, the bodyguards immediately drew their metal rods from their waists and threw them at Xia Wanyuan. The force was so strong that Xia Wanyuan was about to be beaten to death.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was slightly cold as she pulled a bodyguard beside her to block the first wave of attacks.

    Upstairs, after hearing the director¡¯s anxious report, Jun Shiling rushed downstairs inrge strides, only to see bodyguards lying on the floor in the corridor. As for Xia Wanyuan, she stood by the side unharmed.

    Jun Shiling felt a little helpless. Why is her skills getting better as she fought? (italics)

    ¡°Hubby, my hand hurts.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling walk over, Xia Wanyuan reached out her hand to him in a spoiled manner. Xia Wanyuan knew that this way, Jun Shiling would not be angry with her.

    Jun Shiling walked over and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, rubbing it for her. His tone was affectionate as he said, ¡°You fought again.¡±

    Shi Jian, who had originally wanted to call more people to help after seeing how tough Xia Wanyuan was, forgot to even hang up when he saw their actions. ¡°C-CEO Jun?!¡± The phone fell to the floor with a loud thud. Shi Jian¡¯s eyes almost popped out.

    What kind of person was Jun Shiling? No matter how many times he wanted to see Jun Shiling, he couldn¡¯t get his wish. Today, he actually met him.

    ¡°Hubby, quickly go in and take a look. Guo Guo¡¯s injuries are very serious. Quickly call the doctor over. You can¡¯t let this b * tch off.¡± Thedy walked out with her broken arm andined, ¡°I don¡¯t know where these doctors went. I didn¡¯t see any of them.¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze shift over, Shi Jian hurriedly berated his wife.

    ¡°Who are you calling a b*tch?¡± Jun Shiling asked in a low voice.

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s that b * tch Xia Wanyuan!¡± The noblewoman was fully focused on her wound and did not even look up to see who was next to her. When she heard Jun Shiling¡¯s question, she immediately said it. Shi Jian could not stop her even if he wanted to.

 Chapter 721 - Princess Relationship

    <h4>Chapter 721 Princess Rtionship</h4>

    ¡°Shut your mouth. What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turn darker and darker, Shi Jian hurriedly pulled his wife¡¯s sleeve.

    ¡°Aiyah!! My hand was broken by that little slut, yet you pulled me!! If you don¡¯t stop this little slut today¡­¡± Before the noblewoman could finish speaking, Bang! She was pped to the ground by Shi Jian. Shi Jian¡¯s p was very forceful. A pool of blood immediately flowed out of the corners of his wife¡¯s lips. Her face was swollen and she was stunned from the p. She did not react for a moment.

    ¡°Shut your mouth. You¡¯re the slut!¡± Shi Jian scolded his wife loudly, then lowered his head and bowed in front of Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, calm down. Women are insensible and speak nonsense. Please don¡¯t be calctive.¡±

    ¡°The Shi family is not bad.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and did not even look at Shi Jian. All his attention was on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Are you hungry? Go up and eat something.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and allowed Jun Shiling to pull her away.

    Shi Jian looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s leaving figure and wanted to chase after him, but he did not dare.

    ¡°Shi Jian! How dare you hit me! We¡¯re not done!¡± At this moment, the noblewoman recovered and pounced on Shi Jian.

    However, to her surprise, Shi Jian did not resist at all and allowed her to scratch, bite, and kick him.

    The noblewoman grabbed Shi Jian and hit him for a long time before realizing that he looked as if he had lost his soul. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Shi Jian leaned against the wall and gradually slid to the ground. His legs could not support him anymore. Jun Shiling¡¯s words about the Shi family being not bad kept lingering in his mind.

    ¡°The Shi family is finished,¡± he kept whispering. He seemed to have aged ten years.

    Upstairs, the old master was lying on the bed while the nurse was giving him a nutrient solution. Seeing Xia Wanyuan and the rest enter, the old master waved.

    ¡°Grandpa, how are you feeling?¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped forward.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing much for the old man. Go ahead and do your work. The hospital here is taking good care of me. There¡¯s no need to guard me here.¡±

    ¡°Then go back to thepany first. I can take two more days off. I¡¯ll take care of Grandpa here.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling had too many things on hand, and a video conference could not resolve them.

    After Jun Shiling left, Xia Wanyuan informed Chen Yun and apanied Old Master in the ward.

    When one was old, they were probably the same, as they liked to hear interesting things about their children and grandchildren.

    Xia Wanyuan sat by the bed and told Old Master about the interesting things that had happened to Xiao Bao when he was young. She told him about her experience when she and Jun Shiling went out to y. Old Master listened with relish.

    For the entire day, Xia Wanyuan stayed in the ward very patiently and observed the situation.

    When Old Master woke up, he saw Xia Wanyuan sitting by the window reading, like a nobledy who had walked out of time. ¡°Wanyuan,¡± Old Master called out to her.

    ¡°Yes, Grandpa, what do you need?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat over.

    ¡°You must be good with Ah Ling. It¡¯s his blessing to have you.¡±

    A good mistress could give the Jun family half of their lives. Xia Wanyuan being the daughter-inw of the Jun family would allow them to benefit for many years.

    ¡°Yes, Grandpa.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly. It was also my blessing to have met Jun Shiling

    Xia Wanyuan had been apanying him in the hospital for two days, and Old Master¡¯s condition was gradually improving. In the blink of an eye, it was time for Xia Wanyuan to set off for Continent M. Xia Wanyuan finally returned to the manor, packed her luggage, and got into the car to the airport. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just stay and take care of Grandpa. I¡¯m only leaving for a few days.¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm, but Jun Shiling¡¯s expression remained dark.

    It had only been a few days since Old Master¡¯s surgery, so he definitely couldn¡¯t leave Beijing. ¡°Then be careful,¡± Jun Shiling instructed and looked at Xia Yu, who was trying to reduce his presence. ¡°Protect your sister.¡± ¡°I know, Brother-inw. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll beat up whoever dares to bully my sister home,¡± Xia Yu hurriedly promised.

    Only then did Jun Shiling lean over and whisper in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, ¡°You must miss

    me¡­¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    Xia Yu secretly nced from the side. Even though he had seen this scene often recently, he was still cringed by the sweet atmosphere between the two of them.

    If he told those people in the cheetah assault team that the iron-blooded founder of the assault team, the leader who had once led a team to save an entire city, was a person who asked his wife for hugs and kisses every day, no one would believe him.

    ¡°I missed you even before you left.¡± Ignoring Xia Yu¡¯s gaze, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and rubbed her hand reluctantly. He really could not bear to be separated from Xia Wanyuan for so long.

    ¡°I¡¯ll call you.¡± Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Wait for me toe back.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± What was the use of a phone? He still could not see or touch her. Jun Shiling was unhappy. This unhappinesssted until Xia Wanyuan got out of the car.

    ncing at Jun Shiling¡¯s dark expression, Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu. ¡°Go down first. I¡¯lleter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu got out of the car tactfully.

    Five minutester, Xia Wanyuan finally got out of the car. Her eyes were bright and her red lips were moist.

    Meanwhile, someone in the car was coaxed into obedience.

    The ne flew towards the blue sky, but before Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu left the country,

    on Weibo, the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship¡± had already broken into the top three searches in real time.

 Chapter 722 - Sister Must Love Me Very Mu

    <h4>Chapter 722 Sister Must Love Me Very Much!</h4>

    Chen Yun had already gone to Continent M to arrange food and amodation beforehand. Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t like too many people together and rejected the entourage arranged by Qing University. Hence, only Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu appeared at the airport.

    Xia Wanyuan was now an extremely famous person in the nation. During the security checks, she took off her mask and sunsses. Her stunning appearance and temperament made her the focus of the entire venue. Many people present had taken photos of her. Beside her in the photo was a tall and handsome young man. Although there was only a side profile, it was exquisite and had a hard curve, mixed with the innocence of a young man. It reminded one of the first sip of soda that had been iced in summer, and one would be intoxicated by it.

    [ Mommy, it looks like a siblings rtionship! ]

    [ This person looks a little familiar, but seriously, he¡¯s quite handsome. I can really do this kind of younger brother. ]

    (F*ck! It¡¯s a younger brother! It¡¯s a real younger brother! Ahhh! This is Xia Yu! ]

    Although passers-by guessed that he was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend at first, Xia Yu¡¯s fans quickly realized that he was their long-lost idol, Xia Yu.

    [ Who is Xia Yu? ] A passer-by asked.

    Soon, the ssic video of Xia Yu calling her sister was dug out again.

    The young man, looking handsome and obedient, in the video called her sister gently.

    Theizens were all stirred by this ¡°sister¡±.

    The trending topic ¡°Brother is back¡± quickly soared to the top of the trending list, and ¡°National Brother¡± appeared again.

    On the ne to Continent M, Xia Yu was looking at Xia Wanyuan with his face propped

    up.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Seeing that Xia Yu had been in this position for a long time, Xia Wanyuan finally couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    ¡°You look so ordinary. How can you have a handsome younger brother like me?¡± Xia Yu was a little embarrassed when Xia Wanyuan grabbed him.

    Hmph, he did not want to admit that he felt that Xia Wanyuan was more beautiful. He had walked through so many countries and seen so many beauties recently, but he still felt that his sister was the most beautiful.

    Xia Wanyuan pped Xia Yu on the head. ¡°Bring me something to drink if you have nothing to do.¡±

    ¡°Ouch, Sister, it hurts!¡± Xia Yu pretended to be in pain. He covered his head and whined to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get a bottle of c back. Don¡¯t you like that?¡± Xia Wanyuan said and prepared to get up.

    Xia Yu, who had been looking miserable a moment ago, jumped up. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll get it.¡±

    Turning around, Xia Yu smiled. Hey! Xia Wanyuan still remembered that I liked to drink c! Xia Wanyuan must really like her younger brother!

    Fortunately, spirits were not allowed after the country was founded. Otherwise, one could see that Xia Yu¡¯s tail was already sticking up.

    After more than ten hours of travel, the ne finallynded in Continent M.

    Xia Yu often went to all sorts of ces and was familiar with the ce. He brought Xia Wanyuan out of the airport quickly. The airport was bustling with people. Xia Yu excitedly introduced the things in the airport to Xia Wanyuan, who listened with interest.

    There were many peopleing and going. Caught off guard, they bumped into someone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and apologized.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± The person who spoke was an Asian man with gray hair and a tired expression. Although this man looked like he did not have enough energy, there was a terrifying dignity in his eyes.

    ¡°I want to ask if you know where to get a taxi?¡± The man spoke Chinese as if it was his first time at the airport here.

    ¡°Over there.¡± Xia Yu led the way.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± The man thanked Xia Yu and smiled kindly at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Thisdy is so beautiful.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sister.¡± Xia Yu looked at the man suspiciously. There was nothing else in his eyes.

    However, the inexplicable praise for Xia Wanyuan still made him feel a little strange, so he pulled her away.

    What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that as the gray-haired man watched Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu¡¯s backs gradually disappear into the sea of people, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

    ¡°What a good child. She¡¯s even more outstanding than in the photos and videos.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure hadpletely disappeared before the person finally retracted his gaze and whispered.

 Chapter 723 - My Sister Is Not a Trash Identification Machine

    <h4>Chapter 723 My Sister Is Not a Trash Identification Machine</h4>

    Xia Yu pulled Xia Wanyuan towards the parking lot, only to see her looking thoughtful. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sister?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that the person just now was a little strange, but she did not feel any hostility from him.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook off the thoughts in her mind.

    Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu stood by the roadside and waited for Chen Yun to drive over. In just three minutes, three waves of blond and blue-eyed handsome men had alreadye to flirt.

    The phone rang. Xia Wanyuan took out her phone and saw that it was indeed Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Are you there?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I just arrived.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll arrange a hotel for you.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan in the video, Jun Shiling missed her terribly and nagged. ¡°Miss, did you juste to America? Let¡¯s get to know each other. My name is Janis.¡± Halfway through Jun Shiling¡¯s sentence, an english-speaking voice appeared in the video.

    ¡°No need.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head.

    ¡°Beauty, you¡¯re so pretty. Can you leave your phone number? Or where are you going? I¡¯ll send you.¡± Facing such a beautiful person, Janis was persistent.

    ¡°Move. Can¡¯t you see that my sister doesn¡¯t want to talk to you?¡± Xia Yu stood in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    There was still a physical difference between the men of the East and West. Although Xia Yu was tall, he was still a little thinpared to Janis.

    Janis took a step forward, wanting to get closer to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Yu grabbed Janis¡¯s arm and exerted some strength.

    ¡°Ah! Let go! Let go!¡± Janis screamed in pain.

    ¡°Are you wrong?¡± Xia Yu rolled his eyes. How dare he flirt with my sister like this?

    ¡°I¡¯m wrong, I¡¯m wrong.¡± Janis felt that his arm was about to shatter. When Xia Yu let go of him, he still could not understand why this Asian man looked thin and weak, but could explode with so much strength.

    Janis covered his hands and ran far away. Being mocked by his friends for being unable to defeat a young man, he exined to his friends vividly, ¡°The Chinese really know martial arts!!! They can lift a bull with their bare hands!!¡±

    Hence, the rumors that Chinese people knew martial arts were spread again.

    In the video, Jun Shiling seemed to have pressed the pause button. Xia Wanyuan called out to him but there was no reaction. ¡°Jun Shiling, are you stuck?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice came from the video. ¡°I was just thinking that I¡¯m going to Continent M too.¡±

    She had just gotten off the ne and someone was already hitting on her. After being gone for so long, who knew how many people were coveting Xia Wanyuan? Jun Shiling was worried.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough. I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. The car is here.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone in amusement.

    Although Jun Shiling had reserved a room for Xia Wanyuan alone, she still represented Qing University to participate in the artpetition. Hence, the group chose the official hotel closest to the art museum for thepetition.

    At that moment, artists from all countries entered the hotel.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Master Yuan Wanxia?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just gotten out of the car when a strange voice appeared beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. A middle-aged man who looked like a Chinese was staring intently at Xia Wanyuan.

    Cui Jian sized Xia Wanyuan up. This woman was really beautiful, but it was also her who had caused my junior brother¡¯s reputation to be tarnished in Han Country.

    The Cui family was a famous art family in Han Country. As his younger cousin, Cui Yongjun was already somewhat famous. Because of a Light Error, Yuan Wanxia made it impossible for him to establish himself in Han Country. Even the entire Cui family had been mocked in Han Country recently. ¡°How sarcastic.¡± Xia Yu rolled his eyes. ¡°Sister, do you know him?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at him and retracted her gaze.

    ¡°How amazing is Master Yuan Wanxia? How will she know others?¡± Cui Jian continued to be sarcastic.

    ¡°My sister isn¡¯t a trash identification machine. Do you expect her to know all the trash in the world?¡± Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help but retort.

    ¡°You!¡± Cui Jian¡¯s eyes widened in anger. How dare he call me trash?!

    ¡°You¡¯re crazy.¡± Xia Yu stood in front of Xia Wanyuan and the few of them entered the hotel, leaving Cui Jian behind, gnashing his teeth.

 Chapter 724 - 13th Floor

    <h4>Chapter 724 13th Floor</h4>

    The registration process for checking in was done quickly. Chen Yun brought Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu to verify their identities and went upstairs.

    A few groups of people were gathered at the elevator. Thispetition was a worldwide meeting. Those who could participate were all famous people. Everyone knew each other.

    Xia Wanyuan stood by the side and listened to these people¡¯s greetings.

    ¡°Mr. Cui, you¡¯re here too? Your girl painting is not bad.¡± Someone suddenly saw Cui Jian in the crowd.

    Cui Jian was different from Cui Junyong. Cui Junyong learned Chinese painting techniques, while Cui Jian learned Western painting techniques. He had be famous at a young age and now had a ce in the international painting industry. Furthermore, he was a high-profile person and liked to participate in all kinds of activities, so many people knew him.

    ¡°Master An, you¡¯re too kind. This time, seeing Master An, I have to learn from you.¡± Cui Jian¡¯s tone waspletely different from how he had treated Xia Wanyuan.

    By the time Cui Jian greeted everyone present one by one, the elevator had alreadye down.

    ¡°Come in together, Master Yuan Wanxia?¡± A group of people surged into the elevator, but Xia Wanyuan and the rest did not move. Cui Jian waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the space that could amodate half a person and was silent.

    The corners of Cui Jian¡¯s lips curled up as he closed the elevator.

    ¡°Mr. Cui, did you just call her Master?¡± Most Western painters had never heard of Yuan Wanxia.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Cui Jian wished that someone would ask him this question. ¡°Aiyo, you don¡¯t know how amazing Yuan Wanxia is. She took advantage of her status as the champion of the World Youth Painter Competition and said that she would definitely win thispetition.¡±

    ¡°Pfft, really?¡±

    The elevator was filled with people from the art world and was not unfamiliar with world youthpetitions.

    Being able to win the championship meant that this person indeed had some ability. However, in the painting world, foundation was very important. A champion of the youthpetition actually had the delusion that she was invincible.

    She was like a child who had just learned how to walk. It was tooughable for her to say that she wanted to win the world championship in a short run.

    ¡°Really, she just called me trash downstairs.¡± Cui Jian pursed his lips. ¡°This person from China is too arrogant.¡±

    ¡°From China??¡± The female painter from a certain anti-China country scoffed when she heard that. ¡°Don¡¯t the people of that country think that they¡¯re going to heaven every day? I wonder who gave them the courage.¡±

    ¡°China has been doing well in the economy for the past few years. They¡¯re rich. Look at the scenic areas outside. The Chinese are buying everywhere and everything like nouveau riche.¡± The person suddenlyughed out loud. ¡°But you don¡¯t know. I heard from the Chinese reporters that half of the people there can¡¯t eat yet. There¡¯s not even a door to the bathroom. China loves to do things like face.¡±

    ¡°I heard about it too. They¡¯re very strict over there. I heard that they¡¯ll be taken away if they don¡¯t hold a red book on the streets. Many tall buildings are filled with tofu g and people don¡¯t live there. They¡¯re specially for us foreigners to see.¡±

    They had originally been asking about Xia Wanyuan, but in the end, it became a huge discussion to exchange their opinions of China. Whether it was people from advanced countries or non-advanced countries, they all expressed their ridicule for this country with a different ideology than theirs.

    Cui Jian listened to everyone¡¯s discussion and was secretly smug.

    Although they were both from Y Continent, Han Country was originally a chess piece used by America to bnce China. Most of the Han Country people were close to the West and looked down on China. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan had offended her rtives, causing their Cui family to be mocked wherever they went during this period of time.

    He would definitely not let Xia Wanyuan have an easy time. Not only would she not be able to get a ranking, but he would also make her unable to raise her head in the world of art and roll back to China in a dejected manner.

    Downstairs, Xia Wanyuan and the rest finally waited for the elevator.

    ¡°Brother Chen, what floor are we on?¡± Xia Yu looked at Chen Yun.

    ¡°The 13th floor,¡± Chen Yun replied. Then, Chen Yun felt that the people around him looked at them strangely.

 Chapter 725 - Forced to Live in the Castle

    <h4>Chapter 725 Forced to Live in the Castle</h4>

    When the elevator stopped on the 13th floor, only Xia Wanyuan and the rest came out.

    ¡°Why do I feel that this floor is so scary?¡± Coming out of the bright elevator, Chen Yun looked at the dim corridor in front of him and felt a little frightened.

    The most practical thing Xia Wanyuan had felt since she came to the modern world was the search engine for her phone. She felt that it was strange, so she stopped and went online to search for the ¡°13th floor of the America Arts Hotel¡±.

    Then, she understood why everyone had such a strange reaction when they heard that they wereing to the 13th floor.

    13 was an extremely inauspicious number in the West, just like China¡¯s 4 (1. In Chinese, 4 had the same pronunciation as ¡®die¡¯). Most people were more avoidant of it.

    Because a murder had happened on the 13th floor of this hotel, ordinary people did not dare to check in. However, the brains of artists were always a little strange. Some people would speciallye here to find inspiration, so the hotel kept this floor. If the guests did not have special requests, they would not be arranged to this floor.

    This was a hotel booked by Qing University. Qing University would definitely not do this, and Chen Yun would not request it. Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°Let¡¯s not live on this floor.¡±

    She was already a little afraid of the dark and had no interest in living with ghost stories.

    ¡°I think so too. This ce is a little scary. What¡¯s wrong with this hotel? Why is the renovation style strange?¡± Chen Yun shuddered and had goosebumps. He dragged his suitcase and brought Xia Wanyuan and the rest downstairs to change rooms.

    At that moment, the hotel lobby was much more lively than before. The employees were lined up in two teams with fresh flowers in their hands. The red carpet was spread out outside the door as if they were waiting for an extremely respected guest.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? How can you arrange the 13th floor for us? It¡¯s so creepy, how do we stay there?¡± Chen Yun threw the room card on the table.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. Because there¡¯s apetition being held, our rooms are already full, so we can only let you stay on the 13th floor. Please understand.¡± The employee looked at the nationality on the registration form and the expression on his face instantly became disdainful.

    ¡°You don¡¯t even have a single room? The presidential suite is fine too. Help us upgrade it.¡± Chen Yun sensed the attitude of the staff and was very dissatisfied. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. It¡¯s already full. Why don¡¯t you take a look elsewhere?¡± The staff smiled.

    Chen Yun was stunned. This art studio was built at the border of the suburbs and cities. There was only one star hotel in the surroundings, and the other hotels were not good.

    ¡°Then...¡± Chen Yun wanted to continue, but the staff adjusted his hat, left the work table, and stood on both sides of the line.

    A limousine stopped outside the door. The door opened and a pair of slender and fair legs appeared in front of everyone.

    The general manager of the hotel stepped forward, bowed, and reached out to wee the person in the car.

    It was an extremely beautiful woman with an Oriental face, but no one would think that she was from Continent Y because there was a Western charm between her brows.

    ¡°Who is this? Why is there so many people?¡± Chen Yun mumbled to Xia Yu.

    Soon, the hotel staff told him the answer.

    ¡°Wee, Miss Li Na.¡± The employees held the flowers and bowed down to wee this beautiful woman.

    Li Na looked like she had received a very strict noble education. She walked without looking sideways and had the noble arrogance of the family.

    ¡°Is there another room? My mother wants toe and watch mypetition at thest minute.¡± Li Na looked straight ahead. The hotel manager beside her followed eagerly.

    ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll have as many as you want. I¡¯ll arrange it for you immediately. It¡¯s beside your room, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Na nodded slightly and walked towards the private elevator surrounded by arge group of people. When she passed by the hotel¡¯s front desk, Li Na suddenly nced at Xia Wanyuan as if she had sensed something. However, her gaze only paused for a moment before retracting.

    ¡°What kind of person is this? There are as many rooms as she wants. She clearly said not just now.¡± Chen Yun was speechless. ¡°Wanyuan, didn¡¯t CEO Jun arrange a hotel for you? Let¡¯s go and see where it is? If it¡¯s close, let¡¯s stay there. We don¡¯t need these people.¡±

    However, Chen Yun had checked before he came. There were really no other hotels in the area. The closest one was an hour¡¯s journey away.

    However, when he saw the ce Jun Shiling had prepared for Xia Wanyuan, he only wanted to look up at the sky and sigh. Heavens, this is the world of the rich!! Sorry to disturb you.

    Although there was no hotel, there could be a castle!!

    Yes, after Chen Yun secretly reported the situation to Jun Shiling, Jun Shiling directly sent people to pick Xia Wanyuan and the rest up to the castle beside the art museum. The castle was closer to the art studio than the hotel. After leaving the castle, it would be the art studio in less than three minutes.

 Chapter 726 - Father and Son Interacted

    <h4>Chapter 726 Father and Son Interacted</h4>

    ¡°Wanyuan, the best thing I¡¯ve ever done is not to abandon you back then.¡± Sitting in the garden where the flowers were flourishing, the sunlight was gentle. A servant was grinding coffee by the side. Chen Yun felt that there was no one else in his life.

    Fortunately, in those few years, no matter what Xia Wanyuan did, he did not abandon her. Thinking about it now, it could be said that after suffering, good things came. This difference wasfortable!

    ¡°If we had known that Brother-inw would book such a close ce, we wouldn¡¯t have gone to that lousy hotel to get bad luck.¡± Xia Yu nestled on the swing and chatted with Chen

    Yun.

    ¡°Little Master, you¡¯re wrong. I think with CEO Jun¡¯s style, this shouldn¡¯t be the ce he booked. I guess this castle is his.¡± ¡°...¡± Xia Yu was speechless.

    Although it was an ancient castle from the previous century, this ce had clearly been renovated. The general framework had not changed, but there were many changes to modern homes inside.

    Xia Wanyuan nestled on the sofa and looked at the participation list while learning their painting skills.

    ¡°Baby.¡± The tablet was ced beside the table. Jun Shiling was in the video.

    ¡°Mm?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked away from the manual. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Are you afraid of sleeping at night? If you¡¯re afraid, sleep in the living room and let Xia Yu sleep on the ground not far from you,¡± Jun Shiling added. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to sleep in a nightgown. I brought you long pants and long sleeves. It¡¯s best if you wear socks and sleep. Put on your bra and whatever. It¡¯s easier to get dressed in the morning. You know that, right?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan was almost amused by Jun Shiling. ¡°Go work. I¡¯m not afraid to sleep by myself.¡±

    Even wearing socks, pants, and long sleeves. I¡¯ll be fully armed. How could Jun Shiling say that?

    ¡°Baby -¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was affectionate.

    ¡°Stop, can you work properly?¡± Every time she heard Jun Shiling call her that, she felt as if she had heard Jun Shiling acting coquettishly.

    ¡°No, Grandpa¡¯s condition is much better. He can even support himself to the ground today. When he stabilizes, I¡¯ll look for you, okay?¡± ¡°Okay, go to work.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. After thinking for a while, she added, ¡°I miss you too.¡± Then, she hung up the phone. Jun Shiling was still thinking of being intimate with Xia Wanyuan when she hung up. However, thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯sst words, Jun Shiling was still very happy.

    However, this happiness stopped when he returned home.

    After Old Master was hospitalized and Xia Wanyuan left the country, Jun Shiling had to take care of the little divine beast at home.

    It was fine a few years ago. Xiao Bao was afraid of Jun Shiling. Even if he stayed with Jun Shiling, he would try to reduce his presence and not disturb Jun Shiling at all.

    However, it was different now. Although Xiao Bao was still afraid of him, he was braver than before and was even closer to him.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Jun Shiling was working in the study when the door was pushed open and a little head crawled in. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao and looked away. ¡°Daddy, I miss Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s clear eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Go and do your homework.¡± ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±

    ¡°Have you practiced the zither and calligraphy?¡±

    ¡°Yup.¡±

    ¡°Then go to sleep.¡± Jun Shiling did not stop what he was doing and did not n to bother with Xiao Bao.

    ¡°I miss Mommy. I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Xiao Bao cried. Seeing that Jun Shiling was not going to care about him, he opened the door and walked towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, hug ~¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s longing for his mother made him very clingy. He hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and did not let go. Jun Shiling picked up the little dumpling, ¡°Stay here and don¡¯t move.¡±

    However, ten secondster.

    ¡°Daddy, what do you think Mommy is doing? Don¡¯t you miss her? Daddy, where do you think Ultraman lives? And Iron Man? Can our car change shape? I want a Doreamon too. Can you buy one for me?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling closed the document. This prodigal son had so many words and really did not follow him and Xia Wanyuan at all. ¡°Daddy?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was ignoring him, Xiao Bao clung to Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and kissed him affectionately. ¡°Daddy, tell me. I already kissed you.¡±

    Every time he begged Auntie An and Uncle Bo for help, this move was always sessful.

    Jun Shiling nced at the soft and fragrant Xiao Bao in his arms and picked him up effortlessly. ¡°Your Mommy should have just woken up at this time. Ultraman is hidden among the ordinary people, and our car can change shape. As long as you¡¯re obedient, I¡¯ll send you a bumblebee during the New Year.¡±

    ¡°Then why did Snow White¡¯s mother treat her so badly? And the dwarfs, why are they so short? I¡¯m so short too. Will I be like them?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was willing to answer his question, the hundred thousand questions in Xiao Bao¡¯s heart appeared.

    Looking at Xiao Bao who asked questions one after another, Jun Shiling was not impatient at all. Instead, he patiently exined to him.

    No matter how smart Xiao Bao was, he was still a child who had juste into contact with this world. He was extremely curious and ignorant about everything in the world.

    Looking at the admiration and light in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling smiled rarely. Fortunately, he did not miss this opportunity to be the guide on Xiao Bao¡¯s path. ¡°Daddy, be good. I love you so much, and I love Mommy too. I also love Great-grandfather and sister in the future.¡± Xiao Bao, who had pestered Jun Shiling for eight hundred questions, finally fell asleep in a daze. Before he fell asleep, he mumbled.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby face. ¡°Daddy loves you very much too.¡±

 Chapter 727 - The Most Beautiful Person

    <h4>Chapter 727 The Most Beautiful Person</h4>

    However, the next morning, when Xiao Bao pressed on and asked for an extra custard bun and a milk candy, he was mercilessly rejected by Jun Shiling. He even gave him a cold re.

    Xiao Bao cried: So love will disappear, right??

    At the same time, on the other side of the ocean¡­

    This art exchangepetition had gradually begun.

    Cui Jian was an abnormally active person. In just a day, everyone had already unintentionally learned that in this artpetition, a youngster who had just obtained the Youth Painter Competition from China had said that she wanted to win the championship this time. She was extremely arrogant and rude.

    The reception hall of the art museum was almost filled with famous painters from all over the world. Everyone chatted as they admired the exquisite decorations designed by the masters in the hall.

    ¡°Hey, have you heard? Which Chinese female painter is that? Show me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen her before. I heard she¡¯s quite good-looking. I heard from the people in Cherry Blossoms that she seems to be a celebrity in China.¡±

    ¡°Celebrity? Painter? Pfft, if they had said that she was a celebrity earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have been interested at all. It¡¯s quite funny to see such a fake-elegant and arrogant person. Among the younger generation, Miss Li Na of the Blue family is the most outstanding. She¡¯s the real socialite.¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding? The Blue family is the overlord of Continent M¡¯s industry. I heard that Miss Li Na is very likely to be the next sessor.¡±

    As everyone was discussing, there was a suddenmotion at the door. Li Na, who was wearing a luxurious gown, walked in under everyone¡¯s stares.

    Many people wanted to climb up and build a rtionship with her, but after weighing their background, they still retreated quietly. Li Na was personally brought to the front seat by the person in charge of the art studio and sat down.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Li Na. It¡¯s good to see you.¡± Just as Li Na sat down, Prince Olly greeted her. ¡°Hello.¡± Li Na nodded in greeting.

    ¡°Miss Li Na is really the most beautiful person I¡¯ve ever seen in Continent Y.¡± The prince praised sincerely.

    ¡°No, Prince, you¡¯re wrong. I¡¯m not from Y Continent. I¡¯m from America.¡± Li Na smiled appropriately and corrected the prince¡¯s mistake.

    She had been born into America and had received education in America. China had nothing to do with her.

    ¡°Then you¡¯re more beautiful than all the women in Continent Y. Out of all those I¡¯ve sene before-.¡± Before the prince could finish speaking, the noisy hall behind him suddenly quieted down.

    The prince turned around and was speechless.

    Chen Yun had been agitated at the hotel yesterday. When he went out today, he resolutely got the servants to dress Xia Wanyuan up.

    She was wearing a light-colored long dress with a slender waist. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s already stunning facial features were disyed to the extreme under the high skills of the makeup artist.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan had the gentleness and restraint that only Eastern women had. She was like an orchid in the rain, deste and refreshing. The entire hall seemed to be stained with the rain dew on her, turning gentle.

    The prince suddenly could not say ¡®you¡¯re the most beautiful person I¡¯ve ever seen¡¯.

    ¡°Which family¡¯s daughter is this? She¡¯s so beautiful?¡±

    ¡°This is that Xia Wanyuan. The one from China. She¡¯s indeed quite beautiful. Why is such a beautiful woman¡¯s personality so arrogant?¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan sat down, everyone seemed to have recovered from their shock and discussed among themselves.

    ¡°Wee to the grand exchange.¡± At the front of the hall, a light screen appeared and a huge stage appeared in front of everyone. The blonde host had a passionate smile.

    ¡°The main purpose of this exchange is to be chosen by the evaluationmittee for everyone¡¯s works. In the end, the evaluationmittee will evaluate ten works and send them to Master Danny for his final evaluation.¡±

    Initially, apetition like painting and calligraphy would be difficult to convince the public because the styles of the judges were different and their preferences were different.

    However, Danny was the most recognized and respected painter in the past hundred years. Everyone would be convinced if he was the judge.

    As a powerhouse in the art world, Danny rarely appeared in front of the world. In thispetition, even if they could not win the championship, as long as they could see Master Danny once, everyone felt that they would not have made a trip for nothing.

 Chapter 728 - Arrangement

    <h4>Chapter 728 Arrangement</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan ignored the countless gazes on her and picked up the booklet in front of her to take a look.

    Since it was an exchange with apetition nature, the art studio had specially prepared a painting venue for all the contestants, and the time for painting was specified. As for the topic, it came from Master Danny. Before entering the field, no one knew.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that thispetition was quite boring

    In her previous life, calligraphy and painting were all used to improve one¡¯s mood. Some inspirations would take a few days or years topletely appear, but in thispetition, in just a few hours, one might not be able to choose a piece with especially spiritual essence.

    ¡°I heard that Miss Xia is determined to win the championship? Why are you so confident?¡± A painter sitting beside her poked his head over.

    Xia Wanyuan put away the booklet and nced at the painter beside her. ¡°Ask whoever you hear it from.¡± Then Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked towards the back garden of the art museum ording to the guidance on the book.

    <b>ere</b>

    In the huge garden, tables, chairs, drawing boards, and countless painting tools were already ced. There was a meter between each person. Coincidentally, Cui Jian was sitting on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s left. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, Cui Jian smiled disdainfully. ¡°What an honor. Miss Xia, you¡¯re actually sitting beside me. Next to the champion. I¡¯m really a little nervous.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at him and gently tapped her index finger on the table. She felt her hand itch a little.

    This person was really noisy. If not for the special location, Xia Wanyuan really wanted to beat him up.

    When she checked the tools on the table, she realized that they were basically used for Western painting. There were no brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, or colors that she needed.

    She waved at the staff. ¡°There¡¯s no painting tools I need.¡±

    ¡°What do you need?¡±

    In the international art world, oil paintings and watercolor paintings were mainly the focus, and there were rarely signs of Chinese ink paintings. When the staff of the art museum was preparing, they did not specially buy this type.

    ¡°Brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and color,¡± Xia Wanyuan exined in English.

    The painters beside her could not help butugh. ¡°Pfft, what old things. Why are you painting using these? They¡¯re so old-fashioned.¡±

    ¡°Aiyah, China has been in seclusion for so many years. It¡¯s normal that they don¡¯t know our international painting tools.¡± Cui Jian pretended to help Xia Wanyuan out of the situation, but his eyes were filled with gloating excitement.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Thepetition is about to start. We¡¯re not allowed to bring anything else in anymore.¡± The staff actually didn¡¯t quite understand what Xia Wanyuan was talking about.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression did not change much. The people beside her had already begun to gloat.

    ¡°Miss Xia, after thepetition, I can teach you how to draw.¡± Someone could not stand it and wanted tofort Xia Wanyuan. ¡°After all, you can only admire that painting in your country. The judges are all Westerners. You still have to learn other painting skills.¡±

    ¡°Can you learn it just like that? In my opinion, the Chinese are not born to eat art. Do they know art? Just a pile of dark paintings, yet they dare to say that they¡¯re beautiful. I can paint eight hundred of those paintings with my eyes closed.¡± Not far away, an extremely anti-China female painter spared no effort in mocking Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Really?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the female painter. ¡°After thispetition, I want topete with thisdy and see how you paint eight hundred paintings with your eyes closed.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, okay, little girl. See you at the doorter.¡± The female painter looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully. She, who was already extremely anti-China, had now directly ced China on the super cklist.

 Chapter 729 - Princess Oil Painting

    <h4>Chapter 729 Princess Oil Painting</h4>

    With that, Xia Wanyuan sat on a chair and ignored the people around her.

    At that moment, the theme sent by Master Danny appeared on the big screen in the garden.

    Just one word.

    ¡°Light.¡±

    Looking at this theme, everyone present thought that the master was indeed a master. Even the first topic was so difficult. Xia Wanyuan looked at this word and finally felt that thispetition was interesting.

    Painting was not a simple application of the paint, but theyers and rich changes in color were important.

    Whether a painter had excellent skills depended on whether he could grasp the spatial changes of the characters in the scenery and the colors of the entire painting in the changing light. The others were clearly stumped by this question. Painting was not difficult. The difficult thing was to draw a painting that could attract the attention of the judges in three hours.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and began to mix the paint.

    Everyone was still thinking when they saw that Xia Wanyuan had already begun. They were a little surprised, but when they saw her unfamiliar mixing method, they scoffed in their hearts.

    Just now, seeing how high-profile Xia Wanyuan was, and even asked to fight with someone, they had thought that she did have some skills. Now, it seemed that it was nothing much.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan begin to prepare to draw an oil painting, Cui Jian was about to go crazy withughter. Other people did not know Xia Wanyuan¡¯s background, but he knew that Xia Wanyuan had never drawn an oil painting before. She must be extremely lousy. This time, she probably could not even pass the preliminaries.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t care what others were thinking. After mixing the paint, she picked up the brush and began.

    Xia Wanyuan had never received orthodox Western oil painting training, but painting was mostly interlinked at the core.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even hold the brush properly. She didn¡¯t even use the traditional method to draw the colors.

    In fact, to save time, Xia Wanyuan held a brush with her ten fingers and quickly smeared it on the drawing board. The judges in the stands patrolled the situation of the people in the venue. In a series of quiet and slow actions, Xia Wanyuan, whose ten fingers flew, appeared especially eye-catching. ¡°Oh, my god, is that girl ying tricks??¡± A judge could not help but exim. ¡°She¡¯s so young. Perhaps she wants to find another way to attract our attention.¡±

    However, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, she seemed to be very focused. The judges did not realize that ever since they noticed Xia Wanyuan, their attention had beenpletely focused on her.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaudy actions and focused expression, the judges were very curious what kind of painting she had drawn.

    Thepetition time was three hours. An hour and a halfter, Xia Wanyuan pressed thepletion button. The staff came and carefully ced her works in a specialized box.

    Miss, you can go out and rest first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    The others were so slow that they had just finished drafting the first draft. Seeing that someone hadpleted it so quickly, they hurriedly looked up. Which god could hand over the work so quickly?

    When they saw that it was Xia Wanyuan, everyone clearly rxed.

    It¡¯s her? Then it¡¯s fine.

    It was probably not that she had finished painting, but that she could not continue painting The judges were already extremely curious. At that moment, the staff took the box containing the painting and was about to put it in a specialized storage room. A judge from Ennd could not help but stop the staff. He said that he wanted to check if the work waspleted, so the staff opened the box.

    With just a nce, the judge¡¯s eyes widened and he eximed, ¡°Oh my god!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The other judges turned to look and saw their colleague looking very shocked.

    The Ennd judge wanted to take another look, but the staff had already taken the box away. ¡°I dare to guarantee that the painting just now will definitely be the best in this round.¡±

    <b>OW</b>

    ¡°No way?¡± The other judges looked at their colleagues suspiciously. Ignoring the fact that the Chinesedy¡¯s painting method was very strange, just her age was not enough to make people believe it. There were many people with extremely high qualifications present today and many outstanding descendants of famous families. How could shepare to those people?

 Chapter 730 - Giving the Queen a pillow

    <h4>Chapter 730 Giving the Queen a pillow</h4>

    The colleagues thought that the judge from Ennd did not see it clearly and did not believe it. Meanwhile, the judge from Ennd only had one thought.

    How could that light be drawn so beautifully!!

    Xia Wanyuan left the garden and didn¡¯t return to the castle directly. She sat in the hall and waited for the female painter toe out.

    At that moment, there was no one in the hall. Xia Wanyuan sat for a while and suddenly felt that she missed Jun Shiling a little.

    She originally wanted to call him, but after calcting the time, she realized that it was four in the morning in China. Jun Shiling was sleeping. Xia Wanyuan, who had already clicked on Jun Shiling¡¯s chat box, moved it away.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was about to close the chat box, Jun Shiling sent her a video invitation.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. In the video, Jun Shiling was lying under the nket, his eyes filled with sleepiness. It was obvious that he had just woken up.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, did you install a surveince camera on me? How did you know that I wanted to call you?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that it could not be so coincidental. It was four in the morning in China.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you start thepetition at half-past two? I guessed that you would be out in an hour and a half, so I set the rm.¡± When Xia Wanyuan drew, Jun Shiling often apanied her. Jun Shiling knew her painting time quite well.

    Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had a hoarse voice and tired eyes. However, Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was especially good-looking at that moment. ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan asked. ¡°How¡¯s Grandpa¡¯s health?¡±.

    ¡°He¡¯s much better. He¡¯s already stable. He can sit and eat now.¡± Jun Shiling yawned and subconsciously answered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan asked again, ¡°Have you had many meetings in the past few days?¡±

    ¡°Yes, today...¡± Jun Shiling was halfway through his sentence when the corners of his lips curled up. He stared straight at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Did you miss me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not hide it. Jun Shiling had specially set an rm for her to wait for her to finish thepetition, which had indeed aroused her longing for Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I¡¯ll arrange it tomorrow and I¡¯ll go and watch yourpetition, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although in her previous life, she would definitely be scolded by her mother for being insensible, now that she had Jun Shiling¡¯s favoritism, Xia Wanyuan was fearless.

    ¡°Let me show you Jun Yin,¡± Jun Shiling said as he lowered the phone slightly and removed the nket.

    Xiao Bao was lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and sleeping soundly. His long eyshes were folded on his fair face like two small fans. He even smacked his lips when he dreamed of something delicious.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of waking him up?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s cute sleeping face with a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Wake him up?¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly. ¡°There was such a huge thunderst night, but he didn¡¯t even turn around. It¡¯s not easy to wake him up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that Xiao Bao was cute.

    ¡°What are you looking at? I don¡¯t look good in the erged version?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan kept looking at Xiao Bao, Jun Shiling was unhappy. He covered the nket and blocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s vision.

    ¡°... That¡¯s your son.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m your husband,¡± Jun Shiling said righteously.

    SO

    ¡°... I¡¯m hanging up. Sleep a little more. I have something onter. I¡¯ll call you tonight.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that she could not win against Jun Shiling

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and patted his shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ll send a pillow to my queen tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°... Goodbye.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. After chatting with Jun Shiling, thepetition in the garden was about to end. Everyone walked out one after another.

    ¡°Wait, did you forget what you said about thepetition just now?¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped the anti-Chinese artist when she saw her walk out the door.

 Chapter 731 - Face Slapping Competition

    <h4>Chapter 731 Face pping Competition</h4>

    No matter where, beautiful people¡¯s every move could attract everyone¡¯s attention.

    Just like now, after Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, everyone¡¯s gazes gathered on Xia Wanyuan and the female painter she was looking at. ¡°Pfft, Miss Xia, I originally wanted to give you face, but you didn¡¯t give up.¡± Grey looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully. In fact, she did not take her conversation with Xia Wanyuan seriously at all. If not for Xia Wanyuan stopping her, she would have already left. Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Do you remember what you just said? Do you dare to repeat it?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m dying ofughter. Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? Is that even art? I can draw eight hundred of that ck paintings with my eyes closed.¡± Grey scoffed in an extremely arrogant manner.

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s give it a try. You draw an oil painting, and I¡¯ll draw the same one with you. I¡¯ll draw a Chinese ink painting, and you have to draw the same one.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood up. Even though Xia Wanyuan was a little shorter due to the difference in physique in the East and West, her aura made Grey feel inexplicably suppressed. ¡°Okay, no problem.¡± Grey was confident. It was not that she did not know anything about Chinese paintings. She had practiced it in art sses, but because she was more anti-China, she rejected such Chinese painting techniques after graduation.

    As for oil paintings, Grey felt that Xia Wanyuan simply did not know the immensity of the world. Ever since she was young, she had be famous with an oil painting. Until now, she had already upied a ce in the world of oil paintings.

    Grey felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s provocation was not challenging at all. Even if she could not imitate China¡¯s paintings, she would not lose. After all, she was confident that Xia Wanyuan could not keep up with her painting standards.

    Most of the people present chose to stay and watch themotion. Cui Jian thought for a while. The chances of Xia Wanyuan winning were one hundred percent zero. How could I let such a good opportunity slip by? ¡°Since both of you want to prove yourselves, what¡¯s the point of us watching here alone? Why don¡¯t we do a live broadcast? Let everyone choose and judge your drawings.¡± Cui Jian smiled and gave Grey a look. ¡°I have no problem.¡± Grey crossed her arms and looked down at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What about you, Miss Xia?¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Great!¡±

    When the art museum learned of this, they specially prepared the venue for thepetition for the two of them and even used the official ount to open the live-stream channel.

    The American Arts Hall was ranked in the top ten in the world and had many fans. Suddenly, it opened a live-stream channel, causing many people to join.

    After entering, they realized that it was not the art exhibition they had imagined. Just as they were feeling baffled, the tform finally attached a caption.

    ¡°The peak fight between the Chinese and Canada painters!¡± This extremely gimmicky title attracted many people again.

    The camera changed. Two women stood at the drawing table in the hall.

    One was Madam Grey from Canada who would be more familiar as long as one had seen the art exhibition.

    As for the other person, everyone immediately suspected if this person was really a painter. After all, she was too young and exquisite. However, her name card introduction was on the video, indicating that this person was indeed a Chinese painter.

    ¡°Okay, now, please draw a painting of your own style, one and a half hours. In the next round, please exchange your paintings.¡±

    Just as the host finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan began to draw.

    The moment she started drawing, everyone felt that something was wrong.

    Xia Wanyuan drew especially quickly. If not for Grey¡¯s normal speed, everyone might have suspected that someone had been pressed the fast forward button.

    She held a brush in each hand and constantly dipped it in the paint before scattering it on the paper.

    Unlike Grey¡¯s drawing board, Xia Wanyuan drew on a long scroll directly. She was worried that it would affect the painter¡¯s work. The camera did not approach Xia Wanyuan, but they could see that from the end of the painting, Xia Wanyuan was constantly moving left.

    <h4>Chapter 732 Painting Completed Shocking the Crowd</h4>

    The others present watched from afar.

    In their eyes, Xia Wanyuan and Grey were twopletely different styles. One was meticulously carved, and the other was quickly smeared.

    ¡°Could it be that Xia Wanyuan wants to win with quantity? Does she think that Madam Grey can¡¯t keep up with her just because she drew a lot?¡±

    ¡°How despicable. With her speed, I¡¯m impressed that she could draw a shape. Thispetition is too perfunctory.¡±

    The painters were whispering. More and more people entered the live-stream channel. After manyizens in the country heard of this matter, they climbed over the wall and prepared to support Xia Wanyuan.

    [ The Chinese are indeed despicable. How can this be called painting? I can even do it. ]

    When the domesticizens saw the despicable message on the screen, they could not sit still anymore. [ As expected, the country set up a wall to protect our intelligence. You guys didn¡¯t even see the painting and are arguing here. Why are you so amazing?)

    [ Is it hard for China to climb over the wall? Get back into your wall and don¡¯t pollute our Inte. ]

    Xia Wanyuan and Grey were still painting. In thements on the video,izens from many countries had already started arguing again.

    There were five minutes left before the scheduled time. Grey had already finished painting

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s take a look at Madam Grey¡¯s painting. Wow!!! A passionate sunflower that is filled with enthusiasm and vigor. Toplete such a beautiful piece in such a short time, it¡¯s amazing!!¡±

    The host brought the camera closer to Grey¡¯s painting. As he exined, a sunflower that imitated the Van Gogh style appeared on the screen. The colors were bright and beautiful. Those who knew painting knew that Grey had deep skills.

    <b>SCIE</b>

    The camera switched to Xia Wanyuan. She was still quickly painting. Sometimes, one could even see the afterimage of rapid movements. [ What¡¯s the use of painting so quickly? She hasn¡¯t finished painting yet. Trash. ]

    [ Look at Madam Grey. She drew quickly and well. I really don¡¯t know who gave you Chinese face. How dare you provoke her? Get back into your wall. ]

    Originally, when they heard the news, manyizens had climbed over the wall. However, at that moment, facing Grace¡¯s painting in the video, everyone quietly stopped arguing with thements. After all, her painting was indeed good.

    Theizens looked at the insults and mockery on thements and felt suffocated. Seeing Xia Wanyuan still draw quickly, everyone silently prayed that Xia Wanyuan could bring them a miracle.

    They prayed that Xia Wanyuan would work hard and p these people¡¯s faces.

    ¡°Is it time? Can you not waste time? Everyone is going to eat.¡± Seeing that time was passing, Grey looked at Xia Wanyuan arrogantly. ¡°There are still ten seconds, nine, one! Time is

    up!!¡±

    Just as the host finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brushnded in the tube. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°It¡¯s done¡± raised all theizens¡¯ hearts.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s take a look at Miss Xia¡¯s painting.¡± The host brought the camera over without interest.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped him. ¡°The painting is a little long. Someonee and raise it with me for everyone to see. You can do it.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she pointed at a kind-looking staff member in the crowd.

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The staff hurriedly squeezed in. Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request, he grabbed one end of the painting and stood on both sides with her, then raised the painting.

    Instantly,

    Everyone was silent.

    Thements stopped.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was two meters long!! The entire painting was at least ten timesrger than Grace¡¯s sunflower. It waspletely different from what everyone had imagined.

    This was an extremely magnificent painting, and the specific scenery waspletely exposed.

    The continuous mountains and rivers gave off a magnificent feeling. From the south to the north, the mountains gradually dyed red. It was formed by thousands of maple leaves.

    Looking closer, the fisherman in the distance was putting away the. Smoke curled up from the mountains, and one could faintly see the woodcutter passing through the forest with a hoe. Not far away, a towering temple was revealed in the maple leaves.

    In the open air, the small forest was fully disyed.

    <h4>Chapter 733 The Princess ps Face Forcefully</h4>

    Even though most of the painters present didn¡¯t know much about Chinese painting, it didn¡¯t stop them from seeing that Xia Wanyuan was extremely skilled at painting.

    The Western painting method had always been particr about the folding of colors, while Chinese painting had always been ck and white in the eyes of the Westerners.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting had clearly overturned their opinions. Theyers of maple leaves that were soaked in the forest disyed a rich color under the morning sun. The green mountains and red leaves were not gaudy at all.

    [ 6666, Xia Wanyuan is amazing!! ] When the domesticizens saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, they immediately felt relieved and crazily scrolled through the screen.

    [ Everyone has their own strengths. Why are you so smug? ] [ Let me tell you, it¡¯s not difficult for Chinese to learn oil painting, but for Westerners to learn the essence of Chinese painting, that¡¯s very difficult. Five thousand years of foundation is not something you can learn as you wish. ]

    In the hall, seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, the originally smug Grey¡¯s expression suddenly darkened.

    It was not that she did not know anything about painting. It was true that she could not draw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting. Not only was it sorge in painting, but even Xia Wanyuan, whoseyers of maple color had changed, she would have to take a long time to mix it.

    ]¡±No wonder you¡¯re so arrogant. So you do have some skills.¡± Grey smiled. ¡°However, you only specialize in Chinese paintings. You can¡¯t use your painting methods for international paintings. I wonder how Miss Xia¡¯s oil painting standards are?¡±

    Although Grey felt that it was a little ugly to end in a draw, at least she specialized in oil paintings. It was not embarrassing if she could not draw Chinese paintings.

    ¡°It¡¯s time for the next match.¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored Grey¡¯s provocation and turned to look at the host.

    <b>§Ö §Ñ§ã</b>

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s proceed to the nextpetition. Please copy one ording to the other party¡¯s painting.¡± As the host spoke, he guided the staff to ce the painting in front of the two of them.

    Grey picked up the brush and moved the camera over. Her expression was still very calm, but she was very flustered in her heart. This ink painting could be drawn so easily?? Hiss, Grey cursed in her heart. The ink blots looked quite simple. Why is it so difficult to draw when I have it?

    As for Xia Wanyuan, although her actions were much slower than before, they were also very fast. Her expression was serious and focused. Everyone present suspected that Xia Wanyuan was really confident.

    On China¡¯s Weibo, there were alreadyizens who had posted the video of Xia Wanyuan and the famous anti-Chinese painterpetition online.

    The topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯spetition¡± quickly became trending. Countlessizens who did not know how to climb the wall also learned of this.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is amazing! ]

    [ Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, what kind of idol did I like!! My idol is winning glory for the country, and I¡¯m shaking my leg at home as her fan. ] [ Although I don¡¯t have any feelings for Xia Wanyuan, I only want to say one thing to Xia Wanyuan. Well done. Use your strength to p her face. )

    Half the time had passed in the art hall, but Grey had been on the right of the painting and had not moved. The expression on her face became more and more anxious as time passed.

    ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said. The host was shocked. It was done? How long has it been?

    He hurriedly brought the camera to check on Xia Wanyuan. When he saw it, he could not help but exim, ¡°Wow!!¡±

    The camera zoomed in on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting. The enthusiastic sunflower stretched its petals under the sunlight. Be it theposition or the color, they looked no different from Grey¡¯s painting.

    Thements had already been flooded with crazy ¡°666¡±. The domestic fans felt that Xia Wanyuan was too hardworking. The depression they had felt after being scolded for so long had disappeared.

    Seeing the stunned reactions of the other painters, Grey knew that Xia Wanyuan had probably copied it sessfully. She looked at the dark ball of paper in front of her and was annoyed. She threw away the brush.

    ¡°I¡¯m not painting anymore.¡±

    The host hurriedly came over. In the camera, Grey¡¯s painting could not even be called a painting. The ink blots everywhere formed a sharp contrast with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s magnificent ¡°Maple Forest¡¯s Scene¡±.

    ¡°I do know very little about Chinese arts, but Xia Wanyuan might not win.¡±

 Chapter 734 - The Princessâ€™s Killing Strike

    <h4>Chapter 734 The Princess¡¯s Killing Strike</h4>

    When he heard this, before anyone could panic, Cui Jian, who had a regretful expression, immediately panicked. ¡°Miss Grey, what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Copying is about being almost the same, and I have some painting habits that will make my painting unique. I don¡¯t think Xia Wanyuan can copy my little habits. Since she didn¡¯t do it, why should she be considered sessful?¡±

    These words were a little forced, but everyone present was not stupid. No one stood up to retort and cause trouble for themselves.

    ¡°That¡¯s right!!¡± Cui Jian pretended to be enlightened. ¡°I think Madam Grey is right. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting is at most the same color outline. How can that be considered sessful?¡±

    [F*ck, shameless! ] [ Where did this old bald monke from?? I¡¯m so angry. Who bullies people like this? ] The domestic fans in thements were originally preparing to celebrate Xia Wanyuan¡¯s victory, but after such a scene, everyone was stunned. A group of artists could actually be so brazen and shameless. They had really learned something.

    The painters who were familiar with Grey and Cui Jian echoed. The staff of the art hall were Westerners to begin with, so they naturally would not lean towards Xia Wanyuan, who was from China. ¡°In that case, thepetition will be a draw¡­¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan watched these sanctimonious people finish their performance coldly before slowly saying.

    ¡°Miss Xia, do you have any questions?¡± The host felt a little guilty. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was really no different from Grey¡¯s.

    ¡°Take the camera and zoom in. If you find out what¡¯s different, I¡¯ll admit defeat today,¡± Xia Wanyuan nced around and said.

    ¡°Pfft, Xia Wanyuan, stop struggling. It¡¯s already sote. Everyone has already wasted more than two hours here. What right do you have to make us y with you here?¡± Cui Jian felt that something was wrong and subconsciously didn¡¯t want the camera to verify it.

    1

    .

    ¡°Come here.¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even look at him and called for the photographer.

    For some reason, the photographer felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze made one want to submit. He subconsciously moved the camera over.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the side and pressed the screen connection.

    Two high-definition paintings immediately appeared on the screen in the hall.

    Xia Wanyuan magnified it a few times and drew several different angles. Everyone present was silent.

    Even with their professional eyes, they could not tell who had drawn the two paintings.

    In these two paintings, even the traces left by the tilt of the brush were identical.

    [ Come,e,e. Those who just said that our Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t draw well. Come out and take a few steps. ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really too amazing!! Mommy, I love her so much! ]

    In thements, people from the other countries stopped talking, leaving only the domesticizens¡¯ revelry.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and looked at Grey. ¡°Have you found the difference?¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Grey looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. She had never expected Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting skills to really reach this level. Even she could not tell which one was hers.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Feeling the strange gazes from all directions, Grey could not stand it anymore. She had actually lost to a little girl, and in front of so many people. This was the most embarrassing thing she had ever done in her decades of life. Grey looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily and was about to turn and leave.

    ¡°Wait, remember what you said? You said that you could draw eight hundred Chinese paintings with your eyes closed. Now tell me, can you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had very serious feelings for the country. After all, in her previous life, she was the ruler of the country. She could not stand others insulting the country.

    ¡°You¡¯re ruthless. Wait and see.¡± Grey nced fiercely at Xia Wanyuan and did not answer her question. She flicked her sleeves and left with a livid expression.

    Everyone present understood that after thispetition, Grey¡¯s status in the art world would probably plummet. Now, the way they looked at Xia Wanyuan was somewhat strange. This youngdy was really quite ruthless.

    The hall was silent. Xia Wanyuan turned around and said ¡°Thank you¡± to the photographer, then prepared to leave the hall.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Miss Xia to have some skills. Your copying skills are not bad.¡± Cui Jian secretly thought that this Grey¡¯s reputation was fake and useless. She could not even resolve Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Move, I¡¯m going back.¡± It was already past time to eat, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s biological clock had already begun to remind her. Xia Wanyuan rushed back to eat.

    ¡°Go back? Go back where?¡± Cui Jian smiled. ¡°Miss Xia, where do you live? We¡¯re considered peers. Let me send you, Miss Xia.¡±

 Chapter 735 - Ancient Castle

    <h4>Chapter 735 Ancient Castle</h4>

    ¡°Move.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Cui Jian coldly.

    Cui Jian originally wanted to continue pestering her, but being shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, he suddenly felt guilty and subconsciously moved away. Xia Wanyuan walked straight out.

    ¡°Hey, why did Miss Xia leave so quickly? I wanted to ask how she drew so quickly and so well. Young people nowadays are really amazing.¡± Other painters surrounded him.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know, but I heard that Xia Wanyuan despised the art hotel and refunded her room. I heard that she found a better house to stay in.¡± Cui Jian reacted from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s threat and subconsciously wanted to give her a delicate hat.

    ¡°What? This art hotel is the best in the area. Listen to her bragging. I saw it when I went back to registerst time. The hotel arranged for them to be on the 13th floor. They couldn¡¯t stand it and moved away. They probably stayed in some small hotel around here.¡±

    Although no one said anything, they had a subtle sense of superiority. As expected, Chinese people should stay in low-ss hotels.

    The art museum was not far from the hotel. Everyone chose to walk back. After leaving the door, they saw a magnificent castle beside them.

    ¡°This is a castle left behind by the royal family of thest century. It¡¯s so beautiful.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s indeed beautiful. I wanted to take a lookst time but was stopped. I heard that this ce has been privately bought.¡±

    ¡°Really? What kind of person must be able to buy this ce?¡± Cui Jian added, his eyes glued to the exquisite renovation of the castle.

    Everyone passed by the castle enviously. In the living room not far from them, Xia Wanyuan was sitting opposite Xia Yu.

    ¡°Sister, why are you back sote? Did someone make things difficult for you?¡± Xia Yu did not have the habit of watching live broadcasts and did not know about Xia Wanyuan¡¯spetition in the afternoon.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s all settled.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of the soup and finally felt much better.

    The afternoon weather was already a little gloomy. After Xia Wanyuan finished her meal, the rain that had been brewing for the entire day finally fell.

    ¡°Sister, you won¡¯t be scared at night, right? I¡¯ll sleep in the living room. Call me if you need anything.¡± Xia Yu made a nket and slept on the sofa.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and entered the bedroom.

    Although the interior was decorated in a modern style, it was still an ancient castle. From the inside out, it exuded an ancient historical aura. Lightning shed and thunder rumbled outside the window, and Xia Wanyuan was a little sleepless.

    She called Jun Shiling, but his phone was switched off.

    Xia Wanyuan calcted that it should be in the morning in China. Jun Shiling was probably in a meeting, so she stopped thinking and picked up the book beside her.

    While Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side was peaceful, in a certain city in Continent M, a building was brightly lit and anxious.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t contacted her yet??¡±.

    ¡°No, that contestant didn¡¯t fill in the relevant information.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The person in charge of the Go Competition paced around anxiously. ¡°Everyone is ready. Only this piece of news has gone missing. Sigh, really. Alright, send him another message. Tell him the time and ce of thepetition and ask him to arrive before the finals.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± After hearing the leader¡¯s words, the staff sent another message to the ount ¡°Xia¡±, but it was still like a stone sinking into the sea.

    In the castle, Xia Wanyuan had already read nearly half of the book in her hand. Not only did the rain outside the window not stop, but it was also getting heavier.

    The person guarding the door was sleepy under the drizzle. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a car was slowly stopping.

 Chapter 736 - Someone Came on the Rainy Night

    <h4>Chapter 736 Someone Came on the Rainy Night</h4>

    It was raining heavily. The guard looked at the time and became more alert, thinking that someone camete at night.

    At that moment, someone walked out of the car. The guard was shocked awake when he saw that handsome face. He hurriedly pressed the button to open the door and walked into the castle with an umbre.

    In the living room, Xia Yu had long opened his eyes. When he saw who had entered, he finally rxed and stood up from the sofa to pick up the nket. ¡°Brother-inw, you¡¯re here. I¡¯ll go back to my room.¡±

    ¡°Mm, which room is your sister in?¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    ]¡±Over there.¡± Xia Yu pointed in a direction and yawned as he walked towards his room.

    Even though the rain was pouring outside, the house was as warm as spring. Xia Wanyuan read for a while and looked at the rain curtain outside the window in a daze.

    Jun Shiling had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was already sound asleep. Unexpectedly, he gently pushed open the door and met a pair of cold eyes. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. She lifted the nket and ran towards him.

    ¡°Wait, there¡¯s rain on me.¡± Jun Shiling was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be cold.

    However, Xia Wanyuan ignored him and hugged Jun Shiling. She rubbed her head against his neck and let the rain on him wet her clothes.

    A helpless smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He reached out and hugged her. ¡°Let¡¯s go and change.¡±

    After the two of them changed into clean pajamas, Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the bed without worry. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were sparkling, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He covered her eyes with his hand. ¡°Sleep quickly. Don¡¯t look at me like that.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand down, her eyes filled with confusion and protest. ¡°If you look at me like that again, you don¡¯t have to sleep today.¡± Jun Shiling leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan, letting her feel how hard he had endured.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red, but she did not retreat. Instead, she looked up. ¡°I missed you.¡±

    Jun Shiling sighed in his heart and pressed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head into his arms, preventing her from looking at him with those bright eyes. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to think. Go to sleep.¡±

    It was already sote. If he continued to cause trouble, Xia Wanyuan would not have to go to thepetition tomorrow. Although he wanted to mess around with Xia Wanyuan, he could not ignore her matters.

    ¡°Ok,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied, making Jun Shilingugh from anger. She even felt wronged.

    ¡°Goodnight, baby.¡± Jun Shiling nted a loving kiss by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Only then did Xia Wanyuan find a suitable position in his arms and sleep soundly.

    The next morning, Jun Shiling woke up early and made a bowl of noodles for Xia Wanyuan because he was worried that the Western food made by the chef here would not suit her taste.

    Xia Yu looked at the green inteced in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl and the green pepper shredded pork noodles with a poached egg. Then, he looked at the ham sandwich in his hand and immediately felt that the rice was not fragrant.

    ¡°Are you stillpeting in the art museum today?¡± Jun Shiling did not know Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exactpetition time.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s only in the afternoon.¡± Xia Wanyuan bit down on a sunny side up egg.

    ¡°In the afternoon?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, meaning to ask, Why didn¡¯t you say it was in the afternoonst night?

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°That¡¯s right. In the afternoon.¡± Otherwise, why would I hint at him yesterday? However, he could only me himself for not seizing the opportunity.

    Xia Yu looked at the strange atmosphere between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. ¡°Sister, Brother-inw, what¡¯s with the afternoon?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head and looked at Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes. It was just that someone had missed a good opportunity to mess around. After dinner, Xia Wanyuan studied painting by famous artists in the living room while Jun Shiling went out. He hade to Continent M mainly for Xia Wanyuan, but since he was here, he wanted to take a look at thepany in Continent M too.

    The street outside the art museum had a famous scenery. Many people strolled here to look at the scenery.

    Seeing the castle door open, everyone¡¯s attention was attracted. They wanted to see what kind of person could afford to live in this ancient castle.

    Then, they saw an extremely young and handsome Asian man walk out.

    ¡°The people of Continent Y are really rich. They even bought a house in Continent M. This must be the second-generation heir of some family.¡± The foreign painter sat on the long stool and watched enviously as the person walked out of the castle and got into the luxury car outside.

    ¡°I know this person. He¡¯s not an ordinary rich second-generation heir.¡± As a person from Y Continent, Cui Jian was not unfamiliar with the richest man in China. ¡°This person is the richest man in China. He¡¯s not simple. His wealth in the world seems to be tenth, but that¡¯s only counting the assets of the Jun Corporation. In fact, it¡¯s not necessarily the

    case.¡±

    ¡°That amazing?¡± The other foreign painters were shocked. He was the richest man at such a young age. This reminded them of Xia Wanyuan, who was also young but had forced back an established painter with apetition.

    Are young people nowadays so ruthless?

 Chapter 737 - Various Invitations

    <h4>Chapter 737 Various Invitations</h4>

    The news that the richest man in China lived in the ancient castle quickly spread. Humans were so contradictory. On the one hand, everyone had a sense of superiority to China and the Chinese, but they wanted to befriend and curry favor with the real richest man in China.

    Most artists had prominent family backgrounds that supported their high learning fees. Everyone had grown up in interests and benefits since they were young, so they naturally knew that being able to build a rtionship with Jun Shiling was beneficial to the family¡¯s business.

    ¡°Father, where I participated in thepetition, Jun Shiling, the richest man in China, lives beside me. Do you need me to visit him?¡± Even though she was alone in the room, Li Na sat upright and spoke to Mr. Blue with a serious expression. ¡°Jun Shiling?¡± Hearing this name, Mr. Blue¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Don¡¯t provoke him.¡± This man was not as simple as he had imagined.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Na replied respectfully.

    Soon, the call was hung up. Li Na looked at the phone in deep thought and called her mother. Her mother, who knew Mr. Blue a little, listened to Li Na¡¯s exnation.

    ¡°You can contact Jun Shiling in private. Since your father used such a word, it means that even he fears Jun Shiling. If you can contact Jun Shiling, your father will look at you differently.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After hanging up the phone, Li Na instructed the servant to send an invitation to the castle. Li Na was not the only one. Even Olly¡¯s prince had received a letter from the royal family asking him to contact Jun Shiling. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± Looking at the pile of invitations sent by the guard, Xia Yu flipped through them in disdain. ¡°Do you think these people are funny? On the one hand, they appear superior to others, but on the other hand, they want to use Brother-inw¡¯s business to earn money for them. Shameless.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that this was more humane. She nestled on the sofa and didn¡¯t look at the invitations on the table.

    Jun Shiling did not return for lunch. Instead, he sent a message telling Xia Wanyuan that he would rush back in the afternoon and let herpete in peace. Xia Yu sent Xia Wanyuan to the art museum. It was equivalent to a semi-finals that afternoon. After everyone¡¯s paintings had been reviewed by the judges yesterday, they had been sent to another city where Master Danny lived for the final inspection.

    The hall was filled with people.

    ¡°Wee, everyone. Everyone¡¯s works are outstanding. As for the judges, they chose twenty more outstanding paintings among them. Master Danny also approves of this oue. Now, everyone, look at the screen. On it are the names of the contestants who advanced.¡±

    Just as the host finished speaking, twenty names appeared on the screen. Everyone in the hall looked at them and did not have any objections. Most of the names of the painters on it had excellent painting skills. There was nothing to dispute.

    ¡°I protest. That Xia Wanyuan only knows Chinese painting and is so young. Why can she enter the next round?¡± A middle-aged painter looked at the host unhappily.

    He had left early yesterday and had not paid attention to Xia Wanyuan and Grey¡¯spetition. After saying this, he had thought that he would receive everyone¡¯s agreement. However, he didn¡¯t expect everyone to look at him strangely. ¡°It¡¯s only right for Miss Xia to enter the next round,¡± the host said, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was disyed on therge screen. It was a simple ¡°Morning Mist Painting¡±. The morning sun was half risen, and the fog was towering. Under the fog, the sun disyed a thousand different bright and dark changes.

    The painter, who had a look of hatred just now, immediately shut his mouth. However, he still mumbled to the painter beside him indignantly, ¡°How could she draw such a good painting? Could she have cheated?¡±

    Then, he received a ¡°are you a fool¡± gaze from the person beside him.

    ¡°Please let these twenty painters enter. Master Danny will give us the theme for this round.¡± Xia Wanyuan followed them into the garden and looked at the door regretfully. Jun Shiling had said that he wanted to see herpete, but she had already entered and was not here.

    When she entered the hall, she saw a pair of smiling eyes on the stage.

 Chapter 738 - The Princess Messed with Opponentâ€™s Mindset

    <h4>Chapter 738 The Princess Messed with Opponent¡¯s Mindset</h4>

    That pair of gentle eyes had a familiar smile on them. It was Wei Zimu. Xia Wanyuan did not expect to bump into him here.

    Wei Zimu nodded slightly at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was full of vigor and looked refreshed, his eyes revealed a hint of warmth.

    It seemed that she was doing very well. It was not in vain that he had paid such a huge price toe and visit her.

    In the westernmost part of Continent M, in a room filled with various experimental instruments.

    Yu Qian, who was dressed in a white long gown and had gloves on his hands, had one eye closed as he observed the cells moving under the microscope.

    ¡°Boss, Wei Zimu went to N City.¡± Jayce stood at the door and reported carefully, afraid that his loud voice would disturb Yu Qian in theboratory.

    ¡°I know. Don¡¯t worry about him.¡±

    ¡°Boss, this Wei Zimu is so soft all day and always breaks your n. Why are you so indulgent towards him?¡± Jayce really could not understand. This Wei Zimu did not even know how to hold a gun, but Yu Qian always handed some important missions to him.

    ¡°He¡¯s my brother.¡± Yu Qian stood up from the microscope with a smile that was even colder than the equipment in the room. ¡°Why would I me my brother?¡±

    Jayce subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The boss¡¯s words sounded like brotherly love, but he inexplicably felt that all the hair on his body stood up.

    ¡°Alright, I gave him a day to visit his Sister Wanyuan.¡± Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, a pair of clear eyes suddenly appeared in Yu Qian¡¯s heart. ¡°He¡¯lle back. Is the sea shark here?¡± Yu Qian took off his gloves, revealing a pair of hands that were as hard as bamboo. ¡°The sea Shark will be here in two hours,¡± Jayce replied respectfully with a cold expression.

    ¡°Got it. Go.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand. After Jayce left, he pressed a switch.

    The scene of Wei Zimu appeared on the screen not far away.

    Yu Qian looked at it for a while and the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Other than your beautiful eyes, your hands are not bad either.¡±

    In thepetition venue, the host introduced Wei Zimu, the special guest. The Wei family also had a portion of the business market in Continent M, and this art studio had considerable connections with the Wei family.

    Hence, when Wei Zimu suggested toe and observe, the curator arranged a special guest seat for him.

    ¡°The topic given by Master Danny in thispetition is¡­ color.¡± The host read out the topic. The first round tested light, and the second round tested color. It was a very normal process. Everyone had this feeling long ago, so they were not very surprised.

    However, this question looked simple, but it was very difficult to shine. After all, everyone present had deep foundation. Everyone had a good grasp of colors. If they wanted to draw something outstanding, they had to think of a better structure.

    Everyone was thinking, but Xia Wanyuan had already started to draw, and the sound of her picking up the tools was not soft. There were only twenty people to begin with, and everyone present knew that she had begun to draw. Immediately, everyone panicked and hurriedly picked up the brush.

    When everyone began to draw, Xia Wanyuan held a brush and quietly thought.

    On the high tform, Wei Zimu was amused when he saw this scene. He could tell that Xia Wanyuan had deliberately made the others panic first.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while before starting to draw.

    In her previous life, the maids that brought her up in the pce had very strict requirements of Xia Wanyuan. No matter what she did, she could not be the slightest bit disorderly.

    Hence, even when Xia Wanyuan drew, her actions were elegant and smooth, pleasing to the eye.

    Not only was Wei Zimu staring at her on the high tform, but even the other judges felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was more eye-catching and kept their gazes fixed on her. Less than half an hour after starting, Xia Wanyuan had already put down her brush. ¡°Done.¡±

    The other contestants looked up from the script they had just sketched with question marks on their faces. Is Xia Wanyuan deliberately trying to mess with our mentality???

    Chapter 739 The Best Brother

    However, after seeing Xia Wanyuan''s first "Morning Mist Painting", no one dared to easily guess that Xia Wanyuan had submitted her paper so early because she did not know how to draw.

    That meant that this person had finished painting again. Their mental abilities were rtively weak to begin with, and they were dozens of years older than Xia Wanyuan, but they had yet to finish painting his first draft. Their mentalities instantly copsed.

    Li Na, who had only just begun to notice Xia Wanyuan with the "Morning Mist Painting", looked at her in surprise. She had thought that her opponent this time was those older painters, but it seemed that this little celebrity from China was not a small threat.

    The judges wanted to take a look at Xia Wanyuan''s painting. After all, they had already seen how amazing Xia Wanyuan was in the preliminaries. However, being sealed in the box, the judges could only be secretly anxious.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk out of thepetition room, Wei Zimu greeted the judges and left.

    Wei Zimu stood behind and looked at her from afar. He felt that Xia Wanyuan''s figure looked no different from when he had left. Knowing that Xia Wanyuan had not lost weight, Wei Zimu was relieved.

    "Sister Wanyuan, how have you been recently?" Wei Zimu walked forward and stopped Xia Wanyuan.

    "Pretty good." Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks. "Why are you here?"

    Wei Zimu looked tired and seemed to have traveled overnight.

    "I saw your live-stream yesterday. I was busy in the west and wanted toe and visit you, so I came." Wei Zimu openly expressed his concern for Xia Wanyuan.

    "Thank you." Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa. "I''ve always wanted to ask you if you have a twin younger brother?"

    Wei Zimu was stunned. "Sister Wanyuan, you can tell?"

    "You''repletely different from him. It''s not difficult to recognize you." Xia Wanyuan''s words made Wei Zimu''s eyes flicker.

    "I do have a twin younger brother who got separated from me when I was young and only found him when I grew up. Sometimes, I go abroad, but when there are things in the country that need to be resolved, he takes my ce."

    Xia Wanyuan did not believe Wei Zimu''s exnation. Wei Zimu''s younger brother did not look like an ordinary person at all, but she did not probe further.

    "Speaking of which, how did you recognize it? No one has ever recognized it." Wei Zimu smiled gently.

    "You have warmth, but he doesn''t." Xia Wanyuan was direct. That Yu Qian gave her the feeling of a piece of ice, while Wei Zimu''s eyes were warm.

    "Thank you." Hearing Xia Wanyuan''s exnation, Wei Zimu''s eyes revealed warmth, and his entire person seemed to soften. "I brought this for you."

    "You brought snacks again?" Xia Wanyuan continued, "Do you treat me like a child?"

    "Ah, if you don''t like it, I''ll bring you something else next time." Wei Zimu''s eyes had a rare look of helplessness.

    He rarely interacted with girls and did not know what to give them to make them happy.

    In his heart, Xia Wanyuan was still the little girl who had given him chocte candy with her pigtails.

    But now, this little girl had grown up. She was no longer the little child who needed her brother to bring snacks from all over the world.

    "No need, I like it very much. Thank you." Xia Wanyuan smiledfortingly at Wei Zimu. "I like to eat."

    "Okay." Wei Zimu nodded. "Then I''ll get it for you."

    Not long after, Wei Zimu walked over with arge box.

    He was getting more and more restrained. When he could see Xia Wanyuan was not something he could control. Now that he could see her again, he wanted to give her more.

    "That much?" Xia Wanyuan took it in surprise.

    "Not much." Wei Zimu smiled. This was only what he had carefully chosen. There were still ten boxes at home that he had bought from where evere he went.

    Unknowingly, the entire room was filled with food. He picked a few that he guessed Xia Wanyuan would like.

    In this box, it was only one percent of what he had bought.

    "Thank you." Xia Wanyuan had never had a brother before, but at that moment, she felt the love and care from her brother from Wei Zimu.

    Wei Zimu was about to say something when his phone rang. Wei Zimu unlocked it.

    "Brother, there are still three hours left."

 Chapter 740 - Saving the Old Man

    <h4>Chapter 740 Saving the Old Man</h4>

    Wei Zimu instantly gripped his phone tightly. A hint of disgust shed across the depths of his gentle eyes. When he looked up, he had already returned to his original state. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, I have something on and have to leave first. All the best.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, and Wei Zimu turned to leave.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Zimu¡¯s back. For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling. ¡°Wei Zimu.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wei Zimu turned around with a surprised smile in his eyes. It had been so long, but this was the first time he had heard Xia Wanyuan call his name.

    Although he wanted to hear Xia Wanyuan call him ¡®Brother¡¯, this was not bad.

    ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with this ce. Can you stay and introduce it to me?¡±

    Wei Zimu hesitated for a moment but rejected in the end. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have something on. When I¡¯m done, I¡¯ll definitelye back to look for you, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not say anything else and could only nod.

    Wei Zimu smiled at Xia Wanyuan and gradually disappeared from her sight.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts were inexplicably chaotic as she slowly walked around the art hall.

    After walking around, Xia Wanyuan was about to return to the castle when she was suddenly stopped. ¡°Girl.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked towards the source of the voice. An old man, who was dressed very simply but could be seen to be extremely clean, was sitting on the ground, holding his ankle with a painful expression.

    ¡°Girl, can you call someone for me? I don¡¯t know how to use a phone. I sprained my ankle just now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to call the ambnce here. She walked over and looked at the old man¡¯s condition, signaling him to remove his hand.

    The old man looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion, but under her gaze, he actually sensed the dignity and subconsciously moved away.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched the ce where he had sprained his ankle. Her grip tightened instantly, and the old man felt a heart-wrenching pain on his ankle. Just as he was about to ask Xia Wanyuan what she had done to him, Xia Wanyuan had already let go.

    ¡°You can walk by yourself. There shouldn¡¯t be any problem, but I still suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup.¡± The old man had only sprained his ankle. Xia Wanyuan often saw military doctors treat such small injuries for the soldiers. After seeing more, she learned a little.

    The old man stretched his limbs and looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°Youngdy, you¡¯re a doctor?¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s a coincidence. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the time and wanted to go back for dinner.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± The old man smiled and nodded at Xia Wanyuan. Only then did she leave.

    Not long after she left, the curator and in-charge of the art museum ran over.

    ¡°Mr. Lison, I really didn¡¯t expect you toe. It¡¯s our honor to have you here. Pleasee this way.¡± The curator looked at the inly dressed old man in admiration.

    ¡°No need. I was just passing by to take a look. The venue is not bad.¡± The old man was not as amiable as when he faced Xia Wanyuan. There was a dignified aura in his eyes.

    ¡°Thank you for the praise. Your affirmation is our utmost honor.¡± After receiving the old man¡¯s affirmation, the curator was extremely happy. ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    ¡°Then help me send a car.¡± The old man did not decline.

    ¡°Okay, right away!!¡± The curator apanied the old man with a smile and arranged for his subordinates to send a car.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the castle. Jun Shiling was not back yet, and Xia Yu was not around either. Hence, shey on the sofa and read for a while.

    The weather was cool in early autumn. Xia Wanyuan watched for a while and fell asleep unknowingly. Only when she smelled Jun Shiling¡¯s scent in her sleep did Xia Wanyuan slowly open her eyes.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Jun Shiling had carried Xia Wanyuan to the bed at some point in time. Jun Shiling was sitting by the bed looking at her.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been sitting here?¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. She often woke up after sleeping and found Jun Shiling watching her.

    ¡°Mm.¡± As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was going to ask, Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°I like to see you. You look good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go somewhere today.¡±

 Chapter 741 - 1 Happy Chinese Valentines, Give Me Dog Food

    <h4>Chapter 741 Happy Chinese Valentines, Give Me Dog Food</h4>

    The helicopter brought the two of them to the highest building in the city center. Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and entered the room.

    The room was filled with the fragrantless flowers that Xia Wanyuan liked. On all sides were French windows that could look down on the entire city. At this moment, the sky had darkened, and the sea of lights outside the window was connected to one another, shining

    ¡°Happy Valentine¡¯s Day.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her from behind.

    ¡°Valentine¡¯s Day?¡± Xia Wanyuan reacted. She had been busy with thepetition these few days and had forgotten that today was China¡¯s traditional Valentine¡¯s Day.

    In her previous life, she had only celebrated the Double Seventh Festival[1] when her mother was still alive. Later on, she did not have the mood to celebrate such a feminine festival.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling carried her to the dining table. ¡°Are you hungry? Eat first.¡±

    ¡°No wonder you weren¡¯t around today. Did you make all this?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the food on the table in surprise.

    Braised pork ribs, corn chicken, cucumber prawns, c chicken wings, they were all her favorites. However, the color looked average, so Xia Wanyuan concluded that it was not made by a chef.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mind it. This is the first time I¡¯ve cooked these dishes.¡± Jun Shiling had only cooked a few times, and they were all pepper shredded noodles. It was still very unfamiliar to him to enter the kitchen to cook.

    ¡°Ah, feed me.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she acted coquettishly towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Okay.¡± An indulgent smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He picked her up, picked up some food, and fed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Is it okay?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious. It¡¯s the most delicious dish I¡¯ve ever eaten.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re so kind.¡± Jun Shiling could not suppress the smile on his face.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appetite was abnormally good today. She ate two bowls of rice for the first time, making Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ache.

    To people who gave gifts, the happiest thing was that their intentions had been confirmed. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions were undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of his intentions.

    ¡°Happy holidays. This is a gift for you.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished eating, Jun Shiling handed her a box.

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and saw a watch that had gathered a sea of stars lying quietly in the box.

    ¡°I learned these from others and assembled them myself.¡± Jun Shiling took the watch and introduced the dial and the needle to Xia Wanyuan.

    ia Wanyuan looked at the watch that was embedded with countless diamonds. Although she did not know the craft of modern watches, she knew how much effort it would take to make such an exquisite instrument so beautiful.

    She pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and saw that there were indeed some fine marks on the front of his fingers.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said as she looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden sentence shocked Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I don¡¯t even remember what day it is today, and I didn¡¯t have time to prepare a gift for you.¡± Sometimes, Xia Wanyuan really felt thatpared to Jun Shiling¡¯s love for her, her love was too light.

    ¡°Stupid, do I need you to prepare a gift for me?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was down because of this, Jun Shiling was relieved and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Actually, do you think we need to celebrate Valentine¡¯s Day?¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. Jun Shiling actually treated her very well every day.

    ¡°I brought you to celebrate the holidays because I wanted you to know that you have what others have. I¡¯ll spend all the holidays with you, but that doesn¡¯t mean I need you to do anything. Just enjoy it peacefully.¡± Touching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes surged with warmth. ¡°Actually, you choosing me is equivalent to giving me a holiday gift for my life, my next life, and the rest of my lives.¡± He didn¡¯t need Xia Wanyuan to give him anything. As long as she stood there, he was willing to give her the entire universe.

    ¡°I like you even more than before.¡± Xia Wanyuan buried herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, her voice muffled.

    ¡°That¡¯s great, my honor.¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    The room was filled with flowers, the flickering candlelight, and his lover with sparkling eyes. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he leaned down.

    However, in the next second,

    ¡°Wait a minute, get someone to send me some materials. I thought of what to give you.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling away.

    Although she had never experienced the modern world, she had also spent festivals in her previous life. She had thought of what to give Jun Shiling.

    ¡°¡­ Baby, actually you can just give yourself.¡± Jun Shiling smiled helplessly.

    ¡°Quick.¡± Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling and urged him.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Jun Shiling sighed and finally stood up. ¡°Understood.¡±

    Then, Xia Wanyuan nestled on the sofa and looked for something on her phone mysteriously. Jun Shiling stared at her resentfully for a long time, but he could not get any of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attention.

    [1] It¡¯s another name for Chinese Valentine¡¯s

 Chapter 742 - Long Hair Captures the Manâ€™s Heart

    <h4>Chapter 742 Long Hair Captures the Man¡¯s Heart</h4>

    The subordinates acted quickly. Not long after, everything Xia Wanyuan needed was sent over.

    ¡°What are you giving?¡± Xia Wanyuan had asked her subordinate to send Jun Shiling away. Jun Shiling still didn¡¯t know what Xia Wanyuan had gotten people to send over.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while. Don¡¯t gifts need to be surprises?¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s head away. ¡°Go and sleep in the bedroom for a while.¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll work by the side. I promise I won¡¯t look at you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan sternly. ¡°I¡¯ll keep my word.¡±

    ¡°Alright, then go and sit on the sofa over there.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at a sofa far away from her. Jun Shiling moved over reluctantly.

    ncing at the room filled with flowers and candles, then at his empty arms, Jun Shiling sighed.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s resentful expression, Xia Wanyuan was amused. She sat on the carpet and opened the bag with her back facing Jun Shiling. There were clusters of brocade threads inside.

    In her previous life, on the Double Seventh Festival, Xia Wanyuan had always spent it with her mother, younger siblings. In the imperial garden in the pce, her mother had taught her how to embroider and told her that in the future, with a prince consort, she could put her own feelings into a pouch and give it to him.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of red shadow satin, put on the thread, and embroidered it seriously. Later on, Xia Wanyuan rarely did needlework herself, but her foundation in her youth was still there.

    Although she was a little rusty at first, she quickly picked it up. This was a gift for Jun Shiling, and Xia Wanyuan embroidered it especially seriously.

    In addition, with Jun Shiling by her side, Xia Wanyuan had let down her guard, so she did not hear the footsteps behind her.

    Jun Shiling walked over and nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. He stood quietly for a while and only spoke when Xia Wanyuan pulled the needle out. ¡°Baby, so this is the gift you want to give me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up and nced at Jun Shiling reproachfully. ¡°Liar, didn¡¯t you say you wouldn¡¯t look?¡±

    ¡°I lied. Are you going to bite me?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and sat beside Xia Wanyuan. He looked at the embroidered cloth in her hand and saw the outline. ¡°Continue. I want to look at you.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Since he had already seen it, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it anymore and continued to embroider the pouch in peace.

    The light gentlynded on her. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was focused. Her ten slender fingers moved, and the threads circled a few beautiful arcs in the air, bringing the warmth of her body into the fabric.

    Xia Wanyuan had been embroidering, and Jun Shiling had been watching from the side. When Xia Wanyuan finished embroidery, Jun Shiling reached out and took the bag beside her.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

    ¡°I¡¯ll try it casually.¡± Jun Shiling chose a piece of cloth that was the same as the one in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. His learning ability was originally very fast. After looking at it for a long time, he wanted to try it himself.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped caring about him and focused on her work.

    Starlight flickered outside the window, and the evening breeze blew past. Finally, it pulled the corner of the morning sun out of the horizon.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. In her hand, an exquisite and small purse had finally been embroidered.

    The surroundings were set with golden threads and auspicious clouds. There were two sides of the purse, and the fire phoenix soared in the wind. It was lifelike. Xia Wanyuan nodded in satisfaction, then leaned over to look at what Jun Shiling had been busy the entire night.

    However, Jun Shiling grabbed the embroidery in his hand and hid it behind his back when Xia Wanyuan leaned over. ¡°If I don¡¯t do it well, I¡¯ll give you something else. Stop looking.¡±

    The usually calm Jun Shiling actually had an embarrassed look in his eyes. Xia Wanyuan felt that it was really strange, which made her even more curious.

    <b>S</b>

    ¡°Let me take a look.¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Hubby~¡±

    ¡°¡­ No.¡± Jun Shiling was silent for a while but still rejected it. That embroidery was too embarrassing.

    Xia Wanyuan pounced into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and kissed his eyes with a smile. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re the best. Show me ~¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Alright, the entire army was wiped out. Jun Shiling ced his hand in front of Xia Wanyuan as if he had resigned to fate. In his palm was a purse that was embroidered with something that could not be seen clearly.

    Reality proved that no matter how good Jun Shiling¡¯s learning ability was, there would still be times when he did not know how to do something

    ¡°I already said it doesn¡¯t look good.¡± Jun Shiling pursed his lips, feeling a little angry.

    ¡°I want this.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and took the wallet from Jun Shiling. Then, she cut a strand of hair and looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling understood what she meant without Xia Wanyuan saying it. He cut a small strand of hair too. Xia Wanyuan divided the hair into two parts and ced them in separate bags. Then, she handed the exquisite one to Jun Shiling with a warm smile. ¡°Long hair captures the man¡¯s heart.¡±

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile, Jun Shiling replied in a daze, ¡°Till death do us apart.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and carefully put away the purse that Jun Shiling had embroidered that looked like a useless bundle to outsiders. ¡°I like this very much.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was standing still, Xia Wanyuan wanted to pull him to eat, but when she pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, the world spun and the two of them were already lying on the carpet. ¡°It¡¯s already morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling angrily.

    ¡°Then dere your innocence in the day.¡± Jun Shiling did not care about that. He only had Xia Wanyuan in his eyes now.

    A cool breeze blew in from the window, fluttering the petals, but it could not dissipate the atmosphere in the room.

    In a secretboratory in the west of Continent M.

    The tip of the needle was shining with a metallic light. It pierced through his skin and sent the transparent medicine into his slender blood vessels.

    ¡°How many days will it take this time?¡± The medicine was cold, making Wei Zimu tremble.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes. If it¡¯s fast, half a month. If it¡¯s slow, three months.¡± Yu Qian wore gloves and sent the propeller in little by little.

    Finally, all the medicine was injected into Wei Zimu¡¯s body. Yu Qian helped Wei Zimu stpp the bleeding in satisfaction.

    ¡°Three months?¡± Wei Zimu frowned.

    ¡°Why? Do you miss your Sister Wanyuan?¡± Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. ¡°How about I catch her and let her apany you?¡±

    ¡°If you dare to touch her, I¡¯ll die in here immediately when you walk out of this door. I¡¯ll never let you develop what you want.¡±

    Even though Wei Zimu was an extremely gentle person, his bottom line had been touched, and his eyes had an extremely fierce and ruthless look.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Yu Qian smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to care about her. Be good and record my drug reactions every day. Three monthster, I¡¯ll let you go back and see your good sister.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian walked straight out of theboratory. In the closedboratory, only Wei Zimu and the cold equipment were left.

    Wei Zimu sat on the spot and stared nkly for a while. Only then did he pull himself together and inject a bottle of nutrient solution to maintain his strength. Then, he began to observe his health.

    Outside the door, Jayce weed Yu Qian when he saw hime out. ¡°The Sea Shark is here.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian threw away hisb coat. ¡°Look after Wei Zimu properly. If anything happens to my brother, none of you will live.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± the guards on both sides hurriedly replied respectfully.

    In a certain famous vi in America,ughter came from the living room.

    ¡°Is Master Danny thinking of taking in a disciple this year?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The white-bearded old man in the middle nodded. ¡°I recently discovered a very spiritual painter. The painting will be sent over in a while. Everyone can take a look.¡±

    ¡°Oh? To be praised by Master Danny as spiritual, we have to see it for ourselves.¡±

    Everyone was still exchanging greetings when amotion came from the door. Boxes were carried into the house.

    ¡°Old Master, the judges have chosen five paintings. Do you want to open them now?¡± A butler in traditional clothes stood respectfully at the door.

    an

    ¡°Open it.¡± The white-bearded old man nodded. The butler gestured. The easel was removed and the five paintings were ced in the living room. Everyone present loved painting, so they immediately stood up and walked to the middle of the living room.

    After circling around, everyone spontaneously stopped in front of a dark blue painting of ¡°Starry Sky¡±.

    ¡°I believe that the painting that Master mentioned has spiritual essence should be this one.¡±

    Master Danny stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Yes, from the news reported below, this is the treasure of the Blue family, Miss Li Na¡¯s painting. She¡¯s really an extremely outstanding young woman.¡±

 Chapter 744 - Brotherâ€™s Survival Desire

    <h4>Chapter 744 Brother¡¯s Survival Desire</h4>

    When the others heard that she was from the Blue family, they clicked their tongues in wonder. ¡°Mr. Blue has been sick for a long time. I didn¡¯t expect him to raise such an outstanding daughter.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. The technique of this painting is still young, but her use of color is very bold and spiritual. I want to recruit her. I¡¯m going to visit Mr. Blue in two days.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions, Master, for your outstanding disciple.¡± Everyone present looked at the ¡°Starry Sky¡± and was very envious of the Blue family. Behind Master Danny were countlessrge families. With this connection, the Blue family would probably rise to another level.

    At the same time, in the Arts Hotel.

    ¡°Mom, what if you¡¯re discovered by doing this?¡± Li Na was very happy to hear that Mr. Blue wanted to see her at first, but very quickly, she knew the reason.

    Fu Ping sat opposite Li Na. ¡°No, Mommy has already settled everything. No one will leak

    it.¡±

    In this world, money could make the devil go away. If the hush money was high, anything could be solved.

    But that Xia Wanyuan publicly drew this oil painting online.¡± Li Na recalled thepetition between Xia Wanyuan and Grey.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mommy has already gotten someone to take a look. There¡¯s only one painting she publicized, and that painting ispletely copied from Grey¡¯s painting style. You can¡¯t tell her own painting method. As for the judges, I¡¯ve already arranged it.¡± Fu Ping was very confident. ¡°Besides, what can a small celebrity do? Just wait patiently to be Master Danny¡¯s disciple.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Na was gradually convinced by Fu Ping.

    In the apartment, Xia Wanyuan only woke up slowly in the evening.

    ¡°Eat something to fill your stomach first.¡± Jun Shiling walked over with a bowl of noodles and sat by the bed to feed Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but re at Jun Shiling when she saw the red marks on her arm.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    When they returned to the castle, the butler handed her an envelope. ¡°Madam, Young Master Xia Yu brought this back from the art museum.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and saw that it was a ¡°Good Person Card¡±.

    ¡°Honorable Madam Xia Wanyuan, thank you for participating in this exchange. I regretfully inform you that you do not have to participate in the finalpetition. I hope you will work hard.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at it, then crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the trash bin. ¡°A group of people without the ability to admire.¡±

    Other than feeling that it was a little difficult to exin to the Qing University, Xia Wanyuan did not have any other thoughts. When she saw Jun Shiling, her expression was extremely ugly.

    ¡°Our cultures are different, so it¡¯s normal that they don¡¯t admire it. Besides, it might be because I didn¡¯t draw it well.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a serious expression. ¡°You drew very well. No one else canpare to you.¡± Jun Shiling was not someone who did not know painting. He had always felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was filled with spiritual essence. This talent was not something that others couldpare to.

    ¡°Alright, since I don¡¯t have to participate in the subsequentpetitions, I can go to the Go Master Competition. It will start tomorrow. Do you want to apany me?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Jun Shiling patted the back of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. They don¡¯t appreciate it, but I do. When we return to China, I¡¯ll organize an art exhibition for you. Thergest one in the world.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sad.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m still hungry. I want the chicken wings you made.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair tofort her. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have theirs affirmation. You have mine.¡±

    ¡°Got it. I have the richest CEO Jun in the world, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. She was actually not affected by those judges, but it still felt good to be coaxed by Jun Shiling

    ¡°Of course.¡± After calcting the assets on the surface, Jun Shiling felt that there was nothing wrong with the world¡¯s richest person that Xia Wanyuan had mentioned.

    Although Jun Shiling was worried that the smoke in the kitchen would choke Xia Wanyuan and had wanted her to go out and wait, Xia Wanyuan had always followed Jun Shiling and watched him cook.

    ¡°You like me so much?¡± Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dependence, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was filled with joy.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded. ¡°I like you the most.¡±

    Jun Shiling was overjoyed by her words, and Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to gain benefits. ¡°I still want to eat Spicy Boiled Fish. The food here is too nd.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was about to reject when Xia Wanyuan looked at him with sparkling eyes. In the end, Jun Shiling changed his mind. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it.¡±

    There was a lot of food this time. Xia Yu, who had gone out for a while, picked up a mouthful of Spicy Boiled Fish and ced it in his mouth. The next second, he frowned slightly and saw Xia Wanyuan eating calmly.

    Xia Yu wondered if there was something wrong with his taste buds. He picked up another piece and ced it in his mouth.

    ¡°Sister, don¡¯t you think the food today tastes a little bad?¡±

    The moment he said this, Xia Yu felt the air around him turn cold. He secretly nced at Jun Shiling

    Brother-inw¡¯s expression was so ugly. Did he think that I was too picky?

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, Xia Wanyuan secretly reached out from under the table and scratched his palm. Then, she looked at Xia Yu. ¡°This dish is quite delicious. Your brother-inw¡¯s skills are not bad.¡± ????!!!!!!

    Xia Yu froze for 0.01 seconds before quickly reacting. He turned around, covered his mouth, and coughed twice before turning around.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister, Brother-inw. I think I have a cold. Aiya, I keep feeling that my taste buds have malfunctioned recently. Let me try this dish again.¡±

    Xia Yu picked up another piece with his chopsticks and ced it in his mouth. The next second, his eyes widened slightly. ¡°It¡¯s delicious! Brother-inw, your cooking is too good!! This is the most delicious dish I¡¯ve ever eaten! My sister is too lucky.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly.

    Xia Yu secretly wiped the sweat off his face. ¡®Damn, that was close. I survived.¡¯

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was constantly picking up her food, Jun Shiling stopped her. ¡°Eat this,¡± Jun Shiling said as he picked up the food the chef had made for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Since Xia Yu thinks it¡¯s delicious, let him eat

    it.¡±

    Xia Yu: ¡°¡­¡±

    I shouldn¡¯t be at the table. I should be below the table.

 Chapter 745 - The Smell of Spring

    <h4>Chapter 745 The Smell of Spring</h4>

    Even though Jun Shiling had been stopping her, most of the fish on the table still entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°That¡¯s not nice.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a little heartache. He did not know how to cook fish. He had just tasted it and the fish meat was a little overcooked.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. What you make is delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that his feelings were more important. It was rare for Jun Shiling to make it, so she did not want to pour cold water on him.

    Jun Shiling liked it the most when Xia Wanyuan pampered him. He couldn¡¯t help but lean over and be pushed by Xia Wanyuan. Only then did he notice Xia Yu, who was holding a cup of water to cover his face.

    ¡°Um, not only have I caught a cold recently, but my eyes seem to be a little problematic too. I can¡¯t even see the way clearly,¡± Xia Yu said as he groped around. ¡°I¡¯m going to my room to look for my sses.¡± Then, he slipped out of the living room.

    In the ¡°Four Great Generals¡± group, Xiaoyu suddenly appeared.

    ¡°Brothers, save me! I¡¯m stuffed to death!!¡±

    Yang Lin, Zhang Zhe, and Su Mei appeared at the same time. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there any internal news? Is America going to kill us?!!¡±

    ¡°My sister and my brother-inw show off their love every day. I can¡¯t take it anymore.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Yang Lin originally thought that something big had happened. After reading the message, he was relieved, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you another day. I¡¯m apanying my girlfriend for the graduate entrance examination.¡±

    Su Mei: ¡°The goddess called me to run. I¡¯ll slip away first.¡±

    Xia Yu lost hope when he saw Zhang Zhe¡¯s profile picture with his girlfriend¡¯s photo.

    Autumn was clearly about to arrive, but for some reason, Xia Yu felt that spring was here.

    The next morning, the morning sun scattered on every piece ofnd with some cold intent.

    In thergestpetition hall in Sheng Dun City, the staff were finalizing the participants. In this finals, there were a total of thirty contestants chosen from the associations of the world and the top twenty from the civilian selectionpetition.

    ¡°Okay, please sit in your seats ording to your order. We will check the number of people and the coaches have to leave the venue.¡±

    Li Yi followed the crowd into the venue and looked around, looking disappointed.

    Jack nced at Li Yi¡¯s expression and scoffed. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you really think that little girl can enter the grand finals of the masterpetition? What do you treat this ce as? A child¡¯s amusement park?¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Li Yi clenched his fists angrily. However, long-term training made him consider the current situation first. He could not sh with Jack at this time. The most important thing now was thepetition.

    ¡°Where is Li Yi?¡± At this moment, the host began to read the name.

    ¡°Hey, here. Here.¡±

    Five minutester, all the names were read. There was still no news from the person who had created more than 200 consecutive wins and reached the top of the civilian selectionpetition.

    Thepetition was about to start, and usually, if they did note at this time, it was reasonable to treat it as a forfeit.

    The host read it twice more, but no one replied.

    ¡°The first ce in the civilian selectionpetition with-¡°

    Wait.¡± Before the host could finish speaking, a woman¡¯s voice suddenly sounded at the door.

    Everyone present looked in the direction of the female voice and held their breaths.

    What a beautiful Asian woman!

    After being amazed, the host frowned. Which contestant was so insensible to actually bring his girlfriend backstage? She really did not know the rules.

    ¡°Miss, please sit in the audience seats in front. This is the work area. Don¡¯t disturb us.¡±

    ¡°Work area?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°Coincidentally, I¡¯m here to participate.¡±

 Chapter 746 - The Princess Flames Others

    <h4>Chapter 746 The Princess mes Others</h4>

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan had an importantpetition today, the servants in the castle had specially prepared an exquisite gown and beautiful makeup for her.

    Xia Wanyuan stood there in her high heels, looking like a princess who had juste down from a prince¡¯s banquet.

    And this princess actually said that she was here to participate in the grand finals of the Go Master Competition.

    Everyone broke into an uproar andughed. Only Li Yi did not smile.

    ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Jack looked at Xia Wanyuan in disdain. ¡°Do you think you can enter the masterpetition just by moving your mouth? Don¡¯t embarrass China.¡±

    ¡°Miss, this is a world-sspetition. Please treat it seriously. We¡¯re going to start thepetition soon. If you continue to pester us, I¡¯m going to call the police.¡±

    Some contestants from other countries had already begun to discuss. Such a beautiful girl, unfortunately, had something wrong with her brain.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored everyone¡¯s doubts and walked step by step to the empty seat in the first row of the civilian selection area.

    ¡°Hey, you can¡¯t sit. This is¡­¡± The host hurriedly came down to stop her. His hand had already reached into his pocket and was about to call the security to bring her out.

    ¡°XINTWQ7231¡± Xia Wanyuan read out a string of numbers.

    When the host heard this number, it was as if someone had pressed the pause button. He stopped running. Why did this number sound so familiar?

    He was stunned for a moment before running to the side and finding the contestant¡¯s name list.

    Because their identities and information were iplete, the officials had specially set up a special ID password for them, and the string of password Xia Wanyuan had just read was the ID password for the first ce winner of the civilian selection.

    ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re Xia?¡± The host¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at Xia Wanyuan as if he had seen a ghost.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m already here. Can we start the next segment?¡±

    ¡°Ah, okay. I¡¯m done counting the number of people. Everyone can prepare to go on stage now. Just find the corresponding seats and sit properly.¡± The host clearly had not recovered from this news. He always subconsciously looked at Xia Wanyuan, wanting to see if this person had stic surgery and why she looked so young.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan had read the password, to be honest, no one present except Li Yi believed her.

    After all, outstanding women were already very rare in the Go world, let alone such a young woman who looked like a goddess. Even novels did not dare to write like this.

    Ignoring the suspicious and mocking gazes around her, Xia Wanyuan greeted Li Yi.

    ¡°Miss Xia, whether we can win or not depends on you.¡± Li Yi and Jack were on very bad terms. Jack was a petty person. In the name of training his will, he had set up many additional missions for him. Recently, he had been mentally and physically exhausted and felt that he did not have the ability to fight those experts.

    ¡°Good luck too.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and smiled at Li Yi encouragingly.

    Jack, who was beside Li Yi, heard their conversation and looked at Xia Wanyuan mockingly. ¡°Do you really think I don¡¯t know where your password came from? You Chinese know how to cheat the most. You spent money to buy an ID password and you really think you¡¯re an expert? Don¡¯t cry when the timees.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Xia Wanyuan disliked Jack, who received China¡¯s high coach fee but still mocked China. ¡°Think about what you can do after you lose this job. China doesn¡¯t fancy ungrateful people like you.¡±

    With that, before Jack could re up, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the backstage.

    There were not many viewers outside the venue. Because they were in Continent M, the Chinese audience was even fewer. A few sparse people raised red gs.

    ¡°If I didn¡¯t win this ticket at the lucky draw, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered to waste my time.¡±

    ¡°Damn, our Old Master insisted on watching and didn¡¯t listen to my advice. I already told him that the Chinese team would lose, but he didn¡¯t believe me and insisted on cheering himself. My poor weekend break.¡±

    Xia Yu sat in the crowd and was furious when he heard the conversation. Who said that China couldn¡¯t win? My sister will definitely be the champion!

    Xia Yu looked around and was a little confused. Didn¡¯t Brother-inw say that he was going to watch my sister¡¯spetition? Where was he?

 Chapter 747 - The Princessâ€™s Breathtaking Victory

    <h4>Chapter 747 The Princess¡¯s Breathtaking Victory</h4>

    While Xia Yu was looking around, music began to y in the venue. From the backstage, contestants walked out one by one. The sparse audience had a serious expression and began to recognize if they knew anyone among the contestants.

    ¡°Hey, that staff is so beautiful!¡± Among the group of people in shirts and ck pants, Xia Wanyuan instantly became the focus of the crowd.

    ¡°Staff? Doesn¡¯t look like it. Doesn¡¯t she have the number 31 tag on her? Is she a contestant? She¡¯s so young?!¡±

    At that moment, most of the audience present noticed this strange contestant and began to whisper.

    ¡°After an intense and cruel elimination, the people standing in front of us today are the most outstanding Go yers selected from all over the world. Now, please sit ording to the position of the first round of the elimination round.¡± The host gestured for the crowd to quieten down and announced the start of thepetition.

    There were nearly twentyrge broadcast screens in the venue, and the performance of the contestants in the field would be disyed to the audience through theserge screens.

    Xia Yu was still looking for Jun Shiling when a bag of melon seeds was handed to him. ¡°China brother? Get a bag of melon seeds. Let me tell you, thispetition is bloody long. I brought a total of twenty bags of melon

    seeds.¡±

    Xia Yu turned around and saw a young man in a cap sitting beside him. He had the temperament of a punk and didn¡¯t look like someone who would like a game of Go.

    As if understanding Xia Yu¡¯s confusion, the young man crossed his legs. ¡°Damn, my brother came here to be cannon fodder. My mother is airsick and insisted that I cheer for my brother on her behalf. What about you? You don¡¯t look like you like to watch Go.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Yu took the melon seeds. ¡°I¡¯m here to see my sister.¡±

    ¡°Female yer? Impressive.¡± Although the young man was not interested in Go, he had been suppressed for a long time and had a rough understanding of the situation. However, this did not stop him from pitying Xia Yu. ¡°Brother, you were forced, right? We¡¯re in the same boat.¡±

    ¡°Of course not. I came to see my sister win the championship,¡± Xia Yu immediately denied.

    ¡°Haha.¡± The young man snatched the bag of melon seeds back from Xia Yu. ¡®This person is quite good-looking. Why is he a fool?¡¯

    At that moment, thepetition had already begun. Xia Yu did not argue with the person beside him anymore. He took out the binocrs that he had prepared and watched Xia Wanyuanpete calmly.

    The punk youngster looked at Xia Yu¡¯s binocrs. The other party was a good younger brother, while he was a little incapable of being a younger brother. He finally felt a little guilty for scamming his brother all year round. He put down his melon seed bag and watched his brother¡¯spetition seriously for the first time.

    The audience, who had been watching thepetition for a long time, could be seen that they were experienced. All of them were armed with water, food, and even a military bed.

    In any case, the Gopetition would go on for a long time. The round robin of these 50 contestants was very long. The audience who were good at chess were already prepared to attack for a long time.

    There was still a difference between civilian and official contestants in the semi-finals. When it came to the finals, there was no such difference.

    The contestant Xia Wanyuan had faced in the first round was a member rmended by the Go Association of Han Country.

    Probably no matter where, the officials looked down on the unofficial.

    Li Hai, this contestant from Han Country, had been famous in Han Country for a long time. Seeing that his opponent was actually a woman, and such a beautiful woman, Li Hai immediately smiled.

    ¡°Does China choose people based on their appearances?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored him and looked at the referee beside her. ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡±

    The referee looked at Li Hai, who nodded.

    The cameramen all had natural beauty-seeking characteristics. The cameras that were originally swaying around gradually leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Sensing the camera beside him, Li Hai suddenly stopped the referee. ¡°There¡¯s no need to draw lots. Ladies first, let Miss Xia take the first step.¡±

    ¡°This? Miss Xia?¡± The referee looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s impolite to decline.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The smile on Li Hai¡¯s lips froze for a moment. On second thought, there was nothing wrong with letting her take the first step. In any case, Xia Wanyuan did not look like someone who could win.

    ¡°In that case, Miss Xia will go first.¡± With the referee¡¯smand, Xia Wanyuan was the first to y.

    In the audience, everyone had also seen Li Hai¡¯s actions on the big screen. They praised his gentlemanly behavior.

    ¡°This way, even if he wins against Xia Wanyuan, others won¡¯t criticize him too much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing even if he lets her make a move first. That youngdy will probably be eliminated in a few rounds. With him letting her make a move first, his reputation will be better. This n is pretty good.¡±

    ¡°Before you discuss, can¡¯t you take a look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ID code name first?¡± Finally, someone could not stand it anymore and said.

    Only then did everyone look at the names and IDs on the stage seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan corresponded to ¡°Xia¡±.

    The dark horse who had created more than 200 consecutive wins and crushed the semi-finals champion?!

    F*ck?!

    Everyone was shocked and hurriedly turned to look at the match between Xia Wanyuan and Li Hai.

    The battle between the civilian Neer King and the veteran expert was the most interesting

    However, when they really saw the broadcast camera, they fell silent.

    In just a few minutes while people chatted,

    The scoreboard in front of Xia Wanyuan and Li Hai had already changed to 1: 0.

    Xia Wanyuan was still calm, while Li Hai¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief.

    Everyone erupted.

    <h4>Chapter 748 Rookie Brothers Pecking at Each Other</h4>

    Li Hai had never taken Xia Wanyuan seriously, and after thepetition began, Xia Wanyuan proved that she had no chess knowledge at all.

    In Li Hai¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was just cing a chess piece in the east and a chess piece in the west. She waspletely disorganized

    Li Hai looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chess game and immediately lost all his guard. He treated it as if he was ying chess with his grandson casually.

    In the end, because he was too casual, he identally revealed a w and was caught by Xia Wanyuan.

    In the blink of an eye, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, which had originally been scattered, had be an army that covered the sky, roaring as it swallowed Li Hai whole.

    ¡°The second round.¡± After the referee finished speaking, the camera focused on Xia Wanyuan and Li Hai. Their group was the fastest to enter the second round, so most of the audience¡¯s attention was attracted.

    This time, Li Hai was more serious and guarded against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s inexplicable method. However, it was strange this time. Xia Wanyuan walked in a normal manner as if she was following the steps in the chess book. Li Hai inexplicably felt flustered.

    The majority of the audience present were people who knew chess. Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s footsteps, they were especially cautious. They suspected that the method to destroy the world just now might have been coincidentally created by Xia Wanyuan.

    While everyone was suspicious, Xia Wanyuan changed her train of thought and began to attack rapidly. Li Hai was used to her cautious methods. Li Hai was a little stunned by the sudden change. Xia Wanyuan had found a w again and destroyed it in one blow.

    ¡°The score is 2: 0, Xia Wanyuan wins!¡± The referee¡¯s expression changed. This Xia Wanyuan was young, but she was very good at psychological warfare.

    Just as the referee finished speaking, cheers sounded throughout the venue. Which audience watching thepetition did not want to see the exciting scene of a dark horse counterattacking? And Xia Wanyuan and Li Hai¡¯spetition satisfied the audience¡¯s desire to watch the fun.

    ¡°You, you¡¯re too despicable.¡± Li Hai looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily. How could this be? It was clearly a gentle breeze and drizzle just now, but in the blink of an eye, her fighting method was so fierce that it caught him off guard.

    Generally speaking, when ying chess, the style of the chess was rtively consistent from the beginning to the end. This was because the change in the style of the chess usually meant that theyout of the entire chessboard had changed. Frequent changes would reveal ws if one was not careful. In a battle between experts, once there was a w, it was equivalent to losing the entire game.

    ¡°Which rule doesn¡¯t allow me to change my ying style?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Li Hai. It was clearly an extremely beautiful smile, but in Li Hai¡¯s eyes, it was extremely hateful. However, no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do.

    Because there were too many contestants, thepetition directly adopted the Samsara elimination system. In the first round, facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s match, Li Hai directly lost the qualification to advance. Now, in his eyes, Xia Wanyuan was simply a thorn in his flesh.

    ¡°You win.¡± Seeing the coach and audience¡¯s gazes, Li Hai felt embarrassed and left.

    The words ¡°Li Hai eliminated, Xia Wanyuan advanced¡± quickly appeared on the big screen.

    The first round ofpetitions was usually rtively simple. Other than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s group, the other groups gradually ended theirpetitions.

    ¡°F*ck, I didn¡¯t expect that a weak person like my brother could advance. Hey, Brother, did your sister advance?¡± The punk young man leaned over. The joy of his brother¡¯s advancement made him forget that Xia Yu was a ¡°fool¡± and handed over the melon seeds bag.

    ¡°Of course. Of course my sister advanced. She¡¯s the most amazing person in the world. She¡¯ll definitely win the championship.¡± Xia Yu threw a melon seed into his mouth and smiled smugly at the young man.

    ¡°What?¡± The young man was unhappy. ¡°My brother is the most amazing person.¡±

    ¡°My sister is the best!¡± Xia Yu threw the melon seeds back into the young man¡¯s pocket. Tsk, I don¡¯t care about this person¡¯s melon seeds anymore. ¡°Your brother is definitely not as good as my sister.¡±

    ¡°My brother is amazing! My brother is the best in the world!¡±

    The young man, who had been despising his brother for being a noob a second ago, instantly joined in the argument.

    <h4>Chapter 749 The Princess is Really Violent</h4>

    Jun Shiling sat in the VIP room and watched Xia Wanyuan calmly win the first round and even anger her opponent. He was a little amused. This person was really getting more and more mischievous.

    ¡°Send this ss of water to Number 31.¡± Jun Shiling took the lemon water that had been soaked and instructed outside. Someone immediately went to send Xia Wanyuan a ss of water.

    The people below were still good at doing things. While sending it to Xia Wanyuan, they also sent it to the other contestants.

    Everyone praised the considerate organizer. Only Xia Wanyuan took a sip and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

    The water was clear spring water. One sip and she knew that someone had specially prepared it for her. This person was naturally not anyone else.

    ¡°Miss Xia, nice to meet you. I really didn¡¯t expect you to have such excellent chess skills at such a young age.¡± A tall man with golden hair sat in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    The scene of the two of them talking was broadcasted to the audience. Everyone gasped.

    ¡°This Xia Wanyuan is really lucky. Why is each opponent more terrifying than thest?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know the blonde man, but the audience was very familiar with him.

    Eric, a superstar rookie who had rapidly risen in recent years, had maintained a winning streak in the World Competition all year round. He had won many world championships and was a popr candidate in the Master Competition.

    The Neer King versus a superstar rookie, and the organizers of thepetition knew everyone¡¯s point. While ensuring that the other contestants had normal amount of screen time, they handed the extra duration to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wow, is this a chess yer?!! This must be a fairy!! She¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Just as Xia Yu picked up the binocrs, the young man beside him eximed.

    He had been watching his brother¡¯spetition just now and had not noticed that there was such a beautiful fairy. The young man¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Of course she¡¯s beautiful.¡± The corners of Xia Yu¡¯s lips curled up uncontrobly. That was Xia Wanyuan, my sister.

    ¡°However, I think this beauty is going to lose. This Eric is very strong.¡± The young man clicked his tongue in regret. He had just seen such a beautiful contestant, but she was going to get off the stage.

    Xia Yu pursed his lips, thinking that it was impossible.

    On the stage, thepetition began after the referee gave the order. After thepetition just now, Eric would not underestimate Xia Wanyuan. The two of them drew lots to decide the order.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Eric picked up the white chess piece and ced it on the chessboard. Xia Wanyuan followed closely behind.

    The more Eric yed, the more shocked he became. Although he didn¡¯t underestimate Xia Wanyuan like Li Hai, he didn¡¯t feel that she was very amazing. However, when they arrived at thebat venue, he realized how difficult it was to deal with Xia Wanyuan. There was no way to retreat or advance.

    The two of them chased after each other. Not long after, the entire audience watched their game as if it had stopped.

    Unknowingly, the two rounds ended.

    It was only when the referee announced ¡°2: 0 Xia Wanyuan wins¡± that the audience erupted in an avnche of cheers as if they had just reacted.

    Eric looked at Xia Wanyuan in front of him in disbelief.

    She was clearly elegant and as gentle as water, but her style of chess waspletely opposite. It could be said to be the fiercest style he had seen in so many years. Furthermore, she was treacherous and ever-changing. He would never be able to guess where her next step was. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re really amazing.¡± Eric was different from Li Hai. He really loved chess and respected Go experts, even if the other party was a woman who was a few years younger than him.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down the remaining pieces in her hand. To put it bluntly, the standards of these opponents were far inferior to her previous master.

    From the beginning of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s education, the Go Saint had been her opponent. The basic requirement for her to graduate was to fight her master to a draw. To Xia Wanyuan, these opponents were too ordinary.

    Eric left the venue very convincingly and walked past rows of media interviews, expressing his admiration for Xia Wanyuan to his heart¡¯s content.

    On thepetition stage, the people who ended thepetition first would continue to match.

    Compard to Eric, the next candidate¡¯s standard was even lower. Xia Wanyuan basically eliminated one person in five minutes.

    The audience watched the contestants leave in confusion.

    They were wondering if this Master Competition, which had originally been nned to take ce in three days, would bepleted in a day with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rapid elimination speed.

 Chapter 750 - The Princessâ€™ Request Shocked the Crowd

    <h4>Chapter 750 The Princess¡¯ Request Shocked the Crowd</h4>

    ¡°F*ck? Why has such a fierce beauty appeared in China? Why haven¡¯t I heard of her in the past?¡± Before the young man could finish his bag of melon seeds, the number of people on the scene decreased.

    Xia Wanyuan was like a human-shaped elimination machine. As long as one faced her, no one couldst five minutes.

    After another round of matching, a young member of the China Go team sat opposite Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I know I can¡¯t beat you. The championship depends on you.¡± The handsome young man smiled politely at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I hope I won¡¯t disappoint.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out and gestured for the young man to go first.

    Without a doubt, after two rounds, the score was 2: 0.

    ¡°Sigh, I knew my brother was not good.¡± Although the young man said that his brother was a rookie, there was still regret in his eyes.

    ¡°I knew it. My sister is much better than your brother.¡± Xia Yu pursed his lips at the young

    man.

    ¡°Nonsense¡­ F*ck?!¡± The young man suddenly reacted. ¡°Could your sister be Xia Wanyuan?!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Amazing, right?¡± Xia Yu raised an eyebrow at the young man.

    The young man put down his legs and brought the melon seeds he had brought with him to Xia Yu. ¡°Um, future brother-inw? Do you eat melon seeds?¡±

    ¡°¡­ Get lost!¡± Xia Yu scolded jokingly.

    On the field, two hours had passed. Basically, all the groups hadpleted the first round. With Xia Wanyuan having already eliminated 20 people,

    due to the battles between experts, some teams took a longer time to y a round. When the round ended, they looked up and realized that there were only four groups of eight left.

    The contestants fell silent, as did the referee and audience.

    This was the first time in so many years that he had encountered such a situation. This was too ridiculous.

    Everyone quietly looked at the creator of the miracle, Xia Wanyuan, but they realized that she was calm as if nothing had happened.

    ¡°Ahem, then let¡¯s continue to the next round of the elimination round.¡± The host cleared his throat. The various manuscripts that he had prepared in advance werepletely useless. After all, no one had expected thepetition to reach this stage.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan was facing a contestant from Cherry Blossom Country. In the current stage, no one would not treat Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength seriously because of her appearance and age.

    After all, everyone knew what happened to people who did not treat her seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan yed chess with a determination to kill. Her vigor was honed from the real battlefield of thousands of troops and horses. No matter how unyielding her opponent¡¯s chess style was, he could not resist Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attacks.

    Although the audience was already prepared, they really did not expect Xia Wanyuan to win so quickly.

    Seeing how Xia Wanyuan did not even blink, everyone really suspected that the person sitting in front of her was a fake ¡°national yer¡± from Cherry Blossoms.

    ¡°I admit defeat.¡± After two rounds, Zhongtian Jiro stood up and bowed to Xia Wanyuan.

    In the game, Xia Wanyuan looked down on the world with an aura thatpletely ignored her appearance and age, making one involuntarily submit to her.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Xia Wanyuan could feel Zhongtian Jiro¡¯s sincere praise, so she stood up and bowed back.

    In order to ensure that the contestants were absolutely focused, every group had a cubicle, so no one knew what was happening outside.

    When the other three groups ended thepetition and left the cubicle, they saw Xia Wanyuan drinking water leisurely. They immediately felt a little magical.

    The ¡°national yer¡± was also defeated by this woman who did not look like she knew how to y chess at all?

    The scoreboard beside Xia Wanyuan clearly affirmed their thoughts.

    Lawrence looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Asian face in disbelief.

    Are the Chinese cockroaches?! We finally got rid of Li Yi, why is there Xia Wanyuan?!

    Li Yi, who was in a bad state, had already been eliminated in the second round. He was more happy than anyone as he sat backstage and watched Xia Wanyuan win again and again. Seeing the disbelief in Lawrence¡¯s eyes, the depression in Li Yi¡¯s heart seemed to have disappeared.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the people in front of her. After calcting the time, she estimated that she would be able to eat lunch after thepetition.

    The organizers hadpletely lost control of thepetition.

    The host asked carefully, ¡°Do you need an intermission?¡±

    Logically speaking, there were only four people left. They should need to rest, but looking at the time, less than three hours had passed.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need it. If I end it early, I can still make it for lunch,¡± Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°Pfft, Miss Xia, you¡¯re so confident. Let me give you a piece of advice. If you¡¯re arrogant, you¡¯ll lose.¡± Lawrence scoffed. This woman really did not know how high the sky was after winning a few rounds. Lawrence had sent countless inexperienced contestants like her to see God.

    ¡°Can I apply to change the rules?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the host.

    ¡°What do you think?¡± The host looked at Xia Wanyuan as if she was a monster.

    ¡°Let them take turns topete with me. If one loses, they¡¯ll be eliminated. How about that?¡± There was something Xia Wanyuan did not say, but everyone could tell that she was in a hurry to eat lunch.

    ¡°¡­¡± The host was certain that he had never encountered such a strange request in his career. However, in the next second, thepetition organizer¡¯s instructions came from his earpiece and he agreed to her. ¡°As long as the other contestants agree.¡±

    Since Xia Wanyuan had said so, the other three had no reason to reject her.

    Three people versus one. Compared to the original mechanism of separating them into two groups to eliminate each other, it actually increased the difficulty of Xia Wanyuan¡¯spetition. They were very willing to team up and kick Xia Wanyuan out first.

    The audience was already petrified. They did not expect that apetition that was meant to kill time would actually make people excited.

    ¡°F*ck, she¡¯s too handsome!!¡± The punk youngster threw a handful of melon seeds into his mouth. He did not even have time to spit out the shell and chewed on it. He waspletely stunned. ¡°Brother, where did you pick up this sister of yours? Why is my brother so useless?? This sister of yours is Nuwa¡¯s biological granddaughter, right?¡±

 Chapter 751 - The Princess Infuriating Someone to Death

    <h4>Chapter 751 The Princess Infuriating Someone to Death</h4>

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xia Yu was overjoyed to hear others praise Xia Wanyuan.

    In the VIP room, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrogant expression, his eyes filled with love.

    Other people might find other people¡¯s arrogance to be annoying, but Xia Wanyuan was different. Hers was filled with confidence and ability, and her spirit that could rival everything. In Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, he felt that Xia Wanyuan was shining.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in front of the chessboard and seemed to have sensed something. She looked ahead. As expected, she saw a figure standing by a window in the distance. Although his face could not be seen, Xia Wanyuan knew that it was Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and looked at the referee. ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡±

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s begin!¡±

    In thispetition, Xia Wanyuan was more serious than before. The audience was also waiting to see Xia Wanyuan fight a real professional expert.

    However, ten minutester, the audience looked at each other.

    Xia Wanyuan was indeed serious. The result of her being serious was that she treated her opponent as her master in her previous life.

    However, the facts had proven that the other party¡¯s standards were far inferior to that of the previous generation of Go saints. The opponent could forcefully resist at the beginning.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attacks were too tricky, making it impossible to guard against. Later on, the opponent could not resist her attacks at all.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan wins!¡± The host announced almost numbly. He really wanted to say that he was tired from shouting this morning.

    The Chinese beside Xia Yu, who hade with their father, were extremely excited to watch thepetition. Although he could not understand it, it did not stop him from following his father and cheering enthusiastically when he heard the host announce Xia Wanyuan¡¯s victory.

    ¡°Brother, can you p your own leg?¡± Xia Yu put down the binocrs speechlessly. The brother on his left pped his leg in excitement. It was fine if he did it, but why was he so agitated that he pped the leg of the person beside him?

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I was too excited. This little girl is too amazing. How many years has it been since I¡¯ve been so excited atpetitions?¡± The middle-aged man smiled at Xia Yu awkwardly, and Xia Yu stopped arguing with him.

    ¡°Why is she so amazing? Is she still human?¡± Hearing the young man¡¯s confused murmurs on the right, Xia Yu turned around and saw that he was staring intently at the big screen and did not even spit after chewing a pile of melon seeds.

    Xia Yu rolled his eyes helplessly. ¡°This young man is quite good-looking. Why is he a fool?¡¯

    On the field, Lawrence stared at Xia Wanyuan as she eliminated the two people he viewed as the strongest opponents effortlessly. He felt as if his entire world had been reconstructed.

    Wasn¡¯t Li Yi the most talented chess yer in China? Where did this Xia Wanyuane from?

    Could it be that Li Yi was just a disguise while Xia Wanyuan was the carefully nurtured champion seedling in China?

    ¡°How despicable!¡± Lawrence couldn¡¯t help but curse softly. They actually used Li Yi to lower their guards, but in fact, they had nurtured an even more outstanding seedling. As expected of China, which had been corrupted for five thousand years. Shameless!

    Lawrence was not the only one who thought so. The other eliminated contestants and coaches also thought so.

    However, in the Chinese Arts Center, the leaders looked at the broadcast with confusion.

    They did not expect China¡¯s Go team to have any results this time. After all, the World Competition had been reduced to such a state that the leaders had even written their own criticism. In the end, they did not expect such a fierce Xia Wanyuan to appear halfway.

    ¡°Aiyah!!! What are you waiting for!!¡± The Bureau Chief, who had been frowning when he came in the morning, was smiling like a Buddha. ¡°Quick, contact the television station¡¯s media to broadcast it!! Send the news article to me too! Quickly promote it!!¡±

    Initially, because they were afraid of embarrassing themselves, the Bureau had told the media in advance, causing no one in the country to know about thispetition. However, it was different now. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s momentum, the Bureau Leader estimated that the championship title was stable. At the very least, the runner-up position was pretty good. He was ted. The Bureau Leader immediately felt relieved, as if he could see the bonuses and promotions waving at him.

    In the venue, Xia Wanyuan and Lawrence sat opposite each other.

    ¡°China is really amazing. For the championship, they¡¯re actually willing to let Miss Xia show her face only now,¡± Lawrence said with a deeper meaning.

    ¡°China is indeed very amazing. Thank you for your praise, sir.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and pretended not to hear Lawrence¡¯s sarcasm.

    ¡°Hmph, I wonder if Miss Xia canugh until the end.¡± Lawrence snorted.

    ¡°You go first. After thepetition, I can still make it in time for lunch.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not n to give a good impression to someone who had said that Li Yi was sick. ¡°You!¡± Only high-level people would give way to low-level people. Lawrence had been famous internationally for many years, and everyonepeted with him with careful calctions. When had he ever been humiliated like this? He immediately flushed with anger.

 Chapter 752 - Princess Wins Championship and Worldâ€™s Attention

    <h4>Chapter 752 Princess Wins Championship and World¡¯s Attention</h4>

    ¡°Alright, contestants, prepare to draw lots.¡± The referee saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

    The results of the draw showed that Lawrence was still the first to go down. Xia Wanyuan smiled at Lawrence. ¡°This is more legitimate.¡±

    Lawrence clenched his fists. This was the first time he had been underestimated.

    ¡°Begin.¡± After the host announced, Lawrence suppressed his anger and ced a piece in the middle of the chessboard.

    Xia Wanyuan followed closely behind. Wherever Lawrence went, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chess followed, as if she did not have her own thoughts.

    At first, Lawrence was still very careful, thinking that Xia Wanyuan was setting up the chessboard. However, gradually, even though he had deliberately wasted a chess piece to the most remote location, Xia Wanyuan followed closely behind.

    Lawrence looked up at Xia Wanyuan and narrowed his deep eyes. ¡°Miss Xia, are you kidding me?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯m just looking for a state.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Lawrence now felt that Xia Wanyuan waspletely evil. He did not speak further to her and continued to bury his head in his thoughts about the chessboard.

    Then, he realized that Xia Wanyuan was not following him anymore. Instead, she had changed her train of thought and waspletely opposite of him. Whatever he did next, Xia Wanyuan would take the opposite

    step.

    The more he yed, the more shocked he became. He had received so many chess skills and read so many books, and no one had told him that he could y as he pleased on the field.

    Those who yed as they pleased were either people who did not know anything about chess, or they had already reached perfection in their chess skills and did not care about the entire game at all.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, she was clearly not someone who did not know chess.

    In the audience, everyone gradually saw some clues.

    ¡°Hey, Brother, why do I feel that your sister is ying with the other party?¡± Although the young man was not an expert at chess, he had watched his brother¡¯spetitions for a long time. He had never seen anyone y like Xia Wanyuan.

    First, she followed closely and imitated him step by step. Then, she turned around and set up theyout withpletely opposite steps.

    The most important thing was that the entire chessboard had not copsed yet. From the looks of the two of them, it was probably more difficult for Lawrence.

    ¡°That Lawrence is trash to begin with. He¡¯s the only one who won the world championship and mocked our yer to be sick. My sister probably doesn¡¯t like it.¡± Xia Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xia Wanyuan had done.

    ¡°666, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with him. Someone like him should be beaten up.¡± The young man was furious when he heard Xia Yu.

    On the field, Lawrence naturally realized this problem. He felt as if he was a monkey that had been yed by Xia Wanyuan in front of the audience. Old hatred and new grievances erupted together, and he directly changed his strategy of ying chess and adopted the fiercest and easiest way to hurt himself.

    The coach below the stage sighed heavily the moment Lawrence changed his gait. Lawrence had been famous for too long and was already too arrogant. He could not even cross such a simple psychological battle and waspletely angered by Xia Wanyuan.

    The fiercer the method, the more holes it exposed.

    Although Lawrence was very annoying, Xia Wanyuan had to admit that his standards were much higher than those in front.

    As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.

    Chess yers would study their opponents¡¯ chess styles thoroughly before going on stage. Xia Wanyuan did not have the time to study before thepetition. She had just made such a huge detour to understand Lawrence¡¯s chess method on the spot and find a ce to break through.

    Now, Lawrence hadunched his fiercest attack on her. Instantly, all his weaknesses were exposed.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up.

    It was time to close the.

    Xia Wanyuan changed her roundabout tactics and her method became faster and fiercer. With the autumn breeze passing by, shepletely disintegrated Lawrence¡¯s seemingly powerful but internally inadequate attack.

    Lawrence could not ept such a change in the situation at all. It was as if his heart was covered. He adopted a method of injuring the enemy a thousand times and damaging himself ten thousand times. Even the referee was frightened when he saw this.

    Was Lawrence too agitated by Xia Wanyuan? Who yed like this? The audience looked at each other. They did not expect Lawrence to be forced to this state.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan wins!¡± In the end, the referee announced the results of the first round.

    The camera switched to Lawrence. At that moment, he looked as if he had aged ten years. So much honor and confidence had been destroyed by the battle just now.

    Even if he was the first to make a move, even if Xia Wanyuan had followed his train of thought from the beginning, he had always felt that Xia Wanyuan was the one controlling the entire battlefield. He did not have the slightest ability to resist.

    For someone like Lawrence, who was used to being the center of attention, this sense of loss was like a huge hammer that smashed his confidence.

    ¡°The second round begins!¡± The referee subconsciously looked at the time. Oh my god, from the looks of it, we can really eat lunch.

    Even though the development of thispetition was unexpected and even the rules of thepetition had changed, the organizers of thepetition were about tough crazily.

    The Go Competition was originally a rtively unpoprpetition. There were not many sponsors and the viewership ratings were not high.

    However, looking at the explosive viewership and sponsor requests, the organizers looked at Xia Wanyuan happily as if she was a money tree.

    The second round was very simple.

    If Lawrence had a chance to fight in the first round, in the second round, Xia Wanyuan had already grasped his ying style. In addition, Lawrence had been attacked and could not recover. In twenty rounds, he was defeated by Xia Wanyuan.

    The referee looked at the time quietly.

    At half-past eleven in the afternoon.

    Thepetition that had been scheduled for three days ended miraculously. The audience erupted with enthusiastic apuse and cheers.

    The domestic Inte media suddenly began to promote the news of Xia Wanyuan participating in the World Go Master Competition. The overwhelming news surged into the social media of theizens.

    When everyone saw the news that was released at the beginning, they were still curious. This Go yer seemed to have the same name as a celebrity in the entertainment industry.

    Some people clicked on it out of curiosity and instantly suspected their eyes.

    What unscrupulous media? They posted fake news every day. Just as they were about to scroll away,

    They suddenly saw the editor of the newsThe National Arts Administration.

    ????? It was actually official news!!!

    Theizens hurriedly swiped back and clicked on the live-stream link. It happened to be ying the video of Xia Wanyuan fighting Lawrence.

    It was already the second round of the two of them ying. Lawrence was beaten into a listless state and yed chess without any fighting spirit. Xia Wanyuan was rxed and casual. While ying, she had time to drink a mouthful of lemon water.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan finish off her opponent in a few moves, theizens thought.

    Fortunately, we made it in time. Normally, experts would fight intensely. One could think for half an hour. For a battle situation like in the video, thepetition had probably just begun. They were thinking of continuing to see what rank Xia Wanyuan could reach.

    Huge cheers erupted in the venue, and then flowers and gold pieces fell from the stage.

    The Chinese national song sounded in the venue, and the red g representing China rose.

    At the same time, the host stood on stage and announced to the world excitedly.

    ¡°Let us congratte contestant # 31 from China, Xia Wanyuan, for winning the championship of this World Master Competition!!¡±

    Netizens in the country who did not know the situation:??? What kind ofpetition is this? Why is it so sloppy?? It¡¯s just that the name is nice, right? You can win the championship with just a few moves? Is this a joke?

    Theizens who were watching the live broadcast were not the only ones who were puzzled. As it took a while to repost the video, the previouspetition had not been seen in China.

    The marketing ounts began to question the professionalism of thispetition with the live-stream of Xia Wanyuan and Lawrence ying chess.

    Some even wondered if the contestant opposite Xia Wanyuan was hired by her. How could he be in this state when he participated in the worldpetition?

    Chapter 753 The Truth is Out Country Celebrates

    Xia Wanyuan was now a very popr celebrity. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, the Weibo posts posted by the marketing ounts quickly obtained a lot of attention.

    [ Wow, our Yuan Yuan is still so beautiful. Gopetition? How many more surprises does Yuan Yuan have that I don¡¯t know? ]

    [ I saw a little of the video. Isn¡¯t thispetition a little too sloppy? How can you call it the World Go Competition? ]

    [ Actually, Xia Wanyuan is already a dual professor at the Qing University. There¡¯s no need to craft her character profile anymore. I feel that it¡¯s a little difficult to be the world champion. ]

    Mostizens did not know much about Go, so everyone was very suspicious of the value of Xia Wanyuan, the champion.

    Although he had obtained the runner-up in Continent M in the end, Lawrence was not at all happy. He was here for the championship! Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ystyle had really destroyed his confidence, causing him to be unable to recover for a long time after thepetition.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re really impressive. You destroyed your opponent to this extent. How can a woman like you be so vicious?¡± After receiving the trophy, Xia Wanyuan got off the stage and bumped into the Chinese Go team. The others were all happy, except for Jack, who looked at Xia Wanyuan unhappily.

    ¡°Is there a problem if he has ack of skills?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jack. Her pair of ice-cold eyes could not help but make one¡¯s heart turn cold. ¡°Compared to him, you should worry about when you¡¯ll pack your luggage.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words angered Jack greatly. The teammates besides him swarmed up and surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Senior Xia is really amazing!¡± ¡°Senior Xia you made our country proud!¡± ¡°You¡¯re amazing!¡±

    Looking at the Go team members chatting andughing with Xia Wanyuan, it was as if they were one family and he was just an extra person. Jack was furious. He did not even bother with the invitation of thepetition authorities and left thepetition venue.

    ¡°Brother! You¡¯re still a noob!¡± The punk youngster appeared out of nowhere.

    The elegant young man was not angry at his younger brother¡¯s teasing. ¡°Fortunately, China has a talent like Miss Xia. In the end, our country won. My skills are indeed not good. I have to learn more from Miss Xia in the future.¡±

    The young man looked at his brother and Xia Wanyuan, and his eyes revealed understanding. Tsk, what do you mean by sacrificing yourself for the country and not dating? What nonsense.

    Xia Yu followed and stood in front of Xia Wanyuan, blocking everyone¡¯s gazes. ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go back and eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and left the venue with Xia Yu.

    Jun Shiling was sitting in the car outside, holding arge bouquet of flowers that he had bought from somewhere.

    Xia Wanyuan took the flowers and opened a jewelry box in the middle of the flowers. Lying inside was a pure jade ornament. A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re quite good.¡±

    Xia Yu nced at him and praised him in his heart. As expected of my brother-inw. His skills in coaxing his wife were top-notch.

    ¡°Mm, I learned it from reading.¡± Jun Shiling did not know how to coax girls, but he would take care of Xia Wanyuan ording to the love books. ¡°Congrattions to our champion.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled until her dimples appeared, causing Jun Shiling to be stunned. If not for Xia Yu being present, Jun Shiling would have wanted to¡­

    Xia Yu tried his best to reduce his presence. ¡®I should be under the car.¡¯

    After Xia Wanyuan finished lunch in the hotel, she received many congrattions on WeChat.

    At that moment, the country had already exploded.

    The rey for thepetition waspleted, and everyone finally saw the entirepetition.

    Furthermore, after arge number of marketing ounts initially hinted at the low end of thepetition that Xia Wanyuan was participating in, not long after, a group of professional ounts and industry insiders stood up.

    @ Jieke: ¡°You might not know much about Gopetitions. To put it simply, if the Academy Award is a hallowed award in the film industry, then the Go Master Competition is equivalent to an Academy Award in the Go world. Those who can win bronze on this will be qualified to teach the Chinese Go team after retirement.¡±

    Everyone might not be familiar with the Go Competition, but people like Jie Ke, even those who did not y Go, were more familiar. As a former ¡°nationalist¡± of China, mostizens were very familiar with him.

    A heavyweightpetition personally determined by Jie Ke would really have great weight.

    In addition, in session, everyone began to criticize Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opponent.

    ¡°Even her first round opponents are top Go masters in Han Country. I¡¯ll casually post a copy of their victory history. I won¡¯t introduce all kinds of people like the national yer of Cherry Blossom and the rookie superstar.

    Just based on the opponent you think Xia Wanyuan hired, that¡¯s Lawrence, who has been in the limelight the most in recent years. He just won the world championship and is thought to be the most likely candidate to win this time.¡±

    Only then did theizens understand.

    So it was not because the opponent was too lousy, but because Xia Wanyuan was too strong?!

 Chapter 754 Legendary Princess

    Chapter 754 Legendary Princess

    As the video of the winning streak in the finals was released, the semi-finals, where the mysterious ount had won consecutively from outside the rankings within a day, was also dug out.. The industry legend of reaching the top of the rankings was spread far and wide.

    Detailed scenes of Xia Wanyuan and every opponent¡¯spetition were edited.

    Only then did everyone know what terrifying things had happened before thest video released by the marketing ount.

    Theizens asked themselves. If it were them, they would probably not even have the heart to go on stage after being tortured by Xia Wanyuan. Lawrence¡¯s reaction was still considered normal.

    [ Oh my god, to be honest, before I saw the topic, I felt that thispetition was trash. After watching the topic, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m trash. ]

    [ So Xia Wanyuan first swept through the semi-finals with 200 consecutive wins, then swept through all the Go masters in the world with her own strength, directly turning the three days ofpetition into half a day. Furthermore, she finally reached the throne of the champion?! ]

    [ The person in front, just listening to it makes my blood boil. F*ck, even novels don¡¯t dare to write like this. It¡¯s too fierce! What did Xia Wanyuan eat growing up? Why does she know everything? ]

    Not only were theizens heatedly discussing, but because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s controversial identity, all the major news media knew her ability to attract attention and reported thispetition without restraint. Even those who did not go online knew that a legendary figure had appeared in the Chinese Go world in the past two days.

    The leaders of the China Go team spent the night researching all sorts of ns to recruit Xia Wanyuan. This was the champion of the World Master Competition. After so many years, China had finally returned to the throne. The Go team did not want to let go of such an honor.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly replied. The request to let her join the Go team was very simple. Change Jack out.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request, the leaders had no objections. They had also heard of Jack¡¯s actions in the Go team.

    However, thepetition was imminent, and changing mentor was equivalent to shaking the morale of the troops. They did not dare to act rashly. Now that thepetition was over, they naturally did not have to worry about anything

    The city that held the Gopetition was always rainy. The n to return on that day was put on hold because of the thunderstorm that day.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sat on the ground, with the chessboard between them.

    In the masterpetition venue, Xia Wanyuan yed chess casually and effortlessly. However, facing Jun Shiling¡¯s attack, Xia Wanyuan felt very troubled.

    After thinking for a full ten minutes, Xia Wanyuan ced a stone.

    ¡°You win.¡± Jun Shiling ced the remaining chess pieces in the chess box and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t win. You yed too fiercely. This step of mine is at the end of the line.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. If it waspared to chess skills, in this era, Jun Shiling was the one who could really be considered her opponent.

    The two of them were no longerpeting in chess power. Instead, they werepeting in terms of their chests and hearts. A single mistake would result in eternal damnation. ¡°You won. Whether it¡¯s chess or life, if we fight one day and see that you¡¯re at the end of the road, I won¡¯t be able to take another step forward. You¡¯re my chess heart.¡± Jun Shiling put away the chessboard and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Mm?¡±

    ¡°I want to eat ice cream.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± For the first time, Jun Shiling did not reject Xia Wanyuan. He kissed her dotingly. ¡°Our champion can eat whatever she wants.¡±

    The interior of the house was warm. Outside the house, there was a thunderstorm and a strong wind.

    However, on the other side of Continent M, there was a blue sky and white clouds. It was peaceful. The Blue family¡¯s private ne was gradually rising into the sky and flying into the clouds.

    vas

    ¡°Remember? Mommy told you. Just insist that that painting was your inspiration.¡± The white clouds outside the window danced, but the noblewoman¡¯s heart was focused on Li Na and Master Danny¡¯s meeting.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom. I¡¯ve been learning Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting style from Teacher for the past few days. Even Teacher said that I¡¯m very perceptive. I¡¯m from the Blue family. As long as I follow Master Danny through the apprenticeship banquet, it¡¯ll be toote for him to regret it.¡± Li Naforted the noble woman in front of her.

    <h4>Chapter 755 The Queen¡¯s Return</h4>

    The next day, the weather improved a lot. Xia Wanyuan left the city with the trophy and honor. Just as the nended, Chen Yun came.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you still have to go out yourself. CEO Jun, walk behind. I heard that there are reporters and fans waiting for you at the airport.¡± After two days of ferment, everyone had an understanding of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legendary deeds. In order to increase their influence, the Art Bureau took advantage of the situation to increase the poprity. Now, the fanatical fans had already filled the airport.

    ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°No.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling objected first.

    ¡°There are too many people. What if they squeeze you?¡± Jun Shiling disagreed.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand tofort him, then looked at Chen Yun. ¡°The Go team¡¯s ne is about tond. Let¡¯s wait for them.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go and prepare.¡±

    After Chen Yun left, Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind. ¡°There are too many people. No one is protecting you.¡±

    ¡°What are you saying? Is Chen Yun not human? Or is the Go team not human? I¡¯m not made of ss.¡± Besides, what was this small number of people? In her previous life, when she went on patrol, there were times when she did not have guards. She was still fine, and no one dared to approach her.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly snorted coldly for no reason.

    Xia Wanyuan already knew Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts very well. She leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. ¡°Don¡¯t you just want to stand with me publicly?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling rested his chin on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder and continued snorting.

    ¡°Give me a little more time.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan ced her hand in Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°It won¡¯t be long, okay?¡±.

    ¡°You said it.¡± Jun Shiling became excited and looked at Xia Wanyuan happily.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, then pushed Jun Shiling away when he leaned over. ¡°I¡¯m going down. You can go outter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling had obtained Xia Wanyuan¡¯s promise and did not stop her now.

    Xia Wanyuan got off the ne. Not long after, the Go team¡¯s flightnded.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hey! Brother!!¡± Xia Yu stood aside when someone patted his shoulder. A blue-haired youth in a skeleton T-shirt blinked at him.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were studying abroadst time? Why are you back in China?¡± Xia Yu looked at the young man and felt that he had seen how arrogant he himself used to be. He immediately sighed.

    ¡°Sigh, didn¡¯t Ie back to China with my brother? My mother asked if I had forgotten the way home. From my calctions, she must have missed me, so I came back.¡±

    The young man flipped his blue hair. Fortunately, his facial features could bear such a bright color. If his facial configurations were slightly worse, he would probably look like the scene of a non-mainstream celebrity.

    Surrounded by everyone, Xia Wanyuan had already walked far away. Xia Yu hurriedly followed and the youth leaned over. ¡°Brother, does your sister have a boyfriend?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Yu looked at the young man suspiciously.

    ¡°Look at the one standing beside your sister. My brother looks okay, right? He¡¯s quite tall too. He has a house and a car. He doesn¡¯t smoke or drink. Can you let your sister consider him?¡±

    Although the young man said that his brother was lousy and despised him every day, he was still worried about his brother¡¯s marriage.

    <h4>Chapter 756 A Heart for You</h4>

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu nced at the young man and looked back inexplicably.

    The young man followed his gaze and nced back. He saw a private ne parked not far away and nothing else. ¡°How is it?¡±

    ¡°Give up. My sister doesn¡¯t like your brother¡¯s type.¡± Xia Yu could already hear themotion at the airport. He quickened his pace and walked to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Then does your sister like my type?!¡± He had shouted it casually, but the youth looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile. Forget it, I can¡¯t control such a fairy daughter from the sky.

    ¡°Coming,ing,ing!!¡± The fans who had waited for a long time finally saw the person walk out. The passion in the hall was ignited.

    Everyone lined up in two rows, holding flowers and banners as they screamed.

    The Go team appeared first. Initially, the Go team did not have much results this time, but the domestic Go team had already announced that they would recruit Xia Wanyuan into the team. The moment they appeared, the fans surged forward to send flowers.

    The Go team surrounded Xia Wanyuan. The moment she appeared, the entire scene could not be controlled. The fans squeezed one by one, and the reporters leaned forward desperately to interview Xia Wanyuan.

    Li Yi and the other team members were already squeezed. Xia Wanyuan was surrounded in the small space. She was not squeezed, but the way forward was stopped.

    It was useless no matter how the security guards shouted. Hundreds and thousands of people surged towards Xia Wanyuan one after another.

    The noisy voices made Xia Wanyuan feel a little ufortable. She took the horn from the security guard and turned the volume to the maximum.

    ¡°Everyone, listen.¡±

    For some reason, when the crazy reporters and fans heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, they inexplicably felt a sense of submission. They could not help but lower their voices, and the entire scene gradually fell silent.

    ¡°With this line as the separation, take five steps back.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood quietly with a serious expression. Light shone from behind her, making her look extremely solemn.

    The security guards at the airport were shocked. They had shouted until their throats were hoarse just now, but now, so many people were retreating at the same time.

    ¡°This is a public ce after all. Keep quiet. Thank you for picking me up.¡± After Xia Wanyuan said this, she returned the loudspeaker to the security guard and strode forward, leaving the protective circle of the Go team.

    The fans had already made way for her. Xia Wanyuan kept walking forward, and the crowd kept retreating. Only when she walked out of the hall did the crowd seem to wake up from their daze.

    ¡°Oh my god, this aura¡­¡± ¡°Hiss, I¡¯m not the only one who has the urge to kneel before her, right?¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan arrived at the manor, the topic ¡°The Queen Returns¡± was already trending

    After leaving for nearly a week, although the weather and scenery abroad were quite beautiful, Xia Wanyuan still felt happy when she saw the familiar manor.

    ¡°Mommy!!!¡± Xia Wanyuan had just gotten out of the car when a small figure ran towards her. ¡°Mommy, I missed you so much!!¡±

    Carrying Xiao Bao in her arms, Xia Wanyuan kissed his fair face. ¡°How much did you miss me?¡±

    ¡°I missed you more than Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao said seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°How do you know how much your father missed me?¡±

    ¡°I know. Daddy loves you very much. I miss you more than he does. A heart for you!!¡± As Xiao Bao spoke, he gestured to Xia Wanyuan with both hands. He had learned this from An Rao recently.

    <h4>Chapter 757 ss Princess</h4>

    ¡°I ept your love.¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re too amazing!!¡± An Rao heard themotion and walked out of the house.

    Since the old master was sick and Jun Shiling wanted to apany Xia Wanyuan, so he got someone to bring An Rao to the manor and got her to help take care of Xiao Bao. Over the past few days, An Rao had been staying in the manor.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at An Rao. Although Xiao Bao was sensible, he was still active at this age. Taking care of him was quite time consuming.

    ¡°No, Xiao Bao is so cute. It¡¯s not hard at all to take care of him.¡± An Rao had nevere into contact with children since she was young. Xiao Bao had red lips, white teeth, and a sweet mouth. She liked him very much.

    ¡°This is for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took out a jewelry box from her bag and handed it to An Rao.

    An Rao opened it and saw an extremely beautiful pair of diamond earrings shining under the light. ¡°Wow, sister, I love you to death!¡± An Rao opened her arms and hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling walked to the door and saw Xiao Bao and An Rao hugging Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling coughed before An Rao let go of Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling walked over and picked Xiao Bao up, looking at him unhappily. ¡°Do you know how heavy you are? What did I tell you?¡±

    ¡°I was wrong, Daddy. I won¡¯t let Mommy hug me next time.¡± Xiao Bao pouted pitifully.

    ¡°I can hug you, but don¡¯t pester your mother to hug you.¡± Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s aggrieved expression, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart softened a little.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Bao nodded and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, leaning carefully on his shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. This person really treats me like I¡¯m a ss person.

    Since Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were already back and An Rao had not been home for a long time, she greeted Xia Wanyuan and went back.

    After returning to the apartment, she felt empty for some reason.

    An Rao took out her phone. Bo Xiao¡¯sst message was from three days ago. He had chatted with An Rao for a while and said that he had a mission. Then, he did not reply.

    ¡°Dog man, you have to be safe.¡± An Rao sat on the sofa and picked up the ball of thread beside her. Autumn was here. She had been learning to knit from the online video ount recently. When Bo Xiao returned, he could wear it.

    Although Bo Xiao had never expressed his preferences directly, An Rao knew that Bo Xiao quite liked what she had made for him herself.

    Continent F, the years of war had already worn down the hopes of people here.

    Countless walking corpses were the most idealbor in the underground organization in the world. A bowl of rice could exhaust a strongbor force, and there were countless underground factories hidden in the darkness.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already located the enemy¡¯s location. It¡¯s in a small mountain in the southwest. There¡¯s a factory there.¡±

    ¡°The first team is on standby. The second team will follow me.¡± Bo Xiao stood quietly and looked at the distant mountaintop.

    ¡°Yes!¡± His subordinates received the order and hurriedly adjusted the team ording to Bo Xiao¡¯s instructions.

    After his subordinate left, Bo Xiao raised his wrist. The prayer beads shone quietly in the sunlight.

    Bo Xiao looked at it for a while, then lowered his head and kissed the prayer beads gently. Then, he pulled down his sleeves and adjusted the brim of his hat before turning around.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!!¡±

 Chapter 758 - Master Danny Taking in a Disciple

    <h4>Chapter 758 Master Danny Taking in a Disciple</h4>

    In China, the news of Xia Wanyuan returning to China had already flooded the Inte, especially a moving picture of Xia Wanyuan walking forward and the crowd retreating. It was widely spread among theizens.

    [ Queen, ept my bow. ]

    [ Oh my god, this aura makes me afraid. I feel that if I were at the scene, I would kneel down to her. ]

    ( Xia Wanyuan is simply outstanding among so many people. Is this the difference between a celebrity and an ordinary person? Her face and temperament are amazing. ]

    Currently, under the news about Xia Wanyuan, there were not many mocking and scoldingments left. Chen Yun watched theizens change the direction of the wind and sighed in his heart.

    ¡°Wanyuan is really hardworking. It hasn¡¯t been long since she became popr on the Inte.¡±

    As he scrolled through all sorts of reports on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Gopetition on the Inte, Chen Yun was extremely happy. It was as if he was being praised.

    The major online incidents in the past few days were basically news about Xia Wanyuan. In between these news, there were also reports of major international events.

    Among these major events, there was one that Chen Yun was familiar with.

    The day Xia Wanyuan returned to China, a major event happened in the international painting industry.

    The internationally famous painting master, Danny, had announced to the world hisst disciple, Li Na of the Blue family.

    Master Danny was a peak figure in the international painting world, and most of the Chinese people were familiar with his name. After all, he had once been on China¡¯s official news broadcast.

    Other than professionals, no one would pay much attention to such international news, especially in the direction of art.

    However, after this news was reposted andmented on by a few domestic artists, it became a very popr news. Xia Wanyuan had been in the limelight too much in the past two days. Thepetition schedule for the Go Competition was too hot-blooded. In addition, Xia Wanyuan herself was a dual professor at the Qing University. Even the price of her painting had soared.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan receiving such enthusiastic support, some people could not sit still, especially after knowing that Xia Wanyuan had lost the artpetition. It was as if they had found a breakthrough.

    Originally, many people had seen Xia Wanyuan be a professor at such a young age and it was an eyesore. Many people had to work hard their entire lives to be a professor in a school in a remote area.

    A professor at Qing University was a position that many people dreamed of.

    Hence, amidst the joy, a few artists who were certified as ¡°members of the XX Art Association¡± on Weibo reposted the news that Master Danny had epted a disciple.

    ¡°The current art industry is reallyughable. She can enter the Qing University just by hyping herself up. The overwhelming news of Xia Wanyuan winning the Go Competition is to cover up her failure to enter the top ten of the artpetition?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. What master of Chinese arts? She can¡¯t even enter the top ten of thepetition. She upies the spot of a professor at Qing University but doesn¡¯t have the ability to match it. She can only rely on hype, right? That so-calledpetition with Grey is just imitating someone else¡¯s painting. What¡¯s so amazing about it?¡±

    The fans quickly gathered under these people¡¯s Weibo. Because they were cultural people of the art world, the fans were very polite at first.

    However, these few people went even further and directly tagged Xia Wanyuan, asking her to exin why she could not even enter the top ten of the Arts Competition despite being a professor of the Arts department and a master of Chinese arts.

    When Xia Wanyuan learned of this, she contacted the school immediately.

    The teachers in the school were all very supportive of Xia Wanyuan. After all, art was something that everyone took notice of. In their eyes, Xia Wanyuan was a very qualified professor. Principal Yang alsoforted Xia Wanyuan to not care about those people¡¯s doubts. The school firmly stood behind Xia Wanyuan.

    Hence, very quickly, Qing University released a statement supporting Xia Wanyuan.

    With the support of the school and fans, the few of them gradually could not endure the pressure.

    However, at that moment, a message was sent from abroad.

    Master Danny was about to visit China with histest disciple, Li Na. The designated reception ce was Qing University.

    Now, the media had found the breaking news. Those few people who had fought alone to question Xia Wanyuan immediately became alert.

    <b>ame</b>

    Xia Wanyuan represented Qing University in thepetition, but she did not enter Master Danny¡¯s eyes at all.

    Now that Master Danny had arrived at Qing University, Qing University happened to be where Xia Wanyuan taught.

    The media had already prepared all sorts of interview manuscripts. They were all about how Master Danny viewed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting

    As for theparison between the winner of thepetition, Li Na, and the loser, Xia Wanyuan, just thinking of this scene, the media felt that the poprity of the explosion was waving at them.

    <h4>Chapter 759 Battle for the Almighty Goddess</h4>

    With the help of people with motives, the media added fuel to the fire and deliberatelypared Li Na and Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone was more familiar with Master Danny, so all kinds of marketing ounts began to unite and teach everyone about Li Na.

    @ Industry cat: ¡°Li Na of the Blue family is really a goddess with a family background, looks, and talent. Look at her life resume.

    The beloved daughter of the Blue family. She obtained a master¡¯s double degree from the world¡¯s top university at a young age. She won many medals for piano, violin, horsemanship, shooting and fencing. Now, she has even be Master Danny¡¯sst disciple. This is a proper all-rounded goddess. Inparison, Xia Wanyuan is really not that interesting.¡±

    [ I¡¯m really floating. I actually think that Xia Wanyuan is just like that. With Li Na¡¯s background, she received so many medals. Nuwa is too unfair. ]

    [ That¡¯s why Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans shouldn¡¯t brag too much. There¡¯s always someone better. Look at her resume. She¡¯s simply invincible. The key is that she¡¯s so beautiful. ]

    [ Are you crazy?? If Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t amazing, are you amazing? In reality, you¡¯re nothing, but on the Inte, you look down on everywhere. Can you just use a keyboard to guide the mountains? ]

    What the fans could not stand the most was their idol beingpared to someone else and being used as a foil.

    Xia Wanyuan now had a considerable number of fans who were arguing with the marketing ount.

    Chen Yun got thepany to find some public rtions robots to try to ease this intense argument.

    ¡°What the heck? How is our Wanyuan rted to Li Na? These media are really afraid of the world not being chaotic for the sake of poprity and report blindly.¡± Chen Yun flipped through Weibo and was extremely angry. ¡°This painting is only so-so. I think Wanyuan¡¯s painting is much better than hers.¡±

    As Chen Yun spoke, he gave Xia Wanyuan a screenshot of Li Na¡¯s painting hanging at Master Danny¡¯s disciple recruitment banquet.

    ¡°Wanyuan, look at this painting. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s as good as yours. Isn¡¯t this judge a little blind? Don¡¯t be sad. I don¡¯t think they have much appreciation level.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had just finished sses and returned to the office. She clicked on her phone and was stunned for a moment. Then, she zoomed in on the screenshot that Chen Yun had sent and frowned slightly.

    The painting on it was clearly thest painting she had drawn. However, the media reports said that Master Danny had seen Li Na¡¯s talent from this painting, so he had directly taken her in as a disciple.

    ¡°Professor Xia, the Inte is so noisy. When Master Danny and the reste, why don¡¯t you take a few days off? In case those media cause trouble again.¡± The other teachers in the office were still very concerned about Xia Wanyuan. Everyone had heard about the news on the Inte.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll talk to the principal.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at her colleague and went to the principal¡¯s office.

    ¡°Are you sure, Professor Xia?! You mean that Miss Li Na stole your painting results and obtained the disciple position of Master Danny?¡± Principal Yang was a little surprised when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Then you¡¯ll receive them when the timees.¡± Principal Yang trusted Xia Wanyuan very much. Although this matter was incredible, he stood firm on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    ¡°Although they¡¯re powerful and have a high status, they can¡¯t bully our teacher in China. Do whatever you want. Qing University is standing behind you.¡±

    Principal Yang knew that with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s character, she would definitely not let the matter rest if the painting was stolen. However, he also believed that Xia Wanyuan knew her limits.

    ¡°Thank you, Principal.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very grateful for Principal Yang¡¯s trust.

    Coincidentally, Principal Yang¡¯s phone rang. Xia Wanyuan was about to leave after greeting him.

    ¡°Dad, I brought you food.¡± The office door was pushed open and a young man walked in with a lunch box.

    Principal Yang nced at the lunch box in his son¡¯s hand and sighed in his heart. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wanyuan, this is my son. He quite likes you. He learned from others and chases celebrities every day.¡±

    Look, my rebellious son had already given me food for half a month. I knew very well who he was here for.

    The young man was a little embarrassed by Principal Yang¡¯s words. He touched the back of his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re my idol.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°You have to study hard and try to attend my ss when the timees.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± The young man nodded obediently.

    Until Xia Wanyuan left, Principal Yang patted his son¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Are you satisfied? Look at how outstanding your idol is, then look at you. Hey, where are you going?¡± Before Principal Yang could finish speaking, the youth raised his foot and prepared to leave.

    ¡°Go and study! Didn¡¯t you hear what my idol said? Bye, you can settle your lunch in the canteen tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Rascal.¡± Principal Yang smiled helplessly, but he was extremely relieved. A while ago, this child was in his rebellious phase and caused chaos in the house. With just a sentence from Xia Wanyuan, he realized he had to study seriously. The power of an idol was quite useful sometimes.

 Chapter 760 - 760 Try the Cake and See if itâ€™s Sweet

    <h4>Chapter 760 Try the Cake and See if it¡¯s Sweet</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan left the office and looked at the painting on her phone.

    She was not interested in Master Danny¡¯s disciple position, but this did not mean that she would let others take away her painting results.

    Just as she was thinking about this, the phone suddenly rang. ¡°Baby, I¡¯ll pick you up at the door.¡±

    ¡°I still have to go to the production team in the afternoon. Why are you picking me up now?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts were disrupted as she asked Jun Shiling in amusement.

    ¡°Come out, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan quickly walked out and got into the car. Jun Shiling handed her a small osmanthus cake. ¡°Try it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan scooped a spoonful and ced it in her mouth. It was sweet but not greasy with a faint fragrance. Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°It¡¯s very delicious.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good that it¡¯s delicious. I¡¯ll take you to lunch. After eating, I¡¯ll send you to the production team.¡± Jun Shiling was happy to see Xia Wanyuan eating in satisfaction.

    ¡°You came over in the afternoon just to send me this?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not tell that Jun Shiling had other matters on.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°It¡¯s autumn, and the osmanthus flowers are blooming. I heard from the dessert chef that a new cake has been developed, so I wanted to send it over for you to try.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan was a little touched.

    It was not because the cake was delicious, but because Jun Shiling thought of her for everything he encountered.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and rubbed it like a coquettish cat, tickling Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Thank you for what? Do you like the smell of osmanthus?¡± Jun Shiling took the spoon from Xia Wanyuan and fed her himself.

    ¡°It¡¯s too thick. I like it light.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that the osmanthus flower still smelled very good, but it would be ufortable if it was too strong. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get someone to nt some in the backyard of the manor.¡±

    The manor wasrge enough, and Jun Shiling wanted to nt some in the backyard. When the smell floated to the main building, it would coincidentally be the faint fragrance of flowers. Xia Wanyuan should like it.

    ¡°Does the greenery in the house have to be changed once a quarter?¡± Spring, peach blossoms, summer lotus flowers, and autumn osmanthus flowers. ¡°Are you preparing to grow plum blossoms in the winter? CEO Jun, you¡¯re so rich,¡± Xia Wanyuan teased Jun Shiling

    ¡°Don¡¯t you like flowers? When winteres, I¡¯l nt plum blossoms in the entire manor.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°Don¡¯t I earn money to make you happy? Don¡¯t worry, I have money.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up as she looked up at Jun Shiling

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling was thinking about what kind of flowers Xia Wanyuan would like in the autumn manor.

    ¡°Try the cake too. It seems a little too sweet.¡±

    ¡°Really? I specially instructed Master not to make it too sweet.¡± Jun Shiling said that he wanted to taste the cake with a spoon, but Xia Wanyuan pulled his sleeve. Jun Shiling lowered his head and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan tapped her red lips. ¡°Try this.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling admitted that he could not control himself when Xia Wanyuan was so proactive.

    The apartment was closest to the production team where Xia Wanyuan was filming, so the chauffeur drove to the apartment.

    ¡°Baby, what do you want to eat for lunch?¡± Jun Shiling, who had eaten his fill, had spring in his eyes.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me.¡± Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling. This person was really pushing his luck.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll talk to you when you want to talk to me.¡± Jun Shiling was not angry. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up. He held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked upstairs.

    After leaving the elevator, Xia Wanyuan saw that the door to An Rao¡¯s house was actually open. From time to time, argument could be heard from inside.

 Chapter 761 - Biased

    <h4>Chapter 761 Biased</h4>

    The voicesing from the house were mixed and she could tell that there were more people. Xia Wanyuan nced at them. ¡°GO back first. I¡¯ll go and see what¡¯s going on.¡±

    ¡°Okay, give me your phone,¡± Jun Shiling said as he took out his phone from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bag and called himself. ¡°Don¡¯t hang up the phone. You¡¯re not allowed to fight.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly and ced the connected phone back in her bag, then turned and walked towards An Rao¡¯s house.

    The door was ajar. Xia Wanyuan gently pushed it open.

    ¡°Do you think you¡¯re amazing just because you¡¯re an actress? Look at what you¡¯re wearing. You¡¯re so indecent. Your father and I don¡¯t have the face to say that you¡¯re our daughter outside!¡± Xia Wanyuan had just entered when she heard a middle-aged woman¡¯s voice.

    ¡°Tsk, haven¡¯t you always only had one daughter? So what if I¡¯m an actress? Don¡¯t you have the younger daughter you¡¯re so proud of? Do you still need me?¡± From the beginning to the end, An Rao had always looked magnanimous in front of everyone. Xia Wanyuan rarely heard her pretend to be strong.

    ¡°How dare you talk back to me?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked to the living room door and saw a middle-aged man raising his hand, looking as if he was about to p An Rao.

    ¡°An Rao,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly said, attracting the attention of the living room.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise, her eyes still filled with tears.

    ¡°Who is this?¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, the middle-aged woman sized her up.

    An Rao came from an extremely traditional family. Regarding An Rao¡¯s entry into the entertainment industry, Father An and Mother An had once objected to the point where they wanted to sever ties with her. Hence, they had never paid attention to all the news about An Rao in the entertainment industry, and they did not know that An Rao¡¯s good friend, Xia Wanyuan, was in the entertainment industry.

    ¡°I¡¯m her friend.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat beside An Rao.

    ¡°An actress?¡± Mother An was dressed in a gray suit, and her hair wasbed neatly. Her eyes behind the sses were filled with disdain and criticism.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    At this moment, the way Mother An looked at Xia Wanyuan hadpletely changed. No wonder she looked so fox-like. Mother An, who had originally wanted to receive guests,pletely stopped thinking and ignored Xia Wanyuan, giving An Rao an ultimatum.

    ¡°Your sister is about to go to the second university in Beijing. We rented a house beside the school for her. Take good care of her. If anything happens to her, you don¡¯t have to go home anymore.¡±

    After speaking, Mrs. An added, ¡°Don¡¯t let her ssmates see that you¡¯re her sister. My An family is a proper family, we can¡¯t afford to lose face like this.¡±

    With that, Mother An and Father An stood up and left the room. They hade this time to send An Rao¡¯s sister to school.

    Even though An Rao had a house in Beijing, they never stayed at An Rao¡¯s house every time they came. In Mother An¡¯s words, every cent An Rao earned made her feel disgusted.

    ¡°Your biological parents?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know the situation, so she did not speak much. After Father An and Mother An left, she asked An Rao.

    ¡°Yes, biological.¡± An Rao lowered her head in disappointment.

    ¡°Your younger sister?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s adopted. Isn¡¯t it funny?¡± An Raoughed at herself. ¡°They value their reputation more than their lives. I, their daughter who entered the entertainment industry, made them feel very embarrassed. And that adopted daughter¡¯s homework was outstanding, she was obedient and sensible. She has been their pride since she was young.¡±

    At this point, An Rao choked with grievance. She had a straightforward personality since she was young. If she liked someone, she liked them. If she didn¡¯t, she wouldn¡¯t deliberately please them.

    Ever since she was young, every time she had a conflict with that so-called sister, even if it was not her fault, because her attitude was too unyielding and her parents doted on her sister more, the one at fault would always be An Rao. Over time, she was used to admitting all her mistakes.

    Perhaps because she had been suppressed since she was young, An Rao had made the decision to resist her parents the most after she became an adult. Didn¡¯t they hate the entertainment industry the most? Then I would enter the entertainment industry.

    It was because of this very matter that Father An and Mother An werepletely disappointed in An Rao.

 Chapter 762 - CEO Jun was Abandoned Again

    <h4>Chapter 762 CEO Jun was Abandoned Again</h4>

    After An Rao exined, Xia Wanyuan roughly understood the situation. She patted the back of An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°Do you like to be a celebrity?¡±

    ¡°In the past, I was just acting out of spite. I wanted to do whatever I felt they hated the most.¡± An Rao sobbed twice. ¡°Later on, I felt that I quite liked living under this spotlight. I could wear beautiful clothes and act out a different life. Furthermore, many people liked

    me.¡±

    What An Rao enjoyed the most was still being liked by many people when she was a celebrity.

    Father An was a high official while Mother An was a teacher in an important middle school. This family that did not need to worry about food and clothing had never given An Rao any love.

    ¡°Then just continue. Ignore their thoughts and just be happy.¡±

    In her previous life, people valued family more. Xia Wanyuan had even seen many families who had forced their children to death with their own hands. It was all for the so-called face in their parents¡¯ hearts.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re the best.¡± An Rao opened her arms to Xia Wanyuan and hugged her tightly. She suddenly felt less sad.

    ¡°I¡¯ll eat here with you. I¡¯ll order whatever you want to eat.¡± Seeing An Rao like this, Xia Wanyuan was worried that she would stay here alone.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get my phone and see what¡¯s delicious.¡±

    An Rao let go of Xia Wanyuan, who took out her phone. The voice call was still connected.

    ¡°Alright, you left me again.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s maic voice came from the phone with obvious bitterness.

    ¡°Then why don¡¯t youe with us?¡±

    ¡°Forget it, you guys eat. I¡¯m used to being left behind by you.¡± Jun Shiling had also heard what had happened on An Rao¡¯s side over the phone just now. An Rao was afraid that he would know. It was not suitable for him to go at this moment.

    ¡°You make yourself sound so pitiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling¡¯s intive tone. ¡°Can I pick you up at yourpany tonight? Good boy.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling was only teasing Xia Wanyuan and was not really angry with her. ¡°Then be careful and don¡¯t eat too spicy food. I¡¯ll go back to thepany first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up Jun Shiling¡¯s call, An Rao happened toe over. ¡°Sister, when do you think Bo Xiao will be back?¡±

    ¡°I heard from Jun Shiling that their operation went very smoothly. He should be back soon.¡±

    ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve always wanted to say that I know CEO Jun is rich, but why does he know so much about Bo Xiao¡¯s military affairs? Shouldn¡¯t such an operation be kept very secretive?¡± An Rao leaned over mysteriously. ¡°Is CEO Jun that kind of big shot secretly?¡±

    ¡°Order your food. You know too much.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked at An Rao.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll order food.¡± An Rao made a face at Xia Wanyuan and began to order Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite food.

    On the other hand, Father An and Mother An returned to the house they had rented for An Lin.

    ¡°Dad, Mom, you¡¯re back. Where¡¯s Sister?¡± An Lin, who was wearing a white dress, did not put on any makeup, but she had the youthful beauty of a young girl. ¡°Why are you mentioning her? Have you contacted the teacher in advance? You have to study hard in university and not waste your time.¡± At the mention of An Rao, Mother An looked unhappy.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted her. I¡¯ll studyter.¡± An Lin smiled obediently at Mother An.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go to the airport with your fatherter. You don¡¯t have to send us. If there¡¯s anything, look for An Rao. But don¡¯t be led astray by her, okay? Don¡¯t disappoint us.¡± Mother An looked at An Lin¡¯s obedient expression and was satisfied.

    The atmosphere in the An family had always been oppressive, but under such circumstances, An Lin still chatted andughed with Father An and Mother An very patiently.

    Until Father An and Mother An left the apartment with their luggage, An Lin read for nearly two hours and called Father An and Mother An on time.

    Knowing that the two elders had already arrived at their destination, An Lin carefully instructed them on many things. Father An and Mother An returned home in satisfaction, and only then did An Lin call An Rao.

    ¡°Hello, Sister, I¡¯m afraid to live alone. Can I stay with you?¡±

 Chapter 763 - Eat properly

    <h4>Chapter 763 Eat properly</h4>

    An Rao¡¯s rtionship with this sister could not be said to be good, but it could not be said to be bad either. She had moved out of the An family since she was an adult and had little contact with the An family. Father An and Mother An were afraid that An Rao would lead their Qing University seedling astray, so they strictly controlled An Lin and An Rao¡¯s rtionship.

    An Lin wanted toe and live with An Rao, and An Rao did not object. She told An Lin the location, and An Lin called a car over.

    ¡°Sister.¡± The doorbell rang. An Rao opened the door. An Lin stood quietly at the door with a calmness that far surpassed her peers.

    ¡°Come in. Just stay in the guest room. This ce isn¡¯t far from your school,¡± An Rao said as she weed An Lin in.

    The moment An Lin entered, she saw Xia Wanyuan on the sofa.

    She was not Father An and Mother An. No matter how hard a young person studied, she would still receive some information on the Inte.

    ¡°Hello, Professor Xia.¡± An Lin greeted Xia Wanyuan obediently.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at her quietly for two seconds. An Lin graciously allowed Xia Wanyuan to examine her. ¡°Hello,¡± Xia Wanyuan said after a while.

    ¡°Come, let¡¯s eat.¡± The food had already been delivered. An Rao called for Xia Wanyuan to eat together.

    ¡°You guys eat. I¡¯ll find someone.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave. An Rao knew who Xia Wanyuan was going to look for, so she didn¡¯t urge her to stay. Instead, she was busy preparing the food. It was An Lin who stood up to send Xia Wanyuan out.

    An Lin sent Xia Wanyuan to the elevator. ¡°Professor Xia, I¡¯m also a literature major. It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t get into Qing University, but I¡¯ve always looked forward to it. Can I listen to your sses often in the future?¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked in the direction of the elevator, her side profile cold. An Lin felt inexplicably cold.

    ¡°Goodbye, Professor Xia.¡± The elevator arrived and Xia Wanyuan entered. An Lin stood outside and bade Xia Wanyuan farewell respectfully.

    ¡°Sister, I want to learn more from Professor Xia. Do you have her contact information?¡± At the dining table, An Lin carefully spoke to An Rao.

    ¡°I can¡¯t give her contact information casually without her approval.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Lin seemed to have asked casually and did not speak further.

    Not long after Jun Shiling arrived at thepany, Xia Wanyuan arrived just as he was eating

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to eat at An Rao¡¯s house?¡± Jun Shiling stepped forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan over, his eyes smiling. ¡°Why? Are you here to check on your husband?¡±

    Her thoughts were interrupted by Jun Shiling¡¯s words. Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Who¡¯s checking on you?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you here to suddenly check and investigate?¡± After asking Xia Wanyuan to sit at the table, Jun Shiling took a pair of chopsticks and fed her a mouthful of food.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to investigate,¡± Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    ¡°Are you satisfied with the results?¡± Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan a chicken wing.

    ¡°Decent. Keep up the good work.¡± Xia Wanyuan bit the chicken wing and bit the chopsticks without letting go.

    Jun Shiling gently pulled it twice but could not get it out. He smiled helplessly and said, ¡°Let go and eat properly. What are you doing?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan still did not relent and looked at Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Be good and eat properly.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. Only then did Xia Wanyuan let go of her chopsticks with a flushed face.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating with An Rao?¡± Jun Shiling only began to eat himself after Xia Wanyuan finished eating.

    ¡°Her sister is eating there. I don¡¯t want to eat with others. I feel that I don¡¯t really like her.¡± Although this intuition had no reason, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s impression of An Rao¡¯s gentle and quiet sister was not especially good.

 Chapter 764 - Bo Xiaoâ€™s Preference

    <h4>Chapter 764 Bo Xiao¡¯s Preference</h4>

    Jun Shiling was not even very interested in An Rao, let alone her sister, so he did not probe further. He rested with Xia Wanyuan for a while and sent her back to school.

    At the Beijing airport, the colorful ne graduallynded. A group of people were arranged in the airport, waiting for the victorious hero. The leader looked around. ¡°Eh? Where¡¯s Xiao Bo? Why don¡¯t I see him?¡±

    ¡°Aiyo, Old Leader, Bo Xiao took leave. He¡¯s young and hasn¡¯t been home in a long time. He has a little wife at home.¡±

    ¡°Oh, he should, he should. He has done so much this time. He¡¯s young and promising. It¡¯s time to work harder on his marriage.¡± After hearing everyone¡¯s report, the old leaderughed heartily. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Follow me back first.¡±

    It had been nearly half a month since he had seen An Rao. Bo Xiao did not even have time to change his uniform before returning to the apartment.

    Just as she entered, she heard footsteps in the house.

    ¡°Baby, I¡¯m back. Are you surprised?¡± Bo Xiao walked into the living room with a smile. However, the smile on his face disappeared when he saw an unfamiliar person.

    An Lin was stunned when she saw Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao, who was wearing a dark green tailored uniform and a hat, was handsome and tall, making her heart burn for some reason.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Bo Xiao frowned slightly and looked at the surroundings. It was still a familiar decoration. So this person was An Rao¡¯s rtive?

    ¡°Mr. Bo, I¡¯m An Rao¡¯s sister. My name is An Lin.¡± An Lin, who had a simple ponytail and had no makeup on, smiled faintly.

    ¡°Where is she?¡± Bo Xiao was a little unhappy that he came back excitedly but did not see the person he wanted to see.

    ¡°Sister went out in the afternoon. She said she was going to film an advertisement. She said she would be back for dinner tonight,¡± An Lin said as she poured a ss of water for Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work. He took off his hat and entered the kitchen.

    An Lin¡¯s eyes widened when she saw Bo Xiao enter the kitchen. ¡°Mr. Bo, Sister said she woulde back and cook.¡± Seeing that Bo Xiao had already taken out the meat and vegetables from the fridge, An Lin walked in. ¡°Let me wash the vegetables for you.¡±

    The An family lived a rich life, and Father An and Mother An had high expectations for An Lin. She had never entered the kitchen since she was young, and this was the first time.

    ¡°No need. You can go out.¡± Bo Xiao stopped her.

    An Lin stopped in her tracks and hesitantly walked out of the kitchen. She looked back at the handsome Bo Xiao. He had a golden star on his shoulder and his sleeves were rolled up. He was chopping vegetables skillfully.

    An Lin had known about this military rank before. She had never expected that Bo Xiao, who was clearly so young and had a much higher position than Father An, would be able to lower himself and cook in private. This was a scene that had never been seen in the An family, where there was a clear distinction between men and women.

    An Rao returned not long after. When she heard the voice in the kitchen, she was a little surprised. It was not time for Auntie toe today. ¡°Who¡¯s in the kitchen?¡±

    ¡°Sister, it¡¯s Mr. Bo Xiao.¡± Just as An Lin finished speaking, she saw An Rao¡¯s eyes light up.

    Bo Xiao happened to be carrying the food out of the kitchen. When he saw An Rao, his fox-like eyes narrowed.

    An Rao ran towards Bo Xiao. ¡°Wait, I¡¯m still carrying the food. You¡¯re in such a hurry.¡± Bo Xiao smiled helplessly at An Rao.

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao stopped and was a little listless.

    ¡°Come and eat. It¡¯s all your favorite food. Are you hungry?¡± Bo Xiao put down the te of food and pulled her into his arms. He stroked her hair tofort her.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m hungry.¡± An Rao¡¯s unhappiness was resolved by Bo Xiao¡¯sfort. She waved at An Lin. ¡°Come and eat.¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Bo Xiao stopped An Rao.

    Coincidentally, the doorbell rang. Bo Xiao walked over and brought in a pile of takeout.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you make so much food? Why did you order so many takeout?¡± An Rao looked at therge boxes of takeout in Bo Xiao¡¯s hand and was a little confused.

    ¡°Idiot.¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao speechlessly and ced the takeout box on the table before looking at An Lin.

    ¡°In this world, only An Rao can eat the food I make. I¡¯m sorry, just eat these. I ordered quite a lot. You can see what you like and eat it yourself.¡±

    He had never heard An Rao mention anything about having a sister. Presumably, this woman¡¯s rtionship with An Rao was not

    good.

    Furthermore, even his parents had never eaten the food he made. Only An Rao could eat it. He was not a chef who specially cooked for people. He cooked for An Rao because he liked her. What could others count for?

    An Lin was stunned. She nced at An Rao, who was equally stunned, and hurriedly sat down. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing. I can just eat takeout.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s time to eat. What are you waiting for?¡± Bo Xiao gently knocked An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re so stupid all day.¡±

    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this not good?¡± An Rao leaned over and secretly asked beside Bo Xiao¡¯s ear, although An Rao had to admit that the feeling of being favored was too good.

    ¡°Eat your food. I¡¯m only responsible for you. What has others got to do with me?¡± Bo Xiao ced the chopsticks in An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°Try this fish. I specially put more chili in it.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 765 I Miss You, Miss An Rao</h4>

    As An Rao ate, she could not help but turn to look at Bo Xiao.

    It had been more than half a month. In her opinion, Bo Xiao seemed to have be thinner, but he was still as handsome as before.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Bo Xiao knocked An Rao¡¯s head. An Rao suddenly covered her head. ¡°I¡¯ll be stupid if you knock again.¡±

    ¡°So what if you¡¯re stupid.¡± Bo Xiao reached out to stroke An Rao¡¯s hair again. ¡°You¡¯re mine anyway. It¡¯s okay to be a little more stupid.¡±

    ¡°Sister, your rtionship with Mr. Bo is so good.¡± An Lin ate a bunch of food tastelessly. Although the takeout in front of her was mostly the signature dishes from the Hundred vour Hall, she felt that the bunch of home-cooked dishes in front of An Rao was more appetizing.

    ¡°We¡¯re okay.¡± An Rao turned her head and nced at Bo Xiao. His familiar fox-like eyes were crafty, but they inexplicably made her feel at ease.

    ¡°Sister, when are you going to bring Mr. Bo home? Daddy and Mommy will be very happy to see him.¡± An Lin put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and smiled politely at Bo Xiao.

    Hearing An Lin mention her parents, An Rao¡¯s expression froze. Bo Xiao¡¯s status was very high, but with her understanding of Father An and Mother An, they might not ept Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao acutely noticed the change in An Rao¡¯s expression and ced a pair of chopsticks in her bowl. ¡°Eat quickly. Why are you thinking so much? Don¡¯t you have me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao smiled at Bo Xiao. That¡¯s right. Since Bo Xiao was around, he would settle things.

    After the meal, the sky was already dark.

    ¡°When are you going back?¡± An Rao apanied Bo Xiao in the kitchen to wash the dishes. She nced at An Lin, who was reading in the living room, and poked Bo Xiao¡¯s arm.

    ¡°An Rao, be a person.¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao angrily. ¡°I didn¡¯t even attend the celebratory banquet and came to make dinner for you. Now that the meal is over, you want to chase me away? Does this make sense?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t there someone else around? Won¡¯t it affect her a little?¡± An Rao actually could not bear to part with Bo Xiao, but she felt that it would not be good for An Lin to be here.

    ¡°Who cares? Don¡¯t look at how gentle and weak the little girl is. Perhaps she knows more than you in private, a stupid woman who doesn¡¯t know how to breathe when kissing.¡± Bo Xiao washed the bowl and ced it back in the cab, then raised an eyebrow at An Rao.

    ¡°What are you saying?¡± An Rao pinched Bo Xiao angrily.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll sleep here tonight. Nothing you say will work,¡± Bo Xiao said as he hugged An Rao¡¯s waist and brought her to the bedroom.

    ¡°Um, An Lin, sleep early.¡± Sensing An Lin¡¯s surprised gaze, An Rao looked a little embarrassed.

    ¡°Okay, Sister.¡± An Lin nodded obediently and watched Bo Xiao pull An Rao into the bedroom.

    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re really¡­¡± An Rao¡¯s face flushed red when Bo Xiao pulled her into the house.

    ¡°You¡¯re my girlfriend now and my wife in the future. Is there a problem with me sleeping with my wife?¡± Bo Xiaoy on the bed with An Rao in his arms, his deep gazending on her face.

    ¡°Alright, whatever you say is right.¡± An Rao did not want to admit that she was tempted by Bo Xiao¡¯s beauty. This man looked so handsome in his military uniform.

    ¡°Kiss me. Come.¡± Bo Xiao supported himself beside An Rao and blinked at her.

    ¡°No.¡± An Rao felt that she was about to die of heat.

    ¡°Kiss.¡± Bo Xiao did not relent. Seeing An Rao¡¯s embarrassed expression, he used hisst trump card.

    ¡°I missed you.

    The sunrise in Continent F was very beautiful, and the war-torn city was very turbulent. The training was very difficult, and it was very dangerous to enter the enemy camp.

    However, no matter where I am or how the situation is, I will always miss you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Dog man. An Rao gritted her teeth. He clearly knew that she could not stand it the most when he confessed to her in a formal suit, but he still insisted on teasing her like this.

    ¡°So, my dear Miss An Rao, can you reward me with a kiss?¡± Bo Xiao smiled at An Rao and closed his eyes, as if waiting for something.

    An Rao hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s neck. ¡°I missed you too, Mr. Bo Xiao.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, warmth could be felt on Bo Xiao¡¯s lips. He smiled and tilted his head slightly.

 Chapter 766 - Bo Xiao Flames the White Lotus

    <h4>Chapter 766 Bo Xiao mes the White Lotus</h4>

    By the time Bo Xiao and An Rao finished tossing and turning and he had coaxed An Rao to sleep, it was almost midnight.

    Bo Xiao had slept on the ne and was now very energetic. After lying with An Rao for a while, he wanted to go out and get a ss of water.

    He entered the living room and picked up the kettle when he acutely sensed a figure on the balcony.

    Bo Xiao was instantly on guard. He narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment, then put down his guard. He picked up a ss of water and drank as he walked out.

    ¡°It¡¯s sote, why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡± Bo Xiao tidied his clothes and walked to the balcony.

    ¡°Mr. Bo, you¡¯re not asleep yet?¡± An Lin turned around.

    It was an eighteen-year-old pure youngdy. She was not wearing any makeup, and the ponytail that she had tied up high in the day was lowered. Her ck hair fell on her shoulders, revealing a section of her fair corbone.

    ¡°I came to drink some water.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and waved the cup in his hand.

    ¡°Oh, Mr. Bo, sleep early. It¡¯ste.¡± An Lin was wearing a high school uniform white shirt and shorts from the same school for her bottoms.

    However, her already developed and exquisite figure, coupled with her pure school uniform, mixed with a different kind of beauty, looked like a novel¡¯s demoness under the interweaving lights of the city.

    ¡°It¡¯s sote, why aren¡¯t you sleeping? Do you miss your parents?¡± Bo Xiao deliberately loosened his cor and narrowed his fox-like eyes with a certain charm.

    An Lin was a little stunned. ¡°I¡¯ve never left my parents for so long.¡±

    ¡°Oh, pitiful.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and his eyes glistened. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful, but you don¡¯t have anyone to rely on in Beijing. Are your parents relieved?¡±.

    After Bo Xiao finished speaking, he did not speak further. The balcony fell silent for a moment. An Lin looked at the handsome Bo Xiao and flipped the long hair by her ear.

    ¡°Mr. Bo, I¡¯m not familiar with Beijing. If there are any questions in the future, can I ask you?¡±

    ¡°This An Rao¡¯s sister?¡± Bo Xiao ced the cup on the table. When the cup touched the table, it made a crisp sound that was especially ear-piercing in the night.

    ¡°My name is An Lin.¡± An Lin looked at Bo Xiao timidly. A gust of autumn wind blew past, and she could not help but tremble, making her look especially moving.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care what your name is. Just ask your sister if you don¡¯t know anything. Why are you asking me? I only care about your sister.¡± Bo Xiao nced at An Lin from head to toe. ¡°Also, I¡¯ve seen many tricks like yours. On ount that you¡¯re her sister, I¡¯ll let it go this time. If there¡¯s a next time, you can try.¡± With that, the smile that had confused An Lin disappeared from Bo Xiao¡¯s face. He exuded a coldness that repelled people thousands of miles away. ¡°You misunderstood Mr. Bo.¡± An Lin widened her eyes and looked like she was about to cry.

    ¡°You¡¯re on your own.¡± Bo Xiao could not be bothered to argue with her anymore and turned to leave. However, he stopped halfway and An Lin¡¯s eyes lit up again.

    Bo Xiao turned around. ¡°To exin, I was lying when I said that you were beautiful just now. Actually, you look like a ghost here in a white shirt. You¡¯re not good-looking either. Why can¡¯t you learn anything good at such a young age? Why are you learning from others to seduce men?¡±

    Bo Xiao had never been a kind person. He could tell that although An Rao was not close to An Lin, she had bought all sorts of food and drinks for her and had done what needed to be done.

    In the end, this so-called sister was ying some pure seduction with him in the middle of the night. She had really crossed his bottom line.

    With that, Bo Xiao leftpletely, ignoring An Lin¡¯s feelings.

    When he returned to the bedroom, An Rao was sleeping soundly. She even subconsciously leaned to the side, as if she was looking for Bo Xiao¡¯s position.

    Bo Xiao patted her angrily. ¡°You¡¯re so stupid.¡± However, he still handed his arm to An Rao to hug.

    In a daze, she felt a little bump. An Rao opened her eyes and saw Bo Xiao hugging her in the elevator.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± An Rao was shocked and looked at the clothes on her. Fortunately, Bo Xiao still had some humanity and wrapped a coat around her pajamas.

    ¡°Sleep in my house. Ask someone to sell your house tomorrow. How much did you buy it for? I¡¯ll pay you back. The ce where others lived is smelly. I don¡¯t live there.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Although An Rao was magnanimous, she had read countless novels after all. She thought for a long time and asked identally, ¡°Did my white lotus[1] sister seduce you?¡±

    [1] ¡®White lotus¡¯ here refers to a slut who seduces men

 Chapter 767 - Thank You for Your Biasness

    <h4>Chapter 767 Thank You for Your Biasness</h4>

    Bo Xiao ced An Rao in the car and buckled her seatbelt. Only then did he look at her with a faint smile. ¡°It looks like you still have some intelligence.¡±

    ¡°...How did she seduce you? Tell me.¡± An Rao¡¯s rtionship with An Lin was very average. She did not expect An Lin to be so restless after just arriving in Beijing.

    An Rao did not expect that she would one day encounter the scene in the novel where the sister seduced her brother-inw. Her eyes burned with gossip. Bo Xiao was about tough from the gossip-look in An Rao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Someone snatched your man. It looks like you¡¯re quite excited?¡±

    ¡°You won¡¯t be snatched away by her,¡± An Rao said very naturally. It was only when she finished her sentence that she reacted.

    In fact, growing up in an environment like the An family, An Rao was a person whocked love and felt very insecure. Hence, when she grew up, she always used a strong personality to hide her vulnerability.

    Even she did not expect herself to trust Bo Xiao to this extent. When she heard that someone had seduced Bo Xiao, her first reaction was not anger or fear, but gossip. It was as if she subconsciously thought that Bo Xiao would definitely settle these matters.

    An Rao pulled her windbreaker tighter and sat on the chair without speaking.

    Bo Xiao started the car and patted An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, other than you, no one can seduce me.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± It was rare for An Rao to not retort Bo Xiao. She leaned against the window and quietly looked at the night sky outside. The car fell silent for a moment, and only the sound of the night breeze asionally blowing into the car could be heard.

    ¡°Is this your house?¡± The car arrived at a high-end district in the city center not long after.

    ¡°Mm, I bought it myself. I used to live here myself, but I renovated it afterwards.¡± Bo Xiao stopped the car and pulled An Rao¡¯s hand upstairs.

    The door was unlocked. Bo Xiao reached out and pressed the switch for the appliances in the house. An Rao looked at the decorations in the house and her eyes widened slightly. Unexpectedly, the white plush carpet shone with a warm light under the light. The bright-colored renovation style was delightful at a nce. The huge green nts hid a wall of photos that had photos of all her activities since she debuted.

    ¡°You should like it, right? I got someone to renovate ording to your preferences.¡± Bo Xiao was on business trips all year round and did not live much at home.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± An Rao raised her head proudly, but the smile on her face was already as bright as the sun.

    ¡°It¡¯s sote.¡± Bo Xiao raised his wrist to look. It was already past two in the morning. ¡°Go to sleep. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Lying in Bo Xiao¡¯s warm arms, An Rao felt that the long-term emptiness in her heart had felt something real. ¡°Bo Xiao.¡±

    ¡°Call me Hubby.¡± Bo Xiao could not sleep either and quietly stroked An Rao¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± An Raoughed.

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just wanted to thank you.¡± An Rao leaned closer to Bo Xiao and hugged him tightly. ¡°Thank you forpensating me with everything I once desired.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°Just speak. Why are you hugging me so tightly? Don¡¯t you want to sleep anymore?¡± Even so, Bo Xiao still reached out and hugged An Rao.

    SO

    ¡°Hooligan, can you think of something else?¡± An Rao was originally very touched, but she was amused by Bo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°You¡¯re a living person who¡¯s sticking to me. What else do you think I can think of?¡± He was indeed not interested in others seducing him, but An Rao was different. Bo Xiao pulled An Rao into his arms helplessly. ¡°Sleep. Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Goodnight.¡± The light gradually dimmed, sending them to a beautiful dreand.

    At the same time, the An family in the south was woken up by a phone call.

    Mother An opened her eyes immediately as if she was not sleepy at all. She took the phone and saw that it was a call from An Lin. The An family had always had strict rules and rarely called in the middle of the night. Mother An subconsciously frowned. ¡°Why did you call sote?¡±

    ¡°Mom, Sister¡¯s house is too big. I¡¯m so afraid of living alone.¡± An Lin¡¯s aggrieved voice came from the phone.

    Although An Lin was an adopted daughter, she had almost all of Father An and Mother An¡¯s hopes on her. Ever since she was adopted, she had been taking care of her very carefully and had never left her side. Now that she heard An Lin¡¯s whimper, Mother An¡¯s heart clenched.

    ¡°Where¡¯s your sister? Why didn¡¯t you let her apany you?¡±

    ¡°Sister was just carried out of the house by her boyfriend. I don¡¯t know where she is now.¡± As usual, An Lin obediently reported An Rao¡¯s whereabouts to Mother An.

    Mother An looked at the time. It was three in the morning and she was carried out by a man??

    Mother An, who had always had a traditional mindset, was so angry that her blood pressure increased. ¡°She¡¯s tarnishing the reputation of the family!!!¡±

 Chapter 768 - Drink Coffee? Courting Death

    <h4>Chapter 768 Drink Coffee? Courting Death</h4>

    Father An was woken up by Mother An¡¯s voice. ¡°Why are you so noisy in the middle of the night?¡±

    Facing Father An, who had absolute authority in the family, Mother An suppressed the anger in her heart and calmed her husband down. Then, she called An Lin. ¡°I¡¯ll call your sister now and ask her toe back and apany you.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need, Mom. It¡¯ste at night. What if I disturb Sister?¡±

    When An Lin said this, all sorts of scenes of An Rao fooling around appeared in Mother An¡¯s mind. Thinking that she might be hanging out with men every day, Mother An¡¯s blood pressure instantly increased.

    However, what made her even angrier was that she could not call An Rao no matter how hard she tried. After trying four to five times, she simply sent more than ten WeChat messages to An Rao.

    On the other hand, An Rao was finally woken up. She looked at Bo Xiao holding her phone with sleepy eyes. ¡°Who called me?¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at the insults Mother An threw at her and frowned. ¡°Are you on good terms with your parents?¡±.

    ¡°Not very good. What happened?¡± At the mention of Father An and Mother An, An Rao¡¯s expression darkened.

    ¡°I want to say that your mother is really a fool.¡± Bo Xiao had always had a poisonous tongue, so he was furious from An Rao¡¯s mother¡¯s WeChat messages.

    ¡°She scolded me again?¡± An Rao was already used to Mother An¡¯s education method. She did not know why she was so strict to her biological self and cared so much for An Lin.

    Bo Xiao swiped upwards. This was not the first time Mother An had scolded An Rao.

    Bo Xiao, who did not like An Rao to wear very sexy clothes, had a headache from Mother An¡¯s words.

    ¡°In the future, you can wear whatever you want and do whatever you want. Why should you care about others?¡±.

    ¡°Got it. You¡¯re the best.¡± An Rao snuggled into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.

    Bo Xiao switched off An Rao¡¯s phone. ¡°Sleep, sleep. Your strange parents areparable to my father.¡±

    In An Rao¡¯s apartment, An Lin searched Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo little by little, looking at his brazen preference. There was a depth in his eyes that did not match his age.

    ¡°Why is your life so good? You were born into a noble family and are so beautiful. Even the boyfriend you met after you were born was so outstanding.¡±

    An Lin gently swiped the screen with her fingers. Her eyes were filled with anger, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

    So what if you¡¯re their biological daughter? Since I can take away your parents, your friends, and your childhood lover, you have no right to have this outstanding man.

    The night surged over and swallowed the darkness together, hiding the conflicts in the darkness.

    But dawn would eventuallye, and the light would cast the gentleness of the autumn sun into the world.

    ¡°Bye, you have to study properly.¡± He had been separated from Xia Wanyuan for a while. Ever since Xia Wanyuan returned, Xiao Bao had been especially clingy. When it was time to go to school, he still had to pester Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Goodbye, Mommy. You must miss me, I¡¯ll miss you too.¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg and looked up, his big eyes filled with attachment.

    ¡°Good boy, go. You¡¯re going to bete,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and kissed Xiao Bao. Only then did Xiao Bao jump into the car in satisfaction. He leaned against the window and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes had already reached the end stage. Whenever Xia Wanyuan had time, she would basically run to the production team. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Jun Shiling standing rooted to the ground. ¡°Someone will coax my son when he goes to school, but no one will coax me when I go to work.¡± Jun Shiling was unhappy.

    ¡°¡­ He¡¯s three years old. Are you three years old too?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not understand why Jun Shiling always liked topete with Xiao Bao for favor.

    ¡°Quick, I¡¯m waiting to go to work.¡± Jun Shiling tapped his right cheek.

    ¡°¡­ Then just wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Uncle Wang, who was smiling beside her, and felt a little embarrassed. It would be fine if it was just the two of them, but with so many people present, Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was getting more and more overboard.

    With that, Xia Wanyuan got into the car and drove out of the manor. Jun Shiling stood rooted to the ground for a while and nced at the servants who were holding in theirughter. Everyone hurriedly dispersed.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t know much about cars. She would try whichever one looked good. Furthermore, there were nearly a hundred cars in the garage of the manor. Sometimes, Xia Wanyuan would just casually drive them and never thought of checking the price of the cars.

    However, in the eyes of the production team staff, Xia Wanyuan had already changed four global limited edition sports cars in just a month. One of them had never appeared on the market before, and almost every one of them was worth more than ten million dors.

    A huge explosion sounded outside the production team. The staff looked at it enviously.

    ¡°How rich.¡±

    ¡°How many cars has she changed? I haven¡¯t seen her donate anything to the poor mountains even though she¡¯s so rich.¡±

    ¡°Shh, look at Chen Xiaoguo. Don¡¯t provoke Xia Wanyuan. That little girl is amazing.¡±

    When he said this, everyone around him fell silent. Chen Xiaoguo had alsoe to the production team today, but they could not tell what she looked like. She was too miserable.

    Xia Wanyuan entered the production team and greeted familiar people, ignoring the judgemental gazes.

    ¡°Director, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m injured, so I won¡¯t be acting anymore. I don¡¯t have many scenes. Please find someone to rece me.¡± Beside Wang Wei, Chen Xiaoguo, who was wrapped in a pile of bandages, was carefully talking to the director.

    ¡°Alright, then rest well.¡± Director Wang Wei looked regretful, but he was still quite happy. After all, he did things for perfection. Chen Xiaoguo¡¯s acting skills were not good, and he only let her in because of the situation.

    Now that Chen Xiaoguo was going to quit, he could finally find an actress he was satisfied with. He was extremely happy. Chen Xiaoguo wanted to say something more, but when she saw Xia Wanyuan approaching from afar, her pupils constricted. Like a frightened bird, she avoided Xia Wanyuan and left, as if she was a fierce beast.

    When the others saw this scene, they were even more afraid of Xia Wanyuan. Some of the gossip-mongers in the production team quietly shut their mouths and did not dare to criticize her anymore. Xia Wanyuan was also happy to be idle. After filming with Director Wang Wei, she stayed under the tree and read.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, the film studioplex is messy. We¡¯ve arranged a ce for you to rest. You should go to the hotel and rest.¡± A group of people surrounded the Xuan Li in suits.

    Xuan Li was unmoved. Instead, he pointed into the distance. ¡°Is that Xia Wanyuan? The woman Xuan Sheng likes?¡±

    ¡°Er.¡± Everyone finally understood what this young master from Glory World Corporation hade for. ¡°That¡¯s Xia Wanyuan. As for whether Young Master Xuan likes her or not, I¡¯m not sure.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s not bad looking.¡± Even from afar, he could feel Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elegant temperament. Xuan Li smiled mysteriously, took out a check, and filled in an astronomical number that no one around could understand.

    Xuan Li wrapped the coffee beside him in an expensive check and handed it to his subordinate. ¡°Give this to Miss Xia and ask her if she has time to drink a cup of coffee with me.¡±

 Chapter 769 - Xuan Sheng: I Have to Take Care of Myself

    <h4>Chapter 769 Xuan Sheng: I Have to Take Care of Myself</h4>

    The subordinate had already taken a step out when Xuan Li stopped him. ¡°Give it to me. I¡¯ll go over myself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had long realized when the group of people looked at her, but books were more attractive to her.

    ¡°Hello, Professor Xia. My name is Xuan Li, the new general manager of Glory World Corporation. Miss Xia, if you don¡¯t mind, would you be willing to drink coffee with me?¡±

    A ck figure stood in front of her, blocking the light from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reading.

    Xia Wanyuan could only look up. Xuan Li? The general manager of Glory World Corporation, so he was Xuan Sheng¡¯s brother?

    However, seeing this average-looking man in front of her, Xia Wanyuan really did not believe that he had anything to do with Xuan Sheng

    When Xia Wanyuan lowered her head, one could already tell that she was an extremely beautiful woman. When she looked up and he met her cold eyes, Xuan Li¡¯s eyes flickered.

    No wonder she could make Xuan Sheng ignore the pressure of the corporation. Such a woman indeed had some capabilities.

    ¡°Move.¡± Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed the scrutiny in Xuan Li¡¯s eyes. This gaze made her very ufortable.

    ¡°Miss Xia, would you like a cup of coffee?¡± Xuan Li handed her the coffee wrapped in the cheque. ¡°Actually, I wanted to discuss with you if you could cooperate with my projects. Now, Glory World Corporation basically supports me. After all¡­¡±

    ¡°Do you know why I worked with Xuan Sheng?¡± Before Xuan Li could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan interrupted him and said, ¡°Because I look at people¡¯s face and don¡¯t work with ugly people.¡±

    Xuan Li had thought of many responses from Xia Wanyuan, but he had never thought of this. He did look average, especially in front of Xia Wanyuan, who seemed to be carved by God himself.

    Even though he was rich and powerful, his pride as a man had indeed suffered a blow when a woman like Xia Wanyuan pointed out his appearance in public.

    The person following behind him heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°How dare you? Do you know who this is?¡±

    son

    Xia Wanyuan quietly nced at the person who had just shouted. It had been a long time since she had heard someone say the words ¡°how dare you¡± to her.

    Everyone had originally wanted to reprimand Xia Wanyuan and speak up for Xuan Li, but they did not expect to meet Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes. Everyone¡¯s hearts were extremely guilty. They looked at each other and did not dare to go forward.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She took the book and left the ce.

    Only then did the others dare to approach Xuan Li. ¡°CEO Xuan, she¡¯s just a little girl. Don¡¯t lower yourself to her level.¡±

    ¡°A little girl frightened you so much that you don¡¯t dare to go forward?¡± Xuan Li did not give his subordinates any face. Everyone looked at each other.

    Not long after, Xuan Sheng heard that Xuan Li had deliberately gone to the film studioplex to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Does this dog really think he¡¯s the crown prince of Glory World Corporation?¡± Xuan Sheng was furious after hearing the report. He threw all the bait into the fish tank and stood up to settle the score with Xuan Li.

    ¡°Hey, Young Master, wait for a while. Miss Xia didn¡¯t give Xuan Li any face. I¡¯ll mimic Miss Xia and tell you what she said.¡± The assistant was afraid that Xuan Sheng and Xuan Li would fight.

    ¡°What did he say?¡± Hearing his assistant¡¯s words, Xuan Sheng stopped in his tracks.

    Hence, the assistant repeated what Xia Wanyuan had said to Xuan Sheng in detail.

    When the assistant finished imitating and turned around, the smile on Xuan Sheng¡¯s face could not be stopped.

    ¡°Young Master?¡± The assistant called out tentatively. Xuan Sheng was still smiling and ignored the assistant. ¡°Do you think that little canary was praising me for looking good?¡± Xuan Sheng sat back on the sofa and drank a mouthful of tea. There was a fragrance on his lips. ¡°¡­¡± The assistant thought that Miss Xia might be trying to anger Xuan Li, but in order to cater to Xuan Sheng, the assistant nodded. ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re good-looking to begin with.¡±

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Aren¡¯t you going to buy some facial masks for me?¡± After happily drinking a cup of tea, Xuan Sheng turned around and saw that his assistant was still dazed at the side.

    ¡°Huh? Face mask?¡± The assistant felt that his hearing might be wrong.

    ¡°Go quickly. Buy the most expensive one to maintain my looks.¡± Xuan Sheng thought that he could put one after dinner. He had to take care of it as soon as possible.

    Assistant: Haha, my boss is probably crazy.

    <h4>Chapter 770 You Look Good even when You turn Old</h4>

    However, the boss¡¯s orders could not be disobeyed. In the end, the assistant still bought all sorts of facial masks for Xuan Sheng. Seeing Xuan Sheng working and putting on a facial mask, the assistant watched with mixed feelings.

    It was clearly a very funny scene, but the assistant felt inexplicably sad.

    Actually, their boss really liked Miss Xia.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan had done it to anger Xuan Li. After all, people like Xuan Li had both money and power. The only thing that could break his pride was the weakest part of him. To Xuan Li, he was inferior to Xuan Sheng in terms of appearance.

    However, this matter quickly reached Jun Shiling¡¯s ears.

    Hence, when she returned to the manor that night, Xia Wanyuan was called by Jun Shiling to sit beside him the moment she entered.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan and made her face him.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Jun Shiling was trying to

    do.

    ¡°Am I not good-looking?¡± Jun Shiling had lived for 25 years, and this was the first time hepared his appearance to someone.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was making a scene again because of her words in the afternoon.

    Xia Wanyuan looked around seriously and nodded. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re the most handsome one.¡±

    She was sincere. When she first arrived in the modern world, the first impression Jun Shiling gave her was that his aura was too strong. Her second impression was that this man was really good-looking.

    Even though she was born in the Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s royal family, which produced handsome men and beautiful women, she had to admit that Jun Shiling was the most good-looking man she had ever seen. Furthermore, his good looks was sharp and cold, making one¡¯s heart throb involuntarily.

    ¡°Really?¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly. ¡°So Your Highness, did you choose me based on my appearance?¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. Come on, he even called me Your Highness. How jealous.

    ¡°You look good. You¡¯re right.¡± As Xia Wanyuan had expected, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened when she said this.

    Xia Wanyuan suppressed herughter. ¡°I¡¯m going to wash my hands. I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    Jun Shiling watched as Xia Wanyuan went to the bathroom. Why was this not what I had expected? ording to the normal script, shouldn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan kiss, hug, and coax me?

    During dinner that night, Xiao Bao felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was strange. He looked at Jun Shiling curiously. ¡°Daddy, are you unhappy? Who made you unhappy? I¡¯ll beat him up.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s chopsticks stopped for a moment. ¡°Eat your food.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, Mommy, I want to eat that. Feed me.¡± Not receiving his father¡¯s praise, Xiao Bao turned to seek Xia Wanyuan¡¯sfort.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan feed Xiao Bao gently, the mother and son were harmonious andpletely ignored him, Jun Shiling felt even more aggrieved.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling went to the study to work and did note out untilte.

    In the study, Jun Shiling waited for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan did note to look for him. He sighed in his heart and looked at the time.

    Forget it. Xia Wanyuan was not used to sleeping alone. I should go back to my room.

    At that moment, the door opened. Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a white nightgown, appeared at the door like a lotus.

    Jun Shiling took the document by the side and said without looking up, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I still have a lot of work here.¡±

    However, in fact, Jun Shiling did not take in a single word.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and ced a painting in front of Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling opened it and saw that the painting was a little strange.

    The scene was filled with the scenes of the four seasons. The nts had just sprouted, the lotus leaves broke the water, the chrysanthemums were blooming, and the snowkes fluttered. Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting skills were high enough, and she forcefully melted the disharmony into a harmonious scene.

    The most eye-catching were still the two figures by the river. Because they were from the side, one could not see their exact expressions. They could only see the white hair and the two leaning against each other.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip tightened. He knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts the best, and this painting was Xia Wanyuan clearly telling him,

    The four seasons changed and time changed. Even if the years passed, she would still be by his side.

    ¡°You¡¯re good-looking, but you won¡¯t be as good-looking as you are now when you¡¯re old. In my heart, you¡¯ll still be the same. After all, by that time, I¡¯ll already be an olddy. I won¡¯t be good-looking anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm and winked at him.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling suppressed the joy in his heart and pointed out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mistake.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°You won¡¯t look bad even when you¡¯re old. You¡¯re the best,¡± Jun Shiling said very seriously.

    Some people were beautiful in their bones. Time passed quickly, and this beauty quickly withered.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, she had the most transparent soul. This beauty crossed time and spanned the mulberry fields. Not only would the changes of time not cause her to lose anything, but it would also add weight to her.

    ¡°You¡¯re the only one who knows how to speak.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but smile lightly when she heard Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

 Chapter 771 - The Arrival of a Powerful Enemy

    <h4>Chapter 771 The Arrival of a Powerful Enemy</h4>

    The beauty¡¯s eyes glistened under the light and her smile was light. Jun Shiling loved Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shy and unguarded smile.

    Sensing the sudden heat in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan red at him coquettishly. ¡°I¡¯m going to the Go Association tomorrow morning.¡±

    ¡°I have a way to postpone the enrolment ceremony.¡± Something that could be resolved with a call to their leader made Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darken.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not panic at all. She reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°Carry me to bed. I¡¯m so tired. I¡¯m so tired from filming today.¡±

    ¡°That again.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°Other than acting coquettishly and pitifully, what else do you know?¡±

    Although he said that, Jun Shiling still stepped forward and picked her up. Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder smugly and rubbed against him.

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan andy her on the bed. It was alreadyte at night. Seeing the fatigue in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling did not n to fool around with her.

    ¡°Sleep.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back.

    Xia Wanyuan automatically found afortable position in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me what I would do other than act coquettishly and act pitiful?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head slightly, only able to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s straight nose.

    ¡°Other than acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was already clearly sleepy. ¡°I¡¯ll still love you. I¡¯ll always love you.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she yawned and closed her eyes. After filming the whole day and a night of painting, she was really sleepy.

    Meanwhile, Jun Shiling, who was agitated by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, could not sleep.

    The joy in his heart seemed to have gathered into a huge flood. It roared from his heart and flowed through his entire body.

    He had many things to say to Xia Wanyuan, but her breathing had gradually calmed down. Jun Shiling hugged her and was excited for the entire night.

    When she woke up the next morning and saw the bloodshot eyes of Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was still a little puzzled. ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep well?¡±.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling got up from the bed, the fatigue on his face gone. ¡°Can I trouble this little princess to choose an appropriate time to confess to me in the future? I¡¯ll easily suffer from sleep deprivation if you do this.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was momentarily speechless. She did not know if she should insult him for calling her little princess or ask him why he was so easily teased.

    <b>¡ª</b>

    After breakfast, Xia Wanyuan drove to the Go Association herself.

    Thest time she came here, it was raining heavily. She had not even taken a sip of water before she was chased out.

    This time, it was blue sky and white clouds with red gs fluttering.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s victory had given the leaders of the association a lot of face. Today, when Xia Wanyuan came to report, the Bureau had specially organized a warm wee ceremony.

    ¡°Wee our champion of the Master Competition to the team!¡± The leader smiled like a Buddha. The person holding the flowers shook hands with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was escorted into the courtyard. Most of the team members were older than Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s valiant methods in the masterpetition convinced everyone.

    ¡°Wanyuan.¡± The leader sat beside Xia Wanyuan with a smile. ¡°Do you have any other requests? We¡¯ll do our best to satisfy

    you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked around. ¡°Has that foreign coach left?¡±

    ¡°That person has already been fired by us. We¡¯ve also investigated the situation of the Go team. That Jack doesn¡¯t care about his position and even took the opportunity to suppress his teammates. He¡¯s not suitable for this position anymore.¡±

    ¡°Actually, you have to practice your Go skills well.¡± When Xia Wanyuan said this, everyone listened to her impart her experience seriously. ¡°Other than continuous training, theoretical knowledge is also very important.¡±

    The moment this was said, the team members nodded. They were about to listen to Xia Wanyuan continue, but she stopped.

    The leaders were all smart people. They quickly reacted when they heard this.

    Theoretical knowledge? The former coach, Elder Liu, who had been dismissed, was famous for his rich theoretical knowledge.

    ¡°Speaking of theoretical knowledge, Elder Liu¡¯s teaching is still not bad. We¡¯ve long considered asking him toe back and lead the team again,¡± the leader said as he observed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression. Seeing Xia Wanyuan smile, he knew what to do. The following conversation was very official. The purpose of today¡¯s visit was already achieved. Xia Wanyuan gave an excuse of having a ss and left, after greeting everyone.

    At the same time, outside the Beijing airport, it was already surrounded by reporters and fans of all walks of life. shing lights kept lighting up, and everyone looked towards the exit in unison.

    After some time, a group of foreign bodyguards finally appeared.

    ¡°Coming,ing!¡± The reporter standing in front suddenly shouted. Everyone immediately carried their cameras and squeezed forward.

    An old man with a head of silver hair gradually appeared in front of everyone with the help of an extremely beautiful woman.

    ¡°Master Danny! Miss Li Na! Wee to China!¡±

 Chapter 772 - Sister Wanyuan, Iâ€™m Here

    <h4>Chapter 772 Sister Wanyuan, I¡¯m Here</h4>

    There were too many reporters and art lovers who hade to the airport because of their fame. Fortunately, Master Danny and the rest were prepared early. Almost twenty bodyguards surrounded Master Danny and Li Na tightly.

    However, although they could block the crowd and microphones, they could not stop the reporters from asking loudly.

    ¡°Master Danny, why did youe to China again after thirty years?¡±

    ¡°Master Danny, do you have any other activities in China other than cultural exchange?¡±

    However, no matter what the reporters asked, this white-haired old man remained silent. Instead, Li Na, who had the eyes of an Oriental woman beside him, looked at therge crowd with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. However, the etiquette of long-term training still allowed her to maintain her dignified expression.

    Finally, they walked out of the airport. Master Danny sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window. He shook his head. ¡°China developed too quickly. When I came here thirty years ago, this ce was filled with mountains.¡±

    ¡°Yes, their economy has developed better over the years,¡± Li Na echoed and handed the thermos to Master Danny. ¡°Teacher, have a drink of water.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that your mother wasing to China too? Why didn¡¯t I see her?¡±

    Master Danny hade to China thirty years ago when he was still an unknown brat. It had been so many years and he had always wanted to visit again. Coincidentally, Li Na¡¯s mother was Chinese. When they were chatting, she mentioned that she wanted to return to China to congratte her old friend.

    Master Danny had already retired and had nothing to do. On a whim, he brought his new disciple, Li Na, to China.

    Li Na looked at Master Danny¡¯s interested expression and felt depressed. Thest ce she wanted to go was China, and they were even hosted by the Qing University. It was said that the Qing University was where Xia Wanyuan taught. She was a little afraid of being exposed for swapping paintings with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I heard that Qing University is the highest institution in China. Rest today. Come with me to Qing University tomorrow.¡± Master Danny flipped through the tourist booklet beside him and thought to himself, I haven¡¯t been in China for so many years. I must take a good look this time.

    ¡°Okay, no problem.¡± Li Na nodded obediently.

    Not long after their nended, a private ne from Americanded at the Beijing airport. A graceful and elegantdy alighted from the ne.

    ¡°Hello, Madam Lin. I¡¯m Wei Zimu. Wee to Beijing. The Wei family has already arranged a residence for you. Please follow me.¡± The man with gentle facial features stood against the light with a warm smile that made one involuntarily feel close to him.

    At the exit, a group of people from the Wei family stood by the side and sized up this woman from the Blue family, who was said to have gone out of the Wei family and married into America.

    ¡°Is the olddy okay?¡± Lin Man nced at this man who called himself Wei Zimu and thought that the olddy of the Wei family was really as amazing as ever. The junior she had brought out looked young and promising.

    ¡°Sorry for making you worried, Madam Lin. The olddy is in good health.¡± The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up as he brought Lin Man into the car.

    He originally wanted to send Lin Man to her residence, but halfway through the car, Yu Qian suddenly received a call and looked at Lin Man apologetically.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Madam Lin. I have something on at thest minute.¡± He pointed at the butler sitting in the front passenger seat. ¡°This is the head butler of the Wei family. He¡¯ll bring you to settle down first. I¡¯ll rush overter.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Lin Man happened to want to look around this city that she had been separated from for more than twenty years.

    Yu Qian got out of the car and ced the phone that had never lit up in his pocket. He watched Lin Man¡¯s car leave with a gentle smile on his face, then turned around and walked towards an alley in the distance.

    It was an autumn afternoon. The sunlight gently passed through theyers of leaves and leaked mottled points of light on the ground. Under a hundred-year-old sycamore tree, a few people were gathered around a chess table.

    ¡°Youngdy, your chess skills are really amazing. I have no choice.¡± An old man in the crowdughed heartily.

    ¡°Old Master, you can think about it again.¡± The clear voice and the rustling of the afternoon leaves were especially pleasant to listen to. It was Xia Wanyuan, who hade out of the Go Association and identally entered the chess game in the alley.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect this. The youngdy is really amazing.¡± The old master looked at it for a long time but still had no clue.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, let me try.¡±

 Chapter 773 - Yu Qian

    <h4>Chapter 773 Yu Qian</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. The gentle man stood under the shadows of the trees. The mottled sunlight danced on his face, and the corners of his eyes were dyed with the warmth of the sunlight.

    The elders surrounding him also noticed this person who had suddenly appeared and could not help but feel close to him.

    ¡°Young man, you know how to y chess too?¡± The old man sized up this man, who looked about the same age as Xia Wanyuan, in surprise. ¡°Young people nowadays are really amazing. Come, young man, sit over here. You guys y, I¡¯ll watch.¡±

    Yu Qian sat over, picked up the ck piece, and ced it on the chessboard. The surrounding elders were shocked.

    This young man probably did not know how to y chess. If he yed this move, he would lose more than half of his strength.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Yu Qian in surprise and followed calmly.

    Unexpectedly, Yu Qian, who they had thought did not know how to y chess at all, had actually gone back and forth with Xia Wanyuan. Furthermore, the way he yed chess was extremely dangerous. They asked themselves honestly that if they were him, they would definitely not choose such a method.

    ¡°You win. Sister Wanyuan, you¡¯re indeed the champion. Amazing.¡± After a while, Yu Qian threw away the excess chess pieces in his hand and stood up.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and greeted the elders before turning to leave.

    Yu Qian chased after her. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, I brought you delicious food.¡±

    ¡°Yu Qian.¡± Xia Wanyuan directly pointed out his identity.

    Yu Qian stopped in his tracks and smiled. ¡°How can you recognize me?¡±

    He felt that he was perfect this time. After all, the children of the Wei family felt that he was gentle and warm and were willing to get close to him.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Wei Zimu?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°He has something to do, so I can onlye and rece him for a while.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan had recognized him, Yu Qian no longer hid it and returned to his indifferent expression.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied, then ignored Yu Qian and walked out of the alley.

    Yu Qian stood on the spot for a while before suddenly bending down to pick up a sycamore leaf that was slightly yellow. It had just slipped off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    Yu Qian pinched the end of the leaf and turned it twice. He took out his phone.

    ¡°How is he?¡±

    ¡°Boss, Wei Zimu has been struggling for the entire night. I just went in to take a look. He¡¯s still alive.¡±

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s just a normal drug reaction. As long as he doesn¡¯t die before the sun sets.¡± Yu Qian looked at the clear veins on the leaves and narrowed his eyes.

    In theboratory, even though Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were closed, he was frowning tightly. His forehead was filled with sweat, and his blood vessels surged with powerful strength that constantly attacked the limits of his body.

    Countless times, he had already stood on the verge of copse, but the little girl¡¯s innocent eyes and the woman¡¯s cold eyes had always stood at the boiling bottom of his heart, pulling him to maintain a hint of rity from extreme pain.

    Ever since she met Yu Qian, Xia Wanyuan had felt a little ufortable. She tried to call Wei Zimu, but the result was ¡°the number you called is not in the service area.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan called again but it still didn¡¯t get through. Instead, Shen Qian called.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been more at ease with Shen Qian. Normally, he wouldn¡¯t look for her.

    There was a big problem with thepany this time, and this problem was rted to Glory World Corporation.

    Xuan Sheng and Xuan Li were currently divided into two camps in Glory World Corporation. Xuan Li had the support of some elders on the board of directors, so it was easier for him to obtain thepany¡¯s resources than Xuan Sheng.

    After being humiliated by Xia Wanyuan in publicst time, Xuan Li hade up with a series of proposals after returning to thepany to snatch the Xia family¡¯s partner.

    Glory World Corporation was indeed rich and imposing. Shen Qian tried his best but could not block such a huge gap. ¡°Let him snatch it first and observe for a while.¡± At the beginning of the transformation, in order to quickly open the channels, thepany had already let go of the standards in choosing partners. Now, Xuan Li¡¯s actions could be considered helping them filter out unqualified partners for free.

    ¡°Okay, the concept map for Xiu Yi¡¯s renovation has been sent to your email. If you confirm that there¡¯s no problem, I can arrange to start work.¡± Shen Qian continued to report some other things to Xia Wanyuan. By the time he hung up the phone, it was already more than half an hourter.

    In the past half an hour, An Rao had called once and Jun Shiling had called twice.

 Chapter 774 - The Princess Is So Cute and Loving

    Chapter 774 The Princess Is So Cute and Loving

    Xia Wanyuan called An Rao first and the call connected quickly.

    ¡°Sister, are you busy?¡± An Rao¡¯szy voice came. ¡°I¡¯m so bored. Can I y with youter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was puzzled. ¡°Isn¡¯t Bo Xiao back?¡±

    ¡°Bo Xiao went out because he had something on. Let¡¯s secretly go out for dinner tonight, okay? How long has it been since the two of us went out together? I don¡¯t want those two men.¡± An Rao was the ssic example of someone who could not stay idle.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± An Rao knew that Xia Wanyuan was the best. It was definitely not wrong to look for her.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan replied Jun Shiling on WeChat. Not long after, the Phantom appeared in her field of vision.

    ¡°How rare. Your Highness, you¡¯re actually in the mood to invite me to eat today?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and teased Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Then go back. I¡¯ll eat myself.¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled her over. ¡°It¡¯s my honor to eat with our little princess.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, causing him tough softly. ¡°Alright, stop fooling around. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll send you to ss after eating.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reported a few dishes, and Jun Shiling resolutely rejected the few Sichuan dishes she wanted to eat and changed them to light and appetizing dishes.

    ¡°Liar, you asked me what I wanted to eat but didn¡¯t let me.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling would definitely not agree to what she wanted to eat.

    ¡°If I don¡¯t control you, you¡¯re going to have gastric problems again.¡± In the end, Jun Shiling still could not bear to do it, so he got someone to add another te of spicy food. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve regressed to the limit.¡±

    Although there was only one te, Xia Wanyuan was satisfied. A satisfied expression appeared on her face.

    ¡°So easily satisfied? A te of Sichuan food can bribe you?¡± Seeing the smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling could not help but reach out and pinch her face.

    ¡°I¡¯m easily satisfied by you,¡± Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze suddenly became a little strange. He looked at Xia Wanyuan with a faint smile and leaned towards her ear. Hot air sprayed out and dyed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear red. ¡°How satisfied are

    you?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan reacted for a moment before understanding Jun Shiling¡¯s meaning from his deep gaze. Her face flushed red. ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you thinking?!¡±

    ¡°I missed you.¡± Jun Shiling insisted. ¡°Tell me, is the Princess satisfied with me?¡±

    ¡°Displeased.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she could tell from Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes that if she dared to say unsatisfied, they would talk overnight about the meaning of satisfaction.

    The chauffeur had long gotten out of the car and was currently in the underground garage. Xia Wanyuan looked around. There was no one around, so she nodded. ¡°Satisfied, okay? I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Jun Shiling replied, but he did not let go of Xia Wanyuan. He stared at her with a burning gaze. ¡°I¡¯m quite hungry too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°You¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling knocked her head gently, his eyes filled with helplessness. ¡°What are you thinking? No matter how much I want to, I won¡¯t do anything to you in public.¡±

    She was the treasure he doted on the most. He did not want to do anything to her in such a ce.

    ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true. The Inte says that men like this kind of excitement.¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously thought of the 36 public ounts links An Rao had sent her.

    After being with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan would asionally click on the strange links An Rao had sent her out of curiosity. She had a good memory, so even if she scanned them once, she had a photographic memory.

    ¡°Oh?¡± A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes. ¡°So Madam, you read these behind my back? Then where do you like, Madam? Tell me, I¡¯ll get someone to build one.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rarely felt embarrassed. At that moment, she really felt embarrassed. She quietly raised her hands and covered her face, revealing only a pair of red ears. ¡°You didn¡¯t hear anything just now.¡±

 Chapter 775 - Shy

    Chapter 775 Shy

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan cover her face shyly, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with indulgence. ¡°Then I¡¯m sorry, my hearing is quite good. You just said that men like excitement.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes tightly and covered her face with her hand, as if she could escape Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze this way. ¡°Do you like it in the car? Or in the theater? In the suburbs?¡± It was rare to see Xia Wanyuan so shy, and Jun Shiling could not help but want to tease her.

    Xia Wanyuan covered her face and buried her head in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, but Jun Shiling continued to speak into her ear relentlessly. His deep and maic voice carried heat, causing Xia Wanyuan to have goosebumps.

    ¡°Huh? Tell me, what else did you learn? What else does a man like? Excitement? Tell me about it.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand away from her face.

    Xia Wanyuan struggled for a while. Jun Shiling smiled and kissed her wrist. ¡°Do you like this type?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that her wrist was frighteningly hot. The numbness spread from that point to her entire body, but Jun Shiling was still approaching, as if he had to ask clearly.

    ¡°I already said there¡¯s nothing else. You¡¯re so annoying.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, forgetting that she was in the car.

    Seeing that she was about to hit the roof of the car, Jun Shiling hurriedly reached out to protect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to pounce on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and cover his mouth with her hand. ¡°Stop talking.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions of standing and pouncing were too big, causing the car to move a few times. A few people passed by in the distance. In the silence, the movement of the car was especially eye-catching.

    The garage was dark, and the people outside could not see who was in the car. However, as an adult country bumpkin, everyone¡¯s imagination was top-notch.

    Xia Wanyuan could clearly see the few people winking at each other outside. As they walked, they pointed at the Phantom.

    ¡°I¡¯m really at a loss.¡± The few of them finally walked away. Jun Shiling removed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was covering his mouth.

    ¡°What did you lose?¡± Xia Wanyuan was baffled. Am I not the one who lost? I was the scapegoat.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t get any benefits at all, but in the eyes of others, I¡¯ve fallen into a trap of being lustful.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, gently rubbing it withyers of softness. ¡°Did you say you hated me just now?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling coquettishly. ¡°So what if I said it?¡±

    ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to make a suggestion.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face as if he was pinching Xiao Bao. ¡°Can you please be less cute, Madam?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and pointed at his chest. ¡°I can¡¯t contain my love for you anymore.¡±

    ¡°¡­ I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan was angry and embarrassed. As she spoke, she wanted to push the car door.

    Jun Shiling exerted some strength on his wrist and hugged Xia Wanyuan back. ¡°Your Highness, please reward me with some dessert first.¡±

    The overwhelming pine fragrance instantly surrounded Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s kiss was gentle and strong, and it was filled with thick true love. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart suddenly softened. Her arm climbed onto his back, and her teeth opened.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obedience, Jun Shiling¡¯s actions became even more affectionate. He stepped back slightly, his eyes smiling. ¡°Do you hate me or like me?¡±

    ¡°I hate you.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and bit Jun Shiling. The mes in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes instantly burned. It was only when Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling breathlessly that Jun Shiling reluctantly let her go. ¡°Do you still hate me?¡¯

    ¡°Mm, I still hate you.¡± Xia Wanyuan panted slightly. Her eyes were sparkling, and her bright red lips were like a rose drenched in the rain, warm and alluring.

    ¡°Okay, then it¡¯s not bad if you always hate me.¡± Jun Shiling smiled instead of being angry. ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to move. Bring the food down and eat in the car.¡± After struggling for a long time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s limbs were weak and she did not want to go upstairs.

    ¡°Okay, as you wish.¡± Jun Shiling made a call and someone quickly brought the food down.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to school. Just as the car stopped, Jun Shiling acutely noticed that Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°That girl is An Rao¡¯s sister. She appeared here and should be waiting for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t like An Lin very much.

    As an adopted daughter, An Lin was so sensible that her parents had poured all their love and care into her. As their iological daughter, An Rao had beenpletely ignored by her parents. She did not believe that An Lin had not instigated them.

    ¡°Then let the chauffeur drive the car straight into the teaching area.¡± Jun Shiling nced at An Lin outside and retracted his gaze.

    ¡°No need. I want to see what she wants to do too,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she picked up her bag and prepared to get out of the car, but Jun Shiling pulled her back.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and only looked at Xia Wanyuan, not letting her go. Helpless, Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and kissed Jun Shiling¡¯s right cheek. ¡°Is that enough, CEO Jun?¡±

    ¡°Bye, I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡± Jun Shiling was satisfied.

    At the Qing University entrance, An Lin and her roommates stood together.

    ¡°An Lin, do you really know Xia Wanyuan? What¡¯s your rtionship?¡± The roommates did not believe An Lin at first. An Lin had said that she wanted to bring them to Xia Wanyuan, so they followed her.

    ¡°Yes, Professor Xia.¡± An Lin¡¯s smile widened when she saw Xia Wanyuan get out of the car. ¡°Professor Xia can be considered to be my sister.¡±

 Chapter 776 - An Lin Meeting Yuqian

    Chapter 776 An Lin Meeting Yuqian

    ¡°Your sister? Wow, that¡¯s amazing. I like her so much. Can you get her an autograph for meter?¡± Hearing An Lin¡¯s words, her roommate was extremely excited.

    ¡°She¡¯sing, she¡¯sing. Wow, she¡¯s even more beautiful in person than on television.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over step by step. An Lin¡¯s roommate was already stunned.

    ¡°Good afternoon, Sister Xia.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had approached, An Lin greeted her obediently.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and looked at An Lin. ¡°An Rao sent you here?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words stunned everyone. Everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had a good rtionship. The roommates looked at An Lin. Their surnames were all An, so An Lin was An Rao¡¯s sister?

    ¡°No, my sister went out to live with someone else.¡± An Lin¡¯s expression was very natural. ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to listen to Sister Xia¡¯s ss. Can I go with you today?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked into school. An Lin and her roommates hurriedly followed.

    ¡°So you¡¯re An Rao¡¯s sister. An Rao is so cute. Can you get an autograph for me?¡± Her roommates and An Lin followed Xia Wanyuan at a leisurely pace and whispered.

    ¡°My sister is quite cute, but she¡¯s been busy dating recently and doesn¡¯t have time to talk to me.¡± An Lin smiled slightly. She didn¡¯t expect the people in Beijing to have such a good impression of An Rao.

    Not only was the An family traditional, but their other rtives also cared a lot about face. Ever since they were young, whenever they spoke of the two sisters, they would praise An Lin for being good in both morals and studies. When they spoke of An Rao, they would always look disdainful.

    In the end, when she came here, it seemed to be the other way around. She was actually like An Rao¡¯s foil.

    Xia Wanyuan went straight to the office. An Lin and her roommate walked into the ssroom. At that moment, the ssroom was basically full, and there were only a few empty seats in the back row.

    Before An Lin arrived in Beijing, she had already understood everyone around An Rao. She knew that Xia Wanyuan was well-educated and she happened to be a literature major, so she took out her notebook and prepared to listen to the lesson seriously. She would ask Xia Wanyuan questions after ss.

    Just as she took out the pen and book, her roommate suddenly pulled on her clothes. An Lin turned around in surprise, only to see her roommate signaling to her right. An Lin followed her roommate¡¯s gaze and looked to the right.

    At some point in time, a man who looked like jade was sitting beside them. He was wearing a simple white shirt that was as bright as a jade tree. Sensing the gaze beside him, the man turned around and smiled warmly. The sunlight left a circle of light behind him.

    An Lin looked at the person beside her in a daze. The man seemed to be amused by her stunned expression. His eyes curved up slightly and he coughed lightly. Only then did An Lin wake up from a dream and her face flushed red.

    An Lin hurriedly retracted her gaze and looked at the ckboard, but she could not help but want to turn around again.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been listening to sses here for a long time. Why haven¡¯t I seen you before? Are you a new student?¡± While An Lin was feeling vexed, the man beside her actually took the initiative to talk to her.

    An Lin turned around and nced at the man beside her with a hint of shyness in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sister. I just entered the second university in Beijing this year. I¡¯m here to learn today.¡±

    ¡°So you¡¯re Professor Xia¡¯s sister. I quite like her sses. Can the two of us add each other on WeChat? If there¡¯s anything I don¡¯t understand, can you help me ask Professor Xia?¡± As the man spoke, he wrote his WeChat message on a piece of paper and handed it to An Lin.

    An Lin took the note. Her roommates were already excited.

    ¡°Wow, like Professor Xia? I think this handsome man must be looking to add you on WeChat.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We can¡¯t even see such a top-notch handsome man in our school. Besides, look at his watch. It¡¯s a limited edition with a market price of a few million dors. He¡¯s rich and handsome. An Lin, take good advantage of it. He must have fallen for you.¡±

    An Lin listened to her roommates¡¯ discussion and looked at the delicate words ¡°Wei Zimu¡± on the note. The corners of her lips curled up. Of course she saw the watch.

    From the moment the person beside her sat down, she had already noticed this watch worth millions. She just did not expect the owner of the watch to be so good-looking.

    Beijing was really a good ce.

 Chapter 777 - Seduction

    <h4>Chapter 777 Seduction</h4>

    Beside An Lin, Yu Qian turned around. His eyes were cold, as if the gentleness just now was an illusion.

    The bell rang and Xia Wanyuan walked into the ssroom. Themotion in the ssroom gradually subsided.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. The content of our lesson today is¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan began the lesson.

    She looked up and saw the shy and timid An Lin and the ¡®gentle¡¯ Yu Qian looking at each other. However, Xia Wanyuan only took a nce before moving her gaze away,pletely focusing on the lesson.

    ¡­..

    §Ñ

    ¡°Today¡¯s lesson will end here. If anyone has anything you don¡¯t understand, you can leave a message under the demonstration video. I¡¯ll exin to everyone in the next lesson. ss dismissed.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the bell rang.

    ¡°Aiya, I dropped my pen. Can I trouble Mr. Wei to pick it up for me?¡± An Lin had thought that this gentle man would take advantage of the lesson time to familiarize himself with her. Unexpectedly, other than turning around to take a look at her at the beginning of the lesson, he was listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture very seriously the rest of the time.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Yu Qian smiled and bent down to pick up An Lin¡¯s pen. ¡°Let me send you back to school. It¡¯s on the way.¡±

    ¡°Senior, are you from Qing University?¡±.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already graduated, but I still miss school life, so I came back to listen to sses. I¡¯m usually busy with work.¡± As Yu Qian spoke, he picked up An Lin¡¯s things. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Junior Sister An. I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    By the time An Lin and her roommates got into Yu Qian¡¯s car, An Lin could not help but be surprised. She knew that the man was rich, but she did not expect him to be so rich.

    Using the excuse of replying a teacher¡¯s WeChat, An Lin secretly checked the term ¡°Wei Zimu¡±. Arge piece of news about the Wei family immediately appeared on the search engine.

    He was actually from the Wei family?!

    The Wei family¡¯s foundation was in the south, and their old residence happened to be in Ning Yi City. That was where the An family was located. An Lin had heard Father An and Mother An exim countless times about the Wei family¡¯s influence and deep foundation since she was young.

    ¡°Here, have something to drink.¡± Yu Qian handed them a bottle of water.

    As An Lin typed on her phone, she reached out to take it. She identally touched Yu Qian¡¯s hand. As if she had just realized it, An Lin immediately retracted her hand and looked at Yu Qian like a frightened deer. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t see it.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Yu Qian smiled gently and looked out of the window. ¡°We¡¯re here. I have an important meeting today. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time.¡±

    Her roommates thanked Yu Qian and got out of the car. An Lin hugged the water that Yu Qian had given her and smiled at him. She could clearly see the amazement in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes and got out of the car without worry.

    ¡°Open all the windows to refresh the environment.¡± The car door was closed, and the smile on Yu Qian¡¯s face disappeared.

    He sat on the chair and took out two disinfectant wet tissues. He carefully wiped his hands, especially the spot that had just been touched.

    It was only when he used up a pack of ten disinfectant wet tissues that he barely felt that his hands were clean.

    An Lin was escorted back to the dormitory by her roommates. After knowing that she was An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sister, everyone¡¯s attitude towards her became even better.

    An Lin did not care much about her ssmates¡¯ ttery. She took out the note that she had been hiding in her pocket. An Lin looked at it and ced the note by the bed. She was not going to add Wei Zimu as a friend immediately.

 Chapter 778 - An Raoâ€™s Plaything

    Chapter 778 An Rao¡¯s ything

    Mother An called An Rao countless times but was hung up. After sending dozens of WeChat messages and being ignored, she waspletely angry. ¡°This An Rao has been devilish since she was young. Why didn¡¯t she study hard, yet she embarrasses me? Now that she¡¯s grown up, she doesn¡¯t give me any peace of mind. She¡¯s fooling around with men every day. I¡¯m so angry.¡±

    When one was middle-aged, all gatherings were times where the older generationpeted with their children. Hearing her rtives discuss her children again, Mother An was furious when she thought of An Rao.

    ¡°Aiyo, Wen Pei, don¡¯t say that. An Rao has been beautiful since she was young. In this society, being beautiful takes advantage.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of being beautiful? Can she eat with it? Look at how hardworking your daughter is. She got into a teacher after graduation. She¡¯s a teacher from No.1 Middle School. How good is that?¡± Mother An sighed. ¡°Fortunately, our An Lin is still hardworking. We¡¯re counting on An Lin to earn some face for our An family.¡±

    ¡°Why can¡¯t she use her beauty to get food?¡± The rtive could not understand why Mother An was so obsessed with professional dignity. ¡°I heard from my daughter that An Rao¡¯s boyfriend is a young general. I heard that his family is very rich. If she marries him, won¡¯t she be a proper young mistress?¡±

    ¡°What young general?¡± Mrs. An was stunned. Her rtive hurriedly found the relevant news and showed it to her.

    Mother An had never paid attention to these things, and it was the first time she knew about it today. She took the news and went to look for Father An.

    ¡°Young general?¡± Father An narrowed his eyes. This position was too high. How could he fancy An Rao? ¡°Isn¡¯t An Lin in Beijing? Ask An Lin if she knows about this?¡±

    Mother An then called An Lin.

    Hearing Mother An¡¯s words, a cold look shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes. Father An and Mother An valued face the most. If An Rao and Bo Xiao really became a couple, their prejudice against An Rao¡¯s past would definitely gradually be put down. After all, he was a young general, several levels higher than Father An.

    ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t know what Sister thinks.¡± An Lin chose her words carefully. ¡°But I think Mr. Bo doesn¡¯t respect Sister too much. Who would carry someone out of the house in the middle of the night? They¡¯re not married yet, how can they live together?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Mother An valued face the most. In her opinion, An Rao was treated as a ything by Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Also, Mom, I was thinking for my sister, so I searched for Bo Xiao¡¯s information online. There¡¯s a lot of news. I¡¯ll send it to youter. You can find it online yourself.¡±

    Not long after hanging up the phone, Mother An received more than ten links.

    ¡°Bo Xiao caused a scene at the Bo family¡¯s wedding and was sent abroad.¡±

    ¡°Young Master Bo went to a nightclub and had a conflict with someone.¡±

    ¡°Bo Xiao has another scandal and is in the same room as a famous movie star in Americate at night.¡±

    Looking at the news one by one and the extremely clear photos, Mother An casually thought about it and her mind was filled with scenes of An Rao entrusting herself to Bo Xiao to ask for resources and money. Her blood pressure instantly soared.

    ¡°Evil creature!! How shameless!¡± Mrs. An was furious. ¡°How did I give birth to such a shameless thing!¡±

    Father An quickly learned of this matter. Father An, who had thought highly of Bo Xiao because of his identity, now felt that An Rao had been yed.

    The two of them thought about it and sent An Rao an ultimatum. ¡°Break up with Bo Xiao immediately, or don¡¯t ever return to this house.¡±

    At the same time, An Rao, who had been recognized by Father and Mother An as a ¡°ything¡±, was sitting at the family table in the National Hall and watching Bo Xiao¡¯s award ceremony.

 Chapter 779 - This is My Fiancee

    Chapter 779 This is My Fiancee

    In front of the solemn hall, the higher-ups were giving Bo Xiao a medal.

    Other than the piracy incident and the previous time he protected foreign documents in Continent F, An Rao did not know much about the other missions Bo Xiao was involved in.

    However, just from Bo Xiao rising to the middle level this time, An Rao knew that Bo Xiao must have done a lot of work.

    After the award ceremony, the praised person bowed down.

    His gaze swept across An Rao, who was smiling proudly below the stage, and the corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up imperceptibly. After the entire ceremony, everyone greeted each other in the quiet hall.

    Those who could sit in this hall were basically familiar with each other. An Rao¡¯s eye-catching appearance and unfamiliar face were naturally the focus of everyone.

    ¡°Hey, little girl, I¡¯ve never seen you before? Did youe with your elders?¡± An Rao¡¯s amiable middle-aged woman turned her head and chatted with her.

    ¡°No, I came with my boyfriend.¡± An Rao smiled slightly.

    Although she looked very ostentatious, An Rao knew what asion it was. She had specially worn a dark-colored shirt and light makeup today, looking dignified and polite.

    ¡°Boyfriend? Which one? Did he just receive the award?¡±

    ¡°Yes, the person called Bo Xiao who was promoted just now is my boyfriend.¡±

    When An Rao said this, the family members around her surrounded her.

    ¡°Hey, is Bo Xiao your boyfriend? No wonder he rejected me when I told him I wanted to introduce my niece to himst time. So he has a beautiful girlfriend.¡±

    ¡°Bo Xiao is really not bad. You¡¯re lucky youngdy, you must hold him tight.¡±

    The people in the family area were mostly aunties who were of the older generation. Many of them were formerrades who loved people and had extremely straightforward characters. When they saw a newbie like An Rao, they surrounded her and asked.

    An Rao had never been so popr since she was young

    In the An family, the person who was praised was always the obedient and sensible An Lin.

    An Rao hated holidays the most. During holidays, she was always the one ying in the corner. She was too eye-catching in terms of looks, and people of her age were unwilling to get close to her. The adults also did not like her ostentatious personality.

    But now, An Rao was surrounded by a group of elders.

    An Rao knew very well that as a woman without any fame, the reason why others were so enthusiastic about her was mainly because of Bo Xiao.

    Just as she was thinking of Bo Xiao, Bo Xiao and the other praised people came over.

    There were leaders who had lower ranks than Bo Xiao and some were much higher than him.

    ¡°Come, Old Leader, let me introduce you. This is my fianc¨¦e. We¡¯ve engaged and will be married next year.¡± Bo Xiao walked over and pulled An Rao to introduce her to everyone.

    An Rao¡¯s heart was filled with question marks. How did I be his fianc¨¦e? When did he propose? Why didn¡¯t I know?

    However, facing so many people, An Rao still maintained herposure and greeted Bo Xiao¡¯srades and leaders very politely.

    ¡°Is this the youngdy who went to save Bo Xiao alonest time? The youngdy is really not bad.¡± The old leader sized up An Rao. She was indeed eye-catching, but her eyes were clear and he could tell that she was a good child.

    When the others heard the old leader¡¯s words, their gazes changed when they looked at An Rao.

    They all knew that thest operation was done by a group of people who volunteered to ring the signal bell. They did not expect it to be such a beautiful girl.

    She was so beautiful and so young, but she could risk her life to apany Bo Xiao on the battlefield. The family members had originally been close to her because of Bo Xiao, but now, they really felt that An Rao was a person they could befriend.

    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that Little Bo has made a name for himself and gotten engaged after. Let¡¯s celebrate. Let¡¯s go, my treat.¡± The old leader smiled heartily and suggested to gather at the restaurant beside.

    The group walked out of the hall in a grandiose manner. An Rao followed Bo Xiao. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she secretly hooked his palm.

    ¡°When did you propose? Why didn¡¯t I know?¡±

    ¡°Stupid.¡± The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°How can a girlfriend be as important as a future wife?¡±

    He was telling everyone in the military circles that his future wife was An Rao. This was different from a girlfriend.

    A future wife introduced to the military leaders could not be changed just like that.

 Chapter 780 - An Raoâ€™s â€˜Drivingâ€™ Failed

    Chapter 780 An Rao¡¯s ¡®Driving¡¯ Failed

    By the time An Rao apanied Bo Xiao out of the banquet, the moon was already high in the sky.

    Bo Xiao¡¯srades and leaders were all straightforward people. It was a happy day today, so everyone could not help but drink more.

    An Rao still did not know that Bo Xiao could drink so much. She watched as he drank tworge bottles of white wine. When he went out, Bo Xiao had to rely on An Rao¡¯s support to stand firm.

    After bidding farewell to everyone, An Rao and Bo Xiao walked to the garage. After a few steps, Bo Xiao stopped.

    The night breeze blew over, waking him up. ¡°This ce is close to my house. Let¡¯s walk back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao was still worried about Bo Xiao and reached out to support him.

    The two of them slowly walked back along the street. Although Bo Xiao was extremely drunk, he did not forget to protect An Rao as they walked on the side of the road. He exhaled heavily and suddenly said, ¡°An Rao, I¡¯m very happy today.¡±

    ¡°What are you happy about?¡± An Rao turned to look at Bo Xiao. The streetmp cast a warm glow on him, making him look hazy and handsome.

    ¡°Are you happy?¡± Bo Xiao did not answer or continue walking. He turned around and looked at An Rao, his eyes blurred with drunkenness.

    ¡°I¡¯m happy.¡± An Rao nodded. Herrge eyes seemed to contain the moon in the sky.

    She had appeared in Bo Xiao¡¯s work circle as his family today. With Bo Xiao¡¯s support, his colleagues, superiors, and aunties were especially good to her. They even loved her and liked her very much.

    Ever since she was young, she had been used to An Lin enjoying all the love and attention. She was used to her parents¡¯ harsh criticism, so she put herself in her shell.

    In front of outsiders, she was arrogant and cold, the so-called Medusa in the entertainment industry without a care in the world. No one knew that there was actually a child hidden in her heart.

    That child was forever left behind by her parents at the age of five, the year An Lin was brought home.

    However, now that this child had been released, Bo Xiao led her to everyone and proudly told everyone that this was the treasure in his heart.

    ¡°I¡¯m be happy if you¡¯re happy.¡± Bo Xiao was still wearing his military uniform. His eyes under the brim of his hat were deep and charming with a bright smile. ¡°I¡¯ll work harder to be promoted. I¡¯ll be your backer in the future.¡±

    I will make up for what your parents owe you. You will be respected no matter how high I stand.

    An Rao sniffed and her eyes turned red.

    ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Bo Xiao chuckled and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of An Rao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Our little friend is so good-looking. You¡¯re not allowed to cry anymore. If you cry anymore, you¡¯ll look ugly.¡±

    ¡°So what if I¡¯m ugly?¡± An Rao lowered her head, her teary eyshes fluttering.

    ¡°Even if you¡¯re ugly, I still have to marry you, right? Anyway, I can¡¯t marry anyone else in this life.¡± Bo Xiaoughed and reeked of alcohol. He pulled An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao followed Bo Xiao obediently.

    When they arrived at the warm house, Bo Xiao sat on the sofa for a while before his drunkenness began to surge. He closed his eyes and slept for a long time. Only when he felt someone shaking his shoulder did he open his eyes.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, go to bed and sleep.¡± An Rao was standing beside him.

    Bo Xiao stood up and pulled An Rao¡¯s hand to sleep on the bed. Just as he closed his eyes, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist. Bo Xiao reached out habitually to pat An Rao¡¯s back.

    However, after patting twice, Bo Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

    The house was dark, and only the faint moonlight seeped in through the window.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s hand covered An Rao¡¯s back and moved down. The gentle touch instantly made him feel aroused.

    Further down, it was still gentle. When itnded at her waist, it suddenly moved up. The soft touch that was like cotton candy made Bo Xiao¡¯s throat tighten.

    An Rao finally could not stand Bo Xiao¡¯s hot palm anymore. She steeled her heart and pounced into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°Are you done touching me?!¡±

    At that moment, Bo Xiao¡¯s drunkenness evaporated. His throat rolled, and his voice was hoarse. ¡°Go and put on your clothes.¡±

    This woman... is actually naked!

    ¡°No, you already said that I¡¯m your fianc¨¦e.¡± Although An Rao was very flustered, she knew that Bo Xiao had to endure it very hard every time. She was very happy today and did not want Bo Xiao to endure anymore.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t propose.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s hands clenched into fists under the nket. ¡°Don¡¯t be smug.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± An Rao did not agree. God knew how she had mentally prepared herself after showering for two hours in the bathroom and secretly took off her clothes.

    Anyway, it was already impossible to stop halfway. I am on a path to the dark now. Forget it.

    ¡°Be good, wait for me.¡± Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, An Rao had already leaned into his ear.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, do you really not want me?¡± An Rao¡¯s fragrance kept burrowing into his nose. Bo Xiao felt that he was going to explode in the next second.

    An Rao could already feel that Bo Xiao was on the verge of breaking down. Her hand groped for Bo Xiao¡¯s buttons, but Bo Xiao jumped up and wrapped An Rao with the nket.

    ¡°You¡¯re really courting death.¡± Bo Xiao gritted his teeth tightly. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to? But I don¡¯t want to take you so carelessly. Stay properly.¡±

    With that, Bo Xiao left the bedroom impatiently. He could not stay here anymore. If he stayed any longer, something would definitely happen.

    Bo Xiao took a cold shower in the bathroom for a long time. When he returned, the alcohol had dissipated.

    An Rao leaned on the bed with an unhappy expression. Seeing Bo Xiao walk over, she even snorted softly.

    Bo Xiao was angered by her expression. ¡°Are you angry at me?¡±

    Bo Xiao got onto the bed and looked at the time. ¡°It¡¯s sote.¡± Then, he reached out and gently knocked An Rao¡¯s forehead. ¡°I said you were stupid, but you didn¡¯t believe me. I want you even in my dreams, but I want to give you the best memory. That¡¯s too rash.¡±

    An Rao was not really angry. Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s words, shey in his arms. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±

    ¡°I think so.¡± Bo Xiao patted An Rao¡¯s back. ¡°I want to marry you openly and let you belong to me openly with everyone¡¯s blessings.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± An Rao was ted, but on second thought, An Rao felt embarrassed. ¡°Do you think I was especially unreserved just now?¡±

    After all, her impulsive actions were too embarrassing after she calmed down.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk. How do you know? I¡¯m too embarrassed to say it to you. You don¡¯t have the reservations of a girl at all. Don¡¯t you know how to be shy?¡± After being emotional for a few seconds, Bo Xiao could not help but tease An Rao.

    ¡°Dog man!¡± An Rao was anxious and angry. She wanted to turn around and ignore Bo Xiao, but Bo Xiao smiled and hugged her back.

    Chapter 781 The Battle for the Shower Gel

    ¡°Alright, good boy. I was just joking. Sleep. Goodnight.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and stroked An Rao¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao snorted softly and rolled back into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.

    In the An family, Father An and Mother An waited for a day but did not receive any reply from An Rao.

    Father An, who had always been used to being obeyed, was angered by his daughter again. ¡°Look at what you gave birth to. Her style is not proper and her actions are not right. Those people in my hometown mock me behind my back whenever An Rao is mentioned. Do you know that?!¡±

    Back then, after Mother An got pregnant, the An family had gotten someone to check the gender of the fetus. The two of them had never wanted to give birth to An Rao, but in the end, because Father An was a politician, and it was the critical period for his promotion at that time, so Father An could not take the lead in doing such a thing that vited the policy. Hence, An Rao was born.

    The quota of one child per family was used by An Rao just like that. It was her lifelong regret that Mother An did not give birth to a son. When An Rao slowly grew up and her temper was not disciplined, Mother An would be even more strict with her.

    Now, because of An Rao, they were still being mocked behind her back even though they were already so old. At home, Father An kept ming her for not knowing how to give birth. Mother An was furious, but she could not refute him.

    ¡°Just treat it as if I didn¡¯t give birth to this daughter. Fortunately, An Lin is hardworking. I heard from An Lin that she is now very close to a professor at Qing University. That professor even brought her to Qing University for sses. She even met a ssmate who said that he¡¯s from the Wei family.¡± Seeing that her husband¡¯s expression was getting worse, Mother An wanted to say something to make him happy.

    As expected, Father An¡¯s interest was piqued when he heard about the Wei family. ¡°The Wei family? Lin¡¯er is indeed outstanding. The people she knows are also very outstanding. Ask her to get along with them properly. If she needs money or anything, just get it from

    1111

    me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing her husband¡¯s expression turn from gloomy to sunny, Mrs. An sighed in her heart. Why isn¡¯t An Lin my biological daughter?

    The next morning, just as the sky lit up, the rm beside Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bed rang.

    Xia Wanyuan yawned and wanted to turn off the rm when Jun Shiling, who was hugging her, reached out to press the rm.

    Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket and was about to get up when Jun Shiling pulled her back.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had just woken up, spoke with a nasal voice, looking like she was acting coquettishly. ¡°I¡¯m going to receive that Master Danny today. There are many things to do in school. I want to go early.¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over and buried himself in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, causing her tough coquettishly. ¡°It¡¯s so ticklish.¡±

    ¡°Lie down for a while. I¡¯ll call you ten minutester.¡± Jun Shiling sniffed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scent and was a little confused. ¡°Why are you so fragrant when we use the same shower gel?¡±

    ¡°... Nonsense. The men¡¯s version you use is naturally not as fragrant as mine.¡± In her previous life, when she lived in the pce, the maids had also prepared bath products made of all kinds of incense for Xia Wanyuan, but they were indeed not as good as these modern tricks.

    ¡°I want to use yours today too. You smell so good.¡± Jun Shiling could not help but smell it again. It was faint and sweet, and he could only smell it when he was close. Thinking that only he could smell this scent on Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling was instantly excited.

    ¡°Go away.¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense again so early in the morning. If you want to use thedies¡¯ shower gel, use it. Don¡¯t use me as a cover.¡±

    ¡°I want to try it tonight.¡± Jun Shiling did not think of anything else. He mainly wanted to know why Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smell was so alluring.

    ¡°Get up. If you dare to torture me now, don¡¯t even think of entering the main building tonight.¡± Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s fiery impulse, Xia Wanyuan pushed him angrily.

    ¡°There¡¯s still five minutes. Lie down for a while more.¡± Even if they stayed together every day, Jun Shiling felt that he could not hug Xia Wanyuan enough.

    Jun Shiling buried his head in her neck, and the heat pounced on her skin. Xia Wanyuan felt extremely hot, while Jun Shiling wrapped himself around her like a snow leopard, making her unable to move.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that it had been a long time before Jun Shiling finally picked her up reluctantly. ¡°That Danny, he doesn¡¯t know how to admire watercolor paintings. Why must you pick him up?¡±

    ¡°The school asked me to go. Quick, help me put on my clothes. It¡¯ll be tooteter.¡± Xia Wanyuan was already used to asking Jun Shiling to help her. Although she said that it was toote, she leanedzily on the bed and did not move.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and helped her put on her clothes, then patiently tied her shoces. ¡°It¡¯ll be hard on you today.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Isn¡¯t it normal to work hard?¡± After putting on her shoes, Xia Wanyuan was pulled down by Jun Shiling for breakfast.

    The two of them woke up early that day and Xiao Bao was still asleep. After the two of them ate, Jun Shiling suggested sending Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯re not going to work?¡± Xia Wanyuan nned to go to school herself.

    ¡°Grandpa is getting discharged today. I¡¯ll apany him back to the courtyard and pick you up tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. After returning from America, Xia Wanyuan had gone to visit Old Master once. His recovery was very good. Old Master knew that she was busy, so he tried not to let her go over. Now that he was discharged, it was time for her to go and check on him.

    ¨C

    ¡°Mom, do you think Xia Wanyuan will take this opportunity to look for Master Danny?¡± In the hotel, Li Na had woken up very early. Thinking that she was going to Qing University today, she felt a little uneasy.

    ¡°So what if she did?¡± Lin Man was very calm. ¡°You have to know that there¡¯s nothing in this world that money can¡¯t settle. Don¡¯t worry, even if she did, Mommy has a way to make her never open her mouth.¡±

    Li Na had always trusted Lin Man. Hearing Lin Man¡¯s words, Li Na was relieved.

    ¡°Miss Li Na, Master Danny asked me to ask if you¡¯re ready. The car sent by the Qing University has arrived.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m ready. I¡¯ll go down now.¡± Li Na picked up her bag and kissed Lin Man on both her cheeks before leaving the house.

    At the Qing entrance, the stone lion stood tall with a ribbon around its neck. The students stood on both sides with fresh flowers in their hands, looking forward to this legendary master of the international painting industry.

    333

    ¡°Come, Professor Xia, take this flower and give it to Master Dannyter.¡± As the person in charge of the Qing University¡¯s looks, things like giving flowers had already been tacitly handed to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan took the flowers. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Such exchange procedures had detailed schedules. ording to the n, the car that was sent should be back at half-past nine. However, the school leader looked at his watch. It was already ten o¡¯clock, but the car was still not back.

    The originally enthusiastic students seemed a little dispirited.

    Another hour and a half passed. It was more than an hour away from half-past nine, the originally agreed timing. The team began to discuss.

    ¡°Hey, they¡¯re here, they¡¯re here. Isn¡¯t that the car our school sent out?¡± Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person noticed the car driving towards the school gate.

 Chapter 782 - Master Danny Arrives; Lin Man Visits

    Chapter 782 Master Danny Arrives; Lin Man Visits

    At an intersection not far away, a car with a Qing University logo was slowly driving over. The students¡¯ enthusiasm waspletely aroused again, and they raised colorful flowers to wee the school¡¯s guests.

    ¡°Wee to our school, Master Danny.¡± In order to show respect to Master Danny and his family, the Qing University specially sent a vice principal to wee him.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Before Master Danny came to Qing University, he had specially learned some simple social Chinese.

    ¡°Wee.¡± At the vice-principal¡¯s signal, Xia Wanyuan walked forward and handed the flowers to Master Danny.

    Master Danny had never paid attention to things on the Inte, so he did not know much about Xia Wanyuan. He only felt that this student of Qing University looked quite elegant and took another look.

    The extra nce he gave Xia Wanyuan made Li Na¡¯s heart skip a beat. Fortunately, Master Danny only took a nce before he resumed chatting with the vice principal.

    ¡°Teacher, let me help you hold the flowers.¡± Li Na walked over and pretended to help Master Danny get the flowers, but in fact, she squeezed Xia Wanyuan aside.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t n to follow Master Danny to begin with and walked to the side.

    As the vice principal spoke to Master Danny, he waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Teacher Xia,e here. This is Master Danny. You should learn from the master.¡±

    1111

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current status in the hearts of the principals was probably the same as the status of a genius to parents. As long as they met outsiders, they could not help but want to show off to others that they had such an outstanding child in their family.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan could be used as a living signboard for enrollment and could attract many talented teachers both domestically and abroad to join Qing University. In just two months, the number of young men who applied for the position of a teacher in Qing University had doubledpared to previous years. Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, the vice principal looked at Master Danny. ¡°Master Danny, speaking of which, our Professor Xia has a deep rtionship with you. She even participated in the International Arts Competition a while ago.¡±

    When the vice-principal said this, Master Danny looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. Li Na¡¯s hand trembled.

    ¡°How¡¯s your results? Which painting did you draw?¡± Master Danny did not expect that this young and beautiful Oriental woman was actually a professor at Qing University, nor did he expect that she was qualified to participate in the artpetition.

    ¡°Teacher, I just wanted to say that Miss Xia participated in thepetition with me. I¡¯ve seen her painting. It¡¯s not bad. She drew China¡¯sndscape painting. It has a different meaning,¡± Li Na said first, afraid that Xia Wanyuan would leak the truth.

    She knew that her teacher did not know much about China¡¯sndscape painting. As expected, after hearing Li Na¡¯s words, Master Danny¡¯s interest was extinguished. He had epted a Western-style painting system since he was young and did not know much about China¡¯s mountains and rivers.

    ¡°Landscape painting? Not bad. To promote the national essence.¡± However, in China, Master Danny still had to praise Xia Wanyuan, to care of the Qing University¡¯s reputation.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Li Na and didn¡¯t speak. She nodded at Master Danny. ¡°Thank you for your encouragement, Master Danny.¡±

    After exchanging polite greetings at the school gate, Master Danny was apanied by the vice principal to the school meeting room.

    ording to the schedule, Master Danny first attended the school meeting and then gave a speech to the students of the Arts department at Qing University.

    While they were away for a meeting, Xia Wanyuan returned to the office to prepare for the afternoon sses. However, just as she sat down, someone came to tell her that someone was looking for her in the school¡¯s small garden.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll go now.¡±

    Due to Master Danny¡¯s visit today, the school was more tightly controlled. At this moment, the small garden was very quiet. Xia Wanyuan turned into a long corridor and saw an extremely beautiful middle-ageddy sitting in the garden.

    ¡°Hello, Professor Xia.¡± The noblewoman turned around and smiled when she heard footsteps. ¡°I¡¯m the madam of the Blue family. My Chinese name is Lin Man and I¡¯m also Li Na¡¯s mother.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had some guesses about the person who hade. Now that she had heard Lin Man¡¯s introduction, she knew what Lin Man was here for.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Knowing the other party¡¯s intentions, Xia Wanyuan calmly sat opposite Lin Man. However, before the other party could answer, Xia Wanyuan looked up at Lin Man and saw that her gaze was a little strange.

    Lin Man had always known that Li Na had a strong opponent named Xia Wanyuan, but she had handed everything to her subordinate and had never seriously understood Xia Wanyuan. Now, it was the first time she had seriously seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were actually a little simr to Old Madam Wei¡¯s. (italis)

    ¡°I just admire your painting more, Miss Xia, so I took the liberty ofing here today to get to know you.¡± Lin Man swallowed the words she had prepared when she saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance. ¡°Oh? Then what do you want to know, Madam Lin?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, is your mother¡¯s surname Wei?¡± Lin Man tried to act natural. ¡°I think you looks a little like a friend I knew a long time ago.¡± ¡°No, her surname is Tang.¡± After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mother fell out with the Wei family, she changed her name to Tang Ling.

    surn

    ¡°Oh.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan say this, Lin Man was relieved. The expression on her face became distant and arrogant. ¡°Do you remember which painting you drew in the finals of the artpetition?¡±

    ¡°I remember. The ¡®Starry Sky¡¯ painting was the one that you and your daughter stole to give to Master Danny.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was calm, but her words angered Lin Man.

    333

    ¡°Miss Xia, you have to watch your words. Without evidence, I can sue you for defamation. Miss Xia, don¡¯t ruin your career because of a moment of anger.¡± Lin Man didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to be so direct.

    ¡°So? Didn¡¯t you look for me today because of this?¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at the time. She was toozy to argue with Lin Man anymore, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

    Wait, since you¡¯ve already said it clearly, then I¡¯ll be honest. I heard that you do business. You¡¯ve never drawn ¡®Starry Sky¡¯ in the finals. My Blue family will protect your business in Continent M. Other than the International Painter Association, I¡¯ll give you a spot as an honorary member of any association.¡±

    After Lin Man finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan stopped.

    A confident expression appeared on Lin Man¡¯s face. She knew that no one would reject her tempting conditions. After all, with the Blue family protecting them in Continent M, it was equivalent to stepping on the shoulders of a giant to do business. Any businessman knew how precious this opportunity was.

    ¡°Madam Lin, are you American or Chinese now??¡± Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan turned around and asked a baffling question.

 Chapter 783 - The Princessâ€™s Painting Shocks Master Danny

    Chapter 783 The Princess¡¯s Painting Shocks Master Danny

    ¡°Twenty years ago, I already obtained a green card from America. Naturally, I¡¯m American.¡± Although it was baffling, Lin Man still answered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question.

    ¡°I think so too.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°After all, being humble and cautious is a good tradition of the Chinese. From the looks of it, you don¡¯t seem to be Chinese.¡±

    Lin Man did not expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question to be directed at her arrogance. The smile on her face disappeared. ¡°Miss Xia, are you going against my Blue family?¡±

    Hearing that Lin Man had used the Blue family to suppress her, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. The introduction Jun Shiling had shown her about the Blue family had Lin Man, but she did not feel that Lin Man¡¯s status in the family was as high as the outside world had imagined.

    ¡°Madam Lin, I¡¯m afraid you left China for too long and you don¡¯t know the meaning of returning the things to the original owner.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Lin Man quietly, her aura suddenly obvious, making one¡¯s heart involuntarily feel a little weak. ¡°Whoever stole my things will have to return them sooner orter.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan left the garden. Even though Lin Man shouted ¡°stop¡± behind her, she couldn¡¯t stop her.

    ¡°Damn it.¡± Lin Man did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so difficult at such a young age, but she would never allow anyone to destroy Li Na¡¯s future.

    Danny was a master in the Western painting system. Regarding his arrival this time, the Qing University did not let go of this good opportunity and specially held a lecture. Everyone involved in the relevant profession was present, waiting to receive Master Danny¡¯s guidance. The hall was filled with students and teachers. After waiting for a long time, Master Danny finally appeared with the vice principal and Li Na.

    ¡°Everyone, wee the world¡¯s famous painter, Master Danny, to our school.¡± Just as the vice principal finished speaking, thunderous apuse sounded in the entire venue. ¡°Master Danny has already withdrawn from the painting industry for a long time. Today, I hope that Master Danny can give some guidance to our students. I believe it will be a valuable asset to them.¡±

    ve

    wn

    After the vice-principal¡¯s speech, Master Danny began his speech. At his level, giving lectures for students was basically off script. He could recite whatever he wanted.

    ¡°Actually, painting is particr about skilled techniques and grasping fleeting inspiration. Why don¡¯t we give an example on the spot?¡± Speaking to his heart¡¯s content, Master Danny felt that relying on theory alone was not enough. He still wanted to let the students see examples of concrete. ¡°Is there anyone present who isn¡¯t good at Western painting?¡±

    In order to show the school¡¯s professionalism, the audience for this lecture was studying Western painting. Everyone looked at each other. Some students raised their hands hesitantly.

    ¡°Hey, Xiao Xia,e here.¡± The vice principal nced around and immediately pulled Xia Wanyuan out of the crowd. ¡°Master Danny, Teacher Xia is good at Eastern painting. She¡¯s not very good at Western painting. What do you think you need her to do?¡±.

    The vice-principal even controlled the human resources of the school and the enrollment situation. He loved Xia Wanyuan, who was a moving recruitment advertisement. Whenever there was an event, he wanted Xia Wanyuan to show her face.

    In front of the camera, Li Na did not show any change in expression, but she was a little flustered. If Xia Wanyuan came up, what if Master Danny could tell that she had drawn ¡°Starry Sky¡±?

    ¡°Sure, then pleasee and demonstrate. Use the tools beside you to draw this pot of flowers on the table. Draw first, I¡¯ll talk about the rest.¡±

    Master Danny gestured for Xia Wanyuan to sit at the table beside him. He wanted to use the oil painting drawn by an untrained painter to exin to the students the importance of continuous umtion of skills and inspiration to the painter.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Li Na. Meeting the warning in her eyes, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she walked up the stage.

    Master Danny continued to lecture the students. His original n was to end the lecture ten minutes early and then exin Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, regardless of whether she had finished painting or not.

    However, to his surprise, it was only about ten minutes. After finishing a short paragraph of theoretical knowledge, he picked up the ss of water on the table and drank a mouthful of water. He was about to continue.

    ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood up, attracting the attention of the crowd.

    ¡°So quickly?¡± Master Danny was surprised.

    The teachers and students present watched Xia Wanyuan finish painting so quickly, and their hearts skipped a beat.

    Although the original intention of Master Danny asking someone to draw was to need an unprofessional person to draw an example, this was too unprofessional. Ten minutes, she probably did not even finish the outline, right?

    ¡°Ask the staff to project the painting on the big screen. Let¡¯s take a look together.¡± Master Danny had wanted to find an unprofessional painting as an example, so he did not think much of it.

    The staff quickly adjusted the equipment and shown Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting on the big screen on the stage.

    Master Danny and the principals sat on the tform with their backs to the big screen behind them. Hence, when the scene was projected, they did not see the painting immediately.

    On the other hand, after the audience in the hall saw the oil painting on the screen, the entire venue fell silent. They sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at the painting on the stage in a daze.

    The vice principal looked up and was shocked to see the expressions of the teachers and students.

    Could it be that Xia Wanyuan was useless as a mascot this time?! What happened to scare everyone like this?

    ¡°Okay, thank you for the painting, Teacher Xia. Now, let¡¯s take a look together. Why do I keep emphasizing that painters have to pay attention to umtion and have many training? Someone like Teacher Xia, who isn¡¯t good at oil painting,¡± Master Danny said as he turned to look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting. Then, he could not say the rest.

    Back then, Master Danny¡¯s famous work was a ¡°Sunflower¡± dedicated to Van Gogh. The Qing University¡¯s decorations were thoughtful. Sunflowers were ced everywhere in the hall, including the table where Master Danny was sitting.

    The painting projected on therge screen was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Sunflower¡±. The lights in the lecture hall were a little dim, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was like a sun that had appeared out of nowhere, casting its warm glow on every corner of the hall.

    The technique was extremely mellow, and the colors were extremely bold. Even Master Danny had to admit that such a bright and bold color might not be so integrated.

    ¡°Teacher Xia, you really haven¡¯t received systematic training?!¡± Master Danny looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief.

    Such a standard had already far surpassed many self-proimed famous painters, but she actually did not specialize in Western painting? This made Master Danny feel incredulous.

 Chapter 784 - The Princess Forced the Troublemaker to Back Off

    <h4>Chapter 784: The Princess Forced the Troublemaker to Back Off</h4>

    Not only was Master Danny in disbelief, but even the teachers and students who had been with Xia Wanyuan all day were stunned. They looked at the painting on the big screen.

    The teachers who specialized in oil painting looked at each other.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Teacher Xia good atndscape painting?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve never heard that she does oil paintings well.¡± The teachers thought.

    On the rostrum, although the vice principal was not familiar with art appreciation, he could tell from everyone¡¯s reaction and the shock that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting gave them that he had definitely done the right thing to let Xia Wanyuan go on stage this time.

    ¡°I really haven¡¯t learned much about oil paintings.¡±

    It was true that she had never learned Western painting, but she had seen many works of Western masters and had copied a few of them. She still knew the principle. As for the basic skills, she sued the essence of Chinese paintings.

    All of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s basic skills in painting came from the teachings of the grand tutor in her previous life.

    There were not so many advanced tools in the ancient society aspared to the modern world. To draw well and exquisitely, one¡¯s basic skills had to be very solid. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands seemed weak and slender, but it was not difficult for her to lift a huge brush that weighed ten pounds.

    ¡°Amazing.¡± Master Danny looked at Xia Wanyuan excitedly. Ignoring the fact that Xia Wanyuan had really never learned painting, even if she had, it was very rare for her to reach this level of painting at her age.

    ¡°It¡¯s really amazing. If you have any questions, you¡¯re wee to look for me. I¡¯m happy to answer your confusion.¡± There were so many people below the stage, so Master Danny could not say anything else. He could only nod at Xia Wanyuan.

    Li Na¡¯s palms were about to be scratched by her nails, when she saw how much Master Danny praised Xia Wanyuan.

    The lecture continued, still using Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting as an example. However, at this moment, he was no longer using it as a negative example. Instead, he used Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting as an example to exin to the students what characteristics a sessful painting usually had.

    By the time the lecture ended, it was already past lunchtime.

    Master Danny and Qing University had only agreed on a day for exchange. Everyone had lunch and there was a pile of activities in the afternoon.

    At the agreed time, the vice principal looked around but did not see Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Where¡¯s Professor Xia? Quick, let here over. Master Danny is still waiting.¡±

    ¡°Principal, a parent came to cause trouble and insisted on seeing Professor Xia. She can¡¯t leave on her side. Why don¡¯t you find a reason to tell Master Danny?¡±

    ¡°Causing trouble? Sigh, forget it. I¡¯ll go over first. Go and tell the principal about this and see if Professor Xia needs any help.¡± The vice principal wanted to bring Xia Wanyuan to Master Danny to make her presence known, but there was nothing he could do about the parent causing trouble. It would not be easy to clean up the mess if it was blown up.

    The vice principal found a reason to exin to Master Danny. Although Master Danny was a little regretful, he still expressed his understanding. Li Na, who was beside him, was relieved to hear this news.

    In the school office, Xia Wanyuan looked coldly at the parent of the student who was rolling on the ground.

    She had just finished lunch and was about to go out when a middle-aged woman barged in. She sat at the door and began to cry loudly, calling all the teachers on the first floor over.

    ¡°The number one educational institution in China! What kind of school is this? It¡¯spletely a scam! Liar, especially this Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s a big liar. Oh my god, how can such a person be a teacher?!¡± The middle-aged woman cried as she moved towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing that she was about to approach her, Xia Wanyuan said coldly, ¡°You can try moving again.¡±

    When the woman heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, she looked up. She was so frightened by the coldness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes that she did not dare to move. She cried even louder, but she did not dare to move her feet.

    ¡°What are you doing? If you don¡¯t go out, we¡¯re going to call the police.¡± Other teachers came when they heard the news. They knew that this woman was causing trouble at first nce.

    ¡°Report then. Anyway, I don¡¯t want to live anymore. Let the police see who you are. I¡¯m going to die here.¡± The woman cried as she clung to the door¡¯s exit.

    Xia Wanyuan was blocked in the office. The other teachers wanted to go up and pull the woman away, but the woman took off her shirt and threatened the male teachers present. ¡°If you dare toe over, I¡¯ll take off everything.¡±

    The teachers had never seen such a scene before and were hesitant to move forward.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the time. The time she had agreed to meet the vice principal had passed. Xia Wanyuan looked at the woman. ¡°It¡¯s already past time. You¡¯ve achieved your goal. Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±

    The middle-aged woman was stunned, then continued to cling to the door. ¡°What are you saying? I don¡¯t understand!¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re not leaving, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and took out a steel stick used to fix the shelf from the bookcase.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you can kill me. If you have the ability, then¡­¡±

    Bang! Before the woman could finish speaking, a loud bang erupted above her head. She looked up and saw that the door had been pressed in a few centimeters by a steel stick. Xia Wanyuan stood by the side with the stick and looked at her coldly.

    ¡°You¡¯re not leaving?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised the steel stick in her hand. This time, it was not aimed at the woman¡¯s head, but at her hand holding the door.

    Xia Wanyuan was extremely fast. The steel rod smashed down with a fierce wind. The teachers did not have time to stop her. Some of the female teachers even closed their eyes.

    However, the expected sound did not appear. The steel rod stopped a centimeter from the door, and the middle-aged woman had long covered her clothes and run out the door. The gaze she used to look back at Xia Wanyuan was filled with deep fear.

    The security guard came and brought the woman away.

    The other teachers surrounded her with lingering fear and asked about Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Professor Xia, did you cause any trouble?¡± The woman looked like she had ill intentions.

    ¡°Are you injured? Do you want to look for the school doctor?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t worry.¡± That woman had never touched her at all. Xia Wanyuan knew that if she came to cause trouble at this juncture, that woman and Li Na¡¯s mother would probably be rted.

    In the hotel suite, Lin Man listened to her subordinate¡¯s report and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Alright, give that woman some money and remind Miss not to let Master Danny meet Xia Wanyuan again.¡±

    After instructing her, Lin Man closed her eyes and allowed the beautician to massage her.

    She was just a small actress. If she used any tricks, Xia Wanyuan would never have the chance to interact with someone like Master Danny in her life. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrogant aura when they met in the morning, Lin Man felt that it was funny. She wondered where Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confidence came from to dare to resist her like this.

 Chapter 785 - Biological Xiao Bao

    <h4>Chapter 785: Biological Xiao Bao</h4>

    Her original schedule had been disrupted by this woman, so Xia Wanyuan stayed in the office to prepare for sses in peace. She also studied the theoretical books on Western painting.

    It was almost time to get off work. She had thought that she would be busy today, but she did not expect to get off work early.

    Thinking of giving Jun Shiling a surprise, Xia Wanyuan drove to thepany.

    Jun Shiling went downstairs and was about to bring Xia Wanyuan something delicious when he heard a siren not far away.

    Jun Shiling looked up and the corners of his lips curled up. The chauffeur secretly nced at the smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s face and was very certain that he could go on leave early again today.

    As expected, in the next second, Jun Shiling walked straight to the silver-gray sports car not far away. ¡°Go back first.¡±

    Jun Shiling got into the car and leaned over to kiss Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Aren¡¯t you very busy today? Why are you willing to pick me up?¡±

    ¡°I was originally busy, but there was nothing else after that. Didn¡¯t you always say that I didn¡¯t treat you well? Didn¡¯t Ie to pick you up now?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling coquettishly.

    ¡°Drive properly. You only know how to seduce me with your eyes every day.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surged from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    ?? Xia Wanyuan started the car speechlessly, then drove Jun Shiling towards the kindergarten.

    At the entrance of the kindergarten, Xiao Bao carried the little white shark school bag and skipped out. Ever since his identity was exposed thest time, everyone in the kindergarten knew that this cute child was Jun Shiling¡¯s child, and no one dared to bully him anymore.

    Xiao Bao stood at the school gate and waited for a while. The other children had been taken away, except for Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Is this little friend Jun Yin? Why isn¡¯t your family here to pick you up?¡± Xiao Bao was looking around when someone patted him from behind.

    Xiao Bao turned around. A woman with thick makeup was holding his least favorite female ssmate¡¯s hand and looking at him in surprise.

    ¡°Duo Duo, Little Master Jun is waiting for his parents here. Let¡¯s apany him here for a while before leaving?¡± As the woman spoke, she pulled her daughter¡¯s hand and ced it on Xiao Bao¡¯s arm. ¡°Aren¡¯t the two of you ssmates? y together more.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to y with her. I saw her bully her ssmatesst time.¡± Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s education, Xiao Bao was clear about his love and hate.

    ¡°No, that was just a joke.¡± The woman¡¯s face froze for a moment, then she recovered her smile and reached out to pull Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Jun Yin.¡± Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, a deep male voice came from behind. The woman turned around and was shocked when she met Jun Shiling¡¯s cold eyes.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao ran over happily when he saw Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling bent down and picked him up.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Jun. My Duo Duo is friends with Little Master Jun. Seeing that he¡¯s here alone, we wanted to apany him for a while.¡± The woman pulled Duo Duo and wanted to step forward to speak to Jun Shiling. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would turn around and leave with Xiao Bao in his arms?

    Looking at the rare sports car on the market, the woman looked at her daughter in disappointment. ¡°I asked you to be friends with Little Master Jun. What did you do? You¡¯re really disappointing.¡±

    As Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao into the car, his eyes lit up when he saw that the driver was Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, I missed you so much!!¡±

    Xiao Bao struggled twice but could not break free from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. He pouted angrily.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t we just see each other in the morning? Do you miss me so much already?¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s fair face in amusement.

    ¡°I miss Mommy every day. I miss Mommy even when I¡¯m by her side every day,¡± Xiao Bao said very seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan found these words very familiar and looked at Jun Shiling in amusement.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s words were exactly the same as what Jun Shiling had said. The two of them were really biological father and son.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jun Shiling understood the meaning in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes and smiled. ¡°Sit properly. Don¡¯t distract your mother.¡±

    After Xiao Bao sat down, Xia Wanyuan started the car and drove towards Old Master Jun¡¯s house.

    Old Master Jun was already old. No matter how good his physical fitness was usually, his vigor did not seem to be as good as before. However, Old Master was still very happy about Jun Shiling and the rest¡¯s arrival.

    ¡°My good baby,e and take a look at Great-grandfather. I missed you so much.¡± Old Master Jun could not carry the child yet, so he could only hold Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and rub his head.

    ¡°Grandpa.¡± Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sat beside Old Master.

    ¡°Sigh,¡± Old Master Jun replied and looked at Xia Wanyuan in relief. ¡°I heard that you won the Gopetition. That¡¯s great.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your praise, Grandpa.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly.

    After greeting the old master, Jun Shiling got up to pour water for Xia Wanyuan.

    If it were some elders, they would mostly me their granddaughter-inw for being insensible when they saw how eagerly their grandson served his wife. However, in Old Master Jun¡¯s eyes, he was extremely relieved.

    A stable and loving family was beneficial to the next generation and to the Jun Corporation. Hence, Old Master did not have any objections when he saw Jun Shiling running around for Xia Wanyuan.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan yed with Old Master Jun¡¯s bird in the courtyard with Xiao Bao. Jun Shiling and Old Master discussed in the study.

    Although they were chatting, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze kept passing through the window andnded on the mother and son, who were ying happily.

    Old Master coughed and pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s attention back.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Old Master smiled and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Back then, I wonder who threw a tantrum because I invited the Heavenly Master. Do you believe what Heavenly Master Zhang said now?¡±

    Hearing Old Master¡¯s words, Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. Back then, he had never thought of marrying Xia Wanyuan. He did not even n to keep the child in her stomach.

    Four years ago, he had already controlled the Jun Corporation. The Old Master could not do anything to him if he did not want to.

    To the old master, he also felt that Xia Wanyuan was not qualified to be the mistress of the Jun Corporation, so he had not nned to force Jun Shiling to marry.

    However, Priest Zhang, who was a guest in the Jun family at that time, happened to see Xia Wanyuan once. When he returned, he told the Old Master that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were a match made in heaven. With this woman, the Jun family could guarantee that it would not decline for a hundred lifetimes.

    Old Master trusted Priest Zhang very much. Hearing his words, Old Master wavered. Later on, Priest Zhang even swore on his reputation. Old Master finally made up his mind and forced Jun Shiling to register his marriage and keep the child.

    ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡± Thinking of his resistance back then, Jun Shiling sighed.?<i>Who knew that the world would be so magical?</i>

 Chapter 786 - Blackout Bathroom

    <h4>Chapter 786: ckout Bathroom</h4>

    ¡°Alright, you guys should go back early too. Remember to donate more incense money to the Daoist temples in the suburbs of Beijing another day. After all, your precious wife was specially bestowed to you by the heavens.¡±

    The old master was just teasing him casually, but Jun Shiling, who knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s background, agreed very much with what the heavens had given him. He sent Lin Jing a message after leaving the study.

    Hence, all the Daoist temples in Beijing received a huge sum of incense money that night.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Finally, after the day¡¯s schedule, Li Na apanied Master Danny into the car and all the Qing University crowd, who was bidding them farewell, was isted outside the car.

    Li Na poured a ss of water and handed it to Master Danny. ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve walked for so long in the afternoon. Drink some water.¡±

    Master Danny looked up at Li Na but did not reach out to take it. ¡°Li Na, you¡¯ve been with me for a while. We have a master-disciple rtionship. Let me ask you something. Did you really draw that ¡®Starry Sky¡¯?¡±

    Since paintings had varying standards, it meant that everyone¡¯s painting skills had their own unique style, especially some brush skills in painting. Only specific people knew them.

    Li Na¡¯s painting skills were actually very talented. Otherwise, he would not have recruited her. However, during this period of time when he taught Li Na to draw, he felt that he had not seen any spiritual essence like ¡°Starry Sky¡±. He attributed this to the sudden inspiration.

    However, after seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Sunflower¡± today, he understood that the passion that came fromyering was the deepest mark in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works.

    Without needing to look carefully, he knew that the real painter of ¡°Starry Sky¡± was Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Teacher.¡± When Xia Wanyuan drew ¡°Sunflower¡±, Li Na had a feeling that Master Danny would definitely notice. After all, she was also a painter and knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personal style could not be imitated.

    Li Na immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but she forced herself to calm down. Since Master Danny knew but did not expose her in public, it meant that Master Danny still had some leeway in his heart.

    And thisst line was her lifeline.

    After Li Na calmed down, she stopped talking. However, tears kept flowing out of her eyes.

    ¡°I told you to say it yourself. Why are you crying?¡± After all, he had brought Li Na along for a while and Li Na had treated him very well. Master Danny was still a little soft-hearted.

    ¡°Teacher.¡± Li Na suddenly stood up and knelt down to Master Danny. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m sorry. I wanted to be your student too much. It¡¯s all my fault. You can punish me however you want, but please don¡¯t abandon me.¡±

    Li Na really wanted to enter the social circle behind Master Danny. Li Na did not want to lose this opportunity.

    ¡°Get up. Why are you kneeling? How can you have such a great ability? I¡¯m afraid that your mother helped you behind your back, right?¡± Those judges were all famous painters. Li Na could not control them as she pleased. Master Danny quickly thought of Lin Man.

    ¡°No, Teacher. I went to bribe the judges myself. It has nothing to do with my family.¡±

    Li Na¡¯s words impressed Master Danny. ¡°Alright, get up first. I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t let you be my disciple.¡±

    At that time, the disciple recruitment ceremony was for the world. Every big family knew that Li Na had be Danny¡¯s disciple, so he could not go back on his word now.

    This was also the reason why he had pretended not to know when he had clearly realized that Xia Wanyuan was the owner of ¡°Starry Sky¡±.

    ¡°Okay, Teacher, have some tea.¡± Hearing Master Danny¡¯s words, Li Na was a little relieved. As long as Master Danny did not go back on his word, there was still a chance.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Although the old master had said that he did not need anyone to apany him, Xiao Bao, who had been educated very sensibly by Xia Wanyuan, still expressed that he wanted to apany the old master here. Hence, when they returned, there were only two people left in the car.

    The old master was addicted to alcohol, but he had just finished the surgery and could not drink yet, so he could only rece the wine with tea and let Jun Shiling drink with him.

    Jun Shiling was naturally not drinking tea and was a little drunk. Xia Wanyuan was still driving on the way back.

    When they returned to the manor, Uncle Wang had already prepared hangover soup for them.

    Jun Shiling drank the soup while Xia Wanyuan yawned and walked upstairs. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. I¡¯ll take a shower first.¡±

    ¡°I want to go with you,¡± Jun Shiling, who was drinking the soup, suddenly said. These words frightened Xia Wanyuan awake.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Uncle Wang suppressing a smile with a flushed old face. She red at Jun Shiling. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Bathe yourself downstairs.¡± Then, she quickened her pace and went upstairs to the bedroom.

    Jun Shiling, who had been mercilessly rejected, nced at Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang coughed. ¡°Young Master, the weather forecast said that there might be a thunderstorm tonight. The electricity supply in the manor hasn¡¯t been good recently, so you have to be prepared in advance.¡±

    With that, Uncle Wang took the bowl from Jun Shiling and left.

    Fifteen minutester, the electricity in the main building suddenly stopped.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had just washed her hair, looked around at the darkness in confusion.?<i>Why was there a ckout again??</i>

    ¡°Baby, the electricity has stopped. Are you afraid?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just taken the phone and was about to call Jun Shiling when his voice sounded outside the door.

    <i>How could there be such a coincidence? The power had just stopped, and he was at the door?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan replied angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. Don¡¯te in.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Jun Shiling replied. ¡°Baby, was the horror film you watched with An Raost time nice?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan too well. As expected, the lock of the bathroom was opened.

    The door had just been pushed open when the darkness in the room was dispersed by the candlelight in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to be holding a candle. She hurriedly reached for the bathrobe, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯ve never seen it before. Why are you shy?¡± Although that was what he said, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was like fire, sticking to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Did you cause the ckout? How can it be so coincidental?¡±<i>?Besides, was the electricity in the manor so bad? Why did it stop for no reason? Jun Shiling, the richest man in the world, was too shameless.</i>

    ¡°You me me for the ckout too?¡± Jun Shiling locked the bathroom door and ced the candle on the table. The candlelight flickered as he walked.

    ¡°Stop quibbling. You really can think of anything.¡± Xia Wanyuan was so angry that sheughed.

    Jun Shiling walked forward and carried Xia Wanyuan to the dressing table, then separated her legs and wrapped them around his waist.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face flushed red from this embarrassing position, but Jun Shiling did not let her go. He grabbed her hand and ced it on his tie.

    ¡°Help me remove it.¡±

 Chapter 787 - Candle Light Fluttering

    <h4>Chapter 787: Candle Light Fluttering</h4>

    Such a shameful posture made Xia Wanyuan curl up in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Xia Wanyuan looked up. Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome face was even more alluring in the candlelight.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not move, Jun Shiling slowly pulled open his tie with her hand. His left hand, which was ced on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, exerted a little strength, making Xia Wanyuan lean closer to him.

    Jun Shiling leaned over and nted a few kisses on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, as if sighing. ¡°You smell so good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was almost scalded into a puddle by the high temperature of Jun Shiling¡¯s body. She allowed Jun Shiling to pull her hand and remove his clothes.

    ¡°Give me some shower gel,¡± Jun Shiling said and squeezed out arge amount of shower gel from the box beside him. However, he did not apply it to himself, but evenly applied it to Xia Wanyuan.

    After applying ayer of fragrant shower gel on Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling picked her up. Xia Wanyuan lost her support and could only hug Jun Shiling tightly.

    However, the slippery touch of the shower gel made Xia Wanyuan fall uncontrobly. In order not to fall, Xia Wanyuan could only hug Jun Shiling tightly.

    After taking two steps, Jun Shiling could not take it anymore. He hugged Xia Wanyuan and leaned against the wall, cing his palm on her back and rushing in fiercely, causing Xia Wanyuan to cry out.

    Candles flickered and the figures in the bathroom ovepped. After some time, even the candlelight could not stand the charm in the room. It quietly shrank the mes, and the turbulent figures gradually calmed down.

    Concerned that Xia Wanyuan had worked hard during the day and he had bullied her ruthlessly with a round, Jun Shiling barely suppressed the thought of continuing and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°I love you.¡±

    ¡°How am I supposed to shower after the power goes out?¡± Xia Wanyuan was so tired that she didn¡¯t want to move. She didn¡¯t care how embarrassing her current posture was. She only knew that she could not stand being sticky. If she didn¡¯t shower, she definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep.

    The electricity is here.¡± Jun Shiling carried her, took a few steps, and pressed the switch. As expected, the electricity had arrived.

    ¡°¡­ You did it on purpose.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to pinch Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, causing him to chuckle.

    After Jun Shiling cleaned Xia Wanyuan up properly, he changed into a clean set of pajamas and blew her hair dry before lying under the nket with her.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling hugged her tighter.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was already extremely sleepy, but she still supported her spirits and replied.

    ¡°It¡¯s not about the shower gel or because you smell good. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything good about your shower gel,¡± Jun Shiling said and sniffed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck again.

    ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was rubbing against her like a cat, making her itch.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Goodnight, I love you.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek and expressed his love for her generously.

    ¡°I love you too.¡± Wrapped in Jun Shiling¡¯s scent, Xia Wanyuan snuggled in his arms peacefully and closed her eyes.

    It was a quiet night, but some people were not asleep.

    After Bo Xiao and An Rao moved out of the apartment, An Lin left the next day with her luggage. Father An and Mother An rented an apartment for her outside the school.

    Although it was alreadyte at night, An Lin did not fall asleep. Instead, she held the note and typed in a number on her phone. An ount with a profile picture of the blue sky and a nickname of Wei Zimu appeared on the search page. An Lin pressed the friend request button.

    As expected, the friend request was quickly epted.

    An Lin sent a surprised emoticon.

    ¡°Are you sleeping sote too? I thought you were asleep.¡±

    The other party replied quickly, ¡°I just finished a acquisition n and was about to sleep when I received your message. Junior, why aren¡¯t you resting sote?¡±

    Seeing the long string of messages from Wei Zimu, An Lin had an idea. She switched to voice message and sent Wei Zimu a voice message.

    ¡°Our club is preparing for an event. I didn¡¯te back untilte after rehearsal.¡± The girl¡¯s clear voice easily reminded one of those lush years in the empty night.

    ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯ve graduated for a long time and I quite miss university life. I remember that back then¡­¡± The other party replied very quickly. Furthermore, it seemed that An Lin had piqued his interest in chatting and told An Lin some interesting things about himself when he was in school.

    However, Wei Zimu was very considerate. After chatting for a while, he persuaded An Lin to rest early. An Lin sent the other party a voice message ¡°Goodnight Senior¡±.

    Wei Zimu replied with an emoticon touching his head. An Lin looked at this expression and a smile appeared on her face.

    In the Wei family¡¯s courtyard, Yu Qiany on the sofa and looked at Wei Zimu¡¯s reaction records to the medicine. He frowned slightly, and his phone had long been given to his subordinate to chat with An Lin.

    ¡°Boss, we¡¯re done talking.¡± Not long after, the subordinate brought the phone in.

    ¡°Leave it with you, you can chat with her.¡± Yu Qian did not even bother to look up.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The subordinate held his phone and left the room.

    Yu Qian looked at the drug records for a while more, then took out the phone and called the base. ¡°Give him another one-third of the dose and send the reaction records over.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± After Jayce received Yu Qian¡¯s order, he went to theboratory to look for the technician.

    When they discussed how many doses they were going to inject Wei Zimu with, Jayce recalled how Wei Zimu usually did not take Yu Qian seriously. A ruthless glint shed across his eyes. ¡°One-third, use that.¡± As he spoke, he pointed at a syringe that was twice the normal size on the table.

    Although the technician was surprised, Jayce was the person closest to King. The technician did not dare to retort his words.

    Soon, the medicine was ready. In order not to harm the effects of the medicine, the technicians had never used anesthesia on Wei Zimu.

    A third of the medicine was pushed into his blood vessels. The huge reaction immediately made Wei Zimu twitch in pain.

    ¡°Insert the sensor and record the data.¡± The technician was already very familiar with this scene. He walked out of theboratory almost numbly and observed Wei Zimu¡¯s reaction after using the medicine through the ss screen.

    On the ss screen, Wei Zimu¡¯s blood vessels were about to explode from the drugs. He was sweating profusely from the pain as if he was soaking in water. His eyes were red and he almost lost his rationality.

    Outside the screen, data kept jumping. The technicians discussed in whispers, as if the person inside was just an experimental device in their eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next morning, Lin Man brought a pile of gifts to the hotel where Master Danny was staying.

    She knew more than Li Na. As long as Master Danny was willing to turn a blind eye to this matter, Li Na would be able to get through it safely.

 Chapter 788 - Acting Coquettishly and Clingy Daily

    <h4>Chapter 788: Acting Coquettishly and Clingy Daily</h4>

    No one knew what Lin Man and Master Danny had said, but half an hourter, Lin Man came out of Master Danny¡¯s room with a smile.

    ¡°Mother, how is it?¡± Li Na walked towards Lin Man, feeling very uneasy.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master Danny has already agreed to turn a blind eye to the ¡®Starry Sky¡¯ painting. However, he has the intention of taking Xia Wanyuan under his wing.¡± Although this was Master Danny¡¯s freedom to ept disciples, Lin Man was worried that if Xia Wanyuan became Master Danny¡¯s disciple, he would love Xia Wanyuan more and ignore Li Na.

    ¡°How can that do? Back then, the entire world knows that I am hisst disciple.¡± Li Na had an inexplicable resistance to Xia Wanyuan. She couldn¡¯t tell why, but she felt that Xia Wanyuan was a huge threat.

    ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s take it one step at a time. At least now, it¡¯s a good thing that Master Danny doesn¡¯t pursue your mistake. Don¡¯t you still have Mommy in the future?¡± Lin Man patted the back of Li Na¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Na temporarily calmed down.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After tossing and turning for the entire night, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, the sun was already by the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan reached for her phone, but Jun Shiling grabbed her. ¡°Stop looking. I helped you take a half-day leave from the production team. Don¡¯t you have no sses in school? Sleep a while more.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shrank back into the nket helplessly. She could not remember her timetable, but Jun Shiling remembered it very clearly.

    ¡°There¡¯s something else. That Danny sent you an invitation to see an art exhibition with him. I rejected it for you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the documents in theputer as he spoke to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell from Master Danny¡¯s expression yesterday that even if he knew that the ¡°Starry Sky Painting¡± had been switched, he wouldn¡¯t choose to stand on her side.

    After all, to a person who had almost be a god in the art world, reputation was more important than anything. He would not destroy his reputation, which he had managed for his entire life, because of Xia Wanyuan.

    A master in the painting industry actually allowed others to rece a painting and not realize it. In the end, he even epted a fake disciple. No one was willing to publicize such a thing.

    ¡°He¡¯s blind. Ignore him. Sleep.¡± Jun Shiling was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be unhappy about this, so he reached out and patted her back tofort her.

    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡± The nket was filled with the pine fragrance of Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan could not sleep anymore.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Jun Shiling put down his work and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t hug me, I won¡¯t be able to sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was very busy. Logically speaking, she shouldn¡¯t disturb him, but emotionally speaking, she wanted Jun Shiling to apany her.

    Hearing this, Jun Shiling was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with smiles. He ced theputer on the bedside table, theny under the nket and reached out to hug Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sigh, why do you like to act coquettishly so much now?¡± Jun Shiling let Xia Wanyuan nestle in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her hair.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyway, I just want you to apany me.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned against Jun Shiling¡¯s chest in peace. She felt very satisfied as she listened to his racing heart.

    It was probably because she felt that there was someone doting on her no matter what she did that she acted coquettishly without restraint.

    ¡°Who would dare not to apany our little princess?¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Sleep, I¡¯ll apany you. I¡¯ll do my work when you wake up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and quickly fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling was not sleepy, but just hugging Xia Wanyuan like this made him feel that he did not have to do anything. His eyes changed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

    Only after two hours did Xia Wanyuan slowly wake up.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake? Are you still sleeping?¡± Jun Shiling had indeed been apanying her.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and kissed Jun Shiling. ¡°Good morning, Hubby.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so obedient today?¡± Jun Shiling felt as if he had fallen into the clouds because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s call. He felt as if his heart had melted.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I want to get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan said but didn¡¯t move, waiting for Jun Shiling to carry her.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry too. Let Hubby have a bite first.¡± Jun Shiling flipped over and pressed Xia Wanyuan under him, his eyes shining.

    By the time the two of them tidied up and got up, it was almost lunchtime.

    Uncle Wang looked at the young couple and blushed for some reason.

    Poor him. He was already so old, but he still had to guard the electricity room and let someone cut the electricity at the right time.

    However, seeing that Jun Shiling and her had just woken up, Uncle Wang praised himself in his heart.

    Ever since he was young, he had strictly prepared food for Jun Shiling ording to the requirements of a nutritionist.

    From the looks of it, Jun Shiling¡¯s health was pretty good. He only woke up at noon, but Jun Shiling still looked very energetic.

    ¡°What are you going to do in the afternoon?¡± Jun Shiling removed the fish bones and fed the fish to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I want to be with you.¡± Sometimes, Xia Wanyuan was especially clingy toward Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling enjoyed this very much, and a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°Okay, thene with me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m joking. I still have something to do at the production team¡¯s side. Besides, Xiu Yi has started to renovate. Shen Qian isn¡¯t around. I have to go and take a look.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re going to see Xuan Sheng?¡± At the mention of Xiu Yi, Jun Shiling thought of Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan was surprised by his strong association.

    ¡°Why does going to Xiu Yi mean meeting Xuan Sheng?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°The?vinegar<sup>1</sup>?hasn¡¯t fermented yet, but you ate it first.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± How could Jun Shiling not understand Xuan Sheng? If Xia Wanyuan went, that person would definitely follow. Jun Shiling was unwilling to say more. ¡°You can only like me.¡±

    ¡°Got it. Jealous Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s jealousy was inexplicable.

    However, reality proved that men knew men the best.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan arrived at Xiu Yi, Xuan Sheng arrived.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng looked much better than thest time they met.

    ¡°You¡¯re here too.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng. ¡°You look much more energetic thanst time.¡±

    ¡°Of course. I eat on time every day.¡± After Xuan Sheng said this, he felt that something was wrong.?<i>Why do I feel like a primary school student?</i>

    Seeing the smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Xuan Sheng could not help but touch the tip of his nose.?<i>I wanted to leave a good impression on Xia Wanyuan, but why did I look silly in the end?</i>

    ¡°Do you want to take a look at the interior design?¡± Looking at the more lively person now, Xia Wanyuan felt that the current Xuan Sheng was much morefortable than when they first met.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng walked over. Afraid that Xia Wanyuan would mind, he deliberately maintained the distance between him and her.

 Chapter 789 - Trapped in the Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 789: Trapped in the Mountain</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was originally wearing a long-sleeved shirt today. When she handed the blueprint to Xuan Sheng, she revealed a fair wrist.

    However, Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze only paused for a moment beforepletely retracting. The light on his body immediately dimmed.

    There were red marks on her fair wrist. He knew too well what those red marks represented.

    Xia Wanyuan did not notice the change in Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression. She was listening intently to the technician exin the construction procedures to her.

    ¡°I want to go in and take a look at the structure of the house. Do you want toe with me?¡± After hearing the technician¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xuan Sheng but realized that he was looking at her in a daze.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng twirled the prayer beads on his wrist and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    He had clearly told himself before he came that she was already someone else¡¯s wife.

    <i>However, why do I still want to get close to her??</i>His heart could not help but ache.

    ¡°Xuan Li is your younger brother?¡± Coincidentally, she met Xuan Sheng today, so Xia Wanyuan asked about Xuan Li.

    ¡°What younger brother? He¡¯s just someone those old fellows casually found to restrain me¡­¡± As Xuan Sheng apanied Xia Wanyuan in, he told her about the connections between the forces in Glory World Corporation.

    ¡°I see.¡± After hearing Xuan Sheng¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan roughly understood that Xuan Sheng¡¯s current situation was very awkward. ¡°If you need any help, just tell me.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯ve always wanted to ask you.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xuan Sheng finally stopped. His peach blossom-shaped eyes curved up with a seductive smile. ¡°Why are you always so good? Why don¡¯t you be cruel to me?¡±

    ¡°How? I won¡¯t be cruel to my friends.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. She had ruthless means, but that was only for her enemies.

    As for Xuan Sheng, he was in the friends category.

    Updates by vip novel.

    In fact, after saying that sentence, Xuan Sheng felt that he had said it in vain. ¡°I just think that you¡¯re too good. So good that I wanted to find a w to tell myself not to like you so much, but I couldn¡¯t find it.¡±

    ¡°But¡­¡±

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop talking. I understand what you want to say.¡± Xuan Sheng did not want to hear Jun Shiling from Xia Wanyuan anymore. He stopped her.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart. ¡°Then let¡¯s go out. I have a scene to film in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng was already quite happy to see Xia Wanyuan. He immediately apanied her out.

    There were construction works everywhere. Although there were protective belts, there were always ces that were missed.

    The two of them walked past a corner and suddenly a steel bar that supported the wall from the corner dropped.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly turned around when she heard the sound. Xuan Sheng was already behind her, blocking her. He threw the steel bar to the ground.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It just hit me a little. The steel bar isn¡¯t heavy.¡± Xuan Sheng turned his head, looking fine.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the steel bar on the ground. It was slightly thinner. Seeing that Xuan Sheng was fine, she was relieved.

    ¡°Do you need me to send you, Miss Xia?¡± When he walked to the door, Xuan Sheng knew the oue, but he still asked.

    ¡°I¡¯ll drive myself.¡± As expected, Xia Wanyuan rejected him.

    Xuan Sheng did not speak further. He stood at the door and watched quietly. Only when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car disappeared from his sight did he turn and walk into the house.

    ¡°Young Master, do you want to drink some water?¡± The assistant handed him a bottle of water. Xuan Sheng reached out.

    ¡°Aiyo, Young Master, what¡¯s wrong with your hand?! Why is it so injured?¡± The assistant looked at Xuan Sheng¡¯s palm that was almost badly mangled and was shocked.

    Xuan Sheng looked down and took the mineral water. He poured the water in his palm and felt the pain of the water seeping into his wound.

    The pole just now was indeed not heavy, but the edge of the pole was filled with curled thorns. Xuan Sheng was worried that it would smash into Xia Wanyuan, so he grabbed it with his bare hands, causing his hand to bleed.

    The assistant looked at the wound on Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand that had been flushed by the water and felt an inexplicable pain. ¡°Young Master, doesn¡¯t it hurt?¡±

    ¡°Is this called pain?¡± The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up.?<i>What was the pain in my flesh? It was less than a ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan drove to the production team. Her scenes were almost done, and there were only some scenes that needed to be filmed.

    Now that they saw Xia Wanyuane, the production team did not dare to gossip behind her back.

    After all, the previous Chen Xiaoguo who had quarreled with Xia Wanyuan had already left the production team. There was even news that Chen Xiaoguo had not participated in any activities for a long time. ording to herpany, this person might be leaving the entertainment industry.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you came at the right time. After your scene is done, take a few publicity photos.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuane, Director Wang Wei hurriedly exined things to her, in case this busy person disappeared again.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded happily and went to the dressing room to change.

    While Chen Yun was busy dealing with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s business activity, he still had to squat at the door and guard her. Looking at the pile of work in his hand, he looked up at the sky and sighed.

    He did not know when his good partner would return. Now that there were many businessmen and production teams who had invited Xia Wanyuan, Chen Yun still had toe and take care of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily needs. He was really too busy.

    ¡°Achoo.¡± Tang Yin sat in the pavilion and suddenly sneezed.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Fu Li was originally sitting a distance away from her. Seeing Tang Yin like this, he hurriedly took off his coat and handed it to Tang Yin. ¡°Are you cold? Wear this.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Tang Yin waved her hand. ¡°Didn¡¯t you catch a cold? Wear it.¡±

    Tang Yin had been living in Yunnan for a while. She had always heard that the waterfall in the mountains here was beautiful, so she wanted toe and take a breather.

    Who would have thought that the weather would change so much in this season? It was still sunny when they went out in the morning, and it was raining heavily in the afternoon.

    She and Fu Li had been sitting in the pavilion for nearly half an hour, but the rain had not stopped.

    Hearing Tang Yin¡¯s words, Fu Li could only put on his coat again.

    This mountain was an undeveloped primitive mountain area. The signal was good and weak at times. In such a heavy rain environment, the signal was so weak that one could not call, let alone have an Inte connection.

    Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, worry began to appear on Tang Yin¡¯s face. ¡°What should we do? The rain hasn¡¯t stopped. If we had known, we shouldn¡¯t havee here today.¡±

    There was no signal on her phone and it was raining heavily. If they went out rashly, they would probably bepletely lost. However, if they could not leave the mountain before dark, the temperature in the mountains would be low at night and Fu Li would catch a cold. She was afraid that his condition would worsen.

    Fu Li stood up, walked to Tang Yin, and sat down. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll apany you here.¡±

    The thing that Tang Yin was most worried about still happened. The heavy rain continued until the sky darkened. She and Fu Li werepletely trapped in the mountains.

 Chapter 790 - Rainy Night Complaint

    Chapter 790: Rainy Night Comint

    At this moment, Tang Yin realized that the silence in the dormitory was not true silence.

    In the mountains after dark, even though there was heavy rain hitting the ground and even the sound of water, it made her feel terrifyingly quiet. There was no one here, and she could not contact the outside world.

    Tang Yin wanted to switch on the light on her phone to light it up, but she was stopped by Fu Li. ¡°There are many insects and birds that seek light in the mountains. Don¡¯t attract them. If you¡¯re afraid, grab my arm.¡±

    Fu Li knew that Tang Yin was resisting the intimacy with other people¡¯s bodies now. When he tried to hand her his arm, Tang Yin indeed rejected him. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just chat with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the night without even moonlight, it was really so dark that one could not see their fingers. Tang Yin could only rely on his voice to find Fu Li¡¯s position.

    ¡°Actually, you shouldn¡¯t have followed me to Yunnan.¡± Perhaps because thepletely quiet environment and the dark surroundings had let Tang Yin put down her guard, she finally spoke to Fu Li about these things.

    ¡°Then what do you think I should do?¡± Fu Li¡¯s expression could not be seen in the darkness. One could only hear his maic voice and the sound of rain dripping on the ground, making one unconsciously feel relieved.

    ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore. With such good conditions, you should find a well-educated and pure woman to marry and have a child that belongs to you.¡± In the past, Tang Yin did not realize Fu Li¡¯s intentions for her. Now that she realized it, she could not ept his feelings.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± In the darkness, Fu Li sighed. ¡°Ah Yin, I¡¯ve been persistent for more than ten years. Do you think that my obsession for more than ten years doesn¡¯t deserve you to turn back at all?¡±

    Tang Yin¡¯s heart trembled from Fu Li¡¯s words ¡°Ah Yin¡±, and the obsession that Fu Li had said for more than ten years made her heart move.

    In these few days, Tang Yin kept thinking of the past. Then, she realized that Fu Li had never been absent at every important moment of her life.

    However, all her attention had been on Liu Xingchuan all those years and she had never given anyone else her attention.

    Updates by vip novel.

    Now that she looked back, there was actually someone who was looking at her with his entire youth.

    ¡°We¡¯re not suitable.¡± Tang Yin was silent for a long time before finally saying something.

    ¡°What¡¯s not suitable?¡± It was not easy for Tang Yin to take the initiative to mention this topic. Fu Li definitely wanted a definite answer.

    ¡°We¡¯re not suitable at all.¡±?Fu Li¡¯s family was well-off. He had been a privileged person since he was young. After entering the entertainment industry, he had good acting skills and character. He had even obtained the Best Actor at the age of thirty. Such a person should marry the most beautiful woman, not someone like me.

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s not suitable? I¡¯ll change, okay?¡± Fu Li¡¯s voice was hoarse, as if he was extremely suppressed. ¡°Ah Yin, can¡¯t you give me a chance? From the first time I saw you, I¡¯ve loved you. Until now, it has only increased day by day. How can I not bepared to Liu Xingchuan?¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯tpare to him. Actually, you¡¯re better than him in everything. You have a good family background, a good character, and a good personality.¡± When Tang Yin said this, she suddenly fell silent for a while, as if she had used a lot of strength to say, ¡°But I still like him. I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Darkness enveloped the world. Even though they were close, Fu Li could not see the expression on Tang Yin¡¯s face.

    If he touched her with his hand, he would realize that Tang Yin¡¯s face was already filled with tears.

    Tang Yin bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from crying.

    How could I still like Liu Xingchuan? That man had long existed in the past, but I could not give Fu Li hope.

    Fu Li had endless light, but what am I? I am nothing. Why should I pollute Fu Li with my broken life?

    ¡°I understand,¡± Fu Li finally said hoarsely after a while.

    No matter what had happened to Tang Yin, he could not be calctive and was willing to ept it. However, Liu Xingchuan was the only lethal point.

    If Tang Yin still liked Liu Xingchuan, then everything he insisted on was meaningless.

    ¡°You should find a gooddy.¡± Tang Yin pinched her palm hard.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave Yunnan tomorrow.¡± Fu Li smiled self-deprecatingly. ¡°Coincidentally, my mother has arranged a bunch of blind dates for me. I¡¯ll go back and go for blind dates. Are you satisfied?¡±

    ¡°You have to find a suitable person for a blind date too. Someone you like.¡± For some reason, Tang Yin felt as gloomy as a mountain in her heart. Hearing that Fu Li was going for a blind date, she felt inexplicably ufortable.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Fu Li¡¯s voice was low and he still did not give up. ¡°Liu Xingchuan is already married. Are you still going to be stubborn?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t look for him. I¡¯ll guard my memory for the rest of my life.¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± Fu Li was so angry that heughed. ¡°Can¡¯t I evenpare to a f*cking memory?!¡±

    After speaking, Fu Li realized that his tone was too fierce. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to. Here, take the clothes. Rest here and sleep for a while. I¡¯ll guard by the side.¡±

    With that, Fu Li threw the clothes into Tang Yin¡¯s arms and sat a little further away from her. He sulked.

    The heavy rain was still falling. Tang Yin originally thought that she could not sleep in such an environment. Who would have thought that with Fu Li¡¯s clothes covering her, not long after, she fell into a deep sleep?

    The moment the morning sun emerged from the peak of the mountain, Tang Yin woke up. The air after the rain was especially fresh. Tang Yin took a deep breath. The faint smell of smoke from Fu Li¡¯s clothes entered her nose.

    Tang Yin turned around. Fu Li had fallen asleep leaning on the pir at some point in time. Although he was already over thirty years old, time had only left a stable sediment on Fu Li¡¯s face. It did not affect his handsome face at all. Through the morning sun, Fu Li¡¯s side profile appeared even more deep and handsome.

    Tang Yin looked at Fu Li¡¯s face. It was unknown what she was thinking. For a moment, she did not realize that he had already opened his eyes.

    Fu Li seemed to have slept badly, and his eyes were still bloodshot. He stood up, looked at the morning sun, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, he walked to Tang Yin. ¡°Are you asleep? Give me the clothes.¡±

    ¡°Okay, here.¡± Tang Yin sat up and handed the jacket to Fu Li. She leaned against the railing and slept, unable to turn over. Only when Tang Yin moved did she realize that half of her body had already gone numb. Her body fell to the ground uncontrobly.

    Fu Li hurriedly stepped forward and picked Tang Yin up. He helped her sit at the side and massaged her legs. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m much better. We can go.¡± Tang Yin moved around and felt that there was no problem.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Fu Li stood up and maintained a distance from Tang Yin. His expression was rather cold.

    The sunlight shone on the entire mountain. Fu Li and Tang Yin slowly walked down the mountain. However, in this long journey, the two of them did not speak a word.

 Chapter 791 - Daughters Name

    Chapter 791: Daughter¡¯s Name

    After returning to the dormitory that day, Fu Li bought a ne ticket and returned to Beijing.

    Seeing that Fu Li had thought things through, Tang Yin did not have anything to worry about. After Fu Li left, she bought a ne ticket and left Yunnan.

    When Chen Yun saw Tang Yin return, he was simply so happy that he was about to cry. ¡°Tang Yin, you don¡¯t know how busy I¡¯ve been during this period of time. Fortunately, you¡¯re back. Otherwise, I would have been exhausted to death in thepany.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t I back now?¡± Tang Yin looked very energetic. ¡°Come, if there are any activities recently, bring them over for me to take a look.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing Tang Yin¡¯s energetic appearance, Chen Yun was relieved. To think that he was so worried, afraid that Tang Yin would take things too hard. Looking at her current state, she had probably already adjusted.

    Chen Yun went to get the information for Tang Yin happily. Xia Wanyuan nced at Tang Yin, but her eyes were filled with worry.

    When Tang Yin left back then, her condition was simply terrifyingly low. How could she be so happy after going out to y? Unless Tang Yin buried all her emotions deep in her heart and did not want others to see them.

    Tang Yin did not want them to know, so Xia Wanyuan pretended not to know anything. She only secretly sent Fu Li a WeChat message in private.

    Fu Li replied quickly.

    ¡°I¡¯m on a blind date. Let¡¯s talkter.¡±

    Looking at this message, Xia Wanyuan was stunned.?This Fu Li didn¡¯t look like someone who was superficial. What had happened between him and Tang Yin? Fu Li was actually willing to go for a blind date<i>.</i>

    ¡°Do you mind having a meal together tonight?¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and decided to understand more.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Li replied quickly.

    Updates by vip novel.

    Putting away her phone, Xia Wanyuan chatted with Tang Yin about work as usual. When it was time for lunch, Xia Wanyuan nced at Tang Yin and casually asked, ¡°Tang Yin, do you know that person, Zhang Yuan?¡±

    ¡°Zhang Yuan?¡± At the mention of this person, Tang Yin frowned. ¡°So what if I know her?¡±

    ¡°Oh, Yan Ci is too embarrassed to ask. He asked me to ask you how Zhang Yuan is like,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she quietly observed Tang Yin¡¯s expression.

    ¡°How did Yan Ci get involved with Zhang Yuan?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not Yan Ci. I heard that Yan Ci¡¯s senior brother is going on a blind date with Zhang Yuan. Yan Ci wants to help his senior brother understand in advance.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Tang Yin¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Zhang Yuan is not a gooddy. How can he go on a blind date with Zhang Yuan? Why are his parents like this?¡±

    ¡°Tang Yin, why are you so annoyed?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Tang Yin¡¯s suddenly anxious appearance and had some ns in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. ¡°It¡¯s Yan Ci¡¯s senior brother, why are you so anxious for him?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel that Zhang Yuan isn¡¯t a good person. Tell Yan Ci that it¡¯s best to let his senior brother understand Zhang Yuan¡¯s private life more before making a decision.¡± Tang Yin did not dare to look into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes and lowered her head to say.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and didn¡¯t speak further.

    Once again, he received a text message from Xia Wanyuan saying ¡°I¡¯m not going home for dinner¡±. Jun Shiling helplessly sent an emoticon that ignored her. Xia Wanyuan returned the emoticon with a hug.

    Jun Shiling called her directly. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, you¡¯re too much. You don¡¯t go home every day, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was baffled by this huge pot. ¡°When did I not go home every day? It was only two or three times. What are you saying?¡±

    ¡°Then I don¡¯t care. If you don¡¯t eat with me, I won¡¯t be able to eat.¡± Jun Shiling mainly did not want Xia Wanyuan to see a man alone.

    ¡°Then stay hungry,¡± Xia Wanyuan said in amusement. Even so, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart softened. ¡°Come and pick me up. I¡¯ll go back after talking to him, okay?¡±

    ]¡±Okay.¡± Jun Shiling agreed happily after getting what he wanted.

    Xia Wanyuan had just sat down when Fu Li arrived at the dining room.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Fu Li looked much more haggard, but he could not hide his elegant bearing.

    ¡°Senior Fu, let¡¯s cut to the chase. Have you decided to go on a blind date? Are you really preparing to start a new life?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that her impression of people was not bad. Fu Li did not look like someone who could fall in love so quickly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve talked to her openly. She said she still likes Liu Xingchuan. I don¡¯t want to pester her anymore.¡± Fu Li sighed, unable to hide the loneliness in his eyes.

    ¡°Senior Fu, are you willing to ept a scene? After acting in this scene, maybe you can get the person you want the most.¡± Looking at Fu Li¡¯s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that Fu Li definitely did not let go of Tang Yin.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Fu Li looked at the youngdy in front of him in surprise.

    ¡°Just listen to me,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she took out a piece of paper and began to tell Fu Li about her n.

    ¡°Is this okay?¡± Fu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan hesitantly. ¡°She likes Liu Xingchuan. Why would she choose me?¡±

    ¡°You can choose not to believe me.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a confident look.¡± ¡±. If it was before Tang Yin went to Yunnan, Xia Wanyuan could not understand her thoughts. However, when Tang Yin came back looking happy, Xia Wanyuan could be sure of what Tang Yin was thinking.

    ¡°I believe you.¡± Fu Li took the paper from Xia Wanyuan. No matter the oue, at least he wanted to try.

    Xia Wanyuan rejected Fu Li¡¯s suggestion to treat her to the meal and walked out of the restaurant. The Phantom was waiting by the roadside.

    ¡°Little liar, you took so long toe out.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    ¡°Am I not busy with Tang Yin¡¯s matters?¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s back. ¡°CEO Jun, please forgive me.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so busy every day. When will you be busy with my matters?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was bitter. He was dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions of worrying about others every day.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re so amazing, why do you need me to worry?¡± Xia Wanyuan really couldn¡¯t think of anything that Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t resolve.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s affirmation, Jun Shiling was very happy. He leaned towards Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°I can¡¯t settle the matter of giving birth to a daughter alone.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s words. Jun Shiling had thought that she would push him away shyly as usual, but he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to think seriously.

    ¡°I¡¯m busy now. Wait for a while.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so good?¡± Jun Shiling was teasing Xia Wanyuan. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to really consider this. ¡°I¡¯ve already thought of our daughter¡¯s name.¡±

    ¡°When did you think of it?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement.

    ¡°Just now.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan said that she would give birth to a daughter soon,

    ¡°Then what should her name be? Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Jun Muxia.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan on hisp. ¡°Does it sound good?¡±

 Chapter 792: Fencing World Championship

    Chapter 792: Fencing World Championship

    ¡°How can you be so straightforward?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed to hear this name, but her eyes were sparkling.

    ¡°She doesn¡¯t know how to speak. I¡¯ll name her whatever I say. Jun Miss Xia, Jun Loves Xia is fine. You can choose whichever you like.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with gentleness in his eyes.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when the timees. Let¡¯s not talk about this now.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little flustered by Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. The two of them had done the most intimate thing, but Xia Wanyuan still could not bear Jun Shiling¡¯s burning gaze.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you. I¡¯ll sleep with you after dinner today and have a good rest.¡± Xia Wanyuan had indeed been tired the past two days.

    However, after dinner, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s idea of sleeping early was shattered.

    First, Master Danny asked for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number from the principal. On the phone, Master Danny expressed his intention to take Xia Wanyuan in as a disciple.

    Regarding this, Xia Wanyuan asked, ¡°Master, what about your other disciple?¡±

    Master Danny¡¯s answer was, ¡°Both of you are my disciples.¡±

    Hearing Master Danny¡¯s answer, Xia Wanyuan directly rejected him. She was not petty enough to enter the same sect as the person who had stolen her painting.

    Just as Master Danny hung up the phone, Xia Wanyuan received an anonymous message on her phone. It suggested that as long as Xia Wanyuan did not be Master Danny¡¯s disciple, she could receive a series of benefits. Although it was anonymous, Xia Wanyuan knew that this was from Lin Man when she saw these benefits.

    Xia Wanyuan threw her phone aside and smiled nonchntly.

    These people really think highly of themselves. Initially, she had some admiration for the so-called Master Danny. After this matter, this person had been reduced to a second-rate person by Xia Wanyuan.

    As for Lin Man, it was quite funny to think that she could do whatever she wanted with the name of the Blue family.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan stretched and called out.

    Jun Shiling immediately walked out of the study. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sleepy. Sleep, hug.¡± It was alreadyte autumn, and the night was getting colder. Jun Shiling was warm, and Xia Wanyuan could not leave him when she slept at night.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, Jun Shiling did not even bother to turn off theputer. He stepped forward and picked her up. ¡°Why are you so good at acting coquettishly? You¡¯re like a kitten. You can¡¯t leave me even for a while.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t see the smug smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    ¡°Be good, baby.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his voice, looking even gentler. ¡°Goodnight, love you.¡±

    ¡°I love you too.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been embarrassed to express these things in the past, but now, when she spoke these words, it was as natural as drinking water. It was probably a natural expression of her emotions.

    The autumn rain was cold. The autumn rain at night lowered the temperature of the next day by a few degrees, and the autumn wind gradually dyed the leaves of the north yellow.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan woke up, she felt that the temperature was a little lower than usual. Jun Shiling helped her put on a thin knitted shirt.

    ¡°Will it be winter soon?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the yellow leaves that were gradually falling outside and felt a little expectant.

    ording to the books, it would snow in Beijing in the winter. Xia Wanyuan liked snow very much.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s longing expression, Jun Shiling, who had always been indifferent to the changes of the four seasons, felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation for winter.

    After breakfast, Xia Wanyuan came to school directly. However, just as she reached the door, she was pulled into the car by Principal Yang.

    ¡°Principal Yang, where are we going?¡± Seeing Principal Yang¡¯s anxious expression, Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to a meeting. Come with me. You know Master Danny and Li Na, right? You were the one who helped receive them.¡± Principal Yang actually looked a little unhappy when he spoke about the two of them.

    ¡°Yes, why?¡± Xia Wanyuan sensed Principal Yang¡¯s emotions and was a little curious. What did Principal Yang have against them?

    ¡°They didn¡¯te to China because of academic exchange at all. The two of them came for the reputation of the young ambassador of China. We definitely can¡¯t let them steal the limelight. Come with me.¡±

    This year was the anniversary of the establishment of the China-America exchange. China and America wanted to use this opportunity to deepen their cooperation. In order to increase the publicity, both sides wanted to choose a young ambassador with significance.

    It was not too suitable to choose this ambassador from the economics or political regions. After all, they had a certain inclination. Only people from cultural aspects were not controversial and sounded good.

    Principal Yang had only received the newsst night. Only then did he know that Master Danny and Li Na were here for this.

    China and America were the two strongest countries in the current world situation. Bing the young ambassador of China would be equivalent to showing their faces to the world. The publicity news of these two countries would bring the face of this ambassador to the world.

    ¡°¡­¡± After hearing Principal Yang¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless. ¡°The country won¡¯t choose an especially young person to go up, right?¡±

    How could such an important position be handed to people in their twenties? No matter what, they should be people who had passed their thirties and were more stable.

    ¡°You don¡¯t understand. If we only choose our country¡¯s people, we might choose the respected ones in the country. However, this is international. In addition, haven¡¯t we been advocating formunication between young schrs in the past few years? This time, both sides are interested in finding a young person to represent them.¡± No matter how Principal Yang looked at it, he felt that Xia Wanyuan could fight for this position.

    ¡°Alright,¡± Since she was already pulled into the car, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t say anything else.

    The car quickly arrived at its destination. Principal Yang tidied his clothes and got out of the car with Xia Wanyuan.

    Walking through a hall, the staff sent a few forms to Principal Yang. Principal Yang called Xia Wanyuan to fill them in and then brought her back to the car.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the energetic Principal and asked, ¡°That¡¯s it?¡±

    ¡°No, this is just an application form. Go back and wait for news. Train your English well recently and learn more from the foreignnguage department¡¯s teachers. If you¡¯re chosen, our Qing University can show our face. Come on, Xiao Xia. You¡¯re now our walking student recruitment card.¡± Principal Yang looked at Xia Wanyuan with love.

    ¡°Principal, I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Xia Wanyuan got up early in the morning and was a little helpless that someone suddenly conferred her such a title.

    ¡°Oh, right, I suddenly thought of something.¡± The car passed by Beijing Garden and they saw the elders doing their morning exercise. Principal Yang suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten.

    ¡°The coach of the national fencing team looked for me and asked me if you could follow them to thepetition. The coach thinks that your fencing skills are very good.¡±

    ¡°Fencing?¡± Xia Wanyuan recalled thepetition at the school stadium. ¡°No problem. Whatpetition?¡±

    ¡°World championships for fencing.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

 Chapter 793 Love Variety Show

    <h1>Chapter 793: Love Variety Show</h1>

    Speaking of this, Principal Yang was a little puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s what he really told me. He asked you to participate in the World Championships, although I don¡¯t understand why he directly made you participate in such argepetition.¡±

    ¡°I can do it.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Um, there¡¯s something else. The teachers from the oil painting ss came to chat with me yesterday. They wanted to ask if you had time to teach them. When those students saw your painting ¡®Sunflower¡¯, they were extremely impressed.¡±

    Principal Yang¡¯s voice became softer and softer as he spoke. Clearly, he felt that he had given Xia Wanyuan too many tasks, but he had no choice. Who asked Xia Wanyuan to be so amazing? Everyone wanted to ask him for her.

    ¡°That¡¯s fine, but can I decide the time of the ss myself?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that the process of teaching was also a self-learning process. She was still not very familiar with the theoretical knowledge of Western oil paintings, so she could use the lesson to learn it herself.

    ¡°No problem!¡± Principal Yang was already overjoyed that Xia Wanyuan could agree. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I got the school to specially apply for a subsidy. Although the money isn¡¯t much, it¡¯s still the school¡¯s intention.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan usually did not decline sses. She felt that it was very meaningful to teach what she knew to others.

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Lin had been chatting with Wei Zimu for the past few days. Seeing that Wei Zimu was bing more and more interested in her in the chat, An Lin smiled smugly.

    <em>It was just Bo Xiao. He was far inferior to the young master of the Wei family.</em>

    ¡°Morning, Junior. Thest time I heard you say that the school canteen was not delicious, I got my restaurant to send you food on time every day.¡± An Lin had just clicked on Wei Zimu¡¯s message when the doorbell rang.

    An Lin opened the door. Four or five chefs were lined up with exquisite breakfasts in their hands.

    ¡°Miss An, we were sent by Young Master Wei. Have a good meal.¡±

    An Lin looked at the exquisite breakfast that was like carved jade. She had to admit that her vanity as a woman was greatly satisfied.

    Picking up a prawn ball and feeding it to her mouth, An Lin replied to Wei Zimu, ¡°Thank you, Senior. I¡¯m very happy.¡±

    Wei Zimu took the opportunity to suggest a meeting this weekend, so An Lin was naturally more than willing.

    An Lin revealed her and Wei Zimu¡¯s development to Mother An very ¡°obediently¡±.

    After knowing that the young master of the Wei family was pursuing An Lin, Mother An was extremely happy. The Wei family had an unimaginable influence locally. With the Wei family as a connection, Father An¡¯s position as an official had a chance to rise again.

    Thinking that because of An Lin, she could straighten her back in the An family in the future, Mother An doted on her even more as if she was her biological daughter. As for An Rao, who had not replied to any news until now, Mother An treated it as if she had never given birth to this daughter.

    Meanwhile, in Beijing, An Rao did not know that she had been cklisted in her biological mother¡¯s heart.

    She was busy filming advertisements. Not far away, Bo Xiao was sitting with her to film.

    ¡°Wow, Sister An, your boyfriend is so handsome.¡± The makeup artist secretly nced at Bo Xiao as she helped An Rao touch up her makeup.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I¡¯ve always heard that you dated an especially handsome officer, Sister An. I finally saw him today. He¡¯s indeed so handsome and treats you so well. He actually apanied you to work.¡± The photographer leaned over to gossip.

    Hearing everyone¡¯s praise for Bo Xiao, An Rao felt very happy. She could not help but smile. ¡°Thank you. He came over since he had nothing to do at home.¡±

    Bo Xiao was originally looking down at his phone when he suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something. As expected, he met An Rao¡¯s gaze and smiled at her. He narrowed his fox-like eyes and lowered his head again.

    On An Rao¡¯s side, Bo Xiao¡¯s smile caused a pile of screams.

    An Rao had filmed the advertisement for a long time, but Bo Xiao did not find it troublesome. He waited by the side until the moon was high in the sky before An Rao ended the filming.

    ¡°Have you waited long?¡± An Rao jumped in front of Bo Xiao, but Bo Xiao suddenly put away his phone, as if there was something he could not let An Rao see.

    An Rao looked at him in confusion. Bo Xiao put away his phone and knocked her forehead. ¡°Don¡¯t think nonsense. I can¡¯t show it to you now. You¡¯ll know in the future.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao rubbed her head. ¡°Don¡¯t knock me. What if you knock me silly?¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled and reached out to rub it gently. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll rub it back. You¡¯re not silly anymore.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home. I¡¯m so hungry.¡± An Rao was easily coaxed by Bo Xiao. She happily hugged his arm and walked out. Bo Xiao allowed her to drag him and had a doting smile on his face.

    Not long after they left,

    The trending topic ¡°Bo Xiao waits for An Rao at the production team¡± appeared on the rankings.

    A blogger who imed to be a member of the production team uploaded a pile of photos. They were taken when Bo Xiao was waiting for An Rao in the production team.

    Although the quality of the picture was bad, Bo Xiao¡¯s face was still extremely eye-catching under the high blurry quality.

    [ Oh my god, Bo Xiao is so handsome. I¡¯m crying. The country owes me a soldier. ]

    [ Am I the only one who noticed that Bo Xiao hasn¡¯t been impatient since morning until night? ]

    [ The person in front, to be honest, I noticed it too. Bo Xiao is really patient. Goddess boyfriend, look at mine, forget it, I¡¯m not looking anymore. How annoying. ]

    Everyone had not finished eating the dog food.

    Soon, another staff member uploaded a video. In the video, Bo Xiao first knocked An Rao¡¯s forehead with a look of disdain, then massaged her with an indulgent expression. In the end, An Rao skipped and pulled Bo Xiao away.

    [ F*ck, after this video was released, I was almost frightened to death by that silly smile on the phone. ]

    [ Lemon surrounded me. It¡¯s too immersive. I¡¯ve already been massaged by Bo Xiao. Goodbye. ]

    [ Oh my god, oh my god, I really used to think that An Rao was a coquettish slut, but through variety shows and the way Bo Xiao treated her, I now know that An Rao is just a stupid and cute little cutie wearing a snake spirit skin. Wahhh, I want to rub her head too. ]

    Although theizens were all single dogs, on the path of dog food, everyone always wanted to eat more.

    Over the years, reality variety programs had been very popr in the country.

    One of the most popr programs was ¡°We¡¯re in Love¡±. This program mainly invited celebrities who had already announced their rtionship to the public. By recording their daily lives, it satisfied the audience¡¯s curiosity about celebrity love.

    As theizens ate Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s dog food, someone suddenly suggested.

    ¡°Can ¡®We¡¯re in Love¡¯ invite An Rao and Bo Xiao over as guests? I really want to see the daily lives of the officer and his beautiful little wife. I¡¯m begging the production team to arrange it!!!!!¡±

    Everyone quickly agreed once this was said.

 Chapter 794 Annoying Princess

    <h1>Chapter 794: Annoying Princess</h1>

    Every time they watched Bo Xiao pping An Rao¡¯s head and rubbing her head, they would be even more determined to see the two of them show off their love.

    The topic ¡°kneeling and begging An Rao and Bo Xiao to participate in the dating variety program¡± quickly fermented. Apanied by the video of Bo Xiao knocking her head, it exploded on the Inte.

    ¡°What the hell is a love variety show? Why would I participate in that?¡± When she received a call from her manager, An Rao was fighting in King of Glory.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you always say that you¡¯re busy with work and don¡¯t have time to be intimate with that person in your family? I¡¯m giving you a chance now. Go and date openly and you even get money. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±

    The manager hit the nail on the head, but she still had to seek Bo Xiao¡¯s opinion.

    ¡°Variety show? If you want to go, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Bo Xiao had no objections. The old leader was morex with him. He could just inform him about this matter in advance.

    Bo Xiao had no objections, so An Rao went to reply to her manager.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Then prepare yourselves properly. I¡¯ll inform you when the timees.¡± The manager usually found Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s daily interactions interesting. He could foresee how much poprity this variety show would bring to An Rao. It was probably a wave of public dog food.

    ¡ª¡ª

    There was a major event that shocked all the major families in the past few days, and that was Old Madam Wei¡¯s seventieth birthday.

    All the famous people in the country had received invitations.

    Xia Wanyuan had been very busy recently, and the Old Madam had not looked for her. However, it was almost her seventieth birthday. Before the birthday banquet, the Old Madam finally called her.

    However, she only said, ¡°Your clothes need to be dignified and well-mannered.¡±

    ¡°What do you think Old Madam means?¡± Xia Wanyuan thought about what Old Madam had said and looked at Jun Shiling. Old Madam Wei was not bored enough to tell her alone to be more dignified when she came to eat.

    ¡°Perhaps she wants to announce your identity to everyone.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts coincided with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    ¡°Then do you think it¡¯s appropriate to tell everyone now that I¡¯m the granddaughter of the Wei family?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned. The tall trees attracted the wind. Although she was not afraid of the wind and rain, all sorts of mosquitoes came against the wind and were unable to resist.

    ¡°It¡¯s not suitable. I¡¯ll be there when the timees. Leave it to me.¡± It was necessary for Jun Shiling to personally attend the Wei family¡¯s birthday banquet.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Since Jun Shiling had said so, Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate anymore.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly sighed.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him suspiciously. There must be a reason for the abnormality. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you again?¡±

    ¡°Have you seen Weibo? Bo Xiao is going to film variety shows with An Rao on television.¡± Jun Shiling clearly hinted at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t you go on television every day too?¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored his hint.

    ¡°I want to go too.¡± Jun Shiling also wanted to dere his sovereignty of Xia Wanyuan in front of the world.

    ¡°Go, I won¡¯t stop you.¡± Xia Wanyuan slept under the nket and waved at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling stood up and walked over, letting Xia Wanyuan hug him tightly. ¡°When can I show off my love to you openly? Is it time?¡±

    If she announced her rtionship now, who would dare to say that Xia Wanyuan was not worthy of him? Xia Wanyuan had already used her ability to make everyone realize how outstanding she was.

    ¡°Just wait. I¡¯ve already thought of when to announce it.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and consciously found the best sleeping position in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Just reveal it. When?¡± Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and whispered softly. The heat sprayed on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, causing her tough coquettishly.

    ¡°I¡¯m not telling you.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and snuggled in his arms. Soon, she fell asleep in peace.

    Jun Shiling was left alone to sleep but could not sleep. He could not figure out when Xia Wanyuan was preparing to let him go out and meet people.

    Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan, who was sleeping soundly, and smiled helplessly. ¡°What a torturer.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the hotel, Li Na and Lin Man sat opposite each other.

    ¡°Mother, Xia Wanyuan rejected Teacher and did not want to be his disciple. We should be relieved.¡±

    ¡°Who knows what she thinks? That woman isn¡¯t easy to deal with. I¡¯m just afraid that she¡¯ll leak the Starry Sky painting incident.¡±

    ¡°Mother, don¡¯t worry. The original picture is in Teacher¡¯s hands. Even if Xia Wanyuanes out and says that it has been switched, there¡¯s no evidence to prove it, as long as Teacher doesn¡¯t take the painting out.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Lin Man had forgotten about Master Danny¡¯s side. Back then, those paintings had already been delivered to Master Danny. As long as he didn¡¯t take them out, Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t be able to convince everyone no matter how hard she tried.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect that a casual form would actually receive a response to advancement.

    With Principal Yang¡¯s eager anticipation, Xia Wanyuan went to the building that Principal Yang had brought her tost time in a daze.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what a coincidence.¡± Li Na did not expect to bump into Xia Wanyuan again. She really wondered if Xia Wanyuan was targeting her.

    <em>1</em>

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want to pay much attention to such thieves, but Li Na followed her. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re going to run for the ambassador position too? I heard that you don¡¯t even have any experiencemunicating abroad, right?¡±

    What she meant was that,<em>you had never studied in America, so how were you qualified to run for ambassador?</em>

    ¡°I¡¯m indeed not as experienced as you, and I¡¯m not as experienced as you as a thief.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never believed in so-called superficial etiquette. If Li Na stole her things, she did not deserve any respect from her.

    ¡°You! I¡¯m giving you face by using your painting.¡± Li Na was angered by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and left after saying this.

    <em>1</em>

    Xia Wanyuan watched Li Na leave with a flick of her sleeves, her eyes cold.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the selection hall, there were already many people sitting in it. Everyone who came today was outstanding. Xia Wanyuan found a seat in the corner and sat.

    The selection used a structured interview method.

    Every time they drew a person, they had to enter the examination room and be questioned by the interviewer.

    The others were very nervous as they prepared. Only Xia Wanyuan did not care about this matter.

    After all, she had been pushed over by Principal Yang halfway. She did not even know what this ambassador did.

    When they drew Xia Wanyuan, she was still reading the Zhi Yin magazine that the cleaning auntie had ced there.

    Xia Wanyuan came out not long after entering. It was about ten minutes.

    This kind of selection would consider the various qualities of the people. Normally, it would take a long time. It was only normal for it to take more than half an hour. For someone like Xia Wanyuan, who was out in ten minutes, everyone took a look and knew that Xia Wanyuan was definitely doomed.

    <h4>Chapter 795: Princess was First; Li Na Copsed</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion was different from everyone else. She felt that there was nothing wrong with the interview. After all, the identity of the interviewer sitting inside was a little unexpected.

    God knew how hard Xia Wanyuan controlled herughter when she met the pair of eyes that had been looking at her affectionately an hour ago.

    The interviewers were clearly led by Jun Shiling. No one else spoke, but Jun Shiling asked her a question. ¡°What do you think of the word ¡®youth¡¯?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan exined ording to her understanding. Jun Shiling nodded in approval, then gestured for Xia Wanyuan to leave. The interview, which others thought was as difficult as ascending the heavens, was easily passed by Xia Wanyuan.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name was on the advancement list.

    Looking at her name on the screen, Xia Wanyuan had mixed feelings.

    <i>Is this considered as using connections??</i>

    ¡°Pfft, stop looking. You can¡¯t be thest ambassador. You don¡¯t even have the experience of going abroad tomunicate.¡± After tearing apart thatyer of skin, Li Na no longer hid her disgust for Xia Wanyuan. In this disgust, there was a hint of jealousy.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t care. What¡¯s important is that you can¡¯t be.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Li Na hade to China for this spot.

    She did not care about the position of ambassador, but since Li Na had stolen her painting, she would never let Li Na sessfully get this spot.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Li Na scoffed at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.?<i>I have the support of the Blue family and Master Danny¡¯s protection. I have to get this spot.</i>

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to leave. She took a step forward and stopped. She turned around and smiled at Li Na. ¡°Goodbye, thief.¡±

    Li Na was so angry that her heart choked. She had been praised for her good character and education since she was young. When had she ever been called a thief? These words were too harsh.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Shiling was waiting for her in the car.

    ¡°Your performance today was not bad.¡± The moment Xia Wanyuan got into the car, Jun Shiling began to praise her.

    ¡°Why are you opening this back door for me? What¡¯s the use of my status as an ambassador?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat in the car and consciously ced her leg on Jun Shiling¡¯sp for him to massage.

    ¡°It¡¯s useful. This identity is much more dazzling than any champion. This is a chance for you to show the world your face. Besides, aren¡¯t you too humble towards yourself? I wanted to get you in through the back door, but your performance was too good. How could I have a chance?¡± Jun Shiling patiently massaged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs.

    ¡°Is answering a question considered good performance?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little confused by the judges.

    ¡°Clear logic, nimble thinking, natural and unrestrained. Outstanding appearance, dignified and polite with a strong aura. If this isn¡¯t good, then who is?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was skeptical. She had a feeling that Jun Shiling was framing her.

    The selection for this round would be handed to the national level for the selection. For this group of people who advanced, the country would organize another selection meeting to select the final ambassador.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan was still in ss when the school received the final test notice. Principal Yang knew that Xia Wanyuan had entered the final test and was about to float when he walked.

    <i>The Xia Wanyuan we had unintentionally recruited was too hardworking. How much glory had she brought to our school?</i>

    Facing Principal Yang¡¯s earnest exhortations, Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Principal, it might not be me who¡¯ll be the ambassador eventually. Aren¡¯t you too happy now?¡±

    ¡°I have confidence in you. I have a feeling that you can definitely do it.¡± Principal Yang had a kind of honey trust in Xia Wanyuan.

    Just like that, with the eager hopes of the school leaders, Xia Wanyuan went to the venue of the final test and met Li Na again. This time, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even look at her properly, making Li Na furious.

    There were a total of ten contestants in the final test. They still used structured interviews, but there were some group discussions in the middle.

    Xia Wanyuan had never felt that she would be chosen for this, so her mentality was especially calm. She basically answered whatever she thought of without any hesitation.

    When the contestants were interviewing, the recording was open to the relevant leaders the entire time. They also had votes in their hands. In the end, they wouldbine the leaders¡¯ votes with the examiners¡¯ votes to determine the final candidate.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect that an interview would take up a day. The questions of the examiners were strange and all-epassing. They suddenly wanted to trap the contestants. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mentality was good, and she calmly countered every move.

    At five in the afternoon, the day¡¯s interview finally ended.

    ¡°Everyone, wait a moment. We¡¯ll calcte the scores now. Everyone, confirm before leaving.¡±

    Another hour of waiting. At six in the afternoon, the examiner finally arrived with everyone¡¯s results.

    ¡°Although everyone is outstanding, I¡¯m sorry to say that we can only choose the one who suits the most in this ambassador selection. Congrattions, Miss Xia Wanyuan, for sessfully standing out with a high score of 95 points. The selection process is open to the public and done under everyone¡¯s supervision. If there are no objections, please sign on the report card and you can leave the venue.¡±

    ¡°I have a question.¡± Li Na raised her hand.

    ¡°Miss Li Na, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The examiner smiled and walked to Li Na.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the Chinese ambassador for America be the bridge between the two countries¡¯ cultures? This Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even have the chance to study abroad. Why can she enter this selection? I doubt the fairness of the selection.¡±

    When Li Na said this, the other contestants from America also expressed their displeasure.

    The examiner looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information and boldly asked everyone to stop themotion. ¡°Miss Xia Wanyuan has just been recruited by the International Painter Association as a permanent member. Furthermore, Miss Xia¡¯s songs are ranked in the top ten on America rankings. If she¡¯s not considered a bridge between the two countries¡¯ cultures, then what do you think is?¡±

    ¡°What? A member of the International Painter Association?!!¡± Li Na shouted in disbelief.

    The International Painter Association was a ce that many painters dreamed of. Master Danny had entered the association when he was 40 years old and had already set a record for the association.?<i>How old was Xia Wanyuan?? How was this possible?!</i>

    Not only was Li Na shocked, but even Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. She had never applied for a member, and she had only heard the name of this member once from Lin Man.

    Today was destined to be an extraordinary day. When Xia Wanyuan participated in the interview without knowing anything, the international painting industry had already exploded because of the new member list released by the Painter Association.

    This association that represented the most important association in the international painting world had actually recruited a young female painter who was only 22 years old, from China, and even specialized in Chinese painting.

    <h4>Chapter 796: Bing Famous Overnight</h4>

    When Xia Wanyuan left the building for the test, the door was already surrounded by reporters who had heard the news.

    ¡°Miss Xia, may I know how you became a member of the International Painter Association? Can you tell me?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, I heard that you¡¯re now the young ambassador for China and America. Can you tell us your thoughts?¡± The reporters surrounded her in waves.

    Fortunately, Jun Shiling had long sent bodyguards over to protect Xia Wanyuan and leave.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the car and called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Did you do the International Painter Association incident?¡±

    ¡°Baby, I didn¡¯t. I said I wouldn¡¯t interfere with your matters. Why would I do this?¡± Jun Shiling had only just learned that Xia Wanyuan had been recruited into the International Painter Association. He was about to get someone to investigate when he received a call from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright,e back early tonight.¡± Knowing that Jun Shiling did not do it, Xia Wanyuan did not probe further.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯lle back after I¡¯m done with this proposal.¡± Jun Shiling felt that his interaction with Xia Wanyuan now had a hint of an old couple.

    In Continent M, at the headquarters of the International Painter Association, everyone was sitting around the meeting table.

    ¡°Mr. Lison, forgive me for not understanding. Our association is famous for our high standards. Why must we ept such a youngdy?¡±

    The man sitting at the front of the meeting table had a kind expression and a head of white hair, but his eyes hid the myriad of storms in the world.

    ¡°What do you think of the paintings on the screen?¡± Mr. Lison said as he showed the paintings on the screen.

    The morning fog, the warm sunflowers, and the vast starry sky made one feel the vitality that burst forth from the surface.

    .

    ¡°This painting technique is stillcking some skills, but the use of color is indeed superb.¡± Everyone looked at these few paintings and nodded.

    ¡°Then what about these few paintings?¡± As Mr. Lison spoke, a few more paintings appeared on the screen.

    This time, it was different from the Western painting from before. Instead, it was andscape painting of the East. The ovepping colors and the structure of space made everyone nod.

    ¡°This painting is indeed not bad. Is it from that new student?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Mr. Lison nodded. Seeing that the members seemed to have something to say, he said, ¡°I know you want to say that she doesn¡¯t have enough experience. Then I want to ask you a question. What do you think of China¡¯s current development?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s unstoppable,¡± a member who knew about economics spoke first. ¡°When the economy develops to a certain extent, it will definitely drive culture to spread worldwide.¡±

    ¡°China is currently in the midst of a transformation, and China¡¯s culture is still flourishing worldwide. Since Xia Wanyuan has this ability, why don¡¯t we prepare a piece of soil for her in advance? I think this youngdy is promising.¡±

    Mr. Lison¡¯s words instantly convinced a group of core members present.

    As the first person to embrace Chinese culture, when China¡¯s culture rose, their association would be the first to enjoy the dividend.

    ¡°Mr. Lison, you¡¯re still the one who thinks long term.¡±

    ¡°I agree with you. By recruiting a youngdy into the association, we can also announce to the world that as long as they have talent, our association will wee them.¡±

    More and more people began to vote in agreement. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s admission to the International Painter Association was approved.

    On the domestic socialworks, the news of Xia Wanyuan entering the International Painter Association had already been flooded.

    In order to helpizens who did not know the international Painter Association understand the difference, the media directly quoted Master Danny¡¯s example.

    ¡°How amazing is this association?? Master Danny entered the International Painter Association at the age of 40 and made the record for the lowest entry age of the association. Of course, this record has been broken by Xia Wanyuan. Anyone in this association is an ancient and dazzling big shot painter.¡±

    Some time ago, all the marketing ounts had praised Master Danny¡¯s name in all sorts of ways, wanting to dig up Master Danny and Li Na¡¯s eighteen generations and teach them. This led to the public understanding of Master Danny¡¯s power.

    Now that everyone had mentioned Master Danny, everyone knew that he was an internationally famous painter. And Xia Wanyuan had broken his entry record. Everyone understood that Xia Wanyuan was even more amazing than Master Danny!

    [ What did Xia Wanyuan eat growing up? Why does she know everything? I can¡¯t let my mother see this Weibo post. I feel likepared to Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯m like a piece of trash. ]

    [ The person in front, why would you be so irrational andpare yourself to Xia Wanyuan? From the first round, we¡¯ve already lost. ]

    [ I study art. If an art student can enter the International Painter Association in this life, they won¡¯t have to worry about it anymore. They¡¯ll definitely seed. Xia Wanyuan is only 22 years old. Oh my god, what kind of godly script did Nuwa give her? ]

    Everyone was celebrating, but Master Danny and Li Na were not happy at all.

    Master Danny was also a member of the association. Mr. Lison had called him this morning about the painting being swapped. He could only say that he had not realized it, but the reason was clearly veryme.

    Mr. Lison was a little angry, but on ount of Master Danny¡¯s advanced age, if this matter was leaked, his lifelong reputation would be ruined. Mr. Lison chose to help him hide it, but Mr. Lison also gave him an ultimatum and did not allow him to stay in China anymore.

    Li Na only saw the news after leaving the building. She did not expect that Xia Wanyuan, whom she had looked down on after working so hard for so long, would be a member of the International Painter Association and be on par with Master Danny.

    On the other hand, Mr. Blue had just finished a surgery and learned about these things. He called and asked the mother and daughter to pack their luggage and return to America that night.

    Lin Man still wanted to stay for two more days on the basis of Old Madam Wei¡¯s birthday banquet, but she was stopped by Mr. Blue¡¯s ¡°If you don¡¯te back today, you¡¯ll stay in China forever¡±.

    It waste at night. At the entrance of the hotel, Lin Man and Li Na rushed out with their luggage. They met Master Danny in the corridor and Li Na called out hesitantly, ¡°Teacher.¡±

    Master Danny sighed and replied, ¡°Go back first.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Man pulled Li Na out of the hotel. Mr. Blue canceled the private ne. The two of them had to take the nearest flight to America themselves.

    At home, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone was about to explode from the school leaders. Principal Yang was extremely excited.

    ¡°Aiyah, Wanyuan, you¡¯re too hardworking. I knew you would definitely be able to do it. When you have time, I¡¯ll arrange a lecture for you. Tell the teachers how you learned to be so amazing.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 797: Bo Xiao Offended Father Bo</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was already immune to Principal Yang¡¯s sudden tasks. After agreeing to all sorts of requests, Principal Yang finally hung up the phone happily.

    His son, who was in his rebellious phase, had been influenced by Xia Wanyuan. Recently, he was not as mischievous as before and even knew to take the initiative to study. Principal Yang walked to his son and saw that he was practicing calligraphy. He suddenly reached out and patted his son¡¯s back.

    ¡°Dad! What are you doing? It hurts. Am I not studying? Why are you hitting me?¡±

    ¡°Son, chase after celebrities properly.¡± After saying this baffling sentence, Principal Yang hummed a tune and left, leaving the confused youth behind.

    There were too many people sending messages to Xia Wanyuan, so she picked a few to reply.

    After finally replying to the messages from her seniors, Xia Wanyuan stretched her wrist. Just as she was about to switch off her phone, a red dot appeared on her friend page.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on Xuan Sheng¡¯s friend request.

    ¡°Hmph, you even gave him your WeChat?¡± Jun Shiling had returned at some point in time. He stood behind Xia Wanyuan and suddenly spoke, startling her.

    ¡°You¡¯re jealous again. I didn¡¯t give him my WeChat.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that there was no need to add Xuan Sheng on WeChat and deleted his friend request like thest time.

    ¡°You asked me toe back early to see this. Xia Wanyuan, you¡¯re really amazing.¡± Jun Shiling walked over and picked Xia Wanyuan up.

    ¡°If you continue fooling around, sleep by yourself at night.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling was using this as an excuse to make a fuss.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly, but he did not dare to say anything else. He did not want to stay in the empty room alone.

    In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng had waited for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan had not verified him as her friend. This time, without his assistant¡¯s reminder, he knew that it was not a problem with his phone, but that the other party did not want to add him at all.

    He had known that this would be the oue, but Xuan Sheng still felt ufortable. The wound on his hand had been bandaged.

    Suddenly, a WeChat notification sounded. Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up. He hurriedly ran over and picked up his phone.

    In the end, it was just a WeChat post notification.

    ¡°What lousy WeChat?¡± Xuan Sheng rolled his eyes andy on the sofa. Resting his hand on his back, he opened the music box and listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s music. He gradually closed his eyes.

    ¡°Thank you for sending me home, Senior.¡± An Lin was dressed in a white dress, and her ck hair hung behind her. With light makeup, she was like a flower in the morning, refreshing one¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Why are you so polite? I only found out today that you and I are from Ning Yi City. If you have any problems in the future, you can look for me.¡± Yu Qian was dressed in a white shirt and looked gentle and elegant. He had attracted the gazes of countless women as he apanied An Lin.

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Senior,¡± An Lin said and pointed at the apartment not far away. ¡°Senior, I live over there. Just send me here.¡±

    Yu Qian looked up. ¡°The security over there isn¡¯t very good. I bought you a house over there. Here are the keys. I don¡¯t usually go there. You can stay there.¡±

    As Yu Qian spoke, he pointed at a high-end residential area beside the school. At that time, Mother An had also thought of the house over there, but it was too expensive, so she could only give up.

    An Lin did not expect that Wei Zimu would give her such a valuable gift when they had only met for the second time.

    ¡°Senior, your gift is too expensive. I can¡¯t ept it.¡± Although An Lin wanted to move too, this was only the second time they had met. She did not want Wei Zimu to think that she was a materialistic woman.

    ¡°In my opinion, this isn¡¯t expensive. I bought it casually. Coincidentally, no one lives in it, and you study here, so I gave it to you. If you don¡¯t stay there, it¡¯s empty.¡± Yu Qian persuaded An Lin very patiently. His eyes were filled with sincerity, making one feel his patience and kindness.

    ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± Hearing him say this, An Lin did not decline and epted the keys. ¡°I have more things. When I move, can I trouble you to help me?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Yu Qian smiled gently, dimming the moonlight on the horizon.

    Even though she wanted to get close to him at first because Wei Zimu had good criteria, in front of such a gentle, patient, and handsome man, An Lin did not have any resistance.

    Returning home with a young girl¡¯s cute heart, An Lin and Wei Zimu exchanged ¡°Goodnight¡± before An Lin fell asleep with a sweet dream.

    ¡°Boss, we¡¯re done talking today.¡± The subordinate looked at his phone in confusion. He really did not understand. <i>This An Lin looked nothing special. The boss had always been impatient. Why was he willing to spend time teasing this woman recently?</i>

    Yu Qian could tell what his subordinate was thinking, but he was toozy to exin.

    An Lin was just a ything that he used to practice his acting skills and hide his identity. It was not worth him exining it.

    Ever since Bo Qing chased Mo Ling and Bo Yi out of the house, he had been living a carefree life every day.

    However, after living happily for a long time, he felt guilty again. The huge family business still needed Bo Xiao to inherit. After reveling with the beauty for a long time, Bo Qing finally realized his conscience one day and wanted to see how his sessor was doing.

    Bo Qing was extremely satisfied after hearing from others about Bo Xiao¡¯s current official position. It seemed that he had done the right thing to chase Bo Xiao abroad back then. He wanted to see how capable his son was.

    Bo Qing was momentarily blinded by the joy of Bo Xiao being promoted. He drove towards Bo Xiao¡¯s house, but when the door opened, he saw an extremely familiar face.

    ¡°An Rao?! Why are you here? Where¡¯s Bo Xiao?¡± Bo Qing had heard about An Rao and Bo Xiao. He thought that Bo Xiao was just ying. After all, he had once thought of ying with An Rao, but this person¡¯s temper was too fiery. His thoughts had just sprouted when he was cut off.

    ¡°He¡¯s sleeping. What are you doing?¡± An Rao did not like Bo Qing, a man who had lust in his eyes no matter what.

    ¡°Wake him up. Bo Xiao,e out.¡± Bo Qing stood at the door and shouted into the house.

    No matter how much Bo Xiao could sleep, he would be woken up by this call. He walked to the door with sleepy eyes.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You¡¯re still sleeping when it¡¯s sote. Get up quickly ande to thepany with me.¡± Bo Qing hade this time to familiarize Bo Xiao with thepany¡¯s situation. Hence, when he spoke to Bo Xiao, he had a sense of superiority.

    After all, he was going to pass the family fortune to Bo Xiao. He felt that Bo Xiao should respect him.

    However, to his surprise, Bo Xiao walked to the door. Seeing that it was Bo Qing, he closed the door and locked it. He also added, ¡°Don¡¯t bother me.¡±

    An Rao had long wanted to close the door, but because this was Bo Xiao¡¯s father, she did not dare to do it.

    After Tang Yin returned from Yunnan, although she looked very happy on the surface, Xia Wanyuan saw that she had lost weight day after day.

    ¡°Tang Yin, guess who I met at the restaurant today?¡± Chen Yun came back with a pile of things and ced the food in front of Tang Yin.

    ¡°Who is it?¡± Tang Yin split the chopsticks and stuffed the food into her mouth without tasting it.

    ¡°Fu Li, Best Actor Fu. Isn¡¯t he your friend?¡±

    ¡°Oh, yes. He¡¯s been on blind dates recently. It¡¯s quite normal for him to go to a restaurant to eat, right?¡± Tang Yin barely suppressed the bitterness in her heart and casually pulled some food into her mouth.

    ¡°No, I saw him eating with a man and kept saying things like hospital checkups. Is Mr. Fu sick? He looks quite pale.¡± Chen Yun deliberated over his words, afraid that Tang Yin would think too much.

    Tang Yin herself was uneasy, so how could she have the time to observe Chen Yun¡¯s expression? ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t contact him much now.¡±

    ¡°Alright, hey, why did you eat the ginger?¡± Chen Yun suddenly shouted. Only then did Tang Yin realize that she had chewed a mouthful of ginger.

    She had never eaten ginger before.

    Chen Yun¡¯s words still worried Tang Yin a little. She indirectly asked for Yan Ci¡¯s phone number.

    ¡°Sister Tang, persuade Senior Brother. His body looks really scary recently. I feel that he can copse if the wind blows. He needs to go for a checkup to know how his body is. He can¡¯t dy it anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I know. I¡¯ll tell him.¡± After hearing Yan Ci¡¯s words, Tang Yin was even more worried. Fu Li had always had a habit of not liking to go to the hospital when he was sick.

    In the past, when the three of them lived together, she would force Fu Li to go to the hospital no matter what illness he had.

    After sitting in the studio for a long time, Tang Yin finally stood up and called Yan Ci. However, Yan Ci did not know where Fu Li was living now.

    Tang Yin thought for a while and drove to the small apartment they had lived in ten years ago. As expected, there were shoes at the door of the apartment.

    Tang Yin found the key under the shoe box at the side. When she opened the door, it was as if yesterday was right in front of her. The decorations in the house did not change much. Even the air in the house felt like it was in the past.

    Hot water gurgled on the kitchen stove. The steam in the air blurred Tang Yin¡¯s eyes.

    She pushed open Fu Li¡¯s bedroom door and saw him lying on the bed with a frown.

    ¡°Fu Li, wake up.¡± Tang Yin reached out to touch Fu Li¡¯s forehead, shocked by the high temperature on his forehead. ¡°You have a fever, Fu Li!¡±

    ]However, no matter how Tang Yin shouted, Fu Li did not react. Tang Yin could only pack his things.

    She looked delicate, but after opening a flower shop for four to five years, she had been managing everything herself. Even the various flower pots and pans were carried by her.

    Tang Yin grabbed Fu Li¡¯s arm and carried him on her shoulder with all her might. Fu Li looked thin, but he was actually not light at all. When Tang Yin carried him down, his entire body was covered in ayer of sweat.

    Worried that Fu Li¡¯s condition would worsen, Tang Yin did not bother to rest and drove to the hospital.

    ¡°Doctor, can you do a simple examination for him?¡± After sending Fu Li to the ward, Tang Yin pulled the doctor back.

    ¡°Sure. Are you the patient¡¯s family member?¡±

    ¡°I am.¡± After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yin nodded.

    ¡°Okay, then wait here. We¡¯ll inform you when we have results.¡±

    Tang Yin waited anxiously in the ward for a long time before Fu Li was finally pushed back.

    ¡°He fainted because of a fever. He¡¯ll be fine after resting for a few days and getting an injection for two days.¡± The nurse¡¯s words relieved Tang Yin. Tang Yin felt very ufortable as she looked at the pale-faced Fu Li on the bed.

    ¡°However, our Doctor Liang wants you to go to the office. He has something to say to you in person.¡± Before Tang Yin¡¯s heart could rx, the nurse¡¯s words made her uneasy again.

    A huge panic suddenly rose in her heart. After instructing the nurse to take good care of Fu Li, Tang Yin went to the doctor¡¯s office.

    ¡°Doctor Liang, is the result of his examination out?¡± Tang Yin did not realize it herself. Her voice was trembling slightly.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s out. You have to be mentally prepared. The patient had a benign tumor in his brain five years ago. For some reason, he kept dying treatment. Now, it has developed into a malignant tumor.¡±

    The doctor¡¯s words were like a huge hammer that smashed Tang Yin¡¯s consciousness into pieces. After a while, Tang Yin found her voice. ¡°Doctor, what do you mean??¡±

    ¡°He might not live for long. This tumor waspletely treatable five years ago, but it¡¯s toote now. It¡¯s already suppressed his central nervous system. The family members should prepare themselves and see if he has any wishes left.¡±

    Tang Yin did not know how she walked back to the long corridor from the office to the ward.

    All the noise and human voices seemed to be in a different world from hers. Bits and pieces of Fu Li swept across her mind, as if she was looking at the lights on the road.

    The sunny youth, then the handsome and promising Best Actor.

    <i>How could it be a tumor? Five years ago, it was the time I disappeared.</i> Tang Yin¡¯s heart was pierced.<i> I was the one who had harmed him.</i>

    Tang Yin pinched her palm tightly. She did not even realize that she was dripping blood non-stop. When she walked to the door of the ward, Tang Yin suddenly came to her senses. She raised her hand to touch her face, which was already filled with tears.

    The person who came out of the female toilet saw that Tang Yin¡¯s face was filled with tears and blood and walked in with lifeless eyes. She thought that she had met a lunatic and was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned against the wall and left.

    Tang Yin entered a cubicle and sat inside in a daze.

    She did not know what she had done wrong.

    From being an orphan in the mountains, she picked up leftovers and ate them all the way to Beijing under a big truck. She washed the dishes for the restaurant and worked as extras for the production team. She had to suffer a lot to finally make a name for herself in Beijing.

    She had thought that there would be light at the end of the tunnel, but she did not expect the person closest to her to give her the most fatal blow.

    She hade alone. In all these years, the only person who was still around was Fu Li. But now, the heavens were even taking Fu Li away.

    After some time, Tang Yin felt that her tears had dried up. Only then did she stand up, wash her face in front of the mirror, and wipe all her tears.

    When she walked out of the bathroom again, it was that invincible Tang Yin.

    Thinking that Fu Li should have not eaten for a long time, Tang Yin went downstairs to buy some porridge and light dishes.

    When he pushed open the ward door again, Fu Li was already awake. Seeing Tang Yin, Fu Li¡¯s hand subconsciously moved, but his expression was very cold. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Are you hungry? Have some porridge. It¡¯s your favorite corn porridge.¡± Tang Yin lowered her eyes and quietly stirred the porridge in the bowl.

    Fu Li could tell that Tang Yin had cried.

    <h4>Chapter 799: Licking Blood at the Tip of the Knife</h4>

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat. I have no appetite.¡± Fu Li felt ufortable and could not eat at all.

    ¡°Then what do you want to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you, okay?¡± Tang Yin put down the corn porridge. ¡°Do you remember? You used to like to eat corn porridge. Can I make that for you tonight?¡±

    ¡°Tang Yin, are you pitying me?¡± Seeing Tang Yin treat him so well, after the initial joy, huge anger arose in Fu Li¡¯s heart.

    Only when he was about to die would Tang Yin treat him so well, and when he was alive, Tang Yin only thought of how to push him away.

    ¡°Fu Li, I¡¯ve never pitied you before. You don¡¯t need my sympathy either.¡± Tang Yin looked up. Her eyes, which had always been arrogant, were filled with tears. The drops of tears smashed into Fu Li¡¯s heart.

    Fu Li sighed. He finally could not stand Tang Yin¡¯s tears.

    ¡°I want to eat corn porridge tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°And I want to drink the lotus root soup you make.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°And I want you to hug me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Yin subconsciously replied with an ¡®okay¡¯, then reacted to what she had just agreed to Fu Li.

    ¡°You agreed.¡± Fu Li leaned on the bed. ¡°Forget it, I can¡¯t do anything if you regret it. Anyway, I¡¯m lying on the bed now and can¡¯t do anything to you.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Tang Yin was a ssic example of a stubborn and soft-hearted person. What she could not stand the most was Fu Li¡¯s appearance. Thinking of that checklist, Tang Yin felt that she was willing to do anything for Fu Li now.

    Tang Yin walked forward and sat beside Fu Li. Fu Li opened his arms to her, and Tang Yin leaned forward gently.

    There was a faint antiseptic smell on Fu Li, mixed with a faint cigarette smell.

    Leaning on Fu Li¡¯s shoulder, Tang Yin thought to herself that the previous Fu Li did not smoke.

    ¡°Ah Yin, this is the first time I¡¯m hugging you after knowing you for so long.¡± Fu Li had never felt so satisfied.

    During those years, his best brother had been together with Tang Yin. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he could not even spend much time alone with Tang Yin. Later on, when Tang Yin disappeared, he went abroad and his dreams all had Tang Yin¡¯s figure.

    However, even in his dreams, Tang Yin had nevery quietly in his arms like now.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Tang Yin did not know what to say to Fu Li. She only knew that she was especially sorry for Fu Li.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t done anything wrong. I¡¯m the one who likes you. No one forced me.¡± Fu Li closed his eyes, wanting to remember how Tang Yin felt in his arms at this moment.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back and buy some food to cook. Rest first.¡± After leaning for a moment, Tang Yin sat up, worried that she had pressed Fu Li down.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Li nodded. As he watched Tang Yin¡¯s back disappear outside the door, Fu Li¡¯s calm eyes suddenly exploded. The joy at this moment was as if he had stolen it, making him uneasy.

    When Tang Yin returned home, she applied for leave from Xia Wanyuan first. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I want to specially take time out to take care of Fu Li.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Just treat it as a paid leave. Don¡¯t worry, go.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very generous.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to take paid leave. Just take it as a leave.¡± Tang Yin had already rested for a period of time. She felt bad for taking paid leave this time.

    ¡°What are you afraid of? I have a lot of money. If it¡¯s not enough, Jun Shiling also has a lot of money. Are you afraid that I can¡¯t afford your sry?¡± Xia Wanyuan unted her wealth in an extremely high-profile manner, and at the same time, disyed her love very quietly.

    Chen Yun, who was watching eagerly by the side, felt his heart bleed. It was not easy for him to wait for Tang Yin to return, and now, he was alone again. Chen Yun was already prepared for his sudden death.

    However, he also understood Tang Yin¡¯s current predicament. Although his heart was bleeding, Chen Yun still sent Tang Yin back to her residence with a smile.

    ¡ª¡ª

    With the help of the movingpany, An Lin had sessfully moved into the house Yu Qian had given her.

    The apartment that Mother An had rented for her was actually not bad. It was much better than the school dormitory that the six of them shared. However,pared to the luxurious house that Yu Qian had bought, the difference was like heaven and earth.

    The luxury of the room in this exquisite school district house that Yu Qian had bought was not inferior to the apartment An Rao had bought.

    Living in this school district house, An Lin had a faint sense of superiority.

    <i>So what if I am not as beautiful as An Rao? Someone would still buy a house for me. Furthermore, this house was not inferior to An Rao¡¯s.</i>

    ¡°Are you used to living here?¡± An Lin had just moved in when Wei Zimu called.

    ¡°Thank you, Senior. I¡¯m very used to it. I really don¡¯t know how to thank you. The security here is much better than where I lived in the past.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to thank me for. Just focus on school. Let¡¯s go to Professor Xia¡¯s ss tomorrow, okay?¡± Yu Qian looked at Wei Zimu¡¯s medical records while dealing with An Lin distractedly.

    ¡°Sure, Senior.¡± An Lin wanted to continue talking to Wei Zimu, but the other party suddenly hung up.

    ¡°Get Jayce out.¡± Yu Qian suddenly threw away his phone and switched on the video connector at the base.

    ¡°Boss, I...¡± A man with a scar on his face quickly appeared in the video.

    ¡°Kneel.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s words were unquestionable. Even though he looked gentle and elegant like a teacher from a university, the aura that came from the mountains of blood and bones made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Jayce knelt on the ground almost instantly.

    ¡°Did you give the syringe with your right hand? Chop it yourself.¡± Yu Qian did not need to check the surveince camera. With his usual understanding of his subordinates, he guessed Jayce¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Boss, I just saw that Wei Zimu went too far and wanted to teach him a lesson. Boss, ah!¡± Jayce still wanted to argue, but Yu Qian pressed a button on the other end of the earth. Aser knife fired from somewhere in the hall, cutting Jayce¡¯s right arm off.

    ¡°Since when do you get to decide my matters?¡± The scene in the hall was quickly transmitted to every corner through the global undergroundwork.

    Seeing King cut the person he trusted the most without hesitation, everyone felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts. Their submission to him grew deeper and deeper, and at the same time, they became more and more afraid of him.

    This was a devil, Satan, who did not show any mercy.

    In the hall, Jayce endured the pain of his broken arm. ¡°I¡¯m willing to be punished.¡±

    ¡°Go to the disciplinary room and receive another hundredshes.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice did not have any warmth as it echoed in the hall.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce bowed his head respectfully.

    In theboratory, Wei Zimu, who was almost bulging into a ball with all his blood vessels on the verge of rupturing, was finally saved by the technician.

    ¡°If anything happens to my brother, all of you will die with him.¡± King¡¯s words were like a sharp sword that hung over everyone¡¯s hearts.

 Chapter 800 - Tang Yin Fu Li

    <h4>Chapter 800: Tang Yin Fu Li</h4>

    The lotus root soup on the stove was bubbling, and the fragrance of pork ribs and lotus roots lingered in the room.

    Tang Yin sat on the stool in the kitchen and waited for the soup while looking at the small box in her hand.

    She had found this box from the corner when she was looking for the soup bowl. Inside were wishes that the three of them had made together on Fu Li¡¯s birthday when they were living together.

    The papers in the box were already yellow. Tang Yin opened the note at the top. She had written it herself.

    ¡°I hope that in ten years, I can have my own house and be the best manager.¡±

    The second one was Liu Xingchuan¡¯s.

    ¡°I hope to be a Best Actor. To be famous and rich, and live the life I want.¡±

    Thest paper was crumpled tightly, afraid that someone would see it. It was Fu Li¡¯s.

    ¡°I hope that ty will always be happy and healthy.¡±

    Looking at the abbreviation of those two words, Tang Yin¡¯s heart clenched. At that time, Fu Li did not even dare to write her name because she was his best brother¡¯s girlfriend.

    Pfft. The soup in the pot gradually boiled and overflowed, scattering on the mes. Tang Yin¡¯s attention was finally pulled back.

    Tang Yin stood up and poured the pork rib soup into the thermal box. The corn porridge at the side was almost done. Tang Yin sprinkled ayer of white sugar on the surface of the corn porridge. Tang Yin still remembered that Fu Li liked to eat sweet things.

    After pouring the corn porridge into the thermos box, Tang Yin looked at the time and was about to send it to Fu Li when the phone rang.

    It was a phone number that Tang Yin was very familiar with. It was the phone number that Liu Xingchuan had stopped using for many years.

    Updates by

    Sometimes, Tang Yin really hated this bone-deep habit of hers. Even though so many years had passed, the first thing she thought of when she saw this number was Liu Xingchuan.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Tang Yin pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡± Liu Xingchuan¡¯s voice had an ancient love. He called out again, ¡°Ah Yin.¡±

    ¡°Liu Xingchuan, don¡¯t call me that. It¡¯s disgusting.¡± Tang Yin could not deny that Liu Xingchuan, the man who had upied her entire youth, had left an indelible mark in her life.

    However, ever since Liu Xingchuan betrayed her five years ago, she had already carved a huge red cross on Liu Xingchuan in her heart.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Tang Yin. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Liu Xingchuan seemed to have drunk wine, and his words had a heavy breathing sound. ¡°But I¡¯m so happy today. I¡¯ve finally gotten rid of her. I¡¯ve regained my freedom. Will you be happy for me?¡±

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Tang Yin looked at the steaming corn porridge and said coldly.

    ¡°Ah Yin, can youe to me tonight?¡± Liu Xingchuan hugged the divorce agreement in his hand. ¡°I have something to tell you.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Tang Yin hung up the phone.

    When she rushed to the hospital, the food was still steaming. Tang Yin took out the food.

    Smelling the mellow fragrance, Fu Li, who had his eyes closed, could not help but open them. ¡± ¡± ¡°It smells so good. I haven¡¯t drank your soup in a long time.¡±

    ¡°Sit up and eat.¡± Tang Yin tidied the pillow behind Fu Li and tucked him in.

    However, when the soup bowl was delivered to Fu Li, he did not reach out to take it for a long time. Tang Yin looked up and saw Fu Li leaning on the bed calmly. ¡°I have a fever. I don¡¯t have any strength in my body and can¡¯t move.¡±

    Tang Yin was amused by Fu Li¡¯s shameless appearance. ¡°I¡¯ll feed you, alright?¡±

    With that, Tang Yin scooped some porridge with white sugar and fed it to Fu Li. Fu Li opened his mouth and ate the entire spoonful.

    ¡°It¡¯s so sweet,¡± Fu Li swallowed a mouthful of hot porridge and said to Tang Yin.

    ¡°Do you want to drink pork ribs soup?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Fu Li looked at Tang Yin taking care of him little by little in front of him and was extremely happy.

    From the first time they met in the Zhizi Garden until now, for nearly ten years, he had always been a bystander, watching Tang Yin and Liu Xingchuan fall in love and Liu Xingchuan possess all of Tang Yin¡¯s gentleness.

    He had never dreamed that such a day woulde. If this was a dream, he hoped that he would never wake up.

    ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± Fu Li had almost finished the food in the entire thermal box. He finally stopped Tang Yin¡¯s feeding behavior, not knowing whether tough or cry.

    ¡°Then take a rest.¡± Tang Yin stood up and packed her things.

    ¡°Then will you be here when I wake up?¡± Fu Li took advantage of his illness and asked Tang Yin for benefits without restraint.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll guard you here.¡± Tang Yin nodded.

    Fu Li looked at Tang Yin, who was guarding by the bed, and closed his eyes peacefully.

    When the moon was high in the sky, Fu Li suddenly woke up from his dream.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Tang Yin¡¯s voice came from beside him. Fu Li subconsciously grabbed her arm.

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here,¡± Tang Yin replied.

    ¡°Ah Yin, don¡¯t go. Stay with me.¡± Fu Li could not forget the panic of being left in his sleep.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Fu Li grabbed Tang Yin¡¯s hand and did not let go. Tang Yin sat by the bed and lowered her head, thinking about something.

    The house maintained an almost strange silence until a ringtone broke the silence.

    Tang Yin took out her phone and took a look, then her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

    Although she quickly switched off her phone, she was clearly uneasy.

    Fu Liughed at himself, then removed the hand on Tang Yin¡¯s arm. ¡°Go.¡±

    ¡°Fu Li, I do have something to settle with him.¡± Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were apologetic. ¡°Rest for a while first. I¡¯ll guard the nightter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Li¡¯s expression looked extremely normal. No one could tell if he was happy or angry.

    Tang Yin poured a ss of water for Fu Li before leaving in a hurry.

    After confirming that Tang Yin had really left, Fu Li suddenly removed the syringe in his hand and did not care about the blood flowing backwards.

    ¡°Is he that good?¡± Fu Liy on the bed dizzily. The destion in his heart was even more suffocating than in his dream.

    Tang Yin arrived at the entrance of the hotel ording to the address Liu Xingchuan had given her and pressed the doorbell.

    Soon, someone opened the door.

    ¡°You, why did you end up like this?¡± Tang Yin frowned slightly when she saw Liu Xingchuan¡¯s dispirited expression.

    ¡°Ah-Tang Yin,e in,¡± Liu Xingchuan said and brought Tang Yin into the house. There were bottles of wine on the table, and the house was filled with the smell of alcohol.

    ¡°Sit.¡± Liu Xingchuan removed the things on the sofa and made room for Tang Yin.

    Tang Yin sat on the sofa. ¡°You said you wanted to tell me the truth back then. Tell me, what truth?¡±

    Liu Xingchuan had changed from her most intimate lover to a devil with a fatal blow overnight. It had always been a knot in Tang Yin¡¯s heart that she could not resolve for a long time. This was also the reason why Tang Yin immediately appeared when Liu Xingchuan called out.

    ¡°I never thought of betraying you¡­¡±

    <h4>Chapter 801: The Truth is Revealed</h4>

    As the night deepened, the sea of lights gradually surrounded the city.

    In the room, Liu Xingchuan¡¯s voice had never stopped. Tang Yin listened quietly.

    After some time, Liu Xingchuan finally finished what he wanted to say.

    ¡°So?¡± After hearing all of Liu Xingchuan¡¯s exnation, Tang Yin¡¯s expression did not change much. ¡°So you want to say that you¡¯re noble to suffer hardships and take revenge for your parents? Or are you saying that you did very well to push your lover into the fire pit because of your selfish desire? You can erase all the harm you¡¯ve done over the years by saying that you have your difficulties?¡±

    Tang Yin¡¯s words rendered Liu Xingchuan speechless.

    ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant, Ah Yin.¡± Liu Xingchuan sighed deeply. ¡°I know I let you down.¡±

    ¡°You did let me down. I don¡¯t even know what mood you used to push me into someone else¡¯s bed.¡± The nightmare-like matter back then was said again now, but Tang Yin felt that she could face it calmly.

    ¡°No, Ah Yin.¡± Liu Xingchuan finally confessed the truth. ¡°I did arrange those people back then, but I didn¡¯t let them touch you. Even I didn¡¯t touch you. How could I let others touch you?¡±

    At that time, the situation was urgent. He was anxious to prove his sincerity to Shi Tian, but he did not want to implicate Tang Yin. He knew that Tang Yin had always been arrogant, so he designed such a move to make Tang Yin let go of himpletely.

    ¡°But, when I woke up that day, my body...¡± Tang Yin had once suspected the situation at that time, but on second thought, since her heart was already dead, it made no difference whether she had that or not.

    ¡°In order to make it look real, I was the one who got the servants to pinch out the marks for you. Ah Yin, in order to investigate the truth of my parents¡¯ deaths back then, I threw myself into Shi Tian¡¯s arms. I¡¯m sorry, but I really didn¡¯t want to hurt you. You don¡¯t know how I¡¯ve lived through all these years.¡± Thinking of what had happened back then, Liu Xingchuan closed his eyes in pain.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Tang Yin looked at this man who had apanied her through the years and carved an extremely deep mark in her life. At this moment, her heart was especially calm.

    ¡°Ah Yin, I¡¯ve already divorced Shi Tian. I don¡¯t ask you to forgive me. I only ask you to give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?¡± The deep hatred of his parents had been avenged, and the shackles of many years had been removed. The only person Liu Xingchuan could not let go of was Tang Yin.

    ¡°The broken mirror can¡¯t be restored. I admit that you still have a very deep influence on me, but that¡¯s the mark of the past. I don¡¯t love you anymore. Why must you do this?¡± Tang Yin was very sad in her heart. She did not know why their fates had be so entangled.

    ¡°Ah Yin, don¡¯t you want to go to Australia to see the deer? Can I go with you? And Zhizhi Flower, your favorite. I nted a garden for you and even made many kites for you myself. When the weather is good, I¡¯ll bring you out to y.¡± Liu Xingchuan looked at Tang Yin as if he was holding onto thest straw. ¡°I beg you not to leave me.¡±

    ¡°Even if you tell me the truth now, let me tell you. Over the years, the injuries I¡¯ve suffered, the hardships I¡¯ve suffered, and the tears I¡¯ve shed are all real. I don¡¯t love you anymore. You¡¯re on your own.¡± Tang Yin did not want to stay here anymore. Every time she saw Liu Xingchuan, she felt an overwhelming sense of pain pressing down on her.

    ¡°No, Ah Yin, please.¡± Tang Yin turned to leave, but Liu Xingchuan hugged her from behind.

    ¡°Let go.¡±

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡± Hot tears fell on Tang Yin¡¯s shoulder. Unfortunately, Tang Yin was no longer the Tang Yin from five years ago.

    ¡°Don¡¯t force me to hate you.¡± Tang Yin¡¯s tone was terrifyingly cold. Liu Xingchuan finally epted the truth and let go of Tang Yin¡¯s hand.

    Tang Yin turned around and nced at this former lover. ¡°You¡¯re on your own.¡± Then, she left the room resolutely.

    After leaving the hotel, Tang Yin suddenly felt that the shackles in her heart had been released.

    Liu Xingchuan was indeed pitiful, but the pain she had experienced over the years was real. She and Liu Xingchuan already had no way out when he chose to abandon her and throw himself into Shi Tian five years ago.

    No matter how many reasons there were, betrayal was betrayal.

    Tang Yin did not drive but walked slowly along the street. After walking for a while, Tang Yin suddenly stopped. ¡°Come out.¡±

    Footsteps came from behind. Tang Yin turned around. Fu Li was wearing a ck windbreaker, making him look even more handsome and tall. It was just that the pain of the past few days had made him thinner.

    ¡°I came out for a walk.¡± Fu Li was a little embarrassed to be caught for following her.

    He was conflicted in the hospital for a long time. In the end, he could not help but pull out the needle and follow Tang Yin¡¯s car.

    He watched her enter the hotel room helplessly. God knew how afraid he was that Tang Yin would stay inside and note out.

    Fortunately, he still waited for Tang Yin to leave in the end.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the hospital.¡± Tang Yin looked very energetic. She turned and walked towards the hospital.

    Fu Li followed and secretly observed. He was a little curious about what Liu Xingchuan had told her. <i>Were they back together?</i>

    ¡°Did you know that Liu Xingchuan divorced?¡± Fu Li probed.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Then you and him?¡± Fu Li asked hesitantly. He was afraid of hearing the answer he did not want to hear.

    ¡°What can there be between me and him? He¡¯s just my ex.¡± After unraveling the confusion that had umted in her heart for a long time, Tang Yin was very carefree.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Fu Li replied calmly, but the corners of his lips secretly curled up.

    After returning to the hospital, because he had secretly removed the needle, Fu Li was scolded by the nurse. Tang Yin secretly smiled at the side. When the nurse left, she sat by the bed and carefully warmed Fu Li¡¯s hand with a hand warmer.

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡± Looking at Tang Yin¡¯s lowered eyes and gentle expression, the panic in Fu Li¡¯s heart seemed to have been calmed.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Tang Yin replied.

    ¡°Can you stay here with me tonight?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Now, even if it was the stars in the sky, as long as Fu Li wanted them, Tang Yin would think of a way to help him pluck them.

    ¡°Then where are you sleeping?¡± Tang Yin was too easygoing today. Fu Li was a little stunned. After asking this question, he suddenly thought of what Tang Yin had once suffered. Knowing that she was especially resistant to others¡¯ approach, he hurriedly changed his words. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Then where do you want me to sleep?¡± Who knew that Tang Yin was actually not angry and even asked him a question.

    ¡°Here.¡± Seeing that Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were clear and without any anger, Fu Li was stunned and subconsciously patted the spot in front of him.

    When he reacted, Fu Li¡¯s expression changed. He was afraid of evoking Tang Yin¡¯s bad memory of the past.

    He had found out about those thingster. He hated that he could not kill those people one by one. In front of Tang Yin, in order to protect her pride, he had always pretended to know nothing.

    Now that he was doing this, Fu Li was afraid that Tang Yin would have any feelings of disgust towards him.

    <h4>Chapter 802: Autumn Scenery Slowly Bes Old</h4>

    Seeing that Tang Yin did not speak for a long time, Fu Li touched the back of his head in frustration.?<i>I am already over thirty years old, so why am I still so impetuous when I speak??</i>

    ¡°Do you need to switch off the lights?¡± Tang Yin stood up with a normal expression.

    ¡°Oh, okay. Help me switch it off. Thank you.¡± Fu Li followed the out Tang Yin gave him.

    Tang Yin switched off the light and walked straight to Fu Li¡¯s bed. She took off her shoes and sat by the bed. ¡°Move in.¡±

    Fu Li was stunned. He was practically moving based on his body¡¯s instincts. For a moment, he felt his body and mind separate.

    The ward was dark, but Fu Li could tell from the gentle rustling that Tang Yin had taken off her coat.

    The next second, the gardenia fragrance lingered at the tip of Fu Li¡¯s nose. A warm bodyy just one step away from him.

    Fu Li felt that all the cells in his body were moring to get closer, but his rationality told him not to.

    Tang Yiny under the nket and could clearly hear Fu Li¡¯s heartbeat that was like a drum. It was thumping frighteningly.

    Thinking of what the doctor said about ¡°fulfilling the patient¡¯s wish¡±, Tang Yin sighed in her heart. Then, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Fu Li¡¯s waist.

    <i>F*ck!?</i>

    Forgive Fu Li for being elegant for more than thirty years. At this moment, this was the only word in his heart.

    Fu Li¡¯s nerves and senses were highly focused on the hands Tang Yin was hugging him with.

    ¡°Ah Yin?¡± Fu Li¡¯s voice trembled.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Tang Yin replied in his arms.

    ¡°Pinch me. Am I dreaming?¡±?<i>I had never dreamed of such a beautiful dream.?</i>

    Tang Yin pinched Fu Li¡¯s waist in amusement. Fu Li felt an obvious pain. Only then did he seem to have just reacted and became excited.

    Fu Li reached out, wanting to hug but not daring to. He hesitated in midair.

    It was still Tang Yin who reached out and pulled him to ce his arm at her waist.

    Feeling the warm body under his palm, Fu Li felt that he had never been so happy in his thirty years of life.

    Fu Li suddenly tightened his grip and hugged Tang Yin tightly.

    ¡°Goodnight.¡± Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were red.

    ¡°Goodnight.¡± Fu Li was equally excited.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The night gradually darkened. Wei Zimu, who had disappeared for a day, finally replied.

    ¡°Junior, I¡¯m sorry. There was a huge investment project that went wrong yesterday. I was anxious, so I went to settle my work first. I¡¯m sorry to hang up on you. Don¡¯t be angry.¡±

    An Lin, who was wondering if she had offended Wei Zimu, was relieved when she saw the message. She was very gentle and obedient. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Senior. I know you¡¯re busy. It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not angry at you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the best. I saw a beautiful bag on a business trip. I didn¡¯t know if you liked it, so I bought it. If you don¡¯t like it, you can give it to someone else.¡±

    Looking at the photos of the bag sent by Wei Zimu, An Lin checked. Just this bag alone was 300,000.

    ¡°I like whatever you buy, Senior.¡±

    Although it was alreadyte at night, An Lin and Wei Zimu chatted back and forth. It was only when the sky began to brighten that Wei Zimu reluctantly bade An Lin good night.

    An Lin had sses in the morning, but after staying up an entire night, she no longer nned to attend them.

    ¡°Thank you for bringing me a gift when you were on a business trip.¡± An Lin screenshot a chat with Wei Zimu and posted the photo of her bag on her WeChat Moments. Soon, she received everyone¡¯s envy and praise.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The sunlight illuminated the ground again, and the autumn wind blew. After a night, there were many yellow leaves umted on the ground.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan realized that her health was worrisome, she would run with Jun Shiling every morning.

    Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling and stepped on the soft leaves, breathing in the fresh and natural air of the manor.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t exercised recently. I feel like I can¡¯t keep up with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan barely followed Jun Shiling¡¯s footsteps. After a few rounds, she was a little out of breath.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s physical fitness was quite good. Xia Wanyuan had heard from Jun Shiling that the intensity of the training he had received in the military a few years ago was unimaginable.

    ¡°You have to exercise properly.¡± Jun Shiling stopped and waited for Xia Wanyuan for a while, his eyes teasing. ¡°You¡¯re exhausted after a while. Your physical fitness is in the way of our harmony.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was already powerless toin about Jun Shiling¡¯s inexplicable ability to start driving. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that your health was too good?¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t I be healthy?¡± Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow and took a few steps back, lifting Xia Wanyuan up.

    ¡°What are you doing? Put me down.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around and punched Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will see and damage your image as the great CEO Jun?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Wang knows what he¡¯s doing. He won¡¯t arrange for anyone toe.¡± Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan and walked slowly. ¡°Besides, we¡¯re legal and in our own house. Can¡¯t I hug my wife?¡±

    ¡°Your logic score is perfect. I won¡¯t argue with you. Put me down.¡± Xia Wanyuan struggled for a while, but Jun Shiling was too strong.

    ¡°No, aren¡¯t you tired? I¡¯ll carry you for a while. Rest.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan and did not let go.

    ¡°¡­¡±?<i>Forget it.</i>?Xia Wanyuan was like Xiao Bao. She struggled symbolically for a while and gave up.<i>?Anyway, I am not the only one who was embarrassed. Forget it.?</i>

    After thinking it through, Xia Wanyuan simply leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and allowed him to carry her slowly.

    The autumn in the north was very beautiful, especially after the fallen leaves. There was ayer of golden ginkgo leaves on the ground like a golden carpet. Together with the blue sky, it was very beautiful.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the scenery for a while and suddenly thought of what Jun Shiling had said about nting chrysanthemums in the autumn.

    ¡°Are there many types of chrysanthemums in modern times?¡±

    In ancient times, they also liked to admire chrysanthemums. Every autumn, they would organize specialized banquets to admire chrysanthemums together. However, there were really very few types of chrysanthemums in the past. After all, the cultivation technique was not as advanced as the modern one.

    ¡°There are many. I¡¯ve already gotten someone to prepare them. I¡¯ll get someone to move all the flowers into the manor in two days so that you can see all you want.¡±

    ¡°If you were in the ancient times, would you be a fatuous ruler? The kind that gathers the strength of the entire country to build a pce for his favorite concubine or something.¡± Xia Wanyuan had recently watched many pce dramas. Many fatuous rulers had no rationality when they pampered people.

    ¡°That depends on whether you¡¯re my Empress.¡± Jun Shiling actually discussed this topic with Xia Wanyuan very seriously. ¡°If you¡¯re the Demon Empress, I¡¯m the fatuous ruler. If you¡¯re the virtuous Empress, I¡¯m the wise ruler.¡±

    <i>In any case, what I be depends on what kind of person you are.?</i>

 Chapter 803 - Meeting in the Mall

    <h4>Chapter 803: Meeting in the Mall</h4>

    Jun Shiling answered very seriously. He was really considering the question Xia Wanyuan had asked.

    However, it was this seriousness that delighted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t let you be a fatuous ruler.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder with curved eyes. When Jun Shiling lowered his head, he saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with sparkling eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. If it¡¯s you, it doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re a fatuous ruler. I never said that I was a good person. I am only a good person when you are.¡±

    Jun Shiling had always been gentle in front of Xia Wanyuan, but to be able to grow to be the head of the Jun Corporation, or even a man standing behind China, his heart was wandering between ck and white, and the control point of this boundary was with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and closed her eyes. In the beginning, she had chosen Jun Shiling because she felt that he wasfortable enough with her. Then, as days passed, she had liked him more and more.

    ¡°Are you waiting for me to kiss you?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan so delicate, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. The sunlight shone on her face, and her entire face seemed to be shining.

    ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Jun Shiling deliberately teased her.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan frowned and even revealed a look of grievance. However, in the next second, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and pecked Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    /

    Jun Shiling loved Xia Wanyuan to death, and his deep eyes were filled with love.

    The branch of a sycamore tree beside him reached Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. Jun Shiling took the opportunity to carry Xia Wanyuan and sit on it.

    ¡°Good girl, hug me,¡± Jun Shiling said as he pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand around his waist. With his other hand, he raised Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin and kissed the red he had been longing for.

    The sunlight shone through the leaves and secretly looked at the two of them hugging under the sycamore tree.

    A gentle autumn, a gentle person, a gentle world.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss at Qing University was literature. Just as she entered the ssroom, she saw An Lin, who was talking to Yu Qian shyly.

    Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t see through Yu Qian. She didn¡¯t believe that Yu Qian had really fallen for An Lin, but was there anything on An Lin that was worth him using?

    The chaotic thoughts onlysted for a moment. Xia Wanyuan immediately retracted her gaze and focused on the ssroom.

    The students were basically Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans and knew that she had just obtained the qualification to join the International Painter Association.

    ¡°Professor Xia, how did you paint Chinese paintings and oil paintings so well?¡±

    ¡°Teacher Xia, I like you so much. Your acting is so good too.¡±

    The students pestered Xia Wanyuan non-stop, asking questions. Xia Wanyuan was not tired of being disturbed.

    Yu Qian sat in thest row and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was patiently chatting with the students. A strange light shed across his eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan, this woman, made him feel a little strange. She clearly looked aloof and untouchable, but when facing students, she made people feel very gentle even from afar.

    ¡°Senior, are you close to Teacher Xia?¡± Seeing Yu Qian staring at Xia Wanyuan, An Lin was a little flustered.

    Even though she had always thought highly of herself, she had to admit that very few men could resist a woman like Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°She¡¯s a distant rtive of mine. We¡¯re not very close.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s eyes were cold when An Lin interrupted his thoughts, but his voice was still very gentle.

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Lin was relieved that it was a rtive. She wanted to take the opportunity to speak to Yu Qian more, but Yu Qian ced his index finger by his mouth. ¡°Listen carefully.¡±

    An Lin nodded and did not probe further.

    After ss, An Lin and Yu Qian walked to the school gate together, only to bump into Xia Wanyuan, who had also left the school.

    ¡°An Lin,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out. An Lin hurriedly greeted Xia Wanyuan.

    ncing at the bag in An Lin¡¯s hand that was worth nearly four hundred thousand dors, Xia Wanyuan finally said, ¡°Sess without hard work oftenes with a greater price.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, are you mocking me?¡± Although An Lin lived in the house Yu Qian had bought and used the bag he had bought, she did not like others to say that she relied on men to afford such a good bag.

    ¡°No.¡± That was all Xia Wanyuan wanted to say. Seeing An Lin¡¯s reaction, Xia Wanyuan could basically see An Lin¡¯s end.

    However, she was not a saint and could not be bothered with An Lin. She nced at Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan strode away.

    ¡°Senior, will you really misunderstand me like Sister Xia?¡± An Lin had never put on makeup in ss, but she had a goodplexion. At this moment, she looked at Yu Qian pitifully, making her look even more delicate.

    ¡°Of course not. If I misunderstood you, would I have apanied you to ss? Let¡¯s go and buy clothes.¡±

    An Lin only cared about lowering her head to show her shyness, so she did not see the coldness in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes and the gaze he had never given An Lin.

    An Lin felt that it was a little strange. Yu Qian said that he was apanying her to buy clothes, but he always appeared when the bill was paid. Every time, she would only see Yu Qian return after trying on clothes in the shop for more than half an hour.

    However, because he was too generous with his card, An Lin was too embarrassed to question him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to shop. What¡¯s there to shop for? You women are so troublesome.¡± Suddenly, aint came from the door of the shop.

    ¡°Liar, you even said you like me. You¡¯re annoyed even to shop with me for a while.¡± An Rao dragged Bo Xiao¡¯s arm and walked in. However, when she looked up, she saw An Lin standing by the counter and Yu Qian beside her.

    The smile on An Rao¡¯s face disappeared, especially after seeing the pile of branded goods in An Lin¡¯s hand.

    ¡°An Lin, what are you doing?¡± An Rao did not expect to bump into An Lin here.?<i>Shouldn¡¯t Father and Mother An¡¯s pride be in school at this time?</i>

    ¡°Sister, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Wei from the Wei family, and this is my sister, An Rao.¡± An Lin introduced them.

    ¡°Superstar An, nice to meet you.¡± Yu Qian smiled and nodded.

    An Rao knew that Xia Wanyuan had a brother named Wei Zimu who treated her quite well and immediately had a good attitude towards Yu Qian, but she didn¡¯t understand why Wei Zimu would mix with An Lin.

    Bo Xiao, who had been pulled over by An Rao with a bitter expression, subconsciously entered a state of alertness when he saw Yu Qian. This made Bo Xiao involuntarily look at Yu Qian again.

    Looking at the gentle and weak person, Bo Xiao felt that his alert state was baffling.

    ¡°Sister, we¡¯ll go elsewhere first. You guys shop first.¡± An Lin did not want Yu Qian toe into contact with An Rao. After all, An Rao was too beautiful, so she picked up the things and left with Yu Qian.

 Chapter 804 - Fu Li Confess Xiao Rao Engagement

    <h4>Chapter 804: Fu Li Confess Xiao Rao Engagement</h4>

    An Rao watched An Lin and Yu Qian leave and frowned tightly. ¡°Bo Xiao, what do you think is the rtionship between An Lin and Wei Zimu?¡±

    Bo Xiaoy on the sofa. ¡°The rtionship between a sugar daddy and sugar baby. Otherwise, do you think that your sister can be so charming that she can settle the young master of the Wei family?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao had to admit that although Bo Xiao¡¯s mouth was quite poisonous, what he said made sense. She knew that the Wei family was really a rich family.?<i>Forgive me, but I really could not tell what was outstanding about An Lin that could make the young master of the Wei family bow down.</i>

    ¡°Then tell me, should I call my mother and tell them?¡± An Rao hated to call Father An and Mother An, but she felt that if she did not tell them about this, in the future, if something happened, Mother An might me her.

    ¡°Go ahead and also tell your parents not to go out this weekend. I¡¯m going to ask for your hand in marriage.¡± Bo Xiaoy on the sofa and crossed his legs, looking like a yboy.

    An Rao kicked him angrily. ¡°Why ask for my hand? You didn¡¯t even propose.¡±

    She felt that Bo Xiao was really full of tricks. He suddenly said that he wanted to ask for her hand in marriage.

    ¡°Let¡¯s settle it early so that your parents won¡¯t cause trouble again.¡± Bo Xiao had already considered asking for her hand for a long time, but he had not told An Rao about it.

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao sat beside Bo Xiao and began to call Mother An.

    ¡°Hello, An Rao, you evil creature. How dare you call me?!¡± Just as the call connected, Mother An¡¯s scolding rushed out of the phone.

    Even though An Rao did not turn on the speaker, Mother An¡¯s voice was so loud that Bo Xiao could hear her clearly.

    This made Bo Xiao angry. He snatched the phone away. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    The dignity that Bo Xiao had umted from training his subordinates all year round also yed a role at this moment, sessfully stopping Mother An, who was cursing.

    ¡°On the 6th of next month, An Rao and I are getting engaged. If youe, I¡¯ll arrange seats for you. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯te. Anyway, you don¡¯t treat An Rao as a daughter.¡±

    Updates by

    With that, Bo Xiao hung up the phone.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to ask for my hand?¡± An Rao was used to Mother An¡¯s scolding. She did not react, but she saw that Bo Xiao was very angry.

    ¡°No, your parents really don¡¯t deserve us to go over. When the timees, if they¡¯re willing toe over, I¡¯ll arrange seats for them. If they¡¯re not willing, then forget it. If you don¡¯t mind, the wife of the old leader liked you very muchst time. She¡¯s very willing to be our witness.¡±

    Bo Xiao was not angry at Mother An¡¯s attitude. His heart ached for An Rao.?<i>How could a mother be like this?</i>

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao had long given up on Father An and Mother An. She had no objections to Bo Xiao¡¯s arrangements.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and pick a dress. I¡¯ll buy you whatever you like.¡± Bo Xiao, who had looked resistant just now, took the initiative to pull An Rao to shop. He was afraid that An Rao would be unhappy because of Mother An.

    Mother An was stunned by Bo Xiao¡¯s roar for no reason. She only reacted after hanging up the phone.

    When Father An returned at night, Mother An told him about the situation. Father An was furious.

    ¡°Oh my god! Does she think that she¡¯s amazing for finding a lousy officer? She¡¯s not even going home?¡±

    Ning Yi City was a ce where traditional Confucian culture flourished and people were very particr about family status. An Rao¡¯s act of privately getting engaged to someone without the family¡¯s approval clearly challenged Father An¡¯s authority.

    ¡°This, look at Bo Xiao¡¯s news. I think An Rao was deceived by him. How can a yboy like him marry her? If word gets out, others will poke our backs and scold us for using unscrupulous means to climb up for our status.¡±

    Mother An¡¯s words poked at Father An. To an extremely chauvinistic person, he was most afraid of others gossiping about him behind his back.

    ¡°When is their engagement?¡± Father An was so angry that he forgot the date.

    ¡°Six.¡±

    ¡°Go and buy tickets. Let¡¯s go to Beijing and also see if Lin¡¯er is doing well.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Lin had never left Mother An for so long. Mother An missed her too, so she bought the ne tickets immediately.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m full. Your skills are too good. I feel that I¡¯ve gained a lot of weight recently.¡± Fu Li drank the lotus root pork ribs soup fed by Tang Yin and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Tell me what you want to eatter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Looking at Tang Yin busying herself, Fu Li had mixed feelings. He subconsciously called out, ¡°Ah Yin.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Tang Yin turned around. The years did not leave any mark on her face. She was still the woman in his memory who had made him fall in love in the children¡¯s garden.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Fu Li smiled.

    Tang Yin went out to get water, leaving Fu Li alone in the ward.

    At that moment, the smile on his face disappeared and his eyes were filled with deep worry.

    He admitted that he was extremely happy when he hugged Tang Yin for the first time that night. His long-cherished wish hade true in a day. That joy was something he had never experienced in so many years.

    However, after the huge excitement, there was huge panic.

    In the past few days, Tang Yin had been too good to him, so good that she was no longer the Tang Yin of the past.

    No matter what request he made, Tang Yin agreed to it one by one.

    Fu Li felt that even if he suggested wanting Tang Yin at night now, Tang Yin would still shower and lie in front of him without a change in expression.

    He felt that he was too despicable. He used Tang Yin¡¯s guilt towards him to gain Tang Yin¡¯s gentleness. For a moment, he felt that he was as cruel as Liu Xingchuan.

    He did not want to steal joy and happiness like this.

    It was time to wake up from this dream.

    He did not dare to face Tang Yin directly, so he wanted to write a letter to her. He searched the ground and looked up by the window, only to see Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin standing in the garden downstairs.

    Although he could not hear what they were saying, from the way they spoke, they were chatting extremely happily. When Liu Xingchuan left, he even touched Tang Yin¡¯s head.

    By the time Tang Yin returned to the ward, Fu Li was already asleep. Tang Yin walked over and tucked him in. Then, she took the lunch box and prepared to go home to make some food for Fu Li.

    However, when she finished preparing the lotus root pork ribs that Fu Li liked to eat and pushed open the ward door, she saw only a letter.

    Tang Yin held the letter and sat on the bed. She read it until the food in the thermal box had turned cold, before she carried the box and walked out of the hospital. There was no special expression the entire time. One could not tell if she was happy or sad, as if Fu Li was just a stranger to her.

    After Tang Yin left, a figure walked out of the ward and stood extremely bleakly.

    He stayed here only to see Tang Yin¡¯s reaction. Now, it seemed that it was time to really give up.

 Chapter 805 - Live Broadcast Attack on An Raoâ€™s House

    <h4>Chapter 805: Live Broadcast Attack on An Rao¡¯s House</h4>

    Although Chen Yun was extremely busy with daily matters, he still had to find time to inquire about all sorts of gossip. He found out about Tang Yin and Fu Li from somewhere and told Xia Wanyuan about them.

    Xia Wanyuan was not surprised that Fu Li had confessed to pretending to be sick and lying to Tang Yin so quickly. After all, Fu Li was a very strong person to the core. He definitely could not tolerate Tang Yin being good to him because of sympathy.

    ¡°Are the two of them going to break up like this? From the way I see it, Fu Li seems to have given up. Tang Yin has been acting as if nothing has happened recently. I¡¯m afraid that Fu Li¡¯s letting go won¡¯t affect her at all.¡± Chen Yun typed on the keyboard while gossiping with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that the two of them were about to seed. Tang Yin might very well be confirming if she was dealing with Fu Li so well because of sympathy.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± After such a long time of verification, Chen Yun understood a truth.

    When their opinions differed, they immediately changed their opinions and followed Xia Wanyuan. She was definitely not wrong.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have many activities recently, right? I have time today. If there¡¯s anything, I can do it.¡± After being busy, Xia Wanyuan finally recalled her identity as a celebrity.

    ¡°Oh my god, you finally have time.¡± Thepany had given Xia Wanyuan a lot of freedom. Whether she participated in the event or not could be decided by Xia Wanyuan herself.

    Over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had been busy with all sorts ofpetitions and filming, and she had basically not epted any business activities. Thements begging Xia Wanyuan to show up at Wan Shi Studio¡¯s social media had almost drowned the studio.

    Chen Yun¡¯s personal Weibo messages were even more overwhelming. It frightened him so much that he did not even dare to look at his Weibo when he went online.

    ¡°Then what can I do today?¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t? You live-stream? You haven¡¯t live-streamed in a long time.¡± Chen Yun¡¯s eyes darted around and suddenly thought of a good idea. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go andunch a sudden attack on An Rao and Bo Xiao? Theizens are extremely curious about their private situation. Everyone likes to see you y with An Rao.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have any objections. She took out her phone and called An Rao. After confirming that An Rao would be home in the afternoon, she agreed to the afternoon live broadcast with Chen Yun.

    After the live broadcast, with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current poprity, there would definitely be many topics that would be trending. Chen Yun went to arrange for the public rtions team first, in case anything happened.

    There were no sses today, and the production team¡¯s filming was almost done. Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor.

    Thinking of how every time she saw so many fans supporting her on Weibo, and how many people confessed to her every morning and night, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had the awareness of being an idol.

    Thinking of giving the fans more benefits, she returned to the manor and started the live broadcast.

    At this time, everyone was eating. Caught off guard, they received the news that Xia Wanyuan was live-streaming. As everyone ate, they opened the channel to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream.

    A magical scene appeared in Qing University, which was the base for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s loyal fans.

    In the entire canteen, most of the people were holding their phones and eating. Furthermore, when they nced over, the images on everyone¡¯s phones were the same.

    ¡°Good afternoon. I haven¡¯t interacted with everyone in a long time. I don¡¯t have anything on at home today, so I¡¯ll start a live broadcast for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan had just returned from outside. She had light makeup on, making her facial features look even more moving.

    [ Wow, Yuan Yuan, look at me. I missed you so much! ]

    [ Goddess, I¡¯m here!! Give me a kiss! Mua ]

    [ Greetings, Big God of Studies. I¡¯m basking in your luck. Ahhh, Goddess, do you see my careful heart? ]

    The enthusiasticments floated across thements, causing Xia Wanyuan to smile gently. Instantly, thements flooded faster.

    In the canteen, some students did not even notice that the drumsticks in their mouths had fallen.

    Half a year ago, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo was tainted. Wherever she appeared, there would definitely be overwhelming insults.

    However, half a yearter, Xia Wanyuan used her ability to receive countless apuse and flowers.

    ¡°Everyone should be eating at this time, right?¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan stood up with her phone and sat at the dining table. ¡°I¡¯m going to eat too. I heard that you¡¯ve always wanted to watch me broadcast while eating food. I¡¯ll satisfy you today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put her phone aside and ate her food.

    When she looked up after eating a mouthful of food, she realized that thements were filled with lemons.

    Xia Wanyuan made a small puzzled expression. Forgive her for not liking to go online especially, so she was not very clear about the various trending words on the Inte.

    [ Hahaha, there¡¯s a big question mark on the tiny head. Our Yuan Yuan is so cute. Come here and let Mommy kiss you. ]

    [ Don¡¯t tell me Yuan Yuan doesn¡¯t know that lemons mean sour? Look at the food in front of Yuan Yuan and then look at mine. I feel like a refugee. ]

    [ Oh my god, I really want to try the dish Yuan Yuan ate. It looks too appetizing. Mommy, I hate the rich. ]

    Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan hade from a thousand years ago, so Jun Shiling would always instruct the chef to cook more for Xia Wanyuan, asking her to try all sorts of different dishes.

    Hence, there were more than ten dishes in front of Xia Wanyuan, but each of them was very little in terms of portion size. Together, they were just enough for an adult.

    The skills of the chefs that Jun Shiling had invited from all over the world were naturally excellent. Every dish was exquisite, and even the ting was perfect like a work of art.

    Everyone looked at the food in front of Xia Wanyuan and then at the food in front of them. Their appetite instantly decreased by more than half. Everyone quietly put down their chopsticks.?<i>Forget it, let¡¯s watch Xia Wanyuan eat.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan ate very elegantly, but when one was good-looking, they would be cute no matter what they did. Seeing Xia Wanyuan chew the food mouthful by mouthful and drink the soup obediently, the fans screamed and became her biological mother fans.

    Half an hour passed unknowingly as they watched Xia Wanyuan eat.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll go get something to drink and rest. Let¡¯s go to a friend¡¯s houseter.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan was ready to leave, she recalled that the outside of the manor had been exposed before. Worried that she would be recognized, Xia Wanyuan covered the camera.

    ¡°I¡¯m going out of the courtyard now, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to show everyone. I¡¯ll turn on the camera after I leave.¡±

    Everyone expressed their understanding of this private situation.

    However, a minute passed.

    Two minutes passed.

    Five minutes passed.

    Thements were filled with question marks.

    [ Don¡¯t tell me that Xia Wanyuan hasn¡¯t reached the door after walking for ten minutes in the courtyard. ]

    [?? I admit that I¡¯m jealous. Let¡¯s see how long it takes to walk out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s courtyard. My anti-rich tears are dropping in disgrace. ]

    <h4>Chapter 806: An Rao and Bo Xiao Live Broadcast</h4>

    Fifteen minutester, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s camera finally switched on.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can turn it on now.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she looked at thements and they were a field of lemons again.

    [ Next, let¡¯s wee CEO Xia to show off her wealth. ]

    [ I just want to say that I can tell from the interior of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car that the lowest configuration of this car is tens of millions. However, clearly, Xia Wanyuan probably had the bestbination. ]

    [ Lemons surrounded me. ]

    ¡°I¡¯m not unting my wealth. I¡¯ll interact with everyone today. In a while, I¡¯ll have a lucky draw for everyone on Weibo.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that since it was a live broadcast, she had to make everyone happy, so she wanted to have a lucky draw for some prizes for her fans.

    The scene of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous lucky draw causing the Weibo system to copse was still vivid in her mind. The generousizens knew about it, so when Xia Wanyuan mentioned the lucky draw, thements became excited.

    ¡°Sheng¡± rewarded the broadcaster with a Myriad of Stars.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was speaking, an ount with extremely cool special effects entered the live-stream. Everyone knew who this ount was.

    Instantly, thements flooded with ¡°Great Summer Pact¡±.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling was also watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast. Seeing the Great Summer Pact, Jun Shiling was unhappy.

    However, his main ount had already been blocked by Xia Wanyuan.

    Because Jun Shiling¡¯s main ount was too eye-catching, Xia Wanyuan was worried that he would run to the live-stream in excitement, so she permanently blocked his main ount.

    Jun Shiling thought for a while and logged into the alternate ount of ¡°Jun Shiling 1111111¡± that he had not used in a long time.

    The screen was filled with 99 +ments, and there were even people who mocked him every day for being a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

    Jun Shiling ignored these maliciousments and opened his alternate ount to send Xia Wanyuan a full screen of gifts.

    Jun Shiling still did not know that his ount had already be a wanted target for all the fans on the Inte.

    Everyone really did not expect that this famous fan of imagination would dare to jump in front of everyone.

    Hence, when Jun Shiling entered ten Myriad of Stars and was about to give it to Xia Wanyuan, a notification popped up on Weibo. ¡°Because too many people have reported you, your ount has been temporarily blocked. Please abide by your words and actions. Thank you for your cooperation.¡±

    Jun Shiling:<i>?¡­ Do I have time to buy Weibo now?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan still did not know that Jun Shiling had a alternate ount, so she did not pay much attention to the dispute on thements.

    ¡°We¡¯re at my friend¡¯s door.¡± As they chatted, she quickly arrived at the address An Rao had given her.

    When she rang the doorbell, someone quickly opened the door. ¡°Sister, I missed you so much!¡± An Rao had yed with Xiao Bao a lot, and even her words became like Xiao Bao¡¯s.

    After entering, Xia Wanyuan showed the live-stream interface to An Rao. An Rao knew that such surprise activities often happened in the entertainment industry, so she didn¡¯t mind. She even graciously greeted the audience.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Bo Xiao?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked into the house. This was the first time she hade.

    ¡°He¡¯s cooking. That dog man thinks that my food tastes bad,¡± An Raoined to Xia Wanyuan. Coincidentally, Bo Xiao came out of the kitchen and was about to call her sister-inw.

    An Rao reacted and hurriedly ran over. She hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s waist and whispered into his ear, ¡°Yuan Yuan is live-streaming.¡±

    Bo Xiao immediately understood and swallowed the words¡¯ sister-inw ¡®.

    Thements had already exploded because of Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s appearance.

    [ Oh my god, Bo Xiao actually knows how to cook. What kind of immortal novel character is this? ]

    [ I¡¯m dying ofughter. An Rao actually called Bo Xiao a dog man. Bo Xiao is actually very used to this nickname. The two of them are really cute. ]

    Xia Wanyuan had already eaten, so she rejected An Rao¡¯s invitation and sat on the sofa waiting for the two of them to finish eating.

    As for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone, An Rao took it.

    ¡°Just treat it as adjusting to filming the variety show in advance.¡± An Rao knew that Bo Xiao had never filmed such a reality program and wanted him to familiarize himself with the camera in advance.

    However, when she finished speaking, she saw that the live-stream was filled with question marks.

    Only then did An Rao¡¯s eyes widen. She cursed in her heart and looked at Bo Xiao. ¡°Oh no, did I say something wrong?¡±

    ¡°Nonsense, you¡¯re so stupid.¡± Ever since An Rao protested that knocking her head would make her stupid, Bo Xiao had changed to pinching her face.

    [ AHHHHH! I¡¯ve finally waited for this! ]

    [ There¡¯s actually a variety show!! It¡¯s ¡°We¡¯re in Love¡±. Wow, wow, I¡¯m so looking forward to it. ]

    Since she had already confirmed it, there was no problem telling everyone about it. An Rao put her phone aside and tasted Bo Xiao¡¯s food.

    ¡°Your meat isn¡¯t very soft.¡± An Rao tried topete with Bo Xiao in cooking.

    ¡°It¡¯s your teeth that aren¡¯t good.¡±

    ¡°This vegetable is too old.¡±

    ¡°Then eat something else.¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t even cook as well as me, yet you say that the food I make tastes like dog food.¡± Yesterday, she had only failed her experiment with a new dish and had been scolded by Bo Xiao. Even now, An Rao was still brooding over it.

    ¡°Woof.¡± Bo Xiao did not care if it was a live broadcast and shouted, ¡°Feed me, okay? Who did I cook for? Isn¡¯t this to let you rest for a while?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao ate her rice in embarrassment.<i>?This person was really¡­ Why didn¡¯t he talk properly? He would only be happy if he was criticized.?</i>

    [ I don¡¯t know why, but the lemons are surrounding me. ]

    [ Woof, woof, woof. I¡¯m the dog. A single dog. ]

    [ Sigh, a husband who is handsome, has a high position, knows how to cook, and knows how to dote on people is someone else¡¯s. I¡¯m only suitable to squat in the corner and eat dog food. ]

    After An Rao finished eating, Xia Wanyuan nced at the duration of the live broadcast. It was exactly three hours. Xia Wanyuan thought that it should be about time.

    ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s live broadcast. Everyone, go to my Weibo for the lucky drawter. Bye.¡±

    With that, before anyone could react, she switched off the live-stream.

    [ As heartless as ever. ]

    [ She behaves just like a scumbag who leaves after sleeping. ]

    However, no matter how thements shouted, Xia Wanyuan could not hear them.

    Xia Wanyuan nestled on the sofa and yed games. She looked up at An Rao. ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you, right?¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡± Thest time she had agreed to go out and y with Xia Wanyuan, it had been dyed. An Rao had not yed with Xia Wanyuan for a long time, so she was naturally very receptive.

    In An Rao¡¯s opinion, Bo Xiao¡¯s opinion was not considered an opinion.

    ¡°You guys y. I¡¯ll go in and sleep for a while.¡± Bo Xiao could not be bothered to chat with the two women. He greeted them and returned to the bedroom to sleep.

    At first, there were still sounds of people talking in the living room. Bo Xiao listened to the music in the bedroom and read for a while before gradually falling asleep.

    When he woke up again, there was no sound in the living room. Bo Xiao walked out to take a look.

    It was already dark.

    The people in the living room disappeared.

 Chapter 807 - Princess An Rao Was Caught for Playing Around

    <h4>Chapter 807: Princess An Rao Was Caught for ying Around</h4>

    Bo Xiao called An Rao and An Rao picked up after a long time.

    ¡°Where did you go?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m drinking coffee with Yuan Yuan outside. What¡¯s the matter? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up. My phone is out of battery.¡± An Rao said a few words and hung up the phone.

    Bo Xiao looked at the hung up phone and snorted softly.

    <i>Coffee? Probably a nightclub, right??</i>As someone who had been to countless nightclubs, he was too familiar with the music.

    ¡°This woman is really crazy,¡± Bo Xiao whispered before pulling open the door and walking out.

    In the nightclub where the lights were intertwined, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao wore sunsses and masks, as well as old clothes they had bought from the supermarket. They secretly got into their seats.

    ¡°Sister, do you think Bo Xiao will notice?¡± The deafening music forced An Rao to lean into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and say loudly so that she could hear.

    ¡°I think it¡¯s very possible, so I brought you to change ces.¡± An Rao had just finished the call when Xia Wanyuan felt that it was not safe there, so she brought An Rao across a street to here.

    Many people looked at An Rao¡¯s appearance and felt that she was definitely an expert in the nightclub. However, in reality, An Rao had never been here.

    The two of them had just been scrolling through Weibo in the living room when they suddenly saw a nightclub in Beijing having a special celebration today. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao thought about it and wanted toe and join in the fun.

    They had originally disguised themselves to hide their identities, but everyone else in the dance hall was dressed casually. Only Xia Wanyuan and An Rao, who were wearing grandmother-style flower shirts, masks, and sunsses, instantly became the focus of the dance hall.

    ¡°Sister, why do I feel that our outfits are wrong?¡± Receiving strange gazes from all directions, An Rao felt a little unnatural.

    ¡°Ignore them. Quick, look. There¡¯s a performance on stage.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never seen such an explicit performance. A dancer, who had worn just enough to cover her essentials, came out.

    Updates by

    However, putting aside the values of the secr world, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was quite interesting to twist it.

    After all, as an ancient person from a thousand years ago, she was very curious about many things in the modern world.

    ¡°Wow.¡± An Rao was a little embarrassed, but she could not help but watch the hot dance on the stage.

    The performances on the stage changed wave after wave. Although Xia Wanyuan and An Rao didn¡¯t dance themselves, watching others dance was quite satisfying.

    ¡°Hey, are you here to y cosy? These twodies, do you want to drink a few sses?¡± Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were watching excitedly when a few people with colorful hair suddenly appeared beside them.

    When the hooligans saw the two newbies, although they felt that their attire was a little strange, their figures were quite good, so the hooligans came over with wine sses.

    An Rao subconsciously pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Xia Wanyuan blocked An Rao back. ¡°No, move away.¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t drink, you aren¡¯t giving me face. The twodies must be new.¡± It was fine if Xia Wanyuan did not speak, but once she spoke, her light voice made one want to investigate what kind of face was under the mask to have such a pleasant voice.

    ¡°What face do you have? Tell me about it.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, amotion suddenly came from the side. The hooligans subconsciously looked to the side, and their expressions changed.

    ¡°Hey, Master Mu, what brings you here today?¡±

    The crowd gradually separated. Mu Feng, who had silver hair and was as handsome as an evil god, strode over under the blurred lights in the dance hall.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you getting lost?¡± Mu Feng looked at the hooligans who were nodding and bowing.

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, let¡¯s get lost immediately.¡± Mu Feng had been in nightclubs all year round. Everyone in Beijing knew him. Hearing his words, the gangsters immediately ran away with their tails between their legs.

    Mu Feng nced at the two of them who were wrapped up like olddies and could not help butugh. ¡°Are you done watching? Let¡¯s go after watching.¡±

    They had seen enough, so Xia Wanyuan pulled An Rao out. Mu Feng followed Xia Wanyuan, and no one dared to approach them.

    The moment she left the nightclub, the deafening music seemed to be isted inside the door. Sitting in Mu Feng¡¯s car, An Rao took off her mask and took in the fresh air outside.

    ¡°The two of you are really amazing.¡± Mu Feng looked at the two flowery T-shirts on Xia Wanyuan and An Rao in disdain.

    If not for the fact that he was more familiar with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure, he would not dare to believe that the woman who was dressed like a lunatic was actually Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mr. Mu Feng, right? Please send us back. Thank you.¡± Seeing that the car had stopped for a long time, An Rao could not help but call out to him.

    Mu Feng sat crookedly in the car and raised a strand of silver hair. He looked at An Rao and then at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Do you still need me to send you? Someone will probablye and get you in less than ten seconds.¡±

    ??!!!

    An Rao thought to herself,<i>?Oh no, if I go back, won¡¯t the dog man argue with me until tomorrow?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the flustered An Rao, hooked her hand, and whispered a few words in her ear. An Rao instantly calmed down.

    Soon, Bo Xiao¡¯s car arrived. An Rao obediently got out of the car. Bo Xiao honked at Mu Feng to express his gratitude, then drove An Rao home.

    Not far away, the Phantom slowly approached. Xia Wanyuan got out of the car herself and knocked on Mu Feng¡¯s car window. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Mu Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the clothes on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I only beg you not to ruin your beautiful face and temperament. Don¡¯t wear such clothes that hurt my eyes.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan quietly looked at the clothes on her body. At that time, she had mainly wanted to hide her identity, so she casually went to a supermarket to get clothes.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze.

    Sensing that Jun Shiling would definitely settle things with her today, Xia Wanyuan quietly sat beside Jun Shiling.

    She did not dare to hug Jun Shiling because her clothes were too ugly.

    Jun Shiling was amused by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rare obedience.

    He reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan onto hisp. ¡°Your clothes don¡¯t look good. Go back and change.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. He was not as angry as she had imagined and looked rather calm.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you angry with me today?¡± Although Xia Wanyuan did not know much about modern nightclubs, the atmosphere inside was more chaotic. ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s character, he definitely did not like her going to such a ce.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know you.¡± Xia Wanyuan had only gone to y out of curiosity. Jun Shiling took off the mask on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and rubbed the red marks on her face. ¡°Next time, if you want to y, tell me. I¡¯ll go with you. There are all sorts of people there, and it¡¯s easy for something to happen. I¡¯ll be more relieved if I go with you.¡±

 Chapter 808 - Finally Together

    <h4>Chapter 808: Finally Together</h4>

    ¡°Have you been there?¡± Xia Wanyuan was curious. Jun Shiling did not look like someone who would go to a nightclub.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been there before when I was on a mission.¡± So he knew that there were people from all walks of life inside and was worried when Xia Wanyuan came out and yed by herself.

    ¡°Alright, am I quite ugly in this?¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and looked at the flower shirt on her.

    ¡°No, you¡¯re the prettiest. You look good in anything,¡± Jun Shiling said extremely seriously.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan found it funny. Sometimes, she even felt that she had drugged Jun Shiling.?<i>Otherwise, why was he so obsessed with me?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Bo Xiao stepped on the elerator all the way home and the speed of the car soared. An Rao sat obediently in the front passenger seat and acted as a silent mascot.

    After getting out of the car, Bo Xiao strode home as if he did not want to care about An Rao. An Rao walked slowly.

    ¡°Hurry up. The elevator is almost gone.¡± Seeing An Rao dawdle, Bo Xiao stopped and waited for her.

    Seeing Bo Xiao stop and wait for her, An Rao smiled and ran over.

    After returning home and closing the door, Bo Xiao was about to settle scores with An Rao. ¡°You¡¯ve really grown capable.¡±

    ¡°Hubby,¡± An Rao hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s waist from behind and called out gently.

    ¡°¡­ Don¡¯t y this trick.¡± Bo Xiao turned around and pushed An Rao¡¯s hand away. He wanted to continue telling her about kidnapping Xia Wanyuan to the nightclub.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, I like you so much.¡± When Bo Xiao pushed her away, An Rao immediately wrapped herself around him again. She hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s waist and looked up. ¡°Why are you so handsome? You¡¯re so good to me. Your temper is good too. Everything is good.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s throat rolled as he looked at An Rao with love in his eyes. ¡°Cut it out. You¡¯re dressed like a crazy person. Why are you learning to y the honey trap?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao looked down at her clothes.?<i>They were indeed a little ugly.</i>

    <i>However, was it really useless??</i>She could feel Bo Xiao¡¯s reaction. An Rao blushed and looked up at Bo Xiao suspiciously.

    Bo Xiao also wanted to scold her. Who would have thought that An Rao, who was dressed like a lunatic, would say a few nice words and he would be affected?

    ¡°Go and change your clothes quickly. Also, you smell like alcohol.¡± Bo Xiao pushed An Rao away and walked into the bedroom as if he was escaping.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Sighs came from the balcony of the Fu family¡¯s vi.

    ¡°Son, take it that I¡¯m begging you, okay? After so many years, if she likes you even a little, I¡¯ll go and propose for you without a second thought. But as you can see, she doesn¡¯t have any feelings for you at all.¡±

    Mrs. Fu looked at her son, who was getting thinner by the day, and felt ufortable.

    Back then, when Fu Li was about to graduate, he suddenly changed his major. His family did not allow it, so he fell out with them and went out to explore. After so many years, the Fu family had long lost those biases, but Fu Li had always been outside.

    It was not easy for him toe back, but he had made himself like this. As a mother, her heart ached when she saw this.

    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m the one who has let you down. Didn¡¯t you arrange a blind date for me? Where is it? I¡¯ll see her tomorrow.¡± Fu Li¡¯s expression was nonchnt, as if nothing could pique his interest.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll arrange it for you.¡± Finally, when Fu Li relented, Mrs. Fu heaved a sigh of relief.

    After Mrs. Fu left, Fu Liy on the balcony alone and looked at the stars in the sky.

    In a daze, he was still that lively youth who had just graduated. He had rented a small and dpidated apartment with Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin. There was no air conditioner in the summer, and the three of themy on the balcony like this to be cold and look at the stars.

    Thinking back, although it was tiring at that time, they were pure and sincere. As he watched, Fu Liy on the balcony and gradually fell asleep.

    Until his phone rang and pulled him out of his sleep.

    Fu Li took the phone and immediately sat up.

    ¡°Hello, Tang Yin, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± If nothing happened, Tang Yin would not call him. Fu Li was nervous immediately.

    ¡°Where are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m at my parents¡¯ house. What¡¯s wrong?¡± As he spoke, he got up to put on his clothes. He was worried that something had happened to Tang Yin.

    ¡°I¡¯m at our old ce. Come over.¡±

    ¡°Okay, wait for me.¡± Fu Li left the vi in a hurry. Mrs. Fu, who was preparing to sleep, felt a headache when she saw him.

    ¡°Where are you going again? It¡¯s sote at night.

    ¡°Hmph, where else can he go? Who do you think can make him so anxious?¡± Fu Li¡¯s father knew his son very well.

    ¡°Sigh, what an ill-fated rtionship. I wonder when our son will get married.¡± Madam Fu had a headache whenever she thought of Fu Li¡¯s rtionship. She really did not know when this child would seed.

    There was no one on the streets at night. Fu Li drove at the fastest speed and quickly arrived at the old apartment.

    He knocked on the door. Footsteps came from inside the house. The door opened.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Fu Li looked at Tang Yin in concern, then was stunned. Tang Yin was already good-looking. She should have specially dressed up today, making her look even more beautiful and moving.

    ¡°Come in.¡± Tang Yin opened the door and made way for Fu Li.

    ¡°Did Liu Xingchuan bully you again?¡± Through Tang Yin¡¯s reaction and her attire, Fu Li immediately thought that Tang Yin might have just returned after seeing Liu Xingchuan. Although his heart ached dully, Fu Li could not help but want to ask if Liu Xingchuan had bullied her.

    Tang Yin sat on the sofa and shook her head.

    ¡°Then what¡¯s wrong with you? Is there a problem with your work? Or is it something else? You and¡­¡± Fu Li was halfway through his sentence when Tang Yin suddenly pounced into his arms.

    Fu Li was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Fu Li,¡± Tang Yin said.

    ¡°Tell me, if there¡¯s anything, let¡¯s settle it together.¡± Fu Li wanted to pat Tang Yin¡¯s back, but he was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he could only ce his hands in midair awkwardly.

    ¡°Hug me.¡±

    Tang Yin¡¯s words sessfully made Fu Li put down his hand. Fu Li reached out and hugged Tang Yin tightly.

    Even if it was just a moment of warmth, he did not want to let it go.

    ¡°Do you still like me?¡± Feeling Fu Li¡¯s strong heartbeat, Tang Yin smiled.

    ¡°I do. Of course I do. I always have.¡±<i>?I have liked you since we first met more than a decade ago. It had never changed in all these years.?</i>¡°Why are you asking?¡±

    ¡°I wanted to ask you if you¡¯re willing to have a girlfriend?¡± Tang Yin sat up from Fu Li¡¯s arms. This time, Fu Li was the only person in her bright eyes.

    ¡°Say that again.¡± Fu Li could not believe it.

    ¡°I said, are you willing to have a-¡± Before Tang Yin could finish speaking, Fu Li pulled her into his arms.

    ¡°I¡¯m willing, I¡¯m willing even if I die. You have no idea how long I¡¯ve waited for you to say this.¡± Hugging Tang Yin tightly, Fu Li felt that his entire embrace was filled with her.

    Sensing the joy in Fu Li¡¯s heart, Tang Yin was also happy.

    Over the past few days, she had been thinking about how she felt about Fu Li.

    After knowing that Fu Li was actually not sick that day, the first feeling she had was relief. Since Fu Li was healthy, she did not feel so guilty anymore.

    Then, she lived here herself. The number of times she thought of Fu Li increased. She felt that even if she did not feel guilty, she was willing to give Fu Li a chance with her.

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡± After the two of them confessed their feelings for each other, Fu Li stayed behind directly. Now that they were sleeping together on the single bed, it seemed a little crowded. The two of them could only stick close to each other to not fall.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Leaning into Fu Li¡¯s arms, Tang Yin felt that she was reconciling with the past.

    ¡°I¡¯m really very happy. Really. I¡¯ve never been so happy. Will I wake up tomorrow morning and realize that it¡¯s a dream?¡± Fu Li was a little afraid that this was a dream.

    ¡°Then sleep first and see it tomorrow morning.¡± After so many years, Tang Yin finally saw Fu Li¡¯s childish side again. She was very emotional.

    ¡°Okay, good night, Ah Yin.¡± Fu Li lowered his head, wanting to kiss Tang Yin¡¯s face, but he recalled the nightmares Tang Yin had experienced.

    Fu Li thought that it was already very good if Tang Yin did not resist his contact now.

    ¡°Goodnight.¡± Tang Yin did not know that Fu Li had so many thoughts and fell asleep herself.

    Fu Li was in a half-asleep state the entire night. When the sky lit up the next day, Fu Li opened his eyes. He looked into his arms and saw that Tang Yin was sleeping soundly.

    The sunlight shone in through the window, bringing with it a warm temperature. Fu Li felt that only now did he really have a sense of authenticity. Tang Yin had not woken up, but Fu Li could not sleep anymore. He seriously examined this woman he had loved for more than ten years.

    After a while, someone knocked on the door.

    Fu Li patted Tang Yin¡¯s back tofort her, then got out of bed to open the door.

    ¡°Tang Yin, you like to eat-¡± Liu Xingchuan carried a pile of breakfast and was about to enter excitedly, but he stopped when he saw Fu Li, who was wearing slippers and pajamas.

 Chapter 809 - The Three of Them Embarrassed; Trailer

    <h4>Chapter 809: The Three of Them Embarrassed; Trailer</h4>

    Liu Xingchuan¡¯s expression cracked for a moment. He looked behind Fu Li and tightened his grip on the bun. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    He had clearly heard that Tang Yin was living here now.

    ¡°Why can¡¯t I be here? I¡¯ve lived here since I returned to China. Is there a problem? I paid for this house back then.¡± Facing his former best brother, Fu Li¡¯s eyes were filled with mockery.

    ¡°I was wrong. Sorry to disturb you.¡± The brothers from back then were at each other¡¯s throats when they met. Because of what had happened back then, Liu Xingchuan felt guilty about seeing Fu Li and was unwilling to exin to him about anything.

    Liu Xingchuan turned to leave but was stunned when he saw a pair of high heels beside him.

    He had seen this shoe before. It was the one Tang Yin was wearing a few days ago.

    At that moment, there was movement in the house.

    Panic shed across Fu Li¡¯s eyes. Even until now, he did not feel that what they had donest night was real. Tang Yin had liked Liu Xingchuan for so many years. He was afraid that Tang Yin would go back on her word if she saw Liu Xingchuan.

    ¡°Why are you up so early?¡± Tang Yin walked out with a yawn, then stopped yawning halfway.

    Tang Yin nced at Liu Xingchuan, whose face was filled with shock, and then at Fu Li, who was standing there in a daze. She walked to the fridge alone. ¡°You don¡¯t want to eat corn porridge in the morning, right? I¡¯ll make some noodles for you.¡±

    By the time she took the things out of the fridge, she did not hear anyone reply. Tang Yin could not help but turn her head. ¡°I¡¯m asking you. Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡±

    Fu Li nced at Liu Xingchuan and then at Tang Yin. ¡°Are you talking to me?¡±

    ¡°Otherwise?¡± Tang Yin looked at Fu Li speechlessly.?<i>Was this person stupid?</i>

    ¡°Oh, oh, oh. That tomato egg noodlesst time was enough.¡± Fu Li seemed to be alive because of Tang Yin¡¯s question. The scene of Tang Yin going back on her word that he was worried about did not happen. Fu Li suddenly felt that Tang Yin seemed to be really willing to be his girlfriend and not on a whim.

    ¡°You two.¡± Liu Xingchuan held the door frame tightly and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

    ¡°Do you want to stay and eat together?¡± After Tang Yin sorted out everything, her heart was only calm when she faced Liu Xingchuan.

    The room seemed to have been divided into two different worlds.

    With the living room as the boundary, Liu Xingchuan and Fu Li stood awkwardly by the door. In the kitchen, Tang Yin was busy frying eggs, making hot milk, and the soup of egg noodles gurgled. The smell of tomatoes gradually filled the entire house with heat.

    ¡°Why are you standing there? Come and help me carry it.¡± Tang Yin turned off the fire and shouted at Fu Li.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Li hurriedly walked to Tang Yin and took a deep breath. ¡°It smells too good. It must be delicious.¡±

    ¡°Try this egg. Is it salty?¡± As Tang Yin spoke, she picked up a fried egg and fed it to Fu Li. Fu Li opened his mouth and bit down, the corners of his eyes filled with joy. ¡°It¡¯s not salty, just nice.¡±

    Seeing Fu Li smile foolishly, the corners of Tang Yin¡¯s lips could not help but curve up. The two of them stood opposite each other, only having each other in their eyes.

    By the time Fu Li and Tang Yin brought a pile of things to the living room, Liu Xingchuan was already gone.

    ¡°Ah Yin.¡± Fu Li looked at Tang Yin hesitantly.

    ¡°Do you hate him?¡± Tang Yin looked at Fu Li.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Fu Li nodded honestly. Back then, Liu Xingchuan had betrayed his brotherhood and even hurt Tang Yin like that. Five years ago, Fu Li had beaten Liu Xingchuan up fiercely before leaving. Now, he did not want to see him anymore.

    ¡°If you hate him, we¡¯ll stay away from him from now on.¡±

    Tang Yin used ¡°we¡±, and Fu Li¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Okay!!¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    With the full support of the Jun Corporation, the post-production of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was almost guaranteed.

    The team worked hard and finally made this drama to honor the heroes on the eve of National Day.

    Without any warning, the official Weibo ount of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± suddenly posted a one minute trailer.

    The audience, who were already tired of the aesthetic standards of all the crude country films in the country, immediately became interested after seeing the trailer of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

 Chapter 810 - Righteous Hooligan

    <h4>Chapter 810: Righteous Hooligan</h4>

    The beginning of the video was an extremely cold tone. Rain poured on the eaves, but it did not extinguish the mes of war in the suburbs.

    However, the scene changed again and a decadent voice sounded. There was no destion in the Shanghai Theater, which was separated from the outside world by a wall.

    A long mirror gradually pulled from the door to the stage. It was brightly lit and extremely luxurious.

    At the far end of the camera stood a graceful woman in a red cheongsam. Every frown and smile was flirtatious. She turned her head slightly, and her gently raised eyebrows had endless charm.

    The next scene turned into a university campus with signs everywhere. A young professor in white and ck pants handed ady¡¯s hat to the enchanting and charming woman in front of him. His elegant manners hid the amazement in his eyes.

    The camera kept switching and finally fixed on a cold night of the month.

    The captain of the special forces, Chu Pingjiang, who was dressed in a uniform, froze. He faced Qin Manyue, who had thrown herself into Yanan, with a gun under the moonlight. Their fierce gazes added endless tension to the entire scene.

    [ Ahhh, Yan Ci, who¡¯s wearing a military uniform, is so handsome! I¡¯m already pregnant the next second! ]

    [ Quick, put me on the inhaler. I can¡¯t take it anymore. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheongsam really kills me. Mommy, this is too charming and moving. She¡¯s simply a living wild rose in Shanghai. ]

    [ Let¡¯s talk about it. As an original fan, I think this casting is excellent. If the plot doesn¡¯t copse and the post-production stabilizes, this drama will definitely be a top-notch production. ]

    [ The casting is not bad, but don¡¯t forget the nature of the country dramas in the past few years. I¡¯m afraid anyway. Before the drama has an ending, I won¡¯t believe any of the publicity by the drama team. ]

    Over the years, there had been too many country dramas that had been crudely filmed with the excuse of paying respect to their ancestors.

    The trailers released by these domestic dramas at the beginning were also more shocking. They were even teased by theizens. ¡°The essence of the entire drama might be in the introductory films.¡±

    Hence, although Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci¡¯s appearances matched the original, many people still had a wait-and-see attitude towards the quality of the drama. Some people even said that they felt that domestic dramas no longer had a market, and that this drama would be Yan Ci¡¯s reputation shoring.

    However, no matter what the controversy was, the production team quickly announced that the drama would be released on the National Day holiday.

    The production team began to prepare for the publicity event before the broadcast.

    The pair of silhouettes surrounded by light in the kitchen were like a sword that stabbed straight into Liu Xingchuan¡¯s heart.

    He did not even know when he had left the apartment building.

    He returned to the hotel in a daze. The smell of alcohol surrounded him.

    It was only then that he seemed to be unable to hold on anymore. He closed the door and slid to the ground.

    In the past, he and Tang Yin were so in love that he thought that Tang Yin would always wait for him.

    For so many years, he had hidden by Shi Tian¡¯s side day and night for the sake of taking revenge one day. Then, he could turn around and look for Tang Yin and promise her a life.

    After so many years, Tang Yin had always been single. He was also confident that he had a special ce in Tang Yin¡¯s heart.?<i>Why was Tang Yin not on the same spot after I settled everything?</i>

    Liu Xingchuan casually touched the wine bottle beside him and bit open it with his teeth. He gulped down half the bottle.

    ¡°No, Ah Yin only wanted to anger me. How could she ept Fu Li?¡± Liu Xingchuan seemed to be constantly convincing himself. As he drank, he mumbled, ¡°No.¡±

    The wine bottles by his feet fell to the ground. Liu Xingchuan had a splitting headache. He took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Li.

    Turning off his phone, Liu Xingchuan looked at the light outside the window in the dark and mumbled, ¡°Ah Yin, you love me. You only belong to me.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Rao really did not expect that Bo Xiao¡¯s proposal and engagement banquet were real.

    She had always followed Bo Xiao¡¯s words. After all, Bo Xiao looked sloppy when he was not working. His words were real and fake. An Rao could not tell if he was teasing her or discussing problems with her.

    It was only when An Rao discovered the design for the engagement banquet by the bed that An Rao suddenly felt that Bo Xiao was serious this time.

    ¡°Are you stupid? I already said that the engagement banquet will be on the sixth of next month. You were the one who was stupid. You thought I was joking with you.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes were filled with teasing as he handed the design to An Rao. ¡°How is it? Look at what you want to change.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so anxious to get engaged?¡± An Rao was a little aggrieved.?<i>He did not even propose. Why are we getting engaged directly?</i>

    In her novels and television dramas, boys always knelt on one knee and proposed to girls with rings. But when it came to her, he actually skipped this step.

    Bo Xiao did not seem to notice the disappointment in An Rao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then you don¡¯t want to be engaged?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± An Rao was conflicted. It was fine if he did not propose. She was also very happy to agree to the marriage with Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Then why don¡¯t we get married?¡± Bo Xiao suddenly thought of something and sat beside An Rao. ¡°Do you think we¡¯ll be righteous after we¡¯re engaged?¡±

    ¡°What righteous?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao in confusion.

    A mischievous smile appeared on Bo Xiao¡¯s face. He leaned forward and whispered in An Rao¡¯s ear.

    This attracted An Rao¡¯s beating. ¡°Hooligan!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 811: Father and Son Interacted</h4>

    Bo Xiao smiled and epted An Rao¡¯s fists, pulling her into his arms. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t really want to invite your parents. They¡¯re not good to you at all.¡±

    ¡°At least they didn¡¯t starve me to death.¡± An Rao had a bigger heart than Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Little fool, you¡¯re quite magnanimous.¡± Bo Xiao lowered his head. What he saw was An Rao¡¯s extremely curvaceous figure. His throat rolled. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to wear more casual clothes at home? Why are you wearing such tight clothes again?¡±

    Although he wanted to be a gentleman, he could not stop An Rao from torturing him every day.

    ¡°¡­ Are you satisfied if I wear a military coat tomorrow?¡± An Rao gritted her teeth.?<i>He even had to care about my clothes. This dog man is really problematic.?</i>

    ¡°That¡¯s fine too. Wear it.¡± Bo Xiao nodded in all seriousness, as if this was not autumn at all but a winter with heavy snow.

    ¡°You¡¯re so annoying.¡± An Rao pounced on Bo Xiao with bared fangs and brandished ws. The two of them rolled around on the sofa.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was painting a design draft at the table. Xiu Yi was being renovated, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to take advantage of this time to draw more designs. When the shop was renovated, she could directly release the new product.

    ¡°Daddy, your writing isn¡¯t as good as Mommy¡¯s. I want Mommy to teach me.¡± At the study table, Xiao Bao was holding a small brush and writing his name on the paper one by one.

    ¡°Dream on. Write properly and don¡¯t be distracted.¡± Jun Shiling rejected Xiao Bao¡¯s request with a sentence.

    It was already very tiring for Xia Wanyuan to draw design drawings every day. His calligraphy skills were not weak either. Although he could notpare to Xia Wanyuan, he was more than qualified to teach Xiao Bao.

    However, there were too many strokes of the word ¡°Jun Yin¡±. Xiao Bao wrote his name with a bitter expression for a long time but could not finish it.

    ¡°Daddy, why did you give me such aplicated name? The children in kindergarten have alreadypleted a few questions, but I haven¡¯t finished writing my name.¡± Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling, his round eyes filled with confusion.

    Jun Yin was not something Jun Shiling came up with to begin with. When Xiao Bao was born, he had no feelings for this son at all. After the child was carried out of the hospital, it was Old Master who named him.

    Yin represented the continuation of the old master¡¯s expectations for his descendants.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were still wide open, wanting to find an answer from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Who¡¯s the tallest in your ss?¡± Looking at his son¡¯s stupid and cute expression, Jun Shiling wanted to tease him.

    ¡°Me!!¡± Xiao Bao puffed up his chest proudly. He ate and drank milk obediently every day, so he was the tallest person in their ss.

    ¡°The tallest person must have the name with the longest strokes,¡± Jun Shiling said seriously.

    Although Xiao Bao was three years old, he was much smarter than children his age. He expressed his doubts about Jun Shiling¡¯s reason. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re a liar.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling supported his head up and stuffed the brush back into Xiao Bao¡¯s hand. ¡°Continue writing and write your sister¡¯s name.¡±

    ¡°Sister?¡± Speaking of younger sister, Xiao Bao was excited. ¡°Daddy, why aren¡¯t you working hard? When can I have a sister?¡±

    <i>I really want a soft and cute sister.</i>?Xiao Bao pouted and looked at Jun Shiling bitterly.

    <i>It¡¯s all Daddy¡¯s fault for being too lousy.?</i>

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling wanted to say that he had already worked very hard, but what could he do if someone did not cooperate?

    Xiao Bao practiced calligraphy for a while. His hand was too sore, so he reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, hug.¡±

    ¡°You are a man. Don¡¯t act coquettishly.¡± Jun Shiling hated seeing Xiao Bao sticking to Xia Wanyuan every day and acting coquettishly.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xiao Bao puffed up his bun-like face and stepped forward to grab Jun Shiling¡¯s leg. His round eyes were like ck grapes. ¡°Daddy, I love you so much. I want Daddy to hug me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was speechless. All of them were extremely good at acting coquettishly. Although he looked disdainful, Jun Shiling still picked Xiao Bao up.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes curved up as he nted a kiss on Jun Shiling¡¯s face with a milky fragrance. He hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck in a very dependent manner.

    The warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes had just appeared.

    In the next second,

    ¡°Daddy, I want to sleep with Mommy tonight.¡±

    Alright, that was the end of the loving father and son scene.

 Chapter 812: Little Angel

    Chapter 812: Little Angel

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling rejected her mercilessly. He even felt that Xia Wanyuan was too busy every day. He had spent less time with her. If this little mischievous brat was added, Xia Wanyuan would leave even less time for him.

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re a bad person.¡± Although he said that Jun Shiling was a bad person, Xiao Bao still hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and did not let go.

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly and looked down at the fair and tender Xiao Bao. ¡°If I¡¯m a bad person, what are you?¡±

    ¡°I was born by Mommy. Mommy is a fairy, I¡¯m a little angel!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s round eyes darted around, not wanting to enter the pit Jun Shiling had dug for him.

    ¡°...¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.<em>Alright, I didn¡¯t pay the school fees for nothing. You even have some brains.</em>

    Although he said that he did not want Xiao Bao to sleep with him, Jun Shiling still brought the little dumpling into the bedroom when it was time to sleep. ¡°This is an exception. You¡¯re not allowed to make a scene next time.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± The moment Xiao Bao was ced on the bed, he quickly crawled into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms. ¡°Mommy!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down the book in her hand and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s furry head. ¡°Good boy, I¡¯ll wash the facial mask first before coaxing you to sleep.¡±

    Xiao Bao nodded. Xia Wanyuan was about to lift the nket when Jun Shiling stopped her. ¡°I¡¯ll do it. Lie down.¡±

    Xia Wanyuany back down and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s back while telling him a story.

    Xiao Bao clung tightly to Xia Wanyuan. Smelling her fragrance, his eyes were filled with stars.

    Jun Shiling quickly walked over with a warm towel. He sat by the bed and patiently wiped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was wiped clean, Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep in her arms.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan carefully pat Xiao Bao, Jun Shiling felt a little jealous. ¡°He¡¯s not made of ss. You spoil him every day. As a man, he likes to act coquettishly for no reason. You¡¯re the one who spoiled him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°You spoil him no less than me.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling always had a cold expression in front of Xiao Bao, Jun Shiling doted on Xiao Bao very much when he did not make mistakes. Otherwise, Xiao Bao would not have appeared in the master bedroom today.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling was not angry at being exposed. Hey down beside Xia Wanyuan and pulled the mother and son into his arms.

    Feeling the warmth behind her, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Brother.¡±

    ¡°Shut up. So what if a beggar wore a dragon robe? Do you really think you can be an emperor?¡± Xuan Sheng ced his feet on the table and looked disdainfully at Xuan Li, who was sitting upright.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m the emperor or not. I only know that I¡¯m the general manager of Glory World Corporation now. I don¡¯t have to remind Deputy Head Xuan about this, do I?¡± Seeing that Xuan Sheng was so unmoved, Xuan Li looked unhappy. He tidied the sleeves of his suit and looked at Xuan Sheng mockingly.

    Using Xuan Sheng¡¯s participation in variety shows to damage thepany¡¯s image and cause thepany¡¯s stock price to suffer aughable loss, the board of directors forcefully removed Xuan Sheng¡¯s general manager title and reduced him to the Deputy Head of the investment department of Glory World Corporation.

    He had thought that this matter would anger Xuan Sheng. Who would have thought that he would act as if nothing had happened and continue to do whatever he wanted in thepany? Xuan Li could not understand this person¡¯s thoughts.

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Xuan Sheng could not be bothered to listen to this person argue like a fly and chased him out.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem for me to get lost.¡± Xuan Li stood up and smiled. ¡°But I came today to tell you that all the projects under the Xiafeng Group have been assigned to me by the corporation. Brother, please hand over the core proposal n.¡±

 Chapter 813 - Achillesâ€™ Heel

    <h4>Chapter 813: Achilles¡¯ Heel</h4>

    Hearing this, Xuan Sheng finally looked up at Xuan Li. His eyes narrowed with a hint of light.

    As expected, Xuan Li thought,?<i>this is Xuan Sheng¡¯s Achilles¡¯ heel.?</i>

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Xuan Li for a while. Finally, his thin lips moved and he spat out a word.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll leave immediately. Also, didn¡¯t anyone inform you from Xiafeng Group? They¡¯ve already agreed to our proposal and even signed the new contract with us.¡± After Xuan Li finished speaking, he saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression change. Xuan Li smiled smugly and left the office.

    After Xuan Li left, Xuan Sheng put down his feet on the table and subconsciously took out his phone. However, he realized that he did not have Xia Wanyuan¡¯s contact number.

    Since Xuan Li dared to say so, it must be that the contracts between the two parties had been signed. As the chairman, it was impossible for Xia Wanyuan to not know of such a change in partners.

    <i>Then, did Xia Wanyuan agree to this??</i>

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s grip on the phone tightened slightly. The corners of his eyes drooped as he covered the expression in his eyes.

    ¡°Young Master, Miss Xia said thatst time. She shouldn¡¯t change her partner, right? I¡¯ll go and verify this with Xiafeng Corporation.¡± The assistant saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression and knew that his young master was feeling ufortable. As the assistant spoke, he wanted to call Xiafeng Corporation.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xuan Sheng stopped his assistant. ¡°Don¡¯t call. That¡¯s it. Bring my food in. I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Okay.¡± Although he did not understand Xuan Sheng¡¯s mentality, the assistant still listened to Xuan Sheng and went out to get food for him.

    Xuan Sheng closed his eyes and stroked the Buddha Bead in his hand.

    He was afraid that he would know that Xia Wanyuan had decided to change partners, so he chose to escape.

    If he did not ask, there was at least a 50% chance.

    Xuan Li came out of Xuan Sheng¡¯s office and looked at his assistant and security guard. ¡°Do I still need to teach you thepany¡¯s system and rules? Is the Deputy Head fit to sit in this office?¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan, that¡¯s Young Master Xuan after all.¡± The security guard looked at Xuan Li hesitantly. Although Xuan Sheng had been demoted, he was still the young master of the Xuan family. How would they have the guts to touch Xuan Sheng¡¯s office?

    ¡°Listen to me. Bring someone to move his things downstairs. As the Deputy Head of the investment department, of course he should stay with the employees.¡± Xuan Li turned around and looked disdainfully at Xuan Sheng¡¯srge office. ¡°Before work tomorrow, I want to see my name hung up on this office.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Everyone was observant. This new CEO Xuan was clearly more liked by the chairman. If they had to choose someone to stand with, they would choose this one.

    Night fell. Seeing Xuan Sheng leave thepany, the security guards nced at each other and gathered. They pried open the door of Xuan Sheng¡¯s office, emptied the things inside, and reced Xuan Li¡¯s name on the door.

    Under Yu Qian¡¯s attacks day by day, An Lin quickly fell into Yu Qian¡¯s gentle dream.

    It was another night where she skipped ss and ate with Yu Qian.

    After dinner, the two of them walked side by side under the street lights. An Lin approached Yu Qian from time to time, but he walked straight ahead as if he did not feel anything.

    An Lin secretly nced at Yu Qian¡¯s gentle side profile and was puzzled. Wei Zimu had given her so many things, and their conversations every night were bing more and more gentle. However, when they met, it was as if he had be a different person.

    Especially since he had never touched her, not even hold her hand.

 Chapter 814 - Yu Qian Plays An Lin

    <h4>Chapter 814: Yu Qian ys An Lin</h4>

    At first, when Wei Zimu gave her a bag, An Lin¡¯s heart shrank a little.

    She had heard that many rich people would send clothes, bags, and kidnap people to bed before changing to another beauty to pursue.

    In her heart, she wanted to marry into the Wei family and be a young mistress. She did not want to be a temporary ything for him. Later on, Wei Zimu often gave her things, but he did not even touch her, which relieved her.

    It seemed that Wei Zimu really liked her and did not treat her as a ything.

    However, as time passed, An Lin began to panic.

    ording to her understanding of men, even if they restrained themselves at first, they would be very anxiouster on. However, this young master of the Wei family did not even hold her hand, let alone sleep with her.

    ¡°Junior, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Yu Qian turned around and smiled at An Lin.

    ¡°Senior, I realized that you quite like to send emoticons when you chat.¡± An Lin lowered her head shyly and quickly found a topic.

    ¡°Really? Why didn¡¯t I notice?¡± Yu Qian looked at the shy An Lin, his eyes cold, and his tone was gentle and affectionate. ¡°I probably sent more emoticons when I was chatting with you.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± An Lin looked up at the right time. Starlight fell from her eyes, making her look pure and alluring.

    ¡°I heard that you¡¯re going out for an outing with your roommates next week.¡± Yu Qian stopped talking and changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip and can¡¯t apany you. I¡¯ll give you a gift.¡±

    ¡°What gift?¡± An Lin was really looking forward to Yu Qian¡¯s gift.

    Yu Qian opened his palm and there was a key lying inside. The trident picture on the key was shining.

    An Lin was so surprised that she could not maintain her usual reservedness. ¡°Is this for me?¡±

    The An family was actually considered a rich family in the area, but Father An and Mother An had always been strict. Other than fulfilling their studies¡¯ requirements, they did not agree to anything else.

    A girl in An Lin¡¯s year received a BMW from her boyfriend, which attracted the envy of countless girls in the school.

    Now that Yu Qian had actually given her a Maserati, An Lin could imagine how envious everyone would be of her if she went out with her roommates next week.

    ¡°This is too expensive, Senior. How can I ept it?¡± An Lin waved her hand, her face filled with rejection.

    Yu Qian curled his lips and ced the keys in An Lin¡¯s bag. ¡°It¡¯s just a car. It¡¯s not much money. Take it as my apology. If you don¡¯t ept it, it means that you won¡¯t forgive me.¡±

    ¡°Then, okay.¡± An Lin timidly grabbed Yu Qian¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Thank you, Senior. I¡¯ll drive this car first. Come and take it back whenever you want.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Qian nodded and called the chauffeur over. ¡°Let the chauffeur send you home. I have to go back to thepany to settle something. That car will be sent to your school tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Mm, bye, Senior.¡± An Lin held the car keys and smiled shyly at Yu Qian. Then, she suddenly thought of something. ¡°Aiya!! I forgot. I brought you something.¡±

    As An Lin spoke, she took out a bag from her bag and handed it to Yu Qian. ¡°Senior, I baked these biscuits myself. I heard you say that you liked to eat these yesterday. Compared to your gift, this one of mine is really unpresentable. However, this is a token of my sincerity. Thank you for taking care of me.¡±

    Yu Qian avoided the ce where An Lin had pinched and brought the bag over. ¡°Junior, you¡¯re so virtuous. In my opinion, your gift is a hundred times more precious than my tacky car.¡±

    An Lin smiled and waved at Yu Qian before turning to leave with a confident expression.

    She had specially signed up for a professional training ss on how to catch rich people. It said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple to subdue a man. If he has not touched a woman, then take off his clothes. If he is experienced, then slowly cook it.¡±

    To a man like Wei Zimu, who was used to seeing the daughters of rich families, a little naivety and a meal personally made by him were enough to make him fall in love.

    An Lin raised an eyebrow smugly.?<i>So what if I¡¯m not as good-looking as An Rao? I can still make the young master of the Wei family loyal to me.?</i>

    The car An Lin was in gradually disappeared from sight. Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, took off the suit that An Lin had touched, and threw it on the street tramp.

    The tramp was watching the couple entanglement with his legs crossed. Before he could sigh at the declining world, his face was blurred by a high-end custom-made suit.

    What followed was a bag of biscuits that was thrown in front of him. Yu Qian casually threw it, and some of the biscuits had already scattered on the ground.

    However, the hungry tramp did not care if it was dirty. He grabbed the biscuits on the ground and ate them.

    Biscuits with all sorts of exquisite styles entered the tramp¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Burp.¡± After eating his fill, the tramp looked at the tall young man who had walked away and sighed in confusion. ¡°You don¡¯t even want such a delicious biscuit. You¡¯re really rich.¡±

    Day and night alternated, and a new day pushed the wheels of time to the world.

    There was always some gloomy rain in the autumn. It was an autumn rain and a cold one. Xia Wanyuan woke up and stretched her arms. When she touched the coldness in the air, she instantly had goosebumps.

    Fortunately, the little dumpling in her arms and Jun Shiling behind her were warm. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly retracted her hand.

    ¡°Jun Yin, get up and go to school.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked at him reproachfully. ¡°He¡¯s not awake yet. What¡¯s wrong with letting him sleep a little more?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s not awake?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes, which were rolling even though they were closed, and snorted softly. ¡°If you don¡¯t get up soon, you won¡¯t have any milk candy to eat this year.¡±

    The next second, Xiao Bao instantly jumped out of bed. ¡°I¡¯m going to wash up. Good morning, Daddy and Mommy.¡±

    Under the urging of the milk candy, Xiao Bao instantly ran out of bed and strode to wash up.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to get up too, but Jun Shiling reached out to hug her waist. ¡°Sleep a while more. You sleptte yesterday.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Bao is already up. As his mother, I have to set an example.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Quick, find me clothes. Can I wear a sweater today?¡±

    The clothes in her previous life were grand and beautiful, but Xia Wanyuan also liked modern clothes. The myriad of designs and all kinds of clothes made her look forward to the clothes she wore every day.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay,¡± Jun Shiling said, but his body did not move. He rested his chin on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder and gently sniffed the faint fragrance on her.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go myself,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and was about to get up.

    Jun Shiling pressed her down. ¡°How can I trouble you, Your Highness? I¡¯ll go.¡± With that, Jun Shiling got out of bed reluctantly.

    The temperature was indeed lower today. Jun Shiling had the manor¡¯s stylist specially choose a set to keep Xia Wanyuan warm.

 Chapter 815 - Xuan Sheng Darkness Devour

    <h4>Chapter 815: Xuan Sheng Darkness Devour</h4>

    The autumn rain pattered on the window. Wearing a soft furry sweater, Xia Wanyuan immediately felt the coldness on her body dissipate.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were originally extremely cold, but under the contrast of the white sweater, they were filled with gentleness.

    It was the first time Xia Wanyuan was wearing this. She looked at herself in the mirror curiously. Jun Shiling, who was not far away, had walked over at some point and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist.

    ¡°?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with obvious confusion.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and lifted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin to kiss her.

    <i>This woman is really damn charming. She looked good in anything.?</i>

    Even such a loose sweater made her look gentle like autumn, making one¡¯s heart throb.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan was stopped in front of the mirror by Jun Shiling and tortured. When the two of them went downstairs, Xiao Bao had already gone to school.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°You¡¯re not disciplining yourself at all.¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow slightly.?<i>Why should I set an example? I just need a wife.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xuan Sheng came to work in the morning. Just as he walked to the office door, he realized that the name on it had been changed.

    Xuan Sheng kicked open the door. Xuan Li was sitting inside in a suit. Everything in the office had been cleared and reced with new decorations.

    ¡°Where¡¯s that tea set?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression turned cold. His long eyes were filled with coldness.

    ¡°Deputy Head, please take note of your identity,¡± Xuan Li said and pressed the phone. ¡°What is security doing? Why can everyonee to this floor?¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xuan Li looked up. ¡°This is the general manager¡¯s office, not a ce for you to behave atrociously. If you have anything to say to me, make an appointment with the secretary first.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you. Where¡¯s that tea set?¡± Xuan Sheng clenched his fists. The coldness in his eyes made Xuan Li, who was still smug, instantly lose his voice.

    ¡°Deputy Head, your things have been moved to the investment department downstairs.¡± The secretary saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly came out to help.

    Xuan Sheng turned around and went to the investment department. Everyone in the investment department was very curious about the former crown prince who had been ¡°demoted¡±. They were discussing among themselves when they saw Xuan Sheng walk in with a cold expression. They hurriedly shut their mouths.

    ¡°Where¡¯s my office?¡± Xuan Sheng had always looked reckless in thepany. When was he seen this serious? The security guard who was in charge of moving the things was shocked and pointed inside.

    Xuan Sheng strode into the room.

    The so-called Deputy Head¡¯s office was a small space that was separated by a partition. It could only fit one table and not even a chair. Only half of it was exposed outside the door. Xuan Sheng¡¯s everything was folded and ced on the table. It was packed.

    Xuan Sheng did not feel anything. He went forward and took down the things one by one. He was careful as if he was afraid of breaking something.

    Until he took everything aside, he finally found what he wanted to find.

    However, at that moment, there was only a pile of broken porcin pieces on the table.

    This was the tea set that Xia Wanyuan had drunk. The way she had praised the Snowing Wind Tea for being delicious was still in front of him. Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes.

    He had carefully preserved all the memories rted to Xia Wanyuan, but now, the tea set had been destroyed.

    Not far away, the employees of the investment department looked at the situation fearfully. Although Xuan Sheng was silent, their hearts inexplicably turned cold. They felt as if something was going to happen.

    Over the past few days, Xuan Sheng had listened to the doctor¡¯s instructions. He exercised more and ate regrly. He gradually stopped taking the medicine.

    However, at this moment, his blood seemed to be boiling. Screams came from all directions, attacking his eardrums. Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes gradually turned red, and the agitation in his heart surged out like a wild beast that had lost control.

    Xuan Sheng suddenly turned around and went upstairs. The security guard saw that something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him.

    However, it was toote. Xuan Sheng locked the door.

    The next second, intense fighting sounds came from the house.

    The security guards were so frightened that they hurriedly found tools to knock open the door. However, the materials used to make the door of the general manager¡¯s office was not that easy to pry open.

    By the time they used all their strength to open the door, ten minutes had passed.

    ¡°CEO Xuan!! CEO Xuan, are you okay?¡± The security guards hurriedly rushed in. The room was filled with wolves. Xuan Li, who was dressed in a suit, was lying on the ground in a sorry state. He seemed to have lost consciousness. Xuan Sheng, who was holding a chair with his hand, had bloodshot eyes. He was about to smash Xuan Li¡¯s head.

    The security guards hurriedly rushed forward to stop Xuan Sheng. The medical staff who followed carried Xuan Li out. Xuan Sheng was taken away by the police, and they were called personally by Xuan Sheng¡¯s father.

    It was noisy around him. Xuan Sheng could not tell where he was anymore. The frustration in his heart swept towards all parts of his body and swallowed all his consciousness.

    Xuan Sheng had fainted the moment he got into the police car. The police could only send him to the hospital for investigation before interrogating him.

    Before Xuan Sheng woke up, the news about Glory World Corporation had already spread to all the major media.

    ¡°The fight between the crown princes of Glory World Corporation¡±, ¡°Xuan Sheng beat someone up and was jailed¡±, ¡°The new crown prince of Glory World Corporation¡±, and other topics bloomed.

    It was as if someone had deliberately pushed the news about Glory World Corporation and Xuan Li wave after wave. Everyone knew about the changes in the higher-ups of Glory World Corporation and the new leader of Glory World Corporation.

    As for Xuan Sheng, in all the news, he was the image of a violent criminal.

    [ Emmmm, there have always been rumors that Xuan Sheng is more violent. It looks like this rumor is true. ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. Why haven¡¯t I heard that Xuan Sheng has a younger brother in the past? Is this person who came out of nowhere an illegitimate child? If I suddenly have an illegitimate younger brother, I might not be able to resist hitting him. ]

    [ No matter what, you can¡¯t hit someone¡­ To think that I used to think that Xuan Sheng was quite good-looking. Why is he so violent? ]

    After Xuan Sheng woke up in the hospital, he was brought to the police station. However, no matter what the police asked, Xuan Sheng remained silent and was unwilling to say anything.

    Xuan Li had suffered a fracture and the tendon of his right leg had been severed. He was still lying in the operating theater. The crime of intentional injury was absolute.

    Facing Xuan Sheng¡¯s uncooperative attitude, the police had no choice but to detain him temporarily.

    Being locked in a house with only a small window in the darkness, Xuan Sheng naturally thought of those dark years.

    He was also locked in a small house like this. The woman who had given birth to him only gave him a meal every two days. Furthermore, he had to fight for that meal with the dog who was also locked in the room.

    This also caused him to think of the days when hepeted with the dog when he saw foodter on. Hence, the anorexia problem fell.

    It was raining outside the window. Xuan Sheng leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. He allowed countless dark memories to eat away at his rationality, exposing his entire brain to his hideous childhood.

    <i>Let¡¯s do this,</i>?Xuan Sheng thought.?<i>Anyway, everyone in the world had abandoned me. What I insisted on was meaningless.</i>

    His consciousness gradually withdrew. In a daze, Xuan Sheng heard the door open. At that moment, he could not tell if he was in a dream or reality. Xuan Sheng subconsciously trembled. This was a habit he had developed since he was young.

    Every time that woman pushed open the door and entered, he would tremble in fear because he did not know what move that woman would use to torture him next.

    ¡°Xuan Sheng.¡± A clear voice sounded like a clear spring that poured into his blurred consciousness.

 Chapter 816 - The Princess Saves Xuan Sheng

    <h4>Chapter 816: The Princess Saves Xuan Sheng</h4>

    Xuan Sheng wanted to open his eyes, but he was afraid that it was his hallucination. Instead of being disappointed, it was better to escape. The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up in self-mockery.

    <i>How could Xia Wanyuan be here??</i>

    ¡°Xuan Sheng?¡± This voice was getting clearer. The agitation in his body seemed to have been calmed by this clear voice.

    Xuan Sheng finally could not help but open his eyes. Xia Wanyuan stood at the door coldly. It was clearly a rainy day and the sky was gray, but Xuan Sheng felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s entire body was shining.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xuan Sheng hurriedly stood up. He did not care about the wound on his body. He had beaten Xuan Li up badly, but Xuan Li had also caused him considerable damage.

    Xuan Sheng took a few steps towards Xia Wanyuan and suddenly stopped. He lowered his head to look. His supreme clothes had long be wrinkled in the fight, and there was even a lot of dust.

    Xuan Sheng turned around and patted the dust off his clothes, trying to make himself look clean. Then, he turned around and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xuan Sheng. Even though the dust on his body had been patted off, the wound on his arm and neck still made him look extremely disheveled.

    ¡°Go out first.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed Xuan Sheng an umbre, then opened it herself and walked out the door.

    Xuan Sheng followed with an umbre. As he walked beside Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng could not help but secretly nce at her.

    In the hazy rain, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a loose white sweater. The high cor covered her chin, leaving an extremely gentle arc. Rain fell on her hair in the autumn breeze, causing it to look like she was covered in ink.

    ¡°We¡¯ll bail you out first.¡± Sensing that Xuan Sheng was looking at her, Xia Wanyuan turned around. Xuan Sheng had been detained, and Glory World Corporation was behind it. Jun Shiling had to step in to make the police willing to let him go.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan say ¡°we¡±, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes darkened a little, but he still squeezed out a smile. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan epted the ¡®thank you¡¯. ¡°I think you¡¯re hungry too. There¡¯s a noodle stall outside. Go and eat a bowl of noodles first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was actually hungry too. The news of Xuan Sheng was everywhere. Even the teachers in the office were discussing it. Xia Wanyuan had heard about this when she returned to the office after ss.

    Thest time she heard Xuan Sheng mention the interests of Glory World Corporation, Xia Wanyuan quickly thought of who was adding fuel to the fire.

    She called Jun Shiling and came to pick him up. As expected, ever since Xuan Sheng was in trouble, no one was willing to help him. Even he had lost his hope of survival.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xuan Sheng replied and took a step back. He followed Xia Wanyuan and finally brazenly cast all his eyes on her.

    It was raining and it was only three in the afternoon. There was no one in the noodle shop except for the boss, who was ying games with his legs crossed. Seeing that someone wasing, the boss hurriedly began to busy himself.

    ¡°Two bowls of beef noodles.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The boss removed the lid, and the heat surged like a fog. Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Xuan Sheng was silent.

    The beef noodles were quickly served. The mellow fragrance instantly filled the tip of his nose. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered. Xuan Sheng nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, his eyes tinged with a smile.

    The boss went to y games. There was no one outside the tent that was supported by oilcloth. The autumn wind and the cold rain fell quietly on the ground.

    In the shed, one mouth of the mellow soup, the chewy noodles, and the braised beef seemed like they had swallowed the entire world.

    Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of adding another spoonful of chili. It was so spicy that a thinyer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she ate very well.

    Xuan Sheng had really not liked to eat for many years. To him, eating was just a carrier of painful memories. No matter how delicious the food was, it was like chewing wax in his eyes.

    However, today, this small bowl of beef noodles seemed to have given him a sense of taste for the first time.

    He could feel the mellow taste of the soup and the fragrance of the meat. Xuan Sheng swallowed his saliva. After so many years, he finally had an appetite.

    Xuan Sheng picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. Then, he took a second and third bite.

    In the end, he even imitated Xia Wanyuan and drank a few mouthfuls of broth.

    ¡°What are you going to do about Glory World Corporation¡¯s actions?¡± After eating and drinking her fill, Xia Wanyuan began to do business.

    ¡°I want to do it myself. Since they want to share my power so much, I¡¯ll give it all to them.¡± Thinking of the people from Glory World Corporation, a cold light shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. A group of old farts who wanted him to work for them to earn money but were afraid that he would have too much power and hd an unfair mentality.

    ¡°Okay, we can cooperate.¡± The reason Xuan Sheng could make those people from Glory World Corporation do a roundabout way and not directly take him down was because Xuan Sheng had a lot of resources. If she worked with Xuan Sheng, she could earn money and help him. Xia Wanyuan felt that it was the best of both worlds.

    ¡°Of course we can cooperate. If Miss Xia is willing, I can be yourckey.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the coldness in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes disappeared, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes narrowed.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s a waste of talent. I can¡¯t afford it.¡±

    Seeing that a car hade to pick her up, Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng stood up and looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, opened the umbre, and walked into the rain.

 Chapter 817 - Noodles in Autumn

    <h4>Chapter 817: Noodles in Autumn</h4>

    Xuan Sheng stood under the shed until Xia Wanyuanpletely disappeared from his sight before sitting down again.

    The soup in the bowl was no longer steaming. Xuan Sheng sat quietly for a while. No one knew what he was thinking.

    After a while, Xuan Sheng picked up the bowl of noodles and drank the remaining soup in his bowl. Then, he stood up and left.

    The boss came over after a round of games and saw that one of the bowls of soup was empty. The boss could not help but be pleased. ¡°It looks like my skills have improved. He even finished the soup. He likes my noodles so much.¡±

    The boss looked up at the especially supportive guest and realized that he was clearly holding an umbre, but he had walked away in the rain.

    ¡°Strange,¡± the boss mumbled. He did not look at it anymore and carried the te into the kitchen.

    The car had already driven far away. Xia Wanyuan stared at Jun Shiling a few times.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Jun Shiling helplessly diverted his attention from the document and gently pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°I was afraid that you would be unhappy.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was not a petty person, but she did not want to make him sad just because he doted on her.

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°I¡¯m a little ufortable, but I can control myself.¡±

    He loved Xia Wanyuan so much that he did not want her toe into contact with anybody from the opposite sex. He only wanted Xia Wanyuan to belong to himself. But at the same time, because he loved Xia Wanyuan, he gave her space and could even bail Xuan Sheng for her.

    ¡°I just want to help Xuan Sheng.¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and leaned on his shoulder.

    ¡°I know.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. Xia Wanyuan was actually a very kind person, but her kindness was distinct from love and hate. She was like a ray of light that warmed the person who needed warmth the most.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up with a smile in her eyes. She had always felt that when two people loved each other, the most important thing was soulmunication and understanding, while Jun Shiling always stood behind her gently and firmly, understanding and tolerating her.

    ¡°Where¡¯s my present to return the gratitude? You¡¯ve never eaten noodles with me before.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and pressed it against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s long eyshes blinked, tickling his heart.

    ¡°¡­ Are you getting off work at six today?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and bit Jun Shiling¡¯s lower lip.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling threw away the document in his hand and focused on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the hospital, Xuan Li had just finished his surgery and woke up not long after.

    ¡°You did well this time.¡± Xuan Lit sat on the other end of the ward and nodded at Xuan Li in satisfaction.

    Xuan Sheng was too uncontroble and could maintain hisposure. It had been difficult to find a breakthrough for Xuan Sheng during this period of time. Now that Xuan Sheng had beaten him up, it was unavoidable for him to be charged with malicious injury. He would find someone to worsen Xuan Li¡¯s condition. This time, he had topletely suppress Xuan Sheng in prison.

    ¡°Dad,¡± Xuan Li called out weakly. ¡°Xuan Sheng is gone. When can Ipletely rece him?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he has so many high-quality clients and projects. You¡¯ll be right¡­¡±

    Before Xuan Li could finish speaking, the door of the ward was suddenly kicked open. The door bumped into the wall and made a loud sound.

    ¡°You! Why did you run out?! Did you break out of prison?¡± Seeing Xuan Sheng at the door, Xuan Li¡¯s eyes widened. He reacted quickly and picked up his phone to call the security.

    Xuan Liy on the bed. When he saw Xuan Sheng, he recalled Xuan Sheng¡¯s ruthless gaze and vicious actions in the office. He immediately trembled.

    ¡°Xuan Sheng, stop. This is the hospital. I¡¯m your father. What do you want?¡± Xuan Lit looked at Xuan Sheng warily, afraid that he would hit him when he went crazy.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up into a mocking sneer. ¡°I want to kill you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s tone was cold like a poisonous snake with its tongue sticking out. It inexplicably made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Before Xuan Lit could speak, Xuan Sheng took two steps forward. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t want to dirty my hands. I came to tell you that since you like the power of Glory World Corporation so much, I¡¯ll give it to you.

    I¡¯ll treat you to a free show and see how Glory World Corporation copses step by step in my hands. ¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re overestimating yourself.¡± Seeing that Xuan Sheng did not continue to step forward, Xuan Lit felt a little more confident.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled with his peach blossom-shaped eyes. He looked flirtatious, but this smile made one¡¯s heart turn cold for no reason.

    With that, Xuan Sheng left the ward.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Daddy. I¡¯ll help you guard the foundation of Glory World Corporation for so many years.¡± Seeing the hesitation on Xuan Lit¡¯s face, Xuan Li held the pain in his chest and said.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Li retracted his gaze.?<i>Xuan Sheng was indeed a little talented, but so what? Glory World Corporation was such arge corporation. How can I be afraid of a brat who was still wet behind the ears??</i>

    ¡°Dad, there¡¯s something else. Xuan Sheng has invested most of his funds into Xia Wanyuan¡¯spany project. I¡¯ve already signed a contract with them. Please send your trusted aide over.¡±

    In fact, Xuan Li did not expect that Xiafeng Corporation would agree to the contract so easily. After all, seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attitudest time, he thought that it would be very difficult.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had actually never paid attention to the change in the contract.

    She had always trusted her subordinates and handed all thepany matters to Shen Qian. At the critical moment of the Moon Bay project, Shen Qian also stayed in Lin Xi City often. The documents that his subordinates had reviewed were handed to him, and Shen Qian signed them if he felt that there was no problem.

    The contract between Glory World Corporation and Xiafeng Corporation was mixed in a pile of ordinary documents and handed to Shen Qian, which was sessfully signed.

    Xia Wanyuan was still unaware of this. She went to the production team and cooperated with Director Wang Wei to film some finishing scenes before being specially allowed to leave work early.

    At that moment, she was busy letting the servants build a small shed in the garden.

    The garden was filled with chrysanthemums one after another. Thousands of flowers fought for attention. The rain fell on the petals and lingered with the faint fragrance of the entire autumn.

    When Jun Shiling returned home and entered the manor, he saw Xia Wanyuan standing under the small shed in the garden. The white steam made her look like she was surrounded by immortal fog.

    Jun Shiling strode over and touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Fortunately, it was not cold.

    ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. What are you doing here?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because a certain primary school student insisted onpeting with others?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and nced at Jun Shiling, then opened the pot lid in front of her. The water in the pot was already boiling. Xia Wanyuan grabbed two handfuls of noodles and threw them in. ¡°Go and sit by the side. Didn¡¯t you say that I didn¡¯t eat noodles with you in the shed?¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was more childish, she was still quite willing to do something that could make him happy by making a bowl of noodles.

 Chapter 818 - Little Bunny Princess

    <h4>Chapter 818: Little Bunny Princess</h4>

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling was stunned. Xia Wanyuan, who was cooking noodles with her head lowered, had half of her face covered by a tall fur cor, revealing only her picturesque eyebrows. Her long eyshes were filled with steam, making her look like a beautiful jade, gentle and graceful.

    He had only casually made a joke with Xia Wanyuan in the afternoon to tease her. He was not such a petty person.

    What he did not expect was that Xia Wanyuan would really take this matter to heart.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind and rested his head on her shoulder. ¡°I was just joking with you. Actually, there¡¯s no need to do this specially.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan fished the noodles out of the pot. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. You¡¯re the only one who can treat me well, but I¡¯m not allowed to satisfy your little wish?¡±

    ¡°Are you done scooping?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was low as he watched Xia Wanyuan busy herself.

    ¡°I¡¯m done scooping. Wait for me to cut some beef,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and put down her chopsticks. She was about to get the braised beef when Jun Shiling grabbed her waist and turned around. Then, the cold pine fragrance smashed down on her.

    Bite, grind, and upy.

    Jun Shiling gently and forcefully imprisoned Xia Wanyuan in his arms. The servant beside him had already consciously turned around.

    The rain became heavier and heavier, making sounds on the shed.

    Under the shed, Jun Shiling finally stepped back a little and pressed his nose against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. His eyes were filled with gentleness. ¡°You¡¯re so good to me.¡±

    ¡°A bowl of noodles is enough?¡± Xia Wanyuan panted softly and pushed Jun Shiling away a little. ¡°Move, the noodles are already lumpy.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t eat it if it¡¯s useless. I¡¯ll get someone to send Jun Yin to Old Master¡¯s house tomorrow weekend.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan almost openly with a burning gaze.

    ¡°No, I¡¯ve already prepared it. You have to eat it even if it¡¯s a lump.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling away and continued to make beef noodles.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jun Shiling was helpless. He sat on a stool and quietly watched Xia Wanyuan make the noodles.

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling to serve the noodles.

    The servants had already retreated far away. In the garden, there was only the sound of rain dripping. The pots of chrysanthemums around looked even more beautiful under the rain.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sat on stools, and the beef noodles on the table kept steaming.

    ¡°The noodles seem a little lumpy.¡± At this point, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling reproachfully. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my fault, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and fiddled with the noodles in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl, putting the lump into his own bowl. ¡°Eat quickly.¡±

    The warm soup dispersed the coldness of the autumn sun. Jun Shiling finished the entire bowl of noodles and even drank the soup.

    ¡°Baby, you¡¯re so good to me.¡± Jun Shiling put down his chopsticks. No matter what he said, Xia Wanyuan would always keep it in her heart and never make him feel insecure.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°Carry me back after you¡¯re full. I¡¯m tired and don¡¯t want to walk.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan into the house. ¡°After a hot shower, I¡¯ll watch a movie with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan looked a littlezy.

    Xia Wanyuan took a shower in the bathroom of the master bedroom, and Jun Shiling went to the side. When he returned to the master bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was still not done washing up, so Jun Shiling sat by the bed and read.

    Suddenly, a white fluffy rabbit rolled into his arms, stunning Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t the pajamas today very cute?¡± Xia Wanyuan tapped the furry ears on her head, thinking that this nightgown was really quite beautiful.

    Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes and reached out to touch the white furry ears, his eyes deep.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to watch a movie with me just now? What movie?¡± Xia Wanyuan was unaware of Jun Shiling¡¯s change. She wanted to stand up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms to look for her phone, but Jun Shiling pulled her onto the bed.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to watch a movie? Get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling but didn¡¯t push him.

    ¡°I¡¯m not watching the movie anymore. I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the extremely soft and cute Xia Wanyuan in a hat and instantly had a huge impulse.

    ¡°?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s act in a movie.¡±

    ¡­ ¡°¡­¡± Before she waspletely dragged into the pine fragrance, Xia Wanyuan wondered how someone as restrained as Jun Shiling learned to speak dirty.

    ¡ª¡ª

    No matter how many messages Liu Xingchuan had sent Fu Li in the past few days, Fu Li had ignored them and even cklisted his number.

    They had originally agreed to bring Tang Yin out for dinner tonight. From the moment they confirmed their rtionship until now, the two of them had not had the time to have a proper date. Fu Li arrived at the dining room an hour early. He looked at the time and prepared to go out and buy a bouquet of flowers.

    However, just as he stood up, Fu Li paused. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t reply to my messages, I can only stop you here.¡± Liu Xingchuan ced a bunch of flowers on the table.

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Fu Li sat back down.

    ¡°Leave Tang Yin. She¡¯s mine,¡± Liu Xingchuan looked at Fu Li in front of him and said calmly.

    ¡°Pfft, Liu Xingchuan, if you¡¯re here today to talk about this, then get lost quickly. I still have something on.¡± Fu Li smiled mockingly.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible for your family to ept her.¡± Liu Xingchuan clenched his fists and said word by word, ¡°I have a photo of Tang Yin being humiliated. Do you think they will ept such a daughter-inw if I show the photo to your parents?¡±

 Chapter 819 - Tang Fu Publicizes

    <h4>Chapter 819: Tang Fu Publicizes</h4>

    When Liu Xingchuan said this, Fu Li¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. ¡°Are you f*cking crazy?!¡±

    Liu Xingchuan did not dare to look at Fu Li¡¯s eyes, but he really did not want to lose Tang Yin. ¡°Do you know why Tang Yin disappeared back then? Because she was attacked by others-¡±

    Before he could finish speaking, Fu Li, who was originally sitting, suddenly rushed over and punched him. ¡°Bastard!¡±

    This punch used all his strength, and Liu Xingchuan¡¯s face instantly swelled. However, he ignored it and stared intently at Fu Li. His eyes were filled with red blood and he looked a little terrifying.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a bastard. So what? Tang Yin can only be mine. Your Fu family is a well-educated family. If I publicize those photos, what do you think will happen? Your parents will never agree for you to marry her.¡±

    At the door of the private room, Tang Yin, who had dressed up meticulously, had been standing for a long time. Her hand on the switch tightened slightly.

    She should have gone in directly, but somehow, she stood rooted to the ground.

    In the house, Fu Li, who had punched Liu Xingchuan, lost interest when he saw how crazy Liu Xingchuan was. ¡°I really wanted to kill you at first, but forget it. Someone like you will dirty my hand.¡±

    Fu Li looked at the time and did not want Liu Xingchuan to ruin his mood. He turned around and prepared to leave, wanting to bring Tang Yin to other ces to eat.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you mind?¡± Liu Xingchuan stopped Fu Li in a hoarse voice. ¡°Don¡¯t you mind that she used to roll around under me and belong to mepletely? Don¡¯t you mind that she has been humiliated by so many people? Don¡¯t you mind that she¡¯s not worthy of you at all?¡±

    Fu Li clenched his fists and turned to look at Liu Xingchuan. ¡°You disgust me.¡±

    Liu Xingchuan had been staring intently at Fu Li. He wanted to see disgust on that face, see hesitation, and prove to Tang Yin that no one would ept her life other than himself.

    However, no.

    The emotions he wanted to see did not appear on Fu Li¡¯s face at all.

    ¡°Do you think that no one knows what you did back then?¡± Fu Li looked at Liu Xingchuan in disdain. ¡°Ever since Ah Yin left, I¡¯ve already found out how you and Shi Tian treated her back then. I only feel sorry for her past and hate myself for not being by her side.¡±

    ¡°You know?!¡± Liu Xingchuan looked at Fu Li in disbelief.

    ¡°I feel disgusted that I once had a brother like you.¡± Fu Li turned around and left disdainfully.

    There was no one outside the door. Fu Li looked at the time and called Tang Yin.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Tang Yin seemed to be on the way, and her tone had a hint of joy. Fu Li¡¯s mood inexplicably improved.

    Ah Yin, the restaurant I booked isn¡¯t delicious. Let¡¯s go to another one.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t change it. Let¡¯s go home and eat. I¡¯ll buy some food.¡±

    ¡°Okay, where are you? I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    Tang Yin gave him an address, and Fu Li walked out of the restaurant.

    In the private room, Liu Xingchuan sat dejectedly.

    ¡°Sir, do you want to order now?¡± The waiter saw him sitting alone and walked over to ask.

    ¡°Bring me two bottles of red wine.¡± Liu Xingchuan lowered his head dispiritedly. The waiter sighed secretly.<i>?Tsk, tsk. Another person trapped by love.</i>

    In the underground parking lot of the supermarket, Tang Yin looked at Fu Li in confusion. ¡°Just wait for me here. You¡¯ll be too eye-catching if you go up.¡±

    Although Fu Li had stopped filming in the past few years, the famous Best Actor still had many supporters now.

    ¡°No, is it illegal for me to shop in the supermarket with my girlfriend?¡± As Fu Li spoke, he pushed open the car door and reached out to Tang Yin. ¡°Get down.¡±

    Tang Yin looked at Fu Li quietly for a while. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, then she ced her hand in Fu Li¡¯s.

    ¡°What are we eating tonight?¡± Fu Li held Tang Yin¡¯s hand and walked from the parking lot to the supermarket upstairs.

    The door at the entrance of the corridor was half closed. On the other side of the door was the brightly lit supermarket. Through the gap in the door, one could already hear the peopleing and going outside. Tang Yin stopped in her tracks. ¡°Fu Li, you know the consequences of stepping out.¡±

    ¡°This moment existed in my dream ten years ago. Now, it has finallye true.¡± Other than determination, there was nothing else in Fu Li¡¯s eyes.

    Tang Yin did not say anything else and allowed Fu Li to pull her out the door.

    The suddenly bright environment made Tang Yin narrow her eyes slightly. In a daze, she suddenly recalled five years ago.

    At that time, Liu Xingchuan was already a top Best Actor,?<i>What did he say when he proposed to me? He said, ¡°My identity is rtively special. Ah Yin, I¡¯m sorry. We¡¯ll publicize when we find a suitable opportunity.¡±</i>

    At that time, she was thinking for him and felt that it was extremely normal for celebrities to hide their marriage.

    Only now did she know that she could be resolutely chosen to stand under the light and face everyone openly.

    Fu Li¡¯s local poprity was very high. The people in the supermarket were originally busy purchasing and chatting.

    Suddenly, someone shouted, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Fu Li?¡±

    A hugemotion was created. Everyone finally realized that Fu Li was choosing fruits.

    Fu Li was still as handsome as people had imagined. As he picked the grapes, he spoke to the woman in a red dress beside him, as if asking for her opinion.

    The originally noisy supermarket gradually quieted down.

    No one went up to Fu Li to have his signature or take a photo with him. It wasmon knowledge that Fu Li rejected any fans in private.

    Everyone only stood rooted to the ground and watched quietly as Fu Li pushed the cart and pulled the woman in the red dress beside him. The two of them chatted andughed as they bought meat, vegetables, and even two boxes of milk. Then, they paid the bill and left.

    Seeing Fu Li disappear at the entrance of the supermarket, the crowd finally boiled over.

    ¡°Oh my god! Fu Li actually has a girlfriend?!!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s already in his thirties and has stopped filming for many years. Isn¡¯t it normal to have a girlfriend?¡±

    ¡°No!!! Don¡¯t you think his girlfriend looks very familiar!! That¡¯s Tang Yin!¡±

    The impact of Fu Li, the Best Actor, was too great for everyone. Many people cared about looking at Fu Li. Only then did they remember that the woman standing beside him was Fu Li and Liu Xingchuan¡¯s manager back then.

    Hence, before Tang Yin and Fu Li could leave the supermarket parking lot, the trending topic about them had already rushed to Weibo on a rocket. Just as the car drove to the roadside, the reporters who had heard the news had already surrounded them.

    ¡°Best Actor Fu, what¡¯s your rtionship with your manager back then?¡±

    ¡°Back then, it was said that Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin were a pair. Is that so? Why is Tang Yin with you now?¡±

    The reporters squeezed by the car window and threw questions at Fu Li.

    Fu Li lowered half of the window with a smile on his face.

    ¡°Tang Yin is my future wife. Thank you for everyone¡¯s concern. I can use this opportunity to publicize. I¡¯ll exin to everyone in detail on Weiboter.¡±

 Chapter 820 - Giving Her Heart and Mind

    <h4>Chapter 820: Giving Her Heart and Mind</h4>

    After Fu Li finished speaking, he closed the car window and blocked the microphones of the reporters outside.

    Fu Li¡¯s interview video was quickly posted online.

    Best Actor Fu, who had once charmed thousands of girls, had now announced the rtionship, causing a stir.

    Fu Li¡¯s Weibo was filled with fans and passers-by.

    [???? Why does my idol have a girlfriend? ]

    [ Actually, back then, I realized that the way our Fu Li looked at Tang Yin was a little different, but I don¡¯t dare to say it. Reality has proven that my intuition is really quite urate. ]

    [ I want to know if the two of them were together since the beginning or only together now? If they were together back then, then Fu Li¡¯s character is too bad. He¡¯s selling his single persona to earn the money of his fans while dating his manager. What a brilliant n. ]

    Thements increased rapidly.

    Finally, Fu Li updated a post.

    @ Fu Li: ¡°I haven¡¯t appeared in a long time. Back then, when I just debuted, I promised my fans that if I had a lover one day, I would definitely publicize it. Now, I want to tell you that I¡¯ve finally chased and got her. This week, we¡¯re together. Thank you for your love and support for me. I have someone to apany me for life.¡±

    [ Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, I really want to cry. Fu Li has really not appeared for a long time. He actually appeared after so long to announce his rtionship. Let me cry quietly for a while first. ]

    [ This day has finallye. I¡¯m a little sad, but I¡¯m happy for you. As your fan, I only want you to be happy. ]

    [ I¡¯m going to vomit. You probably don¡¯t know what kind of person Tang Yin is, right?? After so many years, you actually found such a smelly fish and prawn. Can you face the fans¡¯ love for you? ]

    Fu Li¡¯s fan base wasrge. Some rational fans did not have much of a reaction to Fu Li¡¯s public announcement. However, to many fans who did not like Fu Li having a female manager back then, Fu Li and Tang Yin¡¯s public announcement aroused the anger in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    In an instant, the matters between Tang Yin, Fu Li and Liu Xingchuan five years ago, even more than a decade ago were dug out. The major forums were in a frenzy.

    In the old apartment, the afternoon sun shone warmly on the creeper leaves on the balcony.

    Today, Fu Li suddenly wanted to cook, so Tang Yin let him be.

    ¡°Ah Yin, how long will this beef take to cook?¡± Fu Li was not especially good at cooking, so he wanted to ask Tang Yin something he did not understand. ¡°Ah Yin?¡±

    After waiting for a long time, there was still no response. Fu Li walked out of the kitchen in confusion, only to see that the living room was empty. However, there was the sound of running water in the bathroom beside him.

    He had just gone to the supermarket. Tang Yin probably did not like the smell inside and wanted to take a shower as soon as he returned. Fu Li thought that he would not bring Tang Yin to the supermarket in the future.

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll check online myself.¡± With that, Fu Li turned around and returned to the kitchen.

    Fu Li looked at the steps on the phone while adding things into the pot.

    Suddenly, someone leaned over from behind. The fragrance of the shampoo wafted over from behind. Fu Li smiled and did not stop what he was doing. He was busy throwing seasonings into the pot. ¡°Ah Yin, go and sit for a while. It¡¯ll be cooked soon.¡±

    ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Tang Yin asked behind him.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I ate a lot this morning.¡±

    Ever since he got together with Tang Yin, Fu Li¡¯s appetite had improved greatly. He had eaten an entire bowl of noodles and a sandwich in the morning and was not hungry at all now. He was only afraid that Tang Yin was hungry.

    ¡°If you¡¯re not hungry, let¡¯s do something before eating.¡±

    ¡°Huh? What must you do now? Tell me.¡± He finally ced the seasonings ording to all the steps. Fu Li covered the pot lid and turned to look at Tang Yin.

    What he saw made him freeze.

    Tang Yin had just taken a shower and came out wrapped in a bathrobe. A belt at her waist outlined an excellent figure. Her ink-ck hair fell on her shoulders and wrapped around her fair corbone. Between the white and ck, it collided with an astonishing beauty.

    The faint smell of shampoo lingered in the air. Fu Li took a look and hurriedly shifted his gaze elsewhere, not daring to look at Tang Yin anymore. ¡°What did you say you were going to do just now? Tell me, I¡¯ll help you do it.¡±

    Tang Yin¡¯s palms were sweating, but there were some things she wanted to verify.

    Tang Yin took a step forward. Fu Li tilted his head and grabbed the chopping board under him tightly. He held his breath. ¡°Ah Yin, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Tang Yin leaned into Fu Li¡¯s ear. ¡°Let¡¯s sleep first before eating.¡±

    Fu Li suddenly turned around and met Tang Yin¡¯s watery eyes. He felt that his entire person was about to burn. ¡°Ah Yin.¡±

    Tang Yin pulled Fu Li¡¯s arm and walked into the bedroom. Fu Li was stunned. He did not know what Tang Yin meant by sleeping.?<i>Was it what I understood or what it literally means?</i>

    Just like that, Fu Li was pulled into the bedroom. Fu Li was pushed onto the bed by Tang Yin and was about to ask Tang Yin what was wrong.

    Tang Yin, who was standing by the bed, had already pulled open the belt at her waist.

    She was naked under the bathrobe!

    Fu Li froze. When he reacted, he hurriedly closed his eyes and clenched his fists. ¡°Ah Yin, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Tang Yin trembled a little, but she still slept beside Fu Li and wrapped herself around him like a snake. ¡°Want me.¡±

    Fu Li closed his eyes tightly, but he could not ignore the slippery feeling in his arms. He did not even dare to breathe, but the surroundings were still lingered by the fragrance on Tang Yin.

    ¡°Ah Yin, don¡¯t be like this.¡±

    Fu Li knew that Tang Yin had been hurt before. He had consulted a psychiatrist before. People who had such an encounter usually resisted the approach of men especially.

    Fu Li was afraid that Tang Yin ould wrong herself because she wanted him to be happy. For a moment, Fu Li¡¯s heart only ached. He did not dare to imagine what kind of torture Tang Yin was suffering in her heart.

    Tang Yin looked at Fu Li, who had his eyes closed, and suddenly felt less nervous. She did not speak and kissed him directly.

    Fu Li suddenly opened his eyes, which were burning with mes. He was a man, a man who had loved Tang Yin for more than ten years. In this scene now, he admitted that his rationality had beenpletely burned away.

    Tang Yin bit Fu Li¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple. Fu Li grunted and finally could not endure it anymore. He turned around and took the initiative.

    The small bedroom instantly heated up.

    Fu Li found Tang Yin¡¯s hand and held it. Sensing the sweat on her palm, Fu Li suddenly stopped and looked into Tang Yin¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ah Yin, no matter what happened in the past, I¡¯ve always loved you. No one will bully you in the future.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Tang Yin smiled. Yesterday, she had listened to the entire story before leaving. It turned out that Fu Li knew everything, but he still stood behind her as usual. Fu Li loved her more than she had imagined.

    Fu Li kissed Tang Yin and sank.

    However, things exceeded his expectations.

    ¡°Ah Yin?¡±

 Chapter 821 - Belong to You Princessâ€™s Response

    <h4>Chapter 821: Belong to You Princess¡¯s Response</h4>

    Tang Yin snorted in pain. There were biological tears in her eyes, but the corners of Tang Yin¡¯s lips curled up.

    She did not know if Liu Xingchuan¡¯s words were true or false.

    Now, she knew that the men she had seen when she woke up were indeed Liu Xingchuan¡¯s doing.

    Sensing the obvious obstruction and bitterness, Fu Li had an unbelievable guess in his heart, but it was too incredible. He looked up at Tang Yin and realized that she was crying and smiling. He panicked immediately.

    ¡°Ah Yin, what¡¯s wrong with you? Let¡¯s not do it anymore, okay? Don¡¯t cry. I was wrong.¡±

    Fu Li was about to leave when Tang Yin hugged him even more tightly. ¡°Fu Li, those men back then were found by Liu Xingchuan. Nothing happened between us. He lied to Shi Tian and lied to me.¡±

    Hearing Tang Yin¡¯s words, Fu Li heaved a sigh of relief.<i>?Fortunately, Tang Yin had not suffered those injuries.</i>

    However, Tang Yin¡¯s unfamiliar reaction just now still confused him. ¡°Then, you and Liu Xingchuan?¡±

    ¡°The three of us have been living together since graduation, and we¡¯ve been busy with our careers ever since. I¡¯m a workaholic and I always run outside. We get together less often. Nothing actually happened between him and me.¡±

    Tang Yin had grown from a small dragon to a gold medal manager. During those years, she wished she could use one day as two. Where did she have the time to think about this? Later on, Liu Xingchuan might have known Shi Tian and felt guilty towards Tang Yin. Even though he was not as busy as before, he had never touched her.

    After Tang Yin finished speaking, Fu Li did not move. Tang Yin looked at Fu Li in confusion and realized that his eyes were shockingly bright.

    Fu Li hugged Tang Yin tightly, the corners of his eyes filled with joy. ¡°Ah Yin, I really don¡¯t care how you were in the past, but do you know? When I think that you belong to me alone, this huge sense of satisfaction really makes me so happy.¡±

    Tang Yin also felt Fu Li¡¯s joy. She smiled and wrapped her arms around Fu Li¡¯s waist. ¡°I¡¯m very happy too.¡±

    Tang Yin still wanted to say something, but Fu Li covered her mouth. ¡°Ah Yin, I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯ll be gentle. Let¡¯s continue, okay?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± A helpless smile shed across Tang Yin¡¯s eyes.?<i>Even if I said stop, Fu Li wouldn¡¯t stop, right?</i>

    Fu Li had never felt so happy before. Every cell in his body was cheering. In his arms was the woman he loved the most, the woman who belonged to him with all his heart. Fu Li conveyed all his excitement to Tang Yin.

    From the moment he caught a glimpse of her when he was young to now that he had gotten what he wanted, in the long years, Fu Li had never even held the hands of other women. Now, no matter how bad the beauty was, he was like a brat, charging around.

    At first, Tang Yin was as happy as Fu Li, but she was still a virgin. Fu Li was too happy. Slowly, Tang Yin could not keep up. ¡°Fu Li.¡±

    ¡°Mm, Ah Yin, I¡¯m really so happy. Really. Touch my heart. It¡¯s beating so quickly. It¡¯s been so many years, but I¡¯ve never thought of such a scene in my dream. Really, I don¡¯t dare to think about it. I¡¯m so happy.¡± Fu Li mumbled into Tang Yin¡¯s ear, and Tang Yin¡¯s heart softened.

    <i>Forget it, let him be,?</i>Tang Yin thought. Then, she kissed Fu Li back, causing him to be even more excited.

    The sun gradually circled above and set in the west. The bedroom finally calmed down.

    Fu Li hugged Tang Yin. Although the two of them were extremely tired, they were still awake.

    ¡°Ah Yin, take a rest. We¡¯ll go and see my parents tomorrow. They¡¯ll definitely like you very much.¡± Fu Li felt that he was really the happiest man in the world at that moment.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Since she had chosen to be with Fu Li, Tang Yin would not escape anymore. No matter what Fu Li¡¯s parents¡¯ impression of her was, she would work hard to make them ept her.

    ¡°Sleep for a while. It¡¯s been hard on you, Ah Yin.¡± Fu Li hadpletely lost the elegance and calmness of an adult man. His entire face was filled with a smile.

    Tang Yin looked at Fu Li helplessly. ¡°Can¡¯t you help me take a shower before sleeping? And change the bedsheets?¡±

    ¡°Huh?!! Oh! I forgot. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll get it immediately.¡± Fu Li was really so happy that he could not see the end of it. Only when he heard Tang Yin¡¯s words did he react and get out of bed happily to go to the bathroom to water.

    The Inte was already in chaos. The past of Tang Yin, Liu Xingchuan, and Fu Li were all overturned by theizens.

    There was even aizen who exposed anonymously, ¡°Actually, Tang Yin and Liu Xingchuan have been in a rtionship since more than a decade ago. It was only until five years ago that Liu Xingchuan and Shi Tian got together. Tang Yin sadly withdrew from the entertainment industry. Until recently, I don¡¯t know why she hugged Fu Li, this thigh, again.¡±

    [ This gold medal manager is quite amazing. How is this nurturing a Best Actor? Is she nurturing her husband? ]

    [ My heart aches for Fu Li. Has she hooked up with Fu Li now, because she didn¡¯t seed in seducing Liu Xingchuan? Can Tang Yin write a book? Can you teach me how to seduce the Best Actor in my thirties? ]

    [ Tang Yin¡¯s scheme is also amazing. If she doesn¡¯t seed, she¡¯ll change to another. So Fu Li is a spare tire? Such a person can actually be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager. What kind of taste does Xia Wanyuan have? ]

    With an intentional person leading the way, very quickly, thements about Tang Yin became more and more unpleasant. Fu Li¡¯s fans stepped down one after another, expressing that they felt that Tang Yin was not worthy of Fu Li at all.

    At this moment, thement that attacked Xia Wanyuan for having bad taste and actually choosing Tang Yin as her manager was personally flipped by Xia Wanyuan and replied.

    ¡°Tang Yin is an outstanding woman and an outstanding manager. She¡¯s worth all of Fu Li¡¯s love.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words immediately caused a hugemotion.

 Chapter 822 - Little Cat Princess

    <h4>Chapter 822: Little Cat Princess</h4>

    Thements that were filled with criticism became a little hesitant because Xia Wanyuan had joined.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current poprity as a passer-by was really not bad. In addition, with the reputation of being a professor at the Qing University, everyone subconsciously thought that what Xia Wanyuan said was true.

    However, there were also some girlfriend fans of Fu Li who felt that Xia Wanyuan had been deceived by Tang Yin.

    [ Tang Yin is a manager with only two artistes, but in the end, both of them were taken in by her. This woman is so scheming. Could Xia Wanyuan have been deceived? ]

    [ I hope that Fu Li can find an innocent outsider to marry and not find such a woman. What¡¯s so good about Tang Yin? Look at her face, she looks like she¡¯s seducing men. ]

    [ The person in front, you¡¯re too much. Is it wrong to be beautiful? Isn¡¯t that An Rao, who¡¯s known as the Medusa in the entertainment industry, a fool in private? There¡¯s no need to judge a book by its cover. ]

    The fans¡¯ debate was still continuing. Liu Xingchuan, who was in the hotel, had also seen thements online.

    The image in Liu Xingchuan¡¯s hand paused on Fu Li¡¯s Weibo post. Liu Xingchuan drank a mouthful of wine and his eyes turned red.

    He knew Fu Li and Tang Yin¡¯s personalities.

    If not for the fact that Tang Yin had already entrusted Fu Li with her whole heart, Fu Li would not dare to announce it so openly.

    In a daze, Liu Xingchuan seemed to see the bright smile of Tang Yin under the gardenia flower tree back then.

    He really loved her, but he was also really selfish.

    Liu Xingchuanughed at himself.<i>?Fu Li was right. I¡¯m a disgusting person.?</i>

    Ding dong. The doorbell suddenly rang. Liu Xingchuany on the ground and did not move, but the doorbell kept ringing. Liu Xingchuan had no choice but to open the door with the wine bottle.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Liu Xingchuan nced at her nonchntly and drank his wine.

    ¡°I came to see how miserable you were.¡± Shi Tian looked at the extremely dispirited Liu Xingchuan resentfully. ¡°After so many years, you finally got your wish. You finally divorced me. Then? Your Tang Yin ran away with someone! Hahahaha.¡±

    Shi Tianughed heartily, but as sheughed, her eyes were filled with tears. ¡°After so many years, even a dog wouldn¡¯t bite back. Do you hate me so much?¡±

    During this period of time, the Shi family had offended someone. Their industries hadpletely copsed, and even their businesses in the underworld had been implicated. The Shi family had many underground industries that could not be seen in the light, and they had been almostpletely wiped out during this period of time.

    The Shi family was also arrested and locked up. The entire family was in chaos. At this moment, Liu Xingchuan helped the second branch andpletely snatched away Shi Tian¡¯s father¡¯s power. He even forced Shi Tian to sign the divorce agreement with him.

    This most docile dog in more than a decade had nowpletely counterattacked, making her heart ache.

    ¡°Ha.¡± Liu Xingchuan drank a mouthful of wine and did not even look at Shi Tian. ¡°Serves you right. Every day and night I was with you made me feel like I was better off dead.¡±

    ¡°Hahahahahahaha, what a good ¡®better off dead¡¯. That¡¯s right, the person you love is Tang Yin, that whore who¡¯s ridden by a thousand people!! That whore is now under your best brother!¡±

    Pa! Before Shi Tian could finish speaking, Liu Xingchuan pped her face. ¡°You have no right to say anything about her.¡±

    ¡°How dare you hit me!¡± Shi Tian covered her face in disbelief. Liu Xingchuan, this man who never hit anyone, actually attacked just like that.

    ¡°We¡¯re already divorced. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with me.¡± Liu Xingchuan looked at the hysterical Shi Tian with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

    ¡°Really? Then do you remember how many photos Tang Yin had back then?¡± Shi Tian¡¯s words sessfully stopped Liu Xingchuan from leaving.

    ¡°I want to see you in the Shi family¡¯s vi at this time tomorrow. If I don¡¯t see you, your beloved woman¡¯s bed photo will be popr on the Inte tomorrow night.¡± Shi Tian scoffed and turned to leave.

    Behind her, Liu Xingchuan watched Shi Tian disappear from his sight before turning around and returning to the house.

    The lights in the hotel were switched on for the entire night, and the figure on the ground sat there until dawn.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling, who was not far away. She was amused and called out to him, ¡°CEO Jun?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up at Xia Wanyuan but did not reply.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted to show that he had heard it.

    ¡°Hubby?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°Who are you calling? Who¡¯s your husband? Does anyone know?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck before sitting on hisp. ¡°Who do you want me to call?¡±

    Jun Shiling wrapped his arms around her waist and snorted. ¡°Other than me, no one else.¡±

    ¡°Alright, stop fooling around. I promise that our public announcement won¡¯t be too longter. When the timees, can everyone see how handsome and charming my husband is?¡±

    From the moment Jun Shiling saw Fu Li¡¯s Weibo in the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan realized that his emotions were not right. After thinking about it, she guessed that it was because Fu Li¡¯s public announcement had agitated Jun Shiling.

    As expected, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression eased a little when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, but there was still a hint of grievance. ¡°They¡¯re all coveting you.¡±

    ¡°Do you think that no one will covet me after I publicize you?¡± Xia Wanyuan found Jun Shiling¡¯s expression funny.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s grip on Xia Wanyuan tightened. ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares.¡±

    ¡°Alright, go to sleep. Don¡¯t be aggrieved.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and pulled Jun Shiling upstairs.

    However, Jun Shiling sat still. ¡°Then change into your pajamas. That kitten¡¯s not bad.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that she might have triggered Jun Shiling¡¯s strange hobby.

    ¡°Sigh, forget it. Anyway, you don¡¯t pamper me anymore. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t publicize it, but now, you can¡¯t even satisfy this little request of mine,¡± Jun Shiling said and turned his head to the side.

    ¡°¡­You¡¯re so childish, CEO Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless<i>. How did Jun Shiling be more and more childish??</i>

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯re starting to despise me now.¡±

    ¡°Put it on, put it on, get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to kick Jun Shiling¡¯s leg, not knowing whether tough or cry. Jun Shiling smiled and grabbed her ankle, then picked her up.

    ¡°I knew it. Madam, you¡¯re the best.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with a smile as he carried Xia Wanyuan upstairs to the bedroom.

    ¡°I just want to know why you¡¯re getting more and more childish, Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and recalled that when they had just met, the coldness on Jun Shiling could force people back.

    At that time, Jun Shiling was like a walking iceberg. Who would have thought that he would learn to y dumb and act pitiful now?

    Jun Shiling ced her on the bed, picked up the pajamas with two furry cat ears on the hat, and put them on for Xia Wanyuan. He felt that his heart had melted from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cuteness.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been in the modern world for so long, have you never heard anyone talk about a theory?¡± Jun Shiling put on the hat for Xia Wanyuan, and its two furry ears stood up, looking especially cute.

 Chapter 823 - Puerile Phoenix Fragrant Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 823: Puerile Phoenix Fragrant Mountain</h4>

    ¡°What theory?¡± The pajamas were soft andfortable to wear. Xia Wanyuan let Jun Shiling do whatever he wanted.

    ¡°A man will be a child in front of the person he loves.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and fiddled with the little ear on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan really felt that there were so many strange modern theories. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I have to go to thepany tomorrow. Quick, sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan was really afraid that Jun Shiling would be as excited asst night as he was ying with his ears.

    However, Jun Shiling really did not n to torture Xia Wanyuan tonight. He only quietly hugged her. ¡°What story do you want to hear today?¡±

    ¡°I finished ¡®An Tusheng Fairy Tale¡¯, right? Let¡¯s talk about ¡®Green Fairy¡¯ today.¡±

    There were fewer types of ancient books. What Xia Wanyuan felt the most in the modern world was that there were too many modern books.

    In her previous life, there were no fairy tales, and Xia Wanyuan had never heard of them. However, she was very interested in those fantasy worlds, so Jun Shiling told her a little story every night.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°I¡¯ll tell the story of the crystal ball today.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan appeared, Jun Shiling had never read such a book. However, in the study now, Jun Shiling had specially gotten someone to open a small space in the bookshelves to store all sorts of fairy tales, so that he could tell them to Xia Wanyuan after reading them.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep and maic voice gradually sounded in the bedroom. In Jun Shiling¡¯s ount, those dream-like elves surrounded Xia Wanyuan one by one, giving her the best dream.

    Whether it was spring, summer, autumn, or winter, Jun Shiling¡¯s exercise in the morning had never stopped.

    However, it waste autumn and the morning was heavy. Jun Shiling originally did not want Xia Wanyuan to go with him, but Xia Wanyuan insisted, so Jun Shiling could only slowly run in the courtyard with her.

    Over the past few days, the greenery in the manor had been changed one after another. The once full garden lotus was nowyered withyers of chrysanthemums, with all kinds of colors and shapes.

    After the two of them finished their morning run, Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and introduced her to all sorts of chrysanthemums.

    Boshu, Da Liju, Taju, Cliff Chrysanthemum, Crate Chrysanthemum, Green Peony, Green Cloud, Ink Lotus, Phoenix Feather, Handsome g, West Lake Willow Moon, and other flowers became very easy to distinguish under Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation.

    After Jun Shiling finished exining the characteristics of the West Lake Willow Moon, he turned his head and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with admiration.

    No man could resist the admiration of his beloved woman.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡±

    ¡°Why do you know everything?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that the modern knowledge system was muchrger than her previous life.

    However, every time she asked Jun Shiling any questions, he would always be confident.

    Jun Shiling could even exin the subtle differences between nearly a hundred chrysanthemums in detail.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s admiring tone and gaze were too good for Jun Shiling. He felt that the time he spent reading every day for 25 years was very worth it.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re knowledgeable. If I don¡¯t read more, I¡¯m afraid Madam will despise me.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and folded a blooming chrysanthemum beside him, handing it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°This flower suits you very well.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xia Wanyuan took the light purple flower. There were a few dewdrops on the petals that were very beautiful.

    ¡°This flower is called the Puerile Phoenix Fragrant Mountain. The tip of its head is delicate and halfyered, and when the wind and frost are like swords, the bitter gall is like the ashes. The robe and veil are draped in splendor.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling recite the poem, Xia Wanyuan looked a little embarrassed. ¡°Let¡¯s go back. You only know how to sweet-talk.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied, then led Xia Wanyuan back to the main building.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the apartment, Tang Yin woke up early in the morning. She endured the difort in her body and kept rummaging in the wardrobe.

    ¡°Ah Yin, my parents will definitely like you. You don¡¯t have to be so nervous.¡± Seeing Tang Yin¡¯s flustered look, Fu Li did not know whether tough or cry.

    ¡°For me, you¡¯ve gone against your parents¡¯ wishes for so many years. I¡¯m worried¡­¡± Fu Li had such a lively and outgoing personality in university. It was obvious that he had grown up in a loving family.

    In the end, because of her, he had suffered for so many years. When Tang Yin thought about it from another angle, she felt that his mother would not like her.

    ¡°Believe me. I like you, and they will like you too, okay?¡± Fu Li walked forward and hugged Tang Yin.

    Tang Yin still wanted to try the red windbreaker. She struggled in Fu Li¡¯s arms for a while and paused, her face flushed red. ¡°Why are you¡­¡±

    ¡°Ah Yin, stop looking. It¡¯s more important for you to settle my matter first.¡± Fu Li kissed Tang Yin¡¯s hair.

    He had been abstinent for more than thirty years. Now that he had finally eaten meat, Fu Li did not want to touch anything in anymore.

    Okay?¡± Fu Li turned Tang Yin around and leaned down before she could speak.

    In the end, because Tang Yin was soft-hearted, she still let Fu Li do it. However, the result was that when they returned to the Fu family, it was already past the agreed time.

    ¡°Look, we¡¯rete.¡± Tang Yin red at Fu Li.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. My parents will understand.¡± Fu Li smiled and pulled Tang Yin out of the car.

    At the entrance of the vi, Fu Li¡¯s parents were waiting.

    Tang Yin walked over and was a little nervous. ¡°Uncle, Auntie.¡±

    ¡°Hey, okay.¡± Fu Li¡¯s mother was a university teacher and looked knowledgeable. She looked at Tang Yin and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I know that my son likes you for so many years. Now that the two of you are finally together, I can only be happy. Wee to the Fu family.¡±

    Over the years, if one were to say that Fu Li was bitter, Mrs. Fu, who had given birth to him after ten months of pregnancy, was even more bitter. She did not know how sad she was to see her son in such pain.

    Now that she saw how happy Fu Li was, Mrs. Fu could not help but want to cry. Her silly son had finally seeded in his wait.

    Tang Yin did not expect that the Fu family¡¯s parents were so easy to get along with. She had thought that there would be some difficulties.

    Fu Li turned around and smiled at Tang Yin. His parents loved him so much, so they would naturally love his wife too.

    ¡°Alright, alright. The food is ready. I cooked by myself today. Let¡¯s go in,¡± Mrs. Fu said and pulled Tang Yin¡¯s arm.

    Who would have thought that she would identally roll up Tang Yin¡¯s sleeve? Instantly, a red mark appeared in front of Mrs. Fu.

    ¡°Auntie, let¡¯s go in.¡± Tang Yin hurriedly put down her sleeves and looked at Mrs. Fu with a flushed face.

    Mrs. Fu was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She nced at Fu Li, who was smiling happily, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She pulled Tang Yin¡¯s hand. ¡°Why are you shy? Let¡¯s discuss when to hold the wedding after dinner so that we can carry a grandson earlier.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    <h4>Chapter 824: The Princess Visits the Company</h4>

    Hearing Mrs. Fu¡¯s words, Tang Yin looked at Fu Li in embarrassment.

    As if knowing what Tang Yin was going to say, Fu Li leaned towards Tang Yin¡¯s ear. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what my mother said? The elderly wants to have a grandson. Isn¡¯t it normal for the two of us to work hard?¡±

    Tang Yin could not help but re at Fu Li. However, in Fu Li¡¯s eyes, Tang Yin¡¯s nce seemed to be seducing him. Taking advantage of Mrs. Fu¡¯s diverted attention, Fu Li quickly kissed Tang Yin on the cheek.

    However, after the kiss, Mrs. Fu looked at the two of them in surprise.

    Fu Li was very calm. What was the big deal about him kissing his wife? However, Tang Yin was very embarrassed. The two of them added up to more than 60, but in the end, they were still so indecent in front of the elders.

    Mrs. Fu smiled and did not say anything. She just felt a little emotional.?<i>How long had it been since I had seen my son so happy? He had suffered so much abroad all these years.</i>

    Mrs. Fu was actually a little angry at Tang Yin in her heart, but seeing Fu Li so happy beside Tang Yin, her anger subsided no matter how angry she was.

    It had been a long time since the Fu family had been so lively. Even the smiles on the servants¡¯ faces were more enthusiastic than usual.

    After dinner, the few of them discussed the date of their marriage.

    Ever since Fu Li had told Mrs. Fu that he was bringing Tang Yin home today, Mrs. Fu had gone to a master overnight to choose a few auspicious days.

    Fu Li chose the nearest one and it was set to be half a monthter.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it too rushed?¡± Tang Yin did not expect it to be so fast.

    ¡°No, don¡¯t worry, child. Leave it to us.¡± Mrs. Fu had been looking forward to Fu Li¡¯s marriage for so many years. Now that it had finally arrived, she was as impatient as Fu Li.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Since Mrs. Fu and Fu Li had decided, Tang Yin did not speak further.

    She sat by the side and watched Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu discuss the wedding matters. Suddenly, her eyes burned.

    Her first half of her life was lonely and homeless.

    Now that she had Fu Li and a pair of reasonable future inws, she could tell that they loved her from the bottom of their hearts because they loved Fu Li.

    Tang Yin felt that she was still quite lucky.

    ¡°What is the bride thinking?¡± Fu Li could not interrupt his parents¡¯ discussion, so he sat over and apanied Tang Yin.

    ¡°I¡¯m thinking.¡± Tang Yin held Fu Li¡¯s hand. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    <i>Thank you for liking me. Thank you for waiting for me for more than ten years. Thank you for pulling me out of the darkness without considering the consequences.</i>

    ¡°If you really want to thank me, then give me a child early.¡± Fu Li returned Tang Yin¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Screw you.¡± Seeing that Fu Li was starting to be indecent again, Tang Yin did not want to talk to him anymore.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After breakfast, it began to rain outside again. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a thicker windbreaker.

    ¡°Do you need me to apany you for lunch?¡± After sending Xia Wanyuan to thepany¡¯s entrance, Jun Shiling tidied her cor.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded bluntly.

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to be like her mother. She had clearly hoped that her father woulde and visit her, but in the end, because of the so-called ¡°virtuous and moral¡± title, she stayed in the pce alone.

    She really wanted Jun Shiling to apany her, and Jun Shiling was willing to pamper her. She felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pick you up at noon. If there¡¯s anything you can¡¯t settle, tell me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and pushed open the door.

    Shen Qian had been in Lin Xi City recently, so someone else was in charge of receiving Xia Wanyuan today.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan in a cream-colored windbreaker, the originally noisy hall fell silent.

    Everyone had always heard that the chairman of the Xiafeng Group was actually that extremely beautiful female celebrity in the entertainment industry, but Xia Wanyuan had onlye to the Xiafeng Group a few times. This was the first time many people had seen Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan walked in step by step. Her cold temperament made people look at her from afar but not dare to y with her.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan entered the elevator that everyone snapped out of their daze.

    ¡°Oh my god, is this Xia Wanyuan? She¡¯s really good-looking.¡±

    ¡°How beautiful. I heard that she¡¯s the chairman. What is she doing here today?¡±

    ¡°Who knows? CEO Shen isn¡¯t around. She¡¯s just a woman. Could she be here to inspect our work? What does a woman like her know?¡±

 Chapter 825 - How Imposing of You

    <h4>Chapter 825: How Imposing of You</h4>

    Everyone¡¯s discussion was cut off outside the elevator. Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. She had looked at thepany¡¯s schedulest night. It was time for the routine meeting.

    ¡°CEO Xia, are you here for an inspection today? Unfortunately, CEO Shen isn¡¯t around. The leaders have all sorts of meetings today, so they can¡¯t specially apany you.¡± The thin and tall Secretary Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in amazement.

    ¡°You were just recruited? I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Secretary Li. There was a hint of power in her eyes. Secretary Li immediately felt the space in the elevator be oppressive, avoiding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scrutiny.

    ¡°Yes, CEO Xia. I just arrivedst week. My surname is Li. This is my name card. CEO Xia, you can look for me if you need anything.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at his name card and didn¡¯t reach out to take it.

    At that moment, the elevator opened and Xia Wanyuan walked out.

    Secretary Li retracted his name card, pursed his lips, and followed Xia Wanyuan.

    The routine meeting this week was especially intense.

    ¡°CEO Xia, CEO Shen called me yesterday. You changed your contract with Glory World Corporation without permission. The new contract doesn¡¯t suit ourpany¡¯s interests at all.¡±

    ¡°What are you saying? My name isn¡¯t the final signature on the contract. CEO Shen signed it clearly. Isn¡¯t it too far-fetched for you to push the responsibility to me now?¡± Shen Qian was not around, and thepany¡¯s vice president, Xia Yuan, was sitting at the front of the meeting table.

    Everyone knew that the change in the contract was due to Xia Yuan¡¯s secret exchange with the secretary. However, the words signed on the paper were obvious. Furthermore, Xia Yuan was the secondrgest shareholder of thepany. They did not dare to say anything even if they wanted to.

    Xia Yuan sat at the table and looked at Shen Qian¡¯s partners smugly.

    Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. Back then, when the Xiafeng Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, he was gambling abroad and was engrossed in it. He did not care about any matters in the country, so he did not know about the bankruptcy of the Xiafeng Group.

    By the time he returned to China after losing the money, the Xiafeng Group had already been reorganized. His shares had brought him a lot of benefits, and with his status as the secondrgest shareholder, he still had a lot of power in thispany.

    Of course, it wouldn¡¯t work when Shen Qian was around. That person¡¯s methods were too unyielding. During this period of time when Shen Qian was not around, Xia Yuan came to thepany to be his boss. The others didn¡¯t dare to go against him because of his face.

    ¡°Alright, the contract has already been signed. The conditions given by Glory World Corporation are not bad either. Why are you frowning? Quick, tidy up thepany. Glory World Corporation is sending people over the day after tomorrow.¡± Xia Yuan grinned. He was happy when he thought of therge sum of benefits Xuan Li had promised him.

    However, the others did not move when they heard him. Anyone who knew a little about business knew that this contract was equivalent to a ¡°ve contract¡±. The benefits were all given to Glory World Corporation.

    ¡°Go! Why? Is my words useless?¡± Xia Yuan suddenly mmed the table, startling everyone.

    ¡°How imposing.¡± The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open and cold air poured in. Xia Wanyuan stood at the door in her high heels and nced coldly at the people at the meeting table.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this my little niece?¡± Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yuan sat on the chair and did not move.

    ¡°Where are Bo Ning, Mao Lin, Zhang Hu?¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored Xia Yuan and looked at the secretary at the side. These three people were Shen Qian¡¯s ssmates and his capable partners.?<i>Why didn¡¯t I see these few people in thepany??</i>

    ¡°CEO Xia, they¡¯ve all been sent by Director Xia for research.¡± The secretary ignored Xia Yuan¡¯s hint and told Xia Wanyuan their whereabouts.

    ¡°Ask them toe back immediately. Now.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were powerful and imposing. No one dared to say anything.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The secretary received the order and hurriedly informed the three people.

    ¡°Little niece,e and sit.¡± Xia Wanyuan was still thepany¡¯s chairman. Although Xia Yuan was indignant, he still smiled.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the fat Xia Yuan, then got someone to bring a chair over.

    No one knew why Xia Wanyuan was here. They only knew to look at her in a daze.

    Xia Wanyuan knocked on the table with her index finger, pulling everyone out of their daze. ¡°Starting from you, report your work forst week.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the finance head opposite her.

    ¡°Ah, oh, oh, okay, okay.¡± The head minister, who had been named, felt a little panicked for no reason. He didn¡¯t care if Xia Wanyuan could understand and reported ording to the prepared information.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had ignored him like this, Xia Yuan was furious. He wanted to flick his sleeves and leave, but he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would do something behind his back. He could only forcefully suppress his anger and sit on the chair without moving.

    He did not believe that a little girl like Xia Wanyuan could understand financial reports.?<i>She was just putting on an act.?</i>

 Chapter 826 - CEO Xia Conquers the Company

    <h4>Chapter 826: CEO Xia Conquers the Company</h4>

    The finance head finally finished reporting ording to the prepared materials and sighed heavily.

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, his back was almost drenched in sweat on such a cold day.

    He had also been a leader in manyrgepanies, but he had never felt so pressured like today.

    The finance head secretly looked up and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes. He was so frightened that his heart stopped for a moment.

    ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with your table.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at him expressionlessly. ¡°Check the cash flow table again.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Oh, okay.¡± The finance minister wanted to say?<i>how was that possible?</i>?<i>This ount had been meticulously calcted.</i>?However, facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, he did not dare to retort.

    He could only lower his head to check again. Then, he realized that there really seemed to be a problem. He looked up in surprise.?<i>How could Xia Wanyuan tell that there was a problem in such a short time?!! This was too amazing.?</i>

    However, Xia Wanyuan had already looked at the investment head beside him. ¡°Your turn.¡±

    Shen Qian was a very strict person and his usual style was very strong. Everyone already felt very painful having Shen Qian hosting the meeting.

    However, at that moment, they realized how gentle Shen Qian¡¯s meeting waspared to Xia Wanyuan.

    At least they did not have to endure the suffocating pressure.

    Everyone reported their work fearfully. Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She quietly watched people with her ice-cold gaze, making one¡¯s heart turn cold.

    Two hours passed, and finally, thest person finished reporting his work. Xia Wanyuan stopped writing on the paper.

    ¡°Okay, I just heard everyone¡¯s report. I have a few questions to ask.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan called out the heads of the investment department, the risk control Department, the marketing department, and the HR department one after another. Every question pointed to their core work.

    The departments did not do a good job. The in-charge¡¯s casual attempt to muddle through was noticed by Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone underwent Xia Wanyuan¡¯s questioning and felt like they were about to cry.

    ¡°Go back and reflect on these questions properly. Send the entire report to me.¡± After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she looked at the others who were gloating. ¡°The HR department will note down the names I point out next and fire them directly.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan said a few names. Other than the parties involved and Xia Yuan, who were very angry, the others were delighted.

    The few people that Xia Wanyuan had pointed out were all in their positions without powers. Two of them were even Xia Yuan¡¯s trusted aides who usually relied on their status to lord over thepany.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, what are you doing?¡± Xia Yuan could not sit still. Xia Wanyuan was clearly here to p his face.

    ¡°And you, you¡¯re just a shareholder. I didn¡¯t give you any other position. You don¡¯t have to attend such meeting next time.¡± Xia Wanyuan finally ced her gaze on Xia Yuan, but the words she said almost angered him to death.

    ¡°What right do you have?! I¡¯m from thispany!¡± Xia Yuan stood up angrily, but he realized that he could not suppress Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura at all.

    ¡°Because I¡¯m the chairman. Leave this ce now, or I won¡¯t promise I won¡¯t use other means.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold gaze made one¡¯s heart tremble. Thinking of Xuan Li¡¯s reminder, Xia Yuan was really a little afraid. He was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would really hit him.

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m willing toe to this lousypany?¡± Sensing the mocking gazes of the others on him, Xia Yuan lost face and left with a flick of his sleeves.

    Xia Wanyuan was now a major shareholder, so he did not fight her head-on. After all, Xuan Li had reminded him not to sh with Xia Wanyuan for the time being.

    The people who had been called out by Xia Wanyuan to fire had also left with Xia Yuan, including the secretary who had just brought Xia Wanyuan upstairs.

    ¡°What is the contract you just mentioned?¡± Xia Wanyuan got someone to close the meeting room door, then sat on a chair and looked at the remaining people in the meeting room.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, everyone hurriedly sat up straight and reported to her respectfully.

    In a short period of time, she had grasped the situation of the various departments of thepany and wiped out all the vermin. She had even forced back Xia Yuan, who had always been domineering and no one dared to speak up.

    At that moment, everyone¡¯s attitude towards Xia Wanyuan waspletely different from when she first appeared. This ability and means were probably not inferior to Shen Qian¡¯s at all. How could anyone dare to be rash?

    After hearing her subordinates report about the change in contract with Glory World Corporation, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°Arrange it ording to this contract for the time being.¡±

    The contract given by the Xuan Li waspletely a scam. However, it was written in ck and white and had a legal effect. The termination fee was ridiculously high.

    Since normal methods couldn¡¯t resolve it, Xia Wanyuan thought that it was better to follow Xuan Li¡¯s train of thought and beat him at his own game. She wanted to think of a way to let the other party terminate the contract first.

    In the following time, Xia Wanyuan relied on the reports from the various departments to n the entirepany¡¯s business.

    After the meeting ended, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave. Everyone followed Xia Wanyuan out of the meeting room.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived, only Secretary Li weed her.

    When she left, she was surrounded by the higher-ups of thepany.

    ¡°Alright, go back to work.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved her hand.

    ¡°Yes, CEO Xia. Goodbye.¡± Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan with reverence and worship and bowed respectfully to her.

 Chapter 827 - CEO Junâ€™s Parent-Teacher Meeting

    <h4>Chapter 827: CEO Jun¡¯s Parent-Teacher Meeting</h4>

    The employees in the hall were stunned.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived, they had thought that she was just here to go through the motions and would leave quickly. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan had actually stayed for the entire morning?

    Furthermore, she was sent away by so many executives. They had never seen these people act so respectfully. Even when Shen Qian was around, everyone wouldn¡¯t have such an expression.

    ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t dare to write aplete report anymore. I¡¯m afraid of being beaten back by CEO Xia.¡±

    ¡°Me too. CEO Xia is really amazing. Isn¡¯t she a celebrity in the entertainment industry? Why does she know so much about business?¡±

    The executives chatted as they walked through the hall. Everyone listened to Xia Wanyuan in confusion. It was really difficult to associate that beautiful youngdy with the swift and decisive CEO Xia that the executives had mentioned.

    In the car, Jun Shiling had been staring at Xia Wanyuan since she got into the car. He continued to look at her even after she had drunk half a ss of water.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling gently, but Jun Shiling held her back.

    ¡°CEO Xia, you¡¯re so beautiful.¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, his eyes deep.

    Xia Wanyuan had many different faces. Xia Wanyuan, who had just walked out of thepany in a windbreaker surrounded by everyone, had a fierce aura around her. It was as if everyone around her was her foil, and they had to bow down to her wherever she went.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s praise, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. She had to admit that she liked to hear affirmation from her lover.

    ¡°I¡¯m really curious and want to see what you were like when you were in power in my previous life.¡± Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan.

    Just thinking of Xia Wanyuan sitting in the hall and receiving the support of all the officials and the worship of all the people made his heart surge.<i>?How magnificent must that Xia Wanyuan be?</i>

    As if knowing what Jun Shiling was thinking, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s simr to what you imagine. My younger brother is still young. I listen to the government and have to deal with all sorts of matters every day. However, although I have great power, I¡¯m very tired. Other than attending court, I basically lie down and deal with government affairs.¡±

    In her previous life, her body had already been exhausted from rushing around all year round. After that, she had barely supported the huge country. In fact, she was both physically and mentally tired. The bad habit of her spine had made her develop the habit of lying wherever she went.

    This was also the reason why she especially liked to lie on the sofa in the modern world.

    Heartache overflowed from Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He ced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head on his shoulder. ¡°Then live as happily as you can in this life. You have me.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I¡¯m quite happy now.¡±

    The current her had youth, friends, and rtives. Even though she was very busy, it was much better than the days of dancing on the edge of the knife in her previous life.

    Furthermore, she had Jun Shiling, who doted on her to the skies and always supported her. She was very satisfied with her current life.

    Jun Shiling hugged her tighter. ¡°I¡¯ll give you whatever you want in this life.¡±

    A thousand years was already insurmountable, so he would make up for what she had lost previously.

    ¡°Even if I want the stars?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little amused, but she was also very touched.

    ¡°Mm, if you like it, I¡¯ll invest more money for people to research and take you to space to look at the stars,¡± Jun Shiling replied seriously. He was even thinking about transferring money to the research institute.

    ¡°Don¡¯t. I don¡¯t have that idea yet.¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly stopped Jun Shiling. She had not even gone to everywhere on Earth and was not that interested in space.

    Jun Shiling acknowledged. As for whether he listened to Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wanyuan did not know.

    After lunch with Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling sent her to the school gate and went to Xiao Bao¡¯s kindergarten himself.

    Perhaps because of their rtionship, Jun Shiling had rarely participated in Xiao Bao¡¯s activities in the past. Now that they lived together every day, it was different.

    The school had a parent-teacher meeting and Xia Wanyuan couldn¡¯t go, so Jun Shiling epted this mission.

 Chapter 828 - Daddy, Save Me

    <h4>Chapter 828: Daddy, Save Me</h4>

    The kindergarten that Xiao Bao was in was the best noble kindergarten in Beijing. The children here were basically from either rich or noble families.

    Although it was called a parent-teacher meeting, most parents actually treated this meeting as a channel to broaden their connections.

    Many parents had already arrived in the meeting room. Everyone greeted and chatted.

    ¡°Hey, I heard that the only son of the Jun Corporation is in our kindergarten.¡±

    ¡°I heard so too, but I¡¯ve never seen him before. I wonder if I can see the legendary CEO Jun today.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯lle. After all, it¡¯s just a parent-teacher meeting.¡±

    At that moment, there was a small figure squatting at the entrance of the kindergarten.

    The guard recognized Xiao Bao. After all, such an exquisite little child was too memorable. ¡°Little friend, it¡¯s cold here. Why aren¡¯t you going in?¡±

    Xiao Bao looked outside, his big eyes a little disappointed. ¡°Daddy agreed toe and attend the parent-teacher meeting with me.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s cheeks puffed up slightly. Other children had their parents apanying them, but he did not.

    It was almost time for the meeting, but no one came to the door. Xiao Bao waited until he felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.

    ¡°Hey, little friend, look, is that your parent?¡± The guard pointed at a figure walking towards the door. Other than their temperament, their facial features seemed to be printed from the same mold.

    Xiao Bao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked up. His eyes lit up. ¡°Daddy!!!¡± Xiao Bao did not care that it was still raining outside and ran out.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, who was hugging his thigh, and moved the umbre towards him. ¡°You¡¯re a man, yet you cry all day. What did I teach you?¡±

    Xiao Bao clung onto Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and did not let go, his eyes filled with happy stars. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re really here.¡±

    <i>I¡¯m also someone who has parents who will attend the parent-teacher meeting!! I¡¯m so happy!!?</i>

    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and walked to the meeting room. ¡°Don¡¯t cry all the time, okay?¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯m worried that you won¡¯te, Daddy.¡±

    ¡°You have to remember that your mother and I will definitely do what we promised you,¡± Jun Shiling stopped and told Xiao Bao sternly.

    ¡°Mm!¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently. ¡°Daddy, I love you so much!¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes overflowed with warmth.?<i>Who did this brat learn the ability to be sweet-tongued from? He always talked about loving this and that, making one¡¯s heart happy.?</i>

    In the meeting room, the parent-teacher meeting was about to begin. Jun Shiling walked in while holding Xiao Bao¡¯s hand, and the noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

    Jun Shiling sat on his seat and listened to the various reports of the school quietly like other ordinary parents.

    However, other than Jun Shiling, everyone present looked calm, but their hearts were surging.

    Xiao Bao sat beside Jun Shiling and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s arm tightly. From time to time, he would lean over and tell Jun Shiling about his school, and Jun Shiling listened patiently.

    Two hourster, the parent-teacher meeting ended. When Jun Shiling stepped forward to help Xiao Bao get a form, he was already surrounded by a group of children and parents who were fighting for attention.

    ¡°Little kid, are you born in the year of the rabbit? Aiyo, you¡¯re in the same year as our Duo Duo. Come and y at our house next time. Our Duo Duo often talks about you.¡±

    ¡°This little kid is so good-looking and knows how to y the piano? Our Yiyi is learning this too. The two of you can learn it together when you have time.¡±

    ¡°His name is Jun Yin? Our little girl¡¯s name is Yin Yin. The two of you really match.¡±

    Xiao Bao, who was surrounded by a group of girls in princess dresses and was at a loss, looked at Jun Shiling for help.

    <i>Daddy, save me. There are vixens.?</i>

 Chapter 829 - God Fight

    <h4>Chapter 829: God Fight</h4>

    Jun Shiling walked towards Xiao Bao. The parents dispersed under Jun Shiling¡¯s pressure, but they kept signaling their children with their eyes.

    ¡°Hello, Uncle.¡± The youngdies turned and greeted Jun Shiling obediently.

    Jun Shiling could not bring himself to be cold to children. He nodded and pulled Xiao Bao out.

    ¡°Daddy, let¡¯s go.¡± Xiao Bao felt that the way those people looked at him like how he looked at a white rabbit candy. It was strange.

    Watching Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao disappear into the meeting room, everyone had an idea.

    <i>Jun Shiling¡¯s precious son was in this kindergarten.</i>?<i>There would definitely be a chance to know him in the future.?</i>

    There were even some families with girls who had already considered nning a childhood sweetheart route for their children.

    ¡°Daddy, did they fancy you?¡± Xiao Bao held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and jogged to catch up with him.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, who had short legs, and slowed down his pace.

    ¡°Daddy, I heard from Auntie An Rao that some bad aunties want to use me to save the country. In fact, their goal is to marry you, Daddy. See how I did today? I didn¡¯t even bother with them.¡± Xiao Bao puffed up his chest proudly and looked up at Jun Shiling to ask for praise.

    Helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. They had taken a fancy to Jun Yin, the future sessor of the Jun family, but he was not prepared to let Xiao Bao get involved in this too early. ¡°Well done. Next time, if other women get close to you, you have to ignore them too.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao nodded. ¡°Daddy, can I eat a candyter?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling rejected mercilessly.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s joy disappeared.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At Qing University, Xia Wanyuan went to ss as usual. The moment she entered, she saw Yu Qian and An Lin sitting at the back of the ssroom.

    The current An Lin was decked in branded goods. Although she still liked to put on pure light makeup, the sense of money that came from branded clothes, essories, and bags was very obvious.

    An Lin was halfway through her sentence when Yu Qian suddenly turned his head forward. An Lin looked up and saw that it was indeed Xia Wanyuan.

    She felt inexplicably guilty. Sometimes, she felt that Wei Zimu liked her very much. Otherwise, why would he give her such an expensive limousine and jewelry? However, sometimes, she felt that it did not feel real at all.

    Just like now, every time she and Wei Zimu came to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss, Wei Zimu would be extremely serious. No matter what she said to him, Wei Zimu would ignore her and listen to the lecture quietly.

    ¡°Senior, I¡­¡± An Lin reached out to pull Yu Qian¡¯s sleeve. Yu Qian reached for the book, causing An Lin¡¯s actions to miss.

    ¡°Junior, it¡¯s time for ss. Listen to her properly.¡± Yu Qian smiled gently at An Lin with endless love. An Lin began to think that she was overthinking.

    She wanted to say something, but Yu Qian had already begun to look at the podium seriously. It was clearly an extremely gentle side profile, but An Lin felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.

    ¡°Okay, then is there anyone else who has a problem with my exnation? There are only ten minutes left. If there are any problems, you can ask.¡± Xia Wanyuan reserved some time for the students to ask questions.

    Yu Qian was the first to raise his hand. Xia Wanyuan only treated him as a normal student and pointed at him.

    ¡°I think there¡¯s another exnation for the red date symbol that you mentioned just now, Professor Xia¡­¡± Yu Qian spoke confidently.

    Regarding Yu Qian¡¯s question, Xia Wanyuan also quoted scriptures and searched for evidence from various poems and articles.

    The students in the ssroom watched in a daze as the experts dueled and the immortals fought.

    An Lin watched as Yu Qian spoke to Xia Wanyuan to his heart¡¯s content and angrily wrinkled her dress.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan is toopetitive. She is so young and beautiful, a professor at Qing University, and could sing and dance well. No man would reject such a woman.?</i>

    Looking at the branded bag worth hundreds of thousands on the table, jealousy shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes.<i>?So what if Xia Wanyuan is outstanding? The Young Madam of the Wei family is definitely going to be me, An Lin.?</i>

 Chapter 830 - An Lin Drug

    <h4>Chapter 830: An Lin Drug</h4>

    When the bell rang, the person beside An Lin became gentle and amiable.

    ¡°Let me take you to a clubhouse in the west of the city for dinner today.¡± Yu Qian apanied An Lin out of the school.

    ¡°Senior, what kind of person do you think Sister Xia is?¡± An Lin looked straight at Yu Qian with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡± Yu Qian smiled. ¡°She¡¯s quite a talented person.¡±

    ¡°Then, do you like her very much, Senior?¡± Seeing the smile on Yu Qian¡¯s face, An Lin was clearly unhappy.

    ¡°Why would I?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s smile widened. ¡°Junior, don¡¯t you know who I like?¡±

    An Lin blushed from Yu Qian¡¯s affectionate gaze. ¡°Senior, I¡¯ve been living in your house for a long time and you haven¡¯t gone to visit. Why don¡¯t we not go out and eat tonight? I¡¯ll cook myself, okay?¡±

    Yu Qian smiled and nodded. ¡°Of course. I want to try your skills too.¡±

    After receiving Yu Qian¡¯s affirmative answer, An Lin smiled shyly and lowered her head to hide the victory in her eyes.

    Hence, she did not see the mockery on Yu Qian¡¯s face.

    When she returned home, the sky was already dark. An Lin switched on the light. ¡°Senior, I didn¡¯t touch the other things. I added some small things. You won¡¯t me me for messing up your house, right?¡±

    There were all kinds of flowers in the room. In the warm-colored room, there were some dolls and pink pillows that reflected the feelings of the young girl.

    There was a smile in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. ¡°How could that be? I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a cute side in private, Junior.¡±

    Having achieved her goal, the corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Senior, sit first. I¡¯ll cook.¡±

    An Lin poured a ss of water for Yu Qian and smiled shyly at him before walking into the kitchen.

    In the living room, Yu Qian looked around and sat on the corner of the sofa.

    The fragrance of food quickly lingered in the room. In front of the dining table that was flickering with candlelight, An Lin and Yu Qian sat opposite each other. ¡°Senior, drink some wine.¡±

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t have much alcohol tolerance. I¡¯ll be drunk after one ss.¡± The Yu Qian in the light was as moving as a young master standing in the south.

    ¡°How can that be?¡± An Lin looked at Yu Qian in surprise. ¡°Senior, did you say that because you don¡¯t want to drink with me? Forget it then.¡±

    Since An Lin had already said so much, Yu Qian could only support his forehead helplessly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you, Junior. Whatever you say is good.¡±

    Hence, An Lin filled the wine ss in front of Yu Qian. ¡°Senior, please.¡±

    Yu Qian really could not stand the alcohol. Before he finished the ss of wine, his eyes had already begun to blur. An Lin drank a mouthful of the wine in the ss and called out tentatively, ¡°Senior?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian smiled gently and leaned against the table with his forehead drunk. He gradually closed his eyes.

    An Lin put down the wine ss in her hand and a look of smugness shed across her eyes. Just as she was about to stand up to help Yu Qian, she felt dizzy. She could not find anything to rely on and fell straight to the table.

    On the other side of the table, Yu Qian, who had just been too drunk, opened his eyes. His expression was clear and there was no hint of drunkenness.

    At that moment, the warm smile on Yu Qian¡¯s face was gone. His dark eyes were cold as he nced at An Lin indifferently, as if he was looking at an unimportant item.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The night gradually darkened. In the Shi family¡¯s vi in the south of the city, the originally dazzling living room seemed a little dim.

    ¡°Ha, as expected, you¡¯re still here. You like your little b * tch so much.¡± Shi Tian was wearing a nightgown, but her makeup was veryplete. She looked mockingly at Liu Xingchuan, who was walking in from the door.

    Although he was already in his thirties, Liu Xingchuan was still very handsome. Shi Tian leaned on the sofa and looked at him. She suddenly recalled the first time she had seen Liu Xingchuan.

    At that time, Liu Xingchuan was the president of the student union. She had just entered university and had scoffed when her roommate pulled her to see the so-called school hunk.

    <i>I¡¯m the eldest daughter of the Shi family. I have seen all kinds of handsome men. What school hunk?</i>

    However, when she saw Liu Xingchuan walk in wearing a simple shirt, she could clearly hear her heart beating.

    Liu Xingchuan had the elegance of a schr, which was a fatal temptation for her, the eldest daughter of the Shi family.

    Later on, she yed all sorts of tricks, snatched, stole and used all sorts of methods all to be with Liu Xingchuan. However, when she really became his wife as she had wished, she did not feel very happy.

    ¡°Tell me, what can I do to get you to destroy Tang Yin¡¯s photos?¡± Liu Xingchuan¡¯s words interrupted Shi Tian¡¯s thoughts.

    Seeing the disgust in Liu Xingchuan¡¯s eyes, Shi Tianughed at herself. ¡°I want to marry you again. I want you to be tied to me for all eternity. I want you to be my man for all eternity.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Unexpectedly, Liu Xingchuan agreed without hesitation.

 Chapter 831 - You Wonâ€™t Die If You Donâ€™t Act

    <h4>Chapter 831: You Won¡¯t Die If You Don¡¯t Act</h4>

    ¡°What did you say?¡± Shi Tian looked at Liu Xingchuan in disbelief. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hate me to death?? Didn¡¯t you hate our Shi family to death? Hahaha, you can actually do this for that woman.¡±

    Liu Xingchuan had clearly agreed to remarry, but Shi Tian¡¯s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

    ¡°I, Shi Tiantian, am bad, but even if I let the world down, I¡¯ve never let you down, Liu Xingchuan. Ask yourself, do I love you less than that Tang Yin?!¡± Shi Tian could not maintain the calmness on her face anymore and shouted at Liu Xingchuan, almost breaking down.

    Liu Xingchuan watched Shi Tian break down and cry coldly. He clenched his fists tightly. ¡°Where is the original copy of the photo? Hand it over and we can remarry now.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Shi Tian pointed at a box on the table. ¡°This is it.¡±

    Liu Xingchuan opened the box. There were a lot of photos and a sh drive that stored the negatives. Liu Xingchuan¡¯s heart rxed.

    Liu Xingchuan took out a lighter and burned everything in the box on the ground. Only then did he look at Shi Tian. ¡°Let¡¯s go and remarry.¡±

    Shi Tian had been sitting on the sofa and watching quietly. Seeing that Liu Xingchuan had finished burning everything, the corners of her lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you realize that there was no one here when you entered?¡± The smile on Shi Tian¡¯s face widened. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, don¡¯t leave.¡±

    Liu Xingchuan looked into Shi Tian¡¯s eyes. It was only then that he realized that Shi Tian¡¯s eyes were already close to madness and had a premonition of destroying everything. Liu Xingchuan¡¯s heart sank and he looked around the house.

    Only then did he realize that there was a pile of cotton cloth around the living room. Liu Xingchuan walked closer and the pungent smell of alcohol immediately attacked him.

    ¡°Are you crazy?!!¡± Liu Xingchuan widened his eyes and turned to pull the living room door, but the door was already locked from the outside.

    Shi Tian looked at Liu Xingchuan¡¯s flustered expression and smiled quietly. She gently pressed the button and the switch that had been ced long ago spewed out mes.

    In an instant, the living room was aze.

    Shi Tian looked at Liu Xingchuan almost crazily. Her only obsession in this life was him. Since she could not get him, she would die with him.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The lights in An Lin¡¯s apartment were not switched on, and only the candlelight flickered quietly.

    In the bedroom not far away, the soft moans of a woman could be heard from time to time. That harmonious voice would make any man¡¯s blood surge.

    However, on the sofa, Yu Qian sat quietly, holding a book that Xia Wanyuan had mentioned in the day. His expression was calm, and he asionally took notes on the book.

    The sky gradually lit up and Yu Qian had finished reading the book in his hand. Two people came out of the bedroom. ¡°Boss, she¡¯s asleep.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand. ¡°Go.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The two subordinates quickly left the room.

    Yu Qian closed the book and nced at An Lin, who was half-naked in the bedroom, with an indifferent expression. Then, he turned and left.

    Not long after Yu Qian left, An Lin woke up.

    Father An and Mother An had strict requirements. Since she was young, she had an extremely strict biological clock. No matter howte she slept or how tired she was from ying, she would definitely wake up early the next day.

    An Lin wanted to sit up, but she felt as if her body had fallen apart. She looked to the side and was a little disappointed. She actually did not see Wei Zimu.

    A hand with a red mark reached out from the nket and took the phone. There was a WeChat message from Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Linlin, I have something on at thepany. I have to go first. Rest well. There¡¯s a card on the bedside table. The password is your birthday.¡±

    An Lin nced at the card by the bed but did not reach for it. Instead, she ced her hand on her stomach.

    Last night, she did not put any protective measures in the house. Before eating with Wei Zimu, she specially found a famous divine doctor to prescribe a side form for her to pray for a child.

    If the medicine given by the miracle doctor was effective, after such a swift and fierce nightst night, her stomach should have the Wei family¡¯s bloodline.

    Thinking of the scenest night, An Lin¡¯s face flushed red. She really did not expect that the gentle Wei Zimu could be so fierce in bed.

 Chapter 832 - The Best in Saying One Thing but Meaning Another

    <h4>Chapter 832: The Best in Saying One Thing but Meaning Another</h4>

    Before the morning sun couldpletely cover the city, the entire capital was already woken up by a piece of news.

    There was a sudden fire in the Shi family¡¯s vi. As the vi was built halfway up the mountain, there were few people around. The fire burned for the entire night before it was discovered. When the fire brigade rushed over, the entire vi was already in ruins.

    The police arrived quickly and dug out two corpses from the ruins. Afterparing them, they confirmed that they were Best Actor Liu Xingchuan and Best Actress Shi Tian.

    The police investigated for a long time and finally concluded that the two of them hadmitted suicide.

    Furthermore, what was very intriguing was that the two of them did not struggle in the end. It was as if they had already given up on everything and calmly epted the devouring of the mes while hugging each other.

    Liu Xingchuan and Shi Tian were the golden couple who had shocked the entire entertainment industry back then. Now that they had suddenly passed away, they instantly exploded on Weibo¡¯s trending topic.

    Various guesses about the reason for their suicide emerged one after another. Their former fans spontaneously mourned the dead on Weibo.

    [ Oh my god, how could this be? Howpatible were the two of them back then? ]

    [ I heard that the Shi family became bankrupt recently. Could it be that the two of them can¡¯t bear the pressure? ]

    However, no matter how the fans guessed or how the police examined them, they could not find any motive for their suicide. Everything was buried in the fire that burned everything.

    When Tang Yin saw this news, she was stunned for a long time. In the end, she sighed deeply.

    ¡°Ah Yin, they¡¯ve already received their retribution.¡± Fu Li had also seen this news. He leaned over and hugged Tang Yin¡¯s waist. ¡°Let¡¯s go and send Liu Xingchuan off for thest time.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t mind?¡± Tang Yin looked at Fu Li in surprise. She had always thought that Fu Li hated Liu Xingchuan to the extreme.

    ¡°He¡¯s dead. It¡¯s all in the past. Now that I have you, I can let go of everything else.¡± Fu Li kissed Tang Yin. ¡°I won¡¯t think too much. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Even though they had fallen apart in the end and he became unrecognizable, so many years of friendship was nothing in the face of death.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Perhaps because Jun Shiling had gone to attend Xiao Bao¡¯s parent-teacher meeting, Xiao Bao was extremely happy. Over the past few days, he had been sticking to Jun Shiling even more than Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Daddy, how should I read this?¡±

    ¡°Daddy, this is for you.¡±

    ¡°Daddy¡­¡±

    ¡°Go and do your homework properly. Why are you hanging around here?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao with a cold expression.?<i>He was already a little man, yet he was still so clingy.?</i>

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xiao Bao was discouraged and walked towards the small study with his head drooped.

    Looking at Xiao Bao¡¯s pitiful expression, Jun Shiling wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was practicing painting beside him, nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°You clearly enjoy Xiao Bao sticking to you. Why did you discourage his enthusiasm?¡±

    ¡°Who said that? I don¡¯t.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was indifferent. If Xia Wanyuan did not know him well, she would have really believed him.

    ¡°You don¡¯t mean what you say.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head and smiled.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents seriously, suddenly stood up and walked out the door. Xia Wanyuan looked up and smiled.

    As expected, a minuteter, Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao¡¯s shark school bag in one hand and returned to the study with the other, cing him on the small table by the window.

    ¡°Do your homework here. Don¡¯t make a scene. If you dare to make a scene, go out.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was cold.

    ¡°Okay!! Wow!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were filled with stars.?<i>I could do homework with my parents!!?</i>¡°Daddy, Mommy, I love you!¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted and returned to his desk, but his eyes were warm.

 Chapter 833 - Contradictory Painting

    <h4>Chapter 833: Contradictory Painting</h4>

    Yuan Wanxia¡¯s ount had not been updated in a long time. The crying fans were about to overturn thements section of that Weibo ount.

    Coincidentally, Xia Wanyuan had time today, so she wanted to draw two more paintings.

    The courtyard filled with chrysanthemums gave her a lot of inspiration. Xia Wanyuan drew two autumn chrysanthemums and posted them on Weibo. One was enthusiastic, and the other was filled with the sorrow ofte autumn.

    Xia Wanyuan had even drawn an oil painting. It was the Puerile Phoenix that Jun Shiling had given her. Its wanton and ostentatious petals were like a fiery phoenix that was filled with a domineering aura.

    Once the painting was posted, the fans immediately heard the news.

    [ Someone,e quickly. Xia Wanyuan is showing off her skills again! ]

    [ Wow, the living Yuan Yuan!! Catch!!! She drew it so beautifully!! Although I don¡¯t know how to praise her, Yuan Yuan is freaking good. ]

    [ Although I don¡¯t know anything about paintings, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings really hit my heart every time. I don¡¯t know why either. Anyway, every painting of hers can make me feel differently. For example, that Puerile Phoenix is clearly a chrysanthemum, but why does my blood boil when I look at it? ]

    The moment Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was ced, it was almost instantly snatched away. Four million dors instantly entered the ount for the three paintings.

    Such a rapid money attraction ability naturally attracted the jealousy of many people. Some people secretly mocked Xia Wanyuan for marketing her works behind her back, using her of coaxing the value of the painting.

    ¡°That painting of hers was clearly just finished. She actually dared to sell it for more than a million dors when the ink has not even dried. Could it be that she relied on the fact that she was a celebrity and had fans who liked her to make the fans bid to buy her painting, causing the price of her painting to be higher and higher? The stench of this rice industry actually has to be brought to the art industry. It¡¯s really a regression of the art industry.¡±

    The person who said this was a schr who had been unting his aloofness all year round. The people who echoed him were a group of sour and rotten painters who regarded themselves as arrogant.

    Everyone reposted this Weibo post and expressed their condemnation of this bidding trend.

    When the fans saw thesements, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and went to argue.

    [ Sour, then sour. My teeth ache from the sourness. Yuan Yuan is amazing. Aren¡¯t you angry? Someone is fighting to get one of Yuan Yuan¡¯s paintings for ten million dors. Even buying your painting for a hundred dors would be considered to be a waste of space. ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. What do you mean by relying on fans to raise the price? Why? Do I need your approval to have money to buy the painting? Do I live in the Pacific Ocean? ]

    The number of fans Xia Wanyuan had now waspletely different from before.

    Thousands of ridiculingments attacked these sour schrs¡¯ Weibo. These schrs had always dealt with books. When had they ever been mocked like this? They immediately lost their minds and quarreled with theizens online.

    The fans had gained experience from arguing in the entertainment industry and quickly gained the upper hand.

    However, at this moment, a news media posted an article.

    ¡°Regarding how the fan economy will destroy our country¡¯s art field¡­¡±

    The article was extremely formal. It disyed opinions and presented arguments. It directly used Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works as an example. It felt that the way a fan like Xia Wanyuanpeted to buy an idol painting and increase the price of an idol¡¯s work was a destructive blow to the Chinese painting industry.

    With Xia Wanyuan as a precedent, others would no longer study the painting seriously. Instead, they would think of ways to promote and marketing their works.

    At the end of the article, the media also raised a question that made one think deeply. ¡°If a person doesn¡¯t draw well, but because of his fame, the painting can be sold for a very high price. In the long term, the Chinese painting industry will be in chaos, and all of this began with Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 834: An Rao Publicly Scolds Others</h4>

    The fans were stunned by this huge hat. Buying a painting could destroy China¡¯s painting industry? Isn¡¯t China¡¯s painting industry too fragile?

    However, the media that posted this article was arge mediapany that had been active in front of everyone for a long time. They had always stood by their stern and sharp manners, and had many supporters.

    At this moment, some people who did not pay attention to the entertainment industry also joined in the argument. They directly med ¡°brainless fans chasing celebrities without brains¡±. When the fans retorted, they were used of ¡°chasing celebrities and having their brains destroyed¡±.

    After Xia Wanyuan posted on Weibo, she switched off her phone and didn¡¯t notice the storm on the Inte.

    By the window, Xiao Bao was obediently doing his homework. When he encountered a question he did not understand, Xiao Bao would call his father with a frown. Although Jun Shiling looked disdainful, he still put down his work to help Xiao Bao read his homework every time.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, why didn¡¯t you ask Mommy?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached when she saw how clingy Xiao Bao was to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯ve worked hard. Leave this to Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao opened his big eyes and smiled at Xia Wanyuan sensibly.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°You know how to feel sorry for Mommy. Not bad, I¡¯ll give you a candyter.¡±

    ¡°Wow!! Really!! Daddy, you¡¯re the best!¡± Xiao Bao jumped up happily. However, Jun Shiling was too tall, so Xiao Bao could not kiss him even if he wanted to. He jumped up and down for a long time.

    Jun Shiling squatted down at the right time and received Xiao Bao¡¯s kiss.

    After finishing his homework, Xiao Bao skipped downstairs to ask Uncle Wang for milk candy. Xia Wanyuan nced at the smiling Jun Shiling. ¡°Tsk, CEO Jun, you don¡¯t mean what you say.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling walked over and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, leaning into her ear. ¡°You don¡¯t want to sleep tonight, do you?¡±

    ¡°...¡­..¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Sigh, can you calm down?¡± Bo Xiao rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and poured a ss of water for An Rao, who was about to explode from anger on the sofa.

    ¡°Are these people crazy? Our Yuan Yuan is a member of the International Painter Association and is also a professor in the art department at Qing University. Why can¡¯t she sell it at an expensive price? It¡¯s only one million dors. If not for the fact that I couldn¡¯t snatch it, I would be willing to spend ten million dors to buy it. These people are just jealous! I¡¯m so angry!¡± An Rao frowned and looked at the Weiboments, her voice rising in anger.

    ¡°Why are you bickering with them? Don¡¯t worry, Jun Shiling is here. Are you still afraid that Sister-inw will be bullied?¡± Bo Xiao sat beside An Rao in amusement, wanting tofort her.

    An Rao pushed Bo Xiao¡¯s hand away. ¡°No, they scolded Yuan Yuan. I¡¯ll scold them first. This group of idiots only know how to exaggerate.¡±

    As An Rao spoke, she typed a few words. Bo Xiao sat by the side and took a look. He could not help butugh.

    Once this Weibo post was posted, more than half of An Rao¡¯s manager¡¯s hair would probably fall.

    Hence, just as the Inte was in a deadlock, everyone suddenly received a message from An Rao. When they clicked on it, everyone had an idea.

    <i>It¡¯s, it¡¯s really hard, An Rao. As expected of you.?</i>

    @ An Rao: ¡°A group of despicable people who can¡¯t even be sold for free and a media who exaggerates to scare people and desire to see the world burn. Do you really think that by covering yourself with a so-called cover for the Chinese painting industry, you can hide your dirty and narrow heart? Master Yuan Yuan, a member of the China Painter Association, a member of the World Painter Association, and a professor in the art department at Qing University. If her painting isn¡¯t worth 1 million dors, could it be that yours is worthy? You¡¯re worthy of a PP. Shameless.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 835: Fake Sister Hidden Scheme?</h4>

    ¡°Come, drink some water to calm down.¡± Bo Xiao was amused by An Rao¡¯s angry expression.

    An Rao gulped down a ss of water. She was clearly furious by thements online and threw her phone aside. ¡°A group of keyboard warriors!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Let¡¯s not lower ourselves to the level of a keyboard warrior.¡± Bo Xiao raised An Rao¡¯s chin. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. What do you want to eatter?¡±

    ¡°I want to eat hotpot. The weather is cold.¡± An Rao rolled into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°Don¡¯t let my manager know. Otherwise, he¡¯ll say that I won¡¯t lose weight and won¡¯t look good on camera.¡±

    ¡°Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter if you lose weight or not.¡± Bo Xiao was halfway through his sentence when he faced An Rao¡¯s threatening gaze and changed the topic. ¡°You¡¯re equally good-looking.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao rolled proudly in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.

    On Weibo, the fans had already started a new round of public opinion because of An Rao¡¯s words.

    [ Hahahahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. An Rao, as expected of you. Your scolding is too good. That¡¯s right, they¡¯re not worthy. ]

    [ She¡¯s really firm. An Rao really says whatever she wants. She¡¯s not ambiguous at all. I love this character. ]

    [ Emmmm, is An Rao trying to use Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity? The main character hasn¡¯t even spoken yet, but An Rao jumped out and scolded the schrs and media. The situation is so stiff. It feels very weird. Isn¡¯t this a fake sisterhood? ]

    [ The person in front, I agree with you. A normal person would choose to wait and see first. Who woulde up and scold people first? I think An Rao can¡¯t stand seeing Xia Wanyuan doing well. Tsk, tsk. ]

    An Rao¡¯s fans were furious when they saw thisment.?<i>Our idol helped your Xia Wanyuan speak up, but in the end, you¡¯re saying that we¡¯re trying to gain poprity?</i>

    Hence, before Xia Wanyuan¡¯s matter was settled, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s fans began to argue.

    After the fan group became toorge, the quality was uneven. No matter how rational fans persuaded, there were always some radical fans who said extremely hurtful words.

    There were especially many scandals about An Rao. In the past, she could not be bothered to care about them and let others say whatever they wanted. There were a lot of news on the Inte about An Rao being a mistress, destroying other people¡¯s marriage, and opening a room with a rich businessman. Furthermore, even if the paparazzi did not have evidence, they made it up.

    Some of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans found these news. ¡°An Rao is not a good person to begin with. I think she approached Xia Wanyuan to gain poprity and suck blood.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s fans were not to be outdone and found Xia Wanyuan¡¯s past scandals.

    Coincidentally, half a year ago, Xia Wanyuan was also gued by scandals. If they casually brought one out, she would either be fooling around in a nightclub or acting like a big shot.

    The fans of both parties attacked each other crazily with their scandals.

    Even though there were only a few irrational fans in the beginning, under the guidance of someone with a heart, the scolding battle continued to escte. When the fans saw their idol being humiliated by the other party, they began to be irrational.

    After the night passed, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans did not even argue with the schrs and media anymore and focused on the battle with An Rao¡¯s fans.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, our public rtions team has already been fully invested. From the looks of it, the effect is very obvious. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s market value has fallen rapidly. Even her fans are gradually starting to leave.¡±

    ¡°Mm, continue to increase the Inte water army.¡± Xuan Li looked at the war on the Inte with satisfaction. ¡°Buy the shares of Xiafeng Group.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s market ability to bring goods was too good. To a partner like him, it was a good thing and a bad thing. He had to suppress Xia Wanyuan¡¯s value. This way, during the negotiations, he would not let Xiafeng Corporationpletely gain the upper hand.

    Most importantly, as the chairman of the Xiafeng Group, any movement of Xia Wanyuan would affect the shares of the Xiafeng Group. Just like this time, the shares of the Xiafeng Group were falling rapidly.

    Xia Wanyuan woke up early. She nced at her phone and realized that there was a message from Chen Yun. She clicked on the link Chen Yun had shared and clearly frowned.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been staring at her phone for a while with the nket half lifted, Jun Shiling was afraid that she would catch a cold and pulled the nket closer.

    <h4>Chapter 836: The Jun Corporation Protects the Princess</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned around, nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, typed a message, and posted it. Then, she switched off her phone.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to get up.¡± Her hand had been outside for a long time and was a little cold. Xia Wanyuan reached out to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, but Jun Shiling grabbed it and ced it on himself to warm her.

    ¡°Then don¡¯t get up.¡± Jun Shiling originally wanted to get up and exercise. Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, he also felt a little tired. ¡°Are you busy today?¡±

    ¡°Fortunately, I don¡¯t need to go out today.¡± The production team¡¯s filming was almost done, and there were no sses in school. It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to have a day off.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll apany you at home.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead.

    The nket was warm and filled with Jun Shiling¡¯s aura. Xia Wanyuan felt as if she was soaked in a soft cloud. She rubbedzily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Sleep a while more.¡±

    What Jun Shiling could not stand the most was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unguarded dependence on him. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was faintly asleep, Jun Shiling sighed in his heart.

    Flirting every day without knowing it made him ufortable.

    The temperature fell even more, and the cold rain enveloped the entire capital city.

    Contrary to reality, the virtual world was already in a heated discussion.

    Early in the morning, Xia Wanyuan updated a post.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°I¡¯ve said it a long time ago. If you like me, you can watch my shows, listen to my songs, and admire my works. If you don¡¯t like me, you can leave. I don¡¯t need any followers. An Rao is my good friend. I don¡¯t want anyone to hurt her.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were concise, and the scolding battle between Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s fans was pressed to pause.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weiboments split into a group of fans who left the scene, a group of rational protectors, and gratefulments from An Rao¡¯s fans.

    [ That¡¯s too disappointing. Who are we protecting day and night? In the end, you said that you don¡¯t need fans. I¡¯ll stop being your fan. ]

    [ The person in front, remove yourself quickly. Yuan Yuan said long ago that she doesn¡¯t need fans. You¡¯re the ones who wishfully tore at this and that in the name of doing her a favor. You didn¡¯t believe her when she said that she had a good rtionship with An Rao. You had to imagine it yourself and even ran to scold An Rao. You¡¯re the crazy ones. ]

    [ Thank you, Xia Wanyuan, for speaking up for An Rao. Our An Rao has a straightforward personality to begin with. I apologize for scolding you yesterday. ]

    An Rao quickly reposted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    @ An Rao: ¡°A heart for you, Sister.¡±

    The person controlling the public opinion behind the scenes didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to be so direct. If it were other celebrities, they would have been in a difficult situation. On one hand, they were fans who supported their poprity, and on the other, she was their friend. Normally, people would choose to ignore them and wait for things to cool down on their own.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not consider offending her fans at all and stood beside An Rao.

    They quickly quelled the spreading dispute in the most brutal way.

    The public rtions team was a little confused. <i>What should we do next??</i>

    An Rao was so fierce, but she didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to be even fiercer than her. It was no surprise that the two of them could be good friends.

    Not long after An Rao supported Xia Wanyuan,

    On the official Weibo of Qing University, the big shots of the China Painter Association, the Ancient Zither Association, the China Art Bureau, the China Go team, the national public service tform, and so on expressed their support.

    Later on, the directors and actors who had worked with Xia Wanyuan, such as Wang Wei, Li Heng, Director Yang, Fu Li, Yan Ci, and Qin Wu, also posted on Weibo.

    When theizens saw that the big shots who affected all walks of life hade out, they immediately did not dare to take out the keyboard that they had prepared for a long time. They swallowed the criticism that was about to reach their mouths.

    However, what surprised everyone the most was not the Weibo posts posted by these people.

    What surprised everyone the most was that

    The official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation personally posted a Weibo post.

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°For anyone who harms Xia Wanyuan in rumors, the Jun Corporation will retain the right to pursue thewsuit.¡±

    It was normal for thepany to help stand up for many celebrities.

    However, this was the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo ount!?

    Everyone was stunned. This Weibo, ount that could be considered the coldest one, barely posted in more than ten years. It only posted at extremely important times.

    The previous Weibo post was a notification that Jun Shiling had opened his ount.

 Chapter 837 - Daily Life

    <h4>Chapter 837: Daily Life</h4>

    The operator of the Jun Corporation was also very confused. He had received Lin Jing¡¯s notice early in the morning asking him to support a celebrity with the official Weibo ount.

    Although the management was filled with doubts about how Xia Wanyuan could make the Jun Corporation appear, since it was Lin Jing¡¯s idea, they could only do as he said.

    Theizens on Weibo touched the Jun Corporation¡¯s Weibo and spent five seconds flipping through all the Weibo posts.

    [ The coldest Weibo post in history has actuallye to life¡­ With just a few Weibo posts, they actually posted one to stand up for their artistes. I want to know what Xia Wanyuan has to do with the Jun Corporation to receive such love. ]

    [ Don¡¯t you know? Star Creation Entertainment has long been bought over by the Jun Corporation. Xia Wanyuan is now a member of the Jun Corporation, but I don¡¯t understand why Xia Wanyuan could make the Jun Corporation appear personally. ]

    [ Could Xia Wanyuan be the girlfriend of one of the executives in the Jun Corporation? That¡¯s not right. Even executives can¡¯t move the Jun Corporation. ]

    Amongst all the guesses, there were also CP fans of ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± who appeared, but they were quickly suppressed by the passers-by.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is only 22 years old. Look at how old Jun Shiling¡¯s child is. Are you guys crazy? Can you have a bottom line?¡±

    The CP fans could not stand the public opinion and quickly shrank back, quietly pretending to be dead.

    It was already past ten in the manor. Xia Wanyuan finally woke up after a nap.

    Jun Shiling was still by her side, but he had been busy for a long time. Sensing Xia Wanyuan getting up, Jun Shiling put hisputer aside.

    Xia Wanyuan had already lifted the nket, but Jun Shiling covered her head.

    ¡°What are you doing? I want to get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist was held by Jun Shiling. She struggled for a while, then stopped moving when she sensed the change in Jun Shiling¡¯s body. She pushed him with a flushed face.

    Jun Shiling leaned on Xia Wanyuan and looked at her with starry eyes. ¡°Kiss me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned over and kissed him. ¡°Is that enough?¡±

    The smile on Jun Shiling¡¯s face widened. ¡°Kiss me again.¡±

    Helpless, Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat breakfast.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s all you know.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s heart trembled at her soft and dependent look. He lowered his head and bit Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ordered a few things she wanted to eat, and Jun Shiling got out of bed to get her breakfast.

    The rain outside gradually became heavier, hitting the French windows and flowing down lines of water.

    After breakfast, Jun Shiling sat on the carpet by the window with Xia Wanyuan in his arms. The two of them did not do anything else and only hugged each other to look at the rain outside the window.

    It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to not be busy with anything and be in a rxed state. Every time this happened, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was especially blissful to have Jun Shiling by her side.

    When she did not speak, Jun Shiling would not deliberately look for her and let her empty herself in his world.

    ¡°I want to go out and y in the afternoon.¡± After thinking about her two lifetimes, Xia Wanyuan finally woke up from her rxed state.

    ¡°Don¡¯t I have to satisfy you no matter what you say?¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Where do you want to go?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to use my brain. You think about it.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was arrogant and unreasonable, threw the question to Jun Shiling.

    <h4>Chapter 838: Different Treatment</h4>

    ¡°Don¡¯t I have to satisfy you no matter what you say?¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Where do you want to go?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to use my brain. You think about it.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was arrogant and unreasonable, threw the question to Jun Shiling.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling suddenly chuckled.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at him in confusion.

    Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°If you want me to think, I want to y on the bed.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling angrily, causing him to press her down on the carpet.

    ¡°Get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to struggle anymore. In any case, she could not break free. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since you brought me out to y. As expected, you¡¯re unwilling to spend even this little effort after winning my heart.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s noses touched. Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s delicate appearance when she was being unreasonable, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°Can I take you out now?¡±

    ¡°Then get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed him, but Jun Shiling had no intention of getting up.

    ¡°Give me some benefits before you go,¡± Jun Shiling said as he ced his hand behind Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head, then leaned down and sucked on two red lips.

    Not long after, before the fire went further, Jun Shiling picked her up at the right time.

    Soon, the two of them got into the car heading to the airport.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Damn, what does it mean?¡± An Lin threw her phone aside as a fierce look shed across her eyes.

    Ever since she had a one-night stand with Wei Zimu, the number of times Wei Zimu visited her had decreased. She could only contact him through her phone. Furthermore, he either said that he was in a meeting or on a business trip.

    An Lin was a little flustered.<i>?Did I get yed by Wei Zimu?</i>

    However, on second thought, even if she was yed, she had to have an exnation. She could not let someone sleep with her for no reason. If the medicine given by the master was fine, she would be able to find out if there was a child in her stomach in a week.

    She did not believe that a family as big as the Wei family would dare to renege on their debts if she was pregnant.

    At that moment, the doorbell rang.

    An Lin walked over and opened the door. A person in a suit was standing outside. ¡°Hello, Miss An. I was sent by Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei asked us to bring you to choose clothes.¡±

    ¡°Why are we choosing clothes?¡± An Lin looked at him in confusion.

    Her phone rang at the right time. An Lin picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Wei Zimu. ¡°Junior, go and pick a favorite evening gown. Tomorrow night is my grandmother¡¯s birthday banquet. I¡¯ll bring you along.¡±

    After reading Wei Zimu¡¯s news, An Lin could not suppress the joy on her face.?<i>Wasn¡¯t Wei Zimu¡¯s grandmother Old Madam Wei?!?</i>

    ¡°Let¡¯s go now.¡± An Lin replied to Wei Zimu and immediately left happily.

    When they were downstairs, An Lin called Mother An.

    ¡°Hello, Linlin, what¡¯s wrong? Are you used to school?¡± Mother An marked the students¡¯ homework while answering An Lin¡¯s call.

    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m doing pretty well. I just have something to ask you,¡± An Lin sat in the car Wei Zimu had sent and said obediently to Mother An.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Mother An liked the habit of An Lin reporting to her about everything and asking her to make decisions. Unlike An Rao, she always left her control and did things outside, which she could not control at all.

    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s the young master of the Wei family that I mentionedst time. He invited me to attend Old Madam Wei¡¯s seventieth birthday with him. I¡¯m not sure what gown I should buy. Can you help me decide?¡±

    When Mother An heard An Lin¡¯s words, she immediately put down the homework in her hand. ¡°Old Madam Wei wants you to go for her birthday? That¡¯s great. Send me a photo after you change your clothes. I¡¯ll help you take a look. I must let Old Madam Wei leave a good impression on you.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Mommy. I¡¯m in the car. I¡¯ll call you when I get there.¡±

    ¡°Okay, tell me if you don¡¯t have enough money.¡± Mother An nodded repeatedly. Old Madam Wei was a big shot that Father An could not see no matter how hard he tried. They actually let An Lin attend her birthday banquet. If Father An knew this good news, she could be even more confident in front of him.

    ¡°Teacher Li, I heard you mention Old Madam Wei. Is she from the Wei family where our ancestral home is located?¡± The other teachers in the office heard Mother An¡¯s call and waited for her to hang up the phone before surrounding her.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s that Old Madam Wei. She¡¯s celebrating her seventieth birthday tomorrow. She said that she¡¯s inviting my daughter to her birthday banquet.¡± When one was middle-aged, colleagues wouldpare with their children. Mother An answered her colleague¡¯s question rather proudly.

    <i>So what if An Lin did not score higher than the daughter of the other teacher in the office? An Lin could enter the Wei family, which was something even the high-scorers could not enter.?</i>

    ¡°How amazing,¡± her colleague said sourly. ¡°Is it your eldest daughter or second daughter?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s our An Lin.¡± Hearing someone mention An Rao¡¯s name, Mother An felt unhappy.

    ¡°Oh, I think your An Rao has been quite popr recently. Teacher Li, you¡¯re such a peaceful and quiet person. I couldn¡¯t tell that your daughter¡¯s temper is quite fiery.¡± The colleague could not stand seeing Mother An¡¯s smug and arrogant expression. Thinking of the gossip her daughter had told her, she could not help but mock her.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mother An felt that something was wrong when she heard her colleague¡¯s words.

    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you following your daughter¡¯s Weibo?¡± As the colleague spoke, she clicked on her phone and found the Weibo post that An Rao had posted to defend Xia Wanyuan for Mother An to see.

 Chapter 839 - Opening the Gift

    <h4>Chapter 839: Opening the Gift</h4>

    Mother An roughly nced at it and saw those insults. Her blood pressure instantly soared. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°I heard that your daughter has a good friend in the entertainment industry. She¡¯s standing up for her.¡± The colleague saw that Mother An¡¯s expression was not right and added fuel to the fire. ¡°Aiyo, you don¡¯t know how many people An Rao scolded. They were all famous painters in the country and the newspaper you read every day. She scolded them really fiercely.¡±

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell, Teacher Li. Why isn¡¯t your daughter like you at all?¡± The other teachers surrounded her.

    Father An was a small official with real power locally, and An Lin had worked hard to get into the secondrgest university in Beijing. The sense of superiority that Mother An usually exuded had already made everyone very unbnced. Now that they had a chance, everyone gathered and discussed noisily.

    In Mother An¡¯s eyes, An Rao¡¯s actions were equivalent to being an embarrassment. Thinking of how angry Father An would be if he knew about this, Mother An felt depressed. She was so furious and wished that she had never given birth to this humiliating An Rao.

    The colleagues around her were still discussing, but Mother An could not stand it anymore. She left the office with a straight face and called An Rao. ¡°You damned girl, did we provide for you to go to school so that you could argue and scold others?! Did all your books end up in the dog¡¯s stomach?!¡±

    ¡°Auntie, even if you gave birth to An Rao, you don¡¯t have to scold her like this, right?¡± Unexpectedly, it was Bo Xiao¡¯s voice on the other end of the line.

    ¡°Give the phone to An Rao.¡± Worried about Bo Xiao¡¯s identity, Mother An suppressed her anger.

    ¡°Why should I give it to her? Why should I let you scold her?¡± It was a rare weekend and An Rao was still sleeping. Bo Xiao did not n to wake her up. ¡°If you don¡¯t feel sorry for your daughter, I will feel sorry for my wife.¡±

    Mrs. An was stunned by Bo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°I know you have a high position, but let me tell you. An Rao is my An family¡¯s daughter. If her father and I don¡¯t agree, your marriage won¡¯t work. I won¡¯t let my An family¡¯s daughter be someone else¡¯s ything.¡±

    <i>Bo Xiao had a lot of scandals. If An Rao married him, my colleagues in school wouldugh at me to death.?</i>

    ¡°Oh,¡± Bo Xiao replied. ¡°You really think too highly of yourself. I can¡¯t tell that you treat An Rao as your daughter. I can¡¯t be bothered to agree with you.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Mother An usually faced students, and they would not speak to her this disobediently. She was furious. Then, there was a beeping sound on the phone, as Bo Xiao hung up the phone.

    Mother An¡¯s blood pressure soared.?<i>I would never let An Rao be with such a man!! She is alreadywless. If she married such a frivolous man, how would others look at my An family??</i>

    ¡°There¡¯s something wrong.¡± Bo Xiao threw his phone aside.

    He had grown up by himself since he was young. He had thought that others would be happy if they had both parents. Now, it seemed that having a pair of unclear parents was not as good as growing up themselves. He wondered how An Rao had not grown crooked in such a deformed family.

    Bo Xiao walked into the bedroom and saw An Rao sleeping soundly with the nket in her arms.

    Seeing her bold sleeping posture, Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes. He took off his shoes and crawled into the warm nket. Sensing the source of warmth approaching, An Rao consciously leaned over and groaned. ¡°I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    ¡°I called for breakfast. It¡¯ll be here in a while.¡± Bo Xiao put An Rao¡¯s exposed arm in.

    ¡°What are you going to doter?¡± An Rao was in a daze and had not woken up from her sleep.

    ¡°Open the gift.¡±

    ¡°Huh? What gift?¡± Having known An Rao for so long, Bo Xiao had never given her a gift. The moment she heard that there was a gift, An Rao woke up.

    ¡°Get up and eat. Won¡¯t you know after eating?¡± Bo Xiao held An Rao¡¯s hair and twirled it.

    ¡°You¡¯re so mysterious.¡± With anticipation for the gift, An Rao immediately got up from the bed.

    After breakfast, Bo Xiao locked An Rao in the bedroom.

    ¡°¡­ Even if you didn¡¯t prepare a gift for me, you don¡¯t have to treat me like this, right?¡± An Rao mmed the door and yelled angrily.

    ¡°Stay inside. There are snacks, books, and movie resources in the cab. I¡¯ll call for you toe outter.¡± Bo Xiao closed the door and blocked An Rao¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re so mysterious.¡± An Rao did not probe further andy back on the bed to sleep.

    The mysterious Bo Xiao opened the door and teams of staff entered.

    ¡°Keep your voice down. Don¡¯t wake her up,¡± Bo Xiao instructed.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± the staff replied softly as he carefully arranged ording to the agreed blueprint.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already boarded the ne. Although it was raining lightly on the ground, the clouds were peaceful.

    ¡°Fu Li and Tang Yin are getting married.¡± Fu Li was extremely anxious. The wedding date was set to be in ten or so days, and the invitation had already been delivered to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm, the Fu family is very righteous. Fu Li is not bad either. He doesn¡¯t have a dark background,¡± Jun Shiling said as he apanied Xia Wanyuan to look at the blue sky outside the window.

    ¡°Why are you paying attention to this?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.<i>?How could Jun Shiling have the time to care about Fu Li??</i>

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Jun Shiling gently knocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°It¡¯s all because of you.¡±

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was concerned about Tang Yin, he got someone to investigate the Fu family. Fortunately, the Fu family was a ce worth entrusting to Tang Yin.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen modern people get married.¡± Xia Wanyuan was inexplicably looking forward to Tang Yin¡¯s wedding.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly and looked a little unhappy. ¡°I want to hold a wedding that¡¯s world-renowned for someone, but unfortunately, someone hasn¡¯t admitted my identity until now.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up a grape on the table. ¡°It¡¯s sweet. Do you want to eat it?¡±

    ¡°Feed me.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan faintly.

    Xia Wanyuan peeled the skin and handed it to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling opened his mouth and bit down, then suddenly leaned forward and transferred half of the grape to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth.

    In the courtyard, it was raining and the ground was wet. Xiao Bao was wearing small shoes and ying in the water. The old master was sitting under the roof. Seeing how energetic his great-grandson was, Old Master Jun was happy.

    ¡°Little sweetheart, are you happy toe to Great-grandfather?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m happy!¡± Xiao Bao turned around and smiled widely.

    ¡°Did your father bully you? Tell Great-grandfather, Great-grandfather will help you teach him a lesson.¡±

    ¡°Other than not letting me pester Mommy all the time, he hasn¡¯t bullied me.¡± Xiao Bao carried a small bucket and poured water into the sapling.

    ¡°Then do you think that Daddy doesn¡¯t treat you well?¡± Old Master Jun understood Jun Shiling¡¯s character. That child looked cold but was warm on the inside and was not good at expressing himself. In fact, he doted on Xiao Bao a lot, but he never said anything.

    ¡°No, Great-grandfather.¡± Xiao Bao did not even water the seedlings anymore. He turned around and looked at Old Master Jun seriously. ¡°Mommy said that love is felt and not said. I think Daddy loves me very much. Mommy loves me very much, and Great-grandfather loves me very much too.¡±

    ¡°Aiyo, my good child is so sensible.¡± The old master did not expect Xiao Bao¡¯s words to be so heartwarming. He waved at him.

    Xiao Bao ran towards Old Master Jun happily. When he reached him, he stopped in his tracks because he was afraid of wetting Old Master Jun¡¯s clothes. His big eyes were shining. ¡°Because I have the best Mommy in the world. Mommy taught me well.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number one rainbow fart ambassador, Xiao Bao, spared no effort in praising Xia Wanyuan in all aspects.

    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. Your mother taught you well.¡± Old Master Junughed loudly because of Xiao Bao and patted his head. ¡°Good boy,e in and eat pastry with Great-grandfather.¡±

    ¡°Mm!!¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently and ced his little hand in the old man¡¯s. He skipped into the house with the old man.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    An Rao usually slept for two hours during her afternoon nap. When she woke up, Bo Xiao pushed open the door.

    ¡°You¡¯re not done yet?¡± An Rao rubbed her eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m done,e out and change into good-looking clothes.¡± Bo Xiao looked at the childish bear pajamas on An Rao in disdain.

    ¡°Do you know how to appreciate it? Yuan Yuan and I bought this together, okay? It¡¯s very cute. You have straight eyes,¡± An Rao said as shepeted with Bo Xiao.

    She did not want to change. With a bare face, she wore cute pajamas and slippers as she walked into the living room.

    Then, she was stunned by the scene in the living room.

 Chapter 841 - Bo Xiaoâ€™s Proposal

    <h4>Chapter 841: Bo Xiao¡¯s Proposal</h4>

    The entire living room was filled with flowers and dolls. Layers of sea of flowers decorated the house into a dreamlike sea.

    There were vaguely photos of her growing up in the flowers. An Rao did not know where Bo Xiao had gotten these photos.

    In the huge living room, only the middle piece was empty. It was filled with all sorts of gift boxes. There were more than twenty big and small ones.

    ¡°Come here.¡± Bo Xiao took her hand and pulled her to the middle.

    Only then did An Rao notice Bo Xiao¡¯s clothes. He was dressed very formally today.

    The high-end suit made him look tall and slender. The diamond brooch on his chest glistened. He was clearly at home, but Bo Xiao was wearing shining leather shoes.

    The two of them had been home without makeup for the past few days, and Bo Xiao had even styled his hair today. It was obvious that his face had been well tidied, and his already handsome face was even more radiant.

    ¡°What day is it today?¡± An Rao¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat, although she could not say why. She only looked at Bo Xiao in a daze.

    Bo Xiao did not answer. Instead, he tore open a gift box. ¡°Come and see the gift.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao could only obediently lean towards Bo Xiao.

    Feeling ufortable squatting, Bo Xiao sat on the carpet and reached out to pull An Rao to sit between his legs.

    ¡°A rattle drum?¡± An Rao was a little stunned as she looked at the small drum in Bo Xiao¡¯s hand.?<i>Why did this person give me this? Although it¡¯s quite cute, I wouldn¡¯t y with it at my age.</i>

    Bo Xiao handed the rattle drum to An Rao and opened the next one.

    The next gift was a set of children¡¯s cutlery and a cartoon-shaped three-piece set. The small size was prepared for infants and children.

    Next, Bo Xiao opened children¡¯s shoes, fairy tale books, small school bag, stationery, little dresses, and other gifts and ced them in front of An Rao.

    At first, An Rao did not understand, but as the number of gifts increased, An Rao could tell that Bo Xiao was giving her gifts from the age of one until she became an adult.

    An Rao watched as Bo Xiao kept opening them. The gifts in front of her were already piled up like a small mountain.

    Twenty boxes had been opened, and there was only onerger box left.

    Bo Xiao used a small knife to cut open the packaging outside, then handed the box to An Rao and pulled her up.

    An Rao¡¯s palms were already sweating. This atmosphere and Bo Xiao made her involuntarily have a guess. This guess made her mouth dry and her throat tight.

    ¡°Open it.¡± Bo Xiao pointed at the box in An Rao¡¯s hand.

    An Rao lifted the box and saw a thick stack of property certificates, a pile of keys, and some documents.

    Bo Xiao smiled at An Rao. Even his fox-like eyes, which usually looked a little unruly, became gentle under the light.

    ¡°There are twelve houses that I bought with my own money in here. They¡¯ve all been transferred to your name. There are five bank cards and the password is your birthday. The car keys are all in this box.¡±

    As Bo Xiao spoke, he knelt on one knee in front of An Rao and took out an exquisite box from behind him. He opened it with a bang.

    Inside was a ring that was shining under the light.

    ¡°I¡¯m very sorry that I didn¡¯t participate in your life for the past 21 years. These gifts are mypensation to the former baby An Rao. The box in your hand is everything I earned myself. Now, it belongs to you.

    I couldn¡¯te in time to participate in your past, but in the future¡­

    I will be as loyal to you as I am to the country. I will love you as my life and ept all of you.

    Are you willing to give the rest of your life to me, Little An Rao? ¡±

 Chapter 842 - An Rao and Bo Xiaoâ€™s Official Engagement Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 842: An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s Official Engagement Announcement</h4>

    In An Rao¡¯s heart, Bo Xiao had always been very handsome.

    However, An Rao had never thought that Bo Xiao could be so handsome.

    Bo Xiao, who was dressed in a suit and kneeling on one knee, the light cast a stream of light in his affectionate fox eyes thatplemented the diamond ring in his hand.

    Looking at Bo Xiao¡¯s assets, tears welled up in An Rao¡¯s eyes. ¡°What did you call me?¡±

    ¡°Little friend,¡± Bo Xiao smiled and repeated. ¡°You didn¡¯t be a little friend in your parents¡¯ hands, but it¡¯s okay. In the future, you¡¯ll be a little friend in my hands. You can be willful, reckless, and do whatever you want. I¡¯ll never abandon you and neglect you.¡±

    As Bo Xiao spoke, An Rao¡¯s tears kept falling.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s every word smashed into her heart.

    She looked carefree and did not care about anyone¡¯s opinion.

    However, when she was very young, she was also a child who did not know anything and only instinctively sought support from her parents. However, to them, what she received was always rejection and abuse.

    Now, Bo Xiao was telling her that no matter how she messed around and was willful, he would not abandon her.

    To a person who hadcked love since she was young, Bo Xiao¡¯s words gave her a huge sense of security, giving her heart, which had been drifting all year round, a safe harbor to stop in.

    ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were a little red, but he had a smile on his face. ¡°You haven¡¯t said if you¡¯re willing to marry me.¡±

    An Rao wiped her tears and looked at Bo Xiao with a red nose. ¡°I do.¡±

    ¡°Hand.¡± Even though it was a certainty that An Rao would agree, Bo Xiao¡¯s heart still surged when he heard An Rao personally say yes. The smile on his lips could not help but curve up.

    An Rao handed her hand to him, and Bo Xiao took out the diamond ring and solemnly slipped it onto An Rao¡¯s ring finger.

    Then, he gently nted a kiss on the ce where An Rao was wearing the ring. ¡°I¡¯m very honored to be Little An Rao¡¯s lifelong guard.¡±

    ¡°Wow.¡± An Rao wanted to hold back her tears, but she could not help it.

    The feeling of walking alone for more than twenty years and suddenly having someone give her a strong sense of security with all their heart and love was too touching and exciting.

    An Rao could not help but cry in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. Bo Xiao helplessly allowed An Rao to wipe the tears on him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Your throat will be hoarse if you cry anymore.¡± Bo Xiao wiped An Rao¡¯s tears.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier, you liar? I thought you didn¡¯t n to propose anymore. You made mee out dressed like this.¡± An Rao looked at the clothes on her.?<i>They were too informal.</i>

    On such an important asion, she should have dressed up and epted Bo Xiao¡¯s proposal.

    ¡°You¡¯re still talking about me?¡± Bo Xiao knocked An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°I reminded you just now to change your clothes. What did you say? You said that I¡¯m straight and don¡¯t understand your aesthetic standards.¡±

    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s your fault.¡± An Rao pounced into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms with bared ws.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. It¡¯s my fault.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and pressed An Rao¡¯s hands and feet. ¡°Are you happy?¡±

    An Rao stopped struggling and looked into Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes with a smile on her face. ¡°I¡¯m very happy. No one has ever loved me so much. Bo Xiao, I love you.¡±

    ¡°I love you too.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and stood up.

    An Rao was puzzled.?<i>This dog man, forget it. On the ount that he was so sincere in proposing, this little sweetheart didn¡¯t even kiss me before getting up?</i>

    As if knowing what An Rao was thinking, Bo Xiao smiled and walked to the side. He took out the video recorder hidden in the flowers. ¡°I¡¯m recording. If you want to kiss me, you have to wait.¡±

    ¡°Ahhh, Bo Xiao!!! I cried in such an ugly manner just now!! Why didn¡¯t you tell me there was a video recorder!¡± An Rao felt that her image had disappeared when she thought of her earth-shattering cry. She could imagine how Bo Xiao would tease her with the video.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as I¡¯m handsome.¡± Bo Xiao blinked at An Rao. That smile made An Rao gnash her teeth angrily.

    Bo Xiao opened his arms and weed the threatening An Rao.

    The public opinion on the Inte had just subsided, and everyone had just stepped down from the front line.

    Caught off guard, An Rao and Bo Xiao announced officially.

 Chapter 843 - Madam Bo; Fansâ€™ True Confession

    <h4>Chapter 843: Madam Bo; Fans¡¯ True Confession</h4>

    Bo Xiao and An Rao, a beautiful female celebrity and a young and handsome officer. This was a configuration that only couples in novels would have, so there had always been arge number ofizens paying attention to them.

    After Bo Xiao posted on Weibo, arge group of people immediately squeezed in. Before they could read the dynamic content, they began to cry out. After reading the dynamic content, everyone was silent.

    Rows of lemon essence stood in the wind.

    @ Bo Xiao: ¡°@ An Rao, this child agreed to my proposal today. In the future, everyone can call her Madam Bo. The house, car and cards are yours, and I¡¯m yours too.¡±

    He attached a picture on his Weibo post. In the room that was filled with roses, Bo Xiao hugged An Rao, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes. Bo Xiao smiled at the camera, while An Rao covered her face and hid in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m so sour. I¡¯m a pickled fish. I¡¯m sour, a rookie, and redundant [1. ¡®Rookie¡¯ and ¡®redundant¡¯ had the same pronunciation as ¡®vegetable¡¯ in ¡®pickled¡¯ and ¡®fish¡¯ respectively]. What kind of godly boyfriend is this?!! Bo Xiao called her Little An Rao!! Boohoo, I want someone to call me little friend too. ]

    [ Am I the only one who noticed the gifts on the ground? They seem to be from when she was young to when she grew up. Is Bo Xiao helping An Rao fix her previous birthday?? I can¡¯t think about it anymore. If I think about it again, I¡¯m going to go into seclusion. Can such a boyfriend be distributed in the country? ]

    [ Lemon is surrounding me. Oh my god, the novel character hase to reality. Bo Xiao is really good at talking!! I really want to know how Bo Xiao proposed to An Rao. Boohoo, let the dog food be more fierce. ]

    Thements flooded quickly one by one, pushing Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo to the top.

    Before theizens could finish the lemon in their hands, Bo Xiao posted another short video.

    In the video, Bo Xiao knelt on one knee and proposed to An Rao. After An Rao said ¡®I do¡¯, Bo Xiao put on the ring for her.

    That sentence, ¡°I¡¯m very honored to be the lifelong guard of Little An Rao.¡± It directly poked at the youthful hearts of the variousizens. The trending topic ¡°Bo Xiao¡¯s proposal¡± swept through all the major socialworks, and the video of this proposal was also spreading everywhere.

    ¡°Ahhhhh, Bo Xiao, you¡¯re going to anger me to death!! You made yourself look so good!! I¡¯m so ugly. I didn¡¯t change my clothes or put on makeup. Now, the entire Inte knows how ugly I am!!¡± An Rao only knew that Bo Xiao had posted their video on Weibo after receiving many messages of blessings.

    ¡°You¡¯re not ugly at all.¡± Bo Xiao pressed a hand on An Rao¡¯s waist to stop her from making a scene. ¡°I just want everyone to know that you¡¯re mine.¡±

    An Rao stopped fooling around. She had to admit that Bo Xiao¡¯s reason had sessfully convinced her.

    ¡°Besides, look,¡± Bo Xiao said as he handed the phone to An Rao. ¡°No one said you were ugly.¡±

    Under Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo, there was ament that had been pushed to the highest praise.

    ¡°As old fans who have followed An Rao since she debuted, you don¡¯t know how loudly I¡¯m crying now.

    Under the spotlight, An Rao had always been bright and beautiful.

    However, only fans like us knew that she often stayed upte to film. Even when she sprained her ankle, she did not show it and she danced the entire dance alone. She even wore an off-shoulder evening gown to film advertisements in the middle of the winter when she had a fever.

    She would always appear in front of the camera in the most perfect state, making it impossible to find any ws.

    It was the first time I had seen her without makeup and wearing her usual pajamas.

    I think Bo Xiao must have given her a great sense of security to let go of everything. No matter how much fans love her, we can only apany her for a while.

    I¡¯m very happy. In the future, An Rao will be Bo Xiao¡¯s little friend. Thank you, Bo Xiao. In the future, we¡¯ll hand An Rao to you. ¡±

    Under this Weibo post were many thoughts of An Rao¡¯s fans. An Rao¡¯s eyes turned red.

    Bo Xiao pulled her into his arms. ¡°You keep crying.¡±

    ¡°I just want to cry.¡± Not only did An Rao cry, but she also wiped her tears on Bo Xiao¡¯s clothes.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and kissed the corners of An Rao¡¯s red eyes.

    An Rao reposted Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo post with red eyes and added, ¡°I¡¯m so lucky to have met you.¡±

    Theizens instantly looked over. In just ten minutes, there were 100,000ments.

    There was nothing else in the caption except for two sinct words.

    <h4>Chapter 844: Older Brother and Younger Brother</h4>

    Ever since An Rao posted on Weibo, she had been happily scrolling through thements.

    ¡°There are only those three words after so manyments. You¡¯ve been looking at it for five minutes. Is it that interesting?¡± Bo Xiao was amused by An Rao¡¯s silly look.

    Thements on An Rao¡¯s Weibo were filled with the words ¡°Madam Bo¡± that theizens hadmented with. However, An Rao flipped from top to bottom and looked at everyone¡¯sments seriously.

    ¡°Do you like it when others call you that?¡± Bo Xiao took An Rao¡¯s phone away and forced her to focus on him.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± An Rao snorted softly, but the smile on her lips could not be suppressed.

    ¡°Madam Bo.¡± Bo Xiao approached An Rao and caught her off guard. His deep voice spilled into her ear, causing An Rao¡¯s eyes to widen slightly.

    ¡°You¡­¡± An Rao¡¯s heart fluttered at Bo Xiao¡¯s call.

    ¡°Silly.¡± Bo Xiao chuckled. ¡°Call me Hubby.¡±

    ¡°Annoying.¡± An Rao was a little embarrassed, her face flushed red.

    ¡°Call me. I like hearing you call me.¡± Bo Xiao pinched An Rao¡¯s face. Feeling the warmth of his fingertips, his heart warmed.

    <i>An Rao said that she was extremely lucky to have met me. In fact, am I not lucky to have met An Rao too?</i>

    ¡°Hubby,¡± An Rao finally called out, but in the next second, Bo Xiao kissed her.

    The matter between An Rao and Bo Xiao was known throughout the city, and An Lin had seen the Weibo post they had posted early on.

    Seeing that the handsome Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were filled with An Rao, anger shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes.

    Although Wei Zimu treated her well and was not stingy with gifts, she had never seen such a gaze in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes.

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao helplessly and dotingly, his eyes shining.

    Even though she already had a high-quality boyfriend like Wei Zimu, An Lin still subconsciously felt jealous of An Rao when she saw her shining with happiness. She subconsciously wanted to snatch everything from An Rao and take it for herself like before.

    <i>An Rao, that fool with only a beautiful face, only knew how to reincarnate. She was born with the life of ady. What right did she have to have such a good love??</i>

    The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the love in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes was blinding. An Lin was so angry that she wanted to throw her phone out. At that moment, her phone rang.

    Upon seeing the caller, An Lin hurriedlyposed herself. In her joy, she called out shyly, ¡°Senior, I thought you wouldn¡¯t call me anymore.¡±

    ¡°Why would I?¡± There was a smile in Yu Qian¡¯s tone. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up for dinner tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay, the weather is cold today. Senior, you have to take care of your health.¡± An Lin cared for Yu Qian considerately.

    On the other end of the line, Yu Qian was ying with the sycamore leaves that had been made into specimens. There was no warmth in his eyes. ¡°The weather is cold. Add two more clothings for my brother.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The message was quickly transmitted.

    In an undergroundboratory far from China, to maintain the temperature needed for the drug reaction, even though the underground temperature could be considered cold, there was no heat-generation equipment in theboratory.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s lips were purple from the cold. He was wearing a shirt. After too long, the color of the shirt had be a little yellow.

    There were cold metal instruments everywhere, making one¡¯s heart turn cold. Wei Zimu hugged his arm and curled up in the corner.

    Even in such an extreme environment, there was still a hint of light in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes.

    The door suddenly opened. Wei Zimu narrowed his eyes and looked in front. Jayce, who had lost a hand, threw two clothes and a nket at Wei Zimu. He looked at him fiercely and closed the door again.

    Wei Zimu put on the clothes for himself with trembling hands and wrapped the nket around him. Feeling the warmth that he had not felt in a long time, Wei Zimu sighed softly.

    Although Yu Qian had promised not to hurt Xia Wanyuan, Wei Zimu was still a little worried.

    Even though he was already in a hell-like state, he still couldn¡¯t help but wonder if Xia Wanyuan was doing well.

 Chapter 845 - The Beautiful Vast Grassland

    <h4>Chapter 845: The Beautiful Vast Grasnd</h4>

    After theizens finished eating their food on Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s Weibo, they quietly went to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo and worried about her marriage.

    ¡°Your good sister is about to get married. Let¡¯s wait for Xia Wanyuan to announce it too.¡±

    To female celebrities in the entertainment industry, falling in love and getting married often meant a decline in their poprity. Hence, most of them teased Xia Wanyuan and urged her to quickly find one.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s CP fans evenpeted in her Weiboments.

    By the clearke of Garutu, Xia Wanyuan sat on thewn and read the messages everyone had sent her. Jun Shiling sat beside her. Not far away, two strong horses were wagging their tails and drinking the water in theke.

    Other than Xia Wanyuan sending him messages, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone and WeChat were usually quiet.

    Today was different. He had received a message from Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Look, the entire world knows that An Rao and I are engaged.¡±

    Below was a screenshot of Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s Weibo. Jun Shiling looked at the screen filled with Madam Bo on An Rao¡¯s Weibo and frowned slightly.

    Bo Xiao still felt Jun Shiling was not triggered enough, so he sent him another message. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not bad to be able to publicize our love every day.¡±

    Jun Shiling pretended not to see Bo Xiao¡¯s message and switched off his phone.

    Xia Wanyuan had also received a WeChat message from An Rao.

    An Rao had sent the entire proposal video to Xia Wanyuan. Seeing An Rao¡¯s excited screams and shy expression on the screen, Xia Wanyuan found it funny and sent several emoticons of cats touching heads to An Rao.

    ¡°I¡¯m ying on the ins. I¡¯ll bring you roastedmb leg tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Wow!! Sister, you¡¯re the best! I love you so much!¡±

    After chatting with An Rao, Xia Wanyuan looked to the side. Jun Shiling had already stood up and pulled the horse over. ¡°Come, let¡¯spete and see if your skills have deteriorated.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, took the reins, and leaped up.

    After Xia Wanyuan got off the ne, she realized where Jun Shiling had brought her. This was the vast ins of Hulunbel. It was endless and vast.

    In her previous life, the Xia Dynasty was located ind and did not have such arge grasnd.

    The scenery here waspletely different from Beijing. At that time, Beijing was filled with gloomy rain. The yellow leaves that fell exuded a bleak feeling, while the ins had blue sky and white clouds. The sky was clear and boundless.

    The blueke reflected the cows and sheep on the ins. The golden grass stretched across a golden carpet. A gentle breeze blew, bringing the ripples on theke and crushing the white clouds in the pool.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling galloped on the ins.

    The boundless ins allowed Xia Wanyuan to increase her speed to the limit without any scruples. Jun Shiling was not at the losing end at all. The two of them rode together, leaving beautiful silhouettes on the ins.

    The two of them rode the zing sun and returned under the moonlight. In front of the tent, there was already a bonfire for barbecue. While they were still on the horses, Xia Wanyuan could already smell the fragrance of barbecue.

    The starry sky at the ins was not as distant as Beijing. Large stars hung in the sky, as if one could pluck one with a stretch of their hand.

    As Xia Wanyuan looked at the sea of stars that filled the sky, she imitated the herdsmen on the ins, hugging amb leg and eating it.

    ¡°Cheers.¡± Jun Shiling picked up a bowl of wine and raised it at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Cheers.¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up the bowl and clinked it with Jun Shiling¡¯s. The wine spilled onto the fire, causing a me to suddenly rise.

    The mes reflected in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes with a bright smile.

    The two of them were clearly extremely noble people. In this vastnd, they did as the Romans did, eating meat and drinkingrge bowls of wine.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alcohol tolerance was extremely bad, and she quickly became tipsy. Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms and patted her shoulder gently while telling her the legendary story of the ins.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, this ce is very fun.¡± Although Beijing was very good, the ins were endless and the free and vast atmosphere made her very fond of it.

    ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy.¡± Jun Shiling tucked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair behind her ear. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to see all the beautiful scenery in the world.¡±

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had dedicated her life to the mountains, rivers, and moons of the country. In this life, he only wanted to show her the mountains, rivers, and moons of the world.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alcohol tolerance was too low. She did not hear what Jun Shiling said. The bonfire in front of her was warm and she reeked of alcohol. Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling sat in front of the bonfire with her in his arms, his eyes changing. No one knew what he was thinking.

    However, he did not sit for long. Worried that the cold air would disturb her, Jun Shiling carried her into the tent.

    <h4>Chapter 846: Wei Family¡¯s Birthday Banquet An Lin Suspects Pregnancy</h4>

    The top of the tent was transparent. When Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, she saw white clouds that were so low that they seemed to be on her face.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake? Come and drink this soup.¡± Jun Shiling woke up early habitually. He had been working for some time. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was awake, he picked up a bowl of soup.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan stepped barefoot on the woolen nket. Her head was a little dizzy from the alcohol, and she frowned slightly.

    ¡°We¡¯ll go back in a while, right? Let¡¯s bring some food back for An Rao and Bo Xiao.¡± Knowing that Xia Wanyuan hade to the grasnd, An Rao kept instructing her on WeChat to bring the roastedmb leg back to Beijing.

    ¡°¡­¡± Thinking of the unting message Bo Xiao had sent him yesterday, Jun Shiling actually did not want to bring him anything to eat. However, facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s questioning gaze, Jun Shiling still agreed to her actions.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The weather in Beijing improved that day. To ordinary people, the city was as busy as ever.

    To the big families in Beijing, today was an important day.

    The Wei family¡¯s Old Madam was celebrating her seventieth birthday today. From morning onward, there was an endless stream of people entering and exiting the Wei family to give gifts.

    An Lin had dressed up very early and arrived at the Wei family¡¯s courtyard.

    She had the invitation from Wei Zimu in her hand and her journey was smooth.

    An Lin eximed in her heart as she walked. From the outside, she felt that the house was elegant. When she entered, she realized how deep the Wei family¡¯s foundation was.

    The guests who came and went were all important figures that An Lin could only see on the news usually.

    From afar, she saw Wei Zimu in a suit chatting with the guests. She looked around for a long time but Wei Zimu did not notice her. An Lin could only find a sofa and sit down.

    ¡°You know Wei Zimu?¡± An Lin had just sat down when a woman with exquisite makeup walked over.

    An Lin looked up and her pupils constricted slightly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Let me ask you. Are you Wei Zimu¡¯s new girlfriend?¡± Wei Yu saw this woman looking around from afar. Recently, the Wei family had been spreading rumors that Wei Zimu was in a rtionship. ¡°Pfft, that¡¯s all. As expected, the cover matches the pot.¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡± An Lin could not stand other people¡¯s contemptuous gazes the most.

    The corners of Wei Yu¡¯s lips curled up. Just as she was about to say something, a servant rushed over. ¡°Second Miss, the Old Madam is calling for you.¡±

    ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Wei Yu was toozy to argue with An Lin and only said to the butler, ¡°Youet in any Tom, Dick, and Harry in. Chase her out.¡± Then, Wei Yu left.

    The butler was not that impulsive. He had seen An Lin¡¯s information and naturally knew her. ¡°Miss An, Young Master is busy greeting guests. He¡¯ll be here in a while. Sit first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After all, An Lin had nevere into contact with such arge family. Facing the butler, she felt very guilty and did not dare to ask too much.

    An Lin woke up very early and dressed up. She did not even have time to eat breakfast. Time passed little by little, and the exhaustion that spread from her stomach gradually made her body weak. An Lin wanted to stand up and get a ss of water, but to her surprise, her vision blurred and she fell.

    Someone had fallen here, which attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Yu Qian nced at the fallen An Lin and gestured for his subordinates to carry her to the backyard.

    Wei Zimu had always been Old Madam Wei¡¯s beloved grandson. When she heard that the girlfriend Wei Zimu had brought had fainted, Old Madam Wei specially brought the doctor to the waiting room to visit An Lin.

    After being injected with a nutritional injection, An Lin slowly woke up and met a silver-haired olddy.

    An Lin¡¯s heart trembled. She had seen the photos and this was the Old Madam of the Wei family. She hurriedly ignored her dizziness and got out of bed to bow to the Old Madam.

    ¡°No need. Rest if you¡¯re not feeling well.¡± Before the Old Madam could finish speaking, An Lin suddenly covered her arm and cried out in pain.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Doctor, take a look at her.¡± Seeing An Lin¡¯s expression, the old madam worriedly got the doctor to go forward and check.

    An Lin looked panicked, but she did not dare to do anything because of the old madam. She could only let the doctor lift her sleeve.

    Then, a bruised arm appeared in front of the Old Madam. After confirming that the Old Madam had seen the injury, An Lin hurriedly covered her arm shyly.

    The Old Madam had experienced this before. Seeing this scene, she knew what had happened.

    ¡°Old Madam, I suggest that in two to three days, let thisdy do a checkup.¡± The doctor checked on An Lin¡¯s condition. The experienced and knowledgeable him gave Old Madam Wei a suggestion.

    ¡°Check what?¡±

    ¡°Check if thisdy is pregnant.¡±

 Chapter 847 - The Princess Arrives Before the Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 847: The Princess Arrives Before the Banquet</h4>

    There were not many people in the room. When they heard the doctor¡¯s words, they looked at each other. Old Madam Wei¡¯s expression did not change as she nced at An Lin.

    She had already gotten someone to investigate this youngdy¡¯s life. Her family background was clean, and her life since she was young was very clean. If Wei Zimu liked her, it was not impossible to marry her.

    Unfortunately, among the younger generation, she valued Wei Zimu the most. She had originally wanted to matchmake Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu, but Wei Zimu had found a girlfriend first. Now, he probably even had a child, so she could not force him.

    ¡°Rest here first. I¡¯ll get Wei Zimu to visit youter.¡± Old Madam Wei nced at An Lin and instructed.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Old Madam. I was just a little dizzy just now. I¡¯ll be out in a while.¡± An Lin hurriedly pulled herself together.?<i>This was a good opportunity to show my face in front of so many important people with Wei Zimu. How could I miss it?</i>

    Old Madam Wei also saw An Lin¡¯s anxious expression. Her eyes flickered, but she did not say anything. However, her impression of An Lin decreased slightly. ¡°Alright, go and do your own things. An Lin, if you feel unwell, look for the butler to help you.¡±

    ¡°Yes, thank you, Old Madam Wei.¡± An Lin did not expect Old Madam Wei to be so easy to get along with and immediately rxed.

    After Old Madam Wei left with the group, An Lin stayed in the house for a while. Wei Zimu did note to visit her.

    Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening and that the banquet was about to start, An Lin tidied herself and walked out.

    There was an endless stream of people giving gifts, but only a portion of them could stay for the banquet.

    At the entrance of the hall, Yu Qian was greeting the guests with a smile. When he saw An Lin looking around, the smile on his face widened. He waved at An Lin and looked at the person standing in front of him. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, An Lin.¡±

    At that moment, the two people standing in front of Yu Qian turned around.

    ¡°Sister?!¡± An Lin looked at An Rao in surprise and Bo Xiao, who was beside her.

    ¡°An Lin?!¡± An Rao was also shocked. She did not expect Wei Zimu to actually bring An Lin here.?<i>Could it be that this young master of the Wei family was serious?</i>

    ¡°Junior, bring your sister and General Bo in.¡± Yu Qian still had an extremely gentle smile. When he met Bo Xiao¡¯s vignt gaze, his expression became even gentler.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    An Lin walked to Bo Xiao¡¯s right and walked into the hall with them. She tilted her head and secretly nced at Bo Xiao¡¯s handsome side profile. Some ripples arose in An Lin¡¯s heart.

    A passionate man was always charming. In the proposal video, the affectionate and handsome Bo Xiao made An Lin yearn for him.

    ¡°Brother-inw, you¡¯re already a general? That¡¯s amazing.¡± An Lin smiled with a light dimple.

    However, Bo Xiao had no intention of acknowledging her. Instead, he raised his arm and raised an eyebrow at An Rao.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s sudden act of being cool confused An Rao.

    ¡°Stupid. Hold onto me.¡± Bo Xiao handed his arm to An Rao. ¡°Madam Bo, can you be a little more self-aware?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao smiled shyly and ced her hand in Bo Xiao¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to meet a few friends.¡± Bo Xiao tucked An Rao¡¯s hair behind her ear and brought her to where everyone was gathered.

    An Lin, who had beenpletely ignored, felt hatred when she saw An Rao chatting happily with the guests beside Bo Xiao.

    In the An family, An Lin was the focus of everyone. An Rao was only a contrast, but now, she felt like a foil.

    An Lin walked towards Yu Qian. ¡°Senior, there are so many guests today. I don¡¯t know them. Can you introduce me?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s smile did not change. ¡°An important guest ising in a while. Go and sit first. I¡¯ll apany youter.¡±

    Then, Yu Qian turned around to speak to the guest from the Wang family. An Lin¡¯s expression was a little unnatural, but she still nodded obediently. ¡°Okay.¡±

    However, before she could turn around, she saw Yu Qian walk out. An Lin looked forward and her heart instantly clenched.?<i>It was that Xia Wanyuan again.</i>

    Because it was an official banquet, although it waste autumn, Xia Wanyuan was still wearing a ck fishtail dress and a windbreaker to ward off the cold. Her hair was tied up simply, revealing her neck. She bent down and took a slight step.

    Just walking the few steps from the courtyard door to the hall, she attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Professor Xia.¡± Yu Qian walked to Xia Wanyuan and smiled warmly at her.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at him and walked straight into the hall. Yu Qian was not angry. Instead, he followed Xia Wanyuan and prepared to enter.

    At that moment, Old Madam Wei actually walked out of the hall and waved at Yu Qian, who was beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°An important guest is here. Come with me to wee him.¡±

 Chapter 848 - The Princess Splashes Coffee Domineeringly

    <h4>Chapter 848: The Princess Sshes Coffee Domineeringly</h4>

    Yu Qian nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was walking calmly into the hall, and nodded at Old Madam Wei. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Old Madam Wei¡¯s sudden departure shocked everyone in the hall. <i>What kind of person was worth Old Madam Wei personally going out to wee?</i>

    Everyone stopped chatting and looked out the door in unison.

    After waiting for a while, before Old Madam Wei entered, they heard a collective gasp at the door. Everyone looked at the door curiously, and then the entire ce fell silent.

    Xia Wanyuan had already taken off her windbreaker. The ck fishtail dress made her look tall and noble. Under the bright light, the diamond on her neck reflected a bright light.

    However, no matter how dazzling the light was, it was still reduced to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foil.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan slowly walk over, everyone could only think of the words ¡°peerless beauty¡±.

    ¡°Wow, Yuan Yuan is really beautiful. I¡¯m a woman, but I¡¯m crying from her beauty.¡± An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan with starry eyes and waved at her. Xia Wanyuan smiled at her, which immediately caused low cheers.

    Bo Xiao took a look and returned his gaze to An Rao. His eyes were smiling. ¡°Sister-inw is indeed beautiful. Back then, the first time I saw Sister-inw, I was stunned.¡±

    ¡°When was the first time you saw Yuan Yuan?¡± An Rao was curious and pulled Bo Xiao to ask non-stop.

    The hall was rtively empty. Xia Wanyuan found a sofa in the corner and sat down. She felt that it was warmer here. Furthermore, the vase in front could block everyone¡¯s view.

    Xia Wanyuan had just sat down when a sharp female voice came from beside her. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Chairman Xia? Chairman Xia, you¡¯re so respected. You actually received an invitation from the Wei family.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. At that moment, she did not like her photographic memory.

    Not far away sat Wang Yuan, whom she had a conflict with in the mallst time. Looking at the watch in her hand, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°A watch worth 12 million dors is indeed quite beautiful.¡±

    ¡°You!!¡± The moment Xia Wanyuan mentioned this, Wang Yuan¡¯s heart burned with anger. This lousy watch had cost her 12 million just because she hadpeted with Xia Wanyuan out of spite. She couldn¡¯t earn money herself, and because of this, she had been scolded by Father Wang.

    ¡°Pfft, do you think you¡¯re above others just because you obtained an invitation and entered this hall?¡± Wang Yuan looked at Xia Wanyuan mockingly. ¡°You can¡¯t even touch the borders of the capital¡¯s rich and powerful circle.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so noisy.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to talk nonsense with this person.

    ¡°I really don¡¯t know who will give you this invitation. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s fake.¡± When Wang Yuan thought of the 12 million dors, the way she looked at Xia Wanyuan was as if she was holding a knife.

    ¡°Hello, please give me a cup of coffee.¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored Wang Yuan and stopped the servant who was walking past with a tray.

    ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. Are you deaf?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neglect angered Wang Yuan.

    ¡°Do you see this cup of coffee?¡± Xia Wanyuan held a cup of mocha, and her cold eyes finallynded on Wang Yuan. ¡°If you say another word, this cup of coffee will be on you in the next second. I¡¯ll do as I say.¡±

    An extremely intimidating aura suddenly burst out of Xia Wanyuan. Looking at her pair of snow-white eyes that could pierce through one¡¯s heart, Wang Yuan felt guilty. She wanted to say something, but Xia Wanyuan raised her wrist and Wang Yuan stood up.

    ¡°How impressive, Director Xia.¡± Wang Yuan was about to leave when a hand pressed on her shoulder.

    ¡°Miss Wei!!¡± Wang Yuan was shocked and hurriedly greeted Wei Yu.

    If the Wang family was considered below average in the noble circles in Beijing, then as the daughter of the top family, Wei Yu, was an existence that was surrounded by stars in the noble circles.

    The circle that Wei Yu was in was filled with top socialites. Even if Wang Yuan wanted to befriend her, she was not qualified. She did not expect to be able to interact with Wei Yu face to face.

    ¡°Sit down. Let¡¯s see if she dares to ssh it on you. Does she really think she¡¯s something?¡± Wei Yu pressed Wang Yuan¡¯s shoulder and made her sit down. She nced at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully. ¡°A crow is a crow. It can never fly to the top.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± When Wang Yuan saw this scene, she knew that Xia Wanyuan must have offended Wei Yu. She immediately followed her words and said, ¡°Who does she think she is? Speaking of which, you should investigate the guard. Did this person forge an invitation ande here? She lowered the standards of this banquet for no reason.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± A sudden scream pierced through the entire hall, attracting everyone¡¯s gazes.

    Wang Yuan held her chest and looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. ¡°How dare you ssh water on me!¡±

    Although the coffee was not hot, the handmade white evening gown that she had spent a lot of money to customize abroad had been destroyed!!

 Chapter 849 - Jun Shiling Attending the Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 849: Jun Shiling Attending the Banquet</h4>

    Wei Yu sat by the side and a few drops of coffee were sshed on her bare arm.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already said it. I¡¯ll do as I say.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced the cup on the table. The cup touched the wall of the table and made a crisp sound. ¡°You¡¯re the ones who don¡¯t believe me.¡±

    ¡°Damn you!¡± Wei Yu exploded in anger and stood up.

    However, there was a sudden movement at the entrance of the hall.

    ¡°Wee, guest.¡±

    Everyone who was watching the drama immediately turned their attention to the door.

    Old Madam Wei was walking in with a young and handsome man.

    As the person in charge of the Wei family, Old Madam Wei was a person who stood at the top of the aristocratic circle. The one who was able to let such an old Old Madam Wei personally wee and apany her.

    Even though most of the people present had never seen Jun Shiling with their own eyes, they immediately knew that this handsome man who was like a celebrity in the entertainment industry was the legendary Master of the Jun family.

    No matter how young he was, everyone present looked at him with extreme respect and fear.

    Most of the people present saw Jun Shiling and wanted to find a chance to show their faces in front of himter.

    To the women in the waiting room, Jun Shiling¡¯s appearance undoubtedly aroused their hearts.

    Wei Yu had never seen Old Madam Wei treat anyone so seriously in his life. Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s carved-like face, she was stunned for a moment.

    Just like that, this corner was forgotten by everyone. The hall was ridiculously quiet, and Wang Yuan did not dare to make a sound. She could only cover her clothes and look at Xia Wanyuan hatefully.

    Jun Shiling nced around and did not find the person he wanted to see. He restrained his gaze and sat at the main table in the middle with Old Madam Wei.

    The Old Madam and Jun Shiling took their seats, and the others returned to their seats.

    ¡°Miss Wei.¡± Wang Yuan finally dared to speak, but Wei Yu stood up and walked towards the main table.

    Without Wei Yu¡¯s support, Wang Yuan did not dare to pester Xia Wanyuan anymore. She cried and called home, then secretly ran out of the hall.

    Sitting at the main table, the hall was visible. Only then did Jun Shiling realize that Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa.

    The simplest ck color could outline Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure perfectly. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned a little cold, especially when he saw that many men¡¯s gazes were around Xia Wanyuan. His aura became even colder.

    ¡°Grandma, CEO Jun.¡± Wei Yu walked to Old Madam Wei with a sweet smile.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned even colder, and his gaze was not directed at Wei Yu at all.

    ¡°Go down.¡± Old Madam Wei looked at Wei Yu unhappily. ¡°You don¡¯t know your limits.¡±

    Wei Yu could only walk to the ce that was specially arranged for the juniors. Before she left, she did not forget to secretly nce at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°CEO Jun, don¡¯t take offense. The younger generation is insensible.¡± Even though the man in front of her was young enough to be her grandson, Old Madam Wei¡¯s tone was very respectful towards Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Old Madam Wei, you¡¯re too kind,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly.

    Old Madam Wei nced at the people present and called the butler over. ¡°Prepare for the banquet.¡±

    ¡°Huh? But where¡¯s Miss Xia?¡± The butler covered his mouth and reminded Old Madam Wei.

    Hearing the butler¡¯s words, the Old Madam sighed in her heart.

    She had originally nned to introduce Xia Wanyuan to everyone at this birthday banquet.

    However, she had just received Jun Shiling outside the door. Along the way, Jun Shiling had chatted with her about the current situation.

    The Old Madam suddenly changed her mind. Now that Xia Wanyuan had yet to mature, the Wei family was divided and in turmoil.

    She was indeed anxious to find a sessor, but if she acted too rashly, it would only hurt Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s start the banquet directly. We¡¯ll talk about Wanyuan in the future,¡± Old Madam Wei finally said.

    After hearing the Old Madam¡¯s words, the butler gestured for the servants to start serving the food.

    An Lin looked at the table in the front row and felt resentful.?<i>I am clearly Wei Zimu¡¯s girlfriend, so why am I sitting at the bottom table with everyone??</i>

    She looked around and realized that Xia Wanyuan did not even have a seat. Instead, she was still on the sofa in the corner.

    An Lin immediately felt bnced.?<i>No matter how beautiful and talented Xia Wanyuan was, she couldn¡¯t even sit at a table.?</i>

    <h4>Chapter 850: The Princess¡¯ Identity Shocks the Crowd</h4>

    Wang Yuan had already changed her clothes and was eating with her father at thest table.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan sitting alone on the sofa, Wang Yuan called for the servant and said a little loudly, ¡°There¡¯s someone without a seat here. Did you identally let her in?¡±

    Wang Yuan¡¯s words instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Everyone looked and saw that there were really no empty seats around.<i>?Could it be that this pretty youngdy really sneaked in? That¡¯s not possible.?</i>

    ¡°Pfft, she¡¯s just a small celebrity. Perhaps some sugar daddy brought her in. How embarrassing.¡± Wang Yuan wished she could pull Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tendons. Her words were extremely unpleasant.

    Everyone present was someone with status in Beijing and did not have time to pay attention to the entertainment industry or the Inte. They did not know much about Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that she was so beautiful but sat alone in the corner, they immediately believed Wang Yuan¡¯s words.

    ¡°F*ck, are they crazy?¡± An Rao wanted to go up and look for Xia Wanyuan when she was stopped by Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Stop for a while. Is Sister-inw someone who will suffer a loss? Wait for a while.¡± Bo Xiao pressed An Rao down, afraid that she would spoil Xia Wanyuan¡¯s n.

    At that moment, the servant went to ask the butler and returned to add a stool at Wang Yuan¡¯s table.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Xia. Please sit here.¡± The servant stood in front of Xia Wanyuan and wanted to bring her to her seat.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not move. She only looked at the main table from afar.

    In this top-notch power circle, Jun Shiling sat in the core position. He was like an emperor sitting on a high throne, and the rest of the people bowed to him.

    Wang Yuan also saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. Taking advantage of the fact that this was a corner seat and no one noticed, she spoke impudently. ¡°Some people really think too highly of themselves. A crow is a crow, and it will never be a phoenix.¡±

    It was just a corner. Through the vase of green nts, the guests in front did not notice themotion.

    Amidst themotion, through the gaps in the leaves, Xia Wanyuan saw Jun Shiling, who was filled with elegance with every move he made. She suddenly stood up.

    The servant was shocked. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored them and walked straight to the front.

    At first, no one noticed her. As she gradually walked to the middle of the hall, everyone gradually focused their gazes on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Oh my god? What does Yuan Yuan want? Don¡¯t tell me she wants to publicize it?¡± An Rao did not have time to bite the prawn in her mouth and looked at Xia Wanyuan in a daze.

    Xia Wanyuan gradually stepped forward in her high heels. The huge chandelier shone on her.

    She walked in the light, her beautiful face filled with arrogance and confidence. She clearly did not have a crown on her head, but it made people inexplicably feel that she was as noble as a queen.

    Everyone watched quietly as Xia Wanyuan walked to the main table.

    At that moment, the focus of the entire venue was on Xia Wanyuan.

    If anyone had paid any attention to Jun Shiling, they would have realized how colorful Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were and how gentle his expression was.

    Xia Wanyuan stood in front of Old Madam Wei and said, ¡°Grandma.¡±

    This ¡°grandma¡± was like a bomb that had been thrown into the water. Thousands of water droplets instantly exploded, and the hall was in an uproar.

    Old Madam Wei didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to do this.

    She did indeed want to publicize Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity, but the current situation was tooplicated. Such early exposure would put Xia Wanyuan under tremendous pressure.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and retracted her gaze.

    She knew what kind of situation she would be in.

    However, she had never been a flower hiding in the greenhouse. She wanted to have the right to stand beside Jun Shiling and not be criticized.

    On the tall building, she wanted to walk side by side with Jun Shiling.

    How well did Jun Shiling know her? With just a nce, he knew what Xia Wanyuan was thinking. He clenched his fists tightly.

    How could he not love such a radiant Xia Wanyuan?

 Chapter 851 - Official Announcement that Xia Wanyuan was a Wei Family Member

    <h4>Chapter 851: Official Announcement that Xia Wanyuan was a Wei Family Member</h4>

    Old Madam Wei was stunned for a moment, and admiration appeared in her eyes. She was really satisfied with Xia Wanyuan, who was not afraid of any pressure.

    Since she had already called her grandmother, Old Madam Wei did not n to hide it anymore. She stood up, pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, and faced everyone.

    ¡°Let me introduce to everyone. This is my granddaughter, Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    The hall was in an uproar. Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing gracefully beside Old Madam Wei, everyone discussed.

    ¡°Why does the Wei family have another granddaughter?!¡±

    ¡°I know this person. She¡¯s a little celebrity. This is too absurd. A little celebrity became a member of the Wei family in a sh?!¡±

    ¡°Ignoring everything else, she¡¯s really beautiful.¡±

    ¡°Come, Wanyuan,e with me to get to know everyone.¡± After Old Madam Wei announced, she got the butler to pour a ss of wine for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let¡¯s toast to today¡¯s guest, CEO Jun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her ss at Jun Shiling. ¡°To CEO Jun.¡±

    Everyone thought that someone with Jun Shiling¡¯s status would only nod to her. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would actually pick up the wine ss in front of him and drink it in one gulp?

    Even Old Madam Wei looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. After Jun Shiling finished his wine, he did not speak further. Old Madam Wei led Xia Wanyuan to introduce the guests at the main table.

    ¡°Alright, go back to the seat at the side.¡± Old Madam Wei put down her teacup.

    Only then did everyone realize that there was an empty seat at the table filled with juniors of the Wei family. It was probably prepared for Xia Wanyuan.

    There was a seat beside Yu Qian. Xia Wanyuan was not afraid of everyone¡¯s scrutiny and sat graciously on the stool.

    ¡°Let the banquet begin!¡± With the butler¡¯s announcement, the servants filed in with all sorts of tes. The rising heat and the fragrance of the food lingered in the entire hall.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, you¡¯re so beautiful today.¡± Yu Qian turned his head slightly, his eyes smiling.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored him, her gazending on a te of roast duck on the table.

    Yu Qian¡¯s gaze quickly swept across Xia Wanyuan, who had only revealed her side profile to him. She was like jade, as textured as snow, and hazy as an ink painting.

    For the first time, he felt that even without those ice-cold eyes, Xia Wanyuan was still shockingly beautiful.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯ve risen to fame. Let me tell you, a woman from a small family will never be able to climb to the top of the hall.¡± Wei Yu, who was sitting on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s left, had a ball of fire in her heart from the moment she saw Jun Shiling ept Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wine.

    <i>She was just an actress. Why should the Old Madam introduce her to everyone personally? Why was even a man like Jun Shiling willing to ept her wine?!?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had just picked up a piece of roasted duck with her chopsticks. Upon hearing this, her chopsticks paused for a moment. ¡°If you continue to be noisy, I dare to guarantee that you will eat an ugly meal today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was cold. Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan had sshed coffee just now, Wei Yu snorted and stopped talking.

    Yu Qian had also heard their conversation. He nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    When Wang Yuan, who was at thest table, saw the development of this matter, her eyes were about to fall. As the people beside her discussed, they asionally cast mocking gazes on her.

    She had just mocked Xia Wanyuan for never being able to be a phoenix. Now, not only was she a phoenix, but she was also the one shining in the phoenix pile.

    An Rao was also stunned. She pinched Bo Xiao¡¯s leg. ¡°When did Yuan Yuan be a member of the Wei family?¡±

    ¡°It hurts. Take your ws away.¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao angrily. Everyone was looking at the main table, except for Bo Xiao, who was peeling prawns for An Rao with his head lowered.

    ¡°How does it hurt? You¡¯re making a fuss.¡± An Rao snorted and removed her hand from Bo Xiao¡¯s leg.

    ¡°Eat.¡± Bo Xiao ced the prawns in An Rao¡¯s bowl and took off his gloves. He then took An Rao¡¯s hand and ced it on hisp. ¡°You can put it there, but you¡¯re not allowed to pinch me.¡±

    As she ate the fresh prawn meat, the corners of An Rao¡¯s lips curled up. Her fingers hooked on Bo Xiao¡¯s leg, causing Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes to narrow.

 Chapter 852 - Control the Crowd

    <h4>Chapter 852: Control the Crowd</h4>

    Other than An Rao, who was satisfied with eating under Bo Xiao¡¯s care, everyone else felt a little tasteless at this banquet.

    Especially the table of juniors where Xia Wanyuan was sitting at.

    Old Madam Wei had just announced a while ago that she was going to transfer her power to the next generation at the end of the year. Now that she had so openly acknowledged Xia Wanyuan, it was impossible not to think about it.

    Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan had just called her Grandma, so they were a little relieved.

    Old Madam Wei had three daughters, and her eldest and second daughters all had their husbands marry in. Hence, Wei Yu, Wei Yang, and the other juniors called Old Madam Wei ¡®Paternal Grandma¡¯. They were the direct descendants of the Wei family.

    And Xia Wanyuan, this maternal granddaughter, was ultimately separated by ayer.

    After the banquet, Jun Shiling was about to leave.

    ¡°Zimu, Wanyuan, follow me to send CEO Jun off.¡± Old Madam Wei supported herself with her walking stick and stood up with Jun Shiling.

    Wei Yu gritted her teeth as she watched from the side.?<i>Why shouldn¡¯t I send him?!! Who does Xia Wanyuan think she is?!?</i>

    Everyone had different thoughts. Jun Shiling had already walked out of the hall apanied by Old Madam Wei.

    ¡°Old Madam Wei, do stop here.¡± After leaving the courtyard, Jun Shiling turned and nodded at Old Madam Wei.

    ¡°CEO Jun, take care. Thank you for giving me face today, CEO Jun.¡± It was a very glorious thing for Old Madam Wei to have Jun Shiling attend the banquet personally.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly and nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing beside the Old Madam, before looking at Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian looked straight at Jun Shiling with a warm smile. Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes slightly.

    Their gazes met for only a moment. Jun Shiling retracted his gaze and turned to get into the car.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s car gradually disappear, a dark light shed across Yu Qian¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°CEO Jun is really a very outstanding person.¡± Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, Sister Wanyuan?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored him and stood beside Old Madam Wei. ¡°Do you need me to send the guests out?¡±

    Old Madam Wei looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing gracefully with a carefree aura, and an obvious smile appeared on her wrinkled face. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m tired too. I¡¯ll go back and rest first. I¡¯ll leave the matters inside to you and Zimu.¡±

    The butler supported the Old Madam and left. Xia Wanyuan tidied up the jewelry on her wrist and walked into the hall.

    After Xia Wanyuan came to the modern world, she did not like to participate in banquets. She found it noisy.

    However, that did not mean that she was not good at socializing.

    Be it in her previous life or current life, she had always been mediating in the whirlpool of power. The situation that she had learned in the Wei family a while ago and she also had been influenced by Jun Shiling for a long time.

    Through the actions of the people present and the information they revealed, Xia Wanyuan could basically guess their identities as ordinary people.

    Xia Wanyuan walked in the hall with a ss of wine and chatted with people from all walks of life.

    At first, when everyone saw the granddaughter that the Wei family had just acknowledgede to propose a toast, they could not say that they looked down on her, but they did not take Xia Wanyuan seriously.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to control the scene was too strong. When they spoke to her, even figures who had lived in the political world would easily be led to her rhythm.

    When the banquet ended, everyone would actuallye and bid farewell to Xia Wanyuan in unison.

    As Yu Qian sent the guest out, he looked at the calm and smiling Xia Wanyuan beside him. His gaze changed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really amazing.¡± An Rao and Bo Xiao were about to leave too. An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan with admiration. She had always known that Xia Wanyuan was very amazing, but every time she saw Xia Wanyuan control the entire scene with her own eyes, she would still exim in her heart.

    ¡°I brought you roastedmb leg and sent it to your house,¡± Xia Wanyuan whispered.

    ¡°Love you Sister, I¡¯ll go first.¡± Hearing that there was delicious food, An Rao was overjoyed and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister, Mr. Bo, take care.¡± An Lin hade over at some point and wanted to grab Yu Qian¡¯s arm. Yu Qian raised his hand and waved at the servants, avoiding her actions.

    An Rao looked at An Lin, who looked like she wanted to marry into a rich family, and was a little speechless. For the sake of Mother An, she wanted to remind her, but Bo Xiao pulled her away and did not even look at An Lin.

    ¡°Senior¡­¡± An Lin wanted to say that she wanted to send the guest away with Yu Qian, but she was interrupted by Yu Qian.

    ¡°You¡¯re not feeling well. Go and rest by the side first.¡±

    An Lin could only retreat to the side reluctantly and watch Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian send all the guests out of the courtyard.

    Yu Qian looked at the time. It was already midnight. ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw a familiar car slowly driving over.

    Yu Qian looked at the car in the distance and narrowed his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly. ¡°Okay, you¡¯ve worked hard. Rest well.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car. However, for the first time, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was still outside after she got into the car.

    ¡°This person is a little strange.¡± Jun Shiling frowned slightly.?<i>This Yu Qian actually made me feel a hint of danger. No one had ever made me feel this way.?</i>

 Chapter 853

    <h4>Chapter 853: First Meeting with the Beautiful Cousin</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the car and wanted to bend down to take off her shoes. After standing for the entire night, her feet were a little sore.

    Only then did Jun Shiling retract his gaze from Yu Qian and stop Xia Wanyuan. He ced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet on hisp and gently untied herces.

    In order to match the fishtail dress, the heels Xia Wanyuan was wearing today were thin and tall. After standing like this for four to five hours, there were some red marks on her ankles.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with heartache. He held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle and massaged it for her. ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree not to care about the Wei family for the time being?¡±

    ¡°It was an impulse.¡± Xia Wanyuan rxed and leaned back in her seat. ¡°So be it. Even if there¡¯s a problem, don¡¯t we still have you, CEO Jun?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay even if you make the Wei family bankrupt. I¡¯m your support. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. Her leg was being massaged by Jun Shiling, and she had been walking around the banquet hall at night. Xia Wanyuan was really tired, so she fell asleep not long after and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    Sensing the small weight on his shoulder, Jun Shiling turned his head and nced at her. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was so small that he could wrap it with his hand. However, such a small body contained such a huge energy.

    Jun Shiling adjusted his posture to make Xia Wanyuan lean morefortably, and his actions became lighter.

    The neon lights outside the window flickered. In the car, the gentle-eyed Jun Shiling nted a kiss on the sleeping Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Wei family had always kept a low profile and usually did not let their news appear in the eyes of the outside world.

    To the ordinary people, this banquet could not be seen at all. However, in the circle in Beijing, it caused a storm.

    Old Madam Wei¡¯s attitude towards her granddaughter, Xia Wanyuan, was really strange. Furthermore, everyone was even more surprised that this youngdy, who had never appeared in the capital¡¯s circle, could move freely between so many people.

    However, no matter what the outside world guessed, the Wei family fell silent and did not leak any news.

    After only ying outside for two days, Xia Wanyuan felt that everything had piled up again.

    The production team¡¯s matters hade to an end, but it was very busy in school. In order to snatch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s time, the director of the Arts and Literature departments fought enthusiastically in the office.

    In order not to be implicated by the department heads¡¯ argument, Xia Wanyuan took her lesson n and found a quiet garden to read and take notes.

    The morning sun was warm and dispersed the coldness of the autumn sun.

    After preparing for her morning sses, Xia Wanyuan closed her notebook, looked at the time, and called. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m in the little garden.¡±

    Not long after, footsteps came from afar. Xia Wanyuan looked up, her eyes shining.

    A woman in a sky-blue cheongsam was slowly walking over. The cheongsam was filled with orchids that outlined the woman¡¯s graceful figure.

    Her skin was like jade, and she seemed as light as the clouds.

    Like an orchid that had been enshrouded in the misty rain of Jiangnan for the entire season, it carried the gentleness of the south and unfolded a serene ink painting in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    The woman spoke softly with a hint of rity. ¡°Hello, cousin. I¡¯m Wei Jin.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good to see you.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the stone stool beside her. ¡°Sit for a while. You don¡¯t have sses now, right?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m ashamed to say this. I¡¯m not talented like you. I¡¯m only a lecturer now. I¡¯m new and haven¡¯t had many sses arranged.¡± Wei Jin spoke slowly like a gurgling mountain spring, making people rx and feelfortable.

    The way she looked at Xia Wanyuan had a hint of reverence and passion that was not excessive. She stood upright like a bamboo pine, and her every move had the style of a nobledy.

    Xia Wanyuan praised her in her heart. In the current era, a person like Wei Jin, who seemed to have walked out of an ancient book, could actually be raised. Even in her previous life, her temperament could only be raised by aristocrats.

    ¡°Is this your first time in Beijing? Are you used to it?¡± Perhaps because of her temperament, Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of Wei Jin and asked in concern.

    ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Wei Jin nodded, her eyes shining. ¡°I like the atmosphere of the Qing University very much.¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you stay in the Wei family¡¯s courtyard?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just learned of it. Wei Jin rejected Old Madam Wei¡¯s invitation and insisted on staying in school herself.

    ¡°My family has always been the one taking care of me. It¡¯s my first time working abroad, so I want to be more independent.¡± Wei Jin folded her hands on hisp and sat like a standard picture of a courtdy. ¡°There¡¯s still time. If you don¡¯t mind, my house is in school. You cane and have a cup of hot tea.¡±

    ¡°Another day. I have ssester.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time.?<i>It¡¯s time to go over.</i>?She looked at the clothes on Wei Jin. ¡°This dress, you look beautiful in it.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Cousin. This dress is beautiful to begin with.¡± Even though Wei Jin looked shy, she graciously allowed Xia Wanyuan to size her up. The set of clothes on her was the new model that Xia Wanyuan had designed for this season.

    ¡°This is my phone number. Anyway, we¡¯re colleagues now. If you have anything, you can look for me directly.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of Wei Jin.

    It was the first time she had met Xia Wanyuan. She was wearing a cheongsam that Xia Wanyuan had personally designed. This had already most clearly expressed her goodwill towards Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that Wei Jin was indeed worthy of being the woman Old Madam Wei had specially picked from the Wei family¡¯s headquarters toe to Beijing. She had truly disyed the words ¡°intelligent mind¡± to the fullest.

    ¡°Okay, cousin. Thank you.¡± Wei Jin took the note with both hands and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had already walked far away. Wei Jin took out her phone and recorded and saved the numbers one by one. Then, she folded the note and ced it in her bag.

    Looking at the time, Wei Jin took out a book from her bag and sat on the stone stool to read quietly.

    A gentle breeze blew past, only daring to lift a few strands of her hair, as if afraid of disturbing this picturesque scene.

    The bell rang and Xia Wanyuan walked into the ssroom.

    It was a little strange today. Yu Qian had actuallye to ss alone. An Lin, who had always sat beside him and wished she could stick to him every day, did note today. Xia Wanyuan nced at him from the corner of her eyes and continued with her ss as usual.

    Yu Qian flipped open the book and listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss seriously.

    Halfway through the lesson, Yu Qian¡¯s phone vibrated.

    Yu Qian picked it up and took a look. ¡°Senior, look, I¡¯m pregnant. What should I do?¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up into a smile as he replied to An Lin, ¡°Rest well and give birth.¡±

    Then, Yu Qian switched off his phone and continued to listen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss.

    While Xia Wanyuan was quietly attending sses, the news about her exploded again on the Inte.

 Chapter 854

    <h4>Chapter 854: Target of the Crowd</h4>

    While Xia Wanyuan was quietly attending sses, the news about her exploded again on the Inte.

    The cause of the incident was an interview video. When a reporter from a certain television station entered the mountains to collect poverty alleviation materials, he met a family who rushed up to kneel and beg him to help them.

    In the video, a silver-haired old man in ragged clothes was kowtowing to the reporter non-stop. His wrinkled face was covered in dust, and he kept shouting, ¡°Save us, save us.¡±

    The reporter helped the old man up. At that moment, the old man¡¯s son and wife entered the camera and cried loudly to let the country give them justice. ¡°There¡¯s really now. Oh my god!!! Our ancestors have lived in this house for so many years. Just because we wanted to make way for the factory, we were forcefully pushed away. Poor my parents are still living in the straw shed with us at the age of 80. Return my home!!!¡±

    The video camera changed. A thin old man was squatting by the corner and cooking porridge. Not far from the fire was a bed made of straw. In a small and simple cottage, arge family lived.

    This video quickly became popr on all the major websites. Theizens reposted the news and asked the local officials to give an exnation.

    Once the mes of anger were ignited, coupled with the media¡¯s fuel, the poprity of this matter soared. Countless people joined the team that denounced the entrepreneurs as heartless and the local management ck-hearted and corrupted.

    Some media outlets interviewed that resident overnight and learned about the factory that was currently being built. They wrote on the spot and posted it immediately, instantly pushing this piece of news that had already attracted tremendous attention up another step.

    ¡°ording to the reporter of this newspaper, the scene of the incident was in Dongshan Vige, which was filled with melons and fruits. The factory that upied this family¡¯s home belonged to the Xiafeng Corporation. The current chairman of the Xiafeng Corporation is the famous movie star, Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    The already extremely popr news coupled with Xia Wanyuan immediately blew up on Weibo by theizens.

    The few sour schrs and the media who had criticized Xia Wanyuan for leading the literary world astray had been silent for a few days before finally finding a breakthrough.

    ¡°As expected, she even dares to market herself and sell a million dors for a painting. What else can she not do? She¡¯s covered in a dirty copper stench. I don¡¯t understand what right she has to be a professor at Qing University.¡±

    ¡°@ Xia Wanyuan,e out and listen to the cries of the elders. When you slept in your luxurious house at night, didn¡¯t your conscience feel a little uneasy?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans did not believe that Xia Wanyuan was such a person. Furthermore, even if such a thing happened, as a chairman, Xia Wanyuan did not have the ability to control such a small factory under the corporation. Facing the overwhelming doubts and insults, the fans tried their best to exin for Xia Wanyuan.

    [ She¡¯s just the chairman and not the supervisor. You can say that she didn¡¯t manage it well, but isn¡¯t it too much to scold her for being heartless? ]

    [ Some news about eating human blood steamed buns have been spreading for a long time. I¡¯ve seen a lot of news reversals. Are you so anxious toe to a conclusion? ]

    However, on one side was the extremely beautiful and noble Xia Wanyuan, who lived in a luxurious house and drove a sports car worth tens of millions, and on the other was the pitiful old man with ragged clothes and a head of silver hair.

    People would not help but pity the weak. In addition, a group of brainless people who hated the rich mixed in to stir up everyone¡¯s emotions.

    In an instant, Xia Wanyuan became the target of everyone.

 Chapter 855

    <h4>Chapter 855: Truth Giving House</h4>

    Amidst themotion, there were angryizens, fake reviewers who took advantage of the situation, and passers-by who purely hated the rich. They attacked Xia Wanyuan wave after wave.

    The vegetables and fruits drinks under Xiafeng Corporation were originally popr because of their excellent quality and unique taste. Because of this matter, the entire Inte initiated an activity to boycott this drink.

    [ The thought of every cent I spent buying drinks is gone to smashing knives at these pitiful people makes me feel ashamed. ]

    [ Do you still remember how you stripped Xia Wanyuan of her family background? There were tens of millions of flowers in bottles at home. Every cent was sucked from the blood of the lower-ss people. Doesn¡¯t she feel ashamed? ]

    [ Is it wrong for her to be rich? Just because she¡¯s rich, you can convict her indiscriminately? ]

    This matter was extremely popr. Many news media also appeared to write various articles.

    ¡°Someone uses a vase that costs ten million dors but can¡¯t bear to spend a few thousand dors to give someone else a home.¡±

    ¡°In the capital era, how should entrepreneurs maintain their hearts?¡±

    The matter gradually fermented. From the moment the news broke at ten o¡¯clock in the morning until the stock market closed at half-past eleven at noon, the shares of the Xiafeng Group continued to fall, and their market value decreased by more than two billion dors in just an hour and a half.

    Xia Wanyuan had just left the ssroom after lesson when she saw the message from Shen Qian.

    Xia Wanyuan was not sensitive to the number of modern currencies, but looking at the number of more than two billion, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached a little. These were all actual money.

    Although Shen Qian was in Lin Xi, he quickly investigated the entire matter.

    ¡°CEO Xia, our factory over there ispletely done ording to the formal procedures. It was that family that did not ept the normal demolition price and demanded an increase of 7 million dors. Of course, we did not have such arge budget, that¡¯s why they went to the media.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan directly got Shen Qian to send her a copy of the local project.

    ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, CEO Xia. I couldn¡¯t stop the news before it fermented and caused such a huge loss.¡± Shen Qian was deeply afraid of letting Xia Wanyuan down.

    Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t have much of a reaction. After all, such an unexpected event wasn¡¯t something that the manager could predict.

    It was normal for businesses to have ups and downs.

    ¡°The loss is normal, as long as we can earn it back. Send someone to Dongshan tomunicate with the local management. I¡¯ll tell you after reading the blueprint.¡±

    ¡°Okay, CEO Xia.¡± Lin Xi¡¯s project was ending. Shen Qian didn¡¯t dare to leave for a moment, so he sent a trusted aide to Dongshan immediately.

    It was already lunchtime. Xia Wanyuan wanted to go back and eat, but just as she walked to the school gate, Director Li Heng called.

    It was currently a period of time to promote patriotic feelings. ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was also a drama with a theme to respect the martyrs of the revolution. In the drama, the university where the male lead, Chu Pingjiang, taught at was the predecessor of Qing University.

    Hence, the production team contacted the student union of Qing University and wanted to hold a publicity meeting at Qing University.

    The theme meaning of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was already very good. In addition, the male lead, Yan Ci, and the female lead, Xia Wanyuan, were extremely popr with the students. The Qing University immediately agreed to cooperate with the production team.

    Li Heng had called to inform Xia Wanyuan to stay for the publicity meeting after ss that night. Xia Wanyuan naturally had no objections.

    However, Jun Shiling had an opinion.

    ¡°You¡¯re not eating dinner with me and are going to see that Yan Ci?¡±

    ¡°¡­ What is with this main point that you caught? I¡¯m going to attend an event, not to see Yan Ci.¡± Xia Wanyuan was helpless.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°Wait for me at school and I¡¯ll pick you up for lunch.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll just eat casually. There¡¯s still ss in the afternoon.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. Jun Shiling would take too long to rush over.

    ¡°Alright, you won¡¯t apany me for dinner or lunch.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Come over, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan quicklypromised.

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan waited for Jun Shiling. However, when she got into the car, it did not drive out of the school but drove straight into the school.

    ¡°???¡±

    Seeing the confusion in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°You¡¯re too tired from eating out of school every day. I¡¯ve created a ce for you to rest in your school. In the future, if you have sses in the afternoon, sleep over there for an afternoon nap.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t unt your wealth. I just went bankrupt.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew how difficult it was to buy a house in Qing University.

    ¡°Why did you go bankrupt?¡± Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. He had been in a meeting in the morning and hade to pick Xia Wanyuan up after the meeting. He did not care much about the news on the Inte.

    Xia Wanyuan exined the matter briefly and didn¡¯t dare to show Jun Shiling some of thements on Weibo. She didn¡¯t care about those words, but she knew that if Jun Shiling saw them, this matter wouldn¡¯t be over.

    ¡°Show me the blueprint.¡± After hearing this, Jun Shiling took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone.

    After looking at it for a while, Jun Shiling returned the phone to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You already have an idea, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes, but the cost will increase.¡±

    The piece ofnd that was demolished was not only used to build a factory, but it was also equipped with a road that ran through the entire region. The family¡¯s address was coincidentally in the middle of the road. They had seen that the road would not take a detour, so they had to give them money. That was why they dared to make a scene.

    After all, if they wanted to redo everything that had been nned, the cost was too high.

    ¡°Change it. I¡¯ll lend you how much money youck. It¡¯s for half a year, at the market rate.¡± Jun Shiling looked rich.

    However, in fact, he was indeed rich. After all, in his eyes, the high new costs were nothing.

    ¡°You¡¯re unting your wealth in front of me. It¡¯s blinding.¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to close her eyes and was pressed down by Jun Shiling for a kiss.

    ¡°I¡¯ll collect some interest first.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling.

    The car drove around in a circle and entered a small courtyard. Xia Wanyuan found it familiar. ¡°This is beside Elder Zhong, right?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

    This lone building was quiet and not remote. Not far away was the school¡¯s library. However, because there was arge tree at the door, few people came here. It was extremely quiet.

    The small courtyard was filled with all sorts of flowers, and the house had already been renovated ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s preference.

    At the dining table, the fragrance of the hot food and soup wafted over. Xia Wanyuan took a breath and immediately felt hungry.

    The window opposite the dining table was wide open. A tall ginkgo tree hugged the small building, and golden leaves rustled down. The green bamboo was evergreen, and pots of blooming flowers danced with the wind.

    Sitting in such an environment to eat, Xia Wanyuan felt that her appetite had improved.

    Jun Shiling looked at her expression and knew that she liked this ce.

    Lin Jing, who had just left Qing University, wasmenting that he had been so busy that he had not even eaten lunch when he received a message from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Double your bonus this month.¡±

    Lin Jing adjusted his sses.<i>?There was no need to eat lunch if I served my boss wholeheartedly. Why should I eat lunch? No, I won¡¯t.?</i>

 Chapter 856

    <h4>Chapter 856: A Glimpse</h4>

    The publicity event for ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had already been announced on Weibo. As it was a publicity for the school, only university students in Beijing could participate.

    However, Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appeal was too strong. The promotional event began at seven o¡¯clock. At six o¡¯clock, there was already a sea of people in front of the big art building.

    Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a loud sound suddenly came from not far away.

    ¡°Damn, there are so many people.¡± Mu Feng held the steering wheel with one hand and looked up. He gradually slowed down.

    The originally crowded road forcefully made way for him.

    As the crowd gradually retreated, the people standing behind saw the arrogant person driving the sports car.

    The sports car slowly drove in. The man in the car had silver hair. His androgynous face revealed a few different charms in the evening sun. His nose was straight and his lips were bright. asionally, he would look up with azy and impatient look in his eyes.

    Only when Mu Feng parked the car and entered the hall did the crowd suddenly scream.

    ¡°Ahhh, he¡¯s so handsome!! Is he a celebrity!!¡±

    ¡°This is the famous Ghost Hand Mu Feng in the entertainment industry. Don¡¯t you know him? He¡¯s Xia Wanyuan¡¯s special makeup artist. I heard that he has a strange temper.¡±

    ¡°Who cares if he has a strange temper? As long as he¡¯s good-looking! I think he¡¯s even more handsome than many celebrities!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s discussion was left behind by Mu Feng. He strode backstage and raised his silver hair.

    ¡°Why do you still have to work at night? Can your production team abide by theborw?¡± Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with impatience, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were still filled with sleepiness.

    At this time, when he should have been preparing to start his nightlife and the lights were already waving at him, who would have thought that he would be called to this damn ce for makeup by Xia Wanyuan?

    He hated schrs the most in his life. It was fine if it was just Xia Wanyuan. After all, she was good-looking. He really felt ufortableing to a ce filled with schrs.

    ¡°It¡¯ll only take you half an hour.¡± The people beside him knew that Mu Feng had a strange temper and had long avoided him. Xia Wanyuan was not afraid andforted Mu Feng. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    ¡°This is considered overtime. It¡¯ll cost three times my sry.¡± Mu Feng took a tool from the side and helped Xia Wanyuan put on her makeup.

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and shook off the flowing light.

    Mu Feng nced at her.<i>?Forget it. Since there was a beauty smiling, I would work overtime.?</i>

    When Mu Feng was working, he was not as impatient as he usually was. He was very serious and efficient. Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s makeup was done.

    The other actors silently nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful face, then silently looked at their own faces, and finally at the makeup artist standing beside them.

    <i>Why is the difference between people so big?!?</i>

    ¡°Are you done? Missy? Can I leave now?¡± Mu Feng looked at the time. It was time for the meal.

    ¡°Bye, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at herself in the mirror in satisfaction.

    ¡°Remember to pay three times my sry. Goodbye.¡± Mu Feng picked up the windbreaker beside him, put it on as he walked, and strode out of the backstage.

    In school, before 12 o¡¯clock, it was extremely crowded everywhere. Mu Feng was used to driving at high speed. He was so angry that he stopped every three steps in the crowd.

    After finally seizing an opportunity to miss arge wave of people, Mu Feng turned the car into a small road on the side.

    However, after walking for a while, he realized that he was lost.

    ¡°F*ck! As expected, I shouldn¡¯t havee to this lousy school!¡± Mu Feng mmed on the brakes. ¡°I was born to sh with these ces!¡±

    Ever since he was young, Mu Feng had hated school and books. Ever since he became an adult, Mu Feng had avoided these ces. Every time he passed by the school, he wanted to stay eight hundred miles away.

    Mu Feng was an expert in the racing arena. He was the champion of the 400-speed race, but that was only limited to thepetition.

    Once he returned to the city, especially the school¡¯s winding roads, it was a nightmare for a top-notch racer like Mu Feng.

    He could never understand why they could make seven or eight small paths in a short three hundred meters.?<i>What were they doing? Walking through a maze??</i>

    A certain map was useless. Mu Feng circled around for a long time but could not find anything.

    ¡°What rubbish road? Is it for humans?¡± Mu Feng was furious that he had failed to break out of the encirclement again. He wanted to go to a ce with people to ask a student, but he did not expect a strand of silver hair to be wrapped around the seat behind his head.

    He moved and was instantly pulled. ¡°Hiss.¡± Mu Feng gasped.

    <i>I have to ask Xia Wanyuan for ten times my sry today.?</i>

    Mu Feng tried to pull it apart but could not. He could not see what was going on behind. He took out his phone and dialed a number.

    ¡°Hello, Brother Mu, why aren¡¯t you here yet?! We¡¯re waiting for you here!¡± The music on the phone was deafening.

    ¡°Come to Qing University. I¡¯ll reserve a spot for you. Hurry up and bring a pair of scissors.¡± Mu Feng was extremely frustrated.<i>?Today was really a bad day.?</i>

    ¡°Huh? Why do you need scissors? Qing University? Brother Mu, are you joking? Don¡¯t you hate that ce the most? Last time, I introduced you to a beauty in Qing University.¡±

    ¡°Stop arguing and get over here.¡± Mu Feng interrupted the other party. ¡°I¡¯ll send you a WeChat message.¡± Then, he hung up.

    ¡°Next time, even if you give me a hundred times my sry, I won¡¯te to this lousy ce anymore.¡± Since he couldn¡¯t pull his hair apart, Mu Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to struggle. He simplyy on the seat and looked at the stars.

    ¡°Sir, are you lost?¡±

    Suddenly, a gentle and clear voice came from behind. Mu Feng inexplicably felt that a cluster of orchids had bloomed around him with a fragrance.

    Mu Feng turned his head. His entangled hair restricted his movements, so Mu Feng could only give up. ¡°My hair is entangled.¡±

    ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go back and get a pair of scissors.¡± After saying this, the gentle female voice disappeared. If not for the gradually fading footsteps, Mu Feng would have suspected that he had bumped into the female ghosts in the chat house.

    Not long after, the footsteps returned.

    ¡°Hello, sir. Where are you entangled? Let me help you remove it.¡± This time, the woman walked in front of Mu Feng. Her gentle voice had a hint of coolness, and there was a dark orchid fragrance in her movements.

    Mu Feng turned around and was stunned.

    A woman in a cheongsam was holding a flowing cloud hairpin. Her dark eyebrows were light, and her eyes flickered as if they were filled with the rain of the entire Jiangnan. She had a polite and distant smile on her face. She stood as straight as pine bamboo and crossed her hands naturally in front of her.

    It was as beautiful as a painting, a painting that had walked out of ancient times.

    Mu Feng felt that she was so beautiful that she did not look human, but hisck of literary skills and the short circuit in his brain made him blurt out,

    ¡°Nie Xiaoqian??¡±

 Chapter 857

    <h4>Chapter 857: Proposal during the Greeting</h4>

    As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feng wanted to p himself.?<i>What nonsense am I talking about? Who used a female ghost to describe a beauty??</i>

    However, the woman in front of him had an extremely good upbringing and did not care about Mu Feng¡¯s offense. She was gentle and elegant. ¡°Sir, you must be joking. Please turn on your phone light. I¡¯ll help you remove your hair.¡±

    There was only a dim streetmp on the path that Mu Feng had turned into. It was impossible to see where Mu Feng¡¯s hair was wrapped.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Mu Feng said as he picked up his phone and felt for the shlight button.

    Then, he heard a soft cry from the woman beside him. Mu Feng turned around and was almost blinded by the strong light of the phone.

    He pressed the sh.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mu Feng hurriedly stood up. Then, the hair at the back of his head pulled him, and he instantly felt his scalp explode.

    The woman had a good temper. She rubbed her eyes that had been stimted by the strong light, and the faint smile on her face remained. Sheforted Mu Feng instead. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll be fine in a while. Sit properly.¡±

    For the first time, Mu Feng felt that he was too ashamed to face anyone. He sat down helplessly and only handed the phone over after turning on the shlight.

    Only then did the woman take the scissors and gently help Mu Feng tidy his hair that was entangled in the gap behind the seat.

    The evening breeze blew gently, bringing with it a faint fragrance. In the distance, there was the sound of students ending ss. However, in this quiet alley, only the moonlight flowed.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Not long after, a voice came from the side.

    Mu Feng tried to move and indeed, all his hair had been untied. Only then did Mu Feng turn around and look straight into the woman¡¯s watery eyes. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m sorry, I cut off some hair.¡± The woman held a few strands of silver hair in her hand.

    ¡°That¡¯s nothing. Thank you.¡± Mu Feng pushed his hair behind his shoulder. ¡°Where are you staying? It¡¯s sote. Let me send you.¡±

    ¡°No need. I was just beside you. I saw you looking for the way back and forth when I was hanging the clothes upstairs. I thought you might be lost, so I came down.¡± The woman¡¯s voice was light and gentle, like the first melting snow in the mountains. It was cold and refreshing.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t asked your name yet¡­¡± Before Mu Feng could finish speaking, his phone rang.

    Mu Feng pressed the answer button. Being in a nightclub for a long time, the venue was always a noisy ce, so Mu Feng had the habit of turning on the speaker. Hence, the call was connected.

    Amidst the mixed music, a deep male voice sounded.

    ¡°Brother Mu, where did you go with Fatty Liu? There are more than ten girls here waiting for you to pamper them.¡±

    ¡°Pa.¡± Mu Feng hung up and exined to the woman in front of him inexplicably, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. He¡¯s just high.¡±

    ¡°Sir, you don¡¯t have to exin to me.¡± The woman in front of him was as elegant as ever. She only took half a step back and pulled away from Mu Feng. ¡°Follow this path for two hundred meters and turn right. You can get out. It¡¯s not early anymore. I should go and rest. Goodbye, sir.¡±

    Mu Feng wanted to reach out and stop her to exin, but seeing how she avoided him, Mu Feng felt that he might be despised.

    ¡°Hey, but you haven¡¯t told me your name.¡± Mu Feng retracted his gaze and said softly.

    ¡°Brother Mu, I finally found you!! Aiyo, I feel like I¡¯m shing with a schr¡¯s ce too! I¡¯m so tired!¡±

    Mu Feng was about to start the car when a round and fair man ran over from the front with a huge pair of scissors in his hand. In the dark night, he looked like he had just run out of a murder scene.

    Mu Feng rolled his eyes. ¡°How did the guards let you in?¡±

    ¡°Damn, I¡¯m such a smart person.¡± Fatty Liu was smug. ¡°Brother Mu, why are you here?¡±

    Mu Feng felt that he was annoying and stepped on the elerator, preparing to shake him off. However, the road in the alley was too narrow. Fatty Liu opened the door and rolled to the front passenger seat with a smile on his face. ¡°Brother Mu, I was wrong. I¡¯ll treat youter. There are many beauties here today who are waiting for you.¡±

    Mu Feng looked at him in disdain and drove away ording to the woman¡¯s instructions.

    ¡°That¡¯s not right, Brother Mu. This isn¡¯t the way to the bar.¡± Fatty Liu sat on Mu Feng¡¯s car and felt that this direction was not right. He knew that Mu Feng was a road idiot. He thought that Mu Feng had gotten the wrong way.

    ¡°I want to go home. Get out of the car.¡± Finally reaching the road, Mu Feng suddenly sped up.

    ¡°Go home? Brother Mu? You¡¯re not going to the game tonight?¡± Fatty Liu was stunned. ¡°Why are you going home sote at night?¡±

    ¡°To read.¡±

    ¡°Ah?!¡± Fatty Liu felt that he was hallucinating.?<i>Was this the Brother Mu who had lit up the school building when he was young so that he could not go to school and was beaten up by Old Master Mu?</i>

    ¡°Get out of the car. Don¡¯t be an eyesore in front of me.¡± Mu Feng stepped on the brakes and chased him out.

    ¡°¡­¡± Fatty Liu covered his broken heart and watched Mu Feng¡¯s car disappear from his sight.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Qing University Hall, the audience had already entered and the production team was ready.

    ¡°Miss Xia, will you go to my senior brother¡¯s wedding?¡± Ever since the filming of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± waspleted, Yan Ci had never seen Xia Wanyuan again. Now that he saw her again, Yan Ci was very happy.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Yan Ci thought for a while and did not know what to say. ¡°Congrattions on winning the Go Master Competition.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Yan Ci had nothing to talk about anymore. He stood beside Xia Wanyuan in frustration, waiting to go on stage with her to promote.

    Following the host¡¯s voice and the deafening cheers of the audience, Yan Ci, Xia Wanyuan, and a few other main actors walked onto the stage.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a dark red cheongsam and Yan Ci, who was wearing a long robe and sses, appeared, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

    Everything was going ording to the established process, but when the fans went on stage to ask questions, something went wrong.

    The production team picked four fans from the audience and gave them a chance to ask their idol questions.

    One of the men wearing ck-rimmed sses knelt down on one knee to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Goddess, I especially like you. Will you marry me?¡±

 Chapter 858

    <h4>Chapter 858: Performing Archery in Public</h4>

    This sudden proposal scene instantly made everyoneugh.

    Such scenes had happened many times when fans chased after celebrities. Everyone treated it as a joke and the host hurriedly came out to mediate.

    However, the man pushed the host away and rushed towards Xia Wanyuan.

    No one present had expected him to do this. Yan Ci stood beside Xia Wanyuan and hurriedly stood in front of her.

    However, the man¡¯s eyes were gradually filled with madness. He knocked into Yan Ci and opened his arms to hug Xia Wanyuan.

    This man was tall and strong. Yan Ci staggered from the impact and lost his bnce, falling to the side.

    Unexpectedly, just as he was sent flying, Xia Wanyuan grabbed his arm.

    Then, Yan Ci watched helplessly as Xia Wanyuan kicked the 185-cm-tall man off the stage.

    The man smashed down. Even though there was a carpet on the ground, he still fell hard.

    ¡°Call the police.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the Student Union president.

    The president of the Student Union, who was frightened by this scene, hurriedly took out his phone and asked someone to call the school doctor over. After all, that person looked seriously injured.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Yan Ci smiled helplessly. ¡°I still have to let you protect me.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re wee.¡± Xia Wanyuan let go of Yan Ci¡¯s arm.

    Feeling the strength on his wrist disappear, Yan Ci moved his wrist unnaturally, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    Although there was an ident, the publicity event still had to continue.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s kick just now, everyone looked at the soft and weak Xia Wanyuan in a cheongsam and inexplicably looked forward to the all-powerful Qin Manyue she yed.

    ¡°Professor Xia, I especially like you. May I ask, do you do it on your own, if you have any fighting scenes during filming?¡± The event gradually reached thest exchange segment. A student saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s flying kick and was curious if she had learned martial arts.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Wow!¡± Everyone cheered.

    ¡°In thest ¡°The Long Bad¡±, did you film the scene of the Heavenly Spirit Princess riding a horse and shooting arrows yourself?¡± A student asked.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Another cheer sounded.

    ¡°Then can you demonstrate it to us on the spot?¡± Someone in the audience cheered, and the others echoed, ¡°Do it! Do it!¡±

    Seeing how lively the atmosphere was, the production team was tempted. ¡°Wanyuan, look, why don¡¯t we give everyone a performance to wrap up?¡±

    ¡°No problem, but¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan looked down at her cheongsam.<i>?This was not suitable for especially difficult actions.?</i>

    ¡°Last time when you were filming, I heard from you that you did it yourself when you were filming a period drama and archery. I saw that the sports center was beside us. I¡¯ll get someone to borrow some equipment for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan agreed without any objections. Yan Ci looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know this. You¡¯re amazing.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly and epted Yan Ci¡¯s praise.

    ¡°Is it difficult to learn how to shoot?¡± While the other actors were performing on stage, Yan Ci asked Xia Wanyuan another question.

    ¡°Depends on the individual.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Once again, the topic was ended. Yan Ci wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing coldly at the side, and finally chose to shut up.

    Not long after, the production team arrived with all sorts of equipment.

    The staff looked at the distance from left to right in the hall. It seemed a little too far, and he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would not be able toplete it. ¡°Professor Xia, is this distance okay? Can you shoot the target?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the length of less than fifty meters. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Since Xia Wanyuan had agreed, the staff ced the target on the door frame on the left side of the auditorium. Xia Wanyuan carried her bow and arrow and walked down the stage.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s just stand in the middle for entertainment, okay?¡± The host looked at Xia Wanyuan, whose arm was as thick as a crossbow, and felt a little guilty.

    Xia Wanyuan was a very precious person now. If anything happened, they could not bear the responsibility.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was as calm as ever.

    Xia Wanyuan did not take the host¡¯s out, so the host could not say anything more.

    However, seeing Xia Wanyuan walk further and further away from the target, the host felt that the arrow would probably fall before it reached halfway.

    ¡°Our Wanyuan is not a professional after all. Entertainment is the main thing, entertainment is the main thing. Everyone, p and encourage our Wanyuan. Let her not be nervous, okay?¡±

    Under the lead of the host, everyone apuded and cheered for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°All the best, goddess!¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing, goddess. Don¡¯t be nervous. It¡¯s just entertainment!¡±

    Surrounded by everyone¡¯s apuse, Xia Wanyuan walked to the rightmost side of the aisle in her high heels.

    Contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations, not only did Xia Wanyuan not look nervous at all, she did not even pose and directly drew her bow and arrow.

    Before anyone could react, a stream of light shed past.

    The next second, an arrow hit the bullseye on the opposite target.

 Chapter 859

    <h4>Chapter 859: A Martial Artist Falling Out of Love</h4>

    The host, who had been asking everyone to understand that Xia Wanyuan was a newbie and not to have too much expectations, looked at the arrow that hit the bullseye and fell silent.

    The audience was also silent for a moment before bursting into loud cheers.

    The host finally found his voice. ¡°Wow! Our Wanyuan is indeed very amazing! That¡¯s great. Can everyone p and encourage her!!!¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, the venue burst into enthusiastic apuse.

    Yan Ci stood at the side and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was holding a bow and arrow in the distance.

    The cheongsam with gold and phoenix patterns entuated her figure. Her slender waist made her look even more slender. She held the bow in her jade-like hand and narrowed her phoenix eyes when she released the arrow. She had a domineering aura that looked down on the world.

    It was unbelievable that such a slender and weak body could explode with such huge energy.

    There were a total of ten arrows in the quiver beside Xia Wanyuan. Before everyone could stop cheering, Xia Wanyuan had already drawn her bow and shot one arrow after another.

    The arrows hit the bull¡¯s eye.

    The cheers in the venue became louder and louder, and the atmosphere was stirred.

    There were still three arrows left in the quiver. Xia Wanyuan reached out and nocked the three arrows together.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, the cheers in the venue gradually subsided. Everyone watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions in a daze.

    ¡°Wow, is she shooting them together??¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s amazing!!! I feel like I¡¯m reading a martial arts novel!¡±

    Everyone had often seen such a scene in novels, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. Seeing Xia Wanyuan begin to draw the bow, everyone held their breaths.

    Everyone was nervous.

    The calmest person present was Xia Wanyuan instead.

    Drawing the bow and shooting the arrow was something that she was too familiar with. She was so familiar with it that her actions had a naturalziness and carefreeness.

    It was as if she did not use any strength at all. She just pulled gently with her fingers, and the tip of the arrow spun and tore through the air.

    The three separated arrows did not disperse during the flight. Instead, they surrounded the bullseye.

    The cheers almost overturned the entire venue. Even the production team was stunned.

    Xia Wanyuan used this exciting performance to perfectly wrap up the publicity event. The director looked at Xia Wanyuan with joy and happily asked the main cast to end the publicity early and give them a break.

    There was still thest lucky draw segment in the hall. Compared to themotion inside, it was very quiet outside. Xia Wanyuan walked out with a group of actors in cheongsams.

    Yan Ci took off his suit jacket and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, it¡¯s cold at night. Put on a jacket.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. ¡°No, thank you.¡±

    However, thete autumn night was indeed cold. A gust of evening wind blew, and Xia Wanyuan sneezed from the cold.

    Yan Ci¡¯s eyes flickered and he was about to hand the suit over again.

    ¡°There¡¯s really no need. Thank you. I¡¯ll get going first. Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed away the coat Yan Ci handed her and ran forward quickly. A car drove over and Xia Wanyuan got in.

    The night breeze was slightly cold. Yan Ci, who was standing under the streetmp, was as tall as jade. Seeing that he had been standing on the spot, the others called out to him, ¡°Yan Ci, why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±

    Only then did Yan Ci seem to have returned to his senses. He tightened his grip on his coat. ¡°I¡¯m leaving now.¡±

    Then, Yan Ci turned around and clenched his jacket.

    He had clearly seen a hand reach out from the car and help Xia Wanyuan in.

    That hand was wearing a watch with tightly buttoned sleeves. It was a man¡¯s hand.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan has a boyfriend?</i>

    In the car, Xia Wanyuan, who was covered in goosebumps, was pulled into the car by Jun Shiling. She consciously hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and leaned into his arms for warmth.

    Jun Shiling reached out to touch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold arm and pulled the nket over her legs.

    Then, he unbuttoned his suit jacket and wrapped it around Xia Wanyuan.

    The cold scent on Jun Shiling¡¯s body brought with it a warm warmth that surrounded Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan calmed down for a while and finally felt her limbs begin to warm up.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte.¡± Jun Shiling could not hide the heartache in his eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault. We left early.¡± Xia Wanyuan snuggled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, thinking that it was best to stay here.

    By the time they were about to return home, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body temperature had already been warmed up.

    Only then did Jun Shiling notice Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outfit today. The exquisite floral buckle extended from her neck to her waist. The design of the wide slit skirt revealed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jade-like thighs.

    When the car arrived at the manor, Jun Shiling wrapped Xia Wanyuan in a nket and carried her into the bedroom. However, after cing Xia Wanyuan on the bed, Jun Shiling did not leave.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, which had been warming Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet, had gradually moved up.

    ¡°You caught a cold today.¡±

    ¡°So?¡± Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling angrily. Seeing the familiar mes in his eyes, she could guess what Jun Shiling wanted to do.

    ¡°So you have to exercise to drive away the cold.¡± Jun Shiling looked serious, but the hand hidden under the nket had already unbuttoned half of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shirt.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s reasons were really too much.

    On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, the news of her sending her fan to the hospital had already taken advantage of the poprity of the beverage factory to sweep through social media again.

 Chapter 860

    <h4>Chapter 860: Movie King Protecting the Princess Truth</h4>

    Although the production team had a rule that the publicity was only for university students in Beijing, to the paparazzi, they only needed to spend a few hundred yuan to buy tickets to enter.

    As early as when Xia Wanyuan kicked the man off the stage, the paparazzi had already sent the video back to thepany.

    For most entertainment industry ounts, poprity was everything.

    As for whether to spread rumors or not? Deleting the video and posting an apology on the channel did not cost much.

    Hence, the marketing ounts edited it slightly, and the video became, after the host finished speaking, he found a few fans to interact with the celebrities. The next second, the man was kicked down by Xia Wanyuan. Beside him, a university student screamed, ¡°She hit someone!¡±

    Because the factory had invaded the farnd and her home, Xia Wanyuan was at the center of attention. Many passers-by were filled with hostility towards her.

    They scolded her for being a ruthless entrepreneur and thought that she had no conscience. She casually invaded other people¡¯s homes and relied on exploiting others to umte wealth.

    When this video was released, everyone scolded her even more fiercely.

    [I can¡¯t see what happened, but isn¡¯t hitting the fans a little too much?]

    [What did he do? It hurts to see him being beaten up like this. Is Xia Wanyuan really doing evil because she has money?]

    [ Can money cover the sky? Just because she has money, can she invade other people¡¯s fields and homes and hit people in public? ]

    The marketing ounts took advantage of the one hour gap between Xia Wanyuan kicking down her fans and the end of the publicity event to smoothly push this matter onto the trending list. In addition, with people from all sides adding fuel to the fire, the news was fully spread.

    After the publicity event ended, the production team finally had the time and energy to deal with this matter.

    However, at this moment, the matter had already spread very widely.

    The production team could only y the surveince video to rify to the public.

    However, once they spread rumors, they would break their legs.

    Even though there were fans constantly reposting the production team¡¯s rification on Weibo, this Weibo post seemed to have been blocked by someone. Its poprity was repeatedly lowered and could not appear in front of the public at all.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, I¡¯m afraid the shares of the Xiafeng Group will fall to the bottom this time.¡±

    In Glory World Corporation, looking at the public opinion on the Inte, Xuan Li spun the cup on the table in satisfaction.

    Xia Wanyuan had agreed to cooperate with him on the surface, but she had yed tricks behind his back and transferred the core project.

    A dark glint shed across Xuan Li¡¯s eyes.?<i>This little girl yed tricks on me. This time, I¡¯ll make her go bankrupt.?</i>

    ¡°Stabilize that family and don¡¯t let them betray us.¡±

    ¡°Yes, CEO Xuan.¡±

    After receiving Xuan Li¡¯s instructions, the assistant continued to spread negative news about Xia Wanyuan.

    When the market opened the next day, the shares of the Xiafeng Group were still falling violently. Arge number of shareholders began to sell thepany¡¯s shares.

    Among the various fake reviewers and marketing ounts, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various achievements seemed to be ignored.

    Everyone repeated the cries of the poor, using Xia Wanyuan of being inhumane as an entrepreneur. There were even media outlets who went to interview the fan who had been kicked to the ground by Xia Wanyuan.

    The fan faced the camera and fervently expressed his love for Xia Wanyuan, saying that she did not care what Xia Wanyuan had done to him. He would always like Xia Wanyuan.

    [I just want to ask if Xia Wanyuan will feel ashamed when she sees this video. Her fan likes her so much, but he was beaten up by his idol.]

    [Brother, please like someone else. This person can¡¯t do it.]

    [You Inte rioters who are led by the nose and have no opinions at all. You don¡¯t want to believe the crew¡¯s rification, but you believe the marketing ount¡¯s words without a doubt. Pui!]

    Just as the passers-by and fans were arguing, Yan Ci¡¯s Weibo post finally trended.

    Yan Ci was indeed the top male celebrity in the entertainment industry.

    No matter how much money Glory World Corporation invested, it could not suppress his poprity.

    @ Yan Ci: ¡°This person proposed to @ Xia Wanyuan on stage and pushed the host away. Furthermore, he kicked me like this because I protected Xia Wanyuan and he wanted to hug her in public. This is not a fan. This is the harassment of a viin. Thank you for pulling me, Xia Wanyuan. Otherwise, I might be lying in the hospital today.¡±

    Yan Ci¡¯s apanying photo was a photo of a severely bruised calf.

    This picture instantly ignited the anger of Yan Ci¡¯s fans.

    <i>The husband we held in our hearts and could not bear to bump into was actually kicked to such an extent?!!! And we were actually treated as fools for so long and even spoke up for the person who hit our husband?!</i>

    It turned out that the fans of top male celebrities were a mysterious force on the Inte.

    In the long-term battle with the fans, everyone had umted a dragon of rification experience.

    Everyone gathered together.

    They kept reposting the rification on Weibo, produced videos to poprize, dug deep into the truth, found witnesses, and artificially heated up the poprity of the production team¡¯s Weibo.

    Through the pervasive knowledge of fans from all walks of life, the truth was quickly revealed to everyone.

    [F*ck, I was tricked by the marketing ount again. Can you control these marketing ounts and not let them spread rumors at zero cost?]

    [Hehe, it¡¯s more reliable for you to control your intelligence.]

    [This kind of scum should be killed on the spot. How wretched. This is considered harassment, right?]

    The winds on the Inte began to turn for the better.

    Yan Ci, who had watched the entire process, silently liked his fans.

    ¡°Best Actor Yan, thepany has repeatedly warned us not to get involved in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s matters. Why did you post on Weibo while you were in the bathroom?!¡± The manager was about to break down. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current situation was a mess. Whoever got involved was unlucky.

    The rification was done, but Yan Ci¡¯s good reputation for so many years would probably be tainted by helping Xia Wanyuan, this unscrupulous entrepreneur.

    Just as the manager finished speaking, Yan Ci¡¯spany called. The manager weed the leaders¡¯ anger with a bitter expression.

    There was no change in Yan Ci¡¯s exquisite face.

    Even if he put aside the fact that he had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan, he should step forward.

    After all, he was a man.

 Chapter 861

    <h4>Chapter 861: Retaliation!</h4>

    The anger that had boiled overnight on the Inte did not affect Xia Wanyuan at all.

    Xia Wanyuan, who only used her phone as a contact tool, could not be bothered to read the news for no reason. Besides, she did not have time to read the newsst night.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was very tired, her regr biological clock still woke her up on time.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes. The weather outside was very good. The golden ginkgo leaves swirled towards the house, then hit the ss window and gently fell onto the balcony.

    Xia Wanyuan turned over and took a deep breath.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms and ced his chin by her ear. His warm breathnded on her neck, causing goosebumps.

    ¡°My waist hurts.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted. After some thought, she kicked Jun Shiling again.

    The breathing in her ear intensified, and Jun Shiling¡¯s chuckle entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Your health is too bad. I¡¯m not full.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Get up. I already said I don¡¯t want it, yet you¡¯re still here. Liar.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kept moving in his arms. Wisps of fragrance and heat entered his nose. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart stirred and he flipped over to press her down. ¡°I love you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked her eyes that had just melted. Her long eyshes fluttered, leaving a row of small fans on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t be angry with you just because you said that.¡±

    ¡°I love you even if you¡¯re angry at me.¡± Jun Shiling smiled, his eyes gently weaving a that enveloped Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll reward you with a small gift,¡± Xia Wanyuan said, her eyes sparkling as she leaned forward and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s smile widened. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

    The two of them slept under the warm nket for almost half an hour before getting up.

    Downstairs, Xiao Bao had already obedientlypleted his morning reading. He was wearing a golden SpongeBob sweater and looked tender. Seeing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had finallye down to eat, Xiao Bao stroked his cheek twice. ¡°Daddy iszy in bed. Daddy is naughty.¡±

    As for Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao felt that Mommy had worked hard and should bezy in bed.

    Receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s freezing attack, Xiao Bao grinned at him and skipped to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side for protection.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Seeing that the poprity of the mountain people¡¯s homes was decreasing, the media released another video.

    In the video, a ragged old man was holding a banner that said, ¡°If you want to break into my home, step over my corpse first.¡±

    Theizens put themselves in his shoes. If their home was invaded for no reason, they would probably be even more extreme than this family.

    [Sigh, that¡¯s too sad. That¡¯s a ce where their ancestors have lived for hundreds of years. They dug it up just like that. Is it true that people with power and authority can cover the sky with one hand?]

    [I¡¯m so angry. Where is their house? I want to donate something to them. They look so pitiful.]

    As this video fermented, a foreign video also became popr.

    In a foreign video news, America chose to take a detour when building a road to protect a tree with a huge nest and many birds.

    [The manager of Dongshan City is heartless. The Xiafeng Group disregarded human lives for money. This is the magical China.]

    [Look at them, then look at our country. Hehe, those who understand naturally understand.]

    [The person in front, what exactly do you mean? You¡¯re so sarcastic. You really start ming the manager whenever something happens, or me the country. Is it really that the moon is rounder in foreign countries?]

    Where there was disagreement, there was endless argument. When theizens began to argue again,

    The Xiafeng Group and the Dongshan City officials posted a Weibo at the same time.

    @ Xiafeng Group: ¡°All the procedures for the beverage factory under our corporation are legal. The address of the factory and the relevant demolition fees are as follows.¡±

    Among the 78 vigers involved, only Huang¡¯s family did not agree to thepensation amount. As for the nine million yuan in cashpensation, mypany felt that it was unreasonable and chose to give up on cooperation.¡±

    @ Dongshan City Official: ¡°Thank you for society¡¯s attention on Dongshan City. After the incident, we ced great importance on it and organized people to investigate the situation overnight. The fields and houses of the viger, Huang, were intact. We didn¡¯t take any forceful measures.

    As for the demolished houses and fields that appeared in the video, they belonged to Huang, who had already epted the demolitionpensation.

    We have always prioritized people. Since the viger Huang has decided not to move, after discussion, we will change the road route.

    The chairman of the Xiafeng Group, Xia Wanyuan, expressed her willingness to donate to bear the additional construction costs. We are very grateful.

    The road to poverty is long and arduous. Your arrival is the hope of the people of Dongshan who have been sealed in the mountains for generations. @ Xiafeng Group @ Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Official Weibo ounts were usually more formal and rarely revealed emotions.

    On the other hand, the official Weibo post from Dongshan City was filled with sincerity and gratitude, causing theizens to be stunned.

 Chapter 862 - Truth Exposed, Touching the Nation

    <h4>Chapter 862: Truth Exposed, Touching the Nation</h4>

    Although theizens had been angry for so long, no one was willing to understand what kind of ce Dongshan was. They only knew that the family had been invaded by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Xiafeng Corporation.

    When they saw the words ¡°poor province¡± on Dongshan¡¯s official Weibo, everyone realized that Dongshan was an especially poor ce.

    There were many local reports on Dongshan¡¯s official Weibo.

    Everyone finally had a little understanding of this town sealed in the mountains.

    It was clearly not far from the sea, and the climate, soil, and environment were all very good. However, because of the mountains, no matter how good the products of Dongshan were, it was difficult to transport them on arge scale.

    The cost of repairing the road was high, and the local management did not have the money for it at all. As a result, generation after generation became poorer, and in the end, it became a ce that no one was willing to manage.

    Seeing this, most people sympathized with this ce, but some people jumped out and thought that the Dongshan officials were cooperating with Xia Wanyuan to clear her name.

    [Hehe, I¡¯ve seen too much of this. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve already dealt with the family, right? Now, with an official statement, you can directly cover up the matter, right?]

    [The person in front, you¡¯re smarter. Young people nowadays are so stupid. Do they really think it¡¯s that simple? Which entrepreneur isn¡¯t doing it for benefits? Xia Wanyuan went crazy and went to the mountains to build a factory for others? What does she want? She¡¯s putting on a show.]

    [ The people in front, have your brains been stepped on by pigs? Anyway, the country can¡¯t be trusted, and the officials can¡¯t be trusted. Whatever Xia Wanyuan does is just for show, right? A group of keyboard warriors typing at home to guide the country? Disgusting. ]

    Although there were many controversies, more and more voices began to appear.

    Those Weibo posts that had been lowered and buried were also found one by one.

    Aizen named ¡°Happy Little Sweet Potato¡± had been speaking up for Xia Wanyuan on Weibo ever since the news was exposed. However, he had little words and no fans.

    Although she had already posted more than twenty Weibo posts, there was not much attention. The onlyments were still scolding her for being hired by Xia Wanyuan.

    From ¡°Happy Little Sweet Potato¡±¡®s Weibo, everyone saw some videos that were closer to Dongshan.

    Happy Little Melon was the only university student who had sessfully walked out of the Dongshan in so many years. Following her perspective, everyone saw the Dongshan surrounded by mountains, the poor vigers, and the mountains filled with fruits.

    @ Happy sweet potato: ¡°In order to sell more money, my aunt often pushed small carts with her husband to transport the fruits out of the mountain. Then, they set off from Dongshan overnight and rushed to Beijing to sell them.

    Every summer, they spent it picking and shipping.

    Aunt met Xia Wanyuan at the entrance of the production team. Xia Wanyuan took good care of her business and would buy her melons every day and give her more money.

    You can¡¯t imagine how isted our ce was before Xia Wanyuan came.

    It was Xia Wanyuan who brought the funds to Dongshan. If not for her, the road would not have been repaired to our doorstep. If not for her, my aunt would still be rushing for days and nights because of the difference in price.

    That Huang family was originally the vige chief of our Dongshan. It was because he had been takingmissions for our melons for a long time that the price there was especially low.

    It was precisely because Xia Wanyuan had let everyone earn money that he could not get a rebate. He held a grudge and was too greedy. He asked the officials for apensation of nine million yuan. After being rejected, he looked for the media and distorted the truth.

    I really can¡¯t understand why the marketing ounts can be so vicious. You have no idea that if the Xiafeng Group withdraws its investment because of this public opinion, my hometown will fall into a poor and isted situation again.¡±

    Under this Weibo post, there was a video of ¡°Happy Little Sweet Potato¡± visiting the vigers of Dongshan.

    In the video, although they could not understand the dialect of the old people of Dongshan Vige, when the little sweet potato ced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo in front of them, the old people excitedly raised their thumbs.

    The young people of Dongshan were even more grateful when they spoke of Xia Wanyuan.

    Who did not want a job close to home where they could take care of their family and earn money?

    However, Dongshan was really too poor. They were so poor that they could not support their families at all. They could only leave their hometowns and sleep in a ce that did not belong to them in a big city filled with debauchery. They worked hard to earn a few thousand yuan.

    However, with the establishment of the Summer Wind Corporation¡¯s factory and a series of supportingpany factories, the young people who had left their hometowns could finally go home to support their parents and take care of their wives and children.

    ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to the officials and Xia Wanyuan. I can stay at home and apany my daughter to school. I don¡¯t have to go so far to work.¡±

    ¡°In the past, I only earned 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year working outside. This year, it¡¯s only been a quarter, but I¡¯ve already earned 40,000 to 50,000 yuan from working with the audio factory. This was something I didn¡¯t even dare to think about in the past.¡±

    The little sweet potato asked the vigers randomly. Under the camera, everyone was shy, but their eyes were bright. They were looking forward to a good life in the future.

    The little sweet potato even went to ask the local official leader. The leader looked very pleased with himself and happily brought the little sweet potato to the construction site to see the project they were building.

    ¡°Look, after the highway is built, the beverage factory will also be built. We¡¯ll drive the local agriculture first. After it¡¯s done, we¡¯ll also prepare to develop tourism and drive the local industry.

    The new school has also been built this year. In the past, no teachers came. Now that Xia Wanyuan has donated money and the treatment of teachers has improved, there are people who are willing toe. The students here no longer have to walk dozens of miles to school.¡±

    Looking at the simple but smiling faces in the video and listening to everyone¡¯s yearning for a good life in the future,

    Theizens fell silent.

    Everyone spontaneously deleted the video that had been crazily reposted to help the Huang family seek justice. Instead, they all started to apologize under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    [I apologize for scolding Xia Wanyuan. I was blind.]

    [I¡¯m really sorry. It¡¯s too ridiculous. I thought I was on the side of justice, but I didn¡¯t expect myself to be a clown who ndered good people.]

    [ Sob sob sob sob sob sob, our Yuan Yuan is really good. Dongshan used to be so poor that no one was willing to go. Yuan Yuan really brought light and hope to the people there. ]

    [Let¡¯s not talk too much. I¡¯ve already reserved ten boxes of drinks from the Xiafeng Group. If I can¡¯t finish them, I¡¯ll send them to my rtives.]

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, the sales of drinks in the Xiafeng Group had stopped because of this storm.

    When the truth was exposed, everyone was willing to contribute to Dongshan¡¯s poverty alleviation.

    The order for drinks in the Xiafeng Group doubled, recing the original market leader and upying thergest market share.

 Chapter 863 - Serves the Wicked One Right

    <h4>Chapter 863: Serves the Wicked One Right</h4>

    The number of orders had increased, and even the shares of the Xiafeng Group were rising. What was originally a blow that could destroy the entire corporation had be a turning point.

    When a rumor had a breakthrough, more and more truths began to be exposed. Many truths that had been buried under anger surfaced one by one.

    After the vigers of East Mountain heard about this, even if they did not know how to use their phones, they still wanted their children to take photos of their family and upload them online for everyone to see.

    Only then did everyone know that Vige Chief Huang and his family did not live in a thatched house at all.

    It was clearly an extremely poor vige, but Vige Chief Huang¡¯s family lived in a two-story building. They had all the furniture and could be said to be the best people in the area.

    As for that straw hut, it was indeed theirs.

    In the first video, the two old men who appeared were living in the straw hut.

    The vigers of East Mountain told theizens that the two old men were actually Vige Chief Huang¡¯s parents.

    [ The real heartlessness is actually here!! They live in such a big house, but their parents live in the cowshed. Pui! ]

    [ F*ck, is there still any humanity? Those two old people are already so old, but they still have to work with their son to act and kneel down . What kind of trash is this Huang? ]

    [I saw many people from Dongshane out to testify. You didn¡¯t see how Vige Chief Huang, who pretended to be pitiful in the video, scolded his parents. This person is really too despicable.]

    In the local area, after everyone found out about Vige Chief Huang, the vigers hated him for cutting off everyone¡¯s ie.

    Every morning, when the Huang family opened the door, there was all kinds of trash at the door. The courtyard was also filled with all kinds of feces. No matter how they scolded, no one came out to im it. As long as they were not careful, a pile of human and animal feces would be thrown at the house.

    Huang¡¯s family had a bad reputation in the surrounding viges. No matter where they went, they would be criticized.

    When Vige Chief Huang learned that the Dongshan officials were going to change the road route, he panicked.

    He did have some knowledge. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have known to expose it to the media.

    To the mountains, the highway was a line of wealth. If there was a highway, there would be factories around it and all kinds of infrastructure. As long as one did a small business, it would earn money.

    Changing the highway was equivalent to not being able to enjoy the benefits of being an official.

    Vige Chief Huang hurriedly brought people to the official building to express his willingness to ept the previouspensation price. He definitely had no objections.

    When the official leader heard about this, he, who had always been calm in front of his subordinates, rolled his eyes. ¡°Let him make a fuss. Tell him that we can¡¯t afford to pay nine million.¡±

    The official staff looked at the regretful Vige Chief Huang and felt relieved.

    Although the truth was out, they had really suffered for two days.

    Not to mention the various questions and criticisms from the higher-ups, just the phone calls from the official building were blown up by angryizens. They listened to all kinds of obscenities for two days. There were evenizens who bought all kinds of coffin wreaths from the Inte and sent them here to curse them.

    All of this was brought to them by this Vige Chief Huang¡¯s greed. Now that they saw him down on his luck, everyone was overjoyed.

    <i>Serves you right!!</i>

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s problem had finally been resolved, the insults and abuse online were once again covered by praise. Yan Ci, who had been paying attention to this matter, was finally relieved.

    He kept scrolling through the contact list on his phone. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number was on it.

    Moving his wrist, Yan Ci felt that it still had the touch of Xia Wanyuan pulling him. Thinking of the scene of him being protected by Xia Wanyuan, a smile appeared on Yan Ci¡¯s face. In the end, he pressed the phone.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan quickly picked up the phone.

    ¡°Hello, Wanyuan, this is Yan Ci. I called to ask if you¡¯re okay. I see that thements online are starting to improve.¡± It was rare for Yan Ci to be a little nervous. He said the conversation he had rehearsed hundreds of times in his heart.

    ¡°Pretty good. Thank you for your concern.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was as cold as ever.

    Yan Ci did not know what to say. At that moment, a deep male voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°Tea or coffee?¡±

    The voice was extremely close to the phone. Yan Ci could imagine how close the two of them were.

    ¡°I¡¯m relieved to see you fine. I still have something on, so I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could reply, Yan Ci hung up.

    Thinking of the arm that had helped Xia Wanyuan into the car that day, Yan Ci thought in disappointment that Xia Wanyuan seemed to really have a boyfriend.

    On the other side, hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°Tea or coffee?¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t I ask you what you want to drink?¡± Jun Shiling sat at the side with a cup of tea.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely drank coffee and had always drunk tea. Jun Shiling knew this better than anyone.

    ¡°Happy?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Jun Shiling had an obvious smile on his face. Anyone would be happy to kill a love rival with just one sentence.

    ¡°Just send me to the door.¡± Recently, there had been many major events in the Qing University. Xia Wanyuan was extremely busy and had to stay in school almost every day.

    When the car arrived at the Qing University entrance, Jun Shiling saw an unexpected person.

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly and told the driver to drive over.

 Chapter 864 - Is Our School Haunted?

    <h4>Chapter 864: Is Our School Haunted?</h4>

    The weather was very good today. The blue sky was filled with white clouds and golden leaves fluttered in the wind. However, what made the teachers and students turn around was Mu Feng, who was standing at the school gate with his silver hair fluttering in the wind.

    The car stopped in front of Mu Feng. The window was lowered, revealing Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes.

    Mu Feng rolled his eyes. ¡°Let me make it clear first. I have no feelings for your Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m here to study.¡±

    ¡°Study?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Mu Feng and repeated the word.

    Ever since he was young, every time Old Master Mu came to look for Old Master Jun, he wouldin about how much his grandson did not like to study.

    In order not to take the exam, he could find someone to steal the teacher¡¯s office papers. Mu Feng, who could burn the school field in order not to attend ss, actually told him that he wanted to attend ss.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go in first. I won¡¯t talk to you anymore.¡± Mu Feng flung his hair and held the car door with his hand before jumping into the sports car.

    A huge explosion sounded. Mu Feng drove his car with his silver hair fluttering. There was an unruly smile on his gender-neutral face that captured the hearts of everyone.

    ¡°I¡¯m going down. Bye.¡± The car drove into the school and stopped below the office. Xia Wanyuan prepared to get out.

    ¡°It¡¯s hard on you. Bye.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head,forting her like a child, causing her tough.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were curved like moonlight soaked in water.

    Mu Feng said that he was here for ss, but he fell asleep less than three minutester. It was only when the bell rang that Mu Feng reacted and hurriedly chased after Xia Wanyuan, who had already left the ssroom.

    ¡°Hey, Boss, let me ask you something.¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that Mu Feng was not really here for ss.

    ¡°Forget it, you won¡¯t know even if I tell you.¡± Mu Feng nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold and otherworldly appearance.<i>?She probably wouldn¡¯t pay attention to the people and things around her. ¡°</i>Go ahead and do your work. Remember my triple sry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had many things on her hands. Mu Feng did not continue asking, and Xia Wanyuan did not stay any longer.

    Mu Feng walked around the school aimlessly and his eyes lit up when he saw the basketball court.

    Half an hourter, Mu Feng subdued a group of fans with his absolute ability.

    ¡°Brother, you yed so well!!¡±

    ¡°What year are you in? Join our school¡¯s basketball team. There are many beauties.¡±

    The friendship between boys was that simple. They did not pay attention to the entertainment industry, nor did they know Mu Feng. Furthermore, Mu Feng was about the same age as them, so everyone naturally treated him as a junior.

    ¡°About this.¡± Mu Feng thought about it seriously. ¡°Sigh, why don¡¯t I treat everyone to a meal and talk about this in detail?¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡±

    Mu Feng was generous and directly booked the best restaurant and karaoke room beside the school. After a round of toasts, Mu Feng had already be ¡°Brother Mu¡±.

    ¡°Brother Mu, let me tell you,e to us. Our cheerleading team has gathered all the major department beauties of Qing University. You¡¯ll definitely find a girlfriend.¡±

    Finally, they got to the point. Mu Feng took a sip of wine. ¡°I don¡¯t know who are the department belles in our school. Tell me about it.¡±

    In order to recruit this junior who yed basketball very well under them, everyone gave Mu Feng an exnation of all the major beauties of the Qing University. They even found photos on the school forum for him to see.

    However, the more Mu Feng looked, the more he frowned.

    <i>That girl was so beautiful. It was impossible that she could not even be considered a school belle, right? Could it be that I had really met Nie Xiaoqian??</i>

    ¡°Senior, I have a question. Is our school haunted?¡±

 Chapter 865 - Blind Date

    <h4>Chapter 865: Blind Date</h4>

    Everyone was stunned for a moment when Mu Feng said this. Then, the atmosphere became lively.

    ¡°Aiyo, Brother, did you hear about our subway project? I heard that we dug out a lot of old antiques.¡±

    ¡°Junior, have you heard of a saying? Our school is not most lively during the day, but at night. I heard thatst time, someone met an especially beautiful female ghost in the building.¡±

    ¡°Also, I heard that our school is built on top of the cemetery. Do you know the dormitory building of the sports school? I heard that a master came to take a look and specially suppressed it in the ce with the heaviest yin energy¡­¡±

    At the mention of this topic, the seniors were clearly extremely excited. They told Mu Feng all sorts of campus legends.

    After dinner, Mu Feng had already begun to doubt his worldview.?<i>Could it be that I had really met a ghost??</i>

    When he saw Mu Feng at the coffee shop, Fatty Liu had a look of disbelief.

    He looked at the time on his watch. It was ten in the morning.

    ¡°Brother Mu, is your rm clock broken? Why are you out at this time?¡± ording to Mu Feng¡¯s habit of going out at night, he usually wouldn¡¯t see anyone until seven in the evening.

    ¡°Investigate someone for me.¡± Mu Feng leanedzily on the chair and yawned. It was quite difficult to adjust his biological clock after a long time.

    ¡°Hey, Brother Mu, who are you looking for?¡±

    ¡°Finding a woman.¡± Thinking of those eyes filled with the misty rain of Jiangnan, Mu Feng tapped his index finger on the table twice. ¡°She¡¯s very beautiful.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Fatty Liu nodded seriously. ¡°Then?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± Mu Feng narrowed his eyes.

    ¡°???¡± Fatty Liu looked at him as if he was begging him to be human. ¡°Brother Mu, do you know how many beautiful women there are? On the streets of Beijing, you can casually pull a beautiful sister from everywhere. Your range is too wide.¡±

    ¡°The especially beautiful kind. I can tell that she¡¯s well-read.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Fatty Liu was speechless. ¡°Last time, when I introduced you to the beauty of the Qing University, you thought that she had the smell of a schr and chased her away. How did you think things through?¡±

    ¡°Cut the crap. Go and find her. If you find her, feel free to make any requests.¡± Mu Feng yawned impatiently.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fatty Liu was instantly motivated by Mu Feng¡¯s words. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Mu Feng nodded and took a sip of coffee. Just as he was about to go home and sleep, the Mu family called.

    Mu Feng pressed the answer button. After listening for a while, he frowned.

    ¡°What blind date? I¡¯m not going. If I sit here, the people chasing me will line up from the north of the city to the south. Why would I need a blind date?¡±

    However, Mu Feng¡¯s words were clearly not convincing.

    The old master¡¯s powerful voice came from the phone. ¡°You brat, stop talking nonsense!!! Let me tell you, if I don¡¯t see you at the Rose Restaurant this week, just you wait. I¡¯ll break your legs.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, your skills are not good. You¡¯ve beaten my legs for 20 years, but you still haven¡¯t broken them.¡± Mu Feng smiled and teased Old Master.

    As expected, Old Master Mu was angered by his teasing. ¡°Rascal! Stop fooling around. I¡¯ll leave my words here. I arranged more than ten people for you before but you didn¡¯t go. This time, the other party isn¡¯t someone you can skip. If you want our Mu family to lose face in front of others, don¡¯t go.¡±

    With that, Old Master Mu hung up the phone, so angry that his beard curled up.

    ¡°Dad, calm down. Isn¡¯t Feng¡¯er still young?¡± The gentle woman beside Old Master Mu saw that Old Master was so angry and hurriedly brought him some antihypertensive medicine.

    ¡°Young what?! If he was like Jun Shiling, I wouldn¡¯t have any objections if he didn¡¯t get married at the age of forty! Look at him. He only knows how to go to nightclubs every day. I even donated ten buildings for his university education. If I don¡¯t find someone to control him, my Mu family will be destroyed in his hands!¡±

    The more Old Master Mu spoke, the angrier he became. The medicine waspletely useless.

    ¡°Sigh.¡±?<i>Old Master Mu was right.?</i>The woman beside him sighed. ¡°But with Feng¡¯er¡¯s personality, can anyone control him even if he¡¯s married?¡±

    ¡°At least let him know what responsibility is. Sigh, seriously, it¡¯s all my fault for spoiling this child.¡± Old Master Mu was angry and anxious.

    ¡°Alright, alright, Dad. Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Drink some water.¡± The woman hurriedly calmed Old Master Mu down.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Wei family¡¯s courtyard.

    The old madam looked at the woman in the white cheongsam in front of her with a loving smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Are you doing well in school?¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I¡¯m fine.¡± Wei Jin folded her hands in front of her and stood quietly. It was a beautiful painting.

    ¡°Okay, your parents have already told you, right? If you¡¯re unwilling, tell me.¡± The more Old Madam Wei looked at Wei Jin, the more satisfied she was. To dare to send Wei Jin to the capital, the Wei family must be extremely satisfied and proud of this junior.

    ¡°Grandma, the Wei family raised me. If I can contribute to the marriage between the Wei and Mu families, I have no objections.¡±

 Chapter 866 - The Jun Corporation Protects the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 866: The Jun Corporation Protects the Princess</h4>

    Wei Jin was smart and saw everything clearly. From the moment she stepped onto the road to the capital, Wei Jin knew that her life was over.

    When she was chosen by the Wei family¡¯s old residence to be sent to Beijing, she knew that she could no longer decide everything herself in the future. As long as the family had requests, she had to do her best.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Matriarch Wei nodded in satisfaction. ¡°This Saturday, at Rose Restaurant,e with me to meet the young master of the Mu family.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Grandma.¡± Wei Jin smiled. ¡°Grandma, I still have a sster. I¡¯ll go back to school first.¡±

    ¡°Mm, go ahead. Tell the butler if you need anything.¡± Matriarch Wei waved her hand and gestured for the butler to send Wei Jin out.

    Wei Jin went out and rejected the Wei family¡¯s car. She walked towards the school.

    Thete autumn sun shone on her, making her feel warm. The golden ginkgo leaves kept brushing past her shoulders.

    Wei Jin had heard from others that the young master of the Mu family was a standard profligate son.

    She was not particrly sad. After all, this kind of involuntary thing had happened too many times since she was young. However, looking at the falling leaves, Wei Jin¡¯s heart was a little empty. Her life was probably like these fallen leaves. Wherever the wind blew, she would be there.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The news and public opinion about Xia Wanyuan hadpletely changed. All sorts of in-depth digging had revealed the truth to everyone.

    While the fans were happy for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s vindication, they could not help but ask,

    ¡°Don¡¯t those media and marketing ounts who spread all kinds of rumors have to bear any responsibility?¡±

    It turned out that they were indeed not responsible for anything.

    Whether it was the marketing ounts that had infiltrated the school and maliciously edited footages, or the media that cooperated with Dongshan Vige Chief Huang, after the truth was exposed, they deleted all the rumors and Weibo posts.

    Everyone¡¯s Weibo was still updating normally, as if everything was fleeting.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans could not stand it anymore and rushed to these people¡¯s Weibo.

    [Are you not even going to apologize? Is spreading rumors zero cost? Why are you continuing to post on Weibo with a clear conscience?]

    [ It¡¯s reallyughable. If not for Yan Ci stepping forward and the truth being exposed by the little sweet potato, Xia Wanyuan would have been destroyed by you. The people of Dongshan would have been destroyed by you. The market value of the Xiafeng Group has dwindled by nearly ten billion in two days. You actually don¡¯t have to bear any responsibility at all. ]

    [ You people who eat human blood buns and spread rumors will receive retribution sooner orter. ]

    The marketing ount did not care about everyone¡¯s insults. In fact, it was very happy. After all, if someone scolded them, it would be a little popr.

    Some marketing ounts even signed special contracts with the tform. As long as the poprity reached a certain amount, the tform would give the marketing ount advertising fees.

    This time, many marketing ounts did not apologize or restrain themselves. Instead, they became even more arrogant. In addition, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans¡¯ various requests for them to apologize had aroused their anger, and the marketing ounts hadpletely fallen out.

    ¡°Why should I apologize? Xia Wanyuan relied on her money and power to turn the tables and not let anyone say anything?¡±

    ¡°A long time ago, Xia Wanyuan was involved with Yan Ci. Now, Yan Ci is speaking up for Xia Wanyuan despite the public opinion. Actually, it¡¯s because Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan are in a rtionship and the two of them are secretly living together.¡±

    The marketing ount¡¯s words instantly triggered the anger of Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci¡¯s fans. Everyone was arguing fervently in thements.

    The marketing ount looked at the explosive poprity andughed happily behind the scenes.

    Just the news about Xia Wanyuan that had been posted over the past two days had increased its poprity greatly. They had earned a lot of money, so what if others scolded them?

    The fans were also extremely disappointed. Seeing that these people who had once insulted Xia Wanyuan could still jump around so happily, although everyone was angry, there was nothing they could do.

    Fans could only constantly boycott marketing ounts in Weiboments. The marketing ounts happily epted the poprity that came knocking on their door. They even prepared to release more dirt about Xia Wanyuan to attract fans.

    However, before they could continue to be arrogant, the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo posted another post. This post shattered the hopes of all the marketing ounts that relied on rumors to attract poprity.

 Chapter 867 - Daily Life Sugar Fried Chestnuts

    <h4>Chapter 867: Daily Life Sugar Fried Chestnuts</h4>

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°The corporation¡¯s legal team will sue the ounts and individuals on the following list ording to thew for spreading rumors about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo ount and public rtionspany.¡±

    Under a very short Weibo post, there was a photo. In the photo were the names of the marketing ounts that spread rumors.

    This was not the first time the Jun Corporation had defended Xia Wanyuan. No one was very surprised by this action. What shocked them was that the Jun Corporation had actually mobilized the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal team.

    This was a legal team that was known to be invincible in the North Mountain. They were famous for being undefeated in the industry and were the trump card of the Jun Corporation. Nopany in the industry dared to have a legal dispute with the Jun Corporation.

    [ Oh my god, can I say that Xia Wanyuan is enjoying the treatment of the little princess of the Jun Corporation? She actually used the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal system. In my impression, they will only be mobilized for especially important matters. ]

    [Hahahahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter now. They¡¯ve provoked the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal department. Those marketing ounts who spread rumors can wait for death. Do they really think that the rumors have zero cost? Retribution came.]

    [ I support suing them to death. These people have no professional ethics at all. They deserve to be sued for losing their bottom line for poprity. ]

    The fans happily tagged the arrogant marketing ount under this Weibo post.

    A bunch of marketing ounts instantly changed their names and deleted all the rumors about Xia Wanyuan.

    However, it was already toote.

    Just as the official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation posted it, in reality, all thewsuit letters had been handed to the operator of the ount.

    This was the first time someone had discovered these people who had been hiding behind the Inte for so long.

    Looking at the court notice in their hands, these people felt that they had really failed this time. They were doomed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    When it was time to get off work, Jun Shiling went to Qing University to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and Jun Shiling handed her a cup of hot tea.

    ¡°Look, isn¡¯t that woman very beautiful?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea and pointed at Wei Jin, who was standing in front of the school building not far away.

    Jun Shiling took a look and retracted his gaze. ¡°Why? Do you want to test my loyalty?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyelids slightly. ¡°Your imagination is really strong. That¡¯s my distant cousin. The Wei family is quite good at raising people. They can raise such a beautiful person.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly. ¡°No one will raise one like the Xia family.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling, her curved eyes shining.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to say something, the car suddenly stopped. The driver lowered the partition.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Young Master, Madam, the tire was scratched by a sharp stone. I¡¯ll call the butler now and ask him to send another car over.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened the window and took a look. They were already very close to the manor, only about half a kilometer away. ¡°Let¡¯s walk back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. He took out the fried chestnuts from the thermos and pulled Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

    This was the peach blossom garden in the downtown area. Other than rows of ginkgo trees, there was nothing else.

    There was a thickyer of ginkgo leaves on the road. It was like stepping on a carpet.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand into his pocket, unwrapped a steaming chestnut, and handed it to her.

    ¡°Is it sweet?¡±

    ¡°Mm, delicious.¡± This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had eaten this. The soft texture was like yam, but it was more fragrant. ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°Sugar-fried chestnuts. I bought them on the way to pick you up.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and wiped the chestnut crumbs from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth. ¡°This is something many people will eat in the autumn.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very fragrant.¡± After eating something delicious, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Xia Wanyuan loved to eat it, so Jun Shiling had been peeling it for her.

    On the golden avenue surrounded by ginkgo trees, apanied by their conversation, the fragrance of chestnuts lingered.

    The two of them, who were wearing couple coats, gradually walked away.

    After a distance, Jun Shiling squatted down and carried Xia Wanyuan.

    The paper bag was filled with chestnuts that Jun Shiling had already peeled. Xia Wanyuan fed herself and gave Jun Shiling one.

    The autumn wind came from afar, rustling the fallen leaves. The golden leaves fell one by one andnded gently behind the two of them.

 Chapter 868 - Huge Transformation

    <h4>Chapter 868: Huge Transformation</h4>

    There were sounds of mouse clicking in the Wei family¡¯s courtyard.

    Looking at the high-definition photos on the screen, a strange smile shed across Yu Qian¡¯s face.

    He had always suspected the rtionship between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information was too well protected. Now, it was finally proven.

    Looking at the photo of Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan into the manor, Yu Qian¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly as he reached out to turn off theputer.

    ¡°I see.¡± Yu Qian whispered.

    At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Yu Qian pressed on it. ¡°Senior, are you free tonight? We haven¡¯t seen each other for a few days. I miss you.¡±

    A cold glint shed across Yu Qian¡¯s eyes as he transferred 100,000 yuan to An Lin. ¡°Take good care of the baby.¡± After saying this, Yu Qian turned off his phone.

    An Lin was furious when she saw the transfer message.<i>?Do Ick this 100,000 yuan?!?</i>But when she called Yu Qian again, it could not get through.

    ¡°Damn it!!¡± An Lin threw the phone against the wall, and it shattered into several pieces.

    Ever since thest banquet, Wei Zimu had never appeared again. Every time An Lin looked for him on WeChat, she would only receive four words: ¡°Take good care of the baby.¡±

    She did not understand why Wei Zimu¡¯s attitude had changed so much.?<i>Did he not want to be responsible anymore??</i>

    Wei Zimu was so cold to her. Thinking of how sincere Bo Xiao was when he proposed to An Rao, An Lin was so jealous that she was about to go crazy.

    Sitting on the sofa and thinking for a long time, An Lin stood up again, picked up the SIM card, and ced it on the spare phone. ¡°Mother, I have something to tell you.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Brother Mu, is this really okay? Aren¡¯t you afraid that your old master will break your legs?¡± Fatty Liu watched Mu Feng put makeup on his face in shock.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything. It¡¯s just a little makeup. My old master can¡¯t tell that I¡¯m wearing makeup at all,¡± Mu Feng said as he wiped his eyebrows with a makeup brush.

    ¡°Brother Mu, you really know how to draw.¡± Fatty Liu looked at Mu Feng here and there. He clearly did not have any makeup on, but his aura waspletely different.

    Mu Feng¡¯s face was extremely exquisite. Coupled with his elegant silver hair, he looked a little androgynous. After he deliberately changed his bone structure with the high light shadow, he looked very feminine.

    ¡°Where are the clothes I asked you to prepare?¡± After Mu Feng finished putting on his makeup, he even curled a strand of hair with a curly stick. His long and narrow eyes nced over, causing Fatty Liu¡¯s heart to race.

    ¡°Brother Mu, don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯m going to bend.¡± Fatty Liu covered his face and went to get something for Mu Feng. His ears were a little red.

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Mu Feng kicked him.

    Five minutester.

    Mu Feng was wearing a bright red shirt embroidered with peonies and butterflies, a pair of tight jeans, and a pair of golden bean shoes.

    Fatty Liu felt that his young man¡¯s heart, which had just sprouted identally, had beenpletely shattered.

    ¡°Am I handsome?¡± Mu Feng flicked the silver hair on his forehead and blinked at Fatty Liu.

    ¡°Handsome!¡± Fatty Liu gave him a thumbs up.

    Let¡¯s go to Rose Restaurant.¡± Mu Feng picked up his car keys and walked out.

    In the Rose Restaurant.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Old Master Mu. Our Wei Jin has ss today and mighteter.¡± Matriarch Wei looked apologetic.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Old Madam. I can understand. The teaching industry is really good. I only want to find a teacher for my grandson in my life. It¡¯s nothing. We can wait.¡± Old Master Mu only hoped that Mu Feng would not cause trouble today. He did not ask for anything else.

    Just as Old Master Mu thought of Mu Feng, the door to the private room opened.

    ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m here.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 869: Meeting Nie Xiaoqian Again on a Blind Date</h4>

    Hearing Mu Feng¡¯s voice, Old Master Mu subconsciously nced at Old Madam Wei. Seeing that Old Madam Wei, who had been chatting for so long, actually frowned, Old Master Mu¡¯s heart sank.

    He looked at the door with an old heart.

    With a thud, Old Master Mu¡¯s heart fell from the abyss. If not for the fact that there were others present, Old Master Mu really wanted to take off his shoe and p Mu Feng¡¯s devilish face.

    There was also the golden bean shoes that emitted thousands of dazzling lights under the crystal. It simply blinded everyone present. Old Master Mu was so angry that his beard curled up.

    ¡°Hello, Matriarch Wei. My name is Mu Feng.¡± Mu Feng walked forward and greeted Matriarch Wei very politely.

    Matriarch Wei sized up Mu Feng¡¯s enchanting little steps and his unconsciously raised eyebrows as he spoke. She was very dissatisfied.

    Even if they wanted a political marriage, her Wei family would not have found such a person.

    However, the other party was from the Mu family after all. The Old Madam nodded at him calmly.

    Mu Feng smiled at Old Madam Wei and sat beside Old Master Mu. Ignoring Old Master Mu¡¯s murderous gaze, he calmly raised an orchid finger and poured tea for Old Master Mu.

    How could Old Master Mu still drink tea? Now, he wished he could draw Mu Feng¡¯s blood and drink it. Mu Feng leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip before instantly spitting the tea on the ground.

    ¡°Why is the tea so bad? Are you trying to fool us with such lousy tea?¡±

    ¡°Young Master Mu, this is the best Longjing tea before the rain.¡± The waiter hurriedly walked over and exined.

    ¡°You call Longjing tea tea?¡± Mu Feng frowned, his eyes filled with arrogance. He was like a rich second-generation heir who did not belong to the mortal world. ¡°Let your manager buy the most expensive Da Hong Pao. Do we look like people whock money?¡±

    ¡°Nonsense!¡± Old Master Mu finally could not take it anymore and scolded Mu Feng sternly. He looked at Old Madam Wei with a flushed face. ¡°Old Madam Wei, I¡¯m sorry. My grandson is naughty.¡±

    ¡°Elder Mu, you¡¯re too polite. It¡¯s normal for children to be arrogant at such a young age.¡± There was no strange expression on Matriarch Wei¡¯s face, but she no longer had any hope for this marriage.

    ¡°Grandpa, I just want to treat Old Madam Wei better.¡± Mu Feng pointed at the orchid and poured a cup of tea for Old Madam Wei. He twisted his waist and stood up. ¡°Old Madam Wei, let me give you a toast.¡±

    At that moment, the door behind Mu Feng was opened. A gentle and clear voice came from behind. ¡°Grandma.¡±

    Mu Feng was subconsciously stunned. A faint orchid fragrance floated over. His mind went nk and he turned around stiffly to look at the person behind him.

    Wei Jin had always been sensible. She knew that she could not embarrass the Wei family today, so she specially dressed up.

    The light makeup made her facial features even more moving. She was wearing a light pink cheongsam with golden peonies, gentle and dignified.

    There was a faint smile on her lips. When she walked to Old Madam Wei from the door, she inexplicably reminded them of the words ¡°Lotus Step¡±.

    Mu Feng watched in a daze. His heart was in turmoil.?<i>My blind date partner was this Nie Xiaoqian?!</i>

    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re here.¡± Matriarch Wei pulled Wei Jin¡¯s hand and introduced her. ¡°This is Old Mr. Mu.¡±

    Wei Jin bowed slightly to Old Master Mu. ¡°Hello, Grandpa Mu.¡±

    Old Master Mu looked at the dignified and schrly Wei Jin with admiration in his eyes. ¡°Hello, hello, Old Madam Wei, your Wei family really knows how to raise people.¡±

    Their Mu family had been in the military for generations, and theycked a cultured granddaughter-inw.

    Old Master Mu was extremely satisfied with Wei Jin. However, when he thought of his prodigal grandson, Mu Feng¡¯s performance, Old Master Mu suddenly had the urge to stuff Mu Feng back into his mother¡¯s womb.

    Although Matriarch Wei did not show it on her face, he could tell that Matriarch Wei had already given up on this marriage.

    ¡°This is Mu Feng.¡± For Old Master Mu¡¯s sake, Matriarch Wei introduced Mu Feng to Wei Jin.

    ¡°Hello, Mr. Mu.¡± Only then did Wei Jin notice Mu Feng, who was wearing a flowery shirt with his orchid fingers raised. She was stunned for a moment, then recovered her expression and greeted Mu Feng politely.

    ¡°Hello, my name is Mu Feng.¡± Mu Feng stared at Wei Jin until he did not even blink. Wei Jin had already sat down, but Mu Feng was still staring at her in a daze.

    ¡°Sit down, you¡¯re embarrassing yourself!¡± Old Master Mu was furious when he saw Mu Feng like this.

    What were you doing earlier?!

    Now, you¡¯re staring at her non-stop.

    Seeing him like this, Old Madam Wei became even more unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Old Master Mu. There¡¯s a problem with thepany. I have to go back early. Let¡¯s contact each other another day.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Old Master Mu knew that contacting him another day was just an excuse.

    However, it was his grandson who was rude first, so he was too embarrassed to ask him to stay.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Matriarch Wei stood up. Wei Jin also stood up and supported Matriarch Wei.

    When she passed by Mu Feng, she sensed that Mu Feng was staring at her. Wei Jin subconsciously nced at him, then her gazended on Mu Feng¡¯s golden bean shoes.

    The next second, Wei Jin followed Matriarch Wei out the door without looking back.

    After Matriarch Wei left, Old Master Mu got someone to close the door and hit Mu Feng with his walking stick. ¡°What have you done!¡±

 Chapter 870 - You Look Really Awesome

    <h4>Chapter 870: You Look Really Awesome</h4>

    After leaving the restaurant and getting into the car, Matriarch Wei patted the back of Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°Although it¡¯s a marriage alliance, the Wei family won¡¯t push you into the fire pit.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Grandma.¡± Wei Jin smiled and nodded. However, there was no extra joy in her misty eyes.

    After all, marriage meant the same to her, whoever she married.

    After various guarantee treaties, Mu Feng let Old Master Mu vent his anger and could finallye out of the private room.

    Outside the restaurant, Fatty Liu was waiting for him in his car. Mu Feng jumped into the front passenger seat. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the training ground.¡±

    Fatty Liu was frightened as he watched the silver-white car race on the track.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Brother Mu today?¡± Someone came over. ¡°From the looks of it, he won¡¯t stop until he wears out the track.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. He became like this after a blind date.¡± Fatty Liu was also puzzled.<i> Could it be that the other party was too ugly and made Mu Feng break down? </i>

    Everyone was discussing. On the track, Mu Feng held the steering wheel and raised his speed to the limit.

    On the edge of life and death, Mu Feng¡¯s mind was nk, as if everything had been filtered out.

    However, those misty eyes lingered in his thoughts.

    Mu Feng increased his speed again and stepped on the elerator. Under everyone¡¯s exmations, he reached the end.

    ¡°Congrattions, Brother Mu. You broke the record again.¡± Fatty Liu walked over with two bottles of water.

    Mu Feng took it and took a sip. ¡°Go to Qing University and investigate a teacher called Wei Jin. Find her ss schedule. From tomorrow onwards, apany me to ss.¡±

    ¡°Ah?!¡± Fatty Liu was shocked by Mu Feng¡¯s words.

    <i>A teacher from the Qing University? How old was she? Could it be that Brother Mu liked mature people? Love between an older woman and a younger man?! </i>

    Fatty Liu wanted to ask more, but Mu Feng had already walked far away.

    He quickly got someone to spend money to get a copy of Wei Jin¡¯s ss schedule.

    On the way to ss with Mu Feng, Fatty Liu said earnestly, ¡°Brother Mu, there are so many young and beautiful girls in Beijing. Don¡¯t take things too hard.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Mu Feng had already returned to his usual attire. His silver hair fluttered, and he attracted countless admiring gazes as he walked.

    The two of them sneaked into the ssroom and found a seat in the corner of thest row.

    Although Mu Feng did not let Fatty Liu speak, Fatty Liu thought of how well Mu Feng had treated him for so many years and still felt that he could not watch him go astray.

    Hence, Fatty Liu sent Mu Feng more than ten links on WeChat.

    ¡°There are ten disadvantages to a rtionship with an older woman and a younger man. Please consider it carefully.¡±

    ¡°You think you¡¯ve conquered her, but in fact, you¡¯re just the most inconspicuous person in her life experience.¡±

    ¡°The best age difference between a man and a woman is three years. It¡¯s a tragedy to be over ten years old.¡±

    Fatty Liu was in a good mood when he suddenly received a friend request.

    Mu Feng had already deleted him as a good friend.

    ¡°Brother Mu.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Mu Feng threw his phone into his pocket impatiently.

    The bell rang and the ssroom quickly fell silent. Fatty Liu supported his head and looked around, wanting to see what kind of old demon could charm Brother Mu to this extent.

    Then, he saw a woman wearing a light green cheongsam walk in with her hair gently tied up with a jade hairpin.

    Fatty Liu had even less stock than Mu Feng. He searched for all the adjectives.

    In the end, he could only sigh.

    ¡°Brother Mu, the woman you like is really awesome!¡±

 Chapter 871 - Be a Jerk Treat Me to a Meal

    <h4>Chapter 871: Be a Jerk Treat Me to a Meal</h4>

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Mu Feng looked at Fatty Liu in disdain. ¡°You¡¯re uncultured.¡±

    <i>What kind of description was that? It was not as reliable as my Nie Xiaoqian.?</i>

    ¡°¡­¡± Fatty Liu shut his mouth.

    On the podium, Wei Jin looked around the ssroom. She clearly saw Mu Feng in the back row. A hint of disgust shed across Wei Jin¡¯s eyes, but she quickly hid it.

    ¡°Good morning, everyone. Today¡¯s lesson is to explore the meaning of the poem.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, quietly flowing in the ssroom.

    ¡°The light green scene warms my heart.¡± Wei Jin stood in front of an ancient painting and brought the people in the ssroom into that romantic Pre-Qin world.

    Looking at Wei Jin, who was dressed in a cheongsam and spoke softly. Her every move made people feel the fragrance of books. This was the first time Fatty Liu felt that he could enjoy ss so much.

    ¡°Brother Mu, no wonder you don¡¯t like the many beauties I introduced to you. This Teacher Wei is too amazing, really.¡± Fatty Liu sighed softly. In the end, he could not find any adjectives after searching for a long time. ¡°She looks so awesome, and her temperament is also very awesome.¡±

    After not hearing Mu Feng¡¯s response for a long time, Fat Liu turned around. Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were glued to Wei Jin.

    <i>Fine, Brother Mu was truly moved.</i>

    This was the first time for Fatty Liu, who had never scored more than 20 points in a test, to listen to a lesson so seriously in his life.

    When the bell rang, Fatty Liu took a deep breath with a look of rebirth. ¡°Brother Mu, I feel that I¡¯ve been reborn. I feel that even my breathing has words. Brother Mu, Brother Mu?¡±

    Mu Feng, who had listened to the entire lesson seriously, looked at Wei Jin, who was packing her books. After two hours, he finally said, ¡°I want to marry her.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Fatty Liu was stunned. ¡°Brother Mu, didn¡¯t you just go on a blind date yesterday? Would your old master agree to you changing people?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s that blind date.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Fatty Liu was even more stunned. Thinking of Mu Feng¡¯s outfit yesterday, he could only think of one sentence. ¡°What a sin.¡±

    Seeing that Wei Jin had already walked out of the ssroom, Mu Feng stood up and chased after her.

    ¡°Miss Wei.¡± Mu Feng chased out of the ssroom and stopped Wei Jin.

    ¡°Mr. Mu.¡± Wei Jin turned around and nodded politely at Mu Feng.

    ¡°You can call me Mu Feng.¡± Mu Feng smiled charmingly. ¡°In exchange, I can call you Wei Jin.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t dare.¡± Wei Jin frowned slightly. It was obviously overboard for Mu Feng to call her by her name, but her good upbringing still made her restrain her thoughts.

    ¡°I dare.¡± Mu Feng tilted his head and smiled at Wei Jin. ¡°Last time in the alley, it was all thanks to your help. Last time, you left in a hurry, so I didn¡¯t have time to thank you. Let me treat you to dinner tonight.¡±

    ¡°No need. It was nothing.¡± Wei Jin did not like Mu Feng¡¯s style and did not want to have anything to do with his car.

    ¡°You helped me, so I just want to treat you to a meal.¡± Mu Feng sensed Wei Jin¡¯s resistance and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°Or I can prepare some gifts to thank you in person at the Wei family.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Wei Jin felt that this man with a naughty smile was a little annoying. Matriarch Wei did not like this Mu Feng. She did not want Mu Feng to appear in the Wei family. ¡°Alright, where are we going to eat?¡±

    Mu Feng smiled smugly. ¡°What time is yourst ss? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡±

    ¡°Six o¡¯clock.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Mu Feng was satisfied with the answer he wanted. ¡°Then I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡±

    Wei Jin reluctantly agreed.

    Mu Feng turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned around. Under the sunlight, his silver hair shone brightly, and there was an unruly smile on his face. ¡°Bye.¡±

    ¡°.....¡±

    After Mu Feng left, Wei Jin thought for a while and was a little worried that it was not safe, so she called Xia Wanyuan.

    After hearing Wei Jin¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Go ahead. The Mu family won¡¯t put you in an unsafe situation.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Cousin.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan had said so, Wei Jin was slightly relieved.

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby?¡± Jun Shiling was changing the n when Xia Wanyuan poked him and he slowed down his typing.

    ¡°I think I have the potential to be a matchmaker.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling thoughtfully and told him about Mu Feng and Wei Jin.

    ¡°If the two of them seed, it will be a good thing for you.¡± Jun Shiling was not interested in other people¡¯s rtionships. He was only thinking from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perspective. If this marriage seeded, if Xia Wanyuan wanted to control the Wei family in the future, Wei Jin and the Mu family would be a good help.

    Jun Shiling spoke for a long time but did not hear Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response. He put down his work and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan, only to see her looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.

    Jun Shilingughed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°You said you would make something delicious for me yesterday. Have you forgotten?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 872: Popr Ambassador</h4>

    ¡°Wait for tonight.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and leaned over to look at the document in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°The variety show script Chen Yun sent me feels quite interesting,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she reached out to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling naturally held her hand.

    ¡°Going on a variety show again. Are you still going overseas this time?¡± Hearing that Xia Wanyuan was going on a variety show, Jun Shiling was not very happy. Every time she went on a variety show, she would leave him alone.

    ¡°No, just in the suburbs of Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling was relieved. ¡°Go. It¡¯s even better if you can bring me along.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled her hand out of Jun Shiling¡¯s and carried the cat by her feet to herp. She stroked its soft fur and felt that it felt very good. ¡°Change your n.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan bitterly, but he did not receive any response.

    Jun Shiling looked at the kitten lyingfortably on Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp and narrowed his eyes. He felt that bringing this cat back was really a mistake.

    The kitten seemed to have sensed something. Its ss-like blue eyes nced over and raised its head arrogantly at Jun Shiling. ¡°Meow.¡±

    ¡°.....¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    After the matter at Dongshan was resolved, the overwhelming scolding on the Inte gradually dissipated. The publicity campaign for ¡°Moon As Frost¡± that people had deliberately ignored finally arrived and obtained the attention it deserved.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have any more words to say. I just want to invite you to see how amazing the male and female leads of this drama are.¡±

    Under Weibo was a photo of the cast and crew walking from the backstage to the stage.

    Under the bright light, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a cheongsam. Her eyebrows were as ck as ink, and her eyes were like stars. Yan Ci was dressed in a long robe, and the metal frame reflected the light slightly. The cold textureplemented his schrly aura.

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head slightly. Yan Ci looked at her side profile intently, as if he was saying something to her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were cold. Yan Ci smiled, his eyes gentle.

    At this moment, it was as if all time had stopped. The two of them were not in a modern university in the twenty-first century, but in the Qing University hall more than a hundred years ago.

    [ Amazing, Xia Wanyuan is amazing. What if I think she¡¯spatible with anyone? Is a beautypatible with everything? I haven¡¯t even gotten out of her and Xuan Sheng¡¯s trap. Are you pulling me into a cult again? ]

    [ The person in front, this is not a cult. I think it¡¯s very likely that we¡¯ve hit the real deal. Think about the surveince video released by the production team. Yan Ci immediately protected Xia Wanyuan. Moreover, when Xia Wanyuan was criticized by the entire Inte, it was Yan Ci who stepped forward to speak up for her. If this isn¡¯t love, then please tell me what love is. ]

    [It¡¯s just a normal colleague rtionship. Can you not randomly give Yan Ci a couple? Yan Ci said that he wouldn¡¯t consider dating before 35.]

    No matter how much the fans did not want their idols to be rted to someone else, to passers-by, it was a win-win situation.

    Everyone pulled out the promotional video and watched it again and again.

    Soon, the topic ¡°A hundred steps through the por¡± became a trending topic.

    Someizens clicked on the trending topic and saw a video.

    In the video, Xia Wanyuan pulled the bow with one hand and casually nocked an arrow. It clearly looked like a casual pull, but she hit the bullseye of the target opposite her.

    [I know that Xia Wanyuan is good at painting, singing, and ying the piano. Can anyone tell me why she even knows how to shoot arrows?]

    [Have you forgotten her performance when she participated in the Endless Challenge variety showst time? I think Xia Wanyuan is a martial arts expert. I don¡¯t ept rebuttal.]

    The poprity of these two topics quickly increased. Everyone discussed enthusiastically, and even the poprity of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± rose.

    Director Li Heng looked at the popr scene on the Inte and happily called the publicity team. ¡°We can save on the promotion fee!¡±

    <i>Why would I need promotion fees? Xia Wanyuan was a publicity ambassador with her own poprity on the Inte. It was even better than ten million promotion fees.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the evening, it suddenly rained.

    The bell rang after ss. Wei Jin packed her things and walked out. When she saw the drizzle, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that the young master of the Mu family would forget about the night¡¯s agreement.

    However, her hope was shattered when she saw the extremely eye-catching silver sports car outside the school building.

    ¡°Good afternoon.¡± Mu Feng got out of the car and walked towards Wei Jin with an umbre.

    Wei Jin frowned slightly. She ced the book on her head and quickly walked forward. She opened the door and sat in.

    Mu Feng held arge umbre and did not manage to shelter her. He shook his head and smiled before returning to the car.

    <h4>Chapter 873: Racing Four People¡¯s Daily Life</h4>

    As Mu Feng entered the car, Wei Jin felt as if the entire space in the car had beenpressed. She had never been alone with a man like this before, and Wei Jin felt very ufortable.

    ¡°Miss Wei.¡± Mu Feng turned around. There were a few raindrops on his silver hair. ¡°Do you want to sit in the front? Are you treating me as a chauffeur?¡±

    ¡°Mr. Mu, you must be joking.¡± After saying this, Wei Jin looked out of the window, looking like she wanted to admire the scenery.

    The corners of Mu Feng¡¯s lips curled up.<i> Fine, she doesn¡¯t want to talk to me. </i>

    Mu Feng was not angry and started the car.

    Wei Jin thought that they would go to an extremely high-end restaurant like the previous blind date, but to her surprise, Mu Feng drove out of the city.

    Looking at the increasingly remote environment, Wei Jin tightened her grip on herp. She took out her phone and opened the rm page. She pressed the rm button and sat guard.

    ¡°If you¡¯re not hungry, I¡¯ll bring you to watch apetition before we eat,¡± Mu Feng suddenly said. Wei Jin¡¯s eyelids twitched.

    ¡°Okay.¡± In Wei Jin¡¯s eyes, the current Mu Feng was not safe. She tried her best to follow his thoughts and go to a crowded ce first.

    The car gradually drove up the mountain. Wei Jin¡¯s hand was getting closer and closer to the rm button.

    When they turned around a mountain pass, a huge ¡°racing arena¡± sign appeared in front of them. There were peopleing and going in front, and loud cheers came from time to time. Wei Jin was relieved.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Mu Feng got out of the car and opened the door for Wei Jin. He extended his arm to her. Wei Jin did not let him help her. Instead, she got out of the car and ignored Mu Feng¡¯s hand.

    Seeing that iconic silver hair, the crowd at the entrance of the venue became enthusiastic.

    ¡°Brother Mu!¡± ¡°Young Master Mu!¡±

    Everyone rushed to greet Mu Feng. In the next second, they saw a woman walk out of the car.

    The cheers stopped for a second, then erupted even more enthusiastically.

    Wei Jin had always liked silence, but the good upbringing that had been formed for a long time still allowed her to maintain a smile on her face. Wei Jin walked slowly beside Mu Feng, as if she was not at the venue but at the piano building in the pavilion.

    ¡°Brother Liu, who is this? She¡¯s so beautiful. I¡¯ve been in thepetition for so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen such a good-looking woman.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s good-looking, but she doesn¡¯t match Brother Mu¡¯s vibe. Brother Liu, do you know who this woman is?¡±

    Fatty Liu, who was surrounded by all the gossip, cursed. He, Brother Mu, had actually brought Teacher Wei to thepetition venue. Fatty Liu was a little suspicious that Brother Mu had not said that he wanted to marry Teacher Wei on a whim.

    In the manor, seeing the location and questions sent by Wei Jin, Xia Wanyuan replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, call me if anything happens.¡±

    The Mu family was a military family and had very strict rules. Although Mu Feng had gone a little astray, that was only in terms of style. In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion, Mu Feng would not hurt Wei Jin.

    ¡°Meow.¡± Ever since it had been hugged by Xia Wanyuan once, the kitten had liked to let Xia Wanyuan hug it. It took the opportunity to move closer to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet and look at her with its ss-like eyes.

    ¡°Meow.¡± Seeing that the kitten was cute, Xia Wanyuan meowed at it. The kitten¡¯s blue eyes were filled with confusion.

    <i>Hmm? Could this four-legged beast be my kind? </i>

    A chuckle came from behind and a warm kissnded on her ear. ¡°You sound quite simr.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged the cat. ¡°Where¡¯s the delicious food?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m preparing it.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to take the cat away, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    ¡°You like this cat so much?¡± Jun Shiling looked fixedly at the kitten on Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp, regretting bringing it back.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. <i>It was soft and beautiful. Who wouldn¡¯t like it? </i>

    ¡°You.¡± Jun Shiling was about to say something when the sound of high heels clicking came from outside the door.

    The door opened and An Rao walked in with a smile. ¡°Sister, did you miss me?!!!¡±

    An Rao took off her shoes and ran over to hug Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling nced at the cat on Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp and then at An Rao in her arms.<i> Alright, I had nothing to do here. </i>

    During this period of time, she had been busy with the engagement banquet and rarely contacted Xia Wanyuan. Now that she saw her, she happily pulled her and said,

    ¡°Brother, let¡¯s stick together for warmth.¡± Bo Xiao, who had also been ignored, walked to Jun Shiling¡¯s side.

    Jun Shiling nced at him and thought of Bo Xiao showing off his love outside every day. ¡°You¡¯re different from me.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s face was filled with confusion.

    An Rao and Xia Wanyuan chatted for a while and suddenly felt that the temperature in the house had risen a little.

    The two of them took off their coats and walked towards the window. A fire had started in the firece in the living room.

    The bright mes crackled. Under the mes, there were several roasted sweet potatoes.

    A sweet fragrance gradually floated in the air.

 Chapter 874 - Howl, Whos the Person Xiao Bao Loves the Most?

    <h4>Chapter 874: Howl, Who¡¯s the Person Xiao Bao Loves the Most?</h4>

    This sweet fragrance was mellow and dense, with the temperature of autumn, as it lingered in the entire room.

    ¡°There¡¯s actually roasted sweet potatoes!¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes widened in excitement when she saw the sweet potatoes in the firece. She had been busy every day recently and had not eaten anything delicious. Coming to Xia Wanyuan today was a good time to start her feast.

    The sweet potato that modern people were extremely familiar with was very unfamiliar to Xia Wanyuan. The sweet potato had only been brought into China, more than 50 years after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s death.

    Jun Shiling pulled out a roasted sweet potato from the fire and peeled it open. The yellow and red meat was steaming.

    Xia Wanyuan looked expressionless, but Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan had never eaten this before. He waved at her. ¡°Come.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan carried the cat and sat on the carpet. Jun Shiling scooped a small mouthful with a wooden spoon and brought it to her mouth. Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and ate it.

    The soft and sweet taste spread in his mouth. She did not need to chew at all. With a gentle nibble, the roasted sweet potatoes were all cut open.

    The area near the surface was a little charred and smelled of caramel. It was even more unique.

    ¡°Delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up. She opened her mouth and waited for Jun Shiling to feed her.

    On the other hand, Bo Xiao, who had wanted to show off his love in front of Jun Shiling, had just taken the wooden spoon over when An Rao blew on it and ate a sweet potato. Xia Wanyuan had only finished two mouthfuls when half of An Rao¡¯s food was already in her stomach.

    ¡°...¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao, speechless. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just eat a bowl of beef noodles this morning? Will you starve to death?¡±

    An Rao rolled her eyes at Bo Xiao. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Bo Xiao was speechless. He picked up the spoon and poked it himself.

    The rain outside the window gradually became heavier, and the sky gradually darkened.

    The lights in the house were bright. The mes happily licked the furnace wall, sending warmth to every corner of the room.

    ¡°Come, cheers!¡± Four sses clinked. Beside them, a small hand holding a ss of milk also tried to squeeze into the gathering. However, it was frightened back by Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    The wine sses collided with a crisp sound. In the middle was a hotpot that was surging with heat waves. Steam curled up and the fragrance of meat fluttered.

    ¡°Uncle Bo Xiao¡¯s most favorite Auntie An, I want to have a bite too. Can you give me a bite?¡± Xiao Bao looked at the tasteless vegetables in his bowl and then at the mutton in the pot that was very appetizing. He looked at An Rao eagerly.

    An Rao stole a nce at Jun Shiling.<i> I don¡¯t dare, but someone does.</i> An Rao pointed at Bo Xiao. ¡°Get him to help you.¡±

    ¡°Auntie An Rao¡¯s most favorite Uncle Bo Xiao, I want to eat meat too.¡± Xiao Bao carried the bowl and leaned against Bo Xiao pitifully. His eyes were filled with desire and he could not hold back his saliva.

    Bo Xiao pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re so sweet. You¡¯re really not like your father. Come, I¡¯ll find you something to eat.¡± As Bo Xiao spoke, he took out arge piece of meat from the pot. In the end, he did not dare to be too impudent. He found a ss of water and rinsed it before feeding it to Xiao Bao. ¡°Is it delicious?¡±

    ¡°Mm!!!¡± Xiao Bao was overjoyed!!!

    After eating it, Xiao Bao tugged at Bo Xiao¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Xiao Bao¡¯s most favorite Uncle Bo Xiao, I still want to eat.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out and grabbed his cor directly. Xiao Bao kicked his legs symbolically, but it was useless. In the end, he let Jun Shiling drag him back with a hopeless expression.

    ¡°Sit properly and eat your children¡¯s meal.¡±

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as he nodded very firmly. However, his eyes were looking at Xia Wanyuan.

    He looked pitiful and pretended to be strong. No matter how one looked at him, he looked miserable. Xia Wanyuan took some water to braise the meat and fed it to Xiao Bao.

    A mouthful of meat fragrance. ¡°Howl, Mommy, I love you the most.¡±

    Bo Xiao, who had witnessed the entire process, chuckled.<i> Little liar, you loved me the most a second ago.</i>

    On the ss window beside him, lines of rain flowed down, blurring the light and shadow in the room. However, the warmughter was cold and could not be isted.

 Chapter 875 - Try Touching Me

    <h4>Chapter 875: Try Touching Me</h4>

    On the mountain track in the suburbs, the rain had stopped, but the ck clouds were even more oppressive.

    On the winding racetrack, the cars were like giant dragons soaring into the sky. Especially the silver peak king that had left the cars far behind, he increased his speed to the limit.

    The others watched from afar and discussed. Everyone¡¯s attention was on Mu Feng, who was driving the Pinnacle King.

    ¡°Wow, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen Brother Mu take action. The big shot is indeed the big shot. Tsk tsk. Fierce. You can even grab the ground so steadily in this weather. Brother Mu, why did youe on a whim to show off your skills to us mortals today?¡±

    ¡°Tsk, look at the girl sitting over there. Brother Mu brought her here. Brother Mu is so handsome today. He¡¯s probably here to pick up girls.¡±

    ¡°No wonder he didn¡¯t want any of the models that secretly seduced him. So there¡¯s such a top-notch person waiting there.¡±

    Everyone could not help but curiously size up Wei Jin, who was sitting in the stands.

    She was dressed in a light white cheongsam, like an orchid waiting to be released. She had an aura of her own. The extreme speed, deafening cheers, and explosive music did not affect her at all. It was as if as long as she did not speak, the world around her would be quiet.

    ¡°She¡¯s beautiful, but I still like someone like our Qiqi. She¡¯s exciting.¡±

    ¡°Go to hell. Qiqi doesn¡¯t like you, but her heart is probably broken this time. Brother Mu brought her here, so Qiqi should give up.¡±

    The Qiqi that everyone was discussing was the most popr model in this racing arena. At this moment, she had just returned from a car exhibition and had just entered the venue when she heard that Mu Feng had arrived.

    Just as she was about to change her clothes to support Mu Feng, she was stopped by her sisters.

    ¡°Qiqi, I have something to tell you. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± The girl leaned over and looked at Qiqi carefully. In the end, she still spoke.

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s wrong?¡± They were sisters who ate and lived together, so Qiqi did not hide anything. She pulled down the curtain, took off her dress, and changed into hot pants that only covered her butt. She wore a halter top that revealed her hot figure.

    ¡°Not only is Young Master Mu here today, but he also brought a woman. She¡¯s quite beautiful and came in Young Master Mu¡¯s car.¡±

    Qiqi paused in her actions of putting on high heels. The charming corners of her eyes that were hooked by her smoky makeup curled up slightly. ¡°Really? Then I have to see what kind of woman can make Young Master Mu bring her over personally.¡±

    After changing, Qiqi lifted the curtain and walked out.

    ¡°Wow!¡± The moment she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the entire venue. The cheers almost overturned the entire venue.

    Under everyone¡¯s fanatical gazes, Qiqi walked around the venue in her 15cm high heels.

    ¡°Hello, let¡¯s get to know each other?¡± Qiqi walked to Wei Jin¡¯s side and reached out to her while chewing gum. Her fingernails were painted with a bright red skull.

    Wei Jin turned to look at her, then turned back and nodded. ¡°Hello.¡±

    The surrounding people had long sensed that the gunpowder was about to erupt and were secretly watching from the side. Seeing that Wei Jin was so disrespectful, everyone thought that there was a good show to watch.

    ¡°What a temper. You can¡¯t even shake hands?¡± Qiqi spat the gum at Wei Jin¡¯s feet and sneered. ¡°You¡¯re not giving me any face. Is this Young Master Mu¡¯s woman¡¯s standard?¡±

    Wei Jin was slightly obsessed with cleanliness and was very dissatisfied with the chewing gum by her feet. She finally turned around. ¡°I¡¯m a clean freak, so I don¡¯t shake hands with strangers. Also, I¡¯m not Mu Feng¡¯s woman. Please watch your words.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Qiqi rolled her eyes. She looked at Wei Jin¡¯s conservative and traditional clothes. Thinking that Mu Feng actually liked such a boring woman, the jealousy in Qiqi¡¯s heart grew crazily.

    ¡°Is there anyone who wears a cheongsam in this era? How did you climb into Young Master Mu¡¯s bed? Hmm? You¡¯re dressed so conservatively. I wonder if you¡¯re conservative in bed? You should be very flirtatious. Otherwise, how did you trick Young Master Mu away?¡±

    ¡°Pa.¡± Qiqi was still mocking her when Wei Jin pped her. Before Qiqi could finish speaking, Wei Jin pped her again.

    ¡°You little slut!¡± Qiqi finally reacted and raised her hand. Wei Jin kicked Qiqi¡¯s knee. Qiqi¡¯s legs went limp and she knelt on the ground.

    ¡°How dare you hit me?! Who do you think you are?!¡± Qiqi was a social butterfly in the racing arena and had many friends. Seeing that she was beaten, everyone approached her.

    Wei Jin stood quietly on the spot like a soft orchid or an unsheathed sword with a sharp light. ¡°Old Madam Wei is my grandmother. I¡¯m a direct descendant of the Wei family. If you touch me today, your entire racing arena will disappear tomorrow. If you don¡¯t believe me, try me.¡±

    Wei Jin had been taught since she was young that her background was given by her parents. She did not have to use her powerful background to suppress others. However, if she was bullied, she did not have to force herself to be strong. Her powerful background could be used to protect herself.

    As expected, the Wei family could be said to be famous in China. When everyone heard Wei Jin¡¯s words and saw her arrogant style, their hearts began to waver.

    This matter had nothing to do with anyone in the first ce. They were not the ones who were beaten up, so there was no need to offend the Wei family for Qiqi. Hence, the crowd dispersed again.

    Mu Feng, who had witnessed all of this not far away, had the worry on his face dissipate. The corners of his lips curled up. ¡°This woman is so spicy.¡±

    Wei Jin also saw Mu Feng and waved at him.

    Mu Feng walked over. Qiqi, who had been helped up by her sisters, also saw Mu Feng. Her eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Young Master Mu.¡±

    However, Mu Feng ignored her and walked to Wei Jin with a rare smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you hungry?¡±

    ¡°I want to go back.¡± Wei Jin did not want to eat anymore.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Unexpectedly, Mu Feng did not object. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and made a gentlemanly invitation.

    Wei Jin picked up her bag and walked straight in front of Mu Feng. Mu Feng was not angry and slowly followed behind her.

    After getting into the car and driving for a while, Wei Jin realized that this was not the way home at all.

    ¡°Send me home.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s voice turned cold.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll just treat you to a meal.¡± Mu Feng turned around and raised his eyebrows. In the dim evening, there was a demonic beauty mixed in.

    Wei Jin was very angry and simply ignored him. After sending Xia Wanyuan a message and location, she looked out of the window and left the back of her head to Mu Feng.

    A smile appeared in Mu Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Sit tight.¡± Then, he stepped on the elerator and instantly elerated.

    Wei Jin had never been in such a fast car before. Her heart skipped a beat for a moment, and then she could not think of anything else. She could only hear the wind in her ears and the scenery passing by the window.

 Chapter 876 - Other than the Heavy Chest, Everything Else is Light

    <h4>Chapter 876: Other than the Heavy Chest, Everything Else is Light</h4>

    Wei Jin did not ask Mu Feng to slow down, so Mu Feng maintained the speed. After driving for a long time, they finally arrived at the small courtyard of a farmer in the suburbs.

    Just as the car arrived at its destination, Mu Feng¡¯s phone rang.

    ¡°Hey, Miss Xia, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t do anything to your sister.¡±

    It was unknown what Xia Wanyuan said, but Mu Feng nodded in response, not knowing whether tough or cry. Then, he hung up the phone. Sensing Wei Jin¡¯s gaze, Mu Feng raised an eyebrow at her. ¡°Yo, Miss Wei, you know how to snitch?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Facing Mu Feng¡¯s mouth, the eloquent Wei Jin was always speechless.

    ¡°I guess you haven¡¯t eaten these before.¡± Mu Feng brought Wei Jin into the courtyard. There was a bonfire inside, and a string of barbecue items had been prepared.

    Wei Jin nced curiously at the things in the courtyard and tried her best to maintain her calm expression. However, the light from the corners of her eyes still betrayed her. She had indeed never eaten these before. Wei Jin nced at Mu Feng. She did not expect Mu Feng to be so meticulous.

    Mu Feng raised his eyebrows at her smugly. He felt that his investigation fee of hundreds of thousands of yuan was not wasted.

    He hired someone to investigate Wei Jin¡¯s history and daily preferences.

    Then, he realized that this person¡¯s life could be described as a ¡°health benchmark¡±.

    Ever since she was young, she had lived ording to the standards set by the Wei family. She had never crossed the line and never had her own preferences. The food she ate strictly followed the variousbinations of nutritionists. She had not even drunk beverages since she was young.

    Thinking of this, Mu Feng could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Have you drunk Coke before?¡±

    Receiving Wei Jin¡¯s puzzled gaze, Mu Feng gave her a thumbs up. ¡°Impressive.¡±

    For the rest of the meal, Wei Jin did not eat in peace. However, to her surprise, Mu Feng did not cross the line again. He apanied her to eat the barbecue obediently and drove her back to Qing University.

    Even when they parted ways at the end, Mu Feng was not as glib as Wei Jin had imagined. He only smiled and waved at her. ¡°Goodnight, Teacher Wei.¡±

    Wei Jin took a few steps into the house and suddenly turned around. Mu Feng had not left. He leaned against the car door and his silver hair fluttered. Seeing Wei Jin look over, Mu Feng waved at her.

    Wei Jin panicked for no reason. She turned around and did not look back.

    The car outside the courtyard only started when the lights in Wei Jin¡¯s room lit up. In the quiet night, it inexplicably tugged at one¡¯s heartstrings.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Although she felt that Mu Feng was not an unreliable person, she was still a little worried that she had misjudged and harmed Wei Jin. Hence, she hooked Jun Shiling with her foot.

    Jun Shiling was originally teaching Xiao Bao a lesson for stealing candy. When he sensed the movement, he temporarily let Xiao Bao go.

    Xiao Bao took the opportunity. ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m so tired. Goodnight, Daddy, Mommy. Goodnight, Uncle, Auntie! I¡¯m going to sleep!¡± Then, Xiao Bao slipped upstairs from the living room without waiting for Jun Shiling¡¯s response.

    ¡°Hmph, you just spoil him.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and walked over. ¡°Why are you looking for me? Don¡¯t you have your cat to apany you?¡±

    ¡°How sour.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Mu Feng is with Wei Jin. Will Wei Jin be safe?¡±

    ¡°Move that cat away from yourp and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Jun Shiling disliked this cat very much.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan carried the cat into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Hold it properly. You¡¯re not allowed to let it go. Tell me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling and the kitten looked at each other. ¡°She¡¯s safe. Don¡¯t worry, the person Old Master Mu personally brought up is not bad.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan was relieved.

    It was alreadyte and Bo Xiao and An Rao were preparing to go back. During dinner, An Rao had drunk a lot of fruit wine. At this moment, she was drunk. She greeted Xia Wanyuan in a daze and was stuffed into the car by Bo Xiao.

    ¡°So heavy.¡± Finally reaching home, Bo Xiao carried An Rao steadily upstairs. Seeing her satisfied expression, he could not help but despise her.

    ¡°Nonsense, how am I heavy? Other than my chest, everything else is very light, okay?¡± An Rao was very unconvinced.

    Bo Xiao did not know whether tough or cry at her words. He ced her on the bed and tucked An Rao¡¯s hair behind her ear. However, he kissed her pink and red face. ¡°Sleep,zy pig. You clearly went down after one cup, but you insisted that you won¡¯t get drunk after a thousand cups.¡±

    Covering An Rao with the nket, Bo Xiao stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom to shower and wipe the drunkard on the bed. Unexpectedly, just as he took a step out, his arm was grabbed by An Rao on the bed.

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to leave. We¡¯re engaged. You should sleep with me.¡±

 Chapter 877 - Weâ€™re Engaged, Whatâ€™s There to Be Afraid of?

    <h4>Chapter 877: We¡¯re Engaged, What¡¯s There to Be Afraid of?</h4>

    ¡°Shut up and sleep well.¡± Bo Xiao turned around helplessly and stuffed An Rao¡¯s hand into the nket. ¡°You¡¯ve been teasing me every day. I¡¯m so angry.¡±

    Seeing that An Rao¡¯s eyes were tightly shut and her breathing was calm, Bo Xiao thought that she must have fallen asleep. Only then did he stand up again.

    The sound of water gradually sounded in the bathroom. Bo Xiao prepared to take a quick shower and wipe An Rao¡¯s face.

    Just as the shampoo was poured into her palm, a loud sound came from outside the bathroom, followed by An Rao¡¯s sobs.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bo Xiao was anxious and went out with a towel.

    In the bedroom, An Rao had fallen down the bed at some point in time. She was holding her head with tears in her eyes. She was crying like a little doll whose candy had been snatched away. ¡°It hurts.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so stupid?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s heart ached and he was amused. He hurriedly went forward to check.

    Seeing An Rao cry so sadly, he thought that the wound was very serious. Who would have thought that it was fortunately nothing serious? After all, the wool nket on the ground was not spread for nothing.

    ¡°Alright, stop crying. Our An Rao has suffered. Get up and go to sleep,¡± Bo Xiao said as he pulled An Rao up.

    In her drunken dream, An Rao was swaying. She wanted to pull Bo Xiao¡¯s hand, but a shadow appeared in front of her and she missed. She pulled the towel off Bo Xiao.

    ¡°¡­¡± Bo Xiao stiffened. He gritted his teeth, snatched the towel from An Rao¡¯s hand, and draped it over his body. Then, he pulled her up and threw her on the bed.

    However, An Rao held onto the corner of the towel tightly.

    Bo Xiao sensed that something was wrong. He lowered his head and nced at An Rao. ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡±

    An Rao closed her eyes and did not speak, but her face turned red.

    Initially, Bo Xiao did not have much desire to flirt. However, An Rao¡¯s red face was like a fuse that ignited the fire in Bo Xiao¡¯s heart.

    Bo Xiao leaned down. ¡°Open your eyes and look at me.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s eyes rolled around for a long time before she finally opened them. Bo Xiao could clearly see the nervousness, shyness, curiosity, and confusion in them.

    The fire burned hotter.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t even taken a shower and you still want to sleep with me? Dream on.¡± Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes with a dangerous glint. Although he said those words of disdain, his body did not retreat at all.

    ¡°I¡¯m a little curious.¡± An Rao had never hidden her thoughts and emotions in front of Bo Xiao. Although she was filled with embarrassment, An Rao still looked into Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes and said it.

    ¡°What are you curious about?¡± A strange light shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. They were clearly not close in proximity, but An Rao felt that Bo Xiao¡¯s temperature must be terrifyingly high.

    ¡°I saw that the people in the novels seem to like that very much. I¡¯m just curious about what it feels like.¡± An Rao¡¯s voice became softer and softer as she spoke. The urge she had because she was drunk finally gradually dissipated under her strong shyness. An Rao wanted to cover her head with the nket.

    <i>Ahhhhhhh, what did I just say?!!! It made me look like I yearned for that!!</i>

    As expected, Bo Xiao¡¯s face was filled with smiles. ¡°Oh? That? Which one is that? Why don¡¯t I understand?¡±

    ¡°Aiya, sleep, sleep. I didn¡¯t say anything just now.¡± An Rao wanted to find a hole to hide in.

    ¡°Sleep? It¡¯ste?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes burned with anger. ¡°You already said that we¡¯re engaged. What are you afraid of?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Xiao lifted the nket. Only then did An Rao realize how tense Bo Xiao was. Although he was smiling and talking just now, he had already endured to the extreme.

 Chapter 878 - Excellent Creativity

    <h4>Chapter 878: Excellent Creativity</h4>

    An Rao was not a shy person, let alone beside Bo Xiao.

    Anyway, she had already decided that it would be Bo Xiao. An Rao snuggled into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms and said secretly, ¡°What do I need to do? Can you teach me?¡±

    These two words made Bo Xiao throw away his armor.

    ...¡­..

    ¡°What do you think? How do you feel now?¡± A heart-palpitating smell floated in the warm room. During the intermission, Bo Xiao did not forget to ask An Rao this question.

    An Rao blushed and coughed lightly. ¡°It seems like it¡¯s not bad, huh?¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Bo Xiao could not help butugh. ¡°Why are you so shameless?¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± An Rao rolled her eyes at Bo Xiao. ¡°I¡¯m just shameless with my words, unlike someone.¡±

    An Rao did not know where Bo Xiao had learned those messy methods. It was embarrassing to say it out loud, but Bo Xiao still wanted to do it.

    ¡°¡­¡± Bo Xiao looked at the sky outside the window. ¡°I think you¡¯re quite energetic.¡±

    ...¡­..

    The next afternoon, Xia Wanyuan had alreadypleted half a day of filming for the advertisement. Just as she returned to her resting ce, she received 20 messages from An Rao.

    However, among the 20 messages, the first 19 messages were filled with embarrassed expressions.

    There was only onest message. ¡°Sister, I slept with Bo Xiao. Am I amazing?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± As an experienced person, Xia Wanyuan silently took a sip of tea. Only An Rao, who could run eight hundred meters and vomit blood, wouldpare herself to Bo Xiao, who had long been trained.

    Yes, Xia Wanyuan felt that she should send some supplements to An Rao.

    ¡°Sister, where are you? Am I amazing?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not reply, An Rao asked again.

    Then, Xia Wanyuan finally replied.?<i>¡°Hehe (smiling face)¡±</i>?This was the best mocking method Xia Wanyuan had learned from theizens recently.

    Seeing the reply, An Rao cried:?<i>Not only did my sister be bad, but she also mocked me. I have no love left.?</i>

    After lunch, Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes and went to Xiu Yi¡¯s shop.

    Xia Wanyuan did not hold back when she gave money. In addition, the construction team was introduced by Ya Zi and was efficient and reliable. Xiu Yi¡¯s shop had already been renovated.

    This time, the shop used Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concept. She gave the core concept map and the other designers divided it and designed it in detail.

    Xia Wanyuan had done an analysis. The reason why embroidered-style clothes were not epted in the market was firstly because the design aesthetic was not fashionable enough, and secondly, the price was too high and not friendly for the people, so they could not walk to the side of ordinary people.

    This time, Xiu Yi used abination of panoramic ss and ancient-style ecology.

    Be it the appearance or the interior furniture, they were all in traditional styles. Afterbining ten shops, Xiu Yi waspletely like arge museum.

    Along the way, there were mountain springs and green bamboos. There was a vast desert and an immortal residence.

    Clothes piled with flowers and brocade were scattered in the middle of various small scenes, protected by transparent ss devices. The color of every piece of clothing came from the surrounding scenery. Seeing the pink flower buckle was like being in a peach forest. Seeing the brocade flutter was like seeing a fairy fly.

    There was an electronic device that automatically changed the clothes in front of each piece of clothing. If a guest was interested in a piece of clothing, they would stand in front of the disy screen. Theputer data would quickly analyze the picture and disy the photo of the guest wearing the clothes on the screen.

    Xia Wanyuan strolled from the entrance of the shop to the exit and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad.¡±

    Receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise, the manager, who worked overtime day and night to monitor the progress, finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°CEO Xia, your creativity is good.¡±

    This method ofbining sightseeing, ying, and shopping allowed people to rx and stimte everyone¡¯s shopping interest. The manager looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. He really did not know how she could design so well.

    ¡°Prepare to open in two days.¡± It had been dyed long enough.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Across the road, the Camellia brand shop had long been renovated. The clothes had been hung up for countless days, but it still had not opened for business.

    ¡°Manager, when are we opening? How many days has it been?¡± If we don¡¯t open, we won¡¯t get amission. The employees were very anxious.

    ¡°Soon, in the next few days.¡± The manager looked at the anonymous message on his phone and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

    They did not know why Director Manda insisted on opening their shop with Xiu Yi.

    Their Camellia was an international A-list brand. She had never heard of that ¡°Xiu Yi¡±. She really did not understand why they had topete with the other party.

    Although she was puzzled, the manager quickly sent the news to Director Manda in Ennd.

    The other party replied quickly. ¡°Ruin Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony. Camellia¡¯s opening ceremony must be as grand as possible.¡±

    With Manda¡¯s instructions, the manager quickly sent an invitation to the top celebrities in the entertainment industry.

    For an international A-list brand like Camellia to take the initiative to extend an olive branch to everyone, everyone was very willing to give her face.

    Hence, before the opening ceremony, there were already nearly ten Best Actors, Best Actresses, and Top Celebrities who had decided to cut the ribbon at the Camellia shop.

    <h4>Chapter 879: CEO Jun Shows Off His Love To The Entire Company</h4>

    ¡°Can you stop?¡± Although she had been crying the entire night, An Rao was in good spirits. She had woken up in the afternoon and sent Xia Wanyuan a message with a red face. After sending it, she felt embarrassed and rolled around on the bed. Bo Xiao¡¯s heart itched from her rolling around.

    ¡°My waist hurts.¡± An Rao stopped and grabbed the corner of Bo Xiao¡¯s shirt, whining coquettishly.

    ¡°Come here, I¡¯ll massage you.¡± Bo Xiao pulled her over and saw the red mark on An Rao¡¯s neck. His eyes darkened.

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao leaned over unguardedly and rested her head in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°Are you happy?¡±

    After all, they had lived together for so long. An Rao could feel that Bo Xiao had a hard time holding it in.

    Bo Xiao could tell what An Rao was thinking at a nce. He smiled and whispered into An Rao¡¯s ear, ¡°Don¡¯t you know if I¡¯m happy or not? Did I not work hard enoughst night?¡±

    An Rao shrank back from the heat of his breath. ¡°In that case, you must have been especially happy yesterday.¡±

    Bo Xiao chuckled. ¡°Oh? So, are you satisfied?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. Keep up the good work.¡± An Rao forced herself to be calm, but her clenched fists under the nket revealed her nervousness.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Bo Xiao reached out and pressed the switch. The curtains slowly closed. ¡°I applied for leave for you in the morning. Stay at home for the next three days.¡±

    ¡°???¡± An Rao was stunned. She suspected that Bo Xiao had secretly read her CEO novel.<i> Why did his speaking style sound like someone from a novel? </i>¡°Bo Xiao, you beast.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a beast.¡±

    .........

    Xiu Yi¡¯s secret was exposed. Soon, the culprit was found by Qin Shuang. It was an employee in charge of moving work in Xiu Yi who had been bribed by the shop opposite for two thousand yuan.

    ¡°CEO Xia, our opening time coincided with Camellia¡¯s family. They¡¯re having a big event. Do we need to avoid them?¡±

    They had originally nned to open the day after tomorrow, but now that they had shed with Camellia, they did not have any advantage. After all, they were an internationally famous big shot, and even the guests were so important.

    ¡°No, just the day after tomorrow. If they want to suppress us, they have to have the ability.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very confident.

    Since Xia Wanyuan had said so, Qin Shuang did not hesitate anymore and went straight to arrange the rted opening work.

    After she was done, she finally remembered An Rao and called her.

    An Rao groaned on the other end, her voice still sobbing. ¡°Sister, Bo Xiao is a beast.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was four in the afternoon the next day. It was rare that she did not refute An Rao¡¯s words. <i>Yes, he is indeed quite beastly.</i>

    ¡°Are you free the day after tomorrow? My clothing store is opening.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!!! Definitely!!¡± An Rao now felt that as long as she could leave this house, everything else was easy.

    ¡°Okay, take care. Bye.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    ¡°Hey, sister! Chat for a while more!¡± An Rao shouted for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan could no longer hear her.

    ¡°You can¡¯t take it anymore?¡± Bo Xiao hugged An Rao from behind. ¡°Didn¡¯t you read those novels quite enthusiastically every day?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± An Rao moved to the side and was quickly pulled back by Bo Xiao. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine.¡± Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t torture you anymore. Sleep for a while.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± With Bo Xiao¡¯s guarantee, An Rao turned around and snuggled into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms, smiling in satisfaction. ¡°I like sleeping with you so much.¡±

    ¡°Is sleeping a verb or a noun?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s smiling voice sounded above his head. An Rao punched him angrily. ¡°Haha, good afternoon. Sleep.¡±

    An Rao finally fell asleep in peace. She buried her entire face in Bo Xiao¡¯s chest and felt An Rao¡¯s warm breath. Bo Xiao felt his heart warming up.

    Gently kissing An Rao¡¯s hair, Bo Xiao was about to sleep with her when the message transmission at the head of the bed rang.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s heart sank.

    This was a special information transmission device in the military. There was a mission, and this noise was a high-level mission.

    Bo Xiao hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take a look at the transmission device. His gaze instantly darkened.

    He had been assigned a mission again. His intuition told him that this mission was very dangerous. If it was in the past, he would not hesitate. But now, he actually felt some fear.

    ¡°Sleep together.¡± Feeling the movement above her head, An Rao snuggled into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Okay, sleep,¡± Bo Xiao replied to An Rao naturally. He replied that he had received it and ced the transmitter back on the bed.

    An Rao¡¯s breathing gradually calmed down, but Bo Xiao, who was hugging her, did not fall asleep for a long time. He opened his eyes and looked out of the window quietly, thinking about something.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was rare to get off work early today. When Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor, it was only half-past four in the afternoon.

    It was rare for Jun Shiling to have to work overtime today. A big client hade from abroad. He had to finish his meeting at thepany and leave China afterwards. Jun Shiling had no choice but to call Xia Wanyuan and tell her that he was not going home for dinner.

    Xia Wanyuan stayed in the study to draw for a while before suddenly walking out. ¡°Mother Li, let me cook dinner.¡±

    Everyone in the manor knew how pampered Jun Shiling treated Xia Wanyuan. No one dared to let her do it herself. If she was injured, they did not dare to imagine how angry Jun Shiling would be.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll make dinner for Jun Shiling and send it over. Let me do it.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan had already said so, everyone let her do it. However, everyone stood at the side as if they were facing a formidable enemy, afraid that something would happen to Xia Wanyuan.

    At six in the afternoon, after work, the Jun Corporation provided dinner for the employees. Hence, although it was time to get off work, there were still arge number of people in thepany¡¯s canteen.

    Everyone was eating when someone suddenly eximed, ¡°F*ck, is that CEO Jun?!!¡±

    ¡°Impossible, how could CEO Jun...¡± Before he could finish speaking, everyone saw Jun Shiling walk into the most eye-catching spot in the canteen with a bag.

    Then, he slowly took out a te of braised pork ribs, a grilledmb chop, a bowl of steamed shrimp eggs, and a te of vegetables.

    The originally noisy cafeteria fell silent. Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Jun Shiling eat in the cafeteria.

    Sensing the silence around him, Jun Shiling looked up. ¡°Continue eating.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Everyone hurriedly buried their heads in their food, but their eyes were still fixed on Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling had never eaten at the corporation¡¯s canteen. This was the first time many people had seen him in person.

    Everyone was curious why Jun Shiling hade to the canteen to eat on a whim today. They discussed softly.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is CEO Jun here to check on the people?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. I only know that he¡¯s so handsome!!! My legs are weak. I feel that I¡¯ve seen so many celebrities, but none of them are as good-looking as him. Boohoo, there¡¯s such an outstanding man in the world. Amazing!¡±

    Jun Shiling took a bite and suddenly began to care for his subordinate. He looked at a male subordinate diagonally opposite him. ¡°Is the food in the canteen okay?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very delicious!!! It¡¯s even better than my food at home!¡± The subordinate hurriedly expressed his loyalty to thepany.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I¡¯m not used to the food in the canteen. My wife¡¯s food suits me better.¡±

 Chapter 880 - Waiting Is a Beautiful Word

    <h4>Chapter 880: Waiting Is a Beautiful Word</h4>

    The male subordinate, who had been single for 27 years and had been staying upte all year round, did not know how to answer Jun Shiling.

    In the end, he could only force a smile. ¡°Ha-ha-ha, Mrs. Jun is so virtuous and treats you so well.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Indeed, she cares about me more. She¡¯s afraid that I won¡¯t be used to the food here.¡±

    The surrounding employees thought to themselves,?<i>Hehe, CEO Jun, when have you ever eaten in the canteen??</i>

    However, on the surface, everyone looked envious. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re too lucky. Mrs. Jun must love you very much!!¡±

    Jun Shiling began to enjoy Xia Wanyuan¡¯s food in a good mood.

    However, the others in the canteen no longer had any appetite.?<i>The canteen is not good today. I have to give a bad review. Why does the food smell like dog food??</i>

    After finishing the four dishes, Jun Shiling finally stood up. He was very considerate of his subordinates. ¡°Eat slowly. If you have any objections to the canteen, you can report to them.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay!¡± Everyone watched Jun Shiling walk out of the canteen. No matter how they looked at him, they felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s back exuded the aura of a victor.

    Just as Jun Shiling left, arge group of Weibo posts from the employees of the Jun Corporation appeared in front of everyone.

    ¡°You won¡¯t believe who I met at the cafeteria today!! CEO Jun!! In person!! He¡¯s super handsome!¡±

    [ Amazing, I also want to go to the Jun Corporation and meet Jun Shiling by chance. Unfortunately, the Jun Corporation doesn¡¯t like me. ]

    [Wow, Jun Shiling actually went to the canteen to eat. I always thought that the richest man¡¯s meal was a simple Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.]

    [Hehe, I¡¯m also an employee of the Jun Corporation. You don¡¯t know what kind of blow we suffered in the afternoon. CEO Jun isn¡¯t here to eat. He¡¯s here to show off that his wife sent him a love dinner.]

    More and more employees appeared to exin how Jun Shiling abused the public and how heart-wrenching this way of showing off their love was.

    The passers-by andizens expressed their doubts.

    <i>Would the dignified head of the Jun Corporation be so childish??</i>

    However, not long after, Jun Shiling¡¯stest update told everyone the answer.?<i>Yes.</i>

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°I couldn¡¯t go home because I was working overtime. My wife specially made dinner. It¡¯s so delicious.¡±

    The first four photos were of extremely tempting dishes. The fifth photo was of white rice that was sparkling and full. Thest photo was of four tes that did not even have soup left and a clean bowl.

    [¡­ This food makes me hungry. It smells so good. Oh my god, I can already smell the cumin on thatmb chop. Can¡¯t single people live?]

    [Let me say this softly. CEO Jun, who shows off his love so publicly, looks a little silly. Will I be assassinated by Jun Shiling?]

    [ Hahahaha, I agree with you. No matter how cold a man is, he will be so childish when he meets someone he likes. CEO Jun obviously likes his wife very much. Lemon surrounds me. ]

    Lying on the sofa, Xia Wanyuan flipped through theizens¡¯ments and shook her head with a smile.?<i>Why is this person so childish? He even showed off to thepany.?</i>

    ¡°Mommy, can you y with me for a while?¡± Xiao Bao came out of nowhere andy in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to get up when Tang Yin called.

    ¡°Hello, Tang Yin.¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about your clothing store opening? It¡¯s the day after tomorrow, right? Fu Li and I will definitely go.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll waste your time.¡± Xia Wanyuan originally wanted to call Tang Yin, but considering that she was preparing for the wedding, she decided not to in the end.

    ¡°What are you saying? No matter how busy I am, I have to support you.¡± If not for Chen Yun¡¯s slip of the tongue, she would not have known about this.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not decline and agreed on a time with Tang Yin.

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan yed with Xiao Bao for a while. Even after she coaxed him to sleep, Jun Shiling was still not back.

    Jun Shiling had an extremely long meeting and only returned to the manor at midnight.

    Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room. In a daze, she heard the sound of a car stopping outside. She yawned and stood up, wrapping herself in a nket as she walked out the door.

    Jun Shiling got out of the car. Just as he turned around, he saw Xia Wanyuan, wrapped in a nket, walking out of the warm light. On thiste autumn night, the ce where Xia Wanyuan was standing seemed to have a ball of light, making one¡¯s heart skip a beat.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly walked up to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to wait for me?¡±

    ¡°Hug.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned, her eyes watery as she reached out to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling leaned over to fill her up and kissed her on the forehead. Then, he pulled her into the building. The temperature outside was too low, and he was worried that Xia Wanyuan would catch a cold.

    ¡°Don¡¯t wait for me when I work overtime next time. Sleep by yourself first.¡± Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan to the bed. ¡°Sleep quickly. It¡¯s veryte. I¡¯ll wash up when you fall asleep.¡±

    ¡°No, go wash up quickly. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan was already very tired, but she still forced herself to stay awake.

    Jun Shiling could only quickly wash up, then crawl under the nket and kiss Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°You have to wait for me no matter howte it is?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and nodded. ¡°No matter howte youe back, I¡¯ll wait for you at home.¡±

    No matter how warm the nket was, it could not be warmer than Jun Shiling¡¯s current mood. If not for the fact that it was toote, Jun Shiling really wanted to let Xia Wanyuan feel how much he loved her over and over again.

    ¡°Goodnight, baby.¡± In the end, Jun Shiling only said this.

    ¡°Mm~ Night.¡± Xia Wanyuan finally fell asleep in relief.

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Rao thought that Bo Xiao would continue to torture her, but when she woke up, Bo Xiao was not beside her. Instead, he was sitting by the window. The sky was still dark, and Bo Xiao¡¯s handsome side profile was reflected on the window, looking inexplicably bleak.

    He had a cigarette in his hand. The cigarette butt was clearly extinguished. Bo Xiao spat out a mouthful of smoke, thinking about something.

    An Rao had never seen Bo Xiao smoke before. At this moment, the expression on Bo Xiao¡¯s face made her feel a little unfamiliar. ¡°Bo Xiao, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Only then did Bo Xiao realize that An Rao was already awake. He hurriedly extinguished the cigarette andy back beside An Rao.

    The faint smell of tobo came from Bo Xiao. An Rao felt very flustered. Her voice was trembling. ¡°Bo Xiao.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao buried his face in An Rao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I want to tell my superior that I want to retire.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Although An Rao did not know Bo Xiao¡¯s identity very well, she knew that at his level, very few people retired directly.

    ]Bo Xiao hesitated for a moment before telling An Rao the news he had received.

    ¡°Then, aren¡¯t you running away?¡± An Rao clenched her fists nervously. Bo Xiao¡¯s retirement was equivalent to telling everyone that he was a deserter.

    An Rao recalled Bo Xiao¡¯s expression when he was awarded the military title. At that time, his eyes were bright.

    Bo Xiao was silent for a long time. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a deserter.¡±

    ¡°For me?¡± An Rao was not stupid. She knew how proud Bo Xiao was to be able to protect his country. It was because of her that Bo Xiao gave up everything.

    Bo Xiao tightened his grip on An Rao. ¡°In the past, I wasn¡¯t afraid of anything. I even felt that sacrificing my life for my country was an honor, but I¡¯m afraid now.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s eyes were already filled with tears. She tried her best to control her emotions. ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

 Chapter 881 - Wanting a Child Someone Familiar Returning to the Country

    <h4>Chapter 881: Wanting a Child Someone Familiar Returning to the Country</h4>

    Even though An Rao tried her best to suppress her tears, Bo Xiao felt the heat on his arm.

    ¡°No, I¡¯ve already written a report. The old man still wants me to inherit his family assets. When the timees, I¡¯ll inherit the Bo family and let you be the richdy.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s tone was teasing, but An Rao could feel his internal struggle.

    The way Bo Xiao leaned in the darkness and blew out smoke rings was deeply engraved in An Rao¡¯s heart.

    An Rao turned around and looked straight into Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. Those fox-like eyes that always had a smile in them were dim. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a rich wife. I want you to have a clear conscience.¡±

    She knew that Bo Xiao did not like to take over the Bo family¡¯s business and wanted to fight alongside his teammates to protect the country behind him. That was what Bo Xiao really wanted to do.

    ¡°But this will make you suffer.¡± Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s hair.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m proud of you.¡± An Rao leaned back into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m serious. You look really handsome in your military uniform, more handsome than anyone else.¡±

    That was the handsomeness enhanced by the light of faith. Nothing in the world couldpare to it.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Bo Xiao kissed An Rao¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Why are you apologizing? It¡¯s just a while.¡± An Rao¡¯s tone was light as sheforted Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Bo Xiao adjusted his mentality. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Get up. You¡¯ve been lying down for the entire day.¡±

    Bo Xiao was about to get up and order something for An Rao when An Rao grabbed his arm.

    An Rao whispered into Bo Xiao¡¯s ear, ¡°Let¡¯s have a child. That way, someone will apany me at home.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s body stiffened for a moment. An Rao¡¯s words warmed his heart. ¡°Child?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nodded and leaned into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms with a smile. ¡°Do you like boys or girls?¡±

    ¡°I like both.¡± There was no need to say anything else. They were all drowned in the rapidly rising temperature in the house.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was the opening day of Xiu Yi.

    Perhaps even the heavens were enough to care for her. On this day, the sky was clear, and the clouds were blue.

    ¡°What time is the opening ceremony?¡± Jun Shiling asked casually after sending Xia Wanyuan to the school gate.

    However, Xia Wanyuan, who was already very familiar with Jun Shiling¡¯s routine, looked up at him. ¡°You want toe?¡±

    ¡°Why? I can¡¯t go? This is considered a shared property between husband and wife, right?¡± Jun Shiling was very self-righteous after his thoughts were exposed.

    ¡°Come then.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not argue with Jun Shiling. ¡°It starts from three in the afternoon. You don¡¯t have to pick me up, I¡¯ll go myself.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in satisfaction. ¡°Go to work.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had just gotten out of the car when Jun Shiling received a call.

    After hearing the report on the phone, a dark glint shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°We can start moving.¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s order, at the same time, the hidden personnel in the capital began to close the.

    After a long period of investigation, these people hiding in the darkness finally revealed some clues.

    And these traces were the key to eliminating these dangerous people.

    The Wei family¡¯s courtyard.

    ¡°Boss, bad news!¡±

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Yu Qian, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, frowned slightly.

    ¡°Our contact lines have all been breached!!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Yu Qian finally opened his eyes. There was no fluctuation in his indifferent eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°So what if it¡¯s breached? Prepare yourself and leave with me.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Yu Qian tapped his index finger gently on hisp. He had originallye to China personally to take over the Wei family on Wei Zimu¡¯s behalf. Such a century-old family was extremely influential in China and would be of great help to him in expanding the market in China.

    However, it seemed like there was no hope for this matter. After all, Xia Wanyuan, who had appeared out of nowhere, should be the sessor in Matriarch Wei¡¯s heart.

    Most importantly, he could not attack Xia Wanyuan. There were too many protective forces around her.

    However, Yu Qian did not feel regretful. At least, he understood one thing.

    That was Jun Shiling¡¯s background identity.

    ¡°China is really interesting.¡± In the end, Yu Qian only said this sentence.

    At the same time, in the undergroundboratory in Continent F, Wei Zimu, whose ten fingers were cold and bruised, was finally released.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say three months? Why are you letting me out so early? What is Yu Qian doing?¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s first thought was whether Yu Qian would hurt Xia Wanyuan and directly questioned the person in front of him.

    Jayce looked at Wei Zimu fiercely. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can casually call the boss by his name just because you have the same blood as him. Be careful that you won¡¯t know how you die one day.¡±

    ¡°Give me the phone! I want to call him!¡± Wei Zimu took his phone and called Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian seemed to know what Wei Zimu was going to say. After picking up the phone, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything to her. You can continue to return to the Wei family. Set off immediately. The ne has been prepared for you.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian hung up the phone. Although Wei Zimu was puzzled why Yu Qian would do this, he was looking forward to returning to China.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Qing University campus, Xia Wanyuan had already finished her morning sses and was about to go out for lunch when Wei Jin walked in with a bamboo basket.

    ¡°Cousin, I made some lunch myself. If you don¡¯t mind, eat with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then it would be impolite to decline.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate and epted Wei Jin¡¯s good intentions.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know how to cook.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that the Wei family had nurtured Wei Jin ording to the path of a youngdy. She had thought that the Wei family would not let Wei Jin¡¯s hands be stained with spring water.

    ¡°I do.¡± Wei Jin swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking. ¡°As an outstanding marriage tool, being able to cook and coax my husband¡¯s family is something I¡¯ve been taught since I was young.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chopsticks paused and she could not help but take a closer look at Wei Jin. ¡°Are you resentful?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wei Jin shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ve always known what my fate would be. Without expectations, I won¡¯t be disappointed.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps you can try to have some expectations,¡± Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion. She did not understand what Xia Wanyuan meant.

    Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to say more and only smiled meaningfully. ¡°There¡¯s light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps you¡¯ll discover a different life.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for yourfort, Cousin.¡± Wei Jin thought that Xia Wanyuan wasforting her and had no other thoughts.

    ¡°Yo, did I make it for lunch? Can you give me something to eat? Just treat it as paying for today¡¯s errand fees, okay?¡± A familiar teasing voice suddenly came from behind.

    Wei Jin stopped eating and frowned unhappily.

    <i>Why is this young master of the Mu family so persistent? Didn¡¯t he eat with me yesterday? Why is he pestering me again today??</i>

 Chapter 882 - Peerless Duo Extreme Differences

    <h4>Chapter 882: Peerless Duo Extreme Differences</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan put a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth and nced at Wei Jin, who clearly did not look good. A smile shed across her eyes.

    Perhaps even Wei Jin herself did not realize that when she met Mu Feng, she would actually show obvious emotional fluctuations. This was not an easy thing for a youngdy of the Wei family who had trained to have stable emotions for a long time.

    ¡°Wow, it smells so good. Can I have a bite?¡± Mu Feng¡¯s smiling voice sounded above her head.

    If it was any other time, Wei Jin would not take Mu Feng seriously, but now, in front of Xia Wanyuan, Wei Jin felt that Mu Feng was too much.

    ¡°Mr. Mu, I¡¯m eating with my cousin. I already epted your invitation to eat with you yesterday. Isn¡¯t it too ungentlemanly to pester me here today?¡± After saying that, Wei Jin felt that her tone was a little too harsh and bit her lower lip unnaturally.

    Mu Feng was not angry. He smiled at Wei Jin and pointed at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°As her cousin, don¡¯t you know that I¡¯m her personal stylist? She¡¯s attending an opening ceremony in the afternoon. I¡¯m here to help dress her up.¡±

    After Mu Feng finished speaking, he even blinked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Boss, you have to help me rify, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s true. Mu Feng is my stylist.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± It was rare for Wei Jin to be speechless. A peach color began to spread from her cheeks until her entire neck was dyed red. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Mu Feng waved his hand, but there was a hint of grievance in his expression. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m just a little hungry. I came to work on an empty stomach and was scolded.¡±

    Wei Jin blushed. ¡°My house isn¡¯t far. There¡¯s still food. I¡¯ll go get it.¡± With that, she left without waiting for Mu Feng¡¯s answer. There was an inexplicable panic in her back.

    Watching Wei Jin leave, Mu Feng fiddled with the silver hair on his shoulder. ¡°She¡¯s quite cute.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Wei Jin is a good girl. If you dare to mess around, I¡¯ll be the first to not let you off.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, how can I not listen to my future cousin?¡± Mu Feng smiled cheekily, looking very unreliable.

    Not long after, Wei Jin walked over with the remaining food. These were originally for her to eat at night, but now they were all for Mu Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Mu Feng gave her face. ¡°This meat is really tender. The vegetables are stir-fried fresh, and the rice is steamed until it¡¯s loose and soft. Wow, why is even the vegetable soup so delicious? I¡¯ve never eaten such delicious food in my life.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± No matter how calm Wei Jin was, she could not stand Mu Feng¡¯s flowery praise. Hearing that Mu Feng even wanted to praise the shape of the onions, ginger, and garlic in the dish, her face silently blushed.

    The Mu family¡¯s status in the capital was on par with the Wei family. If not for Xia Wanyuan saying it herself, Wei Jin would not have thought that Mu Feng was actually Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stylist.

    After all, her impression of Mu Feng was that he was an ignorant and ipetent rich second-generation heir.

    However, when she really saw Mu Feng do Xia Wanyuan¡¯s makeup, Wei Jin believed that this unrestrained young master really had some skills.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was already very beautiful, after Mu Feng¡¯s skills, her originally 100 points of beauty and temperament could be raised to 120 points.

    ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re dressed so beautifully. What are you doing in the afternoon?¡± Although Wei Jin did not say it, she felt very close to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Xiu Yi has an opening ceremony in the afternoon. I¡¯m going to attend it.¡± Mu Feng had applied ssical makeup for Xia Wanyuan. As he spoke, the jade ornament on his head tinkled. ¡°Do you want to go with me?¡±

    ¡°Can I?¡± Wei Jin¡¯s eyes lit up. Beforeing to Beijing, she had really never left the house. She was very curious about the outside world.

    ¡°Of course. Coincidentally, I have a spare set of clothes. If you¡¯re not busy,e with me.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s temperament was actually verypatible with Xiu Yi. If she could go, it would be equivalent to a walking advertisement. Xia Wanyuan weed her.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin nodded, her eyes shining. Mu Feng noticed the light in her eyes and the corners of his lips curled up.

    ¡°Let me help you put on some makeup.¡± After designing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin.

    ¡°Ah? There¡¯s no need. I put on light makeup this morning.¡± Wei Jin was a little embarrassed to ask Mu Feng to help her draw.

    ¡°Sit down.¡± Mu Feng walked up to her with his toolbox and began his work.

    Unexpectedly, Mu Feng, who was serious and professional when he was working, did not offend her.

    Wei Jin closed her eyes. A strand of Mu Feng¡¯s silver hair fluttered down andnded on Wei Jin¡¯s cheek, causing it to itch. Wei Jin could not help but open her eyes and meet Mu Feng¡¯s bright ck pupils.

    Wei Jin instantly held her breath and swallowed nervously.

    Mu Feng smiled at her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll put on your lipstick.¡±

    Wei Jin let Mu Feng move around her face stiffly.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Mu Feng finally moved away from her and took a few steps back to size her up seriously. He nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Beautiful.¡±

    Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan unnaturally. Xia Wanyuan smiled at her approvingly. ¡°Very beautiful.¡±

    Wei Jin was already very beautiful, while Mu Feng disyed her empty temperament to the extreme.

    Standing in front of the mirror, Wei Jin was shocked. She had always known that she was good-looking, but today, she was still stunned by her reflection in the mirror.

    There was clearly no trace of makeup, but she felt that Mu Feng had poured autumn ripples into her eyes, as if the rain of Jiangnan had enveloped her.

    Wei Jin knew that Mu Feng was looking at her intently not far away, but this time, she actually felt that Mu Feng¡¯s gaze was very hot, making her not dare to look back.

    At half-past two in the afternoon, Camellia¡¯s official Weibo directly opened a live-stream channel.

    Looking at the guest list released by Camellia¡¯s family, theizens were stunned.

    [F*ck, did half of the entertainment industry move here?!]

    [A big shot is a big shot. Awesome!]

    [What the f*ck? So many Best Actors and Best Actresses, and so many popr celebrities. Don¡¯t tell me there¡¯s a new product released today? Squat, squat, squat. Although I can¡¯t afford it, it doesn¡¯t affect me from watching.]

    Arge number ofizens were attracted to Camellia¡¯s official Weibo. The poprity of the official Weibo live-stream quickly soared to the top of the entire Weibo rankings.

    At the same time, Xiu Yi¡¯s official Weibo ount also opened a channel for the live broadcast of the opening ceremony.

    However,pared to the huge momentum of the Camellia family, Xiu Yi¡¯s live-stream room seemed extremely cold. Only some old customers helped them steadily rankst on Weibo¡¯s trending list.

 Chapter 883 - A Big Opening Gift to Shock Everyone

    <h4>Chapter 883: A Big Opening Gift to Shock Everyone</h4>

    Under the persuasion of Director Manda, the headquarters of the Camellia brand used its global publicity channel. As a portion of the new Camellia products would be revealed in the capital¡¯s gship store this year, the opening ceremony of the capital¡¯s gship store attracted the attention of the global fashion industry.

    It was gradually approaching three in the afternoon, and there were more and more people in the Weibo live-stream.

    [I¡¯m here to see Ruan Yingying. Will Ruan Yingying appear in Camellia¡¯s new product today? I¡¯m looking forward to it!!]

    I¡¯m here for Jiang Qi. Ahhhhh, Mommy loves you!!]

    [The camera just turned around. The shop opposite seems to be holding an opening ceremony too. Whose clothing shop is so pitiful to open on the same day as Camellia? Isn¡¯t that courting death?]

    Apart from the poprity on the Inte, the venue was also filled with people.

    Camellia¡¯s gship store was located in the business center. In addition to the early publicity, there would be arge number of big-name celebritiesing to help today. Hence, the entrance of the gship store was filled with passers-by.

    ¡°Move, move, don¡¯t block the door!!¡± Camellia¡¯s gship store would not allow so many people to enter the shop. In order to maintain order at the scene, arge number of security guards began to move, chasing the onlookers outside to other ces, wanting to leave arge space at the door.

    ¡°Go away!¡± There were too many people. The staff worked hard for a long time, but the crowd did not move at all. They became a little anxious. Some security guards even pushed people.

    ¡°Are you chasing people away at the opening ceremony?! It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t let them in, but we can¡¯t even look?!¡± A student staggered from the push and almost lost her bnce as sheined.

    ¡°Look?¡± Camellia¡¯s staff nced at the student who was dressed simply. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to afford anything in here in your lifetime. What¡¯s there to look at?¡±

    ¡°Why are you like this? Aren¡¯t your words too much!!¡± Li Ke and her roommates had just entered university and wanted toe here to watch themotion. Who would have thought that they would be mocked like this? Their eyes immediately turned red from grievance.

    ¡°Li Ke, let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t argue with them. These people look down on us. They think they¡¯re rich just because they sell luxury goods.¡± The roommates who came out to shop walked over to stop the fight.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Li Ke rubbed her arm that the security guard had pushed and followed the others out.

    Arge number of people who were originally squeezed at the entrance of Camellia were finally evacuated, leaving a passage for the VIPs to walk.

    The crowd, who had been chased out by the security guards, did not know where to go. In addition, they were filled with anger and had vengeful thoughts. When they saw the cold and cheerless opening ceremony of Xiu Yi,

    Someone shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go opposite and support them. I don¡¯t think they¡¯ll chase us away.¡±

    Soon, someone echoed. In any case, they were just watching the show. Wherever they went, they were watching. Hence, everyone went in the direction of Xiu Yi.

    ¡°Li Ke, let¡¯s go over and take a look. The Xiu Yi opposite looks quite elegant. Anyway, we¡¯re already here.¡± Seeing that everyone around was walking towards the other side, her roommates wanted to go over and take a look.

    Li Ke nced across. That was not the core area of the business circle. It looked quite deserted. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go and see what was going on.

    Xiu Yi was indeed very quiet. As there was no publicity in advance, the market was not familiar with this brand. Before Li Ke and the rest arrived, there were not many people at the door.

    Previously, when they were at Camellia, no one noticed it until they really came to Xiu Yi¡¯s door. Only then did everyone see that Xiu Yi¡¯s shop upied such arge area. Just from the size of the shop, it wasparable to 20 Camellia.

    ¡°Oh my god, such arge piece ofnd. No wonder they don¡¯t promote it. They¡¯re rich.¡± Everyone looked at the elegant and simple shop and could not help but sigh.

    Camellia, who was opposite them, was already screaming. Celebrities were starting to enter the venue. They could hear the deafening cheers from across the road.

    Everyone hesitated for a moment. Xiu Yi did not even open the door. The other side was so lively that everyone wanted to join in the fun.

    At this moment, ten carved doors in a row opened.

    ¡°Wee to Xiu Yi.¡± A group of elegant staff filed out with a kind smile on their faces and exquisite wooden boxes in their hands.

    Everyone thought that the box in the staff¡¯s hands was used for decoration. Unexpectedly, the staff walked up to the guests one by one.

    ¡°The first thousand guests today have gifts.¡± The beautifuldy had a kind smile on her face. Her smile was sweet and had dimples.

    Li Ke took the gift and looked at the orchid embroidered on the beautifuldy in a daze. She sighed in her heart.?<i>How beautiful.?</i>

    ¡°They even brought gifts. Not bad. What did they give?¡± Everyone looked at the wooden boxes beside them and then at their own. The wooden boxes in everyone¡¯s hands actually looked different.

    ¡°It¡¯s probably some toothpaste or toilet paper. It¡¯s usually like this. However, they didn¡¯t chase us away and even gave us gifts. It¡¯s much better than the camellia opposite,¡± the customer said as she opened the wooden box. Then, she shouted, ¡°F*ck!!!¡±

    There was no toothpaste or toilet paper in the box. A round sheep was embroidered on a beautiful beige cashmere scarf. It was the Year of the Sheep and it had a good meaning. Beside it was a small but exquisite brocade bag. There was a faint fragrance in the box. It was a piece of handmade soap with exquisite patterns.

    Opening the scarf, there was a pair of very beautiful porcin cups and a shiny hairpin.

    When the person beside her saw these, she hurriedly opened his box. The configuration was the same, but be it the patterns embroidered on the scarf, the brocade bag, cup, or hairpin, they were all different.

    Each gift is unique.

    ¡°Oh my god! This cup is Ci Yi¡¯s out-of-print style! It can¡¯t be bought anymore!!!¡± ¡°So beautiful!! Your hairpin is so beautiful!¡± ¡°Your scarf is so cute!!!¡±

    The atmosphere immediately heated up. No one had expected that the gift for this unknown shop¡¯s opening ceremony would be so generous.

    Not to mention how precious the Ci Yi cup was and how valuable the cashmere scarf was, just a small brocade bag looked extremely exquisite.

    ¡°A thousand copies, right?! Everyone present has one??¡± While everyone was excited, they suddenly remembered what the staff had said and hurriedly called their rtives.

    <i>Only a fool would reject such a good gift for free!!!?</i>

    <h4>Chapter 884: CEO Jun Princess Appears Together</h4>

    Hence, many people in Beijing that day received calls from their rtives and friends. Listening to their rtives¡¯ excited invitations on the other end of the phone, everyone was baffled.<i>?How precious could the gift from the opening ceremony be? How could it make them so excited??</i>

    Those who had family and friends were busy calling their rtives and friends. Those who did not have rtives and friends, like Li Ke and the other university students in Beijing, were busy socializing on Weibo and showing off while helping Xiu Yi attract customers.

    ¡°Let me tell you, I was originally going to the Camellia shop to join in the fun today, but they looked down on us, who can¡¯t afford it, and chased us out, so we came to this shop called Xiu Yi opposite.

    Without further ado!! Let me show you this greeting gift from his family. It¡¯s free for the first thousand people. It¡¯s too amazing!!! Those in Beijing, hurry up ande!!! Really! My roommate said that this set of things can¡¯t be taken down without 5,000 yuan!¡±

    Li Ke carefully took photos of every gift and uploaded them to Weibo. Her four roommates even ced the gifts together and took a huge photo.

    [F*ck! Blogger, are you serious?! Where is the address?! This hairpin is so beautiful! I just spent 20,000 yuan yesterday to buy a hairpin. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s as beautiful as this. The embroidery on this scarf is also so beautiful!]

    [It¡¯s fake, right? Camellia¡¯s family is so rich, but they wouldn¡¯t even give a gift like this. Did she know that she couldn¡¯t beat Camellia¡¯s opening ceremony and came out to attract guests?]

    [The person in front, I guarantee with my head that if it¡¯s fake, you¡¯ll beat me to death. When my mother called me and told me, I didn¡¯t believe it. I¡¯m already at the scene and I¡¯ve received it. I heard that there are still five hundred gifts left. The real thing is even more beautiful!! I¡¯m even willing to spend ten thousand yuan to buy it!]

    Originally, this Weibo post was only spreading on a small scale, but after Xia Wanyuan liked it, this Weibo post became popr.

    The fans were stunned.?<i>Did Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand slip or something? Why did she suddenly like a passerby¡¯s Weibo?</i>

    However, in the next second, ¡°Wan Shi Studio¡± posted on Weibo.

    @ Wan Shi Studio: ¡°Thank you @ Xiu Yi for your invitation. See you at the opening ceremony.¡±

    The fans were in an uproar. The fans in Beijing hurriedly packed their things and prepared to rush to the venue. The fans who were not in Beijing tapped into Xiu Yi¡¯s live-stream and went to wait for Xia Wanyuan.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio announced her artist¡¯s schedule, An Rao quickly posted on Weibo.

    @ An Rao: ¡°Thank you @ Xiu Yi for your invitation. Your clothes are too beautiful! I¡¯ve chosen for a long time. I¡¯m looking forward to the opening ceremony ~¡±

    Almost at the same time, Fu Li, Yan Ci, and Qin Wu posted simr Weibo posts.

    Xuan Sheng, who was jokingly called ¡°Hubby¡±, also said that he would attend Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony.

    Theizens had yet to recover from this series of godly actions.

    The official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation, which could be said to be the coldest on Weibo, actually posted a Weibo post.

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°Thank you @ Xiu Yi for the invitation. The head of the Jun Corporation @ Jun Shiling will attend.¡±

    [I can¡¯t help but wonder if this Jun Corporation can still be called the coldest official Weibo in history.]

    [Jun Shiling personally attending the opening ceremony. I want to know what kind of god the boss of this shop is.]

    [To be able to make so many immortal big shots attend the opening ceremony together, I suddenly feel that the opening gift is not fake. F*ck, is it toote for me to rush over now? Forget it, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯m going to collect the gift at the venue!]

    Other than theizens, the people who were squeezed at the entrance of the Camellia Citibank store also knew about this news. They looked at the gift and then at the distance.

    Everyone looked at each other and instantly ran away, afraid that they would not be able to snatch the remaining gifts if they werete.

    Everyone had a herd mentality. The people who were trying their best to squeeze closer to the door began to feel puzzled when they saw the group running opposite.

    After being told about the opening gift and the guests who attended,

    other than the fans who were still holding on, the others began to run towards Xiu Yi.

    The security guards looked at the empty door in confusion.?<i>What was going on???</i>

    More and more people began to pour in at Xiu Yi¡¯s side. However, because Xiu Yi had cleared an entire row of shops and it was not the coremercial district, there was arge square at the entrance that could amodate arge number of people.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the thousand gifts for today have been distributed.¡± After distributing the gifts, the staff exined to the guests.

    Some people were about to leave when a huge dragon head suddenly poked out from the roof of the shop, causing everyone to exim.

    In the next second, a dragon head popped out, and a huge golden dragon spiraled out of the roof. Gongs and drums suddenly sounded around the square, and nine mighty golden lions jumped out from nowhere.

    The huge bouquet that was originally suspended in the air exploded, and a ribbon and petals fell.

    The atmosphere immediately became lively. The guests who were about to leave were attracted by the lively scene and stopped in their tracks.

    Amidst the cheers andughter, the staff spread out a red carpet from the door. At this moment, cars gradually drove in from the side of the square.

    ¡°Ahhh, my husband!!! Yan Ci!!! Oh my god! Why is Yan Ci here?!¡± A scream came from the crowd. Everyone¡¯s gaze was attracted by the figure not far away.

    Yan Ci, who was known as the ¡°noble young master of the entertainment industry¡±, had a faint smile on his face. His every move reminded people of the words ¡°gentleman like jade¡±.

    Yan Ci waved at everyone, and the cheers became even more enthusiastic.

    Yan Ci had just stepped onto the red carpet when Fu Li walked out of the car holding Tang Yin¡¯s hand.

    Many of the middle-aged people present were former fans of Fu Li. Now that they saw Fu Li, who was filled with happiness, some of them could not help but cry.

    Amidst everyone¡¯s cheers, Yan Ci, Fu Li and Tang Yin chatted as they walked the red carpet.

    Not long after, An Rao, who was wearing a red cheongsam and a windbreaker, appeared at the scene holding Bo Xiao¡¯s arm. After carefully dressing up, An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with charm.

    Bo Xiao nced at her and stopped to tighten An Rao¡¯s windbreaker. He even helped her button her windbreaker before hugging her waist and walking in.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s actions not only attracted ridicule from the audience, but it was also recorded by the camera and disyed in the live-stream.

    Theizens looked at Bo Xiao¡¯s possessive gaze and the charming and shy An Rao in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. They silently covered their eyes that were blinded by this wave of love.

    The camera followed Bo Xiao and An Rao forward. Suddenly, An Rao stopped and turned around. The cheers beside her instantly erupted.

    Theizens in the live-stream guessed that it must be Xia Wanyuan!!

    The next second, the scene changed.

    The audience in the live-stream were stunned.

 Chapter 885 - Amazing the Crowd; Photo and Ribbon-Cutting

    <h4>Chapter 885: Amazing the Crowd; Photo and Ribbon-Cutting</h4>

    In the camera, two beautiful figures were advancing side by side.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a moon-white satin dress that draped over her snow-white shoulders. Her beautiful hair was tied up with a silver jade hairpin, and her slender waist was grasped.

    Wei Jin, who was walking side by side with her, had silver threads wrapped around her light-colored skirt. Her waist was covered in a light-colored gauze belt, and she was slender and fair. The elegant orchids embroidered on her sleeves entuated her ten fingers that were like green onions. The tassels by her earlobe were light and danced in the wind.

    Xia Wanyuan was noble and elegant, like a lotus flower on the peak of a snow mountain, standing upright.

    Wei Jin was gentle and quiet, like the grass under the moonlight, exuding a light fragrance.

    While everyone was still stunned, Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin had already walked onto the red carpet.

    [!!! Beauty!!! So many beauties!!! ]

    [Amazing, do all good-looking people y with good-looking people?! Where did this beauty beside Xia Wanyuane from?!]

    [What a beautifuldy. Her clothes are so beautiful too. Boohoo, I want to fight with Nuwa today. There are so many beautifuldies. Why can¡¯t I be one too?]

    An Rao and Bo Xiao had already walked to the front of the stage and were waving at Xia Wanyuan from the other end of the red carpet.

    When Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin walked up to her, An Rao nced at Wei Jin and looked a little unhappy. She wrinkled her nose and secretly pulled Xia Wanyuan over. ¡°Sister, do you have a new lover?¡±

    Such a beautiful youngdy matched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s temperament so well. She admitted that she was a little jealous.?<i>Did my sister not want me anymore??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°This is my cousin. Her name is Wei Jin.¡±

    Only then did An Rao¡¯s frown ease a little.?<i>Rtives? That¡¯s good.?</i>An Rao generously extended her hand to Wei Jin. ¡°Hello, my name is An Rao.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Miss An. My name is Wei Jin.¡± Wei Jin smiled gently, like a spring breeze. An Rao suddenly felt that she could love her cousin as well, as she epted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family.

    Just as the few of them were talking, there was a hugemotion in the crowd. Everyone looked towards the edge of the square. A bright red sports car was speeding and drawing half a circle on the ground. The huge friction even caused a few sparks. The car door opened and a man with unruly and flirtatious eyes casually put on a shirt and got out. It was Xuan Sheng.

    Thements in the live-stream had already started calling him ¡°Hubby¡±.

    Xuan Sheng casually curled his lips and raised his peach blossom eyes. However, he did not walk straight to the red carpet. Instead, he looked into the distance.

    The camera followed Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze and slid over. A ck limousine was slowly driving over.

    The number ofments instantly soared.

    The car door opened and a cold side profile appeared in the camera.

    The chauffeur opened the car door. Jun Shiling was dressed in an exquisite suit and a ck knee-length windbreaker. His thin lips were pursed slightly, and his perfect facial features were meticulously forged by the heavens. Every step he took carried a powerful aura.

    ][Ahhh!!! The domineering CEO who walked out of a novel!!! This aura!!! Kneel down to the big shot!]

    [Xuan Sheng, forgive me. My love has changed. I think Jun Shiling is really amazing. This is the husband in my heart!]

    The scene was already so shocking that the people present did not even blink.

    It was not until Jun Shiling walked down the red carpet that everyone reacted.

    ¡°Hey, did you see that? He¡¯s too handsome. It was worth it toe today!! It was worth it to see a god like Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling in my life!¡± The roommate shook Li Ke¡¯s arm excitedly.

    Li Ke also looked like she had just woken up from a dream. ¡°I feel that the male lead in the novel I readst night has walked out. Why do these people look so good?¡±

    On the stage at the end of the red carpet, Xia Wanyuan stood quietly. She only nced at Jun Shiling when he went on stage.

    Jun Shiling wanted Xia Wanyuan to take another look, but she was already talking to An Rao. Jun Shiling retracted his gaze and hid the disappointment in his eyes.

    ¡°CEO Jun, nice to meet you.¡± Xuan Sheng, who had witnessed everything, walked forward and raised his chin slightly. There was an unknown smile in his peach blossom eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that CEO Jun knows how to raise flowers. I hope you¡¯re a person who cherishes flowers.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xuan Sheng with a deep gaze. The coldness on his body seemed to have intensified. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. You¡¯re just a partner. What doesn¡¯t belong to you, don¡¯t think about it.¡±

    ¡°You saved mest time. I should thank you.¡± Xuan Sheng touched the prayer beads on his wrist. ¡°But I want to remind CEO Jun that there are many people in this world who love flowers. If you don¡¯t cherish them, the others are willing to protect them with their lives.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± Jun Shiling did not refute Xuan Sheng. He understood what Xuan Sheng meant, but with him, there was no possibility of not cherishing Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Jun, please stand in the middle.¡± Just as Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng were standing opposite each other and the surroundings were frozen, Qin Shuang resisted the pressure and invited Jun Shiling to cut the ribbon.

    ¡°Okay, please stand here.¡± Qin Shuang led Jun Shiling to the middle seat. As one of the bosses, Xuan Sheng stood on the left. Qin Shuang knew that Xia Wanyuan was the boss behind the scenes, so she arranged for her to stand on Jun Shiling¡¯s right. The others arranged themselves one by one.

    The huge red silk was pulled open and covered everyone¡¯s waists. Xia Wanyuan had been standing calmly, but her eyebrows twitched when she was caught off guard.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand had grabbed her at some point and was gently rubbing the back of her hand. Xia Wanyuan wanted to shake it off, but she could not. She could only let Jun Shiling do whatever he wanted.

    Xuan Sheng had been looking at Xia Wanyuan and noticed her unnaturalness. His gaze naturally fell and he saw the two of them holding hands. Xuan Sheng lowered his eyes and covered them.

    ¡°The ribbon-cutting ceremony begins!¡± As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, everyone cut the red silk in front of them.

    The colorful petals fell from the sky, the golden dragon danced, and the golden lion leaped up. Everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts. Xia Wanyuan looked at the audience below the stage and smiled in satisfaction.

    After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, everyone was still unsatisfied. However, they knew that the opening ceremony was over. Looking at the style of the embroidered clothes, it was mainly high-end products and would not let so many people enter the shop.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and find something to eat. The show is over.¡±

    ¡°Mm, but I really want to see what the embroidered clothes look like. The clothes on Xia Wanyuan and the rest look so beautiful. I wonder if they were embroidered.¡± Li Ke looked longingly at the embroidered door, but she knew in her heart that she could not afford the clothes inside.

    ¡°Sigh, forget it. Let¡¯s go online and watch someone else¡¯s evaluationter.¡± Her roommates were about to leave.

    At this moment, Qin Shuang said on stage, ¡°Today, Xiu Yi is open to the entire venue. Everyone, please enter ording to the staff¡¯s instructions. There will be a fashionunchter. We will choose a lucky audience to enter and watch.¡±

    At this moment, Qin Shuang said on stage, ¡°Today, Xiu Yi is open to the entire venue. Everyone, please enter ording to the staff¡¯s instructions. There will be a fashionunchter. We will choose a lucky audience to enter and watch.¡±

    Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked around at the crowd.?<i>There were so many people, are they sure that we could all go in and take a look?? Why did we not believe it??</i>

    However, in the next second, more staff surged out and handed out electronic cards with numbers to everyone. With this electronic card, everyone could contact the corresponding service personnel in real time and receive the most timely service.

    Xia Wanyuan and the rest had already left the tform and entered the shop. Under themand of the staff, the people in the square formed ten rows.

    Under the guidance of the staff, everyone entered the shop from ten doors.

    ¡°Hiss!¡± Everyone who entered gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.

    <i>Was this a paradise or a clothing store??</i>

    From the outside, it looked like a huge building that upied an entire row of shops. After entering, they realized that it was even bigger inside. Furthermore, there was more than one floor. Along the wooden stairs, there were two more floors.

    The frosty jade rabbit, the desert oasis, the misty rain in Jiangnan, the vast grasnd, and all kinds of beautiful scenery greeted them, In the middle of these beautiful scenery, there were clothes of the corresponding style and color.

    Everyone stood in front of the huge electronic change screen and looked at the beautiful scenery. It was as if they had really traveled thousands of miles, picked the misty rain of Jiangnan, and walked through the border of the desert.

    The hostdy in charge of the live broadcast could not move her eyes from the moment she entered the clothing store. After all, which woman could resist the explosive impact of beautiful clothes?)

    The cameraman showed the scene in the clothing store to the audience alone.

    [Hahahaha, Miss Host, look at us!!! We still need your exnation!!! Do you still want your sry!]

    [Boohoo, I regret it so much. I should have skipped ss to go Xiu Yi. These clothes are so beautiful. I really want to feel them on the spot. Just looking at them from the camera makes me feel that they¡¯re extremely beautiful.]

    [I can already imagine what I¡¯ll look like in these clothes. Alright, goodbye, everyone. I¡¯m going to dream with these clothes.]

    It turned out that no matter how much public rtions publicity money or media reports there was, it could notpare to the spontaneous publicity power of the people.

    Everyone who had been to the venue excitedly posted the gifts they had received, the guests they had seen, and the interior of the clothing store they had visited on various social media.

    Needless to say, Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng, An Rao, Yan Ci, Fu Li, and the other traffic bombs were enough to make theizens envious.

    For a time, the top ten trending topics on Weibo were all rted to Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony. The top ten topics that Camellia brand had spent a lot of publicity money to barely squeeze into were surpassed by Xiu Yi.

    Camellia¡¯s gship store maintained its high-end style as usual. After weing the celebrities into the store, they blocked everyone outside. The fans wanted to enter but were stopped.

    Everyone could not see their idol and were attracted by the various videos online. A bunch of people began to leave the Camellia shop.

    In less than ten minutes, there was no one at the entrance of the Camellia shop. On the other hand, at the entrance of Xiu Yi, there were dragons and lions dancing. The red g fluttered and there was a sea of people. It looked very festive.

    ¡°Manager, look at the shop opposite. They snatched our customers away.¡± The shop assistant could not stand this scene and reported to the manager worriedly.

    ¡°Ignore them. It¡¯s just a small trash brand. We still have a global fashion press conferenceter. They don¡¯t deserve to bepared to us.¡± The manager of Camellia had been busy and didn¡¯t know what news there was on the Inte. Hence, he scoffed at Xiu Yi and felt that it was just an unpresentable small brand.

    The shop assistant wanted to say something but hesitated. However, the manager waved his hand and dismissed the shop assistant. He made a call. ¡°Ms. Manda, our fashion press conference is ready. You can contact the headquarters now.¡±

    Just as Camellia¡¯s manager had said, although it seemed that Camellia had a lot of customers now, in the international fashion world, everyone was looking forward to the release of Camellia¡¯s new winter product. Many fashion media in the country did not follow the crowd and were waiting for Camellia to open.

    Xiu Yi also had its first fashion press conference today.

    The spacious hall was filled with red plums and white snow. The runway in the middle was shining with light.

    ¡°Hey, our luck is too good. We can even get tickets to the show. It¡¯s too awesome!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re so close to CEO Jun and the rest! I think the first thing we should do after watching the show is to buy a lottery ticket.¡± Li Ke held the ticket in her hand and looked around at the decorations in the show with her roommates. Her eyes were filled with excitement.

    In Camellia¡¯s live-stream, the press conference had already begun. The models gradually walked onto the runway in their new winter clothes. The style of the clothes continued Camellia¡¯s elegant intellectuality as usual.

    Manda nodded in satisfaction as she watched Camellia¡¯s winter show in Ennd. This time, she had to open the market in China.

    The international fashion industry was also very impressed by Camellia¡¯s performance. The show had just begun, but all sorts of praises had already started flowing in.

    In Xiu Yi¡¯s live-stream, there were also many fans who came to promote. Camellia¡¯s fashion show had always been the benchmark in the industry. Everyone was a little shaken and wanted to watch Camellia¡¯s show beforeing to see Xiu Yi.

    However, at this moment, melodious music sounded. The lights in the embroidered runway dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on the runway.

    The red plum blossoms on the runway were colorful, and the snow danced in the sky. The originally sparkling runway had be a mountain path piled with snow.

    Suddenly,

    The sound of snow stepping could be heard in the venue. The door opened and Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a ck windbreaker, walked out.

    The audience in the live-stream, who were about to run away, immediately stopped in their tracks.<i>?Forget it, Xiu Yi was still ruthless. They had a king bomb at the beginning. Who could withstand this?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing an apricot-white sweater. The crane on the sweater was picked out with silver thread, making her look taller. The ck windbreaker was exquisitely cut, and there was a belt around her waist. It was embroidered with snow mountains, and the bottom was made of golden thread, neutralizing the cold and hard style of the entire ck windbreaker.

    <h4>Chapter 887: The Prospect of a Sessful Business Empire</h4>

    Snowkes that looked like goose feathersnded on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders. The jade earrings reflected the surrounding snow as they walked, and the light could notpare to the brilliance in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    The audience was silent. It was as if one could only hear the sound of snow falling on the plum blossoms.

    Jun Shiling hid in the darkness and looked at the seductive Xia Wanyuan on the runway, his deep eyes shockingly bright.

    Halfway through, Wei Jin walked out. She was wearing a pure white down jacket.

    At the mention of down jackets, everyone would often think of bloated ones. However, the one on Wei Jin directly made the warm and beautiful clothes to the extreme.

    On the back of the pure white down jacket, there were carefully embroidered orchids and red plums on the chest. When theynded on the pure white down jacket, it was as if she was wearing an entire plum garden.

    Everyone thought that these two people had already exploded and that the rest would definitely not be exciting. However, they did not expect that every piece of clothing was unique, exquisite, and beautiful.

    The audience, who had wanted to see Xia Wanyuan, stayed in the live-stream magically.

    No one in the world of fashion had noticed this Chinese brand. While everyone was evaluating the Camellia brand, something big happened.

    Master Carl, who could be said to be a ¡°godfather¡± in the world of fashion, suddenly posted a post praising this winter show called ¡°Xiu Yi¡±.

    Carl had a huge influence on the fashion industry. Industry insiders followed the livestream channel that Master Carl liked and watched the show of this unknown Chinese brand.

    The more they looked at it, the more they felt that it was interesting.

    The elegance of the Eastern style collided with the modern romance of the West, making one appreciate a unique beauty.

    Simple but not boring, elegant and magnanimous, intellectual and charming,

    Everyone could not help but be curious.?<i>Which international designer had ¡°Xiu Yi¡± invited to help them design such a beautiful dress??</i>

    Looking at the code name ¡°X¡± of the chief designer, everyone was confused.

    <i>There didn¡¯t seem to be such a person in the fashion industry, right? Could it be a new show? But this perfect control of beauty and excellent understanding of color collision didn¡¯t look like a newbie at all.</i>

    At this moment, the domestic fashion industry was also discussing. This mysterious ¡°X¡± had never appeared before. Now that he had shocked the world, the fashion industry would probably be in turmoil again.

    To ordinaryizens, it did not matter if the designer was famous or not. The key was that the clothes looked good and were warm. It was very suitable for everyone to wear in their daily lives.

    After the show ended, there was an overwhelming discussion about the clothes at the show.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trench coat and Wei Jin¡¯s down jacket had once be the most popr items. Orders from all over the world were about to explode Xiu Yi¡¯s warehouse.

    Xiu Yi went from an unknown brand to a popr brand in a day.

    Lying in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan smiled until her eyes curved into crescents as she watched Qin Shuang report the increase in orders every ten minutes.

    ¡°You¡¯re so happy.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was happy, Jun Shiling smiled.

    ¡°I was afraid that everyone would not like the clothes I had just learned, so I changed my name. I didn¡¯t expect so many people to like my design.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up with a happy smile in her eyes.

    ¡°More people will like your design.¡± Jun Shiling was very sure.

    Xia Wanyuan had an extremely high painting foundation to begin with. She had used the human structure and colors to the extreme. Over the past few days, she had been supplementing her knowledge of modern clothing design. He was not surprised that she could seed.

    ¡°You keep praising me. I¡¯m getting arrogant.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed by Jun Shiling¡¯s praise.

    ¡°Kiss me.¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head shyly, causing Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes to overflow with a doting smile. He leaned back in his seat and looked at Xia Wanyuan leisurely.

    Xia Wanyuan raised her head and looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome face. She was very happy. She leaned forward and pecked him, but Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her into his arms, only stopping after asking for a lot.

    ¡°Just now, An Rao told me that Bo Xiao is going overseas soon. He seems to have a mission. Will it be very dangerous?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of what An Rao had mentioned to her and asked.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be very dangerous.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foreheads were pressed against each other, their noses intertwined. ¡°If I had a mission and knew it was dangerous, would you stop me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment, then shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯ll support you.¡±

    Love may be bewitching.

    However, protecting the country and fighting the enemy passionately was a glory engraved in a man¡¯s bones.

    However, Xia Wanyuan continued, ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    <i>If you are in the mortal world, I will experience the mortal world with you.?</i>

    <i>If you go to war, I will go with you.</i>

    Whether it was in her previous life or this life, these were Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts.

    Jun Shiling smiled and almost sighed. ¡°You¡­¡±

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan would say this, but when he really heard this, he could not help but feel excited.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°What are you doing?! Have you eaten all the public rtions money?!¡± In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Li smashed hisptop in anger.

    He knew that Xuan Sheng had shares in Xiu Yi. Xuan Sheng had even invested all his funds in this project.

    He had hired so many fake reviewers to make sure that Xiu Yi could not even open for business. Who would have thought that this ¡°Xiu Yi¡± could use everyone¡¯s reputation to make his millions of public rtions fees go down the drain?

    ¡°Dig directly and dig out all the Xia family¡¯s partners, no matter the price.¡± After these few times, Xuan Li finally understood that this Xia Wanyuan was really strange. She could always reverse the situation.

    He did not want to work with Xia Wanyuan anymore. This time, he would destroy Xia Wanyuan at all costs. Only by destroying Xia Wanyuan could he destroy Xuan Sheng.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Afterpleting the opening ceremony, Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood. She had never stepped into the modern clothing industry, and now that she had obtained everyone¡¯s approval, she was even more confident in fashion design.

    Initially, she only wanted to have a clothing store to test the waters. Now that she saw that the response was so good, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ambition began to swell.

    She wanted to turn China¡¯s traditional culture into aplete product andbine it into aplete business system. At that time, the huge economic benefits brought by culture would be immeasurable.

    Jun Shiling loved to see her smile like this. He sat beside her dotingly and watched Xia Wanyuan smile as she counted the orders that had increased exponentially.

    Back at the manor, Xia Wanyuan took a shower and just came out of the bathroom. She looked at the time and immediately went to the study barefoot.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, my television drama is on today. Watch it with me.¡± Xia Wanyuan was still holding a towel and drying her half-dried hair.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly turned off theputer and walked forward to pick her up. ¡°You¡¯re fooling around again. Why aren¡¯t you even wearing shoes?¡±

    ¡°I was in a hurry and forgot.¡± Jun Shiling wrapped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs around his waist and carried her forward.

    Uncle Wang was originally walking upstairs with two bowls of white fungus soup. Seeing the two of them in this position, he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around. His face was red, simr to the color of the red dates in the bowl.

    <i>Aiya, this young man was really too passionate. He did not consider that even old people would be shy.</i>

    <h4>Chapter 888: Continuing to Push Your Luck</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan also sensed the movements of the servant not far away. She looked down and saw that her legs were wrapped around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face immediately heated up and she struggled to get down.

    No matter how she messed around in the bedroom, there were only the two of them. Now that the servant saw this, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was too inappropriate.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was low and even clearly hoarse. The hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist pressed even tighter. ¡°They¡¯ve already left. If you move again, don¡¯t watch the television dramater.¡±

    Feeling Jun Shiling¡¯s body lines, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s earlobes were as red as blood, but she did not dare to move anymore and allowed Jun Shiling to carry her back to the bedroom.

    ¡°Quick, turn on the television. It¡¯s starting.¡± Once she entered the bedroom, before Jun Shiling could do anything else, Xia Wanyuan rolled onto the bed and wrapped herself in the nket.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and did not say anything. He helped Xia Wanyuan turn on the television.

    The time was just right for the start of the television drama.

    Mi Mi¡¯s low voice murmured, as if it carried the prosperity of old Shanghai. The dance hall where the stars gathered, the gorgeous ball, and the exquisite western-style building gradually unfolded a luxurious painting in front of everyone.

    Suddenly, there was an explosion. Smoke rose and the cold moon was like frost. The female voice that was originally murmuring was like an unsheathed sword that had the sharpness to point at the enemy.

    The gold and silver-d ¡°red roses¡± on the beach instantly turned into valiant ¡°ice thorns¡±. The university teacher who had once preached on the podium had also be a traveler in the dark.

    Just the beginning attracted everyone¡¯s interest.

    [This song is really nice. Who sang it? The previous part was too immersive. I feel like I¡¯ve already flirted with all the big shots on the Shanghai beach in a cheongsam.]

    [The texture of this opening is really not bad. I hope the plot won¡¯t copse and maintain this standard.]

    [ Without further ado!! Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m here!! Glutinous rice balls will always love you ~ ]

    Jun Shiling happened to push open the door and enter. He held a warm bag in one hand and a wooden te in the other.

    ¡°Cover your feet.¡± Jun Shiling stuffed the warm bag under the nket. ¡°Don¡¯t walk barefoot on the floor next time. What if you catch a cold?¡±

    ]Xia Wanyuan was not a pampered person, but Jun Shiling treated her too well.

    Xia Wanyuan raised her chin slightly and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I don¡¯t want the warm bag. Cover it for me.¡±

    Jun Shiling helplessly took out the warm bag from the nket and threw it on the sofa. He sat beside Xia Wanyuan and ced her foot on hisp.

    ¡°Are you satisfied?¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pulled the wooden te over. It was filled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite snacks. ¡°What do you want to eat? Pick one yourself.¡±

    ¡°Pick one for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed her luck for the second time and even opened her mouth. ¡°Ah.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Give me some benefits.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no benefit. If you don¡¯t give it to me, forget it.¡± For the third time, Xia Wanyuan pushed her luck and turned to watch the television drama seriously.

    At this moment, the screen was already covered by a dense barrage ofments.

    In the middle of the bustling dance hall, Qin Manyue, who was wearing a peony cheongsam, was undoubtedly the focus of the entire venue. Her dark brows were slightly raised, and she had an ambiguous charm. Her gaze could make all the men in Shanghai go crazy.

    Xia Wanyuan bit the beef jerky that had been fed to her mouth. She turned around and saw Jun Shiling looking at her helplessly. ¡°Eat.¡±

    ¡°I want to drink water.¡± She pushed her luck for the fourth time.

    Jun Shiling patiently took a cup from the side and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. The water was warm and had a faint red date smell.

    After eating and drinking her fill, Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder in satisfaction.

    Jun Shiling picked up the document beside him and looked at it seriously. Only when Xia Wanyuan appeared did he look up. He could not be bothered to look at anything else.

    However, ten minutester, Jun Shiling never looked up again.

    ¡°Is my drama not good?¡± Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    ¡°It¡¯s good.¡± Jun Shiling held a fountain pen and wrote on the document, but he did not look up.

    ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you watching it?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re acting as a couple with that celebrity with the surname Yan just because I don¡¯t watch television dramas.¡± It was already the limit to sit here and watch television with Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling couldn¡¯t stand it if she wanted him to watch Xia Wanyuan act with someone else.

    ¡°Jealous.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and did not say anything else. She let Jun Shiling handle his work while she continued to watch television.

    Amidst the cries of the audience, Yan Ci, who was wearing a long robe and gold-rimmed sses, slowly walked over from the camera with two books.

    The ginkgo leaf quietly brushed past his shoulder, taking away a wisp of book fragrance. His eyes were as beautiful as a painting, gentle in the autumn.

    ¡°Sir, can you help me pick up my gloves?¡± A car stopped by the roadside and a beautiful face appeared by the window. Qin Manyue was dressed in a ck dress, revealing her fair neck and shoulders, attracting the attention of everyone.

    The elegant gentleman bent down to pick up the glove and handed it to Qin Manyue.

    ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± Qin Manyue¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. Her painted fingertips gently slid across the back of his hand, and the elegant gentleman¡¯s handsome face instantly flushed red.

    ¡°Miss, you¡¯re too polite.¡± A hint of panic shed across the elegant man¡¯s eyes, but his good upbringing made him abide by the etiquette of a modest gentleman.

    Qin Manyue stopped talking and sized up the elegant gentleman a few times. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and her soft voice was a little dazed. The moment she opened her mouth, it was as if she could seduce a person¡¯s soul. ¡°Shanghai is so big. I¡¯ve never seen someone as handsome as you.¡±

    This woman was warm and bold, so straightforward that no one could resist her. However, Qin Manyue stopped teasing this teacher and raised her wrist to take a look. ¡°Let¡¯s go, chauffeur. Young Master Lin is waiting for me to eat.¡±

    The car slowly disappeared from Chu Pingjiang¡¯s sight.

    He finally lowered his head and reached out to rub the spot on the back of his hand where Qin Manyue had brushed past. There was still a hint of shyness on his ears, but his lowered eyes had an unfathomable light.

 Chapter 889 - Iâ€™ll Cry and Hater Become a Fan

    <h4>Chapter 889: I¡¯ll Cry and Hater Be a Fan</h4>

    This was the first time Qin Manyue and Chu Pingjiang met.

    Xia Wanyuan was extremely enchanting and Yan Ci was as humble as jade. Just this first encounter had caused the number ofments to increase by several times. The poprity of the discussion about television dramas on the Inte was constantly rising.

    The tform responsible for monitoring the data could already predict that ¡°Moon As Frost¡± would be the biggest dark horse this year.

    ¡°Not bad. You even took a fancy to him.¡± Jun Shiling, who had been focused on reading the documents just now, had unknowingly raised his head. When he saw the lines of matchingments on the bullet screen, his eyes narrowed slightly.

    Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and hooked it gently. ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree not to be angry? It¡¯s just acting.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart itched from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s teasing. He held her hand. ¡°Then coax me.¡±

    Helplessness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She flipped over and sat on Jun Shiling¡¯sp. Jun Shiling reached out and wrapped his arm around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist.

    ¡°You¡¯re not jealous anymore, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan kissed Jun Shiling¡¯s right cheek and leaned on his shoulder. ¡°Hug me and watch.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart had already melted from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s kitten-like reliance on him. How could he say anything else? He tightened his arms around Xia Wanyuan and lowered his head to kiss her. ¡°Okay.¡±

    The production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had originally aimed to create a high-quality drama. In addition, with the investment of the Jun Corporation, the construction of various scenes, the realistic restoration of the props, and the exquisite elegance of the clothes, they had all followed the highest budget. They really spent money like water.

    Even Director Li Heng was shocked when he saw the cost in the end. It was five times more than the budget. What shocked him even more was that the Jun Corporation gave money so readily. If not for his old age, he would have suspected that someone in the Jun Corporation had taken a liking to him.

    The final effect of such a huge cost was astonishing.

    Although the television drama had just begun, the audience could already feel the sincerity of the production team.

    In just one episode, she had changed her appearance ten times. There was no need to mention the stunning Xia Wanyuan. Even the supporting roles and extras of the production team had been carefully prepared. They hadpletely integrated into the era a hundred years ago and had a heavy historical aura.

    The most amazing thing was that every character in the show seemed to have walked out of a novel.

    The fiery red-lipped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with charm. The humble gentleman Yan Ci¡¯s voice was filled with gentleness. The other characters were also portrayed vividly by the actors.

    At the end of the short episode, during the middle of themercial, Xia Wanyuan went on Weibo to take a look.

    ¡°Moon As Frost¡±pletely exploded.

    On the trending list, five of the top ten were rted to ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    In the top ten, the second was the topic of ¡°Qin Manyue and Chu Pingjiang¡¯s first meeting¡±.

    Manyizens who had never seen a television drama before were instantly aroused after seeing the video of Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci¡¯s scene.

    [These two people¡¯s looks¡­ Mommy, my phone is about to explode!!]

    [What¡¯s the name of this show? Thest man smiled so terrifyingly. I feel like he¡¯s not a real teacher. This female lead is so beautiful. Oh my god, when did the entertainment industry have such a beautiful female artiste!]

    [The one in front! This drama is called ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯! The female lead is called Xia Wanyuan. Ahhh, I never dreamed that our Yuan Yuan¡¯s appearance in this drama would be so beautiful! What is a red rose that can make Shanghai beach go crazy?! This is it!]

    Other than the scene of Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci meeting for the first time, the scenes of Xia Wanyuan swaying her waist and walking at the ball, smoking and blowing out smoke rings, Yan Ci walking out of the sunlight in a long robe, Yan Ci lowering his head and smiling with a sharp glint in his eyes, and so on were all cut out by the fans.

    Countless passers-by were attracted to watch television dramas after watching these clips. By the time the second episode of the television drama began, the number of viewers had already shown a steep trend.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think coaxing is enough.¡± Looking at the charming Xia Wanyuan on the television, Jun Shiling was jealous. Xia Wanyuan was too good-looking. He did not want anyone to see her.

    ¡°You, didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t angry?¡± Xia Wanyuan punched Jun Shiling angrily.

    However, seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s frown, Xia Wanyuan thought that if Jun Shiling were to film a television drama with another woman, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to stand it either. She reached out and rubbed the spot where she had hit Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I¡¯m not angry. I can adjust myself.¡± Although Jun Shiling said this, there was a hint of grievance in the corners of his eyes, making Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ache andugh.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, her eyes sparkling. ¡°It¡¯s the weekend tomorrow. I¡¯ll let you torture me tonight.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t do this. It makes me look like I only want to do this every day.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly.

    ¡°Oh.¡± A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. The tip of her tongue swept across Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°You really don¡¯t want it?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s body stiffened from this blow and he grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist helplessly.

    Xia Wanyuan was now more open in front of him than before.

    He was both happy and annoyed. Originally, Xia Wanyuan could seduce him without doing anything, but now, Xia Wanyuan was like a little vixen. Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, ¡°Don¡¯t cryter.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll just cry.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked. ¡°Don¡¯t you like hearing me cry and call you Hubby?¡±

    ¡°Hiss.¡± Jun Shiling took a deep breath, and his eyes were instantly swallowed by the mes.

    [fuzzy]His precious wife seemed to have learned bad things.

    In the end, just as the opening theme of the second episode came out, Jun Shiling turned off the television in the bedroom.

    The bright light did not go out overnight.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up the next day, it was already two in the afternoon.

    After a day and night of fermentation, ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had already reached the point of enthusiastic discussion on the Inte. Whether it was the costume transformation in the television drama or the actor¡¯s plot, every one of them was discussed enthusiastically by theizens.

    However, very awkwardly,

    Such a heated discussion, but the number one trending topic on Weibo had always been ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    After all, ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±, which gathered all kinds of popr actors and directors, was a popr drama that everyone in the industry thought highly of.

    [¡­ I¡¯m surrounded by people discussing ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± is too awkward. No one is watching it.]

    [I went to take a look at ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±. The promised big production is only so-so. I¡¯m afraid the budget is all for the actors¡¯ remuneration.]

    [Pfft, she¡¯s just a small actress who relied on Yan Ci to increase her poprity. How can Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans be so arrogant? If not for Yan Ci joining this drama, who would watch it?]

    Arge number of popr actors had gathered at ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±. The fans of these actors could not afford to offend a top-notch popr fan like Yan Ci, so they could only target Xia Wanyuan.

    However, something magical happened.

    Originally, the anti-fans were going to screenshot Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ugly photos in Yue Rushuang¡¯s television drama to spread her scandals. In the end, they were inexplicably charmed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    In the real-time square on Weibo, there was a group of ¡°haters who turned into fans¡±.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan group, Sunset Glow¡¯s old fans were about to roll up their sleeves and fight with the anti-fans, but they realized that they did not have to do anything.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was too hardworking.

 Chapter 890 - Weâ€™re Married~

    <h4>Chapter 890: We¡¯re Married~</h4>

    All the Sunset fans:?<i>Forget it, let¡¯s continue to retire. Yuan Yuan is right. She doesn¡¯t need fans to do anything. After all, she is someone who can conquer everything with her talent and beauty.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had yet to see everything on the Inte. What she was thinking about now was whether she should bother with Jun Shiling today.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Jun Shiling walked in energetically with sunlight.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°You said you wanted me to torture you yesterday.¡± Jun Shiling walked to the bed and helped Xia Wanyuan up. ¡°Madam¡¯s flexibility has indeed improved. Not bad, work harder.¡±

    ¡°Bastard.¡± Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth. It was rare for her to scold someone.

    She wanted him to torture her, but he was like a tireless person.?<i>How could he torture her for the entire night?</i>

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m a jerk.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I¡¯m not going to work today. I¡¯ll apany you at home.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan supported her waist and decided to ignore Jun Shiling for a long time.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Wretched girl, where are you staying? Let me tell you,e to the hotel and look for me immediately. Otherwise, I¡¯ll expose you to the media and let others see how you want to marry another man without caring about your parents¡¯ opinions.¡±

    When she finally got through to An Rao, Mother An scolded her.

    If An Lin had not taken the initiative to call her, she would not have thought that her two daughters would be like this.

    An Rao had not officially told them that she was about to marry Bo Xiao. What pained her the most was that An Lin, their proudest daughter, had actually gotten pregnant before marriage.

    Mother An was filled with regret.<i>?I shouldn¡¯t have let An Line to the capital back then. She had learned bad things from An Rao!?</i>

    An Rao held the phone in confusion. ¡°Mom, what are you doing in Beijing?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve already led An Lin astray!! Why are you still asking me why I¡¯m here?!!¡± Mother An¡¯s voice rose. ¡°You wretched girl, get over here quickly. I¡¯ll wait for you at the hotel. I can¡¯t contact An Lin anymore. Come with me to find her.¡±

    Even though An Rao had told herself many times not to have any expectations for Mother An and the rest, she could not hide her disappointment when she heard this. ¡°Mom, how did I lead An Lin astray?¡±

    ¡°You always look like a vixen. If not for the paternity test, your father and I wouldn¡¯t have believed that you were our biological child. An Lin was so obedient in the past! If not for her copying you, why would she have a child out of wedlock!¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± An Rao gripped her phone tightly. ¡°Then go find your good daughter yourself.¡±

    With that, An Rao hung up.

    Bo Xiao entered with an apple in his hand. Just as he was about to ask An Rao if she wanted to eat it, he saw An Rao¡¯s teary eyes and was shocked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Boohoo.¡± An Rao did not speak and kept crying. Bo Xiao hurriedly went forward to coax her.

    After hearing An Rao¡¯s intermittentints, Bo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Who has your household register?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s with me. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Back then, Mother An had stopped An Rao from entering the entertainment industry. When An Rao escaped from home, she had stolen the household register.

    ¡°Take it. Let¡¯s go register our marriage.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao stopped crying.<i>?Isn¡¯t my progress with Bo Xiao a little too fast???</i>

    ¡°Are you going to take it or not?¡± Bo Xiao nced sideways at An Rao, looking like he would not let her off if she said no.

    ¡°I will.¡± An Rao nodded and suddenly jumped up. ¡°I was already extremely ugly when you proposed. This time, I want to dress up beautifully when I register my marriage!!¡±

    An hourter, the meticulously dressed An Rao held Bo Xiao¡¯s arm and walked out.

    ¡°Am I good-looking?¡± Bo Xiao was tall, and An Rao held his arm as if she was hanging on him.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already asked 32 times. Pretty, pretty.¡± Bo Xiao had a disdainful and speechless expression, but he still repeated to An Rao that she was pretty.

    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re very handsome too! I like you too much!¡± An Rao looked up at Bo Xiao. No matter how sad she was, Bo Xiao could always make her happy quickly.

    ¡°Silly.¡± The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up. He held An Rao¡¯s hand and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau under everyone¡¯s gaze.

    The staff didn¡¯t usually go online, so she only felt that the two people in front of her were exceptionally good-looking. It was rare to see such a good-looking couple, so her eyes widened. ¡°Hello, are you here to register your marriage?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao nodded and turned to look at An Rao. His eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

    ¡°Okay, fill in the form here.¡± The staff handed the form to Bo Xiao and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    She looked up and saw that the entire hall had fallen silent. They were looking at the couple in front of her.

    ¡°It¡¯s filled.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s voice sounded.

    ]Oh, okay. Please take some ID photos.¡±

    Following the staff¡¯s guidance, Bo Xiao brought An Rao through the process step by step.

    The moment the red book was handed to her, An Rao suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Bo Xiao took the marriage certificate from her hand and ced it in his pocket. He kissed her cheek. ¡°Wifey.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s unexpected address made An Rao¡¯s face turn red. She looked around and saw that everyone was looking at the two of them. An Rao¡¯s face turned even redder and she could not help but cover her face with her hand. ¡°Stop calling me that blindly.¡±

    ¡°How am I calling blindly?¡± Bo Xiao pulled the shy An Rao into his arms, his eyes gentle. ¡°We¡¯re married, openly.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back. There are so many people here.¡± An Rao could not stand the gazes on her and urged Bo Xiao to go back quickly.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao held An Rao¡¯s hand and walked out.

    The sky was especially blue today, with white clouds floating. Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, rows of ginkgo trees hugged the alley. asionally, leaves would gentlynd on the newlyweds, sending them the best blessings.

    After escaping from everyone¡¯s gazes, the blush on An Rao¡¯s face dissipated. She looked at Bo Xiao excitedly. ¡°We registered our marriage!!¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Bo Xiao gently scratched her nose. ¡°The legitimate and upright Mrs. Bo.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so happy!¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with diamonds as she pulled Bo Xiao and jumped around like a child. Bo Xiao said that An Rao was silly, but he allowed An Rao to pull him around.

    Some passer-by who did not know what was going on passed by them and were infected by the joy on their bodies. She took photos of the two of them jumping and running forward and posted them online.

    ¡°I walked past the path outside the Civil Affairs Bureau today. It was as if I saw the most beautiful thing about love.¡±

    The passer-by did not expect that just by returning from a meal, countlessments, likes, and private messages had already flooded her Weibo.

    <h4>Chapter 891: Talk about Everything Compatibility</h4>

    The passer-by¡¯s Weibo post only captured their backs. At first, everyone was only sighing at the beauty of love.

    Until a staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau secretly uploaded a photo. In the photo, An Rao was touching up her makeup. Bo Xiao, whose back was facing her, was looking at the marriage certificate in his hand and smiling secretly.

    ¡°I met an especially good-looking newlywed couple today. After registering their marriage, I saw the man putting the marriage certificate into his pocket with a meaningless expression. I thought he didn¡¯t care. In the end, when the woman was touching up her makeup, the man secretly turned around and looked at the marriage certificate with a smile. Today is also a day to witness love!¡±

    [This outfit!! Ahhh!! The male and female leads who were jumping around outside the Civil Affairs Bureau are Bo Xiao and An Rao!!]

    [Bo Xiao¡¯s smile. I¡¯m dead. He dotes on her too much. I¡¯m about to die from the dog food.]

    [Amazing, at this speed, they just proposed a few days ago and they¡¯ve already registered their marriage. I¡¯m looking forward to their wedding!]

    Not long after, Bo Xiao updated his Weibo status.

    @ Bo Xiao: ¡°I have the same household register as a certain fool Lian Po. @ An Rao, in the future, I¡¯ll bring Old Lian Po to the top every season.¡±

    @ An Rao: ¡°@ Bo Xiao, after meeting you, the winter will end and the gxy will be bright.¡±

    [Hahahahahaha, can the two of you discuss and post the same style?]

    [Boohoo, our An Rao will be relying on Bo Xiao in the future. You must treat her well and not bully her. You made her smile so happily, she really likes you.]

    [Bo Xiao is going to be beaten up by An Rao. Hahahahaha, Old Lian Po, I¡¯m dying ofughter.]

    In the alley, An Rao also saw Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo post and immediately exploded. ¡°Bo Xiao, what are you doing!!! Can you have some culture? You¡¯re the old Lianpo!¡±

    ¡°Other than ying Lian Po, when else did you die less than 10 times, if you¡¯re not Old Lian Po, then who is?¡± Bo Xiao chuckled as he took the threatening An Rao into his arms.

    ¡°Hmph! Look at how romantic others are when they post about their marriage. You! You¡¯re not romantic at all.¡± The more An Rao thought about it, the angrier she became. She patted Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Be good.¡± Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s hair. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±

    ¡°I want to eat beef brisket and tomatoes, and shredded potatoes.¡± Under the temptation of delicious food, An Rao instantly forgot about settling scores with Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao pulled An Rao into the car.

    After sitting down, Bo Xiao did not start immediately. He took out his phone and typed for a while before stepping on the elerator.

    An Rao was originally humming a song in the front passenger seat when she suddenly turned to look at Bo Xiao with a smile in her eyes. ¡°I was joking with you just now. Those words were fake.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± At the red light, Bo Xiao turned around and patted An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°I just want you to be happy.¡±

    The corners of An Rao¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯m very happy! I like you so much.¡±

    ¡°Silly.¡± The green light lit up. Bo Xiao looked ahead again, but the smile on his face could not be suppressed.

    An Rao was so happy because Bo Xiao had replied to her on Weibo.

    ¡°I have countless imaginations about my future life. You¡¯re in every one of them.¡±

    Before theizens could recover from the news of An Rao and Bo Xiao registering their marriage, Bo Xiao¡¯s sudden sentence threw down a ton of dog food.

    [I¡¯m just an ordinary bachelor. Why are you doing this to me? Boohoo, a bachelor only wants to go online. Why are you giving me such food when I go online?]

    [Where can I find a boyfriend who is tall, handsome, rich, and can bring me up the ranks on King of Glory? Is the country distributing them?]

    [The person in front, if you want to find such a boyfriend, the first step is to look like An Rao.]

    [ My heart hurts. I went to fight with Nuwa. She made so many beauties. Why can¡¯t I be one of them? I¡¯m crying. ]

    In the manor, without needing to go online, Xia Wanyuan had already learned of this news from An Rao.

    Seeing that An Rao and Bo Xiao had finally achieved sess, Xia Wanyuan was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.

    ¡°Are you still not going to talk to me?¡± Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan a piece of watermelon. From the moment Xia Wanyuan woke up until now, she had not spoken to Jun Shiling for six hours. No matter what good food or fun things Jun Shiling brought, he could not tempt her.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and bit down. She looked at the time. ¡°Alright, six hours are up. I can talk to you now.¡±

    She said she would ignore for half a day and she did.

    ¡°Thank you for your pardon, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, his eyes gentle.

    ¡°My waist hurts. Give me a massage.¡± After holding it in for the entire afternoon, she could finally lean on Jun Shiling openly. Xia Wanyuan rxed.

    Jun Shiling patiently helped Xia Wanyuan massage her waist as he spoke to her. ¡°In the past half a day, I¡¯ve changed three proposals and agreed to an acquisition n. I rejected two investments¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan liked to hear Jun Shiling tell her everything that happened every day in detail. Even though Xia Wanyuan did not understand many of the Jun Corporation¡¯s ns and had never been involved in some industries,

    Jun Shiling was willing to share every second of his life with her. This way of interacting made her feel veryfortable and safe.

    They had could talk about anything and shared everything. There was no gap. They were the people who understood and loved each other the most in the world.

    ¡°Why are you so good at massaging?¡± Xia Wanyuan originally only wanted Jun Shiling to massage her casually. She did not expect Jun Shiling to be so professional. Her originally sore waist now felt warm andfortable.

    ¡°I learned it myself from reading these few days.¡± Initially, Jun Shiling had specially found a professional to teach him techniques when he saw that Xia Wanyuan was working hard filming. He did not expect it to be used here first.

    ¡°What book? Let me take a look too.¡±

    ¡°No, massage me. My waist doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. My heart aches.¡± After massaging Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, Jun Shiling helped her massage her cervical spine.

    ¡°Besides.¡± A dark glint shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He raised an eyebrow at Xia Wanyuan, his expression seemingly smug. ¡°Don¡¯t you know if my waist is good?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s suggestive words. When she reacted, she gently hit Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re not serious.¡±

    ¡°Why should I be serious in front of you?¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Are you feeling better? I¡¯ll massage your legs again.¡±

    Full Mmon quietly climbed up the treetop and saw the two people leaning against each other through the window. It could not help but pull a cloud to cover its shy face.

    The gorgeous apartment was empty at this moment, looking extremely cold in the middle of the night.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the number you dialed is unavable.¡± The cold female voice repeated this sentence countless times.

    ¡°Liar!¡± An Lin threw the phone against the wall. The tenth useless phone of the month had appeared.

    No matter how she called, she could not get through. An Lin felt that she had been yed by Wei Zimu. Rubbing her stomach, An Lin¡¯s gaze gradually became ruthless.

    ¡°Wei Zimu, you¡¯re too much.¡±

    At this moment, in the Beijing airport, the flight from Continent F arrived on time.

    In the crowd, a man in white attracted 100% of heads. Even though his eyes could not hide his fatigue, he could not hide his gentleness and elegance.

 Chapter 892 - Truth Nightmare

    <h4>Chapter 892: Truth Nightmare</h4>

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Wei Zimu walked out of the airport.

    Before he went to Continent F, it was still midsummer in China. Now that he was back, thete autumn night was already very humid.

    A gust of night wind blew and Wei Zimu shivered slightly. He reached out to touch his cold arm. There were still some unhealed needle holes on it. The cold wind entered his heart through the needle holes.

    He had returned this time to rece Yu Qian. In the eyes of the Wei family, Yu Qian had never left Beijing, so no one came to pick him up at night.

    Wei Zimu hailed a car and gave an address.

    The driver followed the address given by Wei Zimu and felt more and more frightened as he walked. It was really too remote. He trembled and broke out in cold sweat as he finally arrived at his destination. The driver did not even have the mood to cheat the customer. He wished he could take Wei Zimu¡¯s money and get him out of the car quickly.

    The taxi left quickly. Wei Zimu walked into the long and narrow alley alone. After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at an extremely dpidated old building.

    This was an old city from more than ten years ago. Few people lived here now.

    However, the door of a house on the first floor was very clean and tidy. Wei Zimu opened the door lock and the ancient door creaked.

    The interior of the house was very old. Standing here, it was as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.

    Although it was broken, it was very clean. There were some faded snacks on the table.

    ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m so tired.¡± Wei Zimu sat on the sofa and suddenly sighed softly.

    ]Wei Zimu sat for a while before taking out his phone and opening the relevant news about Xia Wanyuan on Weibo. Looking at the elegant Xia Wanyuan, a smile finally appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s tired eyes.

    Having not seen news from the outside world for so long, Wei Zimu clicked on the news about Xia Wanyuan one by one.

    Sleepiness gradually overwhelmed him. Wei Zimu pulled a nket over and curled up on the sofa, falling asleep.

    The nightmare that had gued him for more than ten years entangled Wei Zimu again.

    ¡°Why is it so little today!! What are you doing!! Ah!!¡± The fierce-looking man held a whip in his hand and ruthlessly whipped the still young boy.

    ¡°Please don¡¯t hit me anymore. I¡¯ll ask for more now.¡± Every kick from an adult man who weighed nearly two hundred pounds was fatal. The little boy could not take it anymore and could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Apanied by the man¡¯s insults, the little boy returned to the bridge with the bowl and kept kowtowing to the passers-by. However, the pedestrians were in a hurry and few people stopped to pay attention to the little boy with blood at the corners of his mouth.

    The overwhelming pain and humiliation was enough to suffocate him even in a dream.

    On the sofa, Wei Zimu frowned tightly and broke out in cold sweat.

    ¡°Little Brother, are you hungry? I¡¯ll give you this candy. It¡¯s very delicious.¡± The exquisite candy could notpare to the smile of the delicate little girl. It was like a bright sun.

    The little boy ced the candy in his mouth. It was a sweet taste that he had never experienced before.

    ¡°Little brother, does it hurt?¡± The little girl¡¯s clear eyes were filled with concern. She squatted in front of the little boy and ignored the dirt on him. ¡°I¡¯ll blow on it for you. I brought you a chicken drumstick today. Try it.¡±

    ¡°Little Brother, I brought you a very delicious drink today ~¡±

    In the dream, the little girl¡¯s smile and the smell of countless snacks seemed to have warmth that did not dissipate for a long time.

    ¡°When I have money in the future, I¡¯ll buy you snacks, okay?¡± The little boy¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Mm! Thank you, Brother.¡± The little girl bared her white teeth, her big eyes filled with innocence. ¡°In the future, Brother, buy me all the delicious snacks in the world.¡±

    ¡°Mm! Pinky swear.¡±

    ¡°Pinky swear.¡±

    On the sofa, Wei Zimu frowned and looked gentle. The dreams took turns repeatedly.

    A rooster crowed from afar, waking Wei Zimu, who was already sleeping uneasily.

    Wei Zimu opened his eyes. His tired eyes were still a little red. The news about Xia Wanyuan was still ying on his phone. The candy wrapper on the table was no longer as bright as before, but it was still very exquisite.

    Looking at the rosy-cheeked Xia Wanyuan on the phone, Wei Zimu¡¯s lips curled up slightly. It seemed that the man beside her treated her very well.

    When he woke up, he did not fall asleep again.

    At dawn, Wei Zimu received a call from an unknown number.

    ¡°Wei Zimu! You¡¯re finally willing to answer the phone?!! So the numbers you gave me in the past were all lies! What else are you lying to me about?¡± After searching everywhere, she finally found Wei Zimu¡¯s phone number. When she heard Wei Zimu¡¯s voice, An Lin was furious.

    Wei Zimu frowned at the sharp female voice. ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, who am I?¡± An Lin was so angry that she almostughed. ¡°Do you think you can deny it just because you slept with me? Let me tell you, I¡¯m pregnant with your flesh and blood. Don¡¯t think that I, An Lin, am a woman who can be dismissed with a few bags. If you don¡¯t give me an exnation, I¡¯ll directly expose you to the media.¡±

    Wei Zimu did not know what had happened, but he could roughly guess. He called Yu Qian directly. ¡°Who is that woman?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a cover.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice was cold. ¡°I left in a hurry and forgot that there was such a person.¡±

    ¡°She said she has your child.¡±

    ¡°Child?¡± Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°Brother, do I look like someone who will have a child?¡±

    Hearing this, Wei Zimu hung up. There were 20 missed calls from An Lin.

    Wei Zimu sent a message to An Lin.

    ¡°Five million aspensation. Abort the child. Otherwise, bear the consequences.¡±

    After sending the message, Wei Zimu directly contacted his acquaintances in the major media and cut off the possibility of An Lin wanting to expose herself.

    On An Lin¡¯s side, she quickly replied, ¡°Impossible. Either marry me or die trying.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 893: The Princess Praises Herself</h4>

    Seeing the message from An Lin, a cold glint shed across Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. Instead of replying, he made a few more calls and blocked An Lin.

    Wei Zimu had never been someone who was at the mercy of others. To be able to be one of the Wei family¡¯s juniors that Matriarch Wei valued the most, Wei Zimu¡¯s EQ was extremely high.

    He was restrained by Yu Qian because he was guilty.

    He was willing to be bullied by the Wei family because he was grateful.

    Other than that, no one could bully him.

    Someone who could single-handedly build up the Wei family¡¯s overseas market had never been a soft and vulnerable person.

    Unfortunately, in An Lin¡¯s eyes, Wei Zimu¡¯s gentleness was equivalent to being easy to bully.

    The call did not go through, so An Lin stopped calling. Anyway, with Wei Zimu¡¯s identity, he could run, but he could not hide. The child in her stomach was real.

    Looking at An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo interaction interface on her phone, An Lin was both jealous and hateful.

    She had thought that she could suppress An Rao after finding a man like Wei Zimu. She did not expect Wei Zimu to treat her like this. An Rao was held in the palm of such an outstanding Bo Xiao, but she was now abandoned by Wei Zimu.

    Knowing that Mother An had alreadye to Beijing and was looking for her, An Lin finally called Mother An.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony was extremely sessful. Not only did it be famous throughout the country, but it also let the fashion world know that there was such a Chinese brand.

    Back then, people in the industry generally thought that it was unnecessary to renovate Xiu Yi¡¯s interior. Now, it had be a hot topic in the industry.

    ¡°Although the cost of investing in such a high-capacity design that can attract thousands of people in the early stages is huge, once it seeds, the huge customer flow can quickly recover the cost and start to profit.

    I have to say that this is a very sessful case. I heard that this design n was provided by Xiu Yi¡¯s chief designer, X. If there¡¯s a chance, I really want to get to know this X and learn from her.¡±

    Listening to the Qing University teacher¡¯s exnation on the podium, Xia Wanyuan held her forehead. She really did not expect her design to be liked by so many people. After all, she only wanted to experiment back then.

    he teacher on stage was still praising her as she listened to the students¡¯ analysis of her work.

    Xia Wanyuan really wanted to say that she had not thought so much. The thing she had casually drawn back then could actually be interpreted into manyyers. It was amazing.

    This design ss finally became a judgment ss on embroidery. Xia Wanyuan was even called out by the teacher and praised her design in front of the students.

    Finally, ss ended. Xia Wanyuan heaved a sigh of relief, picked up her books, and walked out of the ssroom.

    ¡°This X is really mysterious. I really want to know who he is. The clothes he designed are really beautiful. I¡¯m going to work on the weekend to save money to buy a set of embroidered clothes.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already bought a set with my schrship grant. Haha, it¡¯s really good-looking and the cut is very exquisite. I hereby announce that this X has be my new male idol. I wonder if I can see my male idol in my lifetime.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan happened to pass by them. The students hurriedly greeted her, ¡°Professor Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked out of the ssroom.

    Before she reached the office building, she saw an iconic silver-haired Mu Feng in the distance with a bouquet of blooming red roses in his hand. He was leaning against the sapphire blue sports car behind him, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.

    In the office upstairs, the teachers looked at Wei Jin, who was preparing for ss seriously. ¡°Teacher Wei, the handsome man downstairs is here to look for you, right? I saw you walking togetherst time. He¡¯s quite handsome.¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s face heated up from everyone¡¯s words. At this moment, her phone rang. It was a message from Mu Feng. ¡°Your cousin is downstairs too.¡±

    Wei Jin walked to the window and took a look. Downstairs, Xia Wanyuan was indeed standing with Mu Feng.

    ¡°Boss, give me some face and have lunch together. If you don¡¯te, Wei Jin will definitely not be willing to go out for a meal with me.¡± Mu Feng had sent Wei Jin many messages recently, but they were all like stones sinking into the sea.

    ¡°Are you sure you can woo her like this?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Mu Feng suspiciously. ording to Wei Jin¡¯s personality, she definitely wouldn¡¯t like such an exaggerated way of wooing someone.

    ¡°Then how do you think I should chase her? Teach me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to say something when Wei Jin walked out of the door.

    ¡°Cousin.¡± Wei Jin smiled. When she looked at Mu Feng, the smile on her face was gone. ¡°Mr. Mu.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re treating me like an outsider.¡± Mu Feng handed the rose in his hand to Wei Jin. ¡°This is for you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you. I didn¡¯t do anything to deserve this. I can¡¯t ept your things.¡± With Mu Feng¡¯s style of doing things, Wei Jin was worried that he would say something like if she epted his flowers, she had to eat with him.

    ¡°Miss Wei.¡± Mu Feng insisted on handing the roses to Wei Jin. ¡°Am I not obvious enough? I¡¯m chasing you. I gave you the flowers willingly. What do you mean you didn¡¯t do anything to deserve it?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Wei Jin could not help but nce at Xia Wanyuan beside her, her face flushed red. She had not expected Mu Feng to be so direct.

    ¡°Cousin, there¡¯s something I didn¡¯t understand about the book you gave mest time. Teach me,¡± Wei Jin said as she stepped forward to hold Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and pulled her away in a panic.

    Looking at Wei Jin¡¯s blushing face, Xia Wanyuan felt that her doubts might have been wrong.

    Wei Jin had toed by etiquettes since she was young and had lived like a standard daughter of a prestigious family. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she should like the same modest gentleman.

    However, someone as arrogant as Mu Feng might be able to prate all the barriers around Wei Jin.

    ¡°The weather is cold. Wei Jin, wear more. I got someone to put a scarf in your office.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s words came from behind and Wei Jin¡¯s face turned even redder. Xia Wanyuan did not say anything and only smiled meaningfully.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished answering the questions, Wei Jin looked at the time. It was time for lunch. ¡°Cousin, I¡¯ll cook for lunch. Why don¡¯t you eat with me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to agree when her phone rang. After reading the message, Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Jin. ¡°I have a house in school. Let¡¯s have a meal together. I can introduce you to someone.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin chatted as they walked towards their residence.

    Wei Jin was visibly close and respectful to Xia Wanyuan. The more she chatted with Xia Wanyuan, the more she understood what Matriarch Wei meant when she said, ¡°You can learn a lot from Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Finally, they arrived at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ce. It was a small standalone building. The scenery in the courtyard was beautiful, and a ck car was parked at the door.

    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Just as she walked in, a deep male voice came from the house.

 Chapter 894 - Half-exposed Shoulders, Dark Face, Vinegar Vat

    <h4>Chapter 894: Half-exposed Shoulders, Dark Face, Vinegar Vat</h4>

    Wei Jin nced at Xia Wanyuan in surprise, but she saw that Xia Wanyuan was very calm, as if she had long known that there was someone in the house.

    Turning around a screen, Wei Jin saw a handsome man sitting on the sofa. Just his side profile gave off an oppressive aura.

    At that moment, the man looked up with a smile in his eyes. He paused for half a second when he saw her, then his gazended on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Your cousin?¡± the man said.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and introduced him to Wei Jin. ¡°This is my husband.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Cousin-inw.¡± Even though Wei Jin¡¯s heart was in turmoil, it was hidden. She bowed slightly to the man on the sofa.

    ¡°Come, try the sweet potato that has just been roasted.¡± Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan brought Wei Jin over and took a bite of the sweet potato in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. It was sweet.

    Wei Jin looked at the noble Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, who hadpletely rxed, and her heart was filled with doubts.

    <i>My cousin was actually married?!?</i>Moreover, although she had only seen photos of this person, she could recognize at a nce that the man who was feeding Xia Wanyuan was the Jun family¡¯s Jun Shiling.

    To her surprise, she thought that staying with Jun Shiling would be very oppressive. However, Jun Shiling, who was in front of Xia Wanyuan, did not put on any airs.

    Moreover, reality proved that she was worried too much. After all, other than the nce when she entered, Jun Shiling had never looked at her again.

    Jun Shiling was so busy that he could only have lunch with Xia Wanyuan before rushing back to thepany. Only when Jun Shiling¡¯s car disappeared at the door did Wei Jin tug at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sleeve curiously. ¡°Cousin, did CEO Jun speciallye to have lunch with you?¡±

    Wei Jin grew up in the Wei family, who schemed against each other. She thought that marriage was just a transaction. It was nothing more than the two of them working together for the rest of their lives. She had always let her marriage fate be.

    Until she saw Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. Even if they were quietly together, she could feel the gentleness of love from the bottom of their hearts.

    As the head of the Jun family, Jun Shiling had a noble status and was very busy with work. However, the Jun Shiling she saw had specially returned to apany Xia Wanyuan for lunch and take care of her in every detail, sharing what he had done in the morning.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Mm, he¡¯s rtively busy. He can only leave after a meal.¡±

    ¡°Does Grandma know?¡±

    ¡°Not for now.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll keep it a secret.¡± Wei Jin could not hide the envy in her eyes. ¡°Cousin, your rtionship is so good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°You¡¯ll meet such a person too.¡±

    ¡°No, Cousin, I¡¯ve always been very clear about my status. I¡¯m used to strengthen my family¡¯s status through marriage.¡± Speaking of herself, Wei Jin¡¯s eyes darkened.

    ¡°That might not be the case,¡± Xia Wanyuan said meaningfully. Wei Jin asked again, but Xia Wanyuan stopped.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Most television dramas nowadays used the broadcast mode of updating two episodes every other day. This could ensure the continuation of the poprity and extend the broadcast time, making the television drama more discussed.

    ¡°Moon As Frost¡± naturally adopted such a way of broadcasting.

    However, the audience could not wait any longer. ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was too good at ambushing people. The male and female leads were multi-faced and extremely attractive. It had only been a day, but the fans who were waiting to be fed were already driving the official Weibo of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± crazy.

    Everyone timed it so that it was finally eight in the evening. The third and fourth episodes of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± were finally released.

    After the opening song, the first scene exploded in thements.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling, who was watching television with Xia Wanyuan, had a dark expression.

    ¡°Did you find a substitute?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was low.

    ¡°¡­ No.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling angrily. She wore suspenders and bare-shoulder evening gowns a lot. This scene only exposed her shoulders. There was no need to find a substitute.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not know how alluring she looked in her half-opened cheongsam while submerged in the hot spring.

 Chapter 895 - CEO Jun Deserved It

    <h4>Chapter 895: CEO Jun Deserved It</h4>

    In the hot spring pool built against the mountain, Qin Manyue stood up from the water. Her already curvy figure was entuated by her wet clothes. Water droplets flowed down her hair, past her fair neck, exquisite corbone, and finally into the pool of warm water.

    She was like the snake demon in the legends, dangerous and charming.

    ¡°Sir, what a coincidence to meet you here,¡± the snake demon said in azy tone.

    On the shore, Chu Pingjiang was wearing a long robe. His face was alreadypletely red. He only dared to stare at his toes and did not dare to look in Chu Manyue¡¯s direction.

    ¡°I¡­ I heard them say that they wanted to kidnap you on the way here, so I followed them over. Since you¡¯re fine, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± As Chu Pingjiang spoke, his face turned even redder.

    ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± Qin Manyue wiped the water off her face and swam a few steps towards the shore.

    Chu Pingjiang turned to leave, but the snake demon behind him spoke again. ¡°Sir, can you pull me up?¡±

    Chu Pingjiang¡¯s ears turned red. He turned around and reached out to Qin Manyue with his eyes closed.

    A soft and boneless hand held him with water. With a ssh, the person in front of him went ashore.

    ¡°Achoo.¡± Qin Manyue sneezed. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s cold.¡±

    Chu Pingjiang closed his eyes and took off his long robe, then handed it to her. ¡°Miss, wear it first. I¡¯ll go to the temple in front to borrow some clothes from the masters. After saying that, Chu Pingjiang seemed to be unable to hold on anymore and ran away in a panic.

    When he returned in a monk robe, Qin Manyue was wearing a long robe. The water at the tip of her hair slowly dripped down. She was leaningzily on a rock with a cigarette in her hand. The smoke lingered around her, blurring her watery eyes.

    The bell of the temple in the distance rang. Qin Manyue looked over, making one forget the Buddhist chants. They only thought of the three thousand worlds and the gentle mortal world.

    This scene stunned Chu Pingjiang on television and all the audience.

    [ Amazing, I believe that there are seductive demons in this world. If such a person takes a fancy to you, why are you still a gentleman? ]

    [ I can understand King Zhou¡¯s feelings of doting on Daji and King Zhou¡¯s smile. Really, if such a woman was in front of me, I would be willing to pluck the stars from the sky for her. ]

    [So beautiful. Xia Wanyuan is really so beautiful. How can she be so noble and flirtatious? She¡¯s practically growing in my heart.]

    The television drama had just started a few minutes ago, but people were already discussing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    Countless editing experts cut out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes and created more new works with other television characters.

    Looking at the alluring demon on the television, Jun Shiling turned around and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you like this.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that acting?¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s hand helplessly. She was never the seductive type.

    ¡°Then act for me.¡± Jun Shiling refused to budge.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. Her makeup and clothes had clearly not changed, and she was even wearing a furry rabbit pajamas. However, it was as if she had changed into a different person. Her originally noble temperament instantly became enchanting.

    ¡°Sir, are you sleeping?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lingered on Jun Shiling like hooks.

    ¡°¡­Alright, stop provoking me.¡± Jun Shiling had tortured Xia Wanyuan too much the day before yesterday and did not n to let her work hard tonight.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She raised her leg and ced it on Jun Shiling¡¯sp, slowly drawing circles. The tip of her tongue reached out and gently licked her upper lip. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling felt his scalp go numb. He instantly grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle. ¡°Alright, go to sleep. Stop fooling around.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan had no intention of letting him off.

 Chapter 896 - CEO Junâ€™s Little Troublemaker

    <h4>Chapter 896: CEO Jun¡¯s Little Troublemaker</h4>

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to see me act? Why aren¡¯t you watching now?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°¡­¡± Although Xia Wanyuan looked really good like this, Jun Shiling could not bear the oue of this beauty. Jun Shiling silently stuffed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in and tucked her in. ¡°Stop fooling around. I¡¯m not looking anymore.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan sat up again from the nket. The buttons of her pajamas were already half unbuttoned, and her beautiful corbone was faintly visible. Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s a little hot.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was no longer a little hot. The blood in his entire body had already begun to boil. Jun Shiling reached out and closed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cor. The veins on the back of his hand bulged.

    ¡°Are you still jealous?¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and gently bit the back of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. When she looked up, her eyes shone.

    ¡°I¡¯m not eating anymore.¡± Jun Shiling clenched his fists helplessly. The back of his hand was still warm.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and returned to her usual self. She leanedzily on the bed and continued watching the television drama. She even leisurely took a slice of watermelon.

    Jun Shiling sat beside her for a while. In the end, he could not help but stand up and leave.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    ¡°To take a cold shower.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Oh, CEO Jun is indeed in good health. You can take a cold shower even though it¡¯s so cold.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling walked straight into the bathroom. The moment he closed the door, he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯sughter.

    After an episode of the television drama, Jun Shiling finally came out of the bathroom. ¡°You can watch first. I¡¯ll go to the study to read for a while ande backter.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was a little off. Jun Shiling looked up. As expected, Xia Wanyuan looked disappointed and unhappy. ¡°You¡¯d rather read alone than watch dramas with me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling pinched the space between his eyebrows. He really did not know what to do with Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Did I not want to watch with her? The key was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. I could not hold it back.?</i>

    Jun Shiling sighed and could only return to the bed and sit beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me. Otherwise, don¡¯t shout that your waist hurts tonight.¡±

    ¡°But my waist really hurts.¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand to her waist and held it, as if Jun Shiling could hug her with one hand.

    ]Jun Shiling felt that his shower just now was in vain. ¡°Stop fooling around.¡±

    As if knowing that Jun Shiling could not bear to torture her anymore tonight, Xia Wanyuan became even bolder. She ced her leg on Jun Shiling and hugged his waist. ¡°I¡¯ll y.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled bitterly. He tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and pulled her into his arms. ¡°You¡¯re not watching the show anymore?¡±

    ¡°The television drama isn¡¯t as good as you,¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling¡¯s perfect jawline and said sincerely.

    ¡°Don¡¯t give me that.¡± Jun Shiling could not suppress the corners of his lips.

    ¡°I just want to do this.¡± Xia Wanyuan opened her trap.

    ¡°Alright, be good. I¡¯ll go to the study and bring the documents over.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back and was about to get up when Xia Wanyuan refused to let go. She even hugged him tighter.

    ¡°Stop looking at the documents. Don¡¯t I look good?¡± Xia Wanyuan was not going to let Jun Shiling off tonight and insisted on treating his jealousy. She rubbed against Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and immediately felt the temperature between them rise.

    Jun Shiling flipped over and pressed Xia Wanyuan onto the bed, his breath steaming. ¡°Must you provoke me?¡±

    ¡°My waist hurts. I still have to film a show tomorrow morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. She looked pitiful, like an exquisite and fragile doll, making people not dare to move.

    Jun Shiling took a deep breath. ¡°I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have been jealous. Madam, let me go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°A good child knows when to repent.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll change.¡± Jun Shiling restrained himself and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Can I apply to stay in the study for half an hour beforeing over? You vixen, you really make me ufortable.¡±

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows smugly. ¡°Go ahead. Bring me a ss of fruit juiceter.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s retreating back, Xia Wanyuan was amused.?<i>With so little self-control, he still wanted to watch me act? Wasn¡¯t he asking for trouble?</i>

 Chapter 897 - Teasing Love

    <h4>Chapter 897: Teasing Love</h4>

    Jun Shiling was alone in the study. He did not dare to go over to Xia Wanyuan and he could not focus on reading, so he could only sigh silently.

    After sitting for about ten minutes, Jun Shiling could not help but take out his phone and send Xia Wanyuan a message.

    Jun Shiling:?<i>Baby, I want to watch dramas with you. Can you stop messing with me??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan quickly replied:?<i>You¡¯re not allowed to be jealous.</i>

    Jun Shiling:<i>?I promise I won¡¯t be jealous.?</i>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reply,?<i>¡°Come over and bring a cup of fruit juice.¡±?</i>Jun Shiling finally heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and went downstairs to squeeze a ss of fruit juice.

    When he entered, on the television, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a ck evening gown and dancing in the dance hall with someone hugging her waist. Jun Shiling tightened his grip on the ss of water, but he did not say anything in the end.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished a ss of fruit juice, Jun Shiling lifted the nket and felt the fragrant and soft Xia Wanyuan in his arms. Jun Shiling felt that as long as he had a wife to hug, nothing else was a problem.

    On television, Qin Manyue¡¯s identity was from a famous family in Shanghai, and the production team was willing to spend money. Up until now, the main color of the entire television drama was gold and red.

    They drank and drank, and it was extremely luxurious.

    The director¡¯s shooting angle was very good, and the television drama¡¯s soundtrack was even more perfect. Under such prosperity, the television drama¡¯s soundtrack was decadent.

    It was clearly an extremely bustling life, but it made one feel deste from the inside out.

    A second ago, Qin Manyue was wandering in the dance hall, bing the brightest decoration in the city.

    In the next second, the camera switched. The mes of war in the north continued to spread and finally burned into this prosperous city.

    In the dance hall, the sound of the bamboo pipes and strings covered everything. In the suburbs, the enemy¡¯s bombardment had already arrived. Countless refugees surged towards the city center.

    While everyone was still raising their sses, a cannonball smashed into the theater beside the dance hall.

    This time, no matter how loud the music was, it could not cover the sound of the bombing.

    The prosperous bubble shattered at once. Reality finally tore apart all the hypocrisy hidden under the mask.

    Everyone began to run out. Qin Manyue was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted and hurriedly followed the crowd out.

    The high heels that had once been used to decorate her beauty became a burden. Qin Manyue ran two steps before taking off her shoes and running out barefoot. However, the more she ran, the more her body swayed.

    In this chaotic world, they had finally achieved the ¡°equality of all living beings¡± that countless people pursued.

    At this moment, no one noticed how shockingly beautiful this person was and how illustrious her family was. Anyone would be driven by life to run away before her.

    Director Li Heng used a long shot here.

    Amidst the swarming crowd and the flying mes of war, Qin Manyue loomed in the crowd with a nk expression, freezing into an extremely tense scene.

    Unable to hold on any longer, Qin Manyue identally sprained her ankle. Behind her were thousands of people. Qin Manyue knew that if she fell to the ground, she would probably never be able to stand up again. However, she was powerless and finally fell down in despair with her eyes closed.

    Unexpectedly, she was pulled back and carried away from the crowd.

    Qin Manyue opened her eyes in panic, only to see a familiar long robe. The panic in her eyes dissipated, and a smile appeared on Qin Manyue¡¯s face.

    Finally, they arrived at a safe ce. Chu Pingjiang put Qin Manyue down with a red face. ¡°Miss Qin, it happened too suddenly just now. Please don¡¯t take it to heart. Where¡¯s your house? I¡¯ll send you back.¡±

    Looking at Chu Pingjiang¡¯s bright red earlobe, Qin Manyue ttened her legs. ¡°Sir, my feet hurt.¡±

    Only then did Chu Pingjiang notice Qin Manyue¡¯s feet. They were originally soft and tender. After running barefoot on the ground for so long, they were already badly mutted. It was shocking to see them.

    ¡°I-I¡¯ll find a doctor.¡±

    Qin Manyue chuckled. The pearl was bright and the beautiful jade was shining. The surrounding dpidated houses did not affect her beauty at all. ¡°We¡¯re already in this state of the war, where can we find a doctor? Sir, can you carry me back?¡±

    Chu Pingjiang¡¯s face flushed red. He did not know where to look and stammered, ¡°Okay, then¡­ Then forgive me for offending you.¡±

    Amidst the mes of war, the morning glow was especially beautiful today, as if to contrast the blood on the ground. It was so red that it was eye-catching.

    Chu Pingjiang carried Qin Manyue to the Qin family and she leaned on Chu Pingjiang¡¯s shoulder. Seeing his red earlobe, Qin Manyue suddenly reached out and touched it. Chu Pingjiang was stunned.

    ¡°Miss Qin, you¡­¡± Before Chu Pingjiang could finish speaking, Qin Manyue struggled to jump down.

    Her bloody feet left marks on the ground. Chu Pingjiang wanted to stop her, but when he looked up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

    The Chu family¡¯s door was wide open, and the thick smell of blood kept spreading out. The courtyard was burning with a huge fire.

    ¡°Father!! Mother!!¡± Qin Manyue¡¯s painful scream came from the courtyard. Chu Pingjiang hurriedly chased after her and saw a few burning corpses in the main hall.

    Qin Manyue wanted to barge in, but Chu Pingjiang hurriedly pulled her back. ¡°No, they can¡¯t be saved anymore. We have to leave quickly. I just saw an armying this way.¡±

    Qin Manyue¡¯s face was already covered in tears, and her eyes were filled with mes of pain.

    Someone¡¯s voice came from outside. Chu Pingjiang hurriedly covered Qin Manyue¡¯s mouth and hid in the corner. They watched as the person outside poured another pile of gasoline into the courtyard. After confirming that the Qin family was dead, the person outside left.

    At this moment, Qin Manyue had already fainted from crying. Chu Pingjiang could only carry her on his back to his residence in school.

    After settling Qin Manyue down, Chu Pingjiang cleaned his dirty clothes and went to the school hospital to get her medicine.

    The camera followed his footsteps forward, past the campus, past the path, and into the hospital.

    At this moment, there was no doctor in the consultation room. Instead, four men in leather coats were waiting.

    The door was opened and then closed.

    ¡°Sir.¡± The four of them bowed respectfully.

    ¡°How is it?¡± The camera cut to the man in the long robe sitting in front of the four of them. It was Chu Pingjiang. However, at this moment, he did not have the slightest gentleness and geniality. His entire person was like a piece of ice, and his gaze was like a torch, revealing a murderous coldness.

    ¡°There are 56 people in the Qin family. Other than the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Manyue, whom no one knows where she is. Everyone else has died.¡±

    ¡°Yes, well done. The next step is to use Cherry Blossom Country to eliminate the Wang family.¡± In Chu Pingjiang¡¯s eyes, the lives of dozens of people were as ordinary as ants.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Everyone obeyed respectfully.

    When Chu Pingjiang walked out of the school hospital, he was that elegant and gentle teacher again.

    Thements were stunned by this operation.

    [F*ck, is this the male lead?? How ruthless. Why do I feel that this television drama is going to be tragic?]

    [Oh my god, the male lead killed the female lead¡¯s entire family. He shouldn¡¯t be able to have a happy ending, right? I¡¯ve never watched abusive dramas, but I really want to know what will happen next.]

    [ I¡¯ll say it silently. Yan Ci is too f*cking handsome. He¡¯s a proper refined scum. As long as he¡¯s handsome, everything else will look good and Xia Wanyuan will also act well. This crying scene makes my nose sour. ]

    Jun Shiling watched the drama and did not act jealous again. He looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s crying scene thoughtfully and suddenly said, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Without experiencing it personally, she would not be able to act out such a hopeless scene that would affect everyone. In her previous life, when Xia Wanyuan witnessed the destruction of her country, she was a hundred times more in pain than in this scene.

 Chapter 898 - Crazy Thoughts Slaughter the Rankings

    <h4>Chapter 898: Crazy Thoughts ughter the Rankings</h4>

    At that moment, the television drama had just finished ying and was stuck at the scene of Yan Ci walking out of the school hospital. Thements scratched at their hearts, but it was useless. At the end of the television drama, the words ¡°see you the day after tomorrow¡± clearly whetted everyone¡¯s appetite.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to turn off the television and snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. The clear pine fragrance surrounded her tightly. Xia Wanyuan rubbed her head. ¡°Hug me.¡±

    To be able to move others, she had to move herself first. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting waspletely empathic. Every time she acted, she would recall the heart-wrenching moments in her previous life.

    Jun Shiling chuckled and hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. ¡°I¡¯ll be here in the future.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and yawned. Jun Shiling¡¯s arms were warm, making her sleepy. ¡°Sleep.¡±

    It gradually began to rain. In the bleak cold wind, Mother An got out of the taxi and searched for a long time ording to the address An Lin had given her. Finally, she found the apartment An Lin lived in.

    ¡°Mom.¡± As soon as she saw Mother An, An Lin threw herself into her arms and cried.

    Mother An was about to scold her, but she could not say it out loud. She could only sigh deeply. ¡°Tell me what happened first.¡±

    Without makeup, An Lin looked even thinner. She held Mother An¡¯s hand and sat on the sofa, instantly softening Mother An¡¯s heart.

    After hearing An Lin¡¯s story, Mother An was furious. ¡°Since he already brought you to see Matriarch Wei, how can he go back on his word! Don¡¯t be afraid. We¡¯ll go to the Wei family tomorrow to ask Matriarch Wei for an exnation.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Lin touched her stomach and nodded.

    However, to their surprise, the next morning, before the two of them could go to the Wei family, the person sent by Wei Zimu had already arrived at the entrance of the apartment.

    When she opened the door and saw the secretary following Wei Zimu, An Lin frowned. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. Tell Wei Zimu that I¡¯m going to look for Grandma to uphold justiceter.¡±

    The assistant walked past her and looked at Mother An. ¡°Answer the phone.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Mother An was confused. At that moment, her phone rang. Mother An answered the call and Father An scolded her.

    Mother An¡¯s expression changed from initial anger to shock, then to ashen. In the end, she did not even have time to hang up the phone. She looked at An Lin in a daze and pounced on her assistant as if she had gone crazy. ¡°You bastard.¡±

    The bodyguard behind the assistant stood up at the right time and stood in front of him.

    ¡°Here¡¯s a check for five million.¡± The assistant handed the check over. ¡°Madam, I advise you to keep the check. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be good to lose everything. Oh right, there are also these photos. I believe Miss An Lin needs them.¡±

    With that, the assistant threw the check and an envelope on the cab beside him and left.

    An Lin picked up the envelope in confusion and opened it. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Mother An walked over and saw An Lin sleeping between two unfamiliar men in the photo. She fainted.

    ¡°Mom!!¡± An Lin looked at Mother An, who was lying on the ground, and then at the photos in her hand. In the end, she chose to go to the kitchen and turn on the gas stove to burn all the photos before going to the living room to make an emergency call.

    After being sent to the emergency room for a long time, Mother An was finally sent to the ward to rest. It was not until a few hourster that she slowly woke up.

    ¡°Mom, how are you?¡± An Lin looked like she had cried. Her eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Mother An haggardly.

    ¡°Beat him up. Beat that bastard up.¡± The moment Mother An saw An Lin, she thought of that dirty picture. An Lin was her pride. She would not allow such a stain on An Lin.

    ¡°Mom.¡± Hearing Mother An¡¯s words, An Lin could not stop the tears in her eyes. ¡°The doctor said that my uterus wall is too fragile. If I have this miscarriage, it might be difficult to have my own child in the future.¡±

    Mother An closed her eyes, and a trace of tears seeped out from the corners of her wrinkled eyes.

    An Lin was her pride in front of everyone. She did not allow others to point at her and gossip about An Lin.

    After a while, Mother An seemed to have made a huge decision. ¡°Then give birth to the child. I have a way.¡±

    When An Rao received Mother An¡¯s call, she was stunned. ¡°Mom, do you know what you¡¯re saying?? You want us to raise An Lin¡¯s child?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re her sister. You¡¯re not like An Lin. She still has a master¡¯s degree and a doctorate. How can she have time to take care of the child?¡±

    ¡°Then do I not need to take care of my own children in the future?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re sisters. What¡¯s the difference between you and her? Besides, An Lin is smart and has good genes. Isn¡¯t it the same if you raise her child?¡± Between An Rao and An Lin, Mother An finally chose to protect An Lin.

    ¡°Do you sound like a mother?¡± An Rao had never been so disappointed. ¡°Where did you put my marriage?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m informing you. As long as you¡¯re still a member of the An family, you have to listen to your father and me. Persuade Bo Xiao. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal in two days and settle this matter.¡± Mother An was already determined to make An Rao bear all of this for An Lin.

    An Rao stared at the phone in shock.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Looking at An Rao¡¯s surprised and aggrieved expression, Xia Wanyuan walked over.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, An Rao felt extremely wronged and repeated Mother An¡¯s words to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan patted An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Tell me the next time she looks for you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao looked a little sad. She lowered her head and looked aggrieved.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. Let¡¯s go out for a walk tonight, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan understood the importance of parents to a person. Even if An Rao had already lost hope in her parents, it was definitely very sad to be told that she was the one who had been abandoned.

    ¡°Thank you, Yuan Yuan. It¡¯s so good to meet you.¡± An Rao looked up and smiled again. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would not have met Bo Xiao, she would not have friends or lovers.

    <i>So what if my family was gone? At least the heavens did not mistreat me.</i>

    ¡°An Rao, Wanyuan, are you two ready? We¡¯re going to film.¡± In the distance, the director said.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m here.¡± Seeing that An Rao¡¯s mood had improved, Xia Wanyuan pulled her along to film.

    ¡°Aiyo!! If not for the time limit, I really want to film you two for another day. It¡¯s amazing!¡± They filmed from morning until night and finally ended the filming, but the photographer looked reluctant.

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful.¡± An Rao leaned over to take a look at the half-section. She was very pretty in the pictures. Of course, Xia Wanyuan was also especially beautiful. An Rao blinked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, let¡¯s ughter the rankings again.¡±

 Chapter 899 - Iâ€™ve Been Planning Against You for a Long Time

    <h4>Chapter 899: I¡¯ve Been nning Against You for a Long Time</h4>

    No matter how good a product was, it still needed continuous publicity. Although the opening ceremony was very popr, the poprity only existed on the Inte. In order to expand her influence, Xiu Yi specially invited Xia Wanyuan and An Rao to film an advertisement together.

    The employees of Xiu Yi were still dumbfounded.?<i>Who was our boss behind the scenes? Not only could he invite so many big shots at the opening ceremony, but he could even have Xia Wanyuan and An Rao at the same time to film an advertisement.?</i>

    Not only the employees of Xiu Yi, but theizens were also puzzled. However, no matter how they investigated, they could not find any news.

    Camellia had always been a popr brand in the fashion world. The opening ceremony and fashion press conference that she had thought would be sessful was actually a little dim under the unknown Xiu Yi.

    ¡°What are you doing?! I gave you so much publicity funds, and you made it like this!¡± Camellia¡¯s headquarters flew into a rage and removed the manager of the capital¡¯s gship store.

    At the same time, Camellia¡¯s headquarters assigned a director to the Chinese market.

    Before this director arrived in China, he had already issued an order asking Camellia to film and advertise at all costs to regain the poprity that Xiu Yi had suppressed.

    After all sorts of research, Camellia¡¯s marketing department came to a conclusion that the Chinese celebrity most suited their brand image,

    was Xia Wanyuan.

    After asking for permission from the headquarters, the marketing department sent an invitation to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished filming the advertisement, was about to go out with An Rao when she received a call from Camellia.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, right? This is Camellia. Congrattions on being our spokesperson. Come to the capital¡¯s gship store at nine tomorrow.¡± It was an extremely arrogant tone. In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion, this tone made her feel very rude.

    ¡°No, thank you. I¡¯ve already epted Xiu Yi¡¯s invitation.¡±

    ¡°Xiu Yi?¡± The other party seemed to have heard a joke. ¡°Miss Xia, I advise you to reconsider. Camellia is an internationally famous brand. Xiu Yi is at most a little rich. To be honest, with your status, you can get the endorsement of Camellia because Camellia is willing to give the newbies a chance.¡±

    Seeing that the other party had an attitude of them doing her a favor, Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    If others treated her with respect, she would treat them with respect. If others were not polite, she would not bother with them.

    Listening to the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, everyone in Camellia¡¯s meeting room looked at each other.?<i>Where did Xia Wanyuan get the courage to reject Camellia¡¯s endorsement??</i>

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan had just hung up when An Rao came looking for her.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and followed An Rao out.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s car was parked outside. When An Rao saw the car, she felt flustered. Although she was already so familiar with Xia Wanyuan, she was still a little afraid every time she saw Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Sister, go and find a ce first. Just send me the address when you arrive. I¡¯ll wait for Bo Xiao to pick me up.¡± An Rao felt that in order to have a good meal tonight, it was better not to go with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless. ¡°Isn¡¯t Jun Shiling¡¯s temper quite good? Why are you so afraid of him?¡±

    An Rao chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re the only one in the world who feels that CEO Jun is gentle.¡±

    The car was already close. Xia Wanyuan got into the car. Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed her, holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in his suit to warm it.

    Xia Wanyuan thought that Jun Shiling was clearly very gentle.

    ¡°Grandpa took Jun Yin away.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I happened to have promised An Rao to treat them to a meal tonight. Find a ce.¡± Xia Wanyuan took off her shoes and nestled beside Jun Shiling.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling wanted to say that they could go on a date alone, but it seemed like this n was going to be ruined. ¡°Okay.¡±

    The car drove all the way. When they got out of the car, a smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes as she hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm.

    This was the ce she and Jun Shiling hade to when they first went out alone. It was also here that she had first seen modern roses. Later on, Jun Shiling had turned the entire manor into a rose manor.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan in. The staff quickly brought them to the best private room in the restaurant that could overlook the entire capital.

    It was already evening. As far as the eye could see, the entire capital was a sea of stars floating in midair.

    The scene was still the same as before, but the mood waspletely different.

    ¡°Did you bring me here on purpose back then?¡± Suddenly thinking of something, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°I asked someone to prepare those roses back then.¡±

    Since Lin Jing could be his special assistant, his ability to read people¡¯s expressions was naturally very strong. At that time, Lin Jing had gotten someone to set up the venue, but he did not get anyone to immediately put the decorative flowers and hand the choice to Jun Shiling.

    For the first time in his life, Jun Shiling knew that every flower had its own uniquenguage.

    Among the millions of flowers, Jun Shiling chose the pink rose.

    Thenguage of pink roses was,

    Eternal deration of love.

    ¡°So you had eyes on me so early.¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve been nning this for a long time.¡±

    As the two of them were talking, footsteps came from outside the door.

    ¡°Sister, this ce is so beautiful. Why didn¡¯t I know that there was such a beautiful ce in Beijing?¡± An Rao pulled Bo Xiao in. Seeing Jun Shiling, An Rao lowered her voice. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    An Rao threw away Bo Xiao¡¯s hand and ran to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side to stay in the house with Jun Shiling. Only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side could make An Rao feel safe.

    While waiting for the food to be served, An Rao and Xia Wanyuan chatted about clothes and jewelry. Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao chatted by the window on the other side of the room.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, I can help you reject this mission.¡±

    ¡°Sir, are you going to open the back door for me?¡± Bo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly with a smile in his eyes.

    ¡°If our information is correct, Night City should be King¡¯s nest. It will be very dangerous.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were deep.

    ¡°You also know it¡¯s dangerous.¡± Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°Other than me, who else do you think is more suitable to take this mission?¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. It was precisely because it was dangerous that he needed someone reliable. Bo Xiao was indeed the most suitable person to do this.

    ¡°Be careful.¡± In the end, Jun Shiling could only say this.

    ¡°If something happens to me¡­¡±

    ¡°No one will help you take care of An Rao.¡± Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, Jun Shiling interrupted him. There was a hint of anger on his cold face. ¡°Take care of your lover yourself.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, fake brother.¡± Bo Xiao smiled helplessly and did not say anything else.

    There was a moment of silence.

    After a while, Jun Shiling said, ¡°Return safely.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°Since themander has spoken, I will not let you down.¡±

 Chapter 900 - War Strategy

    <h4>Chapter 900: War Strategy</h4>

    On the other side of the room, An Rao was excitedly looking at the various designs that Xia Wanyuan had shown her. As An Rao looked at them, she gave her opinion.

    After Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao finished talking about work, they sat quietly by the window and looked at the two people chatting.

    The food was gradually brought in and the four of them sat together.

    ¡°Come, cheers.¡± Bo Xiao raised his ss. ¡°I¡¯m leaving China in two days. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of An Rao.¡±

    The four wine sses clinked together with a crisp sound.

    The light shone quietly on the four of them as they toasted each other. Steam rose from the dining table.

    After eating and drinking to their hearts¡¯ content, the four of them sat on the observation tform at the peak of the mountain and looked out the window at the bright lights.

    Xia Wanyuan took out a booklet from her bag and handed it to Bo Xiao. ¡°I know you¡¯re going on a mission. This is for you.¡±

    Bo Xiao took it in surprise and flipped it open. His eyes widened slightly as he looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°This?¡±

    ¡°She wrote it. On the battlefield, in addition to modern technological weapons, tactics are important. Weapons are dead. Tactics are alive.¡±

    ¡°Sister-inw wrote it?!¡± Bo Xiao could not hide the shock on his face. Although he had only casually flipped through it just now, he could feel the exquisiteness of the military tactics described in this small book.

    Bo Xiao really did not expect Xia Wanyuan to know these.

    ¡°Keep it. I hope it¡¯s useful to you.¡± After Xia Wanyuan came to the modern world, she had learned some knowledge about the battlefield and knew that technology was developing very quickly.

    But weapons are static, and the ever-changing art of war is alive.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s martial arts were not very good and she could only defend herself. However, the reason why she couldmand the three armies was because she could oversee the rear andmand the exquisite military tactics.

    Knowing that Bo Xiao was going abroad, Xia Wanyuan speciallybined some of the methods she had used to govern the army in her previous life with modern ideals. She wrote some military strategies and gathered them in a booklet and gave them to Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Thank you, Sister-inw.¡± Bo Xiao gratefully put the booklet away.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re so good.¡± Although An Rao did not understand what Xia Wanyuan had given Bo Xiao, from Bo Xiao¡¯s expression, she knew that what Xia Wanyuan had given him should be extremely precious.

    ¡°Why are you so polite?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. In the modern world, she no longer had the chance to go to the battlefield. Although she did not know how useful the countless experience she had umted in actualbat was in the modern world, it was a good thing if she could help Bo Xiao a little.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, the military strategies she had written were very ordinary. However, she did not expect that a long timeter, because of her ideas, the entire Chinese military system would be updated.

    ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s go down the mountain.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the time. It was already nine in the evening.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Bo Xiao brought An Rao home, while Jun Shiling returned to the manor with Xia Wanyuan.

    The car drove for a while before Xia Wanyuan finally could not help but turn to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m thinking.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Back then, when you dominated the battlefield and controlled the three armies, what kind of person were you? You could actually write such a profound and extremely operational military method.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I also want to know how youmand the modern army.¡±

    Jun Shiling was not surprised that Xia Wanyuan had guessed his identity. After all, he had never nned to hide anything from her. ¡°Let me book the next drama.¡±

    ¡°Huh? What drama?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not understand Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden change of topic.

    ¡°I specially customized a drama for you.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Madam, can you open a back door for me?¡±

    ¡°Approved.¡±

 Chapter 901 - The Princess Took Action Settled An Lin

    <h4>Chapter 901: The Princess Took Action Settled An Lin</h4>

    ¡°Thank you, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°How many more surprises are you going to give me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little amused. ¡°What surprise? Don¡¯t you know my identity in my previous life? It¡¯s normal to go to war.¡±

    ¡°Kiss me.¡± Jun Shiling could not hear what Xia Wanyuan had said at all. He only felt that the person in his arms was glowing. Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, he lowered his head.

    After a while, Jun Shiling finally let go of the breathless Xia Wanyuan. Looking at the limp Xia Wanyuan in his arms, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was surging.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, who had once controlled the three armies and epted the worship of the people, now leaning softly in his arms, even someone as rational as Jun Shiling could not resist the temptation of conquest.

    ¡°I love you so much.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with passion.

    ¡°I love you very much too,¡± Xia Wanyuan panted softly.

    That night, the omnipotent special assistant, Lin Jing, received Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions again.

    Looking at the message on her phone, Lin Jing adjusted her sses and sighed silently. ¡°It¡¯s not so easy to get an annual sry of ten million yuan.¡±

    <i>Why did CEO Jun suddenly want to give Madam a drama again? He even wanted to customize a script for her. He even specified the character plot.?</i>

    <i>Forget it, I did not understand his boss¡¯s thoughts. The most important thing now was who should I find to write a script that CEO Jun would be satisfied with?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    A new day arrived. The sun rose and dispersed the cold of the end of autumn. At the entrance of the hospital, An Lin was helping Mother An out.

    ¡°Mom, why don¡¯t you stay in the hospital for a few more days? The doctor said that you should be observed for a while longer.¡± Looking at Mother An¡¯s haggard face, An Lin¡¯s face was filled with worry.

    ¡°No, let¡¯s settle your matters first.¡± Mother An¡¯s voice was still very weak. ¡°Do you know where your sister lives?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I have Bo Xiao¡¯s contact information.¡± When An Lin mentioned Bo Xiao, she lowered her head slightly and blushed.

    ¡°Why do you have his contact information?¡± Mother An saw the change in An Lin¡¯s expression.

    ¡°He gave it to me himself.¡± An Lin seemed to be covering up the topic with a shy expression. ¡°Mom, call him.¡±

    Mother An looked at An Lin hesitantly, then took out her phone and called the number An Lin had given her.

    Mother An spoke politely because of Bo Xiao¡¯s status. She had thought that Bo Xiao would be difficult to deal with, but she did not expect Bo Xiao to be so straightforward and give her the address.

    The two of them found Bo Xiao¡¯s house and pressed the doorbell. An Rao opened the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡± An Rao looked at them expressionlessly, then turned to let them in.

    The floor heater was on in the house, and An Rao was only wearing a sling shirt. When Mother An saw her outfit, her blood pressure immediately began to rise.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Bo Xiao?¡± Mother An frowned.

    ¡°Just look for me if you need anything.¡± An Rao casually sat on the sofa. Bo Xiao was actually in the bedroom, but he said that he was annoyed by the two of them, so he did not want toe out.

    ¡°Have you told Bo Xiao what I mentioned to you thest time?¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡± Ever since Mother An chose to give up on An Rao, An Rao hadpletely given up. At this moment, she could not be bothered with the so-called mother and child rtionship.

    ¡°You wretched girl, didn¡¯t I ask you to tell Bo Xiao that you¡¯ll raise An Lin¡¯s child?¡± Halfway through her sentence, Mother An saw An Rao¡¯s plump figure that was entuated by the halter top. She didn¡¯t think she looked good and only felt that she was despicable.

    She nced at the demure and calm An Lin beside her. She hated that An Lin was not her biological child.

    ¡°Impossible. I won¡¯t raise someone else¡¯s child.¡± An Rao rejected directly.

    ¡°That¡¯s your sister¡¯s child! Why are you so insensible? Before your sister was adopted by us, she suffered too much and her health was not good, so she can¡¯t abort the child. But after the child is born, she would bebeled as having a child out of wedlock. How do you want her to live in the future?¡±

    Hearing Mother An¡¯s words, An Rao would have felt sad in the past, but now, she felt that it was ridiculous. ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°I just thought of a solution. Why don¡¯t you discuss with Bo Xiao and get the divorce certificate? Let Bo Xiao and An Lin register their marriage. In the future, the child will have a legitimate status.¡±

    You and Bo Xiao can still live together until the child¡¯s household register is settle.¡±

    In Mother An¡¯s opinion, Bo Xiao liked An Rao because An Rao knew how to seduce men. Their marriage probably wouldn¡¯tst long, so he might as well help An Lin resolve this matter first.

    Furthermore, Bo Xiao had actually given An Lin his contact information. Perhaps Bo Xiao was also interested in An Lin. Who knew if the two of them could seed in the future?

    After all, An Lin had a good personality, high education, and was sensible. No one would dislike An Lin.

    Before An Rao could refute Mother An¡¯s actions, the bedroom door opened and Bo Xiao walked out with pursed lips. ¡°Who do you think you are? Who are you to criticize my marriage with An Rao?¡±

    ¡°Mr. Bo.¡± Mother An had spoken to An Rao alone just now, but now, Bo Xiao had heard it in person. She felt a little embarrassed. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Bo Xiao pulled An Rao over. ¡°I called you over today to tell you that An Rao¡¯s matters will have nothing to do with your An family in the future. Your An family is biased. And your adopted daughte wants to register her marriage with me?? Is she worthy? What are you? Get lost.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked furious. He knew that the An family was biased, but he did not expect them to be so biased.

    ¡°Mr. Bo.¡± Hearing Bo Xiao say that she was not worthy, tears of grievance welled up in An Lin¡¯s eyes.

    Bo Xiao ignored An Lin¡¯s teary eyes and made a call. Soon, someone from the police station came.

    ¡°These two people trespassed on private property.¡± Bo Xiao pointed at Mother An and An Lin. ¡°Take them away.¡±

    Mother An had always valued face. In front of so many people, she did not want anyone to know about her rtionship with An Rao. She could only let the police take her away.

    An Lin was extremely unwilling. No matter how she looked at Bo Xiao pleadingly, Bo Xiao was unwilling to even look at her.

    At home, because Father An was an official, Mother An and An Lin were used to enjoying special treatment.

    However, no one in the Beijing police station would care about these two people. In addition to Bo Xiao¡¯s special instructions, Mother An and An Lin were locked up in the police station for more than ten days before they were released.

    When they were finally able to walk out of the police station, the two originally morous people were now in a sorry state.

    ¡°Professor Xia?¡± Looking at the extremely noble Xia Wanyuan at the entrance of the police station, An Lin frowned. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had a good rtionship. She felt that Xia Wanyuan had ill intentions.

    ¡°I¡¯m not An Rao. I don¡¯t have any scruples about you,¡± Xia Wanyuan said, her tone cold. ¡°I have that photo too. I¡¯ll give you a choice. Either the An family¡¯s reputation will be ruined, or you and your precious adopted daughter will never set foot in Beijing.¡±

    Mother An did not know Xia Wanyuan. Hearing her words, she felt baffled. However, An Lin leaned over and said something to Mother An. The way Mother An looked at Xia Wanyuan instantly changed.

    ¡°What right do you have?¡± Mother An was still a little indignant.?<i>This woman who suddenly appeared was actually from the Wei family? What rtionship did she have with An Rao??</i>

    ¡°You can try, if you want to gamble with your husband¡¯s decades of career.¡±

 Chapter 902 - The Princess Infuriated Mother An

    <h4>Chapter 902: The Princess Infuriated Mother An</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words hit the nail on the head.

    The source of all the honor in the An family and all the privileges that Mother An could enjoy in school came from Father An¡¯s status.

    Knowing that her goal had been achieved, Xia Wanyuan turned to leave.

    However, after taking two steps, Xia Wanyuan stopped again.

    She was not someone who liked to argue, but thinking of the way Mother An treated An Rao, Xia Wanyuan spoke again.

    ¡°Let me introduce myself. I¡¯m a professor at Qing University and the chairman of the Xiafeng Group. Old Madam Wei is my grandmother and I¡¯m An Rao¡¯s best friend.¡±

    Bo Xiao is now a lieutenant general. In terms of position, Father An can only lower his head in front of him.¡±

    With every word Xia Wanyuan said, Mother An¡¯s face turned paler.

    ¡°Oh, and Bo Xiao¡¯s best friend is the head of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling.¡± Looking at Mother An¡¯s pale face, a cold glint shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°The Jun family?!¡± No matter how little Mother An knew about the major families, she knew that the Jun family was one of the top families in China. It was a family that Father An had wanted to build a rtionship with for his entire life, but he could not even touch the door.

    <i>And now, Xia Wanyuan was saying that Bo Xiao was Jun Shiling¡¯s good friend?!?</i>

    <i>If i had not caused my rtionship with An Rao and Bo Xiao to be so stiff, wouldn¡¯t we have been able to build a rtionship with Jun Shiling?!?</i>

    <i>Oh my god,</i>?Mother An finally realized what she had missed.

    You think others treat fish eyes as a pearl, but you never thought that you were actually blinded and bewitched to the point where you couldn¡¯t see any of your biological daughter¡¯s merits.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were like a sharp knife that cut through Mother An¡¯s mask of self-deception.

    Mother An broke out in cold sweat and could no longer stand. An Lin hurriedly reached out to support her, but Mother An retracted her arm.

    Some things were easy to figure out once a gap was opened.

    She recalled that her rtionship with An Rao was actually not so bad when she was young. On the contrary, An Rao was very sensible when she was young.

    It was from the moment they adopted An Lin that An Rao began to lie and had a bad temper.

    However, had An Rao really changed? Did someone deliberately make her and Father An feel this way?

    Looking at Mother An¡¯s retracted arm, hatred shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I¡­¡± Mother An wanted to say something, but Xia Wanyuan interrupted her.

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to take back what¡¯s been spilled. It¡¯s still the same thing. Take your precious adopted daughter and leave the capital forever. Otherwise, you can see what the consequences are.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Mother An, who was on the verge of copse, and said thest sentence, before turning around to leave.

    ¡°Mom.¡± An Lin was afraid. She did not know what to do.

    ¡°Shut up.¡± For the first time, Mother An did not have the patience to respond to An Lin. She shook off An Lin¡¯s hand that wanted to support her and walked out slowly.

    She called An Rao several times, but she could not get through.

    Mother An walked for a short hundred meters as if she had aged ten years.

    At the airport in the suburbs of Beijing, there were no more nes on the runway.

    However, An Rao had been standing here for almost half an hour.

    ¡°Sister An Rao, let¡¯s go.¡± The kind-looking woman walked over andforted An Rao. ¡°Bo Xiao wille back safely. Don¡¯t worry too much. I used to wait for that person like this too.

    After that, as I waited and waited, I¡¯ve thought it through. Let¡¯s just live our own lives at home and stabilize the family. Don¡¯t let them worry. Men are good people who make contributions outside. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nodded. ¡°Thank you, Sister Liu.¡±

    She looked at the blue sky again. There were still traces of clouds left by the ne.

    <i>You must return safely.?</i>

    An Rao chanted in her heart.

 Chapter 903 - Reverse Clarification

    <h4>Chapter 903: Reverse rification</h4>

    Since Xia Wanyuan did not appreciate it and rejected Camellia¡¯s endorsement invitation, Camellia did not insist and chose the second n, which was Lin Jiayin, who was known as the moonlight in the entertainment industry.

    When Lin Jiayin had just turned 18, she became famous for her first acting role in a famous Chinese director¡¯s youth school movie. Because of her high starting point, the subsequent resources were also very good.

    Every film was a big production by a big director. She never participated in television dramas that lowered her status. The endorsements in her hands were all internationally famous brands. Last year, she even won the Fei Tian Best Actress Award andpletely ascended.

    After some discussion, Camellia¡¯s marketing department finally chose to send an invitation to Lin Jiayin.

    Lin Jiayin quickly replied. Even international movie queens would fight for the endorsement of Camellia, let alone Chinese celebrities.

    After signing the contract, Camellia¡¯s official Weibo quickly held hands with Lin Jiayin¡¯s studio and announced this news to the outside world.

    It was originally a matter of joy for the fans and business partners, but something went wrong because of a marketing ount.

    ¡°ording to Camellia¡¯s internal staff, Camellia brand did not choose Lin Jiayin at first, but Xia Wanyuan. However, Xia Wanyuan rejected Camellia¡¯s endorsement, so this endorsement fell on Lin Jiayin.¡±

    This revtion was simply telling everyone that Lin Jiayin had taken the endorsement that Xia Wanyuan did not want. This angered Lin Jiayin¡¯s fans.

    [ Can you have some shame? Our Ah Yin has a box office worth tens of millions. She¡¯s the Fei Tian Best Actress, a proper A-list big shot. Who does Xia Wanyuan think she is? Our Ah Yin picked up an endorsement that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t want? Ridiculous. ]

    [The person in front, it¡¯s fine if you listen to the marketing ount¡¯s words, but why are you scolding Xia Wanyuan? Xia Wanyuan is a Gold Award winner at the International Music Competition, a member of China¡¯s Go team, a dual faculty professor at Qing University, a Chinese painting master, and the current record holder in the country. How do you have the cheek to ask her what she is?]

    [Hehe, are you talking about anything rted to the entertainment industry? In the entertainment industry, she¡¯s just a B-list celebrity. A trash B-list celebrity who crossed the line to touch Lin Jiayin.]

    The Weibo post that was originally not very popr was directly pushed to the top by the fans of both sides.

    The surroundingizens did not believe the authenticity of this Weibo post. After all, no one would reject Camellia¡¯s endorsement.

    However, not long after, Camellia¡¯s official Weibo posted a Weibo post personally.

    @ Camellia Official Weibo: ¡°Miss Lin Jiayin is the most suitable spokesperson for Camellia brand that we have chosen.¡±

    This sentence was originally nothing, but at such a special moment, it was hinting to everyone.

    in Jiayin had been carefully selected. She had not picked up an endorsement that others did not want.

    In other words, they were telling everyone that Xia Wanyuan was the one who was not selected.

    With the official support of the brand, Lin Jiayin¡¯s fans were on steroids, crazily mocking Xia Wanyuan and her fans.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were stifled, but there was nothing they could do.

    At this moment, ¡°Wanshi Studio¡± directly faced Camellia head-on.

    @ Wan Shi Studio: ¡°Our studio has always chosen our artistes¡¯ endorsements carefully. Even though the brand is as famous as Camellia, we still chose to give up our coboration with Camellia after considering thepatibility of the brand and our artistes. Thank you for your attention.¡±

    Everyone was shocked when they saw thepany¡¯s Weibo post.

    <i>Ah this?? Wan Shi Studio was so stubborn? After offending Camellia, did they not want Xia Wanyuan to survive in the international fashion industry in the future?</i>

 Chapter 904 - Trying on the Wedding Dress

    <h4>Chapter 904: Trying on the Wedding Dress</h4>

    Camellia¡¯s official Weibo only hinted secretly. They did not expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio to be so direct. With the support of the studio, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans straightened their backs.

    [Haha, p her in the face? Do you think Xia Wanyuan will swallow her anger? You even secretly hinted that she was not selected. Is this how a big brand behaves?]

    [Isn¡¯t she a little too unyielding? Camellia¡¯s influence is still very great. What if they upset Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fashion resources in the future?]

    [ Instead, I feel that this is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s style. Who cares if you¡¯re a big brand? If you dare to nder me, I won¡¯t give you any face. I really love her. ]

    [Hehe, she¡¯s just pretending. Xia Wanyuan crossed the line to harm Lin Jiayin. Look at how few endorsements she has. They can be counted on one hand. Saying she¡¯s a B-lister is already praising her.]

    To Lin Jiayin¡¯s fans, the statement from Wan Shi Studio was undoubtedly a p to their faces. The fans immediately saw Xia Wanyuan as the first person on the cklist and began to talk about ¡°Xia Wanyuan crossing the line to scam others¡±.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were worried about her fashion resources and Lin Jiayin¡¯s fans were mocking Xia Wanyuan for crossing the line.

    Xiu Yi¡¯s official Weibo ount suddenly released a set of advertisement posters.

    The post that Xiu Yi had posted did not even have words attached. Just a few photos had already attracted tens of thousands ofments in just a few minutes.

    The first photo was a photo of Xia Wanyuan and An Rao. Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing an apricot-white coat, was standing together with An Rao, who was wearing a fiery red woolen coat. One was cold, and the other was enchanting, creating endless tension.

    The second photo was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personal photo. In front of the firece, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing an embroidered sweater, only revealed her side profile, but it made one feel warm and genial, as if the cold of autumn and winter had been dispelled.

    In the third photo, An Rao was standing in a ball of mes. She was wearing a ck windbreaker, and the phoenix that was picked out with golden thread on the side matched the mes around her. An Rao¡¯s face was cold, and her gaze was slightly lowered. She was like a snake demon that had walked out of the fire.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, who were still arguing with the anti-fans, immediately threw aside their other thoughts when they saw Xiu Yi¡¯s Weibo.

    [Mommy, I saw a fairy!]

    [ Tsk! Xia Wanyuan killed someone with her beauty online again. Boohoo, why are these two women so beautiful? ]

    [ Did Xia Wanyuan and An Rao endorse Xiu Yi? Who exactly is Xiu Yi? They caused such a hugemotion at the opening ceremony, and now they can even get An Rao and Xia Wanyuan to endorse together. F*ck. ]

    While Xiu Yi¡¯s official Weibo posted promotional posters, various excellentmercial advertising spots in the country began to release promotional posters and videos of Xia Wanyuan and An Rao.

    Almost everyone stopped in their tracks when they saw these promotional posters.

    Hence, there was a traffic jam in the entire country that day.

    At first, the people from the Traffic Bureau were still a little confused. It was only when they realized that the most congested ces often had Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s publicity photos hanging on them that they hurriedly organized people to clear them.

    It turned out that beauty was a magical superpower.

    As soon as Xiu Yi¡¯s advertisement was released, the number of orders soared, and the topic of discussion on the Inte soared.

    The cooperation between Camellia and Lin Jiayin seemed dim under Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s promotional video.

    While the entire Inte was discussing the promotional posters taken by Xia Wanyuan and An Rao, the two of them were sitting in thergest bridal shop in Beijing, flipping through the exquisite picture book in their hands.

    ¡°This crystal diamond tail is so beautiful! This beaded fishtail is also beautiful. Aiya, look at this blue sea series wedding dress.¡± An Rao flipped through the booklet as she spoke excitedly to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°It¡¯s indeed very beautiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded in agreement. Compared to the ancient phoenix cor and robe, modern wedding dresses had their own characteristics and beauty.

    While the two of them were talking, the curtain in front of them was pulled open.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. Tang Yin was wearing a wedding gown with a long tail and a dazzling crystal crown. She was looking at them with a smile.

    ¡°How about this?¡± Tang Yin had a blissful smile on her face, but she was also a little nervous as she asked for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion.

    ¡°It suits you very well.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Fu Li was finally getting married. Fu Li¡¯s mother was extremely happy. She had even specially prepared more than ten sets of wedding dresses for Tang Yin to try on. Currently, this set was the most suitable for Tang Yin.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Yin believed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s taste. Since she had agreed, Tang Yin chose this dress as the main dress for the wedding.

    The curtains were drawn again. Tang Yin went to change into the evening dress. An Rao pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Sister, can the two of us try it on too? These wedding dresses are too beautiful. Anyway, we¡¯re just waiting.¡±

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s suggestion, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She had never worn a modern wedding dress before. ncing at the wedding dress beside her that was filled with sparkling diamonds, Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± An Rao pulled Xia Wanyuan to choose her wedding dress.

    When Tang Yin came out after changing into her wedding gown, she did not see Xia Wanyuan and the rest. She looked around and heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground behind her. Tang Yin turned around and smiled.

    ¡°You look so good in this.¡±

 Chapter 905 - Baby, I Want to See It

    <h4>Chapter 905: Baby, I Want to See It</h4>

    When An Rao was looking at the sketchbook, she had taken a fancy to the superrge dress from the ocean series. The pure white dress was covered with ayer of ocean that was hand-embroidered with blue gems. The diamonds embedded in it made the entire dress shine.

    Xia Wanyuan chose an off-shoulder starry sky wedding dress. On the huge tail, diamonds were embedded, as if a sea of stars hadnded on the tail of the dress. As Xia Wanyuan walked, the starry sky reflected thousands of lights.

    The staff were all stunned. In their line of work, they were long used to ttering guests. However, at this moment, all sorts of praises surged in their hearts. It was not because of sales, but because they were really shocked by the beauty in front of them.

    Standing in front of the huge mirror, Xia Wanyuan tilted her head slightly. It was her first time wearing a wedding dress, and it did look good.

    ¡°Sister, look here. I¡¯ll take a photo for you.¡± Hearing An Rao¡¯s voice, Xia Wanyuan turned her head slightly. An Rao pressed the shutter.

    ¡°Why did you take this?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. The small crown on her head reflected a bright light.

    ¡°I sent the photo out.¡± An Rao smiled slyly.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. She was about to ask who An Rao had sent it to, but on second thought, who else could she send it to?

    In the meeting room of the Jun Corporation, everyone was arguing intensely about the specific details of the corporation¡¯s industrial reform.

    Suddenly, a WeChat notification sounded. Everyone had already stopped arguing and looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting in front.

    At such an important moment in the group meeting, other than Jun Shiling, no one dared to bring their phones in.

    There were only a few people on Jun Shiling¡¯s WeChat. It was obvious who had sent him a WeChat message. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression clearly softened. When everyone saw his change, they chuckled in their hearts.<i>?I¡¯m going to eat dog food again.?</i>

    Opening WeChat, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze froze.

    Standing sideways, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a huge wedding dress, seemed to be wrapped in the starry sky.

    ¡°Break for fifteen minutes,¡± Jun Shiling said and stood up.

    In the bridal shop, Xia Wanyuan had just taken a photo for An Rao when her phone rang.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. ¡°Aren¡¯t you in a meeting?¡±

    ¡°Are you deliberately provoking me?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s maic and low voice came through the phone.

    ¡°An Rao sent it.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t scold me for no reason.¡±

    ¡°You look very good.¡± Jun Shiling had already downloaded the photo and set it as his desktop background. Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was looking back in theputer, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze softened. ¡°If you see a good wedding dress today, buy it and let them send it to the manor, okay? Wear it for me tonight. I want to see it too.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m here to help Tang Yin look at the wedding dress. Besides, isn¡¯t the wedding dress only worn during the wedding?¡± Helplessness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She knew that she could not let Jun Shiling see this.

    ¡°Baby, I want to see it.¡± Jun Shiling insisted.

    ¡°Okay, buy, buy.¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused. ¡°You can reimburse me.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± There was a smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s voice. ¡°I¡¯m going to a meeting. Take your time. Love you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± In front of the shop assistant, Xia Wanyuan could not say anything and could only nod.

    In the end, though she came to apany Tang Yin to try on the wedding dress, Tang Yin only liked three sets, but Xia Wanyuan bought ten.

    The staff of the bridal shoppleted a year¡¯s worth of results in one go. When they sent Xia Wanyuan and the rest off, they were overjoyed.

    The staff took a photo of thest shipment and posted it online.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is simply a God of Fortune. Everyone knows that Tang Yin and Fu Li are about to get married, right? Xia Wanyuan apanied Tang Yin to look at the wedding dress today. She and An Rao are also trying it out. In the end, when they left, they bought ten sets at once.

    Our bridal shop is already preparing to take a year off, hahahaha!! After all, two years of results have been settled, hahahaha, hahahaha. I¡¯m so happy!! ¡±

    [Ten sets¡­ The cheapest set is 200,000 yuan. Poverty limits my imagination.]

    [I don¡¯t want to see the list. I want to see Xia Wanyuan in her wedding dress.]

    [ Only I¡¯m curious. Why did Xia Wanyuan buy a wedding dress? Is she getting married? ]

    [The one in front, if I were as rich as her, I would want to buy dozens of wedding dresses at home. Really, every time I pass by a wedding dress shop, my eyes light up. Wedding dresses are really beautiful. Boohoo, I¡¯m so envious.]

    Theizens¡¯ closest guess to the truth was suppressed just like that.

    At that moment, the living room of the manor was filled with ten huge boxes. Hearing footsteps at the door, Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°CEO Jun, reimbursement.¡±

 Chapter 906 - Old Face Red

    <h4>Chapter 906: Old Face Red</h4>

    ¡°There¡¯s no problem with reimbursement.¡± There was a heater in the floor in the house. As Jun Shiling walked in, he took off his coat and pulled down his tie before throwing it aside. ¡°I want to check the goods first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up. She had indeed bought many sets and bought them all because they looked good. She had only tried two sets because she found it troublesome. ¡°Then help me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened.

    All the servants in the main building had been cleared away. Jun Shiling pressed the switch and the curtains in the living room gradually closed.

    The fire in the firece was burning brightly, and the temperature in the room was not low. However, Xia Wanyuan, who had taken off her sweater, still felt ayer of goosebumps on her arms.

    Jun Shiling raised the temperature in the room a little, then opened a box and put the wedding dress on Xia Wanyuan. He patiently helped her adjust the crown on her head.

    ¡°So beautiful.¡± Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a dream-like wedding dress. Xia Wanyuan was a little shy from his gaze.

    Jun Shiling looked at it for a while before opening another box and helping Xia Wanyuan change.

    Anyway, it was all Jun Shiling moving. Xia Wanyuan was happy to be free, so she followed Jun Shiling.

    Time passed minute by minute. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan try the wedding dresses she bought back one by one.

    Thest set Xia Wanyuan wore was the starry sky series she had sent Jun Shiling.

    Finally, he tidied up Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skirt. Jun Shiling stood up and took two steps back, carefully observing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current appearance.

    The toga design revealed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite corbone. Her slender waist was slender and her huge skirt was filled with dazzling diamonds. In front of Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes had always been dependent and gentle. Looking at Xia Wanyuan like this, Jun Shiling could not help but narrow his eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s a little cold.¡± Xia Wanyuan sneezed. Jun Shiling walked forward and picked her up. The long drag extended to the ground, and the diamonds collided with the ground with a crisp sound.

    The bedroom was smaller, and the temperature was much higher than in the living room.

    Xia Wanyuan was ced on the bed by Jun Shiling in her wedding dress. Jun Shiling did not do anything else. Instead, he stood quietly and stared at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement, her tone smug. ¡°You¡¯re so infatuated with me?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes glistened and the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Mm, I¡¯m especially infatuated with you. Why are you so good-looking?¡±

    ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re infatuated with me because I¡¯m beautiful?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a pillow and leaned back, making herself sit morefortably.

    ¡°You only know how to talk nonsense.¡± Helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He finally went forward and hugged Xia Wanyuan, kissing her coquettishly.

    Looking at the wedding dress that was wrinkled by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan pushed him angrily. ¡°This is the most expensive dress I bought today.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll reimburse you.¡± After saying this, Jun Shiling leaned down. ¡°I¡¯ll buy more if it¡¯s broken.¡±

    ¡°Beast.¡± In the end, Xia Wanyuan only had time to say this one word before Jun Shiling swallowed the rest.

    The next morning, Uncle Wang brought people into the main building to clean up. The entire living room was filled with scattered wedding dresses, scaring Uncle Wang so much that he hurriedly asked the servants to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡±

    After the servants left, Uncle Wang looked into the living room with a red face and half-closed eyes. ¡°Young Master? Madam? Are you awake??¡±

    No one responded. Uncle Wang shouted a few more times before boldly walking into the living room.

    The area of a wedding gown was indeed toorge. The huge dress was scattered on the ground. Uncle Wang closed his eyes in fear and picked up the dresses one by one.

    He was afraid that he would see something he shouldn¡¯t see. He was afraid that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan would sleep on the buried carpet.

    Uncle Wang only felt relieved after searching through all the wedding dresses.

    However, on second thought, how could he have such thoughts just now??<i>Could Young Master be that kind of person?</i>?The more he thought about it, the redder Uncle Wang¡¯s face became. Fortunately, there was no one else around. Otherwise, at his age, how could he face them?

    However, when Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling got out of bed and saw the wedding dress that had been torn to pieces and brought out by the servants, Uncle Wang¡¯s wrinkled face trembled.

    <i>Haha, Young Master was indeed such a person.?</i>

    After dinner, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to Fu Li¡¯s house and left.

    Although it was Tang Yin¡¯s wedding today, Tang Yin was already waiting at the door. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, she hurriedly waved at her. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time!¡±

 Chapter 907 - Iâ€™m Her Backer

    <h4>Chapter 907: I¡¯m Her Backer</h4>

    Tang Yin personally brought Xia Wanyuan in. ¡°Come, Wanyuan, sit here. I have to prepare my makeup. If you need anything, tell the butler.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and watched Tang Yin leave surrounded by the bridesmaids.

    Fu Li knew that Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin had a good rtionship and had once suggested that Tang Yin invite Xia Wanyuan to be her bridesmaid, but Tang Yin had rejected him.

    Up until now, Fu Li did not know about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship with Jun Shiling. He only treated Xia Wanyuan as Tang Yin¡¯s close friend, but to Tang Yin, who knew everything, she felt that it was not appropriate to let Xia Wanyuan be the bridesmaid.

    Tang Yin did not have parents, so the Fu family chose a residence not far from the main residence to be the ce where Tang Yin got married. There were not many guests here now, so Xia Wanyuan waited for Tang Yin to get married while looking at the festive decorations for the wedding.

    ¡°They¡¯re here, they¡¯re here. They¡¯re here to escort the bride.¡± Not long after, it suddenly became lively outside. Voices surged. Fu Li walked into the courtyard in a ck suit, his entire body filled with joy.

    Apanied by a group of escorts, Fu Li walked into the building. Soon, cheers came from inside.

    In the next second, Fu Li walked out with Tang Yin in his arms. The groomsmen and bridesmaids carried Tang Yin¡¯s huge skirt.

    Golden ribbons fell one after another. Meeting Fu Li¡¯s excited gaze, Tang Yin smiled in embarrassment. She suddenly thought of Xia Wanyuan and hurriedly pulled Fu Li. ¡°Let Wanyuan follow our wedding car.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Li nodded.

    It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time attending a modern wedding, so she was unfamiliar and curious about everything. Sitting in the gift car covered in flowers, Xia Wanyuan was also tainted with joy.

    Fu Li and Tang Yin¡¯s wedding was eventually decided to be held at the Fu family. At this moment, the Fu family had already been decorated into a sea of celebration.

    A kilometer away from the Fu family¡¯s mansion, flowers and balloons of all colors were entangled on both sides of the road. Fu Li and Tang Yin¡¯s wedding photos were arranged on both sides, extending into the Fu family¡¯s mansion.

    There was an endless stream of guests and luxury cars.

    As the wedding car entered, the atmosphere in the main residence was ignited.

    With Fu Li¡¯s instructions, Xia Wanyuan was led to the family area in the inner courtyard by the butler.

    Not far away, Tang Yin and Fu Li were exchanging vows in front of the pastor Seeing Fu Li¡¯s eyes filled with Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt quite touched.

    However, there were always some people who liked to destroy such a beautiful atmosphere.

    ¡°Tsk, I wonder why Cousin didn¡¯t marry so many young socialites of equal social status and insisted on marrying such an old woman.¡±

    ¡°Damn, an old woman knows many tricks and can coax people. My ssmate¡¯s daughteres from a wealthy family. She studied abroad in America and has a master¡¯s degree. No matter what, she¡¯s better than Tang Yin, who hasn¡¯t even finished elementary school and came from the countryside.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, doesn¡¯t the Fu family feel embarrassed? They even made a big fuss about marrying such a wife. If my family marries such a woman, my parents will probably break my brother¡¯s legs.¡±

    The discussion at the table beside them became louder and louder. From time to time, mockingughter sounded. Xia Wanyuan nced at the women who were gossiping and estimated that they should be from the Fu family.

    Since ancient times, the words ¡°matched in terms of social status¡± had been regarded as the golden rule inrge families.

    Tang Yin had married into the Fu family and be the Fu family¡¯s daughter-inw. Even though Fu Li and the Fu family treated her well, if she did not have a strong family backing her, she would be looked down on wherever she went.

    Even if they did not say it in front of Fu Li¡¯s family, behind their backs, they would treat Fu Li and Tang Yin¡¯s union as a joke like these gossipers.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes narrowed. Tang Yin did not have a family, but she would not let Tang Yin be looked down upon.

    She hade today to use money as a gift, but now she had changed her mind.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked to a quiet spot to call Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling naturally had no objections to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request, but he wanted a small reward. ¡°Then kiss me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m attending a wedding.¡± Xia Wanyuan almostughed from anger.

    ¡°Kiss me and I¡¯ll send it over immediately.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Your voice on the phone is very far away from the noise. There must be no one else around you.¡±

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to send it. I¡¯ll think of a way myself.¡± Xia Wanyuan was definitely not used to Jun Shiling¡¯s bad habit.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll send it. What can I do to you?¡± Seeing that he had angered her, Jun Shiling hurriedly coaxed her. ¡°I¡¯ll get Lin Jing to send it over immediately. After dinner, get Lin Jing to send you back.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    ¡°Be good and eat less spicy food. Your stomach can¡¯t take it.¡± Jun Shiling instructed her again before letting Xia Wanyuan hang up first.

    ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, Jun Shiling immediately sent Lin Jing to prepare things and rush to the Fu family as soon as possible.

    When he finished instructing, he looked at his phone again. Xia Wanyuan had sent him an emoticon on WeChat.

    The cute kitten slowly leaned forward and kissed the screen.

    Jun Shiling replied, ¡°This doesn¡¯t count. You¡¯re patronizing me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan quickly replied, ¡°Jun Shiling, don¡¯t push your luck.¡±

    At the wedding venue, Xia Wanyuan had already returned to her seat. Looking at the emoticon of the cat begging for mercy on her phone, Xia Wanyuan could not help but want tough.

    Sometimes, Jun Shiling was really childish and cute.

    The wedding went smoothly. On the stage, Tang Yin and Fu Li had already exchanged rings.

    Next, it was time for the newlyweds to serve tea to both parents.

    Tang Yin had no parents, so only the two elders of the Fu family sat on the tform.

    Anyone with a discerning eye would understand that this woman did not have the backing of her family.

    After Tang Yin finished serving the tea, Madam Fu held her hand, her eyes filled with relief.

    ¡°Ah Yin, our Fu Li has finally married you. You don¡¯t have parents, so we¡¯ll be your parents in the future. You guys are getting married, so the old man and I have prepared a gift for you. Live well and try to let us have chubby grandchildren as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Tang Yin looked at Fu Li with a red face and met his bright eyes. Thinking of Fu Li saying that he wanted a child in her earst night, Tang Yin blushed even more.

    At this moment, everyone in the audience was shocked by the gift list disyed on the screen.

    The string of properties, jewelry, and antiques simply blinded everyone.

    Madam Fu gave these to tell everyone that her Fu family valued Tang Yin very much. However, such a generous gift made some people¡¯s eyes red.

    ¡°Tsk tsk, the Fu family is precisely helping the poor. They directly helped a rural child be rich. She has such a good life.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s our fault for not having the ability to settle Young Master Fu. We don¡¯t even have to pay a single cent for the dowry. She directly snatched the entire Fu family assets without any contributions. The Fu family is not afraid of being cheated. It¡¯s all for nothing.¡±

    Everyone discussed and sighed softly about Tang Yin¡¯s good life. Her husband doted on her, and her inws thought so highly of her. Even though they were separated by a table, Xia Wanyuan could feel the jealousy rushing to the sky.

    Just as everyone was discussing, the door to the hall suddenly opened. Everyone looked over and saw a handsome man wearing gold-rimmed sses walk in with a very standard and proper smile on his face.

    Some of the business people present had already recognized him. Everyone was puzzled.<i>?Isn¡¯t this Jun Shiling¡¯s special assistant, Lin Jing??</i>

 Chapter 908 - Princess and CEO Junâ€™s Hug Photographed

    <h4>Chapter 908: Princess and CEO Jun¡¯s Hug Photographed</h4>

    The Fu family naturally knew Jun Shiling¡¯s special assistant. Mr. and Mrs. Fu hurriedly got up from their seats and weed Lin Jing.

    Everyone present knew that in a sense, Lin Jing was the representative of Jun Shiling¡¯s will. His appearance here was very likely rted to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Congrattions.¡± Lin Jing cupped his hands.

    The Fu family hurriedly raised their hands. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re too polite. Wee to our house. Please sit here.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m here today on behalf of CEO Jun and Madam Jun to give your daughter-inw a wedding gift.¡± Lin Jing had a standard smile on his face and maintained a distance from the Fu family. ¡°Your daughter-inw has always been on good terms with our Madam Jun. CEO Jun and Madam Jun are rtively busy, so they specially asked me to rush over.¡±

    Hearing Lin Jing¡¯s words, the Fu family¡¯s parents looked at Tang Yin in surprise. They had never heard of Tang Yin having any rtionship with Jun Shiling¡¯s wife.

    However, Tang Yin was looking at Xia Wanyuan with reddened eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at her tofort her.

    Tang Yin quickly retracted her gaze, but Fu Li still noticed her actions. Fu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan thoughtfully, then held Tang Yin¡¯s hand.

    While everyone was still shocked by Lin Jing¡¯s words, boxes of gifts were sent in.

    Boxes of red brocade nkets, dragon and phoenix pillows, and all sorts of expensive jewelry and jade were ced on them. Pairs of rosewood furniture were carried in.

    Everyone present was stunned. It was not because these things were expensive.

    But because,

    The big red brocade quilt, the dragon and phoenix pillows, the furniture and jewelry, the five pieces of gold and jade. These were all the standard configurations of the dowry!!!

    The Fu parents¡¯ eyes widened as they looked at Lin Jing in surprise. ¡°Mr. Lin, did Madam Jun give this to the Fu family??¡±

    Lin Jing nodded. ¡°Yes, Madam said that these things will be Miss Tang¡¯s dowry and they will all be sent to the Fu family.¡±

    <i>It was really dowry!</i>

    When Lin Jing said this, everyone looked at Tang Yin differently.

    However, this was not the end.

    Because in the next moment, Xia Wanyuan stood up.

    ¡°As Tang Yin¡¯s boss and friend, I have a gift for her too.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, a pile of gifts was carried in endlessly. They were actually all kinds of dowries.

    The guests beside Xia Wanyuanughed when they saw this situation. ¡°No way. Xia Wanyuan is so funny. She actually copied Jun Shiling and gave her dowry? Does she think she¡¯s very amazing?¡±

    However, before these people could finish speaking, a white-haired old man walked in with the dowry.

    Most people were still confused, but some people had already recognized him. ¡°The butler of the Wei family?!¡±

    The butler walked up to the Fu parents. ¡°The Wei family has speciallye to congratte you on your wedding. This is our Wei family¡¯s wedding gift to your daughter-inw.¡±

    The moment the butler said this, the room was in an uproar.

    <i>Not only did the Jun family send dowry, but why did the Wei familye?!!!</i>

    <i>Didn¡¯t they say that the daughter-inw of the Fu family was someone who came from the mountains and had no one to rely on? Why did the two top families in China send Tang Yin dowry on her wedding day??</i>

    How was this giving dowry? This was clearly here to tell everyone that Tang Yin¡¯s backing was the Jun family and the Wei family. If anyone dared to bully Tang Yin, they had to consider the people standing behind her.

    At this moment, those who doubted whether Tang Yin was worthy of Fu Lipletely shut their mouths. The Fu family rtives who originally felt that Tang Yin had no one to rely on and was good to bully also gave up on trying to establish their might in front of Tang Yin.

    Now that everyone had changed their minds, they no longer mocked Tang Yin. Their words were filled with envy toward the Fu family.

    ¡°How did the Fu family have such good taste to find such a formidable daughter-inw? That¡¯s the Jun family and the Wei family. The Fu family will never be able to touch them in their entire lives. Just because of a daughter-inw, they sessfully formed a rtionship with the Jun family and the Wei family.¡±

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Tang Yin¡¯s background to be so powerful. If I had known earlier, I would have gotten my son to marry her. Aiya, what a huge loss.¡±

    Listening to everyone¡¯s huge discussion, a cold glint shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Strength had always been the best thing to resolve all disputes.

    With the arrival of the Jun family and the Wei family, this wedding became even more lively.

    The Fu parents, who were already very satisfied with Tang Yin, were even more satisfied with her.

    To be able to get the Jun and Wei families to send dowry at the same time meant that the status of the entire Fu family would rise greatly. Furthermore, Tang Yin actually had a good rtionship with the matriarch of the Jun family. The Fu family did not dare to imagine how much benefits this would bring them.

    The others were envious and jealous, while the Fu family was filled with joy.

    When Fu Li and Tang Yin held hands and toasted the guests, they walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s table. Tang Yin¡¯s eyes were red.

    ¡°Wanyuan, thank you.¡± Tang Yin knew that it was definitely Xia Wanyuan¡¯s idea to have Jun Shiling and the Wei family send the dowry at the same time. Xia Wanyuan was backing her up so that others could not underestimate her.

    ¡°You must be happy.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and clinked sses with Tang Yin.

    u Li looked at Xia Wanyuan thoughtfully. He bent down 90 degrees and bowed to her. Then, he picked up his wine ss. ¡°Thank you for taking care of Ah Yin.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan epted Fu Li¡¯s bow and drank an entire ss of red wine.

    Infected by the joyous atmosphere of the wedding, Xia Wanyuan drank two sses of red wine. Lin Jing observed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation from afar and thought to himself,?<i>Oh no.</i>

    After the couple toasted, they were sent back to their wedding room ording to tradition. Tang Yin had already left, so Xia Wanyuan stood up to bid farewell to the Fu parents. Seeing this, Lin Jing stood up and followed behind Xia Wanyuan.

    From the back, there was nothing unusual about Xia Wanyuan. However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alcohol tolerance was extremely low to begin with. Two sses of red wine were already the limit.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were sparkling and her gaze was already a little dazed.

    Walking out of the door, a cold wind blew and her drunkenness surged. Xia Wanyuan could not help but sway.

    Before Lin Jing could step forward, in the car at the door, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan was drunk the moment he saw her. He had already pushed open the car door and gotten out. He rushed over in a few strides and hugged her.

    There were many media reporters at Tang Yin and Fu Li¡¯s wedding. Not far away, a reporter came out to get some air and happened to see Xia Wanyuan being carried into the car. He hurriedly picked up his phone and took a photo.

    Although only the back view of the man was captured, half of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile was very clear. Looking at the photo of Xia Wanyuan lying drunk on the shoulder of the man in the suit, the reporter smiled happily.

    He did not expect to have additional gains from reporting a wedding.

    <i>Wouldn¡¯t tomorrow¡¯s headlines be stable if the rtionship of a popr female celebrity was exposed??</i>

 Chapter 909 - Relationship Exposed

    <h4>Chapter 909: Rtionship Exposed</h4>

    Although she was drunk, Xia Wanyuan was still conscious, but her limbs were a little weak.

    Knowing that the person beside her was Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan let down her guard and leaned into his arms.

    Come, have some hangover soup.¡±

    Jun Shiling was originally in thepany. After sending Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message, he suddenly remembered that on this day, Xia Wanyuan would definitely drink more. Jun Shiling was really worried about her alcohol tolerance, so he rushed over.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and frowned slightly. She did not like the taste of the hangover soup.

    ¡°You won¡¯t feel bad after drinking it.¡± Jun Shiling handed the cup back.

    ¡°No, I won¡¯t feel bad if you coax me.¡± The drunk Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions gradually turned gentle.

    ¡°How?¡± Jun Shiling was amused by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and put down the hangover soup in his hand.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and looked up. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were bright, and her words seemed to have the mellow fragrance of red wine. ¡°You always let me coax you, and you coax me too.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t I coax you every day? How else do you want me to coax you?¡± Jun Shiling gently pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°Hmph, forget it.¡± Xia Wanyuan sulked and buried her head in Jun Shiling¡¯s chest, ignoring him.

    ¡°I was wrong.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s earlobe. ¡°Pay attention to me.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was already a little sleepy.

    Jun Shiling stopped calling her. Only when the breath on his chest gradually stabilized did Jun Shiling take the nket and cover her.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang.

    Hearing themotion, Xia Wanyuan moved uneasily. Jun Shiling reached out and patted her back. Xia Wanyuan quietened down, and Jun Shiling pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Young Master, a reporter took a photo of you and Madam just now. There¡¯s half of Madam¡¯s side profile and only your back view.¡± Lin Jing exined the situation simply.

    ¡°Send me the photo.¡± After thinking for a second, Jun Shiling finally said this.

    Lin Jing quickly sent the photo over. Jun Shiling took a look and didn¡¯t say anything else.

    Lin Jing waited for a while, but there was no reply from Jun Shiling. He asked someone to stop controlling the reporter¡¯s phone.

    He had worked for Jun Shiling for so long and knew Jun Shiling¡¯s habits. If he did not respond, it meant that he tacitly agreed.

    ¡°What lousy phone? You scared me to death.¡± Looking at the phone that could finally light up, the reporter could not help but heave a sigh of relief. It was not easy for him to take a photo of this shocking piece of news, but in the end, the phone¡¯s screen turned ck. He thought that there was something wrong with the phone.

    Fortunately, it could be turned on again. After checking the photos that were still intact in the photo album, the reporter hurriedly sent the photos to the work group.

    ¡°Brothers! Prepare the headlines!¡±

    After sleeping, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s drunkenness subsided a little.

    Smelling the familiar pine fragrance, Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and leaned towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Jun Shiling, it¡¯s a little cold.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had just woken up, had a soft voice that made one¡¯s heart skip a beat.

    ¡°Why are you so coquettish after drinking?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and hugged her tighter.

    ¡°My head hurts too.¡± Xia Wanyuan groaned.

    ¡°Be good, it won¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

    Jun Shiling was about to say something when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang. Xia Wanyuan had just pressed the answer button when Chen Yun¡¯s anxious voice sounded.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you and CEO Jun going public?!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was still a little confused.

    ¡°Look at Weibo! The topic has exploded!¡± Chen Yun saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s behavior and guessed that she did not know. Chen Yun panicked and hurriedly hung up the phone to contact thepany¡¯s public rtions team.

    Xia Wanyuan opened Weibo and took a look. The first topic was ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship exposed¡±, followed by ¡°Xia Wanyuan and a man hugging on the street¡±.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current high national poprity, the moment the media reported the news, it exploded on social media.

    The most popr Weibo post was a photo posted by a marketing ount.

    Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a red gown and leaned on the tall man¡¯s shoulder like a ball of mes, revealing half of her jade-like side profile. The man had one hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and the other on her back, hugging her entire body.

    Theizens instantly erupted. Even Xia Wanyuan¡¯srge number of male fans appeared.

    [!!!!!! Yuan Yuan, are you in a rtionship?! Mommy¡¯s cabbage has been eaten by a pig!! My heart hurts!! ]

    [This scene, I instantly imagined tens of thousands of domineering CEOs and their little wives¡¯ novels. Even if it¡¯s just a side profile, I can feel Xia Wanyuan¡¯s softness. It¡¯s so beautiful. Boohoo, Nuwa, I want to fight you.]

    [F*ck, my goddess!! Who stole my wife!! The hatred of stealing my wife is irreconcble!!!]

    Everyone¡¯s first reaction when they saw this news was¡­

    A female celebrity was revealed to have fallen in love. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s path to the entertainment industry was ruined. After all, in the entertainment industry, regardless of gender, fans had very low tolerance for idols falling in love.

    However, when everyone calmed down and thought about it,

    Xia Wanyuan did not seem to need to rely on the entertainment industry for a living. After all, when she had a lucky draw, the prizes were houses and cars.

    Hence, after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship was exposed, the fans¡¯ reaction was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. No one criticized Xia Wanyuan for being in a rtionship. The only thing everyone wanted to know was¡­

    <i>Who exactly was the brother-inw/son-inw/love rival????</i>

 Chapter 910 - Princessâ€™s Male Fanâ€™s Collective Heartbreak

    <h4>Chapter 910: Princess¡¯s Male Fan¡¯s Collective Heartbreak</h4>

    After reading Weibo in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan threw her phone aside and looked up at Jun Shiling, who was looking at the documents in his hand as if nothing had happened.

    Although Jun Shiling looked very calm, Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling too well. From his tightly pursed lips, Xia Wanyuan could tell that this person was actually very nervous.

    ¡°You did it?¡± Xia Wanyuan knew very well that if there was any news about Jun Shiling that could be disyed to the public, this news must have been approved by Jun Shiling.

    Without his approval, they would not be released to the outside world even if they were buried to death.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t take it.¡±

    Oh, Xia Wanyuan understood. Someone else had taken it. Jun Shiling tacitly agreed for that someone had released the photo.

    Jun Shiling waited for a while, but there was no response from Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan and realized that she had already leaned back on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

    ¡°Do you me me?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, Jun Shiling inexplicably panicked. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to remove the news now.¡±

    ¡°Why should I me you? So be it if it¡¯s exposed, but I don¡¯t want to publicize it within three months.¡± As if sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s instantly disappointed mood, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes. ¡°Three monthster, I have a gift for you. I¡¯ve already started preparing.¡±

    ¡°Huh? What gift?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words immediately aroused Jun Shiling¡¯s curiosity.?<i>I stayed with her every day. Why didn¡¯t I know that Xia Wanyuan had prepared a gift for me? Three monthster??</i>

    ¡°You¡¯ll know when the timees.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled slyly. ¡°Promise me not to deliberately guess what it is.¡± She knew that with Jun Shiling¡¯s intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess if he purposely guessed.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan take the phone back and nce at Jun Shiling. ¡°Give me your hand.¡±

    Jun Shiling handed her his hand. Xia Wanyuan interlocked her fingers with his and took a photo.

    Hence, when there was a huge discussion on Weibo about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship, Xia Wanyuan suddenly posted a post.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°Thank you for your concern. I¡¯ll introduce him to you in the future.¡±

    Below the post was a photo of two hands sped together. The man¡¯s hand was well-defined, and the woman¡¯s hand was as white as jade.

    [!!! The hatred of stealing my wife!!! We can¡¯t live under the same sky!]

    [The goddess has been taken away by someone else!! My heart hurts!! I don¡¯t even want to watch Barcelona win today.]

    [I¡¯m at the inte cafe now. Everyone in the inte cafe is AFK tomemorate our dead love.]

    [ I¡¯m at the field. F*ck thepetition. Our captain is already crying. I don¡¯t want to y anymore. Our team is preparing to go to the bar and get drunk tonight. Men don¡¯t cry easily, but it just that it¡¯s not time to be sad. ]

    Theizens originally wanted to express their shock in thements, but they did not expect to be blinded by this army of male fans the moment they entered thements.

    Male fans usually spoke less and rarely appeared online.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan revealed that she had a rtionship that everyone realized that Xia Wanyuan had such a huge army of male fans.

    Looking at the cryingments, everyone could not help butugh.

    [Hahahahahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. Male fans are really pitiful.]

    [ So Xia Wanyuan has so many male fans. Hahahahaha, my condolences. ]

    [How tragic. I can¡¯t help butugh.]

    On that day, the sales of white wine and beer in the country increased by a level.

    Bar owner:<i>?Amitabha I¡¯m grateful for Xia Wanyuan.?</i>

    What amused the market inspectors the most was that once Xia Wanyuan posted on Weibo, not only were the young men upset, but the middle-aged men were also sad that their goddess had been snatched away.

    The data that day showed that the middle-aged woman¡¯s shopping volume had increased by 20%pared to the previous day.

    A reporter specially went to ask the reason.

    The response she received was: ¡°The daughter-inw I showed my son for so long is gone. I¡¯m unhappy. When a woman is unhappy, she has to buy something to be happy.¡±

    Then, before everyone could finish eating melon from the news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship, Xia Wanyuan threw another mouthful of dog food at them that night.

 Chapter 911 - Heartbroken

    <h4>Chapter 911: Heartbroken</h4>

    After Xia Wanyuan posted on Weibo, Chen Yun, who had been anxiously looking for a public rtions team for her, calmed down. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since you posted your daily photos on Weibo. If you have time, just post one.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan agreed and stroked the kitten on herp. It was furry and felt good. ¡°Jun Shiling, I¡¯m cold.¡±

    Jun Shiling quickly walked over with a nket and touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. However, he realized that the temperature was not low. A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Here¡¯s the nket.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan refused.

    Jun Shiling smiled as he expected it. ¡°Then what do you want?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and reached out to him.

    The weather was getting colder. The weather forecast said that there would be first snow tonight in Beijing. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body in the modern world was actually very healthy, but her habit of being cold in her previous life still subconsciously made her feel very cold.

    Jun Shiling trained all year round, so his body was always warm like a ball of fire. Just leaning on him, Xia Wanyuan felt very warm.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was standing still, Xia Wanyuan urged, ¡°Hurry up.¡±

    Jun Shiling finally sat down with a smile. ¡°You either treat me like a pillow or a heater.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong. ¡°Is it going to snow tonight?¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, white cotton suddenly fell outside the French window.

    Without needing Xia Wanyuan to say anything, Jun Shiling brought her to sit closer to the window.

    At first, the snow was like salt, but gradually, it turned into snowkes that fell.

    While Xia Wanyuan was eating the roasted sweet potatoes, a thinyer of snow had already umted outside.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and raised the roasted sweet potato to take a photo.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°First snow, it¡¯s suitable to eat roasted sweet potatoes with the person you love.¡±

    [????? Goddess, can you consider our hearts that have been broken into pieces?]

    [ Hahahahahaha!!! Yuan Yuan likes to show off her love and is cute! So the cold and aloof Yuan Yuan will show off her love after falling in love. Yuan Yuan, Mommy loves you! ]

    [ I¡¯m so jealous. The person I love, sob, sob, sob, sob. I really want to know what kind of man is worthy of our Yuan Yuan. Who is Brother-inw? ]

    Not only were theizens not in the mood to look at the snow, but Xia Wanyuan herself could not look at the snow anymore. After all, there was an overly excited man beside her.

    On the other side of Beijing, Xuan Sheng, who had just established World Glory Corporation, was working overtime for a new project. Xiu Yi¡¯s sess had made Xuan Sheng rich. He had established ¡°World Glory Corporation¡± opposite Glory World Corporation.

    The huge office was empty. Xuan Sheng did not like to turn on the heater, so the office was no different from outside.

    The phone suddenly rang. Seeing the call, Xuan Sheng frowned and rejected the call.

    The other party seemed to know that Xuan Sheng would not answer the call. The next second, a message came.

    Xuan Sheng thought that Xuan Li had sent another mocking message and was about to delete it when he was stunned.

    It was a photo, a screenshot of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post.

    Xuan Sheng opened Weibo and flipped to the two posts Xia Wanyuan had posted today. He looked at them quietly for a long time before turning off his phone.

    Yan Ci, who had been lying in ambush in his and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s CP group recently, was also sad.

    The poprity of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± made Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan, the on-screen couple, gain arge number of fans. Yan Ci opened an alternate ount and mixed in with the fans¡¯ group chat, feeding on his own couple every day.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship was exposed, Yan Ci thought that these groups were about to disband. Who would have thought that because they did not announce the man¡¯s face, so the fans would automatically bring Yan Ci¡¯s face in?

    ¡°It must be Yan Ci!! Because she wanted to protect Yan Ci, she chose not to publicize it. We got it!¡±

    Looking at the fans¡¯ments, Yan Ci silently covered his face.

    <i>I wanted to, but unfortunately, that was not the case.</i>

    The ¡°Moon as Frost¡± television drama was almost halfway through its broadcast. Qin Manyue¡¯s training period had ended, and she had once again returned to this familiar Shanghai.

 Chapter 912 - Amazing Acting Skills

    <h4>Chapter 912: Amazing Acting Skills</h4>

    After the Qin family was destroyed, Chu Pingjiang disappeared in a bombing. The once noblest red rose on the beach followed arge group of escapees and experienced countless hardships.

    She did not know where she was going. After a few months, Qin Manyue, a woman from Jiangnan who grew up by the Huangpu River, arrived at the northern mountains that she had never thought of in her life.

    The young, beautiful, and even vain and fragile Qin Manyue had obtained the most precious faith in her life in this poor and backward ce.

    The long whistle interrupted Qin Manyue¡¯s thoughts. After two years, Shanghai still looked prosperous. There was an endless stream of peopleing and going at the docks. The familiar soft words made one cry.

    Qin Manyue picked up the mirror and tidied up her exquisite makeup before slowly getting off the boat with a small umbre.

    The mes of war raged, but the news of Qin Manyue¡¯s return still caused a hugemotion in Shanghai.

    The Qin family had beenpletely destroyed. Now that such an orphan girl had returned, many people had designs on Qin Manyue.

    Just like that, Qin Manyue circled around the various factions.

    She was either pure, charming, or shy and pure.

    Beauty was sometimes the best weapon to destroy a man.

    Just like that, Qin Manyue used her slender hands to stir up the clouds on the beach.

    [She acted well. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes are really too lively. I think her eyes can speak.]

    [I¡¯ve rarely watched domestic television dramas. The main reason is that I feel that domestic television dramas¡¯ actors¡¯ acting skills are more exaggerated, and the plot is not logical enough. However, ¡°Moon as Frost¡± has really changed my opinion. This prop set is very consistent with historical characteristics. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills have also supported the entire television drama.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan really looks like whatever she acts. If I were those big shots, I wouldn¡¯t be able to resist such a lively and fragrant beauty. If Xia Wanyuan was born in troubled times, I feel like she¡¯ll be just like her in the television drama. She can cause chaos in the world. ]

    Looking at the various praises on the screen, Xia Wanyuan was relieved.

    She did not know much about the modern acting industry, so she was worried that others would not like the show she was acting in. Now that she saw so many positivements, it represented the market¡¯s approval of her. Xia Wanyuan was still very happy.

    ¡°Do you like filming?¡± Seeing the smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s not bad. But if we do something, shouldn¡¯t we put our best foot forward? Since I¡¯m filming a drama, I have to act to satisfy everyone.¡± This was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s usual style in doing things.

    As long as she did it, she would try her best to be perfect.

    ¡°Take a look at the new script tomorrow,¡± Jun Shiling said and was about to get up to get his phone when Lin Jing had already gotten someone to edit the first version of the script and sent it over.

    ¡°It¡¯s cold. Don¡¯t move.¡± Xia Wanyuan held onto Jun Shiling and did not let go. His body was too warm, and Xia Wanyuan did not want Jun Shiling to leave at all. She kept feeling that once Jun Shiling left, her body would turn cold.

    ¡°Why are you so clingy?¡± Jun Shiling sat back down helplessly. Although he said that, his face was filled with smiles. Since Xia Wanyuan did not let him leave, he would apany her to continue watching television dramas.

    Before today¡¯s drama ended, some marketing ounts began topare Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills with the female lead of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    The female lead of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± was a movie queen who had already won countless awards. The marketing ounts ced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s crying scene together with the movie queen¡¯s, then mocked Xia Wanyuan for acting ¡°too hard¡±.

    Faced with the audience¡¯s doubts, the marketing ount directly said, ¡°You don¡¯t know the standards of professional evaluation.¡±

 Chapter 913 - Bite You Where?

    <h4>Chapter 913: Bite You Where?</h4>

    ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± and ¡°Moon As Frost¡± were released at the same time. Before the screening, people in the industry generally believed that ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± would be the biggest drama this year.

    After all, in terms of theme, the Moon Pce was a fairy-martial artist theme that had been very popr in recent years. The actors and actresses were either Best Actors, Best Actresses, or trendsetters. It could be described as a super luxurious array.

    However, now that more than half of the two television dramas had been broadcasted, the market feedback was very obvious. Even though there was such a powerful camp for ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±, be it the cable television viewership ratings or the online viewership ratings, ¡°Moon As Frost¡± left them behind.

    ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had a high score of 9.7 on a certain film and television software, two points higher than ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±. Its reputation and poprity soared, and ¡°Moon As Frost¡± frequently broke its own record and became the biggest dark horse this year.

    As a fairy-martial artist drama, ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± had a huge investment in special effects. In addition to the sky-high remuneration of various top actors, the cost was huge.

    After calctions, ording to the current situation, not only would ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± not be profitable, but it would also suffer a huge loss of nearly 200 million. This was something that the investors could not ept.

    Hence, the investors gave the operations department a death order that the situation had to be reversed.

    After all sorts of research, if the operations department wanted to raise the poprity of the television drama in a short period of time, they could only divert it from ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, and the breakthrough in how to divert it was on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had her own poprity, and what did not match her poprity was her poor film resources and number of awards.

    Even if the audience felt that Xia Wanyuan had acted well, she had yet to win a significant award. Any trophy in the hands of any main lead of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± could crush Xia Wanyuan.

    Hence, there was a widespread marketing of this ¡°actingparison¡±.

    The main lead of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±, Cheng Yan, was a Best Actress who had won a Fei Tian Award. In the various videos taken by the marketing ounts, Cheng Yan and Xia Wanyuan cried andughed together.

    ¡°The Movie Queen¡¯s tears want to fall but they can¡¯t. Look at Xia Wanyuan again. She¡¯s crying like she¡¯s made of tears. Isn¡¯t she using too much strength?¡±

    Therge number of marketing ounts caused the fans to feel disgusted.

    [Hehe, Cheng Yan cried because she felt lonely. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s entire family died in the war. How can this bepared?]

    [So if the family of the marketing ount dies, the marketing ount won¡¯t cry, right? After all, they will use too much strength.]

    [I¡¯ve never seen these two television dramas before. Just from the clips, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s one makes me feel even sadder.]

    [Hehe, your idol isn¡¯t a Movie Queen, so of course you don¡¯t have much appreciation. You brag about her acting skills every day, but she doesn¡¯t even get an award.]

    Xia Wanyuan had also seen all sorts ofments on the Inte. In her opinion, every time she acted out a character, she would put herself in the television drama. The audience had a bnce in their hearts, and it was not something that could be shaken by a few words from the marketing ounts.

    ¡°Others don¡¯t act as well as you.¡± Jun Shiling saw thements on Weibo and could not help butfort Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯ve seen other women act?¡± Xia Wanyuan deviated from the main point.

    ¡°¡­¡± Recently, Jun Shiling had been feeling that Xia Wanyuan was being unreasonable too many times. ¡°Stop fooling around.¡±

    ¡°I just want to.¡± Xia Wanyuan supported her head with her hand. She was being unreasonable, but she was smiling.

    ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡± Jun Shiling looked helpless.

    ¡°There¡¯s only so little snow. I thought there would be a lot of snow.¡± Looking at the gray sky outside, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with regret. The snow had disappeared after floating for a while.

    ¡°It will snow heavily tomorrow. Now, go to sleep,¡± Jun Shiling said and turned off the television.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t the weather forecast say that it would be sunny tomorrow? Why would it snow?¡±

    ¡°I said it will, so it will. Now, go and sleep.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and tucked her in.

    ¡°You¡¯re so fierce now.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt wronged.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was amused by her pitiful tone. ¡°Who asked you to be unreasonable?¡±

    ¡°Not only did you start to scold me, but you also find me unreasonable.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone became even more pitiful.

    Under the nket, Jun Shiling¡¯s hand was ced somewhere, causing Xia Wanyuan to exim before she could finish speaking.

    ¡°Since you¡¯re so energetic, let¡¯s do something to tire you out.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s hand moved up more and more, making Xia Wanyuan smile.

    ]¡±Beast.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and retreated, but Jun Shiling held her tightly in his arms.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lively appearance, Jun Shiling sighed in satisfaction.

    It was not easy to raise her to this state.

    After breakfast the next day, Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window. ¡°Jun Shiling, you lied to me. Where did the snowe from?¡±

    ¡°If I really lie to you, what will you do to me?¡± Jun Shiling handed the warm milk to Xia Wanyuan and wiped the crumbs from the corners of her lips.

    ¡°Bite you.¡± This was Xiao Bao¡¯s catchphrase.

    Jun Shiling smiled and waved for the servant to retreat. Then, he leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Where are you biting?¡±

    Sensing the meaningful smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan blushed and red at him.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was easily shy, Jun Shiling did not continue. He took the coat from the side and draped it over her. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to see the snow.¡±

    Following Jun Shiling to the backyard of the manor, Xia Wanyuan realized that the entire backyard was already covered in silver. Snow floated in the sky like goose feathers, and the colorful roses had a different beauty in the snow.

    She stepped on the snow and left a deep mark.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling in. Snowkes gradually floated on her shoulders. The ginkgo tree, whose leaves had fallen, was wrapped in crystal.

    ¡°Why is it only snowing here?¡± The antique Xia Wanyuan, who did not know what artificial snowfall was, was puzzled.

    ¡°I know magic.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and brushed the snow off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Does it look good?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°So beautiful!¡±

    In her previous life, she had only seen such heavy snow on the day she passed away. However, at that time, she had already been sick in bed for a long time. Even if she liked it, she could only look at it through the window.

    Now, she could personally pick up the sparkling snow. Seeing the excitement in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Jun Shiling smiled.

    ording to his thoughts, he wanted to snow the entire capital overnight, but the country did not allow it.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had updated one or two posts in the past few months, updated the third post within two days.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°So you can see such heavy snow at home.¡±

    The fans who were hit in the face by the dog food: ???

    All the male fans:<i>?Tears have already filled the Pacific Ocean. The hatred of snatching my wife is irreconcble.?</i>

 Chapter 914 - Award Ceremony

    <h4>Chapter 914: Award Ceremony</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo had several photos attached. A big tree wrapped in silver, footprints in the deep snow, and fresh roses in the snow.

    However, the most eye-catching thing was the back of a man wearing a coat in the snow.

    [Goddess, you¡¯ve changed. You weren¡¯t like this in the past. What kind of bewitching soup did that man give you?!]

    [Let me ask you silently. Did Wanyuan go to Dongbei?]

    Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan replied, ¡°No, in Beijing.¡±

    The fans typed out rows of question marks at the back.

    [Stop asking questions. Don¡¯t you know that there¡¯s something called artificial snowfall?]

    [Poverty has limited my imagination. What kind of godly love is this? There are so many roses in the snow. Oh my god, Brother-inw is too good at love.]

    [No wonder the usually low-key Xia Wanyuan has begun to show off her love. Who can resist such a man? I¡¯m already tired of saying the word envious.]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post should be the thing that made Jun Shiling the happiest. From the moment he saw it, he had been holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to ss. Let go of me.¡± Xia Wanyuan struggled helplessly, but she could not break free.

    ¡°Let me ask you a question.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Why do you suddenly like to show off your love?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you want others to know that I¡¯m taken, so you wanted me to make it public?¡± Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling very well.

    Having his thoughts pointed out, Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Continue, work harder. Go to work. The weather is cold. I¡¯ll pick you up from work tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan got out of the car.

    It was already winter. The wind was cold on his face, and his breath was white.

    Xia Wanyuan walked quickly to the school building, but she saw a tall figure wearing a scarf downstairs.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± When Xia Wanyuan approached, Wei Zimu¡¯s tall figure turned around and he pulled down his scarf, revealing his picturesque eyes.

    ¡°Wei Zimu?¡± Feeling the familiar warmth, Xia Wanyuan knew that the real Wei Zimu had returned.

    ¡°Mm, the weather is cold. This is for you,¡± Wei Zimu said as he handed a cup of hot drink to Xia Wanyuan, who reached out to take it.

    ¡°When did you get back?¡±

    ¡°More than half a month ago.¡± Knowing that Xia Wanyuan could distinguish him from Yu Qian, Wei Zimu did not intend to hide anything from her. ¡°Can I listen to your ss?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, and a gentle smile appeared on Wei Zimu¡¯s face.

    The two of them walked to the ssroom door together. Wei Zimu greeted Xia Wanyuan and sat in the back row of the ssroom.

    In ss, hidden gazes keptnding on Wei Zimu.

    Before Wei Zimu knew what had happened, his photos had already spread online.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan and her boyfriend came to ss today. Her boyfriend has been listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture in the ssroom. He¡¯s too handsome. Let me show you a photo. He¡¯s a gentleman. Gentle as jade is used to describe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend, right?¡±

    [ Hiss, this appearance, I can do it. Indeed, the one who can win the heart of a beauty must be handsome. ]

    [Hehe, he¡¯s so sissy. How can he be worthy of a goddess? The two of them definitely won¡¯tst long.]

    [ Male fans in front, don¡¯t be jealous. ept the truth. This is the type of male god that we women will like. ]

    The topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s face¡± quickly upied the trending topic. Before Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss ended, the photo of Wei Zimu and Xia Wanyuan walking together had already spread throughout the Inte.

    When Lin Jing received the news, Jun Shiling was holding an important international meeting in the meeting room. Usually, other than Xia Wanyuan, no one dared to go in and disturb him.

    ncing at the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend exposed¡± on his phone, Lin Jing adjusted his sses. He could already foresee a bloodbath.

    The bell rang after ss. Before Xia Wanyuan could pick up her phone to take a look, Director Li Heng called.

    ¡°Award ceremony?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.?<i>Weren¡¯t ceremonies usually informed in advance? Why was there only news now?</i>

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on either. I just received the news and hurriedly told you. Fortunately, there¡¯s still half a day to prepare. Wanyuan, prepare yourself. I¡¯ll send you an address.¡± Director Li Heng was also a little confused.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    Since she was going to attend the ceremony, she had to style herself. Xia Wanyuan did not call Mu Feng. Instead, she left the ssroom and walked to the teaching building next door.

    After waiting for about a minute, Wei Jin walked out of the door with Mu Feng following behind her. It was such a cold day and Mu Feng was still wearing a thin windbreaker.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Wei Jin walked over. ¡°Cousin.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m attending a ceremony tonight. I need to borrow someone from you.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Wei Jin blushed. ¡°Cousin, you must be joking. Since you¡¯re busy, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    As he watched Wei Jin leave, Mu Feng could not help but sneeze. ¡°I¡¯m freezing to death.¡±

    ¡°Then why are you wearing so little?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Mu Feng¡¯s exposed ankle. It was a good-looking but extremely thin windbreaker. She was clearly wearing a lot, but she felt cold mentally.

    ¡°Achoo, you don¡¯t understand. If I want to be gentlemanly, I can¡¯t ask for warmth. For the sake of looking good, Achoo, this is nothing.¡± Before Mu Feng could finish speaking, he was really freezing. ¡°Boss, let¡¯s go quickly. Let¡¯s talk in the car. If we don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯ll freeze to death.¡±

    Amused, Xia Wanyuan brought him to the venue of the award ceremony. ¡°There¡¯s an award ceremony tonight. I need your help to style me.¡±

    ¡°No problem, Achoo.¡± Mu Feng shrank in his seat. ¡°Where is the ceremony?¡±

    ¡°Zhongtian Auditorium.¡± This was the address given by Li Heng.

    ¡°Zhongtian?¡± Hearing this address, Mu Feng was stunned for a moment. ¡°Your television drama can attend this ceremony??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know much about the various ceremonies in the entertainment industry, but Mu Feng knew very well.

    Those who could hold the award ceremony in the Zhongtian Auditorium were all heavyweight judges in the industry. Those who could attend such a ceremony and received an award could naturally brag about their works for the rest of their lives.

 Chapter 915 - The Princess Was Bullied

    <h4>Chapter 915: The Princess Was Bullied</h4>

    Hearing Mu Feng¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan did not have any other thoughts. After all, she did not know much about the entertainment industry¡¯s ceremonies. Since Director Li Heng wanted her to go, she would go.

    Xia Wanyuan drove the car to Xiu Yi. Participating in the award ceremony was not as simple as putting on makeup and changing clothes.

    In order to appear more perfect on camera, every detail from Mu Feng helped Xia Wanyuan to the extreme.

    After four hours, Xia Wanyuan finally finished her styling.

    The day was short in winter. After Xia Wanyuan finished her styling, the sky outside was already dark.

    Chen Yun knew that the award ceremony this time was extremely important, so he specially drove over early to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    The entrance of the Zhongtian building was already filled with the sound of traffic. All kinds of lights shed on both sides of the road. The winter night was extremely cold, but the atmosphere was very warm.

    In front of the red carpet filled with flowers, there were countless media reporters. Today, the Zhongtian Auditorium would hold the ¡°Silver Rooster Award¡± award ceremony. This was a grand event that happened once every three years. Those who could participate in this ceremony were all works with high reputation and poprity in the industry.

    A live broadcast channel opened the ceremony. As the famous actors gradually entered, thements began to increase.

    [ Ahhh, is that Teacher Huang Gang? Teacher Huang has retired for many years. I didn¡¯t expect to see him here again. ]

    [ I¡¯m here!! Can I see Xia Wanyuan today? I heard that Xia Wanyuan will be here too. ]

    [ What are you thinking? This ceremony will have Xia Wanyuan? Are you kidding? Do you know the weight of the Silver Rooster Award? The most amazing thing Xia Wanyuan has ever won till now is the Best Neer Award. Is she worthy of the Silver Rooster Award? ]

    Most of the audience felt that although the words were unpleasant, the truth was that Xia Wanyuan was not qualified to participate in this award ceremony.

    However, in the next second, some media reporters captured Chen Yun getting out of the car.

    <i>With Chen Yun¡¯s appearance, didn¡¯t that mean that Xia Wanyuan would appear?!</i>

    Everyone hurriedly cut to the camera in front of the red carpet to take a look. As expected, after Chen Yun got out of the car, he walked straight to the back and opened the car door.

    A well-dressed Xia Wanyuan appeared in front of everyone in a coat.

    Xia Wanyuan was extremely afraid of the cold, but she was very professional.

    The red carpet this time was outside the Zhongtian building. In the near-zero-degree weather at night, the surrounding people were wearing down jackets and coats, but Xia Wanyuan was wearing a tube dress, her smooth shoulders exposed to the air.

    Even though she had some thermal patches on her body, on this cold winter night that could freeze, Xia Wanyuan felt a chill in her bones when a gust of wind blew.

    Fortunately, the red carpet was only a hundred meters long. Xia Wanyuan walked to Director Li Heng¡¯s side and prepared to walk onto the red carpet with the production team.

    However, before they could approach, the staff stopped them.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you¡¯re not on the invitation list. Did you go to the wrong ce?¡±

    It was also Director Li Heng¡¯s first time attending such a high-level ceremony. He was a little stunned and took out the invitation he had received. ¡°This is the invitation I received at the Zhongtian Building yesterday.¡±

    The staff took the invitation and looked at it before handing it over. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, your invitation is fake.¡±

    Laughter erupted around them.

    Director Li Heng frowned. <i>How was that possible? I had clearly received the invitation letter in the building yesterday.</i>

    ¡°Take a look at our name list. Your production team is not in it,¡± the staff said as he handed over the guest list in his hand. There was indeed no production team called the ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    At that moment, the entire production team of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± happened to pass by. The main leads looked disdainfully at Li Heng and the rest who had been stopped. ¡°Tsk tsk, there¡¯s even someone who forged an invitation.¡±

    Seeing this scene, Xia Wanyuan nced at Chen Yun. Chen Yun hurriedly went to the car to get her cashmere coat. Xia Wanyuan shrank into the coat and finally felt warm.

    ¡°Director, let¡¯s go back. I don¡¯t think we can enter today.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that this was a trap, a trap that would embarrass the crew of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

 Chapter 916 - Iâ€™m Not Leaving. I Want Justice

    <h4>Chapter 916: I¡¯m Not Leaving. I Want Justice</h4>

    Not only were there several cameras here, but there were also arge number of media reporters and fans around. At this moment, all the attention was focused on Xia Wanyuan and the rest.

    The audience in thements were also stunned.

    [Could it be that the production team of ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ wants to rely on this fake invitation to muddle through and then create a memo to be invited to the award ceremony by the Silver Rooster Award? This publicity method is a little too low-ss.]

    [If I were Xia Wanyuan, I would probably want to burrow underground at this moment. How embarrassing.]

    It was no wonder that the audience would have such thoughts. After all, in the entertainment industry, freeloading on the red carpet had happened too many times.

    There were some heavy awards ceremonies internationally. Many actors in China were not qualified to be nominated, but the studio would always send a notice in advance ¡°a certain celebrity was invited to the XX ceremony¡±.

    In the eyes of unknown passersby, the fact that a celebrity could attend such a ceremony meant that the celebrity¡¯s reputation had increased.

    When the ceremony began, celebrities would often find a reason to ¡°faint¡± and ¡°fall sick¡±. The organizers of the ceremony would not pursue such news normally.

    This way, he could increase his reputation without any effort.

    Simr incidents had happened too many times. In this situation, everyone easily thought that the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± wanted to hype it up.

    The red carpet scene was also in a stalemate for a while. There were already waves of mockery around. The mocking gazes were all thrown at the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    Before Director Li Heng filmed ¡°Moon as Frost¡±, he was just a small director who was obsessed with filming. He had never attended such a high-level ceremony or encountered such a situation.

    Seeing the crew members shivering in the cold wind, Director Li Heng was angry and heartbroken. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. Let¡¯s go back first. It¡¯s too cold here.¡±

    Hence, when the other production teams walked into the building proudly, the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± could only leave in the opposite direction dejectedly.

    Along the way, there were many mocking gazes. The cameras kept shing, as they wished they could record the embarrassment of the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve watched so many ceremonies, but this is the first time I¡¯ve met a production team who faked an invitation. They must be crazy about winning an award.¡±

    ¡°How pitiful, but I want tough. People who freeload on the red carpet deserve to be chased out. Fortunately, the staff can tell that the invitation is fake. Otherwise, it would be a loss to let them sneak in.¡±

    Listening to the various mocking voices beside him, the other actors in the production team blushed even in the cold.

    Without Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci, ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was a low-budget production. The actors hired were all people with rtively low sries but rtively solid acting skills.

    Everyone had always been wandering at the edge of the entertainment industry and had no fate with their morous lives. When they learned that they could follow Director Li Heng to participate in the Silver Rooster Award, many people changed into new clothes from head to toe.

    Everyone had been busy from morning to night, filled with joy. In the end, they did not expect to be chased out under the cold.

    Some of the younger girls in the production team were so aggrieved that their eyes were red. The people by the roadside were speaking more and more harshly. Xia Wanyuan turned to look. Many people in the production team had tears of humiliation in their eyes.

    ¡°Director, did you really receive the invitation in the Zhongtian building yesterday?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Li Heng.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. The person sent by the production team of ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ was standing in front of me. At that time, I even queued up for a while. I remember that it was a young man in a suit who gave me the tickets. Sigh, I¡¯m afraid I was tricked.¡± Director Li Heng also reacted at this moment. ¡°I¡¯m just sorry.¡±

    ¡°Since it¡¯s the organizer¡¯s fault, we won¡¯t leave,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she adjusted her coat and turned to walk towards the red carpet media area.

    The rest of the production team were stunned when they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, then followed her. After interacting with her for so long, everyone had an inexplicable trust in her.

    The media, who were about to call it a day, hurriedly set up their cameras again when they saw Xia Wanyuan return.

    In the live-stream, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a coat and walking forward in high heels. Her cold face had a might that made people not dare to look straight at her.

    [The Queen is angry. I want to kneel down in front of her.]

    [Tsk tsk, the production team faked the invitation. What is Xia Wanyuan doing?]

    In the building, the ceremony was about to begin. The red carpet had been walked, and the staff began to wrap up and prepare to leave.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped the staff. ¡°Give me our invitation.¡±

    The staff looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully. ¡°Miss, your invitation is fake. Why must you do this?¡±

    ¡°Give it to me.¡± Xia Wanyuan extended her hand. As she spoke, the heat condensed into a ball of white fog in front of her.

    The staff wanted to say no, but when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes, he subconsciously took out the invitation from his pocket.

    Xia Wanyuan took the invitation and nced at it. ¡°Director Li Heng received the invitation from you, together with the production team of ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯. Why are their invitations real and ours fake?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, you must be joking. We did send an invitation yesterday, but the production team of ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ is not on the list.¡± The staff had a standard smile on his face, but this smile looked extremely ironic.

    ¡°Check the surveince cameras.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the staff. ¡°If it¡¯s our production team¡¯s fault, we apologize. If it¡¯s your staff¡¯s mistake, then please exin and apologize to the outside world.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we don¡¯t have the authority to get the surveince video. Miss Xia, please don¡¯t make things difficult for us. I¡¯m sorry, we still have something to do. We¡¯ll leave first.¡± The staff could not be bothered to deal with Xia Wanyuan and the rest anymore. He turned to leave.

    Xia Wanyuan took out her phone and checked.?<i>This Zhongtian Building was actually under the Jun Corporation.?</i>Xia Wanyuan smiled.?<i>Wasn¡¯t this a coincidence??</i>

    ¡°Who said I don¡¯t have the authority?¡± Xia Wanyuan sent Lin Jing a message.

    The others did not know why Xia Wanyuan was so confident. The staff pursed his lips. The surveince videos in the Zhongtian building were all kept by the building¡¯s management. ¡°Miss Xia, the weather is so cold. Don¡¯t make things difficult for us. Only the management of the building has the right to watch the surveince videos.¡±

    Before the staff could finish speaking, several people in suits walked out of the building.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. Do you have any questions?¡±

    The staff was much more familiar with these people than Xia Wanyuan. He immediately went up to them in surprise. ¡°CEO Zhou?!!¡±

 Chapter 917 - Public Execution Face-Slapping

    <h4>Chapter 917: Public Execution Face-pping</h4>

    The person called CEO Zhoupletely ignored the staff. He quickly rushed to Xia Wanyuan with his subordinates. ¡°Miss Xia, if you have any questions, tell me.¡±

    He had been managing the Zhongtian Building for so long, but this was the first time he had heard Special Assistant Lin Jing re up. How big of a matter was it to make Special Assistant Lin, who had never revealed any emotions, re up?! He was so frightened that he came out without even putting on his socks and shoes.

    CEO Zhou secretly nced at Xia Wanyuan.<i>?Tsk tsk, she¡¯s too beautiful. No wonder Special Assistant Lin is so angry. I wonder what rtionship Xia Wanyuan has with Special Assistant Lin.?</i>

    ¡°Director, when did youe to get the tickets yesterday?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Li Heng.

    Director Li Heng hurriedly recalled. ¡°It was between 3 p.m. and 3: 30 p.m. yesterday.¡± He remembered it very clearly because yesterday afternoon, the production team of ¡®Above the Moon Pce¡¯ had turned around and specially asked him the time.

    ¡°Please check the surveince cameras between 3 p.m. and 3: 30 p.m. yesterday.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at CEO Zhou.

    ¡°Hey, hey, okay. I¡¯ll get someone to check it immediately.¡± CEO Zhou waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately went to check the video.

    The number of viewers in the live-stream had unknowingly increased a lot, even exceeding the poprity of the red carpet just now. Everyone was stunned by this wave of reversal.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confident look, everyone could not help but look forward to the surveince video.?<i>Could it really be the organizer of the Silver Rooster Award causing trouble? Surely not??</i>

    ¡°Miss Xia, why don¡¯t you wait in our office? It¡¯s too cold here.¡± CEO Zhou looked at Xia Wanyuan carefully.

    Xia Wanyuan gathered her clothes. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll wait in the car.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan turned around and returned to the car. Chen Yun had already turned on the air conditioner.

    Outside the car, the media reporters watching themotion were cold, but they did not dare to leave, afraid that they would miss some hot topic. They could only squat outside and wait with Xia Wanyuan.

    The subordinate returned quickly. CEO Zhou hurriedly weed him. ¡°Did you get the video?¡±

    The subordinate¡¯s expression was a little ugly. ¡°CEO Zhou, the video clip from yesterday was damaged for some reason.¡±

    ¡°Ah?! This¡­¡± On such a cold day, a thinyer of sweat appeared on CEO Zhou¡¯s face. It was obvious that Xia Wanyuan had a deep rtionship with Special Assistant Lin. Now that the surveince cameras were damaged, how was he going to exin it to Xia Wanyuan?

    CEO Zhou braced himself and knocked on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car window. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯m really sorr-¡±

    Before CEO Zhou could finish speaking, the phone in his pocket rang. CEO Zhou took it out and saw that it was a video file sent by Lin Jing.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to look for it,¡± Xia Wanyuan said. ¡°Since this is the wrong invitation given by the organizer of the Silver Rooster Award, please help me inform the organizer.¡±

    CEO Zhou had long learned to observe people¡¯s expressions when he was in this position. Now that he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation, he knew that she had been wronged, so he called his subordinate over to whisper a few words.

    Hence, three minutester, all the LED screens in the Zhongtian building began to rey the scene of Director Li Heng taking the invitation from the organizer.

    In front of the red carpet, on the huge electronic screen of the Zhongtian building, all the details were disyed clearly. Everyone could see it clearly.

    Director Li Heng and the other crew members queued up and received their tickets from the organizers.

    The venue was in an uproar. No matter how stupid the audience was, they could tell that the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had been yed by the organizers.

    [ Are you crazy¡­ This is too much. You¡¯re ying with me like this. If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wide connections, wouldn¡¯t the production team be the scapegoat? ]

    Pat our Yuan Yuan¡¯s head. Look at how cold it is for Yuan Yuan. Is this the standard of the Silver Rooster Award? It¡¯s too infuriating. ]

    At this moment, the organizers had also received the news, but they were also stunned and did not know what was going on.

    The moment the person-in-charge left the building and saw the surveince videos, his heart almost skipped a beat. ¡°CEO Zhou, can you remove these videos first?¡± The person-in-charge could think of tomorrow¡¯s headlines as these videos reyed.

    However, CEO Zhou did not care what the others thought. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to Miss Xia.¡±

    The person-in-charge hurriedly brought people to apologize to the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. ¡°Quick!! Invite the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± in first!¡±

    Faced with the special invitation of the organizer, if it were any other time, Director Li Heng would definitely be ttered and agree. But now, he only looked at Xia Wanyuan with a look that said he would do whatever Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°It¡¯s cold and everyone has worked hard. Let¡¯s go to the hot spring vi tonight and take a hot bath. We can also go to the Hundred vour Hall for a meal. I¡¯ll cover all the expenses.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, the production team cheered. ¡°Thank you, Sister Xia!!¡±

    As for the Silver Rooster Award, if it was an hour ago, everyone would have wanted to go in. However, at this moment, no one had the mood to attend the award ceremony.

    Seeing that all the members of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had driven out of the venue, the only person who wasining was the organizer of the Silver Chicken Award. Now that the matter had reached this point, it was not easy to end it.

    The audience in thements were also dumbfounded.?<i>What was the organizer of this Silver Chicken Award doing this for? Wasn¡¯t it too much to y with the production team like this??</i>

    [ It¡¯s understandable that Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t give the organizer face. If not for her insisting on pulling out the surveince video, the next day, the entire Inte would definitely be filled with news of Xia Wanyuan freeloading on the red carpet. ]

    [Isn¡¯t the Silver Chicken Award embarrassing? They actually did such a thing. Is the small production team not human? If not for Xia Wanyuan, the small production team would have to swallow this anger.]

    After fooling around for the entire night, two hours had passed. Xia Wanyuan looked at her phone. Jun Shiling had not sent a message, so he must be in a meeting.

    Chen Yun was about to send Xia Wanyuan back to the manor when she tightened her coat. ¡°Just send me to Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun immediately changed directions.

    After Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting, he immediately called Xia Wanyuan.

    On the phone, Xia Wanyuan sniffed. Her voice was soft and a little aggrieved. ¡°Jun Shiling, I¡¯m cold.¡±

 Chapter 918 - CEO Jun is Angry

    <h4>Chapter 918: CEO Jun is Angry</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was already afraid of the cold. After standing outside for so long in a bare-shouldered evening gown during the bone-chilling night in the north, Xia Wanyuan still felt her limbs turn cold, though she sat in the car for a while.

    Jun Shiling quickly went downstairs and took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. His thick eyebrows immediately frowned. ¡°Why are your hands so cold?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so cold.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Jun Shiling unbuttoned his suit jacket and wrapped Xia Wanyuan in his arms.

    Warmth continued to flow over. Xia Wanyuan buried her hand in it and rubbed it in satisfaction.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you attend the ceremony? Why is it like this?¡± Jun Shiling touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and felt the cold air.

    Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling what had just happened.

    ¡°Mm.¡± After hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s story, Jun Shiling did not say anything and replied calmly, ¡°Have you not eaten?¡±

    ¡°I ate a piece of bread.¡± The styling had to be done meticulously, even the nails and keratin. There was no time to eat at all. She only ate half a piece of bread to fill her stomach.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was touching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair paused.<i> Xia Wanyuan did not like bread. </i>

    When he returned to the manor, it was already veryte. Jun Shiling originally wanted to make a bowl of soup noodles for Xia Wanyuan himself, but Xia Wanyuan hugged him and did not let go. Jun Shiling could only let the servant make it.

    It was not untilte at night that the cold aura on Xia Wanyuan dissipated.

    However, when he woke up in the morning, Jun Shiling realized that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s temperature was exceptionally high. He asked the servant to take her temperature. Indeed, she had a fever.

    Xia Wanyuan felt very ufortable. Her head was heavy and her feet were weak. She closed her eyes and shouted, ¡°My head hurts.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached when he saw her like this. He fed her the medicine. ¡°Sleep for a while. I¡¯ll be beside you.¡±

    The medicine was hypnotic, and Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep. Jun Shiling covered her with the nket, then walked out of the bedroom and called Lin Jing.

    At this moment, on Weibo, everyone was discussing the actions of the organizers of the Silver Rooster Award, mixed with blessings for ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    [ ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± is amazing. It won two awards. As expected of a big production. It¡¯s not something a small television drama canpare to. ]

    [ The organizer of the Silver Rooster Award is indeed wrong, but Xia Wanyuan is too serious. When I went to work this morning, I even saw the surveince video being reyed in the Zhongtian Building. ]

    [So what if it proves that it¡¯s not a fake invitation? In any case, ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯ won¡¯t win any awards. It¡¯ll make both sides look bad. Why bother?]

    The organizers of the Silver Rooster Award invited arge number of keyboard warriors to fish in troubled waters.

    In the organizer¡¯s office, the managers were having a meeting.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is not giving us any face in this. Why isn¡¯t Zhongtian Tower putting down that video? What is the public rtions department doing?¡±

    ¡°An internal staff member was bribed by another production team. The matter has been resolved. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ve already released the keyboard warriors. It won¡¯t affect us much.¡±

    The organizers had held ceremonies for so many years and had encountered countless unexpected events. Although the impact this time was greater, the organizers were still prepared to deal with it ording to the past.

    ¡°Alright, please control the public opinion.¡±

    After everyone finished discussing, they were about to end the meeting when a staff pushed open the door and entered. ¡°CEO Liu, bad news. The Jun Corporation has withdrawn all their investments and announced that the Zhongtian Building will never work with us again.¡±

    The organizers thought that this was already shocking bad news, but what hit them the most was still yet toe.

 Chapter 919 - Total Bankruptcy; Karma

    <h4>Chapter 919: Total Bankruptcy; Karma</h4>

    The ¡°Silver Rooster Award¡± was organized by China¡¯s famous ¡°Video Magazine¡±. From the first edition until now, it had more than twenty years of history. After many years of precipitation, the ¡°Silver Rooster Award¡± became an award with weight in the industry.

    Every year, when the ¡°Silver Rooster Award¡± was held, it would attract a lot of poprity. Countless sponsorships and magazine exposure would make the organizers rich.

    This was also why they did not care about negative news. After all, they had arge number of investors. With money, they could hire fake reviewers to do public rtions marketing.

    However, the withdrawal of the Jun Corporation this time caused the entire profitable chain to stagnate.

    ¡°Speak properly. Why did the Jun Corporation withdraw its investment? Why isn¡¯t the Zhongtian Building working with us anymore?¡± The person in charge of the magazine panicked. The headquarters of ¡°Video Magazine¡± was located in the Zhongtian Building. If the Zhongtian Building did not cooperate with them, the entire magazine office would have to be moved. This would cost a huge price.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, CEO Liu. There was a sudden message from the Jun Corporation to terminate our cooperation. The Zhongtian Building has already sent a letter and ordered us to move out within three days.¡± The employee seemed to be in a hurry as he panted loudly. ¡°Other than that, the other partners have also withdrawn their investments. As of now, we have less than five partners left.¡±

    Seeing the person-in-charge¡¯s expression change instantly, the employee did not dare to say that these five partners were so small that they were almost negligible. They were meaningless to the organizers.

    ¡°Hurry up and contact the Jun Corporation!!¡± The managers who had been rxed just now panicked and hurriedly used all their strength to call their partners.

    Half an hourter.

    ¡°CEO Liu, the Zhongtian Building said that they will pay the penalty fee and request us to move out within three days.¡±

    ¡°CEO Liu, the Hongtian Corporation has dered that they will never have any contact with us again.¡±

    ¡°CEO Liu¡­¡±

    Everyone in the office was worried. One bad news after another hit the magazine¡¯s person-in-charge¡¯s heart like a huge rock. Hearing everyone say ¡°the other party expressed their withdrawal¡±, CEO Liu¡¯s legs went limp and he copsed in his chair.

    <i>How could this be??</i>?The person in charge could not believe it.?<i>What exactly happened??</i>

    He half-closed his eyes and recalled what had happened over the past few days. Everything had been normalst night. As he thought about it, a pair of cold eyes appeared in his mind.

    ¡°It¡¯s her!¡± The person in charge, who had been slumped in his chair, suddenly shouted, startling everyone. However, the person in charge did not have the mood to care about everyone¡¯s thoughts. He stood up and left, personally going to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s managementpany.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan woke up with a heavy head.

    Her body in the modern world was considered very healthy, but she had underestimated the temperature of the winter nights in the north. She had stood in the cold wind for too long, causing the cold to invade her body.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake? Come and drink the medicine.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan moved, Jun Shiling¡¯s arm wrapped around her.

    ¡°Bitter.¡± In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan, who had never frowned even when chewing bitter guts, was weak.

    ¡°I got someone to prepare honey. Drink a mouthful of medicine and I¡¯ll feed you honey.¡± Jun Shiling patiently handed the medicine over.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and swallowed the medicine. In the next second, the sweet honey filled her mouth.

    ¡°Ufortable.¡± After drinking the medicine, Xia Wanyuan frowned like a child, her cheeks slightly puffed up.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened, but his voice was very gentle. ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and snuggled under the nket again. Jun Shiling gently covered her with the nket and walked out of the bedroom. His tall figure was wrapped in a thick darkness.

    Less than a day after the Silver Rooster Award ended, everyone was still evaluating the fairness of the various awards.

    However, something big happened in the magazine industry.

    As one of the three major physical magazines in China, ¡°Video Magazine¡± suddenly dered bankruptcy.

    This news came too suddenly. How could a magazinepany that had done so much and held the ¡°Silver Rooster Award¡± that was the focal point of the entertainment industry the night before go bankrupt just like that?

    However, soon, the official Weibo ount of the magazine announced this news.

    The industry insiders were confused, and theizens were also confused.

    Faced with all kinds of media inquiries, the magazine official only said to the public that it was not doing well and did not say anything else.

    At this moment, the person in charge of the magazine finally understood that everything was in vain. He hated himself for being blinded by the luxurious lineup and huge sponsorship amount of the ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± production team and agreeing to the request.

    The reason why Director Li Heng had obtained a fake invitation, why the surveince cameras were broken that day, why so many media reports had coincidentallye when Moon as Frost¡¯s production team was walking the red carpet were all part of the public rtions strategy of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    As the television series progressed, ¡°Moon As Frost¡± suppressed the poprity of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±. The investors gave thest warning.

    In the end, the public rtions department came up with this idea.

    Everyone thought that the small production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± would not dare topete with an authoritative award like the ¡°Silver Rooster Award¡±.

    However, they ignored the surprise ¨C Xia Wanyuan.

    Not only was Xia Wanyuan serious, but she had also shattered all their ns.

    ¡°Video Magazine¡± had sacrificed itself, and the million yuan in public rtions fees for ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± waspletely gone.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was lying on the bed, did not know what had happened.

    Jun Shiling raised her like a ss doll every day and would read to her, but he did not allow her to use her phone. She epted no news from the outside world.

    An illness came like a mountain. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s illness took her almost a week to recover.

    After Shen Xiu¡¯s examination, it was finally announced that she had recovered. Xia Wanyuan sat by the window with a nket around her and looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting beside her. ¡°You¡¯ve lost a lot of weight.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up at her with a dark gaze. ¡°You still have the cheek to say that.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and extended her arm to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was very ugly, but he still stepped forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°If they know that you¡¯re the mistress of the Jun family, no one will dare to treat you like this.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve never given you a gift before. Just wait a little longer.¡± Xia Wanyuan curled up on Jun Shiling¡¯sp like a hibernatingmb, leaning against the warm stove.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly, but in the end, he did not say anything else.

    A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. It was faint, and the weakness she had when she was sick disappeared from her eyes. There was a clear light. ¡°I don¡¯t have a cold anymore. I won¡¯t infect you with my illness.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to look at her. His expression was normal and his voice was deep. ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°Do you want to kiss me?¡±

 Chapter 920 - Crazy Tears Ask the Movie Queen!!

    <h4>Chapter 920: Crazy Tears Ask the Movie Queen!!</h4>

    In the past, when she provoked Jun Shiling like this, Jun Shiling could instantly transform into a wolf. To Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surprise, however, it was useless today. After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling still did not react.

    ¡°Hey, why are you ignoring me?¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling finally looked at Xia Wanyuan again. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled until her eyes curved. ¡°Do you not love me anymore?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling did not speak.

    ¡°I think I have a fever again.¡± Xia Wanyuan covered her forehead and eximed softly.

    ¡°Stop pretending. I¡¯ve taken your temperature every hour.¡± Jun Shiling mercilessly exposed her.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped talking and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    Jun Shiling waited for a while but did not hear her speak. He reached out to raise her face and his heart tightened.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes were filled with tears, like flowers that had been wet by the wind and rain, making one pity her. ¡°You don¡¯t love me anymore.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Your acting skills are pretty good. You¡¯re even acting with me, right?¡± Jun Shiling smiled helplessly. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was pretending, but he still could not bear to be ruthless. He leaned forward and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Alright, be good.¡±

    Jun Shiling gently touched it twice and was about to retreat, but Xia Wanyuan took her hands out of the nket and wrapped them around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, taking the initiative to press it.

    The nket on Xia Wanyuan slid to the ground. Jun Shiling removed his jacket and wrapped Xia Wanyuan in his arms. His nose was filled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragrance. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart raced and he retreated not long after. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve just recovered. Go and rest.¡±

    He was afraid that he would not be able to control himselfter.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up, her lips moist. Her eyes were bright as she leaned over and bit Jun Shiling¡¯s lower lip.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling sighed in his heart. as she took the initiative again.<i>?This woman was really torturing me even more.</i>

    Even though she had already recovered, Jun Shiling still helped her push away everything.

    After resting at home for more than half a month, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was living the legendary retirement life. She was so free that she was about to grow mushrooms.

    After Shen Xiu repeatedly confirmed that she had recovered, Xia Wanyuan could finally return to her normal life.

    In this half a month that was she isted from the world, there were not many changes in the outside world. However, the ¡°Moon As Frost¡± television drama had entered the final stage.

    When it wasunched, ¡°Moon As Frost¡± upied a fifth of the market share of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡±.

    By the time the two dramas entered the end at the same time, the data of ¡°Above the Moon Pce¡± could no longerpare to ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    It was not an exaggeration to say that ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was the biggest dark horse of the year. Whether it was the viewership ratings of cable television, the number of views on the Inte, reputation, and discussion topics, they hadpletely left all the television dramas of the year behind.

    They left everyone in the dust and looked down on everyone.

    ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was originally predicted by industry insiders to be a failed investment by the Jun Corporation. In the end, this investment made the Jun Corporation rich, and the yield made industry insiders envious.

    At this moment, all kinds of analysis articles and industry papers appeared. Everyone tried to interpret the Jun Corporation¡¯s far-sighted investment standards and strategic vision from all aspects.

    Seeing all kinds of strange guesses, Chen Yun, who had hidden behind his achievements and fame, chuckled.?<i>Who would have thought that there was no investment strategy at all? He just wanted to dote on his wife and conveniently became an investment legend.</i>

    At the end of the year, various rankings began to be selected. What made industry insiders not know whether tough or cry was that as long as there was a ranking with Xia Wanyuan, the others basically had nopetitiveness.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely posted on Weibo to manage her poprity. Other than television dramas, she had not appeared for more than a month. However, her fanbase was like a prairie fire, forever maintaining a high-speed growth model, and their enthusiasm was extremely high.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fanbase was the strangest and most diverse in the entertainment industry. The fan base spanned the entertainment industry, zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting worlds. The two-dimensional world and three-dimensional world had perfectly integrated with her.

    With a huge number of fans and an explosive reputation,

    On the day of the ending of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, the top ten topics on Weibo were all rted to ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. The entire Inte was discussing this well-produced television drama.

    For a long time, the ¡°crude¡± image left in people¡¯s hearts by domestic dramas had been reversed by ¡°Moon As Frost¡±. In China, there was a ¡°national fever¡±.

    In just one month at the end of the year, there were nearly 20 more domestic dramas.

    [Ahhh, I can¡¯t bear for it to end. Why is time passing so quickly? I can¡¯t bear to leave Moon as Frost.]

    [ Boohoo, my Qin Manyue, my Chu Pingjiang, I feel terrible. One went to Shaanxi, and the other wants to leave the continent. Why can¡¯t the people who love each other be together? ]

    [Please don¡¯t be tragic. I heard that the ending of the television series is different from the novel. I¡¯m afraid something bad will happen.]

    On the side of the city path that had been destroyed by the mes of war in the past, the weeping willow began to spit out green. A breeze blew across the sparklingke, and a fish jumped out of theke.

    ¡°Take care.¡± The teacher who used to wear a long robe was now wearing a ck trench coat. Under the brim of the hat was a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes.

    Looking at Mr. Chu, who would blush when she touched him back then, Qin Manyue¡¯s eyes reddened. ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to ask you a question.¡±

    ¡°I feel guilty, but I don¡¯t regret it.¡± As if knowing what Qin Manyue wanted to say, Chu Pingjiang stopped talking.

    Chu Pingjiang, who was now a high-ranking general of the enemy camp, did not dare to look at Qin Manyue in the eye. Instead, his gazended on theke for a long time.

    He felt guilty that he had burned Qin Manyue¡¯s family to death in the fire to raise funds.

    He felt guilty for personally pushing the proudest Red Rose of Shanghai into the refugee army and letting her enter the mountains of Shaanxi, the heart of the enemy camp.

    He felt guilty for using Qin Manyue¡¯s kindness and true feelings to kill herrades and obtain confidential documents, causing her to fall into a desperate situation.

    However, he did not regret it. He had the faith in his bones. He had his own camp of loyalty. Between love and righteousness, he chose righteousness.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Qin Manyue, who had once stirred up the entire Shanghai beach in a cheongsam, was now dressed in in clothes and had light makeup on. However, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes had a glow that made people unable to look straight at her.

    The two of them stood quietly, and the progress of the television drama flowed quietly.

    For two whole minutes, there were only two silent figures looking at theke in the television camera. There was only the faint sound of the wind.

    At this moment, all the words seemed to be pale. In such a lively spring scene, the audience felt immense sorrow.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time for me to leave. You¡¯ve won. In an hour, I should leave the continent forever,¡± Chu Pingjiang finally said, his gazending on Qin Manyue.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I set you up bying here alone?¡± Qin Manyue looked straight at Chu Pingjiang.

    ¡°No.¡± Chu Pingjiang was very confident. ¡°I know you better than anyone. You¡¯re really kind. Even though you¡¯ve be the best killer, you still have sunlight in your bones.¡±

    After saying this, Chu Pingjiang adjusted his hat. ¡°Take care.¡±

    Seeing that Chu Pingjiang was about to leave, Qin Manyue¡¯s tears surged out. ¡°Have you ever loved me?¡±

    Chu Pingjiang stopped for a moment and smiled. ¡°Love? I only love my faith.¡±

    With that, Chu Pingjiang left.

    Before he could walk more than a hundred meters, a gunshot sounded on the ground. The always straight spine in front of her fell quietly in front of Qin Manyue.

    At this moment, Qin Manyue tightened her grip on the gun in her hand. The gun mist dissipated in front of her eyes. Qin Manyue walked forward expressionlessly, faster and faster. In the end, she ran to Chu Pingjiang¡¯s side.

    Seeing Qin Manyue, Chu Pingjiang looked relieved for a moment. Qin Manyue almost thought that she had seen wrongly.

    ¡°You¡¯re wrong. I¡¯m not kind. I have my beliefs too.¡± Qin Manyue clenched her fists tightly.

    Chu Pingjiang smiled. Qin Manyue knew him for so long, but she had never seen that smile.

    She had seen his shy, emotional, cold, and heartless appearance.

    The only thing she had never seen was such a warm smile. It was as if all the restraints had been cut off. It was like a light leaf that was finally about to fly into the distance.

    ¡°Miss Qin.¡± Chu Pingjiang¡¯s blood was flowing rapidly. He almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out thest sentence. ¡°Take care.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Pingjiang seemed to be unable to withstand it anymore and closed his eyes. Forever, he closed his elegant and cold eyes.

    Chu Pingjiang¡¯s hand finally slid down, revealing what he had been holding in his palm.

    It was a small sheepskin glove.

    Qin Manyue recalled their first meeting. At that time, she was in the car and smiled. ¡°Sir, please help me pick up my gloves.¡±

    That was their first meeting.

    The people from the organization came over and congratted her excitedly. ¡°You¡¯ve done a great job this time!!¡±

    Initially, everyone was worried that Qin Manyue would not dare to do anything due to her rtionship with Chu Pingjiang. They did not expect her to be so decisive.

    Qin Manyue was not as happy as she had imagined. ¡°Can you help me bury him in the suburbs?¡±

    Initially, no one was willing. After all, Chu Pingjiang was a high-ranking general of the enemy camp and had harmed countless of theirrades. However, on ount of Qin Manyue, everyone reluctantly carried him to the suburbs.

    The subsequent burial work was done by Qin Manyue alone. Her teammates had long left. At this moment, it began to drizzle, and the rain wet Chu Pingjiang¡¯s grave.

    Qin Manyue stood in front of the grave. There was no expression on her face, but her eyes made one feel silent.

    Qin Manyue touched the gun in her pocket.

    Before she came, she had unloaded the bullets inside. Chu Pingjiang was right. In the end, she still could not do it.

    However, thest bullet was real.

    During this period, only Chu Pingjiang had approached her pocket.

    The rain became heavier, causing Qin Manyue¡¯s eyes to turn red.

    In the city, the red g was raised high. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excitement and joy.

    Outside the city, in a lonely grave, a figure in the rain.

    The entire series ended.

    The television drama had already ended, but thements could not calm down for a long time.

    [I¡¯m really crying. Chu Pingjiang changed to the real bullet!! He used his life to pave the way for Qin Manyue in the future!]

    [ This ending, oh my god, it doesn¡¯t seem wrong for them to stand in their own position, but time has made them suffer. ]

    [In that era, there was so much helplessness and separation. I suddenly felt so happy to be able to lie in bed and watch television dramas and eat potato chips.]

    This ending, which waspletely different from the novel¡¯s ending, did not make the fans of the original novel angry that their favorite work had been magically modified.

    Because of this ending, the entire novel¡¯s structure rose again.

    [We fans of the original work have never been unreasonable people. This adaptation makes me, a fan of the original work, want to be a ve for the entire production team for a hundred years!!! Take all my tears away!!]

    Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci¡¯s perfect performance of the ending of the television drama raised the discussion of the entire drama to a new peak.

    There was clearly no hysterical scene, but it reaped the tears of countless audience.

    Three days after the television drama ended, heavy news spread in the entertainment industry.

    Xia Wanyuan was sessfully nominated as the ¡°Best Actress¡± of the annual ¡°Prynne Award¡± once every five years!!

    Although she was only nominated and had yet to be selected, she was already the youngest actress in history to participate in the Best Actresspetition.

 Chapter 921 - Rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala

    <h4>Chapter 921: Rehearsal for the Spring Festival G</h4>

    Unlike the Silver Rooster Award, the organizer of the ¡°Prynne¡± Award was not organized by a certainpany behind the scenes. The ¡°Prynne¡± Award was jointly organized by several major television stations in the country. The judges consisted of 20 national professional actors and 100 public judges from all walks of life.

    Be it the participation criteria or the selection criteria, they were all quite high. It was held once every five years and included all the major dramas within five years. If one really obtained this, they could dominate the domestic television industry for the rest of their lives.

    Hence, even if Xia Wanyuan had only entered the circle, it was enough to attract the attention of the entertainment industry.

    [This nomination is a little amazing. It can be considered the official recognition of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills.]

    [It¡¯s probably impossible to win the award. After all, there are so many seniors around. But to be nominated, it means that Xia Wanyuan still has something.]

    [ Is it that amazing? I¡¯ve seen a lot of my friends on WeChat watching Moon as Frost. I¡¯ll go and see if the rumors are true. ]

    The Weibo post that had once caused an uproar was once again pushed up by someone.

    ¡°Is it awkward? What about the person who stepped on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills back then? Being nominated for the Prynne Award already means that her acting skills have been recognized.¡±

    [Hehe, it¡¯s just a nomination and she didn¡¯t get an award. How shameless are the fans? Don¡¯t they often brag that Xia Wanyuan is a female CEO? Buy a nomination and see how excited your fans are.]

    Lin Shiyin¡¯s fans and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans began a new round of argument. Unfortunately, Lin Shiyin¡¯s fans were famous for being strong. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans had always been docile, so they had no choice but to be mocked at the door.

    From Chen Yun¡¯s excited expression, Xia Wanyuan also knew the weight of winning this award nomination. She looked at Jun Shiling suspiciously. ¡°You fought for me?¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped typing. ¡°You should be more confident in yourself.¡±

    Unless Xia Wanyuan spoke up, Jun Shiling would not help her arrange any awards. After all, with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength, there was no problem with these things.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through the script in her hand. Lin Jing had found someone to write it ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s request.

    The main storyline was actually Xia Wanyuan¡¯s growth in her previous life.

    Over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had filled in some details as she read. Now, the script waspletely mature.

    Thinking of entering the production team to film again, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the television building to rehearse.¡± Xia Wanyuan put away the script and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Remember to pick me up tonight.¡± Then, Xia Wanyuan walked straight out of the house.

    The temperature on his shoulder seemed to linger, after being patted by Xia Wanyuan. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s matter-of-fact tone, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up a little. Now that Xia Wanyuan was in front of him, he could really say that she was spoiled.

    However, he really liked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s spoiled appearance.

    It was already the middle of December, less than a month before the world-famous Chinese New Year G. All the preparations had ended, and people from all over the world were working hard for this event.

    Today was the first full rehearsal of the g.

    As a g that could gather more than a billion Chinese people, every scene needed to be extremely exquisite. Every minute and second needed to be urately calcted.

    In order to maintain the mystery of the show to the greatest extent, the headquarters used the strongest confidentiality measures in history for this year¡¯s Spring Festival G. They even released news at the beginning of the year that if anyone leaked the details of the Spring Festival G, they would receive a legalint from the headquarters.

    At this moment, even the paparazzi in the entertainment industry did not dare to follow and report on the Spring Festival G. Even if they heard anything, they did not dare to spread it.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived backstage, the executive director and producer were very happy to see her.

    It was too difficult to satisfy everyone of all ages and industries at the Spring Festival G. Over the years, the Spring Festival G had received more and moreints, and the number of people watching had decreased year by year. When the executive director received this mission, he had lost a lot of hair.

    Until Xia Wanyuan began to reveal her strength and her strong national appeal.

    Xia Wanyuan could sing and dance. Not only was she liked by the literary world, but she was also loved by the general public. She had many fans in the entertainment industry. Outside the entertainment industry, she had reaped countless middle-aged and old viewers through two popr dramas.

    Most importantly, she was young enough,

    There were many old artists who were known to the entire country at the Spring Festival G, but as the years passed, these old artists would also leave the stage one day. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance allowed the directors to see a highlight of this year¡¯s g.

    Xia Wanyuan had never participated in such a grand g. Although the training was very difficult, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mental state had always been very good. She was very cooperative with the rehearsal of the g. The executive director and producer nodded repeatedly as they watched from the side.

    The entire g took five hours.

    The preparations for filming, the makeup and clothes of thousands of people, the adjustments of various lighting equipment, the host¡¯s appearance, the connection of the show, and so on.

    The location and time of each event were strictly fixed. The Spring Festival G was a live broadcast and no mistakes were allowed.

    Xia Wanyuan arrived at the building at eight in the morning and only came out at eleven at night.

    After working the entire day in a full state of mind, Xia Wanyuan looked a little haggard when she got into the car.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached, but he knew that Xia Wanyuan liked to participate in this g, so in the end, he did not say anything to stop her.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up when she received another call from Chen Yun.

    Strawberry TV Station wanted to invite Xia Wanyuan to the New Year¡¯s Eve g.

    ¡°New Year countdown?¡± Xia Wanyuan actually did not quite understand the meaning of this word. After all, in her previous life, they only celebrated the Lunar New Year and did not have the modern New Year¡¯s Eve.

    However, gradually, after Chen Yun¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan understood a little.

    She remembered that she hade into contact with Strawberry TV Station when she first came to the modern world.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    ¡°The television station said that you can use an original song. Which one do you want to use?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll think about it. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?¡±

    Chen Yun nodded decisively. ¡°Of course.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s consideration was actually because she wanted to ¡°write one now.¡±

    It had been a long time since Xia Wanyuan had released a new song. Back then, Wan Yi¡¯s album still firmly upied the top spot on the sales rankings, leaving the second ce far behind.

    Xia Wanyuan was thinking about the inspiration for her new song when the bedroom door was pushed open. Xiao Bao, wearing a thick down jacket and a little dinosaur hat, barged in. ¡°Mommy, let¡¯s go out and build a snowman together.¡±

 Chapter 922 - Winning Gold for the Design Award

    <h4>Chapter 922: Winning Gold for the Design Award</h4>

    With the current weather, there was no need for artificial snowfall. It had snowed heavilyst night, and the manor was truly covered in silver. Thick snow umted on the ground, and a deep mark was left behind when one stepped on it.

    ¡°Daddy, look, Mommy¡¯s up!¡± Xiao Bao pulled Xia Wanyuan and skipped out the door.

    On the snow, Jun Shiling was shoveling snow to make a snowman. When he heard footsteps, he turned around with an unhappy expression. ¡°Your mother just caught a cold and you¡¯re pulling her around.¡±

    Xiao Bao hid beside Xia Wanyuan, who patted his head. ¡°I¡¯ve long recovered.¡±

    Jun Shiling touched the thickness of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and finally rxed his frown.

    The snow began to fall again. This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had built such a big snowman. She was as happy as a child the same age as Xiao Bao.

    After a while, a beautiful snowman was built by the three of them. Xiao Bao pulled off Jun Shiling¡¯s scarf and put it on the snowman.

    Hearing Xiao Bao¡¯s cheerfulughter, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling, meeting his warm and inclusive gaze.

    In that instant, Xia Wanyuan had already thought of the content and melody of the new song.

    When they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo again, the fans were already used to it.

    [Damn, a woman in love is so young.]

    [Yuan Yuan, show us what Brother-inw looks like. Just one look is enough.]

    Thest time Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu were exposed on the Inte, in less than half an hour, the studio directly denied this rumor.

    Over the past few days, the spection about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend had never stopped.

    It was probably because the ending of the two of them in ¡°Moon As Frost¡± made the audience cry too sadly. What could not be made up for in television dramas, everyone hoped that there would be aplete ending in reality.

    Hence, in a vote to guess who Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend was, 75% of the people guessed Yan Ci.

    Of the remaining 25%, 15% were Xuan Sheng, 5% were Qin Wu, 4.9% were other mysterious people, and the remaining 0.1% were Jun Shiling.

    [Xuan Sheng is probably impossible. Look at how much he values Xia Wanyuan. If the two of them really get together, Xuan Sheng will probably tell the world.]

    [ Sigh, my Midsummer Pact has announced a tragedy. However, I¡¯m very curious. What¡¯s wrong with this 0.1% person who chose Jun Shiling? Jun Shiling has a wife and child. Are you poisonous? ]

    [ I cast it casually. After all, Jun Shiling, that immortal figure, is quitepatible with Xia Wanyuan, this immortal. Sigh, what a pity. I wonder who Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend is to be able to pluck Xia Wanyuan, this high mountain flower. ]

    While theizens were secretly eating Xia Wanyuan¡¯s love melon, there was a considerablemotion in the international fashion world.

    In the past, the turmoil in the international fashion industry had nothing to do with China. After all, China¡¯s designs had always been ostracized by the international fashion industry.

    However, this time, the news from abroad was that the two designs designed by the Chinese designer X at Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion conference had won a gold award at the annual international designpetition in Laos.

    When the news reached China, the passers-by were still stunned. The fashion industry had already begun to rush to buy Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes.

    In the history of China, only three people had won this award. These threeter became master designers in the country.

    This designer X had won the Golden Award for design, which meant that his value had increased rapidly. Everyone in the fashion industry expected that the price of this designer¡¯s work would rise in the future.

 Chapter 923 - Promise Never to do Hunger Marketing

    <h4>Chapter 923: Promise Never to do Hunger Marketing</h4>

    The fashion design evaluation was done by several famous fashion magazines in Continent O to jointly select the most representative design of the season. Winning the gold award for this design evaluation represented the recognition of designers by international trends.

    With the help of various fashion bloggers, the passers-by understood the meaning of this Gold Award.

    While everyone was proud of the Chinese designer, they also paid attention to the two outfits that had been selected. These two outfits were what Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin had worn at Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony.

    The reason for the award was, ¡°Designer X perfectly blends the history of the East with the modernity of the West. From his design, we see the beauty nurtured by another culture.¡±

    Ever since the opening ceremony, Xiu Yi, whose orders had been soaring, weed a new wave of orders.

    Afterpleting all the projects in Linxi City, Shen Qian could finally return to Beijing. However, what weed him was the Xiafeng Group, which had expanded nearly twice its market value half a year ago.

    Looking at the detailed financial report, Shen Qian did not know whether tough or cry. He had been in the industry for so many years, but he had never seen a boss as magical as Xia Wanyuan, nor had he seen such a fast proliferation of assets.

    No one knew that those fashion designs were made by Xia Wanyuan. Shen Qian also thought that Xia Wanyuan had poached a genius from somewhere. After all, when she first started making Xiu Yi, Xia Wanyuan even had to ask him about the basic design concept.

    Seeing such a huge number of orders, Shen Qian was worried that the value of the brand would decrease after arge number of clothes were released to the market, so he conveyed his worry to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Xia, my idea is to cut arge number of orders and sell them in limited quantities to maintain the brand¡¯s value.¡± International luxury brands were famous both domestically and abroad. Other than their own brand design value, it was also inseparable from their proficiency in hunger marketing.

    After hearing Shen Qian¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan expressed her confusion very directly. ¡°Why should I maintain the brand value?¡±

    Shen Qian exined the concept of high-end brands and design value to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan considered for a moment. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Increase the number of orders. Don¡¯t do hunger marketing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan understood hunger marketing, but in her opinion, she should make good clothes. If the customers liked the clothes she designed, she would satisfy them and sell as many as they liked.

    Perhaps because Xia Wanyuan was the eldest princess of politics in her previous life, even though the modern world was no longer the regent, she still considered for the country.

    She had never felt that her design was so high-end. She was happy to see that ordinary people could have clothes they liked.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± No one would believe him. Shen Qian was a person in his thirties who was used to seeing big waves. Now, no matter what Xia Wanyuan said, he felt that it was a golden rule.

    That afternoon, Xiu Yi¡¯s official Weibo post caused a heated discussion on the Inte.

    @Xiu Yi: ¡°Xiu Yi will not take any restrictions on purchasing. Everyone, you don¡¯t have to rush to buy it. Xiu Yi promises that as long as customers need it, Xiu Yi¡¯s warehouse will be permanently sufficient.¡±

    This made everyone who was worried that they would not be able to snatch Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes heave a sigh of relief. Xiu Yi¡¯s sincere and generous promise made everyone praise them even more.

 Chapter 924 - Designing Mens Clothes for Only One Person

    <h4>Chapter 924: Designing Men¡¯s Clothes for Only One Person</h4>

    Ordinary customers were happy with Xiu Yi¡¯s announcement, but arge number of fashion bloggers appeared and analyzed the shorings of Xiu Yi¡¯s method from all aspects.

    For example, international famous brands¡¯ clothes would usually be sold in limited quantities. Some versions would be out of print. As long as they missed it, they would never be able to buy it again. Arge number of domestic brands followed suit and used all sorts of limited sales methods to maintain the high-end value of the brand.

    A famous fashion critic in the country even expressed his disapproval of Xiu Yi¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Xiu Yi doesn¡¯t care about the value of her brand at all. The rarer something is, the more expensive it is. If everyone could buy what they wanted, who would think that Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes were very precious? Would the designer be willing to spend his own effort to design for others? Xiu Yi is really short-sighted to give up its long-term value to earn immediate benefits.¡±

    [However, as an ordinary consumer, I quite like Xiu Yi. Every time I see especially beautiful clothes but can¡¯t snatch them, you don¡¯t know how much my heart hurts.]

    [As long as Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes maintain their current standards, I will always buy them. What do you mean what¡¯s rare is precious? If they look good enough, who cares if they¡¯re rare?]

    [I just want to secretly ask if Xiu Yi doesn¡¯t want to do men¡¯s line? My boyfriend saw that opening ceremonyst time and was stunned. He wanted to buy clothes, but he realized that Xiu Yi only sold female clothes.]

    Support our

    There was a heated discussion online. Xiu Yi quickly released another statement.

    @Xiu Yi: ¡°Thank you for your concern. We¡¯re very rich and we¡¯re not worried that it will depreciate in the future. Xiu Yi will develop men¡¯s clothing in the future, but Designer X will not participate in the men¡¯s clothing design.¡±

    It turned out that simple and crude words could often calm down all arguments.

    Seeing Xiu Yi¡¯s rich and imposing response, the fashion bloggers who were originally discussing happily fell silent. <i>If the brand was not worried about its depreciation, what was the use of us worrying here?</i>

    Everyone was looking forward to Xiu Yi developing men¡¯s clothing, but it was a pity that Designer X did not participate in the design of men¡¯s clothing.

    The designer X, who had dered that he would not design men¡¯s clothes, was sitting at his desk and seriously drawing the design of a man¡¯s suit.

    Jun Shiling did not speak a few times.

    Finally, after Xia Wanyuan finished drawing three sets of designs, Jun Shiling could not help but say, ¡°Xiu Yi is preparing to sell men¡¯s clothes?¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pen paused and a smile shed across her eyes. However, she lowered her head and Jun Shiling did not see it.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Jun Shiling wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything and walked to the side to work.

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, ten minutester, Jun Shiling walked over again. ¡°You¡¯re already very tired from designing women¡¯s clothes. Leave the men¡¯s wear to other designers. Let¡¯s work together. I¡¯ll invite the most famous designers in the world back to China for you.¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t do. I have to design these clothes myself.¡± Finally, Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jun Shiling looked very disappointed, but he still tried his best to hide his emotions. The thought of others being able to wear men¡¯s clothes personally designed by Xia Wanyuan made him feel ufortable. Even if it was not personally made by Xia Wanyuan, she could not design it personally.

    However, once Xia Wanyuan decided on something, he would not force her to change it. Jun Shiling nced at the blueprint on the table, then turned to continue working. Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan grabbed his hand.

    ¡°Where are you going? Come and take your measurements.¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly turned around. ¡°That clothes was designed for me?¡±

    Two dimples appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheeks. ¡°Who else?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not for sale?¡±

    ¡°Xiu Yi does have the idea of doing men¡¯s clothing.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darken again, Xia Wanyuan was amused. ¡°However, I won¡¯t participate in the design. I¡¯ll only design men¡¯s clothing for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew how possessive Jun Shiling was. She did not want to see him sad about these things.

    Furthermore, in ancient times, a wife would only sew clothes for her husband.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Only for me?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Can you not go to rehearsal in the afternoon? I want you.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms, his mood surging. He just wanted to do something to let Xia Wanyuan know how happy he was.

    ¡°Go away.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and pushed him. ¡°Today is the second mass training. Of course I have to go.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not let go of her. He pressed her into his arms and kissed her for a long time before reluctantly sending Xia Wanyuan out.

    Xia Wanyuan had just entered the television building when the Inte erupted because of Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo post.

 Chapter 925 - Princess, Is There a Problem With My Popularity?

    <h4>Chapter 925: Princess, Is There a Problem With My Poprity?</h4>

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan thin figure walking in, Jun Shiling thought of how Xia Wanyuan had said that she would only design men¡¯s clothes for him. He could not suppress the joy in his heart. He took out his phone and logged into Weibo to post a post.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°Madam said that she only designs clothes for me.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling¡¯s ount had not posted anything for a long time, he could attract a hundred million fans with three posts. Once this post was released, it undoubtedly caused a heated discussion.

    [Eh? Is Madam Jun a fashion designer?? Amazing, I really want to know which one it is.]

    Jun Shiling replied, ¡°The designer of Xiu Yi, X, is my wife.¡±

    All along, no matter how the outside world guessed about Jun Shiling¡¯s wife, they could not get any news about her. Now that Jun Shiling had taken the initiative to expose that Designer X was his wife, the name Designer X was instantly filled with heated discussions.

    Designer X, who was already in the limelight because she had won an international design award, upied the trending list for nearly two days with Xiu Yi.

    [ Madam Jun is amazing!!! In my lifetime, I actually wore clothes designed by Jun Shiling¡¯s wife. Mommy, I¡¯m sessful!! ]

    [No wonder Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony was so grand. So Jun Shiling¡¯s wife is behind it.]

    [ Without further ado, I¡¯m going to buy Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes. With the help of the clothes designed by the wife of the richest man, I hope that the richest man will bless my fortune. ]

    [Am I the only one who envies Jun Shiling? Don¡¯t we boys deserve to look good? I¡¯m crying. I probably won¡¯t be able to wear clothes designed by X in my lifetime.]

    After Jun Shiling sent this post, Xiu Yi¡¯s order increased by 10%.

    Xia Wanyuan had been participating in the rehearsal for the Spring Festival G in the television building the entire afternoon. She had hurriedly eaten dinner in the car at six and had to rush to Strawberry TV Station to rehearse for the g program.

    Chen Yun¡¯s heart ached as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wanyuan, are you alright? Does CEO Jun know that you have to rehearse tonight?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°He knows. Send me to the television stationter and go back first. He¡¯ll pick me up tonight.¡±

    Being Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager now, Chen Yun¡¯s financial situation was worlds apart from before. His wife had just gotten pregnant with her second child and needed someone to take care of her.

    ¡°They¡¯ve already rehearsed many times, yet you¡¯re only added in now. I¡¯ll help you coordinate things before leaving.¡±

    The New Year¡¯s Eve g at Strawberry TV Station had begun preparations a few months ago. Originally, Xia Wanyuan was not on the list.

    However, with the explosion of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±, Xia Wanyuan had reaped countless fans. Strawberry TV station forcefully changed the original program arrangement and stuffed Xia Wanyuan into the program list.

    Soon, they arrived at the recording venue of Strawberry TV Station.

    In the north, it rarely rained in the winter. This year, Strawberry TV Station¡¯s New Year¡¯s G had designed a semi-open stage venue.

    When Chen Yun brought Xia Wanyuan in, the music was high and rehearsals had already begun on stage.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re here.¡± Unlike the treatment Xia Wanyuan received when she first came to Strawberry TV Station, the director and producer were all smiling when they saw her. After all, Xia Wanyuan had a huge amount of traffic on her. With her around, they did not have to worry about the viewership ratings.

    ¡°Director.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°It¡¯s like this. After discussing, we¡¯ve decided to let your show start the g. We¡¯ve already received your apaniment. Prepare yourself and let¡¯s walk the through the performance.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± There was no need to change her makeup for a simple rehearsal. Xia Wanyuan prepared briefly and waited in the waiting area.

    The directors and producers were overjoyed to see Xia Wanyuan. When her peers in the entertainment industry saw her, their expressions were not very good.

    The cake in the entertainment industry was only so big. Xia Wanyuan had taken the greatest limelight this year alone. With her current poprity and national poprity, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was top-notch.

    The entertainment industry had always been the most realistic. Strawberry TV Station directly reced the opening program with Xia Wanyuan, causing many people who had debuted for many years to feel indignant.

    Now, seeing how Xia Wanyuan did not even greet them, her heart ached even more.

    ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this the big celebrity, Miss Xia? Miss Xia, this is your first time attending the New Year¡¯s G, right? You¡¯re so lucky to start for your first time.¡±

    Hearing this sharp female voice, Xia Wanyuan turned around to take a look. It was an unfamiliar woman in a strapless sequined gown. At this moment, the woman was looking at her with jealousy.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her and turned around. Her light voice pierced through the deafening background music. ¡°I¡¯m very popr. I¡¯m the champion of album sales. With my professionalism, is there a problem with me doing the opening?¡±

    ¡°...¡­..¡±

 Chapter 926 - CEO Jun Berates the Princess

    <h4>Chapter 926: CEO Jun Berates the Princess</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light sentence stunned everyone around her.

    <i>High poprity? ¡°Moon As Frost¡±¡®s viewership ratings exploded, and its poprity soared.</i>

    <i>The sales of Wan Yi was still firmly at the top of the rankings.</i>

    Everyone thought about it.?<i>There was indeed nothing wrong with it, but!! She¡¯s a newbie, that¡¯s too arrogant!</i>

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re so confident.¡± Shang Jie could not help but mock her again. ¡°There are so many A-list celebrities at the g. I wonder if you think that they can¡¯tpare to you.¡±

    After waiting for a long time, Xia Wanyuan did not respond, as if she did not take this provocation seriously.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in simple clothes that could not hide her beauty, Shang Jie was jealous and angry.

    Originally, her managementpany had spent a lot of money to get her an opportunity to perform behind Yan Ci at the g. They wanted to use Yan Ci¡¯s poprity to increase her exposure.

    They had been rehearsing for so long, but they did not expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly join. The organizers of the g adjusted the order of the performance again. Shang Jie¡¯s position was at the back, and thepany¡¯s early operations were all wasted.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan go on stage to practice, Shang Jie looked at her back hatefully.

    ¡°Pfft, I don¡¯t know how many times you¡¯ve packaged your voice in the recording studio, but you still have the cheek to say it. Neers nowadays are really arrogant when they have some results.¡±

    However, in the next second, the apanying music sounded. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice spread throughout the venue through the sound system. Shang Jie¡¯s mocking words were stuck in her throat.

    Anyone with ears could tell that Xia Wanyuan sang very well.

    The television station had prepared a specialized dance team for Xia Wanyuan. Because there was no friction in the early stages, the dance team¡¯s performance tonight was not very good. They were always a littlecking in rhythm with Xia Wanyuan, so they had never met the director¡¯s requirements.

    In order to show the best stage effect, Xia Wanyuan could only practice with the team continuously.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, Miss Xia. I caught a cold today and my movements are a little slow.¡± The person leading the dance was a young girl. After continuous mistakes, she bowed apologetically to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her. Even with makeup, the little girl¡¯s face was pale, so she did not argue with her.

    The dance troupe and singers needed to work together. Xia Wanyuan felt that it was not a bad thing to practice a few more times.

    It was not until eleven in the evening that Xia Wanyuan finally ended the rehearsal.

    Most people in the entertainment industry knew each other. After the drill, everyone was busy greeting each other and greeting their seniors. Xia Wanyuan looked around and did not see anyone she knew, so she walked out of the door herself.

    Xia Wanyuan was currently in the limelight. The others followed behind her in groups, sizing up this new trend with different expressions.

    Everyone walked out. Outside the recording studio, there was a car parked. There was only one car parked in the huge square.

    Strawberry TV Station¡¯s g was held in a strictly controlled gymnasium. Parking was not allowed here, so even if everyone drove over, they could only park in the underground parking lot.

    Now that they saw this Phantom parked so pompously at the door, they were all wondering which god was so respected.

    Then, everyone saw Xia Wanyuan get into the car. The Phantom quickly left under everyone¡¯s gazes.

    Seeing this scene, many people could not help but gossip about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend.

    ¡°Tsk tsk, to be able to drive the Phantom over to pick her up, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend is really powerful. No wonder the New Year¡¯s G specially let her start. It¡¯s good to be rich.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that she has a boyfriend, but I¡¯ve never seen him publicly. Could he be the kind that can¡¯t be seen in public?¡±

    ¡°You have a point. If she was dating openly, why didn¡¯t she leak any information about her boyfriend? Maybe she didn¡¯t dare to leak it. If she leaked it, she wouldn¡¯t be able to keep her goddess halo, haha.¡±

    All the criticism stopped outside. In the car, Xia Wanyuan was eating the cake Jun Shiling had fed her.

    ]¡±CEO Jun, why are you always so warm?¡± Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on Jun Shiling¡¯s shirt. Jun Shiling¡¯s body kept transmitting warmth to her palm.

    ¡°Eat half. I got Nanny Li to make you supper.¡± Taking away the remaining cake, Jun Shiling reached out and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s frozen fingertips.

    Xia Wanyuan stared at Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome face and did not speak. She suddenly leaned forward and kissed him, smelling of cake.

    ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me.¡± Jun Shiling berated her coldly.

    Xia Wanyuan liked to take the initiative to tease him more and more now. However, Xia Wanyuan had been extremely busy these few days. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached for her, so he did not dare to torture her anymore. He could only endure it himself.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s reprimand, Xia Wanyuan did not mind. When Jun Shiling warmed her fingertips just now, she suddenly thought of her previous life.

    At that time, her younger brother was still young and many important matters in the imperial court needed her to manage. The winter in Xia country was also very cold, and it was not as warm as the air conditioner today.

    Usually, she would get the servants to light a charcoal fire in the house and then stand guard by the candle to review the memorials. Normally, she would spend the night reading them. If she held the brush for too long, she would freeze.

    At this time, she usually reached out to the brazier to warm herself up before approving the documents.

    But now, after she finished work, there was hot food waiting at home. Jun Shiling would use his body temperature to warm her frozen hands.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and hooked Jun Shiling with her fingertips through his shirt. ¡°I just want to provoke you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s body stiffened and he tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°If you provoke me again, the braised pork for supper will be canceled.¡±

    He had nothing else to threaten Xia Wanyuan with.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up. She leaned forward and kissed Jun Shiling. ¡°You won¡¯t cancel it.¡±

    The red braised pork made by the Jun family¡¯s chef was fat and thin. It melted in the mouth and was not greasy at all. Ever since she said that she liked to eat it, Jun Shiling had asked the manor to prepare this dish for three meals a day.

    Jun Shiling sighed helplessly and pressed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist closer to him, making her lean closer. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 927: Anonymous Report Favorite Teacher</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan was already sitting on Jun Shiling¡¯sp. Being pressed in by Jun Shiling, she was immediately pressed close to Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan moved unnaturally, but Jun Shiling held her waist. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, your self-control is really bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not dare to move anymore. She looked up at Jun Shiling and smiled.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and suddenly smiled.

    Jun Shiling was handsome to begin with. Even though they had lived together for so long, Xia Wanyuan was still dazzled by Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden brilliance. ¡°What are youughing at?¡±

    ¡°Do you know what your fans say about you?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan rarely paid attention to thements on Weibo.

    ¡°They said you¡¯re cold and aloof.¡± A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°They said you¡¯re the Ice Goddess. They said the entire world can be a little vixen, but not you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Do you know what a little vixen means?¡±

    <i>Jun Shiling¡¯s life was filled with finance and capital. He was even more old-fashioned than my lifestyle, yet he knew what a little vixen was?</i>

    ¡°The way you are now.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°Are you scolding me?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s smile widened. ¡°No, you¡¯re very cute.¡±

    If Xia Wanyuan did not trust him, she would definitely not be like this in front of him.

    When they returned to the manor, Mother Li had already prepared the food.

    When Xia Wanyuan first came to the modern world, the servants did not hate her, but they avoided her in their hearts. After all, the original owner was arrogant and domineering.

    Now, in the manor, the servants all liked this mistress from the bottom of their hearts. Xia Wanyuan looked cold, but she was actually very easy to get along with. Moreover, as long as Xia Wanyuan was around, Jun Shiling would not be so scary.

    Although Jun Shiling had informed the manor to make a simple supper, the servants had made many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite dishes.

    Xia Wanyuan went upstairs full from food. Jun Shiling had already filled the bathtub for her.

    After a while, it was almost one o¡¯clock in the morning. Xia Wanyuan finally crawled under the nket with a faint fragrance. Jun Shiling, who had been reading documents, put down what he was doing and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced her foot on Jun Shiling¡¯s leg. ¡°CEO Jun, I can¡¯t sleep.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s body stiffened. He reached out and pressed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foot to stop her from moving. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to school tomorrow morning?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±

    un Shiling gritted his teeth. ¡°Then don¡¯t provoke me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t think you can hug me yet.¡±

    Jun Shiling suddenly stood up and walked quickly out the door. Xia Wanyuan looked at the open door in surprise. Not long after, Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao into the house.

    Just as Xiao Bao was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly picked up by arge hand. He thought it was a little monster and struggled for a long time before realizing that it was Jun Shiling.

    Xiao Bao was still sleepy and looked adorable.

    The next second, he was thrown into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms by Jun Shiling. Xiao Bao did not know what had happened, but he subconsciously smelled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scent. His big eyes curved up. ¡°Mommy!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry as she patted Xiao Bao¡¯s back. ¡°Mm, go to sleep.¡±

    Lying in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, Xiao Bao quickly fell asleep again. Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Jun Shiling, who was standing by the bed. Jun Shiling happened to look at her too. Xia Wanyuan turned her head and snorted.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling sighed in his heart. He lifted the nket and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair through Xiao Bao. ¡°Goodnight, baby.¡±

    At an angle that Jun Shiling could not see, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next morning, just as Xia Wanyuan arrived at the school gate, Principal Yang called her. Xia Wanyuan went to the office and saw Principal Yang looking worried.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re here. Sit.¡± Principal Yang waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I have something to tell you.¡±

    In front of Xia Wanyuan, Principal Yang had never put on any airs. He directly revealed his intention of looking for Xia Wanyuan.

    During this period of time, the education system was being investigated. The higher-ups had set up anonymous reporting points nationwide to collect information from the education system.

    After the report ended, the higher-ups counted the questions that the first-tier teachers had the most reactions to. One of the more important ones was a report about Xia Wanyuan.

    A professor at Qing University, and a dual professor at that. Such a halo was too dazzling. Many people could not reach the threshold of Qing University even if they worked hard their entire lives.

    In China, to be a university professor, one had to at least have a Ph.D. degree. Furthermore, one had to have multiple overseas studies experiences. Then, they had to be evaluated from teachers, teaching assistants, lecturers, associate professors, and professors. Every level had to have the corresponding ss duration, thesis, and scientific research results. The higher one went, the higher the requirements.

    Normally speaking, it would take decades to be a professor at an ordinary university, let alone the top university in China.

    In the country, many teachersined anonymously to their superiors. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, an ordinary undergraduate graduate, has neither a doctorate nor a journal to publish. What right does she have to be a dual professor at Qing University?¡±

    Without this appeal, no one knew that there were so many teachers in the country who doubted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity as a professor.

    Humans were like this. When they were alone, they did not dare to stand up and speak. Once they realized that they had morepanions, their courage increased.

    Instantly, arge number of teachers from the education system in the country stood up and openly questioned the Education Bureau and Qing University. ¡°How did Xia Wanyuan manage to be a professor at Qing University?¡±

    More and more people spoke up. In the end, the Education Bureau could not sit still anymore. They wrote a letter to the Qing University exining the situation and iming that if Xia Wanyuan really could not meet the requirements, they could not give her the title of professor. This was against the rules.

    ¡°Sigh, we all know your strength.¡± Principal Yang was caught in the middle and found it difficult to do anything. ¡°I¡¯m just informing you about this. You don¡¯t have to take it to heart. We old fellows will help you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Principal.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to ss first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, go. Don¡¯t feel burdened.¡± Principal Yang sighed. It was a good thing that the education system had rules, but these rules were really too rigid sometimes.

    Xia Wanyuan, who usually arrived early in the ssroom, was a few minuteste today after being held up in the office for a while.

    Xia Wanyuan taught the students as usual. The students today were more cooperative than before.

    ¡°Alright, does anyone have any other questions?¡±

    The students in the ssroom instantly raised their hands. Xia Wanyuan randomly picked one.

    ¡°Professor Xia, I have no questions. I just have something to tell you. You¡¯re my favorite teacher I¡¯ve met since I was young. No matter what others say, I admire your knowledge.¡±

 Chapter 928 - Donâ€™t Want a Son Anymore

    <h4>Chapter 928: Don¡¯t Want a Son Anymore</h4>

    As soon as the student finished speaking, the others echoed.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Professor Xia, you taught me really well. What I look forward to the most every day ising to your ss.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to those people¡¯s nonsense. I think they¡¯re just jealous of your talent. Professor Xia, you¡¯re my goddess.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood on the podium and looked down. The pairs of clear eyes were filled with trust and affirmation for her.

    Actually, after hearing Principal Yang¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan did not feel much. The title of professor was the same to her, no matter if she had it or not, but now, seeing so many people supporting and looking forward to her,

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt that standing on this podium, she had taken on a lot of responsibility and hope. She should not give up first.

    ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly. ¡°I¡¯ll still be standing here tomorrow.¡±

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the ssroom under the apuse of all the students.

    Although they were still young, they told Xia Wanyuan in their own way that they were all standing behind her.

    Xia Wanyuan now had tens of millions of web traffic. As long as there was news rted to her, marketing ounts could not wait to upload it to the media 24 hours a day.

    Furthermore, it was a big matter like being anonymously reported by the National Teachers¡¯ Front.

    For the sake of poprity, the marketing ounts came up with a rather sensational title.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is being boycotted by the National Teachers¡¯ Front.¡±

    All the major media outlets also went into the water. With the support of the news media, some teachers who had only dared to question behind the scenes also stood up publicly.

    ¡°We studied hard for 22 years and graduated with an undergraduate degree. We studied for three years to get a master¡¯s degree, and another three for a Ph.D. In the blink of an eye, we were almost 30 years old before we barely obtained the qualifications to enter the university as lecturers. By the time we received a professional evaluation, we were about to retire. Some teachers could not even be considered professors.

    How old is Xia Wanyuan this year? She¡¯s only 22 years old and is a dual professor at the top university in China. I just want to ask, why? Why doesn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan¡¯s promotion need to follow the rules of the education system? Are the rules used to control honest people like us?¡±

    The sincere words of these teachers immediately caused a heated discussion.

    [ Emmm, although I like Xia Wanyuan very much, from the looks of it, Xia Wanyuan, this dual-faculty professor, seems to not be legitimate. ]

    [Xia Wanyuan is a member of the International Painter Association. Do you know what this means? I don¡¯t know much about the literature department, but based on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s achievements in painting, I think there¡¯s nothing wrong with her being a professor.]

    [What about literature professors? Literature requires a lot of umtion. Xia Wanyuan is only 22 years old, right? If I were a teacher from another school, I would definitely not be convinced. She became a literature professor at Qing University at such a young age.]

    The public opinion on the Inte was abuzz. In the end, the Education Bureau could not withstand the pressure and directly applied it to the Qing University, asking for an exnation.

    The Qing University remained silent from beginning to end. No matter how theizens questioned, there was no response.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was standing at the center of public opinion, was writing furiously at her desk.

    After returning from school yesterday, Xia Wanyuan specially checked the requirements to be conferred the title of professor in the country. Although there was a limit to one¡¯s academic qualifications, if the number of papers published in the core journals reached a certain number and the contribution to academia wasrge enough, the Qing University could also rx its restrictions and stop the public from talking.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the study for four hours. Downstairs, Jun Shiling looked at the time and finally could not help but barge in.

    Jun Shiling walked over and pressed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was writing. ¡°Stop writing. Look at the time.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan look up at the time. ¡°Why is it sote?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled the pen out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Can you listen to my suggestion?¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned back in her chair and looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be the professor of literature first.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to massage Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders. ¡°They will invite you back one day.¡±

    He knew best how tired Xia Wanyuan had been because of the few research projects in the country. He also knew how much Xia Wanyuan had yed a role in them.

    Those people only saw that Xia Wanyuan had upied the position of a professor at Qing University, but they could not see how much she had sacrificed. Then she should just leave, and see if they couldplete the project without Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan half-closed her eyes and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    In any case, it was not easy for the school leaders to be stuck in the middle. If she resigned, the school could exin to the outside world.

    ¡°Then stop writing now. Go and rest.¡± Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up by the waist. ¡°If you torture yourself, I¡¯ll feel ufortable with you.¡±

    After being ced on the bed by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and did not let go. ¡°After I resign, I won¡¯t be attending sses tomorrow. CEO Jun, I miss you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were like a fuse connected to a pile of gunpowder, instantly igniting Jun Shiling¡¯s fire. Jun Shiling¡¯s body instantly stiffened, and his breathing became hurried. He lowered his head and nted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips.

    The dry firewood collided with fire. Jun Shiling immediately lost control and flipped over with Xia Wanyuan.

    However, in the next second, a childish voice came from under the nket. ¡°Aiya, there¡¯s a little monster.¡±

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan immediately separated. Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket beside her. Under the nket, Xiao Bao rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up. ¡°Mommy, I waited for you for a long time. I fell asleep while waiting.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Bao, why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and tidied her clothes.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Daddy ask me to sleep with Mommy yesterday?¡± Xiao Bao pouted, his big eyes filled with praise. ¡°Daddy, see if I¡¯m obedient. I didn¡¯t ask you to call me today, so I came obediently!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was as dark as ice.

    ¡°Mommy, sleep!¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm andy happily between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.?<i>Yesterday, Daddy had let me lie like this!?</i>

    ¡°Okay, sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s back and looked at the aggrieved Jun Shiling. She could not help butugh. Jun Shiling nced at her with resentment in his eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling leaned over and heard Xia Wanyuan whisper into his ear, ¡°Wait until Xiao Bao falls asleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragrance mixed with the heat from the nket lingered around Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling clenched his fists.

    He did not want to wait for Jun Yin to fall asleep. He did not want his son anymore. Whoever wanted his son could take him away.

    Xiao Bao seemed especially excited today and kept pestering Xia Wanyuan to tell him stories. Xia Wanyuan patiently coaxed him to sleep.

    At the same time, the Qing University, which had been silent for a long time, finally posted a Weibo postte at night. It was only an extremely simple sentence.

    @ Qing University: ¡°Xia Wanyuan has stepped down as a professor of literature at Qing University. Her position as a professor in the art department remains. All teachers and students of Qing University are deeply regretful.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 929: Support for the Princess in Qing University</h4>

    Qing University¡¯s response was brief, but it carried a lot of emotions.

    The words ¡°all the teachers and students are deeply regretful¡± revealed their unwillingness.

    [ Mmmmm, this Weibo editor of Qing University is a fan of Xia Wanyuan, right? The entire school¡¯s teachers and students are deeply regretful. Who gave him the face to represent all the teachers and students of Qing University? ]

    Most of thements on Qing University¡¯s Weibo were questioned by this sentence.

    What they did not expect was that the teachers and students of the Qing University would stand up and say that they were deeply regretful.

    Clicking on this topic, Weibo was filled with people from Qing University showing off their student ID to speak up for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯m XX from the Physics Department. Professor Xia¡¯s literature evaluation ss is my favorite ss. I¡¯m an engineering student. Because of Professor Xia¡¯s exnation, I felt the unique beauty of our Chinese culture. Professor Xia stepped down and I¡¯m deeply regretful.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m XX from the Chinese department. I really like Professor Xia¡¯s sses. Professor Xia¡¯s sses are both interesting and knowledgeable. I can even see Professor Xia casually draw a priceless painting on the ckboard. I¡¯m deeply regretful that Professor Xia resigned.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m XX from the Chemistry Department¡­¡±

    ....

    Not only did arge number of Qing University students appear on Weibo, but the teachers, academicians, school leaders, and academic leaders that Xia Wanyuan usually worked with also stood up to express their approval of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work ability.

    Especially the teachers of the literature and art departments. Xia Wanyuan was knowledgeable and efficient in the past, greatly reducing the pressure on the department.

    Furthermore, in order to let Xia Wanyuan get along better with her colleagues in school, Jun Shiling would send gifts to the teachers in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name every few days. The gifts were simply smashing into their hearts.

    Who would not like such a colleague?

    [Oh my god, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen so many big shots move out at the same time. The big shots that I usually only see in textbooks actually appeared alive today.]

    [This topic is filled with students from Qing University!!! Sisters!!! Hurry up and choose a husband!!! These are all potential stocks! Young talents! Hurry up and snatch them!]

    [Your building is crooked¡­ So many people have stood up to support Xia Wanyuan¡­ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity is really good.]

    With so many teachers and students speaking up for Xia Wanyuan, theizens¡¯ initial doubts began to waver. Soon, a long Weibo post with ¡°a cup of milk tea and pearls¡± attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    A cup of milk tea and pearls: ¡°My results are bad and I can¡¯t go to Qing University. I came to this topic mainly to say a few words on behalf of my mother.¡±

    My mother was a youth who came to the countryside in thest century and had always stayed in the countryside to raise us. When we grew up, my mother was a cleaner at Qing University. She happened to hear Professor Xia¡¯s ss and felt that it was especially good.

    After so many years, my mother could barely write a few words with a pen. However, she said that Professor Xia¡¯s ss had returned her to her days of studying.

    When my mother had nothing to do, she would go outside the ssroom to listen to sses. After Professor Xia saw it, she would chat with my mother in the garden after ss and exin things that she did not understand.

    Now, my mother has started to reread the three hundred poems of the Tang Dynasty. Sometimes, even I feel inferior to her insights.

    I had never listened to Professor Xia¡¯s ss, but I thought that if it could awaken the literary dream of a rural olddy and make an olddy in her fifties understand her ss.

    This was enough to show how good Professor Xia¡¯s lecture was.

    Not only can she make a group of high-quality people think that she taught well, but she can also make old people understand. Such a teacher has to step down. What kind of teacher does the education system want?¡±

    This small article was quickly reposted by arge number ofizens.

    The media, reporters, and university teachers took out arge amount of data and set up variousws and regtions. They said all sorts of dignified words, but in the end, they could not resist people¡¯s true feelings.

    Even though everyone understood that the Qing University had already removed Xia Wanyuan from office and there was no possibility of aeback, they had to protest in their own way to express their support for Xia Wanyuan.

    It was alreadyte at night, but the debate about abilities and rules on the Inte continued. In the manor, the excited Xiao Bao finally entered a sweet dream in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were closed, and his long eyshes were like two small fans. It was unknown what he was dreaming of, but he pouted slightly and puffed up his already chubby face.

    The more Xia Wanyuan looked at him, the more adorable she felt. She could not help but kiss Xiao Bao on the cheek.

    As if sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s approach, Xiao Bao did not forget to tter her in his sleep. ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re the most beautiful.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bao fell silent again.

    After a while, Xiao Bao fell into a deep sleep. Xia Wanyuan stuffed his little hand under the nket and got out of bed.

    Jun Shiling, who had been sitting on the sofa and reading, sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements, but he did not get up. Instead, he continued reading, but the page did not change for a long time.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s wrist, pulling him up.

    Xia Wanyuan carefully closed the master bedroom door and looked up. ¡°CEO Jun, hug me.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at her steadily, then suddenly picked Xia Wanyuan up and strode to the guest room furthest from the master bedroom, kicking the door open.

    The moment he entered, Xia Wanyuan suddenlyughed in his arms.

    ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Jun Shiling ced her on the bed.

    ¡°Laughing at us for being sneaky.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with stars in her eyes.

    ¡°Whose fault is this?¡± Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheek.

    ¡°It¡¯s your fault.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out and tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeping robe. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and slowly bent down. ¡°Do you know how many times you¡¯ve flirted with me in the past few days?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked, looking like she knew but did not admit it.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while.¡±

    The night was getting darker, and spring wasing.

    There was no need for ss the next day. Xia Wanyuan slept until noon before waking up. It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the house was as warm as spring, with a hint of cold plum fragrance.

    In the white porcin bottle by the bed, a few red plums were proudly praising.

    ¡°How many times have you teased me?¡± It was rare for Jun Shiling not to wake up early today. Hey with Xia Wanyuan until noon. Sensing that Xia Wanyuan had woken up, he hugged her tighter.

    ¡°Bastard, you asked for it twice more.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Looks like you still remember. You didn¡¯t tell me no matter how I askedst night.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned over and snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, hugging his waist. ¡°There are no sses today, and I don¡¯t want to work. I want to sleep for a while more.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Reality was not what she had expected. Xia Wanyuan had just closed her eyes when her phone rang.

    <h4>Chapter 930: CEO Jun and Princess Live-Streams Together Proim Ownership</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan took her phone. It was Shen Qian.

    After listening to Shen Qian¡¯s report, Xia Wanyuan gave a few simple instructions, then sat up and looked at Jun Shiling beside her. ¡°You can¡¯t sleep in anymore. Get up and work with me.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Understood.¡±

    The Moon Bay project that Shen Qian had been supervising in Linxi City had beenpleted.

    The Moon Bay project was a resort-style eco-tour project developed by the Xiafeng Group. Even though the Xiafeng Group had already hired a professional design team, Shen Qian trusted Xia Wanyuan the most.

    He had called to hear Xia Wanyuan¡¯s suggestions for the Moon Bay project and what else she needed to add.

    For the entire afternoon, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling worked in the study. From time to time, Jun Shiling would give Xia Wanyuan some opinions from his own perspective.

    Support our

    ¡°You¡¯re really amazing.¡± Jun Shiling always helped Xia Wanyuan look at problems from another angle. In the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan had already praised Jun Shiling no less than three times.

    Jun Shiling was happy to be praised by Xia Wanyuan, and there was a smile in his eyes. ¡°What sweet words.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to do a live broadcast tonight.¡± Xia Wanyuan saved the proposal and stretched. ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could be said to be the most mysterious top trend in history.

    Xia Wanyuan only had two or three endorsements in her hands. There were many other contracts that came to Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan did not ept products that she had not used.

    The products Xia Wanyuan used were all custom-made, so there was no need for an endorsement. Thepany spoiled Xia Wanyuan. If she didn¡¯t want to ept it, so be it.

    Hence, other than television dramas, it was too difficult for fans to see Xia Wanyuan.

    Chen Yun had no choice but to get Xia Wanyuan broadcast more.

    Xia Wanyuan sat at the dining table and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Do you mind if I do a live-stream while eating?¡±

    ¡°How dare I have an opinion about what you do?¡±

    ¡°You...¡± Amused by Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan immediately started a live-stream.

    The Weibo officials specially set up a live-stream reminder for Xia Wanyuan. Soon, arge number of viewers surged into the live-stream.

    ¡°Good evening.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing simple home clothes and had no makeup on, appeared in the live-stream with a smile. ¡°Have you eaten? I¡¯m ready to eat.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she swept the camera around the table. The steaming hot food aroused everyone¡¯s appetite.

    [Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m here!! Yuan Yuan is also very beautiful today!]

    [I¡¯ve finally waited for you again. I¡¯m crying. This food looks so fragrant. Goddess, eat quickly. Don¡¯t starve yourself.]

    In thements, all sorts ofments flew up and the special effects of the gifts exploded.

    Xia Wanyuan fixed the angle of her phone and began the broadcast.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan chew on the especially delicious food with slightly puffed cheeks, the audience in the live-stream drooled.

    Just as everyone was sighing that Xia Wanyuan looked so good even when she was eating, a well-defined wrist suddenly appeared in the camera. The slender hand shape was so perfect that it seemed to have been copied from aic.

    This hand held the prawn tail and brought the white fat prawn meat that had been peeled to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and bit down very naturally, as if she had done it thousands of times.

    At this moment, thements exploded.

    [!!! Is it Brother-inw!!! F*ck! This hand!!! I¡¯m dead!!! ]

    [Please show your face, Brother-inw! These hands are amazing. I can already imagine what kind of handsome man the owner of these hands is.]

    [Boohoo, I just want to watch a live broadcast. Why are you torturing me? I just want to say that let the dog food be more intense.]

    In the camera, every few seconds, those hands would feed Xia Wanyuan a prawn.

    Finally, Xia Wanyuan touched her stomach and looked to the side. Her dimples were shallow. ¡°I¡¯m full.¡±

    ¡°Have some more vegetables.¡± A male voice appeared in the live-stream. It was low and maic, like a mellow cello that tugged at one¡¯s heartstrings.

    ]The live-stream was already filled with exmation marks.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was no longer paying attention to what was going on in the live-stream. She looked at the broli in front of her, her expression a little unwilling. She knew that this was nutritious, but she did not like the taste. ¡°Can you change it to braised pork?¡±

    ¡°Good girl.¡± The male voice appeared again with a hint of a smile. ¡°It¡¯s for nutrition. Take a bite.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could only swallow the broli in front of her. She frowned slightly, looking aggrieved.

    [!!! This is Xia Wanyuan??? This is not the Xia Wanyuan I know! ]

    [Yuan Yuan¡¯s aggrieved expression is so cute. So Yuan Yuan is so cute when she¡¯s in love. Boohoo, she¡¯s so cute. I love her so much. I really want to poke Yuan Yuan¡¯s dimples.]

    [Am I the only one who¡¯s attracted by Brother-inw¡¯s ¡°good girl¡±? This tone is like coaxing a child. Oh my god, my girlish heart has already exploded. I¡¯ll drink this dog food first.]

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan noticed thements that had already exploded. She smiled at the camera. ¡°He insisted on livestreaming with me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to dere my sovereignty.¡±

 Chapter 931 - Two People Chat on Broadcast

    <h4>Chapter 931: Two People Chat on Broadcast</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was pleasant to listen to. He said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m here to dere my sovereignty.¡± No woman¡¯s maiden heart could resist him.

    To Xia Wanyuan¡¯s huge number of male fans, this was like sprinkling salt on their wounds after being dismembered.

    [ The hatred of snatching a wife. Men will fight each other at the high-speed rail station. ]

    [There¡¯s no need to dere your sovereignty. We all know that Yuan Yuan is yours!! This dog food is simply too much for me.]

    [This voice, to a person who is attracted to voices like me, my mind automatically filled his face with that of a domineering CEO. Alright, I have the material for my dream tonight.]

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan went to the study. As she drew for the audience, she chatted with them.

    ¡°If it¡¯s fruits, I prefer to eat watermelons¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan answered the questions on the screen as she took a brush and smeared it on the paper. ¡°Put your brush down here¡­ and dilute it here¡­¡±

    As they chatted, a magnificentndscape painting had already appeared under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pen.

    On the paper, as Xia Wanyuan unfolded the snow-covered mountains and rivers, the high waterfall was still flowing smoothly in the snow. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brush strokes were extremely delicate. In the water, one could vaguely see ice mixed in, and the cold air assaulted their faces.

    [ Guru, I beg you not to draw so freely. This will make me feel that I can do it too. ]

    [This color, this brushstroke, I can¡¯t catch up even if I cultivate for eight lifetimes. Big shot, ept my bow.]

    Seeing that everyone liked this painting, Xia Wanyuan put down her pen. ¡°In a while, I¡¯ll randomly pick a person and give this painting to him.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words instantly caused a new wave ofments.

    ¡°Have a ss of milk.¡± Jun Shiling walked over and handed the ss to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan finished the ss in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. Jun Shiling reached out and wiped the milk stain from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°The milk today is not sweet.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not realize that when she spoke to Jun Shiling, her tone was always a little coquettish.

    ¡°The food at night is sweet. You¡¯ve eaten enough sugar today.¡± Jun Shiling touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯ll add honey for you tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very easy to coax. A ss of milk with honey would do.

    ¡°Sit on the sofa and chat with them. I¡¯ll massage your shoulders.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s massage technique was already very good.

    Xia Wanyuan allowed Jun Shiling to pull her to the sofa.

    In the camera, Xia Wanyuan was leaning on the sofa. A well-defined pair of hands was massaging Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders. Xia Wanyuan randomly picked some questions and chatted with her fans.

    [I want to know how Yuan Yuan and Brother-inw got together.]

    Xia Wanyuan recalled that her first meeting with Jun Shiling should be that night. Xia Wanyuan smiled and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°How did you fall for me?¡±

    ¡°Love at first sight,¡± Jun Shiling said.

    He nced under the light and was stunned.

    ¡°Then I should have developed feelings for him over time.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes shone. ¡°He treats me very well and understands me very well.¡±

    In their long time together, she and Jun Shiling bonded with their souls. This man had made up for everything that she hadcked in her previous life with all his love.

    [This smile, I¡¯m dead. Is there something that Brother-inw did that touched you?]

    ¡°Are you touched? Does 100% security count?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Before he works and after works, he will tell me everything. Even if there are some things I don¡¯t understand, he will tell me what he does every day. Other than work, all his time belongs to me.¡±

    [!!! The smile on Yuan Yuan¡¯s face¡­ Ah, I¡¯m dead. One look and you know that she¡¯s especially happy. The woman nourished by love looks like she¡¯s glowing. ]

    [Other than work, all the time belongs to her. I¡¯m crying from jealousy. What immortal love? No woman can resist such love.]

    [ It must be special love that makes Xia Wanyuan feel 100% safe. So there are really men who can do this. ]

    This was the first time Jun Shiling had heard Xia Wanyuan say this. As he listened to Xia Wanyuan tell her fans about everything that had happened since they got along, he sighed with emotion.?<i>So Xia Wanyuan remembered so many details and kept them in her heart.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan and her fans chatted about many other topics. She looked at the time. It had been two hours since the live-stream started. ¡°Today¡¯s live-stream is over. Goodnight, everyone.¡±

    Seeing that the fans were reluctant to part, and some wanted to hear their brother-inw speak, Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling. ¡°Say goodnight to them too.¡±

    ¡°No, I only talk to you.¡± Jun Shiling rejected decisively.

    [?? Brother-inw is too much.]

    [ Cold dog food is stuffed into my mouth. I¡¯ve never wanted to find a boyfriend like today. He¡¯s so handsome and loves her so much that he can give her a 100% sense of security and only say goodnight to her. ]

    [You in front, wash up and sleep. There¡¯s no such man even in your dream.]

    Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. ¡°Alright, bye, everyone.¡± Then, she turned off the live-stream, leaving behind a screen full of crying emojis.

 Chapter 932 - Doting on the Little Princess

    <h4>Chapter 932: Doting on the Little Princess</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had just turned off her phone when Jun Shiling hugged her from behind. ¡°So you know that I was jealous because of the tea leaves.¡±

    At that time, because of the tea leaves Xuan Sheng had given him, Jun Shiling had lived for 25 years and that was the first time he had unted his wealth in front of others.

    Recalling Jun Shiling¡¯s expression when he pointed at the tea house and told Xia Wanyuan, ¡°I¡¯m the richest man in the world. This tea house belongs to me.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know at that time. Later on, I remembered that you were probably jealous.¡± Otherwise, with Jun Shiling¡¯s low profile, he wouldn¡¯t have unted his wealth so obviously.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Does our little princess want to sleep?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and let Jun Shiling carry her to rest.

    On the trending list, other than the Qing University¡¯s support for Xia Wanyuan, the situation of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast quickly entered the trending list.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Live Broadcast¡±, ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Boyfriend¡±, ¡°Good girl¡±, ¡°Hand¡±, ¡°Voice¡±, ¡°Publicity¡±, and a series of rted topics quickly attracted a lot of attention.

    [Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity¡­ There¡¯s no one else on the trending list.]

    [Xia Wanyuan makes me think of a word: ¡°group favor¡±. I feel that her life is filled with boyfriend favor, colleague favor, student favor, and fan favor.]

    [I¡¯m not interested in anything else. I just hope that she can pick me for the lucky draw.]

    Although Xia Wanyuan had resigned from her position as a professor in the literature department, the art department still needed her to attend sses. After resting for a day, she needed to rehearse for the Spring Festival G and the New Year G.

    New Year¡¯s Day was approaching, and all the major institutions had organized New Year¡¯s activities.

    As the favorite of the group, Xia Wanyuan was naturally invited by various units.

    In addition to the Guqin Association, the National Go Team, the China Painting and Calligraphy Association, Qing University, the Xiafeng Group, Star Creation Entertainment, and a lot of award ceremonies,

    Xia Wanyuan had thought that the ancient New Year was already very busy. She did not expect thatpared to the modern world, it was still far inferior.

    Xia Wanyuan was preparing to attend the annual music award ceremony when she suddenly received a call from An Rao.

    An Rao was being mysterious over there, as if she was an underground party. ¡°Sister, I need you. Do you know any reliable doctors?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you not feeling well?¡± Xia Wanyuan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. After all, the night before, An Rao had sent Xia Wanyuan her dinner.

    A woman who could eat so much meat did not seem to be unwell.

    ¡°Um.¡± An Rao seemed to be in a difficult position to speak. ¡°It¡¯s the gynecology type. Boohoo, sister, help me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not think much of it and drove to pick An Rao up.

    On the way there, Jun Shiling had already gotten someone to contact Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu was already waiting for Xia Wanyuan at the hospital entrance.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun,¡± Shen Xiu greeted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Doctor Shen.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Shen Xiu. ¡°Please examine my friend.¡±

    ¡°Okay,e here.¡± Shen Xiu received a high consultation fee from the Jun family every year. He had no objections to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request.

    An Rao followed Shen Xiu and left. Xia Wanyuan waited alone in the car.

    Half an hourter, An Rao walked out of the hospital with a medical report in her hand. She looked a little confused.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.

    ¡°Bo Xiao is a bastard.¡±

 Chapter 933 - Dolly

    <h4>Chapter 933: Dolly</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao¡¯s expression and then at the report in her hand. ¡°You¡¯re pregnant?¡±

    An Rao suddenly reacted and got into the car with a tearful expression. She did not expect it to be so urate. She was not prepared at all.

    An Rao ced her hand on her t stomach and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, can you believe that there¡¯s a small life here?¡±

    ¡°Are you going to keep him?¡±

    An Rao was stunned for a moment, although she felt that it was very sudden. After all, it was still a child. Although she could no longer wear beautiful clothes with a baby, although she had to avoid all kinds of food when she was pregnant,

    she had never thought of not wanting him. This was the fruit of her and Bo Xiao¡¯s love. ¡°Of course I have to keep it. You have to be his godmother.¡±

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to our house tonight to celebrate.¡± Xia Wanyuan was also looking forward to this little life.

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nodded happily and carefully touched her stomach. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s a boy or a girl?¡±

    ¡°Do you want it to be a boy or a girl?¡± Xia Wanyuan spoke to An Rao as she drove.

    ¡°I hope it¡¯s twins. Haha, I¡¯ll be satisfied like that.¡± An Rao thought happily.

    Back at the manor, Xia Wanyuan spoke to An Rao and reminded Uncle Wang not to use anything that was taboo for pregnant women for dinner.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had already entered the house, but Uncle Wang was still stunned.

    <i>Taboo for pregnant women?!! Could it be that the manor was about to wee a young master or princess??</i>

    While Uncle Wang was still stunned, Jun Shiling¡¯s car arrived at the courtyard. Seeing Uncle Wang¡¯s excited expression, Jun Shiling could not help but ask, ¡°Uncle Wang, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes lit up and his old face was filled with an excited smile. ¡°Madam just instructed me not to have anything forbidden for pregnant women for dinner. Young Master?¡±

    After Uncle Wang finished speaking, Jun Shiling did not react and just stood rooted to the ground. Uncle Wang could not help but call out a few times.

    Jun Shiling seemed to have just reacted and said calmly, ¡°Got it.¡± Then, he walked into the main building.

    Seeing how calm Jun Shiling was, Uncle Wang sighed in his heart.<i>?As expected of the young master, his mind was much more mature than others.</i>

    However, Uncle Wang did not see Jun Shiling walking faster and faster with a smile on his face.

    Xia Wanyuan was talking to An Rao when she sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s footsteps. Just as she looked up, she realized that Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were shockingly bright as he walked towards her, as if he was extremely happy.

    At this moment, An Rao said, ¡°Sister, give my baby a name. You¡¯re cultured.¡±

    ¡°I think you should let Bo Xiao name him,¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and replied.

    Jun Shiling had already walked up to her. When he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, he stopped in his tracks. His gazended on An Rao beside him, and a trace of disappointment shed across his face. Then, his expression returned to normal as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You guys chat first. I¡¯ll go up and work overtime for a while. I¡¯lle downter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, and Jun Shiling walked away. Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel a hint of loneliness from his back.

    ¡°Hmph, Bo Xiao hasn¡¯t contacted me in a long time.¡± Speaking of Bo Xiao, An Rao¡¯s face was filled with longing and anger. ¡°Who wants him to give the child a name? He doesn¡¯t have much culture in his stomach. What if the name he gives is not nice?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the duplicitous An Rao. ¡°Don¡¯t pretend. You actually miss him very much.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan resentfully.<i>?Sister is too smart. I could not lie even if I wanted to.</i>

    At dinner, when he heard that An Rao was pregnant, Xiao Bao was overjoyed. If not for Jun Shiling¡¯s presence, he would have jumped into the sky.

    Xiao Bao jumped a few times happily before carefully approaching An Rao. ¡°Auntie An Rao, can I touch my sister?¡±

    An Rao smiled and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. She pulled his hand and ced it on her stomach. ¡°How do you know it¡¯s a sister?¡±

    ¡°It must be a sister.¡± Xiao Bao looked at An Rao¡¯s stomach curiously. ¡°It must be a beautiful and cute little fairy.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent words amused An Rao. ¡°Then will you like this sister?¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened. He clenched his little ws and expressed his loyalty to An Rao. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely treat her especially well. I¡¯ll bring her to eat and y. When she grows up, I¡¯ll marry her!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was originally drinking water, but when she heard Xiao Bao¡¯s ambition, she choked. She did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Do you know what it means to marry her?¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s clear eyes were filled with tears. ¡°I know. I¡¯ll treat her as well as Daddy treats Mommy. I¡¯ll treat Little Sister so well in the future.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan choked for once. In the end, she patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Good boy, then you have to take good care of Auntie An Rao. Don¡¯t bump into Auntie¡¯s stomach.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently.<i>?That is my future wife. I would definitely take good care of her.?</i>

    If people could go back in time, Xiao Bao would definitely travel back to the present more than ten yearster. He would tell himself bitterly that he should not have any expectations for the demon king in An Rao¡¯s stomach.

    However, one could not time travel. The current Xiao Bao was staring innocently at An Rao¡¯s stomach, looking forward to the arrival of the beautiful little sister.

    After dinner, it was alreadyte. Xia Wanyuan simply got someone to arrange a room for An Rao. She chatted with An Rao for a long time before returning to the bedroom.

    On the sofa, Jun Shiling was reading. Xia Wanyuan walked over and leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°CEO Jun, are you a little unhappy today?¡±

 Chapter 934 - Anti to Fan, Reversal to Chase After Fan

    <h4>Chapter 934: Anti to Fan, Reversal to Chase After Fan</h4>

    Jun Shiling put the book aside and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, making her sit beside him. ¡°When I first came back, I thought you were pregnant.¡±

    ¡°How could that be? Haven¡¯t we always taken precautions?¡± After all, she had many things to do and had no intention of having a child yet. Although Jun Shiling wanted it very much, Jun Shilingpletely followed her wishes.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied gloomily, looking unhappy.

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°When there¡¯s not so much to do, let¡¯s have another one, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling silently pulled her into his arms. ¡°I want another daughter and that¡¯s it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and smiled. ¡°What if it¡¯s a son?¡±

    ¡°Throw it away.¡± Jun Shiling did not hesitate.

    One son was already bad enough. If another one came, he only wanted to throw it away.

    ¡°Then throw me away too.¡± Knowing that Jun Shiling was angry, Xia Wanyuan teased him in amusement.

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and stopped talking.

    When Xia Wanyuan and An Rao went to the hospital, they did not avoid anyone, so many people saw them.

    Soon, there were photos of An Rao appearing in front of the gynecology department on the Inte. There were countless guesses about ¡°An Rao is pregnant¡±.

    [Is the news true? Didn¡¯t An Rao and Bo Xiao not even hold a wedding?]

    [ Can¡¯t they have a child without a wedding? They¡¯ve already registered their marriage. Isn¡¯t there a license to drive? If she¡¯s really pregnant, that¡¯s a happy thing. ]

    The next morning, An Rao posted a post and admitted to the news.

    @ An Rao: ¡°Thank you for your concern. @ Xia Wanyuan, Yuan Yuan is going to be a godmother!¡±

    Logically speaking, it should have been an extremely controversial matter for a popr female celebrity to get pregnant and have a child. However, Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s love had already be a legend online. An Rao had always been a maverick in the past.

    The public gave her their blessings for announcing her pregnancy.

    [Haha, Bo Xiao is a little miserable. His wife announced that she was pregnant, but she didn¡¯t mention him on Weibo.]

    [Indeed, sisters are true love. Hubby is just a tool. Yuan Yuan, you have to work harder. Look, your little sister even has a child.]

    In the Shen family, Shen Xiu had just opened the door after a night of surgery when he saw his cheap sister looking at him with starry eyes.

    ¡°What? I don¡¯t have money to give you.¡± Shen Xiu, who knew his sister¡¯s personality well, knew that Shen Xing must have something to ask of him.

    ¡°Brother, look at what you¡¯re saying. Am I that kind of person?¡± Shen Xing said coyly.

    ¡°You are.¡± Shen Xiu exposed her mercilessly.

    ¡°¡­¡± Shen Xing stepped forward and held Shen Xiu¡¯s arm. ¡°Brother, let me ask you something. Are Xia Wanyuan and An Rao being treated at your ce?¡±

    ¡°Why are you asking this?¡± Shen Xiu frowned at Shen Xing.

    ¡°If they go again next time, help me get an autograph from Xia Wanyuan,¡± Shen Xing said as she handed her favorite doll to Shen Xiu. ¡°Here, just sign this.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Shen Xiu looked at his sister speechlessly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say half a year ago that you hated her the most? Didn¡¯t you say that Xia Wanyuan had stic surgery on her face and that you couldn¡¯t eat when she saw Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Shen Xing stuffed the doll into Shen Xiu¡¯s arms. ¡°You don¡¯t understand. She¡¯s my idol now. I¡¯m a fan of her and Yan Ci. If she and Yan Ci can be a couple, I¡¯ll immediately set off fireworks for them for a day. Of course, if you have the ability to woo Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯ll be your follower every day. I promise to study hard and never chase after celebrities again.¡±

    Shen Xiu:?<i>Hehe, you probably want me to die.</i>

 Chapter 935 - Music Festival

    <h4>Chapter 935: Music Festival</h4>

    As a qualified private doctor, Shen Xiu kept his employer¡¯s privacypletely secret. He had never revealed the rtionship between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling to anyone.

    ¡°To be honest, Brother, I think you¡¯re quite good-looking and your ie is passable.¡± Shen Xing seemed to be getting more and more enthusiastic as she spoke. She looked at Shen Xiu in disdain. ¡°If Xia Wanyuan breaks up with her boyfriend, quickly woo her. Dad and Mom will be overjoyed to have such a sister-inw.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Shen Xiu took out a stack of hundred-dor bills and threw them into Shen Xing¡¯s arms. ¡°Take the money and spend it. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±

    Reality proved that Shen Xing was not the only sister in China who had such thoughts.

    Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s existence, the security personnel of Qing University had increased significantly.

    Too many outsiders, especially single young men, wanted to visit Xia Wanyuan in the name of ss. All the teachers who taught at Qing University could not escape the fate of being asked by their rtives if they could help introduce them to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had resigned as a professor in the literature department, but the art department¡¯s sses were still there. Her sses were not limited to a certain subject. There was literature in the painting ss, and there was art in literature.

    Now, not only did the number of people attending her sses not decrease, but it also increased. The school could only constantly expand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ssroom. In the end, they could only arrange for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses to be in the auditorium to barely amodate the students who came to listen.

    The students of Qing University posted the video of Xia Wanyuan in ss online. There were people everywhere. The auditorium was extremely spacious. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was transmitted to every corner of the auditorium through the eight loudspeakers.

    ¡°Let me show you how popr Professor Xia is. This number of people is amazing. Many of them are sitting on the ground and listening to the lecture.¡±

    [ Oh my god, I hate my poor results. Otherwise, I would also want to hear what kind of ss it is to make the students like it so much. ]

    [So those people boycotted Xia Wanyuan because they were jealous that Xia Wanyuan upied a position that they could not reach. I looked at the list of those people and there was no major academic achievement.]

    [Let me say this anonymously. My teacher is among those who boycotted Xia Wanyuan. No one listens to him in ss usually. He¡¯s extremely bored and looks down on this and that every day.]

    Xia Wanyuan had resigned. The teachers¡¯ boycott seemed to have calmed down a lot, butints from the parents flooded in.

    The leaders and teachers of the Qing University could not stand up and fight with their superiors. The students and parents could not care less. They exploded their phones and filled their mailboxes.

    ¡°If Professor Xia doesn¡¯te back, my child won¡¯t be able to learn. If anything happens to my child, it¡¯ll be your fault.¡±

    The leaders had worked in the education system for so many years, but they had never encountered such a scene. The Bureau secretly held a meeting and sent more than ten people in disguise to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss.

    After listening to the lesson, the department leader was satisfied with the statistics.

    Ten people: Full marks from all of them.

    The department leader thought to himself that this was really strange. The leaders of all statuses went to listen again. When they returned, they were all frowning.

    <i>It seemed like I had really done something wrong this time. What should I do??</i>

    The leaders were worried about what remedial measures to take to invite Xia Wanyuan back, while Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were in a deadlock in the cloakroom.

    ¡°Have you forgotten how cold you werest time?¡± Jun Shiling looked disapprovingly at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strapless gown.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll bring the coat in. At most, I¡¯ll take it off when I go on stage to receive the award. It¡¯ll only be for a short while. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    With just an album, Xia Wanyuan had swept through all the major music charts domestically and abroad. Xia Wanyuan was undoubtedly the protagonist of this year¡¯s Music Awards.

    She definitely needed a gown to attend the award ceremony.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan insisted, Jun Shiling did not say anything else. In the end, he instructed the servants to prepare more heat packs for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I have a dinner appointment tonight.¡± Jun Shiling went forward to help Xia Wanyuan zip up her back. ¡°Tell me when you¡¯re done with the ceremony. I¡¯ll pick you up.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling took the down jacket from the side and put it on Xia Wanyuan. Only then was he slightly satisfied.

    The annual music award gathered all the famous musicians both domestically and abroad. Xia Wanyuan was undoubtedly a neer. After all, she had only released her first album this year.

    However, there was no doubt that she was also the most eye-catching neer this year. Her album swept across the rankings with an absolute advantage and became the most dazzling new star in recent years.

    Not only were the media reporters andizens looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, but even the guests at the ceremony wanted to see for themselves what kind of background this legendary young woman had.

    In the live-stream, tens of millions of viewers were already waiting online. After an unknown period of time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car finally slowly appeared in sight.

    Chen Yun got out of the car and thements section was filled with ¡°High energy ahead!!¡± ¡°The goddess is going to kill with her beauty again!¡±

    Everyone could not wait for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red carpet appearance.

    However, in the next second, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a huge furry hat and a white down jacket from head to toe, got out of the car.

 Chapter 936 - The Peak of Power

    <h4>Chapter 936: The Peak of Power</h4>

    When Xia Wanyuan went out, she had already tidied up her makeup. Seeing that her neck was exposed, Jun Shiling forced her to wear the down jacket and hat and surrounded her tightly. Xia Wanyuan was helpless, but she followed Jun Shiling.

    Only when Chen Yun weed Xia Wanyuan out of the car and apanied her to the red carpet did everyone believe that this woman wrapped up like a bear was Xia Wanyuan, whom they had been looking forward to for a long time.

    Considering that the temperature of winter was already below zero, the red carpet of the music festival was only about fifty meters long.

    Xia Wanyuan stood in front of the red carpet and unzipped her down jacket, revealing the ck diamond embroidered evening gown inside. The design of her body revealed her elegant figure, making it impossible to lower one¡¯s gaze when itnded on her.

    Just as everyone was marveling, in the blink of an eye, Xia Wanyuan crossed the red carpet, put on her tightly wrapped down jacket again, and disappeared from the camera.

    [¡­ Can¡¯t you let us take a few more nces? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s walking speed is amazing.]

    [ I can tell that she¡¯s very afraid of the cold, haha. Even if a beauty wears a big down jacket, I can tell how thin her waist is. I look at my waist. Forget it, I¡¯m crying bitterly. ]

    As the reporters stirred, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face appeared on the big screen. The guests in the venue looked in the direction of the entrance.

    A walking down jacket sat on the seat by the side under everyone¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Who is that? So many people are paying attention.¡± In the first row of the venue, a famous young singer, Liu Xu, looked curiously in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direction.

    That Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s been in the limelight recently. She¡¯s in the entertainment industry and even used the name of retro when she released an album. I¡¯ve heard her song before. It¡¯s average.¡±

    ¡°Oh, doesn¡¯t such a neer suddenly rise every year? The real amazing person is still our Miss Wei Qing.¡± Hearing others¡¯ exnation of Xia Wanyuan, Liu Xu scoffed and turned to look at the woman sitting at the side ingratiatingly.

    Wei Qing did not care about Liu Xu¡¯s ttery. She looked in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direction. Coincidentally, Xia Wanyuan raised her head and her icy eyes met Wei Qing¡¯s.

    <i>She¡¯s quite good-looking,?</i>Wei Qing thought to herself.?<i>No wonder Old Madam Wei likes her.?</i>

    After taking a look, Wei Qing retracted her gaze.

    After everyone was seated, the music festival gradually began.

    The annual music festival was not limited to the musicpetition in the entertainment industry. This was a grand asion that gathered tradition and modernity. The ceremony specially invited the national first-ss singer, Zhou Li, and the representative of the domestic pop music industry, Zheng Guang, to open the ceremony. The famous host of the national television station presided over the ceremony.

    The works of the award-winning guests were disyed on the big screen. They were either dynamic or beautiful music that echoed in the hall.

    Every guest who went on stage to receive an award had a long speech. When they were excited, their eyes would be filled with tears.

    Listening to the guests¡¯ cries, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s only feeling was that it was cold. The air conditioner in the venue was turned on, but for such a huge venue, it was the same whether the air conditioner was turned on or not.

    She tucked her hands in her sleeves. As she listened to the works of the award-winning guest, she thought of Jun Shiling. After all, Jun Shiling was really warm.

    Xia Wanyuan took her phone out of her pocket and sent Jun Shiling a cat dazed expression.

    Jun Shiling, who was talking to someone in the banquet hall, heard the message. He took out his phone and his expression softened. He replied to Xia Wanyuan before looking at the person in front of him. ¡°Elder Yang, continue.¡±

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to be such a good family man, Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Old Master Yang, you must be joking.¡± Jun Shiling took a ss of wine and clinked sses with Old Master Yang. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you didn¡¯t invite so many people today just to celebrate your birthday.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, you¡¯re still so smart.¡± Old Master Yang sighed. ¡°As long as the many juniors of our Yang family can have half of your ability, I won¡¯t still worry at such an old age.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not answer Old Yang. The capital had not been peaceful for the past two years. Old Yang had invited him over today with a clear goal. He was probably going to choose a team. However, he did not intend to ept Old Yang¡¯s goodwill.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore.¡± Old Master Yang quickly concealed the dejected look on his face and made an inviting gesture at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯ve prepared a table of food in the house. CEO Jun, please give me face.¡±

    ¡°Please.¡±

    Inside the house, exquisite food was piled up on the huge dining table. There were a few people sitting at the table. There were rising stars in the domestic political scene and giants who could stir up the business world. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, everyone immediately smiled and walked over. They extended their hands to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling ignored their outstretched hands and stood still. His eyes were deep and there was no emotion on his face.

    ¡°Shiling, we¡¯re all in Beijing. We¡¯re just making friends.¡± Old Master Yang chuckled and came out to smooth things over.

    ¡°Friend?¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His fierce aura instantly pressed down on Old Master Yang. ¡°Is Old Master Yang holding a treacherous banquet today?¡±

    ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying, Shiling.¡± Old Master Yang chuckled. He wanted to continue, but he was interrupted by Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Old Master Yang, you just want to tell me today that either the Jun family and the Yang family cooperate, or the Yang family will go against the Jun family.¡± Jun Shiling slowly revealed Old Master Yang¡¯s thoughts.

    ¡°CEO Jun, what are you saying?¡± With every word Jun Shiling said, Elder Yang¡¯s expression turned uglier. In the end, the smile on Elder Yang¡¯s face could no longer be maintained, and the faces of the people standing at the side were even more colorful.

    Jun Shiling looked down at everyone. His powerful aura suppressed them until they could not breathe. He loosened the buttons on his sleeves and his cold face had a domineering look.

    ¡°Then I might as well tell you that the Yang family doesn¡¯t have to dream of cooperating with the Jun family. As for your alliance, you can try and see if you can touch my Jun family at all.¡±

    After saying this, before anyone could respond, Jun Shiling turned to leave.

    ¡°Elder Yang, Jun Shiling is still a little young. Does he really think that the Jun Corporation is invincible just because it has a little money?¡± Seeing Jun Shiling leave, everyone¡¯s expressions changed.

    Those who could walk into this room were all influential figures outside. Everyone was a little unconvinced by Jun Shiling¡¯s obvious humiliation toward them.

    ¡°Elder Yang, the Jiang family has been restless recently. In terms of strength, the Jiang family is not much weaker than the Jun family. If we work together to pull the Jun family down, this will be a huge piece of fat meat.¡±

    In the entire China, who did not value the profitability of the Jun Corporation? It was a huge mountain of gold.

    No one from the Yang family dared to stop Jun Shiling as he walked out. Not long after the chauffeur drove Jun Shiling out of the Yang family, the car suddenly shook. The chauffeur had hit someone.

 Chapter 937 - The Princess Collected Six Grand Awards

    <h4>Chapter 937: The Princess Collected Six Grand Awards</h4>

    They were at the corner of an intersection. The streetlights were a little dark, and the driver only saw a figure. Before he could react, he bumped into her. He hurriedly got out of the car to check.

    ¡°Young Master, I bumped into ady.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned and looked out of the car window.

    The streetmp was hazy, and a beautiful woman was sitting on the ground, covering her leg with her hand.

    She looked up when she heard themotion. Her eyebrows were slender and her almond-shaped eyes were clear. The moment she saw Jun Shiling, there was obvious surprise in her eyes. Then, she quickly lowered her head and looked as shy as a peach in the spring breeze.

    ¡°Call an ambnce.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just scratched myself.¡± The woman¡¯s voice was especially clear in the night. ¡°There¡¯s no need to call an ambnce. If you¡¯re not busy, just send me to bandage it.¡±

    The chauffeur had also finished his call. ¡°Young Master, the hospital said they would send a car over immediately, but there¡¯s some traffic on the way. It might take a while.¡±

    On a winter night, the water on the road had turned into hard ice. The woman sat on the ground holding her leg, looking pitiful. The driver could not bear to see her like this.

    The next second, the car door opened and Jun Shiling walked out. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± The woman looked up at Jun Shiling, her almond-shaped eyes filled with the innocence of a young girl.

    Jun Shiling took a few steps forward and saw that there was blood seeping out of the woman¡¯s leg. He turned to look at the driver. ¡°Take her to the hospital.¡±

    ¡°Ah? Then Young Master?¡±

    ¡°Go.¡± Jun Shiling waved his hand, and the chauffeur stepped forward to help the girl up carefully. The ground was slippery, and the chauffeur did not hold her steady. The woman cried out in surprise and fell to the ground. She subconsciously looked at Jun Shiling.

    However, Jun Shiling did not react to her fall and walked forward.

    After finally helping the little girl into the car, the driver started the car and drove forward. He saw Jun Shiling sitting in another car.

    The girl looked out of the car window. Jun Shiling¡¯s cold and noble figure was like a silhouette in the night.

    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m really sorry to trouble you sote at night.¡±

    ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. If I hadn¡¯t been driving and didn¡¯t pay attention, I wouldn¡¯t have bumped into you. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± The driver didn¡¯t have any intention of chatting with the girl and quietened down after replying.

    The girl did not talk to him anymore. The chauffeur safely sent her to the hospital for a checkup to bandage her wound.

    Jun Shiling had just gotten into Lin Jing¡¯s car when he turned on the live broadcast of the music award ceremony.

    Just as he clicked into the live-stream, he was hit in the face by the screen full of ¡°high energy ahead¡±.

    The host was standing on stage and introducing the next award to the audience.

    ¡°This summer, an album appeared out of nowhere and a neer rose to power. This album directly broke the record for the sales of albums in China¡¯s history. It has already be the highest-selling album in China¡¯s history yesterday. Fans, tell me loudly, what is the name of this album?¡±

    The word ¡°Wan Yi¡± resounded throughout the venue. The cheers from the fan area seemed to want to tear the roof off the entire venue.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s ¡®Wan Yi¡¯. Let us wee the creator and singer of the album, Xia Wanyuan, on stage!¡±

    The heart-shaking music sounded. Dozens of cameras in the venue were all focused on Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan, who had already taken off her down jacket, stood up amidst the cheers of the crowd and walked elegantly and confidently onto the stage.

    When Xia Wanyuan stood in the middle of the stage, the host began to read out the award she had won.

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Gold Award for her album of the year!¡±

    The person who gave Xia Wanyuan the award was the national first-ss singer, Zhou Li. The olddy had silver hair but was hale and hearty. She gave Xia Wanyuan the award with great approval.

    ¡°Congrattions to our Wanyuan for winning the Gold Award for Album of the Year. Do you have anything to say at this exciting moment?¡± The host asked the guest for his eptance speech as usual.

    Xia Wanyuan held the trophy. Although she was extremely afraid of the cold, it was impossible to tell in the camera. One could only see her elegance and confidence.

    ¡°I¡¯m d everyone likes my song.¡±

    The host waited with a smile, but after waiting for a few seconds, he did not hear anything else. The host was a little stunned and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Is that all?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°¡­¡± The host reacted quickly. ¡°Looks like our Wanyuan has put everything she wants to say in the music. There¡¯s no need to say anything else. I look forward to Wanyuan bringing us more and better works.¡±

    Countless ribbons and petals fell from the sky. Amidst the flowers, Xia Wanyuan returned to her seat.

    However, before the chair could warm up, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name resounded through the venue again.

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Neer of the Year Award!!¡±

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Favorite Singer of the Year Award!¡±

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Best Golden Melody Award for ¡®Summer Wind¡¯!¡±

    Towards the end, the host did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Wanyuan, why don¡¯t you stand on stage and wait? Anyway, you¡¯re still the next one.¡±

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eptance speech was simplified to ¡°Thank you¡±.

    Thements were all stunned by this scene of winning awards.

    [ Sugoi, to be honest, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s album is indeed quite good. ]

    [Xia Wanyuan is the biggest winner this year, right? It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that she¡¯s the daughter of a music festival winner.]

    [There¡¯s nothing bad about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs. She does sing well. My eighty-year-old grandmother and fifteen-year-old brother like her songs. The music industry has been weak all these years. It¡¯s not easy to have such a good seedling.]

    After Xia Wanyuan, there were no other significant awards. The award ceremony gradually came to an end.

    Music was already ying in the venue. Chen Yun walked over. ¡°Wanyuan, you have a lot of medals. Let me help you get them.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan silently took out a folded supermarket shopping bag from her pocket and ced the six trophies inside. Then, she looked at Chen Yun. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I can carry them myself.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Chen Yun looked at the stic bag with the words ¡°Mome Supermarket¡± printed on it and fell silent.

    Xia Wanyuan was undoubtedly the highlight of the night. Many media reporters were waiting to interview her, but they did not see her after waiting for a long time.

    ¡°Are you waiting for Xia Wanyuan? Hasn¡¯t she already left?¡± An artiste passed by the reporters and kindly reminded them.

    <i>Ah??</i>The reporters followed the direction pointed by the artiste.

    Not far away, a person in an ankle-length down jacket was carrying a supermarket stic bag. From the mouth of the bag, one could vaguely see a shiny trophy.

    ¡°¡­¡± The reporters were collectively speechless.

    Xia Wanyuan walked out the door, but she did not see the familiar Phantom. She looked around and a ck car stopped in front of her. The door opened and a hand reached out. Xia Wanyuan took a look and got into the car.

    ¡°Why did you change cars?¡± Xia Wanyuan stuffed a bag of trophies into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Someone else sat in that car. I don¡¯t want it anymore.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 938: Surprise Late-night Call</h4>

    ¡°Mm? Who¡¯s been on it?¡± The moment Xia Wanyuan got into the car, she unzipped her down jacket and opened her arms to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling cooperatively unbuttoned his suit jacket and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    ¡°You¡¯re still the warmest. I froze to death sitting in that hall.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s warmth quickly spread to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body. Her limbs quickly warmed up. ¡°Who sat there? A woman?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I came out of the Yang family and bumped into someone. Her injuries looked quite serious, so I asked the chauffeur to send her to the hospital.¡± Jun Shiling told Xia Wanyuan what had happened not long ago.

    ¡°Is the youngdy good-looking?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s focus was very far away.

    ¡°Are you going to mess with me again?¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter helplessly. ¡°You¡¯re the best-looking. You were very beautiful just now.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not fooling around with you.¡± A small dimple appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Am I such an unreasonable person?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and rubbed against Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re the unreasonable one.¡±

    Jun Shiling pressed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist closer. ¡°Good girl. Madam, congrattions for winning six awards. What reward do you want?¡±

    ¡°I want to think about it.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    At that moment, Weibo was once again upied by Xia Wanyuan. Other than ¡°Xia Wanyuan crazily won six awards¡±, the thing that received the most attention fromizens was ¡°the stic bag trophy¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing an ankle-length down jacket and holding a stic bag filled with trophies in one hand. This photo had been made into countless emoticons by fans.

    [ Hahahaha, this back view looks funny no matter how I look at it. stic bag: I endured everything I shouldn¡¯t have. ]

    [ There are too many trophies that she has to put them in bags. Amazing. What did Xia Wanyuan eat when she grew up? Can you give me a recipe? I¡¯ll start eating now. Can my child grow up to be like this in the future? ]

    [ For some reason, I feel that the Xia Wanyuan after falling in love is much cuter than before. What¡¯s going on? Does falling in love make one cute? ]

    The trophies that Xia Wanyuan had brought back in a stic bag were specially ced in a room by Jun Shiling.

    Looking at the carefully carved trophy stand in the room, Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. ¡°When did you prepare this room?¡±

    ¡°A long time ago.¡± Jun Shiling ced the trophy properly. ¡°In the future, your trophies will be ced here.¡±

    ¡°How can there be so many trophies?¡±

    ¡°There will be.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was very serious. ¡°You¡¯re the best.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed to be praised so seriously by Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m sleepy.¡±

    ¡°Go and rest.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°What time is the New Year¡¯s G?¡±

    ¡°My program is scheduled for nine.¡± Xia Wanyuan could already guess why Jun Shiling was asking this. ¡°What are you going to do for the New Year¡¯s G?¡±

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t there be no surprise if I told you?¡± Jun Shiling did not n to tell Xia Wanyuan in advance.

    After running around the entire night, Xia Wanyuany on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

    However,te at night, her phone rang urgently. Xia Wanyuan moved uneasily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, her sleepiness not dissipating.

    She pressed the answer button. It was a call from An Rao.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m really sorry to disturb you sote at night, but I suddenly feel especially uneasy. Can you help me ask CEO Jun if he can contact Bo Xiao?¡± An Rao¡¯s voice sounded extremely anxious and a little tearful.

 Chapter 939 - In the Name of God

    <h4>Chapter 939: In the Name of God</h4>

    Ever since An Rao was found to be pregnant, her emotions had been unstable. It had been half a month since shest contacted Bo Xiao.

    At night, An Rao slept very early after eating. Who would have thought that she would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night for no reason? She was flustered. An Rao got up and sat for a long time, but she still could not suppress the anxiety in her heart. Only then did she call Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask him. I¡¯ll call you backter.¡± Hearing An Rao¡¯s cries, Xia Wanyuan woke up.

    Xia Wanyuan had just hung up on An Rao when Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang. The vibration of the phone in the quiet night inexplicably made one¡¯s heart ache.

    Hearing his phone ring, Jun Shiling, who was hugging Xia Wanyuan, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and picked up the phone.

    ¡°Mm, I understand.¡± After a while, Jun Shiling only said these few words before hanging up.

    From Jun Shiling¡¯s instantly darkened expression, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a bad guess. ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Bo Xiao is missing.¡± Jun Shiling frowned. He suddenly lifted the nket and got out of bed with his phone. ¡°I¡¯m going to the study. Wait for me here. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never seen Jun Shiling like this before, making her feel very uneasy.

    Jun Shiling walked straight to the study and turned on hismunicator. After a short connection, themunicator connected.

    ¡°How did Bo Xiao go missing?¡±

    ¡°We found signs of King¡¯s activity in Ye City. ck Alligator from Continent M also appeared in Ye City. Bo went to investigate. During this period, he has been uncontactable. We have been sending people to search for him these few days, but we found Bo¡¯smunication equipment in the Lecki Mountains.¡±

    The signal was good and weak at times, and the voice on the other end came intermittently. ¡°There are traces of wolves passing by themunication device, as well as thin bloodstains. Our preliminary judgment is that he had been sacrificed.¡±

    Towards the end, the other party sounded choked up.

    ¡°Have you found the corpse?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was calm.

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then continue searching.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s calm voice gave his subordinate, who had lost his backbone, a boost.

    ¡°But we¡­¡± The other party was a little hesitant.

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on the keyboard. ¡°Use all your forces to find him, regardless of life or death.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Themunicator was cut off and the room fell silent again. Jun Shiling sat quietly, his eyes changing.

    After some time, Jun Shiling finally stood up and left the study.

    The cold wind howled outside the window. The wind danced in the darkness with the fallen leaves, enjoying itself.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and waited. Jun Shiling walked in and Xia Wanyuan looked at him calmly. ¡°Was he sacrificed?¡±

    ¡°Missing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tightened heart rxed slightly. At least it was not aplete hopeless situation. There was still a trace of hope.

    Jun Shiling lifted the nket and patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to look for him. Rest first.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan got out of bed. ¡°I¡¯m going to look for An Rao.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not stop her. ¡°I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    At three in the morning in Beijing, the entire city fell silent. On the empty street, there was only the sound of the wheels crushing the snow.

    Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan upstairs and stood at the door. ¡°Go in. I¡¯ll pick you up tomorrow morning.¡± Meeting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s worried gaze, Jun Shiling nted a kiss on her forehead. ¡°Be good, don¡¯t worry about me. I want to stay alone for a while too.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan hade sote, An Rao already understood something.

    Xia Wanyuan told An Rao everything that Jun Shiling had told her. ¡°There¡¯s no conclusion yet. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your baby.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, An Rao looked delicate, but her heart was very strong. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll wait for the results with the child. It¡¯s sote. Let¡¯s go and rest.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan apanied An Rao to the bed. Half an hour passed, and soft sobs came from the other side of the bed. Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart, sat up, and patted An Rao¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Boohoo, I know what he did was very dangerous, and I¡¯ve already made many mental preparations, but when it really happens, I still feel so ufortable.¡± An Rao threw herself into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms. ¡°I miss him so much.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯ll be fine.¡± Hearing An Rao¡¯s cries, Xia Wanyuan felt terrible. ¡°What you have to do now is take good care of the baby and wait for Bo Xiao toe back.¡±

    ¡°Will hee back?¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°I miss him so much.¡±

    ¡°He will.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a tissue and wiped the tears off An Rao¡¯s face. ¡°Can you go to sleep now? The baby needs to sleep too.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao nodded and touched her t stomach. No matter what, she had to give birth to this child safely.

    The strong wind that had howled for the entire night finally stopped. The street was filled with fallen leaves that had been swept by the wind and rain. It was a mess.

    After calming An Rao down, Xia Wanyuan finally went downstairs. At the door, Jun Shiling¡¯s car was still parked where it had beenst night.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the ground. There were no signs of the car leaving.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and Jun Shiling handed her a ss of warm water. ¡°I¡¯m going to work. I¡¯ll send you to school.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the cup and went forward to hug Jun Shiling. She patted his backfortingly. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan back and hugged her tighter. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Time would not stop because of anyone or anything. Ordinary people still lived and had ordinary three meals a day, but in ces that ordinary people could not reach, there was a huge shock.

    ¡°As expected.¡± In the coldboratory, Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up when he saw the news sent by his subordinates. ¡°That person is indeed rted.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Zeus himself has disappeared for four years.¡± The subordinate carefully reported.

    ¡°Have you found that person?¡± Yu Qian took off his gloves.

    ¡°Not yet. Our people are also doing their best to find him. As soon as we find him, we¡¯ll send him over immediately.¡±

    ¡°Continue to send more people.¡± Yu Qian walked out of theboratory.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan had suggested that An Rao stay in the manor, but An Rao had rejected her. Xia Wanyuan would visit An Rao every day after ss. Because of Bo Xiao, Jun Shiling¡¯s mood had not been very high recently, even though he had tried his best to hide it.

    As the days approached New Year¡¯s Day, the entire capital was filled with joy. There was already a very obvious festive atmosphere on the streets and alleys.

 Chapter 940 - CEO Jun Appears at the New Yearâ€™s Eve Gala

    <h4>Chapter 940: CEO Jun Appears at the New Year¡¯s Eve G</h4>

    As the days approached New Year¡¯s Day, the entire capital was filled with joy. There was already a very obvious festive atmosphere on the streets and alleys.

    Xia Wanyuan drove past the city center. The fiery red festive decorations outside the window made one¡¯s mood better.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, this is delicious. Try this.¡± An Rao, who was in the front passenger seat, took advantage of the time when they were waiting for the red light to eat the sour plum jerky and handed one to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth to bite it, then frowned. ¡°So sour.¡±

    ¡°Sour?¡± An Rao chewed. ¡°No, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s sour enough.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced helplessly at An Rao¡¯s stomach. ¡°I think Xiao Bao¡¯s hopes of having a younger sister are dashed.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. He¡¯ll have a younger sister in the future.¡± An Rao touched her stomach.

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s guidance, she had thought things through.

    No news was the best news. No matter what the oue was, the most important thing for her now was to give birth to Bo Xiao¡¯s child safely.

    ¡°Is Nanny Li taking good care of you?¡± The light turned green and Xia Wanyuan started the car again.

    An Rao refused toe to the manor to live together. Xia Wanyuan was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to live while pregnant, so she asked Nanny Li to take care of her.

    ¡°Pretty good.¡± An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re so good.¡±

    If Xia Wanyuan was not by her side during this period of time, she did not know what she would do.

    Xia Wanyuan sent An Rao to the entrance of the hospital and handed her to Shen Xiu.

    An Rao¡¯s heck up would take about an hour or two. Xia Wanyuan turned around and prepared to return to the car to wait for her. Just as she went down the stairs, someone bumped into her from somewhere.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± The person who bumped into Xia Wanyuan was a very young woman. Her almond-shaped eyes were bright, and she was very surprised to see Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia? I¡¯m your fan. I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t hurt you, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    Coincidentally, Chen Yun called at this moment. Xia Wanyuan returned to the car.

    ¡°Wanyuan, if you have nothing on in the afternoon,e to Strawberry TV Station. Today is thest rehearsal before the official performance.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go over in the afternoon.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan focused on reading.

    She had been dismissed as a professor at the Qing University¡¯s literature department, but she had promised her students that she would return to that podium.

    Next time, she would make everyone acknowledge her qualifications as a professor.

    An Rao¡¯s condition was very stable. Hearing Xia Wanyuan say that she was going to rehearse in the afternoon, An Rao became interested and followed Xia Wanyuan to the g.

    Thest rehearsal waspletely ording to the specifications of the official performance.

    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re beautiful!¡± An Rao was wrapped up like a dumpling. She sat closest to the stage and watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sparkling performance on stage. An Rao could not help but shout at her and cheer her on.

    ¡°Pfft, where did this country bumpkine from? Why are you shouting?¡± A piercing female voice suddenly sounded from behind An Rao.

    An Rao knew that the ce where Xia Wanyuan was performing was cold. She rummaged through the house and found the military coat Bo Xiao had left behind. Anyway, the most important thing for her now was to protect the baby in her stomach. She had already lost her image.

    From behind, An Rao was wrapped in a military coat and had a furry hat on her head. Under the dim light, she was indeed not as eye-catching as the fashionable hot girls with exposed thighs and shoulders.

    An Rao had never been called a bumpkin in her life. At first, she did not think of herself at all and continued to cheer Xia Wanyuan on.

    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. Good luck? Look at her coat. It¡¯s simr to the one my grandfather wore.¡±

    ¡°My grandfather had one too. My grandfather found it ugly and donated it.¡±

    Only then did An Rao react. She looked around. Other than her, no one else was wearing a military coat.

    An Rao was furious and turned around. ¡°Who are you calling a bumpkin?¡±

    The two youngdies, who were still whispering, stopped talking when they saw An Rao¡¯s stunning face.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had alreadypleted her rehearsal and walked over with the same coat design as An Rao.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan and An Rao leave, the youngdies, who had beenining about them being country bumpkins, looked at each other.

    She suddenly felt that her grandfather was also a fashionable person.

    Not long after, a photo of Xia Wanyuan and An Rao in military coats appeared on the Inte. Through the clues in the photo, the fans suddenly realized that this background looked so simr to the New Year¡¯s Eve rehearsal venue that others had posted.

    Strawberry TV Station, which had been hiding the news for a long time, finally stood up after Xia Wanyuan and An Rao¡¯s coat photos leaked out and announced to the public that Xia Wanyuan would join the New Year G.

    The day before the New Year¡¯s Eve party, this explosive news was suddenly announced. Without a doubt, from that night until the next day, the entire Weibo hot search was dominated by this news. Strawberry TV Station¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve party also attracted a lot of attention.

    This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had participated in a modern New Year¡¯s Eve party. From eight in the morning, Mu Feng had brought a professional team to style Xia Wanyuan until six in the afternoon. Chen Yun drove Xia Wanyuan to the party venue.

    At the door, the audience had formed a long line. The ticket booth was about to open.

    The crowd was dense and noisy. Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a ck car suddenly drove slowly towards the VIP passageway.

    Initially, everyone was just curious to see who could take the VIP passageway. However, when the person in the car walked out, the crowd instantly fell silent. They could vaguely hear the sound of people sucking in cold air.

    Only when the cold figure disappeared into the passageway did the quiet crowd be active again.

    ¡°That¡¯s Jun Shiling, right?! F*ck!! Would a god-like figure like hime to watch the g?!¡±

    ¡°I can already predict how the viewership ratings of Strawberry TV Station will explode tonight. They actually managed to invite Jun Shiling. Strawberry TV Station is really amazing.¡±

    The station leaders were also stunned when they heard the employee¡¯s report. They hurriedly ran out to wee him.

    Backstage, the staff had already begun the final verification. At this critical moment, something happened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dance team.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Chen Yune over, the person-in-charge went forward to wee them. ¡°Have you prepared backup dancers? Your dancers just lost their footing and fell down the stairs. Two of them have already been sent to the hospital.¡±

    An exquisite performance required the singer and dancers to work together countless times. Now, even if the dancers were changed again, it would be useless. Not only would a lousy cooperation not be able to remedy the situation, but it would also make things worse.

 Chapter 941 - What Can Be Solved With Money Is Nothing

    <h4>Chapter 941: What Can Be Solved With Money Is Nothing</h4>

    Chen Yun was furious when he heard the staff¡¯s words. At that time, he had repeatedly asked them if they needed to prepare dancers themselves.. Strawberry TV station imed that it was a secret and did not agree for Star Creation Entertainment to prepare the dancers themselves.

    ¡°It was clearly written in the contract that you were in charge of this.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve also prepared backup actors, but there¡¯s a problem with the backup actors. What should we do? Wait here first. I¡¯ll ask the leader.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the staff hurriedly left.

    At this moment, there were many peopleing and going backstage. No one showed it on their faces, but they were gloating in their hearts.

    The g began at eight o¡¯clock. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was the first. There was only an hour left until the performance. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opening was probably going to be ruined.

    ¡°Serves her right. Look at her usually aloof appearance. She thinks she¡¯s amazing just because she¡¯s a little popr. Is she worthy to do the opening?¡±

    ¡°If Xia Wanyuan can¡¯t start the show, won¡¯t the second person be Lin Jiayin? It¡¯s great to pick up an opening for nothing.¡±

    Others seemed to be discussing softly, but Xia Wanyuan heard every word.

    ¡°Wanyuan, thepany¡¯s backup dance team is already on the way. We can make it.¡± Chen Yun returned tofort Xia Wanyuan after making a few calls.

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at the time.?<i>There was still an hour.?</i>¡°Bring me to the lighting control room.¡±

    Although he did not know what Xia Wanyuan wanted to do, Chen Yun still agreed and led her to the back.

    On the way, Xia Wanyuan called Mu Feng directly. Mu Feng had apanied Xia Wanyuan to the performance today, so he could arrive in five minutes.

    Chen Yun waited outside the control room for three minutes before Xia Wanyuan came out. Behind her, the staff in charge of the lighting control had an excited expression.

    Chen Yun was a little puzzled. ¡°Wanyuan, why are you looking for them?¡±

    ¡°Change the lighting design.¡±

    ¡°Light design? They agreed? No way?¡± Light design for a performance was veryplicated. It required precise calctions and cooperation. There were only fifty minutes left until the opening.?<i>How could they make it in time??</i>

    ¡°I said that after it seeds, everyone would get half a year¡¯s sry as a bonus. They happily agreed.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been in politics for many years and knew how to achieve her goal as soon as possible.

    As long as there were enough benefits and it was not something illegal, it was not difficult for them toplete the design of the lights in 50 minutes.

    ¡°¡­¡± Chen Yun was silent.?<i>What could a rich and smart person like Xia Wanyuan not do??</i>

    At this moment, someone had released news on Weibo that Xia Wanyuan would start the New Year¡¯s Eve g for Strawberry TV.

    [The opening. This card is worthy of the treatment of a top celebrity.]

    [Xia Wanyuan is undoubtedly the biological daughter of Strawberry TV Station. Even the top celebritiesst year did not receive such treatment.]

    [I¡¯m looking forward to what Xia Wanyuan will perform. After all, this woman knows too much and always surprises me.]

    In the venue, the audience, who had already taken their seats, suddenly fell silent. Everyone watched as Jun Shiling sat in the middle of the first row, apanied by a group of leaders and bodyguards.

    The audience in the live-stream was also excited when they saw Jun Shiling.

    [Mommy, a god has descended.]

    [This face, this leg, this aura. Alright, get my venttor. I can¡¯t take it anymore.]

    [Alright, I have the material for my dream tonight. I¡¯ll order Jun Shiling to sleep with me tonight.]

    Due to Jun Shiling¡¯s appearance, the ratings of Strawberry TV Station¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve party had already begun to soar before it even began.

    Jun Shiling had just sat down when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat message came.

    Xia Wanyuan:<i>?Are you here?</i>

    Jun Shiling:?<i>Yes, in the middle of the first row. Is everything going well on your side?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan:?<i>A little cold.</i>

    Jun Shiling smiled. The corners of his lips curled up slightly into a beautiful arc. ¡°<i>If you miss me, just say it.¡±</i>

    Xia Wanyuan sent Jun Shiling an emoticon asking for a hug. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with warmth.

 Chapter 942 - Princess Turning the Tide

    <h4>Chapter 942: Princess Turning the Tide</h4>

    The g had not started yet. Ever since Jun Shiling entered the venue, most of the cameras in the venue had been focused on him.

    At this moment, under the camera, Jun Shiling was dressed in a ck coat. He was noble and cold, but there was a visible gentleness on his face. The light on the stage melted into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, softening his cold arc.

    [This smile¡­ I¡¯ve imagined ten thousand love novels with domineering CEOs.]

    [ I can, I really can. The immersion is too strong. I¡¯m already his little wife. ]

    [So handsome. Boohoo, too handsome. How can I marry a man like Jun Shiling?]

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling chatted for a while. When Mu Feng finished styling her, she prepared to go on stage.

    The ace hosts of Strawberry TV Station were already standing in front of the stage. As the music sounded, the New Year G began.

    As the best provincial television station in the country, every g hosted by Strawberry TV could be said to be extravagant. They invited the most famous guests and invested in the best production.

    At this moment, in the venue, gorgeous lights and colorful screens connected the stage and the audience into one. Outside the semi-open venue, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the cheers of the audience resounded throughout the sky.

    The host outside had already begun interacting with the audience, but the backstage was still in a deadlock.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan? Why don¡¯t I see her?¡± The person-in-charge waited for a long time but did not see Xia Wanyuan. He was extremely anxious.

    ¡°There¡¯s a problem with her backup dance team, and we can¡¯t contact her manager. The show will start soon. Why don¡¯t we let the rest go first?¡± The staff hurriedly exined.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Leader. Anyway, our program list is confidential. The audience doesn¡¯t know what our order is. Why don¡¯t we let the people behind go first? There¡¯s a problem with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dance team, so there¡¯s no way to start.¡±

    The in-charge looked at the time. There were only five minutes left before Xia Wanyuan started. He stomped his feet. ¡°Sigh, why aren¡¯t you asking Lin Jiayin to prepare to go on stage?!¡±

    After such a huge mistake, he could already imagine that he would be punished after the g ended. However, he had no choice but to let the g continue as usual.

    Lin Jiayin did not seem surprised. She was already dressed up and waiting in the waiting area.

    There were still two minutes before the opening. Lin Jiayin took a deep breath and stood behind the scenes, preparing to appear.

    ¡°Okay, prepare to open the curtain in two minutes.¡± The person-in-charge held the walkie-talkie and instructed the staff.

    ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re standing in the wrong position, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind.

    The person in charge turned around and was stunned for three seconds before reacting. ¡°Miss Xia, I couldn¡¯t contact you just now. Your dance team?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no problem. I¡¯m already prepared to go on stage,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she walked forward and stood in front of Lin Jiayin. ¡°Miss Lin, please make way.¡±

    If they had not agreed at the beginning that she would be the one to start, she would not have bothered to fight for it. However, since they had already agreed, no one could snatch her things.

    Lin Jiayin frowned. ¡°Miss Xia, you came sote. We thought you weren¡¯ting to the performance.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s still a minute left. I¡¯m notte,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and walked forward. Lin Jiayin could only retreat.

    In thest minute, the person in charge hurriedly told everyone to adjust their actions in the shortest words.

    At eight o¡¯clock sharp, the New Year G officially began.

    ¡°Next, let us wee Xia Wanyuan with the warmest apuse to bring us hertest original single, ¡®Beautiful Moon¡¯.¡±

    Apanied by the cheers of the audience and the audience in the live-stream, the lights gradually dimmed.

    While the audience was eximing, the backstage of the studio was already in chaos.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!!!¡± The person-in-charge. wanted to die Why were there so many problems with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s program? There was no lights-out segment for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s song rehearsal. There was a problem with the opening light, and he probably could not keep his job.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ll get someone to cut the scene and activate the emergency system.¡± The staff was also panicking.

    At this moment, stars lit up in the venue.

    The person in charge felt that something was wrong. ¡°Wait and see.¡±

    The dreamy lights lit up, and snowkes began to float in the entire venue. They were crystal clear, and every corner was clear as they gently fell from the sky.

    The audience reached out curiously, but they realized that their hands could pass through the snowkes.

    This was actually a stage effect projected by a high-definition projector and LED.

    The music gradually sounded. The audience sitting in thest row of the venue suddenly felt something behind them. They turned around and were stunned.

    Before they could react, Xia Wanyuan had already flown away towards the stage.

    The audience:?<i>F*ck!</i>

    The audience in the live-stream looked inexplicably expectant. After waiting for a long time, they did not see Xia Wanyuan appear. However, the camera changed.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a crystal-white performance gown and a small snowke crown. She flew across the entire venue and slowlynded on the stage.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°My program today is ¡®Snow Falling South Mountain¡¯.¡±

    The television station did not do their job well, and she was not prepared to save them face.

    The people from the television station were dumbfounded, but the audience was excited.

 Chapter 943 - Accept Interview Reporter Cried

    <h4>Chapter 943: ept Interview Reporter Cried</h4>

    The original ¡°Beautiful Moon¡± song was rtively cheerful. The television station had equipped Xia Wanyuan with an entire dance troupe.

    Xia Wanyuan changed the song at thest minute and canceled the backup dance.

    Not only did she cancel the backup dance, but Xia Wanyuan also canceled the apaniment. She got Uncle Wang to send the Fallen Phoenix Zither and she yed it herself.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the stage and raised her hand lightly. Her light singing and the melodious sound of the zither apanied by snowkes lingered in the entire venue. The audience in the live-stream did not even dare toment, afraid that they would disturb this mood.

    After the song ended, Xia Wanyuan had already stood up. The audience was still immersed in the performance.

    ¡°Happy New Year, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at the camera, the snowke-shaped crown on her head shining under the light.

    The venue suddenly erupted with shocking cheers and apuse.

    Xia Wanyuan nced down the stage and met Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling eyes. The dimples on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face appeared, and she walked back backstage with her dress.

    In the studio, the person-in-charge was unknowingly dumbfounded. The staff sighed at the side. ¡°What kind of godly reversal is this? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance feels much better than when she was rehearsing.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, Jun Shiling wanted to leave directly, but Xia Wanyuan had sent him a message and asked him to wait for another half an hour. After all, Xia Wanyuan had promised Strawberry TV that she would be interviewed by the media after the show.

    The program on stage continued, and the backstage interview area was already filled with media reporters.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, look here!¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan walked in, the sound of the shutter rose and fell.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely appeared in front of the media. This time, they finally found an opportunity and everyone prepared a basket of questions.

    However, after a few rounds, everyone was so tired that they wanted to give up.

    When asked about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works and television dramas, she would answer very seriously.

    However, once there were questions that wanted to trap Xia Wanyuan or some questions about her private life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s martial arts skills appeared. The reporters did not manage to pry any useful information from Xia Wanyuan. Instead, they were tricked by Xia Wanyuan into giving her a pile of information.

    [Haha, Xia Wanyuan is indeed a professor at Qing University. This brain is not something the reporters can get around.]

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. The reporter¡¯s speechless sigh just now was so helpless. He wanted to get information about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s boyfriend, but he didn¡¯t manage to. Instead, Xia Wanyuan found out where he lived.]

    After answering nine questions, Xia Wanyuan was ready to wrap up. ¡°There¡¯s onest question.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, I saw a program list for the g. Your original program was ¡®Beautiful Moon¡¯, right? Why did it change to ¡®Snow Falling South Mountain¡¯? When did youpose this new song?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not n to save face for the television station. ¡°There¡¯s a problem with the dance team prepared by the television station, so I changed the program. I thought of the song an hour ago. Alright, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s interview. Goodbye, everyone.¡±

    The media reporters and audience in the live-stream:<i>???? What do you mean by I thought of it an hour ago? Big boss, can youe back and tell me the details?</i>

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s elegant figure disappeared from the live-stream. At the same time, Jun Shiling stood up and left the audience.

    At that moment, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the venue. No one noticed Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan leaving the venue together.

    ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful today.¡± Jun Shiling took out an entire bouquet of roses from the car and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. He did not have the habit of sending flowers in the past. Now, every time Xia Wanyuan finished her performance, he would send her a bouquet.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± It was undeniable that Xia Wanyuan liked such small gifts. ¡°Where are we going now?¡±

    ¡°Get in.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into the car.

    About an hourter, the car stopped at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs.

    <h4>Chapter 944: Princess, CEO Jun¡¯s Rtionship Exposed</h4>

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out and ced her hand in his coat pocket. ¡°Are you cold?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°Cold.¡±

    Jun Shiling touched her warm hand and knew that Xia Wanyuan was acting coquettishly again. Jun Shiling did not expose her and hugged her in his arms. Then, he pointed at the sky. ¡°Look.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. The originally dark sky was now filled with fireworks. Fireworks of all shapes bloomed in the sky, illuminating the world.

    Fireworks rose into the sky one after another, and heart-shaped fireworks surrounded this ce.

    ¡°So pretty.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling.

    After looking outside for a while, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into the house. This was an antique building, and the charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m a little sleepy.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned.

    ¡°Come.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan to the bed andy down. He surrounded her with the nket and opened the window.

    Along the huge window, from the peak to the foot of the mountain, the fireworks bloomed one after another.

    ¡°We¡¯re in our second year.¡± Jun Shiling took out a box from his pocket and took out a jade bracelet to put on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist.

    ¡°Happy New Year, CEO Jun.¡± The fireworks outside the window were endless. Xia Wanyuan raised her arm and looked at the bracelet on her wrist. It was as bright and beautiful as water.

    ¡°Happy New Year, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Sleep, baby.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were sparkling. She turned around and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°We have to be like this every year from now on.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Madam, are you hinting at something by not sleeping?¡±

    Without waiting for Xia Wanyuan to answer, Jun Shiling hugged her and turned over, letting her lie on the bed. ¡°I love you.¡±

    ¡°I love you too.¡±

    That night, everyone living outside the capital saw the fireworks that had been going on all night.

    ]The next morning, Weibo¡¯s trending topic was upied by the New Year¡¯s Eve party. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opening became a hot topic forizens. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan almost dominated the trending topic list.

    In the First Hospital of Beijing, Qiao Yu looked at her good friend in surprise. ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Of course. I even tested it again.¡± The doctor in the white coat nodded. ¡°The two samples you brought were tested and indeed belong to the same person.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Qiao Yu took the test report out of the hospital and called the chief editor excitedly. ¡°Boss!! The test results are out. The long hair in Jun Shiling¡¯s car has beenpared to the hair I took from Xia Wanyuan. It belongs to the same person. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are definitely rted.¡±

    Qiao Yu was a small reporter from an entertainment magazine. She had been in thepany for several years and had never done any explosive news.

    She was the one who had been hit by Jun Shiling¡¯s carst time. On the way to the hospital, she found a strand of long hair in Jun Shiling¡¯s car. She turned on the television in the car and the television automatically stopped at the interface of ¡°Moon As Frost¡±.

    After being a reporter for so long, Qiao Yu had some guesses.

    Before she could do anything, thest time she came to visit her good friend, she happened to meet Xia Wanyuan. Qiao Yu took the opportunity to bump into Xia Wanyuan and secretly take away a strand of hair attached to her scarf.

    In the end, the heavens were really helping her. The hair on Jun Shiling¡¯s car was indeed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    Qiao Yu¡¯s superior was also very excited, but he tried his best to remain calm. ¡°Their identities are special. There¡¯s no evidence yet. We can¡¯t rashly release the news. It¡¯s been hard on you to follow Xia Wanyuan during this period of time. If there¡¯s really anything wrong with them, there will definitely be traces.¡±

    Qiao Yu agreed immediately.

    She suspected that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s mistress. If she could really get any evidence, this shocking revtion would make her famous.

    Thinking of her future sess, Qiao Yu was instantly filled with ambition. She did not even wear beautiful high heels and clothes, nor did she put on makeup. She borrowed her grandmother¡¯s cotton-padded jacket and hat, hid the invisible camera in theyers of clothes, and squatted at the entrance of the Qing University.

    Since she had already confirmed that Xia Wanyuan was rted to Jun Shiling, Qiao Yu had a target to wait for. She picked up the trash at the Qing University gate for five days and could see that Xia Wanyuan was sent over by a ck Rolls-Royce every day.

    Knowing that Jun Shiling was heavily guarded, in order not to arouse suspicion, Qiao Yu rested at home for two days before changing into a youthful and fashionable outfit. She walked to the road in front of the Jun Corporation in ten-centimeter high heels and waited for a car.

    As expected, she took a photo of Jun Shiling getting out of the ck Rolls-Royce.

    Qiao Yu thought that she had done it secretly, but what she did not know was that from the second day she squatted at the Qing University gate, Jun Shiling knew her movements.

    There was only half a month left until the time Xia Wanyuan mentioned, so Jun Shiling let Qiao Yu take action.

    ¡°Auntie, how much are these shoe pads?¡±

    Qiao Yu, who was paying close attention to the movements at the entrance of Qing University, could not be bothered to care about the person. ¡°A pair for a hundred yuan.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re robbing money!!¡±

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to buy it.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s car had arrived at the Qing University gate, Qiao Yu focused all her attention on the school gate.

    Today, Qiao Yu was wearing the coat that she had borrowed from his grandfather, which was stored for twenty years. She was buried in the wide hat. After not being discovered for so many days, Qiao Yu had be more daring. Today, she ced the shoe cushion stall near the school gate, two steps away from Jun Shiling¡¯s car.

    Only about ten meters away from Jun Shiling¡¯s car, Qiao Yu¡¯s heart was pounding nervously. She did not dare to look up. The camera hidden in the plush hat kept shing red.

    Qiao Yu had a feeling that she was going to get some big news today.

    Half an hourter, the bell in Qing University rang. Not long after, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the school.

    Qiao Yu quietly adjusted the insole and pointed the camera in the direction of Jun Shiling¡¯s car door.

    A few minutester, Jun Shiling¡¯s car left the school gate. Qiao Yu¡¯s heart was already beating wildly.

    She stayed where she was for another half an hour before packing up and going home.

    The moment she entered the house, Qiao Yu did not even take off her shoes and rushed straight to theputer. She connected the camera to theputer and watched the video of Xia Wanyuan getting into the car second by second.

    Halfway through the video, Qiao Yu suddenly knocked down the coffee cup on the table in excitement. Her hand trembled as she dragged the mouse back for a second.

    !!!!!!!!!!

    She took a clear photo of Jun Shiling¡¯s face!!

    From Qiao Yu¡¯s camera angle, Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan in his arms, his lips on her forehead, his cold face gentle.

    Qiao Yu called the leader excitedly. ¡°Boss!!! I took a photo!! Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan!!¡±

    The leader was also excited. He wanted Qiao Yu to send the document directly, but when he thought that it was not safe to send it through the Inte, he rushed to Qiao Yu¡¯s house.

    After watching Qiao Yu¡¯s video, the leader¡¯s hands trembled. This news was enough to make the two of them famous in the industry.

    ¡°Boss, what should we do? Should we release this?¡± After being agitated, Qiao Yu finally regained some rationality. With Jun Shiling¡¯s power, he would definitely not let them off after releasing such a huge scandal.

    Qiao Yu¡¯s superior thought for a full fifteen minutes before finally deciding. ¡°Send!¡±

    Perhaps with this video, they could get arge sum of money from Jun Shiling. However, if this video was released, their entirepany wouldpletely be famous in the industry.

    He had been doing entertainment news for so many years. Wasn¡¯t his goal to discover news that would explode on the Inte and make everyone admit that he was the leader of this circle?

    ¡°Okay, then let me organize it.¡± This was the first time Qiao Yu had encountered such big news. She was so excited that her hands were trembling. She sat in front of theputer and began to edit and organize the materials.

    At the same time, Jun Shiling also received the news.

    ¡°Someone took a photo of me picking you up.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was seriously writing her thesis.

    Hearing this news, Xia Wanyuan did not have much of a reaction and replied calmly, ¡°Oh.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean by ¡®oh¡¯?¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t you need me to stop it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°Stop pretending. You can¡¯t wait for others to release the photo.¡±

    Having his thoughts exposed, Jun Shiling did not retort and snorted softly. ¡°How was the rehearsal for the g?¡±

    ¡°Today is thest big rehearsal before the festival.¡± Xia Wanyuan moved her hand away from the keyboard. ¡°Is there any news from Bo Xiao?¡±

    ¡°Kiss me and I¡¯ll tell you.¡±

    Seeing his reaction, Xia Wanyuan knew what was going on without asking. She pushed Jun Shiling away. ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me from writing my thesis. Go away.¡±

    un Shiling, who was despised, smiled helplessly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask me to go away when you were cold at night?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced sideways at Jun Shiling. ¡°Then go sleep with Xiao Bao tonight.¡±

    ¡°Impossible.¡± Jun Shiling rejected tly.

    While Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were ying, Qiao Yu spent the entire afternoon sorting out all the documents.

    ¡°Boss, I posted it.¡± Qiao Yu edited all the revtions on Weibo and was only short of pressing the send button.

    ¡°Send it!¡± The leader made up his mind and gave thest order.

    He pressed the send button.

    Qiao Yu used herpany¡¯s Weibo ount. Their entertainmentpany was rtively small and had only a thousand fans.

    However, Qiao Yu knew that if she posted this on Weibo, no matter how few fans she had, it would eventually cause a huge wave.

    Hence, just as everyone was looking forward to the Spring Festival, a huge piece of news hit everyone.

    The topic ¡°Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship exposed¡± instantly swept through the top of the media rankings.

    Weibo waspletely paralyzed.

 Chapter 945 - Holding Hands to Attend the Ceremony

    <h4>Chapter 945: Holding Hands to Attend the Ceremony</h4>

    Not only was Weibo paralyzed, but all the major social media tforms were also paralyzed.

    It was January 30th in the sr calendar and December 20th in the lunar calendar.

    This day was the nightmare of all programmers in China. In the future, the IT world even set this day ¡°130¡± anniversary tomemorate the countless hairs that their ancestors had lost and became bold in a day.

    When theizens wanted to look at Weibo and read the news as usual, they realized that they could not click on it. The software popped up countless times. ¡°The system is busy. Please try againter.¡±

    At the same time, in various restaurants, cafes, lounges, and other ces,izens had already glimpsed this fantasy news before the software crashed.

    ¡°F*ck!! Am I seeing things? Did you see that?!! Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan? What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°I saw it too, but I can¡¯t click on it now. F*ck, that Weibo post said that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were kissing?! Trash Weibo, it¡¯s frozen. I can¡¯t enter now.¡±

    The programmers used their lives to repair the server, and theizens kept restarting and refreshing the social software.

    Half an hourter, the state of almost being cut off from the Inte in the country finally returned to normal. Netizens were finally able to click on Weibo and realized that there were nearly 300,000ments on the post ¡°Star Sniff First¡±.

    Theizens were puzzled.?<i>What hand speed do you have??</i>

    However, at this moment, everyone could not be bothered to think about this. They hurriedly clicked on the leaked video of ¡°Star Sniff¡±.

    The video was edited to twenty seconds. Xia Wanyuan got out of a ck Rolls-Royce first. The license te was focused. In the next scene, Jun Shiling got out of the car at the entrance of the Jun Corporation. The car behind him was the one that sent Xia Wanyuan to Qing University.

    It was nothing if they were only here. After all, it was understandable to send a friend to work.

    he next second, Xia Wanyuan walked out of Qing University and got into the car.

    Before the car door closed, Jun Shiling¡¯s figure appeared in the camera. He pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and nted a kiss on her forehead, his expression gentle.

    [ !!!!! Heavens!!! ??? How did they get together?! Both of them cheated?! ]

    [Why doesn¡¯t anyone guess that Xia Wanyuan might be Jun Shiling¡¯s wife who has never been exposed?]

    [ The one in front, how is that possible? Have you forgotten that Jun Shiling has a three or four-year-old child? How old is Xia Wanyuan? How can the two of them get married? Xia Wanyuan has been in the entertainment industry for so long. How does she look like she has given birth before? ]

    [Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s image has copsed a little too much. What goddess with a high education level? In the end, she still became Jun Shiling¡¯s canary. No wonder she didn¡¯t let her boyfriend show his face during the live-stream. So she didn¡¯t dare.]

    After the video was exposed, countless analysis posts appeared on the other major media.

    ¡°Do you still remember the first time the two of them had a photo together? It was at that business party where Jun Shiling lifted the hem of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress. No wonder someone of Jun Shiling¡¯s status would lower himself to lift the hem of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress. Now that I think about it, the two of them were already together at that time.¡±

    ¡°Also, Jun Shiling went to Qing University to attend sses. Jun Shiling asked Xia Wanyuan to give him and Madam a poem in front of so many people. F*ck, these two are too shameless. They dote on Jun Shiling¡¯s wife out of kindness.¡±

    ¡°Also, Xia Wanyuan announced that she was in a rtionship, but she didn¡¯t dare to let her boyfriend show his face during the live-stream. From the looks of it, she¡¯s not protecting her boyfriend. She doesn¡¯t dare to let Jun Shiling show his face at all.¡±

    The entire Inte was filled with heated discussions.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone was also bombarded with all sorts of news.

    Those who knew about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship with Jun Shiling, such as Chen Yun and An Rao, sent congrattory messages.

    Those who were on good terms with Xia Wanyuan,

    More tactfully, such as the professors of Qing University and the colleagues of the production team, they hinted at Xia Wanyuan in all sorts of ways. ¡°You¡¯re a good girl. Don¡¯t dy your future because of your rtionship. Money is just a worldly possession. If you need money, we can lend it to you.¡±

    To be more direct, straightforward men like Director Li Heng, Yan Ci, and Qin Wu directly sent Xia Wanyuan many messages. They were angry that she did not love herself and angrily advised Xia Wanyuan, ¡°How can you not cherish yourself?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat messages quickly exploded into 99+.

    ¡°Why doesn¡¯t anyone believe that I¡¯ve already given birth?¡± Xia Wanyuan helplessly clicked off her WeChat messages.

    ¡°Because you¡¯re beautiful and young. You look like a 16-year-old girl.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms with a smile.

    ¡°What sweet words.¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling¡¯s words. ¡°You¡¯re 16 years old.¡±

    ¡°If I were 16 years old, I would definitely look for you for puppy love.¡± As he spoke, Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples.

    ¡°Go away.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and pushed Jun Shiling, but she could not move him at all.

    ¡°Can I ask Madam to issue our marriage certificate?¡±

    ¡°After the Spring Festival G.¡± Xia Wanyuan nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and let him hug her to the sofa. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to the venue? Save a seat for me beside you.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling seemed to have guessed what Xia Wanyuan was about to do. His heart skipped a beat and his eyes lit up. ¡°Madam, kiss me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned over to peck his face.

    However, Jun Shiling did not relent. ¡°More.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°I especially love you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were gentle as he tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the ceremony tonight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and agreed. Anyway, everyone had already seen the photo, so it did not matter now.

    The entire Inte had already been swept by the news of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, so much so that the ¡°Prynne¡± award ceremony, which should have be the most popr, was ignored.

    ¡°Prynne Award¡± officials:?<i>We really hate it. The poprity is gone just like that.</i>

    However, the sensitive media reporters were already waiting at the award ceremony with spears and cannons.

    As the most prestigious ¡°Prynne¡± award in the television industry, those who could be nominated for this award were all big-name directors and A-list actors. The crowd surged.

    The people who could not reach the venue almost exploded in the live-stream.

    [ Squeeze a little. Will Xia Wanyuan appear today? ]

    [It¡¯s not like she can win an award. After such a huge incident, she¡¯ll probably find a reason not toe.]

    Just as theizens were arguing about whether Xia Wanyuan woulde, there was a suddenmotion. Everyone¡¯s gazes turned in the same direction.

    ¡°Star Sniff First¡±pletely exposed Jun Shiling¡¯s license te to the public. And now, Jun Shiling¡¯s car was slowly driving towards the venue.

    The originally bustling square fell silent, and thements in the live-stream stopped. Everyone stood on the spot and waited silently.

    The car slowly drove in, leaving deep ruts in the snow on the road.

    Finally, the car stopped.

    The chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door. A pair of shiny leather shoes stepped on the ground. The next second, Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome and noble face appeared in front of everyone.

    This ceremony had nothing to do with Jun Shiling. The reason why he was here was because it was too obvious. Everyone held their breaths and stared at the car door.

    As expected, in the next second, a pair of fair hands reached out and rested on Jun Shiling¡¯s palm.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a custom-made gown, appeared in front of everyone.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, Jun Shiling draped the coat between his arms over her and buttoned her up. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and the two of them walked side by side on the red carpet.

    On the red carpet surrounded by flowers, Jun Shiling was cold and noble, and Xia Wanyuan was iparably beautiful. The two of them walked hand in hand, making people feel extremely harmonious.

    [The two of them are too arrogant¡­ It¡¯s good to be rich and powerful. With Jun Shiling protecting her, no one will dare to say anything to Xia Wanyuan.]

    [Although their actions are wrong, I want to say¡­ they¡¯re sopatible¡­]

    [I think so too¡­ If only Jun Shiling wasn¡¯t married. If these two were to be together openly, they should be blessed by many people. Why did they have to end up in this situation where everyone looks down on them?]

    The crowd present had already frozen into statues. They did not expect Jun Shiling to personally send Xia Wanyuan over.

    In the venue, the guests who had already taken their seats heard the news.

    The venue that should have been boiling with excitement was now strangely quiet.

    ¡°Wee Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling of the Jun Corporation!¡± Following the host¡¯s announcement, everyone looked at the door.

    Facing everyone¡¯splicated gazes, Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan to her seat.

    The cameramen of the ceremony were almost crazy. On the one hand, they wanted to point the camera at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling crazily. After all, everyone was too curious.

    However, they were really afraid of Jun Shiling. They only dared to pretend to shoot him by chance before quickly moving away.

    However, even in such a short period of time, everyone could already feel the deep affection between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    In such a strange atmosphere, the ¡°Prynne¡± award ceremony began.

    Jun Shiling had never watched television dramas and was not interested in these things at all. He casually brought some documents over and read them seriously.

    One by one, moving award-winning scenes were disyed on the big screen. The guests walked onto the podium amidst the cheers of the crowd.

    The atmosphere in the venue finally began to warm up. The ceremony proceeded smoothly.

    Until Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name sounded in the venue.

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Prynne Award for Best Actress!!!¡±

    The cameraman finally dared to point the camera in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direction openly.

    Hearing her name, Xia Wanyuan was clearly still a little surprised. She turned to look at Jun Shiling, who smiled and nodded at her. ¡°Go.¡±

 Chapter 946 - Public Display of Love, The Princess Is Jealous

    <h4>Chapter 946: Public Disy of Love, The Princess Is Jealous</h4>

    The venue, which was gradually heating up, cooled down again because of this ¡°Xia Wanyuan won the Prynne award¡±. Everyone¡¯s gazesnded on Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    The lights in the venue had already focused on Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling reached out to help Xia Wanyuan adjust the ne on her neck. Xia Wanyuan smiled at him with a small dimple.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with gentleness.

    The photographer wished he could zoom in on Xia Wanyuan 100 times more, so the scene of Xia Wanyuan smiling at Jun Shiling was naturally transmitted to the live-stream.

    [¡­ F*ck, this smile. I¡¯m gone. How did Xia Wanyuan manage to be so cold and cute? If I were a domineering CEO, I would be willing to keep her.]

    [Jun Shiling is so gentle. Oh my god, I reflect on myself. Why do I feel a little sweet?]

    [Are you guys crazy? Have you lost your mind loving this couple? Jun Shiling has a child and a wife. He brought his lover out so openly. No matter how rich he is, he can¡¯t change the fact that Jun Shiling is a scumbag and Xia Wanyuan is a mistress.]

    Under everyone¡¯s envious, jealous, and disdainful gazes, Xia Wanyuan walked onto the stage.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan simply greeted everyone below the stage.

    Strangely, after Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, only two ces apuded.

    One was where the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± was located, and the other was where Jun Shiling was sitting.

    The organizers turned the camera to the audience. Everyone was either silent or disdainful. Although no one spoke, their expressions conveyed that they did not agree with Xia Wanyuan winning this award.

    [How embarrassing¡­ It¡¯s indeed amazing to have a backer. Without Jun Shiling, how could she have won the Prynne Award?]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans could not sit still. Although they did not agree with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were obvious. The fans tried to argue with the other audience.

    However, no matter what the fans said, in everyone¡¯s hearts, Xia Wanyuan was a mistress who relied on Jun Shiling. The live-stream was in an uproar.

    The atmosphere was so awkward that the host quickly came to the rescue. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s take a look at the performance segment that the judges of the Prynne Award gave Xia Wanyuan high praise.¡±

    With that, without waiting for a response, the host gestured for the performance to begin.

    Smoke rose from the vast sky. Gunshots came from afar, making one¡¯s heart palpitate.

    ¡°Quick, bring them away!!¡± Qin Manyue, who had just be a warrior, encountered a life and death situation on her first battlefield.

    ¡°Xiaoyue, we¡­¡± Herrades¡¯ eyes were filled with tears. They wanted to say something, but the enemy¡¯s gunfire was getting closer and closer. It was toote. They could only harden their hearts and bring thest group of people across the river.

    Thest child sessfully went ashore. Qin Manyue looked back.

    Among those people were herrades whom she had interacted with day and night, aunties who had cooked rice paste for her, and children who had learned how to read from her.

    That group of people was the warmth she had regained after her entire family was destroyed. Qin Manyue¡¯s eyes were red, but there was a smile on her face. Her eyes were filled with longing and sorrow.

    The enemy had already appeared on the horizon. Qin Manyue finally turned around resolutely and gripped the gun in her hand tightly.

    At this moment, her aura changed.

    Her gaze was firm, like an unsheathed sword. Even though she had a delicate figure, under the setting sun, she had condensed into a war god with steel bones.

    The setting sun fell on the river, painting it bright red. Only when the sun set over the horizon did the gunshots finally stop.

    At this moment, Qin Manyue had already fallen into the surging river and disappeared.

    The scene changed. Qin Manyue, who had been floating for an unknown period of time, was saved by the fishermen.

    ¡°Miss, you¡¯re awake? Have a ss of water. I added ginger inside.¡± The simple fisherman handed a ss of warm water to Qin Manyue.

    Looking at the ginger in the cup, Qin Manyue suddenly began to cry.

    Her mother also had the habit of putting ginger in warm water.

    Two months ago, she was still the pampered Miss Qin.

    She suddenly felt so wronged.

    A few hours ago, she was still a war god hero who used her delicate body to build a wall of life for the people behind her.

    However, at this moment, a piece of ginger evoked all her fears, grievances, and longing for her family.

    Qin Manyue cried as she chewed on the ginger.

    In the audience, some people had already begun to cry with Qin Manyue.

    The video stopped abruptly, and the lights in the venue lit up again.

    [When she sacrificed herself for justice, Qin Manyue must have been brave. When she survived the cmity, she was also afraid. Heroes are not made of steel. She acted well.]

    [ The moment Xia Wanyuan spoke, I cried. Alright, although her character is not good, her acting is good. ]

    There was apuse in the venue.

    At first, there were only a few sparse ones.

    Gradually, one by one, the apusested for a long time.

    Everyone present was a professional in the acting world. They could naturally tell if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was good or bad.

    In the five-minute video, Xia Wanyuan only said one sentence.

    The other performances relied on expressions and limbs.

    And Xia Wanyuan had done all of this to the extreme. From her performance, everyone could feel her courage to fight the enemy, her determination to protect her country, her dedication to her ideals, and her longing for her family. She was afraid of death.

    Theyers were rich and touching.

    ¡°Okay, now, let¡¯s invite the country¡¯s top actress, Madam Liu Lan, to present the award to Xia Wanyuan. Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Prynne Award for Best Female Lead!¡± The host¡¯s announcement sounded.

    This time, the entire hall cheered.

    While everyone was convinced, Xia Wanyuan took the trophy from Liu Lan.

    ¡°Congrattions to our Wanyuan. Wanyuan has won the Prynne Award at such a young age. You must have a lot to say. Please share your thoughts with us, Wanyuan?¡± The atmosphere in the venue finally heated up again, and the host secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Thank you, everyone. I¡¯ll continue to work hard,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she raised the trophy toward Jun Shiling¡¯s direction.

    The host was stunned.?<i>That was it?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had already put down the microphone. The host hurriedly continued.

    Xia Wanyuan did not return to her seat with the trophy. Instead, she was brought backstage by the staff. After every Prynne Awards, there would be photos with the posters.

    ¡°Congrattions, Miss Xia.¡± There were already many other actors backstage, including Lin Jiayin. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re so lucky. You became the acting queen with a television drama.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Lin Jiayin, who was smiling lightly. She did not speak and walked straight to the camera to take a photo.

    Ignoring Xia Wanyuan, Lin Jiayin did not take it to heart. She seemed to unintentionally chat with the manager beside her. ¡°Sister Yang, I heard that your sister is sick. How is her condition?¡±

    ¡°The situation is very bad. You don¡¯t know, but my brother-inw recently had a mistress outside. The mistress looked like a vixen and seduced my brother-inw to embarrass himself outside.¡±

    The other actresses backstage also came over. ¡°Yo, how can a disgusting thing like a mistress swagger around outside?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Rats in the gutter. They still have the cheek toe out after eating what others left behind.¡± As the actresses spoke, they secretly nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan did not react at all. She naturally held the trophy and took photos with the camera.

    <i>Tsk, how thick-skinned.</i>?The actresses pursed their lips. ¡°Sister Yang, how did your sister resolve itter?¡±

    Lin Jiayin¡¯s manager raised her voice. ¡°Damn, a mistress will always be a mistress. My brother-inw only wants something new. Men still have to return to their families in the end.¡±

    Everyone was discussing backstage, their voices getting louder and louder, as if they were afraid that Xia Wanyuan could not hear them.

    The photo was finally taken. Xia Wanyuan stood up and nced at the actresses who were squeezing together and mocking her.

    When everyone met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes, their hearts trembled. However, on second thought, they did not say anything about Xia Wanyuan.?<i>What was there to be afraid of??</i>Hence, they red back righteously.

    They were all women. Why could Xia Wanyuan win Jun Shiling¡¯s favor and win the female lead award? Why didn¡¯t Jun Shiling like them?

    It was obvious that she had sensed everyone¡¯s hostility. Xia Wanyuan had also heard their insults. She took out her phone and pressed a number.

    ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m backstage. Come and pick me up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words instantly caused the entire backstage to fall silent.

    After the call, Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and waited. The others left and waited with her.

    Three minutester, Jun Shiling entered the backstage with a fierce aura.

    This was the first time everyone had seen Jun Shiling so close. Their eyes were filled with surprise. When they reacted, they hurriedly lowered their heads and tidied their makeup.

    However, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze nevernded on them. He strode towards Xia Wanyuan and draped the clothes in his hand on her. ¡°Is it over?¡±

    ¡°Mm, cold.¡± Xia Wanyuan wrinkled her nose, her voice soft and coquettish.

    Jun Shiling smiled and leaned over to kiss Xia Wanyuan. Then, he pulled her hand and ced it in his clothes. ¡°Good girl, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Everyone watched in a daze as Jun Shiling gently held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out of the backstage.

    It was not until the two of them hadpletely disappeared that everyone reacted.

    Everyone was charmed by Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome appearance. Handsome was just his appearance. Other than that, he was also the head of the Jun Corporation, a man standing at the peak of China¡¯s power.

    Such a man was gently warming a woman¡¯s hands and personally sending Xia Wanyuan to the ceremony. The jealousy in everyone¡¯s eyes turned corporeal.

    ¡°Hubby? Shameless. Why don¡¯t you call him godfather?¡±

    ¡°Green tea b*tch, is she doing it for us to see?? She thinks too highly of herself. She even made her feel superior as a mistress.¡±

 Chapter 947 - Couple Online Name Shocking the Internet

    <h4>Chapter 947: Couple Online Name Shocking the Inte</h4>

    These people who scolded Xia Wanyuan the most fiercely actually did not really stand on the side of justice. They were so exasperated because they hated that the person Jun Shiling had chosen was not them.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s public disy of affection waspletely aimed at the point that everyone hated the most. The actresses backstage were almost angered to death by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯re so happy to win the award?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling face, Jun Shiling could not help but smile.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m more happy to see others angry.¡± Xia Wanyuan sank into her wine and leaned on Jun Shiling. ¡°I won an award. CEO Jun, you have to reward me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, what reward do you want?¡±

    ¡°Reward me by changing mine and CEO Jun¡¯s online names.¡± Xia Wanyuan buried herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s warm coat and allowed Jun Shiling to carry her forward.

    ¡°Are you sure this isn¡¯t a reward for me?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and kissed her.

    Although Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already left the award ceremony, the entire Inte was filled with their legends.

    No one had expected Jun Shiling to apany Xia Wanyuan to the award ceremony. No one had expected Xia Wanyuan to win the Prynne Award for Best Actress. Even the production team of ¡°Moon As Frost¡± had won the most popr television drama of the year.

    There was no one else¡¯s figure in the entire socialwork.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trophy and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walked the red carpet together. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan looked at each other.

    One by one, the trending searches flew everywhere. Theizens went over after eating the melon. They did not have time to watch all sorts of videos.

    At this moment, the attentiveizens suddenly realized something.

    The core figure of all these events, Xia Wanyuan, suddenly changed her Weibo name.

    It changed from the original Xia Wanyuan to ¡°Xia Wanyuan (Starry expression)¡±.

    Everyone was confused at first when she suddenly changed her name for no reason. Only when a small number of smartizens clicked on Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo did they take a look.

    Then, everyone collectively chuckled.

    Because Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo name had also changed.

    It changed from the original Jun Shiling to ¡°Jun Shiling (Moon expression)¡±.

    [What¡¯s going on? I don¡¯t understand. If they change their couple name online, shouldn¡¯t it be the same?]

    [ The one in front, are you the one who slipped through the of nine years ofpulsory education?? Come, recite a poem with me. ¡°May I be like the Star Lord and the moon, bright and clear every night.¡± ]

    [ Ahhhhhhh, I¡¯m going to have schizophrenia. On the one hand, I feel that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling have no sense of shame at all. On the other hand, I feel that they¡¯re really a little sweet. ]

    In the manor, after changing the couple¡¯s names, Jun Shiling looked very happy. He leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°Thank you, baby.¡±

    ¡°Then can I eat an ice cream?¡± Xia Wanyuan took this opportunity to get benefits for herself.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling rejected her directly. ¡°It¡¯s so cold. Why are you eating ice cream?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°If I¡¯m not not allowed to eat ice cream, you¡¯re not allowed to call me baby.¡±?<i>An Rao was right. Men were all liars.</i>

    ¡± Baby.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Stop eating ice cream. Eat me.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°Who did you learn these words from?¡±

    Jun Shiling refused to answer. He would not tell Xia Wanyuan that in order to learn how to please girls, he had even read some baffling CEO texts that Lin Jing had prepared for him.

    ¡°Alright, stop fooling around. Go to sleep. Aren¡¯t you going to rehearse tomorrow morning?¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could ask further, Jun Shiling stopped her.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan obediently crawled under the nket.

    Half an hourter, in the quiet bedroom with the lights switched off, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯ve read the book ¡®CEO You¡¯re So Bad¡¯ in the corner of the study, right?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± After a while, Jun Shiling finally said, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenlyughed in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, herughter filling the entire dark bedroom.

    The veins on Jun Shiling¡¯s forehead bulged. Xia Wanyuan¡¯sughter did not stop. Jun Shiling pursed his lips and hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly. ¡°Stopughing. Go to sleep.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and teased Jun Shiling. She really did not dare to imagine Jun Shiling¡¯s expression when he looked at those books. ¡°Tell me how you feel after reading them, CEO Jun.¡±

    Feeling the vibration in his chest, Jun Shiling snorted helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing much. That male lead isn¡¯t as rich as me and doesn¡¯t treat you as well.¡±

    ]Therefore, there was no point in learning at all. Instead, it wasted half an hour of his time.

    Xia Wanyuanughed at Jun Shiling for a long time before stopping. Jun Shiling had no choice but to sigh and let Xia Wanyuan mock him.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After two days of fermentation, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship had long be a hot topic of discussion.

    In the Wei family¡¯s ancient living room in the south, a few gray-haired elders were sitting together with worried expressions.

    ¡°In your opinion, does Boss¡¯s wife intend to pass the Wei family to that girl surnamed Xia?¡±

    ¡°That girl surnamed Xia has an extraordinary rtionship with the head of the Jun family. I think Eldest Daughter-inw wants to use Jun Shiling¡¯s power topletely take back the Wei family. How can we let her seed? That girl surnamed Xia is just an outsider. How can she control the Wei family?!¡±

    The people meeting here were the second, third, and fourth branches of the Wei family.

    When Old Master Wei was still alive, although the Wei family had their own thoughts, they still maintained harmony on the surface.

    After Old Master Wei died, the Wei family lost its bnce. Before Old Master Wei¡¯s corpse turned cold, the other families quarreled and wanted to split up.

    Matriarch Wei tried her best to protect the Wei family that was on the verge of copse. She moved to Beijing with the main family and maintained a strange bnce with the Wei family¡¯s old residence in the south.

    Over the years, the old residence in the south had gradually developed and grown stronger. Matriarch Wei was already old, and the other families had secretly cooperated. The south was already faintly suppressing the north.

    Just as everyone was waiting for a chance to turn the tables, Xia Wanyuan suddenly appeared.

    ¡°She¡¯s just Jun Shiling¡¯s ything. I don¡¯t think we have to worry so much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s one thing not to worry, but we still have to make ns early. Old Sister-inw came to the Jun family, clearly not leaving us a way out. A few days ago, the Jiang family in Beijing specially sent someone to visit us. I think we can consider cooperating with them. At the very least, we can¡¯t let a girl with a different surname interfere with the Wei family.¡±

    .....

    The fine snow quietlynded on the colorful eaves. A sparrow pped its wings and flew into the sky, leaving all the sounds in the house behind.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was almost Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve, and the Chinese New Year¡¯s atmosphere was getting stronger. The streets of Beijing were already filled with red gs. The festive music of ¡°blessed with fortune¡± swept through the streets of China again.

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been at the center of public opinion, so Chen Yun had rejected her originally few schedules. The students were already on winter break, and Xia Wanyuan did not have to go to school for sses anymore. She stayed at home quietly.

    It was almost the end of the year. Usually, at this time, the employees of the Jun Corporation would already be anxiously waiting for the holidays and preparing to go home for the Chinese New Year.

    However, at this time this year, all the employees¡¯ attention was on Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    There was no need for sses or filming. She had already practiced countless times at the Spring Festival G. Xia Wanyuan was extremely free at home and would personally deliver lunch to Jun Shiling every afternoon.

    Seeing that the lights in the CEO¡¯s private elevator had lit up again, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended to do their own things. However, their eyes had already focused on Jun Shiling, who was picking Xia Wanyuan up at the door.

    Watching the two of them hold hands and go upstairs, the employees gathered.

    ¡°My idol is disillusioned. I didn¡¯t expect a man like CEO Jun to make such a low-level mistake.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan must be here to dere her sovereignty. What an arrogant mistress. She actually sent food to the Jun Corporation. Madam Jun can even tolerate this.¡±

    The employees discussed animatedly until they saw Lin Jing walk over. Only then did they scatter.

    At this moment, the most arrogant ¡°mistress¡± in history was leaning on the sofa in the office and criticizing Jun Shiling. ¡°Why did Xiao Bao cry so sadly this morning? Did you provoke him again?¡±

    ¡°He wants to go to the g with me.¡± Jun Shiling picked up a piece of meat and ced it in his mouth. Xia Wanyuan had made it herself and it was delicious.

    ¡°You¡¯re not letting him go?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement. Xiao Bao had cried pitifully in the morning, and he hadn¡¯t told her what had happened when she asked him.?<i>So it was because of this.</i>

    ¡°I didn¡¯t allow it at first.¡± There were many people at the g, so Jun Shiling didn¡¯t want Jun Yin to go. However, Jun Yin¡¯s ¡°I also want everyone to see that I¡¯m Mommy¡¯s son¡± changed Jun Shiling¡¯s mind.

    On Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve, on the day of the reunion, although he was usually strict with Jun Yin, he still doted on this child and could not bear to leave him alone at home.

    ¡°Then let Grandpa go as well,¡± Xia Wanyuan suggested. Old Master Jun¡¯s injuries were almost healed. After their family attended the g, they coulde back and celebrate the new year together.

    ¡°Grandpa booked a ticket a few months ago. It was fixed when he knew you were going to participate in the show.¡± Jun Shiling swallowed a mouthful of rice.

    The old master had lived for seventy years, but he had never been to the Spring Festival G. It was not that he could not get tickets, but that the old master was not interested and found it too noisy.

    But this year was different. His favorite granddaughter-inw was going on the show. Old Master had already gotten someone to book the first row of tickets in advance and was waiting to cheer Xia Wanyuan on.

    ¡°It¡¯s so good to have you guys.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood up and pounced into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly removed his chopsticks and hugged Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°Do you not want me to eat lunch anymore?¡±

    ¡°Stop eating lunch. Eat me.¡± Xia Wanyuan followed suit and returned Jun Shiling¡¯s words to him. She looked up, her dimples shallow and her eyes filled with smiles.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling wanted to eat, but tomorrow was Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve. Xia Wanyuan had to conserve her energy to participate in the show. How could Jun Shiling bear to torture her? ¡°Stop fooling around.¡±

    ¡°Okay, you don¡¯t love you anymore.¡± Xia Wanyuan withdrew from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms andy back on the sofa to read with a smile on her face.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was silent, but he could not do anything to Xia Wanyuan. He could only let her throw a tantrum.

    In the few days before New Year¡¯s Eve, the weather was very good.

    On New Year¡¯s Eve, the sun was shining brightly. Clouds floated in the blue sky like snow mountains, and the air was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

    The entire country was filled with a reunion atmosphere. There were fiery red couplets, fiery red firecrackers, and fiery red silk clothes. Everyone was happily eating a reunion meal and enjoying themselves with their families.

    Time stepped on everyone¡¯s blessings and approached the evening.

    After the Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, people surrounded the small stove and chatted with the elders.

    They chatted andughed as they waited for Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve and the New Year¡¯s G to arrive.

 Chapter 948 - CEO Jun Taking the Child to the Gala

    <h4>Chapter 948: CEO Jun Taking the Child to the G</h4>

    From the first Spring Festival G, it had be an indispensable segment of Chinese New Year.

    However, in the past few years, the viewership ratings of the Spring Festival G had been decreasing. After every year¡¯s g ended, the organizers would receive criticism andints.

    Backstage, the executive director looked worriedly at the busy people in the studio.

    This year, this heavy burden had fallen on him. Director Yang was both excited and afraid. If the g failed, he would probably have no hope of promotion this year. Furthermore, he would receive ridicule from the entire country.

    This was too worrying.

    Time advanced minute by minute. Director Yang stood up and prepared to patrol onest time.

    At this moment, the entrance of the studio suddenly fell silent. In the silence, there were exmations. Director Yang frowned and looked over.

    Even he, who had been on the stage for so many years, was stunned.

    With just this nce, he suddenly felt that the worry from before was nothing to be afraid of.

    Anyone who had organized arge-scale g knew that a g did not need every program to be exciting.

    As long as one or two shocking highlights remained in people¡¯s hearts for a long time, when people recalled that stunning moment back then, they would think of this g.

    In this way, this g was considered sessful.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan in front of him, Director Yang felt that there was a highlight of the g.

    The others looked at the well-dressed Xia Wanyuan withplicated expressions.

    Initially, everyone admired Xia Wanyuan. Although this person was cold and aloof, her temper was not bad.

    However, now that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship was in an uproar, everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s canary.

    Those who had participated in the rehearsal knew how much face the director had given Xia Wanyuan. Thinking about it now, she had probably used Jun Shiling¡¯s back door a lot.

    Everyone looked at each other and winked.?<i>Hardworking was not as good as being good-looking. Look at her. She relied on her face to squeeze into the center position of the Spring Festival G.?</i>

    Director Yang felt endless inspiration the moment he saw Xia Wanyuan. He called out to her, ¡°Wanyuan,e here. I have something to tell you.¡±

    At the entrance of the venue, the audience began to enter.

    The Spring Festival G was the most eye-catching official g in China. Those who could get tickets to watch it live were either rich or noble. Everyone was dressed up and their faces were filled with joy as they entered the venue.

    In the special live-stream room of Central TV, tens of millions ofizens were waiting.

    Over the years, the viewership rate had decreased. This year, Central TV yed a trick.

    Until thest day, no one on the Inte knew about this year¡¯s program list. They kept the performance guests a secret and did not let outsiders see them at all.

    Theizens were curious. Even though they felt that the Spring Festival G was boring, they still waited in the live-stream.

    [This year¡¯s g is probably very boring again. It¡¯s still so mysterious. Could it be that there¡¯s nothing interesting?]

    [I¡¯m still addicted to eating Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s melons. I can¡¯t crawl out of it for a long time.]

    [The person in front, I¡¯ve been eating melons for a long time. Hahahaha, f*ck, look at the person walking past the door just now. Isn¡¯t that Jun Shiling!!]

    The camera seemed to understand what was going on. Just as the audience began to boil, the camera moved to Jun Shiling, who was walking towards the hall.

    The surrounding people also recognized Jun Shiling and consciously made way for them.

    On the right of the tall and cold Jun Shiling walked the energetic Old Master Jun.

    Just as the audience began to shout that he was extremely handsome, a cute voice suddenly appeared in the camera.

    ¡°Daddy, my bow tie fell off ~¡±

    The audience was stunned for a moment and even looked behind them.?<i>Who was talking??</i>

    In the next second, the camera moved down and a cute child in a suit appeared in front of everyone.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s face was slightly pouted, and his big eyes were like ss beads filled with water. He was looking up at Jun Shiling, his eyes clear and dependent.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was extremely cold. He nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°Put it on yourself.¡±

    Xiao Bao pursed his lips and went forward to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s leg. He said coquettishly, ¡°Daddy, help me tie it.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at him in disdain, but in the end, he squatted down and tied the small bow tie around Xiao Bao¡¯s neck again.

    ¡°Thank you, Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao grinned at Jun Shiling softly, his dimples appearing.

    [Ahhh, it¡¯s so cute. Is this little angel serious?]

    [Help, why are you attacking me so cutely!!]

    [Don¡¯t you think that this little cutie looks a little simr to Xia Wanyuan when she smiles with dimples?]

    he attentiveizens¡¯ments were like a small stone hitting the calmke, causing a pool of spring water.

    Everyone hurriedly looked at Xiao Bao¡¯s facial features carefully.

    This child waspletely a miniature version of Jun Shiling. At such a young age, they could already predict how handsome he would be in the future.

    Other than that, everyone also realized that Xiao Bao¡¯s eyebrows did look a little simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s, especially after he smiled until his dimples appeared.

    Even though one was delicate and the other was sweet, the feeling they gave was inexplicably simr.

    <i>F*ck!?</i>

    Everyone was shocked.?<i>Could it be that we had preconceived and thought in the wrong direction?!!!</i>

    Some attentiveizens thought that even though Jun Shiling¡¯s family was here, they did not see Jun Shiling¡¯s wife.?<i>Since she was not an audience, could she be a guest performer?</i>

    <i>Could it be?</i>

    The impact of Jun Shiling¡¯s family made everyone¡¯s emotions fluctuate. However, at this moment, no one had time to think.

    Because it was eight o¡¯clock.

    Apanied by the bell of the New Year, the Spring Festival G began.

 Chapter 949 - Official Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 949: Official Announcement</h4>

    As the clock struck the hour, the stage of the Spring Festival G slowly opened.

    Using the most sophisticated dance techniques and LED venue control design, Central TV¡¯s g was extremely beautiful.

    The host walked to the front of the stage with a smile on his face. He announced happily that the g had officially begun, stirring up the atmosphere.

    High-definition projection technology connected the stage and the audience seats. The new year was the Year of the Dragon. Golden dragons that seemed to be real circled above the hall. Rednterns with blessings hung high in the hall. Every table covered in red silk was filled with flowers.

    The camera circled the audience with a smile on everyone¡¯s faces.

    The cameramen understood the audience¡¯s thoughts and specially gave Jun Shiling¡¯s table a close-up.

    At that moment, Xiao Bao was sitting on a chair covered in red silk. He was small and sat upright. His legs were hanging in the air as he looked pitifully at the handsome Jun Shiling beside him. He pursed his lips and tears welled up in his eyes.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s pitiful appearance immediately made the audience¡¯s hearts clench.

    [Oh my god, how did he get bullied? Come into my arms, I¡¯ll pat your head.]

    [ Didn¡¯t you see the toffee on the table? Hahahahahaha, the way the little cutie looked at the toffee was filled with longing and sadness. Hahahaha, it must be that CEO Jun doesn¡¯t let him eat the toffee. It¡¯s too cute. Auntie¡¯s heart has melted. ]

    [Boohoo, what kind of genes are these? The little kid is too cute, and he¡¯s the little prince of the Jun Corporation. What winner in life? If I give birth now, can I catch up to being his mother-inw?]

    In the venue, Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling for a long time, but Jun Shiling was still unmoved. Xiao Bao looked at Old Master pitifully. ¡°Great-grandfather.¡±

    Old Master Jun nced at Jun Shiling and ced the candy in front of Xiao Bao. ¡°Be good. It¡¯s the new year. It¡¯s fine to eat a candy.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes curved up and he reached out to take the candy. However, Jun Shiling nced at him coldly. Xiao Bao pursed his lips and retracted his hand.

    <i>Boohoo, Daddy is a bad person. When will Mommye out? I miss Mommy.</i>

    Since he could not eat milk candy, Xiao Bao obediently sat on the chair and watched the show.

    On the stage, the famous domestic singer, Li Yi, who had been famous for many years both domestically and abroad, began. A song, ¡°Unforgettable Tonight¡±, instantly brought everyone into the joyous atmosphere of the New Year.

    This was the first time Xiao Bao had seen such a g. His big eyes blinked as he looked curiously at the exquisite dance and listened to the pleasant songs. From time to time, he wouldugh at the crosstalk and skit.

    Xiao Bao was immersed in the Spring Festival G and had no idea that the cameras that passed by him from time to time had already recorded his various expressions and actions.

    Under Xiao Bao¡¯s sincere guidance, the audience in the live-stream inexplicably felt that the dance was really good, the song was really good, and the crosstalk and skit was also very interesting!!

    The director of the Spring Festival G also noticed this magical phenomenon, so he asked the photographer to tilt the camera towards Xiao Bao.

    Hence, unknowingly, Xiao Bao became the best promoter of the Spring Festival G.

    An hour passed.

    Reality proved that maintaining a sense of mystery was still useful. The viewership ratings for this g had increasedpared to previous years, and the audience could feel the sincerity of this Spring Festival G.

    The skit that made everyoneugh drew the curtains. Just as everyone was looking forward to the next program, the high-definition disy on the stage suddenly gathered.

    Excited music sounded, and an image gradually appeared on the big screen.

    The morning sun rose from the peak of Mount Tai, and the Yellow River flowed into the sea. Horses ran on the vast grasnd, and tall buildings rose from the ground. Spaceships and satellites headed towards the ce where their ancestors had dreamed of. Navy teams entered the sea, and the fleet was shown. The cross-sea bridge was like a huge dragon lying on the sea, connecting the hopes of both sides.

    In the financial center, passers-by were in a hurry. In the countryside, old women were diligently sowing seeds. On campus, books were read. In the warm home, four generations wereughing and chatting.

    .....

    Images kept appearing on the stage. At the same time, the trailer for the next program began to appear on the stage.

    Next program: Song, ¡°Glorious World ¨C The Chinese Chapter¡±.

    The singer, Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened in joy. He patted Jun Shiling¡¯s arm excitedly. ¡°Mommy!!¡±

    Jun Shiling turned around and scolded softly, ¡°Sit properly and stop fooling around.¡±

    At this moment, Xiao Bao could not care less about Jun Shiling¡¯s reprimand. He ced his hand on the table and sat down obediently. He stared seriously in the direction of the stage and waited for Xia Wanyuan to appear.

    At this moment, the live-stream was filled with question marks and exmation marks.

    [?? What¡¯s going on?? Xia Wanyuan is actually on the Spring Festival G??]

    [What the f*ck? Such a solemn stage. Isn¡¯t the Spring Festival G director afraid of being scolded to death because he invited a mistress?]

    These suspiciousments did not exist for long.

    Because the stage lights began to light up.

    The entire stage surged with red silk. Hundreds of dancers in colorful clothes gathered from all directions.

    The passionate music was like the cry of a phoenix, knocking open the prelude to the golden era.

    The dancers followed the arranged formation and constantly changed their positions and formations, offering everyone a visual feast.

    A loud and prative female voice suddenly sounded. At the same time, a beautiful figure gradually rose from the center of the stage.

    When this figurepletely stood on the stage, the global audience watching the g was shocked.

    Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a red strapless dress with hundreds of flowers embroidered on it. Tens of thousands of dazzling diamonds were embedded in the huge dress.

    Mu Feng had perfected the shape of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s already beautiful face. Her pearl-like eyes were filled with determination, courage, and confidence, making one think of the national record they had just seen. It was magnificent.

    Under the illumination of countless lights, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s entire body shone. Her extremely magnanimous singing matched the solemn apaniment, causing the audience to involuntarily surge with confidence.

    Xia Wanyuan, the true glorious world singer, had sent this song to the entire world.

    At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in the music and could note out for a long time.

    The backup dancer had already left the stage. Xia Wanyuan stood rooted to the ground. The host walked onto the stage.

    ¡°Wanyuan¡¯s performance just now was too amazing! My eyes were filled with tears as I listened backstage. I heard the confidence of a great country from your singing and your pride and love for this country.¡± The host smiled and chatted with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded politely. The gem on her neck shone brightly under the light.

    ¡°Wanyuan, is this your first time attending the Spring Festival G?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded.

    ¡°Are you nervous?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not nervous.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the center of the stage, and a small dimple appeared on her face. ¡°Because my husband and child are cheering for me today. They gave me support and motivation.¡±

    ¡°Oh? I really couldn¡¯t tell that Wanyuan is already married and has children?¡± The answer to this question was not in the set interview segment, but the host of Central TV still had the ability to adapt on the spot. ¡°Wanyuan, where are your husband and children? Let them greet the national audience.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°The table in the middle of the first row.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then let our cameraman show the camera to our Wanyuan¡¯s family and wish the audience in the country a happy new year.¡± This was a random interaction that often appeared in gs in the past.

    However, what the host did not expect was that there was a huge problem with this interaction.

    The cameraman brought the camera to the table Xia Wanyuan had mentioned.

    Then,

    In the camera, Jun Shiling¡¯s family appeared. The energetic and smiling Old Master Jun waved at the camera. Jun Shiling sat quietly, noble and proud. Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes and waved at Xia Wanyuan on the stage.

    The venue was in an uproar, and the live-stream had already exploded.

    The cameraman did not know Jun Shiling and handed the microphone to him. Jun Shiling took the microphone and smiled.

    ¡°Happy New Year, everyone.¡± Jun Shiling paused and looked at Xia Wanyuan on the stage. His expression softened. ¡°Madam, happy New Year.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, Mommy!!¡± Xiao Bao slid down from the chair beside him anxiously and ran to Jun Shiling¡¯sp. Jun Shiling handed the microphone to him.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s cute voice instantly spread throughout the venue. ¡°Mommy!! I love you!!¡± It made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples deepen.

    After saying this, Xiao Bao turned around and faced the audience. However, he was too small, so Jun Shiling picked him up at the right time.

    ¡°Happy New Year, everyone!! I hope you make a lot of money!¡± Xiao Bao was as exquisite as a fortune-teller who had walked out of a New Year painting. His childish blessings instantly made everyoneugh.

    The atmosphere in the entire venue was pushed to the peak.

    The interview segment given by the director only had a little time. The host ended this random interaction at the right time, and Xia Wanyuan descended from the stage.

    When she returned to the studio, everyone looked at her differently. Everyone heard the sound on the stage.

    <i>Madam?! Mommy????</i>

    <i>The real Mrs. Jun?!!</i>

    Xia Wanyuan ignored everyone¡¯s surprised, curious, and shocked gazes and walked backstage to take off her oversized gown and change into a simple fishtail dress.

    The next program had already begun, but everyone had yet to recover from the shock.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had just ended her performance, returned to the venue. However, this time, she did not walk to the stage. Instead, she walked to middle table in the first row.

    She sat down beside Jun Shiling.

    That was the position of the madam of the Jun family.

 Chapter 950 - Princess Junâ€™s Live Stream Interaction

    <h4>Chapter 950: Princess Jun¡¯s Live Stream Interaction</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had just sat down when Jun Shiling draped his coat over her shoulders and leaned over to kiss her face. ¡°You did well.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared and her eyes sparkled. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling smiled at her.

    <i>Thank you for speaking of our love to your heart¡¯s content in a room full of people.</i>

    The dance performance on stage continued, but the gazes of the crowdnded on Jun Shiling¡¯s table in the first row.

    Those who could sit at this g were mostly either rich or noble. They rarely cared about the entertainment industry, but at thest Wei family banquet, they had either heard openly or secretly that Xia Wanyuan was a member of the Wei family.

    The Wei family was an old family in the south and had rarely interacted with families like those in the Beijing.

    Now that the Wei family had be the mistress of the Jun Corporation, everyone could not help but suspect that the Jun family and the Wei family were conspiring something.

    With the marriage between the two major families from the north and south, the Jun family¡¯s power would expand further, and the situation in China would change drastically.

    Everyone was either worried, watching the fire from the shore, or observing curiously. The fact that Xia Wanyuan had be the mistress of the Jun Corporation was undoubtedly a heavy bomb dropped on China¡¯s power hierarchy.

    However, to ordinaryizens, they did not need to consider these problems. To them, the biggest problem was that this melon was too big!!!

    Xia Wanyuan was really the mistress of the Jun Corporation! The upright Madam Jun! The biological mother of Jun Shiling¡¯s child!!

    [I¡¯m shocked!! So she¡¯s not a mistress at all, right? She came openly as Mrs. Jun.]

    [ This is too well hidden! Too ruthless. I¡¯m sorry for pping my face. A few days ago, I even scolded Xia Wanyuan. I reflect on myself. Will the wife of the richest man seal my ount in anger?! ]

    [ Oh my god¡­ Yuan Yuan and CEO Jun are really a couple. Mom, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I¡¯ve shipped so hard that the couple became real!!! Sisters, dance for me! ]

    At this moment, the ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± fans who had taken on countless insults on Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s behalf some time ago suddenly appeared from all corners, holding their heads high and straightening their backs.

    In the Sovereign Summer chat, there were also countless passers-by who came to criticize the fans for theirck of morals, scold Xia Wanyuan for being an idol, and scold Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling for being shameless on Weibo.

    These Weibo posts had yet to be deleted. In the past, fans did not dare to argue with passers-by. However, now, everyone retorted righteously.

    [Who are you calling a mistress? Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are husband and wife. The upright Madam Jun.]

    [Hahahahaha, my CP became real. I want to eat vegetarian for a month to express my gratitude.]

    [At first, I just thought that they were nice to ship. Who would have thought that I would actually hit the real thing? Amazing.]

    At the same time, the fans had sorted out all sorts of photos of the two of them in the same frame. The videos had been dug out. Now, looking at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s interaction, everyone could see more differences.

    For example, the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes when he helped Xia Wanyuan lift the corner of her dress, the gentleness when Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°May I be like the star and the moon.¡± When the two of them participated in events, Jun Shiling¡¯s loving gaze wouldnd on Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone eximed, ¡°These two people tricked us so badly!¡±

    On some video websites that broadcasted the Spring Festival G, in order to attract traffic, the website specially opened a small independent space below the live-stream interface of the g to specially broadcast the situation at Jun Shiling¡¯s table in real time.

    Xia Wanyuan finally sat at the table. Xiao Bao was overjoyed and wanted to climb onto Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp to sit. ¡°I want Mommy to hug me. Mommy, you¡¯re so beautiful. You¡¯re a fairy!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to him, but Jun Shiling pressed her hand down and nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°Sit yourself. You¡¯re so heavy.¡±

    Xiao Bao pouted and looked at Xia Wanyuan eagerly.?<i>I don¡¯t want to sit by myself anymore. The stool was so hard. Mommy¡¯s arms were the mostfortable. I don¡¯t want Daddy to carry me. Daddy is so fierce.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand in amusement. ¡°Don¡¯t be so fierce.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan prepared to carry Xiao Bao over.

    Xiao Bao slid down from the chair excitedly and reached out his arm to Xia Wanyuan. However, before he could climb onto Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg, Jun Shiling pulled him onto hisp and pressed him down. ¡°Don¡¯t mess around. You¡¯re so heavy. You¡¯re not allowed to let Mommy carry you.¡±

    Xiao Bao struggled a few times but could not break free. He could only sit on Jun Shiling¡¯sp and look at Xia Wanyuan eagerly. ¡°Daddy is so bad.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s soft hair. ¡°Be good and watch the show.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Xiao Bao nodded, and the same dimples appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. His simrly big ck grape-like eyes sparkled.

    Their interaction had already been disyed to thousands ofizens through the live-stream. There were so manyments in the live-stream that it was still explosive even after being cleaned up again and again.

    [Ahhhhhhhh!!! I¡¯m dead!! I¡¯m dying of cuteness, oh my god!! How can there be such a cute little baby!!! The old auntie¡¯s heart has melted from cuteness!]

    [ Xia Wanyuan and the little kid have the same dimples! Don¡¯t save me when I die. How can you be so cute? I originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a winner in life. Now that I think about it, Jun Shiling is the winner in life. Such a cute son and such a beautiful wife. ]

    [CEO Jun actually doesn¡¯t let Xia Wanyuan carry him because he thinks the child is too heavy. How heavy can a three-year-old baby be? He¡¯s definitely a wife-doting maniac. Where can I find such a handsome, rich, and wife-doting husband?]

    For the second half of the show, Xiao Bao sat in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and watched the show obediently.

    Finally, the countdown to the new year began.

    ¡°10, 9¡­ 2, 1, Happy New Year!!!¡±

    The new year had begun. Everyone congratted each other, and the happy atmosphere filled China.

    ¡°Happy New Year, Madam.¡± Jun Shiling smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Happy New Year, CEO Jun.¡± Amidst theughter of the surrounding people, Xia Wanyuan truly felt the warmth of this era.

    In this year, there were already simted smokeless firecrackers.

    ]The new year bell rang, and the entire capital was filled with the sound of firecrackers. The lights in the city changed, and the festive Chinese red swept through the city.

    After the g ended, everyone left the venue. Food for the New Year had already been prepared in the manor. Jun Shiling and the rest also left the venue. No matter how reluctantly the audience in the live-stream asked them to stay, the live-stream ended.

    After the g ended, countless people flooded Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    This time, not long after, the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo posted a new status.

    The new status deeply showed how the richest man¡¯s public disy of love was simply crazy.

 Chapter 951 - Give Birth to a Daughter, Mysterious X

    <h4>Chapter 951: Give Birth to a Daughter, Mysterious X</h4>

    Jun Shiling had wanted to make it public for so long. Now that he had finally proven his identity, he was in a good mood and asked Lin Jing to prepare countless New Year gifts.

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°Happy New Year. Leave your blessings for CEO Jun and Mrs. Jun. We¡¯ll have a lucky draw to choose 100,000 and each of them will get $500 in cash.¡±

    This simple and crude Weibo post attracted countlessizens.

    [ 100,000 people, 500 each. I counted with my fingers for a long time. F*ck, 50 million yuan!! The richest man is the richest man. He¡¯s simply blinded me. I¡¯ll go first. I wish President Jun and Madam tost a very a long time. ]

    [Happy New Year, blissful and happy. I¡¯m here. Rich people show off their love so crazily.]

    [I feel that CEO Jun is very happy. Haha, He finally has a status. Show off your love to your heart¡¯s content. I¡¯m not afraid of being stuffed with dog food.]

    This lucky draw Weibo post broke a millionments in just an hour. Thements were filled with happy wishes.

    In the manor, Old Master Jun sat at the head of the table. Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan, and Xiao Bao apanied him.

    ¡°Come, it¡¯s the new year. I wish that you all will have a good time.¡± Old Master Jun smiled and raised his ss. Looking at the warm family now, Old Master Jun was happy from the bottom of his heart.

    ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan also raised their sses. Xiao Bao followed suit with a ss of milk.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that the two of you are career-minded, but Xiao Bao is also lonely as a child. While you¡¯re young, have another child. You should have two children. Hasn¡¯t Xiao Bao always wanted a sister?¡± Old Master Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully, causing her face to heat up.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was shy, Old Master did not say anything else.

    The old master was old and returned to his room to rest after dinner. Xiao Bao was already asleep on the chair after dinner and was carefully carried upstairs by the servants.

    In front of the firece, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sat on the plush carpet and flipped through theizens¡¯ blessings.

    ¡°Your performance tonight was very good. You sang very well and the music was very good.¡± Jun Shiling had never been stingy with his praise for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with stars.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s crescent-shaped eyes, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Do you remember what Grandpa just said?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was looking at Weibo and did not react. ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Give me a daughter.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I want a daughter as beautiful as you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. ¡°Wait for me to finish what I¡¯m doing.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Good girl.¡± Then, he reached out and picked Xia Wanyuan up.

    Suddenly being picked up, Xia Wanyuan eximed, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°To practice having a daughter.¡± Jun Shiling looked righteous.

    ¡°...¡­.¡±

    The night gradually darkened. In Beijing Airport, the ne that had been arranged was waiting on the tarmac.

    ¡°Sir, let¡¯s go,¡± Fang Jin called out again. Only then did the old man in the wheelchair turn around and let Fang Jin push him away.

    ¡°Ah Jin, do you think Jun Shiling treats her well?¡±

    ¡°Sir, Miss Xia has good taste,¡± Fang Jin answered respectfully as he pushed the old man through the security check.

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The old man sighed. ¡°She¡¯s such a good child.¡±

    She was as outstanding as her mother.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The old man sighed and closed his eyes to rest. No one knew what he was thinking.

    The night was lonely. In the cold wind, the ne that had arrived at eight in the evening took off again after staying for six hours. It left thend and flew to the other side of the ocean.

    The next morning, while people were still sleeping, there was a considerable shock in the world¡¯s fashion industry.

    It had always been difficult for Chinese clothing brands to enter the international market. However, ever since Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony became famous worldwide, Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes had actually opened up a very good market overseas.

    In just a few months, Xiu Yi¡¯s sales rose at an astonishing pace. On foreign social media, countless fashion bloggers spontaneously promoted Xiu Yi, and Xiu Yi¡¯s designer, X, became the most popr new designer this year.

    The news that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife had long been spread to the world by the major media. Jun Shiling had once revealed in public that the designer X was his wife.

    That proved that Designer X was Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Such a young Chinese girl was actually the designer X who made countless customers fight for clothes?</i>?Some designers stood up and raised their doubts.

    <i>Was Xia Wanyuan really the chief designer? As the wife of the richest man in the world, she had the ability to ask a master to design and release the work in her name. Otherwise, at such a young age and without any design experience, how could she design such a popr dress worldwide??</i>

    Instantly, many designers formed alliances online and requested to take back the honor of the International Design Gold Award from Designer X and boycott a fashionpany that vited industry standards like Xiu Yi.

    Many clothing brands that had been affected by Xiu Yi used the trend of everyone¡¯s protests to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes to suppress Xiu Yi¡¯s momentum.

    China quickly reacted. The mysterious designer X was Xia Wanyuan.

    X is Xia,

    Everyone was stunned, especially the students who had taken design sses with Xia Wanyuan at Qing University. They doubted their lives.<i>?In the first ss, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t even know the basics. What was going on now?</i>

    <i>Was this the so-called gift from the heavens?</i>

 Chapter 952 - Crushed Cabbage

    <h4>Chapter 952: Crushed Cabbage</h4>

    On the first day of the new year, it should have been the day when the adults yed cards and drank, and the young people chatted and collected money.

    However, on the first day of the new year, when the parents lifted the nket, they saw that their child was sleepy and yawning with a pair of panda eyes.

    <i>After all, who could survive after eating melon all night???</i>

    Everyone was quite satisfied with this year¡¯s g. There were also some outstanding programs.

    However, the song that left the deepest impression on everyone was ¡°Glorious World ¨C Chinese Chapter¡± sung by Xia Wanyuan. The majestic music and lyrics sang the confidence of a prosperous country, and it also made countless people remember the name Xia Wanyuan.

    Especially for the middle-aged and old people who did not have much contact with the Inte, everyone had a good impression of this dignified and elegant singer.

    Countless young people received suggestions from their elders. ¡°I think you have to find the youngdy who wore a red dress and sangst night. She¡¯s beautiful and magnanimous. She¡¯s so suitable to marry.¡±

    All the young people:<i>?I want to marry her, but I don¡¯t have the guts. I don¡¯t have the fate.</i>

    The exposure of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship was naturally the biggest highlight of the year. The appearance of the cute baby, Xiao Bao, had even won a group of aunties fans. The news that Xia Wanyuan was the mysterious designer X had been exposed, making everyone sigh again.

    Xia Wanyuan was indeed a top-notch celebrity. She was simply the queen of topics. The trending topics on the Inte were all about her.

    On this day, no matter where one went, they could hear the words Xia Wanyuan. Apanying them were the words Jun Shiling.

    The noisy supermarket was filled with Chinese New Year music. The customers who came and went chatted as they picked their goods.

    ¡°Ahhh, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are so sweet. I shipped the entire night!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, me too. My parents even scolded me and asked me why my dark circles were so heavy. Xia Wanyuan is really blessed. CEO Jun treats her so well.¡±

    They were already the third wave of customers to discuss Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    The assistant secretly nced at Xuan Sheng, who was seriously choosing vegetables as if he had not heard anything. He sighed in his heart.

    The current young master was living more and more like a human. He had begun to learn to cook simple dishes and no longer drank all night without care for his health. He received regr psychological counseling and even the medicine to treat his bipr disorder had decreased a lot in dosage. He was approaching a healthy person.

    However, he was also living more and more inhumanly.

    For the Prynne New Year G, Xuan Sheng got someone to book a ticket and entered the venue after the ceremony began. He watched the entire process in thest row and secretly left before the banquet ended.

    At Central TV¡¯s Spring Festival G, Xuan Sheng specially got someone to book a corner seat. After watching the entire process in thest row, he secretly left before the event ended.

    Xuan Sheng always watched Xia Wanyuan shine on stage in silence. He watched Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan being intimate on stage, their gazes wandering. No one knew what he was thinking.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s bleak back, the assistant could not help but call out to him.

    ¡°Why?¡± Xuan Sheng turned around. The diamond earrings shone brightly under the light, much brighter than his eyes. The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up, full of evilness. ¡°Pfft, I¡¯m not sad because of this. It¡¯s not the first time I found out about this.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng turned around and continued walking.

    The assistant silently nced at the ce where Xuan Sheng had stood. The leaves of the cabbage were almost gone. The assistant rolled his eyes helplessly.?<i>What happened to not being sad??</i>

    Seeing that Xuan Sheng had already walked far away, the assistant hurriedly picked up the crushed cabbage and followed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The joint statement of many designers attracted the attention of the international design world. Just as the international designpetition was about to begin, the organizer Xia Wanyuan sent apetition letter.

    On the one hand, it was because Xia Wanyuan was already strong enough to participate in thispetition. On the other hand, this designpetition involved designing on the spot. The international design world also wanted to test if Xia Wanyuan, the designer, was real or fake.

    <h4>Chapter 953: Openly Delivering Food to the Company</h4>

    The mysterious designer X was Xia Wanyuan. This strange fact attracted more attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design.

    During the Spring Festival, when the sales of the fashion industry in the country were facing a decline, Xiu Yi stood out and left all the other fashion brands behind. It even set all kinds of sales records worldwide.

    After looking at the order data sent by Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan was satisfied. Everyone¡¯s approval was motivation.

    The International Design Competition was about to begin. Xia Wanyuany on the sofa and focused on studying the works of the various masters in the world of fashion, looking for inspiration.

    Snow fell outside the window, and the fire in the house crackled. Time passed minute by minute.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan finished reading a book and looked at the time, it was almost eleven.

    Coincidentally, Jun Shiling sent a WeChat message.

    Jun:?<i>What are you doing?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan casually took a photo and sent it to him:<i>?Reading.</i>

    Jun:<i>?It¡¯s almost noon. I¡¯m a little hungry. Are you hungry?</i>

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s message, the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. Xia Wanyuan did not reply and called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hello, baby, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice came from the phone.

    ¡°I¡¯ll bring you lunch in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s too hard on you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°CEO Jun, stop pretending. Didn¡¯t you take the initiative to mention eating because of this?¡±

    After all, Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling too well.

    Jun Shiling did not hide it anymore. ¡°Then, thank you, baby.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan entered the kitchen, wondering what to send Jun Shiling.

    In the office of the Jun Corporation, a dead silence filled the air.

    Everyone lowered their heads, wishing they could bury themselves under the table. They looked calm, but their hearts were already in turmoil.

    ¡°Baby?? Baby?? Is that the name that the King of Hell will call out?!!!¡±

    ¡°What did I hear? A person like CEO Jun actually has such a gentle side?!¡±

    .....

    ¡°Let the meeting continue.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s cold voice broke everyone¡¯s thoughts.

    Everyone looked up and lowered their heads in fear when they saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile.

    <i>Hehe, as expected, CEO Jun¡¯s gentle side would not be disyed to us.</i>

    In the lobby of the corporation, a group of people took advantage of the time to drink water in the pantry to crazily exchange gossip. Just as everyone was winking and chatting about Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, someone suddenly eximed.

    ¡°Hey!! Look, thedy boss is here!!¡±

    At the door, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Jun Corporation building without a mask for the first time. She was dressed in a white cashmere coat, but it could notpare to her snow-white skin. She stood there gracefully, looking iparably beautiful.

    Xia Wanyuan walked in with the lunch box. The new intern looked at the beautiful person in a daze and subconsciously asked ording to her usual habits, ¡°Do you have an appointment?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled lightly, revealing a small dimple, causing the intern¡¯s eyes to widen. Her heart raced as she scrolled through thements.?<i>Ahhh, what a beautifuldy.?</i>

    ¡°Jun Shiling is in a meeting. I¡¯ll go up and wait for him myself.¡±

    The intern nodded nkly. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved slightly as she looked at the group of employees who were secretly sizing her up. ¡°Happy New Year, everyone.¡±

    ¡°Happy New Year, Lady Boss!¡± Everyone smiled foolishly at Xia Wanyuan in unison.

    Xia Wanyuan waved at everyone, then walked to the private elevator and quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

    ¡°Ahhh!!! She¡¯s so beautiful!! Why is she so beautiful! Oh my god!¡±

    ¡°That little dimple, I¡¯m really drunk. If I were CEO Jun, I would also find such a beautiful woman to be my wife. Boohoo, she¡¯s too beautiful.¡±

    ¡°Do you see the lunch box in her hand? I feel like she¡¯s here to deliver food to CEO Jun. Not only is no one bringing me food, but I also have to eat such dog food. This ss is too autistic.¡±

    Upstairs, Xia Wanyuan had just walked out of the elevator when Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting ended.

    Everyone rushed out of the meeting room and met Xia Wanyuan, who was walking in. Everyone could not help but be stunned.

    ¡°Is Jun Shiling inside?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light voice broke the strange silence.

    ¡°You¡¯re here? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? I¡¯ll go down and pick you up.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, Jun Shiling quickly walked out of the meeting room and strode to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side to take the lunch box from her.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know where your office is.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the lunch box to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling pulled her hand and ced it in his pocket to warm it.

    It was not until the two of them disappeared around the corner of the corridor that the people who had turned into stone statues came to life. Everyone looked at each other.

    Everyone who was hungry from the meeting suddenly felt that they were not hungry anymore. After all, they were already full from the dog food.

    When they returned to the office and closed the door, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, she was swallowed by Jun Shiling.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling while panting, but to no avail. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was soft and delicate. ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Jun Shiling stared at Xia Wanyuan deeply for a while before suddenly smiling. ¡°Mrs. Jun.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go eat.¡± Jun Shiling did not say anything else and pulled Xia Wanyuan to the sofa to sit down.

    Xia Wanyuan took out her bowl and chopsticks and helped Jun Shiling pick the pork ribs. When she looked up, Jun Shiling, who had not taken a photo in ten thousand years, was actually holding his phone to take a photo of her.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Why are you taking a photo of me?¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow and tapped on the screen twice. Then, he leaned over, hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, and kissed her on the cheek. ¡°You look good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and handed the chopsticks to Jun Shiling. ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was eating with Jun Shiling. She did not know that Weibo, which had begun to cool down, had be lively again because of Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo post.

 Chapter 954 - Boss Junâ€™s Alternate Account was Discovered

    <h4>Chapter 954: Boss Jun¡¯s Alternate ount was Discovered</h4>

    Over the past few days, social media had been filled with news of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. The super topic of ¡°Sovereign Summer¡± had increased by more than a million fans in just two days.

    Countless people were waiting to see the interaction between the two.

    As soon as Jun Shiling posted, everyone immediately realized and quickly rushed to Weibo.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°Madam made it herself. It¡¯s delicious.¡±

    The apanying photo was a photo of Xia Wanyuan lowering her head to pick vegetables.

    She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, half of her face buried in the cor. Her head was lowered, and the sunlight shone on her curled eyshes, making one think of the plum blossoms that were frozen in the sunlight. They were faint and fragrant.

    [Is CEO Jun starting to show off his love?? Is he fearless after the official announcement?]

    [Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful. As a woman, I¡¯m tempted. Boohoo, I was originally envious that Xia Wanyuan could be thedy boss of the Jun Corporation. Now, I¡¯m starting to envy Jun Shiling for marrying such a beautiful wife.]

    [CEO Jun, let your son out for us to take a look. I want to see what the little cutie is doing. The little cutie has sessfully captured the old auntie¡¯s heart!]

    After Jun Shiling posted on Weibo, he disappeared. Theizens did not receive any response from Jun Shiling in theirments. Everyone was bored and began to flip through Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo.

    Jun Shiling had not posted much on Weibo to begin with. With a casual flip, they had already reached the end.

    The first Weibo post was Jun Shiling¡¯s blue sky and white clouds. At that time, everyone thought that Jun Shiling was really sharing the scenery of ¡°summer¡± with everyone.

    Now that they looked back, this ¡®Xia¡¯ did not mean ¡®summer¡¯. It was obvious that Jun Shiling was showing off his love.

    [Sigh, it¡¯s so sweet. Why does CEO Jun have so few Weibo posts? We can just flip through them in no time.]

    [Speaking of CEO Jun¡¯s Weibo¡­ Do you remember that ount called Jun Shiling 11111? I have a bold idea.]

    [The person in front, you reminded me. It¡¯s terrifying to think about it. The entire Inte didn¡¯t think that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling would be rted. That ount has been updating its loving moments with Xia Wanyuan. F*ck!]

    His words woke everyone up from their dreams. Only then did everyone remember the ount of Jun Shiling 11111, who had once angered all the fans online.

    Everyone hurriedly unblocked this ount and was shocked.

    It had been a long time since this ount had been updated, but looking at the past developments, it actually matched many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedules.

    ¡°She looks so cute when she eats cake.¡± ¡°I bought a set of jewelry for Baby today. It suits her skin color very well.¡± ¡°Baby has been acting coquettishly more and more recently.¡±

    ...¡­

    There were tens of thousands of insults under each post. Everyone looked at the Weibo ount that they had thought was crazy and fell silent.

    From the looks of it, this ount was very likely Jun Shiling¡¯s alternate ount. Thinking that they had once mocked Jun Shiling for being whimsical, everyone¡¯s hearts turned cold.

    The only time they were so close to the richest man was when he was scolded by them until he stopped updating. This magical turn of events was simply amazing.

    In the office.

    ¡°Next time, you can just get the servants to do it, and just send it over when it¡¯s done. You don¡¯t have to do it yourself.¡± Although Jun Shiling liked to eat Xia Wanyuan¡¯s food very much, he still could not bear to let her hands get wet.

    ¡°The servants have already prepared the ingredients. I only stir-fried them. I¡¯m not a ss person.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling had finished eating, Xia Wanyuan extended her arm to him. Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her into his arms.

    ¡°Apany me here in the afternoon. I¡¯ll bring you to a meeting.¡± The sweater on Xia Wanyuan was soft and fluffy. Jun Shiling leaned on her shoulder and rubbed it.

    ¡°I have a meeting at school in the afternoon.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder felt itchy from Jun Shiling¡¯s rubbing. She could not help but shrink back, her eyes shining with a smile.

    ¡°Do you know?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He reached out and tapped her long eyshes. ¡°You¡¯ve be more and more cute recently.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°Thank you for telling me, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°Rest for a while. I¡¯ll send you to schoolter.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her, pulling a nket to cover her.

    It was winter break, and the Qing University campus was already empty. Jun Shiling drove Xia Wanyuan all the way to the school building.

    ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡± Jun Shiling carefully wrapped a scarf around Xia Wanyuan and led her to a ce without snow on the steps.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling was about to say something when he heard footsteps on the snow behind him. ¡°CEO Jun, long time no see. My grandfather was talking about you a few days ago.¡±

 Chapter 955 - The Princess Is the Most Infuriating

    <h4>Chapter 955: The Princess Is the Most Infuriating</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. A woman with neat short hair was walking up the steps. This woman was extremely young, but her eyes were sharp. She looked like a domineering person.

    Jun Shiling did not turn around. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was sizing up the person behind him, he pinched her face. ¡°Go in. It¡¯s cold outside. I¡¯ll pick you upter.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything. She nodded and entered the school building. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure disappear at the elevator, Jun Shiling turned around and left.

    Watching Jun Shiling leave coldly, the short-haired woman was not angry. She only sneered softly. ¡°The head of the Jun family indeed has the right to be arrogant.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan went upstairs. Just as she sat in the meeting room, Jun Shiling sent her a WeChat message.

    Jun Shiling: ¡°That woman just now is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She just returned from America. Ignore her.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had once heard Jun Shiling mention that among the few big families in China, the Jiang family had always been at odds with the other families, but their foundation was very deep, especially in the past few years, when they had expanded rapidly. If not for Jun Shiling leading the Jun family to suppress them, the Jiang family in Beijing should have already developed into the number one family.

    The Jiang family had a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter, Jiang Yun, had grown up in America. It was said that she had a deep rtionship with the big families in America and was an important tentacle of the Jiang family overseas.

    Now, the Jiang family was actually willing to call their eldest daughter back to the country. There was probably going to be a storm in the capital.

    Her thoughts changed. Xia Wanyuan had already gone through the rtionship between these families in her mind. Then, Xia Wanyuan sent Jun Shiling a message: You meet again? You¡¯ve met before? (italics)

    Jun Shiling, who had already left the school gate, saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s message and did not know whether tough or cry. She was fooling around again. (italics)

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow and was about to reply when an extremely invasive perfume smell came from beside her. She turned around and saw that Jiang Yun was already sitting beside her.

    Jiang Yun had short hair, and the exquisite suit made her look capable and neat. She smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡±

    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    Seemingly surprised that Xia Wanyuan had recognized her, Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re very beautiful.¡±

    ¡°Miss Jiang, your perfume smells good.¡±

    Not far away, Principal Yang was waving at Xia Wanyuan. After saying this, Xia Wanyuan stood up and left.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, Jiang Wan suddenly smiled. ¡°As expected of the woman Jun Shiling likes.¡±

    Jiang Yun had been sent to America since she was young. Although the Jiang family was powerful, their influence in America was not great. Jiang Yun had rooted the Jiang family¡¯s business in America at a young age. She was extraordinary and had seen countless people.

    After seeing Xia Wanyuan, she understood why her father was so anxious to recall her from America.

    Jun Shiling was already difficult enough to deal with. With Xia Wanyuan, who had the Wei family behind her, if they did not do their best, the Jiang family would only be suppressed by the Jun family forever.

    This meeting was hosted by the Qing University. Therge meeting room was filled with professors from all over the country.

    Principal Yang wanted to sit Xia Wanyuan in the first row with them, but just as he called Xia Wanyuan over, someone behind him said something sour.

    ¡°A noble field like literature shouldn¡¯t be polluted by the stench of copper. A person without a core thesis can still sit in the first row.¡± The person who spoke was an old pedant from a university in the south.

    Everyone heard the teacher¡¯s words and theirplicated gazesnded on Xia Wanyuan, who was standing in front.

    Everyone had heard that Xia Wanyuan was the wife of the Jun Corporation, but in the academic world, intellectuals always had their own aloofness.

    In the eyes of the outside world, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity was glorious, but in the eyes of these old pedants, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity was a burden. This identity tainted noble literature.

    Xia Wanyuan nced back and realized that although many people did not say anything like this old man, their eyes betrayed their inner thoughts.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at them coldly.

    Under everyone¡¯s gazes, she pulled out the chair in the first row and sat down leisurely, causing the people behind to be furious.

 Chapter 956 - The Princessâ€™s Transformation

    <h4>Chapter 956: The Princess¡¯s Transformation</h4>

    ¡°Why are young people like this nowadays? The world is really degenerating.¡±

    ¡°I remember when I was young, I didn¡¯t even have a seat when I attended lectures. I could only stand in thest row by the wall. I still felt that it was a great honor. I¡¯m not like the people now. Tsk tsk.¡±

    Before the exchange began, everyone was whispering behind her, and their voices reached Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears.

    Principal Yang frowned. As the organizer, he could not say much to these teachers who hade from afar. He could only turn around andfort Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wanyuan, don¡¯t take it to heart. These old schrs are very sour.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Principal, I don¡¯t mind these words.¡±

    The meeting finally began. This meeting was mainly to discuss the update of the school materials.

    In order to ensure that the university¡¯s teaching materials improved with the times, they would gather experts and professors from all over the country every year to discuss.

    Knowledge was being updated, and there might be mistakes in the content of the past textbooks. Everyone discussed item by item, and the meeting room was in full swing.

    Xia Wanyuan listened to everyone¡¯s discussion seriously and felt that she had learned a lot.

    ¡°Wanyuan, what do you think?¡± When they encountered a problem that they could not convince the other party, they subconsciously asked Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Teacher Zhang, do you still need to ask a person who has been fired and doesn¡¯t even have a job title?¡± The teacher from Nancheng University looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully.

    Nancheng University and Qing Datong were the top universities in China. Qing University specialized in science and could be said to be the engine of China¡¯s industrial talents. Nancheng University, which was located in Jiangnan, had always been good at literature and had produced many masters.

    The two universities faced each other in the north and south. Neither had ever submitted to the other.

    ¡°Teacher Lin, what are you saying? Although Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have a professional title, she¡¯s knowledgeable and talented. The ancient people even said that there must be a teacher within three people.¡± Professor Zhang rolled his eyes in his heart.

    Nancheng University had always been arrogant because of their advantage in humanities. Every time they interacted, they would put on a high and mighty appearance. The teachers of Qing University smiled, but they were actually annoyed by these people in their hearts.

    ¡°For so many years, everyone has been wondering. You said that the science department of Qing University is leading in the country, but the humanities department is like a sprained ankle. From the looks of it, if Qing University wants to improve the humanities department as soon as possible, but you still have to raise the selection standards of professors.¡±

    Professor Lin Yu¡¯s words not only mocked Xia Wanyuan, but also scolded the professors of Qing University.

    The reason why the liberal arts major of Qing University was bad was because the standards for professors were low.?<i>Didn¡¯t that mean that the standards of the liberal arts teachers of Qing University were also bad??</i>

    The teachers of the Qing University were furious, but everyone present was a schr who wanted face. They still smiled andmunicated with each other.

    Because of Professor Lin¡¯s words, in the meetingter, everyone spoke with a gun and stick.

    Schrs did not scold each other directly. They used all sorts of allusions and insinuations. They were so angry that their faces and necks were red. They even smiled and spoke softly.

    Xia Wanyuan listened attentively to the professional knowledge in the first half of the meeting, while she watched the teachers secretlypete in amusement in the second half.

    ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s meeting.¡±

    Finally, it was time to get off work. The teachers, who had been arguing for a long time, temporarily calmed the war.

    ¡°Everyone, please follow the staff to the restaurant. The Qing University has already prepared a hotel room for everyone.¡±

    As soon as Principal Yang finished speaking, the staff led the teachers from Nancheng University out of the meeting room.

    Not only did Qing University and Nancheng Universitypete in academics, but they also had topare in other aspects. For example, this time, when they received the delegation from Nancheng University, Qing University gave them an extremely high reception standard, afraid that Nancheng University did not know that they were rich and imposing.

    The amount that the country allocated to Nancheng University every year was simr to that of Qing University, and the reception level of Nancheng University was not low. However, when the delegation from Nancheng University arrived at the vi area that Qing University had prepared for them, they were still stunned.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the Qing University¡¯s budget is used to do these superficial projects?¡± Lin Yu looked at these vis sourly.?<i>People in academia should be willing to be poor. Doing, these fancy things, it¡¯s no wonder the Qing University produced some dull people who only knew science.?</i>

    ¡°Professor Lin, you must be joking.¡± Professor Zhang chuckled. ¡°These vis were prepared for everyone by our school¡¯s Professor Xia. Originally, the school prepared hotels for everyone, but after Professor Xia heard about it, she automatically contributed these vis as a ce for the teachers to stay for the exchange.¡±

    Lin Yu frowned. ¡°Professor Xia? The wife of that copper-smelling businessman?¡±

    Professor Zhang¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Professor Lin, your words are a little disrespectful.¡±

    Lin Yu pursed his lips pointlessly. ¡°As academics, we should be willing to be poor and not be confused by external things. If we only want to enjoy ourselves every day, how can we have the mood to study and nurture people? I won¡¯t live in this house. We have subsidies for business trips, and I strictly follow them.¡±

    As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

    The remaining teachers of Nancheng University also left. Even if a small portion of them wanted to stay in the vi, after Lin Yu¡¯s words, they could not show their thoughts and left with Lin Yu.

    ¡°Professor Zhang, this?¡± The staff looked at each other and finally looked at Professor Zhang.

    ¡°Who cares about them?¡± Professor Zhang could not be bothered to chase after them. ¡°Since they want to stay in a hotel, let them be. What¡¯s wrong with being rich? They¡¯re really pedantic.¡±

    At the school entrance, Xia Wanyuan stood by the roadside and waited for Jun Shiling toe over.

    ¡°Are you cold?¡± Jun Shiling could finally get out of the car openly to pick Xia Wanyuan up. With a smile in his eyes, he pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand over.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s go,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she leaned against Jun Shiling. Beside Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan had always been boneless.

    Just as the two of them were about to get into the car, a timid voice suddenly came from behind.

    ¡°Brother, Sister, can you lend me a dor?¡±

 Chapter 957 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 957: Untitled</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. Not far away stood a thin and small youth who looked to be no more than fifteen years old.

    Xia Wanyuan had always had the habit of keeping cash in her bag, so she took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the young man. The young man reached out to take it, but he had no intention of leaving. He still stood on the spot and looked at Xia Wanyuan carefully.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked softly.

    ¡°Sister, can you lend me half a million?¡± The young man bit his lip, his eyes dim.

    ¡°Hey, girl, don¡¯t believe him. I know this child. His family lives in that neighborhood. The price of the house there is 100,000 yuan per square meter, but there¡¯s no market for it. His father works in the Qing University canteen. I heard from his father that this child likes to go online. Don¡¯t be deceived by him.¡± The old man at the stall saw that Xia Wanyuan had taken out a hundred yuan, afraid that she would be too kind and be deceived.

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll pay you back.¡± The young man clenched his fists and lowered his head. His voice was suppressed.

    ¡°Five hundred thousand, how are you going to return it? Miss, ignore him. His father said that this child is mentally ill. He¡¯s squatting at the door every day to borrow money from others. What¡¯s the use of a child like him taking so much money?¡±

    The young man seemed to be unable to endure such humiliation. He gritted his teeth tightly, and his face was pale from the cold. He looked up at Xia Wanyuan. He knew that Xia Wanyuan and the man beside her were very rich.

    They were hisst hope.

    ¡°Get in. It¡¯s so cold.¡± Touching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold hand, Jun Shiling pulled her into the car.

    Seeing the car door close, the young man turned around and left sadly.

    After so many days, he was already used to such a scene. After all, who would lend 500,000 yuan to a stranger like him for no reason?

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice sounded behind him.

    The young man turned around in surprise and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan handed him a check. ¡°There¡¯s six hundred thousand in here.¡±

    The young man took it, his eyes filled with disbelief. ¡°I¡¯ll pay you back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and closed the car window.

    The young man watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car gradually leave his sight. Then, he looked down at the check in his hand and suddenly ran quickly with an excited smile on his face.

    The stall owner was dumbfounded. ¡°How can this be? How can there be such a stupid rich person?¡±

    In the car, Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Madam, you¡¯re doing one good deed every day?¡±

    ¡°You can tell, right? That child doesn¡¯t look like a liar.¡± The person who was clearly not poor in others¡¯ mouths was actually covered in reeds. Looking at the bulging clothes, they couldn¡¯t even be considered a cotton shirt. No wonder he looked so cold even though he was wearing thick clothes.

    Jun Shiling did notment. He was not a sympathetic person, but Xia Wanyuan was.

    On the other side of the city, the slender young man took out the money, left a hundred-dor bill in his pocket, and deposited the rest into a bank card.

    After leaving the bank, the young man went to the butcher market and bought an extremely sharp knife used to kill pigs.

    The next morning, just as Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Qing Gate, she saw police carsing and going. The surrounding people were discussing.

    ¡°It¡¯s said that the child ran away after killing his father. The police searched all night but couldn¡¯t find him.¡±

    ¡°How much hatred does he have? I heard that he stabbed him more than two hundred times. When he carried him out, he didn¡¯t even look human anymore. Aiyo.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, don¡¯t look at that Old Li¡¯s usually honest appearance. I heard from my nephew who¡¯s a police officer that that person is very domineering at home. His wife was crippled by him. That child usually suffers a lot of beatings. He probably can¡¯t take it anymore. Sigh, he has a hard life.¡±

    Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Xia Wanyuan inexplicably thought of the arrogant youth yesterday. She shook off the thoughts in her mind and walked into the school.

    After the morning meeting, when Xia Wanyuan left the school gate, the police car had already left. It was said that there was no trace of the young man.

    At this moment, on the sea, the young man hiding on the deck of the cargo ship sensed the salty smell outside and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had already escaped from China.

    Thinking of his mother with a broken arm, the young man secretly wiped his tears.

    However, he had already ended that beast with his own hands. The house left behind by the beast belonged to his mother, and he had left six hundred thousand yuan in cash for her. ording to his mother¡¯s thriftiness, the rest of her life would not be worse than now.

    The young man looked through the deck and secretly looked at the blue sky outside. He thought to himself that he would bring his mother over when he earned money overseas.

    However, he, who was below deck, did not know that this cargo ship was actually a long-term human trafficking business in the name of delivery.

    Countless Chinese people in the cabin who were dreaming of getting rich did not know what kind of purgatory they would be brought to.

    On the deck, Jayce was on the phone respectfully with Yu Qian.

    ¡°King, we brought a boat of people from China. We¡¯ll be in Continent F the day after tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian looked at the moving creatures under the microscope and listened to Jayce¡¯s report. ¡°Bring the younger ones back for me to experiment on. Pack the rest and sell them to the sea sharks.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Jayce replied respectfully.

    ¡°Did you bring back the video I asked you to bring?¡± After destroying the specimen on the loading tform, Yu Qian stood up and took off his gloves.

    ¡°Yes, I brought back all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s videos and lessons.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian did not say anything else and hung up.

    Jayce looked at the various films in the box in confusion. He had never been able to guess Yu Qian¡¯s thoughts.

    ]After returning from China, Yu Qian would watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s videos and listen to her albums asionally.

    Jayce had thought that King had taken a liking to this beautiful Chinese woman, butter on, all the signs showed that King was not someone who would have romantic feelings.

    There was only emptiness and coldness in his eyes, without any warmth.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the country,

    The Chinese Literature Exchange was still held in the afternoon. When Xia Wanyuan entered, she could clearly feel that the hostility towards her had deepened.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow<i>. I don¡¯t think I did anything? Why did I attract hatred again??</i>

    What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that the delegation from Nancheng University had originally wanted to use the school¡¯s travel funds to book a hotel for herself. Unexpectedly, Qing University was located in the city center and was adjacent to Financial Street. The surrounding hotels were terrifyingly expensive. If they stayed in a hotel far away, they would not be able to rush to the school for a meeting on time.

    Everyone had no choice but to pay for the difference themselves. Otherwise, they could only stay in a guest house with a poor environment.

    The literature teachers of Nancheng University had always prided themselves on being virtuous and was usually very thrifty. This time, they had spent thousands of yuan to book a hotel for no reason. Everyone med all of this on Xia Wanyuan. When they saw her, they thought of the thousands of yuan they had wasted.

    Looking at the bag Xia Wanyuan was carrying, a knowledgeable teacher knew that this bag was worth many days of staying in a hotel. He felt unbnced. ¡°Teacher Xia, you¡¯re really rich. This bag isn¡¯t cheap, right?¡±

    ¡°This bag is a limited edition. It costs hundreds of thousands.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, a teacher had already answered for her.

    ¡°Yo, so rich. I wonder how much you¡¯ve contributed to the school?¡± Lin Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan in disgust.?<i>A bag cost hundreds of thousands. There were so many poor people in China. This bag was enough to feed others for many years.?</i>

    ¡°Of course I have money. As for my contribution to the school, Teacher Lin, you reminded me.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Lin Yu and smiled. She looked at Principal Yang, who was standing at the side. ¡°Principal, the Jun family donated five billion this year.¡±

 Chapter 958 - Love and Family Variety

    <h4>Chapter 958: Love and Family Variety</h4>

    Principal Yang, who was watching the show, was suddenly hit in the head by this great news. He reacted and hurriedly smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Aiya, our school¡¯s library iscking funds to repair it. Your money was donated at the right time!¡±

    Lin Yu did not expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reaction to be like this.

    The Qing University and Nancheng University had renovated the library at the same timest year. The two universities, who had alwayspeted in all aspects, even had the same number of floors in the library. ording to the funds allocated by the Education Bureau, the two universities barely maintained the bnce.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s five billion yuan was clearly a physical cheat for Qing University.

    ¡°You¡¯re showing off your wealth to get people to like you.¡± Lin Yu could not stand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unting of her wealth.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled at him, revealing her shallow dimples. ¡°I have no choice. I have a lot of money.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s obvious mockery, Lin Yu was furious. ¡°No wonder you don¡¯t have a core thesis. You¡¯re so impetuous. How can you do well?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was still calm. ¡°It¡¯s just a thesis. What¡¯s so difficult about it?¡±

    ¡°What arrogance!¡± Lin Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. He really did not know where this young woman¡¯s confidence came from.?<i>Core papers did note with money.?</i>

    ¡°I have no choice. I¡¯m rich, capable, and young.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Lin Yu.

    She was an expert at ying with people¡¯s hearts. To someone like Lin Yu, he wanted her to admit whatever he criticized. Furthermore, the more casual and sarcastic she acted, the angrier Lin Yu would be.

    As expected, Lin Yu was so angry that he could not even speak.

    In the following meeting, Xia Wanyuan listened veryfortably. Whether the others werefortable or not was not within her consideration.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jiang family in Beijing.

    Jiang Yun was dressed in a ck suit and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her indifferently. ¡°Fifty-fifty? Those who don¡¯t know might think that my Jiang family is begging your Wei family.¡±

    The wrinkles on Wei Zhong¡¯s face trembled. ¡°Miss Jiang, what are you saying? Aren¡¯t we all trying to obtain greater benefits?¡±

    Jiang Yun threw the coffee spoon in her hand away. The spoonnded on the table with a crisp sound. ¡°The Wei family¡¯s main businesses are all in the hands of Old Madam. CEO Wei, do you really take the Jiang family for fools? Since you need my help, you have to look like you¡¯re begging me.¡±

    Wei Zhong¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He had thought that this youngdy from the Jiang family would be easy to deal with at such a young age, but who would have thought that it was not the case at all?

    ¡°Then what do you want?¡±

    ¡°My Jiang family can join forces with you and make an agreement. Thirty, seventy. Otherwise, there¡¯s no need to talk.¡±

    In the past, Wei Zhong would not have agreed at all. But now, ording to the news from the Wei family¡¯s courtyard in the capital, the olddy indeed had the thought of handing the Wei family to that outsider.

    If they did not do anything, the Wei family would be upied by outsiders.

    Wei Zhong nodded ruthlessly. ¡°Okay!¡±

    Jiang Yun finally smiled and extended a hand to Wei Zhong. ¡°Happy cooperation.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The poprity of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship gradually faded, reced by another topic.

    In the past few years, domestic reality shows had been very popr. Through reality shows, the audience could understand the guests¡¯ appearance after they left the screen at a close distance. It satisfied the audience¡¯s curiosity about the lives of celebrities and was thus very popr.

    The new season¡¯s ¡°We¡¯re Out ying¡± had already begun the guest rmendation stage. The program organizers would consider choosing guests ording to the audience¡¯s choices.

    In the past, countless ns would appear in this selection stage.

    In this year¡¯s rmendation vote, 99% of the people chose the option of ¡°Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡±.

 Chapter 959 - CEO Jun Accompanying the Princess to Class

    <h4>Chapter 959: CEO Jun Apanying the Princess to ss</h4>

    There were not many scenes of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan at the Spring Festival G, but thisbination of a domineering CEO and his little wife had always been loved by the audience. Furthermore, there was a cute little baby.

    [Please, please, even in my dreams, I want to see CEO Jun and Yuan Yuan¡¯s daily interactions. I¡¯ve never seen a real domineering CEO. Please satisfy me.]

    [ It¡¯s best if you can bring the cute baby. Is it serious to look like that? Indeed, when good-looking people are with good-looking people, they will only give birth to even cuter people. ]

    [Sigh, I feel that the two of them won¡¯t participate in such a program. After all, they don¡¯tck money and don¡¯t need to be exposed. How miserable is it to be a fan of an idol who doesn¡¯tck money or poprity? Other people¡¯s idols have all sorts of businesses to please their fans. Our idol just cares if she¡¯s happy.]

    Not only did the audience want to see Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling participate in the reality show together, but all the major television stations also nced at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone knew that as long as they could invite the two of them, the viewership ratings of the show would definitely explode.

    However, with Jun Shiling¡¯s identity, no one dared to ask openly.

    Hence, Chen Yun had be a popr person in the entertainment industry recently.

    A year ago, Chen Yun had even begged everyone for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work. He had been treated coldly by all sorts of people and even wanted to pay them to let Xia Wanyuan appear on a variety show on a city-level television station.

    Now, all the popr variety shows in the country hade to Xia Wanyuan to participate in the show with high pay and had to line up to beg him.

    After swiping away the words ¡°Brother Chen, help me¡±, Chen Yun could not help but sigh. ¡°What goes aroundes around.¡±

    Chen Yun knew very well that Xia Wanyuan was the person who had defied the heavens and changed Feng Shui. Facing countless bribes, Chen Yun ignored them all and organized all the programs into a form to send to Xia Wanyuan.

    The final decision was still in Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s hands. In Chen Yun¡¯s opinion, Jun Shiling did not look like someone who would participate in such a show.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was flipping through books and writing a thesis. Jun Shiling was holding her phone.

    ¡°Baby, this ¡®Let¡¯s Go Out¡¯ is not bad. Shall we go?¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and leaned on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder felt itchy from his rubbing. She smiled and dodged forward, but Jun Shiling hugged her back.

    ¡°You decide. But we¡¯re both busy. We have to discuss the time.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll apany you to ss, okay?¡± Jun Shiling put down his phone and wrapped his hand around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist.

    ¡°Why are you apanying me to ss? Don¡¯t you have to work?¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to remove Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, but he grabbed it.

    ¡°I want to go.¡± Jun Shiling would not tell Xia Wanyuan that he had heard that there was a confession wall on the Qing University Forum, and it was filled with young people confessing to Xia Wanyuan anonymously.

    ¡°Alright,e if you want.¡±

    It was time for Xia Wanyuan to start ss again. The ssroom was already filled with students.

    ¡°I wonder what ss Professor Xia is going to teach today. I¡¯ve been looking forward to it for a week. I can see Professor Xia again.¡±

    ¡°Tsk tsk, are you here for ss? I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re here to see the goddess. Look at how shy you are when you talk about Professor Xia. Brother, wake up. The goddess already has a husband and a child.¡±

    The school bell rang. Everyone stopped discussing and looked outside the door expectantly, waiting for Xia Wanyuan to arrive.

    Xia Wanyuan stepped into the ssroom as the bell rang.

    However, beside her was the handsome Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling often held a high position and had a cold and decisive aura. The moment he entered, he gave off a substantial pressure. This aura was something that the students in the ivory tower could notpare to.

    The female students were dumbfounded as they stared at Jun Shiling.

    The male students¡¯ hearts shattered. As men, how could they not feel the strong sense of invasion from Jun Shiling?

    Jun Shiling sat at the side. Xia Wanyuan walked to the podium. ¡°Good morning, everyone. ss has begun.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak for the entire ss, but even though he was sitting there quietly, he still had an imposing aura, causing the students to not dare to speak. The huge ssroom was silent.

    Xia Wanyuan was in ss, quoting ssics and saying everything in a smooth manner. She seemed to be glowing, exuding an alluring confidence and charm from the inside out. Jun Shiling looked at her seriously with a gentle smile that he did not notice.

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s lesson. There are still ten minutes. Does anyone have any questions?¡±

    Everyone was silent for a while. Finally, a student raised his hand and boldly asked the question that everyone wanted to ask. ¡°Professor Xia, did CEO Jun speciallye to apany you in ss today?¡±

 Chapter 960 - Proclaiming Sovereignty; Dog Food Till Full

    <h4>Chapter 960: Proiming Sovereignty; Dog Food Till Full</h4>

    Finally, someone asked the question. It was as if an opening had been cut in the ice, and the others followed suit.

    On the podium, when she heard the students¡¯ questions, a hint of embarrassment appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She smiled at Jun Shiling.

    She was like a water lotus, shy and cold.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, the male students¡¯ hearts broke even more.

    ¡°If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.¡± Jun Shiling, who had been silent for a period, finally spoke, attracting all the firepower to him.

    ¡°CEO Jun, how did you and Professor Xia meet?¡± Gossip defeated fear. A bold student mustered his courage and asked Jun Shiling.

    ¡°In the dining room. Love at first sight.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, will youe again in the future?¡±

    ¡°Ie every day. I send Madam to work in the morning and pick her up from work at night,¡± Jun Shiling said as his gazended on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wow!¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s answer, everyone cheered even more.

    After answering a few more questions, the bell rang. Everyone bid farewell to Xia Wanyuan reluctantly. Jun Shiling went forward to take his bag and apanied Xia Wanyuan out.

    It was the peak period for sses to end, and the school was filled with people.

    The usually noisy campus was now so quiet that it was as if someone had pressed the mute button.

    It had snowed heavily yesterday, and the road was covered in thick snow. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a snow-white down jacket embroidered with plum flowers and a furry scarf that covered half of her face. Beside her was the tall and cold Jun Shiling in a ck coat.

    Everyone seemed to be walking normally, but their gazes were on Xia Wanyuan, who was not far away.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing snow boots. She held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and stepped on the pit in the snow. The snow was very deep. When Xia Wanyuan stepped on it, the snow crunched.

    With one step, there was a footprint. Xia Wanyuan jumped and stepped on the snow. Jun Shiling slowed down and followed her, cing a hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist to prevent her from slipping.

    Beside the two of them, the red plum blossom was emitting a fragrance. At this moment, under the contrast of their faces, the proud plum blossom seemed to have lost its color.

    The onlookers:?<i>Boohoo, this dog food is really filling!?</i>

    They walked to a road with fewer pedestrians. The snow on this road had already frozen. Xia Wanyuan did not want to walk anymore and handed her hand to Jun Shiling. ¡°Drag me along.¡±

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was yful, Jun Shiling yed along with her. Xia Wanyuan squatted on the ground, and Jun Shiling pulled her hand and slid forward.

    Snow began to fall from the sky. Jun Shiling turned around and saw snowkesnding on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyshes. Under her eyshes, there was a sparkling smile in her eyes.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He leaned down and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Naughty.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled until her dimples appeared. She stood up and held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°I want to eat hotpot for lunch.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Jun Shiling replied.

    Although there were few people on this road, there were many sses in the surrounding teaching buildings. The students secretly looked out of the windows upstairs and captured this scene and posted it online.

    There was no doubt that a new storm had arisen.

    The news of Jun Shiling apanying Xia Wanyuan to ss had already been trending. When the video of the two of them ying in the snow was released, theizens cried from the sweetness.

    [Ahhh!! I¡¯ve never seen such a cute Xia Wanyuan!!!]

    [Oh my god!! The scene of Jun Shiling bending down to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes!! I¡¯ve only seen it in Korean dramas. Quick, take my venttor. I¡¯m going to die of sweetness.]

    [Please do a variety show. I¡¯m really not afraid of dog food.]

    As theizens shouted and knocked over this pot of dog food, they cried and begged the ¡°Wan Shi Studio¡± to arrange a reality show for Xia Wanyuan.

    As everyone begged, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

    [ Wan Shi ???? ?? ??? ]

    [Xia Wanyuan? Jun Shiling? Wan Shi Studio? As expected, dog food is everywhere.]

    On campus, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to her office.

    The colleagues looked at the legendary head of the Jun Corporation silently.

    ¡°Thank you for taking care of my wife. I¡¯ve prepared a small gift for everyone in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re too kind.¡± The colleagues were a little stunned. They wanted to be polite, but when they thought of the gift Jun Shiling had given them, they were afraid that it would be gone after being polite.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡± Jun Shiling took off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scarf and kissed her forehead before turning to leave.

    After Jun Shiling left, his colleagues surrounded Xia Wanyuan and interrogated heryer byyer. They only stopped when Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed.

    Jun Shiling had just arrived at thepany when he received a message from Xia Wanyuan.

    Baby:<i>?Are you happy to dere your sovereignty?</i>

    Jun Shiling:?<i>Not bad.?</i>

    Baby:<i>?¡­ In addition to the hotpot, I want another ice cream.?</i>

    Jun Shiling:?<i>Hot pot is fine, but no ice cream.</i>

    Baby: (The cat ignores people¡¯s emoticon)

    Jun Shiling:?<i>Good girl.</i>

    On the Inte, from the fans begging together at the beginning to the school video being released, the entire Inte had suggested that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan participate in the reality show.

    Although no one had much hope, Jun Shiling did not look like someone who would participate in such an entertainment show.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise,

    That night, Wan Shi studio released a post.

    Wan Shi Studio: ¡°Thank you for your concern. CEO Jun and Yuan Yuan will participate in the next season¡¯s ¡®Let¡¯s Go Out¡¯.¡±

    At first, everyone thought that someone had impersonated the studio to gain poprity. Although everyone had been petitioning, no one felt that Jun Shiling was willing to participate in such a program.

    It was only when everyone clicked into the studio and saw the official verification that they believed it was true.

    [Ahhh!! I¡¯m crazy! This feeling of a beautiful dreaming true!]

    [ When! I can¡¯t wait! ]

    [What I¡¯m concerned about is whether you can bring the little cutie along! I really want to see the little baby. That child is too cute.]

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were already the top trending figures on the Inte. Before this reality show began recording, it was already publicized by theizens. In fact, because it was too popr, it even triggered reports from foreign media.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The first month was not over yet, and the entire city was still immersed in a festive atmosphere.

    ¡°Bastard.¡±

    The familiar voice came from the phone. (The number you called is switched off.) An Rao pursed her lips and touched her stomach in disappointment.

    An Rao rejected Xia Wanyuan¡¯s invitation and insisted on living alone in her and Bo Xiao¡¯s house.

    For the sake of the child, An Rao lived very regrly every day and ate healthily. She actively did prenatal education every day and learned parenting knowledge, not allowing herself any chance to idle.

    Because once she was free, she could not help but think of Bo Xiao.

    Over the past few days, there had been no news of Bo Xiao.

    The ring on her hand reflected a bright light under the sunlight. An Rao looked at the ring and thought of the scene when Bo Xiao proposed to her. Her heart ached.

    ¡°I miss you so much,¡± An Rao murmured, her eyes gradually filling with tears.

    The sound of the door opening came from outside. An Rao looked at the time. It was time for lunch again. Her assistant must have sent food over.

    An Rao hurriedly wiped her tears, but the more she wiped, the more aggrieved she felt.

    She thought of the days when she lived with Bo Xiao.

    Although Bo Xiao always despised her for being picky and said that he would not make it for her, there would always be something she wanted to eat on the table.

    Bo Xiao looked unrestrained, but he was actually very meticulous. He would remember her preferences and apany her to work to make her happy.

    She was used to the days with Bo Xiao. Now that Bo Xiao¡¯s life and death wAS unknown, the more An Rao thought about it, the sadder she became. She could not wipe away her tears at all.

    Footsteps came from behind. An Rao tried her best to make her voice sound normal, but there was still a thick nasal sound. ¡°Put the food in the living room. I¡¯ll eatter.¡±

    The footsteps behind her were still approaching. An Rao wiped her tears and turned around with swollen eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat you now, leave-¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, An Rao was stunned.

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his eyes shed with heartache. He opened his hand to her and a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Idiot.¡±

    An Rao pinched her hand.?<i>It hurt.</i>

    <i>It was true!</i>

    An Rao stood up and pounced into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. Bo Xiao¡¯s cold aura instantly surrounded her. An Rao buried herself in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms and cried. ¡°Wuwuwuwuwu.¡±

    ¡°Are you a little train?¡± Bo Xiao smiled and stroked An Rao¡¯s head. His tone was doting, but there was no emotion in his beautiful fox eyes. They were cold.

    ¡°I miss you so much.¡± Feeling the warmth from Bo Xiao, An Rao¡¯s heart finally settled.

    ¡°I miss you too.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and held An Rao¡¯s waist.

    The two of them snuggled for a while. An Rao suddenly pulled Bo Xiao¡¯s hand and ced it on her stomach. ¡°Bo Xiao, do you feel anything?¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao¡¯s bright eyes that were filled with attachment and joy for him. Bo Xiao seemed to be very ufortable and frowned slightly. However, he quickly hid it and the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°No, why?¡±

    An Rao buried herself shyly in Bo Xiao¡¯s chest. ¡°Bo Xiao, there¡¯s a baby inside.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Bo Xiao looked very surprised and looked happily at An Rao¡¯s stomach.

    An Rao nodded and pounced into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°Are you still going out this time?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll apany you at home.¡±

 Chapter 962 - Reversal

    <h4>Chapter 962: Reversal</h4>

    Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s words, An Rao jumped happily in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. She looked up at Bo Xiao, her face filled with attachment. ¡°Are you injured? Are you hungry?¡±

    Bo Xiao hesitated for a moment and smiled at An Rao. ¡°I¡¯m fine. After I got lost in the mountains, I found a ce to stay. Later on, myrades found me.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± An Rao touched her stomach. ¡°Are you happy to have a baby?¡±

    Bo Xiao lowered his head and looked at An Rao¡¯s stomach. His eyes were a little frozen. ¡°Mm, I¡¯m happy. I¡¯ll make something for you.¡±

    With that, Bo Xiao took his hand off An Rao¡¯s waist and left the room.

    An Rao wanted to say something to Bo Xiao, but before she could react, Bo Xiao left. An Rao was stunned for a moment, but she still did not say anything. She chased after Bo Xiao and held his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll cook with you.¡±

    In the past, Bo Xiao would usually cook while An Rao chattered with him.

    Unexpectedly, just as An Rao grabbed Bo Xiao¡¯s hand, Bo Xiao pulled it out and smiled at her. ¡°There¡¯s a lot of oil and smoke in the kitchen. Go to the living room and wait first.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao missed Bo Xiao too much and wanted to spend more time with him. ¡°Since you¡¯re back, let¡¯s go to Yuan Yuan¡¯s house for dinner in a few days. Everyone is worried about you.¡±

    In the kitchen, Bo Xiao frowned. ¡°In a few days then. I have something to do in the military in the next few days.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± An Rao did not think too much about it. She picked up the remote control and turned on the television.

    After she got pregnant, An Rao became very sleepy. Not long after, An Rao fell asleep on the sofa.

    When Bo Xiao came out to get something, he nced at An Rao, who was on the sofa.

    An Rao was curled up in a nket with her shoulders exposed.

    Bo Xiao looked at her quietly for a while, then went forward to pull the nket up and carefully tuck her in.

    ]Bo Xiao, I miss you so much,¡± An Rao muttered softly with an uneasy frown.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s hand that was pulling the nket paused. After a while, he stood up and left.

    When he returned to the kitchen, the sound of chopping vegetables was clearly much softer.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan had also received An Rao¡¯s message. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Bo Xiao is back?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°He lost his direction deep in the mountains. We searched for him for nearly a month before we found him.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great. An Rao can be rest assured that Bo Xiao can return safely.¡± Xia Wanyuan heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Is Xia Yu okay?¡±

    Ever since Xia Yu entered the special forces, his movements had been erratic. Last time, he had finally returned and disappeared in the middle of the night. He had not called home for so long.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s in China. He¡¯s very safe, but he works in confidentiality.¡± Jun Shiling typed non-stop as he answered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was busy, Xia Wanyuan put down her book and slowly left the room. When she closed the door, she saw Jun Shiling seriously marking documents.

    Xia Wanyuan quietly went downstairs and waved at Mother Li, who was not far away. ¡°Mother Li, where¡¯s the thing I asked you to hidest time?¡±

    Mother Li looked troubled. ¡°Madam, Young Master instructed me not to let you eat those cold things.¡±

    <i>If anything happened, who could withstand Jun Shiling¡¯s anger??</i>

    However, Xia Wanyuan had never eaten modern ice cream before. The ice cream that Jun Shiling had gotten the chef to specially make suited her taste very well. Xia Wanyuan was very greedy. Ignoring Mother Li¡¯s obstruction, she walked straight to the fridge.

    Xia Wanyuan casually flipped through it and found strawberry vani ice cream in a mask box.

    It had been at least three months since she had eaten this. When Xia Wanyuan saw it, her eyes lit up. She tore open the bag and before she could feed it, arge hand reached out from behind and took the entire box away.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around. Behind her stood Jun Shiling, who had been reading documents with a serious expression. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten in a long time.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling was very determined. Furthermore, he had decided this time that no matter how Xia Wanyuan wheedled, he would not agree. After all, thest time Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach hurt was still vivid in his mind.

    ¡°Just one bite, okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation. The food every day was so light. She needed to improve the taste.

    ¡°No,¡± Jun Shiling said as he handed the ice cream to Mother Li. ¡°Take it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very angry and wanted to ignore Jun Shiling.

    The servants looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s angry expression, their eyes filled with kind smiles.

    At first, when Xia Wanyuan arrived at the manor, she was as cold as an iceberg. Everyone was afraid of freezing when they spoke to her, but now, they felt a little loving towards her. Now, Xia Wanyuan had the aura of a spoiled child.

    ¡®¡±You¡¯re too much.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave. Before she left, she even stepped on Jun Shiling¡¯s foot.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s angry back, Jun Shiling shook his head helplessly.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The teachers¡¯ dormitory of Qing University was where the cold plum blossoms bloomed. The red, yellow, and white plum blossoms in the courtyardpeted with each other in beauty. Together with the snow, the fragrance spread into the house.

    However, the people in the house were not in the mood to admire the cold plum fragrance.

    ¡°Father, didn¡¯t we agree to let Grandma help me arrange the marriage?¡± Wei Jin sat upright on the sofa and asked Wei Zhong, who was sitting in front of her, in confusion.

    Wei Zhong frowned and nced at Wei Jin. ¡°Grandma? Do you really think that just because I asked you to call Old Madam Wei ¡®Grandma¡¯, you¡¯re really her granddaughter? Let me tell you, you¡¯re from the second branch. Your biological grandma is buried in the ground.¡±

    ¡°Father, you¡¯ve misunderstood. That¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Wei Zhong had been angered by Jiang Yuan and was very unhappy. ¡°Tonight, at Jiayu Hotel, go and see the young master of the Jiang family. If you can¡¯t take down the young master of the Jiang family this time, quit your job at Qing University immediately and get back to Nanjiang City.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded obediently. The hand in her sleeve tightened slightly. ¡°Yes, Father.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because I asked you to study a little, you don¡¯t know your ce after I sent you to Beijing.¡± Wei Zhong¡¯s sharp gaze was like a sharp knife stabbing Wei Jin. ¡°That Xia Wanyuan, don¡¯t interact with her too much.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Father,¡± Wei Jin lowered her eyes and replied softly.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and walked to the door. Wei Jin chased after him.

    ¡°Father, is Mother¡¯s health okay?¡±

    Wei Zhong continued walking forward in disdain. ¡°As long as you can marry the young master of the Jiang family, I can send your mother to Beijing after you get married.¡±

    The snow in the courtyard was trampled into a mess, and Wei Zhong¡¯s figure disappeared at the door.

    Behind her, the indifferent Wei Jin¡¯s eyes turned red as she grabbed the handkerchief in her hand.

    However, she was only dazed for a moment. It was time for ss. Wei Jinposed herself and walked towards the ssroom.

    As usual, there was a cup of hot coffee sent by Mu Feng on the podium. It was vani-vored.

    The education she had received since she was young was not to drink anything other than water and tea.

    In more than twenty years, she had never crossed the line.

    Thest time she had a meal with Mu Feng, she tried a small mouthful and felt that it tasted good.

    She had clearly trained for more than twenty years to control her face. She asked herself how Mu Feng could tell that she liked this.

    From then on, every time there was a ss, Mu Feng would bring coffee over.

    Wei Jin looked up. In thest row of the ssroom sat Mu Feng, who had silver hair and was arrogant. Sensing her gaze, Mu Feng looked up and smiled charmingly.

 Chapter 963 - Let Me Eat First

    <h4>Chapter 963: Let Me Eat First</h4>

    Wei Jin did not know why she tacitly allowed Mu Feng to stay by her side. Perhaps Mu Feng had a freedom and spontaneity that she had never experienced.

    She was an extremely reserved person. Perhaps when she walked out, others would praise her for being generous and proper, and they would look down on Mu Feng for being unrestrained.

    However, in her heart, she was actually very envious of Mu Feng. This person had something that she could never have in her life.

    Sensing Wei Jin¡¯s gaze on him, Mu Feng raised an eyebrow. ¡°Hey, Fatty Liu, why do I feel that your future sister-inw has been looking at me especially long today? Have I made any progress in wooing someone?¡±

    Fatty Liu, who was forced toe over every day to be influenced by the smell of books, rolled his eyes. ¡°Brother Mu, it¡¯s been so long. You asked her out for a meal, but she hasn¡¯te out once. Let¡¯s face reality early.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Mu Feng pursed his lips and could not be bothered to talk to Fatty Liu anymore.

    The bell rang. Wei Jin retracted her thoughts and focused on the ss.

    Support our

    Time passed quickly. ¡°ss dismissed. Goodbye, students.¡± The students put away their books and walked out in twos and threes. Wei Jin was also packing her things. After packing all her books, Wei Jin turned to leave, but she suddenly stopped.

    Wei Jin turned around and took away the vani coffee on the table.

    This was the only time in months that she had taken the coffee.

    Mu Feng naturally saw Wei Jin¡¯s actions and hurriedly chased after her. ¡°Ah Jin, I used a thermal device to keep it warm for you. Drink it while it¡¯s hot.¡±

    ¡°Mr. Mu.¡± Wei Jin stopped and looked at Mu Feng. The silver hair on his head shone under the sunlight, looking a little eye-catching.

    ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for a few months. There¡¯s no need to be so distant. Call me Mu Feng, or call me by my nickname. My nickname is Zhuang Zhuang (This name had the meaning of being healthy and fit in Chinese).¡± Although the name was so old-fashioned that Mu Feng did not want to say it out loud, in order to close the distance between him and Wei Jin, Mu Feng still went all out.

    Facing Mu Feng¡¯s thick skin, Wei Jin¡¯s expression froze for a moment. ¡°Mr. Mu, it¡¯s your freedom toe to school for sses, but don¡¯t have any additional thoughts about me in the future. I don¡¯t like you. Don¡¯t interfere in my life anymore.¡±

    After Wei Jin finished speaking, she strode away as if she was afraid of facing something. Mu Feng could not stop her in time.

    ¡°Brother Mu, how is it? Is Sister-inw ignoring you?¡± Fatty Liu finally packed his things and followed, teasing Mu Feng with a smile. However, in the next second, he saw Mu Feng¡¯s expression and suddenly stopped smiling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Mu?¡±

    Mu Feng waved his hand. ¡°Go back yourself. I want to be alone.¡±

    Fatty Liu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he left himself. Mu Feng stood on the spot for a while before walking towards the door. Mu Feng, who was as arrogant as the sun, had a head of silver hair that looked a little dull.

    In a corner not far away, Wei Jin held the still warm milk tea in her hand and sighed softly.

    The phone rang. Wei Jin picked it up. ¡°Hello, Mr. Jiang.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Since she did not get to eat ice cream, Xia Wanyuan began her cold war with Jun Shiling.

    The two of them worked in the study together, but Xia Wanyuan was focused on writing the thesis. No matter how Jun Shiling teased her, she ignored him.

    Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Jun Shiling ended his work and walked over to hug Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°Baby, are you still ignoring me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him pitifully, her gaze making Jun Shilingugh.

    Jun Shiling kissed her. ¡°There¡¯s a restaurant in Beijing that I heard makes good desserts. Can I bring you to eat there tonight?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared again.

    ¡°If I had known it would be so easy to coax you, I would have brought you for afternoon tea in the afternoon.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and leaned down to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to eat? What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan dodged but to no avail.

    ¡°Let me eat some dessert first.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and deepened the kiss.

    Night fell. Wei Jin dressed up and sat in the car, quietly looking at this extremely prosperous city. The lights flickered. She hoped that the car would slow down and the traffic jam wouldst longer.

    However, she had no choice. In the end, she still arrived at the entrance of Jiayu Club.

    Wei Jin got out of the car. Her white coat revealed her gentle temperament, and her picturesque face attracted countless gazes.

    ¡°Miss Wei, Mr. Jiang is already waiting for you inside.¡± The waiter at the door stepped forward and respectfully weed Wei Jin in.

    Wei Jin had just stepped into the door when a ck wee car slowly drove over.

    Xia Wanyuan unintentionally nced out of the window and happened to see a familiar back.

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Look at that person. Is she Wei Jin?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not even look up. ¡°I¡¯m not looking.¡±

    ¡°......¡±

 Chapter 964 - Forced Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 964: Forced Kiss</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan pushed him again. ¡°Look.¡±

    Jun Shiling finally looked up. ¡°It¡¯s her. The Wei family arranged a blind date for her with the eldest young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Kui. They¡¯re eating here.¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at her helplessly. ¡°Did you give me a chance to speak in the afternoon?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled him out of the car. ¡°What kind of person is Jiang Kui?¡±

    ¡°Ruthless.¡±

    By the time Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling entered, Wei Jin had already disappeared into the elevator.

    At this moment, theughter in the clubhouse had already disappeared.

    In just an hour,

    The Jiang, Wei, and Jun families actually appeared at the door one by one.

    This was really a rare scene. Everyone quietly guessed in their hearts.?<i>Could it be that the fewrge families had some secret activities??</i>

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to a private room to eat. The dessert at Jiayu Clubhouse was indeed not bad, and it had a cold texture, but it was not cold. Xia Wanyuan ate very contentedly.

    In the private room next door.

    Jiang Kui, who was dressed in a suit, sat on the seat with a smile on his dark face. ¡°Miss Wei, do you have a bad appetite? You only eat this little?¡±

    Wei Jin smiled and nodded. ¡°My appetite is smaller, so I don¡¯t eat much.¡±

    Her phoenix eyes were half-bent, and her red lips were like cherry blossoms.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s heart skipped a beat. The old man from the Wei family had said that his daughter was a beauty, but he did not believe it. Now that he saw Wei Jin, he did believe it.

    As expected of the daughter raised by the Jiangnan Wei family.

    ¡°I originally wanted to spend more time with you tonight, but I still have something onter. I¡¯ll send you home,¡± Jiang Kui said as he stood up and grabbed Wei Jin¡¯s hand.

    Wei Jin gritted her teeth and subconsciously wanted to shake him off. However, thinking of Wei Zhong¡¯s instructions, Wei Jin did not move and stood up ording to Jiang Kui¡¯s strength.

    The two of them had just walked out of the room when the door of the private room beside them opened. Jun Shiling walked out with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this CEO Jun? Long time no see, CEO Jun.¡±

    At that moment, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan also looked over. When she met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes, Wei Jin wanted to take her hand out of Jiang Kui¡¯s.

    However, Jiang Kui held her hand tightly and did not let her move at all.

    ¡°Cousin.¡± Wei Jin nced at Xia Wanyuan unnaturally.

    ¡°What a coincidence. Not only can I meet CEO Jun, whom I haven¡¯t seen in a hundred years, but I can also meet Madam Jun. In the future, we¡¯ll be family,¡± Jiang Kui said as his gazended on Xia Wanyuan, his eyes revealing obvious amazement.

    Jun Shiling took a step forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan behind him. The cold aura on his body suddenly leaked out, making Jiang Kui not dare to face it head-on. ¡°One family? Is the Jiang family joining the Jun family?¡±

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Can¡¯t the Jun family join the Jiang family?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him coldly and did not say anything else. However, this nce humiliated Jiang Kui.

    Jun Shiling was clearly looking down on him.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Jun Shiling said as he pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and left with her.

    As he watched the two of them leave, ruthlessness shed across Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes. Even he did not know that his nails had dug into Wei Jin¡¯s slender palm.

    Wei Jin did not say a word the entire time and followed Jiang Kui out quietly.

    Jiang Kui drove Wei Jin to the dormitory.

    Jiang Kui led Wei Jin out of the car and took out a jewelry box from his pocket. ¡°Miss Wei, I¡¯m very happy today. I¡¯lle and pick you up for dinner tomorrow night.¡±

    Wei Jin took the box. Inside was a priceless ne. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Jiang.¡±

    Under the dim streetmp, Wei Jin stood gracefully. Even Jiang Kui, who was used to beauty, could not help but feel his heart flutter. He leaned down and wanted to kiss Wei Jin. Wei Jin tilted her head slightly. ¡°Mr. Jiang, I¡¯m not used to this.¡±

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave then.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. Jiang Kui¡¯s car left quickly. Wei Jin stood rooted to the ground and clenched the jewelry box in her hand tightly. After a while, she turned around and walked back.

    However, she stopped after taking a few steps.

    Behind the courtyard door, a piece of silver hair floated in the air, covered by the dim streetmp.

    Wei Jin subconsciously threw the box into her bag and continued walking in.

    She strode over the courtyard door and Mu Feng grabbed her wrist.

    Mu Feng¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°How is he better than me?¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s expression did not change as she turned around calmly. ¡°Mr. Mu, I remember telling you long ago not to disturb me.¡±

    Before Wei Jin could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled over by Mu Feng and pressed against the wall.

    Immediately after, the surging alcohol smell smashed towards her. Mu Feng¡¯s hot breath surrounded her forcefully. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Wei Jin tried to push Mu Feng away, but Mu Feng did not move at all.

    Drunk, Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin, whose eyes were filled with spring water, and suddenly had a crazy idea. He wanted to tear apart Wei Jin¡¯s cold mask and see if there was any ce for him in her heart.

    ¡°Mu Feng, you¡­¡± Anger appeared on Wei Jin¡¯s usually calm face. However, before she could finish speaking, Mu Feng¡¯s lipsnded.

    The winter night turned water into ice. It was clearly an extremely cold day, but Mu Feng¡¯s body was like arge furnace, constantly releasing heat.

    Sensing the faint orchid fragrance on Wei Jin, Mu Feng¡¯s actions became even more intense. It was only when Wei Jin bit his tongue that Mu Feng finally calmed down under the stimtion of the pain.

    He let go of Wei Jin slightly. Wei Jin reached out and pped his face. ¡°You bastard!¡±

    After the drunkenness dissipated a little, Mu Feng woke up. Looking at Wei Jin, whose eyes were filled with tears, Mu Feng was at a loss. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡­¡±

    He thought that Wei Jin would continue to scold him, but to Mu Feng¡¯s surprise, Wei Jin suddenly squatted on the ground and cried loudly. She did not care about her image or makeup.

    This was the first time Wei Jin had cried out loud in her life.

    Mu Feng was stunned. He stepped forward in self-reproach. He wanted to hug Wei Jin, but he was afraid of arousing her disgust, so he only dared to take off his clothes and put them on her. ¡°I was wrong. Can you hit and scold me? Stop crying.¡±

    ¡°Why does everyone have to force me?¡± Wei Jin buried herself in Mu Feng¡¯s clothes and cried uncontrobly, as if she had suffered a huge grievance. Mu Feng¡¯s heart ached as he watched from the side.

    This venting crysted for a long time. It was only when Mu Feng, who was wearing a sweater, was so cold that his limbs were stiff and his hair was covered in a thinyer of ice that Wei Jin stood up.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Rest well.¡± Mu Feng clenched his fists and turned to leave.

    ¡°Come in and have a cup of hot tea before you leave.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s voice was hoarse as she draped Mu Feng¡¯s clothes and walked into the house.

    Mu Feng, who was trembling in the cold winter in a thin sweater, hesitated for a second. In the end, he followed Wei Jin in timidly and dejectedly.

 Chapter 965 - Father and Son Battle

    <h4>Chapter 965: Father and Son Battle</h4>

    Wei Jin¡¯s room was as elegant and quiet as her. However, it was also extremely cold. There were a few stacks of books on the table. Other than that, there was nothing else.

    Wei Jin took off Mu Feng¡¯s clothes and walked to the bathroom to wash the makeup that had been washed away by her tears. She tidied her appearance and returned to the calm andposed Miss Wei before walking out.

    There was a heater in the house, and Mu Feng¡¯s frozen limbs slowly warmed up. His hair, which had a thinyer of ice, also began to be moist and stuck to his temples.

    At that moment, Mu Feng was almost awake. Thinking of Wei Jin, who had cried so sadly just now, Mu Feng was annoyed and stood rooted to the ground.

    When Wei Jin came out, she saw Mu Feng standing in the living room in a sorry state, not daring to move. He was pitiful and funny. The corners of Wei Jin¡¯s lips twitched imperceptibly.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, hit me.¡± Seeing Wei Jine out, Mu Feng looked at her carefully. When he nced at her swollen lips, Mu Feng¡¯s eyes darkened.

    Wei Jin did not speak. She walked to the table and brewed a cup of tea for Mu Feng. She ced it by the table and sat quietly on the sofa.

    Mu Feng trembled from the cold, but he only dared to look at the steaming tea and not go forward.

    After some time, Wei Jin finally looked up at Mu Feng. ¡°Come and drink.¡±

    Only then did Mu Feng carefully lean over and take small sips of tea. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I drank too much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s expression was calm, as if she was not the one who had just broken down and cried. ¡°It¡¯ste. Mr. Mu, if you¡¯re warm, go back early.¡±

    Mu Feng frowned. It was fine if Wei Jin hit and scolded him, but he could not stand Wei Jin acting as if nothing had happened. It was as if he was just an unimportant person.

    Mu Feng was about to speak when Wei Jin stood up. ¡°I¡¯m going to rest. I still have to eat with my boyfriend tomorrow. Mr. Mu, go back early. Please don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡±

    ¡°What boyfriend?¡± Wei Jin¡¯s words stabbed into Mu Feng¡¯s heart like a knife that had been quenched in an ice pool.

    ¡°CEO Jiang is my boyfriend.¡± Wei Jin looked straight at Mu Feng. Her beautiful eyes were even colder than the cold outside.

    ¡°You.¡± Mu Feng stood up, his silver hair devilish under the light. ¡°Don¡¯t you like me at all?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang is young and promising, mature and steady. I like that kind of man.¡± Wei Jin stabbed the knife deeper. She did not want to give Mu Feng hope.

    The cold wind outside the door seemed to have poured in. Mu Feng¡¯s tall figure swayed. ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng turned around and left decisively. He walked to the door in a few steps, then gently closed the door and disappeared from Wei Jin¡¯s sight.

    In the room, Wei Jin stood on the spot for a long time. Finally, she moved and reached for the cup Mu Feng had drunk from. Only then did she realize that there was blood on her palm.

    She could not tell if Jiang Kui had pinched her or she had pinched herself.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, the lights were bright. A fire was burning in the firece, isting the cold from the window.

    Xia Wanyuan tidied up the script in her hand. Behind her, Jun Shiling was massaging her shoulders.

    ¡°Bo Xiao is finally back. Can you call them over for a meal on the fifteenth of the month?¡± After organizing thest thesis, Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded, and the hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder slipped unconsciously.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s small actions, Xia Wanyuan hit his hand angrily.

    Jun Shiling clicked his tongue. ¡°I¡¯ve massaged you for so long. Can¡¯t you give me somebor fees?¡±

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She suddenly stood up and ran to the drawer at the side. She took out a coin and handed it to Jun Shiling. ¡°Here, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Jun Shiling took the coin and suddenly grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist. However, the current Xia Wanyuan knew him too well. She nimbly took a step back and quickly ran to the door. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep with Xiao Bao tonight. Goodnight.¡±

    Looking at the empty room, Jun Shiling smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had indeed tortured her too muchst night.

    Xiao Bao was hiding under the nket and ying with the little doll when the door was suddenly pushed open. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Mommy!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll sleep with you tonight. Are you happy?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked forward and crawled into the nket that was filled with the fragrance of milk.

    ¡°Happy ~¡± Xiao Bao leaned over softly and was about to share his doll with Xia Wanyuan when the door opened again.

    Jun Shiling walked in. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep with you tonight.¡±

    Xiao Bao had a bitter expression as he secretly stuffed the doll back into the nket.

    <i>Boohoo, can I chase Daddy away??</i>

    The truth was, he couldn¡¯t.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s children¡¯s bed was more than enough for him to sleep on his own. After stuffing three people in, it seemed a little crowded. Xiao Bao felt that it was too crowded and tossed and turned on the bed.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling¡¯s foot touched something cold. Jun Shiling frowned and lifted the nket. A cartoon doll was under his feet.

    Jun Shiling picked it up with a dark expression. Xiao Bao, who had been tossing and turning just now, fell asleep in a second. He was as obedient as the golden boy in the painting.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and hooked her finger at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling lowered his head, and Xia Wanyuan pecked him on the cheek and whispered, ¡°Xiao Bao is asleep. Let¡¯s sleep too.¡±

    Looking at Xiao Bao, whose eyes were closed but still rolling, Jun Shiling snorted softly and did not say anything else.

    A good night¡¯s sleep.

    The holidays were already over. Beijing, which had quietened down during the New Year, regained its traffic.

    At the same time, good news came from China.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design sessfully passed the preliminary round of the international designpetition and obtained the tickets to the finals.

    The International Design Competition was a heavyweightpetition recognized by the fashion world and received the attention of the world. Over the years, many designers in China had been nominated for thispetition, but most of them returned empty-handed.

    The best result was the Gold Award that the famous Chinese designer, Zou Man, had won three years ago. It had once shocked China.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan was sessfully selected. Everyone could not help butpare Xia Wanyuan to Zou Man, guessing how far Xia Wanyuan could go.

 Chapter 966 - Genius Designer

    <h4>Chapter 966: Genius Designer</h4>

    In the art design industry, seniority was never determined by age. Although older designers had more experience, younger designers often had more inspiration.

    Zou Man had be famous because she had won the Gold Award in the International Design Competition. She was a genius designer who had suddenly risen in recent years.

    Xia Wanyuan was also quiet, but she shocked the world. She began to show her talent at Xiu Yi¡¯s opening ceremony.

    Everyone could not help but be curious.

    ¡°Can Xia Wanyuan be the next genius designer?¡±

    [Don¡¯t. Zou Man was just not famous in the past. She studied all the way up at a top art school abroad. The mentors who brought her were all big shots in the industry. Didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan had a mid-life career change?]

    [Don¡¯tpare. Our Yuan Yuan is just interested. She doesn¡¯t need the title of a genius designer herself.]

    [Hehe, you make it sound like she can get it.]

    In a design studio in Beijing, the assistant was looking worriedly at the fashionable woman by the window. ¡°Manman, what do you think of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design?¡±

    The woman in front of the window was dressed in a simple ck and white suit. She was elegant and simple, and her long hair was neatly tied behind her head, revealing her exquisite corbone.

    The woman smiled faintly. ¡°There¡¯s spiritual energy, but she chose the wrong direction.¡±

    ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°China¡¯s traditional element has always been old-fashioned. Countless people have tried to push this element out but haven¡¯t been able to open the market. With her design style, it¡¯s very easy to please the Chinese. It¡¯s impossible to walk out.¡±

    ¡°Then do you think she will be a threat to you?¡± The assistant was most worried about this.

    One genius designer was enough. If there were two, Zou Man¡¯s halo would undoubtedly dim. The altar that their studio had maintained for so long would shatter.

    ¡°Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± Zou Man finally turned around and smiled. ¡°She¡¯s just lucky. She relied on Jun Shiling¡¯s power to do the marketing well. Do you really think there are many people who buy her clothes?¡±

    Seeing how confident Zou Man was, the assistant was finally relieved. ¡°You¡¯re right. You graduated from a top design school. How can shepare to you? But to be honest, her life is really good. She can marry Jun Shiling.¡±

    Zou Man smiled disdainfully.?<i>So what if she was Madam Jun? In terms of design, I had still ruthlessly stepped on the so-called Madam Jun.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Bo Xiao, let¡¯s go to the manor for dinner on the Lantern Festival? Yuan Yuan said that she hasn¡¯t seen us in a long time.¡± Ever since Bo Xiao returned, An Rao had been much more relieved. She ate and slept every day. Now, she was sitting on the sofa with her phone and chatting with Xia Wanyuan.

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s words, Bo Xiao paused typing on the keyboard. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I want to eat tomato brisket for lunch.¡± An Rao took a bite of the sour plum and continued to chat with Xia Wanyuan on WeChat.

    Bo Xiao replied calmly and walked to the bathroom.

    He turned on the tap, and the sound of water instantly filled the entire bathroom.

    Themunication device in his hand beeped a few times before it connected.

    ¡°General Bo, are you happy to be home? I heard that your wife is pregnant. Congrattions.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice could be heard through themunicator.

    ¡°What do you want?¡± Bo Xiao ced his hand on the sink and slowly tightened his grip.

    ¡°Ha.¡± Yu Qian smiled, but it was filled with coldness. ¡°I want you to see Jun Shiling, and you can¡¯t let him notice, understand?¡±

    Bo Xiao was silent for a while before finallypromising. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Themunicator was cut off and the sound of the tap disappeared. Bo Xiao opened the door.

    On the sofa, An Rao was wearing a rabbit headband and chewing on sour plums. She was like a little hamster, cute and soft. The sunlight shone on her with a warm plum fragrance.

    An Rao suddenly looked up and saw Bo Xiao¡¯s pale face. Worry appeared in her eyes. ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and walked forward. He hugged An Rao and sniffed the sunlight on her. ¡°Let¡¯s eat with Xia Wanyuan and the rest on the Lantern Festival. Don¡¯t you miss her?¡±

    ¡°Okay! Bo Xiao, you¡¯re the best!¡± An Rao sat up and kissed Bo Xiao on the cheek.

 Chapter 967 - Acting

    <h4>Chapter 967: Acting</h4>

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao reached out and rubbed An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯ll cook for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao nodded and hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s waist without letting go. ¡°Bo Xiao, I like you so much.¡±

    Bo Xiao, who was about to get up and leave, sat back down when he heard An Rao¡¯s words. He held her face and kissed her deeply.

    After a while, Bo Xiao took half a step back. An Rao had just opened her eyes when Bo Xiao hugged her tightly. Although he was holding her a little tightly, An Rao still smiled and hugged Bo Xiao back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Bo Xiao said hoarsely, ¡°I love you.¡±

    A smile appeared on An Rao¡¯s face. ¡°I love you too.¡±

    However, where An Rao could not see, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were red and filled with love and struggle.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After a night of heavy snow, the branches of the Qing University campus were filled with thick snow. A gust of wind blew and fell.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡± Xia Wanyuan had just finished a lesson and walked to the school building when she met Jiang Kui, who had just gotten out of the car.

    Jiang Kui narrowed his eyes at Xia Wanyuan. His venomous gaze made Xia Wanyuan subconsciously frown. ¡°It¡¯s not a coincidence.¡±

    Jiang Kui smiled and stared into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes. ¡°Madam Jun is really a beauty. It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t meet you earlier.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and arrogance. At that moment, Jiang Kui felt the pressure from Xia Wanyuan, like Jun Shiling.

    ¡°The Jiang family¡¯s upbringing is nothing much.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never been polite to people she hated.

    ¡°Miss Xia is right.¡± Jiang Kui epted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mockery. He was about to say something to Xia Wanyuan when he saw Wei Jin walking over from the corner of his eye. Jiang Kui stopped.

    ¡°Cousin.¡± Wei Jin walked over and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Jin deeply and turned to leave.

    ¡°Mr. Jiang.¡± Wei Jin turned around and nodded at Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui reached out and hugged Wei Jin¡¯s waist. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ve booked a ce to eat.¡±

    After getting into the car, Jiang Kui handed arge bouquet of roses and a jewelry box to Wei Jin. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful today.¡±

    Wei Jin smiled politely. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Jiang.¡±

    Along the way, Wei Jin answered the topics that Jiang Kui threw out perfectly. She knew business and knew poetry. When they were about to get out of the car, Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes were filled with satisfaction.

    He had thought that Wei Jin was just a vase, but from the looks of it, she was indeed someone nurtured by the Wei family in Jiangnan. It was not a loss for the Jiang family to marry such a woman.

    Wei Jin knew Jiang Kui¡¯s personality very well. What he needed was just a obedient and sensible vase. Wei Jin yed this role very well.

    By the time dinner ended, Jiang Kui was already very satisfied with Wei Jin. ¡°We¡¯ll settle the marriage in two days. Your father really wants us to get married early.¡±

    Wei Jin smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with just the right amount of joy. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m looking forward to it as well.¡±

    Jiang Kui was about to send Wei Jin back to the dormitory when a call suddenly came in. After hanging up, Jiang Kui looked at Wei Jin apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Wei. I have a meeting. I¡¯ll drop you off at the school gate. I won¡¯t go in.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded and cared for Jiang Kui considerately. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go ahead. I¡¯ll go in myself. Coincidentally, I have to go to the office too.¡±

    A momentter, Wei Jin got out of the car. Jiang Kui¡¯s car roared away. The snow by the roadside had already turned to ice.

    Knowing that Jiang Kui liked beautiful women, Wei Jin specially wore a pair of slender high heels. Now that she was stepping on the icy road, she could only walk slowly and carefully.

    It was time for school to end. In the affiliated middle school beside Qing University, young children swarmed out of the school.

    ¡°Run, if you¡¯rete, the skewers will be sold out!¡±

    ¡°Ahhh, my sausages are here.¡±

    The students quickly ran past her. Wei Jin did not notice and was swept by the student¡¯s school bag. Her high heels stepped on the ice and she lost her bnce and fell straight towards the ice.

 Chapter 968 - Extremely Gentle

    <h4>Chapter 968: Extremely Gentle</h4>

    Wei Jin subconsciously grabbed at the air. She thought she was going to fall to the ground, but a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, and the other hand stopped her waist.

    Wei Jin was supported and stabilized. A beautiful silver hair bloomed in front of her.

    She looked up. As expected, it was Mu Feng. After not seeing him for a day, Mu Feng looked very haggard. Wei Jin took a step back. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Mu Feng nced at her. ¡°Are you getting engaged to Jiang Kui?¡±

    ¡°Yes, so don¡¯t disturb me anymore.¡± Wei Jin did not want to look at Mu Feng¡¯s burning gaze, so she could only look at the snow-covered tree behind him.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have any sses today. Can you apany me for half a day?¡± Mu Feng handed the coffee in his hand to Wei Jin. ¡°Just half a day, okay? I definitely won¡¯t pester you in the future.¡±

    Wei Jin looked at the coffee in front of her for a long time and finally looked up. ¡°Okay, after today, just pretend you never knew me.¡±

    Mu Feng did not speak further and brought Wei Jin into the car. Gradually, the car stopped in front of a pharmacy. Mu Feng got out of the car and returned with a bag not long after.

    Give me your hand.¡± Mu Feng reached out to Wei Jin. Seeing that Wei Jin did not move, Mu Feng put on his leather gloves again. ¡°I won¡¯t touch you. Is this okay? Give me your hand.¡±

    Wei Jin hesitantly ced her hand in Mu Feng¡¯s gloved palm. Then, she saw Mu Feng open the bag. Inside was iodine, cotton swabs, and anti-inmmatory medicine.

    Looking at Mu Feng¡¯s exquisite eyes, Wei Jin was a little stunned.

    Mu Feng used a cotton swab to pry open Wei Jin¡¯s hand. In her palm were a few nail marks that were already scabbing.

    It was very quiet in the car. Mu Feng quietly disinfected Wei Jin¡¯s palm and applied medicine. In the end, he wrapped the wound with ayer of gauze. Wei Jin sat quietly, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

    ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Mu Feng was halfway through his sentence when he suddenlyughed at himself. ¡°You just ate with Jiang Kui. How can you be hungry? I¡¯ll bring you somewhere.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng put away the medicine, started the car, and drove to the suburbs. When he was about to leave the city, he suddenly thought of something. ¡°Wait for me for a while. I¡¯m going to buy something.¡±

    Ten minutester, Mu Feng returned with a box. ¡°Change into it.¡±

    Wei Jin opened the box and saw a pair of ck cotton shoes. They looked like they had been made by grandmothers thirty years ago.

    ¡°There aren¡¯t many shops here. There¡¯s an old granny selling this by the roadside, so I bought it. It¡¯s ugly, but it¡¯s better than you wearing those high heels.¡±

    Wei Jin nced out of the window. Not far away, a white-haired granny was counting the money in her hand shakily.

    There was arge stack of red hundred-dor bills.

    Wei Jin changed into the cotton shoes. Surprisingly, they fit her very well.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After Wei Jin changed her shoes, Mu Feng started the car and drove towards the suburbs.

    In the most luxurious hotel in the city, the doorbell rang. Zou Man went forward and opened the door. ¡°Why did you take so long toe?¡±

    ¡°To apany my fianc¨¦e.¡± Jiang Kui walked in with a smile and hugged Zou Man¡¯s waist. ¡°I¡¯ve made our beauty wait for a long time. I¡¯ll apologize to you.¡±

    As Jiang Kui spoke, he took out a jewelry box from his pocket. Inside was the same ne that he had given Wei Jin. It was priceless.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Zou Man patted Jiang Kui angrily. ¡°Fianc¨¦e? Don¡¯t tell me you really n to marry her? What did you tell mest time?¡±

    Jiang Kui smiled and kissed Zou Man, his eyes shing with ruthlessness. ¡°She¡¯s not made of steel. It¡¯s normal for her to get sick and have an ident. Don¡¯t worry, when I get the Wei family¡¯s assets in Jiangnan, it¡¯ll be the time you enter the family.¡±

 Chapter 969 - The Beautiful World is Interlinked to You

    <h4>Chapter 969: The Beautiful World is Interlinked to You</h4>

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s guarantee, Zou Man¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. She rubbed against Jiang Kui charmingly, igniting the evil fire in Jiang Kui¡¯s heart.

    Jiang Kui lowered his head anxiously, but Zou Man stopped him. ¡°Hubby ~ I have something to tell you.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Do you know Xia Wanyuan? Jun Shiling¡¯s woman.¡± Zou Man pulled on Jiang Kui¡¯s chest.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Kui paused for a moment, his eyes revealing an ambiguous light. ¡°Of course I know. As expected of the beauty Jun Shiling has taken a fancy to.¡±

    That arrogant temperament on the peak of the snow mountain and those cold eyes seemed to be able to look into one¡¯s heart.

    One day, when he stepped on Jun Shiling, he really wanted to see what Xia Wanyuan would do under him.

    Sensing Jiang Kui¡¯s daze, Zou Man¡¯s heart was filled with jealousy and hatred, but she did not show it on her face. She gently punched Jiang Kui. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. Have you taken a fancy to that Xia Wanyuan? Hmph.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? Tell me, what is it?¡± Jiang Kui pulled himself out of his thoughts and focused on coaxing the beauty in his arms.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t she going to participate in that designpetition? I heard that two judges are very familiar with you.¡± Zou Man stopped there. She believed that Jiang Kui knew the rest.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Jiang Kui lowered his head and kissed her. ¡°My woman is the genius designer. Of course Jun Shiling¡¯s woman can¡¯tpare to you.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s words, Zou Man was satisfied. Her hands reached down from his waist, and Jiang Kui picked her up by the waist and threw her onto the bed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the suburbs, Mu Feng drove Wei Jin to thepetition venue. It was cold outside, but there was no snow on the track.

    Mu Feng turned around and looked at Wei Jin. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have experienced racing before, right?¡±

    Wei Jin nodded.

    ¡°Put on your seatbelt. I¡¯ll show you.¡± Mu Feng smiled at Wei Jin, his long and narrow phoenix eyes filled with gentleness.

    Wei Jin fastened her seatbelt and Mu Feng started the car.

    A huge roar sounded and a wave of thick smoke rolled past. The back of the car had already disappeared into the distance.

    Mu Feng was extremely fast. The vegetation beside the car was a blur. Wei Jin could not help but grip the seatbelt in front of her tightly.

    She had never experienced such speed. The pressure caused by the extreme speed made her mind nk. At this moment, there was no pressure, no restraints, only extreme freedom.

    Considering that Wei Jin had no experience, Mu Feng stopped after driving for about ten minutes.

    ¡°Do you like this feeling? Unrestrained freedom.¡± Mu Feng pressed one hand on the steering wheel and looked straight into Wei Jin¡¯s eyes.

    Wei Jin was silent for a while before nodding. ¡°I like it.¡±

    She did not want to admit it, but she had to admit that Mu Feng could see through her thoughts and discover the deepest desire in her heart.

    ¡°Look at me.¡± Mu Feng stared at Wei Jin with a burning gaze.

    Wei Jin hesitated for a while before turning around and meeting Mu Feng¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°I know that the Wei family and the Jiang family must have reached some agreement, which is why you got together with Jiang Kui so quickly.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wei Jin wanted to exin, but Mu Feng interrupted her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re restrained by your family.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were firm. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to share everything with me, I¡¯ll give you everything.¡±

    Mu Feng took out a document. ¡°I went to look for Grandpast night. In the future, I¡¯ll inherit the Mu family. Perhaps I can¡¯t give you much, but I promise that as long as you¡¯re by my side, you¡¯ll always be free.¡±

    Looking at the document in front of her, Wei Jin was stunned. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the seatbelt.

    Seeing this, Mu Feng hurriedly threw away the document and grabbed her wrist. ¡°I just helped you disinfect your wound, don¡¯t open it again.¡±

    Looking at the exquisite Mu Feng in front of her, Wei Jin¡¯s heart was in a mess. She did not know what to do. ¡°I want to go back to school. Send me back.¡±

    Mu Feng paused for a moment and slowly let go of Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°Okay.¡±

    The journey was silent.

    Mu Feng sent Wei Jin to the entrance of the dormitory. Wei Jin was about to get out of the car when she suddenly thought of something. ¡°Do you know where Cousin lives?¡±

    Mu Feng was stunned and nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Soon, Mu Feng drove Wei Jin to the entrance of the manor. ¡°Go ahead. I won¡¯t go in.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin got out of the car and smiled politely at Mu Feng. ¡°Thank you for sending me.¡±

    ¡°No need to thank me.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s heart turned cold.

    It was the weekend and Xiao Bao was on leave. Xia Wanyuan did not go to work, so Jun Shiling postponed his work to apany them at home.

    Wei Jin followed the servant into the house.

    On the carpet in the living room, Xiao Bao was ying Ultraman by the side. Xia Wanyuan was draped in a nket and leaning in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms to write her thesis. asionally, when Xia Wanyuan encountered questions that she did not understand, Jun Shiling would lean forward and patientlymunicate with her.

    The warm light shone on them, and Wei Jin felt that she had seen the most moving beauty in the world.

    <h4>Chapter 970: Courage From the Princess</h4>

    Hearing themotion, Xia Wanyuan looked up and smiled at Wei Jin. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan liked Wei Jin very much. In her heart, Wei Jin was one of her own, so her attitude towards her was very natural. She sat on the ground and did not move.

    ¡°Cousin, CEO Jun.¡± Over the past two days, there was finally a sincere smile in Wei Jin¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Why are you calling him CEO Jun? Call him Cousin-inw.¡± Xia Wanyuan put away her book and blinked at Wei Jin with a smile.

    Wei Jin was stunned. In terms of seniority, Jun Shiling was indeed her cousin-inw. However, in terms of strength, she felt that she did not have the right to call Jun Shiling her cousin-inw.

    Xia Wanyuan nudged Jun Shiling with her elbow. Only then did Jun Shiling look up and nod at Wei Jin.

    ¡°Cousin-inw.¡± Wei Jin smiled and bowed to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Xiao Bao, call Auntie Wei.¡± Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face.

    Xiao Bao, who was focused on the toys, looked at Wei Jin. His big eyes suddenly lit up.

    <i>What a beautiful auntie!!!?</i>

    ¡°Hello, Auntie Wei!! Auntie Wei, you¡¯re so beautiful. I like you so much.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s mouth was as sweet as honey.

    Wei Jin had always known that Xia Wanyuan had a child, but she had never seen him before. Now that Xiao Bao was looking at her with sparkling eyes, love immediately surged from her chest. ¡°Hello, Xiao Bao. Auntie Wei likes you very much too.¡±

    ¡°You guys chat first. I¡¯m going to the study. I¡¯lle down and eat with youter.¡± Thinking that Wei Jin and Xia Wanyuan should have something to say, Jun Shiling stood up and picked up Xiao Bao, who was looking at Auntie Wei eagerly.

    Xiao Bao struggled a few times but could not break free from Jun Shiling¡¯s demonic ws. He could only ept his fate and carry the toy upstairs. Before he left, he waved at Wei Jin. ¡°Pretty Auntie Wei, let¡¯s have dinner together tonight!¡±

    ¡°Okay ~¡± Wei Jin smiled in response to Xiao Bao. Only when Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao disappeared into the stairwell did Wei Jin turn around.

    Xia Wanyuan patted the seat beside her. ¡°Sit down and talk.¡±

    Wei Jin sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m so envious of you.¡±

    ¡°Everyone has their own life. You don¡¯t have to envy me.¡±

    ¡°But I don¡¯t have your courage or freedom.¡± Wei Jin looked disappointed.

    Ever since she was young, she had been a controlled puppet. She had read so many books and seen so much of the world. In the end, she would only be a tool to please others.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to trust others? Or believe in your own choice,¡± Xia Wanyuan said meaningfully.

    Wei Jin was stunned and hesitated. ¡°Can I?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan asked, ¡°Can¡¯t you?¡±

    Wei Jin was silent.

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else and changed the topic. ¡°Stay for dinner tonight. Xiao Bao quite likes you.¡±

    After all, Xiao Bao loved beauty, and liked beautiful brothers and sisters.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin smiled at Xia Wanyuan. Compared to when she had first arrived, the confusion and struggle in her eyes had disappeared, and there was a hint of rity.

    The ultimate beauty-obsessed Xiao Bao liked this new beautiful Auntie Wei very much. He did not even cling to Xia Wanyuan anymore. He followed Wei Jin left and right, making Wei Jin extremely happy.

    When they left the manor, Wei Jin looked much more rxed, as if many shackles had been removed.

    ¡°Thank you, Cousin.¡± Wei Jin thanked Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of her heart.

    She had always thought that big families like theirs were not qualified to have love. In big families, male power was above all, and benefits were the priority.

    The so-called marriage was just a cover to cover up everything.

    However, Xia Wanyuan made her see another possibility in this world.

    ¡°Madam, we¡¯ve already arranged a car. Miss Wei, please follow me.¡± Uncle Wang walked forward and prepared to send Wei Jin home.

    However, Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. ¡°Uncle Wang, just send Miss Wei to the door.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although he did not know what Xia Wanyuan meant, Uncle Wang obeyed Xia Wanyuan like he obeyed Jun Shiling.

    Wei Jin was sent to the door. She nced at the roadside and saw Mu Feng¡¯s silver sports car.

    Night was gradually falling. Under the streetmp, there was a red dot outside the open car window. Mu Feng seemed to be in a daze and did not even notice Wei Jin approaching.

    It was only when Wei Jin opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat that Mu Feng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you y for a while more?¡±

    Wei Jin did not speak, so Mu Feng could only shut his mouth. He cursed himself for being nosy and offending Wei Jin again.

    The car was filled with the faint smell of tobo. The heater was on in the car, and Wei Jin seemed to be dizzy from the heater. An inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

    <i>What does smoke smell like?</i>

    Perhaps because she had obtained the courage to break free from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shackles, Wei Jin¡¯s thoughts were extremely erratic. She thought that since she had never tasted tobo, she might as well try it.

    ¡°What does tobo smell like?¡± Wei Jin suddenly turned to look at Mu Feng.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Mu Feng was stunned. He clearly did not expect Wei Jin to ask this question. He picked up the cigarette box beside him and threw it out. ¡°I smoke asionally. Don¡¯t learn to smoke. This is not good for your health¡­¡±

    Mu Feng rambled on. His androgynous face clearly looked like that of an otherworldly yboy, but under his unrestrained skin was sincere concern.

    Mu Feng spoke for a long time, but Wei Jin did not reply. Mu Feng stopped talking. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have said so much. I spoke too much. I¡¯ll send-¡±

    Before Mu Feng could finish speaking, Wei Jin, who had been sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly leaned over.

    A warmthnded on Mu Feng¡¯s lips

 Chapter 971 - Youâ€™re My Wife

    <h4>Chapter 971: You¡¯re My Wife</h4>

    At that moment, Mu Feng was stunned. His entire body froze.

    Wei Jin tasted the tobo on Mu Feng¡¯s lips. She stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently swept it across. It was a little bitter.

    It did not taste good, and Wei Jin did not like it.

    The moment Wei Jin¡¯s tongue swept across, Mu Feng¡¯s body stiffened as he shouted in his heart.

    <i>F*ck!?</i>

    His emotions spun countless times, but in fact, it was only two seconds.

    Wei Jin frowned slightly and took half a step back. She murmured, ¡°It¡¯s a little bitter.¡±

    Seeing Mu Feng¡¯s distracted look, Wei Jin smiled.

    Mu Feng was already lost in the clouds.

    In the fog, Wei Jin¡¯s smile was like a light that pointed the way, pulling him out from his wandering thoughts.

    Wei Jin was about to return to her seat when Mu Feng suddenly approached her. His silver hair fell on her shoulder, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes shone brightly. His thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Ah Jin, you have to return the favor for kissing me secretly.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feng lowered his head.

    In the closed car, there was the rustling of clothes and Mu Feng¡¯s suppressed breathing.

    Wei Jin felt as if she had fallen into the clouds. In the silver light, Wei Jin thought that the smell of tobo was bitter at first, but it was sweet at the end.

    After a while, until Wei Jin was almost out of breath, Mu Feng reluctantly retreated. His eyes, which had been low for the entire day, lit up shockingly. ¡°Ah Jin, are you agreeing to me?¡±

    Wei Jin was a little shy under Mu Feng¡¯s burning gaze. ¡°No.¡±

    Mu Feng refused to budge. ¡°Yes, you stuck your tongue out just now.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Wei Jin became even more shy. She reached out to cover her face, revealing a pair of red ears, making Mu Feng¡¯s heart dote on her.

    ¡°If we weren¡¯t in the city at night, I really want to race to 180 yards.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s tone was filled with joy.

    Even though Wei Jin was blindfolded, she could feel the joy emanating from Mu Feng. The corners of her lips, which were hidden in her palms, secretly curled up.

    ¡°Send me back. I need to rest.¡± After struggling for a long time, Wei Jin finally remembered that she was still at the entrance of the manor. She immediately became even more embarrassed.

    ¡°Okay, wife.¡± Mu Feng was someone who would climb up after being given the pole. In Mu Feng¡¯s logic, Wei Jin had epted his kiss. In all, Wei Jin was his wife.

    ¡°What are you calling me?¡± Wei Jin was also stunned by Mu Feng¡¯s address.

    ¡°Wife.¡± Mu Feng smiled smugly and leaned over to help Wei Jin buckle her seatbelt. ¡°Sit properly, wife. Let¡¯s go home.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng started the car and set off for Qing University.

    Wei Jin looked out of the window with a red face. Mu Feng was humming happily beside her, and there was a faint tobo smell around his lips.

    Wei Jin¡¯s heart was beating very quickly. She had never felt so filled with sweetness.

    However, she had to admit that this feeling was really not bad.

    Mu Feng sent Wei Jin to the Qing University dormitory and opened the door for her.

    Wei Jin walked into the courtyard with a red face. Mu Feng followed her until Wei Jin walked into the courtyard, but Mu Feng showed no signs of leaving.

    ]Wei Jin could not help but stop. ¡°I¡¯m already here. Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave.¡± After confirming Wei Jin¡¯s feelings, Mu Feng¡¯s arrogance returned. Mu Feng blinked at Wei Jin. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be separated from you. Can I sleep on the floor here? I promise I won¡¯t do anything. If you don¡¯t believe me, get your cousin to vouch for me.¡±

    Wei Jin was stunned again.

    She had been taught traditionaldy education since she was young. How could she let a man stay overnight?

    ¡°Okay? Jin, you¡¯re the best. I really only sleep on the ground. Otherwise, the sofa will do too~¡± Mu Feng blinked at Wei Jin, his exquisite face filled with smiles.

    Reality proved that the honey trap was still effective. Wei Jin did not know if she had been blinded by the tobo as she actually agreed to Mu Feng¡¯s suggestion.

    In the living room, Wei Jin carefully spread the nket on the sofa and ced the pillow. Mu Feng stayed quietly by the side and did not speak. He only looked at Wei Jin with a burning gaze. Wei Jin¡¯s face heated up. After cing the nket, she hurriedly returned to the bedroom.

    Not long after, Wei Jin washed up andy on the bed. Just as she was about to sleep, Mu Feng called out to her in the living room. ¡°Wife, your nket is so thin. I¡¯m so cold. Change the bed to a thick one.¡±

    Wei Jin opened the door in confusion. She had already taken the thickest nket. ¡°I¡¯ll change it for you.¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Mu Feng pulled her wrist and closed the bedroom door.

    Mu Feng¡¯s eyes sparkled. ¡°It¡¯s so cold. Can I borrow my wife¡¯s bed to warm it up?¡±

    Wei Jin froze. ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise me not to do anything?¡±

    Mu Feng smiled. ¡°I really won¡¯t do anything to you.¡± With that, Mu Feng carried Wei Jin horizontally and ced her under the nket. Before Wei Jin could react, Mu Feng crawled in and hugged her.

    ¡°Mu Feng, you¡¯re lying.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s body temperature was too hot. Wei Jin¡¯s entire body stiffened and her face flushed red.

    ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you.¡± Mu Feng hugged Wei Jin tightly and smiled with his eyes curved into crescents. ¡°I¡¯m really happy. I just want to hug you like this and feel you in my arms. I really won¡¯t do anything. Goodnight.¡±

    After all, everything tonight was too dreamlike. Mu Feng did not feel real. He kept feeling that he was dreaming. If he was dreaming, then let the dream be sweeter.

    As Mu Feng had said, he only hugged her quietly and did nothing.

    From the moment Wei Jin kissed him, she had already decided on him in her heart. Hence, even though she was shy, she did not continue to argue with Mu Feng.

    Wei Jin had never slept with anyone, especially men. She had thought that she would not be able to sleep, but who would have thought that she would fall asleep not long after? She was very relieved.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan went to Qing University for ss. From afar, she saw Wei Jin and Mu Feng walking sweetly together.

    ¡°Mommy, Mommy! Is that Fairy Auntie Wei?¡± Xiao Bao, who was wearing a panda suit, saw Wei Jin and Mu Feng and his eyes lit up.

    <i>Beautiful Auntie Wei! And beautiful Uncle Mu!?</i>

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go to ss. Do you remember what Mommy told you?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently. ¡°You can¡¯t be noisy. You have to be obedient. Mommy, don¡¯t worry. I listen to you the most.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the ssroom, the students were already looking forward to it. Finally, when the bell rang, familiar footsteps came from the corridor. Everyone hurriedly sat down, opened their books, and waited to wee Xia Wanyuan.

    A momentter, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a ck windbreaker, appeared at the ssroom door. She was as magnificent as ever.

    However, everyone¡¯s attention was not on her.

    Everyone¡¯s gazes focused on the cute and obedient human cub she was holding.

 Chapter 972 - Doted on By Everybody

    <h4>Chapter 972: Doted on By Everybody</h4>

    Xiao Bao was wearing a furry panda suit, and the panda ears on his head were raised.

    On his face with red lips and white teeth, a pair of big eyes that were like ck grapes blinked as he looked curiously at the brothers and sisters in the ssroom.

    ¡°Good morning, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked to the podium and greeted the students.

    ¡°Good morning, Professor Xia,¡± the students replied distractedly, their attention on Xiao Bao.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°The little kid is on winter break. I brought him to ss. He won¡¯t be noisy. Xiao Bao, greet the brothers and sisters.¡±

    Xiao Bao nodded obediently. Although he was young, he did not have stage fright at all. He waved at the audience. The dimples on his face were deep and round, and his voice was cute and milky. ¡°Dear genius brothers and sisters, good morning, everyone. I will be very obedient and not disturb your ss.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao strode to the empty seat in the first row.

    The seats in the ssroom were designed for adults. Xiao Bao could not climb up. He looked at the student beside him with his big watery eyes. ¡°Big Brother, can you please carry me to the chair? Thank you.¡±

    At home, when he wanted to go up to a high chair, Jun Shiling would drag him up there.

    How would the studymittee member who was called Big Brother dare to drag Xiao Bao? His 19-year-old heart was about to be cut out by Xiao Bao. He carefully picked Xiao Bao up and ced him on the chair.

    Xiao Bao sat on the chair and could barely fill a third of it.

    Furthermore, he was not tall enough. Only his head was exposed on the table. He obediently ced his hand in the drawer and turned to smile at him with two round dimples. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother.¡±

    The ssroom was silent, but everyone¡¯s hearts were screaming.

    On the podium, Xia Wanyuan had already begun her lecture.

    Everyone thought that Xiao Bao should be very active at his age. Who would have thought that in the entire ss, Xiao Bao would obediently sit on the chair, ce his little hand in the drawer, and sit upright, listening to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture seriously?

    His big eyes were filled with attachment and admiration for Xia Wanyuan.

    The bell rang.

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today. See you tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan began to pack her textbooks on the podium.

    Xiao Bao turned around. ¡°Big Brother, please carry me down. My legs are short and I can¡¯t go down. Thank you, Big Brother.¡±

    The 1.9-meter-tall studymittee member carried Xiao Bao off the chair with a red face. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±

    ¡°This is for you. Big Brother, you¡¯re the best.¡± Xiao Bao stuffed the milk candy that he had secretly hidden into the school representative¡¯s hand.

    <i>Daddy always dragged me down the chair, unlike this big brother who treats me too well. He always carries me down. I must give him a piece of milk candy!?</i>

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already packed her things and waved at Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Okay, Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao ran towards Xia Wanyuan, his panda tail wagging behind him. He was extremely cute.

    Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao had already disappeared at the door. The ssroom, which had been quiet for an entire lesson, suddenly erupted.

    ¡°Ahhh, how can he be so cute!!!¡±

    ¡°Oh my god!! Sitting so upright! That dimple!! I¡¯m dead!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, I want to eat the milk candy given by the little angel too. Studymittee member, I¡¯ll pay you a hundred yuan, okay?¡±

    The studymittee member, who had been bewitched by the sweet big brother, stuffed the milk candy into his pocket. ¡°I won¡¯t even sell it for ten thousand!¡±

    The photo of Xia Wanyuan walking in the small courtyard with the little panda quickly spread online.

    Hearing the Qing University students appear and say, ¡°The little baby is so cute and sensible.¡±

    Theizens were jealous:<i>?When will ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡± be released? We¡¯ve been waiting so long!! We want to see the little darling too!?</i>

 Chapter 973 - Daddy, I Love You Second

    <h4>Chapter 973: Daddy, I Love You Second</h4>

    After ss, Xia Wanyuan returned to the school building to prepare for ss. In just half a day, Xiao Bao had sessfully fooled a group of grandparents, uncles, and aunties.

    In the evening, when Jun Shiling came to pick them up, the usually serious professors were reluctant to part with Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Goodbye, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie.¡± Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and bade farewell to everyone. ¡°Xiao Bao loves you!¡±

    Sitting in the car, Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s soft face. ¡°Who do you love the most?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s Mommy!¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg. ¡°I like Mommy the most.¡±

    ¡°What about the second?¡±

    ¡°Secondly.¡± Xiao Bao secretly nced at Jun Shiling.

    <i>Although Daddy was always fierce to me and would not carry me downstairs gently and he always liked to snatch Mommy from me,</i>

    <i>I still loved Daddy very much!?</i>

    ¡°I like Daddy second!¡± Xiao Bao buried his head in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes in embarrassment.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up.

    However, being sweet was one thing, but the milk candy still had to be taken away.

    Jun Shiling lifted Xiao Bao onto hisp and found nearly twenty milk candies in his hat, pocket, and sleeves.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s heart broke. He looked at Jun Shiling with tears in his eyes. These were all secretly given to him by the grandparents.

    ¡°Daddy, I don¡¯t love you anymore.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s love would disappear.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao¡¯s clenched fists.

    <i>On ount of his sweet mouth, I would leave one for him.</i>

    Jun Shiling ced Xiao Bao on the sofa. Xiao Bao had been clenching his fists tightly and secretly nced at Jun Shiling. There was nothing unusual.

    <i>Phew, that was close. Daddy didn¡¯t notice the milk candy I hid in my fist!?</i>

    ¡ª

    In Camellia¡¯s gship store, the management gathered for a meeting with a frown.

    ¡°I really have no choice. Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes are cheap and people like to buy them from the other side. Our old customers were attracted and ran away.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already submitted a report to headquarters. Wait for news from headquarters.¡±

    The manager was also very vexed. Camellia Imperial¡¯s gship store was opened to expand the Chinese market.

    They had invested a huge amount of manpower, material, and financial resources, but Xiu Yi¡¯s appearancepletely disrupted their pace.

    Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes had many specifications. There were both civilian products and high-end custom-made series.

    Camellia¡¯s old customers had gradually leaned towards Xiu Yi recently.

    Back then, they wanted to suppress Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity and open up their reputation, but they did not seed. In the end, they lost face.

    Everyone was frowning and looking miserable.

    ¡°The headquarters has replied!¡± After reading the headquarters¡¯ reply, the person-in-charge suddenly pped the table excitedly. ¡°The headquarters said that the famous genius designer, Zou Man, will join us!¡±

    Everyone was excited when they heard this.

    Zou Man was a celebrity in the domestic design industry. With her joining, it would undoubtedly greatly increase thepetitiveness of the Chinese market.

    This was not the only good news. Soon, they received news that the Jiang family had already reached a cooperation with Camellia¡¯s headquarters. They would invest and protect Camellia¡¯s market in China.

    The employees of Camellia Group were filled with ambition.

    This time, they were determined to step on Xiu Yi.

    Soon, there was arge wave of marketing news online.

    ¡°How moving would the spark of a genius designer entering Camellia China and the collision between China and the West be?¡±

    [Zou Man is amazing. I like her design style very much.]

    [This is a real genius designer. She¡¯s famous internationally. On the other hand, some people are so smug just because their husbands are rich and powerful.]

    [ Is there something wrong with the alternate ount in front? Show your name if you have the guts. Where¡¯s the meaning of insinuation? ]

    Arge number of alternate ounts mixed in thements and were extremely mocking. They did not mention a word about Xia Wanyuan, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these people were mocking Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was now a super popr person who could affect the entire Inte. The news rted to her was extremely popr.

    Hence, Zou Man, who was only famous in the design world in the past, was now known by the public because of Xia Wanyuan.

    [ Oh my god, this is really a genius designer. Although I like Xia Wanyuan very much, in terms of professionalism, Zou Man really won. ]

    [She¡¯s so beautiful too. Are all the beauties nowadays talented and beautiful? This is really a genius designer who has wisdom and beauty.]

    Seeing thements online, the corners of Zou Man¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡°Manman, I think you¡¯re much better-looking than that Xia Wanyuan. You¡¯re also a true genius designer. I really don¡¯t understand what¡¯s wrong with so many people on the Inte liking Xia Wanyuan.¡± The assistant sorted out Zou Man¡¯s design draft as he spoke to her.

    ¡°I have no choice. She has a good life.¡± At this point, jealousy shed across Zou Man¡¯s eyes.

    She had been with Jiang Kui for so many years and was still a lover who could not be exposed. They were both women, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design could notpare to hers at all. However, Xia Wanyuan could marry Jun Shiling and be the upright Madam Jun.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid Jun Shiling was also deceived by her facade. Who can be so amazing? She does everything so well. She must have been marketed.¡± The assistant pursed his lips. He did not believe from the bottom of his heart that Xia Wanyuan was as amazing as the rumors said.

    The poprity on the Inte increased, and Zou Man appeared at the right time.

    @ Zou Man: ¡°Thank you for everyone¡¯s love. I¡¯m just a newbie who has just entered the industry. If everyone praises me again, I¡¯ll be shy.¡±

    [The big shot is really humble.]

    [The truly amazing person is always humble, while the half-baked person is always buying manuscripts to brag about being a genius designer.]

    After Zou Man posted the statement, everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan would post it too. However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo was quiet until night.

    On the other hand, on Yuan Wanxia¡¯s Weibo ount, Xia Wanyuan had updated a few paintings and paintings. As usual, the paintings and paintings were instantly emptied.

    The night gradually darkened. Thenterns at the entrance of the manor shone warmly. A car drove in from the door. Xiao Bao ran out when he heard the sound.

    ¡°Auntie An, Little Uncle, I miss you so much!¡± Xiao Bao knew that An Rao was pregnant and could not torture Auntie An, so he jumped onto Bo Xiao¡¯sp.

    Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s clear eyes, Bo Xiao subconsciously wanted to hug him, but in the end, he retracted his hand. ¡°Xiao Bao, be good. Uncle wants to take care of your Auntie An Rao.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently and secretly held the corner of Bo Xiao¡¯s shirt.

    <i>If I couldn¡¯t hug him, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to secretly hold his clothes, right?</i>

    Sensing Xiao Bao¡¯s actions, Bo Xiao pursed his lips and finally restrained the thoughts in his eyes.

 Chapter 974 - Reunion; Marriage

    <h4>Chapter 974: Reunion; Marriage</h4>

    Bo Xiao held An Rao¡¯s hand and slowly walked into the house. Food was already ced in the living room.

    ¡°You¡¯re here. Come and eat.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at An Rao and Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan!¡± An Rao had not seen Xia Wanyuan for a long time. She immediately let go of Bo Xiao¡¯s hand and ran to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side to chat.

    Bo Xiao stood rooted to the ground for a second before walking forward and sitting beside An Rao.

    An Rao looked at Bo Xiao strangely. ¡°Why are you here when we girls are whispering to each other? Go sit with CEO Jun.¡±

    Bo Xiao nced at Jun Shiling, who was not far away. Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze happened tond on him. It was like a sharp de that pierced straight into his defense.

    Bo Xiao stood up with a normal expression. His fox-like eyes narrowed into crescents as he sat beside Jun Shiling and raised his wine ss at him. ¡°Come, Brother, have a drink.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao deeply and frowned slightly. Then, he picked up his wine ss and clinked it with Bo Xiao.

    The red wine echoed in the ss, causing thin ripples.

    The following time, as expected, the four of them chatted happily. The living room was filled with the joy of reunion.

    After eating and drinking, Bo Xiao left with An Rao. The ck car gradually blended into the night.

    Jun Shiling held a ss of red wine and stood in front of the window without moving. His eyes changed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

    Half an hourter, the servants who had been helping Xia Wanyuan shower walked downstairs. ¡°Young Master, Madam wants you to apany her.¡±

    It had been a long time since she had seen An Rao. In her joy, Xia Wanyuan drank two sses of green plum wine. With her alcohol tolerance, she was drunk when she touched it.

    After a moment of silence, Jun Shiling turned around, downed the red wine in his ss, and strode upstairs.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed.

    Although she was already drunk, Xia Wanyuan was very vignt and resisted the touch of others. The servants wanted to change her pajamas, but she frowned when they approached her.

    Jun Shiling entered and the servants retreated tactfully.

    Although her eyes were closed, Xia Wanyuan seemed to know that Jun Shiling was here. She opened her hand to him and Jun Shiling went forward to hug her.

    The drunk Xia Wanyuan was extremely obedient. She was soft and nodded obediently no matter what he said. Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Jun Shiling, who had a stomach full of thoughts, was also amused by her.

    On the way home, An Rao secretly nced at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bo Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed An Rao, who was peeping.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, did you and CEO Jun quarrel? Why do I feel that you and he seem strange?¡± They were clearly chatting as usual, but An Rao felt that something was wrong.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes flickered. He turned around and patted An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t use your woman¡¯s dawdling theory on a man¡¯s friendship. What¡¯s wrong? I think you¡¯re pregnant and it made you stupid.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± An Rao muttered a little more when she saw Bo Xiao¡¯s calm response. In the end, she felt that she might be imagining things.

    In the Qing University dormitory, Wei Jin leaned on the soft cushion and read.

    Ever since she let Mu Feng spend the night herest time, Mu Feng had been sticking to her every day.

    It was the Lantern Festival today, so Mu Feng had no choice but to return to the Mu family to apany Old Master for the holidays. Before he left, he was reluctant to part with her and instructed Wei Jin to leave the door open for him tonight. He woulde back after dinner.

    It was snowing heavily outside the door. The cold wind whistled in the air, and the bamboo in the courtyard rustled.

    After Wei Jin finished reading a book, she looked down. It was already ten in the evening. She looked at the door and then at her phone. There was no news.

    Wei Jin got up to make tea. Halfway through pouring the water, footsteps came from the courtyard.

    Wei Jin put down the teapot happily and jogged to open the door. Then, she was stunned. ¡°Father.¡±

    p. Wei Zhong walked in and raised his hand, pping Wei Jin to the ground.

    Wei Jin covered her face and looked at Wei Zhong.

    Her face had always been extremely important to the Wei family. Now that Wei Zhong had pped her face, he must be angry.

    Wei Zhong looked around and saw a ck men¡¯s coat on the sofa. His face flushed red with anger. He took a stool from the side and threw it at Wei Jin¡¯s body.

    Wei Jin trembled from the impact. Blood quickly seeped out of her waist.

    ¡°Shameless b*tch, I gave you face, but you don¡¯t want it. You¡¯re just like your b*tch mother, useless thing¡­¡± Wei Zhong scolded as he threw a stack of photos in front of Wei Jin.

    It was the scene of her and Mu Feng walking together on campus.

    ¡°I told you to settle Young Master Jiang. Are you fooling around with men here?¡± Wei Zhong kicked Wei Jin twice, then took out his phone and made a call.

    In the video, a beautiful middle-aged woman was kneeling in the ancestral hall with gritted teeth.

    Wei Jin finally could not take it anymore. ¡°Father, I beg you to let Mother go. I beg you.¡±

    ¡°Let her go? Sure.¡± Wei Zhong squatted down and pinched Wei Jin¡¯s chin. ¡°I¡¯ll give you two days to recuperate. Two dayster, go and find Young Master Jiang. Half a monthter, I¡¯ll get someone to check on you. If you¡¯re not pregnant, I¡¯ll let your mother die with our Wei family.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Zhong stood up. The surrounding bodyguards immediately stepped forward and helped her up.

    To Wei Jin¡¯s surprise, Wei Zhong did not kidnap her. Instead, he let her recuperate in the dormitory. He did not even restrict her personal freedom and allowed her to go out.

    Wei Jin would walk around the campus from the dormitory door every day before returning to the dormitory.

    For two days, she did not receive a single call from Mu Feng, nor did she see that silver hair at the school gate.

    The next evening, Wei Jin received a news notification.

    ¡°The Jiang family wants to marry the Mu family. They¡¯re a match made in heaven.¡±

    On the news were photos of Mu Feng and Jiang Yao.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since the Lantern Festival, Xia Wanyuan had felt that something was wrong with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, are you unhappy?¡± After finishing her work, Xia Wanyuan sat beside Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I don¡¯t want to say it now. I¡¯ll tell you in the future.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped asking and showed Jun Shiling her phone. ¡°I¡¯ll get Chen Yun to put forward the filming of ¡®Let¡¯s Go Out¡¯. Let¡¯s take this opportunity to go out and rx, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Okay.¡±

    At the same time, Strawberry TV Station announced the good news to the audience.

    @ Let¡¯s go on a trip: ¡°The first episode¡¯s recording will begin in a week. Everyone, please look forward to it.¡±

    Theizens were excited by the good news.?<i>We can eat dog food again. The single people are so happy.?</i>

    <h4>Chapter 975: The Princess Saving the Beauty</h4>

    In the Qing University dormitory, Wei Zhong, who had disappeared for two days, appeared at the door again. Seeing Wei Jin¡¯s dazed expression, Wei Zhong was furious. He gestured for the person beside him to check Wei Jin¡¯s injuries.

    The redness on Wei Jin¡¯s face had already faded, and the bruise on her waist had mostly disappeared after two days of special treatment.

    However, the ribs that Wei Zhong had broken did not recover so easily.

    However, to Wei Zhong, it did not matter if Wei Jin was in pain or not. It was fine as long as she looked intact.

    ¡°The Mu family and the Jiang family are discussing the marriage.¡± Wei Zhong walked in and sat on the sofa. ¡°If you abide by your duty and give birth to a child with the blood of the Jiang and Wei families, I¡¯ll agree to divorce your mother and let here to Beijing to reunite with you.¡±

    The dazed Wei Jin only reacted when she heard Wei Zhong¡¯s words. Her expression was calm. ¡°Yes, Father.¡±

    She had also wondered if something had happened to Mu Feng and he could note. However, on the news, the high-spirited Mu Feng had shattered her hopes.

    Support our

    In the end, Wei Jin still felt inferior and timid. Without seeing Mu Feng, Wei Jin was afraid and wavered. <i>Perhaps, Mu Feng was really just ying with me. </i>

    Wei Jin allowed the servants to help her put on her gorgeous clothes andughed at herself. ¡°I can¡¯t even protect my mother, let alone pursue happiness. Besides, that so-called happiness seems to be just a mirage.¡±

    After a while, Wei Jin was finally dressed up. Wei Zhong nced at her in satisfaction. ¡°I¡¯ve raised you for so many years. Now is the time for you to be useful. As long as you¡¯re pregnant with Jiang Kui¡¯s child, the marriage between the Jiang and Wei families will definitely seed.¡±

    Wei Zhong was afraid that a long dy would cause trouble. He had to make Wei Jinpletely stop thinking before he could be relieved. Ever since his daughter had interacted with Xia Wanyuan more, she had be uncontroble.

    Wei Zhong had to seek the greatest benefits for himself while Wei Jin was still under his control.

    Wei Jin¡¯s face was pale as she lowered her head docilely. ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Alright, bring Second Missy to Young Master Jiang¡¯s house.¡± Wei Zhong waved his hand and gestured for the servants to take Wei Jin away.

    Wei Jin was like a puppet that had lost its soul, letting the servants y with her.

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi, Jiang Kui smiled gloomily when he saw Wei Zhong¡¯s message.

    ¡°Hubby ~ What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zou Man handed a grape to Jiang Kui and nced at the message on his phone. ¡°So someone sent you a beauty. I¡¯m jealous.¡±

    Jiang Kui threw his phone away and bit the grape in Zou Man¡¯s hand. He sucked on her finger and spat it out. ¡°Do you think I care for trash thates knocking on my door? If not for the fact that she¡¯s from the Wei family, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered. She¡¯s so wooden, unlike you, little beauty. You¡¯re so flirtatious.¡±

    Zou Man red at Jiang Kui charmingly. ¡°Hmph, then will you let her in?¡±

    ¡°Yes, why not?¡± The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Other than me, aren¡¯t there drivers and grooms in this house? Since the Wei family wants a child so much, I¡¯ll give them one.¡±

    Jiang Kui could naturally tell that the Wei family wanted to restrain him through a child from the two families, but unfortunately, he did not intend to give it to them.

    Someone knocked on the door of the vi quickly. Zou Man twisted her waist and went upstairs. Jiang Kui tidied his clothes and gestured for the servant to open the door.

    Wei Jin was pushed in from the door. Wei Zhong¡¯s men closed the door outside.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Miss Wei?¡± Jiang Kui ced his legs on the table and smiled at Wei Jin. ¡°Why? Miss Wei didn¡¯t eat with Young Master Mu, oh no, my future brother-inw today?¡±

    Facing Jiang Kui¡¯s obvious insult, Wei Jin¡¯s palm, which was about to heal, bled again. ¡°Mr. Jiang, does our marriage contract still count?¡±

    ¡°It counts.¡± Jiang Kui smiled and scanned Wei Jin from top to bottom. ¡°However, Miss Wei, you have to show me some sincerity.¡±

    The soft flesh in Wei Jin¡¯s mouth was about to bleed from her bite. Receiving Jiang Kui¡¯s meaningful gaze, Wei Jin ced her trembling hand on the buttons of her coat.

    The coat fell to the ground with a bang, and the buttons made a crisp sound on the ground.

    Under Wei Jin¡¯s coat, she was wearing a sky-blue knee-length cheongsam. Her perfect figure was visible.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s smile widened. ¡°As expected of a stunner raised by the Wei family in Jiangnan.¡±

    Wei Jin ced her hand on the buckle. One of the carved buttons was loosened, revealing her fair corbone.

    Jiang Kui, who had lost interest in Wei Jin, suddenly had a glint in his eyes.

    <i>There was nothing wrong with ying with this woman. At most, I would y with her and throw her to the driver. </i>

    At that moment, Wei Jin¡¯s entire body was trembling slightly. Her mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and her eyes were filled with tears of humiliation.

    Finally, she exerted strength on the second flower button and it was about to fall open.

    The door was suddenly kicked open.

    ¡°Wei Jin,e here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the door against the light like a god.

    <h4>Chapter 976: Princess Burning the Scumbag; Parent-Child Variety Show</h4>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Wei Jin subconsciously lowered her head. She did not want Xia Wanyuan to see her humiliated appearance.

    Jiang Kui looked up at the door.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple ck coat with a white turtleneck sweater inside. She stood there quietly and looked down at Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui tapped his hand on the sofa twice and slowly smiled.

    <i>Jun Shiling really knew how to find women. This beauty was really spicy and exciting.</i>

    ¡°Wei Jin, put on your clothes ande over,¡± Xia Wanyuan said again.

    Wei Jin trembled before bending down to pick up the coat on the ground and put it on. She slowly walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    Xia Wanyuan handed a few sets of photos to Wei Jin.

    With just a nce, Wei Jin¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at Xia Wanyuan in shock. ¡°Cousin, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡±

    Seeing the deep worry in Wei Jin¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan had a n. ¡°Let me ask you, are youing with me today?¡±

    Struggle shed across Wei Jin¡¯s eyes. Thinking of her mother, who was imprisoned thousands of miles away, she held the photo tightly in her hand. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Cousin.¡±

    ¡°I have a way to deal with what you¡¯re worried about.¡± Xia Wanyuan saw Wei Jin¡¯s hesitation and interrupted her before she could finish.

    Wei Jin widened her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and looked up at Xia Wanyuan.

    Wei Jin felt an inexplicable trust in Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the photo in her hand, Wei Jin finally nodded. ¡°Cousin, I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was relieved to hear Wei Jin¡¯s promise.

    ¡°Madam Jun, you¡¯re so arrogant. You came to my house and took my fianc¨¦e away without telling me?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been here for so long as if she had not seen him, Jiang Kui spoke up.

    Xia Wanyuan finally looked at Jiang Kui, but the disregard in her eyes made Jiang Kui feel that it was better for her to not look at him.

    ¡°I¡¯m also a member of the Wei family. I¡¯m here to take my cousin away. I don¡¯t need to ask the Jiang family for permission.¡±

    Jiang Kui smiled. ¡°That¡¯s true. When I marry Wei Jin, I¡¯ll have to call you cousin. I was too distant.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Wei Jin behind her and looked straight at Jiang Kui with a cold and arrogant gaze. ¡°If you want to marry into the Wei family, why don¡¯t you ask me if I agree?¡±

    Jiang Kui raised an eyebrow. ¡°From what Miss Xia said, Old Madam Wei has already decided to let you control the Wei family?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was calm and confident. ¡°As long as I want to, I can.¡±

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up as he apuded Xia Wanyuan. ¡°To be honest, I really like Miss Xia¡¯s aura. If anything happens to Jun Shiling, I, Jiang Kui, am willing to give Miss Xia a seat.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s disrespect to Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes instantly turned cold. She pped her hands, and the bodyguards who had followed her walked behind her with gasoline cans.

    ¡°Pour.¡± With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s order, the gasoline cans in the bodyguards¡¯ hands were raised. The house was instantly filled with the smell of gasoline.

    Jiang Kui, who had been sitting leisurely on the sofa, immediately stood up. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, what are you doing?!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. She opened the lighter in her hand and threw it on the cab beside her.

    Sparks flew and the prairie burned in seconds.

    A fire dragon quickly sprang up in the house. Xia Wanyuan pulled Wei Jin out.

    ¡°Cousin, will something happen?¡± Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.

    Jiang Kui was the eldest young master of the Jiang family. If anything happened, she was afraid of implicating Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°Of course nothing will happen.¡±

    She had never thought that she could kill the young master of the Jiang family in Beijing by starting a fire. At most, she would make him look bad.

    It was impossible for Jiang Kui to go around telling others that his house had been burned down. If word got out, where would he put his face as the young master of the Jiang family? In the end, he could only suffer this loss himself.

    Seeing how confident Xia Wanyuan was, Wei Jin was relieved. Thinking of the photo just now, Wei Jin was worried again. ¡°Cousin, what happened to Mu Feng?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll know when you reach the hospital with me.¡±

    The car quickly sent Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin to the hospital.

    Through the ss on the door, one could see that in the ICU, Mu Feng was lying on the bed with a venttor. He looked like he was on hisst breath.

    ¡°On the day of the Lantern Festival, the Jiang family forced him to marry the Mu family. Mu Feng rejected them and met with a car ident on the way back to Qing University. He was saved for a day and night.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation made Wei Jin cry.

    Looking at Mu Feng in the intensive care unit, Wei Jin¡¯s palms were already blurry.

    She was worried and sad, but at the same time, she was d.

    It turned out that Mu Feng had not given up on her.

    ¡°Follow me.¡± After standing at the door with Wei Jin for a while, Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked out.

    Wei Jin nced at Mu Feng twice before following.

    In the car, Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Jin quietly. ¡°I¡¯ll only ask you once. What are your concerns? Do you want to marry Mu Feng?¡±

    Wei Jin was silent for a while before finally telling Xia Wanyuan everything.

    The Wei family had been a family for hundreds of years. Even though it was already modern society, the hierarchy in the family was still maintained. Men were the pirs of the family, and women were just vassals.

    This was also why after Old Master Wei passed away, even though Old Madam Wei tried her best to support and expand the Wei family¡¯s scale more than before, she had never obtained the approval of the Wei family.

    In the end, they could only be forced to move the entire family north, and the main branch moved to Beijing.

    Wei Jin¡¯s mother was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Back then, she felt that the Wei family was rich and was a family of poetry and etiquette, so she married them.

    It was only after she got married that she realized that this was a fire pit. Because she only had one daughter, Wei Jin, Wei Jin¡¯s mother was scolded by Wei Zhong all year round and was ced under house arrest in the old residence.

    Wei Jin had worked so hard to learn all sorts of poems and books, trying her best to be a good marriage tool for the Wei family, all for Wei Zhong¡¯s promise.

    Wei Zhong had once promised that as long as Wei Jinpleted what he had instructed, he would put Wei Jin¡¯s mother by her side.

    ¡°Do you think your father will let your mother off so easily? That¡¯s the best leverage to restrain you.¡± After hearing Wei Jin¡¯s story, Xia Wanyuan pointed out the problem.

    Wei Jin lowered her head. ¡°I know.¡±

    <i>I knew that my father would not let me off so easily, but even if there was a glimmer of hope, I wanted to try.?</i>

    ¡°I¡¯ll help you save your mother.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Wei Jin looked up in shock. ¡°Cousin, you?¡±

    ¡°Of course, I have a condition.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about this condition in the future.¡±

    ¡°Okay, as long as Cousin instructs me, I¡¯m willing to agree to anything.¡± Wei Jin trusted Xia Wanyuan 100%. If Xia Wanyuan said that she would save her mother, then her mother would definitely be saved.

    ¡°Alright, go and take care of Mu Feng. I¡¯m going to look for Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. Knowing that Wei Jin was thinking about Mu Feng, she did not say anything more to her.

    In the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was discussing something with Lin Jing in the office when the door was suddenly pushed open. Xia Wanyuan walked in and blinked at Jun Shiling with a smile.

    ¡°Alright, you can leave first.¡± Jun Shiling gestured for Lin Jing to leave and stood up to wee Xia Wanyuan.

    Lin Jing walked out of the office. When he closed the door, he saw the extremely cold Xia Wanyuan in the eyes of outsiders pouncing into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms with a smile.

    Lin Jing adjusted his sses and looked at Jun Shiling, who was smiling like a spring breeze. He could not help but shake his head.<i>?A person in love was really clingy.?</i>

    ¡°Why are you so happy?¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and kissed her dotingly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve recruited a general. I want to get my hands on the Wei family of Jiangnan.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling, her eyes filled with slow dependence and arrogant confidence. Her entire person seemed to be shining.

    Jun Shiling pulled her to the sofa. ¡°Go ahead. You can have whatever you want. I support you.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked like a fatuous ruler. Even if Xia Wanyuan wanted to pluck the stars from the sky, he would be the one to spend money to hire all the factories in the world to build adder for her.

    ¡°Are you very busy today?¡± Xia Wanyuan buried her hand in Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be very busy if you don¡¯te.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and kissed her. ¡°Apany me to work, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I came to look for you anyway. It¡¯s too boring at home.¡±

    ¡°Just because you¡¯re bored?¡± Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°Because I missed you.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling with dimples and sparkling eyes.

    If she did not have to go to work, Xia Wanyuan was willing to stay by Jun Shiling¡¯s side all the time.

    Jun Shiling was satisfied. ¡°I missed you too.¡±

    In the meeting room of the Jun Corporation, all the participants were already in ce, waiting for Jun Shiling toe and preside over the situation.

    Everyone waited for a long time before footsteps finally sounded outside. Lin Jing opened the door and stood by the door. Everyone stood up and greeted Jun Shiling, ¡°CEO.¡±

    Before they could say the word ¡®Jun¡¯, everyone¡¯s voices were stuck in their throats.

    Because beside Jun Shiling was a beautiful woman.

    Everyone was already very familiar with this woman¡¯s appearance.

    Xia Wanyuan, the mistress of the Jun Corporation.

    There was another seat beside Jun Shiling¡¯s seat. Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and sat over.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Madam Jun.¡± After the two of them sat down, everyone greeted them again.

    ¡°Mm, let the meeting begin.¡±

    After Jun Shiling spoke, the meeting continued ording to the established process.

    Halfway through the meeting, everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan with shining eyes. Everyone was thinking how good it would be if Xia Wanyuan could sit beside Jun Shiling every time there was a meeting.

    When Jun Shiling held a meeting alone, he was the King of Hell. Whoever he caught would be unlucky. No one could withstand Jun Shiling¡¯s reprimand.

    When Xia Wanyuan was around, Jun Shiling was unbelievably gentle. He did not say a single harsh word to his subordinates. The employees had the mostfortable meeting in history.

    What shocked everyone even more was that they had thought that Xia Wanyuan was here to apany Jun Shiling. She definitely did not know much about the contents of the meeting.

    However, the truth was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Jun Shiling would seek Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion on every proposal. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various opinions made everyone¡¯s eyes light up.

    To be able to discuss enthusiastically with everyone at the high-level meeting of the Jun Corporation, this was enough to show how professional Xia Wanyuan was and how powerful she was.

    After the meeting ended, everyone looked at each other and sighed. ¡°I thought Xia Wanyuan conquered CEO Jun with her beauty. I didn¡¯t expect this. As expected, a woman who can conquer CEO Jun is really not an ordinary woman.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Wei family¡¯s courtyard.

    ¡°Did she really say that?¡± Old Madam Wei held a cup of tea and looked at the butler.

    ¡°Yes, Old Madam. Many people present heard it. Miss Xia said that as long as she wants to be the sessor of the Wei family, she can.¡± The butler told the Old Madam everything that had happened in the morning.

    He had thought that Matriarch Wei would be very angry when she heard this. Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on Matriarch Wei¡¯s face.

    ¡°What do you think?¡± Matriarch Wei slowly took a sip of tea and looked at the old butler who had followed her for decades.

    ¡°Miss Xia is still young. Although she has Jun Shiling backing her up, isn¡¯t it a little too much to be so arrogant¡­¡± In the butler¡¯s opinion, Old Madam Wei had yet to appoint the next sessor. Xia Wanyuan was an outsider. Her words were a little arrogant.

    Old Madam Wei swallowed the tea. ¡°She¡¯s right. I¡¯ve already decided to hand the Wei family to her.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she ignored the butler¡¯s shock and smiled. ¡°This girl saved Wei Jin today. I¡¯m afraid she didn¡¯t just help Wei Jin. This girl is very ambitious.¡±

    The butler was confused, but the only thing he could clearly sense was that the Wei family¡¯s sky was about to change.

    ¡°Is Zimu not here yet?¡± Matriarch Wei looked out the door and asked.

    ¡°Someone has already gone to rush him. Young Master Zimu will be hereter.¡±

    Just as the butler finished speaking, Wei Zimu arrived.

    ¡°Grandma.¡± Wei Zimu bowed respectfully to Old Madam Wei.

    ¡°Have a seat.¡±

    Wei Zimu sat down and Old Madam Wei dismissed everyone in the room. She looked at Wei Zimu lovingly. ¡°Zimu, although you don¡¯t have the Wei family¡¯s blood, how have I treated you all these years?¡±

    ¡°Grandma, if you hadn¡¯t picked me up from the streets back then, I would have died long ago.¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were filled with respect. ¡°Grandma has treated me well.¡±

    ¡°I know you¡¯re a good child.¡± Old Madam Wei nodded in relief. ¡°I have the heart to protect you, but my health is getting worse year by year.¡±

    ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Pain shed across Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. He saw the white hair on the Old Madam¡¯s head and his face turned even paler.

    ¡°Listen to me.¡± Matriarch Wei stopped Wei Zimu. ¡°All these years, I¡¯ve never treated you as an outsider. Among the younger generation of the Wei family, you¡¯re the person I value the most. Don¡¯t look at how there are so many people in the younger generation of the Wei family. None of them can take on a huge responsibility.¡±

    Old Madam Wei was old and felt a little tired after saying a few words. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before continuing, ¡°The Wei family seems harmonious, but in fact, it¡¯s divided. You can tell that once I abdicate, the entire Wei family will tear apart the surface peace. I have something to entrust to you now. Are you willing to promise me?¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Wei Zimu stood up and bowed 90 degrees to the Old Madam. ¡°I won¡¯t hesitate to die.¡±

    Old Madam Wei took a deep breath. ¡°I want to hand the Wei family over to Xia Wanyuan. I want you to help her take down the Wei family.¡±

    Hearing the Old Madam¡¯s words, Wei Zimu looked up with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Old Madam, Sister Wanyuan means a lot to me. Even if you don¡¯t ask me, I¡¯ll do my best to protect her.¡±

    With Wei Zimu¡¯s guarantee, Matriarch Wei was relieved. She looked at Wei Zimu, who was in front of her, and felt a little regretful. ¡°Originally, I wanted to matchmake you and Xia Wanyuan. What a pity.¡±

    Wei Zimu smiled openly. ¡°Grandma, CEO Jun treats Sister Wanyuan very well.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Matriarch Wei stopped talking. ¡°It¡¯s good that he treats her well. Go and do your work first.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Wei Zimu bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

    Behind her, Matriarch Wei looked at Wei Zimu¡¯s tall back with a hint of worry.

    The municipal construction of Beijing had never been under everyone¡¯s attention.

    However, in the past few days, the construction of the northern region of Beijing had frequently been trending. The reason was simple. This construction involved the traffic of two nuclear bombs.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    The originalmercial center of the North District was located in the north section of Xingyuan Road, where Camellia¡¯s gship store was located.

    Inparison, the southern section across the road seemed very cold and cheerless. There was nomercial center to rely on. The rental price of the shops in the southern section was nearly half of the northern section, and the southern section was where Xiu Yi¡¯s shop was located.

    Of course this was before.

    Because during this period of time, everyone realized that construction had begun in the south.

    The Jun Corporation had moved the headquarters of its financial institutions and clothingpanies to this ce.

    There were even rumors that the next building of the Jun Corporation would be developed in the south.

    Due to the huge attraction effect of the Jun Corporation, the nning bureau in this area specially changed the traffic route for thepany migration of the Jun Corporation.

    Originally, the traffic at Xiu Yi was not smooth. After modification, the road to Xiu Yi was t, and the surrounding low prices increased greatly.

    As a former business center, many people in the northern region were actually looking down on it.

    When this news spread online, everyone guessed that the change by the Jun Corporation might really cause amotion in the North District.

    ¡°Let me say something. This matter has been traced back to the root. Perhaps CEO Jun is standing up for Xia Wanyuan. Everyone, take a look at the news back then. Xiu Yi¡¯s original shop address is actually where Camellia is now. Back then, before the contract time was up, Camellia chased Xiu Yi opposite with her wealth and upied the best position in this business center.¡±

    [Um, thank you for being generous. If you chase my wife out of the business center, I¡¯ll move it to another location. Awesome ss.]

    [ Ah, this¡­ If your analysis is true, thatndlord still deserves it. She clearly signed the contract and still broke it. Back then, Xiu Yi¡¯s shop renovation cost a lot of money, but in the end, it was all pushed down and redone. ]

    [In terms of doting on his wife, CEO Jun is very good at it. When can I meet someone who can build a business center for me in order to improve my shop¡¯s business?]

    Camellia, who was discussed by everyone, had a headache.

    It was already very good that the traffic at Xiu Yi was not smooth. Now that the line was connected, there was no one at Camellia¡¯s side. The poprity at Xiu Yi¡¯s side seemed to be mocking their failure.

    ¡°Contact Miss Zou Man immediately!¡± The in-charge decided not to sit and wait for death. He had toe up with a n to expand the market.

    The call took a long time to connect. Zou Man¡¯s tone was very impatient. She hung up after saying, ¡°Got it. I¡¯lle over tomorrow to discuss.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan! It¡¯s Xia Wanyuan again!! Why is she haunting me?!¡± Zou Man looked hatefully at the burnt hair in her hand and gritted her teeth in anger.

    When Xia Wanyuan set fire to the Jiang family that day, Zou Man was in the bedroom on the second floor. When she realized that there was a fire, the stairs were already filled with mes.

    Zou Man had no choice but to jump down from the balcony on the second floor.

    In the end, not only was her hair burned, but there were also severalrge bruises on her body.

    Jiang Kui seemed to be a loving person, but he was actually ruthless. Seeing her injured like this, not only did he not feel any heartache, but he also despised her ugly wound. Heforted her with a few words and sent her home, instructing her to recover before looking for him.

    Although Jiang Kui was ruthless in the past, he would still dote on her. Ever since Xia Wanyuan appeared, this man had be more and more impatient with her.

    Zou Man was familiar with the ways of men and women. How could she not sense Jiang Kui¡¯s disdain for her and his interest in Xia Wanyuan?

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Zou Man threw theb at the mirror. The mirror shattered into thousands of pieces. Zou Man ignored it and walked out of the bathroom to make a call. Her voice was sweet. ¡°Hello, Hubby, can you do me a favor?¡±

    With Jiang Kui¡¯s promise, Zou Man closed her phone smugly. ¡°Genius designer? More like giarizing a designer.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Under the daily urging of theizens, ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡±¡®s official Weibo finally announced the variety show form and time.

    @ ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡±: ¡°Thank you for everyone¡¯s attention. This season, ¡®Let¡¯s Go Out¡¯ will greatly extend the duration of the program. It will be edited in real time and broadcasted in real time to increase its interaction with everyone.¡±

    The guestsfor the first episode had been confirmed. There were a total of three groups of couples.

    Group One: Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan

    Group Two: Yang Wei, Zhang Nian

    Group Three: Lin Lei, Qin Jiao

    The production team is speeding up their preparations. The first episode¡¯s recording location will be in a warm town in the south. Everyone, pleasee with us ~¡±

    The moment the production team¡¯s statement was released, it immediately caused a hugemotion.

    Theizens cried out loud.<i>?We finally waited for it toe.</i>

    The recording of the program was five days. Jun Shiling specially resolved most of the important meetings in advance and left a small portion of work for remote meetings.

    In order to free up these five days, Jun Shiling could only work overtime until midnight every day before leaving thepany.

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan would go to thepany every night to wait for Jun Shiling to get off work. Sometimes, she would fall asleep while waiting. When she woke up, she was already lying in the bedroom at home.

    The employees of the Jun Corporation went from shock to habit to envy. It was no wonder that CEO Jun held Madam in his hands. If they could have a wife who waited for them to get off work every day until midnight, they would also provide for her.

    <h4>Chapter 977: Bo Xiao¡¯s Truth; Variety Show Begins</h4>

    Finally, after thest important meeting, Jun Shiling strode back to the office. On the sofa, Xia Wanyuan was covered with a nket and curled up into a small ball. The light fell on her, scattering gentleness.

    Jun Shiling approached. Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed. Her long eyshes fluttered gently. Jun Shiling looked at the time. It was already 12: 30 am.

    He went forward and picked Xia Wanyuan up. Xia Wanyuan moved uneasily. Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Sensing a familiar smell, Xia Wanyuan let down her guard and slept peacefully in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Not long after the car left, Xia Wanyuan woke up. She opened her eyes and saw that she was already in the car. Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°Are we almost there?¡±

    ¡°We just set off. Sleep a while more.¡± Jun Shiling wrapped the nket tighter around her. ¡°Don¡¯t wait for me tomorrow. It¡¯s toote. It¡¯s the same if you wait for me at home.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°That¡¯s different.¡±

    ¡°How is it different?¡±

    Support our

    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s different.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not say why. She rubbed Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder twice. ¡°I just want to wait for you.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart softened. On one hand, his heart ached for her fatigue, and on the other hand, his love had materialized and fused into his blood, surging to every corner of his body.

    Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan sit up. Xia Wanyuan still looked a little unwilling. ¡°What? I want to lie down. Lying down isfortable.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s arms were soft and warm. Xia Wanyuan did not want to get up.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dissatisfied expression, Jun Shiling smiled bitterly helplessly. He leaned forward and whispered into her ear, ¡°Stop lying down. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help but want you in the car.¡±

    An intense emotional reaction drove an intense physiological reaction. Every time his surging love for Xia Wanyuan rose, Jun Shiling always wanted to possess herpletely.

    ......

    In front of Xia Wanyuan, he could not control both reactions.

    Xia Wanyuan widened her eyes slightly. Although she was still a little shy, she had eaten meat for so long after all, so she was not particrly shy about these things. ¡°Beast.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling took a step back and tried his best not to let the smell of Xia Wanyuan enter his surroundings. ¡°I¡¯m a beast.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was clearly very dissatisfied with Jun Shiling¡¯s retreat. She frowned and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be too far away from me. I want to lean on you.¡±

    Jun Shiling sighed and could only take another step towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm again, but she was still not satisfied. ¡°Hug me. I¡¯m cold.¡±

    ¡°Are you doing it on purpose?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was already a little hoarse. ¡°Stop provoking me.¡±

    Even so, he could not stand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pitiful expression and hugged her again.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling. In the cold winter, there was a thinyer of sweat on Jun Shiling¡¯s forehead. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered, and her hand, which had been ced in the nket, secretly reached out.

    Jun Shiling looked out of the window. There was still nearly an hour¡¯s drive to home. For the first time, he hoped that time would pass faster. Just as he was about to lower his head and say something to Xia Wanyuan, his expression suddenly turned cold. He froze and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Stop fooling around.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was rather stern, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.

    ¡°I¡¯m not fooling around.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling, her eyes shining. ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing became heavier. He looked at Xia Wanyuan fixedly.

    ¡°The driver can¡¯t see.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned forward, and the heat pounced on Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. The words she said made Jun Shiling¡¯s blood surge.

    Jun Shiling reached out and untied the nket on Xia Wanyuan, covering the two of them.

    The night was heavy, and the wheels creaked on the snow.

    ¡°Harder...¡± This was Jun Shiling¡¯s heavy breathing.

    After some time, the nket covering the two of them was pulled away.

    Breathing in the fresh air, Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Liar.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling, who was half-full, had spring in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m a liar.¡±

    Not long after, the car arrived at the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan was already extremely sleepy, and Jun Shiling did not n to torture her anymore. He ced her under the nket. ¡°Baby, good night.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°Mm, goodnight.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan fall asleep, Jun Shiling turned around and walked to the study. He entered a secret website and typed in a few lines of information. Soon, the information he wanted was sent over.

    Theputer shed, reflecting in Jun Shiling¡¯s dark pupils.

    There was a very niche text on the screen.

    ¡°Bo Xiao appeared in Ye City two months ago.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned and typed a few words on the keyboard before pressing send.

    Without him by her side, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep well. After sending the message, Jun Shiling left the study.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was indeed unconsciously leaning on Jun Shiling¡¯s pillow. Jun Shiling washed up briefly and got into bed. The moment he approached Xia Wanyuan, she quietened down.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On An Rao¡¯s side, she was happy with Bo Xiao every day and lived an extremelyfortable pregnant life.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, give our child a name.¡± Touching her stomach that was starting to curve, An Rao smiled and looked at Bo Xiao. ¡°Do you want a boy or a girl?¡±

    Bo Xiao was peeling grapes for An Rao. Hearing this, he brought a grape without seeds to An Rao¡¯s mouth. ¡°I like both. I like girls more, like you.¡±

    ¡°Then give her a name.¡± Although she knew that Bo Xiao did not favor boys over girls at all, hearing his answer personally still made An Rao very happy.

    ¡°Bo Mu¡¯an.¡± Bo Xiao said a name without thinking.

    Bo Mu¡¯an, Bo Xiao loved An Rao.

    An Rao hugged the Lian Po soft toy happily. ¡°How can you be so sloppy?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Bo Xiao fed An Rao grapes one by one. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. ¡°No, it¡¯s better to have a son.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao in confusion. ¡°Do you favor boys over girls?¡±

    Bo Xiao scratched An Rao¡¯s nose helplessly. ¡°What are you thinking? I want a son because a son can protect you.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked into An Rao¡¯s eyes seriously with a deep love that An Rao could not understand. ¡°I want a son.¡±

    <i>Even if I¡¯m not around anymore, our son will be by your side to protect you.</i>

    An Rao suddenly felt that Bo Xiao had a weight that she could not see through. ¡°Can¡¯t we have a son in the future? It¡¯s not like we¡¯ll only have one.¡±

    Bo Xiao retracted his gaze and continued to peel the grapes seriously. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. Then a son first, and we will have a daughter in the future.¡±

    An Rao did not know why Bo Xiao was suddenly so stubborn. She wanted to ask him again, but the pregnant woman was sleepy and ate a pile of grapes. Her stomach was full of sleepiness. As An Rao spoke to Bo Xiao, she slowly fell asleep.

    Bo Xiao ced her in the bedroom before walking to the bathroom and taking off his coat. His heart shone with a soybean-sized red light. When he had just returned, it was clearly just an extremely small dot.

    At that moment, themunicator in his pocket rang. Bo Xiao took it out and pressed the answer button.

    ¡°You want to remove this chip so much?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s cold voice came from themunicator.

    Bo Xiao was shocked.

    ¡°Are you very surprised?¡± Yu Qianughed. ¡°I don¡¯t think I told you that this chip can sense your emotions, right?¡±

    With that, Yu Qian did not wait for Bo Xiao to answer and continued, ¡°I want it. Go and get it for me.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?! I don¡¯t have that authority.¡± Bo Xiao rejected without thinking.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Yu Qian looked at the disy in front of him. ¡°Are you prepared to be punished with a death wish? I heard that your little wife is three months pregnant? I¡¯m afraid this is the most unstable time. What do you think will happen to your little wife if something happens to you?¡±

    An Rao liked to pester Bo Xiao to begin with, and it was even more so after she was pregnant. She would cry if she did not see Bo Xiao for a while. Bo Xiao could not imagine what would happen to An Rao if anything happened to him.

    ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s voice was deep.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Qian smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t y the dying game with me. I want aplete map and information.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Bo Xiao hung up.

    Looking at the time, it had already been more than five minutes. An Rao was probably looking for him again. Bo Xiao washed his face with cold water, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

    As expected, An Rao was already awake. She was sitting in a daze. When she saw Bo Xiao walk in, An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Bo Xiao, where did you go?!¡±

    ¡°Wash my face.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and went forward to hold An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°Sleep quickly. I¡¯ll watch you from the side.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then you¡¯re not allowed to leave.¡± An Rao smiled at Bo Xiao. ¡°Bo Xiao, you¡¯re so good-looking.¡±

    A smile shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯m not leaving.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao held Bo Xiao¡¯s hand tightly and gradually fell asleep.

    Beside the bed, Bo Xiao¡¯s figure had not moved.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Other than the poprity of ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡±, Zou Man¡¯s poprity had also gradually increased recently.

    With the title of ¡°genius designer¡±, coupled with the fact that Camellia was a globally famous brand, as the designer of Camellia, Zou Man received extremely high attention domestically and internationally.

    Taking advantage of this time, Camellia and Zou Man jointly created a spring fashion show specially for the Chinese market.

    With the Jiang family stepping forward and bribing all sorts of fake reviewers, news of this spring show could be seen everywhere on the Inte.

    The intellectual and elegant spring clothes were disyed by the models one by one.

    Zou Man grew up overseas and studied under international top designers. Her stylepletely matched international aesthetics and was praised internationally.

    The domestic marketing ount took screenshots of all the foreign praises and sent them to China.

    ¡°Zou Man is really amazing. Her show has already been praised by foreigners. All the big shots and designers have a high evaluation of Zou Man¡¯s design. It¡¯s not an exaggeration to call her the light of China.¡±

    The apanying photos were of Zou Man holding a trophy and standing with the models in high spirits.

    [I agree with this Chinese light. Chinese fashion has actually never been able to get out of the situation overseas. Now that so many designer big shots praise her, I feel very proud, haha.]

    [ Is my focus only on her looks? She¡¯s too beautiful. Boohoo, boohoo, are all the designers so good-looking? Zou Man is so beautiful, and so is Xia Wanyuan. I really can¡¯t live anymore. ]

    [This is a real genius designer. These clothes are so beautiful. I¡¯ll go snatch them first. Bye.]

    Zou Man was indeed talented and professional. In addition to her exquisite appearance and superior family background, she had won the favor of countless people.

    In just a few days, Zou Man had be the ¡°Light of China¡± and ¡°Genius Designer¡± that everyone on the Inte knew.

    On her Weibo, the person everyone mentioned the most was Xia Wanyuan. There were always countless people whopared her to Xia Wanyuan.

    Regarding this, Zou Man replied helplessly to ament which said, ¡°Xia Wanyuan is also called a genius designer. I wonder who is more amazing, hahaha.¡±

    Zou Man: ¡°We¡¯re all young people and I have always admired Miss Xia¡¯s design. I mustmunicate with her when I have the chance. We¡¯re all Chinese. It¡¯s fine as long as we can contribute to China¡¯s design industry. Actually, there¡¯s no need to worry about who¡¯s more amazing. I believe Miss Xia thinks so too.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s response was magnanimous and reasonable, immediately gaining everyone¡¯s favor.

    [Is this the legendary youngdy with a good family background, a good personality, talent, and humility? She seems to be getting along well.]

    [ Uh... Am I the only one who feels that it¡¯s a little fake? Camellia and Xiu Yi already have bad rtions. Zou Man is already Camellia¡¯s designer. If she doesn¡¯t feel awkward that she still has to go and be friends with Xiu Yi¡¯s designer, Xia Wanyuan. I feel that she¡¯s a little hypocritical. ]

    [ The person in front, your ugly face of jealousy is really scary. Zou Man¡¯s family is super rich. She designs for fun. So what if she wants to be friends with Xia Wanyuan? You can evene up with a conspiracy theory. I¡¯m really speechless. ]

    There were still very few people who questioned her. After all, Zou Man¡¯s bright resume was there, and her beautiful face naturally aroused everyone¡¯s good impression.

    Many nosyizens flooded Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo and leftments, reminding her in all sorts of ways, ¡°Zou Man wants to be friends with you¡± and ¡°Zou Man wants tomunicate with you¡±.

    The fans¡¯ territory was instantly flooded by thesements. The fans were furious and rolled up their sleeves to argue with the passers-by.

    The passers-by said, ¡°You brainless fans care so much. Even if Xia Wanyuan and Zou Man, these two rich beauties, are friends, it¡¯s not your turn to question them.¡± They instantly pped down the fans¡¯ arrogance.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo was in chaos. More and more people surged to watch her and Zou Man do a fashion show.

    However, everyone only cheered for ten minutes because ten minutester,

    Xia Wanyuanpletely closed the Weiboments and set it so that no one was allowed toment.

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan posted a Weibo post.

    There was also a photo of Jun Shiling looking at the design. In the photo, Jun Shiling was wearing simple home clothes and a pair of gold-rimmed sses. He was looking at the design in his hand seriously.

    @ Xia Wanyuan (Star): ¡°@ Jun Shiling (Moon) is my husband, my lover, a good teacher, a good friend, a family member, and a ymate. Someone who will share everything with me.¡±

    ][ Xia Wanyuan is hinting everyone not to casually find friends for her, right? She already has CEO Jun. Why would she need other friends? ]

    [Boohoo, what a mouthful of dog food. Is this love real?]

    [ Damn, am I the only one whose focus has shifted? CEO Jun, I¡¯m dead. I originally wanted to use this photo as a dream material tonight, but on second thought, I¡¯m not worthy. I can¡¯t look as good as Xia Wanyuan in my dream. ]

    Originally, because Zou Man¡¯s Weibo had already pointed a sharp spearhead at Xia Wanyuan, it was resolved by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s simple and straightforward disy of affection.

    Zou Man had wanted to use this Weibo post to make Xia Wanyuan unable to back down. After all, no matter how she answered, she would be found out. However, she never expected Xia Wanyuan to give such a response, causing her thoughts to be wasted.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Looking at the public opinion that had instantly changed, Zou Man rolled her eyes. ¡°What a ruthless character. It seems that I¡¯ve underestimated her.¡±

    Beijing Hospital.

    The monitor¡¯s sound sounded regrly. Wei Jin leaned against the bed to rest, her hand on Mu Feng¡¯s wrist.

    On the bed, Mu Feng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly trembled. He frowned slightly and opened his eyes with difficulty. Sensing the weight on his wrist, Mu Feng lowered his head slightly and saw Wei Jin sleeping by the bed.

    The corners of Mu Feng¡¯s lips twitched slightly. He wanted to say something, but his breathing was blurry.

    The monitor¡¯s sound changed slightly. Wei Jin suddenly looked up and met Mu Feng¡¯s open eyes.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?!¡± Wei Jin stood up excitedly and quickly ran out the door. ¡°Doctor, pleasee and take a look. He¡¯s awake!¡±

    Soon, the experts came over and did a full examination. The experts nodded at Wei Jin. ¡°Young Master Mu¡¯s injuries are not a big problem. Next, he needs to recuperate.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Doctor.¡± Hearing the experts¡¯ words, Wei Jin was finally relieved. She sent the doctors out of the ward. When she returned, Mu Feng had already taken off the respirator himself.

    ¡°Mu Feng, the doctor said that you still need a venttor for the time being.¡± Wei Jin stepped forward to put it on him again. Mu Feng shook his head gently. ¡°Wait.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin sat beside him. ¡°Do you feel better? You must tell me if you feel ufortable...¡±

    Hearing Wei Jin¡¯s nagging, a smile shed across Mu Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Come closer.¡±

    Now, Wei Jin would listen to whatever Mu Feng said. She hurriedly leaned closer. Mu Feng¡¯s hand moved. Wei Jin held his hand and followed his gaze to ce his hand on her face.

    Mu Feng¡¯s fingers moved. ¡°You¡¯re crying.¡±

    Only then did Wei Jin wipe her eyes with her hand. When had Wei Jin ever had such a moment? She hurriedly took a piece of paper from the side and wiped the tears on her face.

    Looking at Wei Jin, whose eyes were red and swollen, the corners of Mu Feng¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Do you like me very much now?¡±

    Wei Jin was stunned with red eyes. Looking at the haggard and pale Mu Feng, Wei Jin¡¯s heart ached as if it had been grabbed. She nodded. ¡°Yes, get well quickly. Didn¡¯t you want me to watch yourpetition? I¡¯ll go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Mu Feng moved his hand. Wei Jin immediately reached out and held Mu Feng. Mu Feng closed his eyes in satisfaction.

    The ward fell silent again.

    At this moment, what flowed was no longer anxiety and anxiety, but a faint warmth.

    It was not until the day of the broadcast that everyone knew how important Strawberry TV Station was to ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡±.

    As the most influential andmercial television station in China, every minute and second of screening time was extremely precious.

    However, for this ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡± variety show, Strawberry TV had specially given an afternoon prime time slot. It was a full seven hours that was specially used to screen this variety show.

    The television station was broadcasting the edited scene. At the same time, Strawberry TV Station had also opened a live broadcast channel online that would be broadcasted 24 hours a day.

    On the day of the broadcast, before the guests appeared, the number of online viewers had already reached nearly ten million.

    As the morning sun gradually rose, the photography team brought people to the guests¡¯ homes.

    When the camera showed a manor, the photographers were shocked.

    The audience was also stunned.

    <h4>Chapter 978: The Mansion Shocked Everyone</h4>

    Among the three groups of guests, Lin Lei and Qin Jiao were an old couple who had been married for 50 years. The couple lived in a quiet courtyard in the suburbs. They nted a stack of vegetables and raised a few chickens and ducks. It was quite peaceful and leisurely.

    When the photography team arrived, the couple was already up and walking in the forest park.

    Yang Wei and Zhang Nian were a middle-aged couple. Yang Wei was a famous retired athlete. Zhang Nian was an old actor that the audience was very familiar with. Their child had just entered high school, and the couple lived in the bustling downtown area.

    When the photography team entered, Zhang Nian was preparing breakfast for her son. It was only six in the morning. Seeing this scene, the audience sighed. <i>So celebrities would also worry about their children¡¯s school like ordinary people.</i>

    The most eye-catching thing would always be ced at the back.

    After sending the couple to the airport, the photography team finally drove to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s house under the urging of thements.

    [Oh my god, although I can¡¯t afford to live in the richest house in my life, I¡¯ll be satisfied if I can take a look. Photographer, hurry up!]

    There was no eleration in the live-stream, so the audience apanied the photographer for half an hour until the car turned into a remote path.

    Just as everyone was wondering if the photography team had gone to the wrong ce,

    In the scene, the sound of running water suddenly heard. It was already dawn. After another turn,

    an extremely magnificent manor that upied arge area suddenly appeared in front of them.

    Although it was winter, the manor was green and filled with flowers. It was as if the cold outside could not invade this ce at all.

    ......

    The production team passed through the door in fear. At the door, two rows of servants in neat uniforms stood. Under their guidance, the production team arrived at the main building in a private car.

    The scenery in the manor was all designed by world-renowned masters. Every ce revealed a low-profile beauty. The photographers kept taking photos of the surrounding scenery.

    Even in a private car, it took a long time to reach the main building.

    In the garden,rge patches of plum blossoms were blooming proudly and slowly emitting fragrance.

    The servants stood in front of the door and opened the main building¡¯s door for the production team. A dazzling feeling surged over. The tall marble pirs and huge crystalmpsplemented each other.

    [ F*ck! Isn¡¯t this Beijing? The legendary ce where every inch ofnd is worth gold. Is it serious? Poverty limits my imagination. ]

    [... I don¡¯t know what to say. Let¡¯s pay ourst respects to everyone.]

    Although reality shows paid attention to sudden attacks and real disys, and the production team usually liked to raid the guest¡¯s bedroom,

    However, this time, everyone stood in the living room downstairs awkwardly. No one dared to go upstairs and disturb Jun Shiling¡¯s rest.

    They did not wait long before Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling came downstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan still looked tired, but she could not hide her beauty. Jun Shiling hugged her waist and slowly went downstairs.

    From the photographer¡¯s perspective, the two of them hadpletely walked the stairs like a catwalk show.

    The next second, the little dumpling who jumped down from upstairs broke the high-level feeling of this scene.

    ¡°Mommy! Good morning! Daddy, good morning too!¡± Xiao Bao was full of energy.

 Chapter 979 - Arrival of the Parent-Child Variety Show

    <h4>Chapter 979: Arrival of the Parent-Child Variety Show</h4>

    ¡°Morning.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    Xiao Bao was wearing a yellow sweater with a Pikachu printed on it, making his smiling face look fair and tender. His big eyes had an attachment to Xia Wanyuan that melted the hearts of the audience.

    The three of them sat at the dining table to eat. Some carefulizens recognized that this dining table was the one that had appeared during Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast.

    The stool was ced high and Xiao Bao could not go up. He blinked his big eyes at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, I can¡¯t go up.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out to drag Xiao Bao by the clothes at back of his neck and carried him to the chair. Xiao Bao was used to this way of sitting on the chair. He sat down obediently and began to eat breakfast.

    Everyone thought that in this family, Xiao Bao needed to be taken care of when he ate, but to everyone¡¯s surprise,

    Xiao Bao obediently chewed on the custard bun and drank the warm milk. His mouth was puffed up like a hamster and he did not need anyone¡¯s help.

    Support our

    On the other hand, on the other side of the dining table, Jun Shiling was peeling eggs for Xia Wanyuan. He carefully blew the hot porridge cold and ced it beside her.

    [Poor baby... Why do I suddenly pity the little darling?]

    [I¡¯m jealous. I thought I could only see such a scene in novels. Who would have thought that such a handsome, rich, and doting man really existed in reality?]

    After dinner, Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao to the airport and embarked on the journey to the recording venue.

    The other two groups of guests had already boarded the ne with the production team and left. The production team carefully followed Jun Shiling onto the Jun family¡¯s private ne. They sighed and felt emotional in their hearts that they could also take the Jun Corporation¡¯s ne in their lifetimes.

    The flight time was about three hours.

    ......

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and read, while Jun Shiling connected with Lin Jing remotely beside her and guided thepany.

    On the carpet on the back of the sofa, Xiao Bao sat on the ground and secretly took out a candy from under the carpet. He looked around and did not find any photographers taking photos of him.

    Xiao Bao was relieved. He carefully opened the candy wrapper and the milky fragrance wafted over. Xiao Bao¡¯s ck grape-like eyes immediately lit up.

    However, what Xiao Bao did not expect was that all his actions were transmitted to the live-stream through the hidden camera. The audience in the live-stream was extremely excited by his cute appearance.

    Xiao Bao picked up the milk candy and stuffed it into his mouth. However, just as he was about to eat it, arge hand picked him up from behind.

    ¡°Throw it away.¡± Jun Shiling reprimanded him with a cold expression. ¡°If you don¡¯t control yourself by not the sweet food now, what will happen to you when you have rotten teeth in the future?¡±

    ¡°No, Mommy and Daddy don¡¯t have rotten teeth, and I won¡¯t inherit them.¡± Xiao Bao tried to quibble.

    ¡°Throw it.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words were concise.

    Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling pitifully and then reluctantly at the milk candy.<i> What a waste. </i>

    Xiao Bao reached out and handed the milk candy to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, do you want to eat it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it and ced it in her mouth. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±

    Xiao Bao was happy again.

    <i>Although I could not eat it, Mommy is my favorite person. If Mommy ate it, it meant that I ate it too! </i>

    ¡°Alright, stop holding him up. Put him down.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    Jun Shiling put Xiao Bao down and Xiao Bao ran away. ¡°Daddy, I don¡¯t like you anymore.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°You always spoil him.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t I always spoil you too?¡± A dimple appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, and the sweet smell of milk candy lingered beside her.

    Jun Shiling reached out to pull her, but Xia Wanyuan looked at him reproachfully. ¡°We¡¯re recording.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan and wrapped her in his arms. ¡°Just watch.¡±

    He had wanted to restrain himself from getting too close to Xia Wanyuan with the camera on, but he could onlyst fifteen minutes at most.

    Now, fifteen minutes had passed.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling in amusement and did not object anymore. She nestled in his arms and read.

    Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan. The sunlight shone through the window and cast a small shadow on her face. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes overflowed with gentleness and he could not help but kiss her forehead.

    Feeling the warmth on her forehead, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with starlight. She smiled and covered her face with the book. ¡°If you continue to mess around, I¡¯ll sit on the other side.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± A smile appeared on Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Stop fooling around. Continue reading.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not reading anymore.¡± The sun shone on her face, making her feel warm and sleepy. Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep for a while.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling said as he adjusted his posture to make Xia Wanyuan lie morefortably. He took a nket from the side and covered Xia Wanyuan with it, then looked at the document in his hand.

    The cabin was silent. In the live-stream, there were so manyments that one could not see their faces.

    [ I dide with the mentality of eating dog food, but I really didn¡¯t expect these two to be so sweet. Boohoo, didn¡¯t they say that rich people are cold and heartless? I was deceived. ]

    [ Four wordse to mind. The years are peaceful. ]

    [ As Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan, I want to sigh. I¡¯ve never seen such a soft and cute Xia Wanyuan. Seriously, I¡¯m so envious of CEO Jun. He can hug the fragrant and soft Yuan Yuan. Boohoo, I can feel the fragrance on Yuan Yuan through the screen. ]

    Three hourster, the ne arrived at its destination.

    Although Jun Shiling and the others had set offte, they were faster and were the first to arrive. There was still some time, so Xia Wanyuan suggesteding out for a walk.

    Beijing was still covered in snow, but this small town in the southernmost part of China was as warm as spring. The streets were filled with all sorts of flowers, and the green trees were lush. Their gazes shone on the river that ran through the entire town, sparkling.

    Xiao Bao, who was wearing a cotton jacket, was sweating profusely after taking two steps after getting off the ne. He scratched his furry clothes and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, it¡¯s so hot.¡±

    They did not bring any servants for this program. There were only three of them. Xiao Bao did not want Xia Wanyuan to be tired, so he looked for Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling looked at him in disdain. In the end, he reached out and took off his clothes.

    ¡°I¡¯m so hot too.¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling went forward to unbutton Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coat and took off her scarf to put it in his arm. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡±

    Under Xiao Bao¡¯s strong request, Xia Wanyuan was also wearing a light yellow sweater underneath, making her look extremely energetic. Standing with Xiao Bao, they looked like a mother and son.

    There were ducks and geese swimming in the river by the roadside. Xiao Bao excitedly pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand to take a look.

    The mother and son squatted by the river and fed the ducks easily. Four extremely simr dimples were faintly discernible. Jun Shiling was wearing a straight suit and holding the mother and son¡¯s clothes in his arms. He stood not far away and waited.

    Jun Shiling had sponsored arge amount of money for this program. The production team did not dare to let their sugar daddy be tired. They sent someone to help Jun Shiling get his clothes, but Jun Shiling waved his hand and rejected their good intentions.

    [This scene... is too gentle. I¡¯m going to fall in love with Jun Shiling. This is what I dreamed of doing today. I want Jun Shiling to hold my clothes too.]

    [You in front, stop dreaming. Wash off your sleepiness.]

    [How does Xia Wanyuan look like she has given birth before? She¡¯s too young. No one will suspect if I say she¡¯s Xiao Bao¡¯s sister. We¡¯re both 22 years old. Look at me, I¡¯m crying.]

    ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡± had already prepared a ce for the guests to stay when they set off. Now, the three of them walked slowly along the river and searched for their residence on the map.

    It was almost noon, and there was already smoke in the town. The smell of food from somewhere aroused everyone¡¯s appetite.

    Although they could not see what everyone was doing, they could imagine all kinds of fragrance. The east was making braised fish, the right was making green pepper shredded pork, and the front was cooking pork ribs soup. There was also a hint of sweetness. It should be steamed soft sweet potatoes.

    Xiao Bao secretly swallowed his saliva. ¡°I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was also hungry. Wearing high heels, her legs were a little sore after walking for a long time. Coupled with the invasion of the various food smells in the air, she felt very tired.

    ¡°Mommy, are you tired?¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan with wide eyes, his face filled with concern. Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, carry Mommy on your back. It¡¯s so hard for Mommy to wear high heels.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao with rare approval and squatted down. ¡°I¡¯ll carry you.¡±

    Even with the camera, Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to be pretentious. Anyway, she was indeed tired, so she climbed onto Jun Shiling¡¯s back.

    ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ll sing you our kindergarten¡¯s new nursery rhyme!!¡± Afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be bored, Xiao Bao sang to make her happy as he walked.

    [God¡¯s son, sob sob sob, so cute.]

    [How did she give birth to such a sensible and filial child? At his age, my son only wanted to be carried by adults every day. Who would have thought that Mommy would work hard too?]

    [I don¡¯t know if I should still watch this variety show. I keep feeling that if I continue watching, my mentality will be unbnced. Gods are a family.]

    After walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at the residence of the production team.

    This was a small courtyard at the edge of a small town. There were all sorts of vegetables and fruits nted by the family in the courtyard. Although it was not as luxurious as the Jun family¡¯s manor, it was very clean and the corners were shining.

    The interior of the house was very simple. The wooden frame of the house was interesting.

    There were all sorts of cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and even a little rabbit in the courtyard. Xiao Bao was extremely excited and squatted by the fence to feed the rabbit with carrots.

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to pack her things in the house, tidied the bedding, and arranged the daily necessities they had brought.

    Jun Shiling brought a basin of water over to wipe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Lie down for a while. I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m done cooking.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned and shrank into the freshly made bed.

    Then, Jun Shiling walked downstairs with the basin. Seeing Xiao Bao pulling the rabbit¡¯s tail, he frowned. ¡°Nonsense,e and wash your face.¡±

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao secretly made a face. He turned around and smiled brightly at Jun Shiling. He ran over eagerly. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m so hungry. What are we eating?¡±

    Xiao Bao was about to reach into the basin when Jun Shiling grabbed his hand. ¡°Stop washing. Let¡¯s go and cook. You help.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao was very conscious. ¡°Daddy, let¡¯s do it quickly, or Mommy will be hungry.¡±

 Chapter 980 - Like Daddy; Stick to Daddy

    <h4>Chapter 980: Like Daddy; Stick to Daddy</h4>

    There were some vegetables and meat stored in the fridge. Jun Shiling took some out and sent Xiao Bao to wash the vegetables under the tap outside.

    In the small courtyard of the farm, there was no modern gas stove, only a y stove.

    Everyone thought that someone like Jun Shiling probably could not even recognize which stove was, let alone cook with this.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Jun Shiling skillfully picked up a foam board and used it as a fuse. He first stuffed some thin branches into the stove, then lit the foam board and ced it in. After the fire burned, he cedrger firewood in. The stove that was filled with ck holes quickly lit up.

    The fire had already been lit. Jun Shiling poured a fewdles of water inside and went out to get the vegetables.

    On the stone b outside the door, vegetables were scattered all over the ground. After all, Xiao Bao had never done these before, so he was covered in water.

    Seeing Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao pursed his lips and his eyes turned red. ¡°Daddy, I don¡¯t know how.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile, the audience thought that Jun Shiling would reprimand him even more severely than scolding Xiao Bao for eating milk candy. However, Jun Shiling stepped forward and pulled Xiao Bao into the house. He patiently changed his wet clothes and led him to the stone b.

    ¡°Watch from the side. I¡¯ll do it.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently.

    Jun Shiling tidied up the mess Xiao Bao had created. He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and washed all the vegetables neatly.

    Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling in admiration, his eyes wide open. He stepped on the water and pounced on Jun Shiling, hugging his arm. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re so amazing. I love you so much.¡±

    The unexpected confession made Jun Shiling pause in his actions. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but the camera still captured it. Thements were excited again.

    ......

    [I enjoy my son¡¯s confession, but I can¡¯t let him see my smile. Ah, I¡¯m dead.]

    [Jun Shiling¡¯s figure¡­ is amazing¡­ When his shirt was stuck to his body just now, I saw his abs. Mom, they¡¯re so big. I feel that CEO Jun is very strong in bed.]

    [Can¡¯t the chicken coop lock you up anymore? Are you starting to be coquettish again?]

    ¡°Stand aside.¡± Jun Shiling suppressed the smile on his lips and looked at Xiao Bao. There was water here, and Xiao Bao would dirty his clothes againter.

    Xiao Bao shook his head and clung to Jun Shiling. ¡°No, I want to be with Daddy.¡±

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips helplessly and could not suppress the smile in his eyes. ¡°Every day, you learn to be clingy from your mother.¡±

    ¡°Because Mommy and I like Daddy very much!¡± Xiao Bao smiled until his teeth were white and his dimples were deep. ¡°If I like Daddy, I have to stick to Daddy.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re a man.¡± After washing the vegetables, Jun Shiling stood up. Xiao Bao hugged his leg instead. Thus, Jun Shiling brought a leg essory into the kitchen.

    ¡°Mommy said that I¡¯m still a child.¡± Xiao Bao did not care. He liked his father so much and wanted to stick to him. ¡°Children are not men.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the essory on his leg in disdain and allowed him to stick to him.

    Jun Shiling did not cook often, but his skills were not bad. He quickly cut some shredded meat and a cabbage and cracked a few eggs.

    ¡°Stand aside and wait. If not, you might get sshed.¡± Jun Shiling pushed Xiao Bao to the side. Xiao Bao stood near the door and looked over.

    ¡°Put it on your head.¡± Jun Shiling handed the suit jacket to Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao took it and obediently wrapped Jun Shiling¡¯s suit around him. He was coveredpletely and stood at the door like a guard.

    ¡°I¡¯m done. Daddy, quickly cook.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s childish voice came from his clothes.

    Only then did Jun Shiling pour the oil into the pot and start cooking.

    Even though he was holding a spat, no one could ignore his noble aura.

    [This is the first time I feel that¡­ someone can cook so well.]

    [Actually, CEO Jun is still very concerned about the little cutie. He even carefully covered the little cutie with his coat. He¡¯s probably afraid that the oil and smoke will ssh on the little kid. Sigh, most men can¡¯t be so meticulous.]

    [Little friend, you¡¯re so cute. Your voice is so cute. You¡¯re clearly afraid of smoke, but you still insist on sticking to Daddy and apanying him. You¡¯re really a little angel. No wonder CEO Jun dotes on his son so much.]

    When Jun Shiling was cooking, there was rice steaming in another pot. When the food was cooked, the rice was already steamed.

    ¡°Alright, go and call your mother down for dinner.¡± Afterdling thest dish onto a te, Jun Shiling reached out and removed Xiao Bao¡¯s clothes.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao tiptoed and looked at the food on the stove. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and ran upstairs. ¡°Mommy! It¡¯s time to eat!¡±

    By the time Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao went downstairs, Jun Shiling had already brought the food to a small pavilion in the courtyard.

    The sunlight shone through the dancing leaves and onto the food on the table. The rising heat carried a seductive fragrance.

    Xiao Bao swallowed his saliva and quickly sat up.

    ¡°Eat.¡± Jun Shiling scooped the rice and handed it to Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao quickly picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of tomato eggs, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

    <i>Fragrant!?</i>

    He picked up another piece of green pepper shredded pork.

    <i>Delicious!?</i>

    Xiao Bao stuffed rice into his mouth as he mumbled, ¡°Daddy, your cooking is so delicious. I love you so much.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao.?<i>Who did he learn this sweet-talking habit from??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was already hungry. After tasting Jun Shiling¡¯s food, she gave him a thumbs up. ¡°CEO Jun, amazing!¡±

    In the end, the three of them finished the three dishes. Xiao Bao even licked the vegetable soup in the tomatoes and eggs.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch Xiao Bao¡¯s stomach. It was round like a ball. ¡°You ate too much. Go walk around the courtyard.¡±

    Xiao Bao held his stomach and smiled foolishly. ¡°Okay, Mommy.¡± Then, Xiao Bao slipped off the chair and went to y with his little rabbitpanion.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to help Jun Shiling clean up the dishes, but Jun Shiling held her wrist. ¡°If you want to help me, just apany me. It¡¯s all greasy. Don¡¯t touch it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°Then you¡¯re still touching it.¡±

    ¡°I can, but you can¡¯t,¡± Jun Shiling said as he rolled up his sleeves and kept the things in the kitchen. He washed them slowly, and Xia Wanyuan stood by the side, waiting for him.

    [I can, but you can¡¯t¡­ I actually hate washing the dishes, but no man has ever said this to me.]

    [Sigh, this program is going to make people autistic. Does such a man really exist?]

    After packing up, Jun Shiling carefully washed his hands with soap before pulling Xia Wanyuan.

    In the courtyard, Xiao Bao had already followed the rabbit for more than ten rounds. His face was covered in a thinyer of sweat.

    At this moment, the production team handed them their first mission.

    ¡°Please earn tomorrow¡¯s food expenses yourself. You can¡¯t use the chickens and ducks raised in the courtyard casually. You need to exchange them with money.¡±

    However, the moment they entered the town, the phones and money on the guests had already been taken away by the production team.

    This also meant that if they wanted to eat meat, they still had to earn money.

    Xiao Bao grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and looked at the words on it. ¡°Daddy, I want to eat chicken drumsticks.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s still food in the fridge today. We¡¯ll go tomorrow. Rest today.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±?<i>There will be chicken drumsticks tomorrow!?</i>Xiao Bao bounced around.

    At the same time, the other two guests were also having lunch.

    Lin Lei and Qin Jiao were a very traditional couple. They did not even meet back then and had been forcefully brought together by their parents. Over the years, they had experienced all sorts of ups and downs and had actually broken through the barrier of a golden marriage.

    Lin Lei was wearing reading sses and sitting in the courtyard reading the newspaper. Qin Jiao was busy cleaning the house and cooking. asionally, when she could not carry the bucket, she would call Lin Lei over to help.

    [ Emmmm, I feel like I¡¯ve seen the way my grandparents interact. Grandpa is the master at home, and the woman is in charge of the house chores. No matter how busy or tired he is, my grandfather won¡¯t think from Grandma¡¯s perspective. ]

    [ I don¡¯t understand what marriage is. They actually spent 50 years like this. ]

    Yang Wei would help Zhang Nian do some tasks.

    However, Zhang Nian was a very agile person. She did not like Yang Wei¡¯s slow and leisurely appearance. Yang Wei¡¯s temper was also fiery. In less than two sentences, the two of them were about to argue.

    Zhang Nian was a loud person, and Yang Wei¡¯s voice was not small either. Even from afar, they could hear the two of them arguing.

    [¡­ Why did the production team invite them? I don¡¯t understand.]

    [Wow, why do I feel that the two of them are about to fight because of their quarrel?]

    [ Tell me¡­ I see my parents in them. They argue like this too, and their voices are each louder than the other. ]

    Compared to these two guests, the audience was more willing to watch Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan interact. Hence, their family had the most viewers.

    The three of them ate a lot in the afternoon, so in the afternoon, Jun Shiling brought people to stroll around the town to digest their food.

    Xiao Bao found everything novel. He touched here and there and greeted the grass by the roadside.

    The photography team followed behind them and gradually walked slower and slower, only shining their backs from afar.

    Even they felt that their approach was an intrusion.

    Beijing, Glory World Corporation.

    The scene of Jun Shiling kissing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead was on the huge television screen.

    When the assistant brought the tea in, he was shocked by this scene. He nced at Xuan Sheng, who was staring straight at the television, andined in his heart.

    <i>I really don¡¯t know what the boss is thinking. He¡¯s clearly so sad to see these scenes, but he still wants to be tortured.?</i>

    ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s still a meeting to attend. Don¡¯t look at this.¡± The assistant carefully persuaded Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m looking for trouble?¡± Xuan Sheng smiled, his gaze still on the television screen. There was no anger in his exquisite eyes.

    ¡°Please forgive me for being nosy, Young Master. Miss Xia is already married.¡±<i>?Furthermore, CEO Jun doted on Miss Xia. Young Master, you don¡¯t have a chance anymore.</i>?In the end, the assistant could not bear to say the second half, even though he knew that Xuan Sheng understood.

    ¡°I just want to see her.¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly waved his hand and did not want to continue talking to his assistant.

    The assistant put down the tea and left the office hesitantly.

    On the television, seeing that Jun Shiling did not even let Xia Wanyuan touch the water, Xuan Sheng smiled and drank a mouthful of tea.

    He had long lost all hope.

    He paid so much attention to Xia Wanyuan because he wanted to see her more.

    Furthermore, the better Jun Shiling treated Xia Wanyuan, the happier he was.

    After all, he could not have someone as beautiful as Xia Wanyuan because he was not worthy. He hoped that the person who had Xia Wanyuan would cherish her in his heart.

    From the looks of it, Jun Shiling had done it.

    Other than being happy, he was only envious.<i>?If I had a normal family back then¡­</i>

    Xuan Sheng sighed and stopped the thoughts in his mind. He did not allow himself to have any assumptions. Just thinking about this assumption made his heart ache.

    Hidden in the darkness, the Nightless City was very quiet. Even the guards¡¯ movements were very light when they changed shifts.

    After all, everyone knew that that person hated all the noise.

    Unlike the cold silence outside, there was a television sound in the room where Yu Qian lived.

    On the screen, Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling, her eyes filled with a bright light.

    Yu Qian looked at it for a while and reached out to take the expensive night pearl not far away.

    Under the light, the luminescent night pearl flowed with light.

    Jayce saw Yu Qian¡¯s actions. ¡°Boss, the sea shark got someone to send this over. If you like it, we can get more.¡±

    Yu Qian stroked the night pearl in his hand and suddenly threw it into the trash can at the side. ¡°Ugly.¡±

    Jayce had always been unable to understand Yu Qian¡¯s thoughts and did not understand why he suddenly fell out with him. He could only retreat silently and pretend that he had not said anything.

    In the town, the three of them had a good sleep after a day of running around. They woke up just as the sun rose.

    ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m hungry again ~¡± After washing up, Xiao Bao leaned towards Jun Shiling and hugged his leg, acting coquettishly.

    Jun Shiling looked down at the little clingy girl. ¡°Go and apany your mother. I¡¯ll buy breakfast.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao let go of Jun Shiling¡¯s leg and waved at him as he instructed, ¡°Daddy, I want to drink milk ~ The strawberry-vored kind ~¡±

 Chapter 981 - Double Standard Baby

    <h4>Chapter 981: Double Standard Baby</h4>

    Xiao Bao went upstairs to apany Xia Wanyuan. The audience in thements were confused.

    [Where did CEO Jun get the money to buy breakfast? Haven¡¯t they not start earning money?]

    [That¡¯s right... Do you buy breakfast by brushing your face? The people in this town might not recognize this person as Jun Shiling.]

    However, not long after, Jun Shiling appeared at the door. He walked into the house with arge pile of breakfast.

    The camera followed. Jun Shiling took out steamed buns, in buns, custard buns, and milk one by one and ced them on the table. There was even a bowl of beef noodles that was emitting heat.

    ¡°There¡¯s custard buns! And milk!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the plentiful breakfast. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re amazing!¡±

    Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao to a chair and sat him down. ¡°Sit down and eat.¡± Then, he took the noodles upstairs.

    Support our

    Xia Wanyuan was afraid of the cold, and the winter in Beijing was cold, so she had developed a bad habit.

    That was on a winter morning. She could not get up. Even if she woke up, she would have to lie under the nket for a while.

    Although the town was as warm as spring, she could not change the habit she had raised for so long.

    Xia Wanyuan was nestled under the nket when she suddenly smelled a fragrance. She opened her eyes and saw a bowl of noodles drenched in chili oil beside her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up and she sat up. ¡°Aren¡¯t you poor? How can you buy noodles?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°I have a way.¡±

    ......

    At this moment, in the live-stream, the camera had returned to half an hour ago.

    The tall and handsome Jun Shiling attracted everyone¡¯s attention the moment he entered the morning market.

    There were many merchants selling buns in the market. Jun Shiling nced around and walked to a shop near the corner with fewer people.

    ¡°Hello, how many buns do you want?¡±

    ¡°Bring all the breakfast in your shop with me. I promise I¡¯ll sell them all,¡± Jun Shiling looked into the boss¡¯s eyes and said.

    The boss subconsciously wanted to say that what did a foreigner know? However, this man¡¯s words inexplicably convinced him.

    The boss pushed a cart and left with Jun Shiling. When the shop owner beside him saw this scene, he secretly gloated and felt that this person had been deceived by an outsider.

    After walking for less than ten minutes, Jun Shiling pointed at an intersection in front. ¡°Wait there. Your things will be sold in a while.¡±

    The boss was skeptical. As expected, after waiting for about three minutes, a fewrge trucks passed by with workers.

    Some of them had not eaten breakfast, while others wanted to buy some steamed buns for lunch. In just a few minutes, the breakfast shop owner¡¯s truck was sold out.

    In order to express his gratitude, the boss of the breakfast shop gave Jun Shiling a lot of breakfast.

    [ If I remember correctly, when CEO Jun was taking a walk with Xia Wanyuan yesterday, a truck passed by. ]

    [ As expected of the richest man. Even the locals didn¡¯t notice this business opportunity. CEO Jun has only been here for half a day and the breakfast shop owner has already earned a week¡¯s worth of profits. Amazing. ]

    Everyone was not surprised by Jun Shiling¡¯s way of earning money for a long time, because they were fed with dog food.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed while Jun Shiling patiently fed her noodles.

    ¡°Is it delicious?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°You eat too. We¡¯ll share half.¡±

    Jun Shiling had just ced a piece of food in his mouth when a small head suddenly appeared on the stairs.

    ¡°Daddy! You don¡¯t let me eat in bed, but you eat noodles in bed! You have double standards!¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly.<i> Little brat, you even know the word double standard. </i>

    Xiao Bao was wearing a pair of cool shoes that could sh. He ran towards Xia Wanyuan with a custard bun in his hand.

    ¡°Mommy, this is for you. I specially left the middle part for you. It¡¯s especially sweet!¡± Xiao Bao left the essence of his favorite custard bun to Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling finished a mouthful of noodles and fed Xia Wanyuan a mouthful of beef.

    ¡°I¡¯m a little thirsty.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to go down and get a cup, but Xiao Bao had already run over and handed her the water.

    ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± Xiao-double standard-Bao hadpletely forgotten how he had treated Jun Shiling just now.

    Xia Wanyuan held her forehead in amusement.

    <i>Why do I feel that as a mother, I did not set an example at all and still needed Xiao Bao to take care of me? </i>

 Chapter 982 - The Princess Shocking the Entire Place, CEO Jun Robbed the Bank

    <h4>Chapter 982: The Princess Shocking the Entire ce, CEO Jun Robbed the Bank</h4>

    At this moment, the live-stream was already filled with a sea of lemons.

    [ I¡¯m really jealous. Xia Wanyuan is really blessed. Her husband dotes on her so much, and her son likes her so much. ]

    [I can¡¯t stand it anymore. If I continue to watch, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to find a boyfriend in my life.]

    [ Did Xia Wanyuan save the gxy in her previous life? She actually has such a good husband and such a cute son. ]

    In the small courtyard, Xia Wanyuan woke up after breakfast and prepared to earn lunch money for Xiao Bao with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had finished packing, held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and followed Jun Shiling.

    ¡°When I bought breakfast in the morning, I asked the owner for a local map. There¡¯s a mountain over there with mushrooms. Go and pick some up. Earn some starting funds first. The rest will be easy.¡± To Jun Shiling, there were endless opportunities to earn money wherever he went.

    ¡°You¡¯re amazing.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up as she praised Jun Shiling.

    Xiao Bao also praised Jun Shiling with Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the most amazing person in my heart. I love you the most.¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up, and his gentle gazended on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Jun Yin inherited his sweet tongue from you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly. She leaned over and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The green mountains were long and the fog had not dissipated. There was a lot of dew on the grass.

    ......

    After all, Xiao Bao was still young. It was very difficult for him to walk step by step. Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up and brought him forward.

    Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and his big eyes curved up. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re so good to me.¡±

    It had to be said that in an unfamiliar environment, Xiao Bao was quite dependent on Jun Shiling. Hey steadily on his shoulder and sang children¡¯s songs. Jun Shiling, who had always hated noise, did not stop Xiao Bao¡¯s singing.

    About half an hourter, the three of them walked down the mountain.

    ¡°Daddy, where is the fungus?¡±

    ¡°Over there.¡± Jun Shiling observed the terrain and the growth of the nts and pointed in a direction.

    With Xiao Bao in his left hand and Xia Wanyuan in his right, the three of them walked in the direction Jun Shiling had pointed. As expected, they found a white umbre-shaped fungus under a pile of weeds.

    Xiao Bao struggled to jump out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and carefully plucked a mushroom with dew. ¡°Daddy, why do you know that there¡¯s delicious food here?¡±

    Jun Shiling squatted down to dig with him and taught him how to find mushrooms. ¡°Do you see those white ants on the ground? Their nests usually have mushrooms.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not let Xia Wanyuan make a move, so she could only stand by their side. As Jun Shiling taught Xiao Bao these knowledge that he could not learn in books, he dug up the fungus and ced it in the cotton cloth he carried with him.

    [Why are there so many¡­ Isn¡¯t this fungus very difficult to find?? Why is Jun Shiling so urate?]

    [The person in front¡­ Didn¡¯t you hear what CEO Jun said? There¡¯s a scientific reason why he looked for this. Reality has proven that big shots are big shots. Not only are they good at business, but they¡¯re also good at everything.]

    [I really want to eat this fungus. I feel that soup cooked will be so beautiful. My saliva is already flowing.]

    In less than an hour, the bag in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand was already full. The three of them returned the way they came.

    Fresh mushrooms were very easy to sell on the market. In addition, Xiao Bao, who was in charge of shouting,unched a cute attack. The shop owners, Jun Shiling, and Xia Wanyuan were too eye-catching. Very quickly, all the mushrooms were sold for 320 yuan.

    ¡°CEO Jun, can you give me a hundred dors?¡± After selling the things, the three of them were about to go home when they saw the ce where colored thread was sold. Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks again.

    Jun Shiling ced all the money in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands. ¡°Madam you¡¯re the in charge of the family, take it all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°Give me a hundred and I¡¯ll return a thousand.¡±

    Jun Shiling and his family were picking up things in the market. On the other side of the camera, the other two groups of guests were also worried about their living expenses.

    Everyone thought that ording to Lin Lei and Qin Jiao¡¯s interactions, Lin Lei wouldpletely let go and the two elders would not be able to earn money. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise,

    The two elderly were people who had reallye from the famine era.

    Lin Lei did not care about housework at all. He still had the feudal thoughts of a male lead outside and female lead inside in thest century. Hence, the old man did not let Qin Jiao interfere in earning money at all. Qin Jiao was not idle either. While Lin Lei was selling bamboo baskets, she took a small hoe and dug out a lot of wild vegetables outside.

    Yang Wei and Zhang Nian had grown up in the city and were not very familiar with the countryside. Seeing that it was almost noon and the fridge was empty, Zhang Nian began to nag again, ¡°What¡¯s the use of you? You can¡¯t even earn money for food. I really have a hard life following you. If I had known earlier¡­¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you annoying? Why don¡¯t you earn it if you have use for it? You only know how to nag all day long.¡± Yang Wei was annoyed when he heard Zhang Nian nagging. He kicked the chair in front of him and left their courtyard.

    The production team staff looked at each other.<i>?It was only the second day, and this couple was already arguing like this. What should we do for the next recording?</i>

    [¡­ It¡¯s too real. It¡¯s like a replica of my parents.]

    [Zhang Nian¡¯s EQ is a little low. Can¡¯t she just say a few soft words? Must she be so loud? No one can stand being shouted at like this.]

    [Is Yang Wei fine? He kicks the table and stool for no reason. If not for the cameras, I would have suspected that he would abuse Zhang Nian. How scary. Could the bruise on Zhang Nian¡¯s arm be from Yang Wei?]

    The sun had already risen into the sky and the noon temperature was very high. Xiao Bao took off his sweater and chased after the rabbit in his shining shoes in the courtyard.

    The camera swept over and the audience realized that the fattest rooster in the circle had disappeared.

    Steam rose from the kitchen. As usual, Jun Shiling was in charge of the spoon. He lifted the lid of the pot and saw a big rooster with a fragrant stew inside. He stirred it with a spat a few times, put some fungus in, and rinsed it again for a while.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, Xiao Bao ran in enthusiastically.

    ¡°It smells so good.¡± The fragrance of the chicken and the freshness of the fungus made Xiao Bao drool.

    Jun Shiling nced at the silly Xiao Bao and wiped his saliva in disdain. ¡°Go get the chopsticks.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Daddy!¡± Xiao Bao swallowed hard and ran.

    The meat of the chicken raised in the countryside was firm, and the wild mushrooms picked on the mountain were abnormally delicious. Xiao Bao¡¯s stomach was even rounder than yesterday. If not for Jun Shiling stopping him, Xiao Bao would have eaten three more bowls of rice.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling went out with a hundred yuan. Xiao Bao touched his stomach andy on the chair to digest his food, while Xia Wanyuan brought out the embroidery thread she had bought in the market in the morning.

    Seeing the clusters of colorful threads and needles of different sizes in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, everyone was a little stunned.<i>?What is she preparing to do?</i>

    Then, everyone saw Xia Wanyuan thread different colors into different needles and take out a piece of white cloth.

    [?? Is this embroidery?]

    [Isn¡¯t she a designer? It should be normal for her to know how to embroider something. I¡¯m quite curious about what she¡¯s going to embroider.]

    [My intuition tells me that we can¡¯t underestimate Xia Wanyuan. Every time I feel that she¡¯s just like that, she will always p my face hard.]

    Just as everyone was discussing, Xia Wanyuan began to move.

    In the understanding of ordinary people, embroidery usually involved drawing the appearance first, then setting the spot, and finally applying the needle ording to different colors.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was different. She ttened the white cloth and secured it with tongs. In her hand were ten needles connected to different embroidery threads. With a slight movement of her fingers, the ten needles were inserted into the white cloth.

    Everyone could not understand the rest of the steps. They only saw the colorful lines under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands flying, as if there were a thousand things that dazzling.

    Other than professionals, modern women rarely practiced needlework. However, to ancient women, needlework was a necessary skill. From the nobles to themoners, they were all proficient in this skill.

    As the beloved daughter of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan had cultivated poetry, books, etiquette, and red embroidery since she was young. The teachers who taught her were the most outstanding embroiderers in the entire dynasty. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embroidery skills had been deeply inherited from the masters.

    The weather was hot. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a light-colored dress, her long hair tied behind her head. She sat gracefully, her jade-like hands fluttering, inexplicably making one feel that time had quietened down. It was as if the boundary between history and modernity had blurred, making one involuntarily follow Xia Wanyuan into her world.

    Xiao Bao was very sensible. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was busy. After digesting the food, he obediently took out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calligraphy.

    The camera switched to Xiao Bao¡¯s pen. The words were written with iron strokes and silver hooks. Xiao Bao followed suit. Although he could not write as well as Xia Wanyuan, it was much better than most ordinary people.

    [¡­ My dog-crawling words can¡¯t evenpare to a three-year-old child¡­]

    [His mother is a master painter, Yuan Wanxia. Isn¡¯t it normal to be inferior? Sigh, the difference between people.]

    [ Am I the only one whose focus is on how sensible he is? When Xia Wanyuan is busy, he doesn¡¯t disturb her and obediently practices his calligraphy. My child won¡¯t be so self-aware even when he¡¯s 15 years old. ]

    The courtyard fell silent for a moment. Only the breeze blew through the grapevines with the sunlight, rustling.

    On Lin Lei and Qin Jiao¡¯s side, they had already eaten. Lin Lei¡¯s bamboo basket and broom were very popr and were sold for 60 yuan. Lin Lei brought all the money home. The moment he entered the courtyard, he began to shout, ¡°Old woman, quickly bring me a ss of water.¡±

    For the entire morning, in order to save money, Lin Lei did not dare to drink any water.

    Qin Jiao brought water over and fetched a basin of water to wash Lin Lei¡¯s feet. Even though she was tired from digging wild vegetables for a long time, she still served Lin Lei first before taking all the money to buy vegetables.

    Qin Jiao was frugal. As she muttered, ¡°Our husband likes to eat tofu, I¡¯ll buy a piece.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll buy some fish. The old man likes to eat it.¡± She carefully haggled with the bosses.

    In the end, Qin Jiao bought a pile of vegetables and spent less than 20 yuan, saving 40 yuan.

    In the courtyard where Yang Wei and Zhang Nian lived, as they approached the restaurant, Yang Wei finally appeared at the door. He wiped the sweat off his face and walked into the kitchen with a pile of food. He threw it all in front of Zhang Nian. ¡°Here, make it quickly.¡±

    Zhang Nian pulled at it. There was meat and vegetables, and it was quite sumptuous. ¡°Where did you get it?¡±

    ¡°Why do you care so much? How annoying. Hurry up and cook. I¡¯m hungry.¡± Yang Wei walked out of the kitchen impatiently and washed his face by the sink. The water flowed to his arm, causing Yang Wei to frown.

    He lifted his sleeve to take a look. There were some bruises and scratches on his arm. Yang Wei cleaned it with water and lowered his sleeve, pretending that nothing had happened.

    Jun Shiling only appeared in the camera again at six in the afternoon. On the other end of the stone road, Jun Shiling was holding a suit jacket in one hand and a cloth bag in the other. He came under the setting sun and was as handsome as a god.

    The audience watched helplessly. The closer they got to the small courtyard, the gentler Jun Shiling¡¯s aura became. When they pushed open the courtyard door and saw Xia Wanyuan sitting under the grapevine, their eyes were already filled with gentleness.

    [ What is the highest realm of public disy of love¡­ Without saying a word, I¡¯ve already been tortured to death. ]

    [So gentle¡­ This gaze¡­ is amazing.]

    Xia Wanyuan was finally done. She cut thest thread and put down the needle in her hand. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling opened his arms to her. Xia Wanyuan stood up and pounced into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling spread out the coat in his arms and blocked his and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s faces.

    Thements were filled with question marks. At that moment, Xiao Bao, who was beside her, had already tactfully covered his face with his small hand. A pair of big eyes appeared between his fingers and he looked shyly at his parents not far away.

    Being blocked by the clothes, no one could see the scene inside. They could only hear Jun Shiling whisper, ¡°I miss you.¡±

    Five minutester, Jun Shiling finally put down his coat. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were shy and her red lips were slightly swollen. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had just happened.

    [It¡¯s just not seeing each other for an afternoon¡­ This dog food is too much. My boyfriend won¡¯t be so excited if I don¡¯t see him for a month. I¡¯m considering breaking up. Goodbye.]

    [CEO Jun, let¡¯s restrain ourselves a little. Can you let us see how Yuan Yuan embroidered things first before torturing us?]

    In the small courtyard, Xia Wanyuan saw the camera beside her and her face turned a little red. She nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and did note out. ¡°What are you carrying?¡±

    ¡°The money we earned,¡± Jun Shiling said as he handed the cloth bag in his hand to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°We don¡¯t have to go out and earn money for the next few days.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened the bag and saw that it was filled with yuan, the kind that was a hundred and more.

    Thements were filled with<i>???? CEO Jun, did you rob a bank??</i>

    Before anyone could react, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan to the side. ¡°What are you embroidering?¡±

    ¡°This.¡± Xia Wanyuan casually picked up a handkerchief and handed it to Jun Shiling.

    Kun Shiling looked at the front and then the back. ¡°It¡¯s very beautiful.¡±

    At this moment, the million viewers in the live-stream were stunned.?<i>Are our eyes ying tricks on us?</i>

 Chapter 983 - Full of Dog Food

    <h4>Chapter 983: Full of Dog Food</h4>

    The production team was clearly shocked as well. They gestured for the photographer to take another photo of the embroidery in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s approval, the photographer carefully showed the handkerchief to the audience.

    The handkerchief was very in, and there was a colorful butterfly at the bottom right. It was lifelike, as if it was about to leave the handkerchief and fly into the flowers in the next second.

    If that was all, everyone would at most praise the exquisite embroidery.

    The most shocking thing was that on the other side of the handkerchief, in the same position as the butterfly, there was a light-colored orchid embroidered. It was as if it was breathing out a fragrance. Through the camera, everyone felt that the entire handkerchief was tainted with a fragrance.

    [F*ck!! What magical embroidery method is this? Why are the patterns on both sidespletely different? Why can¡¯t I see any traces?]

    [ There are embroidery on both sides, but the patterns, needle techniques, and colors on both sides are different¡ªa different script, a different needle, and a different color. That¡¯s why it¡¯s called ¡°double-sided three-colored embroidery¡±. I found it online. Xia Wanyuan seems to have embroidered this. Amazing. I heard that this kind can only be embroidered by a top master. ]

    [ I know this. This is especially difficult and it takes a long time to embroider. My mother knows this too. Arge double-sided three-sided embroidery requires nearly a year. A small one like Xia Wanyuan will probably take half a day. This is based on the fact that my mother is an old embroiderer for more than 20 years. ]

    After everyone¡¯s exnation, the audience had a preliminary understanding of this magical embroidery method. They also knew that this was a difficult and time-consuming embroidery.

    However, in the next second, the camera switched to the bamboo basket beside Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took out the handkerchiefs one by one. On each of them was a different style of double-sided three-sided embroidery.

    The audience was stunned.?<i>Didn¡¯t they say that it was very difficult to embroider? Is Xia Wanyuan serious about taking out the handkerchiefs one by one??</i>

    ¡°Look, is it amazing?¡± Xia Wanyuan stuffed the results of the afternoon into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She was not someone who liked to take credit, but in front of Jun Shiling, she was bing more and more like a child.

    Jun Shiling looked at the handkerchief in his arms and nodded. Then, he ced the handkerchief back in the bamboo basket and leaned over to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and walked into the house.

    The audience in the live-stream were shocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden action.

    [CEO Jun, let¡¯s restrain ourselves. It¡¯s not even night yet?]

    [Is the next scene going to be inappropriate for children? I¡¯m a little shy. Ahhh, photographer, charge!! We want to see it too.]

    The photographer hesitated again and again, but in the end, he followed Jun Shiling and the rest upstairs. After all, they felt that Jun Shiling was not such a reckless person.

    As expected, there were no inappropriate scenes in the scene. Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the sofa. ¡°Wait for me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan said yes, but her hands did not let go. She had not seen Jun Shiling for a long time and she was very clingy.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her face. Only then did Xia Wanyuan smile and let go of Jun Shiling.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling came up with a pot of hot water in his left hand and a full bag in his right.

    Jun Shiling handed the bag to Xia Wanyuan. She opened it and saw that it was filled with all sorts of snacks and arge fruit tter.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her. ¡°CEO Jun?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously nced at the camera and blushed a little, but she still followed Jun Shiling¡¯s wishes. ¡°Thank you, Hubby.¡±

    Jun Shiling was satisfied and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead with a smile in his eyes.

    In the live-stream, the screams were about to rush out of the screen.

    [This is not the Xia Wanyuan I know. Ahhhhh, the shy Yuan Yuan!! She¡¯s too cute!]

    [CEO Jun is so passionate, hahahaha. He¡¯ll only be satisfied if Xia Wanyuan calls him husband. I can¡¯t stand it.]

    Jun Shiling poured the hot water into the basin and mixed in some cold water. He tested the temperature of the water before taking off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoes and socks and letting her put her feet in the basin.

    Xia Wanyuan ate her snacks while Jun Shiling stood behind her and massaged her shoulders. Xia Wanyuan would feed Jun Shiling whatever delicious food she ate. Jun Shiling was not a person who liked to eat snacks, but every time Xia Wanyuan fed him, he would bite down peacefully.

    There were footsteps at the stairs. Xiao Bao¡¯s head popped out. ¡°Mommy, it¡¯s dark. I¡¯m a little afraid.¡±

    ¡°Come here.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Xiao Bao, who happily pounced into her arms.

    Xiao Bao nced at Jun Shiling, then sat back down and massaged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs with his small fists. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m very good to you too ~¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and patted his little head. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xiao Bao, who had sessfully fought for favor, made a face at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling looked at his biological son faintly. ¡°Make dinner for your mother too.¡±

    The smile on Xiao Bao¡¯s face froze, but his mind was racing. ¡°But, Daddy, what I make isn¡¯t as delicious as what you make. What you make is the best. I love Daddy¡¯s food the most.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him.<i>?Little brat, you sure know how to find excuses.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fatigue from sitting for the entire afternoon ended with Jun Shiling¡¯s massage. She pressed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, sit here. I¡¯ll massage you too.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned. ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired enough? I¡¯m going to cook.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled him back with a firm expression. Jun Shiling could only sit down.

    Xia Wanyuan helped him wash his feet. Jun Shiling wanted to take off his shoes and socks himself, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan squatting on the ground to help him take off his socks, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened, and his silent love enveloped Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Is it hot?¡± Xia Wanyuan tested the temperature of the water and looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not hot.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan stand up and walk to Jun Shiling¡¯s back to massage his shoulders. Xia Wanyuan looked thin, but her hands were very strong. Jun Shiling¡¯s fatigue had been resolved.

    ¡°How did you earn so much money?¡± Knowing that Jun Shiling did not like snacks, Xia Wanyuan chatted with him to kill time.

    Only then did Jun Shiling tell Xia Wanyuan what he had done in the afternoon.

    There were many people doing business in the market in this town. Jun Shiling visited and understood the business routine here.

    He first helped a few merchants propose a few ways to earn money immediately. After obtaining the first sum of money, he bought and sold goods wantonly.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s ability to win people over was extremely strong. The few shops he visited had be his connections, and the entire market had be his territory to earn money.

    With sufficient manpower and resources, the money rolled like a snowball.

    After hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation, the audience was shocked. Although Jun Shiling made it sound very simple, if it was really that simple, he would not be the richest man.

    Xia Wanyuan gave Jun Shiling a thumbs up. ¡°Awesome.¡±

    Jun Shiling was very pleased with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was massaging Jun Shiling¡¯s back, Xiao Bao stood in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and massaged his shoulders with his little fists. ¡°Daddy, am I good at hammering?¡±

    Jun Shiling protected Xiao Bao with his hand to prevent him from falling. ¡°Why? Do you still want to fight for favor with your mother?¡±

    Xiao Bao pouted. ¡°Of course not. Mommy is the best, but I¡¯m so obedient. Daddy, why didn¡¯t you praise me?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao in disdain.<i>?The little man only knew how to ask for praise and hugs every day.?</i>However, although he looked disdainful, he still reached out and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face twice. ¡°Very filial.¡±

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xiao Bao was happy. He opened his small hands and hugged Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, I like you second!¡±

    A smile surged in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he hugged the fragrant Xiao Bao. ¡°Each one is more clingy than the other.¡±

    The light in the house was warm and yellow, shining a gentle light on the three of them. Xiao Bao sang incoherently. Although Jun Shiling despised him, he did not stop him. Xia Wanyuan stood and massaged Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulders.

    Such a peaceful scene made the million audience quiet down.

    [It¡¯s clearly such a happy scene, but why am I crying? I¡¯m so touched. I¡¯m probably old. Seeing such a beautiful scene, I feel that this world is still very beautiful.]

    [ What I¡¯m most touched about is that Jun Shiling dotes on Xia Wanyuan very much, and Xia Wanyuan has never taken this for granted. CEO Jun washed her feet and massaged her, and she will understand that CEO Jun has also worked hard outside for the entire day. Both parties giving in is really the most beautiful thing in the world. ]

    [ To be honest, I¡¯m crying from watching. When can I have such feelings? We love and care for each other and understand each other. You treat me well, and I treat you well. Boohoo, I believe in love again!! ]

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been pressing for a long time. Jun Shiling stood up and ced Xiao Bao on the sofa. ¡°I¡¯ll cook.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    ¡°I want to apany Daddy too!¡± Although Xiao Bao was embarrassed to admit it, he really liked his father¡¯s broad embrace! Xiao Bao anxiously reached out to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up helplessly. ¡°You two clingy people.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was filled with disdain, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden from the audience.

    [Hehe, CEO Jun, before you despise them for being clingy next time, hide the smile in your eyes first.]

    [ The little darling is too cute!! I can tell! You¡¯re just greedy for your daddy¡¯s embrace! Speaking of which, CEO Jun¡¯s embrace must be warm and hard. I want to know how it feels to be hugged by CEO Jun. ]

    [ The person in front, dream less. You might as well pray that you win the first prize in the lottery. ]

    Jun Shiling brought the two little tails to the kitchen. As usual, Jun Shiling did not let the two of them do it. Hence, there were two door gods.

    The moon was high in the sky, and the fragrance of food finally floated out of the small courtyard.

    While the audience was already used to the guests not being able to earn money and could only eat vegetables and porridge, Jun Shiling and his family lived a richndlord life.

    There were chickens, ducks, fish, and even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite prawns and crabs on the table.

    After the meal, Xiao Bao shouted that he wanted to take a shower. He had run in the courtyard for the entire day and was already sweating.

    Jun Shiling boiled the water and threw Xiao Bao into the bathtub.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s entire body was red and tender from the hot water. He blinked his big eyes at Jun Shiling.

    ]Jun Shiling squeezed some shampoo on his head. ¡°Close your eyes.¡±

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao obediently closed his eyes. His eyshes were long and curled up as he blinked. ¡°Daddy, this is the first time you washed my hair.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused. This was indeed the first time he had washed this child¡¯s hair.

    Strictly speaking, he was not apetent father. If not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, this child would have grown up alone.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression softened. ¡°Daddy will wash for you often in the future.¡±

    The dimples on Xiao Bao¡¯s face appeared the same way as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re so good. Xiao Bao especially likes you.¡±

    Feeling his son¡¯splete dependence on him, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart warmed. ¡°Daddy likes you very much too.¡±

    ¡°Really?!¡± Xiao Bao opened his eyes happily. They were filled with starlight. He jumped out of the bathtub and into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. The shampoo and foam on his head rubbed against Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes.

    Feeling the slippery touch in his arms, Jun Shiling patted Xiao Bao¡¯s butt with a cold expression. ¡°You¡¯re naked.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Only then did Xiao Bao remember that he was recording a show. He jumped out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and into the water, causing the water to ssh on Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    ¡°Daddy, quickly block me!¡± Xiao Bao was so shy that his body was red. Jun Shiling, who was standing at the side, tightened his grip on the towel in his hand and reminded himself in his heart that this son was his biological son. If he was beaten up and broken, there would be no more.

    After a long time, Xiao Bao was washed clean and sent to the bedroom on the second floor. Jun Shiling quickly took a shower.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s biological clock was on time. He fell asleep on the pillow.

    In the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan, who had long taken a shower, was sitting in the courtyard wearing a coat and looking at the stars.

    Jun Shiling walked out and sat beside Xia Wanyuan, whoy in his arms.

    When ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡± started filming, there was a rule that would take away all the guests¡¯munication tools. It was to prevent the guests from ying with their phones and ignoring their interactions with their families.

    However, this was unnecessary for Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. The two of them had never liked to kill time with their phones.

    The people in the live-stream followed Xia Wanyuan and listened to Jun Shiling tell stories. As they spoke, Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, and so did the people in the live-stream.

    The night was already as dark as ink, but there were still countless people tearing at the bright lights in Beijing.

    Beijing Hospital.

    The phone had already rung countless times, but Wei Jin finally pressed the answer button. No matter what, the matter had to be resolved.

    ¡°Father.¡±

    ¡°Ah Jin, where are you?¡± Unexpectedly, Wei Zhong¡¯s attitude was very kind, as if he did not know what had happened to the Jiang family.

    ¡°Father, a friend of mine is sick. I¡¯m in the hospital.¡± Wei Jin did not dare to fight him head-on.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Wei Zhong replied. ¡°You did well. Young Master Jiang came yesterday to send many gifts and said that he was very satisfied with you. We discussed and have already decided on the wedding date. Young Master Jiang really wants to marry you as soon as possible, on the first day of next month.¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Father.¡±

    Wei Zhong ignored Wei Jin¡¯s voice and instructed, ¡°Prepare yourself in the next two days and resign from Qing University. I¡¯ll pick you up in two days. We¡¯ll return to Nanjiang to prepare for your marriage. That¡¯s all.¡±

    With that, Wei Zhong hung up.

    Wei Jin was flustered.?<i>What was Jiang Kui nning? Why did he suddenly set a wedding date??</i>

    She returned to the ward uneasily.

    In the ward, Mu Feng was sitting on the bed eating fruits. After a few days of careful recuperation, Mu Feng¡¯s health had improved a lot. Seeing Wei Jin enter, Mu Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Ah Jin,e quickly. This strawberry is so sweet.¡±

    Wei Jin forced a smile and sat beside Mu Feng. ¡°I¡¯m not eating.¡±

    Mu Feng realized that something was wrong with her expression and put down the fruit te. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°My father just called and said that my wedding date with Jiang Kui has been decided. He asked me to go home with him in two days.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s eyes turned red.

    She wanted to tell Wei Zhong clearly that she would not marry, but her mother was still in the Wei family¡¯s old residence in Nanjiang City. She was worried that Wei Zhong would harm her mother. After all, this person was ruthless and ruthless.

    Mu Feng was stunned for a moment before holding Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°Help me wear my clothes.¡±

    Wei Jin looked up with confusion in her eyes. ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°To register our marriage,¡± Mu Feng said as he lifted the nket. ¡°Get our marriage certificate first. We¡¯ll talk about the futureter.¡±

    After registering their marriage, Wei Jin would be the mistress of the Mu family. Even if Jiang Kui wanted to do anything, he had to estimate the weight of the Mu family first.

    Back then, Wei Jin hade to work at Qing University with all her documents. Now, all her documents were in the dormitory.

    Wei Jin was worried about Mu Feng¡¯s body and was still hesitating, but Mu Feng pulled out the syringe, put on his clothes, and pulled Wei Jin¡¯s hand out of the ward.

    He drove all the way to Qing University and ignored the red lights to retrieve Wei Jin¡¯s identification card. Then, he brought her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register.

    Half an hourter, the two of them had a red notebook in their hands.

    Wei Jin still felt that it was a little unreal. The corners of Mu Feng¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Now that you¡¯re mine, they can¡¯t snatch you away even if they want to.¡±

    After struggling for a long time, his body could not take it anymore. Mu Feng held his forehead and Wei Jin hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the hospital first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    On the other side of Beijing, after hanging up Wei Jin¡¯s call, Wei Zhong was leisurely singing a song.

    In his opinion, Wei Jin was already in his hands. The biggest variable, Xia Wanyuan, was now thousands of miles away in the south. Even if she wanted to interfere, she could not.

    When he brought Wei Jin back to Nanjiang City, that was their territory. Wei Jin had to marry Jiang Kui without any doubts.

    Thinking of the generous reward Jiang Kui had promised him, Wei Zhong stroked his beard and grinned with his yellow teeth.

    Initially, he felt that having a daughter was really useless. He did not expect this daughter to be quite valuable and could be sold for a good price.

    While Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were not around, the Wei family was not the only one who was restless.

    To ordinary people, this was only a short five days, but to the big ns,

    In these five days, there was no time for Jun Shiling to guard Beijing.

    In just five days, it could be ordinary, but it could also be earth-shattering.

    Hence, when Jun Shiling was not around, Lin Jing, who was in charge of the Jun Corporation, received all sorts of bribes in just two days.

    He was an orphan, had no parents, no wife, and no children. The only centers of his life were Jun Shiling and the Jun Corporation. If others wanted to bribe him, they could only do it with money.

    However, as the special assistant of the Jun Corporation, his annual sry was tens of millions. If others wanted to bribe him, they would have to pay an unimaginable price.

    In his free time, Lin Jing even made a statistics table.

    In order to bribe him, the prices that others offered ranged from a few hundred million to tens of billions. There was even a possibility that this price would continue to soar.

    Unfortunately, Lin Jing did not move and continued to help Jun Shiling manage the daily affairs of the Jun Corporation.

    ]Someone asked Lin Jing angrily, ¡°You don¡¯t even want tens of billions of yuan. How much did Jun Shiling give you to make you work so hard for him?¡±

    The corners of Lin Jing¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Out of habit, he adjusted his sses. ¡°CEO Jun gave me this life.¡±

    Other than that, Lin Jing did not say anything else.

    The capital was turbulent, but under his protection, the Jun Corporation was calm.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the town, the rooster crowed and opened the peaceful peach garden.

    On the big bed in the bedroom on the second floor, Xiao Baoy obediently in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    Hearing the sound outside, Jun Shiling lifted the nket and stood up. Xia Wanyuan also opened her eyes.

    ¡°Sleep a while more.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan and put on his clothes. Then, he pulled Xiao Bao out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms.

    Xiao Bao was wearing pajamas and pping his legs in the air. ¡°I want to sleep with Mommy for a while more!¡±

    However, Jun Shiling pulled him aside. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Xiao Bao shut his mouth aggrievedly and let Jun Shiling help him put on his clothes.

    As he fumed, Xiao Bao waited for Jun Shiling to patiently put on his clothes before jumping into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms happily. ¡°Daddy, what are we eating in the morning?¡±

    He hadpletely forgotten the anger of being pulled out of the nket by Jun Shiling.

    ¡°You only know how to eat.¡± Jun Shiling nced angrily at Xiao Bao, who was sticking to him. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°I want to eat buns,¡± Xiao Bao said as he drooled. ¡°The kind with a lot of meat and soup.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him.?<i>This little brat really knew how to eat. He has quite a lot of requirements.?</i>

    Xiao Bao smiled and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, letting him carry him downstairs.

    Looking at therge pile of flour, Xiao Bao was puzzled. ¡°Daddy, what is this?¡±

    ¡°Flour, to make buns. Don¡¯t you want to eat it?¡± Jun Shiling did not know how to make this, but he had asked the production team for a recipe that he had found online. They just had to follow it.

    [CEO Jun, you¡¯re so stubborn and soft-hearted. You say that you despise your son, but isn¡¯t it because your son wants to eat it?]

    [With such a powerful attack ability, can the big shot leave us a way out? This makes us look like trash!]

    Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes.<i>?Daddy treats me so well. He even makes buns for me if I want to eat them.?</i>

    ¡°Daddy! I want to eat chocte! Do you know how to make it? I also want to eat ice cream! Aiya! I still want to eat¡­¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s simple words shattered Xiao Bao¡¯s fantasy.

    ¡°Ok.¡± Xiao Bao pouted.?<i>Hmph ~</i>

 Chapter 984 - The Princess is Omnipotent; Capable Assistant Xiao Bao

    <h4>Chapter 984: The Princess is Omnipotent; Capable Assistant Xiao Bao</h4>

    Jun Shiling had never made anything with flour. Everyone could clearly feel that in the beginning, Jun Shiling did not even know how to make dough.

    However, not long after, Jun Shiling seemed to have been enlightened. His movements were smooth,parable to a professional chef.

    The sunlight shone through the eaves andnded on Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome side profile. He rolled up his sleeves and focused on pinching the bun in front of him. His eyes were deep and his aura was heavy. In an instant, it made one feel that he was making a perfect piece of art.

    [So handsome, so handsome, so handsome. I¡¯m already tired of saying it.]

    [I¡¯ve already kicked myzy husband out of bed. Sisters, do you think I did the right thing?]

    In the attic, Xia Wanyuan had already gotten out of bed and was ying with the cat at the bottom of the stairs. Xiao Bao ran over and pointed at the child passing by the door. ¡°Mommy, his car is so beautiful.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a look. The little boy outside the door was sitting on a dpidated tricycle.

    Support our

    It was no wonder that Xiao Bao found it novel. After all, to the young master of the Jun Corporation, ording to the normal trajectory, he would nevere into contact with something like a tricycle in his life.

    Xiao Bao looked outside. <i>That small car looked very fun. </i>

    Xia Wanyuan stroked his head. ¡°Mommy will make one for youter. Don¡¯t let your father know.¡±

    ¡°Really?!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    At that moment, heat rose from the kitchen. Jun Shiling walked out with a steamed bun. Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s guilty expression, he frowned. ¡°What are you saying?¡±

    Xiao Bao covered his mouth with his hand and blinked. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything!¡±

    ......

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°Come and eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao ran to the table and reached into the steamer. However, Jun Shiling pped the back of his hand.

    ¡°Daddy, what are you doing?¡± Xiao Bao retracted his hand, feeling extremely aggrieved. There was a red mark on the back of his hand.

    Jun Shiling did not reply. He took out a bun and ced it in his bowl. Then, he used his chopsticks to pick up the outer skin. The heat inside gradually seeped out.

    After cooling it for a while, Jun Shiling opened half of it with his hand. He estimated that it was not that hot before handing it to Xiao Bao. ¡°Take it and eat.¡±

    Xiao Bao was happy. He took a bite and his mouth was filled with fragrance. The back of his hand did not hurt anymore. Xiao Bao excitedly nted a kiss on Jun Shiling¡¯s face when he was not paying attention. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious.¡±

    Jun Shiling took a tissue and wiped the oil mark off his face. He looked at Xiao Bao in disdain. ¡°Your mouth is filled with oil.¡±

    Xiao Bao smiled foolishly at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did not want to see this silly son anymore. He took a bun and went to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was sitting on a small stool, looking thoughtfully at the nest of bamboo in the courtyard.

    ]Jun Shiling walked over and kissed her on the cheek. ¡°Baby, what are you thinking about?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan came back to her senses and looked at the bun in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. She opened her mouth at him. ¡°Ah ~¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and tore off a piece to feed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Is it delicious?¡±

    ¡°Mm, CEO ~¡± Meeting Jun Shiling¡¯s hinting gaze, Xia Wanyuan changed her words in time. ¡°Of course it¡¯s delicious! It¡¯s madeby my hubby.¡±

    Jun Shiling was pleased by this ¡°Hubby¡±. He reached out and fed Xia Wanyuan another mouthful of food.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to open her mouth to bite when Jun Shiling suddenly spoke.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    Then, a heart mosaic was pasted on the live-stream. In the distance, Xiao Bao, who was happily chewing on a bun, reached out and covered his face again.

    [ Director, are you not treating us as family? At least we¡¯re members. Is there anything my noble VIP can¡¯t see? ]

    [... Don¡¯t be like this. I died on the spot when you called her baby.]

    [I¡¯m dumbfounded. Their children are already so old, but they¡¯re still so clingy. Are you serious?]

    Five minutester, the heart mosaic disappeared. Xia Wanyuan smiled and pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°We¡¯re recording. Stop fooling around every day.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the camera and did not care. ¡°We¡¯re legal. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Everyone: <i>No, no. As long as you¡¯re happy. Who dares to say anything? </i>

    After dinner, Xiao Bao insisted on watching others fish. Jun Shiling wanted to reject him, but Xiao Bao¡¯s coquettish skills had reached perfection. He kept saying, ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the best.¡± ¡°Daddy, can you apany me?¡± Jun Shiling reluctantly agreed.

    ¡°You guys go ahead. I want to lie down for a while more.¡± Before leaving, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Go ahead. Xiao Bao hasn¡¯t seen it either. Apany him.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling pull Xiao Bao out reluctantly.

    In the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan, who had just said she was going to sleep, walked into the woodshed and took out a bamboo knife.

    Thements were filled with ???

    [ording to my years of experience living with my grandfather, isn¡¯t this knife used to cut bamboo?]

    [ Don¡¯t tell me Xia Wanyuan knows how to do this too? I just want to ask, is there anything she doesn¡¯t know? ]

    Just as everyone had guessed, Xia Wanyuan walked straight to the bamboo in the courtyard with a knife. Wearing a pair of gloves, she quickly cut down seven tall bamboos.

    Xia Wanyuan dragged the bamboo to the middle of the courtyard and cut off the leaves. The bamboo knife was stuck in the middle of the root.

    With a squeak, the entire bamboo was evenly divided into two.

    Xia Wanyuan did the same and quickly cut open the seven bamboos.

    Then, she went to the kitchen and took out some flint. She built a fire in the courtyard and bent the thicker bamboo pieces to shape.

    Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions in confusion. Not long after, four bamboo wheels curved into a circle beside Xia Wanyuan.

    There were many people around the fish pool. The vigers took a small boat and threw the into theke before slowly dragging it ashore.

    Seeing a lively fish, Xiao Bao was overjoyed. He held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and jumped around, but Jun Shiling was concerned about Xia Wanyuan at home.

    Coincidentally, Yang Wei and Zhang Nian heard that there was fishing and wanted to buy some fresh fish to improve their lives. They bumped into Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly. He looked at the production team around him and thought that Xiao Bao should not be in any danger, so he pulled Xiao Bao to Yang Wei. ¡°I have something on at home. Please help take care of this child.¡±

    Xiao Bao was in a good mood and did not care that his custody had been temporarily transferred.

    Jun Shiling strode back to the courtyard.

    When he pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was bamboo on the ground. Xia Wanyuan was busy with something when she looked up and saw Jun Shiling. She was a little surprised. ¡°Why are you back so early?¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, Jun Shiling¡¯s face darkened when he saw this. ¡°It¡¯s so dangerous. Why are you doing this?¡±

    ¡°Make a toy for Xiao Bao.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darken. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly smiled at him. ¡°Hubby, help me.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling walked over with a cold expression. ¡°You spoil him every day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and looked at Jun Shiling, then leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression began to improve.

    Jun Shiling took the things from Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You always do this. Can you change to something else?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled until her eyes narrowed. ¡°This works every time. I¡¯ll change to something else when it doesn¡¯t work.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and tapped his face. Xia Wanyuan kissed him with a red face. ¡°Are you done? You¡¯re not angry anymore?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up, and the cold aura around him waspletely resolved. ¡°What do you want to do? I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    [Ahhh!!! What did she say!! I¡¯m so curious, I¡¯m scratching my heart! Teach us how to coax CEO Jun so quickly.]

    [ Cough, cough. As someone who has been through this, I dare to guess if Xia Wanyuan promised CEO Jun something, and it was something CEO Jun especially liked to do. ]

    [The person in front, something he likes to ¡®do¡¯? Which one? I don¡¯t understand. Can you tell me?]

    [ Are you really not afraid that CEO Jun will assassinate you when he sees these flirtatiousments? ]

    There were more and more people in the live-stream. Everyone was howling that they were about to be tortured to death while guarding the live-stream with relish, as they could not even bear to eat.

    In the courtyard, with Jun Shiling¡¯s addition, the progress was much faster.

    Gradually, half of the thing under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand had an outline. Everyone finally understood that Xia Wanyuan was actually using bamboo to build a car.

    Furthermore, it was not a simple car that was casually wrapped with a few wooden sticks. Instead, it was a small sports car with exquisite seats.

    Thements in the live-stream gradually turned into ellipses.

    [... Isn¡¯t this a love variety show?! Why do I feel like I¡¯m watching a craft productionpetition?? So bamboo can be woven like this?!]

    [ What kind of god is Xia Wanyuan? F*ck! Is there anything she doesn¡¯t know? ]

    [ My friends and I are all stunned. I thought that the pampered Madam Jun might not be used to living in the countryside. I never expected Xia Wanyuan to turn this ce into a paradise for her to show off her skills. ]

    In the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan was slowly knitting with gloves. Jun Shiling apanied her and chatted with her, asionally helping her wipe the sweat off her face.

    By the fish pond, Xiao Bao chatted happily with the fishes for a long time. By the time he remembered to look for Jun Shiling, Jun Shiling had already left.

    ¡°Little friend, your father is home. He asked us to take care of you first. He¡¯ll pick you upter.¡± Although Zhang Nian had a fiery temper, she was still very patient when facing such a young child.

    Xiao Bao lowered his eyshes in disappointment and circled his fingers. He missed his father.

    However, on second thought, Xiao Bao realized that the uncle and auntie in front of him had been entrusted by his father to take care of him. He could not be insensible.

    Xiao Bao hid the disappointment in his eyes and walked over to hold Zhang Nian¡¯s hand. He looked up, his slightly curly hair stuck to his forehead with sweat, and his eyes had a dependent smile. ¡°Thank you for taking care of me, Auntie.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Zhang Nian had never experienced the feeling of being relied on by such a young child in more than ten years. She was immediately charmed by Xiao Bao.

    Zhang Nian and Yang Wei¡¯s family did not earn as much money as Jun Shiling. Their living expenses today had not been settled.

    Yang Wei yed with the two of them by the fish pond for a while before Zhang Nian began to nag, ¡°How do you still have the cheek to y here? We haven¡¯t settled the money for lunch and dinner.¡±

    ¡°Will you starve to death if you don¡¯t eat one meal?¡± Although he knew that what Zhang Nian said made sense, Yang Wei could not help but want to argue with her and refused to take a step back.

    Zhang Nian still wanted to say something to him. She nced at the wide-eyed Xiao Bao and finally swallowed her words.

    Yang Wei also left with a livid expression.

    Xiao Bao looked curiously at Zhang Nian, who was secretly wiping her tears, and then at the livid Yang Wei. He was puzzled.<i> Why did these two uncle and auntie quarrel?</i>

    Xiao Bao was a little curious about what Yang Wei had done, so he secretly followed him with his short legs.

    Yang Wei had retired as an athlete and lived in the city since he was young. He was not familiar with the countryside and did not know what to do to earn money. He could only sell some hardbor and help the boss of the rice shop carry the rice bag.

    Xiao Bao felt that Uncle Yang Wei had worked hard, so he dug into his pocket and took out a 20-dor bill.

    Although Xiao Bao lived a rich life, he had never had much money on hand. This 20 yuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s reward for helping him wash the dishes. Xiao Bao had been secretly hiding it in his pocket for several months.

    Looking at the sweating Yang Wei, Xiao Bao reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the money. He took the money and ran to a small stall at the side to buy a bottle of water and a bottle of drink. He had 10 yuan left.

    ¡°Uncle Yang Wei, this is for you.¡± Xiao Bao ran to the door of the rice shop and handed the water and coke to Yang Wei.

    Yang Wei was stunned. ¡°This?¡±

    ¡°Auntie Zhang Nian asked me to send it to you.¡± Xiao Bao looked serious. No one could imagine that he was lying.

    Yang Wei naturally believed him. Just as he took it, Xiao Bao ran away. However, after running two steps, he turned around. ¡°Uncle Yang Wei, Auntie Zhang Nian said that you¡¯ve worked hard. She loves you very much!¡±

    On the spot, the straight man, Yang Wei, who was almost 40 years old, blushed silently. He looked down at the coke in his hand, and his eyes revealed a hint of youth shyness.

    Xiao Bao had only bought it casually, so he did not know that the first time Yang Wei and Zhang Nian met, Zhang Nian had bought a bottle of coke for him, who had just left the venue. The two of them had fallen in love at first sight.

    Xiao Bao jumped around and prepared to go back to look for Zhang Nian. On the way, he met a beautiful sister who sold flowers. The girl, that sold roses that were originally three yuan each, was attacked by Xiao Bao¡¯s address of Fairy Sister.

    he flower seller lost her mind and gave Xiao Bao five roses for 10 yuan.

    Xiao Bao smiled sweetly at the flower seller with two dimples and blinked his big eyes. ¡°Thank you, Fairy Sister. You¡¯re so beautiful!¡±

    Thedy was blinded by the rainbow fart and sent another rose into Xiao Bao¡¯s arms. ¡°Take it. May everything be smooth in your life.¡±

    Xiao Bao returned with a full load. He sang a nursery rhyme and was about to look for Zhang Nian when he suddenly thought of something. He bit off the branches of three roses and hid the roses in his hoodie.

    Then, he ran to Zhang Nian with the remaining three sticks. ¡°Auntie, this is from Uncle Yang Wei. He said that you¡¯ve worked hard. He loves you very much.¡±

    hang Nian was shocked. After being married for so many years, she had never heard Yang Wei say this. ¡°Little friend, did your Uncle Yang Wei really say this?¡±

    Xiao Bao widened his eyes slightly and said righteously, ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m a child. Children never lie.¡±

    It had to be said that Xiao Bao¡¯s exquisite appearance was too confusing. No one would think that such a cute little child was lying.

    Zhang Nian took the three roses in embarrassment and said in disdain, ¡°Your Uncle Yang Wei is too much. We¡¯re already an old couple, yet he¡¯s still ying this game. Isn¡¯t he ashamed?¡±

    Although she said that, Zhang Nian took the rose with a smile.

    She thought of her first date with Yang Wei. At that time, Yang Wei trained every day and did not have much money, but every time he asked her out, he would buy her clothes and food.

    The first time Yang Wei gave her flowers, he had given her three roses. At that time, Yang Wei had just bought her winter clothes and only had one yuan left. It was Valentine¡¯s Day, and the girls on the street had gifts in their hands. Yang Wei saw the girl selling flowers beside him, and there were only three flowers left in the flower basket.

    He simply used hisst dor to buy thest three roses in the flower basket and gave them to her.

    The bright roses in their hands seemed to have washed away the estrangement and argument between them at this moment, bringing them back to the era when they understood each other and their hearts would blush.

    [ Damn, why am I a little touched? I originally thought that Yang Wei and Zhang Nian¡¯s marriage was not happy at all and was noisy, but now it seems that they were once young and their hearts had once blushed. ]

    [ The little darling is really sensible. What position did she use to give birth to such a cute and sensible little darling?! ]

    It was almost noon and Xiao Bao¡¯s stomach was already rumbling. Xiao Bao touched his stomach and tiptoed to look in the direction of the small courtyard. He pouted. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Daddying to pick me up?¡±

    Xiao Bao looked left and right. In the end, he decided not to wait and went home himself. Just as he looked up, he saw Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walking over together.

    Xiao Bao ran towards them excitedly and realized that there was a green sports car behind them.

    The sports car was about a meter long. The body was made of bamboo strips. The main driver, the front passenger seat, and the steering wheel were all made of bamboo strips.

    Xia Wanyuan even made Ultraman, Spiderman, Pikachu, and SpongeBob for Xiao Bao with bamboo leaves.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened in joy. ¡°Mommy, did you make this for me?!¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Xiao Bao. Before she could do anything, Jun Shiling had already lifted Xiao Bao up and ced him in the driver¡¯s seat. The driver¡¯s seat was just enough to stuff Xiao Bao in.

    The car could not start on its own. Jun Shiling held a rope and walked in front. The wheels in the car rolled.

    Xiao Bao grabbed the steering wheel and turned left and right. Although Jun Shiling looked impatient, he still changed directions ording to Xiao Bao¡¯s instructions.

    Passing through the streets of the town, Xiao Bao¡¯s sports car became the focus of the entire venue.

    Feeling the envious gazes of the other children on him, Xiao Bao smiled until his eyes could not be seen. He cheered happily in the car.

    <i>I am the happiest child in the world!! </i>

    [Boohoo, is it toote for me to reincarnate now? What kind of mother is this? I want to take this car too.]

    [ Which boy doesn¡¯t want to have his own unique sports car when he was young? However, the difference between us and him is that his mother made it for him and our mother gave us a meal of bamboo b pork. ]

    [The person in front, let alone when I was young, I¡¯m already in my thirties. I also want someone to make me such a small car. I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying.]

    At the entrance of the small courtyard, Xiao Bao jumped out of the car reluctantly. Then, he reached into his hat and took out three ttened roses.

    Xiao Bao looked a little sad. ¡°Mommy, this flower doesn¡¯t look good anymore.¡±

    <i>My mommy deserved the most beautiful roses. It was all my fault for only ying by myself and not taking out the flowers to put them properly.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the flower and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s headfortingly. ¡°No, I can wash my face with it tonight. Thank you, Xiao Bao.¡±

    Xiao Bao was happy again. ¡°Then does Mommy like my gift?¡±

    ¡°Of course I do.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, Mommy, I like the gift you gave me too.¡± Xiao Bao smiled and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg.

    Xiao Bao was happy, but Jun Shiling did not look happy.

    Xiao Bao pushed the cart in. Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and hooked his palm in amusement. She whispered, ¡°Aren¡¯t you embarrassed to be jealous of your son?¡±

    Jun Shiling grabbed her hand. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Xiao Bao turned around at the right time to show off to Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t you think the car Mommy gave me is especially beautiful?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s mood worsened.

    [Hahaha, this arrogant snort. Is this CEO Jun? Why is he a little cute?]

    [If it were me, I would be jealous of the little kid too. Boohoo, this gift is too thoughtful. Who wouldn¡¯t like such a gift?]

    In the silent Nightless City,

    Seeing Xiao Bao smile carefreely and seeing the gift Xia Wanyuan had made for him,

    Yu Qian¡¯s originally calm eyes suddenly rippled.

    He tilted his head, his eyes filled with confusion. <i>Why could that child smile so happily?</i>

    At this moment, the electronic sensor began to warn him. Yu Qian paused the scene.

    The door opened and Jayce walked in.

    ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a reply from the Jiang family in Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Oh? What did they say?¡± The scene in the video stopped at the moment when Xia Wanyuan gently stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. The sunlightnded in her eyes, making them extremely bright.

    ¡°As you expected, the Jiang family believed us. They said that as long as we can work together to take down the Jun Corporation, they will agree to help us clear the market in Continent M.¡±

    ¡°Is there a woman in the Jiang family called Jiang Yun?¡± Yu Qian suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

    Jayce was puzzled. <i>Why is my boss, who had never been close to women, starting to pay attention to women? Furthermore, it was more than one. </i>

    ¡°Yes,¡± Jayce replied respectfully.

    ¡°Oh.¡± The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Jun Shiling is such an outstanding man. Isn¡¯t it a loss to have only one wife? I think Miss Jiang is quite suitable for him.¡±

    The scene of Jun Shiling and his family standing together was too beautiful.

    And he had always liked to destroy everything beautiful.

    Jayce did not know what Yu Qian¡¯s sudden suggestion meant, so he did not dare to speak and quietly waited for Yu Qian¡¯s next instructions.

    Yu Qian looked up at Jayce. ¡°Pass my words to Jiang Wan. She¡¯s a smart person, so she naturally understands what I mean.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce bowed respectfully and retreated.

    The room returned to calmness.

    Yu Qian let go of the pause button andughter came from the screen again. The sunlight shone on them with a warm temperature, but theboratory outside the screen was as cold as ice.

    <h4>Chapter 985: The Cutest Little Friend</h4>

    Beijing,

    Jiang Yun was dressed in a white suit, her exquisite corbone looking even more slender under the ne. She took a sip of the red wine in her ss. ¡°Jun Shiling?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister.¡± Jiang Kui leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs. ¡°Isn¡¯t he the only one in the world who deserves you? You don¡¯t want to see the Jun family and the Wei familypletely be one, right?¡±

    Jiang Kui agreed with Old K¡¯s suggestion.?<i>If we could really separate Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, wouldn¡¯t that arrogant and beautiful womanpletely fall into my hands??</i>

    ¡°Brother, have you seen Old K?¡± Jiang Yun admitted that Jun Shiling was an extremely outstanding man, but she was not confident that she could take down this man. After all, that Xia Wanyuan was much smarter than she had imagined.

    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Kui shook his head and sat up straight. ¡°This person used Continent F as his stronghold and extended his tentacles to the world. Countless people want to know what he looks like, but unfortunately, there¡¯s no news about him so far.¡±

    Jiang Yun frowned slightly. ¡°We have to be wary of him. This person is too dangerous.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Kui looked indifferent. ¡°No matter how resourceful he is, it¡¯s not his ce to behave atrociously in China.¡±

    Jiang Yun took a sip of wine. ¡°I hope so.¡± Although she said that, Jiang Yun still felt a little uneasy.

    ¡°Now, your mission is to think about how to take down Jun Shiling.¡± Jiang Kui saw Jiang Yun¡¯s worried expression and did not think much of it.

    ¡°He and Xia Wanyuan are so loving. Aren¡¯t you overestimating me?¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Jiang Kui smiled disdainfully. ¡°Love? They¡¯re just acting. The two of them are just in a contract marriage.¡±

    ¡°Contract marriage?¡± Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Kui in surprise, but on second thought, she felt that it did not seem like it. She was also a woman. She could feel that the light in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes when he looked at Xia Wanyuan did not seem fake.

    ¡°Just wait and see.¡± The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I want topletely shatter the appearance of the perfect couple.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the small town,

    The usually noisy Yang Wei and Zhang Nian family was a little too quiet today.

    Yang Wei carried his bag for a long time and returned home with a pile of meat and vegetables. When he approached the house, he touched the sweat on his forehead and looked at the coke in the stic bag that he could not bear to drink.

    Yang Wei suddenly stopped and walked to the sink to wash his face. Then, he smelled the sweat on his body and cleaned himself before picking up his things and entering.

    [Hahaha, I suddenly feel that Yang Wei is a little cute as a straight man.]

    [I suddenly feel that the middle-aged man in front of me has be a young man in his teens. He¡¯s happily going to see the girl he loves.]

    [ I¡¯m thinking of a question. We¡¯ve always criticized Yang Wei and Zhang Nian for having too fiery a temper and living a tiring life, but they were once boys and girls who would blush with just a word. ]

    Yang Wei pushed open the door. Zhang Nian was sitting on the steps picking vegetables. Seeing him return, she looked a little unnaturally shy. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yang Wei¡¯s eyes flickered as he handed the thing in his hand to Yang Wei. ¡°Here.¡±

    ¡°So many?¡± Zhang Nian took them. They were all her favorite dishes. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Yang Wei scratched the back of his head. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard too.¡±

    No matter how much the middle-aged couple wanted to express their love for each other, that was all they could say.

    Zhang Nian went to cook while Yang Wei fixed the mosquito for her in the living room. The weather in the town was humid and hot, and there were many mosquitoes. Zhang Nian had mentioned itst night, and Yang Wei remembered it.

    Today¡¯s dinner was the quietest meal the two of them had. Zhang Nian casually stuffed the fish into Yang Wei¡¯s bowl. Yang Wei paused for a moment and picked up the meat to ce it in Zhang Nian¡¯s bowl.

    After dinner, Yang Wei went to the bedroom to set up a mosquito. He saw the bright roses on the bedside table and was about to ask,

    Zhang Nian walked over to change the water for the roses and looked at Yang Wei shyly. ¡°It¡¯s already very hard for you to earn money. Don¡¯t buy it next time. It¡¯s enough that I know your intentions.¡±

    With that, Zhang Nian felt a little embarrassed and walked downstairs with the vase, leaving Yang Wei standing there thoughtfully.

    After a while, he thought of Jun Shiling¡¯s exquisite little child and his bottle of coke. He finally understood what was going on today.

    However, he had to thank that little child. If not for him, he would have forgotten that he and Zhang Nian had once cherished each other and married because of love.

    Yang Wei stood there and sighed for a while. Then, he went downstairs to help Zhang Nian start the fire.

    In the kitchen, the lights were a little dim. Zhang Nian flipped the bacon in the pot. This was Yang Wei¡¯s favorite.

    ¡°Wife,¡± Yang Wei suddenly said.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Nian had just scooped a spoonful of salt from the salt jar and carefully ced it in the pot.

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard to manage this family.¡± Yang Wei looked at Zhang Nian. This girl was also a leading beauty in the entertainment industry back then. She spoke softly and acted weakly.

    If not for the fact that she had always contributed to this family and took care of their children, she would not look much older than her sisters of the same age.

    Zhang Nian¡¯s hand trembled as she poured the entire spoonful of salt in. She hurriedly took a spat and scooped it out, but it had already dissolved. Zhang Nian red at Yang Wei angrily. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Look, I put too much salt.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll finish everything. I like everything you make.¡± Yang Wei smiled honestly. Zhang Nian red at him, but the corners of her lips curled up.

    Night fell. Xiao Bao nibbled on a strawberry and told Xia Wanyuan what he had done today.

    ¡°Mommy, did I do well?¡± Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes and asked for praise.

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s furry head. ¡°You did well. I¡¯ll reward you with two hundred yuan when we get back, okay?¡±

    ¡°Wow!! Really?!¡± Hearing 200 yuan, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise, Xiao Bao leaned towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, do you have anything to reward me?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him and did not speak.

    Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks and climbed into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Jun Shiling pulled him into his arms and Xiao Bao kissed Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m super obedient.¡±

    Looking at his stupid and cute son, a smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll take you skiing tomorrow.¡±

    He knew that there was an artificial ski resort not far from the town.

    ¡°Wow! That¡¯s amazing!¡± Xiao Bao was overjoyed, his eyes filled with anticipation.

    The production team was collectively depressed.

    The guests in the previous episodes had been seriously following the missions they had been assigned. They racked their brains every day to earn living expenses, so they could film a lot of materials.

    This family was different. They earned enough living expenses for a year in a day before starting to travel with public expenses.

    The production team was only responsible for filming and not for the editing and operation of the show.

    Hence, they did not know how big the response to Jun Shiling¡¯s daily life was.

    Every time this daily broadcast began, the viewership ratings of the program would always soar to an extremely high level.

    Xiao Bao twisted in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Jun Shiling reached out and pulled him down. ¡°You¡¯re already so old. What are you doing?¡±

    Xiao Bao was unconvinced. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m still a child. Mommy, tell me, am I a child?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s soft face. ¡°You¡¯re the cutest child.¡±

    ]Xiao Bao smiled sweetly at Xia Wanyuan with dimples.

    Jun Shiling looked at him in disdain and reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°You spoil him every day. Why don¡¯t I see how he¡¯s cute?¡±

    Xiao Bao jumped between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re too much!! The kindergarten auntie said that this is not good for a child¡¯s mental health growth!¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly.?<i>This little brat knows a lot.?</i>

    However, after Xiao Bao finished speaking, he held his face with both hands in distress and frowned. ¡°Although Daddy is very overboard, I still like Daddy very much. What should I do?¡±

    A smile appeared on Jun Shiling¡¯s lips as he reached out to pinch Xiao Bao¡¯s face.

    ¡°Hehe ~¡± Xiao Bao smiled foolishly at Jun Shiling.

    [ Help!!! This feeling of total dependence. Boohoo, children are indeed angels. I¡¯m going to cry from him being cute! ]

    [ Xiao Bao is really so obedient. He¡¯s clearly so aggrieved that he¡¯s about to cry, but he still likes CEO Jun, relies on CEO Jun, and is a fairy child. ]

    [ Tell me, does such a child really exist? Why is my child like a demon king? It makes me want to stuff this child back every day and reconstruct him. ]

    The town was already as warm as spring. The temperature in the artificial ski resort not far from the town was still a little low.

    The production team had informed them in advance, so the ski resort was empty today.

    The photographers carried their cameras and shone at the surrounding scenery. The ski resort was endless white, and the audience in the live-stream waited anxiously.

    After waiting for a long time, no one appeared in the camera. The audience could not hold it in anymore.

    At this moment, a white figure suddenly shed out from the highest point. This figure was extremely light. It stepped on the snow and circled in the air.

    Like a dragon soaring, like butterflies dancing,

    The people in the live-stream were stunned.

    Immediately after, a ck figure shed out as if it had broken through the air and quickly caught up to the white figure.

    One was strong, and the other was elegant. They were extremely harmonious.

    The people in the live-stream were stunned. They had temporarily forgotten that they were still waiting for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to appear.

    [ Oh my god, there¡¯s actually a god hidden in this small ski resort. This is too amazing. ]

    [ Immortal!!! ept my bow. Which professional athlete has entered the grassroots? ]

    Just as everyone was specting,

    The camera moved down and a small figure in a child¡¯s ski suit appeared.

    Xiao Bao danced and shouted at the two figures, ¡°Daddy and Mommy are so handsome!!¡±

    The audience in the live-stream was speechless.

 Chapter 986 - Meaning of Love; Princess Doesnâ€™t Indulge Jiang Yun

    <h4>Chapter 986: Meaning of Love; Princess Doesn¡¯t Indulge Jiang Yun</h4>

    Soon, the two figures slid in front of Xiao Bao.

    Hiding under the ski caps were Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s faces.

    [ If God doesn¡¯t like me, he can take me away directly and not send these immortal big shots to torture me. ]

    [I like skiing very much. I just want to say that their skills areparable to professional athletes.]

    [ How cool. After watching that video just now, I can¡¯t help but order from a certain treasure. I want to buy a set to prepare for skiing. ]

    ¡°Mommy, teach me ~¡± Xiao Bao ran excitedly towards Xia Wanyuan, but his legs were too fast and he fell into the snow.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh. Xiao Bao looked up at her. ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re mocking me.¡±

    ¡°No, no.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped smiling and stepped forward to pull Xiao Bao up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Your father and I will teach you.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao, who did not hold grudges, fell into joy again.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan each held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and slowly brought him to learn skiing.

    Xiao Bao was tired and rested at the side. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan held hands and danced a waltz on the snow.

    [ Sigh, I¡¯m so envious of CEO Jun and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s love. I feel that the two of them know everything and can do everything together. ]

    [The one in front, do what together?]

    ......

    [Call the police. A chicken has been caught here. Please lock her back in the chicken coop.]

    The family yed to their hearts¡¯ content here. When they returned to the small courtyard, the moon was already high in the sky. The three of them, who had been tired for the entire day, washed up andy on the big bed together.

    Xiao Baoy in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, and Xia Wanyuany in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    There were the faint cries of insects outside the window. The moon was especially big tonight.

    ¡°Mommy, I love you so much.¡± Lying in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s warm arms, Xiao Bao felt that he was the happiest child in the world. ¡°Daddy, I love you second.¡±

    On ount of Xiao Bao¡¯s obedience, Jun Shiling was prepared to reward him with a bedtime story. ¡°Let me tell you a story.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Bao clung to the nket excitedly, wanting to hear Jun Shiling tell a story.

    ¡°In the past¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s deep voice echoed in the moonlit room.

    Gradually, the breathing of the mother and son in his arms calmed down, and Jun Shiling¡¯s voice became softer.

    Looking at Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan under the moonlight, Jun Shiling tightened his arms and pulled them into his arms, then followed their sweet dreams.

    After yesterday¡¯s ident, Yang Wei and Zhang Nian had actually regained some of their past shadows.

    The moon quietly shone in the courtyard. Zhang Nian stood in the courtyard and sang a y. Yang Wei chuckled and yed the beat for her.

    On Lin Lei and Qin Jiao¡¯s side, the two elders were used to sleeping early, but they were leaving tomorrow. It was rare for the two elders to chat in the courtyard for a while.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling hade to deliver fruits to them. Seeing the two young people glued together, the two elders did not say anything, but they were a little emotional.

    Looking back at the 50 years they had spent together, Lin Lei touched the beard on his chin and looked at Qin Jiao beside him. ¡°You haven¡¯t enjoyed much in your life with me.¡±

    Qin Jiao was almost 70 years old, and this was the first time she had heard Lin Lei say this. Although she was old, her eyes were still clear. ¡°I¡¯ve never studied. Back then, my family background was not good either. I should have starved to death long ago. It¡¯s already my blessing to be able to marry you and have a family to serve the two of you.¡±

    In that era decades ago, if not for Lin Lei, this man, holding the pir of the family, she would probably have starved to death by the roadside. How would she have the days of ying with her grandchildren now?

    There were always people who told her that Lin Lei did not know how to coax people. He had a bad temper and waited for her to serve him at home.

    However, what she wanted to say was that she had nothing to rely on in her life. She had dedicated all her energy to this family and she already felt very happy.

    ¡°I wonder how long my body can live.¡± Lin Lei sighed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen. ¡°I¡¯ll try to die earlier than you. This way, you can live peacefully for two years.¡±

    Qin Jiao fetched a basin of water and ced it in front of Lin Lei, trembling. She washed his feet as usual. ¡°We were born in the same year. When the timees, we¡¯ll leave in the same year. It¡¯ll save us trouble.¡±

    Under the dim yellow light, Lin Lei, who had been unyielding his entire life, looked at his wife¡¯s white hair and secretly wiped his tears.

    [Sigh, I¡¯ve always felt that the two of them don¡¯t have love. In a feudal society, Grandma Qin served Lin Lei her entire life. I thought she hated him.]

    [We can¡¯t measure their era with this era. Love has more than one definition. Who can say that this marriage, which has experienced fifty years of life together, isn¡¯t love?]

    [I suddenly understand why the production team invited these three families. Love might have more than one definition. Everyone will eventually meet a partner who suits them.]

    Good times are always short,

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were both busy with chores. Yang Wei and Zhang Nian were also worried about the child who was in his third year of high school.

    They finally had to say goodbye to everyone for this episode.

    Looking at everyone¡¯s backs as they left the airport, the live-stream was filled with tears.

    [Let¡¯s have a few more seasons each, please.]

    [The show is over. My youth is gone. Boohoo.]

    [Thank you for letting me see the most beautiful love in the world.]

    From the beginning of the broadcast, ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡± had dominated the trending searches on Weibo. Now that the show was over, the audience finally had time to discuss and reminisce.

    Hence, naturally, the entire trending list on Weibo was upied by ¡°Let¡¯s Go Out¡±.

    After staying in the warm town for a few days, they returned to Beijing. The weather here was still cold and snowy, making them a little ufortable. Fortunately, the three of them changed back into their winter clothes early.

    The first thing Jun Shiling did when he returned to Beijing was to return to thepany. The car that sent them around was parked outside the Jun Corporation.

    Jun Shiling got out of the car. The chauffeur was about to close the door and send Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao back to the manor when Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, not far away, Jiang Yun was walking over with a smile.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I happen to have a project to discuss with you. Do you have time now?¡± Knowing that Jun Shiling would reject her, Jiang Yun added before he could answer, ¡°It¡¯s about the overseas base station.¡±

    As expected, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression changed slightly when he heard this.

    ¡°Hello, Madam Jun.¡± Jiang Yun looked as if she had just seen Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam Jun, do you mind if I borrow CEO Jun for two hours?¡±

    ¡°Of course I mind.¡±

 Chapter 987 - Uncle is Back~

    <h4>Chapter 987: Uncle is Back~</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had always been a person who knew the big picture, but that was only limited to when she thought it was the big picture.

    Now, it was obvious that it was not.

    The way Jiang Yun had walked over and looked at Jun Shiling made her feel very ufortable. It was as if she was hunting. Furthermore, the words ¡°borrow Jun Shiling¡± were really unpleasant.

    Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled. ¡°I heard that CEO Jun and Madam Jun have a good rtionship. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed open the car and walked out. ¡°Half of the Jun Corporation is mine. Is there anything I can¡¯t hear?¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, Jiang Wan¡¯s expression changed slightly. She looked at Jun Shiling, who was standing at the side, and saw that Jun Shiling¡¯s expression did not change at all. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan was as gentle as ever.

    Jiang Yun felt that she might have underestimated their rtionship.

    ¡°Of course. Then can CEO Jun and Madam Jun go together?¡± Jiang Yun smiled politely at Xia Wanyuan.

    In the corporation¡¯s meeting room, Jiang Yun¡¯s expression was a little cracked.

    She had been sent to America since she was ten years old and had participated in countless meetings in the business world. This was the first time she had faced such a situation.

    She sat at the side of the meeting table. On the opposite side sat Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    There was also a doll with only its head exposed on the table. It was blinking its big eyes at her curiously with clear eyes.

    Alright, Jiang Yun pressed her hand down. She admitted that found this child a little cute.

    ......

    ¡°What is it? Tell me.¡± Jun Shiling did not want to waste time.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you should know that our Jiang family¡¯smunication technology overseas is very good. The Jun Corporation is currently expanding overseas rapidly. If CEO Jun is willing, the Jiang family and the Jun family can cooperate,¡± Jiang Wan said and handed a copy of the proposal to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling took it but did not look at it. Instead, he handed it to Xia Wanyuan first.

    Seeing this scene, Jiang Yun¡¯s eyebrows twitched.

    She felt that her stupid brother might have received the wrong news.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped it open and was a little surprised. This contract could be said to be quite fair. It pulled the interests of the Jun family and the Jiang family into a bnce. If one did not give in, the other would not either.

    Jun Shiling watched from the side and finally said, ¡°I¡¯ll consider it.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Yun reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°I hope the next time we meet, CEO Jun, you will give me good news.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not shake Jiang Yun¡¯s hand, but Jiang Yun seemed to must have contact with him and stopped in midair.

    ¡°Okay, see you next time.¡± At this moment, Xiao Bao leaned over and ced his chubby hand in Jiang Yun¡¯s.

    Jiang Yun smiled. ¡°Small CEO Jun is also CEO Jun.¡±

    After shaking hands with Xiao Bao, Jiang Yun turned and left.

    ¡°What does she mean?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.

    The Jiang family and the Jun family werepetitors. She had also heard that the Jiang family¡¯s overseas market had developed well.?<i>Wasn¡¯t she afraid that she would be a piece of fat meat and let the Jun Corporation take the opportunity to enter?</i>

    ¡°The Jiang family¡¯s overseas market isn¡¯t as stable as it seems.¡± Jun Shiling picked up the n and flipped through it. ¡°However, the Jiang family won¡¯t make a loss. I need to investigate again and see what they¡¯re plotting.¡±

    ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m hungry.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had finally finished talking, Xiao Bao finally had a chance to speak.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°Let¡¯s go to my office.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Sensing the disdain in Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xiao Bao touched his head in embarrassment.

    <i>Well, I¡¯m still young and needed to grow.?</i>

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan brought Xiao Bao back to the manor first. The moment she entered, she saw an unexpected figure.

    ¡°Uncle!!¡± The person on the sofa did not turn around, but Xiao Bao could already feel who it was.

    As expected, the person on the sofa turned around. It was Xia Yu.

    Compared to a few months ago, Xia Yu was much fairer. It was as if he had not been exposed to the sun in the past few days. The toughness on his face faded a little, and the youth in his eyes was heavier.

    Xiao Bao ran towards Xia Yu. ¡°Wow, Uncle, I miss you so much!¡±

    ¡°Really? When did you miss me?¡± Xia Yu smiled and raised Xiao Bao up. Xiao Bao giggled from his teasing.

    Xiao Bao racked his brains and thought about it.?<i>Aiya, I seem to have been busy ying recently and don¡¯t have time to miss Uncle, but I can¡¯t make Uncle sad,?</i>so Xiao Bao said vaguely, ¡°I¡¯ve missed you many times.¡±

    Xia Yu could naturally tell what Xiao Bao was thinking. He smiled. ¡°Little liar.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes carrying the familiar sunlight. ¡°Sister.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied with a smile. ¡°Is it the holidays?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded. ¡°Ipleted a big project. This time, the holidays will be longer. I can rest at home for a few more days.¡±

    Because of Xia Yu¡¯s arrival, Xiao Bao did not pester Xia Wanyuan anymore and brought Xia Yu to visit his new toy.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and called Wei Jin.

    A momentter, Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Xia Yu, take care of Xiao Bao. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡±

    In the Wei family¡¯s courtyard, there was a circle of people sitting on both sides of the hall.

    Under the hall, Wei Jin stood quietly. Her figure was unyielding, but there was a bright red palm print on her face.

    ¡°Father, I¡¯m not marrying.¡±

 Chapter 988 - The Princess Takes Control of the Wei Family

    <h4>Chapter 988: The Princess Takes Control of the Wei Family</h4>

    After Wei Jin finished speaking, Wei Zhong threw the teacup to the ground. Everyone in the room was shocked.

    ¡°Second Brother, this is Beijing. Did you smash your cup for our olddy to see?¡± Wei Xian could not sit still.

    <i>Wei Zhong did not take us seriously at all. The Old Madam was still sitting here. How was this teaching their daughter a lesson? This was teaching us a lesson.</i>

    ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m teaching my daughter a lesson. It¡¯s not up to a junior like you to interfere, right?¡± Wei Zhong looked at Wei Xian in disdain and walked to Old Madam Wei. ¡°Aunt, if you hadn¡¯t written to me to send Wei Jin over, I wouldn¡¯t have let here to Beijing. Look at what she has learned now. Do you think I was wrong to teach her a lesson?¡±

    Old Madam Wei nced at Wei Zhong. ¡°You should go back and ask your father if you¡¯re right to teach her a lesson here.¡±

    The corners of Wei Zhong¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m definitely taking Wei Jin away today.¡±

    He did not expect that Wei Jin would be so capable that she would beg Old Madam Wei. However, Old Madam Wei could not control the Wei family.

    Since both sides had separated, they could forget about reaching out so far.

    ¡°Since the child is unwilling, why must you force her like this?¡± Originally, this was the Jiangnan Wei family¡¯s matter and it was not convenient for the Old Madam to interfere, but she could not stand Wei Jin crying pitifully.

    ¡°Auntie, have you forgotten what you said when you left Nanjiang City and moved to Beijing?¡±

    Old Madam Wei¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup paused.

    Back then, when she left, she had said that once they separated, she would never interfere with the life and death of the Wei family in Jiangnan.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Zhong smiled disdainfully, turned around, and pulled Wei Jin¡¯s wrist out.

    However, after taking two steps, Wei Zhong saw an extremely beautiful figure walk in.

    Wei Jin¡¯s dim eyes suddenly lit up.

    ¡°Is this Second Uncle?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended on Wei Zhong.

    Wei Zhong¡¯s heart trembled under this cold gaze.

    He had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photos many times. In the photos, he could already tell that she was an imposing little girl. However, he did not expect that when he really stood in front of her, the aura on this little girl would actually suppress him until he could not breathe.

    ¡°So it¡¯s Madam Jun.¡± Wei Zhong stopped in his tracks. ¡°What brings you here, Madam Jun?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯te?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked Wei Zhong.

    Wei Zhong turned to look at the Wei family with different expressions and a strange smile appeared on his face. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s true. After all, Madam Jun personally said that as long as you want to control the Wei family in Beijing, you can control the Wei family. This is the Wei family. Why can¡¯t youe?¡±

    As soon as Wei Zhong finished speaking, the expressions of the other members of the Wei family changed. They all looked at Old Madam Wei.

    Old Madam Wei did not speak. The wrinkles on her face had traces of time.

    ¡°Second Brother, aren¡¯t your words too ridiculous?¡± Wei Xian was so anxious that she could not sit still.

    The Old Madam did not react at all when she heard this. If it were anyone else, the Old Madam would definitely be furious. This sign was too bad.

    ¡°Is it ridiculous?¡± Wei Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, did you say that?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan scanned the hall. Everyone was either angry, winking, curious, or impatient. Only Old Madam Wei, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at Xia Wanyuan calmly.

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Yes, I did. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to dare to admit it so directly. Every member of the Wei family in this room was more qualified than an outsider like her to inherit the Wei family in the capital.

    <i>Wasn¡¯t she afraid of bing the target of public criticism and making Old Madam Wei suspicious??</i>

    The hall was so quiet that one could vaguely hear breathing.

    However, Xia Wanyuan still felt that the matter was not big enough. She looked at Old Madam Wei, who was sitting on the high seat. ¡°Grandma, do you think I can?¡±

    Everyone focused their gazes on Old Madam Wei.

    At that moment, the entire hall was filled with a nervous and anxious atmosphere. Even Wei Zhong, who was watching themotion, was inexplicably nervous.

    The Old Madam looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan rushed over from the manor and put on a simple ck coat. She did not put on any makeup and stood quietly in the hall, forming an aura of her own. Even though she was sitting at the highest point in the hall, facing Xia Wanyuan, Old Madam Wei could clearly feel her old age, and the overwhelming strength from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bones.

    A smile suddenly appeared in Old Madam Wei¡¯s eyes. She waved at Xia Wanyuan, who calmly walked forward.

    Old Madam Wei held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and stood up, then pulled her to sit on the chair.

    Everyone in the room was shocked.

 Chapter 989 - Princess Establishing Power

    <h4>Chapter 989: Princess Establishing Power</h4>

    In China, since ancient times, the main seat had always been sat by the head of the family.

    Now that Old Madam Wei was standing at the side, Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the main seat leisurely. No one dared to imagine the meaning behind this.

    ¡°Mother, what are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Grandma?¡±

    The Wei family members in the room had ugly expressions. Even a fool could tell that Old Madam Wei was preparing to hand the Wei family over to Xia Wanyuan.

    Old Madam Wei held a walking stick and stood beside Xia Wanyuan. She waved at everyone, signaling for them to quieten down. ¡°I saidst year that I would retire at the end of the year and hand over the power of the family to Xia Wanyuan. It¡¯s not a temporary idea. I¡¯ve alreadypleted all the relevant legal procedures.¡±

    Old Madam Wei¡¯s wordspletely shattered the hope in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    ¡°The Wei family will be handed over to Xia Wanyuan in the future. From now on, you must help her with all your might.¡±

    As expected, when Matriarch Wei said this, the hall was silent.

    After all, who in the hall did not want to sit in the main seat?

    ¡°Haha.¡± Wei Zhong suddenlyughed and pped. ¡°Congrattions, Mother, for finding a suitable sessor. I believe you still have a lot of things to do, so I won¡¯t pester you anymore.¡±

    With that, Wei Zhong pulled Wei Jin up and was about to leave.

    ¡°Wait,¡± Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°Why? Although you control the Wei family¡¯s power, it¡¯s only the Wei family in Beijing. You have no right to interfere in our Jiangnan Wei family¡¯s matters.¡± Wei Zhong turned to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°It¡¯s true that I can¡¯t interfere, but I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t either.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Wei Zhong¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion.

    At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

    ¡°I heard that someone wants to take my granddaughter-inw away. Why didn¡¯t anyone inform me?¡± The energetic Old Master Mu walked in.

    Wei Zhong was stunned. ¡°Old Master Mu, what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Your daughter and my grandson have already gotten married and registered their marriage. They¡¯re legally married. Even if you¡¯re her father, you don¡¯t have the right to take her away casually.¡± Old Master Mu sat down on the chair beside him.

    Wei Zhong turned to look at Wei Jin. ¡°Is what he said true?!¡±

    Wei Jin clenched her fists and subconsciously nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at her. Wei Jin seemed to have gained courage. ¡°It¡¯s true. Mu Feng and I have already registered our marriage.¡±

    ¡°Bastard!¡± Wei Zhong raised his hand to hit Wei Jin, but Old Master Mu stopped him.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Wei Zhong nced at Old Master Mu and then at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting behind him.

    The north was originally the territory of the Wei family in Beijing. In addition, the Mu family was also very important. If he fought them head-on, it would probably be difficult for him to leave Beijing today.

    After weighing the two, Wei Zhong¡¯s expression quickly changed. He smiled and looked at Wei Jin. ¡°Daughter, your mother misses you. You haven¡¯t been back for so long. Don¡¯t you miss your mother?¡±

    As expected, when Wei Zhong said this, Wei Jin¡¯s face instantly turned pale. She looked at Wei Zhong hesitantly. ¡°I.¡±

    ¡°In half a month, the Wei family is going to hold a banquet for the guests.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked down and interrupted Wei Jin. ¡°Knowing that Cousin misses Mother, I¡¯ve already gotten someone to bring Cousin¡¯s mother over from Nanjiang City in advance. Second Uncle, youcan stay too. Wouldn¡¯t it be better for the three of you to reunite then?¡±

    ¡°What did you say?!¡± Wei Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief.

    <i>How was that possible? Third Brother and Fourth Brother all knew that Wei Jin¡¯s mother was the rope that pulled Wei Jin. How could they allow others to take Wei Jin¡¯s mother away??</i>

    ¡°Cousin, really?¡± Wei Jin¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°She should be in Beijing tonight.¡±

    ¡°Good, good, good.¡± Wei Zhong said three ¡®good¡¯s in a row. ¡°As expected of the good sessor chosen by Auntie. You¡¯re indeed capable.¡±

    Wei Zhong understood that the only leverage he had to restrain Wei Jin was gone. He hadpletely lost his wife and his troops bying here today.

    No matter what, he could not take Wei Jin away today. Wei Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan hatefully. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±

    With that, Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and left without looking at Wei Jin.

    Old Master Mu chuckled. ¡°Congrattions, Matriarch Wei.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Old Master, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Old Master Mu stroked his beard. ¡°Thank you for your help today. I¡¯ll bring my granddaughter-inw back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan nodded at Wei Jinfortingly. ¡°Go. Your mother will arrive in Beijing tonight.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Cousin.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s eyes were red.

    She knew how deep the Wei family¡¯s influence was in Nanjiang City. To be able to bring her mother out of the Wei family¡¯s old residence, Xia Wanyuan must have paid a considerable price. Furthermore, at this moment, the Wei family of Jiangnan and the Wei family of Beijing hadpletely fallen out. To Xia Wanyuan, it was a huge problem.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell what Wei Jin was thinking.

    However, to her,

    It was not a bad thing to break this stalemate.

    Only when there is destruction could there be formation.

    Since she had taken over the Wei family, she had to unite the already torn Wei family.

    The head of the Wei family should be the head of the entire Wei family.

    Old Master Mu left with Wei Jin. Old Madam Wei removed the burden on her and returned to the backyard with the butler¡¯s help with a tired expression.

    The hall was silent.

    Everyone waited silently. Xia Wanyuan did not speak and sat quietly on the high seat drinking tea. The entire hall had a strange atmosphere.

    ¡°I¡¯m tired. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Yu suddenly yawned and rolled her eyes at Xia Wanyuan. She stood up and walked out the door.

    <i>Tsk, it was just because she had married a good man. If not for the Jun family¡¯s support, how could Xia Wanyuan be the head of the Wei family??</i>

    ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m a little tired too. Let¡¯s go.¡± With someone taking the lead, the other juniors followed Wei Yu out.

    Although the elders did not move, they did not stop these juniors.

    ¡°Stop,¡± Xia Wanyuan said from the main seat.

 Chapter 990 - Itâ€™s Too Late Scare the Wei Family

    <h4>Chapter 990: It¡¯s Too Late Scare the Wei Family</h4>

    The juniors paused for a moment. Seeing that Wei Yu was still walking forward, everyone became bolder and followed.

    ¡°If you step out of this door today, you will never need to enter again.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, the others did not dare to continue walking.

    Wei Yu turned around and saw that herpanions, who usually scolded Xia Wanyuan with her, were all as timid as ostriches.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you make Grandma happy. Isn¡¯t it just because you have CEO Jun¡¯s love? If not for CEO Jun behind you, you would be nothing. Why are you so smug?!¡±

    Speaking of Jun Shiling, Wei Yu gritted her teeth in anger.

    Thest time Jun Shiling came to the Wei family to congratte Old Madam Wei, she fell in love with him at first sight.

    She had never seen such an imposing and charming man in her life. Only such a man was worthy of her, Wei Yu.

    However, she did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be Jun Shiling¡¯s wife.?<i>Why?</i>

    <i>We were clearly not much different in age. I, Wei Yu, was the direct descendant of Old Madam Wei, the noble second daughter of the Wei family. Now, Xia Wanyuan, an outsider, was going to ride on our heads.</i>

    The more Wei Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. ¡°You won¡¯t let me step into the Wei family? Who do you think you are?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yu walked out of the hall.

    Wei Xian felt that something was wrong, but it was toote to stop her.

    Everyone turned their gazes to Xia Wanyuan, only to see her slowly take a sip of tea before saying, ¡°Since Wei Yu doesn¡¯t want to be a member of the Wei family, she should be removed from the family tree and all her living allowance will be stopped.¡±

    ......

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, you!¡± Wei Xian stood up. Wei Yu was her daughter. Wasn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan pping her in the face?

    ¡°On the third of May.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Xian calmly and spat out a few words.

    With just seven words, Wei Xian¡¯s face turned pale as she looked at Xia Wanyuan in shock.?<i>How did she know??</i>

    ¡± Nanyang Fund, Yuanqiao shares, Jianghe Project¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan slowly read out more than ten inexplicable names.

    What was even more baffling was that every time she read one, someone in the hall would break out in cold sweat.

    In the end, the juniors in the hall looked at the elders¡¯ pale faces in confusion.

    At this moment, no one cared if Wei Yu could step into the Wei family in the future. What they cared about was¡­

    <i>Why did Xia Wanyuan know so much? How much did she know about the Wei family?</i>

    ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s meeting.¡± Looking at the time, Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Meeting adjourned.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan left, leaving an extremely silent hall. Everyone looked at each other.

    They had a feeling that their future days would not be easy.

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Rao felt that Bo Xiao had been a little strange recently.

    He always bought a lot of baby products, from the milk bottles and milk powder when he was born, to the clothes when he was one year old, the walker, and even the school bag when the child was in primary school. They were all stacked in an empty house.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, why are you buying these now?¡± An Rao pulled Bo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Can¡¯t you buy them after I give birth? If you buy them now, what if they don¡¯t fit?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s toote.¡± Bo Xiao pulled An Rao into his arms and touched her stomach.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s voice was soft and An Rao did not hear him clearly. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Bo Xiao hugged An Rao tightly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just rest well and remember that I love you the most.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, you definitely love me the most. Even if we have the baby in the future, you can only love me the most.¡± An Rao took half a step back with a smile, wanting to kiss Bo Xiao¡¯s face.

    However, what shocked her was that Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°Bo Xiao, what¡¯s wrong? Are you crying?¡±

    Bo Xiao hid the emotions in his eyes and smiled as he scratched An Rao¡¯s nose. ¡°Idiot, I¡¯m happy. I never thought that I would have a loving wife and a cute child. Our child must be as cute as Xiao Bao.¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Speaking of children, An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You must be a good father. I must be a good mother. Our child must be the cutest baby. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and kissed An Rao¡¯s forehead. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡±

 Chapter 991 - Adorable Man

    <h4>Chapter 991: Adorable Man</h4>

    Wei Zhong left the Wei family¡¯s courtyard. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

    He called the Wei family in Jiangnan. The old residence was also furious.

    ¡°Got it, Father. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll bring Wei Jin back. The Jun family and the Mu family made us suffer so much this time. I¡¯ll definitely make them pay the price.¡±

    After hanging up, Wei Zhong looked back at the Wei family¡¯s courtyard and a ruthless smile appeared on his face.

    Mu Feng¡¯s injuries had not recovered yet. Thest time he went to register his marriage with Wei Jin, he had a high fever and fell into aa.

    Wei Jin followed Old Master Mu to the hospital. After asking the attending doctor about Mu Feng¡¯s condition, Old Master¡¯s worried heart finally rxed.

    Old Master brought Wei Jin to the ward. In the corridor in front of the ward stood a wealthydy and a young woman with long hair.

    ¡°Father, why are you here?¡± The noblewoman smiled and weed him.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Old Master Mu replied calmly. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Father, what are you saying? I¡¯m also Mu Feng¡¯s mother. How can I note when my son is injured?¡± Tears welled up in the noblewoman¡¯s eyes. ¡°My poor son.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, who is thisdy?¡± The young woman beside the noblewoman asked curiously, but her eyes were clearly filled with hostility.

    ¡°Come, Ah Jin, let me introduce you. This is Mu Feng¡¯s stepmother and stepsister.¡± Old Master Mu introduced them to Wei Jin kindly.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Jin nodded slightly. She had heard Mu Feng mention it before, so she did not have a good impression of the two people in front of her.

    ......

    Sensing Wei Jin¡¯s cold attitude, anger shed across the noblewoman¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Girl,e back to the Mu family¡¯s residence with me. Anyway, you¡¯re a member of our Mu family. Stay in the Mu family. When Mu Feng wakes up, we¡¯ll hold your wedding.¡±

    The young woman¡¯s expression changed when Old Master Mu said that she was from the Mu family. ¡°Grandpa, what are you saying?! Brother Mu Feng, why¡­¡±

    Old Master Mu berated her. ¡°Shut up. Mu Feng is still inside.¡±

    As if unwilling to talk to her anymore, Old Master Mu looked at Wei Jin. ¡°Girl, let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, I want to apany Mu Feng here.¡± Wei Jin looked at the unconscious Mu Feng through the ss window of the ward with red eyes.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Old Master Mu was also an experienced person. He knew that Wei Jin was worried about Mu Feng, so he did not persuade her anymore. ¡°Then the two of you go back with me. Jin can take care of him here.¡±

    The young woman was indignant and wanted to say something, but the noblewoman gave her a look. She could only swallow her words and look at Wei Jin hatefully before leaving with Old Master Mu.

    In the manor.

    Jun Shiling had already returned from work. He sat on the sofa and waited for Xia Wanyuan. Not far away, Xia Yu and Xiao Bao quietly yed with toys with their backs facing Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I¡¯m so tired.¡± Xia Wanyuan stretched as soon as she entered. Before she could say anything else, Jun Shiling had already walked over and hugged her.

    Xia Yu turned around and asked Xiao Bao in a low voice, ¡°Hey, are your parents so clingy every day?¡±

    Xiao Bao seemed to be used to not even turning around. He waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss.¡±

    ¡°...¡­.¡±

    After dinner, Xia Yu suggested that he wanted to stay in the apartment.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no room here.¡± Xiao Bao liked to y with Xia Yu, so Xia Wanyuan still hoped that he could stay here.

    ¡°Sister, my apartment is close to where I work. Besides, if I miss Xiao Bao, I¡¯ll definitelye over.¡± Xia Yu smiled and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Alright, let me know if you need anything.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Sister.¡± Xia Yu secretly nced at Jun Shiling. Actually, the main reason was that he was under too much pressure living with Jun Shiling.

    Even though Jun Shiling was amiable in front of them, Xia Yu had heard too many legends about him in the army. No matter what, he could not face Jun Shiling normally.

    Before he left, Xiao Bao clung to Xia Yu¡¯s leg with tears in his eyes, not letting him leave. ¡°Uncle, sob, sob.¡±

    Xia Yu pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face in amusement. ¡°Uncle wille and y with you tomorrow afternoon. Don¡¯t cry, okay?¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, pinky swear.¡± Xiao Bao reached out to Xia Yu with snot and tears.

    Xia Yu smiled and agreed with Xiao Bao before leaving under Xiao Bao¡¯s reluctant gaze.

    Walking on the busy street, Xia Yu took a deep breath. Listening to themotion, he finally felt a little real.

    In the past few months, Xia Yu had been staying in the experimental base in the desert. Other than sand, there was only sand. Now that he saw so many people, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.

    Xia Yu bought a grilled squid at a roadside stall and hummed as he walked towards the apartment.

    The elevator door was about to close when the sound of high heels came from outside. Xia Yu hurriedly pressed the button to open the door.

    A figure in a white skirt suit walked in. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Xia Yu bit on a squid and said vaguely, ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±

    He pressed the button to close the door. Seeing that the woman beside him was standing still, he turned around. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    Xia Yu was stunned as he bit into a grilled squid.

    The woman beside him was very beautiful. Her short hair was stuck behind her ear, and her makeup was exquisite. She was very sharp and beautiful.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go up with you. Thank you.¡± Jiang Yun nodded slightly. Her long eyshes reflected a row of shadows under the light, inexplicably softening her strong aura.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Yu wanted to say that there was no need to thank him, but he forgot that the roasted squid was still in his mouth. He opened his mouth and the roasted squid fell on his shoes. The cumin powder and chili on the roasted squid fell.

    Xia Yu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, stood up, and secretly hid the squid behind him.

    He looked at Jiang Yun with red ears and saw a smile in her eyes. She looked like she was looking at a child, tolerant and kind.

    Not only were Xia Yu¡¯s ears red, but his face was also red.

    The elevator arrived with a ding.

    Jiang Yun walked out directly. Xia Yu walked out with a skewer of grilled squid in his hand.

    Jiang Yun entered the house. There were two missed calls on her phone. Jiang Yun called back.

    ¡°I was in the elevator just now and didn¡¯t get it. Why?¡±

    On the other end of the line, Jiang Kui seemed to be very angry. ¡°I told you to settle Jun Shiling, why didn¡¯t you do anything?¡±

    Jiang Yun frowned slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not that easy.¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s tone was even worse. ¡°The Wei family in Beijing has already been handed over to Xia Wanyuan. Even if you can¡¯t settle Jun Shiling, you have to think of a way to make the couple suspect each other. The Wei family and the Jun family are tied together. What should we do?¡±

    ¡°Got it. I¡¯m hanging up. I¡¯m tired.¡± Jiang Yun did not want to listen to Jiang Kui anymore. She turned off the phone and threw it aside.

    Jiang Yun leaned back on the sofa and felt a little tired.

    For some reason, she suddenly thought of the boy biting the squid in the elevator just now.

    <i>There were not only men as annoying as my brother in the world, but also cute men.</i>

 Chapter 992 - Plagiarism

    <h4>Chapter 992: giarism</h4>

    Next door, Xia Yu threw the grilled squid away after entering the house. Thinking of the embarrassing scene just now, Xia Yu silently covered his face.

    In the WeChat group of the Four Great Generals, Xia Yu, who had been silent for a long time, appeared.

    Xia Yu:?<i>Brothers,e out quickly. What do you think is the personality of a woman with short hair and a suit?</i>

    Yang Lin:?<i>Yo yo yo, Xia Yu, has romancee? Which girl? Do you have a photo for us??</i>

    Su Mei:?<i>Xia Yu, your taste is a little unique. I thought you liked soft girls, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so fierce. Listening to your description, I feel that this girl must be a ruthless person.?</i>

    Zhang Zhe:?<i>Is Xia Yu going to be taken? Let¡¯s not talk anymore. Congrattions. When are you going to treat us to a meal?</i>

    Xia Yu: ¡­

    He did not expect that after half a year, his roommates were still as unreliable as ever.

    After Zou Man joined Camellia, the few fashion shows she organized were very popr. With Camellia and the Jiang family helping to encourage the situation,

    over the past few days, Zou Man had been in the limelight.

    Zou Man¡¯s studio intended to make her a celebrity designer in China, so they used all sorts of methods to attract fans for her. Now, Zou Man¡¯s fans had far surpassed some ordinary celebrities and she was very popr on the Inte.

    It was almost spring, and the new spring outfits designed by Zou Man were popr.

    At this moment, Xiu Yi had also begun the production and sales of spring fashion.

    Xiu Yi¡¯s factory was set up in Jiangnan. There, Xiu Yi owned several huge embroidery industry bases. Every time Xiu Yi¡¯s headquarters distributed the design to the factory, the factory would begin physical processing. After the factory made the clothes, Xiu Yi¡¯s physical and online gship store would sell them.

    It was the same process this time, but when the clothes were ced on the shelves, there was a problem.

    This was because there was an additional design that the main store did not distribute.

    The staff hurriedly reported. The main shop had just begun to investigate what went wrong.

    Someone had already told them the answer on Weibo.

    @ Zou Man Studio: ¡°We received a report that a fashion brand stole Zou Man¡¯s design idea. We have already taken legal measures to defend our rights. Please @ Xiu Yi Company stop the infringement immediately.¡±

    The apanying picture was a design blueprint for Zou Man¡¯s early participation in thepetition. Beside it was a detailed picture of Xiu Yi¡¯s new clothes. Although the style of the clothes was different, on the pattern, folds, and colors, it was obvious that the two pictures were simr.

    [Erm, isn¡¯t this Zou Man¡¯s work when she was very young? It¡¯s been a long time.]

    [Even if I don¡¯t know fashion design, I can tell that Xiu Yi copied Zou Man¡¯s design. It¡¯s too low-ss.]

    [Hahaha, I knew it. Can¡¯t she just be the wife of the richest man? Why must she sell the character of a genius designer? She screwed up now. Hurry up and look for her. Maybe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s other works are also giarized by others. She doesn¡¯t even let go of children¡¯s designs. Crazy.]

    In the fashion design industry, Zou Man had been famous for a long time and was too dazzling. With such evidence, everyone naturally believed that Xia Wanyuan had giarized Zou Man¡¯s design.

    Xiu Yi immediately removed the rted products, but it still could not stop theizens¡¯ badments.

    Originally, Camellia¡¯s business was bleak because of Xiu Yi¡¯s rise. Now, Xiu Yi¡¯s reputation quickly fell, and Camellia made a lot of money.

    ¡°Baby, your idea is really good.¡± Jiang Kui hugged Zou Man and kissed her moist red lips.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Zou Man punched Jiang Kui¡¯s chest. ¡°You didn¡¯t look for me for so long. You forgot about me now that you have a fianc¨¦e.¡±

    ¡°What fianc¨¦e?¡± At the mention of Wei Jin, Jiang Kui was angry. ¡°Is that woman worthy? I don¡¯t want broken shoes that others have worn.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s words, Zou Man¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°In that case, you don¡¯t have to marry Wei Jin?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jiang Kui stroked Zou Man¡¯s waist. ¡°Are you happy?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m happy.¡± Zou Man hugged Jiang Kui¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Then, when are you going to marry me?¡±

    When Zou Man said this, Jiang Kui¡¯s hand paused. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Didn¡¯t you use my money casually? What perfume did you use today that smells so good?¡±

    Knowing that Jiang Kui was changing the topic, Zou Man could only smile and agree.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, she came from a rich family, but only those who had truly stepped into the circle of nobles knew.

    Their family was at most a little rich. In front of rich families like the Jiang family and the Jun family, they were worlds apart.

    Zou Man had finally gotten together with Jiang Kui. She knew very well that Jiang Kui had never thought of marrying her. Jiang Kui wanted to marry a woman who could help him consolidate his status.

    Initially, she felt that it was eptable to be a mistress, but when she saw Xia Wanyuan, a woman like Xia Wanyuan could be the mistress of the Jun Corporation, why couldn¡¯t she, Zou Man, do the same?

    As Zou Man weed Jiang Kui¡¯s kiss, she wondered how she could sessfully make Jiang Kui publicize her.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, what mission is so urgent?¡± An Rao sat on the sofa dejectedly. She was a little unhappy. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you would always apany me?¡±

    ]¡±I¡¯ll be back in two days.¡± Bo Xiao pinched An Rao¡¯s face. ¡°Go and stay in the manor for the next two days. I¡¯m worried about you being here alone. I¡¯ll pick you up when I¡¯m back.¡±

    ¡°Then.¡± An Rao leaned into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°We agreed on two days. You¡¯re not allowed to bete.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Afterforting An Rao, Bo Xiao sent her to the manor but did not go in himself. He drove straight to the airport.

    In the car, Yu Qian called.

    ¡°The chicken soup yesterday was not bad, right?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s cold voice came.

    Bo Xiao mmed on the brakes.?<i>How did he know? There are surveince cameras in the house? No way, I¡¯ve already checked once.</i>

    ¡°Are you curious how I know?¡± Yu Qianughed emotionlessly. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be curious. You just need to know that you don¡¯t have to y any tricks with me. This time, send me the location of the base of the Southwest Military Region. Otherwise, you can try and see what the consequences are.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Bo Xiao gritted his teeth, his eyes red. However, he had no choice.

    In the Jun Corporation¡¯s office, Jun Shiling was handling documents when his phone rang.

    ¡°Reporting, he has already left Beijing and is currently on a ne to the southwest. He received a short call on the way. We did not intercept the phone recording or find the location of the number.¡±

    <i>Southwest?</i>?Jun Shiling thought for a moment. ¡°Continue to watch in the dark. Don¡¯t let him discover you.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The office fell silent again.

    There was clearly a thick stack of documents on the table, but Jun Shiling did not continue flipping through them. He frowned slightly and looked at the snowkes flying outside the window.

    <i>Bo Xiao, I hope you don¡¯t let me down.?</i>

 Chapter 993 - The Female CEO and Her Little Friend

    <h4>Chapter 993: The Female CEO and Her Little Friend</h4>

    Xiu Yi quickly received awsuit from Zou Man Studio. During this period of time, there had been overwhelming publicity about Zou Man¡¯s genius designer title, making everyone believe that she had been giarized.

    Many fans were unwilling to believe that Xia Wanyuan had giarized Zou Man¡¯s design. However, the negativements and all sorts of mockingments agitated the fans.

    [Our Yuan Yuan might not have done it on purpose. She didn¡¯te from primary school. She might have thought that she could use it. She doesn¡¯t know that that was Zou Man¡¯s design.]

    [The person in front, are you a hater or a fan? You can infringe on the rights just by saying you don¡¯t know? She even participated in the international designpetition? What a joke.]

    [You copied our Manman¡¯s design and still have the cheek to participate in the international designpetition. How embarrassing.]

    Zou Man¡¯s fans had an inexplicable hostility towards Xia Wanyuan. They seized the opportunity to publicize this matter and stepped on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity. Zou Man¡¯s poprity increased again.

    ¡°CEO Xia, I¡¯m really sorry. The employee made a mistake when passing the design n and sent the design n that didn¡¯t belong to the production range to the Jiangnan embroidery workshop.¡± After what happened, Qin Shuang quickly found out the reason.

    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Xia Wanyuan appeared very calm.

    A tall tree attracted the wind. If she was in the limelight, she would naturally attract many brats. Even if there were no problems with the design, there would be problems elsewhere.

    ¡°Then, CEO Xia, what do you think of this?¡± Qin Shuang was about to die of anxiety. She was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be disappointed in her because of this.

    ¡°Make a statement as usual on the surface and secretly investigate the employees and various segments involved. There¡¯s a mole in this matter. Catch him and don¡¯t alert the enemy,¡± Xia Wanyuan instructed Qin Shuang as she wrote her thesis.

    ¡°Yes, CEO Xia.¡±

    After ending the call with Qin Shuang, Xia Wanyuan buried her head in herputer for a long time. Finally, she reviewed all the papers before dark.

    After confirming that there was no mistake, Xia Wanyuan pressed the send button.

    Xia Wanyuan was free, but the others were busy.

    That day, several top journals in China received dozens of high-quality papers, causing a sensation in the academic circle.

    Xia Yu arrived as promised and was ying games with Xiao Bao in the living room.

    ¡°Uncle, when will I have an aunt?¡± Xiao Bao hung on Xia Yu¡¯s back and asked curiously.

    Xia Yu¡¯s ears turned red. ¡°Why? Isn¡¯t Uncle enough to y with you?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Xiao Bao slid down from Xia Yu¡¯s back and looked at him with his big eyes. ¡°If I have an aunt, you can give birth to a sister for me. That way, I will have someone to y with.¡±

    Xia Yu picked Xiao Bao up. ¡°Aunt will be a long timeter.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, Uncle, you¡¯re too disappointing.¡± Xiao Bao looked earnest. ¡°You have to work hard.¡±

    Xia Yu was amused by Xiao Bao¡¯s adult look. ¡°You¡¯re so weird.¡±

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xiao Bao reached out and patted Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Uncle, work hard.¡±

    After dinner, Xia Yu did not return to the apartment immediately after leaving the manor. It had been too long since he had been to the downtown district. He really missed the entertainment life in the city.

    Seeing the name of the Inte cafe with the lights shing beside it, Xia Yu called out to the few people in his dormitory. The four of them yed games in the Inte cafe untilte at night.

    In the past few months, he had been through bullets and all sorts of training grounds that ordinary people could not imagine.

    At this moment, he was sitting in afortable seat in the Inte cafe with his energetic and youthful roommates beside him. In front of him was his favorite game. Xia Yu suddenly felt that time had begun to flow backward in his body. The mortal world finally reminded him that he was still that young and energetic boy.

    They yed games untilte at night. Xia Yu and his roommates ate crayfish and drank wine at the roadside stall, exchanging their experiences during this period of time.

    After eating and drinking, the other three roommates were busy rushing back to school. After all, they still had sses tomorrow morning.

    Xia Yu walked towards the apartment in a daze. He had drunk too much wine and was drunk.

    Just as he was about to take a taxi back, Xia Yu saw from the corner of his eye that on the street not far away, two sneaky people were squatting beside a luxury car.

    From their gestures, it looked like they were plotting a robbery.

    Xia Yu suppressed his drunkenness and quietly inched over to that side.

    In front of the cashier, Jiang Yun was holding a pack of Band-Aids. As she paid, she took out one and pasted it on the back of her left hand.

    The matters in the country were even busier than she had imagined. They had meetings almost the entire day. It was only when she drove home that she suddenly remembered the small wound she had made in the morning.

    Seeing that there was a convenience store by the roadside, Jiang Yun stopped the car and bought a box of Band-Aids.

    After leaving the shop, Jiang Yun had just approached her car when she sensed that something was wrong.

    As expected, in the next second, two people suddenly rushed out from behind the car with knives in their hands. They were staring fiercely at the bag in Jiang Yun¡¯s hand. Jiang Yun reacted and hurriedly ran into the shop, followed by the people behind her.

    She felt a cold breeze brush past her ear, but the expected pain did notnd on her. Someone wailed behind her. Jiang Yun turned around and met a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars with the vigor of a youth.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡­¡± Xia Yu kicked them to the ground and stepped on them as he turned tofort this passerby. Then, he saw the woman he had seen in the elevator yesterday.

    Jiang Yun was still dressed in business today. She was wearing a neat and slim white suit and a ck coat. Her exquisite facial features were domineering.

    ¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Jiang Yun smiled. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Xia Yu scratched his head in embarrassment after being blinded by Jiang Yun¡¯s smile.

    ¡°Where are you going? Are you going home? I¡¯ll send you back.¡± After handing the two robbers to the patrolling police, Jiang Yun looked at Xia Yu, who had his head lowered.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Yu quickly looked up at Jiang Yun, then lowered his head, his ears turning red.

    Under the light of the streetmp, Jiang Yun saw Xia Yu¡¯s red ears and found it funny.

    She was the daughter of the Jiang family and CEO Jiang of the business world. Naturally, many people chased after her.

    But this was the first time she had seen such a shy youth.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jiang Yun walked into the car, and Xia Yu sat in the front passenger seat.

    They were silent the entire way. Xia Yu wanted to find a topic, but in the end, he could not think of anything fun.

    Xia Yu thanked Jiang Yun with a red face and quickly returned to his house.

    Jiang Yun watched him escape from behind and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

    ¡°A little kid.¡±

    However, little kids had their good points too. They were not as tactful as those in the world. Some of them had the clean aura of youth that had disappeared from her.

    It was not annoying.

 Chapter 994 - The Princess Returns to Qing University

    <h4>Chapter 994: The Princess Returns to Qing University</h4>

    Principal Yang had just opened his eyes in the morning when he realized that there were more than ten missed calls on his phone.

    What leaders feared the most was such a situation. Usually, consecutive calls were basically big matters. In addition, it was a series of calls in the middle of the night. Principal Yang was immediately awake.

    ¡°There are only a few years left until retirement. You have to steady yourself,¡± Principal Yang muttered as he called back.

    After returning all the calls, Principal Yang sat on the bed and smiled until the wrinkles on his face ttened.

    ¡°Aiyaya, this Xia Wanyuan is really a god.¡± Principal Yang turned off his phone and got out of bed. ¡°Old woman, I¡¯m not eating breakfast anymore. I¡¯m going to school to work.¡±

    Principal Yang found Xia Wanyuan, who was preparing for ss, when he arrived at school. ¡°Teacher Xia, how many papers did you submit?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. ¡°More than thirty.¡±

    ¡°More than thirty?!¡± Principal Yang had an academic background when he was young. He knew that one thesis was enough tost him for a few years. These thirty plus papers were too exaggerated. ¡°It¡¯s too hard on you, Teacher Xia.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan had studied the thesis research direction in her previous life.

    Due to theck of all sorts of ancient books in the future and the passage of time, there were many research gaps.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had read hundreds of poems and books. The world¡¯s famous schrs did not adhere to modern rigid thinking when teaching. Xia Wanyuan was influenced by them and naturally had her own unique understanding of many problems.

    Hence, there was no need to polish a thesis for several years like others. To Xia Wanyuan, she could settle the content in one go.

    In Principal Yang¡¯s opinion, he only felt that Xia Wanyuan was being humble. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you.¡±

    ......

    Principal Yang imagined countless scenes of Xia Wanyuan working hard on her thesis. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan was extremely loving. ¡°I¡¯ll give you more subsidies.¡±

    ¡°Alright, thank you, Principal.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and epted Principal Yang¡¯s kindness. No matter how she exined, Principal Yang felt that she was being modest, so Xia Wanyuan decided not to say anything.

    ¡°A lot of people called me this morning and said that they had recorded your thesis. Arge group of people studied it overnight. They were shocked.¡± Speaking of this, Principal Yang was even happier. ¡°Our Qing University is good at science and engineering and has always been mocked by Nancheng University in the humanities. Now, you¡¯re suppressing them alone.¡±

    The more Principal Yang thought about it, the happier he became. He hummed happily. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get busy first. Teach well.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Principal.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at the principal and watched him leave with light steps.

    Since such a big thing had happened in the academic circle in Beijing, Nancheng University naturally received the news.

    ¡°What should we do? Didn¡¯t you say that Xia Wanyuan is someone who fish for fame? Then why was her thesis included in the core journal?¡± The admissions office of Nancheng University was filled with people.

    Nancheng University and Qing University were the top universities in China. Usually, the two families would fight for good students.

    Last year, because of Xia Wanyuan, the recruitment situation of Nancheng University was not ideal. If Xia Wanyuan sessfully became famous and returned to Qing University to teach literature, their admissions office would be collectively fired this year.

    ¡°Director Shang.¡± Someone finally spoke in the quiet office. ¡°I have an idea. Let¡¯s go to your office and talk in detail.¡±

    Half an hourter, Director Shang finally walked out of the office with his people and whispered to the person beside him, ¡°I have to ask the school leader about this. Go and move around first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Go on.¡±

    That afternoon, Xia Wanyuan received an invitation from Nancheng University. Nancheng University offered an extremely high price to invite Xia Wanyuan to be their literature teacher.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and rejected them.

    Receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rejection, Director Shang made up his mind and called Teacher Cheng, who was already heading to Beijing. ¡°Go and look for Chief Editor Liu. If this matter is done, I¡¯ll give you a raise next year.¡±

    After hanging up, Director Shang was a little flustered. However, looking at the enrollment index in his hand, he had no choice.

    He also knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband was the head of the Jun Corporation, but if he could notplete the quota in his hand, he would lose his reputation as the director who had worked hard for half his life.

    He could only hope that he could get through this without being discovered.

    Principal Yang had asked the school to prepare the contract to hire Xia Wanyuan to return to Qing University for a long time. That day, Xia Wanyuan signed the contract.

    At night, the official Weibo ount of Qing University announced this good news to the public.

 Chapter 995 - Want a Daughter

    <h4>Chapter 995: Want a Daughter</h4>

    The publication of journals required a fixed date. Usually, it would take a month or two before it could be announced to the public. Principal Yang could not wait that long. Anyway, the chief editors of those journals had already told him that there was no problem. Principal Yang let Xia Wanyuan sign the contract.

    This also led to some people congratting Qing University¡¯s Weibo post and others questioning Xia Wanyuan¡¯s qualifications.

    [I¡¯m so happy to hear Professor Xia¡¯s lecture again.]

    [ Eh, it was so noisy a while ago. Isn¡¯t it because Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have the qualifications? It¡¯s only been a few months, how can she go back to teaching? Just because she¡¯s Mrs. Jun now? ]

    [ The person in front, is there a point in talking about Jun Shiling for no reason? Even without CEO Jun, Xia Wanyuan is still a very outstanding person. Go to the Qing University campus and ask. Who doesn¡¯t like to listen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses? Her ability is obvious. ]

    Theizens discussed spiritedly, but Qing University remained unmoved.

    Principal Yang brewed a cup of tea and took a sip with a smile. ¡°Let them talk. Anyway, when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s journal is published, it will be a p to their faces. Sigh, look, there¡¯s such a powerful teacher in the school. As a leader, I don¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    The assistant nodded repeatedly.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, An Rao was leaning on the sofa with her stomach raised. She frowned and looked very unhappy. ¡°Yuan Yuan, do you think Bo Xiao really went to the southwest for a mission?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked curiously at An Rao¡¯s stomach. It had only been a while since theyst met, but it looked a little bigger.

    ¡°He can clearly get through to my phone, but he always doesn¡¯t answer my calls and even says that he¡¯s very busy.¡± Pregnant women were already unstable. As An Rao spoke, she became aggrieved. ¡°Could Bo Xiao have gone to meet a wild woman in private?¡±

    ......

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and handed An Rao a sour plum. ¡°Stop thinking nonsense. Bo Xiao is not that kind of person.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, that might not be the case. Men are the most fickle. The passionate period is one thing, and after the passionate period is another.¡± An Rao snorted and ate a sour plum. ¡°Sister, this plum isn¡¯t sour enough. It doesn¡¯t taste much.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan picked one up and tasted it. She immediately gasped and drank an entire ss of water to barely suppress the sour taste in her mouth. ¡°I think Xiao Bao¡¯s wish to have a sister has failed.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t count on me. Work hard with CEO Jun.¡± An Rao smiled and winked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Give birth to a daughter like you. She¡¯ll definitely be beautiful and cute.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan imagined her and Jun Shiling¡¯s daughter and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She was definitely a little princess who would be doted on by Jun Shiling.

    An Rao had been living in the manor recently. She needed to rest now and went to bed early. Xia Wanyuan sat in the living room and waited for Jun Shiling toe home.

    During this period of time, Jun Shiling was very busy. It was the beginning of the new year, and all kinds of work needed to be arranged. When Jun Shiling arrived home, it was already past ten in the evening.

    He walked into the house. Xia Wanyuan was reading under a nket. Seeing him return, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up and she reached out to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°You waited for a long time, right?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up, slowly walking upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°I miss you.¡±

    Although she was very busy, as long as she had a little time to spare, she would think of Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling paused and looked down at Xia Wanyuan. After showering, there was a faint fragrance on her that made one¡¯s heart flutter. ¡°You know I have no resistance, yet you still attract me every day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled until her dimples appeared. ¡°CEO Jun, do you want a daughter?¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks. ¡°Daughter?¡±

    Jun Shiling imagined it. It should be a little angel with big eyes and exquisite facial features like Xia Wanyuan. She was small and soft, the kind that he could hold with one hand. Just thinking about it made his heart melt.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, her eyes shining. ¡°She must be as cute as me.¡±

    A smile appeared on Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Mm, as cute as you.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan into the bedroom.

 Chapter 996 - Give Birth to a Daughter! Give Birth to a Daughter!

    <h4>Chapter 996: Give Birth to a Daughter! Give Birth to a Daughter!</h4>

    Pushing open the bedroom door and seeing the roses on the bed, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes burned with fire. He looked down at the equally shocked Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You came prepared?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan covered her face. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me.¡±

    Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Then, he held her waist with one hand and locked the door with the other.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t showered yet.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. Her legs were wrapped around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. The two of them were too close, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face slowly began to turn red.

    ¡°Let¡¯s shower together.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was deep as he carried Xia Wanyuan into the bathroom.

    Jun Shiling was especially nasty today. He kept holding Xia Wanyuan in his arms and did not let her get off the ground.

    Because of the special atmosphere tonight, Jun Shiling was even more excited than usual. Xia Wanyuan only woke up at noon the next day.

    Support our

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± An Rao looked mischievously at Xia Wanyuan, who was walking downstairs. ¡°Sister, the battle is intense.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were a little red. ¡°I asked Uncle Wang not to prepare sour plums for you in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t.¡± An Rao grinned. ¡°Sister, where are you going in the afternoon? Bring me along. I¡¯m so bored.¡±

    An Rao was someone who could not stay idle. After she got pregnant, she could not go anywhere. She was almost bored to death staying at home every day.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the production team. The opening ceremony is today. Come with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up. She had not been to the production team in a long time. Even if she could not film, it was good to watch others film.

    ......

    Hence, after lunch, An Rao carried an entire bag of sour plums and green apricots and followed Xia Wanyuan to the set.

    This time, when Xia Wanyuan went to the production team, she received smiles everywhere.

    After all, this movie waspletely invested by the Jun Corporation. It did not care about the cost and was built with a lot of money. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jun Shiling had spent money to customize it for Xia Wanyuan. No one dared to be disrespectful to her.

    The opening ceremony began. Xia Wanyuan and the rest of the production team paid their respects to Guan Yu and took a set of publicity photos.

    The Jun Corporation¡¯s filmpany had always kept secrets well. It was only when the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo posted news about the movie that everyone knew.

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°The ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ created by the Jun Corporation¡¯s filmpany has sessfully started the opening ceremony this afternoon.¡±

    The apanying photo was an incense photo of the production team. The person in the middle was Xia Wanyuan.

    [Before I saw the photo, I was still wondering why the coldest official Weibo in history was promoting a movie. When I looked at the photo again, I understood. They were promoting thedy boss.]

    [ Ahhh, Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful. I love her. ]

    [Am I the only one with sharp eyes who noticed the pregnant woman in the corner of the photo? Don¡¯t you think she looks a little like An Rao?]

    With theizens¡¯ hint, the others also paid attention to the person in the corner.

    [How is this simr? This is An Rao!! No wonder An Rao hasn¡¯t appeared for so long. Her stomach is so big!]

    [She¡¯s so cute when she¡¯s eating snacks there. Ahahaha, I can¡¯t wait for them to have a child. She can marry Xiao Bao.]

    In a dark house in Nanjiang City, the light in her hand flickered and reflected on An Lin¡¯s face, looking quite terrifying.

    Seeing An Rao lyingfortably on the chair with a happy expression, An Lin¡¯s eyes turned red. Her hands trembled as she searched for the word ¡°An Rao¡± on Weibo.

    In the photos she found about An Rao, she and Bo Xiao held hands and went to the supermarket. She had dinner with Bo Xiao, and Bo Xiao looked at her with love and indulgence.

    An Lin almost crushed her phone. ¡°Why are you so much happier than me?¡±

    Ever since she returned from Beijing, she had clearly sensed Father An¡¯s disdain. Fortunately, Mother An had doted on her for so many years. Even though her thoughts were not pure, the feelings were still there, but she was much colder than before.

    She wanted to have an abortion, but she was rejected by the doctor. Her physique was special, and once she had an abortion, her life might be in danger. Hence, she could only have nightmares day and night with this disgusting thing in her stomach.

    The more she looked at An Rao¡¯s smile, the more the hatred in An Lin¡¯s heart soared. An Lin sat in the house for a long time, and slowly, the crazy light in her eyes flourished.

    The sky gradually darkened, and the filming stopped.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get off work.¡± The moment the director said this, cheers sounded.

    The production team had never said anything about getting off work on time. After all, it was normal to film until three or four in the morning.

    However, this time, everyone really enjoyed getting off work at six o¡¯clock sharp. After all, no one dared to let Mrs. Jun work overtime.

    ¡°Sister, what are we eating tonight? I¡¯m so hungry.¡± An Rao waited for Xia Wanyuan to change into her costume and followed her to hold her arm.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao¡¯s empty bag. When she first arrived in the afternoon, it was filled with snacks. ¡°Are you so hungry when you¡¯re pregnant?¡±

    An Rao rubbed against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Sister, okay? Hurry up. I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go back to the manor early.¡±

    However, when she returned home, An Rao could not eat as she wished. An uninvited guest arrived at the entrance of the manor.

    ¡°Second Uncle, what are you doing here?¡± An Rao rolled down the window and looked at the middle-aged man standing outside.

    ¡°Xiao Rao, no matter how wrong your parents are, at least they gave birth to you. Your mother is already so sick, but you don¡¯t answer their calls. You don¡¯t look like a child.¡±

 Chapter 997 - Bo Xiao Was Caught

    <h4>Chapter 997: Bo Xiao Was Caught</h4>

    ¡°Sick? What illness?¡± An Rao was a little puzzled.?<i>Mother An had always paid attention to her health. Why was she sick??</i>

    ¡°Sigh, your mother had a physical examination this year and was diagnosed with a terminal illness. This is a letter from your mother. Take it and read it. Whether you go back to see her or not is up to you. Anyway, I¡¯ve brought my words.¡± The middle-aged man sighed and looked at An Rao helplessly before turning to leave.

    Over the years, Father An and Mother An had already broken An Rao¡¯s heart. However, when she suddenly heard that Mother An had an incurable illness, An Rao still felt inexplicably sad. She opened the letter and saw that it was Mother An¡¯s heartfelt words.

    When one was on the verge of death, they would always start to look back on everything in their life. Mother An had been self-reliant her entire life. Only when she was about to die did she realize that she had abandoned her biological daughter in her life and treated someone else¡¯s daughter with all her heart, only to end up like this.

    The apology that An Rao had waited for more than twenty years had finally arrived, but it was already toote for her.

    An Rao held the letter and cried silently. These tears were for the neglected and abandoned An Rao from more than twenty years ago.

    An Rao had been crying, and Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She drove the car into the manor and waited for An Rao to calm down before entering the house with her.

    Xiao Bao had already returned home from school and was sitting quietly at the table writing. Seeing An Rao¡¯s swollen eyes from crying, Xiao Bao carefully leaned forward to chat with An Rao and make her happy.

    ¡°Auntie An Rao, I heard my sister speak.¡± Xiao Bao leaned over andy on An Rao¡¯sp. He stared at her with his big eyes and reached out to wipe her tears.

    ¡°Really? What did Sister say to you?¡± An Rao wiped her tears and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head.

    Xiao Bao carefully approached An Rao¡¯s stomach and listened carefully for a while. ¡°Sister said, Mommy, don¡¯t cry. Mommy, you¡¯re the most beautiful little fairy in the world. Little fairy doesn¡¯t look good when she cries.¡±

    An Rao was amused by the little darling¡¯s words. ¡°Little cutie.¡±

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xiao Bao sat beside An Rao. ¡°Auntie, I¡¯ll sing for you.¡±

    ......

    Xiao Bao¡¯s childish voice made the atmosphere in the house happy. An Rao giggled.

    Xiao Bao secretly winked at Xia Wanyuan, clearly asking for credit. ¡°Mommy, am I amazing?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and gave Xiao Bao a thumbs up.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, Yu Qian sat in front of the electronic disy and perfected the map step by step ording to the information Bo Xiao sent back.

    However, he did notpletely trust Bo Xiao. On the screen, not only was there the map Bo Xiao had sent back, but there were also several pieces of information that others had probed back. Yu Qianpared them and confirmed the authenticity of the map.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Looking at the finally formed map in his hand, the corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up.

    Afterpleting all the missions assigned by Yu Qian, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes turned red when he thought of An Rao in Beijing. He only wanted to rush back to Beijing without stopping.

    However, just as he pushed open the hotel door, the room was filled with people waiting for him to walk into the trap.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, why are you like this?¡± Many of the people in the house were Bo Xiao¡¯s former friends.

    At this moment, everyone¡¯s enemy was Bo Xiao.

    ¡°I have nothing to say.¡± Bo Xiao took off his hat and ced it aside.

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Bo Xiao took off his coat and carefully put it away. Then, he looked at his former brothers. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    <h4>??</h4>

    Jun Shiling learned of this news on the way back.

    ¡°Sir, what do you think we should do about this?¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment before finally saying, ¡°Bring him to the seventh prison and watch him closely. I¡¯ll interrogate him myself.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The phone had been hung up at some point. There was clearly arge pile of documents in front of him that he had not read, but Jun Shiling was no longer in the mood to read them. Looking at the tall buildings that flew past outside the window, Jun Shiling sighed.

    ¡°Stay outside for a while more and go back at ten,¡± Jun Shiling told the chauffeur and sent Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message.

    At ten o¡¯clock, An Rao had already gone to bed early.

    Jun Shiling returned home and washed up briefly before entering the bedroom.

    Xia Wanyuan was not asleep yet. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, Xia Wanyuan pulled the nket away. ¡°Come quickly. I¡¯m so cold.¡±

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan, took the book from her hand, and carried her into the nket.

    Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed that something was wrong with Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jun Shiling rested his chin on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and rubbed against him. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a story and coax you to sleep.¡± In the past, Jun Shiling had always coaxed her. Now that Jun Shiling was in a bad mood, Xia Wanyuan naturally wanted to make him happy.

    With that, Xia Wanyuan began to tell Jun Shiling stories. After about half an hour, Jun Shiling suddenly hugged her tightly. ¡°Thank you, baby. Sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kissed Jun Shiling on the chin. ¡°Mm, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    In Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep, but Jun Shiling did not sleep the entire night.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jun Corporation had spent a huge sum of money to tailor a movie for Xia Wanyuan. The poprity of this matter on the Inte had not dissipated.

    On the surface, no one dared to speak up publicly, but behind her back, arge number of people in the entertainment industry were jealous of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s treatment.

    [ Tsk tsk, it¡¯s good to marry the right person. Other celebrities might not even be the main character after more than ten years of hard work. When ites to Xia Wanyuan, it¡¯s good to throw money at her to act. It¡¯s good to be rich. ]

    [ If the person in front is blind, he can donate the eyes to someone who needs it. Xia Wanyuan is the winner of the Prynne Award. Her acting skills are obvious. So what if CEO Jun spends money? You make it sound as if Xia Wanyuan is only relying on money. She¡¯s also very capable, okay? ]

    [A television drama is different from a movie. How many television dramas copse on the big screen when they leave? Haven¡¯t we been cheated enough?]

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi, Zou Man was wearing a bright red nightgown. She was sitting on Jiang Kui¡¯sp. ¡°Hubby ~¡±

    ¡°Aiyo, what¡¯s wrong with your little heart?¡± Jiang Kui stroked Zou¡¯s smooth leg and narrowed his eyes.

    ¡°Have you settled the judges? Thepetition is about to begin. If Xia Wanyuan wins the championship, what do you want me to do?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Jiang Kui lowered his head and bit Zou Man¡¯s lip. ¡°Xia Wanyuan has offended too many people. There¡¯s no need for me to do anything. Someone has already informed the royal family of Continent O. It¡¯s impossible for the championship to be given to her.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s guarantee, Zou Man finally rxed and focused on saying, ¡°Aiya, your bite is so itchy ~¡±

    ¡°Oh? Really? Where does it itch?¡± Jiang Kui picked Zou Man up and walked upstairs.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The morning sun rose. The weather was especially good that day. The sun was warm, and the clouds were blue.

    Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to Qing University and instructed the chauffeur to head to the seventh prison.

    The seventh prison was a hidden organization that was not open to the public. The people imprisoned here were all people who were involved in confidential matters.

    Passing through the long aisle, Jun Shiling stood in front of the innermost cell.

    After a while, he reached out and pushed open the door.

    Inside, Bo Xiao was leaning back in his chair. Just like countless times in the past, he was casual and unrestrained.

    Hearing the noise, Bo Xiao opened his eyes and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±

    ¡°Have you sent the thing out?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao solemnly.

    ¡°Yes, I did.¡± Bo Xiao nodded. ¡°Imitted a crime that is enough to be executed. I know.¡±

    The Southwest Military Region was the barrier behind China. Bo Xiao¡¯s message was not only a map, but also the safety of more than a billion Chinese people.

    Jun Shiling took a step forward and kicked Bo Xiao to the ground.

    Jun Shiling had used a lot of strength in this kick. Bo Xiao felt the stench in his mouth and his internal organs hurt as if they had been shattered. He got up from the ground. ¡°You should kick.¡±

    Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. ¡°I can¡¯t save you.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± Bo Xiao wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. ¡°You don¡¯t have to save me. I deserve it.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 999: Princess¡¯s Costume Shocks the Inte</h4>

    The sunlight outside was warm, but it could not shine into this deep room. Light shone in from the high window.

    Jun Shiling stood still. Bo Xiao sat on the ground with blood at the corners of his lips. Simrly, he did not speak.

    ¡°Have you thought about An Rao?¡± After a while, Jun Shiling spoke again.

    Bo Xiao, who was on the ground, was instantly stunned. His fox-like eyes, which were always smiling, had lost their light. Bo Xiao lowered his head. ¡°I let her down, and I let you down.¡±

    As Bo Xiao spoke, his fingers gripped the ground tightly, leaving a white mark on the cement floor.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were deep as he looked at Bo Xiao quietly. ¡°You really disappointed me.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression. However, the dispirited and painful aura around him could not be ignored.

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Jun Shiling seemed to be unable to stay in this room anymore and turned to leave.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Bo Xiao stopped Jun Shiling. ¡°Can you help me hide it from An Rao? At least tell her after she gives birth.¡± As he spoke, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes turned red.

    Jun Shiling did not speak. He paused for a moment before leaving.

    Jun Shiling had just left the seventh prison when the prison fell into chaos.

    Because Jun Shiling had kicked too hard, Bo Xiao was seriously injured and sent to the hospital for treatment.

    The manor.

    An Rao hugged a sour plum jar and frowned. ¡°Sister, Bo Xiao hasn¡¯t called me for a few days.¡±

    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s busy.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands did not stop moving. As she drew, sheforted An Rao.

    ¡°But I miss him.¡± Pregnant women were extremely sensitive. An Rao¡¯s nose turned sour and her eyes turned red.

    <i>The dog man said that he wanted to apany me until the child was born, but in the end, he disappeared again.?</i>

    Helpless, Xia Wanyuan could only let Mother Li go upstairs and pull Xiao Bao down from his homework.

    ¡°y with your Auntie An Rao.¡±

    Xiao Bao: ¡°Okay!¡±

    ¡°Auntie An Rao, fairies can¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll sing for you!¡±

    An Rao was amused by Xiao Bao and began to y with Xiao Bao happily.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to continue painting when she received a message from Jun Shiling. He was noting back for dinner tonight.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that something was wrong and replied, ¡°Okay.¡±

    When it was time for dinner, An Rao and Xiao Bao were at home. Xia Wanyuan personally made a few dishes to send to Jun Shiling.

    When she pushed open the office door, Jun Shiling was not busy at his desk. Instead, he stood in front of the window. His tall back revealed a deepness that Xia Wanyuan could not understand.

    ¡°Put the documents on the table.¡± Jun Shiling thought that Lin Jing had entered and did not even turn around.

    However, in the next second, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist. Jun Shiling turned around and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan did not ask him what had happened. If Jun Shiling wanted to tell her, he would tell her sooner orter.

    She only hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist quietly and leaned into his arms.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan back, as if he wanted to draw strength from her, hugging her tightly.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling to eat. ¡°I specially made it for you. Hubby, give me some face and have a bite?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rarely called him Hubby, but Jun Shiling liked to hear it. Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan was coaxing him.

    ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of meat and fed it to Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes.

    ¡°Delicious.¡± Jun Shiling bit the meat.

    Although Jun Shiling did not have much of an appetite, he still ate all the food Xia Wanyuan brought.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling did not go to work. Instead, he hugged Xia Wanyuan and sat on the sofa.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I love you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jun Shiling tightened his grip.

    Thank God there¡¯s still you. (italics)

    Not only did the news of the Jun Corporation investing a huge sum of money to film an ancient movie cause a sensation in the entertainment industry, but as thergest business empire in the country, every movement of the Jun Corporation brought about a shock to the capital market.

    The capital market this time was clearly not optimistic about the huge investment of the Jun Corporation.

    There were very few scripts that could be filmed well in ancient movies. Furthermore, when everyone saw the name of the movie, ¡°Eldest Princess¡±, they knew that this was a female lead movie.

    There were no sci-fi elements, no lingering love, and no thrilling cases to solve. No matter how one looked at it, it was destined to be an unpopr movie.

    However, due to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high poprity, the industry¡¯s evaluation could still recoup the cost. However, it was impossible to make a profit, let alone walk into the international market.

    Up until now, there had not been a movie in China that could really leave the country and enter the international market. Even sci-fi movies could not do it, let alone ancient dramas.

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are the industry insiders starting again? CEO Jun spent some money to make his wife happy. Look at how excited you are. How can you analyze this? What can you do even if you don¡¯t profit?]

    [ So what if you¡¯re rich? Didn¡¯t you earn so much money from themoners? You took billions to film and y for Xia Wanyuan. How many children can you save if you donate so much money to the mountains? ]

    [ The kind people on Weibo in front are starting again? Before talking about others, look at yourself first. How much have you donated? They don¡¯t steal or rob money. They want to spend it on whoever they want. Just be jealous. ]

    While everyone was arguing on the Inte, the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± suddenly appeared and posted a few photos.

    @ Eldest Princess: ¡°Wee, Your Highness. @ Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    There were four photos on Weibo.

    In the first picture, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a light pink dress, was lying curiously on the corner building. She looked at the bustling crowd outside the pce. The beautiful clothes were only a foil to her noble aura. Her beautiful eyes were filled with the morning dew. She was innocent and pure, making one wonder what kind of noble and honorable favor had raised such a beautiful little princess.

    The second picture was a huge contrast to the first. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple linen shirt. It could be seen that the fabric was very rough, but it was very clean. She sat by the stream and washed her clothes. She did not put on any makeup, and her straight spine was not bent at all. Sitting in the wilderness, she had an extraordinary bearing.

    In the third picture, Xia Wanyuan had long hair tied up and her face was stained with blood. She was riding a horse and holding a spear in her hand, her sharp killing intent surging.

    In the fourth picture, there was an obvious sense of solemnity. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a dark-colored pce dress and sitting in the high hall. Her Highness was a civil and military official, and she knelt and bowed down. There was no exaggerated expression on her face, but there was a very dignified look in the picture.

    The heated debate stopped just like that. Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by the few photos posted by the official Weibo.

 Chapter 1000 - Sensation

    <h4>Chapter 1000: Sensation</h4>

    Over the years, the domestic film and television industry had exported arge number of low-quality period dramas. There were only a handful of high-quality dramas.

    Not to mention dramas which emphasize on female leads. In the past few years, the female self-awareness had awakened, and dramas which emphasized on female leads had exploded on the screen. However, the drama that could really be acknowledged by everyone was one in a million.

    Firstly, many actors¡¯ acting skills could not support the dominance of those independent female leads who looked down on the world.

    Secondly, and most importantly, if there was a problem with the script, many female leads would be circling around men under the guise of women conquering the world.

    All the men in the drama loved the female lead. When the female lead encountered difficulties, she always needed all sorts of male characters to help her out. There was no so-called wisdom or strategy. There was only love and naivety. In theter stages, she fell into a love triangle and could not struggle out.

    After watching so many such dramas, the audience naturally had a shadow over these dramas that were still talking about love despite wearing the shell of a strong woman.

    However, this time, the stills of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± made them smell a hint of anticipation.

    [ So cool, so cool. Oh my god, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze is killing me!!! ]

    [How is this a princess? This is the empress!! They shouldn¡¯t lie to us this time, right? Don¡¯t fall in love, really. Isn¡¯t it good for the female lead to focus on her career?]

    [I feel that it should be reliable this time. After all, how can CEO Jun¡¯s investment give Xia Wanyuan romantic scenes? Hahahahahaha, romantic scenes are impossible. The only way is to start a career!]

    [ F*ck, friend in front, your train of thought is very strange, but it makes sense! How can CEO Jun let Xia Wanyuan film a love scene? I¡¯m suddenly looking forward to this movie! Hurry up!! I¡¯ll reserve ten movie tickets! ]

    The movie photos of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± aroused everyone¡¯s endless anticipation. Everyone urged them to film it quickly under the official Weibo.

    As they urged, there was no movement on the official Weibo of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±.

    ......

    On the other hand, the official Weibo ount of ¡°Dark Night¡±, which had been silent for a long time, posted a new post.

    @ Dark Night: ¡°The night has ended and dawn has arrived.¡±

    The apanying photo was the release date of the movie Dark Night. It was in three days.

    [!!! Is today a good day?! Yuan Yuan¡¯s movie has appeared! Ahhh, I want to contribute ten movie tickets! Yuan Yuan, wait for me! ]

    [Three dayster¡­ Can this movie be more willful? Are you afraid that your box office will be good?]

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. Other people start promoting half a year in advance, but ¡°Dark Night¡± announced three days in advance. They¡¯re afraid that others will know that this movie exists.]

    Just as the fans of the movie were excited and nervous about the publicity of the movie, a marketing ount suddenly exposed.

    ¡°It turns out that mortals like us don¡¯t have to worry about the publicity of ¡®Dark Night¡¯. After all, there¡¯s a bug-level protagonist there. When you get home from work today, you¡¯ll know how willing CEO Jun is for Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    At first, no one understood what the marketing ount meant. It was only when they returned home from work and were flooded by the promotional posters for ¡°Dark Night¡± that everyone realized how terrifying the publicity for ¡°Dark Night¡± was.

    The entire subway station and bus stop were filled with ¡°Dark Night¡±. The advertising spots under the Jun Corporation were all for ¡°Dark Night¡±.

    There was no need for three days. In a day, under the flood of publicity, even the eighteenth-tier viges had discussions about ¡°Dark Night¡±.

    [My heart aches for the other movies in the same period. I want to watch others. Isn¡¯t Jun Shiling interfering with the market? No matter how bad a movie is, the box office won¡¯t be bad with such a flood ofments.]

    [Good wine doesn¡¯t fear deep alleys. Just wait and see. Spending so much money to promote it means it must be of poor quality.]

    [ The person in front, don¡¯t be jealous. Your title as Lin Xuan¡¯s fan has been exposed, okay? How do you know that the quality is not good? You haven¡¯t even seen it, yet you know how to read fortunes? If you¡¯re so good at reading fortunes, why don¡¯t you find out why your mouth is so cheap? ]

    The movie discussion about Xia Wanyuan caused a huge sensation on Weibo.

    However, at this moment, Xia Wanyuan was in no mood to care about this. This was because the finals of the International Fashion Design Competition were imminent. The finals were in France, and Xia Wanyuan was going to participate in France personally.

    ¡°Sister, bring me along.¡± Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was leaving, An Rao pulled her pitifully. After Xia Wanyuan left, there was no one to y with her.

    ¡°No, your stomach is big. You can¡¯t take the ne for so long.¡± Xia Wanyuan rejected An Rao.

    To An Rao, the most important thing now was safety, not fun.

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao pouted. She knew that what Xia Wanyuan said made sense and did not say anything else.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was going to France, Jun Shiling was even more unhappy. ¡°How many days?¡±

    ¡°Five days.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened visibly. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go.¡±

    In the past few months, the longest time the two of them had been separated was only six hours. Now, she was going to be gone for five days. Jun Shiling was very unhappy.

    Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm in amusement. ¡°This is a good opportunity for Xiu Yi to enter the international market.¡± Whether she could win the award or not, as the most popr designpetition in the world, she was destined to win the attention of the world.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling grabbed her hand. ¡°So long.¡±

    ¡°Not long. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m worried.¡± Jun Shiling was worried about letting Xia Wanyuan go so far alone. During this period of time, many things had happened in the country, and there were frequent abnormalities internationally. It was not peaceful.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll bring Xia Yu. You can be rest assured, right?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu had been trained, and could at least ensure Xia Wanyuan¡¯s safety. Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I should have gone with you.¡±

    However, such a big thing had happened in the Southwest Military Region. Bo Xiao had almost exposed the information of the entire Southwest Region. This was a matter of life and death for the entire country. At this time, Jun Shiling could not leave China.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a child. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. ¡°You even said I was clingy. You¡¯re even more clingy.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and did not say anything else.

    Although he could not go, Jun Shiling had secretly informed the relevant people in Continent O to protect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s safety.

    In an ancient castle in France.

    On the high seat sat a boy with ss-like blue eyes.

    ¡°Why haven¡¯t you found that woman?¡±

    ¡°Young Master, the information you described is too little. We¡¯ve really tried our best. There are more than two billion people in Continent Y. I¡¯m really sorry that we haven¡¯t found them yet.¡±

    ¡°Trash, go down.¡± The boy was young, but his words had weight.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The servants retreated respectfully.

    The castle fell silent again.

 Chapter 1001 - Bo Xiaoâ€™s Truth and Brotherly Cooperation

    <h4>Chapter 1001: Bo Xiao¡¯s Truth and Brotherly Cooperation</h4>

    Xia Yu naturally agreed to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request. ¡°Okay, Sister. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be there on time tomorrow.¡±

    Xia Yu carried something in one hand and the phone in the other. Just as he was about to press the elevator button, a fair hand reached out and pressed the 16th floor before him.

    Xia Yu looked up and met a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. ¡°Sister, bye,¡± Xia Yu said to Xia Wanyuan and hung up.

    ¡°You have a sister?¡± Seeing Xia Yu looking at her nkly, Jiang Yun smiled and found a topic.

    ¡°Huh? Hmm, right.¡± Xia Yu scratched the back of his head.

    ¡°I¡¯m not surprised.¡± Jiang Yao looked at Xia Yu¡¯s red ears and smiled.<i>?This boy looked like a younger brother.?</i>

    Xia Yu turned to look at Jiang Yun. Her short hair made her look even more capable. When she met Jiang Yun¡¯s smiling eyes, Xia Yu felt an impulse. ¡°My name is Xia Yu. What about you?¡±

    <i>Xia??</i>Jiang Yun was subconsciously stunned for a moment, but Xia was a too ordinary surname. Jiang Yun did not think much of it and nodded at Xia Yu. ¡°Hello, my name is Jiang Yun.¡±

    <i>Jiang Yun?</i>?Xia Yu smiled and revealed his white teeth. He was filled with youthfulness. Jiang Yun felt as if she had drunk a ss of lime soda and had a refreshing feeling.

    At that moment, Jiang Yun¡¯s phone rang. It was thepany¡¯s assistant. There was a problem with a project. After hearing the assistant¡¯s anxious report,

    Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a stern tone, ¡°Whoever is in charge of the project wille up with a solution. If you can¡¯t even do such a small thing, why would thepany support you?¡±

    With that, Jiang Yun hung up the phone. Only then did she realize that there was someone else beside her. The corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s a work habit.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s ears were still red, but as if he was afraid that Jiang Yun would misunderstand him, he looked straight at Jiang Yun with bright eyes. ¡°You¡¯re not fierce. You¡¯re very good-looking.¡±

    With that, Xia Yu seemed to have realized what he had said and scolded himself in his heart.?<i>What are you talking about?!</i>

    However, Jiang Yun was amused by his words. Jiang Yun¡¯s facial features were extremely good, but the powerful aura on her body covered the beauty of her facial features. When she smiled, there was a hint of gentleness and beauty.

    ¡°Do I look good when I¡¯m scolding my subordinates?¡± Other than work, Jiang Yun had never interacted with men, but she found this little brother quite interesting.

    Xia Yu¡¯s face was burning, but he still nodded. The young man¡¯s eyes were clear and untainted by society. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jiang Yun looked at the dimples on Xia Yu¡¯s face and his heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to say something, the elevator reached the 16th floor with a ding.

    Jiang Yun walked out and waved at Xia Yu. ¡°Bye.¡±

    ¡°Bye.¡± Xia Yu bade Jiang Yun farewell happily. It was only when Jiang Yun¡¯s figure disappeared from sight that Xia Yu realized that he had not left the elevator, but the elevator door had already closed.

    Xia Yu took the elevator to the top floor helplessly, then came down and returned home after a long time.

    Just as Jiang Yun returned home, Jiang Kui called.

    ¡°I received news that Xia Wanyuan is going to Continent O for five days. In these five days, seize the opportunity. Sister, you have to know that Father didn¡¯t call you back to lord over thepany. Thepany will be mine sooner orter, and your mission is to settle Jun Shiling.¡±

    Jiang Yun had been sent overseas since she was young, and her rtionship with Jiang Kui was not close. What he did not expect was that his sister¡¯s ability was so strong that it made him feel threatened.

    Jiang Kui had always known that he was the sessor of the Jiang family, but these days, his father had been praising his sister in all sorts of ways, making him very angry.

    To a wealthy family, if they wanted to chase a woman away and marry her off for marriage, they could strip her of her power to inherit the family. Jiang Kui did not have much hope that Jiang Yun could settle Jun Shiling, but he had to find some other people to send Jiang Yun out.

    ¡°Brother, can you say something else? Let me settle Jun Shiling? Why don¡¯t you say you¡¯ll settle Xia Wanyuan?¡± Jiang Yun kicked the high heels off her feet and leaned on the sofa tiredly.

    ¡°Is this how you talk to your brother? You have no right to direct in the Jiang family.¡± Jiang Kui¡¯s tone was filled with anger.

    ¡°I have something on. I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Jiang Yun was unwilling to talk to Jiang Kui anymore.

    ¡°What is this? I gave her face!¡± After being hung up on Jiang Yun for the second time, Jiang Kui was furious and threw his phone aside.

    ¡°Hey, who made our Young Master Jiang angry?¡± Zou Man walked in and wrapped her hand around Jiang Kui¡¯s neck. ¡°Young Master Jiang ~¡±

    Jiang Kui, who was in a fit of anger, was in no mood to flirt with Zou Man. He pushed Zou Man aside. ¡°Don¡¯t bother me.¡±

    Displeasure shed across Zou Man¡¯s eyes, but she hid it. The smile on her face did not change. She walked to the side and poured a ss of water for Jiang Kui, then quietly waited for him to calm down.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to Continent O,¡± Jiang Kui suddenly said after a while.

    ¡°Continent O?¡± The designpetition was about to begin. Xia Wanyuan was about to set off. At this time, Jiang Kui was going to Continent O, so Zou Man had to think more.

    ¡°Go back. I¡¯ll look for you when I¡¯m back,¡± Jiang Kui said as he took out a card. ¡°Use it.¡±

    Zou Man gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break.?<i>He kept sending me away with a card. What did he think I was? A prostitute??</i>However, Zou Man still maintained herposure. ¡°Okay, Hubby, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the seventh prison¡¯s underground medical room.

    The curve on the heart monitor was steadily extending.

    Through the window of the ward, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. He looked at Shen Xiu and asked, ¡°How is it?¡±

    Shen Xiu shook his head. ¡°We don¡¯t know what¡¯s in Chief Bo¡¯s body, so we don¡¯t dare to act rashly. We can only observe through a weak electric current. From the looks of it, your kick was just right. You must have broken some bnce. The maic wave in Chief Bo¡¯s body is gradually weakening.¡±

    ¡°Continue to observe. I¡¯ll go in and take a look at him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Xiu brought Jun Shiling into the ward and recorded the data on the ECG monitor before leaving the ward.

    The ward was very quiet, and only the sound of medicine dripping could be heard.

    After standing for a long time, Bo Xiao finally moved on the bed. His eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.

    It took Bo Xiao a long time to get used to the light in the room. He gently turned around and saw Jun Shiling standing at the side.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and only nodded gently at Bo Xiao.

    The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up in relief.

    After a while, Bo Xiao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°An Rao lives in the manor and is fine.¡± Jun Shiling knew what Bo Xiao was going to ask.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s eyelids twitched.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Jun Shiling added. He looked at the time. ¡°Rest well.¡±

    Bo Xiao finally closed his eyes peacefully. Jun Shiling went forward and tidied his nket.

    A momentter, Jun Shiling left the ward.

    In the room, Bo Xiao¡¯s hand moved slightly. Jun Shiling had just gently touched him with the back of his fist.

    Bo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and breathed out on the oxygen mask. It was white.

    The touch of the fist on the back was the etiquette between brothers.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes curled up a little.

    He had never revealed anything to Jun Shiling, and Jun Shiling had never asked him anything.

    The tacit understanding between brothers had never needed unnecessary words.

 Chapter 1002 - Secretly Whisper!!

    <h4>Chapter 1002: Secretly Whisper!!</h4>

    Jun Shiling took a long time for this journey, and it was already veryte when he returned to the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed in a daze with a nket draped over her. It was rare for her not to read or watch television dramas.

    Jun Shiling went to the bathroom to wash up briefly and used hot water to warm his hands. Only then did he return to the bedroom and reach out to hug Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby? Why aren¡¯t you reading today?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked a little unhappy and aggrieved. ¡°Why are you back sote?¡±

    Jun Shiling could not stand her like this and hurriedly leaned forward to kiss her, but Xia Wanyuan avoided him.

    Jun Shiling did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Didn¡¯t I send you a message? I have something to do. Don¡¯t wait for me for dinner.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Anyway, Xia Wanyuan was a little unhappy. She was going to Continent O tomorrow, but Jun Shiling came back sote tonight.

    The grievance in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was about to overflow. Jun Shiling felt pitiful and amused. His eyes were filled with smiles as he hugged Xia Wanyuan and slept under the warm nket. ¡°Can¡¯t bear to part with me? Are you throwing a tantrum with me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan refused to look at Jun Shiling angrily, her eyes staring straight at the small patterns on the nket.

    ¡°Are you ignoring me?¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head to kiss Xia Wanyuan, but she stopped him.

    ¡°You came back sote. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping? What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan could not exin why she was throwing a tantrum, but she was just unhappy.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know, but Jun Shiling did.

    Xia Wanyuan was very independent and strong in front of outsiders, but she was already used to being by his side and used to having him around. Xia Wanyuan began to panic when she suddenly had to go out for so many days. It was just that she had not realized it herself.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling patiently pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and held it tightly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte. Can you scold me?¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s apology, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was being unreasonable. She looked at Jun Shiling unnaturally. ¡°Why should I scold you?¡±

    ¡°Then if you don¡¯t scold me, can you kiss me?¡± Jun Shiling smiled. His heavy breathnded on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, burning her until she subconsciously moved.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan blushed. ¡°Who wants to kiss you?¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head. The faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan instantly lingered around him. ¡°Then it shouldn¡¯t be illegal for me to kiss my wife, right?¡±

    With that, his hot breathnded on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck itched from his rubbing. She smiled and pushed him. ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Call me Hubby.¡± Jun Shiling did not stop what he was doing.

    ¡°Hubby ~¡± Xia Wanyuan was forced into a corner and could only call out ording to his wishes.

    ¡°Mm, you were so proactive today. You even called me Hubby. Be good, don¡¯t be anxious.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth. ¡°Bastard.¡±

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan was carried onto the ne by Jun Shiling in a half-asleep state.

    Xia Yu looked like he had nothing to live for the entire time.

    <i>Could my sister and her husband, who were showing off their love, go any further?!! Who would dare to imagine that the iron-faced big shot who was admired by the assault team was such a wife-doting demon in private??</i>

    If he went back and told his superiors and teammates, no one would believe him.

    ¡°Take good care of your sister.¡± Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the bed and covered her with a nket.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother-inw. As long as I¡¯m here, Sister will be here.¡± Xia Yu quickly retracted the series of thoughts in his mind and was as obedient as amb.

    After instructing him, Jun Shiling turned around and looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan before turning to leave.

    Without Jun Shiling beside her, Xia Wanyuan did not sleep well. Not long after the ne took off, Xia Wanyuan woke up.

    ¡°Sister, drink some water.¡± Xia Yu thoughtfully brought Xia Wanyuan a ss of warm water. Jun Shiling had specially instructed Xia Wanyuan to drink water when she woke up.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it, revealing the faint red mark on her arm. Xia Yu silently lowered his head.

    Xia Yu:?<i>( ?¨Œ ?;) I¡¯m still a child. What did I do wrong to bear this??</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan left. An Rao lived in the manor. Even though he had a clear conscience, in order not to make An Rao feel ufortable, Jun Shiling still moved everything to the office.

    Xiao Bao went to school and Xia Wanyuan went to Continent O. An Rao was extremely bored and called Bo Xiao tentatively.

    In the medical room, Shen Xiu was checking Bo Xiao¡¯s body.

    ¡°You¡¯re recovering well.¡±

    Bo Xiao could take off his oxygen mask and speak slowly. He nodded at Shen Xiu. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Just as Shen Xiu was about to speak, hismunication device rang. He answered the call and listened for a while before looking at Bo Xiao. ¡°The person youbeled as your wife called you. Do you want to answer it?¡±

    Bo Xiao was stunned. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll get your phone,¡± Shen Xiu said and strode out of the ward.

    Soon, his phone was sent over. It was still ringing. Bo Xiao flipped through it. Over the past few days, An Rao had called him hundreds of times.

    Looking at An Rao¡¯s smile on the screen, Bo Xiao¡¯s hand trembled as he held his phone.

    Shen Xiu signaled the others to leave with him. The door closed and the ward fell silent. There was only the sound of his phone vibrating.

    In the manor, An Rao did not have any hope that Bo Xiao would answer the phone. After all, for so many days, not a single call could be connected. An Rao was already used to it.

    However, she still called every day. She knew that he would not answer, but An Rao had no other way to express her longing for Bo Xiao. She could only keep calling this number that would not be picked up.

    It rang for a long time and there was no reaction as usual. An Rao pursed her lips and was about to turn it off.

    With a beep, the voice chat connected.

    !!!

    An Rao was shocked. She did not even care that she was pregnant and jumped up from the sofa, scaring Mother Li. She hurriedly ran over to support An Rao.

    ¡°An Rao.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s voice came from the voice.

    Bo Xiao called out, but he did not hear An Rao¡¯s response for a while. ¡°An Rao?¡±

    Bo Xiao took his phone down to see if there was a problem.<i>?Why was there no sound??</i>

    A deafening cry suddenly came from the phone. ¡°Bao Xiao, I miss you so much. Where did you go? You didn¡¯t answer my call.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s heart ached when he heard An Rao¡¯s cries. ¡°Are you a train? Wu wu.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the train!¡± An Rao scolded jokingly as she continued to cry.

    Bo Xiao replied as he waited for An Rao to finish crying.

    About ten minutester, An Rao calmed down.

    ¡°Good girl, have you eaten?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s gentle voice came from the phone, making An Rao cry again.

    ¡°Yes.¡± An Rao sobbed. ¡°When are youing back?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯ll be a while more. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Bo Xiao wanted to rush back to An Rao¡¯s side, but he could not. This situation was not over and he could not leave.

    An Rao fell silent.

    After a while, Bo Xiao sighed. ¡°An Rao, I love you.¡±

    An Rao began to cry again. ¡°Did you do something dangerous?¡± Before Bo Xiao could deny it, An Rao said, ¡°I know. Bo Xiao, I¡¯m not stupid.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Bo Xiao did not know what else to say.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize to me.¡± An Rao wiped her tears. ¡°I¡¯ve never med you, and I¡¯m not angry with you. I just want to tell you that the baby and I are proud of you.¡±

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s sobbing voice, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°Stupid.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to call me stupid!¡± An Rao seemed to have regained her vitality and bared her fangs and ws. ¡°You said I¡¯m stupid. What if the baby is very stupid?!¡±

    ¡°Stupid.¡± Bo Xiao chuckled. ¡°As long as it¡¯s your baby, I¡¯ll like it no matter how stupid it is.¡±

    ¡°Pfft, you¡¯re the stupid one. The child I gave birth to must be especially smart.¡± An Rao was unhappy.?<i>How could the child I was pregnant with be stupid?</i>

    ¡°Mm, you¡¯re right.¡± Bo Xiaoy down and ced his phone by his ear to chat with An Rao.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, I¡¯m so happy that you¡¯re chatting with me. I¡¯m even happier than eating an entire box of green plums.¡± An Rao was very easy to coax. To her, having Bo Xiao¡¯spany was better than anything else, even better than her favorite green plums.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll apany you for a while more.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s voice was extremely gentle. At this moment, he would agree to anything An Rao said.

    ¡°Okay, you¡¯re the best.¡± An Rao smiled.

    Bo Xiao closed his eyes and smiled when he heard An Rao¡¯s voice. ¡°Stupid, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    It had been a long time since An Rao had heard Bo Xiao say sweet nothings. Being suddenly attacked, her face silently flushed red. Under Mother Li¡¯s teasing gaze, she pulled the nket over herself in embarrassment and secretly chatted with Bo Xiao.

    <h4>Chapter 1003: Arriving; Old Friend</h4>

    Knowing that An Rao was shy, Mother Li did not stay here as a third wheel. She stood up and left the living room.

    Two hourster, when she returned, An Rao was as red as a monkey, her eyes filled with smiles. Mother Li was also infected by her happiness.

    She had lived for so long, so how could she not tell that in the past few days, An Rao had been eating and drinking happily every day, but her eyes were filled with worry?

    With one call from Bo Xiao, An Rao was filled with joy.

    ¡°Miss An, you should be happy every day. This is good for the baby.¡± As a pregnant woman, maintaining a good mood was very important for the fetus.

    An Rao hummed happily. ¡°Bo Xiao said that he would call me again tonight.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Mother Li was happy for An Rao from the bottom of her heart.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jun Corporation.

    In the huge office, there was only the rustling sound of the pen on the paper. The sound stopped after a while.

    Jun Shiling took his phone and nced at it. There were still six hours before Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nended.

    Jun Shiling set an rm for the time the nended and brought his phone to the meeting.

    Downstairs at the Jun Corporation, the originally noisy hall fell into a short silence because of Jiang Yun¡¯s arrival.

    ......

    Jiang Yun¡¯s facial features were extremely exquisite to begin with. Her usually neat short hair always made people notice her imposing aura immediately. Today, Jiang Yun had specially styled her long hair. Every frown and smile was soul-stirring.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m looking for your CEO Jun.¡± Jiang Yun¡¯s voice broke the silence.

    ¡°Do you have an appointment?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I do.¡±

    The receptionist checked. ¡°Miss Jiang, please go up with the staff.¡±

    Jiang Yun nodded slightly and turned to leave.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?? Thedy boss just left, and a beauty came to look for CEO Jun. Is she here to pry into the corner?¡± After Jiang YUN left, the receptionists looked at each other.

    ¡°What great beauty? I still think ourdy boss is the most beautiful.¡±

    Jiang Yun went upstairs. This time, she was here to represent the Jiang family at the Y Continent Financial Conference held by the Jun Corporation.

    The meeting room was already filled with people. Jiang Yun walked over and greeted Jun Shiling before returning to her seat.

    This meetingsted for the entire afternoon and only ended in the evening.

    ¡°CEO Jun, have you considered my suggestionst time?¡± Jiang Yun walked to Jun Shiling¡¯s side with a faint smile on her face.

    ¡°Lin Jing will talk to you.¡± Jun Shiling put away the document and stood up to leave.

    At that moment, most of the people in the office had already left. Jiang Yun stretched out a leg and blocked Jun Shiling¡¯s path. She was wearing a dress today, and her fair legs were revealed under the skirt, making her especially eye-catching. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m from the Jiang family after all. It¡¯s not appropriate for you to send an assistant to talk to me, right?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold. He lowered his head and nced at Jiang Yun. The coldness in his eyes almost froze Jiang Yun. ¡°I won¡¯t be protective of the fairer sex. If you want the Jiang family to lose face, you can continue to pester me.¡±

    Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, the phone rm in his pocket suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked up his phone and made a call. His expression softened visibly. Just now, it was hell refining fire, but now, it was spring and wind.

    ¡°Are you there? Are you tired?¡± Jun Shiling spoke to the phone as he walked out.

    Jun Shiling opened her mouth. She wanted to say something to stop Jun Shiling, but in the end, she did not say anything.

    Watching Jun Shiling leave with a smile, Jiang Yun suddenly felt quite bored.

    After standing on the spot for a while, Jiang Yun shook her head and sighed. ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s life is so good.¡± Then, she left the meeting room.

    ¡°I¡¯m not tired. I reached after a nap.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned as she walked out. ¡°Did you just get off work?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ve arranged a ce for you to stay. Someone will pick you up.¡± Jun Shiling, who was a man of few words in front of outsiders, was very talkative.

    Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu walked out of the airport. As expected, someone was already waiting.

    The airport was filled with media reporters, but their cameras were not aimed at Xia Wanyuan. Everyone was looking anxiously in the direction of the exit.

    ¡°Such a hugemotion. Who¡¯s here?¡± Xia Yu looked at them curiously, but they were all foreigners. Xia Yu¡¯s foreignnguage was not good either. After listening for a long time, he could not tell who the reporters were waiting for.

    Xia Wanyuan was not curious. She waved at Xia Yu, who quickly followed.

    Cheers came from behind. A tall foreign man walked out of the exit and the media reporters swarmed him.

    Xia Wanyuan had never cared much about things that had nothing to do with her. She walked straight ahead, so she did not notice that the foreign man behind her was actually acquainted with her.

 Chapter 1004 - The Princessâ€™s Magical Recruitment Physique

    <h4>Chapter 1004: The Princess¡¯s Magical Recruitment Physique</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu sat in the car Jun Shiling had sent to pick them up and quickly left the airport.

    Behind him, the reporters surrounded the tall foreign man and walked out.

    ¡°Prince Charlie, when are you going to start the Zell contract you proposed in Ollyst week?¡±

    ¡°Hello, Prince Charlie. Other than your daily exchange in France, do you have any other itinerary?¡±

    Prince Charlie, who was surrounded, did not answer the reporters¡¯ questions. His gazended on the airport door. He seemed to have seen Jun Shiling¡¯s wife just now.

    He still remembered the shock of visiting Chinast spring and racing with Jun Shiling¡¯s wife.

    He had originally wanted topete with the weak-looking Mrs. Jun with pride. Who would have thought that not long after he started, Mrs. Jun had already crossed the finish line?

    Although nearly a year had passed and he could not remember Madam Jun¡¯s appearance clearly, that shocking beauty and refined temperament could be recognized at a nce from the crowd.

    The reporters followed Prince Charlie¡¯s gaze and looked out, but outside the airport, it was empty.

    ¡°Prince Charlie?¡± The reporter tried to ask something.

    However, Charlie, who had been in the royal family for so many years, was not so easily tricked. Heughed. ¡°The Zell contract will definitely be announced to everyone when it¡¯s time to implement it. Other than visiting France, I also want to experience the atmosphere of the country¡¯s art kingdom.¡±

    The International Design Competition was a major event in the fashion world. It gathered the attention of the world. Many people had specially rushed over from all over the world, including socialites and gentlemen from all walks of life. Prince Charlie, who hade to France for a visit, was naturally among the guests.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    This was not the first time Xia Wanyuan hade to Continent O. She was not very interested in the scenery outside. She leaned back in her seat and chatted with Jun Shiling on WeChat.

    It was alreadyte at night in China. Xia Wanyuan urged Jun Shiling to sleep, but Jun Shiling did not want to go. He sent a few cat emoticons to express his dissatisfaction.

    Xia Yu nced at the content on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat and was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s expression.

    ¡°Sister¡­¡± Xia Yu looked speechless. He wanted to confirm again. ¡°Are you chatting with CEO Jun?¡±

    ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°¡­ It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    <i>It was just that after discovering that legendary idols could use cute emojis, my faith copsed. Yes, it was not a big deal.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xia Yu and suddenly asked, ¡°Have you seen your father when you came back this time?¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°No, why?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°When you return to China, you should visit him when you have time.¡±

    Father Xia was not a qualified good father, but he was not an extremely bad person.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Yu replied softly. Xia Yu lowered his head, looking a little disappointed. He called out to Xia Wanyuan, ¡°Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and touched Xia Yu¡¯s head, ruffling his hair. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much.¡±

    Xia Yu looked up with a dependent smile in his eyes and dimples appeared at the corners of his lips. ¡°Sister, it¡¯s so good to be your younger brother.¡±

    ia Wanyuan smiled and was about to say something when she looked up at the rearview mirror and frowned.

    When the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, the car behind stopped as expected.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡± Jiang Kui walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a smile.

    Behind him, Zou Man also walked down. She wanted to go forward and hold Jiang Kui¡¯s arm, but Jiang Kui handed his hand to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°To be able to meet Madam Jun in France, this is fate.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s hand stopped in midair. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain a smile as she retracted her hand.

    Xia Wanyuan did not shake Jiang Kui¡¯s hand but nced at Zou Man. She knew who was behind the so-called genius designerpetition.

    This was the first time Zou Man and Xia Wanyuan had truly met. Seeing Xia Wanyuan up close, Zou Man felt a sense of vignce from the bottom of her heart.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan made her feel threatened. She had an uneasy confidence. Zou Man subconsciously avoided Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°CEO Jiang¡¯s girlfriend?¡± The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up as she looked at Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui retracted his hand and the smile on his face did not change. ¡°Of course not.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s face instantly turned pale.

    ¡°Lover?¡± Xia Wanyuan continued to ask.

    Xia Yu nced at her silently. He could tell that his sister was doing this on purpose. The woman in front of him must have offended his sister before. Otherwise, with his sister¡¯s personality, she would not insult someone like this.

    Jiang Kuiughed and looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re so concerned about my emotional situation. Could it be?¡±

    Zou Man, who was at the side, had already silently broken a fingernail. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question in public had really embarrassed her.

    However, Jiang Kui was a cold-blooded and heartless person. He had never thought of protecting her. Her broken nails dug into her flesh, but Zou Man was not in the mood to care.

    Xia Wanyuan did not n to waste time with Jiang Kui. She looked at Xia Yu. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu carried his luggage and followed behind Xia Wanyuan. The two of them quickly disappeared into the hotel lobby.

    Zou Man shook off the broken nails on her hand and smiled again. ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s go in too.¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s gaze keptnding on Xia Wanyuan in front of him. He did not look at Zou Man at all and acknowledged lightly.

    Xia Yu apanied Xia Wanyuan upstairs. Just as he put down his luggage, there was a knock on the door.

    ¡°Could it be that annoying young master of the Jiang family?¡± Xia Yu pursed his lips.<i>?Who would be so persistent?</i>

    He walked over and looked out through the peephole. He realized that there was a row of bodyguards standing outside the door. Xia Yu subconsciously became vignt.

    The person outside the door knocked again. Xia Yu reached for the gun with his right hand and opened the door with his left. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    To his surprise, the moment he opened the door, he met a pair of extremely blue eyes. It was a delicate little boy in his teens.

    Xia Yu¡¯s foreignnguage was not good, so he asked tentatively, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    The little boy was not as tall as him, but his gaze was condescending. He said in less fluent Chinese, ¡°I¡¯m looking for Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu felt that it was really strange.?<i>Why were there so many people looking for my sister in a foreign country? Did my sister have some magical recruitment physique??</i>

    ¡°Xia Yu, who is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked out.

 Chapter 1005 - Mysterious Young Master

    <h4>Chapter 1005: Mysterious Young Master</h4>

    Xia Yu turned around and shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know him. Sister, he said he was here to look for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked out the door and met a pair of blue eyes that were as transparent as ss.

    Xia Wanyuan had a photographic memory. Seeing these eyes, she recalled the little boy she had met at the church entrance when she participated in the musicpetitionst year. After all, these eyes were too recognizable.

    ¡°You¡¯re so difficult to find.¡± The hair on the boy¡¯s forehead was slightly curled and golden. His blue eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

    ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Although Xia Wanyuan recognized him, she did not know why this little boy hade to look for her.

    The little boy walked into the house. The person behind him wanted to follow, but he waved his hand to stop them.

    He took two steps and stopped. He looked at Xia Yu. ¡°I want to talk to her. Go down.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu was so angry that heughed.?<i>Where did this brat learn to sound so annoying and order people so matter-of-factly?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xia Yufortingly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go back to your room and clean up first. We¡¯ll eatter.¡±

    Since Xia Wanyuan had spoken, Xia Yu could only leave the room, but he did not dare to go far. He stood at the door and red at the bodyguards.

    ¡°Where are you going to eat?¡± The little boy walked in and sat on the sofa, his back straight.

    ¡°Why? You want toe with me too?¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up the teacup at the side. She had not drunk a mouthful of water since the airport. She was a little thirsty.

    ¡°Of course. You¡¯re my wife. I want to eat with you.¡± There was no hint of a joke in the little boy¡¯s blue eyes. He was very serious.

    ¡°Ahem.¡± Xia Wanyuan choked on her water. She swallowed the water and did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°How old are you?¡±

    The boy frowned slightly. His exquisite doll-like face had a maturity that did not match his age. ¡°No matter how old I am, it doesn¡¯t stop you from being my wife.¡±

    ¡°Why did you choose me?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little amused by his serious expression. ¡°We¡¯ve only met twice, right? This is the second time.¡±

    The little boy nced at her as if he found her talkative. ¡°Because you¡¯re not annoying and you¡¯re beautiful.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh. ¡°But I¡¯m already married. You¡¯rete, little friend.¡±

    The boy frowned. ¡°Can¡¯t you get a divorce?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°No.¡±

    The little boy stood up proudly and nced at Xia Wanyuan with his blue ss-like eyes. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused by his gaze. She even wanted to reach out and touch the little boy¡¯s curly hair. ¡°What¡¯s your name, little friend?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not my wife, so you don¡¯t have the right to call me by my name. I wanted to invite you to my house for lunch, but now you don¡¯t have the right.¡± With that, the little boy left angrily.

    Xia Wanyuan watched hime and go inexplicably.

    Xia Yu entered. ¡°Sister, who is this little boy? He¡¯s young, but he¡¯s quite arrogant.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°He won¡¯t tell me his name.¡±

    The boy left the hotel angrily. A group of bodyguards followed behind him and protected him tightly.

    ¡°Manda, what are you looking at?¡± Lady York and Manda were in the car, preparing to head to the charity g tonight. She was talking to Manda when Manda suddenly fell silent and was looking straight out the window.

    ¡°I think I saw the Cape family¡¯s car just now.¡± She kept looking out of the window, but the convoy had already disappeared from her sight.

    ¡°The Cape family¡¯s tentacles extend to the various royal families in Continent O. It¡¯s not strange to see the Cape family¡¯s car here.¡± Madam York was not surprised.

    The foundation of the Cape family was far from what their York family couldpare to. This was a family that had ruled the various royal families in Continent O since the Middle Ages. They had almost dominated the main economic system in Continent O.

    ¡°No.¡± Manda had lived in France for a long time and knew more about the Cape family than Mrs. York. ¡°I saw a young man sh past. That¡¯s very likely the young master of the Cape family.¡±

    ¡°Young Master?¡± This time, even Lady York was a little surprised. ¡°What is he doing here?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Manda shook her head, suddenly feeling that it was useless to care about this. ¡°Did you just say that Xia Wanyuan came to France?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re even the director of Camellia. Don¡¯t you care about this designpetition?¡± Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, Madam York was very unhappy. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect my nephew to really marry her. My brother is really muddle-headed.¡±

    She had abandoned such a noble granddaughter-inw like Li Qingxue and married such a rude woman. He really did not have any foresight.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been busy recently.¡± Manda patted Mrs. York¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s impossible for the Chinese to interfere in a ce like France. It¡¯s a fool¡¯s dream for that Xia Wanyuan to win thispetition.¡±

    ¡°Of course I believe you.¡± Lady York smiled and returned Manda¡¯s grip.

    Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu returned after lunch. Xia Wanyuan had justin on the bed and was about to take a nap when Jun Shiling called.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone and tucked her hair behind her ear. ¡°It¡¯s five in the morning in Beijing. CEO Jun, why are you up so early? Are you checking on me?¡±

    It was obvious that Jun Shiling had just woken up. His voice was still filled with sleepiness. ¡°Have you eaten?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ve eaten. I tried the signature foie gras and steak here. It¡¯s not bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not eat Western food much and felt that it was not bad to eat it asionally.

    ¡°Then take a nap.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. ¡°Aren¡¯t you at the manor?¡±

    On the phone, Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded like he was in an empty house. It sounded a little echoing.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling looked up at themand screen in front of him. ¡°I¡¯m doing something in the southwest now. When youe back, I¡¯ll be back too.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan clicked her tongue. ¡°You left as soon as I did. CEO Jun, you¡¯re the one who should be on duty, right?¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°Stop fooling around. You talk nonsense all day. Do I have time to think about others? Go to sleep.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt sleepy and yawned. ¡°Bye.¡±

    ¡°Bye.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and hung up.

    However, in the blink of an eye, the coldness returned to him.

    ¡°Sir.¡± The subordinate trembled. ¡°The deployment orders have been sent to the various military regions and are being implemented ording to the n.¡±

    Jun Shiling strode out of themand room. ¡°Connect to the bases in the southwest and have a meeting online.¡±

 Chapter 1006 - CEO Junâ€™s Shocking Identity Behind the Scenes

    <h4>Chapter 1006: CEO Jun¡¯s Shocking Identity Behind the Scenes</h4>

    The images of the heads of the core areas were projected on the huge electronic screen.

    Everyone knew that if it was not especially important, they would not hold an emergency meeting like this. Furthermore, they had not been informed of the person who hade to the meeting this time. Everyone¡¯s hearts were suspended.

    A few minutes felt like a few years. Footsteps finally came from the center screen. Everyone flipped open their notebooks and prepared to take notes.

    Then, an extremely young face appeared in the middle of the screen, looking out of ce with the surrounding middle-aged and old people.

    <i>Why would a businessman sit in this ce??</i>

    In the end, they were people who were used to seeing big waves. Everyone was puzzled, but they still maintained theirposure.

    ¡°I called everyone here today because I need everyone¡¯s cooperation on something.¡± Although everyone tried their best to hide their expressions, Jun Shiling could still observe everyone¡¯s thoughts from their subtle expressions. He said calmly, ¡°The core map of the southwest region has been leaked.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Everyone was shocked. ¡°When! Why didn¡¯t we receive any news?¡±

    <i>Why didn¡¯t we know about such a big thing??</i>

    ¡°Four days ago.¡± Jun Shiling ignored everyone¡¯s surprise and continued with his n. ¡°In order to prevent internal news from being leaked further, we need everyone to cooperate toplete the restructuring of the base in the southwest region. The overall scale will not change, but there will be arge change in the various districts.¡±

    When Jun Shiling said this, a few people¡¯s expressions darkened.

    Wherever there was power, there were benefits.

    The southwest region had continued the old management method for decades. Everyone was already used to having their own interests in a familiar ce.

    Now that there was going to be a change, some people were naturally unwilling.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and quietly looked at everyone¡¯s different expressions.

    Everyone was either worried, frightened, or angry. When they calmed down, they suddenly realized that Jun Shiling had been silent for a long time. Everyone looked up and met a pair of deep eyes that were like a ck pool, unfathomable and unpredictable.

    Under such a dead silence, someone finally could not hold it in anymore. ¡°Pardon me for asking, but where did this newse from? We didn¡¯t receive any documents.¡±

    ¡°From me. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling was dressed in a suit and looked out of ce in the military uniform that filled the screens, but his aura was not weak at all.

    With the introduction of the first person, the others also voiced their doubts.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    When he said this, some people who did not know Jun Shiling looked surprised.

    ¡°Yes, I disagree. How is it possible for the map to be leaked? I want to end the meeting and confirm it with my superiors myself. Your words alone are not convincing.¡±

    On the screen, someone began to leave the online meeting room. With the first person leaving, slowly, there was a second and third person.

    Soon, other than Jun Shiling, there were only six people left in the meeting room.

    Jun Shiling looked around. It was not much different from the number he estimated would stay at the beginning.

    ¡°CEO Jun, do you have a transfer order? Where did you find out that the map was leaked?¡± The person who stayed was much calmer and was sincerely concerned about the leak of the map.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling tapped the table twice with his finger and continued, ¡°However, my words are a transfer order.¡±

    No matter how steady the people who stayed behind were, they could not hide their surprise.?<i>This young man was too arrogant.</i>

    The next second, Jun Shiling¡¯s words stunned everyone.

    ¡°I¡¯m Zeus.¡±

    Three hourster, everyone left the meeting room in confusion.

    However, after three hours of meeting, from the various signs on Jun Shiling, they had no choice but to believe this fantastical truth.

    After the meeting ended, the subordinate came forward to help Jun Shiling adjust the equipment. He said in awe, ¡°Sir, your resting ce has been tidied up. Please follow me.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and walked out of the meeting room.

    France.

    After a full two hours of afternoon nap, Xia Wanyuan woke up naturally. She habitually leaned her head to the side, but there was no familiar shoulder supporting her.

    The curtains were tightly drawn and the room was dark. When she woke up, without Jun Shiling to talk to her, Xia Wanyuan missed him a little. She took her phone and called Jun Shiling, but the call could not be connected.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little disappointed. She looked at the time. It was still far from dinner, so shey on the bed and prepared to sleep for a while more.

    She closed her eyes andy there for a long time. Finally, she felt sleepy again. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the phone rang.

    Xia Wanyuan nestled under the nket and pressed the answer button unhappily. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled and said, ¡°Look at WeChat. I¡¯ve reported to you that I want to have a meeting. Three hours. I just came out of the meeting room.¡±

    ¡°I missed you.¡± Xia Wanyuan wrinkled her nose, feeling a little wronged. ¡°Very much.¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. He could hear the faint sound of the wind following the electric current. Then, Jun Shiling sighed. ¡°Do you want my life?¡±

    If not for the southwest region, Jun Shiling could not have separated from Xia Wanyuan. He had already tried his best to suppress his longing, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aggrieved cry of ¡°I miss you¡± instantly killed him.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled the nket closer. ¡°You don¡¯t even let me say I miss you?¡±

    ¡°Of course I let you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s fingertips were already turning pale as he held his phone. ¡°I miss you too.¡±

 Chapter 1007 - CEO Jun Coaxes the First Place

    <h4>Chapter 1007: CEO Jun Coaxes the First ce</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had read so many books and memorized so many poems. She had thought long and hard about the love in the books and had never felt the same way.

    But now, hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words from half a world away, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart felt sour and soft.

    It was clearly a negative emotion that made one feel wronged, ufortable, and want to cry, but because of Jun Shiling¡¯s words, a littleughter made one¡¯s heart leak out with a sweet warmth, making one¡¯s heart soften.

    Xia Wanyuan began to understand why so many schrs had been heartbroken over the word love since ancient times. It was because this thing seemed to have magic power.

    It was annoying, memorable, painful, and filled with uncontroble joy.

    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle voice came with aforting tone.

    ¡°Thinking about you,¡± Xia Wanyuan said bluntly.

    Jun Shiling smiled again. Xia Wanyuan could imagine how the flowers would fall with the light when Jun Shiling smiled.

    She seemed to miss him even more. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears turned red.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling called her with a charming voice.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice became soft with Jun Shiling¡¯s.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. I can¡¯t control myself anymore.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was extremely low. Once the spark of longing was ignited, it would burn crazily with his blood until he wanted to abandon everything and immediately look for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    ¡°Are you still sleeping? If not, I¡¯ll chat with you, okay?¡± Jun Shiling could hear the sleepiness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice.

    ¡°No, apany me.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was busy, but sometimes, she did not want to be too sensible.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling was busy with the work at hand and multitasked to chat with Xia Wanyuan.

    They chatted about books, paintings, gossip, and stories.

    When he hung up the phone again, it was already more than two hourster.

    It was the third time the person who came to deliver breakfast to Jun Shiling hade. It was almost time for lunch.

    ¡°Chief Officer, your food.¡± The person who came to deliver the food was a young woman. She was dressed neatly without makeup. In this environment filled with military green, she was like a blooming lotus.

    ¡°Thank you. Just leave it here.¡± Jun Shiling did not look up and focused on his work.

    The woman did not say anything else. She ced the things respectfully and left the room.

    When she returned to the lounge, the team members rushed up. ¡°Leader, did you see the legendary chief officer? How is it?¡±

    Although the woman was young, she was extremely dignified. She nced at everyone and they immediately became obedient.

    ¡°Is this a ce for you to gossip? Or do you think chief officers are the targets of your gossip?¡±

    Everyone hurriedly shut their mouths and carefully retreated.

    The woman tidied her clothes. Thinking of the god-like Jun Shiling she had just seen, admiration shed across her eyes, but she suddenly frowned.

    This Jun Shiling was a capable leader. Unfortunately, he was too immersed in his rtionship. After such a big thing happened, he could actually calmly coax a woman for a few hours.

    The woman opposite him was also insensible. She actually calmly dyed his work.

    ¡°Lin Wei, there¡¯s a mission.¡± The voice outside the door interrupted her thoughts.

    ¡°Coming,¡± Lin Wei replied and walked out of the room.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Yu had been squatting at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s door for a long time. Xia Wanyuan finally opened the door.

    Xia Yu had a bitter expression. ¡°Sister, I¡¯m starving.¡±

    His foreignnguage was not good, and he could not get the phonework right. He could not connect to the card here and kept tossing and turning in the hotel. It was finally time for dinner, and Xia Wanyuan had note out. He did not dare to call Xia Wanyuan, afraid that he would disturb her rest.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan was happy to be coaxed by Jun Shiling and was in a good mood. ¡°My treat. What do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°Sister, I knew you were the best!¡± Xia Yu jumped up and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°I just checked a restaurant. It¡¯s said to be a famous century-old restuarant here. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    However, unfortunately, when they reached the door and were about to enter, they were stopped.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, our restaurant was booked today. Pleasee another day.¡±

    ¡°Alright, Sister, let¡¯s change to another one.¡± Xia Yu had always found a few backup shops to buy food. He immediately prepared to pull Xia Wanyuan to the next street.

    However, just as the two of them walked away, someone stopped them.

    ¡°Miss Xia, our boss invites you in for a meal. Please stay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°Who¡¯s your boss?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯ll know when you go in.¡±

    ¡°Sister, something¡¯s wrong. Don¡¯t go.¡± Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan.?<i>Why are so many people looking for my sister every day?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan nced into the dining room. In a daze, she could only see a man in a white suit sitting at the dining table in the middle. His figure was tall and straight. Although she could only see his back, Xia Wanyuan recognized who he was.

    ¡°Since he¡¯s an old friend.¡± Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at a lively restaurant not far away. ¡°Tell your boss that I¡¯ll wait for him over there.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan turned and left.

    The waiter had no choice but to return to the restaurant and stand respectfully beside the man in white, repeating Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    The corners of the man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°She¡¯s so wary of me? Alright, if the mountain isn¡¯t me, then I¡¯ll go to the mountain.¡±

    The restaurant Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at was not like the high-end restaurant just now. They were all cheap food. Xia Yu was not picky. ¡°Sister, do you know that person?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu sat by the window.

    However, even though the location was already rtively remote, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eye-catching appearance and temperament still attracted countless gazes. The originally noisy restaurant slowly became quiet.

    The dishes were served quickly in the dining room. Xia Wanyuan had just picked up her chopsticks when a sh of white appeared in her peripheral vision.

    ¡°Professor Xia, is it that difficult to treat you to a meal?¡± Yu Qian slowly walked over with a smile on his jade-like face.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Yu Qian¡¯s cold eyes. ¡°We¡¯re not close. I didn¡¯t do anything to deserve this.¡±

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°After listening to Professor Xia for so many sses, it¡¯s normal for students to treat teachers to a meal.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan called the waiter over. ¡°Give this gentleman the same set meal.¡±

    Yu Qian watched Xia Wanyuan decide his dishes on her own and did not say anything. ¡°Miss Xia, aren¡¯t you going to ask me why I came to Continent O?¡±

    ¡°Will you answer if I ask?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked straight at Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and ate a mouthful of rice. ¡°Then why are you here?¡±

    ¡°For Professor Xia.¡± Yu Qian smiled. ¡°I haven¡¯t listened to your lecture in a long time.¡±

 Chapter 1008 - Two-faced CEO Jun

    <h4>Chapter 1008: Two-faced CEO Jun</h4>

    Yu Qian sat at the table openly. His posture was tall, and he had a smile on his face.

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan did not have any other reaction. She continued to chew on the small piece of steak quietly. She half lowered her head, her eyes picturesque. In this foreign restaurant, she formed andscape painting.

    Finally, after chewing and swallowing the steak, Xia Wanyuan looked up. ¡°Other than that?¡±

    Yu Qian did not hide anything. ¡°To do business and expand the Continent O market.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not ask further and ate quietly. Yu Qian watched her eat for a while and suddenly felt that the Western food in front of him should be quite delicious.

    He picked up his knife and fork and cut off a small piece. He frowned slightly and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t CEO June with you? Isn¡¯t your rtionship very good?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand paused. ¡°You care about quite a lot of things.¡±

    Support our

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Professor Xia, have you never thought that Jun Shiling is hiding something from you too? Do you know what he¡¯s doing now?¡±

    ¡°So what if he hid it from me? As long as he doesn¡¯t say anything, I won¡¯t ask.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was calm.

    Yu Qian carefully looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and could not see anything strange on her face. He raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°You really trust him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak further, nor did Yu Qian. At the dining table, both sides were silent.

    Only Xia Yu, who was sitting in the middle, was stunned. He did not understand and was even suppressed by their auras.

    After dinner, Yu Qian, Xia Wanyuan, and the rest went out together.

    ......

    Just like his person, Yu Qian looked extremely gentlemanly. He politely opened the door for Xia Wanyuan and sent them to the car before turning to leave.

    In the star-rated restaurant opposite the restaurant, a camera recorded this scene.

    ¡°Women from small families are ill-bred.¡± Madam York saved the photo. ¡°She ate with another man privately. My nephew still has to marry such a woman at home.¡±

    Manda elegantly stirred the coffee in her cup. ¡°This Xia Wanyuan does have a good face. Men like this.¡±

    ¡°China¡¯s economy has been developing better and better over the years.¡± Madam York suddenly sighed. ¡°Our Duke suddenly began to pay attention to China¡¯s market this year.¡±

    ¡°Indeed,¡± Manda echoed. ¡°Thest time I went to Beijing, it was a little beyond my imagination. The China I remember should be very backward. Camellia Group is already very dependent on the Chinese market.¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s difficult to enter the Chinese market.¡± Lady York looked unhappy.

    China was not like other countries, and they were stricter in controlling all kinds of capital.

    China was a piece of fat meat that everyone in the world coveted, but no one overseas had the ability to bite it down.

    This was also why Madam York hated Xia Wanyuan so much.

    The Jun Corporation yed an important role in China. Being connected to the Jun Corporation meant that they had obtained tickets to the Chinese market. Thergest consumer market in the world had countless business potential.

    Not only did Madam York find Li Qingxue to marry Jun Shiling, but she also found many juniors with good looks in the York family.

    Unexpectedly, halfway through her wishful thinking, it waspletely disrupted by this Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Are you still worried about your duke?¡± Manda saw Lady York¡¯s frown and came tofort her. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just marriage? It¡¯s just for her appearance. How long can it be? As long as you¡¯re willing to work hard, there¡¯s no one who can¡¯t be separated.¡±

    Lady York looked quietly at the photo in her hand and nodded.

    She was Jun Shiling¡¯s biological grandaunt. A marriage that she had not agreed to could not be counted.

    Tomorrow was the designpetition. The capital of France was a famous art capital. Any small shop here had a strong artistic aura.

    The winter in France was much colder than in China. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a thick down jacket and furry gloves. She strolled house by house, looking for small inspirations in her life.

    In front of an exquisite dress, Xia Yu suddenly stopped.

    This was a very simple ck and white dress. It was neat and capable, just like Jiang Yun. It had exquisite edges and corners.

    Xia Yu¡¯s ears turned red as he imagined Jiang Yun wearing this dress.

    ¡°Sister, I want to buy this dress.¡± Xia Yu suddenly stopped Xia Wanyuan.

    ia Wanyuan turned around and nced at the exquisite dress, then at the blushing Xia Yu. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯ve grown up.¡±

    Xia Yu was a little embarrassed. ¡°Sister ~¡±

    ¡°Buy it.¡± Seeing that Xia Yu was shy, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else.

    In the end, Xia Yu used his sry card to buy the clothes.

    After walking around outside, when she returned to the hotel, she bumped into Madam York, who had returned from dinner.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her and looked away, walking straight forward.

    ¡°Stop.¡± Lady York stopped her with an unhappy expression. ¡°Is this how you treat your elders?¡±

    ¡°How can a person who traveled abroad for wealth and glory and doesn¡¯t even know when her parents died be worthy of being an elder?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not like this Madam York who used a tone and spoke bluntly.

    ¡°You!¡± Madam York was so angry that her hands trembled.<i> I shouldn¡¯t have stopped this Xia Wanyuan. Every time I speak to this woman, I anger myself to death! </i>

    The elevator arrived. Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu quickly disappeared into the elevator. Mrs. York was unwilling to take the same elevator as them.

    However, the elevator was too slow. By the time the next flight went upstairs, ten minutes had passed. Lady York was even angrier.

    After a long afternoon, it was already ten at night when she returned to the hotel. Xia Wanyuan took afortable bath and took a look at her phone. Jun Shiling had left a message for her three hours ago, saying that he had something to do in the next eight hours and wanted her to sleep early.

    Thinking of what Yu Qian had said in the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    She really did not understand what Jun Shiling had been doing these days.

    However, the tacit understanding they had formed over a long time prevented her from suspecting Jun Shiling. If Jun Shiling did not say it, she would not ask. She believed that Jun Shiling had his own principles.

    After washing up, shey on the warm nket and looked at the falling snow outside the window. She slowly fell asleep.

    Southwest base.

    The people from the other regions finally understood the seriousness of the problem from various channels. Everyone gathered and had a meeting.

    Among the dozens of people, everyone was guarded against each other they were all people who had experienced the whirlpool of power. It was difficult to tell if what they said was true or false. When they received missions, they also avoided them and made things difficult.

    Even with Jun Shiling¡¯s iron-blooded methods, it still took him a long time to open up all the connections and make them obediently put down their differences for the time being and do as he asked.

    ¡°Meeting dismissed.¡± Finally, they heard this from Jun Shiling. Everyone was relieved and quickly packed their things and walked out.

    In the huge meeting room, only Jun Shiling was left sitting on the high tform.

    Everyone else had left, but Jun Shiling could not leave. He reorganized the entire Southwest Army. This was a huge matter that could cause the entire machine to be paralyzed with just a small part.

    Countless possibilities needed to be calcted in Jun Shiling¡¯s mind one by one, and he had toe up with the most suitable n. He also had to consider thepatibility of everyone¡¯s personality and environment.

    Jun Shiling sat in front of theputer and quickly typed on the keyboard.

    When Lin Wei entered with the tea, she saw Jun Shiling typing attentively in a suit. The light on the tform shone on his cold side profile. Just by sitting there, he had the power to stabilize the entire southwest.

    ¡°Officer, have some tea.¡± Lin Wei gently walked over and ced the teacup aside.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied without stopping what he was doing.

    Lin Wei nced at him and walked out quietly without saying anything else.

    Another four hours had passed since the meeting ended. It was alreadyte at night in China. This base was in the dense forest, and there were the cries of unknown birds at night.

    Finally, he organized the meeting report into a book. Jun Shiling closed theputer and rubbed his temples. His tired eyes were relieved.

    ¡°Officer, I know some massage techniques. Let me massage you.¡± Lin Wei had been waiting outside with food. Seeing Jun Shiling so tired, she could not bear it.

    ¡°No need.¡± Jun Shiling waved his hand and looked at his phone. It was one in the morning, but it should be early in the morning in France.

    He called Xia Wanyuan and it was quickly picked up.

    ¡°Are you awake?¡± Jun Shiling hid the fatigue in his voice, not letting Xia Wanyuan hear it.

    ¡°I just woke up. What are you doing?¡± The weather in France was very good today. In this hotel facing the sea, she could seerge white clouds through the huge French windows.

    ¡°I¡¯m getting ready to sleep. Are you going to thepetition today?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The nket was very warm. Xia Wanyuan nestled in it and did not want to think about it. ¡°Then sleep quickly. It¡¯s sote in China.¡±

    ¡°Okay, good night.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was gentle. ¡°Let me know after thepetition. I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m done.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. ¡°Goodnight, CEO Jun.¡±

    After hanging up the phone with Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling gestured for Lin Wei to bring the food over.

    ¡°Officer, this meal is a little cold. I¡¯ll heat it up again.¡±

    ¡°No need. Bring it over.¡± They had to continue deploying in five hours. There was no time to wait. Jun Shiling took the half-cold food and quickly finished the food on the te.

    ¡°I¡¯ll gather everyone for a meeting in five hours,¡± Jun Shiling said as he stood up and walked to the lounge.

    Looking at the cold Jun Shiling, Lin Wei was a little curious. <i>What kind of person was his wife? </i>

    Over the past two days, Jun Shiling had given her the feeling that he was ruthless, intelligent, and brave. It was as if wherever he was, he was the anchor.

    However, the Jun Shiling she saw today waspletely different from his image in front of everyone. He spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the person opposite him. He still used a coaxing tone.

    <i>What kind of woman could make him like this?</i>

 Chapter 1009 - Conflict at the Western Restaurant

    <h4>Chapter 1009: Conflict at the Western Restaurant</h4>

    France.

    Xia Yu¡¯s mission this time was to follow Xia Wanyuan closely. Hence, when Xia Wanyuan participated in thepetition, Xia Yu acted as her assistant and helped her carry her bag.

    France was originally the capital of art, and many domestic fashion brands were famous internationally. In this designpetition, France had provided the famous Marina Bay Art District as the venue.

    The art area was a semi-open-air design. Sitting not far away was a clean beach and blue sky and white clouds. Inside was the designers¡¯petition area and runway disy area.

    Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan around and was a little curious. ¡°Sister, there are so many seats. Why does it seem like there¡¯s no one?¡±

    ¡°Because today is the day to pick the materials and decorations. There will only be a show tomorrow.¡±

    The designpetition this time was different from the past. The organizers wanted to test the contestants¡¯ adaptability and design standards.

    They prepared an entire pile of fabric and decorations. Everyone was limited to three things.

    Creating art required time and inspiration. The organizers left a night for the contestants.

    The next day, they had to cut and design it live. Then, they went straight to the stage and the professional judges and the audience would choose the most shocking work.

    There were many contestants participating in this designpetition. It was almost time to choose the materials, and there were already more than thirty contestants present.

    Xia Yu could not follow Xia Wanyuan in anymore. He found a seat at the door and waited for her while she followed the crowd to the backstage area.

    Although there were many people participating, there were not many people from Continent Y like Xia Wanyuan. There were only about five to six of them, and most of the contestants were designers from Continent O and Continent M.

    ¡°Hello, my name is Jian Yun. Are you from Han Country too? Or is it Cherry Blossom Country?¡± Xia Wanyuan was admiring the surrounding scenery as she walked. A young man with his hair tied up walked over and spoke fluent foreignnguage.

    He had noticed this beautiful woman from Continent Y the moment he entered. She was simply much more beautiful than his model.

    ¡°China,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied briefly.

    ¡°China can actually participate this year?¡± Jian Yun was clearly very surprised.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and walked away.

    She had learned a lot of world history during this period of time.

    In her previous life, although they did not know much about these foreign countries at that time, it did not stop China from being the most advanced country in the world at that time.

    Now that the stars had changed, China was actually ostracized internationally as a joke, as if this country was synonymous with dirt and poverty.

    Especially Han Country. A country that relied on the American army to protect the people of Han Country did not have any autonomy at all. Where did the sense of superioritye from to mock China, which was not yet strong but had a straight spine?

    ¡°Wee, designers. Now that everyone has materials and decorations to choose from, the staff will give everyone a basket with their own namete. Everyone can only choose three items. After choosing, please hand the items to the staff and everyone can leave.¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, many people began to snatch the raw materials.

    One could not make bricks without straws.

    To designers, having good raw materials was like adding wings to a tiger.

    At this moment, no one cared about the gender difference. The male designers relied on their height to snatch the raw materials they wanted.

    Fortunately, the organizers had prepared enough fabrics and decorations for these designers.

    Xia Wanyuan had wanted to continue Xiu Yi¡¯s design style, so she chose a piece of cloud brocade and some gems and dried flowers to put in the basket.

    Soon, it was time. The staff came and took away everyone¡¯s baskets. The contestants were also asked to leave the venue.

    One by one, the baskets were brought backstage. In the final sealing stage, a short man secretly found the one with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name in the many baskets. Then, he secretly took out the things inside and stuffed a small package in his pocket.

    After doing all this, he looked up at the window not far away. A figure shed past.

    The surveince cameras in the backstage area that had been dim for a while began to sh red again.

    ¡°Sister, are you done choosing?¡± Xia Yu squatted at the door, feeling bored. He finally waited for Xia Wanyuan toe out.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°The restaurant that was booked yesterday is open for business again today. Let¡¯s go to that one.¡± Xia Yu kept feeling that Western food was not filling. He felt hungry just by walking around.

    Xia Wanyuan looked back at the art area and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The restaurant that Xia Yu had mentioned was extremely famous in France, so it had be a ce where foreigners had toe to.

    Not only did Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu go, but many designers who came to participate in thepetition also chose this ce to eat.

    ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± Xia Yu volunteered to order the dishes, then took out the trantor he had just checked and handed it to the waiter. ¡°Please give us a pair of chopsticks.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was used to using chopsticks. Xia Yu had long discovered this.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, customer.¡± The waiter was a blonde and hot beauty. She winked at Xia Yu. ¡°This is a French restaurant. We don¡¯t serve chopsticks.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Since they did not have it, Xia Yu did not force her. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, you have to suffer.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. It was best if there was, but if not, it could be done without a spoon.

    The blonde beauty winked at Xia Yu and left with the menu.

    Xia Wanyuan took the restaurant manual from the side. As she read, her actions stopped.

    Jun Shiling had taught her French. Although she was not proficient, she could still understand daily conversations.

    At this moment, the guests sitting beside her were discussing her and Xia Yu.

    ¡°Hey, look at the woman beside us. Isn¡¯t she participating in thepetition with us? She actually asked the waiter for chopsticks in a French restaurant. Oh my god, this is too scary.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve seen her introduction. She seems to be a designer from China. China uses chopsticks. She has probably never eaten Western food. How pitiful. She actually uses chopsticks to eat in a Western restaurant. Oh my god, she¡¯s too old-fashioned.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s China. Isn¡¯t it very normal? Thest time I saw the clothes designed by their designer, it was an international design style from twenty years ago. They still use elements that have been outdated for a long time. I really don¡¯t understand why they have the cheek to participate in thepetition.¡±

 Chapter 1010 - The Princessâ€™s Public Proposal

    <h4>Chapter 1010: The Princess¡¯s Public Proposal</h4>

    Xia Yu did not understand the ng. He only felt that the people around them kept looking at their table, and their expressions looked a little strange.

    ¡°Sister, don¡¯t you think the people around you are a little strange?¡± Xia Yu asked Xia Wanyuan quietly.

    Xia Wanyuan closed the menu and shook her head at Xia Yu. ¡°Ignore them. Wait for the food toe.¡±

    Perhaps it was because of Xia Yu¡¯s face, but when the golden-haired beauty came, not only did she bring food, but she also brought a pair of disposable bamboo chopsticks.

    ¡°Handsome, you have to thank me. I specially went out to get chopsticks from the boss of a Chinese restaurant.¡± The blonde beauty winked at Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu had never experienced such a scene before. His face flushed red as he took the chopsticks and thanked her, then handed them to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan threw away her knife and fork and took the bamboo chopsticks. She had been used to using chopsticks in her two lifetimes. It felt a little awkward to eat with her knife and fork.

    ¡°It tastes good.¡± Xia Yu tasted the steak in front of him. ¡°No wonder business is so good. So many peoplee here to eat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s table had already started eating, but the guests beside her had yet to be served, so they gathered on the topic of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Pfft, country bumpkins. Look at them. Hahaha, they look like they¡¯re eating something delicious just by eating steak.¡±

    ¡°That Chinese woman is too embarrassing. She actually eats with chopsticks and doesn¡¯t have any dining etiquette. She¡¯s indeed from China. Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan originally wanted to ignore them, but these people¡¯s voices were like flies buzzing in her ears. Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks and was about to speak when she heard a loud collision behind her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw that the table behind her had fallen to the ground. The person who had been gossiping just now looked at the group of bodyguards in ck in horror.

    ......

    In front of the bodyguard in ck stood a child with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He was looking at the mess in front of him impatiently.

    He said something in an unknownnguage. The bodyguard in ck summoned the restaurant boss, who could only smile and give each table a stack ofpensation before sending them away.

    Most of the local dignitaries in the restaurant recognized the n badges on the bodyguards. With the principle that it was better to avoid trouble, everyone chose to leave.

    Only the two tables of designers behind Xia Wanyuan did not know much about the local family situation in Continent O.

    Among these designers, there was nock of people with good family backgrounds. When had they ever suffered such humiliation? They immediately wanted to reason with the boss. ¡°Do weck yourpensation? Who are you looking down on?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Young Master An Luo of the Cape family is here today. He¡¯s the owner of the restaurant. He wants everyone to leave. Please understand.¡±

    ¡°The Cape family?¡± The designers, who were originally arrogant, immediately changed their expressions when they heard these words. They carefully looked at the child who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old and thought to themselves that the legendary young master of the Cape family was actually so young.

    However, although he was young, the Cape family standing behind him was not young. Everyone stopped causing trouble and quietly left the dining room.

    The restaurant owner walked up to Xia Wanyuan again. ¡°Miss, I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    ¡°You can leave.¡± An Luo waved at the restaurant owner. The ck gem ring on his index finger shone under the light.

    The restaurant owner looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise, then bowed respectfully to An Luo. ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan continued to sit down and eat. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was so calm, Xia Yu also sat down quietly to eat.

    Displeasure shed across An Luo¡¯s blue eyes.

    When had he ever been ignored?

    The bodyguard spread out the woolen carpet on the ground. An Luo stepped on it and sat at the table.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was focused on eating, An Luo knocked on the table and said in standard Chinese, ¡°I helped you teach them a lesson. Aren¡¯t you going to thank me?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not your wife, why are you looking for me?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at the child.

    An Luo frowned. His blue eyes were like a gentleke, revealing some dissatisfaction. ¡°Who¡¯s looking for you? I was just passing by and wanted to eat.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied, then immersed herself in the food in front of her.

    The restaurant owner served the food fearfully. Seeing the young master¡¯s cold expression, he could not help but sweat for Xia Wanyuan, who was still eating.

    <i>How gutsy must this Chinese woman be to treat Young Master An Luo like this??</i>

    Looking at the food in front of him that was identical to Xia Wanyuan, An Luo reached out to scoop a spoonful. He tasted it and frowned slightly.

    <i>It tasted bad.</i>

    He looked at Xia Wanyuan, who had already eaten more than half of it, and was puzzled.?<i>Why does this person eat everything??</i>

    ncing at Xia Wanyuan again, An Luo scooped another spoonful into his mouth in disdain.

    <i>Hmph, it still tasted bad.</i>

    Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rhythm, An Luo ate half a serving. Seeing Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks, he also put down his spoon.

    ¡°Hey, can¡¯t you get a divorce?¡± An Luo stared at Xia Wanyuan with a pair of beautiful eyes. ¡°I have a lot of money and a lot of power. If you get a divorce, I¡¯ll give you thergest crown in the world.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little amused. ¡°How old are you? You¡¯re not even an adult and you¡¯re already thinking of marriage?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll save it first. I¡¯ll marry you when I¡¯m an adult.¡± An Luo looked very serious. His eyes were big and blue, like the most beautiful sapphire.

    ¡°At your age, you¡¯re at most my younger brother.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that An Luo might not even understand the meaning of marriage. He simply wanted to find someone to apany him.

    ¡°Who¡¯s your younger brother?¡± An Luo¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°I¡¯m the young master of the Cape family. Since you don¡¯t want to be my wife, don¡¯t pull strings.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Alright, Xia Yu, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xia Yu, who was watching the show from the side, came out of his stunned state. ¡°Oh, okay, Sister.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to leave, An Luo was unhappy. He wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to stop her. He could only watch as Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu disappeared at the door.

    ¡°Young Master, your call.¡± The bodyguard handed the phone to An Luo.

    A middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from the phone. ¡°Young Master, when will your friend arrive? I specially invited a Chinese chef to make authentic Chinese food today. I guarantee that your friend will be satisfied.¡±

    ¡°What friend? I don¡¯t have any friends. Feed the food to my Bei Bei.¡± An Luo called the butler unhappily. The curly golden fur on his forehead trembled slightly.

    The butler listened to An Luo lose his temper on the phone. There was a little leopard squatting by his feet. This was An Luo¡¯s pet, Bei Bei.

    Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan back to the hotel. The first thing he did was report this strange child to Jun Shiling.

    However, his words were inappropriate, causing Jun Shiling to receive a message.

    ¡°Brother-inw! Oh no! Sister was proposed to in public today!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1011: Warm and Detailed; First in Doting Wife</h4>

    Finally, after an entire day of mock practice, Jun Shiling¡¯s throat was a little dry. Lin Wei handed him a ss of warm water soaked in red dates.

    ¡°Sir, it¡¯s already eight in the evening. I¡¯ll bring the food over for you.¡± From noon to eight in the evening, Jun Shiling had been discussing with everyone and giving orders non-stop. Lin Wei felt very tired watching from the side.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Jun Shiling nodded at Lin Wei, then looked at the time. Calcting the time difference, it was three in the morning in France. Xia Wanyuan should be asleep, so he did not n to call her again.

    However, when he saw Xia Yu¡¯s message, Jun Shiling frowned.?<i>What proposal?</i>

    Lin Wei quickly brought Jun Shiling¡¯s dinner over.

    ¡°Officer, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Lin Wei ced the things in front of Jun Shiling and looked at him with admiration.

    Lin Wei was famous for being arrogant here and had strict requirements for her subordinates. When Jun Shiling first arrived, she thought that this young man was only good-looking. Who would have thought that he could actually mediate the chaotic situation in the entire southwest region alone? She was extremely impressed and immediately treated Jun Shiling with extreme respect.

    ¡°You guys have worked hard too.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. Over the past few days, everyone had followed him day and night to catch up on their progress. It had indeed been hard on them. Although Lin Wei was a woman, her ability to do things was extremely strong. She did not show any signs of fatigue from the high-intensity rotation these few days.

    Lin Wei looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile and was about to say something when Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang. Seeing the word ¡°baby¡± on the phone, Lin Wei¡¯s eyes flickered and she retreated to the side.

    Ignoring his food, Jun Shiling picked up the phone. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet? Are you thirsty? Didn¡¯t I tell you to remember to put a ss of warm water beside you before you sleep?¡±

    ¡°Mm ~¡± Having her situation guessed by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan replied awkwardly, ¡°Then I forgot ~¡±

    ¡°What if you catch a cold? Continent O is so cold. I¡¯ll get the hotel to send you water before you sleep tomorrow night.¡± After talking for the entire day, even though his throat was already very ufortable, Jun Shiling did not forget to remind Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan sniffed. ¡°Time passes so slowly. I want to go home.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she was getting more and more backward. In the past, when she went out to fight for a few months or years, she did not think of home so much. Now, it had only been two days, and she wanted to go home so much.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, Jun Shiling felt ufortable. ¡°How many days more?¡±

    ¡°Two days.¡±

    ¡°Mm, soon. Be good and sleep. You have a busy day tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what¡¯s wrong with your voice? Is it difficult today?¡± From the beginning, Xia Wanyuan could tell that something was wrong, but Jun Shiling had been deliberately hiding it. However, he was extremely tired and could not hide it no matter what.

    ¡°Mm, I had a meeting for the entire day.¡± Jun Shiling rubbed his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to eat.¡±

    ¡°Then eat. Turn on the video. I want to apany you. You¡¯re not allowed to let me sleep.¡± As if knowing what Jun Shiling was going to say, Xia Wanyuan stopped him.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling smiled helplessly and switched to a video call.

    On the other end of the line, Xia Wanyuan was nestled on the bed, half of her face buried in the nket. She was very close to the camera, and one could see her distinct eyshes. Jun Shiling looked at her carefully before lowering his head to eat.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in the video. Behind him was arge screen with shing red dots. The food was very simple, three dishes and a soup. Although Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were elegant, he seemed to be hungry. He ate a little anxiously, and his face was filled with fatigue.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak andy quietly on the pillow, watching Jun Shiling finish the food in front of him.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done eating. Go to sleep.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the quiet Xia Wanyuan in the camera.

    Her eyes surged, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to turn off her phone when she suddenly thought of something. ¡°Can you not hang up? I want to see you tomorrow morning when I wake up.¡±

    ¡°Okay, as you wish.¡± Jun Shiling stood up and walked to the lounge with his phone. ¡°Sleep.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan close her eyes in peace.

    Behind Jun Shiling, Lin Wei had aplicated expression.

    She had seen the toughest and most charming side of a man.

    Then, she saw his gentle and amodating expression.

    No woman could resist such a temptation.

    Four hourster, the sun rose in France.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and took the phone. As expected, the call was still connected. Jun Shiling was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, deep in sleep.

    Xia Wanyuan watched for a while before reaching out to hang up. Then, she took a selfie with the first ray of sunlight in the morning and sent it to Jun Shiling before getting up to wash up.

    Xia Yu was already waiting at the door in high spirits. After apanying Xia Wanyuan for breakfast, the two of them headed to the Marina Bay Art District.

    Today was different from yesterday. Both sides of the road were filled with cars. All sorts of fashion experts and nobles were dressed in gowns and preparing to enter the show.

    The entrance of the venue was filled with arge number of media reporters. The sound of shutters rang one after another.

    Most of the people who came were from Continent O. Xia Wanyuan did not know them, so she brought Xia Yu into the venue from the back door.

    Not long after they entered, a ck limousine arrived at the entrance of the venue. Looking at the familiar license te, the reporters were excited.

    A man in a suit got out of the car and eximed.

    ¡°Prince Charlie is here too!¡±

    ¡°Prince Charlie has always liked to watch shows. Isn¡¯t it normal for him toe here?¡±

    Everyone was still discussing when Prince Charlie walked in surrounded by the organizers.

    Before everyone could recover from Prince Charlie¡¯s shock, a car with the letter K drove over.

    Only one family in the entire Continent O used a car with the K word. Everyone looked at each other.<i>?Was this designpetition so prestigious? Even the Cape family was here?!?</i>

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, an exquisite little boy walked out of the car. The unique ck jade ring on his finger clearly disyed his identity.

    The young master of the Cape family, An Luo.

    Although he was still young, as the young master of the Cape family, no one dared to attend to him haphazardly. The organizer personally came out to wee him in.

    Due to the arrival of Prince Charlie and An Luo, the atmosphere in the show venue became even more enthusiastic.

    It was half-past eight in the morning in France.

    Because there were too many things to do, Jun Shiling only slept for five hours these few days. When the rm rang, Jun Shiling woke up on time.

    He took his phone and saw that the call had been hung up. However, there were two more messages on WeChat.

    Jun Shiling clicked on the message. Xia Wanyuan had sent him a photo.

    The first ray of morning sunlight shone gently on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, softening the curve of her face. She sat on the bed without makeup, but she looked even more beautiful. She smiled at the camera with a dimple, exuding warmth from the inside out.

    Other than a photo, there was another sentence. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯ve worked hard ~¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at it quietly for a while and a smile appeared on his face. He reached out and set the photo as his phone background. Then, as if it was filled with electricity, he got up from the bed in high spirits.

    At the backstage of the venue, the designers were puzzled when they heard the organizers announce the rules. ¡°Didn¡¯t they say yesterday that the content of today¡¯spetition was after choosing the raw materials? Why is there apetition beforehand?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± The organizer gestured for everyone to calm down and began to exin in detail. ¡°The chosen raw materials are for everyone to disy their personal designs. In the earlierpetition, we will distribute the same fabric to everyone. Everyone will design ording to the fabric. Ten people will be selected to participate in the final individual exhibitionpetition.¡±

    Although it was very sudden, thepetition rules were still very fair, so no one had any objections.

    On the other hand, the staff standing at the side nced at Xia Wanyuan a few times. Xia Wanyuan sensed it. When she looked over, the staff looked away.

    Generally speaking, arge amount of manpower and resources were needed to cut and sew a high-end custom-made dress. Some even took half a year toplete. It was impossible for many clothes withplicated designs to be made in half a day.

    For the fairness of thepetition, the organizers stipted that there was no need to sew the actual clothes. They only needed a detailed design.

    The organizers would use the most advanced 3D imaging technology to 100% copy the designers¡¯ designs and project them onto the models. The models wouldplete the disy of the clothes.

    The show was showing the contestants¡¯ situation on the big screen.

    The designers were brought into special design rooms by the staff to prepare for the firstpetition.

    ¡°Okay, the staff will distribute the fabric to the contestants. Please create your design ording to the characteristics of the fabric. The time limit is three hours. After the design is over, we will use 3D imaging technology to project everyone¡¯s design onto the model. The model will show the costume effect to the guests.¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, he began to distribute the cloth. It was arge red cloth without any other colors.

    Red was an extremely gorgeous color. It had always represented passion, elegance, and was loved by designers.

    However, at the same time, because of its overly dazzling color, its design became very difficult. If the design was too simple, it could not unleash the charm of this color. If it was tooplicated, it would appear very vulgar.

    The designers began to rack their brains to think of what style to design.

    Xia Wanyuan felt very close to this bright red cloth. After all, red was the color that China used the most.

    The others drew patterns on the electronic screen. Xia Wanyuan looked at the time and recalled the rules of thepetition she had just seen. The fabric was limited, but there was no limit to the materials. She raised her hand.

    ¡°Contestant No. 6, do you have any questions?¡± The staff quickly walked over.

    ¡°I would like to have full-color embroidery thread and needles.¡±

 Chapter 1012 - Mystical Embroidery Shocking the World

    <h4>Chapter 1012: Mystical Embroidery Shocking the World</h4>

    ¡°Huh? This¡­¡± The staff was stunned. No one had ever made such a request. ¡°Your request is not very reasonable.¡±

    ¡°Is there a rule that says I can¡¯t have it? Which one?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    The staff was stunned by her question. Embroidery needles belonged to the tool category, and these were indeed not restricted. ¡°Then please wait a moment. I¡¯ll ask.¡±

    In the show, through the big screen, the audience naturally noticed the situation in the venue.

    ¡°Embroidery? She has so many requests.¡± Madam York and Manda sat in the second row and paid close attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation.

    ¡°It¡¯s probably because the design isn¡¯t good, so she can only find her presence from her workmanship.¡±

    ¡°It won¡¯t stop her.¡± Manda had participated in many suchpetitions and was already very familiar with thepetition rules. ¡°The current 3D projection technology is very mature and can simte the effect that the designers want to the greatest extent. If she made it herself and there¡¯s a problem with the embroidery, it will be superfluous.¡±

    ¡°We still have to be careful. This Xia Wanyuan is strange.¡± Madam York felt uneasy. She gave the person beside her a look, and the assistant beside her immediately stood up and left.

    The other audience in the venue also noticed this situation. Everyone was discussing.

    Soon, the staff returned to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Xia. We don¡¯t have aplete set of embroidery threads here. If we go and prepare now, it will take at least three hours to transfer the goods.¡±

    Three hourster, thepetition would be over. Xia Wanyuan could only nod. ¡°Okay, got it.¡±

    In the audience, Prince Charlie was shocked when he saw Xia Wanyuan. He did not expect that the woman he had seen at the airportst time was really Xia Wanyuan.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s magical horse racing skills, Prince Charlie was excited. He began to think about inviting Xia Wanyuan topete with him again after thepetition.

    Not far from Prince Charlie sat An Luo, who was wearing an exquisite evening suit. He looked a little out of ce in this world filled with adults, but no one dared to underestimate him. After all, the Cape family behind him represented weight in Continent O.

    An Luo summoned his subordinate and said something.

    Not long after, more than ten tall bodyguards brought them to find embroidery needles and strings of all colors and sizes, and entered the show.

    ¡°Here, take it to that contestant and let her embroider it.¡± The bodyguards piled the things on the stage and stared straight at the staff. They had the aura that they would destroy this ce if they did not give it to her.

    The other audience in the show were also very curious about what this Chinese woman wanted so many threads and needles for. They urged the organizer to quickly send the things over.

    It was originally a reasonable request from the contestants. Now that Young Master An Luo was pressuring them and the audience was pushing them, the organizers finally chose topromise and let the staff send the things over.

    Although An Luo¡¯s subordinates looked burly, they had carefully prepared a needle piercing device, saving Xia Wanyuan a lot of time.

    Xia Wanyuan fixed the red cloth in ce, then held ten embroidery needles in each hand and seriously observed the empty red cloth. To the audience, she seemed to be in a daze.

    However, if the camera could capture Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, they would realize that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze was constantly scanning the red cloth, and her mind was constantly calcting the points.

    Outside the show, everyone was whispering. Everyone knew about embroidery, but they had never seen one hold so many needles like Xia Wanyuan.

    For ordinary embroiderers, it was already very troublesome to use three at the same time.

    However, to Xia Wanyuan, she had a martial arts foundation to begin with. It was easy for her to use hidden weapons, and she could do the speed and strength needed to pierce the needle.

    More importantly, in her previous life, she had learned from the most famous embroiderer in the Great Xia Dynasty. Many embroidery techniques that had disappeared in the future had been learned by Xia Wanyuan.

    One of them was the ¡°Fairy Scattering Flowers¡± embroidery method. It used needles as flowers and had too high requirements for the embroiderer. Back in the Xia Dynasty, only Xia Wanyuan and her master could embroider it.

    In this era, only Xia Wanyuan could do it.

    Just as everyone felt that Xia Wanyuan was stumped, she suddenly moved.

    There was no mark on the red cloth. All the patterns and positions had already been calcted in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mind. The twenty embroidery needles urately determined a rough outline.

    Although the audience was shocked, they did not understand. They only felt that it was quite amazing that Xia Wanyuan could poke all the needles into the cloth.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s next actions dazzled them.

    The threads had already been threaded and ced aside. It was unknown how Xia Wanyuan controlled so many needles and threads. Like a fairy scattering flowers, they drilled into the red cloth one by one. The foam board opposite was filled with arge number of embroidery needles.

    As time passed, the red fabric in front of Xia Wanyuan was almost blocked by arge pile of embroidery threads, like thousands of spiderwebs covering the fabric.

    In the eyes of the audience, it was aplete mess. No one could tell what was going on, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements and posture when she embroidered were really beautiful. For that face, everyone still divided their attention to her.

    As time slowly passed, the works of the other designers began to take shape. Xia Wanyuan was still tightly wrapped in embroidery threads. Everyone¡¯s interest began to wane and they paid attention to the other designers.

    Xia Wanyuan stood in front of the cloth and her ten fingers kept flying up and down. Like ten exquisite conductors, she sent the embroidery threads to where they should be.

    The reason why the ¡°Fairy Scattering Flowers¡± embroidery technique was precious was that it could greatly reduce the speed of embroidery and not reduce the quality.

    At the same time, it also meant that she needed to be extremely focused and have a strong memory ability. This was because once she made a mistake, every step would be wrong. Xia Wanyuan did not dare to rx at all. Gradually, a thinyer of sweat began to appear on her face, and her fingers trembled slightly.

    However, inside theyers of embroidery in front of her, she could already vaguely see the finished product shining with golden light. Xia Wanyuan focused and did not let anything happen to her at thest moment.

    Time passed minute by minute. The other contestants had already begun to gradually press thepletion button. Xia Wanyuan still maintained an extremely high embroidery speed.

    Finally, in thest ten minutes, the designs of the other contestants were all disyed on the big screen. This made Xia Wanyuan, who was still working, look very eye-catching. The audience focused their gazes on Xia Wanyuan again.

    ¡°Phew.¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed softly and finally sent thest silver thread into the embroidered thread. At this moment, in front of Xia Wanyuan, thousands of embroidered threads were wrapped around the fabric, umting to nearly ten centimeters tall.

    ¡°Does she know embroidery or not? Hahaha, how can this be? Did she randomly poke around?¡± However, before this person could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan moved.

    Xia Wanyuan took a pair of scissors and cut the embroidery threads that were poking out from the edge. After cutting an entire round, Xia Wanyuan put down the scissors, then reached into the ball of embroidery threads, pulled up the red cloth inside, and shook it.

    The embroidery threads on the ground were shaken off, and the red cloth inside finally revealed its true appearance.

    No, at this moment, it could no longer be called red cloth.

    It should be called a phoenix of desire!

    As Xia Wanyuan moved, a phoenix that had emerged from the mes on the cloth pped its wings. Every feather carried a stream of light as it chirped, as if it wanted to fly to the nine heavens.

 Chapter 1013 - Phoenix Cry Wins First!

    <h4>Chapter 1013: Phoenix Cry Wins First!</h4>

    Not to mention that the Chinese had never seen such a magical embroidery method, let alone the foreigners. The audience erupted in surprise.

    ¡°Oh my god! Is that aputer special effect? What¡¯s that bird that¡¯s going to fly out of her hand?! It¡¯s so beautiful!¡±

    ¡°How did she do this?! I can¡¯t believe my eyes!¡±

    In the second row of the show, Manda and Lady York looked at each other. Their eyebrows were furrowed.<i>?How could this be??</i>

    There were still five minutes left until the end of thepetition. Cutting and sewing were too simple for Xia Wanyuan. She did not measure the size and took a pair of scissors to cut the fabric. The sewing machine clicked a few times.

    At thest second of thepetition, Xia Wanyuan pressed thepletion button.

    The runway was already prepared. Dozens of models were wrapped in special white materials. The special 3D lighting device on the runway was glowing red.

    ¡°Good! After three hours ofpetition, all the works have been designed. Next, it¡¯s time for the long-awaited disy. Without further ado, please enjoy the visual feast brought to us by the world¡¯s outstanding designers!¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, the lights in the runway began to dim. The light beam was given to the center of the runway.

    One by one, the models walked up in order. They were clearly wearing tight white material clothes the moment they came out. When they stepped into the light, they wore seemingly material clothes.

    At the same time, the designer¡¯s design was constantly ying on the big screen behind the model.

    Elegant evening gowns, elegant coats, long dresses that were filled with an exotic charm¡­ Clothes that condensed different styles of designers were disyed in front of everyone.

    Just as the designer had said, this was a beautiful visual feast.

    ording to the order of submission, Xia Wanyuan was thest, but she did not appear for a long time.

    Backstage, Xia Wanyuan was in a deadlock with the organizers.

    The organizers did not provide any model measurements, so Xia Wanyuan sewed it ording to the average size of the model she had estimated.

    However, before she went on stage, the organizer told her that models could not wear clothes.

    ¡°Change it,¡± Xia Wanyuan said simply.

    ¡°No, there are no more professional models. She¡¯s the only one left here.¡± The staff pointed at a female model who was 190 centimeters tall and had a healthy figure but was not thin at all.

    Such a figure waspletely different from the figures of all the models in front. Xia Wanyuan could tell that the organizers were deliberately making things difficult.

    ¡°Miss Xia, there¡¯s no choice. Who asked your design to have a problem?¡± The staff spread his hands and looked helpless. ¡°Our people in Continent O are tall, unlike you Chinese. You didn¡¯t consider the size of the model when you designed it. This isn¡¯t our problem.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked outside. It was almost her turn. She no longer pestered the staff. She picked up her clothes and walked into the changing room. The staff wanted to stop her, but she could not.

    Half a minuteter, the door to the changing room opened. As Xia Wanyuan walked out, she tied a hairpin for herself.

    The fortunate thing was that when Xia Wanyuan went out in the morning, in order to celebrate, Xia Yu strongly suggested that Xia Wanyuan wear a pair of high heels with some red essories as a prize. Now that they were in sync, they were verypatible.

    The secondst model outside had already walked onto the stage. Xia Wanyuan ignored the shocked gazes in the room and walked straight to the stage.

    On the stage, the work of the secondst designer was disyed. When it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s turn, there were no more designs.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan did not draw at all.

    As the music sounded, the curtain was pulled open and Xia Wanyuan walked out.

    The moment they saw Xia Wanyuan, the entire venue fell silent.

    The embroidery of the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens was already lifelike in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands. Now that it was worn by Xia Wanyuan, it appeared even more spiritual. As Xia Wanyuan walked, every feather of the phoenix seemed to be fluttering with the mes.

    The clothes that were as red as mes and the embroidery of the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavensbined, giving this gown a noble and domineering aura that no one dared to look at.

    What was most amazing was that Xia Wanyuan walked over quietly and actually suppressed the bright red and domineering Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens.

    The clothes in front were beautiful, but it was not amazing.

    As for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s piece, it had shocked people from the bottom of their hearts from the beginning of the embroidery technique. It was stunning and even made them gasp.

    How could a piece of clothing be so noble? That me-like red seemed to have been branded into one¡¯s heart!

    Manda looked at the clothes on Xia Wanyuan and frowned tightly. She was not like others who only paid attention to the clothes Xia Wanyuan designed. What she saw was the huge design potential on Xia Wanyuan.

    The current Chinese market was extremely important to Camellia, but Xia Wanyuan made her feel a sense of crisis from the bottom of her heart.

    Without any other words, the reactions of the judges and audience exined everything.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens¡± obtained the admission ticket to the finals with a perfect score.

    Thepetition had just ended when Xia Wanyuan became the number one trending topic on the Inte. Videos of her embroidery methods and runway show spread throughout the Inte.

    The finalpetition was in the afternoon. At this moment, the audience in the show began to leave and eat in the surrounding restaurants.

    Xia Wanyuan packed her things and came out. There were several groups of people waiting at the door.

    ¡°Hello, Mrs. Jun. Do you remember me?¡± Prince Charlie greeted Xia Wanyuan warmly. ¡°Wepeted in horse racingst year.¡±

    ¡°I remember, Prince Charlie.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at him. ¡°Long time no see.¡±

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, let me treat you to a meal. Your performance just now was really amazing. I haven¡¯t asked you for knowledge about horse racing in a long time. It¡¯s not easy to meet you this time. You must teach me more.¡± Prince Charlie, who loved horsemanship, looked at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a little busy. I can¡¯t today.¡± Xia Wanyuan only wanted to eat and rest. The embroidery in the morning was too tiring.

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Prince Charlie noticed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tired expression. ¡°Then rest well. I¡¯ll definitely treat you to a feast after thepetition.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and waved goodbye to Prince Charlie.

    In the runway, rows of bodyguards stood in the aisle. An Luo sat in his seat and looked at the runway in silence. Slowly, his frown deepened.

    <i>Overboard woman. I helped her, but she didn¡¯t even thank me.?</i>

    ¡°Hmph!¡± After a while, An Luo stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan appeared at the door. She smiled at An Luo. ¡°Thank you for helping me prepare the embroidery thread.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, who helped you?¡± An Luo refused to admit it.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired in the afternoon. I¡¯ll go back first. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal after thepetition. Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Who wants you to treat me?¡± An Luo nced at Xia Wanyuan in disdain. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat something that tastes bad. I want something delicious.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed, then turned to leave.

    In the show, a hint of joy appeared in An Luo¡¯s blue eyes and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°At least you have a conscience.¡±

    12 noon in France, 5 am in China.

    The base was brightly lit. In the meeting room, Jun Shiling and everyone were discussing the reorganization n.

    ¡°Officer, drink some water.¡± Lin Wei brought a ss of water over.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jun Shiling took the water and asked, ¡°What time is it?¡±

    ¡°Five,¡± Lin Wei replied respectfully.

    At five o¡¯clock, Jun Shiling suddenly gestured to everyone. ¡°Everyone, take a fifteen-minute break. We¡¯ll gather in the meeting room in fifteen minutes.¡±

    Then, Jun Shiling took out his phone and walked out. Lin Wei looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s instantly softened expression and knew who he was talking to.

    The call was quickly connected.

    ¡°Have you had lunch?¡± Jun Shiling asked gently.

    ¡°I¡¯m eating. I got someone to send it to the hotel.¡± Xia Wanyuan spoke to Jun Shiling as she ate.

    ¡°Don¡¯t eat and drink at the same time.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words sessfully stopped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outstretched hand.

    ¡°You¡¯re irvoyant.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Are you busy with work?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m in a meeting.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, Jun Shiling felt very empty. ¡°Eat. Stop talking. Your stomach will hurtter. I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    Okay ~¡± Xia Wanyuan switched the call into a video and finished the food in front of Jun Shiling.

    Fifteen minutes had passed. Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan reluctantly. ¡°I¡¯m going to be busy. Take good care of yourself.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and smiled with two dimples. She even waved at Jun Shiling. ¡°Goodbye, CEO Jun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s delicate appearance softened Jun Shiling¡¯s tired eyes. ¡°Bye, good luck.¡±

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan set an rm and began her lunch break. She slept soundly, but in the afternoon, many others could not sleep.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan performed so well in the morning. I¡¯m afraid there will be a problem with thepetition in the afternoon.¡± Manda spoke to Mrs. York uneasily. The lunch in front of the two of them was barely touched.

    Lady York did not look worried at all. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve arranged everything.¡±

    <i>No matter how skillful she was, how could she turn the world upside down with the worst materials??</i>

    <h4>Chapter 1014: Magical Design ps the World</h4>

    At two in the afternoon in France, it was seven in the morning in China. The morning sun woke up the sleeping people.

    When everyone habitually picked up their phones to scroll through the news, they saw overwhelming reports about Xia Wanyuan.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embroidery technique and fashion show videos swept through the foreign Inte, they swept through China again.

    Seeing the dazzling skills and almost authentic phoenix, not to mention the foreigners, even the Chinese who were quite familiar with embroidery were stunned.

    [... Every time I feel that Xia Wanyuan is already very awesome, she can always tell me that she can actually be even more awesome, right?]

    [It¡¯s so beautiful!! Red is already very noble and elegant. Coupled with that golden phoenix, it¡¯s amazing!]

    [ Immortal hands, my hands are probably chicken ws that only know how to hold rice bowls. ]

    Support our

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s extreme poprity, by the time everyone began to work, the real-time trending list on social media had already been upied by Xia Wanyuan. The domestic media timely connected to the international live-stream tform and broadcasted the designpetition to the domestic audience.

    France.

    After an afternoon nap, Xia Wanyuan was much more energetic.

    When she and Xia Yu entered the venue again, there were many more gazes on her than in the morning.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance in the morning was too eye-catching. Inparison, the audience could not remember anyone else¡¯s work at all. They only remembered the heart-warming ¡°Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored these curious or hostile gazes and found her seat.

    ......

    After the morning screening, there were only ten contestants left for the finalpetition in the afternoon. Although there were fewer of them, every designer was famous in the industry.

    Not only were more people paying attention to thepetition, but after the media fermenting in the afternoon, regardless of whether they knew anything about the fashion industry, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s magical embroidery ability was too shocking. The entire world¡¯s attention was attracted to this designpetition.

    The audience was already waiting at the show venue. Everything was ready, and the organizers signaled for thepetition to begin.

    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again. After the tensepetition in the morning, there will be ten designers participating in thepetition in the afternoon. The beautiful banquet in the morning has satisfied everyone¡¯s eyes. I believe thepetition in the afternoon will be even more exciting. Now, I announce that thepetition has officially begun! Participants, please go on stage!¡±

    As the music sounded, the ten contestants gradually walked onto the stage.

    ¡°Yesterday, the ten contestants had already chosen the materials they wanted to use.¡± After everyone stood on the stage, the host began to introduce the rules of thepetition. ¡°Staff, please hand the materials basket to the contestants.¡±

    Under normal circumstances, such a delivery process required the contestants to check the materials. However, the host today seemed to have ignored this segment and directly began to announce the theme of thepetition.

    ¡°The theme of today¡¯spetition is ¡®Color of Nature¡¯. The designing duration is still three hours. Please return to the design studio to design.¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, the contestant was brought to thepetition area by the staff.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the design studio and removed the cloth on the basket. She was stunned for a moment.

    The cloth and decorations she had chosen yesterday were not in the basket at all. It was just a piece of white cotton, and there were not even decorations.

    After the morning¡¯spetition, the person who received the most attention in the venue was Xia Wanyuan. Hence, through the electronic screen, the audience present and even the entire world saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s empty basket.

    [??? What¡¯s going on? Is there a mistake? Or did Xia Wanyuan get herself a white cloth so confidently? The topic is the color of nature. How can a white cloth design clothes that match the theme? ]

    [Is she arrogant? The people present are not child¡¯s y designers. Every one of them is famous in the fashion world. Does she think that she can rely on that embroidery to crush the audience again?]

    [ In view of our Chinese experience, neverment too early on Xia Wanyuan. After all, this woman always ps my face in all sorts of unexpected ways. ]

    The audience saw this scene too. Everyone whispered. Only Lady York, who was sitting in the second row, had a meaningful smile on her face.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the white cloth in her hand and thought for half a minute before deciding to use this.

    She was unfamiliar with this ce. Since others had changed her materials, they must have beenpletely prepared. It would be a waste of time to pester the organizer now. She might as well use this material.

    However, it was not realistic to just change the color of the embroidery. Her opponents in the same batch were all masters of design. If there were no outstanding highlights, there was no way to win thispetition.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at the outside. Thepetition area was near the sea, and the runway was designed to be half exposed to the sky. Looking at the blue sea with waves outside and the gradually setting sun, she had an idea.

    Outside, Prince Charlie looked at the situation in the arena and felt nervous for Xia Wanyuan. He did not care who was sitting beside him and muttered to himself, ¡°Why did Mrs Jun choose a white cloth? How did she design this?¡±

    ¡°What did you call her? Mrs. Jun? Which Jun?¡± He did not expect the person beside him to talk to him.

    Only then did Prince Charlie turn around and meet a pair of beautiful blue eyes. When he saw the badge on An Luo¡¯s chest, his eyes shed. ¡°So it¡¯s the young master of the Cape family.¡±

    Although Prince Charlie was from the royal family of Ennd, he was no different from an ordinary person to An Luo.

    After all, there were countless princes in Continent O, but he was the only young master of the Cape family.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t said which Jun.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re talking about that Miss Xia? Her husband is Jun Shiling from the Jun Corporation. You should know that his business is doing very well.¡± As Charlie answered An Luo¡¯s question, he was surprised that Xia Wanyuan was rted to the Cape family.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Luo snorted softly. <i>He was just a businessman. I have much more power than that Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan was actually unwilling to get a divorce. This woman¡¯s taste was not good. </i>

    Time slowly passed, and the designers¡¯ work got on track.

    As everyone had expected, Xia Wanyuan still used embroidery, but the method of embroidery was different from the one in the morning. What everyone could not understand was that Xia Wanyuan had actually embroidered severalyers on the white cloth. Oneyer of embroidery covered anotheryer, making the audiencepletely confused.

    Thestpetition could be said to be a fight between gods. The other designers were also amazing.

    Looking at the exciting design details, the audience realized that the morning¡¯spetition was like dessert. The designers only revealed their true skills at thest step.

    [ Wow,pared to the others, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design is too in. Embroidering a few flowers is called color?? And the color of that flower is strange. It¡¯s really ugly. ]

    [ Other people are much smarter than her. Other people know to hide their skills and wait for it to explode in the end, unlike her who can¡¯t hold back. Great, now there¡¯s not enough momentum. ]

    [ No wonder. I was wondering why so many masters of scheming appeared calm in the morning. It turns out that everyone is hiding their real water and waiting for thest show. They¡¯re too cunning, hahaha. Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan in trouble? ]

    The internationalizens spoke sourly, while the Chineseizens were extremely worried for Xia Wanyuan. After all, China¡¯s fashion design had never been thought highly of internationally. Everyone hoped that Xia Wanyuan could win this round on behalf of China.

    ¡°Baby, in your opinion, Xia Wanyuan shouldn¡¯t be able to win this time, right?¡± Jiang Kui could not understand these designs. He turned around and asked Zou Man, who was sitting beside him.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Zou Man had a mocking smile on her face. ¡°Her embroidery color is too strange. It can¡¯tpare to the other designers¡¯ works at all. This time, she¡¯ll definitely lose without us doing anything.¡±

    Time advanced minute by minute. Finally, at five in the afternoon, under the anticipation of the audience, the host finally returned to the stage.

    ¡°I¡¯ve made everyone wait for a long time. Now that thepetition is over, let¡¯s not talk anymore. Let¡¯s enjoy the final battle of the gods!¡±

    In thest round, there were still people who chose to show the design and 3D imaging, but there were also five contestants who chose to show off their clothes.

    The models walked onto the stage one by one and showed the audience the exquisite works of the designers.

    Beautiful clothes bloomed with their own colors on the models.

    The theme was ¡°color of nature¡±. The runway became a miniature nature, bringing the audience into the color world of the designers.

    The nine designers¡¯ works had already been disyed. When it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s turn, the person who came out was not a model, but the host.

    ¡°At the request of the designer, Xia Wanyuan from China chose to show her design to everyone from outside the venue,¡± the host said as he pointed outside the venue.

    The audience and live-stream cameras looked in the direction the host was pointing. Everyone was stunned.

    Thepetition area was near the sea. Xia Wanyuan was standing by the sea at this moment. She was wearing a blue tube dress that was the color of the sea and the sky. The angle she had chosen was very good. The white waves that constantly piled up on the shore naturally formed her skirt. One could vaguely see fish and shells swimming in the huge dress.

    She wore a crystal crown on her head and slowly walked towards the runway area. She was like a mermaid who had walked out of the sea with soul-stirring beauty.

    After being stunned, everyone was dazed. The dress in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that they had seen on the big screen just now was not like this. <i>Weren¡¯t there many flowers embroidered?!</i>

    When Xia Wanyuan walked out of the sea view, everyone was surprised to discover that her dress had changed!

    It turned out that the blue color was not the color of the dress at all, but the blue of the blue sky and sea.

    It was winter, and the ground of Continent O was covered in thick snow. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress turned back to pure white under the snow.

    At this moment, the red plum that had just been covered in blue began to show its original color.

    What was even more amazing was that the skirt that could only be seen in a circr shape earlier had begun to appear under the pure white, forming the outline of mountains and rivers.

    In the snow and ice, Xia Wanyuan stood tall, wrapped in the red plums that covered the mountains and ins, bringing people to the scenery of thousands of miles of ice and snow. The red plums stood proudly on the cliff.

    It reallyplemented the theme of ¡°colors of nature¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly walked forward. The audience was already silent. Just as everyone thought that this was the peak,

    The setting sun was coincidentally starting to change color.

    Multicolored light began to appear in the sky.

 Chapter 1015 - Gold Award Winner

    <h4>Chapter 1015: Gold Award Winner</h4>

    The fiery light not only dyed the entire sky red, but also colored Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress.

    Those red plums gradually hid their colors in the light.

    At this moment, the dress no longer needed any other decorations, so it was naturally given the most beautiful color.

    Behind Xia Wanyuan,yers of white clouds dyed the most beautiful background. Xia Wanyuan walked out of the light that filled the sky like a goddess from the Nine Heavens, wearing the most beautiful color in the Immortal World. Unknowingly, she overturned the entire mortal world.

    Xia Wanyuan finally walked onto the runway. At that moment, everyone saw that the entire white cotton surface had been embroidered with ayer of light brocade. Theyers of embroidery were not because there was a problem with the design.

    Instead, she used natural light to hide those unnecessary patterns. Once the color changed, the embroidery on the entire dress would change ordingly.

    Just like in the morning, there was no need to rate thispetition.

    Xia Wanyuan was already standing on the stage. The entire venue was still silent.

    ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± The host coughed twice. Seeing that no one reacted, he raised his voice. ¡°Everyone!¡±

    The audience finally came back to their senses.

    ¡°Everyone can start voting now,¡± the host announced ording to the process, although he felt that there was no need to vote anymore. If not for the fact that he was the host, he would have gone down to vote for Xia Wanyuan with his hands and feet.

    <i>It was too beautiful!! This was the most worth being a host in my life!</i>

    Thements in the live-stream exploded.

    [Ahhhhhhhhhh!! I can¡¯t express my shock in words!! Oh my god!]

    [ Are my eyes real? Speaking of which, what¡¯s in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s little head? Why did she think of such an awesome way to change? This is too beautiful. ]

    [ It¡¯s not just embroidery skills and design standards. In terms of fitting the theme, Xia Wanyuan is the best design here. Colors of nature. As expected, nature is the most precious color library. It¡¯s too beautiful. ]

    At the venue, before the results of thepetition were announced, Manda and Lady York had already left the venue angrily.

    Zou Man¡¯s expression was already ashen.<i>?How was that possible? How could Xia Wanyuan win like this??</i>

    ¡°Is this what you meant by definitely losing?¡± The shock in Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes was still there. He smiled. ¡°Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. No wonder Jun Shiling treats her like a treasure.¡±

    At the same time, an idea surfaced in Jiang Kui¡¯s mind.?<i>With such a matriarch in the Jun Corporation, it would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger. If only Xia Wanyuan was my wife. Such a woman was beautiful and capable. She was really the best candidate to be the matriarch.?</i>

    Zou Man was furious. She wanted to look for Jiang Kui forfort, but when she turned around, she saw Jiang Kui staring straight at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes clearly filled with conquest.

    Zou Man gritted her teeth and looked hatefully at Xia Wanyuan on the stage. The jealousy in her heart burned to the extreme.

    The oue of thepetition was obvious.

    Xia Wanyuan had won the Gold Award for this international designpetition and be the most eye-catching Gold Award winner in history.

    The venue was filled with joy. No one noticed that outside the venue, a ck car was slowly leaving.

    In the car, Yu Qian tapped his hand on hisp. ¡°That Xia Wanyuan is quite beautiful, right?¡±

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan walking out of the light, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes rippled.

    Jayce nced at Yu Qian¡¯s expression. There was no sadness or joy on Yu Qian¡¯s face, and he did not know how to reply.

    This afternoon, Yu Qian was originally discussing a business deal. Unexpectedly, halfway through the discussion, he suddenly left and got the chauffeur to drive here.

    Coincidentally, he happened to see Xia Wanyuan appear at the beach. Yu Qian got out of the car and watched Xia Wanyuan walk the entire show from afar. Only when Xia Wanyuanpletely walked into the show did Yu Qian signal the chauffeur to drive away.

    In all fairness, Jayce, who had watched the entire scene with Yu Qian, felt that the Chinese woman was indeed good-looking, so he answered tentatively, ¡°She¡¯s very beautiful.¡±

    However, Yu Qian did not speak again, as if the question just now was just him talking to himself. Jayce did not dare to speak again, and the car fell silent again.

    After thepetition ended, Xia Wanyuan was about to leave when she nced at An Luo from the corner of her eye. She saw that An Luo looked like he was saying, why are you not looking for me, didn¡¯t you want to ask me out for a meal? She was amused.

    Xia Wanyuan walked up to An Luo. ¡°I¡¯ll go backstage to pack my things. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal at the Lakeside Vi tonight.¡±

    An Luo said reluctantly, ¡°Lakeside Vi? It tastes terrible. But since you said so, okay, I¡¯ll give you face.¡±

    Prince Charlie dreamed of racing with Xia Wanyuan again. At that moment, he did not care if An Luo was from the Cape family. ¡°Mrs. Jun, I happen to be going to the Lakeside Vi for dinner tonight. What a coincidence. Why don¡¯t we go together?¡±

    An Luo nced at Prince Charlie and was about to reject him, but Xia Wanyuan had already agreed.

    <i>Hmph!?</i>

    An Luo suddenly stood up and left. Prince Charlie was a little confused, but he could not care less at this moment. ¡°Then it¡¯s a deal. See you at the Lakeside Vi!¡±

    In the backstage area, Xia Wanyuan rejected all the interviews, packed her things, and left.

    Lakeside Vi was the most famous resort hotel in France. Many celebrities gathered there.

    Tonight, the Lakeside Vi was even more lively than usual.

 Chapter 1016 - Two Cuties Fighting for Favor!

    <h4>Chapter 1016: Two Cuties Fighting for Favor!</h4>

    When Xia Wanyuan rushed to the hotel private room, Prince Charlie and An Luo were already there.

    The two of them sat opposite each other with a hint of hostility.

    ¡°You¡¯re so slow.¡± An Luo looked at Xia Wanyuan in disdain.

    ¡°We agreed on eight o¡¯clock. It¡¯s seven fifty now. I¡¯m notte.¡± Xia Wanyuan took out her phone and showed An Luo the time.

    ¡°¡­¡± An Luo pursed his lips, feeling very angry.

    Although Prince Charlie was not familiar with An Luo, from the various rumors, this child¡¯s temper was extremely strange. Furthermore, because of his high status, no one dared to offend him. Now that he saw him suffer in front of Xia Wanyuan, Prince Charlie looked at her with admiration.

    All the guests had arrived and they began to serve the dishes.

    An Luo was as picky as ever. He frowned and looked at Xia Wanyuan in disdain. ¡°This tastes bad, this tastes bad, and that tastes bad too.¡±

    On the other hand, Xia Yu was very easy to raise. After all, he had been in the training ground for nearly half a year and everything he ate now was delicious. ¡°Sister, this is delicious, this is delicious, and that is delicious too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan picked up some food for Xia Yu. ¡°Eat more.¡±

    An Luo was unhappy. ¡°You invited me to eat. Why didn¡¯t you give me food?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re picky.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know the Cape family well, and she was not afraid of An Luo. Moreover, even if she knew the Cape family, she would not lower herself in front of An Luo. ¡°Didn¡¯t you think it was not delicious?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± An Luo looked at the food in Xia Yu¡¯s bowl. ¡°Pick some for me too.¡±

    ......

    Xia Wanyuan was amused and felt that An Luo was really a child. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get it for you.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan picked up her chopsticks and picked up every dish for An Luo. Only then did An Luo eat in satisfaction.

    Prince Charlie was stunned.?<i>Why is this little brat who wants to be doted on different from the rumors about the young master of the Cape family??</i>

    Xia Yu was also stunned. He inexplicably felt that this brat was fighting for his favor.

    ¡°Sister, I want to drink some wine. Help me pour some.¡± Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the red wine and poured a small ss for Xia Yu.

    Just as she poured the wine for Xia Yu, a cup was handed to her.

    An Luo was awkward. ¡°I want it too.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re a child. You can¡¯t drink.¡± Xia Wanyuan sealed the red wine.

    This sentence seemed to have displeased An Luo. He frowned. ¡°I¡¯m not a child.¡±

    ¡°How are you not?¡± Xia Wanyuan took the fruit juice. ¡°Come, drink some fruit juice. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want it.¡±

    An Luo looked at Xia Wanyuan with his blue eyes for a while and finallypromised. He reluctantly ced the cup in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Yu was now certain that this brat was really fighting for his favor.

    <i>How could that do!! Xia Wanyuan was my sister alone!</i>

    The next meal was basically finished during the battle between Xia Yu and An Luo, while Prince Charlie watched the show quietly.

    Finally, after dinner, it was Prince Charlie¡¯s turn to speak. ¡°Mrs. Jun, there¡¯s a racetrack behind the hotel. Do you want to join us?¡±

    Prince Charlie, who only had horses in his eyes, hadpletely forgotten that it was already night.

    Xia Wanyuan was leaving on the ne tomorrow morning. Seeing how eager Prince Charlie was and how she had not ridden for a long time, Xia Wanyuan nodded and agreed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and change. I¡¯ll get the hotel to prepare the racecourse.¡±

    The lights at night in thekeside vi werepletely designed to imitate the sun. Standing in the horse farm, one would forget that it was night outside.

    After Xia Wanyuan changed and walked to the racetrack, she looked up and met someone she knew.

    ¡°Prince Charlie, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡± Lady York and Prince Charlie were both from the royal family of Ennd. In fact, the two of them were considered rtives.

    ¡°Indeed, Lady York, do you also like horse racing?¡± The York family had a high status in Ennd, so Prince Charlie spoke to Lady York with respect.

    ¡°My body can¡¯t take it anymore. I came with my niece.¡± As she spoke, Lady York waved her hand.

    Not far away, Li Qingxue, who was dressed in a ck riding outfit, walked over. She was already beautiful, and her ponytail was tied high, making her look even more valiant.

    Prince Charlie had never seen Li Qingxue before, so his eyes lit up. ¡°This is?¡±

    ¡°Hello, Prince Charlie. I¡¯m from the Sade family.¡± Li Qingxue smiled faintly.

    ¡°Hello, the Sade family?¡± Prince Charlie¡¯s eyes lit up.<i>?Why hadn¡¯t I realized that the Sade family had such a beautiful woman with Chinese blood?</i>

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, over here.¡± Prince Charlie saw Xia Wanyuan walking over from the corner of his eye and hurriedly waved at her enthusiastically. Then, he looked at Li Qingxue. ¡°Miss Sade, we¡¯re also here to ride horses. Why don¡¯t we go together?¡±

    Li Qingxue¡¯s gaze finally met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. ¡°Miss Xia, long time no see.¡±

    It was Miss Xia, not Madam Jun.

    Xia Wanyuan replied indifferently, ¡°Long time no see.¡±

    ¡°So you know each other. That¡¯s even better!¡± Prince Charlie was focused on racing and did not notice the undercurrent between the two of them.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you know how to ride a horse too?¡± Madam York looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully and said proudly, ¡°My niece has just won the championship of Continent M¡¯s youth equestrianpetition. You canpete.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Prince Charlie nced at Lady York speechlessly.

    <i>Why was the champion of the young equestrianpetition so smug here??</i>

    Not to mention an experienced equestrian like him, even the world champion would be suppressed in front of Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 1017 - Slapping Li Qingxue Little Cutie Blushed

    <h4>Chapter 1017: pping Li Qingxue Little Cutie Blushed</h4>

    ¡°Aunt, you tter me.¡± Li Qingxue smiled shyly. ¡°It¡¯s just that I like horse racing more and enjoy the process of riding. My skills are still far inferior to Prince Charlie.¡±

    Although Li Qingxue¡¯s skills were average in Prince Charlie¡¯s eyes, that was because Xia Wanyuan was in front topare. Among her peers, Li Qingxue was already very good. Prince Charlie¡¯s attitude towards her was also very good. ¡°Miss Sade, you¡¯re too humble. Why don¡¯t we do it together?¡±

    ¡°Okay, Prince Charlie.¡± Li Qingxue nced at Xia Wanyuan. Equestrianpetitions had always been a noble event.?<i>This little celebrity actually dared toe out and embarrass herself.?</i>

    At that moment, Xia Yu and An Luo, who hated each other, arrived.

    ¡°What are you wearing? You¡¯re so ugly.¡± An Luo nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s riding clothes and habitually had a poisonous tongue.

    Xia Yu was different. He said sincerely, ¡°Sister, you look good in anything.¡±

    Her white riding clothes made Xia Wanyuan look slender and heroic.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xia Yu. An Luo was unhappy again. He red at Xia Yu.<i>?Hmph, bootlicker!?</i>

    All the nobles in Continent O knew about the Cape family. Now that she saw An Luo, Mrs. York smiled and weed him. ¡°Hello, Young Master An Luo. Did youe to France alone? You didn¡¯te with your brother?¡±

    An Luo did not even look at Madam York. He sat on a chair and sulked.

    Lady York was not unhappy that An Luo had ignored her. After all, the young master of the Cape family was famous for having a strange temper. She only knew that An Luo was a guest invited by Prince Charlie and did not think that An Luo and Xia Wanyuan could be rted.

    ¡°Come, let¡¯s go.¡± Prince Charlie had been thinking about racing for a long time, and his hands were itching.

    ¡°Okay, Prince.¡± Li Qingxue smiled at Prince Charlie and walked beside him, leaving Xia Wanyuan behind.

    ......

    Prince Charlie nced to the side, but stopped and looked behind. ¡°Mrs. Jun, together.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan walked to Prince Charlie¡¯s side, Prince Charlie walked again.

    ording to the hierarchy of the Eagle Country¡¯s royal family, Li Qingxue naturally could not walk side by side with Prince Charlie. This way, she would be left behind.

    Li Qingxue looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back and felt furious.

    Filled with resentment, Li Qingxue picked her horse and swore in her heart that she would do the best she could. She threw Xia Wanyuan to the back of her mind. ¡°Come on, Miss Xia?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked the back of the horse¡¯s ear tofort it. Then, she leaped onto the horse¡¯s back and looked at Prince Charlie. ¡°Are you ready?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Prince Charlie¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Mrs. Jun ride a horse in a long time. I¡¯m lucky this time.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Prince Charlie were talking to themselves and ignoring her, Li Qingxue bit her lower lip and turned her head to grab the reins beside her.

    The three of them entered preparation mode. The staff checked the protection for them.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen my sister race before. This thing looks so dangerous. Will something happen?¡± Xia Yu was a little worried about Xia Wanyuan.

    An Luo, who was still sulking, nced at Xia Yu. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a bootlicker? Why aren¡¯t you bootlicking now?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu did not want to argue with this brat who was not as tall as him. ¡°You¡¯re so childish.¡±

    An Luo pursed his lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, anything can happen to anyone, but Xia Wanyuan will be fine.¡±

    After all, one could tell from the way she got on the horse that she was an expert.

    Xia Yu was about to ask An Luo how he knew that nothing would happen when the whistle blew. The race had already begun.

    Li Qingxue began ording to her usual actions. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew past her ear. When she looked up again, a patch of white had already floated far away, as if it was really riding the wind. It was a speed that she could notpare to.

    There were already many spectators around the racetrack. Now that thepetition had begun, everyone¡¯s attention was attracted.

    Then, everyone saw¡­

    A woman in a white riding suit rode a ck horse as if she was riding a ck lightning. She crossed obstacles without stopping and climbed up the high wall with the reins without any eleration.

    The journey was smooth and natural, filled with a soaring beauty.

    Most of the people who could eat at the Lakeside Vi were nobles who knew a little about horsemanship. Experts knew the ropes.

    Everyone eximed, ¡°Wow, which famous equestrian is practicing here??¡±

    As Prince Charlie had expected, just as he arrived at the midpoint, Xia Wanyuan had already crossed the finish line and was waiting for them.

    After a while, Prince Charlie finally arrived at the end. He looked at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes. ¡°Madam Jun, your skills have improved again. You¡¯re too amazing. Can you tell me why you can jump onto that high wall without elerating?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to speed up, but when you approach, you have to control the horse¡¯s steps¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that Prince Charlie really liked horse racing, so she was very willing to exin to him. Prince Charlie listened to Xia Wanyuan impart her experience seriously.

    Not long after, Li Qingxue arrived at the finish line on her horse. However, other than Madam York, no one else noticed her.

    In the past, every time she reached the end, there would be countless flowers and apuse. However, this time, everyone¡¯s focus was on Xia Wanyuan, and no one noticed Li Qingxue.

    Li Qingxue felt that the ¡°Champion of Continent M¡¯s Youth Equestrian Competition¡± seemed so ridiculous, as if it was mocking her for being overconfident.

    ¡°Aunt.¡± Li Qingxue¡¯s aggrieved eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Why does that Xia Wanyuan know how to ride a horse too?¡±

    ]¡±It must have been my nephew who taught her.¡± Madam York also felt that she had lost face. She had just praised Li Qingxue in front of Prince Charlie, but in the end, it ended up like this. ¡°It¡¯s all because Jun Shiling taught her well. I really can¡¯t stand her smug look.¡±

    Madam York did not know horsemanship. She could not tell how strong Xia Wanyuan was, but Li Qingxue could tell that this was not a level that she could reach just by Jun Shiling casually teaching her. She did not expect Xia Wanyuan to really have some skills.

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go back.¡± Lady York had always cared about her face. Now that such a scene happened, she felt embarrassed and turned to leave.

    Li Qingxue nced at Prince Charlie, who was surrounding Xia Wanyuan in admiration. She stomped her feet hatefully and left with Madam York.

    ¡°Wow! My sister is indeed the most amazing!¡± Xia Yu was simply stunned. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to ride so well.

    An Luo nced at him.<i>?The bootlicker is online again.?</i>

    Seeing that Prince Charlie was about to pester Xia Wanyuan non-stop, An Luo stood up and walked over. ¡°Hey, you invited me to dinner, not him. You need to chat with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was already past ten in the evening and it was time to go back. Hence, she looked at Prince Charlie. ¡°Let¡¯s stop here today. It¡¯s veryte.¡±

    Prince Charlie wanted more, but it was indeed veryte. He could only say reluctantly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you back to the hotel.¡±

    ¡°Does she need you to send her?¡± An Luo looked at Prince Charlie in disdain. ¡°I will send her.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Prince Charlie took a deep breath and reminded himself that this brat was from the Cape family and could not be provoked. In the end, he forced a smile. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first. Goodbye.¡±

    An Luo said that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to chat with him, but he was really quiet in the car. He only asionally looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hey, is Chinese food delicious?¡± In the end, An Luo could not hold it in and found a topic.

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious. You¡¯ve never eaten it before?¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze from the scenery outside the window and looked at An Luo.

    ¡°Mm,¡± An Luo replied, then seemed very awkward. ¡°There¡¯s a new chef at my house who makes Chinese food. Come and try his food for me tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow? We¡¯ll be returning to China on the ne tomorrow morning,¡± Xia Yu interrupted at the right time.

    ¡°¡­¡± An Luo looked at Xia Yu angrily.?<i>If not for Xia Wanyuan, I would have thrown this noisy person out of the car!?</i>

    ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re leaving tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that An Luo was awkwardly inviting her to eat. ¡°Thank you for your invitation. Let¡¯s eat together next time.¡±

    ¡°Who invited you? You really know how to tter yourself.¡± Coincidentally, the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel. An Luo pointed outside the car. ¡°Hurry up and get down. I¡¯m annoyed to see you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been busy the entire day and was tired. She did not argue with this arrogant child and brought Xia Yu out of the car. However, after taking a step, Xia Wanyuan stopped and turned around.

    ¡°What?¡± An Luo looked at Xia Wanyuan unhappily. ¡°Are you regretting it? You want toe to my house for dinner again. Hmph, do you think¡­¡±

    Before he could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan hooked her finger at him. ¡°Sit closer.¡±

    An Luo¡¯s cheeks puffed up, and his blue eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. However, his body still moved closer to the door honestly. ¡°What do¡­¡±

    Before he could say ¡®what do you want¡¯, An Luo was stunned.

    Because there was a warm hand on his head!

    From the first time Xia Wanyuan saw An Luo, she had been very curious about how his soft golden curly hair felt. Now that she touched it, it was indeed soft and fluffy. It felt very good, like the kitten she had raised.

    ¡°Hey! What are you doing!¡± An Luo¡¯s ss-like blue eyes widened, but his body did not move at all.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving tomorrow. Goodbye. Thank you for your help.¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand, and her dimples appeared. She waved at An Luo before turning to leave.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s figure disappeared at the entrance of the hotel that An Luo reacted. ¡°Who is she! How dare she touch my head!! Why is she so annoying!¡±

    The butler silently nced at An Luo.?<i>Young Master, if your face wasn¡¯t so red and the corners of your lips weren¡¯t so curled up, this sentence would sound more convincing.?</i>

 Chapter 1018 - Jealousy Deep Love

    <h4>Chapter 1018: Jealousy Deep Love</h4>

    When she returned to the hotel, it was already half-past eleven in the evening. Xia Wanyuan tidied up and took a shower. When shey under the nket, the hour hand was pointing to twelve.

    There were two missed calls on her phone. They had called while she was showering.

    It was five in the afternoon in China. Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling.

    The phone rang three times before someone picked up.

    ¡°I just went to take a shower. Have you eaten?¡± Xia Wanyuan had always spoken with a smile in front of Jun Shiling, making one¡¯s heart soften.

    However, the other party spoke. It was a heroic female voice. ¡°He went to take a shower. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll call himter.¡±

    ¡°Sir has a very important meeting in ten minutes.¡± This was the first time Lin Wei had heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice. It was soft and delicate, simr to the kind of woman she had imagined. She frowned slightly. Jun Shiling was so busy that he did not have time to eat or sleep every day and still had to spend time coaxing this little woman. Lin Wei felt that this person was not sensible at all.

    Xia Wanyuan could tell that this person was telling her not to disturb Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting. ¡°Got it,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied calmly and hung up.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan felt a little depressed. ¡°This person really attracts peach blossoms everywhere.¡±

    China,

    Not long after Lin Wei put down the phone, Jun Shiling came out of the lounge. ¡°Did someone call me just now?¡±

    Lin Wei¡¯s gaze flickered. ¡°Yes, she hung up after I told her about your meeting arrangements.¡±

    Jun Shiling walked over and picked up the phone. As expected, it was Xia Wanyuan who called.

    Lin Wei saw that he was about to call back. ¡°Officer, the meeting is starting in a minute.¡±

    <i>In other words, you can¡¯t call and waste time anymore.</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding the phone paused as he looked at Lin Wei with a torch-like gaze. Lin Wei could not withstand the pressure for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. I spoke too much.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re indeed being nosy.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°Postpone the meeting for ten minutes.¡±

    ¡°Off-¡± Lin Wei wanted to say something, but when she met Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze, she could only swallow her words. ¡°Yes.¡±

    After Lin Wei retreated, Jun Shiling called Xia Wanyuan.

    The call was connected. Xia Wanyuan was already lying under the nket, looking unhappy.

    ¡°I was taking a shower just now. You¡¯re back?¡± When Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan, a smile appeared on his cold face.

    ¡°I know.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°Someone just told me.¡±

    ¡°What did you eat tonight? Why are you so sour?¡± Jun Shiling smiled helplessly. ¡°That¡¯s a subordinate. It¡¯spletely a working rtionship. Don¡¯t you believe me?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± It was one thing to believe, but it was another to feel ufortable. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be in a meeting at this time? Isn¡¯t it a very important meeting?¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jealous look, Jun Shiling did not say anything, but he was very pleased. ¡°It¡¯s dyed. Nothing is more important than you.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, flowery words.¡± The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡°It¡¯s not flowery words.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan around, he could create a clear sky for her. Without Xia Wanyuan around, everything in the world had no meaning to him.

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan naturally saw the seriousness in Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and stopped throwing a tantrum. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go back tomorrow. Are you happy?¡±

    For once, Jun Shiling did not look happy when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words. He hesitated for a moment. ¡°I won¡¯t be back tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°What about the day after tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯te back.¡±

    ¡°Then when are youing back?¡±

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment. ¡°In half a month.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was really angry now. ¡°Then CEO Jun, you¡¯re amazing.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there are too many things to do here. I¡¯ll try to go back early.¡± Jun Shiling felt guilty. The matter in the southwest was much moreplicated than he had imagined. It could not be resolved in a short time.

    ¡°I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Xia Wanyuan was used to being pampered by Jun Shiling. She had been out for so many days and missed Jun Shiling very much. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would actually tell her that he could only go back in half a month? Xia Wanyuan felt extremely wronged.

    ¡°Don¡¯t.¡± Jun Shiling sighed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, baby. I¡¯ll try to go back early.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m hanging up. Go to your meeting.¡± Xia Wanyuan was unhappy. She hung up and threw her phone aside.

    After looking forward to it for a few days, she was finally able to go home. In the end, Jun Shiling did not return. Xia Wanyuan was very disappointed.

    After Xia Wanyuan hung up, there was arge group of people waiting in the meeting room. Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message and turned off his phone to head to the meeting room.

    Xia Wanyuany under the nket for a while and calmed down. She felt that she shouldn¡¯t have hung up on Jun Shiling just now.

    She had been in charge for so many years in her previous life, so she naturally knew how difficult it was to reorganize her forces. It was definitely not something that could be resolved in a few days. In fact, it was extraordinarily fast to resolve everything in half a month.

    Xia Wanyuan reached for her phone. It was a WeChat message from Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling:<i>?I¡¯m sorry, give me ten days.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan felt even more guilty. What could he do in ten days? It would pass in the blink of an eye, yet Jun Shiling had to use these ten days toplete the reorganization of the southwest forces. Such a difficult thing might not even bepleted by Xia Wanyuan herself.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed. ¡°Stupid, don¡¯t you know that a woman¡¯s temperes and goes?¡±

    However, once Jun Shiling had a meeting, Xia Wanyuan had no way of contacting him again. She could only cover herself with the nket and prepare to sleep. She would look for Jun Shiling when she woke up tomorrow.

    The morning sun woke up Laos. It was midnight in China.

    Xia Wanyuan did not sleep well in the first half of the night and only fell asleep in the second half. Only when Xia Yu knocked on the door did Xia Wanyuan wake up in a daze.

    ¡°Sister, it¡¯s time! Why aren¡¯t you up yet!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m up.¡± Xia Wanyuan hurriedly got up and ignored the missed call on her phone.

    In the base, Jun Shiling called three times but no one picked up. His expression darkened.

    ¡°Officer, go and rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow.¡± Lin Wei walked over with a ss of warm water.

    Jun Shiling nced at his phone. The call was still unanswered. He looked at Lin Wei. ¡°Change my schedule. Change the rest time to three hours. Move all the other ns forward.¡±

    Lin Wei was shocked. ¡°But you won¡¯t be able to take it.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Change it.¡± Jun Shiling did not say it twice. No matter how worried Lin Wei was, she could only do as Jun Shiling said.

    Xia Wanyuan only saw Jun Shiling¡¯s call after getting on the ne.

    ¡°Sister, will Brother-inw pick us up?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unhappy expression, Xia Yu leaned over.

    ¡°No, he won¡¯t be returning to Beijing for the time being.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at her phone thoughtfully. ¡°Do you know where Jun Shiling works?¡±

    Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips. ¡°Sister, ording to the rules, I can¡¯t say this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked over. ¡°You can¡¯t tell me either?¡±

    Xia Yu hesitated for a moment.?<i>With how much Jun Shiling doted on my sister, if I revealed the information, Jun Shiling would not me me, right??</i>

    Hence, Xia Yu hardened his heart and whispered an address into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t tell me you want to look for Brother-inw?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    Xia Yu shook his head like a rattle. ¡°No, no. Brother-inw must be very happy to see you. When are we going?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not going. Stay in the manor with Xiao Bao.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu looked like he was about to cry. ¡°Alright.¡±

    Boohoo, I had been abandoned by his sister.

    More than ten hourster, the nended at the Beijing airport. However, only Xia Yu left the airport. Soon, the ne flew from Beijing to a base hidden in the mountains in the southwest.

    It was already night when the ne arrived at the southwest base. Looking down from the ne, there were no more prosperous lights. There was only a darkness that could swallow people.

 Chapter 1019 - Late Night Surprise

    <h4>Chapter 1019: Late Night Surprise</h4>

    Ever since he arrived, Jun Shiling¡¯s schedule had basically been reversed. Finally, he ended a five-hour meeting.

    ¡°Officer, go and rest.¡± Lin Wei¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with worry. No matter how strong Jun Shiling¡¯s body was, he could not withstand such high-intensity consumption.

    And all of this was because of that little woman. She really could not understand why Jun Shiling, who was so capable, would dy the important matters because of love.

    ¡°No need. Go and rest. I¡¯ll watch for a while more,¡± Jun Shiling said as he walked into themand room.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Lin Wei followed Jun Shiling.

    However, Jun Shiling had only taken a few steps when his phone rang. Xia Wanyuan had shared a real-time location with him.

    This real-time location was two kilometers away from him.

    Jun Shiling instantly stopped in his tracks and strode out the door.

    Lin Wei did not know what had happened and hurriedly followed him out. However, Jun Shiling walked extremely quickly and got into the car in the blink of an eye. A stream of exhaust smoke floated past and the SUV had already driven far away.

    ¡°What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Lin Wei murmured and turned to return to themand center.

    At the airport, Xia Wanyuan was surrounded by a group of people.

    ¡°Miss, please show your identification. Otherwise, we will transfer you to the relevant institution.¡± This ce had always been closed to civilian nes, but tonight, this nended.

    ¡°This is my pass. The person who ising to pick me up will be here soon,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she took out the pass Xia Yu had given her.

    ¡°This pass belongs to the cheetah team. What¡¯s your code name in the cheetah team?¡±

    Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, a light suddenly came from the night sky. An off-road vehicle was driving towards them through the darkness.

    When the people around saw the SUV¡¯s license te, they could not help but make way for it.

    The SUV roared over and finally stopped in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling walked out of the car in a ck coat with a cold aura.

    Seeing Jun Shiling, everyone hurriedly put away their weapons and said respectfully, ¡°Officer.¡±

    Jun Shiling waved his hand behind him and stared straight at Xia Wanyuan. He strode forward and grabbed her hand. ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled the luggage beside her over. Jun Shiling nced at her. In the end, he carried the luggage with one hand and pulled Xia Wanyuan with the other as they left the airport.

    Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold expression.

    He was angry.

    About ten minutester, the SUV entered a building hidden in the forest. Jun Shiling got out of the car and took out the box. He silently held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked into the house.

    Hearing footsteps, Lin Wei came out to wee him ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    Then, she saw Jun Shiling walk in with a cold expression. Behind him was an extremely beautiful woman.

    That woman was so beautiful that in the dark night, the entire room seemed to be illuminated by her beauty. Lin Wei stopped in her tracks. ¡°Officer, who is this?¡±

    However, Jun Shiling had no intention of stopping. He pulled Xia Wanyuan back to the lounge.

    After entering the house, Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re hurting me.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling let go. He looked down and saw that there was no red mark on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist at all. Jun Shiling nced at her and turned to put the box away.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and went forward to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°Why? Are you so unhappy to see me?¡±

    Jun Shiling seemed to be unable to hold it in anymore. He pried Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand away and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with anger. ¡°Nonsense. Do you know how dangerous it is for ordinary people to barge in here? If I¡¯m not here, what if something happens to you?¡±

    This was the core of the entire southwest region. The protective measures were extremely good. Fortunately, he was here today. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    ¡°I¡¯m not stupid. I asked Xia Yu for your location beforeing over. I have the pass Xia Yu gave me.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you work so hard. I want toe and help you.¡±

    Jun Shiling was still angry. The scene of Xia Wanyuan being aimed at by so many people at the airport was still in his mind.

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan hade because she was worried about him. If it had been Xia Wanyuan fighting alone at the base today, he would havee to find her regardless of everything. However, he was still afraid because of what had just happened.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me before? I could have arranged it for you.¡±

    ¡°You won¡¯t agree.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling well. If she told him in advance, Jun Shiling would not agree no matter what.

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. Xia Wanyuan was right. It was too tiring here. If he had known in advance, he would not have agreed to Xia Wanyuaning here.

    ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t want to see me so much, I¡¯ll leave.¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to leave, but Jun Shiling pulled her back.

    The scorching aura pressed down with many days of intense longing. Xia Wanyuan almost could not take it. Only when she could not breathe did Jun Shiling retreat a little. ¡°Now, you¡¯re still saying that I don¡¯t want to see you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and secretly smiled. ¡°CEO Jun, you might miss me a lot.¡±

    ¡°Might?¡± Jun Shilingughed in anger.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled with two dimples, her eyes shining. ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡±

    Jun Shiling pushed open the door. Lin Wei was standing outside. Seeing hime out, Lin Wei wanted to say something but hesitated.

    ¡°Is something wrong?¡±

    Lin Wei made up her mind. ¡°Officer, isn¡¯t it inappropriate for an unrted woman to appear here?¡±

    ¡°What did I fail to do?¡±

    ¡°No, you did very well.¡± Lin Wei lowered her head.

    It was not even an exaggeration to say that Jun Shiling was the most courageous and capable leader she had ever seen.

    ¡°Tell me this when I¡¯m not doing my duties properly,¡± Jun Shiling said and walked straight to the canteen.

    Behind him, Lin Wei had nothing to say, but she still felt that it was not appropriate for Jun Shiling to bring the woman here. She looked at the lounge and frowned.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling returned with a set of food.

    Pushing open the door, Xia Wanyuan was packing the clothes in the luggage. Seeing Xia Wanyuan put the clothes into his cab one by one, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze darkened.

    ¡°Come and eat.¡±

    Oh, okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her work and sat beside Jun Shiling, letting him feed her spoonful by spoonful.

    In all fairness, the quality of the food here was very average. At most, it was filling. However, Xia Wanyuan had already finished eating.

    ¡°I¡¯m so tired.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep for a while.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t sleep here. Go to the back of the base. There¡¯s a reception room there.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to stop Xia Wanyuan.

    There was no bed in the lounge originally. It was only used for a short rest. However, this ce was close to themand room, so Jun Shiling rested here day and night.

    Other than a rtively hard bed, there was nothing else in the lounge. The conditions were too harsh. Jun Shiling could live here himself, but he did not want Xia Wanyuan to live here.

    Xia Wanyuan tilted her head. ¡°What about you? Where are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m here. It¡¯s close here. The sooner I¡¯m done, the sooner I can apany you back.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll be here too. Do your work. I want to sleep.¡± Although her life had be more pampered aftering to the modern world, it was not as if Xia Wanyuan had never lived in a more difficult ce. As she spoke, she took off her shoes andy under the nket.

    Although the bed was very hard and the nket was not soft, the pine fragrance around Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel very at ease. This was much more important than afortable living environment.

 Chapter 1020 - Im Cold Without You

    <h4>Chapter 1020: I¡¯m Cold Without You</h4>

    A long journey was the easiest to tire one out. After running around for the entire day, Xia Wanyuan was tired and sleepy. Lying on the bed with Jun Shiling¡¯s aura beside her, she fell asleep easily.

    Jun Shiling walked forward and covered her with the nket. Then, he lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead before walking out again.

    Lin Wei and two other subordinates stood outside the door, holding documents in their hands as they waited for Jun Shiling to sign.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling gently closed the door and led his men to themand room.

    The missions had been assigned, and Jun Shiling had to check the situation of the people in charge of the various districts every day.

    Jun Shiling seemed to be in a much better mood than usual today. The coldness on his body seemed to have melted a little. Sitting on the high tform, one¡¯s heart could not help but stir.

    Zhou Hui secretly nced at Lin Wei and saw that she was focused on Jun Shiling on the stage. He sighed in his heart. ¡°Little Wei.¡±

    Support our

    Zhou Hui was Lin Wei¡¯s elder. He usually followed the rules and called Lin Wei Leader in front of others. He only called her Little Wei in private.

    ¡°Uncle Zhou, please speak.¡± Lin Wei retracted her gaze and looked at Zhou Hui.

    ¡°I know that you¡¯ve always been a proud girl. Your father introduced you to so many outstanding youths, but you didn¡¯t take a fancy to them. To be honest, I¡¯ve never seen such an outstanding person like this officer in all my years.¡± Zhou Hui slowly reasoned with Lin Wei. ¡°But he already has a family.¡±

    When he said thest sentence, Lin Wei¡¯s eyes wavered. She looked up. ¡°Uncle Zhou, I understand what you mean. You don¡¯t have to say anymore.¡±

    With that, Lin Wei looked at Jun Shiling, who was not far away, with admiration and sadness in her eyes.

    She had always grown up in the camp and rarely interacted with the outside world. When Jun Shiling first arrived, she really thought that this was fate bestowed on her by the heavens. However, she did not expect Jun Shiling to already have a wife.

    ......

    Zhou Hui noticed Lin Wei¡¯s gaze and shook his head. He knew very well that love was the most roundabout thing. Even the usually decisive Lin Wei could not be refined.

    Young people had to hit the south wall to know how painful it was.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up, the sky was still dark. She took her phone and saw that it was already past four in the morning.

    The nket beside her was still as t as before, which meant that Jun Shiling had not rested until now.

    Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket, took Jun Shiling¡¯s coat, and draped it over herself before walking out of the room.

    It waste at night and everyone was resting. The corridor was very quiet, and only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle footsteps could be heard.

    ¡°Miss, are you looking for the officer?¡± A young man¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around. Not far away was a thin and tall man in a uniform and hat, looking at Xia Wanyuan curiously.

    ¡°Yes, where is he?¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. Her skin was as fair as jade, and her eyes were clear. She was even more beautiful than the fairy in the sketchbook. The young man was stunned and subconsciously pointed at themand room. ¡°Themander is over there.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan thanked him and walked towards themand room.

    In the hugemand room, the crowd had already dispersed, leaving only Jun Shiling sitting on the high tform and constantly analyzing the data on the screen. His hand kept typing on theputer.

    Lin Wei was also sitting not far away, quietly looking at the documents in her hand. She was a little tired from reading. She looked up and happened to see Xia Wanyuan walking towards themand room. Lin Wei frowned and stood up.

    ¡°Officer, let me pour you some tea.¡± Lin Wei walked to Jun Shiling with the kettle and bent down to pour water for him. Jun Shiling was focused on the map on the screen and did not notice the situation beside him.

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the door and saw that there were only Jun Shiling and Lin Wei in the hugemand room. From her angle, Lin Wei and Jun Shiling were extremely close, as if they were whispering.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and adjusted her coat before walking over.

    Jun Shiling heard footsteps, but he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to wake up now. Hence, he remained focused on his world until a familiar fragrance came from the tip of his nose.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± When Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan, his eyes were filled with warmth. He reached out to her, and Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on it. Lin Wei, who was originally standing beside Jun Shiling, could only retreat.

    The night was cold, and there was no floor heater here. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands were cold. Jun Shiling ced her hands in his arms. Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and looked at the map on the big screen. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    Jun Shiling took the remote control and changed the map on the big screen to the one in the southwest. He exined it to Xia Wanyuan from the beginning as if he was Wikipedia.

    Lin Wei nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was leaning on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. The dissatisfaction in her eyes was about to materialize. However, looking at Jun Shiling again, he looked like he was letting her do whatever she wanted. He even told Xia Wanyuan so many secrets.

    Unable to stand it anymore, Lin Wei walked out of themand room.

    ¡°Hey, Leader, why are you out?¡± The subordinate on duty saw Lin Wei¡¯s unhappy expression and his heart skipped a beat, afraid that he had provoked her again.

    ]However, Lin Wei did not say a word and walked out of themand center with a cold expression. The subordinate nced into themand room from afar and understood.

    <i>The jealous lover had flipped over. </i>

    Xia Wanyuan learned quickly, and Jun Shiling¡¯s exnation all captured main point. About an hourter, Xia Wanyuan roughly understood the situation here.

    Xia Wanyuan knew what was going on. She nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s bloodshot eyes. ¡°CEO Jun, how long have you not slept?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand paused for a moment. He could not remember it himself. ¡°Go and sleep for a while more. I¡¯ll finish sorting these things.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s cor, her dimples appearing. ¡°Without you, I¡¯m cold.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling was speechless. No matter what other tone Xia Wanyuan used on him, he would not surrender so quickly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll lie down with you for a while.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and allowed Jun Shiling to hug her back to the lounge.

    The lounge was cold. There was no heater here, and the conditions were worlds apart from the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan crawled under the nket. The cold bedsheets looked like they had just been picked up from the snow. The moment she touched the nket, she shivered from the cold. ¡°CEO Jun,e quickly. It¡¯s so cold.¡±

    Jun Shiling lifted the nket and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was a warm furnace and immediately wrapped her hands and feet around him.

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair with heartache. ¡°Can I send you back tomorrow? It¡¯s cold here.¡±

 Chapter 1021 - The Cute Princess CEO Jun

    <h4>Chapter 1021: The Cute Princess CEO Jun</h4>

    It was already the cold season, and they were in the mountains. Even he found the dark night unbearable, let alone Xia Wanyuan, who was already afraid of the cold.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head, her furry hair rubbing against Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°If you send me back, I¡¯ll ignore you.¡±

    It was precisely because it was difficult here that she did not want Jun Shiling to be here alone. Though she was not familiar with the southwest region.

    since ancient times, the changes in power had always been connected. It was just that the environment had changed. With her by his side, Jun Shiling would always be more rxed.

    Jun Shiling also knew why Xia Wanyuan was staying here. He tightened his arms and pulled Xia Wanyuan closer. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t send you back. Sleep.¡±

    ¡°Then you¡¯re not allowed to get up early.¡± Xia Wanyuan saw Jun Shiling¡¯s n.<i> Sleep three hours a day? Does this man think he¡¯s made of iron? </i>Seeing that Jun Shiling did not respond, Xia Wanyuan softened her voice. ¡°If you leave, I¡¯ll be cold ~¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°I won¡¯t get up.¡±

    Other than at a special moment, Jun Shiling kept his promises very well.

    This sleep was not long, only five hours, but it was already a rare good sleep for Jun Shiling. The morning sunlight shone into the house through the window.

    Jun Shiling opened his eyes. A ray of sunlightnded on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, ting her curled eyshes with ayer of golden light.

    Her eyshes fluttered twice, then a pair of eyes filled with morning dew opened. The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Morning.¡±

    After a while, Jun Shiling turned around and got out of bed. He did not care that the ground was as cold as ice. He even stood on it barefoot and used the cold of the floor to pour on his boiling blood.

    Xia Wanyuan panted under the nket, revealing a pair of smiling eyes. ¡°CEO Jun, your self-control is still so bad.¡±

    ......

    Jun Shiling took the clothes and put them on, then went forward to help Xia Wanyuan put on her clothes. ¡°How many days have I not seen you?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just that your self-control is bad.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat obediently and let Jun Shiling help her put on her socks. Jun Shiling reached out and scratched her feet, causing Xia Wanyuan to fall into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms with a smile.

    Outside the lounge, Lin Wei, who had wanted to send Jun Shiling breakfast, raised her hand. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard bell-likeughter inside. Lin Wei retracted her hand and turned to leave.

    ¡°Are you going to a meeting today?¡± There was no heater in the base, and Xia Wanyuan was surrounded by Jun Shiling. She was like a white bear, making her face look even smaller.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling put on his gloves for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Listen at the side for a day and familiarize yourself with the situation first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Her eyes were filled with the morning sunlight, bright and moving.

    There were not many people in themand center. Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out. Along the way, Jun Shiling would patiently introduce people to Xia Wanyuan.

    Soon, the entiremand center knew that the mysteriousmander had an extremely beautiful wife who was doted on!

    Themand room was still a remote meeting. Xia Wanyuan sat in an inconspicuous position below the stage and listened seriously to Jun Shiling and the other forces discuss the situation in the southwest.

    Two hours passed, and the people on the screen had changed. Jun Shiling drank a mouthful of water and began a new round of battle.

    Xia Wanyuan supported her chin with her hand and looked seriously at Jun Shiling on the stage.

    Jun Shiling was wearing a ck coat, making his cold aura even heavier. His handsome facial features were even more obvious under the brim of the hat.

    A man was most charming when he guided the country and stirred up power. The decisiveness, confidence, and arrogance that came from his bones could not help but attract people.

    Jun Shiling seemed to have sensed something and nced at Xia Wanyuan. When he met her admiring gaze, Jun Shiling stopped writing and quickly returned to normal, not letting anyone notice.

    Sunlight shone in through the window. Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan after speaking for a while. Every time, he could receive Xia Wanyuan¡¯s warm smile.

    Although Jun Shiling did not look surprised, every time, a new strength was injected into because of this smile.

    Beijing Hospital.

    Bo Xiao¡¯s injuries were much better than before and he could sit up on the bed.

    Bo Xiao was in the intensive care unit and originally did not know anything about the outside world. However, when Xia Yu heard about his situation, he came to visit him.

    Xia Yu could not hide anything from the cunning Bo Xiao. Although he guarded an important secret and did not let go, he had leaked the fact that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were in the southwest.

    Bo Xiao instantly thought of the map of the southwest that he had given out. Jun Shiling was filling in the gaps for him.

    The deployment of power in the various regions in the southwest was soplicated. It waspletely heaven-defying topletely change them in a short time.

    Bo Xiao sighed. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault.¡±

    ¡°Brother Bo, don¡¯t me yourself too much.¡± Xia Yu carefully handed Bo Xiao a peeled apple.

    ¡°Is An Rao okay?¡± Bo Xiao took the apple and looked at Xia Yu.

    ¡°She¡¯s fine. Miss An¡¯s stomach is getting more and more obvious.¡± Xia Yu grinned. ¡°You¡¯ll see her after you recover. Miss An misses you very much.¡±

    Bo Xiao took a bite of the apple and did not taste anything sweet. ¡°Mm.¡±

    After he recovered, he did not know if he would have the chance to see An Rao again.

    The day he recovered was also the day of judgment.

    Bo Xiao was still a key personnel being guarded. The visiting hours was very short. Soon, Xia Yu would leave.

    ¡°Then Brother Bo, rest well. I¡¯ll tell Miss An that you miss her very much.¡±

    Thank you.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fox-like eyes curved up. Looking at the now tall and straight Xia Yu, his eyes lit up.

    <i>In thisnd, there would always be fresh blood invested. There would always be young bodies protecting this country. How good. </i>

    No matter the oue of the trial, he happily epted it.

    After Xia Yu heard about Bo Xiao, he had been secretly worried. Now that he finally saw Bo Xiao and confirmed that Bo Xiao was in good condition, Xia Yu felt relieved.

    He still remembered the scene of Bo Xiaoing against the light and reaching out to him at the door at the camp.

    What he saw was not only Bo Xiao, who hade to save him, but also the faith engraved in Bo Xiao¡¯s soul.

    No matter what the outside world said about Bo Xiao, he always believed what he felt.

    Fortunately, he did not sense any unfamiliarity from Bo Xiao just now. Bo Xiao still had a familiar aura.

    Xia Yu rxed and hummed as he walked on the street. He passed by a bus stop and suddenly stopped.

 Chapter 1022 - Couple Hall Lend Me Your Arm

    <h4>Chapter 1022: Couple Hall Lend Me Your Arm</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    A week ago, Xia Yu had left China with Xia Wanyuan. After returning to China, he was worried about Bo Xiao. In addition, he had to take care of Xiao Bao and had no time to understand what had happened outside.

    Now that he saw the publicity for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new movie, Dark Night, on the bus stop, Xia Yu remembered that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie had been released in China four days ago.

    ¡°I definitely have to support Sister¡¯s movie.¡± Xia Yu found the nearest cinema.

    However, when Xia Yu walked into the theater and saw the long line in front of ¡°Dark Night¡±, he was stunned.

    Xia Yu walked to the side and asked the staff if there were any extra tickets.

    In the end, the staff looked at him as if he was a fool. ¡°You still want to buy tickets to ¡®Dark Night¡¯ on the spot? Don¡¯t even think about it. You can only buy tickets for three dayster now!¡±

    ¡°Huh? So popr?¡± Xia Yu was a straight man who only liked to watch sci-fi fighting movies. To him, anything without special effects and spectacr scenery was not a blockbuster. ¡°I remember that ¡®Dark Night¡¯ is not a sci-fi blockbuster, right?¡±

    ¡°Sigh, this is really strange.¡± The staff had been so busy since the movie was released that he did not have time to watch the movie. He could not understand it himself. ¡°In the past, it was only indeed a sci-fi movie that could sell for a high box office, but ¡®Dark Night¡¯ can be considered to have created a miracle. The audience went in with a smile and came out crying.¡±

    While the staff was talking, a movie ended in a theater beside them. The audience walked out one after another, crying.

    There was even a 1.9-meter-tall gangster with a green dragon and white tiger tattoo. His eyes were filled with tears as he wiped them with his sleeve.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Yu was stunned.?<i>Brother, is your tear-stained face worthy of your green dragon and white tiger tattoo?</i>

    ¡°Sigh, when my shift is over, I have to watch this movie too. How can you move people so much? Handsome, I advise you to go back. You definitely won¡¯t be able to buy tickets today.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Since he could not buy a ticket, Xia Yu did not insist and turned to leave.

    ¡°Little neighbor, are you watching a movie?¡± A clear female voice sounded in front of him. Xia Yu looked up and met Jiang Yun¡¯s clear eyes.

    Xia Yu¡¯s ears turned red and he replied unnaturally, ¡°Mm, unfortunately, I can¡¯t buy tickets.¡±

    Jiang Yun waved the movie tickets in her hand. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, let¡¯s watch it together? Take it as thanks for saving me at the entrance of the supermarketst time.¡±

    Xia Yu was young and could not hide anything in his eyes. There was obvious joy. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jiang Yun nced at the counter beside her and handed the movie tickets to Xia Yu. ¡°Take them first. I¡¯ll buy a bottle of water.¡±

    By the time Jiang Yun returned with two bottles of water, Xia Yu was already red.

    Jiang Yun was amused by his expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you very hot?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Yu lowered his eyes and blinked. Jiang Yun wanted to touch it. ¡°Your movie ticket is for the couple hall.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yun was stunned. She took the movie ticket and took a look.?<i>It was true.</i>

    How could Jiang Kui bear to let her be idle? Seeing that Jun Shiling was not in Beijing, Jiang Kui asked Father Jiang to arrange a blind date for her.

    The other party was a rich third generation who knew how to y. Romantic things like flowers, diamonds, and movie tickets came easily.

    After the two of them finished eating, the rich third-generation heir bought a movie ticket. Unexpectedly, he received a call halfway and ran away after saying that he had something on at hispany.

    Jiang Yun was a smart person. How could she not tell that there was a fire in the backyard? However, Jiang Yun could not be bothered to argue. She was about to throw the movie tickets away when she saw a familiar back. It was Xia Yu.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the couple hall?¡± Jiang Yun smiled. The diamond earrings by her ears shone brightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    With that, Jiang Yun walked into the theater with the tickets. Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and could only follow.

    The couple hall was really worthy of its name. The ¡°narrow¡± sofa could barely amodate two people.

    The movie ¡°Dark Night¡± was extremely popr and the theater was filled with people. Xia Yu could not find an empty seat even if he wanted to. He could only bite the bullet and sit on the other side of the sofa.

    Jiang Yun walked over and saw Xia Yu, who was almost sticking to the wall like a gecko. She smiled and shook her head.?<i>That rich third generation wanted to touch me with just a few words. Inparison, the young Xia Yu was too cute.?</i>

    No matter how close they were to each other, there would not be much distance between the two of them. Jiang Yun sat beside Xia Yu, bringing with her the smell of mature perfume.

    The movie had not begun and all sorts of advertisements were ying.

    There were many people in the theater, and with the heater on, the temperature rose immediately. Jiang Yun took off her coat and revealed a white suit.

    Looking at Xia Yu, who was blushing under the dim light, Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes flickered.

    She could naturally tell that this young man liked her, but she had never liked this kind of child.

    However, for some reason, seeing Xia Yu¡¯s eyes clearly filled with her, but he did not even dare to touch her, Jiang Yun was actually a little tempted.

    To a female CEO, execution was everything. If there were any benefits, she had to fight for them. If she was tempted, she had to take action.

    ¡°Xia Yu?¡± Jiang Yun was used to being domineering, and her words had a hint ofmand.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Yu turned around. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jiang Yun pointed at a couple sitting beside her. The boy wrapped his arm around the girl¡¯s shoulder from behind and she leaned on his arm. ¡°The sofa is too hard. Help me block it.¡±

 Chapter 1023 - The Little Puppys Counterattack

    <h4>Chapter 1023: The Little Puppy¡¯s Counterattack</h4>

    At that moment, a male voice in the advertisement screamed and covered Jiang Yun¡¯s voice.

    Xia Yu leaned closer to Jiang Yun. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were very exquisite, making him look even more charming under the dim light. Jiang Yun pulled Xia Yu¡¯s hand and ced it on the back of the chair behind her.

    Then, she leaned on Xia Yu¡¯s arm.

    At that moment, Jiang Yun and Xia Yu were already sitting together. Jiang Yun turned around and smelled the clean smell ofundry detergent on Xia Yu. Her red lips parted slightly. ¡°I said, let me lean on your arm.¡±

    At this moment, the opening music had already sounded in the theater. After Jiang Yun finished speaking, she turned around and focused on the big screen.

    As for Xia Yu, he froze.

    Jiang Yuny on his arm as if he was half hugging her. He was so close to Jiang Yun that he could see her distinct eyshes.

    Xia Yu felt as if he was on fire. His face waspletely red, and his right hand no longer seemed to be his. He was so stiff that he did not know what to do.

    The movie had already begun. Seeing Jiang Yun¡¯s calm expression, Xia Yu could only turn around and stare nkly at the big screen in front of him. All his senses were focused on the right side of his body.

    Xia Yu thought that this would be a very long two hours.

    But soon, he was brought into the world of ¡°Dark Night¡±.

    The exciting and nervous music approached step by step. In the endless snow, a few ck people were scattered.

    ......

    A group of well-trained professional killers blocked a woman in ck tights by the cliff.

    The camera gradually advanced. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a ck leather jacket and her hair was tied up high. Her eyes were even colder than the snow.

    ¡°Snow Fox, are you going to betray the organization?¡± The leader looked at the most outstanding killer in the team with killing intent shing across his eyes.

    ¡°Today, either you die or I die,¡± Snow Fox said, and wisps of white gas moistened her eyes.

    There was no need to say anything more.

    Gunshots sounded, but Snow Fox was faster than the bullets.

    In the snowy night, Snow Fox fought with everyone. Her straightforward actions brought with them a murderous aura that had an extremely powerful beauty.

    After a while, the snow stopped falling and the rest were defeated by Snow Fox. The leader hardened his heart and jumped down the cliff with her.

    The main film began.

    The background music became extremely calm and happy.

    Beside the clear streamy Snow Fox who had fallen from the mountain.

    She slowly opened her eyes. Those eyes that had been murderous half a minute ago were now like the softest clouds in the blue sky.

    It was innocent and untainted.

    She sat up and looked not far away. Thend was t and the houses were neat. There were fertile fields, beautiful pools, and fallen flowers and mulberry bamboo.

    This was a small vige isted from the world.

    Snow Fox walked into the vige with her wound. The people in the vige sensed this outsider and were curious and vignt.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this main lead¡¯s acting skills to be quite good.¡± Xia Yu was watching seriously when Jiang Yun suddenly leaned closer.

    The smell of perfume lingered around his nose, and Xia Yu¡¯s head was empty.

    He turned around and saw Jiang Yun looking at him with her beautiful phoenix eyes. Xia Yu nodded. ¡°She acted very well.¡±

    The silently nodding Xia Yu made Jiang Yun feel that he was very obedient for no reason. He did not have the perfume or tobo smell of a mature man on him, only a clean and sunny smell.

    It was like the lime water with an ice cube that she liked to drink. It was astringent and refreshing, making one feel happy.

    Jiang Yun suddenly felt a little thirsty.

    Jiang Yun kept staring at him, and Xia Yu did not know what to do. His arm, which he had neglected because he was watching a movie, weighed a thousand pounds.

    Xia Yu moved his arm slightly and pursed his lips. ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s a little cold in the theater. Do you want to wear a coat?¡±

    Jiang Yun shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s not cold. On the contrary, I¡¯m very hot.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Xia Yu felt a little awkward. He subconsciously bit his lower lip and blushed again.

    Looking at Xia Yu¡¯s shy expression, Jiang Yun¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    She had been sent to America since she was ten years old. Although she was a woman, she had relied on her swift and decisive methods to pull down countlesspetitors and expand the Jiang family¡¯s market overseas. She had countless ambitious people under her.

    All of this relied on her decisiveness and execution.

    Now, Jiang Yun had an impulse.

    To her, if she had an impulse, she would implement it in the next second.

    Hence, ¡°Xia Yu.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Yu looked at Jiang Yun. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jiang Yun waved at Xia Yu. ¡°Come closer.¡±

    Xia Yu thought that Jiang Yun could not hear him, so he leaned forward.

    ]Then, a fragrant wind blew and a burning sensationnded on his lips.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes widened and his body instantly stiffened. He looked at Jiang Yun in shock.

    The corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she blinked at him. ¡°Close your eyes and open your mouth.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Yu was stunned.

    Jiang Yun took a bite and Xia Yu subconsciously opened his mouth.

    Then, in the following time, Xia Yu did not know where he was or what he was doing.

    After some time, Jiang Yun retreated a little andy on Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder, panting slightly.

    <i>The little kid was really quite sweet. </i>

    ¡°You...¡± Xia Yu clenched his fists nervously, not daring to look at Jiang Yun¡¯s face.

    Jiang Yun leaned on Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t you like me?¡±

    Although Xia Yu was shy, he did not like to lie, especially in the current atmosphere. Xia Yu nodded gently. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°Then are you unhappy that I kissed you?¡±

    She had never liked anyone. Although this little friend was not her type in all aspects, it did not stop her from feeling that he was a little cute.

    Xia Yu nodded, but then shook his head.

    He was happy, but he felt that something was wrong. Xia Yu finally mustered the courage to look at Jiang Yun on his shoulder. ¡°Then are you going to be my girlfriend?¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s question stunned Jiang Yun. She did not expect Xia Yu to ask so directly.

    <i>How could the daughter of the Jiang family have the right to find a boyfriend?</i>

    Jiang Yun seemed to have suddenly woken up and sat up straight. ¡°We can do everything between lovers, but not status.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yun felt that she had gone overboard. She did not know why she had been bewitched and kissed him just now. Now, she seemed to be deceiving people¡¯s feelings.

    ¡°Why?¡± To Jiang Yun¡¯s surprise, Xia Yu was calmer than she had imagined. ¡°Do you have a boyfriend?¡±

    Jiang Yun shook her head and said honestly, ¡°No, but I¡¯m going to have a marriage alliance in the future. If you want to stay by my side, I can only give you this.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Yun¡¯s answer, Xia Yu¡¯s stiff body rxed a little. ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Yu replied.

    Xia Yu was so calm that Jiang Yun could not sit still. She was about to continue speaking when a hand on her shoulder tightened, making Jiang Yun move closer to him.

    Jiang Yun turned around with confusion in her eyes.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were clear and bright. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we can do things between lovers?¡±

    For the first time, Jiang Yun felt that Xia Yu was not as soft as she had imagined. ¡°Can you ept such a shady rtionship?¡±

    Xia Yu pursed his lips. ¡°Let¡¯s do this for now.¡±

    There was one thing he knew very well. If he liked it, he had to grab it. This was what Xia Wanyuan had taught him.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu seemed to have found his backbone.<i> That¡¯s right, I can ask Xia Wanyuan for a solution. </i>

    So what if I am shameful now? Although I¡¯m shy, I¡¯m not stupid.

    Jiang Yun looked at him with a glint in her eyes. Perhaps even Jiang Yun herself did not notice it.

    As long as there was light, there was hope.

    With all sorts of messy things in his heart, Xia Yu did not know when the movie ended. He only knew that after the movie ended, the audience in the theater cried.

    Southwest base.

    When she received Xia Yu¡¯s call, Xia Wanyuan had just walked out of the bathroom and was about to return to the meeting room.

    ¡°Xia Yu, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Sister.¡± Xia Wanyuan was like a beacon in Xia Yu¡¯s heart, making him feel at ease. ¡°I have something to tell you...¡±

    After patiently listening to Xia Yu¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan smiled and suddenly sighed. ¡°Xia Yu, you¡¯ve grown up.¡±

    Xia Yu was a little embarrassed. ¡°Sister, what do you think I should do?¡±

    ¡°If you like it, fight for it.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attitude was as Xia Yu had imagined.

    ¡°Sister, thank you.¡± With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s support, Xia Yu felt that he was filled with strength again.

    ¡°Mm, if she likes you too, then it¡¯s not impossible to ovee the problem of being forced into a marriage.¡± Xia Wanyuanforted Xia Yu, but she was a little curious. ¡°What¡¯s the name of the girl you like? The one that is forced into a marriage.¡±

    Xia Yu obediently told her everything. ¡°Sister, her name is Jiang Yun. I haven¡¯t had the time to understand their family.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned for once.

    <h4>Chapter 1024: Princess¡¯s Love Rival</h4>

    ¡°Sister, what¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡± Seeing no response from Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu asked curiously.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan hid her emotions.

    ¡°Oh, then go and do your things. I¡¯ll pick Xiao Bao up now.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Jiang Yun¡¯s appearance appeared in her mind.

    Beautiful, capable, and sharp.

    She did not care what kind of person Xia Yu liked. What she cared about was whether Jiang Yun had other motives. <i>Could she have deliberately approached Xia Yu?</i>

    Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan turned on her phone and sent Shen Qian a few more messages.

    She did not interfere with Xia Yu¡¯s feelings, but she could not let someone with ulterior motives hurt him.

    ¡°Miss Xia?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just sent the message when a female voice came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. Behind her was the adjutant of themand center, Lin Wei. Lin Wei was dressed in a dark green uniform and stood there.

    Xia Wanyuan put away her phone and nodded at Lin Wei. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°From the looks of Miss Xia, you shouldn¡¯t be from the camp, right?¡± Lin Wei nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smooth skin. It was obvious that she had lived like a princess all year round.

    ......

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Ever since Officer arrived, he¡¯s been busy day and night.¡± Lin Wei stared at Xia Wanyuan as if she was lecturing a subordinate. ¡°Miss Xia, since you¡¯re not an insider, isn¡¯t it inappropriate to dy his time like this? This isn¡¯t a child¡¯s y.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°If you really understand Officer, you should go back early. Don¡¯t waste Officer¡¯s time here. As his wife, you should know how to prioritize the big picture.¡± Lin Wei really could not stand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s delicate appearance. She was beautiful, but the base was not a ce where beauty was important.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied casually. Her gazended on Lin Wei with a deep insight. ¡°But you might have missed something.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan said slowly, ¡°Have you ever thought that yourmander likes me too much and can¡¯t bear to let me leave him?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was best at stabbing people in the ces they cared about the most.

    ¡°...¡± Lin Wei frowned. ¡°How is that possible? You can tell that Officer¡¯s someone who values the big picture.¡±

    Before Lin Wei could finish speaking, the door of the meeting room behind her suddenly opened and Jun Shiling walked out. Lin Wei stopped talking.

    Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling with her cold, red hands. ¡°It¡¯s cold.¡±

    Jun Shiling strode over and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going in?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to eat.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to tidy the scarf in front of Xia Wanyuan and put on her hat, his eyes filled with gentleness.

    ¡°The meat in the afternoon is a little fat.¡±

    ¡°You eat the thin part and give me the fat part.¡±

    ¡°I want to eat sweet potatoes. Roast them for me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    .....

    The two of them chatted andughed as they passed by Lin Wei, making her furious.

    Back in the lounge, Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°You did it on purpose just now, right? Did Lin Wei provoke you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not so pretentious. From her tone just now, one could tell that she was angering someone again.

    ¡°Who asked you to attract rotten peach blossoms every day?¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly.

    Lin Wei had deliberately poured water for Jun Shiling to mock her. She had angered Lin Wei once and returned the favor.

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s my fault,¡± Jun Shiling said as he helped Xia Wanyuan take off her shoes.

    The base was cold. Every time the meeting ended after a few hours, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s limbs would be cold. Jun Shiling specially got someone to get an electric grill. Every time they rested, he would bring Xia Wanyuan to the lounge to warm up.

    Xia Wanyuan only said that to anger Lin Wei. In fact, she ate whatever lunch box the base gave her. After dinner, Jun Shiling wanted to work, but he was stopped by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Go and rest for a while. You¡¯re not allowed to get up without three hours.¡±

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling smiled helplessly.

    Xia Wanyuan did not care so much. She pushed Jun Shiling into the nket. ¡°Your brain has been working all day. You should rest for a while.¡±

    After Jun Shilingy down, Xia Wanyuan sat by the bed and reached her feet under the nket. Then, she took Jun Shiling¡¯sputer and ced it on herp. ¡°I¡¯ll help you do things. When you wake up, see if there¡¯s anything you need to change and add. Go to sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan listened in the meeting room for the entire day and also received all sorts of information at a high intensity. She observed the situation of the people in charge of the various regions and had a basic understanding of what Jun Shiling wanted to do.

    How could Jun Shiling watch Xia Wanyuan work hard at the side? He wanted to get up, but Xia Wanyuan red at him.

    ¡°If you get up today, I won¡¯t let you touch me for the next three months. I won¡¯t talk to you.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling was both amused and touched. Who would threaten him with this? However, he had to admit that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s threat was very effective. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll sleep. Wake me up in three hours.¡±

    He slept for exactly three hours. Before Xia Wanyuan could wake him up, an rm suddenly sounded outside.

    A subordinate rushed over. Jun Shiling put on his coat and opened the door.

    ¡°Oh no, a ne fell in the South China Mountains. Someone escaped, but the mountains are steep and we can¡¯t enter.¡±

    Jun Shiling thought for a moment and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. She nodded at him.

    Jun Shiling said, ¡°Wait for me,¡± and followed his subordinate out of the base.

 Chapter 1025 - The Princess Saved the Situation

    <h4>Chapter 1025: The Princess Saved the Situation</h4>

    It happened suddenly. When Jun Shiling left, he took a few people from the base with him. The base, which did not have many people to begin with, became even emptier.

    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± Zhou Hui suddenly eximed. ¡°If Officer leaves, will he be able to make it back tomorrow morning?!¡±

    Every three days, Jun Shiling would gather all the people in charge in the southwest to listen to everyone¡¯s work progress and arrange the next step.

    If Jun Shiling did not rush back tomorrow, who would host this meeting? It was definitely unrealistic to postpone the meeting. Time was more important than anything else now. They could not afford to dy the precise time.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Uncle Zhou. Maybe themander will be back tomorrow.¡± Lin Wei was also worried, but she was the adjutant here. No matter how flustered she was, she did not show it on her face.

    With that, everyone began to walk back. Lin Wei turned around and met Xia Wanyuan. Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s gloves in her hand, Lin Wei looked away.

    This night was destined to be an uneasy night.

    Jun Shiling did not return until the next morning. If he did not return, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep. The lights in the lounge lit up for the entire night.

    The sun rose and the charcoal in the brazier had already burned out. There were fourrge handwritten documents beside Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan yawned. After a busy night, she finally sorted out the information.

    Themand room was already in chaos.

    On the screen, the people in charge of the various districts had already connected to the Inte in the meeting room. Everyone arrived one after another, but the seat that belonged to Jun Shiling was still empty.

    ¡°What should we do?¡± Zhou Hui was so anxious that his face was covered in ayer of sweat.

    ......

    The people in charge of this video conference were all local overlords. They had all mixed in with the power pile. Not to mention dealing with these dozens of people, he could not even deal with one.

    Lin Wei¡¯s palms were sweating. She stared straight at Jun Shiling¡¯s seat on the stage. However, as time passed, there was still no news from Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Uncle Zhou, if the officer doesn¡¯t returnter,e up with me.¡± Although Lin Wei had been around for many years, she had never dealt with such arge-scale reorganization. ¡°We¡¯ll just listen to their report and record it. We¡¯ll decide when the officer returns.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s the only way.¡± Zhou Hui shook his head. Now, he only hoped that a miracle would happen and Jun Shiling could appear in the meeting room within five minutes.

    However, a miracle did not happen. When everyone in the video conference room arrived, the center seat was still empty.

    ¡°Uncle Zhou, let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Wei¡¯s palms were already covered in sweat. She looked at Zhou Hui beside her.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The two of them had just taken a step when the door to themand room suddenly opened. Lin Wei turned around excitedly, but her expression instantly darkened.

    It was Xia Wanyuan.

    Although she was very dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan entering and leaving themand room, with Jun Shiling backing her, it was useless no matter how dissatisfied Lin Wei was.

    Lin Wei turned around and took a deep breath before continuing to walk on stage.

    Unexpectedly, a notebook was handed to her. Lin Wei looked up at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.

    ¡°This is for you. You might need it.¡±

    Lin Wei took it and flipped through it. The first thing she saw was very beautiful small characters. They carefully listed the situation of every area and every person in charge.

    It was obvious that this word was written by a woman. Lin Wei guessed that Jun Shiling had asked Xia Wanyuan to copy it and leave it behind.

    Although Lin Wei could not stand Xia Wanyuan being pampered by Jun Shiling, at this time, she was still grateful that Xia Wanyuan did not hide it and handed it to her. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Xia Wanyuan had always done things very clearly. She was angry at Lin Wei because Lin Wei had rebuked her, but she would not reject Lin Wei¡¯s sincere gratitude.

    Lin Wei took the information Xia Wanyuan had given her onto the stage and sat in the meeting room.

    As expected, when they saw that it was the adjutant girl in themand center, the video conference room exploded. Everyone was noisy.

    Lin Wei was an adjutant who had been selectedyer byyer after all. She still had her dignity. ¡°Quiet, Officer has other matters to settle. I¡¯ll preside over the meeting today. Now, please report the past three days of work. We¡¯ll record it and make a decision when Officer returns.¡±

    Everyone knew that the most important thing was to adjust thebat strength of the entire southwest region. If Jun Shiling did note to host this meeting, there must be something more important. How urgent was that?! For a moment, everyone was panicking.

    Lin Wei suppressed the situation. ¡°Alright, start reporting.¡±

    However, it was not that easy. Everyone sitting here was someone who would tremble if they stomped the ground in the southwest region. Under Jun Shiling¡¯s suppression, they could barely maintain the surface peace.

    Now that it was Lin Wei, how could everyone be convinced by a little girl? They immediately patronized her.

    From the first person to report the situation, Lin Wei could tell that something was wrong. The Anting District was not the central district, but it reported an astronomical transfer fee. Just hearing it made her feel that it was unreasonable.

    Lin Wei could still tolerate the first one, but the second and third ones also reported obviously unreasonable fees. Lin Wei could not help but question.

    ¡°Aiyo, Adjutant Lin, what are you saying? You don¡¯t know the calctions of these fees. If you say no, then tell me, why can¡¯t I?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Sigh, I don¡¯t know if Officer Jun is deliberately leaving us hanging or something, but he actually let a girl who doesn¡¯t know anything preside over the overall situation here. Why? Are you looking down on us?¡±

    Lin Wei clenched her fists and thought to herself that these people were indeed old foxes. They had sowed discord between Jun Shiling and everyone with just a few words.

    As expected, everyone was reminded by these words and felt that Jun Shiling was lying to them. Their performance in the meeting room became more and more unrestrained.

    There was even an especially arrogant person who actually smoked during the meeting. ¡°Aiya, little girl, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m addicted to smoking. It¡¯s fine. Continue. You said that you can¡¯t approve funds just now, so you have to give us a reason, right?¡±

    Lin Wei looked down at the information Xia Wanyuan had prepared for her, but no matter how useful the information was, it was useless. She could not suppress these old foxes. No matter what they said, they pretended not to hear it.

    The meeting room was in chaos. It did not look like a meeting of well-trained people at all. Instead, it was as lively as a market.

    Lin Wei understood that these people were originally suppressed by Jun Shiling and were dissatisfied. Now that they had a breakthrough, they could vent freely.

    However, although she understood, there was nothing she could do.

    Just as everyone was getting angrier and Lin Wei was about to announce the end of the meeting, Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting below the stage, walked towards the stage.

    The stage was included in the video conference cameras. The others also saw Xia Wanyuan walk up the stage.

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s astonishing beauty, the originally noisy meeting room fell silent.

    Lin Wei frowned. ¡°You...¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked straight to her. ¡°Get up.¡±

    Lin Wei did not want to admit it, but she had to admit that at that moment, she actually felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura was as domineering as Jun Shiling¡¯s.

    Her actions were faster than her brain. Lin Wei subconsciously stood up and gave her seat to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the meeting room. ¡°Report again.¡±

 Chapter 1026 - The Princess Domineering Control

    <h4>Chapter 1026: The Princess¡¯ Domineering Control</h4>

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, not only the people in charge in the meeting room, but even Lin Wei felt that she was joking.

    Ignoring the fact that it was a problem to let the meeting continue normally, let these old foxes report again? Only Jun Shiling¡¯s immediate appearance in the meeting room could have such an effect.

    ¡°Pfft, is there no man in themand center?¡± Seeing two women in a row, the people in charge were angered. They felt that Jun Shiling was deliberately humiliating them.

    ¡°Lin Wei still has a deputy post after all. Who are you to dare to scold us in this position?¡±

    ¡°Xia...¡± Lin Wei wanted Xia Wanyuan to go down, but Xia Wanyuan stopped her with a look.

    In this situation, it was best not to tell these people her identity. Once she told them, they would be fearless.

    Only the unknown could make one feel fear.

    Xia Wanyuan knocked her right hand on the table twice. ¡°Quiet.¡±

    This was her habit when she was in power in her previous life. At this moment, she felt as if she was sitting on the tall pce again. Under her feet were hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people. Life and death were in her hands.

    This simple word carried a substantial pressure. The others in the meeting room actually fell silent.

    However, when they reacted, everyone looked at each other. <i>Were we possessed just now? </i>Just as they were about to speak again, Xia Wanyuan spoke first.

    ¡°The person in charge of Yongcheng District, you just said that a total of 30,000 people need to be transferred in the district. ording to the data of your January 20th newspaper and the data you just reported, six of these don¡¯t match. Tell me the reason.¡±

    The person in charge was shocked that the Yongcheng District was suddenly called out. Of course, he knew that it did not match, but what surprised him even more was that this woman could actually tell that six things did not match.<i> It had only been a few minutes, how could she tell? </i>

    ......

    ¡°There¡¯s also the Wenjiang District. There¡¯s a mistake in eight ces, the Wenyuan District...¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at a few people who looked easy to control. As expected, after being called out, these people, who were usually very timid, were like frightened birds. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start from you and report again. If the data doesn¡¯t match, exin yourself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had found a breakthrough. As she had expected, these timid and cautious people rushed to report again.

    No matter how strong a dam was, once there was a gap, water would pour out. Furthermore, the rtionship between this group of people was not stable at all. Hence, one by one, everyone began to report in the original order.

    The report at this moment was not as perfunctory as when Lin Wei was hosting just now. This was because Xia Wanyuan knew how to ask questions and was very sharp. She would also peel offyers of information ording to everyone¡¯s report. If one was not careful, they would fall into the trap she had set.

    Everyone was in a different position, and the situation in every area was different. Xia Wanyuan controlled the overall situation and refined it to every small point.

    The more everyone reported, the more frightened they became. The young woman on stage did not match her appearance at all. She even had a calm and domineering aura that exceeded her age.

    These people in charge had all rolled around in the power nest and were too familiar with this aura. Xia Wanyuan had the boldness of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

    Lin Wei stood on stage for a while and saw that the scene was gradually controlled by Xia Wanyuan. She looked at Xia Wanyuan with aplicated expression and slowly walked off the stage.

    The others in the meeting room were also stunned. From the moment Xia Wanyuan arrived, their impression of her was that she was beautiful, followed by gentle. They had never seen her like this.

    They knew better than anyone how difficult it was to deal with these people in the meeting room. However, these old loaches actually listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions obediently.

    They had thought that Xia Wanyuan was a youngdy who did not get involved in the world, but what did they see at this moment?

    It was the scene of Xia Wanyuan instructing a thousand troops. They had thought that only Jun Shiling could control the entire southwest region easily, but now, seeing Xia Wanyuan make all sorts of arrangements, everyone was really stunned.

    The people in the meeting room changed one after another. Lin Wei helped Xia Wanyuan refill the teacup in front of her.

    It was only when the sun set that the meeting finally came to an end. Xia Wanyuan tapped the table. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s meeting. Do as I say first. If there are any adjustments, I¡¯ll inform you in detail. Meeting dismissed.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Officer.¡± Everyone in the meeting room did not know who Xia Wanyuan was, but after a day of contact, everyone had ced her on the same level as Jun Shiling from the bottom of their hearts. They could not help but call out, ¡°Officer.¡±

    The video conference ended and the video was cut off. Xia Wanyuan coughed lightly and stood up to leave the stage.

    At this moment, the meeting room was already filled with people from themand center. It was unknown who led the apuse, but gradually, the entiremand center apuded.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, thank goodness you¡¯re here. Otherwise, I really don¡¯t know what to do today.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. If not for you turning the tide, the situation that the officer had painstakingly built would have been destroyed.¡±

    In the corner of the meeting room, Lin Wei looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly. After a while, she finally raised her hand and sincerely apuded her.

    She had been prejudiced. As expected, a woman who was worthy of Jun Shiling was not an ordinary person.

    ¡°Alright, everyone, work at your previous pace. We¡¯ll talk when Jun Shilinges back,¡± Xia Wanyuan said a little tiredly. She smiled at everyone and left the meeting room.

    The ne crash should be very difficult to resolve. Jun Shiling still did not return that night.

    The second and third day, Jun Shiling still did not return.

    But now, everyone was not so flustered. Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s presence, everything was progressing in an orderly manner.

    On the fourth day, there was still a meeting every three days.

    Seeing this devil again, the people in charge of the various areas had ugly expressions.

    Jun Shiling was very difficult to deal with, and Xia Wanyuan was even more difficult to deal with than him. The main reason was that Xia Wanyuan was too good at setting traps. They thought that they were already old foxes, but they did not expect that there was a thousand-year-old human spirit here who would dig holes for them to jump into.

    ¡°Okay, today¡¯s meeting is over. Those with questions canmunicate with us in private. Meeting dismissed.¡± When Xia Wanyuan announced the end of the meeting, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief<i>. It was too difficult. Devil!</i>

    Xia Wanyuan did not care what they thought and tidied up the documents on the table.

    Suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked up. The door to the meeting room had opened at some point in time. Jun Shiling, who was dressed in ck, was standing at the door with a smile in his eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up and she quickly walked off the stage. Jun Shiling also strode into the meeting room and reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re amazing.¡±

 Chapter 1027 - CEO Jun Bullied

    <h4>Chapter 1027: CEO Jun Bullied</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan easily blushed in front of Jun Shiling. Now that he had praised her, her face flushed red. When the others in the meeting room saw this scene, they could not help butugh.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up from Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m done.¡± The ne crash was easy to resolve. What was not easy to resolve was that the people who hade down from above had fled into the jungle. It had taken a lot of time to capture these few people.

    ¡°Then.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but Jun Shiling leaned his index finger on her lips. ¡°Go and eat first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and returned to the lounge. Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling everything that had happened in the past four days and let him take a look at all the opinions.

    ¡°CEO Jun, look, is there anything you need to change?¡± Xia Wanyuan flipped through the notes in her hand seriously.

    Support our

    The door was knocked on. The staff had delivered the food. Jun Shiling stood up to bring it in and locked the door.

    ¡°Look, there¡¯s a little controversy here, so I left it for you to make the decision,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she picked up the notes and handed them to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did not look at the document but held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes. At that moment, the mes in his eyes flickered. Xia Wanyuan was too familiar with what these mes represented.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you thinking? This is the base. There are people outside.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and sealed her mouth. ¡°It¡¯ll be fine if you don¡¯t make a sound.¡±

    ......

    Xia Wanyuan was very serious during the meeting, so she did not notice that Jun Shiling had been standing at the door of the meeting room for at least an hour.

    He loved to see Xia Wanyuan guide the world. She was so domineering, confident, and wise that one could not help but want to rub her into his body.

    ¡°Hey, you.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed him. She was really embarrassed to mess around under such circumstances.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you miss me?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s hot breath tickled her ear.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped struggling. How could she not want to? ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°Shh.¡± Jun Shiling covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth with his hand. ¡°Bite me if you want to scream. As long as you don¡¯t make a sound, they won¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°!!!¡± Xia Wanyuan protested with her eyes, but at this moment, protesting was useless.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to scream but did not dare to. Tears welled up in her eyes and hung on her long eyshes. She had bitten deep teeth marks on the back of Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    The churning nket finally calmed down. Jun Shiling buried himself in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and calmed down.

    Xia Wanyuan spat out Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more overboard.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°Mm, who asked you to seduce me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with question marks. ¡°When did I seduce you?¡±

    Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Good girl, I¡¯ll heat up the food for you.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t.¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled him back. ¡°Who eats for a few hours? You¡¯re not allowed to go. If you go, others will definitely guess wildly.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m not going.¡±

    In the end, Jun Shiling roasted a few buns under the warmth of the charcoal fire and the two of them finished dinner around it.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s help, the work progressed much faster. Jun Shiling read through the notes Xia Wanyuan had made in the past few days. ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve already done very well. There¡¯s no need to modify anything.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    It had been too long since she had been so focused on dealing with the power struggle. She felt really tired, and her heart ached even more for Jun Shiling. He had always been like this.

    ¡°Do you really think I¡¯ve worked hard?¡± Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Then reward me,¡± Jun Shiling said as he pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. Xia Wanyuan, who was bullied until she wanted to scream but did not dare to, could only cry silently was too addictive.

    ¡°Hey, are you not working anymore?¡±

    ¡°Fortunately, Madam helped me. I should have worked, but now, the matter has been settled.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to cry but had no tears. <i>Did I shoot myself in the foot?</i>

    The next day, Jun Shiling went to work with a red bite mark. Sensing everyone¡¯s gazes on him, Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Madam, you think I came back toote. This is a small punishment for me.¡±

    Everyone hurriedly nodded.<i> Oh, oh. Sir¡¯s temper is so good to Madam. He¡¯s not even angry after being bitten so hard. </i>

    Xia Wanyuan got up after resting for a long time.

    Hence, on the high tform of the meeting room, there were two figures. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan handled things together and discussed together, reducing the original working time by half.

    He had thought that it would take him a month toplete the work, but now, it was over in half a month.

    It was time for the two of them to leave. After all, there were still a lot of things waiting for them in Beijing.

 Chapter 1028 - Daddy, Youâ€™re Peeping at Me!!

    <h4>Chapter 1028: Daddy, You¡¯re Peeping at Me!!</h4>

    Compared to when she first came and was treated as an enemy by a group of people with weapons, when she left, Xia Wanyuan was reluctantly surrounded by everyone.

    Who did not like to see beautiful women when they worked in the mountains? Especially since this beauty was extremely capable and could increase their work progress by more than half.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked into the ne. The door gradually closed, blocking everyone¡¯s reluctant gazes.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned against the window and looked at everyone waving at the ne. She was a little reluctant. After all, they had been together for nearly half a month.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and wrapped his arms around her waist. ¡°Can¡¯t bear to leave?¡±

    ¡°A little.¡± The environment here was simple. Although she was tired every day, it inexplicably reminded her of her previous life.

    ¡°Invite them over during our wedding.¡±

    ¡°Wedding?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°When? No, you haven¡¯t proposed to me yet.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Mm, Madam Jun, you can start preparing your wedding clothes now.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan looked forward to it.

    In her two lifetimes, she had never thought about what she would be like when she got married.

    ncing at Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan imagined Jun Shiling in a red suit in her mind. She suddenly looked forward to it. She had not seen Jun Shiling wear anything other than a suit.

    ¡°By the way, did you watch the video of me participating in the designpetition?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought that Jun Shiling was so busy that he shouldn¡¯t have time to pay attention to this. ¡°Shall we watch it together?¡±

    How could Jun Shiling not have watched it? No matter how busy he was, he had taken some time out to watch the video of Xia Wanyuan participating in thepetition before he slept. However, facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s invitation now, Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Although it was the second time he had seen it, Jun Shiling could not help but be stunned by Xia Wanyuan. Wearing the blue sky and white clouds, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the endless light like a dream god.

    ¡°Does it look good?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned her head, her face clearly asking for praise.

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head as if he was coaxing a child. ¡°Our Madam is the most beautiful.¡±

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan had dimples on her face from the praise. Jun Shiling smiled with her.

    The ne shuttled through the clouds. Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and looked out the window at the clouds and the morning glow.

    In the open sea of Continent M, a luxurious cruise ship was floating aimlessly on the sea.

    ¡°The famous King of the Night actually doesn¡¯t even dare to show his face. This negotiation is meaningless.¡± A tall foreign man was staring at the masked man opposite him. This was the second on the international criminal bounty list, Sea Shark. The first was naturally the masked man in front of him, King.

    ¡°Is my face worth 100 billion? Or? You don¡¯t even want 100 billion and want to see my face?¡± The masked man¡¯s voice was extremely young.

    ¡°A hundred billion?¡± Hearing this, Sea Shark immediately sat up straight. ¡°Where can I earn it? The international market is tight now. Where can I get a hundred billion?¡±

    The masked man gestured, and the scar-faced man standing at the side handed Sea Shark a document.

    ¡°China?¡± Sea Shark closed the document when it saw this word. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know that it¡¯s easy to do big business in the Chinese market? The key is how to enter. Its ce is like an iron wall, and the higher-ups are ruthless. If I don¡¯t earn money when I go in, I¡¯ll lose myself.¡±

    ¡°What if I say that this copper wall is already the paper on the window that will shatter with a light touch?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± In this underground force, the Sea Shark was second, and the one who dared to be number one was King, who was sitting in front of him. The sea shark knew that he would not say anything without evidence, so he was immediately interested.

    ¡°I have a detailed map of the southwest region of China, including all theirbat strength deployments. When we transport the goods in privately, not only can we bypass all the checkpoints, but we can also watch and develop the other party into our tentacles.¡±

    ¡°A map?!¡± Sea Shark was really shocked.?<i>This was the highest secret of a country. How did King have this??</i>

    ¡°Just say it. Are you going to do it? If not, I¡¯ll find someone else.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Sea Shark made a prompt decision. ¡°Fifty-fifty.¡±

    ¡°Three, seven.¡±

    ¡°Impossible!¡± The sea shark¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You¡¯re too overboard!¡±

    The masked man stood up and left. ¡°Then we won¡¯t meet again.¡±

    Seeing that the masked man was about to leave the deck, Sea Shark made up his mind. ¡°Wait, four, six!¡±

    ¡°Deal.¡± Under the mask, Yu Qian¡¯s thin lips curled up.

    He turned around slowly. ¡°Now, we can talk about what to do.¡±

    The wind blew across the blue sea, and the waves rushed towards the snow-white mail boat. The two people sitting on the deck only stopped discussing when night fell.

    The stars shed in the sky, and the sound of a car came from the entrance of the manor.

    ¡°Mommy is back!!¡± Xiao Bao, who was on the second floor, seemed to have sensed something. He threw down the Ultraman in his hand and ran out. Xia Yu could not catch up.

    Xiao Bao had just run downstairs when Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan entered.

    Xiao Bao pursed his lips and began to cry. ¡°Boohoo, Mommy, I miss you so much. Where did you go?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly went forward and kissed Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Good boy, isn¡¯t Mommy back?¡±

    ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and looked at Xiao Bao in disdain. ¡°You¡¯re already four years old, yet you¡¯re still crying.¡±

    Xiao Bao did not care. Xiao Bao missed Xia Wanyuan so much that he threw himself into her arms and cried until the sky copsed. Only when Xia Wanyuan promised him that she would bring him along as her little tail for the next week did he calm down.

    Satisfied with his mother¡¯sfort, Xiao Bao kissed Xia Wanyuan and slipped out of her arms. He ran to Jun Shiling and opened his arms to him.

    ¡°Daddy, hug me.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Xiao Bao pouted, and tears were about to fall from his big eyes. ¡°Boohoo, Daddy, hug me. I miss Daddy.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked disdainful, but he still reached out and lifted Xiao Bao onto hisp. Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck like a little octopus. ¡°Daddy, I miss you so much.¡±

    Jun Shiling patted Xiao Bao¡¯s back. ¡°Have you been good recently?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Bao nodded seriously. ¡°I¡¯m super obedient. I haven¡¯t eaten milk candy recently!¡±

    Jun Shiling was about to praise him when he suddenly felt that Xiao Bao¡¯s pocket was bulging. Jun Shiling reached in and took out arge handful of golden monkey milk candy.

    The back of Xiao Bao¡¯s neck turned cold. He let go and was about to run when Jun Shiling pulled him back.

    ¡°Mommy, you made me wait for you at home for more than half a month. I miss you so much.¡± In his long battle with Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao had already grasped the key to solving the problem.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan walked over and took Xiao Bao. ¡°Although your father is fierce to you, he misses you very much. He carries our photos with him and takes a look at you every night.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s round eyes widened. He looked at Jun Shiling in shock and joy. ¡°Daddy, really? You secretly looked at my photo!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°If you eat milk candy again in the future, I won¡¯t buy you a ne.¡±

 Chapter 1029 - Breaking the Record

    <h4>Chapter 1029: Breaking the Record</h4>

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Xiao Bao smiled until his teeth were white. The dimples on his face were identical to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. ¡°Daddy, hug.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out to take Xiao Bao. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to eat it secretly, understand?¡±

    ¡°Mm, mm!¡± Knowing that his father was also thinking about him, Xiao Bao was extremely happy. He leaned against his father¡¯s broad chest cooperatively. ¡°Daddy, I like you so much.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied gently and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s soft head.

    Looking at this loving scene, Xia Wanyuan smiled. She looked up and saw Xia Yu sitting at the side with a lonely expression. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered.

    Xiao Bao, who had originally cried and wanted Xia Wanyuan to apany him, became more clingy to Jun Shiling in the end. He hung around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and did note down. Even when he was showering, Jun Shiling had to help him wash up.

    On ount of not returning for nearly half a month, Jun Shiling agreed to Xiao Bao¡¯s request and carried him into the bathroom.

    Xia Wanyuan went upstairs and knocked on Xia Yu¡¯s door.

    ¡°Sister, why are you here?¡± Xia Yu had just washed his hair and it was still wet.

    Xia Wanyuan took the hairdryer from the side. ¡°Sit down.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu had never had his hair blown before and was a little embarrassed.

    Xia Wanyuan helped him blow slowly. ¡°Have you visited Xia Yuanqing?¡±

    Xia Yu was stunned. ¡°No.¡±

    ......

    ¡°Find some time to visit him.¡±

    Xia Yu was silent for a while. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Yu was inexplicably sad to see Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling together.

    Ever since Xia Yuanqing had carried him back, he had nevercked food, clothes, and use. However, he had never felt the love from his father. This was a lifelong regret for Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu was sad for a moment, but this sadness was quickly resolved by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle actions. Fortunately, he still had a sister.

    After drying her hair, Xia Wanyuan chatted with Xia Yu for a long time before leaving. It had been a long time since she had a heart-to-heart with Xia Yu. This time, they had a thorough chat.

    When she returned to the bedroom, Xiao Bao was already asleep in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling looked up at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯ve never talked to me for so long.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°That¡¯s my younger brother.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°Come and sleep.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. She slept on Jun Shiling¡¯s right and rested her head on his arm. ¡°Goodnight, CEO Jun.¡±

    A kissnded. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    The news of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan returning to Beijing quickly spread to many people.

    ¡°Sister, Jun Shiling is back. I¡¯ve already arranged it. Dress up better tomorrow night.¡± It was alreadyte at night, but Jiang Kui still called Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Yun frowned. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Anyway, we¡¯ll be at the Guohua Hotel tomorrow. If you don¡¯te, you can report to Father yourself.¡± Jiang Kui hung up after saying that.

    Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Jiang Yun tightened her grip on her phone. Theputer in front of her was still ying Xia Yu¡¯s live-stream rey, but Jiang Yun was not in the mood to watch this now.

    Ever since they parted at the cinemast time, Jiang Yun had cut off her connection with Xia Yu.

    To be honest, she was indeed a little tempted. Although she was about the same age as Xia Yu, she was mentally already much older than him.

    It was not an exaggeration to say that she had a twenty-year-old body and a forty-year-old mentality.

    She had seen too many schemes and benefits. It was impossible to not be tempted by Xia Yu¡¯s pure and indomitable love.

    However, because she was tempted, she did not dare to contact Xia Yu again.

    As expected, it was right not to contact him. As long as she was a member of the Jiang family, she could not have freedom and would always be a tool of the family.

    Jiang Yun stood up and turned off the live broadcast in front of her. She walked to the cloakroom to choose the clothes she wanted to wear to the banquet tomorrow.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The morning sun of the new day rose again.

    Xia Wanyuan had just finished breakfast when she received Chen Yun¡¯s continuous bombardment.

    ¡°My ancestor, your call can finally be connected.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and walked out. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Ancestor, do you know how much your movie has sold at the box office?¡± Chen Yun was stuck in the studio. He looked at the media reporters downstairs and wanted to cry.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. You can worry about this kind of thing.¡± From the moment Xia Wanyuan arrived in France until she stayed in the southwest for more than half a month, she had never paid attention to the domestic entertainment industry. She had not even watched the movie she had acted inpletely.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already broken the five billion mark!! You¡¯ve broken all sorts of records. The media reporters are going crazy looking for you. Oh, and your fans¡¯ments under yourtest Weibo post have already broken the Guinness record.¡±

    The video of Xia Wanyuan participating in the designpetition overseas had already attracted the attention of arge number of domestic audience in the afternoon.

    That beautiful change not only conquered the foreign audience, but also captured the hearts of the domestic audience.

    Various videos of Xia Wanyuan¡¯spetition that day were popr on various tforms. That magical embroidery technique was simply dazzling.

    Before the poprity of embroidery died down, ¡°Dark Night¡± was released. The domestic estimated box office for this movie was about a billion yuan.

    Although the director was very famous and the protagonist was the extremely popr Xia Wanyuan, it was not an eye-catching sci-fi movie after all, nor was it artistic. Instead, it was a movie with a slower pace to explore human nature.

    However, no one had expected Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance to be so moving. She had vividly disyed that cold and heartless killer, the pure and clear Little Snow, and Snow Fox after experiencing a thousand sails, making one unable to help but be brought into that illusory world.

    Wave after wave, Xia Wanyuan had dominated the first ce on the Weibo rankings for nearly half a month. Her poprity had not decreased until now. She was known as a miracle in the entertainment industry.

    However, just as Xia Wanyuan swept through the Inte, she disappeared from the public eye. No one could find her, making all the media and fans crazy with anxiety.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was finally back, Chen Yun could finally be relieved. ¡°I¡¯ve arranged a live broadcast for you tonight. Go online and chat with your fans.¡±

    ¡°No problem,¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    Xia Wanyuan had been gone for more than half a month. Most of the matters were carried out in an orderly manner without any major mistakes.

    There was only one thing that Xia Wanyuan wanted to resolve immediately.

    That was the Wei family.

    Xia Wanyuan had just taken over and had disappeared for more than half a month. Xia Wanyuan was worried that the Wei family would take advantage of this period of time to cause trouble.

    However, when she rushed to the Wei family¡¯s courtyard, she was very surprised. Everything was in order. It was still the same when she left and returned.

 Chapter 1030 - The Truth Back Then

    <h4>Chapter 1030: The Truth Back Then</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan brought Xiao Bao, her little tail, into the Wei family¡¯s courtyard. When she saw Wei Zimu standing at the door, she understood why the Wei family had been so peaceful these few days.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± After not seeing her for many days, Wei Zimu seemed to have lost some weight and smiled gently at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xiao Bao looked curiously at the handsome man in front of him and blinked his big eyes.

    <i>This uncle is so good-looking!</i>

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She pointed at Wei Zimu. ¡°Xiao Bao, call Uncle Zimu.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes curved up and he said enthusiastically, ¡°Hello, Uncle Zimu!¡±

    Seeing Xiao Bao, who looked like a porcin doll, warmth appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. He squatted down and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°My name is Jun Yin.¡± Xiao Bao smiled.

    ¡°Jun Yin,¡± Wei Zimu repeated. ¡°Good name.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu stood up and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯ve been gone for the past few days. There are many things in the Wei family that you need to oversee. Let¡¯s find a ce to talk.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. The sunlight was very good today. Xia Wanyuan pointed at the pavilion in the garden. ¡°Let¡¯s go over and talk.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around, took Xiao Bao¡¯s hand, and led him not far from the pavilion. She took a branch and drew a circle on the ground. ¡°Stay in this circle and wait for Mommy to finish talking. Don¡¯t run around.¡±

    Xiao Bao nodded obediently. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted his head before walking into the pavilion with Wei Zimu.

    The view here was very wide. She could see Xiao Bao ying hopscotch happily. Wei Zimu smiled. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, your child is indeed very cute.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xiao Bao and retracted her gaze. ¡°Thank you for helping me manage the Wei family these few days.¡±

    ¡°What thank you?¡± Wei Zimu ced the ount book beside him in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ve already sorted out these things. See if there¡¯s any problem.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan quickly flipped open the ount book. ¡°You organized it very well. The Wei family is in order under your management.¡±

    ¡°Now that you¡¯re back, it¡¯s your turn to manage it.¡±

    ¡°Where are you going next?¡± There were many dried fruits prepared by Wei Zimu on the table. Xia Wanyuan took one and ced it in her mouth.

    ¡°Where are you not going? I¡¯ll stay in Beijing. If you need anything, you can look for me.¡± The Wei family was Wei Zimu¡¯s home. Wei Zimu had never thought of leaving.

    Okay, then you¡¯ll still be in charge of the Wei family¡¯s matters.¡± Wei Zimu was more familiar with the Wei family¡¯s businesses than anyone else. He was the most suitable candidate to manage the Wei family.

    Wei Zimu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded. ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯m willing to help you manage it.¡±

    ¡°I met your younger brother in France more than half a month ago.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly mentioned Yu Qian, and Wei Zimu¡¯s hand that was holding the cup paused.

    ¡°He didn¡¯t do anything to you, did he?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Zimu thoughtfully. ¡°I have no grievances with him. What can he do to me? But I¡¯m very curious. What does your younger brother do?¡±

    ¡°He makes medicine. He¡¯s a biologist.¡± Wei Zimu was silent for a moment before giving a general answer.

    Yu Qian studied all sorts of pathogenic creatures and had extremely high medical skills. Unfortunately, his medical skills were not used to treat people. Wei Zimu did not n to tell anyone about this.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied. She could tell that Wei Zimu did not intend to say more, so she tactfully did not ask further.

    ¡°Do you want to visit Grandma?¡± The silent atmosphere between the two made Wei Zimu feel a little stuffy. He took the initiative to visit Old Madam Wei.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and waved at Xiao Bao. ¡°Come here.¡±

    This was the first time Xiao Bao had seen Old Madam Wei. He had a sweet mouth and looked obedient, making Old Madam Wei extremely happy. In the end, he left with a huge red packet.

    Wei Zimu sent Xia Wanyuan to the door and got into the car as usual. Xiao Bao leaned against the car window. ¡°Uncle Gentle, see you next time.¡±

    A warm smile appeared on Wei Zimu¡¯s face. ¡°Mm, see you next time.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Wanyuan, goodbye.¡±

    ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy, tell me. Thank you for taking care of me all this time.¡± Xia Wanyuan could feel that Wei Zimu really doted on her like a sister.

    ¡°With this sentence of yours, it¡¯s better than anything.¡±

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Wei Zimu stood on the spot for a while before returning to the courtyard.

    Just as he returned to the courtyard, Yu Qian called.

    ¡°Hey.¡±

    ¡°Brother, I need people.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice was cold and emotionless.

    ¡°What people?¡±

    ¡°An unborn fetus to a seventy-year old elderly. I need at least twenty people of every age.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s tone was as if he was talking about carrots and cabbages.

    ¡°What are you going to do? Didn¡¯t I agree to be your experiment?¡± Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Wei Zimu felt his entire body turn cold.

    ¡°You¡¯re only one person. There¡¯s nothing to observe.¡± Yu Qian chatted on the phone as he shook the test tube in his hand. ¡°Brother, do you remember what you promised me when I let you return to China to see Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Why must it be like this?¡± Wei Zimu sat in the dark room and felt that the bright sunlight outside was as distant as a lifetime ago. ¡°You clearly know how painful it is to be an experiment.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Yu Qian stopped shaking the test tube and his eyes froze. ¡°Brother, you know that it¡¯s painful to be an experiment subject? You should know how many years I¡¯ve been doing it, right? More than ten years. May I ask, who caused all of this?¡±

    Wei Zimu fell silent.

    He and Yu Qian were born into an ordinary family. Although their family was not rich, they did not have to worry about food and clothes. The two brothers were also raised in the hands of their parents.

    When he was young, he was lively and cheerful. When Yu Qian was young, he was soft and cute, innocent and cute. His parents were busy with work, so he brought Yu Qian along.

    However, he was too yful. At that time, he was just in time for the temple fair. He only cared about chasing after the flower boat. When he was done ying, Yu Qian had already disappeared into the sea of people.

    Yu Qian went missing. They called the police but could not find him for several years. His mother cried all day and thought too much before leaving the world. A good family fell apart. His originally loyal father drank every day and identally fell into the water and drowned one night when he was walking. Wei Zimu also became an orphan and drifted outside to beg for food until he was picked up by the Wei family.

    Compared to him, Yu Qian was not so lucky. Back then, Yu Qian had been carried away and sold to Old K in Continent F. He, who was only five years old, had be a tool to test the medicine.

    The underground world was truly a ce where the strong preyed on the weak. They were always on the verge of death. Yu Qian had never told Wei Zimu how he had reced the former overlord, Old K, to control the Dark Night Kingdom, but Wei Zimu could imagine how much despair and pain Yu Qian had experienced.

    This was also why Wei Zimu did notin about how Yu Qian treated him.

    He felt guilty.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    There was no change in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s useless to say sorry. Prepare the people I want. Go to Fuchun City in the southwest in ten days. Someone will pick you up then.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian hung up and focused on studying the liquid in the test tube.

    However, Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were red.

 Chapter 1031 - Apple of Oneâ€™s Eye

    <h4>Chapter 1031: Apple of One¡¯s Eye</h4>

    Wei Zimu felt that his heart had been torn into two. Half of it was moving vividly, and the other was suffering in hell.

    He was one of the most outstanding young people under China¡¯s traditional education. He was gentle and elegant, with a sunny heart. It was not an exaggeration to say that Wei Zimu was a person who would give money every time he met a tramp and would cry when he saw the g-raising ceremony.

    But that was two years ago, before he reunited with Yu Qian. He walked under the sunlight, tall and upright.

    After acknowledging Yu Qian, he suffered the gnawing of his conscience while helping Yu Qian do all sorts of outrageous things.

    Now, Yu Qian¡¯s request was getting worse and worse. The strings in Wei Zimu¡¯s heart had already broken to the extreme.

    In Continent F, Yu Qian finally left theboratory. Jayce weed him.

    ¡°Send someone to watch Wei Zimu and don¡¯t let him die.¡± Yu Qian saw through people¡¯s hearts. He knew where Wei Zimu¡¯s bottom line was and when to pull the rope.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce bowed his head respectfully.

    ¡ª¡ª

    China,

    At the filming location of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±, Xia Wanyuan went to the dressing room to change her clothes. Xiao Bao stood in the middle of the production team¡¯s venue alone and was sized up by everyone curiously.

    ¡°Ahhh, so cute!!¡±

    ¡°Is this the child of CEO Jun and Xia Wanyuan? This is too exquisite.¡±

    Xiao Bao looked around with wide eyes.<i>?The woman was not as beautiful as Auntie An Rao and Auntie Wei Jin. The man was not as handsome as Uncle Bo Xiao.</i>

    Xiao Bao¡¯s enthusiasm decreased by more than half, but he still waved politely at everyone. ¡°Hello, everyone!¡±

    This greeting instantly caused everyone to scream.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s hand that was dancing in midair froze. Facing the screams, Xiao Bao was at a loss.

    <i>Mommy, help! There are so many strange aunties here!</i>

    Just as the little person in Xiao Bao¡¯s mind was screaming crazily, Xia Wanyuan finally came out after putting on makeup. Xiao Bao ran towards Xia Wanyuan with his short legs and hugged her leg. ¡°Mommy, save me!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head and looked up. The stars in everyone¡¯s eyes were about to burst out as their gazes focused on Xiao Bao.

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face in amusement. ¡°Everyone likes you. What are you afraid of?¡±

    ¡°I feel like they¡¯re going to eat me.¡± Xiao Bao trembled.

    Xia Wanyuan was amused. ¡°No, they just like you very much. Mommy is going to film. Be good by the side.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Little tail Xiao Bao was very obedient.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had not joined the production team for more than half a month, it did not dy their progress. After all, the entire production team¡¯s investment came from the Jun Corporation. Everyone could afford to wait for thedy boss.

    The director had prepared toys for Xiao Bao, but he did not y with any of them. He obediently sat on a chair at the side and watched Xia Wanyuan film.

    They were filming a young scene today.

    In the towering pce, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a light pink pce dress. Shey by the Empress¡¯sp and watched her embroider.

    The camera gradually zoomed in. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity and surprise, with the innocence of a young girl. ¡°Mother, your embroidery is so beautiful.¡±

    ¡°In the future, you will embroider better than Mother.¡± The empress looked kindly at the little princess by herp.

    ¡°No, Mother¡¯s embroidery the most beautiful in the world.¡± The little princess smiled at the empress dependently, and shallow dimples appeared on her face.

    After filming the mother and daughter scene, they changed the scene.

    In the antique academy, the little princess was practicing her calligraphy seriously. Every stroke was carefully outlined. If she was not careful, she would be attacked by the strict gentleman.

    It was early spring, and butterflies were flying. As the little princess wrote, her attention was attracted by the butterflies by the window. Her blinking eyes followed the butterflies.

    Pa! The mister hit her with the ruler, scaring the little princess. ¡°Stretch out your hand.¡±

    The little princess blinked and reached out as if she had epted her fate. Sir hit her ten times before stopping. The little princess¡¯s palm was already red and swollen.

    At that moment, the little princess was still young. Her aggrieved eyes were filled with tears. She was pitiful and cute as she finished the homework assigned by the teacher.

    When the bell rang after ss, the little princess quickly ran into the royal harem. Before she arrived, her voice had already arrived. ¡°Mother, Teacher hit me again today. Boohoo, Mother.¡±

    The empress was reading beside the emperor. Hearing this voice, she shook her head helplessly. ¡°This child.¡±

    The emperor doted on the little princess very much. When he heard the little princess¡¯s sobbing voice, he panicked. ¡°My good princess, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, Father, Teacher hit me.¡± Xia Wanyuan cried pitifully, her tears falling hard, making one¡¯s heart ache.

    ¡°Why did he hit you? Tell Father. Father will support you.¡±

    ¡°Because I saw butterflies in ss.¡± The little princess was embarrassed and her face was a little red.

    ¡°Hahahahaha, then it¡¯s not Teacher Li¡¯s fault for hitting you. After all, when I wasn¡¯t serious in ss, Teacher Li didn¡¯t hold back when he hit me.¡± The emperorughed loudly, but seeing the little princess¡¯s pitiful look, he couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a butterfly? Father will bring you to see it.¡±

    With that, the emperor got someone to arrange it. That afternoon, butterflies flew everywhere in the imperial garden. They were colorful. The little princess wasughing and fooling around inside. She was the most carefree child.

    ¡°You just spoil her.¡± The empress looked at the emperor helplessly. There were so many butterflies, and everyone in the pce was mobilized to capture them.

    ¡°What are you saying? I won¡¯t spoil our precious daughter.¡± The emperor had a loving smile on his face and looked at the little princess with love.

    The staff of the production team followed and took photos of Xia Wanyuan. The more they took photos, the more they felt that the cute little child beside them was not Xia Wanyuan¡¯s child. The Xia Wanyuan in the camera was as innocent and pure as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. She did not look like a child at all.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes sparkled as he watched from the side.?<i>Mommy is so beautiful!! Mommy is the most beautiful person in the world!?</i>

    When it was almost time to get off work, Xia Wanyuan finallypleted her filming mission for the day. The director was still finishing filming, so Xia Wanyuan sat at the side in a daze.

    ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was a script she had personally written. It basically copied her life. Every scene had actually happened in her previous life.

    In her previous life, she had also been naughty andzy. Before the country was destroyed, she was the most beloved daughter of her parents. If she wanted to see butterflies, her father would get everyone in the pce to find butterflies for her.

    Now that she was walking the same path as in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan could not help but think of her father and mother.

    Xia Wanyuan was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not notice that the surrounding people had already quietened down.

    At the door, Jun Shiling walked over.

 Chapter 1032 - CEO Jun, Youâ€™re So Nice

    <h4>Chapter 1032: CEO Jun, You¡¯re So Nice</h4>

    Just as she was feeling sad, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling looking at her gently. The warmth in his eyes melted the disappointment on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan ced her hand on it and Jun Shiling pulled her up. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±

    This was the first time the production team had seen Jun Shiling in person. All the gazes were focused here.

    Everyone watched as Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan adjust her scarf, then kissed her right cheek gently. He held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand with his left and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand with his right as they left the set.

    The two big and one small figures condensed into the most beautiful scene in the setting sun.

    ¡°What a winner in life.¡± The onlookers could not help but sigh.

    ¡°In the past, I was envious that Xia Wanyuan could marry CEO Jun. Now, I¡¯m envious that CEO Jun can marry such a beautiful wife. Tsk tsk,parisons are really infuriating.¡±

    In the car, Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly. Xia Wanyuan knew that he wasforting her and smiled at him. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiao Bao leaned over and looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion. ¡°Are you unhappy?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Even though she was very disappointed just now, she was already better now. After all, the dead could not be chased, and the people in front of her needed to be cherished the most.

    Xiao Bao reached out and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°Mommy, I like you the most. Don¡¯t be unhappy. If you¡¯re unhappy, you can pinch my face.¡±

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan liked to pinch his little face the most.

    Xia Wanyuan really pinched him gently. ¡°Xiao Bao is so obedient.¡±

    ¡°Hehe ~¡±

    After the car drove for a while, Xia Wanyuan realized that they were not going towards the manor. ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°A g.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°Let¡¯s send Jun Yin to Grandpa¡¯s house to take care of him first. Then, apany me to a charity g.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xiao Bao was very willing to go to Old Master Jun.

    Although Old Master Jun was strict, that was towards Jun Shiling. To Xiao Bao, his great-grandson, he doted on him to the skies. Xiao Bao¡¯s treatment in the courtyard wasparable to the little crown prince.

    After chatting with Old Master Jun for a while and handing Xiao Bao to him, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left.

    Without Xiao Bao in the car, Jun Shiling began to be restless.

    Sensing the big hand on her waist, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling reproachfully. ¡°CEO Jun, can you be more serious?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°No, are you going to the production team to film every day recently?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The main part of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was Xia Wanyuan. Although this movie was invested by the Jun Corporation, she could not keep the production team waiting for her. A day of not working was equivalent to burning money.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll pick you up every day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°What? Aren¡¯t you busy? It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know the way.¡±

    ¡®I¡¯m busy, but I still want to pick you up.¡± Although Jun Shiling was very busy, he could always postpone work, but not Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and nodded. She had integrated into modern society and had seen many things.

    It was rare for a man and woman to be able to reach Jun Shiling¡¯s level when they were in love. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had so many heavy responsibilities. Xia Wanyuan was very touched.

    ¡°Are you touched?¡± Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up with a smile in her eyes. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    Jun Shiling tapped his right cheek. ¡°Then give me some benefits.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and kissed him. Jun Shiling gently pulled her back and covered her lips with his.

    Guohua Hotel.

    On the luxurious bed, a pair of snow-white legs were exposed outside the nket, but the man by the window was not in the mood to look at this.

    ¡°Hubby ~¡± Seeing Jiang Kui¡¯s troubled expression, Zou Man could not help but call out.

    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°I¡¯m busy. I have to go down and attend the charity gter.¡±

    ¡°Charity g? I heard that the pink beauty¡¯s diamond is going to be auctioned. Hubby, that¡¯s so beautiful.¡± Zou Man had always liked pink diamonds. The one being auctioned this time was said to be a masterpiece that an old collector had kept for many years.

    ¡°Buy it if you like it.¡± Jiang Kui had always been very generous to Zou Man in terms of money. He basically gave her whatever she wanted.

    ¡°Then, can I follow you to the g? I want to see it too,¡± Zou Man probed.

    ¡°Why are you going? No.¡± As Zou Man had expected, Jiang Kui frowned and rejected Zou Man¡¯s suggestion.

    Zou Man understood that in Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes, she was just a ything. He could give her money, but she could not be exposed.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Zou Man gripped the nket under her tightly, her expression unchanged.

    The g was about to begin, so Jiang Kui left the room. Not long after he left, Zou Man stood up and opened the wardrobe at the side. Inside was a fiery red evening gown.

    She was indignant, especially when she saw Xia Wanyuan like that.<i>?As a woman, why could Xia Wanyuan marry into a prestigious family? Why can¡¯t I, though I¡¯ve been following Jiang Kui for so long??</i>

    Jiang Kui had a special characteristic, which was his especially good reputation. He had worked hard for many years to maintain his clean reputation. Zou Man decided to take a gamble. She bet that when the media exposed her rtionship with Jiang Kui, Jiang Kui would force her to be his girlfriend.

    She wanted to be the young madam of the Jiang family and not a shameful pet.

    Thinking of this, Zou Man made up her mind and pressed a message that she had already typed on her phone. Then, she took off her nightgown and took out the evening gown from the wardrobe.

 Chapter 1033 - Envy the Women

    <h4>Chapter 1033: Envy the Women</h4>

    In the auditorium downstairs, there were gradually more guests.

    The people attending the banquet this time were all big families in the capital. Looking around the hall, everyone was gathered and chatting. However, under the surface of peace, there were countless undercurrents.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, long time no see.¡± As one of the top families in Beijing, the moment Jiang Kui entered, a group of people surrounded him and greeted him.

    ¡°Long time no see.¡± Jiang Kui was the future sessor of the Jiang family, so he naturally needed to rope in these families in Beijing.

    Looking at Jiang Kui, who was surrounded by everyone in the middle of the hall, some of the onlookers revealed mockery in their eyes. ¡°Today¡¯s g is really lively. I heard that Jun Shiling ising too.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that exciting?¡± The others echoed. ¡°I really don¡¯t know who will be the final winner between the Jiang family and the Jun family.¡±

    Two tigers could not share one mountain. China could not amodate two top families at the same time. Either the Jiang family and the Jun family would definitely be defeated.

    Meanwhile, the major families had already smelled the smoke of war.

    ¡°Do you think Jun Shiling is better, or is the Jiang family stronger?¡±

    ¡°The Jun family. Now, the Jun family¡¯s businesses control the economic lifeline. Furthermore, I heard that Jun Shiling is involved in the firearms industry.¡±

    ¡°That might not be the case.¡± Someone disagreed. ¡°The Jiang family¡¯s business in China might not beparable to the Jun family, but I heard that the Jiang family¡¯s power overseas has developed extremely quickly, especially with the few super forces in Continent M, Continent O, and Continent F.¡±

    Just as everyone was whispering, there was amotion at the door. Everyone looked over and was stunned.

    The families in Beijing had very good ears. Everyone knew that Jun Shiling had a wife, but this was the first time everyone had really seen Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan appear at the same time as husband and wife.

    Jun Shiling was dressed in a ck suit, looking clear and handsome. Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a white strapless evening gown, her hair tied behind her head. A ne filled with pink diamonds on her slender neck shone under the light, and her graceful elegance seemed to be natural.

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. The two of them slowly walked forward under everyone¡¯s gazes. Jiang Kui was originally the center of attention, but when the two of them arrived, Jiang Kui clearly felt his presence weaken.

    ¡°Tsk, I heard that before Xia Wanyuan was acknowledged by the Wei family, she was a small celebrity from a small family. However, with her bearing, I¡¯m afraid she can¡¯t be raised without decades, right? It¡¯s really strange.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had already taken their seats, the others discussed softly behind.

    ¡°Finding the right wife can prosper a family. You were just talking about the Jun-Jiangpetition. In my opinion, just based on this Xia Wanyuan, I bet that the Jun family will be the final winner.¡±

    Although everyone¡¯s discussion was soft, how could Jiang Kui not hear it? He clenched his fists and looked at Xia Wanyuan, whose side profile was shockingly beautiful not far away. Indignation surged in his heart.

    The more he understood Xia Wanyuan, the more shocked Jiang Kui became.

    In the upper-ss families, everyone knew how important it was to marry a capable mistress of the household. In his opinion, Xia Wanyuan was an excellent helper who could make Jun Shiling¡¯s strength increase.

    With her, the Jun family would only rise faster and faster. To the Jiang family, the rise of the Jun family meant the decline of their Jiang family. This was something he definitely did not want to see.

    At that moment, a waiter walked over and ced a ss of water for Jiang Kui. Jiang Kui took the water and nodded at him.

    After the waiter walked around, he finally went to the first row and ced two sses of water on Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s table.

    ¡°Are you cold?¡± Jun Shiling reached out and touched the back of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. It was a little cold. He called Lin Jing and soon, Lin Jing brought a coat into the hall.

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s only a little cold. I won¡¯t look good in a coat.¡±

    Jun Shiling helped her put on her coat. ¡°Who are you trying to make happy by looking good?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and revealed a small dimple. ¡°You.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling tidied her hair and whispered into her ear, ¡°I¡¯ll slowly admire how good you look in a gown tonight. Now, you don¡¯t have to look especially good.¡±

    Under the wide sleeve of his coat, Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°You¡¯re indecent.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and took half a step back. ¡°Alright, the auction is about to begin. Tell me which one you like.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s table was the focus of the entire venue, and their actions were seen by the others.

    ¡°They¡¯re quite good at pretending.¡± Some men could not help but mock. In their high positions, almost all the beauties in the world were at their fingertips. Naturally, they had to marry virtuous wives, but the colorful gs outside did not sway. Husbands and wives basically respected each other. They had never seen someone like Jun Shiling.

    However, the women present did not think much of it. Women had to be more meticulous. In the courtyard, they naturally knew what it was like if their husbands did not love them. Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s actions towards Xia Wanyuan, the women¡¯s hearts were extremelyplicated.

    They had never seen such a gentle look in their husband¡¯s eyes.

    Everyone had all sorts of thoughts. At this moment, the auction began.

    One by one, the long-lost collections contributed by private collectors appeared in front of everyone.

    As Jiang Kui listened to the introduction of the various auction items, he paid attention to themotion beside him.

    Finally, when it was time for the third piece of jewelry to be auctioned, Jun Shiling drank the water on the table.

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up as he sent Jiang Yun a message.

    In the suite behind the hall, Jiang Yun was wearing a high slit dress. After reading the message from Jiang Kui, Jiang Yun smiled mockingly. ¡°How disgusting.¡±

    However, what could she do about it? She was the daughter of the Jiang family.

 Chapter 1034 - Two Hundred Million Pink Diamonds

    <h4>Chapter 1034: Two Hundred Million Pink Diamonds</h4>

    ¡°The next piece of jewelry was donated by a mysterious private collector. This diamond was once kept by the royal family of Ennd andter flowed into the public. Because of its beautiful color, it is known as a peerless beauty among diamonds. Next, let¡¯s take a look at this purple-pink diamond.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen on the stage began to disy this purple-pink diamond in all directions.

    As expected of a peerless beauty among diamonds. Just the dreamy purple and pink color was enough to make any woman go crazy.

    ¡°Okay, then let the auction begin. The starting price for this pink beauty is ten million!¡±

    ¡°Do you like it?¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand into his pocket and warmed her hand with his warmth.

    Xia Wanyuan shifted her gaze from the diamond. ¡°It looks good.¡± Counting her age in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mental age was no longer young. Perhaps because of this, Xia Wanyuan liked the color of pink very much.

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡± Jun Shiling hooked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s palm. ¡°Remember to think about how to repay me when you get back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him reproachfully and wanted to retract her hand, but Jun Shiling held it tightly and did not let her leave.

    ¡°Then I don¡¯t want it.¡± Xia Wanyuan understood what Jun Shiling meant by repayment.

    ]¡±No, I want to give it to you.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and raised the sign to 50 million.

    Jiang Kui also wanted to bid for the diamond. After all, he had promised Zou Man.

    Furthermore, if Jun Shiling wanted such a finale item, he did not want Jun Shiling to get it.

    Jun Shiling and Jiang Kui kept increasing the price. Soon, no one else followed. Only Jun Shiling and Jiang Kui werepeting.

    ¡°Two hundred million.¡± After ten rounds of bidding, Jun Shiling finally gave a price.

    Facing this price, Jiang Kui hesitated for a moment. ¡°Two hundred and ten million.¡±

    ¡°250 million.¡± Jun Shiling raised the price directly. He was determined to get this diamond.

    Jiang Kui nced at the pink diamond and finally looked away.

    There was a huge difference between him and Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling was the head of the Jun family himself. He could spend as much money as he wanted, but Jiang Kui was different. Jiang Kui was the future sessor of the Jiang family.

    Now, the Jiang family was still controlled by Father Jiang. 250 million yuan was not much to the Jiang family, but to buy a piece of jewelry, they needed Father Jiang¡¯s approval.

    <i>Forget it</i>, Jiang Kuiforted himself.?<i>Why should Zou Man wear jewelry? Spending 200 million to buy a diamond is not a wise move.?</i>

    ¡°Okay, CEO Jun bid 250 million. Once, twice, thrice. Congrattions on obtaining this pink beauty!¡±

    Apuse sounded in the hall. The men felt that Jun Shiling was burning money by spending more than 200 million to buy a diamond. The women were so envious of Xia Wanyuan that their hearts were filled with jealousy.

    ¡°CEO Jun, please sign the contract backstage.¡± The staff came forward and bowed respectfully.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling squeezed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Wait for me here.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling and the staff enter the backstage, Jiang Kui stood up and walked to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Congrattions, Madam Jun. This pink beauty indeed deserves a peerless beauty like you.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan adjusted her clothes and looked at Jiang Kui with a frown.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel that CEO Jun and Madam Jun¡¯s love is very enviable.¡± Jiang Kui was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly changed the topic. ¡°I just don¡¯t know if CEO Jun is doing it on the surface or really taking you to heart?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jiang Kui stared straight at Xia Wanyuan. Even though she was wearing a suit jacket, it could not hide her elegance. Jiang Kui¡¯s throat rolled as he called for a waiter and took two sses of water. ¡°I¡¯ll use tea as wine to toast the beauty.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him coldly and did not take Jiang Kui¡¯s cup. Instead, she stood up to leave.

    At this moment, a staff member suddenly ran out and shouted, ¡°Oh no¡± When he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, he hid.

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he waved at the staff. ¡°Why are you shouting? What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    The staff looked at Xia Wanyuan fearfully and blushed. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    ¡°Tell me, what happened? Did something happen to CEO Jun? If anything happens to CEO Jun, can you bear the responsibility?¡± Jiang Kui suddenly scolded sternly, scaring the staff.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s CEO Jun. He said that he has a headache. After signing the contract, he entered a lounge. In the end, I waited at the door for a long time but he didn¡¯te out. I called him a few times but no one answered. I¡¯m worried that something happened to CEO Jun.¡±

    As soon as the staff finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan walked backstage.

    ¡°Hey, Mrs. Jun, wait for me. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Jiang Kui smiled and followed Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 1035 - I Dont Care, You Have to Help Me

    <h4>Chapter 1035: I Don¡¯t Care, You Have to Help Me</h4>

    The staff brought Xia Wanyuan backstage. Because the auction had ended, the backstage was especially quiet.

    Just as they were about to approach the lounge, a woman¡¯s voice came from inside.

    Jiang Kui suddenly stopped Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, why don¡¯t you not go? Why make it so ugly?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Jiang Kuiughed out loud. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re smart. Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know what it means to turn a blind eye? As a man, I understand CEO Jun¡¯s thoughts very well. No matter how beautiful Mrs. Jun is, I can¡¯t guarantee that CEO Jun only has you in his eyes.¡±

    ¡°Move.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to waste her breath on him. ¡°Don¡¯t me me for attacking.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Kui took a step back and spread his hands. ¡°Then I won¡¯t care.¡±

    The guests had already dispersed, but the many media reporters outside the hotel had not retreated. Before everyone came, they had received a secret news that there was going to be a big news tonight. They had been squatting for the entire night, but they had not found any explosive news.

    Just as everyone was wondering if they had been yed, the hotel suddenly fell into chaos.

    ¡°Someone, there¡¯s a fire backstage!! CEO Jun and CEO Jiang are still backstage!¡± The staff¡¯s shout immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    <i>Jun Shiling?! Jiang Kui?! </i>As expected, it was a breaking news. A group of reporters carried their cameras and began to rush backstage.

    As expected, there was a fire backstage that burned into the lounge.

    Seeing the thick smokeing out from the crack of the lounge door, the staff knocked hard on the door with the fire extinguisher. The door was locked from the inside, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time. The staff was worried that the fire would be bigger if it was dyed, so he simply knocked the door open.

    ......

    Unexpectedly when the door crashed open, the fire inside was not big. Only a carpet near the door was burning and smoking.

    The fire was not big, so everyone was relieved. However, in the next moment, their gazes shifted to the sofa. The staff was stunned for a moment. When they reacted to protect the guests¡¯ privacy, the reporters beside them had already pressed the shutter until it was about to break.

    On the sofa, a nket was covering the man and woman who were entangled. The two pairs of naked arms indicated what was happening under the nket.

    Hearing the shutter sound, the two of them subconsciously looked to the side. The camera sounded even faster.

    Because everyone was too familiar with that face. It was the faces of the Jiang family¡¯s crown prince, Jiang Kui, and the famous designer, Zou Man.

    At this moment, the hotel management rushed over. ¡°What are you filming? Leave quickly.¡±

    Under the stop of the staff, the reporters were chased away.

    On the sofa, Jiang Kui seemed to be still unconscious. He buried himself in Zou Man¡¯s neck. A hint of disdain appeared in the manager¡¯s eyes. <i>These rich people really know how to y. </i>Then, he closed the door for them.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s heavy breathing blew behind her ear, and Zou Man¡¯s red lips curled up slightly.

    She had originally wanted to appear with Jiang Kui at the auction and be photographed by the media. Who would have thought that she would be tied up here just as she left the room?

    At first, she was worried that someone was going to rob her, but an hourter, Jiang Kui actually entered the room. Furthermore, he looked like he was unconscious and his face was flushed. Zou Man knew that he had been schemed against when she saw his expression.

    If it was any other time, Zou Man might have helped Jiang Kui call for a doctor. However, she hade tonight to expose herself to Jiang Kui. Now that she looked at it, it was a good opportunity. Zou Man took advantage of the situation and rolled onto the sofa with Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui eagerly nted kisses on Zou Man¡¯s neck one by one. While his thoughts were in chaos, he subconsciously called out, ¡°Xia Wanyuan...¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s body stiffened, and her eyes revealed monstrous jealousy. Sheughed mockingly. ¡°Xia Wanyuan? You can¡¯t marry her in your life.¡±

    In the night, a ck car was driving towards the manor.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s face was flushed red, and waves of heat surged in his body.

    ¡°Jun Shiling?¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m fine. I can still hold on for a while.¡± Jun Shiling knew what was in the cup, but in order to eliminate Jiang Kui¡¯s vignce, Jun Shiling still drank it.

    I¡¯ll call Shen Xiu,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she took out her phone, but Jun Shiling took it away.

    ¡°No, you¡¯re enough.¡± Jun Shiling leaned on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. The heat blew behind her ear, making Xia Wanyuan shrink back.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling, but he hugged her especially tightly and could not move her at all. ¡°Jun Shiling, I suspect that you drank that water on purpose. It¡¯s not just to lower Jiang Kui¡¯s guard, right?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care. I feel ufortable.¡± Jun Shiling breathed heavily as he pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°You have to help me.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1036: CEO Jun, You Have Many Tricks. I Like You So Much</h4>

    ¡°What if I don¡¯t help?¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling was asking for benefits because he had drunk that water.

    Jun Shiling rubbed against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder, his consciousness a little blurry. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t help. I can¡¯t do anything to you. I like you so much.¡±

    This sentence made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skip a beat. She smiled. ¡°What sweet words.¡±

    However, reality proved that sweet words were still very useful. Jun Shiling got what he wanted and ate the meat. He even coaxed Xia Wanyuan into a position she had never tried before.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, it¡¯s been so long. The effects of the medicine have actually passed, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan was pressed against the wall by Jun Shiling and kicked him gently.

    Jun Shiling, who was leaning on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder, paused. ¡°No.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed angrily. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re being shameless.¡±

    Support our

    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± Jun Shiling was indeed a little shameless. ¡°Baby, you¡¯re not good to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was confused. ¡°How am I not good to you?¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t feed me every day.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was still a little aggrieved. ¡°I miss you.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan pretended to get up from the ground. ¡°How else you want me to feed you? You always take so long. If youe every night, will you still let me go to work?¡±

    Pleased by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling chuckled and stood up straight to look at her. As Xia Wanyuan had expected, his eyes were clear and very awake. ¡°Then are you dissatisfied with me?¡±

    How could Xia Wanyuan stand being looked at by Jun Shiling like this and even ask such a question? Her neck was covered in pink. ¡°Move, go to sleep.¡±

    ......

    However, Jun Shiling picked her up. ¡°Tell me, are you satisfied? If not, I won¡¯t let you sleep.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and did not speak. Jun Shiling kissed her ear from time to time. Xia Wanyuan could not stand it anymore and could only nod. ¡°I¡¯m satisfied. I¡¯m satisfied. Is that enough?¡±

    ¡°Oh, so Madam is so satisfied with me. Then I can¡¯t let you down. I have to make you more satisfied.¡± With that, Jun Shiling separated Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs and let her wrap around his waist.

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°You only know how to trick me.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Smelling Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragrance, Jun Shiling felt his love for her overflow. ¡°I¡¯ll trick you. Who else would I trick?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth. Jun Shiling was the right person no matter what he said, especially at a time like this. She could not get around Jun Shiling¡¯s tricks.

    It was another night without any rest.

    The next day, Jun Shiling greeted the production team. Xia Wanyuan slept peacefully until noon.

    While she was sleeping, there was already a hugemotion online.

    Because Zou Man¡¯s studio had been having widespread promotions recently, Zou Man was very famous on Weibo. Everyone knew that she was a genius designer.

    However, no amount of publicity couldpare to the poprity of this news.

    The news of ¡°Zou Man and Jiang Kui¡¯s rtionship exposed¡± quickly swept through the Inte.

    Who was Jiang Kui? Everyone knew that he was the young master of the Jiang family, the future sessor of the Jiang family.

    He and Zou Man were originally unrted people, but now that their rtionship had been exposed, it naturally attracted huge attention.

    The photos released by the media were also very trending. A nket covered them, two pairs of intertwined feet, and two naked shoulders. It was too impactful.

    [ Oh my god... This rtionship has been exposed... It¡¯s so exciting. Can I make a small request? Can you lift the nket for us to take a look? We¡¯re vigers. We want to know what¡¯s under the nket? ]

    [LSP in front, don¡¯t ruin the reputation of the rural people. The world is deteriorating day by day. What are you saying? Can¡¯t you be serious? Learn from me. I want to see it too, but do you think I¡¯ll say it?]

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is it that exciting? No matter how I look at Zou Man¡¯s expression, she¡¯s not surprised at all. I feel that she¡¯s quite calm. I instantly imagined countless plots to force her to abdicate.]

    The Inte was in an uproar. In the hotel, Father Jiang kicked Jiang Kui away. ¡°Unfilial son!! What have you done!¡±

 Chapter 1037 - Relationship Exposed; Adorable Family

    <h4>Chapter 1037: Rtionship Exposed; Adorable Family</h4>

    Jiang Kui had drunk too much drugs unconsciously and did not wake up until the morning. Hey on the sofa with Zou Man and was kicked out of bed by Father Jiang, who hade to look for him angrily.

    ¡°Father, Father, I was set up. It was Jun Shiling!! Jun Shiling set me up!¡± Jiang Kui finally reacted. He looked at Zou Man, who was sitting on the bed with a nket over her. After connecting the dots, he knew that he had been set up by Jun Shiling.

    It was fine if Jiang Kui did not mention it, but once he did, Father Jiang became even angrier. He pped him again. ¡°How dare you say that?! Do you have a brain?!¡±

    The Jiang family and the Jun family were both big families. Although outsiders did not say anything, they would alwayspare the two families in their hearts.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s ability to control the power was obvious. He was a young talent who would not shirk his responsibilities. Inparison, Jiang Kui, who was protected by Father Jiang, was much inferior. Now, Jiang Kui was still insisting that he had been set up by Jun Shiling. This would only make Father Jiang feel that he was useless.

    ¡°Father, I really didn¡¯t know. I don¡¯t even know this woman. Really!¡± Jiang Kui pointed at Zou Man in a hurry, wanting to remove everything on him.

    Zou Man, who was sitting on the bed, met Jiang Kui¡¯s heartless gaze. Her eyes were filled with mockery. This man was much more heartless than she had imagined.

    ¡°Hubby ~¡± Zou Man adjusted the nket on her body, revealing only her beautiful face. ¡°This is boring, right? Room 2016, your pants are still on the bed.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Jiang Kui knelt on the ground and looked at Zou Man as if he was about to eat her up.

    ¡°Unfilial son!¡± Father Jiang kicked Jiang Kui again. ¡°Come back with me!¡±

    With that, Father Jiang turned around and left. Jiang Kui got up from the ground and followed Father Jiang with a dejected expression.

    After the Jiang father and son left, Zou Man lifted the nket and slowly put on her clothes.

    On the way back, Jiang Kui used all sorts of excuses to remove himself cleanly. Father Jiang did not say a word and was silent the entire time.

    ......

    It was only when he entered the Jiang family¡¯s door and it was closed that Father Jiang suddenly exploded and pped Jiang Kui hard. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m angry at you for ying with women?! Unfilial son! You¡¯re the one who¡¯s disappointing! It¡¯s fine if you y, but you¡¯re even set up by others. How can I be at ease handing the Jiang family to you? I might as well hand it to Jiang Yun! Your sister is much more hardworking than you!¡±

    As Jiang Kui listened to Father Jiang¡¯s reprimand, he clenched his fists tightly.<i>?As expected, the old man had the thought of handing the Jiang family to a woman. Impossible, I would never allow it.?</i>

    Jiang Kui forced himself to calm down. ¡°Dad, what should we do now? I¡¯ll suppress the trending topic.¡±

    ¡°Do you think you can suppress it?¡± Father Jiang was scheming. He knew that Jun Shiling was adding fuel to the fire. Since Jun Shiling was involved, he would not let them suppress the trending topic so easily.

    ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    ¡°Announce your rtionship with that woman and break up secretly after dating for a while.¡± Father Jiang thought for a while and finally gave a suggestion.

    ¡°You unfilial son, what photo was taken?! The public rtions department doesn¡¯t even know how to refute the rumors for you. They directly determined that you¡¯re a couple and sued the media for viting privacy. You need to cut ties with that woman after this calms down.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Dad, you¡¯re still the wise one.¡± After hearing Father Jiang¡¯s words, Jiang Kui was finally relieved. ¡°I¡¯ll do it now.¡±

    ¡°Go.¡± Father Jiang waved his hand. Seeing Jiang Kui scramble out, Father Jiang shook his head. ¡°How useless. The Jiang family is unlucky.¡±

    Thinking that the Jiang family would be handed over to someone like Jiang Kui in the future, Father Jiang sighed in his heart. Compared to Jun Shiling, who was the same age, Father Jiang felt that Jiang Kui was even less useful. However, he only had one son. Although Jiang Yun was capable, she was a woman.

    Just as there was an uproar on Weibo, a Weibo ount that had been certified as the eldest young master of the Jiang family posted a post.

    @ Jiang Kui: ¡°Manman @ Zou Man is my girlfriend. The media reporters have vited our private privacy. The Jiang Corporation¡¯s legal team will investigate the person who spread the rumors.¡±

    [Wow, is this the crown prince of the Jiang family? The real person came out to respond!]

    666, one designer married Jun Shiling, and the other designer is with the young master of the Jiang family. Do the big shots especially like designers? Is it toote for me to learn design now?]

    [To be honest, Jiang Kui¡¯s response is quite responsible. I¡¯m a fan. It¡¯s a love between a god and a genius designer.]

    As Father Jiang had expected, Jiang Kui¡¯s Weibo post quickly changed the tide of the news.

    Jiang Kui had never had any scandals in public. This was the first time news about his feelings had leaked. Zou Man¡¯s usual public rtions image was also very good. The Jiang family¡¯s public rtions department got the fake reviewers to package their love.

    Jiang Kui had suddenly be a rich young master who was untainted. He fell in love with Zou Man at first sight and was deeply in love. Soon, he attracted arge number of fans.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xia Wanyuan was lying on the bed reading Weibo when a pair of hands surrounded her waist.

    Xia Wanyuan trembled from the cold and shrank forward. ¡°Jun Shiling, your hands are so cold.¡±

    Jun Shiling retracted his hand and ced his head on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You found me hot yesterday and cold today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down her phone and turned around. She kicked Jun Shiling through the nket. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan with his cold lips. ¡°Baby, are you getting up?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Help me wear my clothes.¡±

    Jun Shiling warmed his hand under the nket for a while before going to get some clothes to help Xia Wanyuan put them on.

    Looking at Jun Shiling, who was squatting by the bed and helping her put on her socks, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart warmed.

    Ever since the two of them confirmed their rtionship, Jun Shiling had personally experienced her matters and helped her wear shoes and socks. He was not unwilling at all.

    Xia Wanyuan was amused. Her feet moved in Jun Shiling¡¯s palm, not letting him wear socks.

    Jun Shiling tried twice but could not put it on. He stood up and pressed Xia Wanyuan on the nket. ¡°Nonsense.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan tapped Jun Shiling¡¯s chest. ¡°Didn¡¯t you mess around yesterday too?¡±

    The smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to, I can sleep with you for a while more.¡±

    Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan immediately pushed Jun Shiling away and extended her leg to him. ¡°Wear socks.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not continue to tease her and patiently helped Xia Wanyuan put on her clothes.

    Downstairs, Mother Li had already prepared food.

    ¡°Mommy, why are you up sote? It¡¯s so tiring for you.¡± Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was walking downstairs, with heartache.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed to face Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent gaze. Although was indeed ¡®tired¡¯, it was all Jun Shiling¡¯s fault for pestering her.

    ¡°Eat.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan over and red at Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao immediately sat up obediently and waited for Mother Li to scoop rice for him.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan dragged the little tail Xiao Bao to Qing University.

    After taking leave for more than half a month, the students who heard the news were about to break through the threshold of Qing University.

    Everyone was looking forward to a little panda jumping into the ssroom.

    ¡°Hello, Brother and Sister. Mommy said she would be five minuteste and asked me to supervise everyone¡¯s revision. Alright, everyone can take out your books and read them. You have to be quiet.¡± Xiao Bao stood on the podium with difficulty and imitated Xia Wanyuan to assign tasks to the students.

    Everyone¡¯s gazes were focused on Xiao Bao, who was less than a meter away. Everyone found him extremely cute because of his fake maturity.

    Xiao Bao widened his eyes and epted everyone¡¯s scrutiny in embarrassment. He was clearly so shy that his face was red, but he still stood upright as a little teacher.

    Three minutester, Xia Wanyuan finally arrived. Xiao Bao secretly heaved a sigh of relief and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg. ¡°Mommy, look how well I helped you manage them.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head, then looked down the stage. ¡°Does everyone mind if I put him aside and let him sit in for the lesson? He¡¯s very obedient and won¡¯t be noisy.¡±

    The students below the stage shook their heads crazily. ¡°No, no.¡±

    Not only did they not mind, but they even wanted to tten the little cutie¡¯s soft hair!!

    <h4>Chapter 1038: Brother I Beg You</h4>

    It was another ss where the students fainted from cuteness and theizens cried from cuteness online.

    Watching the Qing University students secretly upload the video of Xia Wanyuan attending ss, Xia Wanyuan was teaching seriously on the podium. Sitting on a small stool beside the podium was a cute child in a panda suit. As if sensing that a camera was filming him, Xiao Bao turned around and smiled with two dimples, his big eyes filled with stars.

    [I really want to poke the little cutie¡¯s dimples. How can I skip marriage and have such a cute child?]

    [ The one in front, the first step is that you have to look like Xia Wanyuan. Alright, after saying the first step, I feel that there¡¯s no need to say the next 108 steps. After all, who can look like Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [I¡¯m jealous. When I was young, I didn¡¯t work hard, and now I can only bathe myself in tears. If I could get into Qing University, I could listen to Yuan Yuan¡¯s lecture and look at her cute little child at the same time. Boohoo, I¡¯m not even worthy of chasing celebrities now.]

    After the ss ended, Xiao Bao sat obediently at the side as Xia Wanyuan had said. He did not move at all. Only when Xia Wanyuan called out to him did Xiao Bao leave with her.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the vastnd, there was and of light and a dark domain hidden in the corners.

    There was one less tramp on the streets, and a baby was bought in the remote countryside. There was one less lonely old woman in the mountains. In thisnd with more than a billion people, no one would notice it, and they had lesser presence than a gust of wind.

    And this disappearance bit by bit gathered a chain of profits for human trafficking.

    ¡°Brother, do you think that if you don¡¯t do it, others won¡¯t help me?¡± Yu Qian sat on the chair and gently rubbed his eyebrows.

    ¡°I can¡¯t do it.¡± Wei Zimu stood on the Wei family¡¯s corporation building and looked at the traffic under his feet. His eyes wereplicated. ¡°You clearly know that I can¡¯t do it.¡±

    Wei Zimu took a tentative step forward. Yu Qian¡¯s cold voice came from the phone. ¡°Brother, retract your foot. Don¡¯t think about dying. If you die, who will protect your Sister Wanyuan?¡±

    ......

    Wei Zimu paused. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    ¡°Not much.¡± The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I want you to live and see how I tear this ridiculous world apart step by step.¡±

    ¡°Lunatic.¡± Wei Zimu gripped his phone tightly. ¡°They¡¯re all innocent people. They didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Innocent people shouldn¡¯t be hurt?¡± Yu Qian sneered. ¡°What a joke.¡±

    The primary school not far away happened to just finish their lessons. Arge group of primary school students walked out singing nursery rhymes. Their small appearance reminded Wei Zimu of the past Yu Qian.

    At that time, Yu Qian would also pester him to call him brother and ask him to buy candy for him. His eyes were filled with innocence.

    However, those human traffickers had destroyed everything.

    Now, Yu Qian was going to destroy others¡¯ families in the same way.

    Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were red, as if the vitality in his eyes had pierced his heartstrings that were about to break. He leaned on the rooftop and finally could not help but sob. He covered his face with his hand. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m begging you. Can you stop?¡±

    On the other end of the line, there was no fluctuation in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. They were as cold as snow, as if nothing could provoke him.

    Wei Zimu cried for a long time. Yu Qian did not hang up the phone and listened to Wei Zimu cry quietly without any response.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°The future Madam Jiang, congrattions. You fought a beautiful battle this time.¡± In the studio, the manager weed Zou Man the moment she entered.

    ¡°How¡¯s the public opinion online?¡± Zou Man smiled smugly.

    ¡°It¡¯s all under control. Now that your love story with that Young Master Jiang has attracted many fans online, your personal image is also very good.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Zou Man flipped through the magazine in front of her. ¡°Find more topics to talk about Xia Wanyuan. I want to suppress her arrogance.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The manager guaranteed Zou Man confidently. ¡°The route we set for you is to step on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation and make you famous. Now that you¡¯ve formed a rtionship with the Jiang family, with their power, your future will be bright.¡±

    Not long after, on the Inte, the news of Xia Wanyuan copying Zou Man¡¯s design was dug up by the marketing ounts again.

 Chapter 1039 - CEO Jun and Bo Xiao as Brothers

    <h4>Chapter 1039: CEO Jun and Bo Xiao as Brothers</h4>

    In the past, the marketing ounts did not dare to publicize these marketing topics. After all, Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife. No one had the need to fight the richest man head-on.

    However, it was different now. Zou Man was the girlfriend of the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Kui. From the looks of it, she was very likely to be the future wife. With the Jiang family backing her, the marketing ount became bolder.

    ¡°The Jiang family and the Jun family are both two big families in Beijing, and the two madams are designers. Xia Wanyuan, this Mrs. Jun, copied Zou Man¡¯s design. It feels a little embarrassing for the Jun family.¡±

    With someone taking the lead, the people behind echoed, ¡°Tsk tsk, looks like the wife of the Jun family is inferior to the wife of the Jiang family.¡±

    [Pfft!! Are you shameless? That Zou Man and Jiang Kui haven¡¯t even started dating. Why are you dreaming about Madam Jiang? Shameless.]

    [I¡¯m speechless. giarism? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design ability is world-renowned. Is there a need to copy Zou Man?]

    [ To be honest, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design standards are indeed not bad, but is there a problem with her factory¡¯s design copying Zou Man¡¯s design from many years ago? Everyone is not blind. It¡¯s obvious. ]

    Zou Man and Jiang Kui relied on their huge marketing to attract a group of fans on the Inte. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling also had a huge number of fans. Both sides argued fervently on the Inte, and no one gave in to the other.

    There were even arge number of marketing ountsparing their growth trajectory.

    Zou Man came from a famous school and graduated from the world¡¯s top design school with A results.

    Xia Wanyuan had cut in halfway through. It had been less than a year since she learned how to design and participate inpetitions.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foundation is unstable, so it¡¯s normal for her to copy Zou Man¡¯s design in the early stages. Why make it so ugly? No one will me her for admitting her mistake.¡±

    There were clearly too many words on the Inte. An Rao was almost angered to death as she scrolled through the news at home. Hence, she, who had been hiding at home for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of theizens.

    @ An Rao: ¡°You¡¯re the one who giarized! Our Yuan Yuan has never done such sneaky things. Whoever secretly stirs up trouble knows better.¡±

    [Hahaha, look how angry our An Rao is. Don¡¯t be angry, be careful of your baby.]

    [ Pat An Rao¡¯s head. Queen An is domineering! I¡¯ll scold whoever dares to touch my sister! ]

    However, the domineering An Rao in the hearts of theizens was on the phone with Bo Xiao.

    ¡°They¡¯re so infuriating. They actually said that Yuan Yuan giarized. Shameless!¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled dotingly. ¡°You¡¯re a pregnant woman, don¡¯t be worried. Jun Shiling will handle these things. Why are you worried about this?¡±

    ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m very angry.¡± An Rao snorted softly. ¡°Bo Xiao, when can youe back ~¡±

    ¡°Soon. Take good care of the baby and give birth to a beautiful son for me.¡± Bo Xiao could imagine An Rao¡¯s cute expression when he heard her voice.

    ¡°You only know sons. You favor boys over girls!¡± These few days, every time the gender of the fetus was mentioned, Bo Xiao was very obsessed. However, An Rao wanted a beautiful little daughter.

    ¡°No, I like both men and women, but I prefer it to be a son.¡± Bo Xiao looked at the sunlight entering the window and narrowed his eyes slightly.

    <i>Give birth to a son. If you don¡¯t have me by your side in the future, he can protect you in my ce.?</i>

    ¡°Hmph ~¡± An Rao bit into a sour plum. ¡°I miss you ~¡±

    ¡°Good girl, I miss you too.¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s fingers moved slightly. He subconsciously wanted to touch An Rao¡¯s head, but he could only touch air.

    ¡°Thene back early ~¡± An Rao pecked at the phone, causing Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes to be filled with stars.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Not long after Bo Xiao hung up, Shen Xiu came to check on him.

    ¡°How do you feel?¡± Shen Xiu checked the data on the monitor.

    ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± Bo Xiao pressed on his chest. ¡°It just hurts a little here.¡±

    ¡°Of course it hurts.¡± Shen Xiu clicked his tongue. ¡°I wonder who has such amazing medical skills to actually imnt the chip into your heart and stitch it back to its original state.¡±

    Bo Xiao frowned. ¡°Then?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Shen Xiu went forward to observe Bo Xiao¡¯s expression. ¡°That chip has been taken out. Otherwise, why do you think CEO Jun dared to return the phone to you?¡±

    It might sound simple, but in fact, the top medical experts in the country spent an entire day and night to take it out. After all, the person who buried the chip was too skilled.

    ¡°Where is he?¡± Bo Xiao had not seen Jun Shiling for a long time. Although he knew that Jun Shiling was dealing with the southwest, he could not help but worry.

    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re really a god.¡± Shen Xiu looked at him strangely. ¡°Is this the connection between you brothers? CEO Jun just arrived and was looking at your medical records in the ward. He should be here now.¡±

    Just as Shen Xiu finished speaking, footsteps came from the door. Shen Xiu smiled. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re here. You guys chat. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    The door was pushed open and Jun Shiling walked in.

    Shen Xiu nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°Everything is normal for Officer Bo and he¡¯s recovering.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and sat down in front of the bed.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you don¡¯t have to have this expression, right?¡± Seeing Jun Shiling, a smile appeared on Bo Xiao¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m the one living in this prison. I haven¡¯t even put on a cold face.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°Stop joking.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s smile widened. ¡°CEO Jun, did it go smoothly?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t take the risk next time. Do you know that there¡¯s an automatic detonation system on that chip?¡±

    The chip in Bo Xiao¡¯s body had a self-destruct system, but perhaps the performance of the product was still unstable. Last time, Jun Shiling had identally destroyed the system. Otherwise, the Chinese experts would never dare to operate on Bo Xiao. After all, no one knew when the system would explode.

    Bo Xiao stopped smiling and looked at Jun Shiling sternly. ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡±

    At that time, the war zone had exploded and he had narrowly escaped death in the fire. At that time, he could have run, but he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had been looking for King for too long, but they had never found him. This was a chance to get close to them.

    Hence, Bo Xiao chose to stay where he was and was brought away by King¡¯s men. He also helped them get a map of the southwest region.

    The map of the southwest area was indeed real, but Bo Xiao knew very well that Jun Shiling had always wanted to touch that ce. However, the southwest area had been solidified for a long time and could not be overturned with ordinary strength.

    They could only take drastic measures andpletely expose that ce to danger. Only then could they provide Jun Shiling with the best reason to divide the southwest region.

    Fortunately, he did not gamble wrongly.

    Jun Shiling could tell what he was thinking and cooperated with him to fight this battle perfectly.

    ¡°I should be the one thanking you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao with a smile in his eyes.

 Chapter 1040 - CEO Jun Slaps Plagiarism

    <h4>Chapter 1040: CEO Jun ps giarism</h4>

    Thements on the Inte about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s giarism intensified. There were even extreme fans who sshed colorful paint at the entrance of Xiu Yi¡¯s shop and wrote the words ¡°giar dog¡± in white paint.

    The customers were unwilling to see these messy things. Because of these troublemakers, the sales of Xiu Yi decreased a lot.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished her ss at Qing University, she held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and prepared to go home. Just as she reached the school gate, she was surrounded by a group of reporters.

    ¡°Miss Xia, please respond that you have any thoughts about giarizing Zou Man¡¯s design?¡±

    ¡°May I ask why you giarized Zou Man¡¯s design? Was the Gold Award for the International Design Competition your own design?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. She held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand tightly and ignored the reporters¡¯ mean questions.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was ignoring them, the reporters turned their gazes to Xiao Bao, who was struggling to keep up with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xiao Bao had never encountered such a scene. He only felt that these uncles and aunties did not look good and looked very fierce to Xia Wanyuan. Xiao Bao clung tightly to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg, looking a little afraid.

    ¡°Little friend, do you know that your mother giarized someone else¡¯s work?¡± Many of the reporters had received money. They were determined to pry some news out of Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan ignored them, so they extended the microphone to Xiao Bao.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, little friend. Have you seen the clothes your mother designed? If your mother is really a giarist, what do you think?¡±

    Xiao Bao was stunned by the question. He looked at the microphone in front of him in a daze with tears in his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense. Please¡­¡± The reporters¡¯ microphones were still aimed at Xiao Bao. Some even squeezed into Xiao Bao¡¯s face. They wanted to ask more, but a fair hand reached out and grabbed the microphone.

    Everyone looked up. It was Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head and smiledfortingly at him. Then, she pulled him behind her and threw the microphone in her hand to the ground.

    ¡°Hey! Why did you throw my things?!¡± the reporter shouted at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak and kicked all the instruments in front of her to the ground. The microphones and cameras fell to the ground.

    ¡°Make it big.¡± At this moment, many reporters received instructions through their earpieces. These people immediately shouted.

    ¡°Hey! Is this the quality of a teacher from Qing University?! A teacher from Qing University threw something in public!! The wife of the richest man is amazing. The wife of the richest man can bully others as she pleases!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was surrounded by a group of people. She moved her wrist and was about to raise her leg.

    Xiao Bao hid behind Xia Wanyuan and secretly stuck half a head out. Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw something. ¡°Daddy!!¡±

    The reporters who were shouting suddenly fell silent. They turned around and saw a car stop by the roadside. Jun Shiling was striding over.

    The reporters looked at each other. Themander had only asked them to interview Xia Wanyuan, but he had not said that Jun Shiling woulde too!

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze on them, the reporters thought that something was wrong and prepared to run.

    However, the police cars had already surrounded them.

    Jun Shiling pointed at the camera on the ground. ¡°I¡¯llpensate you for these at the original price. As for viting my child¡¯s privacy, thewyers will talk to you.¡±

    As soon as Jun Shiling finished speaking, the reporters¡¯ faces turned pale.

    Thewyers of the Jun Corporation had always had the title of the sure winner in the industry. They were invincible and were the nightmare of the business world. How could they win in awsuit against them?!

    Everyone hurriedly contacted the person who had given them money to cause trouble, but themunicator was busy.

    ¡°Daddy ~¡± Xiao Bao ran towards Jun Shiling with tears on his face.

    Jun Shiling picked him up. ¡°You only know how to cry.¡±

    Xiao Bao sobbed. ¡°They bullied Mommy. Those people are so scary. Not only did they nder Mommy, but they also shouted at Mommy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. Such a small matter could not scare her, but Xiao Bao was frightened.

    Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao in one hand and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand with the other. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    The scene on the Qing University campus quickly spread online.

    The topic of ¡°Xia Wanyuan hitting someone¡± that the Jiang family had prepared was on the trending list first.

    Before theizens could eat the melon, the trending topic ¡°Unscrupulous Reporter¡± dominated the rankings.

    This time, it was posted by the official Weibo ount of the Jun Corporation.

    @ Jun Corporation: ¡°Unscrupulous reporter has vited her privacy. The corporation¡¯swyer will pursue them ording to thew.¡±

    The apanying photos were a few photos of reporters pointing their microphones at Xiao Bao¡¯s face.

    he angles of these photos were very good. Arge number of tall reporters formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Bao. Although they could only see Xiao Bao¡¯s side profile and feel his grievance, the fans¡¯ hearts ached.

    [Reporters are shameless. If I were Xia Wanyuan, I wouldn¡¯t just smash things. I would kill these unscrupulous reporters.]

    [F*ck, he actually pped the microphone on the little cutie¡¯s face. Ahhh!!! I¡¯ll fight you to the death if you scratch his face!]

    [I¡¯m speechless. There¡¯s nothing wrong with Xia Wanyuan this time. The reporters are too much. They¡¯re simply disgusting.]

    Theizens¡¯ anger waspletely ignited. At this moment, Xiu Yi posted a post.

    Xiu Yi: ¡°In the past few days, there have been rumors online targeting our chief designer, Xia Wanyuan. Our silence during this period of time is not a tacit agreement, but we¡¯re looking for evidence. Ourpany has already transferred the relevant people¡¯s evidence to the relevant institutions. I believe thew will restore the truth to us and everyone.¡±

    Once Xiu Yi¡¯s post was posted, theizens immediately smelled something unusual.

    [I knew that our Yuan Yuan would never giarize. There¡¯s definitely a secret.]

    [I¡¯m waiting for the truth. I hope CEO Jun can find the person who spread the rumors about Yuan Yuan.]

    On the way back, Xiao Baoy in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and did note out.

    Jun Shiling grabbed his cor. ¡°Get up. You¡¯re already four years old, but you still like to cry.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xiao Bao clung to Jun Shiling tightly. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m afraid. I¡¯m only four years old. The teacher said I¡¯m still a child!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling nced at his octopus-like son and then at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting beside him.

    Actually, he really did not want to hug his son. He wanted to hug his son¡¯s mother more.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with hugging him?¡±

    Jun Shiling ced the cor back. ¡°Got it.¡±

    He suddenly did not want to have a second child. One child was already annoying enough. If he had a second child, he would have even less status.

 Chapter 1041 - Father and Son Fighting for Favor

    <h4>Chapter 1041: Father and Son Fighting for Favor</h4>

    When Xiu Yi¡¯s official Weibo posted a rification notice, the police suddenly barged into Xiu Yi¡¯s shop and took away a few people who were working.

    The staff shouted in panic. Qin Shuang walked over and looked at these old employees who had been working in the shop since a long time ago. ¡°Do you really think that you can sell Xiu Yi without anyone knowing?¡±

    When Qin Shuang said this, the expressions of the staff changed.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Qin Shuang nodded at the police and the few of them were brought away from Xiu Yi.

    Because Xiu Yi had submitted arge amount of video evidence, it did not take long for these staff members to confess.

    Xiu Yi¡¯s shop headquarters was in Beijing, but the production base was in Jiangnan.

    Back then, a manager in charge of the design was bribed at a high price. He got his staff to change the blueprint sent to the Jiangnan production base. The person in charge of the Jiangnan production base was also bribed at a high price.

    Just like that, a design that did not belong to Xia Wanyuan was mixed into the production blueprint. After it was put into production, arge number of clothes were made into finished products and put on the market. Hence, there was the so-called ¡°giarism¡±.

    The police interrogated them overnight and finally finished interrogating all the people the next morning.

    At the same time, due to the poprity of this matter, the police also conveyed the final oue to theizens through Weibo.

    ¡°It¡¯s a certain clothing brand in Beijing. Because Xiu Yi¡¯s sales were too good and it attacked their market, they felt resentful, so they got someone to bribe Xiu Yi¡¯s employees to ruin Xiu Yi¡¯s reputation.¡±

    There were also several verification videos released with the interrogation results.

    In the video, one could clearly see the staff of Xiu Yi sneakily cing a design draft that did not belong to the design blueprint.

    ......

    At this point, it was as if the truth was revealed.

    [Wow, is businesspetition so intense nowadays? There¡¯s even such a thing. If not for Xiu Yi recording the video, wouldn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan be the scapegoat for no reason?]

    [ Emmmm, am I the only one who finds it a little strange? The clothing brand that the police are talking about is only an unknownpany in Beijing. Is it really that rich? It can even bribe Xiu Yi¡¯s executives? Is it crazy? ]

    However, some of theizens¡¯ doubts were quickly suppressed by arge number ofments that said ¡°shake hands and make peace¡±, ¡°two beauties in the design world¡±.

    ¡°Wow, Manman, fortunately, you¡¯re smart and didn¡¯t let our people participate.¡± The manager looked at thements online and was a little afraid.

    Zou Man held a red wine ss in her hand and swirled it gently. There was a hint of charm in her eyes.

    She was not stupid. Why would she let her hand touch these things? However, thinking of Xia Wanyuan, who had cleared her name of giarism, Zou Man frowned.

    This Xia Wanyuan really made her very unhappy. It was like a shadow that could not be erased hanging over her head.

    Zou Man downed the red wine in one gulp, then stood up and walked out the door.

    ¡°Hey, Manman, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Look for Jiang Kui. Push down my schedule for today.¡± She knew very well that Jiang Kui had no intention of marrying her at all. Announcing the rtionship was just to shut everyone up. She could not sit and wait for death.

    ¡°Sigh, okay.¡± The manager knew that Zou Man was arrogant, so he could only pray in his heart that Zou Man could sessfully be Madam Jiang. Otherwise, they would probably not be able to bear the consequences.

    In the manor, Xiao Bao held Xia Yu¡¯s hand with tears in his eyes. ¡°Uncle, why are you leaving again?¡±

    Xia Yu stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Because Uncle is going to work. Next time, Uncle will bring you delicious food, okay?¡±

    Xiao Bao grabbed Xia Yu¡¯s leg. ¡°I don¡¯t want. I want Uncle.¡±

    Xia Yu pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Good boy.¡± Then, he looked up at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, then I¡¯m leaving, okay¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Be careful.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu saluted to Jun Shiling and disappeared into the night.

    ¡°Mommy, where did Uncle go?¡± Xiao Bao looked up with tears on his eyshes. He did not understand why it was so cold outside and Xia Yu still wanted to leave.<i>?Was the manor notfortable?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan squatted down and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Because Uncle has be a man. He has people he wants to protect and things he wants to protect.¡±

    ¡°I want to be a man too,¡± Xiao Bao said with round eyes.

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°You only know how to cry every day. What man? Have you weaned?¡±

    Xiao Bao red at Jun Shiling and pursed his lips. Tears welled up in his eyes again as he looked pitifully at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, Daddy attacked me again.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head in amusement. ¡°Ignore him. You¡¯ll be a little man.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The little man, Han Xiaobao, looked at the time. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m going to sleep. I¡¯ll go upstairs myself!¡±

    <i>A little man never needed others to lead him to sleep!?</i>

    Xiao Bao skipped upstairs and watched him disappear at the top of the stairs. Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°He¡¯s still young. Why are you always arguing with children?¡±

    ¡°He relied on his young age to stick to you every day.¡± Ever since he returned at noon today, Jun Shiling had not been able to get close to Xia Wanyuan. Every time he wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao would always appear steadily between the two of them. If Jun Shiling wanted to take him away, Xia Wanyuan would stop him.

    ¡°He¡¯s sticking to you too.¡± Xia Wanyuan opened her arms to Jun Shiling and was pulled into his arms. ¡°How old are you? Is it embarrassing to fight for favor with a child every day?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not embarrassing.¡± Jun Shiling was very righteous. ¡°I married you, so of course you¡¯re mine.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan realized that every time they discussed this matter, she could notmunicate with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Baby.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly looked down at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach. ¡°Why don¡¯t we not have a second child? One annoying one is enough.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at her stomach and her eyes suddenly shed. Jun Shiling had a bad feeling.

    As expected, in the next second, Xia Wanyuan smiled and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, we haven¡¯t taken protective measures recently, right? But I¡¯m not pregnant either. Is it you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not say the next words because she was suppressed by Jun Shiling¡¯s warning gaze.

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and whispered into her ear, ¡°Madam, what do you mean? Do you think I haven¡¯t worked hard enough?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan burst outughing. ¡°You¡¯re quite hardworking, but it might not be effective.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan slipped out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, afraid that he would catch her back.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back as she smiled and ran away, Jun Shiling pursed his lips. ¡°I really spoil you too much.¡±

 Chapter 1042 - Who Are You Putting on Airs for?

    <h4>Chapter 1042: Who Are You Putting on Airs for?</h4>

    In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng had been lying in the ward for more than half a month. During this period, he had been in a daze. He would wake up asionally, but he was asleep most of the time.

    ¡°Mom, why isn¡¯t Brother Mu Feng awake yet?¡± In the ward, a young woman was standing at the door and looking at the bed worriedly.

    ¡°Sigh, what a hard life. The doctor said that he was much better half a month ago, but he was pulled out for a run and his condition became so serious.¡± The noblewoman standing beside the woman was Mu Feng¡¯s stepmother, Zhang Yi. As she spoke, she looked at Wei Jin, who was by the bed.

    However, contrary to her wishes, Wei Jin did not react at all when she heard her sarcastic words.

    The young woman looked at Wei Jin enviously. ¡°I wonder what Grandpa is thinking. Why didn¡¯t he let me take care of Brother Mu Feng?¡±

    ¡°Go in and take care of him. Your sister-inw must be tired.¡± Zhang Yi pushed Wang Ya forward and gave her a look.

    Wang Ya was the daughter Zhang Yi had brought over when she got married. She was not rted to Mu Feng by blood. Mu Feng¡¯s father was infertile, and Zhang Yi knew that he could not have a son anymore.

    She had ced all her hopes on Wang Ya and Mu Feng getting married. Only when Wang Ya became the daughter-inw of the Mu family could she guarantee that the quality of her life would not be reduced.

    Initially, the mother and daughter had nned well. Who would have thought that Wei Jin would appear out of nowhere and upy the position of the Mu family¡¯s daughter-inw? Zhang Yi and Wang Ya simply treated Wei Jin as a thorn in their flesh.

    Wang Ya walked to the bed and patted Wei Jin with her bag. ¡°Hey, go back first. I¡¯ll take care of Brother.¡±

    Wei Jin finally turned to look at her. Even though there was obvious fatigue on her face, it could not hide her charm, making Wang Ya even more jealous.

    ¡°I¡¯m his wife. I should take care of him.¡± After not speaking for a long time, Wei Jin¡¯s voice was a little hoarse.

    ¡°You! You just registered your marriage. Do you really think you¡¯re the daughter-inw of the Mu family?¡±

    ¡°As his mother, I haven¡¯t even agreed to let you marry him. Who are you putting on airs for?¡± Zhang Yi walked over and looked at Wei Jin disdainfully.

    She had also heard that Wei Jin had fallen out with the Wei family¡¯s old residence and severed ties with her father. Zhang Yi did not care about such a woman without her family¡¯s support.

    ¡°Then who are you putting on airs for?¡± When the three of them were not paying attention, Mu Feng, who was on the bed, had opened his eyes and was looking at Zhang Yi coldly.

    Being stared at by Mu Feng¡¯s eyes, Zhang Yi¡¯s expression froze. She smiled unnaturally. ¡°Son.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s body was still very weak, but the hail in his tone was enough to freeze someone to death.

    ¡°Brother Mu Feng ~¡± Wang Ya took a step forward and brushed the hair on her forehead.

    However, Mu Feng did not look at her at all. His thin lips spat out, ¡°Get lost too.¡±

    Zhang Yi dug her fingers into her palm and looked at Wei Jin hatefully. Then, she pulled Wang Ya¡¯s hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Wang Ya still did not give up and wanted to talk to Mu Feng again, but she was forcefully pulled away by Zhang Yi.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Wei Jin held Mu Feng¡¯s hand with red eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Mu Feng, who had a cold expression just now, was filled with gentleness. ¡°They didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, right?¡±

    Wei Jin shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor to check on you.¡±

    She was about to get up when Mu Feng grabbed her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t go. Stay with me.¡±

    Wei Jin sat back down. Wei Jin was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Mu Feng. ¡°Am I very ugly?¡±

    After all, she had been taking care of Mu Feng in the hospital these few days and Wei Jin did not have time to dress up. She, who had always had perfect makeup, had not applied any makeup.

    ¡°No.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s long and narrow phoenix eyes were filled with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re especially good-looking.¡±

    The perfect Wei Jin when they first met had indeed moved him, but although she was not wearing makeup now, Wei Jin, whose eyes were filled with him, made him fall in love even more.

    Wei Jin¡¯s face flushed red from Mu Feng¡¯s words. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Mu Feng nodded, but he had just woken up and his stamina was still a little weak. ¡°I¡¯ll lie down for a while more.¡±

    He held Wei Jin¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin nodded. ¡°I definitely won¡¯t leave.¡±

    Outside the hospital, Zhang Yi and Wang Ya had just gone out when they bumped into Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, who hade to the hospital to visit.

    ¡°Mom, is that man Jun Shiling?¡± They had already brushed past each other. Wang Ya looked back.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Zhang Yi looked at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s backs thoughtfully. ¡°They might be here to see Mu Feng.¡±

    ¡°Mom, I heard that Xia Wanyuan is the head of the Wei family. Could she be here to support Wei Jin? Is Wei Jin confirmed to be Brother Mu Feng¡¯s wife? What should we do?¡±

    The Mu family would definitely be handed over to Mu Feng in the future. It was fine with Father Mu around now, but once Father Mu abdicated, how could the Mu family¡¯s assets have anything to do with them?

    Zhang Yi patted Wang Ya¡¯s handfortingly. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ll think of a way.¡±

    Upstairs, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already walked to the ward. Wei Jin was helping Mu Feng wipe his face with a basin of hot water.

    After not seeing Xia Wanyuan for so long, Wei Jin¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Cousin.¡±

    ¡°Mm, how is he?¡± On the bed, Mu Feng was still asleep.

    ¡°The doctor said that the critical period has passed. He¡¯ll be fine after resting for a while.¡± Wei Jin smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Thank you for your concern, Cousin.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good that he¡¯s fine.¡± Mu Feng had helped Xia Wanyuan a lot. Now that he was lying on the bed, Xia Wanyuan was worried.

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve seen him. Let¡¯s go?¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    Initially, he was prepared to discuss with Xia Wanyuan what it meant to ¡°work hard but to no avail¡±. However, Xia Wanyuan suddenly suggested toe and see Mu Feng, so he could only follow.

    After seeing Mu Feng and Wei Jin, Xia Wanyuan was much more relieved. She handed the soup box in her hand to Wei Jin. ¡°Then we¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Mm, thank you foring sote, Cousin. When Mu Feng recovers, we¡¯ll go to the manor to thank you.¡± Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan gratefully. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would still be controlled by Wei Zhong and would not have a chance to be with Mu Feng.

    ¡°We¡¯re family. You¡¯re too polite.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and waved at Wei Jin.

    When Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left the hospital, it began to snow again.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and stared at Jun Shiling, blinking.

    Jun Shilingughed. ¡°Do you want to take a walk?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°How do you know everything?¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out to adjust Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scarf and hat. ¡°How can I not know you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and ced her hand in Jun Shiling¡¯s pocket. ¡°I want to eat cake.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

 Chapter 1043 - Walking in the Snow; Brother Doesnâ€™t Listen

    <h4>Chapter 1043: <i>Walking in the Snow; Brother Doesn¡¯t Listen</i></h4>

    <i>?</i>

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan came outte and it was snowing. There were not many people on the street.

    Jun Shiling walked slowly. Xia Wanyuan hugged his arm and stepped on the snow. Not long after, ayer of snow fell on the two of them.

    As they walked, they arrived at the entrance of a cake shop. Jun Shiling looked up. This was still the shop where he had bought red velvet desserts for Xia Wanyuan that had ended up on the trending list.

    The cake shop was decorated very warmly and dreamily. The gentle light shone on the beautiful cake, making one¡¯s appetite rise.

    The red velvet cake that Jun Shiling had once bought was still the best-selling vor in the shop. The waiter introduced it to the two youngdies. ¡°After eating this cake, you¡¯ll be the wife of the richest man.¡±

    The youngdies burst outughing. ¡°How is that possible? Jun Shiling really came here to buy a cake. Why don¡¯t I believe it? If I buy this cake, can I see Jun Shiling?¡±

    ¡°When you say this-¡± The waiter shook his head helplessly, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed that the cake shop had fallen silent. The waiter subconsciously looked at the door, and the cake clipper in his hand fell.

    ¡°I knew it. When I bought cake I didn¡¯t see-¡± The youngdies smiled and teased the waiter. However, halfway through their sentence, theirpanion suddenly pulled their sleeves and turned around.

    A pair of immortals were walking into the shop. The lights in the shop seemed to have been dyed by their stunning looks.

    It was Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    ...

    ¡°The red onest time was quite delicious. Where did you buy it?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Here¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan to the cab.

    The two youngdies who were originally standing by the cab made way for them in a daze. Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    The youngdies only felt light flowing in front of their eyes. Other than ahhh, they could not find any other words in their minds.

    It was rare for Xia Wanyuan toe out and shop at the cake shop outside. She was very interested in everything. Jun Shiling followed her slowly.

    ¡°That looks delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the tea mousse, then saw the coconut custard beside it. ¡°This looks good too.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out to wipe the snow off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. Seeing her sparkling eyes, the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up. ¡°You¡¯re only allowed to eat one.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to choose. In the end, she still chose Matcha Mousse.

    ¡°I¡¯ll pay for this.¡± Jun Shiling took out the cake and went to the cashier to settle the bill. The cashier was stunned. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left after paying the bill. The cake shop was still quiet. A momentter, she finally eximed, ¡°Xia Wanyuan is too beautiful! A god has descended to the mortal world!¡±

    The next second, everyone in the shop rushed to the counter. ¡°I want the cake.¡±

    <i>A cake blessed by the richest man must be a cake with luck. One would definitely be rich after eating it!</i>

    In just a few minutes, all the shelves were swept clean.

    The staff looked at the empty cab.<i>?The mission waspleted early and I could get off work!?</i>He did not know if Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling could bring fortune, but they could definitely bring good luck!

    After everyone snatched the cake, they gathered in front of the window to see where Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had gone.

    On the street not far away, as the two of them walked, Jun Shiling suddenly squatted down and carried Xia Wanyuan. Snowkes fell behind them.

    ¡°I feel like I¡¯m watching an idol drama.¡±

    ¡°Stop talking. Is it easy for single people toe out and eat cake in the middle of the night? Why are you doing this to me?¡±

    On the other side of the street, a rolled-down car window was hidden under the dim streetmp. Beside the car window, an exquisite face had an indescribable mncholy.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, let¡¯s go? It¡¯s too cold here. Your health isn¡¯t good.¡± The assistant looked at Xuan Sheng¡¯s side profile and felt a toothache.

    It was really strange that they could bump into Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in the middle of the night in such a big capital.

    Looking at the two figures ying in the distance, the assistant sighed in his heart.

    Some were happy, while others were sad. Their CEO Xuan was really not ordinarily miserable.

    The sky was very dark and the distance was very far, but Xuan Sheng seemed to be able to see Xia Wanyuan smiling sweetly.

    After all, he had already watched countless videos at home. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s every frown and smile was imprinted in his mind. Even the position of her dimples and the depth of her smile were extremely familiar to him.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bright eyes and gentle expression when she smiled, Xuan Sheng could not help but smile.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had already walked far away. Xuan Sheng touched the almost frozen prayer beads. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Hey!¡± The assistant was about to drive when Xuan Sheng stopped him.

    ¡°Go to the cake shop and buy two cakes, no matter the price.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The assistant¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, the assistant returned to the car with a two-thousand-dor cake. Xuan Sheng took it. It was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite mousse. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡±

    The car started again. Xuan Sheng opened the box and scooped a mouthful with a spoon.

    The taste of matcha was really bitter. It went from his stomach to his organs.

    It was snowing in Beijing, and it was also snowing in France, which was two continents away.

    In the tall castle, An Luo pushed his te aside unhappily. ¡°I¡¯m not eating!¡±

    ¡°An Luo, why are you throwing a tantrum?¡± The servants retreated and a young man in an exquisite gown walked in. He had the same blue eyes as An Luo, butpared to An Luo¡¯s clear eyes that were like the sky, his eyes were more like the blue of the sea.

    ¡°Hmph! I want to go to China! Why don¡¯t you let me go?!¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The young man looked like he had walked out of a painting of a noble from Continent O. He was gentlemanly and elegant, but his words were unquestionable.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t go, I won¡¯t eat!!¡± An Luo turned his back to his brother angrily.

    The young man was a little helpless. Then, he walked towards An Luo and stroked his hair. ¡°Be good. I¡¯ll bring you along when I visit China next month.¡±

 Chapter 1044 - Snowy Night; Impure

    <h4>Chapter 1044: Snowy Night; Impure</h4>

    ¡°Really?¡± An Luo was happy. There was a warm breeze in his clear eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll eat immediately.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The young man stroked An Luo¡¯s hair. He had really spoiled this younger brother. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you so close to anyone since you were young.¡±

    An Luo¡¯s brother, An Lin, was the head of the Cape family, so he naturally knew what had happened in France.

    ¡°Who said I¡¯m close to her?¡± An Luo looked disdainful. ¡°I¡¯ve never been to Beijing. Can¡¯t I be curious?¡±

    An Lin smiled. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go eat.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± With his brother¡¯s permission, he could finally go to China. An Luo was happy.

    An Lin was a little curious. An Luo looked young, but he had followed him all the way from the Cape family. In fact, he was more guarded than anyone else. Other than him, An Luo had never been close to anyone else.

    <i>What was it about that Chinese woman that attracted An Luo that he liked her so much??</i>

    China,

    The night became deeper and the snow became heavier. In the quiet night, a tall figure walked through the snow, leaving footprints on the ground.

    ¡°Jiang Yun, let me tell you, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re up to.¡±

    In the empty living room, Jiang Kui was pointing at Jiang Yun and shouting at her angrily, ¡°You¡¯re a woman. Don¡¯t dream of inheriting the Jiang family. Be good and go for the marriage alliance. Stop interfering in the Jiang family¡¯s matters.¡±

    Ever since the matter between Jiang Kui and Zou Man was exposedst time, Father Jiang had be more and more distrustful of Jiang Kui. He even handed many things to Jiang Yun to do. There were already rumors in thepany that Jiang Kui¡¯s status as the crown prince was in danger.

    ......

    ¡°Jiang Kui, don¡¯t go too far. This is my house. What are you doing here?¡± Jiang Yun¡¯s temper rose. ¡°It¡¯s not up to you to decide if I¡¯m married or not.¡±

    Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking? Thinking of your little boy? My smart sister, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know Xia Yu¡¯s identity?¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s words stunned Jiang Yun. Although she had watched Xia Yu¡¯s live broadcast, she was too busy and had only watched a little. In addition, she had deliberately avoided information rted to Xia Yu. In her impression, Xia Yu was just a well-protected child.

    Seeing Jiang Yun¡¯s reaction, Jiang Kui knew that his sister did not understand anything. A strange look shed across Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes and the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Have you never suspected that Xia Yu¡¯s Xia and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Xia are actually the same family?¡±

    Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes widened slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°It means.¡± Jiang Kui¡¯s face was filled with mockery. ¡°Xia Yu is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother. He¡¯s from the Jun family¡¯s camp and someone you can never get close to.¡±

    Jiang Yun clenched her fists on the sofa, her sharp nails digging into her palms. Blood seeped out of her palms, but she looked very calm. ¡°You don¡¯t think I¡¯ll really fall for that kind of brat, do you?¡±

    Seeing how indifferent Jiang Yun was, Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°Stop pretending, Sister.¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± Jiang Yun crossed her hands and leaned back on the sofa rxedly. Her red lips curled up in an extremely rxed posture. ¡°I¡¯m just used to eating those rigid elite talents and want to change my taste. Just like you, didn¡¯t you find a slut like Zou Man after ying with the pure one?¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Jiang Kui¡¯s face trembled. He was furious by Jiang Yun¡¯s words. In the end, he said fiercely, ¡°What a good sister.¡±

    With that, Jiang Kui flicked his sleeves and left angrily. He even bumped into the waiter who came to deliver the food.

    After Jiang Kui left, Jiang Yun finally sensed the pain in her palm. She lowered her eyes to take a look. There were already a few wounds on her fair palm.

    ¡°Miss, do you still want your dessert?¡± The waiter asked carefully.

    ¡°Oh, put it down first.¡± Jiang Yun looked up and was about to speak to the waiter when her expression suddenly changed and she stood up.

    Around the corner, a tall figure was striding out the door. Even though the lights in the room were as warm as day, his back revealed a loneliness that made one¡¯s heart ache.

    Jiang Yun chased after him for a few steps before suddenly stopping. She stopped chasing and sat back on the sofa. ¡°Bring me the dessert. Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The waiter secretly nced at Jiang Yun.?<i>Why did I feel that this beautiful young woman looked a little sad?</i>

    The snow outside was getting heavier, and the only pedestrians on the street were hurrying.

    There were passers-by hiding in front of the supermarket by the street. Herpanion suddenly pulled her sleeve. ¡°Hey, look, that handsome cop is so smooth.¡±

    The passerby looked in the direction hispanion was pointing. Not far away, a handsome young man was striding down the street. ¡°He¡¯s indeed very handsome, but is he crying?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Really? He seems to be wiping his tears¡­ Why is he crying like this on such a cold day?¡±

    ¡°Who knows? He¡¯s probably another sad person.¡±

    At the airport, at thest moment before they set off, their teammates finally saw Xia Yu, who had left halfway to do something.

    He came in the snow with a hint of redness at the corners of his eyes.

    ¡°Xia Yu, are you okay?¡± Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s deste figure, his teammates looked at each other.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just cold.¡± The corners of Xia Yu¡¯s lips curled up, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time.¡± Since Xia Yu was unwilling to say it, his teammates did not ask further.

    Xia Yu followed his teammates at the back of the team. Just as he was about to enter, Xia Yu suddenly took out his phone and broke the phone card into two pieces before throwing them into the trash can.

    When Xia Wanyuan wanted to look for him, she could naturally use Jun Shiling¡¯s methods. There was no need to bring a phone out this time.

    Although it was alreadyte at night, the Inte was still very lively.

    The fact that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had appeared in the cake shop quickly became a trending topic. Matcha mousse also became the most popr dessert in Beijing that night.

    [I¡¯ve wanted to poke Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples for a long time, but I¡¯m afraid CEO Jun will kill me.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really too beautiful¡­ If I were CEO Jun, I might dote on her like this too. ]

    [So cute. So fairies choose cakes like me. In that case, I¡¯m also a fairy.]

    In the heavy snow, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s backs were made into wallpaper by theizens.

    That night, she was ranked first on the wallpaper usage rankings.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up and flipped through the news. She saw arge amount of information about her and Jun Shiling. Because the two of them were popr, even the media wanted to take advantage of them.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you look at the real person?¡± Jun Shiling hugged her from behind. ¡°Why are you looking at photos so early in the morning?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s body was warm. Xia Wanyuan subconsciously snuggled into his arms. ¡°Our photos were takenst night.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Jun Shiling buried his head in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and replied calmly. What he was more concerned about now was, ¡°You changed your shower gel. It smells so good.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it today. I¡¯m going to film.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her phone and turned to re at Jun Shiling. ¡°Get up and go to work.¡±

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He reached out and knocked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°What are you thinking in the middle of the day? Your thoughts are really impure.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling under the nket.?<i>Who was the impure one??</i>

    <h4>Chapter 1045: The Substitute Became an Ornament Again</h4>

    <h4>??</h4>

    After breakfast, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to the entrance of the production team. The staff of the film studio looked over curiously. When they met Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze, they hurriedly shrank back in fear.

    ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ll apany you for lunch.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling and walked towards the film studio.

    The chauffeur started the car and prepared to bring Jun Shiling to thepany. Who would have thought that after taking two steps, he would ¡°collide¡± with a small inte celebrity riding a bicycle?

    The corners of the driver¡¯s lips twitched.?<i>What was wrong with this scammer? He was so careless that he fell in front of the car without even touching it. Wasn¡¯t he too unprofessional??</i>

    The key was that this little Inte celebrity had fallen and was lying on the ground without getting up. It was as if they had killed someone. Under the passers-by¡¯s pointed fingers, the chauffeur still got out of the car. ¡°Miss, are you okay?¡±

    ¡°I think I broke my leg. Aiya, it hurts,¡± the woman said sweetly, causing the chauffeur to have goosebumps.

    ¡°Then let me help you up,¡± the driver said and reached out his arm. However, the little inte celebrity retracted his arms.

    ¡°Men and women shouldn¡¯t touch each other. What do you want?¡± The little Inte celebrity looked up with a face filled with hyaluronic acid. Her chin was so sharp that it could stab someone to death, and the makeup on her face was as thick as the city wall.

    ¡°¡­¡± The chauffeur could not control his expression and retracted his hand to support her.

    ...

    This could poke someone¡¯s face to death. He did not like it. If he did not want to help her, then it was fine.

    The little inte celebrity did not let the chauffeur help her. Instead, she cried out and looked at the car.

    However, Jun Shiling did not see her wishful thinking. The patrolling police walked over and took a look at the scene. ¡°You hit her? This is the responsibility of the bicycle owner. Come with us.¡±

    The little Inte celebrity immediately jumped up from the ground. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? I didn¡¯t even hit this car, how is it my fault? So what if you¡¯re wearing skin? Aiya, the police hit me!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The patrol officer had never seen such an unreasonable person. Before he could retort, the little inte celebrity had already picked up her bicycle and ran into the crowd.

    The chauffeur thanked the police and closed the car door to leave.

    In the coffee shop beside the film studio, many people noticed themotion.

    ¡°Jun Shiling has been appearing frequently at the film studio these few days. Now, this has be a popr ce for Inte celebrities and socialites in Beijing to clock in.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. There weren¡¯t so many people in the coffee shop in the past. Now, as far as the eye can see, they¡¯re all inte celebrities. Everyone wants to rise to the top in a single step.¡±

    Hearing the discussions of the people around her, Liu Zhen also looked out with a disdainful expression. ¡°Where did these people get their confidence from?¡±

    In front of Liu Zhen, Su Yueran gently stirred the coffee in the cup. The tassel earrings on her earlobes fluttered in the wind. ¡°They just want to gamble. If they win, they¡¯ll be rich for life. If they lose, they won¡¯t be injured at all. If it were you, you would do the same.¡±

    Liu Zhen wanted to retort, but on second thought, Su Yueran seemed to be right. ¡°But what kind of person is Jun Shiling? He has seen many beauties. Only someone like you can catch his eye.¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s hand that was holding the spoon paused, and her exquisite eyebrows raised slightly. ¡°Sister Zhen, don¡¯t say such things. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship is obvious. I¡¯m afraid others can¡¯t interfere.¡±

    ¡°Eh? I don¡¯t agree with you.¡± Liu Zhen said in an experienced tone, ¡°I¡¯ve lived for so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen a man who doesn¡¯t cheat. No one can resist the temptation of novelty.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Perhaps Jun Shiling is that exception? I¡¯ve seen some videos of them on variety shows. CEO Jun seems to be really good to Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Liu Zhen sneered. ¡°Let me ask you. Which couple doesn¡¯t stick to each other in the beginning? Men are just like that when they¡¯re tired of ying. Which model couple in the entertainment industry isn¡¯t different in front of the public and behind their backs?¡±

    Su Yue smiled but did not speak.

    As Liu Zhen spoke, she clicked her tongue. ¡°But even if Jun Shiling gets tired of Xia Wanyuan in the future, Xia Wanyuan won¡¯t lose out. I really can¡¯t me those inte celebrities for drilling their heads into Jun Shiling. A little powder given from Jun Shiling¡¯s hands is enough for them to livefortably for the rest of their lives.¡±

    ¡°Alright, Sister Zhen, there are too many people. Stop talking.¡± Seeing that Liu Zhen was getting more and more agitated, Su Yueran stopped her.

    ¡°I¡¯ll say thest sentence.¡± Liu Zhen looked at the gentle and indifferent Su Yueran. ¡°Don¡¯t say it. Your temperament is the same as that Xia Wanyuan. If Jun Shiling meets you, something might happen.¡±

    ¡°Sister Zhen, why are you getting more and more ridiculous?¡± Su Yueran smiled slightly, as if she did not take Liu Zhen¡¯s words to heart. She took a sip of coffee and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. The director is getting impatient.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the production team, Xia Wanyuan had already begun filming today.

    Although the little princess had been pampered since she was young, she did not miss a single thing from poems to studies to riding horses and archery. This scene was the little princess hunting with the emperor.

    The director knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fighting scene was beautiful, but he did not know if she could act well on horseback.

    After all, thedy boss was here. If anything happened, he would not be able to afford it even if he sold himself.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you sure you don¡¯t want to use a substitute?¡± Before filming, the director was still confirming.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡± The director looked back every three steps worriedly, praying in his heart that this horse would be obedient. ¡°All departments, get ready!¡±

    The staff were all in position. With amand from the director, the reins were released by the staff. Xia Wanyuan, dressed in a blue riding suit, flew past the grasnd set.

    ¡°¡­¡± The director watched as a gust of wind blew past him and did not react to film in time.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confident back on the horse, the director quietly shouted, ¡°Again!¡±

    This time, Xia Wanyuan grasped the speed.

    She rode a horse from the horizon to the grasnd. Her ck hair fluttered, and her beautiful facial features looked even more beautiful under the sunlight.

    She was like an eagle spreading its wings and flying high with a domineering aura.

    When the horse ran closer, he could see the tenderness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. It matched the characteristics of the little princess¡¯s age.

    The director eximed as he watched, ¡°There¡¯s no need to find a substitute. Can a substitutepare to a tenth of Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    The stunt double, who had been doing well in the other production teams, quietly turned around.?<i>The director was so annoying. Why did he say it so bluntly?</i>

    The key was that he could not retort.<i>?How infuriating.?</i>

    At the entrance of the production team, Su Yueran stood at the side and watched for a long time. Finally, she could not help but exim, ¡°Good riding skills and good acting skills. Don¡¯t you think so, Sister Zhen?¡±

    Su Yueran turned to talk to Liu Zhen with a faint smile on her face. However, Liu Zhen was not beside her. Instead, Jun Shiling, who was also watching Xia Wanyuan act, was standing not far away.

    <h4>Chapter 1046: What a Good Rtionship</h4>

    At the entrance of the production team, Su Yueran stood at the side and watched for a long time. Finally, she could not help but exim, ¡°Good riding skills and good acting skills. Don¡¯t you think so, Sister Zhen?¡±

    Su Yueran turned to talk to Liu Zhen with a faint smile on her face. However, Liu Zhen was not beside her. Instead, Jun Shiling, who was also watching Xia Wanyuan act, was standing not far away.

    Jun Shiling was dressed in a ck coat. He was tall and cold, and his carved side profile looked even more god-like under the sunlight.

    Su Yueran took a look and looked away.

    Liu Zhen had alsoe from elsewhere. She carefully nced at Jun Shiling and gave Su Yueran a look. Su Yueran pretended not to see it.

    In the venue, Xia Wanyuan nocked a bow and shot an arrow. She did not need the staff¡¯s cooperation at all andpleted the difficult actions required in the script in one go.

    The director patted his legs excitedly. ¡°How good would it be if we could meet such a good actor every time we film?¡±

    The morning¡¯s filming finally ended. The director gestured and Xia Wanyuan dismounted.

    ¡°CEO Jun?!¡± The director, who was immersed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, finally realized that his livelihood parent, Jun Shiling, was standing not far away. The director hurriedly stood up to wee him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m just looking around.¡± Jun Shiling waved his hand.

    ¡°Hey, okay!¡± The director knew that Jun Shiling was definitely here to see Xia Wanyuan. He immediately stopped being a third wheel in front of Jun Shiling. He turned around and saw Su Yueran standing not far away. His eyes lit up. ¡°Yueran! Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were here?!¡±

    Su Yueran was a famous ¡°flower of the mountains¡± in the entertainment industry. It was not that she had a cold personality. On the contrary, Su Yueran was as her name suggested. She was quiet, indifferent, easy to get along with, and had a good reputation in the industry.

    This ¡°flower of the high mountains¡± referred to her background. Although no one could produce concrete evidence, there had always been rumors in the industry that Su Yueran¡¯s grandfather was a founding general and her family was all officials.

    ......

    Su Yueran was also quite casual in the entertainment industry. If she wanted to take on a role, she would. If she did not want to take on a role, no matter how big the director was or how high the remuneration was, she would not take on the role if she was unwilling. This was also the reason why everyone believed that she was a ¡°third generation official¡±.

    Su Yueran smiled faintly, the tassels by her ears fluttering in the wind. ¡°Director, I¡¯m watching Xia Wanyuan film. Her acting skills are really good.¡±

    Hearing someone praise Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling subconsciously looked over and met Su Yueran¡¯s faint gaze.

    ¡°She¡¯s indeed very talented, but your acting skills are seen by as well.¡± Su Yueran had always been difficult to invite. This time, the director had only sent her an invitation tentatively. He did not expect Su Yueran to agree. The director was very happy. ¡°You haven¡¯t seen her yet, right? I¡¯ll introduce you to each other.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    Coincidentally, Xia Wanyuan had changed her clothes and was walking over. The director waved at her. ¡°Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Director, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan strolled over. She was like a lotus blooming in the snow, faint and refreshing.

    Su Yueran¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re so beautiful and your acting skills are good. No wonder you could be everyone¡¯s idol in such a short time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan also noticed Su Yueran at this moment. She was wearing an apricot-colored coat that was tucked into her waist, and tassel-like earrings hung from her ears. She looked gentle and quiet.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°My name is Su Yueran. I¡¯m very honored to work with you, Miss Xia.¡± Su Yueran reached out to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her hand gently and let go. ¡°Wee.¡± After greeting Su Yueran, Xia Wanyuan looked at the director. ¡°Director, I¡¯m going to eat first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. You¡¯ve worked hard for the filming this morning.¡± The director bade Xia Wanyuan farewell happily.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan turn to look at Jun Shiling, who had been waiting for her not far away. A smile appeared in her eyes as she strode towards Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling reached out to pull her.

    ¡°CEO Jun, how long have you been here?¡±

    ¡°Not long. You acted very well.¡± Jun Shiling brushed away the cotton in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as Jun Shiling led her out.

    The staff behind them stopped what they were doing and watched the two of them gradually leave.

    ¡°Tsk, CEO Jun treats Wanyuan so well.¡± The director was also a man. He asked himself and he knew that he had not done this to his wife.

    Su Yueran retracted her gaze and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°Yes, their rtionship is so good. Director, show me the script first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jiang Corporation.

    Everyone in the meeting room was discussing. It was already past the meeting time, but the usually punctual Jiang Yun was not here yet. Everyone felt that it was a little strange.

    Jiang Kui sat leisurely with a mocking expression. ¡°Girls just can¡¯t do anything. They can die for a man and not even attend the corporation meeting.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s words, the others looked at each other.

    Everyone could tell that Jiang Kui and Jiang Yun did not get along well, but they still looked very harmonious from the front. Now, it looked like they had fallen out.

    ¡°Who are you calling dead?¡± At the door of the meeting room, Jiang Yun was wearing a simple white suit. She crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Kui coldly.

    Jiang Kui rolled his eyes. ¡°You made so many people wait for you in the meeting room. Do you still care about thepany?¡±

    Jiang Yun stopped talking to him and walked straight to her seat. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. I¡¯mte, but I received a call from America¡¯s Heng Tong Company.¡±

    When everyone heard Heng Tong Company, their eyes lit up.

    Heng Tong Company was the leader of international radio technology. The Jiang Corporation¡¯s expansion overseas required cooperation with them.

    However, thepanies in America had always been limited and arrogant. The Jiang Corporation had been trying to negotiate with them for a long time but to no avail.

    ¡°You mean they¡¯ve agreed to work with us?¡±

    ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s only a preliminary intention. I¡¯ll discuss the details with them again.¡± Jiang Yun nodded.

    ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Everyone was clearly excited. ¡°Second Miss is really amazing!¡±

    Looking at everyone praising Jiang Yun, Jiang Kui¡¯s face was filled with displeasure.

    <i>I¡¯m the future head of the Jiang Corporation! Are these people blind?! To tter a 20-year-old girl?</i>

    The meeting room gradually became Jiang Yun¡¯s lead.

    Jiang Yun was much younger than Jiang Kui, but she had been abandoned in America since she was young and had grown up alone as the bearer of the overseas market. In terms of actual ability, she was actually much stronger than Jiang Kui, the crown prince who had grown up under Father Jiang¡¯s protection.

    Looking at Jiang Yun giving orders, Jiang Kui finally could not help but stand up. The chair drew an ear-piercing sound on the ground. ¡°I have something on.¡±

    With that, Jiang Kui left the meeting room.

    ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡± The corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s lips curled up as she watched Jiang Kui disappear outside the meeting room.

 Chapter 1047 - Little Cutie to the Big Director

    <h4>Chapter 1047: Little Cutie to the Big Director</h4>

    Finally, after settling the details of the cooperation with Heng Tong Company with everyone, Jiang Yun announced the end of the meeting. Everyone put away their things and slowly left.

    Jiang Yun was finally the only one left in the huge meeting room.

    Her shoulders that had been straightened during the meeting finally rxed. Jiang Yun leaned back in her chair and took out her phone from her pocket.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the number you dialed can¡¯t be reached. Please call againter.¡±

    It was this repeated female voice again. Jiang Yun rubbed her eyebrows.

    In the end, she did not manage to eat the dessertst night. After sitting in the coffee shop for less than five minutes, she finally could not help but chase after him.

    However, the snow was so heavy that it quickly covered the footprints on the street. Jiang Yun searched around but could not find Xia Yu.

    Support our

    When she called him again, she could not get through.

    Jiang Yun could not help but sigh. In this empty meeting room, she looked very powerless.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan back to the set.

    As expected, the roads on both sides of the film studio base could be used to open an Inte celebrity shelter. After all, all sorts of Inte celebrities appeared beside Jun Shiling¡¯s car in all sorts of positions.

    The middle-aged driver quietly looked away and looked at the cold weather outside. Then, he looked at the women with their thighs exposed and their cors open to their navel.

    The driver really wanted to go up and ask, ¡°Are you really not cold? What brand of thermal artifact are you using? I want to buy one for my wife too.¡±

    ......

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling was confident. Although many people wanted to attract his attention, they did not dare to really approach him. Facing everyone¡¯splicated gazes, Jun Shiling returned to the car.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The ck car gradually left the film studio base.

    ¡°Sister Yueran, what a coincidence to see you here.¡± Su Yueran was sitting in the cafe reading a script when someone suddenly walked over from behind.

    ¡°Ah Ya, why are you here today?¡± Su Yueran put down the script and smiled at Wang Ya.

    ¡°Why are you here too?¡± Wang Ya sat opposite Su Yueran with an unhappy expression on her exquisite makeup. ¡°I have an event here.¡±

    Mu Feng was a man like the wind. In the past, he was unwilling to take over the family business even if he was beaten to death. He chose to enter the entertainment industry and do makeup for celebrities in front of Father Mu.

    Wang Ya wanted to have amon topic with Mu Feng, so with Zhang Yi¡¯s support, she entered the entertainment industry. However, she was not talented enough, so she could only rely on Zhang Yi to constantly spend money to support her.

    ¡°Mm, how¡¯s your brother¡¯s condition?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Speaking of this, Wang Ya looked resentful. ¡°That woman from the Wei family has been staying in the ward and not leaving. I didn¡¯t have a chance to get close to Brother Mu Feng.¡±

    ¡°However, your mother is the official wife of the Mu family and Mu Feng¡¯s legal mother. Even if you can¡¯t get close, no one can stop your mother from seeing her son, right?¡± Su Yueran said slowly as she stirred her coffee.

    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Wang Ya nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll beg my mother when I get back. Sister Yueran, you haven¡¯te to our house to y in a long time. My mother was talking about you a few days ago.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve been quite busy recently. After I¡¯m done, I¡¯ll definitely visit Auntie.¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Su Yueran was someone Zhang Yi had specially instructed Wang Ya to get along well with. Wang Ya also liked this caring sister who always gave her many suggestions, so she immediately revealed a lot to Su Yueran.

    After drinking a cup of coffee, Wang Ya told Su Yueran everything about the Mu family. Su Yueran also patiently gave her many suggestions.

    ¡°Sister Yueran, thank you so much. If not for you, I wouldn¡¯t know what to do.¡± Wang Ya looked at Su Yueran happily.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind. I treat you as my younger sister. I hope you live well too.¡± Su Yueran¡¯s words touched Wang Ya even more.

    It was already time to film. Su Yueran stood up and prepared to go to the film studio.

    Seeing Su Yueran enter the production team of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±, Wang Ya frowned.

    She had heard a little about it. <i>Xia Wanyuan was the main lead of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. Sister Yueran and Xia Wanyuan were in the same production team?</i>

    In the production team, the director was about to go crazy with joy.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills were good, and Su Yueran was also a capable person. The two beauties acting together was simply a double visual feast.

    For the entire afternoon, the director was basically filming around their scenes.

    ¡°I really admire Miss Xia¡¯s acting skills.¡± Su Yueran smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Seeing is believing.¡±

    ¡°Your acting skills are very good too.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a bottle of water and unscrewed the lid.

    Su Yueran raised an eyebrow. <i>I did not know if it was my imagination, but why did I feel that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was a little strange? </i>

    However, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold and distant appearance, she felt that she might be overthinking.

    However, there was something she really wanted to say to Xia Wanyuan.

    Indeed, seeing was believing for Xia Wanyuan.

    She had always heard that a brilliant woman had quickly risen in the capital¡¯s aristocratic family. Not only was she in charge of the Wei family, but she had also won Jun Shiling¡¯s heart and risen to be the mistress of the Jun family.

    From the looks of it, Xia Wanyuan had beauty inside and beauty outside. She was indeed unfathomable.

    The atmosphere between the two fell silent.

    At this moment, the director suddenly came over.

    ¡°Coincidentally, the two of you are here. I received news that Director Charon from America will personallye to China in the next two days to choose an important supporting role in his next sci-fi movie. This is a good opportunity! You can try!¡±

    Speaking of the film industry, China did not have much influence in the international market.

    In the world, American sci-fi movies were the most popr. And Director Charon¡¯s three movies steadily upied the top three box office rankings in the world.

    It was naturally impossible for American blockbusters to activate Chinese actors to be the female lead, but even if she could be a supporting actress in his movie, it would almost explode the poprity of the actors.

    It could be said that once a Chinese actor appeared in such a world-ss blockbuster,

    It could be said that they had left a name in the world¡¯s film industry.

    ¡°Thank you, Director.¡± Su Yueran was a little interested in this. ¡°Is it a public audition?¡±

    ¡°Yes, you can all try. It¡¯s a very good opportunity.¡± The director hoped that these two people could be chosen and increase ¡°Eldest Princess¡±¡®s overseas poprity.

    Xia Wanyuan was not particrly interested, but she still took the promotional poster from the director.

    At the same time, in the Beijing airport, a ne from America was slowlynding on China¡¯snd. On the ne, Director Charon and the rest, who hade to China to choose a supporting actress, were waiting.

    Not long after, another private ne from Ennd arrived at the airport.

    ¡°Brother, is China fun?¡± An Luo sat by the window and looked out curiously.

    An Lin stopped writing and looked out of the window. ¡°It¡¯s a decent country.¡±

 Chapter 1048 - Super Brother Control Freak

    <h4>Chapter 1048: Super Brother Control Freak</h4>

    An Luo looked out of the window curiously and then at An Lin. ¡°Brother, am I a child?¡±

    There was a rare smile in An Lin¡¯s blue eyes as he looked at the child who had grown up by his side. ¡°Yes, you can always be a child.¡±

    The internal strife in the Cape family was intense. The brothers¡¯ parents had died in the battle for power when they were very young.

    He had been living in seclusion with the few-year-old An Luo until hepletely controlled the entire Cape family. Over the years, An Luo had suffered a lot with him. Now that he was in charge, An Lin hoped that he could always be a happy child to his only brother.

    However, An Luo seemed a little unhappy. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to be a child. Children can¡¯t marry wives.¡±

    An Lin was a little amused. ¡°You like that Xia Wanyuan so much?¡±

    An Luo pursed his lips. ¡°No way. Who said I like her? She¡¯s rude. I hate her.¡±

    The person who knew his younger brother the best in the world was probably An Lin. He smiled. ¡°Since you hate her so much, let¡¯s not see Xia Wanyuan when wee back to China, okay?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± An Luo looked at An Lin angrily. ¡°Ok.¡±

    ¡°Come here.¡± The corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up as he waved at An Luo.

    ...

    An Luo sat beside An Lin very consciously. An Lin ced his slender hand on An Luo¡¯s head and rubbed it. ¡°Silly brother.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not silly,¡± An Luo said angrily.

    ¡°After my visit tomorrow, I¡¯ll visit Jun Shiling at the Jun family and bring you along.¡± An Luo¡¯s golden curly hair felt extremely good to the touch. An Lin could not help but ruffle it twice.

    An Luo¡¯s ears were red and he was a little embarrassed. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    In Continent O, everyone knew that An Lin of the Cape family was ruthless. He had once destroyed a few branches of the Cape family overnight and used thunderous methods to take back the Cape family¡¯s lost market.

    However, what others did not know was that in front of his only brother, An Lin had a rare gentleness and patience.

    ¡°So don¡¯t go on a hunger strike for no reason. Be good.¡± An Lin patted An Luo¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Got it, Brother.¡± An Luo smiled at An Lin, his blue eyes filled with dependence.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng¡¯s health was improving every day. Now, he could sit up and eat normally.

    However, every time he ate, he would spend a lot of energy.

    ¡°Ah Jin, the tomatoes are so sour. I want to eat something sweet.¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s clearly one.¡± In the next second, Mu Feng, who imed that his hand hurt and he could not hold his chopsticks, pulled Wei Jin over and nted a kiss on her lips.

    ¡°¡­¡± Wei Jin had been taughtdy etiquette since she was young, but now, she was doing such a thing in a hospital environment. Her face was flushed red.

    ¡°Ah Jin, I¡¯m hungry. Feed me.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with smugness.

    No matter how embarrassed and angry Wei Jin was, she could not bear to say anything harsh to Mu Feng in the end. She could only obediently feed him under Mu Feng¡¯s smiling gaze.

    ¡°Mom, look at Brother Mu Feng! When has he ever smiled at me like this!¡± Outside the ward, Wang Ya¡¯s expression was twisted. ¡°When Brother Mu Feng recovers, I think this woman will be able to enter the Mu family.¡±

    Hearing Wang Ya¡¯s angry words, Zhang Yi¡¯s eyebrows twitched.

    Mu Feng¡¯s personality was extremely arrogant. Even his father could not do anything to this son, let alone his stepmother.

    Furthermore, Old Master Mu was standing behind Mu Feng. Once Wei Jin entered, she could imagine how difficult her life would be in the future.

    A hint of madness appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Mom! Let¡¯s go in!¡± Wang Ya could not stand it anymore. She pulled Zhang Yi¡¯s hand and was about to barge in.

    Zhang Yi calmly pressed Wang Ya down. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Being anxious will only ruin things.¡±

    In the ward, Mu Feng teased Wei Jin as he ate.

    ¡°Ah Jin, call me.¡±

    On ount that Mu Feng was a patient, Wei Jin was very cooperative. ¡°Mu Feng.¡±

    Mu Feng shook his head, his eyes filled with smiles. ¡°No, have you forgotten that we¡¯ve registered our marriage? What should you call me?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Wei Jin shoved a spoonful of rice into Mu Feng¡¯s mouth. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Mu Feng opened his mouth and bit into the rice. His left hand secretly reached out to scratch Wei Jin, causing Wei Jin¡¯s eyes to be filled with small smiles.

 Chapter 1049 - Waves on the Sea

    <h4>Chapter 1049: Waves on the Sea</h4>

    Above the vast sea, a ship was quickly breaking through the waves.

    Jayce carried the confidential documents from China and carefully walked into Yu Qian¡¯s room.

    Yu Qian sat in front of the piano, his slender hands flying up and down. Music notes jumped out of his fingertips. Outside the window was an endless blue sea.

    It was clearly a soothing sleeping song, but to Jayce, this song seemed to have a dark forbidden curse.

    Closing his eyes, it was as if he could see the center of the vast sea. The whales sank, the seagulls fell, and the lonely dancers danced alone on the sea under the considerate moonlight.

    Jayce was not a musically-inclined person, but every time he heard Yu Qian y the piano, he felt ufortable.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± After the song ended, Yu Qian turned around, his gentle face calm.

    ¡°Boss, there¡¯s news from China that our batch of goods has sessfully been transported into the country. The people you want has been prepared.¡± Jayce walked towards Yu Qian with the documents, his empty left sleeve swaying in the air.

    Yu Qian took it and nced at it. Then, he suddenly thought of something else. ¡°Did Sea Shark transport a batch of weaponsst time?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce looked down.

    ...

    ¡°Has the south of Continent F been peaceful for too long?¡± Yu Qian tapped his finger on the piano keys. ¡°A peaceful ce can¡¯t reap great benefits.¡±

    Jayce understood what he meant and immediately bowed respectfully. ¡°I¡¯ll contact the people over there.¡±

    ¡°Mm, go.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand, and Jayce hurriedly retreated.

    =Night gradually fell. The originally blue sea was now surging. In the endless darkness, the whistling wind made one¡¯s heart turn cold.

    In Yu Qian¡¯s room, the sound of the piano gradually sounded, like the most perfect apaniment of the surging waves.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next day was a rainy day. In a simple shed, Xia Wanyuan was sitting on a chair and reading a script. Not far away, Su Yueran was also sitting quietly.

    The staff discussed the actors in the production team softly as they set up the set.

    ¡°As the saying goes, two tigers can¡¯t share one mountain, but why do I feel that Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran are quite harmonious? The two of them have good acting skills, are quiet, and speak politely.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because the two of them don¡¯t have any conflicts of interest? Anyway, they have backgrounds and can do whatever they want. I think the two of them will be very good friends. On the other hand, An Rao and Xia Wanyuan don¡¯t seem to match.¡±

    The two of them were chatting enthusiastically when a coldugh suddenly came from behind. ¡°Ha.¡±

    The staff hurriedly turned around to look and was embarrassed.

    Behind them stood the protagonist of their gossip, An Rao.

    An Rao was wrapped in a thick down jacket. Although she was not wearing high heels because of her pregnancy, her cold expression still frightened the staff. Everyone hurriedly retreated.

    It was really not good to talk about people behind their backs! They were caught red-handed by An Rao, whom they mention only once in eight hundred years.

    An Rao rolled her eyes, then looked at Su Yueran, who was sitting beside Xia Wanyuan in the distance, and shouted, ¡°Yuan Yuan!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down the script and walked over with a smile. ¡°Why are you here? Why are you running around when it¡¯s raining?¡±

    An Rao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°I miss you. I came out because it¡¯s raining. I¡¯m too bored at home. There¡¯s no one to y with me.¡±

    ¡°Alright, but I can¡¯t apany you because I have to film.¡± Xia Wanyuan allowed An Rao to lean on her.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just watching you act,¡± An Rao said as she nced at Su Yueran.

    At that moment, Su Yueran happened to look up. An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm tighter.

    <i>Snatch my best friend!!! Impossible!</i>?An Rao lookedpetitive.

    Su Yueran nced calmly at An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s linked hands, then lowered her head and continued reading the script.

    An Rao was bored to death at home every day. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, she had endless things to say. The originally quiet production team seemed very lively because of An Rao¡¯s arrival.

    Xia Wanyuan had an extremely good temper in front of An Rao and listened to her patiently.

    The others secretly nced over. They were a little surprised that the usually distant Xia Wanyuan was so close to An Rao.

    ¡°Miss Xia, thank you for your book. I¡¯ve seen your lessons and they were very good.¡± When it was time to film, Su Yueran walked over and returned the book in her hand to Xia Wanyuan.

    Su Yueran was just like her name. She had a faint smile and looked beautiful, making An Rao¡¯s heart ache.

    Although she did not want to admit it, she had to admit that Su Yueran was as gentle and refined as Xia Wanyuan, and she looked like she had manymon topics with Xia Wanyuan.

    Pregnant women were sensitive to emotions. Before Xia Wanyuan could say anything, An Rao felt wronged.

    <i>Boohoo, my best friend is going to be snatched away.</i>

 Chapter 1050 - Battle for Favor; An Rao Cried

    <h4>Chapter 1050: Battle for Favor; An Rao Cried</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan put down the script and greeted An Rao before changing into her costume.

    ¡°Okay, staff, get ready. Let¡¯s start filming!¡± After Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran changed their clothes, the director gave the order and all the staff were in position.

    Under the dim yellow light, the in-clothed Xia Wanyuan was sewing the torn robe in her hand under the candlelight.

    After the dynasty was destroyed, the precious little princess now had to personally patch her brother¡¯s torn clothes.

    On the bed not far away, her younger siblings were sleeping.

    The lights were like fireflies. Xia Wanyuan sat in front of the candlelight and stitched the patches into a pattern of an auspicious cloud. Because of this pattern, the coarse linen clothes seemed to have a luster.

    The candlelight swayed quietly, reflecting on the hair hanging down from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead, glowing gently.

    At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the window. Xia Wanyuan looked up warily, but a smile appeared in her eyes when she saw who it was.

    Xia Wanyuan put down the robe in her hand and walked softly into the courtyard.

    ¡°Miss, you¡¯re still sewing sote at night?¡± Cai Ling, who was yed by Su Yueran, walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a bamboo basket.

    ...

    Cai Ling was from a farmer¡¯s family, but she had an extremely good face. It was because of this that she was liked by the bullies in the countryside and wanted to snatch her back to the residence.

    It was Xia Wanyuan and her younger siblings who passed by. Seeing that she was pitiful, they saved her.

    Cai Ling was grateful to Xia Wanyuan, but the countryside people had nothing else to give her. They could only get some tofu overnight and go into the river to catch a few fish for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss, thank you for saving me today. If you need my help in the future, just tell me. I¡¯ll definitely help.¡± Cai Ling¡¯s eyes were clear and bright with the most primitive innocence.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind. I¡¯m older than you. You can call me elder sister.¡± Xia Wanyuan, who had just experienced the pain of her country being destroyed, was touched by Cai Ling¡¯s simplicity.

    ¡°Hey! Sister!¡± Cai Ling called out to Xia Wanyuan happily and handed the basket in her hand to her. ¡°This is for you. I¡¯ll send it to you tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the basket and smiled at Cai Ling.

    The moonlight tonight was beautiful, but it was not as beautiful as the real feelings in the eyes of the two women.

    No matter who saw the light in their eyes at this moment, they would think that this was a rtionship that surpassed a lifetime. No one could have expected that in just a few years, Cai Ling would be the first sharp knife to stab Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Good!¡± The director watched quietly until the end before praising, ¡°You¡¯ve grasped your feelings very well. As expected, you¡¯re good friends in and out of filming!¡±

    The director was just saying it casually, but An Rao did not think so.

    Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran were acting just now, but their sincere feelings made one feel as if they were there themselves. They could feel the light in their eyes.

    An Rao¡¯s heart ached even more. She liked Xia Wanyuan so much and did not want to share her with other women.

    When Xia Wanyuan returned after removing her makeup, she realized that An Rao was kicking the stones by her feet in disappointment.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought that An Rao missed Bo Xiao, so she wanted to bring her to change her mood.

    An Rao pursed her lips and nced at Su Yueran, who was walking over not far away. ¡°Just the two of us?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that An Rao was afraid of Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯ll call Jun Shiling and ask him not toe. The two of us can just eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao¡¯s mood warmed up a little.

    Jun Shiling had already gotten out of the elevator. Just as he was thinking about what to bring Xia Wanyuan to eatter, he received a call from her.

    ¡°Baby, this is too much.¡± After hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks.

    ¡°Please understand, CEO Jun. It¡¯s not easy for An Rao toe out.¡±

    ¡°Oh, then apany me for dinner tonight.¡± Jun Shiling waved at Lin Jing behind him and turned to return to the elevator. Without Xia Wanyuan apanying him, he could just casually settle his lunch at thepany.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home tonight, okay?¡±

    ¡°Good girl.¡± Jun Shiling was satisfied. ¡°Put on a scarf when you go out. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    An Rao watched from the side as Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling with a smile on her face. Her already ufortable heart became even moreplicated.

    She missed Bo Xiao. Not long ago, when she went out, Bo Xiao would also patiently instruct her.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that An Rao was unhappy. She pulled her arm and walked out. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡±

    An Rao told her the name of the restaurant she had been thinking about at home for a long time. Xia Wanyuan drove her to the restaurant.

    The restaurant was very quiet, and the hall was filled with soothing piano music.

    An Rao, who had juste to the production team to look for Xia Wanyuan, was still alive and kicking. At this moment, she was silent and depressed. Xia Wanyuan pushed the dessert in front of her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you unhappy?¡±

    An Rao sniffed. She wanted to say something but felt a little embarrassed. In the end, she swallowed her words and said tactfully, ¡°Sister, does Su Yueran get along well with you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought that An Rao would ask about Bo Xiao, but she did not expect An Rao to be interested in Su Yueran. ¡°She just came to the production team. I don¡¯t know her well.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± An Rao continued to probe. ¡°Then isn¡¯t her acting pretty good?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded andmented objectively, ¡°Her professional ability is very good.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s heart turned cold. ¡°She¡¯ll still listen to your ss. Will she understand?¡±

    ¡°She seems to havee from a literature major. Her understanding of many problems is quite unique.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s heart turned cold.

    <i>It was over. It was only the second day they had met, but Yuan Yuan already felt that Su Yueran¡¯s acting skills were good and she was cultured!!?</i>

    <i>A few dayster, Yuan Yuan would definitely feel that Su Yueran had a good personality and they had amonnguage!</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.?<i>Why did An Rao look even more unhappy than before after a few words??</i>¡°Why are you suddenly interested in her?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± An Rao pinched the spoon and poked the cake in front of her into pieces.

    Xia Wanyuan did not like to pry. She only thought that An Rao was in a bad mood, so she did not ask further. At that moment, the waiter brought the food over. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao lowered their heads to eat, and the table fell silent.

 Chapter 1051 - Successfully Fighting for Favor; Guest Arrived

    <h4>Chapter 1051: Sessfully Fighting for Favor; Guest Arrived</h4>

    An Rao ate absentmindedly. Xia Wanyuan suddenly reached out. ¡°Crab meat is cold. You¡¯re pregnant. Don¡¯t eat this.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan carefully picked out the crab meat from An Rao¡¯s bowl with a spoon.

    An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s patient expression and felt even more wronged.

    <i>Perhaps in two days, such a beautiful, gentle, cute, considerate, and talented best friend would not be mine. Xia Wanyuan would bring other women to y games, shop, eat, and drive. She would pick food for other women</i>

    The more An Rao thought about it, the sadder she became. In the end, her tears fell like broken beads, scaring Xia Wanyuan. She hurriedly sat over and patted An Rao¡¯s back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan and buried herself in her shoulder, crying sadly. ¡°Sister, will you abandon me after bing good friends with Su Yueran?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned. ¡°Why do you say that?¡±

    ¡°You think she¡¯s good-looking, good at acting, and cultured.¡± An Rao sobbed. ¡°Besides, you¡¯re both gentle people. Do you think I¡¯m talkative and like her more, so you¡¯ll be her best friend?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I like her more?¡±

    Tears hung on An Rao¡¯s eyshes as she stood up. ¡°Then will you be good friends with her?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°No.¡±

    ...

    She made friends based on fate. It depended on the feeling. She did not have much interaction with Su Yueran. Although she did not hate Su Yueran, she did not like her much.

    ¡°Really?¡± An Rao was still worried. ¡°Then promise me that you won¡¯t be good friends with her.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little amused. It turned out that An Rao had been depressed for so long because of this. She nodded. ¡°I promise.¡±

    An Rao pushed her luck and shook Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sleeve in embarrassment. ¡°Then will you only be my best friend?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded helplessly. ¡°Why do I need so many best friends?¡±

    An Rao was happy now. She raised her hand to wipe her tears. ¡°Sister, I knew you were the best.¡±

    ¡°Can we eat now?¡±

    ¡°Yes!!¡± In a good mood, An Rao¡¯s appetite returned and she happily began to enjoy the food.

    In order to show that she was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s best friend, after lunch, An Rao still followed Xia Wanyuan to the set and apanied her for filming. Xia Wanyuan allowed her.

    The afternoon filming ended early. Xia Wanyuan sent An Rao home and returned to the manor.

    Looking at the time, Xia Wanyuan thought of how she had missed Jun Shiling¡¯s appointment in the afternoon and walked into the kitchen. ¡°Mother Li, I¡¯ll give you a break tonight. I¡¯ll do it.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Mother Li was already used to Xia Wanyuan surprising Jun Shiling. She gave up her seat. ¡°I¡¯ll help you prepare the ingredients before leaving.¡±

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was waiting for him to eat at home, Jun Shiling left thepany after work and instructed Lin Jing to send Xiao Bao to Old Master Jun¡¯s house.

    Thinking that he could use the excuse of Xia Wanyuan not eating with him at noon to ask her for more benefits, Jun Shiling felt very good.

    However, when the car arrived at the entrance of the manor, his heart sank and he gestured for the chauffeur to stop.

    There was a long ck car at the entrance of the manor. Beside the car were two people.

    ¡°CEO Jun, long time no see.¡± An Lin reached out to Jun Shiling when he got out of the car.

    Jun Shiling held An Lin¡¯s hand. ¡°Long time no see.¡±

    An Lin was blond and handsome. Jun Shiling stood tall and cold. The two of them shook hands for a moment, as if they hadpleted a silentpetition in this short period of time.

 Chapter 1052 - Little Cutie

    <h4>Chapter 1052: Little Cutie</h4>

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re still as charming as before.¡± The corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his blue eyes had an unknown light.

    ¡°You too. What¡¯s the matter?¡± The Cape family was a family that could affect the entire Continent O¡¯s situation. Jun Shiling could not underestimate An Lin.

    ¡°I came to China for a visit, so I wanted to visit an old friend at the same time. CEO Jun, you won¡¯t not wee us, right?¡±

    ¡°Please.¡±

    The manor door opened and weed them in.

    In the main building, Xia Wanyuan had already prepared the food. Hearing footsteps, Xia Wanyuan weed them out of the living room with shallow dimples. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked over and smiled at her. ¡°Mm, you¡¯re back. Two guests are here. Let me introduce you.¡±

    ¡°An Lin, the person in charge of the Cape family.¡±

    An Lin¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°Hello, Madam Jun.¡±

    He understood a little why An Luo liked Xia Wanyuan so much. This woman had a very strange temperament that could calm people down. It was a beauty that had settled from the depths of her soul.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at An Lin.

    ...

    When it was An Luo¡¯s turn, An Luo clearly wanted to talk to Xia Wanyuan, but he felt that it was already embarrassing enough for him to take the initiative to look for her. If he still took the initiative to talk to her, it would be even more embarrassing. He was like a proud kitten. ¡°My brother insisted that I follow him.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m very happy to see you.¡± A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    An Luo¡¯s ears turned red. ¡°Oh.¡±

    ¡°Since we¡¯re already here, CEO Jun, do you mind treating us to a meal from China?¡± An Lin nced at An Luo. Knowing that he was close to Xia Wanyuan, he wanted to stay here for a while.

    ¡°Of course.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan secretly tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes. ¡°I gave Mother Li a break. You have to get the chef to make another one.¡±

    ¡°Please take a seat first. I¡¯ll get someone to arrange it.¡±

    However, An Luo sniffed the smell in the air. There was the fragrance of food. He was used to being pampered by An Lin and said whatever he wanted. ¡°But isn¡¯t the food already prepared?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not know that the food in the dining room was cooked by Xia Wanyuan, so he brought them to the dining room. However, the moment he saw the dishes, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. He could tell that this was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cooking.

    However, at this moment, An Luo had already walked to the table. ¡°It looks delicious. Brother, can we eat this?¡±

    An Lin smiled politely at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, we took the liberty toe. There¡¯s no need to prepare anything else. These are pretty good. I haven¡¯t seen CEO Jun in a long time. After dinner, I still want to chat with you.¡±

    At this point, Jun Shiling could not stop them.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had only made enough for three people. The four of them were not enough. In the end, they got the chef in the manor to add a few more dishes.

    An Lin tasted that the food behind was different from the previous ones. Thetter was more exquisite, but itcked a special taste.

    An Lin nced at Xia Wanyuan and picked up thest piece of sweet and sour pork with his chopsticks to put in An Luo¡¯s bowl.

    After dinner, An Lin and Jun Shiling went to the study. Xia Wanyuan sat with An Luo in the living room.

    ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. My brother insisted that I follow him. I didn¡¯te for you.¡± An Luo looked at Xia Wanyuan unnaturally.

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s short response immediately vexed An Luo again.

    <i>Am I too rude? Will Xia Wanyuan not like me?</i>

    ¡°Hey, I didn¡¯te empty-handed.¡± An Luo took out a velvet box from his pocket and ced it in front of Xia Wanyuan casually. ¡°My brother said that I had to bring a gift when I¡¯m a guest at someone else¡¯s house. I casually chose this one. It¡¯s for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and was almost blinded by the colorful light.

    A gorgeous brooch decorated with gemsy quietly in the box. Just by the texture and workmanship, one could tell that it was not ordinary, let alone the luster of the gems that were as smooth as flowing water.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan could tell that this brooch was quite expensive.

    An Luo rubbed the tip of his ear. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    <i>Didn¡¯t they say that Chinese valued etiquette the most? What¡¯s wrong with this woman? She doesn¡¯t even know that she has to give me something. Petty!?</i>

    ¡°They probably won¡¯t be out for a while. I¡¯m going to draw at the side. Do you want toe with me?¡±

    An Luo hesitated for a moment before saying reluctantly, ¡°Alright then.¡±

    Two hourster, the study door upstairs finally opened and Jun Shiling and An Lin walked down.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re indeed as you were back then.¡± An Lin looked at Jun Shiling, his blue eyes filled with admiration.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be in Beijing for a few more days. CEO Jun, do you mind if I disturb you often?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re weed.¡± Jun Shiling and An Lin walked downstairs.

    At the side of the living room, Xia Wanyuan was practicing calligraphy. An Luo leaned over and watched curiously.

    ¡°An Luo, say goodbye to CEO Jun. We¡¯re leaving,¡± An Lin called out to An Luo, who walked over reluctantly.

    ]¡±Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already put away her brush. She put the painting away and ced it in a wooden box at the side, then handed it to An Luo. ¡°This is for you.¡±

    An Luo¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Really?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm, thank you for the brooch.¡±

    An Luo reached out to take the wooden box.?<i>Cough, this woman still has a conscience.</i>

    An Luo carried the wooden box and followed An Lin into the car. When the car drove out of the manor, An Luo carried the wooden box on hisp.

    ¡°You¡¯re so happy.¡± An Lin stroked An Luo¡¯s head.

    ¡°No.¡± An Luo continued to be stubborn.

    An Lin smiled and did not expose him.

    In the manor, after finally sending the guest away, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Baby, was this the child who proposed to you in publicst time?¡±

    ¡°....¡±

 Chapter 1053 - Falling into CEO Junâ€™s Trick Again

    <h4>Chapter 1053: Falling into CEO Jun¡¯s Trick Again</h4>

    In the manor, after finally sending the guest away, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Baby, was this the child who proposed to you in publicst time?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°How do you know everything?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and led her upstairs. ¡°Does the brooch he gave you look good?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was helpless. ¡°He¡¯s just a twelve-year-old child. Why are you jealous of him?¡±

    After entering the room, Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and ced her on the bed. He did not leave. He supported himself above Xia Wanyuan and began to settle scores.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t have lunch with me today.¡±

    ¡°Mm, then I made dinner and waited for you at home to apologize to you.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tie hung by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corbone. Xia Wanyuan felt a little itchy and tugged at his tie, not noticing Jun Shiling¡¯s suddenly deep gaze.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk about it. The dinner all went into that child¡¯s stomach. I only ate a little.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll make another bowl of noodles for you?¡± Xia Wanyuan said and wanted to get up, but Jun Shiling pressed her back. Xia Wanyuan pushed him helplessly. ¡°Move a little.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and touched the tip of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nose. The faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan lingered around him. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat noodles. I want to eat you.¡±

    ¡°No, you always take so long.¡± Xia Wanyuan tilted her head to the side. Jun Shiling¡¯s dominance was vividly disyed at certain moments, and Xia Wanyuan could not resist at all.

    ...

    ¡°I¡¯ve already booked a ce to eat for lunch. I was looking forward to eating with you and even bought you a small cake.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was a little bitter, making Xia Wanyuan unable to bear it.

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t full at night as well.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression begin to loosen, Jun Shiling continued.

    Xia Wanyuan finally turned around again. Jun Shiling¡¯s slender hands tugged at his tie. His joints were well-defined, and his Adam¡¯s apple under his cor bobbed slightly.

    Although she was unwilling to admit it, Xia Wanyuan was indeed charmed by Jun Shiling. She closed her eyes as if she had epted her fate. ¡°I¡¯llpensate you, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled smugly, took off his tie, and gently tied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly opened her eyes. ¡°You¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over and sealed her mouth. ¡°You said you wanted topensate me.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan realized that she had been tricked by Jun Shiling again, it was already midnight.

    Looking at the dark night outside the window, Xia Wanyuan almost copsed under the nket. Her voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯ve changed.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged her from behind and kissed her on the cheek. ¡°How did I change?¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t mess around like this in the past.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt her face heat up just thinking about it. She wondered where Jun Shiling had learned those tricks.

    Jun Shiling chuckled and hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. ¡°I won¡¯t torture you anymore. Go to sleep.¡±

    Initially, Xia Wanyuan was very sleepy, but now, she was not. She turned around and rested her head on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm.

    .

    There was a warm temperature in the nket mixed with a hint of fragrance.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan felt very relieved. Her eyes curved into crescents. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so good-looking.¡±

    Jun Shiling wrapped his hand around her waist, and a warm glint shed across his eyes. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to sleep, I¡¯ll chat with you for a while. Or do you want to hear me tell you a story?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s chat. Tell me about the Cape family. You¡¯re quite polite to An Lin.¡± A family that could be treated politely by Jun Shiling must be extraordinary.

    It was silent and the bedroom was warm. Xia Wanyuan nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and closed her eyes to listen to him analyze the situation in Continent O. From time to time, she would ask some questions.

    After some time, the breathing of the person in his arms gradually calmed down. Only then did Jun Shiling stop talking and reach out to switch off the light.

    ¡ª¡ª

    No matter how they covered it, there were always some people secretly contacting the media to sell information rted to Xia Wanyuan.

    A few photos of Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran acting leaked out. Even the news of An Rao visiting the production team was spread by some marketing ounts.

    In the photo, Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes were equally pure. An Rao, who was sitting at the side, looked indignant and very angry.

    [ Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran are both big shots celebrities. Their family backgrounds are very simr. Such people should be very good friends. ]

    [ It¡¯s obvious that the two of them can be good friends. Su Yueran¡¯s personality is also very good, unlike An Rao. I feel that other than her face, she has nothing else. I really don¡¯t understand why Xia Wanyuan would be friends with her. Furthermore, I usually see An Rao leaning towards Xia Wanyuan. I don¡¯t know if I should say something. ]

    [The person in front, let me say it for you. Do you also suspect that An Rao is hugging someone powerful? After all, An Rao has mentioned Xia Wanyuan many times on Weibo, but Xia Wanyuan rarely responds.]

    These inexplicable guesses almost angered An Rao¡¯s fans to death. [So if Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t respond to An Rao on Weibo, An Rao is hugging her thigh? How do you know she didn¡¯t contact her in private? Did she call you to tell you?]

    No matter what An Rao¡¯s fans said, there were more and morements about An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship. Theizens unterally determined that Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran should be good friends.

    As for An Rao, she was purely chasing after Xia Wanyuan to hug her thigh.

    An Rao was originally eating sour plums at home, but when she saw thesements on Weibo, she was so angry that she could not even eat sour plums.

    She posted a Weibo post.

    @ An Rao:<i>?¡°???¡±</i>

    Soon, An Rao¡¯s response entered the trending list. Arge number of onlookers surged in. The most likedment made An Rao even angrier.

    [When I watched the variety show back then, I could tell that An Rao was constantly leaning towards Xia Wanyuan. That¡¯s why Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t reject her. No matter how I look at it, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan seem to be the same kind of people, unlike this An Rao. No matter how I look at it, I feel that the two of them don¡¯t match.]

    Coincidentally, Bo Xiao called. Hearing An Rao¡¯s angry voice, Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who made you angry?¡±

    An Rao sounded strangely disappointed. ¡°Bo Xiao, do I look very ipatible with Yuan Yuan? Did she be friends with me because she didn¡¯t want to reject me?¡±

    When An Rao was unhappy, her voice was low. Even if he could not see her, Bo Xiao could imagine her hugging her legs, lowering her eyes, and looking aggrieved. Usually, at this time, Bo Xiao would pat her head.

    But now, Bo Xiao could onlyfort her in a gentle voice. ¡°Do you think others can force Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not someone who would not reject others. Those she did not want to talk to or befriend, she would not even look at them.

    An Rao was convinced by Bo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°What you said makes sense. When are youing back?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1054: Sister for Life</h4>

    Bo Xiao¡¯s hand that was holding the phone paused. ¡°Soon.¡±

    It was almost judgment day. What his final conclusion was would depend on the oue of Old K¡¯s operation.

    An Rao was unhappy. Bo Xiao chatted with her for a while until An Rao was happy before hanging up.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely looked at Weibo when she had nothing to do. The next day, she did not know that there was news about her on the Inte again.

    Su Yueran was only a guest character in the ¡°Eldest Princess¡± movie. She did not have many scenes, but she had borrowed a lot of books from Xia Wanyuan. When she had time, she would stay on set to watch them act and read books.

    A staff member boldly spoke to Su Yueran, and Su Yueran chatted with the staff obediently.

    Looking at the performance that exaggerated all sorts of emotions in the venue, the staff could not help but sigh. ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are really good.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Su Yueran put down her book and nced at the venue. ¡°Miss Xia has good acting skills and is very knowledgeable. I quite like her.¡±

    The staff was curious. ¡°So you often stay on set because of Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    .

    Su Yueran nodded. ¡°I can learn more from her here.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too humble.¡± In the staff¡¯s opinion, Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran¡¯s fame wereparable. In terms of acting and knowledge, Su Yueran was also a famous existence in the entertainment industry.

    ...

    Soon, the content of Su Yueran and the staff¡¯s conversation was leaked online.

    [I knew it. People like Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan are attracted to each other.]

    [@ Xia Wanyuan, Su Yueran wants to be friends with you!]

    [ I have a very evil idea. Don¡¯t hit me. I suddenly feel that Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan are a good couple. What should I do? ]

    With the help of nosyizens, the topic ¡°Su Yueran wants to be friends with Xia Wanyuan¡± instantly appeared on Weibo¡¯s trending list. There were even a lot of video clips of the two of them.

    Xia Wanyuan was only reminded by the production team near noon and saw thesements online.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Su Yueran walked over with a perfectly apologetic expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll rify. I only expressed my admiration for you. I didn¡¯t expect it to ferment to this extent.¡±

    While the two of them were talking, Jun Shiling entered the production team to pick Xia Wanyuan up.

    ¡°Then please rify.¡± Normally, normal people would be polite, but Xia Wanyuan had never thought of being polite. Since Su Yueran had said that she wanted to rify, she should rify.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Yueran smiled and nodded. ¡°Do you remember thest time the director, Director Charon, came to China to choose a supporting role? When you have time, let¡¯s go to the audition together?¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, the director appeared from nowhere. ¡°Wanyuan, Yueran, you¡¯re both here. I helped you register for the auditionst time. Why don¡¯t you go over together tomorrow afternoon? You can take care of each other.¡±

    Since the director had said so, Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Okay, thank you, Director.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± The director waved his hand and nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re here.¡±

    .

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll wait for you at the set tomorrow.¡± Su Yueran smiled faintly, then turned to leave. When she passed by Jun Shiling, Su Yueran greeted him very politely. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling replied calmly, his gazending on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan jogged two steps towards Jun Shiling. ¡°Aren¡¯t you very busy? Why are you here?¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged her waist and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, ¡°Does your waist hurt?¡±

    Jun Shiling originally wanted to help Xia Wanyuan take half a day off, but Xia Wanyuan felt that she had already missed too many scenes. She could not dy the progress of the entire production team alone and insisted oning to the production team.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were red as she pushed Jun Shiling in embarrassment. ¡°Why are you asking this in public?¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and sat in the car, closing the door. ¡°Can¡¯t I ask? Let me massage you?¡±

    ¡°Fake mercy.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at him reproachfully. ¡°What¡¯s the use of rubbing it? I told you to be gentle yesterday, why didn¡¯t you listen?¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, ¡°I can¡¯t control myself.¡± This caused Xia Wanyuan to kick him.

    Su Yueran did as she said. Soon, she posted a rification Weibo.

    @ Su Yueran: ¡°@ Xia Wanyuan, Miss Xia is a very outstanding person. It¡¯s normal to have a good impression of outstanding people. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao are inseparable good friends. Everyone, don¡¯t randomly make people friends ~¡±

    [Wow, goddess, you haven¡¯t appeared in a long time. You actually remember your Weibo ount password?]

    [ Hahaha, we didn¡¯t randomly cause people to make friends. You and Xia Wanyuan look morepatible. I feel that the two of you aren¡¯t acting as good sisters. The two of you are good sisters. ]

    [I don¡¯t think Xia Wanyuan and An Rao are that good. I think it¡¯s more suitable for you to be friends with Xia Wanyuan. Your families and personalities match too well.]

    Not only did the passers-by think so, but many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans also had the same thoughts.

    After all, the fans were like old parents who were worried about their idol.

    Su Yueran¡¯s family background and character were all top-notch, and she was a proper top student. Inparison, An Rao was the mischievous poor student in the eyes of parents. Everyone naturally hoped that Xia Wanyuan could y with Su Yueran.

    Although An Rao was magnanimous, she could not help but look at thesements on the Inte. The more she looked at them, the sadder she felt.

    An Rao was a person whocked love and a sense of security. Looking at thesements online, she would begin to question herself if she was really as bad as theizens said.

    Then, she pondered at home for a long time and finally came to a very discouraged conclusion. Xia Wanyuan and her really did not match at all.

    She struggled for a long time, imagining a lot of scenes of Xia Wanyuan breaking up with her. In the end, she was extremely sad.

    When she picked up her phone again, she realized that thements on Weibo had suddenly begun to increase crazily.

    She pressed on it and her eyes turned red.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had posted a Weibo post.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°@ An Rao, be good and raise the baby. I¡¯m waiting to be a godmother (cat touching head emoticon).¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response did not mention a single word about friends, but it made one feel that she had a good rtionship with An Rao.

    [Why does Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words sound inexplicably aggressive?? As expected, after staying with a domineering CEO for a long time, her words have the taste of a domineering CEO?]

    [ So fairies use emoticons too? Hahahahaha, this cat touching its head is really cute. ]

    [ I¡¯m so touched. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response has already exined everything. She¡¯s waiting to be the godmother of An Rao¡¯s child. We have a good rtionship. Does this group of unrted outsiders have the right to pull people together? ]

 Chapter 1055 - Two Little Cuties

    <h4>Chapter 1055: Two Little Cuties</h4>

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response, theizens finally did not dare to openly say that An Rao and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship was not good, but that did not mean that the number of people who wanted Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan to be friends decreased.

    [People don¡¯t only have one friend in their lives. Even if they have a good rtionship now, who knows in the future?]

    [ I¡¯ll silently acknowledge Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan as a couple. Anyway, I think the two of them will definitely be very good friends in the future. I¡¯ll post this as evidence. ]

    [ You¡¯re really annoying. When Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯te out to rify, you said that Xia Wanyuan and An Rao don¡¯t have a good rtionship. When he even came out and said that she wanted to be the godmother of An Rao¡¯s child, you said that Xia Wanyuan will definitely have a good rtionship with Su Yueran in the future. Theizens are really amazing. Why don¡¯t you go and read her fortune? ]

    Xia Wanyuan had also seen thesements online. She called An Rao andforted her for a while. Finally, she made An Rao happy.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re so good.¡± An Rao sniffed. Other than Bo Xiao, she was the person who treated her the best in the world.

    ¡°You¡¯re very good too.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Take good care of the baby. Don¡¯t pay attention to the opinions of irrelevant people.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± An Rao touched her stomach and smiled with curved eyes.

    Beijing Hotel Suite.

    An Lin finally finished settling his matters. He pushed open the door and saw that An Luo was still sitting at the door. He had already been in this position three hours ago.

    An Lin stroked An Luo¡¯s head. ¡°An Luo, why are you squatting here?¡±

    ...

    An Luo turned around, his blue eyes clearly unhappy. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    An Lin knew An Luo the best. He smiled. ¡°Are you just hungry?¡± He probably wanted to y with Xia Wanyuan, but he was embarrassed.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m hungry.¡± An Luo turned around. He had almost dug a hole in the woolen carpet in front of him.

    An Lin took An Luo¡¯s scarf from the shelf at the side and squatted down to wrap it around him. An Luo looked up, his clear eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Brother, where are we going?¡±

    An Lin pulled An Luo up. ¡°I still have something to discuss with Jun Shiling that we haven¡¯t finished thest time. Let¡¯s go to the Jun family.¡±

    ¡°Oh ~ Okay.¡± An Luo tried his best to suppress the corners of his lips.

    An Lin saw the corners of An Luo¡¯s lips curl up and a smile shed across his eyes.

    Actually, the moment he saw Xia Wanyuan, he knew why An Luo liked her so much.

    Xia Wanyuan had a rare temperament that could calm people down. It was as if she had already settled in time for a thousand years, making one¡¯s heart quieten down with her.

    This stable power had a fatal attraction toward An Luo, who had followed him through all the bloodshed and hiding experiences since he was young.

    An Luo took two steps and saw his tall brother beside him. He reached out and pulled An Lin. ¡°Brother.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± An Lin took a coat from the side and put it on. He put on a gentleman¡¯s hat and looked like a noble who had walked out of a medieval painting.

    ¡°I love you the most.¡± An Luo¡¯s blue eyes stared straight at An Lin, sincere and dependent.

    ¡°I know. Brother loves you the most.¡± An Lin, who was serious in front of outsiders, appeared gentle and patient in front of his only brother.

    In the long period of hibernation, he had slept in water pipes, escaped being shot, and gone to the streets at five in the morning to beg for food. From the beginning to the end, his only family, An Luo, had been by his side.

    He had considered sending him out of the country and bringing him back when everything was settled. However, every time he sent An Luo away, no matter how far away he was, An Luo would try his best to return to his side.

    Now, as long as An Luo wanted, he would give him everything in the world.

    Only then was An Luo relieved. ¡°I prepared a gift for Xia Wanyuan today too.¡±

    An Lin pulled him out and was about to leave when he stopped with his hand on the doorknob. An Lin looked at An Luo, his blue eyes deep and unreadable. ¡°Last time, you said that you wanted Xia Wanyuan to be your wife. Is that true?¡±

    An Luo knew his brother¡¯s thoughts very well. An Luo shook his head. ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t need it. I just want to stay by your side forever.¡±

    The corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up as he stroked An Luo¡¯s hair. ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the manor, Xiao Bao, who had stayed at Old Master Jun¡¯s house for a few days, was finally released. He was lying in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and eating milk candy.

    Footsteps suddenly came from the door, scaring Xiao Bao so much that he hurriedly spat out the remaining half and wrapped it in sugar paper before pinching it in his hand.

    The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xiao Bao began to tter Jun Shiling. ¡°Mommy, Daddy works so hard every day. Daddy is the most handsome and best person in the world.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at Xiao Bao in amusement and did not expose him.

    ¡°Madam.¡± Uncle Wang¡¯s voice sounded behind her. ¡°There¡¯s a guest.¡±

    Xiao Bao crawled out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms and secretly looked back, then met a pair of equally clear eyes.

 Chapter 1056 - Guests in the Manor

    <h4>Chapter 1056: Guests in the Manor</h4>

    ¡°Good evening, Madam Jun.¡± An Lin took off his hat and lowered his head slightly at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Hello, Jun Shiling won¡¯t be back for a while. Sit first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, sorry to disturb you.¡± An Lin walked to the sofa and sat down.

    An Luo handed a box to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I bought it as a gift. It¡¯s for tonight¡¯s meal.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and saw an extremely beautiful pair of pink diamond earrings.?<i>This dinner cost too much.</i>

    ¡°Wow, it¡¯s so beautiful!!¡± Xiao Bao eximed.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao and introduced him. ¡°Call him Uncle An Lin. Call this little friend Brother.¡±

    Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes and called An Lin uncle sweetly. An Lin nodded slightly. He had no patience for all children, except for his younger brother.

    ¡°Little Brother.¡± Xiao Bao stared curiously at An Luo¡¯s blue eyes. He thought of the princes in the sea in fairy tales. Their eyes were also blue. ¡°Your eyes are so beautiful.¡±

    An Luo replied unnaturally and moved closer to An Lin.

    An Lin stroked An Luo¡¯s hair and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, you can busy yourself. I can wait for CEO Jun myself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not stand on ceremony. She did not know much about An Lin and Jun Shiling, so she could not say much to An Lin. She could only instruct Uncle Wang to serve the fruits and pastries.

    Xiao Bao also received a piece of sugar cake.

    ......

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Bao took a bite of the candy and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.<i>?It was too delicious! It was much more delicious than milk candy!</i>

    Xiao Bao was satisfied with the candy crumbs. Xia Wanyuan reached out to wipe them for him.

    ¡°Thank you, Mommy.¡± Xiao Bao held the candy cake and smiled sweetly at Xia Wanyuan.

    When An Luo, who was sitting opposite him, saw this scene, he lowered his eyes dejectedly. An Lin turned around and brought the pastry that An Luo liked to his mouth.

    When Jun Shiling returned to the manor, he was holding an entire bouquet of bright roses. On the way home from work, he saw that the roses in the flower shop by the roadside were blooming, so he bought some.

    Just as he walked to the door, Uncle Wang weed him.

    ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s a guest at home. It¡¯s Mr. An Lin from the Cape family.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling did not stop moving. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Xiao Bao had lost his mind because of the sweet sugar cake and milk candy and hadpletely let down his guard. Not only did he eat the sugar cake openly, but he even took out his milk candy to share with An Luo.

    ¡°Little Brother, eat quickly. My daddy won¡¯t let us eat when hees backter. He¡¯s super fierce,¡± Xiao Bao secretly said to An Luo.

    Just as the candy wrapper was removed, a big hand reached out from behind. Xiao Bao turned around and was shocked.

    Jun Shiling took all the snacks from Xiao Bao and threw them aside. Then, he grabbed his cor and handed him to Uncle Wang. ¡°Uncle Wang, bring him to brush his teeth.¡±

    .

    How could Jun Shiling not tell An Lin¡¯s intentions? He nced at Xia Wanyuan and handed her the red rose in his hand, then looked at An Lin. ¡°Let¡¯s talk upstairs.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Only Xia Wanyuan and An Luo were left in the living room. After a while, Xiao Bao was sent down by Uncle Wang.

    An Luo felt very ufortable sitting here. Others were the mother and son, while he was sitting here unnecessarily.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him, stood up, and pulled Xiao Bao to the side to say something. Xiao Bao went upstairs and took arge pile of his beloved toys, then sat beside An Luo.

    Xiao Bao was not as arrogant as An Luo. He would be very straightforward about who he liked. Xiao Bao hugged An Luo¡¯s arm. ¡°Little Brother, can you y with me?¡±

    An Luo¡¯s body stiffened. This child was a little too enthusiastic, making him very ufortable.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over and sat on the carpet. She waved at Xiao Bao and An Luo. An Luo hesitated for a moment, but in the end, Xiao Bao pulled him over.

    In the study, An Lin and Jun Shiling sat opposite each other.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I believe you already know something, right?¡± At this moment, An Lin was no longer as gentle and patient as he had been in front of An Luo. His eyes were like an eagle¡¯s with an extremely invasive aura. ¡°After all, your informationwork is muchrger than mine.¡±

    Jun Shiling and An Lin met each other¡¯s gazes. ¡°There¡¯s a problem in Continent F. The next step will affect Continent O. I shouldn¡¯t be the first to be anxious.¡±

    An Lin smiled. ¡°Really? CEO Jun, don¡¯t you know that the target of Sea Shark and Old K is China? And from what I know, Old K has already begun to take action.¡±

    Jun Shiling picked up the teacup and took a sip, not surprised at all.

    ¡°As expected, I was overthinking. With CEO Jun around, what is there to be afraid of?¡±

    Jun Shiling put down his teacup. ¡°You should have another agendaing to look for me.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t hide anything from CEO Jun.¡± An Lin took out a document. ¡°CEO Jun, you can take a look at this document first. Let¡¯s talk in detail.¡±

    The study fell silent.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Luo ate dinner together. Jun Shiling and An Lin chatted in the study for a long time. It was almost eleven when the study door finally opened.

    ¡°An Luo, let¡¯s go.¡± An Lin went downstairs and called out to An Luo, who was watching Xia Wanyuan draw.

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Luo seemed to be in a good mood and ran happily to An Lin¡¯s side.

    Facing the coldness of the night, An Lin left the manor with An Luo.

    ¡°An Luo, we¡¯re leaving Beijing tomorrow.¡± An Lin pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was a little hungry and tired.

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Luo nodded and took out a few pastries from a box. ¡°Brother, this is for you.¡±

    An Lin was a little puzzled. ¡°I thought you would be reluctant to leave.¡± After all, An Luo seemed to really like spending time with Xia Wanyuan.

    An Luo took off his shoes and leaned against An Lin. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m very envious of that child. He has Xia Wanyuan¡¯s care and aplete family.¡±

    An Lin¡¯s hand that was holding the pastry paused. Just as he was about to say something, An Luo continued, ¡°But I have you. I know that Brother is the best person in the world to me.¡±

    An Lin¡¯s heart warmed. He smiled and patted An Luo¡¯s head. ¡°Silly child.¡±

 Chapter 1057 - Warm Daily Life

    <h4>Chapter 1057: Warm Daily Life</h4>

    In the manor, Xiao Bao had already gone to bed, and the servants had also gone to rest.

    The lights were on in the kitchen, and Xia Wanyuan was beating eggs into the noodles. The mes licked the bottom of the pot, and the thick soup mixed with the fragrance of the noodles rolled in the pot, gurgling.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist from behind and rested his head on her shoulder. ¡°It smells so good.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll put some vegetables for you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a step forward, and Jun Shiling followed her.

    Jun Shiling liked to eat tender cabbage hearts. Xia Wanyuan cut a little and ced it in the noodles. ¡°Add some prawns.¡±

    The fragrance of the noodles became stronger. Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, causing her to struggle. ¡°Loosen up. You¡¯re hugging me too tightly.¡± Only then did Jun Shiling let go slightly.

    The light in the kitchen was warm, casting a shadow on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. Her hair fell over her ears, making her look even more gentle.

    It was silent. Outside the window was the surging night. The house was filled with the rich fragrance of noodles, the warm light, and Xia Wanyuan was in his arms. Jun Shiling closed his eyes, as if he had found a harbor. His heart was extremely peaceful.

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to have sensed something and tilted her head slightly. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Jun Shiling rubbed against her shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s good to have you.¡±

    The noodles were already cooked. Xia Wanyuan reached out to turn off the fire. Jun Shiling opened his eyes. ¡°Alright, let me do it. I don¡¯t want to scald you.¡±

    In the quiet dining room, there was only the sound of Jun Shiling chewing quietly. Xia Wanyuan sat beside him and looked at the newspaper in her hand.

    The temperature downstairs was a little low, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet were warm around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist.

    ......

    The two of them did not speak, but the current scene was better than a thousand words.

    It was also night. There was silence and extreme noise.

    Tonight was the day Zhang Yi held a banquet in the Mu family¡¯s mansion. The melody of the piano sounded in the gorgeous dance hall.

    ¡°Sister Yueran.¡± Wang Ya raised her red wine ss at Su Yueran.

    Su Yueran smiled at her. ¡°Mrs. Mu¡¯s banquet today is very sessful.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all because my mother knew you wereing and specially woke up early to decorate it herself.¡± Wang Ya leaned towards Su Yueran. ¡°Sister Yueran, can I ask you a question?¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Su Yueran was dressed in a crescent-shaped white gown, and the pearls at the tips of her ears shone brightly.

    ¡°Are you really on good terms with Xia Wanyuan?¡± Wang Ya probed.?<i>Xia Wanyuan was Wei Jin¡¯s backer. If Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan yed well, wouldn¡¯t she be rted to Wei Jin??</i>

    Su Yueran took a sip of red wine. ¡°It¡¯s just a colleague rtionship. Haven¡¯t I already rified it on Weibo?¡±

    Wang Ya was a straightforward person. Hearing Su Yueran say this, she felt relieved, but she was still a little worried. Wang Ya nced at Su Yueran. ¡°Sister Yueran, actually, I think Xia Wanyuan is deliberately imitating your temperament.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡±

    ¡°Really.¡± Wang Ya swore confidently. ¡°I saw Xia Wanyuan a year ago. At that time, she was extremely arrogant and had thick makeup on. She was not liked by anyone at all. It was only after she began to change her stylest year that she slowly gained so many fans.¡±

    What Wang Ya said had some basis. After all, Su Yueran had been famous in the entertainment industry for a long time. Her unique temperament had always been discussed enthusiastically by everyone in the entertainment industry. Countless people wanted to learn from her, but in the end, they could not.

    ¡°Miss Xia naturally has her unique charm. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been favored by CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Thest thing Wang Ya wanted to see was Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship getting better. She tried her best to deny it. ¡°That¡¯s because she was lucky to have met CEO Jun before you. She imitated your style and temperament. If you had met CEO Jun first, CEO Jun would definitely have liked you.¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s eyes flickered as she smiled and stopped Wang Ya. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. I brought you some gifts. Pick one.¡±

    ¡°Sister Yueran, I knew you were the best!¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The hotel where Director Charon and the rest were staying had simply attracted the entire Chinese entertainment industry over the past few days. Batch after batch of people auditioned, but Director Charon was never satisfied.

    ¡°Director, since we can¡¯t find an actor in China, why don¡¯t we try somewhere else?¡± In a few days, at least a thousand people had been rejected by Director Charon. The assistant was extremely tired for the director.

    ¡°You don¡¯t understand. I need someone with an Oriental aura to act as a supporting actress. Chinese actors are the most suitable.¡± There was another reason that Director Charon did not say.

    Furthermore, no other country had such arge film and television market like China. If they chose a Chinese actor, the fees for the publicity in theter stages would be much lower, and the box office results would be much higher.

    ¡°Alright, go to sleep.¡± The director waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll study the actors who are auditioning tomorrow.¡±

 Chapter 1058 - Coincidence

    <h4>Chapter 1058: Coincidence</h4>

    After crossing out all the actors who had auditioned in the past few days, Director Charon flipped through the photos that were going to be auditioned tomorrow.

    After flipping for a long time, he sighed in disappointment. ¡°Sigh, why can¡¯t I see any spiritual energy?!¡±

    Just as he was about to throw the photos aside to sleep, two photos suddenly fell from the back. Director Charon was stunned when he casually nced at them.

    The woman in the two photos was very beautiful. Most importantly, their gentle eyes were filled with emotions. It matched his imagination of ssic Chinese women.

    Director Charon picked up the two photos.

    One was a photo of a woman sitting by the stream and looking gently at the camera. The woman¡¯s gentleness was even greater than the stream.

    The other photo was of a woman riding a horse. On the vast grasnd, the woman in a red dress was like a me, but her eyes gave off a gentle power.

    Director Charon¡¯s eyes lit up. He turned the photo over and looked at it. Behind the photo of the woman by the stream was written ¡°Su Yueran¡±, and the photo of the woman riding the horse was written ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡±.

    Director Charon took a few more nces. The more he looked, the more he felt that although their temperament was very simr at first nce, anyone could have gentleness. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sharp aura was not something anyone could have.

    Director Charon threw Su Yueran¡¯s photo aside and ced it on the cab.

    At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Director Charon stood up to take a look. It was the hotel staff.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m here to send you fruits.¡± The staff took down a te of fresh fruits from the truck. ¡°This is from our hotel for free. I wish you a pleasant stay.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Director Charon smiled and took it. ¡°Thank you. Your hotel¡¯s service is so thorough.¡±

    ......

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± With a standard smile, the staff took out a few magazines from the car. ¡°Our manager knows that you¡¯re an internationally famous director, so he specially prepared some Chinese film and television magazines for you to kill time.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Director Charon thought to himself that the management of this hotel was quite good at reading faces. He reached out and took the magazine, then closed the door.

    Director Charon took a shower and sat on the bed. When he turned on the television, he realized that it was in Chinese. He could not understand it. At that moment, he saw a magazine not far away. He took it and flipped through it, but he did not expect to see a familiar face.

    Director Charon did not know Chinese, so he did not know that this was actually a gossip magazine. The production date after the page was two years ago.

    On the third page of the magazine were a fewrge photos.

    In the photo, Xia Wanyuan had an arrogant expression. Her curly hair and smoky makeup were extremely strong, instantly wiping away the good impression Director Charon had of her.

    After flipping through one book, the inner page of the other magazine was a photo of Su Yueran. In the photo, she was wearing a white sweater and holding a cup of milk tea. She was looking at the camera and smiling lightly. She was extremely clean, especially to Director Charon, who had just been shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s terrifying makeup. This was simply a clear stream.

    Director Charon stood up and threw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo on the cab to the ground. He then found Su Yueran¡¯s photo from the ground and ced it on the cab.

    In the manor, Jun Shiling finished his noodles and scratched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s leg that was wrapped around his waist. ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was tickled. A smile appeared in her eyes as she gently kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s posture and wrapped her feet around his waist. He covered her with his suit jacket and carried her upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan nestledzily on him, toozy to move. ¡°I¡¯m so tired.¡±

    Jun Shiling ced her under the nket. ¡°You¡¯re not showering anymore?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She narrowed them. ¡°Help me.¡±

    Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face happily. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Ten minutester.

    In the bedroom, ¡°Jun Shiling!¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice came, vaguely hoarse with forbearance. ¡°Yes, Madam. Didn¡¯t you ask me to help you?¡±

    ¡°Get out.¡±

    However, no one came out of the bathroom. In the end, Xia Wanyuan was carried out by Jun Shiling.

    <h4>Chapter 1059: Su Yueran Wiping the Princess¡¯ Shoes</h4>

    The next day, the sky was gloomy and looked like it was about to rain.

    ¡°Baby, don¡¯t go to the production team today. I¡¯ll help you apply for leave.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not sleep well and looked a little tired. ¡°I¡¯m going to the audition today. Help me put on my clothes.¡±

    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll pick you up after your audition.¡± Jun Shiling could only take Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and help her wear them slowly.

    At the entrance of the production team, Su Yueran was dressed in a white robe with a few red plums embroidered on the sides. Standing under the eaves, she subconsciously made the entire eaves seem to be tainted with the faint fragrance of the plum blossoms.

    Not far away, a car slowly drove over. Su Yueran looked up with watery eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Su Yueran outside the window and suddenly pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Look outside.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked out and was confused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to eat fried potatoes? No, that¡¯s not healthy.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°I¡¯m asking you to see if Su Yueran is beautiful.¡±

    Jun Shilingmented objectively, ¡°Not bad. She¡¯s considered a beauty in the eyes of the public.¡±

    ¡°Then what about your aesthetic standards?¡± Xia Wanyuan was yful and insisted on asking Jun Shiling.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling nced at her and could not be bothered to answer this question.

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you, are you feeling guilty?¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed. ¡°Sigh, as expected, once a man seeds in his goal, he bes perfunctory.¡±

    ......

    Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan act from the side. ¡°My aesthetic taste is you. Are you happy?¡±

    ¡°What sweet words.¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    Jun Shiling simply threw away the document and pinched Xia Wanyuan into his arms, scratching her waist. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was most ticklish. ¡°You¡¯re doing this on purpose, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong.¡±

    Su Yueran stood and waited for a long time before the car door in front of her opened. Xia Wanyuan walked out with a smile and waved at the car before walking towards Su Yueran.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Su Yueran nodded slightly at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°We can go over now.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped smiling and went to the hotel where Director Charon was staying with Su Yueran.

    The sky became darker and darker, as if it was about to rain. The pedestrians on the road walked hurriedly, wanting to find a ce to hide.

    Outside the film studio building, there was a long line.

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, youngdy, how¡¯s the situation? Did you pass?¡± Everyone was waiting anxiously when they suddenly saw a youngdy walk out of the building. They hurriedly pulled her and asked.

    The little girl looked up, and everyone¡¯s eyes lit up<i>. Wow, what a beautiful little girl.?</i>

    The little girl had exquisite facial features on her oval face. Her big eyes seemed to be untainted by dust as they blinked as if they could speak.

    The moment the youngdy spoke, her voice was crisp and sweet, filled with vigor. ¡°No, the interviewer said that I don¡¯t even know how to match my own clothes. I don¡¯t look like I¡¯m made for the film industry.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Only then did everyone notice her clothes. They were not old-fashioned. She was wearing a white down jacket, a pair of jeans, and a pair of sneakers. It was the standard outfit for young people. However,pared to the candidates in the line who were still bare-legged and wearing high heels, she indeed looked too student-like.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing! I can still look for more.¡± The little girl¡¯s eyes were like crescents when she smiled. Her eyes were filled with the clear water by the stream. ¡°You have to work hard and try to find a job early!¡±

    ¡°Hey, good luck.¡± Everyone was a little surprised. After all, coldness had be the norm in this city. Everyone¡¯s hearts warmed when they were suddenly encouraged by a stranger with such a sweet voice.

    Lu Li turned to look at the tall film center with some regret in her eyes, but in the end, she turned and left.

    ¡°When can I find a job?¡± Although she hade to try with a smile, she was still a little disappointed after being fiercely criticized by that interviewer for nearly five minutes.

    Lu Li took out her phone and calcted. She still had 15,000 yuan in savings. If she gave her grandparents back 10,000 yuan, she would have 10,000 yuan left. After deducting her monthly living expenses, she would pay 4,000 yuan in rent for a quarter. Then, she would have no money.

    If she still could not find a job, she would really have to live in the bridge hole.

    ¡°Guan Yin Bodhisattva, please bless me and let me find a job as soon as possible.¡± Lu Li pressed her palms together and muttered piously.

    ¡°Meow.¡± A cat suddenly meowed in the grass beside her. Lu Li turned around and saw a dirty and thin cat. It looked like it had been hungry for a long time and was very pitiful.

    Lu Li took out a ham sausage from her backpack, pinched off a small section, and broke off a little steamed bun for it. However, the kitten crawled out of the grass from the other side.

    Lu Li could only pick up the steamed bun and ham and follow it around. Finally, she threw the thing in front of it and the kitten ate it in small bites.

    After failing the interview, Lu Li did not find a job. Since she was free, she squatted at the side and watched the kitten eat.

    ¡°You look like my grandmother¡¯s little cat,¡± Lu Li said with a sad look in her eyes. She missed her grandparents and the birds, cows, and cats in Green Mountain Vige. She missed the food at home.

    However, her grandparents had finally raised her until she graduated from university. She had wanted to bring them to Beijing to see the square and the Forbidden City Museum, but she had not even found a job. She did not know when her wish would be fulfilled.

    In the car, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan were sitting side by side. She turned around. ¡°Miss Xia, do you mind if I eat some sandwiches? I didn¡¯t eat in the morning.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡±

    Su Yueran took out a sandwich and ate it in small bites. The heater was turned on in the car, so the air was not easy to circte. There was a faint fragrance of meat lingering in the car.

    At this moment, the car suddenly jolted. The sandwich in Su Yueran¡¯s hand fell and spilled on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoes.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,dies. There was a speed bump on the road just now.¡± The chauffeur hurriedly apologized.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked down. Although there were some crumbs on her shoes, fortunately, she was wearing leather shoes today. She would be fine after wiping them.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t hold it properly. I¡¯ll wipe it for you,¡± Su Yueran said as she took out a tissue from her bag and lowered her head to wipe it for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright.¡± To Su Yueran¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan did not decline at all. She sat leisurely in her seat and waited for Su Yueran to wipe her shoes.

    Su Yueran tightened her grip on the tissue in her hand and wiped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoes clean. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m really sorry.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Just wipe it clean.¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the car stopped.

    The chauffeur got out of the car and checked. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with the tires. If the twodies are in a hurry, why don¡¯t you call a taxi first? It¡¯s the peak period now. It¡¯ll probably be toote when the tow truckes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.?<i>This morning is rather eventful.?</i>¡°Okay, let¡¯s take a taxi ourselves.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran got out of the car.

 Chapter 1060 - The Princess Kicked the Vicious Dog

    <h4>Chapter 1060: The Princess Kicked the Vicious Dog</h4>

    However, it was the peak period and there was no car waiting.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. ¡°Why don¡¯t we walk and wait? This ce isn¡¯t far from Director Charon¡¯s hotel.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Yueran nodded.

    Hence, the two of them slowly walked along the road at the side.

    Lu Li squatted and watched the kitten finish its food. She stood up and was about to leave when the kitten in front of her seemed to have sensed something and suddenly became vignt. Its fur stood up and it instantly jumped onto the tree.

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened. She did not know what had happened that caused this kitten to suddenly lose control.

    However, in the next second, a big ck dog suddenly rushed out of the grass in front of him. It looked vicious and had sharp and long fangs.

    Lu Li was shocked and hurriedly ran to the side. However, the dog did not seem to notice her at all and pounced behind her.

    Lu Li turned around. Not far away, two young women were walking with their backs facing her. They did not notice the big dog behind her.

    Lu Li hurriedly shouted and rushed over. ¡°Hey!! Get out of the way!! There¡¯s a dog!¡±

    The dog was too fast. Lu Li pulled off the bag on her back and threw it at the big dog. The big dog¡¯s back hurt. With a howl, it turned around and bit Lu Li¡¯s leg. Lu Li dodged, but she was still inevitably bitten.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had already sensed it and turned around. The dog was not done after biting Lu Li. It quickly turned around and pounced on Xia Wanyuan.

    Wearing leather shoes, Xia Wanyuan kicked the dog¡¯s neck. With a crack, the dog fell to the ground. Its bloody mouth was open, and its long teeth were exposed, looking very terrifying.

    ......

    ¡°Why did this dog suddenly rush over?¡± Su Yueran frowned slightly, as if she was frightened, her eyes filled with fear.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored her and walked straight forward. She supported Lu Li, who was lying on the ground, and lifted the hem of her pants to take a look. There was a row of shallow imprints. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to get a rabies vine.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, we still have something on.¡± At that moment, two taxis drove over. Su Yueran raised her hand to stop the car. ¡°Have you forgotten that we still have an audition? Let¡¯s give the money to the driver and get him to bring thisdy to the hospital.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan helped Lu Li up. ¡°I¡¯ll send her there. Go to the audition first. I¡¯lle backter.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan brought Lu Li into the car.

    In the car, Lu Li¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened. She ignored the pain in her leg. ¡°Are you Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan helped her check her wound. ¡°You recognize me?¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. If not for the fact that her leg had been bitten, she would have jumped up. ¡°I like you very much!! I even received the bursary fund you set for your students!!¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan also saw Lu Li¡¯s clear and almost transparent eyes and had a good impression of her. ¡°Does it hurt?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt!¡± Lu Li stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful. You¡¯re much better-looking than on television!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. Fortunately, at this moment, the driver sent them to the entrance of the hospital and Xia Wanyuan helped Lu Li in.

    The doctor gave Lu Li a rabies vine and bandaged her wound.

    At this moment, Su Yueran called Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯ve already told Director Charon about your situation. Come over quickly.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there in a while.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up. Lu Li was limping towards her.

    ¡°Fairy Sister, I can already go back myself. I¡¯m sorry to dy your matters. Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°No, if not for your reminder, I would have been the one bitten.¡± Xia Wanyuan helped her out. ¡°I¡¯ll call a car for you. Just tell him the address.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Li nodded and suppressed the excitement in her heart.?<i>She could not help but nce at Xia Wanyuan. Ahhh, the goddess is so beautiful! Her body smells good! She¡¯s indeed a fairy!?</i>

    The elevator finally arrived. When the door opened, she met a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes.

    These peach blossom eyes were originally looking at the elevator door casually, but when they saw Xia Wanyuan, they lit up. ¡°Miss Xia, why did I meet you here?¡±

 Chapter 1061 - Youâ€™re a Good Person; Princess Audition

    <h4>Chapter 1061: You¡¯re a Good Person; Princess Audition</h4>

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at him and nced at the medicine in his hand. It was a nerve suppressor. Xia Wanyuan looked away. ¡°I came to apany the youngdy for a vine.¡±

    Xuan Sheng moved to the side for a moment, his peach blossom eyes shining. ¡°Let¡¯s go down together.¡±

    The elevator descended quickly and quickly arrived downstairs. Xuan Sheng blocked the elevator door with his hand and waited for Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li to walk out.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t drive here?¡± Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Lu Li¡¯s leg. ¡°I¡¯m going to a different ce from her. If not, could you please help me send this youngdy off? She was bitten by a dog because she saved me. I have to rush to an event.¡±

    ¡°This¡­ Alright.¡± Although he could not send Xia Wanyuan, it was good to be able to help her. Xuan Sheng touched the prayer beads in his hand. ¡°Then how are you going?¡±

    ¡°I can take a taxi.¡± At that moment, a taxi drove over. Xia Wanyuan waved for the taxi to stop.

    Before leaving, Xia Wanyuan asked Lu Li for a phone number. ¡°CEO Xuan will send you home properly. Thank you for today.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan happily. To fans, they were already very happy to see their idol, not to mention that she had intimate contact with her idol!

    Seeing the taxi leave the hospital with Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng nced at Lu Li, who was looking into the distance with admiration. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Where are you staying? I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    Lu Li gave him an address. Xuan Sheng frowned slightly.<i>?It was so far.</i>

    ...

    He opened the car door and Lu Li got in.

    ¡°Put on your seatbelt.¡± Xuan Sheng sat in the driver¡¯s seat. After Xia Wanyuan left, his expression turned cold, and his peach blossom eyes returned to their calm state.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Li turned to look at Xuan Sheng, feeling a little awkward. The rosy light quickly covered her face.

    Xuan Sheng saw her flushed face and disgust shed across his eyes. He had seen too many faces dyed red by his skin. ¡°Put on your seatbelt and let¡¯s go.¡±

    Lu Li clenched her fists nervously, as if she found it difficult to speak. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, where is the seatbelt?¡±

    Speaking of which, it was unbelievable. Lu Li had never taken a small car in her life. The ce where she was born was naturally beautiful. She could just go out with a wooden row. After she went to university, she was busy working and studying. It was impossible for her to take a taxi.

    She had just taken taxis for the first time with Xia Wanyuan previously.

    Xuan Sheng frowned and turned around. He met Lu Li¡¯s clean eyes. The embarrassment on her face did not seem fake.

    Xuan Sheng reached out and walked around Lu Li. With a whoosh, his seatbelt was pulled down and buckled.

    Xuan Sheng had a tea fragrance mixed with the smell of men¡¯s perfume, making Lu Li a little dizzy. She bit her lip and lowered her head. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng ignored her and drove quickly.

    Lu Li, who was sitting at the side, was not used to the speed of the car. Not long after, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly. Her face was pale as she tried her best to suppress the churning in her stomach.

    She was too embarrassed to ask Xuan Sheng to stop the car. After all, he was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s friend and had kindly sent her back. Hence, Lu Li could only bite her lip tightly and suppress the urge to vomit.

    After some time, the car finally stopped under a dormitory building in the city near the suburbs. Xuan Sheng opened the car door. Ignoring the pain in her leg, Lu Li pushed open the door and ran out.

    Puzzlement shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. In the next second, he saw the youngdy squatting on the ground and vomiting. Xuan Sheng pursed his lips. ¡°Hey, take the bag away. I¡¯m leaving.¡± With that, Xuan Sheng started the car.

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes were red from vomiting. She wiped them and walked over to take the bag from the front passenger seat. Her eyes were clear. ¡°Thank you for sending me back. You¡¯re really a good person.¡±

    As she spoke, Lu Li bowed to Xuan Sheng a few times.

    Looking at those clear eyes that were like a stream, Xuan Sheng was stunned<i>. Good person??</i>

    Lu Li carried her bag and waved at Xuan Sheng. ¡°I can go up by myself. Bye.¡± With that, Lu Li picked up a branch from the roadside and used it as a walking stick to limp forward.

    Xuan Sheng retracted his gaze and started the car to leave. Then, he clicked his tongue helplessly.?<i>This youngdy has really never taken a car before. Can¡¯t she even close the car door??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan set off from the hospital. It took half an hour to reach the hotel where Director Charon was staying. When she arrived, the people who came to audition at the entrance of the hotel had already begun to walk back.

    Director Charon had high requirements for the audition and had many standards for the actors¡¯ abilities. Most of them were eliminated before they could even pass the first round. Now, they looked disappointed.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan rush over, everyone exchanged nces and secretly whispered, ¡°The wife of the richest man has a lot of cards. The director still has to wait for her.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, Director Charon isn¡¯t from China. Who knows if she¡¯s the richest person or not? He¡¯ll still throw a tantrum at her. Just watch.¡±

 Chapter 1062 - Princess Audition, An Luo Leaves

    <h4>Chapter 1062: Princess Audition, An Luo Leaves</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had just walked to the door when Su Yueran walked towards her. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯ve already exined to the director for you. The director agreed to stay for a while more and let you go in for the audition.¡±

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and walked in.

    The other actors at the door looked at the time. It was already half an hour since the audition deadline. Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Director Charon was a very punctual person. Simrly, he hated people who wasted time the most. Everyone looked at each other, feeling that Xia Wanyuan would argue with Director Charon this time.

    In the hotel, Director Charon sorted out the audition forms one by one. In the end, he threw away the others¡¯ audition forms and only picked up Su Yueran¡¯s before getting up to leave.

    ¡°Director, there¡¯s still Xia Wanyuan who hasn¡¯t auditioned.¡± The assistant handed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s audition form to Director Charon.

    Looking at that beautiful and refined ID photo, the exaggerated face he had seen in the magazinest night appeared in Director Charon¡¯s mind. Director Charon¡¯s beard trembled. ¡°What¡¯s so good about giving a person who¡¯s not punctual? Hypocritical and exaggerated. I¡¯m not looking!¡±

    ¡°But you just said that you wanted her to audition.¡± The assistant was careful. ¡°Besides, I heard that Xia Wanyuan is the wife of the richest man in China, Jun Shiling. Should we¡­¡±

    ¡°Wife? So hat if she¡¯s his wife? How can a Chinese businessman¡¯s wife put on such airs in front of me?!¡± It was fine if the assistant did not say this, but Director Charon was even angrier.

    After all, Director Charon was closely rted to the presidential family in America. Not to mention the richest man in China, he was not afraid of even China¡¯s leaders.

    Director Charon was furious and waved his hand. ¡°Let her go next door and perform the emotions of sadness and joy without any props.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the director was not blinded by anger. ¡°Then when are you going over?¡±

    ...

    ¡°Go and arrange it.¡± Director Charon waved his hand. The assistant did not dare to ask anything else as he retreated.

    After the assistant left, Director Charon ced Su Yueran¡¯s audition form in his bag and left the room.

    Su Yueran apanied Xia Wanyuan to the audition venue. A blond foreign man walked towards them. When he saw Xia Wanyuan, the assistant¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Hello, you¡¯re Miss Xia Wanyuan, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Hello, everyone has finished their audition. It¡¯s your turn now. The director asked for a performance without any props. There¡¯s a camera in the room beside us. You can just perform facing the camera. The questions are already on the table.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan felt that this audition method was a little strange, she did not think much of it. She took the envelope containing the questions and walked into the room under the guidance of her assistant.

    The room was empty except for a camera in the middle.

    The assistant smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Please.¡±

    The camera shed red. Sensing the figure enter, the countdown began.

    Xia Wanyuan tore open the envelope and looked at the question. After thinking for a moment, she nodded at the assistant. The assistant pushed open the door and walked out, leaving Xia Wanyuan alone to perform.

    Not long after, the door to the room was pushed open and Xia Wanyuan walked out. Her eyes were red and she had a worried aura around her, as if she had just walked out of her sadness.

    The assistant had filmed so many scenes with Director Charon. Even if he was not proficient, he had learned some things from being influenced. His heart ached when he met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes that had yet to dissipate.

    This pain came from the bottom of his heart, unlike the superficial acting skills of the actors who had auditioned just now. Even Su Yueran¡¯s performance could not bring him this heart-wrenching feeling.

    The assistant instinctively felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills should be quite good.

    ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯ll organize the video for our director. Thank you for your participation.¡± There was a genuine smile in the assistant¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan lowered her head slightly and left the audition room.

    ¡°Miss Xia, let¡¯s go together.¡± Su Yueran followed. ¡°How¡¯s that youngdy¡¯s injury? Fortunately, she saved us today. Which hospital is she in? I¡¯ll bring something to visit her tomorrow.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked straight forward, her eyes not on Su Yueran. ¡°No need. She¡¯s not hospitalized and has already left.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Miss Xia, what do you think of the audition results today?¡±

    ¡°So-so,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied perfunctorily, clearly not wanting to talk to Su Yueran anymore.

    Su Yueran knew better and did not ask further, but she still walked side by side with Xia Wanyuan.

    There were already many media outlets squatting outside the door. Seeing Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan walking side by side, they kept taking photos.

    ¡°Miss Xia, are you going back to the production team?¡± Su Yueran stood with Xia Wanyuan in a white coat. Their two faces stunned the entire street. ¡°Let¡¯s go together?¡±

    ¡°No need. I have a car to pick me up. I¡¯m not returning to the production team now.¡± Xia Wanyuan was cold and indifferent. After speaking to Su Yueran, she sat in the car parked by the roadside.

    Outside the window, Su Yueran waved at Xia Wanyuan with a smile. ¡°Bye.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at her and rolled up the car window.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car had already left, and Su Yueran looked even easier to get along with. The reporters, who had been hesitating and did not dare to go forward, surged over.

    ¡°Yueran, did you and Xia Wanyuane for the audition together? Your rtionship is so good.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled faintly. ¡°No, the two of us followed the director¡¯s instructions and came together.¡±

    ¡°How was the audition? Which one of you, or Xia Wanyuan, was chosen by Director Charon?¡±

    Su Yueran tilted her head at the reporters. ¡°Eh? You¡¯re sowing discord ~¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s yful reaction made the reportersugh out loud, instantly closing the distance between her and the reporters.

    At this moment, Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Miss Xia¡¯s acting skills are very good. Even Director Charon¡¯s assistant praised her. However, I think I¡¯m not bad either. As for the final oue, just wait and see. No matter who is chosen, isn¡¯t it a good thing for our Chinese entertainment industry?¡±

    Everyone present had a good impression of Su Yueran. Who did not like to interview people with such high EQ?

    Beijing Airport.

    The group was walking towards the boarding gate. An Lin was pushing his luggage, and An Luo was sitting on it.

    An Lin nced at An Luo¡¯s disappointed expression. ¡°When we reach France, can I give you a yacht?¡±

    Thank you, Brother.¡± An Luo lowered his head and said softly.

    An Lin reached out to touch An Luo¡¯s head. Just as he was about to say something, he saw something from the corner of his eye and suddenly smiled. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be sad. Look to the right.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1063: CEO Jun Handled the White Lotus Beautifully</h4>

    An Luo looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over with a mask on.

    The corners of An Luo¡¯s lips subconsciously curled up, but at the thought of not being too obvious, he could only try his best to suppress the smile. Then, he lowered his head and pretended not to see Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing An Luo¡¯s actions, a smile shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes. He reached out and pinched An Luo¡¯s pink ears. ¡°Alright, An Luo, aren¡¯t you happy that someone is sending you off?¡±

    ¡°An Luo.¡± At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had already walked to his side and called out to him.

    An Luo looked up and coughed. ¡°Why are you here? I didn¡¯t ask you to send me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little amused. An Luo looked a little like Xia Yu at the beginning. She reached out and touched An Luo¡¯s soft golden hair.

    ¡°Hey! What are you doing?! You¡¯re not allowed to touch my hair.¡± An Luo covered his ears with both hands, not letting Xia Wanyuan see his hot red ears.

    Xia Wanyuan handed a bag to An Luo. ¡°This is for you.¡±

    An Luo took it but did not open it immediately. ¡°Brother told me to be polite. Thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Bye, you¡¯re wee toe to China next time.¡±

    Only then did An Luo turn around and look at Xia Wanyuan awkwardly. ¡°Mm, don¡¯t make such unptable dishes next time. Make it delicious. I¡¯m very picky.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted his head. ¡°Bye.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your care and gift, Madam Jun.¡± An Lin nodded.

    ......

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±

    With that, An Lin pushed his luggage and brought An Luo to the boarding gate.

    Xia Wanyuan stood rooted to the ground. Seeing An Luo lean out to look at her from An Lin¡¯s arm, Xia Wanyuan waved at him.

    An Luo blushed in embarrassment. Just as he was about to enter the boarding gate, he finally waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    Finally getting on the ne, An Luo picked up the package in his hand. ¡°Such a big bag. What did she give me?¡±

    He opened the bag. Inside was an especially soft scarf, sweater, and gloves.

    There was a pattern personally embroidered by Xia Wanyuan, as well as his name that she had first written with a brush, before she embroidered it on.

    Looking at these clothes that could be considered custom-made globally, the joy on An Luo¡¯s face was about to overflow.

    A smile appeared in An Lin¡¯s eyes. <i>Xia Wanyuan had indeed used her heart in this gift.</i>

    An Luo¡¯s blue eyes were filled with smiles. He pounced into An Lin¡¯s arms. ¡°Brother, is Xia Wanyuan very good?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Lin smiled and held An Luo¡¯s arm.

    If Xia Wanyuan treated An Luo well, then in his eyes, Xia Wanyuan was very good.

    ¡°Then can wee to China again in the future?¡± An Luo looked at An Lin expectantly.

    ¡°Of course.¡± An Lin was very easy to talk to. ¡°As long as your results in the next semester are perfect, I¡¯ll bring you to China for the Spring Festival in the winter. I heard that the Spring Festival in China is very lively.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Brother, you¡¯re the best.¡± An Luo¡¯s eyes lit up and he could not help but think of the next time he came to China to y.

    The two brothers snuggled together. At this moment, An Luo still did not know that perhaps the next time he came to Beijing, he would no longer have this brother who protected him under his wings and doted on him.

    At the Beijing Hotel, the assistant knocked on Director Charon¡¯s room door.

    ¡°Director, this is the video of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance. Do you want to take a look?¡± The assistant ced the video in front of Director Charon. ¡°She seems to be acting well.¡±

    Director Charon looked at his assistant unhappily. ¡°She performed in an empty house herself. How do you know she acted well? Did you see it?¡±

    ¡°No, I...¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Director Charon did not want to listen anymore. ¡°I don¡¯t care if she gave you money, but don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have money. I¡¯m filming a movie. No matter how rich you are, you can¡¯t stay with me. Contact Su Yueran¡¯s manager and get them to sign the contract.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Director Charon had always been stubborn, so the assistant could not say anything else. He could only put down the video and leave.

    The door was closed. Director Charon picked up the video and threw it into the trash can at the side. ¡°Howughable. Do you think you can be domineering just because you have a little money? Vulgar. How can such a vulgar person be worthy of acting in my movie?¡±

    After leaving the airport, Xia Wanyuan returned to the production team.

    Su Yueran was only a guest character in ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. Her scenes had long beenpleted, but she often sat in the production team to read. In addition, she guided some young actors¡¯ scenes, so the production team weed her to stay here.

    There was a night scene today, so Xia Wanyuan finished her lunch box in the production team and immersed herself in the nervous filming.

    The moon was high in the sky, and everyone in the production team was still busy. Xia Wanyuan was hung on the wires in the air and acted with the actors.

    Although it was winter, because the scene they were filming was a summer scene, everyone else was wearing down jackets. Only Xia Wanyuan was wearing a single shirt. Although there were many warm films stuck inside, they could not stop the bone-chilling cold.

    ¡°Okay! Begin!¡± With the director¡¯s order, Xia Wanyuan waspletely immersed in acting. It was impossible to tell that she was actually filming in the cold winter.

    Su Yueran watched for a while and was about to walk outside to take a breather when she met Jun Shiling.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Su Yueran smiled at Jun Shiling, the light in her eyes gentler than the moonlight.

    Jun Shiling nced at her and continued walking.

    Su Yueran did not look unhappy at all and continued walking out.

    It was winter, and the temperature in Beijing at night was below zero. Someone had sshed a pool of water at the door, and it had already frozen. However, the night was hazy, and no one noticed that the door had frozen.

    Jun Shiling and Su Yueran stepped on the frozen threshold at the same time, and their bodies swayed.

    Jun Shiling quickly grabbed the door frame and dodged to the side to stabilize himself.

    Su Yueran was wearing high heels and could not stabilize herself. Instead, she fell to the side.

    Just inches away from Jun Shiling, she thought that Jun Shiling would support her, but Jun Shiling did not move at all. Su Yueran fell straight onto the threshold.

    However, Jun Shiling did not leave. He looked at Su Yueran at his feet. ¡°Can you stand up on your own? Do you need to call an ambnce?¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s usually calm face finally could not hold it in anymore and she smiled unnaturally. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun. There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s not a serious fall.¡±

    Jun Shiling still reached out to call the director. The director hurriedly ran to the door and was stunned when he saw the situation.

    ¡°Get someone to send thisdy to the hospital. The production team willpensate her.¡± With that, Jun Shiling entered.

    On the ground, Su Yueran, who was so crippled that she could not stand up, lowered her head and clenched her fists on the ice.

 Chapter 1064 - The Princess Cried; Control the Three Armies

    <h4>Chapter 1064: The Princess Cried; Control the Three Armies</h4>

    The director was not Jun Shiling. How could he dare to let Su Yueran lie on the ground like this? He hurriedly went forward and helped Su Yueran up. ¡°Yueran, are you okay? Are you okay? I¡¯ll call the doctor for you.¡±

    Su Yueran shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Director. I just slipped. Go in quickly and don¡¯t dy the filming.¡±

    After the director confirmed with Su Yueran again, he turned around and walked in.

    Behind her, Su Yueran clenched her fists tightly. As she touched the skin, she subconsciously sucked in a cold breath.

    ncing at Jun Shiling¡¯s departing figure, Su Yueran¡¯s expression was calm as she turned to leave.

    In the production team, all the staff were fully cooperating with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scene.

    The female lead of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± did notpletely use Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name. Instead, she turned into Xia Anyi.

    An Yi was the princess title in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous life.

    At this moment, mes soared into the sky and battle intent filled the air.

    The soldiers all over the mountains were charging down the mountain with weapons in their hands.

    ¡°Princess An Yi, you¡¯re thest hope of the Great Xia Dynasty. Please retreat first, in case¡­¡± His subordinate was wearing iron armor, and his clothes were stained with arge amount of dried blood. He choked and could not continue.

    At this moment, they were already in a hopeless situation. The enemy had 30,000 elite soldiers, while they only had 3,000 left. Although everyone said that the number of soldiers was not important, but the quality, in the face of such a huge difference in numbers, the morale of the soldiers below wavered. How could they have any morale?

    Xia Anyi was wearing a general¡¯s clothes and holding a spear as she sat on her horse.

    ......

    Although it was night, the mes on the battlefield illuminated the entire world red. Xia Anyi¡¯s eyes seemed to have fire.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to persuade me anymore.¡± Xia Anyi reached out to stop her subordinate. ¡°The morale of the army is already scattered. If I leave, it¡¯s equivalent to letting you die.¡±

    The sound of the enemy¡¯s horses¡¯ hooves was getting closer and closer. There seemed to be an anxious cry in the wind. Everyone¡¯s faces were very solemn, and some of the soldiers even looked defeated.

    Xia Anyi gripped her spear tightly and shouted into the wind, ¡°Everyone, listen to me! We¡¯re trapped here today. The worst oue is death! Do you want to die?¡±

    The soldiers said in unison, ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± In the silent army, only Xia Anyi¡¯s voice was firm and forceful. ¡°I don¡¯t want to either. Today, all of us will risk it. If we lose, I, Xia Anyi, will apany you to sleep in the mountains and rivers! If we win¡­¡±

    At this point, Xia Anyi¡¯s eyes were as firm as iron. She waved her spear. ¡°If we win, everyone will be divided ording to their contributions. Those who survive and kill their way out will be conferred the title of nobility and enjoy wealth. If you sacrifice yourself here, your descendants will inherit the title andnd!¡±

    In this era a thousand years ago, the difference between nobles and generals and ordinary people was more than heaven and earth.

    Now, Xia Anyi told them that as long as they fought and won, their family would prosper for generations.

    They might never have such an opportunity in their lives on the battlefield!

    Immediately, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. They wanted to live, wealth, and fame!

    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡± Without needing Xia Anyi to say another word, the soldiers¡¯ morale was high, and the wind was filled with everyone¡¯s cold killing intent.

    Xia Anyi nced around in satisfaction. Her face was stained from the battle, and her robe was already tattered. She held the reins and the spear in her hand as she stood at the front of the team. The wind lifted the hair on her forehead, reflecting the fiery red light in her eyes.

    There was relief in her eyes, a hidden worry, the gentleness and attachment of thinking of her siblings at home, and the courage to advance bravely without fear of death.

    At this moment, the entire production team was infected by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance.

    There were clearly no enemy soldiers around, nor was there a moment of life and death struggle. There were only three or four actors beside Xia Wanyuan.

    The other enemy soldiers and her soldiers were only a green curtain. After the post-production special effects werepleted, the soldiers would appear.

    There was clearly nothing, but everyone could truly feel the sorrow and courage of a great enemy. When Xia Wanyuan raised her arms and shouted, everyone felt heroic.

    If they were present, they would be willing to fight until thest moment and gamble with their lives for a chance to live and for a chance topletely bring their family into the open.

    After filming, the director had already shouted for it to end, but Xia Wanyuan still stood on the spot. Her eyes were lowered, hiding the expression on her face in the night.

    Jun Shiling walked over, grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, and brought her away from the filming scene.

    Xia Wanyuan quietly let him bring her away. The moonlight shone faintly on their backs.

    In the car, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and stroked her hairfortingly.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on his shoulder. After a while, Jun Shiling heard a soft sob in his arms. Jun Shiling tightened his grip on her waist.

    ¡°In that battle, I was the only one who came out alive.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sobbing voice sounded.

    This scene was based on her previous life. That time, there was a traitor in their camp. The news of them sending troops was sold, and the reinforcements were cut off. They were in a desperate situation.

    How could 30,000 against 3,000 be so easy? No matter how high their morale was, they could not defeat the elite cavalry.

    In the end, everyone spontaneously used their flesh and blood to kill a way out for Xia Wanyuan.

    One by one, the soldiers died and sent her out, inch by inch.

    In the end, they finally held on until the reinforcements arrived, and the three thousand soldiers were already buried in the mountains and rivers.

    After Xia Wanyuan returned, she fulfilled her promise. She gave thend to the families of the soldiers and inherited it for generations, but the lives of these people would forever stay on that tragic night.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting had always been an immersive performance. During the performance just now, in a daze, she returned to that night and saw those familiar soldiers, those people she had fought alongside.

    Jun Shiling clenched his fists. He could feel Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sorrow, but he was powerless.

    In this era, he could give Xia Wanyuan everything she wanted.

    However, he and the Xia Wanyuan of her previous life had crossed nearly a thousand years. That was a chasm he could not cross.

    At this moment, it was useless to say anything. Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter and let her spread her emotions in his arms.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sadnesssted the entire night until the next morning.

    ¡°Mommy, this is for you.¡± After breakfast, Xiao Bao mysteriously handed a small wooden box to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened it. It was a painting drawn by Xiao Bao. There was brilliant sunlight, a beautiful starry sky, beautiful roses, a cute panda, and a photo of their family.

    The painting said, ¡°I hope Mommy will always be happy. We all love you very much.¡±

    A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. She patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bao.¡±

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was happier, Xiao Bao was also much happier. He chuckled. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m going to school!¡±

    Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to the set. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up in the afternoon.¡± If Xia Wanyuan acted in this movie, she would easily fall into the emotions of the scene. He was worried.

    Xia Wanyuan acknowledged and entered the filming base.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan entered the base, a limping figure walked over from the film studio not far away.

    ¡°It should be here. Why can¡¯t I find it?¡± Lu Li looked at the address in her hand again.

    After submitting her resume for so many days, she finally received a response. It was from a filmpany. They said that they were willing to let her try out a running job and the treatment thepany gave was quite good.

    After many twists and turns, Lu Li finally found the correctpany location. However, looking at the beautiful building in front of her, Lu Li felt a little guilty.<i>?Such a beautiful renovation. Don¡¯t tell me you think I don¡¯t know how to dress up and don¡¯t want me?</i>

    ¡°Hello, hello. You must be Lu Li.¡± She was wandering around the door when a kind-looking middle-aged woman came out. She looked a little like Auntie Liu, who lived next door to Grandma. Lu Li immediately rxed.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here for an interview.¡± Lu Li smiled at the middle-aged woman. It was as sweet as a pear filled with juice.

    Seeing her smile, the middle-aged woman¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Come,e in with me. Let¡¯s talk inside.¡±

    Half an hourter, the middle-aged woman enthusiastically announced to Lu Li, ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve been epted as an official employee of ourpany. This is the contract agreement. Take a look first.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Finally finding her first job after graduation, Lu Li was so happy that she did not even care about her leg injury and almost jumped up in the office. She casually flipped through the contract. ¡°Where do I sign? Here?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The middle-aged woman handed over the pen and flipped to thest page of the contract. ¡°Here, just sign it. The treatment will only be good and not bad.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Li did not suspect anything and signed happily.

    Seeing that the signing process waspleted, the middle-aged woman took the contract away. ¡°Due to the fact that you¡¯re a university student who has just graduated, thepany has a two-month training period. The fees during the training period will be borne by the individual. Go to the finance department and pay the training fees now. A total of ten thousand yuan for two months of food and amodation. When you officially enter thepany, the money will be refunded to you.¡±

    Lu Li was stunned. ¡°Why is there a training period? You didn¡¯t say anything just now?¡±

    The middle-aged woman crossed her arms in front of her chest. ¡°Whichpany doesn¡¯t have a training period? It¡¯s already very good that ourpany refunds your training fees after you joined. Go and ask otherpanies. Who will refund your training fees?¡±

    Looking at the middle-aged woman¡¯s angry expression, Lu Li bit her lip.

    <i>This person was not like Auntie Liu, who lived next door to my grandmother. Auntie Liu would not be so fierce.</i>

 Chapter 1065 - Princess Saving the World

    <h4>Chapter 1065: Princess Saving the World</h4>

    Lu Li regretted it a little. She only had ten thousand yuan in her hand. If she paid the training fee, she would not have any money left. Even the rent would be a problem.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want this job anymore.¡±

    The middle-aged woman seemed to have expected this. After all, Lu Li was wearing jeans that had been washed until they were white. It was obvious that she had no money.

    ¡°You don¡¯t want it? Sure, pay a hundred thousand yuan for the breach of contract.¡±

    ¡°A hundred thousand?!¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Why?¡±

    The middle-aged woman smiled and opened the contract in her hand. She flipped through a few pages and handed it to Lu Li. ¡°Because you signed the contract in ck and white. If you break the contract, you willpensate thepany 100,000 yuan.¡±

    Lu Li finally understood that she had been deceived.<i>?Thispany was simply a scam.</i>

    Seeing Lu Li¡¯s disbelief, the middle-aged woman took the other contract smugly. ¡°Go and pay the training fee. During the training period, you have to follow all thepany¡¯s arrangements. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be dealt with ording to the default.¡±

    Only then did Lu Li look at the contract in her hand seriously.

    It said, ¡°During the training period, employees have to experience the live broadcast in depth to obtain relevant operating experience. The ie will belong to thepany.¡±

    <i>Wasn¡¯t that a free streamer?</i>?Lu Li¡¯s heart turned cold.<i>?I signed a ve contract.?</i>

    ¡°Alright, go and pay.¡± The middle-aged woman had seen too many girls who had just graduated from university. She did not have any pity for Lu Li now. She directly carried Lu Li to pay the training fee.

    When Lu Li walked out of thepany, the employees only looked at her nkly and then buried themselves in their work.

    ......

    Lu Li hated herself for not taking a good look at the contract. As she walked, her eyes were filled with tears.

    She had never encountered such a situation in her life.

    The people in the vige were very kind. They did not scheme against each other and doted on her very much. When she arrived at school, the teachers and ssmates took care of her.

    She did not understand why these people sat in such a morous house and lived such a dignified life, but they had to rely on deception to earn money.

    With only thest five yuan in her pocket, Lu Li limped along. She was so happy after receiving the resume that she came over without eating breakfast. Now, her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

    After deducting the bus fare, the remaining five yuan was at most enough to buy two buns.

    Lu Li limped onto the bus and bought two buns to bring home. However, just as she opened the door, arge amount of water dripped down from the ceiling like a water curtain hole.

    There was a leak upstairs. She did not know how long it had been leaking, but the small house she had rented had already been flooded. The bedsheets, bedding, clothes, and shoes were all wet.

    Theputer not far away was also covered in water. Lu Li was in a hurry to look at theputer and her alreadyme leg identally tilted.

    She fell into the dirty water.

    Lu Li stood up from the water with red eyes. She missed her grandparents so much.

    Looking at the mess around her, Lu Li could not help but cry. She sat on the wet nket and cried for half an hour. Lu Li wiped her tears. She had to clean up the mess first.

    She stood up and went upstairs to knock on the door of the tenant who had a water leak. A burly man walked out. ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Your house is leaking.¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes were red.

    ¡°I know. Am I not waiting for someone to fix it? Get lost.¡± The burly man closed the door and left Lu Li outside.

    Lu Li took a deep breath. When she went downstairs and returned home, the two buns were already soaked in water.

    There was nothing else to eat now, so Lu Li could only take the bun and wring out the water inside before walking to the corridor outside the door to eat.

    Just as she was worrying about how to sleep at night, a call came in.

    ¡°Hello, this is Lu Li.¡± Although she was extremely disappointed, Lu Li still sounded happy when she picked up the phone.

    Her grandfather had told her not to vent her negative emotions on others no matter what.

    ¡°I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan. Send me an address. I have something to tell you.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s light voice came from the phone.

 Chapter 1066 - The Princess is a Little Fairy ~

    <h4>Chapter 1066: The Princess is a Little Fairy ~</h4>

    ¡°Sister¡­ Fairy?¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡±

    ¡°Where do you live?¡± Xia Wanyuan was very direct.

    ¡°I¡­¡± Before Lu Li could react, she had already told Xia Wanyuan her address.

    By the time she realized that her house was so messy and she could not receive guests, Xia Wanyuan had already hung up.

    Lu Li hurriedly stuffed the bun into her mouth and cleaned it up. However, no matter how she swept the water on the ground, the water droplets did not stop. She could not do anything. Lu Li was panting from exhaustion and sat on a chair with water stains to rest.

    There was a sudden knock on the door. Lu Li rushed over to open the door, but it brought with it water that fell beside Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful shoes were stained with so much dirty water, Lu Li¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. There¡¯s a leak upstairs. I¡¯m not done cleaning up.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood at the door with a pile of gifts. She looked at the situation in the house and then at Lu Li¡¯s leg. ¡°You live here?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li blushed in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry to let you see me in such a sorry state.¡±

    ¡°Bring your bag and follow me.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Li looked up, her big eyes filled with confusion.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I have something to tell you.¡± Xia Wanyuan supported Lu Li. Lu Li felt that she was too dirty and did not want to touch Xia Wanyuan. She hurriedly jumped over and reached for her bag, then followed Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan turned on the heater in the car.

    ......

    Lu Li said carefully, ¡°Fairy Sister.¡±

    ¡°Just call me Sister Xia.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li tried her best to sit up straight and not let her clothes stain the seat. ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°To the hotel.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan drove quickly. Not long after, the car arrived at the hotel under the Jun Corporation. Xia Wanyuan helped Lu Li into the hotel. The hotel management knew Xia Wanyuan and immediately booked a presidential suite for her.

    Sitting in a luxurious suite that she had never seen before, Lu Li was a little uneasy.

    ¡°I called the doctor. He¡¯lle overter to treat your wound. Stay here for the next few days.¡± Xia Wanyuan got the hotel to send a few sets of clean clothes. ¡°Let the hotel help you take a shower first. You¡¯re wet.¡±

    ¡°No need, Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li hurriedly waved her hand. ¡°How can I live here? I can¡¯t trouble you.¡±

    ¡°Your leg was injured because of me. You don¡¯t have to feel burdened.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved for the hotel staff toe over. ¡°Help her take a shower. Her leg is injured.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Madam.¡±

    Lu Li could not resist even if she wanted to. She could only let the staff help her into the bathroom.

    After taking a shower, Shen Xiu came over and bandaged her wound again.

    ¡°I still have something on. I¡¯lle and see you tonight.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Lu Li. ¡°Rest first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan with sparkling eyes.

    After Xia Wanyuan and Shen Xiu left, Lu Li buried herself in the soft nket. She could not believe that this was true. She picked up her phone and called her grandparents.

    ¡°Grandma, I met a super good person today!!!¡±

    Lu Li did not mention anything about being cheated and the house being flooded. She only said that she had met an especially kind person.

    Her grandparents were also very happy and kept reminding her to thank him. ¡°When our peaches and plums are ripe in two days, bring some back for the kind-hearted person. Also, give some of your favorite bacon and sausages to the kind-hearted person.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Grandpa, Grandma, take care of yourself.¡± Hearing her grandparents¡¯ voices, Lu Li felt wronged. Her eyes turned red, but her voice was still filled with smiles.

    After the call, Lu Li quickly fell asleep under the soft nket.

    At this moment, a man in a ck coat was also staying in the suite next door. Lu Li was weaving a sweet dream here.

    The man in the suite next door drank ss after ss of red wine on the table.

 Chapter 1067 - Seduction

    <h4>Chapter 1067: Seduction</h4>

    There were already two empty wine bottles on the table, but Xuan Sheng¡¯s thoughts were still very clear. He had been trained to drink since he was young and could be said to be invincible. He had no chance of getting drunk.

    Over the past few days, thepany he had established had already begun to show its might. Father Xuan and Xuan Li could not sit still anymore and began to use all sorts of methods to restrain him.

    However, his business ability was extremely strong to begin with. How could those two people be his match? Since they could not sh head-on, they began to poke Xuan Sheng with soft knives.

    Others did not know what Xuan Sheng had experienced, but Father Xuan knew very well.

    He gathered photos of Xuan Sheng being forced by his mother to smile in the bar when he was young and sent them to Xuan Sheng¡¯s email one by one.

    Over the past few days, Xuan Sheng had listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s suggestion. He ate regrly and slept well. Those frustrated emotions seemed to have been buried under his calm emotions, as if they hadpletely disappeared.

    However, the photos sent by Father Xuan were like a spiked hook that slowly pulled out Xuan Sheng¡¯s frustrated emotions. It even pierced him until he was badly mutted.

    Xuan Sheng seemed to have fallen into a huge swamp. His mouth, nose, and eyes were filled with mud. He wanted to shout, but he could not. He could only let himself sink deeper and deeper into the swamp.

    Xuan Sheng did not know how much he had drunk from day to night, but his thoughts were still very clear and even a little excited.

    Outside the door, the elevator opened and Xia Wanyuan walked towards Lu Li¡¯s room.

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li jumped down from the bed like a brisk deer, agile and happy.

    Looking at Lu Li, Xia Wanyuan felt inexplicably good. She smiled and ced a food box in front of Lu Li. ¡°I brought you food. I made it at home. Eat.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li took the food box and opened it. She almost fainted from the fragrance.

    ¡°You can¡¯t live in that house of yours anymore. Stay here for the time being. You can move out when you find a new house.¡±

    ¡°No need, Sister Xia. This ce is so expensive.¡± Although Lu Li did not know how expensive it was, looking at the renovation design inside, Lu Li felt that it would definitely not be cheap. She could not afford to live here.

    PLease reading on Mybo x n o ve l.

    ¡°You saved me. Take this as a thank-you gift.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt a little ufortable when she thought of Lu Li¡¯s appearance in the dirty water just now. This youngdy who had just graduated was still quite pitiful.

    Xia Wanyuan spoke with an unquestionable aura. Lu Li was a little timid, and her ears were red. ¡°Thank you, Sister Xia.¡±

    ¡°Have you found a job?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked again.

    ¡°Mm!¡± Lu Li nodded. She had already troubled Xia Wanyuan so much. She could not let Xia Wanyuan worry about her work anymore. ¡°I¡¯ve already found a job. Thank you for your concern, Sister Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ced the supplements in her hand on the table. ¡°Then eat first. I¡¯m leaving.¡±

    ¡°Okay! Sister Xia, I¡¯ll send you!¡± Lu Li swallowed her saliva, but she still put down the food box and followed Xia Wanyuan out.

    Her grandfather had taught her since she was young to send guests out the door. This was etiquette.

    ¡°Goodbye, Sister Xia.¡± After sending Xia Wanyuan to the elevator, Lu Li waved at her.

    ¡°Bye, I¡¯ll visit you tomorrow.¡±

    When the elevator door closed, Lu Li jumped into the suite happily.?<i>It was time to eat! The food just now smelled so good.</i>

    However, unexpectedly, the door of the suite next door suddenly opened. Lu Li bumped into the person who came out.

    Lu Li¡¯s nose was sharp. Although the person in front of her smelled of alcohol, she could still smell that familiar perfume.

    The person in front of her seemed to hate others approaching and quickly took a step back. Lu Li looked up and saw a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± In this huge capital, Lu Li was very happy to meet someone she knew. Her eyes lit up.

    Xuan Sheng frowned. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sending Sister Xia away. She asked me to stay here.¡± Lu Li was unguarded against people she knew. She answered whatever Xuan Sheng asked.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan just left?¡± Xuan Sheng, whose heart was filled with frustration, felt a breeze blow into his chaotic thoughts when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name.

    ]¡±Mm.¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes were filled with obvious joy. ¡°She said she would visit me again tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered. He nced at Lu Li. His amorous peach blossom eyes were very bewitching when he looked down at her. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°My name is Lu Li. Lu for deer and Li for pear.¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled slightly. The ck diamond earrings shone charmingly under the light. Lu Li had never seen such a smile before. She could not help but be stunned for a moment.

    ¡°My name is Xuan Sheng. I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan¡¯s friend. When is sheing over tomorrow? Can you tell me?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded.

    ¡°Then leave your WeChat.¡±

    Lu Li took out her phone and was about to hand it to Xuan Sheng, but Xuan Sheng did not take it directly. Instead, he took a step forward, lowered his head, held the back of Lu Li¡¯s hand, and entered his WeChat on her phone.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand was very hot, so hot that Lu Li was at a loss. The smell of alcohol and perfume on him was not unpleasant. Instead, it was inexplicably charming. Lu Li subconsciously blushed.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. As he typed on WeChat, he looked up and smiled at Lu Li. ¡°Thank you. If shees, let me know.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes were typical peach blossom eyes. When he did not smile, he looked very cold. When he smiled, his eyes were filled with love, as if he could only see you in his entire world.

    .

    Lu Li turned her head to the side in embarrassment. Her cheeks werepletely red, and she hummed incoherently. Then, she retracted her phone and limped back to her room.

    Closing the door, Lu Li felt a little strange. She touched her heart. ¡°Why is it beating so fast?¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The matter of Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran going to audition for Director Charon¡¯s new drama quickly became hot news for theizens. Last time, because of An Rao, their rtionship had already been curious by theizens. Now that they saw the two of them going to the audition together, many fans apuded.

    [I¡¯m happy. The goddess and goddess went to the audition together. I¡¯m just a little curious who will be chosen this time. That¡¯s Director Charon¡¯s movie. Many people dream of it.]

    [I guess it¡¯s Xia Wanyuan. After all, her acting skills are good and she has her own capital.]

    [Su Yueran¡¯s acting skills are good too. Furthermore, Su Yueran¡¯s family doesn¡¯tck money. Her background isn¡¯t bad either.]

    Just as everyone was discussing, a media suddenly revealed the news to the public.

    ¡°I heard that Xia Wanyuan was chosen by Director Charon. Director Charon praised her greatly.¡±

    Upon hearing this news, the fans cheered. The other media also released news based on this news. Instantly, the news that Xia Wanyuan had been chosen as the female lead of Director Charon¡¯s new drama spread throughout Weibo.

 Chapter 1068 - Chosen; Hot Debate on the Internet

    <h4>Chapter 1068: Chosen; Hot Debate on the Inte</h4>

    The fans were overjoyed, but the fans of the other families kept quiet.

    After all, almost half of the female celebrities in the entertainment industry had gone for the audition this time. Now that Xia Wanyuan had been chosen, the others were naturally unhappy.

    [Hehe, the wife of the richest man. Amazing. Congrattions.]

    [The person in front, don¡¯t be sarcastic. Even if Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t the wife of the richest man, her strength is enough for her to get this audition qualification.]

    [ Tsk tsk, you make it sound as if Su Yueran doesn¡¯t have the strength. She also has a background, but she¡¯s not as high-profile as Xia Wanyuan, afraid that others don¡¯t know that she¡¯s the wife of the richest man. ]

    Xia Wanyuan had many fans, but in the entire entertainment industry, there were also many other fans. Everyone was a little unhappy that their idol did not seed in the audition. Her words were sarcastic, making Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans extremely angry.

    Just as everyone was arguing online, Director Charon and the rest were walking out of the Beijing Hotel with their luggage.

    They hade to choose suitable actors. Now that the actors had been chosen, there was no need to stay in China.

    Director Charon walked at the front. The chauffeur had already opened the door for him and he had already stepped into the car. A reporter with a microphone appeared from nowhere. ¡°Hello, Director Charon! I¡¯m a reporter from China Film and Television. Can I ask you a few questions? It¡¯s just a few minutes.¡±

    ¡°Move, we don¡¯t ept interviews!¡± At this moment, the bodyguard behind him walked forward and stopped the reporter.

    Director Charon frowned unhappily and got into the car.

    Seeing that the car door was about to be closed, the reporter shouted, ¡°China¡¯s social media is spreading that you¡¯re quite satisfied with Xia Wanyuan. Is it true that you¡¯ll invite her to be the female supporting role in your new movie?¡±

    The door that was about to close was suddenly pushed open by Director Charon.

    ......

    His face was filled with displeasure, and his brows were furrowed into a frown. He was the undisputed king of the movie industry, so his words were naturally very arrogant. ¡°How can a rude person like Xia Wanyuan with no acting skills be worthy of acting in my movie?¡±

    ¡°Then do you mean that Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t receive your invitation?¡± The reporter¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

    ¡°I¡¯ll never let her appear in my movie,¡± Director Charon said and closed the car door.

    The bodyguards also retreated. The reporter picked up the camera and checked for a long time. After confirming that Director Charon¡¯s words had been recorded, he was relieved and made a call. His face was filled with smugness. ¡°I¡¯m really going to be rich this time.¡±

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi, Zou Many on Jiang Kui¡¯s bed and smiled. ¡°Is it done?¡±

    The reporter nodded repeatedly. ¡°It¡¯s done! You¡¯re right. Director Charon was especially angry when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name. The news on the Inte that Xia Wanyuan was chosen was fake. Director Charon even said that Xia Wanyuan would never appear in his movie.¡±

    ¡°Okay, half of the money has been transferred to your bank card. Send me the video and the other half will be transferred.¡±

    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll find a ce to send it to you now.¡±

    Not long after, Zou Man received a video from the reporter on her phone. Seeing how angry Director Charon was in the video, the corners of Zou Man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She made a call. ¡°Continue to publicize the fact that Xia Wanyuan has been chosen by Director Charon. The more widely it spreads, the better.¡±

    After doing this, Zou Man threw her phone aside and touched her stomach, her eyes filled with smugness. ¡°Baby, whether Mommy can sessfully enter the Jiang family depends on you.¡±

    On the Inte, more and more media began to publicize that Xia Wanyuan had been chosen by Director Carlon. Everyone evenbeled her as the ¡°Light of the Chinese¡±. After all, she was the first person to y an important role in an international movie of this level.

    ¡°Why do I feel that this trend is wrong?¡± Chen Yun had been paying attention to news rted to Xia Wanyuan online. They had not received any news of a contract, but these people on the Inte said it as if it was true.

    This was tant ttery. If Xia Wanyuan was not chosen, the bacsh from theizens would be very serious.

    Chen Yun hurriedly contacted the public rtions team and got them to rify online. However, strangely, the poprity of their rification was suppressed, and only a few people saw their rification.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At the Jun Corporation Hotel, after learning that Lu Li worked in apany beside the film studio base, Xia Wanyuan prepared to bring her along.

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li stood at the entrance of the hotel and waved at Xia Wanyuan. Xuan Sheng stood beside her with a gloomy expression.

    ¡°Get in.¡± Xia Wanyuan gestured for Lu Li to get in.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled at Xia Wanyuan, and his dim eyes lit up.

    Even if Xia Wanyuan did nothing and just stood there quietly, one could draw strength from her.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, why are you standing here?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I saw that this little girl¡¯s legs are inconvenient, so I sent her down.¡± Xuan Sheng touched the prayer beads on his wrist. ¡°Are you still sending her back tonight?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait here tonight. Her leg is so injured, I can help.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes flickering.

    Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment before looking straight at Xuan Sheng. There was a smile in his eyes. In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion, this smile was as fragile as ayer of ss that would shatter with a touch. ¡°CEO Xuan, Lu Li is an innocent youngdy.¡±

    What she meant was, <i>don¡¯t use her. </i>

    .

    Someone as smart as Xia Wanyuan could tell what Xuan Sheng was thinking.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and the fragile smile in his eyes disappeared. He looked much more dispirited. ¡°If only you weren¡¯t so smart.¡±

    Lu Li sat in the back of the car,pletely unaware of what had happened. She did not quite understand what Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng had said and could only listen quietly.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xuan Sheng shrugged slightly. ¡°You guys can leave. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything you don¡¯t want me to do. If I have nothing on tonight, I¡¯lle here to pick her up.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Only then did Xia Wanyuan start the car and leave.

    Behind her, Xuan Sheng stood quietly. The smile on his face disappeared. He did not want much. He only wanted to see her and speak to her.

    Lu Li sat in the car and subconsciously looked back. Through the car window, Xuan Sheng¡¯s figure became thinner. Lu Li felt a little ufortable. She felt that Xuan Sheng seemed a little pitiful.

    Xia Wanyuan arrived at the production team and had just entered the base. Every time she met someone, everyone congratted her enthusiastically.

    ¡°Congrattions, I heard that you¡¯ve chosen Director Charon¡¯s new movie.¡±

    ¡°Amazing, it¡¯s all over the Inte. Director Charon thinks highly of you. Sister Xia, you¡¯re indeed the best.¡±

 Chapter 1069 - Youâ€™re Fierce

    <h4>Chapter 1069: You¡¯re Fierce</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had rarely cared about this. It was only now that she knew that there was so much news online. ¡°The news online is not true. The audition results are not out yet.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, you¡¯re too humble.¡± The staff teased Xia Wanyuan with a smile. ¡°Your acting skills are so good. It would be strange if the director didn¡¯t choose you. You¡¯re the pride of China. When the timees, you must show off your acting skills in front of the foreigners and let them know that China has many good actors.¡±

    The staff were too enthusiastic. Xia Wanyuan could not exin to them, so she gave up and focused on filming.

    ¡ª¡ª

    When Lu Li arrived at thepany, she received a morning of training with a group of young and beautiful girls. The training content was mainly to tell them how to be a streamer who could attract fans to send gifts.

    Lu Li felt that there was something wrong with what they were taught, but she did not dare to say it.

    At noon, it was time for lunch. Seeing that everyone was walking out, Lu Li was a little puzzled. ¡°Didn¡¯t we pay the training fee? Didn¡¯t they say that they would be in charge of the food?¡±

    A youngdy who was training with her looked at her mockingly. ¡°What are you thinking? They¡¯re not even willing to give us a sip of water. How is it possible they¡¯ll be in charge of food?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± After training for the entire morning, Lu Li was already hungry. Now that there was no food, she could only take out the steamed bun she had bought yesterday. The soaked steamed bun was wrinkled, but it was still food.

    Lu Li was not picky. She sat in her seat and slowly ate.

    To her, it was already not bad to have steamed buns to eat. After all, in their vige, it was not easy to eat such white steamed buns.

    However, in the eyes of others, that was not the case. The people who worked in thispany had seen many different people and were used to looking at the dishes. Everyone noticed Lu Li, who was eating steamed buns at the side. Looking at her clothes, everyone gave each other a look.

    Today¡¯s filming ended early, so Xia Wanyuan went to Lu Li¡¯spany in advance.

    ......

    Parking the car by the roadside, Xia Wanyuan sent Jun Shiling a WeChat message.

    When Jun Shiling was not busy, he would always send Xia Wanyuan a message first. Sometimes it was a sentence, sometimes it was an emoticon. When Xia Wanyuan saw it, she knew that Jun Shiling was not busy now.

    Jun:<i>?You didn¡¯t let me pick you up today</i>.

    Xia:?<i>I¡¯m bringing the little girl to the hotel. Why do you want toe??</i>

    Jun:?<i>Why can¡¯t Ie??</i>

    .

    Xia:?<i>You¡¯re fierce, the youngdy will be afraid of you.</i>

    Jun:?<i>¡­</i>

    A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. Just as she was about to continue sending messages, she looked up and her gaze froze.

    Lu Li¡¯spany waspletely transparent, so she could clearly see the scene inside.

    Now, Lu Li was carrying a pile of documents that were even taller than her. The middle-aged woman walking in front even patted Lu Li¡¯s head from time to time, looking like she was saying something very seriously.

    Even from so far away, she could feel Lu Li¡¯s grievance. Xia Wanyuan put away her phone and got out of the car.

    ¡°Are you a pig! What use do you have?!¡± The supervisor pinched Lu Li¡¯s arm unhappily. ¡°You¡¯re so stupid. Don¡¯t participate in the training tomorrow. Tomorrow, go straight to the live-stream and let the audience send you gifts. If the gift amount tomorrow doesn¡¯t reach 50,000, see how I deal with you.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how to broadcast. I don¡¯t want to go.¡± Lu Li had been here for a day and knew that although this looked like a legitimate filmpany, it was actually on the border of the live-stream industry. Many streamers under them wore very few clothes to attract the audience to send gifts.

    ¡°Hey, do you remember the contract you signed? Stop ying the pitiful game with me.¡± The middle-aged manager looked at her in disdain. ¡°You don¡¯t want to broadcast? If you don¡¯t want to broadcast, then pay me the penalty fee now. After that, go wherever you want.¡±

 Chapter 1070 - Little Daily Life

    <h4>Chapter 1070: Little Daily Life</h4>

    How could Lu Li have 100,000 yuan topensate thispany? She lowered her head aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

    ¡°How much does she owe you?¡± A cold female voice suddenly sounded from behind.

    Everyone here knew Xia Wanyuan. Everyone was a little surprised to see her suddenly appear.

    Especially the middle-aged supervisor in front of Lu Li. She looked at Xia Wanyuan and then at Lu Li. ¡°Mrs. Jun, do you know Lu Li?¡±

    At that moment, Lu Li turned around. The corners of her eyes were still red. ¡°Sister Xia.¡±

    The supervisor¡¯s expression changed instantly. She retracted her hand from Lu Li¡¯s arm. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this is all a misunderstanding.¡±

    Everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife. If they offended her, how could they continue living in Beijing? The supervisor¡¯s heart sank and he smiled carefully. ¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding.¡±

    ¡°She owes you money?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked again.

    ¡°No, no. She gave wrongly. We can return the money to her now. It¡¯s a mistake.¡± The supervisor hurriedly took the thing from Lu Li¡¯s arms and signaled his subordinate with his eyes. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to return the money to Miss Lu?!¡±

    Looking at the manager¡¯s instantly changed attitude, Lu Li was stunned.<i>?She was clearly very fierce just now. Why did she be like this when Xia Wanyuan arrived?</i>

    It was only when she had ten thousand yuan in her hand and the ten thousand yuan thepany hadpensated her with, and she followed Xia Wanyuan out of thepany that Lu Li truly believed that her world had lit up again!

    <i>I had gotten my money back! There was even an additional ten thousand yuan. I could stop eating steamed buns!</i>

    ¡°Sister Xia, you¡¯re the best. You¡¯re really a fairy, right?¡± Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan with sparkling eyes. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would still be training on an empty stomach.

    ......

    ¡°They saw that you were innocent and tricked you into training here.¡± Xia Wanyuan opened the car door and let Lu Li in.

    Lu Li nodded. ¡°Sister Xia, I didn¡¯t know at first, but I found outter.¡±

    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you leave? Why did you let them bully you?¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s big eyes were clean. ¡°But I¡¯ve paid the money. I thought that since the money had already been cheated, it was better to learn something here. I¡¯m not familiar with many things in Beijing. Although they bully me, they will teach me some things.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was holding the steering wheel paused. She looked at Lu Li in surprise. She had thought that Lu Li was innocent, but she did not expect Lu Li to be more transparent than she had imagined.

    This youngdy was only innocent, but she was not stupid at all.

    ¡°You really want a job?¡± Looking at Lu Li¡¯s innocent eyes, Xia Wanyuan asked.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded. With a job, she would have money. With money, she could build a new house for her grandparents and they would not have to farm anymore.

    ¡°Then be my manager.¡± Xia Wanyuan started the car.

    ¡°Huh?!¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile in surprise. ¡°How do I do that well? Sister Xia, I can¡¯t take advantage of you.¡±

    Lu Li knew her own capabilities. Although she did not know much about the entertainment industry, she knew how popr Xia Wanyuan was. She was afraid that she would mess things up if such a popr person asked her to be a manager.

    ¡°You did well.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked very confident. ¡°My former manager is married, so I only have one manager by my side now. He can¡¯t handle it, so just treat it as helping me.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, Lu Li hesitated. ¡°Sister Xia.¡±

    ¡°I believe you can do it well. Don¡¯t you believe in yourself?¡± Coincidentally, there was a red light. Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked at Lu Li.

    Lu Li bit her lip. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes had the power to stir one¡¯s heart. Lu Li nodded. ¡°Sister Xia, I definitely won¡¯t let you down.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sent Lu Li to the entrance of the hotel. Xuan Sheng was standing at the door in a ck coat. His hair was a little messy from the wind, and he looked like he had been standing in the cold wind for a long time.

    Lu Li nced at him and turned around. ¡°Sister Xia, I keep feeling that CEO Xuan looks very pitiful.¡±

    There was something else that Lu Li did not dare to say. Furthermore, she felt that Xuan Sheng looked so sad, especially when he looked at Xia Wanyuan. There was a sadness about not being able to get it in it.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped the car. ¡°Stay in the car now. I want to talk to him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded obediently.

    Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and Xuan Sheng forced a smile at her. He was still flirtatious, but the unruly look he had when she first saw Xuan Sheng had disappeared.

    ¡°I thought you were going to leave directly.¡± After standing at the door for a long time, Xuan Sheng flexed his wrist and touched the prayer beads on it.

    ¡°The Xia Corporation will give you the green light,¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xuan Sheng and said.

    ording to what she knew, thepany Xuan Sheng had established was in a key game with Glory World Corporation. Xuan Sheng¡¯spany needed a lot of investment and market.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Tsk, can you not be so good? There¡¯s no reason for me to dislike you like this.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go in.¡± Xia Wanyuan ignored Xuan Sheng¡¯s affectionate gaze. ¡°Lu Li will be living here recently. Please help me take care of her more. She doesn¡¯t understand many things.¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve already spoken. How can I not take care of her?¡± With that, Xuan Sheng hooked his finger at the car. ¡°She¡¯s out, little girl.¡±

    Lu Li got out of the car and waved at Xia Wanyuan, then followed Xuan Sheng in.

    Xia Wanyuan got into the car and remembered that she had been busy with Lu Li and had forgotten to reply to Jun Shiling.

    She took her phone and saw that there were indeed two missed calls from Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan called and Jun Shiling only said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When they returned to the manor, Shen Xiu was also there. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression looked a little unnatural.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you sick?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan over. ¡°No, I remember that we haven¡¯t had a physical examination in a long time. I called Shen Xiu over for a checkup today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling too well. One look at his expression and she knew that it was definitely not that simple. However, Xia Wanyuan did not ask further. She nodded and was very cooperative.

    Shen Xiu drew their blood and left the manor.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Tell me, tell me honestly. Why did you ask Shen Xiu toe and check?¡±

    Jun Shiling pursed his thin lips and was silent for a moment. ¡°I wanted to get Shen Xiu to investigate why we haven¡¯t gotten pregnant again after so long.¡±

    As soon as Jun Shiling finished speaking, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. Seeing Xia Wanyuan smile, Jun Shiling was a little angry. He covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to smile.¡±

    Although her eyes were covered, the dimples on her face could not be covered. ¡°CEO Jun, who said that he didn¡¯t want a second childst time?¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out and carried Xia Wanyuan upstairs. ¡°I can have a second child, but I don¡¯t want a son.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan chuckled. ¡°If Xiao Bao hears you, he¡¯ll definitely mess with you.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already sent him to Grandpa¡¯s house. He can¡¯t hear me,¡± Jun Shiling said calmly, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°Bad Daddy.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at her deeply.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, my good daughter.¡± Jun Shiling continued walking leisurely, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before reacting. She pinched Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more indecent.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and epted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s evaluation very calmly.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The night gradually darkened. A video suddenly appeared on Weibo, which had been quiet for the entire day. Then, the entire Inte surged.

    The video came from a small entertainment website.

    In the video, Director Charon looked disdainful. ¡°Is Xia Wanyuan worthy of acting in my movie? I can never let Xia Wanyuan appear in my movie.¡±

    [ Uh¡­ The trending topic of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Chinese Light has yet to be released from the trending list. This p to the face came too quickly. It¡¯s so awkward. What should I do? I feel awkward for Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [So, Xia Wanyuan wasn¡¯t chosen for Director Charon¡¯s new movie at all? Then why have you been bragging so enthusiastically these few days? You make it sound like it¡¯s real. I thought she was chosen.]

    [ Are you crazy? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio has long rified that you were the ones who gave her a lot of titles here and praised her. Now, why are you scolding Xia Wanyuan? ]

    The argument about the video was not over. Soon, Director Charon posted a message on his official Weibo ount in China.

    @ Charon: ¡°Wee, Little Angel of the East @ Su Yueran, to my new movie, ¡®God of the Universe¡¯. I look forward to our cooperation colliding with different sparks.¡±

    [How awkward. So Su Yueran was chosen? Congrattions, Su Yueran. As expected of the Best Actress. She¡¯s indeed amazing.]

    [Wow, she deserves it. Su Yueran is indeed the leader of the Chinese entertainment industry. She really worked hard for us this time.]

    With Xia Wanyuan attracting arge wave of firepower in front, now that the real candidate had been announced, everyone was not as agitated as before. Thements were mostly filled with praise and encouragement.

    Looking at the scene on the Inte, the corners of Zou Man¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Xia Wanyuan? I really want to see her fall from grace.¡±

    After closing Weibo, Zou Man stood up and touched her stomach. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her exquisite makeup. After confirming that there was no mistake, she picked up her bag and walked out the door.

    Today was the day Jiang Kui cut the ribbon for the new building developed by the Jiang Corporation. Not only were there heavyweight leaders present, but all the major media reporters in the country had also gathered.

    On the high tform, Jiang Kui was wearing a suit and giving a speech. ¡°Wee, everyone.¡±

    However, before he could finish speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly eximed, ¡°Aiya, what¡¯s wrong with this person?!¡±

    The ribbon-cutting was interrupted. Jiang Kui looked at the crowd unhappily, but he saw a familiar figure.

    Zou Man was lying on the ground holding her stomach with a painful expression.

    ¡°Call an ambnce!¡± The person beside him called the hospital in panic.

    At this moment, a man in a white coat ran over from not far away. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. Give us some space first. I¡¯m a doctor from the central hospital who came here for a volunteer consultation. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll check the situation first. Calm down.¡±

    With that, the man squatted down and looked at Zou Man¡¯s pupils before taking her pulse.

    Jiang Kui had a bad feeling.

    The next second, the doctor looked up and patientlyforted Zou Man in front of everyone. ¡°Rx, the child in your stomach is still safe. Take a deep breath and stay calm. Lay your legs t and wait for the ambnce. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±

 Chapter 1071 - Face Slapping

    <h4>Chapter 1071: Face pping</h4>

    After the doctor finished speaking, everyone looked at each other. Everyone could not help but look at Jiang Kui, who was standing above.

    Everyone knew about Zou Man and Jiang Kui back then. They all knew Zou Man¡¯s appearance.?<i>Wasn¡¯t she the woman lying on the ground?</i>

    Now that the doctor said that Zou Man was pregnant, this drama was too exciting. Everyone present was smart. Everyone could tell that Zou Man was using the child to force her way into the pce.

    Zou Man¡¯s face was covered in sweat from the pain. She grabbed the doctor¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Doctor, please save my child.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The doctor looked up and looked around. ¡°Where¡¯s the child¡¯s father? Why isn¡¯t the child¡¯s father with the pregnant woman? How dare he let the pregnant woman go out alone in such cold weather?¡±

    ¡°Xiao Jiang, this girl is your girlfriend, right? The ribbon-cutting ceremony can be postponed, but the child is more important. Go ahead.¡± The leader beside Jiang Kui saw this situation and knew that the ribbon-cutting ceremony could not continue.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s expression was ashen. Others could tell that Zou Man was forcing her way into the pce, so how could he not tell? He gritted his teeth and stared at Zou Man. ¡°Okay.¡±

    When the ambnce arrived, Jiang Kui apanied Zou Man into the ambnce.

    Zou Man was fine. The doctor checked her and instructed her to keep warm and not let her stomach catch a cold before leaving.

    At the side, Jiang Kui stopped him. ¡°Doctor, abort this child.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The doctor looked at Jiang Kui in shock, wondering what was wrong with parents nowadays.?<i>They wanted to abort the child just like that. A living life was like a joke.</i>?¡°The child is very healthy, and he¡¯s already three months old. Are you sure you want to abort him?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Kui nodded. ¡°Arrange the surgery now.¡±

    ¡°This requires the child¡¯s mother to agree.¡± The doctor looked at Zou Man helplessly.

    ......

    Zou Man did not look surprised at all. She smiled. ¡°Doctor, I won¡¯t abort it Go out first. The child¡¯s father is throwing a tantrum with me. Let us talk for a while.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The doctor turned around and pursed his lips.<i>?Sigh, another scumbag who doesn¡¯t want to be responsible.</i>

    ¡°Zou Man, don¡¯t think I can¡¯t tell what you¡¯re thinking. Don¡¯t even think about using this stomach to enter my Jiang family. Look at your status.¡± Jiang Kui looked at Zou Man fiercely, no longer as gentle as before.

    The corners of Zou Man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°What if I don¡¯t abort it? So what if I want to enter your Jiang family?¡±

    ¡°Then try it.¡± Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling to fight yourself, I can help you.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s expression was calm, as if Jiang Kui¡¯s threat was useless to her. She even took an orange and slowly peeled it.

    Jiang Kuipletely lost his patience and made a call. ¡°Arrange for a doctor who knows how to perform an abortion.¡±

    After the call, Jiang Kui pulled Zou Man¡¯s arm. ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Zou Man ced her hand on the back of Jiang Kui¡¯s. ¡°Young Master Jiang, why don¡¯t we talk about the secret in your safe?¡±

    Jiang Kui suddenly stopped and turned around. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Zou Man stroked the back of Jiang Kui¡¯s hand. ¡°I say, I have a copy of your twenty-odd documents. What do you think will happen if I hand these to your father or Jun Shiling?¡±

    Jiang Kui had done severalrge projects in the past few years, and Father Jiang was very gratified by his ability to grow. Zou Man had only found out after looking at Jiang Kui¡¯s safe that Jiang Kui had been secretly using China¡¯s internal news to exchange resources with foreign financial groups. Among them, some of the news was enough to cause the entire Jiang family to be destroyed.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes widened. He raised his hand and pped Zou Man hard. ¡°B*tch!¡±

    Zou Man was pped to the sofa by Jiang Kui, and her right cheek quickly swelled up. Zou Man covered her face and looked at Jiang Kui. ¡°Only by marrying me will I be on your side. I can¡¯t leak the information and let something happen to me, right? Besides, I have your child. You know that your father values bloodline very much. With this child, how can he hand the Jiang family to your sister?¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s words undoubtedly tempted Jiang Kui, but he still could not ept that he had been schemed against by Zou Man. Jiang Kui kicked the bed fiercely, and the medicine hanging on the bed sshed on the ground. ¡°You win.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s face burned with pain, but the corners of her lips curled up.

    <i>I won the bet. I¡¯m going to be the wife of the Jiang family, the wife of the second most powerful family in China!?</i>

    Mr. Jiang quickly heard about the ribbon-cutting scene and called Jiang Kui back.

    In the eyes of ordinary people, Zou Man came from a rich family, but that kind of noble was worlds apart from a traditional family like the Jiang family. Father Jiang naturally disagreed.

    In the end, Jiang Kui signed a military order in front of Father Jiang and set a goal to surpass the Jun Corporation in the market value of the Jiang family within a year. Only then did Father Jiang relent and let Zou Man enter.

    New novels chapters are published ?n !

    Just as Jiang Kui left, the news of Zou Man¡¯s pregnancy spread like wildfire.

    Everyone was discussing the gossip of Zou Man forcing the emperor with her child.

    [¡­ Zou Man¡¯s fans alwayspare her to Xia Wanyuan¡­ How can theypare? Xia Wanyuan is doted on by CEO Jun, but Zou Man¡­ She actually wants to use her pregnancy to threaten Jiang Kui to marry her. This gap.]

    [The person in front, stop talking about Xia Wanyuan. Hasn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image copsed enough? She has been marketing the Chinese light for a few days, but in the end, Director Charon exposed her. How embarrassing.]

    [ Retards are everywhere. There are especially many this year. Even without a phone call, how is Xia Wanyuan not the Light of China? Isn¡¯t her achievement enough to be called the Light of China? ]

    As the fans argued, Director Charon¡¯s words were dug out by everyone.

    Not only was this video circted domestically, but due to Director Charon¡¯s powerful international influence, this video was also quite popr on the Inte.

    The internationalmunity had always been resistant to Chinese people. Seeing Director Charon criticize an actress like this, some media went to look for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s resume and realized that she was actually the Best Actress in China¡¯s entertainment industry.

    [China¡¯s entertainment industry is indeed twenty years behind the world. Can such a person be a best actress?]

    [That country doesn¡¯t connect with the world and can¡¯t produce any good movies. Of course, they can only support such an actor.]

    Looking at thements of the foreignizens, the domesticizens were furious, but they had no choice but to watch helplessly.

    In the studio, Chen Yun racked his brains. ¡°What do you think we should do? Once theizens¡¯ public opinion forms, it¡¯ll be difficult to change their inherent impression. It¡¯s useless to rify that Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have marketing.¡±

    On the first day of work at the studio, Lu Li, who was learning about being a manager, stuck her head out. ¡°Brother Chen, didn¡¯t they say that we can¡¯t film a good movie? Then why don¡¯t we film it for them?¡±

    In Lu Li¡¯s opinion, since Director Charon did not want Sister Xia to film his movie, why not Sister Xia film one herself and make it better than Director Charon¡¯s?

    This was the best public rtions method to shut everyone up.

    ¡°How is that possible? With Director Charon¡¯s standards and special effects production, do you know how much it costs to make this movie?¡± Chen Yun suddenly stopped.

    <i>Isn¡¯t it just spending money? We have plenty of money! As long as we have money, what kind of special effects production team can¡¯t we hire? With Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills, why should we worry about not conquering everyone?</i>

    Chinese movies had always suffered from not having a presence internationally. This time, Xia Wanyuan could be considered to have made a name for herself internationally, although it was negative.

    However, there was a turning point in the crisis. Perhaps this was the best time for Chinese movies to rush out of the international scene.

    The more Chen Yun thought about it, the more excited he became. He looked at Lu Li with shining eyes. ¡°Girl, Wanyuan is right. You¡¯re indeed suitable for this. I¡¯ll discuss this with Wanyuan first.¡±

    After hearing Chen Yun¡¯s exnation, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and agreed. ¡°I have no problem, but I have a request.¡±

    ¡°What request?¡±

    ¡°I want to choose my own script.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never tried such a movie before. She was still quite curious.

    ¡°Of course!¡± Chen Yun agreed. ¡°Then I¡¯lle up with a n.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan casually flipped through thements online. She felt that these people were quite boring, but she was not angry at theizens¡¯ mockery.

    After all, she knew very well that ordinaryizens were only being led forward. The ones who really controlled the direction of public opinion were the people hiding behind.

    She quickly sorted it out in her mind. Finally, the back of a person who had been hiding behind all sorts of things appeared.

    In the office of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was looking at the document in his hand.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the public opinion on the Inte a few days ago was started by Zou Man. She got someone to buy Charon¡¯s video and mobilized the navy to spread the news.¡± Lin Jing stood in front of the desk and reported to Jun Shiling respectfully.

    ¡°Zou Man?¡± Jun Shiling frowned slightly. He had never had a good memory for these people.

    ¡°Yes, she¡¯s about to be Jiang Kui¡¯s wife.¡±

    ¡°Then let¡¯s give them a big gift together.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The office fell silent.

    The Inte, which had been boiling for two days, finally received a statement from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio.

    Everyone thought that they would see a rification about the marketing incident. Unexpectedly, what came was news that the studio was about to film a sci-fi movie.

 Chapter 1072 - Infuriating the White Lotus

    <h4>Chapter 1072: Infuriating the White Lotus</h4>

    Seeing this news, everyone¡¯s first reaction was to find it funny. After all, Chinese sci-fi movies were basically equivalent to bad movies in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    Over the years, only one or two sci-fi movies that barely matched the public¡¯s aesthetics and had good box office sales were only popr domestically. They had no way of entering the international market.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio had announced this news at this critical moment after being rejected by Director Charon. <i>Wasn¡¯t this clearly dering war on Director Charon? </i>

    At this moment, not only did the passers-by feel that it was ridiculous, but even the fans felt a little guilty.

    [... Are you poisonous? Have you discussed this with Yuan Yuan? Can the studio not just take money and do inhumane affairs? Anyway, when the timees, you won¡¯t be the one to embarrass yourself and be scolded, right?]

    [Um... Director Charon can be considered the father of science fiction movies. You¡¯re courting death by challenging him.]

    [For some reason, I have a feeling that Xia Wanyuan is arrogant. How much money do you think you have? How dare you openly challenge an international director now? America is not China. No matter how rich you are, they won¡¯t fall for your tricks.]

    At the center of public opinion, not only was there arge number of reports about this news in the country, but under the operations of foreign people, the topic of ¡°Chinese actresses publicly challenging Charon¡¯s new movie¡± was also widely spread overseas.

    Director Charon was a famous director overseas, and none of China¡¯s movies could enter the international scene. In the eyes of foreign people, Chinese actresses really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the set, the staff was a little careful. ¡°Sister Xia, are you going to film a sci-fi movie?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I think it¡¯s quite interesting and want to try it.¡±

    To Xia Wanyuan, in the dynasty she lived in her previous life, the Chinese were worshiped by all countries. The thoughts of the Heavenly Kingdom were rooted in her bones. She had always felt that China had to do the best thing, so there was no fear of foreign thoughts.

    ¡°Oh, oh.¡± The staff forced a smile. ¡°Then work hard. Your movie will definitely be popr.¡±

    ......

    Towards the end, the staff felt that their words were a little unreliable.

    Xia Wanyuan did not care about what others thought. She matched the scene with the director and began filming.

    Over the past few days, Su Yueran had note to the production team again. However, today, halfway through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s filming, Su Yueran slowly walked in.

    ¡°Sister Yueran, congrattions on obtaining the qualifications to film Charon. You¡¯re really amazing.¡± Before Su Yueran could walk to the director¡¯s side, the staff began to congratte her.

    ¡°Thank you, everyone. I was just lucky. Xia Wanyuan gave in to me. Actually, her acting skills are much better than mine,¡± Su Yueran replied humbly.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scene had just ended. Su Yueran walked towards her. ¡°Miss Xia, can I take some time to talk to you?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, her expression indifferent. In the eyes of the others, they felt that the atmosphere between the two was very awkward.

    Su Yueran brought Xia Wanyuan to the cafe beside the film studio and handed her a box.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°It¡¯s to apologize.¡± Su Yueran¡¯s eyes were filled with apology. ¡°If not for your dy at the hospital, the opportunity to get this role would definitely be yours. If I had known earlier, I should have sent the youngdy and Miss Xia, you could¡¯ve gone for the audition. Your acting skills are much better than mine.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not take the thing Su Yueran handed her. Her gazended on the coffee in front of her. ¡°You¡¯re too polite. You got this role. It has nothing to do with me.¡±

    ¡°Then, Miss Xia, have you forgiven me?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no forgiveness. You got the role yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little impatient. She did not like Su Yueran.

    Su Yueran¡¯s eyes were filled with anxiety. ¡°Then you still won¡¯t forgive me. We went to the audition together, but because you sent someone to the hospital, this opportunity fell on me. I feel guilty for epting it.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, a crisp and sweet voice suddenly came from the side. Lu Li ran happily to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. ¡°There are a few scripts that I need you to read.¡±

    ¡°This is?¡± Su Yueran¡¯s eyes shed with displeasure at being interrupted.

    ¡°I¡¯m Sister Xia¡¯s manager. My name is Lu Li. I¡¯m Lu as in deer, and Li as in pear. Hello, Miss Su.¡± Lu Li smiled sweetly and introduced herself to Su Yueran.

    ¡°Hello.¡± After greeting Lu Li, Su Yueran turned around to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, I hope you can forgive me. My birthday banquet is the day after tomorrow. I want to invite you and CEO Jun to the Su family. If you don¡¯te, you¡¯re still angry with me.¡±

    ¡°Why did you invite CEO Jun along?¡± Lu Li interrupted. She looked really puzzled. ¡°Did you make CEO Jun angry?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Su Yueran nced at Lu Li. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager, looked a little stupid. She could not be bothered to argue with her about Lu Li catching the wrong point. ¡°I just want to express my apology.¡±

    ¡°Sister Su¡± Lu Li opened her innocent eyes as if she had suddenly thought of a good idea. ¡°How about this? Let¡¯s hold a press conference and exin the situation to the public. At that time, I was bitten by a dog. Sister Xia sent me to the hospital. Sister Su went to the audition herself, which led to Director Charon misunderstanding Sister Xia.¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s tone was very serious. She even took out a notebook from her bag as if she was nning the press conference. ¡°Sister Su, what do you think? It can help Sister Xia reduce the pressure of public opinion and stop you from feeling so guilty.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Looking at Lu Li¡¯s very innocent face, Su Yueran could not hold back the smile on her lips. She wondered if this little girl was pretending to be innocent.

    Facing a person who had been bitten by a dog, Xia Wanyuan had chosen to send someone to the hospital, but she had run to the audition herself. What would others think of her?

    Seeing that Su Yueran was silent, Lu Li carefully shrank her neck and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Xia, did I say something wrong?¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°No, Miss Su feels that there¡¯s something wrong with your actions. In that case, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Su Yueran tightened her grip on the gift box. She could not stop Xia Wanyuan now, but she felt indignant if she did not. While she was hesitating, Xia Wanyuan had already walked out of the cafe with Lu Li.

    Walking out of the cafe, Lu Li still felt a little guilty.<i> Did I say something wrong just now? Why does that Su Yueran look unhappy?</i>

 Chapter 1073 - Little Star

    <h4>Chapter 1073: Little Star</h4>

    Lu Li was worried that she did not do her job well. She carefully asked Xia Wanyuan, ¡°Sister Xia, did I not do my job well?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just maintain this.¡±

    There were many twists and turns in the entertainment industry. It was not a bad thing to have a character that directly pries open the fog and grasps the root like Lu Li.

    ¡°Okay, hehe.¡± Knowing that she did not mess things up, Lu Li was happy. ¡°Sister Xia, where are you going after filming?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her phone. ¡°Jun Shiling will pick me up. After the production team is done, you can go home.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded, then looked at Xia Wanyuan enviously and curiously. ¡°Sister Xia, I heard that you and CEO Jun have a good rtionship. I¡¯ve never seen CEO Jun before. Can you let me take a look?¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Why do you want to see him?¡±

    Lu Li was very honest. ¡°Because I sawizens say that CEO Jun is handsome. I¡¯m a little curious how good-looking CEO Jun is in person.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll give you a ride home tonight.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes were filled with stars.

    She felt that she was too happy! Not only could she work with Xia Wanyuan, but she could also earn a very high sry. Now, she could even see Jun Shiling, whom theizens were dying to see.

    <i>Meeting Xia Wanyuan is the luckiest thing in my life!?</i>

    After a day of filming, Xia Wanyuan waved at Lu Li, who happily followed her out.

    ......

    At the entrance of the base, Jun Shiling was wearing a refined suit and a ck coat. Hearing footsteps, he turned around. Lu Li was stunned.

    <i>So the domineering CEO in novels really existed in the world. Sister Xia¡¯s husband was too handsome.?</i>

    Before Xia Wanyuan could walk up to him, Jun Shiling¡¯s hand had already reached over. His eyes were gentle. ¡°Are you tired?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head and introduced Lu Li to Jun Shiling. ¡°My new manager, Lu Li.¡±

    ¡°Hello, CEO Jun.¡± Lu Li greeted Jun Shiling happily.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude towards the people around Xia Wanyuan was much better. He nodded at Lu Li.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll send you.¡± Xia Wanyuan got into the car and looked at Lu Li.

    ¡°No need, Sister Xia. I can go back myself. I¡¯ve already seen it.¡± Lu Li waved her hand. Although CEO Jun was handsome, he was really scary. Lu Li was a little afraid of him.

    ¡°Alright, be careful.¡± Lu Li did not get into the car, and Xia Wanyuan did not force her.

    ¡°Mm! Bye, Sister Xia.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car gradually disappear in front of her, Lu Li walked towards the bus stop.

    The bus had not arrived yet. Lu Li looked around and her eyes suddenly lit up. She walked towards the porridge shop not far away.

    This was a small shop that specialized in seafood porridge. Business was very good. Lu Li waited for a long time before buying it. When she returned to the bus stop, the previous bus had just left.

    Lu Li carried the seafood porridge. She wanted to take a taxi, but her heart ached for the money. She could only sit on the chair beside her and wait for the next bus.

    .

    ¡°CEO Xuan, our profits this quarter increased by 30%pared to the previous quarter¡­¡± In the car, the assistant was reporting to Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng, who was sitting in his seat and looking out the window, suddenly raised his hand. ¡°Wait.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, CEO Xuan? Is there a problem?¡± The assistant panicked and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the document in his hand<i>. Did I read the data wrongly? No.</i>

    ¡°Go to the bus stop.¡± Unexpectedly, Xuan Sheng was not talking about the documents at all.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant was stunned, but he still followed Xuan Sheng¡¯s instructions and gestured for the chauffeur to turn around.

    At the bus stop, Lu Li was counting the leaves under her feet in boredom when a car honked.

    Lu Li subconsciously looked over and saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s exquisite side profile in the car window.

    ¡°CEO Xuan!¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes lit up as she walked over with the seafood porridge.

    ¡°Get in.¡± Xuan Sheng moved to the side.

    ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Lu Li entered the car and brought in a faint fragrance of porridge. The assistant, who had been reading documents the entire way, secretly swallowed his saliva.

    However, what made him most curious was the spiritual-looking youngdy in front of him. The assistant secretly nced at Xuan Sheng and thought to himself,?<i>Could it be that our CEO Xuan is starting to be the same as before?</i>

    In the past, Xuan Sheng had been surrounded by flowers. Later on, he met Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng had never touched those women again. It had been a long time since the assistant had seen Xuan Sheng with a woman. This was the first time in almost a year.

    Looking at Lu Li¡¯s clear eyes, the assistant sighed in his heart. He could already foresee the scene of these bright eyes extinguishing in the future.

    Xuan Sheng was the second person Lu Li knew in Beijing. Lu Li naturally felt very close to him. She could not hold it in and wanted to chat with Xuan Sheng, but Xuan Sheng¡¯s cold ¡°Shut up¡± stopped her.

    When the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Xuan Sheng and Lu Li walked out together. Seeing the two of them walk away, the assistant could not help but click his tongue.<i>?That youngdy looked like a naive and ignorant person. Who would have thought that she would be so unrestrained? She went straight to the hotel.?</i>

    <i>To think that I had sympathized with her just now. I thought that the little rabbit had met the big bad wolf. Who would have thought that it was just two wild wolves?</i>

    ¡°CEO Xuan, thank you for bringing me back.¡± When Lu Li was happy, her eyes lit up.

    Xuan Sheng could not stand such hopeful eyes the most. He turned his face away. ¡°It¡¯s on the way.¡±

    ¡°Thank you very much.¡± Lu Li handed the porridge in her hand to Xuan Sheng. ¡°I bought this for you. It¡¯s just enough to repay you for sending me back. I think you always drink wine. You won¡¯t feel so ufortable if you eat a little porridge.¡±

    The seafood porridge was still steaming, and the fragrance wrapped around Xuan Sheng¡¯s nose. He lowered his head and met Lu Li¡¯s shining eyes.

    This was the first time he looked at Lu Li seriously.

    Lu Li looked up with bright eyes and dimples on her face. It really matched her name. She was lively and sweet.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up. He had crawled out of a pile of women, so how could he not understand the hint of different feelings hidden in Lu Li¡¯s sparkling eyes?

    The little girl was quite cute, but he did not like her.

    This was the person beside Xia Wanyuan. If it were anyone else, he would still be interested in ying, but he would not give this person a chance.

    Xuan Sheng took the seafood porridge and walked out of the elevator. Then, he threw it into the trash can. His peach blossom eyes looked very serious when he did not smile. ¡°I don¡¯t like to eat this. Be her manager properly and don¡¯t give me this.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was very fierce and his actions were very hurtful. He thought that this would scare away this delicate and weak youngdy, but he was clearly wrong.

    Lu Li caught up from behind, her eyes as clean as ever. ¡°Then what do you like to eat? I¡¯ll buy it for youter.¡±

 Chapter 1074 - Heâ€™s Lonelier Than Fireworks

    <h4>Chapter 1074: He¡¯s Lonelier Than Fireworks</h4>

    Lu Li¡¯s thoughts were very simple. She felt that Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng treated her very well, and she wanted to treat them well too. Since Xuan Sheng did not like porridge, she could help him buy something else.

    Facing Lu Li¡¯s clear eyes, Xuan Sheng felt a little helpless. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to buy it for me, and you don¡¯t have to pity me. I don¡¯t need it.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t pity you.¡± Lu Li subconsciously stirred her two index fingers in front of her. ¡°I just think you¡¯ll feel ufortable if you drink too much.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to care if I feel ufortable. Besides.¡± Xuan Sheng was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly leaned close to Lu Li. The fragrance on his body enveloped Lu Li, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.

    Xuan Sheng smiled, his beautiful eyes shining. ¡°You care so much about me and like me?¡±

    Lu Li was stunned by Xuan Sheng¡¯s smile and subconsciously nodded. When she reacted, she hurriedly shook her head. However, she could not hide the blush on her face.

    Looking at Lu Li¡¯s inexperienced appearance, a smile shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. He straightened his body. ¡°Come in. I have something to tell you.¡±

    Lu Li hesitated for a long time before following Xuan Sheng into the room.

    She believed in Sister Xia. She felt that anyone who could make friends with Xia Wanyuan was a good person.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s room looked a little messy. There was a pile of wine bottles on the table.

    Xuan Sheng tugged at his tie and casually threw it aside. His exposed corbone shone white under the light. Lu Li turned her head away in embarrassment.

    ¡°Do you drink, little girl?¡± Xuan Sheng took two sses, poured a ss of red wine, and handed it to Lu Li.

    ¡°No.¡± Lu Li waved her hand. She had never drunk since she was young.

    ......

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xuan Sheng did not force her. He poured himself a ss and drank it like water.

    He poured himself another ss, then leaned back on the sofa. ¡°I know why you like me.¡±

    Lu Li was subconsciously a little shy when her most secretive thoughts were exposed so bluntly. The light in the house was very dim, but it could be seen that she was blushing frighteningly.

    A smile appeared in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you know why Xia Wanyuan chose you as her manager?¡±

    Lu Li was stunned. ¡°Because she¡¯s a good person. She saw that I didn¡¯t have a job.¡±

    Xuan Sheng took a sip of red wine, his eyes sparkling. ¡°You¡¯re half right. The other half is because you¡¯re very likable. You¡¯re very clean, the kind of clean that doesn¡¯t stain anything in the secr world. Looking at you makes one feel good.¡±

    Lu Li felt her entire body heat up from Xuan Sheng¡¯s words. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s gazended on Lu Li. ¡°Your world is innocent and pure. You¡¯re pure white, while I¡¯m strong ck. It¡¯s too normal for you to be attracted to me.¡±

    Lu Li felt that there was something wrong with Xuan Sheng¡¯s tone. She looked up and saw Xuan Sheng looking down, looking very lonely. ¡°CEO Xuan.¡±

    .

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled. The corners of his lips were clearly curled up, but in Lu Li¡¯s eyes, Xuan Sheng was very sad. ¡°Little girl, you can tell, right? I like Xia Wanyuan, just like how I attract you. Someone like Xia Wanyuan attracts me strongly, but look, will we have an oue? No, because we¡¯re not on the same path.¡±

    Lu Li was confused, but it did not stop her from feeling the intense sorrow in Xuan Sheng. She felt her heart ache and subconsciously apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s there to apologize for?¡± Perhaps it was because Lu Li was too clean, so clean that Xuan Sheng could not help but say a few more words to her. ¡°Go back, little girl. Follow your Sister Xia and see more of the world. You will realize that there are many people who are on the same path as you in this world, and they are the ones who can travel with you.¡±

    As a youngdy, she would always be blinded by the outer appearance when she was young and mistakenly think that she was attracted to him. As time passed, she would always realize that at that time, being attracted was not worth mentioning.

    Lu Li did not know what to say and could only stand up and walk out. Someone suddenly set off a firework outside the hotel, and Lu Li subconsciously turned around.

    The fireworks outside the window were brilliant. Xuan Sheng also turned to look at the fireworks. His exquisite eyebrows were clearly extinguished by the light of the fireworks.

    Fireworks fell in the blink of an eye. Lu Li thought of a sentence.<i>?He¡¯s more lonely than fireworks.?</i>

    Lu Li bit her lip, then pushed open the door and left the room.

    The door closed. Xuan Sheng turned around and drank the red wine in his ss. He shook his head. ¡°Little girl.¡±

    Lu Li returned to the next room and the fireworks began outside the window again. This was the first time Lu Li, who had always slept well, could not sleep.

    After the fireworks dissipated, she called her grandparents. She knew that in order to answer her call, her grandmother would always put her phone by her pillow when she slept at night.

    Although it was alreadyte at night, the call was picked up after two rings.

    ¡°Good granddaughter, why aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡±

    Hearing Grandma¡¯s voice, Lu Li¡¯s thoughts seemed to calm down a little. She nestled in the warm nket. ¡°Grandma, I want to ask you a question.¡±

    ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Li¡¯s grandmother had never gone to school, but she had learned all her life philosophy from her grandmother.

    ¡°Grandma, what if I fall in love with a boy and he says that he¡¯s not the same as me? He seems to have already experienced a lot.¡± Lu Li did not know what Xuan Sheng had experienced, but she could feel the destion emanating from Xuan Sheng, making her heart turn cold.

    ¡°Good granddaughter, how old are you this year? Isn¡¯t it just liking a boy? This is a small matter.¡± Grandma¡¯s teeth were a little exposed. She chuckled. ¡°If you like him, go and fight for him. Time will tell you the answer. But you have to remember not to disturb others¡¯ lives.¡±

    Grandma was almost 70 years old. She had experienced too much in the long river of time. In front of time, all questions could be answered.

    ¡°Mm! Okay, Grandma.¡± Lu Li nodded.

    ¡°What kind of boy is he?¡± Grandma asked curiously. ¡°Can you let Grandpa and Grandma take a look at him too? My good granddaughter has grown up.¡±

    ¡°Grandma! You¡¯reughing at me again.¡± Thinking of Xuan Sheng¡¯s bright eyes when he approached her, Lu Li quietly blushed. ¡°Grandma, sleep early. I want to sleep too.¡±

    ¡°Okay, be careful not to kick the nket. Be careful not to catch a cold.¡± Grandma patiently instructed for a long time before hanging up the phone.

    Lu Li crawled out of the nket and secretly smiled when she thought of Xuan Sheng.

    <i>It didn¡¯t matter if Xuan Sheng didn¡¯t like me! It didn¡¯t stop me from being good to him!?</i>

 Chapter 1075 - Stop Acting like a Senior in Front of Me

    <h4>Chapter 1075: Stop Acting like a Senior in Front of Me</h4>

    The next day, just as Xuan Sheng woke up, he heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, there was no one at the door. There was only a box of seafood porridge hanging on the door handle.

    Xuan Sheng reached out to take the porridge. It was still steaming. Xuan Sheng casually threw it on the table at the side and shook his head helplessly. ¡°Young girl.¡±

    Lu Li hid at the side. Seeing that Xuan Sheng had taken the porridge away, she secretly came out and hummed a song as she walked downstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan had a day of filming today, so Lu Li was waiting at the film studio early.

    ¡°Sister Xia ~¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan walking over from afar, Lu Li waved at her.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and saw Lu Li¡¯s innocent smile. She immediately felt better. ¡°How did you get here in the morning?¡±

    ¡°I took the bus.¡± Lu Li handed the printed script to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Xia, this is the script I received a few days ago. Take a look first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it and her eyes flickered. Although Lu Li did not know anything, she was very serious and willing to learn.

    Lu Li read the scripts in her hand seriously first, then sorted out the general points of each script and attached them to the side.

    ¡°Lu Li, are you living well in the hotel?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked. ¡°I got Chen Yun to help you find a few houses. Do you want to take a look?¡±

    Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand. ¡°No need, no need. I¡¯ll live there quite well.¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you live alone? You can even cook and eat by yourself. It¡¯s not healthy to eat takeout every day.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Sister Xia. I¡¯m fine living there.¡± Lu Li¡¯s ears suddenly turned red.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the tips of Lu Li¡¯s red ears. ¡°How does Xuan Sheng treat you?¡±

    As expected, the redness at the tip of Lu Li¡¯s ears quickly spread to her entire face. Lu Li lowered her head and blinked. ¡°Pretty good.¡±

    PLease reading on Myb oxn o ve l.

    Lu Li¡¯s reaction was too obvious. How could Xia Wanyuan not tell? However, she knew that Lu Li was thin-skinned, so she did not say anything else. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng was already able to stand up on his own. Wei Jin apanied him and slowly did rehabilitation training.

    ¡°Ah Jin, I don¡¯t have any strength. Hold me more.¡± Mu Feng hugged Wei Jin¡¯s waist and could not help but sigh in his heart.?<i>How could my wife¡¯s waist be so thin?</i>

    Wei Jin¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°When I didn¡¯t help you just now, you walked quite well yourself. Why do you have no strength when I help you?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I lose my strength when I saw you?¡± Mu Feng took the opportunity to lean his head on Wei Jin¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Aiyo, I¡¯m dizzy. Jin, do I need CPR?¡±

    ¡°If you continue like this, I won¡¯te!¡± Wei Jin wanted to push Mu Feng away angrily, but she could only suppress her anger because of Mu Feng¡¯s health.

    The more Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin, the more he wanted to tease her. He looked at Wei Jin¡¯s beautiful eyes and was happy. ¡°Ah Jin, can I kiss you?¡±

    Wei Jin was embarrassed. ¡°No.¡±

    Mu Feng rubbed against her shoulder. ¡°We¡¯ve registered our marriage. If you don¡¯t let me kiss you, give me a reason.¡±

    Wei Jin pursed her lips. ¡°Anyway, you can¡¯t.¡±

    Mu Feng smiled and suddenly pointed out of the window. ¡°Look at what bird that is.¡±

    Wei Jin looked in the direction he was pointing. There was a magpie standing outside. ¡°It¡¯s a mag-.¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, a hint of heatnded on her lips. In front of her was Mu Feng¡¯s erged eyebrows.

    ¡°You!¡± Wei Jin subconsciously opened her mouth to speak, but Mu Feng slipped in. ¡°Ah Jin, close your eyes.¡±

    Mu Feng¡¯s actions were very gentle. He slowly wrapped himself around Wei Jin and tasted her sweetness.

    Just as Wei Jin was feeling emotional, the ward door was suddenly pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. ¡°It¡¯s broad daylight. Ridiculous!¡±

    Mu Feng retreated from Wei Jin¡¯s lips and protected her behind him. He frowned and looked at the door. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m your father. Why do you think I¡¯m here?¡± Mu Ting looked at Mu Feng unhappily and then at Wei Jin, who was protected by Mu Feng. ¡°You¡¯ve grown up. You took advantage of my absence to register your marriage with someone else. Do you still have me in your eyes?¡±

    ¡°Hubby, calm down.¡± Zhang Yi held Mu Ting¡¯s arm and gently breathed on his chest. She nced at Mu Feng. ¡°Mu Feng, look how concerned your father is about you. As soon as he returned to China, he heard that you were sick and came to visit you. Don¡¯t make your father angry.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s an unfilial son. Other than making me angry, what else does he know?!¡± Mu Ting looked at Mu Feng hatefully. Seeing Mu Feng¡¯s disdainful expression, he was even angrier.

    Wei Jin stood up from behind Mu Feng and called Mu Ting ¡°Father¡±. After all, he was Mu Feng¡¯s father and she should greet him.

    ¡°I can¡¯t afford to be called father by you. Our Mu family is a prestigious family. I¡¯ve never seen anyone marry in secretly.¡± Mu Ting could not do anything to Mu Feng, but he could vent his anger on others.

    Mu Feng stood up and held Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°Stop acting like a senior in front of me. Wei Jin is my wife, the mistress of the Mu family. If you scold her, ask me if I agree first.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng made a call. Not long after, the bodyguards arrived at the ward.

    Mu Ting looked at the way he chased him away and was instantly angry. ¡°Unfilial son!¡±

    Mu Feng ignored Mu Ting and closed the door.

    Zhang Yi held Mu Ting¡¯s arm and helped him calm down while sighing. ¡°Sigh, Hubby, I heard that Father has already agreed to hand the power of the Mu family to Mu Feng. This child has such a bad temper. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate to let him control the family now, right?¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Mu Ting¡¯s eyes widened.?<i>I¡¯m not dead yet! Now, Mu Feng wants to obtain power?!?</i>

    Zhang Yi sighed. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s all that Wei Jin¡¯s fault. If not for her, Mu Feng wouldn¡¯t be so radical. Although this child was also rebellious in the past, when did he ever speak to you so aggressively? He didn¡¯t even care about his father-son rtionship with you.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, no one can enter the Mu family without my approval!¡± Mu Ting was angered by Zhang Yi¡¯s words. He was the head of the Mu family. Without his permission, no one could enter.

    Seeing Mu Ting¡¯s angry expression, the corners of Zhang Yi¡¯s lips curled up.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The sky gradually darkened. Xia Wanyuan had finished filming for the day. Lu Li walked forward and handed the warm grapefruit water to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Xia, you acted so well. I can¡¯t tell if it¡¯s acting or reality.¡±

    Just now, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a crown. When she sat on the high seat, Lu Li¡¯s legs subconsciously went limp, as if she had really seen the queen who controlled life and death.

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip of water. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard today. Go home and rest early.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Lu Li nodded and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    In the vast international waters of Continent M, Yu Qian leaned against the piano and was aimlessly hitting the keys.

    Jayce walked in and bowed respectfully. ¡°Boss, the Chinese operation has begun to close the.¡±

    Yu Qian waved his hand. ¡°Do as you deem fit.¡±

    Jayce was puzzled.<i>?Do as I deem fit for something so important?</i>?However, he did not dare to refute Yu Qian¡¯s words and could only lower his head and agree.

    Jayce left the room. Yu Qian pressed the piano keys casually.

    He had known from the beginning that China operation would fail. It made no difference who he handed it to.

    He had nned such arge event just to confirm some things. As for how many people had died and how many threads had been lost, it did not matter to him.

 Chapter 1076 - Show Off Your Love

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The sky gradually darkened, and the manor seemed especially quiet today. Xiao Bao was sent to Old Master Jun¡¯s house. After dinner, Jun Shiling entered the study and did note out.

    Xia Wanyuan was happy to be quiet. She sat in the living room and started a live broadcast, then drew.

    [Boohoo, I finally see Yuan Yuan again. Yuan Yuan, let me take a look at your face.]

    tly caught on all the routes in the southwest.

    Until half-past eleven in the evening, all the deployment personnel reported the capture situation.

    ¡°Sir, the mission isplete!¡±

    ¡°Hand it over to the various districts for interrogation. After the interrogation, hand over the materials.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After deploying for so long, he had finally taken down the underground interest chain that had been hidden in the southwest for a long time. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was relieved. He called the seventh prison. ¡°You can allow Bo Xiao to have visitors.¡±

    Downstairs, Xia Wanyuan had already drawn three paintings of different styles. Even though it was not the first time they had seen Xia Wanyuan draw, everyone could not hide the shock in their hearts.

    [Boss, don¡¯t be so fast and do whatever you want. This will make me think that I can do it too.]

    [I heard footsteps. Is CEO Jun here?? Yuan Yuan is too serious about painting. She doesn¡¯t seem to have noticed!]

    Just as thements floated past, a pair of slender hands appeared on the screen. ¡°Baby, why aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not apanying me.¡± As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her tone was a little coquettish.

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m done. Can I carry you to bed? Last night, you¡­¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan covered his mouth. ¡°I didn¡¯t turn off the live broadcast!¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out and removed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. He raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, ¡°I said that you didn¡¯t sleep wellst night and that you should rest early today. What are you thinking about?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling.?<i>Cut it out. Don¡¯t I know Jun Shiling well? That wasn¡¯t what he wanted to say just now.</i>

    Thements exploded because of Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    [Ahhh, this deep and maic voice. I¡¯m dead. I dreamed of such a domineering CEO coaxing me to sleep today!]

    [Um, we¡¯re not outsiders anymore. What happened to Yuan Yuanst night? CEO Jun, speak louder. We want to hear it too (shy). I¡¯m an adult. I can hear it.]

    Just as theizens were arguing, a slender hand reached over and the entire scene was cut off.

    Netizen:?<i>CEO Jun, don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you¡¯re the richest man! Put Yuan Yuan down!?</i>

 Chapter 1077 - Moved

    <h4>Chapter 1077: Moved</h4>

    ¡°Alright, the live broadcast has been cut off. Now, let¡¯s discuss what you promised mest night.¡± Jun Shiling removed the pen from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and pressed her onto the sofa.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t agree to anything. Get up.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling helplessly. ¡°I have ink on my hand.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan. There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. The corbone under her neck was half-hidden, and it could easily draw out the heat in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    Xia Wanyuan had been filming martial arts scenes for the past few days. She felt that she could not let Jun Shiling mess around anymore, so she hooked her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. Her eyshes blinked gently, and her big eyes shed with a hint of weakness. ¡°I¡¯m tired.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan usually looked cold and cheerless. Now that she suddenly showed weakness, it made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart weak.

    Although his body was even more excited because of her soft and weak appearance, he felt extremely pitiful. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Go and rest. I won¡¯t torture you anymore.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled smugly and reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°I don¡¯t want to walk.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll carry you up.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the open sea of Continent M, the phone on the ship was about to explode. Jayce came to ask for Yu Qian¡¯s opinion with a troubled expression. ¡°Boss, Sea Shark has already called more than ten times.¡±

    ¡°Ignore him.¡± Yu Qian held a book and sat by the window. His gentle side profile made it seem as if the turbulent sea outside had calmed down.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce thought for a while and hesitated. In the end, he could not help but remind Yu Qian, ¡°Boss, China¡¯s operation failed. Punish me.¡±

    Yu Qian flipped a page of the book and his gaze did not deviate at all. ¡°Go down.¡±

    He had expected failure. There was no need to talk about punishment.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce closed the door carefully.

    He felt relieved that he had escaped death, but he was also a little puzzled. The losses this time were not small. The connections and offline lines that the previous boss had spent many years burying in China had all disappeared in this operation.

    Furthermore, they had spent a lot of effort to bring billions of drugs into China this time. Not only did they not earn a single cent, but they were also detained in China. It was an unprecedented loss.

    However, he did not think that Yu Qian had made a mistake in his decision. After all, this man could kill his previous boss at the age of 15 and spend less than ten years topletely control the underground organizationwork that covered the world and be the king of this world. His decision had never made any mistakes.

    Jayce thought for a long time but could not think of anything. In the end, he gave up. Anyway, he had survived this time. He only needed to strictly follow Yu Qian¡¯s orders.

    He was halfway there when Yu Qian¡¯s voice came from themunicator. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Jayce¡¯s heart, which had just rxed, rose again.<i>?Oh no, is the boss preparing to punish me again??</i>

    He walked back nervously and looked at Yu Qian carefully. ¡°Boss, is there anything else you need?¡±

    ¡°Does Xia Wanyuan have a dance scene? Show me.¡± Yu Qian ced his hand on the piano, and his exquisite cufflinks shone under the light.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce knew that Yu Qian was a little interested in Xia Wanyuan. In order to deal with Yu Qian¡¯s strange request at all times, he specially carried hisputer and watched all the television dramas rted to Xia Wanyuan. Now, it was easy to find the scene of the Heavenly Spirit Princess dancing in ¡°The Long Bad¡±.

    This dance was coincidentally the dance after the Heavenly Spirit Princess lost her family and lost all hope in the world. It was clearly an extremely gorgeous makeup and clothes, and her actions were extremely beautiful, but it inexplicably made one feel the pain in her every move.

    Yu Qian reached out and pressed the piano button. Music notes began to linger in the room, and the rhythm gradually followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dance.

    After the song and dance, Yu Qian looked at the surging sea outside the window.

    The endless sea swallowed the boundary between heaven and earth, making one feel endless loneliness.

    ¡°Do you think I should find someone to dance with?¡± Yu Qian seemed to be talking to himself. Jayce did not dare to speak. He could not guess Yu Qian¡¯s thoughts, nor did he dare to guess blindly.

    In the Wei family¡¯s courtyard, Wei Zimu suddenly rxed when he heard the news.

    <i>Fortunately, it did not seed.</i>

    The phone rang. Wei Zimu frowned, but he still pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Brother, are you happy?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice came from the phone.

    ¡°What¡¯s there to be happy about? There¡¯s a problem with your operation, I¡¯ve already advised you.¡± Yu Qian was too contradictory to Wei Zimu. On the one hand, he hated people like Yu Qian extremely. On the other hand, as the younger brother he had owed for a long time, Yu Qian was a sore point that he could not part with.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan in charge of the Wei family? Why is she so at ease handing the Wei family to you?¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t have any designs on the Wei family. You once promised me.¡± Wei Zimu subconsciously became vignt.

    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in the Wei family. I just want to say that you¡¯ve been in China for long enough. It¡¯s time for you toe back.¡± The sound of a piano came from Yu Qian¡¯s side, making Wei Zimu panic.

    ¡°I understand. After I settle the matters here, it will be at most a month.¡± Wei Zimu knew Yu Qian¡¯s personality. If he did not go back, who knew what Yu Qian could do?

    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home.¡± With that, Yu Qian hung up.

    Wei Zimu sighed. He always subconsciously thought about it.

    <i>If I had not chased after thatntern when I was five years old and lost Yu Qian, would everything be different now?</i>

    <i>Perhaps Yu Qian would be a lively and kind child like Xia Yu, not someone who made one¡¯s heart tremble just by looking at him.</i>

    The night deepened, and most people had already fallen asleep.

    In the hotel lobby, Lu Li looked at the script while paying attention to themotion at the door.

    She helped Xia Wanyuan throw another sci-fi script of poor quality. Just as she closed the pen, Lu Li saw someone striding in.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Lu Li picked up the script and weed him. The light in her eyes was much brighter than the lights in the hall.

    ¡°Little girl, it¡¯s sote, why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Xuan Sheng had already experienced too much and his mentality was already old. In his opinion, Lu Li was like a child. She was likable, but he did not feel anything for her.

    Unlike Xia Wanyuan, who was quiet because of time, making one¡¯s heart flutter with just a nce.

    ¡°I was waiting for you. I didn¡¯t see you today.¡± Lu Li did not hide anything. Since Xuan Sheng had made things clear yesterday, she did not hesitate and said what was on her mind.

    ]¡±What¡¯s there to see?¡± Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s go upstairs. The hall is so cold.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded and followed Xuan Sheng like a little tail.

    It was already veryte, and only Lu Li and Xuan Sheng were in the elevator.

    Lu Li quietly turned to look at Xuan Sheng.

    Although it was very cold outside, Xuan Sheng was still only wearing a thin ck coat. The shirt inside was loosely stuck to his body, and his shirt was half buttoned. He was indescribably flirtatious.

    Sensing Lu Li¡¯s gaze, Xuan Sheng turned his head and smiled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, little girl? Am I good-looking?¡±

    Lu Li blinked and suddenly reached out to press the back of her hand against Xuan Sheng¡¯s right cheek before letting go. Lu Li¡¯s eyes were filled with seriousness. ¡°Your temperature is so low. It¡¯s so cold outside. You can wear something thicker.¡±

    When she was young, she liked to wear clothes and rarely yed outside. This was how her grandmother took care of her.

    Xuan Sheng actually hated touching people, but probably because there was no charm in Lu Li¡¯s eyes, only obvious concern for him. For once, Xuan Sheng did not feel annoyed by Lu Li¡¯s touch.

    ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t touch other people¡¯s faces.¡± Xuan Sheng raised an eyebrow. ¡°Didn¡¯t you listen to what I said yesterday? We¡¯re not the same kind of people.¡±

    At this moment, the elevator door opened. Xuan Sheng protected her with his hand at the side and gestured for Lu Li to go out first.

    Lu Li walked out with a stack of scripts. ¡°I listened, but it doesn¡¯t stop me from liking you. Perhaps I won¡¯t like you anymore one day, but not now.¡±

    Xuan Sheng touched his ear stud. Lu Li was an innocent and stubborn person. He really could not do anything to her. ¡°Alright, as you wish. But I¡¯m going to sleep now. Do you want toe with me?¡±

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes were a little bright, and his words were clearly hinting.

    However, to his surprise, Lu Li was neither angry nor provoked by his words. Lu Li was very calm. ¡°When you like me too, I¡¯ll be with you. You don¡¯t like me now.¡±

    With that, Lu Li carried arge pile of things back to her room.

    ¡°¡­¡± Looking at Lu Li¡¯s departing figure, Xuan Sheng was stunned for once. After a while, a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°Is this girl really stupid or is she pretending to be stupid?¡±

    However, what he did not see was that after Lu Li entered her room, the things in her hand scattered on the ground. She hugged her head angrily and her entire body was as red as a cooked prawn.

    <i>What did I just say?</i>?Lu Li¡¯s ears were burning.

    This was probably what a girl¡¯s heart was like. If she could not see the person she liked, she would miss him. After seeing the person she liked, she would start to let her imagination run wild after saying a few words.

    Lu Li, who had always slept well, could not sleep again. She took her phone and secretly searched for news about Xuan Sheng. In the end, most of the news was negative.

    Lu Li looked at it for a long time before she sessfully lost sleep.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan had just arrived at the set when Lu Li pulled her to the side mysteriously. ¡°Sister Xia, can I ask you a question?¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Lu Li¡¯s eyes and could roughly guess what she wanted to ask. It was nothing more than the young girl being tempted and hesitating.

 Chapter 1078 - CEO Jun is a Peerless Husband

    <h4>Chapter 1078: CEO Jun is a Peerless Husband</h4>

    As expected, Lu Li held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and blinked her long eyshes. ¡°Sister Xia, I saw a lot of news about CEO Xuan yesterday.¡±

    ¡°Mm, there are many negative ones, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan held a small purple and pink warm bag that Jun Shiling had specially prepared for her.

    ¡°But CEO Xuan doesn¡¯t look like the kind of person the news says.¡± Actually, Lu Li didn¡¯t know Xuan Sheng very well herself. She just felt that her heart would beat faster than usual when she saw Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°He has indeed done many bad things.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Lu Li. ¡°He has also hurt many people. This is all Xuan Sheng. However, the Xuan Sheng you know is also him. In this world, there is no absolute ck and white.¡±

    Lu Li nodded as if she understood. Only then did she remember that she had selected a better scriptst night because she could not sleep. She hurriedly handed the script to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I think this is not bad. Take a look. I don¡¯t know much either.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take a look.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s filming progress was fast. In addition, the director had specially focused all her scenes. Now, the filming of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had begun to end.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan sitting in the temple in her pce clothes, Lu Li could not help but sigh.?<i>Sister Xia was really too charming.?</i>

    As a girl, she liked such a woman, let alone Xuan Sheng.

    Lu Li suddenly felt a little depressed. She felt that with such a dazzling light like Xia Wanyuan in front of her, Xuan Sheng would not notice her at all.

    It was too normal for Xuan Sheng to like Xia Wanyuan.

    After filming, Xia Wanyuan saw Lu Li¡¯s disappointed expression and was a little amused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, you¡¯re so beautiful.¡± Lu Li stood up, her eyes filled with admiration and disappointment. ¡°No wonder CEO Xuan likes you so much.¡±

    ......

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and sat under a tree at the side, then waved at Lu Li. ¡°Come here.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sister Xia?¡± Lu Li leaned against Xia Wanyuan and subconsciously leaned on her.

    Lu Li was so envious of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to calm people down. Just as she was about to follow her, she could calm down. This was something she might never have in her life.

    ¡°Are you very envious of me?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Lu Li.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded.

    ¡°I¡¯m very envious of you too.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Lu Li.

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°How is that possible?! What do I have that is worth your envy?¡±

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was a real winner in life. She was beautiful, talented, and peerless on the outside and inside. CEO Jun doted on her so much and had a happy family.

    Unlike her, who knew nothing. She was just a hothead.

    ¡°People don¡¯t suddenly mature.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to pinch a ball of snow, her eyes filled with silence. ¡°Like me, like CEO Jun, like Xuan Sheng. In a ce where no one can see, I went through countless hardships to reach this step.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she turned around and gently patted Lu Li¡¯s head. ¡°But you¡¯re different. You¡¯re still at that age where you¡¯re untainted by the world. There are countless ways in your future. No matter how capable a person is, they can¡¯t have you in your state no matter how much money and energy they spend.¡±

    Lu Li half understood, but she could tell. ¡°Sister Xia, are youforting me? I have my own merits too?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s notfort, it¡¯s the truth.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly and handed the little snowman to Lu Li. ¡°Alright, go to work.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Lu Li smiled at Xia Wanyuan, then ran off to do her work.

    Looking at Lu Li¡¯s bouncing back, Xia Wanyuan felt a little emotional. She had been so ignorant in her previous life. Unfortunately, she was young then and did not know how precious the time was.

    Jun Shiling was reading documents in his office when he suddenly received a WeChat message from Xia Wanyuan.

    He clicked on it.

    Baby:<i>?I think I¡¯m old.?</i>

    Jun Shiling put down the document in his hand and called Xia Wanyuan back. ¡°Are you unhappy with the filming?¡±

    The movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was too close to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous life. Xia Wanyuan would always have all sorts of emotions because she was too immersed in the scene.

    ¡°Am I old?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked again.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling stood up. ¡°Stay on set and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll look for you.¡±

    ¡°No need. I was just saying.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed. She was just sighing. She did not expect Jun Shiling to be so serious.

    ¡°Wait for me.¡± Jun Shiling hung up and picked up the keys to the set.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling appeared in the production team. He strode towards Xia Wanyuan and reached out. ¡°Get up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ced her hand in his and Jun Shiling pulled her up.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re here?¡± the director asked carefully.

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I have something to do, so I¡¯ll take Madam away.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The director nodded repeatedly. Anyway, the filming was over. Xia Wanyuan could go wherever she wanted. Furthermore, even if the filming was notpleted, could he stop Jun Shiling from taking her away?

    Jun Shiling drove Xia Wanyuan to the foot of a mountain outside Beijing. It was quiet here and no one came. It had snowedst night, and now it was white. One could only see the outline of flowers and trees under the snow.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and slowly walked along the path, watching the red plum blossoms by the path.

    Xia Wanyuan had always liked this quiet snow scene. She turned her head. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on her hand. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s wrong today?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan repeated the conversation to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, do you think I¡¯m not young anymore?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her and suddenly raised his hand to knock Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Your thoughts are running wild.¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that when I saw how agile Lu Li was, I felt a little emotional when I thought of myself.¡± Xia Wanyuan touched the ce where Jun Shiling had knocked her. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re hurting me.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my fault,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said, stunning Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What did you do wrong?¡±

    ¡°I was wrong to let you offst night and let you still have the mood to think nonsense.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re annoying.¡± Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised her foot to kick Jun Shiling, but she happened to step on a protruding stone. Her foot slipped, and Jun Shiling hurriedly grabbed her waist. Hey on the snow at the side first and made a human cushion for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan fell into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms with a smile in her eyes. ¡°Serves you right.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I deserve it.¡±

    ¡°Did you fall?¡± Xia Wanyuan said, but she was still worried that Jun Shiling would be stung by a stone.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling was not in a hurry to get up. Hey on the snow and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear eyes. ¡°I have something to tell you.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°With me, you¡¯ll never age.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with sincerity. He smiled. ¡°Do you believe me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nose felt a little sour. Actually, most of the time, she was just suddenly emotional. Perhaps this emotion would pass after she stayed for a few minutes, but Jun Shiling would always treat her little emotions as something very important.

    She nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Then stop letting your imagination run wild.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to grab a handful of snow and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Little friend, do you want to have a snowball fight? I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

 Chapter 1079 - A Mans Mouth, A Lying Ghost

    <h4>Chapter 1079: A Man¡¯s Mouth, A Lying Ghost</h4>

    At the foot of the mountain that was filled with snow, there were only two ck figures.

    Others would never be able to see Jun Shiling, who had always been noble and arrogant, apanying Xia Wanyuan in a snowball fight.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked her finger at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Jun Shiling threw away the snowball in his hand and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, and the snowball hidden in her right hand instantly smashed into Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    Jun Shiling helplessly wiped the snow off his face, took off his scarf, and wrapped it around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red hand. The scarf still had Jun Shiling¡¯s warm body temperature. ¡°Are you happy?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. She had only sighed with emotion. Actually, she would be fine after a period of mediation. Now that she had yed here for so long, no matter how unhappy she was, her mood would be better.

    ¡°Okay, mypany still has some things to settle. Then can you apany me?¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan back.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, but she stood rooted to the ground.

    Jun Shiling turned to take a look, then squatted down and patted his shoulder. ¡°Come up, I¡¯ll carry you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuany on Jun Shiling¡¯s back and he carried her on his back. ¡°Your face will be warmer if you press it against me.¡±

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She tilted her head and pressed her right cheek behind Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. Jun Shiling¡¯s body temperature was high, and it instantly made Xia Wanyuan feel much warmer.

    ¡°CEO Jun,¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly called out to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ......

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head.

    Jun Shiling smiled and did not say anything else. He knew what Xia Wanyuan wanted to say.

    The two of them walked away, leaving a row of shallow footprints on the snow.

    Halfway through their car, Xia Wanyuan received a call from Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan, can I meet you for a while?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and nodded. ¡°Okay, where?¡±

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a sculpture?¡± After Xia Wanyuan hung up, Jun Shiling snorted softly.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was only angry on the surface. She held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°CEO Jun, please send me over.¡±

    ¡°Sure. I¡¯ll wait for you outside. Come out when you¡¯re done.¡±

    ¡°Petty.¡±

    Jun Shiling did notment. If she said he was petty, so be it. Anyway, he could not stand Wei Zimu calling Xia Wanyuan ¡°Sister Wanyuan¡± every day.

    When they arrived at the ce Wei Zimu had mentioned, Xia Wanyuan got out of the car while Jun Shiling stayed in the car.

    Wei Zimu, who had been waiting by the window for a long time, waved at her.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± Wei Zimu was as warm as ever. He had prepared a cup of hot tea for Xia Wanyuan in advance, and there were all sorts of unique snacks piled on the table.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Wei Zimu looked a little sad. He had always smiled, making one feel warm.

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving China.¡± Wei Zimu smiled at Xia Wanyuan. The corners of his lips were clearly curled up, but the corners of his eyes did not change. He looked a little sad. ¡°I¡¯m here to say goodbye to you. In the next month, I¡¯ll hand over the Wei family¡¯s matters.¡±

    ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°To find my brother, Yu Qian.¡± Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan intently, as if he wanted to remember her forever. ¡°We¡¯ve been separated for many years. Now, we¡¯re finally going to reunite.¡±

    Wei Zimu said that they were finally going to reunite, but Xia Wanyuan did not feel any joy on his face. ¡°Then, aren¡¯t youing back to China?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe not.¡± Wei Zimu smiled. He wanted toe back, but it was not up to him to decide if he coulde back.

    ¡°Then...¡± In all fairness, Wei Zimu had treated her extremely well. Now that Wei Zimu was leaving, Xia Wanyuan felt a little ufortable. ¡°I hope you¡¯re safe and healthy.¡±

    This time, Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were really smiling.

    When the others learned that he was leaving, they said a lot of words.

    However, all the flowery words lost their color when Xia Wanyuan said ¡°safe and healthy¡±.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± The corners of Wei Zimu¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°If I still have a chance to return to China, what gift do you want me to bring you?¡±

    After so many years, Wei Zimu had already developed the habit of bringing gifts when he went out.

    ¡°Bring yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked into Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. ¡°I hope you never lose your heart.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°I promise you.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zimu looked out of the window. There was a ck car parked by the roadside.

    A hint of hidden envy appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes. ¡°CEO Jun should be a very good person.¡± <i>Otherwise, he would not have won Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart. </i>

    ¡°Great.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. Her eyes were filled with the warmth of being doted on, making Wei Zimu¡¯s heart ache.

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today. I¡¯ll slowly hand over the Wei family¡¯s matters.¡± Wei Zimu stood up.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and picked up the things Wei Zimu had brought. ¡°Remember to inform me when you¡¯re leaving.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Zimu wanted to say that there was no need to send him off, but he could not help but let him yearn for thest warmth in the world.

    Wei Zimu apanied Xia Wanyuan out until he saw her get into the car before turning to leave.

    ¡°Wei Zimu is leaving.¡± Xia Wanyuan got into the car, her eyes a little disappointed.

    Jun Shiling, who had always been extremely jealous, did not say anything. He only pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and apanied her quietly.

    The news that Wei Zimu was leaving quickly spread in the Wei family. The Wei family, who had been obedient for a few months under his strong control, began to jump around again.

    <i>If Wei Zimu left and Xia Wanyuan had already married into the Jun family, wouldn¡¯t the Wei family be our world?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan had long expected these changes in the Wei family. She called Wei Jin in advance.

    On the phone, Wei Jin¡¯s seemed to be very noisy. Her voice was a little soft. ¡°Cousin, Mu Feng is preparing to be discharged today. After we settle down, I¡¯ll look for you at the manor.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan was a little worried. The Wei family was now in pieces, and the Mu family was also in a mess. Just as the Jun family and the Jiang family were fighting openly and secretly, the current capital was really a mess.

    It was fine if it was just a ball of muddy water. After all, water would clear up one day. She was just afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos in the muddy water.

    Seventh prison,

    Bo Xiaoy on the bed with his legs crossed. As he bit into the dried mango, he made a video call with An Rao, looking very satisfied.

    An Rao touched her stomach, her face filled with unhappiness. Her cheeks bulged slightly. She clearly had an extremely beautiful appearance, but at this moment, she looked cute.

    ¡°Tsk, why is your face so bitter?¡± Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°You don¡¯t look good to begin with. If your face is bitter, you¡¯ll look even uglier.¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s ugly?!¡± An Rao was easily angered by Bo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°Bo Xiao, you¡¯re too much. You didn¡¯t call me for a few days and didn¡¯te back to see me for so long. Now, you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m ugly. Boohoo.¡±

    The more An Rao spoke, the more aggrieved she became. In the end, tears fell as if they were free.

    Bo Xiao had only wanted to tease An Rao, but he did not expect to provoke her to this extent. He panicked. ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong. Can you stop crying? It¡¯s all my fault.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not calling you anymore. I hate you.¡± An Rao was extremely aggrieved.

    ¡°Silly.¡± Bo Xiao could make An Rao cry andugh. ¡°Do you remember the first time we met? At that time, I thought, which youngdy is so good-looking? She¡¯s so beautiful. I must bring her home and make her my wife.¡±

    An Rao was stunned by Bo Xiao¡¯s words. Tears hung on her eyshes. ¡°Then did you deliberately y games with me back then?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Bo Xiao looked pained. ¡°I researched for a day and night to find your game name.¡±

    An Rao snorted softly. ¡°You deserve it.¡±

    Seeing that An Rao had stopped crying, Bo Xiao smiled.

    Actually, he was exaggerating. He did not look for her for a day and night. After all, An Rao¡¯s game name was very easy to find. He casually scrolled through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat Moments and added her.

    However, Bo Xiao would not say this. He even became worse. ¡°Actually, my gaming skills were especially bad in the past. I didn¡¯t like to y games since I was young. Look, I was very good when I brought you to y games, right? Actually, I secretly practiced for a long time. During that time, I didn¡¯t sleep well.¡±

    Bo Xiao had a serious expression and a hint of nostalgia. An Rao immediately believed him.

    However, if An Rao could check Bo Xiao¡¯s game results, she would realize that he had already been a national server Li Bai for more than ten seasons.

    ¡°Baby, to be honest, am I handsome?¡± Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow at An Rao.

    An Rao pursed her lips, but she was still very honest. ¡°You¡¯re okay.¡±

    ¡°Do I have money?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    ¡°Look at me, a top standard tall, rich, and handsome man. I spent so much effort wooing you and cing you in my heart, afraid that you would be cold and hungry. If you weren¡¯t beautiful, would I have put in so much effort?¡± Bo Xiao circled back.

    ¡°So, if I¡¯m not beautiful, you won¡¯t be so good to me, right?¡± An Rao hit Bo Xiao back with a question.

    Bo Xiaoughed. ¡°Baby, that¡¯s not how it¡¯s calcted. In short, you¡¯re the most beautiful! The best in the world!¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao was happy to be coaxed like azy kitten. ¡°When are youing back?¡±

    ¡°Miss me?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± An Rao was stubborn.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡± Bo Xiao hoped that the matter would end early so that he could go back and apany An Rao.

    ¡°Okay ~¡± After being coaxed by Bo Xiao, An Rao returned to her clingy kitten state. ¡°Today, read a bedtime story for our baby.¡±

    ¡°Yes, there was once an elf...¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s voice gradually floated out of the metal window, as if even the cold prison had softened.

 Chapter 1080 - Love Variety Again

    <h4>Chapter 1080: Love Variety Again</h4>

    Although it snowed again in Beijingst night, ording to the calendar, spring had actually begun. It was just that spring in the north always cameter.

    The filming of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had already begun to enter the final stage. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s filming efficiency was high, and she only needed half a day every day toplete the mission given by the director.

    The teachers of Qing University had finally looked forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s return.

    ¡°Aiyo, Professor Xia, if you don¡¯te back soon, the director will jump down from this school building. Do you believe me?¡±

    ¡°Not only the director, but I think I¡¯m going to jump too. There are too many things to do. I¡¯m too busy. Xiao Xia, you¡¯re back. It¡¯s great.¡±

    The teachers in the office were much older than Xia Wanyuan. Now, they looked at her with love and anticipation.

    ¡°Is there anything you need me to do?¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the teachers ced all sorts of research topics in front of her.

    Looking at the pile of books and materials, Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°I have to read slowly.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± The teachers had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reading speed. This little content would probably take a month for others. With Xia Wanyuan, it could be resolved in half a day.

    As expected, once Xia Wanyuan arrived, the missions that they needed to work overtime every day in the past could all bepleted before work ended. The teachers could even leisurely serve a cup of Pu¡¯er tea.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± The head of the literature department took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. ¡°If only there were a few more Xia Wanyuans.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan returned to Qing University, not only was she doted on by the teachers in the office, but she also made the entire school extremely happy. The sses were filled to the brim, and even the number of views of the online sses had broken all sorts of records.

    ......

    Under such influence, even though the humanities of Qing University was very weakpared to Nancheng University, countless outstanding studentspeted to apply for Qing University.

    Although they could only observe the students¡¯ aspirations, the trend had already shown that there would be many more students applying for the college entrance examination this year. The high-quality students would even swarm to Qing University.

    The school administration of Nancheng University had a headache when they saw this number. The principal even flew into a rage in the internal meeting and mmed the documents on the table. ¡°Look at it yourself. How are we going to recruit students this year?! If this continues, not only will Qing University suppress us in science, but the humanities will also rise. There are still more than three months to the college entrance examination. Think of a solution immediately!¡±

    Since the principal had spoken, the people below could only rack their brains to think about enrollment. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s influence was already there. If they wanted to separate the students from her, they could only think of a way from her.

    The members of the admissions office held a meeting overnight and secretly formted an internal confidential document. Then, they began the battle with Qing University.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Over the past few days, there had been a huge piece of news in Beijing and even the entire country.

    The eldest young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Kui, and the genius designer, Zou Man, announced that they were holding a wedding.

    Under the deliberate push of the Jiang family, love stories like Jiang Kui and Zou Man, who could be considered princes and princesses, were pushed to the major media.

    ¡°In the end, he married the girl he had loved since he was eighteen.¡±

    ¡°The love of the crown prince of a top family is actually as long-term as an ordinary person.¡±

    ¡°Behind the genius designer, Zou Man, stood a tall back. The story between them made us believe that love really exists in this world.¡±

    [Ahhh, I believe in love again!! I¡¯m so touched. I¡¯m crying from hiding under the nket at night. What a devoted man.]

    [Zou Man is so amazing. Although she has the love and care of the Jiang family¡¯s crown prince, she¡¯s also very hardworking to be such a powerful designer. I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying.]

    [... I still like Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. CEO Jun looks at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes, unlike these two. They feel like they¡¯re forced together. I¡¯m speechless...]

    As all sorts of articles and news were pushed, Jiang Kui¡¯s affectionate and devoted image as the crown prince of a top family, as well as Zou Man¡¯s character as a genius designer for love, instantly struck everyone¡¯s hearts.

    The shares of the Jiang family rose with the tide. Just this marriage news increased the market value of the Jiang family¡¯s shares by billions.

    Zou Many on the sofa and touched the diamond ring on her index finger that was the size of a pigeon egg. Her eyes were filled with smugness.

    <i>I had finally be the daughter-inw of the Jiang family. What was so amazing about Xia Wanyuan? </i>

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Zou Man stopped moving her hand that was moving the diamond ring. Her eyes were filled with jealousy. She would never forget the day when she was entangled with Jiang Kui. When he was aroused, Jiang Kui subconsciously shouted ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡±.

    <i>What Madam Jun? </i>

    Jiang Kui wanted to step on Jun Shiling, and so did she want to step on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hubby ~¡± Zou Man stood up and twisted towards Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s face was filled with impatience. ¡°Don¡¯te over. Speak.¡±

    A cold smile appeared on Zou Man¡¯s face. She thought to herself that now was not the time for you to think hard to climb into my bed. She rolled her eyes and stood on the spot to discuss her thoughts with Jiang Kui. ¡°Didn¡¯t the news of our marriage increase the value of the shares?¡±

    ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°Hubby ~ I want to be on a love variety show too, okay ~ Didn¡¯t you say that this is the era of poprity?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Kui rejected him. ¡°Remember your identity. You¡¯re no longer the Tom, Dick or Harry outside. You¡¯re now the daughter-inw of the Jiang family. Stop doing these embarrassing things.¡±

    ¡°But didn¡¯t Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan participate too?¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s words made Jiang Kui pause in his actions. Seeing that there was a chance, Zou Man hurriedly leaned forward. ¡°Look, can¡¯t we build our image better by going on one variety show? Besides, if only the two of us could rece Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in everyone¡¯s hearts, that would be great.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯sst sentence finally moved Jiang Kui. Jun Shiling had always been the person he had secretlypared himself to. He wanted to shatter the image of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan as an immortal couple in the hearts of the people.

    Jiang Kui thought for a moment. ¡°Sure, but I have a better idea.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Since we want topete with the two of them, we have topete together. I¡¯ll think of a way to get the two of them involved.¡±

    <i>Jun Shiling liked to create a doting wife image, right? Then I would dote on my wife more than Jun Shiling. </i>

    Jun Shiling had used his rtionship with Xia Wanyuan to increase hismercial value so much, so he had to use the same method topare with Jun Shiling.

    His father said that he was inferior to Jun Shiling every day. He wanted everyone to see who was inferior.

 Chapter 1081 - The Only Customized; Bo Xiao Incident Leaked

    <h4>Chapter 1081: The Only Customized; Bo Xiao Incident Leaked</h4>

    ¡°Hubby, I knew you were the best.¡± Seeing that Jiang Kui had agreed to her suggestion, a look of sess shed across Zou Man¡¯s eyes.

    Hearing Zou Man¡¯s address, Jiang Kui frowned. However, he and Zou Man were already husband and wife, so it was normal for her to call him husband. Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes flickered and he reminded Zou Man, ¡°Don¡¯t provoke Xia Wanyuan. You¡¯re not her match.¡±

    At the mention of Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Kui could not help but look forward to her. <i>It would be great if such a woman could be my wife, unlike Zou Man, who only knew how to scheme. </i>

    ¡°Jiang Kui.¡± Zou Man naturally saw the disdain and yearning for Xia Wanyuan in Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes. She stopped calling him husband and called him by his name. ¡°Don¡¯t forget, I¡¯m the legitimate wife of your Jiang family.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Kui did not want to argue with Zou Man anymore. He waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m going to be busy. Go out.¡±

    Zou Man snorted coldly and walked out of the room.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Jun Corporation¡¯s office, Jun Shiling was seriously reviewing documents. Not far away, Xia Wanyuan was lying on the sofa reading.

    After meeting Wei Zimu, Jun Shiling wanted to return to work, so Xia Wanyuan followed.

    The twilight deepened, and the setting sun dyed the sky red.

    Xia Wanyuan read the book and her gaze shifted to Jun Shiling.

    Although they had been together for a long time, Xia Wanyuan was still attracted by Jun Shiling¡¯s serious work.

    ¡°If you look at me again, don¡¯t say that you¡¯re tiredter,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said, but he did not look up.

    ......

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze, but not long after, she turned back.

    Jun Shiling finally looked up and his cold gaze met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smiling eyes. ¡°Hubby, still has a lot of things to do here. I don¡¯t have time to satisfy you now. Let¡¯s talk tonight.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling helplessly. ¡°Is it illegal to look?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll break thew.¡± Jun Shiling smiled.

    ¡°You look really good working in a suit.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not want to discuss a dangerous topic with Jun Shiling. Otherwise, Jun Shiling would not be able to control himselfter. She praised Jun Shiling sincerely.

    ¡°Then look.¡± Being praised by Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling was in a good mood. He stopped teasing Xia Wanyuan and lowered his head to continue working.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him for a while and suddenly took the blueprint on the table and began to draw.

    The sunpletely set and the moon gradually climbed up the branches. Jun Shiling finally finished handling all the documents for the day, but Xia Wanyuan was still drawing something on the paper.

    Jun Shiling stood up and walked behind Xia Wanyuan. After looking at her for a while, his eyes gradually darkened. ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°Clothes.¡± Xia Wanyuan drew thest line on the paper. ¡°Do they look good?¡±

    On the paper were all sorts of suits. Other than the orthodox ck, there were other styles. Even though it was only on the paper, Jun Shiling was very sure that this would look good on him.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home. I¡¯ll send it to Xiu Yi¡¯s clothing department and let them make a few sets tomorrow to see the effect.¡± Xia Wanyuan put away the blueprint and extended her arm to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did not ask further and brought Xia Wanyuan back to the manor.

    Just as she arrived at the entrance of the manor, Uncle Wang weed her. ¡°Madam, Miss Wei Jin is here. She doesn¡¯t look too good.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±

    In the living room, Wei Jin sat on the sofa with her back straight. Her aura was indestructible. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had returned, Wei Jin smiled. ¡°Cousin.¡±

    ¡°Mm, why are you here alone sote? Where¡¯s Mu Feng?¡±

    ¡°Mu Feng has just been discharged and is resting at home.¡±

    ¡°Then let¡¯s talk in the study,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she threw away Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and reached out to Wei Jin.

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling looked down at his hand and sighed silently in his heart.

    ¡°What? The Wei family?¡± In the study, after hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, Wei Jin¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Cousin, I can¡¯t. I don¡¯t have the ability.¡±

    Ever since she was young, Wei Zhong had nurtured her into ady who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He had never taught her how to control the family.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan actually wanted her to control the Wei family. <i>How could I do that? </i>

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer me now.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°Think about it first.¡±

    Facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s trusting gaze, Wei Jin nodded. ¡°Alright then.¡±

    ¡°Why? Is Mu Feng relieved that you came alone?¡± After talking about the Wei family, Xia Wanyuan cared about Wei Jin¡¯s situation.

    Speaking of Mu Feng, Wei Jin hesitated for a moment, then hid her unnatural expression and shook her head. ¡°He was resting when I left. He had just been discharged and his condition is not very good. I just wanted toe and see you, then I have to go back and take care of him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± During this period of time, Wei Jin had been busy taking care of Mu Feng and rarely saw her. Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin chatted in the study for a long time before sending Wei Jin back to the Mu family.

    However, when Wei Jin¡¯s car arrived at the entrance of the Mu family¡¯s vi, the guard opened the door slowly.

    The chauffeur honked several times, but the door was still closed. The chauffeur got out of the car in confusion and looked at the guard room. The two guards were both there. They pretended not to hear and did not open the door.

    ¡°Hey.¡± The chauffeur patted the metal door. ¡°Open the door. I¡¯m sending your Young Madam home.¡±

    The guard looked up. ¡°Young Madam? Which Young Madam? We don¡¯t have a Young Madam here.¡±

    The chauffeur was confused and ran back to tell Wei Jin. Wei Jin nced at the closed door. ¡°Thank you for sending me back. Go back. I¡¯ll go in myself.¡±

    The driver felt that something was wrong, but as a driver, he could not criticize others¡¯ matters. Furthermore, his wife and child were still waiting at home. The driver replied and drove away.

    After the Jun family¡¯s car disappeared into the night, Wei Jin walked to the door. ¡°Open the door.¡±

    ¡°Hey, is this Miss Wei?¡± The guard ced his legs on the table and did not move. As he chewed the betel nut in his mouth, he nced at Wei Jin with a naughty smile in his eyes.

    ¡°I said open the door.¡± Wei Jin frowned.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The guard tilted his head. ¡°Madam has instructed that the world is not peaceful now. The door will be closed after ten in the evening. It¡¯s already past time. We¡¯re following orders. Miss Wei, don¡¯t make things difficult for us.¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°Mu Feng will wake up at eleven after drinking the medicine. If he doesn¡¯t let me in, who do you think Mu Feng will look for when he needs meter?¡±

    The guard was stunned for a moment and subconsciously sat up. However, when he thought of the generous reward Zhang Yi had promised, he returned to his sloppy appearance. ¡°That¡¯s not something us servants can decide. This Mu family is still controlled by Madam, right?¡±

    The good education she had received since she was young made Wei Jin not show any emotions even when she was bullied by the guard. ¡°Do you think Zhang Yi will offend Mu Feng for you tomorrow morning? Between offending Mu Feng and firing you, which one will she choose?¡±

    The guard gradually stopped chewing the betel nut and looked at Wei Jin, who was standing at the door.

    <i>Mu Feng liked this Wei Jin. We had heard some news. If Mu Feng pursued the matter, she would definitely find a scapegoat. Wasn¡¯t that me? </i>

    The guard put down his leg and opened the door for Wei Jin. ¡°Miss Wei, please.¡±

    Wei Jin adjusted her clothes and walked in without looking at the fawning guard.

    She and Mu Feng lived in a separate building. Now, other than the room Mu Feng was in, the entire building was dark.

    Wei Jin went forward and pushed the door. As she had expected, the door was closed.

    The night in the north was bone-chilling. The coldness on the door crawled from Wei Jin¡¯s fingertips to her heart. Wei Jin took out her phone and looked at the time.

    There were still ten minutes to eleven in the evening. Mu Feng was about to wake up.

    Mu Feng had just been discharged and had not recovered in all aspects. Wei Jin did not want him to worry. She took a few steps back and looked up.

    Opposite Mu Feng¡¯s building was the main building of the Mu family¡¯s mansion, where Mu Ting and Zhang Yi lived.

    As Zhang Yi put on a facial mask, she looked at Wei Jin, who was climbing up the air conditioner pipe to the second floor, with a mocking expression.

    Mu Ting walked over and followed Zhang Yi¡¯s gaze. A hint of emotion shed across his eyes. ¡°This woman is great in all ways, but she shouldn¡¯t let Mu Feng like her.¡±

    Mu Feng and he had never had a harmonious rtionship. Now, he even wanted to snatch the Mu family¡¯s power from him for a woman. Mu Feng simply did not care about him, the head of the Mu family.

    <i>I¡¯m still alive! Furthermore, I¡¯m in my prime. Even if I wanted to pass the power of the Mu Feng, it should be at least twenty yearster. Now, Mu Feng had begun to fight with me for this woman abandoned by the Wei family. Howughable.</i>

    ¡°Hubby ~ Old Master is biased towards Mu Feng. When Mu Feng recovers, will you have to give up your position?¡± Zhang Yi leaned on Mu Ting¡¯s shoulder and stroked Mu Ting¡¯s chest with his painted fingertips.

    ¡°Impossible!¡± Mu Ting¡¯s voice suddenly rose. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhang Yi¡¯s stomach unhappily. ¡°If your stomach was more hardworking, would I still have to worry about Mu Feng?!¡±

    His father-son rtionship with Mu Feng had long disappeared. If not for the fact that Mu Feng was his only son, he would have chased Mu Feng out long ago.

    The skin on Zhang Yi¡¯s face trembled. She did not even have the intention to seduce Mu Ting. Of course she wanted to get pregnant, but she could not. What could she do?

    At 10: 58 p.m., Wei Jin climbed to the balcony on the second floor. She took out a tissue and carefully wiped the gray stains on her body. Then, she tidied her appearance and pushed open the door to enter.

    Just as she walked to the bed, Mu Feng woke up.

    When he opened his eyes and saw Wei Jin, who was as moving as the moon, a smile appeared in Mu Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ah Jin, have you always been here?¡±

    ¡°No, I went to visit Cousin. I just came back not long ago.¡± Wei Jin walked to the side and poured a ss of water for Mu Feng.

    Mu Feng reached out to take it and touched Wei Jin¡¯s fingertips. He wrapped his hand around Wei Jin¡¯s. ¡°Why is it so cold?¡±

    Wei Jin struggled unnaturally. ¡°I already said that I just came back from outside and haven¡¯t had time to wash up.¡±

    Mu Feng lifted the nket. ¡°Thene and warm yourself.¡±

    Wei Jin looked at the worried Mu Feng, and the corners of her eyes turned red. However, she quickly restrained her emotions and did not let Mu Feng notice her loss ofposure.

    She ced the cup aside, then took off her coat andy down.

    The nket was warm and instantly melted the coldness in her body. Wei Jin took the initiative to burrow into Mu Feng¡¯s arms. Mu Feng smiled and hugged her tighter.

    The next day, the rm rang. Jun Shiling was about to get up when Xia Wanyuan pulled him back.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling smiled and leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck, sniffing her fragrance. ¡°It¡¯s only morning. Madam, your appetite has not been small recently.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to argue with Jun Shiling about this. ¡°Lie down for a while more. You can get upter.¡±

    She had someone rush to make a sample overnight and they would probably send it over in the morning. She wanted to wait for the clothes to be sent over before getting up.

    ¡°Sure, but I can¡¯t sleep. I want to find something to do.¡± The fragrance on Xia Wanyuan tempted Jun Shiling.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could reject him, Jun Shiling had already leaned over.

    ¡°.......¡±

    After some time, Uncle Wang carefully knocked on the door. ¡°Madam, someone brought you something.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°Go get it.¡±

    Jun Shiling got out of bed and opened the door. Uncle Wang handed a box to Jun Shiling with an unnatural expression. His wrinkled face seemed to be inexplicably red. ¡°Someone just sent this over.¡±

    ¡°Got it. Thank you, Uncle Wang.¡± Jun Shiling took it and closed the door.

    As Uncle Wang walked downstairs, he silently calcted. <i>Seeing how much Young Master doted on Madam, and the two of them had been together for so long, why was there still no movement in Madam¡¯s stomach? </i>

    Halfway there, Uncle Wang suddenly stopped and his old face wasplicated. ¡°Could there be a problem with Young Master? No, no.¡±

    <i>However, it was time to make more soup for Young Master so that there would be a cute little princess in the manor as soon as possible. </i>

    In the bedroom, Jun Shiling had already changed into the suit that Xia Wanyuan had personally designed. It was different from the ck that Jun Shiling was used to wearing. This time, Xia Wanyuan had buried some dark blue stripes in it. There were dark golden lines on the sleeves, and they could be vaguely seen when he turned around.

    Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion team was top-notch and hadpleted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design 100%. The perfect design and Jun Shiling¡¯s perfect figure stunned Xia Wanyuan for a moment.

    ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. She pointed at another box. ¡°Look at that.¡±

    Jun Shiling opened the box. Inside was a coat of the same color as the clothes he was wearing, but it was a woman¡¯s. The man¡¯s suit was noble, and the woman¡¯s coat was elegant. They matched.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I want to give you a gift.¡± Xia Wanyuan gestured for Jun Shiling to help her put on her clothes.

    ¡°What gift?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll knowter.¡± Xia Wanyuan kept him in suspense.

    The two of them woke upte and dawdled. When they went downstairs, it was almost noon.

    Looking at the strange soup on the table, Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. She was about to take out a spoon to try when Uncle Wang stopped her.

    ¡°Madam, this soup is for Young Master. Drink the pork ribs soup. I¡¯ll scoop it for you.¡±

    Beside him, Jun Shiling looked at the soup that was filled with the smell of herbs and his face darkened.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan did not understand at first, she still understood when she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s dark expression. She could not help butugh.

    Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°Laugh again.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan waved her hand, the smile in her eyes not dissipating at all. ¡°I¡¯m not, I¡¯m not.¡±

    ¡°Take it away,¡± Jun Shiling shouted. The servants hurriedly removed the soup.

    Until Xia Wanyuan was sent to the school gate, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression did not improve.

    ¡°Calm down, CEO Jun. It¡¯s enough that I know you¡¯re fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan suppressed herughter.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you to the ssroom.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan with a frown.

    Thest time Shen Xiu came to check, there was nothing wrong with his and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bodies, but he did not know why there were no children.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you just send me here?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. <i>Didn¡¯t he always send me to the school gate in the past?</i>

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly and got out of the car. He held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked towards the school building.

    Halfway there, Xia Wanyuan suddenly remembered that the two of them were wearing couple outfits she had designed.

    Although the students of Qing University knew that Jun Shiling was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband, Jun Shiling rarely appeared. This time, his appearance naturally caused all sorts ofmotion.

    Instantly, from the school forum to Weibo, everyone knew that

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan hade to Qing University in matching clothes!

    [This dress is so beautiful!! I want to wear the same one as Xia Wanyuan!! I¡¯m a rich woman, I¡¯m willful.]

    [... The word richdy in front made me cry. Not only do I not have the same husband as Xia Wanyuan, but I also don¡¯t have the same clothes as Xia Wanyuan. It¡¯s too tragic. Is there anyone worse than me?]

    [ Uh... Go take a look at Xiu Yi¡¯s official website... Even rich women can¡¯t buy the same model. ]

    Everyone touched Xiu Yi¡¯s official website to take a look.

    The website specially opened a special space for its subsidiary brand, ¡°JX¡±.

    It was noted that the subsidiary brand was personally established by Xia Wanyuan as the only men¡¯s clothing brand under Xiu Yi.

    However, this men¡¯s clothing brand would not be sold to the public because it was the only custom-made one.

    Everyone knew very well who the only person who could get customization was.

    [Today is also a day to eat lemons. I cried.]

    [A top designer only designs male clothes for one person. Immortal love.]

    [I didn¡¯t expect Xia Wanyuan to be an extremely romantic person. Sigh, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll ever meet such a man in my life.]

    Just as everyone was watching the gossip excitedly,

    A piece of society news quietly climbed onto the trending list. ¡°The country broke arge-scale human smuggling case and saved thousands of people.¡±

    At first, everyone thought that they had seen wrongly. <i>What was going on? Thousands of people? Were we living in the old society? Now that it was so advanced, why would such a case appear? </i>

    Everyone was discussing. At this moment, an unknown Weibo ount quietly exposed, ¡°It¡¯s said that An Rao¡¯s husband, Bo Xiao, is also involved in this case. However, Bo Xiao is not the captor, but the captured.¡±

 Chapter 1082 - The Princess Enraged; Face-Slapping Madness

    <h4>Chapter 1082: The Princess Enraged; Face-pping Madness</h4>

    As An Rao¡¯s husband, Bo Xiao¡¯s poprity was not low. Their godly love had always been the focus of everyone¡¯s gossip.

    Everyone had seen on the news that Bo Xiao was a senior officer. Now that they saw this revtion, they subconsciously felt that it was fake.<i> After all, if such a high-level person colluded with the enemy, how much damage would it cause to the country? </i>

    [ It¡¯s so fake to report a dragon walking. Others are fighting a bloody battle at the front line, but you¡¯re spreading rumors behind. Isn¡¯t this too much? ]

    [Doesn¡¯t anyone care? Shouldn¡¯t such a marketing ount that spread rumors about a general be arrested?]

    Everyone¡¯s protest instantly drowned thements section like a tide. An Rao¡¯s fans tried their best to protect Bo Xiao.

    However, the informant quickly posted another post. Seeing this post, everyone was stunned.

    This was a video taken secretly. In the video, Bo Xiao was handcuffed and being escorted into the car by armed personnel. The scene changed. At the entrance of the seventh prison, Bo Xiao was being brought in.

    ¡°Hehe, you all say that I¡¯m spreading rumors, so I¡¯ll let you see the evidence. What general? Who knows how he got his rank? Let me exin. The seventh prison is where serious criminals are imprisoned. I don¡¯t need to think to know that Bo Xiao hasmitted a huge crime.¡±

    Theizens who were trying their best to protect Bo Xiao were dumbfounded. An Rao¡¯s fans were also stunned. However, what they were most worried about was not Bo Xiao, but the pregnant An Rao.

    <i>Did An Rao know about this? What would happen if she knew?</i>

    When the manager saw this news, she was so frightened that she rolled and crawled into An Rao¡¯s house.

    Seeing that An Rao was not ying with her phone but doing pregnant yoga, the manager¡¯s heart rxed. She walked over. ¡°Ancestor, where¡¯s your phone?¡±

    ¡°On the sofa. What¡¯s wrong?¡± An Rao¡¯s stomach was already six to seven months old and was already bulging. She tried her best to be careful.

    ......

    ¡°I changed your old phone for you. Use this. The phone has radiation and it¡¯s not good for the fetus. When you want to video call Bo Xiao, I¡¯ll project it onto the television,¡± the manager said and walked over to put An Rao¡¯s phone away.

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao¡¯s phone also had radiation on the baby, so she listened to her manager. However, seeing her manager¡¯s flustered expression, An Rao felt a little strange.

    The manager packed her luggage and stayed beside An Rao, taking care of her in all aspects and isting her from the news of the outside world.

    At night, An Rao leaned on the bed and read the baby a bedtime story. Then, she suddenly looked at her manager. ¡°Sister Liu, can you help me cook a bowl of noodles? I¡¯m a little hungry.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The manager touched the phone in her pocket and nodded. ¡°Do you want to put eggs in it?¡±

    A smile appeared on An Rao¡¯s face. ¡°I want two eggs. One for the baby and me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the kitchen, the water had already boiled and was bubbling. The manager hummed and was about to put noodles in the pot when she suddenly thought of something and paused in her actions of picking up the noodles.

    ¡°Oh sh*t.¡± The manager threw away the noodles in her hand and ran to the bedroom.

    However, it was toote.

    The television had already been switched to the entertainment television channel. The beautiful host was broadcasting today¡¯s major events in the entertainment industry.

    On the television, Bo Xiao was wearing handcuffs and walking into the prison.

    The manager hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the remote control. ¡°An Rao, don¡¯t think too much. Didn¡¯t you call Bo Xiao a few days ago? How can he look like he¡¯s in jail? Someone must have found a simr person to spread rumors.¡±

    An Rao allowed her manager to take the remote control away. She looked at the television screen in a daze, and her mind seemed to have been emptied. There were countless roars in her ears.

    During her conversation with Bo Xiao recently, she kept feeling that something was wrong, but Bo Xiao covered it up.

    Seeing this scene now, everything seemed to be connected.

    <i>Why had Bo Xiao been calling me in the same scene for months? Why was Bo Xiao always unwilling to show me his room? Why did Bo Xiao always call me at a fixed time and could not be contacted at all?</i>

    There was an exnation for everything, because he was in prison.

    ¡°An Rao, don¡¯t think too much. Really, how is that possible?¡± The manager stepped forward tofort An Rao.

    The next second, An Rao fainted on the bed.

    ¡°An Rao!! An Rao!!¡± The manager shouted An Rao¡¯s name in fear. As she supported her, she called the ambnce.

    The ambnce arrived quickly. The doctor moved An Rao to the bed and the manager followed anxiously. ¡°Doctor, is she okay?¡±

    ¡°She panicked. We still need to go to the hospital for a deeper test.¡± The doctor hung an oxygen mask on An Rao.

    ¡°Oh my god, what should we do?¡± The manager was about to die of anxiety. She suddenly thought of Xia Wanyuan and hurriedly took out An Rao¡¯s phone to call her.

    Halfway through her meal, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood up.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s suddenly serious expression.

    ¡°An Rao fainted. She¡¯s in the hospital.¡± Xia Wanyuan was busy today and had not seen the news. She did not know what had happened for the time being. She only heard her manager asking her for help anxiously.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Jun Shiling put down his chopsticks, took a shirt from the side, and draped it over Xia Wanyuan. He pulled her hand and walked out.

    By the time they rushed to the hospital, An Rao had already woken up under the doctor¡¯s treatment. The manager sat beside her and came out anxiously in her slippers. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, she hurriedly weed her. ¡°Miss Xia, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°Go back first. You¡¯ve worked hard. Leave this to us.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao. An Rao¡¯s eyes were open, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The manager was also worried about An Rao, but she believed that Xia Wanyuan was much more capable than her and would definitely take good care of An Rao. After greeting An Rao, she left in peace.

    ¡°An Rao.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat by the bed and covered An Rao¡¯s hand.

    An Rao finally looked at Xia Wanyuan, as if she had seen someone she could rely on. The corners of An Rao¡¯s lips curled up and tears flowed down. She grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand with tears in her eyes. ¡°Yuan Yuan, tell me, is it true? I only believe you.¡±

    Looking at An Rao¡¯s heartbroken expression, Xia Wanyuan could not bear to see her like this, but she had never lied. In the end, she could only nod. ¡°Bo Xiao is in prison, but it¡¯s not what the outside world says.¡±

    An Rao knew that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had internal news. She wiped her tears. ¡°Then will Bo Xiaoe back?¡±

    ¡°He will.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a tissue and wiped An Rao¡¯s tears. ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad. Let Bo Xiao call you tomorrow, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao did not listen to anyone except Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thene back to the manor with us. I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan seemed not to be anxious about anything. Her calm appearance gradually calmed An Rao down.

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, her eyes filled with dependence.

    Jun Shiling contacted a special medical car to send An Rao back to the manor. Uncle Wang had already tidied up the guest room when he received the notice.

    ¡°Is the oue of Bo Xiao¡¯s punishment out?¡± While An Rao was washing up, Xia Wanyuan secretly asked Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Not yet. It¡¯s moreplicated.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was a little serious.

    Jun Shiling knew Bo Xiao¡¯s true nature. He had yed along and lured the enemy in, sessfully facilitating this arrest.

    However, his actions had indeed vited the rules. Furthermore, the forces in the southwest were too difficult to deal with.

    They had been in the southwest for a long time. This time, they were forcefully reorganized. Everyone was angry and did not dare to re up because of the pressure.

    They did not dare to attack Jun Shiling, so they could only hold on to Bo Xiao¡¯s matter and insist that Bo Xiao had colluded with the enemy. It was very difficult to stop the oue of Bo Xiao¡¯s handling.

    ¡°I have an idea.¡± Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve.

    Jun Shiling turned around. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned over and whispered a few words into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. A glint shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He smiled and tapped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nose. ¡°As expected of the Queen. Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll sleep with An Rao today.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jun Shiling took half a step back and tapped his right cheek. ¡°Give me some benefits.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and kissed him, her dimples appearing. ¡°Thank you for your cooperation, CEO Jun.¡±

    After kissing him, Xia Wanyuan wanted to retreat, but Jun Shiling grabbed her waist. ¡°I¡¯ll cooperate with you today. I hope Madam can cooperate with me next time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stepped on Jun Shiling¡¯s foot, her eyebrows dyed red. ¡°Jun Shiling, think of something else.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± With a warm and soft girl in his arms, who would have the mood to think about anything else? Jun Shiling smiled and let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°Alright, go. I have to go to the study to busy myself for a while.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan entered the bedroom. An Rao was sitting on the bed waiting for her. Her palm-sized face had a hint of pity. ¡°Yuan Yuan,e quickly.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took off her shoes and got into bed. An Rao held her arm. ¡°Yuan Yuan, Bo Xiao will be fine, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked An Rao¡¯s hair. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to say anything else, but Bo Xiao¡¯s life isn¡¯t in danger.¡±

    Now that the matter was not clear, she could not guarantee the oue, but Bo Xiao¡¯s life was not in danger.

    An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm tightly. She would believe what Xia Wanyuan said.

    ¡°Alright, sleep. It¡¯ste.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to dim the lights in the room and pulled An Rao into the nket.

    ¡°Okay, Yuan Yuan. Thank you.¡± An Rao leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re good. You¡¯re always here when I¡¯m sad.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Goodnight.¡±

    ¡°Good night.¡±

    The night gradually darkened. Beside Xia Wanyuan, An Rao gradually fell asleep.

    However, on the Inte, the topic of ¡°An Rao being hospitalized in aa¡± continued to ferment.

    Manyizens in Beijing Hospital came out to expose that they had seen An Rao being sent over in an ambnce at night. There were also many photos as evidence.

    Looking at that familiar side profile and the manager beside the bed, the fans¡¯ hearts were about to break.

    [Boohoo, is An Rao okay? Oh my god.]

    [So does this indirectly confirm that something really happened to Bo Xiao? An Rao was probably kept in the dark in the past until she saw the news this time, so she couldn¡¯t take it anymore? I knew it. That Bo Xiao doesn¡¯t look like a good person.]

    [ Idiot in front, why aren¡¯t you sleeping in the middle of the night, yet you¡¯re ying ament for yourself? Are you a judge? Why are you so capable? There¡¯s no conclusion to the matter. Your gloating face is tooughable. ]

    In the middle of the night, An Rao¡¯s fans could not sleep because of this news. Many of them did not sleep the entire night, wanting to hear that An Rao was safe.

    An Rao woke up and saw the message from her manager. Only then did she know about the fermentation of the matter online. She hurriedly went on Weibo and reported to everyone that she was safe.

    @ An Rao: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. Yuan Yuan will take care of me. The child and I are fine.¡±

    It was apanied by an early picture of steaming crab roe buns and thick corn porridge. It looked very appetizing.

    The fans who had been waiting the entire night were relieved andforted An Rao in thements.

    However, an extremely eye-catchingment was pushed to the top of the trending list.

    [Hehe, her husband is already in prison, but she still has the mood to eat such a good breakfast. As expected, the love in the past was fake. The two of them are a perfect match. One is treason, and the other is hypocritical.]

    The fans were almost angered to death by thisment. They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight her.

    Unexpectedly, before the fans could start scolding, a familiar ount appeared.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°The Inte is not awless ce.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had always been very cold in front of everyone. This was the first time everyone had seen her publicly scold someone.

    [ Boohoo, in my lifetime, I¡¯ve seen Xia Wanyuan scold others. I¡¯m in love. ]

    [Thank you, Xia Wanyuan, for taking such good care of our An Rao. Please don¡¯t make her too sad.]

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan posted thisment, the strangement called ¡°Mu Mu is Light¡± was deleted by the Weibo administrator.

    In fact, because there were too manyments insulting An Rao in this ount, the Weibo administrator had banned this ount.

    Looking at the muted notification that popped up on her phone, An Lin threw her phone aside hatefully. However, when she thought of the news of Bo Xiao being caught on Weibo, An Lin¡¯s face was filled with gloating smiles.

    ¡°Serves you right!¡± An Lin sneered. ¡°If I don¡¯t live well, don¡¯t even think about living well. I thought the man you married was very good. He¡¯s just a jailbird.¡±

    There was a knock on the door. An Lin threw away her phone and opened the door. It was Mother An. She looked much more haggard now.

    ¡°Linlin, you haven¡¯t been home in a long time. I came to visit you, okay?¡± Ever since Mother An had a terminal illness and knew that her days were numbered, for some reason, she had been especially greedy for family these days. From time to time, she would think ofing to visit An Lin.

    ¡°Do you think I can live well?¡± An Lin let her hair down and rolled her eyes. The bastard in her stomach was constantly reminding her of what had happened to her, and she no longer had any mood to please Mother An.

    ¡°This is the soup I made. Rest up.¡± Mother An carried the soup box and staggered into the house.

    ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me. I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Mother An was about to step in when An Lin closed the door. The closed door was only a centimeter away from the tip of Mother An¡¯s nose.

    Looking at the closed door, Mother An was a little sad.

    She had been domineering her entire life. When she was old and had a terminal illness, her days were numbered, she did not have anyone by her side. Even her adopted daughter, whom she had doted on her entire life, was unwilling to treat her well.

    Mother An carried the soup box and returned the way she came. She met a mother and daughter who were talking andughing. Mother An was stunned on the spot. She waited for the mother and daughter to leave before walking forward again.

    Mother An thought for a while and took out her phone to call An Rao.

    The call was quickly connected. Mother An called out very gently, ¡°Daughter, when are youing home? I¡¯ll make your favorite chicken soup.¡±

    An Rao was a little stunned by Mother An¡¯s sudden mother-daughter rtionship. ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡±

    Mother An¡¯s voice was filled with tears. ¡°I know I was wrong. I¡¯m old and sick now. I know I shouldn¡¯t have treated you like that in the past. I¡¯m begging you. Come back and visit me. Just treat it asing back to see me for thest time, okay?¡±

    Even though An Rao was extremely disappointed in Mother An, she was still a mother who had given birth to her. Hearing her cry on the phone, An Rao felt ufortable. ¡°I¡¯m pregnant. I can¡¯t take the ne.¡±

    Mother An only wanted to have a confidant by her side now, so she could not care less. ¡°Then take the high-speed rail. I¡¯ll buy you a ticket. Just tomorrow, okay?¡±

    The pity in An Rao¡¯s heart disappeared. ¡°High-speed rail? Do you know how long it takes to get there from Beijing? Have you thought about my safety at all? Have you thought about my child¡¯s safety?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Mother An wanted to exin, but An Rao had already hung up.

    Listening to the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Mother An looked angry.

    <i>I did not give birth to An Lin. It was fine if An Lin did not want to take care of me, but An Rao came from my stomach. If I wanted An Rao to take care of me, An Rao had toe back! </i>

    In prison, Bo Xiao quickly learned of the leak of the incident online. He was worried about An Rao and hurriedly called her.

    ¡°Hello.¡± An Rao appeared in the video. She looked well, but the corners of her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had just cried.

    ¡°Baby, I¡¯m fine. Look, I can call you every day, right?¡± Bo Xiao blinked at An Rao, wanting to make her happy.

    It was fine if Bo Xiao did not smile, but when he did, An Rao wanted to cry even more. ¡°Bo Xiao, I miss you.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s words made Bo Xiao¡¯s heart clench. ¡°I miss you too. Wait for me, okay?¡±

    An Rao nodded, the tears on her eyshes trembling.

    ¡°Then don¡¯t be sad because of thements online. You¡¯re in the entertainment industry. You know that thements online are mixed. Ignore them.¡± Bo Xiao was worried that An Rao¡¯s emotions would be affected by the variousments online.

    An Rao lowered her eyes. ¡°But they¡¯re not right.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°I hate it when they say that your identity was obtained through improper means.¡± An Rao looked very sad. ¡°You protected the country and them so diligently. What right do they have to say that?¡±

    The only time An Rao hade into contact with Bo Xiao¡¯s working environment was when she went to Continent F to look for him.

    mes of war flew, and guns were ruthless.

    She had watched Bo Xiao walk into the fire alone to protect the confidential documents. She had watched Bo Xiao and hisrades build a steel wall for the country behind them with their flesh and blood.

    The mission was so thrilling, but in Bo Xiao¡¯s long career, this was only one of the insignificant times.

    Bo Xiao was only in his twenties, but he had grown into a general in China.

    Among them, An Rao did not dare to imagine how many times Bo Xiao had crawled out of the Grim Reaper¡¯s mouth and how many times he had to enter a hail of bullets to obtain such honor.

    However, all of this became improper means in the mouths of thoseizens.

    An Rao was too sad.

    Bo Xiao was stunned. He did not expect An Rao to be sad because of this. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°Silly, look at me.¡±

    An Rao looked up and stared straight at Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao was not angry at thesements. Instead, he was very calm. There was a deep light in his eyes. ¡°Feeling wronged for me?¡±

    An Rao nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°What about you? What do you think of me?¡±

    An Rao¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°You¡¯re the best hero.¡±

    The smile in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes deepened. ¡°Do you remember what I once said to you? I¡¯ll protect you the way I protect the country.

    In my heart, protecting the country is protecting you. As long as you think I¡¯m a hero, I¡¯ll never feel wronged.¡±

    Tears fell from An Rao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°So, stop crying, okay?¡± Bo Xiao wanted to help An Rao wipe her tears, but he had no choice. He could only look from afar. ¡°If you give birth to an ugly child in the future, will it be your fault or mine?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s your fault. You¡¯re the one who gave birth to an ugly child.¡± An Rao was sessfully amused by Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Bo Xiao smiled and continued An Rao¡¯s words. ¡°What did you eat tonight? Tell me?¡±

    An Rao obediently reported to Bo Xiao.

    Not far away, Xia Wanyuan looked over and smiled.

    As expected, no matter how many people persuaded An Rao, it could notpare to a call from Bo Xiao. Only Bo Xiao could make An Rao smile.

    ¡°Are you still sleeping with An Rao tonight?¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder and turned to walk upstairs. Xia Wanyuan called out to him in confusion, ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Go and urge them to hurry up and let Bo Xiao back.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s words sessfully amused Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Wasn¡¯t it just letting him sleep for a few days? Was there a need?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Before Bo Xiao¡¯s matter was over, a huge piece of news swept everyone¡¯s eyes again.

    Ever since the love variety show that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had been onst time became popr on the Inte, love and marriage programs had appeared like mushrooms after the rain.

    All sorts of on-screen couples used this trend to be popr. Among these many programs, there was a variety show called ¡°Leisure Life¡± that was the most popr.

    This variety show specially invited popr couples and couples to discuss the meaning of marriage with the audience by recording their daily interactions.

    This program had been very popr since it was established. However, this time, when it announced itstest guest, it instantly caused a heated discussion on the Inte.

    Because the guests this time were Jiang Kui and Zou Man, who were famous for their love.

    [666666, to be able to invite Young Master Jiang, this production team is amazing.]

    [Ahhh, I¡¯m so looking forward to it. I really want to know how Jiang Kui and Zou Man usually get along. Immortal love, immortal couple.]

    [Let me say something silently. I¡¯m already very happy to see Jiang Kui and Zou Man, this immortal couple. However, I still want to pray for another miracle. If the guests can add Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯m willing to lose twenty pounds!]

    [The person in front, I¡¯m looking forward to what you say too, but it should be impossible. Boohoo, if these two couples can really work together, then the dog food will feed them to death!]

    Because of theizens¡¯ suggestion, in the end, arge number of people with the same thoughts as her scrolled through thements below, hoping that the production team would invite Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    Everyone only wanted to vent their hopes, but not long after, the production team¡¯s official Weibo replied.

    @ Leisure Life: ¡°Thank you for your enthusiastic discussion. The production team will adopt everyone¡¯s suggestion. We¡¯re also actively coordinating. We¡¯re looking forward to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan joining our program more than everyone.¡±

    The official answer immediately aroused everyone¡¯s anticipation. Instantly, the Inte was discussing Jiang Kui, Zou Man, Jun Shiling, and Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have time to pay attention to this at all. She had already buried her head in the office and was handling the ancient books on the table.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you busy?¡± Professor Zhang walked in with a stack of books. He smiled happily.

    ¡°Mm, Professor Zhang, why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and helped Professor Zhang take down the book.

    ¡°Look at what you¡¯re holding.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head, holding this year¡¯s new teaching materials in her hand. She flipped through them and paused.

    ¡°Haha, do you see that?¡± Professor Zhang pointed at the editor¡¯s name on the title page. ¡°Many of the books you participated inpilingst year have been printed. They¡¯re all here. You¡¯ve achieved a lot, Professor Xia.¡±

    Looking at the dozen or so books in front of her, each of which had her name on it, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    In her previous life, it was a very illustrious thing for a person to write a biography. Xia Wanyuan had the traditional thoughts of her previous life, so she was naturally happy to see so many books that she had participated inpiling printed.

    ¡°The book in your hand has already been certified by the country. It can be used as a designated textbook for the literature department this year.¡± Professor Zhang looked at Xia Wanyuan lovingly. ¡°Keep up the good work. The heavy burden of our Qing University¡¯s literature department is on your shoulders.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Professor Zhang.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly, then took a photo with her phone and sent it to Jun Shiling.

    Professor Zhang, who was at the side, identally saw the chat box and shook his head with a smile. Young people nowadays were so clingy that even he was embarrassed.

    Xia: <i>Look, the books I participated inpilingst year have been printed. </i>

    Jun: <i>You¡¯re the best. </i>

    Xia:<i> (Cute emoticon)</i>

    Jun:<i> In order to celebrate this happy thing, I¡¯ll reward you to sleep with your husband tonight. (Serious and serious emoticon)</i>

    Xia: (Shut up expression bag)<i> I can¡¯t be bothered with you. I¡¯m going to work. Pick me up tonight. </i>

    In the office, Jun Shiling looked at his phone and smiled. When Xia Wanyuan stopped replying, he put away his phone and looked at Lin Jing. ¡°Continue.¡±

    Lin Jing adjusted his sses as if nothing had happened. ¡°We were just talking about Jiang Kui and Zou Man participating in a variety show called ¡®Looking forward to Life¡¯. Jiang Kui has been trying his best to encourage the production team to invite you and Madam.¡±

    ¡°I understand. Is there anything else?¡± Jiang Kui had never been Jun Shiling¡¯spetitor. He was not interested in Jiang Kui¡¯s thoughts.

    ¡°After this major case in China was solved, the Sea Shark side had a huge reaction. They went to look for Old K several times, but they were all rejected. Old K doesn¡¯t seem to have any movements.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Are the people from Continent F still watching?¡±

    ¡°Yes, theyI¡¯ve always kept in touch.¡± Lin Jing nodded.

    ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡±

    Lin Jing bowed respectfully and walked out of the office.

    Arge number of executives were waiting at the door with folders in their hands. When they saw Lin Jinge out, they hurriedly rushed up. ¡°Special Assistant Lin, how is CEO Jun feeling now? Can we go in?¡±

    Lin Jing smiled. ¡°CEO Jun just finished chatting with Madam on WeChat.¡±

    All the executives heaved a sigh of relief<i>. I understand, I understand. He must be in a good mood now!!</i>

    Hence, a group of people rushed to queue for the office.

    However, in the office, just as Lin Jing left, Jun Shiling received another WeChat message from Xia Wanyuan. ¡°CEO Jun, An Rao and I are eating and shopping outside today. Settle your dinner yourself. You don¡¯t have to wait for me.¡±

    The executives happily took the proposal to Jun Shiling to sign. However, Jun Shiling¡¯s repeated ¡°no¡±, ¡°hit back and do it again¡±, and ¡°there¡¯s a problem¡± shattered everyone¡¯s hearts.

    <i>Hehe, Special Assistant Lin is a liar! </i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    The books that Professor Zhang had brought to Xia Wanyuan were sent by the publishing house. Arge number of books had already been printed and were waiting to be sold to the market.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation, it was too easy to sell books, so the publishing house printed a million copies the first time.

    Just as the news of the sale was announced online, arge number of orders flew over like bamboo shoots after a rain. The website was almost about to copse.

    The staff of the publishing house had never seen such a scene.

    No, it should be said that they had never seen anyone sell textbooks with such an aura. After all, the popr books in the past were usually novels and literature. Few people asked about such purely theoretical books.

    The publisher calcted with his fingers. These one million copies were probably not enough, so he issued the second printing mission overnight.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s book sold so well that it naturally attracted the envy of many people. Many people jumped out to question her.

    ¡°I really can¡¯t understand. A youngdy in her twenties created more than ten books in half a year. Who can guarantee the quality? There are actually so many people who are willing to be fools.¡±

    ¡°Indeed, more than ten books appeared in half a year, and one of them even entered the list of national teaching materials. Isn¡¯t this too fake? Other than an empty reputation, what else does Xia Wanyuan have?¡±

    [Are you jealous? Xia Wanyuan is amazing. Do you have a problem with that?]

    [Although I also feel that these people¡¯s words are sour, in all fairness, Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have a doctorate or any special contributions, and she doesn¡¯t have a core journal thesis under her name. Isn¡¯t it reasonable for others to doubt her book to be included in the national teaching materials?]

    With theizens¡¯ reminder, the topic that had once been hotly discussed about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s insufficient qualifications as a professor was dug out again.

    Arge number ofments were implying that Xia Wanyuan had spent money to buy a gunman to produce so many books. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan did not have a core journal thesis under her name. <i>How could she be chosen as a national textbook the moment she published a book? </i>

    There was definitely a conspiracy.

    However, this time, before everyone could finish questioning and mocking her, Xia Wanyuan came out to respond and shut everyone up.

 Chapter 1083 - Slapping the Crowd twice

    <h4>Chapter 1083: pping the Crowd twice</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had been busyte into the night every dayst year. Not only was shepiling teaching materials, but she had also written many papers.

    Although Principal Yang and the rest tried their best tofort her, it was fine as long as she was capable, even if she did not publish a thesis in a core journal.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to make things difficult for the school. She took the time to study the publishing mechanism of China¡¯s papers and then submitted arge number of papers to the four core journals in China.

    Now, the results were all out.

    Seeing that there were people on the Inte who doubted her qualifications to teach at Qing University, the official Weibo ount of Qing University posted a dynamic response.

    @ Qing University Official: ¡°Professor Xia fulfills the conditions for being a professor in our school. Regarding the rumors on the Inte that Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t have a core journal thesis under her name, it¡¯s a rumor.¡±

    Under this Weibo post were two papers from top journals in the industry, both signed by Xia Wanyuan.

    [I knew it. How could Xia Wanyuan find a gunman? Her sses were all there, okay? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses were so good. How could it be that she had no abilities like what the jealous haters said?]

    [ There¡¯s still a difference between having strength and meeting the requirements, okay? In the past, Xia Wanyuan did not have the support of a thesis. Can¡¯t others question her? ]

    Seeing that this storm had been suppressed by the official Weibo ount of Qing University, another storm rose.

    A user named ¡°Drop the Book Bag¡± posted long articles revealing the dark reality of the literary world. Half of the articles were aimed at Xia Wanyuan.

    Dropping the book bag: ¡°I admit that I¡¯m a vain person, but in the end, the pride of a schr in my bones awakened my conscience. I want to stand up and tell everyone how dark the literary world is.¡±

    Many teachers had worked hard for many years but could not get a professional title because they needed arge number of thesis results and research results. If they could notplete it, they would find others to write it for them. The price was also very high.

    ......

    Like Xia Wanyuan, who everyone was familiar with, she had found someone to write the thesis for her, which was why she had passed the basic requirements for a professor at Qing University. Of course, she was rich and the price she offered was very high.

    Everyone might say that it¡¯s normal for transactions to be consensual, but this is a pure literary hall. How can I be insulted like this? I really can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡±

    Not only was this book bag sincere with his words, but it also had a lot of supporting information.

    Among them were his WeChat chat records with Xia Wanyuan, arge number of bank transfer screenshots, and the information on the two top papers that he had listed on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s official Weibo.

    The moment these things were released, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

    [What¡¯s going on? Really?]

    [I¡¯m a Qing University student. I¡¯m on Professor Xia¡¯s side. You¡¯ll know how amazing Professor Xia is after listening to one ss.]

    [Hehe, I knew it. No matter how amazing Xia Wanyuan is, she can act, attend sses, produce so many books, and write two top-notch papers in a year. Does she really think she¡¯s the female lead of a novel?]

    In the admissions office of Nancheng University, the head of the admissions office was observing the movements on the Inte with his subordinates.

    ¡°Chief, are you sure there¡¯s no problem with this book bag?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s in America. No matter how amazing Jun Shiling is, can he reach out to America? This person is a very amazing talent. He has a few top journals¡¯ papers under his name. No one will doubt his authenticity,¡± the director said confidently.

    He had spent a lot of effort to find this person. Even if those papers were written by Xia Wanyuan, she could not exin this matter clearly.

    One was a senior in the academic world with a few top-notch papers, and the other was a young girl who had never even posted a master¡¯s degree. This multiple choice question was too easy to do.

    Thinking of pulling Xia Wanyuan down, and one of the golden signs of Qing University was gone, the reputation of the humanities of Nancheng University would still be unted, the head of the admissions office silently heaved a sigh of relief. <i>This year¡¯s enrollment index should be saved. </i>

    Under the Jiang family¡¯s push, the topic of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s academic fraud rose on the Inte.

    Just as everyone was questioning why Xia Wanyuan did not appear to respond, the four top journals in the Chinese academic world actually posted something.

    These four major journals had always been cold and indifferent to worldly matters, so they had very few fans on Weibo. However, they were all heavyweights in the academic world. When the four major journals posted something, everyone was rmed.

    The four major journals announced the outstanding national papers selected in the first quarter at the same time. Everyone was dumbfounded when they clicked on it.

    Journal 1: Xia Wanyuan is ranked first and has been included in five papers.

    Journal 2: Xia Wanyuan is ranked first and has been included in seven papers.

    Journal 3: Xia Wanyuan is ranked first and has been included in six papers.

    Journal 3: Xia Wanyuan is ranked first and has been included in seven papers.

    Not only were the academic big shots dumbfounded, but the surroundingizens were also dumbfounded.

    Everyone looked at the title again.<i> It was indeed a national thesis, but why did this number seem like a joke? Furthermore, were these four journals wrong?? Why were they all Xia Wanyuan? It was as if they were copied and pasted. </i>

    [ Oh my god!! Is this statistical chart serious? I dare say that I¡¯ve been in academia for so many years and have never seen such a huge scene. The four major journals have moved out together and are flooded with dozens of national papers by Xia Wanyuan. I feel like I¡¯m living in a dream! ]

    [ I want to ask now if the person who said that he wrote for Xia Wanyuan is embarrassed. Look at the number of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s papers and then look at his. How can he have the cheek to say that he¡¯s Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gunman? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan rich... Can¡¯t she find dozens of gunmen? Maybe Xia Wanyuan found someone to specially write these papers. Does having arge number mean she¡¯s awesome? Anyway, I don¡¯t believe she¡¯s so amazing. ]

    [ Is there something wrong with your brain? I advise you to treat it. Can¡¯t you allow others to be amazing just because you¡¯re trash? Xia Wanyuan is at the level of a father. If you¡¯re unhappy, hold it in. ]

    Just as doubts appeared and the fans and haters were arguing, the four major journals simultaneously announced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis manuscript and the debate video she had participated in when submitting the thesis.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s in-depth exnation of the thesis content and her ability to control the entire venue in the video, the jealous haters silently shut their mouth.

 Chapter 1084 - Bo Xiao Returns; Princess Movie Queen

    <h4>Chapter 1084: Bo Xiao Returns; Princess Movie Queen</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    There were professionals in every field. The fans only saw the quantity and the value of the journal. They knew that Xia Wanyuan was very amazing, but no one knew exactly how amazing she was.

    When everyone in the academic world saw this long list, they specially downloaded all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s papers and studied them.

    They even watched the video of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s defense once. Then, everyone was collectively stunned.

    ¡°My mentor told me that after watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s defense video, he doesn¡¯t want to teach anymore. He feels that after so many years of research, he¡¯s inferior to a youngdy in her twenties. He¡¯s autistic.¡±

    ¡°Plus one, our mentor has just given us a mission in the group. He wants all of us to study Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis and learn her train of thought. I just want to say that I can¡¯t do it! So what if we learn her train of thought? I¡¯m not as talented as Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    [I just want to ask, is that book bag awkward now? Hahahaha, do you think it¡¯s amazing that you¡¯ve published two or three papers in the four journals?]

    [No, he¡¯s thick-skinned. He¡¯s still quibbling, saying that Xia Wanyuan not only invited him, but also many others.]

    Theizens returned to Weibo and took a look. As expected, he still did not admit that he was spreading rumors and insisted thIf you see this message this chapter is being messed up, you don¡¯t need to report it, juste back in 10 minutes to read the correct chapter, sorry for the inconvenience

    At that moment, he was on the phone while standing in front of the window. He spotted her running in and gave her not more than a side nce. He quickly moved his gaze towards the outside of the window and continued his serious conversation on the phone. 4

    He acted as if picking her up from prison was nothing more than a matter of convenience.

    Zhong Nuannuan finally felt relief in her heart when she once again saw this man, who was as tall as a pine tree and as noble as the gods. 9

    There was a sudden pain in her heart that flooded into her eyes. If she had not done all she could to keep them under control, her tears would have fallen again.

    ¡°Nuannuan, how are you doing? You¡¯ve been in prison for a month. Did anyone bully you? Are you hurt anywhere? Tell mum and I¡¯ll make sure to settle everything for you!¡± 1

    ¡°Nuannuan is my daughter. There is no way that the daughter of Zhong Kuijun would be so weak. Just look at Nuannuan¡¯s healthy face, she is in the pink of health. One look at her and anyone can see how well she is doing! Hahahaha¡­ My girl, the Zhou family has withdrawn their suit against you. You have been pronounced not guilty for murder. Your dad is here to take you out of prison. Are you feeling happy?¡± 4

    Zhong Nuannuan¡¯s sight was suddenly blocked as her father, Zhong Kuijun and mother, Jiang Shuwan, stood in front of her. One of them took her left hand and the other held her right. They were concerned over her as they kept asking about her wellbeing.

    In the middle of the room, her older sister, Zhong Qianqian, whom they shared the same father but had different mothers, stood not far from where Chi Yang was. Her body was a little slighted and from where Zhong Nuannuan was standing, it looked as if they were standing side by side. 5ing half of his hair and wanted to cry. ¡°I don¡¯t think I can protect you.¡±

    In the manor, Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan and handed her a jewelry box from behind. ¡°They all have gifts. Our protagonist has to have gifts too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and took it. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. Move back to the master bedroom to sleep today.¡± Jun Shiling took out the ne from the box and put it on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It looks good.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I have to apany An Rao during this period of time. Sleep by yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced her foot on Jun Shiling¡¯sp, and Jun Shiling wrapped her in his arms with his clothes.

    ]¡±You don¡¯t have to apany An Rao anymore.¡± Jun Shiling hooked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle, causing her to smile.

    Xia Wanyuan suppressed herughter and asked, ¡°What do you mean? Bo Xiao cane back?¡±

    ¡°Kiss me and I¡¯ll tell you.¡±

    Reading on Mybo xno vel. ,Please!

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to say it.¡± Xia Wanyuan had already gotten the answer from Jun Shiling¡¯s expression.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the apartment, An Rao was packing her things. Her manager was helping her.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to bring this. Yuan Yuan has already prepared it for me.¡± An Rao picked out the clothes in the wardrobe. ¡°You can take this sweater over. This sweater is especially soft and very warm.¡±

    Seeing that An Rao was packing seriously, the manager put down the clothes in his hand. ¡°Look for it first. I¡¯ll cook some noodles for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao did not even turn around and rummaged through the wardrobe.

    The manager pushed open the bedroom door and had just taken two steps when he heard a knock on the door. ¡°Eh? Didn¡¯t An Rao just ce the order yesterday? Why are you here so quickly?¡±

    The manager nagged as he walked out. However, when she opened the door, she was stunned.

    The man standing outside the door was solemn with a familiar smile on his lips.?<i>Wasn¡¯t that Bo Xiao?!</i>

    ¡°Bo¡­¡± The manager eximed, her face filled with excitement and joy. Bo Xiao ced his index finger on his lips and stopped her.

    ¡°Where¡¯s An Rao?¡± Bo Xiao smiled.

    ¡°She¡¯s packing in the bedroom. Go in quickly. Coincidentally, I¡¯m going out,¡± the manager said as she picked up her bag and walked out. She even pushed Bo Xiao.

    An Rao and Bo Xiao had not seen each other for so long, so she would not be a third wheel here.

    The door closed. Bo Xiao changed his shoes, slowed down, and walked into the bedroom.

    The entire room was still the same as before he left. Even the position of the doll had not changed much. Beside the wardrobe, An Rao was wearing a white sweater. Her stomach was bulging and she was seriously choosing the coat in the cab.

    ¡°This red one seems a little small. This white one is good.¡± Hearing footsteps, An Rao thought it was her manager and nagged her manager to help her decide.

    Bo Xiao stood at the door and stared at An Rao not far away without saying a word.

    An Rao seemed to have gained a little weight and there was a little meat on her face, but she was still bright and beautiful. She did not put on makeup today, and her eyshes were still curled and curled. She blinked, making Bo Xiao¡¯s heart ache.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to cook noodles for me? I want two eggs. Me and the baby.¡± An Rao took out a white coat and turned around. She stopped mid-sentence.

    To Bo Xiao¡¯s surprise, An Rao did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, she closed her eyes and looked a little annoyed. ¡°How annoying. Why am I seeing Bo Xiao again? Am I dreaming?¡±

    As An Rao spoke, she reached out and prepared to pinch her face. After all, in the past, she had always let herself wake up like this.

    However, just as she ced her hand on her face, someone grabbed her wrist. Bo Xiao had walked up to her at some point.

    An Rao opened her eyes. The temperature of Bo Xiao¡¯s palm was on her wrist. An Rao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled and scolded An Rao. ¡°Stupid, so stupid.¡± However, his eyes were red.

    An Rao was still not sure. She pounced into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms, and Bo Xiao¡¯s unique smell surrounded her. Bo Xiao also hugged An Rao tightly.

    Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s strong heartbeat, An Rao was certain that Bo Xiao was really back.

    She finally dared to cry. She cried very sadly in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms.

    Bo Xiao kissed her hair from the top of her head to her lips, ignoring the tears on her face.

    An Rao sobbed. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying. I can¡¯t breathe.¡±

    Bo Xiao stopped and knocked An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Idiot.¡±

    ¡°How did youe back? Did you escape from prison?¡± An Rao, who had just watched an escape moviest night, was filled with strange thoughts.

    Bo Xiao really wanted to pry open An Rao¡¯s head and see what was inside. ¡°Shut up. Have you eaten?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± An Rao shook her head.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡± Bo Xiao nced at An Rao¡¯s stomach. ¡°You can starve, but you can¡¯t starve my son.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± An Rao was angered by Bo Xiao again.

    Bo Xiao smiled and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Good girl, I was joking. Wait for me here.¡±

    ¡°No, I want to go with you.¡± An Rao only wanted to be a clingy little tail and did not want to go anywhere.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Bo Xiao moved a stool for An Rao and let her sit in the kitchen while he cooked.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, you¡¯re back. Will you still leave?¡± An Rao was most concerned about this question.

    ¡°I can apany you for a while.¡± Bo Xiao boiled the water and walked to An Rao. He wiped her face with a wet towel. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to cry. I¡¯m already back. Smile for Hubby.¡±

    An Rao red at Bo Xiao, but she still wiped her tears and smiled at him, like a little wife who had been captured by bandits.

    ¡°Silly.¡± A smile appeared in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. He lowered his head and covered An Rao¡¯s lips.

    ¡°Hey, my noodles,¡± An Rao said, but her body did not move. She even leaned towards Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°The noodles are not cooked yet. I¡¯ll reward you with a kiss first.¡±

    An Rao wanted to say something but was swallowed by Bo Xiao.

    Since Bo Xiao was back, An Rao naturally stayed in the apartment.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan received An Rao¡¯s message and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, thank you.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her. ¡°Try saying thank you to me again?¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°When are you bringing Xiao Bao back?¡±

    Xiao Bao had been staying at Old Master¡¯s house for almost a week. He had probably missed home long ago.

    ¡°Tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling typed thest few words on theputer. ¡°Can you go back to the master bedroom tonight? An Rao has gone back.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± An Rao could be at ease now that Bo Xiao was back. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood was much better, and she was even a little restless.

    Anyway, Xiao Bao was not back today. Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling with her foot.

    Jun Shiling grabbed her ankle. ¡°Do you want it?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling in this position. ¡°Can you think of anything else? I want to go out for a walk, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling wanted to say that it was not good. He wanted to discuss the harmony of life with Xia Wanyuan at home.

    However, when both Xia Wanyuan and he had thoughts, Xia Wanyuan would definitely have the final say.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Jun Shiling said as he took a pair of socks from the side and helped Xia Wanyuan put them on. He helped her put on her hat and scarf, then pulled her out.

    Jun Shiling drove while Xia Wanyuan sat in the front passenger seat. The two of them left the manor just like that.

    By the time the two of them finished supper on the small boat in Houhai and saw the night view, it was almost midnight.

    The night was very cold. At this time, no one was still walking outside. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked together on the street that they had not stepped on in the day.

    ¡°I¡¯ve chosen for so long, but I still haven¡¯t chosen any interesting sci-fi script.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not wearing high heels at night. She held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and walked and jumped. Her shadow looked even more agile under the streetmp.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get Lin Jing to release an announcement tomorrow and gather a copy online.¡±

    ¡°Will I do a bad job?¡± After all, Xia Wanyuan had nevere into contact with sci-fi movies and rarely watched them.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you don¡¯t do well, I¡¯ll support your box office alone and get the Inte Water Army to raise your score. Is a full score enough?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re teasing me again.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Are you stupid? You¡¯ll definitely do well. I believe you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although Jun Shiling was only encouraging her, Xia Wanyuan inexplicably felt a force supporting her.

    The two of them walked under a bridge. In the quiet night, there was suddenly a cry.

    ¡°Crazy, get lost quickly. Let me tell you, I don¡¯t have a daughter like you.¡± Not far away, a middle-aged woman was pushing a youngdy out.

    ¡°Mom, I was wrong. Don¡¯t abandon me.¡± The little girl looked thin and weak, like she was fourteen or fifteen years old. She hugged the middle-aged woman¡¯s leg with a face full of tears.

    ¡°Get lost. Is it easy for me to raise you and your brother? What¡¯s wrong with letting you wash their feet? Do you think you¡¯re the daughter of a rich family?! Let me ask you something. Are you going to wash Boss Liu¡¯s feet and massage him?¡± The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter with disdain. There was no warmth in her eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± The youngdy bit her lower lip stubbornly. She was not stupid.<i>?What foot washing massage? She was clearly selling me for five thousand yuan.</i>

    ¡°Okay, then die outside and nevere back.¡± The middle-aged woman threw her school bag at the little girl and left without looking back.

    The papers in the school bag scattered on the ground, and some floated to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet with the cold wind.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to pick them up, then walked forward and handed them to the little girl. ¡°These are yours.¡±

    The little girl¡¯s eyes were red and she looked thin and pitiful. She retracted her gaze from her mother, who was already far away. She was clearly still very young, but it inexplicably made one feel that there were many things in her heart.

    ¡°Thank you, Sister.¡± The youngdy reached out to take the paper.

    The lights here were brighter. Xia Wanyuan looked down and saw the little girl¡¯s frozen and swollen hands. Her hands could no longer be seen as they were filled with frostbite.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t have a ce to stay tonight, I¡¯ll help you find a hotel.¡± Seeing the scene just now, anyone could tell that this youngdy had been abandoned by her biological mother.

    ¡°No, thank you.¡± The youngdy¡¯s voice was soft. ¡°I¡¯ll find a ce myself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but her gaze suddenly nced at the manuscript in her hand. The lights had been dim just now, so she had not seen what was on it. Now that she had casually nced at it, it was actually a fragment simr to science fiction.

    Furthermore, this small scene aroused her interest in reading.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. ¡°You wrote this?¡±

    The youngdy nodded. She did not have any entertainment activities. Since she was young, her favorite thing was to read all sorts of strange books. She secretly stood at the side and watched all sorts of movies while working in the cinema.

    Over time, some images appeared in his mind, and she wanted to write them down.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped a few more pages, her eyes shining.

    The little girl looked weak and young, but the things she wrote were unrestrained.

    She seemed to understand why she had not met a suitable script for so many days.

    Science fiction was originally something that was unconstrained and imagined endlessly. After the world and society changed, there would always be some fixed patterns that would be limited by various boxes.

    However, children were different. They naturally had strange fantasies about the world. Their imaginations were endless, and it was easy to have all sorts of strange but interesting settings.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and tidied up the manuscript. ¡°Youngdy, I¡¯ll find a ce for you to live. I¡¯m not a bad person. Do you believe me?¡±

    The little girl looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear eyes in a daze and nodded subconsciously.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and ced the little girl in a hotel under the Jun Corporation.

    It was not until one in the morning that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling returned to the manor.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan took advantage of the break in filming to flip through the little girl¡¯s manuscript.

    She had never received specific training, so her writing appeared very young, but she had quite a number of strange thoughts and ideas. The more Xia Wanyuan looked at it, the more interesting she felt.

    ¡°Wanyuan, why are you here? Congrattions on winning the Best Actress nomination.¡± A colleague from the production team passed by and congratted Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What best actress?¡± Xia Wanyuan withdrew from the sci-fi world that the youngdy had imagined and did not understand what her colleague meant.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know? You¡¯ve been nominated for the Best Actress Award, but Su Yueran seems to bepeting with you at the same time. I don¡¯t know who will win in the end, but congrattions. This nomination itself is very valuable,¡± the colleague exined to Xia Wanyuan.

    At the same time, the news of Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan being nominated at the same time was widely spread by the media.

    Ever since Director Charon¡¯s audition, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship had be very awkward.

    They were both female celebrities with extraordinary backgrounds and had a good reputation in the industry. In fact, their image and temperament were very simr.

    Everyone knew that Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan had gone to the audition together, but in the end, Su Yueran was chosen to y the role of Director Carlon¡¯stest sci-fi movie. Although she was only a supporting actress, it was enough to make her famous internationally. Inparison, Xia Wanyuan was a little inferior.

    This time, the two of them were nominated as Best Actors at the same time. Everyone could not help butpare the two of them.

    <i>Who would be the Best Actress this time??</i>

 Chapter 1085 - Variety Show

    <h4>Chapter 1085: Variety Show</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had arge number of fans, and Su Yueran was not bad either. Regarding who had won the Best Actress award, theizens discussed animatedly, each holding a word.

    Because Su Yueran was favored by Director Charon, more viewers thought that Su Yueran could win the Best Actress Award.

    [Actually, Xia Wanyuan is also very amazing. I think she acted quite well.]

    [Hehe, it¡¯s just a presentable movie. How dare shepete with others for the Best Actress?]

    [ The person in front, shut up. The Best Actress evaluation doesn¡¯t look at quantity, but quality. So what if it¡¯s one? As long as your acting skills are good enough, it doesn¡¯t matter even if there¡¯s only one. ]

    The fans were arguing non-stop. In the production team, Xia Wanyuan had just finished a scene and sat down to rest when Su Yueran, who had not appeared for a long time, came.

    ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Su Yueran had a smile on her face, looking gentle and elegant.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    ¡°I came to see you act. Your acting skills are good, so I should learn more from you.¡± Su Yueran sat on the chair beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Actually, I think the winner of the Best Actress nomination will definitely be you. Your acting skills are much better than mine.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Su Yueran, then retracted her gaze. She stood up and left, toozy to waste time with Su Yueran.

    Whether it was Director Charon¡¯s audition or the nomination of the Best Actress, Xia Wanyuan felt that there was no need topete.

    She was not interested in ttering each other with Su Yueran. Su Yueran was quite good herself, she had good acting skills, and had many outstanding works.

    She wondered what was the point of pretending to tter her here.

    ......

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, the smile on Su Yueran¡¯s lips froze. Her eyes darkened. Xia Wanyuan was really stubborn, as if she could not break through her. She was really difficult to deal with.

    After leaving the production team, Xia Wanyuan went straight to the hotel where she had ced the little girlst night.

    In the hotel, the little girl was curled up on the sofa watching a Star Wars movie. Hearing the door open, the little girl subconsciously shrank her neck. Only when she saw that it was Xia Wanyuan did she let down her guard. ¡°Big Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked in. ¡°Are you watching television?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The little girl nodded.

    Xia Wanyuan handed her the biscuit in her hand and sat on the sofa. ¡°Your story is very good. Are you willing to work with me?¡±

    The little girl had never been praised for writing a good story. Her eyes widened slightly. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll give you money and send someone to guide you. You¡¯ll be in charge of producing the story.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that the little girl was quite spiritual.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The little girl knew that the beautiful big sister in front of her was very good, so she did not hesitate.

    ¡°Are you an adult?¡± From the looks of this little girl, she was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was really too thin and weak. She had probably been malnourished for a long time.

    ¡°I¡¯m an adult. I just turned eighteen.¡± To Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surprise, the little girl nodded.

    She had not eaten enough since she was young and her health was not good, so she looked much younger than ordinary children. However, in terms of age, she was already an adult.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll find someone to sign the contract with you then.¡± Xia Wanyuan was relieved. Since she was already an adult, she could bear legal responsibility herself and did not have to seek the permission of her guardian.

    ¡°Mm.¡± The little girl smiled at Xia Wanyuan. After washing away the dirt, one could tell that she was a beauty. Her big eyes were filled with gratitude and innocence.

    For some reason, she looked a little like Lu Li.

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Xia Wanyuan had forgotten that she still did not know the little girl¡¯s name.

    ¡°Liu Ling.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Okay, Liu Ling, I¡¯ll leave first. Write well.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Liu Ling thought for a while and left.

    Ever since she followed her parents to Beijing five years ago, she had been doing all sorts of odd jobs every day and knew the route to this city very well.

    Along the way, Liu Ling rode a bike to a basement.

    At the entrance of the basement, a middle-aged woman was washing clothes. Beside hery a man smoking. Not far away, a little boy was ying with the toy ne in his hand.

    This was her family.

    Liu Ling walked forward. ¡°Dad, Mom.¡±

    The middle-aged woman looked up at her with disgust in her eyes. ¡°Why are you back? Have you forgotten what I said? Get lost.¡±

    ¡°Mom, I can earn money now.¡± Liu Ling walked towards her parents.

    However, the middle-aged man stood up, picked up the stool under his butt, and threw it at Liu Ling. ¡°What a prodigal thing. We raised you for nothing.¡±

    Liu Ling was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind. ¡°Dad, Mom, listen to my exnation.¡±

    The middle-aged woman put down her clothes and looked up. ¡°Let me be honest with you. You know that your health isn¡¯t good and you can¡¯t go out to work. We really can¡¯t afford to raise you. You¡¯re already an adult. Just treat it as if you don¡¯t have us as your parents in the future.¡±

    The middle-aged man looked at Liu Ling fiercely. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?!¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. Finally, she steeled her heart and turned to leave.

    Looking at Liu Ling¡¯s departing figure, the little boy ying with his toys suddenly chased after him. ¡°Sister,¡± but he was stopped by his parents.

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go. We can¡¯t afford to raise her anymore. We can only raise you. She¡¯s not your sister. Don¡¯t go over.¡± The middle-aged woman pressed down the little boy who had been struggling. ¡°She¡¯s sick. It¡¯s none of her business if she dies in the future. Alright, good baby, stop crying. Mommy will buy you your favorite hamburger, okay?¡±

    Hearing hamburger, the little boy stopped crying and obediently left with the middle-aged woman.

    Her parents kept exining, so Liu Ling could only return to the hotel. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s promise to give her money, she wiped her tears, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write a story seriously.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Afterpleting her scenes with the production team, Xia Wanyuan had just left the production team when she met arge group of reporters.

    ¡°What do you think of Miss Su Yueran being nominated for the Best Actress Award like you?¡±

    ¡°How has An Rao been recently? Can you tell us?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied simply, ¡°No opinion.¡± ¡°Pretty good.¡±

    With that, she was about to leave when a reporter reached the microphone to her mouth. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you have a good rtionship with An Rao. You must know Bo Xiao, right? What do you think of Bo Xiao¡¯s treason?¡±

    When he said this, the surroundings fell silent. The other reporters were shocked that this colleague was so bold to ask such a sharp question.

    As expected, the originally calm Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood tall. The reporters around her could not take it and took a step back.

    ¡°Who told you that Bo Xiao betrayed the country?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked coldly at the male reporter who asked the question.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? Otherwise, why would such a high-ranking general be arrested and sent to prison? ording to our country¡¯sws, he must havemitted an extremely serious crime to be punished like this.¡± The reporter braced himself and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°There will be an official evaluation of the truth. It won¡¯t be you making wild guesses here.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan got into the car, leaving the reporters looking at each other.

    ¡°Tsk,¡± the male reporter who asked the question looked disdainful.¡± She must be guilty and doesn¡¯t dare to admit it. If Bo Xiao didn¡¯t betray the country, how could he be captured? What kind of person is he?¡±

    The others were silent. After all, it involved Bo Xiao¡¯s level, so no one dared to say anything.

    However, not talking nonsense did not mean that they did not hint at it while writing news.

    To people who yed with words, as long as they wrote that meaning, it did not matter if the table expressed their opinion.

    Hence, that day, the news of Xia Wanyuan berating the reporter was spread everywhere.

    The news hid Xia Wanyuan¡¯s specific answer. The main point was that after Xia Wanyuan heard the reporter ask Bo Xiao a question, she scolded the reporter angrily.

    [Um... Is this considered anger stemming from embarrassment?]

    [I quite want to know what¡¯s wrong with Bo Xiao. It¡¯s been so long, but the officials haven¡¯t given a specific response.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is so angry. Could Bo Xiao really have betrayed the country? As his wife, An Rao shouldn¡¯t appear in the entertainment industry anymore. She¡¯ll lead the children astray. ]

    At the same time, everyone paid attention to the fact that Bo Xiao could be awarded as a chief at such a young age.

    After all, to people in the military, it was already very capable to be apanymander in their lives. There were only a few chiefs in the country, let alone someone as young as Bo Xiao.

    [ There¡¯s no need to guess. If you ask me, there must be a conspiracy. ording to rumors, Bo Xiao is valued by a certain military leader. They originally wanted him to be their son-inw, so they nurtured him vigorously. In the end, after Bo Xiao became famous, he dumped the leader¡¯s daughter. ]

    [... The person in front, is that true?? Bo Xiao doesn¡¯t look like that kind of person.]

    [Hehe, why not? Otherwise, how do you exin how Bo Xiao became a chief in his twenties? What a joke. Furthermore, it¡¯s an era of peace and there¡¯s no war. Where would he get the credit?]

    These words rendered everyone speechless. Hence, all the major forums, Tieba, and Weibo began to guess Bo Xiao¡¯s identity.

    The most popr post was ¡°What¡¯s wrong with our society? What¡¯s wrong with relying on connections to be a high-ranking general? In the end, such a person even colluded with the enemy. What kind of vermin have we raised?¡±

    Many people who did not know the truth were agitated by this pile of posts and were furious.

    In the apartment, An Raoy on the sofa and looked at her phone as usual. Then, she saw the news on Weibo. After casually flipping through it, An Rao threw her phone aside angrily. ¡°What kind of person is this?¡±

    Bo Xiao came over with a te of sour plums. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± As he spoke, he was about to pick up An Rao¡¯s phone.

    An Rao reacted and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t touch my phone!¡±

    Bo Xiao was stunned. ¡°Petty. Alright, I won¡¯t move. I¡¯ll give you plums.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao extended her arm to Bo Xiao. ¡°Come and apany me.¡±

    Bo Xiao could only sit beside her. However, An Rao, who had been extremely greedy just now, had no appetite.

    Bo Xiao was a smart person. He could guess what was wrong with An Rao¡¯s expression. He knocked An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t think nonsense. I won¡¯t care what others say.¡±

    An Rao carefully looked at Bo Xiao¡¯s expression and pulled his hand to her stomach. ¡°Do you hear it?¡±

    ¡°Hear what?¡± Bo Xiaoughed.

    ¡°Baby said that Daddy is the most amazing hero.¡± An Rao pursed her lips. She knew that Bo Xiao had a strong mentality, but no matter who it was, how could they not be sad to be questioned and mocked by the people she protected?

    ¡°Got it.¡± Bo Xiao patted the back of An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°Eat first. I¡¯ll go out and buy something.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Bo Xiao left home but did not go to the supermarket. Instead, he walked to the backyard of the neighborhood and sat on the bench.

    He took out his phone and swiped it casually. Arge amount of news about him surged over.

    ¡°What else does Bo Xiao have other than his face?¡±

    ¡°Bo Xiao is ungrateful. He relied on his face to climb up the ranks and even married a female celebrity in the entertainment industry to hype himself up. Shameless.¡±

    ¡°What high-ranking general? He obtained a rank through shady means and actually colluded with the enemy to betray the country. How disgusting.¡±

    .....

    Therge number of eye-catchingments made Bo Xiao¡¯s expression turn cold.

    He was also someone who had seen great storms and climbed out of bullets, but now, he felt that...

    Rumors and evil words were sometimes more hurtful than thousands of troops on the battlefield.

    Even someone as mentally strong as him would be sad because of thesements.

    Bo Xiao took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he thought of An Rao. He put the lighter back and only held the cigarette in his mouth. He looked into the distance quietly, thinking about something.

    In a corner that he did not notice, An Rao looked over worriedly as she touched her stomach.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since the production team of ¡°Leisurely Life¡± announced that Jiang Kui and Zou Man would join the variety show, their fans had increased.

    Other than urging the broadcast to start every day, the most important thing for arge number ofizens was to ask the production team if they had invited Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    [Wait and wait. Today is also the day I crazily request Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to appear on the variety show together.]

    [Although the hope is slim, I still want to squat here and wait for a miracle to appear.]

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan had just finished her homework with Xiao Bao when she received a call from Chen Yun.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you know Jiang Kui and Zou Man, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a pen and wrote on the paper.

    ¡°The two of them are going to participate in a variety show. It¡¯s a little simr to the love variety show you and CEO Jun went tost time. The production team sent an invitation. I just want to ask you if you¡¯re willing to participate.¡± Chen Yun felt that with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personality, she probably wouldn¡¯t be willing to participate in such apetition.

    However, to his surprise, Xia Wanyuan actually agreed. ¡°Sure, take it.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Oh, okay. Then I¡¯ll reply to the production team.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan wrote on the paper.

    Xia Wanyuan knew very well that the Jiang family must be behind the production team¡¯s invitation.

    Since the Jiang family wanted to use the power of public opinion to suppress the Jun family, she might as well go with the flow and see who would suppress who in the end.

    After so many years of cooperation, the Jiang family and the Jun family had reached the point where only one could stay. Neither could tolerate the other.

    When the production team received Chen Yun¡¯s reply, they thought it was fake. The production team¡¯s director waved his hand. ¡°The liars nowadays are too good at seizing every opportunity. They¡¯re quite good at grasping the direction of the wind. They even lied to me. Did the liar say that he wanted the deposit to be sent first?¡±

 Chapter 1086 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 1086: Untitled</h4>

    The staffpared the ount again and eximed, ¡°Director!! It¡¯s true! It¡¯s Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager¡¯s ount!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± The director, who was drinking water, could not hold it in anymore. A mouthful of hot tea rolled in, making the director roll his eyes.

    However, at this moment, he could not care less. The director ran to theputer in a few strides and was stunned when he saw the words ¡°agree to cooperate¡± in the email. Hepared it from top to bottom for a long time and confirmed that it was not photoshopped. Only then did he believe that Xia Wanyuan had really agreed.

    To be honest, Jiang Kui and Zou Man agreeing to participate in the show already made him feel like he had saved the gxy in his previous life. When he sent Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan invitations, he did not think that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling would agree at all.

    However, to his surprise, the director was overjoyed.

    <i>With these two groups of guests, wouldn¡¯t I be able to earn money lying down?</i>?The director thought happily. ¡°I have a day off today. I want to go to the temple to pray. Thank you, Buddha, thank you, Bodhisattva.¡±

    Although the program had not begun, he could already see the bright future. The high viewership ratings andrge amounts of money were already waving at him.

    After confirming the specific conditions for the cooperation, the production team could not wait to release a publicity statement. Without a doubt, it blew up the entire Inte.

    Although it was alreadyte at night, the office was brightly lit. The programmers touched their already short hair and wanted to cry but had no tears. ¡°The people I hate the most are Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    The colleagues agreed. ¡°Plus one, ever since Xia Wanyuan became famous, my hair has been decreasing day by day. Ever since Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan got together, I should be able to go to Shaolin Temple to be a monk after packing up.¡±

    Jun Shiling only found out about this after work. When he entered the house, Xia Wanyuan was painting at the table. The white woolen sweater outlined her soft curves.

    He hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind. ¡°Why? Do I have no right to speak now? You didn¡¯t even tell me you were going to participate in a variety show.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at him. ¡°Forget it if you¡¯re not going. I¡¯ll go myself.¡±

    Jun Shilingughed. ¡°I realized that your temper has grown recently.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted coldly. ¡°You¡¯ve been going overboard recently. You don¡¯t know how to control yourself.¡±

    Reading on Mybo xn o vel. ,Please!

    ¡°I think your temper is still too small. It can still continue to rise. Keep up the good work,¡± Jun Shiling said with a smile, then received a light kick from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°How did Bo Xiao handle it?¡± Thinking of the reporters¡¯ questions today, Xia Wanyuan put down her pen and turned around.

    Those reporters were indeed despicable, but they represented the thoughts of most people. No matter what the truth was, in the eyes of most ordinary people, they could only see Bo Xiao being sent to prison.

    And this erased all the credit for Bo Xiao. In everyone¡¯s eyes, Bo Xiao had be a criminal.

    ¡°They¡¯re in the process. The move you mentionedst time was indeed useful against those people in the southwest. Now, all parties have temporarily quietened down and turned their gazes to the surroundings. They don¡¯t interfere with Bo Xiao¡¯s matters anymore.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go eat.¡±

    However, just as the two of them took two steps, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up and listened for two seconds before frowning.

    He hung up and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡±

 Chapter 1087 - Beating Up the Heartless Reporter

    <h4>Chapter 1087: Beating Up the Heartless Reporter</h4>

    ¡°What happened?¡± It was rare for Jun Shiling to show such an expression. As Xia Wanyuan followed him out, she asked.

    ¡°An Rao fell and is in the hospital for emergency treatment,¡± Jun Shiling turned around and exined to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pupils dted slightly. Jun Shiling grabbed her hand and brought her out.

    The night was deep and the usually dry north was raining heavily tonight. The heavy rain hit the car window and sshed.

    When the two of them rushed to the hospital, Bo Xiao was sitting on a chair in front of the operating theater with a cigarette between his fingers. It was clearly extinguished and the ashes fell to the ground.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walked over.

    Bo Xiao looked up at them. His eyes were red and his eyeballs were bloodshot. His smiling eyes were dim.

    He picked up the cigarette in his hand and took a deep puff. The smoke lingered in the air and slowly dissipated. ¡°I deserve to die.¡±

    During this period of time, the news about Bo Xiao was very popr. As long as the word Bo Xiao was involved, it could attract a lot of attention.

    Many media wanted to dig out information from it, so they found Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s residence through various channels.

    Now that An Rao was pregnant, Bo Xiao would apany her for a walk in the garden every day after dinner.

    Not long after they left the house today, arge group of reporters appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the two of them.

    Bo Xiao protected An Rao and walked back, but there were too many reporters and they did not give up their seats.

    There were even many reporters who surrounded her and asked all sorts of questions. When they heard the words ¡°coborate with the enemy¡±, ¡°shameful¡± and ¡°shameless¡± in their words, An Rao, who had been silent, exploded and scolded the reporter who said these words on the spot.

    The reporters became even more intense. Seeing that An Rao and Bo Xiao had stopped, they instantly surged forward. Arge group of people squeezed closer and Bo Xiao kicked a reporter away.

    Reading on Mybo xn o v el. ,Please!

    This caused the others to protest. They held cameras and microphones and kept pressing in front of them. The cameras shed desperately, making it difficult to open their eyes.

    Bo Xiao was caught off guard and An Rao slipped and fell to the ground. Blood immediately flowed from her leg.

    However, even at this moment, the reporters still pointed their cameras at An Rao and took photos. The shes never stopped.

    Bo Xiao could not care less and hurriedly called an ambnce to send An Rao to the hospital.

    Thinking of those people¡¯s faces, Bo Xiao gritted his teeth. He had given everything to protect these people, but these people wanted to destroy his An Rao.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯ll ask the doctor first. Stay here and apany Bo Xiao for a while.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    The lights in the operating theater were always on. Bo Xiao smoked one cigarette after another. Jun Shiling walked over and sat beside him. He patted his shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten the top experts toe over.¡±

    Bo Xiao nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to say this between us.¡± Jun Shiling took the cigarette from Bo Xiao¡¯s fingertips and stubbed it out. ¡°Smoke less. You still have to apany An Raoter.¡±

    Bo Xiao sat still and allowed Jun Shiling to take the cigarette away. Jun Shiling did not say anything and sat beside Bo Xiao.

    Half an hourter, the operating theater door finally opened and the doctor walked out. ¡°Is the patient¡¯s family around?¡±

    Bo Xiao immediately stood up, his voice trembling slightly. ¡°Doctor, how¡¯s the situation?¡±

    The doctor took off his mask. ¡°The child is safe.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly turned red and he looked agitated. ¡°I don¡¯t want the child. How is the adult?¡±

    The doctor frowned. ¡°She¡¯s safe. It¡¯s just that she¡¯s bleeding a little too much. She needs to recuperate in the hospital for a while.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Bo Xiao finally felt relieved. As long as An Rao was fine, everything was fine.

    Just as Bo Xiao finished speaking, a nurse pushed the bed out of the operating theater.

    Bo Xiao hurriedly followed. On the bed, An Rao¡¯s eyes were closed and her face was pale. Her hand was connected to the medicine tube. She looked haggard and weak, and Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were red.

    He followed the nurse to the ward and watched them settle An Rao down. Only then did he step forward and gently pull An Rao¡¯s little finger.

    Because of the medicine, An Rao¡¯s hand was cold. Bo Xiao pulled the nket for her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    An Rao was most afraid of the cold and pain. It was all his fault for not being able to protect her, causing her to be injured like this when she was pregnant.

    Bo Xiao apanied An Rao for a while and stood up to look for the doctor. Unexpectedly, just as he took two steps, his expression suddenly turned cold. On the door of the ward, a camera was facing this way.

    Bo Xiao opened the door. Outside were two sneaky men in baseball caps. Seeing Bo Xiaoe out, the two of them ran.

    However, Bo Xiao¡¯s speed was not something they couldpare to. Bo Xiao ran two steps and kicked the two of them in the back. The two of them staggered and fell to the ground.

    ¡°Bo Xiao!! You¡¯re a national general!! Do you still have any image?! You¡¯re breaking thew!!¡± Sensing the thick murderous aura on Bo Xiao, one of the reporters covered the camera in his arms and shouted at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°I¡¯m hitting you.¡± Bo Xiao stepped on the camera. With a crack, the lens shattered.

    ¡°Just you wait!! You¡¯re a national personnel. Just you wait for jail.¡± The reporter scrambled to his feet and ran out with the broken camera.

    Bo Xiao clenched his fists and restrained himself for a long time before not chasing after him.

    When Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan came over, Bo Xiao was still standing in the corridor without moving. He lowered his eyes and looked dim.

    Bo Xiao always had a smile on his face. Even though he looked sloppy sometimes, the firm light in his eyes had never extinguished. However, at this moment, Xia Wanyuan acutely felt that the light on Bo Xiao had extinguished.

    Hearing footsteps, Bo Xiao looked up. ¡°You guys go back first. I¡¯ll take care of this ce alone. It¡¯s veryte. You¡¯ve worked hard today.¡±

    ¡°Okay, contact me if there¡¯s anything.¡± At that moment, Bo Xiao probably did not want anyone else by his side. Jun Shiling nodded and instructed Bo Xiao before leaving with Xia Wanyuan.

    Bo Xiao returned to the ward. An Rao was still asleep.

    Looking at An Rao¡¯s calm eyes, which were usually filled with light, Bo Xiao felt a little tired.

    He had always been a firm person, but at this moment, looking at An Rao lying on the bed, he suddenly felt very tired.

    He had given up fame and fortune, even his life to protect others, in exchange for this reward<i>. If I could not even protect An Rao, what was the point of me doing anything?</i>

    The reporter who had been beaten up by Bo Xiao held a grudge and repaired the camera memory card after leaving the hospital.

    That day, the news of ¡°Bo Xiao beating up the reporter after he was released¡± rushed to various social media.

 Chapter 1088 - CEO Jun Deals with Keyboard Warrior

    <h4>Chapter 1088: CEO Jun Deals with Keyboard Warrior</h4>

    Not only did some reporters not get the news they wanted, but they were also beaten up by Bo Xiao and their interview equipment was destroyed. Naturally, they had personal emotions when writing the news.

    The report hid the fact that An Rao was present. It exaggerated the fact that the reporter had been beaten up by Bo Xiao just by asking a question.

    ¡°I¡¯m really speechless. I just want to ask, are the generals that we taxpayers spend so much money to raise like this? They eat our tax pay, live in a luxurious house, marry a big celebrity, and even betray the country. Such a person still has the cheek to hit a reporter?? Why? If others can interview him, why can¡¯t I?¡±

    There were a fewrge photos of Bo Xiao kicking the reporter to the ground. The media reporters were very good at taking photos. In the photos, Bo Xiao was tall and strong, but he stepped on a thin reporter to the ground. It made people feel that he was bullying them.

    [Tsk, as far as I know, can someone who entered the seventh prisone out so quickly? Who would believe that Bo Xiao doesn¡¯t have a backer? He can be released so quickly even when colluding with the enemy. Amazing.]

    [ Isn¡¯t he too arrogant? Aren¡¯t reporters supposed to interview people? Why can others ept interviews and only Bo Xiao is more special? He¡¯s indeed someone who can be a general in his twenties. He¡¯s indeed amazing. ]

    [He¡¯s so arrogant. Doesn¡¯t anyonee out to investigate who¡¯s behind him? He¡¯s a gigolo who relied on his backer to climb up the ranks. Now, he¡¯s even beating up reporters on the streets. Does he not take thew seriously?]

    The matter of Bo Xiao hitting the reporter quickly caused a lot ofizens to discuss. Netizens expressed that they were going to be the snowke that braved the world today and be a part of the Inte tyrant Bo Xiao.

    In this information era, as long as one wanted to find it, they could find many of Bo Xiao¡¯s past footprints.

    The news of Bo Xiao entering and leaving the various nightclubs and casinos in America a few years ago had been dug out. It could only be described as extravagant.

    At the same time, everyone found information about Bo Xiao¡¯s biological mother.

    ¡°It turns out that his biological mother was a dancer. Later on, she even became a lunatic. No wonder she could raise someone like Bo Xiao. Look at his extravagant life in the past. He went to all sorts of bars and nightclubs. Such a person is actually a general of our country. Hahahahaha, it¡¯s too funny.¡±

    ¡°ording to the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling doesn¡¯t like to interact with people the most. Bo Xiao even goes to Jun Shiling all day long. Jun Shiling ignores him, but he still sticks to him.¡±

    [ I now have reason to suspect why Bo Xiao would be with An Rao. Didn¡¯t they say that Bo Xiao climbed up through the daughter of a certain leader? Then could Bo Xiao be with An Rao because An Rao and Xia Wanyuan have a good rtionship? Bo Xiao wants to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s thigh. ]

    That night, when most people were sleeping, the Inte was filled with violent revelry.

    Reading on Mybo xn o v el. ,Please!

    Everyone happily discussed Bo Xiao¡¯s materials since he was young and everything about him and An Rao. In the end, everyone believed that Bo Xiao and An Rao were together because he wanted to use An Rao¡¯s connections.

    It was alreadyte at night, and the moonlight was as cold as ice.

    In the ward, An Rao¡¯s hand moved. Bo Xiao, who was at the side, had his eyes closed. He suddenly opened them as if he had sensed something. ¡°An Rao, you¡¯re awake?¡±

    An Rao slowly opened her eyes. When she moved slightly, she felt her stomach hurt. An Rao frowned. ¡°My stomach hurts.¡±

    ¡°Be good. The doctor has already applied medicine for you. You just have to rest for a few days.¡± Bo Xiao leaned over and nted a kiss on An Rao¡¯s forehead. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    ¡°Why are you sorry?¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes revealed confusion. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my fault for not protecting you well.¡± Bo Xiao was filled with fear. When An Rao was carried into the ambnce just now, the way her legs were covered in blood frightened him.

    ¡°No, you¡¯ve already done very well.¡± An Rao smiled at Bo Xiao. ¡°Feel my stomach. He seems to be kicking me gently.¡±

    Bo Xiao carefully ced his hand on An Rao¡¯s stomach. Feeling the tremble in his palm, Bo Xiao was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly. ¡°I feel it.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. An Rao, who has always been afraid of pain, acted as if nothing had happened after such a huge surgery. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡±

    Bo Xiao retracted his hand and sighed softly. He held An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°When the verdict is out, I won¡¯t go out anymore. I¡¯ll apany you at home, okay?¡±

    An Rao was stunned for a moment. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words and nodded at Bo Xiao.

    Although she really hoped that Bo Xiao could apany her at home every day, she knew Bo Xiao well. He would eventually return to that position.

    ¡°Good girl, sleep a while more. I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Bo Xiao touched An Rao¡¯s forehead and smiled at her.

    An Rao grabbed Bo Xiao¡¯s hand and held it tightly before closing her eyes.

    After a night of fermentation, people received news when they woke up in the morning.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up, she naturally saw this.

    After casually flipping through thements online, Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    Usually, she did not care much about the public opinion online. After all, even if they said it, it would not have any substantial impact on her.

    However, when she saw the news about Bo Xiao today, she was really a little angry.

    Xia Wanyuan, who came from chaotic times and wars, knew that the peaceful environment did note from the sky.

    They had to resist the foreign enemies who were eyeing them covetously and suppress the various factions internally, only then could they have a peaceful country. These were all things that countless people had sacrificed their lives for.

    In this era, she had also read a little of China¡¯s history books. More than a hundred years ago, this country was still a weak ce that knelt on the ground and was skinned, pulled out, and drank blood.

    Today, the world was even more turbulent. The foreign enemies were much stronger and cunning than the small surrounding countries in her previous life.

    Behind this, countless people like Bo Xiao blocked the gunfire outside to support the blue sky.

    However, these keyboard warriors could sit quietly in the air-conditioned room and point their fingers at Bo Xiao, cursing him with the most vicious words.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Jun Shiling sensed the change in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s emotions and sat over.

    ¡°How many people will be disappointed if they say this about Bo Xiao?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. Bo Xiao¡¯s every score was exchanged with blood. There was no hint of foul y.

    ¡°Ordinary people often can¡¯t see the whole picture, so they¡¯re easily used.¡± Jun Shilingforted Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to deal with it. Alright, don¡¯t be angry.¡±

 Chapter 1089 - CEO Jun Responds; Support Bo Xiao

    <h4>Chapter 1089: CEO Jun Responds; Support Bo Xiao</h4>

    Although Jun Shiling had beenforting her, Xia Wanyuan was still angered by therge number of nders online. She only ate half of her usual breakfast.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Why are you so angry?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her eyes and did not speak.

    Not only was she feeling indignant for Bo Xiao, but she also recalled her previous life.

    In her previous life, after the country was destroyed, in order topletely cut off the prestige of the Xia Dynasty¡¯s royal family, the enemy spread rumors everywhere.

    At that time, the people¡¯s wisdom had not been developed, and the people at that time were as easy to incite as the currentizens. What others said, the people believed.

    The enemy told the people that her father was licentious and that her father had been punished by the heavens for doing too much evil.

    At that time, she was hidden in the crowd and watched everyone insult her parents with all sorts of dirty words, so she could empathize with him now.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely felt so down. Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll settle it as soon as possible.¡±

    <sub></sub>

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. She took a deep breath and calmed down.

    There were only a few things on Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo, and he usually did not go online. Hence, when he posted this post, no one noticed it at first.

    Until they reacted, the server was once again squeezed to the verge of copse.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°@ Bo Xiao,e back early, let¡¯s drink together.¡±

    ......

    [Wow! CEO Jun, did you read thements online too? Is this a response to Bo Xiao?]

    [I knew it. CEO Jun and Bo Xiao are good friends. Are the keyboard warriors satisfied? Look at Jun Shiling¡¯s Weibo. Other than Xia Wanyuan, has he posted anything else? Bo Xiao is the only one. Can¡¯t this represent their friendship?]

    [Finally, someone stepped forward to support Bo Xiao. CEO Jun is indeed the most unyielding.]

    As Jun Shiling stood up, some of the people who followed suit began to waver. After all, Jun Shiling had a good image in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    <i>It was said that one was marked by thepany one kept. If he could be friends with Jun Shiling, how bad could Bo Xiao be??</i>

    At the same time, Jun Shiling¡¯s executive letter had been sent out. The oue of Bo Xiao¡¯s incident was on the final agenda.

    In the hospital, An Rao woke up. Bo Xiao was standing by the window and looking at the sky outside. The weather was very good today and the sky was blue.

    ¡°Bo Xiao,¡± An Rao subconsciously called out to Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao turned around, looking tired, but he still forced a smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    An Rao reached out to him. Bo Xiao walked over and grabbed An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor to check and see if you¡¯re feeling unwell?¡±

    An Rao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling unwell. I just want you to apany me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao nodded.

    ¡°Then can you tell me how you¡¯ve lived all these years? You¡¯ve never told me.¡± An Rao stared straight into Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes, making him unable to reject her.

    Bo Xiao sat by the bed and began to tell An Rao in detail about his past experiences.

    He said that he had used the excuse of studying abroad to gather information, that he had escaped death countless times, that he had been praised after making a great contribution.

    An Rao listened quietly, her eyes filled with admiration. Bo Xiao lowered his head and saw An Rao¡¯s bright eyes. His mood improved a little and he smiled. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so amazing.¡± An Rao hugged Bo Xiao. ¡°Other people are still in school at your age, but you¡¯re using your strength to protect us. I¡¯m so lucky to have married you.¡±

    Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s head, his eyes filled with a smile. ¡°Silly.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Jiang family, Jiang Kui frowned and was looking at the form reported by his subordinate. ¡°A bunch of trash, why did your performance fall so much?!¡±

    The subordinate said carefully, ¡°CEO Jiang, the market has been upied by the Jun Corporation. It¡¯s difficult for us to get a share.¡±

    Jiang Kui suddenly mmed the table. ¡°Stop using Jun Shiling as an excuse. This is also upied by the Jun Corporation, and that is also upied. Then what use do I have for you?!¡±

    The subordinate rolled his eyes at a ce where Jiang Kui could not see. He thought to himself,?<i>If you¡¯re so good, go and snatch the market from Jun Shiling. You¡¯re both rich descendants, but why can¡¯t youpare to him??</i>

    However, on the surface, the subordinate was still obedient. ¡°CEO Jiang, as you wish.¡±

    ¡°Go down. Let me think.¡± Jiang Kui waved his hand.

    Jiang Kui looked at the declining results every year with a deep gaze.<i>?Does Jun Shiling really not have any weaknesses??</i>

    <i>No,?</i>Jiang Kui suddenly looked up.?<i>Who said that Jun Shiling did not have any weaknesses? Xia Wanyuan was his greatest weakness. Instead of attacking Jun Shiling, it was better to attack Xia Wanyuan to make Jun Shiling unhappy.</i>

    Thinking of this, Jiang Kui called Zou Man. ¡°When will that variety show start?¡±

    ¡°Soon. Why?¡± Zou Man found it strange. Jiang Kui had never been interested in this.?<i>What was going on today? He actually took the initiative to call me and ask.</i>

    ¡°Go and tell the production team to bring it forward as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although she felt that Jiang Kui¡¯s actions were very strange, his words suited her intentions. Zou Man agreed immediately.

    The Jiang family was the sponsor of the production team, so the production team would naturally try their best to satisfy Zou Man¡¯s request. Hence, the overall progress was raised a lot. After adjusting the program n, the production team informed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll look at the time.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan checked her schedule. Only then did she remember that she had forgotten someone in the hotel. She had forgotten to visit Liu Ling for the past two days.

    She called to ask. Fortunately, the hotel staff helped take care of Liu Ling¡¯s food.

    ¡°Sister Xia, I¡¯ve already gotten someone to send you all the stories I thought of in the past.¡± Liu Ling sat on the sofa and ate the cake sent by the hotel while talking to Xia Wanyuan on the phone.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll read itter.¡±

    Coincidentally, Uncle Wang walked in with arge box. ¡°Madam, the courier just sent it over. He said it¡¯s for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it and saw that it was Liu Ling¡¯s manuscript.

    Xia Wanyuan casually flipped through them. They were all silhouettes of ideas. Although they were not systematic, they were novel and interesting. Xia Wanyuan thought of a solution and sent Chen Yun a message, asking him to find some people who knew how to make animations and make these ideas into short videos. They would be released on the market to see how popr everyone was.

    At the same time, in the hotel room, Liu Ling was stuffing the food on the table into her brother¡¯s arms. ¡°Here, eat this.¡±

    ¡°Good daughter, so what you said about you earning money is true?¡± The middle-aged woman, who was originally fierce, was now smiling.

 Chapter 1090 - Slapping the Internet

    <h4>Chapter 1090: pping the Inte</h4>

    Liu Ling nodded. ¡°Really, Mommy, I can earn money. That Sister Xia said that she would give me a lot of money.¡±

    The middle-aged woman smiled until the wrinkles on her face appeared. ¡°That¡¯s good. I knew you were amazing. The ce you¡¯re living in now is quite good. Is it also the ce your Sister Xia found for you?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I see that your ce is spacious and much better than our basement. How about this? We¡¯ll live here and it¡¯ll be convenient to take care of you, okay?¡± Although she said that she was asking, the middle-aged woman had already stood up and began to size up this suite.

    The more she looked, the more the middle-aged woman clicked her tongue. ¡°This ce is toofortable. You wretched girl, why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have brought your brother over.¡±

    ¡°Mom,¡± Liu Ling called out to the middle-aged woman.

    ¡°Hey, my good daughter, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will buy it for you.¡± The middle-aged woman turned around and smiled like a flower.

    ¡°I want to eat braised pork.¡± Liu Ling had not seen her mother smile at her like this for many years. Seeing this smile, Liu Ling felt that everything was worth it.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll buy it for you! Then write a script to earn money. I¡¯ll go now.¡± With that, the middle-aged woman left happily.

    <sub></sub>

    Chen Yun quickly found a suitable team and specially sent someone to organize Liu Ling¡¯s imagination into smooth stories and make them into segmented animations.

    Since it was something Xia Wanyuan had instructed them to do, the team increased their speed and polished a five-minute short video in a few days.

    After Chen Yun showed it to Xia Wanyuan, she nodded in agreement. The team began the production of the next video.

    Chen Yun had also helped organize those scripts. He found them quite interesting. ¡°Wanyuan, these ideas are really interesting. They¡¯re very spiritual. I think these short videos will definitely be popr.¡±

    ¡°Mm, register an ount and publish it. Transfer all the money you obtain to Liu Ling.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so good to that little girl.¡± Chen Yun sighed. Although Xia Wanyuan looked cold, she was really good to people.

    Xia Wanyuan did notment. Liu Lingcked money and had originally changed it ording to her script. It was just right to give her the money.

    In order to make it easier for Liu Ling to stay, Xia Wanyuan had the hotel staff change her suite. The suite had two bedrooms.

    The suite was filled with everything. There was a sofa, a television, a bed, and even a kitchen.

    At this moment, the entire suite had already be a small home.

    Liu Ling¡¯s younger brother was ying with toys on the carpet. Her mother was lying on the sofa at the side, munching on melon seeds and throwing the skin underground. The expensive wool carpet was unrecognizable from the melon seeds.

    Liu Ling sat by the window and wrote a script, but her mother was watching television too loudly. Liu Ling said carefully, ¡°Mom, can you be quiet? I have to work.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother spat out the melon seed shell and subconsciously wanted to scold her like before. However, when she came back to her senses, she suddenly remembered that everything in the house was because of the papers Liu Ling had written.

    She wiped her hands on her clothes and reached out to turn off the television. ¡°Okay, write yours. Mom will cook for you. What do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°I want to eat braised pork.¡± Liu Ling had liked to eat this since she was young, but in the past, she had never made this for herself.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s make this.¡±

    Before Liu Ling¡¯s mother could enter the kitchen, Liu Ling¡¯s younger brother started fooling around. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to eat braised pork. I want to eat hamburgers!! I hate the smell of braised pork!!¡±

    <sub> .</sub>

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother nced at her precious son, then at Liu Ling. ¡°Good daughter, look at this.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s eyes turned red, but she was used to it. She nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s eat hamburgers. I like hamburgers too.¡±

    ¡°Good!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother looked at Liu Ling in admiration. ¡°Our Ling¡¯er is still the most obedient, unlike your younger brother. He¡¯s young and insensible. You¡¯re the most obedient. You know how to earn money and give in to your younger brother.¡±

    Liu Ling, who had never been praised by her parents, forced back the tears in her eyes and smiled happily.

    <i>As long as I could get my mother to praise me, it was fine if I did not eat the braised pork. I would let my brother do whatever he wanted.</i>

    <i>As long as my parents did not abandon me.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    A few days had passed, but the discussion about Bo Xiao on the Inte had notpletely dissipated.

    After all, Bo Xiao¡¯s identity was special. Too many people used him for an article, and Weibo was in chaos.

    Seeing that the public opinion was getting more and more crooked, Jun Shiling posted a new post.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°Bo Xiao has always fought with his blood. No one can deny him.¡±

    [CEO Jun has finallye out to p the haters.]

    [ Ahhhhh, you finally stood up and spoke up for Bo Xiao. Did you see those jealousments? Isn¡¯t CEO Jun¡¯s words more effective than your wild guesses? ]

    [Hehe, the world is just as dark. It¡¯s just that trying to hide it makes it more obvious. I¡¯ve seen many such things.]

    [Is the person in front crazy? How do you know? Did someone call you and tell you? What others say all day is wrong. Only you¡¯re right. There¡¯s something wrong.]

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s words, the online public opinion was reversed.

    However, there were still many people who questioned how Bo Xiao, who used to be so extravagant, could achieve so much at such a young age.

    Just as everyone was arguing, Jun Shiling, who had been silent just now, actually updated another post when no one was paying attention.

    This time, he sent nine photos in a row.

    These photos introduced how Bo Xiao had obtained those huge achievements.

    The Bo Xiao in this was no longer the usual impression he had in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    He was no longer handsome. He was even wrapped in bandages and his face could not be seen clearly. There were all sorts of wounds and his flesh was blurry, making one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Just looking at it made one¡¯s heart ache, let alone Bo Xiao, who had experienced this personally, more than once.

    Behind the photo, Jun Shiling wrote this sentence.

    ¡°Behind every honor is Bo Xiao¡¯s blood. A tribute.¡±

    Theizens fell silent. Thinking of their attitude towards Bo Xiao these few days, they thought that they probably did not even have the right to apologize to Bo Xiao.

    <i>How did we treat Bo Xiao these few days? How did we abuse him online??</i>

    They called him a gigolo, scolded him for relying on others to climb up the ranks, and said that he was sinister and cunning.

    Theizens turned around and flipped through theirments for the past few days. They were all silent.

    Compared to the wounds on Bo Xiao¡¯s body, the way they held the keyboard looked very ugly. It was as if a smelly bug was criticizing a flying swan. It was ridiculous and sad.

 Chapter 1091 - Entire Internet Apologizes

    <h4>Chapter 1091: Entire Inte Apologizes</h4>

    They knew that it was useless to apologize now. After all, the damage had been done, but everyone still spontaneously scrolled through the topic ¡°Sorry Bo Xiao¡± and leftments on Bo Xiao¡¯s Weibo in groups.

    [I¡¯m sorry. I judged a gentleman by my petty standards. I apologize for my previous insults.]

    [In this world, there are always some people who are doing things that ordinary people can¡¯t imagine, and ordinary people¡¯s narrow horizons can¡¯t see the light of the sun and moon at all. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m that ordinary person, and you¡¯re the light of the sun and moon.]

    [I¡¯m here to apologize. In order to express my deepest apology, I bought all of An Rao¡¯s endorsements. I¡¯m sorry.]

    [The person in front, there¡¯s such a thing?? But to be honest, your method is really not bad. Isn¡¯t the most direct way to express apology ¨C money? Buying An Rao¡¯s product is equivalent to indirectly apologizing to Bo Xiao. Charge!]

    The apology went astray as they spoke, to the point where theypeted in the number of endorsements.

    The product merchants who were endorsed by An Rao never expected that as they watched, the sales of their products soared and directly sold out.

    In the hospital, An Rao leaned on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder and poked his cheek. ¡°Look, they¡¯ve alle to apologize to you. You¡¯re a hero. Although this apology camete, you deserve it.¡±

    Bo Xiao pressed An Rao¡¯s hand to his mouth and kissed it. ¡°I don¡¯t care about this anymore.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles as she snorted softly. Then, she leaned over and hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s arm. ¡°Look, I knew it. You¡¯re the best.¡±

    Bo Xiao lowered his head and kissed An Rao. ¡°Get well quickly.¡±

    ¡°The doctor said that I¡¯ll be fine after resting for two more days.¡± An Rao touched her stomach. The baby seemed to have sensed his mother¡¯s presence and kicked her inside.

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll get married when you¡¯re discharged.¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao. His fox-like eyes were filled with love and were especially attractive.

    An Rao was stunned by Bo Xiao¡¯s beauty and only reacted after a while. ¡°Didn¡¯t we get married long ago?¡±

    <i>Bo Xiao and I had long gotten our marriage certificate. Why would I need to get married??</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m talking about the wedding.¡± Bo Xiao tapped An Rao¡¯s forehead. ¡°I can¡¯t wait. I want you to marry me with our child.¡±

    Initially, he had nned to discuss the wedding after An Rao gave birth. However, everything that had happened in the past few days made him suddenly realize that he did not want to wait a moment longer. He wanted An Rao to be the upright Madam Bo in the eyes of the world.

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao was stunned. Joy exploded in her heart like fireworks. She touched her earlobe in embarrassment. ¡°So anxious.¡±

    However, in the next second, An Rao shook her head repeatedly. ¡°No, no.¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m pregnant. I¡¯ll look ugly in a wedding dress.¡± An Rao had dreamed of wearing a wedding dress for a long time, but now that she was pregnant, her stomach was so big. She would definitely look ugly in a wedding dress.

    Bo Xiao stroked her hair. ¡°You look good. Will you marry me?¡±

    An Rao looked up and met Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. They were filled with her. An Rao subconsciously blushed. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°After we get married, I¡¯ll retire and focus on apanying you, filming, and walking.¡±

    An Rao pursed her lips. She knew that Bo Xiao was really hurt this time.

    Bo Xiao just did not say it, but he had grown up in the Bo family alone and had been treated coldly. He was actually a very sensitive person. In the eyes of outsiders, Bo Xiao was an iron-blooded general, but An Rao knew that Bo Xiao¡¯s heart was soft.

    It was precisely because it was soft that it was easily hurt.

    However, at the same time, she knew that Bo Xiao was only saying this in a moment of anger. Back then, she liked him because of the high spirits he had when he protected the country.

    That night in Continent F, the look of Bo Xiao jumping out of the window in sparks had never dissipated in front of her.

    She could feel that Bo Xiao¡¯s spirit had never dissipated. It was a love for the country that was rooted in his bones.

    However, An Rao did not expose Bo Xiao. She only nodded in response. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, Jun Shiling read thements on Weibo to Xia Wanyuan one by one.

    ¡°Are you still angry? Look, the verdict is out and the matter has been resolved. Why are you still frowning?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took her phone and flipped through it. When she saw the apologyments, her eyes flickered and the pressure in her heart eased a little. She leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Bo Xiao wants to hold a wedding with An Rao.¡±

    ¡°I know. I¡¯ve already asked Lin Jing to help.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was in a better mood, Jun Shiling threw his phone away and hugged her waist.

    ¡°I want to design a wedding dress for An Rao.¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly sat up and walked straight upstairs to the study.

    Looking at his hand that was hanging in midair, Jun Shiling held his forehead helplessly.?<i>Alright.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    The first short video designed by the animation team was quickly put into the market. As Xia Wanyuan had expected,

    The novel and cute perspective, coupled with the superb skills of the team Chen Yun had found, quickly became popr on the short video website, arousing everyone¡¯s imagination of the sci-fi world.

    On the short video website, when the number of clicks reached a certain number, the tform would calcte the remuneration based on the traffic and send the reward to the creator.

    The day Chen Yun received the money, he transferred it to Liu Ling and added, ¡°This is a small video created ording to your imagination. Wanyuan asked me to transfer this money to you. Keep it for your own use.¡±

    In the hotel, Liu Ling received the money and hurriedly took it to show his mother, who was munching on melon seeds. ¡°Mom, look, I earned money.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother took the phone and her eyes lit up. She spat all the melon seeds in her mouth on the ground. ¡°Good daughter, you did well. Coincidentally, your brother needs to go to school. We originally wanted to send him to an ordinary primary school. Since he¡¯s rich now, let¡¯s change him to a noble primary school beside us. The teaching quality there is good. You shouldn¡¯t have any objections, right?¡±

    Liu Ling bit her lower lip and looked at the bnce on her phone. This was the first time she had seen so much money.

    However, facing her mother¡¯s angry expression, Liu Ling was subconsciously afraid of being despised by her mother again. She hurriedly nodded. ¡°Okay, no objections.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a good girl.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother picked up her phone and pulled her son, who was ying with toys, out.

    She did not look at the road when she went out and bumped into the hotel staff.

    ¡°Hey, why don¡¯t you have eyes when you walk?!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother shouted.

    ¡°Obviously.¡± The staff subconsciously wanted to retort, but herpanion gently pulled her sleeve.

    ¡°Don¡¯t provoke her. Xia Wanyuan asked them to stay here. We can¡¯t afford to offend her.¡±

 Chapter 1092 - Suppressing Su Yueran

    <h4>Chapter 1092: Suppressing Su Yueran</h4>

    Hearing herpanion¡¯s words, the staff swallowed her words.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother rolled her eyes at them. ¡°Hmph, how dare a lousy waiter challenge me?¡±

    With that, Liu Ling¡¯s mother pulled her son and swaggered away.

    It was only when they disappeared into the elevator that the staff frowned andined, ¡°What kind of temperament is this? Why would Xia Wanyuan be involved with such a person? Is it true?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Thepanion whispered, ¡°Thest time I saw Xia Wanyuane to the hotel to see them with my own eyes, tsk tsk. I feel that Xia Wanyuan has been deceived. Look at this family. They have no manners at all. Xia Wanyuan even treats them so well.¡±

    The staff chatted as they walked in. When they passed by the suite, they nced at the dirty scene inside. Everyone looked at each other and secretly prayed that they would not be assigned to this area to clean.

    People in the hotel industry were most afraid of meeting such unhygienic guests.

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s wedding was a monthter. Xia Wanyuan specially pushed away a lot of work and focused on designing a wedding dress for An Rao.

    Time passed minute by minute. It was almostte at night, but Xia Wanyuan still did note out of the study. Jun Shiling finally could not help but go in to look for her.

    Just as he approached Xia Wanyuan, before he could speak, his gaze was attracted by her design.

    Although it was still half-finished, it was still so dazzling that one could not look away, even for a man like Jun Shiling who was not interested in wedding dresses.

    Xia Wanyuan carefully drew the carved design on her sleeve and turned to see Jun Shiling. ¡°What time is it?¡±

    ......

    ¡°It¡¯s eleven o¡¯clock. Madam, it¡¯s time to sleep.¡± Jun Shiling shifted his gaze from the paper and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she carefully folded the design and ced it in a huge golden silk box in the corner.

    Jun Shiling nced at it and saw that other than An Rao¡¯s wedding dress design, there was also a rolled-up blueprint in the box.

    Jun Shiling walked over and wanted to reach for it. ¡°What is this?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan panicked and turned around to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, pulling his hand back and cing it on her waist. ¡°You can¡¯t look.¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow slightly. ¡°Is there anything I can¡¯t see?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°I¡¯ll show you in the future. Not now.¡±

    Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan too well. He had already guessed what it was, but he still followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s intentions. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t look if you say so.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan turn around and carefully put down An Rao¡¯s design.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan had already rejected a lot of work for this design, there was a schedule that she had to go to. It was known as the most important ¡°Golden Film Award¡± in the domestic film industry.

    Ever since it was established, the most eye-catching works and actors would be selected every year. This award was extremely important.

    It could be said that being able to win a ¡°Golden Eagle Award¡± meant that from now on, this actor had a ce in the film industry.

    And Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran were nominated for the Best Actress Award at the ¡°Golden Film Award¡±.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you must wear something more beautiful this time. The super beautiful kind!!¡± Chen Yun was worried sick about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance. ¡°Even if we can¡¯t win the Best Actress Award, we have to suppress Su Yueran in terms of aura.¡±

    Lu Li worked with Chen Yun every day, so she naturally told Chen Yun about how Xia Wanyuan had sent her to the hospital after she was bitten that day and missed the audition.

    Chen Yun had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he could still smell something abnormal.

    However, objectively speaking, Su Yueran¡¯s acting skills were still not bad. Furthermore, Su Yueran had many movie works. Although he trusted Xia Wanyuan very much, the objective conditions were there after all. He did not think that Xia Wanyuan could firmly win the Best Actress Award.

    Taking a step back, Su Yueran had a higher chance of winning the award than Xia Wanyuan.

    However, she would not lose face. Even if she did not win the award, she had to show her cards.

    Mu Feng was not around, so Chen Yun specially invited the top styling team in the country to style Xia Wanyuan.

    After trying on one set of clothes after another, Chen Yun was not satisfied. ¡°It doesn¡¯t match Wanyuan¡¯s skin color.¡± ¡°The clothes aren¡¯t beautiful enough.¡± ¡°Wanyuan is too beautiful. The clothes look dull.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the mirror helplessly. ¡°I designed a spring gown for Xiu Yist week. Why don¡¯t you try that?¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Yun pped his hands.?<i>How could we have forgotten that Xia Wanyuan, this big designer, was sitting here? Why would we need to find other clothes??</i>

    Not long after, Xiu Yi sent someone to send the gown over. When Xia Wanyuan changed and walked out of the fitting room, everyone was stunned.

    ¡°Wow.¡± Little stars began to appear in Lu Li¡¯s eyes. ¡°Sister Xia is too beautiful.¡±

    <i>Only such an outstanding and beautiful person could make Xuan Sheng fall deeply in love with her.?</i>Thinking of Xuan Sheng, Lu Li¡¯s eyes darkened.

    Chen Yun clenched his fists in excitement. ¡°It¡¯s too good! I¡¯ll definitely suppress that Su Yueran this time.¡±

    While the stylist was doing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, Chen Yun secretly took a photo and sent it to his current parent, Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow when he received the photo.

    He put his phone back in his pocket and listened to his subordinate¡¯s report seriously.

    However, an hourter, Jun Shiling could not help but call for a pause. ¡°The remaining few people will report separately tomorrow. Today¡¯s meeting is over. Dismissed.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling strode out of the office with Lin Jing.

    The remaining people who had yet to report their work silently looked at each other and saw despair in each other¡¯s eyes.?<i>What¡¯s the difference between reporting to CEO Jun alone and courting death??</i>

    At the award ceremony.

    As the ¡°Golden Film Award¡± had a high status in the industry, the actors involved were almost all big shots, and there was nock of top celebrities. The fans at the venue were getting louder and louder.

    Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran could be said to be the two top female celebrities in the entertainment industry. The fans naturallypeted secretly. The lights andnterns for support lined up an entire street.

    Although the night was still very cold, it was spring after all. Coincidentally, it was still the spring equinox. The organizers had specially arranged thousands of flowers on both sides of the red carpet and moved the entire spring to the ceremony venue in advance.

    The media reporters were already waiting, and the live-stream tform was packed.

    One by one, familiar actors walked across the red carpet. The fans¡¯ voices rose and fell.

    However, everyone knew that the two most eye-catching people tonight had not entered the venue.

    The fans looked forward to it. Finally, nearly half an hour after the red carpet began, they heard the host announce.

    ¡°Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan are about to arrive at the venue. Fans, are you ready?¡±

 Chapter 1093 - CEO Jun Is Here to Save the Situation!

    <h4>Chapter 1093: CEO Jun Is Here to Save the Situation!</h4>

    Just as the host finished speaking, deafening cheers sounded.

    After all, most of the fans present today were here for Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran.

    Not far away, a ck car slowly drove over. The bodyguards weed it. Su Yueran walked out of the car in a white cheongsam.

    The temperature at night was low, and the others were still wearing thick coats. Su Yueran¡¯s fair shoulders were especially eye-catching in the night. The sound of the shutter rose and fell.

    Su Yueran walked forward in her high heels and stood in front of the red carpet, but she did not continue forward. She looked at the host at the side. ¡°I heard that Xia Wanyuan is about to arrive. Why don¡¯t I wait for her? I¡¯ve filmed with her before and haven¡¯t walked the red carpet with her.¡±

    Just as Su Yueran finished speaking, deafening cheers sounded.

    The host naturally agreed happily. ¡°Yueran, are you benefiting your fans? Do you believe that the audience in the live-stream has already gone crazy?¡±

    The host knew the fans very well. At this moment, the live-stream was already blurred by thements.

    [Ahhh, two great beauties fighting on the same stage. What kind of Asura Arena is this?]

    [Su Yueran is so beautiful. I wonder what Xia Wanyuan will look like today. Let me put on my sses and prepare to see a beauty.]

    Not long after, there was a scream. Not far away, a ck Rolls-Royce slowly entered.

    Chen Yun got out of the car first and walked to the back door to help Xia Wanyuan open the car door.

    ......

    A pair of high heels decorated with diamonds appeared in the camera. Chen Yun opened the door and a ball of spring color surged out of the car.

    The entire scene was silent.

    Because they had never seen Xia Wanyuan like this.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was cold and unapproachable. Her usual style was also cold.

    But today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a pink and purple ¡°flower fairy¡± dress.

    The entire gown had a wide skirt, and there were thousands of small flowers embroidered on the thin skirt. It was as if she was wearing the entire spring.

    Her hair was tied up behind her head, and she was wearing a wreath made of all kinds of flowers, softening Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes.

    [What kind of fairy is this? Is she a cute little princess?!]

    [ Has Xia Wanyuan really given birth?! This is too fake. Is this state different from a young girl? ]

    [I¡¯m starting to understand CEO Jun¡¯s joy. With such a little fairy in my arms, is there anything happier in the world?]

    Facing the fans¡¯ screams and endless shes, Xia Wanyuan slowly walked to the red carpet.

    The host knew very well that the two of them were the highlight of the night. ¡°Wanyuan, Yueran has been waiting for you for a long time. Today¡¯s single red carpet is an exception for the two of you to be a duo red carpet.¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, the screams and shutters became even louder.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Su Yueran, who was standing not far away. Su Yueran nodded slightly at her and extended a hand to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, why don¡¯t we go in together?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended on Su Yueran¡¯s outstretched hand. She did not want to have any contact with Su Yueran, but under the gazes of everyone, if she rejected, it would make her look petty.

    Xia Wanyuan moved her mouth and was about to say something when the reporters around her ran away. The camera moved from them to their backs.

    Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran turned around at the same time.

    Behind them, Jun Shiling was dressed in an exquisite suit, making his tall figure look even taller. His carved facial features were as handsome as a god under the light.

    [Did my eyes win some award today? I can see so many immortal figures.]

    [So handsome. This is probably the work of a domineering CEO.]

    Seeing Jun Shiling striding over, Su Yueran¡¯s eyes flickered. She lowered her eyes to hide the expression in them.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were smiling. As Jun Shiling walked, he reached out to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took a few steps forward and pulled Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gazended on Xia Wanyuan. The photo Chen Yun had sent was already very beautiful, but when he saw her in person, Jun Shiling was still uncontrobly stunned by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Very beautiful.¡± Jun Shiling smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    In front of so many people, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly, causing the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes to deepen.

    ¡°I¡¯ll walk the red carpet with you.¡± Jun Shiling took a step forward and let Xia Wanyuan hold his arm.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and followed Jun Shiling forward.

    On the flowery red carpet, Jun Shiling was noble. Xia Wanyuan was like a fairy who had walked out of a myriad of flowers. The two of them walked together, and everyone¡¯s gazesnded on them.

    It was rare for Jun Shiling to appear. The reporters and media wished they could stick the camera on him. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling entered the ceremony and all the cameras left with them.

    The host looked at Su Yueran, who was standing beside the red carpet in a cheongsam, and looked a little awkward.

    He had just told her to leave first, but she did not. Now, all the media reporters had run away, leaving Su Yueran alone. It was not easy to clean up the mess.

    Sensing the host¡¯s gaze, Su Yueran smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m preparing to go in too.¡±

    Su Yueran still looked calm. She walked onto the red carpet and maintained a perfect posture.

    However, this time, there were no cameras around her. She habitually waved to the side. When she reacted, she hurriedly retracted her hand with an unnatural look in her eyes.

    In the venue, the organizer had specially added a chair for Jun Shiling. The moment the two of them sat down, they attracted the attention of the entire venue.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan spoke to themselves. The others looked at the two of them with their own thoughts.

    Su Yueran¡¯s seat was originally side by side with Xia Wanyuan. With Jun Shiling added, now, it was Xia Wanyuan on the left and Su Yueran on the right.

    [ Emmmm, am I thinking too much about this seating? Why do I feel a little awkward? ]

    [You¡¯re not alone in front. For some reason, I feel like CEO Jun has two women in his arms. Hahaha.]

    Su Yueran sat down and turned to greet Xia Wanyuan. She also nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling replied calmly, his gaze nevernding on Su Yueran.

    The award ceremony went ording to the process as usual.

    Su Yueran watched the ceremony on stage while paying attention to Jun Shiling beside her.

    His gaze never left Xia Wanyuan. Su Yueran pursed her lips and moved her finger slightly. The ring on her index finger rolled to Jun Shiling¡¯s feet.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll pick it up myself.¡± Su Yueran smiled apologetically, then bent down to pick it up.

    She was wearing a cheongsam with a high slit, and her heels were extremely high. It was very inconvenient for her to bend down. With a slight bend, it spilled spring color.

 Chapter 1094 - Poaching in Front of CEO Jun

    <h4>Chapter 1094: Poaching in Front of CEO Jun</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan gestured for Jun Shiling to help Su Yueran pick it up. Even if Jun Shiling did not care about public opinion, she did not want to see Jun Shiling being poked and scolded.

    Jun Shiling nced at his feet, took a tissue, bent down to wrap the ring with a tissue, and handed it to Su Yueran.

    Su Yueran smiled, the ruby earrings shining under the light. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    [Um, I know it¡¯s not right, but I feel like they can be shipped. Su Yueran is so beautiful too. She¡¯s sopatible with CEO Jun.]

    [The person in front, is there something wrong with your brain? CEO Jun and Xia Wanyuan are husband and wife. Can you have a bottom line?]

    [That¡¯s right. What¡¯s there to ship? Didn¡¯t you see that CEO Jun wrapped the ring in tissue paper? He probably is a clean freak and doesn¡¯t want to touch someone¡¯s things at all.]

    In thements, the fans were noisy. The award ceremony had already begun to reveal the Best Actor of the year.

    ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Best Actor is Yan Ci! Let us congratte him!¡± As the host announced, Yan Ci¡¯s movie segment began to appear on the big screen.

    On the streette at night, the middle-aged father was holding a sesame seed cake in his hand. As he ate, he looked at the lights of the city with tears in his eyes. He had just lost his job and his child had just entered primary school. Thinking that his family had to rely on him to live, the middle-aged father sighed fiercely.

    After finishing arge sesame seed cake in two to three bites, the middle-aged father wiped his hands on his clothes and plunged into the migrant market that was still filled with peoplete at night.

    The crowd surged. The middle-aged father looked at the prices disyed by the contractors and filled in his information at the various stalls.

    This was a scene without a dialogue or an opponent. However, after watching it, no one questioned that Yan Ci could not win this Best Actor award.

    Yan Ci¡¯s facial features were clearly extremely handsome, but in this award-winning video, he used his acting skills to hide his dazzling appearance and acted out the heartache and small hope of a middle-aged father, making one¡¯s heart ache.

    The sh reached Yan Ci. He was wearing a ck and white checkered suit with a diamond brooch on his chest. He had the facial features of a top male celebrity in the entertainment industry. He was so handsome that no one could believe that he was the middle-aged man in the camera just now.

    Yan Ci walked onto the stage and the host handed the microphone to him. ¡°Congrattions to our Best Actor Yan. Your acting skills have improved even more. This scene almost made me cry.¡±

    Yan Ci took the microphone and smiled at the camera, causing thousands of female fans to scream crazily in front of the screen.

    ¡°Thank you for the organizer¡¯s approval and the fans¡¯ support. To be able to win this award today, I want to thank someone. Without her, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to break through my limits and take another step forward in acting.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± The host continued, ¡°Best Actor Yan, who are you talking about? Can you tell us?¡±

    Yan Ci held the microphone and looked below the stage. He nced around and settled on a certain seat.

    The camera followed Yan Ci¡¯s gaze and instantly, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face appeared on the big screen. The room was in an uproar, and thements were filled with exmation marks.

    Sensing the camera, Xia Wanyuan looked up.

    Ever since the production team finished filming, Yan Ci had not seen Xia Wanyuan for a long time. Now that he saw her, Yan Ci could not help but look a little embarrassed.

    [F*ck?! Yan Ci¡¯s gaze, I¡¯m not the only one who thinks this way, right? Does he like Xia Wanyuan?]

    [Yan Ci has acted as a couple with Xia Wanyuan before. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to help but get into character.]

    [ Am I the only one sweating for the handsome Yan Ci? How bold. CEO Jun is still sitting beside Xia Wanyuan! ]

    On the stage, Yan Ci smiled at Xia Wanyuan. His eyes seemed to be dyed with the moonlight, and he was extremely gentle. ¡°My cooperation with Xia Wanyuan has benefited me a lot. Although I¡¯m a senior, I¡¯ve really learned a lot from her. Xia Wanyuan should have a share in the honor of this Best Actor.¡±

    Beside Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. Xia Wanyuan gently hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm andforted him.

    The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little awkward. The host hurriedly came out to save the situation. ¡°Both of you are outstanding actors. It¡¯s not the first time Best Actor Yan has won an award. Can you share the tricks with the juniors?¡±

    The topic was changed, but everyone present and the fans could tell that Yan Ci had a faintyer of mncholy.

    In the Shen family, Shen Xiu had just returned from work when he saw his sister crying. Shen Xiu had never seen Shen Xing like this before. He was shocked and hurriedly went forward. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who bullied you?¡±

    Shen Xing wiped her tears. ¡°I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have said that Xia Wanyuan wasn¡¯t worthy of Yan Ci back then. If only Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci were together back then. I don¡¯t want Yan Ci to be my husband anymore. I want him to be happy.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Shen Xiu nced at the screen and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold aura in the camera.

    Shen Xiu looked at his sister in disdain. ¡°Do you think CEO Jun is a vegetarian? Dream on.¡±

    The small episode that had arisen because of Yan Ci did not cause much of a storm because of Jun Shiling.

    After the Best Actor award ceremony, the long-awaited Best Actress award was revealed.

    The organizers knew that everyone was anxious, so they deliberately whetted their appetite and interrupted with advertisements for a full ten minutes before revealing the Best Actress award of the ¡°Golden Film Award¡±.

    ¡°I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. Next, I¡¯ll reveal the Best Actress award for this Golden Eagle Award.¡± The host went on stage with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s watch two performance clips of the nominated candidates.¡±

    Coincidentally, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performances were all crying scenes.

    One was the pain of losing her son, and the other was crying for the vigers.

    The single mother yed by Su Yueran worked hard for the entire day and jogged home with the hamburger her son wanted to eat. However, when she reached the door of her house, she received a call from the police. She was in a daze the entire way. When she arrived at the police station, she confirmed the identity of the deceased.

    She finally could not take it anymore. She sat on the ground and cried as she ate the burger. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to eat? Get up. Mommy will eat with you, okay?¡±

    At this point, the video ended. Many people in the audience were already secretly wiping their tears.

    ¡°The next video is from the performance of the nominated Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    The killer Snow Wolf yed by Xia Wanyuan finally regained her memory. When she returned to the vige, she realized that the entire vige was already blood red and the smell of blood was soaring.

    Arge number of memories rushed towards her. She could not hold on and fell to the ground.

    Smoke was still rising from the vige in the distance, as if the vigers were about to start cooking. However, they would never be able to eat this meal.

    Snow Wolf¡¯s expression was dull. Only her eyes were still moving. These vigers were the only warm mes in her life. Now that the mes were extinguished, the light in her eyes was also extinguished.

    A tear fell from Snow Wolf¡¯s eye and fell into the snow, never to be seen again.

    At this point, the entire venue was silent. Xia Wanyuan did not cry loudly. It was just a tear, but the despair of having her faith extinguished enveloped the venue for a long time.

    Su Yueran cried well and Xia Wanyuan was silent well. For a moment, no one could tell who was better.

    The two video performances were over. It was time to announce the winner of the Best Actress Award. However, the lights on the stage did not light up for a long time.

    The audience waited for a while, but the lights were still dark. In the quiet hall, small discussions began.

    At this moment, the host was about to die of anxiety. Just as he was about to go on stage to announce the winner, he subconsciously opened the card in advance and took a look. What he saw shocked him. The card was actually nk and there was no one¡¯s name.

    <i>How was I going to broadcast this??</i>The host hurriedly asked the staff to contact the organizers to see what had happened. However, the staff did not return for a long time. Seeing that the scene was starting to be chaotic, the host forced himself to calm down and walked onto the stage.

    ¡°Wow, even the lights are charmed by our two beauties¡¯ performance. I believe everyone is looking forward to the results of the Best Actress reveal. Please allow me to keep you in suspense and broadcast a few short videos.¡±

    Therge screen on the stage began to y the video that the organizers had prepared.

    At this moment, the backstage meeting room was filled with low pressure.

    ¡°We have to decide quickly who to give the Best Actress award to. We can¡¯t hesitate anymore. The people outside are dying of anxiety.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, both of them have backgrounds. We can¡¯t afford to offend anyone. This is really difficult for us.¡±

    The managers looked at each other. At that moment, the meeting room door was knocked open and an assistant sent a folder over.

    Everyone surrounded her and took a look. Then, their expressions became very ugly. ¡°Why don¡¯t we let Su Yueran win? Her family has already taken action. It¡¯s unreasonable not to give them face.¡±

    On the stage, the host was almost unable to speak. His palms were sweating profusely. At this moment, the staff beside him gestured and the host finally heaved a sigh of relief.

    He finally looked at the camera confidently. ¡°Now is the time to reveal the mystery. The person who won this year¡¯s Golden Film Award is Miss Su Yueran!¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a round of apuse. The camera was aimed at Su Yueran. On the big screen, Su Yueran smiled and stood up.

    At the same time, a portion of the camera was directed at Xia Wanyuan.

    After all, she and Su Yueran hadpeted for the same position. Su Yueran had obtained it, but Xia Wanyuan had failed. Everyone wanted to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reaction.

    Unexpectedly, in the camera, Xia Wanyuan did not look disappointed at all. She was talking to Jun Shiling beside her when Jun Shiling reached out and removed the flower by her ear.

    [This dog food, emmm, caught me off guard.]

    [Why would Xia Wanyuan need this award? She¡¯s probably filming for fun now. It probably has nothing to do with her whether she wins or not.]

    On stage, Su Yueran was giving her eptance speech. She looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s seat. ¡°I¡¯m also very grateful to Xia Wanyuan. In the ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ that we just finished filming together, acting with her has improved my acting by quite a bit.¡±

    The host handed the microphone to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Do you have anything to say about Su Yueran winning the award?¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Su Yueran and say simply, ¡°I have nothing to say about her winning with her ability.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan say that she won the award with her own ability, Su Yueran¡¯s eyes flickered.

    To the others, Xia Wanyuan was praising Su Yueran¡¯s acting skills. There was another round of apuse in the hall.

    ¡°She¡¯s not as good as you,¡± Jun Shiling said as he approached Xia Wanyuan. He added, ¡°She¡¯s not as good-looking as you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up as she looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Sweet nothings.¡±

    Jun Shiling did notment. It was fine as long as it was the truth.

    The announcement of the Best Actress was the finale tonight. After Su Yueran left the stage, the entire award ceremony gradually came to an end. Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan until the end of the ceremony.

    ¡°Miss Xia, actually, you acted much better than me.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were about to leave when Su Yueran stood up. ¡°I really don¡¯t deserve this award.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Jun Shiling said, ¡°The Lin family has been in the military for their entire lives. The family has always been open and honest. Why did they raise a bunch of cowardly descendants?¡±

    The smile on Su Yueran¡¯s face froze. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    <i>Jun Shiling knew that I am from the Lin family?</i>

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling ignored Su Yueran and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist as they walked out.

    Xia Wanyuan was not very familiar with the big family factions in Beijing. She looked at Su Yueran curiously. ¡°The Lin family?¡±

    ¡°Mm, Lin Wei¡¯s cousin,¡± Jun Shiling exined for Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Lin Wei??</i>Xia Wanyuan remembered. ¡°Your rotten romance at the southwest base?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan indifferently. ¡°You¡¯re talking about this again.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. Lin Wei was a straightforward person, unlike Su Yueran.

    ¡°Brother Chen, Sister Xia has CEO Jun to pick her up. Can we go back ourselves?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling leave, Lu Li turned around and spoke to Chen Yun.

    ¡°Go back, go back. I wonder what gold and silver you have at home. Little girl, you don¡¯t know how to go out and see the world every day. Why are you running home after work?¡± Chen Yun patted Lu Li¡¯s head in amusement.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Lu Li smiled with two dimples. She made a face at Chen Yun and ran away.

    When Lu Li first stayed in the hotel, she did not know how much money it would cost there in a night. Later on, when she found out about the price of the hotel in Beijing, she was so frightened that she asked Chen Yun for a month¡¯s sry in advance the next day and rented a small house.

    It was already veryte when the g ended. Lu Li went to the supermarket to buy arge pile of things and carried them back to the rented house.

    Lu Li had a likable personality and was innocent. She had a good rtionship with Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant, who often shared some of Xuan Sheng¡¯s schedule with her.

    Hearing that Xuan Sheng was attending a business meeting tonight and had drunk a lot of wine, Lu Li went home and made white fungus soup. She sent it to Xuan Sheng¡¯s hotel at night.

    Lu Li carried the soup box and waited in the hotel lobby for half an hour before she finally saw Xuan Sheng, who looked drunk.

    Lu Li stood up happily and waved at Xuan Sheng. However, in the next second, the smile on her face copsed.

    Behind Xuan Sheng, a sexy woman who was still bare-legged in the cold winter walked up, held Xuan Sheng¡¯s arm, and winked at him affectionately.

    Xuan Sheng looked up and saw the disappointed Lu Li. Her waving hand was still in midair, and the smile in her eyes had notpletely disappeared. They were bright and innocent.

    Xuan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to hug the sexy woman¡¯s waist. He smiled at her. ¡°Let¡¯s go to my room tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay, CEO Xuan.¡± The woman smiled arrogantly. When she passed by Lu Li, she sized up her jeans and sneakers, her eyes filled with mockery.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Seeing Xuan Sheng hug the sexy woman into the elevator, although Lu Li was sad, she was in no position to stop Xuan Sheng.

    The elevator doors slowly closed. The sexy woman¡¯s hand slowly moved down Xuan Sheng¡¯s neck and into his coat. The woman¡¯s red lips parted slightly as she blew at Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, why did you change your mind today? Do you like my perfume today?¡±

    Xuan Sheng frowned slightly. Just as he was about to push the sexy woman away, a hand forcefully blocked the elevator door. The elevator door did not close in time and slowly opened again.

    Lu Li handed a soup box to Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, this is for you. Your stomach will feel better after drinking it.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± The sexy woman looked at the cute soup box mockingly.?<i>Girls nowadays were really old-fashioned. They even used such a method to woo people, and it was even for men like Xuan Sheng.</i>

    Xuan Sheng looked away. ¡°Take it away and leave me alone.¡±

    A hint of sadness shed across Lu Li¡¯s eyes. Thinking of what her grandmother had said, ¡°<i>You can fight for it if you like someone, but don¡¯t disturb him.¡±?</i>Lu Li slowly retracted her hand. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Lu Li nced at Xuan Sheng and the sexy woman beside him before turning to leave.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, you¡¯re so charming. You¡¯re so popr with the little sister.¡± The sexy woman leaned on Xuan Sheng and looked at his handsome face obsessively.

    Xuan Sheng pulled his tie and the elevator gradually rose. It was unknown what Xuan Sheng was thinking, but he looked a little anxious.

    After returning to the hotel room, the sexy woman pulled Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand and took off her clothes the moment she entered. Her curvaceous figure looked even more charming under the light.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, you¡¯re unhappy? Let¡¯s do something happy to indulge ourselves.¡± The sexy woman leaned into Xuan Sheng¡¯s arms.

    During this period of time, Father Xuan and Xuan Li should have known about his mental problems and specially invited a group of professional psychological experts to study his situation. Father Xuan listened to their opinions and found all sorts of photos of Xuan Sheng¡¯s childhood. He used all sorts of methods to make these photos appear in front of him.

    Xuan Sheng, who was already unstable, had aplete rpse of his bipr disorder. It was even more serious than before. It was difficult to relieve it even with medicine.

    In his extreme frenzy, Xuan Sheng thought of a way to resolve this pain in the past. That was to offset the emptiness in his heart through extreme indulgence.

    Hence, at the gathering tonight, when this sexy woman threw herself at him, he did not reject her.

    The woman¡¯s perfume surged into his nose, stirring up the blood in Xuan Sheng. He grabbed her waist and pushed her onto the bed, then leaned over.

    The weather was not good tonight. A strong wind blew outside, mixed with rain. The raindrops hit the window and exploded into a pile of water.

    On the big bed, the sexy woman hugged Xuan Sheng¡¯s neck and leaned forward. ¡°CEO Xuan?¡±

    Xuan Sheng closed his eyes and finally opened them again. He stood up and threw a check at the woman. ¡°Leave.¡±

    ¡°Do Ick your money? Who are you looking down on, Xuan Sheng?!¡± The womanughed in anger at the ticket and sat up. ¡°If you do it, so be it. You have so many excuses and are wasting my time.¡±

    With that, the woman picked up the clothes and left the room angrily.

    Hearing the sound of the heavy rain outside, Xuan Sheng felt the frenzy in his heart worsen. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows and finally stood up and strode out.

    It was already veryte, and there were not many people on the street. In addition, it suddenly rained heavily, and the taxis on the street were already full. The buses had already stopped moving.

    The early spring rain was cold. Lu Li could only hide under the bus stop with the soup box and pray that the rain would stop quickly so that she could go home early.

    However, after waiting for fifteen minutes, the rain showed no signs of weakening. Lu Li was already trembling from the cold, and her clothes were filled with the rain that was blown down by the wind.

    ¡°Achoo.¡± Lu Li sneezed. Just as she was wondering how to get home, a Ferrari suddenly stopped by the bus stop. The car honked.

    Lu Li stuck her head out to take a look and felt that he was not calling her, so she shrank back.

    The horn sounded a few more times. The car window was half opened, revealing Xuan Sheng¡¯s handsome side profile. He looked impatient. ¡°Get in.¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan?!¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes lit up. She hurriedly ran over with the lunch box, but when she reached the car, she stopped. ¡°My clothes are wet.¡±

    ¡°Get in.¡± Xuan Sheng nced at her and said.

    ¡°Ok.¡± Lu Li carefully sat in.

    Xuan Sheng stepped on the elerator, and the wheels sshed.

    Ever since Lu Li got into the car, she had been looking at Xuan Sheng with sparkling eyes. Even if Xuan Sheng wanted to ignore it, he could not ignore this gaze. He frowned. ¡°Turn around.¡±

    Lu Li obediently turned around, but the smile on her face could not be covered. ¡°CEO Xuan, did you speciallye to pick me up?¡±

    <i>As expected, CEO Xuan only looked impatient. In fact, he was still very good!</i>

    ¡°No.¡± Xuan Sheng looked very impatient, and there was a hint of impatience in his handsome eyes. ¡°I sent my lover home. I¡¯ll bring you back on the way.¡±

    Lu Li turned around again. ¡°Liar. I have eyes. I can tell.¡±

    She did not know what Xuan Sheng¡¯s rtionship with that sexy woman was, but she could tell that Xuan Sheng did not like her.

    ¡°¡­¡± It was a red light. Xuan Sheng turned to look at Lu Li. Her sparkling eyes looked innocent and pure, but she was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very clear.

    ¡°Thank you, CEO Xuan. I knew you were a good person.¡± Lu Li smiled at Xuan Sheng. As soon as she finished speaking, her body subconsciously trembled. After being blown by the cold wind for a long time and being drenched by the heavy rain, Lu Li¡¯s limbs were cold as she sat in the car.

    Xuan Sheng saw her rain-soaked clothes and reached out to turn up the heater temperature.

    Half an hourter, Xuan Sheng finally parked the car outside Lu Li¡¯s house.

    Now, Lu Li no longer lived in that dirty and messy vige in the city. Chen Yun introduced her to an ordinary residential area. The lights of the houses had already lit up, making one feel warm on this rainy night.

    To Xuan Sheng, it was extremely simple, but to Lu Li, it was already a super ideal home.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, do you want to go up and sit?¡± Lu Li wanted to heat up the silver fungus soup for Xuan Sheng and let him drink it before leaving.

    Xuan Sheng suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with evilness. ¡°Little girl, do you want to rmend yourself?¡±

    Unexpectedly, Lu Li understood, but she did not leave in embarrassment. Instead, she looked at Xuan Sheng calmly. ¡°You¡¯re Sister Xia¡¯s friend. You won¡¯t do anything to me.¡±

    Xuan Sheng pinched the space between his eyebrows.?<i>Great, she brought up Xia Wanyuan again.</i>

    He looked at Lu Li helplessly. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go up and take a look.¡±

 Chapter 1097 - Can You Be Compared to Xia Wanyuan?

    <h4>Chapter 1097: Can You Be Compared to Xia Wanyuan?</h4>

    Lu Li¡¯s house was as clean and cute as her.

    The house was not big, no more than sixty square meters, but it was extremely neat. Little details that young girls liked could be seen everywhere. There were furry dolls, cute posters, pink wind chimes, and a few beautiful flowers on the table.

    Xuan Sheng looked around, and the restlessness in his heart was inexplicably soothed by these small details. He smiled and fiddled with the small flowers on the table. ¡°You¡¯re so attentive to the house you rented.¡±

    Lu Li poured him a cup of hot tea and smiled until her dimples appeared. Her eyes shone under the light. ¡°This is the best house I¡¯ve ever lived in.¡±

    Lu Li had lived in her hometown in the mountains when she was young. Later on, she stayed in school and rented a house in the city after graduation.

    The most ordinary residential house that Chen Yun had helped her find this time was indeed the best house she had ever lived in.

    Lu Li was very happy. Usually, after work, she would go to the night market and buy some things she liked, slowly turning her little nest into such a warm ce.

    Seeing the satisfaction and joy in Lu Li¡¯s eyes, Xuan Sheng seemed to be infected by her emotions. The corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re quite content.¡±

    Lu Li smiled at him. ¡°CEO Xuan, sit first. I¡¯ll change and make you some supper.¡±

    With that, before Xuan Sheng could reject her, Lu Li ran into the bedroom.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s ¡°no need¡± was stuck in his throat. He shook his head helplessly.

    <i>No wonder Xia Wanyuan would let such a young girl be her manager. </i>

    It was true that Lu Li did not know anything and had a pure personality, but there was something very rare about her. Her personality was pure, but her IQ and EQ were not simple. She looked silly, but she was actually very smart.

    ......

    Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa and casually yed with the rabbit doll.

    Lu Li changed into a long down jacket and walked out of the bedroom. ¡°CEO Xuan, wait for me for a while. I¡¯ll make something to eat.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked up and saw the down jacket on Lu Li. He suddenly found it funny.

    He had experienced so many women and had seen too many scenes of them calling him up in the middle of the night. There were also many people who changed their clothes after calling him up.

    However, when these women left the bedroom, they were either naked or wearing short skirts. They had never seen anyone wearing a down jacket from head to toe like Lu Li.

    Looking at the doll in his hand, Xuan Sheng smiled mysteriously.

    <i>Lu Li was indeed a good girl. Unfortunately, her taste was not good and she liked me.</i>

    The vulgar sounds of pots and pans came from the kitchen. Gradually, a rich fragrance spread towards the living room.

    Xuan Sheng had attended a banquet that night, but other than drinking, he had not even eaten a mouthful of food. Now that he smelled this fragrance, his appetite was aroused.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to eat.¡± Lu Li walked over with two bowls of noodles in a cute rabbit apron.

    ¡°Have some noodles tonight to calm your stomach.¡± Lu Li ced a bowl of noodles in front of Xuan Sheng.

    On the steaming hot noodles, there were not only a few pieces of beef, but also a heart-shaped egg. There were some vegetables beside it, making one¡¯s appetite increase.

    Fifteen minutester, two empty bowls were ced on the table.

    Feeling the rare fill in his stomach, Xuan Sheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes. ¡°Girl, your skills are not bad.¡±

    Lu Li smiled with her white teeth. ¡°Thank you for the praise.¡±

    The sofa was very soft and the room was very warm. Xuan Sheng was sleepy, but looking at Lu Li¡¯s admiring eyes, Xuan Sheng still stood up. ¡°Alright, it¡¯ste. Sleep early.¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan, it¡¯s sote. Where are you going?¡± Lu Li stood up.

    Xuan Sheng turned around and the corners of his eyes curled up slightly with a hint of evilness. ¡°I¡¯ll go and find a beautiful lover. A moment of spring is worth a thousand gold, understand, little friend?¡±

    Lu Li bit her lip. ¡°Can you not find someone else?¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled and took a few steps back to stand in front of Lu Li. He leaned down slightly and stared into Lu Li¡¯s eyes. ¡°If I don¡¯t look for someone else, should I look for you?¡±

    Lu Li widened her almond-shaped eyes and was a little helpless. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Then that¡¯s it.¡± Xuan Sheng reached out and raised Lu Li¡¯s chin. ¡°See? This is the real me. I¡¯m not as gentlemanly and good as you think. I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t imagine how many women I¡¯ve slept with.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was clearly smiling as he spoke, but there were dark waves suppressed in his eyes.

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°I don¡¯t have any other thoughts.¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s thoughts about Xuan Sheng were too simple. She felt that Xuan Sheng was very good. She liked him and wanted to be good to him. Although she was sad to hear thesements, she still wanted to be good to Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need you to be good to me.¡± Xuan Sheng was someone who had seen everything. How could he not understand Lu Li¡¯s expression? He let go of Lu Li¡¯s chin. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can save me. The only person who can save me is Xia Wanyuan. Do you think you can bepared to her?¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s words were really hurtful. Just as he finished speaking, Lu Li¡¯s tears fell. She looked aggrieved and pitiful.

    Seeing Lu Li¡¯s appearance, a hint of pity shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes, but in the end, he did not do anything. He even added, ¡°Your position in my heart is worlds apart from Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Lu Li lowered her head and almost bit her lip to death. She wiped her tears. ¡°I know I¡¯m not as good as Sister Xia. I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you. I definitely won¡¯t pester you anymore.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked away reluctantly, but his words were cold. ¡°That¡¯s good. What¡¯s important is self-awareness. Take care of yourself. Take this money as your hard work these few days.¡±

    As Xuan Sheng spoke, he threw a bank card on the table and turned to leave. The closed door brought a cold wind that blew into Lu Li¡¯s heart.

    She looked at the bank card on the table, then sat on the sofa sadly and called her grandmother.

    On the other end of the line, there was the sound of firewood burning.

    Lu Li knew that her grandparents were definitely sitting around the fire with pork ribs soup stewed on it. There might even be sweet potatoes buried in the fire, and the sweet fragrance lingered in the air. When it was a littleter, they would be able to eat the soft roasted sweet potatoes.

    ¡°Good granddaughter, what¡¯s wrong? Are you home?¡± Grandma¡¯s voice came from the phone.

    Lu Li immediately wanted to go home. She wiped her tears. ¡°Grandma, the person I like hates me.¡±

    ¡°Silly child.¡± Grandma smiled. ¡°If you like him and he likes you, that¡¯s something to be happy about. But if you like him and he doesn¡¯t like you, don¡¯t cry. You can¡¯t ask others to reciprocate your liking, right?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded as her tears fell. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb him anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Grandma replied with a smile. Although she had not read much, more than seventy years of experience had given her a wisdom that surpassed time. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. In the future, you will meet someone whom you like and he will like you too.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li wiped her tears. Even though she was very sad, her grandparents, who were thousands of miles away, filled her empty silence with love. ¡°Grandma, are you roasting sweet potatoes? I can smell the fragrance.¡±

    ¡°Yes, your grandfather and I roasted one each. By the way, your grandfather misses you too. Say a few words to him.¡±

    ...

    At this moment, the space between the mountain vige and the prosperous capital broke through. The grandparents did not say anything tofort Lu Li, but theyforted her with every move. Lu Li was quickly coaxed tough.

    Downstairs, the Ferrari sports car did not leave for a long time.

    Xuan Sheng sat in the car in silence, looking into the distance.

    Lu Li was indeed very good. It was precisely because she was good that she could not waste time on someone like him. He was a person who would live in the mud forever. Why should he ruin such a clean girl?

    A momentter, Xuan Sheng sighed slightly. What he had said just now was indeed too harsh. He was a little worried that Lu Li would be affected by his words.

    Looking at the lights upstairs, Xuan Sheng hesitated for a long time before driving away.

    <i>So be it if I hurt someone. It was better to make her sad for a while than to be sad for the rest of her life.</i>

    When she saw Lu Li the next day, Xia Wanyuan could tell at a nce that Lu Li had cried. Her eyes were swollen, pitiful and cute.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked Lu Li with concern.

    ......

    ¡°No, Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li shook her head. ¡°When can I be as outstanding as you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re very outstanding too. You have your own shining points. Whypare yourself to me?¡±

    Lu Li puffed up her cheeks slightly and looked a little discouraged. She replied weakly, ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her and could roughly guess what was wrong with her, so she did not ask further.

    The highlights ofst night¡¯s Golden Film Award appeared frequently. This morning, all the trending topics were booked by the Golden Film Award.

    Among them, the topics that received the most attention from the audience were naturally Yan Ci¡¯s gratitude to Xia Wanyuan and her fall from the Best Actress Award.

    As a rare male celebrity with both acting skills and looks in the entertainment industry, Yan Ci was a true top celebrity and had attracted countless female fans.

    In the hearts of the female fans, Yan Ci was the flower of the mountains. He should make thousands of girls crazy, but he sat on it and did not react.

    However, after watchingst night¡¯s ceremony, no matter how thick the fan filter was, everyone had to admit that their idol seemed to have fallen out of love.

    [When I saw ¡®Moon As Frost¡¯, I could tell that Yan Ci¡¯s gaze was too real. I know his acting skills are good, but he really gives me a different feeling.]

    [Yan Ci is a little miserable¡­ He began to fall out of love the moment he was moved. I feel so pitiful just thinking about it.]

    [ Didn¡¯t rumors about them spread a long time ago? What if Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan have a problem? ]

    News about Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan were dug out one by one. The video of Xia Wanyuan taking the initiative to hug Yan Ci and approach him was also found.

    [Look at this video. Xia Wanyuan is so proactive. What model couple? Who knows if Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are acting in front of the audience? I think Su Yueran and Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship is not ordinary as well.]

    As theizens spoke, they even took a screenshot of Su Yueran and Jun Shiling sitting together at the award ceremony.

    Jun Shiling handed the ring to Su Yueran. Su Yueran had a gentle smile on her face and looked a littlepatible.

    ¡°Yueran, did your family not control the public opinion this time?¡± The manager asked Su Yueran curiously. The family behind Su Yueran was powerful and had never allowed scandals about Su Yueran to appear in public.

    <i>Why did her scandal with Jun Shiling get exposed this time?</i>

    Su Yueran smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    She took her phone and wanted to click on the news. Unexpectedly, the rumors about her and Jun Shiling had been cleared on Weibo.

    While theizens were eating melon excitedly, the inexplicable trending topic was suddenly removed. Before they could be angry, the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo posted a post.

    @ Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo: ¡°CEO Jun was the one who asked the trending topic to be removed. CEO Jun said that other than Madam, he doesn¡¯t want his name to be ced with others.¡±

    [66666, this is a big shot. A big shot is awesome and rich. He can even remove the trending topic.]

    [I¡¯m willing to eat this dog food. CEO Jun has never lost in expressing loyalty.]

    [ The model of a modern man. As long as my boyfriend can learn one-tenth of this, I won¡¯t be angered to death by him. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was filming on set and did not notice themotion on the Inte at all. She only knew about this when the production team mentioned it.

    During a break, Xia Wanyuan sat at the side to rest. The weather was very good today. There were a few cotton-like white clouds floating in the blue sky. Xia Wanyuan took a photo and sent Jun Shiling a message.

    Xia Wanyuan: (White Cloud Picture)

    Jun Shiling quickly replied,<i>?¡°I miss you too.¡±</i>

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s reply, Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    She looked at the sky and the clouds at dawn. She missed her husband when she was working, and missed him while sitting.

    Without needing to say anything else, the two of them knew what each other was thinking.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The country was peaceful, but the Blue family was shocked.

    As one of the giants of America¡¯s industry, the head of the Blue family suddenly fell seriously ill and was transferred to the hospital. The top experts worked together for nearly a day and night before they finally pulled Mr. Blue back from the brink of death.

    In the ward, Mr. Blue was wearing an oxygen mask. As he breathed with difficulty, he waved at Fang Jin, who was by the bed.

    Fang Jin had followed Mr. Blue for so many years and knew his thoughts very well. In the blink of an eye, Fang Jin ced an electronic screen in front of him.

    On the screen was the scene of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast. She was wearing a soft white sweater and chatting with her fans as she drew. Her beautiful eyes were filled with peaceful gentleness.

    Mr. Blue moved his mouth, and Fang Jin hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°Miss is doing very well. Look at how happy she is. Jun Shiling is a very capable person. ording to the news, Jun Shiling dotes on Miss very much.¡±

    The corners of Mr. Blue¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He looked extremely relieved. He blinked again and looked at Fang Jin seriously.

    Fang Jin paused for a moment. ¡°You want to change your will again?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1099: Billionaire</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Mr. Blue nodded slightly.

    Fang Jin guessed Mr. Blue¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Last time, you gave half of the Blue family¡¯s assets to Miss Xia. This time, are you going to give them all to her? Will the others have any objections?¡±

    The Blue family was one of the top industrial empires in America. Ignoring the fact that the American officials would not agree to let a Chinese person control the Blue family, the intense struggle in the Blue family would be turned upside down once the will was changed.

    To his surprise, Mr. Blue shook his head again and stared straight at Fang Jin.

    ¡°You want to revoke Miss Xia¡¯s inheritance qualifications?¡±

    Mr. Blue nodded gently.

    Fang Jin hesitated for a moment. ¡°You don¡¯t want her to be involved.¡±

    The Blue family was a mess. When he decided on the will, Xia Wanyuan was still a small celebrity in China and did not have any background or capital.

    In order to let her have an impressive backer, Mr. Blue changed his will and added her.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was so outstanding and had the Jun family and the Wei family as her backers, there was naturally no need to involve her in this dispute.

    ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll contact thewyers now.¡± Fang Jin bowed respectfully and walked out of the ward.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the depths of Continent F¡¯s dense forest, Yu Qian, who was dressed in a white coat, was standing in front of the experiment table and looking at the microorganisms under the microscope. The metal-rimmed mirror frame was shining with a cold light.

    ¡°Boss, there¡¯s news from America. Mr. Blue of the Blue family probably won¡¯t live long.¡± Jayce walked in and reported the news to Yu Qian respectfully.

    ¡°Will?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s actions did not change. He was still bending down to look at the microscope.

    Visit /Myb o x nove l./ to read, pls!

    ¡°He drew up a will once in the past, but there were changes this time. He removed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s inheritance from the will.¡± When Jayce spoke of Xia Wanyuan, confusion shed across his eyes.

    <i>This Xia Wanyuan was really strange. Not only did my boss care about her, but she also had such a deep rtionship with Mr. Blue.?</i>

    Hearing Jayce¡¯s words, Yu Qian finally straightened his back and thought for a moment. ¡°Get someone to change it. Not only can he not remove Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, but he also has to give the entire inheritance to Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Boss.¡± Jayce was puzzled, but he did not show it on his face.

    After Jayce left, Yu Qian sat on the chair and tapped his index finger gently on the back of the chair. ¡°I was just worried that the water in America was not muddy enough, but it actually came knocking on my door.¡±

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯ve given you such a big gift. You have to ept it properly.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan had rarelye to the studio. She was listening to Chen Yun exin the structure of the new script.

    ¡°Wanyuan, we¡¯ve already hired an international top screenwriter team to work overtime to write the script. I have to say, that child¡¯s imagination is really strange. It¡¯s much more interesting than the sci-fi movies on the market now.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, the production team of ¡®Leisurely Life¡¯ called to urge you again. They asked when you can start filming.¡± After Chen Yun finished speaking, Lu Li leaned over and urged her with the schedule.

    Xia Wanyuan took it and flipped through it. ¡°We can start recording the day after tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s permission, Lu Li immediately went to the side to contact the production team.

    ¡°Wanyuan, that youngdy gave a little too little material. Can you get her to give more? If there¡¯s too little, it¡¯s not enough to connect the huge world view.¡± Chen Yun urged Xia Wanyuan ording to the screenwriter team.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Wanyuan had not contacted Liu Ling for a while. She called Liu Ling.

    The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. The moment it was picked up, there was a scream that made Xia Wanyuan frown.

    ¡°Sister Xia, I¡¯m sorry, the television here is a little loud. Why are you looking for me?¡± Liu Ling¡¯s voice sounded a little flustered.

    ¡°I told youst time to give me some more manuscripts. Are you done writing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m done writing. I¡¯ll send it to you now.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s voice was a little anxious. ¡°Sister Xia, I have something on, so I¡¯ll hang up first. Take a look at your email.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Liu Ling had already hung up.

    A message popped up in her mailbox. Xia Wanyuan opened it. It was a manuscript from Liu Ling.

    Xia Wanyuan casually flipped through it and deleted the manuscript.

    ¡°Did she send it to you? Post it to me. I¡¯ll get the team below to do it.¡± Chen Yun walked over with a pile of scripts.

    Xia Wanyuan closed her phone. ¡°Do the one in your hand first.¡±

    She had just nced at the things Liu Ling had sent. The quality waspletely different from the first time she had seen it.

    This time, not only was the handwriting sloppy, but even the plot story seemed much more old-fashioned. It was obvious that Liu Ling was patronizing her.

    In the hotel suite.

    The television drama was very loud. Liu Ling¡¯s mothery on the sofa and ate melon seeds and snacks. Liu Ling¡¯s father smoked at the side. The smoke lingered in the room, making one¡¯s head dizzy.

    ¡°Liu Ling, why did that Xia Wanyuan call you? Is she going to give you money again?¡±

    ¡°No, she asked me for the script.¡± Liu Ling was wearing the clothes her mother had bought for her and reading at the table.

    ¡°Then ask her when she can give you big money. That video is one to two thousand every day. It¡¯s not enough.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother pursed her lips in disdain.

    The short video that Chen Yun had made with Liu Ling¡¯s idea was very popr. The traffic was not bad, and the daily click ie was given to Liu Ling on time.

    At first, when they saw the two thousand yuan a day, Liu Ling¡¯s family was overjoyed. This day was equivalent to their previous year¡¯s ie.

    However, after they became rich, they became more spendthrift. Soon, two thousand yuan a day could no longer satisfy them.

    ¡°Sister Xia said that after the movie is released, she will give me a dividend based on ten percent of the profits. I might not be able to get the money now.¡± Liu Ling did not understand these business matters. When Xia Wanyuan said this, she agreed.

    Usually, when people bought the copyright, they would buy it all at once. This way, when the work was released in the future, no matter how much money they earned, they would not have to share it with the author.

    However, Xia Wanyuan used the best way to treat the author. The more the movie earned, the more it would be distributed to the author. Furthermore, no one in the industry could offer such a high profit.

    It was no exaggeration to say that when the movie was released, Liu Ling would be a billionaire.

    If Liu Ling did not understand this, her family did not understand either.

    ¡°What?!?! She¡¯s not giving you money now? When will the movie be finished?¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother sat up and looked at Liu Ling angrily.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be at least a year after filming and screening.¡±

    ¡°A yearter?!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother raised her voice. ¡°I don¡¯t think that Xia Wanyuan wants to give you money at all. A yearter, she¡¯ll return 10% of the profits. What if she says that she¡¯ll only give you 50 yuan after earning 100 yuan?! Why are you so stupid, wretched girl? You have a pig¡¯s brain!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1100: Unable to Tolerate; Chase Out</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The more Liu Ling¡¯s mother spoke, the angrier she became. She poked Liu Ling¡¯s forehead. ¡°Are you a pig? She already took your script away and didn¡¯t give you money. What if she reneges on her debt?¡±

    Liu Ling covered her forehead, her heart wavering a little. However, when she thought of how Xia Wanyuan had not only sent her to the hotel but also given her money to use, she felt that Xia Wanyuan was not that kind of person. ¡°Mom, Xia Wanyuan is a very big celebrity. Her family is very rich too. She won¡¯t do such a thing.¡±

    ¡°You already said it. She¡¯s so rich, why didn¡¯t she even give you the remuneration?! She took your manuscript and only gave you two thousand yuan a day. Rich people are all heartless. The money they earned was plundered from us!¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s father also turned around and looked at Liu Ling. ¡°Your mother is right. No rich person is good. Didn¡¯t the person who lived upstairs in the past be rich by cheating others of their money? Have you forgotten that she cheated us of a thousand yuan and left?¡±

    Seeing her parents¡¯ concrete words, Liu Ling was a little swayed. ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Sister Xia if I can get my pay in advance?¡±

    ¡°No, just ask her directly how much she¡¯s willing to give you.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother winked at her.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Liu Ling called Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li were checking their schedules when Chen Yun answered the call.

    After hearing Liu Ling¡¯s question, Chen Yun said honestly, ¡°Your script only has imagination and not aplete plot. In addition, we¡¯re not sure what this movie can do. I can only say that we can buy your copyright for at most a million.¡±

    ording to Chen Yun¡¯s personality, one million was actually too much. After all, buying the copyright had to be profitable. Now that the movie had not been released, no one dared to confirm that the movie could sell well. They were willing to give one million in copyright fees because Liu Ling was brought by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Liu.¡± Liu Ling hung up and repeated the situation to his parents.

    ¡°One million?¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother had never seen so much money, but she suddenly thought of something. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Xia Wanyuan and her husband are very rich? How much money do they have?¡±

    Liu Ling searched the asset rankings on his phone and found Jun Shiling¡¯s assets.

    ......

    The family surrounded the phone and counted for a long time, but they could not count how many zeros there were.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother, who had thought that a million yuan was a huge sum of money, suddenly looked down on this mere million yuan.

    ¡°That Xia Wanyuan, any set of jewelry is worth twenty to thirty million, but she only gave you a million. You still say she¡¯s a good person? Are you a pig?¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother ced her hands on her hips and began to scold Liu Ling. After scolding Liu Ling, she began to scold Xia Wanyuan, this rich person, for being heartless. Liu Ling¡¯s father echoed.

    Liu Ling, who had thought that Xia Wanyuan was very good, felt a little resentful.

    In the past, she had no concept of money. Fifty yuan was a huge sum to her and could be used to buy many things.

    However, ever since she saw Xia Wanyuan, she realized that she could live sofortably. She had so many beautiful clothes and so many delicious things.

    As long as one had money, they could buy these.

    Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jewelry was worth tens of millions, and how she was only willing to fork out a million yuan for so many manuscripts, the scales in Liu Ling¡¯s heart gradually tilted. ¡°Mom, what do you think we should do?¡±

    ¡°Hang on to Xia Wanyuan first and tell her that you¡¯re writing properly. At least you can get two thousand yuan a day now.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother thought of her tricks when she was doing business at a small stall. ¡°Your father and I will go out and help you move around and see if anyone is willing to bid higher.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Liu Ling was used to being attacked by her parents. Now that her parents were willing to help her, Liu Ling habitually tried to please them.

    However, Liu Ling¡¯s parents had never seen the world before. How could they have any connections? If they wanted to find the person who bought the manuscript, they could only take Chen Yun¡¯s short video and run to the film studio to ask the director if he was willing to ept the manuscript.

    Soon, this matter spread throughout the entire film studio base and naturally reached Chen Yun¡¯s ears.

    In the manor, Chen Yun wasining to Xia Wanyuan about this.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I really don¡¯t want to say this, but that youngdy looks so obedient. Why is she so ungrateful? We were the ones who made that short video. If not for you, she would still be living on the streets. She actually secretly found a buyer outside. She¡¯s really too much.¡±

    Chen Yun paid more attention to Liu Ling¡¯s short videos and stayed up with the production team for a few nights. Furthermore, he did not take the advertising fee and gave it all to Liu Ling. Who would have thought that this person did not know what was good for him?

    After hearing Chen Yun¡¯sints about Liu Ling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, but she did not say anything.

    Just as Chen Yun hung up, the hotel called.

    ¡°Madam, I shouldn¡¯t have called, but I really want to exin the situation to you.¡± The hotel manager sounded very troubled.

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± The person-in-charge could not take it anymore. ¡°The youngdy you brought along, you instructed us to take good care of her. We did our best to take care of her, butter on, her entire family stayed in the hotel suite andpletely treated the hotel as their home. It¡¯s fine if she has good quality, but the key is, sigh, I¡¯ll send you a few photos.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, a few photos popped up on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it. The originally elegant hotel suite had a sofa that was wrinkled beyond recognition. The white woolen carpet had already turned yellow. There were all sorts of melon seeds shells, snack bags, and pools of red oil. The smooth wall had missing pieces here and there.

    The entire room hadpletely changed. It looked sloppy, and no one could imagine that this was the luxurious suite of the Beijing Hotel.

    ¡°Madam, it¡¯s not that we find it hard to clean or anything. We send two cleaners up every day to clean, but that youngdy¡¯s parents said that our staff will steal their things and don¡¯t allow us to go in. There¡¯s really no other way.¡± The person-in-charge sighed. If Xia Wanyuan had not brought such a person, they would have chased her out long ago.

    ¡°Follow the hotel¡¯s rules,¡± Xia Wanyuan said after hearing this.

    ¡°Yes!¡± The person-in-charge immediately perked up. With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, he had a n.

    In the hotel, Liu Ling and his family were eating hotpot on the carpet. No one cared about the red oil that sshed on the ground.

    ¡°It¡¯s fragrant, let¡¯s buy this again tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay, buy more meat. That man surnamed Chen transferred me four thousand yuan yesterday.¡±

    Just as they were eating happily, the door suddenly opened and seven to eight staff walked in. Without a word, they began to pack their things.

    ¡°Hey, what are you doing?! Get out!¡±

 Chapter 1101 - Chase the Evil Woman Away

    <h4>Chapter 1101: Chase the Evil Woman Away</h4>

    In the past, the staff was willing to tolerate this family because the leader had instructed them not to offend them and to take good care of them.

    Now, the leader had specially held a meeting and given orders to chase this family away.

    The staff members, who had suffered a lot of anger over the past few days, straightened his back. They were also very confident in doing things. ¡°You¡¯re staying in our hotel¡¯s total suite. The price list on the first floor is clearly marked. You have to pay 60,000 yuan for a night. Do you have the money to renew the room? If not, we have to remove you ording to the rules.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother ced her hands on her hips. ¡°Who are you lying to? Sixty thousand yuan a night. Why don¡¯t you rob money? Stop lying to me.¡±

    Seeing this, the staff ignored Liu Ling¡¯s mother and focused on cleaning up the trash on the ground.

    Liu Ling¡¯s father rolled up his sleeves and was about to pull the staff away when a group of bodyguards walked in.

    When the burly bodyguard stood at the door, Liu Ling¡¯s father immediately cowered.

    Seeing that she could not make a scene, Liu Ling¡¯s mother hurriedly pinched Liu Ling¡¯s arm. ¡°Wretched girl, didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan bring you here? Why can¡¯t you stay here now? Hurry up and contact Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Liu Ling nodded and took out her phone to call Xia Wanyuan.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was practicing calligraphy. When she heard the bell ring, she nced to the side and pressed the answer button.

    She was used to living with her mother these few days. Liu Ling¡¯s tone became a little aggressive. ¡°Sister Xia, why won¡¯t the hotel let me continue living?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not stop writing. ¡°I found you a hotel because I wanted you to have a shelter for the time being. Now that you have an ie every day, the hotel needs to operate normally. Do understand what the hotel is doing.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Liu Ling subconsciously asked. After saying that, she felt that her tone was too much. She suppressed her voice. ¡°Sister Xia, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean that. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s too rushed now. I can¡¯t find a suitable house yet. Can I stay for a while more?¡±

    ......

    ¡°How long more are you staying?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was already vaguely cold.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother gestured crazily at the side. Liu Ling hesitated. ¡°Can I stay for another half a year?¡±

    The person in charge of the hotel could not help but roll his eyes when he heard Liu Ling¡¯s words.

    <i>Half a year? Sixty thousand yuan a day? Was she trying to get close to ten million yuan for free? Why was this little girl so shameless?</i>

    When Xia Wanyuan heard Liu Ling¡¯s words, the pen in her hand paused for a moment before she rejected her directly. ¡°Contact the hotel staff. I still have something on.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Liu Ling looked at her mother helplessly. ¡°Mom, Xia Wanyuan asked us to tell the hotel staff ourselves.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother wanted to scold someone, but when she saw the bodyguards standing in a row, she immediately cowered.

    The person-in-charge looked at her and knew that this family bullied the weak and feared the strong.

    Under the death gazes of the bodyguards, Liu Ling and her family quickly moved out of the hotel suite.

    Before leaving, Liu Ling¡¯s mother even packed all the nkets and nkets in the room with the excuse that she had bought them herself.

    The room they left behind was in a mess. More than ten staff members tidied it up for a long time before barely recovering 50% of its original appearance.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± The person in charge sighed silently. <i>This room probably had to be renovated before it could be used. </i>

    Outside the hotel, Liu Ling and his family, who were carrying bags of luggage, looked at the cars outside and looked at each other.

    ¡°Dad, Mom, where are we going now?¡±

    ¡°Go and find a hotel to stay in first.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother calcted the money in their hands. ¡°Anyway, we still have tens of thousands of yuan. We can hold on for a few days.¡±

    However, after staying in the presidential suite for so long, how could they care about other hotels? Five-star hotels looked very simple in their eyes.

    However, time gradually passed and night was about to fall. In the end, the family reluctantly found a star-ss hotel to stay.

    ¡°Hurry up and write more manuscripts. After writing them, we¡¯ll sell them.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother pinched Liu Ling and looked disappointed. ¡°If you write more, we can go back and stay in that presidential suite. We don¡¯t have to let those dogs look down on us.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± If she had not seen those prosperous ces, Liu Ling might not have yearned for money so much. However, now that she had lived in the best room and eaten the best food, Liu Ling could no longer go back.

    She began to pay attention to the sci-fi movies with high box office sales on the market and wondered how they could make so much money. Then, she began to imitate the routine of these movies.

    During this process, she slowly threw away her previously untainted spiritual energy.

    In the manor, after Xia Wanyuan finished practicing her calligraphy, she nced at the manuscript Liu Ling had sent her and frowned.

    She leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s back. ¡°Should I not have saved her back then?¡±

    She still remembered how Liu Ling looked like when she first saw him. She was thin and small, but her eyes were very clean. She condensed all her thoughts in her manuscript and had her most real appearance in her fantasy.

    However, for the current Liu Ling, she could tell from the new manuscript that she had begun to deliberately imitate themercialization routine and began to write in a routine manner. The words were filled with a desire for money.

    Jun Shiling put down the document in his hand and turned to hug Xia Wanyuan. ¡°If she hadn¡¯t met you, she would only live another miserable life.¡±

    If she had not met Xia Wanyuan, Liu Ling¡¯s spiritual energy would not have been discovered. She might have frozen to death in the bridge or been beaten to death by her mother.

    Meeting Xia Wanyuan should have been Liu Ling¡¯s turning point. If she stayed true to her heart, Xia Wanyuan would definitely bring her a better life.

    However, all of this was destroyed because of her own greed.

    ¡°So, don¡¯t me yourself. You¡¯ve already given her a chance.¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed slightly and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°I want to eat cake.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°I want to eat hotpot.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°I want to eat ice cream.¡±

    ¡°No, you¡¯re not allowed to eat in such cold weather.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan, who was trying to bluff her way through, pursed her lips. ¡°Petty.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Alright, didn¡¯t you agree to that variety show? When will the recording begin?¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°The recording time is three days. Can you find time toe?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve already spoken. How can I not find time?¡± Jun Shiling still wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan, but she walked away and called Chen Yun.

    No matter what, she was the one who had brought Liu Ling out. She still decided to give Liu Ling onest chance. If she could not grab it, she would not give him face anymore.

    When Chen Yun received the news, he sighed. Everyone said that Xia Wanyuan was cold and aloof, but he felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart was really soft.

    He felt that Xia Wanyuan had already done enough. No boss could be as generous as her. In the end, Liu Ling¡¯s family waspletely greedy and even yed the me game. It was too much.

    In the hotel, Liu Ling was racking her brains to think of a way to sell it for more money when the phone suddenly rang.

    Liu Ling picked it up and saw that it was Chen Yun. He hurriedly pressed the answer button. ¡°Brother Chen, are you giving me money today?¡±

    ¡°¡­ Don¡¯t call me Brother Chen. I can¡¯t ept it.¡± Chen Yun¡¯s tone was very bad. ¡°Wanyuan asked me to ask you if you want to sign the contract ording to your previous contract and get 10% of the profits after the movie is released?¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother also leaned over and snatched the phone away. She shouted into the phone, ¡°You turtles, are you bullying my daughter for not knowing anything? You just want to lie to her to get the manuscript!¡± She wanted to continue scolding, but the sound of the phone being hung up came from the phone.

    ¡°What kind of person is this?¡± Chen Yun rolled his eyes. ¡°She deserves to be poor for the rest of her life.¡±

    ¡°I knew it. That Xia Wanyuan is not a good person at all.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother did not have a good time scolding Chen Yun and vented her anger on Liu Ling.

    At that moment, the phone rang again.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother thought it was Chen Yun and began to scold him.

    The person on the other end of the line was silent for a long time. After Liu Ling¡¯s mother finished scolding, he said, ¡°Auntie, you¡¯ve misunderstood. We¡¯re from the filmpany. We called you to ask if you¡¯re willing to sell the manuscript to us for fifty million. This is only a portion of the deposit. When the movie is released, there¡¯s another portion.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother immediately smiled like a flower. ¡°Okay, okay, of course.¡±

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi, the assistant walked in. ¡°Madam, I¡¯ve contacted her.¡±

    ......

    ¡°Mm, how is it?¡± Zou Man fiddled with the big diamond ring on her hand.

    ¡°The other party is very stupid. We offered 50 million, and she took it seriously,¡± the assistant said and could not help but mock himself. ¡°Who would spend 50 million to buy a script? She¡¯s really inexperienced.¡±

    ¡°Keep them. I have a use for them,¡± Zou Man said casually.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Damn Jun Shiling!¡± Just as the two of them were talking, Jiang Kui walked in angrily and threw the things in his hand on the table.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you so angry?¡± Zou Man walked over and massaged Jiang Kui¡¯s shoulders.

    ¡°The client I liked was snatched away by Jun Shiling again. Why?! I clearly offered a higher price.¡± Jiang Kui was furious.?<i>He had already offered a higher price, but the other party actually said that he trusted Jun Shiling more. Wasn¡¯t this a p to my face?</i>

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Zou Man leaned down and her red lips wandered around Jiang Kui¡¯s neck. ¡°We¡¯re filming tomorrow. If you¡¯re so angry, you won¡¯t look good.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Jiang Kui frowned and pushed Zou Man away. ¡°Don¡¯t hang around me. Go shopping.¡±

    ¡°You make it sound like I only know how to shop.¡±

    Jiang Kui nced at Zou Man. The look in his eyes was obvious.?<i>Other than shopping, what else do you know?</i>

    It was night and the entire city had fallen asleep. Outside the Beijing airport, a figure was slowly walking in.

    ¡°Young Master Zimu, the ne has been arranged. Please follow me.¡± A man in ck was waiting at the airport door. He called out to the young master, but his expression was filled with disdain.

    Wei Zimu ignored him and turned to look behind him.

    Behind him was night, and light shone from afar. Wei Zimu knew that that was the center of Beijing.

    There was Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Young Master Zimu,¡± the man in ck urged impatiently. ¡°Don¡¯t waste time. The boss will be angry.¡±

    Only then did Wei Zimu retract his gaze and turn around resolutely.

    It was as if he had made a permanent farewell to everything behind him. He was hopeless and sad.

    Soon, in the dark night, a ne cut through the night sky and headed towards Continent F.

    Looking at the shrinking light underground, Wei Zimu sighed and said softly to the void outside the window, ¡°Goodbye.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the hotel, Liu Ling and his family were calcting the remaining money in their hands. Their faces were filled with worry. ¡°There¡¯s only two thousand yuan left. What should we do?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother was especially calm and smug today. ¡°That person promised yesterday that he would definitely give us a surprise today.¡±

    The next second, a message appeared on the phone. It was from the traffic ie of the short video. It was a total of fifty thousand yuan.

    ¡°Why is there so many today?!¡± Liu Ling was very surprised.

    At this moment, the topic ¡°China¡¯s Science Fiction Light¡± was gradually rising on Weibo.

    After watching the short video with Liu Ling¡¯s creativity as the core, theizens were attracted by her novel imagination.

    [This is good. Itbines ancient Chinese mythology and future technology. There¡¯s a magical feeling. The creativity is not bad.]

    [When will our country¡¯s sci-fi movies reach this level? They¡¯ll definitely be able to hit the market.]

    [I just took a look at the staff introduction. This script was actually written by an eighteen-year-old girl. This is too amazing.]

    As the discussion became more and more popr, Liu Ling, an eighteen-year-old genius author, was also dug out.

    Her life experience easily aroused everyone¡¯s sympathy, and the work she wrote was indeed very moving.

    Such a contrast made Liu Ling famous in a short period of time. Many people began to call her ¡°China¡¯sst hope of science fiction.¡±

    They sat in the hotel and did nothing, but the money in their phones increased. Many media reporters came to meet them. Liu Ling and his family were so happy that they were about to go crazy. They could go back and stay in the presidential suite again.

    Just as they were feeling happy, the phone rang. It was still the assistant from yesterday.

    ¡°How is it? Did you earn money?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Just tell us what you need us to do.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother smiled brightly.

    ¡°In the future, do whatever I ask you to do. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you¡¯re obedient, you¡¯ll have a lot of money.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay!¡± Liu Ling and his family naturally agreed.

    Chen Yun told Xia Wanyuan about Liu Ling¡¯s poprity as gossip. Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°In that case, let her be.¡±

    Chen Yun knew that Xia Wanyuan hadpletely given up on Liu Ling.

    The next day was the day the fans were looking forward to so much, they were about to bore a hole in the television.

    On this day, ¡°Leisurely Life¡± began.

    The first guests, Jiang Kui, Zou Man, Jun Shiling, and Xia Wanyuan, made the audience look forward to it.

    There was another group of mysterious guests. The production team did not announce it officially, but it was also attracting the audience.

    After all, the other two groups were already so shocking, so how bad could the mysterious guest be?

    <h4>Chapter 1103: The Princess Crushes the White Lotus; Miserable Comparison</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The variety show was called ¡°Leisurely life¡±. In the past, the production team would design many variety games in advance to gather the guests to attract the audience.

    However, Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling, Jiang Kui, and Zou Man were too special.

    They had their own halo, and their real life was already what the audience was most interested in.

    Hence, this time, the director said that since it was ¡°Leisurely Life¡±, they might as well be leisurely until the end. In the past, it was always the guests who followed the director and photographer¡¯s scenes.

    This time, the director and photographer went wherever the guests went.

    In the live-stream, arge number ofizens were waiting for the guests to appear.

    The morning sun gradually rose. The photography team was divided into two groups and were already waiting in the manor and the Jiang family¡¯s mansion.

    It was already spring, and the green leaves were sprouting. Spring, which had been hidden by the winter, bloomed enthusiastically in the garden of the manor.

    The camera swept over.

    What they saw wererge patches of roses that were facing the sunlight and shaking off the dew on the petals.

    This scene could not help but remind the audience of the rose manor that had exploded on the Inte a year ago.

    At that time, a free traveler had unintentionally recorded a sea of roses. Everyone was amazed by such a beautiful scene.

    Now, everyone knew that the sea of flowers back then actually came from this manor.

    ......

    Now that a year had passed, the sea of flowers had bloomed again. Even the onlookers felt very emotional.

    [The sea of roses has bloomed for another year. For some reason, I feel a rush of time.]

    [This sea of flowers is really beautiful. CEO Jun is so attentive. I hope my boyfriend is one-tenth as romantic.]

    [The person in front, to do this, not only do you need to be meticulous, you also need to have money. Who can have Jun Shiling¡¯s wealth?]

    Someone was already talking in the main building. The photographer¡¯s camera moved back from the sea of flowers and headed into the main building.

    Just as he reached the door, he bumped into the little cute baby running out.

    Xiao Bao had just woken up and was wearing a cute furry suit. His face was red and his big eyes were round and bright. He was not afraid when he saw the photographer and raised his little hand to greet everyone. ¡°Hello ~¡±

    [ I see the little cutie again ~ Quick, let Auntie kiss you. Ahhh, I miss the little cutie too much. ]

    [ How obedient. Your eyes have blinked into Auntie¡¯s heart. ]

    ¡°Hello, Little Master. Where are your parents?¡± The photographer also felt that Xiao Bao was cute and subconsciously lowered his voice.

    Xiao Bao tugged at the strand of hair on his head. ¡°They must bezing in bed. Boo.¡±

    The photographers suppressed theirughter. At this moment, Uncle Wang walked out. ¡°This way, please. Madam and Young Master are upstairs.¡±

    Before filming this variety show, the director had discussed with the guests that they could film in depth. Hence, under Uncle Wang¡¯s guidance, the photographers came to the bedroom.

    When they opened the door, everyone was stunned by the luxurious renovation of the room. The camera slowly filmed from the door to the inside.

    Even though they had alreadymunicated in advance, the photographer still carefully lightened his footsteps, afraid that he would wake Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan up.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, the camera swept to the side of the bed. Jun Shiling was sitting and reading the newspaper. On the other side of the bed, Xia Wanyuan was still sleeping peacefully.

    Seeing the photographer enter, Jun Shiling nced at him and did not speak.

    The photographers¡¯ already light footsteps wished they could turn their shoes into vacuum. After all, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was really unbearable.

    Looking at thements that wanted to see Xia Wanyuan, the photographer finally decided to sacrifice himself for the show. He carefully moved his feet, and a close-up of Xia Wanyuan appeared in the camera.

    Last night, Xia Wanyuan had changed some scripts overnight, causing her to sleep veryte. Now, she was sleeping soundly.

    On her fair face, her curly and upturned eyshes were distinct. Her cold eyes had a hint of peacefulness, looking like a noble andzy cat.

    [My baby is so beautiful. I want to kiss Yuan Yuan¡¯s right face.]

    [The person in front, you¡¯re already on CEO Jun¡¯s assassination list. Don¡¯t be too arrogant.]

    After satisfying the audience¡¯s requirements, the photographer immediately retreated and stood quietly at the side as a backdrop.

    Jun Shiling did not say anything. He only gently flipped through the newspaper in his hand, as if waiting for Xia Wanyuan to wake up.

    On the other hand, in the Jiang family¡¯s vi.

    Zou Manxi liked luxurious things, so ever since she arrived at the Jiang family, she had sent someone to renovate the already gorgeous Jiang family¡¯s vi.

    The photographer carried the camera and walked in. Even someone who was used to seeing all sorts of celebrities and rich people could not help but sigh.<i>?This life of luxury was too luxurious!?</i>

    Just as he entered the living room, the butler weed him. ¡°Young Master and Madam are eating in the dining room. Pleasee this way.¡±

    In the dining room, Zou Man and Jiang Kui were sitting together. Jiang Kui was feeding Zou Man mouthful by mouthful, making people feel that the two of them had an extremely good rtionship.

    Zou Man saw the camera and turned her head shyly, not letting Jiang Kui feed her anymore. ¡°Hubby, someone is here to film.¡±

    Jiang Kui hated entertainment the most, so when he looked at the camera, he subconsciously felt a little arrogant. However, he still remembered that he had to perform better than Jun Shiling. He quickly restrained his expression and reached out to tuck Zou Man¡¯s hair behind her ear.

    ¡°Silly, just let them film it. You can¡¯t be hungry. Come, have another bite. Ah ~¡± Jiang Kui had seen Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s show. He knew that when Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan, the audience¡¯s reaction was especially big.

    Hence, he followed suit and fed Zou Man.

    However, he had never done this before, so he did not know that Zou Man did not like celery at all. Looking at the spoon full of celery by her mouth, Zou Man¡¯s expression froze a little. However, in the end, she still smiled and opened her mouth to swallow all the celery.

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious. Thank you, Hubby ~¡± Zou Man endured the disgust in her stomach and smiled coquettishly at Jiang Kui.

    ¡°Why are you being so polite to your husband?¡± Jiang Kui reached out and scratched Zou Man¡¯s nose. ¡°Your husband will be happy if you eat well.¡±

    The audience could not stand this dog food.

    [CEO Jiang is some peerless good man. He dotes on his wife too much. He even fed her. My boyfriend has never fed me.]

    [ Uh¡­ Perhaps I¡¯m old and can¡¯t stand to see them so clingy. I keep feeling that it¡¯s a little strange, but I can¡¯t tell what¡¯s strange. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pair makes me feelfortable. ]

    [ The person in front, stop pretending to be a passerby. If you like Xia Wanyuan, go there and say it. What are you talking about here? I think Jiang Kui and Zou Man are the real sweet ones. I heard that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are acting. In fact, they¡¯re each ying their own game. ]

 Chapter 1104 - CEO Jun Crushes

    <h4>Chapter 1104: CEO Jun Crushes</h4>

    Thements were noisy. The show switched to the manor¡¯s perspective.

    On the bed, Xia Wanyuan, who had been quiet, finally moved. Hearing themotion, Jun Shiling put the newspaper aside and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±

    Xia Wanyuany on the bed, her vision blocked by the nket. In addition, the photographer did not even dare to breathe loudly, so Xia Wanyuan did not know that there were other people in this room.

    She replied, ¡°Mm, we still have to film a program today. Did I oversleep?¡±

    She had rushed the manuscript untilte at nightst night, and Xia Wanyuan was still a little sleepy.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯ve worked hard. Sleep more.¡± Jun Shiling leaned down and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smooth face. The expression on his face could not be seen, but just his back made one feel extremely gentle and patient.

    [What hard work? CEO Jun, can you be more specific?]

    [CEO Jun, be a human. My daughter has to go on the show the next day, and you still tortured my daughter like this. I just want to say that you did well. Keep up the good work and try to have two in three years.]

    [I have a lot of traffic. What do you mean by hard work? CEO Jun, I¡¯m not afraid of death. I just want to ask, can you tell me?]

    Xia Wanyuan yawned and reached out a hand to Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m not sleeping anymore. I want to get up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan up. Only then did Xia Wanyuan see the group of people holding cameras standing in the bedroom. The gentleness in her eyes dissipated visibly.

    The audience: <i>Sorry to disturb you. As expected, only CEO Jun is qualified to see the soft and cute side. We¡¯re not worthy.</i>

    Jun Shiling lifted the nket. The photographers tactfully moved the camera away and turned around.

    ......

    Jun Shiling got up and took two steps. He took back his clothes and socks and was about to help Xia Wanyuan put them on when Xia Wanyuan stopped him. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±

    She could ept any nonsense at home because only Jun Shiling could see it.

    However, she was doing a live broadcast now. She did not want to appear so clingy in front of the audience.

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow. ¡°You can¡¯t fasten the ribbon on your boots.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Alright, Xia Wanyuanpromised. She could undo anyplicated buttons, but the ribbons wrapped around the modern boots were tooplicated. Jun Shiling usually helped her, so she could not be bothered.

    The screen in the live-stream temporarily darkened, so their hearing was especially sensitive. The audience vaguely heard Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s conversation. The originally sour dog life was added to the pot of dog food.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked out of the bedroom. Jun Shiling habitually wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, but he was stopped by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    Jun Shiling could only retract his hand with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. CEO Jun is so miserable. What did he do to be despised by Xia Wanyuan?]

    [I already said that the two of them are just acting as a couple, right? They¡¯re just taking what they need. Seeing how Xia Wanyuan despises Jun Shiling, I can tell that their rtionship is not good.]

    [I think so too. What¡¯s wrong with hugging? They¡¯re not strangers. They¡¯re just a model couple. What a joke. Go and see Zou Man and Jiang Kui. They¡¯re the real loving couple.]

    After breakfast at the Jiang family, Zou Man and Jiang Kui went to thepany.

    Zou Man chatted with the photographer calmly. ¡°Sigh, I wanted to draw a few more manuscripts at home. Camellia¡¯s director has urged me many times, but my husband insisted that Ie to work. Look at how annoying he is.¡±

    The photographers hurriedly echoed, ¡°I¡¯m afraid CEO Jiang likes you too much and can¡¯t bear to be separated from you for a second. That¡¯s why he brought you along.¡±

    Zou Man smiled shyly. ¡°You always speak up for him. He doesn¡¯t think so much. I think he justcks someone to serve him tea, that¡¯s why he pulled me over. Hmph ~¡±

    Jiang Kui walked over and nted a kiss on Zou Man¡¯s forehead. ¡°What are you saying about me, baby?¡±

    Zou Man punched Jiang Kui¡¯s chest with her fist. ¡°I said that you needed someone to serve you tea, so you brought me here. You¡¯re so annoying.¡±

    Jiang Kui grabbed Zou Man¡¯s fist and kissed it. ¡°Silly, what nonsense are you talking about? How would I dare to let you serve tea and pour water? I brought you here because I can see you when I want to go to work.¡±

    The two of them spoke affectionately, but a middle-aged female photographer pursed her lips silently.

    She had also seen storms before and was not as gullible as the underage girls in the live-stream. Jiang Kui casually said a few nice words, and the fans felt that he was a person who especially doted on his wife and had a good rtionship with Zou Man.

    At her age, what she looked down on the most was people who spoke nonsense but were illusory in their actions.

    There were no cameras on the way to thepany just now. Zou Man was wearing ten-centimeter high heels and was pregnant. Jiang Kui walked in front alone and ignored Zou Man.

    Now that there were cameras, the two of them were so sweet that they could not melt at all. Jiang Kui even called her his precious baby. He even wanted to bring Zou Man along to the meeting. It was as if he was going to die if he did not see Zou Man for a second.

    She could not stand it anymore. In the live-stream, some people began to feel that this scene was a little awkward.

    [ I¡¯ll secretly say this. If CEO Jun were to say this ssic line of a domineering CEO, I would feel very pleased. But why does it sound a little strangeing from Jiang Kui? ]

    [It¡¯s probably because of his face... After all, Jun Shiling is more than a hundred times more handsome than Jiang Kui...]

    [Let me say something anonymously and run after saying that. Don¡¯t you think Jiang Kui is a little oily?]

    When this anonymousment came out, everyone was enlightened. They finally knew where the sense of disharmony came from.

    It was oil.

    Although Jiang Kui spoke very gently and sweetly to Zou Man, it was too exaggerated. He always wanted to show that he doted on Zou Man very much, but the more he wanted to show it, the more oily he looked.

    At the same time, in the manor, Jun Shiling was eating with Xia Wanyuan.

    He was wearing an exquisite suit. His eyebrows were as ck as ink and he was a gentleman. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing a wrist with a watch.

    Jun Shiling peeled the egg in his hand without a word. Then, as if he had done it hundreds of times, he skillfully ced the egg in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.

    Xia Wanyuan took a bite of the egg. Beside her was the milk Jun Shiling handed her.

    Jun Shiling sat quietly without saying a word, looking cold and arrogant.

    However, everyone inexplicably felt that

    their eyes, which had been smeared with oil just now, were finally washed clean by a stream of spring water.

    [CEO Jun is still the best-looking. This face, this figure, and this hand are amazing.]

    [A group of superficial dogs. You like Jun Shiling just because he¡¯s good-looking. Anyway, I like Jiang Kui more. I think he treats Zou Man especially well.]

    [Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan feel like an old couple. Zou Man and Jiang Kui should be passionate newlyweds, right?]

    Just as the audience was discussing, a soft little dumpling suddenly appeared in the camera.

    ¡°Mommy, try this. It¡¯s super delicious.¡± Xiao Bao ran over and handed a small bun to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and bit it. Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes curved up. ¡°Mommy, I specially saved this for you! Daddy doesn¡¯t have it.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused in his chewing and nced at Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao took a step back and leaned against Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, Daddy is fierce to me.¡±

    After a long battle of wits and courage with Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao had learned what it meant to strike first.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°He¡¯s not fierce to you.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s about to scold me.¡± Facing Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao had a unique surveince radar.

    ¡°Come here,¡± Jun Shiling said to Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao nced at Xia Wanyuan and then at Jun Shiling, then carefully leaned towards Jun Shiling.

    Just as he walked to Jun Shiling¡¯s side, his cor was grabbed. Before Xiao Bao could call Xia Wanyuan for help, he was already pulled onto Jun Shiling¡¯sp.

    ¡°Eat properly and stop fooling around.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the porridge in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bowl.?<i>It would not taste good if it was any colder.</i>

    ......

    Xiao Bao thought that Jun Shiling would scold him, but he did not expect him to hug him on hisp and eat. Xiao Bao twisted his butt.?<i>Daddy¡¯s leg was much morefortable than the chair.?</i>

    Xiao Bao turned around and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. His eyes were shining with admiration and dependence. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the best. Actually, I hid a bun for you to eat.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao dragged his bowl over, pulled out another crab roe bun from the pile, and ced it in Jun Shiling¡¯s bowl.

    He had originally saved this for himself, but on ount of how well Daddy treated him, he gave it to Daddy.

    Jun Shiling looked at the bun in his bowl that had been dyed with various colors by other food. There was a rare hint of disdain in his eyes, but in the end, he still ate the bun.

    Xiao Bao chuckled and sat on Jun Shiling¡¯sp to eat his breakfast obediently.

    [ There¡¯s nothing wrong with being a fairy child. He¡¯s obedient and cute. I really want to kiss his little face. ]

    [The person in front, take back your dangerous thoughts. If you want to kiss the little cutie, I¡¯m afraid you have to go through CEO Jun first.]

    [Let¡¯s form a team to steal the child. You¡¯re in charge of stealing, and I¡¯m in charge of raising them. Is there anyone with us?]

    The manor was quiet, but it seemed extremely harmonious.

    The meeting room of the Jiang familypany was equally quiet, but it was strangely quiet.

    The people who came for the meeting stood on both sides as usual, waiting for Jiang Kui to preside over the work. However, what came was Jiang Kui and Zou Man.

    ¡°Let the meeting begin.¡± Jiang Kui sat at the front and got someone to add a chair for Zou Man. ¡°My wife is pregnant and I¡¯m worried about her being alone. Everyone doesn¡¯t mind, right?¡±

    How would the employees dare to say that they minded? They only felt embarrassed for Jiang Kui in their hearts.

    <i>So what if she¡¯s pregnant? It¡¯s not like she¡¯s paralyzed. If you really can¡¯t, just hold a meeting at home. Why did you bring her all the way to thepany for a meeting?</i>

    However, the employees only dared toin in their hearts. On the surface, everyone looked at Zou Man enviously.

    Zou Man sat beside Jiang Kui and looked at the staff at the meeting table with a smug expression.

    She was married to Jiang Kui, but it did not mean that her identity was recognized.

    Not only was she participating in the variety show topete with Xia Wanyuan, but she also wanted to use this opportunity to let Jiang Kui bring her around to dere her status as the mistress.

    Hence, in the meeting room, every time the discussion reached a climax, Zou Man would always be thirsty, hungry, and have a headache. Jiang Kui had no choice but to stop what he was doing and coax Zou Man before continuing.

    While Jiang Kui was talking to Zou Man, the people in the meeting room secretly exchanged nces and looked at Zou Man with disdain.

    <i>She was really too insensible. What did she treat the meeting room as? CEO Jiang was the same. He really could not distinguish the big picture and the importance.?</i>

    When Jiang Kui turned around, everyone looked serious again and even ttered him. ¡°CEO Jiang, you¡¯re so good to Madam.¡±

    Hearing the employees say ¡°Madam¡±, Zou Man raised her chin smugly.

    All the employees present were old foxes who had worked in the workce. When they saw Zou Man¡¯s smugness, they did not show it on their faces, but they looked down on such petty behavior.

    Tsk tsk, they really did not know how CEO Jiang had chosen his wife. Everyone said that marrying a wife and a virtuous person could prosper the entire family. Looking at this young madam, they suddenly began to worry about the future of the Jiang familypany.

    After breakfast, the production team sent a small request.

    Since Xia Wanyuan and Zou Man were both internationally famous designers in the two groups of guests, everyone wanted to see their designs intersect in the show.

    Hence, the production team gave the two of them a question, wanting them to design a set of clothes for their husbands.

    Regarding this, Xia Wanyuan happily agreed.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was designing while Jun Shiling helped her. The two of them did not speak a word, but they had a tacit understanding.

    On the other hand, Zou Man was also drawing clothes. Jiang Kui sat beside her and hugged her waist. From time to time, he would lean over and kiss her on the cheek. The two of them were intimate and looked very close.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished drawing the script, she brought Jun Shiling to the cloakroom. Arge amount of fabric had been prepared. Xia Wanyuan took a piece of cloth and cut it with a pair of scissors.

    There was only the sound of fabric tearing in the room. Not far away, Jun Shiling sat quietly and looked at the documents on theputer. asionally, he would look up at Xia Wanyuan.

    For the entire afternoon, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling stayed in the cloakroom.

    From cutting the fabric to sewing and embroidery, Xia Wanyuan meticulously polished every segment. Time seemed to have stopped with her actions.

    [Who would have thought that I would watch Xia Wanyuan make clothes for the entire afternoon? Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t say a word. I was even enjoying it.]

    [Count me in. I really like watching this handicraft process. Itpletely cured my OCD. Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t even need to measure CEO Jun¡¯s size and can do it directly. I¡¯m envious.]

    [I really like this kind of long-termpany. Looking at the exaggerated interaction next door, I¡¯m going to die of embarrassment. I thought it was very sweet, but isn¡¯t it fake to act too much?]

    <h4>Chapter 1106: Face pping Hypocritical Zou Man; Young Master Jun and Princess Divorce</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The audience was originally watching Zou Man and Jiang Kui¡¯s video with relish. They felt that it was sweet and enviable.

    Perhaps it was because there were manyments such as ¡°immortal love¡±, ¡°ideal husband¡±, and ¡°so envious that I cried¡±, that gave Jiang Kui confidence. He became more and more ¡°good¡± to Zou Man.

    He wished he could chew the food first before feeding it to Zou Man, calling her a baby.

    No matter how much theizens liked to watch others show off their love, they could not stand such a sweet impact.

    [Can we not do this¡­ It¡¯s hard to imagine such a couple in our daily lives¡­ That¡¯s a little too much.]

    [ Can¡¯t our Manman and CEO Jiang have a good rtionship? A bunch of sour grapes. I think you just can¡¯t meet a good man yourself. You still think Manman can¡¯t meet either. ]

    [Let me say something. With my countless experience in reading people, although Jiang Kui calls Zou Man baby, his eyes won¡¯t lie. I can¡¯t tell that Jiang Kui likes Zou Man.]

    Zou Man only drew a design and did not participate in the production process because she was pregnant and felt unwell. By the time the Jiang family¡¯s professional clothing team finished making the clothes and brought them to the vi, it was already past ten in the evening.

    Zou Man¡¯s design style was gorgeous and elegant. The clothes she designed for Jiang Kui were also luxurious. The style and style were extremely good. The moment Jiang Kui saw the clothes, his eyes lit up. This time, he praised Zou Man sincerely. ¡°Baby, this clothes is so beautiful. I like it very much.¡±

    Zou Man smiled shyly at Jiang Kui. ¡°I already said not to call me that when there are cameras. If it looks good, try it? I want to see you in this. You must be especially handsome.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Kui nodded and took out his suit from the box.

    Then, something awkward happened.

    This dress was indeed beautiful, but it seemed a little small on Jiang Kui. Although it was harmless, it looked a little awkward.

    ......

    If it were anyone else, this small w would not affect everyone¡¯s impression of clothes, but this was designed by Zou Man.

    <i>As the closest person to Jiang Kui, how could she not know Jiang Kui¡¯s figure and size?</i>

    [This¡­ This is awkward. The most outstanding designer actually doesn¡¯t even know her husband¡¯s figure and size?]

    [So, did something happen? I knew it was a little strange to watch the two of them show off their love. It feels very fake, unlike Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.]

    [Tsk, you¡¯re still bragging about being the most amazing designer. You don¡¯t even know your husband¡¯s figure. I¡¯m speechless.]

    Zou Man¡¯s studio reacted quickly. Sensing the public opinion online, they stood up and exined.

    @ Zou Man Studio: ¡°Please forgive our confused pregnant woman. Her pregnancy reactions have been more serious recently. Please forgive us.¡±

    However, not long after this post was posted, a famous gossip expert in the entertainment industry stood up.

    @ Gossip expert: ¡°I advise Zou Man¡¯s team not to clear her name anymore. After all, Zou Man is pregnant. It¡¯s enough for you to use a child as a shield. I can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡±

    Today, I¡¯ll show you what so-called love is.

    Let¡¯s talk about breakfast first. All Zou Man¡¯s fans should know that Zou Man hated celery. You can ask Zou Man¡¯s fans yourself. As for Jiang Kui, he said that he loved Zou Man while giving her celery. Amazing.

    Also, did you notice the way the two of them walked? Zou Man walked slowly because she was pregnant. If you intercept a photo of Jiang Kui waiting for Zou Man, I¡¯ll take your surname.

    There was also this problem with size. Zou Man was a designer, so she should be quite sensitive to this. The size of the clothes she designed should also be based on Jiang Kui¡¯s, but why couldn¡¯t Jiang Kui wear it now? There was only one answer, and that was that Jiang Kui had gained weight recently, but Zou Man did not notice it. Wasn¡¯t their rtionship very good?

    Also¡­¡±

    This gossip expert had arge number of fans because she was the most urate at eating melons every time. Furthermore, she never ndered people for no reason. Instead, she had reason and evidence.

    This time, she also attached arge number of photos and videos. From all aspects, they were irrefutable.

    [I knew it. I kept feeling that Zou Man and Jiang Kui were strange. From the looks of it, my intuition was too urate. Love can¡¯t be faked. I guess the two of them didn¡¯t expect to be exposed on the first day of the variety show.]

    [As expected, there¡¯s no time to miss out on gossip. Sister, do you want to dig up Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship again? Didn¡¯t they say that they were pretending to be a loving couple?]

    The gossip expert, who had never replied toments, replied to thisment this time. ¡°I don¡¯t want to dig up Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. My eyes are almost blinded by their sweetness. I can only say that if you want to see love at its most beautiful, go and see Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.¡±

    Thisment was reposted by arge number ofizens.

    On one hand, Zou Man and Jiang Kui were mocked by the crowd, and on the other hand, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were reputed to be the most beautiful in love.

    Jiang Kui, who had been paying close attention to the online public opinion, was so angry that he smashed his phone screen. Seeing Zou Man walk over, there were no cameras in the bedroom. Jiang Kui revealed his true colors and looked ruthless. ¡°You messed things up again. You¡¯re so stupid that you can¡¯t design a single piece of clothing!¡±

    Zou Man nced at the online public opinion and her expression was a little ugly. However, she quickly calmed herself down. ¡°What¡¯s the use of scolding me now? You make it sound like you did very well.¡±

    Seeing the details of Jun Shiling and Jiang Kui that theizens had intercepted, a mocking expression appeared on Zou Man¡¯s face. ¡°If you don¡¯t have feelings, you don¡¯t have feelings. No matter how you act, others will still see through you. Who can you me? You should me yourself.¡±

    Back then, when she first got together with Jiang Kui, she was also very devoted to him. Who would have thought that the two sweet people would end up in such a state?

    They needed to rely on acting to maintain the illusion of love, and they could not even act properly. Howughable.

    ¡°Alright, stop talking.¡± Jiang Kui stood up impatiently. ¡°I¡¯ll settle this matter.¡±

    ¡°How will you resolve it?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to care.¡± Jiang Kui left after saying this.

    The next morning, everyone had just woken up from their sleep and habitually wanted to scroll through Weibo. However, they realized that Weibo had copsed again.

    Everyone was curious.?<i>Which top celebrity had announced their rtionship again? Such power had directly copsed Weibo.?</i>

    However, when everyone refreshed and took a look, they were stunned.

    It was not a matter of who announced their rtionship with whom.

    The trending topic was ¡°Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s divorce agreement¡±.

 Chapter 1107 - Brotherhood Relationship???

    <h4>Chapter 1107: Brotherhood Rtionship???</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Seeing the word divorce agreement, everyone subconsciously cursed in their hearts.<i>?Could it be that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were going to divorce?!!! No way? What happened to the most beautiful love??</i>

    When they finally clicked on the topic, the most beautiful love in everyone¡¯s hearts shattered.

    @ Gossip Goose: ¡°It¡¯s definitely true. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had a marriage agreement. Back then, Xia Wanyuan drugged Jun Shiling and sessfully got pregnant. Under the pressure of the family, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan agreed to marry.

    The two of them had drawn up a divorce agreementst year. Look at the divorce conditions Jun Shiling had given Xia Wanyuan. 100 million in cash and five properties and several shops in Beijing. The conditions could be said to be quite good.

    The agreement took effectst summer, so the two of them were already divorced. From the official announcement of the new year to the current variety show, the two of them werepletely acting. It was really amazing.

    The original picture of the following document is definitely real. If it¡¯s fake, I¡¯m willing to take legal responsibility.]

    Below this Weibo post was a scan of the divorce agreement.

    It was clearly written that if Xia Wanyuan agreed to the divorce, she would be able to get a lot of assets.

    [! No!!! If the two of them are acting, I really don¡¯t believe in love. To think that I was still talking about Zou Man and Jiang Kui pretending yesterday. After all this time, both pairs are acting. It¡¯s just that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are better. ]

    [As expected of a woman who was nominated for the Golden Film Award. There¡¯s no trace of fakeness when she acts. So they¡¯ve always been divorced and are just pretending to love each other to lie to us? What are they after?]

    [Make a bold guess. Jun Shiling doesn¡¯tck money anymore, so he asked Xia Wanyuan to act as his wife. Could it be because Jun Shiling is the same? Then, there¡¯s a lover who can¡¯t be exposed and needs to find a woman to shut the world up.]

    Theizens discussed enthusiastically. In the end, things slid in a strange direction.

    Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling¡¯s real lover¡¯s shield.

    ......

    Among them, the news that Bo Xiao was Jun Shiling¡¯s true lover quickly spread.

    Arge number of novels,ics, and essays began to appear. An Rao saw many of them when she surfed online and even took screenshots to send to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan picked a few and read them out to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling¡¯s face immediately darkened. ¡°They¡¯re fooling around, but so are you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°Who asked you to sign the divorce agreement with me back then?¡±

    Jun Shiling stepped forward and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°It wasn¡¯t you back then.¡±

    ¡°You reap what you sow.¡± Xia Wanyuan was gloating.

    ¡°Okay, I reap what I sow.¡± Jun Shiling did not dare to say anything to Xia Wanyuan and could only swallow the bitter fruit silently.

    ¡°Who released the news?¡± Xia Wanyuan had mocked enough and began to talk seriously.

    ¡°Jiang Kui.¡± Speaking of this, a dark glint shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. His legal team was not so easy to break through. With Jiang Kui¡¯s ability, he could not do this. There should be others standing behind Jiang Kui.

    ¡°Then are we still recording our show?¡± Xia Wanyuan snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. No matter how little Jun Shiling wore, his body was warm. Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. ¡°CEO Jun, you smell so good.¡±

    Jun Shiling was originally thinking seriously about the problem. Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, he suddenly lowered his head. ¡°What fragrance?¡±

    ¡°Clothes.¡± The faint soap smell on the clothes was mixed with the smell of sunlight. It was clean and refreshing, a smell that Xia Wanyuan liked to smell.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes surged as he pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. He lowered his head and touched the tip of her nose. ¡°Not as fragrant as you.¡±

    As Jun Shiling spoke, the tip of his nose rubbed against Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face until it reached her neck. He buried himself in it and kissed the tip of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Xia Wanyuan immediately smiled and shrank back. ¡°Don¡¯t move. It¡¯s so itchy.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused and whispered a few words into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears and cheeks instantly flushed red. Her eyes widened slightly, feeling embarrassed and angry. ¡°Hooligan.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled and replied softly, ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but Jun Shiling had already picked her up by the waist. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t flirt with me next time.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re twisting words!¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened.?<i>When did I flirt with Jun Shiling again?!?</i>

    However, it was useless. Jun Shiling was even more domineering at this moment, not allowing Xia Wanyuan to question him at all.

    The outside world was filled with public opinion, and in the bedroom, the sea of love was surging.

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been busy, so Jun Shiling had not tortured her much. Now that he had the chance, he wished he could eat Xia Wanyuan up.

    In the silent night, there were only some small sounds in the bedroom. It was only when it was almost midnight that the sounds slowly stopped.

    In the apartment, An Rao flipped through thements online. The more she read, the more amused she became. She even wanted to read them out in front of Bo Xiao.

    ¡°He¡¯s a giant in the business world. He¡¯s a carefree officer. His meeting with him is destined. Hahahaha.¡±

    Opposite An Rao, Bo Xiao rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

    Seeing that An Rao was getting more and more enthusiastic, Bo Xiao pulled the phone out of her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t read it in front of me. If you have the ability, take this and read it in front of Jun Shiling.¡±

    An Rao said righteously, ¡°I don¡¯t have the ability. Other than Yuan Yuan, who would dare to pluck the hair of a tiger?¡±

    ¡°Then why do you dare to pluck hair off my head?¡± Bo Xiao knocked An Rao¡¯s forehead. He was also called an iron-blooded instructor in the military, but when it came to An Rao, he had no principles at all.

    ¡°Because you dote on me.¡± An Rao blinked at Bo Xiao smugly. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent the link and screenshot to Yuan Yuan. CEO Jun must have seen it now. Guess how CEO Jun reacted?¡±

    Bo Xiao sat over and touched An Rao¡¯s stomach. ¡°The person who spread the news should die very miserably.¡±

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi.

    Looking at the public opinion online, Jiang Kui crossed his legs smugly. ¡°What loving couple? What model couple? Aren¡¯t they all acting? If not for your bad acting, would we have been suppressed by Jun Shiling and the other two?¡±

    Zou Man held a cigarette in her mouth and smoked slowly. She spat out a circle of tears and looked a little disappointed. ¡°Pfft, acting skills?¡±

    Zou Man knew very well that the reason why she was so jealous of Xia Wanyuan and wanted topete with her was because she saw that Xia Wanyuan could have everything.

    Especially since not only did she notck anything material-wise, but even the man beside her doted on her.

    She was a woman, unlike Jiang Kui. When she saw a divorce agreement, she felt that it had nothing to do with Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    What she was most jealous of was the light and cherish in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes when he looked at her.

    No woman could resist such precious love.

    And she did not have it, so she hated Xia Wanyuan.<i>?Why could Xia Wanyuan have everything while I had nothing??</i>

    As a core figure of the Jun Corporation, any actions of Jun Shiling would greatly affect the shares of the Jun Corporation.

    Due to the divorce agreement, the next morning, just as the stock market opened, the shares of the Jun Corporation fell and their market value kept evaporating.

    In the manor, the production team stood silently outside the bedroom, wondering if they should go in.

    ¡°Do you think this episode is poisonous?? There are only two teams of guests in total, and there¡¯s a problem. Should we continue filming?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s film it.¡± The director finally decided. ¡°No matter what, we¡¯ve already decided on the filming n. We can¡¯t stop halfway. Furthermore, there¡¯s no final conclusion to the matter.¡±

    They had been filming closely with Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling for the past few days. The audience had eaten dog food through the screen, and they had been attacked by love every minute and second.

    Everyone was an adult who had experienced the ups and downs. They would not look at people crookedly. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling did not look like they were acting.

    In the live-stream, the production team thought that after the copse of the guest¡¯s reputation yesterday, the viewership ratings would definitely plummet today.

    Unexpectedly, after yesterday¡¯s incident, not only did the viewership ratings not decrease, but it also rose to an extremely high level.

    The audience basically liked to watch themotion and gossip. Now that the two pairs of guests had copsed, everyone was even more excited.?<i>What was happier than watching others fail?</i>

    [I¡¯ve been waiting for so long. The production team, hurry up and broadcast!]

    [I heard that the guests of this episode failed? Hahahaha, to be honest, I wasn¡¯t interested when it didn¡¯t fail. Now that it has failed, I feel like watching it, hahaha.]

    When the director saw the gratifying viewership ratings, he hurriedly instructed the production team to start filming ording to the original n.

    ......

    At the manor, the production team carried the camera into the bedroom. Jun Shiling woke up early as usual. Xia Wanyuan was buried under the nket and sleeping soundly.

    ording to the time Xia Wanyuan woke up yesterday, the production team estimated that she would wake up in about ten minutes.

    However, after ten minutes, Xia Wanyuan was still sleeping.

    The production team was helpless and could only squat at the side and wait for Xia Wanyuan to wake up before recording.

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi, Jiang Kui and Zou Man were as loving as ever.

    Although theizens had pointed out many things yesterday, Jiang Kui and Zou Man had never thought of admitting it. They could only bite the bullet and continue acting.

    Hence, Jiang Kui brought a cake for Zou Man, who never ate sweet things. ¡°Baby, do you want to eat it?¡±

    He brought a ss of wine for the pregnant Zou Man. ¡°Baby, I¡¯ll drink with you.¡±

    He even specially called Zou Man by her nickname for intimacy. However, helplessly, he called her by the wrong name.

    [ Hahahahaha, it¡¯s too awkward. My awkward toes have already dug out three bedrooms and a living room on the ground. ]

    [Hahahahahaha, I think it¡¯s much better than before! I like to watch such awkward performances. I can¡¯t take it anymore. Why are the two of them so funny? He keeps calling her baby. Don¡¯t they feel awkward?]

    [ F*ck, as Zou Man¡¯s fan, I really can¡¯t stand it anymore. Zou Man hates sweet things and celery the most. Furthermore, her nickname is Qiao Qiao, not Tiantian!!! I don¡¯t know if I should say MMP. I¡¯m so angry. ]

    On the manor¡¯s side, when it was almost noon, there was finally movement on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    The fans who had been waiting the entire morning and were almost sleepy were filled with tears.

    They had actually watched the ck screen in the live-stream for the entire morning just to wait for Xia Wanyuan to wake up!

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was inexplicably hoarse, making her already pleasant voice a little hoarse and sexy.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here.¡± Jun Shiling, who had been checking the proposal, immediately walked to the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out an arm and Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms. ¡°Do you want to drink water?¡±

    As Jun Shiling spoke, he took a ss of water from the side and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan drank it in a few mouthfuls and leanedzily on Jun Shiling¡¯s chest. ¡°Get up and put on my clothes.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Without needing Jun Shiling to say anything, the staff carried the camera and retreated out of the bedroom.

    At this moment, the live-stream was already filled with enthusiasticments from the fans.

    [Is this way of interacting really for divorced couples? Whose divorce is like this? F*ck, even my husband and I are not so sweet when we¡¯re newlyweds.]

    [ Only I noticed¡­ those strawberry marks on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s outstretched arm¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m the little horny flower of the mothend. I reflect. ]

    [ The person in front, I noticed it too. If this is an act, then this act is too real. Secretly, CEO Jun has tortured Yuan Yuan a little too much. It¡¯s already sote before she woke up. It can be seen that the battlest night was intense. ]

    The audience discussed enthusiastically. Fifteen minutester, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan came out of the bedroom.

    Xia Wanyuan lookedzy as she leaned against Jun Shiling.

    When the two of them were sunbathing in the courtyard after lunch, the staff received the director¡¯s instructions and went up to ask Jun Shiling¡¯s opinion on the trending topic yesterday.

    The staff thought that Jun Shiling would fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, Jun Shiling only said calmly, ¡°It was just for fun. Half of the Jun Corporation¡¯s assets are under Madam¡¯s name. In addition to the Wei family and the Xia family, Madam is much richer than me. Why would she need me to give her a divorcepensation?¡±

    After Jun Shiling finished speaking, not only was the staff stunned, but even Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise, her eyes clearly puzzled. ¡°What half?¡±

    ¡°Half of my assets have been transferred to you,¡± Jun Shiling said calmly, as if this was as normal as eating and drinking. He smiled and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°So, you¡¯re much richer than me now. In the future, you can¡¯t despise me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was momentarily speechless.

    Although Jun Shiling had not exactly said it, she knew how shocking Jun Shiling¡¯s assets were.?<i>Furthermore, moving assets was simple to talk about. However, how could transferring for such a huge corporation be done in a day?</i>

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    With her rtionship with Jun Shiling, there was no fundamental difference between Jun Shiling¡¯s and hers. Anyway, the money under her name was enough.

    On the other hand, it was unknown how much psychological and material resources Jun Shiling had to spend to transfer his assets. Furthermore, he would definitely face resistance from all walks of life.

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, his eyes affectionate. ¡°I know. I just want everyone to see that you¡¯re not someone I can dismiss with a divorce agreement and a hundred million yuan. As long as you want, the entire Jun Corporation is yours.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan seriously with a smile on his face and said, ¡°As long as you want it, the entire Jun family is yours.¡± The sunlight shone over and ted a faint circle of light on his face.

    From Xia Wanyuan to the modern world, she had actually been touched many times. But this time, she was still touched by Jun Shiling.

    This man knew everything. Then, he would quietly do everything well and clear all the obstacles and troubles for her, blocking the wind and rain above her head.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned red as she leaned towards Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms as if he had done it thousands of times. ¡°Now you¡¯re a rich woman.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Mm, so you can¡¯t be fierce to me in the future. If you are fierce to me, I¡¯ll escape with the money.¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his arms and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°How would I dare to be fierce to you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and looked up to smile at him. Her eyes, which were usually filled with coldness, were filled with fine sunlight, warm and moving.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s smile, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes surged. He unbuttoned his jacket and covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head with his suit, then lifted his suit and barged in.

    The production team thoughtfully posted a shy expression in the live-streamter on. The camera team quietly turned around.

    [Ahhh, I¡¯m a member. Is there anything that a noble member like me can¡¯t see?!!! Pull open the coat!!! Annoying!]

    [If this is called acting, then I really don¡¯t know what love is. Today is also a day to cry crazily for someone else¡¯s love. Boohoo, what kind of peerless good man is CEO Jun? How can I meet such a husband?]

    [First of all, if you were such a perfect woman like Xia Wanyuan, then you would have met a man like Jun Shiling. Actually, there¡¯s no question of who is better between the two of them. I think they¡¯re a match made in heaven. A perfect match.]

    ......

    After a while, the ck screen in the live-stream was pulled open again. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips were red as she leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, half of her face buried in his chest.

    ]Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair in a leisurely manner.

    [This is the real ¡®Leisurely Life¡¯. If the two of them do a variety show like this for the rest of their lives, I can watch it for the rest of my life. Sigh, other people¡¯s love is always so beautiful.]

    The ¡°divorce¡± rumor was broken. No one could go against their conscience and say that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were a fake couple after seeing such a scene.

    In the Jiang family, Jiang Kui asked the photographer to leave. Finally, he could not hold back his temper and smashed his fifth phone in the month. ¡°Damn it, why does he always turn misfortune into good luck?¡±

    Zou Man sneered. ¡°This isn¡¯t called turning misfortune into fortune. This is called true feelings.¡±

    ¡°What true feelings? He just knows how to lie.¡± Jiang Kui was too annoyed with Zou Man now. Once Zou Man spoke, he did not want to talk to her.

    ¡°Then lie too.¡± Zou Man smiled mockingly. ¡°If you can give me half of your assets, our rumors will copse. Do you dare?¡±

    He could not even bear to buy ten million yuan worth of jewelry for her. It was probably impossible for him to take half of the family assets.

    As expected, Jiang Kui red at Zou Man. ¡°If you want the family assets, look for Jun Shiling. Do you think Jun Shiling will like you?¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Zou Man clenched her fists and suppressed the anger in her heart. ¡°You want to look for Xia Wanyuan, but she doesn¡¯t like you either.¡±

    This sentence also angered Jiang Kui. The two of them were red in the face and neither of them gave in.

    However, when they went out and stood under the camera, they were still extremely loving and affectionate.

    In theirpetition with Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, they had already fallen into a disadvantage. They could not let othersugh at them anymore.

    However, the love that was suppressed by anger was awkward no matter how one looked at it.

    [I¡¯m sorry for being so young and ignorant. How did I say that Zou Man and Jiang Kui were in love?]

    [So liking someone can¡¯t be hidden. Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes. Jiang Kui called her Baby Zou Man, but his eyes were actually not on Zou Man.]

    [ I can¡¯t take it anymore. It¡¯s really awkward. Quick, cut to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perspective. I¡¯d rather be stuffed to death with dog food than be embarrassed to death. ]

    The next night,

    ording to the data given by the monitoring website, every time it came to Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, the viewership ratings would always soar. When it came to Zou Man and Jiang Kui, it began to fall rapidly.

    The audience¡¯s reaction gave all the answers.

    That night, An Rao nestled on the sofa and called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister, richdy, can I hug your thigh?¡± An Rao had been chasing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s show since she had nothing to do at home. Seeing what Jun Shiling had said to Xia Wanyuan, An Rao was extremely touched.

    ¡°Hug, hug, hug. What do you want? I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± The rich woman, Wanyuan, was very generous.

    An Rao chuckled. ¡°I want you to be my bridesmaid, okay?¡±

    Seeing that the wedding was imminent, An Rao was anxious and expectant, and even a little nervous.

    ording to China¡¯s marriage habits, married women could not be bridesmaids, but An Rao did not want anyone else to do it. She only wanted Xia Wanyuan to apany her.

    ¡°But I¡¯m already married. Isn¡¯t that not good?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little hesitant.

    ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s okay. Sister, please. You¡¯re the best. Look, you and CEO Jun are so happy. If you¡¯re my bridesmaid, you¡¯ll definitely be able to give me good luck.¡± An Rao acted coquettishly towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Do you need Jun Shiling to be your best man?¡±

    ¡°This¡­¡± An Rao had the guts to argue with Xia Wanyuan, but she did not have the guts to ask Jun Shiling to be her best man. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble CEO Jun. He¡¯s so busy. Bo Xiao has a group ofrades who can be his best man.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Howl, sister, I love you too much. Why are you so good?¡± If not for the fact that she was pregnant and could not walk easily, An Rao would have immediately run to the manor to hug Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright, take good care of the baby. Someone is already making the wedding dress. It can be done before your wedding. I¡¯ll send the design to youter.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Sister, I know the clothes you designed will look especially good without me looking at it.¡± An Rao happily ate the fruit Bo Xiao handed her. ¡°Then go ahead and call me if you want to look for me.¡±

    Just as the call ended, An Rao received the wedding photo sent by Xia Wanyuan. With just a nce, her eyes lit up.

    Just looking at it made her feel that it was sparkling and extremely dreamy. An Rao imagined herself wearing clothes and was so beautiful that she was about to bubble.

    Bo Xiao knocked An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°What are you so happy about?¡±

    An Rao touched her stomach. ¡°I just feel that Yuan Yuan is so good. Meeting her is the luckiest thing for me.¡±

    Bo Xiao clicked his tongue. ¡°You¡¯re not lucky to meet me?¡±

 Chapter 1110 - Weakness

    <h4>Chapter 1110: Weakness</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    An Rao snorted softly. ¡°You¡¯re so petty. You¡¯re still jealous of Yuan Yuan.¡±

    However, seeing Bo Xiao¡¯s disappointed expression, An Rao held his hand again. ¡°I¡¯m very lucky to have met you. It¡¯s the second luckiest thing in my life. After all, if not for Yuan Yuan, we wouldn¡¯t have known each other.¡±

    Only then did Bo Xiao smile and rub An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°Silly, did you really think I would be jealous of Sister-inw?¡±

    Only then did An Rao happily hand the map in her hand to Bo Xiao. ¡°Look, Yuan Yuan designed a wedding dress for us. Look at yours. Doesn¡¯t it look good?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Bo Xiao nodded and touched An Rao¡¯s stomach. The child, who was more than seven months old, could already move. As if sensing his father approaching, the little fellow kicked Bo Xiao hard in his stomach, causing the corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes to raise slightly.

    In the manor, seeing that Xia Wanyuan was drawing the wedding dress again, Jun Shiling walked over and took a look. ¡°Isn¡¯t it already done?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to be An Rao¡¯s bridesmaid.¡± Xia Wanyuan drew the design seriously.

    ¡°Bridesmaid?¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling was deep in thought. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was focused on what she was doing and had no intention of paying attention to him, Jun Shiling quietly walked out of the study and called Lin Jing.

    Although it was already ten in the evening, Special Assistant Lin, who was still working overtime in the Jun Corporation¡¯s office, was still a little stunned when he heard Jun Shiling¡¯s request. ¡°CEO Jun, you want?¡±

    ¡°Give me a few proposals in a week.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Lin Jing adjusted his sses. He had always carried out Jun Shiling¡¯s requests.

    In the office, Lin Jingpleted the progress of the day. It was almost midnight when he walked out of the building with hisputer.

    He could notplete what Jun Shiling had instructed him to do in thepany. He nned to take it home before doing it.

    ......

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this Special Assistant Lin? I can see you sote at night. Tsk tsk, you¡¯re really a workaholic.¡± Just as Lin Jing walked out of the building, a shy red sports car stopped by the roadside. The loud roar seemed to want to split the entire street in half.

    The woman in the driver¡¯s seat also revealed her corbone and slender neck in the cold night. Her gorgeous facial features were ostentatious and flirtatious in the night sky.

    ¡°President Qin.¡± Lin Jing nodded slightly with a polite smile.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± The woman had a mocking smile on her face. ¡°Special Assistant Lin, your heart is really made of stone. I¡¯ve been chasing you for almost three years, yet you still call me President Qin.¡±

    Lin Jing adjusted his sses. His handsome facial features became gentler under the light. At the same time, there was a sense of alienation from his bones. ¡°I also told you long ago that I would never consider rtionships, President Qin.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Qin Yu¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. ¡°How much does Jun Shiling give you a year? Is thirty million a year enough for you? Can a hundred million do it? Or how much do you want? Are you so willing to work for him?¡±

    Lin Jing could be said to be the subordinate that all entrepreneurs in the world dreamed of. He was extremely capable, and the key was that he was very loyal. After so many years, countless people wanted to poach him away from Jun Shiling. No matter how much they paid, they did not seed in the end.

    ¡°My existence is to serve CEO Jun.¡± Lin Jing¡¯s eyes were firm, as if nothing else could shake his faith.

    ¡°Good, very good. As expected, it¡¯s the Special Assistant Lin I know,¡± Qin Yu said through gritted teeth. Then, she stepped on the elerator angrily and left.

    Under the streetmp, Lin Jing stood quietly and watched Qin Yu leave. There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, but in the end, he returned to calmness.

    Ever since he was brought back from that dark ce by Jun Shiling ten years ago, he had sworn in his heart that he was willing to do everything for Jun Shiling after Jun Shiling pulled him out of hell.

    Any personal feelings would be his weakness.

    To be Jun Shiling¡¯s most perfect right-hand man, he was not allowed to have any weakness.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Continent F.

    After a few days, Wei Zimu finally arrived at an extremely hidden underground world under a group of people.

    This world built underground did not see sunlight all year round. The lights were as bright as day all year round, so it was called the Nightless City.

    In the deepest pce in Nightless City, Yu Qian sat on a high seat and was casually flipping through the documents in his hand.

    Hearing footsteps, Yu Qian looked up and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

    He walked towards Wei Zimu. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back.¡±

    Wei Zimu removed the blindfold and looked at Yu Qian. ¡°Why are you covering my eyes? I won¡¯t return to China. Why can¡¯t you let me see?¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Brother, do I need your approval if I don¡¯t want to let you see.¡±

    Wei Zimu sighed in his heart. ¡°Did you ask me toe back because you need me to do an experiment?¡±

    When he boarded the ne to Continent F, Wei Zimu was already prepared to bid farewell to the world permanently.

    <i>Yu Qian should hate me very much. The medicine injected into my body is getting more and more terrifying. Perhaps this time, I won¡¯t be able to hold on anymore.</i>

    Yu Qian nced at Wei Zimu¡¯s expression as if he knew what he was thinking. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. How can I bear to let you die? You¡¯re my only family. No matter who I let die, I won¡¯t let you die. Come with me.¡±

    As Yu Qian spoke, he walked to the side. Wei Zimu hesitated for a moment before following him.

    About ten minutester, Yu Qian stopped at the door of aboratory. He entered the password and the huge electronic door slowly opened. Wei Zimu looked up and was stunned.

    This was a hugeboratory that seemed to have no end. In the ss cover beside it, there were rooms that were only about three square meters. There was a person lying in each room.

    They had different skin colors and ages. The same thing was that they all had painful expressions.

    Yu Qian turned on the disy and observed the data for the day. He turned around and saw Wei Zimu stunned at the door with a smile on his face. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong? How¡¯s my experiment? Does it look good?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian in shock. ¡°Experiment?!¡±

    Yu Qian smiled. In Wei Zimu¡¯s opinion, this smile made him feel extremely ufortable. ¡°Yes, do they look good?¡±

    Wei Zimu gritted his teeth. ¡°How can you do this?! These are all living people.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian nodded. ¡°You too. Go in yourself.¡±

    With that, before Wei Zimu could react, Jayce, who was standing at the side, pushed Wei Zimu into a small room.

    The room was surrounded by transparent ss, and he could see the miserable state of the people around them. They stared straight at Wei Zimu with their despairing eyes, and Wei Zimu felt his heart tingle.

    In China, ¡°Leisurely Life¡± was extremely popr as the production team had expected. After the asset transfer incident, the shares of the Jun Corporation rose and sessfully climbed to a high point.

    In the Jiang family¡¯s vi, Jiang Kui saw the shares of the Jun Corporation soar early in the morning. Compared to the news of the Jiang family¡¯s corporation falling, he felt his teeth burning.

    However, Zou Man walked over at this moment. Jiang Kui felt that she was an eyesore. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t kept persuading me to participate in this show back then, ourpany¡¯s shares wouldn¡¯t have fallen so much.¡±

    Zou Man sneered.<i>?I wonder who wants topete with Jun Shiling every day. Now, he¡¯s ming me.?</i>¡°Alright, if you have the time to me me, why don¡¯t you think about how to deal with Jun Shiling and the rest?¡±

    ¡°If I don¡¯t have the energy, do you?¡± Jiang Kui rolled his eyes.

    ¡°No matter what, I have more ideas than you.¡± Zou Man swirled the red wine ss in her hand and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°The Jun Corporation has done so much. Do you think the Jiang family is the only one who wants to take him down? The enemy of the enemy is a friend. No matter how powerful Jun Shiling is, can he defeat an army?¡±

    Hearing Zou Man¡¯s words, Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°Do I need you to teach me this? Do you think I don¡¯t want to find others to join forces? The key is that in China, which big family isn¡¯t an old fox? Who would be willing to take the risk?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s because you can¡¯t bear to. There¡¯s no one that can¡¯t be resolved by benefits. If not, then it must be that the benefits aren¡¯t big enough. Let¡¯s see if you can afford it.¡± Zou Man¡¯s words had a hidden meaning. She believed that Jiang Kui could understand.

    The Jiang family was arge family whose foundation was not inferior to the Jun family. Why were Jiang Kui¡¯s words useless outside and could not pull in people from other families? It was because he was only the crown prince and not the real head of the family.

    If he was the head of the Jiang family today, the weight of his words would bepletely different.

    Jiang Kui, who had a disdainful expression, now had some consideration. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Zou Man took a sip of wine. ¡°Nothing. I just want to say that your sister¡¯s prestige in thepany must be getting better and better.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s words stabbed Jiang Kui¡¯s heart.

    ......

    Over the past few days, Jiang Yun had gone crazy. She had desperately invested herself in thepany and taken down many big orders that he had not been able to take down. Not only was her father praising her, but everyone in thepany was also praising Jiang Yun.

    He had already waited for a long time, but he could not obtain any real power in the Jiang family. If he waited any longer, what would happen to him in the future if his father handed the Jiang family to Jiang Yun?

    Thinking of this, a ruthless glint shed across Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes. Zou Man nced at him and did not speak.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the office of the Jiang Corporation, Jiang Yun was dressed in a neat suit and looking at the documents on the table intently. Her secretary walked in and ced a pile of documents on the table. ¡°CEO Jiang, the documents you wanted have been prepared. Please take a look.¡±

    ¡°I understand. You can leave first.¡± Jiang Yun¡¯s expression was calm and she did not even look up.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Only when the office door was closed did Jiang Yun stop writing and look at the information beside her.

    She reached for a stack of documents and flipped through them.

    On it was Xia Yu¡¯s experiences since he was young.

    Jiang Yun took a few nces and felt that she really knew very little about Xia Yu.

    In her heart, Xia Yu was easily shy and exquisite. He was just a child who had not grown up.

    However, she did not expect Xia Yu to have such a side.

    In his uniform, he was tall and handsome. There was determination on his sunny face. It turned out that there was such a bright light of faith in his easily shy eyes.

    After flipping through it for a while, Jiang Yun pushed the document aside and rubbed her tired eyebrows.

    Ever since that coffee shop incident, Jiang Yun had never been able to contact Xia Yu again.

    In the end, she could not help but get someone to investigate. The news she received was that Xia Yu had gone to the most chaotic Continent F.

    It would be a lie to say that she was not worried, but after saying those words back then, there was already an irreversible rift between her and Xia Yu.

    Furthermore, she was a member of the Jiang family and was destined to have no oue with Xia Yu.

    Jiang Yun took a short time from her busy work to recall what had happened after she met Xia Yu. At some point, a smile that she did not notice appeared on her lips.

    However, a few minutester, Jiang Yun forced herself to leave the emotions of her memories and focus on theplicated matters.

    She could tell that Jiang Kui had been too impatient recently. Under immense pressure, Jiang Kui might do some extreme actions. She had to be prepared early.

    No matter how hopeless it was, she had to fight for herself. Once Jiang Kui controlled the Jiang family, she would lose everything, including her freedom.

    On the sea leading to Continent F, a cargo ship was traveling through the waves.

    The blue sky was reflected on the sea. Not far away, a whale spat a huge water pir into the sky.

    On the snow-white deck, a young man in a ck uniform stood tall and straight. He stood by the fence, thinking about something.

    ¡°Hey, Brother, are you cking here?¡± Behind him, his teammate walked over and ced his hand on the young man¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°It¡¯s a little stuffy inside. I came out to take a breather.¡± The young man turned around. It was Xia Yu. He had a sunny smile on his face, and his white teeth were even brighter under the sunlight.

    ¡°Cut it out. I¡¯ve been through it before. Do you miss your girlfriend?¡± His teammate winked at Xia Yu. ¡°It was the same when I first went on a mission. I would think of my girlfriend for no reason. That expression, heh, is just like yours now.¡±

    ]Xia Yu¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he quickly hid it. ¡°I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± The teammate looked surprised. ¡°You¡¯re so handsome, but you don¡¯t have a girlfriend? I don¡¯t believe you. Are you too embarrassed to say it?¡±

    Xia Yu shook his head helplessly. ¡°I really don¡¯t. I¡­¡±

    Halfway through his sentence, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes suddenly froze as he stared straight at the sea not far away.

    There seemed to be a ck dot there, but it quickly disappeared. Xia Yu thought that he had seen wrongly. He walked to the other side of the deck and looked into the distance.

    The distant sea was calm. It was so clean that one could only see the line between the sea and the sky.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± His teammate looked into the distance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, didn¡¯t we just win a battle? This sea area is our territory. No one else cane at this time.¡±

    Just as he finished speaking, Xia Yu tightened his grip on the fence.

    In the distance, one or two ck dots suddenly appeared on the originally empty horizon. Gradually, they became four to five, ny, and more and more, forming an entire team that drove over.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± His teammate was instantly on guard. ¡°Xia Yu, watch the situation here. I¡¯ll report.¡±

    His teammate quickly ran into the cabin. Just as he arrived at themand room, a deafening explosion sounded outside.

 Chapter 1112 - Angel

    <h4>Chapter 1112: Angel</h4>

    ¡°What happened?¡± The leaders in themand room were sitting together for a meeting when they were suddenly shocked by the loud noise outside. They hurriedly stood up.

    Everyone looked at the radar detector at the side in unison. It did not show any abnormalities.

    ¡°Not good, arge fleet is driving towards us. From the looks of it, it¡¯s less than five kilometers away. Our signal has been disrupted!¡± It was only when the unknown team outside entered the extreme detection area that the device began to report.

    ¡°Gather quickly.¡± With an order, everyone was ready to go.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Yu?¡± While he was busy, the leader looked around and did not see Xia Yu. He hurriedly asked.

    ¡°Xia Yu is still on the deck!¡± The team member from before was shocked. ¡°I wonder if he hid in.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± The leader panicked. He picked up his things and rushed out, ignoring the artillery fire outside.

    Others might not know Xia Yu¡¯s background, but how could he not know?

    That was a death order from the highest official, telling him to ensure Xia Yu¡¯s safety. If anything happened to Xia Yu, how was he going to exin to the higher-ups?

    A group of people rushed to the deck. The moment they appeared, they were shocked by the fast-moving fleet opposite.

    How did such arge fleet look like a pirate¡¯s ship?!! Furthermore, the sound of the cannonball was not right.

    Something was wrong!

    In the next second, more and more cannons fired at them. In the smoke, it was impossible to tell who was who. Everyone could only give up on looking for Xia Yu and focus on dealing with this group of attackers.

    ......

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent M, outside the high-ss VIP ward, a group of people surrounded Fang Jin.

    ¡°Fang Jin, you¡¯re the closest person to Mr. Blue. How is he now? Why won¡¯t you let us see him?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re his family. Why can¡¯t we see him? Did you deliberately say that to monopolize the Blue family¡¯s inheritance?!¡±

    Fang Jin nced at the so-called socialites and gentlemen in front of him. ¡°Mr. Blue is inside. If you feel that there¡¯s something wrong with what I said, you can go in and ask him yourself. But you have to bear the consequences yourself.¡±

    ¡°You! Just you wait!¡± The blond man stared fiercely at Fang Jin, as if he wanted to swallow him alive. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Mr. Blue was unwilling to see them now. Even though he was already sick, the prestige he had umted over a long time still intimidated everyone, making them not dare to step into the ward.

    Arge group of people left the hospital in a grandiose manner. When they walked out, a tall man suddenly waved at Li Na.

    ¡°Cousin.¡± Li Na walked over.

    ¡°Li Na, I have something to ask you. Answer me honestly.¡± The man called cousin was Wayne from the second branch of the Blue family. ¡°I heard that Mr. Blue has a daughter in China, and he ns to give half of his inheritance to this daughter. Do you know about this?¡±

    Li Na¡¯s expression changed. ¡°How do you know this?¡±

    ¡°So it¡¯s true?¡± Wayne¡¯s blue eyes were filled with ruthlessness. ¡°This matter has spread throughout the Blue family. They all know. You and your mother are Chinese. You know the exact situation better than us. Who is that woman?¡±

    Once Mr. Blue fell ill, the entire Blue family was in a panic. What worried everyone the most was the division of Blue¡¯s current inheritance. There was no secret in the world. After spending the money, everyone obtained the information they wanted.

    However, this information made the already panicked and worried people even more flustered.

    Li Na pursed her lips. ¡°Cousin, I shouldn¡¯t have said this, but as you know, my mother and I don¡¯t have much to rely on. If in the future...¡±

    Wayne immediately patted his chest. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As long as we sessfully obtain the inheritance, I guarantee that you and your mother will have endless wealth in the future.¡±

    Only then did Li Na hook her finger at Wayne. Wayne lowered his head and Li Na whispered a name in his ear.

    ¡°Why do I feel that this person¡¯s name sounds a little familiar?¡± Wayne frowned, his handsome face twisted with conflict. ¡°Alright, I understand. Thank you. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when I have the chance.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Cousin.¡± Li Na waved goodbye to Wayne and turned to leave.

    Wayne was only concerned about the familiar name and did not notice the triumphant smile on Li Na¡¯s face when she turned to leave.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wanyuan.¡± As Wayne walked back, he muttered this name until he got into the car. After a few steps, he suddenly stepped on the brakes. ¡°Xia Wanyuan!!!¡±

    <i>Isn¡¯t that my goddess¡¯s Chinese name?!!!</i>

    Because Mr. Blue was Chinese, Wayne had been influenced by him and had been very interested in Chinese culture since he was young, especially those paintings and paintings. He especially liked to collect treasures.

    Last year, when he was browsing a certain social media website, he was shocked by the painter ¡°wanxia-yuan¡± from China. That day, he bought many of her works anonymously.

    Later, when Yuan Wanxia fell off the horse and he saw the painter¡¯s appearance, Wayne turned from a passerby fan to a hardcore fan.

    He even made up for Yuan Wanxia¡¯s various videos, television dramas, and movies by buying many of her paintings and paintings at a high price.

    Li Na had said a Chinese name just now, so he did not react immediately.

    <i>Now that I realized it, wasn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan Yuan Wanxia, my dream goddess, the one I worshiped?! </i>

    Wayne could not describe his current feelings.

    A second ago, he was still filled with killing intent and wanted to tear this woman who wanted to snatch their assets into pieces. In the next second, he realized that this woman who wanted to snatch his assets was actually the goddess he had always liked.

    Wayne pped the steering wheel hard. <i>Did God specially make things difficult for me?</i>

    Wayne struggled for a while and suddenly thought of something.

    Now, the core members of the Blue family had basically received the news. The others were not fans of Xia Wanyuan. In their eyes, Xia Wanyuan was here to snatch the family assets from them. She was a thorn in their flesh that they wanted to get rid of.

    He had to quickly think of a way to remind Xia Wanyuan first.

    With this thought in mind, Wayne stepped on the elerator and rushed home.

    <i>The family assets could be earned again. If the goddess was gone, then it was really gone. </i>Wayne, the fan, did not waver at all and made his own choice.

    Hence, the next morning in China, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up when an urgent private letter was sent to the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and saw that it was an anonymous letter. The words on it were crooked, as if it had been written by someone who had just learned Chinese.

    ¡°My most beautiful Angel, someone from the Blue family wants to hurt you. Be careful.¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over and saw Angel at a nce. His face darkened.

    ¡°Who sent it?¡± Jun Shiling reached out and took the letter. ¡°Is it that good?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could tell that he was jealous again. ¡°You have to be jealous about this too? Can¡¯t someone send me a letter?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°I really didn¡¯t know that there were people in the Blue family who admired you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snatched the letter back, not wanting to argue with Jun Shiling about this meaningless topic. ¡°What does he mean? Why would someone in the Blue family want to hurt me?¡±

    Speaking of this, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was a little solemn. ¡°I also received news that the person in charge of the Blue family, your biological father, doesn¡¯t have long to live. He might have left half of his inheritance to you in his will.¡±

    Once the news spread, how could the Blue family watch their assets be divided for nothing? They had been restless recently.

    ¡°Half of the inheritance? How is that possible? He hasn¡¯t even seen me.¡± Xia Wanyuan had also heard some things about Mr. Blue and his mother.

    However, that was all in the past. Mr. Blue had left China for more than twenty years.?<i>How could he leave half of his inheritance to a daughter he had never met?</i>

    ¡°This matter is strange. Someone should be pushing it.¡± Jun Shiling had gathered information from all over the world. He felt that this matter was not so simple.

    Xia Wanyuan threw the letter aside. ¡°Whether he gives it to me or not, I won¡¯t take it.¡±

    She was too busy. If a few more matters came, she would not be able to withstand them.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheek. ¡°Just be Madam Jun in peace. Leave the rest to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pped Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away with a thoughtful expression.

    ......

    Speaking of the Blue family, it reminded her of Wei Jin.

    Wei Zimu only sent her a message and disappeared from China.

    Now that the Wei family was leaderless, her energy was limited. Now, only Wei Jin was suitable to host the Wei family, but Wei Jin had not contacted her for a long time. She did not know what Wei Jin was thinking.

    The Mu family.

    Wei Jin looked at Mu Feng on the bed and frowned.

    It had been an entire month since Mu Feng was discharged and went home to recuperate. When he was discharged, the doctor had clearly said that as long as he recuperated well, Mu Feng would be able to recover in half a month.

    However, a month had passed. Not only had Mu Feng¡¯s illness not recovered, but his body was also getting weaker. In fact, over the past few days, he had often fallen into a deep sleep and had very little time to wake up.

    Wei Jin took a wet towel and wiped the sweat off Mu Feng¡¯s face. Looking at the medicine bottle hanging by the bed, a dark glint shed across Wei Jin¡¯s eyes.

    Mu Feng had always been taken care of by her and ate the same food as her. Since she was fine, it meant that the daily food would not cause any harm to Mu Feng¡¯s body.

    She suspected that there was something wrong with the medicine the doctor sent over every day, which was why Mu Feng¡¯s health had not improved.

    Wei Jin stood up and carefully observed the medicine bottle hanging there. There seemed to be some white powder at the mouth of the bottle.

    Wei Jin was about to take a closer look when footsteps came from outside. Wei Jin hurriedly sat back down and carefully wiped Mu Feng¡¯s face, as if nothing had happened.

    ¡°Miss Wei, the doctor is here. Go out first. The doctor is going to treat Young Master.¡± The butler did not show any respect to Wei Jin. Instead, his words were very arrogant.

    ¡°I want to apany Mu Feng.¡± Wei Jin sensed that something was wrong. She was worried that the doctor would secretly do something and did not want to leave.

    ¡°Pfft, what¡¯s the use of apanying him?¡± At this moment, Zhang Yi walked in with Wang Ya. There was a mocking expression on her face. ¡°You¡¯ve apanied Young Master for so long, but you haven¡¯t seen him recover? Instead, he¡¯s getting worse. I think you didn¡¯t take good care of him.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wang Ya looked at Wei Jin angrily. ¡°If not for you, Brother Mu Feng wouldn¡¯t have been injured. Now, you¡¯re even taking care of Brother Mu Feng like this. I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking.¡±

    Wei Jin gripped the towel tightly. She was weak now and could not gain anything from a direct conflict with Zhang Yi. Wei Jin looked at Mu Feng deeply. ¡°Then treat him.¡±

    Before she left, Wei Jin stared straight at Zhang Yi. ¡°Mu Feng is the only descendant of the Mu family for several generations. If anything happens to him¡­¡±

    Wei Jin did not say anything else, but everyone present knew what was going on.

    Finally, when Wei Jin¡¯s figure disappeared from the room, Wang Ya¡¯s eyes were a little flustered. She looked at Zhang Yi. ¡°Mom, does Wei Jin know something?¡±

    Zhang Yi was very calm. ¡°Even if she knows, what can she do? Do you really think I¡¯m so bold? If not for Old Mu¡¯s approval, would I dare to do this?¡±

    Although the Mu family would eventually pass into Mu Feng¡¯s hands, Father Mu did not want to hand over his power when he was in his prime.

    Father Mu seemed to be unaware of what Zhang Yi had done, but Zhang Yi knew him too well. He had only turned a blind eye.

    As long as she did not kill Mu Feng, Father Mu would not me her. Zhang Yi waved his hand. ¡°Alright, Doctor, give him the medicine. Pay attention to the amount and don¡¯t kill him.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The doctor took out a fewrge bottles of medicine from the medical box and mixed them with a syringe before injecting them into Mu Feng¡¯s blood vessels.

    Outside the room, Wei Jin gritted her teeth tightly. Her usually elegant expression had broken.

    She could guess what was happening in the room, but she was powerless.

    Back then, when she returned from the manor, the Mu family had forcefully taken her phone away with the excuse that the radiation on her phone would affect Mu Feng¡¯s health. She had no way to contact the outside world.

    In the huge vi, other than the sleeping Mu Feng, there was no one else she could rely on.

    Wei Jin looked at the garden outside the window, her eyes filled with sorrow.

    She thought that as long as she took good care of Mu Feng, they could leave the Mu family and live alone after Mu Feng recovered.

    However, she did not expect that the Mu family would be so heartless as to ignore Mu Feng¡¯s health and forcefully make them stay in the vi, forming a disguised house arrest.

    ¡°Alright, go in and take care of Young Master.¡± After some time, the doctor and the rest finally walked out. ¡°Remember to hydrate Young Master more.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Looking at the kind-looking doctor, Wei Jin clenched her fists and walked into the room.

    It had been three days since thest time Mu Feng woke up. Looking at Mu Feng¡¯s quiet sleeping face, Wei Jin¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red.

    It was all her fault for being too arrogant and thinking that she could deal with everything in the Mu family. In the end, she and Mu Feng were forced into a hopeless situation.

 Chapter 1114 - Help

    <h4>Chapter 1114: Help</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Wei Jin looked at the closed door behind her, walked to the bed, and carefully sniffed the medicine bottle. The strong smell made her dizzy.

    Wei Jin frowned.?<i>Before I left the room, this was not the smell I had smelled. The medicine must have been changed.?</i>

    She carefully removed the medicine bottle and ced it aside. Then, she steeled her heart and removed the syringe from Mu Feng¡¯s hand.

    Wei Jin did not have a professional technique, so the moment the syringe was pulled out, the back of Mu Feng¡¯s hand began to be filled with blood. Arge amount of blood overflowed from the wound. Wei Jin looked around. In the end, she could only pull open her coat and use her sweater to suck the endless blood.

    Fortunately, although the blood flowed quickly, it did notst long. Wei Jin¡¯s snow-white sweater was already bright red. She zipped up her coat to hide the mess inside.

    The person delivering lunch was about to arrive. Wei Jin quickly poured out the medicine in the medicine bottle and reced it with water. She hung the bottle on the spot and pasted the syringe on the back of Mu Feng¡¯s hand.

    Just as she was done, the door opened and the servants walked in with lunch. ¡°Miss Wei, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±

    On the te were a few ck dishes that could not be seen what they were originally.

    Wei Jin pursed her lips and used her body to block the medicine tube that should have been dripping continuously.

    The servants put down their tes and were about to leave when someone suddenly sniffed around. ¡°Why is there a smell of blood?¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but she did not show it on her face. She was very calm. ¡°My period is here. Help me prepare what I need.¡±

    With that, Wei Jin turned her body slightly, revealing the chair that was dyed red by Mu Feng¡¯s blood.

    In the eyes of the servants, Wei Jin had stained the chair during her period.

    ......

    Everyone waved their hands impatiently. ¡°Got it. How troublesome.¡±

    Only when the servants disappeared at the door did Wei Jin finally heave a sigh of relief.

    She went forward to check on Mu Feng¡¯s condition. Seeing that the back of his hand was no longer bleeding, she sat on the chair and guarded Mu Feng.

    Wei Jin was not sure when Mu Feng would wake up, so she could only wait. From morning to night, she did not dare to rx for a second.

    She was afraid that she would make a mistake in changing the medicine and had to check Mu Feng¡¯s health every hour.

    Twenty hourster, the moon was already hidden in the sky. Mu Feng finally moved his fingers slightly.

    Wei Jin, who had been very nervous, sensed this small change immediately. She stared intently at Mu Feng. Finally, Mu Feng¡¯s eyshes moved and he opened his eyes with great effort.

    ¡°Mu Feng.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s voice was already a little choked. ¡°You¡¯re finally awake.¡±

    Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin and frowned. ¡°Did someone bully you?¡±

    Mu Feng had been lying on the bed for too long and could not tell the length of time. He did not know what year it was. In his opinion, he had only slept for a short time.

    ¡°No, time is tight now. Listen to me.¡± Mu Feng finally woke up. Wei Jin did not want to waste time. She told Mu Feng everything that had happened in the past few days and secretly told Mu Feng her suspicions.

    After hearing this, Mu Feng looked very shocked. ¡°I¡¯ve been unconscious for five days?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Jin nodded. ¡°We¡¯re trapped here now.¡±

    ¡°Be good.¡± Mu Feng could not stand Wei Jin¡¯s red eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll think of a way.¡±

    After what Wei Jin said, Mu Feng quickly knew who the mastermind was.

    However, even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, he did not expect his father to be so amazing. For the power in his hands, he could let Zhang Yi do such a crazy thing.

    Now that Father Mu had made up his mind to house arrest them, the entire vi must be filled with his people. With his illness and Wei Jin, it was impossible for him to escape.

    Then he could only force them to send him and Wei Jin out.

    Mu Feng struggled to sit up. Wei Jin hurriedly supported him. The long sleep made him dizzy.

    ¡°Listen to me.¡± Mu Feng covered his forehead. ¡°No matter what happenster, don¡¯t stop me. We can¡¯t be trapped here forever. As time passes, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to protect you.¡±

    He did not expect that he would sleep for so long. While he was unconscious, Wei Jin must have suffered a lot.

    If he let Zhang Yi and the rest continue like this, he was afraid that something would happen to Wei Jin.

    ¡°What are you going to do?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Just remember that when I ask you to call for helpter, just shout loudly. I have a way to get them to send us out,¡± Mu Feng said and reached out to hold Wei Jin tightly. The force was so strong that Wei Jin could not take it. ¡°Bear with it.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng lifted the mattress and took out a military knife. He had hidden this here a long time ago. He did not expect it to be useful now.

    Wei Jin¡¯s expression changed when she saw the knife. ¡°Mu Feng, you¡­¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Mu Feng pulled out the sheath and stabbed the sharp de into the artery on his neck.

    At this moment, the blood that spewed out was worlds apart from the blood that had just flowed out the back of her hand. Wei Jin was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and shouted for the people outside toe in.

    The guard outside the door walked in impatiently. Seeing the situation, he was stunned and hurriedly sent someone to report.

    ¡°Why are you still reporting?!!¡± Wei Jin was extremely flustered. She reached out to cover Mu Feng¡¯s wound, but the warm blood made her almost faint. ¡°If you don¡¯t send him to the hospital, let¡¯s see who can bear the responsibility!¡±

    The guards knew Mu Feng¡¯s status and immediately gathered people to send him away.

    Mu Feng was already in shock, but his right hand was holding Wei Jin tightly. The guards had no choice but to take the two of them away.

    Fortunately, the Mu family¡¯s private doctor was in the Mu family. When he learned of this, he hurriedly rushed over with the ambnce.

    Wei Jin¡¯s hand was held tightly by Mu Feng, and her face was filled with tears. If she had known that Mu Feng would use such a method, she would not have woken Mu Feng up no matter what.

    Blood kept flowing from Mu Feng¡¯s neck. Wei Jin felt that she had never seen so much blood in her life.

    The ambnce drove quickly and quickly sent Mu Feng and Wei Jin to the operating theater.

    Just as she entered the operating theater, Wei Jin realized that Mu Feng¡¯s grip on her hand had weakened a lot. Wei Jin carefully pulled her hand away and wiped her tears. Then, she found an opportunity and followed the nurse out. She dodged the Mu family¡¯s guards and mixed into the crowd and ran out of the hospital.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuany in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. She had just heard Jun Shiling finish a story and yawnedzily.

    ¡°Are you sleeping?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. Just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang.

 Chapter 1115 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 1115: Untitled</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan took the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliarndline number. She usually did not answer unfamiliar calls, but for some reason today, she subconsciously pressed the answer button.

    Wei Jin¡¯s anxious voice came from the phone. ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m sorry. Can you pick me up?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very direct. ¡°Location.¡±

    Wei Jin reported her location and hung up the phone anxiously.

    Xia Wanyuan sat up from the bed. Jun Shiling sensed her emotions. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    !!

    ¡°Something happened to Wei Jin.¡± Although Wei Jin did not say in detail what had happened on the phone, Wei Jin was not a rash person. Something must have happened to make her panic.

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Jun Shiling got up and put on his clothes, apanying Xia Wanyuan out the door.

    In a small shop near the hospital, Wei Jin put down the phone and carefully looked at the entrance of the hospital. Three teams were searching outside with the hospital as the center.

    Seeing that those people were getting closer and closer to the small shop, Wei Jin¡¯s palms were sweating. She nced at the street outside. Taking advantage of a young couple entering and blocking them, Wei Jin left the small shop and hid in a small alley.

    It was alreadyte at night, and the shops and supermarkets were basically closed. The streets were so quiet that only the footsteps of the investigators could be heard. Wei Jin did not dare to be too far away from the address she had reported. She was afraid that Xia Wanyuan could not find her, so she could only hide quietly in the alley.

    ¡°Trash! Why did you let that Wei Jin escape?!¡± Zhang Yi looked at the person in front of her in dissatisfaction. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to take good care of her?¡±

    ¡°Young Master has been holding her hand and won¡¯t let go. We didn¡¯t dare to dy when Young Master was like that just now.¡±

    ¡°If you can¡¯t catch her today, don¡¯te back.¡± Zhang Yi frowned. ¡°Go quickly!¡±

    ......

    <i>The Wei family would probably not take Wei Jin in, but that Xia Wanyuan was a troublesome person.</i><i>If Wei Jin ran back, wouldn¡¯t the Mu family¡¯s matters be leaked? </i>

    The more Zhang Yi thought about it, the more flustered she became.<i> No, I have to inform Mu Ting about this. </i>

    In the alley, a group of people was standing at the entrance, less than fifty meters away from her.

    Looking at the trash on the ground and thinking of the elegant woman, the captain shook his head. ¡°That woman probably won¡¯t hide in here. Let¡¯s take a look elsewhere.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Just as everyone was about to leave, a sound suddenly came from the depths of the alley. Everyone stopped in their tracks and took out the iron rod in their hands. They switched on the shlight and walked straight in.

    Wei Jin carefully hid herself behind the trash can, but the ce was too small. Half of her body was still exposed.

    ¡°Meow.¡± Not far away, a ck cat jumped down and pounced on the bottles on the ground.

    ¡°Stinky cat, you scared me. I thought that person was hiding inside. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. What smell is in this alley? It stinks.¡±

    The group of people cursed and walked back. Wei Jin heaved a sigh of relief.

    However, in the next second, the trash can in front of her was suddenly kicked away. A strong light shone on her face. The young man in the lead looked smug. ¡°What are you hiding, little beauty? I almost let you escape.¡±

    Wei Jin stood up and said neither servile nor overbearing, ¡°I¡¯m the legally recognized Young Madam of the Mu family. If you dare to mess around, Old Master Mu will not let you off.¡±

    ¡°Little beauty, you¡¯re thinking too much.¡± The captain grinned. ¡°Even if we have the heart, we don¡¯t have the guts. Alright,e with us.¡±

    A group of people surrounded Wei Jin and brought her into the car, heading straight for the Mu family¡¯s vi.

    In the vi, Zhang Yi looked at Wei Jin, who had been pressed in, and a fierce glint shed across his eyes. ¡°Hold her down.¡±

    Wei Jin did not struggle. She did not know martial arts, and the guards around her were all special-ss bodyguards. Her struggle was fearless, and it would only make Zhang Yi feel more aplished.

    Zhang Yi walked forward and pped Wei Jin¡¯s face. ¡°B*tch, you ran!¡±

    Just because Wei Jin had run out, Mu Ting had just flown into a rage at her. If Wei Jin could not be found and the fact that they had drugged Mu Feng was exposed, the Mu family would lose face.

    A hint of blood surged from Wei Jin¡¯s throat. She looked at Zhang Yi coldly. Even though she was already in such a sorry state, in Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes, she was still noble.

    She hated nobledies like Wei Jin the most in her life. Just like Mu Feng¡¯s biological mother, she hated her to the core. She hated the high and mighty nobility in their bones, making her feel even more inferior.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Wei Jin stared into Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Kill me if you dare.¡±

    The corners of Zhang Yi¡¯s lips curled up mockingly. He stroked his stomach. ¡°Didn¡¯t you rely on Mu Feng to support you? Do you really think that the Mu family only has Mu Feng?¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s pupils constricted. The next second, Zhang Yi pped her face again and leaned closer to her. ¡°There¡¯s no harm in telling you. I¡¯m pregnant. Do you think Mu Ting will choose a son who takes power from him, or a son who can only inherit the family assets in twenty years?¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s eyes shattered. Her tone was rare and anxious. ¡°If you dare to do anything to Mu Feng, Grandpa won¡¯t let you off.¡±

    ¡°Why would I do anything to him? Mu Feng is my son. I can¡¯t wait to dote on him,¡± Zhang Yi said as she gently stroked her stomach. However, when she turned around, her expression was ruthless. ¡°Beat her up.¡±

    She had been unhappy with Wei Jin for a long time. <i>Just because she had Mu Feng¡¯s love, she wanted to lord over the Mu family. Why didn¡¯t she consider her own capabilities? </i>

    After receiving Zhang Yi¡¯s order, four to five bodyguards kicked Wei Jin at the same time. Wei Jin knelt on the ground.

    Wei Jin gritted her teeth. Her body seemed to have reached its limit. There was no ce that did not hurt. In the end, she was almost numb.

    Her consciousness gradually dissipated. At thest moment before she fell into aa, Wei Jin thought of Mu Feng and her eyes filled with tears.<i> I was the one who implicated Mu Feng. If not for me, Mu Feng would not have be like this.</i>

    ¡°Madam, she fainted.¡± The bodyguards saw that Wei Jin was unconscious and squatted down to check her breathing. Fortunately, she was still alive.

    Zhang Yi nced at it and waved his hand. ¡°She¡¯s yours. Enjoy it. Just don¡¯t kill it.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Madam!¡± The bodyguards were clearly happy.

    They had all seen how beautiful Wei Jin was. Although her body was bruised, it was also another kind of fun.

    Everyone carried Wei Jin out excitedly and rushed to the dormitory.

    ¡°Brother, are you going first?¡±

    ¡°Together? What¡¯s the point of being first?¡± The captain spat and rubbed his palms together. ¡°I wonder how young this little beauty is. We¡¯re lucky today.¡±

    On the bed, Wei Jiny quietly and had already lost all consciousness.

    Four to five bodyguards hurriedly took off their clothes and pounced on him before they could even remove their belts.

    Wei Jin¡¯s clothes were instantly torn apart. Seeing the jade-like corbone on her neck, the bodyguards¡¯ eyes lit up. ¡°She¡¯s too beautiful.¡±

    With that, the few of them leaned down to kiss her.

    At that moment, the rm in the vi rang. The sound from the door tore through the night sky and enveloped the entire vi.

    The few of them paused. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s going on? Are we going out?¡±

    ¡°Who cares? It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no one else. I¡¯ve already taken off my pants. Why are you still thinking so much?¡± The captain only had eyes for Wei Jin, who was lying quietly.

    However, the rm at the door became louder and louder. In the end, it was upgraded to the highest alert state.

    No matter how excited they were, they were still a little flustered. It had been so long since they had been at their highest alert. Something big had probably happened. The captain finally cursed. ¡°Let¡¯s go. F*ck, it¡¯s not easy to find a beauty. Let¡¯s go and see who bumped into us at this time. We¡¯ll kill him.¡±

    Zhang Yi was also woken up by this voice. Mu Ting was not around tonight and she was the only one in the vi. Hearing the rm outside, she was rmed. ¡°Someonee over, what¡¯s going on outside?¡±

    ¡°Madam, someone is trying to break in. Go and take a look.¡±

    Zhang Yi frowned and put on his clothes<i>. Who was so arrogant to dare to barge into the Mu family?</i>

    The vi¡¯s door was tightly shut and there was a row of cars parked outside. The Mu family used the fact that it was toote to prevent foreign cars from entering.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the Mu family said that you can¡¯t go in.¡± The special guard had no choice but to walk to the car behind and report to Jun Shiling.

    At this moment, Lin Jing¡¯s news arrived. ¡°CEO Jun, it has been confirmed that Miss Wei has been brought into the Mu family¡¯s vi.¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out of the car. His side profile was cold as he gave hisst order. ¡°Break in.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    The people Jun Shiling brought were all high-level people selected from the military.

    After receiving Jun Shiling¡¯s order, the special guards flipped in through the door and quickly controlled the Mu family guards.

    The door opened and arge group of people quickly got out of the car and rushed into the Mu family¡¯s vi, scattering to look for Wei Jin.

    ¡°Are you rebelling?!¡± Apanied by the butler, Zhang Yi walked out. Seeing unfamiliar men rushing into the Mu family, she was shocked and angry.?<i>This was the Mu family!! How could I tolerate such humiliation??</i>She looked at the butler. ¡°Quick, inform Mu Ting.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The butler had never seen such a scene before and hurriedly walked to the side to call Mu Ting.

    Zhang Yi walked to the door and saw a pair of magnificent figures standing there from afar.

    Zhang Yi gritted his teeth.?<i>This Xia Wanyuan is really a huge problem.?</i>

    ¡°I know the Jun family is a big family that we can¡¯t afford to offend, but isn¡¯t trespassing on private property in the middle of the night too much?¡± Zhang Yi was filled with anger and his voice was much louder than usual.

    However, Jun Shiling acted as if he did not hear her and lowered his head to speak to Xia Wanyuan.

    Zhang Yi clenched his fists and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, aren¡¯t you going to give me a reason? I¡¯ve already called the police. What are you doing barging into my Mu family like this? Even if you want to bully others, you have to look at the ce properly. The Mu family isn¡¯t that weak.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Zhang Yi. The coldness in her eyes made Zhang Yi¡¯s heart turn cold.

    ¡°If anything happens to Wei Jin, I¡¯ll let you know what it means to bully others.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made Zhang Yi¡¯s heart skip a beat, but in front of so many servants, Zhang Yi barely calmed himself down. ¡°As expected of Madam Jun, you speak with such confidence. Wei Jin is the daughter-inw of my Mu family. Even if something happens, my Mu family should bear the responsibility. Madam Jun, you¡¯ve extended your hand too far.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to argue with Zhang Yi anymore. She turned around and ced her hand in Jun Shiling¡¯s coat. ¡°Cold.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    Zhang Yi stood at the side and saw that the two of them were showing off their love as if no one was around and did not take her seriously at all. The soft flesh in her mouth was about to bleed from her bite.

    The entrance fell into a deadlock. All the lights in the vi lit up one after another. The special guards searched for Wei Jin meticulously. Finally, they found the dying Wei Jin on the bed in the staff dormitory.

    The special guards carried Wei Jin out along with the bed board.

    The more Zhang Yi waited, the more anxious he became. She only hoped that the guards would do something and hide Wei Jin. If Jun Shiling¡¯s people found her, it would be hard to say.

    However, her worry came true in the next second.

    Hurried footsteps came from behind. Zhang Yi turned around and saw that on the bed carried by the special guards, Wei Jin¡¯s face was swollen and her exposed skin was bruised. She looked like she was about to die.

    Zhang Yi knew that something was wrong.

    Xia Wanyuan also saw Wei Jin¡¯s appearance. She took her hand out of Jun Shiling¡¯s clothes and took a few steps forward, her eyes cold. ¡°Send her to the hospital immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± At that moment, the sound of a huge propeller came from the sky. The helicopter sent by Jun Shiling had arrived.

    The special guards carried Wei Jin into the helicopter and ran straight to Beijing Hospital.

    ¡°You, why are you looking at me?¡± Zhang Yi felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°She just fell downstairs herself. We were about to send her to the hospital when you came.¡±

    The special guard spoke again. ¡°Madam, when we found Miss Wei, her clothes had been pulled open and she was unconscious on the bed in the bodyguard dormitory.¡±

    The coldness on Xia Wanyuan intensified, almost suffocating.

    Even a fool knew what the special guard meant.

    Xia Wanyuan took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhang Yi. She was tall and was wearing high heels. She almost crushed Zhang Yi from above.

    ¡°You barged into my Mu family¡¯s house at night and still look like you¡¯re interrogating me. It¡¯s tooughable.¡± Zhang Yi quibbled guiltily. ¡°Wei Jin has always done things improperly. Who knows why she appeared in the bodyguard¡¯s dormitory? It might be herself.¡±

    p! Before Zhang Yi could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan pped her face.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, don¡¯t go overboard! I¡¯m the mistress of the Mu family!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not say a word and kicked Zhang Yi¡¯s knee. Zhang Yi knelt on the ground.

    Xia Wanyuan extended her right hand, and the special guard handed her the baton.

    Mu Ting rushed back to the Mu family and saw a group of people gathered at the entrance from afar. When the car drove in, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and scrambled out of the car.

    <h4>Chapter 1117: CEO Jun Protects His Wife Domineeringly</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    At the door, Jun Shiling stood quietly. In front of him was Xia Wanyuan, who was holding a baton.

    ¡°Hubby, save me quickly. They hit me, Hubby!¡± Zhang Yi covered his arm and cried hysterically.

    She looked at Xia Wanyuan in horror and tried her best to be afraid toward Mu Ting, not caring about her image as the matriarch of the Mu family.

    She really did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so bold as to hit her so directly at the Mu family¡¯s door.

    The trash bodyguards raised by the Mu family were useless. When Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept over, the bodyguards deted and did not dare to go forward.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, don¡¯t go too far. My Mu family won¡¯t allow you to behave like this. Have you never thought of the consequences of doing this in front of my Mu family with your woman?!¡± Mu Ting hurriedly walked over and helped Zhang Yi up. He looked at Jun Shiling angrily.

    Jun Shiling finally turned around. His cold facial features looked even more mysterious in the dark night. His gazended on Mu Ting with a suppression that reached the sky. Mu Ting could not withstand the pressure and looked away.

    ¡°Consequences?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Have you thought of the consequences when you abuse the Wei family?¡±

    Mu Ting stood up. ¡°CEO Jun, you also know that she¡¯s from the Wei family? If she marries into the Mu family, she¡¯s be my Mu family¡¯s daughter-inw. It¡¯s our business how we want to treat her. CEO Jun, you¡¯re stretching your hand too far.¡±

    With Mu Ting¡¯s support, Zhang Yi echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right. Those who don¡¯t know might think that our daughter-inw has an improper rtionship with CEO Jun¡­ Ah!¡±

    Before Zhang Yi could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan hit her shoulder with her stick. With a crack, Zhang Yi immediately slid down Mu Ting¡¯s arm and fell to the ground.

    ¡°You¡¯re too much!¡± Mu Ting had been in charge for so many years, but he had never been humiliated like this in front of others. His hand that was pointing at Xia Wanyuan was trembling.

    Jun Shiling walked forward and protected Xia Wanyuan behind him, his gaze as cold as ice. ¡°Take your hand back, or I don¡¯t mind breaking it for you.¡±

    Compelled by Jun Shiling¡¯s aura, Mu Ting finally retracted his hand that was pointing at Xia Wanyuan. However, after thinking about it, he felt indignant. ¡°Jun Shiling, your Jun family is powerful, but my Mu family can¡¯t be bullied by you casually. Today, you brought people to cause trouble in my Mu family. You have to give me an exnation. Otherwise, even if it¡¯s a life and death struggle, I¡¯llpete with you!¡±

    Jun Shiling took the baton from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and threw it to the ground. It made a bang on the floor, scaring Mu Ting.

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to the hospital.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and turned to look at Mu Ting. The corners of his eyes curled up slightly with arrogance. ¡°I wait for you.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and left the Mu family.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Mu Ting¡¯s hands trembled in anger as he watched the convoy leave.

    ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m in so much pain. Help me call the doctor.¡± Zhang Yi sat on the ground. The coldness of the floor kept drilling into her body through her thick clothes, not to mention the ces on her body that had been hit by Xia Wanyuan. It was even more painful.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Wei Jin?¡± Just now, as Jun Shiling was around, Mu Ting wanted to protect the Mu family¡¯s face and did not ask in person. However, as the head of the Mu family, he still had some ability. How could he not tell that Xia Wanyuan hade for Wei Jin?

    At the mention of Wei Jin, Zhang Yi felt a little guilty. ¡°Who knows where she went? Xia Wanyuan and the rest barged into our house indiscriminately and took Wei Jin away. Hubby, you have to stand up for us. What right does Xia Wanyuan have to be so arrogant?! If she ps me, she¡¯s pping your face!¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Mu Ting waved his hand. ¡°Come and send Madam to the hospital.¡±

    ¡°Hubby, what about you?¡± Zhang Yi reached out, wanting Mu Ting to hug her.

    ¡°I naturally have something to do.¡± Mu Ting strode in, not caring that Zhang Yi was still lying on the ground covered in injuries.

    The servants hurriedly came over and wanted to help Zhang Yi up. However, when they touched her, she shouted loudly. The entire entrance of the vi echoed with ghost-like howls.

    The servants turned around in speechlessness. They thought to themselves that it was a good thing that the Mu family had a unique vi.<i>?If this was another district, wouldn¡¯t they scare other people¡¯s neighbors to death??</i>

 Chapter 1118 - Little Cutie Appears!

    <h4>Chapter 1118: Little Cutie Appears!</h4>

    Beijing Hospital.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had just walked to the door of the operating theater when Shen Xiu walked out. ¡°Miss Wei¡¯s injuries are serious. Fortunately, she was sent in time. The other doctors are doing the specific suturing work. I came out to tell you about her condition first.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jun Shiling nodded at Shen Xiu.

    After reporting the situation, Shen Xiu went to the office and gathered the relevant people to sort out Wei Jin¡¯s situation.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Look, Shen Xiu already said that there¡¯s no problem.¡±

    !!

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was only a little angry. She had always been a protective person. Seeing Wei Jin tortured to this extent, she felt that she had hit Zhang Yi too lightly.

    Jun Shiling could tell what she was thinking at a nce. ¡°Be good, calm down.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned and buried herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m sleepy.¡±

    The hospital had provided a special lounge for the VIPs. Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan in. ¡°Lie down for a while. I¡¯ll call you after the surgery.¡±

    The surgerysted for a long time. It was not until dawn that Wei Jin was pushed out. Her body was covered in bandages.

    Jun Shiling woke Xia Wanyuan up and the two of them went to the ward.

    Wei Jin half-opened her eyes and saw the tired Xia Wanyuan. Her eyes burned.

    <i>In desperation, someone pulled me up.</i>

    <i>Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan was my cousin. Fortunately, I had met Xia Wanyuan.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan patted Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°Rest well. Leave the rest to me.¡±

    Wei Jin blinked gently.

    When Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan back to the manor, he bumped into the intive cameraman. Only then did he remember that they were still recording the show. Last night, something had suddenly happened and he had not had time to greet the production team.

    [ Ahhh, I¡¯m waiting for someone to die. I want to see Xia Wanyuan, I want to see CEO Jun. ]

    [Can I wait for a little cutie? Where did my little darling go?]

    In the live-stream, the audience was already extremely anxious. They were shocked to see the tired Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Where did Xia Wanyuan go? Why is she in such a bad state? </i>

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan in and instructed Uncle Wang, ¡°Bring Xiao Bao back from Old Master¡¯s house and let him y with the audience. Madam won¡¯t be on camera today.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Uncle Wang received Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions and hurriedly sent someone to the courtyard to pick Xiao Bao up.

    The old master doted on Xiao Bao and secretly stuffed him with many snacks. The moment Xiao Bao got out of the car, many sweets fell out of his hat and pocket.

    Xiao Bao was so frightened that his eyes widened. He secretly looked around and did not see Jun Shiling. He patted his chest. ¡°I was scared me to death. Fortunately, Daddy is not around.¡±

    What he did not know was that his actions had already been recorded by the cameras and sent to the live-stream.

    [ Ow ow ow ow, little dumpling, I really can!! You¡¯re so cute! ]

    [CEO Jun knows us too well. In order to let his wife rest a little more, he caught the little dumpling back. Hahaha, I think this exchange is okay. I can watch the child y for the entire day!]

    [I really want to kiss the little kid¡¯s face. Ah, I smell milk. It¡¯s too cute. If I die, what can I eat to give birth to such a cute little baby?]

    Xiao Bao sensed that a camera was following him, so he leaned forward. His exquisite facial features were reflected on the camera, making the audience¡¯s hearts soften.

    ¡°Grandpa Wang, where are my daddy and mommy?¡± Xiao Bao wrinkled his nose and sniffed. He could smell the fragrance of his mommy. <i>Mommy must be back. </i>

    ¡°Madam is resting upstairs. Young Master instructed me to let you y downstairs alone. When it¡¯s time, do your homework yourself.¡± Uncle Wang looked at Xiao Bao lovingly.

    ¡°...¡± Xiao Bao puffed up his face. ¡°Grandpa Wang, can you not mention your homework? I¡¯ll go up and see Mommy first.¡±

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been busy with work and Xiao Bao had not been able to see her much. Now that Xia Wanyuan was finally at home, Xiao Bao had to visit her no matter what.

    ¡°Little Master, Madam is resting. Be quiet.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Xiao Bao nodded, then took off his shoes. Wearing a pair of socks, he carefully stepped on the floor and walked upstairs, afraid of disturbing Xia Wanyuan in the bedroom.

    [Is such a cute and sensible child distributed for free by the country? I just want to ask where to get it. I¡¯ll line up now.]

    [ Little warm man, you still know how to take off your shoes and look for Mommy. You¡¯re afraid of waking Xia Wanyuan up. My eyes turn sour. The little kid must love Xia Wanyuan very much, so he knows to take good care of her at such a young age. ]

    [Stop talking. I¡¯m in the delivery room, waiting for a position online. How can I give birth to such a cute little child?]

    <h4>Chapter 1119: Different Treatment between Father and Son</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xiao Bao carefully opened the bedroom door. In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was sleeping on the bed. Jun Shiling was sitting on the sofa dealing with work.

    Xiao Bao slowed down and walked in. Jun Shiling looked up and saw Xiao Bao¡¯s shoeless feet. In the end, he acquiesced to Xiao Bao¡¯s actions.

    He had not slept wellst night. Today, Xia Wanyuan was in a deep sleep with fatigue between her eyebrows. Xiao Bao walked to the bed and looked at Xia Wanyuan intently for a while.

    Although he did not say a word, the crystal-like light in his eyes and the big eyes that were curved into crescents showed how much he liked Xia Wanyuan.

    After a while, Xiao Bao raised his hand, pouted, and kissed his palm, then gently ced his palm on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nket.

    After doing all this, he turned around and walked to Jun Shiling. He extended his arm to Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling looked up at him with disdain.

    Xiao Bao pouted and insisted on looking at Jun Shiling. Only then did Jun Shiling reach out and pick Xiao Bao up, cing him on hisp. He held the document in one hand and supported Xiao Bao with the other.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. He turned around and hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, leaving a kiss on Jun Shiling¡¯s face that smelled like milk. He smiled foolishly at Jun Shiling.

    The photographers did not enter and stood outside the door to record everything.

    The room was silent, but the screams in the live-stream were about to overturn the roof.

    [It¡¯s so warm. I want to cry. The little kid really likes his parents. CEO Jun looks cold and aloof. He must be very good to the little kid usually. Otherwise, the little kid won¡¯t rely on him so much.]

    [Let me secretly say that I want to sit on CEO Jun¡¯sp too. Ah, it looks so exciting. I¡¯m sorry, my thoughts are dirty. I¡¯ll reflect on myself.]

    [ The person in front, there¡¯s no need to reflect. Anyway, we¡¯re all old SPs. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Who doesn¡¯t want to sit in CEO Jun¡¯s arms? The premise is that you have to be more beautiful than, more awesome than, and beat Xia Wanyuan. ]

    The production team really did not expect this.

    Even though they were separated by the door, even though Jun Shiling and his family did not speak and the scene did not change, the viewership ratings were surprisingly high.

    Inparison, Jiang Kui and Zou Man, who had received attention at first, were ignored by the audience.

    In front of all true feelings, acting seemed boring and deliberate.

    Jiang Kui was originally not interested in this variety show. In his opinion, this was something that lowered his status.

    However, in the past few days, theizens¡¯ endless admiration for Jun Shiling and their mockery of him hadpletely unbnced his mentality.

    He insisted onpeting with Jun Shiling.?<i>Why was everyone praising Jun Shiling when he was mentioned? What was wrong with me?</i>

    Hence, when the audience clicked on their live-stream perspective, they saw that Jiang Kui and Zou Man had changed from their usual selves. Zou Man, who had exquisite makeup all year round, only had light makeup on today. She held Jiang Kui¡¯s hand and walked out.

    Jiang Kui looked even more different today. He seemed much calmer. He spoke softly to Zou Man and no longer deliberately showed off his love for her.

    Seeing the two of them get into the car waiting outside the vi, everyone was curious.?<i>What were these two doing?</i>

    The car drove for nearly an hour before finally stopping at the entrance of a school in the suburbs.

    This was a school that specially recruited the children of migrant workers. The environment seemed very dpidatedpared to the schools in the city.

    [What¡¯s going on?? Why are you here?]

    [Huh?? Isn¡¯t this a children¡¯s school for migrant workers? What are they doing?]

    The audience felt curious and changed their perspectives.

    Then, they saw Zou Man holding Jiang Kui as they slowly walked into the school. Behind them, the bodyguards were carryingrge bags of supplies.

    The school leaders hurriedly weed them. They were also confused.<i>?Why did so many people suddenlye here??</i>

    ¡°Hello, Principal.¡± Jiang Kui nodded slightly at the principal. ¡°We¡¯re here to donate. I heard that this schoolcks a library. I brought funds and some living supplies. Please ept them.¡±

    The school leader was ttered and smiled in surprise. ¡°Thank you so much!! This way, please!¡±

    The leaders brought Jiang Kui and Zou Man to the office. Along the way, Zou Man greeted the children by the roadside kindly. Without makeup, she was very approachable.

    After donating and sending supplies to this school, the two of them went to a welfare home. There were many pitiful children who had no home to return to. The long-term malnutrition made them look very thin.

    Jiang Kui got someone to make fish meat on the spot. He and Zou Man each had a big spoon and stood by the iron pot to help the children get food.

    Seeing Zou Man speak softly to the children and fill them with a spoonful of meat, the audience was touched.

    [I used to think that Zou Man was more arrogant, but now it seems that these two people are really not bad. Some time ago, everyone keptughing at them. They¡¯re not worried or angry and even treat others kindly. They¡¯re really not bad people.]

    [I¡¯m curious. So many people say that they¡¯re pretending to be in love. Why can¡¯t I tell? Maybe that¡¯s how they express their love? I won¡¯t nder them for the rest of my life for doing charity.]

    [Yes,pared to these two people who are deeply involved in the people¡¯s kindness and someone who is lyingfortably in a manor that the poor will never see in their lives, the difference is obvious.]

    [ The person in front? Where¡¯s the yin-yang aura? Are you the yin-yang person herself? Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t snatch that money. Why can¡¯t they spend the money that they can earn? Are Zou Man¡¯s fans as sour and yin-yang as you? ]

    The originally goodments turned into a battlefield again because of a few words from the fans. The fans of both sides were arguing in thements, and the administrator could not stop them.

    On the afternoon Xia Wanyuan slept, Jiang Kui and Zou Man visited two schools, two welfare homes, and a nursing home, sessfully pulling back the lost reputation.

    It was six in the afternoon, time for dinner.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao, who was sleeping and drooling in his arms, then at Xia Wanyuan, who was obediently closing her eyes not far away. He reached out and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. Xiao Bao pouted and snuggled into his arms.

    Disdain shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he picked Xiao Bao up by the cor. Xiao Bao opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he was suspended in midair. He red at Jun Shiling usingly.<i>?Bad Daddy! You always do this!</i>

    However, he still remembered that Xia Wanyuan was sleeping in the end. He did not dare to make a sound and could only re at Jun Shiling hard. He only turned his head and snorted softly when his eyes were about to cramp. He decided not to bother with his father for a minute.

    Jun Shiling put him down, got up, walked to the bed, and gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. Only when her eyes slowly opened did he say gently, ¡°Wake up.¡±

    The audience who were lucky enough to watch this tragic difference:?<i>Little cutie is so pitiful. He¡¯s so cute. He should be even cuter when he cries, right? CEO Jun, you can do it. Continue to work hard.</i>

 Chapter 1120 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 1120: Untitled</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Compared to the audience¡¯s fuss, Xiao Bao was much calmer. After all, he had been used to double standards for a long time and was already immune to Jun Shiling¡¯s physical damage.

    Xia Wanyuan yawned, her eyes filled with water. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Just as he tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, a milky-smelling little dumpling squeezed over.

    ¡°Mommy, I miss you so much.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as he hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and burrowed into her arms, ignoring Jun Shiling¡¯s dark expression.

    [The little cutie will always walk the path of courting death. How can he anger CEO Jun to death?]

    [He¡¯s so cute. I think Xiao Bao must smell like milk. CEO Jun still despises such a cute little dumpling. If you don¡¯t want him, you can give it to me!]

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head and pinched his chubby face. ¡°Have you lost a little weight recently?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Xiao Bao nodded repeatedly. ¡°Mommy, I haven¡¯t seen you recently. I miss you so much that I¡¯m getting thinner.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed and pulled Xiao Bao over to kiss him on the cheek. ¡°Good boy, Mommy is preparing to get up. Go down and y for a while.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Mommy, I love you.¡± Xiao Bao returned Xia Wanyuan a loving kiss, then slipped out of bed. Halfway through, he waved at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling looked at him in disdain. In the end, he still moved towards Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao covered Jun Shiling with a peck filled with a milky fragrance in satisfaction before going downstairs happily.

    The photographer also retreated. The moment the door closed, Jun Shiling¡¯s kissnded.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan panted softly and pushed Jun Shiling away. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you again?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°I wanted to do thisst night. The situation was not right, so I endured it until now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan usually looked gentle and obedient in front of Jun Shiling. The way she taught Zhang Yi a lessonst night, in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, not only did he not feel that she was fierce, but he also felt that she was abnormally beautiful.

    That kind of arrogance with a bone-chilling sharpness could easily charm Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Go away. If you touch me again, I won¡¯t talk to you for a day.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling reproachfully. There were cameras outside. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what they had done in the bedroom.

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Jun Yin must have inherited his habit of ignoring people for no reason.¡±

    ¡°Put on my clothes.¡± Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more indecent.¡±

    Jun Shiling took the sweater and put it on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mm, you¡¯re right. I¡¯ll obey unconditionally.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could respond, Jun Shiling said, ¡°Other than a certain moment, you have to listen to me.¡±

    Then, Jun Shiling received another light kick in glory.

    In the living room, the production team pointed the camera at Xiao Bao and received the screams of the fans. Hearing footsteps, the camera moved up and arge number of waves floated in thements.

    [ ~~ Yo yo yo, I remember that their mouths weren¡¯t this color just now, right? CEO Jun, can you restrain yourself? Is Xia Wanyuan so uncontroble? ]

    [ The person in front, don¡¯t just stand there and talk. Let me ask you. If Xia Wanyuan is in your arms, can you control yourself? ]

    [ Ahem, ahem, I imagined that scene. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll wipe my nose first. The fake fire is a little strong. Just thinking about this scene makes me feel so beautiful. So I don¡¯t even dare to imagine what temptation CEO Jun is enduring every day. ]

    Just as the audience was discussing fervently, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan put on their coats and walked to the camera.

    ¡°The child will stay here and y with you. We have something on and want to take leave.¡±

    With that, the two of them left, leaving only the backs of the immortal couple.

    The production team looked at each other. Thements were also ellipses.

    [Although the little cutie is very cute, but¡­ Alright, for the sake of the little cutie, go wherever you want.]

    In Beijing Hospital, Wei Jin¡¯s condition had improved a lot.

    Seeing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, Shen Xiu came over. ¡°Her condition is very stable, and Mu Feng¡¯s side has also stabilized. Mu Feng injured his artery, but he¡¯s fine in other aspects. He stopped the calming medicine given by the Mu family and will be fine after resting for a few days.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded and nced at Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu immediately understood and walked out of the ward to wait for him.

    After Shen Xiu left, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Stay here with Wei Jin for a while. I have something to discuss with Shen Xiu.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked to Wei Jin¡¯s bed.

    Wei Jin had always received top-notchdy etiquette since she was young. This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen her in such a sorry state. Her hair was messy and she did not put on any makeup. Her face had a green and purple wound. Looking at this scene, no one would have thought that the sorry figure lying on the ground was Wei Jin, who was known as the pearl of the Wei family in the south.

    Xia Wanyuan took a towel and wiped Wei Jin¡¯s hands. She then looked at the medical record beside her. It showed that Wei Jin¡¯s condition was very stable.

    At this moment, Wei Jin, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes as if she had sensed something. She looked to the side, and her eyes were filled with joy. Her voice was still very weak. ¡°Cousin.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Xia Wanyuan put down the medical record and smiled at Wei Jin. ¡°You¡¯re recovering very well. You can be discharged after resting for a while.¡±

    ¡°Cousin, can you help me hide it from Mu Feng?¡± As Wei Jin spoke, her eyes began to turn red. ¡°It¡¯s already very hard on him. Don¡¯t let him know that I¡¯m hospitalized.¡±

    At that moment, upstairs in the hospital, Mu Feng slowly opened his eyes. He subconsciously turned to look at Wei Jin, but he only saw Jun Shiling standing by the window.

    ¡°Jun¡± Mu Feng wanted to speak, but the wound on his neck was a huge restriction.

    Hearing themotion, Jun Shiling turned around. ¡°Are you looking for Wei Jin?¡±

    Mu Feng blinked and gestured for Jun Shiling to tell him.

    Jun Shiling walked over. ¡°When you feel better, we¡¯ll talk slowly. She¡¯s very safe now, by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.¡±

    Jun Shiling knew Mu Feng well. He looked unrestrained, but he actually valued rtionships very much. If Mu Feng could not bear to do anything because he was from the Mu family, after knowing Wei Jin¡¯s encounter, it was impossible for him to reconcile with the Mu family.

    Last night, he hadpletely fallen out with the Mu family. Mu Ting would definitely change sides to the Jiang family. In the Mu family, other than Mu Feng, there was no other choice.

    Worry shed across Mu Feng¡¯s eyes. He knew that his father was trapped and had gonepletely crazy. He was afraid that his father would harm Wei Jin.

    Jun Shiling understood his gaze. ¡°I promise you.¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s guarantee, Mu Feng was relieved and finally closed his tired eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, the photographers carried cameras. One moment, they followed Xiao Bao into the garden to catch fish, the next moment, they followed him to the toy room to watch Ultraman, and the next moment, they quietly stayed by his side to watch him do his homework.

    Xiao Bao was sweet-tongued and was at the age where he was active. He could talk to himself for half a day.

    He really supported the entire live-stream alone.

    Even though it was already night, Zou Man and Jiang Kui were still busy doing charity.

    The weather was cold at night, and there were many tramps on the street. Zou Man brought her bodyguards and distributed the nkets to them one by one. The tramps were grateful. Zou Man walked far away, and everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed in Zou Man¡¯s direction. As they kowtowed, they shouted for the female Bodhisattva.

    Soon, the topic ¡°Zou Man Bodhisattva¡± became a trending topic.

    The entertainment industry was an industry that earned money very quickly, so many celebrities would donate a lot of money to charity after they became popr.

    However, there were only a handful of people like Zou Man and Jiang Kui who had personally entered the lives of ordinary people to do charity.

    Seeing that Zou Man, the mistress of the Jiang family, could actually get along with children kindly, be it fans or passers-by, they had a good impression of her.

    [I love this sister. She¡¯s beautiful and kind. I love her so much.]

    [Hehe, it¡¯s just for show. Why didn¡¯t I see her send things to others in the past? Why did she have to do charity when she was on television? This charity is really done at a good timing.]

    [ The person in front, regardless of whether it¡¯s a ck or white cat, the one who catches the mouse is a good cat. So what if Zou Man¡¯s motive is not good? Has the money been sent to the poor residents? Do the children really have a library? Even if she¡¯s putting on a show, she has already done something good. Some people unt their wealth every day, but they don¡¯t seem to be putting on a show? This is especially referring to the wife of a certain richest man. ]

    Seeing that thements section had be the battlefield between Zou Man¡¯s fans and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans again, Zou Man quickly stood up and replied.

    @ Zou Man: ¡°Doing charity is a good thing. Everyone, don¡¯t have a conflict because of this.

    Speaking of charity, I want to introduce a child to everyone @ Liu Ling. This is a child I recently sponsored.

    This little kid was a child who had walked out of the slums. Everyone could look at the animation videos posted in her ount or click on the link to her novel.

    Her talent amazed me. I don¡¯t know how many talented children like her are hidden in those dirty environments. I only want to do my best to let more people restricted by the environment have a chance to see the sky outside and let the people outside see their value.¡±

    Theizens followed Zou Man¡¯s ount and clicked on Liu Ling¡¯s ount.

    They were stunned when they saw the animation.?<i>Wasn¡¯t this the work that became popr on the Inte some time ago and was known as the ¡°new era sci-fi ceiling¡±?!</i>

    <i>It was actually written by an eighteen-year-old girl?!?</i>

    The media andizens were shocked.

    [ F*ck? The genius girl was discovered by Zou Man?!! As Zou Man said, she gave a talent buried by the environment a chance to see the light of day. ]

    [I really like this series of short videos. Please continue. I never expected that the idol I had liked for so long was actually an eighteen-year-old girl. I have mixed feelings.]

    [ I really like your novel imagination and bold imagination. Indeed, there are benefits to being young. You let your imagination go. Your work is really good. All the best. I¡¯ll always support you. ]

    Zou Man had always been the focus of the domesticizens, and the sci-fi video that had be popr a while ago had left a good impression on people.

    Once Zou Man posted on Weibo, Liu Ling¡¯s fans soared that day and she instantly became an A-list Inte celebrity.

    Zou Man was also known as the beautiful and kind person, the living Bodhisattva who dug the genius girl out of the mud.

    Looking at the various praises on the Inte, Zou Man raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Kui smugly. ¡°See? I knew this method would work.¡±

    Jiang Kui snorted softly. ¡°It cost me nearly ten million. If it¡¯s still useless, I won¡¯t be able to report to Father.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s ten million?¡± Zou Man took a sip of red wine. ¡°Liu Ling can bring more than ten million.¡±

    In a high-end neighborhood in Beijing, Liu Ling, his parents, and younger brother were visiting their new house.

    ¡°Good daughter, your new boss is really good to you. She actually found you such a good house. It¡¯s too big. The renovation is really beautiful, like a pce.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother looked at the house happily.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Seeing that her mother was so happy, Liu Ling was very pleased. ¡°I¡¯m a genius writer that they fought to sign. Mom, didn¡¯t you see how quickly my Weibo fans increased? In less than a day, I already have more than a million fans.¡±

    ¡°Really?!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s father leaned over. ¡°I heard from Old Li that those with many fans sell things online and it¡¯s especially profitable. You have so many fans, can you sell them too?¡±

    The family did as they said and immediately searched for ways to earn money by selling goods. Arge number of small advertisements for attracting merchants appeared.

    ¡°Fifty million yuan in three months.¡±

    ¡°Happy Maserati in a month.¡±

    ¡°In just a year, she went from an abandoned single mother to a CEO with hundreds of billions of assets. I¡¯ll teach you the secret to wealth.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother immediately liked the third advertisement pushed by the browser and half-forced Liu Ling to contact others.

    The other party sold beauty medicine and rted drinks. When she heard that Liu Ling had so many fans, she immediately invited her enthusiastically. After a round of extravagant marketing, Liu Ling became the other party¡¯s agent.

    ¡°Mom.¡± Liu Ling had never done this before, so she was still a little flustered. ¡°What if something happens?¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°Let me ask you, is the paper Xia Wanyuan signed with youst time still there?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Liu Ling was a little puzzled. ¡°Why do you want that?¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother smiled smugly. ¡°That Xia Wanyuan chased us out. It¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s not a good person. Give me the contract. I have a way. When the timees, the money will be ours. If anything happens, the responsibility will be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.¡±

    Liu Ling did not know what her mother was keeping her in suspense, but there was a thorn in her heart about Xia Wanyuan not letting their family continue to stay in the presidential suite. Without hesitation, she took the contract signed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s handprint and handed it to her mother.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother took it and gave her husband a look. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a friend who specializes in this? I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s father grinned. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me. My good daughter, you¡¯re in charge of receivingrge amounts of goods. Hurry up and earn more money. Your mother and I are still waiting to live in the vi.¡±

 Chapter 1121 - CEO Junâ€™s Gift to Zou Man

    <h4>Chapter 1121: CEO Jun¡¯s Gift to Zou Man</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Liu Ling¡¯s overnight poprity caused countless media reporters to surround her.

    To the reporters, there were too many interesting news points about someone who walked out of the slums and became a million-dor Inte celebrity at the age of 18.

    By that night, Liu Ling had already received invitations from nearly twenty media outlets. In order to let her be more exposed and earn more money, Liu Ling¡¯s parents let her ept all the interviews.

    As a result, in just a night, there were overwhelming reports about Liu Ling, a genius author. As she had nevere into contact with television interviews, Liu Ling looked very inexperienced and did not even know where to look.

    She had a ponytail and was wearing clothes that had been washed and aged. She exined her creative process to the camera in confusion.

    Facing an unfamiliar environment, Liu Ling did not know where to look. She was so flustered that she was about to cry. Her voice was trembling.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother looked angry below. ¡°This disappointing thing is not generous at all. Why is she trembling?!¡±

    However, in the eyes of the audience, who were used to seeing the elites of the industry being eloquent, Liu Ling¡¯s performance had stabbed their hearts.

    Young, clean, and talented. This was the audience¡¯s impression of Liu Ling.

    [Amazing. She¡¯s 18 years old and has already earned a million yuan a month. My 18-year-old is still doing five years of college entrance examination simtions. This is probably the difference.]

    [I love this youngdy. I heard that her novel is going to be filmed into a movie. When are you going to film it? I¡¯ll prepare the money for the movie ticket.]

    [I realized a problem. The sci-fi short video on Little Missy¡¯s Weibo seems to have been posted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio. I heard that it was done by their studio? What¡¯s going on?]

    Theizens followed thements and entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio to take a look. The time showed that the short video was really released by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio first.

    <i>Could it be that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio was rted to Liu Ling??</i>

    In the broadcasting room, the person-in-charge received a notification from the backstage and smiled kindly at Liu Ling. ¡°Little sister, recently, there¡¯s a very famous movie star in the country who¡¯s preparing to film a sci-fi movie. Her name is Xia Wanyuan. Is your manuscript going to be a coboration with her?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, Liu Ling¡¯s eyes subconsciously revealed disgust. She looked up and saw her mother gesturing to her. She thought for a moment before saying, ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± The host had been trained in all sorts of people and guests. Seeing this situation, he knew that there was something fishy. ¡°But as far as we know, your sci-fi video was made by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio. Could it be that they vited the rules and used your copyright?¡±

    Liu Ling did not understand these twists and turns. She looked at her mother for help. Her mother did not seem to understand what the host meant.

    Liu Ling could only bite her lip and look at the camera. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±

    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s talk about something else.¡± The host gestured to the photographer and began the next recording.

    To the television station, Liu Ling¡¯s words were enough. After all, sometimes, holding back halfway was the most controversial.

    As the director had expected, before the television program ended, news about Xia Wanyuan and Liu Ling had already spread everywhere.

    Xia Wanyuan was at the national level of poprity. With her, Liu Ling quickly became a household name. Together with her work, she soared into the sky.

    After the filming ended, Liu Ling¡¯s mother smiled until her eyes could not be seen as she looked at the endless invitations and remuneration on her phone.

    ¡°Good daughter, we¡¯re going to be rich, haha! You did so well! Let¡¯s go and take a look at the house. We can also buy some pork ribs to stew with lotus roots. Your brother loves to eat this.¡±

    The smile on Liu Ling¡¯s face disappeared when she heard this. She looked at her mother in disappointment.

    She hated lotus roots the most. She had hated them since she was young.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you following?¡± Mother Liu frowned and looked at Liu Ling. ¡°Hurry up. Your brother will be leaving school soon. If you go backte, he won¡¯t be able to eat hot food.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Liu Ling lowered her head silently and followed her mother.

    The hospital.

    After Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left, they left Lu Li to take care of her.

    ¡°Sister Wei, drink some water.¡± Lu Li handed the cup to Wei Jin. Looking at Wei Jin¡¯s sickly but elegant face, she sighed in her heart.<i>?Xia Wanyuan was really amazing. Even her cousin was so good-looking.</i>

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Wei Jin whispered and smiled at Lu Li.

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Wei Jin¡¯s smile. ¡°Sister Wei, I¡¯ll get the list from the doctor after you drink the medicine.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Lu Li asked a bunch of questions in the doctor¡¯s office. She held a small notebook and remembered it especially seriously. On the way back to the ward, she was still looking for anything Wei Jin needed to avoid.

    Just as she walked to the corner, she happened to look up. She hurriedly put away her book and took a step back. She hid at the corner and secretly looked out.

    Not far away, Xuan Sheng was still dressed wantonly. There was a hint of fatigue in his exquisite eyes. He said a few words to the nurse, who handed him a pile of medicine.

    After taking the medicine, Xuan Sheng left the hospital. Lu Li nced at Xuan Sheng¡¯s back and walked to the nurse. ¡°Hello, Sister Nurse.¡±

    The nurse turned around and was sweetened by Lu Li¡¯s lively smile. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, little sister?¡±

    ¡°What illness did CEO Xuan have just now?¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes were filled with obvious worry. The nurse heard her call CEO Xuan and thought that this little sister should know Xuan Sheng, so she told Lu Li the truth. ¡°CEO Xuan¡¯s stomach illness has always been very serious. It seems to have worsened recently. He socializes a lot and his diet is irregr.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse saw Lu Li¡¯s worried expression and raised an eyebrow at her. ¡°Little sister, do you like CEO Xuan? All the best! I think highly of you!¡±

    Lu Li did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first. Nurse, you¡¯re busy.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Before the nurse left, she even gave Lu Li a thumbs up.

    ¡°¡­¡± Lu Li carried the book back to Wei Jin¡¯s ward helplessly.

    Wei Jin was already asleep. Lu Li thought of what the nurse had just said and was worried. She secretly sent a message to Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant, Xiao Liu.

    ¡°Brother Liu, can we discuss something?¡±

    Xiao Liu replied quickly, ¡°CEO Xuan has a social event tonight. It¡¯s at XX Hotel on XX Road. Do you want toe?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Lu Li¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened slightly.?<i>Was I that obvious??</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m not going. CEO Xuan doesn¡¯t like to see me. I just have something to ask of you¡­¡±

    ¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan only learned about Liu Ling from Chen Yun¡¯s angryints after getting off work.

    ¡°Wanyuan, this youngdy is so young. Why is she lying through her teeth? She was quite good when I first saw her. She wasn¡¯t so annoying.¡± Chen Yun had never liked Liu Ling because of the ingrate incidentst time, and this time, he almost fainted from anger.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped the book in her hand. ¡°The studio will rify this matter.¡±

    When she brought Liu Ling out back then, she had neglected something.

    That was that the influence of the original family on Liu Ling might be greater than all of them had imagined.

    Ever since Liu Ling was young, the deepest damage came from her family, but her only dependence also came from her family.

    Because shecked love, she would please her parents endlessly. If she had any results, she would want to find her presence in front of her parents.

    This was engraved in her bones. She could not change it. Although it was sad, it was the truth.

    Chen Yun could not care less about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s emotional thoughts. He was busy asking the studio to rify.

    Liu Ling¡¯s words were as if they had taken advantage of her and cheated her of her copyright.

    Just as theizens were discussing fervently, Wan Shi Studio posted on Weibo.

    ¡°Back then, when we worked with Miss Liu Ling, we signed a legal contract. The boss, Xia Wanyuan, empathized with Miss Liu Ling and transferred all the profits from the short video to Miss Liu Ling. The following are the contract and transfer records.¡±

    The photos behind clearly showed that the studio had legally bought Liu Ling¡¯s copyright.

    [Liu Ling is more or less a little ungrateful¡­ This contract use is really good to Liu Ling.]

    [Our Yuan Yuan worked hard to make a short video and gave all the profits to Liu Ling. Liu Ling actually has the cheek to show such a disgusted expression on the show? Aiyo, my bad temper is infuriating.]

    After the studio posted a rification post, many employees of the Beijing Hotel suddenly appeared on Weibo.

    ¡°Liu Ling was sponsored by Xia Wanyuan at the hotel back then. Xia Wanyuan booked a presidential suite for her. I¡¯ll show you how miserable the suite was when Liu Ling and her family left in the end. Just like this, when Liu Ling left, she even said that Xia Wanyuan did not treat her well and that Xia Wanyuan was petty.¡±

    The employees had sent all sorts of photos, but without exception, they looked very dirty. No one could imagine that this was actually the presidential suite of the famous Beijing Hotel.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were furious. They rushed to Liu Ling¡¯s Weibo to argue and realized that the genius writer Liu Ling had posted nearly two hundred posts in less than three days after registering her Weibo.

    The content of the post was all about selling goods.

    From beauty medicine to clothes and jewelry to stic surgery institutions, there was nothing she did not sell.

    Due to her high poprity in the past few days, there were really many people who bought her goods.

    Seeing those brand names that they had never heard of, the fans secretly remembered all the products Liu Ling sold. They had a feeling that this so-called ¡°genius writer¡± would fail because of these goods.

    Xia Wanyuan returned home and apanied Xiao Bao to do his homework. After dinner, Jun Shiling was still working overtime in thepany and did not go home.

    Even though they had only been separated for a short time, Xia Wanyuan still felt a little ufortable. She called Jun Shiling and it was quickly picked up.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling voice came. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely be back at ten to apany you.¡±

    ¡°What are you doing? Have you eaten?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded at Lin Jing. Lin Jing understood and walked out of the office. Only then did Jun Shiling turn the phone to video mode. ¡°Madam, you can check on me. I¡¯m the only one in the office. There are no other women or socializing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Who wants to check? Have you eaten?¡±

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment before nodding. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew him too well. With just half a second of hesitation, Xia Wanyuan could tell. ¡°I¡¯ll make supper at home and wait for you toe back.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart felt warm. ¡°Okay.¡±

    After chatting with Xia Wanyuan for a while, Jun Shiling hung up and gestured for Lin Jing toe in.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯ve already sent her to the Jiang family¡¯s vi,¡± Lin Jing said respectfully.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    At this moment, the Jiang family¡¯s vi was brightly lit. Zou Man was looking at the public opinion online smugly.

    ¡°Is this the solution you were talking about?¡± Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°She solved the problem with a casual rification.¡±

    Zou Man curled her lips. ¡°So what if she rifies? As long as Liu Ling is tied to Xia Wanyuan, her works will always be very popr. How can this make less money?¡±

    To many filmpanies in the entertainment industry, no one cared about the character of the author or the quality of the work. As long as there was poprity, it could be sold for a sky-high price.

    Jiang Kui paused in his actions of holding the cigarette. Zou Man¡¯s words made sense. Just as he was about to ask again, the butler suddenly stood at the door and waved at him with a troubled expression.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re stammering.¡± Jiang Kui was annoyed and could not be bothered to go over.

    Sensing Zou Man¡¯s gaze, the butler sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to find an excuse to fool him, a small figure had already passed him and rushed straight to Jiang Kui, hugging his leg. ¡°Daddy.¡±

    This crisp ¡°Daddy¡± stunned everyone in the living room.

    Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°Who¡¯s your father?¡±

    ¡°You.¡± The child¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. He looked at Jiang Kui and pointed outside the door. ¡°Daddy, Mommy is here too. Our family can be together happily.¡±

    Outside the door, a gentle and quiet figure walked in. It was an extremely beautiful woman with a Jiangnan aura. The corners of the beauty¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and she looked like jade under the light. ¡°Hello, CEO Jiang. I¡¯m Xie Tanyu.¡±

    Zou Man, who was still leisurely looking at her phone, sat up and stared at the child in front of Jiang Kui. ¡°Who is he?¡±

    The quiet beauty walked over and the child smiled at her with curved eyes. The beauty held the child¡¯s hand and sat beside Jiang Kui. She nodded at Zou Man. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the mother of CEO Jiang¡¯s child.¡±

    ¡°Jiang Kui! Exin yourself!¡± Zou Man looked at Jiang Kui in disbelief, wanting to find a negative answer on his face, but she clearly saw a hint of panic on Jiang Kui¡¯s face.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s heart was in a mess. He looked at Xie Tanyu beside him. He wanted to deny it, but hecked confidence.

    The longer he was silent, the angrier Zou Man became.

    The living room fell into a strange silence. After some time, Zou Man suddenly groaned in pain and held her stomach. Jiang Kui hurriedly walked over. ¡°Are you okay? I¡¯ll send you to the hospital.¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s face was covered in sweat from the pain. She cowered in Jiang Kui¡¯s arms and allowed him to carry her out.

    Jiang Kui carried Zou Man for a few steps before suddenly stopping. He nced at Xie Tanyu. ¡°Follow me too.¡±

    As he had a son for no reason, he had to check if he was his biological son.

    In Beijing Hospital, Shen Xiu was wearing a white coat. After carefully checking Zou Man¡¯s condition, he walked to Jiang Kui and said, ¡°Your wife is just a little angry. She¡¯ll be fine after a rest. Don¡¯t agitate her.¡±

    Zou Man, who had just taken the medicine, still felt a faint pain in her stomach. She looked at Shen Xiu distrustfully. ¡°Hubby, it still hurts very much. Get another expert for me. I don¡¯t want this.¡±

    <i>This Doctor Shen was so young, how could he treat a good illness? Could it be that Jiang Kui was even perfunctory when he found a doctor for me? He found such a half-baked young man to deal with me.</i>

    Hearing Zou Man¡¯s words, Jiang Kui frowned and scolded, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about! Take good care of your baby!¡±

    Although Shen Xiu was young, he was an internationally famous ¡°top knife¡±. His medical skills could be said to be top-notch in Beijing Hospital.

    Although doctors had no power or influence, which one of those with powers did not have a serious illness? Even he did not dare to provoke Shen Xiu casually, yet Zou Man actually mocked Shen Xiu like this.

    Jiang Kui looked at Shen Xiu. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Doctor Shen. Please forgive me.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s our duty as doctors to treat and save people.¡± Shen Xiu¡¯s smile did not change.

    Zou Man rolled her eyes and touched her stomach. ¡°Hubby, I want to drink water.¡±

    Jiang Kui was impatient, but he could not re up in front of outsiders. He endured his anger and poured water for Zou Man. Taking this opportunity, Shen Xiu left the ward.

    Just as she walked out, the nurse came over with a report in her hand. ¡°Doctor Shen, the results of CEO Jiang and that child¡¯s appraisal are out.¡±

    Shen Xiu took the report and flipped through it. When he saw the data on the evaluation report, a dark glint shed across his eyes.

    In just a second, Shen Xiu handed the appraisal report back with his usual elegant smile. ¡°Coincidentally, CEO Jiang is inside. Send the appraisal report in.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The nurse nodded and walked in with the report.

    In the ward, Zou Man relied on the fact that she was pregnant and instructed Jiang Kui to pour water for her and peel the fruit. Just as she was feeling smug, a nurse suddenly walked in.

    Seeing the document in her hand, Zou Man subconsciously panicked. ¡°What are you holding? Show me.¡±

    The nurse looked at Jiang Kui in embarrassment. ording to the usual practice, the paternity test could only be shown to the person involved.

    Jiang Kui stood up and was about to take the report when Zou Man was faster than him. She walked out of bed in two to three steps, snatched the report, and opened it anxiously. Zou Man felt her palm turn cold.

    It disyed, ¡°The uracy of the paternity test has reached 99.99%.¡±

    That child was definitely Jiang Kui¡¯s child.

    ]¡±Why are you snatching it?¡± Jiang Kui frowned and stepped forward to look at the report. Zou Man turned around unexpectedly and threw the report at Jiang Kui¡¯s face, causing him to gasp.

    ¡°Zou Man, are you crazy?! Aren¡¯t I giving you too much face?!¡± Jiang Kui was the young master of the Jiang family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. When had he ever been treated like this? He was immediately furious. He shook off the report on his face and pped Zou Man to the side.

    The nurse was shocked and hurriedly went forward to support Zou Man.

    ¡°Then exin to me, what¡¯s with this child?¡± Zou Man did not care about the burning pain on her face. Her heart was burning with anger. She had always thought that Jiang Kui did not like beauty. Who would have thought that he would suddenly give her such a heavy blow and directly have an illegitimate child?

    ¡°So what if he¡¯s my child?¡± Jiang Kui waspletely furious. He touched the wound that Zou Man had smashed. ¡°Don¡¯t forget how you got the position of the wife of the Jiang family. Do you really think you¡¯re something? You¡¯re used to being domineering and don¡¯t know your surname, right? You¡¯re on your own!¡±

    With that, Jiang Kui strode out of the ward without even looking at Zou Man. He waspletely cold and heartless.

    The nurse, who had been forced to listen to an entire rich family¡¯s secret, trembled. Looking at Zou Man, who looked extremely glorious but was actually in a sorry state, the nurse felt that she was a little pitiful. ¡°Madam Jiang, why don¡¯t I help you to the bed to rest for a while?¡±

    However, Zou Man did not appreciate it. At this moment, the ¡°Madam Jiang¡± that the nurse mentioned made her feel extremely ear-piercing. It was as if she was mocking her, mocking her for giving up everything for the title of Madam Jiang. In the end, it was all for nothing.

    Zou Man pulled her arm out of the nurse¡¯s hand with a cold expression. ¡°Get out.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The young nurse, who had been sympathizing with Zou Man just now, secretly spat in her heart. She pursed her lips and walked out of the ward.

    <i>The pitiful must have something to hate. The ancients did not lie to me.</i>

    Zou Man held her stomach as tears welled up in her eyes. She had followed Jiang Kui for so many years, it was impossible to say that she had no feelings.

    Although she and Jiang Kui had been arguing recently, she knew in her heart that she still relied on Jiang Kui.

    However, the appearance of this third party and illegitimate son made Zou Man inexplicably feel that everything she had done in the past was a joke. To think that she thought that Jiang Kui was a rare second-generation heir of a wealthy family who did not like women. She did not expect him to be the same as the others.

    <i>Then what am I??</i>

    Zou Man was crying silently when the sound of high heels hitting the ground suddenly came from the door. Zou Man looked up and saw that it was the person she did not want to see the most.

    Liu Tanyu.

    Zou Man did not want her to see her like this. She forced her tears back, stood up, and walked to the bed to sit down. ¡°Get out.¡±

    Liu Tanyu spoke with the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman. Every word was like a soft hook. ¡°Sister, I¡¯m here to see how your body is. My culinary skills are not bad. If you want to eat anything, I can bring it to you.¡±

    ¡°Who wants what you made?¡± Zou Man looked at Liu Tanyu coldly. ¡°Who are you pretending to be virtuous and gentle for? Who¡¯s your sister? Are you shameless as a mistress?¡±

    Liu Tanyu¡¯s expression did not change and she still had a gentle smile on her face. Zou Man was furious. ¡°Sister, you must be joking. If you don¡¯t like me calling you Sister, why don¡¯t I call you younger sister?¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Zou Man wanted to tear Liu Tanyu¡¯s face apart. ¡°Get lost, get lost with your bastard.¡±

    Hearing Zou Man insult her child, Liu Tanyu¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of sharpness, but the smile on her face remained. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister. Father likes our Xiao Yu very much. Xiao Yu has already lived in the Jiang family. He can¡¯t leave me. I have to rush back and take care of him. See you tomorrow.¡±

    With that, Liu Tanyu stood up and prepared to leave. Her slender waist looked even more like a willow under the cheongsam.

    Zou Man took a while to understand who Liu Tanyu was referring to. Her expression changed drastically. ¡°Stop right there! What do you mean?! Who¡¯s your father?¡±

    Liu Tanyu stopped and turned around slightly. The light slid across her tall nose. ¡°Xiao Yu calls Jiang Kui Daddy, so I naturally have to call the elders like Jiang Kui.¡±

    Liu Tan spoke slowly and softly, but every word she said hit Zou Man¡¯s heart. Zou Man felt dizzy.

    After Liu Tanyu finished speaking, she walked straight forward and left the ward. Zou Man felt an overwhelming anger in her heart, but she could not vent it.

    In the end, she reached out and pushed the pile of medicine bottles on the cab to the ground. The ss bottles exploded on the ground, sounding especially ear-piercing in the quiet night.

    In front of the ward, Shen Xiu had his hands in his pockets as he quietly looked at everything inside, but he had no intention of entering. After a while, he took out his phone and made a call.

    In the ward, Zou Man ignored the cold on the ground and sat for a long time with her hair disheveled. No one knew what she was thinking. When the moon was high in the sky, Zou Man finally looked up with a determined expression.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was already veryte at night. When Jun Shiling returned to the manor, it was almost midnight. The servants had already gone to rest, and only the lights in the living room were still on in the main building.

    Jun Shiling got out of the car and strode in.

    There was no one in the living room, but there was a fire in the firece. The air was filled with a rich fragrance that chased away the winter cold.

    Jun Shiling took off his suit jacket and walked in.

    In the kitchen, Xia Wanyuan was busy at the stove. She was wearing a light-colored apron, and her hair was tied behind her head. A few strands fell on her temples, adding a hint of poetic gentleness. Her exquisite facial features looked even more refined under the light.

    The bone soup gurgled. Xia Wanyuan picked up the spoon and tasted it. It seemed a little nd.

    She reached for the salt jar and was caught off guard by someone hugging her from behind. She was subconsciously on guard, but her body¡¯s natural reaction had already rxed.

    The cold pine fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose. A kissnded by her ear, burning Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and pecked her neck.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little itchy and shrank forward. ¡°Stop fooling around. The soup seems a little nd. I¡¯ll add some salt.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not stop. He even hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and made her turn around. Their foreheads touched, and Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes shone with a scorching light. ¡°Let me try it.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling¡¯s lips covered hers.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan took advantage of the gap. ¡°Stop fooling around. The soup is about to dry up.¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder and reached out to turn off the fire, then picked her up. ¡°I don¡¯t want to drink soup. I just want to eat something else now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan blew at him angrily. ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired? You worked overtime for so long and still have the heart to think about this.¡±

    Jun Shiling strode upstairs. ¡°Help me undo my tie.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan would never know how attractive she was when she was gentle.

    When he returned home on a cold winter night, there was someone warming soup for him. No one could resist this calm happiness after experiencing a thousand sails.

    One nce at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile was enough to make Jun Shiling¡¯s heart surge.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was helpless, she could sense Jun Shiling¡¯s excitement. She nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and allowed him to hug her. She ced her hands on Jun Shiling¡¯s tie and slowly untied it.

    Jun Shiling walked too quickly and had already entered the bedroom. Jun Shiling¡¯s tie had not even been removed when he ced Xia Wanyuan under the nket. He reached out and pulled the tie off.

    Then, he tied Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Jun Shiling!¡± Xia Wanyuan really could not stand his strange new tricks.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was abnormally low. He pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and ced it on his waist. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to cook for me next time.¡±

    ¡°?? Don¡¯t you like it very much?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion.

    Every time she cooked for Jun Shiling, he liked to eat it very much, the kind where not a single drop was left.

    Jun Shiling kissed the corner of her eye. ¡°Cooking for me is seducing me.¡±

    ¡°???¡± Xia Wanyuan had never been a violent person, but at this moment, she really wanted to beat Jun Shiling up. ¡°You¡¯re just looking for an excuse.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°I really didn¡¯t this time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but her words shattered.

    In the end, Jun Shiling did not drink much of the soup in the kitchen. Instead, it all entered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Drink more to replenish your strength.¡± Jun Shiling, who had eaten and drunk his fill in a certain aspect, was beaming as he patiently helped Xia Wanyuan drink the soup.

    Xia Wanyuan was too tired to argue with him.<i>?Forget it, whatever he said was right.</i>

    After drinking the soup, Xia Wanyuan leanedzily on Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling reached out and touched her stomach. ¡°Your period has been dyed for a day this month. Is my daughter here?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless. ¡°It¡¯s just a day. It¡¯s normal for your period to be staggered for a week. What are you thinking?¡±

    Jun Shiling slowly stroked her as if Xia Wanyuan really had a little love crystal that belonged to them in her stomach. ¡°I want to have a daughter.¡±

    ¡°Give birth yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan was extremely tired.

    Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°No, I just want you to give birth.¡±

    He wanted a daughter that belonged to the two of them from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body, preferably one that looked very simr to her.

    <i>She must be cute and beautiful. Even if it was the stars in the sky, I would help her pluck them.?</i>

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes. ¡°With a daughter, your love for me will be distributed away.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words stunned Jun Shiling. He seemed to think very carefully before replying, ¡°No, if you¡¯re worried, then we don¡¯t want a daughter anymore. You¡¯re the most important.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling added as if to emphasize, ¡°No one is more important than you.¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I was joking with you.¡±

    After all, from the first day she met Jun Shiling, she had never doubted his feelings for her.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Zou Man stayed in the hospital alone for the entire night. When the sky lit up, she got someone to send her back to the Jiang family¡¯s vi.

    The usually quiet vi was very lively today. Before she entered, she heard theughter of a child in the courtyard.

    Zou Man clenched her fists. However, the scene when she entered still pierced her.

    In the courtyard, Jiang Kui and Jiang Ting were ying with the child. Liu Tanyu stood at the side. The four of them were chatting andughing, looking abnormally harmonious.

    They were like a real family.

    Liu Tanyu was the first to notice Zou Man at the door. She raised an eyebrow at Zou Man. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re back.¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s your sister?¡± Zou Man clenched her fists and her gazended on Jiang Kui. Seeing that he was carrying the child and did not notice her at all, she was furious.

    ¡°Zou Man, you¡¯re back. Rest well.¡± Jiang Ting had never liked Zou Man. Now that he had a living grandson by his side, he looked down on her even more.

    With that, Jiang Ting waved the toy in his hand in front of the child. ¡°Xiao Yu, what else do you like? Grandpa will buy it for you.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Yu likes Grandpa the most!! You don¡¯t have to buy it.¡±

    The child¡¯s words made Jiang Ting smile. ¡°Aiyo, my good grandson is so sensible. Grandpa will give you a car, okay? It¡¯s a limited edition. I¡¯ll let you y with it.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, I don¡¯t know how to drive.¡± Xiao Yu wheedled to Jiang Ting.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Doesn¡¯t your mother know how to drive? Let your mother drive you.¡± The more Jiang Ting looked at this child, the more he liked him.

    ¡°Mommy is ady. Mommy doesn¡¯t know how to drive. Grandpa, can I let Daddy drive me and Mommy out to y?¡± Xiao Yu pulled Jiang Kui with one hand and Liu Tanyu with the other.

    ¡°Of course!¡± Jiang Tingughed out loud. ¡°You smart child.¡±

    Zou Man finally could not stand it anymore. She gritted her teeth and walked into the building hatefully.

    Soon, the sound of something shattering came from the bedroom. The servants secretly stood at the door and looked around. They saw Zou Man throwing things to the ground crazily.

    ¡°Tsk tsk, our family is going to be in chaos this time.¡±

    ¡°That Miss Liu looks soft and weak, but she can actually force Madam to this extent. It¡¯s really amazing. Do you think our mistress will be Miss Liu?¡±

    ¡°Why do you care so much? Anyway, as servants, we just have to do things well. Quick, quick, quick. Madam fell, quickly go in and take care of her.¡±

    The servants swarmed into the bedroom. Zou Man sat on the ground, picked up the vase beside her, and threw it at the servants. ¡°Get lost!¡±

    The servants hurriedly retreated, leaving Zou Man alone in the bedroom. She looked up and saw the wedding photo hanging on the wall not far away. A mocking expression appeared on her face.

    <i>Who in the Jiang family would still treat me as their Madam??</i>

    Zou Man¡¯s life was a mess. She hadpletely cut off from the outside world. Liu Ling could not contact her at all.

    ¡°Have you gotten through to her? What¡¯s going on? Is that person lying to you? You wretched girl, why are you so stupid!¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother pped Liu Ling¡¯s head angrily.

    Liu Ling called Zou Man repeatedly, but her phone was switched off.

    ¡°Wretched girl, the house I bought for your brother needs to be paid tomorrow. If you don¡¯t get the money today, I¡¯ll beat you to death today!¡± Hearing the notification that the phone had been switched off repeatedly, Liu Ling¡¯s mother was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t get the money, so she vented her anger on Liu Ling.

    ¡°Mom, Brother is still young. Can¡¯t we talk about buying a houseter?¡± Seeing her parents¡¯ disappointed gazes, Liu Ling was sad.?<i>I had already worked very hard, but why did my parents still only have eyes for my brother?</i>

    ¡°What young? Your brother is already in primary school. Time passes so quickly. If you don¡¯t buy it now, what if the price increases in the future? He still has to marry and have children. How about this? Didn¡¯t many people send you private messages yesterday to help sell the goods? Open a live broadcast and sell as many as you can. I¡¯ll help you sell them and earn more money.¡±

    ¡°But, Mom, many of them are not safe.¡± Liu Ling had studied before and knew that some things could not be sold blindly.

    However, Liu Ling¡¯s mother could not care less now. She suddenly pulled Liu Ling¡¯s hair. ¡°Shut up, you useless thing. What are you writing now? The directors don¡¯t like it anymore. If I had known earlier, I would have let you marry CEO Liu back then.¡±

    Liu Ling lowered her head, her tears falling to the ground.

    Her resistance was useless. Her parents forced her to start a live-stream.

    The name of the live-stream was ¡°Chat about your love and hatred with Xia Wanyuan¡±.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity in China was too high. In addition to Liu Ling¡¯s reputation as a ¡°genius writer¡±, the live broadcast attracted arge number of viewers.

    [ I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here. What love and hate? Was that video done by Xia Wanyuan? Why did you fall outter? Can you tell us? I¡¯ll send gifts. ]

    When Liu Ling¡¯s mother saw that the audience said that they would send gifts, she was instantly excited. ¡°It was indeed done by Xia Wanyuan, but she¡¯s a big liar. Do you want to hear how she lies? Come, follow me to see a product first. Look at this health supplement. Let me tell you, drinking it can treat all kinds of illnesses¡­¡±

    There were too many viewers in the live-stream, and Liu Ling¡¯s mother was really good at marketing. In a while, she sold arge number of products. Under the urging of the audience, she finally began to talk about how Xia Wanyuan had deceived Liu Ling¡¯s script.

    ¡°¡­ Anyway, that¡¯s it. Let me tell you, a rich person like Xia Wanyuan is really annoying. If not for her, we wouldn¡¯t have been chased out at all. She still wants to take our manuscripts for nothing. Pui!! She¡¯s shameless¡­¡±

    As Liu Ling¡¯s mother spoke, she could not hide her personal emotions. All sorts of hometown-style curses came out.

    At this moment, the audience was stunned.

    [What the f*ck? Do you know how much 10% of the profits is?!! If anyone gave me such a good condition, I could kneel down and call her Daddy. You actually said that Xia Wanyuan got something for nothing. You¡¯re crazy!]

    [ Ugh, I¡¯m going to vomit. The presidential suite at the Beijing Hotel costs tens of thousands a day. Xia Wanyuan is kind enough to let you stay for a few days, but you actually think she won¡¯t let you stay forever. I¡¯m going to vomit. You ingrate. ]

    [ Now, I finally understand the ins and outs of this matter. I just want to say that the great beauty Xia Wanyuan is so pitiful to be pestered by such an ingrate. ]

    As Liu Ling¡¯s mother spoke, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. The live-stream was in chaos, and there were even arge number of people reporting the live-stream. Anyway, the goods had almost been sold, so she turned off the live-stream.

    Thinking of theizens¡¯ments just now, Liu Ling¡¯s mother was a little puzzled. ¡°Do you think what they said is true? Is the condition Xia Wanyuan offered really good?¡±

    ¡°Mom, I went to ask others. They all said that ten percent of the profits is already especially much. If the movie sells well, it¡¯s possible to earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions.¡±

    When Liu Ling said this, Liu Ling¡¯s mother was stunned. When she reacted, she pped Liu Ling. ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Xia Wanyuan!¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    In the manor, Xiao Bao was ying happily with the cat downstairs. The photographer wanted to cry but had no tears.

    Although the little kid was very cute, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had to show their faces at least. This variety show should be changed to ¡°Life as You Want¡±.

    It was almost lunchtime, but there was still no movement in the bedroom upstairs. The photographer asked the director hesitantly, ¡°Should we go up and ask about the situation?¡±

    Before the director could answer, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re too much.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The photography uncles¡¯ hearts broke when they were suddenly criticized by the little cutie.?<i>What did we do? Why does the little cutie hate us?</i>

    ¡°Uncle Bo Xiao said that we must give Daddy and Mommy some privacy. Only then will they give birth to a beautiful sister for me. Don¡¯t disturb them.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± They did not expect the little cutie to say this. The middle-aged men blushed.

    [Hahahahaha, if not for the little cutie¡¯s innocent expression, I would definitely think that he was driving.]

    [Bo Xiaoe out to be beaten. You¡¯ve led our little cutie astray!!]

    [What did Xiao Bao say? Actually, we all understand. Speaking of which, CEO Jun is too unrestrained. Can Xia Wanyuan stand being tortured like this every day? Why don¡¯t you let me do it for her? My body is solid. I can do it.]

    [ The person in front, stop being coquettish. Aren¡¯t you afraid that CEO Jun will seal your ount overnight when he sees yourments? The night with Xia Wanyuan is short and the hatred with you is deep. ]

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was woken up by the sunlight outside the window. Her eyes were half-closed and there was a hint of fatigue in them. She subconsciously leaned closer to Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her.

    Xia Wanyuan said softly, ¡°Annoying.¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°You hate me?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan said that she hated him, but her body still moved closer to Jun Shiling.

    At that moment, the phone rang. Jun Shiling reached out to take it and ced it by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Liu Ling¡¯s voice came with a fawning tone. ¡°I agree to sign the contract with you. Let¡¯s go ording to the original agreement, okay? I¡¯ve let you down in the past. I¡¯m young and insensible. Can you be magnanimous and not argue with me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned and did not open her eyes. She replied calmly, ¡°You¡¯re on your own. Don¡¯t call again.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xia, don¡¯t be like this. Are you still angry with me? How about this? I¡¯ll apologize to you.¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer, Liu Ling panicked.

    However, just as she finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    ¡°How is it?¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother leaned over anxiously. ¡°What did Xia Wanyuan say? Can you continue to sign the contract?¡±

    ¡°She hung up on me. She said that I¡¯m on my own.¡± Liu Ling pursed her lips. She did not have much hope at first.?<i>Back then, we were the ones who did not want to sign the contract with Xia Wanyuan first. Now that we wanted to go back, how could there be such a good thing?</i>

    ¡°What is this?¡± Liu Ling¡¯s mother rolled her eyes. ¡°Ignore her. The goods soldst night were not bad. Let¡¯s continue today.¡±

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was no longer sleepy after this call. She nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and thought about something.

    ¡°The consequences are their own choice. You don¡¯t have to pay for their mistake.¡± Seeing through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, Jun Shilingforted her.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and looked at Jun Shiling, who was close by. Seeing that his eyes were picturesque, her mood inexplicably improved. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so good-looking.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and scratched her nose. ¡°Little beauty lover.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled too, her eyes curved up.

    At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Uncle Wang was outside. ¡°Young Master, Madam, Young Master Bo Xiao and Miss An Rao are here.¡±

    In the live-stream, everyone was looking at the two cute things, Xiao Bao and the cat. The scene suddenly changed, and then two figures that they had not seen in a long time appeared in the camera.

    An Rao¡¯s stomach was already very big, but her facial features were still as bright as ever. There was no difference. Beside An Rao, Bo Xiao was as handsome as ever, butpared to before, the light in his eyes seemed to have dimmed a little, and his figure was even thinner than before. He was carefully protecting An Rao.

    Ever since thest incident, Bo Xiao had disappeared from the public eye for a long time. Countless people wanted to apologize to Bo Xiao, but he had not appeared on Weibo for a long time. It was as if he hadpletely left social media.

    Now that they saw Bo Xiao, everyone had mixed feelings. All sorts of emotions surged into their hearts, most of which was guilt.

    [Ahhh, Bo Xiao and An Rao have finally appeared. Long time no see!!]

    [Boohoo, I finally saw Bo Xiao. I¡¯m sorry for misunderstanding you in the past. I¡¯m really sorry.]

    [ Ahhh, I finally see you again. I¡¯m going to cry. After so many storms, I¡¯m satisfied to see that you¡¯re still fine together. ]

    Because of Bo Xiao¡¯s appearance, thements in the live-stream began to increase crazily, and the number of people kept increasing.

    ¡°Auntie An Rao!¡± Seeing An Rao, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up. He was about to rush over when he saw An Rao¡¯s stomach. He first picked up the cat and locked it in the cage, then carefully walked to An Rao and kissed her. ¡°Auntie An Rao, I miss you so much.¡±

    An Rao sat on the sofa with Bo Xiao¡¯s help and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Auntie misses you too. Where are your parents?¡±

    Xiao Bao looked a little shy. ¡°They¡¯re making me a little sister.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s saliva was stuck in her throat. She turned around and red at Bo Xiao. ¡°You taught the little cutie bad things again!¡±

    Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth.¡±

    At that moment, the bedroom door upstairs opened. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked out. An Rao waved happily at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked down and looked at An Rao¡¯s stomach. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nodded.

    ¡°Coincidentally, you¡¯re here. I¡¯ll get someone to send the wedding dress over. Try it first. If it¡¯s not suitable, you can change it.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay!¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes sparkled.?<i>Wow, Yuan Yuan¡¯s wedding dress must be super beautiful!</i>

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, thements in the live-stream exploded.

    <i>Wedding dress?! An Rao was getting married?!?</i>

    <i>No, they had already announced that they had their marriage certificate. An Rao and Bo Xiao were going to hold a wedding?!</i>

    So many things had happened in the past year. When they suddenly learned that the two of them were going to hold a wedding, everyone was filled with anticipation. Everyone loved to see lovers seed.

    Furthermore, the main characters were An Rao and Bo Xiao, and the wedding dress was personally designed by Xia Wanyuan. No one dared to imagine how beautiful the wedding would be.

    An Rao had not seen Xia Wanyuan in a long time and had been pestering her to chat. Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao and turned to walk to the study. Bo Xiao followed him upstairs.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Jun Shiling poured a ss of water for Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Mm, thank you.¡± Bo Xiao looked into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes with a grateful smile.

    He knew that Jun Shiling had always mediated his matters.

    Even though the officials had already given the final conclusion, there were still many people who questioned it. If not for Jun Shiling suppressing it, he would not have been able to live so leisurely during this period of time.

    ¡°Why have you suddenly be so distant?¡± Jun Shiling sat opposite Bo Xiao. ¡°I received your retirement application, but I suppressed it.¡±

    Bo Xiao lowered his eyes. ¡°Why must you do this? I¡¯ve indeed made up my mind. An Rao and the child need me. I won¡¯t enter the army again.¡±

    The light of faith was indeed very dazzling, but the road to faith was filled with thorns. He seemed to be unable to reach the end of the road.

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll put your application with me first. If you really decide, I¡¯ll personally approve your application.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked up. ¡°Okay, how is it? I¡¯ve been busy taking care of An Rao recently. How¡¯s K?¡±

    Speaking of this, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned serious. He shook his head. ¡°Not good. ording to the news I received, he has begun to cooperate closely with pharmaceuticalpanies worldwide.¡±

    ¡°Pharmaceuticalpanies?¡± Puzzlement shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of K stepping into the medical industry in the past. Isn¡¯t he in the harmful industry?¡±

    Speaking of this, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression became even more serious. ¡°Who said that the medical industry can only save people?¡±

    The medical industry was an industry that controlled the stages of life and death. While it could save thousands of lives, it could also destroy everything in an instant.

    As soon as Jun Shiling finished speaking, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes trembled. If K was not doing this for the profits of the medicine, then there must be a hidden motive behind his frequent contact with the medical industry.

    ¡°So, you still insist on retiring?¡± Jun Shiling looked straight at Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao hesitated for a few seconds before nodding hesitantly. ¡°Just treat me as a coward.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Jun Shiling did not continue. ¡°Come, let¡¯s y chess.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    At this moment, in theboratory in Continent F, Yu Qian was wearing gold-rimmed sses and a long white coat. He was focused on the petri dish not far away. Looking at the viruses squirming under the high-power sses, a cold glint shed across Yu Qian¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you think they¡¯re beautiful?¡±

    Jayce had also walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Broken limbs did not affect him at all.

    However, at this moment, looking at the colorful viruses under the observation mirror, he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

    These things could not be observed with the naked eye. Only under a high-power mirror could one see them baring their fangs and brandishing their ws. Jayce had never seen what the demons in hell looked like, but he thought that if the demons were alive, they would probably look simr to the pile of viruses in front of him.

    ¡°Boss, what are these things called?¡±

    Yu Qian took off his gloves and reached out to touch these colorful things. ¡°There¡¯s no name, but it¡¯s so beautiful. I should use a beautiful name. Why don¡¯t I call it X?¡±

    X, infinite possibilities.

    ¡°Then are you going to use these on Young Master Wei?¡± Jayce asked carefully, his eyes shing with hidden joy.

    He really hated Wei Zimu. Just because he was Yu Qian¡¯s brother, he put on all sorts of expressions, as if someone owed him something. If only Yu Qian could let Wei Zimu die this time. They could only tolerate people who were loyal to Yu Qian and not people like Wei Zimu.

    Yu Qian turned around and his cold gazended on Jayce. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll remind you onest time.

    Wei Zimu is my brother. Here, I¡¯m first and he¡¯s second. Other than me, no one can touch him.¡±

    Jayce¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°Where is he?¡± Yu Qian turned around. The light cast a gentle glow on his handsome facial features.

    ¡°Young Master Wei has just been injected with the antidote. He¡¯s resting now,¡± Jayce replied respectfully.

    Yu Qian took off his white coat, revealing an exquisite high-end suit. He turned around and went to the cultivation room.

    He had a handsome face and a gentle temperament. Anyone who saw him would praise him for being a gentleman. However, he walked through the corridor filled with desperate cries for help step by step, ignoring the painful experimental subjects around him, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

    Yu Qian stopped outside a ss room at the end.

    Inside was Wei Zimu, who looked the same as him. At that moment, Wei Zimu¡¯s face was pale. Other than that, he looked quite calm.

    It was unimaginable that just ten minutes ago, he was still tortured by the pain in his body. Only the traces of his struggle could be seen on the ss cover.

    Seeing Yu Qian walk over, Wei Zimu sighed slightly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Jayce went forward to open the door. Yu Qian walked in and squatted in front of Wei Zimu. He looked at him seriously for a while. ¡°Brother, does it hurt?¡±

    Wei Zimu nodded slightly.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I feel the pain too. This is the first experiment I epted when I was five years old when I was first brought here.¡±

    As soon as Yu Qian finished speaking, Wei Zimu was stunned. He looked at Yu Qian in a daze, and his eyes instantly turned red.

    Wei Zimu thought of Yu Qian when he was young. At that time, he was used to being pampered. He even needed the entire family to coax him when he caught a cold and had an injection. They gave him candies and toys, and after the injection, he would still bawl.

    Wei Zimu could not imagine how that small child had survived such an inhumane experiment.

    ¡°Brother.¡± The corners of Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. This was the first time Wei Zimu had called him brother since they had met.

    Yu Qian smiled. The warmth in his eyes did not reach his eyes. ¡°Aiya, Brother, what¡¯s the use of ate apology? How did I get through back then? You should suffer too. If you can pass all the tests.¡±

    At this point, Yu Qian pointed outside. ¡°Do you see that? I share everything with you. You¡¯re the second king of the underground world. However, if you can¡¯t break through, that¡¯s a pity. I can only prepare a good coffin for you.¡±

    Wei Zimu lowered his head and bit his lip tightly. His eyes were filled with painful tears that kept dripping to the ground.

    Yu Qian lifted Wei Zimu¡¯s chin and wiped his tears with his suit sleeve. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, Brother. The show has just begun.¡±

    However, Wei Zimu¡¯s tears kept flowing out like tap water without a valve, staining Yu Qian¡¯s sleeves.

    Jayce watched from afar with a frown.

    Everyone here knew that Yu Qian was famous for being a clean freak. He rejected all contact.

    He thought that Yu Qian had imprisoned Wei Zimu here and tortured him because of hatred, but now that he saw that Yu Qian was actually willing to touch Wei Zimu, he had no choice but to reevaluate Wei Zimu¡¯s status and weight in Yu Qian.

    Thinking of how he had once been disrespectful to Wei Zimu, Jayce¡¯s heart turned cold. He suddenly realized that he might have brushed past death.

    In the ss room, Wei Zimu had been crying. Yu Qian had been patiently wiping Wei Zimu¡¯s tears. In the end, the drug in Wei Zimu¡¯s body took effect and he fell asleep. Only then did Yu Qian walk out of the room.

    ¡°Get him some of his favorite Chinese food.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll prepare it immediately.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor, it was almost time for lunch. Xiu Yi sent over the wedding dress and groom¡¯s clothes that had been prepared and used two huge boxes.

    An Rao leaned over and secretly nced through the gap. She was almost blinded by the flowing light inside. She straightened her back and her eyes sparkled. ¡°Ahhh, Yuan Yuan, I see the clothes inside are so shiny. I want to try it now!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the box beside her. ¡°That¡¯s Bo Xiao¡¯s. Bo Xiao, go and try it too.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan brought An Rao to the manor¡¯s cloakroom. As the wedding dress wasplicated, a group of maids followed behind to serve her.

    The audience in the live-stream were also looking forward to it.

    [This is the world of the rich. There¡¯s no need to change outside. The cloakroom at home isplete.]

    [ I also want to have a best friend like Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying. With Xia Wanyuan helping to design a wedding dress or something, I can only say that it has a good meaning and a beautiful style. There¡¯s nothing Xia Wanyuan designed that I don¡¯t like. ]

    [I¡¯m so looking forward to it. Looking at An Rao¡¯s expression just now, the clothes must be very beautiful!! Howl, even if I can¡¯t wear it, it¡¯s good to let me have a look.]

    In the cloakroom, not only were there people who dressed An Rao, but in order to maximize the visual effect, there was also a professional styling team who helped An Rao put on makeup and design her hair.

    In the living room, Bo Xiao had long changed his clothes. He was wearing a ck suit sprinkled with gold, a bow tie around his neck, and a colorful brooch on his chest.

    It was clearly an extremely simple design, but the good cut made his figure even taller,plementing his handsome face.

    Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling sat in the living room for nearly an hour, but no one came out of the cloakroom upstairs. Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Why is it so troublesome for a woman to wear clothes?¡±

    Jun Shiling was not in a hurry. He had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design before. The clothes were quiteplicated, and the style needed a lot of time. ¡°There¡¯s only one wedding in your life. Why are you in a hurry?¡±

    [CEO Jun, there¡¯s no one else who has such awareness. Let me ask you online. When are you nning to hold your wedding with Yuan Yuan? I can¡¯t wait.]

    [ Ow ow ow ow, not to mention Bo Xiao being anxious, I¡¯m also dying of anxiety. I want to see a beauty!! I really want to know what An Rao¡¯s wedding dress looks like! ]

    After waiting for another hour, there was still no movement upstairs. Bo Xiao could not help but say, ¡°Let¡¯s go up and take a look. I want to see what clothes can be worn for two hours.¡±

    With that, Bo Xiao stood up and walked upstairs. Jun Shiling thought for a while and followed.

    The door was ajar. Before Bo Xiao entered, he heard a familiar cry.

    He pushed open the door and was first blinded by a huge drag. It was as if mountains, rivers,kes, and seas had gathered. The skirt that was filled with stars was filled with sparkling diamonds. All sorts of gems were strung up with golden threads and appeared gorgeous on the skirt.

    Not far away, An Rao leaned on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. Xia Wanyuan patted An Rao¡¯s back helplessly. ¡°Alright, stop crying. Bo Xiao is here.¡±

    An Rao shook her head. ¡°Ignore him. Sister, you¡¯re too good. Why don¡¯t we get married? I¡¯ll marry you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Bo Xiao walked over helplessly. ¡°What are you thinking about? Come here and let me take a look.¡±

    Only then did An Rao wipe her tears and turn around.

    Bo Xiao knew that An Rao was very beautiful, but at that moment, he was still stunned by her.

    She was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress with a starry universe and a beautiful crown. Her long veil floated behind her shoulders. Although her stomach was bulging, the rest of her body was still entuated by the good cut of the wedding dress.

    A smile shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful. Why are you crying?¡±

    An Rao sniffled. ¡°It¡¯s because I¡¯m very beautiful. Yuan Yuan is too good. I want to marry her and not you.¡±

    At that moment, Jun Shiling walked in. An Rao nced at Jun Shiling and finally moved towards Bo Xiao timidly.

    <i>Forget it, it was a little difficult to marry Xia Wanyuan. It was more reliable to marry Bo Xiao.?</i>

    The photographers also followed in silently. Seeing An Rao standing not far away, the audience was also stunned.

    [ Oh my god, as expected, Xia Wanyuan is a divine-grade. Amazing, when can my best friend reach this level? ]

    [Other than a perfect match, I can¡¯t imagine any other words. This wedding dress is too beautiful. The wedding dress of a woman¡¯s dream looks like this. I¡¯m so envious.]

    The wedding dress and groom¡¯s outfit were very suitable. After trying the wedding dress, An Rao happily discussed the other matters of the wedding with Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that the important matter was imminent, An Rao could not help but feel a little anxious. As for Xia Wanyuan, she could calm all her anxiety very well.

    Just as everyone was happily looking forward to An Rao¡¯s wedding, all the major hospitals in the country suddenly received a group of patients with the same illness.

    In the news media, there were also people who began to protest, using the genius writer Liu Ling of selling products that would poison people.

    As she had been selling frequently recently, many people bought it, and even more people had problems eating it. The most serious ones were even sent to the ICU.

    There were many people who reported her, and for a moment, the crowd was furious. Arge number of buyers found Liu Ling¡¯s Weibo and asked her for an exnation.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother¡¯s attitude was extremely unyielding. ¡°Why are you looking for us? If there¡¯s a problem with the food, go to the merchants and the manufacturers. Who knows if you ate someone else¡¯s food and pushed it on us?¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother¡¯s response immediately angered manyizens. Not only did everyone report her live-stream, but they even called the police. Just as Liu Ling was doing a live-stream, the police came in and arrested her.

    The audience in the live-stream watched helplessly.

    One second ago, Liu Ling and her mother were still trying their best to promote a special weight-loss medicine that was worth 998 yuan. The next second, the police appeared and took them away with a pair of handcuffs.

    Liu Ling¡¯s parents were in the middle of selling goods when they were suddenly taken away. They did not care if it was the police and directly scolded them. In addition, they punched and kicked the police. ¡°*****, let go of me. I still have to do a live broadcast.¡±

    The audience was simply stunned.<i>?This was much better than watching the two of them sell goods. Did this pair of strange parents know what it meant to attack a police officer?</i>

    As expected, not long after, the police could not stand the two of them¡¯s unreasonable behavior and took out their guns. ¡°Don¡¯t move. If you move again, we¡¯ll punish you for assaulting the police.¡±

    Only then did the two of them behave and were obediently taken away by the police.

    [What¡¯s going on¡­ Is it so exciting? I¡¯m just here to watch the so-called genius writer. Is there a need to be so exciting?]

    [ How fierce these parents are. They dare to go against the police directly. Do they want to die? The words to scold people are so dirty¡­ How can such parents raise a genius writer? Is this considered pure? ]

    [Forget it¡­ I think it¡¯s a nest of snakes and rats. Didn¡¯t you see how Liu Ling smiled when Liu Ling¡¯s mother shouted that she was selling goods? Serves them right. I heard that the medicine they sold made people suffer from severe kidney failure.]

    Because Liu Ling¡¯s younger brother was still young, the police took Liu Ling¡¯s parents away and left someone to watch over Liu Ling and her younger brother.

    After learning that Liu Ling¡¯s parents had been arrested, many deceived people in the country jointly appealed and used Liu Ling¡¯s parents of doing whatever it took to earn money and guiding the fans to buy fake medicine.

    For a time, public resentment arose.

    In order to quickly appease the public anger, the police tried this case overnight. The results were shocking.

    They had seen greedy people, but they had never seen someone so greedy.

    In order to earn money, as long as they asked them to promote the goods,

    they were willing to sell everything from a few hundred thousand yuan to a few hundred yuan. Furthermore, they used all sorts of marketing methods.

    In just a week, the amount of money was more than ten million in various forms.

    However, during the interrogation, the two of them did not admit it at all. Firstly, they imed that Liu Ling was in charge of selling and receiving the goods. Secondly, they imed that they were willing to help the other party sell the goods because they had Xia Wanyuan¡¯s guarantee.

    They only dared to sell it because Xia Wanyuan guaranteed that the goods were fine.

    How could the police believe their words? They were very familiar with who Xia Wanyuan was. She was the wife of the richest man. Was there a need for her to vouch for them?

    However, Liu Ling¡¯s parents took out evidence. On arge stack of guarantee letters was indeed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s signature and handprint.

    Liu Ling¡¯s parents¡¯ case attracted too much attention. Arge number of news media camped outside the police station, wanting to obtain the news immediately.

    Looking at the confirmation provided by Liu Ling¡¯s parents, the people in the police station fell silent.<i>?Could it be that we have to get Xia Wanyuan to the police station for interrogation??</i>Although it was ording to the procedures, they did not dare to act rashly because of Jun Shiling¡¯s identity.

    Liu Ling¡¯s parents were the most observant. Seeing the police¡¯s attitude, they knew the crux of the problem and immediately caused a scene in the police station.

    ¡°Aiya, this is the police station that protects usmoners! The poor have no human rights. Xia Wanyuan clearly asked us to take it. Instead of asking her, you¡¯re asking us. Is there anyw!!¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s parents caused a scene at the police station, and someone recorded the scene and transmitted it.

    Soon, the outside world saw this scene in the police station. Under the pressure of public opinion, at midnight, the police station still called the manor and sent Xia Wanyuan over to ask for information.

    Xia Wanyuan asked briefly about the situation and frowned slightly. She did not expect Liu Ling¡¯s parents to cause such a hugemotion.

    Jun Shiling followed her out. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten Lin Jing to investigate. Don¡¯t worry, You¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    When they arrived at the police station, Liu Ling was also brought over.

    She was standing beside her parents, wiping her tears.

    Liu Ling¡¯s mother held her hand. ¡°Good daughter, just say that you and Xia Wanyuan did it together. Look, your brother is still so young. He can¡¯t not have anyone to take care of him, right? You don¡¯t want your brother to not have parents, right? Don¡¯t worry, your father and I will definitelye and visit you every day.¡±

    Liu Ling¡¯s father echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right, just stick to Xia Wanyuan. Her husband will definitely save her. If you follow her, won¡¯t you be able to reduce your sentence?¡±

    While they were visiting, Liu Ling¡¯s parents exined a lot of things to Liu Ling. In the end, they told her that she was young and could take it. As long as she bit Xia Wanyuan hard and pretended to be pitiful in front of her, she would definitely be saved by Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Did you hear that, good daughter? Didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan save you in the past because she pitied you? Just do it again. Your father and I really can¡¯t stand the cold in this prison. I have cold legs because I gave birth to you back then,¡± Mother Liu said as she secretly nced at Liu Ling.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Facing her parents¡¯ pleas, Liu Ling finally could not help but nod.

    How could she not understand that her parents loved her younger brother more than she loved herself? They did not care if she would be cold in prison, but her years of life had already made her used to obedience.

    She thought that she would treat it as paying back her parents for giving birth.

    Hence, she surrendered to the police. ¡°I wanted to sell everything. My parents only helped me deliver the goods.¡±

    ¡°What does a child like you know? Haven¡¯t you never been to school?¡± The police looked at Liu Ling¡¯s parents in disdain.?<i>What is this? She pushed her child into the fire pit like this.</i>

    At that moment, Liu Ling saw Xia Wanyuan walking in from the door and pointed straight at her. ¡°She taught me. Back then, she brought me to the Beijing Hotel. Seeing that I was poor, she taught me this.¡±

    The room fell silent because Jun Shiling had also walked in behind Xia Wanyuan. His deep eyes were cold, and an endless pressurended on Liu Ling. Liu Ling panicked and retracted her finger.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Liu Ling and took a few steps towards her. Her high heels clicked on the ground, making one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Xia Wanyuan looked into Liu Ling¡¯s eyes. Those timid and clear eyes when they first met were already tainted by worldly desires.

    ¡°You said that I instructed you to sell goods? I saved you just to teach you to sell those evil things?¡±

 Chapter 1128 - Prison

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Liu Ling could not stand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. She turned her head to the side, as if she could escape Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sharp scrutiny.

    Not far away, her parents were frantically gesturing for her to bite Xia Wanyuan hard.

    Liu Ling was silent for a moment before nodding in the end. ¡°Yes, your signature and handprint are on those people¡¯s contracts. If Imitted a crime, you did too. If you want to reduce your sentence, I want it too.¡±

    A hint of disappointment shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She stood up straight and looked at Liu Ling as if she was looking at an ant. ¡°Your parents have never studied and don¡¯t know much about thew. Do you think what they said is right?¡±

    Liu Ling suddenly looked up and met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold gaze. Panic shed across her eyes.

    ¡°Do you think that just by copying the same handprint signature onto other contracts, it will be legally effective?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Liu Ling. Every word was like a stick stabbing into her heart. ¡°Originally, on ount of those manuscripts, I would consider reducing your sentence.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had truly admired the spiritual energy on Liu Ling back then.

    ¡°Sister Xia, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?¡± Liu Ling had always relied on her parents¡¯ words. At this moment, under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scrutiny, Liu Ling suddenly realized.

    Her parents clearly did not know anything, but she treated their words as the truth. Now that she thought about it, she hade to this point every time because she had listened to her parents¡¯ suggestion.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had already retracted her gaze. She looked at the police officer standing at the side. ¡°Let¡¯s go in for the interrogation. I¡¯ve brought the relevant evidence.¡±

    ¡°Hey! Okay!¡± The police liked people who could cooperate and produce substantial evidence the most. It simply increased their work efficiency by more than half.

    Ten minutester, Xia Wanyuan came out of the interrogation room. On the sofa outside, a group of leaders was surrounding Jun Shiling with smiles.

    Liu Ling looked at the elegant Xia Wanyuan from afar and then at her parents, who were discussing how to let her take the me.

    She suddenly understood.

    In her life, she had actually caught a vine that fate had given her that could allow her to jump out of the mud. However, she had listened to her parents too much. She felt that the vine was not thick enough and thought that there were more opportunities.

    Little did she know that this was her only hope.

    ¡°Wretched girl, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and plead with Xia Wanyuan.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling being ttered by so many leaders, Liu Ling¡¯s mother knew that she had offended someone she shouldn¡¯t have.

    Seeing that Liu Ling was still stunned, Liu Ling¡¯s mother changed her gentle appearance from before and reached out to pinch Liu Ling. ¡°Are you stupid?¡±

    Liu Ling was pinched hurt, but she still did not move.

    She suddenly recalled what she had done in the past few days and felt that it was like a dream.

    Until Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left, Liu Ling still lowered her head, as if she did not dare to look at Xia Wanyuan again. Liu Ling¡¯s mother¡¯s curses resounded throughout the room. Only when the police finally brought a baton to intimidate her did she barely shut her mouth.

    However, for the entire night, Liu Ling¡¯s mother¡¯s gaze was like a poisonous snake as she stared fixedly at Liu Ling.

    The informationpiled by the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal team was much more professional than the police themselves.

    Hence, the next morning, the police informed the public of this evil scam.

    Because selling fake medicine involved a lot of people, the impact was bad. Liu Ling¡¯s family was sentenced to hand over all the money they had earned, and the three of them received punishments ranging from five to fifteen years.

    Along with the case, there was also themotion between Liu Ling and Xia Wanyuan.

    After reading these insider revtions, theizens sighed.

    [How should I put it? Poor people must have something to hate. Liu Ling must have been dragged down by her original family to the extreme. With such a pair of vampire parents, she¡¯s really the current Fan Shengmei. How tragic.]

    [ It¡¯s tragic, but she didn¡¯t hold on to her bottom line, right? Xia Wanyuan is her greatest help in turning things around. The conditions Xia Wanyuan gave her were so good. She was greedy and missed this only chance to save herself. Who can she me? ]

    [ Sigh, from the looks of it, I think Xia Wanyuan is the most miserable. She contributed money and effort but was still scolded. She¡¯s simply an angel on earth. Although Liu Ling is not a good person, her work is not bad. I wonder if Xia Wanyuan will still film that sci-fi movie? ]

    Chen Yun, who had been paying close attention to public opinion, saw that theizens were all paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sci-fi movie, so he called her.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you still nning to film Liu Ling¡¯s one?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not filming anymore.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. That Liu Ling is still inexperienced. Sigh, I know you¡¯re feeling ufortable, but it¡¯s still better to use her script for the time being. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to use hers?¡±

    ¡°No, I have a new script,¡± Xia Wanyuan flipped through the script in her hand and said to Chen Yun.

    ¡°Who sent it to you? Why didn¡¯t I receive it?¡± Chen Yun was puzzled.<i>?Didn¡¯t they usually send the script to the studio first? (</i>

    ¡°I wrote it myself.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Chen Yun was stunned for a while before finally saying, ¡°My little ancestor, what else can you not do?¡±

    <i>Could it be easier to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s manager?! I simply did not have to worry about anything!</i>

    ¡°I¡¯ll send it to you to take a look first.¡± Xia Wanyuan edited an electronic document and sent it to Chen Yun¡¯s email.

    Chen Yun clicked on a few pages and gasped. ¡°You¡¯re really my ancestor.¡±

    Chen Yun really wanted to knock open Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head and see what was inside.?<i>How could she know everything and be so amazing??</i>

    However, he could only think about it. He was afraid that before he could do anything to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling would kill him first.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing Hospital, after a few days of recuperation, Wei Jin¡¯s health had improved a lot. She looked at Lu Li. ¡°Miss Lu, go back and rest first. You¡¯ve taken care of me for the entire night.¡±

    Lu Li had two dark circles under her eyes and waved her small hands. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll go out and wash my face. Sister Xia told me to take good care of you. I can¡¯t leave you.¡±

    Wei Jinughed. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Lu Li yawned. ¡°You¡¯re wee. It¡¯s my duty.¡±

    She took a huge sry from Xia Wanyuan and could not do much. After all, there were too many professional talents in the studio and she did not have to help. She was already very guilty. Now that she could help Xia Wanyuan take care of Wei Jin, she was very happy.

    Lu Li yawned and went out. After taking a few steps, she saw Xiao Wang, the assistant beside Xuan Sheng.

    She secretly hid in the corner and called Xiao Wang. ¡°Brother Wang, look here. Come here.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    When Little Wang received the call, he looked around and finally saw Lu Li waving at him desperately not far away. He secretly made an OK gesture at Lu Li.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Xiao Wang hung up and held his stomach. ¡°Aiya, my stomach suddenly hurts. I¡¯ll ask the doctor.¡±

    Xuan Sheng turned around and looked at his hand. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xiao Wang thanked her repeatedly. ¡°I¡¯lle after seeing the doctor. Contact me if you need anything.¡± Then, he ran away while holding his stomach.

    Lu Li was stunned at the corner.?<i>Brother Wang, you¡¯re holding your stomach and saying that your gastric hurts?! Will Xuan Sheng really not notice this?!?</i>

    In the next second, Xuan Sheng, who had been talking to the doctor, suddenly looked back, scaring Lu Li so much that she hurriedly shrank back. She patted her chest. ¡°Fortunately, I dodged quickly. I shouldn¡¯t have been discovered.¡±

    In the distance, Xuan Sheng nced at the corner and raised an eyebrow slightly. As if he did not notice anything, he turned around and continued chatting with the doctor.

    ¡°Aiyo, Sister Lizi, you scared me to death. I was almost discovered by CEO Xuan. Tell me, why are you looking for me?¡± Wang Hui finally went around Lu Li.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, why are you in the hospital?¡± Lu Li asked curiously, her bright eyes filled with worry.

    ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s because of socializing.¡± Wang Hui sighed. ¡°CEO Xuan drinks a lot every day. How can he take it?¡±

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll make some stomach-nourishing food for him every day in the future. Can you help me bring it to CEO Xuan? If you want to eat it, I¡¯ll bring you a portion too.¡± Lu Li looked at Wang Hui. ¡°Just don¡¯t tell him that it¡¯s me.¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Wang Hui shook his head. ¡°Sister, I¡¯m only helping you because it¡¯s you. If it were anyone else, don¡¯t even think about it.¡±

    Wang Hui could be Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant at a young age, so he naturally had some skills. He was willing to help Lu Li, not only because Lu Li was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s person and could be trusted, but also because he could indeed see pure concern for Xuan Sheng from Lu Li.

    After following Xuan Sheng for two years, although Wang Hui was a straight man, he could not help but feel a little sorry for Xuan Sheng. He felt that his boss was extraordinarily miserable.

    Father Xuan would rather support an illegitimate child than Xuan Sheng. It was not easy for him to like a girl, and she was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife. He could not snatch her even if he wanted to.

    Although everyone outside called him CEO Xuan, only he knew how Xuan Sheng had managed to get the address of ¡°CEO Xuan¡±.

    CEO Xuan had been alone for too long. Wang Hui felt that Lu Li was not bad. If she could really be with CEO Xuan, he would have someone to apany him.

    ¡°Thank you, Brother Wang.¡± Lu Li smiled happily with two dimples. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m done.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Brother Wang nced outside. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave first. Um, don¡¯t contact me after ten tonight. I want to apany my girlfriend. Other times, I¡¯ll be there when you call.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Lu Li nodded heavily.

    The hospital was also close to where Lu Li lived. Wei Jin and Xuan Sheng needed to eat light food to nourish their bodies, so Lu Li decided to make four portions together.

    She ate one for herself and sent one to Wei Jin. The other two were sent to Wang Hui.

    In the office of the Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng had just finished his meeting when Wang Hui walked in with a box of rice. ¡°CEO Xuan, my girlfriend has been sending me food recently. She¡¯s a chef, so I got her to specially make one for you. Take a look and see if you like it. It¡¯s better to eat food made at home than outside.¡±

    As Wang Hui spoke, he took out a few tes of light and appetizing dishes and a bowl of porridge with red dates and white ears. The fragrance of the porridge slowly rose with the heat and floated in the room. Xuan Sheng, who was not hungry, could not help but look up.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, eat first. If you like it, I¡¯ll get my girlfriend to continue cooking.¡± Wang Hui ced the spoon in the porridge bowl and walked out of the office.

    The mellow fragrance of the porridge could not help but enter his nose. In the end, Xuan Sheng could not help but put down the document in his hand and take the spoon at the side. The moment the porridge entered his mouth, Xuan Sheng frowned.

    However, it was only for a moment before his expression returned to normal and he continued to eat calmly.

    When Wang Hui came to collect the dishes, he was surprised to find that Xuan Sheng had eaten nearly half of it. Wang Hui was very happy. ¡°CEO Xuan, it seems that my girlfriend¡¯s skills are not bad. If you like her, I¡¯ll get her to make more tonight!¡±

    With that, before Xuan Sheng could respond, Wang Hui took the things and went out. Xuan Sheng did not even have time to stop him.

    After learning from Wang Hui that Xuan Sheng liked to eat it, Lu Li was overjoyed. She jumped around and even hummed along the way.

    Wei Jin sat on the bed and looked at Lu Li¡¯s happy expression. She was also infected by her emotions. ¡°Lu Li, you¡¯re so happy. Do you have a boy you like?¡±

    Lu Li admitted it directly with a smile. ¡°Yes, but he doesn¡¯t like me. But it doesn¡¯t matter. My grandmother said that if I like someone, I just have to see him happy.¡±

    Wei Jin waved at Lu Li. Lu Li leaned over and Wei Jin stroked her head. ¡°You¡¯re so cute. He¡¯ll definitely like you too.¡±

    Lu Li shook her head. ¡°The person he likes is very beautiful, outstanding, and good. I can¡¯tpare to him in my life. He won¡¯t like me.¡±

    As Lu Li spoke, her eyes were filled with disappointment and she looked a little sad.

    Wei Jin did not know what to say for a moment. She could only pat Lu Li¡¯s shoulder tofort her.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Sister Wei.¡± Lu Li quickly adjusted her emotions and bared her white teeth at Wei Jin. ¡°Let me tell you a story. When I was sick in the past, my grandfather would tell me stories.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Looking at Lu Li¡¯s clear eyes, Wei Jin sighed.?<i>She¡¯s such a kinddy, the person she likes must be so lucky.?</i>

    In the ward, Lu Li told Wei Jin all sorts of wild and interesting anecdotes in the mountains, making the usually reserved Wei Jinugh.

    At this moment, the ward upstairs was already in chaos.

    ¡°Move, what right do you have to not let us in? That¡¯s my son! What right does Jun Shiling have to lock my son here?!¡± Looking at the bodyguards at the door of the ward, Mu Ting was furious. ¡°Move! Who are you?! How dare you stop me!¡±

    However, the entire row of bodyguards in front of him did not retreat at all and protected the ward tightly. No matter how Mu Ting shouted, the bodyguards still had cold expressions.

    Mu Ting tried to push it, but he was bounced back by the bodyguard¡¯s strong muscles.

    ¡°Good, good! You¡¯re really good!¡± Mu Ting said three good words in a row and turned to leave angrily.

    <i>Jun Shiling, you humiliated my Mu family like this. I, Mu Ting, am inferior to you now, but sooner orter, I will make you return the humiliation you owe me!?</i>

    The more Mu Ting walked, the angrier he became. When he reached the entrance of the hospital, he called Jiang Kui

 Chapter 1130 - Miscarriage

    <h4>Chapter 1130: Miscarriage</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    When Jiang Kui received the call, he had just quarreled with Zou Man.

    The originally magnificent living room was now in a mess. The ground was filled with ss shards and broken antique vases, and priceless paintings and paintings were torn everywhere.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s phone kept vibrating on the table. Jiang Kui stood up and prepared to take it.

    ¡°Pfft, it¡¯s that slut vixen again, right?¡± Zou Man sat on the sofa not far away, looking extremely disheveled. ¡°Is she being coquettish again? Can¡¯t she leave a man for a moment?¡±

    Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°Zou Man, watch your words. You¡¯re not a countryside woman. You¡¯re the madam of the Jiang family. Look at you now. What¡¯s the difference between you and a crazy woman?¡±

    Zou Man suddenly stood up. ¡°I¡¯m a crazy woman? Jiang Kui, what did you say when you married me? You said that the Jiang family belongs to our son. Now, an illegitimate child appeared out of nowhere. What do you take me for?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to tell you.¡± He had quarreled with Zou Man enough in the past few days. Jiang Kui felt tired and his phone kept ringing. Jiang Kui reached for his phone.

    Now, all the calls to Jiang Kui were determined to be from Liu Tanyu, in Zou Man¡¯s eyes.

    Seeing Jiang Kui¡¯s impatient expression, Zou Man was even angrier. She kicked the table and her phone fell to the ground, shattering the screen.

    At that moment, Jiang Kui had also walked to the table. When he saw the caller ID of ¡°Mu Ting¡±, his eyes lit up. He did not care if his phone screen was broken and directly picked up the phone to answer the call.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Jiang Kui had just said a word when Zou Man rushed over and wanted to snatch the phone from Jiang Kui¡¯s hand.

    Jiang Kui reached out and pushed Zou Man away, but he did not expect Zou Man to fall to the ground.

    ¡°Jiang Kui, blood, send me to the hospital quickly.¡± Zou Man looked at the blood slowly flowing by her leg and panicked. She looked at Jiang Kui for help.

    Jiang Kui covered the receiver and looked at Zou Man in disdain. ¡°Do you want to lie to me with fake blood like thest opening ceremony? It¡¯s enough to use the same move once. If you do it twice, do you take me for a fool?¡±

    With that, Jiang Kui left the living room. Before he left, he specially instructed the butler, ¡°There¡¯s no need to send anyone in. Let her shout. She¡¯ll know when to stop when she¡¯s tired.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± The butler bowed respectfully and gestured for the servants to busy themselves with other things and ignore Zou Man¡¯s shouts.

    Jiang Kui took his phone and sat in the car. He called Mu Ting back. ¡°CEO Mu, I¡¯m sorry. The signal was bad just now. Why are you looking for me?¡±

    Mu Ting went straight to the point. ¡°CEO Jiang, I agree to your previous suggestion. Let¡¯s find a time to talk about the details.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± A smile appeared on Jiang Kui¡¯s face. ¡°That¡¯s great. Tell me the time. Let¡¯s find a ce to meet.¡±

    After hanging up, Jiang Kui was extremely excited.<i>?This time, my father would definitely praise me.</i>

    In order to resist the increasing size of the Jun Corporation, Father Jiang had been running around, hoping to join forces with the few big families in China.

    However, an alliance meant that there had to be a leader among the few families. Thisplicated the problem.

    To be able to be a top family in China, no one was weak. No one was willing to be below others. As the initiator, the Jiang family was naturally unwilling to let their power fall. The matter was in a deadlock.

    Now that Mu Ting had relented, it was clearly a good start. As long as their Jiang family gave Mu Ting enough benefits, the others would see that there were benefits and the subsequent cooperation would be very easy.

    Mu Ting was very anxious, so he arranged to meet Jiang Kui in the office an hourter. After chatting for nearly four hours, he finally confirmed that the Mu family would join forces with the Jiang family.

    ¡°CEO Mu, why did you suddenly think it through?¡± Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Kui smiled and asked Mu Ting.

    Speaking of this, Mu Ting¡¯s face was filled with anger. ¡°Jun Shiling is too much! CEO Jiang, you don¡¯t have to pretend. Everyone¡¯s informationwork isn¡¯t so closed. I don¡¯t believe your Jiang family doesn¡¯t know about Jun Shiling forcefully barging into my Mu family.¡±

    The corners of Jiang Kui¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of this. The Jun family has developed too quickly over the years, so much so that they¡¯re too smug. The Mu family is also a family with a deep foundation. Jun Shiling¡¯s actions are not only humiliating your Mu family, but also for the other families.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Mu Ting gritted his teeth. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to let Jun Shiling have a taste of failure. I¡¯ve really let him live too well all these years.¡±

    A glint shed across Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes. He reached out to Mu Ting. ¡°CEO Mu, happy cooperation.¡±

    ¡°Happy cooperation.¡± Mu Ting held Jiang Kui¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll work on the Liu family and the Zheng family. Once the work is done, I don¡¯t believe that ourbined strength can¡¯t destroy the Jun family.¡±

    Jiang Kui nodded. ¡°With your participation, there¡¯s naturally no problem.¡±

    Jiang Kui sent Mu Ting out of thepany before walking in happily. Before he entered, his phone rang.

    ¡°Hello? Butler, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The smile in Jiang Kui¡¯s tone had not disappeared.

    ¡°Young Master, bad news!¡± The butler was very panicked. ¡°Madam has a miscarriage!¡±

    As the butler spoke, his heart palpitated. God knew how terrifying the scene in the living room had been.

    The servants listened to Jiang Kui¡¯s instructions and did not enter the living room for the entire afternoon. No matter how Zou Man shouted, everyone pretended not to hear her.

    In the evening, it was time to go in and deliver dinner. As soon as the servant entered, he was so frightened that he smashed the dishes. He hurriedly rushed over and saw blood all over the ground in the living room.

    Zou Man was also covered in blood. The sofa in the living room was filled with the bloody marks of her struggle. There were a few lines of blood on the floor. Zou Man was lying by the door, looking like she had crawled over from the sofa.

    The butler immediately sent Zou Man to the hospital. After emergency treatment, she was saved, but the child was gone.

    As the stillbirth had been left in the womb for too long, Zou Man had lost too much blood. The doctor had saved her through surgery, but it was very likely that she would lose the ability to reproduce in the future.

    When Jiang Kui rushed to the hospital, Zou Man had already been transferred to the VIP ward.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Kui frowned and looked at the butler. Although he did not like Zou Man, at least she was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Jiang family. Now that the child was gone, his father would definitely me him.

    ¡°Young Master, sigh.¡± The butler sighed. ¡°The doctor said that Madam had signs of miscarriage four hours ago. It was us who dyed her treatment in time, which dyed the best time. The doctor said that Madam might not be able to give birth in the future and her body has been greatly damaged.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    ¡°She can¡¯t get pregnant in the future?¡± Jiang Kui only heard this main point. He frowned. ¡°Can¡¯t it be cured?¡±

    <i>What was the use of a madam of the Jiang family who could not have children? She was not qualified to be a vase.?</i>

    ¡°The doctor said the probability is very low.¡± At this point, the butler sighed.

    He also had children. Thinking of how he and the servants had stood outside the door the entire afternoon and ignored Zou Man¡¯s painful cry for help, and thinking about how she cried miserably, he felt terrible.

    Especially when he thought of how they had exhausted the little life in Zou Man¡¯s stomach that had never seen this world before, he felt even more ufortable. Looking at Jiang Kui¡¯s expressionless face, the butler sighed in his heart.

    <i>Many people tried their best to marry into rich families, but how many people could survive in rich families safely?</i>

    ¡°Alright, send someone to take care of her. I¡¯m going to pick up Xiao Yu.¡±?<i>The child in Zou Man¡¯s stomach was gone. Fortunately, there was still a biological Xiao Yu.?</i>

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± No matter how much the butler sighed in his heart, he would not show it at all. He knew his identity. Other than being obedient, he could not show anything else.

    Jiang Kui and Zou Man came to the hospital in a hurry and did not hide anything along the way. Many people saw them.

    Hence, soon, the matter of Zou Man being hospitalized became a trending topic on Weibo.

    Theizens had always been good at gossip. As long as there was a clue, they could follow it and find the follow-up behind it.

    ¡°ording to reliable sources, Zou Man had a miscarriage. My aunt¡¯s son¡¯s wife is a nurse in Beijing Hospital. She saw Zou Man being carried in covered in blood with her own eyes.¡±

    [F*ck, is it real or fake? So tragic? Wouldn¡¯t Jiang Kui be so sad? Miscarriage is too painful.]

    [Hehe, sad? I suggest you move to the next trending topic and see how real Jiang Kui and Zou Man¡¯s rtionship is. I even suspect that Jiang Kui deliberately caused the miscarriage to cut ties with Zou Man.]

    [I guarantee that it¡¯s real. My uncle¡¯s cousin is cooking in a certain noble kindergarten canteen. This afternoon, when she got off work, she saw Jiang Kui pick up a child with a very beautiful woman. That child called him Daddy.]

    [I don¡¯t want to eat melon. I just want to ask why your rtives are so amazing?]

    When the news was first released, everyone was still skeptical. When all sorts of photos and videos were spread, everyone¡¯s hearts trembled when they saw Zou Man¡¯s blood-stained appearance in the video.

    Ever since Zou Man¡¯s miscarriage, some nosyizens began to dig up Jiang Kui and Zou Man¡¯s rtionship. Only then did they realize that many things did not match their descriptions.

    The first time the two of them met was not at the age of 18 at all, but the year beforest. There were no ten years of long-distance running, and the total time they had been in love and married was only two years.

    Jiang Kui had never remembered what Zou Man liked to eat and what she did not.

    Zou Man did not design any clothes for love. Those elements were all misinterpreted by theizens.

    ¡­¡­.

    The details that had been ignored in the past were now all dug out by theizens with magnifying sses.

    As Jiang Kui did not hide anything when he went to pick his son up, the photo of him, Liu Tanyu, and Xiao Yu leaving the school together was also recorded.

    Xiao Yu held Liu Tanyu with one hand and Jiang Kui with the other. The three of them chatted andughed, looking quite loving.

    [¡­ F*ck, isn¡¯t Zou Man lying on the bed after a miscarriage? Jiang Kui is fooling around with another woman? And an illegitimate child? This is too much.]

    [ I¡¯m convinced. I¡¯m ashamed that I once fell for their couple. I even praised Jiang Kui for being a peerless man. Sorry to disturb you. So the clown is me. ]

    [What a scumbag. My worldview has been overturned. This is simply too much. No matter how much he doesn¡¯t like her, his wife is lying on the hospital bed. How can he bring his mistress and pick up the illegitimate child from school?]

    Due to the fact that Zou Man and Jiang Kui had been too ruthless in marketing as a model couple back then, now that the truth was out, the public opinion rebounded very badly. Everyone felt that they had been deceived. Under the double anger, they almost ttened Jiang Kui¡¯s official Weibo.

    The shares of the Jiang Corporation fell.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Jiang Kui kicked the desk, but the desk was too hard. He was rebounded and sat on the ground.

    The subordinate looked up in shock and held back hisughter. He hurriedly went forward to help Jiang Kui. ¡°CEO Jiang, calm down.¡±

    ¡°Calm down?! How?! I told you to remove the trending topic! No matter how much money you spend, remove it!¡± Jiang Kui was furious and pushed away his subordinate¡¯s hand to help him.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, our staff is already doing their best to do this, but you should know that the Jun Corporation is up to no good. The trending topic can¡¯t be removed.¡±

    Logically speaking, Weibo was a ce where one could remove the trending topic as long as they were paid.

    However, if the other party paid more and was more powerful, there was nothing they could do. The trending topic that the Jiang family could not suppress must be controlled by the Jun family.

    ¡°Get out! A bunch of useless things!¡± Jiang Kui cursed angrily.<i>?Jun Shiling again! The Jun family again!</i>

    <i>When will the Jun family be destroyed?! I wish I could eat the flesh of the Jun family!?</i>

    As Jiang Kui had expected, Lin Jing was reporting the Jiang family¡¯s matters to Jun Shiling in the Jun Corporation.

    ¡°CEO Jun, everything has been settled. All sorts of audio videos will be released online one after another.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied. ¡°How long did they buy the trending topic back then?¡±

    ¡°Back then, the Jiang family interfered and bought nearly 20 trending topics openly and secretly. The duration added up to about two months.¡±

    ¡°Then let Zou Man and Jiang Kui¡¯s trending topics float on Weibo for two months.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the document in his hand and gave orders.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After Lin Jing left the office, Jun Shiling drew on the document. In the end, he drew a red cross on the word ¡°Jiang¡±.

    In the hospital, after a night of emergency treatment, Zou Man finally opened her eyes slowly the next morning.

    Her face was pale and she looked extremely weak. She lookedpletely different from the genius designer who usually had exquisite makeup on.

    After the doctor and nurse checked her body, someone opened the ward door just as they left.

    Zou Man opened her eyes slightly. Her breathing suddenly quickened, and white smoke covered the ss cover.

    Not far away, Liu Tanyu was wearing a white cheongsam and holding a few-year-old child in her hand. She was smiling at Zou Man.

    ¡°Xiao Yu, call her Stepmother.¡± Liu Tanyu looked at the child beside her.

    Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before calling out, ¡°Stepmother.¡±

    ¡°Sister, Xiao Yu and I came to visit you. You have to take care of your health.¡± Liu Tanyu smiled at Zou Man.

    The monitor in the room suddenly chirped fiercely.

    The doctor and nurse had not gone far when they heard the call in the ward. They hurriedly turned back.

    The moment she entered, she was shocked. ¡°The patient deteriorated suddenly. Rescue her immediately!!¡±

    At the door, Liu Tanyu looked down at her son, squatted down, and tidied his clothes. ¡°Xiao Yu, what do you want to eat tonight?¡±

    ¡°I want to eat hamburgers, c, and French fries.¡± Little Yu cared about his chubby cheeks and looked cute and innocent.

    ¡°Okay, Mommy will bring you to eat.¡± Liu Tanyu kissed Xiao Yu on the cheek.

    ¡°Okay!!¡± Xiao Yu jumped up happily and ran out holding Liu Tanyu¡¯s hand. Liu Tanyu smiled and instructed him to run slower.

    In the ward behind her, the doctors and nurses were in a mess. Zou Man, who was on the bed, had already fainted.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing Hospital, under Lu Li¡¯s care, Wei Jin¡¯s condition was much better than a few days ago.

    Seeing Lu Li busy herself, Wei Jin smiled and waved at her. ¡°Go back and rest first. My mother will take care of meter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave when Auntiees.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Jin looked at the list in Lu Li¡¯s hand. ¡°What are you holding? You¡¯ve been holding it the whole time?¡±

    ¡°I asked the doctor for a recipe that specializes in insomnia.¡± Lu Li sat by the bed. ¡°It¡¯s the boy I like. He always has insomnia, so I got this from the doctor.¡±

    Wei Jin stroked Lu Li¡¯s head. ¡°Are you so good to everyone?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Lu Li shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m only good to you if you treat me well.¡±

    Wei Jin smiled. ¡°Mm.¡±

    At that moment, there was a knock on the ward door. A slender woman appeared at the door. When she saw Wei Jin, her eyes turned red. ¡°Ah Jin.¡±

    ¡°Mother.¡± Wei Jin nodded reservedly, then looked at Lu Li. ¡°Go back first.¡±

    Seeing that Wei Jin¡¯s mother had arrived, Lu Li left the ward in relief.

    After returning from the hospital, Lu Li first changed into clean clothes before starting to make dinner. She also made soup that could calm one¡¯s mind and ease insomnia.

    Today was Assistant Xiao Wang¡¯s day off. He was watching a movie with his girlfriend at home when he suddenly thought of sending food for Lu Li. He was very apologetic. ¡°Baby, I have to help someone send food to CEO Xuan. I¡¯ll be back to apany you in two hours, okay?¡±

    His girlfriend was unhappy. ¡°CEO Xuan needs you to deliver food? You¡¯re lying to me, right? Did you go and hang out with some woman? You¡¯re not allowed to go. Stay here and watch a movie with me.¡±

    ¡°Aiyo, my baby, it¡¯s true. Look at my WeChat,¡± Xiao Wang said as he took out his chat history with Lu Li. ¡°Look, it¡¯s like this¡­¡±

    In order to make his girlfriend believe his words, Xiao Wang exined the entire situation. Only then did his girlfriend reluctantly say, ¡°Alright, an hour and a half. Come back after sending it.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll bring you a gift when I¡¯m back.¡± Xiao Wang kissed his girlfriend again before coaxing her. He put on his clothes and walked out.

    Just as Xiao Wang left, his best friend called.

    When girls gathered together, they naturally chatted about everything. Xiao Wang¡¯s girlfriend directly told her that her boyfriend was helping others woo Xuan Sheng. ¡°Hey, what do you think this youngdy is thinking? She sends food every day and doesn¡¯t let my boyfriend tell CEO Xuan. Is there such a devoted person in the world??¡±

    Her best friend was very calm. ¡°Maybe she has her difficulties. Just tell your Little Wang not to tell CEO Xuan. If others don¡¯t want to say it, there must be a reason why they don¡¯t want to say it.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I know. I¡¯ll y with you when Xiao Wang goes to work. I¡¯ll go watch a television drama.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Sister. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    After Xiao Wang¡¯s girlfriend hung up, Ding Shanshan put down her phone. Thinking of what Wang Yu had just said, a dark glint shed across her eyes.

    She was from the entertainment industry and Wang Yu was just an outsider. At a g, she identally discovered that Wang Yu¡¯s boyfriend was actually Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant. That was why she created many coincidences and became good friends with Wang Yu.

    However, she was helpless. Wang Yu had never cared about her boyfriend¡¯s work. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Xiao Wang had always ignored her. She had originally wanted to give up on Wang Yu as a friend, but who would have thought that she would give her such a big surprise today?

    Ding Shanshan quickly put on her makeup, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

    At Glory World Group, because there was too much food and soup, Lu Li was worried that Xiao Wang would spill it alone, so she followed Xiao Wang downstairs.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Sister Lizi. Follow me up. ording to CEO Xuan¡¯s usual habits, he¡¯s in a meeting at this time and won¡¯te out. We¡¯ll secretly bring it in and then you can leave.¡±

    ¡°Is there no problem?¡± Lu Li was a little worried that Xuan Sheng would hate her after seeing her and feel that she was pestering him again.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, trust me.¡± Xiao Wang patted his chest.

    Only then did Lu Li carry her things and follow Xiao Wang upstairs. As he had said, Xuan Sheng was in a meeting and the office was empty. Lu Li put down her things and walked out, quickly disappearing outside thepany.

    Xiao Wang returned to the office to get a document to bring home to read. Just as he was about to get off the elevator, the door opened and he saw a familiar person. He frowned slightly. ¡°Ding Shanshan? What are you doing here?¡±

    He did not like Ding Shanshan at first nce, but his girlfriend was her best friend.

    ¡°Brother Wang, I just have something to ask you.¡± Ding Shanshan walked out of the elevator and pointed at the sofa not far away. ¡°Let¡¯s talk there. I¡¯ll leave after that.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Wang nodded and sat down with Ding Shanshan.

    Ding Shanshan took out a n. ¡°It¡¯s like this. Isn¡¯t Xiao Yu¡¯s birthdaying up? I want to give her a gift, but I don¡¯t know what to give her. I want you to help me choose.¡±

    Xiao Wang¡¯s frown deepened. ¡°You can ask someone else.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know her the best? I just want to ask you.¡± Ding Shanshan tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled awkwardly.

    Xiao Wang casually pointed at a ne. ¡°She¡¯ll like this.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Brother Wang.¡±

    As the two of them were talking, the meeting room not far away suddenly opened. A group of people slowly walked out.

    Xiao Wang did not want to be misunderstood in front of his colleagues. He picked up his things and prepared to leave. ¡°I¡¯m on leave today. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Brother Wang.¡± Ding Shanshan waved at Xiao Wang.

    The moment Little Wang disappeared into the elevator, Xuan Sheng walked out of the meeting room.

    Ding Shanshan looked at Xuan Sheng¡¯s handsome face and lowered her head shyly. However, she immediately walked towards Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, after eating for the past few days, does your stomach feel better?¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked up and his ink-ck eyesnded on Ding Shanshan¡¯s face. After a while, the corners of his lips finally curled up. ¡°Not bad.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Really?¡± Ding Shanshan looked up shyly. ¡°I was just asking. As long as you like it.¡±

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up. His handsome facial features looked even more soul-stirring under this smile. ¡°Did you ask Xiao Wang to send the food?¡±

    Ding Shanshan lowered her head and blushed. ¡°Xiao Wang is my best friend¡¯s boyfriend.¡±

    She did not admit it directly, but the meaning behind her words was quite obvious. ¡°As long as you eat happily, CEO Xuan.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered as he casually nced at the corner in the distance. Then, he retracted his gaze. ¡°Pretty good. Thank you. If you don¡¯t mind, do you want to have dinner together?¡±

    Ding Shanshan looked up in surprise. ¡°Okay!¡±

    ¡°Then it¡¯s settled. Six o¡¯clock. Where are you staying? I¡¯ll pick you up. Leave me your number.¡±

    Ding Shanshan quickly called Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, I¡¯ll wait for you at home.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom eyes raised slightly, looking unrestrained. ¡°Miss Ding, you look very beautiful in red.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your praise, CEO Xuan.¡± Ding Shanshan turned away in embarrassment, but a pair of hands suddenly brushed past her ear.

    She looked up and Xuan Sheng was suddenly especially close to her. He ced his hand by her ear and helped her tie her hair. ¡°Why are you so polite? You gave me so many things I like. It¡¯s only right for me to thank you.¡±

    Under Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze, Ding Shanshan turned around and left with an excited smile.

    <i>!!! I had really contacted Xuan Sheng! I had even gotten Xuan Sheng¡¯s phone number! I would even have lunch with Xuan Sheng! It could not be any better.?</i>Thinking that she was about to be called Mrs. Xuan, Ding Shanshan was so happy that she could not hide the smile on her face.

    Xuan Sheng stood on the spot for a while before leaving. After Xuan Sheng left, a white figure slowly walked out from the corner.

    Lu Li lowered her head. She had originallye back to look for something, but she did not expect to see this scene.

    From afar, Lu Li did not hear what Xuan Sheng and the beautiful woman were saying. However, she saw that Xuan Sheng had helped her tie her hair and was smiling at the woman. The two of them looked extremely intimate.

    <i>So, does Xuan Sheng have a girlfriend?</i>

    Thinking of this, Lu Li felt a little sad. She stared at her toes and did not even want to look for her things. She pressed the button for the elevator.

    Since Xuan Sheng had found a girlfriend, she could not disturb him anymore.

    In the office, the moment Xuan Sheng walked in, he saw the lunch box on the table. He walked over and opened it. It was still his favorite taste. Just looking at it made his appetite increase.

    Xuan Sheng sat down and slowly ate. The soft pork ribs and the fresh and sweet fish soup were all his favorites.

    After Lu Li left the Great Glory Group, she went to the Qing University entrance to wait for Xia Wanyuan. Now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sci-fi movie was starting to be filmed.

    Xia Wanyuan had always done things seriously. She personally supervised everything and wanted it to be perfect. Lu Li would apany her to patrol the production team every day.

    Finally, it was time for ss to end. Xia Wanyuan walked out the door. Lu Li waved at her. ¡°Sister Xia!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and saw that Lu Li was not in a good mood. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Lu Li walked beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°CEO Xuan has a girlfriend.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. ¡°Oh? How did you know?¡±

    ¡°I saw it.¡± Lu Li helped Xia Wanyuan open the car door and got in herself. ¡°CEO Xuan helped her tie her hair and even smiled at her.¡±

    ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not think that Xuan Sheng would be infatuated with her, but she knew Xuan Sheng well. Now that the Glory World Group was in a heated marketpetition with the Xuan family, Xuan Sheng should not have the energy to specially find a girlfriend.

    Perhaps everything Lu Li saw was what Xuan Sheng deliberately wanted her to see.

    Xuan Sheng was not a boring person. He might have done this because¡­ Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan nced at the sad Lu Li and a smile shed across her eyes.

    ¡°What might not be?¡± Lu Li looked up and asked curiously.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze.?<i>Let the two of them do whatever they want.?</i>

    At this time, there was no need for outsiders to expose and interfere.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. The usually lively Lu Li fell silent as she recalled the woman she had just seen.

    Thinking of her gorgeous appearance and good figure, and then thinking of herself, Lu Li sighed slightly.

    Beijing Hospital.

    Mu Ting came to the ward with arge number of bodyguards.

    ¡°Mu Feng is my son. You have no right to stop me from seeing my son.¡± Mu Ting looked coldly at the guard at the door of the ward and gave the bodyguard behind him a look.

    The bodyguards immediately rushed forward and took out meter-long batons from behind.

    The two sides were about to fight.

    At that moment, the ward door suddenly opened and a piece of silver hair appeared in front of everyone.

    Mu Feng crossed his arms in front of his chest with a familiar cynical smile on his face. ¡°Yo, Father, what are you doing? Do you need to bring so many bodyguards to visit your son?¡±

    Mu Ting stared straight at Mu Feng. ¡°Follow me back to the Mu family immediately.¡±

    The corners of Mu Feng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I definitely have to go back to the Mu family, but I don¡¯t need you to force me to go back, Father.¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t go back with me today, you¡¯ll bear the consequences yourself!¡± Mu Ting was really furious that Mu Feng and Jun Shiling had colluded.

    Even if he had to go outside to give birth to a new child, he did not want to nurture Mu Feng as an heir anymore.

    Mu Sheng raised an eyebrow mockingly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. You should have thought of the consequences when you drugged me and ced Wei Jin under house arrest.¡±

    ¡°Unfilial son!¡± Mu Ting was so angry that his face and neck were red. His hand that was pointing at Mu Feng trembled slightly.

    After a while, he finally flung his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go!!¡±

    After Mu Ting left, Mu Feng finally could not take it anymore and covered his stomach.

    ¡°Young Master Mu, are you okay?¡± The guards surrounded Mu Feng and supported him.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m going downstairs for a while. I¡¯ll be backter,¡± Mu Feng said as he walked out.

    In the ward downstairs, Wei Jin was sitting on the bed reading. A woman in red was peeling an apple with an extremely calm expression.

    Hearing the sound of the ward door opening, Wei Jin thought it was a nurse. However, her mother looked up and was surprised to see the silver-haired Mu Feng. She immediately looked at Wei Jin. ¡°Ah Jin, is he here to look for you?¡±

    ]Wei Jin looked up and her eyes turned red.

    Mu Feng stood upright at the door. His silver hair fluttered in the air and he had a doting smile on his face. He walked towards Wei Jin step by step. ¡°Why are you crying? Aren¡¯t I still standing here fine?¡±

    Wei Jin wanted tough, but looking at Mu Feng¡¯s pale face, she could notugh. She patted the seat beside her. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Mu Feng walked over. Wei Jin¡¯s mother stood up and walked out with the apple. ¡°You two chat first. I¡¯ll go out for a walk.¡±

    With that, Wei Jin¡¯s mother left the ward, leaving space for the couple.

    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Mu Feng leaned over and wanted to check Wei Jin¡¯s wound, but Wei Jin pressed him down.

    ¡°Stop fooling around.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°It¡¯s only been a while since west met, and you¡¯re already so distant from me.¡± A smile shed across Mu Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you not acknowledge me as your husband anymore?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wei Jin lowered her eyes with a shy expression.

    However, in just a second, Wei Jin looked up again, wanting to look at Mu Feng for a while. After all, she had not seen Mu Feng for too long.

    ¡°Come here.¡± Mu Feng extended his arm to Wei Jin. ¡°Let your hubby hug you.¡±

    Wei Jin looked at him angrily, but in the end, she still stepped forward and leaned into his arms. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡±

    ¡°Much better.¡± Mu Feng endured the pain in his body and stroked Wei Jin¡¯s hairfortingly. ¡°You¡¯ve suffered. I¡¯ll help you get it back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin was not pretentious. She liked the feeling of having someone backing her, especially since that person was Mu Feng.

    ¡°Good girl.¡± Mu Feng lowered his head and nted a kiss on Wei Jin¡¯s head.

    The ward fell silent for a moment. There was only the sound of medicine flowing quietly. The originally cold ward now seemed very warm.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Time flowed quietly. When China began to step into the threshold of the night, the other side of the sea was the beginning of a lively day.

    The most famous news agency website in the country was Weibo, and internationally, it was FINS.

    Early in the morning, a Chinese name appeared on the trending list in FINS.

    The topic of ¡°Chinese Kung Fu¡± quickly upied the eyes of the world.

    The cause of the matter was a video posted by Director Charon.

    Director Charon¡¯s new movie had already begun filming. All the actors had already begun the final preparations.

    Director Charon¡¯s video recorded the actors memorizing the script and warming up.

    Among them, there was a surprising scene that shed past.

    An oriental-looking Chinese woman was riding a horse on the grass and running. She looked very carefree. The woman looked back and smiled. Suddenly, she stood up on the horse and made a series of fancy movements, causing theizens to click their tongues in wonder.

    [Amazing, is this Chinese martial arts?! I¡¯ve always heard that Chinese people know martial arts, so is this true?]

    [Wow, no wonder Director Charon wanted to find an actress from China to y an important supporting role. Their bodies are really terrifyingly flexible.]

    [I want to know thisdy¡¯s name. She¡¯s so beautiful and her horsemanship is superb.]

    In the end, Director Charon personally replied to everyone.

    ¡°This is China¡¯s actress, Su Yueran.¡±

    Director Charon had arge number of fans on all continents. Once he posted this post, Su Yueran immediately became famous worldwide.

    By the time the news spread to China, Su Yueran already had the title of Oriental Pearl internationally.

    Some domestic marketing ounts were very patriotic. Regarding the news from abroad, the marketing ounts reposted it wantonly and further processed it. In the end, the version that circted online became:

    ¡°The former Oriental Pearl Xia Wanyuan has already been forgotten. Now, the new Oriental Pearl has made the world more aware of China¡¯s charm.¡±

    In order to further expand the poprity, the marketing ount evenunched a topic ¡°The Pearl of the East in your heart¡±, attractingizens to choose their favorite vote on Weibo.

    Back then, when ¡°Yuan_wanxia¡± became famous overseas, the internationalmunity did not say anything. The domestic marketing ounts first gave her the title of Oriental Pearl. Now that Su Yueran had suddenly caused a heated discussion overseas, everyone could not help but think of Xia Wanyuan.

    [There¡¯s no need to say that. Aren¡¯t the two of them spreading Chinese culture? Why does the marketing ount¡¯s words sound so ufortable?]

    [Yueran is so amazing. She has brought glory to the country. I look forward to Yueran bing an international superstar!!]

    [ If the Chinese can¡¯t understand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calligraphy, how can they expect foreigners to understand? Anyway, if we really want to judge the Oriental Pearl, I vote for Su Yueran. She¡¯s still more amazing. ]

    [ Hehe, are you blind? It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t understand it yourself. Don¡¯t drag us in to thank us. It¡¯s not like Xia Wanyuan only knows how to draw Chinese paintings. Her oil painting skills have been certified by the International Painter Association. There¡¯s no need to exin to the number one person who has won glory for the country. ]

    At this moment, a blogger suddenly uploaded a screenshot.

    In the video, it showed Prince Charlie¡¯s social ount in Ennd. In the ount, he praised the Chinese for their high horsemanship and used a word, ¡°she¡±.

    Seeing Prince Charlie praise this woman with extremely high horsemanship and use all sorts of ttering words that made the Chineseizens blush, everyone naturally thought of Su Yueran.

    Some resourcefulizens even dug out videos of Prince Charlie and the Chinese woman he praised racing at the Lakeside Vi.

    In the video, the ck-haired valiant figure rode the horse in the night. Theizens¡¯ blood boiled.

    [How amazing. I really didn¡¯t expect Su Yueran to be so strong to receive such passionate praise from Prince Charlie. As expected of the female celebrity I like.]

    [ Glory for the country. Alright, I¡¯ve be a fan. ]

    From internationally to domestically, social media was filled withizens¡¯ praise for Su Yueran. For a moment, Su Yueran was in the limelight.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan had also seen the trending topics on Weibo. Seeing that familiar video, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    Looking at Su Yueran¡¯s studio¡¯s response, they seemed to tacitly agree that the person in the video was Su Yueran.

    Xia Wanyuan closed Weibo and was a little amused.

    <i>Why do so many people like to pretend? Aren¡¯t they afraid of shooting themselves in the foot??</i>

    The foreign websites quickly dug out the horse racing video that Prince Charlie had uploaded at that time. Suddenly, arge number ofizens surged into Prince Charlie¡¯s social ount and began to praise this magical Asian woman.

    Prince Charlie had been meeting foreign guests for the entire day. When he finally caught his breath and opened his social ount to take a look, he saw countlessments praising this ¡°magical oriental woman¡±.

    Prince Charlie nodded.?<i>Not bad. These people had good taste.?</i>

    However, when he took a closer look, he realized that there was an unfamiliar name in thements.

    <i>Su Yueran?? What the hell?!?</i>

    <i>This was Xia Wanyuan, okay?! My goddess!</i>

    Theizens were still reposting the post,menting that Su Yueran, this Asian woman, was sufficiently beautiful. Out of curiosity, Prince Charlie clicked on the video that everyone was crazily praising.

    Then, he came out with a question mark on his face.

    <i>Was that considered superb skills?? Was it considered amazing just by doing a few fancy actions on the horse??</i>

    <i>Ha, this group of mortals who had never seen the world, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills were really amazing, okay?!</i>

    Prince Charlie thought for a while and replied to aizen in thement.

    ¡°Thank you for liking it, but I don¡¯t know who you¡¯re talking about. The person in this video is called Xia Wanyuan. She has her own FINS ount. It¡¯s this @wanxia_yuan.¡±

    The foreignizens clicked on the ount given by Prince Charlie.

    <i>Huh?? Why does it look a little wrong? Why are they all calligraphy and painting? Is this person with a strong artistic aura really the valiant and heroic woman in Prince Charlie¡¯s video???</i>

    The sharpness that was like the edge of a sword being unsheathed waspletely different from the peaceful paintings and art they had seen.

    However, what the prince of Ennd said could not be fake. Everyone began to look for information about the owner of this ount in thements.

    ording to the name Xia Wanyuan, everyone found a lot of news on the Inte.

    There was news of her bing a member of the International Painter Association, her painting and calligraphy, and videos of her shocking the world as a designer. Even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity in Suhangst year because of a set of photos was dug out byizens.

    [Wow, I know this person. Her name is Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s an especially famous actress in China who has acted in many television dramas and movies! She¡¯s also an especially amazing painter and designer.]

    [I always thought that Chinese people had small eyes and t noses. I didn¡¯t expect such an exquisite person to exist. She¡¯s so beautiful. I¡¯ve never chased a Chinese idol before. I¡¯m a little tempted.]

    [ Is she that amazing¡­ She looks very young. So there¡¯s such a good person in China? I¡¯ve never admired calligraphy and painting works thate from China. This Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work, I think it¡¯s not bad. ]

    Originally, not many people on the Inte noticed Xia Wanyuan. Even if she had news, it was only popr in a small area.

    However, Director Charon¡¯s influence was worldwide. Because of his post praising Su Yueran,

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan sessfully became popr on the Inte.

    Her equestrian skills, her paintings, her film and television works, and her fashion design became the trending topic on FINS that day.

    Wanxia_yuan¡¯s ount had gained millions of fans in just a day. The name Xia Wanyuan was even more hotly discussed on the Inte.

    Theizens called her ¡°the magical Oriental girl¡±.

    When the news reached China, the marketing ounts deleted the postparing Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran overnight and began to praise Xia Wanyuan endlessly for bringing honor to the country.

    [Hehe, the marketing ount is speechless. I¡¯ve really seen enough.]

    [Tsk tsk, you deleted Weibo posts so quickly. Who said yesterday that Xia Wanyuan was the old Oriental Pearl? Are you pping my face? Let¡¯s see if you still dare to spout nonsense.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really amazing. Why does she know so much? I¡¯m crying. You can give me both. Every time I see her news, it makes me feel that I might be here to make up the numbers. ]

    Overseas, Su Yueran also saw thesements.

    The manager was indignant. ¡°Yueran, aren¡¯t you angry? Director Charon specially posted that post to support you, but in the end, the limelight was all taken by Xia Wanyuan. They did it on purpose, right? This is too much.¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Xia Wanyuan is indeed quite amazing.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± The manager pursed his lips. ¡°In my opinion, only Jun Shiling will spend money to support her. What can¡¯t he do with money? You¡¯re filming a sci-fi film, and Xia Wanyuan went to film one shortly after. I think she¡¯s deliberately imitating you.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. The director is still waiting for us. Help me bring the props I needter. I left them in the lounge and forgot to bring them over.¡±

    The manager walked away angrily. ¡°I know, I know. You¡¯re the kind one. Seriously.¡±

    After the manager left, Su Yueran reached out and swiped away Weibo, then made a call.

    ¡°Sister, it¡¯s Yueran. Yes, when are you returning to Beijing¡­¡±

    When the manager returned to Su Yueran¡¯s side, she had already hung up and was quietly reading the script.

    The manager shook her head.?<i>Our artiste was just too low-key. If she could be as high-profile as Xia Wanyuan, how could it be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s turn to be in the limelight??</i>

    On this day, Xia Wanyuan was indeed in the limelight internationally.

    Due to her poprity, the sales of Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes doubled again, especially the international orders. They flew domestically like snowkes, and a Chinese style quietly became popr internationally.

    Other than that, what made many people in the country even more excited was that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s global exposure had allowed many foreigners to understand China¡¯s culture.

    Not only was there China¡¯s traditional calligraphy and painting culture, but the movie and television dramas starring Xia Wanyuan were also surging overseas.

    It had always been the foreign culture that fiercely plundered the aesthetics of the Chinese. This time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s unexpected poprity had begun to attract international attention.

    Seeing that Lu Li was not carrying two more lunch boxes like usual, she felt a little strange. ¡°Lu, aren¡¯t you bringing food to the person you like today?¡±

    As Lu Li helped Wei Jin open the lunch box, she shook her head. ¡°No, he has a girlfriend.¡±

    Wei Jin was speechless. ¡°Then, don¡¯t be too sad.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded. Although there was sadness in her eyes, she was not dispirited. ¡°Sister Wei, Grandma told me that if I like someone, I just have to see him happy.¡±

    In her opinion, Xuan Sheng was really a very heartbreaking person. If having the girl he liked by his side could make him not look so lonely, it was better than him being alone.

    Wei Jin did not expect Lu Li to say that. She smiled. ¡°You¡¯re such a good child. In the future, I¡¯ll introduce you to good men.¡±

    <i>How could anyone not like such a good youngdy??</i>

    Lu Li shook her head. ¡°No, I have to work hard now to repay Sister Xia for her kindness to me.¡±

    What love? She did not want to think about it anymore.

    ¡°Okay.¡± A smile appeared on Wei Jin¡¯s face.

    Lu Li apanied Wei Jin to eat and was about to leave the hospital when she saw Xuan Sheng walking in.

    Xuan Sheng did note alone this time. Beside him was Ding Shanshan, whom she had seen in thepanyst time. The two of them were very close and looked rather intimate.

    There was only one door. If she went out now, she would definitely bump into them. Lu Li did not want Xuan Sheng to misunderstand that she had deliberatelye to bump into him, so she hid behind a huge pir.

    ¡°Ah Sheng, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Ding Shanshan raised her right hand slightly. It was now tightly wrapped in gauze. ¡°If not for my hand being injured, I would definitely be able to cook for you. I wouldn¡¯t have to make you eat outside food every day. Your stomach can¡¯t take it.¡±

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. When he looked at her with his peach blossom eyes, he looked extremely affectionate. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? In the past, I didn¡¯t know that you sent me food every day. Now that I know, how can I let you help me again? My heart will ache.¡±

    Hearing Xuan Sheng¡¯s words and looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s affectionate gaze, Ding Shanshan lowered her head shyly. ¡°Ah Sheng, you¡¯re so good to me.¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°I only treat you well because you treat me well. Alright, I¡¯ll go up and get the medicine first. Wait for me here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Ding Shanshan nodded. As she watched Xuan Sheng leave, a hint of smugness shed across her face.

    It seemed that the rumors of the industry were not wrong. Xuan Sheng had been unrestrained for a long time. When he met someone who was willing to wash her hands and make soup for him, hepletely fell for her. There was no need for her to do anything else. Xuan Sheng was already holding her in his palm.

    Lu Li quietly moved towards the doctor¡¯s office not far away and ced her ear on the door.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, with your stomach illness, you really can¡¯t eat those greasy things anymore. You should drink less and eat lighter food that¡¯s good for your stomach.¡± The doctor persuaded earnestly, ¡°You can get the chef to make some porridge or something.¡±

    ¡°It tastes bad.¡± Xuan Sheng frowned when he heard the doctor mention this. The chefs were indeed skilled, but for some reason, he felt that it had an exquisite taste that made him lose his appetite.

    ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Even if it tastes bad, you have to eat it.¡± Seeing that persuasion did not work, the doctor gave Xuan Sheng thest warning. ¡°CEO Xuan, if you continue to torture your body like this, you will have a big problem in the future.¡±

    Lu Li listened intermittently, worry shing across her eyes.

    However, gradually, the voices in the office became softer and softer. Lu Li tried her best to listen but could not hear anything.

    However, Lu Li was indeed concerned about Xuan Sheng¡¯s condition. She clung to the door and wanted to squeeze forward.

    Caught off guard, the door opened.

    Lu Li lost her bnce and fell into the office, straight to the ground. ¡°Ouch.¡±

    Lu Li rubbed her hands, then looked to the right and saw a pair of familiar leather shoes.

    She looked up and saw a pair of peach blossom eyes looking at her with a faint smile. Lu Li subconsciously shrank back. ¡°CEO Xuan.¡±

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. ¡°Miss Lu, is it fun to follow me?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t follow you. Sister Xia asked me to take care of Wei here.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan? Ha.¡± Xuan Sheng sneered and nced at Lu Li. ¡°Do you think by using Xia Wanyuan to exin, you can hide the fact that you followed me? She¡¯s her, and you¡¯re you. Stop using her to suppress me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Being looked at by Xuan Sheng¡¯s mocking gaze, Lu Li felt wronged and her eyes turned red.

    Xuan Sheng looked away with a cold expression. ¡°If I remember correctly, I reminded you long ago that I don¡¯t like you. Don¡¯t waste your time on me.¡±

    At this point, Xuan Sheng¡¯s gazended on Lu Li and swept up and down. ¡°Miss Lu, do you have a mirror at home? My girlfriend is downstairs. You can look at her when you go downstairs. This might make you more self-aware.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s words were like a poisoned knife that cut Lu Li¡¯s pride into pieces. Her eyes, which were always pretending to be smiling, were dim. Lu Li lowered her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I definitely won¡¯t appear in front of you again.¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± Xuan Sheng snorted. ¡°I hope so.¡±

    Then, Xuan Sheng left the office.

    Outside the door, Ding Shanshan came to look for Xuan Sheng. She had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Xuan Shenge out, she hurriedly went up to him. ¡°Ah Sheng, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I met an unrted person.¡± Xuan Sheng strode forward with an impatient expression. He missed Ding Shanshan¡¯s hand that wanted to hold his arm and walked away alone.

    Behind her, Ding Shanshan nced at Lu Li, who was slowly getting up from the ground. She thought of the infatuated girl her best friend, Wang Yu, had mentioned. For some reason, she subconsciously felt that it must be this person in the office.

    Thinking of this, Ding Shanshan looked at her hand. Seeing that Xuan Sheng had already walked away, she turned around and walked to Lu Li with a kind smile. ¡°Youngdy, I have something to discuss with you. Is that okay?¡±

    Lu Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nced at Ding Shanshan. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Ding Shanshan nced at the confused doctor beside her. ¡°Let¡¯s talk outside.¡±

    The two of them did not talk for long in the quiet corner before Ding Shanshan came out with a smile.

    When she reached the courtyard door, Xuan Sheng was already waiting for her.

    Xuan Sheng held a cigarette in his hand. The smoke lingered between his handsome eyes. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

    Ding Shanshan got into the car and reached for Xuan Sheng¡¯s cigarette. ¡°Ah Sheng, you have to smoke less. It¡¯s not good for your health.¡±

    The frustration in Xuan Sheng¡¯s heart suddenly rose. He brushed Ding Shanshan¡¯s hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t care about me.¡±

    Ding Shanshan retracted her hand, her expression a little ugly, but only for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m just concerned about you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng took another puff. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Li walking out with something. Her eyes, which were always smiling, were red like a little rabbit that had been wronged. She was extremely pitiful.

    When Lu Li fell to the ground just now, he had seen the blood mark on her palm. Now, as Lu Li walked, she blew at her palm.

    However, even though her hands were already in such a state, Lu Li still smiled and went up to them when she saw an old couple walking past with a very heavy package in their hands. She took the two elders¡¯ packages and seemed to be preparing to help them carry them in.

    Xuan Sheng took a deep puff of the cigarette. The smoke choked his throat and he frowned.

    <i>Her hands were already like that, yet she was still putting on a brave front. Is she a pig?</i>

    Sensing that Xuan Sheng was getting more and more agitated, Ding Shanshan turned around. There was no longer any dissatisfaction on her face. She had a perfect smile. ¡°Ah Sheng, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xuan Sheng stubbed out his cigarette and opened the car door. ¡°I forgot to take my medicine. I¡¯m going up.¡±

 Chapter 1137 - Sharp Mouth but Soft Heart

    <h4>Chapter 1137: Sharp Mouth but Soft Heart</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xuan Sheng left in such a hurry that Ding Shanshan could not stop him even if she wanted to.

    ¡°Seriously, can¡¯t you just get the nurse to send me out? You even have to get it yourself.¡± Ding Shanshan rolled her eyes and took out a mirror from her bag to carefully touch up her makeup.

    In the hospital lobby, Lu Li was carrying something and chatting with the two trembling elders as they walked forward.

    ¡°Youngdy, is it heavy? You¡¯re so good. You even helped us carry our things.¡± The olddy smiled kindly at the deer pear, her broken front teeth revealing the wind.

    Lu Li retracted her arm calmly with a smile on her face. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. My grandparents are also as old as you. They can¡¯t carry heavy things either. I helped carry them at home. They¡¯re not heavy.¡±

    ¡°Aiya, what a filial girl. How old are you this year?¡± The old man¡¯s children were outside all year round. When they met Lu Li, they became more talkative and kept asking questions.

    Lu Li walked forward, and her hands gradually could not hold on anymore.

    Just now, she had pounced straight into the office. The palms of both hands had rubbed against the ground, causing arge piece of skin to be scraped. Now, it was painful from carrying the bag.

    However, looking at the trembling grandfather and grandmother, Lu Li could not bear to let them take it themselves. Lu Li wanted to hug the bag to avoid touching it.

    Unexpectedly, just as she moved her hand, she suddenly smelled a faint cigarette smoke. Then, the thing in her hand was taken away.

    Lu Li looked up in surprise and saw a handsome side profile and an impatient expression.

    It was Xuan Sheng.

    Seeing that Lu Li was still holding the bag, Xuan Sheng frowned and nced at Lu Li¡¯s hand. ¡°Let go.¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh.¡± Lu Li retracted her hand and looked at Xuan Sheng carefully. ¡°CEO Xuan, why are you here?¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s words were a little harsh. ¡°Are you the only one who respects the old and loves the young and doesn¡¯t allow others to do good?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Lu Li shrank her neck. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    Xuan Sheng stopped talking and walked forward with the bag. Sensing that the two elders were walking very slowly, Xuan Sheng gradually slowed down.

    Lu Li walked behind him and nced at Xuan Sheng¡¯s back from time to time. A smile subconsciously appeared on her face.

    <i>How could CEO Xuan be as heartless as he said? He was clearly a very good person.</i>

    Finally, he sent the two elders to the doctor. It was the one who had just treated Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Thank you, young couple.¡± The granny smiled at Lu Li. ¡°Youngdy, your boyfriend treats you very well. The two of you are really the rare kind-hearted people I¡¯ve met.¡±

    ¡°Grandma, he¡¯s not my boyfriend.¡± Lu Li wanted to exin, but Xuan Sheng had already turned and left the office. Lu Li hurriedly bade farewell to her grandparents and followed Xuan Sheng.

    Behind him, the doctor looked at the few people in front of him in confusion.

    <i>What did she mean by a young couple?</i>

    <i>Could it be that the scene I saw not long ago was fake? I thought that Xuan Sheng and this youngdy had a huge feud. Are young people nowadays so hurtful to each other when they¡¯re in a rtionship?</i>

    Lu Li ran out of the office and saw that Xuan Sheng was nowhere to be seen. She lowered her head and wondered if Xuan Sheng hated her to this extent.

    She only wanted to thank Xuan Sheng and did not have the chance.

    Lu Li walked slowly until she passed a corner.

    ¡°You¡¯re walking so slowly.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s voice sounded not far away.

    Lu Li looked up and saw Xuan Sheng leaning against the window. The sunlight cast a gentle glow on his exquisite side face.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, are you waiting for me?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at her. ¡°You can tter yourself more.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Despite Xuan Sheng¡¯s words, Lu Li¡¯s eyes were still sparkling. She jogged to Xuan Sheng¡¯s side. ¡°Thank you, CEO Xuan.¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at her indifferently. ¡°Stretch out your hand.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Li was stunned, then reached out.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Let your palms face upwards.¡±

    Lu Li turned her palm up.

    Under the bright sunlight, one could see how terrifying the wound on her palm was.

    It was not a serious injury, but her skin was scratched and her palm was stained with blood. Xuan Sheng frowned. ¡°Are you a pig?¡±

    Puzzlement shed across Lu Li¡¯s eyes. ¡°What about me?¡±

    Impatience shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes as he turned to leave. ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Lu Li followed Xuan Sheng to the consultation room.

    The nurse¡¯s ears turned red when she saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s face. ¡°Sir, are you injured?¡±

    Xuan Sheng pulled Lu Li out from behind. ¡°Bandage her.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The nurse nced at Lu Li with a bitter expression.

    However, out of professional ethics, the nurse still professionally bandaged Lu Li seriously.

    Looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s cold expression, Lu Li raised her two dumpling-like hands. ¡°CEO Xuan, thank you.¡±

    Seeing that she was already bandaged, Xuan Sheng stood up and walked out. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. If your hand is injured, Xia Wanyuan won¡¯t have anyone to help her. Hurry up and recuperate your stupid hand. Don¡¯t dy Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work.¡±

    If an ordinary woman heard Xuan Sheng¡¯s words, she would definitely be extremely sad.

    However, to Lu Li, what Xuan Sheng said made sense. She nodded heavily. ¡°Mm!! CEO Xuan, you¡¯re right! I have to take good care of my hand so that I can serve Sister Xia better!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Lu Li speechlessly.

    Sometimes, he really wondered if the person Lu Li liked was him or Xia Wanyuan.

    Ding Shanshan had already put on her makeup twice in the car before she finally saw Xuan Sheng.

    Her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to get out of the car to pick Xuan Sheng up, she saw Lu Li behind Xuan Sheng.

    Although Xuan Sheng ignored Lu Li when she said goodbye to him in the end and looked impatient, Ding Shanshan¡¯s heart was still heavy.

    <i>What if Xuan Sheng realized that I did not make that food??</i>

    Seeing Lu Li jumping into the distance, a dark look shed across Ding Shanshan¡¯s eyes.

    Xuan Sheng got into the car. Ding Shanshan leaned over and wanted to kiss him. ¡°CEO Xuan, you made me wait for a long time.¡±

    Xuan Sheng did not speak and stepped on the elerator. The car immediately drove forward. Ding Shanshan was caught off guard and her lipstick brushed against her clothes. She eximed.

    ¡°Shut up,¡± Xuan Sheng said with a frown.

    Ding Shanshan gritted her teeth and indeed quietened down. However, she could not suppress the anger in her heart.

    When the car passed by Lu Li, she happened to nce over. When she met her clean eyes, Ding Shanshan subconsciously revealed a smug expression.

    <i>So what if this youngdy was young and beautiful? The person sitting in this car and bing Xuan Sheng¡¯s legitimate girlfriend is me, Ding Shanshan.?</i>

    However, when she thought of the food, Ding Shanshan felt a little guilty. She had to find a way to settle things with Xuan Sheng as soon as possible. This way, even if she was exposed in the future, Xuan Sheng would not do anything to her.

 Chapter 1138 - Hope

    <h4>Chapter 1138: Hope</h4>

    Lu Li watched Xuan Sheng¡¯s car leave and hid the disappointment in her eyes.

    However, soon, Chen Yun called and did not allow Lu Li any time to be sad.

    Due to China¡¯s own social media system, information worldwide could basically be divided into tworge pieces. One was China, and the other was international.

    In the past, even if Chinese celebrities asionally appeared in the industry, due to cultural differences, only one or two Chinese people were really known internationally.

    This time was different. With Director Charon¡¯s huge influence, the name Xia Wanyuan suddenly became famous in the internationalmunity. Following that, there were invitations to all sorts of international business activities.

    !!

    Chen Yun was already too busy alone. Lu Li hurriedly called for a taxi. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan stood at her desk writing calligraphy and painting.

    Every time she finished a painting, Xia Wanyuan would upload a photo of the painting. Then, in a second, these works would be snatched up by private buyers.

    In the past year, Xia Wanyuan had ced countless paintings on Weibo.

    Some nosyizens specially did a count.

    In the past year, Xia Wanyuan had produced a total of 300 calligraphy works and 150 paintings.

    These four hundred or so works had brought Xia Wanyuan at least two hundred million yuan in ie.

    When these data were disyed, everyone was stunned.

    [Although Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are very rich, 200 million yuan is just casually written and drawn. Isn¡¯t this money too easy to earn?]

    [ Tell me, why don¡¯t you try casually writing and painting? Does anyone care about you? If someone is willing to buy it, it means that Xia Wanyuan has her own value. Anyway, she¡¯s not forcing you to buy it. ]

    [Hehe, I remember that when Xia Wanyuan first sold paintings and paintings, she used the banner of charity. Why haven¡¯t I heard her mention this now? As expected, the richer a person is, the more they know how to earn money. This 200 million yuan is enough for her to buy a few jewels, right?]

    The person in front, I can smell your jealousy through the screen, okay? She¡¯s rich and can buy whatever jewelry she wants. Who are you to be sarcastic here? If you have the ability, go too.]

    Theizens discussed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting and calligraphy ie. Although there were doubts, theizens were already rtively rational and would not be led by the nose byments about hating the rich.

    It was already spring in Beijing. The trees began to sprout green, and the flowers gradually bloomed.

    As the capital of China, Beijing was filled with flowers and vitality.

    In the northwest, more than two thousand kilometers away from Beijing.

    At this moment, the yellow sand was filled with dust that swallowed the already barren grasnd.

    The originally colorful tents of the herdsmen had be tattered after years of sandstorms. They were wrapped in thick yellow sand everywhere. Arge piece seemed to fall out if one casually touched it.

    The red-faced herdsmen looked at everything covered by the yellow sand and sighed.

    ¡°Sigh, the sandstorm is getting bigger every year, and the area of the oasis is getting smaller and smaller. Where can we go to herd livestock in the future?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I can¡¯t earn the child¡¯s tuition fees anymore. In the future, I¡¯m afraid I can only make him drop out of school early and work elsewhere with me. He can¡¯t live in this ce anymore.¡±

    Everyone gathered and looked worriedly at the yellow sky.

    Over the years, the climate change had been intense. In addition, the environment was deteriorating day by day. The sandstorm was getting worse year by year, and there were fewer and fewer usable water sources. As herdsmen who chased after the oasis all year round, they could not find a suitable ce to live every year.

    Although the country¡¯s support had been very strong over the years, those subsidies alone could save them for a while but not for a lifetime. They could temporarily survive, but when they thought of their children and grandchildren who would have to live in such a harsh environment in the future,

    Even though these people had not studied much, they could not help but worry about the future.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Go far away and work in a big city. Don¡¯t evere back.¡± In the corner, the oldest old man in the tribe said vaguely, ¡°Don¡¯te back in the future.¡±

    Hearing his words, everyone¡¯s hearts ached. The tribes on the ins valued the friendship between the tribes the most, especially these old people. In their eyes, the unity of the tribe was more important than anything.

    However, they had been united their entire lives. Now, they had to personally tell their descendants to go far away and never return to thisnd.

    Everyone knew that the old man probably felt very ufortable.

    The sand was still spreading, sweeping from the north to the south, from the west to the east. Countless mes filled the yellow sky.

    However, at this moment, if someone intercepted the data from the satellite observation station, they would discover that

    When many people began to escape from these ces buried by the sand, groups of convoys were heading in the opposite direction towards the center of the sand, towards the driest ce.

    Some passers-by would asionally look curiously at these carriages.

    It was not that they were curious about what they were going to do, but that there was a faint mark on the bodies of these cars. If someone who knew how to design looked at them, they would realize that those marks were abination of the letters X and J. The color of the words was tender green.

    It was like the first willow green bud in spring. At a nce, it made one feel endless hope.

    Behind these convoys were countless trucks.

    asionally, children would pass by the roadside and pick up the things that fell from the truck.

    It was a small seed that looked like the seed of a nt. The children casually threw the seed by the roadside and watered it with some water before ignoring what it was.

    However, when no one was paying attention, small buds quietly broke through the soil with the first breeze of spring and extended their tentacles into the sky.

    No one knew that these small green buds were the hope to brush away the yellow sand.

    At this moment, the media and news were still discussing intensely about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sky-high royalties.

    The southern media reporters received the instructions of the few big families in Beijing and stood up to report and criticize.

    ¡°Art shouldn¡¯t be reduced to chips for bidding. When themercial value of art far exceeds its own artistic value, what are we still pursuing?¡±

    Some media even set off and began to question. ¡°Some people can umte huge wealth with a few calligraphy paintings, while others sweep through the entire street for a 20-dorbor fee in the cold wind. What¡¯s wrong with our society?¡±

 Chapter 1139 - I Care

    <h4>Chapter 1139: I Care</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    In the past, the media had discussed the value of art, but after strong protests from fans, it was left unsettled.

    This time, the media was clearly smarter. They started with ¡°200 million¡± andpared it with the photos of the poor people.

    On one hand, Xia Wanyuan could earn 200 million a year just by casually writing and painting. She lived in a super manor and lived in luxury, as if she was the favorite of the heavens and had never experienced the sorrow of the mortal world.

    On the other hand, the bent old man with cracked hands picked up the stic bottle in the trash can with one hand and the ten yuan he had earned from selling the bottle with the other.

    In the heavy rain, he shrank his sleeves and hid under a tattered umbre, just to sell the two vegetables in front of him.

    Beside the bus stop, in order to save a dor of bus fare, the man waited bitterly for the bus that had actually stopped moving. It was only two hourster that he reluctantly left after being reminded by a passerby.

    Poor people and poverty scenes were easier to arouse sympathy.

    Seeing these people who could not breathe under the pressure of life for ten or twenty yuan, theizens¡¯ hearts ached.

    [Sigh, the world is panicking. It¡¯s just a few taels of silver, but this few taels of silver breaks the spine of the world. I¡¯m so sad.]

    [Hehe, this is China. America¡¯s welfare system is god knows how good. Even tramps have people giving them a fixed allowance every month. Unlike us, the most hardworking people live the most difficult life. People like Xia Wanyuan are already rich enough, but she still has to think of ways to earn everyone¡¯s money. She even has the cheek to sell a lousy painting for a few million yuan. These few million yuan are probably enough for a few thousand families¡¯ living expenses.]

    [That¡¯s why saying that a good reincarnation is more important than anything. People like Xia Wanyuan are stars in the sky. We¡¯re just mud on the ground. No matter if Zou Man is putting on an act or not, she will at least do some charity. Xia Wanyuan is so rich, but I¡¯ve never seen her studio post anything rted to charity.]

    ss had always been the best at separating people.

    Originally, the fans liked Xia Wanyuan because she was beautiful and talented.

    Now, under the guidance of the media, Xia Wanyuan waspletely separated from the ordinary people.

    Even if everyone had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan, they could not help but feel hostile.?<i>Xia Wanyuan was already so rich. What was the use of liking her when we were living so miserably?</i>

    When Chen Yun saw thesements, he was extremely angry. ¡°This person who hates the rich is too much. Is it wrong to be rich?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked indifferent.

    From her previous life, when she was in power, she knew that the best way to incite the people to rebel was to stimte people¡¯s sense of disparity and make them rebel and build a fairer society.

    After a thousand years, these people still used the same method.

    ¡°Theizens were just led by public opinion. There¡¯s still someone standing behind them.¡±

    ¡°Who is it?¡± Chen Yun did not know much about the aristocratic families in Beijing and was a little curious.

    Xia Wanyuan tapped her finger on the paper.?<i>Who? It was just those who wanted to touch the Jun family.</i>

    Any battle began with public opinion. The breakthrough they had found this time was with her.

    The Jun Corporation.

    Lin Jing was sorting out the relevant information. ¡°CEO Li, many of the domestic media are closely rted to the Lin family. This time, the Lin family is involved in the public opinion.¡±

    As he spoke, Lin Jing also felt that it was strange. The Lin family had always been extremely low-key and neutral. They had never participated in the struggles of the families.

    However, the public opinion battle this time involved the matriarch of the Jun family, Xia Wanyuan. Before those media released the news, they must have obtained the approval of the higher-ups before daring to release it.

    This meant that the Lin family must have agreed.

    Jun Shiling was not surprised at all. ¡°Continue ording to our n.¡±

    The only thing that could defeat public opinion was the iron truth.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Jing put away his things and left the office.

    On Jun Shiling¡¯s side, he sent Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message.

    ¡°Where?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied quickly, ¡°At home. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Wait for me.¡±

    After replying, Jun Shiling stood up, put away his things, and left.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was confused.?<i>Wasn¡¯t Jun Shiling very busy? Why was he suddenlying back?</i>

    Not long after, Jun Shiling returned to the manor.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy today?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just finished painting and was resting on the sofa, lookingzy.

    ¡°I¡¯m not busy anymore. I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Jun Shiling sat over and naturally pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Did you see the news online?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you came back because of this? The public opinion online won¡¯t affect me much.¡±

    This was only on the Inte. After turning off her phone, what she did not know would not hurt her.

    In her previous life, the rumors she had encountered were much more terrifying than these.

    As a woman, she pulled her younger siblings and floated in the chaotic world.

    In order to earn a few copper coins for the vegetables, she went to a rich family in the middle of the winter to get water and chop wood for them to wash the tes. Her hands were so cold that they were covered in sores, and she had a lot of fatigue.

    Just because she was hardworking and willing to work hard, when everyone was almost poor enough to gnaw on grassroots, she could still let her younger siblings eat a piece of meat every month and never let them starve.

    In the eyes of others, such a life, coupled with her beauty that far surpassed others, many rumors appeared out of thin air.

    They said that she had sold herself and slept with a rich young master. They even said that in order to exchange for some meat, she had seduced Old Li, who sold pork. These words were spread everywhere.

    In those few years, when she walked on the streets, rumors filled her ears and countless people poked her spine and scolded her.

    Those were all scolding her in front of her. Other than scolding her, the wife of Old Li, who sold pork, listened to other people¡¯s rumors and even burned the New Year clothes she had painstakingly made for her younger siblings when she was not at home.

    Those days had passed, and theseizens¡¯ments could not hurt her.

    Jun Shiling knew what she meant, and the love in his eyes intensified. He lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I know.¡±

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan did not care about these rumors.

    ¡°But knowing is one thing. Wanting to apany you is another.¡±

    Whether Xia Wanyuan cared or not, he cared.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    In her previous life, she had been scolded throughout the streets, from the start till the end of the year.

    Because of her special identity, no matter how angry she was, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. In such a situation, it was better to avoid trouble. She could only endure all the grievances.

    At that time, she had actually cried many times.

    However, when she returned to her younger siblings, she acted as if nothing had happened. As time passed, she got used to it.

    Now, Jun Shiling¡¯s words seemed to have made up for the regrets and grievances of her previous life.

    ¡°You¡¯re so good to me.¡± Xia Wanyuan sighed from the bottom of her heart. Jun Shiling always hit the softest spot in her heart.

    Jun Shiling picked her up. ¡°Are you stupid? If I don¡¯t treat you well, who should I treat well? I¡¯m not working today. I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck, her eyes bright. ¡°Then, let¡¯s go to the amusement park, okay?¡±

    It had been a long time since she had been there. Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s toy in the morning, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had this thought.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    This time, the two of them had an idea at thest minute. They did not go to the ce where the crowd was cleared. Instead, they wore masks and sneaked into the Beijing amusement park.

    On the other hand, Lin Jing had already sued all the news media that guided public opinion with the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal team.

    @ Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo: ¡°In order to clear up public opinion, the corporation¡¯s legal team has filed awsuit against the followingpanies ording to thew¡­¡±

    Everyone looked at the long list and gloated.

    [Which marketing ounts are so pitiful to be targeted by the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal department? The Jun Corporation¡¯s legal department has never lost a battle.]

    [Don¡¯t you think the names of these media outlets look a little familiar? F*ck, aren¡¯t these the media outlets that criticized Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings for being too expensive? Jun Shiling is too domineering. The reporters are just speaking the truth. Are they going to be sued?]

    [Hehe, so what if you¡¯re rich? The news media are just reporting the truth. Is there any justice?]

    However, the news media that were still active just now were already in chaos.

    The reason was that they were not sued by the Jun Corporation because of Xia Wanyuan, but because of some past reports.

    In the past, in order to attract attention and achieve sales, the media would naturally have some false reports. The public did not discover it, but these loopholes were all found by the legal team of the Jun Corporation.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯s fine to publish it? Why is the Jun Corporation suing us now?¡± The higher-ups of the media gathered for a meeting.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Lin family will take action on this matter. The Jun family is the leader in construction industry. In the media industry, it¡¯s not up to him to criticize.¡±

    ¡­.

    The news of many media defendants quickly spread to the ears of the various families.

    When Jiang Kui heard this news, he said, ¡°Tsk tsk, Jun Shiling can¡¯t hold it in anymore. Looks like he really lost his mind for a woman.¡±

    Now that Jun Shiling had suddenly gotten someone to file awsuit against the media on arge scale, it would only cause a bacsh in the end, making everyone feel that Jun Shiling was threatening the media for Xia Wanyuan. This was not a positive image.

    Beside Jiang Kui, the small baby leaned over. ¡°Daddy, I want to go out and y. Can you apany me?¡±

    Jiang Kui pinched his son¡¯s face. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xiao Yu was smart and intelligent. He had not epted him at first, but now, he liked this son very much. He even felt Xiao Yu¡¯s mother was much better.

    Jiang Kui picked Xiao Yu up and was about to walk out when the phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller¡¯s name, Jiang Kui subconsciously frowned and put Xiao Yu down. ¡°Son, be good. Go and find Mommy first. Daddy has something on.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Yu nced at Jiang Kui¡¯s phone and obediently ran away from his arms.

    Jiang Kui pressed the answer button. ¡°Speak.¡±

    To his surprise, Zou Man did not cry and shout at him anymore. Her voice sounded very calm. ¡°Jiang Kui, I want to do a surgery and need my family to sign it. You¡¯re the only family I have in the country. Can youe and sign it for me?¡±

    Zou Man had always been arrogant in front of Jiang Kui and would easily argue with him. Now that her attitude had suddenly softened, it triggered the pity in Jiang Kui¡¯s man nature. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go over now.¡±

    Jiang Kui drove to the hospital. After signing the papers, the doctor looked at him with aplicated expression. ¡°Your wife is still calling for her husband in her sleep. As her husband, you didn¡¯t even visit her once. It¡¯s too much to leave your wife in the hospital like this.¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he did not refute the doctor. ¡°I¡¯ll go and see her.¡±

    In the ward, Zou Man¡¯s face was pale, but without her exquisite makeup, her delicate facial features had a hint of delicate beauty.

    Hearing footsteps, Zou Man turned around. There was no hatred in her eyes and she looked calm. She even smiled at Jiang Kui. ¡°You¡¯re here? My stomach hurts. Pour yourself some water.¡±

    Such a calm Zou Man made Jiang Kui a little helpless. He took a step forward. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Zou Man nodded, and her pale face lit up. ¡°Ahem, can you pour me a ss of water?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Kui went to the side to pour a ss of water and helped Zou Man drink it.

    Zou Man took a sip and frowned, as if she was very ufortable. She leaned on Jiang Kui¡¯s shoulder.

    Zou Man was wearing a hospital gown. She was soft and weak, but she still looked very beautiful. This was the first time Jiang Kui had seen her like this. He did not object to her leaning on his shoulder at all. He even reached out and hugged Zou Man¡¯s waist. ¡°Why have you lost so much weight?¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s words, Zou Man looked up. Her eyes were filled with tears that could not be shed. She looked like a camellia after the rain, fragile but unique.

    Zou Man gently pulled Jiang Kui¡¯s clothes and said softly, ¡°Jiang Kui, we lost our child.¡±

    Hearing her fragile voice, Jiang Kui suddenly feltplicated. ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad.¡±

    Zou Man slowly hugged Jiang Kui¡¯s waist withplete attachment and dependence. ¡°I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I only know now that I can¡¯t live without you.¡±

    A man like Jiang Kui seemed to be smooth-sailing and had everything at his fingertips, but only Zou Man, who had lived with him for a long time, knew.

    Jiang Kui had been under Father Jiang¡¯s shadow for a long time and yearned for his approval no matter what he did. He especially liked the feeling of being needed and affirmed by others.

    As expected, when Zou Man said this, coupled with the perfect vulnerability and attachment in her eyes, Jiang Kui¡¯s secret point was poked. He hugged Zou Man tighter. ¡°I didn¡¯t me you. Don¡¯t worry, rest well. I¡¯ll visit you after I¡¯m done.¡±

    In Jiang Kui¡¯s arms, the corners of Zou Man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Bone-chilling hatred shed across her eyes, but when she looked up, her face was filled with hesitation and dependence.

    ¡°Can you stay here with me for ten more minutes? I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. I need you.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Jiang Kui was about to agree when a call came in.

    Jiang Kui took out his phone and saw that it was Liu Tanyu. He looked at Zou Man. There was a sparkling tear at the corners of Zou Man¡¯s eyes. Her big and bright eyes were filled with dependence on him. Jiang Kui could not bear to see her like this and reached out to hang up Liu Tanyu¡¯s call.

    Zou Man lowered her head to hide her smugness. Her voice was filled with tears. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t want me anymore. Just like two years ago, when I was sick, you insisted on going to Continent M for a meeting.¡±

    When Zou Man said this, Jiang Kui felt even more guilty.

    As the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Kui enjoyed an extremely high status and encountered many risks. Two years ago, in Continent M, he had met a group of people who wanted to kidnap him. Zou Man had stepped forward and bought him precious time to escape, preventing him from being kidnapped.

    That time, Zou Man was injured. In order toplete a project assigned by his father, he did not care about Zou Man on the sick bed and went to Continent M for a meeting.

    At this moment, when Zou Man mentioned this, it reminded Jiang Kui of Zou Man¡¯s heroic appearance when she stepped forward to save him. Looking at the fragile her in his arms, Jiang Kui¡¯s heart softened.

    ¡°Rest first. I¡¯ll stay here with you, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Zou Man said as she leaned into Jiang Kui¡¯s arms. ¡°Hubby, it was all my fault in the past. I¡¯ve thought it through. I can¡¯t live without you at all. Let¡¯s live well in the future, okay? That Xiao Yu is very cute. If you like him, bring him home. I¡¯m willing to be his mother.¡±

    Jiang Kui did not expect that a serious illness would make the usually arrogant Zou Man ept an illegitimate child. He nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    After many days, when she returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes shed with mockery when she saw the delicate child in the living room.

    Xiao Yu ran towards Jiang Yun. ¡°Auntie.¡±

    Jiang Yun frowned and looked at Liu Tanyu. ¡°When did Jiang Kui marry you?¡±

    <i>How could a child born to a woman who had never even married in have the right to call me aunt??</i>

    Liu Tanyu stood up, the smile on her face unchanged. She looked at Xiao Yu. ¡°Xiao Yu, call her Sister.¡±

    Xiao Yu was very obedient. ¡°Hello, Sister.¡±

    Jiang Yun looked at Liu Tanyu in a different light.?<i>This woman had a tough personality. No wonder a woman like Zou Man could be yed by Liu Tanyu like this.?</i>

    Jiang Yun¡¯s gaze swept across Liu Tanyu¡¯s face. In the end, she did not say anything and turned to leave.

    The more chaotic the Jiang family was, the better. She liked to see the Jiang family in chaos. This was quite good.

    After leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Yun made a call. ¡°Have you found out?¡±

    ¡°No, we checked the internal list and there¡¯s no one called Xia Yu. Since you¡¯re sure that he¡¯s a special agent, it¡¯s very likely that he participated in a national secret operation, so we can¡¯t find any traces.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± A hint of regret shed across Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes.

    Looking at the horizon in the distance, Jiang Yun was a little confused. For so many days, she had been trying to find Xia Yu, but she had nothing.

    On the vast sea, the huge ship broke through the waves in the sea. White waves were pushed to both sides, waking up the leisurely dolphins not far away.

    ¡°Xia Yu, you¡¯re already like this. Are you still unwilling to go back?¡± His teammate brought a bottle of water over and handed it to Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu¡¯s head and arm were wrapped in bandages, but his expression was very firm. ¡°No, when I came back, I said that I would never return to China unless I finished what I was doing here.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, young man, why are you so stubborn?¡± His teammate looked helpless. ¡°Isn¡¯t that under normal circumstances? You¡¯re already so injured, why do you still want to stay here?¡±

    Xia Yu was silent. His exquisite face seemed to have grown up. The smooth outline had disappeared and he had a strong arc. His eyebrows were also stable.

    His teammate stopped persuading him and could only unscrew the lid and bring the bottle to Xia Yu¡¯s mouth. ¡°Come, take a sip. This is the wine I secretly hid. Don¡¯t let the captain discover it. Seeing that you¡¯re injured, I¡¯ll take it out for you to taste.¡±

    Xia Yu lowered his head and drank arge mouthful.

    ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the half-empty wine bottle, his teammate¡¯s heart ached and he felt helpless. ¡°Brother, this is wine, not water. If you get drunkter, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be thrown into the sea by Captain to feed the sharks.¡±

    After taking a big gulp of wine, Xia Yu felt panic in his throat. However, he liked the feeling of being stimted by alcohol. He wanted to take another sip, but his teammate had already run far away with the bottle.

    Looking at Xia Yu¡¯s deep expression, his teammate hugged the bottle and retreated while shaking his head.?<i>Xia Yu was so young, but he probably had many things hidden in his heart.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since the Ning Yuan Fund was established, countless projects had been established to cooperate with the officials andplete the help of the poor people in poor areas.

    Among the many projects, Xia Wanyuan valued the southwest the most.

    The Northwest region was dedicated to environmental protection. The sand had be an oasis.

    In the southwest, through the introduction of education and employment, the D-grade trade there was reduced.

    However, although this matter was simple, it was as hard as ascending to the sky.

    Further south in the southwest was an unregted hollow area. Countless ck trade grew from here. Those local groups who had already established a huge interest belt here did not allow any outsiders to break the bnce here.

    What those factories and profitable businesses that had been established in the mountains needed wasbor that was like grass.

    And the grass-likebor usually came from poor families.

    Only people who were poor and had no education were the easiest to brainwash and control, bing powerless puppets.

    And the interference of the Ning Yuan Foundation and the officials happened to touch the reverse scale of these interests.

    Set up a school? Burn every one they set up.

    Poverty alleviation? The supplies that the people had just sent were robbed.

    As for the various support organizations that had been established, they were destroyed by some local forces before the foundation could be built.

    If it were those charity organizations in the past, they might have thought of retreating and leave after throwing some money and resources.

    However, in the face of such difficulties, not only did the Ning Yuan Foundation not retreat, but they also joined forces with the officials and forcefully built schools in those uninhabited fields, fluttering square gs on thend filled with ck smoke.

    Such a domineering approach naturally caused a lot of controversy.

    Countless news set off from the southwest and flew to all over the world.

    In the underground clubhouse in Continent M, a group of people surrounded a middle-aged man in the middle.

    There was a sudden knock on the door. The middle-aged man waved his hand and gestured for everyone to leave first.

    After the room was cleared, the person outside walked in. ¡°Boss, the profits of the base we established in China have decreased this year.¡±

    Although the Ning Yuan Fund had not been in the southwest for long, it had strong means and a lot of financial support.

    It opened factories and set up jobs, providing another way for many desperate people to survive.

    Everyone was not stupid. If there was a more dignified way to live, who would be willing to let their entire family be a tool for others to umte wealth?

    Therge number of factories established by the Ning Yuan Fund gradually recruited local people.

    Hence, correspondingly, the number of people who had once flowed to the ck factory slowly decreased. Many profitable industries had stopped without construction workers.

    Every minute and second that they stopped was money flowing away.

    The middle-aged man called boss nced at the report handed over by his subordinate. ¡°Do you still have to ask me about this? Do we send so much money to China every year to raise useless people?¡±

    ]¡±Yes.¡± The subordinate hurriedly lowered his head. ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to contact him immediately.¡±

    After the subordinate left, the middle-aged man thought for a while and found someone to enter the room. ¡°Contact K for me.¡±

    When he received the call from Sea Shark, Yu Qian was sitting in theboratory shaking the test tube in his hand. The green liquid inside looked a little terrifying under the cold light.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice was much colder than the cold equipment in the room.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst time that there was a big business in China? I want to do it now. Bring me along.¡± Because of the loss of arge number of people in Chinast time, Sea Shark still had a grudge in his heart. When he spoke to Yu Qian, his tone was a little dissatisfied.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Sure, sure. Thirty-seventy profit, seventy for me.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!!¡± Sea Shark could barely hide his anger. ¡°Last time, you led our people and failed in China. You haven¡¯t even given me an exnation. Now, you¡¯re splitting it 30-70 with me. Do you think I can¡¯t do anything without you?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was calm as he straightened his body. ¡°In business, one has to be willing. Since you¡¯re unwilling, there¡¯s no need to talk anymore.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian hung up.

    On Sea Shark¡¯s side, the phone suddenly beeped. He was so angry that he threw the phone against the wall. ¡°Damn it!!¡±

    Yu Qian pushed his phone aside and was about to continue observing the liquid in the test tube when Jayce walked in.

    ¡°Boss, Wei Zimu doesn¡¯t seem to be able to hold on anymore.¡±

    Yu Qian paused and ced the test tube back on the shelf. Then, he took off his gloves and strode out. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    In the ss cover, Wei Zimu was curled up on the ground. His white shirt was almost stained with blood.

    Yu Qian walked in and took a look.

    There was a bloody hole pierced by a needle on the back of Wei Zimu¡¯s hand. His originally handsome face was filled with blood and was swollen. His clothes were almost stretched open by his swollen body.

    One could see small dots throbbing in his meridians like little rats. They ran here and there.

    Wei Zimu was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness. Tears mixed with blood flowed from the corners of his eyes.

    Yu Qian squatted down and turned Wei Zimu over.

    Wei Zimu saw a familiar figure in a daze and subconsciously shouted, ¡°Jump, jump.¡±

    Back then, Yu Qian was still a very mischievous child. He was lively and active. Wei Zimu liked this younger brother very much and secretly gave him many nicknames.

    Among them, the name Jump Jump was Yu Qian¡¯s favorite when he was young. Every time Wei Zimu called him that, Yu Qian would show his missing teeth and smile foolishly at him.

    After Wei Zimu said this, hepletely fainted.

    In front of him, Yu Qian looked at his bloody face with no emotions in his eyes. However, when he heard the words ¡°jump jump¡±, his eyes flickered.

    Yu Qian¡¯s medical skills were superb. He knew that Wei Zimu was already close to death. If he was allowed to lie on the ground for more than a minute, Wei Zimu would definitely die.

    Jayce looked at Yu Qian¡¯s cold side profile at the door and secretly gestured outside, signaling his subordinates to be prepared ande in to save Wei Zimu.

    ording to the lesson he had learned from Yu Qian recently, Yu Qian would never let Wei Zimu die.

    As expected, in the next second, Yu Qian said, ¡°Get someone to carry him back to his room.¡±

    The prepared subordinates immediately rushed over and sent Wei Zimu back to his room as quickly as possible.

    Yu Qian followed. ¡°Prepare the surgical equipment.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce nodded respectfully.

    Yu Qian was extremely obsessed with cleanliness. Every ce in his life was basically close to a sterile environment. After his subordinates made simple preparations, Yu Qian began the surgery.

    Wei Zimuy on the bed. Yu Qian held a scalpel and slowly cut open Wei Zimu¡¯s body and stitched him up.

    An hourter, Wei Zimu, who had swelled into a ball, finally returned to normal.

    As the sound of the detector gradually became regr and stable, Wei Zimu slowly opened his eyes.

    When he opened his eyes, he did not see a ss cover. For a moment, he thought he had returned to the Wei family.

    However, in the next moment, Yu Qian¡¯s voice sounded from the side. ¡°You couldn¡¯t hold on after less than a month?¡±

    Wei Zimu turned his head and saw Yu Qian wearing snow-white gloves and holding a scalpel with blood flowing continuously.

    Wei Zimu was injured and could not make a sound. He could only look at Yu Qian sadly.

    He was injected with all sorts of drugs every day and received all sorts of torture. He did not hate Yu Qian at all.

    On the contrary, the more he experienced this, the more his heart ached for Yu Qian.

    He had heard from Jayce that Yu Qian had been abducted here from the age of five until he killed the leader of this ce at the age of fifteen.

    For ten years, he had experienced such torture.

    This was something he could not imagine.

    Sensing the emotions in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes, Yu Qian sneered. ¡°Put away your sympathy and stop doing that. Rest well. I still have a lot of medicine waiting for you to try. Oh right, I forgot to tell you. My warriors need people tofort them. When you recover, I¡¯ll let you go over. Anyway, it¡¯s the same for men and women after the lights are switched off.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian walked out of the room.

    Jayce weed him. ¡°Boss, the experimental medicine for Wei Zimu is outside. When are you going to give it to him?¡±

    Yu Qian looked at him coldly. ¡°Throw it away.¡±

    Jayce looked at Yu Qian in confusion. ¡°Didn¡¯t you make a list for us in the past?¡±

    To be honest, Jayce felt his scalp tingle when he saw the form.

    Jayce had always worked for Old K in this underground world, repeating those actions that had been engraved in his bones since he was young. Before Yu Qian killed Old K, Jayce had never paid attention to Yu Qian.

    After all, at that time, Yu Qian was really too weak. Among all the humans, Yu Qian was from Continent Y. He was the thinnest and looked the easiest to bully. Everyone thought that he would notst more than two months in this undergroundboratory.

    However, no one expected that not only did hest two months, but he even defeated the king of the underworld.

    It took him ten years to do all of this.

    On the list that Yu Qian had given them, he had copied all the experiments he had received.

    There were more than 5,000 types.

    This meant that in those ten years, more than one or two drugs reacted to Yu Qian almost every day.

    There were top doctors in the world here. They could guarantee that Yu Qian would never die even if he wanted to. He could only be used as an experimental field for medicine.

    When Wei Zimu first arrived, Jayce could tell that Yu Qian wanted to experiment all these experiments on Wei Zimu.?<i>Now, Yu Qian said that he wanted to throw them away??</i>

    Jayce could not understand what Yu Qian meant.

    Yu Qian walked forward with a cold expression. ¡°Are your ears not working well? Do you need me to say it again?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡± Jayce put away all his doubts and bowed respectfully. Then he turned and left to inform his subordinates in theboratory.

    Yu Qian strode forward, his handsome face as cold as frost.

    ¡°Boss, it¡¯s a call from Sea Shark.¡± He had just taken a few steps when his subordinate came over with a disinfectant cloth.

    Yu Qian pressed the answer button, and Sea Shark¡¯s rough voice came. ¡°K, 4-6, do you agree?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression turned slightly cold. ¡°Do you think there¡¯s any room to change what I¡¯ve said?¡±

    ¡°Are you really not going to give me face?¡± Sea Shark sounded a little angry. As a big crocodile whose tentacles extended to all parts of the world, Sea Shark was quite famous in the entire underground world. It had never touched such a soft nail.

    Other than this K, who had repeatedly embarrassed him.

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°Are you talking about face when talking about benefits?¡±

    Sea Shark was silent for a while. No matter how much he wanted to get someone to bomb K¡¯s stronghold, he knew in his heart that

    He could not do it himself.

    The new K was ruthless and cunning. Although he did not want to admit it, he had to admit that this K had the capital to be arrogant. He had indeed earned a lot of money by doing business with him.

    In the end, Sea Sharkpromised. ¡°Okay, I agree. You¡¯re really cunning. No wonder you can expand your business so much.¡±

    Yu Qian sneered.<i>?It was all for benefits. If not for benefits, Sea Shark would notpromise.?</i>¡°Do you know where thergest market in the world is?¡±

    Sea Shark pursed its lips. ¡°Don¡¯t I know? We spent so much effortst time, but didn¡¯t we still fail to infiltrate? That damn ce in China is guarded like an iron wall.¡±

    Sea Shark was a native of Continent M, so he naturally could not understand China¡¯s management method.

    They could basically infiltrate all the countries in the world through underground channels and use their capital to control the upper echelons. Then, they could use the power in the upper echelons¡¯ hands to make their illegal transactions legal and further make their existence reasonable through thew.

    However, only China could not be infiltrated. This was a ce where power was greater than capital. No matter how big the capital was, they could not cause trouble.

    In particr, there was a point that gave Sea Shark a headache.

    China had dealt too much of a blow to the existence of D-grade. This was an important source of their lucrative industry chain. However, China had been too strict with this, causing them to repeatedly hit a wall. They could only earn some money through some corners.

    However, because China¡¯s market was too huge, even the money revealed in the corners made them rich.

    This was also the reason Sea Shark kept failing in China but still wanted to make aeback.

    Yu Qian took his phone and sat on the sofa at the side. He tapped his index finger on hisp. ¡°You haven¡¯t heard of a Chinese saying that a thousand miles of dam copses at the ants¡¯ nest.¡±

    The strongest defense was often not broken from the outside.

    It was usually internal.

    As for China, which had such arge area, if they wanted to dig a few holes from the inside,

    As long as they dug the right ce, it would fall apart easily.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Sea Shark frowned, confusion shing across its eyes.

    ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m hanging up,¡± Yu Qian said and hung up. Then, he threw the phone aside and scolded softly, ¡°Idiot.¡±

    On Sea Shark¡¯s side, hearing the beeping sound on the phone, he picked up the phone angrily and threw it against the wall opposite. ¡°Damn K, if not for the resources in your hands, I would have killed you!¡±

    The assistant hurriedly walked forward. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t be angry. Someone from the Blue family is here and wants to see you.¡±

    When Sea Shark heard this, his anger subsided slightly. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go over now.¡±

    On Yu Qian¡¯s side, he hung up the phone. He looked at the light not far away with a nk expression. No one knew what he was thinking until Jayce walked over.

    ¡°Boss, Young Master Wei is awake.¡±

    Only then did Yu Qian seem toe back to his senses. He stood up and walked towards Wei Zimu¡¯s room.

    The room Wei Zimu was living in was no longer the ss-walledboratory that was mixed with hundreds of people. Instead, it was a separate and beautifully decorated bedroom.

    The swelling on his body had already disappeared. In order to treat his wound, his old clothes had been cut open. At this moment, he was wrapped in gauze and ayer of loose pajamas.

    Hearing footsteps, Wei Zimu turned around. When he saw Yu Qian, his lips moved. ¡°Brother.¡±

    Yu Qian waved his hand and everyone retreated. He walked forward and sat by the bed. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s rare to hear you call me brother.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve suffered.¡± Wei Zimu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with sorrow.

    He had only been doing experiments for a few days, but he was already in so much pain that he wanted to die. It was hard to imagine how Yu Qian had spent those ten years.

    Yu Qian¡¯s eyes did not waver. He nced at Wei Zimu. ¡°Don¡¯t be sorrowful when the incident is long over. I¡¯ll give you a week to recover. I need you to do a mission.¡±

    Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡±

    Yu Qian nced at him before turning to leave.

    Seeing Yu Qian¡¯s back disappear at the door, Wei Zimuy back down and turned to face the other side of the bed.

    This side was outside the surveince range of the room.

    At this moment, the sorrow in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes retreated and was reced by deep worry.

    He nced at the wounds on his body and frowned slightly.

    In the years since he had reunited with Yu Qian, he had helped Yu Qian do many things, but he had never entered this core underground world.

    This time, probably because he hadpletely given up on China, Yu Qian hadpletely let down his guard about him, so he brought him in.

    From some of the situations in the past few days,

    This underground world must not be under the supervision of the secr world. It was like an invisible area, lurking in an unknown ce and extending tentacles to the world.

    On the way to this room, he stimted himself to stay awake. Along the way, he observed that there were cameras everywhere. The possibility of escaping was zero.

    Wei Zimu touched the spot under his ear. It was as t as ever and there was no trace of it.

    Hearing the sound behind him, Wei Zimu closed his eyes. The only thing he could do now was to take it one step at a time.

    Jayce pressed the gun against Wei Zimu¡¯s back. ¡°Young Master Wei?¡±

    He shouted a few times, but seeing that Wei Zimu did not react, he put away his gun and gestured for the doctor to continue treating him.

    ¡ª¡ª

    China,

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was tutoring Xiao Bao on his homework.

    Seeing Xiao Bao write the correct answer word by word, Xia Wanyuan was a little relieved.

    She always heard her colleaguesin to her that no matter how high their academic qualifications were, they still had no advantage in tutoring children.

    They tutored their child every day and it was chaotic. Sometimes, they even wondered if the child who could not even memorize the multiplication table was born by them, the professors of Qing University.

    After Xiao Bao finished writing an answer, he turned to look at Xia Wanyuan with dimples on his face. ¡°Mommy, am I super smart?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and pinched his face. ¡°Mm, you¡¯re the smartest.¡±

    Xiao Bao smiled and revealed his canine teeth. ¡°It¡¯s all because Mommy taught me well.¡±

    Not far away, Jun Shiling, who was reading the newspaper, looked up at Xiao Bao and snorted softly.

    It was unknown who had already angered five tutors away. Jun Yin was only very obedient in front of Xia Wanyuan. In front of others, he was simply a devil incarnate. No one could control him.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xiao Bao secretly hid behind Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, look at Daddy. He¡¯s going to be fierce to me again.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in amusement, signaling him not to disturb Xiao Bao¡¯s homework.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gazended on Xiao Bao and warned him before looking away and reading the newspaper again.

    Xiao Bao secretly stuck out his tongue. ¡°Mommy, is Daddy very fierce?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Why do you always provoke him? Isn¡¯t your father good enough to you?¡±

    Xiao Bao thought for a while. ¡°Daddy treats me quite well, but he always hogs Mommy. I like Mommy very much too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°I like you very much too.¡±

    ¡°Hehe ~¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes were filled with attachment. ¡°Mommy, I like you so much. Will you always be by my side?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll always be by your side.¡±

    Only then did Xiao Bao happily do his homework again.

    Xiao Bao had inherited Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perfect intelligence and did not need any guidance from Xia Wanyuan. After watching him write for a while, Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked upstairs.

    Not far away, Jun Shiling, who was still reading the newspaper seriously, sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions immediately. He put the newspaper aside and followed Xia Wanyuan upstairs.

    Beside the desk, Xiao Bao, who was quietly doing questions, suddenly looked up at Jun Shiling¡¯s back. He pursed his lips.<i>?Hmph, bad Daddy.?</i>

    However, Xiao Bao did not stop Jun Shiling. Instead, he continued to do his homework.

    Upstairs, Xia Wanyuan had just entered the bedroom when a pair of iron arms wrapped around her waist.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s arm in amusement. ¡°Xiao Bao is still waiting for me downstairs. Can you watch it?¡±

    Jun Shiling kissed her cheek. ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. I just want toe and hug you.¡±

    ¡°You hug me every day.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan did not reject him, Jun Shiling always wanted to be intimate with her regardless of the asion. Sometimes, it made her feel very uneptable.

    Jun Shiling clicked his tongue. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re abandoning me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°Alright, stop fooling around. Go down and teach Xiao Bao his homework. I¡¯m going to shower.¡±

    Hearing that Xia Wanyuan wanted to take a shower, Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing became erratic.

    However, after spending some time together, Xia Wanyuan, who already knew Jun Shiling very well, had long sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts. She reached out and pushed Jun Shiling out the door.

    Then, with a click, the door was locked.

    Jun Shiling shook his head helplessly outside and could only go downstairs to tutor Xiao Bao in doing his homework.

    From the corner of his eye, Xiao Bao saw Jun Shiling walking over. He did not know the answer he had originally written.

    ¡°What¡¯s four times nine?¡±

    Xiao Bao said in a childish voice, ¡°Twenty-eight.¡±

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze, Xiao Bao hurriedly covered his mouth. ¡°Thirty-six.¡±

    ¡°Nine times nine?¡±

    ¡°Eighteen.¡±

    ¡°Three times six.¡±

    ¡°Twelve.¡±

    ¡­.

    Half an hourter, Xia Wanyuan came out of the shower. Xiao Bao was guarding the door with tears in his eyes. When he saw Xia Wanyuan, it was as if he had seen his savior. ¡°Mommy, Daddy is fierce to me. He wants to hit me.¡±

    Downstairs, Jun Shiling¡¯s face darkened.

    Xia Wanyuan squatted down and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Did you deliberately make him angry?¡±

    Xiao Bao shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡±

    <i>I just didn¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t deliberately make my father angry.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao downstairs and flipped through his homework. ¡°You really don¡¯t know how to do it?¡±

    With Xiao Bao¡¯s intelligence, it was just a mere multiplication table that posed no problem.

    Xiao Bao leaned towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, Daddy is useless. I don¡¯t like him anymore.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s cold gaze almost frightened Xiao Bao¡¯s heart out, but he still hid behind Xia Wanyuan and stubbornly raised his head.

    ¡°Then tell me, what happened to him?¡±

    Xiao Bao secretly nced at Jun Shiling. Xiao Bao, who was only four years old and had nevere into contact with any biological knowledge, was very calm and naive. ¡°Daddy hogs Mommy every day and hasn¡¯t given birth to a sister for me. Hmph, Daddy is useless.¡±

    <i>The sister I wanted every day!!?</i>

    <i>For this sister, I endured the pain and gave my mommy to my father. I slept obediently every day and did my homework.</i>

    <i>It was to have a younger sister who looked like a doll, who was especially cute and would sweetly call me brother, earlier.</i>

    <i>But Daddy was too useless!! I am very angry!</i>

    When Xiao Bao said this, Jun Shiling¡¯s face darkened. Xia Wanyuan smiled gloatingly.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was getting uglier and uglier, Xia Wanyuan leaned down and whispered something into Xiao Bao¡¯s ear. Xiao Bao¡¯s bright eyes blinked thoughtfully.

    Then, Xiao Bao pursed his lips and walked hesitantly to Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, I wronged you. I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    With that, as if afraid that Jun Shiling would settle scores with himter, Xiao Bao picked up his homework and ran upstairs, afraid that Jun Shiling would stop him.

    However, Jun Shiling was not paying attention to Xiao Bao at all. He nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was pursing her lips to suppress herughter. ¡°Tell me, what did you say to him?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh. ¡°Nothing.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling stepped forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°You heard what Shen Xiu saidst time. He said that there¡¯s nothing wrong with our bodies.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded seriously. ¡°I know.¡±

    However, the faint smile in her eyes still revealed her current mood.

    Jun Shiling gritted his teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t you know if I have a problem?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and patted Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Yes, yes. Didn¡¯t I say nothing? Why are you so angry?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling snorted coldly. ¡°We¡¯ll definitely have a daughter.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Mm, mm, mm. There will be, there will be. Our CEO Jun is the most amazing. How many do you want? Two? Three? Four?¡±

    Jun Shiling red at her. ¡°Shut up. Four? I won¡¯t let you give birth even if you want to. It¡¯ll hurt your health.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart warmed. Her eyes curved into crescents as she leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Our CEO Jun is so good.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged her waist. ¡°Let¡¯s go up and sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. ¡°So early?¡±

    Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and whispered into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, ¡°It¡¯s not early anymore. If I don¡¯t work hard, my son will say that I¡¯m useless.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh again. Jun Shiling grabbed her waist and she eximed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Night fell, and most ces in the city had already fallen silent.

    However, the hospital was still filled with people. The boundary between life and death was interwoven here, and great sorrow and joy yed out here at all times.

    In the ward, Zou Man was cooperating with the doctor¡¯s examination.

    ¡°Doctor, may I ask if it¡¯s really difficult for me to have children in the future?¡± Zou Man held her stomach and lowered her head. Her voice was a little low.

    ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true. It¡¯s just that the probability will be extremely low. The possibility of natural conception is very low.¡± The doctor had seen many such situations and understood the pain of mothers. She looked at Zou Man sympathetically. ¡°If you really want a child in the future, you can choose IVF.¡±

    Zou Man touched her t stomach.

    A few days ago, there was a new little life inside.

    Even though she hated Jiang Kui, that child was nurtured in her body and had her blood and bones. Sometimes, when she dreamed at midnight, she could feel that child¡¯s heartbeat.

    Even if she went through IVF in the future, it could not rece the weight of this lost child in her heart.

    ¡°Thank you, Doctor. I understand.¡± Zou Man forced a smile.

    After the doctor¡¯s examination, Jiang Kui walked in.

    There was a good saying that when a woman did not love a man, it was often the time when she could easily capture his love.

    Especially when this woman still knew this man very well.

    In just two days, Zou Man made Jiang Kui warm up to her again.

    ¡°Manman, how is it? Do you feel okay?¡±

    Zou Man raised her head with a sad and fragile smile, looking very lovable. ¡°I¡¯m fine. How¡¯s your situation with Father? He didn¡¯t scold you, right?¡±

    Initially, Jiang Kui was very angry after being angered by Father Jiang. Now that he saw that Zou Man still cared about him when she was in so much pain, his heart felt a little warm. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can settle it.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t your project very sessful? Why is Father criticizing you again?¡± Zou Man asked calmly.

    Now that Zou Man was already the daughter-inw of the Jiang family, Jiang Kui did not hide it from her. ¡°It¡¯s all because of Jiang Yun, my good-for-nothing sister. Her business overseas has contributed a lot to the corporation this year. Father values her very much and promoted her to be the finance department head of the corporation.¡±

    In terms of position, Jiang Yun was only a department head, while Jiang Kui was the general manager. The two of them had a superior-subordinate rtionship.

    However, Jiang Kui was not stupid. The finance department represented the core of a corporation. That was where money was controlled. As the general manager, if he wanted to use money, he had to rely on the finance department.

    <i>Father Jiang suddenly handed the finance department to Jiang Yun. Wasn¡¯t this clearly asking me to look at Jiang Yun¡¯s expression?</i>

    Zou Man reached out and held Jiang Kui¡¯s arm, gently stroking it twice. ¡°Hubby, no matter how amazing Jiang Yun is, she¡¯s still a woman. Many times, there are too many ways to destroy a woman.¡±

    Jiang Kui lowered his head and his eyes lit up. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    The corners of Zou Man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She raised an eyebrow at Jiang Kui. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re so smart. Do you still have to ask me?¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s expression was a little seductive and arrogant, but her actions showed her dependence on Jiang Kui.

    She knew very well that a man like Jiang Kui, who was arrogant and inferior, liked this the most.

    As expected, a smile appeared on Jiang Kui¡¯s face. He lowered his head and kissed Zou Man on the cheek. ¡°Of course my baby is smarter. Tell me, what should I do?¡±

    Zou Man¡¯s hand slid down Jiang Kui¡¯s arm and past his waistline. Only when Jiang Kui¡¯s breathing was a little unstable did she smile and say, ¡°Then if I help you get Jiang Yun off the stage, how are you going to repay me?¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Jiang Kui looked at Zou Man¡¯s bright eyes and was a little puzzled.

    <i>Why didn¡¯t I realize before that Zou Man was quite interesting? Could it be that I lost interest after being together for a long time??</i>

    <i>From the looks of it, Zou Man was still the one who knew my inner thoughts the best.</i>

    Zou Man lowered her eyes. ¡°Xiao Yu is your biological child. It¡¯s only right for you to bring him back, but you can¡¯t bring that Liu Tanyu back. What will I do if you bring her back? I can¡¯t lose you.¡±

    As Zou Man spoke, her tears dripped onto the nket one by one, making Jiang Kui¡¯s heart soften. ¡°I promise you. As long as you help me chase Jiang Yun out of thepany, I promise I won¡¯t talk to that Liu Tanyu.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Zou Man looked up with tears in her eyes.

    ¡°Really.¡± Jiang Kui was scalded by the tears in her eyes and subconsciously reached out to wipe her tears.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Only then did Zou Man¡¯s tears turn into a smile. She whispered a few words into Jiang Kui¡¯s ear. The more Jiang Kui listened, the brighter his eyes became.

    He looked at Zou Man excitedly. ¡°How did you know about these things?¡±

    Zou Man smiled smugly.?<i>Of course I knew.?</i>

    Back then, when she still treated Xia Wanyuan as her lifelong enemy, she would try her best to pay attention to everyone around Xia Wanyuan.

    The two of them did not hide Jiang Yun and Xia Yu¡¯s matter. As long as they investigated carefully, everything could be grasped.

    ¡°Don¡¯t care how I know.¡± Zou Man leaned into Jiang Kui¡¯s arms. ¡°Anyway, do as I say. The Jiang family will definitely be yours in the future.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jiang Kui hugged Zou Man. One of his faces was filled with joy as he fantasized about the beautiful dream of the Jiang family¡¯s assets belonging to him. The other lowered his head and his eyes changed. It was unknown what he was thinking.

    The ward was very quiet.

    In the VIP room not far from Zou Man¡¯s ward, Wei Jin was doing rehabilitation training with Mu Feng¡¯s help.

    ¡°Wife, do you know that An Rao is getting married?¡± After a period of recuperation, Mu Feng looked much better.

    Wei Jin nodded and blushed. She nced at her mother not far away and gave Mu Feng a look. ¡°My mother is here. Don¡¯t call me darling and wife for no reason.¡±

    Mu Feng flipped the silver hair on his shoulder and smiled at Wei Jin¡¯s mother with white teeth. Then, he called out loudly, ¡°Mom, is the apple sweet?¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s mother, Cheng Yi, was stunned. Then, she nodded unnaturally with a smile in her eyes. ¡°Pretty good, pretty good.¡±

    Only then did Mu Feng turn around and wink at Wei Jin. ¡°See? Our mother didn¡¯t say anything. Why are you so shy?¡±

    Wei Jin was embarrassed and angry. She pinched Mu Feng¡¯s arm angrily, but Mu Feng did not feel any pain. He even felt sweet in his heart and only smiled at Wei Jin.

    When Lu Li walked to the door of the ward with her things, she saw Wei Jin and Mu Feng flirting.

    Cheng Yi saw her and was about to call her in when Lu Li waved her hand and mouthed to Cheng Yi, ¡°I won¡¯t go in. I still have something on.¡±

    With that, Lu Li ced the things she had made for Wei Jin by the door and quietly retreated.

    Lu Li ced a portion of food at Wei Jin¡¯s door with another in her hand.

    She made a call. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m at Beijing Hospital now. Where are you?¡±

    After the other party gave an address, Lu Li nodded and went to the address given by the other party.

    Lu Li was worried that the soup would be cold, so she called a taxi.

    At night in Beijing, the congested road was still crowded with people. When Lu Li arrived at the designated location, it was more than five minutes before the other party had agreed to meet her.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?! You made me wait here for so long?!¡± Seeing Lu Li walk over, Ding Shanshan frowned and reprimanded her unhappily. ¡°You did it on purpose, right?¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with anger. ¡°Miss Ding, I agreed to cook for you, but I didn¡¯t agree to listen to you scold me. Please control yourself.¡±

    Ding Shanshan was stunned. ¡°Ha.¡±

    She had always thought that Lu Li was an easy pushover. She did not expect Lu Li to be so soft on the outside but so unyielding on the inside. Her temper was quite hard. ¡°Where¡¯s the thing?¡±

    ¡°Here.¡± Lu Li handed all the lunch boxes in her hand to Ding Shanshan. ¡°Drink some soup first before eating. I also ced some stomach-nourishing herbs. If he doesn¡¯t like it, tell me. I won¡¯t put them next time.¡±

    Ding Shanshan walked back impatiently. It was so cold that she was freezing to death. ¡°Got it. You¡¯re acting as if you¡¯re his girlfriend. Can you recognize your identity and stop pointing fingers there?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1144: Ulterior Motive; Shocking the Inte</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Ding Shanshan left in a hurry. Lu Li held the soup the entire way and did not spill a drop. Ding Shanshan had only taken a few steps when soup slowly seeped out of the bag.

    Lu Li watched anxiously from behind, but there was nothing she could do. She sighed. ¡°Seriously, why isn¡¯t this person attentive at all!¡±

    Lu Li was not stupid. From the moment Ding Shanshan looked for her and said a few words, she knew what Ding Shanshan was thinking. However, she still agreed in the end.

    After all, she knew that Xuan Sheng hated her, but she could not bear to let Xuan Sheng ruin his body like this.

    Until now, Lu Li still did not understand what she liked about Xuan Sheng. However, the only thing she could be sure of was that her heart ached for Xuan Sheng and she hoped that Xuan Sheng would treat himself well.

    Ding Shanshan had suggested asking her to be a chef with the excuse of eating it herself, but Lu Li knew very well that these things would eventually be sent to Xuan Sheng.

    She pointed out Ding Shanshan¡¯s lie. Just as she was about to fly into a rage out of humiliation, Lu Li agreed again.

    As long as the food was eaten by Xuan Sheng in the end, it did not matter if she made it or not.

    In Glory World Corporation, Xiao Wang had just arranged for a meeting to be prepared. The moment he left the meeting room, he saw Ding Shanshan walking over with her things.

    Xiao Wang frowned tightly. His girlfriend¡¯s best friend had wanted to ask about CEO Xuan many times, but he had stopped her in the end.

    <i>She actually came to thepany openly again. What did she want?</i>

    Xiao Wang walked forward. ¡°Miss Ding, do you have an appointment? This is the floor where our CEO Xuan¡¯s office is located. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter.¡±

    Ding Shanshan, who had always been rejected by Xiao Wang, now had some pride. She looked at Xiao Wang disdainfully. ¡°Xiao Wang, who talks to me like this? Am I called an outsider? Does your CEO Xuan admit this?¡±

    Xiao Wang¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    At that moment, the meeting room door behind him opened and Xuan Sheng walked out.

    Ding Shanshan walked forward in surprise. ¡°Ah Sheng, is your meeting over?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at the surprised assistant and shifted his gaze to Ding Shanshan. He nodded. ¡°Mm, follow me into the office.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Ding Shanshan turned her head and looked at Xiao Wang smugly. Then, she picked up the bag that was already seeping water. ¡°I made delicious food for you.¡±

    Xiao Wang¡¯s gazended on the familiar bag and his eyes widened.?<i>Wasn¡¯t this the bag that Little Lizi sent food in every day? Why was it in Ding Shanshan¡¯s hands??</i>

    However, no one could answer his doubts. While he was stunned, Xuan Sheng had already brought Ding Shanshan into the office.

    The moment he entered the office, Xuan Sheng pulled his arm out of Ding Shanshan¡¯s palm. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and leaned back on the sofa.

    Even in the office, Xuan Sheng did not wear a formal tie and suit. He unbuttoned two buttons of a white shirt, revealing his seductive corbone.

    Ding Shanshan was dazzled by his devilish and handsome appearance. She walked to his side with the box. ¡°It¡¯s sote. I made you some supper.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked down at the bag with the smallce printed on it. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. ¡°Really? Didn¡¯t you hurt your hand?¡±

    Ding Shanshan subconsciously retracted her right hand.

    Back then, Ding Shanshan was afraid that Xuan Sheng would ask her to continue cooking for him, so she went to the hospital and wrote a fake certificate. Now that she had found someone to rece her in cooking, there was no need to continue pretending.

    Ding Shanshan moved her right hand slightly. ¡°Yes, I was injured, but my heart ached for you. I thought that you must be very hungry after such a long meeting at night, so I made you some food. Don¡¯t worry, it doesn¡¯t hurt.¡±

    As Ding Shanshan spoke, she took out the things in the lunch box.

    There were stir-fried cucumbers, stewed chicken, stewed prawns, and snow-white crab meat with the shell removed.

    Just looking at it made one¡¯s appetite increase.

    Xuan Sheng took a puff of his cigarette. ¡°It¡¯s really hard on you. Your hand is injured and you made so many things.¡±

    Ding Shanshan smiled awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡±

    In her heart, Ding Shanshan was about to scold Lu Li to death.?<i>This wretched girl was clearly doing it on purpose. She had made so many good dishes. Wasn¡¯t she clearly trying to let Xuan Sheng realize that I didn¡¯t make it myself??</i>

    ¡°I asked the auntie at home to help me.¡± Ding Shanshan tried to exin.

    However, Xuan Sheng did not look like he wanted to hear her speak. He stubbed out his cigarette, picked up a piece of prawn with his chopsticks, and spat it out. ¡°It tastes bad.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Ding Shanshan looked panicked.?<i>Could it be that Lu Li, that little hussy, was up to no good??</i>

    She continued to observe Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression in surprise and bewilderment, only to see Xuan Sheng continuously throwing food out, with every pick of his chopstick. It was only when he drank the soup that his expression improved a little. ¡°This soup is not bad.¡±

    Ding Shanshan finally calmed down.<i>?It seemed that it was only because Xuan Sheng was too picky.</i>

    Xuan Sheng slowly drank the soup. Ding Shanshan wanted to sit beside him.

    ¡°Stand.¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze was on the meat in the soup, but his words were directed at Ding Shanshan.

    Ding Shanshan forced a smile. ¡°Ah Sheng, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I have a strange temper?¡± Xuan Sheng smiled and nced at Ding Shanshan.

    Ding Shanshan felt her heart turn cold from his gaze. Sheughed dryly. ¡°How is that possible? That¡¯s all nonsense from outsiders. Ah Sheng, your temper is clearly very good.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Really? Didn¡¯t anyone tell you that I¡¯m a clean freak?¡± Xuan Sheng began to drink the soup spoonful by spoonful.

    Ding Shanshan stood in front of Xuan Sheng, not knowing what to do.

    Half an hour passed, but Xuan Sheng still ignored Ding Shanshan.

    Ding Shanshan was angry and anxious. She could not figure out what Xuan Sheng meant. Just as she had reached the point of anger, Xuan Sheng finally finished his soup and seemed to have noticed Ding Shanshan. ¡°Why are you still standing? My heart will ache if you stand.¡±

    ¡°Then¡­¡± Ding Shanshan was a little afraid of Xuan Sheng now. She hesitated. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re a clean freak?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nodded. ¡°Yes, so you can sit on the sofa over there.¡±

    Anger shed across Ding Shanshan¡¯s eyes. She felt that Xuan Sheng might be humiliating her.

    However, just as this thought appeared, Xuan Sheng suddenly took out a box from the side.

    ¡°By the way, this is for you. It looks beautiful, so I bought it for you.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, the box in Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand was opened.

    A colorful ne was lying on the purple velvet cloth, making it look even more noble and elegant.

    ¡°So beautiful. Is this for me?!¡± The shining ne immediately stole Ding Shanshan¡¯s attention. She looked at the ne in front of her excitedly. ¡°This looks very expensive.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the same value as you.¡± A smile shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. He handed the box to Ding Shanshan, who hurriedly and carefully took it.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s generosity made Ding Shanshan feel that she had suspected Xuan Sheng just now because she was too petty. She wanted to say something more to Xuan Sheng, but he had already stood up.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯ste. I¡¯ll get someone to send you back.¡±

    ¡°Ah Sheng, it¡¯s toote in our apartment building. The guard won¡¯t open the door anymore.¡± Ding Shanshan looked at the ne in her hand and hinted at Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng did not seem to understand. ¡°Just get the chauffeur to wake the guard up. If you really can¡¯t, get the chauffeur to book a hotel for you. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng took Ding Shanshan away without allowing her to retort.

    When Ding Shanshan left Glory World Corporation, it was already around ten in the evening.

    At this moment, the pedestrians and cars on the street had already begun to slowly decrease. Xuan Sheng drove slowly along the street.

    Two stops away from Glory World Corporation, he saw Lu Li leisurely riding an electric scooter.

    She looked quite happy. Her eyes were lively like a butterfly.

    Although Ding Shanshan was a little arrogant, Lu Li was still quite happy that she could help her send the food to Xuan Sheng.

    She hummed as she rushed home.

    The early spring air had a sweet fragrance of nts and flowers. It easily reminded Lu Li of the times when she and her friends chased fireflies and looked at the stars in the night sky.

    Lu Li¡¯s thoughts were in a mess. Unknowingly, she arrived at her building.

    The streetmp in front of the building had been shattered by naughty children in the past two days. Now, it looked dark and a little scary.

    Lu Li rummaged through her bag, wanting to find the shlight.

    Not far away, headlights suddenly lit up, illuminating the ce.

    Lu Li turned around and saw a ck SUV. She guessed that it was a kind owner.

    Hence, Lu Li waved her hand to express her gratitude. Then, she carried her bag and walked into the building.

    It was only when the lights on the eighth floor where Lu Li lived lit up that the ck SUV downstairs extinguished its headlights and left the neighborhood.

    In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Li looked at the document his assistant had brought in with a mocking expression.

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have deep feelings for Xia Wanyuan? What¡¯s wrong with him recently? Why does he like such a person?¡±

    The assistant ced Xuan Sheng¡¯s past information in front of Xuan Li. ¡°Xuan Sheng used to be a person who lived in the flowers. Now, he¡¯s just bringing up old matters. Which of his things can be on the table?¡±

    Xuan Li sneered. ¡°He¡¯s quite good at ying. Get someone to interact with his girlfriend No matter what, she¡¯s my sister-inw. I should visit her.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the assistant left, Xuan Li looked at Ding Shanshan¡¯s photo again. He found a photo of Xia Wanyuan online forparison.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan only had a side profile, it still made Xuan Li¡¯s heart sway.

    Xuan Li turned his neck, feeling a little suspicious.

    ording to his understanding of Xuan Sheng, Xuan Sheng¡¯s taste was not so bad. Suddenly, he went from loving the spring snow to liking the bottom people. No matter how he looked at it, this matter was strange.

    The night deepened, pulling all the haze into the darkness.

    ¡ª¡ª

    China had already fallen into darkness. At this moment, in the leisurely afternoon in France,

    In the tall ancient castle, well-dressed servants and maids were carrying afternoon tea and pastries to the garden.

    Ennd had always been rainy and cold. Today was a rare sunny day. The warm sunlight shone on one¡¯s body, making them feel warm.

    ¡°Young Master An Luo, the piano teacher is already here. Are you going to the piano room?¡± The well-dressed butler stood respectfully at the side.

    An Luo opened his eyes. His blue eyes were as gentle as the blue waves under the sunlight. ¡°Where¡¯s Brother?¡±

    ¡°Young Master is busy with his own matters.¡± The butler looked at An Luo lovingly. ¡°He instructed you to drink less coffee. He¡¯ll check when hees backter.¡±

    An Luo puffed up his cheeks, his golden hair shining beautifully in the sunlight. ¡°He doesn¡¯t even apany me.¡±

    <i>He agreed toe and ride with me when the weather was good. My brother is a liar. Hmph.?</i>

    ¡°You know that Young Master is very busy.¡± The butler persuaded An Luo helplessly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care. I want to look for him,¡± An Luo said as he stood up and ran into the distance. The butler wanted to stop him, but he could not.

    In this castle, other than An Lin, there was no one else who could control An Luo.

    An Luo ran straight to An Lin¡¯s study.

    There seemed to be someone in the study, and they could vaguely hear voices.

    Words like ¡°secret¡± and ¡°erase¡± seeped out from the marble wall from time to time.

    An Luo wanted to lean closer to listen, but before his ear could touch the door, it was opened.

    ¡°An Luo, what are you doing?¡± An Lin¡¯s expression was very serious. In his impression, An Luo had never seen An Lin have such a terrifying expression.

    It was as if he had caused a huge disaster.

    An Luo pursed his lips. ¡°You¡¯re not apanying me. You promised to ride with me when the sun is shining.¡±

    Behind An Lin, An Luo saw someone walking. He stomped his feet and wanted to look over An Lin¡¯s shoulder to see who was inside, but An Lin stopped him. ¡°Go back and practice the piano. Don¡¯t make me angry.¡±

    ¡°Brother?¡± An Luo felt a little wronged.?<i>It was clearly my brother who did not keep his word. Why does it seem like I¡¯m the one in the wrong now??</i>

    The corners of An Lin¡¯s lips sank, and he looked extremely serious. An Luo red at him angrily and turned to leave.

    After An Luo left, An Lin turned around and looked at the person sitting at the desk.

    ¡°Continue. That was my younger brother just now. He¡¯s insensible. Don¡¯t worry, he didn¡¯t hear anything.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The person who spoke had a very young voice. The ng was not very standard, and it was obvious that he was not local.

    When the setting sun gradually hid under the horizon,

    The office door that had been closed for the entire afternoon was finally opened. Two men in suits walked out together.

    An Lin watched the guest leave, his deep eyes inexplicably deep.

    After a while, he turned around and walked towards the garden.

    When the butler saw An Lin, it was as if he had seen his savior. ¡°Young Master, quickly go and see Young Master An Luo. He¡¯s very sad.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± An Lin nodded and followed the butler to the piano room.

    In the piano room, the teacher had long been chased away by An Luo.

    In the middle of the huge piano room was a beautiful transparent piano. On the piano was a family photo.

    Between the handsome man and beautiful woman were two exquisitely carved babies.

    An Luo was in a daze as he looked at the photo. The afterglow of the setting sunnded on his golden hair, inexplicably painting it with ayer of sad dark gold.

    Hearing footsteps, An Luo looked up at An Lin, pursed his lips, and turned around with his back facing An Lin.

    An Lin¡¯s usually serious eyes were filled with a smile. He walked forward and stroked An Luo¡¯s soft hair. ¡°Are you angry?¡±

    It was fine when An Lin did note, but when An Lin came, An Luo felt even more wronged. He held back his tears. ¡°You promised me that you would ride with me, yet you¡¯re still fierce to me. You¡¯re not good to me at all.¡±

    An Lin took out the handkerchief on his chest and gently wiped the tears off An Luo¡¯s face. ¡°Silly brother, I know I skipped the appointment. I¡¯m sorry. The next time there¡¯s sunlight, I¡¯ll definitely apany you, okay?¡±

    ]¡±I don¡¯t believe you, liar.¡± An Luo turned around and did not let An Lin wipe his tears.

    An Lin patted An Luo¡¯s shoulder and sat on a chair. ¡°All along, I¡¯ve wanted you to grow up without any worries, so I never wanted you to get involved in the family dispute.¡±

    An Lin¡¯s tone suddenly became very strange. An Luo secretly turned his head and looked at An Lin. He happened to meet An Lin¡¯s blue eyes. An Luo hurriedly turned around.

    An Lin smiled. ¡°But, Brother, you have to grow up eventually. I want to apany you every day, but reality doesn¡¯t allow it. I want you to drink afternoon tea happily in the garden, so I can¡¯t rx at all.¡±

    An Luo looked at An Lin again. He leaned over in embarrassment. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m not really angry with you.¡±

    He was just habitually throwing a tantrum because he thought that his brother would definitely coax him.

    An Luo¡¯s intelligence far exceeded that of his peers. How could he not understand what An Lin had said?

    It was just that with his brother supporting him, he naturally wanted to be a child.

    ¡°I know.¡± An Lin reached out, and An Luo consciously rubbed his head against him.

    ¡°Brother, have you been especially busy recently?¡± In An Luo¡¯s impression, An Lin had not been so busy in a long time. He was so busy that it was very difficult for An Luo to see him, which was why he was so calctive about whether An Lin could ride with him.

    An Lin sighed. ¡°A little, so you have to be obedient and practice the piano properly. You¡¯re not allowed to bezy.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Luo nodded, his blue eyes filled with dependence on An Lin. ¡°Then when you¡¯re not busy, you must apany me well.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Lin reached out and hugged An Luo. ¡°Why have you lost weight recently? Eat properly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Luo nodded obediently.

    After coaxing An Luo, An Lin stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, An Lin turned around.

    An Luo was like an untainted angel, sitting quietly by the piano and waving at him with a smile.

    The corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up into a smile, but his heart was heavy.

    He returned to his bedroom. The doctor was already waiting at the door. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s the medicine?¡± An Lin frowned slightly and held his chest tightly.

    ¡°Here.¡± The doctor hurriedly stepped forward and handed the medicine to An Lin. ¡°Young Master, you have to undergo the surgery as soon as possible. Otherwise¡­¡±

    The doctor did not dare to continue, but everyone present knew.

    ¡°Wait until after An Luo¡¯s birthday.¡± An Lin swallowed a few pills, his breathing a little irregr.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Hearing An Lin mention An Luo, everyone present was silent.

    Everyone knew how good An Lin and An Luo¡¯s rtionship was. If anything really happened to An Lin, no one dared to imagine what would happen to An Luo.

    ¡ª¡ª

    China, a new day started.

    The fall of Liu Ling, a ¡°genius writer¡±, did not reduce people¡¯s imagination about Chinese sci-fi movies at all.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sci-fi movie received everyone¡¯s attention. Everyone was guessing if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie could be an existence that could resist Director Charon.

    So far, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie was only at the script stage.

    On Director Charon¡¯s side, Su Yueran¡¯s supporting role had already beenpletely acted out.

    There was not much space in a movie to begin with. In addition, Su Yueran was a supporting actress who had appeared a few times and had very few scenes.

    Not long after Director Charon praised Su Yueran¡¯s riding scene, Director Charon posted another post.

    @ Director Charon: ¡°Congrattions to this Oriental Muse for the end of filming. It was a pleasure working with you. I look forward to our next meeting. @ Su Yueran.¡±

    It was normal for the director to bid farewell to the actors, but Director Charon¡¯s actions attracted a lot of attention from the domesticizens.

    Arge number of marketing ounts began to move Director Charon¡¯s status onto Weibo from the outside.

    ¡°Congrattions to Su Yueran for wrapping up. Everyone, let¡¯s taste Director Charon¡¯s dynamic. What do you mean by next time? Does this mean that Director Charon and Su Yueran have other coborations?¡±

    ¡°I have some news. I heard from a friend in America¡¯s entertainment industry that Su Yueran seems to have signed a contract with Director Carlon¡¯s good friend, Director Mei Ji. Director Mei Ji is also a famous international director. Su Yueran is about to ascend.¡±

    When this news spread to China, Su Yueran¡¯s fans were naturally overjoyed. They wished they could set off firecrackers on Weibo on the spot. The fans of the other families were filled with envy and jealousy.

    [Our Yueran is indeed the most amazing!! The first person to win glory for the country!! She¡¯s too amazing. How many years has it been since a female celebrity entered the international market? Yueran is amazing this time!]

    [ Stop bragging¡­ Where are you putting Xia Wanyuan? Su Yueran hasn¡¯t entered the international market yet, right? Look at how happy you are. Don¡¯t p your own faces when the timees. ]

    [Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans came out to be scolded again, right? Xia Wanyuan? Is she that female celebrity who was pointed at by Director Charon and scolded for acting like a big shot? No wonder Director Charon only wants our Yueran. So what if some people are rich? Their character is bad and nothing can be remedied.]

    After this period of fermentation, Su Yueran¡¯s fans and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans had almost started fighting the moment they met. Now that the Weibo topic had just been released, it was filled with the continuous tearing of the two fans.

    Not long after the fans¡¯ war began, Su Yueran¡¯s studio posted a post.

    @ Su Yueran: ¡°Thank you @ Director Mei Ji for your invitation. I¡¯m very lucky. Yueran¡¯s next movie will be performed with you.¡±

    Once this official announcement was released, it caused a huge wave. No one paid attention to the battle between the fans.

    What everyone was concerned about was that Su Yueran was probably really going to be the number one international person!

    In a short period of time, she first became Director Charon¡¯s supporting role in the movie, then became Director Meji¡¯s female lead. This speed of ascension could almost be considered a rocket.

    Just as everyone was envious of Su Yueran¡¯s resources, a piece of social news quietly entered everyone¡¯s eyes.

    Ci Yi was listed.

    Everyone saw this name at first nce and did not react. Only when they saw the apanying photo did they suddenly realize that this was the name of the shop that made very beautiful cups.

    Ci Yi¡¯s cup had appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo lucky draw back then. Xia Wanyuan had given out tens of thousands of sets.

    At that time, the fans had once clicked on the link Xia Wanyuan had given them.

    Later on, it did not appear on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo again, and the fans gradually forgot.

    Now that this name had appeared in front of theizens again and it was actually listed, everyone was shocked.

    <i>I¡¯ll really need to look at you differently after not seeing you for a day?!</i>

    [ Back then, when I clicked on the link, Ci Yi was only a small online shop. I despised it for not looking like a proper shop and did not buy the things inside. Now, it¡¯s already on the market. Amazing. I¡¯ll quickly buy a set. ]

    [The things in front, there¡¯s no need to look anymore. Ci Yi¡¯s things are now limited. I¡¯ve been squatting in its colorful cloud cup series for a long time, but I¡¯ve never gotten any.]

    [Boohoo, I always thought that this was my treasure shop. I didn¡¯t expect you to discover it just like that. I strongly rmend it. I want to vomit blood. The cups in this shop are really super beautiful!!]

    Under the enthusiastic rmendation of theizens, more passers-by clicked on it.

    Then, everyone had the same shocked expression.

    <i>Are these rows of cups that look like artifacts serious??</i>

    They looked at the price.

    They were even more shocked.

    <i>I can actually afford it?!!?</i>

    Instantly, Ci Yi¡¯s sales soared again.

    Along with its sales rose its market value.

    When it was first listed, many people in its industry criticized it.

    It was simply ridiculous to think that a cup maker could be listed. Even if it was listed, there would definitely not be a good oue.

    However, the truth was beyond the expectations of industry insiders. No one had expected this small cup to bring so much benefits.

    While everyone was paying attention to the stock price of Ci Yi, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans suddenly discovered some small details that were not known to outsiders.

    In the current entertainment industry, no one dared to say that they were number one if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans said they were number two.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s knowledge was beyond imagination, and her involvement was even wider.

    In order to understand what their idol sometimes posted on Weibo, the fans checked the information more seriously than anyone else.

    Sometimes, professionals might not study Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings as carefully as her fans.

    This time, the paintings on the porcin cup looked like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s handwriting.

    ¡°Let me secretly say this. Look at the bamboo leaves drawn on this cup. Doesn¡¯t it look like Yuan Yuan¡¯s habit of painting?¡±

    ¡°Even if you didn¡¯t say it, I realized it as well. This crane looks like a fairy. I can tell at a nce that it was drawn by Xia Wanyuan. Her painting style is too strong.¡±

    With the fans¡¯ questions, gradually, the others began to be curious about the rtionship between Ci Yi and Xia Wanyuan.

    Not long after, Ci Yi¡¯s official Weibo posted a statement.

    @ Ci Yi: ¡°Thank you for everyone¡¯s attention. @ Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s our boss and chief designer.¡±

    Ci Yi¡¯s generous reply finally resolved everyone¡¯s doubts.

    [ Amazing, I just want to kneel and say, is there anything Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t know? ]

    [The person in front, Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t know how to be fat or ugly.]

    [It hurts¡­ She¡¯s 22 years old and I¡¯m 22 years old. What kind of difference is this in life? The porcin cup is really beautiful. I love it too much.]

    Ci Yi, who was already extremely popr, rushed to the trending list again after taking advantage of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s limelight.

    Under the suggestion of the official shop, Xia Wanyuan started a live broadcast, wanting to use this opportunity to increase Ci Yi¡¯s sales.

    Hence, the fans who were snatching cups from Ci Yi¡¯s shop received a reminder from Xia Wanyuan.

    They opened the live-stream and saw a beautiful face.

    [Aiyaya, what good luck did I have to see such a little fairy?]

    Seeing the fans¡¯ praises, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Hello, everyone. Ci Yi is on the market today. As the boss, I¡¯ll market the goods once.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew that this era was not like her previous life. The goods trade needed to be done in specialized markets. Many people would market goods on the Inte.

    She had always heard about it, but today was the first time she had practiced it.

    In front of Xia Wanyuan was a row of cups. From the pattern, one could tell that they were new products.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how the current streamers market goods. She thought for a while and decided to introduce all the attributes of the goods like in ss.

    Hence, when the audience came to the live-stream, they were first shocked by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, then stunned by her serious expression.

    <i>What about the microphone? Sales? Recruitment? What was with this serious lecture mode??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan held a cup in her hand. From the bottom of the cup to the handle of the cup and the drawings on it, she introduced them one by one. ¡°This is taken from the ¡®Deer King¡¯s Life Painting¡¯. It¡¯s a mural from the Northern Wei period in the 257th cave of the Mogao Cave in Dunhuang¡­¡±

    ¡°The inspiration for the image of this cupes from the ¡®Jiangfan Pavilion Painting¡¯. Tourists move by the river and draw the outline of the mountain rocks with a thin brush, giving it a green color. Li Sixun is good at painting green mountains and rivers and is taught by Zhan Zixian¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan introduced them one by one, slowlybining the story from a thousand years ago and modern technology.

    The originally beautiful cup seemed to have been bestowed with a dynamic historical charm under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation.

    [F*ck, as expected of a professor at Qing University. If I had such a teacher, I wouldn¡¯t have to worry about not being able to get into Qing University.]

    [Wake up, you in front!! This is promoting goods!! Not ss!! But to be honest, I really like this method. I really want to buy it.]

    [ After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, I feel that the water poured out of this cup is the water soaked in the moonlight that Li Bai had seen. I feel that there¡¯s still peach blossom fragrance floating on it. Is this the way a cultured person carries goods? I just want to say 6666, I¡¯ll buy it! ]

    It was originally a live broadcast of selling goods, but in the end, it became Xia Wanyuan¡¯s online lecture hall.

    When Xia Wanyuan introduced the cup, she did not only introduce the source of the image on it.

    She could talk about the background of that era from the style of the images. When it came to flowers and nts, she could also spread them out, from ceramics to clothes, culture, and military.

    It was a piece of history, but once she spoke, it was all interesting anecdotes.

    The number of people in the live-stream increased. By the time Xia Wanyuan finished introducing the cup, the number of people online in real time had already exceeded five million.

    Unknowingly, two hours had passed. Xia Wanyuan put down thest luminous cup. ¡°Alright, today¡¯s live broadcast is over. Let¡¯s meet again next time.¡±

    The story suddenly stopped, and everyone woke up from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dream.

    [Don¡¯t. I haven¡¯t heard enough. Goddess, talk for a while more. Let¡¯s buy something. I¡¯ll buy whatever you ask us to, okay?]

    However, Xia Wanyuan had always been a person who would live-stream for as long as she wanted. She never dawdled. Amidst everyone¡¯s reluctance, Xia Wanyuan ended the live-stream.

    [ Amazing, others chase their fans for a live broadcast, but Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t stay no matter how they beg. Boohoo, what should I do? She¡¯s so gentle, so beautiful, and so talented. Does such a fairy really exist? ]

    [While you¡¯re crying, I¡¯ve already gone to ce the order. I knew that there would be no more stockter. Those cups are already very beautiful. After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, I feel that they¡¯re even more beautiful.]

    [ I just have one question. Can I get a wife with the cup? Someone like Xia Wanyuan is fine. I¡¯m not picky. ]

    At this moment, an ount that had been lurking in the audience suddenly replied to thisment.

    ¡°No, she¡¯s mine.¡±

    The audience wanted to tease which fan was daydreaming again, but when they saw the ount name,

    <i>Oh, Jun Shiling,?</i>

    The audience:?<i>Sorry to disturb you. We¡¯re not worthy. She¡¯s yours. She¡¯s yours. No one dares to snatch her from you.</i>

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream not only set a record for the number of people, but also a new record for sales.

    There would always be an organization in charge of monitoring all kinds of data in a country. On this day, the Chinese monitoring organization discovered that

    Xia Wanyuan appeared once and could move the economic index on a small scale.

    What excited them even more was that

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live broadcast this time, everyone was clearly more interested in traditional culture.

    The relevant officials had promoted for countless years, but they could not make everyone turn their gazes to those traditional paintings. This time, even many unfamiliar paintings and paintings were familiar to everyone.

    ¡°That¡¯s not bad. We can work with Xia Wanyuan and see if she¡¯s willing toe to the official television station to lecture once a week. It¡¯s equivalent to a cultural science genre.¡± The person in charge of the official television station suggested after watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s live-stream video.

    ¡°I think so too. Xia Wanyuan has a good image and temperament. She¡¯s more charismatic than any teacher we¡¯ve ever found in the past.¡± Even though they did not want to admit it, they had to recognize the reality. Young people nowadays looked at faces. Wherever Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face went, the attractiveness reached 100%.

    ¡°I agree.¡± ¡°And so do we.¡±

    After asking for everyone¡¯s unanimous opinion, the official television station officially invited Xia Wanyuan.

    Compared to modern people,

    Xia Wanyuan, who came from a thousand years ago, had more respect for traditional culture in her bones and valued the inheritance and transmission of culture more.

    In her previous life, women could not be teachers, no matter how talented she was. Now, her dream had been fulfilled.

    Xia Wanyuan naturally agreed.

    After coordinating the time with Xia Wanyuan, the official television station quickly released a relevant statement.

    @ Official television station: ¡°From eight to eleven every Saturday, wee to @ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s world.¡±

    The moment the news was released, theizens, who had been sad about Xia Wanyuan ending the live broadcast, were instantly filled with excitement.

    [ Wow, wow, wow. Six to eleven on Saturday. Is she that amazing? They gave all the prime time to Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s the official¡¯s daughter, right? ]

    [They¡¯re definitely biological. This is an official television station. What can I say if they can give the golden date and time to Xia Wanyuan? I can only say that you did well! Keep up the good work!]

    [I¡¯m happy! I¡¯m going to find our television remote control that has been sealed for many years. Who would have thought that I would look forward to a normal program one day?]

    At this moment, the original intention of the official television station was to borrow Xia Wanyuan¡¯s power to pass down some outstanding traditional culture so that everyone could value what their ancestors had left behind.

    They did not realize that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s energy was much greater than they had imagined.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was almost done filming at the Beijing Film and Television Base.

    Many people would use special effects for current movie backgrounds.

    Xia Wanyuan did not reject this special effect that could shock one¡¯s eyes, but at the same time, she felt that the magnificent and vast background was actually more important.

    No matter how good the special effects were, sometimes, they could not simte the uncanny workmanship of nature.

    In the next few days, Xia Wanyuan had to fly to the major scenic areas in the country with the production team.

    Sometimes, they would ride on horses on the vast grasnd in the morning and go to the steep mountains in the afternoon to film. The journey was tiring.

    Fortunately, the benefits Xia Wanyuan gave everyone were good. Although it was hard, everyone was happy and did not have anyints.

    On this day, the production team came to a mountain in the south that was famous for its ¡°dark danger¡±.

    The mountains here were veryplicated, and it matched the war scene in the movie where the Eldest Princess used the terrain to win with fewer people.

    Since it was known for its danger, the production team naturally had to trek for a while before entering a more suitable filming location.

    ¡°Everyone, you¡¯ve worked hard. Rest for a while. We¡¯ll start filming tonight.¡± The director held a loudspeaker and spoke to the staff.

    Seeing that everyone had set up the tent to rest, the director walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side.

    ¡°Wanyuan, what do you think? If you feel ufortable, you must tell us.¡±

    It was already very tiring to bring Xia Wanyuan out for outdoor filming. When he left Beijing, the director felt that if Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was tangible, he would already be a sieve.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. She was spoiled by Jun Shiling, but it was not to the extent that she could not endure this little hardship.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the phone rang.

    The director retreated tactfully. It was obvious who had called. After all, in the past few days, everyone in the production team had seen how Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were inseparable.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button and sensed the sneaky gazes of the surrounding staff. Before she could speak, she alreadyughed in embarrassment. ¡°Didn¡¯t we just talk on the phone? CEO Jun, you¡¯re so free. Don¡¯t you have to work?¡±

    Jun Shiling said confidently, ¡°I¡¯m in a meeting. I asked them to stop for five minutes.¡±

    ¡°¡­ CEO Jun, are you a child? You¡¯re so clingy.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°Who asked you to be gone for so long? Are you in the mountains?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±

    ¡°Mm, pay attention to the local weather and observe the terrain more. I¡¯ve arranged for someone to protect you outside the mountain. There¡¯s a re in your bracelet. Press that switch and the people outside the mountain will enter,¡± Jun Shiling carefully instructed Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan touched the beautiful gem bracelet on her wrist and felt a warmth in her heart. ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m going to a meeting. Come back early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan nced at Lu Li, who was looking over curiously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Only then did Lu Li dare to lean over. ¡°Sister Xia, CEO Jun treats you so well.¡±

    It was only at Jun Shiling¡¯s ce that Lu Li saw that no matter how busy a man was, as long as he wanted to, he could find a chance to contact the person he cared about.

    Xia Wanyuan did not retort. She only lowered her head and touched the bracelet on her hand.

    Night fell and the mountains began to cool down. The production team lit torches and began to prepare for this war scene.

    However, halfway through the filming, a staff ran over in a panic. ¡°Oh no, oh no.¡±

    The silent mountain was a little scary to begin with. With the staff shouting, the director¡¯s scalp went numb. ¡°Why are you so flustered? Speak properly. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    The staff leaned into the director¡¯s ear anxiously and said, ¡°Shen Ya is missing. I heard from her manager that she was still around in the afternoon. When it got dark, the manager went to the toilet and came back. Then, Shen Ya was gone.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± The director¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Then hurry up and find her!¡±

    In the production team, what they feared the most was such a thing.

    There would not be any jackals, tigers, or leopards in the mountains here, but it waste at night and a girl was wandering in the mountains. If she missed her footing or something, the director shook his head and threw out the terrifying thought in his mind.

    Since she was gone, the filming naturally could not continue.

    Initially, the production team was prepared to leave after filming, but now, it was an extravagant hope. Everyone could only raise their torches and spread out to look for her.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and looked at Shen Ya¡¯s manager. ¡°Where was thest time she appeared?¡±

    Shen Ya did not have many scenes in the movie, but in this war scene, she happened to y the wife of a general who had colluded with the rebel army, so they came to film the outside scene together.

    The manager thought back. ¡°In the afternoon, after she was criticized by the director and you, she was a little unhappy. Iforted her a little and saw that her mood had improved, so I went to the toilet. When I returned, she was already gone.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± The director was furious when he heard this. No matter how straight he was, he could tell that his manager was hinting that he and Xia Wanyuan had forced her away.

    In the afternoon, when they were filming, Shen Ya¡¯s attitude was not good. The director said a few words to her. When it was time to act with Xia Wanyuan, because she could not withstand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura, Shen Ya was a littlezy. Xia Wanyuan also said something to her.

    This was normal in the production team, but in this situation, the manager suddenly said this as if he was shirking his responsibility.

    Shen Ya¡¯s managerughed dryly. ¡°Director, look at what you¡¯re saying. That¡¯s not what I meant. You¡¯re thinking too much.¡±

    However, when he lowered his head, a haze shed across his eyes.

    Shen Ya was an artiste he had brought over. Now that she was gone, if anything happened, how could he survive in the entertainment industry?

    ¡°Hmph.¡± The director rolled his eyes. ¡°Alright, she¡¯s already gone, yet you¡¯re still pushing the me here. Aren¡¯t you going to find her?¡±

    Only then did the manager turn around and walk away with the shlight.

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan stared thoughtfully at the manager¡¯s back, thinking about something.

    The director looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wanyuan, we can¡¯t film tonight anyway. Why don¡¯t I send a car to send you down the mountain first?¡±

    The mountain was cold and damp. The director was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would freeze to death.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll wait with you.¡± Everyone was on the mountain, and she felt bad going down alone.

    ¡°That works too.¡± The director nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s wait here. I¡¯ve already called the police.¡±

    At this point, Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of the bracelet Jun Shiling had given her. She greeted the director and returned to the tent.

    After pressing a protruding button inside the bracelet, a contactable screen appeared above the bracelet. Once the signal was connected, someone on the other end spoke.

    ¡°Madam, what help do you need?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan searched for a photo of Shen Ya on the Inte and sent it over. ¡°Find this person and see if she¡¯s gone down the mountain.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Turning off the button, Xia Wanyuany on the chair and rested for a while.

    Halfway through, Lu Li walked in and secretly covered Xia Wanyuan with a nket, then guarded her.

    Time passed bit by bit. Slowly, a white line appeared on the horizon and footsteps came from outside.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes. She had not rested well and subconsciously frowned.

    Outside the door, the director¡¯s loud voice came. ¡°How is it? Have you found her?¡±

    ¡°Director, the police have already searched for her with police dogs for the entire night, but they still haven¡¯t found her. Could this Shen Ya have secretly gone down the mountain?¡±

    At that moment, a reply came from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bracelet. It showed that no one had left the mountain since the production team went up yesterday.

    The director was extremely worried and could only look pleadingly at the police officer standing at the side.

    ¡°Captain Qin, what should we do? Should we go down the mountain and search again?¡±

    Now, with every minute that passed, the director¡¯s heart sank.

    He prayed that Shen Ya had gone down the mountain long ago. If she was still in the mountains and they had not found her after a night, something might have happened.

    Qin Bo¡¯s sharp eyes swept across everyone present. ¡°Who was thest person to see Shen Ya?¡±

    Manager Han Qiu stood up. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡±

    ¡°Before Shen Ya left, was there anything wrong with her emotions?¡±

    Han Qiu nced at the director. ¡°Yes, the director and Xia Wanyuan criticized her. She said that she was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk. I persuaded her. When I came back from the toilet, she disappeared.¡±

    As soon as Han Qiu finished speaking, the rest of the production team began to discuss. Qin Bo gestured for them to stop. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go down the mountain and look for her first. Everyone, don¡¯t make private guesses.¡±

    Qin Bo and Han Qiu had already left, but the seeds of suspicion had been nted in everyone¡¯s hearts. For a moment, everyone in the production team was panicking, and the filming progress was dyed.

    In the room, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and contacted Jun Shiling¡¯s subordinates again. ¡°Go into the mountains and look for the northwest corner. Ask the local natives if there are any hidden mountain roads here.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± the other party replied and quickly cut the signal.

    Xia Wanyuan walked out of the room. Some people looked at her strangely. After all, ording to Han Bo, Shen Ya had run away in a bad mood because she had been criticized by Xia Wanyuan. Although Xia Wanyuan was not the person who had directly caused Shen Ya to go missing, she was still considered an indirect murderer.

    ¡°They¡¯re so annoying. It¡¯s obvious that Shen Ya¡¯s psychological endurance is poor. Besides, it¡¯s not certain if it¡¯s because she¡¯s in a bad mood. I think that Han Qiu doesn¡¯t look like a good person.¡± Lu Li sensed everyone¡¯s strange gazes and felt indignant for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Lu Li. ¡°You don¡¯t like Han Qiu?¡±

    Lu Li nodded. ¡°I feel like he¡¯s not a good person.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Chen Yun shouldn¡¯t have called you stupid every day.¡±

    Actually, Lu Li¡¯s perception was still quite sharp. She also felt that Han Qiu was a little strange.

    Qin Bo and Han Qiu did not return to the production team for the entire morning. At that moment, the sun gradually rose and dispersed the fog in the mountains.

    As time passed, the temperature became higher and higher, but everyone¡¯s hearts became colder and colder. An inexplicable anxiety spread throughout the production team.

    There were many people in the production team, so there were always some people who secretly sold all the information in the production team to the gossip media.

    Before the police could give a final conclusion, the judges on Weibo had already analyzed the case logically.

    ¡°ording to reliable news, someone died in the production team of ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯. I heard that it was because Xia Wanyuan scolded Shen Ya. Shen Ya could not withstand the pressure and ran out herself, falling off the cliff and dying.¡±

    [¡­ Are you serious? Don¡¯t talk nonsense about this, okay?]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. Why does everyone have to drag Xia Wanyuan down? If Shen Ya doesn¡¯t film properly, can¡¯t Xia Wanyuan say a word? Are D-list actresses nowadays so precious? Just because she¡¯s blind, she¡¯s unreasonable? ]

    [ I believe that Xia Wanyuan is not an easy person to approach. She also ignores words. She probably hit Shen Ya¡¯s pride. Someone died this time, right? Let¡¯s see how she ends this. ]

    There were many suspicions online. For a time, Shen Ya became the center of public opinion.

    Shen Ya, a small actress who had never been noticed by anyone before, instantly had millions of fans whose ¡°heart ached for her¡± and felt ¡°sad for her¡± after being announced by the marketing ount.

    The production team quickly responded.

    The official production team of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±: ¡°We¡¯ve already handed everything over to the public security department. Everything has its own official judgment. Please don¡¯t listen to the rumors and spread them.¡±

    However, theizens could not care less. In their opinion, the official production team¡¯s response was evasive and did not tell them if Shen Ya was still alive.

    Many people who wanted to speak up for Shen Ya surged into the production team and demanded an exnation.<i>?Why did they lose her when they were filming a movie??</i>

    It was already past noon. After knowing what had happened to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling specially sent someone to help search.

    Finally, at three in the afternoon, they found Shen Ya.

    When he learned of this news, the director was so happy that he almost knelt down and offered incense. ¡°Where is she? Where is she? Quickly bring her over. We¡¯re going down the mountain together.¡±

    The other police officers looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated. Only Qin Bo was very direct. ¡°When we found Shen Ya, she had already been sinking in theke for a day and a half.¡±

    As Qin Bo spoke, a subordinate carried a stretcher over. A persony on it with a white cloth covering her. From the high heels, one could tell that this was Shen Ya.

    The director was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    <i>Someone died from filming? What should we do?</i>

    Qin Bo gestured for his subordinates to carry her away. ¡°We still need to do a further inspection. I¡¯ll take her away. Go down the mountain quickly. We¡¯re going to seal the scene.¡±

    The police were very efficient. Not long after, the entire production team was brought down the mountain.

    Lu Li followed Xia Wanyuan fearfully. ¡°Sister Xia, why do I feel so frightened?¡±

    Although that Shen Ya was a little pretentious and domineering, this was a living human life. It was too scary to lose it just like that.

    Xia Wanyuan did not respond to Lu Li. She was thinking about herself.

    The police were doing their best to investigate Shen Ya¡¯s death. On the other hand, the news of Shen Ya¡¯s death had already spread throughout the Inte.

    The treatment that Shen Ya had dreamed of bing famous on the Inte waspleted at the moment of her death. Unfortunately, she would never see this scene again.

    [F*ck, she¡¯s really dead? Is ¡°Eldest Princess¡±¡®s production team poisonous? They got her to the mountain to film in the middle of the night? Is it on purpose?]

    [Hey, hey, hey, the person in front, everyone in the film industry knows that filming at night is very normal. Otherwise, do you think we can rely on post-production to photoshop it into the day?]

    [So what if she¡¯s filming? She clearly knows that the other party¡¯s mental endurance is poor, yet she still scolded the actors. Are actors not worth anything now? Now, she¡¯s scolded to death. It¡¯s unreasonable for the production team not to be responsible.]

    Instantly, theizens were filled with righteous indignation. It was as if they had seen Shen Ya being forced to death by the production team in public. Arge number of people surged into the production team¡¯s official Weibo and asked them to apologize to Shen Ya.

    The production team had no choice but to seek help from the director.

    The director was in no mood to care about this. His heart was in a mess, and he began to reflect on himself.<i>?Did I say too much yesterday?</i>

    ¡°Sigh, I shouldn¡¯t have scolded her yesterday.¡± However, if he didn¡¯t scold her, the director wouldn¡¯t be appeased.

    Shen Ya¡¯s acting skills were really bad, and she did not listen to instructions, making the director furious.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°Didn¡¯t something happen to her after she was scolded?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The director looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Don¡¯t me yourself. The police¡¯s results should be out soon.¡±

    The director was filled with doubts, but looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile, he did not dare to continue asking. He could only sigh in his heart.

    After filming this movie, he was going to retire directly.<i>?Why should I film a movie? All the actors were ancestors. I could not hit or scold them. If I scolded them, they would die.?</i>

    The director squatted in the corner and sighed.

    However, not long after, Qin Bo arrived and saved the director.

    ¡°The results of the examination are out. Shen Ya has a long history of taking drug stimnts. We detected a high concentration of D-grade in her body. On the night of the incident, she must have just taken drugs and was overly excited.¡±

    The director was relieved when he suddenly thought of something. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t anyone notice that she was so excited? There are so many staff in the production team. She can¡¯t possibly run out herself, right?¡±

    Hearing the director¡¯s words, Qin Bo nodded. ¡°Yes, she really can¡¯t escape alone. Han Qiu is herpanion, and the same medicine was detected in Han Qiu¡¯s body.¡±

    In front of so many people, there was another sentence that Qin Bo did not say. That was, Han Qiu¡¯s body fluids had been detected in Shen Ya¡¯s body.

    The oue of the matter was very clear.

    After Han Qiu and Shen Ya took the medicine, they ran to a quiet ce to have fun while everyone was preparing to film. Unexpectedly, the road was slippery at night and the two of them were too excited.

    Shen Ya fell off the cliff. Afraid that the matter would be exposed, Han Qiu hurriedly returned and deliberately wanted to push the me to the director and Xia Wanyuan.

    The director probed, ¡°Then Han Qiu?¡±

    ¡°He has already been controlled by us and confessed all the facts.¡± Qin Bo was the captain of this city, so his words naturally represented the final certification of authority.

    Although it was a pity that a life had disappeared, everyone in the production team was slightly relieved. Fortunately, it was not because of a conflict that caused Shen Ya¡¯s death. If that was really the case, no one could bear the responsibility.

    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The production team, who had been silent for a day and night, finally regained some liveliness.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Thank you. I¡¯ll go greet the others,¡± the director said and ran to the crowd, instructing them not to spread rumors.

    In this corner, only Xia Wanyuan and Qin Bo were left.

    Qin Bo¡¯s gaze finally met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. Her cold eyes seemed to be able to prate everything and reach one¡¯s heart.

    Qin Bo smiled. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re frightened. This has nothing to do with you. We¡¯ll help you rify.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked into Qin Bo¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, her gaze shifted to Qin Bo¡¯s feet. He was wearing ck leather shoes that were stained with a lot of mud. ¡°Captain Qin, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Qin Bo frowned slightly, but his expression did not change. ¡°Serving everyone is what we should do.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled in confusion. ¡°Captain Qin, aren¡¯t you going to investigate further? Han Qiu doesn¡¯t look like someone who takes drugs, right?¡±

    The corners of Qin Bo¡¯s lips twitched and his eyes were sharp. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯ve been protected very well for a long time. I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t know much about people¡¯s evil hearts. Han Qiu only looks honest, but he¡¯s actually a drug addict who has been taking drugs for a long time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze moved away from Qin Bo¡¯s feet and looked at him again. ¡°Mm, people are sinister. It¡¯s indeed not easy to see through them.¡±

    Qin Bo met Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. His eyes were firm and filled with loyalty, but there was sweat spreading on the seam of his pants.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan acted as if nothing had happened. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile. ¡°Captain Qin, you and your subordinates have worked so hard. I got someone to send them gifts. Don¡¯t worry, they were sent ording to the amount in your regtions. They won¡¯t cross the line.¡±

    ¡°Then thank you, Madam Jun, for being so considerate of us.¡± Qin Bo crossed his arms and bowed to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and casually nced at Qin Bo¡¯s cupped fist wrist. There was a very inconspicuous dent at the wrist joint. ¡°Captain Qin, please.¡±

    ¡°Okay, call me if you need anything.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. After Qin Bo turned around and took a few steps, she suddenly said, ¡°Captain Qin.¡±

    Qin Bo turned around with confusion in his eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Captain Qin, do you like BD watches?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked seriously.

    Qin Bo smiled. ¡°Madam Jun, you tter me. With my sry, I can¡¯t afford such a watch.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Captain Qin is a young talent. You can always afford it.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was sincere, as if she was really encouraging Qin Bo.

    ¡°Then thank you for your blessings, Madam Jun.¡± Qin Bo nodded, then turned around and strode away.

    Behind her, Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes.

    Jun Shiling often wore a BD watch, so Xia Wanyuan was very familiar with it. There was a small special watch buckle on the lower right side of this brand.

    If it was squeezed, this special-shaped watch buckle would form a small depression on the skin.

    And the small mark on Qin Bo¡¯s wrist just now was extremely familiar to Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling had never worn a watch lower than seven digits.

    ording to what she knew, Qin Bo was a captain from an ordinary family.

    <i>Who gave him such a watch? Or, who was giving him money??</i>

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li had just finished a call with Chen Yun and exined everything to him. Then, she rified all the rumors against Xia Wanyuan on Weibo.

    When she ran in to look for Xia Wanyuan, she realized that Xia Wanyuan had been standing there for a long time, thinking about something.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed down all the thoughts in her mind.

    ¡°The director said that we¡¯ve already taken half of the scenesst night. The mountain has been sealed and we can¡¯t go up. We¡¯ll rece the rest with other scenes and leave here tomorrow.¡± Lu Li reported her schedule to Xia Wanyuan in detail.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Go out and y tonight. The night market here is quite lively.¡±

    ¡°Okay, but Sister Xia, aren¡¯t you going out with me?¡± Lu Li was overjoyed to hear that she could take a short leave.

    ¡°No, I want to rest.¡± She had not slept wellst night and was dizzy from a lot of things during the day. Xia Wanyuan wanted to stay alone.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    After Lu Li left, Xia Wanyuan slept in a daze in her room. She only woke up slowly at nine in the evening.

    On WeChat, Lu Li had sent her many messages.

    Xia Wanyuan returned a call. Soon, Lu Li came up with food. She had just returned from the night market and was carrying a pile of things and some snacks.

    ¡°Here, Sister Xia, eat.¡± Lu Li handed the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan and arranged the food.

    Xia Wanyuan happened to be hungry and slowly enjoyed the food in front of her. Lu Li fiddled with the things she had obtained from the night market.

    Xia Wanyuan casually nced at it and saw something sh in Lu Li¡¯s hand. She suddenly paused. ¡°Show me the safety talisman just now.¡±

    Lu Li looked at her in confusion and handed the ancient talisman to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°This?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan took it and saw the familiar words on it. She frowned in confusion.

 Chapter 1146 - The Princessâ€™s Beauty, Strength,

    <h4>Chapter 1146: The Princess¡¯s Beauty, Strength, Handsome, and Magic</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan carefully looked at the safety amulet in her hand again. It was the most ordinary style, but the words on it made Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart surge.

    This flick was very simr to the literary habits of the schrs of the Great Xia Dynasty. The ancient charm was filled with familiar details.

    ¡°Where did you buy this thing?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Lu Li and handed her the safety amulet.

    ¡°It¡¯s at the night market. Sister Xia, if you like it, I¡¯ll buy another pile for you?¡± Lu Li nced at the safety amulet.?<i>Other than the words being quite beautiful, there was nothing special about it. Why did it suddenly attract Xia Wanyuan¡¯s interest??</i>

    ¡°Bring me there.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled where these things came from.

    Last year, when they went to Han Country for a university exchange, a schr from Han Country had taken out one or two cultural relics that were simr to the style of the Great Xia Dynasty, but Xia Wanyuan could tell at a nce that they were fake.

    Her dynasty had never appeared in the history books of this era, so much so that Xia Wanyuan had always felt that this was two parallel universes. The dynasty she had lived in in her previous life did not exist in this era¡¯s history.

    However, the words on these safety amulets surprised her. They were too simr.

    In the history of China, there were indeed simrities between various dynasties, but the simrity in calligraphy habits made her begin to suspect that the dynasty she had lived in had once appeared in thisnd.

    It was alreadyte at night, and the night market was bustling. Lu Li brought Xia Wanyuan through the crowd and headed to the ce where she had bought the safety amulet.

    However, there were really many people in the night market. The two of them were squeezed in the crowd and could not move much.

    ¡°Wow, why are there so many people? There aren¡¯t many left in the hands of the vendor who sold the safety amulet just now. If we continue to be in this jam, what if that vendor leaves?¡± Looking at the long stream of people, Lu Li was extremely worried.

    At this moment, an olddy selling candy beside her saw how anxious Lu Li was and waved at her. ¡°Youngdy, where are you rushing to?¡±

    Lu Li told her where the vendor was.

    The olddy trembled as she moved her stall open. ¡°Go past me. Do you see that? There¡¯s an alley inside. You can take a shortcut.¡±

    Lu Li hurriedly thanked the olddy. ¡°Thank you so much!!¡±

    The olddy waved her hand and revealed her remaining teeth. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Seeing how anxious you are, there must be something important. Go.¡±

    With that, Lu Li and Xia Wanyuan took a shortcut west.

    When they arrived at the ce where Lu Li bought things, as expected, there was no one at the stall.

    ¡°Brother, where¡¯s the person who just sold the safety amulet?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the pancake seller.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Meeting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold eyes, the pancake man inexplicably blushed. He shook his head. ¡°The vendors here are all random. I don¡¯t know them either. Yesterday, there was a potato pancake seller here.¡±

    A hint of disappointment shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Lu Li walked around the stall and suddenly saw a small pendant left behind. ¡°Sister Xia, look, this little rabbit is so cute.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and took the small pendant in her hand. The confusion in her eyes deepened.

    There was a little rabbit drawn on the surface of the small pendant. This rabbit seemed to have been hand-drawn.

    And she was certain that this rabbit had been drawn ording to her painting.

    Furthermore, it was not a painting she had created in the modern world. It was from her previous life.

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had raised a snow-white rabbit. That rabbit had a congenital illness and had a bamboo-like birthmark at the corner of one eye.

    Almost no one knew this detail. After she arrived in the modern world, she had never drawn such a rabbit again.

    The rabbit on the small pendant in front of her had a very small birthmark at the corner of its eye.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt inexplicably emotional.

    <i>So, did the era I lived in really exist in history? Did that mean that I could find a lot of information about that time??</i>

    However, when she saw the empty stall, Xia Wanyuan was a little depressed.

    There were many people in the night market here, and because it was set up in a rtively remote ce, there were no cameras installed.

    It was basically a needle in a haystack to find the vendor.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to find evidence of her existence for no other reason than to know how the entire Great Xia Dynasty had developed after her death.

    <i>What was the situation of my younger siblings? Why did this dynasty disappear in history? What happened back then??</i>

    These could only be answered after finding historical materials rted to the Xia Dynasty.

    Now, there was hope first, and then it disappeared. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart was a little empty.

    ¡°Sister Xia, are you okay?¡± Lu Li watched from the side and felt that Xia Wanyuan was suddenly inexplicably depressed. She was worried that something had happened to her.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡±

    Everything was predestined. Xia Wanyuan felt that perhaps the time was not right.

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Lu Li carefully followed Xia Wanyuan, a little worried about her.

    The two of them returned the way they came. There were still many peopleing and going, so Lu Li could only stick close to Xia Wanyuan to protect her.

    They walked to a ce not far from the olddy selling candy.

    Lu Li suddenly eximed, pulling Xia Wanyuan out of her thoughts.

    ¡°Sister Xia, look at that olddy.¡±

    Not far away, the olddy selling candy who had just helped them was sitting behind the stall counting money. Beside her stood a child wearing manyyers of patches.

    Now, the child was looking at the barbecue next door eagerly, drooling.

    The granny opened her handkerchiefyer byyer. When she flipped to the innermost, there was a small stack of one-dor bills.

    The granny counted and took out a small half for her grandson. ¡°Go and buy it.¡±

    The grandson nced at the barbecue not far away and then at his grandmother¡¯s handkerchief. ¡°No.¡±

    Although he was young, he knew that it was not easy for Grandma to take care of him. Grandma was old, and many people despised the candy she made.

    Sometimes, she could only sell two or three in a day. The money in the handkerchief was saved by the old granny who made sugar figurines for a few days.

    The granny smiled and patted her grandson¡¯s head. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Buy it and I¡¯ll earn more.¡±

    The little boy shook his head and stubbornly put the money back into the handkerchief. ¡°When I grow up in the future, I¡¯ll earn money to buy it myself. I don¡¯t want it. Grandma, take it and buy the medicine.¡±

    In the bustling street, the sound of hawking andughter rose and fell. No one noticed that in such a lively street market, there was a corner where the grandmother and grandson were arguing over five yuan worth of skewers.

    Lu Li took a few nces and her eyes turned red.

    She was the child raised by her grandparents. What she hated the most was such a scene.

    Lu Li walked to the skewers vendor. ¡°Hello, give me one of the same ones.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    In the end, the granny did not argue with her stubborn grandson. She hid the handkerchief in her clothes and secretly wiped her tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    The little boy shook his head. ¡°No, Grandma. You¡¯re already very good to me.¡±

    At that moment, a strong fragrance suddenly came from the side. The grandmother and granddaughter turned around at the same time and saw arge handful of meat skewers and a pair of round and bright eyes.

    ¡°Grandma, it¡¯s me.¡± Lu Li smiled until her dimples appeared. ¡°Thank you for just now. This is for your grandson.¡±

    ¡°Miss, this¡­ No, how can I ept your things?¡± The granny waved her hand.

    Lu Li directly handed a skewer to the boy. ¡°Come and eat.¡±

    The boy subconsciously took a bite. The meat juice burst in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it delicious?¡± Lu Li looked at the boy.

    ¡°Mm!¡± The little boy nodded heavily.

    Only then did Lu Li look at the olddy. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Grandma. Look, your grandson likes to eat it very much.¡±

    Seeing the boy eating happily, the old granny could not help but smile. She bowed to Lu Li. ¡°Thank you so much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lu Li took out the many pastries she had just bought. ¡°My grandmother is not much older than you. When I saw you, I thought of my grandmother. Unfortunately, she can¡¯t eat it now. This is for you. Take it as my filial piety.¡±

    The granny subconsciously wanted to reject her. ¡°I still have to look after my stall.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll help you take a look. Eat first,¡± Lu Li said as she ced the things in front of the grandmother and granddaughter. Then, she stood up and prepared to help the granny look after the stall.

    However, just as she stood up, she saw Xia Wanyuan walk to the stall and roll up her sleeves.

    Lu Li leaned over. ¡°Sister Xia, what are you doing?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan washed herself in the water beside her, revealing a pair of fair and slender hands. ¡°Making sugar figurines. I haven¡¯t done it in a long time.¡±

    Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Sister Xia, you know how to make this?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and did not say anything else.

    In her previous life, there were not as many snacks as in the modern world. The sugar figurine was a very popr snack at that time.

    When Xia Wanyuan lived among the people with her younger siblings, she would help wash dishes and wash clothes to earn money in the day.

    However, her younger siblings were still growing. The money she earned usually was not enough for them to live, so Xia Wanyuan would go to the night market to make candy and sell them.

    Hence, when she saw these raw materials, a veryplicated sense of familiarity surged in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask and hat, her noble aura was extremely outstanding no matter where she was.

    Although there were many tourists in the night market, everyone quickly noticed a very eye-catching figure at the candy vendor.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slender hand took out a small piece of soft candy from the basin.

    She pinched the sugar figurine quickly, but it did not make one feel flustered. Her ten fingers danced in the air, as if they were demonstrating a gorgeous dance together.

    About two minutester, the frame of a kitten appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. Xia Wanyuan held her chopsticks and dipped them in the paint made from vegetable juice before painting it.

    A cute kitten with exposed hair and beard appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    The guests nearby could even see the kitten¡¯s fur.

    ¡°It¡¯s too cute!! Mommy, I want this.¡± In front of the stall, a little girl had been looking at this cat for a long time. Just as Xia Wanyuan finished, she shouted.

    Not only did children like it, but adults also liked such cute things. The little girl¡¯s mother paid happily.

    The mother and daughter admired the kitten as they left. When the other tourists saw what they were holding, they hurriedly rushed over.

    ¡°Can I customize it?¡± Some people had different thoughts.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Sure. What do you want to do? Line up.¡±

    Everyone obediently lined up and eximed in their hearts.

    <i>This candy sellerdy¡¯s voice was really nice!</i>

    The first person in line was a little girl in a Chinese dress. She was especially obsessed with all sorts of beautiful styles. She nced at Xia Wanyuan and howled in her heart.<i>?She must be a beauty!?</i>Then, she whispered, ¡°Hello, Miss. I want an ancient-style beautifuldy. Thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at the clothes on this little girl<i>. She must have dressed up carefully. The clothes were all ancient-style and very exquisite.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan quickly took action.

    Making sugar figurines was actually a visual enjoyment of craftsmanship. Everyone patiently watched their bodies, hands, and feet take shape under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fabrication.

    After a skeleton came out, the next step was to color it.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s powerful painting foundation yed a very good role. She took the brush and flicked it a few times. It was still nk just now.

    It was like the finishing touch of a dragon.

    ¡°Here, the character costs more. Settle the bill at the side.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the thing over.

    ¡°Ah!¡± The little girl eximed as soon as she took it.

    <i>It was actually made ording to my outfit today! It was lifelike.</i>?She felt that the sugar figurine in her hand was about to dance to the wind.<i>?It was too beautiful!?</i>The little girl looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s too beautiful! Thank you!¡±

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey. Hurry up and make way.¡± The person behind could not wait anymore and desperately pulled the little girl to the side. ¡°You¡¯re already done, but you¡¯re still not leaving. Hello, I want to make a hall filled with gold for good luck. Is that okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. As her fingers flew, a golden jade hall that looked auspicious was quickly pinched out.

    With these few people in front, everyone could tell.

    This candy maker knew everything! She even made it especially well! Everyone scrambled to get Xia Wanyuan to make it for them.

    However, the amount of sugar in the basin was limited. Xia Wanyuan estimated the amount. ¡°After the fiftieth person, don¡¯t queue anymore.¡±

    Those ranked before 50 all had happy expressions, while those ranked after 50 were filled with regret.

    The visual of Xia Wanyuan pinching the sugar figurine itself was very enjoyable. Although everyone could not line up, they did not leave. They surrounded her and watched her squeeze it.

    Most people were very obedient, but there were still people who could not wait to cut the line and stand in front.

    A middle-aged man in a leather jacket patted a youngdy on the shoulder and pulled her out of the team. ¡°Give me a spot. Make way.¡±

    ¡°Hey!¡± The person who was pulled was a youngdy carrying a school bag. She was indignant. ¡°I don¡¯t want money! Move.¡±

    The man shed his fists. ¡°Get lost. I¡¯ll beat you up.¡±

    The youngdy felt extremely wronged, but she was afraid of being beaten up by this man who was more than a head taller than her. She could only silently endure this anger.

    Xia Wanyuan handed the second marshal in her hand to the guest, then looked at the youngdy. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    The youngdy looked up in surprise. She had yet to wipe the tears in her eyes. ¡°I want a Killing Pill!¡±

    ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± The middle-aged man stepped forward and roared at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Can¡¯t you see me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him coldly and retorted with the words he had just shouted at the little girl. ¡°Get lost.¡±

    ¡°Hey!¡± The middle-aged man spat. ¡°You candy maker, I gave you face.¡±

    He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to flip the stall. Xia Wanyuan took a step forward and kicked his knee. The man knelt on the ground and shouted in pain.

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at him. ¡°Lu Li, call the police.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already reported it!¡± Lu Li shook her phone. ¡°The police said they¡¯ll be here soon!¡±

    When the man heard that the police wereing, panic shed across his eyes. He immediately wanted to run, but he was surrounded by the passers-by until the patrolling police arrived and took him away.

    After themotion subsided, Xia Wanyuan looked at the little girl. ¡°What¡¯s a killing pill?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who rarely watched cartoons, did not understand what young people liked to watch.

    The youngdy found a photo on the Inte. ¡°This is it. Can you do it?¡±

    The youngdy was a little worried. After all, in the eyes of the teachers and parents, it was very strange for children to like anime characters.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and nodded. ¡°Of course.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan began to work.

    To be honest, the little girl did not have much hope at first, because Xia Wanyuan did not know what a Killing Pill was.

    However, when Xia Wanyuan handed the sugar figurine to the little girl, the little girl was so happy that she almost cried.<i>?This was my idol!?</i>

    <i>Gentle and powerful.</i>

    She did not expect that a sugar figurine could show all the temperament of her idol. ¡°Thank you, thank you. It¡¯s really well pinched!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the school bag on her back and smiled. ¡°Study hard.¡±

    ¡°Mm! I definitely will!¡± At this moment, the little girl seemed to see the incarnation of her male idol in the stranger.

    Although the two were unrted from the outside, and one was an animated character and the other was a real stranger, the youngdy felt the same powerful gentleness.

    In the following time, Xia Wanyuan kept making sugar figurines.

    It was not until the moon was high in the sky that Xia Wanyuan finally stopped what she was doing.

    At this moment, the sugar and dye in the basin had been used up. Lu Li counted the money.

    Xia Wanyuan had pinched a total of 60 sugar figurines that night.

    She had earned nearly 5,000 yuan.

    Actually, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fees were not expensive, but many people were especially happy after receiving unexpected gifts, so they gave her more.

    The granny refused to ept the money no matter what. ¡°You earned this. Why are you giving it to me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Take it, Grandma. Do I look like someone whocks money? Just treat it as me doing a good deed.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were very sincere. It was difficult for the old granny to reject her kindness. In the end, she thanked Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li countless times before sending them away.

    After Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li left, the grandmother and granddaughter began to pack their things and go home.

    The little boy jumped around and a safety amulet fell out of his pocket.

    The words on it were the same as the one in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    However, Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li had already walked far away.

    On the way back, Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. ¡°Sister Xia, why are you so good? I like you so much!¡±

    She felt that at this moment, she understood Xuan Sheng extremely well.<i>?Who would not like Xia Wanyuan?!?</i>In a sense, Xia Wanyuan was her love rival.

    However, she felt from the bottom of her heart that anyone would like Xia Wanyuan very much!

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. After pinching the sugar figurine for the entire night, her hands were a little sore. ¡°Help me take my phone out of my pocket.¡±

    <i>I did not contact Jun Shiling the entire night. He must be looking for me.?</i>

    As expected, there were several missed calls on her phone.

    Xia Wanyuan called back and the call was instantly connected.

    ¡°Not bad, little princess. When can you make me a sugar figurine?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had always had someone sent by Jun Shiling protecting her. Xia Wanyuan was not surprised that he knew her whereabouts.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I was busy just now and didn¡¯t look at my phone.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°I know. Go back and rest. I got someone to make supper for you and send it to the hotel. It¡¯s been hard on you, baby.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling could be considered an old couple, but the way Jun Shiling addressed her still made one¡¯s heart blush.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had requested Jun Shiling to call her by her name because she was embarrassed and it sounded a little awkward, Jun Shiling was righteous. ¡°I don¡¯t care. Call me a hundred years old.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan was helpless, she had to admit that it felt good to be pampered like a child.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears were a little hot. ¡°Sleep early.¡±

    ¡°No, after you eat, I want to video call you before sleeping.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been gone for a few days. Jun Shiling stayed alone every day, waiting to see her at night. How could he let go of this opportunity?

    ¡°Got it.¡± Sensing Lu Li¡¯s sneaky smile, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heated up. She hung up after saying a few words to Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the hotel and ate supper with Lu Li.

    Little did she know that the video and photos of her pinching the sugar figurine had already spread online.

    At first, no one knew that this was Xia Wanyuan. After all, she was wearing a mask and hat. Most of the people present were locals and did not pay much attention to the entertainment news online.

    Someizens only felt that the sugar figurine was too beautiful, so they took a few photos and posted them on social media, attracting arge number of people to watch.

    [Are you serious? She¡¯s so beautiful, just like in the painting.]

    [Blogger, take a bite and let me see. Is it really a sugar figurine? It doesn¡¯t look like it. Can a sugar figurine look so good?]

    The blogger quickly replied to theizens¡¯ doubts. He specially took a video of the sugar man.

    A beautiful Fairy Chang¡¯e was eaten by him one by one.

    [F*ck, vicious!! My heart broke when I saw this. This craftsman is too amazing. She made it so well.]

    [Making sugar figurines is a traditional skill in our country. It¡¯s just that it has declined over the years.]

    Soon, the photos of the sugar figurine that others had posted became popr. There were evenizens who took photos of Xia Wanyuan pinching the sugar figurine. The dance-like technique dazzled everyone.

    Everyone watched in surprise. As they watched, they felt that something was wrong.

    [Why do I feel that this person looks so familiar? Her eyes are so beautiful. She looks so much like Xia Wanyuan.]

    [Really? I heard that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s production team is filming here, but does Xia Wanyuan even know how to make sugar figurines? Don¡¯t scare me. How can I live?]

    [ The person in front, I can definitely tell you that this is Xia Wanyuan. I¡¯m her fan. I definitely won¡¯t mistake her. Boohoo, my goddess is so amazing!! ]

    Powerfulizens finally confirmed after collecting photos of all the sugar figurines on the Inte andparing them.

    <i>This person was really Xia Wanyuan!?</i>

    The sugar figurine, which was already very popr, was now tainted with Xia Wanyuan. It was another heated discussion on the Inte.

    [ Tell me, I want to eat that sugar figurine. It¡¯s pinched so well. That killing pill is so lifelike! ]

    [Have you forgotten? Xia Wanyuan is a master painter. How can the things she draws be bad?]

    [Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting costs tens of millions. I heard that this candy only costs dozens of yuan. F*ck!! I feel like I missed a good opportunity to get rich!! I should have kicked my boyfriend and gone to the night market to buy sugar figurines today!]

    After knowing that the sugar figurine was made by Xia Wanyuan, the price of the sugar figurine online increased.

    The citizens present did not expect that the small thing they had casually bought could bring them an unexpected wealth.

    What no one expected was that

    Xia Wanyuan had made another industry popr.

    The sugar figurine that only existed on the food street walked into the world of young people.

    An intangible cultural heritage that was about to disappear from the market weed its spring. Many people were attracted by the technology to make it, and some were convinced by the beauty of it.

    The granny, who was hugging 5,000 yuan and smiling as her grandson fell asleep, could not imagine it.

    The day before, she could only sell one sugar figurine in a few days.

    The next day, she was invited away by the officials and became the local spokesperson for intangible cultural heritage. She even epted many legacy disciples.

    This skill that was almost lost in her generation was saved by that one person alone.

    It was rejuvenated!

    After Jun Shiling finished dealing with work, he had nothing to do and scrolled through Weibo. He saw the video of Xia Wanyuan making sugar figurines. His eyes were deep as he watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skilled actions in the video. He was not as surprised as the others.

    In his eyes, it was heartache.

    Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity. She was a noble princess and the regent who held great power.

    She must have learned these things when she was wandering among the people.

    Jun Shiling was looking at the video on Weibo when Xia Wanyuan called.

    She had just taken a shower and was pink and tender like a lotus flower that was about to bloom.

    Xia Wanyuan wiped her hair. ¡°I¡¯m going back tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Can you teach me how to make candy figurines when you¡¯re back?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned. ¡°Why do you want to learn that?¡±

    ¡°I just want to learn.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Then, Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling about the discovery of the safety amulet today.

    ¡°You suspect that something from your era might have wandered out, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuany on the bed with her phone. ¡°What I want to know is, what happened to my familyter.¡±

    At the mention of this, Xia Wanyuan looked a little sad.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll help you investigate,¡± Jun Shiling said and turned on hisputer to send a series of instructions.

    After doing all of this, he turned around and coaxed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°How can I make Madam happy? Madam, just say it. I¡¯ll do it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°I want to eat ice cream.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Xia Wanyuan choose herself.

    ¡°Can I?¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re the best ~¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was smiling, and the end of her words was slightly upturned, making one¡¯s heart itch.

    Jun Shiling sent a message. Soon, the doorbell of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s room rang.

    Having gotten what she wanted, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood improved a lot. She chatted with Jun Shiling and gradually fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling did not hang up the video call. He put his phone aside and turned on hisputer to work.

    An encrypted email was sent to Jun Shiling from an unknown ce.

    It showed that thest ce the members of the Sea Shark Organization appeared in the official surveince of China was actually City H, where Xia Wanyuan was now.

    For some reason, Jun Shiling suddenly thought of the suicide case of the actors in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s production team. He sent a message to the subordinates protecting Xia Wanyuan in City H.

    ¡°After sending Xia Wanyuan to the airport, stand by and don¡¯t expose yourself. Just live normally in City H.¡±

    His subordinates quickly replied, ¡°I promise to obey orders.¡±

    Information floated past Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    China, Continent O, Continent M.

    The few big families in China, the top families in Continent O, and the big businessmen in Continent M.

    Theseplicated rtionships quickly ran through Jun Shiling¡¯s mind.

    After a while, Jun Shiling frowned.

    This was because he acutely discovered that an invisible line was slowly roping in the top forces in the world.

    As China itself rose, the gazes of the various top forces gradually gathered above China.

    They gathered in Beijing, the center of China.

    Jun Shiling turned his head and nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was sleepingfortingly.

    She slept peacefully, as if all the shy turmoil had disappeared in front of her.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. After a while, he picked up his phone and went to sleep.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li boarded a ne to Beijing. Jun Shiling picked her up at the airport.

    However, less than three hours after returning home to rest, Xia Wanyuan received a reminder from the national television station.

    Today was the first show of her online sses.

 Chapter 1147 - Princessâ€™s First Show; Promotion Industry

    <h4>Chapter 1147: Princess¡¯s First Show; Promotion Industry</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    As Xia Wanyuan ate the fruits Jun Shiling fed her, she replied to the director of the television station, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll definitely be on time.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her message. ¡°Tsk, so busy. Looks like Madam doesn¡¯t n to leave any time for me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a bite of the cherry, and the sweet fragrance spread in her mouth. ¡°I left you a live ticket.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then I¡¯ll look for you after work.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    She had been filming outside for the past few days and had not prepared much for ss. Now, Xia Wanyuan was seriously flipping through the notes in her hand. Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan cherry after cherry.

    Xia Wanyuan habitually bit and ate it.

    Then, she was pulled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms without warning. Her hot breath pressed down.

    ¡°Jun Shiling!¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed him. ¡°Stop fooling around.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was smiling. ¡°Have you missed me in the past few days?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan said helplessly, ¡°I still have to read. Stop fooling around.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± Jun Shiling flicked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°What are you thinking? I¡¯ll just hug you for a while. Be good. Look, I¡¯ll handle work.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± In the end, Xia Wanyuan could not dissuade Jun Shiling. Shey in his arms and slowly finished reading a pile of information.

    When An Rao arrived at the manor, she saw this scene and could not help but click her tongue. When Jun Shiling turned around, she hurriedly hid behind Bo Xiao obediently.

    Xia Wanyuan sat up and nced at An Rao¡¯s stomach. It seemed to be getting bigger. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re here to send wedding invitations.¡± An Rao smiled until her eyes curved. ¡°Besides, the doctor said that I can¡¯t stay at home every day and not move. I have toe out and walk more.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked towards An Rao and took the invitation from her.

    On the exquisitely designed invitation, there were photos of An Rao and Bo Xiao. Looking inside, there was also a cartoon version of Lian Po and Li Bai, symbolizing An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s first meeting.

    ¡°How are the preparations?¡± Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were too busy to pay attention to An Rao¡¯s wedding.

    ¡°Pretty good.¡± An Rao nodded. ¡°I¡¯m basically ready. I¡¯m just waiting to wear the wedding dress you designed for me.¡±

    Speaking of wedding dresses, An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with yearning. Thest time she tried it on, An Rao had been thinking about it in her dream. She even sighed. ¡°If only I could wear the wedding dress Yuan Yuan designed for me every time I got married.¡± Then, she received a roll of the eyes from Bo Xiao.

    After sending Xia Wanyuan her invitation, An Rao and Bo Xiao left the manor.

    Bo Xiao and An Rao did not have many friends, but each of them was worth them personally going to deliver the invitation. The two of them had been too busy for the past two days.

    Seeing An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s backs disappear at the door, Xia Wanyuan looked at the invitation emotionally. ¡°They¡¯re finally getting their happy ending.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling took the invitation and flipped through it. ¡°Do you like such an invitation?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very beautiful.¡± However, Xia Wanyuan was still deeply influenced by China¡¯s traditional habits. ¡°But I still prefer traditional wedding invitations.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyesnded on the invitation, deep in thought.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the current era, other than the older generation who still had the habit of watching television, the younger generation had long lost the habit of squatting and watching television.

    With the high development of online videos, they could watch whatever they wanted. They did not have to guard the television and endure the torture of advertisements.

    Even if everyone watched it, they would watch those television stations that did well in variety shows.

    Although the official television station was a national television station, the program appeared very seriouspared to other tforms. It had never been very popr among the young people, so the viewership ratings were naturally average.

    However, it was very different today. Before Xia Wanyuan¡¯s program began, the viewership ratings of the official television station soared like a rocket, leaving the viewership ratings of the other television stations far behind.

    [ Squatting silently for Yuan Yuan. I¡¯ve already turned on all threeputers in our house. I¡¯m looking at beauties from all directions! ]

    [ The person in front, I reasonably suspect that you¡¯re here to show off your wealth. I¡¯m a little curious what Xia Wanyuan will say today. However, whatever a beauty says should be very interesting. I love Xia Wanyuan too much. Boohoo. ]

    [The person in front, stop loving. Can you look at who is sitting in the audience and consider thements you sent? You don¡¯t want your ount anymore, right?]

    The show had not begun, and the camera was scanning the audience.

    The director clearly knew what everyone wanted to see, so he kept signaling the cameraman to move the camera to the first row of the audience.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling was sitting in the middle of the first row.

    He was dressed in a ck suit, making him look even taller. His eyes were like a painting, noble and proud. The blue tie at his cor became the only light in the darkness.

    Before Xia Wanyuan came out, thements had already exploded.

    The host came out and said a few words, introducing the original intention of this popr science program. He also inserted two advertisements. After whetting the audience¡¯s appetite, he chuckled. ¡°I guess everyone doesn¡¯t want to see me tonight. Then let¡¯s not talk anymore. Let¡¯s invite Xia Wanyuan out.¡±

    Thunderous apuse sounded. Jun Shiling, who was in the front row, also raised his hand and apuded. Then, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a blue knee-length gown, appeared on stage.

    Her skin was as fair as snow.

    ¡°Good evening, everyone.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her eyes subconsciously nced at Jun Shiling. Her dimples appeared slightly, and Jun Shiling¡¯s face was filled with love.

    [F*ck, I want to report the official television station for lying. Is this a science program? They clearly tricked a dog toe in and kill it!]

    [ I was just wondering. With CEO Jun¡¯s personality, he shouldn¡¯t like to wear bright-colored ties. Now that I see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress, I understand. So the clown is myself. Sorry to disturb. ]

    [How blissful, I¡¯m so happy when Xia Wanyuan is shy!! I love her so much!]

    On stage, Xia Wanyuan had already restrained her expression and looked at the camera solemnly.

    The official television station did not restrict her lecture content. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s original content was to teach everyone about porcin.

    However, on the way here, Xia Wanyuan saw the trending topic about her making candy.

    Seeing that theizens were so interested in these things, Xia Wanyuan decided to tell everyone about these skills that she had found interesting in her previous life.

    The audience originally thought that the official television station¡¯s popr science program, coupled with Xia Wanyuan, a high-end professor at Qing University, would teach music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

    Xia Wanyuan looked poetic and picturesque, so the sses she taught were filled with the fragrance of books.

    Many viewers had already bought ink, paper, and inkstone and ced them in front of the television, waiting to be enlightened by Xia Wanyuan. Then, they rolled up their sleeves and started painting.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan raised her hand and a pile of delicious food appeared on the big screen behind her.

    Roast duck, mooncake, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, wheat¡­

    The dishes were delicious, and the alluring soupplemented the dishes. It waste at night, and it made one¡¯s mouth water.

    Xia Wanyuan casually ordered a dish. ¡°Let¡¯s start with this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall¡­¡±

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan introduced everything from its methods to its various legends.

    Xia Wanyuan began to tell a story, starting from Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

    There was a saying that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was made by an official of the Qing Dynasty. There was also a saying that a beggar had stolen leftovers and cooked it. There was even a rumor that this dish was made by the famous schr, Su Dongpo¡­

    Towards the end, Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°Actually, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is also an intangible cultural heritage. Our country¡¯s intangible cultural heritage has a total of four batches, ten sses, 1,372 projects, 3,145 sub-projects¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan herself was an extremely knowledgeable person. Food, craftsmanship, literature, music, everything that seemed unrted seemed to be natural to Xia Wanyuan.

    She could melt delicious food into music and describe the beauty of technology as a poem.

    The originally boring science knowledge left a deep impression in the audience¡¯s minds as Xia Wanyuan exined vividly and interestingly.

    The audience was dumbfounded.

    Even the staff who participated in the production of the show listened with relish.

    Many adults were originally very angry that their children did not sleep and watched television at night. They wanted to turn off the television, but they did not expect to be attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and watched it with the children on the sofa.

    Time passed quickly without anyone noticing.

    Until Xia Wanyuan stopped. ¡°There are too many intangible cultural inheritances, and the things contained in them are tooplicated. I only talked about one of them today. As for the rest, if you¡¯re interested, you can check it yourself. See you next week.¡±

    [ Ahhh no, I still want to hear it!!! My family and I are listening with relish!! Why are there so many cute stories behind a small dish!! The ancient people are really talented! ]

    [I finally feel how precious five thousand years of history is. In the long history, many things have been given all sorts of magical colors, and then they were passed down by word of mouth until today. This feeling of inheritance is too beautiful.]

    [I just want to say that our country¡¯s intangible cultural heritage is so much¡­ I always thought there were only a few types. I didn¡¯t expect it to be tens of thousands. Amazing, I¡¯m uneducated. Sorry to disturb you.]

    There were many people watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s program, covering all ages.

    Everyone had a habit of never thinking of understanding something when they did not know. However, when they knew a little, they would begin to be curious and want to understand everything.

    For example, tonight¡¯s science lesson.

    Xia Wanyuan only exined one of the small categories, but she quoted the scriptures and let everyone feel it.

    Oh, so any familiar element might have all sorts of magical legends and countless embarrassing stories behind it. (italics)

    The cultural heritage that had once been called upon by the officials to protect and inherit had never attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Overnight, it became popr.

    In order to cater to everyone¡¯s interest, various social media began to publicize all sorts of news rted to cultural heritage.

    If theizens were interested, more and more news would be pushed. The more it was promoted, the more interested they would be. This was a positive cycle.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan did not pay attention to the trend on the Inte. After recording the show, she went to the night market behind the television station building with Jun Shiling.

    It was already eleven o¡¯clock when Xia Wanyuan finished recording the program. In addition, it was already veryte when she finished packing. At this moment, there were not many people in the night market. There were only a few sparse customers picking and choosing at the roadside stalls.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and walked to a small stall selling sugar figurines. She pointed at the raw materials in front of him. ¡°Boss, can I make one myself? I¡¯ll give you the money.¡±

    The boss naturally agreed. ¡°Of course, no problem. Just do as you please.¡± The boss smiled and took the hundred-dor bill. He did not expect such a thing to happen, where he could rx and still earn money.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the back of the stall and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a fair wrist. She smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°I promised to teach you how to make sugar figurines.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Okay.¡±

    There were very few tourists in the night market, and most of the vendors did not know Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. No one noticed that in this corner, two people were holding sugar mash in their hands and pinching it like children.

    Xia Wanyuan patiently taught Jun Shiling how to pinch. Jun Shiling learned quickly. Not long after, he followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions and made a small person.

    This little person only had a body and a torso. He did not have a face yet and needed to be colored with paint.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand was a miniature Jun Shiling in a suit. She looked at the sugar figurine in Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Give me yours too. I¡¯ll draw it for you.¡±

    Jun Shiling dodged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. ¡°No, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling did not study painting and calligraphy, he was too familiar with Xia Wanyuan.

    He remembered every inch of her bones and every subtle expression very clearly.

    Jun Shiling stood by the roadside and dipped the tip of his pen in the vegetable juice. He carefully colored the sugar figurine in his hand. He drew a little slowly. Xia Wanyuan wanted to rush him, but she stopped because he was too serious.

    After a while, Jun Shiling handed the little person in his hand to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Take a look.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled when she saw it.

    Although Jun Shiling¡¯s painting skills were average, he had grasped her expression too well and could be considered lifelike.

    ¡°It¡¯s very good.¡± Xia Wanyuan praised Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s go home.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s praise pleased Jun Shiling. He took the sugar figurine from Xia Wanyuan and ced it with his.

    ¡°What are you doing with this?¡±

    ¡°Save them.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°This is a gift from Madam. I must take good care of it.¡±

    ¡­¡­..

    The two of them held hands and walked into the night chatting andughing.

    The show had already passed for the night. The next morning, the topic of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s knowledge was still trending on the Inte. All sorts of discussions about her appeared.

    ¡°Sister Wei, why do you think Sister Xia is so amazing?¡± Lu Li supported her chin and looked at the phone screen excitedly.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, Lu Li felt that she had studied for nothing. After all, she did not know anything about what Xia Wanyuan had said.

    Wei Jin smiled faintly. ¡°She¡¯s indeed very amazing. If you follow her, you can learn a lot.¡±

    Lu Li had a bitter expression.

    She felt that it was not bad to learn a lot from Xia Wanyuan.

    However, it was also very easy for one to feel autistic, okay? It was simply a full-scale blow.

    Lu Li nced at Wei Jin and saw that she was a little tired. ¡°Alright, Sister Wei, rest for a while. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. I¡¯ll visit you in the afternoon.¡±

    The medicine that Wei Jin was injected with contained an ingredient to help her sleep and calm her mind. She was indeed sleepy now, so she nodded at Lu Li. ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡±

    Lu Li helped Wei Jin lie down and covered her with the nket before leaving the ward.

    Just as she walked to the hall downstairs, in the same position asst time,

    She met Xuan Sheng and Ding Shanshan again.

    This time, Ding Shanshan walked beside Xuan Sheng shyly.

    Ding Shanshan wanted to speak to Xuan Sheng, but he looked impatient, so Ding Shanshan could only give up.

    She looked up and saw Lu Li walking over. Seeing that Lu Li¡¯s eyes were all glued to Xuan Sheng, hostility shed across Ding Shanshan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Ah Sheng, I have something on. I want to go to the bathroom first. Wait for me upstairs.¡±

    Darkness surged in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes, but he still lookedzy. ¡°Mm.¡±

    The two of them separated and Xuan Sheng walked towards the elevator while Ding Shanshan walked towards the corner where Lu Li was hiding.

    ¡°Where have you been these past few days? Why can¡¯t I find you? Are you deliberately not helping me cook?¡± Ding Shanshan¡¯s tone was very harsh. In order to hide it, she had found all sorts of reasons to exin to Xuan Sheng why she could not continue to send food.

    ¡°I have my own job. I didn¡¯t sell it to you either.¡± Ding Shanshan¡¯s matter-of-fact expression made Lu Li unhappy.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Ding Shanshan looked at Lu Li disdainfully. ¡°You¡¯re just a small assistant. Why are you putting on airs in front of me?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Lu Li did not stand on ceremony. ¡°Then how noble are you?¡±

    Ding Shanshan smiled smugly at Lu Li, her red lips bewitching. ¡°Little sister, I rely on this.¡±

    As she spoke, she raised her right hand and ced it on her stomach.

    Lu Li was first sad, then reacted. ¡°You haven¡¯t even been with CEO Xuan for half a month. Where did you get the child?¡±

    ¡°Yo, you¡¯re not stupid.¡± Ding Shanshan smiled. ¡°Just because you don¡¯t have it now doesn¡¯t mean I won¡¯t have it in the future. Ah Sheng has been drinking and socializing recently. His stomach hurts. Since you¡¯re back, it¡¯s time to continue sending him food, right?¡±

    On the one hand, Ding Shanshan wanted to provoke her failed love rival, Lu Li. On the other hand, she had a favor to ask of Lu Li.

    ¡°I understand.¡± On the one hand, Lu Li hated Ding Shanshan, but she would not vent her anger on Xuan Sheng. ¡°I¡¯ll give you lunch at the usual ce.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Having achieved her goal, Ding Shanshan left in satisfaction.

    At the entrance of the hospital, a man in a ck jacket saw that Ding Shanshan had finally left. He pressed down the brim of his hat and stuffed the camera hidden in his sleeve. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

 Chapter 1148 - Dumped

    <h4>Chapter 1148: Dumped</h4>

    In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Li looked at the surveince video his assistant had brought in and raised an eyebrow. ¡°Who is this youngdy?¡±

    ¡°We recently discovered this youngdy. She seems to be Xuan Sheng¡¯s admirer,¡± the assistant said as he handed the documents in his hand to Xuan Li. ¡°But Xuan Sheng doesn¡¯t seem to like her. It¡¯s just her wishful thinking.¡±

    Xuan Li¡¯s gazended on the video.

    Lu Li¡¯s lively eyes were like a deer in the forest. They were lively and cute. The way she spoke was extremely moving and filled with the vitality of youth.

    ¡°That might not be the case,¡± Xuan Li suddenly said.

    !!

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± The assistant was a little puzzled. <i>What might not be?</i>

    Xuan Li smiled and put the video aside. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Get me a copy of the youngdy¡¯s phone number and other information.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get itter. Take a look at this first. Our project in Linxi City has a conflict with the Moon Bay project developed by Xuan Sheng. He¡¯s snatching our client.¡±

    Xuan Li took the document and looked at it. A haze shed across his eyes. <i>Father Xuan valued this project very much. If I could do it well, Father Xuan would definitely value me even more. </i>

    ¡°Reduce the price until it¡¯s low. Let¡¯s win the client over first. As for the subsequent matters, let¡¯s talk about it after we stabilize the client list first.¡± Xuan Li quickly gave his opinion.

    ¡°Yes.¡± After reporting the matter, the assistant walked out of the office.

    Xuan Li leaned back in his chair and took another look at the video. He tapped lightly and the scene was paused on Lu Li¡¯s dimples.

    A glint shed across Xuan Li¡¯s eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    In Beijing Hospital, after Lu Li left, Wei Jin gradually fell asleep.

    It was only when she smelled a faint fragrance that she subconsciously sensed someone beside her. She suddenly opened her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw who was sitting beside her.

    ¡°Mother, why are you here? Didn¡¯t I say that my health has improved a lot recently and I don¡¯t need to be taken care of anymore?¡±

    Wei Jin had mostly suffered superficial injuries. They looked very terrifying, but she would recover after resting for a while.

    Wei Jin¡¯s mother, Ding Hui, was a thin woman. Perhaps because she had lived in the inner residence for a long time, her eyes looked dim.

    ¡°I have nothing to do at home myself.¡± Ding Hui smiled and picked up the food box in her hand. ¡°I just want toe over and apany you more. I made some soup for you. Drink it before you sleep. It¡¯s very nourishing.¡±

    With that, Ding Hui opened the food box. Inside was extremely soft hen soup mixed with wontons and red dates.

    The moment the lid was removed, a strong fragrance wafted over.

    Wei Jin¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Mother, you still remember that I loved to drink the soup you made when I was young?¡±

    When Wei Jin said this, Ding Hui paused in her actions. ¡°Of course I remember.¡±

    Ding Hui had married into the Wei family when she was very young. She was originally an unloved child in the Ding family. After marrying into the Wei family, she did not have the support of her family. Wei Zhong was an extremely domineering person. She lived obediently every day and did not dare to cross the line at all.

    Even after giving birth to Wei Jin, she could not raise her herself.

    The Wei family said that they were considering her health, but she knew that this was because the Wei family did not trust her.

    Wei Jin had been brought by the nanny since she was young, so Ding Hui could only secretly send her some chicken soup. Every time, the two of them would sneak to the backyard of the Wei family¡¯s mansion in the dead of the night. After eating the chicken soup, Wei Jin would pretend that nothing had happened and return to the nanny¡¯s side.

    Wei Zhong quickly sensed their actions.

    That year, Wei Jin was five years old. Wei Zhong made Wei Jin kneel in the snow for two hours until she was almost frozen before letting her into the house.

    As for Ding Hui, from then on, she was deprived of the chance to see her biological daughter. She did not even have the chance to cook another bowl of chicken soup for her daughter.

    Now, Wei Jin and Ding Hui recalled the days when they were on tenterhooks and sighed.

    Ding Hui sighed. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about back then. Now that my daughter is capable, she saved me, right? In the future, I¡¯ll make you whatever you want to eat, okay?¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Ding Hui took out a soup spoon and stirred the chicken soup a few times. She scooped out arge drumstick and ced it in a bowl, then poured out half a bowl of soup. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Mom will feed you.¡±

    Wei Jin tightened her grip on the cup and looked into Ding Hui¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mother, you¡¯ve lived so hard all these years. Is it because you were forced, or are you willing?¡±

    Ding Hui looked at Wei Jin. ¡°Why do you ask? Do you think I deliberately didn¡¯t raise you well? I just want to tell you that if I had a chance to choose back then, I would definitely take you away from that ruthless ce. Do you still me me?¡±

    Wei Jin shook her head slowly. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. I want to tell you that regardless of whether you raised me or not, I¡¯ve always treated you as my mother.¡±

    Ding Hui¡¯s eyes flickered, and tears welled up in her eyes. The hand holding the soup spoon was trembling visibly, as if she was struggling with something.

    A momentter, she forced herself to calm down and took a spoonful of soup. ¡°Drink it. It¡¯s still warm.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin nced at the fragrant chicken soup, and disappointment shed across her eyes. Then, she opened her mouth and swallowed the chicken soup in the spoon.

    ¡°Drink another mouthful.¡± Ding Hui fed Wei Jin spoonful after spoonful of soup. Only when half a bowl of chicken soup was gone and even the chicken drumstick was eaten did Ding Hui stand up. ¡°Rest well first. I¡¯ll go out and ask the doctor how you¡¯re doing.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin nodded slowly and watched Ding Hui leave. Then, she pursed her lips and pulled the nket to lie on the bed.

    Ding Hui closed the door of the ward. Through the window, she saw that Wei Jin was already lying down. She took out her phone from her pocket and made a call. ¡°She¡¯s already finished the soup.¡±

    A muffled male voice came from the other end. ¡°Someone is picking you up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Ding Hui¡¯s arm, which was holding the phone, was still trembling slightly. She nced at Wei Jin, who had clearly fallen into a deep sleep, and her face was a little pale.

    The hospital was as busy as ever. People came and went.

    Lu Li returned home in the afternoon and made a few dishes. As usual, she divided them into a few portions. When she carried the things to the hospital to visit Wei Jin, she was told that Wei Jin¡¯s mother had already helped her settle the discharge procedures and Wei Jin had already left the hospital.

    ¡°Why was she in such a hurry? Did they say why they left so quickly?¡± Lu Li was puzzled. <i>Didn¡¯t Wei Jin say in the morning that she wanted to eat pork ribs for lunch? Why did she suddenly leave the hospital? Could something have happened?</i>

    With this thought in mind, Lu Li took out her phone and called Wei Jin. Ding Hui answered.

    ¡°Miss Lu, what¡¯s the matter? Ah Jin is sleeping.¡±

    ¡°Auntie, why did you suddenly leave?¡± Lu Li ced the lunch box on the counter and shook her sore hand.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this.¡± Ding Hui¡¯s tone was very normal. ¡°I know an expert who is great at treating external injuries. You also know that there are many scabs on Wei Jin¡¯s body. Girls love to look beautiful. I want to bring her out of the hospital to visit that expert and try not to leave scars on her body.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Ding Hui was Wei Jin¡¯s mother after all, and Wei Jin usually relied on her, so Lu Li did not ask further. ¡°Then when youe back and you need help, you can call me anytime.¡±

    ¡°Thank you so much. I¡¯m still cooking, Miss Lu. I¡¯ll get busy first.¡± With that, Ding Hui hung up.

    Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Lu Li felt a little strange, but in the end, she put her phone back in her pocket.

    Ding Hui and Wei Jin were family after all. There might be something in their family that they did not want outsiders to know.

    Lu Li did not want to be that insensible and annoying person.

    She walked out with the lunch box. When she crossed the corner, she identally bumped into someone. This person seemed to be here to treat his leg. He was already limping, so when Lu Li bumped into him, she fell to the side.

    Lu Li hurriedly reached out to stop him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, are you okay?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, thank you.¡± The man¡¯s voice was very gentle. Lu Li looked up. It was a well-dressed young man. Although he was smiling, there was ayer of darkness in his eyes, making Lu Li inexplicably ufortable.

    Lu Li was about to let go when the man seemed to have touched his wound. He subconsciously gasped and leaned on Lu Li¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. My leg is injured. Can you help me upstairs? I¡¯ll pay you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded. With the lunch box in one hand and the man in the other, she sent him upstairs.

    ¡°We¡¯re here. Thank you. This is your reward. My name is Xiao Li. What¡¯s yours?¡± Xuan Li handed five hundred yuan to Lu Li and asked her with a smile.

    ¡°Lu Li.¡± Although Xuan Li gave her an average impression at first, he was very gentlemanly along the way, making Lu Li let down her guard.

    ¡°Lu Li, what a cute name.¡± Xuan Li smiled. ¡°Take the money.¡±

    ¡°No need. It was nothing.¡± Lu Li waved her hand, not wanting to ept Xuan Li¡¯s money.

    ¡°Actually, I have a presumptuous request to give you.¡± Xuan Li smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯ve been in a meeting this morning and am extremely hungry. I saw you carrying a lunch box and wanted to buy one from you.¡±

    Lu Li looked down.<i> There was an extra portion for Wei Jin anyway. </i>She handed the lunch box to Xuan Li. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Eat it. I made an extra portion anyway.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at the time and thought to herself,<i> Oh no, I¡¯mte. </i>¡°You don¡¯t have to give me money. I¡¯m leaving.¡±

    With that, Lu Li carried her things and ran downstairs.

    Behind him, the corners of Xuan Li¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Tsk.¡±

    Lu Li rushed to the ce she had agreed to meet Ding Shanshan, but she did not see her.

    She called Ding Shanshan, but no one answered.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lu Li frowned. <i>Is it inappropriate to go out today? Why can¡¯t I find people no matter where I go? I can¡¯t find this or that.</i>

    In the Beijing Hotel.

    Ding Shanshan was looking angrily at Xuan Sheng, who was not far away, and the flirtatious woman sitting beside him.

    ¡°Xuan Sheng, aren¡¯t you going too far?!¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked up slightly. ¡°Oh? How am I going too far?¡±

    ¡°Where did this womane from?! Why did you let her sit beside you? I¡¯m your girlfriend.¡± Looking at the fair-skinned and beautiful woman with an extremely good figure beside Xuan Sheng, Ding Shanshan¡¯s heart was filled with anger and jealousy.

    ¡°Yo,¡± the woman said, her voice so soft that it seemed like half of her body would soften if she heard it. ¡°Isn¡¯t Miss Ding good at poaching? Can¡¯t you tell? I sessfully seduced your boyfriend, right?¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± In the morning at the hospital, Xuan Sheng had clearly asked about her well-being. Ding Shanshan could not ept this situation for a moment. Her eyes were red. ¡°Ah Sheng, did I do something wrong? Tell me, can I change? Don¡¯t you like to eat my food the most?¡±

    Hearing about food, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered. When he looked up, his eyes were cold. He raised his arm and hugged the waist of the person beside him. ¡°You did quite well, but I¡¯m tired of it.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Ding Shanshan finally saw it clearly. There was no reluctance in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. They were as cold as ice. ¡°Are you really going to do this to me?!¡±

    Xuan Sheng lit a cigarette impatiently and leaned on the sofa. He slowly spat out a circle of eyes. ¡°Look at you and then look at her. How can youpare to her?¡±

    ¡°You bastard!¡± Seeing that there was no hope of redemption, Ding Shanshan stopped pretending. Her expression changed drastically as she pointed at Xuan Sheng and began to scold him.

    ¡°Miss.¡± The flirtatious woman looked at Ding Shanshan and smiled disdainfully. ¡°It¡¯s very embarrassing to make a scene in front of someone else¡¯s current girlfriend.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Ding Shanshan¡¯s eyes turned red from anger. She looked at the flirtatious woman. ¡°What do you think you snatched? Other than having some money, what else does Xuan Sheng have? He¡¯s just a decoration that can be seen but not used. To think you treat him like a treasure.¡±

    With that, Ding Shanshan picked up her bag and left. However, when she reached the door, Xuan Sheng suddenly said, ¡°Wait.¡±

    A hint of hope appeared in Ding Shanshan¡¯s eyes, but she maintained her expression. ¡°What?¡±

    Xuan Sheng reached out and pointed at the hair that had fallen off Ding Shanshan. ¡°Pick it up and take it away.¡±

    ¡°...¡± This was simply a in insult. Ding Shanshan gritted her teeth and turned to leave. Herst hope was shattered.

    After Ding Shanshan left, the flirtatious woman beside Xuan Sheng suddenly smiled. She was as bright as a blooming red rose. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. Xuan Sheng, you¡¯ve already be like this. Didn¡¯t you used to be surrounded by flowers? Now, you¡¯re being ridden by such trash?¡±

    Xuan Sheng took a drag on his cigarette. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    ¡°Hey, to be honest, if I didn¡¯t return to the country this time, were you going to keep bringing such a girlfriend?¡± The woman¡¯s smile widened. ¡°Why did your taste be so bad after returning to the country? Didn¡¯t the Inte say that you liked that Xia Wanyuan some time ago? That photo of her looks not bad. This Ding Shanshan is simply blinding.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked at herzily. ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more talkative.¡±

    The woman waved her messy hair. ¡°Sigh, this boyfriend is too much. He doesn¡¯t even let me speak?¡±

    ¡°You really want to be my girlfriend?¡± The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I have no problem, but someone might have.¡±

    The woman, who had been teasing just now, immediately changed her expression. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re boring. You were the one who wanted me to help pretend to be your girlfriend just now. I was just joking, but you took it seriously.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll arrange a ce for you to stay. Rest well and don¡¯t talk nonsense outside.¡±

    The woman snorted softly.

    <i>I did not know who had asked me for help just now. Now that I had helped, Xuan Sheng began to burn the bridge.</i>

    Xuan Sheng had many things to do, so he gave the woman a piece of paper. ¡°Here, this is the contact information and address. Go out and y by yourself. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±

    ¡°... Hmph.¡± Only then did the woman put on her coat and take Xuan Sheng¡¯s wallet. She took out a bank card inside. ¡°I¡¯m a guest. If you want to treat me to a meal, you don¡¯t have toe. What¡¯s the password?¡±

    ¡°Six fours.¡± Xuan Sheng rubbed his eyebrows. He suddenly regretted suggesting that Feng Wuyou return to the country.

    <i>This woman was a huge problem.</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Lu Li returned to the production team, she told Xia Wanyuan about Wei Jin¡¯s discharge.

    Wei Jin had always had a good rtionship with her mother. After knowing that Ding Hui had handled the discharge, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll call Wei Jin when I have time.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded.

    After all sorts of scenes, the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had basically entered the final stage.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scenes were filmed at the beginning. Although she no longer had to film, ever since Xia Wanyuan guided the filming once, the director wished he could keep Xia Wanyuan on the set every day.

    ¡°Wanyuan, how about changing this scene?¡± The director leaned towards Xia Wanyuan with a thick script in his hand.

    ¡°Wanyuan, do you think the male and female leads need another background when they meet?¡±

    ¡°Yuan Yuan...¡±

    The director had a million questions as he grabbed Xia Wanyuan, this sheep that worked hard. Although he was a little tired, Xia Wanyuan knew that the director was sincerely asking for guidance, so she patiently apanied him for the entire afternoon.

    It was only when it was almost time to get off work in the evening that the director reluctantly put away the script.

    He looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m too ashamed. You¡¯re too amazing. Wanyuan, you canpletely film and act your next movie by yourself. Anyway, you¡¯re an all-rounded talent.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was speechless. Coincidentally, Lu Li sent over a cup of throat-soothing white fungus soup. Only then did the director realize that he had been pestering Xia Wanyuan for the entire afternoon. He scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. It¡¯s been hard on you. Hurry up and go home to rest. See you tomorrow.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan finished the white fungus soup, Lu Li had already packed her things. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sister Xia. It¡¯s time to get off work.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan brought Lu Li out. Just as they left the set, they heard cries not far away.

    Lu Li nced in the direction of the crying and happened to see a grandfather and granddaughter. The olddy was wiping her tears. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, she cried even louder.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and retracted her gaze, walking straight forward.

    The olddy cried as she looked at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that she had no intention of stopping beside her, she gave her grandson a look.

    Her grandson immediately ran to Xia Wanyuan and stopped her. ¡°Big Sister, can you help us?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. ¡°Help what?¡±

    The olddy hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°Youngdy, my health isn¡¯t good. The child¡¯s grandfather suddenly became seriously ill. I have to go to the hospital. Can you help me take care of my small stall? I¡¯ll be back in an hour.¡±

    Lu Li spoke up. ¡°Why don¡¯t I help you look after it?¡±

    She knew that Jun Shiling was definitely already waiting for Xia Wanyuan. Anyway, she was free and could help.

    However, the olddy¡¯s gaze nevernded on her. She kept staring at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was silent, she gave her grandson a look.

    The child immediately knelt down to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Big Sister, please do something good. Please do something good.¡±

    The child¡¯s sudden kneel not only frightened Lu Li, but also attracted the gazes of the passers-by.

    ¡°Get up first.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the small stall beside her. It sold candy figurines.

    However, the business was definitely average. Xia Wanyuan was an expert and could tell at a nce that the sugar was mixed with rock sugar. The juice used to color it was not from vegetables, and it was too bright.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, I won¡¯t get up.¡± The child knelt stubbornly, and the olddy knelt beside him. ¡°Please, you look very kind.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned cold as she took a step forward.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, the olddy was overjoyed. Just as she was about to stand up and lead Xia Wanyuan over, she saw Xia Wanyuan walk past the two people in front of her and leave.

    Displeasure shed across the olddy¡¯s eyes. She raised her chin at her grandson. The child immediately rushed towards Xia Wanyuan, wanting to hug her leg and not let her leave.

    Xia Wanyuan gestured. In an instant, four guards in ck shed over from both sides of the street and blocked the boy¡¯s path.

    Seeing that her grandson¡¯s appearance was not helping, the olddy was anxious and shouted at Xia Wanyuan, ¡°Why are you so ruthless? So what if I ask you to help me take care of the stall? Isn¡¯t it an urgent matter? Didn¡¯t you say on television that you wanted to protect our cultural heritage? I¡¯m selling sugar figurine, so why aren¡¯t you protecting it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°You know me?¡±

    The old woman realized that she had said something wrong, but she made up her mind.<i> So what if I know? </i>¡°So what if I¡¯ve watched television?! If you can help others watch the stall, why can¡¯t you help me?¡±

    The olddy did not usually watch the news, but that day, she heard from the surrounding people that a stall owner who had been taken care of by Xia Wanyuan had be the representative of that city¡¯s cultural heritage and had earned a lot of money.

    There were countless tourists who went every day because of her. Listening to their descriptions, the olddy remembered that the person who came out of the production team every day was Xia Wanyuan. Only then did she have a trick up her sleeve.

    Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan could help others look after the stall but was unwilling to help her?

    ¡°I¡¯ll get the bodyguards to watch for you over here. Go to the hospital and visit your husband.¡± Looking at the thin child not far away, Xia Wanyuan did not pursue the matter in the end.

    With that, she left. Behind her, the olddy scolded the bodyguards and her grandson.

    ¡°These people are too much...¡± Lu Li, who had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, frowned. ¡°You¡¯re kind, but in the end, she wants to use you to earn money. This olddy is disrespectful.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s human nature. She won¡¯t be the only one,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied.

    ¡°Huh? Will others be so bad too? No way.¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes widened.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head slightly. When it came to benefits, there had always been many people who crossed the line.

    What Lu Li did not know was that there were already many phenomena on the Inte using Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan finished the popr science program on national television, arge number of merchants and scenic spots promoted their ¡°cultural heritage¡± in her name.

    Not everyone in China had the ability to distinguish between real and fake information. Many unscrupulous merchants used all sorts of screenshots of Xia Wanyuan on the show to deceive consumers¡¯ trust.

    Not everyone had the ability to distinguish between real and fake information. Under all sorts of tricks, many people were deceived.

    The merchants had long run away after earning enough money. If they could not find someone to take responsibility, the responsibility could only fall on Xia Wanyuan, whom everyone knew.

    The situation had just sprouted and had yet to form a certain scale. Everyone had been cheated of a small sum of money, and these things had not attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was already a little vignt, but she had yet to pay attention to the specific incident.

    She got off work early today. Jun Shiling was in a meeting at thepany, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to look for him at thepany.

    When the car drove to a congested road, it was suddenly chased by a car behind.

 Chapter 1149 - Venting Anger; Save People

    <h4>Chapter 1149: Venting Anger; Save People</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    In order to miss the peak hour congestion, the driver specially chose a street with fewer people. He did not expect someone to bump into the rear here.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go down and take a look.¡± Lu Li put down her things and pushed open the car door to get out.

    She was about to coordinate with the people in the car behind when her eyes widened.

    The bright color and extremely wild design were very simr to Xuan Sheng¡¯s car.

    Lu Li looked at the front windshield of the car. She could see a small canary hanging in the car. Lu Li was now certain that this was Xuan Sheng¡¯s car.

    At this moment, a ck figure walked out of the car and stopped Lu Li.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, little sister. I¡¯m not quite used to this car. I knocked you, right? How much is it? I¡¯ll pay. Can you write a check?¡± The person who spoke was an extremely beautiful woman. Her wavy hair made her small face look even more exquisite. The thick makeup did not look out of ce on her face at all. Instead, it stimted her gorgeous beauty.

    Lu Li was stunned for a moment. She looked at the car and then at the person. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Feng Wuyou flipped her hair. Seeing that the little girl in front of her was in a daze and felt that she was quite cute, her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Can you lend me a pen, little beauty? I don¡¯t have a pen.¡±

    Lu Li was about to turn around and get a pen from the car when Xia Wanyuan pushed open the car door and got out.

    When Feng Wuyou saw Xia Wanyuan, her eyes lit up slightly.<i>?This was the woman Xuan Sheng liked? As expected, she was worlds apart from that Ding Shanshan just now. I knew it. When did Xuan Sheng¡¯s taste be so bad??</i>

    ¡°Miss Xia Wanyuan.¡± Feng Wuyou waved at her. ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about you. It¡¯s our first time meeting. You¡¯re indeed as beautiful as in the photo.¡±

    Facing this stranger¡¯s sudden greeting, Xia Wanyuan was very calm. ¡°Miss, you are?¡±

    ¡°My name is Feng Wuyou.¡± Feng Wuyou smiled at Xia Wanyuan flirtatiously. Her eyes flickered. ¡°I¡¯m Xuan Sheng¡¯s girlfriend. Haha, hello. I¡¯ve always heard that Xuan Sheng likes you very much.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Feng Wuyou seriously. After seeing that there was no sarcasm in her words and that she was seriously expressing the truth, she felt a little strange.

    Although Lu Li had long guessed it, she still felt a little sad when she heard it herself.

    It seemed that everyone could stand beside Xuan Sheng, but not her.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for bumping into your car. Can you add me on WeChat? I¡¯ll transfer the money to you.¡± Feng Wuyou, who had grown up in America, had a very straightforward personality. She was a standard beauty lover.

    Back then, she could make friends with Xuan Sheng because he looked quite to her liking.

    Now that she saw Xia Wanyuan, she felt that Xia Wanyuan really matched her aesthetic standards. No matter what, she had to add Xia Wanyuan¡¯s WeChat first.

    Furthermore, she was very curious about what the girl Xuan Sheng liked was like.

    Lu Li knew that Xia Wanyuan would not add strangers. She stood up and said, ¡°Miss Feng, you can add me. Just transfer it to me.¡±

    Feng Wuyou shrugged. ¡°Alright then.¡±

    With that, she handed the phone to Lu Li without any defense. ¡°Then please help me with it. I don¡¯t know how to operate it.¡±

    How many years had it been since she returned to China? She did not know anything about these new social apps.

    After Lu Li added Feng Wuyou¡¯s WeChat, Feng Wuyou transferred 50,000 yuan to Lu Li¡¯s phone. ¡°Is it enough?¡±

    Lu Li looked at the spot where the rear had been hit. There was only a small mark. ¡°It¡¯s too much, right?¡±

    Feng Wuyou waved her phone. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Anyway, I didn¡¯t spend my own money.¡±

    She looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Goodbye, Miss Xia. I still have something on, so I¡¯ll leave. Let¡¯s meet again if fate allows it.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou floated back into the car like a gust of wind. A huge roar sounded. Feng Wuyou drove with one hand, then waved at Xia Wanyuan with a smile. Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at her.

    After Feng Wuyou disappeared from her sight, Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Li, who was lowering her head. A hint of regret shed across her eyes.

    She walked forward and patted Lu Li¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be sad.¡±

    Lu Li looked up. To Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surprise, although she looked a little disappointed, she did not cry. Lu Li pursed her lips. ¡°Sister Xia, I know CEO Xuan doesn¡¯t like me. I¡¯m already prepared.¡±

    She brought Xuan Sheng food and cared about him, but she could not let go. This did not affect Xuan Sheng from having a girlfriend and liking other people.

    Although the person she liked was Xuan Sheng, Xuan Sheng was also free. What Xuan Sheng did had nothing to do with her.

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s good that you think that way. You¡¯re still young. You¡¯ll meet the most suitable person eventually.¡±

    Lu Li nodded obediently. She admired Xia Wanyuan the most. She felt that whatever Xia Wanyuan said was right.

    The two of them returned to the car. After Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Jun Corporation, she asked the chauffeur to send Lu Li back.

    Now, all the employees of the Jun Corporation were looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival.

    Everyone knew that every time Xia Wanyuan came to pick Jun Shiling up, thepany would knock off very early.

    ¡°Hello, Madam.¡± ¡°Hello, Madam.¡±

    As she walked, everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan with enthusiastic smiles.

    Xia Wanyuan took the special elevator upstairs herself. Jun Shiling was still in the meeting room for a meeting, so Xia Wanyuan waited for him alone in the office.

    Jun Shiling did not take his phone and ced it on his desk.

    They had exchanged phone passwords with each other. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone was out of battery, so she took Jun Shiling¡¯s phone and yed with it.

    Unexpectedly, not long after she picked it up, an encrypted message was sent.

    The information was stored on a website with a password. Xia Wanyuan did not click on it, but the other party quickly sent another message. ¡°Sir, this is Xia Yu¡¯s news. He¡¯s safe for now. We¡¯ve already found him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.?<i>Xia Yu??</i>

    <i>Did something happen to Xia Yu??</i>

    Putting her doubts aside, Xia Wanyuan used Jun Shiling¡¯s phone to read the news.

    She saw that she was on the trending list again on Weibo.

    Not only did the grandmother and grandson she had met at the door not go to the hospital to take care of their so-called partner, but after she left, they even threw a tantrum and chased away the bodyguards she had left there.

    This was not all. The more the old woman thought about it, the angrier she became.

    She had heard from others that Xia Wanyuan had helped others look after the stall that day. That stall owner had earned more than five thousand yuan.

    Furthermore, there were many tourists who went to buy sugar figurines the next day. The stall owner¡¯s stall became an Inte celebrity stall. Many people went to take photos and that family became rich.

    When it came to her, Xia Wanyuan did not give her any face.

    The old woman felt that it was because Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to help her that she had lost thousands of dors.

    Hence, she sat in front of the stall andined about how heartless Xia Wanyuan was. She was not even willing to do such a small favor and watched her husband live alone in the hospital. Xia Wanyuan was still unwilling to spend some time helping her take care of the stall.

    Many of the surrounding stall owners were her usual friends. Hearing her cry, they helped her scold Xia Wanyuan.

    Not only did they scold Xia Wanyuan for not helping look after the stall, but they also scolded Xia Wanyuan for being so rich and not knowing to give them some. Seeing that they were still selling things in the cold at such an old age, why was she so unfilial?

    The scene of a group of elders sitting around the entrance of the production team was too eye-catching. A media reporter went to interview them. The elders were even more excited when they saw the camera and began toin about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°evil deeds¡±.

    They had been setting up stalls at the entrance of the production team for a long time, so they naturally knew how important public opinion was to celebrities in the entertainment industry. Since Xia Wanyuan did not give them money, they would make Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation not sound good!

    However, to these people¡¯s surprise,

    After the olddies criticized Xia Wanyuan one after another, not only did the reporters not gain any supporters, but they were also scolded very badly.

    [ F*ck, bad people have really be old. Are these old witches crazy?? Xia Wanyuan is even willing to lend her bodyguard to you, yet you still find this and that annoying. If you have time, can¡¯t you visit your husband? Looking at how she¡¯s not in a hurry at all, it really makes people suspect that she has a husband. ]

    [The person in front, you don¡¯t understand. How can a bodyguardpare to Xia Wanyuan personally watching the stall? How is it because she doesn¡¯t have time? She¡¯s clearly here for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation. I think this old woman is more shrewd than anyone.]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. What¡¯s the difference between these people and beggars? Beggars should reach out to others for money. What right does Xia Wanyuan have to give them money? All of them say it so righteously. It makes me angry. ]

    After too many reversals, the currentizens would no longer blindly follow the trend when looking at problems. Instead, they would calm down and think about whether what they saw was the truth.

    After theizens scolded online, they still felt that it was not enough to vent their anger. After finding out where these people were selling things, they quickly rushed to the entrance of the production team.

    A group of people was cursing Xia Wanyuan for being insensible and unfilial when a group of angry young people suddenly walked over.

    ¡°What are you doing? Are Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans going to bully us?¡± The vendors shouted at the top of their lungs.

    The fans were very angry and helpless. In the end, they could only sit around the vendors. Every time they said something, the fans would retort.

    No matter how the elders quarreled, they were not as energetic as the young. Everyone argued for a long time, and in the end, the fans won.

    Scrolling through the news online and the Weibo posts shared byizens, Xia Wanyuan looked relieved.

    She could tell that the atmosphere on the Inte was much better now. At least when everyone saw something, they would not blindly scold her. Compared to the explosive scenesst year, it was much more harmonious now.

    Xia Wanyuan was watching when Jun Shiling walked in with the documents. Seeing Xia Wanyuan on the chair, he waved at Lin Jing to go out first, then unbuttoned a suit. He stepped forward and picked Xia Wanyuan up, cing her in his arms.

    ¡°Hello?!¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°Can you take note that we¡¯re in thepany?¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lower lip, saying vaguely, ¡°I don¡¯t want to notice.¡±

    After a while, the two of them separated. Xia Wanyuan was already blushing. ¡°What happened to you today?¡±

    Although Jun Shiling was very enthusiastic in the past, he was a little too enthusiastic today.

    Jun Shiling leaned on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just miss you. I¡¯ll pack up. Let¡¯s go home.¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling. ¡°I just saw the message on your phone. What happened to Xia Yu?¡±

    Jun Shiling paused and took the phone. He entered a few passwords and the encrypted website opened. ¡°Look.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling¡¯s actions and looked at the information on the website. It showed that Xia Yu had once been injured in a sea battle. After disappearing for half a month, he was found again. His condition was currently stable.

    ¡°Xia Yu is injured?¡± Worry shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Is it serious?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°The doctor has already seen it. It¡¯s a small injury. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I haven¡¯t contacted him in a long time. I want to talk to him for a while.¡± Coincidentally, she had mentioned Xia Yu today, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to use Jun Shiling to see how Xia Yu was doing.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling took out hisputer and clicked on a secret contact website. ¡°I¡¯ll help you contact him.¡±

    In Continent F, China¡¯s ship was docked by the coast. On the beach not far away, Xia Yu was kicking the stones aimlessly.

    Suddenly, his teammate¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Xia Yu, themander is looking for you.¡±

    Xia Yu walked back to the ship unhappily. He took the phone and his eyes lit up instantly. ¡°Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gentle voice came from the video. ¡°How have you been recently? I heard that you¡¯re injured. Is it serious?¡±

    Xia Yu shook his head and raised his arm. ¡°It¡¯s not serious. Sister, look, I can move.¡±

    ¡°Mm, take good care of yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan was relieved. She instructed Xia Yu a lot of things before hanging up.

    Xia Yu held his phone and felt homesick.

    He had never thought much about China after being out for so long. Now that he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, he suddenly felt his heart ache.

    ¡°Yo, Officer Xia, is this your family calling you again? Sigh, it¡¯s good to have an official family. If you want to contact your family, you can contact them.¡± Xia Yu was thinking when a dark and thin man walked over.

    This person was Zhou Zhou, a member of Xia Yu¡¯s team. Back then, he had entered the team with the same results as Xia Yu. However, this time, after the internal level change, Xia Yu had be the vice-captain, but he was still an ordinary member. He was very unconvinced of Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu nced at him and could not be bothered with him. He put down his phone and prepared to leave.

    However, Zhou Zhou blocked his path. ¡°Xia Yu, don¡¯t think that just because you have background, you can act as if no one can provoke you. If you don¡¯t have any rtives who are officials, can you be the vice-captain?¡±

    Xia Yu looked at Zhou Zhou fiercely. ¡°In thest sea battle, you didn¡¯t fight well and missed your opportunity. Don¡¯t always attribute your problems to others.¡±

    Hearing Xia Yu mention thest sea battle, an unnatural look shed across Zhou Zhou¡¯s face. That day, he had secretly drunk some wine and was sleepy when the enemy came, almost causing a huge mistake.

    That was indeed his problem, but when Xia Yu said it, Zhou Zhou felt that Xia Yu was mocking him. ¡°Pfft, don¡¯t keep showing off your contribution in thest sea battle. Who knows if you were really captured by the enemy? I¡¯m afraid you hid somewhere for half a month and came back to take credit.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Xia Yu gritted his teeth and grabbed Zhou Zhou¡¯s cor.

    ¡°Why?¡± Zhou Zhou sneered. ¡°Are you going to bully me just because you have a backer?¡±

    In the end, Xia Yu calmed down and pushed Zhou Zhou away. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to talk to someone like you who only knows how to me the heavens.¡±

    Xia Yu left directly, leaving Zhou Zhou with a straight back.

    Zhou Zhou spat on the ground. ¡°Pfft, what are you? Let¡¯s see if you can stillughter.¡±

    Xia Yu left the room and went to the kitchen to get some food. Then, he walked up to the deck to look for a Chinese child he had picked up from the battlefield some time ago.

    The child¡¯s parents were Chinese. The father was a Chinese military doctor and the mother was a nurse.

    In a war, the two of them died, leaving only a five-year-old child sitting beside his parents¡¯ corpses and crying. Xia Yu saw that he was crying pitifully and brought him back.

    Xia Yu walked to the deck and looked around, but he could not find the child.

    ¡°Do you see Stone? I asked him to wait for me on the deck.¡± Xia Yu asked a team member.

    The team member recalled. ¡°I think I saw him heading towards that city just now. Why don¡¯t you go there and look for him?¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Yu said and was about to leave.

    ¡°Hey, Xia Yu, the ship is leaving the harbor in fifteen minutes. Come back quickly. Don¡¯t waste time.¡±

    As Xia Yu walked forward, he waved his hand. ¡°I know. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    At this moment, a strange aura filled the city not far away.

    A little boy of about four or five years old was walking along the street to the ce Zhou Zhou had told him.

    He liked Brother Xia Yu very much, but a dark and thin big brother had just told him that Xia Yu was sick and was recuperating in the hospital here.

    Stone could not help but walk down from the ship, wanting to see Xia Yu.

    However, to his disappointment, he could not find Xia Yu after searching for a long time.

    Xia Yu entered from the entrance of the city. Just as he entered the market, he felt that something was wrong. He acutely sensed that the air here was filled with an indescribable smell.

    Xia Yu subconsciously felt that there was danger. He walked along the street and looked for Stone..

    Time passed minute by minute. When it was time for the ship to leave, everyone began to gather.

    ¡°Reporting, everyone is here.¡± It was Zhou Zhou¡¯s turn to be on duty today. He brought people tob through the people before reporting to themander.

    The officer scanned the name list. ¡°Okay, we just received a mission. We have to go back immediately. Everyone, return to your posts and let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Zhou Zhou bowed and turned to leave with a smug smile.

    Not long after the ship left the harbor, the ship received news that there was chaos in the coastal city they had just docked.

    However, that was someone else¡¯s country and had nothing to do with them.

    Although everyone sighed, they did not say anything else. They were only d that they had left early and did not get implicated.

    Hearing this news, Zhou Zhou could not hide the joy on his face.

    ¡°Xia Yu, you can¡¯t me me for this. I just wanted you to be punished. Who asked you to be so unlucky to encounter a riot? You deserve it.¡±

    In the city by the sea, the sudden chaos broke the peace of the city. Amidst the bombardment, everyone covered their heads and fled.

    Xia Yu walked along the street and finally saw Stone. At this moment, a man in ck was pointing a gun at Stone.

    Xia Yu jumped forward and rolled Stone to the side.

    ¡°Brother Xia Yu! You¡¯re not sick!¡± Stone was shocked by the chaos, but his eyes still shone with excitement when he saw Xia Yu.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xia Yu hugged Stone and stuck his head out to see the terrain.

    ¡°A very dark brother told me that you were sick and asked me toe and see you.¡±

    Hearing Stone¡¯s words, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes darkened.?<i>Zhou Zhou must have deliberately sent Stone here.</i>

    However, it was useless for him to think about this now. The most important thing now was to escape safely from here.

    ¡°Come, hold my hand.¡± Xia Yu retracted his head and carefully instructed Stone. ¡°Remember, no matter what, don¡¯t stop. No matter what happens.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone nodded seriously.

    Xia Yu pulled him out along various alleys. He had seen the terrain here on the coast just now. There was a forest in the southwest. It was easy to hide inside.

    His weapons were all on the ship. Now, he could only walk northwest with a knife.

    On the way, they encountered many rebels. Xia Yu finished them with a sh. Hot blood spewed out and sshed on him and Stone. Stone was so frightened that his eyes were filled with tears, but he still remembered Xia Yu¡¯s words. No matter what, he did not stop.

    After some time, they could finally see the entrance to the forest. At this moment, the enemy had discovered Xia Yu and Stone. A group of people rushed over. Xia Yu picked up Stone and threw him toward a tree not far away, while he tore off a piece of clothing and quickly lit it.

    Smelling the wine fragrance in the air, Xia Yu instinctively brought the cloth to the room in front. As expected, there were arge number of wine cans inside.

    Xia Yu threw the wine out, then threw the burning cloth over. The mes immediately soared.

    The climate here was dry, and a single spark was enough to cause a fire. Soon, the enemy¡¯s path was blocked by the fire.

    Through the rising mes, they could see Xia Yu¡¯s running figure. The enemy had no choice but to take out his gun and shoot. Then, he watched Xia Yu¡¯s figure disappear into the forest.

    No one would give up their original mission because of this person who had run away. Seeing that capturing Xia Yu was fruitless, they returned.

    In the dense forest, Stone¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard footsteps. ¡°Brother Xia Yu.¡±

    Xia Yu walked towards him and fell when he was a step away from Stone.

    Stone hurriedly ran over. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    When he supported Xia Yu, he realized that Xia Yu¡¯s back was already covered in blood. Two bullets had hit his back.

    Xia Yu frowned andpletely lost consciousness.

    Stone had experienced such a scene a few days ago. That time, his parents had been shot and died in his arms. Now, seeing Xia Yu fall into his arms and Stone was still a child, he could not help but cry.

    ¡°Brother Xia Yu, wake up.¡± He wanted to drag Xia Yu up, but he could not move him at all. Instead, whenever Xia Yu moved, blood would flow out of his body, scaring him so much that he did not dare to move anymore.

    Seeing that Xia Yu was about to die, there was nothing he could do. Stone¡¯s cries became louder.

    ¡°Little friend, what¡¯s wrong? Who¡¯s injured?¡± Just as he was about to lose all hope, an English female voice suddenly came from behind.

    Stone turned around. Behind him was a Chinese woman in a simple shirt with her hair tied up high.

    Seeing the child¡¯s face, Lin Yi was a little surprised. She hurriedly stepped forward and changed to Chinese. ¡°Is this your father? Move aside first. I¡¯m a doctor. I¡¯ll give him first aid.¡±

    Stone hurriedly retreated and stood aside.

    The dense forest was so quiet that there was only the sound of insects and birds. Time passed minute by minute.

    The sunlight fell from the east to the west. It was only when night fell that Lin Yi finally stood up. ¡°Alright, this ce is too close to the city. It¡¯s not safe. I¡¯ll go make a drag. We have to leave quickly and walk in.¡±

    In the dense forestte at night, Lin Yi used the vines to make a drag and carefully led Xia Yu forward. Stone followed behind with the medical kit, afraid that the enemy would detect them. The three of them did not even turn on their shlights and relied on some nts in the dense forest that glowed at night to watch the way.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In China, Feng Wuyou went out and returned to Xuan Sheng¡¯s ce. The moment she entered, she took off her cashmere coat and revealed the sling shirt she was wearing.

    Xuan Sheng nced at it. ¡°Wear your clothes properly.¡±

    Feng Wuyou snorted softly. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. In the past, you even said that I was good-looking. Now, you¡¯re even avoiding suspicion. With our rtionship, do we still need to avoid suspicion, boyfriend?¡±

    Xuan Sheng could not be bothered to talk nonsense with her. He took a nket and threw it at her.

    Feng Wuyou flipped her hair and blinked at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Hey, I met Xia Wanyuan on the way today.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes subconsciously flickered.

    Feng Wuyou smiled. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected, to be honest, that Xia Wanyuan is really good-looking. That temperament. Aiyo, if I were a man, I would like her too. No wonder she can make King Xuan fall in love.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s head hurt from her noise. ¡°Can you go to your room and leave me alone?¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± Feng Wuyou lit a cigarette and took a puff. Her lipstick reflected on the cigarette butt, leaving a faint circle of red. ¡°I¡¯m your-.¡±

    ¡°If you¡¯re not leaving, I¡¯ll leave.¡± Xuan Sheng really regretted letting Feng Wuyou return to China.

    ¡°Don¡¯t. I still want to hear you tell me about your rtionship with Xia Wanyuan. Sigh, why didn¡¯t you chase her You can¡¯t do it. If I had returned to China earlier to be your strategist, do you think you would have wooed her long ago?¡±

    Xuan Sheng took a deep breath. ¡°If you disturb me again, I¡¯ll email your family and tell them where you are.¡± With that, Xuan Sheng pushed open the door and left. He took the elevator downstairs and drove to thepany in one go.

    It was already one in the morning, and there were few cars and pedestrians on the road.

    Xuan Sheng slowed down and slowly looked at the night sky.

    Suddenly, he slowed down even more and rolled up the window.

    Not far away, a group of people were escorting a woman to the car. The woman seemed to struggle, but she was quickly stopped.

    He had just met that woman once. She was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cousin.

 Chapter 1150 - Post

    <h4>Chapter 1150: Post</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xuan Sheng frowned slightly. He hid in the darkness and observed the situation opposite.

    That group of people seemed to be very alert and kept observing the surroundings.

    After everyone entered the car, the ck car hid in the night and drove southwest.

    Xuan Sheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he stepped on the elerator and followed the ck car.

    The person in the ck car was very vignt and quickly discovered the red sports car following behind.

    ¡°Brother, there¡¯s something wrong with the car behind us. It seems to be following us.¡±

    A middle-aged man with a beard turned around and took a look. He put down his serious guard. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. It¡¯s probably some drunk rich man. No one follows others with a red sports car.¡±

    Using such a bright color to follow other people, was he afraid that he would not be discovered fast enough?

    ¡°But let¡¯s not circle around him. Change paths.¡±

    With that, the ck car changed directions.

    When Xuan Sheng chased to the corner, he suddenly realized that the ck car was gone.

    This ce was too remote. There was not even a passing car. Xuan Sheng felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He turned the car around and walked back.

    Finally, he arrived at the edge of the city. Xuan Sheng took out his phone and wanted to call Xia Wanyuan.

    After opening WeChat, he suddenly remembered that Xia Wanyuan had never epted his friend request.

    The corners of Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up mockingly. In the end, he found Lu Li¡¯s phone number and left a message for her. Then, he turned off his phone and drove into the night.

    Lu Li was about to sleep when she received a message from Xuan Sheng. She was so frightened that her heart stopped for a moment. When she clicked on it, she saw that it was a message about Wei Jin.

    Lu Li hurriedly called Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hello?¡± Xia Wanyuan seemed to have fallen asleep, her voice a little tired.

    ¡°Sister Xia, CEO Xuan just sent me a message. He said that he saw Sister Wei being taken away on the street!¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan heard this, her sleepiness disappeared. She sat up. ¡°What else did Xuan Sheng say?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s all. CEO Xuan said that he didn¡¯t see them again when he chased them to Hongqiao Road.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand. Rest first. I¡¯ll send someone to investigate.¡± Xia Wanyuan hung up and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Wei Jin was kidnapped.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly. ¡°How can that be? I set up protection personnel in the hospital.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pondered for a moment. ¡°The bodyguards haven¡¯t replied for so long. This means that the person who took Wei Jin away should be someone they think won¡¯t have a problem.¡±

    Jun Shiling also sat up. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with that Ding Hui. I¡¯ll get someone to investigate now.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she lifted the nket and went to the study with Jun Shiling.

    An hourter, there was finally news. ¡°Wei Jin was taken away by Ding Hui. They stayed at Wei Jin¡¯s house in Beijing for two days and was sent to the Beijing airport tonight. She has already left Beijing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was a little solemn. ¡°Was she brought back by the Wei family?¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coat. ¡°I think so. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already sent people to guard the southern airport. If there¡¯s any news, they¡¯ll tell us.¡±

    Worry shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°That¡¯s the only way.¡±

    On the ne heading south from Beijing, Wei Jin, who was lying on the seat, slowly opened her eyes as the ne shook violently.

    ¡°Come, Ah Jin, have some water.¡± Ding Hui stepped forward with a cup and ced it by Wei Jin¡¯s mouth.

    Wei Jin looked away. ¡°Mother, I didn¡¯t expect you to send me back to the Wei family.¡±

    Ding Hui paused. ¡°Ah Jin, you can¡¯t me me. Your father is right. As a member of the Wei family, you can¡¯t only think about yourself. You have to consider the family.¡±

    Wei Jin sneered. ¡°To be like you who thought for the family and thenpletely turned yourself into a puppet in that deep courtyard? A puppet that can attack your own daughter wantonly?¡±

    Ding Hui clenched her fists. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you think, but you¡¯re my only child. I beg you to understand Mommy. Mommy¡¯s family still needs the Wei family¡¯s help. How can you be so selfish and only care about your own happiness and not care about Mommy¡¯s family?¡±

    Coldness shed across Wei Jin¡¯s eyes. ¡°Yes, for your younger siblings, you canpletely betray your daughter. Have you thought about how Wei Zhong will treat me after sending me back to the Wei family?¡±

    Hearing Wei Jin¡¯s words, Ding Hui looked elsewhere guiltily. ¡°It¡¯s just marrying someone.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m already married! Bigamy is not allowed inw!¡±

    Ding Hui did not dare to look into Wei Jin¡¯s eyes. ¡°Just change your identity. Anyway, just pretend that the original Wei Jin is already dead.¡±

    Seeing Wei Jin like this, Ding Hui was helpless. She knew very well that doing this would chill the rtionship between mother and daughter, but she had no choice.

    She was also helpless. The Ding siblings had relied on her marriage to the Wei family to squander their assets. Now, the Ding family was no longer as prosperous as before and had be a huge empty shell.

    She was someone who cared about her face. She did not allow others to poke at her back and say that her family had fallen.

    She could only follow Wei Zhong¡¯s intentions. On the surface, she formed a good rtionship with Wei Jin and told Wei Zhong everything behind her back.

    After Wei Zhong figured out the change in guards in the hospital, he sent someone to kidnap Wei Jin.

    Wei Jin looked out of the window. The stars were bright tonight, but her mood was even darker than the night outside.

    ¡°Mother, do you know why I was thest person to sessfullyplete the assessment in the Wei family¡¯s old residence?¡±

    To the younger generation of the Wei family, they had their own missions from the moment they were born.

    Boys had to learn all sorts of business knowledge and strive to be the sessor of the family in the future.

    Girls had to be gathered together to learn the four arts and be the best soft weapon in the Wei family.

    In the big families in the south, there had always been a saying: ¡°The Wei family¡¯s wife, many families will marry.¡±

    What this meant was that the Wei family had nurtured beautiful women and sent them to variousrge families for marriage, forming a hugework.

    And Wei Jin was the most outstanding woman among so many generations of training.

    Ding Hui turned around and looked at Wei Jin¡¯s almost perfect facial features. ¡°You¡¯ve been smart since you were young and have a good personality.¡±

    Wei Jin smiled and looked straight into Ding Hui¡¯s eyes. It was like a knife that stabbed straight into Ding Hui¡¯s heart. ¡°No, it¡¯s because I saw when I was very young that you were mocked and bullied by others because you only had one daughter. From then on, I swore that I would practice hard and surpass everyone. I would never embarrass you again.¡±

    Ding Hui¡¯s face turned pale. She held the cup in her hand tightly. After a while, she lowered her head. ¡°What¡¯s the use of that? In the Wei family, if you can¡¯t give birth to a son, that¡¯s your fate. So what if you¡¯re outstanding? Your fate is still to marry someone and be someone else¡¯s wife.¡±

    Wei Jin closed her eyes. ¡°Up to you. I don¡¯t want to say anything else.¡±

    Ding Hui nced at Wei Jin¡¯s cold side profile and sighed. She stepped forward and pulled the nket over to cover Wei Jin.

    Feeling the small weight on her body, Wei Jin turned her head to the side.

    In the middle of the night, it was silent, but there were always waves rising in some ces.

    In the Mu family¡¯s vi, Zhang Yi looked at Mu Ting carefully. ¡°Hubby, you won¡¯t me me, right?¡±

    She observed Mu Ting¡¯s expression, not knowing if he was happy or not.

    ¡°Aiya, at that time, Wei Zhong came to me. I thought that we should teach Wei Jin a lesson for joining forces with the Mu family to bully our Mu family, so I agreed.¡±

    Zhang Yi had only thought that Wei Zhong wanted to teach Wei Jin a lesson. She had never expected Wei Zhong to secretly snatch her away under Jun Shiling¡¯s nose.

    Now, things had be very awkward.

    No matter what, Wei Jin was still the daughter-inw of the Mu family. Now that she had been taken away by Wei Zhong, Zhang Yi was worried that Mu Ting would vent his anger on her.

    Unexpectedly, Mu Tingughed out loud. ¡°You did well!!¡±

    He had already been holding back his anger after suffering a loss at Jun Shiling¡¯s handsst time. Now that Wei Jin had been taken away by Wei Zhong, he was extremely happy.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Wei Jin on good terms with Xia Wanyuan? This time, it depends on whether Xia Wanyuan is willing to save her. The Wei family in Beijing and the Wei family in the south are going to hold a good show.¡±

    Hearing Mu Ting¡¯s words, Zhang Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief. She walked forward and poured a cup of tea for Mu Ting. ¡°In that case, Hubby, are you going to reward me?¡±

    Mu Ting nodded. ¡°Reward! Of course! Well done. Haven¡¯t you always wanted to buy that jewelry? I¡¯ll buy it for you!¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Hubby.¡± Zhang Yi held Mu Ting¡¯s arm in joy, but soon, she frowned. ¡°But Mu Feng.¡±

    ¡°Why should I care?¡± Thinking of Mu Feng, Mu Ting fumed with anger. ¡°Ignore him. Pack up quickly and follow me out.¡±

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Zhang Yi looked at Mu Ting in confusion. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear about any events today?¡±

    Mu Ting¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Try IVF.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhang Yi swallowed his saliva. ¡°But our ages¡­¡±

    In the past, Zhang Yi had always wanted to pester Mu Ting to do IVF, but with Mu Feng around, Mu Ting had never agreed.

    Now that she and Mu Ting had passed the best time to do the test tube, she was afraid that her body would not be able to take it if she went again.

    Mu Ting nced at her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to go. I¡¯ll find someone else.¡±

    Zhang Yi hurriedly stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll go, I¡¯ll go. I¡¯ll clean up and we¡¯ll go together.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Mu Ting flung his sleeves and strode out.

    When his and Zhang Yi¡¯s child sessfully descended, he wouldpletely give up on Mu Feng. The Mu family could not tolerate Mu Feng anymore.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Thinking about Wei Jin, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep well the entire night.

    When the sky lit up in the morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up. Jun Shiling immediately sensed her getting up and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Sleep for a while more. I helped you apply for leave from school.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan struggled for a moment. ¡°Have you intercepted them?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°The south is where the Wei family has been for a long time. It¡¯s not so easy to snatch her away from the Wei family.¡±

    ¡°Then?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    Jun Shiling used his hand to smooth Xia Wanyuan¡¯s frown. ¡°Don¡¯t be so worried. Although we can¡¯t save her for the time being, the Wei family won¡¯t do anything to her.¡±

    There were two top families in the south.

    One was the Wei family, and the other was the Lin family.

    The two sides had long intended to marry. Wei Zhong had forcefully brought Wei Jin back this time because of the Lin family¡¯s young master, Lin Qingyuan.

    Since Wei Jin still had value that the Wei family wanted to use, Wei Jin would be safe for the time being. The Wei family would not do anything to her.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly understood this rtionship. She nodded. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Wei Jin was not in any danger for the time being, and Xia Wanyuan rxed a lot. She yawned and snuggled back into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Aren¡¯t you getting up to work?¡±

    Jun Shiling slowly rubbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to work.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped an arm around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist and snuggled in his arms. ¡°It¡¯s time. You should leave.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was nestled tightly in his arms. ¡°Do you look like you¡¯re willing to let me leave?¡±

    She hugged me so tightly. (italics)

    Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°I¡¯m not tying your feet to prevent you from leaving.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Sleep for a while. I tossed and turnedst night and didn¡¯t sleep well.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± A stone in her heart was relieved, and Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep again.

    In Beijing Hotel, Feng Wuyou walked to the hotel lobby with a sleepy expression, wanting to ask if there was a better room.

    She recognized beds and was extremely picky about everything. Last night, the bed in the hotel made her waist ache.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. I¡¯ve already prepared the best presidential suite for you.¡± The receptionist smiled sweetly and told Feng Wuyou this sad news.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Feng Wuyou yawned. ¡°This won¡¯t do. You have to upgrade the service.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your suggestion. We¡¯ll report back to the higher-ups.¡±

    Feng Wuyou rubbed her neck and looked out.

    With this nce, she saw the youngdy get out of the car after the rear-end car that day.

    Feng Wuyou was obsessed with looks. Although that little girl¡¯s facial features were not especially stunning, Feng Wuyou liked her eyes. She walked forward and wanted to greet Lu Li, but Lu Li had already run far away.

    Feng Wuyou nced at the man standing at the door. He was holding a food box in his hand. It seemed like he was her boyfriend.

    Unable to change rooms, Feng Wuyou could only yawn and continue upstairs to catch up on her sleep. When she walked into the elevator, there were a lot of people inside. Feng Wuyou stood in the corner.

    Halfway up the elevator, she suddenly frowned and looked back. She met a pair of smiling eyes.

    Feng Wuyou turned around and shook her neck slightly before raising her foot.

    She was someone who would put on her beloved high heels and run downstairs even if there was a fire. She was wearing thin high heels today.

    The pervert behind her was still touching her when Feng Wuyou stepped on him.

    The entire elevator was filled with the man¡¯s tragic cries.

    However, immediately after, Feng Wuyou stepped down a third and fourth time.

    Everyone in the elevator was stunned.

    The man behind her was already hugging his feet in pain and squatting on the ground, sweating profusely.

    ¡°What are you? How dare you take advantage of me?¡±

    The man looked up. ¡°Do you know who I am? How dare you step on me? Just you wait.¡±

    Feng Wuyou smiled disdainfully. ¡°Ugly freak, I don¡¯t care who you are. Bring it on.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou left the elevator, leaving the entire elevator silent and people looking at each other.

    It was morning in Beijing and night in America.

    In America¡¯s airport, a group of people was walking towards the tarmac.

    ¡°Yueran, you¡¯re a very good actress. I really can¡¯t bear to part with you.¡± Director Charon, who had always been difficult to get along with, had a good rtionship with Su Yueran this time.

    He liked this beautiful and smart Chinese woman with a high EQ.

    ¡°Goodbye, Director. Let¡¯s work together again in the future.¡± Su Yueran handed a box filled with stamps to Director Charon. ¡°This is for you.¡±

    The director opened it and was even more touched.

    As a director, he could tell that the location on the box of stamps that Su Yueran had given him was where he had taken the scenery from all the movies he had filmed over the years.

    ¡°Thank you. You let me know that the Chinese are so good.¡± Director Charon hugged Su Yueran. ¡°I look forward to seeing you in the future. The next Best Actress for Carso will definitely be you.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled faintly. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Director. Thank you for your blessings.¡±

    Amidst everyone¡¯s reluctance, Su Yueran flew from America to China.

    This time, she would not return to America for the time being. All her scenes had been filmed. Next, she had to wait for the post-production of the movie.

    The moment she returned to China, Su Yueran received a message.

    The manager was still reading her the next schedule when Su Yueran stopped her. ¡°Postpone the event on the first of next month.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my brother¡¯s 30th birthday banquet. I need to go home.¡±

    At the same time, in the manor, they received an invitation from the south.

    <h4>Chapter 1151: Fate on the Battlefield</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Jun Shiling was reading the invitation in his hand. Xia Wanyuan walked over, and Jun Shiling naturally raised an arm. Xia Wanyuan snuggled into his arms. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    Jun Shiling ced the invitation in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°An invitation to the 30th birthday of the Lin family¡¯s young master.¡±

    ¡°Thirty years old?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ¡°This isn¡¯t considered a major birthday milestone. Why is it held so grandly?¡±

    Furthermore, generally speaking, among the big families, juniors were not qualified to invite other families during the birthday banquet.

    Unless there were other major events that needed to be witnessed by the major families at this birthday banquet.

    ¡°You guessed right.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Lin Qingyuan will seed the Lin family on his 30th birthday and be the new head of the Lin family.¡±

    ¡°Then?¡± Xia Wanyuan acutely saw something else in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°I keep feeling that you haven¡¯t told me anything else.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling tapped his right cheek. ¡°Kiss me and I¡¯ll tell you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned over to kiss Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, please tell me.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Wei Jin is the most outstanding junior in the Wei family in the south. This time, Wei Zhong wants to give Wei Jin to Lin Qingyuan as his sessor gift.¡±

    ¡°But Wei Jin and Mu Feng are already married. Isn¡¯t Wei Zhong afraid that this matter will be blown up by the Mu family?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.?<i>They were all big families. Wei Jin was already the legally recognized daughter-inw of the Mu family. What was Wei Zhong doing with the Mu family??</i>

    ¡°Only Mu Feng knows how to cause trouble in the Mu family, but the power of the Mu family is temporarily in Mu Ting¡¯s hands. Mu Feng will only be stopped if he wants to cause trouble.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had also figured out some of the joints.

    In her previous life, there were still people who sent their daughters out for marriage and gave their wives to their superiors for the peace of the border.

    These things still existed in the modern world, but they had be more hidden.

    ¡°I want to attend.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought that since Wei Zhong would send Wei Jin to the Lin family, Wei Jin would definitely attend Lin Qingyuan¡¯s birthday banquet.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy?¡± As far as Xia Wanyuan knew, Jun Shiling was much busier this year thanst year. Sometimes, he was so busy that he worked overtime until veryte.

    ]Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I¡¯m busy. I¡¯ll just bring my work along. Anyway, I want to go with you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°How clingy.¡±

    Although she said that she despised it, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone was very light.

    Although she couldplete these things herself, she would feel more at ease if Jun Shiling apanied her.

    ¡°Hubby treats you so well. Do you have any rewards?¡± Jun Shiling put the invitation aside and carried Xia Wanyuan onto hisp. ¡°Give me some rewards.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed him. ¡°No.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and lowered his head. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Outside the living room, Uncle Wang secretly nced in. His old face was red. He waved at the back. ¡°Go down, go down. Come backter.¡±

    Uncle Wang walked into the garden with his hands behind his back. When he saw the various flowers blooming, he clicked his tongue. ¡°Spring is here.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng had recently undergone another surgery. Hey in bed for two days before waking up. The first thing he thought of when he woke up was Wei Jin.

    ¡°Someone,¡± Mu Sheng shouted. A guard quickly entered. ¡°Young Master Mu, what can I do for you?¡±

    ¡°Help me downstairs.¡±

    The guard hesitated for a moment. ¡°Young Master Mu, CEO Jun has instructed that it¡¯s not suitable for you to go downstairs now.¡±

    However, Mu Feng was very determined. ¡°Help me down. If there¡¯s any problem, I¡¯ll take responsibility.¡±

    The guard could not dissuade him and could only step forward to help Mu Feng down.

    The surgery wound on Mu Feng had yet to heal. He walked from upstairs to downstairs for fifteen minutes. When he saw the empty ward, there was no shock in Mu Feng¡¯s eyes.

    He had already sensed that something was wrong when he opened his eyes. Wei Jin knew his surgery time. Logically speaking, Wei Jin would definitelye up to visit him. However, when he opened his eyes and saw that the bed was empty, he had a bad feeling.

    ¡°Where is she?¡± Mu Feng¡¯s voice was very calm.

    ¡°Young Master Mu, Miss Wei has alreadypleted the discharge procedures and left. We don¡¯t know where she went exactly. You have to understand that we¡¯re just errand boys,¡± the guard answered Mu Feng¡¯s question with a troubled expression.

    Mu Feng¡¯s expression was cold. The silver hair that fluttered behind her head seemed to have lost its luster andnded quietly on her shoulder. He turned around and went upstairs before calling Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s response was very simple. ¡°Rest well. Wei Jin is temporarily safe.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s words had always been convincing. Mu Feng knew that Wei Jin was temporarily safe and felt relieved. However, when he thought of Wei Jin¡¯s current situation, he was filled with worry.

    Mu Feng entered a long string of code on his phone and entered an encrypted website. After verifying his identity, Mu Feng sessfully entered.

    His fingers flew as he entered a long string of information with a price attached.

    Ten minutester, this mission was epted. Only then did Mu Feng turn off his phone and close his eyes to think for a while. After a while, he opened his eyes, which were surging with light.

    At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Wang Ya walked in.

    She could not hide the smile on her face. ¡°Brother Feng, you¡¯re awake? I¡¯ve been so worried these few days. Fortunately, you¡¯re fine.¡±

    As she spoke, Wang Ya wanted to lean towards Mu Feng.

    Mu Feng was in a bad mood and he had an extremely ostentatious personality. It was just that he had restrained himself a little after meeting Wei Jin.

    The fragrance on Wang Ya was getting closer and closer. Mu Feng stood up and did not notice the wound on his body.

    He looked at Wang Ya fiercely. ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Wang Ya pursed her lips. Thinking that Wei Jin, whom Zhang Yi had mentioned that she had already disappeared, she boldly stepped forward. ¡°That woman has already left. Why do you still want her? She¡¯s not even¡­¡±

    Mu Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly became terrifying. He stared intently at Wang Ya. ¡°How do you know she left? Who told you? Zhang Yi or Mu Ting?¡±

    Wang Ya suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. She covered her mouth. ¡°No, I was talking nonsense.¡±

    However, Mu Feng grabbed Wang Ya¡¯s wrist so hard that he almost crushed it. ¡°Speak.¡±

    Wang Ya¡¯s eyes were filled with tears of pain. ¡°It hurts, it hurts. I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk. I heard it from Uncle Mu and my mother.¡±

    Mu Feng shook off Wang Ya¡¯s hand. Wang Ya was unstable and fell onto a shelf not far away. The basin instantly fell and drenched Wang Ya.

    ¡°Brother Mu Feng.¡± Wang Ya wanted to say something, but she was so frightened by Mu Feng¡¯s gaze that she could not speak.

    Mu Feng stood quietly and looked down at Wang Ya with a bone-chilling gaze. ¡°If I hear another ¡®brother¡¯ing out of your mouth, you can try and see if your mother can protect your tongue.¡±

    At this moment, Mu Feng was no longer aszy as usual. It was as if his entire body was cold, scaring Wang Ya so much that she could not speak.

    Mu Feng did not want to stay in this room anymore. He pulled open the door and strode out.

    At that moment, in a private hospital in Beijing, Zhang Yi was standing beside Mu Ting. As she listened to the doctor¡¯s introduction of the IVF, she looked troubled.

    Because Zhang Yi was already very old, the chances of failure were very high. The doctor¡¯s suggestion was, ¡°It¡¯s best to give up on IVF. Otherwise, it will cause immeasurable harm to Mother¡¯s body.¡±

    Before Zhang Yi could speak, Mu Ting had already said, ¡°Will she die? What are the chances?¡±

    The doctor looked at Zhang Yi. ¡°The probability of death is 1%, but if the growth changes after being transnted to the mother, the mortality rate will reach up to 50%.¡±

    Mu Ting looked at Zhang Yi. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t worry, the Mu family is rich. I¡¯ll give you the best medicine. You¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    Zhang Yi clenched her fists. She panicked when she heard 50%, but Mu Ting had already turned around. ¡°Just do this. Arrange the surgery as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Mu Ting had offered a high price and he was very willing. The doctor had no choice but to agree to Mu Ting¡¯s request.

    However, he nced at Zhang Yi, who was beside Mu Ting. Her face was pale, and the doctor shook his head gently.

    <i>Sigh, who said that it was easy to be a rich wife?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, under a towering tree, a small fire was burning, transmitting its heat to Xia Yu, who was lying not far away.

    It had been a day and night, but Xia Yu still did not wake up.

    Stone sat beside Xia Yu worriedly and looked at Lin Yi. ¡°Sister, will Brother Xia Yu wake up?¡±

    Lin Yi nced at Xia Yu¡¯s young face. Because of theck of medicine, Xia Yu¡¯s wound was a little inmed, apanied by a fever. Now, his entire forehead was hot, and his face was red.

    Although his insides were burning, because the temperature here was low at night, Xia Yu¡¯s hands were still cold.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if he can survive tonight.¡± Lin Yi ced a piece of oilcloth on the ground and folded it into a semicircle. ¡°Sleep for a while first. I¡¯ll watch him. We have to move elsewhere tomorrow. It¡¯s not safe here anymore.¡±

    The rebels had already upied the entire seaside city and were now advancing ind.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Sister. I¡¯ll look after Brother Xia Yu with you.¡± However, children were still children after all. After a day of torture, not long after he finished speaking, he unknowinglyy on the ground and fell asleep.

    Lin Yi pulled some leaves and weeds and covered the stone. Then, he took a towel and dipped it in the water in the oilcloth.

    There was a small river not far from here. During the day, Lin Yi and Stone had carried arge box of water back from her medicine box.

    Lin Yi fed Xia Yu some water first, then took a towel and kept wiping his forehead.

    There were no conditions here, so she could only use physical methods to lower the temperature.

    ¡°Hot¡­ Cold¡­¡± Xia Yu closed his eyes and called out unconsciously.

    Lin Yi saw that his forehead was burning, but his hands were cold. She took off her coat and covered Xia Yu. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do even if you¡¯re cold. I left my luggage in that city. This damn war.¡±

    In a daze, Xia Yu smelled a faint fragrance. Tears welled up in his eyes. ¡°Sister.¡±

    He called ¡®sister¡¯ out in an extremely weakly with obvious dependence manner. Lin Yi¡¯s heart ached when she heard it, and her actions became gentler.

    ¡°Jiang Yun¡­¡± Not long after, another woman¡¯s name popped out of Xia Yu¡¯s mouth. Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that this should be the name of this young man¡¯s sweetheart.

    Lin Yi did not understand what Xia Yu was saying at all. She helped Xia Yu cool down time and time again.

    In the middle of the night, Lin Yi finally rxed when she sensed that Xia Yu¡¯s forehead was not so hot and his hand began to feel warm. She slowed down the speed of wiping.

    Xia Yu gradually calmed down. There was only the sound of the breeze beside Lin Yi¡¯s ear. At some point, she had also fallen asleep from exhaustion.

    The temperature difference in Continent F was huge. The next day, just as the sun rose, the temperature in the air rose rapidly. The sunlight shone through the leaves and shone on Xia Yu¡¯s face.

    Xia Yu felt a little hot and his back hurt.

    He opened his tired eyes and was blinded by the dazzling sunlight above.

    Xia Yu subconsciously tilted his head.

    Then, he saw an extremely young Chinese girl lying beside him.

    This girl was wearing a simple shirt. Her facial features were beautiful, and her long eyshes fluttered like a fan on her face.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes shed with vignce and confusion. He looked around and saw that Stone was sleeping not far away, snoring softly.

    The fire by his feet had already turned into charcoal, and there was a medical kit beside it.

    The vignce in Xia Yu¡¯s heart disappeared a little. He wanted to sit up, but it affected the wound on his back and he gasped in pain.

    When Lin Yi heard the voice, she opened her eyes warily and met Xia Yu¡¯s bright almond-shaped eyes.

    She was stunned for a moment. When Xia Yu closed his eyes, she could tell that he was a very handsome man.

    However, she did not expect that when Xia Yu opened his eyes, he was very different from the Chinese soldier she had imagined. Other than determination, there was a hint of arrogance.

    Lin Yi was only stunned for a moment before reacting. She sat up and pressed Xia Yu down. ¡°Don¡¯t move. You were shot. I took the bullet out for you. The wound was simply stitched up.¡±

    Xia Yu nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. We¡¯re all Chinese who wandered outside.¡± Lin Yi touched Xia Yu¡¯s forehead. ¡°Fortunately, you don¡¯t have a fever.¡±

    Xia Yu nced at her young face. ¡°Are you a medical intern here?¡±

    Lin Yi nced at him. ¡°No, I¡¯m a war reporter. However, as a reporter in such a ce, I have to learn some medical knowledge. It¡¯s guns and bullets for no reason. Don¡¯t worry, I have a license. I took the test myself.¡±

    Surprise shed across Xia Yu¡¯s eyes. ¡°You look very young.¡±

    Lin Yi could not help butugh, her eyes shining. ¡°I was originally very young, okay? I just came out a little early. My parents brought me over five years ago. Later on, they¡­¡±

    At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in Lin Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Forget it, let me take a look at your wound again. We have to move. It¡¯s not safe here anymore.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Yu wanted to sit up, but the wound on his back hurt when he moved. He frowned.

    Lin Yi walked over and helped him up. ¡°I only bandaged you briefly. The weather here is hot and the temperature is high. I¡¯m worried that your wound will be inmed. If it¡¯s inmed and there¡¯s no medicine, it¡¯ll be very troublesome.¡±

    Xia Yu looked around. ¡°How long was I unconscious for?¡±

    ¡°One day and one night.¡± Lin Yi took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Xia Yu¡¯s forehead. ¡°The city by the sea has been upied.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go southwest.¡± Xia Yu thought for a while and quickly replied.

    ¡°Southwest?¡± Lin Yi thought for a moment. Although the southwest was close to the headquarters of the Anti-Chaos Faction, as the saying went, the most dangerous ce was the safest ce. ¡°Okay, go southwest. I¡¯ll clean your wound again.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu half-closed his eyes. The temperature began to rise, and his body began to sweat uncontrobly. The sweat mixed with blood stuck to his clothes and mixed with his wound. It was painful.

    At this moment, a cold pill was suddenly handed to him. Xia Yu opened his eyes and saw that it was a mint.

    ¡°Here, there¡¯s no other way now. Eat a mouthful of candy and take a deep breath. It will make you feel cooler.¡± Lin Yi cut open Xia Yu¡¯s clothes with a pair of scissors and spoke to him to divert his attention.

    Lin Yi¡¯s words reminded Xia Yu of when he was in university and yed with his roommates. He would put a mint candy in Su Mei¡¯s cup that could cool one¡¯s throat.

    Every time this happened, Su Mei would climb into his bed, cover Xia Yu with a pillow, and hammer him.

    In order to get a chance of survival from Su Mei, Xia Yu could only beg for mercy and end with him treating everyone to a hotpot.

    His body was originally very painful, but for some reason, when he thought of those beautiful memories, Xia Yu suddenly felt the pain in his heart ease a lot.

    The corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s your name?¡±

    Lin Yi replied as she bandaged him, ¡°Lin Yi, Yi meaning energetic.¡±

    ¡°My name is Xia Yu, the Yu from Jinyu [1. It means a precious item that one holds].¡±

    Although Lin Yi¡¯s Chinese was not bad, she had followed her parents overseas a long time ago. She did not quite understand what Xia Yu meant by holding ¡®Jinyu. ¡°Jinyu??Goldfish<sup>1</sup>The originally orderly team members were in a panic as they searched everywhere.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t found it yet?¡± The captain was anxious. ¡°Look on the deck.¡±

    ¡°Captain, we¡¯ve searched everywhere, but we didn¡¯t find any traces of Xia Yu.¡±

    ¡°Find Zhou Zhou for me!¡±

    The moment Zhou Zhou entered themand room, he was kicked down by the captain. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that everyone is here? Where¡¯s Xia Yu? He didn¡¯t board the ship. Why did you draw a tick behind his name?¡±

    Zhou Zhou struggled to get up. ¡°Captain, I¡¯m only responsible for collecting the list of subordinates. I didn¡¯t confirm if everyone is here.¡±

    The captain took the attendance list from that day and was stunned when he saw it. ¡°Why isn¡¯t there a tick on this? Then why didn¡¯t anyone notice it at that time?! He¡¯s missing now!¡±

    Zhou Zhou nced at the captain. ¡°Captain, you were the one who gave the order to set off.¡±

    The captain was furious when he heard Zhou Zhou¡¯s words, but he did not have the energy to argue with Zhou Zhou. He copsed on the chair. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    The higher-ups asked them to specially take care of Xia Yu. It was a coincidence that they had left Xia Yu there.

    Now, the ship could not return, let alone when there was a war happening over there, they could not cross at all. Xia Yu was probably doomed.

    Zhou Zhou leaned forward. ¡°Captain, it has already happened. I have a way now.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± The captain was almost in despair. He could not think of any other way to resolve the situation.

    ¡°Anyway, a war is happening over there. Why don¡¯t we turn the tables and say that Xia Yu insisted on staying to save that child? Many people saw Xia Yu bring that child onto the ship. This way, even if someone wants to pursue the matter, they can¡¯t me you.¡±

    The captain thought for a moment. ¡°But will this work? What if they find out?¡±

    Zhou Zhou smiled. ¡°We¡¯re so far from China. How are they going to investigate what happened? To put it bluntly, if Xia Yunded there, he¡¯ll probably die. The dead can¡¯t speak.¡±

    The captain nced at Zhou Zhou. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I realize that you¡¯re actually full of evil tricks?¡±

    Zhou Zhou¡¯s expression changed.

    However, the captain quickly smiled again. ¡°But what you said makes sense. I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. Go and settle the relevant people.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Not long after, Jun Shiling received a message from Continent F.

    Looking at the message ¡°Xia Yu is missing¡±, Jun Shiling subconsciously frowned.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan walked over. Jun Shiling turned off hisputer and his expression returned to normal. ¡°Why are you here at this time?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°What time is it? Why are you asking me? Aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll send another message and go to sleep immediately.¡± Jun Shiling smiled andforted Xia Wanyuan. After Xia Wanyuan left, he turned on hisputer and sent a few messages.

    ¡ª¡ª

    South,

    In an antique courtyard, an elegant man in an exquisite suit was sitting in the courtyard with a book in his hand.

    ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s news from Continent F.¡±

    The man looked up. His handsome face looked even gentler under the light, but his eyes had an unfathomable light. ¡°How is it?¡±

    ¡°They said that Second Master and his wife passed away in an ident two years ago, leaving Second Miss alone. A few days ago, Second Miss moved around in a seaside city. Later on, there was an outbreak of chaos over there, and Second Miss disappeared since then. I don¡¯t know where she went.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan put the book aside. ¡°Send someone to look for her. The second branch has very few people. If Cousin is gone, the second branch will really be cut off.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The butler bowed respectfully. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. The Old Master of the Wei family has already sent two invitations.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°He¡¯sing alone?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± At this point, the butler¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of disdain. ¡°He¡¯s bringing his daughter over.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan put the book aside. ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that Wei Zhong raised a good daughter with both talent and appearance. Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡±

    ¡°Yes, then I¡¯ll bring them in.¡±

    Not long after the butler left, he brought a few people into the courtyard.

    Lin Qingyuan sat on the stone stool and looked at the book in his hand. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and his eyes lit up.

    Not far away, Wei Zhong was leading Wei Jin here.

    Wei Jin was dressed very meticulously today. On this spring night, she was only wearing a moon-white cheongsam with orchids. Her hair was tied behind her head with a jade hairpin, and her face was as exquisite as a painting.

    Her every move was elegant, making people feel that the book in their hands was not as fragrant as her.

    ¡°Young Master Lin.¡± Now that Lin Qingyuan had not officially inherited the position of family head, Wei Zhong could only call him Young Master.

    ¡°Old Master Wei, you¡¯re too kind. Please sit.¡± Lin Qingyuan retracted his gaze from Wei Jin. ¡°Elder Wei, I¡¯m sorry for not weing you.¡±

    Although Lin Qingyuan said that, his body did not move at all. He did not even stand up.

    Before the Wei family split up, they might be able topete with the Lin family.

    Now, the Wei family in the south only had a good name. In reality, their strength could not bepared to the Lin family.

    Wei Zhong smiled and nodded. Then, he sat on the chair and looked at Wei Jin. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you greeting Young Master Lin?¡±

    Wei Jin nced at Lin Qingyuan and met his smiling eyes. She was suddenly stunned. She subconsciously felt that this person¡¯s eyes were a little familiar.

    ¡°Why should Miss Wei greet me? I should be the one greeting Miss Wei.¡± Lin Qingyuan smiled and said politely, ¡°Hello, Miss Wei.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded slightly and sat down.

    Wei Zhong secretly gave her a look. Seeing that Wei Jin did not respond, he thought that he had to teach Wei Jin a lesson when he returned.

    Wei Zhong turned around. ¡°Our daughter is shy. Young Master Lin, don¡¯t mind her. I¡¯m mainly here for an old matter from many years ago.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°I know why you¡¯re here, Elder Wei. I can give you a satisfactory answer.¡±

    When Lin Qingyuan said this, Wei Zhong widened his eyes in surprise. ¡°Really?! I think we¡¯re discussing the engagement from more than twenty years ago. Are you talking about this too?¡±

    Back then, before the Wei family split up, the Wei family and the Lin family were the two great families in Jiangnan.

    The rtionship between the two elders was good, so they agreed to marry.

    At that time, Wei Jin was not born yet and Lin Qing was only a few years old. He chose Ding Hui¡¯s stomach and pointed at it, telling Old Master Lin that he wanted to marry this little sister.

    At that time, the two eldersughed out loud. They thought that Lin Qingyuan was a child who spoke nonsense, so they followed Lin Qingyuan¡¯s wishes and married Lin Qingyuan and Wei Jin.

    Now, things had changed. The two elders had long passed away, and the strength of the Wei and Lin families had changed drastically.

    Before the Lin family revealed that Lin Qingyuan would seed the family head position, even Wei Zhong had forgotten that there was such a past. After all, these things had been buried for too long. He had only remembered it when he was sorting out Old Master¡¯s notes.

    Before Wei Zhong came, he was still very nervous. He was afraid that Lin Qingyuan would not acknowledge this debt. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyuan agreed so readily.

    ¡°Then?¡± Wei Zhong wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the Lin family investing in the Wei family, but he saw Lin Qingyuan wave at him.

    ¡°Elder Wei, can you give me a chance to talk to Miss Wei alone?¡± Lin Qingyuan smiled gently, but his words were unquestionable.

    ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Wei Zhong could not wait for Wei Jin to marry into the Lin family. He naturally agreed to Lin Qingyuan¡¯s request.

    With that, Wei Zhong stood up and looked at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Do I need to go back directly?¡±

    When Wei Zhong said this, even the Lin family¡¯s butler could not help but look at him in disdain.

    <i>Was he so impatient to let his daughter climb into the Lin family¡¯s bed? Back then, the Wei family¡¯s style was so good. Why had the Wei family fallen to such a state??</i>

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°You can go back first. I¡¯ll send Miss Wei home safely.¡±

    ¡°Alright,¡± Wei Zhong replied in satisfaction. Then, he turned to look at Wei Jin and whispered, ¡°Behave yourself. If you make Young Master Lin unhappy, I¡¯ll let your mother die with you.¡±

    With that, Wei Zhong left the courtyard and returned to the Wei family.

    ¡°Miss Wei, do you want some tea? I personally picked the tea on the mountain a few days ago. Try it.¡± Lin Qingyuan ced a teacup in front of Wei Jin and poured her a cup of tea.

    The fragrance of the tea filled the air.

    However, Wei Jin was not in the mood to drink tea. She looked at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°I¡¯m married.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan nodded very calmly. ¡°I know.¡±

    Wei Jin widened her eyes slightly. ¡°If you know, why did you still agree to Wei Zhong¡¯s request? With your status as the young master of the Lin family, you can marry whoever you want.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea and looked at Wei Jin¡¯s clear eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t marry someone like Miss Wei.¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Wei Jin did not expect Lin Qingyuan¡¯s response at all. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re really magnanimous. You can actually ept someone else¡¯s wife, a woman who belongs to another man with all her heart. Don¡¯t you feel ufortable with me being your wife?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan held the blue and white porcin in his hand and slowly shook the liquid inside. He lowered his head slightly and the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Miss Wei, you might not know, but not only did your father send me a visiting card, but he also sent me a medical report.¡±

    When Lin Qingyuan said this, Wei Jin¡¯s face turned pale, filled with humiliation.

    ¡°Miss Wei¡¯s body can belong to mepletely. As for her heart, it will belong to me in the future. Why wouldn¡¯t I want a wife who belongs to me wholeheartedly?¡±

    For some reason, Xia Yu wanted to joke. ¡°Mm, goldfish. You can call me Xiaoyu.¡±

    Lin Yi shook her head. ¡°You¡¯re a soldier, right?¡±

    Xia Yu nodded. ¡°Mm, I followed the Chinese ship here, but I was left behind.¡±

    Lin Yi checked the condition of the wound. ¡°Soldiers are very respectable. I can¡¯t call you Xiaoyu. I¡¯ll call you Xia Yu.¡±

    In the few years that Lin Yi had followed her parents abroad, she had seen too many contributions of the Jun people. She respected these people from the bottom of her heart.

    Xia Yu smiled. ¡°Up to you.¡±

    ¡°Alright, can you walk yourself?¡± After Lin Yi bandaged Xia Yu, she stood up to collect his things.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Xia Yu slowly stood up. Although his back hurt, his wound had been treated and was much better.

    Xia Yu gently kicked a rock onto Stone¡¯s leg. Stone¡¯s beautiful dream of being immersed in the chicken leg was shattered. He opened his eyes and saw the smiling Xia Yu. His eyes lit up.

    ¡°Brother Xia Yu, you¡¯re awake!¡±

    ¡°Mm, help your Sister Lin pack up and get ready to leave.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone jumped up and ran over to help Lin Yi. The medical box was heavier, so Lin Yi carried it herself. She handed the camera to Stone and hung it around his neck.

    In the forest, the three of them slowly walked southwest. From time to time, gunshots sounded in the coastal city not far away.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the vast sea, arge ship fluttered.

    <h4>Chapter 1153: Public Disy of Love</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Wei Jin looked straight at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Since he can snatch his biological daughter back from someone else¡¯s house, why can¡¯t he fake the medical report? If I tell you that I¡¯m already pregnant with the Mu family¡¯s flesh and blood, will you still insist on marrying me? Aren¡¯t you afraid of beingughed at by everyone?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan looked at Wei Jin¡¯s clear eyes. ¡°Miss Wei, how many times do you think we¡¯ve met?¡±

    Wei Jin was stunned by his question. ¡°It¡¯s our first time.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan being able to be the new head of the Lin family was actually beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. After all, Lin Qingyuan rarely appeared in the sights of the big ns.

    He had been weak since he was young and had been sent overseas a long time ago. The Lin family had almost forgotten that there was such a wandering person.

    However, no one expected that when he was close to his thirties, he would actually return to the country in a high-profile manner and sessfully win the unanimous agreement of the upper echelons of the Lin family in just a few months to be the sessor of the Lin family.

    Not to mention Wei Jin, even Wei Zhong was seeing Lin Qingyuan for the first time.

    Lin Qingyuan held his teacup and shook his head slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not the first time.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Wei Jin looked at Lin Qingyuan in confusion.

    Lin Qingyuan smiled at Wei Jin, looking elegant and handsome. ¡°No matter what, Miss Wei Jin, you can be prepared to marry into the Lin family.¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger, but she did not say anything in the end. Now that she was at the mercy of others, it was useless.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯ste. Miss Wei, do you want to return to the Wei family? Or do you want to stay with me?¡± Lin Qingyuan smiled gently and spoke in an extremely gentlemanly tone.

    Wei Jin avoided his gaze. ¡°Of course I¡¯m going back to the Wei family.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Lin Qingyuan put his book aside and stood up to send Wei Jin home.

    At the entrance of the Lin family, Wei Zhong waited anxiously. He was afraid that Wei Jin woulde out and offend Lin Qingyuan again.

    Seeing Wei Jine out of the door, Wei Zhong walked up in disappointment. ¡°Why are you going back? Can¡¯t you seize the opportunity to stay in the Lin family? What¡¯s the point of raising you?¡±

    Just as Wei Zhong finished speaking, he saw Lin Qingyuan walking out from behind Wei Jin. Wei Zhong felt embarrassed and greeted Lin Qingyuan unnaturally. ¡°Young Master Lin, why did you personally send my daughter out?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Old Wei, leave first. I¡¯ll send Miss Wei home.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll leave immediately.¡± Wei Zhong thought that he hade for nothing, but from the looks of it, Lin Qingyuan was probably very interested in Wei Jin.

    After all, everyone knew that the young master of the Lin family lived in seclusion all year round, but now, he was willing to specially send Wei Jin home.

    He felt that this marriage could seed!

    Wei Zhong happily got into his car. Lin Qingyuan brought Wei Jin to another car.

    Along the way, Lin Qingyuan chatted with Wei Jin. Even though Wei Jin ignored him, Lin Qingyuan was not angry and spoke to Wei Jin patiently.

    When they were about to reach the Wei family¡¯s door, Wei Jin looked at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Mr. Lin, I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re so interested in this marriage with hundreds of disadvantages but no benefits, but I want to tell you that it¡¯s impossible for me to marry you.¡±

    Wei Jin was usually gentle. Now that she was serious, she had a sharp edge.

    Lin Qingyuan smiled, his beautiful eyes shining. ¡°Miss Wei, you¡¯re wrong.¡±

    ¡°How am I wrong?¡± Wei Jin¡¯s almond-shaped eyes were serious, and one could vaguely see the serious fire in them.

    ¡°This marriage is not without benefits.¡± The car had already stopped at the Wei family¡¯s door, but Lin Qingyuan was not in a hurry to open the door for Wei Jin. He looked straight at Wei Jin. ¡°Miss Wei, to me, that benefit can ovee all benefits.¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°I don¡¯t think my charm is that great. Mr. Lin, you tter me.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°Your thoughts and mine are two different things.¡±

    As he spoke, Lin Qingyuan pushed open the car door and blocked his head with one hand on the roof of the car to defend himself. ¡°Miss Wei, please get out of the car. I¡¯ll wait for you at the door at nine tomorrow morning. A new restaurant in the city is not bad. I¡¯ll bring you to try it tomorrow.¡±

    Wei Jin could not understand how true Lin Qingyuan¡¯s words were.

    The most difficult person to understand was someone like Lin Qingyuan. He treated people kindly and had a smile on his face. His words were extremely sincere, but in fact, all the lies were said as if they were the truth, making it impossible to distinguish.

    Wei Jin got out of the car. The night wind was a little cold. Lin Qingyuan took off his coat and draped it over Wei Jin¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Goodnight, Miss Wei. See you tomorrow.¡±

    Wei Jin stood rooted to the ground and frowned as she watched Lin Qingyuan¡¯s car leave.

    She turned around and saw Wei Zhong looking over.

    Looking at the suit on Wei Jin, Wei Zhong could not hide the smile on his face. ¡°Aiyo, my good daughter, you¡¯re indeed Daddy¡¯s proudest daughter.¡±

    Wei Jin ignored him and walked straight to her courtyard.

    On the way, she met Wei Bing from the third branch.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this our Madam Mu? Where did Madam Mu go in the middle of the night? She¡¯s even wearing a man¡¯s clothes. Is Young Master Mu here?¡±

    Wei Bing said mocking words, but her jealous gaze was already staring through the suit.

    The big families in China were divided into the north and south.

    To the other families in the south, the Lin family was now the leader of the families.

    Being able to marry Lin Qingyuan was equivalent to bing the most important mistress of the family in the south. This was a position that many people dreamed of.

    Wei Bing was naturally no exception. In order to attract Lin Qingyuan¡¯s attention, she had invited countless teachers to teach at home to improve her musical, sports, and etiquette talents.

    Who would have thought that after training so hard for so long, Wei Jin, who had already married, would appear out of nowhere and be her biggest stumbling block in her pursuit of Lin Qingyuan?

    <i>A person who ridiculously got married with someone else could also contest? What a joke. Wei Jin was just a broken shoe. What right did she have to be Lin Qingyuan¡¯s wife?</i>

    Wei Jin nced at Wei Bing¡¯s jealous expression and knew that she had always wanted to marry Lin Qingyuan. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Seeing Wei Jin¡¯s stubborn expression, Wei Bing was even angrier. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can gain Young Master Lin Qingyuan¡¯s favor because of how amazing you are. If not for that engagement back then, do you think Young Master Lin would care about you?¡±

    Wei Jin continued to walk to her room. ¡°Then go and tell him. Why are you telling me this?¡±

    Wei Bing reached out to pull Wei Jin, but she only pulled Lin Qingyuan¡¯s suit.

    Wei Jin did not even turn around. ¡°It¡¯s for you.¡±

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Wei Bing wanted to throw the suit on the ground, but on second thought, this was Lin Qingyuan¡¯s clothes. She hugged the clothes like it was a treasure, and jealousy shed across her eyes.

    <i>What was there to be smug about? A woman who had married before could forget about surpassing her in her life. I would never let Wei Jin be the mistress of the Lin family.?</i>

    Beijing,

    The most popr topic these few days was Su Yueran¡¯s return.

    Su Yueran was already an A-list celebrity in the country, but after Director Charon¡¯s sci-fi movie, Su Yueran¡¯s status was clearly higher.

    From the moment she returned to China, all sorts of world brands and high-end endorsements were already waiting at her door.

    Everyone knew Director Charon¡¯s appeal to the movie. In addition, Su Yueran had be the female lead of another international director.

    No matter how one looked at it, Su Yueran would be an international superstar in the future.

    People had always liked topare Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan. This time, Su Yueran had returned to China in a high-profile manner, so naturally, many peoplepared her to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°To be honest, Su Yueran is still more stable. She¡¯s walking step by step and is about to be an international top celebrity. Inparison, Xia Wanyuan is just a littlecking. She could not bepared to her.¡±

    Be it the number of high-end luxury endorsements or the style of various works, Xia Wanyuan is much inferior to Su Yueran. No, speaking of which, Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t seem to have any endorsements, right? Other than the initial elegant pose and potato chips, there aren¡¯t any.¡±

    [ Xia Wanyuan is already so rich. She¡¯s just ying around in the entertainment industry. Do you take it seriously? So what if she¡¯s not an ambassador? She doesn¡¯t rely on this to earn a living. ]

    [ The person in front, I don¡¯t agree with what you said. It¡¯s true that Xia Wanyuan is rich, but she has to look like a celebrity in this entertainment industry. How do you know that she doesn¡¯t want to endorse? Maybe the brand doesn¡¯t like her? ]

    [ It¡¯s not that the brand doesn¡¯t like it¡­ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s artistic temperament and appearance make her a proper fashion rack. ]

    Seeing that Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were about topare and hurt each other again, Su Yueran stood up to respond.

    @ Su Yueran: ¡°I still have to attend the banquet with Wanyuan in two days. There¡¯s nothing topare between us. Xia Wanyuan is a very outstanding neer.¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s response was very magnanimous and quickly stopped the fans¡¯ argument. However, Xia Wanyuan did not react for a long time.

    Theizens discussed spiritedly and tagged Xia Wanyuan on Weibo to remind her to respond to Su Yueran, but Xia Wanyuan did not go online for a few days.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the living room and studying modern concerts.

    ¡°Have you heard of concerts?¡± Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling grabbed her foot and pulled her towards him.

    Xia Wanyuan held her phone and struggled. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me. I¡¯m busy.¡±

    Jun Shiling picked her up and looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. ¡°Do I look like someone who has seen a concert?¡±

    ¡°Who knows?¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°Maybe CEO Jun has some singer he can support. He can secretly watch the concert in private.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling pinched her waist. Xia Wanyuan immediately smiled and shrank.

    ¡°You only know how to talk nonsense all day.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan up. ¡°Are you holding a concert?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    In fact, ever since Xia Wanyuan released an albumst year, fans had this voice. Arge number of people went to Chen Yun¡¯s Weibo to leavements, hoping to arrange a concert for Xia Wanyuan.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had always been very busy. With the fans urging her, the team grewrger andrger. There were even arge number of passers-by andizens who held a strong hope of letting Xia Wanyuan hold a concert.

    By now, Chen Yun¡¯s Weibo was almost upied by theizens who hade to urge the concert. Chen Yun had no choice but to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan agreed immediately. After all, she had never held a concert before and was still very interested in this modern society¡¯s concert. She just did not know what to do.

    Jun Shiling took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. ¡°Just be in charge of writing songs. Leave the rest to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan supported her chin with both hands, her eyes sparkling. ¡°Wow, CEO Jun is so good. Who does such a good CEO Jun belong to?¡±

    A smile appeared on Jun Shiling¡¯s face. He pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand away, wrapped it around his waist, and hugged her. ¡°You.¡±

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts, Xia Wanyuan struggled to get down, but Jun Shiling stopped her. ¡°Stop fooling around. I¡¯m not doing anything. I¡¯m just taking a photo.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Xia Wanyuan was stunned. ¡°What photo?¡±

    Jun Shiling took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone and took a photo of the two of them.

    Then, he tapped on the screen and posted a Weibo post.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward curiously. ¡°What did you post?¡±

    Jun Shiling turned off his phone and leaned forward to kiss Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Nothing.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan could vaguely guess, so she did not ask further.

    At this moment, on Weibo, theizens were in an uproar because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s new post because no one could understand it.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°How clingy.¡±

    There was a photo attached. In the photo, there were only two ovepping shoulders. A woman in a knitted shirt was leaning on the shoulder of the man in the suit. Their posture was very intimate.

    However, other than that, there was nothing else. They could not even see his face.

    [?? What do you mean? Why don¡¯t I understand? Honey, what did you send?]

    Recently, because the video of Xia Wanyuan helping the granny make a sugar figurine had be popr,izens had dug out all the skills Xia Wanyuan had learned when she participated in variety shows.

    She couuld fish with their bare hands, make sugar figurines, tie up toys when she took care of Xiao Bao, design all sorts of clothes, and teach children¡­

    Every single one of them allowed Xia Wanyuan to be sessfully elected as the ¡°Most Wanted Wife¡± of the year.

    Xia Wanyuan had the most male fans in the entertainment industry. The video of Xia Wanyuan helping the granny make sugar figurines had once gone viral on a certain male-dominated forum.

    Countless male fans sighed.?<i>How good would it be to have such a beautiful and kind woman as my wife?</i>

    The trend of calling Xia Wanyuan wife became popr.

    Xia Wanyuan did not pay much attention to Weibo. Now, under her Weibo, arge number of male fans chased after her every day and called her wife.

    Some audience silently changed their perspective.

    [Actually, if we assume that this post was posted by CEO Jun, then everything can be exined. He came to dere his sovereignty.]

    Looking at theizens¡¯ments, the male fans tried to look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo post from Jun Shiling¡¯s perspective.

    Then, everything could be exined.

    This Weibo post was clearly taken by Jun Shiling with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. Then, that ¡°too clingy¡± was Jun Shiling saying that Xia Wanyuan was too clingy.

    [F*ck!!! Jun Shiling, stand up. I want to fight you to the death. The hatred of snatching my wife is irreconcble. It¡¯s fine if you snatch her, but you even snatched my wife¡¯s phone to show off your love and provoke us. Don¡¯t you have any humanity!]

    [ My skin is thicker than Jun Shiling¡¯s. So what? I will daydream more than Jun Shiling. So what? I will fantasize more than Jun Shiling. Is there a problem?? I don¡¯t care. Xia Wanyuan is my wife. Jun Shiling, if you have the ability, seal my ount. ]

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Jun Shiling actually replied to thements this time.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°I¡¯ll pick a hundred people, each with a thousand dors. Other than @ Xia Wanyuan being my wife, Xia Wanyuan is my wife.¡±

    When Jun Shiling replied, the term ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s wife¡± immediately became a trending topic.

    Everyone ran to the male fan¡¯s Weibo to express their sympathy for him and gloated over Jun Shiling¡¯s award.

    [Boohoo, I ate another mouthful of dog food. CEO Jun is so cute when he¡¯s petty.]

    [Petty Jun Shiling, I¡¯m not even allowed to call her wife. Hmph, then Xia Wanyuan is my baby.]

    Looking at thements online, Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°Why are you so childish?¡±

    ¡°Can I not be childish?¡± Jun Shiling nced at her.

    Who asked him to have such a unique treasure in the world? Everyone coveted Xia Wanyuan, so he naturally had to watch her closely.

    ¡°Alright, are you busy tonight?¡± Xia Wanyuan put her book aside and stood up.

    ¡°I¡¯m not busy. I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled with curved eyes.

    Tonight was another weekly science and education program on the official television station. The director had been reminding Xia Wanyuan to arrive on time since morning.

    The effect of the previous science and education program was something that the television station and officials had never expected.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had told them about the intangible cultural heritage.

    In this week, just increased cultural heritage websites had increased by hundreds of millions of views, more than the past five yearsbined.

    Many children were attracted by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words and had the idea of learning these traditional cultures from the bottom of their hearts.

    Even though they were still children, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were like a seed nted in their hearts. They were just waiting for the spring breeze to rise one day, and the seed would be a towering tree that would grow with the wind.

    Before the second episode of the popr science program began, the number of viewers online and offline had already exceeded ten million.

    ¡°Oh my god, this national influence is invincible.¡± The director, who was used to seeing all kinds of world events, could not help but sigh.

    He had done so many programs. The only program that could surpass Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity was probably the Spring Festival G.

    On the online video website, the fans¡¯ments were almost filling the entire live-stream.

    [Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. I¡¯m here. I¡¯m looking forward to what Xia Wanyuan will say today. Will she continue to talk about the intangible cultural heritage today? The shadow yst time was so interesting. I want to hear it again today!!]

    As the minutes and seconds approached, the show finally began when the hour hand pointed to eight.

    The cameraman was already very good. At the beginning of the show, he did not even give the host a shot. He first gave Jun Shiling a close-up, causing the audience to exim.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s blue tie, the audience could guess that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress was definitely blue today.

    As expected, a minuteter, Xia Wanyuan walked onto the stage in a light blue embroidered dress.

    Today, Xia Wanyuan had let her hair down behind her shoulders and was wearing a small crown on her head. She looked dignified and elegant.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. We meet again.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at the camera. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about our country¡¯s painting history today.¡±

    Thements were naturally filled with cheers.

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, pieces of rice paper were brought onto the stage, and nearly a hundred colors were carried up.

    Xia Wanyuan was a Chinese painting master herself. She held a pen.

    As she exined the PowerPoint lesson materials disyed on the big screen, she recounted the stories behind various famous paintings. As she held a pen and paper, a painting appeared in front of everyone.

    ¡°In the Qing Dynasty, Qie Shouping said, ¡°The Song people said that they could reach the point where the ancient people did not put their hearts into it, and they also said that they could draw the will. The two words are the smallest, but they can most mislead people. They don¡¯t know how to put their hearts into it, nor do they know what the ancient people didn¡¯t put their hearts into. They don¡¯t know what the intention is.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    After Xia Wanyuan finished exining the painting, a painting that was drawn ording to Su Xuan¡¯s Deadwood Painting appeared.

    At this moment, a very strange scene appeared everywhere in China.

    Some passers-by who did not understand the situation walked into the Inte cafe and saw not a room full of King of Glory, but a lecture hall.

    ¡°Boss? What¡¯s going on? Can¡¯t your Inte cafe y games?¡± The passerby was a little stunned.?<i>Didn¡¯t the advertisement outside say that the Inte speed was extremely fast and one could y games??</i>

    ¡°Stop arguing. This painting is really beautiful. Aiyo, you really know how to draw.¡± The boss waved his hand.

    The passerby nced at the boss¡¯sputer.

    <i>Aiyo! Great beauty!!?</i>

    At this moment, many mobile games, especially King of Glory,

    The staff of the operations department were all confused.

    ¡°That¡¯s not right. Isn¡¯t it Saturday today?? Shouldn¡¯t Saturday be a holiday for primary school students and when the working party gets off work? Why are the number of yers so low today?¡±

    <i>It was ridiculously low. It was not even a tenth of the past. That was strange.</i>

    They had no idea that the students who were on leave had been caught by their parents in the name of learning to watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture on television. As for the working party, just looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face after work was enough to rx them, let alone the fact that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was so pleasing to the eye.

    At the end of the show, Xia Wanyuan used the second viewership record to defeat her first viewership record.

    Xia Wanyuan had just disappeared from television when the outside world began to learn painting.

    For a time, the supply of painting tools on the market began to exceed the supply. Xia Wanyuan brought along these manufacturers who sold stationery and increased their sales.

    At the same time, the paintings that Xia Wanyuan had drawn on the show were also ced in the Weibo shop. Just as they were ced, they were snatched up.

    In an instant, it was another few million yuan.

    [What do you mean by a money-sucking maniac¡­ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to promoting goods is really invincible. Also, with this speed of selling goods, is there anyone who can earn money easier than her?]

    [It¡¯s so easy to earn money, but I¡¯ve never seen her donate money to anyone.]

    [She doesn¡¯t steal or rob, and there¡¯s a problem with her not donating money? You¡¯re quite good at moral kidnapping.]

    Seeing that more and more people supported Xia Wanyuan,ments began to appear on the Inte that criticized Xia Wanyuan for earning money crazily but not caring about the poor people.

    ¡°Young Master, this Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation is really good.¡± The assistant handed the detected data to Jiang Kui. ¡°It¡¯s really strange. Not only can she increase the sales of her industry, but even the shares of the Jun Corporation have soared.¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s expression was very ugly.

    As an entrepreneur, he naturally knew how effective this soft influence was.

    The better Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation was, the more people would think of her when they saw the Jun Corporation¡¯s products. They would subconsciously feel that the Jun Corporation¡¯s products were more amiable and good. This psychological hint was iparable to any other marketing.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Jiang Kui pped the table. ¡°Why is Jun Shiling so lucky!¡±

    <i>If only I had discovered Xia Wanyuan first.</i>

    Just as he was thinking this, the door suddenly opened. Xiao Yu stuck his head out. ¡°Daddy, can you y with me for a while?¡±

    ¡°y by yourself. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡± Jiang Kui waved his hand impatiently.

    During this period of time, Zou Man had been extremely gentle to Jiang Kui, and her rtionship with Jiang Kui had returned to seventy to eighty percent of before.

    Other than working hours, Zou Man and Jiang Kui were always together, so Jiang Kui naturally distanced himself from his son, Xiao Yu.

    It was already very annoying because of the rising market value of the Jun Corporation. Now that Xiao Yu wanted him to y with him, Jiang Kui was even more impatient.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xiao Yu shrank back in disappointment and carefully closed the door.

    He lowered his head and returned to the room, depressed.

    Liu Tanyu nced at Xiao Yu and walked over to pat his head. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby?¡±

    ¡°Mommy, does Daddy not like me very much?¡± Xiao Yu felt very wronged. ¡°Daddy hasn¡¯t yed with me recently. He doesn¡¯t love me at all. I heard from the servants that he has been apanying that woman recently.¡±

    Liu Tanyu paused.

    She naturally knew that Jiang Kui had stopped looking for her recently.

    Initially, some time ago, using the opportunity to discuss Xiao Yu¡¯s upbringing, she could clearly feel that the way Jiang Kui looked at her was getting hotter and hotter. However, over the past few days, Jiang Kui¡¯s gaze had already turned cold.

    He was stuck to Zou Man, so how could he care about the mother and son?

    Liu Tanyu stroked Xiao Yu¡¯s head. ¡°Do you like Daddy?¡±

    Xiao Yu widened his eyes. ¡°Mm, I want our family to live happily together, okay? I don¡¯t want to see that Zou Man. She¡¯s not good at all.¡±

    Liu Tanyu smiled. ¡°Okay, our family will live together well.¡±

    Xiao Yu was happy. He pulled Liu Tanyu¡¯s hand and went to the living room to y Ultraman. Beside him, Liu Tanyu¡¯s expression gradually became firm.

    In the corridor on the third floor, Zou Man had a cigarette in her hand. Smoke curled up. Zou Man gently exhaled and blew away the smoke in front of her.

    She lowered her head and looked at the mother and son who were ying happily in the living room. There was no emotion in her eyes.

    In the living room, Xiao Yu was ying happily and giggling. Liu Tanyu smiled and cooperated with him. When she was helping Xiao Yu pick up the toys, Liu Tanyu unintentionally looked up and saw Zou Man looking downstairs.

    Liu Tanyu was stunned at first, then smiled at Zou Man. Her smile was shallow and very moving. Zou Man sneered, stubbed out her cigarette, and turned to return to her room.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television program created a miracle in viewership. Not only did this phenomenon cause widespread media coverage in the country, but it also caused all sorts of discussions in the foreign media.

    There were many people in China, and the viewership miracle they created was something that no one in other countries could imagine.

    Some foreigners jumped out to question.?<i>China¡¯s viewership data must be fake. Why would ten million people watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s program online?</i>

    Enthusiasticizens in the country specially threw all sorts of data monitoring forms on the foreign website to argue with foreignizens. They even spontaneously dubbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video in foreignnguage.

    With this argument, the foreignizens¡¯ focus was diverted.

    Seeing the various things Xia Wanyuan had said on the show, how could the foreignizens still care about doubting the viewership data? They only knew that whatever Xia Wanyuan said was-

    <i>They all looked so interesting!! It was something we had never seen before!!</i>

    The cultures of the East and West were very different. Even the Chinese themselves had not noticed the traditional technology and strange snacks, let alone foreigners.

    The intangible cultural heritage introduced by Xia Wanyuan, the exquisite brocade cloth, the delicious roast duck, the beautiful sugar man, and the exquisite gold jewelry, all of them amazed the foreigners.

    <i>How could such a small egg have aplete figure carved on it! How could a small candy have a beautiful shape! How could those roast ducks have crispy skin but soft and juicy inside??</i>

    Instantly, curiosity about Chinese food and Chinese craftsmanship spread on the Inte.

    At this moment, a controversy arose from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation.

    When Xia Wanyuan was talking about Chinese food, she mentioned, ¡°Historically, when Chinese people ate very greasy things, they often paired it with some pickles. Pickles can relieve fatigue.¡±

    Initially, in the eyes of many Chinese, there was no problem.

    In history, the winter in the north was frozen all year round. In order to eat vegetables, some ces would use pickled methods to marinate cabbage, radishes, and other ingredients that could be preserved for a long time.

    These were all ordinary food in the eyes of the Chinese, but they identally hit the sensitive point of the Han people.

    Many Country Hanizens leftments and insults under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount after watching the video.

    [Are the Chinese shameless?? Our Han Country invented the pickles, okay? How did it be your Chinese food?]

    [ History? Shameless. In history, the pickles were stolen from our Han Country by the Chinese. Have the Chinese done too many sneaky things? Now, they¡¯re used to saying that others¡¯ things are theirs. ]

    [ F*ck, goddess?! This is a goddess! Pui! Pickled vegetables is our Han Country¡¯s simida [1. ¡®simida¡¯ is Korean romanization, usually used at the end of Korean sentences.]. Xia Wanyuan,e out and apologize. It¡¯s too disgusting. Apologize to Korea¡¯s kimchi immediately. ]

    Author¡¯s note: (The pickle incident was based on the real incident of Li Ziqi making pickles a few days ago that caused the insults of Koreanizens. The real Koreanizens¡¯ments were several times more disgusting than this.)

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Theizens of Country Han were not done with their insults regarding Xia Wanyuan.

    Due to the fact that there were very few Chineseizens on the external website and the Han Countryizens used the external website, they joined forces and reported all the videos about Xia Wanyuan.

    The reason they used was ¡°fraud¡±.

    When the news spread to China, the Chineseizens were almost angered to death.

    It was not the first time the people of Han had done such a thing. Originally, Han was just a small barbarian country in history. After learning China¡¯s words and technology, it gradually developed.

    In the history of China, Han Country was just a small country that paid tribute to China.

    However, in the variousments of the Han people, they felt that many things in China were giarized.

    Even the ¡°Chinese knot¡± was included in the Han people¡¯s cultural heritage and became their historical heritage.

    Some Chineseizens tried to exin to them that the various twisting skills rted to the Chinese knot, but they were harshly scolded by the Country Hanizens and their ounts were all reported and blocked.

    [F*ck, I¡¯m about to die of anger. How shameless are they!! How can they have the cheek to say such things! They even reported the video to thepany. Crazy!]

    [ We can¡¯t make the pickled vegetables without having a kimchi fridge? Does that mean the pickles originated in the Han Country?!! The fridge is only avable in the modern world, okay? We already had pickles a long time ago. It has more than a thousand years of history. Where was the fridge at that time? ]

    [I¡¯m going to explode from anger because of this group of idiots. They treat our China¡¯s unpresentable things as national treasures. They still have the cheek to show off here. You ignorant thing.]

    However, although theizens were angry, they had no choice.

    After all, the externalwork and China¡¯s internal social media were not connected.

    The voices of the Chinese were rarely heard by outsiders. Even if theizens painstakingly climbed over the wall and did all sorts of videos and texts, it was useless.

    The video was either reported or attacked by arge number of foreignizens.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video was sessfully reported, in order to celebrate the victory of protecting Kimchi, theizens of Country Han even drew all sorts of insultingics to mock the Chinese for being thieves.

    In theic, the Han people were pitiful people who had their treasures stolen. After a righteous struggle, the Han people finally protected their beloved pickles. Xia Wanyuan, the thief who represented China, was pushed into the gutter.

    Originally, Xia Wanyuan did not know anything about this. After all, Xia Wanyuan was an old antique who had not even figured out the domestic website, let alone climb over the wall and go online.

    However, Xia Wanyuan still found out in the end.

    There were also many people from Han Country who would exchange and learn in China. Qing University had arge number of foreign students from Han Country.

    On this day, Xia Wanyuan attended ss as usual. Ten minutes before the bell rang, it was time for her daily questions.

    ¡°Alright, is there anything you don¡¯t understand or want to ask today?¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her book and prepared to answer the students¡¯ questions.

    A fashionable girl raised her hand.

    ¡°Student, you can ask.¡±

    The female student stood up, but she was not speaking Chinese.

    The female student said a bunch of words. The students in the ssroom were stunned. Only some students who had studied Korean looked worse the more they listened.

    Xia Wanyuan had gone to Han Country for an exchange and learned thenguage there. At this moment, she understood the female student.

    What this student asked was,

    ¡°Teacher Xia, why did you say that the pickled vegetables in Han Country are from China? Didn¡¯t you think that this would hurt the rtionship between the two countries?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was familiar with the Four Books and Five ssics. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, thousands of years ago, there were already records of marinating plums with salt in the Book of Poetry.

    Xia Wanyuan disagreed with what this female student said.

    ¡°Pickled vegetables is just a kind of food. It was recorded in China a long time ago.¡± Xia Wanyuan tried to convince this student with the records of ancient documents.

    Unexpectedly, this student was instantly excited. ¡°As a teacher, you¡¯re not strict at all. Is this the attitude of a Chinese schr?¡±

    The Chinese students in the ssroom stood up immediately.

    Initially, everyone had been holding in their anger because of the pickled vegetables incident. Now that this person had taken the initiative to mention it and even wanted to use this matter to criticize Xia Wanyuan, everyone was even more unhappy.

    ¡°Everyone, sit properly.¡± Xia Wanyuan had spoken, so the students could only return to their seats.

    The female student from Country Han red at Xia Wanyuan angrily, clearly unable to ept her exnation. ¡°Kimchi belongs to Country Han. Back then, China learned the technology from Country Han. Also, the Chinese knot you pasted on the door during the New Year belongs to our country.¡±

    After the female student finished speaking, the bell rang. She did not care what Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response was and carried her school bag and left the ssroom.

    Anyway, she was an international student and had a special identity. The people in the school did not dare to do anything to her. If they dared to do anything to her, she would cry on the Inte that the Chinese had used violence on her.

    At that time, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

    After the female student from Country Han left the ssroom,

    Even the well-cultivated students of Qing University could not help but be angry.

    ¡°This is too much. Theirments on the Inte are already enraging enough. Now, they¡¯re actually pointing at Professor Xia¡¯s nose and scolding her. I¡¯m so angry.¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re too arrogant. I really don¡¯t know if they¡¯re really ignorant or pure bad. China has a five-cal history and eight major cuisines. Do we need to learn their pickles? What a joke.¡±

    After the students finished speaking, they went tofort Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Professor Xia, don¡¯t take it to heart. They¡¯re a small country with few people and don¡¯t know anything. We¡¯ll support you.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan ask.

    ¡°What website?¡±

    The students exined to Xia Wanyuan what had happened on the Inte in the past two days.

    Xia Wanyuan ended the ss. Coincidentally, Jun Shiling was busy today and could note over. Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and brought the food to the Jun Corporation.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jun Shiling put down the document in his hand and took the thing from Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I was busy today and asked you to eat by yourself?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Do your thing. Can¡¯t I just eat mine?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled at her. You miss me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples appeared. ¡°I miss you¡­ do me a favor.¡±

    Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan take off her coat and scarf. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°I want to go to the externalwork. Help me do it.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan had an ount there, Jun Shiling applied it for her.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling took out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. After some operations, the page was connected to the international signal.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through her ount. There were especially manyments under thetest ount.

    She clicked on it and saw that it was indeed filled with all sorts of insults.

    Xia Wanyuan did not particrly care about the insults. What bothered her was the words ¡°thief China¡±, ¡°Country Han pickle¡±, and ¡°Country Han knot¡±.

    As the ruling queen in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had personally epted the worship of the monarch of Country Han in history.

    At that time, she was the queen sitting in the high hall. The monarch of Han was a tribute to the vassal country.

    Now that she had been pointed at by the descendants of the Han people and called a thief, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood was a littleplicated.

    She flipped through the reports about China on the Inte.

    Only then did she realize that China¡¯s voice outside was so soft, especially China¡¯s culture. Its influence abroad was minimal. Even pickled vegetables could be ssified as Han Country¡¯s.

    Just as the Koreanizens were happy to report the video of Xia Wanyuan from China¡¯s overseas television station,

    Caught off guard, Wanyuan_Xia¡¯s ount suddenly updated.

    Everyone clicked on it. It was the one that had been reported by theizens of Country Han. This time, there were even subtitles.

    Just as the Koreanizens were about to report her again,

    Ten minutester, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount posted another video.

    In this video, Xia Wanyuan was exining in full English. The goal was to let the internationalmunity understand this exnation.

    This was a short popr science video,

    ¡°Pickled vegetables originated in China. More than 3,100 years ago, during the Shang dynasty¡¯s Wuding period, our country¡¯s working people could use salt to season the plums and cook them. From this, it can be seen that our country¡¯s salted vegetables should havee earlier than the Book of Poetry and should have originated 3,100 years ago during the Shang and Zhou dynasties¡­¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan exined, she also exined the development of Country Han more than 3,100 years ago.

    In an era where there were already records of pickled vegetables in China, Han Country was still a deste ce that had not even been established.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video was extremely targeted. As long as one was not a fool, they could tell that it was targeted at the Han people reporting rted videos.

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current international influence and the fact that this matter was very gossipy, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science video quickly spread.

    In just an hour, she had sessfully obtained a million views.

    What was even more interesting was that when Xia Wanyuan introduced the history of pickles, she also introduced the eight major cuisines in China.

    Those delicious photos made the foreignizens drool.

    Seeing that the momentum was not right, the Koreanizens wanted to report Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video like before.

    In the office, Xia Wanyuan was leaning on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already understood. He turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the video this time can¡¯t be deleted.¡±

    In the end, foreign social media still prioritized capital. After all, foreign countries were founded on capital. As long as one had money, they could make ghosts work.

    Coincidentally, he was rich.

    China¡¯s international image had never been good. In the past, China had spent a lot of money to recover its international reputation and build a better image.

    However, money was spent, and the results were minimal. Later on, China gradually began to develop overseas culture.

    This time, Jun Shiling acutely sensed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video might be an opportunity.

    Hence, arge sum of money was transferred to thepany.

    No matter how many people reported her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science video was not affected at all.

    The more the Han people insulted her, the more popr Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video became, and it spread more and more.

    Although the video was short,

    However, a few important information were remembered by internationalizens.

    Before this, they only knew that China was a very old country, but they did not know how old it was. This time, in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video, they knew.

    <i>Oh, so this was an ancient kingdom with more than five thousand years of history. This was too long.</i>

    Furthermore, they also knew that this country had cultural history records from a long time ago and had learned a very famous book in China called the ¡°Book of Poetry¡±.

    What left the deepest impression on everyone was naturally the eight major cuisines.

    Some curiousizens wanted to know what the eight major cuisines were, but they realized that they could not list them all.

    At this moment, the statement that the Han people had said that China had stolen their pickle technology was very baseless.

    [To be honest, there are so many dishes in China¡¯s eight major dishes. Any one of them looks better than that cabbage.]

    [Has anyone ever been to China for a vacation? Is it really as good as the video says? I kind of want to go. I¡¯m very curious about how the people there live.]

    [The person in front, I¡¯ve been there before. The food is really delicious, so I don¡¯t understand why the Han Country has the cheek to pester China about the ownership of food. In terms of food, China is really invincible.]

    A dispute started by Xia Wanyuan was resolved in her popr science video.

    In fact, as her video circted, more people saw the tip of the iceberg of China that they did not understand in the past.

    When the news spread to China, theizens felt relieved.

    [ Howl, howl, howl, howl! My goddess is really too handsome! Let¡¯spare our origins. Then I¡¯ll teach you a lesson with a popr science video. ]

    [ Disgusting. Country Han is really speechless. Some time ago, they forcefully turned a legendary figure into their ancestor and forcefully raised their country¡¯s history to more than five thousand years, but it has no substance at all. Look at our Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ssic appearance. This is a real person with substance. ]

    [I love her, I love her. This is how you should treat them. If you don¡¯t teach them a lesson, they¡¯ll really think they¡¯re something.]

    Theizens had just begun to cheer when Han Country was angered by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video of kimchi. Hence, they began to think of ways to report Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount to the ban.

    More importantly, they refused to admit that they had learned everything from China.

    In the eyes of the Han people, many of China¡¯s skills had been snatched from Han Country and forcefully be their own.

    This kind of speech was once prevalent on FINS.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video ount on the Inte updated another post.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°In order to let everyone understand China¡¯s culture more, we will update popr science videos of China¡¯s culture every week. The content of this week¡¯s update is China¡¯s knot.¡±

 Chapter 1156 - Slapping the Foreign Internet

    <h4>Chapter 1156: pping the Foreign Inte</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s post clearly hit the pride of the Han people again.

    <i>What was a Chinese knot??</i>

    <i>That was clearly the knot of Han Country!!?</i>

    Their Han Country had just dered this technology as a cultural heritage. Now, Xia Wanyuan actually said something about a Chinese knot for no reason. It was simply unreasonable.

    [What Chinese knot? The thief is shameless. Are the Chinese used to stealing things? We¡¯ve already applied for the Chinese knot!!]

    [Report! It¡¯s too disgusting. I hate China the most. They boast that they¡¯re in the country every day and steal everything from others.]

    [ Trash Xia Wanyuan, trash China, the Han Country knot is ours. ]

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s post, theizens of Country Han cursed 240,000ments.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly uploaded the popr science video about the Chinese knot.

    Xia Wanyuan had found arge number of technical talents to help make these videos in a short period of time. Not only were there various styles of Chinese knots, but there were also dozens of categories.

    There was also Xia Wanyuan¡¯s text exnation.

    ¡°The Book of Changes.¡± ¡°In ancient times, it was ruled by a rope. In the future, the Saint Yi Zhi used a book contract.¡± In the Book of Changes, Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty said, ¡°The knot is a contract. The matter is big, the big knot is the rope. The matter is small, the small knot is the rope¡­¡±

    The ssic quote was reasonable. Compared to the ipetent anger in thements, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video was much more convincing.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s every move would cause the media to fight to report. The news of her posting a popr science video on the Inte quickly swept through the country.

    Theizens had always been dissatisfied with the Han people¡¯s actions of snatching things from China, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, China did not have much say on foreign websites.

    This time, with an influential ount like Xia Wanyuan rifying, theizens spontaneously registered an outside ount and collectively climbed over the wall to support Xia Wanyuan on the outside.

    There had always been a saying in the country.

    The wall between the external and internalworks was to protect foreignizens, not domesticizens.

    After all, there were more than a billion Chinese people, and the number ofizens was even greater. Even if only a small portion of them went out, theirbat strength was still on par with foreignizens.

    Hence, thements section that was originally upied by the insults of the Country Hanizens

    after the Chineseizens settled in, itpletely became the territory of the Chineseizens.

    [Aiyo, I heard that a son tried to steal your father¡¯s things. Let me see which unfilial son is looking for a beating?]

    [ Amazing, we don¡¯t even dare to scold Xia Wanyuan ourselves. You¡¯re quite amazing. You actually scolded her 240,000ments. You¡¯re so amazing. ]

    [ I¡¯m here to support our goddess! The pickle originated from China!! The Chinese knot is our country¡¯s cultural heritage!!! Repeat these two sentences a hundred times!! Shameless Han people! ]

    The Chineseizens were full of fighting spirit. Soon, the original scoldingments were all covered up and reced by all sorts of popr sciencements and videos.

    Theizens from other countries were originally here to watch themotion, but no one was stupid.

    The two parties who quarreled would only be helpless and furious when they had conclusive historical evidence. Everyone naturally knew who was right and wrong.

    Not only was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science video not reported sessfully, but it also became one of the top ten popr videos that day and became a clear stream among the many foreign videos on the Inte.

    After Jun Shiling¡¯s meeting, when he returned to the office, he saw Xia Wanyuan typing angrily on her phone.

    He walked over and saw that Xia Wanyuan was using Han words to exin the history of Han Country to theizens.

    Over the years, in order to improve the national pride of their country, Country Han had tampered with textbooks. Many citizens of Country Han thought that their country had more than five thousand years of history and even naturally thought that they were the origin of East Asian culture.

    Xia Wanyuan disyed all sorts of historical facts and forcefully exined to them.

    Many Country Hanizens could not take the sudden impact and cursed crazily in thements, making Xia Wanyuan even angrier.

    Jun Shiling smiled and took Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone away. ¡°Alright, baby.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around, her eyes clearly unhappy.

    Although this thought was very wrong, Jun Shiling did like to see Xia Wanyuan angry.

    She was not as gentle as usual. When Xia Wanyuan was angry, her eyes were filled with dignity. However, in front of Jun Shiling, her expression was a little delicate and her cheeks were slightly puffed up, making her look extremely cute.

    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have known if I didn¡¯t look at it. So that¡¯s how foreigners see China. So the rest of the world doesn¡¯t know China at all.¡±

    Perhaps because of the influence of her thoughts in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had rarely paid attention to the thoughts of people in other parts of the world towards China.

    After all, in her previous life, China was the most advanced country in the world. The gazes from other ces were filled with submission and envy. There was no such phenomenon as being casually insulted today.

    ¡°Your impression can always change slowly.¡± Jun Shiling walked over and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s facefortingly. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m angry.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheeks puffed up slightly. ¡°The Han Country in history was once my vassal country and even came to worship me. At that time, the Han Country even had to queue to obtain the right to worship.¡±

    At that time, Han Country was a subsidiary country of China. Their ruler was a ¡°prince¡± personally conferred by Xia Wanyuan. He could not even be considered a king.

    Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s backfortingly. ¡°Our queen, calm down.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and did not speak.

    She was still angry.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart, this was simr to rebellion. How could the heirs of the Han Country back then dare to speak to me like this? (italics)

    Jun Shiling was both amused and heartbroken. He pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    Soon, Jun Shiling¡¯s official Weibo posted a post.

    @ Jun Shiling: ¡°The Jun Corporation and the Xiafeng Group will set up a specialized overseas culturalpany to promote and develop Chinese culture. @ Xia Wanyuan, wife, calm down.¡±

    The number of followers on Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo kept rising.

    At this moment, the number of fans on their Weibo had exceeded 100 million.

    The moment Jun Shiling posted on Weibo, it immediately attracted arge number ofizens.

    [I don¡¯t know if I should say that Jun Shiling is awesome or that Jun Shiling is too much. If you set up apany, so be it. What¡¯s the meaning of this dog food? Isn¡¯t it too much?]

    [ Ahhhhh, I like Xia Wanyuan too much!!! I can imagine the scene of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheeks bulging from the kimchi incident and CEO Jun coaxing his wife. ]

    [What kind of beautiful love is this? I¡¯m crying. I just want to say that the two of you deserve to be happy for the rest of your lives. Also, thispany was established beautifully!! Our China has so many brilliant cultures. We should go out of the country and let the foreigners see how amazing China is!]

    Weibo was lively, and the Inte was noisy.

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science video had only caused a small fluctuation on the Inte,

    However, some people had already acutely sensed the change in the wind.

    For a long time, China¡¯s shoring ofcking the right to speak internationally might bepletely resolved by Xia Wanyuan.

    Hence, that day, the officials sent someone to contact Xia Wanyuan and expressed their willingness to work with her. They invited Xia Wanyuan to be the spokesperson for China¡¯s traditional culture and work on promoting China¡¯s cultural image.

    Xia Wanyuan happily agreed.

    After the news spread, there was another shock in the country.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image had undoubtedly obtained the official approval.

    With the enhancement of this halo image, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status rapidly increased.

    ¡°Tsk tsk, say, this Xia Wanyuan is really something. She used the pickle incident to fiercely earn the favor of her countrymen. Now, she even has a cultural spokesperson.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling is standing behind her. What can¡¯t she do?¡± Su Yueran held a ss of red wine and was sitting peacefully on the sofa, listening to her manager¡¯s continuousints.

    ¡°I just feel that it¡¯s not worth it for you. I think this Xia Wanyuan might be doing it on purpose. Every time you¡¯re in the limelight, she¡¯ll appear. This time, you¡¯re clearly promoting your new movie. Why did she jump out to make a popr science video? She¡¯s really too much.¡±

    In order to hook Su Yueran up with the international film industry, thepany had specially invested five million yuan in public rtions to promote Su Yueran¡¯s coboration with Director Charon, as well as Su Yueran¡¯s new movie with an international director.

    Unexpectedly, after spending five million, all sorts of publicity began. At this moment, Xia Wanyuan jumped out.

    She easily focused all theizens¡¯ attention on her. Thepany¡¯s five million yuan in public rtions fees disappeared without even hearing a sound.

    Su Yueran took a sip of red wine. ¡°Alright, stopining. I¡¯m going outter.¡±

    ¡°Okay, do you need a bodyguard to follow you?¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Su Yueran put down the wine ss, stood up, tidied her clothes, and walked out.

    In a quiet clubhouse in Beijing, a straight figure was sitting in a private room by theke.

    At the agreed time, the woman looked up at the watch on her wrist and frowned.

    Just as she stood up, the door suddenly opened and Su Yueran walked in with a smile.

    ¡°Sister, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven¡¯t seen you in three years, but you¡¯re still so punctual.¡±

    ¡°How did you know that I returned to Beijing?¡± The person who spoke was straightforward with the neatness of a soldier.

    Su Yueran walked to the table and gestured for the person to sit down. ¡°It¡¯s been three years since west met, but Sister Wei is still so beautiful.¡±

    Lin Wei ignored Su Yueran¡¯s ttery and sat down with her. ¡°If there¡¯s anything, just say it.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I have anything on.¡± Su Yueran poured a cup of tea for Lin Wei. ¡°Sister, didn¡¯t you receive the invitation?¡±

    Lin Wei was stunned. ¡°What invitation?¡±

    ¡°Brother Lin Qingyuan¡¯s birthday and his inauguration ceremony.¡± Su Yueran nced at Lin Wei. ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t Brother Lin Qingyuan send you an invitation?¡±

    Lin Wei shook her head. ¡°No, since he didn¡¯t send an invitation, I won¡¯t go.¡±

    Lin Wei had only taken a few days off when she returned from the southwest this time. Coincidentally, her mentor was in Beijing, so Lin Wei came to visit. She did not expect Su Yueran to know that she had returned.

    ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Although Brother Lin Qingyuan didn¡¯t say it, your father said that he wanted me to remind you to be extremely present.¡±

    Lin Wei nodded. ¡°I understand. Is there anything else?¡±

    Su Yueran shook her head. ¡°No, but I personally want to ask you a question.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Sister, do you know Jun Shiling?¡± As Su Yueran spoke, she quietly observed Lin Wei¡¯s expression.

    Lin Wei nodded. ¡°I know.¡±

    ¡°How did you meet him? I remember that Sister is stationed in the southwest all year round. How did you have the chance to meet Jun Shiling?¡±

    Lin Wei looked at Su Yueran in confusion. ¡°He¡¯s the richest man in China and the head of the Jun family. Don¡¯t you know him?¡±

    Su Yueran observed Lin Wei¡¯s expression seriously. Seeing that her expression was normal, she smiled. ¡°No, of course I know him. I was just asking casually. Sister, don¡¯t mind me.¡±

    Lin Wei stood up. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first. I still have something on.¡±

    Su Yueran also stood up. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave too. Where are you going, Sister? I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    ¡°No need. I¡¯m going to the courtyard. You can¡¯t enter.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wei left the private room.

    Behind her, a dark glint shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes.

    Although Lin Wei was from the Lin family, she had grown up in the camp and was difficult to control.

    Su Yueran could not get any news from her and could only give up.

    In Glory World Corporation.

    Feng Wuyou leanedzily on the sofa, hugging potato chips and coke as she scrolled through Weibo happily.

    ¡°Wow!! He¡¯s too handsome!!¡± Feng Wuyou wanted to exim from time to time.

    Not far away, Xuan Sheng, who was working, could not stand Feng Wuyou¡¯s noisy appearance. ¡°Can you not follow me? I¡¯ve given you my card and car. Go wherever you want. Just don¡¯t hang around in front of me.¡±

    Feng Wuyou bit off a potato chip. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go. It¡¯s morefortable here.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou ced the coke on the table. ¡°To be honest, Old Xuan, you have good taste. I like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personality too much. She¡¯s so beautiful. Tell me, why are you so disappointing? Why did you let that old-fashioned Jun Shiling seize the initiative?¡±

    Xuan Sheng had lost count of how many times this conversation had happened today. He rubbed his temples with a headache. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Feng Wuyou pursed his lips. ¡°No, do you have Xia Wanyuan¡¯s contact information? I want to y with her. She seems very interesting.¡±

    Xuan Sheng frowned. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Feng Wuyou waved his hair. ¡°You¡¯re too pitiful.¡±

    Forget it, I don¡¯t have any hopes for Xuan Sheng anymore. He liked Xia Wanyuan for so long but he doesn¡¯t even have her contact number. It¡¯s too depressing. (italics)

    Thinking of how theizens on Weibo had mentioned that Xia Wanyuan was teaching at Qing University, Feng Wuyou stood up.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to donate a building to Qing University. Will the Qing University let me go in and listen to the lecture?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at Feng Wuyou speechlessly. ¡°Where did you get the money?¡±

    ¡°I¡­¡± Feng Wuyou wanted to say that she had money in her card, but on second thought, she had secretly sneaked to China. Her bank card had been frozen, and she had no money at all.

    Feng Wuyou smiled awkwardly and leaned towards Xuan Sheng. ¡°Um, don¡¯t you have money? Lend it to me first and I¡¯ll return it to you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng extended a hand. ¡°Where¡¯s the card I gave youst time?¡±

    Feng Wuyou took out her bank card and ced it in Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand. ¡°Here. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Xuan Sheng took the bank card back and locked it in the cab. ¡°Stop fooling around. Otherwise, I¡¯ll call your family and tell them that you¡¯re in China.¡±

    ¡°Hey!! Xuan Sheng, you¡¯re too much!¡± Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°If you take away the bank card, how am I supposed to buy things?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you insist on following me? Then you don¡¯t have to buy anything,¡± Xuan Sheng said and began to bury his head in the documents again.

    ¡°¡­¡± Feng Wuyou gritted her teeth in anger. She leaned towards Xuan Sheng. ¡°Okay, if you don¡¯t give me the card, I won¡¯t let you work either.¡±

    Xuan Sheng rubbed his eyebrows<i>. I really could not do anything to this woman.?</i>¡°You don¡¯t have to donate a building to attend sses at Qing University. It¡¯s fine as long as you can get into the school.¡±

    Just as Xuan Sheng finished speaking, Feng Wuyou¡¯s figure had already disappeared from the office.

    Xuan Sheng thought for a while and finally made a call.

    The phone was picked up after three rings. An extremely maic voice came from the phone. ¡°CEO Xuan, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Xuan Sheng sighed. ¡°Bring your fianc¨¦e back.¡±

    He really regretted agreeing to let Feng Wuyoue to China with him.

    On the other end of the line, the man chuckled. ¡°Since she likes to y, let her y for a few more days. Thank you for taking care of her, CEO Xuan.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, the other party hung up. Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Xuan Sheng felt helpless.

    Beside a diamond mine in Continent F, a handsome man who did not match the mine was casually fiddling with his phone.

    ¡°CEO Chu, the exploration work here has beenpleted. We can proceed to the next step.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The handsome man waved his hand. It was obvious that his mind was not on this.

    ¡°CEO Chu, Miss Wuyou seems to have left Continent M. The person in charge of protecting her reported that Miss Wuyou has disappeared,¡± the assistant said carefully to Chu Yi as he observed his expression.

    ¡°I know.¡± Chu Yi took a few steps forward and picked up a small diamond. The diamond shone brightly in the sunlight. ¡°Stay here and be in charge of the mine. I¡¯ll go to China.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant nodded respectfully, but his eyes were filled with confusion.

    <i>It was really strange.</i>

    <i>Why was Young Master going to China??</i>

    Although the Chu family was Chinese, from the Old Master¡¯s generation, the entire family had moved to Continent F. After a hundred years of development, the Chu family had already be a hegemon in Continent F.

    <i>The Chu family had long lost contact with China, but now, Young Master was going back to China. Why was he going back? Could his safety be guaranteed??</i>

    While the assistant was thinking, Chu Yi had already disappeared by the roadside and was rushing to the airport.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Qing University.

    Xia Wanyuan taught the students as usual. She scanned the ssroom and saw the person who had bumped into her car that day.

    After all, Feng Wuyou¡¯s beautiful appearance was too eye-catching.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan look at her, Feng Wuyou waved at her and even blew her a kiss.

    She had grown up in Continent M and her style was biased towards the boldness of the Americans.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and began her daily lecture.

    Feng Wuyou had originallye to see the beauty, but she did not expect Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lecture to be so interesting.

    Although she was Chinese, she did not know much about China. She listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation with relish.

    ¡°Alright, today¡¯s ss is over. Does anyone have anything to ask?¡± It was time for the daily question-and-answer session again. Xia Wanyuan closed her book and began to answer the students¡¯ questions.

    Feng Wuyou raised her hand crazily with the students. She was finally chosen by Xia Wanyuan for thest question.

    She stood up and did not have any academic questions to ask Xia Wanyuan. She asked Xia Wanyuan very directly, ¡°Beauty, can I treat you to a mealter?¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s sudden sentence caused the students tough. Xia Wanyuan was also a little surprised.

    However, she did not feel any hostility from Feng Wuyou. In the end, Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Of course.¡±

    The bell rang after ss. Xia Wanyuan walked out with her things, and Feng Wuyou followed her.

    She had always been direct and liked to look at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, so she kept staring at her.

    In the video, she had already felt that Xia Wanyuan suited her aesthetics very well. Now that they were facing each other, if not for the fact that he was afraid that she would scare Xia Wanyuan with her enthusiasm, Feng Wuyou really wanted to hug and kiss her.

    Sensing Feng Wuyou¡¯s straightforward gaze, Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°Miss Feng, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Feng Wuyou shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just think you¡¯re really good-looking. No wonder you don¡¯t like Old Xuan.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Old Xuan was referring to Xuan Sheng. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡±

    ¡°Anything is fine. I¡¯ll eat whatever you eat.¡±

    As Feng Wuyou spoke, she walked forward and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm.

    When she was in ss just now, she secretly checked the etiquette of the Chinese.

    The Inte said that usually, if they exchanged ten sentences, the two of them would be familiar with each other.

    Feng Wuyou kept counting.?<i>Including what I had said to Xia Wanyuan after my car bumped into hers, the two of us should be considered friends!</i>

    Sensing that Feng Wuyou was different from ordinary women, there was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Miss Feng, you¡¯re not Chinese?¡±

    Feng Wuyou waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m Chinese, but I grew up in Continent M. This is my second timeing to China after twenty years.¡±

    ¡°Then why did youe to China this time?¡±

    Feng Wuyou did not hide it. In her heart, Xia Wanyuan was already listed as one of the people she could trust. ¡°It¡¯s all because I wanted to escape marriage. It¡¯s so annoying. My parents want to marry me to a miner in Continent F. A miner!!! Just thinking about it, I know he¡¯s a burly man. I don¡¯t want to marry him.¡±

    The entire Feng family was developing in Continent M, so marriage between families was verymon.

    In order to consolidate their strength and expand their market in Continent F, the Feng family had chosen Chu Yi, the eldest son of the Chu family, the overlord of Continent F.

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s personality had always been unable to ept restrictions.

    She could not ept such a matchmaking marriage that forced the two of them together. Later on, after knowing that Chu Yi was a miner, she could not ept it even more.

    Thanks to the various television dramas that shaped the image of miners, when Feng Wuyou heard that Chu Yi was a miner,

    Soon, an image of Chu Yi appeared in her mind.

    He was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 190. He had a dark face and a thick figure. When he grinned, he revealed a row of white teeth.

    Feng Wuyou did not like this, but her parents forced her to meet him.

    On the eve of their meeting, Feng Wuyou secretly slipped out of her house and fled to China to join Xuan Sheng.

    Xia Wanyuan had seen the map of the world¡¯s families that Jun Shiling had given her. Hearing Feng Wuyou mention the Feng family, she realized.

    <i>Feng Wuyou was actually from the Feng family.?</i>

    ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s not talk about these unhappy things.¡± Feng Wuyou pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Beauty, what are we eating for lunch?¡±

    ¡°Anything is fine. I¡¯ll bring you to the restaurant and you can order it yourself,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she took out her phone and called Jun Shiling.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan could not eat with him at noon, Jun Shiling¡¯s grievance seeped out of the phone. ¡°Mrs. Jun, shouldn¡¯t you fulfill your duty as a wife? Are you not even eating with your husband now?¡±

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll eat with you tonight. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan ignored Jun Shiling¡¯s bitterness and hung up.

    Feng Wuyou rarely ate Chinese food. Looking at the menu, she wanted to eat all of them. Xia Wanyuan was also generous and ordered every signature dish for her.

    In the end, Feng Wuyou burped.

    She took a photo of the dining table and sent it to Xuan Sheng with the words, ¡°Look, Xia Wanyuan treated me to a meal.¡±

    The veins on Xuan Sheng¡¯s forehead twitched. He dragged out the phone number he had just called and typed a few lines before sending it out.

    At the airport, Chu Yi, who was about to board the ne, took out his phone and nced at it.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t take Feng Wuyou away, I¡¯ll send her back to the Feng family.¡±

    Chu Yi tapped his finger gently and closed the message. Then, he stepped onto the ne to China.

    In China, after the meal, Feng Wuyou looked at Xia Wanyuan with sparkling eyes.

    <i>Not only was Xia Wanyuan good-looking, but she also treated me to a meal. Good person!?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan still had something on in the afternoon, so she greeted Feng Wuyou and left. Feng Wuyou sat alone in the private room and ate afternoon tea at three or four in the afternoon before leaving.

    Feng Wuyou, who was satisfied with his food, returned to Glory World Corporation. Seeing Xuan Sheng¡¯s impatient expression, she could not help but purse her lips and hand the things she had packed to Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Here, Xia Wanyuan invited me to eat. I brought you some food. In essence, Xia Wanyuan also invited you to eat. Eat properly. Look at your stomach. It¡¯s been tortured by you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked up and took the thing from Feng Wuyou. ¡°When are you leaving?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not leaving.¡± Feng Wuyou sat on a chair. ¡°I¡¯ll be forced to marry when I go back. I don¡¯t want to marry a miner.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng had never seen Chu Yi in person, but from his voice, he knew that he was not the illiterate rough man Feng Wuyou had mentioned. ¡°Aren¡¯t you obsessed with looks? If Chu Yi is very handsome, won¡¯t you lose out?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? He mines in Continent F all year round. It¡¯s impossible for him to be very handsome.¡± Feng Wuyou waved his hand. ¡°You don¡¯t have to persuade me on behalf of my parents. Anyway, it¡¯s impossible for me to marry Chu Yi. If I can like him, I¡¯ll eat this stool live.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Feng Wuyou, speechless. ¡°I hope you can do as you say.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    The filming of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± waspleted and they entered the final editing and special effects production process.

    Although ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was a period drama and most of it was filmed in real life, many of the grand scenes and war scenes in the drama basically needed special effects to make the scene more exquisite.

    Relying on the financial resources of the Jun Corporation, the production team invited the most famous team in the world, YG Studio, to do the final special effects synthesis for ¡°Eldest Princess¡±.

    They had already agreed to cooperate with the other party at the average price in the industry. YG Studio had also agreed to enter the production team at the beginning of April and start all sorts of post-production.

    However, it was already the middle of April, and the studio still had not moved in.

    The director urged them a few times, but there was no response. Without a choice, the director could only find Xia Wanyuan and see what she could do.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ¡°Didn¡¯t we sign a contract? On the contract, what was the date for them to enter the production?¡±

    At this point, the director looked a little troubled. ¡°Sigh, YG Studio is the top studio in the world. They usually have the final say. When we signed the contract back then, we didn¡¯t set a specific time. They said that they wanted to see if it was convenient for them.¡±

    In the end, it was because it was too difficult to ask for help. Who asked them to not have a top studio team? They could only rely on foreign studios.

    They controlled the core technology and was naturally very arrogant. They coulde to the production team whenever they wanted.

    ¡°Call their person-in-charge again now.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the director.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The director found the person-in-charge¡¯s number and called.

    The phone rang nearly ten times before it was picked up.

    ¡°Hello? Didn¡¯t I tell you that we woulde over when we have time? Isn¡¯t it annoying? Why do you keep calling?¡± Before the director could say a word, the other party had already said a lot of things impatiently.

    ¡°Hello, hello. I would like to ask, didn¡¯t we agree to start work at the beginning of Aprilst time? It¡¯s been half a month. When are youing to China?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re busy with Director Charon¡¯s movie. We don¡¯t have time to go over for the time being. After we finish the post-production of Director Charon¡¯s movie, we¡¯ll naturally go to China to do the post-production for you. What¡¯s the hurry?¡±

    ¡°No, if you don¡¯te for a day, our production costs will increase by a day. We can¡¯t waste time like this, right?¡± The director was very angry.?<i>Director Charon was human, so was our production team, right??</i>

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to wait, then make it yourself,¡± the other party said impatiently and hung up.

    Looking at the hung up phone, the director looked at Xia Wanyuan awkwardly. ¡°Sigh, what do you think we should do?¡±

    Even though he was already so angry, he still had to endure it in the end. After all, he still had to rely on YG Studio toplete his work.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the phone thoughtfully. ¡°Didn¡¯t he just tell us the solution?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The director was a little stunned.?<i>What did he tell me?</i>

    ¡°We¡¯ll do it ourselves.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°Since the studio outside is unwilling to do it for us, we¡¯ll set up a studio ourselves.¡±

    ¡°?¡± The director looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion. ¡°Set up your own studio?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. It was better to rely on herself than on others. She would set up one herself. As long as the remuneration was rich, she was not afraid that she would not be able to recruit skilled talents.

    Neither the director nor Xia Wanyuan had expected that in the next few years, because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s idental thought, it could directly push China¡¯s film technology forward for at least 50 years.

    <h4>Chapter 1158: That Person is in the Light</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The director thought that Xia Wanyuan was just saying it casually because she was angry at YG Studio. What he did not expect was that

    Xia Wanyuan really did it. She called Shen Qian over that day and arranged this mission for him.

    ¡°Okay, CEO Xia. I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡± Shen Qian basically epted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions without any resistance.

    Shen Qian was efficient and summoned the relevant people for a meeting overnight. The next morning, he tidied up the studio¡¯s structure and ced it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Xia, our studio is already in ce, and there¡¯s no problem with the funds. We justck people to move in.¡±

    Speaking of personnel, Shen Qian was a little worried. In fact, venue funds were not a problem for the current Xiafeng Group.

    Only talent and skills were the biggest problems.

    ¡°You¡¯re in charge of contacting famous international studios and see if you can poach some people. High sries are not a problem. The important thing is to do things well.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Shen Qian had studied at a university in America back then. He knew many big shots in America¡¯s industry. Now, he could start from these threads and see if he could find an opportunity.

    ¡°Find a mature team first, then post a recruitment notice. As long as they¡¯re capable, recruit them for training.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, the Xiafeng Group posted recruitment notices on various websites.

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high poprity, even thepany she controlled received attention. When the recruitment announcement of the Xiafeng Group was released, everyone looked at the pile of special effects artists and a series of research and development talents and was a little puzzled.

    [Why are you hiring these? When did the Xiafeng Group change to the film industry?]

    [ Can¡¯t I beg Xia Wanyuan to find an international big-name studio to do special effects? Why must she find someone to do it herself? Our country¡¯s special effects are as rotten as shit. Don¡¯t waste time, okay? ]

    [I¡¯m cracking. The ¡°Eldest Princess¡± I¡¯ve been looking forward to for so long won¡¯t have cheap special effects, right? No!! Find YG Studio!! They specialize in special effects for international blockbusters.]

    Theizens were all worried about the post-production of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. However, offline, the recruitment event of the Xiafeng Group had already begun.

    After the cooperation with the Jun Corporation and Shen Qian¡¯s capable leader, the Xiafeng Group could already be considered one of the toppanies in China.

    The benefits and treatment of the corporation were good, and many people wanted to work here. However, the standards here were very strict, and ordinary freshmen rarely had the chance to enter.

    This time was different. There were two levels of recruitment. One was mature technicians, and the other was inexperienced students who met the requirements.

    Instantly, arge number of talents surged towards the Xiafeng Group. The special effects industry that was not valued in the past had be popr.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At Qing University, Xia Wanyuan had just finished a ss. The students walked out one after another. Feng Wuyou, who was in thest row, leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Beauty, do you want to eat togetherter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°I want to go back and rest today.¡±

    The Xiafeng Group had a good reputation and good benefits. There were too many people participating in the registration these few days. After Shen Qian scanned the list, he handed it over. Xia Wanyuan had been busy recruiting these few days and was really tired.

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Although Feng Wuyou felt regretful, her heart ached when she saw Xia Wanyuan frown slightly. ¡°Then rest well.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put away her things and was about to leave when she looked up and saw Jun Shiling standing at the door. She smiled. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked over to help Xia Wanyuan carry her bag. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. I¡¯ll pick you up. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at Feng Wuyou and left with Jun Shiling.

    Feng Wuyou sized up Jun Shiling from behind.

    <i>He was quite handsome, but he looked too cold. Tsk, I can¡¯t stand this type anyway, no matter how handsome he is.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss was really too interesting. Feng Wuyou, who had be famous under the American culture, was actually inexplicably interested in those traditional people and things in China.

    She knew that there was an antique street at the back door of the Qing University. Coincidentally, she had heard Xia Wanyuan talk about the contents of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone during ss. She was very interested, so she walked to the back door alone.

    The Qing University campus was veryrge. Feng Wuyou walked for nearly half an hour before reaching the back door. At this moment, the sky had already darkened and the streetmps were lit on both sides of the street.

    The antique street sold everything. Feng Wuyou bought a smallntern and stopped at the various vendors. Unknowingly, she had arge pile of things in his hand.

    ¡°This fan is so beautiful.¡± Feng Wuyou looked around curiously and nced at the fan sold by a small merchant at the corner. There were beautifulndscape paintings and calligraphy words on the fan.

    ¡°Boss, how much is this?¡±

    ¡°Five dors.¡± The boss was extremely enthusiastic when he saw that business had arrived.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Feng Wuyou nodded and went to pay. In the end, after flipping through it three or four times, he realized that his pocket was already empty.

    She looked at the boss helplessly. ¡°Can I swipe my card?¡±

    ¡°No, you can also choose to pay with your phone.¡±

    ¡°But I don¡¯t have a phone to pay.¡± Feng Wuyou looked at the fan eagerly. Ever since she returned to China, she had always used Xuan Sheng¡¯s card to swipe it. She had never used a phone to pay.

    ¡°Then there¡¯s no other way.¡± The boss looked at Feng Wuyou with aplicated expression.?<i>She¡¯s dressed so beautifully. Can¡¯t she pay with her phone? Is she lying??</i>

    <i>Hmph, if you don¡¯t want to buy it, so be it. You even found an excuse to lie. You¡¯re too much.?</i>

    ¡°Alright.¡± Feng Wuyou reluctantly ced the fan on the stall. Before she left, she even took a few nces at it<i>. The magpie on it was so cute. I like the furry one so much.?</i>

    As she looked at the fan and walked forward, she bumped into someone.

    ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m sorry, you didn¡¯t¡­¡± Feng Wuyou hurriedly turned around and apologized. Before she could finish speaking, she saw the man in front of her and swallowed the rest of her words.

    The man in front of her was very handsome. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed sses, and his eyes behind the sses were smiling. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± the man said.

    Feng Wuyou was still stunned by the beauty attack. The man smiled and waved his wrist in front of her. ¡°Miss?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Oh!¡± Feng Wuyou reacted and her ears turned red. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    With that, she took a step back and prepared to let the man leave first.

    The man took a step and suddenly seemed to see the wooden peace charm in her hand. His eyes flickered. ¡°Miss, is your surname Chu?¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°No, my surname is Feng.¡±

    Puzzlement shed across the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then why is the word ¡®Chu¡¯ on your Safety Talisman?¡±

    After his reminder, Feng Wuyou looked at the wooden peace charm in her hand. ¡°I took the wrong one!!!¡±

    She recalled that she must have taken the wrong surname when she left in a hurry.

    ¡°How about this?¡± The man narrowed his eyes behind his sses. ¡°My surname is Chu. How about you sell this to me for four yuan?¡±

    Feng Wuyou looked at the sign in her hand and simply handed it to the handsome man in front of her. ¡°No problem.¡±

    The man took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Feng Wuyou. ¡°Just give me one dor.¡±

    Feng Wuyou looked troubled. ¡°I don¡¯t have any money. Why don¡¯t you just lend me a dor in cash and I¡¯ll return you one on WeChat?¡±

    The man hesitated. ¡°Alright then.¡±

    Feng Wuyou took the money and handed the wooden peace talisman to the handsome man in front of him.

    Then, she took five yuan and bought the fan that she could not buy.

    Feng Wuyou happily turned around with the fan and saw that the handsome man had just left.

    He was wearing a white sweater and a ck coat. His side profile with sses looked deep and three-dimensional.

    For a moment, Feng Wuyou felt that she had met aic character that had walked into reality.

    Seeing that the handsome man she could only meet inics was about to leave, Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she dragged her things forward.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t added you on WeChat. Come, let¡¯s add each other on WeChat.¡±

    The man took out his phone and handed it to Feng Wuyou.

    After scanning the code, Feng Wuyou was about to fill in the name for him. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°Chu Yi,¡± the man said calmly.

    ¡°Huh?!¡± Feng Wuyou suddenly looked up with shock in her eyes.

    ¡°Is there a problem?¡± The man seemed confused by her reaction.

    Feng Wuyou waved her hand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    <i>There were more than a billion people in China, so it was normal for them to have the same name. Such a handsome young man was definitely not my unlucky fianc¨¦ who was mining.?</i>

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± The man began to set a note for Feng Wuyou.

    ¡°Feng Wuyou.¡± Feng Wuyou looked up and smiled at Chu Yi with a row of silver teeth. ¡°Meaning carefree and worry-less.¡±

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°What a good name.¡±

    Feng Wuyou was attacked by Chu Yi¡¯s beauty at a close distance. She looked at Chu Yi¡¯s face without blinking, her heart roaring crazily.

    <i>So handsome! Isn¡¯t this the refined, handsome, and gentle handsome man in theic!?</i>

    Looking at Chu Yi¡¯s handsome face, Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°Um, are you here to study?¡±

    Chu Yi nced at the entrance of Qing University. ¡°I finished my undergraduate studies here.¡±

    ¡°Then are you a graduate student now?¡± Before Chu Yi could finish speaking, Feng Wuyou had already automatically imagined a background with high quality and education for Chu Yi.

    Looking at Feng Wuyou¡¯s beautiful face, Chu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Feng Wuyou was even more excited.?<i>Wow, a little fresh meat.?</i>She coughed twice. ¡°Um, I¡¯m very familiar with the teachers here. If you have any questions, you can look for me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi smiled. ¡°Then, thank you, Sister.¡±

    Feng Wuyou almost froze when he heard her call him sister. She reached out and patted Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Okay, okay. Um, you¡¯ve already called me sister. Have you eaten?¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s eyes flickered and he looked at Feng Wuyou¡¯s hand on his shoulder. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then let me treat you. Let¡¯s go! Take it as returning your one-dor favor!¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi lowered his eyes to hide the smile in them. He reached out and took the things from Feng Wuyou. ¡°I¡¯ll help you carry them.¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s evaluation of Chu Yi increased again.

    <i>Look, what did I mean by a high-quality young man from the new era? He was handsome and sensible. He was simply too to my liking.</i>

    Thinking of this, Feng Wuyou turned to look at Chu Yi and said calmly, ¡°Um, the weather is so good today. Why didn¡¯t you go out for a walk with your girlfriend?¡±

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡±

    ¡°Are you married, then?¡±

    Chu Yi paused. ¡°Not yet.¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh.¡± Feng Wuyou was relieved.<i>?He was not married and did not have a girlfriend, which meant that he was still single.?</i>

    Along the way, Chu Yi was very cooperative and was asked all sorts of information by Feng Wuyou.

    After the meal, Feng Wuyou had already unterally marked Chu Yi as a focus to nurture.

    <i>Such a good-looking boy who knew how to read and had a good personality, and even had the same taste as me, was simply rare in the world, okay?!?</i>

    Feng Wuyou decided that she wanted to provide for him!!

    <i>Just like those socialites!!?</i>

    Hence, after the meal, when it was time to pay, the waiter brought the bill over. ¡°Hello, the total cost is 2,800 yuan. Who can settle the bill?¡±

    Before Chu Yi could speak, Feng Wuyou already looked like a financier. She waved her hand. ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s eyes flickered and he adjusted his sses. ¡°Then you can do it.¡±

    Feng Wuyou paid the bill happily and followed Chu Yi out.

    She nced at Chu Yi. ¡°Um¡­¡±

    ¡°Mm?¡±

    ¡°I grew up in America.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi nodded. ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°You know that Americans are more direct, right?¡±

    Chu Yi suppressed his smile.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Feng Wuyou swayed crazily between his face and the handsome man. ¡°That¡¯s right. Are you willing to let me provide for you?¡±

    It was a pity not to pull such a handsome man away, but she also knew that she would be captured by the Feng family for marriage sooner orter.

    Although she had been resisting, she knew very well that she had only dyed some time bying to China.

    In a little while more, the Feng family would definitely find her. At that time, she would really not be able to escape.

    Among all the people she had seen, Chu Yi was the one that moved her the most.

    Anyway, she only had a few days left. Feng Wuyou went all out.<i>?If I could see a handsome man for a day more, so be it!?</i>

    Chu Yi was clearly a little surprised by Feng Wuyou¡¯s words. He raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Provide?¡± There was confusion and an imperceptible danger in his voice.

    Although Feng Wuyou looked like she was used to seeing brothels, she was actually panicking.

    She regretted it a little when she said it.

    She did not know if she should me the ss of fruit wine on the table for being too intoxicating or if she should me the face of Chu Yi in front of her for being too to her liking, making her lose her mind for a moment.

    Feng Wuyou waved her hand. ¡°Haha, I was just joking. Don¡¯t take it to heart. I¡¯m usually¡­¡±

    However, before Feng Wuyou could finish speaking, Chu Yi took off his sses. His starry eyes were smiling.

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1159: Chinese Film Walking to the World</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Feng Wuyou was shocked. Her eyes widened as she looked at Chu Yi in a daze.

    <i>I was just being impulsive and casually said it. Why did Chu Yi agree? F*ck! He agreed?!!?</i>

    Feng Wuyou stood in front of Chu Yi in a daze. A gust of wind blew past, stirring the hair on her forehead. Chu Yi suppressed the smile on his lips. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡±

    Feng Wuyou waved his hand. ¡°No, but I want to ask you, why did you agree?¡±

    Feng Wuyou calmed down and looked at Chu Yi.<i>?Why would such a handsome and highly educated boy be reduced to being a kept man?</i>

    Just as Feng Wuyou finished speaking, Chu Yi lowered his eyes slightly and lowered his voice. ¡°I need money.¡±

    Chu Yi looked like a flower in the mountains, as if he would never bow down to others. Now that he lowered his eyes and looked a little disappointed, it inexplicably made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Feng Wuyou automatically imagined all sorts of miserable backgrounds for Chu Yi. Before Chu Yi could say anything, Feng Wuyou had already moved herself.

    She imitated those socialites and patted Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll protect you in the future.¡±

    A smile shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Feng Wuyou looked at the time.<i>?It was gettingte.</i>?¡°I¡¯m going home. You¡­¡±

    Feng Wuyou was speaking halfway, when she suddenly remembered her current rtionship with Chu Yi. ¡°Do you want to go back with me?¡±

    <i>Didn¡¯t my socialite sisters bring their handsome men back??</i>But thinking of the scene after bringing him home, Feng Wuyou suddenly blushed.

    Feng Wuyou roared crazily in her heart.?<i>No, I have to call those sisters and ask them how I can appear to be an experienced person.</i>

    Chu Yi kept looking at Feng Wuyou. Seeing the sudden frustration yet sudden smile on her face, he was amused and could not help but ask, ¡°Do you need me to do anything?¡±

    As he spoke, Chu Yi took off his sses and lowered his head to approach Feng Wuyou. His bright eyes actually had a deeper meaning.

    Seeing Feng Wuyou¡¯s increasingly nervous expression, Chu Yi even called out, ¡°Sister Sugar Mommy?¡±

    With a snap, Feng Wuyou felt that the string of rationality in her mind had broken. She waspletely seduced by Chu Yi¡¯s beauty.

    ¡°You¡­ You don¡¯t have to call me that.¡± Feng Wuyou swallowed her saliva. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first. Rest early. You don¡¯t have to go back with me.¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s intention to bring Chu Yi back waspletely shattered by the beauty.

    ¡°Let me send you back.¡± Chu Yi put on his sses and returned to his gentle and elegant appearance. Before Feng Wuyou could reject him, Chu Yi took Feng Wuyou¡¯s bag and walked forward. Feng Wuyou could only follow.

    Feng Wuyou had always been a talkative person, but along the way, Feng Wuyou actually fell into an inexplicable shyness.

    She sat in the front passenger seat and pretended to be dead, but her heart was roaring crazily.

    <i>What the hell?! What the hell is wrong with me? Why did I find myself a young hunk for no reason?</i>

    However, going back on her word now would probably make her lose face. Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyshes trembled crazily, and it was obvious that she was extremely conflicted.

    While waiting for the traffic light, Chu Yi turned to look at Feng Wuyou. A dark look shed across his eyes. When Feng Wuyou looked up at him, Chu Yi returned to his calm appearance.

    ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± Looking at Chu Yi¡¯s face that looked like it had walked out of aic, Feng Wuyou blushed.

    Although it was very embarrassing, she could not help but want to say that this young hunk was really good-looking.<i>?It was not a loss to keep him.?</i>

    ¡°You look good.¡± The light turned green and Chu Yi started the car.

    ¡°¡­¡± Feng Wuyou blushed silently, but on the surface, she still had to pretend that nothing had happened. ¡°Your mouth is still quite sweet. Not bad, I¡¯ll transfer the money to you when I get back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi was very cooperative.

    After sending Feng Wuyou to the entrance of the hotel, Feng Wuyou quickly unbuckled her seatbelt as if she was escaping a disaster.

    She was about to get out of the car when Chu Yi grabbed her wrist.

    ¡°What are you doing¡­¡± Before Feng Wuyou could finish speaking, a warmthnded on her cheek.

    Feng Wuyou widened her eyes and looked at Chu Yi.

    !!!!!

    Chu Yi, on the other hand, looked innocent. ¡°Isn¡¯t that what happens on television? Is there anything I didn¡¯t do? What else do I need to do?¡±

    ¡°No need, no need.¡± Feng Wuyou waved her hand frantically and almost ran out of the car. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first. Be careful.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou ran back to the hotel without looking back.

    In the car, Chu Yi smiled as he watched Feng Wuyou escape. The innocence in his eyes dissipated and there was a hint of evilness.

    Xuan Sheng happened to return from thepany and bumped into Feng Wuyou, who was running into the hall.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xuan Sheng frowned slightly. ¡°Are you sick? Your face is so red.¡±

    Feng Wuyou looked flustered and lowered her voice to ask Xuan Sheng, ¡°Do you Chinese look restrained on the outside, but in fact, you¡¯re especially unrestrained on the inside?¡±

    <i>Otherwise, why would that beautiful Chinese boy look so elegant and shy, but not be ambiguous when he did things?</i>

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Feng Wuyou, speechless. ¡°It seems that you¡¯re indeed sick. There¡¯s something wrong with your brain.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Feng Wuyou could not be bothered to argue with Xuan Sheng. She covered her face that had just been kissed by Chu Yi and felt that this small area was burning with an extremely high temperature.

    Meanwhile, Chu Yi¡¯s smiling eyes appeared in Feng Wuyou¡¯s dream for the entire night.

    After many days of screening, Xia Wanyuan and Shen Qian finally came up with the preliminary n for the studio, and the people were basically in ce.

    Not only were there more than ten top architects recruited from internationally at high prices, but there were also dozens of experienced post-production staff from China.

    Xia Wanyuan even instructed Shen Qian to recruit nearly two hundred inexperienced graduates and specially set up special sses to lead them in advanced studies to replenish their talents for future work.

    Such arge transfer of personnel in the industry naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    In particr, the dozen or so top architects poached from the internationalmunity were basically famous in the industry. They gathered in China together, causing international dissatisfaction.

    Xia Wanyuan was now considered a Chinese person that internationalizens were very familiar with.

    It was also because she was dedicated to exporting China¡¯s culture that she attracted the dissatisfaction of arge number of anti-Chinese people and many anti-fans on the Inte.

    A business backbone of the post-production team had been poached by Xia Wanyuan, so he directly criticized Xia Wanyuan on the Inte, attracting the support of many people.

    ¡°Simon was originally an extremely outstanding employee of ourpany. He was responsible for the main production of the Marvel series that fans of the world are familiar with. Now, Xia Wanyuan has used disgraceful methods to poach him away. She only cares about her own interests and ignored the needs of the vast number of fans. It¡¯s purely a waste to poach such a talent to China.¡±

    [I support simida. China is used to being a thief. Not only did they steal our country¡¯s pickles and traditional culture, but they also stole other people¡¯s employees. They really live up to their reputation as Chinese thieves.]

    [ The people of Han Country in front, can you stay where you are? Don¡¯t think that we won¡¯t scold you just because we scold Xia Wanyuan. The people of Han Country do sports fraud. I think it¡¯s as disgusting as China. You¡¯re all the same. ]

    [Are there any good movies in China? I don¡¯t think there are any, right? I¡¯ve never seen a Chinese movie screening here. It¡¯s a waste of resources for such a lousy movie to use such a good post-production member.]

    Facing the sourments of foreignizens, not only did the domestic people not feel angry, but they also felt happy.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. It¡¯s finally their turn to stomp their feet. Over the years, how many core talents have they poached from us? They can¡¯t stand it when we¡¯ve only poached one? Serves them right!! Infuriating them!!¡±

    However, although theizens felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poaching actions were very venting, they could not help but be worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie.

    [Although I¡¯m relieved, I still want to say that our country¡¯s movies are indeed worrying. We have 1.4 billion people in the country, but overseas, we really don¡¯t have much influence.]

    [ Let¡¯s put it this way. If she wants to make a name for herself, she still has to rely on sci-fi movies. The purpose of Xia Wanyuan setting up a studio is probably to push the next sci-fi movie to the world. Without further ado, I¡¯ll prepare the movie tickets for her first. ]

    In the studio, Chen Yun and the director had the same thoughts as theizens.

    ¡°The target of ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ is the domestic audience. We don¡¯t have many publicity ns overseas. We¡¯re preparing to leave all our big moves on next year¡¯s sci-fi film.¡± Chen Yun showed Xia Wanyuan the publicity n he had already made.

    Xia Wanyuan scanned it, her eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Why did you leave the overseas publicity for next year?¡±

    ¡°Because ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ is a traditional ancient movie in China and is destined to not be popr overseas. Instead of wasting time, it¡¯s better to focus on conquering the domestic audience.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not agree.

    Back then, when she worked with Liu Ling, Xia Wanyuan had wanted to use sci-fi movies to open the overseas market for Chinese movies.

    However, after the popr science video on the Inte some time ago,

    Xia Wanyuan realized that the foreign audience was not born to resist China¡¯s culture, nor were they born to dislike watching Chinese movies.

    It was only because they did not understand and the things they filmed were not attractive enough.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science videos werepletely about unfamiliar Chinese traditional culture. The number of views on the Inte was extremely high. After this period of fermentation, it had already be the most popr popr popr science video on the Inte this month.

    This meant that as long as the thing was done well enough, it would definitely be able to attract the audience.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan gave her opinion. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about the future. The science fiction movie is that on its own. I want to push this movie to the world.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Yun and the director were stunned.

    In the history of Chinese movies, it was not that no one had tried this before, but at most, they had pushed the movie to a few neighboring countries in Continent Y.

    Pushing Chinese ancient movies to the world? Anyone would say that it was a fool¡¯s dream.

    If not for the fact that Xia Wanyuan was sitting in front of them, Chen Yun and the director would have left on the spot.

    However, because Xia Wanyuan was sitting in front of them, the two of them did not dare to easily reject her opinion.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was best at creating miracles.

    ¡°Then, what are you going to do?¡± Chen Yun thought for a moment and decided to follow Xia Wanyuan¡¯s train of thought.

    Countless experiments in the past had proven that the path Xia Wanyuan took was definitely correct.

    ¡°Let¡¯s start with my popr science video.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°Work with me to operate the ount on the Inte and expand our influence. Let the internationalizens be interested in our country¡¯s traditional culture first, then release the promotional video for ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ bit by bit.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s train of thought, Chen Yun pped and praised. ¡°Let¡¯s start with that ount. I¡¯ll do another publicity n. You guys chat.¡±

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reminder, many thoughts burst into Chen Yun¡¯s mind. He sat back at his desk and began to type crazily on the keyboard.

    The director trembled and was inexplicably excited.

    ¡°Um, Wanyuan, are you confident in opening the overseas market?¡±

    ¡°Won¡¯t you know if you try?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were firm and confident. No one would doubt the truth of her words.

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The director gasped. ¡°Then, I don¡¯t even dare to think about what will happen in the future. Just thinking about it makes me excited.¡±

    International film history was at least decades ahead of China. To be honest, as a filmmaker, there was no director who did not have the dream of pushing Chinese film to the world.

    Chinese directors were respected in China, but to be honest, who would know them internationally?

    Not to mention the ostracization and mockery he had received internationally. Director Yang had to endure others¡¯ insults when he went overseas to participate in events. He did not feel good.

    However, the international influence of Chinese movies was weak. He had no choice. This was the truth. He had to admit it.

    But today, in Xia Wanyuan and Chen Yun¡¯s conversation, Director Yang seemed to have glimpsed another possibility.

    He did not dare to imagine what would happen if ¡°Eldest Princess¡± could really enter the international scene and be the number one movie in China¡¯s road to the world.

    Just running through that scene in his mind made his blood boil.

    ¡°Alright, Director. The post-production studio has just been established and we still need to work together. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on it. I have more things to do and might not be able to take care of it.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re treating me like an outsider. If this movie really seeds, I don¡¯t know how much I have to thank you!!¡± Director Yang looked at Xia Wanyuan with excitement.

    He was the movie director of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. They were bound together for good or bad. If he really seeded, he would leave his name forever. Not to mention watching the post-production work,

    He decided that from today onwards, he would live with the production team with his bedroll. He would go home when he finished his work.

    With a new goal, the director and Chen Yun rushed to the battlefield excitedly, leaving Xia Wanyuan sitting alone and preparing the new popr science video.

    ¡°Sister Xia.¡± Lu Li had unknowingly approached the house. She sat beside Xia Wanyuan and looked curiously at the video on herputer.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Lu Li as she typed. She saw that she seemed a little happy and hesitant.

    ¡°Can I take a few days off?¡± Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan tentatively. ¡°I know it¡¯s been especially busy these past few days, but it¡¯s my grandfather¡¯s seventieth birthday. I want to go back and visit him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan agreed readily. ¡°Of course. Go ahead. It¡¯s a paid leave.¡±

    Lu Li jumped up in joy and even hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Xia, I know you¡¯re the best.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need for you today. Go back and pack your things.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡±

    Watching Lu Li leave happily, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes suddenly filled with sadness.

    When Lu Li mentioned her grandparents, it reminded Xia Wanyuan of her grandfather, the person who had died in battle for the country.

    Not only was she unable to see her family again, but she also did not dare to confirm if the Xia Dynasty really existed in China¡¯s history.

    Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan immediately felt unhappy. She put away herputer and wanted to go out for a walk.

    Beside the studio was a park by theke. It was working hours and there were very few people in the park. Xia Wanyuan only wore a mask and strolled in the park, so no one recognized her.

    It had been more than a year since Xia Wanyuan arrived in this era. The willow trees by the roadside stretched out their green branches, and all sorts of beautiful flowers wereid on both sides like brocade.

    As she walked, she thought about how to make a more interesting popr science video.

    Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan walked to a rtively quiet alley.

    The sunlight shone through the tall sycamore trees and shone on the ground. The alley was quiet, and there was only a small stall selling goods sitting by the roadside to rest. There were all sorts of small things in the small stall in front of him.

    ¡°Miss, do you need to buy something?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan, the vendor waved enthusiastically at her.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. She had only wanted to take a casual look and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and looked at a corner in the bamboo basket.

    Xia Wanyuan squatted down and took out a small wooden tablet that had been deformed in the corner. ¡°Where did you get this?¡±

    ¡°You like this? I bought this in the west of the city. That shop specializes in selling this. They have other styles that are especially popr. If you like it, I¡¯ll sell it to you cheap.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held the wooden sign in her hand. ¡°Can you tell me the exact address?¡±

    ¡°28 Tianyuan Road, West City.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan paid the vendor and left with the wooden sign.

    Looking at the familiar symbols and words in her hand, confusion appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Thest time she discovered these was in Linxi City. Now, she had also discovered these words and symbols from her previous life in Beijing.

    <i>What was going on? Where did they get it?</i>

    Before Xia Wanyuan could figure it out, she met an unexpected person at the exit of the park.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun?¡± A straightforward female voice sounded behind her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and raised an eyebrow. ¡°Adjutant Lin?¡±

    <i>Wasn¡¯t the woman standing in front of me Lin Wei, who had helped Jun Shiling in the southwest?</i>

    ¡°Just call me Lin Wei.¡± Although Lin Wei was a little dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan at first and had hostility between love rivals,ter on, after seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability, Lin Wei wiped away all these hostility in her heart.

    From the bottom of her heart, Lin Wei admired Xia Wanyuan very much.

    All along, there were very few people who could make Lin Wei admire them, let alone Xia Wanyuan, who was the only woman.

    ¡°Lin Wei.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Why are you in Beijing?¡±

    Lin Wei walked forward. ¡°I¡¯m on leave. I¡¯ll leave tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was about to say something when another person walked over from afar.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, what a coincidence.¡± Su Yueran was wearing a simple sportswear and looked like she had juste out of the stadium.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s gaze shifted between Lin Wei and Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Sister actually knows Mrs. Jun.¡±

    Lin Wei¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°Mrs. Jun? Her?¡±

    Puzzlement shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t you know? This is the wife of the richest man in China, Jun Shiling. Don¡¯t you know her? I saw you talking.¡±

    Lin Wei¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°I haven¡¯t been to Beijing for too long. I don¡¯t know where the south gate you¡¯re talking about is, so I asked her for directions.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Su Yueran smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Then I¡¯m sorry, I was rude.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not n to say anything more to Su Yueran. She took the wooden tablet and left.

    ¡°Sister.¡± Su Yueran took a step forward and wanted to hold Lin Wei¡¯s arm.

    However, Lin Wei took a step back and did not let Su Yueran approach her. ¡°I¡¯m used to being alone in the military. I don¡¯t like others to approach me.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Su Yueran smiled faintly. ¡°Sister, it¡¯s almost time to eat. Let¡¯s find a ce to eat.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wei turned around and walked forward. Su Yueran jogged after her.

    On the other hand, after Xia Wanyuan left, she was a little puzzled.

    She did not expect Su Yueran to be rted to Lin Wei.?<i>So Su Yueran was actually from the Lin family?</i>

    No wonder the entertainment industry had always said that she had a powerful background.

    People from the Lin family indeed had a deep background.

    The phone rang. Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. Jun Shiling¡¯s voice came from the other end. ¡°Bao.¡±

    Just as he finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan stopped him. ¡°I¡¯ll go look for you now.¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Jun Shiling could only smile and hang up.

    Then, he looked at Lin Jing in front of him. ¡°Continue.¡±

    ¡°The ship that Xia Yu was in had entered the harbor, but Xia Yu hasn¡¯t returned. Captain meant that in order to save a Chinese child, Xia Yu secretly got off the ship and didn¡¯t follow them back. By the time they realized it, it was already toote.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned. ¡°So where¡¯s Xia Yu?¡±

    Lin Jing¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°Xia Yu should still be in Continent F. I don¡¯t know how the situation is. We¡¯ve already arranged for people to look for him, but the mes of war are frequent in Continent F, so it¡¯s difficult to find exact news.¡±

    Jun Shiling thought for a moment. ¡°In my name, get the Chu family to help find Xia Yu.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Jing nodded respectfully, then left the office to contact the Chu family.

    In the Beijing hotel, Chu Yi leaned on the sofa. Without his sses, he looked like a lion without his disguise, exuding a devilishziness.

    ¡°Young Master, Jun Shiling sent a message asking us to help them find someone.¡±

    Chu Yi yed with the diamond in his hand. ¡°Who is he looking for?¡±

    ¡°They didn¡¯t say it explicitly. They only said that it was a young boy, about neen years old. ording to our guess, it might be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother who joined the army, Xia Yu.¡±

    A glint shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°We can find someone.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling said that he¡¯s willing to provide the corresponding reward.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Go ahead.¡± Chu Yi stretched. ¡°It¡¯s not easy for the head of the Jun family to ask us for a favor. We still have to give him face.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The call was hung up. Chu Yi narrowed his eyes, thinking about something.

    After a while, he opened WeChat on his phone, clicked on his only friend¡¯s chat box, and sent a voice call.

    In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng had just returned from a meeting. He sat at his desk and revised a proposal. In the end, he could not help but look up and ask.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    By the sofa, Feng Wuyou was nestled like an ostrich and had been in this position for almost three hours.

    If it were anyone else, Xuan Sheng would definitely not even bother to ask. However, if it was Feng Wuyou, he felt that this was too abnormal.

    After all, Feng Wuyou was a person who could not stay idle at all. When had he ever seen her so quiet?

    Feng Wuyou said weakly, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±

    Xuan Sheng felt that there was even more of a problem. He put down the document in his hand and walked to Feng Wuyou. ¡°Are you sick?¡±

    Feng Wuyou nodded and shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡±

    Before Xuan Sheng could finish speaking, Feng Wuyou¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Feng Wuyou took it out and her expression changed drastically.

    The excitement and panic on Feng Wuyou¡¯s face were vividly reflected.

    ¡°Who called? Why didn¡¯t you answer?¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Feng Wuyou in confusion. ¡°Did you cause trouble again?¡±

    ¡°What? How is that possible?¡± Feng Wuyou encouraged herself in her heart and pressed the answer button.

    She was very confident. ¡°Hello.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Wuyou.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s voice was very maic to begin with. At this moment, there was a hint of a smile. Feng Wuyou felt that her ears were about to be melted by him.

    ¡°W-What Wuyou? Why are you calling me that?¡± Feng Wuyou stuttered and sounded fierce. Her face could not help but turn red.

    <i>What¡¯s wrong with this person?! Why did he call me by my name so intimately?</i>

    ¡°Huh? Sorry, I thought, okay, then I¡¯ll call you Miss Feng.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s voice sounded very terrified, as if he was at a loss.

    When he said this, Feng Wuyou felt that she was too domineering.

    She was a little embarrassed. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst time that you wanted to walk around Beijing with no one to apany you? I¡¯ve made a strategy. Can I bring you there?¡±

    When Chu Yi said this, Feng Wuyou felt that her attitude just now was even more bad. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll pick you upter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s tone sounded very obedient, making Feng Wuyou feel inexplicably controlled as a financier.

    Feng Wuyou could not help but sigh in her heart.

    <i>No wonder the socialites all liked to keep young hunks.</i>

    <i>It turned out that the feeling of a rich woman keeping a young hunk was really great!</i>

    After the call ended, Feng Wuyou looked up and saw Xuan Sheng looking at her with narrowed eyes.

    ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Feng Wuyou tried to look righteous, but her face was too red and she could not pretend at all.

    ¡°A man? Who?¡± Xuan Sheng sat in front of Feng Wuyou and assumed a questioning posture.

    ¡°Why are you asking so much?¡± Feng Wuyou turned her face to the side, revealing her red earlobe.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression became even more serious. He looked at Feng Wuyou. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you forgot your surname?¡±

    The moment Xuan Sheng said this, the redness on Feng Wuyou¡¯s face instantly faded. ¡°I know. You don¡¯t have to remind me.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression was still very serious. ¡°I don¡¯t need to tell you. I think you know that you¡¯re only temporary with me. You know the Feng family¡¯s methods better than me. You¡¯ll still marry Chu Yi in the end.¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s face was already very pale. ¡°I know. I just want to indulge onest time, okay? Can¡¯t the puppet have some time to breathe?¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked away. ¡°I don¡¯t care about your matters. I¡¯m just reminding you.¡±

    Feng Wuyou held her bag and looked very bad. ¡°I know you¡¯re doing this for my own good. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou left the office.

    She drove all the way to the entrance of Qing University.

    Chu Yi was still dressed in a familiar shirt and coat. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sses and holding a few books in his hand. He exuded a schrly aura.

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she felt a little regretful.

    She thought to herself,?<i>If only I wasn¡¯t from the Feng family.</i>

    When she got out of the car, Feng Wuyou had already restrained the expression on her face and returned to her usual beautiful appearance.

    She waved at Chu Yi. ¡°Here.¡±

    Chu Yi smiled at her and walked towards Feng Wuyou.

    Feng Wuyou watched as Chu Yi walked over step by step. Behind him was a garden filled with flowers and green trees, but no matter how many flowers there were, they seemed to be inferior to one of Chu Yi¡¯s thousands of charms.

    At this moment, Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart seemed to have stopped beating.

    ¡°Why are you in a daze?¡± Chu Yi walked up to Feng Wuyou and reached out to touch her head. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Feng Wuyou was about to pull Chu Yi away when she looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan walking towards the school gate.

    Feng Wuyou waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Beauty Yuan Yuan!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan heard the sound and nced at Feng Wuyou.

    In the first moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attention was attracted by Feng Wuyou, but in the next second, her gazended on Chu Yi.

    Chu Yi smiled and nodded at Xia Wanyuan shyly and elegantly.

    Xia Wanyuan waved back at Feng Wuyou, then turned and walked into the campus.

    Only then did Feng Wuyou walk into the car. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, you must know her, right? She¡¯s the most popr teacher in your school. I especially like her.¡±

    Chu Yi nodded, his eyes dark. ¡°Of course I know her. She¡¯s Jun Shiling¡¯s wife, the mistress of the Jun family.¡±

 Chapter 1161 - Something Happened

    <h4>Chapter 1161: Something Happened</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Feng Wuyou was focused on driving and did not notice Chu Yi¡¯s expression.

    She continued to praise Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I have to say, this Xia Wanyuan is really good-looking. She¡¯s simply on my aesthetic point. I like that temperament on her so much. What was that saying? I feel that when I see her, it¡¯s as if I¡¯m seeing the kind of beauty from China thousands of years ago.¡±

    Chu Yi leaned back in his chair, his eyes hidden behind his sses. His gaze changed several times, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

    Feng Wuyou spoke for a long time, but Chu Yi did not respond. She turned to look at Chu Yi. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?¡±

    Only then did Chu Yi smile at Feng Wuyou. ¡°I¡¯m not ignoring you. I just feel that Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t the most beautiful person I¡¯ve ever seen.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? Is there anyone who looks better than her?¡± Feng Wuyou did not believe it. She had seen countless beauties, but she did not think that anyone was better-looking than Xia Wanyuan.

    Chu Yi turned around and nced at Feng Wuyou. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°You. I think you¡¯re the best-looking.¡±

    Feng Wuyou mmed on the brakes and the car stopped instantly. Her ears were red, but she still wanted to take advantage of him. ¡°You¡¯re quite sweet. Why do you look very experienced?¡±

    Chu Yi adjusted his sses. ¡°I have no experience. You¡¯re my first buyer.¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s words sounded a little strange to Feng Wuyou¡¯s ears. She coughed. ¡°Um, do you need anything?¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou nced at Chu Yi. He was dressed very simply and did not have any additional essories on him. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to buy something.¡±

    <i>Since I¡¯m a sugar mummy, I had to spend money on him! Spending money was the first priority!</i>

    Hence, the original day trip to Beijing became a shopping spree. Feng Wuyou did not know what Chu Yi needed and bought everything she saw.

    When they parted ways in the end, Feng Wuyou even wanted to buy her a house. However, thinking of her bank card, she finally settled for the next best thing. ¡°I¡¯ll rent a house beside the school for you and a big one.¡±

    Chu Yi did not speak the entire time, but the smile in his eyes deepened. He looked at Feng Wuyou¡¯s unreserved expression and the corners of his lips curled up.

    In Glory World Corporation, seeing the money on his bank card decreasing, Xuan Sheng¡¯s veins twitched. He called Feng Wuyou. ¡°Feng Wuyou, where are you? Get back here.¡±

    Feng Wuyou smiled awkwardly. ¡°Hehe, I just used a little of your money. Why are you so excited?¡±

    ¡°Where did you go?¡± Xuan Sheng frowned. He was not worried about the money, but mainly because Feng Wuyou¡¯s behavior had been too strange recently, so he had to worry.

    ¡°I just bought something for my new sugar baby. You know, as a sugar mummy, you have to be more generous.¡± Feng Wuyou did not hide it from Xuan Sheng and told him everything.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng was really angry this time. ¡°Either you cut ties with that man or don¡¯te back to my ce. I don¡¯t want to follow you and help you deal with trouble.¡±

    No matter what, Feng Wuyou was still a member of the Feng family. As a member of the Feng family, she had to bear the obligations and responsibilities of the Feng family. It was impossible for Feng Wuyou to escape from that family.

    ¡°No, listen to me.¡± Feng Wuyou wanted to say something to Xuan Sheng, but Xuan Sheng had already hung up.

    Feng Wuyou stuck out her tongue. She stuck her head out and waved at Chu Yi at the school gate. ¡°I have something on. I¡¯ll leave first and visit you tomorrow.¡±

    Chu Yi smiled and nodded, looking extremely elegant.

    After Feng Wuyou¡¯s car left at the door, Chu Yi did not walk into the school. Instead, he went in the opposite direction.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Continent F.

    In a remote vige, an endless desert was right in front of them. When the wind blew, ayer of yellow sand was spread before their eyes.

    In the simple room, Xia Yu was lying on the ground with a face full of sweat. Dark red blood seeped out of the wound on his back, almost staining the ground.

    ¡°Brother Xia Yu.¡± Stone sat beside Xia Yu and kept wiping his tears. ¡°Boohoo, don¡¯t die. I beg you.¡±

    He seemed to have returned to a month ago when he saw his parents being shot in front of him.

    At that time, his parents were the same. As they bled, they looked at him. As they looked, the light in their eyes disappeared.

    Xia Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with much difficulty.

    A few days ago, Lin Yi brought Xia Yu and Stone along the forest. Not long after, the rebels began to search the forest wantonly.

    They had no choice but to walk towards the most remote ce.

    There was no specific direction along the way. There was war everywhere and destion.

    After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at this abandoned vige.

    However, they were already very close to the desert. In addition, they had not found a water source, and the wounds on Xia Yu¡¯s body began to fester.

    Lin Yi had left two days ago to find water, leaving Stone to guard Xia Yu.

    At this moment, Xia Yu¡¯s lips had already begun to dry up because he did not have enough water to replenish them. Fine lines began to crack on his face. He used all his strength to remind Stone, ¡°Listen to me.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Stone cried as he leaned into Xia Yu¡¯s mouth. ¡°Brother, tell me.¡±

    If I can¡¯t hold on anymore, drink my blood. If not, eat my flesh. You must wait for Lin Yi toe back and take you away, understand?¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s back was burning with pain. The festering wound and the gauze that was already soaked in blood mixed together. Any movement would hurt.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Stone¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°Brother Xia Yu, don¡¯t die. I don¡¯t want to drink your blood.¡±

    ¡°Listen to me.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were firm. ¡°If I can¡¯t survive, you have to live on for me.¡±

    Stone was stunned and tears flowed down his face. In the end, under Xia Yu¡¯s gaze, he nodded. ¡°I understand, Brother Xia Yu.¡±

    With that, Xia Yu could finally rx a little. He heaved a sigh of relief, as if he could finally rx and close his eyes.

    The overwhelming fog instantly covered all his consciousness, and his mind was nk.

    An extremely distant cry sounded in his ear. Xia Yu struggled in the white fog as if he could never see the end.

    Thest thought in his mind was,

    <i>I missed Xia Wanyuan so much.</i>

    <i>I wanted to eat Xia Wanyuan¡¯s food and y with Xiao Bao.</i>

    <i>What a pity, what a pity that I can¡¯t go back. I don¡¯t think I can call Xia Wanyuan sister anymore¡­?</i>

    At this moment, in Continent F, amidst the chaos, countless people were mobilized from all directions. SUVs crossed the desert and satellites constantly searched for signals.

    In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa reading when she suddenly felt a little ufortable. It was as if something was stuck there, making her unable to breathe.

    Jun Shiling nced at her and walked over to smooth the frown on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I keep feeling very flustered. Did something happen? Has Xia Yu returned to Beijing?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions of hugging Xia Wanyuan did not change, but his eyes flickered. His tone was very natural. ¡°When they returned to the country, they encountered a storm at sea. They¡¯re docked at the ck Triangle now and can¡¯te back for the time being.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that the situation at sea was changing, and this situation could not be avoided.

    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry. Have you been too tired recently? Let me help you rest for a while.¡± With that, Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and walked upstairs to the bedroom.

    Jun Shiling let Xia Wanyuan lie under the nket and kissed herfortingly. ¡°Sleep. I¡¯m going next door to do work. Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and closed her eyes.

    After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling gently walked out of the room and closed the door. His expression instantly turned solemn.

    He walked to the study and connected to the special line. Soon, someone picked up the phone.

    ¡°Have you found any news about Xia Yu?¡±

    ¡°Reporting, sir. Not yet. We¡¯ve already mobilized all the forces we have. However, Continent F is filled with war and various forces are divided. It¡¯s difficult for our search to progress.¡±

    This was an armed force, and that was another faction¡¯s armed force. They could die at any time if they crossed the distance of two cities. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to guarantee the safety of the rescue team, let alone find Xia Yu.

    Jun Shiling pondered for a moment. ¡°Then put a bounty on the spider web. As long as you can find Xia Yu in two days, the bounty is thirty million dors.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Under the heavy reward, there would definitely be brave men.

    No matter how chaotic Continent F was, the reward of thirty million dors still attracted all the mercenaries in the world to rush to Continent F.

    For a moment, Continent F became even more chaotic.

    In the underground world, Yu Qian naturally obtained this bounty immediately.

    The bounty notice was vague. It only said that she was a 19-year-old Chinese university student and had a rtively blurry photo attached. There was no other especially obvious information.

    However, Wei Zimu could still tell at a nce that the person they were looking for was Xia Yu.

    Yu Qian sat on the sofa and carefully stroked the ring in his hand. Suddenly, he looked at Wei Zimu. ¡°Brother, do you know this person?¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he met Yu Qian¡¯s gaze. His expression did not change as he nodded. ¡°Yes, I think he¡¯s a young master from a wealthy family in Beijing. He¡¯s probably lost.¡±

    ¡°A rich young master? What¡¯s his name?¡± Yu Qian did not know much about the forces in Beijing.

    ¡°I only know that his surname is Zheng. I don¡¯t remember his exact name. Why are you concerned about this? You don¡¯tck tens of millions.¡± Wei Zimu casually poured himself a ss of water, as if he really didn¡¯t know the person in the painting.

    Yu Qian did not ask further. He nced at Wei Zimu. ¡°How are your injuries?¡±

    Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°Thank you for your treatment. I¡¯m much better.¡±

    Wei Zimu had followed Old Madam Wei and had seen many people in the world. He had alsoe into contact with many top international medical experts.

    However, it was not until he saw Yu Qian¡¯s experiment method that he realized that Yu Qian¡¯s medical skills were so superb.

    ¡°When did you learn medicine?¡± Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian¡¯s exquisite hand and finally could not help but ask.

    ¡°Medicine?¡± Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. He raised his hands and examined them. ¡°I¡¯ve never studied medicine.¡±

    ¡°Then what did you learn?¡± Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s expression, Wei Zimu¡¯s heart turned cold. He felt that something was wrong.

    Yu Qian smiled, but the smile did not show in his eyes, making him look cold and heartless. ¡°Medicine is used to save people. My hands are not used to save people, but to kill people.¡±

    Back then, he had learned medicine because Old K had gotten someone to teach him.

    The reason why he taught him medicine was not to save him, but to watch him endure the pain and treat himself after being poisoned.

    Furthermore, Old K often got people to shoot him and treat him as a live target.

    After that, he got someone to send himplete surgical equipment and send him to the operating theater to watch him operate on himself.

    He was happy to do it.

    Over time, Yu Qian naturally cultivated good medical skills.

    ]Seeing that Yu Qian was getting quieter and that his aura was starting to change, Wei Zimu sighed. ¡°I won¡¯t ask anymore. Is there anything you need me to do? I¡¯ve been lying here for so long. It¡¯s time to move my body.¡±

    Yu Qian pondered for a moment and raised the bounty in his hand. ¡°Why don¡¯t you help me earn thirty million first?¡±

    Wei Zimu was stunned. He looked at Yu Qian¡¯s eyes and thought about Yu Qian¡¯s intentions.

    <i>Yu Qian did notck money at all. Then, did he ask me to do this mission to test me? Could it be that Yu Qian recognized that the person in the painting was Xia Yu??</i>

    Thousands of thoughts shed through Wei Zimu¡¯s mind, but it was only for a moment. Wei Zimu returned to his normal expression and nodded. ¡°Okay, when am I leaving?¡±

    ¡°Now.¡±

    As Yu Qian spoke, he waved outside. Jayce quickly walked in. ¡°Boss, what are your orders?¡±

    Yu Qian pointed at Wei Zimu. ¡°Send him out and let him find someone. You cane back after sending him off.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Over the past few days, Jayce had understood that Yu Qian was ruthless to everyone, but he still had some patience for Wei Zimu.

    Perhaps Yu Qian really treated Wei Zimu as his biological brother. After Jayce realized this, he no longer dared to casually order Wei Zimu around. In fact, his words were very respectful.

    Watching Jayce and Wei Zimu leave, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes.

    He lowered his head and nced at the bounty in his hand. ¡°Xia Yu? Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    In the room, Yu Qian fell silent after saying these words, as if nothing had happened.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan rested for a while. The next morning, she still felt a little uneasy. Jun Shiling chatted with her for a while before a smile appeared on her face again.

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s inauguration ceremony was imminent. At this moment, the upper echelons of China had fallen into a tense situation.

 Chapter 1162 - Baby

    <h4>Chapter 1162: Baby</h4>

    The Mu family.

    Zhang Yi leaned on Mu Ting and felt an indescribable uneasiness. ¡°Hubby, why hasn¡¯t Mu Feng done anything after Wei Jin disappeared?¡±

    <i>It was too strange. </i>

    Looking at how close Wei Jin and Mu Feng were in the past, Mu Feng did not look like he had abandoned Wei Jin.

    However, from the looks of it, Mu Feng seemed to be fine. Not only did he not look for Wei Jin, but he also did not return to the Mu family to criticize them.

    !!

    He ate well and recuperated every day. He looked so good. Those who did not know would not even think that he had just lost his wife, they would only think that he was blessed with good news.

    Even Zhang Yi felt that Mu Feng might have been fake to Wei Jin in the past and actually had no feelings for her.

    Mu Ting frowned and pushed Zhang Yi away. ¡°Why do you care so much? Don¡¯t you know what your current mission is? What you have to do now is to give birth to a son for me immediately. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else.¡±

    Hearing this, Zhang Yi was a little unhappy. ¡°Can I give birth just because I want to? Didn¡¯t the doctor say that I¡¯m old and my health isn¡¯t good? The possibility of me giving birth is rtively low.¡±

    Mu Ting nced at Zhang Yi. ¡°Then why did I marry you?¡±

    Zhang Yi was also angry. ¡°Then go marry someone else.¡±

    Mu Ting stood up and nced at Zhang Yi. ¡°It¡¯s not realistic to marry someone else, but I have other thoughts.¡±

    Zhang Yi had a bad feeling. ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Since you can¡¯t give birth, let¡¯s get someone else. They¡¯re my children anyway.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Yi could object, Mu Ting stopped her. ¡°Stop being unreasonable here. Either you get lost, or you be the child¡¯s mother in name. The future wealth is still yours. Choose for yourself.¡±

    Over the past few days, the frequent disappointments had already made Mu Ting lose his patience.

    He was already very old. If he could not nurture a son of his own, Mu Feng would definitely take advantage of him when he let go of the Mu family¡¯s assets.

    Zhang Yi bit the soft meat in her mouth until the smell of blood seeped out. In the end, she could only nod. ¡°You win.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Mu Ting flicked his sleeves and left.

    After Mu Ting left, Wang Ya, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, walked forward. ¡°Mother.¡±

    Zhang Yi nced at Wang Ya. ¡°I regret it. I shouldn¡¯t have divorced your father back then. I thought that marrying into the Mu family was marrying love, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be someone I don¡¯t know.¡±

    Wang Ya hugged Zhang Yi. ¡°Mother, I have an idea.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s strike first. Pretend to be pregnant and secretly find a woman to help give birth. When the timees, tell Uncle Mu that you gave birth yourself.¡±

    Wang Ya¡¯s words made Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes light up.

    Wang Ya was right. If Mu Ting were to find a substitute, then in Mu Ting¡¯s heart, this child had nothing to do with Zhang Yi. If outsiders knew, she would only be an adoptive mother.

    However, if she secretly found someone to give birth to the child, as long as no one knew, everyone would think that she had given birth to the child herself.

    There was a fundamental difference between the two.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yi nodded. ¡°Follow this. Help me find her.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Wang Ya nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mother. I¡¯ll definitely help you settle this.¡±

    After Wang Ya left the Mu family, she went straight to Su Yueran.

    In Wang Ya¡¯s social circle, Su Yueran was the person she thought had the most connections. Furthermore, Su Yueran was a very good person and could definitely help her.

    After hearing Wang Ya¡¯s exnation, Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Your idea is very good. To Madam Mu, the best solution to this matter is indeed to find someone to rece the production in private.¡±

    Wang Ya was a little embarrassed by Su Yueran¡¯s praise. She looked at Su Yueran shyly. ¡°Then, Sister Su, can you help me find someone in this area? I think your connections are much better than mine.¡±

    If an ordinary person went to such an organization that found surrogate mothers, they could easily get a phone number on the street. However, Zhang Yi¡¯s matter could only be kept a secret and not let Mu Ting discover anything.

    Wang Ya thought about it and could only look for the well-connected Su Yueran.

    A glint shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes. ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll contact you when I find her.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Wang Ya looked at Su Yueran in admiration. ¡°Sister Su, you¡¯re such a good person.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Wang Ya was about to say something to Su Yueran when her phone suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and listened for a while before hanging up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have a business event.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Sister Su, you¡¯re a big celebrity. I¡¯m the one who disturbed you.¡± Wang Ya hurriedly stood up and bade Su Yueran farewell.

    ¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± Su Yueran smiled and bade farewell to Wang Ya before leaving the cafe.

    Just as she reached the door, Su Yueran called back. ¡°Can¡¯t you reject it? I don¡¯t want to participate in these activities.¡±

    ¡°You can reject it.¡± The manager hesitated for a moment. ¡°However, Xia Wanyuan will attend the award ceremony this time. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to go?¡±

    As expected, Su Yueran changed her mind. She pondered for a moment. ¡°Alright,e and pick me up then.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The manager hung up and shook his head.

    In the past, Su Yueran was actually a rather indifferent person. She would participate in any business activities if she wanted to and would not go if she refused, no matter what.

    However, for some reason, Su Yueran seemed to care especially about Xia Wanyuan. As long as Xia Wanyuan participated in an event or acted in the same type of drama as her, Su Yueran would be like her.

    Even for advertisements, Su Yueran had epted the same type as Xia Wanyuan. The manager really could not understand. <i>Could this be aparison between beauties? </i>

    After leaving the cafe, Su Yueran went straight to the styling room and spent the entire day styling.

    On the manor¡¯s side, Xia Wanyuan had also received an invitation to the ceremony. However, in this award ceremony, not only did the organizers invite her, but they also invited Jun Shiling.

    When Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling, he had just finished a meeting.

    In front of his subordinates, Jun Shiling calmly pressed the answer button. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby?¡±

    The expressions of the employees did not change.

    However, in the hearts of the employees, their exmations were about to break through the clouds!!<i> Baby!! So the big shots were so clingy in love!!!</i>

    Jun Shiling nced at the employees. Everyone immediately packed their things and left the office in unison within three seconds.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the invitation card in her hand. ¡°Are you free tonight?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m originally not.¡±

    ¡°And now?¡±

    ¡°After you asked this question, I¡¯m free.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone had a smile. ¡°What do you need me to do tonight? I¡¯m happy to help.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a ceremony I need to attend. Are youing?¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Jun Shiling agreed. ¡°Then I¡¯lle back and pick you up at six.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and hung up.

    In the meeting room, Jun Shiling looked at the phone that had been hung up, but his mood was not as good as before.

    The night had passed.

    There was still no good news from Continent F. Even though the Chu family had already mobilized arge number of people to help search, they did not find any traces of Xia Yu.

    At the foot of a mountain in Continent F, the ck cloth on Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes was removed.

    After walking for nearly a day with his eyes blindfolded, Wei Zimu suddenly saw the sunlight and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

    However, it had been too long since he had breathed the air on the ground, and it had been too long since he had seen such a clear sky. Although the sunlight was dazzling, Wei Zimu still tried his best to open his eyes.

    ¡°Alright, Young Master Wei, I¡¯ll send you here.¡± Jayce handed a gun to Wei Zimu. ¡°I¡¯ll leave these people to you. Our forces in Continent F know you. Take the token and look for them. They¡¯ll listen to you.¡±

    Along with the gun was a unique information identification chip that could represent Wei Zimu¡¯s identity.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Wei Zimu took the things. ¡°Go back.¡±

    Jayce nodded and turned to board the ne.

    Soon, the ne took off and disappeared into the vast sky.

    Wei Zimu took a few steps forward and breathed in the rare fresh air. A hint of rity shed across his eyes.

    He stood rooted to the ground, thinking about something. After a while, Wei Zimu finally gave his subordinates an order. ¡°Follow me to the nearest base.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    An SUV quickly stopped in front of Wei Zimu and brought everyone away.

    The moment Jayce got on the ne, he called Yu Qian. ¡°Boss, Wei Zimu has returned to the ground. I¡¯m rushing back.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Yu Qian fiddled with the test tube in his hand, making a tinkling sound. ¡°Send someone to keep an eye on him.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Also.¡± Yu Qian suddenly thought of something. ¡°There have been changes in China recently. Get someone to contact them. Don¡¯t let the changes in China affect our matters.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Only then did Yu Qian hang up. He threw his phone aside and carefully observed the colorful reagent in the test tube.

    Light leaked out of the window and shone on Yu Qian¡¯s face, making his gloomy side profile even paler.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, as long as there was news that there was an award ceremony in the entertainment industry and which guests would participate, it would spread everywhere.

    Although it was not yet night, the news that Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran would attend the ¡°Weibo¡¯s annual poprity award ceremony¡± had already spread on Weibo.

    [I can already feel the arrival of the Asura Arena and the baptism of my eyes. Ah, I can look at beauties again.]

    [ Why do I feel that Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan are so fated? Why do they always have activities together?? Does Su Yueran insist on following Xia Wanyuan, or does Xia Wanyuan insist on following Su Yueran? ]

    [Why do you care so much about beauties? As long as they¡¯re beautiful, it¡¯s fine.]

    Although the passers-by had the mentality of watching beauties, to the fans, every ceremony was a battle.

    Su Yueran¡¯s fans felt that Xia Wanyuan was too high-profile, while Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans felt that Su Yueran was too b*tchy.

    Neither family was convinced by the other. Before the ceremony began, the two families had already begun to fight openly and secretly.

    As one of thergest news agencies in China, Weibo naturally held a very grand event and invited arge number of celebrities to participate.

    Other than Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran, every year¡¯s top celebrities, newbies, and many Best Actors and Best Actresses were invited.

    An Rao was originally invited too, but it was inconvenient for her now. She could only hug herputer at home and sigh. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. If not for you, I could have worn a beautiful gown and be on a show with Yuan Yuan today.¡±

    Bo Xiao nced at her. ¡°Is it my problem? Who said it wasfortable?¡±

    Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, An Rao threw a pillow at him and gagged him. ¡°You hooligan, shut up!¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled slyly. ¡°Tsk, throwing me away after using me. Women.¡±

    An Rao bared her fangs and brandished her ws, wanting to pounce on Bo Xiao. However, her stomach was too big. In the end, she could only barely wave her limbs and could not pose any threat.

    Bo Xiao took the initiative to sit over and kiss An Rao. ¡°After you give birth, wear whatever you want, okay?¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± An Rao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Then I want to wear a tube top and suspenders.¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Bo Xiao knocked An Rao¡¯s forehead. ¡°Dream on.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, stingy.¡± An Rao was furious.<i> He doesn¡¯t even let me wear suspenders. </i>

    Bo Xiao picked An Rao up and hugged her. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    An Rao was coaxed into obedience uselessly. She rubbed against Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°After I give birth, I want to go out and y. I want to pick shells by the beach and eat seafood, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Bo Xiao agreed.

    ¡°I also want to go to Tibet. Thest time I watched a video, I saw that theke over there was so beautiful.¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with yearning.

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao gently, his eyes filled with love. ¡°You can go anywhere you want. I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    ¡°Hehe ~¡± An Rao turned around and saw the love in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. Her heart warmed. She opened her arms and hugged Bo Xiao tightly. ¡°I like you the most.¡±

    Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s hair and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re so silly all day. If I hadn¡¯t picked you up, you would have been deceived somewhere.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao snorted proudly. ¡°You make it sound like I wasn¡¯t deceived by you.¡±

    However, although she said that, An Rao¡¯s heart was warm. Although Bo Xiao always teased her, she knew that Bo Xiao was the person who treated her the best in the world.

    However, no one realized that inside Bo Xiao¡¯s body, a small molecule that could not even be observed with a microbiological magnifying ss was being transmitted bit by bit to his heart through Bo Xiao¡¯s blood and it set up a camp there.

 Chapter 1163 - An Unknown Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 1163: An Unknown Banquet</h4>

    An Rao was coaxed into obedience by Bo Xiao. In the end, she happily called Xia Wanyuan.

    The moment the call connected, An Rao was charmed by Xia Wanyuan in the video.

    Xia Wanyuan rarely put on makeup. Although she was extremely beautiful, it was different from the beauty after careful makeup.

    She usually had light makeup on. After changing into a gown and putting on makeup, she was intensely elegant.

    ¡°Sister! You¡¯re too beautiful!¡± An Rao was so excited that her eyes were sparkling. ¡°Boohoo, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡±

    !!

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°How are you feeling today?¡±

    An Rao nodded. ¡°Everything tastes good. The only bad thing is that Bo Xiao doesn¡¯t give me crayfish. That¡¯s too much.¡±

    Bo Xiao nced at her from the side. ¡°What crayfish? The doctor already told you to eat less of these things.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± An Rao snorted softly, still looking at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, I miss you so much. Why are you getting prettier?¡±

    ¡°Eat fewer crayfish. I¡¯ll visit you when I¡¯m done.¡±

    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± The crayfish that the doctor and Bo Xiao could not stop was stopped by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s casual words. ¡°Sister, when are you walking the red carpet?¡±

    ¡°Seven o¡¯clock.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll definitely watch it on time. You must press that Su Yueran to the ground and rub her.¡± At the mention of Su Yueran, An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred. ¡°That Su Yueran, why is she pretending to be a white lotus? I think she has bad intentions.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Alright, all the best. I¡¯ll go eat first and wait to watch you!¡± An Rao waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, bye.¡± After hanging up, the smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes did not dissipate.

    She looked up and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s bitter gaze. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dress. ¡°Are you going to the ceremony dressed like this?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at her gown.<i> It was not V-shaped, nor was it strapless, nor was there arge area of exposed flesh. Why couldn¡¯t I wear it? Wasn¡¯t this the most normal style? </i>

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling looked away.

    At home, Xia Wanyuan was always used to wearing loose home clothes. In addition, it was still spring, so Xia Wanyuan always wore sweaters and coats when she went out.

    Now that she was suddenly wearing a tight-fitting evening gown, her temperament was different from usual. Her perfect figure was naturallypletely revealed by the gown.

    Jun Shiling was both passionate and unhappy.

    He only wanted to see it himself and did not want others to see such a beautiful Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew what he was thinking. Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling¡¯s leg angrily. ¡°Annoying, can¡¯t I wear something better? Must I wrap myself in a sack for you to be happy?¡±

    Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ankle. She was wearing a pair of crystal shoes filled with diamonds today. Her already slender and small feet were even more exquisite by the shoes.

    A me ignited in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to pull her foot back, but Jun Shiling grabbed it tightly. Her face was dyed pink. ¡°We¡¯re almost at the ceremony. Can you be more serious?¡±

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Got it.¡±

    Although he said that, Jun Shiling did not let go of Xia Wanyuan. Instead, he pulled her closer, his eyes filled with passion. ¡°Why are you always so good-looking?¡±

    It was as if he could never see enough of her.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and took the initiative to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°Even if I look good, I¡¯m yours. Don¡¯t be jealous, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s anger rose quickly, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words dissipated it quickly.

    At the ceremony venue.

    Countless cameras had been set up, and the reporters were ready to go, waiting for the celebrities to arrive.

    The audience in the live-stream were already prepared and waiting for their idol to appear.

    In the studio, Su Yueran had been styling for the entire day. She was glowing from the inside out.

    ¡°Aiyo, my little ancestor, you¡¯re too good-looking today.¡± The manager looked at Su Yueran¡¯s appearance. ¡°Beautiful! You¡¯ll definitely be able to suppress the crowd this time.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled and put on the expensive gem bracelet on the dressing table. ¡°Is everything ready?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re definitely the main character tonight!¡±

    Even if Xia Wanyuan had Jun Shiling by her side, the absolute protagonist tonight would definitely be Su Yueran.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Su Yueran nodded. The gem on her earlobe quietly emitted a lustrous luster under the light.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Glory World Corporation, Feng Wuyou moved a chair and sat beside Xuan Sheng. ¡°Are you really not going with me?¡±

    Xuan Sheng almosty on the chair, his eyes filled with helplessness. ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ve already gotten someone to arrange it for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Old Xuan.¡± Feng Wuyou stood up happily. ¡°Do you need me to take photos of you? I¡¯m very good at it. I¡¯ll take many photos of Xia Wanyuan for you!¡±

    Xuan Sheng was silent for a moment, and he looked a little sad. The smile on Feng Wuyou¡¯s face instantly disappeared. She looked at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Xuan Sheng shook his head. ¡°Go ahead. You don¡¯t have to take photos of me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Only then did Feng Wuyou pick up her bag and walk out of the office.

    When she closed the door, Feng Wuyou nced at Xuan Sheng in the room. He sat on the chair with a miserable expression, revealing an extreme loneliness that made Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart ache.

    She had always heard that Xuan Sheng liked Xia Wanyuan.

    Over the past few days, Feng Wuyou had not been able to tell how deeply Xuan Sheng loved Xia Wanyuan.

    It was only at this moment, looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s lonely figure in the spacious office, that Feng Wuyou realized that Xuan Sheng actually liked Xia Wanyuan so much.

    He must be very sad, especially in such a public venue.

    Xia Wanyuan would hold another man¡¯s hand and show off their love in public, but Xuan Sheng did not even have the right to look at her.

    The door closed, and Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes were filled with sadness.

    She wanted to bring Xuan Sheng something delicious to make him happy when she returnedter.

    Not long after Feng Wuyou left, Xuan Sheng stood up and left the office.

    He made a call and his assistant, Xiao Wang, answered quickly. ¡°CEO Xuan.¡±

    ¡°Are you ready?¡±

    Xiao Wang nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared a seat for you. You cane in ten minutes after the opening.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng hung up.

    Xiao Wang looked at the corner of the venue, the ce where even the light could not shine, and his heart ached.

    In fact, every time Xia Wanyuan participated in an event, Xuan Sheng would be present.

    Whether it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Best Actress Award, the Spring Festival G, or Xia Wanyuan¡¯s variety concert, Xuan Sheng had been to every one of them.

    However, every time, Xuan Sheng would wait ten minutes after the opening before secretly sitting in the corner of thest row to watch.

    Then, ten minutes before it ended, Xuan Sheng would leave.

    It was as if he was always attending a banquet that no one knew about.

    Xiao Wang sighed.

    Although Lu Li was very good, he could tell that Xuan Sheng did not hate Lu Li and even had a good impression of this innocent and cute little girl.

    However, a good impression was still a good impression.

    Xia Wanyuan had already be the hope and light engraved in Xuan Sheng¡¯s bones. No one could rece her.

    In front of the auditorium, the red carpet had already begun. As familiar celebrities walked past the red carpet, the discussion on Weibo about this grand ceremony was extremely enthusiastic.

    In the car, looking at the bustling scene, an inexplicable light shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes. ¡°What do you think is good about Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be asking her manager. The manager was a little stunned by this question and did not know how to answer.

    Recently, she could really tell that Su Yueran seemed to have a hard time with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Uh, she¡¯s lucky,¡± the manager replied after some consideration. ¡°Look at how she was nothing two years ago. She was lucky to meet Jun Shiling, so she¡¯s living a glorious life now.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled as if she agreed with her manager. ¡°Indeed, her luck is indeed very good.¡±

    At that moment, Su Yueran¡¯s phone rang. Su Yueran took a look and resisted. However, she quickly hid her expression.

    Half of the message hidden by her sleeve was revealed. It said, ¡°If you don¡¯t seed, get back here.¡±

    At that moment, the car had already arrived at the red carpet area. Su Yueran hid the suppressed emotions in her eyes and deleted the message. Then, she handed her phone to her manager and tidied her hair before getting out of the car elegantly.

    Countless shes and cheers instantly surged towards Su Yueran. She smiled and greeted everyone.

    Su Yueran was wearing a stunning dress from the Heart of the Sea. The huge dress was filled with shiny diamonds and had been carefully styled for the entire day.

    The current Su Yueran had her own unique beauty.

    Whether it was the venue or the live-stream, everyone was praising her crazily.

    Su Yueran walked leisurely onto the red carpet.

    When she reached the end of the red carpet, she suddenly heard a louder scream behind her. Su Yueran turned around and saw a familiar ck Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.

    A tall and slender figure walked out of the car. Even from so far away, one could feel his aura that suppressed everyone.

    The figure got out of the car but did not leave immediately. Instead, he ced his hand in front of him and brought Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

    From Su Yueran, she could see that Xia Wanyuan was not wearing any especially eye-catching gown. She was even wearing very little jewelry, except for a thin diamond ne on her neck.

    But even so, Xia Wanyuan was still unbelievably beautiful.

    It was still that extremely special beauty that could make people notice her in the crowd.

    Jun Shiling walked beside her and was carefully holding her waist, as if she was some fragile ss.

    Su Yueran had always been extremely calm, but at this moment, she could barely manage her basic expression. Jealousy shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes.

    The nails she had meticulously made for the entire day were almost broken by her.

    The mes in Su Yueran¡¯s heart were not only because of Jun Shiling.

    There were many outstanding men. Su Yueran was not an infatuated person. She liked Jun Shiling, but this love was not enough to make her lose control.

    What made her lose control was the light on Xia Wanyuan that had everyone¡¯s sincere love.

    It was as if at this moment, even though she was the most well-dressed person present, the person everyone truly liked was Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was protected in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms like a world treasure.

    She could even feel it.

    When she entered just now, the fans¡¯ cheers were mostly because of her gorgeous appearance and beautiful face.

    However, at this moment, the fans looked at Xia Wanyuan with true love and appreciation. That distance waspletely different.

    Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Xia Wanyuan was good-looking. A group of fashion bloggers had long been waiting in front of the television to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fashionbination and guess the fashion trends of the next quarter.

    However, when Xia Wanyuan really appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with helplessness.

    <i>CEO Jun, aren¡¯t you going a little too far? Xia Wanyuan was already wearing a lot, and Jun Shiling had even wrapped her in a suit jacket, making it impossible to see her at all.</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m speechless. All the fashion bloggers in the entertainment industry are waiting for Xia Wanyuan to appear, but what they¡¯re waiting for is a person wrapped in a suit. CEO Jun, you¡¯re too much.¡±

    [Hahahahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. Everyone is waiting to see a beauty. CEO Jun hid the beauty very domineeringly.]

    [ This is probably the trouble of having a peerless beauty. This is the reason why I don¡¯t marry Xia Wanyuan. See? If I marry Xia Wanyuan, I will definitely be afraid every day. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t marry her. ]

    [The person in front, can you dream less? Is that a problem of you not wanting to marry her? Why don¡¯t you see if you can marry her?]

    With Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s entrance, the atmosphere in the entire venue and live-stream became lively.

    In the hall, as everyone sat down, the lights gradually dimmed. Only the stage was still lit.

    At this moment, a figure walked in from the back door of the hall.

    Xiao Wang waved at Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, here.¡±

    Xuan Sheng walked over and sat in the corner.

    Looking up, he happened to see Jun Shiling helping Xia Wanyuan lift her skirt. Xia Wanyuan smiled at him, and his heart ached.

    Xiao Wang, a straight man, could not bear to look at Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression. He handed a bottle of water to Xuan Sheng, wanting to divert his attention, but Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze never left Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°She¡¯s very beautiful today too,¡± Xuan Sheng muttered to himself.

    Xiao Wang¡¯s heart ached. ¡°CEO Xuan.¡±

    ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to say anything else. Go out first. I¡¯ll call you when I leave.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Xuan Sheng swallowed his saliva. He knew what Little Wang wanted to say.

    He also knew that there was no saving him.

    But that was it. He did not need any medicine or anyone to know.

    It was enough as long as he could see her from afar.

 Chapter 1164 - CEO Junâ€™s Public Confession

    <h4>Chapter 1164: CEO Jun¡¯s Public Confession</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    In the hall, the ceremony was about to begin. After the host finished reading the speech, the awards began to be given out.

    Since it was a ceremony hosted by Weibo, it was mostly rted to the content of Weibo.

    All sorts of data kept shing on the big screen.

    ]In the middle of the first row, Xia Wanyuan secretly scratched Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°It¡¯s hot.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her, took out a small fan from his pocket, and gently fanned Xia Wanyuan.

    Although Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling would definitely not relent easily, she did not expect him to do this.

    Helplessness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? How can you fan me in the spring?¡±

    Jun Shiling fanned her as he said leisurely, ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares to say that I have a problem.¡±

    As one of the important shareholders of Weibo, no one dared to have any objections to Jun Shiling here.

    Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling helplessly. Jun Shiling leaned forward, and Xia Wanyuan secretly whispered in his ear, ¡°Petty.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I think there are quite a lot of beauties over there. Can I go over and sit for a whileter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°No.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s smile widened. ¡°One may steal a horse while another may not look over a hedge.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and turned away.

    At that moment, on the big screen, the camera had already switched from the guest presenter to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone ate the dog food silently and wiped their bitter tears.

    <i>They were just here to attend a ceremony. Why did they have to give us such a blow??</i>

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. The expressions of those guests just now were simply, hahahaha, I feel that they were hurt.]

    [ They¡¯re not the only ones who are hurt. I¡¯m also hurt. CEO Jun is too handsome¡­ Is this a domineering CEO who walked out of a novel? I¡¯m convinced. It¡¯s the pinnacle of Nuwa¡¯s showmanship. ]

    [I can already see CEO Jun¡¯s status at home. He¡¯s definitely the kind that Xia Wanyuan can say one and CEO Jun can¡¯t say two. CEO Jun is still the miserable one.]

    [The person in front, CEO Jun¡¯s happiness is something you can¡¯t imagine. You think he¡¯s miserable, but he thinks this is happiness. A bachelor like you can¡¯t understand.]

    Seeing that everyone¡¯s gazes were on her, or because of her interaction with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed. She sat up straight and ignored Jun Shiling, as if she was not familiar with him.

    ¡°¡­¡± How could Jun Shiling dare to say anything? He did not dare to say anything and could only silently act as a fan.

    On stage, halfway through the ceremony, the organizers suddenly came up with an impromptu program.

    The host carried a box onto the stage.

    ¡°Everyone must be tired after sitting for so long, right? Why don¡¯t we entertain ourselves? This box contains everyone¡¯s branded numbers. I¡¯ll randomly pick two ande up to perform for everyone, okay?¡±

    This fun segment naturally caused the audience to cheer, and the guests present agreed very much.

    The host chuckled and reached in to take out two notes. When he saw the name on the note, his eyes lit up.

    ¡°Hey! I drew two beauties. What kind of luck do I have today? These two beauties are definitely what everyone wants to see!¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, enthusiastic cheers sounded. Everyone had already guessed it.

    The host unfolded the note and the camera showed the note. There were clearly two names on it.

    Su Yueran, Xia Wanyuan.

    [Ahhh, the battle of the kings is here. Is the host¡¯s hand blessed? What level of Asura Field is this!]

    [ Singing!!! I don¡¯t expect a hot dance. If it¡¯s a hot dance, CEO Jun will probably buy the entire venue and cut the live broadcast. ]

    [ Su Yueran¡¯s singing is especially good. I remember that her previous album was also the champion of sales. Unfortunately, Xia Wanyuan appearedter, and her record of being the champion of sales was broken. ]

    In the hall, everyone¡¯s eyes wereplicated.

    In the entertainment industry, how could everyone not tell what was going on between Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran?

    The two of them had minded their own business, so it was over.

    Now, the organizers had gotten the two of them to perform together. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like the organizers were deliberately causing trouble.

    In the venue, the fans had already begun to shout Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran¡¯s names. The host also began to invite the two of them to go on stage.

    Xia Wanyuan was not averse to performances. She just did not like Su Yueran.

    Su Yueran looked elegant and gentle, but she gave Xia Wanyuan an ufortable feeling, as if she was always living with a mask on.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and turned to look at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling naturally understood what she meant. He raised an eyebrow at Xia Wanyuan, his meaning obvious. ¡°If you want me to help you, fine. Give me benefits.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling slightly, but in the end, she nodded and agreed.

    Jun Shiling suppressed the smile on his lips. After the host shouted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name again, Jun Shiling stood up.

    Jun Shiling was not only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband, but also the richest man and an important shareholder of Weibo.

    He, who was already the center of attention, stood up. Everyone fell silent and looked at the tall and handsome figure in a daze.

    <i>What was Jun Shiling doing?</i>

    Jun Shiling reached out to the staff at the side. The staff immediately handed the microphone to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling held the microphone and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam and I rarely appear in public together. How about this? I¡¯ll do today¡¯s program.¡±

    As soon as Jun Shiling finished speaking, the room was in an uproar. The audience in front of the television was even more shocked.

    [ F*ck, is that what I understand??!! In my lifetime!! It¡¯s hard to imagine what show CEO Jun will perform ]

    [I¡¯m shocked!! How can I see the richest man in the world perform for me? I¡¯m dumbfounded.]

    [ The person in front, can you recognize the truth? CEO Jun¡¯s performance is definitely for Xia Wanyuan. What has it got to do with you? Please find a mirror to look at yourself. ]

    Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan, who everyone had been looking forward to, had been forgotten after Jun Shiling said this.

    What a joke. Although Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran¡¯s programs were rare, they were still in the entertainment industry. There would be plenty of chances to see their programs in the future.

    Jun Shiling was different. Not to mention the program, it was difficult for him to even appear.

    For a moment, everyone forgot that Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan were going to perform together.

    Xia Wanyuan was also a little stunned. She did not expect Jun Shiling to do this.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and turned to walk onto the stage.

    As the most outstanding sessor of the Jun Corporation, although Jun Shiling rarely revealed his talent to outsiders, be it the piano or the violin, Jun Shiling had reached an almost professional level.

    At this moment, the lights gradually dimmed. In the middle of the stage, a piano was carried up.

    Jun Shiling tidied his clothes and sat in front of the piano.

    Jun Shiling would usually sing to Xia Wanyuan to make her happy.

    However, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen Jun Shiling sitting in front of the piano so formally and singing. It was apletely different feeling.

    The light shone gently on Jun Shiling¡¯s face.

    His handsome face was as clear as the most exquisite carving. The organizer specially ced the piano facing Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling looked up and his gazended on Xia Wanyuan.

    The entire hall was silent. As the piano sounded, Jun Shiling spoke.

    ¡°The warm wind blows like a gentle monologue

    secretly recorded by the night

    Put down your posture and every word is love.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was low and maic to begin with. With the tune and slow piano music, even if the song was not sung for them, the audience could feel the endless love.

    In the entire hall, it was as if only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were left under the light.

    He hummed quietly, his gazending on Xia Wanyuan, as if telling her,

    <i>I know you¡¯ve worked hard, and I know you¡¯ve experienced a lot.</i>

    <i>Everything is over now. You have me in the future.?</i>

    ¡°And the sea boiled.

    I¡¯ve hidden you and I can¡¯t separate from you.

    daily infiltration of thoughts and bloodlines

    Almost no one can detect your presence.

    Love diving into a deep blue sea

    I swayed in the depths of my heart¡­¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling on the stage, warmth surged in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Actually, in her daily life, Jun Shiling was already enough to take care of her.

    However, at many specific moments, Jun Shiling would still try his best to satisfy Xia Wanyuan¡¯s maiden heart and make up for everything she had never experienced.

    She thought of the reason why Jun Shiling suddenly performed.

    Last week, Xia Wanyuan was watching television at home. In the movie, the male and female protagonists were still high school students.

    At a school anniversary, the male lead yed and sang a song to the female lead.

    Seeing this scene, Xia Wanyuan sighed. ¡°It¡¯s so good to be young.¡±

    At that time, Jun Shiling did not speak and only looked up at Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling¡¯s song was probably to make up for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s regret.

    At the end of the song, the entire hall was silent.

    Until the lights lit up and apuse sounded. On the right of the first row, Su Yueran gritted her teeth.

    [F*ck!! Can I still live? Who can tell me why a domineering CEO can y the piano and sing? The key is that he looks so good. Can I still live? Compared to him, I¡¯m like trash.]

    [ Am I the only one who cried from listening? Boohoo, I¡¯ll always believe that eternal true love exists in this world. I¡¯m just not lucky enough to meet such a person. ]

    [Amazing, really. The way Jun Shiling is sitting in front of the piano in a suit makes me want to be pressed in front of the piano like this and that. Forget it, I¡¯ll beat myself up to sober up first.]

    In the hall, Jun Shiling walked down the stage and stood in front of Xia Wanyuan. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. ¡°Why are you crying?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were red and she did not speak.

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan and held her hand. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded and smiled at Jun Shiling.

    The straight male host cried when he heard this backstage. He did not know why.

    Perhaps because he had seen too much scheming and famepetition in the entertainment industry, yet he suddenly encountered such a sincere confession and sighed.

    In the past, the host was also such a passionate and affectionate youth. However, at some point in time, he threw away this passion and could not find it again.

    The host wiped his tears and walked onto the stage. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun, for letting us feel the warmth of sincere love. Next, we are going to award the most eye-catching award today. That will be our annual poprity award.¡±

    As soon as the supporter finished speaking, the big screen began to yst year¡¯s meager major events.

    Even though everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan was very popr, they could not help but admire her from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the real data.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity could be considered outstanding.

    In the various poprity charts calcted by Weibo, Xia Wanyuan was flying high in the sky like a kite. As for the others, they had to scroll down a long way to see the exact number.

    There was no need to question who the king of poprity on Weibo was.

    Amidst everyone¡¯s cheers, Xia Wanyuan stood up and went up to receive the award.

    Holding the heavy trophy in her hand, Xia Wanyuan sighed.

    ¡°Last year was the biggest change in my life.¡±

    During the past year, she hade from a thousand years ago to a thousand yearster. She had met Jun Shiling and identally entered the entertainment industry. This was an industry she had never stepped into.

    Everything she had experienced was brand new.

    Although there were many things she was not used to, overall, she was very satisfied with her life aftering to the modern world.

    ¡°Thank you for your support.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not have much to say. She thanked them briefly and was about to walk off the stage with the trophy when the host stopped her.

    ¡°Wanyuan, don¡¯t go. We still have an award waiting for you. Look at how inconvenient it is for you to walk up and down in high heels. Why don¡¯t you take it together before going down?¡±

    With that, the Annual Most Commercial Value Award appeared on the big screen.

    ording to the statistics on Weibo,st year,

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s traffic ie, painting and calligraphy advertising ie, live-stream expenses, and so on on Weibo alone exceeded 300 million.

    It could be said to be a gold-digger on Weibo.

    Everyone looked enviously at the three hundred million yuan on the screen and the trophy Xia Wanyuan had taken away.

    ¡°The next award is more meaningful.¡± After Xia Wanyuan walked off the stage, the host began to announce ording to the procedures. ¡°The next award is Weibo¡¯s annual public service award.¡±

    When this award was released, everyone¡¯s gazes gathered on Xia Wanyuan.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was the richest, and she had just won the mostmercial award. Just on Weibo, she could earn 300 million yuan. Many people¡¯s total ie could notpare to her.

    <h4>Chapter 1165: Fallen</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, the ount that appeared on the big screen showed ¡°Su Yueran¡±.

    As could be seen from the video,

    Su Yueran¡¯s studio and fan club had jointly raised and donated more than 30 million yuanst year.

    The charity areas involved included education, medicine, and other aspects.

    Su Yueran even personally went to the various mountains tofort the poor.

    In the photo, Su Yueran was chatting happily with everyone, as if she did not mind that these people were covered in mud.

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Su Yueran walked onto the stage and took the trophy from the host.

    She looked at the camera and smiled.

    ¡°Thank you for giving me this award. Actually, I only did what I should do. As a public figure, I can earn a lot of money myself. I can do what I can to help those who need help. I feel very honored. Thank you, everyone.¡±

    With that, Su Yueran took the trophy and left the stage.

    In front of the screen, Su Yueran¡¯s fans were naturally overjoyed. They were all happy for Su Yueran.

    [ Why do I feel that the organizers are causing trouble? They ced the annual public service expert behind the mostmercial value of the year. The key is that these two award winners weren¡¯t the same person. It¡¯s so awkward. Furthermore, I feel that Su Yueran is insinuating at Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ Oh my, the fans of Xia Wanyuan, the one with the highestmercial value, have their pride poked, right? They brag about how much your master has contributed to society every day. From the looks of it, she¡¯s nothing much. She earned so much money, but in the end, she refused to do charity. Tsk, tsk, tsk. ]

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. Who asked Xia Wanyuan to be a teacher? Aren¡¯t teachers just good at talking? The team also knows how to market. They didn¡¯t do anything, but in the end, they became the number one positive person. I¡¯m dying ofughter.]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans naturally could not stand Su Yueran¡¯s fans¡¯ mockery. The originally lively live-stream became chaotic again because of the fans¡¯ attacks.

    When the award ceremony was about to end, Xuan Sheng stood up and quietly went out the back door. Xiao Wang drove and waited by the roadside early.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, where are you going today?¡± Xiao Wang started the car and turned to ask Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng spun the prayer beads. ¡°To the hospital.¡±

    He had been participating in all sorts of drinking sessions recently and had some problems with his stomach. It seemed to have gotten worse in the past two days. It was time to go to the hospital to take a look.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Wang¡¯s eyes were filled with understanding.

    It was always like this. Xuan Sheng would always torture himself to death. Then, after seeing Xia Wanyuan once, he would begin to lead a normal life.

    It was like charging.

    Every time the battery ran out, Xuan Sheng would secretly charge some electricity with Xia Wanyuan and revive with full health.

    Xiao Wang did not know if Xia Wanyuan¡¯s existence was good or bad for Xuan Sheng.

    In the hall, the ceremony finally ended. Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out. After taking two steps, he met Su Yueran.

    In the past, Su Yueran had always been very indifferent, but today, she made people feel that she was very different.

    She walked over and her gazended on Jun Shiling¡¯s tie. ¡°CEO Jun still likes to wear blue as usual.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan could react, Su Yueran walked away.

    Jun Shiling hurriedly looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ve never interacted with her at all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s tie and continued walking without a word.

    ¡°Baby, really. You won¡¯t believe her, right?¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan, wishing he could tell her his schedule from his birth until now.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°I know. Why are you so naggy?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with resentment. ¡°Why are you so fierce?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm in amusement. ¡°Let¡¯s go. What¡¯s wrong with being fierce to you?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°You were never fierce to me in the past.¡±

    <i>My wife had changed. She is not as warm as before.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan let go of his arm. ¡°Then go find someone who¡¯s not fierce. How about the one who said something about your tie just now?¡±

    Jun Shiling hurriedly pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and stuffed it into his pocket. ¡°I like fierce people. You can be fiercer to me.¡±

    The two of them left chatting andughing. In the car by the roadside, Su Yueran¡¯s eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred when she saw this scene.

    The manager coincidentally turned around and was shocked by Su Yueran¡¯s deep love.

    In her impression, she had never seen Su Yueran like this.

    ¡°Yueran, what¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡±

    Su Yueran closed her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±

    At this moment, her phone rang again. Su Yueran picked it up and took a look. It was the number from before again.

    Su Yueran pulled out the phone card and broke it. Then, she threw the phone aside andy on the chair to sleep.

    The manager watched this scene silently and was a little puzzled.

    <i>What was wrong with Su Yueran? Didn¡¯t she win quite a few awards just now? She didn¡¯t win any less than Xia Wanyuan. Why was she so angry?</i>

    The celebrities¡¯ cars left one by one. At the back door, Feng Wuyou looked into the distance while flipping through the photos on her phone.

    This was the first time she had attended such an award ceremony in the entertainment industry.

    To be honest, it was a little boring. Other than Xia Wanyuan being more beautiful, there was nothing else interesting.

    <i>Oh right, Jun Shiling¡¯s song was really not bad.</i>

    In Feng Wuyou¡¯s opinion, Jun Shiling¡¯s face was really terrifying. She did not know why Xia Wanyuan liked someone like Jun Shiling.

    However, after hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s song, Feng Wuyou understood a little.

    ¡°Wuyou.¡± Just as Feng Wuyou was letting his imagination run wild, Chu Yi was already standing in front of her.

    It was still the familiar clean outfit. The elegant appearance of wearing sses made Feng Wuyou blush.

    ¡°This shirt is quite beautiful.¡±

    Chu Yi was wearing a shirt that Feng Wuyou had bought for him yesterday. The style was already good, and with Chu Yi¡¯s face, he could go to the runway after cleaning up.

    ¡°Mm, you have good taste.¡± Chu Yi cooperated obediently.

    Looking at Chu Yi¡¯s bright sses, Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    She used to be puzzled by the socialite sister group¡¯s actions of keeping young hunks.

    But now, she had reallyprehended this joy!

    Who could resist the obedience of a handsome man? Not to mention a shirt, even Feng Wuyou wished she could give Chu Yi a shirt made of gold.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Feng Wuyou walked towards the parking lot.

    Unfortunately, she had been ying everywhere for the past few days and did not notice that the car had run out of gas.

    What should I do? I¡¯m out of gas.¡± Feng Wuyou nced at the disy.

    ¡°This ce isn¡¯t far from the house you rented for me. Why don¡¯t we go there first? The car you sent me is still in the garage over there,¡± Chu Yi suggested considerately.

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Feng Wuyou could only close the car door and walk out with Chu Yi.

    The temperature in spring was very suitable for a walk.

    Chu Yi and Feng Wuyou walked slowly. Feng Wuyou secretly nced at Chu Yi. His elegant side profile attracted her gaze like a ma.

    ¡°Chu Yi,¡± Feng Wuyou suddenly said.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chu Yi turned around and looked at Feng Wuyou with gentle eyes.

    ¡°Are you really with me because youck money?¡± Feng Wuyou had lived in America since she was young and had never been so open-minded about her lifestyle, so she was a little suspicious.?<i>How could a very orthodox person like Chu Yi be casually kept by someone because hecked money??</i>

    Thinking of this, Feng Wuyou felt even more disgusted.?<i>Could it be that no matter who it was, Chu Yi would agree to be a kept man?</i>

    Chu Yi stopped and took off his sses so that Feng Wuyou could see his eyes more clearly.

    He smiled and said, ¡°No, I just agreed because I thought you were interesting. I¡¯m not that short of money, but since you said so, I agreed.¡±

    The stone in Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart finally fell to the ground. She was visibly happy. ¡°Alright, although you don¡¯tck money, I still want to buy something for you. You¡¯re not allowed to reject me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi put on his sses and nodded.

    Feng Wuyou was happy and began to talk more. As she walked forward, she chatted with Chu Yi about the award ceremony just now. ¡°Let me tell you, Xia Wanyuan is really¡­¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Feng Wuyou suddenly stopped. Her heart was beating extremely fast, and she could not help but look down.

    Chu Yi¡¯s hand had held her at some point in time. He had even separated her ten fingers and interlocked them with hers.

    Feng Wuyou blinked and blushed.

    Chu Yi, on the other hand, looked very normal. ¡°I checked online. Others said that this is the normal process. What¡¯s wrong? Did I do something wrong?¡±

    Feng Wuyou tried her best to calm down. She kept telling herself,?<i>Feng Wuyou, you¡¯re experienced! You¡¯re experienced! You can¡¯t let others see that you¡¯re nervous!</i>

    She held Chu Yi tightly and leaned into his arms. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You did the right thing. It was great.¡±

    However, her constantly trembling eyshes had already revealed her nervousness. Chu Yi smiled and ced his hand on Feng Wuyou¡¯s waist. As expected, he felt Feng Wuyou¡¯s stiffness.

    ¡°What did you just say about Xia Wanyuan?¡± Chu Yi smiled and found a topic to ease Feng Wuyou¡¯s awkwardness.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is very beautiful. Oh right, Jun Shiling sings quite well too.¡±

    ¡°I can sing too,¡± Chu Yi suddenly said, stunning Feng Wuyou.

    ¡°I¡¯ll sing for you.¡± Chu Yi held Feng Wuyou upright.

    Before Feng Wuyou could react, Chu Yi had already begun.

    He sang a song in an unknownnguage, but it was very pleasant. The gentle tune circled around Chu Yi¡¯s mouth.

    The temperature was suitable and the surroundings were very quiet. There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air. Chu Yi¡¯s singing was in her ears, and Chu Yi¡¯s smiling face was in front of her.

    If Feng Wuyou¡¯s interest in Chu Yi in the past few days came from his appearance and the excitement of jumping out of the control of the family,

    At that moment, Feng Wuyou felt the calmness that seeped out from the bottom of her heart, as well as a sweetness that could not be ignored.

    Looking into Chu Yi¡¯s eyes, Feng Wuyou blinked in a daze.

    <i>What should I do? I seem to have really fallen for Chu Yi. This man is even more handsome than I imagined.</i>

    Chu Yi had finished singing the song, but Feng Wuyou was still in a daze. Chu Yi smiled and snapped his fingers in front of Feng Wuyou. ¡°Come back to your senses.¡±

    Only then did Feng Wuyou react, and his ears turned red.

    Seeing Feng Wuyou¡¯s expression, the corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The two of them chatted andughed along the way. In Feng Wuyou¡¯s opinion, the originally long journey was actually over quickly.

    After returning to Chu Yi¡¯s house, Feng Wuyou nced at Chu Yi¡¯s garage. ¡°Where¡¯s your car?¡±

    Chu Yi nced upstairs and leaned closer to Feng Wuyou. ¡°The car has been sent for repair.¡±

    ¡°Then?¡± Feng Wuyou thought of something and her face suddenly flushed red.

    Chu Yi smiled. ¡°I swear I won¡¯t do anything to you. Why don¡¯t you stay here tonight?¡±

    Feng Wuyou was crazily conflicted in her heart.

    She was not worried that Chu Yi would do anything to her.

    What she was worried about was what if she was blinded by beauty and identally did something to Chu Yi?

    After struggling for a long time, Feng Wuyou decided to follow her heart. She said generously, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stay at your ce.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou stepped forward and said calmly, ¡°Lead the way.¡±

    Chu Yi suppressed the smile on his face and followed. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In a remote vige in Continent F, Stone carefully wiped Xia Yu¡¯s sweat. Not far away, Lin Yi sat with a tired expression.

    ¡°Sister Lin, why isn¡¯t Brother awake yet?¡± Stone looked at Xia Yu worriedly.

    A day ago, ever since Xia Yu finished talking to him, he hadpletely lost consciousness. He had also fallen into a high fever. His body alternated between hot and cold. No matter how Stone shouted, Xia Yu did not react.

    Seeing that Xia Yu¡¯s temperature was getting higher and higher, Xia Yu¡¯s pupils gradually dted. The stone was in despair.

    He cried loudly and kept praying to God and Buddha.

    It was unknown which immortal had finally appeared. Just as Xia Yu was on the verge of death, Lin Yi finally returned.

    Not only had she brought a box of water, but she had also found precious anti-inmmatory medicine in an abandoned city. The rebels had probably dropped it on the road when they moved.

    Lin Yi treated Xia Yu¡¯s wound again and gave him medicine. After a day and night, Xia Yu¡¯s temperature finally fell, and his expression began to look better than before, no longer filled with the color of death.

    Lin Yi walked over and nced at Xia Yu. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s recovering. It¡¯s probably not a big problem.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone wiped his tears and began to patiently wipe Xia Yu¡¯s face.

    ¡°I¡¯ll sleep for a while. Remember to call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± Lin Yi yawned. She was already extremely tired, and after returning and working on Xia Yu¡¯s surgery for a long time, Lin Yi was already exhausted.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone nodded obediently.

    Lin Yi grabbed a handful of grass and covered herself before quickly falling asleep.

    Stone helped Xia Yu wipe his face to cool down. After some time, he suddenly heard the sound of a ne flying past outside. Furthermore, the sound was getting closer and closer, until it seemed to havended in front of the house.

 Chapter 1166 - Caught

    <h4>Chapter 1166: Caught</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Stone secretly leaned against the door and took a look. Then, he saw that the people outside were holding guns.

    He hurriedly ran back to shake Lin Yi awake and pointed outside the door in a panic.

    Lin Yi carefully walked past and took a look, her expression solemn.

    Now that Xia Yu was injured and she and Stone did not have the slightest ability to fight, it would be over if they were caught.

    She wanted to slip out the back door with Stone, but from the crack of the back door, she saw arge group of people with guns walking over.

    <i>Oh no.</i>?Lin Yi¡¯s heart sank. She stuffed the stone into the abandoned water tank beside her. ¡°Remember, no matter what happenster, don¡¯t make a sound, understand?¡±

    Stone nodded.

    Lin Yi dragged Xia Yu up from the ground and stuffed him into the vat.

    Due to the intense friction, Xia Yu could not help but groan. Lin Yi hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

    Now, she did not care if she would hurt Xia Yu. She stuffed Xia Yu into the tank and covered him and Stone with a pile of weeds.

    Due to the intense pain, Xia Yu opened his eyes in a daze. Through the weeds, he could only see Lin Yi¡¯s extremely bright eyes.

    The footsteps outside the door were getting closer. Lin Yi cleaned the blood on the ground, then took out the medical box and sorted out the medicine inside.

    The door was mmed open and a group of armed Continent F people walked in.

    Seeing that it was a woman, their eyes lit up. They stepped forward excitedly, wanting to pull Lin Yi away.

    Lin Yi took out a scalpel and used a defensive posture. ¡°Don¡¯te over.¡±

    The soldiers were not afraid of the knife in Lin Yi¡¯s hand at all. They had been in the desert all year round and had never seen such a delicate woman. Now that they saw Lin Yi, they were like wolves seeing meat. Nothing could stop them.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± At this moment, a tall ck man walked in. He looked like the leader of this group.

    The soldiers chatted excitedly with him and looked at Lin Yi as if they wanted to eat him alive.

    The leader nced at Lin Yi, his attention attracted by the scalpel in her hand. He said in English, ¡°You¡¯re a doctor?¡±

    Lin Yi gripped the knife in her hand tightly and nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Take her away.¡± The leader gestured for his subordinates to take her away.

    As the soldiers walked towards her, they smiled maliciously. Some of them even touched Lin Yi¡¯s waist.

    Lin Yi pressed the scalpel to her throat. ¡°Guard your people well. If they dare to mess around, I¡¯ll die here immediately.¡±

    Lin Yi was confident in her words. Continent F was filled with war all year round, and doctors and medicine were the rarest things in every faction.

    Here, a doctor was more valuable than gold of the same size.

    The rarer it was, the more expensive it was. Only powerful ces could have their own medical staff.

    For example, this group of people did not dare to fall sick. If they fell sick, no one would treat them. A small cold might kill them.

    As expected, after Lin Yi finished speaking, the leader berated his subordinate and made an inviting gesture to Lin Yi.

    Lin Yi walked forward with the knife.

    Behind her, the leader searched the surroundings, his gazending on the water vat with many weeds around.

    He said something to his subordinate, who took his gun and prepared to search.

    From the corner of her eye, Lin Yi saw the actions of this group of people. She made up her mind and took advantage of the negligence of the soldiers beside her to run out.

    At this moment, who could care less about searching the house? Everyone ran out to capture Lin Yi.

    The most valuable person in the team was this doctor.

    Lin Yi tried her best to run away from the house and desert, but in the end, she could not escape the capture of the strong soldiers.

    After running for nearly a few hundred meters, Lin Yi was caught.

    They were already a distance away from the simple house and closer to the team¡¯s helicopter and SUV.

    The leader could not be bothered to do anything else. Anyway, he had already earned enough by catching a doctor.

    He immediately left this ce with Lin Yi.

    Lin Yi¡¯s hands were tied as she boarded the ne. Through the window, Lin Yi looked at the house from afar and sighed in her heart.

    She even said that she wanted to return to China to eat the three fresh rice noodles at her doorstep. Now, she was afraid that she would never be able to go back.

    In the water tank, Stone hid inside and did not even dare to breathe loudly. After some time, the sky gradually darkened. Under the moonlight, Stone climbed out of the water tank.

    She leaned towards the door and looked. There was nothing but endless yellow sand outside.

    He returned to check Xia Yu¡¯s breathing. It was still calm, and Stone did not dare to move Xia Yu. He could only guard outside the water tank and wait for Xia Yu to wake up.

    When the sun rose the next day, there was finally some movement in the water tank. ¡°Water¡­¡±

    Stone suddenly woke up and hurriedly poured some water for Xia Yu to drink.

    As the cool dew entered his mouth, Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts seemed to clear up. He looked at the stone. ¡°Is Lin Yi not back yet?¡±

    At the mention of Lin Yi, Stone¡¯s tears flowed. ¡°Brother Xia Yu, Sister Lin Yi has been captured!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± Xia Yu moved slightly and felt a pain in his back. ¡°Speak slowly.¡±

    Stone told Xia Yu everything that had happened yesterday word by word. The more Xia Yu listened, the more serious his expression became.

    <i>Continent F was so chaotic. Even if Lin Yi, a girl, knew medicine and could receive preferential treatment, how long could this preferential treatmentst?</i>

    Help me up.¡± Xia Yu handed his hand to Stone. Stone hurriedly walked over and helped Xia Yu up.

    Xia Yu slowly walked out of the door. He looked around and suddenly pointed at a ck thing not far away. ¡°Stone, pick that up and let me take a look.¡±

    Stone ran over and picked up a badge. Xia Yu took a look and knew that this was a special symbol of the team. Every team had their own unique symbol.

    With this, they would know who had captured Lin Yi.

    Xia Yu walked around and felt a pain in his shoulder and back. He slowed down and waved at Stone. ¡°Come here. Let¡¯s rest here for a few days. When my injuries recover, we¡¯ll save your Sister Lin.¡±

    Lin Yi had medical skills. ording to the scarcity of doctors here, she should not be in danger for the time being.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone walked over and helped Xia Yu into the house.

    Those people ran away in a hurry and did not care about the water and medicine on the ground. There was stillpressed food that Lin Yi had carried back from outside in her backpack.

    Xia Yu flipped through it and ate carefully. These things were enough for him and Stone to eat for a week.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In China, Chu Yi sat on the sofa and yawnedzily. After taking off his sses, he lost his elegance and had an extremely invasive aura.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t found it yet?¡± Chu Yi picked up a cigarette and his assistant lit it for him.

    Chu Yi took a puff and blew out the smoke ring. ¡°Trash.¡±

    The assistant looked at Chu Yi carefully. ¡°Young Master, K¡¯s people seem to be looking for him too, but they can¡¯t find him.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Chu Yi frowned slightly. ¡°Is K short of money?¡±

    The assistant¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Of course not.¡±

    <i>Their mining business was already very profitable. The things K did were all shady, but a business with tens of millions of benefits wascking money? Impossible.?</i>

    Chu Yi naturally knew that K did notck money, but he was also paying attention to this person.

    This made Chu Yi a little curious.

    He sat up. ¡°Interesting. K¡¯s hand has probably reached China long ago.¡±

    The assistant cowered at the side and did not dare to speak.

    At that moment, Chu Yi¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Chu Yi nced at it, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and then pressed the answer button. His voice was extremely elegant. ¡°Hello.¡±

    Feng Wuyou sounded very happy. ¡°Where are you? I want to go out for a meal. Are youing with me?¡±

    Chu Yi smiled gently. ¡°Okay, thene and pick me up.¡±

    ¡°Mm, wait for me obediently.¡± Feng Wuyou had the style of a rich sugar mommy.

    After hanging up, Chu Yi put on his sses again and took the mouthwash beside him to rinse his mouth. ¡°Bring me a shirt that doesn¡¯t smell of smoke.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The assistant retreated respectfully and went to prepare what Chu Yi needed.

    When Chu Yi arrived at the school gate, he received a call from Feng Wuyou. She had forgotten to refuel the car and was about to go to the bus station to refuel when she asked Chu Yi to wait for her at the door.

    Chu Yi walked towards the path by the roadside. There were few people here, so he wanted to wait for Feng Wuyou here.

    Unexpectedly, after standing for less than a minute, he looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over.

    A dark glint shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. He walked forward and greeted Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Chu Yi.

    This nce shocked Chu Yi. He sighed.<i>?No wonder the outside world said that Jun Shiling had umted merit by marrying such a woman.</i>

    <i>From the looks of it, Xia Wanyuan was indeed someone who was worthy of such praise.?</i>

    ¡°And you are?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Chu Yi.¡± Chu Yi smiled. ¡°I¡¯m Feng Wuyou¡¯s boyfriend.¡±

    Hearing this surname Chu, Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of the Chu family that dominated Continent F, but she did not ask further and walked straight forward. ¡°I still have sses, so I won¡¯t apany you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi nodded, then gentlemanly made way for Xia Wanyuan.

    Before Xia Wanyuan left, she nced at him.

    The feeling this Chu Yi gave her did not seem right.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan left, Feng Wuyou arrived. Chu Yi weed her as usual and left chatting andughing with Feng Wuyou.

    On campus, the more Xia Wanyuan thought about it, the more she felt that Chu Yi had an inexplicable superior aura. He did not look like an ordinary student. She called Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was not surprised at all. ¡°I did receive news that the young master of the Chu family, Chu Yi, has arrived in China. He is engaged to Feng Wuyou of the Feng family.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan roughly understood the information.

    ¡°Are you going to ss soon?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked in with her bag. Along the way, many people greeted her.

    ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after ss.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan stepped into the ssroom and began the day¡¯s lecture.

    Linxi City, the Wei family¡¯s old residence.

    It was spring and the flowers were blooming. The Suhang District in the south was naturally filled with beauties.

    ¡°Wretched girl, get out quickly. Young Master Lin has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± After Wei Zhong apologized to Lin Qingyuan outside, he came in to urge Wei Jin.

    Ding Hui walked over reluctantly. ¡°Stop rushing her. She¡¯s a girl. It takes time to dress up.¡±

    Wei Zhong red at Ding Hui. ¡°Shut up, useless thing.¡±

    Ding Hui cowered and finally shut her mouth in silence.

    She hated Wei Zhong to death in her heart, just as she hated her group of vampires who clung to her family.

    However, she had to admit that she could not leave Wei Zhong or her vampire family.

    She needed Wei Zhong to provide her with the identity of the mistress of the Wei family. She needed to seek recognition in front of that group of family members.

    She always lived under Wei Zhong¡¯s belittlement, so she needed to rely on that group of vampire families to show her value.

    Wei Jin finally walked out. She was wearing a light green cheongsam. Her hair was tied up and gently fixed with a jade hairpin. Her carefully applied makeup made her face look even more beautiful.

    Wei Zhong nodded in satisfaction.

    Although Ding Hui was short and ugly, he had to admit that he was very satisfied with the daughter she had given him.

    ¡°Alright, go out quickly. Don¡¯t make Young Master Lin wait too long,¡± Wei Zhong said and got someone to bring Wei Jin out.

    Outside the door, Lin Qingyuan leaned against the car. When he saw Wei Jine out, his eyes lit up. ¡°Miss Wei, you¡¯re so beautiful today.¡±

    Wei Jin replied calmly, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s being polite to me.¡± Lin Qingyuan helped Wei Jin open the car door. ¡°We¡¯re getting married soon, but you¡¯re still treating me like an outsider. Just call me Qingyuan.¡±

    Wei Jin got into the car. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll call you Mr. Lin.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan did not continue to say anything. He helped Wei Jin buckle her seatbelt. ¡°Let¡¯s go to a restaurant in the west of the city today. The seafood there was flown over from the sea.¡±

    ¡°Anything.¡± Wei Jin was expressionless, as if what she ate had nothing to do with her.

    Lin Qingyuan was not in a hurry to start the car. Instead, he turned around and looked at Wei Jin¡¯s side profile seriously. ¡°Wei Jin, how can you believe that I really want to marry you?¡±

    ¡°Is this the reason you snatched a married woman?¡± Wei Jin turned to look at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°You clearly know that I¡¯ve already married before.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan pursed his lips. ¡°So what? Nothing happened between you and him. Besides, even if something happened, I don¡¯t mind.¡±

    Wei Jin turned around. ¡°As the future head of the Lin family, what can¡¯t you get? Why do you keep pestering me?¡±

    ¡°Because I only want you by my side.¡± Lin Qingyuan looked at Wei Jin¡¯s side profile with a hint of love in his eyes.

    Wei Jin turned around and wanted to say something to Lin Qingyuan, but she was caught off guard by the emotions in his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯m so charming that Young Master Lin is deeply in love with me.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled and took out a small bracelet from his pocket. Seeing the bracelet, Wei Jin frowned slightly. ¡°You¡­¡±

    ¡°Do you remember this?¡± Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°Twenty years ago, you dropped the bracelet when you saved me.¡±

    No one in the world would have thought that he could be the next head of the Lin family.

    Because he was someone who had been exiled from the Lin family.

    Twenty years ago, when his mother had just passed away, the other families of the Lin family could not wait to chase Lin Qingyuan out of the Lin family.

    It was the New Year¡¯s Eve of a snowy month.

    While the others were happily eating New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, Lin Qingyuan was walking barefooted in a tattered shirt.

    At that time, it did not matter if he was cold or not. Anyway, his feet were already swollen and filled with blood.

    Lin Qingyuan was hungry and cold as he fell by the roadside.

    He clearly remembered that just as he was about to freeze to death, a girl who was as exquisite as a doll walked over. Not only did she get the servant to buy him new clothes, but she also gave him all her pocket money.

    After warming up, he wanted to thank the girl. At that moment, the girl¡¯s parents had already walked out of the mall. They waved at the little girl. ¡°Wei Jin, what are you doing? Come over.¡±

    ¡°Hey! I¡¯m here!¡± The little girl agreed crisply and ran towards her parents.

    She ran so quickly that the bracelet fell to the ground. Lin Qingyuan picked it up and treasured it.

    This treasurested for twenty years.

    In the beginning, this bracelet was only a memento. It constantly reminded Lin Qingyuan of his humiliation back then and the only warmth on that snowy night.

    Later on, Lin Qingyuan returned to the country. He, who had no intention of marriage, flipped through the information Wei Jin had sent over.

    Looking at the smiling Wei Jin in the photo, Lin Qingyuan felt that she ovepped with the little girl in his memory.

    Only then did Lin Qingyuan make up his mind to marry Wei Jin.

    Looking at the bracelet in Lin Qingyuan¡¯s hand, Wei Jin had some impression of what had happened back then. ¡°Since you feel that I saved you and you want to repay my kindness, you should let me go back.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingyuan put away the bracelet and put it back. He looked at Wei Jin with a deep gaze. ¡°Originally, I just wanted to repay your kindness, but the moment I saw you, I changed my mind.¡±

    Back then, he wanted to repay her because the baby in his memory gave him endless courage and warmth.

    However, the moment he saw Wei Jin, Lin Qingyuan changed his mind.

    Wei Jin had already grown into the person in his dream. He must marry Wei Jin.

    Wei Jin ignored Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze and leaned her head to the side, looking unwilling to talk to Lin Qingyuan anymore.

    Lin Qingyuan did not say anything else. He started the car and drove towards the restaurant.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss, Jun Shiling was already waiting at the ssroom door.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°Why are you so free to pick me up today?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and took the bag from Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m not very busy today.¡±

    Not only was Jun Shiling not busy today, but Xia Wanyuan also ended ss early. The two of them went to the kindergarten to pick Xiao Bao up.

    Xiao Bao had been ced at Old Master¡¯s house these few days.

    He had thought that the chauffeur hade to pick him up, but he did not expect to see Xia Wanyuan the moment he got into the car. Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up in excitement.

    However, when he saw Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao snorted and ignored him angrily.

    Xiao Bao ran to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side and waved at her. ¡°Mommy, bend down.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan bent down and Xiao Bao kissed her on the cheek, causing her to smile.

    Then, Xiao Bao red at Jun Shiling. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t want to kiss you!¡±

    <i>Bad Daddy, in order to monopolize Mommy, he actually sent me to Great-grandfather¡¯s house and didn¡¯t bring me back. I don¡¯t want Jun Shiling to be my second best person anymore.?</i>

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao and walked over to pick him up.

    Xiao Bao struggled for a while. ¡°Bad Daddy, let go of me. Someone is stealing a child!¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± The moment Jun Shiling spoke, Xiao Bao immediately sat still.

    Xia Wanyuan was amused. She followed Jun Shiling into the car and Xiao Bao looked at her. ¡°Mommy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and took Xiao Bao. A smug smile appeared on Xiao Bao¡¯s pink face, but he was so angry that his cheeks bulged. ¡°Mommy, Daddy is a bad person. He won¡¯t let me see you.¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s because Great-grandfather hasn¡¯t been in good health recently. Great-grandfather likes you the most, right? He sent you over to make Great-grandfather happy. You¡¯re a happy fruit,¡± Xia Wanyuanforted Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao thought for a while and did not dwell on this question. He hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck. ¡°Anyway, Daddy doesn¡¯t treat me well. Help me scold him.¡±

    Jun Shiling could not stand Xiao Bao acting coquettishly. He looked away in disdain. ¡°A man is not allowed to act coquettishly.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan righteously. ¡°I¡¯m just acting coquettishly. My mommy likes it!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling gritted his teeth. He wanted to punch someone, but when he looked at Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling suppressed this thought.

    ¡°Mommy, why are you picking me up today?¡± Although Xiao Bao wanted to see Xia Wanyuan, he knew that his great-grandfather liked him and was very willing to apany him.

    ¡°Your father and I are going somewhere in two days. We¡¯ll bring you back for a meal.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°You have to be good and take good care of Great-grandfather.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded. ¡°I¡¯m the most obedient!¡±

    Xiao Bao had not seen Xia Wanyuan for a few days. This time, when he saw her, he kept talking to her.

    When they were about to get out of the car, Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. She secretly whispered a few words into Xiao Bao¡¯s ear, and his eyes lit up. ¡°Really?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, and Xiao Bao blushed.

    He slid down from Xia Wanyuan¡¯sp and leaned towards Jun Shiling. He extended his arms, looking like he wanted Jun Shiling to hug him.

    Jun Shiling nced at him in disdain but still reached out to pick Xiao Bao up.

    A ball of milk fragrance fell into his arms, and Jun Shiling¡¯s heart warmed.

    The moment Xiao Baonded in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, he hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and kissed him on the cheek. ¡°Daddy, I miss you too.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes warmed. ¡°Rascal.¡±

    Xiao Bao chuckled and hugged Jun Shiling tightly, enjoying the warmth from his father.

    Jun Shiling reached out and rubbed Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°I bought you a ne.¡±

    ¡°I knew you were the best, Daddy!¡± With the ne, Xiao Bao¡¯s unhappiness from Jun Shiling¡¯s disdain waspletely cured.

    This time, they did not go home but went straight to Bo Xiao.

    It had been a long time since she had seen Bo Xiao and An Rao. An Rao had already expressed her longing for Xiao Bao countless times. This time, she brought Xiao Bao along.

    As expected, when they arrived at Bo Xiao¡¯s house and she saw Xiao Bao, An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Wow, little cutie!!¡± An Rao reached out to Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao ran over and lightened his footsteps when he was five steps away from An Rao, afraid that he would bump into her stomach. He smiled and leaned towards An Rao. ¡°The most beautiful Auntie An Rao, I miss you so much!¡±

    An Rao was overjoyed by his coaxing and took out arge pile of candy.

    Xiao Bao looked at the candy in front of him excitedly, but he quickly deted. He secretly nced at Jun Shiling and met his cold gaze.

    Xiao Bao howled and retracted his hand.

    ¡°Daddy doesn¡¯t allow me to eat candy.¡±

    However, in private, An Rao secretly hid a candy in her palm and handed it to Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up and he took the candy from An Rao.

    <i>I knew that Auntie An Rao was the best! The most beautiful!</i>

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and prepared to talk to An Rao.

    Xiao Bao ran to the side alone and secretly bent down to peel the candy wrapper. Before he could put a candy in his mouth, a hand reached out and took the candy from his mouth.

    Xiao Bao looked up and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face. Xiao Bao¡¯s face fell. ¡°Daddy, I just want to smell it. I don¡¯t n to eat it.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and threw the candy into the trash can. ¡°Look at your teeth. How dare you eat candy?¡±

    Xiao Bao pursed his lips and sat there pitifully, epting Jun Shiling¡¯s reprimand.

    Bo Xiao walked over and pulled Jun Shiling. ¡°Alright, I still have something to tell you.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling leave with Bo Xiao.

    Behind him, Xiao Bao made a face at Jun Shiling.

    In the study, Bo Xiao brewed a pot of tea for Jun Shiling. ¡°Are you going to Lin Xi?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°The Lin family is about to change. They sent us an invitation.¡±

    ¡°Who exactly is that Lin Qingyuan? Why have I never heard of such a person in the Lin family before?¡± Bo Xiao found it very strange.

    The power struggle in big families was very intense.

    However, it was really strange how an abandoned child like Lin Qingyuan returned to the Lin family to take control.

    ¡°He¡¯s an abandoned son. He was brought to America twenty years ago and only returnedst year.¡± Jun Shiling did not receive much news. He took a sip of tea and his eyes were deep. ¡°Behind him, there should be an unclear rtionship with a family in America, but I¡¯m not sure which family it is.¡±

    If he could investigate, Jun Shiling would not have to go to the birthday banquet personally.

    It was because they could not investigate that it was even more strange.

    A very powerful force had been hiding Lin Qingyuan¡¯s information. Even Jun Shiling could not clear the fog of this force.

    ¡°Could it be the Blue family of America?¡± Bo Xiao thought for a while and suddenly suggested this hypothesis.

    After all, the head of the Blue family was Chinese and had a close rtionship with China. If it were anyone else, Bo Xiao could not imagine which American would take Lin Qingyuan back.

    Jun Shiling pondered for a moment and finally shook his head. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Alright, there will be a day when the matter is investigated.¡± Since he could not guess, Bo Xiao decided not to guess.

    ¡°How are the preparations for your wedding?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s about time. Thank you for sending people over.¡± Bo Xiao nodded at Jun Shiling.

    Now that An Rao was pregnant, he did not have the energy to be distracted by the preparations for the wedding. Fortunately, Jun Shiling had sent Lin Jing over and Lin Jing had helped him arrange everything.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Jun Shiling replied. There was no need for ¡®thank you¡¯ between him and Bo Xiao.

    ¡°I have a bad feeling recently.¡± Bo Xiao stood up and looked at the traffic outside the window. The uneasiness in his heart was stirring. He turned around and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know where this intuitiones from, but it seems like something will happen.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s feeling came for no reason, but it really made him feel ufortable.

    That was why he was so anxious to hold a wedding with An Rao. Even though An Rao was about to give birth, he did not want to waste any time.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was a little solemn. ¡°The family forces in this world have been peaceful for a while.¡±

    Theke that had been calm for too long was sometimes not really calm.

    Instead, it was brewing an even greater wave.

    The two of them did not talk for long. In the afternoon, Bo Xiao did not want the auntie to cook for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, so he could only cook himself.

    Xia Wanyuan and An Rao chatted in the living room, while Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao cooked in the kitchen.

    Bo Xiao nced at the skilled Jun Shiling. ¡°Not bad, Brother. Your knife skills are not bad. Have you done these many things at home?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°Your food is not bad either.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°I¡¯m doting on my wife. I¡¯m proud.¡±

    Jun Shiling continued to cut the vegetables in his hand and did not speak.

    Soon, the rich fragrance of the food spread to the house. An Rao took a deep breath and was about to drool.

    She gulped. ¡°Sister, it smells too good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was also hungry. She nced at the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯ll get some food.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± An Rao was like a little hamster waiting to be fed, her eyes shining with excitement.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the kitchen and nced at the pot.

    Bo Xiao knew An Rao¡¯s temper too well. He had taken out a te early and ced some meat on it. ¡°Sister-inw, this is for you. Try it first. The food will be ready soon.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the te and replied, ¡°Okay.¡±

    Thick heat spread in the room. In the living room, Xia Wanyuan, An Rao, and Xiao Bao were eating hot braised pork. In the kitchen, Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao were cooking.

    The sun was just right, and the breeze was warm.

    When Bo Xiao walked into the living room with the food, he suddenly felt mncholic.

    He thought that if only life would continue like this and stop at this moment forever.

    <i>There were family, friends, andughter.?</i>

    Unfortunately, time would not stop for anyone or anything.

    After dinner, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left.

    With Bo Xiao¡¯s help, An Rao waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Yuan Yuan,e back early. I¡¯ll wait for you to be my bridesmaid.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at An Rao. Xiao Bao reluctantly bade farewell to An Rao and Bo Xiao.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were about to leave Beijing. On the way back, they sent Xiao Bao to Old Master.

    The old master was as kind as ever. He looked at the family of three and nodded in satisfaction.

    Although Old Master Jun had already retreated behind the scenes,

    However, as the former head of the Jun family, how could he not smell the surging aura?

    However, the old master, who was used to storms, knew that any storm would pass.

    As long as the family was united, they could transcend countless storms and guard theirst hope.

    ¡°Grandpa.¡± Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went forward to greet Old Master.

    ¡°Mm.¡± The old master smiled and nodded. He reached out to Xiao Bao. ¡°Come to Great-grandfather obediently. Your parents are busy.¡±

    Xiao Bao nodded and let go of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Daddy, Mommy, you have to remember to miss me.¡±

    After sending Xiao Bao to Old Master, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan quickly left.

    In the car, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reluctant expression, Jun Shiling smiled and hugged her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when we return from the south, we¡¯ll bring Jun Yin back to live with us.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling was not the only one who was preparing to leave Beijing.

    Now, almost all the higher-ups in Beijing were preparing to go to Linxi.

    The ancient city in the south became the focus of the world at this moment.

    As thergest family in the south, everyone was undoubtedly paying attention to the sessor ceremony of the Lin family.

    ¡°Hubby, can you bring me along?¡± Zhang Yi naturally knew that Lin Xi City would gather celebrities from all walks of life this time. Because it was her second marriage, her rtionship with the richdies had never been good.

    This time, so many people were going to the Lin family¡¯s session ceremony. She wanted to follow them and build a good rtionship with those nobledies.

    Mu Ting nced at Zhang Yi, the displeasure in his eyes obvious. ¡°Can you stop bending over? Stay at home and recuperate. Didn¡¯t you say that the doctor told you that this child can be kept?¡±

    When Mu Ting said this, Zhang Yi was instantly speechless.

    Wang Ya had already helped her find a suitable person to help give birth, so Zhang Yi found the relevant doctor and gave her a fake certificate.

    She told Mu Ting that her child was easy to keep. Mu Ting was naturally very happy when he found out. After asking the doctor with her report, the doctor told Mu Ting with certainty that the possibility was as high as 90%.

    It was originally caused by Zhang Yi, but now, it had be the reason why she could not go to Lin Xi.

    Zhang Yi had no choice but to watch Mu Ting leave with his assistant, while she could only drink bitter and recuperate at home.

    Zhang Yi was depressed. She had smashed all the porcin cups in the house.

    The servants outside heard themotion inside and could not help but shake their heads.

    It was difficult to be a wife of a wealthy family, but it was not easy to be a servant of a wealthy family either.

    They had been cleaning up the trash for them every day.

    ¡ª¡ª

    As Lin Qingyuan¡¯s birthday was approaching, everyone was preparing to leave.

    An invitation from the Lin family exploded in the noble circle.

    The wedding invitation clearly showed that on the day of the session ceremony, the Lin family would wee their new mistress.

    And this matriarch came from the Wei family.

    The name of the matriarch of the Wei family in the photo was ¡°Wei Jin¡±.

    However, anyone who had seen Wei Jin could tell that she was clearly the daughter-inw of the Mu family!

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan naturally saw the person on the wedding invitation. She frowned slightly and was a little puzzled. ¡°Don¡¯t the Lin family know that Wei Jin is the daughter-inw of the Mu family?¡±

    <i>Impossible. Even if the Wei family wanted to hide this news, they could not hide it at all. Unless the Lin family tacitly agreed to this method of concealment.?</i>

    Jun Shiling took the invitation and looked at it. ¡°So Wei Jin is definitely safe now. You can rest assured.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m even more worried after reading this.¡± Worry shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    There were many people in Beijing who had seen Wei Jin. Now that things hade to this, the grudge between the Mu family and the Lin family would probably be even greater.

    Jun Shiling smiled and smoothed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s frown. ¡°There will always be a solution. You have to believe your husband.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°Did you know long ago?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and did not speak.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan realize that Jun Shiling was not surprised at all when he learned of this news, which meant that he must have received the news long ago. ¡°What other news are you hiding from me?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°No, how would I dare to hide it from you?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan put the wedding invitation aside and did not continue talking to Jun Shiling. Anyway, she would know when the time came.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the Qing University campus.

    Feng Wuyou was held by Chu Yi as the two of them walked side by side in the garden filled with peach blossoms.

    ¡°Wuyou.¡± Chu Yi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Feng Wuyou.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Feng Wuyou, who had always been noisy, was rarely obedient under Chu Yi¡¯s gaze.

    After all, Chu Yi¡¯s gentle gaze was really irresistible.

    Looking at Feng Wuyou¡¯s shy expression, a glint shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. He smiled. ¡°It¡¯s my birthday in two days. Can wee out for dinner together?¡±

    Feng Wuyou was about to agree when she suddenly remembered that she was going to Lin Xi City in the south with Xuan Sheng in two days. She would definitely not be in Beijing then. A hesitant expression immediately appeared on his face.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it inconvenient?¡± Disappointment shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes.

    Feng Wuyou hurriedly waved his hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean not to be with you. It¡¯s because I have something to do outside.¡±

    ¡°What is it? Can you bring me along?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Feng Wuyou wanted to say no.?<i>If Xuan Sheng knew that I brought Chu Yi along, he would definitely scold me to death.</i>?However, seeing Chu Yi¡¯s disappointed and reluctant expression, Feng Wuyou softened. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go with me?¡±

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Seeing Chu Yi smile, Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart raced and her face began to heat up.

    She thought that if she was scolded to death by Xuan Sheng when she returned, so be it.?<i>However, it was really not my fault. Who asked a handsome man to be too alluring? Who could resist this?!?</i>

    While Feng Wuyou was letting her imagination run wild, she did not notice that Chu Yi had already lowered his head.

    When Feng Wuyou sensed a shadow in front of her, she looked up in surprise. Chu Yi¡¯s face was already close.

    At that moment, Chu Yi had already taken off his sses. His beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with spring light and endless love that could easily charm people.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Feng Wuyou pursed her lips. She had just said a word when Chu Yi¡¯s face pressed down.

    Feng Wuyou closed her eyes nervously, but to her surprise, Chu Yi only nted a warm kiss on her cheek before standing up.

    Feng Wuyou opened one eye and secretly nced at Chu Yi, only to see him smiling gently.

    ¡°Why did you kiss me?¡± Feng Wuyou opened her eyes.

    <i>It was fine if he kissed me, but why was he so timid? He only dared to kiss me once??</i>This was different from what Feng Wuyou had imagined.

    Chu Yi reached out and tucked Feng Wuyou¡¯s hair behind his ear. ¡°I just think you¡¯re very beautiful and cute.¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s face flushed red from the praise. ¡°You¡¯re the cute one.¡±

    Chu Yi did not speak further and only looked at Feng Wuyou quietly with a smile.

    Feng Wuyou felt that the scenery of spring was not as stunning and moving as the small light in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Beijing airport had been especially busy in the past few days. All sorts of private nes kept taking off from the airport and heading south.

    Xuan Sheng sat on the ne and was thinking about why Feng Wuyou was not here yet. Just as he was about to call her, Feng Wuyou¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind.

    ¡°Old Xuan! There¡¯s no need to call. I¡¯m already here.¡± Feng Wuyou walked over and took Xuan Sheng¡¯s phone away.

    Xuan Sheng raised an eyebrow. ¡°Where did you go? I couldn¡¯t find you no matter how hard I tried. Are you¡­¡±

    Xuan Sheng suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence.

    Because there was someone beside Feng Wuyou, a very handsome man.

    Xuan Sheng frowned. ¡°Who is this?¡±

    Before Feng Wuyou could exin, Chu Yi had already stood up. He extended a hand to Xuan Sheng. ¡°Hello, my name is Chu Yi.¡±

    Hearing this voice, a hint of surprise shed across Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. Hearing this name again, Xuan Sheng was even more surprised. He looked at Chu Yi and was about to say something when Feng Wuyou spoke first.

    ¡°I know what you want to say, but this Chu Yi is not what you think. He just has the same name.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Feng Wuyou in a speechless manner. He did not know if it was because Feng Wuyou was too stupid or this Chu Yi was too smart.

    After Feng Wuyou finished speaking, he thought that Xuan Sheng was going to be angry. Unexpectedly, Xuan Sheng did not say anything and only looked at Chu Yi with aplicated gaze.

    ¡°Go next door first. I have something to say to your Mr. Chu Yi.¡± Xuan Sheng nced at Feng Wuyou with an irrefutable gaze.

    Feng Wuyou looked at Chu Yifortingly. ¡°This Xuan Sheng is my friend. Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t do anything to you. If there¡¯s anything, just call me.¡±

    With that, Feng Wuyou nced at Xuan Sheng warningly. ¡°Don¡¯t bully him.¡±

    Xuan Sheng wanted to roll his eyes.

    <i>I wondered who was bullying whom.?</i>

    After Feng Wuyou left, Xuan Sheng looked at Chu Yi. ¡°Chu Yi?¡±

    Chu Yi took off his sses. In an instant, Xuan Sheng was certain who the person in front of him was.

    It was different from the elegant aura beside Feng Wuyou just now.

    At this moment, Chu Yi was 70% invasive and 30% evil.

    The legendary young master of Continent F should be what Chu Yi looked like now.

    ¡°I am.¡± Chu Yi sat in front of Xuan Sheng and casually leaned back in his chair. He looked nonchnt, but it was impossible to ignore him.

    ¡°Why are you in China?¡± This was the first time Xuan Sheng had seen Chu Yi in person. He was even more unfathomable than he had imagined.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious?¡± Chu Yi tilted his head. ¡°My fianc¨¦e ran away. Is there a problem if Ie and chase her back?¡±

    Xuan Sheng frowned. ¡°Are you really here for Feng Wuyou?¡±

    Xuan Sheng was not stupid enough to believe Chu Yi casually.

    <i>To be able to be the overlord of Continent F, how could the Chu family¡¯s schemes be so simple??</i>Xuan Sheng had to repeatedly consider his every word.

    ¡°It¡¯s up to you to believe me or not.¡± Chu Yi smiled at Xuan Sheng casually, as if he did not care what Xuan Sheng said.

    Xuan Sheng nced at Chu Yi. ¡°Feng Wuyou is even more innocent than you think. Don¡¯t hurt her.¡±

    At this point, Chu Yi straightened his body and his expression became serious. ¡°Even if I hurt everyone, I won¡¯t hurt her.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± At that moment, Xuan Sheng could feel his seriousness and reluctantly believed Chu Yi.

    ¡°Please keep my identity a secret. I don¡¯t want her to know. She¡¯s very resistant to marriage.¡± Chu Yi put on his sses again. The eyes hidden behind the lenses were unclear.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Xuan Sheng nodded. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t hurt Feng Wuyou, everything else can be discussed.¡±

    When Feng Wuyou finally returned to the cabin, she saw Xuan Sheng and Chu Yi sitting and chatting.

    Feng Wuyou looked at Xuan Sheng in surprise. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at Feng Wuyou in disdain, clearly disappointed in her intelligence. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Your boyfriend is not bad.¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s sses widened slightly as she gave Chu Yi a thumbs up.

    <i>Amazing. He had actually settled someone as difficult as Xuan Sheng in such a short time.?</i>

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and a meaningful glint shed across his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It had been a long time since Linxi City was so lively.

    In his impression, such a lively time was decades ago, before the Wei family split up and Old Master Wei was alive.

    At that time, Lin Xi also attracted the attention of the entire China.

    Later on, the Wei family was divided into two. The originally top family seemed to have fallen silent overnight.

    Due to the intense family conflict in the Lin family, they came to fight behind closed doors. It looked normal on the outside, but in fact, they were already exhausted on the inside.

    These tworge families seemed to have stopped minding their own business and guarded their own territories.

    Now, the two big families had shocked the world. Not only did the Lin family change dynasties, but they also wanted to have a marriage with the Wei family.

    No matter who it was, they could sense the Lin family¡¯s ambition this time.

    While everyone in the outside world were guessing, the airport in Lin Xi was extremely busy, while piles of luxurious cars were busy receiving them.

    At that moment, the Lin family¡¯s backyard seemed extremely calm. It could even be considered the peace of a peach blossom garden.

    The entire backyard was filled with peach blossoms. A breeze blew and the petals rustled.

    Lin Qingyuan reached out to brush the petals off Wei Jin¡¯s shoulder and poured her a ss of water. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±

    ¡°I miss Mu Feng.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s expression was cold.

    Lin Qingyuan paused for a moment before returning to normal. He knocked on the table and asked Wei Jin to look at him.

    Looking straight into Wei Jin¡¯s cold eyes, displeasure shed across Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll always tolerate you.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. ¡°I know you won¡¯t tolerate me. I don¡¯t need you to tolerate me, so kill me? Or destroy the Wei family? Up to you.¡±

    Anyway, even if Lin Qingyuan wanted to attack the Wei family, he could only stop at the Wei family in Jiangnan. Lin Qingyuan did not have the ability to attack the Wei family in Beijing.

    As for the Wei family in Jiangnan, Wei Jin did not care about them at all.

    <i>It was best if the Wei family waspletely destroyed. Anyway, that was a rotten ce.?</i>

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°What nonsense are you saying? The Wei family is your maiden home, a ce where you can settle down. I won¡¯t destroy that ce.¡±

    ¡°Then kill me.¡± Wei Jin looked at Lin Qingyuan coldly.

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°What are you thinking? I won¡¯t let you die.¡±

    Wei Jin turned her head and ignored Lin Qingyuan.

    Lin Qingyuan did not seem angry at all. He poured tea for Wei Jin and even personally brought the teacup to Wei Jin¡¯s mouth.

    Wei Jin did not want to drink it and turned her face to the side. Lin Qingyuan walked forward with a smile on his face, but his hand pinched Wei Jin¡¯s chin and made her drink the cup of tea.

    The water was a little hot. If she forced it down, Wei Jin¡¯s throat would burn with pain. Even her eyes were burning with hot tears.

    ¡°Does it taste good?¡± Lin Qingyuan pinched Wei Jin¡¯s chin and forced her to look up.

    Wei Jin looked at Lin Qingyuan with cold eyes. ¡°You want to marry me to make up for your sorry state back then.¡±

    As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s heart trembled.

    <i>Wei Jin was right.</i>

    Lin Qingyuan had already gotten rid of all the people who had stepped on him back then.

    Among the people who had witnessed his dark history, only Wei Jin was left. Wei Jin¡¯s existence constantly reminded him of how miserable he had been back then.

    He wanted to kill Wei Jin, but Wei Jin saved him again and became a belief that he had walked out of over the years.

    Under such a contradictory mentality, on the one hand, Lin Qingyuan pitied Wei Jin and wanted to keep her by his side and give her the supreme position of Madam Lin.

    On the other hand, he could not help but want to see Wei Jin in pain. He wanted to kill this person who existed in his painful memories.

    Looking at Wei Jin¡¯s cold eyes, Lin Qingyuan let go.

    Wei Jin obtained her freedom and coughed softly. However, her throat seemed to have been scalded. Even though she was coughing softly, she could feel the tearing pain. Wei Jin could not help but frown.

    Looking at Wei Jin¡¯s painful expression, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes shed with heartache. He waved his hand, and soon, a professional doctor came to treat Wei Jin.

    When she returned to the Wei family, Wei Zhong looked at the pile of priceless jewelry on Wei Jin and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Looks like Young Master Lin is indeed quite satisfied with you. He even gave you the jewelry he just bought from the auction. Well done.¡±

    Wei Jin ignored Wei Zhong and walked straight forward.

    The Wei family had many feudal etiquette. Usually, no one dared to ignore Wei Zhong¡¯s words. Seeing that Wei Jin ignored him so much, Wei Zhong was dissatisfied. He berated, ¡°Do you really think you can be arrogant just because Young Master Lin is protecting you? Stop right there and speak.¡±

    Wei Jin was silent. Wei Zhong stepped forward to hit her, but Wei Jin grabbed his hand. She spoke slowly, her voice a little hoarse. ¡°If you don¡¯t want a corpse to marry Lin Qingyuan, shut up.¡±

    Wei Zhong¡¯s face flushed red with anger, but he could not do anything to Wei Jin. He could only watch Wei Jin leave angrily.

    Not long after Wei Jin entered the house, the butler walked up to Wei Zhong.

    ¡°Master, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are here. They¡¯re at the door. Should we let them in?¡±

    Hearing the butler¡¯s words, Wei Zhong frowned. ¡°What are they doing here?¡±

    The butler looked very troubled. ¡°Xia Wanyuan said that they¡¯re both from the Wei family. Since she came to Lin Xi, she should live in the Wei family.¡±

 Chapter 1169 - Tit for Tat

    <h4>Chapter 1169: Tit for Tat</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    ¡°What a joke.¡± Wei Zhong sneered and waved his hand. ¡°Chase Xia Wanyuan away.¡±

    He knew very well that Xia Wanyuan hade to the Wei family for Wei Jin. He would not give Xia Wanyuan a chance. No matter what, Wei Jin had to marry Lin Qingyuan.

    And with Lin Qingyuan¡¯s help, he would be the head of the Wei family in Jiangnan.

    The butler hesitated for a moment and handed the visiting card in his hand to Wei Zhong. ¡°But there¡¯s a visiting card from Jun Shiling here.¡±

    Wei Zhong took it and saw that the Jun family¡¯s seal was on the invitation.

    Compared to Xia Wanyuan, who had the same origin as him, Wei Zhong was in a dilemma when he saw the invitation with the Jun family¡¯s seal.

    He did not want to take it, but the weight of the Jun family was there.

    Wei Zhong hesitated for a moment and finally folded the invitation. ¡°I¡¯ll go see them. Go to the Lin family now and tell Lin Qingyuan that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan have arrived at the Wei family. Let¡¯s see what he does.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The butler hurriedly retreated and headed towards the Lin family.

    In the front hall of the Wei family, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were weed.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the antique decorations in the hall. Every ornament here could be considered priceless.

    Even a small teacup could cause a sensation in the antique market.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan had seen countless rare treasures, she could not help but sigh in her heart.?<i>The Wei family of Jiangnan could really be considered deeply rooted.?</i>

    It could be seen that after they separated from the family back then, Old Madam Wei had brought everyone north and actually did not get anything. The really good things were all left in the Wei family in Jiangnan.

    All these years, Old Madam Wei had relied on herself to support the entire Wei family in Beijing. It was really difficult for her.

    ¡°What a rare guest. I didn¡¯t expect CEO Jun toe to my Wei family today. It¡¯s my honor.¡± Wei Zhong strode in from the door. As he walked, he reached out to Jun Shiling with a face full of joy.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Jun Shiling nodded at Wei Zhong.

    Wei Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Wanyuan? How has Wanyuan been recently? How is the olddy¡¯s health?¡±

    He looked like a very amiable elder.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Is Second Master Wei in charge of the Wei family?¡±

    When he said this, Wei Zhong¡¯s expression froze.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s meaning was obvious. Xia Wanyuan was the head of the Wei family in Beijing. Since Wei Zhong had not be the head of the Wei family in Jiangnan, it was very against the rules to call Xia Wanyuan by her name.

    Wei Zhong spat in his heart and his old face quickly returned to normal. ¡°Mrs. Jun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sat on the guest seats. Wei Zhong was clearly the host, but looking at the two leisurely people in front of him, he felt ufortable.

    It was as if Xia Wanyuan and the rest were the masters, and Wei Zhong was just someone who looked up to them.

    While Wei Zhong was sizing Xia Wanyuan up, Xia Wanyuan also nced at Wei Zhong. ¡°I heard that the Wei family is going to marry the Lin family.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wei Zhong nodded openly. ¡°Speaking of which, this is a good thing. The marriage between the Wei family and the Lin family will be quite useful to our family.¡±

    ¡°I wonder which family she¡¯s from?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my younger daughter, Wei Jing.¡± Wei Zhong smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m ashamed to say this. My younger daughter has been raised outside because of her birth characters and hasn¡¯t been listed in the family tree. She¡¯s about to get married before she¡¯s listed in the family tree.¡±

    ¡°Wei Jing.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s quite simr to Wei Jin¡¯s name.¡±

    Wei Zhong nodded. ¡°They¡¯re sisters to begin with. They look alike and have simr names. Speaking of Wei Jin, I want to ask Madam Jun how my daughter, Wei Jin, is living in Beijing? Is her health good?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan slowly took a sip of tea. ¡°As a father, shouldn¡¯t you know better than me whether she¡¯s good or not?¡±

    Wei Zhong ignored Xia Wanyuan¡¯s implied meaning and nodded with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m just confused because I¡¯m concerned. I should have treated you well today, but I¡¯m really sorry. Recently, my family has been busy with my daughter¡¯s marriage. I¡¯m afraid of neglecting you. Why don¡¯t I treat you well after the marriage is over?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down her teacup. ¡°There¡¯s no need for hospitality. It¡¯s just that I came back to offer incense to my ancestors. Where¡¯s the ancestral hall? Bring me there.¡±

    Wei Zhong¡¯s expression froze.?<i>How could I let Xia Wanyuan enter the backyard? This Xia Wanyuan was clearly scheming. Who knew what she was here for??</i>

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the ancestral hall is being repaired. Let¡¯s do it another day.¡±

    ¡°Second Master Wei, do you not treat me as a family?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Zhong with pressure in her eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan was used to the disputes in the royal court and temples. The words she said could be regarded as the golden rule by the civil and military officials.

    How could Wei Zhong resist such power? He braced himself and was about to copse when someone suddenly walked in.

    ¡°Father-inw, did Ie at the wrong time today?¡± A gentle voice came from outside the door.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. Outside the door was a very elegant-looking man. Although he looked gentle, his eyes had a deep light like the sea. One look and one could tell that he was someone with a hidden agenda.

    Wei Zhong seemed to have found his savior. He stood up and looked at Lin Qingyuan excitedly. ¡°Young Master Lin, let me introduce you.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan walked over and met Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. ¡°There¡¯s no need to introduce me. I know the famous Jun Shiling and Madam Jun.¡±

    Then, Lin Qingyuan reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up and held Lin Qingyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Young Master Lin, you¡¯re too polite.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled, then his gazended on Xia Wanyuan. His sses lit up slightly. ¡°Everyone says that the Wei family specializes in producing peerless beauties. That¡¯s right. Madam Jun can be considered a national beauty.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Young Master Lin, you tter me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zhong¡¯s conflict was immediately put on hold by Lin Qingyuan.

    Lin Qingyuan was very sociable.

    Even though it was his first time meeting Jun Shiling, he could chat with him.

    Lin Qingyuan kept introducing the scenic spots in Lin Xi to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Why don¡¯t we do this? After saying so much, why don¡¯t we have dinner together? It can be considered a wee for the two of you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and shook her head gently. Only then did Jun Shiling look at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°We just arrived today. Madam is weak. Let¡¯s rest so that we can attend your ceremony tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Since he had already said so much, Lin Qingyuan could not force them. He called someone in and took out a business card from his assistant. ¡°This is for CEO Jun. If you have any questions, you can look for me directly.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and took the name card.

    The atmosphere was harmonious.

    With Lin Qingyuan blocking them here, it was definitely impossible for them to enter the Wei family today. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan could only leave first.

    Watching them leave, Wei Zhong looked worried. He looked at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Young Master Lin, about the session ceremony and wedding tomorrow, Jun Shiling and the rest won¡¯t cause trouble, right?¡±

    Wei Zhong knew that Xia Wanyuan and Wei Jin had a good rtionship. He was worried that Xia Wanyuan would disrupt tomorrow¡¯s wedding.

    ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with confidence. ¡°This is Lin Xi, not Beijing.¡±

    <i>Lin Xi was the world of the Lin family and the Wei family. Even if Jun Shiling¡¯s methods were heaven-defying, did he still want to direct everyone here?</i>

    Although Lin Qingyuan said that, Wei Zhong¡¯s heart was still in turmoil.

    He was already panicking. After Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan came, he panicked even more.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left the Wei family and slowly walked along the path outside.

    Lin Xi was an antique city.

    It still retained many ancient buildings from hundreds of years ago. The river meandered through the middle of the city, and limestone bridges connected different sections.

    It was spring, and the flowers were blooming. There were mountains in the distance, water nearby, and flowers beside them. The environment was very good.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the scenery by the roadside, but her mood was not so rxed. ¡°Can¡¯t you see through Lin Qingyuan?¡±

    No wonder he could return to the Lin family after twenty years and take down the position of the head of the family. Just by listening to him, one could tell that this person was unfathomable.

    Jun Shiling reached out and took the petals off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°No matter what happens to him, as long as you want to, I¡¯ll help you save Wei Jin.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. At this moment, Jun Shiling exuded a domineering aura that made one involuntarily submit.

    When he said these words, not only did they not feel strange, but they also did not feel that he was talking nonsense. Instead, they really believed that he had the ability.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Is CEO Jun that amazing?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    The two of them slowly walked forward. Not long after, they met Feng Wuyou and the others walking over at a corner.

    When Feng Wuyou saw Xia Wanyuan, her first reaction was to greet her. Unexpectedly, just as she waved her hand, she suddenly thought of Xuan Sheng beside her and could not help but look at him carefully.

    However, at this moment, Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression was very indifferent. There was nothing sad about him.

    Feng Wuyou waved at Xia Wanyuan in relief. ¡°Beauty!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan also saw Feng Wuyou and nodded at her.

    Jun Shiling nced at Chu Yi, who was also sizing him up.

    Their gazes brushed past each other, as if they had just experienced an earth-shattering battle, and as if nothing had happened.

    Chu Yi retracted his gaze and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Seeing that Feng Wuyou still wanted to talk to Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng nced at her indifferently.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Feng Wuyou knew that Xuan Sheng was feeling ufortable, so she temporarily gave up on the chance to talk to the beauty and followed Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Old Xuan, are you okay?¡± After walking for a long time, Feng Wuyou carefully nced at Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng looked up. ¡°Why won¡¯t I be okay?¡±

    Feng Wuyou pursed her lips. ¡°I was just asking.¡±

    <i>He still said that he was fine. From what I think, Xuan Sheng almost wrote the words ¡°I¡¯m very sad¡± on his head.?</i>

    Xuan Sheng walked forward and could not be bothered with Feng Wuyou.

    Looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s bleak back, Feng Wuyou felt inexplicably sad. She held Chu Yi¡¯s hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the hotel first and let him be alone.¡±

    Chu Yi nced at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xuan Sheng walked slowly along the river and walked to a small step. Xuan Sheng sat down and threw small stones into the river aimlessly.

    After some time, he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance of pastries.

    Xuan Sheng turned around and saw Lu Li¡¯s bright smile.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, why are you here alone?¡±

    Although Xuan Sheng did not have that kind of romantic love for Lu Li, he had to admit that Lu Li was a person who could make one¡¯s mood improve.

    Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you afraid of me? I¡¯ve already scolded you so much. Why do you still dare to talk to me?¡±

    Lu Li sat beside Xuan Sheng. ¡°Because I¡¯ve thought it through.¡±

    Lu Li had been home for the past few days.

    When she returned home, she realized that her grandparents had begun to grow old. Her grandfather, who could lift a load of water effortlessly in the past, could no longer lift water.

    In Lu Li¡¯s impression, Grandma, who could always walk in front of Lu Li and bring her to the market, was actually much shorter than her this time.

    The traces left by the wind and frost on the elders became heavier and heavier. Lu Li could clearly sense the traces of time.

    It was precisely in front of such clear and intuitive years that Lu Li felt that her love that was restrained by emotions was actually not a big deal in the face of life and death.

    Cherishing the present was actually more important than anything.

    Just like now, she did not ask Xuan Sheng to like her, nor did she need to have any expectations for him.

    They had already experienced sitting and chatting like this.

    Xuan Sheng understood the emotions in Lu Li¡¯s eyes. He smiled and reached out to touch her hair. ¡°Girl, you live so well.¡±

    She was much more knowledgeable than most people. Even he could not catch up to Lu Li.

    Lu Li smiled and handed the pastry in her hand to Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, do you want to try what I made? Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t use oil. It¡¯s very refreshing.¡±

    Xuan Sheng reached out to take one and tasted it. ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious.¡±

    A smile appeared in Lu Li¡¯s eyes. ¡°As long as you like it, CEO Xuan.¡±

    Xuan Sheng slowly ate a pastry and suddenly said, ¡°Actually, I know that you made those dishes.¡±

    Xuan Sheng had a picky mouth and a sensitive taste. Xuan Sheng sensed it the moment the food entered his mouth, but he deliberately did not want Lu Li to fall into it again.

    Lu Li was not surprised at all. ¡°I know. You¡¯re so smart. I definitely can¡¯t hide these tricks from you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled and nced at Lu Li. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve thought it through, you don¡¯t have to be afraid of me in the future. I won¡¯t be fierce to you.¡±

    Lu Li nodded. ¡°Mm!¡±

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan passed by from afar on the bridge. Looking at Xuan Sheng and Lu Li, who were sitting and chatting together, Xia Wanyuan sighed. ¡°Do you think Xuan Sheng will like Lu Li?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak, but he looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully, making her heart skip a beat.

    ¡°What kind of look is that?¡±

    ¡°A look of condemnation.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with condemning me?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly.

    He was a man, so he could understand Xuan Sheng¡¯s thoughts the best. How could Xuan Sheng be relieved?

    The fact that he could sit and chat peacefully with Lu Li meant that Xuan Sheng had no other thoughts about Lu Li.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling thought that if Xia Wanyuan had never liked him, he would definitely never get married in his life and live his life like this with the memories of being with Xia Wanyuan.

    Thinking of this, Jun Shiling suddenly felt very lucky. He pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that she knew Jun Shiling better, but at this moment, she really could not understand Jun Shiling¡¯s train of thought. ¡°Thank you for what?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak. He only lowered his head and sealed all the answers in his kiss, sending them all to Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>Of course, it was to thank you for not letting me live alone in a world filled with memories. Thank you for choosing me.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was at a loss by Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden enthusiasm, but soon, she melted into Jun Shiling¡¯s endless love.

    Lin Qingyuan stayed in the Wei family for a while and left after checking Wei Jin¡¯s injuries.

    When he returned to the Lin family¡¯s courtyard, Lin Qingyuan had just arrived at the door when he heard themotion inside.

    The butler weed them. ¡°Young Master, Miss and the rest are back.¡±

    As he spoke, Su Yueran and Lin Wei walked out.

    Su Yueran had a proper smile on her face as she called out to Lin Qingyuan, ¡°Brother.¡±

    Lin Wei nced at Lin Qingyuan, but she looked very reluctant. In the end, under Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze, Lin Wei still called out, ¡°Brother.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s rare for the two of you toe back. Rest at home for two days.¡±

    Su Yueran smiled gently. ¡°Okay, Big Brother. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Lin Wei looked away and Lin Qingyuan nced at her. ¡°Lin Wei,e to the backyard with me.¡±

    Su Yueran watched Lin Wei and Lin Qingyuan leave and clenched her fists.

    <i>It would always be like this. It was as if no matter how hard I tried, I would not be the one to be doted on.?</i>

    As for Lin Wei, even if she never returned to the Lin family, she seemed to be able to easily obtain the sincere love of others.

    Even someone like Lin Qingyuan would protect Lin Wei.

    In the backyard, Lin Qingyuan sat on a chair and poured a cup of tea for Lin Wei. ¡°How have you been recently?¡±

    ]Lin Wei¡¯s voice was very cold. ¡°It¡¯s still the same. What can happen?¡±

    ¡°Is this how you talk to your brother?¡± Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly. ¡°Speak properly.¡±

    ¡°Then are you doing your job properly?¡± Lin Wei red at him. ¡°Do you have to be so ruthless?¡±

    Lin Wei had always been in the military and did not know much about the family. She only knew after returning to the Lin family.

    Now, the entire Lin family had be Lin Qingyuan¡¯s ything.

    The other branches had all been removed from the main branch of the Lin family by Lin Qingyuan. Only the few of them were left in the entire Lin family. The others had either disappeared or died silently.

    Even though she was used to the filth of big families, Lin Wei did not expect Lin Qingyuan to be so ruthless and not let anyone off.

    Even if they were insensible children, Lin Qingyuan had forcefully sent them out of the country so that they could never return to China.

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. ¡°You¡¯re telling me about doing something? Back then, when I was chased out of the Lin family by them, why didn¡¯t you jump out and talk to the Lin family about their conscience?¡±

    Lin Wei was stunned by Lin Qingyuan¡¯s words. She did not know how to retort and could only look away, not wanting to argue with Lin Qingyuan.

    ¡°Say something.¡± Lin Qingyuan looked at Lin Wei. ¡°My dear sister, we haven¡¯t seen each other for so many years. Do you only criticize your brother? Or do you think those people who sent you to the military camp are closer to you, and me, your biological brother, is just a ruthless demon?¡±

    Lin Wei frowned. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. Why are you misinterpreting? I just think you went a little overboard.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan sneered. ¡°If I don¡¯t go overboard, how do you think you survived in the military camp? Do you really think that it¡¯s a purend?¡±

    lin Wei suddenly looked up. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Qingyuan threw a document in front of Lin Wei. ¡°These people from the Lin family never wanted us to survive. They¡¯ve always been waiting for an opportunity to kill us. Do you really think they¡¯re good people?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan and Lin Wei were born to the first wife of the eldest branch and had the first inheritance.

    However, at that time, the main house was in chaos and their mother had just died. Who would take these two babies seriously? Who knew how many hands were waiting to kill them in their swaddling clothes?

    Over the years, if not for Lin Qingyuan crawling out of hell himself, what awaited him would be a swamp that he would never be able to turn around.

    As for Lin Wei,

    the military camp seemed to be a safe ce, but be it inbat or training, there were countless opportunities to kill her.

    If not for Lin Qingyuan protecting her in secret, she would have died countless times as an adjutant.

    Looking at the document in her hand, Lin Wei¡¯s eyes were shocked. She looked up. ¡°But¡­¡±

    ¡°No buts.¡± Lin Qingyuan looked into Lin Wei¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s done is done. Either you don¡¯t acknowledge me as your brother and we¡¯ll cut ties from now on, or you stay in the Lin family and protect me. You know that the current Lin family is standing at the center of the storm. I don¡¯t know how many people want my head.¡±

    Lin Wei hesitated again and again, but in the end, she epted her fate. ¡°Where¡¯s my room?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan pointed at the backyard in satisfaction. ¡°Over there. The butler will bring you overter. Good sister, you didn¡¯t disappoint me.¡±

    After Lin Wei left, Su Yueran came over and looked at Lin Qingyuan respectfully. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan replied, ¡°Do you think you¡¯re useless?¡±

    Su Yueran gritted her teeth. ¡°I didn¡¯t do my job well.¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t say that.¡± Lin Qingyuan sized up Su Yueran, who was standing in front of him.

    Her figure was top-notch, and her face and temperament were one in a million. Back then, when he sent her to Beijing, Lin Qingyuan had high hopes.

    Initially, Lin Qingyuan felt that Su Yueran was not doing her job well, but after seeing Xia Wanyuan in person, Lin Qingyuan suddenly felt that Su Yueran could not be med.

    Not to mention Jun Shiling, even he could not help but be stunned by Xia Wanyuan.

    That temperament was really unparalleled and unique. It was only natural that Su Yueran could not win.

    Su Yueran was originally afraid that Lin Qingyuan would me her, but when she really saw Lin Qingyuan¡¯s matter-of-fact expression, Su Yueran felt very unconvinced.

    <i>Everyone felt that I am inferior to Xia Wanyuan. Why?</i>

    ¡°Young Master, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are in Lin Xi now. This is our territory. Isn¡¯t it much simpler to do many things?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan nced at Su Yueran. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re very smart?¡±

    Su Yueran bowed in fear. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I said the wrong thing.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. ¡°Alright, you can leave first. I¡¯ll think of something.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Su Yueran left the backyard. Looking at Su Yueran¡¯s back, Lin Qingyuan shook his head.

    He had originally thought that the person he had spent a lot of money to nurture was a king. Who would have thought that she was just a piece of scrap metal? It was really useless.

    Su Yueran left the backyard, the fear on her face instantly dissipating. How could she not tell that Lin Qingyuan was dissatisfied with her?

    Thinking of Lin Qingyuan¡¯s disdainful gaze, Su Yueran felt a sense of depression in her heart. She thought for a while and was still a little angry.

    Hence, Su Yueran called the undergroundwork in Linxi City. ¡°Hello, help me find someone.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked along the riverbank for about an hour before returning to their residence.

    Jun Shiling had a property here. It was located in the suburbs by the mountains and rivers. The scenery was beautiful.

    On the way up the mountain, he met a few acquaintances.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this CEO Jun? CEO Jun and I are really fated.¡± When Jiang Kui saw Jun Shiling, hostility shed across his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face. He waved at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Jiang Kui. ¡°CEO Jiang, you have quite a lot of family members.¡±

    This sentence made the smile on Jiang Kui¡¯s face dissipate.

    Jiang Kui had only wanted toe over himself this time, but Zou Man had been pestering him, so Jiang Kui¡¯s heart softened and he agreed.

    It was unknown where Liu Tanyu had heard the news, but she brought Xiao Yu along and pestered him every day, saying that the child could not leave his father. Jiang Kui could not reject Liu Tanyu and could only bring them over.

    In addition, Father Jiang had asked Jiang Yun toe and see the world.

    In that case, didn¡¯t he have a lot of family members?

    That was the truth, but when Jun Shiling said this, Jiang Kui felt that Jun Shiling was mocking his family rtionship.

    He red at Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with having more family members? Do I want to have fewer family members like CEO Jun?¡±

    These words were sharp and Xia Wanyuan was a little angry. She was about to say something when Jun Shiling stopped her.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan forward. When he brushed past Jiang Kui, Jun Shiling suddenly nced at Xiao Yu beside Jiang Kui. ¡°There¡¯s nothing bad about it. The more children, the better.¡±

    When Jun Shiling¡¯s wordsnded in Jiang Kui¡¯s ears, he felt ufortable.

    He still wanted to argue with Jun Shiling, but Jiang Yun said, ¡°Alright, stop embarrassing yourself. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve embarrassed yourself enough?¡±

    Jiang Kui looked at Jiang Yun angrily. ¡°What are you pretending for? Do you think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking? So what if you please Xia Wanyuan now? You still can¡¯t marry into the Xia family. Give up.¡±

    Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Kui coldly. ¡°Look at you now. Do you still look like the young master of the Jiang family?¡±

    ¡°If I don¡¯t look like it, do you?! That¡¯s right. I guess you¡¯ve long wanted to snatch the sessor position of the Jiang family. How about I give it to you?¡±

    ¡°Unreasonable.¡± Jiang Yun could not be bothered to argue with a lunatic like Jiang Kui.

    When she first returned to China, she already felt that Jiang Kui was very crazy. During this period of time, not only had Jiang Kui be even more extreme, but he could not evenmunicate.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan returned to the resort vi, guests came to look for her.

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, it was Jiang Yun.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Yun had long lost her initial hostility.

    Xia Wanyuan knew what Jiang Yun was going to ask. ¡°I¡¯m not very sure about Xia Yu¡¯s whereabouts.¡±

    Jiang Yun frowned. ¡°How can you not know? Did Xia Yu go on a very dangerous mission?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jiang Yun. ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve always been curious. What do you feel toward Xia Yu?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Jiang Yun¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°I¡¯m just concerned about a friend.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sized up Jiang Yun¡¯s expression. ¡°No matter what your motive is, I thank you. But I really don¡¯t know where Xia Yu is now. If hees back, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±

    ¡°Alright then, thank you.¡± Jiang Yun finally stopped thinking. She did not step into the door. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Watching Jiang Yun leave, Xia Wanyuan suddenly frowned.

    She could tell that Jiang Yun seemed to really care about Xia Yu, but these two people?

    The night deepened.

    This night was very ordinary for most people in China, but the entire Lin Xi was brightly lit.

    This was because almost everyone in the city was preparing for Lin Qingyuan¡¯s inauguration ceremony and wedding.

    Standing on the balcony and looking at the red light in the distance, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were deep. ¡°Such a beautiful light. What a pity.¡±

    If it was for the sake of having a lover, this light would definitely be the most beautiful.

    However, the two people who were forced together only made the light look a little resentful.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan from behind. ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go in and rest?¡±

    ¡°Have you found Wei Jin¡¯s hiding ce?¡±

    Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had been receiving all sorts of news on his phone every day. Xia Wanyuan guessed that they should be rted to the Wei family.

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here.¡±

    At this moment, there were cameras installed in every corner of the Wei family to ensure that no mosquito could escape the surveince cameras.

    When the guards changed shifts again, teams of people were handing in their work.

    At this moment, in the surveince room, all the cameras flickered for a second as if they had been disturbed by a signal.

    Just as the surveince staff was about to sound the rm, the cameras returned to normal, as if the sh just now was just an illusion.

    The staff scratched his head in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Am I seeing things?¡±

    With that, the staff stared seriously at all the surveince videos for a long time. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he began to suspect that he had been dizzy just now.

    ¡°I watched this every day, but no one came to steal anything. They insisted on me watching it every day. Now, my eyes are starting to blur. I¡¯ll drink some nutritional powder,¡± the staff muttered as he walked out with the cup.

    At this moment, the Wei family¡¯s backyard was so quiet that only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard.

    Wei Jin sat on the bed, feeling uneasy. Her mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts. At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the window.

    The lights in the room were switched off, and only the faint moonlight seeped in. Wei Jiny down carefully and reached under the pillow to hold the gun inside.

    The sound from the window continued. Wei Jin¡¯s heart was pounding. She held the gun nervously and aimed it at the window.

    The window seemed to have finally been pried open and opened a small gap. A figure crawled into the room sneakily from outside the window.

    Wei Jin was about to put her hand down when the moonlight shone on the figure¡¯s head. Wei Jin saw a reflection of silver light. Her eyes suddenly widened. She put down the gun and asked tentatively, ¡°Mu Feng?¡±

    ¡°Shh.¡± Mu Feng quickly shed to Wei Jin.

    His silver hair shone faintly under the moonlight, followed by the familiar faint smell of Mu Feng.

    Wei Jin¡¯s eyes turned red. She hurriedly lifted the nket and prepared to get out of bed, but Mu Feng had already hugged her.

    ¡°Mu Feng, sob, sob, you¡¯re finally here.¡± Burying herself in Mu Feng¡¯s arms and feeling the familiar warmth, Wei Jin felt that her already cold heart was filled with warmth again.

    ¡°Good girl.¡± Hearing Wei Jin¡¯s cries, Mu Feng¡¯s heart ached. He touched Wei Jin¡¯s hair. ¡°Stop crying. Let me take a look.¡±

    As he spoke, Mu Feng took out a small glowing gem and looked at Wei Jin quietly with the light of the gem.

    Compared to before, Wei Jin had lost a lot of weight. Her already sharp chin seemed to have her bones protruding out.

    Mu Feng touched Wei Jin¡¯s face with heartache. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I made you suffer.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Wei Jin shook her head.?<i>It was all my family¡¯s problem and had nothing to do with others.?</i>

    Mu Feng leaned over and kissed Wei Jin¡¯s face with endless longing.

    It had been a long time since she had seen Mu Feng. Although Wei Jin was shy, she let him go.

    Although Mu Feng missed Wei Jin very much, he gave up after kissing her twice. Now, there was something more important.

    Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin. ¡°I came with Jun Shiling and the rest. Listen to me¡­¡±

    Mu Feng patiently exined all the ns to Lin Qingyuan, then stroked Wei Jin¡¯s hair. ¡°Time is limited. It¡¯s almost time for the next shift to change. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll bring you back tomorrow.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. ¡°I understand. Be careful when you leave. The Wei family¡¯s security is very tight.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Mu Feng kissed the tears from the corners of Wei Jin¡¯s eyes dry, then turned and left, disappearing into the night.

    In the surveince room.

    The camera shed quickly. The staff who was eating instant noodles blinked and the entire scene returned to normal.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? The nutritional powder isn¡¯t working?¡± The staff scratched his head. ¡°I¡¯ll go and eat some vitamins tomorrow. There might be something wrong with my eyes.¡±

    In a hotel not far from the Wei family, looking at Mu Feng, who had finally returned safely, Lin Jing issued an order for everyone to return to their positions.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Mu Feng nodded at Lin Jing.

    ¡°Young Master Mu, you¡¯re too kind. I¡¯m also under CEO Jun¡¯s orders.¡± Lin Jing handed Mu Feng a room card. ¡°Young Master Mu, rest early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Mu Feng took the room card and returned to the room. Although he was tired, he was not sleepy at all.

    His heart ached when he thought of Wei Jin¡¯s hoarse voice. Wei Jin had suffered a lot when he was not around.

    In the Wei family, after just meeting Mu Feng, Wei Jin was also overwhelmed with emotions. Now, she could not sleep at all. She touched the ce on her face that Mu Feng had kissed and felt a little expectant.

    <i>No matter what happens tomorrow, Mu Feng is here.</i>

    Continent F.

    After a few days of recuperation and with Xia Yu¡¯s young age, his recovery speed was strong. Soon, the wounds on Xia Yu¡¯s body began to gradually heal. It was no longer like a few days ago when he began to bleed with a casual move.

    Stone brought water andpressed food over. ¡°Brother Xia Yu, this is for you.¡±

    Xia Yu nced at it. ¡°Isn¡¯t this thest biscuit left? Why are you giving it to me?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re injured. I¡¯m small, I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Stone pursed his lips and swallowed hard, but his hand remained in front of Xia Yu.

    ¡°No need. Split it into two. We¡¯ll each take half.¡± Xia Yu took the biscuit and broke it into two, then handed half of it to Stone. ¡°I know you¡¯re a good child, but if you don¡¯t eat, how will you have the strength to walkter?¡±

    Stone looked at Xia Yu in surprise. ¡°Are we leavingter?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu threw thepressed biscuit into his mouth. The dry texture choked Xia Yu¡¯s heart. ¡°It¡¯s been three days. We have to look for your Sister Lin Yi.¡±

    His wound was already slowly healing. It was time to set off.

    If they were anyter, they would probably not be able to catch up to Lin Yi and the rest.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone nodded obediently.

    Xia Yu felt a little strange. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid? Follow us in this bullet storm.¡±

    If it were an ordinary child, not to mention escaping with them, they would probably be so frightened that they could not walk at all.

    ¡°No.¡± Stone shook his head and looked at Xia Yu seriously. ¡°I have Daddy and Mommy protecting me, and you and Sister Lin Yi protecting me.¡±

    To Stone, after his parents died, Xia Yu was his support. As long as Xia Yu was around, Stone was not afraid of anything.

    ¡°Good child.¡± Xia Yu stroked Stone¡¯s head. ¡°Alright, eat quickly. After eating, we¡¯re going to find your Sister Lin Yi.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    At this moment, in the city 200 kilometers away from Xia Yu and the rest.

    Lin Yi was sitting by the bed and helping the person on the bed bandage his wound.

    ¡°How is he?¡± The leader looked at Lin Yi¡¯s professional skills and was satisfied.

    Although this woman had a tough personality and could not be beaten or touched, her medical skills were indeed not bad. Otherwise, he would have thrown her into the desert to feed the wolves.

    Lin Yi finished thest step of bandaging and tied the knot. ¡°The bullets have been taken out. As long as he recuperates well, he will recover in a while.¡±

    ¡°Okay, well done.¡± The leader looked at his subordinate lying on the bed and saw that his face was no longer as pale. ¡°What did you say you wanted to buy yesterday? Go buy it and get someone to follow you.¡±

    ¡°I need gauze and some medicine.¡±

    The leader did not understand the medicine Lin Yi was talking about. He waved his hand. ¡°Alright, stop talking to me here. Go and buy it. Xiao Wu, follow her.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    A tall and thin ck man followed Lin Yi out. Lin Yi walked to the pharmacy and bought a pile of medicine.

    The ck man watched her closely.

    Lin Yi had been looking for an opportunity, but she had no choice. She was about to return upstairs, but there was no opportunity.

    At that moment, a child suddenly fell beside Lin Yi. Lin Yi was shocked. When she reacted, he took his pulse and saw that a bullet had been fired at the child¡¯s leg.

    The bullet had been left inside for too long, and the child had lost a lot of blood.

    Looking at the bullet, Lin Yi could not help but shake her head. ¡°How young is he? They¡¯re really crazy.¡±

    With that, Lin Yi squatted down and wanted to clean the child¡¯s wound.

    Xiao Wu wanted to stop her, but Lin Yi pointed at the child.

    Xiao Wu took a look. The child had the same ck skin as him.

    In thisnd, whites had always been the top. Who would care about the lives of these people?

    Perhaps because Lin Yi¡¯s actions had moved him, Xiao Wu silently agreed to Lin Yi¡¯s actions.

    Lin Yi turned around and fed the child some of the medicine she had just bought.

    The wound on his leg was not deep. The bullet had only just grazed it, so it was very simple to deal with.

    The child had already woken up and was looking at Lin Yi in confusion.

    Because the wound stimted by the medicine was very painful, tears seeped out of the child¡¯s eyes.

    Lin Yi smiled at him and hummed a song as he bandaged his wound. ¡°Twinkle, twinkle, little stars. How I wonder what you are?¡±

    The child had never heard such a bad before. He was momentarily stunned and forgot the pain in his leg.

    Xiao Wu did not feel anything unusual. He only urged her in anguage that Lin Yi did not understand. ¡°Hurry up.¡±

    Lin Yi hummed as she bandaged it.

    By the time the wound was bandaged, the child had already remembered Lin Yi¡¯s song.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Yi stood up. ¡°Go up.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Wu left with Lin Yi. Behind him, the child looked at his bandaged wound and turned to walk home.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Lin Xi,

    Mu Ting sat on the sofa and replied to Zhang Yi¡¯s call impatiently, ¡°That¡¯s enough. I¡¯m here to attend a banquet. Why do you keep calling me every day?¡±

    Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly. ¡°Hubby, what are you talking about? I miss you, right? The child in my stomach misses you too. Last night, he even dreamed of me and said that he wanted to talk to Daddy.¡±

    The excuse was easy to use once, but after using it too many times, it became annoying.

    Mu Ting rolled his eyes. ¡°Then our son is really very busy. He enters your dream every day. If he misses me so much, why doesn¡¯t hee to my dream to see me?¡±

    Zhang Yi was speechless by Mu Ting¡¯s words.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m busy. Stop calling,¡± Mu Ting said and hung up impatiently.

    ¡°How annoying,¡± Mu Ting muttered.

    <i>Why didn¡¯t I realize that Zhang Yi was so annoying in the past? In the past, although Zhang Yi asionally made a fuss, she was still a good person overall. Now, she was really getting more and more impatient.?</i>

    ¡°CEO Mu.¡± At this moment, the secretary walked over and handed the document to Mu Ting.

    ¡°Is there any news of Mu Feng?¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling¡¯s people are guarding the hospital, so our people can¡¯t approach. However, we¡¯ve been monitoring the situation outside the hospital. Over the past few days, we haven¡¯t found any abnormalities. Young Master is still recuperating in the hospital, and the number of times the doctor goes in to check on him every day is very stable.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Mu Ting waved his hand. ¡°As long as Mu Feng doesn¡¯t cause any trouble.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± the secretary said and was about to leave.

    At this moment, Mu Ting stopped her. ¡°Xiao Li, when did youe to the Mu family?¡±

    The secretary turned around and lowered her head respectfully. ¡°CEO Mu, I camest year.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Mu Ting¡¯s eyes darted around the secretary. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I realize before that you¡¯re quite good-looking, Little Li?¡±

    The secretary looked up and smiled at Mu Ting. ¡°CEO Mu, you must be joking. You only see Madam in your eyes. How can you see small characters like us?¡±

    Mu Ting put down the document in his hand.

    As an adult, if he could not understand the hints in the secretary¡¯s eyes, he would have lived in vain for decades.

    Mu Ting waved at the secretary. ¡°Come here.¡±

    The secretary smiled and sat beside Mu Ting naturally. ¡°CEO Mu, will Madam call to control you tonight?¡±

    It would have been better if the secretary had not said this. Once he said this, Mu Ting thought of how Zhang Yi always controlled him.

    In the past, he felt that Zhang Yi was throwing a tantrum and gave in to her.

    However, recently, Mu Ting had been tortured by Zhang Yi¡¯s strong desire to control.

    He nced at the secretary¡¯s young face. ¡°Can¡¯t I just turn off my phone? Little Li, are you willing to give me a child?¡±

    The secretary was stunned and lowered her head shyly. Her eyes were filled with ecstasy. She had finally waited for this opportunity! ¡°CEO Mu, I¡¯m your secretary. Of course I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to do.¡±

    Mu Ting smiled and pulled the secretary over. The two of them instantlyy on the sofa.

    ¡­¡­..

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next day, at dawn, the Wei family had already begun to hustle.

    Ding Hui walked into Wei Jin¡¯s bedroom with a bitter expression. Seeing Wei Jin sitting in front of the dressing table and dressing up, pain shed across Ding Hui¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Wei Jin nced at Ding Hui. ¡°Since you know you¡¯ve let me down, why are you crying here? What¡¯s the point of repenting after what you¡¯ve done?¡±

    Ding Hui wiped her tears. ¡°I think that Young Master Lin treats you quite well. If you marry him, you won¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing. The Lin family¡¯s connections are simple. As Madam Lin, you¡¯re second only to him. I believe your life will definitely improve.¡±

    Wei Jin sneered. ¡°Is it fun to find excuses for yourself?¡±

    ¡°Mom thinks so from the bottom of her heart. Although what I did was wrong, I did it for your own good. Look at how glorious it is for you to marry over. Do you know how many people want to marry Young Master Lin but don¡¯t have this chance?¡±

    Wei Jin opened her mouth, revealing her scalded throat. ¡°Thank you, my biological mother, for personally pushing me into the fire pit.¡±

    Ding Hui was momentarily speechless. She, who was already used to being suppressed, subconsciously began to find excuses for Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Did you make him angry? Just don¡¯t mention your Mu Feng in front of him in the future. Young Master Lin looks gentle and elegant. If you don¡¯t provoke him, he definitely won¡¯t attack.¡±

    Wei Jin wanted tough when she heard this. She nced at Ding Hui.

    She was really too naive in the past. She had always thought that Ding Hui had been beaten up by Wei Zhong because Wei Zhong was crazy. Now, she felt that Ding Hui was also crazy.

    Neither of them could do without the other.

    One was tyrannical, and the other was willing to find excuses for the abuse.

    ¡°So? Do you think I should be like you and live a life of being beaten, scolded, tortured, and humiliated every day? Do I have to be grateful and thank him for making me the noble Mrs. Lin?¡±

    Ding Hui looked away. ¡°Anyway, Young Master Lin treats you quite well. You have to cherish him.¡±

    Wei Jin hadpletely lost her patience with Ding Hui. Even that trace of mother-daughter love hadpletely evaporated.

    In the past, she had fantasies about Ding Hui because they did not live together. She naturally thought that Ding Hui hated Wei Zhong and her life in the Wei family.

    Until she was kidnapped back to the Wei family, Wei Jin saw how Ding Hui hated Wei Zhong every day but had no choice but to rely on him.

    Only then did she understand that she had been too naive in the past.

    ¡°Cherish?¡± Wei Jin smiled mockingly. ¡°That¡¯s good? Then do you know how well Mu Feng treats me? He can wait for me downstairs for two hours without being impatient. Instead, he¡¯ll worry if I¡¯m tired from ss. He¡¯ll make food for me and won¡¯t even let me touch the bowl because his heart aches for my hand. He will¡­¡±

    ¡°Enough!!¡± Ding Hui suddenly roared at Wei Jin hysterically, her eyes filled with unconceble jealousy.

    Yes, jealousy.

    At this moment, Ding Hui was extremely jealous of her daughter.

    Before she arrived in Beijing, she did not really want to help Wei Zhong. At that time, she still had fantasies that she could get rid of everything in the Wei family.

    However, while taking care of Wei Jin,

    She had seen with her own eyes how Mu Feng doted on Wei Jin.

    It was aplete adoration, not like Wei Zhong, who always ordered and scolded her.

    Seeing the light in Mu Feng¡¯s eyes and the smile on Wei Jin¡¯s face,

    Ding Hui¡¯s heart waspletely twisted.

    She was unconvinced.

    She did not want Wei Jin to be happy. If she could not get it, why could her daughter get it?

    Hence, Ding Hui took the initiative to look for Wei Zhong and designed everything with him.

    Looking at Ding Hui¡¯s furious expression, Wei Jin smiled mockingly. ¡°I was too naive in the past. I even treated you as a mother.¡±

    Now that she thought about it, Ding Hui had only given birth to her and had never raised her. There was no mother-daughter rtionship between the two of them.

    It was all her wishful thinking.

    ¡°No matter what you say, you have to marry into the Lin family today. Don¡¯t even think about getting what I can¡¯t get in my life.¡± Ding Hui looked at Wei Jin fiercely, as if Wei Jin was the person she hated the most.

    Wei Jin turned her head away and ignored Ding Hui. The room fell into a deadlock.

    At this moment, Wei Zhong suddenly walked in from the door and scolded Ding Hui, ¡°It¡¯s a joyous day. What are you doing? You scared our precious daughter. Be careful or I¡¯ll beat you up.¡±

    Only then did Ding Hui retreat to the side.

    Wei Zhong walked forward. ¡°Alright, my good daughter, don¡¯t me your mother. What does a woman like her know? Pack up and prepare to go out.¡±

    With that, Wei Zhong waved his hand and two teams walked in.

    ¡°Help Miss dress up.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Guests had already arrived at the Lin family¡¯s door one after another.

    The Lin family did not invite many people this time. Only the backbone of the top families and higher-ups were qualified to receive the invitation sent by the Lin family.

    However, although there were not many people, the number of people who came was sufficient.

    Characters that could only be seen on television were now everywhere in the Lin family¡¯s mansion.

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and entered. Their outstanding looks immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    ¡°CEO Jun, long time no see. This is Madam Jun, right? This is the first time I¡¯ve seen her. She lives up to her reputation.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Minister Liu.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly, then introduced him to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°This is Minister Liu.¡±

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to get to know these people in the hall one by one and patiently introduced everyone¡¯s identity and family status to her.

    When the other nobledies saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s treatment, their hearts were filled with envy.

    ¡°Sigh, her life is so good. Can¡¯t she go and greet herself? CEO Jun even brought her around personally. If it were our family, I really don¡¯t dare to think about it.¡±

    ¡°How did she take care of her face? She¡¯s so beautiful.¡± A noblewoman looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face, her eyes filled with envy. ¡°Let alone Jun Shiling, I like that face too.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan sitting not far away to rest, some nobledies were eager to try and get close to her. They wanted to see how Xia Wanyuan maintained her face and where she did her beauty treatment. Perhaps she could even introduce one of them to them.

    However, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cold side profile, everyone felt a little timid.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan was famous for being cold. If she went and was embarrassed, how embarrassing would it be?

    Just as everyone was hesitating, Xia Wanyuan suddenly nced over with a smile in her eyes. It instantly made one feel that Xia Wanyuan was very easy to get along with and looked very kind to them!

    A bolddy tried to walk to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. ¡°Mrs. Jun, where did you buy this ne? It¡¯s so beautiful.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s at Su Fu Auction House. It should be in the same batch as the bracelet on your hand.¡±

    This time, the conversation began. The noblewomen squeezed to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side and began to chat with her.

    Xia Wanyuan was usually quiet and cold to people she was not familiar with.

    However, for the people she wanted to get close to, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s social skills could be considered full marks.

    After all, everyone in politics was good at winning people over.

    And Xia Wanyuan had done it to the extreme.

    Xia Wanyuan knew everything. Her words made one feelfortable. In addition, she spoke skillfully, making one feel that she had been praised but not that Xia Wanyuan had done it on purpose.

    Not long after, the people surrounding Xia Wanyuan had heartfelt smiles on their faces.

    Not far away, Jiang Kui felt a toothache as he watched Xia Wanyuanugh and glory. He could not help butpare Zou Man to Xia Wanyuan. He immediately felt a toothache. He nced at Zou Man. ¡°What are you doing here? There are so many nobles here. Can¡¯t you help me expand my connections?¡±

    Although the women here did not have any real power outside, pillow wind had always been easy to blow.

    If she could build a good rtionship with these nobledies, it would save him a lot of trouble.

    Zou Man sat still. She rolled her eyes in her heart, but she had a gentle smile on her face. ¡°I¡¯ll go in a while. I just drank a mouthful of cold water. My stomach hurts a little now.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Kui put down his cup. ¡°Then sit here for a while. I¡¯ll talk to someone.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Zou Man nodded obediently.

    After Jiang Kui left, Zou Man nced at Xia Wanyuan with disdain.

    In the past, she might have tried to get close to the nobledies for Jiang Kui¡¯s career.

    Now? She could not wait to see the Jiang family go bankrupt.?<i>Expand his connections? Dream on!?</i>

    In less than half an hour, most of the noblewomen present had already treated Xia Wanyuan as an especially good friend.

    Seeing Jun Shilinge to look for Xia Wanyuan, the madams looked at her teasingly.

    ¡°Wanyuan, when we return to Beijing, I¡¯ll treat you to our chef¡¯s special dishes.¡±

    ¡°Wanyuan, when you have the chance, let me see you draw. I¡¯m curious how much our old master likes your painting and calligraphy.¡±

    ¡°Wanyuan, we agreed to eat with me when we get back. My son likes you very much and treats you like a goddess. As a mother, he won¡¯t listen to anything I say, but if you say anything, in my son¡¯s eyes, it¡¯s a golden rule.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and greeted everyone. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Everyone left reluctantly and gave their seats to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling smiled and sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Tsk.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°What are you trying to say again?¡±

    Jun Shiling poured a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Why is my wife so beautiful?¡±

    Jun Shiling could imagine Xia Wanyuan¡¯s domineering appearance in her previous life.

    There was nothing she could not win over. It was only if she wanted to.

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Jun Shiling. ¡°We¡¯re outside. Can you be more serious?¡±

    Jun Shiling held her hand. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan was not a social person.

    She was willing to talk to these nobledies and get close to them because she wanted to help him.

    Although the Jun family was very powerful, no matter how powerful a family was, it was impossible for them to advance alone.

    ¡°I don¡¯t especially dislike socializing.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Actually, those madams are quite interesting.¡±

    In fact, the nobledies who could stand in this hall were mostly people from noble families. She did not feel very bored chatting with them.

    ¡°Do you want a cupcake?¡± Jun Shiling took out a palm-sized box from his pocket.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Where did you get it?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and opened the box. Inside was a very small piece of mousse cake. ¡°I went out to get it just now. I¡¯ve tried the cake here. It¡¯s a little too sweet. I don¡¯t think you like it. I got someone to make a new one and sent it over.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked around. Many people¡¯s gazes were already on them.

    Xia Wanyuan blushed. ¡°If you do this, people willugh at us.¡±

    Jun Shiling said righteously, ¡°What are theyughing at? I dote on my wife. Who has any objections?¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of cake for Xia Wanyuan. She could only eat it.

    Jun Shiling was right. Not only did the others have no objections, but they were also extremely envious.

    Many nobledies were thinking that they still had to ask Xia Wanyuan for guidanceter. How could they make their husbands dote on them so much?

    Usually, suchrge family activities were held on time.

    Especially an old family like the Wei and Lin families that valued traditional etiquette.

    Every minute and second was almost calcted ording to the time because they were particr about an auspicious day, a bright and beautiful time.

    However, something was wrong today.

    Everyone had been waiting in the hall for a long time. Seeing that they were about to miss the best time, Lin Qingyuan still did note out, and no one from the Lin family appeared.

    At that moment, in the Lin family¡¯s backyard, Su Yueran was wearing an exquisite gown, her face filled with surprise. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Just now, she had prepared everything, but she suddenly received a message from Lin Qingyuan asking her to rush to the backyard.

    When she rushed to Lin Qingyuan, she happened to see him p Lin Wei.

    ¡°You¡¯re really good.¡± The veins on Lin Qingyuan¡¯s forehead twitched. He had used all his strength to hit Lin Wei.

    Lin Wei¡¯s face quickly swelled up. She tilted her head. ¡°Brother, why must you do this? You clearly know that Wei Jin is from the Mu family.¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Lin Qingyuan pped Lin Wei again. This time, it was even more ruthless. Blood seeped out of the corners of Lin Wei¡¯s lips.

    Lin Wei gritted her teeth and did not speak. A look of satisfaction shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes.

    <i>Good p!</i>

    However, on the surface, Su Yueran was stillforting Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Brother, what did Sister do wrong? Why are you hitting her like this?¡±

    ¡°What mistake did she make?¡± Lin Qingyuan was so angry that his hands were trembling. ¡°She cooperated with outsiders and let Wei Jin go!¡±

    When she said this, Su Yueran was shocked. ¡°How is that possible? Isn¡¯t the defense strict?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan had long expected that something might happen today, so he set up countless checkpoints and security guards with the Wei family.

    <i>How could a person escape under such circumstances? How was that possible?</i>

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes were gloomy.

    He had indeed done all the security work, but he had ignored one thing.

    On the way from the Wei family to the Lin family, the security was so tight that not even a mosquito could fly out. However, he ignored someone in the Lin family.

    That was Lin Wei.

    Lin Wei had been in the military camp for so long and knew all sorts of cracking techniques. She also knew how to avoid the surveince cameras and go where she wanted.

    However, Lin Qingyuan still could not figure out why Lin Wei would help Wei Jin.

    <i>Do they know each other??</i>

    ¡°When did you know Wei Jin?¡± Lin Qingyuan red at Lin Wei.

    Lin Wei shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡±

    ¡°Impossible. If I don¡¯t know you, why would I help her?¡± Lin Qingyuan thought for a while and suddenly had an unlikely guess. ¡°Could it be that you know Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    Lin Wei shook her head. ¡°How is that possible? I¡¯ve always been in the southwest.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan also felt that it was impossible. ¡°Then why did you help her?¡±

    ¡°I just can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡± Lin Wei did not want to exin further. ¡°That¡¯s all. You can do whatever you want to me.¡±

    Looking at Lin Wei¡¯s sorry state, a gloating glint shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes.

    <i>Serves you right.</i>

    She was so smug that she forgot that Lin Qingyuan was the most observant. With a casual nce, Lin Qingyuan understood Su Yueran¡¯s thoughts.

    However, at this moment, Lin Qingyuan did not have the mood to pursue Su Yueran.

    The inauguration ceremony was imminent. After the inauguration ceremony was the wedding. The wedding invitation had been sent out.

    The most important thing now was that he needed a bride, a woman who could stop the crowd.

    <i>Who should I choose??</i>

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze shifted and suddenlynded on Su Yueran.

    Su Yueran was originally secretlyughing at Lin Wei¡¯s sorry state in her heart when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked up and saw Lin Qingyuan¡¯s meaningful gaze.

    Su Yueran had a bad feeling. Her eyes widened. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m from the Lin family!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not biological.¡± Lin Qingyuan nced at her with disdain in his eyes.

 Chapter 1173 - Wedding

    <h4>Chapter 1173: Wedding</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Su Yueran was indeed not the Lin family¡¯s biological daughter.

    Even the Lin family did not know who her biological parents were.

    Back then, they had brought Su Yueran back purely because when Father Lin and Mother Lin went to attend a public service event,

    in a welfare home, Su Yueran hugged Mother Lin¡¯s leg tightly after seeing her. She did not let go no matter what others said. In the end, Mother Lin had no choice but to bring her back to the Lin family.

    Anyway, the Lin family did notck that bit of money. At most, it was just another bowl at the dining table. Just like that, Su Yueran was raised by the Lin family.

    Later on, Lin Qingyuan contacted Su Yueran and made her his sharp knife in Beijing.

    ording to Lin Qingyuan¡¯s n, he wanted Su Yueran to seduce Jun Shiling.

    However, Su Yueran was useless and could notplete the mission.

    Since this knife could not be used in Beijing, it was time for her toe back.

    Su Yueran knew how terrifying Lin Qingyuan was. How could she be willing to follow him? She shook her head violently. ¡°Brother, Young Master, I can¡¯t. I still have to return to Beijing. I still have a lot of work over there.¡±

    It was fine if Su Yueran did not say anything, but once she did, Lin Qingyuan felt that it was more suitable.

    Any other person would not have any excuse to return to Beijing, but Su Yueran was different. She was a celebrity in the entertainment industry, and all her work was in Beijing.

    If he made her his wife, he could let Su Yueran go out openly, and his activities in Beijing would be more convincing.

    Looking at the growing light in Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes, Su Yueran¡¯s heart was filled with despair. She knelt on the ground weakly. ¡°Young Master, I¡¯m really not suitable.¡±

    ¡°Get up,¡± Lin Qingyuan shouted at Su Yueran, who hurriedly stood up.

    ¡°Go and put on the spare gown immediately.¡±

    As soon as Lin Qingyuan finished speaking, a servant walked in and took Su Yueran away.

    Lin Wei looked at this ridiculous scene and felt sad.

    Su Yueran was always scheming against others. Now, she had even schemed against herself.

    Su Yueran was taken away with a sad expression.

    Lin Qingyuan tidied his clothes and instructed the servants, ¡°Inform the people in front that we can start preparing for the ceremony.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Before Lin Qing left, he nced at Lin Wei. ¡°Make up an excuse for me here. If I¡¯m not satisfied with it, see how I deal with you.¡±

    With that, Lin Qingyuan strode away.

    He was not stupid. It was impossible for Lin Wei to send Wei Jin away alone.

    The Lin family had a camera for every three steps. It was simply impossible for Lin Wei to send Wei Jin away alone.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan must be behind this.

    Hence, he did not want to look for Wei Jin anymore because it was impossible to find her. She must have been transferred away by Jun Shiling.

    The most important thing now was to resolve the matters in the front hall and sessfullyplete the session ceremony.

    In the front hall, after Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan the cake, his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the message, a hint of satisfaction shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    He leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and said something. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression became a little happy.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes.

    Jun Shiling took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. ¡°You only praise me when you need me. You don¡¯t usually praise me.¡±

    ¡°I usually praise you too.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    As the two of them were talking, there was amotion at the door. Lin Qingyuan had brought people in.

    Even though Lin Qingyuan was already trying his best to suppress his expression, one could still see the coldness in his body and the gloominess in his eyes.

    ¡°Congrattions, Young Master Lin. Oh, I should be able to call you Master Lin now.¡± Everyone congratted Lin Qingyuan.

    Lin Qingyuan nodded at everyone and walked up to Jun Shiling, his eyes filled with anger.

    He calmed down and looked at Jun Shiling with a smile. ¡°CEO Jun, good move.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded slightly. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan felt a breath of rust rise from his chest. He took a deep breath to suppress this difort.

    Lin Qingyuan turned around and informed the butler, ¡°Begin the ceremony.¡±

    Soon, all the elders of the Lin family arrived.

    Under the witness of his ancestors, Lin Qingyuan took over the iron ring that represented his identity as the head of the Lin family and inherited the jade seal that had been in the Lin family for hundreds of years.

    With a drumbeat, Lin Qingyuan officially became the current head of the Lin family.

    Xia Wanyuan watched from afar, curious about how Jun Shiling had inherited the position of head of the family back then. ¡°Sigh, was it so difficult for you to inherit the Jun family back then?¡±

    She felt that this scene was almostparable to Emperor Yuan¡¯s ascension to the throne.

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m not thatme.¡±

    The Jun family was not as intense as the Lin family, and Jun Shiling was not as illegitimate as Lin Qingyuan.

    From the moment Jun Shiling was born, he was definitely the future sessor of the Jun family.

    No one could threaten his status, so his session was reasonable.

    However, Lin Qing was far different. He did not have a proper name.

    A year ago, no one would have thought that a child who had been exiled from the Lin family would return to the Lin family twenty yearster and snatch the throne of the Lin family¡¯s sessor.

    Hence, Lin Qingyuan especially needed everyone¡¯s witness to let everyone know that he had be the head of the Lin family.

    Because he did not have the confidence, he was even more ostentatious.

    Jun Shiling whispered the rtionship to Xia Wanyuan, who nodded. ¡°Alright, fortunately, you¡¯re not like this. It¡¯s a little exaggerated.¡±

    Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, causing her to re coquettishly.

    While the two of them were whispering, Lin Qingyuan had alreadypleted all the rituals.

    Lin Qingyuan put the iron ring on his index finger and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°I believe everyone has received my wedding invitation. Today is not only my sessor¡¯s day, but also my wedding day.¡±

    The moment he said this, a happy smile appeared on Wei Zhong¡¯s face. He nodded at the surrounding people, almost writing ¡°I¡¯m the father-inw of the Lin family¡± on his forehead.

    ¡°However, I have a small mistake to remind everyone here,¡± Lin Qingyuan said and took a wedding invitation from his assistant. ¡°Due to the staff¡¯s mistake, the photo was printed wrongly. Now, the staff will send the correct wedding invitation to everyone.¡±

    After Lin Qingyuan finished speaking, the staff began to distribute new invitations to the guests.

    Everyone looked at each other.

    Everyone could tell that this waspletely an excuse.?<i>What kind of joke was this? How could the wedding photo of the head of the Lin family be printed wrongly?</i>

    However, at this moment, no one was stupid enough to stand up and retort.

    After all, it did not matter who the bride was. What was important was that today¡¯s wedding was definitely a marriage between the Lin family and the Wei family.

    As long as the bride had the Wei family¡¯s name, it did not matter who she was.

    Xia Wanyuan received a new wedding invitation. When she opened it, surprise shed across her eyes. ¡°Su Yueran?¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over to take a look. ¡°Lin Qingyuan is really quite ruthless.¡±

    In order not to embarrass himself, he casually grabbed someone to make up the numbers.

    The others also saw the bride¡¯s photo. When Wei Zhong saw Su Yueran¡¯s photo, he felt that the sky had darkened.

    <i>Where was Wei Jin? Hadn¡¯t Wei Jin been sent out of the Wei family? Where was she??</i>

    Wei Zhong had countless questions to ask, but at this moment, in front of everyone, Wei Zhong could only maintain his smile.

    Because the bride¡¯s name was Wei Jin.

    Since it was Wei Jin, she was a member of his Wei family. He could not let anyone see through him.

    The Lin family followed traditional etiquette, so the wedding was Chinese.

    While everyone was whispering to each other withplicated expressions, the bride had already entered.

    Su Yueran was covered in a red veil and walked in surrounded by everyone.

    Lin Qingyuan walked forward and grabbed the other end of the red silk, slowly holding Su Yueran¡¯s hand.

    Lin Qingyuan gave Wei Zhong a look, and Wei Zhong sat at the top.

    ¡°First, bow to the world. Second, bow to the heavens. Husband and wife bow to each other.¡±

    After three bows, the ceremony wasplete.

    Lin Qingyuan got someone to send Su Yueran to the backyard while he stayed to entertain the guests.

    While the Lin family was holding a banquet for the guests, all sorts of news had already flown out.

    It was three in the afternoon. When the students began ss and the working party began to work,

    Weibo exploded.

    The topic ¡°Su Yueran getting married¡± immediately exploded on Weibo.

    Everyone was shocked when they saw this news and suspected that they had seen wrongly.

    When they looked at it again, Weibo had already fallen into paralysis.

    The programmers who were enjoying a rare spring outing in the suburbs were caught off guard by this news and cried.

    <i>Boohoo, programmers are too difficult. Why is there such big news for no reason?! Can you give us a break!?</i>

    Ten minutester, after all sorts of maintenance, Weibo finally returned to normal.

    The first ce was Su Yueran¡¯s Weibo.

    @ Su Yueran: ¡°Thank you, everyone. I¡¯m married. @ Lin Qingyuan.¡±

    [ F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, what¡¯s going on?!! Did time transmigrate when I wasn¡¯t paying attention? Didn¡¯t Su Yueran juste back from filming? Why is she suddenly getting married? ]

    [ I¡¯m shocked. I¡¯m a little blinded by this melon. What¡¯s with the name on this marriage certificate? Who is Wei Jin? Why did Su Yueran say she was married? ]

    [F*ck, I want to see who stole my goddess!! Return my goddess to me!]

    Under the rapid gathering of theizens, soon, an industry insider gave aplete melon chain.

    <i>¡°ording to insiders, Su Yueran is actually from the Wei family. Her original name is Wei Jin, and she entered the entertainment industry under the alias Su Yueran. As for Lin Qingyuan, he¡¯s even more legendary. You know that thergest family in the south is the Lin family, right??</i>

    Lin Qingyuan is the head of the Lin family and has just taken over. The current situation is that the Lin family, the Wei family, and Lin Qingyuan are married to Su Yueran. It seems that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling even attended the wedding.¡±

    The industry insider also attached a few photos of the wedding venue.

    In the photo, Su Yueran¡¯s face was covered by a red veil, but Lin Qingyuan, who was standing at the side, was tall and handsome, exuding a refined aura.

    In some background photos, one could even see Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling was holding a spoon and feeding Xia Wanyuan cake mouthful by mouthful.

    [¡­ Is this dog food doubleyered? Xia Wanyuan, what are you doing!!! Can you respect us single dogs! Is it really okay to show off your love in someone else¡¯s background?]

    [ What did Xia Wanyuan eat? It looks so delicious. Ah, no, my focus on melon seems to be a little off. What the hell? Why did Su Yueran suddenly be the daughter of the Wei family? She even became the mistress of the Lin family? ]

    [I feel that this melon is too high-end. I don¡¯t even dare to eat it. I just want to ask if eating the Lin family¡¯s melon will be canceled? I¡¯m a country bumpkin and have never seen such a big world.]

    The news of Su Yueran¡¯s sudden marriage instantly became the biggest melon on Weibo.

    Immediately after,

    ¡°Su Yueran Wei family¡±, ¡°Lin Qingyuan¡±, ¡°Lin Qingyuan Su Yueran¡±, and other topics appeared on the trending list one after another. Even Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were on the trending list again.

    While skinning the Wei family¡¯s background, someizens suddenly realized that

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to be rted to the Wei family.

    Furthermore, it was not a small matter.

    Back then, Jun Shiling had deliberately suppressed the news that Xia Wanyuan was in charge of the Wei family, so no media reported it.

    However, there were many people attending Old Madam Wei¡¯s birthday banquet at that time. There were many people and there were many mouths. It was not a secret in the noble circle in Beijing that Xia Wanyuan was the granddaughter of the Wei family.

    At this moment, while analyzing the Wei family, theizens were eating melons when they saw the familiar Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°ording to a reliable analysis, the Wei family was divided into two back then. One was the Wei family in the south, and the other was the Wei family in Beijing.

    Now, Su Yueran belongs to the Wei family in the south, and Xia Wanyuan is actually the head of the Wei family in Beijing. I¡¯m shocked. A domineering female CEO CEO?¡±

    [So Xia Wanyuan is the current head of the Wei family in Beijing? Oh, cool! She¡¯s indeed my goddess. She¡¯s so amazing in everything.]

    [ Ahhh, let me imagine Xia Wanyuan sitting in the hall and controlling the family matters. How can this woman be so cool? She¡¯s so cool! ]

    [ Are you all saying that Xia Wanyuan is handsome? Am I the only one who feels that Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran¡¯s rtionship is very subtle? One is a member of the Wei family in the south, and now she has be the mistress of the Lin family. Xia Wanyuan is the head of the Wei family in Beijing and the mistress of the Jun family. These two people¡­ Hiss, what a scene. ]

    Not only was Su Yueran¡¯s wedding in front, but there was also Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship with the Wei family. Mixed in were the subtle fights between Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan, and some public disys of love between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, Weibo waspletely immersed in the joy of theizens.

    Netizens:?<i>I¡¯m just a quail jumping up and down in the melon field. Why are there so many melons? Is today a special day?</i>

    Some bored and curiousizens specially went to investigate and came to a conclusion.

    Today happened to be the 100th anniversary of Mr. Lu Xun¡¯s ¡°Home¡±, which was Mi¡¯s 100th birthday, so today was the banquet.

 Chapter 1174 - Sweet, Sweet; CEO Jun Was Chased Out

    <h4>Chapter 1174: Sweet, Sweet; CEO Jun Was Chased Out</h4>

    No matter how big themotion on the Inte, no matter how much controversy,

    It was an undeniable fact that Su Yueran had be Wei Jin and married Lin Qingyuan.

    The Lin family.

    After the guests dispersed, everyone left the Lin family after the wedding banquet.

    Lin Qingyuan returned to the bedroom drunk. Su Yueran was sitting by the bed, her shoulders trembling as if she was crying.

    !!

    Malice shed across Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Why are you crying? Is it unfair for you to marry me?¡±

    Su Yueran stopped crying and pursed her lips. ¡°Master, no.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan walked over and pulled off the red veil on Su Yueran¡¯s head.

    Her face under the veil, her eyebrows and lips were red, and she was as beautiful as jade.

    Unfortunately, the beauty¡¯s face was wet with tears.

    Su Yueran could not avoid Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze. Her eyshes trembled. ¡°Patriarch.¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qingyuan pulled Su Yueran over and pressed her down on the bed.

    Lin Qingyuan looked at Su Yueran¡¯s resistance and his heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°You don¡¯t want to marry me either? Wei Jin doesn¡¯t want to marry me either. Why? Do you all look down on me?¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s back hurt from Lin Qingyuan¡¯s fall, but she could not speak at this moment and could only groan in pain.

    Lin Qingyuan was drunk and felt that he was holding Wei Jin.

    He held Wei Jin¡¯s neck tightly. ¡°Why won¡¯t you marry me? Hmm? Why?¡±

    ¡°Let go of me.¡± Su Yueran struggled to leave.

    However, under such circumstances, Su Yueran¡¯s struggle only increased Lin Qingyuan¡¯s excitement.

    Lin Qingyuan reached out and tore Su Yueran¡¯s clothes, then leaned down.

    ¡°No...¡±

    However, how could Su Yueran¡¯s strength resist the strength of an adult man?

    Soon, only Su Yueran¡¯s sobs were left in the house.

    In the dead of the night, the drunk Lin Qingyuan finally woke up. He felt a headache and reached out to rub his head before sitting up.

    When he got up, he realized that he was naked. Lin Qingyuan looked to the side.

    Su Yueran was sleeping beside him with a face full of tears.

    Displeasure shed across Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes. He lifted the nket and left the room.

    After Lin Qingyuan left, Su Yueran, who was originally sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes.

    She sat up and exhaled deeply, her eyes filled with hatred.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, the vi at the foot of the mountain was peaceful.

    Wei Jin leaned against Mu Feng and felt as happy as if she had survived a cmity.

    ¡°Cousin, thank you.¡± Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan, her eyes filled with gratitude.

    Xia Wanyuan pointed at Jun Shiling. ¡°He helped you. I was just assisting.¡±

    Wei Jin stood up and bowed to Jun Shiling. ¡°Thank you, Cousin-inw.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve been tired for the entire day. Go up and rest early.¡± Xia Wanyuan saw that Mu Feng¡¯s eyes were almost glued to Wei Jin and was amused. She did not want to dy the couple¡¯s reunion.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin held Mu Feng¡¯s hand and walked upstairs.

    ¡°The Wei family shouldn¡¯te and find trouble with Wei Jin again, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan took a bite of the orange and looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Wei Zhong shouldn¡¯t.¡± Jun Shiling thought for a while. ¡°After all, what he wants is the Lin family¡¯s resources. As for Lin Qingyuan, it¡¯s hard to say.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan looked very normal, but ording to the information Jun Shiling had obtained, he did not seem normal.

    No one could guess what a lunatic was thinking.

    At this moment, upstairs, Wei Jin had just pulled Mu Feng into the house when Mu Feng locked the door.

    Wei Jin turned around in surprise, but Mu Feng pushed her against the door.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wei Jin was held against the door by Mu Feng. She felt that her surroundings had been tainted by Mu Feng¡¯s aura. It was so thick that she could not breathe.

    ¡°Ah Jin.¡± Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin seriously. His silver hair fell on his shoulders, making him look devilish and handsome.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Wei Jin¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have seen the mes rising in Mu Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I can¡¯t wait,¡± was all Mu Feng said.

    Before Wei Jin could understand what he meant, Mu Feng picked her up.

    By the time Wei Jin knew what Mu Feng meant, it was already toote.

    Wei Jin pushed Mu Feng. ¡°Cousin and the rest are still down there.¡±

    Mu Feng leaned over and kissed Wei Jin¡¯s neck. ¡°Be quiet, it¡¯s okay.¡±

    ¡°....¡±

    Mu Feng thought that Wei Jin would reject him. He had already thought of all sorts of reasons to see if he could coax Wei Jin to agree.

    Unexpectedly, Wei Jin closed her eyes and opened them again. Then, she looked at Mu Feng seriously. ¡°Alright.¡±

    ¡°You agreed?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Jin nodded, but she had never experienced it before after all. She was a little shy. ¡°Anyway, we¡¯ve already registered our marriage.¡±

    With that, Wei Jin snuggled into Mu Feng¡¯s arms shyly.

    Her kitten-like actions immediately pleased Mu Feng. Mu Feng held Wei Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°In the future, we won¡¯t be separated anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Jin looked at Mu Feng, her eyes shining.

    The moonlight shone gently on the ground. A breeze blew over, and the branches by the window ovepped with each other, slowly swaying along with the traces of the breeze.

    Downstairs, Xia Wanyuan was a little full after eating an orange. ¡°I want to go out for a walk.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    There was a famous resort hotel on the mountain here. Coincidentally, Xuan Sheng and the rest were staying in this hotel.

    Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan for a while and met Xuan Sheng, who was smoking, at a corner.

    Xuan Sheng leaned against a rock with a cigarette in his mouth. The fire was clearly extinguished, making Xuan Sheng¡¯s exquisite side profile look a little lonely.

    Hearing themotion, Xuan Sheng looked up. His eyes lit up when he saw Xia Wanyuan. When he saw the person Xia Wanyuan was holding, the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°What a coincidence. I didn¡¯t follow you over.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smelled a trace of smoke. When she approached, she saw the cigarette butt in Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have gastric problems? Why are you smoking?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xuan Sheng nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Tsk, your husband is still standing beside me. Why are you so openly concerned about me? Aren¡¯t you afraid that your husband will misunderstand?¡±

    Although he said that, Xuan Sheng still threw the cigarette butt aside and crushed it with his foot.

    ¡°CEO Jun is very generous.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°I¡¯m very petty.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan secretly scratched Jun Shiling¡¯s palm, and Jun Shiling¡¯s expression softened a little.

    Xuan Sheng nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m a little bored. One of you stay and talk to me for a while.¡±

    As soon as Xuan Sheng finished speaking, Jun Shiling stood up. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wait for me at the pavilion over there.¡±

    There were lights at the pavilion, and all the other people taking a walk were resting there.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Before Xia Wanyuan left, she squeezed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand, signaling him not to embarrass himself.

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow at Xia Wanyuan, who smiled and left.

    Xuan Sheng nced at Jun Shiling in disdain. ¡°Is there a point in being clingy?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked to Xuan Sheng¡¯s side. ¡°Are you envious?¡±

    Xuan Sheng scoffed but did not answer.

    How could he not be envious? His heart ached from envy.

    ¡°So? Are you here to show off?¡±

    ¡°I never felt that she was a tool for me to show off.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan, who was not far away.

    The light shone on her from afar, giving her a golden glow.

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xuan Sheng turned to look at Jun Shiling and caught the emotions in his eyes. ¡°At least she has good taste.¡±

    Jun Shiling retracted his gaze. ¡°Do you still have cigarettes?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at him. ¡°Yes, but don¡¯t me me if she scolds youter.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Jun Shiling took the cigarette and took a puff.

    He rarely smoked. For some reason, he suddenly had an idea today.

    He had never been a pretentious person, but when he saw Xuan Sheng smoking just now,

    Jun Shiling suddenly imagined how he would feel if he and Xuan Sheng were in a different ce.

    In the end, his heart ached when he thought about it. It seemed like he could only use the smell of the smoke to numb himself.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Xuan Sheng exhaled and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Alright, go back early. You don¡¯t have to be sad because of a love rival like me, right? Don¡¯t let others misunderstand that there¡¯s something between us.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Your Xuan family has begun toe into contact with me about energy projects.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Xuan Sheng was a little surprised. ¡°They attacked so quickly.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xuan Sheng nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°Consider that I owe you a favor. I¡¯ll pay you back in the future.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Jun Shiling stubbed out his cigarette and left, walking towards Xia Wanyuan.

    In the pavilion, Xia Wanyuan was looking at the stars. Jun Shiling walked over and stroked her head. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°You smoked?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze shifted slightly. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Liar.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and sniffed Jun Shiling. As expected, she smelled thick smoke.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯m tired. Let¡¯s go back to sleep.¡±

    ¡°Why are you smoking? Are you in a bad mood?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. Jun Shiling was not someone who liked to smoke.

    ¡°I just tasted it. Why do you have so many questions?¡± Jun Shiling squatted down in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come up, I¡¯ll carry you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to let Jun Shiling carry her now. She walked around Jun Shiling unhappily and walked straight forward. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to say it, then don¡¯t. Why are you so fierce? I won¡¯t care about you anymore.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood rooted to the ground and recalled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s angry expression. He was a little amused.

    Xia Wanyuan walked for a while herself and suddenly realized that Jun Shiling did not follow. She paused for a moment and finally secretly looked back.

    Then, she saw Jun Shiling standing on the spot and smiling at her.

    Xia Wanyuan was even angrier. She turned around.<i> This was too much. Not only was he fierce to her, but he was also teasing me. He was clearly standing on the spot waiting for me to turn around. </i>

    However, after taking two steps, Xia Wanyuan was grabbed by Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan swung her arm but did not shake it off. ¡°What? Didn¡¯t you tell me not to control you?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Do you know?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan was attracted by Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    ¡°You have a trait that¡¯s very simr to Jun Yin.¡±

    ¡°What characteristics?¡± Xia Wanyuan was attracted by Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    Jun Shiling reached out and poked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dimples. ¡°When Jun Yin is angry, his cheeks are puffed up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not have this habit in the past, but she had probably lived with Jun Yin for a long time and slowly developed this habit.

    As long as she was angry, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cheeks would bulge slightly, like an angry hamster. She was extremely cute.

    Hence, during this period of time, Jun Shiling liked to anger Xia Wanyuan when he had the chance.

    It was not his fault. It was mainly because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s angry look was too fun.

    Catching the smile in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was even angrier. ¡°So you deliberately made me angry?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Who said that? I didn¡¯t mean it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a deep breath. ¡°Very good.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan did not argue with Jun Shiling anymore and walked straight forward.

    ¡°Alright, I was wrong.¡± Jun Shiling smiled and followed.

    Xia Wanyuan replied calmly, her emotions unreadable.

    Jun Shiling thought that Xia Wanyuan had calmed down. He followed Xia Wanyuan and tried to tell her something, and Xia Wanyuan responded.

    When they returned home, Jun Shiling followed Xia Wanyuan into the bedroom.

    Just as he walked to the door, Xia Wanyuan suddenly looked at him. ¡°Help me get a ss of water.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling had just turned around when the bedroom door closed. What followed was the sound of a lock being locked.

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling knocked on the door. ¡°I was wrong. I was wrong, okay? How can you not let me in like this?¡±

    At the same time, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang.

    He opened it and saw that it was a message from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sleep in the living room.¡±

    ¡°....¡±

    Jun Shiling replied to Xia Wanyuan with an ¡°I was wrong¡± emoticon, then shook his head and walked downstairs helplessly.

    <i>I¡¯m afraid I can only make do in the living room tonight.</i>

    Two hourster, the bedroom door still opened.

    Xia Wanyuan walked down quietly with a nket in her hand.

    Although it was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s idea to let Jun Shiling sleep in the living room, on the other hand, she was worried that Jun Shiling would freeze.

    After all, the temperature at the foot of the mountain was still very low. It was spring now, and the heater in the room had stopped.

    Xia Wanyuan walked to the sofa and covered Jun Shiling with the nket.

    Jun Shiling, who had just been in a deep sleep, suddenly reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan down.

    Xia Wanyuan did not notice and rolled onto Jun Shiling.

    ¡°You¡¯re so annoying. You¡¯re pretending to be asleep again.¡± Xia Wanyuan struggled. ¡°Let go of me. I¡¯m still angry.¡±

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan and turned her over.

    Under the moonlight, Xia Wanyuan could see Jun Shi¡¯s deep eyes.

    She was momentarily speechless.

    Jun Shiling smiled at her. ¡°I just think you look very cute when you¡¯re angry, so I can¡¯t help but want to tease you.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Silly, how can I not let you control me?¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little hot from Jun Shiling¡¯s pressure. ¡°Get up first. I¡¯m going to sleep.¡±

    ¡°Then, Madam, can I go back to the house to sleep?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and rejected Jun Shiling directly. ¡°No.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Let me teach you a lesson. Don¡¯t make me angry again in the future.¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had gone overboard recently. He should be punished a little, or else he would always push his luck.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jun Shiling epted his fate. ¡°I definitely have to obey Madam.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan go upstairs and return to her bedroom as Jun Shiling watched her.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Those who came to attend Lin Qingyuan¡¯s inauguration ceremony were all busy and had heavy responsibilities.

    Some people had left long after the banquet ended, while others left that night. Xia Wanyuan and the rest were already thest group of people to leave Lin Xi.

    When they arrived at the airport, Lin Qingyuan and Su Yueran were actually waiting for them.

    Seeing Lin Qingyuan, Wei Jin subconsciously leaned towards Mu Feng. Mu Feng hugged Wei Jin tighter.

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gazended on Wei Jin with almost crazy anger.

    When Xia Wanyuan and the rest approached, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s expression was already normal. He looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, aren¡¯t you staying for two more days?¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°No need. Thank you for your hospitality, Master Lin.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Lin Qingyuan smiled at Jun Shiling and turned to Mu Feng.

    Mu Feng looked straight at Lin Qingyuan and did not retreat at all.

    After a while, the corners of Lin Qingyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Young Master Mu isn¡¯t on the guest list. When did Young Master Mue? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ve mistreated you.¡±

    Mu Feng looked at Lin Qingyuan with deep disdain. ¡°I don¡¯t need Master Lin¡¯s hospitality.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t treat your wife well either.¡± Lin Qingyuan ignored Mu Feng¡¯s hostility and looked at Wei Jin with admiration.

    Mu Feng stood in front of Wei Jin and blocked Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Master Lin, you should take good care of your new wife.¡±

    However, Su Yueran did not seem to care about her husband¡¯s actions at all. Her gaze kept looking at Xia Wanyuan, as if nothing else could attract her attention.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Mu Feng, then pulled Xia Wanyuan away.

    Behind them, Lin Qingyuan and Su Yueran watched them withplicated expressions.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, Xia Yu and Stone followed the car tracks and found the city dozens of kilometers away from the hut.

    This city was veryrge and was thergest transit city in the central region. There were many peopleing and going here every day.

    Xia Yu and Stone had been searching for a day and night, but they still could not find any traces.

    Xia Yu sat by the roadside and was a little puzzled. <i>Could it be that that group of people had already left this city? </i>

    It was easy to find her from the town, but it was difficult to find her anywhere else.

    There were dozens of routes in the east, west, south, and north. Who knew where they had taken Lin Yi?

    At that moment, theughter of a few children suddenly came from not far away. There were also children singing a folk song.

    Xia Yu wanted to buy some sesame seed pancake and leave, but he suddenly stopped.

    Not far away, the ck-skinned children hummed the Chinese song ¡°Twinkle, Twinkle, little star.¡±

 Chapter 1175 - Becoming Popular worldwide

    <h4>Chapter 1175: Bing Popr worldwide</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    This was the central area of Continent F. Chinese discrimination was very serious. Furthermore, in the current war, most of the Chinese who could escape had fled.

    Xia Yu hurriedly walked over. Fortunately, he had learned some localnguage from the people here some time ago.

    In the end, Xia Yu exchanged some bread for news from the ck boy.

    ording to the ck boy¡¯s description, a very fair and thin ck-haired girl was almost as tall as his shoulder.?<i>That must be Lin Yi.?</i>

    The little boy said that Lin Yi wasst seen under a hotel in the next block.

    After knowing the exact location, Xia Yu was not as anxious as before.

    He first went to buy a few bread, then bought a set of local clothes and hat. He dressed himself up again and returned to the stone.

    Seeing the figure walking over, Stone¡¯s face was filled with vignce until the person opposite called out, ¡°Stone.¡±

    Only then did Stone let down his guard. He carefully looked at the beautiful sister in front of him in a red dress and did not dare to acknowledge her. ¡°Brother Xia Yu?¡±

    ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s me.¡± Xia Yu pulled off the veil on his face and handed the sesame seed pancake to Stone. ¡°I¡¯ll investigate the situation. Wait for me obediently in this ce. Don¡¯t let anyone discover you, okay?¡±

    Stone looked at Xia Yu¡¯s outfit in a daze and reached out to take the sesame seed pancake. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for Brother Xia Yu toe back.¡±

    ¡°Mm, good boy.¡± Xia Yu ate a mouthful of sesame seed pancake himself and drank from the water in the small river beside him. After filling his stomach, he tied a knife to his leg and covered it with a veil. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Stone carried the remaining sesame seed pancakes and ran to hide in a small hole hidden by the weeds.

    Xia Yu carried a pile of weeds over and covered the hole, then wiped away the traces of human activity on the ground before getting up and walking towards the hotel.

    The hotel the little boy mentioned was thergest hotel in the area. There were many peopleing and going.

    Xia Yu was wearing a red dress and covered his face with a white veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

    Eastern men were gentler than Western men to begin with. In addition, Xia Yu was delicate to begin with. It was not strange for him to dress up as a woman among the tall people of Continent F.

    ¡°Check her. What are you doing?¡± It had been chaotic recently, and there were people stationed at the entrance of the hotel to check.

    It was rare to see such a beautiful woman. The eyes of the person in charge of checking on her lit up.

    Xia Yu pointed at his mouth and drew a cross.

    The guard shook his head regretfully. ¡°She¡¯s a mute. Alright, go in.¡±

    To people who were checked all year round, the more inconspicuous a person was, the more they had to pay attention to them.

    As inconspicuous people were often here to investigate.

    There was rarely a problem with such a beautiful and ostentatious woman like her.

    After all, it was too eye-catching, and people who were too eye-catching could not be spies.

    Xia Yu nodded at the guard and walked in.

    He covered his veil and walked like a girl. No one noticed anything strange along the way.

    After sessfully walking through the lobby on the first floor, Xia Yu went up from the elevator and carefully observed his surroundings.

    The person in the elevator with him was tall and strong. Seeing that this person¡¯s gaze was on him, Xia Yu nced at him.

    At a nce, he realized that there was a badge on this person¡¯s waist. The style of the badge was the same as the badge that had fallen from Lin Yi and the others.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes flickered. He pulled down the veil a little, revealing his exquisite side profile.

    When Xia Yu had just bought clothes, he had specially asked thedy boss beside him to help him put on light makeup. With such makeup on his exquisite face, he was almost indistinguishable between male and female.

    Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s beautiful face, the man¡¯s expression changed.

    In their line of work, they did not care about etiquette or shame. If they liked someone, they would snatch them away.

    Just then, the elevator arrived. The man reached out and grabbed Xia Yu¡¯s wrist, pulling him out of the elevator.

    Xia Yu struggled for a while, and tears seemed to sh in his eyes. The man was even more excited. He almost dragged Xia Yu in the direction of his residence.

    Just as they turned a corner, the man pulled Xia Yu back and hid in the safe passage. He covered his mouth and did not let him move.

    Two secondster, the leader passed by the corner with a group of people. Through the gap in the door, Xia Yu saw that Lin Yi was in the group.

    She looked to be in good condition. She should have received special treatment because of her medical skills. Xia Yu was slightly relieved.

    Lin Yi followed the leader. From the words that the leader asionally said, Lin Yi could tell that this team was about to leave.

    The next ce they went was the center of the war.

    That was the most dangerous ce and also the ce where one could obtain huge wealth.

    Lin Yi was not afraid of death, but this group of people was cruel and unscrupulous. Lin Yi did not want to be with them, but she could not escape.

    After the leader left with his people, the person behind Xia Yu let go of his mouth. His hand slid down, wanting to undo Xia Yu¡¯s clothes.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes turned cold. Suddenly, he struck the man¡¯s neck with his hand.

    The muscr man did not expect this at all. He fainted on the ground.

    Just in case, Xia Yu took out a knife and slit his neck, then carried him to the storage room below.

    Xia Yu looked at the time. It was already evening. He took off the man¡¯s badge, clothes, and pass and changed into himself, then quietly sneaked into the hotel.

    At night, the leader and his team members gathered for dinner. Seeing that there were a few people missing, the leader did not care much and only frowned.

    <i>This group of brats went to every rxing ce to mess around. Aren¡¯t they afraid of getting sick??</i>

    Everyone was about to rush to the tense war zone, so they drank thest ss of wine before leaving.

    As people who lived with their heads on their belts, they did not know if they would still be alive to drink wine in the next meal.

    They naturally had to drink more while they could.

    After the meal, his subordinates drank more. The leader also drank a lot and was quite drunk.

    Thinking of where they were going, even the leader, who was used to living a bloody life, could not help but panic.

    To these rough people, when they were flustered, they wanted to find something to make up for the panic in their hearts.

    The leader subconsciously looked around. In the end, his gazended on Lin Yi, who was eating in the corner.

    Lin Yi was eating when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. She turned around warily and saw the leader¡¯s strange gaze.

    Lin Yi stood up and quickly ran out.

    However, in the end, she could not defeat the strong and well-trained leader.

    ¡°Let go of me!¡± Lin Yi struggled desperately and even took out a scalpel to stab the leader.

    However, it was all useless.

    The leader grabbed Lin Yi¡¯s cor and walked into the bedroom as if he was carrying a chick.

    ¡°I¡¯m a doctor. Don¡¯t you need my treatment anymore?!¡± Lin Yi still wanted to struggle.

    The leader tore open Lin Yi¡¯s clothes. ¡°We won¡¯t need you anymore. We don¡¯t need a doctor in that ce.¡±

    A ce where risking lives meant being dead, doctors were useless to them.

    Struggling was futile. Feeling her clothes being torn, Lin Yi clenched her fists.

    She would notmit suicide. She was used to seeing life and death and knew how precious life was.

    However, she swore that she would make these people pay in her lifetime.

    Sensing that the leader was about to tear her pants, Lin Yi closed her eyes tightly. She had bitten through the soft flesh in her mouth, and the taste of rust spread in her mouth.

    However, what she had expected did note. After a loud bang, the weight on her disappeared.

    Lin Yi opened her eyes slightly and saw a familiar face. ¡°Xia Yu!¡±

    Xia Yu gasped. He had hit this leader too hard just now and had affected the wound on his back. He raised an eyebrow at Lin Yi. ¡°You have to bandage my wound againter.¡±

    ¡°I¡­¡± Lin Yi wanted to say something, but then she suddenly realized something. She looked down. Her clothes had been torn into pieces, and arge area of her body was exposed.

    Lin Yi¡¯s face quickly flushed red. At that moment, a piece of clothing was thrown at her.

    Lin Yi watched in a daze as Xia Yu took off his clothes and wore a bright red dress inside.

    Xia Yu blinked at Lin Yi. ¡°What are you looking at? Hurry up and change your clothes. Isn¡¯t my female outfit because of you?¡±

    Seeing Xia Yu wearing a dress and makeup, Lin Yi¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She picked up the clothes in her arms and quickly put them on, then walked to Xia Yu¡¯s side. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Fortunately, tonight was a carnival day. The people in this team were basically very drunk. Xia Yu and Lin Yi sneaked into the underground garage through the safe passage and secretly left the hotel.

    After some time, the two of them finally arrived outside the city. This ce was very close to where Stone was hiding, and this was considered a rtively safe area.

    Xia Yu finally rxed a little. He wiped the sweat off his face.

    ¡°Is your wound open?¡± Lin Yi looked at Xia Yu¡¯s back worriedly.

    ¡°I can still hold on. Let¡¯s go find Stone first.¡± With that, Xia Yu pulled Lin Yi¡¯s wrist and walked southeast. ¡°Follow me closely. There¡¯s quicksand here. Be careful.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Yi¡¯s gazended on Xia Yu¡¯s hand.

    Xia Yu¡¯s palm was very hot, as if he had transferred all the heat to her.

    Lin Yi touched her heart. It seemed to be beating a little fast.

    ¡ª¡ª

    It was early in the morning in Beijing.

    The sky was still dark, and everyone in the bedroom was sleeping.

    The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Jun Shiling suddenly opened his eyes and took a look at the phone. A hint of joy shed across his eyes.

    ¡°We received a message from Xia Yu. We¡¯re doing our best to save him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very sensitive. Under the light of the phone, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes slightly and leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    Jun Shiling switched off his phone and hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly, his tone clearly happy. ¡°Nothing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was half-asleep. ¡°You cheated?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°I think you don¡¯t want to sleep anymore.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was tickled and could not help butugh. ¡°Then what are you looking at? You¡¯re so sneaky. Why aren¡¯t you telling me?¡±

    Xia Yu had not been saved back to China. Jun Shiling did not want Xia Wanyuan to worry for nothing and did not want to tell her this news for the time being.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and whispered a few words into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. Xia Wanyuan was instantly embarrassed and angry. ¡°Liar, stop it.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Mm, we can try and see if I¡¯m lying.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling turned around and pressed her under him.

    Before Jun Shiling could do anything, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

    ¡°¡­¡± At this time, other than that milk dumpling, there was no one else who dared to knock on the master bedroom door.

    Jun Shiling got up with a dark expression and opened the bedroom door.

    Xiao Bao walked in pitifully, his eyes red. He ignored Jun Shiling and walked straight to Xia Wanyuan. He climbed onto the bed and slept in Jun Shiling¡¯s position.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. It was furry and felt good. Xia Wanyuan could not help but scratch it twice.

    ¡°Mommy, I dreamed that Daddy hit me.¡± Xiao Bao was so pitiful. He wrinkled his nose and his eyes were red. ¡°He was fierce to me and said that he wouldn¡¯t give me food.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling tightened his grip on the door handle. He did not know if he had hit anyone in his dream, but he really wanted to hit someone now.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao into her arms and nced at Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes. ¡°Mm, your father is a bad person. Let¡¯s sleep and ignore him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s voice was childish as he wrapped his hands and feet around Xia Wanyuan. Smelling the fragrance on Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao closed his eyes in satisfaction.

    <i>Mommy is still the best!! I love Mommy the most in the world!?</i>

    Jun Shiling stood at the door and looked at the mother and son on the bed who had already fallen asleep peacefully. His seat was also upied by that brat.

    He could only take his clothes downstairs. Uncle Wang was a little puzzled to see Jun Shiling wake up so early. ¡°Young Master, why didn¡¯t you sleep a little longer?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sleeping anymore.¡± Jun Shiling did not look good.

    Uncle Wang looked at Jun Shiling thoughtfully.

    Hence, two hourster.

    When Xia Wanyuan had already finished eating and went upstairs to change her clothes, Jun Shiling was about to pack up and go to work when Uncle Wang mysteriously brought two tes over.

    ¡°Young Master, this is specially added for you. Eat these first before leaving.¡±

    Jun Shiling turned around and took a look.

    One of the tes was filled with oysters, and the other was filled with a bowl of soup. The smell was strange.

    Jun Shiling looked at Uncle Wang with a deep gaze. Although Wang Bo was a little embarrassed, for Jun Shiling¡¯s health, he still went all out. ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t be afraid of medicine.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling took a deep breath. ¡°Throw it away.¡±

    Seeing that soup, Jun Shiling wanted to beat Xiao Bao up even more.

    At this moment, Xiao Bao still did not know that Jun Shiling had already canceled his milk candy supply for the next three months.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On this day, Xia Wanyuan was much busier than usual.

    Other than attending sses at Qing University and helping review the post-production of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±, she also had to record programs at the official television station.

    She had been busy with other things recently and did not have time to prepare the lesson materials.

    During the period after ss, Xia Wanyuan asked the students to write down the representative activities of their hometowns. Then, she randomly picked one and drew thentern festival.

    Xia Wanyuan decided to talk about it tonight.

    Regarding this, Xia Wanyuan did not need any lesson materials at all. It was basically something at her fingertips.

    After all, in his previous life, there were especially few entertainment activities. Every year, the Lantern Festival could be said to be the most popr activity on Chang¡¯an Street.

    Although there was a rule in the pce that she could not go out, as a princess, she could not go to themoners casually.

    However, she could not help but be doted on by her parents. Every time the Lantern Festival was held, Xia Wanyuan would happily attend and y untilte at night before returning to the pce.

    Thosenterns had been yed by Xia Wanyuan.

    Hence, when they recorded the program that night, Xia Wanyuan did not prepare any lesson materials at all.

    The television station had prepared a backdrop for her.

    Standing in such a background, Xia Wanyuan talked about the types ofnterns, the shape of thenterns, and all sorts ofntern riddles. It was extremely exciting.

    Countless viewers sat in front of the television and wished they could celebrate the Lantern Festival immediately. Thenterns on a certain treasure quickly turned around in this season that should have been ignored, and the sales soared.

    The popr science videos ced on the Inte no longer needed Xia Wanyuan to make them herself.

    While she was recording the show, someone from Chen Yun¡¯s side had already attached an eagle text screen to the show in real time and posted it on the Inte.

    It had to be said that some things were really so coincidental.

    On the day this popr science video was uploaded, the Han Country happened to push the topic ¡°Lotus Lantern Festival Application for World Heritage¡± to the trending list on the Inte.

    The Lotus Lantern Festival in Han Country was held on the 25th of October every year in the Tibetan calendar. In order tomemorate the birthday of the Buddha, on this day, the traditional custom of Han Country was to lightmps at home.

    In recent years, the actions of the Han Country had be more and more frequent. Just a while ago, the Han Country¡¯s officials had announced the Lotus Lantern Festival to the International Association as their cultural heritage.

    In the past two days, there had been news from the internationalmunity that the Lotus Lantern Festival in Han Country had reached thest step and was about to seed.

    At this moment, the Han people were extremely excited. Although they had not officially applied, they had already begun an early celebration.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video made everyone very embarrassed.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan had more than five million fans on the Inte, including arge number of foreigners.

    They looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video and then at the topic of Lotus Lantern Festival in Han Country.

    [What do you mean? Xia Wanyuan said that the Lantern Festival originated in China. Why did Country Han say that it originated from them and even applied to be a cultural heritage? Is Xia Wanyuan lying?]

    [ The person in front, I¡¯ll just say this. They haven¡¯t applied sessfully. Can you not talk nonsense? Are you joking about Xia Wanyuan lying? She¡¯s a professional professor, okay? I wonder who¡¯s lying. ]

    The people of Han Country had only been happy for a few minutes when they were agitated by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science videos.

    They did not care about anything else and began to crazily insult and attack Xia Wanyuan under the video.

    Chen Yun was in charge of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount. He was so angry by thesements that he almost exploded on the spot.

    ¡°These thieves are still so arrogant when they stole our things!!¡± Chen Yun guided the technicians. ¡°Hurry up and make a few videos aboutnterns. They have to be the kind that can ruthlessly press those uglymps on the ground.¡±

    The staff also did not like those Han people. After receiving instructions, everyone began to work overtime to make videos.

    There were too manyntern ceremonies in China, and among thesentern ceremonies, the Sichuan Lantern Festival was especially famous.

    The staff prepared to do a collection of the tributentern festival.

    Before the video could be made, the Sichuan officials came looking for him.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan¡¯s show began, the official phone had not stopped ringing.

    The local tourism management office¡¯s phones were about to explode. The officials realized that this was a good publicity opportunity, so they took the initiative to send all sorts of publicity materials, photos, and videos over.

    The official representative was very excited on the phone. ¡°Sorry to trouble you. If youe to Sichuan to y this year, we¡¯ll give you free food and amodation. You can have fun.¡±

    Dozens of gigabytes of video material were simply a huge treasure trove.

    News in the tourist world was mutual. Just as Sichuan sent the information here, other ces heard the news and came to look for them.

    Those official representatives that he could only watch on television usually were now speaking to him politely. Chen Yun was a little ttered.

    He epted it without hesitation. ¡°This is a good thing. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely publicize it for you.¡±

    Coincidentally, Xi¡¯an was a traditional style in the north. The Qinhuai Lantern Festival took the gentle and ancient style route, and the spiritual energy in the southwest gathered since the Tribute Lantern Festival.

    Together, the three could almost cover all areas of China.

    While theizens of Country Han were jumping up and down to report the popr science video, the studio quietly edited the video.

    The video was ten minutes long. In fact, it was already very long in the publicity video. However, the staff still hated that they could not put more excitement into the video.

    Soon, the video was posted on Weibo and other ounts.

    Many foreignizens were watching the battle between Han Country and China. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had posted a video, they clicked on it curiously. Then, they could note out.

    <i>What is this!!!?</i>

    <i>Why can lights be made so beautiful!!?</i>

    The golden dragon stepped on the waves and smoked. The peacock was dazzling and the golden deer was lively. There were cocoonmps, ssmps, bamboomps, tie-dyemps, tungstenmps, silkmps, and papermps.

    The lights in the water, the lights on the mountains, the ¡°birds¡± on the trees, the ¡°frogs¡± in theke, the character lights, the animal lights, the melon lights, the dramatic facial lights, the wooden dragon head carving lights¡­ There were scenes in the lights, and there were lights in the scenes. Theke was bright and the mountains were beautiful. The pavilions were filled with water, and the lights blended together with a majestic aura.

    What was even more amazing was that China¡¯smps had introduced modern photoelectric technology on the basis of retaining their original characteristics. They melted ¡°shape, color, light, movement, and sound¡±.

    This was no longer just a certain technique.

    Instead, it was a feast formed by aesthetics, culture, vision, and hearing. Behind this was more than five thousand years of culture. The soul-stirring feeling of walking out of the depths of history struck the hearts of the spectators.

    The foreignizens just did not know China¡¯s culture, but that did not mean that they did not know how to appreciate it.

    Compared to the glorious pces in China, the ones in Han Country seemed very unpresentable.

    The people Chen Yun had hired were all top editors in the world. Their standards were top-notch. The originally exquisite scene had been skillfully edited, making one¡¯s heart surge.

    Hence, this video had more views than any other video Xia Wanyuan had yed on the Inte.

    In fact, as theizens continued to repost, it gradually spread out and quickly climbed to the first ce in real time on the Inte.

    This was a positive cycle. The higher the ranking, the more popr it was, and the higher the poprity, the higher the ranking.

    In the end, the foreign website for this day was basically dominated by China¡¯sntern festival videos.

    No matter how many Chineseizens exined or how much official publicity they could not achieve,

    This video did it.

    China¡¯s lights would be famous in one go. Even if the internationalmunity did not know what these things were called, they knew that there was something very beautiful in China.

    There were all sorts of colorful colors shining. If there was a chance next time, they had to take a look.

    The staff of the tourism management office were leisurely drinking tea when they suddenly realized that the number of tourists was rising.

 Chapter 1176 - The Princess Conquers the World Invincibly

    <h4>Chapter 1176: The Princess Conquers the World Invincibly</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Tourism in China had always been in a deficit.

    After all, the Chinese had be richer over the years, and their desire to travel had be stronger. Those foreign regions that symbolized freedom and beauty were naturally everyone¡¯s first choice for travel.

    Every holiday, countless Chinese people would rush overseas to sightsee, shop, and party.

    Inparison, because of the long-term defamation of China¡¯s image abroad and theck of domestic publicity,

    The international impression of China was basically that everyone had to salute with a red book and a hat.

    In their minds, China¡¯s conditions were poor. There was no toilet door, no Inte, and many people could not eat their fill. The streets were filled with people who had starved to death.

    Under the long-term influence of such thoughts, even though China had a lot of rich tourist attractions and a long history, there were still fewer people who came to China to travel abroad.

    The domestic tourism management office was also used to this phenomenon. Everyone could onlyfort themselves. Anyway, the number of tourists from their own country could satisfy their daily lives. There was no need to ask international people to travel to China.

    However, who did not want their country¡¯s beautiful cultural heritage to be the focus of the world? Furthermore, the more people came to sightsee, the better the ie.

    Over the years, no one had any hope. No one expected the situation to suddenly reverse.

    Initially, everyone thought that it was just a short-term sudden increase. However, after this increase continued for nearly a day, it still maintained a rtively high state.

    Everyone realized that a miracle had really happened!

    After much understanding, everyone finally found the source of this wave of tourists, which was the video Xia Wanyuan had posted on the Inte.

    After fermentation, this video rushed into the top 100 of all the videos on the Inte at an absolutely high speed.

    One had to know that the foreign website was a website that gathered almost all theizens from countries other than China. To be ranked in the top 100 videos on this website, the ability and range of transmission was something that no one dared to imagine.

    In this wave of news, Sichuan, Nanjing, and Xi¡¯an benefited the most.

    After all, it was clearly written on the videos of the Lantern Festival that the videos of these Lantern Festival were collected from a few ces. The discussions about these three ces on the Inte were even on the Inte¡¯s heated list.

    There were even more people who wanted to travel to these ces, making the tourism management offices elsewhere jealous.

    <i>These people were too much! Why did they secretly get rich without bringing their brothers?!?</i>

    As everyone secretly scolded these ces for being disloyal, they rushed to produce their own tourist promotional video, hoping to use Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength to increase their performance.

    Chen Yun received promotional videos from dozens of regions in a day and was stunned.

    He was shocked. ¡°Aren¡¯t we an entertainmentpany? What the hell is this? Why do they want us to promote tourist attractions for them?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not find it strange.

    Perhaps because of her identity in her previous life and the faith she had learned about cultivating self, helping family, organizing the country and conquering the world since she was young,

    To Xia Wanyuan, in her previous life, her dream was to revive the Great Xia Dynasty and let her people live and work in peace.

    In this life, although she was no longer in politics,

    However, she still had the faith to conquer the world.

    Furthermore, if she counted carefully, the current people of China could be considered her descendants. Xia Wanyuan naturally felt that if she could help China be better, she would be happy to do so.

    ¡°Don¡¯t post it for the time being.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan was willing to help, she would not post it mindlessly. ¡°I¡¯ll post it after I have a suitable topic and edit a suitable video.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun listened to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions anyway. He was willing to do whatever Xia Wanyuan said.

    Due to the poprity of the light show video released by Xia Wanyuan, the insults of the Han people werepletely covered.

    When the news spread to China, the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Lantern Festival video became popr on the Inte¡± quickly entered the trending list on Weibo.

    The first thing theizens felt when they saw this topic was that the media was starting to scare them again.

    They had all climbed over the wall to watch thest popr science video. Everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video had a high number of views, but it had not reached the level of being popr on the Inte.

    After all, billions of people had gathered on the foreignwork.<i>?Popr foreignwork? What a joke.?</i>

    However, when everyone clicked on the video, their only thought was ¡°Daddy Xia Wanyuan is amazing!!¡±

    The high viewership shocked theizens. After seeing the exquisite light show video made by Xia Wanyuan, theizens were both touched and excited.

    [F*ck!! As a Chinese, I didn¡¯t know that our country¡¯sntern festival was already so beautiful and awesome?]

    [It¡¯s so beautiful. I must go to Sichuan to watch thentern festival after my exam!! It¡¯s so beautiful!!! This video is so good. It¡¯s so exciting to watch.]

    [ Am I the only one who feels very touched? Anyway, I¡¯m crying from watching. It¡¯s not because of anything else, but because I feel that the things left behind by the ancestors are really precious. Unfortunately, we didn¡¯t protect them well and let them be snatched away by others. ]

    After everyone eximed at the exquisite video, they began to understand the story behind the video. Only then did they know that Country Han had registered the Lotus Lantern Festival.

    Theizens were furious.

    The key was that some attentiveizens realized that it was fine if the Han people registered for the Lotus Lantern Festival, but they actually used photos of the China Lantern Festival!!

    <i>Shameless!?</i>

    ¡°F*ck, look at this photo used by the Han Country¡¯s application for world heritage. Compare it to the scene in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video that shed past. Isn¡¯t it exactly the same? This is too shameless. Now, they actually used our country¡¯s photo for the application?¡±

    [Actually, I¡¯m more curious why our country didn¡¯t apply for these things as our cultural heritage first. We had to wait for others to snatch them before we woke up.]

    [Let me tell you why. It¡¯s because our country has too many cultural heritage!!! There¡¯s a quota every year, but our country has too many things, which leads to many heritage not being in line.]

    [I¡¯m stunned. So it¡¯s because of this¡­ I don¡¯t know if I should be proud or sad.]

    Theizens were indeed telling the truth. After all, China had more than five thousand years of history. The ancestors had left too many things behind.

    In front of those world-renowned cultural heritage, the Lantern Festival seemed a little unpresentable. Hence, before they began to apply for the Lantern Festival, it was snatched away by Country Han.

    Theizens were angry and amused. They climbed over the wall to publicize the Chinesentern festival and exined that Country Han had secretly taken China¡¯s photos to apply for world heritage.

    At this moment, the Lotus Lantern Festival was already at thest step and the application was about to seed.

    The official organization suddenly received arge number of reasonable reports about Country Han falsifying their documents.

    After investigation, the officials discovered that the evidence used to apply for Country Han was indeed insufficient, so the application for Lotus Lantern Festival was rejected.

    When the news spread, the people of Han Country naturally hated Xia Wanyuan to the core.

    However, to the Chinese, they were extremely happy.

    [ Can you protect what our ancestors left us? If not for Xia Wanyuan, ourntern festival would have be someone else¡¯s. ]

    [To be honest, although I¡¯ve never liked Xia Wanyuan much, I think she did quite well.]

    [ What¡¯s good about it? Are we going to make the people of Han hate us for no reason? China¡¯s poprity is not good to begin with, and now, nobody will care about us even more. ]

    [ Elementary school students in front, there¡¯s never a good rtionship between countries, okay? It¡¯s about benefits and fists. When we¡¯re strong, do you think Han Country will be the first to submit? He dares to be so arrogant now because we¡¯re not strong enough. ]

    No matter how noisy the Inte was, Xia Wanyuan was already preparing for the Qing University ss.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss had be a demonstration ss at Qing University.

    Every time it was time to choose a ss, the school website would immediately copse in order to snatch one of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sses.

    ¡°Beauty!¡± Ever since she had eaten with Xia Wanyuan twice, Feng Wuyou had consciously ssified Xia Wanyuan as her friend.

    She came to Qing University almost every day. One reason was because she wanted to listen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ss, and the other was because of Chu Yi.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Feng Wuyou.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Feng Wuyou smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Are you preparing your lesson materials? I was about to go out and y with you.¡±

    ¡°I still have to be busy for two hours. I don¡¯t think I have time.¡± Xia Wanyuan had gone to Lin Xi City for a few days and had too many things on her hands.

    ¡°Alright, see you in sster.¡± Feng Wuyou waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll go y with Chu Yi first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    After saying goodbye to Xia Wanyuan, Feng Wuyou left the school building.

    She took out her phone and called Chu Yi. Just as the call connected, Feng Wuyou saw a few people walking over not far away before he could say a word.

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes widened. She looked around and quickly hid in the female toilet.

    ¡°Hello, Wuyou, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Seeing that Feng Wuyou did not speak after the call connected, worry shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. He stood up, took his clothes, and walked out.

    Feng Wuyou hid in the toilet, his heart pounding. She whispered into the phone, ¡°Pick me up from the female toilet on the first floor of the school building.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Chu Yi was a little speechless, but it seemed that Feng Wuyou was safe, so he was relieved. ¡°Okay, wait there. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±

    Chu Yi arrived very quickly. In less than three minutes, Chu Yi arrived at the female toilet.

    Feng Wuyou carefully stuck his head out. ¡°Did you see anyone strange at the door when you came?¡±

    Chu Yi shook his head. ¡°No, why?¡±

    Only then did Feng Wuyou walk out. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. They might be asking for a debt.¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Since there¡¯s nothing else, let¡¯s go out.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Feng Wuyou nodded. However, when she turned around, she saw someone walking over from the corridor.

    Although Feng Wuyou was not familiar with that person¡¯s face, she was very familiar with the tiger badge on that person¡¯s wrist.

    <i>That was the Feng family¡¯s badge. This person must have been sent by the Feng family.?</i>

    Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, Feng Wuyou panicked and hugged Chu Yi¡¯s neck. Then, she pulled him down and nted a kiss on his red lips.

    Chu Yi was shocked, but Feng Wuyou pulled his hand up and covered her face.

    In this way, from the side, one could not see her appearance at all. Others could only see that there was a pair of students who did not attend sses properly and kissed at the toilet door.

    The man had already walked over. Seeing this scene, he subconsciously shook his head and turned away in embarrassment, treating these two people as an ordinary couple.

    Hearing that the person¡¯s footsteps had already walked away, Feng Wuyou finally rxed. She took a deep breath and was about to let go of Chu Yi when she sensed that something was wrong.

    At this moment, she was very close to Chu Yi. She was so close that she could see Yi¡¯s deep eyes hidden behind the sses.

    Those eyes were not as elegant as usual. Instead, they were like a vast sea that was about to rise, hiding countless waves.

    Chu Yi¡¯s hand on her face was very hot, and this hand was gently rubbing her temples, making Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart itch.

    ¡°Chu Yi, I just¡­¡± Feng Wuyou wanted to exin to Chu Yi that it was just a desperate reaction. She did not mean to take advantage of him.

    In the next second, Chu Yi¡¯s lips pressed down. At this moment, it was no longer a simple collision, but a deeper entanglement.

    Feng Wuyou had never thought that Chu Yi¡¯s aura would be so strong at this moment. It was like a lion that had ended its sleep and began to enjoy his lunch.

    After some time, until Feng Wuyou felt that he could not breathe, Chu Yi reluctantly let her go.

    Feng Wuyou panted as he looked at Chu Yi. ¡°Why did you?¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yi spoke first. ¡°Why did you suddenly kiss me?¡±

    ¡°?¡± Feng Wuyou was stunned. ¡°I clearly¡­¡±

    ¡°You pulled me down and you grabbed my hand.¡± Chu Yi looked at Feng Wuyou seriously. The strong sense of invasion that Feng Wuyou had felt from him just now seemed to have never appeared.

    At this moment, other than innocence, Chu Yi was only innocent.

    ¡°¡­¡± Feng Wuyou recalled that she seemed to have attacked first just now, but she had only pulled Chu Yi down, right??<i>I had not let Chu Yi reach out¡­?</i>

    <i>Forget it, forget it.?</i>The more she thought about it, the more passionate Feng Wuyou became. She nced at Chu Yi. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s wrong with kissing? Can¡¯t I kiss you?¡±

    Chu Yi smiled. ¡°Of course, Sister Sugar Mommy.¡±

    Feng Wuyou was stunned by his shout. She looked away in embarrassment. ¡°Don¡¯t call me that. You¡¯re not allowed to call me sugar mommy in the future, okay?¡±

    Although Feng Wuyou had initially told Chu Yi that he was her sugar baby, she had mostly been joking from the beginning. Later on, as they interacted,

    Feng Wuyou disliked Chu Yi more and more for saying that he was a kept man.

    A glint shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. He lowered his head and hugged Feng Wuyou. ¡°Then what should I call you? Or to put it another way, who do you think I am to you?¡±

    Chu Yi was already good-looking and had 100% hit Feng Wuyou¡¯s aesthetic standards. Now, he lowered his head and leaned towards Feng Wuyou, asking these ambiguous words in a maic voice.

    Feng Wuyou felt that she was about to lose her bnce from Chu Yi¡¯s teasing. Her face flushed red. ¡°How would I know who you are to me?¡±

    Chu Yi smiled and kissed Feng Wuyou¡¯s temple. ¡°Boyfriend, okay?¡±

    The deer in Feng Wuyou¡¯s heart ran crazily on the grasnd.

    <i>Ahhhhhhh, how can this man be so flirtatious!! No, I have to hold it in! I can¡¯t break it! I¡¯m the most noble and cold child in Continent M!</i>

    Feng Wuyou nodded, feeling very spineless. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Chu Yi chuckled and held Feng Wuyou¡¯s hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go, girlfriend. Let¡¯s eat.¡±

    As Feng Wuyou despised himself for not being more reserved, she nodded obediently at Chu Yi. ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the two of them left, the students who had been hiding in the female toilet for a long time finally walked out. They looked at the young couple who had already walked far away and looked at each other.

    <i>What was wrong with him?</i>

    <i>Confess at the entrance of the female toilet? Awesome. The brain of a handsome man is indeed extraordinary. He really knows how to confess.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    This was already the 35th time he had seen Feng Wuyou chuckle foolishly and blush. Even if Xuan Sheng wanted to be blind, he could not lie to him.

    He knocked on the table. ¡°Hey, can you look in the mirror? Look at yourself.¡±

    Feng Wuyou looked up and nced at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re just jealous that I have a tall and handsome boyfriend.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng gritted his teeth. ¡°Get lost as far as you can.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go call my boyfriend.¡± Feng Wuyou stood up and walked away happily humming a song.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xuan Sheng felt his head hurt. This time, it was purely because of Feng Wuyou.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Although Su Yueran and Lin Qingyuan¡¯s wedding was not the most grand, it was still a hot topic.

    Whether it was in the circle of Chinese families or among ordinary people,

    They were quite concerned about the union of the Wei family and the Lin family.

    These two were the tworgest families in the south. Everyone was very curious if their union would make the south united and no one could interfere.

    And the north was at a critical period of the Jun and Jiangpetition.

    If the families in the south chose a team now, wouldn¡¯t whichever family they stood with win?

    Everyone was waiting for Lin Qingyuan to express his stand.

    Meanwhile, the Lin family was silent, as if they had no intention of interfering in the family conflict in the north.

    After Wei Jin was saved, although she was indeed very happy at first, when she regained her senses, she realized that she had brought Xia Wanyuan great trouble.

    ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m sorry. Will the Lin family fall out with you because of me?¡± Wei Jin med herself.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°If he sincerely wants to cooperate with the Jun family, then even if there are ten of you, it won¡¯t affect the alliance between the two families. If he¡¯s not sincere to begin with, even without you, there will be other reasons to stop him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had seen too many such things in her previous life.

    The key to the cooperation between the two forces was benefits.

    Anything else was useless. As long as they wanted to cooperate, nothing was a problem. If they did not want to cooperate, anything was a problem.

    Why did Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan dare to offend the Lin family so unscrupulously and save Wei Jin?

    It was because Jun Shiling had received a lot of news that showed that the Lin family and the Jiang family were close.

    These two families were already in the same boat, so Jun Shiling no longer cared about the Lin family.

    ¡°Thank you, Cousin.¡± Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan gratefully.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to thank me. Do you remember the question I once asked you?¡±

    ¡°I remember.¡± Wei Jin nodded. Xia Wanyuan had once asked her if she was willing to help her control the Wei family.

    ¡°Then let me ask you again. Are you willing to help me manage the Wei family?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Jin. ¡°It¡¯s an entire Wei family. The south and north would merge.¡±

    Wei Jin was a little puzzled. ¡°What do you mean? How can the south and north merge now?¡±

    The two families had been separated for so long and did their own things. They were simply unwilling to meet.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°They can, and this key point is with you.¡±

    Wei Jin was different from others. She could be said to be the link of the north and south Wei family.

    She had grown up in the Wei family in the south, and her family and friends were all in the south. However, at the same time, her heart was closer to the north.

    Only she couldbine the two families.

    ¡°How should I do it?¡± Wei Jin quickly understood what Xia Wanyuan meant, but she did not know where to start.

    ¡°Start with your mother.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed out the crux of the problem.

    ¡°My mother?¡± Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention Ding Hui, Wei Jin began to frown.

    She did not know how to describe Ding Hui. She felt that Ding Hui was a pitiful and hateful person.

    She had beenpletely controlled by her family her entire life and by her husband¡¯s family. She was like a tool puppet. She was really pitiful.

    However, she was also very hateful. Her mentality was already twisted. Facing her daughter, she actually felt jealous.

    ¡°What does your mother value the most?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s power. No.¡± Wei Jin thought for a while. ¡°Actually, it has always been her family that has affected her.¡±

    ¡°Mm, so start with them and control Ding Hui. She¡¯s the best breakthrough point for Wei Zhong.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped there and did not say anything else.

    After all, if she needed to teach her everything, there was no need for Wei Jin to manage the Wei family.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Wei Jin nodded. ¡°Thank you, Cousin.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Wei Jin.

    Actually, she was doing this for herself and Jun Shiling.

    The Lin family and the Jiang family were too close. Once the Lin family and the Wei family in the south werepletely tied together, the south would be the Lin family¡¯s world.

    However, if they took back the Wei family in the south, the Wei family in the south would be a knife in the Lin family¡¯s heart, making him not dare to act rashly at all times.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Jiang family, Jiang Yun had only stayed at home for more than an hour before she saw the battle between Liu Tanyu and Zou Man.

    Even someone like her, who had never paid attention to the fights in the inner residence, could not help but look at these two women.

    She really could not understand.<i>?It was fine if they were jealous of others, but what was worth these two women scheming for someone like Jiang Kui??</i>

    Jiang Kui was extremely annoyed by the two of them. Seeing Jiang Yun return, Jiang Kui was even more annoyed. He looked at Jiang Yun angrily. ¡°Why are you back?¡±

    Jiang Yun ignored Jiang Kui¡¯s disdain and poured herself a cup of tea. ¡°Can¡¯t Ie back and watch the show? Come and see how the young master of the Jiang family performs on stage.¡±

    Jiang Yun was not only talking about Jiang Kui¡¯s family, but she was also talking about how Jiang Kui had been jumping up and down in thepany recently.

    Ever since Jiang Yun had been appointed as the finance department head by Father Jiang, Jiang Kui had been jumping up and down every day as if he had been stabbed in the artery, afraid that he would lose his presence in thepany.

    Furthermore, in order to cause trouble for Jiang Yun, Jiang Kui had to bring people to the finance department to cause trouble every few days. Everyone in thepany was filled withints.

    Jiang Kui naturally understood what Jiang Yun meant. He looked at Jiang Yun angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re amazing just because you can be the finance department head in thepany. Let me tell you, it¡¯s almost time for you to act.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s words, Jiang Yun frowned slightly. ¡°What do you want to do now?¡±

    Jiang Yun smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not what I want to do this time, but what Father wants to do. I don¡¯t believe that you can disobey Father¡¯s orders this time.¡±

    The gloating in Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes was too obvious. For a moment, Jiang Yun felt uneasy. She put down her teacup. ¡°You¡¯re getting better at fantasizing.¡±

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s a fantasy or not, we¡¯ll see.¡± Finally, he had found a round with Jiang Yun. Jiang Kui was relieved, and he was not so unhappy when he saw Zou Man and Liu Tanyu.

    Jiang Yun carried her bag and walked out. Just as she reached the door, she received a call from Father Jiang.

    ¡°Father.¡± Jiang Yun walked into the car and searched for the keys in her bag.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Mr. Jiang¡¯s dignified voice came from the phone. ¡°I called to inform you that you¡¯re eating at the Beijing Hotel tomorrow. Dress well. The person who came is the second young master of the Lin family.¡±

    The key in Jiang Yun¡¯s hand fell to the ground.

    ¡°Did you hear that?¡± Father Jiang was clearly unhappy when he did not hear Jiang Yun¡¯s response.

    ¡°Okay, Father. I¡¯ll be there on time tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yun nodded respectfully.

    ¡± Mm.¡± Father Jiang hung up.

    Jiang Yun squatted down and picked up the key. There was an empty bullet shell hanging on the keychain. Jiang Yun looked at the bullet shell in a daze for a while. In the end, she stood up and opened the car door.

    However, Jiang Yun did not start the car immediately. She only looked at the bullet shell in a daze and finally sighed.

    Actually, she had known from the beginning that her surname was Jiang. She was shouldering the responsibility of the Jiang family.

    After a while, Jiang Yun started the car and left. The bullet shell hung on the key and nged.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Lin family.

    Although it was after their wedding and thenterns with the word ¡°Happiness¡± had not been removed, and it was clearly still a festive and auspicious decoration, the entire Lin family¡¯s courtyard did not have the slightest festive feeling.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam is asking if you want toe over for dinner?¡± The butler walked to Lin Qingyuan¡¯s side and asked him respectfully.

    ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. ¡°Let her go to Beijing after this meal.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The butler shook his head silently in his heart.<i>?I wonder what kind of marriage this is.?</i>

    Other than Lin Qingyuan staying overnight in the bridal room on their wedding day, Lin Qingyuan had never stepped into Su Yueran¡¯s room again. The two of them had not even met once.

    ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. Second Young Master is back. He¡¯ll probably be in the front hall now.¡±

    ¡°Follow me.¡± Lin Qingyuan stood up and walked towards the front hall. The butler hurriedly followed.

    An extremely gentlemanly man stood in the front hall. His custom-made suit made him look especially tall, and his handsome face had the temperament of a mature man.

    Seeing Lin Qingyuan, Lin Qingdai came forward. ¡°Brother.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Qingyuan sized up Lin Qingdai. ¡°Long time no see.¡±

    ¡°Yes, long time no see.¡± Lin Qingdai smiled at Lin Qingyuan.

    He had been studying abroad for nearly ten years and had not returned. He did not expect that now that he was back, the Lin family had already changed greatly.

    Lin Qingdai took out the gift he had prepared for Lin Qingyuan. ¡°I know you like wine. This is my treasure. It¡¯s for you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingyuan took it.

    ¡°I wonder why did you call me back in a hurry this time, Brother?¡±

    Because Lin Qingdai had been abroad for a long time, although he was from the second branch, he could be safe during Lin Qingyuan¡¯s cleansing of the entire Lin family.

    ¡°Marriage.¡± Lin Qingyuan told Lin Qingdai very directly, ¡°Marriage with the Jiang family. You¡¯ll set off today. Someone will pick you up in Beijing. Eat at the Beijing Hotel tomorrow and discuss the wedding.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingdai did not expect that he had returned because of this.

    To Lin Qingdai, who had received overseas education for a long time, marriage alliance was simply a fantasy.

    Lin Qingyuan saw his hesitation. ¡°That¡¯s all. I¡¯m informing you. Alright, go and eat first. The ne I arranged for you is already waiting for you at the airport.¡±

    With that, Lin Qingyuan ced the wine in his hand aside and left, as if Lin Qingdai¡¯s opinion did not affect him at all.

    Lin Qingdai stood in the living room and looked at the wine, then at Lin Qingyuan¡¯s back. He frowned.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Beijing,

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science videos and promotional videos were popr both domestically and abroad.

    There had never been such an influential Chinese celebrity internationally. Many foreign television stations wanted to invite Xia Wanyuan to their show.

    Among them was the official television station of America, Ennd and France.

    After asking for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion, Chen Yun finally reached an agreement with the American television station.

    Xia Wanyuan would participate in their television news interview and a series of exchanges. After all, FINS¡¯spany headquarters was in America.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount was created and popr on FINS. As a phenomenal user, thepany definitely wanted to obtain such a high level of attention from Xia Wanyuan in a short period of time.

    Chen Yun quickly gave Xia Wanyuan a schedule. She would go to America¡¯s official television station to record a day¡¯s program and then visit andmunicate with FINS.

    When Xia Wanyuan received the application form, the first thing she did was go to the principal¡¯s office.

    Principal Yang had already asked Xia Wanyuan many times if she was willing to participate in the Chinese fencing team.

    Xia Wanyuan had always been busy and did not have time to attend these activities.

    This time, she happened to be going to America to record a program. Xia Wanyuan looked at the World Fencing Competition. It seemed to be held in those two days.

    Xia Wanyuan thought that since she was going to America, she might as well settle the matter together.

    ¡°¡­¡± After hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, the principal was stunned for a moment. ¡°Wanyuan, I¡¯m not criticizing you, but you know that if your words reach the ears of the captain of the fencing team, he might explode with anger.¡±

    <i>What do you mean by convenient? Can this be convenient?</i>

    Although Principal Yang knew that with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength, it was not strange for her to say these two words,*

    However, it was really too infuriating.

    Along the way, Principal Yang had also received all sorts of top students and all sorts of awards. After participating in work, he had even advanced and been promoted in all sorts of ways. In the end, he became the principal of the Qing University. He could be considered a pir and a winner in life.

    However, with Xia Wanyuan, Principal Yang rarely felt what it meant to be defeated.<i>?The Heavens chasing after someone to give them rice, isn¡¯t that what¡¯s happening with Xia Wanyuan??</i>

    He waved his hand helplessly. ¡°Alright, go. Don¡¯t tell the captain that you¡¯re going to attend apetition on the way. Don¡¯t anger him to death.¡±

 Chapter 1177 - Fencing Champion

    <h4>Chapter 1177: Fencing Champion</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The captain of the national fencing team had waited for so long and finally received Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response. He was originally extremely excited, but when he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedule, he felt that something was wrong.

    ¡°Professor Xia, tell me honestly. Did you agree to the interview in America first, or did you think of me first?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan coughed lightly. ¡°Captain, don¡¯t be too conflicted about such details.¡±

    Pak! The captain¡¯s heart broke.

    ¡°I knew it. You agreed to follow us to thepetition because it was on the way!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Captain, that¡¯s not important. Can¡¯t we just win thepetition?¡±

    The captain had revived with full health. He had seen Xia Wanyuan use a sword.

    <i>Good lord!! Those who did not know better would think that Xia Wanyuan was going to fight the enemy!</i>?Her aura left him in the dust.

    Just because he had seen Xia Wanyuan use a sword once, the captain was shocked and had the idea of adding Xia Wanyuan to the national team.

    ¡°You said it.¡± The captain looked at Xia Wanyuan eagerly. ¡°Promise to win the championship for me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought about the fencing videos she had seen in modern society.

    Although this sounded a little arrogant, to be honest, in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion, those moves were very simple.

    Xia Wanyuan actually did not use the sword often.

    After all, in her previous life, her main priority was to guard the rear. There were very few times when she needed to personally go forward, but that did not mean that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s swordsmanship was bad.

    Her father and mother were not like other members of the royal family who only let their daughter learn poetry and embroidery.

    They had invited the most talented person in the world to teach Xia Wanyuan, including swordsmanship.

    Under the Sword God, who had the highest sword skills at that time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills were naturally not something ordinary people couldpare to.

    Hence, facing the fencing captain¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan nodded very naturally. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get you a championship.¡±

    ¡°Awesome!¡± The captain was overjoyed.

    One had to know that after China won the championship five years ago, the national team had been in low spirits and rarely obtained good results.

    ¡°Then I still have something on, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After telling the captain what he needed to say, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    The captain still had something to do. After sending Xia Wanyuan off, he went elsewhere.

    Hence, neither of them realized that after they left the training room, someone walked out of the changing room with aplicated expression. In her phone, the recorder was working.

    This was Liu Qian, a member of the fencing team.

    Her skills could not keep up with the average standards of the national team. She had been a reserve member for a long time.

    This time, it was not easy for a girl in the team to fall sick and be unable to participate in thepetition. The captain was forced to pull Liu Qian in to barely make up the numbers.

    Liu Qian had been looking forward to this rare opportunity for a long time.

    She had trained for so long to stand on the world stage and receive everyone¡¯s attention.

    However, who would have thought that she would hear Xia Wanyuan and the captain¡¯s conversation in the changing room?

    <i>Originally, there was no ce for Xia Wanyuan. If Xia Wanyuan wanted to join, wouldn¡¯t that mean that I had to give up her position??</i>

    After all, the captain had never thought much of her. Now, looking at the captain¡¯s attitude towards Xia Wanyuan, she could already predict that she was going to be reced.

    Looking at the recording in her hand, Liu Qian gritted her teeth. ¡°Why do you always have to stand in my way?¡±

    She saved the recording and walked out of the training room.

    There was only more than a week left until An Rao¡¯s wedding. Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and her pregnancy was serious. She was often in a bad mood. Recently, Xia Wanyuan would take some time to visit her.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, do you think I¡¯m pregnant with a son or a daughter?¡± An Rao touched her stomach and looked at Xia Wanyuan curiously.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Speaking of which, it was strange. A few months ago, An Rao still liked to eat sour food. At that time, everyone thought that she was pregnant with a son. Only recently did An Rao start to like spicy food again. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a pair of twins?¡±

    An Rao blinked. ¡°Really?¡±

    However, An Rao thought for a while. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s good to have a son or daughter. I like both very much.¡±

    Although Bo Xiao said that he wanted a son, An Rao saw that Bo Xiao had prepared aplete set of things for his daughter. He had prepared for her much more diligently for his son.

    At this point, An Rao leaned towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Yuan Yuan, aren¡¯t you and CEO Jun prepared to have a second child?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned by the question. She recalled how Jun Shiling was forced to drink soup by Uncle Wang every day and was a little amused. ¡°Let nature take its course.¡±

    Actually, children were all spiritual. If he wanted toe to this world, he might appear one day.

    For the entire afternoon, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao stayed together to chat. When Xia Wanyuan left, An Rao grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand reluctantly with tears in her eyes. ¡°Sister, why don¡¯t you take me away too? I want to go home with you.¡±

    Behind her, Bo Xiao forcefully pulled her over. He waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Bye, ignore her. She¡¯s crazy again.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the crazy one.¡± An Rao turned around and red at Bo Xiao. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Bo Xiao closed the door and began his daily routine of coaxing his wife.

    After leaving An Rao¡¯s house, Xia Wanyuan drove back to the manor. When she walked to the Xingtan intersection to wait for the traffic light, she was caught off guard and saw Su Yueran.

    To be honest, if not for her facial features, Xia Wanyuan really did not dare to believe that the bleak figure walking by the roadside was Su Yueran.

    Every time Su Yueran appeared, she would wear exquisite makeup and look very calm and elegant.

    But now, she seemed to have suffered a blow and looked very withered.

    A man in a suit walked beside Su Yueran. It was not Lin Qingyuan, but a very handsome man who looked very gentlemanly.

    At that moment, the green light lit up. Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze, stepped on the elerator, and drove forward.

    By the roadside, Lin Qingdai looked at his nominal sister-inw and felt a little helpless.

    He had long heard about Lin Qingyuan and Su Yueran¡¯s marriage on the way.

    He was naturally familiar with Su Yueran.

    When he left China ten years ago, Su Yueran had already been brought back to the Lin family. The two of them had even interacted as siblings for nearly two to three years.

    Now that he was back in the country, his sister had be his sister-inw. Furthermore, looking at Su Yueran¡¯s condition, Lin Qingdai felt that something was wrong, but he could not ask.

    Just as Lin Qingdai was in a dilemma, Su Yueran looked up. ¡°Don¡¯t you still have to attend the blind date banquet? Go ahead. I¡¯ll go back myself. You don¡¯t have to send me back.¡±

    Lin Qingdai waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll leave after sending you back, Sister-inw.¡±

    ¡°No need,¡± Su Yueran insisted. ¡°I want to stay alone. You don¡¯t have to send me back anymore. Go back.¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Lin Qingdai hailed a car for Su Yueran before heading towards the Beijing Hotel.

    In the Beijing hotel, Jiang Kui and Jiang Yun were already waiting in the private room.

    ¡°What kind of expression is that? Are you preparing to let the second young master of the Lin familye to the funeral?¡± During the meeting in the morning at thepany, Jiang Yun had embarrassed Jiang Kui again. Jiang Kui hated her in his heart, and now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to mock Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Yun nced at Jiang Kui. ¡°No one asked you toe. Aren¡¯t you very busy?¡±

    Jiang Kui poured himself a ss of wine. ¡°Father asked me toe and supervise you on this marriage. Otherwise, you know Father¡¯s methods.¡±

    Jiang Yun turned away and ignored Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui smiled.?<i>Tsk, although Jiang Yun had embarrassed me in thepany, after leaving thepany, how could a woman like Jiang Yun turn the world upside down??</i>

    Just as they were about to reach the agreed time, the door of the private room suddenly opened and a handsome man walked in.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not familiar with the route to Beijing. I came a littlete.¡± Lin Qingdai walked forward and nodded politely at Jiang Kui.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Kui looked at the time. ¡°Young Master Lin, you¡¯re too polite. There are still five minutes before the agreed time. We were just early.¡±

    Lin Qingdai smiled gently, then took out a velvet box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yun.

    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± This was the first time Lin Qingdai had seen Jiang Yun. His eyes lit up and the tips of his ears turned red. ¡°Hello, my name is Lin Qingdai. Nice to meet you. This is my gift to you.¡±

    Although Jiang Yun hated marriage, Lin Qingdai still gave her a very gentle feeling. She reached out and took the box. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Lin Qingdai smiled and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Kui watched this scene from the side and was smug.?<i>It seemed that this marriage was sessful</i>. He handed Lin Qingdai a cigarette.

    Lin Qingdai waved his hand. ¡°Thank you, but I don¡¯t smoke.¡±

    ¡°What a good man.¡± Jiang Kui sat back and grinned. ¡°In that case, it seems that my sister, is very lucky. I wonder if Master Lin has told you about the marriage?¡±

    Lin Qingdai nced at Jiang Yun. Initially, he had some resistance, but now, he nodded. ¡°He did.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s not beat around the bush. My father and Master Lin want us to settle it as soon as possible. Ten dayster is an auspicious day. Why don¡¯t we get engaged that day? Ten days is enough for us to prepare.¡±

    Lin Qingdai nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Although he had been abroad for many years, his family was still in China.

    In other words, his family was in Lin Qingyuan¡¯s hands. Although Lin Qingdai resisted, he had no choice but to follow Lin Qingyuan¡¯s instructions.

    Furthermore, after seeing Jiang Yun¡¯s appearance, Lin Qingdai felt that he was not that resistant anymore.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Kui nced at Lin Qingdai and saw that he was looking at Jiang Yun. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first. Young Master Lin, please send my sister back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingdai stood up and sent Jiang Kui out.

    After Jiang Kui left, Lin Qingdai walked to Jiang Yun¡¯s side and said gently, ¡°Miss Jiang, let me send you back.¡±

    Jiang Yun nced at him. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Lin Qingdai knew at a nce that she was someone who had received a good education.

    He was elegant, gentle, and considerate. He would open the car door for Jiang Yun and carefully let her walk on the inside of the road. He would even care about her emotions when she spoke. Once he realized that Jiang Yun was not interested in the topic, he would quietly change it.

    In all fairness, Lin Qingdai was a very good person.

    If Jiang Yun had not met Xia Yu.

    Although Xia Yu was immature, he had the vigor that Jiang Yun would always yearn for.

    ¡°Miss Jiang, we¡¯re here.¡± Lin Qingdai¡¯s voice pulled Jiang Yun out of her thoughts.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yun nodded slightly at Lin Qingdai and walked in.

    Lin Qingdai stood rooted to the ground and watched Jiang Yun enter before getting into the car and leaving.

    On the way back, Lin Qingyuan called. ¡°How is it? Are you satisfied with your fianc¨¦e?¡±

    Lin Qingdai¡¯s ears flushed red. ¡°Thank you for your concern, Brother. We¡¯ve already discussed the engagement.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Lin Qingyuan was satisfied. ¡°Your sister-inw is in Beijing alone. Remember to help me take care of her.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Lin Qingdai held the steering wheel and crossed the night sky alone.

    Actually, how could he not know how Lin Qingyuan used him?

    But what could he do?

    Born in such a big family, all his roots were in the Lin family. It was equivalent to having Lin Qingyuan hold his neck.

    If only he was heartless enough and could abandon his family and friends and leave his hometown, he would not be restrained by Lin Qingyuan.

    However, his heart softened. He was not that heartless. He hated his weakness, but he was helpless.

    ¡ª¡ª

    When Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor, she told Jun Shiling about Su Yueran she had seen on the way. Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s unsurprised expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling must have known about this long ago.

    ¡°How did you know and not tell me?¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    Jun Shiling took the opportunity to pull Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand down and circle her on hisp.

    Xia Wanyuan red at him angrily. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist with one hand and moved his other hand on the keyboard. ¡°Why should I tell you? Su Yueran is not an important person.¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s the man beside Su Yueran?¡±

    ¡°The young master of the Lin family¡¯s second branch, Lin Qingdai, the person who is going to have a marriage alliance with Jiang Yun.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Marriage alliance?¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless. She thought of Xia Yu. ¡°Does Xia Yu know?¡±

    She could tell that Xia Yu still liked Jiang Yun very much.?<i>Now that Jiang Yun was about to get engaged, what would Xia Yu think if he returned and realized that the girl he liked was engaged??</i>

    Speaking of Xia Yu, Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Xia Yu back yet? Are you hiding something from me?¡±

    Half a month ago, they had already said that Xia Yu¡¯s team was about to return to China. It had been half a month, but they had not received any news.

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on her waist. ¡°How would I dare to hide anything from you? Xia Yu and the rest areing back soon. They¡¯ll definitely return to Beijing in half a month. I promise you, okay?¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s solemn words, Xia Wanyuan was relieved. ¡°Then I¡¯ll believe you for the time being. Let go. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand did not move. He hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Apany me to read the documents and I¡¯ll bathe with you. Isn¡¯t that fair?¡±

    ¡°Damn you.¡± Xia Wanyuanughed in anger.

    ¡°Alright, stop fooling around.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waistfortingly. ¡°Apany me, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had never been able to stand Jun Shiling using such words. She surrendered. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed her before looking at the document seriously.

    Xia Wanyuan apanied him for a while before remembering that there was something she had not told Jun Shiling.

    That she was going to America.

    Thinking of another tug of war, Xia Wanyuan felt a headache.

    Hence, while Jun Shiling was handling his work, Xia Wanyuan was thinking about how to make Jun Shiling happy.

    Thus, when it was time to sleep at night, Xia Wanyuan fiddled in the fitting room for a long time. Only when Jun Shiling came to the door to rush her did Xia Wanyuan return to the bedroom.

    ¡°Where did you go? You came back sote.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan warm the nket. Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, he moved to the side.

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She was wearing a coat and walked towards Jun Shiling.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jun Shiling looked at her in confusion.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to switch off the light, then pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand into his coat.

    In the darkness, Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing became heavy.

    His voice was a little hoarse. ¡°Tell me, what do you want from me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°CEO Jun, why are you so smart?¡±

    ¡°Cut it out.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tricks tonight were very flirtatious, Jun Shiling knew that it was definitely not a good thing to make Xia Wanyuan take the initiative to tease him.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned forward. In the darkness, the coat fell to the ground.

    Jun Shiling could not stand it anymore. ¡°Go back. Don¡¯t do this to me. Tell me what it is first.¡±

    Although he said that, his hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist did not rx at all. The warmth in his palm almost melted her.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to America. Five days.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling reached out to turn on the lights, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him. She took the initiative to step forward and try out the tricks she had learned in the video and had never tried with Jun Shiling.

    As expected, it had a miraculous effect.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan took advantage of him and obtained Jun Shiling¡¯s promise not to be angry.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°Bastard, why aren¡¯t you getting up?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Where did you learn it? Call me next time and we¡¯ll learn it together.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Can you get up?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Satisfied, Jun Shiling got up happily. However, thinking of Xia Wanyuan going to America, Jun Shiling was still a little worried.

    He was not worried about anything else when Xia Wanyuan went to America. He was worried about the Blue family.

    After some thought, Jun Shiling decided to apany Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°¡­ What should we do about the domestic matters?¡± It was an eventful period. If Jun Shiling was not in Beijing, Beijing would be in chaos.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Just care about yourself.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was amused.?<i>Alright, you¡¯re quite fierce.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the past few days, the country had been calm, but on the Inte, a recording quietly spread.

    ¡°Wow, I didn¡¯t expect the Chinese to be so confident. Or have they already bribed their opponent? Is this Xia Wanyuan who spoke the Xia Wanyuan we know?¡±

    [That¡¯s her. I know her voice. What kind of person is Xia Wanyuan? Why do I feel that she has to interfere everywhere?]

    [Funny, is the Chinese fencing team internationally famous?]

    [Hahaha, the person in front, let me tell you, no. Fencing is the most popr sport in Continent O. How can there really be anyone in China who knows fencing?]

    It was not easy for them to find a topic. A group of Han people with ulterior motives were leading the way on the Inte, trying to stir up the conflict between foreigners and China.

    Instantly, the outer was filled with mockery.

    There were even people who pushed the topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan champion¡± onto the trending list.

    When they clicked on it, it was naturally mockery.

    [Put your eyes here. When Xia Wanyuan wins the championship, I¡¯ll kowtow 100 times to everyone here, hahahaha.]

    [Then I¡¯lle too. If Xia Wanyuan wins the championship, I¡¯ll give ten yuan to everyone who likes it, okay?]

    [ Are you poisonous? You even specially opened a topic for Xia Wanyuan. How boring. She might just be talking nonsense. Is there a need to go so far? ]

    [ The person in front, our Han Country is only saying that the Lantern Festival is ours. Then why are you still chasing after us? ]

    Soon, the news spread to China, and theizens were silent.

    Everyone¡¯s first reaction was that this recording must have been faked.

    <i>Xia Wanyuan did not know how to fence, so how could she participate in a fencingpetition??</i>

    However, soon, someizens realized that the national fencing team had posted a post on their official Weibo.

    This post showed that the national fencing team was about to rush to America to participate in the world fencingpetition.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name was on the list of participants.

    [May I ask if this Xia Wanyuan is the Xia Wanyuan we know?]

    Theizens were a little stunned.

    Soon, the fencing team¡¯s official Weibo replied to theizens¡¯ments. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the Professor Xia Wanyuan that everyone knows!¡±

    Theizens teased the official Weibo for acting cute while expressing their shock at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s participation in the fencingpetition.

    [Yuan Yuan! How many more surprises do you have that I don¡¯t know about?]

    [Hahahahaha, Xia Wanyuan is amazing!! Forget about everything else, just kill them. What arrogance? Even if you lose, you won¡¯t lose face. You¡¯re the best!]

    [ Ah yes! Xia Wanyuan, you can do it! Charge!!! Take the championship back and scare this group of blind things to death. When their Chinese father was ying with the sword, this group of people was still digging mud somewhere. Now, they¡¯re riding on Daddy¡¯s head. ]

    After the chat between Xia Wanyuan and the fencing captain exploded, the team members were actually very nervous.

    Everyone was afraid of being mocked by theizens.

    After all, over the years, the fencing team had indeed not performed well. Their international reputation was not good either. Everyone had lost confidence in themselves.

    However, theizens¡¯ reaction surprised everyone and they were even a little touched.

    This was the first time that everyone began to feel their blood boil before thepetition.

    This time, no matter what, they had to do their best topete.

    With the strong support of the Chinese, everyone had to work hard.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, ever since they saved Lin Yi from those people, Xia Yu and Lin Yi had been walking along the southeast towards the coastal city.

    Along the way, they would always encounter wars everywhere. They could only rest during the day and travel at night to avoid being captured.

    In the dark night, Xia Yu pulled Stone with one hand and Lin Yi with the other.

    When they passed by a shoal, the three of them stopped.

    This was the safest path. There were people upstream and downstream not far from here. If they wanted to go to and opposite, they could only walk from here.

    Lin Yi nced at Xia Yu. ¡°Wait for me first. I¡¯ll go down and explore the water.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    With that, Lin Yi tightened her shirt, picked up a long stick from the side, and tried to walk across the river.

    The deepest part of the water reached Lin Yi¡¯s chest, so there should be no problem going over.

    Stone raised his hand first. ¡°Sister, I can swim over. I know how to swim.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then follow me.¡± Lin Yi nodded at the stone.

    Seeing that Xia Yu was about to go into the water, Lin Yi walked in front of him. ¡°I¡¯ll carry you over. Your wound can¡¯t be wet. We don¡¯t have any anti-inmmatory medicine anymore. There are many bacteria in the water. If it gets infected, the consequences will be unimaginable.¡±

    Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded. ¡°But I¡¯m heavier. It¡¯ll be hard on you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±

    As Lin Yi spoke, he went into the water first. Then, Xia Yu leaned on her back. Lin Yi looked at Stone. ¡°Swim with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The moonlight shone palely on this peaceful water area, and the water waves slowly floated out.

    Even though there was a certain buoyancy in the water, Lin Yi still could not take it when she carried Xia Yu, who was such a tall person.

    When she walked to the middle of the river, Lin Yi staggered and almost fell.

    However, considering Xia Yu¡¯s wound, Lin Yi still tried her best to stabilize her body. Then, she slowly carried Xia Yu ashore step by step.

    When they reached the other side of the river, Lin Yi¡¯s face was covered in sweat. Xia Yu reached out to wipe Lin Yi¡¯s sleeve.

    Lin Yi looked up and saw Xia Yu¡¯s handsome eyes. She was stunned.

    Xia Yu had only wiped it casually, but seeing Lin Yi¡¯s gaze, Xia Yu felt a little awkward. He retracted his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s continue on our way.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Yi stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked forward with his bag.

    ¡°Is it heavy?Do you need me to help you carry a bag?¡± Although Xia Yu was injured, he was too embarrassed to watch Lin Yi carry all sorts of things.

    Lin Yi dodged. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to differentiate between men and women in this ce. Take good care of your wound. Stone and I are still counting on you to protect us.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu did not say anything else.

    Lin Yi was carrying a bag and two in her hands.

    Stone was too young and could only take some very light things. Once Xia Yu took something, his wound would open, so Lin Yi¡¯s hand was not empty.

    Not long after, her forehead began to sweat.

    Under the moonlight, Xia Yu would wipe Lin Yi¡¯s sweat every time he walked for a while.

    Lin Yi felt that she had never been in such a sorry state.

    With a patient and a young child, they walked on the escape path. They had already eaten all their dry food and medicine. The three of them were exhausted from walking on dry roads and water.

    At this moment, the moonlight quietly shone on this drynd. There was an unknown nt fragrance in the air, and in the distance was a desert reflected by the moonlight.

    She was indeed in a sorry state.

    However, at the same time, Lin Yi felt that ever since her parents passed away, she had never been as calm as she was now.

    Lin Yi turned around and looked at Xia Yu¡¯s handsome side profile. He suddenly asked the question he had been wanting to ask. ¡°Thest time you were sick, you kept calling me Sister and Jiang Yun. Are they your family?¡±

    ¡°Sister is my family.¡± Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, longing appeared in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes. ¡°She¡¯s especially good. When I¡¯m in university, she¡¯ll prepare¡­¡±

    In the quiet night, Xia Yu began to talk about Xia Wanyuan.

    In Xia Yu¡¯s heart, Xia Wanyuan was the best person in the world, so when it came to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s good points, Xia Yu talked non-stop for a long time.

    Lin Yi listened quietly and did not interrupt him.

    After some time, Xia Yu finally stopped. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I spoke a little too much.¡±

    ¡°No, I quite like to hear it.¡± Even just listening to Xia Yu¡¯s description, Lin Yi felt that Xia Wanyuan was a good person to the core. ¡°Unfortunately, I haven¡¯t paid attention to China for a long time. When I have the chance, I really want to get to know your sister.¡±

    ¡°Sure. When we return to China, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± Speaking of food, Xia Yu recalled the food made by the chefs in the manor. ¡°My brother-inw¡¯s chef cooks really well. You must try it when you have the chance.¡±

    After saying that, Lin Yi finally asked calmly, ¡°Then who is Jiang Yun? You called out this name when you were sickst time.¡±

    Speaking of Jiang Yun, Xia Yu was clearly silent for a moment. His handsome face was hidden in the darkness, looking a little lonely. ¡°No one. Maybe you heard wrongly.¡±

    ¡°Alright, then I might have heard wrongly.¡± Although Xia Yu did not say anything, Lin Yi felt that she already understood.

    It was still night in Continent F, but it was already dawn in China. A ne carrying Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan was flying towards America from the Beijing airport.

    In the airport, Xiao Bao held Bo Xiao¡¯s hand with an unhappy expression. ¡°Daddy and Mommy aren¡¯t bringing me.¡±

    Bo Xiao smiled and pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Why? Aren¡¯t you happy living with me? Uncle Bo Xiao will be sad if you do this.¡±

    Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks and reached out to Bo Xiao, who picked him up.

    Xiao Bao kissed Bo Xiao on the cheek. ¡°No, let me secretly tell you, Uncle Bo Xiao that actually, I like you a little more than my father.¡±

    Bo Xiao was amused by Xiao Bao. He kissed Xiao Bao¡¯s pink face. ¡°You¡¯re filled with tricks. Uncle Bo Xiao will bring you to buy toys and then go home to y with your Auntie An Rao, okay?¡±

    Before Jiang Yun could speak, Jiang Kui spoke first. ¡°Father, the second young master of the Lin family is very satisfied with Sister. He even personally brought Sister over this morning.¡±

    Jiang Yun nced at Jiang Kui and did not speak.

    ¡°I told your sister to say it. Why are you so nosy?¡± Father Jiang had also heard about Jiang Kui targeting Jiang Yun in thepany. He looked at Jiang Kui in disappointment.

    He really suspected that Jiang Kui and Jiang Yun¡¯s genders had rebelled.<i>?If only Jiang Kui had Jiang Yun¡¯s personality.?</i>

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Yun took a sip of red wine, her cold face filled with calmness. Thinking of Lin Qingdai¡¯s gentle face, Jiang Yun nodded. ¡°Pretty good. Anyway, isn¡¯t my marriage always held by you, Father?¡±

    Only then was Mr. Jiang satisfied. ¡°I hope you remember what you said today. Let me tell you, the Jiang family and the Jun family are enemies. If you dare to have any thoughts about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother, I¡¯ll deal with you.¡±

    Jiang Yun felt that the red wine in her mouth was tasteless. She nodded. ¡°Got it, Father.¡±

    Jiang Kui watched from the side, gloating. He did not forget to make a sarcastic remark. ¡°Father, my sister has a strong personality. Don¡¯t drag the Jun family around when you¡¯re engaged. If you do that, where will our Jiang family¡¯s face go?¡±

    Jiang Yun ced the wine ss on the table with a bang. She looked at Jiang Kui coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t go overboard.¡±

    However, when he heard Jiang Kui¡¯s words, Father Jiang was deep in thought.

    Hence, after dinner, Father Jiang brought Jiang Yun to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

    ¡°Father?¡± Looking at the room full of tablets, Jiang Yun hesitated.

    Come here.¡± Father Jiang waved at Jiang Yun and made her stand in front of Jiang Yun¡¯s mother¡¯s memorial tablet.

    Looking at her mother¡¯s memorial tablet, the corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes turned red.

    ¡°Do you know how your mother died? Do you know why the Jun family and the Jiang family have an irreconcble hatred? Back then, I suspect that your mother¡¯s car ident was done by the Jun family.¡±

    As soon as Father Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Yun suddenly looked at him. ¡°How is that possible? Didn¡¯t they say it was because the road was slippery because of the rain?¡±

    Father Jiang reached out and threw a stack of documents in front of Jiang Yun. ¡°It¡¯s been so many years. Back then, the Jun family hid it well. They thought that I had already forgotten about this matter. They definitely didn¡¯t expect that I had actually been investigating. Recently, I finally found out many things about it back then.¡±

    Looking at the words on the information, Jiang Yun frowned.

    Father Jiang nced at Jiang Yun¡¯s expression. ¡°You and Jiang Kui should have a warm family. You don¡¯t have to be sent overseas so early. Our family should have lived happily. If not for the Jun family, none of this would have happened.¡±

    Jiang Yun lowered her head. ¡°So, what do you want me to do, Father?¡±

    Father Jiang stared at Jiang Yun. ¡°I want you to swear never to have anything to do with the Jun family and the Xia family. If you break the oath, your mother will never be able to live in peace in theherworld, and you will die a horrible death.¡±

    ¡°Father?!¡± Jiang Yun nodded abruptly and met Father Jiang¡¯s unquestionable gaze.

    ¡°Say it!!¡± Mr. Jiang hated the Jun family to the core. He would not allow his daughter to have anything to do with them.

    Jiang Yun clenched her fists tightly. Jiang Yun, who was usually strong, her eyes were slightly red.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t swear in front of your mother¡¯s memorial tablet today, then you¡¯ll never be my daughter again.¡± Father Jiang stared into Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes and pointed at Jiang Yun¡¯s mother¡¯s memorial tablet.

    Jiang Yun looked at her mother¡¯s memorial tablet in front of her and thought of Xia Yu. She suddenly felt that it was ridiculous.

    <i>Actually, I have nothing to insist on, right??</i>

    After all, she had hurt Xia Yu so much back then. Xia Yu must have hated her to the core.

    Jiang Yun hardened her heart. ¡°I swear that I will never have anything to do with the Jun family.¡±

    ¡°Alright, get up.¡± Mr. Jiang was satisfied. ¡°Remember what you said today.¡±

    Jiang Yun lowered her head, thinking about something.

    Father Jiang softened his attitude. ¡°Daughter, I¡¯m not an unreasonable person. Let me ask you, what¡¯s the character of that Second Young Master Lin? Be honest.¡±

    ¡°Pretty good,¡± Jiang Yun said after a while.

    ¡°I handpicked your husband, of course he¡¯s good.¡± Father Jiang tried to soften Jiang Yun¡¯s attitude. ¡°As a daughter of an aristocratic family, you have the heavy responsibility of the family¡¯s future. I hope that you won¡¯t let me down.¡±

    ¡°I understand, Father.¡± Jiang Yun nodded.

    ¡°Alright, go.¡± Only then did Father Jiang pat Jiang Yun¡¯s shoulder in satisfaction and smile at her.

    Jiang Yun walked out. In the living room, Jiang Kui looked at Jiang Yun calmly. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re leaving already? Aren¡¯t you staying a while longer? You won¡¯t have a chance to stay at home when you get married in the future.¡±

    Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Kui coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know who¡¯s adding fuel to the fire behind my marriage.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s only right for a brother to care about his sister.¡± Jiang Kui raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yun. ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t have to thank me.¡±

    Jiang Yun picked up her bag and walked out.

    Just as she walked out of the door, she saw a car parked not far away.

    Seeing Jiang Yune out, Lin Qingdai got out of the car and walked towards Jiang Yun. ¡°Miss Jiang.¡±

    Jiang Yun restrained the expression on her face and nodded at Lin Qingdai. ¡°Just call me Jiang Yun. Didn¡¯t I say that you don¡¯t have to pick me up?¡±

    Lin Qingdai¡¯s ears flushed red. ¡°But you¡¯re wearing high heels, so it¡¯s always inconvenient to drive. It¡¯s fine. Anyway, I¡¯m idle in Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Jiang Yun smiled and got into the car.

    Sensing that Jiang Yun was not in a good mood, Lin Qingdai did not speak much to her.

    The car was very quiet the entire way. Only the sound of the wind hitting the window could be heard.

    Lin Qingdai asionally nced at Jiang Yun from the rearview mirror and saw her lonely eyes.

    For some reason, Lin Qingdai¡¯s heart ached slightly when he saw her like this.

    He finally sent Jiang Yun to thepany.

    Lin Qingdai opened the car door for Jiang Yun. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡±

    Jiang Yun shook her head. ¡°No need. It¡¯s too much trouble for you.¡±

    Lin Qingdai looked at Jiang Yun very seriously. ¡°Originally, these words were very abrupt, but I want to say that since we¡¯re already preparing to get engaged, I also treat you as my family. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s very troublesome.¡±

    Looking at Lin Qingdai¡¯s serious gaze, Jiang Yun could not help but look away. ¡°Alright, as you wish.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡± A smile appeared in Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes.

    Looking at Lin Qingdai¡¯s handsome face, Jiang Yun forced a smile before turning to leave.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in Continent F, because of Lin Yi¡¯s question, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became very silent.

    Even in the darkness, Lin Yi could feel the disappointment and unhappiness on Xia Yu¡¯s face.

    She was really curious about what the girl Xia Yu liked and missed looked like, but she was not prepared to ask. After all, looking at Xia Yu, he did not intend to say anything at all.

    Stone was the first to be unable to stand this silent atmosphere. He jumped out and held Xia Yu¡¯s hand. ¡°Brother Xia Yu, you said just now that you would treat us to delicious food. Is that true?¡±

    Xia Yu pulled himself out of his emotions and looked down at Stone. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Stone shook Xia Yu¡¯s arm. ¡°When we leave this ce, bring me and Sister Lin Yi. Let¡¯s eat delicious food together, okay?¡±

    Xia Yu looked up at Lin Yi. In the night, Lin Yi¡¯s eyes were immersed in the moonlight in the desert, shining brightly and gently.

    Xia Yu nodded. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡±

    At that moment, a light suddenly appeared in the dark sky.

    Xia Yu was the first to notice the light. He pulled Lin Yi and Stone¡¯s hands and quickly hid in a withered cactus forest.

    ¡°Shh, don¡¯t make a sound.¡± Xia Yu stopped Stone¡¯s struggle with his eyes.

    The helicopter¡¯s searchlight was in the sky, clearing the way for the SUV on the ground.

    On the road not far away, a group of SUVs slowly drove past.

    When the searchlight shone through the car window, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes turned cold.

    He frowned in confusion.

    <i>Why did that elegant side profile look so much like the Wei Zimu I had seen before??</i>

    <i>But wasn¡¯t Wei Zimu in Beijing? Why was he here??</i>

    Just as Xia Yu was about to see if it was Wei Zimu, the searchlight swept over. Xia Yu hurriedly retracted his head and hid behind the cactus.

    The helicopter rumbled forward, and the SUV followed below.

    Seeing that the convoy was about to cross the cactus forest, Xia Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

    However, under the cactus, a snake that had been circling for a long time finally opened its eyes.

    Xia Yu sensed that Stone was struggling violently and frowned as he looked at him. He realized that in front of Stone, a gray snake was sticking its tongue out at them.

    Xia Yu recognized at a nce that this was the most poisonous snake in the desert. One bite was enough to kill them.

    He decisively threw Lin Yi and the stone back, then took the knife beside his leg and stabbed the snake seven inches.

    The snake was dead,

    However, themotion here was also captured by the infrared detector on the helicopter.

    The convoy that had already walked far away immediately rushed over.

    In this endless desert with almost no cover, Xia Yu and the rest could not leave even if they wanted to.

    Fortunately, they had already changed their clothes before leaving the city. Now, they looked like fugitives who had been forced to leave home because of the war.

    The convoy surrounded Xia Yu and the rest. The bright car lights illuminated Xia Yu and the rest. Arge group of people got out of the car with guns in their hands, as if they were going to finish them off here at any time.

    ¡°Brother Xia Yu.¡± Although this was not the first time he had faced such a scene, the fear of death still made Stone very afraid. He held Xia Yu¡¯s hand tightly.

    Xia Yu was actually afraid. In Continent F, there were nows or morals. There were only lives that were more worthless than grass.

    He gave Lin Yi a look, and Lin Yi immediately understood. She raised her hands, and so did Xia Yu. Then, he tore off a piece of Lin Yi¡¯s white shirt and waved at the other party.

    The crowd around them did not dissipate, as if they were waiting for someone¡¯s order.

    ¡°Report, there are suspicious people in front. Do you want to settle them directly?¡± The subordinate walked to the car window and reported to the person inside.

    The car window was rolled down, revealing Wei Zimu¡¯s handsome and elegant face.

    ¡°Bring them over.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Soon, a group of people brought Xia Yu and the rest to the car with guns.

    The moment Xia Yu looked up and saw Wei Zimu, his pupils constricted.

    He knew that Wei Zimu and Xia Wanyuan had a good rtionship, and the smile on his face had already appeared.

    At this moment, Wei Zimu suddenly spoke. His expression was cold, as if he had never known Xia Yu. ¡°Chinese?¡±

    Xia Yu was extremely smart. He immediately pretended not to know Wei Zimu. ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    Xia Yu nced at Lin Yi. ¡°I originally brought my wife and child to visit my family. After the war, I lost my passport and everything. I can¡¯t return to China.¡±

    After hearing his words, Wei Zimu nced at Xia Yu. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°Lin Yu,¡± Xia Yu said to Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Alright, they¡¯re just unimportant passers-by. Ignore them. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Zimu retracted his gaze from Xia Yu and gave his subordinate an order.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Now that Wei Zimu was a firm person in the team, no one objected to Wei Zimu¡¯s words.

    Watching the convoy leave, Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Fortunately, we were lucky to meet the Chinese.¡±

    However, before she could finish speaking, the convoy not far away suddenly turned around and surrounded Xia Yu and the rest again.

    Wei Zimu leaned against the car window and nced at Xia Yu. ¡°He¡¯s the person we¡¯re looking for. Capture him.¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s expression turned cold as he looked at Wei Zimu.

    However, Wei Zimupletely ignored Xia Yu¡¯s gaze and only gestured for everyone to take Xia Yu and the rest away.

    After a cloud of dust, the desert regained its peace, as if no one had ever appeared in this ce.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After more than ten hours of flight, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling finally arrived in Continent M.

    It had been about half a year since hest came to America.

    It was spring in America and the weather was good. Xia Wanyuan had been cooped up in the ne for more than ten hours. Now that she saw the blue sky, her mood was much better.

    Xia Wanyuan stretched. ¡°It¡¯s so tiring to fly.¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled her hand over and massaged it for her, but Xia Wanyuan pped it away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me outside.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes clearly indicating that he disagreed. ¡°Since when do I need to wait for the right time to hug my wife?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan red at him. ¡°If you mess around again, you¡¯re not allowed to follow me for the next few days.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling sighed.

    <i>Sigh, it was hard to convince a stubborn wife.?</i>

    Jun Shiling could only maintain a distance from his wife like a gentleman. The two of them walked out of the airport and the car that had been arranged was already waiting by the roadside.

    It was still the castle where he lived when he participated in the paintingpetition.

    The butler saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walk over together and smiled kindly.

    Because this was the second time they hade, everyone already knew Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s habits better.

    Xia Wanyuan had just changed her clothes when the fruit sd was brought to her.

    ¡°The program recording is at night.¡± Xia Wanyuan ate her sd as she walked towards Jun Shiling. ¡°If you¡¯re not free, I¡¯ll go myself.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up. ¡°I want to go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned and sat on the sofa, but Jun Shiling¡¯s hand had already wrapped around her.

    Holding Xia Wanyuan down as she wanted to struggle, Jun Shiling tasted the half-eaten sd in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say not to mess around outside? We¡¯re at home now. Aren¡¯t you letting me hug you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Why are you hugging me every day?¡±

    Jun Shiling scratched her waist. ¡°Is it illegal to hug your wife?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shrank back from his scratch, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

    Jun Shiling scratched again. ¡°Huh? Is it illegal?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was most afraid of tickles. She smiled and replied, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. It¡¯s not illegal.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling hug her in satisfaction. ¡°What time tonight?¡±

    ¡°Seven, so we¡¯ll leave at five.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan got up to change after a nap.

    Jun Shiling was originally reading documents. When he heard Xia Wanyuaning downstairs, he looked up and his eyes froze.

    Actually, Jun Shiling had never seen Xia Wanyuan officially wear ancient clothes.

    Every time he went to pick Xia Wanyuan up from the set, she would already be changed.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a green cored dress.

    Exquisite embroidery flowed with ayer of water on the satin. On the wide skirt, there were auspicious clouds spread out, as prosperous as brocade.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair was tied up behind her head with a jade hairpin. Her perfect facial features were iparably beautiful under the beautiful dress.

    Xia Wanyuan was usually used to being casual. Now that she was suddenly dressed so gorgeously, Jun Shiling was momentarily speechless.

    Perhaps because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity, she was especially suitable to wear ancient clothes.

    Especially when she wore a dignified dress with a cor, her temperament became very special.

    Although she was standing on the stairs in the Western architectural style, she had changed everything around her with her personal temperament, as if she was in a pce from a thousand years ago.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was staring at her, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to take a look. ¡°Don¡¯t my clothes look good? I modified them and got someone to embroider twoyers of clouds.¡±

    ¡°Very beautiful.¡± The shock in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes had not disappeared. He felt it from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Why do I feel that I don¡¯t get tired of you? You¡¯re always more beautiful every time.¡±

    Although they were already an old couple, Xia Wanyuan could not deal with Jun Shiling¡¯s praises. Her cheeks flushed red. ¡°Can you be more serious?¡±

    The powder on her face happened to match the light-colored flowers on her body. At that moment, Jun Shiling seemed to see endless spring and vitality on Xia Wanyuan.

    When he reacted, Jun Shiling was a little jealous. ¡°You always have to dress so well on shows.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a pillow from the side and threw it at Jun Shiling. ¡°If you continue fooling around, I¡¯ll go myself.¡±

    A hint of bitterness appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He smiled and stood up. ¡°Sigh, who asked me to be afraid of my wife? Let¡¯s go, my dear wife.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out. Even the servants passing by were inevitably stunned by Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, the American television station was already prepared to record a program.

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan was considered a popr person overseas.

    Knowing that she would participate in the recording of this episode, everyone was already waiting in the live-stream.

    [Coming,ing,ing. Chineseizens are here to report!!! Yuan Yuan, you can do it! You¡¯re the best!]

    [ Howl! Goddess, I love you. I¡¯m from a very small country in Continent F, but that doesn¡¯t stop me from being attracted to you. ]

    [Hehe, thief simida, trash Xia Wanyuan, you only know how to steal from us.]

    Before Xia Wanyuan appeared, thements had already begun to argue.

    Theizens on both sides were evenly matched, and thements were overturned.

    At this moment, the familiar program began.

    The host sat in front of the stage. ¡°Wee to today¡¯s program. I believe everyone is looking forward to it. During this period of time, a female celebrity from China has shared some Chinese videos on FINS, causing everyone to discuss fervently. Today, we invited Xia Wanyuan to the venue and asked her to share some Chinese culture with us. Everyone, wee.¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, a familiar music sounded. A figure slowly walked up from backstage.

    It was not an exaggeration to say that the people in the studio were stunned.

    As people from America, if they did not deliberately watch the news in China, they would not understand who Xia Wanyuan was.

    This was the first time many people had seen Xia Wanyuan in person, including the host.

    They looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes. Although they did not know what she was wearing, she looked really beautiful.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s perfect facial features seemed to light up the entire studio.

    The host searched for a long time and finally found his voice.

    ¡°Oh my god, I think I can understand why so many people like you.¡±

    The host approached Xia Wanyuan and smiled at her.

    He even wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, a cough came from the middle of the first row of the studio.

    The host finally calmed down and retracted his hand that was about to hug Xia Wanyuan.

    The first row in the middle was for big shots. He understood.

    [Although the camera isn¡¯t on the audience, I¡¯m guessing blindly that this cough came from CEO Jun. Hahahaha.]

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. CEO Jun, I¡¯m already sitting here. How dare you hug my wife? Are you tired of living?]

    [The host still doesn¡¯t know that he has just brushed past death, 233,333.]

    On the stage, the host brought Xia Wanyuan to sit down. ¡°Do you know? During this period of time, your video has caused a heated discussion on FINS. Manyizens are interested in the video you posted. Can youmunicate with us and tell us why you did this?¡±

    The host used english, and Xia Wanyuan replied in extremely fluent english. The trantor the production team had specially prepared for her waspletely useless.

    Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big screen behind the host. ¡°It¡¯s mainly because I like it. I brought some photos and videos. We can take a look together.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan began to exin the various materials she used to make these videos.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was talking about thentern festival, she had mastered it and mentioned all aspects of China.

    Xia Wanyuan sat there demurely, her body exuding an obvious ssical aura that even foreigners could feel.

    However, she spoke fluent English again and spoke confidently to the people in the studio. The content she spoke involved all aspects of politics, economics, culture, and society, as if there was nothing she could not do.

    The host¡¯s eyes lit up at the side.

    He had been a host for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Wanyuan. She made one feel as if the sea contained all rivers.

    The host asked Xia Wanyuan ording to the established question. At this moment, he admired Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of his heart.

    Many foreign people did not know China well, and they did not have any channels to understand it in the past.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was standing in front of them.

    The impression Xia Wanyuan gave them was that of China to a certain extent.

    Hence, in the hearts of many viewers who did not know China, they subconsciouslybeled China.

    For example, history, beauty, atmosphere, ssical, and the hundred rivers.

    These were all extracted from Xia Wanyuan.

    [Are all the girls in China so beautiful? I¡¯m so curious. What kind of ce will have such a woman? I¡¯ve decided to go to China next summer.]

    [To be honest, my impression of China is still of those old movies where people roll up their pants and nt seedlings in the mud. However, Xia Wanyuan seems to be telling me that my impression is actually wrong.]

    [ Wow, I¡¯m so touched. Xia Wanyuan has really made us proud. This is the most magnanimous woman nurtured by my deep Chinese culture. Oh my god, I love my goddess too much. ]

    The audience in the live-stream kept increasing.

    The program also reached the media interview segment.

    The host looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes filled with approval for her. ¡°Other than the audience being very curious about you, many media reporters also want tomunicate with you. Next is the media interview segment. Do you need an interpreter?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. Jun Shiling knew more than tenmon foreignnguages and would usually teach her.

    In addition, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s learning ability was strong enough. Hence, the current Xia Wanyuan was no longer an old antique who could not even understand Xiao Bao¡¯s English textbooks when she first arrived.

    ¡°Alright, then please start asking questions.¡±

    At this moment, many reporters were sitting in the audience. Everyone fought to ask Xia Wanyuan questions.

    Many reporters came here to obtain explosive news.

    Hence, these reporters¡¯ questions were not as gentle as the host¡¯s. Many of them had strange hostility.

    The second question was from a reporter from Country Han.

    The current Xia Wanyuan was probably ranked in the top three in Han Country.

    After all, if not for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video, Country Han¡¯s Lantern Festival would have been sessfully applied.

    In addition, because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s existence, many Chineseizens went to the foreign website to argue with Country Han¡¯sizens, causing the public opinion of Country Han and China to reach a very intense moment of conflict.

    This reporter naturally hated Xia Wanyuan very much. She looked at the clothes on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, I want to ask you. The clothes you¡¯re wearing seem to be a little simr to our Han Country¡¯s traditional clothes. Do you like our Han Country¡¯s traditional clothes?¡±

    Hearing this question, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

    This reporter¡¯s question was actually very ingenious. She had even dug a hole for Xia Wanyuan.

    If it were anyone else, they might be in a dilemma, but Xia Wanyuan was very calm.

    She nced at the reporter. ¡°I do like it.¡±

    Just as she finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°After all, I like Chinese traditional clothes.¡±

 Chapter 1179 - Perfect Face Slap

    <h4>Chapter 1179: Perfect Face p</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were very subtle.

    The reporter asked Xia Wanyuan why she liked clothes that were simr to the style of Han Country, but Xia Wanyuan replied that she liked Chinese clothes.

    These words sounded like Han Country¡¯s clothes belonged to China.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not say it directly. If she criticized her out of nowhere, it would seem like she was thinking too much.

    The reporter from Country Han was momentarily speechless. She looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and was still a little indignant. ¡°Miss Xia, do you know anything about our Country Han¡¯s clothes? May I ask why are the Chinese clothes so simr to Country Han¡¯s? Did they borrow the style of Country Han¡¯s clothes?¡±

    When she said this, not to mention Xia Wanyuan, even the Chineseizens in the live-stream exploded.

    [ South Korea is shameless!! When your father conquered the world in Chinese clothes, you were still ying with soil in the mud hole!! ]

    [I¡¯m vomiting. What kind of face does this reporter have? F*ck, he even borrowed from your Han Country. Your face is really wider than the Pacific Ocean. Han Country¡¯s clothes were originally borrowed from China.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is a thief, simida. The details of China¡¯s Han clothes stealing our country. China is a thief, and the Chinese are also thieves. ]

    At the news venue, after the reporter finished speaking, she felt Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze turn cold.

    Facing that pair of cold eyes, the reporter felt a little guilty. However, thinking that as long as she could embarrass Xia Wanyuan, she would be able to obtain arge amount of support from Country Han, she mustered her courage and looked at Xia Wanyuan, looking like she wanted to get an answer from her.

    Xia Wanyuan did not answer her question directly. Instead, she asked, ¡°Are you from Han Country?¡±

    The reporter nodded. ¡°I¡¯m from the Great Han Nation.¡±

    ¡°Then since you¡¯re very familiar with this question, you should know Country Han¡¯s clothing history very well, right?¡±

    The reporter¡¯s eyes shed with smugness. ¡°Of course. I usually like to study the fashion history of our country.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and stood up.

    The traditional clothes she was wearing had a very dignified aura. In addition to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s aura, she looked very imposing, making one unconsciously feel pressured.

    ¡°Before the Han Dynasty was formed, the popr clothes in China were clothes made of straw and wide sleeves. Deep clothes were used as clothing, and after deep clothes, a kind of clothing that was cut from top to bottom appeared¡­

    The wide sleeves and long length were one of the obvious characteristics of the sleeve shape of the gown in Chinese clothes. The gown in Chinese clothes usually had wide sleeves. The Northern and Southern Dynasties were mainly made of Chinese robes, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties were half-exposed¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had thousands of years of fashion history.

    From the characteristics of clothes to the style of clothes popr in various dynasties, and the jewelry that matched the clothes,

    From the Xia Dynasty to modern times, endless history and rigorous data.

    Xia Wanyuan even used a pen to draw a tableau on the screen beside her.

    Her painting skills were good to begin with. Even though everyone did not know China¡¯s culture, they could feel an extremely strong beauty from the clothes disyed on the screen.

    Everyone present was dumbfounded.

    They had seen people who were wild, but they had never seen someone so wild.

    Actually, everyone present was not stupid. Everyone could tell that the reporter was causing trouble for Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan would argue with her. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would casually fish out the history of China¡¯s clothing transformation, just like this walking history album?

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she stopped and looked at the reporter. ¡°You love your country¡¯s clothes so much, so you should know them very well, right? I¡¯d like to hear the details. Also, I¡¯m quite curious when Han Country spread the style of clothes to China.¡±

    The reporter¡¯s face turned pale. Sensing theplicated gazes around her, she gritted her teeth. ¡°Professor Xia is indeed Professor Xia. Schrs are indeed sharp-tongued.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight at the reporter. ¡°China itself is a country that values culture.¡±

    The reporter¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She sat down with a dejected expression.

    [ F*ck!! It kills the heart, hahahaha. Amazing, how does Xia Wanyuan know so much!! Let the reporters be cheap!! She even ran to foreign news to smear China. Serves her right!! ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is amazing. This is the best way to p her in the face, hahaha. I¡¯m so happy to see that reporter unable to speak. Didn¡¯t you say how amazing your country¡¯s clothes were every day? Why? You can¡¯t even exin the origin of history now. Why aren¡¯t you jumping anymore? A group of uncultured things. ]

    [ I¡¯m from France, but I admire Xia Wanyuan very much. I should say that I admire everyone who defends the dignity of their country like this. ]

    In the studio, after the farce just now, the next questions became very normal.

    After hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, the host was very impressed by her.

    As the two of them chatted, they unknowingly talked about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s recent schedule.

    ¡°Miss Xia, how many times have youe to America?¡±

    ¡°Two.¡±

    ¡°There are many beautiful ces in America.¡± The host invited Xia Wanyuan enthusiastically. ¡°Miss Xia, if you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯m willing to be your tour guide. When you have time, I¡¯ll bring you around America.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, but I don¡¯t have that n for now.¡±

    ¡°I heard that Miss Xia is going to participate in the fencingpetition this time?¡± The host usually liked such sports, so he was very sensitive to such news from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not hide it.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect this.¡± The host was nearly 1.9 meters tall. He was shocked.

    After all, in the eyes of foreigners, the Chinese were very thin and weak, as if they could fall with a push.

    And Xia Wanyuan looked even smaller in front of him. He felt that one of his arms was thicker than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs, so it was difficult to imagine that Xia Wanyuan knew fencing.

    At this moment, an audience in the audience raised obvious doubts. ¡°You¡¯re so thin. How can you fence? Are you joking?¡±

    The female reporter, who had just been embarrassed by Xia Wanyuan, echoed, ¡°Fencing is more popr overseas. How many people in China like this sport?¡±

    Everyone was indeed very impressed by China¡¯s history. After all, those real things were there.

    However, in the minds of modern people, fencing was a sport passed down from the nobles of Continent O. Seeing Xia Wanyuan so weak, no one believed it.

    The host looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, if you don¡¯t mind, can you perform for us?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Sure.¡±

    Anyway, there were only five minutes left until the end of the recording. Xia Wanyuan felt that performing swordsmanship would end this interview.

    The production team quickly brought the props up.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up her sword and did not start gesturing as everyone had imagined.

    Instead, she took her sword and poked an apple on the table.

    Everyone was stunned.<i>?What was she doing?</i>

    Just as the audience began to whisper, Xia Wanyuan finally moved.

    Her wrist trembled slightly, and the sword in her hand seemed to have a soul, turning into a roaring dragon.

    The apple on the tip of the sword was thrown into the air. Xia Wanyuan drew more than ten sword flowers in the air.

    Everyone was dazzled and could not see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword shadow clearly. They only knew that the speed of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword was so fast that it was an afterimage.

    After a while, the afterimage finally dissipated. Xia Wanyuan stopped.

    At this moment, the tip of the sword was still the apple from before without any damage.

    The host pped repeatedly. ¡°That¡¯s amazing! You used your sword so quickly and did so many actions, but the apple didn¡¯t fall and you weren¡¯t injured at all. I believe your control of strength must be very precise.¡±

    The audience was also prepared to praise her.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist trembled and she ced the apple back on the fruit te.

    Then, the tip of the sword raised slightly, and the skin outside the apple fell off, revealing the plump flesh inside.

    ???

    The live audience and the audience in the live-stream felt the same.

    [ F*ck my eyes! What¡¯s going on? Yuan Yuan, how many more surprises are you going to give me? ]

    [That¡¯s amazing. I told you that Chinese people know martial arts!! Alright, you don¡¯t have to exin anymore!! Pick a Chinese person to teach me Qinggong on the spot. I¡¯ll buy you food every day!]

    [ Howl, the misunderstanding that everyone in China knows martial arts seems to be deepening again. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve dragged everyone down. I¡¯m a useless person. ]

    In the broadcasting room, the host thought that Xia Wanyuan was already very amazing. He did not expect her to be even more amazing.

    Looking at the apple on the table that was cut even smoother than a machine, the host felt that his worldview over the past few decades had been impacted.

    <i>So sword techniques could reach this level too?</i>

    At this moment, the program had already been recorded.

    The host wanted to pull Xia Wanyuan along to say a few more words and ask her to acknowledge him as her disciple.

    However, Jun Shiling had already walked forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    The host widened his eyes at Jun Shiling. ¡°I still have questions.¡±

    ¡°You can tell me if you have any questions.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°I¡¯m her husband.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The host silently swallowed his words of leaving his contact information.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked out. Along the way, he received many gazes.

    ¡°How can you be jealous?¡± Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°Is there anything else you¡¯re not jealous of, CEO Jun?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her. ¡°When you¡¯re old and be an olddy, you won¡¯t walk out and a lot of people will covet you.¡±

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Petty.¡±

    Jun Shiling did notment.

    <i>So what if I¡¯m petty??</i>

    The two of them chatted as they left the television building.

    A tall blond man with blue eyes stood at the entrance of the building. The man seemed to have been looking at Xia Wanyuan.

    Sensing this gaze, Xia Wanyuan looked over and met a pair of blue eyes.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan look at him, Wayne waved his hand excitedly. ¡°Goddess!! Angel!!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan really wanted to ask who this was.

    However, thest word this man called out sounded very familiar to Xia Wanyuan.

    Beside Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling looked at Wayne thoughtfully, then reached out and hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. He even stood in front of Xia Wanyuan, blocking Wayne¡¯s vision.

    Wayne was a little unhappy that he could not see his goddess anymore. He nced at Jun Shiling and strode over. ¡°Hello, CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°Young Master Wayne of the Blue family, why are you here today?¡±

    Wayne looked over Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m here to chase celebrities.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Wayne in amusement.

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s introduction, she knew who Wayne was.

    Back then, someone from America had sent a letter to the manor to remind her that ¡°someone from the Blue family would harm her¡±.

    Now it seemed that the person who had sent the letter was Wayne.

    ¡°My wife is not feeling well and is not suitable to see guests.¡± Jun Shiling blocked Xia Wanyuan.

    Wayne looked around for a long time but did not see Xia Wanyuan. He was furious.

    He knew that idols shouldn¡¯t get married! It was so fragrant to start a career alone! Now that she was married, not only did she have to be controlled by a control freak like Jun Shiling, but she also couldn¡¯t interact with male fans openly.

    Wayne looked disappointed.

    Although he did not like Jun Shiling, Wayne still reminded him, ¡°There have been many changes in the Blue family recently. You have to protect my Angel.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened when he heard Wayne¡¯s address. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Only then did Wayne look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. I still have something on.¡±

    After Wayne left, Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Is this the second young master of the Blue family?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Looking in the direction Wayne left, Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve received any news about the changes in the Blue family.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling out. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t think too much now. Let¡¯s go back and conserve our energy.¡±

    After recording the show for so long, Xia Wanyuan was hungry and tired. Now, she only wanted to eat and sleep.

    Back at the castle, Xia Wanyuan slept early after dinner.

    Jun Shiling covered her with the nket and had just walked out of the bedroom when the butler walked over. ¡°Young Master, a gentleman who calls himself Fang Jin outside wants to see Madam.¡±

    ¡°Fang Jin?¡± Jun Shiling frowned slightly. ¡°Let him in.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, the butler led a young man in. It was Fang Jin, who had appeared in Beijingst year and had briefly interacted with Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Jun Shiling, Fang Jin bowed and saluted him. ¡°CEO Jun, sorry to disturb you.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and looked at the newspaper in his hand quietly.

    ¡°Yes, the doctor gave Mr. Blue a notice of critical illness. His only wish now is to see Xia Wanyuan. I came over now to ask Madam Jun if she¡¯s willing to see him.¡±

    The current Mr. Blue was already terminally ill. He was clearly about to lose consciousness, but as long as he heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, he would still have some reaction.

    Fang Jin had followed him for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen the iron-blooded Mr. Blue so fragile. The doctor had already given thest notice, so Fang Jin wanted him to have this wish.

    Jun Shiling put the newspaper aside. ¡°No.¡±

 Chapter 1180 - Confrontation

    <h4>Chapter 1180: Confrontation</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Fang Jin was a little stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s straightforward rejection. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Fang Jin. ¡°What¡¯s there to see? So what if she sees him?¡±

    In the past, when Jun Shiling did not know Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity, he had never thought of letting Xia Wanyuan contact Mr. Blue. After all, that was a matter of the previous generation.

    <i>In the process of Xia Wanyuan growing up, that man had never fulfilled his responsibility as a father. Now, he had turned around and wanted to acknowledge Xia Wanyuan. What was there to acknowledge?</i>

    Furthermore, now that Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity, he did not want her to go.

    Thinking of Mr. Blue lying on the bed and breathing with difficulty, a hint of pity shed across Fang Jin¡¯s eyes. ¡°CEO Jun, in the end, she still has to make the decision herself, right?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned even colder. ¡°My meaning can represent hers.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling was so determined, Fang Jin did not say anything else. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you.¡±

    Not long after Fang Jin left, Xia Wanyuan woke up and walked out of the bedroom.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling waved at her. Xia Wanyuan walked over and sat beside Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Fang Jin came just now and wanted you to visit Mr. Blue. I rejected him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. ¡°Okay.¡±

    There was nothing wrong with what Jun Shiling had done.

    Now, if she went to see Mr. Blue, it would only cause a lot of trouble.

    ¡°Did you sleep well?¡± Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m hungry.¡± Xia Wanyuan had indeed exhausted her brain and physicalbor too quickly today. After lying down for a while, she felt hungry again.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to eat.¡± Jun Shiling took the clothes from the side and put them on Xia Wanyuan, then held her hand and left the castle.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment in China, the moon was high in the sky.

    Lin Qingyuan sat in the courtyard with a ck figure sitting in front of him.

    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what wind can blow you here.¡± Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea and looked at the person sitting in front of him with deep fear in his eyes.

    The light shone warmly in the small courtyard, but it was as if all the light could notnd on the man in ck.

    ¡°I missed the sessor ceremony of the Lin family. I came specially to congratte you.¡± Yu Qian looked at Lin Qingyuan without any emotions in his eyes.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Lin Qingyuan smelled the fragrance of the tea leaves and sized up Yu Qian. ¡°Mr. Yu, where did youe from this time? Speaking of which, I¡¯ve known you for so long, but I still don¡¯t know who you are.¡±

    At this point, Lin Qingyuan felt a deep sense of helplessness.

    Speaking of which, Lin Qingyuan had known Yu Qian for nearly ten years.

    After Lin Qingyuan was chased out of the Lin family, he was trafficked overseas.

    He had been forced to be a ve, walk through private matters, and do all sorts of shameful things.

    Ten years ago, Lin Qingyuan fought with someone in the underground arena in Rome.

    Although his physique could notpare to the tall people of Continent O, he had an unyielding spirit. He was like a wild beast that had been forced into a corner and was biting its opponent crazily.

    At that time, no one in the arena could defeat him.

    It was also at this moment that Yu Qian looked for him.

    He could still remember how Yu Qian had walked over and asked him, when he was sitting at the side and bandaging his bloody wound, ¡°Do you want to go back to the Lin family?¡±

    He looked into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes and thought for a while. In the end, he replied, ¡°Yes.¡±

    To his surprise, Yu Qian did not say anything and turned to leave.

    Later on, just as Lin Qingyuan had forgotten about Yu Qian, who had appeared out of nowhere, Yu Qian appeared again and paid him a ransom to get him out of that dark underground arena.

    In addition, Yu Qian had also helped him change his information and sent him to Harvard for further studies, allowing him to obtain a doctorate.

    However, after that, Yu Qian disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

    At this moment, Lin Qingyuan was no longer the trapped beast that had been thrown into the arena. He had knowledge and connections.

    He worked hard step by step and took everything around him for himself. He built his career and ran the domesticwork. In the end, he returned to China and took over the Lin family.

    Just as he was about to forget about Yu Qian, he appeared again.

    Lin Qingyuan really could not understand Yu Qian. ¡°I want to know why you came to look for me? Do you need me to repay your kindness to me back then?¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I never show mercy.¡±

    ¡°Then what about you?¡±

    ¡°I only do deals.¡± Yu Qian finally picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea. ¡°Has the Lin family never thought of extending their tentacles to the north?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Since ancient times, the south had been very developed. However, as a big family, money was not the core that could determine the extension of the family.

    The core was power.

    How much power could the south have? The focus of power was in the north, but there were the Jun family and the Jiang family in the north. It was simply wishful thinking for the other families to reach out.

    Yu Qian nced at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    ¡°How are you going to help me?¡± Lin Qingyuan looked at Yu Qian in confusion. ¡°Who are you?¡±

    More than ten years ago, Yu Qian had been able to enter and leave the underground arena freely and save him from that ce that could cover the sky.?<i>Now, his words actually showed that he could control the situation in China. Who was he?</i>

    Yu Qian smiled, his eyes still as cold. ¡°I¡¯m someone who can help you.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you need me to do?¡± Lin Qingyuan was naturally not stupid enough to think that Yu Qian was helping him for free.

    ¡°The Lin family¡¯s hospital and medicine industry seem to be doing very well.¡± Yu Qian finally said his intentions.

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s expression turned cold.

    The Lin family¡¯s ancestors had started from the herb industry. Later on, they started selling herbs and extended to variousrge industries. Now, they could be said to be the best in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± The profits of the pharmaceutical industry were very high. Only then did Lin Qingyuan understand that Yu Qian was here for the profits.

    ¡°Cooperation. That¡¯s what I mean.¡± Yu Qian stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll be in China for the next few days. Give Master Lin two days to consider. I hope Master Lin can give me a satisfactory answer when the timees.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan also stood up. ¡°I don¡¯t think you need my little profit.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan could tell that Yu Qian¡¯s connections were extraordinary.?<i>Why would hee to China to take a share??</i>

    Yu Qian did not intend to talk to Lin Qingyuan in detail. He smiled slightly. ¡°This is not something you should consider, Master Lin.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned around and left, gradually disappearing into the night.

    Behind him, Lin Qingyuan suddenly shivered for some reason.

    Yu Qian walked out of the Lin family¡¯s door. Just as he got into the car, a call came.

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Boss, Young Master Wei has already caught the person you want to catch.¡± Jayce reported to Yu Qian. ¡°Young Master Wei asked if you want to exchange him for the ransom now.¡±

    Yu Qian nced at the Lin family¡¯s door that had already left. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let Brother contact me first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, Wei Zimu called.

    ¡°Brother.¡± The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°How is it? Are you okay?¡±

    Wei Zimu ignored Yu Qian¡¯s concern and looked at Xia Yu, who was sitting not far away. ¡°We¡¯ve already captured him. What should we do?¡±

    ¡°Bring him back to me first.¡±

    Wei Zimu frowned slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to exchange him for ransom? Why are we bringing him back?¡±

    Yu Qian tapped his leg gently. ¡°Are you questioning my words?¡±

    ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll bring him back.¡± With that, Wei Zimu hung up.

    Hearing the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered.

    On the other hand, Xia Yu looked at Wei Zimu with guarded eyes. ¡°Who are you? Why did you approach my sister back then?¡±

    Although Xia Yu did not know much, he knew that Wei Zimu and Xia Wanyuan had a good rtionship.

    However, the Wei Zimu Xia Yu had seen in the past two days was decisive in killing. He even had several teams under him. In Continent F, where there was frequent war, Wei Zimu came and went freely. It was obvious that this was arge faction that everyone was afraid of.

    Wei Zimu nced at Xia Yu and walked over to p him. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Xia Yu looked at Wei Zimu hatefully. ¡°Where did you put them?¡±

    Ever since Xia Yu woke up, he had not seen Lin Yi and Stone.

    ¡°You want to see them? Sure.¡± Wei Zimu waved his hand and his subordinate brought Lin Yi and Stone in.

    The two of them were not injured, but it was obvious that they had been crying for a long time. Their faces were filled with tears. Seeing Xia Yu, Lin Yi struggled toe over, but she was held back by the guards.

    Wei Zimu nced at Xia Yu, who suddenly began to scold Wei Zimu. He used all sorts of unpleasant words, and the already cramped room was filled with Xia Yu¡¯s angry scolding.

    Wei Zimu picked up the cup on the table and sshed it at Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu wiped the tea off his face. ¡°Let me tell you, if I go out one day, I will definitely¡­¡±

    Xia Yu scolded for a long time. The guard at the side finally could not help but say, ¡°Young Master Wei, why don¡¯t we inject him with a tranquilizer? This is too noisy. The brothers still need to rest.¡±

    It waste at night and Xia Yu was too noisy.

    Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°Then go get your things.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Soon, the guard brought over a pile of medicine and needles. The doctor prepared them ording to the dosage and injected the medicine into Xia Yu¡¯s body.

    Not long after, the lively Xia Yu gradually closed his eyes.

    Wei Zimu nced at the unconscious Xia Yu and waved his hand. ¡°Alright, go and rest.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The guards locked Lin Yi and Stone in the room and left.

    Wei Zimu left the room surrounded by everyone. When he walked out of the door, Wei Zimu looked back and a dark look shed across his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In America, Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to a very famous garden restaurant in America.

    It was spring. From the door to the inside, there were flowers everywhere.

    Xia Wanyuan felt that it was very beautiful, and her eyes lit up. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I still remember the first time you brought me out for a meal. That ce is as beautiful as this ce.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°As long as you like it.¡±

    The two of them were walking in when they bumped into a group of people walking out.

    When their eyes met, the person opposite him looked a little embarrassed.

    ¡°Teacher, why aren¡¯t you walking anymore?¡± Li Na walked out and was puzzled when she saw Master Danny stop.

    However, when she looked ahead, she stopped.

    Master Danny was an internationally renowned painting master. Although he did not recognize her at first, when he saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting,

    He had already understood that in fact, in the international paintingpetition, the winner of the Gold Award should have been Xia Wanyuan, but her name had been changed.

    However, it was already toote when he found out. The news of him taking in Li Na as his disciple had already spread throughout the world. If he went back on his word now, his reputation would be destroyed.

    Hence, Master Danny chose to be silent and pretended not to know that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting was the real Gold Award.

    However, he did not expect that Xia Wanyuan would rely on her own ability to sessfully be on par with him and be a member of the International Painter Association.

    Hence, when he saw Xia Wanyuan, Master Danny felt a little embarrassed.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, he felt as if he had been pped in the face.

    Xia Wanyuan did not care much about this so-called master. She walked straight forward, and Jun Shiling followed her.

    Li Na nced at Jun Shiling and suddenly stepped forward to greet Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. ¡°What a coincidence to meet CEO Jun and Madam Jun here. Are you here to eat?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her. ¡°What else?¡±

    Li Na smiled. ¡°We¡¯re here to eat too. Master Danny was just saying that there¡¯s a very talented painter in China. What a coincidence. Why don¡¯t we have a meal together?¡±

    Master Danny also stood up. ¡°Yes, Little Xia, I liked your painting in Chinast time. Let¡¯s have a meal together today andmunicate.¡±

    It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to be speechless.

    In fact, she was really quite curious.?<i>Of the two of them, one had stolen my painting and be a Gold Award winner, while the other had a blinded conscience and had acknowledged Li Na as his disciple. Now, they were still strutting in front of me and pretending that nothing had happened. What were they thinking?</i>

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling had already walked forward. He pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and looked down at Li Na. ¡°Miss Li Na, you should apologize for stealing my wife¡¯s painting first before inviting my wife to dinner.¡±

    Then, Jun Shiling looked at Master Danny. ¡°What should a thief¡¯s teacher be?¡±

    No one present had expected Jun Shiling to fall out with them so directly. The scene fell silent.

    Li Naughed dryly. ¡°CEO Jun, you really know how to joke.¡±

 Chapter 1181 - Falling Out

    <h4>Chapter 1181: Falling Out</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Li Na¡¯s face was filled with embarrassment, let alone Master Danny. His entire face was red.

    Li Na and Master Danny were not the only ones who came out for a meal this time. There were also other colleagues in the painting world.

    Now that they heard Jun Shiling¡¯s words, everyone had subtle expressions on their faces. Their probing gazes could not help butnd on Li Na and Master Danny.

    <i>What did this mean? Could it be that the Gold Award for the World Competition was actually Xia Wanyuan and Li Na reced her??</i>

    Seeing that the way they looked at her was getting more and moreplicated, Li Na gritted her teeth. ¡°CEO Jun, you still like to joke as usual.¡±

    Master Danny also stood up. ¡°That¡¯s right. CEO Jun, you really know how to joke. It¡¯s rare to meet you today. Our family happens to have a gathering. I wonder if CEO Jun is willing to attend?¡±

    When Master Danny said this, everyone¡¯s expressions changed.

    Everyone knew that Master Danny came from the Carmel family, a famous official power family in America.

    Countless people racked their brains to have a deeper rtionship with the Carmel family. Today, Master Danny actually personally invited Jun Shiling to the Carmel family¡¯s banquet. This was considered a huge honor.

    However, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, who were present, knew very well that this was not inviting Jun Shiling to a banquet. This was clearly a threat to Jun Shiling to give Master Danny a way out on ount of the Carmel family.

    Unfortunately, Jun Shiling had no intention of giving him a way out.

    Jun Shiling nced at Master Danny. ¡°You don¡¯t understand British English? Then I can say it again in the American English. What is a thief¡¯s teacher?¡±

    This was considered Jun Shiling not answering Master Danny¡¯s threat. Master Danny¡¯s expression changed. ¡°CEO Jun, watch your words. You have to have evidence when you speak. You have to be responsible for saying that my disciple is a thief.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and walked in. He looked down at Li Na. ¡°Of course you can have evidence. It¡¯s just that after the evidence is taken out, it¡¯s up to you whether you can bear it.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked into the dining room.

    At the entrance of the restaurant, facing everyone¡¯s suspicious gazes, Master Danny smiled. ¡°They¡¯re Chinese. You know, arrogant and conceited.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Even if everyone was suspicious, no one would say it in front of Master Danny. After all, the Carmel family stood behind him. No one could afford to offend them.

    When had Li Na ever suffered such humiliation? She pursed her lips and followed Master Danny. The group quickly left the dining room.

    In the dining room, Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Is it okay to fall out?¡±

    After all, Master Danny had the Carmel family behind him.

    Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°What can he do alone? Furthermore, the Carmel family has been using their power for a long time to interfere with the Jun Corporation¡¯s businesses in America. We have long fallen out in secret. Now, we¡¯re just showing it to the public.¡±

    Only then was Xia Wanyuan relieved. Then, she smiled. ¡°CEO Jun, you don¡¯t have any protective feelings for the fairer sex.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Aren¡¯t I protective of the fairer sex? When have I not protective of you? I¡¯m just short of cing you in my palm and serving you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan squeezed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°I was just joking. Why are you taking it seriously again?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly. ¡°I think you¡¯re looking for trouble.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan squeezed to the side and sat beside Jun Shiling. She took a dessert from the table and fed it to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, calm down.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Only you know how to.¡±

    The two of them joked andughed as they finished dinner.

    On the other hand, Li Na endured the strange gazes of others and returned home. Just as she entered, she threw her bag to the ground.

    ¡°Aiyo, my good daughter, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Man walked over and picked up Li Na¡¯s bag. ¡°Who provoked my good daughter?¡±

    Li Na pounced into Zhang Man¡¯s arms. ¡°Mother, that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling bullied me.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why is Xia Wanyuan here in America?¡± Zhang Man still did not understand the situation.

    Li Na¡¯s eyes were filled with jealousy. ¡°I suspect that they came on purpose. Today, in front of so many people, Jun Shiling called me a thief and said that I stole Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting.¡±

    Hearing this, disbelief shed across Zhang Man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Jun Shiling really said that?¡±

    Li Na nodded. Zhang Man pulled Li Na to sit on the sofa. ¡°Jun Shiling is still the head of the Jun Corporation. We can¡¯t provoke him directly. Calm down first. Don¡¯t worry, Mommy has a way.¡±

    Li Na looked at Zhang Man in confusion. ¡°What way?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhang Man patted Li Na¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, go up and practice your painting.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Since her mother had said so, Li Na did not say anything else. She took her bag and walked upstairs.

    Watching Li Na¡¯s back disappear into the stairwell, a few traces of anxiety appeared in Zhang Man¡¯s eyes.

    Unlike Li Na, Zhang Man was most worried that Xia Wanyuan hade to America to inherit Mr. Blue¡¯s inheritance.

    There was already news that Xia Wanyuan was Mr. Blue¡¯s daughter.

    Zhang Man had already felt that Xia Wanyuan looked like him. Now, at the critical moment before Mr. Blue¡¯s death, Xia Wanyuan had actuallye to America.

    This made it difficult for her not to think too much.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Man panicked. She made a call. ¡°Hello, this is Zhang Man¡­¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, Lin Yi and Stone were locked beside Xia Yu. Seeing Xia Yu fall asleep, Lin Yi¡¯s face was filled with worry.

    Stone¡¯s eyes were swollen from crying. ¡°Sister Lin Yi, will Brother Xia Yu be fine?¡±

    Lin Yi looked at Xia Yu with a heavy expression. Seeing that his face was pale, she was worried. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. We¡¯re all locked here now. I don¡¯t know when we can get out.¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s injuries were already very serious. Without enough medicine to treat them, Lin Yi could smell the inmmation of Xia Yu¡¯s wounds.

    If this continued, Xia Yu would fall into a high fever in less than a day. Fever in such an environment was simply a dead end.

    Lin Yi was still thinking about Xia Yu¡¯s situation when Stone looked at Xia Yu quietly for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes widened. He ran towards Xia Yu with all his might, but his limbs were locked by the chains.

    ¡°Sister Lin Yi, why isn¡¯t Brother Xia Yu breathing?¡±

    Stone shouted at Lin Yi. That was not the case just now. Although Xia Yu¡¯s breathing was weak just now, one could see that he was slowly breathing. Now, Stone could not see any fluctuations on Xia Yu¡¯s body.

    Lin Yi¡¯s expression turned cold. She looked at Xia Yu and studied him seriously for a moment. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted, ¡°Someone!!¡±

    Stone cried with her. Soon, a guard walked in. ¡°Why are you shouting? Are you looking for a beating in the middle of the night??¡±

    Lin Yi¡¯s hand that was pointing at Xia Yu was trembling. ¡°You killed him.¡±

    The guard frowned and nced at Xia Yu. ¡°Bullsh*t. I only injected a little tranquilizer. Little girl, stop talking nonsense here. Shut up, or I¡¯ll p you to death.¡±

    Lin Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Xia Yu. ¡°This is someone your leader values very much. If anything happens to him, how many heads can you bear?¡±

    The guard was really frightened by her words. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still went forward to check Xia Yu¡¯s breathing. With this check, the guard stood up straight.

    <i>Why isn¡¯t he breathing?!</i>

    He walked forward again and checked all the arteries on Xia Yu seriously this time. There was no movement.

    <i>Oh no!</i>?Cold sweat broke out on the guard¡¯s face. He stood up and hurriedly shouted and pressed the rm on his body.

    Soon, the doctor and Wei Zimu walked into the room.

    The doctor carefully diagnosed Xia Yu and even inserted all sorts of needles in him. In the end, he shook his head. ¡°Young Master Wei, this person probably overdosed on tranquilizers and can¡¯t be saved.¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°How did you overdose? Didn¡¯t I tell you to use the medicine ording to the dosage?¡±

    The doctor was a little terrified. ¡°We followed the normal dosage, but this little brother¡¯s injuries were serious. We didn¡¯t notice that we used too much, causing the patient to die from shock.¡±

    As the doctor spoke, admiration shed across his eyes.

    To be honest, it had been almost two to three days since Xia Yu was captured.

    This person did not show that he was a patient at all. He did not even cry out in pain when he was tortured.

    It was even more impossible for doctors like them to treat a prisoner every day.

    Now, no one realized that Xia Yu was so seriously injured. It was toote to regret it.

    Wei Zimu nced at Xia Yu. ¡°How unlucky.¡±

    The doctor persuaded, ¡°Young Master Wei, the temperature here is high. After a person dies, it¡¯s very easy for bacteria to grow. It¡¯s best to deal with him as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will give birth to bacteria.¡±

    Wei Zimu frowned. ¡°What for? Bring him back underground and see if he needs it.¡±

    ¡°Uh¡­¡± The doctor was in a difficult position. He thought to himself,<i>?What¡¯s so good about this corpse? The boss is a doctor himself. He definitely knows the logic of bacteria breeding and won¡¯t agree to move the person back.?</i>Hence, the doctor suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we report the matter to the boss and see what he says?¡±

    Soon, the call from Yu Qian was connected.

    ¡°Brother?¡±

    ¡°The person you want is dead. I want to bring him back. The doctor won¡¯t let me. Tell him yourself.¡±

    As Wei Zimu spoke, he handed the phone to the doctor. The doctor took it and reported Xia Yu¡¯s various data to Yu Qian in fear and trepidation. In the end, he kept persuading Yu Qian not to bring him back, as he was a moving petri dish.

    In the end, Yu Qian agreed. The doctor returned the phone to Wei Zimu. ¡°Young Master Wei, the boss has agreed to cremate this person on the spot.¡±

    Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu looked around and finally chose two people. ¡°The two of you, carry them to the junkyard ten miles away and burn them. Don¡¯t burn them here and pollute the environment for no reason.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± When the two of them received the order, resistance subconsciously shed across their eyes.

    <i>Ten miles and three people. That was too far.?</i>

    However, they had no choice but to listen to Wei Zimu.

    The two of them found a wooden nk and carried Xia Yu up, quickly walking towards the junkyard.

    When they were about to approach, a fatter person said, ¡°There¡¯s a saying in my hometown that we can¡¯t burn people. They¡¯lle back for us.¡±

    At that moment, it was dark all around. From time to time, some unknown strange birds would cry. Anotherpanion was more timid and his heart trembled when he heard this. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t scare me. I¡¯m very timid.¡±

    ¡°Really.¡± The fatter person really did not want to carry them deeper into the junkyard. He continued to scare hispanion. ¡°I heard that this ce is a mass grave. There are corpses everywhere. You¡¯ll be haunted by ghosts if you go in.¡±

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s leave him here. He¡¯s dead anyway. Why should we keep him?¡± Hispanion could not stand such words, especially in such a gloomy environment. He threw the stretcher away and pulled his otherpanion back.

    From time to time, there was the sound of the wind in the dump. It sounded like the roar of evil spirits. The two 1.9 meters tall men were so frightened by the sound that they did not dare to turn around.

    The two of them ran away. Lin Yi and Stone, who had been injected with tranquilizers, were also thrown to the ground, together with Xia Yu on the stretcher.

    At that moment, the world was pitch-ck. Other than the sobs of the wind blowing through the junkyard, there was nothing else.

    The three people on the groundy in a ball. A handful of yellow sand floated over and covered the three of them.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In America, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling returned to the castle after dinner.

    Xia Wanyuan was preparing lesson materials in the bedroom, while Jun Shiling was contacting his subordinates in the study.

    ¡°Reporting, sir. ording to the traces left by Xia Yu, we followed him to a rtivelyrge city in State F. A team of people has taken Xia Yu hostage. We¡¯ve been observing them for the past few days, but we haven¡¯t found a chance.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly. ¡°Is Xia Yu safe?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s safe for the time being. We have observed their daily food scores.¡±

    ¡°Continue searching. You must save Xia Yu within two days.¡± Jun Shiling gave hisst instructions.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Just as the subordinate hung up the video call, someone came to report, ¡°We¡¯ve already discovered Xia Yu¡¯s traces. Someone left just now at night.¡±

    ¡°Go now.¡±

    With that, a group of off-road vehicles set off in a deep forest. A fewrge groups of armed people sat in the cars.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Themotion here quickly attracted the attention of others.

    Other than Wei Zimu, a group of people also noticed themotion.

    At that moment, the Chu family members were reporting the situation to Chu Yi.

    Hearing the scene described by his subordinate, Chu Yi tapped his finger on the table. ¡°I believe they¡¯ve found him. We don¡¯t have to go up and join in the fun anymore.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After hanging up, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. On the sofa not far away, Feng Wuyou was sleeping peacefully.

    A hint of gentleness shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes, but it was covered up. He stood up and made a call.

    ¡°Hello, are you in China?¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The person on the other end of the line replied quickly. Chu Yi frowned slightly as he listened. ¡°Why are we going there?¡±

    The other party said something else.

    Chu Yi nced at Feng Wuyou on the sofa. ¡°Then, are you going to look for me, or should I look for you?¡±

    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll go over and meet you.¡±

    Feng Wuyou, who was on the sofa, seemed to have been woken up by the sound of the phone. The moment she woke up, Chu Yi had already hung up.

    ¡°Who are you calling?¡± Feng Wuyou stretched and yawned. She did not sleep well and was still a little sleepy.

    ¡°It¡¯s a man.¡± Chu Yi handed the phone to Feng Wuyou and nced at it. The contact name on the interface was a man¡¯s name.

    Feng Wuyou did not suspect Chu Yi much. She waved at Chu Yi and he sat down obediently.

    ¡°Shall we go to America tonight?¡±

    Chu Yi looked at Feng Wuyou in surprise. ¡°Why are you suddenly going to France?¡±

    ¡°Because my favorite band has a concert in France tomorrow. I want to see it. Can you apany me?¡±

    Most importantly, Feng Wuyou needed Chu Yi to apany him.

    Over the past few days, ever since the two of them confirmed their rtionship, Feng Wuyou had be more and more fond of Chu Yi.

    She realized that Chu Yi suited her in all aspects. Not only was he good-looking and good-tempered, but he was also gentlemanly and considerate. He was simply a good boyfriend.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Chu Yi smiled. ¡°I can apany you wherever you want.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Feng Wuyou hugged Chu Yi happily.

    Chu Yi stroked her hair and pulled her into his arms.

    Feng Wuyou nestled happily in front of Chu Yi¡¯s chest, not noticing the dark glint in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    America,

    In thergest sports venue in America, a globalpetition was being held. All the major official media were waiting here to report.

    Ever since the Inte revealed that Xia Wanyuan would participate in this fencingpetition, the domestic news media had arrived early to wait.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity could earn attention even by lying down. Which news media did not like to report on her?

    Fencingpetitions were very popr overseas. After all, it was very entertaining and had a strong sense of attack. It made one¡¯s heart surge, and they were nervous and excited.

    The audience seats were gradually filled.

    In the audience seat in the first row, a tall man was about to sit down, but when he nced at the person in the seat beside him, surprise shed across his eyes.

    ¡°Cousin, why are you here?¡±

    Li Na turned to look at Wayne, the surprise in her eyes deepening. ¡°Cousin? Why haven¡¯t I heard that you like fencing?¡±

    Wayne turned around coldly and sat in his seat. ¡°Oh, I just fell in love with this sport recently. Why?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Li Na shook her head.

    She had never thought of connecting Wayne and Xia Wanyuan. These two looked like people who could not get along.

    Wayne secretly stuffed the Xia Wanyuan support banner in his hand into his pocket, then coughed lightly to hide it. ¡°I wonder what¡¯s so interesting about today¡¯s fencingpetition. Cousin, do you know?¡±

    Li Na had been sent by Zhang Man to receive all sorts of noble education since she was young, so she naturally knew these things very well.

    ¡°¡­ In short, the greatest possibility of winning the championship this time is on Jesse. Currently, there¡¯s no one that can surpass him internationally in terms of skills.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number one fanboy, Wayne, nodded on the surface, but in fact, he wasining crazily in his heart.<i>?Bullshit! My goddess, Xia Wanyuan, is clearly the most amazing!!!</i>

    Li Na tidied her clothes. Thepetition was about to begin. Li Na looked up and saw a familiar face in the team.

    The reason was simple. After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face could be recognized at a nce even if she was wearing the same team uniform.

    Li Na frowned.?<i>Why can I see Xia Wanyuan everywhere?</i>

    At that moment, someone walked over from Li Na¡¯s right and sat down on her right.

    Li Na turned around and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s cold and handsome face.

    Although she had been mocked by Jun Shilingst night, Li Na¡¯s heart still skipped a beat when she saw this face.

    Though Li Na had been brought up by the orthodox American education, her cultural ideals were Western.

    However, the aesthetics engraved in her genes could not be changed.

    Li Na had never liked tall American men since she was young. She preferred the traditional handsomeness of Chinese men.

    And Jun Shiling¡¯s face happened to be this handsome master who stood at the peak of her aesthetic standards.

    Li Na hesitated for a moment and finally could not help but talk to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, what a coincidence. Why are you here too?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan and he did not answer Li Na.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s neglect, Li Na felt a little embarrassed. She added, ¡°Mrs. Jun actually came to participate in the fencingpetition? She actually knows these?¡±

    This time, Jun Shiling finally paid attention to Li Na for once. His eyes were filled with pride for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°She¡¯s very good.¡±

    Disdain shed across Li Na¡¯s eyes, but her face was still filled with a smile. ¡°CEO Jun¡¯s wife is naturally very good.¡±

    Jun Shiling replied calmly. Li Na seemed to be encouraged. She surrounded the topic of Xia Wanyuan and turned to speak to Jun Shiling from time to time.

    In the venue, Xia Wanyuan asionally looked up and saw Li Na talking to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you ready?¡± The captain walked over. It was obvious that he was a little nervous.

    After all, it had been a few years and the Chinese team had not achieved any good results. This time, the captain ced the heavy burden on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at the captain. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan would not boast like this for other aspects, but in terms of swordsmanship, Xia Wanyuan was still very confident in herself.

    The captain nodded and walked to the side to instruct the others.

    At this moment, in the other teams, everyone was discussing tactics.

    ¡°Captain, there seems to be a new person in China. I¡¯ve never heard of this athlete before. What¡¯s her background?¡±

    The American team members were puzzled when they saw that unfamiliar face.

    <i>Why did a neer suddenly appear? Could it be a killer mace that the Chinese team had secretly hidden?</i>

    The captain shook his head in disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that person is a very rich celebrity in China. There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of. Just follow your usual standards.¡±

    At first, when he saw such a person on the list, the captain was very anxious.

    In the end, he was relieved after checking Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information.

    <i>So she was just a rich wife from a rich family and was a celebrity herself. She knew fencing? Impossible.</i>

    ording to the captain¡¯s guess, Xia Wanyuan should have spent money to buy a spot for her to participate in thepetition.

    After all, rich people were used to enjoying everything, so they began to pursue fame and fortune.

    The captain did not see Xia Wanyuan as a threat.

    With the captain¡¯sfort, the others were relieved.

    However, when thepetition began, everyone could not believe the score on the scoreboard.

    Thepetition used a one-on-one rotation system.

    The athletes who could participate in such arge-scale worldpetition were all the most outstanding in their country.

    Hence, suchpetitions usually did not take long and would often fall into a tug-of-war state.

    However, what surprised the contestants and the audience was that Xia Wanyuan eliminated her opponent a little too quickly.

    She always made one move to hit the opponent.

    To be honest, not only did the audience not see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s move clearly, but even her opponent did not know how he was eliminated.

    For some reason, the automatic judgment device began to sound, and he lost.

    After Xia Wanyuan eliminated nearly five people in a row, everyone met andined.

    Then, they realized that not only did he not see it clearly, but she also did not see it clearly.

    Hence, after some discussion, they went to the arbitrationmittee of thepetition and requested topete again to question the fairness of thepetition.

    After the Arbitration Council received the application, they quickly began to review thepetition. However, the final oue was that there were no problems with thepetition and it maintained the original oue.

    The athletes were furious and got into a conflict with the staff in front of the Arbitration Council.

    Looking at the noisy scene at the Arbitration Council, Li Na turned her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Madam Jun to defeat the world championst year. How amazing. I didn¡¯t even see how she attacked.¡±

    Although Li Na said that, her eyes were filled with mockery.

    She had thought that Xia Wanyuan was only here to experience what fencingpetition was, but she did not expect her to be so bold.

    <i>How dare she fake it in such an internationalpetition? Did she really think that she could control thepetition venue in America??</i>

    Li Na had been sent by Zhang Man to train fencing since she was young. Although her skills were not professional enough, she was still considered half a professional.

    Xia Wanyuan had clearly not really hit the other party just now, but the device rang. It was obvious that she had bribed the referee.

    Not only did Li Na think so, but the audience watching the World Fencing Competition was also filled with anger.

    The few people who had been eliminated by Xia Wanyuan were all pirs of some national fencing teams.

    The audience could not ept that such a world champion hadpletely died in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands.

    [ This is too fake. I want a rematch. Can money do whatever it wants now? Is Xia Wanyuan too arrogant? Does she really think that she can control thepetition just because she¡¯s the wife of the richest man? ]

    [I¡¯m vomiting. There are so many world champions, but no one saw how Xia Wanyuan attacked. They were all eliminated. Even if she wants to y tricks, she should restrain herself. Are they swaggeringly treating the audience as fools?]

    [I¡¯ve watchedpetitions for so many years, but I¡¯ve never been so speechless. The Arbitration Council is simply dead. What¡¯s the use of them? A group of bribed trash.]

    Not only were the international audience cursing, but even the domesticizens felt embarrassed when they saw the video.

    [ Well, actually, Xia Wanyuan is already very amazing. She¡¯s already a representative of the country. There¡¯s really no need to fight for first ce in everything. ]

    [ That¡¯s right¡­ Originally, everyone admired her for being all-rounded, but there¡¯s really no meaning in relying on tricks to be the champion. Now that Xia Wanyuan has done this, I¡¯m a little disappointed in her. Is it because she was praised too much that she really thinks she can do anything? ]

    The Inte was in an uproar. Soon, various organizations began to call the Arbitration Council.

    Originally, before thepetition ended, the relevant internal videos could not be transmitted to the outside.

    However, the pressure of public opinion was too great, so the Arbitration Council could only release the video of Xia Wanyuanpeting with others.

    This video had been slowed down ten times.

    In the video, everyone finally saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s move clearly. It turned out that she was not casual.

    0.01 seconds after the audience¡¯s eyes rolled, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword had already broken through the air andpleted three sword moves in the air.

    Theizens were a little stunned after watching the speed reduction video released by the Arbitration Council.

    <i>Is this still a fencingpetition? Are you sure it¡¯s not magic??</i>

    At this moment, in thepetition venue, thepetition was halfway through and the intermission began.

    ¡°What should we do? Captain, didn¡¯t you say that Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t know how to fence at all?¡± The team members had obvious panic and worry on their faces.

    Just as they got off the stage, someone showed them the video sent by the Arbitration Council.

    The professionals looked at the skill. Everyone looked at it for a few seconds and knew how big the gap between them and Xia Wanyuan was.

    The captain was also a little confused. ¡°How can that be? I¡¯ve investigated this person. There¡¯s no news that she knows fencing.¡±

    However, now was not the time to dwell on this. The most important thing was to stop Xia Wanyuan¡¯s winning streak.

    At this rate, Xia Wanyuan would definitely win the individualpetition, and the Chinese team would win the group world championship because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high score.

    America was a big country in all aspects, and it upied the forefront of all sports.

    Now, the World Competition was held in America.

    The news of America dominating the top three had already been released before thepetition. If someone snatched the championship away now, it would be extremely embarrassing.

    The captain¡¯s eyes darted around and his gazended on a very tall member of the team. He hooked his finger at the member. ¡°John,e with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± John followed the captain out to a quiet ce.

    The captain looked around and then looked at John. ¡°I know you¡¯ve always wanted to be an official national sports coach. This time, I¡¯ll give you a chance. As long as you seize it, I can protect you and make you a coach when I go back.¡±

    John¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really? What do you need me to do?¡±

    The captain waved at John. John leaned over and listened to him. Then he nodded. ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry.¡±

    At this moment, in the arena, the captain of the Chinese team looked at Xia Wanyuan with shining eyes.

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills were good, but he did not expect her to be so good. ¡°You¡¯re too amazing. My decision to poach you this time was the best I¡¯ve ever made.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Captain, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Actually, she did not say that she really did not use much strength. In her opinion, the opponent just now was just average.

    In her previous life, her opponent was her master, the number one swordsman in the Great Xia Dynasty.

    She was used to her master¡¯s fast speed and strange moves. In her opinion, these people were very slow and even their moves were old-fashioned.

    ¡°Alright, all the best. After you win the championship, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± With that, the captain walked away happily.

    <i>Aiya, it was all thanks to Xia Wanyuan. This time, there was probably hope for a promotion and a raise.?</i>

    In the audience, Li Na had also seen the slow video released by the Arbitration Council. She had just mocked Jun Shiling for spending money to buy a ranking for Xia Wanyuan, but now, she felt a little embarrassed.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Madam Jun¡¯s sword skills to be so superb.¡±

    Jun Shiling originally wanted to ignore Li Na, but after she praised Xia Wanyuan, there was a hint of smugness in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Of course. My wife is naturally the most amazing.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Seeing Jun Shiling praise Xia Wanyuan so bluntly, Li Na was a little stunned.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome side profile, Li Na pursed her lips.

    She felt a little ufortable.?<i>Why did good men belong to others so early?</i>

    Thepetition on the field began again. In the audience, Li Na¡¯s thoughts were all on Jun Shiling.

    She could not help but imagine that if she was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife and she was the one participating in thepetition on stage, would Jun Shiling look at her with the same affectionate gaze?

    Thinking of this, although nothing had happened yet, Li Na¡¯s heart could not help but flutter.

    The West was more open, and Li Na¡¯s ideas were more inclined to Western education.

    She thought that love came first. If only Jun Shiling could like me and divorce Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>At that time, not only would I be able to get what I wanted, but the Blue family would also be able to join forces with the Jun Corporation. At that time, wouldn¡¯t we dominate the world and be invincible?</i>

    Thinking of this, Li Na turned around and secretly nced at Jun Shiling, but Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was all on the stage.

    At this moment, the contestants were already prepared in the arena.

    Both parties bowed. John nced at Xia Wanyuan, surprised by her astonishing beauty, and thought to himself that it was a pity.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect China to have a talent with exquisite swordsmanship like you.¡± John¡¯s eyes revealed some admiration.

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°Then let me ask you for guidance,¡± John said as he cupped his hands and picked up his sword.

    He held the hilt and slowly stroked it with his fingers.

    With the referee¡¯s order, both sides entered a prepared state.

    The further one went, the stronger the contestants¡¯ standards would be. After all, afteryers of selection, those who remained were all experts among experts.

    The moment she exchanged blows with John, Xia Wanyuan raised her guard to the maximum.

    John was not like the few people in front. His sword moves were more pragmatic. Because he was pragmatic, he was very difficult to deal with.

    After exchanging a few moves with him, Xia Wanyuan figured out the changes in his moves.

    Xia Wanyuan twisted her wrist and was about to hit him with a move.

    At this moment, their swords were intertwined and they were very close to Xia Wanyuan.

    John¡¯s sword suddenly turned at a subtle angle, and the light reflected from the sword dazzled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously narrowed her eyes. Unexpectedly, seeing this light, she felt dizzy for a moment.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was in a daze, John pulled out his sword and shed at her shoulder.

    The referee stopped him but did not stop him.

    After all, during thepetition, everyone was wearing special protective clothing that could not be cut.

    John was already an expert at the peak of the world. The speed of his sword strike was extremely fast and strong.

    Xia Wanyuan immediately felt that something was wrong. Her eyes were still a little blurry, so she dodged instinctively.

    Although she avoided fatal damage, her right shoulder was still inevitably hit by John.

    With a ripping sound, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s protective suit broke. John¡¯s sword shed straight at her shoulder.

    In an instant, Xia Wanyuan felt a heart-wrenching pain.

    The moment the protective suit broke, everyone was shocked.

    Jun Shiling, who was sitting in the first row, immediately stood up and walked into the venue.

    A staff member wanted to stop Jun Shiling, but he was so frightened by Jun Shiling¡¯s aura that he did not dare to step forward.

    ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Jun Shiling walked onto the stage and squatted beside Xia Wanyuan. He pulled open her protective suit and took a look. Immediately, his eyes were filled with ice.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were still a little blurry, and her head was a little dizzy. Xia Wanyuan grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Help me down.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold as he carefully helped Xia Wanyuan up.

    Soon, a medical team stepped forward and brought Xia Wanyuan out.

    On the field, John turned his head and exchanged a look with the captain. The captain nodded at him and gestured for the referee to take the sword from John¡¯s hand.

    Soon, everything in the arena was tidied up, as if nothing had happened.

    Other than the Chinese team and audience in the arena who had worried expressions, everyone else had happy expressions.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan had just advanced so fiercely. Without her, the chances of other countries¡¯ teams winning the gold medal increased greatly.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s departure did not make anyone feel that anything was wrong. Instead, there was enthusiastic apuse.

    ¡°Damn! They¡¯re too much! Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills are so good. How could there be such a huge mistake just now? The other party must have done something.¡±

    The captain of the Chinese team had been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation and naturally noticed her daze.?<i>Why would such a mistake happen to Xia Wanyuan??</i>

    He felt that there was a problem, but the most important thing now was that after Xia Wanyuan left, the points of the entire team would not catch up to the other teams.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Don¡¯t worry about Xia Wanyuan first. Let¡¯s finish thepetition and focus on it. It¡¯s up to you.¡±

    Everyone could only disperse angrily and rush to their respectivepetition areas.

    At this moment, in the live-stream, everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

    [I thought Xia Wanyuan was very amazing, but she actually made such a serious mistake. Looks like Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t much.]

    [ F*ck, there¡¯s definitely something wrong. How can such a situation where one¡¯s attention is not focused happen to Xia Wanyuan?! ]

    [ The Chinese dog in front, get out, okay? Why can¡¯t it happen to Xia Wanyuan? Why? If you win, it¡¯s the opposite side who sucks. If you lose, it¡¯s the other side¡¯s problem. Why are you so shameless? ]

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden appearance, the entire situation of thepetition had changed drastically.

    The more John fought, the braver he became. He won a lot of points for the American team in session.

    The Chinese team had lost a general and were already a little disappointed. In addition, the referee¡¯s almost harsh judgment caused several people to be punished.

    There were originally seven members, but now, there were only four left. Compared to the other teams, the Chinese team was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

    They, who were still a gold medalist candidate, a second ago had now be thest. The captain sighed as he watched from below the stage, and the Chineseizens were even more angry and anxious.

    At this moment, in the lounge of the stadium, the doctor was doing his best to treat Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound.

    Ever since she came to the modern world, Xia Wanyuan had been well protected by Jun Shiling. Other than the sudden situation of the earthquake, Xia Wanyuan had never suffered such injuries again.

    The doctor cut off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s blood-stained clothes and saw a five-centimeter-long wound on her shoulder.

    Blood gurgled out, and the tender flesh rolled open. Jun Shiling nced at it and clenched his fists.

    ¡°Be gentle.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was cold. He looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound without blinking.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The doctors softened their actions.

    At that moment, the dizziness in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head was much better than before. She reached out to Jun Shiling and said softly, ¡°It hurts.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ache.

    Jun Shiling took a deep breath, as if he was calming down. He walked forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan in front of him. ¡°Bear with it. It¡¯ll be fine soon.¡±

    Seeing how much Jun Shiling cherished Xia Wanyuan, the doctors became even more careful.

    Although the doctor¡¯s operation had reached its limit, such a big wound still made Xia Wanyuan frown in pain.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been looking at the wound on his shoulder, Jun Shiling turned her face around and kissed her. ¡°Good girl, it won¡¯t hurt anymore.¡±

    After more than ten minutes of treatment, the doctor finally finished treating Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound and carefully wrapped it in gauze.

    ¡°CEO Jun, your wife¡¯s wound must note into contact with water during this period of time, and she must not exercise violently. Her muscles and bones are not injured. She just has to wait for the wound to scab.¡±

    ¡°Okay, you can leave.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly. The doctors quickly left the lounge.

    Only then did Jun Shiling turn around and pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    He had clearly agreed to protect her, but she was injured again.

    ¡°What are you sorry for?¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that there was definitely something strange about that sword.

    The main reason was that she did not expect that in such an internationalpetition, the contestant could collude with the referee to change the sword.

    Furthermore, there was something wrong with the light that shed on the sword. In the end, Xia Wanyuan still did not know enough about modern technology.

    She had thought that it was an ordinary light reflection, but who would have thought that it was just something that could interfere with her brain?

    ¡°Let¡¯s notpete anymore. Go back.¡± Jun Shiling gently held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    If he could take the pain for her, he was willing to be shed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ce.

    Xia Wanyuan hesitated. ¡°I¡¯m notpeting, but I want to watch thepetition, okay?¡±

    After all, she was a member of the Chinese team. Xia Wanyuan did not want to go back for no reason.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded, then pulled Xia Wanyuan into the arena.

    After watching thepetition on stage, Li Na turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over with Jun Shiling protecting her.

    Wayne also saw Xia Wanyuan. He wanted to go up and ask her how she was and tell her that no matter what, she was his goddess.

    However, Li Na stood in front of him, making him unable to say anything. Wayne had never hated this cousin so much.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, is your wound okay?¡± Li Na smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan replied calmly, ¡°Thank you for worrying.¡±

    Li Na did not even have time to hide the gloating in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s good to be an audience. At least I won¡¯t worry about getting injured.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored her and did not respond.

    Jun Shiling sat beside Li Na and separated her from Xia Wanyuan. Then, he carefully hugged her. ¡°If you¡¯re not feeling well, tell me. We¡¯ll go back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and looked at the venue.

    At this moment, the venue had already entered a white-hot stage.

    The top three teams were from America, Ennd, and France.

    The leader of the individualpetition was naturally John from America.

    Seeing that he had defeated his opponents one by one and his ranking was constantly rising, Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    There were only four people left on the Chinese team.

    This match happened to be between John and Li Yan from China.

    Li Yan was the most outstanding contestant in the entire team, other than Xia Wanyuan. The captain had high hopes for her.

    The Chinese team was counting on him to turn the tables.

    Seeing Li Yan, John thought of Xia Wanyuan, whom he had caused to leave the stage. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡±

    Li Yan had a straightforward personality. When he saw John, he was furious. ¡°Despicable person.¡±

    The corners of John¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°What are you saying? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills are inferior. How did I be a despicable person?¡±

    ¡°Use your real move.¡± Li Yan clenched the sword in his hand, wanting to help Xia Wanyuan vent her anger.

    However, John¡¯s character was indeed very bad. Yet, his skills were indeed top-notch internationally. Ordinary people could not withstand it.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± John had won so many rounds and had sessfully gotten Xia Wanyuan off the field. Now was the time for him to be smug. He said a few words to Li Yan, instantly angering him.

    The audience in the live-stream also saw his mouth. He said, ¡°Sick Asian.¡±

    This insulting term immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chineseizens. However, other than the Chineseizens, the others were basically watching themotion and gloating.

    [Why doesn¡¯t this person have any sportsmanship?! Is this the sportsmanship of the American team? This is too much!]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s oue just now was already strange enough. Now, this person actually insulted Li Yan like this. F*ck, I want to beat him to death. I¡¯m so angry. ]

    [Can you stop jumping in front? What a joke. Do you have the cheek to jump after a loser? John¡¯s skills are amazing. If you have the ability, find someone to surpass him. If you don¡¯t have the ability, why are you jumping here?]

    In the venue, with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden departure and John¡¯s provocation, no matter how calm Li Yan was, she could not maintain her best state.

    When experts fought, victory and defeat were instantaneous. Li Yan¡¯s skills were not as mature as John¡¯s to begin with. Now that his mentality had copsed, he was a little out of sorts.

    John won very easily.

    When the referee announced that John had won thepetition, John smiled provocatively at Li Yan. ¡°Why? Was there a problem with what I just said?¡±

    At this point, John paused and said again as if to emphasize, ¡°Sick Asian.¡±

    Li Yan was so angry that his face was flushed red. However, now that he had lost, he felt that he had let down his captain and Xia Wanyuan. He was furious.

    John was even more pleased with himself. Just then, the camera swept over. John made a narrow-eyed expression at the camera and gave him the middle finger.

    The Chinese were very familiar with this squinty expression and were very sensitive.

    Because of the gic difference, yellow people were born with smaller eyes than OM people.

    Hence, in the past, this symbol of squinting had appeared many times.

    In foreign countries, acting like this was basically silently mocking the Chinese for having small eyes.

    [Did he do it on purpose? Does he have any respect for others by doing this in front of the entire world?]

    [The person in front, there¡¯s no need to doubt him. He did it on purpose. Just the day before, he even liked some of thements and photos on FINS that insulted China. Some of them mocked us for having small eyes.]

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk. John hasn¡¯t even spoken and you guys are already acknowledging it? As expected, you feel inferior and pitiful. So you know that your eyes are small?]

    John¡¯s actions not only angered the Chineseizens in the live-stream, but also the audience in the arena.

    Everyoneined about John crazily in their seats, expressing their anger.

    When Xia Wanyuan heard the audience¡¯s words, her eyes flickered.

    At this moment, there were only four countries¡¯ teams leftpeting with each other.

    China had relied on those four people to walk to this point with difficulty. Now, they were already at the end of the road.

    It was foreseeable that the next eliminated team would definitely be China.

    The expressions of the team members were very solemn.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s okay. You¡¯re already very amazing to havee this far.¡± The captainforted the team members with red eyes.

    Although he was filled with indignance, he had no choice.

    This was America¡¯s home ground. Regarding Xia Wanyuan and the other two yers who had been punished by the referee, the national team had already applied for arbitration from the Arbitration Council.

    However, the results indicated that there was nothing wrong with the referee, and there was nothing wrong with Xia Wanyuan¡¯spetition.

    No matter how theyined, the oue was still the same.

    At that moment, in the audience, seeing the team members¡¯ sad expressions, Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. She turned around, but before she could speak, Jun Shiling rejected her. ¡°No.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I haven¡¯t even spoken and you¡¯re already saying no. What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan coldly. ¡°No matter what, you have to take back your thoughts as soon as possible.¡±

    Didn¡¯t he understand Xia Wanyuan? Xia Wanyuan definitely wanted to go on stage and continue thepetition.

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. You¡¯re already so injured, yet you¡¯re still going topete. Do you want to die?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan blinked.

    On the stage, the already angry Li Yan was about to walk down the stage. When he passed by John, John said something to him. Li Yan suddenly flew into a rage and raised his fist to greet John.

    John smiled before running to the referee in a panic andining to the referee that Li Yan had attacked him personally.

    Under the strong request of the American team, the referee sent Li Yan off the field.

    ¡°F*ck, why does it not matter if John scold us sick Asian, but Li Yan didn¡¯t even hit John and he¡¯s going to be punished. It¡¯s not fair!!!¡±

    ¡°Brother, stop scolding. It¡¯s not like we just found out that the referee was unfair. Who asked this to be America¡¯s home ground? Sigh, I¡¯m so angry.¡±

    At this moment, the live-stream was already in an uproar.

    Everyone was watching a high-definition video, so they could see what John had said to Li Yan more clearly than the audience.

    A Chineseizen specially invited the lip-reading master to review what John had said. Then, he angrily posted the master¡¯s review on Weibo.

    John had just leaned into Li Yan¡¯s ear and said, ¡°Why are you standing up for Xia Wanyuan like this? Is she your mistress? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skills are quite good, right?¡±

    [ F*ck, what a disgusting smelly man. I¡¯m so angry. Give me a knife and I¡¯ll chop this John up now. Does he think that CEO Jun can¡¯t control him just because he¡¯s American?! ]

    [This is too infuriating. Not to mention Li Yan, even I¡¯m angry when I hear this. What is this? Do dirty people only see dirty things?]

    [ Sigh, it¡¯s so ufortable. I can only watch this kind of viin jump around on thepetition stage. Perhaps I¡¯ll even have to watch him win in the end. The referee is unfair. This kind of person doesn¡¯t have any sportsmanship at all. Why shouldn¡¯t they send him off? ]

    In the arena, Li Yan also got off the stage. Thest hope of the Chinese team was gone.

    It was obvious that the Chinese team would be eliminated in this round.

    ]The remaining three teams wouldpete for the final champion, runner-up, and third ce.

    In the audience, Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and whispered into his ear, ¡°I want to go up.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling frowned. ¡°Do you know how serious your wound is? Don¡¯t mess around.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s this wound?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°My injuries in the past were even more serious than now, but didn¡¯t I still fight?¡±

    In her previous life, although Xia Wanyuan was more often at the back, she would asionally encounter unexpected situations. At that time, Xia Wanyuan had to personally go forward.

    As long as she went to the front line, there would definitely be injuries.

    The most serious time was when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s right shoulder de was pierced by the spear. In the end, she still forced herself to finish the four-hour battle.

    ¡°No, this is not the past.¡± Jun Shiling still disagreed.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Let me ask you. If it were you today, would you choose to sit in the audience and watch your team fail?¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. If it were him, he would also choose to go forward and fight. He would not let his team be in such a hopeless situation.

    However, now that Xia Wanyuan was injured, he could not bear to watch her go up.

    ¡°Can you get the experts to wait for me?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°It¡¯s just a flesh wound. It doesn¡¯t hurt my bones. It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just bleeding a little. Trust me.¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. He knew that Xia Wanyuan had alreadye to a final conclusion in her heart. He had no way to change her and could only nod. ¡°If you can¡¯t hold on,e down directly.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then tapped her right cheek. ¡°CEO Jun, do you want to give me some encouragement?¡±

    Jun Shiling clenched his fists and leaned over to kiss Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you toe back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded with a smile in her eyes.

    At this moment, the score on the stage had already reached thest elimination line. There was only onest round left, and China was about to bepletely kicked out of the arena.

    ¡°Alright, Captain, don¡¯t be conflicted anymore. Isn¡¯t it just thest round? Hurry up and send people. Anyway, it can¡¯t change the oue.¡± The American captain looked at the Chinese team mockingly, his eyes filled with gloating.

    ¡°Captain, why don¡¯t I go? Even if we lose, we can¡¯t let the other party look down on us.¡±

    ¡°Captain, I¡¯m willing to go too.¡±

    Captain, I¡­¡±

    Although the atmosphere in the team was very gloomy, the team members still rushed to sign up for thest round.

    Just as the coach was hesitating, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.?<i>Why did the entire venue suddenly be so quiet??</i>

    The coach looked up and saw the team members looking behind him in surprise. The coach turned around.

    Xia Wanyuan was walking over.

    She was like a natural king, forever invincible. Xia Wanyuan smiled at the coach. ¡°Coach, let me do it.¡±

    ¡°Your injury?¡± The captain¡¯s eyes widened.

    When Xia Wanyuan left the stage just now, everyone had seen it clearly. The blood from the wound on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder had stained her protective suit. It was definitely not a small injury.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over and took the sword from the captain. ¡°I promised you that I would bring the championship back.¡±

    The captain looked at Xia Wanyuan in a daze. ¡°But¡­¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no but.¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled out her sword. The de shed coldly under the light.

    The captain had never been a person with a rich imagination, but at this moment, the captain seemed to see a queen spurring her horse and pointing her sword at the front.

    The captain nodded. ¡°Okay, then you go.¡±

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name appeared on the nextpetition list.

    Everyone was shocked to see this name.

    The American captain went to the Arbitration Council for trial, but China was already prepared.

    ¡°Our Xia Wanyuan wasn¡¯t sent out as a punishment. It¡¯s a roulettepetition to begin with. Xia Wanyuan went to bandage her wound just now. Going on stage now doesn¡¯t vite any system.¡±

    The Arbitration Council flipped through all sorts of rules and finally admitted, ¡°There¡¯s indeed no problem.¡±

    The American team had no choice but to retreat. Before they left, the American captain nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t be smug. I want to see how you can defeat so many people here with your injuries.¡±

    ording to the rotationpetition method, even if Xia Wanyuan could help China defend this,

    When they rushed to the final championship, she still had to face ten morepetitions.

    These tenpetitions were not like the small fries in front. Every one of them was the most famous yer in the world.

    Even Xia Wanyuan might not be able to win if she was not injured, let alone now.

    Xia Wanyuan was very calm. She asked the captain for aprehensive set of rules for the international swordsmanshippetition, then sat at the side and flipped through them, waiting for thepetition to begin.

    The captain was touched and speechless.

    <i>Oh my god, what time is it? You only know the rules of thepetition now??</i>

    The teams from the other countries were also a little solemn. Although Xia Wanyuan was injured, everyone had seen her performance.

    ¡°Alright, she¡¯s seriously injured. I promise.¡± John cheered his teammate on.

    He was the one who had cut Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound. He knew it too well. Not to mention a delicate woman like Xia Wanyuan, even if it were him, he would not be able to raise his sword, let alone win thepetition.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just perform at a normal level. Xia Wanyuan is not scary.¡± The more John thought about it, the more he felt that Xia Wanyuan was just pretending.

    Time slowly passed and the venue was ready. Thepetition officially began.

    In the first round, Xia Wanyuan faced a contestant from America.

    With John¡¯s guarantee, this contestant had some confidence, but when he saw the valiant Xia Wanyuan standing in front of him, he still felt a little guilty.

    After greeting each other, the two of them officially entered thepetition state.

    The American yers attacked ording to the usual rules. Xia Wanyuan knew that her wound could not be moved for a long time, so her first move was a ruthless move with strong killing intent.

    Unlike the small fights with those contestants previously, the current Xia Wanyuan did not have any feints. She held her sword and truly condensed sword aura with killing intent.

    Not to mention this ordinary contestant who could only receive all sorts of training in the training ground.

    Even those generals who were used to all kinds of killing on the battlefield in his previous life could not withstand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword moves.

    Hence, before the American yer could finish his move, he waspletely defeated by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword.

    This crucial round that determined whether China needed to be eliminated was saved by Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan won this round.

    When the referee said the word ¡°victory¡±, the entire Chinese audience fell into a frenzy.

    The words ¡°Xia Wanyuan is awesome¡± also flooded thepetition live-stream.

    The audience from other countries scoffed.

    <i>Tsk, didn¡¯t she just win one round? If she has the ability, continue to win? If she has the ability, continue to win then?</i>

    <i>Winning this round only prolonged the time she would be eliminated. What was there to be proud of??</i>

    However, what stunned everyone was that Xia Wanyuan was really winning.

    Three more rounds passed. In every round, Xia Wanyuan eliminated her opponent in one move.

    In the venue, the cheers of the Chinese audience were about to overturn the roof.

    However, among the happy faces, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression became worse and worse.

    He could tell that Xia Wanyuan was using the least amount ofpetition time to save time for her wound to be aggravated.

    Even so, Xia Wanyuan¡¯srge movements would definitely have a serious effect on the wound.

    As expected, after the fourth round, the camera switched to Xia Wanyuan.

    She, who had always been calm, subconsciously frowned.

    The camera swept across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injured shoulder, and one could actually see a faint red color seeping out of her clothes.

    The audience who had been cheering in the live-stream just now were silent. Everyone¡¯s eyes were a little red.

    [F*ck, I¡¯m not her fan. My heart aches now. This must be very painful.]

    [Her clothes are soaked in blood. I can even see red. Oh my god, my heart hurts to death. Isn¡¯t CEO Jun going crazy?]

    [ Really, I really had no feelings for Xia Wanyuan in the past, but seeing this scene today, I really feel that no matter what dirt Xia Wanyuan has in the future, I won¡¯t believe it. How can a person who can risk her life for the honor of her country be a bad person? ]

    At this moment, in the audience, Li Na turned to look at Jun Shiling.

    To her surprise, she did not see any heartache on Jun Shiling¡¯s face. She did not even see that Jun Shiling was worried about Xia Wanyuan at all.

    <i>The corners of Li Na¡¯s lips curled up slightly. It seemed that the rumors were wrong.</i>

    <i>Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were probably just acting good in front of the public. Xia Wanyuan was already so injured, but Jun Shiling did not react at all. How was this called good rtionship?</i>

    Li Na smiled and turned around to continue thepetition in the stands.

    In a ce she had not noticed, Jun Shiling¡¯s palm was already bleeding from his own grip.

    On stage, because Xia Wanyuan had won consecutively, China¡¯s score was already equal to America¡¯s.

    Not only were the audience¡¯s hearts surging with excitement, but even the referee was a little excited.

    The referee nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Contestant, are you okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I¡¯m okay. Continue.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s proceed to the next round. In this round, the two sides are Xia Wanyuan and John.¡±

    The moment the referee said this, a cold glint appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, and the audience eximed.

    Just now, Xia Wanyuan had been sent out because of John. Now that Xia Wanyuan had returned as the king, she had won consecutively. This time,

    <i>Could John chase Xia Wanyuan off the stage again?</i>

    <h4>Chapter 1185: The Princess Wins the Championship and CEO Jun Hits Someone</h4>

    ¡°...¡± The referee had never met such an arrogant person. He did not know what to say for a moment. He scratched his head. ¡°Contestant, you...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not against any rules, right?¡±

    The referee thought for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s not against the rules.¡±

    ¡°Then what else is there to say? Let¡¯s begin.¡± Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes. Actually, it was mainly to prevent John from ying any more tricks.

    However, in John¡¯s eyes, her actions could almost anger him to death. ¡°Who are you looking down on? You¡¯re too arrogant.¡±

    !!

    Xia Wanyuan was not someone who liked to argue, but that was when others did not offend her. Facing John, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth seemed very poisonous. ¡°I look down on you.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± John¡¯s heart skipped a beat from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nonchnt expression. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. I want to see how you get chased out of thispetition venue for the second time today.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held her sword and faced John. She was like a huge mountain, unmoving. In terms of aura alone, John had already lost.

    The referee gave the order and thepetition began.

    The captain had just discussed tactics with John. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder was injured, so if he wanted to defeat Xia Wanyuan, he did not need any tactics. He only needed strength.

    John gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, focused all his strength, and shed at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears twitched. Even though she was already prepared, John was an expert to begin with. Coupled with the deliberate force,

    Xia Wanyuan felt her hand go numb from the shock. As she had to resist John¡¯s sword momentum, Xia Wanyuan held her sword tightly.

    She could clearly feel that the wound on her shoulder had opened. A wetness flowed down her shoulder, which was an omen of blood bursting.

    However, Xia Wanyuan could not care less. She gripped her sword tightly and followed John¡¯s sword move. Using softness to ovee hardness, she circled around John¡¯s sword and shed at John at an extremely tricky angle.

    There was nothing fishy about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword, but in her previous life, she had learned armor-piercing swordsmanship.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was filled with killing intent. She suddenly exerted strength when the tip of the sword reached John¡¯s protective suit.

    With a ripping sound, a crack appeared on John¡¯s protective suit. Xia Wanyuan also shed at John¡¯s shoulder.

    The referee hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but it was toote.

    John was defeated and his shoulder was injured. He could not resist Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword momentum and knelt on the ground.

    The audience was dumbfounded. No one had expected John to lose so quickly and so miserably.

    [Serves him right!! Who asked him to treat Xia Wanyuan like this? Great, go home and recuperate.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is amazing!! She¡¯s too handsome!! That aura just now scared me. Why is she so amazing? ]

    [Boohoo, from today onwards, Xia Wanyuan is my husband. No one can snatch her from me!]

    On the field, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes. She nced at John, who was kneeling on the ground, and a hint of obvious disdain shed across her eyes.

    Such a person with moral problems had no right to stay in the arena.

    The venue was already covered by cheers.

    After beating John, China¡¯s score clearly surpassed America¡¯s and became the first team.

    As long as they won another round, China would definitely win the championship.

    At this moment, everyone could see that the bloodstains in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s white protective suit were bing more and more obvious. The referee could not bear to see it.

    ¡°Contestant, do you need to go down and rest?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand trembled as she held the sword, but she still shook her head. ¡°No need. Continue.¡±

    Since she had promised the coach, she had to finish everything.

    In thest round, Xia Wanyuan faced a world-ss contestant from France, Ryan.

    Facing Xia Wanyuan, Ryan was not as hostile as John.

    He looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. ¡°I originally thought that you wouldn¡¯t be able tost, but you showed me what sportsmanship is. Whether you win or lose this match, you¡¯re worthy of admiration.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled at Ryan. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Ryan nodded, then stood opposite Xia Wanyuan, ready to attack.

    The wound on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder hadpletely opened. At this moment, Xia Wanyuan could feel blood flowing down her arm.

    However, she could go back after persisting in this round. Xia Wanyuan focused and raised her sword.

    At this moment, the camera moved to her hand and the entire venue eximed.

    Because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand was already dyed red with blood. The blood flowed from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm to her hand and then to the sword.

    The originally silver-white sword was now stained with red blood.

    However, thepetition had already begun. The referee frowned and retreated.

    Although Ryan sympathized with Xia Wanyuan, he knew that she was very strong. Furthermore, he also had the heavy responsibility of winning the championship, so he did not show any mercy and attacked ruthlessly.

    Xia Wanyuan focused her attention on thepetition and ignored the pain in her shoulder.

    She stepped forward with her sword and began to fight with Ryan.

    No matter what, the wound on her shoulder had an effect. Xia Wanyuan wanted to use all her strength, but she could not ovee her physical weakness. In the end, she only used 70% of her strength.

    The more Ryanpeted with Xia Wanyuan, the more serious his expression became. He used all his strength topete with Xia Wanyuan.

    Every time Xia Wanyuan attacked, the blood on her wrist dripped down.

    The bloody sword seemed to have a soul of its own. It roared and danced on the field. In the end, it found the gap in Ryan¡¯s moves.

    She hit it with one strike.

    The bloody tip of the sword pointed straight at Ryan.

    The monitor rang, indicating that the game was over.

    The referee walked forward and looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. ¡°Congrattions, Xia Wanyuan. Victory.¡±

    At that moment, the entire audience, even if they were not Chinese, cheered for Xia Wanyuan.

    Even though everyone had a grudge against the country at first, at this moment, their admiration for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s victory came from the bottom of their hearts.

    Everyone stood up and apuded Xia Wanyuan in unison.

    Ryan put away his sword and bowed to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I bow to your spirit.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand had already begun to tremble unconsciously. She nced down the stage. Jun Shiling was striding towards her.

    There were also manyizens watching the internationalpetition. The live-stream was a little silent.

    No matter which country it was, at the most basic level, or a person with seven emotions and six desires,

    No one would remain indifferent when they saw such a scene.

    [To be honest, I¡¯m really touched. I¡¯m so envious of the Chinese team for having such a powerful and brave contestant.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is my goddess! Boohoo, I¡¯m so sad. I feel that her injuries must be very serious. She¡¯s bleeding so much. ]

    [My kid watched the live broadcast with me. She cried watching it. She even asked me if this sister would be very painful.]

    In the venue, Xia Wanyuan had already been taken away by Jun Shiling. The other teams were stillpeting.

    However, at this moment, the other teams werepeting for the second and third ces. The championship had already been firmly won by Xia Wanyuan.

    In the medical room, when the experts came to see the wound, if not for Jun Shiling sitting beside them, they would have reprimanded Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>I¡¯ve never seen a patient who cared so little about her wound! </i>

    <i>How long had it been? Her wound had already cracked open like this. She did not take the doctor¡¯s words to heart at all! </i>

    Jun Shiling remained silent with a livid expression. Xia Wanyuan secretly nced at him and reached out to pull Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling did not move either.

    Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, <i>Oh no, I probably can¡¯t coax him this time.</i>

    Until the doctor bandaged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound again, Jun Shiling did not show any reaction. He did not speak or look at Xia Wanyuan. He only stared straight at her injured shoulder.

    The captain had already sent Xia Wanyuan a message asking if she could attend the award ceremony. Xia Wanyuan replied that she could, then stood up.

    She could no longer move one shoulder and could only pull Jun Shiling with the other. ¡°I¡¯m going to the award ceremony. Come with me.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up, but he ignored Xia Wanyuan.

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She walked to Jun Shiling¡¯s side and held him with her good arm.

    In the venue, all the teams had already finishedpeting. The venue was preparing to give out the award. When they saw Xia Wanyuan enter, the audience apuded her in unison.

    Facing everyone¡¯s cheers and apuse, Xia Wanyuan walked to the podium and stood at the highest position in the middle.

    The second and third ce winners were America and France.

    The American team had sent John, who had also bandaged his wound, to receive the award. He stared fixedly at Xia Wanyuan, as if she was a thorn in his flesh.

    However, because the camera was in front of him, John was not too impudent. He just exuded an unhappy aura.

    ¡°The champion team that won the World Fencing Competition this time is the national team from China! The best individual this time is Xia Wanyuan from China!¡±

    As the host¡¯s voice sounded, Chinese representative music began to sound in the venue. Golden sequins floated across the sky, and red gs rose in the venue.

    Looking at the slowly rising g, a smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    <i>It seemed quite worth it.</i>

    The award ceremony was still ongoing. After the trophies for the champion, runner-up, and third ce were presented, everyone prepared to leave the stage for media interviews.

    At this moment, everyone was walking in the same direction, so it was inevitable that they would be closer.

    John¡¯s eyes flickered as he approached Xia Wanyuan. He staggered and pounced on her.

    Xia Wanyuan was already prepared, but before she could dodge, she heard a loud sound behind her.

    Jun Shiling hade on stage at some point and kicked John to the ground.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. He casually took the camera from the photographer and smashed it on John¡¯s head. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

    However, John¡¯s head was already bleeding from Jun Shiling¡¯s smash. Jun Shiling kicked John¡¯s chest and smashed the camera in his hand twice at the wound on his shoulder.

    John covered his head and howled.

    No one could stop Jun Shiling at all. Only when Xia Wanyuan walked over and pressed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand did the thick dark aura on Jun Shiling dissipate a little.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s enough.¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling. ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s ruthlessness, if they continued to fight, John would definitely die on this stage today.

    With a cold expression, Jun Shiling threw the camera at John, then pulled Xia Wanyuan and protected her out of the venue.

    ]Behind him, seeing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had already left the venue, John howled loudly, ¡°I want toin! I want to call the police! I want to seek the official protection of America!!¡±

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan back to the hotel in silence. There was no response from Xia Wanyuan.

    Back in the room, although Jun Shiling ignored her, he still carefully helped her change her shoes and take off her coat before walking to the room beside.

    Xia Wanyuan also knew that she had gone overboard this time. ¡°CEO Jun, I was wrong. How can you forgive me? Tell me...¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already walked out from the side. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze shifted over and she was stunned.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you doing?!¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    At that moment, Jun Shiling, who had walked out, had the same wound on his shoulder as Xia Wanyuan. It could be seen that Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were very agile. At that moment, the wound was still gurgling with blood.

    Jun Shiling walked over. As he walked, the blood on his shoulder flowed down his arm, making Xia Wanyuan frown slightly.

    She hurriedly called the medical team.

    In less than half an hour, they had toe and bandage a wound again. The doctor was speechless. The moment he saw Xia Wanyuan, he was about to say a few words to her under Jun Shiling¡¯s pressure.

    <i>How could she not cherish her body so much?</i>

    However, in the next second, he saw Jun Shiling¡¯s arm stained with blood. ¡°¡­¡±

    The doctor opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.

    <i>After all, Jun Shiling was the big boss. Even if the big boss was crazy, he was still the big boss!!?</i>

    The doctor treated Jun Shiling¡¯s wound and looked at the two bandaged arms. He could not help but shake his head and shake his head silently in his heart.

    <i>CEO Jun looked so steady. Why was he still ying the martyr game like a child??</i>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept over. The doctor hurriedly left with the nurses.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s wound, her eyes filled with self-reproach. ¡°Does it hurt?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her. ¡°This is a punishment.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was speechless.

    She knew that this was Jun Shiling¡¯s punishment for her for making him worry, because she did not care about her body.

    ¡°Do you feel ufortable?¡± Jun Shiling pressed his shoulder, and a hint of pain seeped out of his flesh.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was muffled. She knew how Jun Shiling felt when he saw her injured.

    ¡°I¡¯ll forgive you this time. If you do it again, if you get injured, my injury will be ten times worse.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold and his tone was very unyielding.

    Before Xia Wanyuan went on stage, he had agreed that she could participate in thepetition, but he had not agreed to let Xia Wanyuan risk her life to fight with him.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned towards Jun Shiling. ¡°I was wrong.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak. Xia Wanyuan gently hooked her pinky into Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. Jun Shiling ignored her with a cold expression.

    ¡°Are you ignoring me?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and smiled.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned even colder when he saw her cheeky smile. He stood up. ¡°Reflect here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Work.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan watched Jun Shiling leave and shook her head with a smile.

    <i>This person was so hot-tempered.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left, John called the police andined to the Arbitration Council.

    He had just been bandaged and began to be active on the social tform.

    John: ¡°I strongly request to check the stimnt content in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body. It¡¯s too fake. Let me ask you. The blood on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm has flowed to the tip of the sword, but look at the way she attacked. Isn¡¯t she especially stable? How does she look like someone who has been injured??

    There was only one exnation. Xia Wanyuan must have taken some kind of stimnt.

    I request thepetitionmittee to revoke Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results and re-examine her body condition.¡±

    As soon as John said this, arge number of people began to agree.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance on the field was too extraordinary.

    Everyone could tell that when Xia Wanyuan waspeting, the wound on her shoulder was already extremely serious. She had already bled so much, but she could still win consecutively and turn defeat into victory, sending the Chinese team to the championship throne.

    No matter how one looked at it, it was strange.

    [Agreed to cancel Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results. China cheated. The champion should be America.]

    [If Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t take any drugs, I¡¯ll twist my head off and let you sit on it. It¡¯s too fake. If not for the control of the medicine, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand wouldn¡¯t be so stable. This isn¡¯t something a normal person can do.]

    [Hehe, you¡¯re so funny. If you can¡¯t do it yourself, then you say that others can¡¯t do it too. It¡¯s so funny. Do you know what willpower is?]

    After John objected, the official representative team of America also applied for a review.

    What made the Chinese team extremely angry was that thepetitionmittee really agreed.

    After receiving the notification to cancel Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results, the captain was about to die of anger.

    ¡°They¡¯re too much!!¡± The captain tore open the notice. ¡°It¡¯s fine if the referee is unfair, but now he¡¯s ying this trick on us!¡±

    The sports world was not as fair as the public thought. In many venues, there had been cases of referees giving unfair judgements.

    The captain had led so many teams before, and what he was most afraid of was encountering dark sentries.

    Unexpectedly, not only did they encounter unfair judgements this time, but they also encountered the arbitration team that hadpletely lost its fairness.

    ¡°Captain, let¡¯s appeal too.¡± The team member leaned over.

    ¡°This is America¡¯s home ground. I¡¯m just afraid we won¡¯t be able to appeal.¡± The captain looked worried.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we let Xia Wanyuan participate in the test? I believe she must not have taken the medicine.¡±

    ¡°Silly child.¡± The captain had experienced much and could see more clearly than the team members. ¡°The application has been submitted. Whether Xia Wanyuan took the medicine or not, the final oue will be that she took a stimnt.¡±

    ¡°This¡­¡± The team member was a little stunned. The young him still had some hope. ¡°In front of the global audience, surely not?¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± The captain shook his head and did not say anything else.

    The Arbitration Council quickly announced the results of this treatment and got someone to take samples from the hotel where Xia Wanyuan lived.

    Xia Wanyuan was very cooperative with the Arbitration Council and did not resist.

    Amidst the controversy, the Arbitration Council quickly released the results.

    The results showed that Xia Wanyuan had overdosed on stimnts and had canceled all her results ording to the rules.

    Hence, the Chinese team¡¯s champion was gone, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s best individual award no longer existed. They were all reced by the people behind.

    In the end, the people from the other countries were originally touched by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bravery, but now, they all became disgusted.

    After all, people who relied on medicine to maintain theirpetition status were despised everywhere.

    The Chineseizens were about to die of anger. Many people rushed to protest to the Arbitration Council, but they were all rejected.

    John took the championship trophy that thepetition officials had given him and knocked on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s door smugly. However, because of Jun Shiling, he could only bring two American police officers to show off.

    It did not matter if the entire world did not see him win the championship. To John, letting Xia Wanyuan see was the most important.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this our stimnt champion?¡± John raised an eyebrow mockingly at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I thought she had steel bones. So she took medicine? Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at John coldly. ¡°Are you done?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± John looked at Xia Wanyuan hatefully. ¡°You and your husband attacked me personally. I¡¯ve already called the police. Wait for the police to summon you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°What¡¯s the reason for calling the police?¡±

    ¡°You severely injured me!! Let me tell you, you have money but no privileges. This is America¡¯snd! You will be punished by thew!¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°You don¡¯t look like you¡¯re seriously injured. Aren¡¯t I losing out if you say that?¡±

    John had a bad feeling about this. He frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gestured, and more than ten secret guards appeared from nowhere.

    ¡°I prefer to live up to it.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced coldly at John, then closed the door.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, John frowned very tightly. He looked at the secret guards in front of him in panic. ¡°Let me tell you! This is America¡¯snd. I¡¯m protected by America¡¯sws!¡±

    The secret guards did not care about John¡¯s threat. To them, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s orders were what they had to listen to.

    However, they did not touch the American police. A few secret guards carried the American police outside.

    Seeing that the people protecting him had left, John panicked even more. He wanted to leave too, but he was stopped by the secret guards.

    ¡°Why are you running? Weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now?¡±

    ¡°No, this is illegal. I¡¯m going to sue you!¡± John clung to the door and was about to run when the secret guards dragged him back.

    The sound of punches and kicks sounded in the safe passage. Twenty minutester, a sack was thrown at the entrance of the hospital. The nurses who came and went discovered the squirming bag and ran over to open it. It was a person with a swollen face who had been beaten up until his parents did not recognize him.

    In the hotel, Xia Wanyuan walked to the study door and opened it to take a look.

    Jun Shiling had already ignored her for the entire afternoon and night. He did not even eat and stayed in the study alone to deal with work.

    Jun Shiling sat by the window. When he signed, he probably touched the wound on his shoulder. Jun Shiling clearly paused for a moment.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and went to the kitchen to cook a simple bowl of egg noodles. Then, she walked to the study. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯ve cooked a bowl of noodles for you. Are you going to serve it yourself, or should I bring it over for you?¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped signing the document. He turned around and frowned. ¡°You cooked noodles for me? Do you not want your hand anymore? What did you promise me just now?¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to re up again, Xia Wanyuan leaned against the door and softened her voice. ¡°Then are you eating?¡±

    Jun Shiling threw the fountain pen on the table with a bang. Then, he stood up and walked out of the door. Xia Wanyuan leaned against the door and blocked his way. Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was a little fierce. ¡°Why are you blocking here? Move.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling was really fierce, for some reason, not only did Xia Wanyuan not feel angry, but she also felt likeughing. She did not move away. Instead, she reached out to hold Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°No, I want to go with you.¡±

    Jun Shiling wanted to avoid her, but Xia Wanyuan said, ¡°Don¡¯t move. My hand hurts. Be careful not to touch me.¡±

    As expected, Jun Shiling did not move again and allowed Xia Wanyuan to pull him.

    The two of them went to the kitchen together. Seeing the bowl of noodles with eggs, ham, and even vegetables, not only was there no joy in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, but there was even a hint of anger.

    He could imagine how awkwardly Xia Wanyuan had made this bowl of noodles.

    ¡°CEO Jun, go get it. I¡¯m still hungry.¡± Xia Wanyuan squeezed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. Only then did Jun Shiling go forward to bring the things to the living room.

    Both of them had injured their right arms, so they could only slowly ce the bowls and chopsticks with their left hands.

    Xia Wanyuan watched the two of them use their left hands and was a little amused. ¡°CEO Jun, the two of us have be left-handed.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up and nced at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan coughed lightly and stopped talking. ¡°I was just joking, just joking.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan had made the noodles with her left hand, the taste was not bad.

    The two of them finished the noodles in silence. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s bowl. He was quite supportive and finished all the noodles.

    ¡°Sigh, after eating the noodles, it would be great if I could drink hot tea,¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and deliberately said.

    Although Jun Shiling was still silent, he stood up and brewed a cup of good Longjing tea for Xia Wanyuan.

    The fresh fragrance of the tea fluttered in the house. Xia Wanyuan took a sip of the tea and felt her lips and teeth fragrance.

    ¡°CEO Jun, can you sit closer?¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her teacup and nced at Jun Shiling, who wished he could be eight hundred meters away from her.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and flipped through the magazine in his hand. ¡°Why should I sit over? To see how deep your wound is?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan suppressed herughter.<i>?Alright, since he isn¡¯ting, I¡¯ll go over.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan stood up, picked up the teacup, and sat beside Jun Shiling. ¡°This tea is quite delicious.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at it. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan liked to drink tea, Jun Shiling specially bought an entire tea house in the most suitable ce in Jiangnan and hired someone to nt her favorite tea leaves.

    Afteryers of screening, the tea sent to Xia Wanyuan was one in a million. Even someone who did not know tea would think that it was peerless.

    Xia Wanyuan squeezed a little closer to Jun Shiling. ¡°You haven¡¯t hugged me today.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°No.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then patted Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling turned around, and Xia Wanyuan nted a kiss.

    There was the fragrance of tea on her lips as she gently traced Jun Shiling¡¯s lips.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s throat rolled, but he quickly retreated. ¡°Don¡¯t do this.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s still cold face, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.<i>?No way? I can¡¯t even coax him with this now??</i>

    ¡°CEO Jun, tell me, how can you calm down?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Tell me, can¡¯t I change?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her. Although the anger in his heart had mostly dissipated, Xia Wanyuan had gone too far this time. Jun Shiling wanted to teach her a lesson. ¡°I can¡¯t. Sleep by yourself. I¡¯ve prepared the bedroom for you. I¡¯ll sleep by the side myself.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling stood up and left the living room.

    ¡°???¡± Watching Jun Shiling leave, disbelief shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    <i>Was this still the Jun Shiling I knew? Or has my charm decreased? Now, Jun Shiling could even take the initiative to ask to sleep in separate rooms?</i>

    ¡°So be it!¡± Xia Wanyuan said to Jun Shiling¡¯s departing figure. ¡°Don¡¯t regret it when the timees.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s departing figure paused for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

    It waste at night. It was already two or three in the morning in America. It was still daytime in China.

    It was also the most active time on Weibo.

    The news of Xia Wanyuan being disqualified and the Chinese team being disqualified spread to China. Theizens were furious.

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m so angry that my lungs are about to explode. Is America not going to be shameless?? That dog John injured Xia Wanyuan so badly. The referee ignored him as if he was blind. ]

    [Stimnt?? Hehehe, isn¡¯t it testing the American himself? Who knows what the real situation is? I suspect that you¡¯re testing and checking yourself. It¡¯s not necessarily that someone took a stimnt.]

    [ Why do you trust Xia Wanyuan so much? Can you not have such a strong opinion without mentioning America? They¡¯re the number one country in the world, okay? Is Xia Wanyuan worth believing? Anyway, I believe America won¡¯t make something out of thin air. Maybe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance-enhancing drugs exceeded the limit. ]

    [Hehe, have you forgotten about the table tennis incidentst year?? This is not the first time the so-called sports country in your eyes has done such a thing.]

    The table tennis incident that theizens mentioned was a huge incidentst year.

    China¡¯s table tennis skills had always been leading internationally. It could be said that all the trophies for table tennispetitions were basically monopolized by China.

    This was a very happy thing for China, but not for others.

    China¡¯s famous table tennis expert, Zhang Ning, participated in a worldpetitionst year. Because the score was too advanced, she was about to win the championship.

    At that time, the referee warned Zhang Ning for various reasons such as dying thepetition time. In the end, he even sent her off the field, causing Zhang Ning topletely miss the championship of this worldpetition.

    At that time, Zhang Ning¡¯s eyes were red and swollen from crying during the interview, but she had no choice.

    After thepetition, the Chinese team also submitted aint to the Arbitration Council. After the Arbitration Council flipped through the recording of thepetition, they proved that Zhang Ning had not vited the rules of thepetition. It was just that the referee had misjudged.

    Hence, the Arbitration Council canceled the referee¡¯s qualification certificate, but that was all. The final ranking still did not change.

    That was the only year when the champion of the table tennispetition was not China.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s incident had evoked theizens¡¯ angry memories.

    [F*ck, these people are really too shameless. I suspect that they¡¯re going to do it again. Last time, they pulled that referee over as a fool and there was no change in his ranking in the end. He didn¡¯t even apologize. Could it be like this again?]

    [Anyway, regardless of whether Xia Wanyuan took the stimnt or not, their goal has been achieved in the end, right? The American team won the finalpetition and John became the best individual. How awesome is that? Ha.]

    [How infuriating. Zhang Ning was bullied like thisst year. We can¡¯t do anything even if we¡¯re angry, but I believe that there will be an exnation for this year¡¯s matter. I don¡¯t think CEO Jun will watch his wife be bullied like this.]

    [Forget it. That¡¯s America, not China¡¯snd. They¡¯re not under China¡¯s jurisdiction. No matter how amazing Jun Shiling is, what can he do?]

    It waste at night in America, but Xia Wanyuan did not sleep for a long time.

    They were overseas to begin with, and Xia Wanyuan recognized the bed. In addition, Jun Shiling was not by her side, so Xia Wanyuan could not sleep at all. Shey on the bed for a while, but in the end, she lifted the nket and got out of bed, then walked to Jun Shiling¡¯s door.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to turn the doorknob, thenughed in anger.

    Jun Shiling had actually locked the door when he was sleeping. It was obvious that he was guarding against her.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was definitely not asleep. She knocked on the door. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re amazing. You even locked the door.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice came from inside the house. He did not sound sleepy at all. ¡°Of course I have to lock the door to prevent cats.¡±

    <i>How could there be a cat in this hotel?</i>?Xia Wanyuan was angry and amused.

    ¡°Open the door.¡±

    ¡°No, we agreed to let you sleep alone. Why should I open the door?¡± Inside the house, Jun Shiling had already walked to the door, but his mouth was unforgiving.

    ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t open the door for me today, you¡¯re not allowed to return to the master bedroom for a month after we return to China.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave.

    At that moment, the door behind her opened. The cold Jun Shiling was looking at her faintly. ¡°How can you be so unreasonable?¡±

    ¡°How am I unreasonable?¡±

    ¡°You did something wrong, but your attitude is still so domineering.¡± Jun Shiling opened the door. ¡°Come in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow and walked into the house.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s body temperature had always been high, and the nket was warm with his aura. Xia Wanyuan felt very relieved when she slept in. Her eyes curved into crescents as she reached out to Jun Shiling. ¡°Hug.¡±

    Jun Shiling locked the door and walked over. He took out a nket from the wardrobe and slept on the sofa. ¡°Sleep. I said I won¡¯t apany you. Letting you enter the room is already an additional exception.¡±

    ¡°???¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling faintly, but Jun Shiling had already closed his eyes, looking like he would never agree.

    Xia Wanyuan sniffed the fragrance in the nket. This was the first time she had tasted what a resentful woman felt.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯re too much.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was soft, making Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skip a beat. However, thinking of the wound on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyshes fluttered, but he still did not speak.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, I miss you. Can you sleep with me?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling did not react, Xia Wanyuan softened her voice and acted coquettishly towards Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing paused for a moment, and then she heard his suppressed voice. ¡°Cut it out. If you don¡¯t sleep, I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa in the living room.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± After losing three battles, Xia Wanyuan snuggled under the nket. ¡°Okay, you¡¯re amazing.¡±

    The room finally fell silent. After some time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s breathing gradually calmed down.

    Only then did Jun Shiling gently get up from the sofa. Then, he came over and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nket up. He kissed her gently on the forehead before returning to the sofa and covering her with the nket to sleep.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed, opened her eyes.

    The wound on John was too terrifying. Not only was his face bruised, but his facial features could not be seen at all. His legs and arms were swollen everywhere, and there was blood seeping out in many ces.

    [ Oh my god, is there stillw? Call the police!!! You¡¯re not arresting her, even when it¡¯s like this! Xia Wanyuan is breaking thew! ]

    [This is too much. They don¡¯t care about our Americanw at all. Where are the police? Are they doing nothing?]

    [How pitiful. You¡¯re beaten up like this, but you¡¯re our hero. You¡¯re a hero who stood up to defend against an evil force like China! We¡¯re proud of you.]

    John sat on the bed and looked at the support of theizens on the Inte. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up. However, the injuries on his face were too serious. As soon as he moved, he grimaced in pain.

    ¡°Damn it! Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯ll remember you!¡± John frowned. ¡°I¡¯ll make you go to jail in America!¡±

    That night, John was so injured that he could not sleep. He attacked Xia Wanyuan crazily on social media. By the next morning, he had already posted nearly 50 posts.

    Even theizens who had scolded Xia Wanyuan with him were tired. He still patiently tagged Xia Wanyuan.

    In the hotel, the sunlight shone in through the window. Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes, then sat up and nced at the sofa. Jun Shiling had already woken up.

    Xia Wanyuan lifted the nket to wash up. She had juste out of the bathroom when she saw Jun Shiling walk in with breakfast in one hand.

    The noodles were clearly made by Jun Shiling himself, and the milk was warm.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned over and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. This time, Jun Shiling did not avoid her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re not angry with me anymore?¡±

    Jun Shiling handed the milk cup to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m done with being angry yesterday.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and gently nted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. He did not leave. Instead, in this position, his obsidian-like eyes stared fixedly at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I ignored you yesterday because I wanted to punish you, but my instincts urged me not to be angry for too long.¡±

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes as she stepped forward slightly. ¡°I still want to kiss you.¡±

    Jun Shiling was amused by her. ¡°Why are you so unreserved now?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were sparkling like diamonds. ¡°Then do you want to kiss me?¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up, then he leaned forward and covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°CEO Jun, are you still sleeping on the sofa today?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Only then did Jun Shiling tell the truth. ¡°I didn¡¯t sleepst night. Do you think everyone is as heartless as you? I think you slept quite well alone.¡±

    Unlike him, who slept coldly and ufortably alone and could not sleep the entire night.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that because your aura is in the nket? That¡¯s why I fell asleep in peace.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words sessfully softened Jun Shiling¡¯s expression.

    ¡°Alright, have breakfast. After breakfast, go and settle that person. Then, we¡¯ll return to the country. The one at home is already going to be noisy,¡± Jun Shiling said as he handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan.

    It was a video sent by Xiao Bao.

    On the screen, Xiao Bao¡¯s face was fair and tender. His big eyes hadpletely gathered Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s merits and were shining. ¡°Mommy,e back quickly. I miss you so much.¡±

    As he spoke, tears welled up in Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes and fell one by one like pearls, making Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart soften.

    ¡°Be good, we¡¯ll be back tomorrow. Be good and don¡¯t disturb Auntie An Rao,¡± Xia Wanyuan said gently to Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were red as he nodded obediently. ¡°Thene back quickly.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan felt a little tasteless. Xiao Bao¡¯s cute and pitiful appearance was too endearing. Through the screen, Xia Wanyuan wanted to rub his head.

    Jun Shiling took a spoon and scooped the porridge, then fed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You two are really good. One is better than the other.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and ate the porridge. ¡°Then you can ignore me.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused in his actions of scooping the porridge. If he had known earlier, he would have left Xia Wanyuan hanging for another day. Over the past few days, her attitude had been very domineering after making a mistake. When she did not make a mistake, her attitude was even more domineering.

    In front of the American stadium, thepetition had already ended. Logically speaking, the venue should be empty. However, the stadium was filled with people. All the news media were gathered here.

    John sat in front of the stage with a head full of bandages. ¡°I held this press conference today to let the world see how Xia Wanyuan and her husband attacked me in a terrorist-like manner in a normalpetition.¡±

    Terrorist attacks were a sensitive word for America. When this was said, even the reporters¡¯ expressions changed.

    As John spoke, he took off his shirt and let the media reporters look at the wound on his body. ¡°Look, I was beaten up by them. This is America¡¯snd. If the American officials don¡¯t give me justice this time, I think everyone in the country will wonder if America can protect its people.¡±

    This was a global live broadcast. When John said this, the audience in the live-stream became prized.

    One side was angered by him, while the other felt that he had gone overboard with his moral kidnapping.

    [Good lord, he suffered a beating, a terrorist attack, and the officialw of America. Does this person think too highly of himself?]

    [ The person in front, you¡¯re from China. You don¡¯t understand. America has the right to protect every citizen. Xia Wanyuan beating them up like this is a terrorist attack to begin with. She¡¯s not allowed to leave America. Please detain Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. ]

    The audience in thements were arguing anxiously. In the stadium, John was still acting pitiful to the camera.

    At this moment, the cameras in the live-stream suddenly changed direction. Even John¡¯s expression changed. He looked not far away in shock and anger. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Just as he finished speaking, the camera moved over. Not far away, Jun Shiling was walking over with Xia Wanyuan, followed by more than ten guards.

    John thought of the memories of being beaten up by these people in the corridor and hid behind the chair in fear.

    Jun Shiling walked over and everyone retreated. In the end, Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to the front of the stage.

    ¡°Since we¡¯re going to hold a press conference, let¡¯s do it together.¡± After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he gestured. The subordinate immediately inserted the USB drive he had brought into the press conferenceputer and the video began to y on the screen.

    <h4>Chapter 1189: The Truth Announced ps the Organizing Committee</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The first thing that appeared in the video was the backstage of the arena. The captain of the American team secretly handed apetition sword to John. From the video, he could clearly hear their conversation.

    ¡°John, haven¡¯t you always wanted to be an official coach? As long as you can help me do this, I¡¯ll rmend you to the national team when we get back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Captain. Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve already informed the referee about this sword. When the timees, this sword will appear in your hand. The de has a light reflecting system that can interfere with the other party¡¯s judgment. Furthermore, we¡¯ve also done a special treatment on the de that can directly break through the protective suit.¡± The captain demonstrated in front of John.

    In order to protect the safety of the athletes, it was difficult for a normal sword to break through the protective suit, but the sword prepared by the American captain this time was different.

    The scene was originally chaotic, but as the video yed, everyone fell silent and looked at John withplicated expressions.

    At this moment, the live-stream was for the whole world. The audience in the live-stream were originally protesting the appearance of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, but the videos that were broadcasted undoubtedly pped them hard.

    [No wonder Xia Wanyuan¡¯s protective suit broke so easily. After thepetition, John even bragged that it was because he was skilled. It turned out that it was because he cheated.]

    [ Also, during thepetition, didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan sh for a moment? Now that I think about it, she should have been disturbed by the reflection on the de. F*ck, why is John so disgusting? He actually yed dirty. ]

    [How can John and the American team dance so happily? They cheated and framed others, yet they still want to sue her.]

    On stage, John was already dumbfounded.<i>?Hadn¡¯t those swords been dealt with? Why did Jun Shiling have these videos??</i>

    However, he reacted quickly. In the next second, he became arrogant again. ¡°So what if I cheated in thepetition? Punishing me is the arbitrationmittee¡¯s matter. What right do you have to hit me in private?? You¡¯re breaking thew. I¡¯ll still say the same thing. This is America¡¯snd. You¡¯ll pay the price!¡±

    As John spoke, he was about to pounce on Xia Wanyuan when he was stopped by the guards beside him.

    ]Jun Shiling nced at John with a death stare. John was subconsciously stunned and stopped shouting.

    Jun Shiling got someone to pull out the surveince video again. From this angle, he could clearly see John¡¯s direction.

    After receiving the trophy, he could clearly walk on the left, but he deliberately waited for Xia Wanyuan to walk over.

    Then, he kept paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. Seeing that there were more people, John moved his feet slightly and bumped straight into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder wound. If not for Jun Shiling¡¯s quick arrival, Xia Wanyuan would definitely have been knocked down by John.

    Dear readers! you are reading on our content copy site.Please copy and search this link " https://bom.so/sBJMIa " to support us

    [ F*ck, shameless person, I¡¯m so angry!!! Don¡¯t stop me, I¡¯m going to beat him to death! ]

    [Where did those foreigners who said that Xia Wanyuan deserved it in the past go? Come, let¡¯s discuss who deserves it.]

    [Sigh, I keep feeling that this time, it¡¯s like Zhang Ning in the previous table tennispetition. Although justice has been found, the throne of the champion is gone.]

    Such a situation was not rare in the international sports world. Using a person as a scapegoat could be exchanged for theplete destruction of the opponent. Even if they found the truth in the end, thepetition was already over. No one would turn back and change the oue of thepetition.

    John clearly thought so too. Anyway, they had already fallen out. He looked at Xia Wanyuan fiercely. ¡°Why are you so arrogant? The results of the championship have already been announced. You¡¯re just defeated. At most, I¡¯m not the only one on our American team. What¡¯s wrong with sacrificing me?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked up to Xia Wanyuan and blocked John¡¯s vision. He looked down at John. ¡°Really?¡±

    ohn frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Then, the top testing team of France walked in.

    France was an internationally famous neutral country. Their various institutions were also famous for their credibility, fairness, and transparency.

    John guessed that Jun Shiling wanted to test Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stimnt content again, but it was toote. John raised an eyebrow at Jun Shiling smugly. ¡°They took your money, so of course they¡¯ll do something for you.¡±

    Just as John finished speaking, all the contestants who had participated in the World Competition yesterday walked into the arena.

    Everyone spread out and a staff member took samples of everyone.

    In the camera facing the world, the institutional staff randomly distributed these samples andpletely messed up the order before starting the on-site testing.

    The audience watched quietly as the agency staff finished testing all the people.

    In the end, the testing machine showed that among the 120 samples tested this time, 50 samples actually showed that the stimnts had exceeded the limit.

    The audience was stunned. Everyone knew that such cheating often happened in the sports world, but no one expected the ratio to be so high.

    [ Is there Xia Wanyuan? That¡¯s all I care about now. Really, if Xia Wanyuan didn¡¯t take the stimnt, will China¡¯s honor be restored? ]

    The audience discussed. At this moment, the inspection agency in France began to match the samples with the contestants one by one.

    The contestants who received the normal results of the test undoubtedly heaved a sigh of relief. The contestants who received the abnormal results were pale.

    Very dramatically, the agency staff sent a test result to John.

    The results showed that John had taken an overdose of stimnts. When he saw the test form, John copsed on the stage.

    Looking at all the test data, there were only ten teams that did not have any abnormalities.

    Among them was China.

    This meant that Xia Wanyuan had not taken any stimnts at all, and her results should not be canceled.

    Jun Shiling stood in front of the camera. ¡°I hope the organizingmittee can give us a reasonable exnation.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling gestured for the guards to cut all the live-stream lines.

    He walked up to John and looked down at his right hand. ¡°It¡¯s this hand, right?¡±

    John looked at Jun Shiling in horror. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not waste his breath on him and reached out to cover Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s vision was blocked by Jun Shiling¡¯s palm, but she could hear a violent scream not far away. The surroundings were filled with fear.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling turned around, hugged Xia Wanyuan, and left the stadium.

    On the stage, John hugged his arm and screamed. It was clearly an extremely bloody scene, but everyone did not pity him at all.

    Anyone who really wanted topete well in the stadium hoped for a fair and justpetition environment.

    They trained day after day topete with their opponents on the field.

    The appearance of these cheating actions made everyone angry and sad. It was as if their hard work was a joke, as if they could skip more than ten years of hard work by cheating.

    Everyone left in silence. No one bothered with John on the stage.

    This press conference was open to the world. Jun Shiling cut off the live-stream line, but he could not stop theizens from gossiping.

    ¡°John Xia Wanyuan¡±, ¡°Xia Wanyuan the champion¡±, ¡°Xia Wanyuan did not take any stimnts¡±, all sorts of topics quickly upied the rankings of various social media.

    As everyone condemned John and the American team¡¯s shamelessness, they were shocked and impressed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strong willpower.

    [So, Xia Wanyuan reallypleted the entirepetition without any medicine? That¡¯s amazing. Does this willpower really exist?]

    [ I¡¯m crying. Xia Wanyuan has always been so amazing. She never disappoints the people who like her. ]

    The truth of the matter was finally revealed. No matter how much thepetitionmittee wanted to protect the American team, they could not resist the pressure from the global audience and the Jun Corporation.

    In the end, the organizingmittee apologized to China and Xia Wanyuan and restored all the honor of China.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were already on a ne to China.

    In China, the team that hade to wee Xia Wanyuan was already prepared.

    High in the sky, Xia Wanyuan had long forgotten about this honor. What she was worried about now was which set of clothes she should wear for An Rao¡¯s wedding.

    Xia Wanyuan originally wanted Jun Shiling to help her decide, but Jun Shiling¡¯s very hardworking spirit from a few days ago was already gone. Now, he felt that Xia Wanyuan looked good in anything and returned to being aplete wife ve.

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you to make a decision. Why don¡¯t you have any suggestions?¡± After receiving good feedback from Jun Shiling several times in a row, Xia Wanyuan was finally angry. ¡°Didn¡¯t you have your own opinionsst night?¡±

    No matter what she said, Jun Shiling insisted on sleeping on the sofa and refused to listen.

    Jun Shiling leaned over to Xia Wanyuan and hugged her waist. ¡°You look good in anything. Who asked Madam to be so good-looking?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and patted Jun Shiling. ¡°What sweet words. Go away.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not walk closer. ¡°Kiss me.¡±

    ¡°Annoying. The ne hasnded and the staff areing over. Stop fooling around.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°I¡¯m not fooling around. Kiss me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to gently peck Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Are you done?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan and lowered his head. He only stopped when he kissed Xia Wanyuan until she was limp in his arms.

    At that moment, at the cabin door, the staff was already looking awkward. Seeing that Jun Shiling had finally looked over, the staff weed him. ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯ve arrived at the Beijing airport.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan up. The two of them had just walked out of the airport when they saw a fewrge groups of fans standing outside the airport with flowers in their hands.

    The fans held the poster of Xia Wanyuan winning the championship and flowers. Seeing Xia Wanyuan appear, cheers filled the air.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan!! Xia Wanyuan!¡±

    Seeing so many enthusiastic fans, Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. She nodded at everyone and the cheers became louder.

    Jun Shiling stood beside Xia Wanyuan. Seeing so many peoplee because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s excellence, he could not help but feel proud.

    Among so many fans, one person stood out.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know her, but everyone cheered and pushed her in front of her.

    It was a tall woman with short hair who looked very neat. There was a golden medal hanging in front of her.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. She had never paid much attention to the outside world¡¯s information, so she did not know this person. ¡°May I know who you are?¡±

    The tall woman said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Zhang Ning, from the national table tennis team.¡±

    Zhang Ning reached out to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her hand. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Zhang Ning¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red. ¡°I just wanted to thank you. Thank you so much.¡±

    With that, Zhang Ning bowed to Xia Wanyuan and left.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ¡°Why is she thanking me?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Zhang Ning¡¯s back. ¡°Do you want to know?¡±

    ¡°Obviously.¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and said, ¡°I¡¯m not telling you.¡±

    ¡°?!¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Jun Shiling, aren¡¯t you going too far now?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled but did not speak.

    Facing the cheers and screams of the fans, the two of them finally sat back in the car. The car window isted all the noise.

    ¡°Tell me quickly.¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling.

    ¡°She¡¯s on the national table tennis team and has won countless awards. Three years ago, because of the referee¡¯s corrupted judgment, she was disqualified from thepetition. She also had no fate with that world champion.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and slowly exined to her.

    ¡°Then why did she thank me?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ¡°I don¡¯t remember having any interactions with her. Could it be that the organizingmittee has restored her honor too?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°I think she¡¯s thanking you for fighting for China.¡±

    As the celebrity contestant of China, Zhang Ning had won countless awards.

    To be honest, not winning the championship in thepetition three years ago had no effect on Zhang Ning¡¯s career at all. It did not affect her bing one of the most outstanding table tennis yers in history.

    However, she had always been brooding over this. It was probably because¡­

    That time, she was disqualified by the referee, cklisted, and treated unfairly. In a sense, it also represented the disdain others had for China.

    Not only was Zhang Ning indignant that she had been treated differently, but she was also aggrieved by the unfair treatment of China.

    This time, not only did Xia Wanyuan sessfully win the world championship in front of so many strong enemies, but she also made the American team and the official organizingmittee apologize in front of the world.

    This made Zhang Ning and the group of athletes who had been treated unfairly feel excited.

    They realized that the world was not always covered by darkness. Someone would always stand up and tear open the cover of darkness, allowing light to return to the world.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan still did not understand, Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Anyway, you don¡¯t have to care why she insisted on thanking you. You just need to know that you¡¯re an especially good person.¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Only you think I¡¯m good.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Especially, especially, many people think that you¡¯re very good.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°CEO Jun is very good too.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me. You¡¯re injured now. I don¡¯t want to take advantage of you.¡±

    ¡°???¡± Xia Wanyuan looked helpless at the baffling change of topic.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan wasing back today, Xiao Bao got Bo Xiao to send him back to the manor early in the morning.

    The car had just turned onto a boulevard when Xia Wanyuan saw Xiao Bao sitting at the door.

    ¡°Mommy!!!¡± Xiao Bao ran over.

    The chauffeur could only stop the car by the roadside. Xiao Bao jumped into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms. ¡°Mommy, I miss you so much.¡±

    Xiao Bao had seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance when she participated in thepetition on television. His admiration for Xia Wanyuan was probably much greater than that of a gxy.

    His eyes were sparkling with admiration as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wee home, my champion mommy!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused by him. She reached out and stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bao.¡±

    Jun Shiling walked out and pulled Xiao Bao down. ¡°Your mother¡¯s shoulder is injured. Don¡¯t disturb her.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Daddy, didn¡¯t you protect Mommy well? Why did you let her get hurt?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and began to show concern for her, as if he wanted to make up for all the care he had lost in the past few days.

    Jun Shiling stood on the spot and watched the mother and son leave, feeling a headache.

    At this moment, Xiao Bao turned around. ¡°Daddy, hurry up. Why are you so blind?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling took out his phone and sent Bo Xiao a message.

    ¡°You teach him blindly every day.¡±

    Jun Yin had always been mischievous. After living with Bo Xiao for a while, he became even more mischievous.

    Bo Xiao replied quickly, ¡°I only triggered the hidden genes in your son¡¯s body. How can you me me?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not reply. Bo Xiao turned off his phone and touched An Rao¡¯s stomach. ¡°Aiya, son, you have to listen to Daddy obediently in the future.¡±

    An Rao snorted. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Get me something to eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao stood up, his fox-like eyes filled with smiles. ¡°The due date is next month. I¡¯ll feed you until you¡¯re fair and fat now. There¡¯ll be a fair and fat child next month.¡±

    ¡°Just get me a bowl of white fungus porridge. I can¡¯t eat too much.¡± An Rao looked worried. ¡°If I eat too much, I won¡¯t be able to wear the wedding dress.¡±

    An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s wedding was almost done with its preparations.

    For convenience, their wedding was not far away. Instead, they chose a resort outside Beijing.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had sent people to help decorate the wedding.

    An Rao liked Western-style. At this moment, the outdoor wedding area was almost built.

    The roses that were flown over from all over the country decorated the entire field into a sea of roses.

    Even from afar, one could see how exquisite the venue was. The host and staff were doing the final rehearsal.

    After all, there were many VIPsing on the wedding day. No mistakes were allowed.

    ¡°Hey, what are you looking at? Why aren¡¯t you going to the rehearsal?¡± Seeing a thin figure standing in front of the champagne, the staff walked over and reminded her.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go right away.¡± The girl turned around. Her face was pale, but it was obvious that she was a delicate beauty.

    The staff¡¯s attitude became a little more harmonious. ¡°Alright, hurry up and go. Don¡¯t dy Captain Bo¡¯s wedding with Madam Bo.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The girl¡¯s lips twitched, then she turned and left.

    The staff did not notice that the moment the girl turned around, the smile on her face had disappeared and turned into hatred and jealousy.

    An Lin walked along the rose corridor. Along the way, she saw small surprises that Bo Xiao had carefully prepared.

    An Rao liked to y Lian Po in the game, so Bo Xiao got someone to make many cartoon Lian Po dolls and ced them among the flowers.

    When Bo Xiao met An Rao, he was ying Li Bai. Bo Xiao even got someone to create many cards for Li Bai.

    He even took many photos of the theme of King of Glory with An Rao.

    In the photo, Bo Xiao looked at An Rao with gentle love. An Rao touched her stomach and smiled happily.

    Looking at An Rao¡¯s smile, An Lin almost broke her nails.

    She stared fixedly at An Rao¡¯s face.

    She did not understand. She hated.

    She hated that An Rao was better than her in everything.

    The first time she saw An Rao like this, she was also smiling happily beside her parents. She was wearing an expensive princess dress, as if she was the most carefree little angel in the world.

    She had finally snatched An Rao¡¯s parents away after much effort, making An Rao¡¯s parents treat her as their own and ignore An Rao.

    She thought that this way, An Rao would change from a white swan to an ugly duckling. She was very happy to see An Rao enter the entertainment industry.

    And the development of the matter was as she had expected. Although An Rao was popr, she had be hated on the Inte. No one liked her. Everyone scolded her for being a vixen.

    As for An Lin? She had be a student of a famous university and had endless glory and the love of Father An and Mother An.

    However, after so many twists and turns, she still lost.

    An Rao still became a little princess in Bo Xiao¡¯s hands. The child in her stomach would grow up with the love of her parents.

    But what about her, An Lin? She felt disgusted when she thought of the child whom she did not know who the father was.

    An Lin closed her eyes. She did not want to see how happy An Rao was on the poster.

    What she wanted was for An Rao to forever be a pitiful worm that no one loved.

    he rehearsal in front was still going on. An Lin sneaked backstage when no one was paying attention.

    Continent F.

    ¡°Sister Lin Yi, why isn¡¯t Brother Xia Yu awake yet?¡± Stone looked at the pale Xia Yu on the bed and was very worried.

    Lin Yi took a sip of water. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry, He¡¯ll wake up soon.¡±

    At this moment, the ne began to move. The scenery outside the window quickly moved back.

    That night, Lin Yi really felt that she was going to die in that junkyard.

    To be honest, she really thought that Xia Yu was dead and Stone was almost unconscious.

    For a moment, Lin Yi felt that since her parents had already passed away and even Xia Yu and Stone had left, she would be relieved if they died.

    However, when she woke up, she found herself lying in a clean room with familiar Chinese faces and Chinesenguage around her.

    She asked a few questions before knowing.

    It turned out that when the search and rescue team arrived that day, they also thought that Xia Yu was dead. Initially, everyone had the intention of bringing his corpse back to China.

    However, they did not expect Xia Yu¡¯s corpse to slowly warm up after being in the ward for the entire night.

    The medical team was shocked and hurriedly began to save Xia Yu. Only then did they realize that Xia Yu had only taken some medicine and had fallen into a state of fake death.

    Although his body was weak, his life was saved.

    As for Lin Yi and Stone, they had already recovered under the careful care of the medical team.

    ¡°Sister Lin Yi, where are we going?¡± Stone looked at the clouds outside the window and was a little puzzled.

    Lin Yi estimated and her eyes suddenly wavered. ¡°We should be going to China.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Third Miss hasn¡¯t returned to the country in a long time.¡± The butler sighed. ¡°When Third Miss left China, she was still a child. She¡¯s probably a grown woman now.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan slowly spun a cup with a faint smile on his lips. ¡°Alright, go ahead. If Yu Qian has any instructions, just do it for him.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The butler bowed respectfully and left.

    On the ne from Continent F to China, Xia Yu¡¯s eyshes fluttered.

    Lin Yi had been guarding the bed. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s movements, joy shed across her eyes. She put down the cup in her hand and called out softly, ¡°Xia Yu?¡±

    On the bed, Xia Yu¡¯s eyshes trembled more and more. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of clear almond-shaped eyes.

    The moment he opened his eyes, Xia Yu saw Lin Yi¡¯s bright smile. He coughed lightly. ¡°Water.¡±

    Lin Yi immediately brought the ss over and fed Xia Yu a mouthful of water with a spoon.

    Xia Yu sized up the scene in the cabin. ¡°We were saved?¡±

    Lin Yi nodded. ¡°Yes, the Chinese rescue team saved us. We¡¯re heading to China now.¡±

    Joy shed across Xia Yu¡¯s eyes. ¡°China?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Lin Yi was very happy. ¡°You can see your sister. Are you happy?¡±

    Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu¡¯s expression softened.

    However, he then thought of Wei Zimu and frowned tightly. His fake death state was not formed naturally, but because of the medicine in Wei Zimu¡¯s cup of tea.

    <i>However, why did Wei Zimu let me go after capturing me?? Is Wei Zimu a good person or a bad person?</i>

    Xia Yu thought for a while. His weak body could not support such a huge amount of thought for the time being. His head hurt and he felt dizzy. He could only quietly close his eyes and fall back into a resting state.

    Beside the bed, Lin Yi looked at Xia Yu¡¯s delicate side profile withplicated emotions in her eyes.

    She could clearly feel that perhaps in Continent F, it was the ce she was closest to Xia Yu. Once she returned to China, it might be difficult for her to even be friends with Xia Yu.

    Lin Yi sighed silently.

    <i>Why was it that ces that could not be solved with food and food were filled with warmth and sincerity, while peaceful ces were filled with scheming and trickery??</i>

    The ne quickly passed through the clouds and approached China.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, Wei Zimu returned to the underground base on time.

    Hearing Wei Zimu¡¯s report, Yu Qian did not seem surprised at all.

    ¡°So, Brother, you let him go after capturing him?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice was t.

    ¡°He¡¯s dead. The medical team has already diagnosed him,¡± Wei Zimu said quietly.

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°Alright, since you said he¡¯s dead, he¡¯s dead.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Wei Zimu replied. ¡°Is there anything else you need me to do?¡±

    ¡°There are many.¡± Yu Qian tapped his index finger on the table. He looked at the person walking over from outside the building. ¡°I¡¯ll get Jayce to bring the ore business in Continent F to you. Learn from him first. From next month onwards, I¡¯ll hand over the ore business over there to you.¡±

    ¡°Leave it all to me?¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s voice rose a little. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll mess it up for you?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°So what if you mess it up? Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter if you mess that little thing. I¡¯ll just treat it as you¡¯re ying.¡±

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Wei Zimu did not want to talk to Yu Qian anymore.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Qian was not angry. There was even a smile in his tone.

    Yu Qian had just hung up when the two people downstairs walked in.

    ¡°Are you still angry with me?¡± Chu Yi nced at the angry Feng Wuyou beside him with a smile.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going overseas to y with me? You liar, why did I wake up in the south?¡± Feng Wuyou looked at Chu Yi angrily.

    She had wanted to go abroad with Chu Yi, but who would have thought that she would sleep on the ne? When she woke up, she was already in Linxi, China.

    ¡°I have a surprise for you.¡± Chu Yi patientlyforted Feng Wuyou. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to be here? Haven¡¯t you never been to Lin Xi?¡±

    Feng Wuyou was attracted by the surprise Chu Yi was talking about. ¡°Okay, okay. Then you have to y with me for the next few days.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Chu Yi nodded.

    He brought Feng Wuyou to a hotel that had been booked long ago.

    Looking at the two adjacent rooms, Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°Two rooms??¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you hinting at something?¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s ears flushed red. ¡°What? I didn¡¯t. Alright, I¡¯m going to take a shower. I¡¯ll call you after I take a shower. Let¡¯s go eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Chu Yi stood at the door and sent Feng Wuyou into the room with a smile.

    After the door closed, Chu Yi took off his sses and rubbed his eyebrows slightly. When he opened his eyes again, his aura waspletely different.

    He walked into the elevator and pressed the top floor.

    Yu Qian sat on the sofa and drank tea. Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    As soon as Yu Qian finished speaking, Chu Yi walked in.

    ¡°Young Master Chu, nice to meet you.¡± Yu Qian nodded at Chu Yi, his eyes expressionless.

    ¡°CEO Yu.¡± Chu Yi walked over and sat on the sofa in front of Yu Qian. He did not always sit extremely dignified like Yu Qian. Even on such an asion, Chu Yi sat very casually. ¡°I really don¡¯t know what wind China blew to actually blow CEO Yu over.¡±

    Yu Qian pushed a contract in front of Chu Yi. ¡°Didn¡¯t the Chu family, who has never stepped foot in China,e to China too?¡±

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°CEO Yu, you must be joking. I came to China mainly to chase after my escaped fianc¨¦e. Our Chu family has left China for many years.¡±

    Yu Qian was silent. It was unknown if he believed Chu Yi¡¯s words.

    After a while, Chu Yi finished reading the contract in front of him. ¡°There¡¯s no problem.¡±

    Yu Qian nodded. ¡°Then sign it.¡±

    ¡°However, I have another condition.¡± Chu Yi stopped Yu Qian¡¯s hand that was about to sign.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Yu Qian nodded.

    ¡°We¡¯ve worked together for so long, but I still don¡¯t know CEO Yu¡¯s true identity. Isn¡¯t it a little too unfair?¡± Chu Yi sized up Yu Qian.

    This person had worked with the Chu family on many projects, but to be honest, Chu Yi was not confident. He seemed to have never figured out Yu Qian¡¯s background.

    Yu Qian looked straight into Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°As long as there are benefits, is there a need to be fair?¡±

    The two of them looked at each other as if they had already engaged in an intense battle. After a while, Chu Yi suddenly smiled. ¡°CEO Yu is right. As long as CEO Yu¡¯s benefits are in ce, what¡¯s the point of me hesitating so much?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yi signed the contract very simply. Yu Qian also wrote his name on the contract.

    Just as the contract was signed, Chu Yi¡¯s phone rang.

    He pressed the answer button and Feng Wuyou¡¯s face appeared on the screen. ¡°Chu Yi, I¡¯m done packing. Let¡¯s go down and eat?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yi slowly put on his sses with his usual warm smile. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in the hall downstairs.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up the video call, Chu Yi stood up. ¡°My fianc¨¦e is more clingy. I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of CEO Yu. I¡¯ll leave first. I¡¯m looking forward to our cooperation.¡±

    Yu Qian nodded and watched Chu Yi leave the room.

    The door closed, and Yu Qian picked up the remote control to turn on the television.

    The screen happened to show the broadcast of Xia Wanyuan participating in the fencingpetition.

    In the video, blood kept seeping down Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. However, her beautiful face was filled with determination. There was no hint of retreat or timidity.

    Yu Qian looked at it for a while and suddenly made a call. ¡°Arrange a ne to Beijing for me.¡±

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Jayce was stunned. ¡°Beijing? Are you sure?¡±

    The current Beijing was not likest year. This year was a critical election year, and the capital could be said to have changed.

    In addition, the battle between the Jiang family and the Jun family had reached its climax. The current capital was like the center of a storm, able to implicate everything.

    ¡°Do you need me to repeat myself?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s voice was cold.

    ¡°No.¡± Jayce shook his head quickly. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange it for you immediately.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, spring was blooming and it was warm everywhere.

    It was springtime, and even Jun Shiling seemed to be tainted with spring. He had liked to fool around with Xia Wanyuan for the past two days.

    Xia Wanyuan woke up near noon and yawned tiredly.

    Jun Shiling walked around from behind. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. ¡°We agreed to go to the wedding venue today. It¡¯s all your fault for fooling around.¡±

    Jun Shiling coughed lightly. ¡°I¡¯ll send you over in the afternoon. Can¡¯t we go and see it together?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat up. ¡°Put on my clothes.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    After dinner, Jun Shiling rejected his work in thepany and focused on apanying Xia Wanyuan to the wedding venue.

    After being cooped up in the city for a few days, Xia Wanyuan felt much more rxed now that she was in the suburbs.

    From afar, Xia Wanyuan could already see how beautifully the wedding venue was decorated.

    When they got closer, they could see all sorts of colorful wreaths and balloons at the scene, as well as the roof that was designed to look like a starry sky and the live set with the theme of the Sea Kingdom.

    A carpet with dream lights wasid on the ground. When he stepped on it, it was as if he had entered the empire of Antis.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved slightly. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. An Rao will definitely like it very much.¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled her in. ¡°It was arranged ording to her preferences.¡±

    When the staff saw the two of them, they consciously avoided them.

    An Rao was about to give birth and her health was not good, so the final inspection could only be handed to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan watched very seriously.

    After she finished looking at the wedding banquet decorations, she was about to turn around when she suddenly saw a back view from the corner of her eye.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    Her intuition had always been very urate, and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability to recognize people was very good. She felt that the back of that person just now gave her a very bad feeling.

    ¡°Look at that person over there.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and pointed at the long corridor not far away.

    ¡°Who?¡± Puzzlement shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. There was clearly no one in the long corridor.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned even more. ¡°It¡¯s a little strange.¡±

    Jun Shiling naturally believed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to investigateter. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and continued walking with Jun Shiling.

    At the end of the long corridor, An Lin hid in the corner, feeling a little surprised.

    She naturally saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    She hated Xia Wanyuan more than An Rao.

    In her opinion, if An Rao had not met Xia Wanyuan, she would not have such a good life today.

    This was all Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fault.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had Jun Shiling protecting her. She could not do anything to her. Thinking of this, An Lin¡¯s eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.

    <i>Why was everyone else so happy? Why should I be despised like a rat in the gutter?</i>

    Thinking of this, An Lin¡¯s mind was filled with curses for Xia Wanyuan. She walked out and followed Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    What vignt people were Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling?

    In the hospital, Xia Yu was arranged to the VIP ward. The experts were conducting a consultation with him.

    With the best medical conditions, Xia Yu¡¯s condition was much better than on the ne.

    When Xia Wanyuan entered the ward, Xia Yu was already awake. He was leaning against the bed frame and asking the doctor to bandage his wound.

    The moment the medicine was applied, Xia Yu gasped in pain.

    The door opened. Xia Yu thought it was a doctor. ¡°Doctor, can you get me some painkillers?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at the door in confusion and was stunned.

    Standing at the door was Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and nced at Xia Yu¡¯s wound. ¡°How did you end up like this?¡±

    Xia Yu had never cried even after rolling through mountains of knives and seas of mes for so long. Now that he was facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s questioning, he cried. ¡°I was beaten up by someone.¡±

    Xia Yu was extremely aggrieved. He reached out and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, like a child who had been wronged and went toin to the adults.

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xia Yu¡¯s hair in amusement. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Let the doctor bandage your wound properly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded and pulled Xia Wanyuan in a very dependent manner.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling walked in. His gazended on Xia Yu¡¯s hand that was holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. His eyes were slightly cold.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze and turned to re at him gently. Only then did Jun Shiling behave and sit quietly at the side.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan finally noticed a young girl sitting on the other side of the ward. She looked extremely lively and sunny.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan entered, Lin Yi had been looking at her.

    Dear readers! you are reading on our content copy site.Please copy and search this link " https://bom.so/sBJMIa " to support us

    It was because when she was in Continent F those days, Lin Yi had heard too much about Xia Wanyuan from Xia Yu. ording to Xia Yu, Xia Wanyuan was a god-like figure.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was standing in front of him, Lin Yi felt that Xia Yu¡¯s description was really too thin.

    Xia Wanyuan was indeed a person more divine than a god.

    ¡°You are?¡± Xia Wanyuan sensed Lin Yi¡¯s scrutiny and felt that there was no hostility in it.

    Only then did Xia Yu introduce her to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, this is Lin Yi. She¡¯s a reporter. We met in Continent F.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Sister Xia.¡± Lin Yi smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Thank you for saving me too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at her, then turned around and whispered into Xia Yu¡¯s ear, ¡°A yboy?¡±

    ]Xia Yu¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened and his ears began to turn red. ¡°Sister, what are you saying?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled but did not speak. When she looked up, she saw Jun Shiling looking straight at her.

    Xia Wanyuan was amused. She patted Xia Yu¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, bandage your wound first. We¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu nodded.

    Lin Yi stood up. ¡°Since you¡¯re all here, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    Lin Yi ran outside all year round, but thepany she worked for was actually in Beijing. This was the first time Lin Yi had returned to China in a few years, so she naturally had to return to thepany.

    ¡°Mm, thank you for taking care of Xia Yu.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Lin Yi.

    Lin Yi nced at Xia Yu and was a little embarrassed. ¡°You¡¯re too kind. I¡¯ll leave first¡­¡±

    Lin Yi quickly disappeared into the corridor. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walked out the door and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. Xia Wanyuan could not help but touch him. ¡°Why are you jealous? That¡¯s my younger brother.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not like you¡¯re biological.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Then go back yourself. I¡¯ll be here alone.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°Are you a child, CEO Jun?¡± Xia Wanyuan was really impressed. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t your jealousy dissipated after so long?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jun Shiling was very righteous. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    After Xia Yu¡¯s wound was treated, there was no other problem.

    When Xiao Bao heard that his uncle was back, he quarreled and asked the chauffeur to send him to the ward.

    Xiao Bao had not seen Xia Yu for a long time. Seeing that Xia Yu was injured, Xiao Bao cried loudly.

    ¡°Boohoo, Uncle.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s tears fell like pearls. ¡°Uncle, why are you so injured? Who did this? I¡¯ll help you hit him!!¡±

    Xiao Bao sobbed. Xia Yu, who did not want to cry, had red eyes because of him.

    ¡°Boohoo.¡± Xiao Bao climbed into the ward and carefully hugged Xia Yu¡¯s arm. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ll blow on it for you.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao gently blew at Xia Yu¡¯s wound. Xia Yu was simply too cute for Xiao Bao. He rubbed Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Uncle really didn¡¯t dote on you for nothing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the door and looked around. ¡°Alright, leave Xiao Bao here to apany Xia Yu. Let¡¯s go back.¡±

    Jun Shiling could not agree more with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s suggestion. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±

    However, when she returned to the manor, Xia Wanyuan was not idle.

    Although it was alreadyte at night, Xia Wanyuan was still seriously checking the wedding gift for An Rao and the various items needed for An Rao¡¯s wedding.

    Jun Shiling had already returned to the bedroom after two meetings, but Xia Wanyuan was still busy with her own matters.

    ¡°Stop looking and sleep. Why are you so concerned about someone else¡¯s wedding?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t bother me. I want to read it seriously again.¡±

    The day after tomorrow was An Rao¡¯s wedding. Tomorrow morning, Xia Wanyuan was going to An Rao¡¯s house to help her prepare for the wedding. Now, she had to sort through everything again to prevent missing anything.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling, who was despised, could only sleep quietly.

    It was not until an hour and a halfter that Xia Wanyuan put away herputer andy under the nket.

    A pair of big hands circled her. ¡°Are you tired?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Will you be even more anxious when we hold a wedding in the future?¡±

    He had secretly nned his and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wedding for a long time, but there were too many things to do now. After settling the matters in Beijing, he wanted to give Xia Wanyuan ate wedding.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly. ¡°Alright, sleep. I¡¯ll send you over tomorrow. Goodnight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and fell asleep not long after.

    Perhaps because of the influence of the wedding atmosphere and Jun Shiling¡¯s question, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s dream that night had blue sky, white clouds, a phoenix crown, and a robe. There were also the smiles of her parents and siblings.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan brought a pile of things to An Rao¡¯s residence.

    If she wanted to get married, she naturally could not leave from Bo Xiao¡¯s house.

    Hence, An Rao returned to live in a small vi in the suburbs that she had bought.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, An Rao seemed to have seen her savior. ¡°Boohoo, Yuan Yuan, what should I do? I¡¯m so nervous!!¡±

 Chapter 1193 - CEO Jun and Bo Xiao Brothers;

    <h4>Chapter 1193: CEO Jun and Bo Xiao Brothers; Drunk</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°Why are you nervous?¡±

    An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with anxiety. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m just very nervous.¡±

    She had clearly registered her marriage with Bo Xiao and lived with him for so long, but when she thought of her wedding with Bo Xiao tomorrow, An Rao was still very flustered.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Xia Wanyuan stroked An Rao¡¯s hair, her smile carrying a calming power. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll try on the bridesmaid clothes. Help me choose.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± An Rao nodded.

    !!

    In the fitting room, Xia Wanyuan tried on the bridesmaid clothes one by one.

    No woman could reject beautiful clothes. Under the impact of the beautiful gown, An Rao¡¯s premarital anxiety seemed to have decreased a lot.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jun Corporation.

    Jun Shiling was handling work seriously in the office. Just as he signed a document, there was a knock on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    The door opened and a pair of smiling fox-like eyes appeared at the door. ¡°You¡¯re working so hard? Tomorrow is your brother¡¯s wedding. Aren¡¯t you nervous?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°Why should I be nervous? I won¡¯t even be nervous at my own wedding.¡±

    Bo Xiao sat on the sofa in disbelief. ¡°Impossible.¡±

    Even though they had lived together for a long time, Bo Xiao could not help but feel excited at the thought of marrying An Rao in front of the world during this eye-catching ceremony.

    Jun Shiling paused with the document in his hand. ¡°Go back and apany An Rao if there¡¯s nothing else. Don¡¯t stay with me.¡±

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t An Rao have Sister-inw to apany her? You¡¯re destined to be alone tonight. I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I came to apany you, but you didn¡¯t appreciate it.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling prepared to continue reading the documents.

    Bo Xiao leaned over and pulled the document away from Jun Shiling. ¡°Aiya, this is myst single night. Let¡¯s go and drink.¡±

    Jun Shiling was about to reject when Bo Xiao¡¯s tone changed. It was serious and low. ¡°Sigh, I didn¡¯t have any friends after looking around. I wanted to drink with you, but you¡¯re reluctant.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    A smile shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes before he brought Jun Shiling out.

    Jun Shiling rarely drank. At his status, there were basically not many people who could make him drink with them. In addition, Xia Wanyuan did not like the smell of alcohol, so Jun Shiling rarely drank.

    However, that night, Bo Xiao got the waiter to serve a lot of wine.

    Bo Xiao filled the wine ss and stood up. He toasted Jun Shiling solemnly. ¡°This ss, I salute you for saving my life back then.¡±

    Back then, if not for Jun Shiling passing by and getting someone to scoop up the almost frozen Bo Xiao from the pond, Bo Xiao would probably not have lived through that winter.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were deep. He nced at the wine ss in front of him, reached out to take it, clinked sses with Bo Xiao, and drank it all.

    Bo Xiao poured another ss and bowed to Jun Shiling as usual. ¡°This ss is for my appreciation to you being my superior.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling took over the Jun Corporation, he had also joined the army when he was young. This was because Old Master Jun felt that only in the military could one train one¡¯s tenacious character.

    ]He was an extremely outstanding person in all aspects. Hence, in the military camp, Jun Shiling relied on his valiant style to be the leader of that legendary team back then.

    And Bo Xiao was brought out by him.

    The two of them fought side by side and carried out missions,pleting many things that ordinary people could not.

    There was trust and tacit understanding in this. It was a determination that no amount of external things could destroy.

    Jun Shiling took Bo Xiao¡¯s ss of wine and sipped it.

    Bo Xiao poured another ss. ¡°This ss is for you and Sister-inw. Without you, I wouldn¡¯t have interacted with An Rao and had a normal family.¡±

    To Bo Xiao, who had never experienced any family warmth, he actually did not believe in love from the bottom of his heart.

    He had lived alone for so many years. He did not expect that not only did he have a wife who loved him, but he also had a child who carried their love.

    After drinking this ss, Bo Xiao filled their sses again.

    This time, Bo Xiao clinked sses with Jun Shiling while sitting. ¡°This ss of wine is between us brothers. There¡¯s something I¡¯ve never said, but I want to say today. Really, it¡¯s worth it to have a brother like you.¡±

    The sses clinked, and the wine spilled on the table, forming a wine stain.

    Outside the window, the sky was filled with stars, and the lights were as bright as day.

    It was rare for Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao to put everything aside and recall what had happened over the years. As they drank, they chatted wholeheartedly.

    Unknowingly, the wine bottles on the table were much emptier.

    When the moon was high in the sky, An Rao and Xia Wanyuan were almost done trying on clothes in the vi.

    Just as the two of them walked to the living room, there was amotion at the door.

    ¡°Come, brother, drink!!¡± Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling walked in with their arms around each other¡¯s shoulders. Their footsteps were very weak, and it was obvious that they had drunk too much.

    After Jun Shiling got drunk, he was not as outgoing as Bo Xiao, but it could be seen that his thoughts were a little unclear. He narrowed his eyes, as if he was about to faint on the ground.

    ¡°Hey, wife!¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw An Rao. He let go of Jun Shiling and pounced on An Rao. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something and softened his actions. ¡°Wife, let¡¯s go to sleep.¡±

    Jun Shiling was caught off guard by Bo Xiao and almost fell to the ground drunk. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly reached out to catch him.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, rest here. The room has been prepared for you.¡± An Rao instructed Xia Wanyuan and helped Bo Xiao upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan brought Jun Shiling into the guest room.

    After Jun Shiling got drunk, he looked different from his usual self. His cold eyes softened a little. It was only at this moment that looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s tightly shut eyes that one could remember that such a man who stood at the peak of power was actually only in his twenties.

    Xia Wanyuan took a wet handkerchief to wipe Jun Shiling¡¯s face. Jun Shiling looked up and saw a blurry figure.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to get up when Jun Shiling pulled her back. ¡°Baby, don¡¯t go.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan in his arms like a toy. ¡°I like you so much.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused. ¡°I know.¡±

    ¡°I especially, especially, especially like you,¡± Jun Shiling repeated this sentence. The strong smell of alcohol spread from him. Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was drunk.

    She had heard Jun Shiling confess many times, but this was the first time she had heard him confess after he was drunk.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling was unconscious and said what he wanted to say instinctively. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she reached out to touch Jun Shiling¡¯s hair. ¡°CEO Jun, are you a child?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not answer and only hugged Xia Wanyuan, repeating that sentence endlessly. Xia Wanyuan did not leave and allowed Jun Shiling to hug her, patiently listening to Jun Shiling repeat it word by word.

    At this moment, upstairs, Bo Xiao was finally drunk. Usually, An Rao was always restrained by Bo Xiao. Now that she had the opportunity, she asked all sorts of questions that Bo Xiao would definitely not answer honestly.

    At first, Bo Xiao answered the questions honestly, butter on,

    ¡°Come, Bo Xiao, let me ask you. Is An Rao good-looking?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°How many ex-girlfriends do you have?¡±

    ¡°So many.¡±

    An Rao pped Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Get up. Are you not drunk at all?!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m drunk, I¡¯m drunk.¡± The corners of Bo Xiao¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he kept rubbing against An Rao.

    ¡°You¡¯re telling the truth after drinking. So it¡¯s true that you have many ex-girlfriends??¡± An Rao was furious. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re amazing. Stay away from me.¡±

    Bo Xiao finally could not hold back hisughter. He opened his eyes. Although his beautiful fox-like eyes were a little drunk, they were still very bright. ¡°I was teasing you. How would I dare?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, who knows if you¡¯re telling the truth?¡± An Rao snorted softly.

    Bo Xiao stepped forward and pulled An Rao into his arms. ¡°I swear, if I lie to you, I¡¯ll¡­¡±

    Before he could finish speaking, An Rao covered his mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±

    Bo Xiao kissed An Rao¡¯s palm. The heat scalded An Rao.

    An Rao retracted her hand. ¡°What?¡±

    Bo Xiao nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    It took An Rao a long time to realize what Bo Xiao meant. She was so embarrassed that her face was red. She punched Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You! Why are you so indecent?¡±

    Bo Xiaoughed out loud and leaned towards An Rao. ¡°I was joking with you. You don¡¯t have to cover my mouth. Actually, I was about to say that if I lie to you, I¡¯ll drink less soy milk tomorrow.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s cheeks flushed red from Bo Xiao¡¯s teasing. ¡°Why are you so annoying!¡±

    Bo Xiao was all smiles. ¡°I was teasing you.¡±

    ¡°Is it fun?¡± An Rao red at Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao nodded seriously. ¡°It¡¯s quite fun.¡±

    Before An Rao exploded, Bo Xiao hurriedly went forward to smooth her hair. ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong. I was just too happy. I was just teasing you. Don¡¯t be angry.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Rao nced at Bo Xiao. ¡°Then bring me a cup of tea.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bo Xiao smiled and went forward to bring the tea over. He served An Rao and helped her lie on the bed. ¡°Little Master, rest well. I¡¯ll hold an appointment ceremony for you tomorrow.¡±

    An Rao could not help butugh. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying.¡±

    Bo Xiao blinked at An Rao. ¡°Do you still want to be the Empress? How can you talk to your husband like this?¡±

    An Rao pulled Bo Xiao¡¯s arm. ¡°Stop joking. Come and sleep.¡±

    Lying on the bed, Bo Xiao unted to An Rao, ¡°Let me tell you, Jun Shiling can¡¯t hold his liquor very well. Your husband can hold his liquor much better than him.¡±

    An Rao was speechless. ¡°Do you men even have topare this?¡±

    <i>He was reallypetitive.</i>

    Bo Xiao clicked his tongue. ¡°You women don¡¯t understand.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright. Stop wasting time and sleep.¡± An Rao now felt that Bo Xiao was actually drunk too, but he was different from others when he was drunk.

    Other people were not very sober after being drunk, but Bo Xiao was too excited after being drunk.

    Bo Xiao argued with An Rao for a long time before slowly falling asleep.

    Late at night, Jun Shiling, who was drunk, finally frowned and opened his eyes.

    He had just opened his eyes when he saw Xia Wanyuan reading in his arms. Jun Shiling looked up at the time. It was already half-past twelve in the morning.

    Jun Shiling sat up and the nket draped over him slipped. His drunken voice was very low. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Mm, if I¡¯m drunk, just leave me alone. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡±

    Helplessness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°You kept talking after you got drunk. I couldn¡¯t sleep either.¡±

    ¡°What did I say?¡± Jun Shiling was rarely drunk and had no memory at all.

    There was a hint of warmth in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡­ You kept hugging me and saying that you liked me without stopping.¡±

    It was as if Xia Wanyuan would disappear if he said less. Thinking of the scene just now, Xia Wanyuan felt a little amused and touched.

    ¡°Quick, sleep.¡± Jun Shiling pulled the nket over and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°There are still many things to do tomorrow. Next time I¡¯m drunk, just lock me outside the door. I¡¯ll be fine when I¡¯m sober. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan buried herself in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. He was drunk, but it did not smell bad. There was a mellow fragrance. ¡°I like hearing you talk to me like that just now. I can¡¯t bear to lock you outside the door.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan snuggled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling swallowed. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re sober, right?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Then when you¡¯re sober, I¡¯ll just tell you that I like you very much too.¡± It was a response to Jun Shiling¡¯s thousands of confessions.

    The temperature in Jun Shiling¡¯s palm suddenly rose. ¡°Did you do it on purpose?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and leaned closer to Jun Shiling. ¡°No, I¡¯m tired. I don¡¯t want to do anything. Goodnight.¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Okay, goodnight.¡±

    A good night¡¯s sleep.

    The next day, Bo Xiao¡¯s side went crazy from looking for him.

    <i>On the day of the wedding, the groom was lost. What was going on??</i>

    After the staff made a round of calls, Bo Xiao finally called. ¡°Um, I¡¯m at An Rao¡¯s ce. Drive the wedding car over and wait outside.¡±

    The staff was a little troubled. ¡°This is against the rules.¡±

    <i>Logically speaking, the groom had to pick the bride up from her home. How could this be? The groom ran straight to the bride¡¯s house.</i>

    Bo Xiao did not care. ¡°What rules¡­¡±

    Before he could finish speaking, An Rao gently kicked Bo Xiao. ¡°What are you doing? Go back quickly.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Bo Xiao had no choice. Who asked his wife to be the boss? He hung up and stood up. ¡°Wait here for your husband to pick you up.¡±

    An Rao nced at Bo Xiao angrily. The staff who came to do makeup and styling An Rao could not help but smile mockingly.

    Under everyone¡¯s teasing gazes, Bo Xiao swaggered away.

    Jun Shiling did not want to be Bo Xiao¡¯s groomsman, but Xia Wanyuan wanted to be An Rao¡¯s bridesmaid.

    ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s personality, how could he allow others to be his best man? Hence, he could only go on stage himself.

    t that moment, Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao left the vi together.

    The vi was lively and filled with hurried staff.

    Everyone was busy styling An Rao and Xia Wanyuan.

    At ten in the morning, An Rao, who was wearing aplete wedding dress and a veil, finally left the cloakroom.

    Ever since she got pregnant, An Rao rarely put on makeup.

    As the old saying went, the bride was the most beautiful.

    At that moment, An Rao was like a blooming rose with the help of a beautiful wedding dress and beautiful makeup. She was a beautiful scenery as she stood there.

    Xia Wanyuan appeared beside An Rao in a light-colored dress. Although her clothes were not as gorgeous as An Rao¡¯s, she still had a unique beauty. She did not steal the limelight, but she had her own aura.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao. ¡°Very beautiful.¡±

    An Rao¡¯s eyes sparkled. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful too!!¡±

    At this moment, everyone¡¯s voices came from outside the door.

    The wedding car that came to pick An Rao up arrived. The door opened and Bo Xiao, who was dressed in a suit, appeared in front of everyone.

    Ever since An Rao got pregnant, Bo Xiao had been taking care of her at home every day and was dressed more casually.

    This was the first time An Rao had seen Bo Xiao dressed so formally in so many days.

    He was handsome and tall, just like when they first met. An Rao¡¯s eyes subconsciously curved up. Bo Xiao walked towards An Rao with a smile in his eyes. He handed a hand to An Rao. ¡°Let¡¯s go, my little Lian Po.¡±

    A smile appeared on An Rao¡¯s face. ¡°Okay, Brother Li Bai.¡±

    She held Bo Xiao¡¯s hand and slowly walked forward. At that moment, Jun Shiling walked over from afar. He nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Bridesmaid??¡±

    The people beside her had already begun to secretlyugh. Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked over. ¡°The best man is very handsome today.¡±

    Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s wedding was already the greatest reduction in the scale of the event. However, in the eyes of everyone, their assets were still very grand.

    The 99 luxury cars circled more than half of Beijing.

    From time to time, staff would step forward and distribute the wedding candy to the onlookers.

    Weibo was already flooded with the topic ¡°Bo Xiao An Rao Wedding¡±.

    [Ahhh, I was in Beijing today and specially woke up early to watch their float parade. Amazing, I saw a side profile of An Rao from the car window. Boohoo, she¡¯s so beautiful!!]

    [I can only say that the scene of rich people getting married is really different. That luxury car team circled the capital. Is An Rao marrying into a rich family?]

    [ There¡¯s a question I don¡¯t understand. Such a hugemotion isn¡¯t forbidden? Won¡¯t it disturb the people?? ]

    [ The person in front, stop disturbing the people, okay? I can only say that I¡¯m envious that An Rao has a good best friend. Do you know how much security fees Xia Wanyuan helped An Rao give the surrounding residents? I just hate that I don¡¯t live in Beijing. Otherwise, I could have made a small fortune. ]

    There were not many people invited to Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s wedding. The two of them were equivalent to being parentless. Other than their loved ones, Bo Xiao¡¯s teachers andrades, there were not many people at the wedding.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling came with the float.

    After the careful care of the experts, Xia Yu¡¯s wound was gradually healing, so he brought Xiao Bao to the wedding venue.

    Tang Yin and Fu Li had also been invited. During this period of time, Tang Yin had been found to be pregnant. The entire Fu family wished they could treat her like a treasure. Other than the Fu family, they did not let her go anywhere else.

    This time, Tang Yin could finally go out for a walk when An Rao got married. Her eyes were filled with joy.

    There were not many people An Rao knew. The remaining guests were Bo Xiao¡¯s friends.

    Although there were not many people, they were all Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s most trusted people. At this moment, everyone had sincere blessings on their faces.

    Not long after, Bo Xiao and An Rao¡¯s wedding car arrived.

    Gentle music sounded. Bo Xiao got out of the car first, then turned around and helped An Rao, who was wearing a flower crown, down.

    Everyone cheered.

    Xiao Bao was wearing a custom-made suit and a bow tie. He held a flower basket in his hand and his big eyes curved up. ¡°I wish Uncle Bo Xiao and Auntie An Rao a hundred years of happiness.¡±

    Everyone was amused by Xiao Bao¡¯s mischievous look. Bo Xiao took out a big red packet from his pocket and stuffed it in front of Xiao Bao. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    Xiao Bao walked behind Bo Xiao and An Rao with the flower basket and obediently became his little flower boy.

    A long red carpet wasid from the door to the church. Surrounded by everyone, Bo Xiao and An Rao slowly walked in.

    At this moment, at the back door of the venue, a figure in a hat was secretly looking in.

    From here, she could not see the scene at the door, but from the cheers of the crowd, An Lin could imagine how happy An Rao was. She looked up at the camera in front of her.

    During this period of time, she had been using her identity as a staff member to mingle with the security here.

    It was too easy to win the trust of a single man in his thirties.

    Anyway, her body had already been ruined by someone, so An Lin decided to use it. Thinking of the figure crawling on herst night, An Lin subconsciously wanted to vomit.

    Hearing the blessings, music, the hatred in An Lin¡¯s heart soared.

    She could only live like a bug, but An Lin could get married in such a beautiful ce.

    This was not fair.

    An Lin called the security guard. ¡°Let me in.¡±

    Although the security guard was lecherous, he was still a little afraid. ¡°Linlin, can you tell me why you¡¯re going to the basement??¡±

    An Lin smiled. ¡°Captain, are you still worried that I¡¯ll cause you trouble? What can a woman like me do? Isn¡¯t the basement connected to the top? I just want to see the wedding from that small hole. There¡¯s no other meaning.¡±

    The security captain thought for a while and felt that An Lin was right.

    An Lin looked thin and weak and did not look like she could cause any trouble.

    Thinking of An Lin¡¯s fair skin, the security captain chuckled. ¡°Baby,e back early after the wedding. Hubby will dote on you.¡±

    Disgust shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes, but her mouth was very obedient. ¡°Okay, when I go back tonight, I will definitely serve you well.¡±

    With that, An Lin hung up and walked deeper into the basement.

    In the church, as everyone entered, countless petals and ribbons fell. Everyone sat down.

    An Rao did not invite Father An and Mother An over. The task of walking the red carpet with An Rao was handed to Xia Wanyuan.

    Speaking of which, Xia Wanyuan was more qualified than anyone toplete the mission of walking the red carpet with An Rao and handing her hand to Bo Xiao.

    In An Rao¡¯s opinion, if not for Xia Wanyuan, she would definitely not have obtained everything today.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to An Rao, who could not help but smile. ¡°Sister, thank you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly. ¡°You should thank yourself.¡±

    Actually, she had only helped him a little. What really attracted Bo Xiao was everything in An Rao¡¯s heart.

    An Rao ced her hand in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s palm and followed her forward.

    At the end of the red carpet stood Bo Xiao. He was staring at An Rao with a smile.

    A beautiful piano piece sounded. Amidst everyone¡¯s apuse andughter, An Rao slowly walked forward. The huge wedding dress spread out behind her like a gxy.

    At this moment, An Lin had already walked in from the basement.

    This church had a long history. Back then, when Cherry Blossom Country invaded China, many Chinese were forced to escape to the church to seek help.

    In order to hide these escapees, the monks in the church had dug out a basement at the bottom of the church overnight. It was notrge, but it was just below the entire church.

    When peaceful times came, the basement was abandoned. An Lin only found out about this ce from the security captain.

    At this moment, the originally empty basement was filled with all sorts of gunpowder.

    An Lin had transported these in a garbage truck at night when no one was around.

    Hearing the various cheers above her head, the corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up slightly.?<i>I¡¯ll let An Rao die at her wedding today.</i>

    Since she were already here, An Lin was not in a hurry. She sat on the ground and listened to themotion above her.

    As if thinking of something, An Lin took out her phone and made a call.

    The call was quickly connected. It was very noisy on the other end. There were arguments and the cries of a child.

    ¡°Linlin, where did you go? Why didn¡¯t you answer my calls??¡± Mother An¡¯s anxious face appeared on the screen. She looked at An Lin with tears in her eyes.

    ¡°Mom.¡± The corners of An Lin¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡±

    Mother An carried the child An Lin gave birth to. ¡°If you don¡¯t want the child, we¡¯ll send him to the orphanage. Can youe back? I don¡¯t me you anymore, and your father doesn¡¯t me you either. We¡¯re worried about you being outside alone.¡±

    An Lin raised her phone higher. ¡°Did you hear that? Guess what¡¯s going on up there?¡±

    Mother An listened for a while, and her expression changed slightly. ¡°An Rao¡¯s wedding?¡±

    They had seen the news of An Rao¡¯s marriage on television early in the morning. Now that she heard the wedding march, Mother An naturally thought of An Rao.

    <i>However, why was An Lin at the wedding too?</i>?Mother An¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°What are you doing there?¡±

    An Lin smiled. ¡°Mom, actually, I pity you.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Actually, when I was five, I cut my hand myself. I just framed An Rao. When I was ten, I jumped into the pond myself. When I was twelve, I stole the money¡­¡± An Lin slowly counted what had happened back then.

    The more Mother An listened, the wider her eyes widened. In the end, she could not believe it. ¡°You, why are you saying this now?¡±

    She had an ominous feeling.

    As expected, the corners of An Lin¡¯s lips curled up slightly and she smiled. ¡°I deliberately ostracized An Rao. Who asked her to be so beautiful? Furthermore, she has parents from rich families like you. Now, I don¡¯t have to please you.¡±

    At this moment, Mother An finally saw the gunpowder behind An Lin. Her expression changed drastically. ¡°What are you doing?!¡±

    An Lin smiled. ¡°What? I want An Rao and the rest to die with me. I didn¡¯t want to live half a year ago. If not for the fact that I wanted An Rao to die with me, do you think I could have endured until today?¡±

    ¡°Linlin, can you not be like this?¡± Mother An¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and panic. ¡°Didn¡¯t your father and I treat you well enough? We treat you much better than An Rao. What are you dissatisfied with?¡±

    At this point, Mother An¡¯s emotions wereplicated. In all fairness, she and Father An doted on An Lin as their biological daughter. As for An Rao, they had let her down.

    ¡°Satisfied? Before I went to university, I was indeed quite satisfied.¡± An Lin smiled mockingly. ¡°You only dote on me and not An Rao. I¡¯m very satisfied, but I don¡¯t understand why An Rao has such a rich and powerful best friend and such an outstanding husband. Why has she always been happier than me?¡±

    Even though she was already doted on by Father An and Mother An, seeing that An Rao had a friend and a partner, she began to feel unbnced again. She felt as if she was always picking up things that An Rao did not want.

    ¡°What kind of boyfriend do you want? I can find one for you, okay? We don¡¯t care about An Rao¡¯s.¡± Mother An still doted on An Lin. Even at this point, she still wanted to win An Lin back.

    ¡°I want Bo Xiao. I don¡¯t want anyone else. Can you do it?¡± An Lin shouted into the phone, hysterical.

    ¡°Linlin, can you not be like this? How about this? Calm down first. If you like Bo Xiao so much, I¡¯ll discuss with An Rao and let her give Bo Xiao to you, okay?¡±

    An Lin scoffed. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a fool?¡±

    With that, An Lin hung up the phone, ignoring Mother An¡¯s screams.

    At this moment, upstairs, An Rao had already been handed to Bo Xiao by Xia Wanyuan.

    Bo Xiao, who had always been a little indecent, seemed very serious at this moment. He smiled at An Rao. ¡°Are you happy to marry me today?¡±

    An Rao nodded. It was clearly a festive moment, but she could not help but want to cry. ¡°I¡¯m especially happy.¡±

    Bo Xiao pulled An Rao forward.

    ording to the process, a priest had been arranged.

    However, An Rao felt that there was no need. Furthermore, Bo Xiao was a soldier. Soldiers did not do this.

    Bo Xiao knelt on one knee and took the diamond ring from the side. He held An Rao¡¯s hand and slowly put it on her.

    Then, Bo Xiao stood up. An Rao took the ring and put it on Bo Xiao¡¯s hand.

    ¡°I love you.¡± Bo Xiao kissed An Rao.

    Through the veil, he could see An Rao¡¯s bright eyes. She smiled. ¡°I love you very much too.¡±

    After the ceremony, the entire church was filled with cheers.

    In the basement, An Lin took out a lighter and lit the fuse of the gunpowder.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1196: Xiao Bao¡¯s Wife is Gone</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    At this moment, the church was filled with fireworks.

    Even though it was daytime, the fireworks around them illuminated the entire church.

    Amidst everyone¡¯s cheers, Bo Xiao lifted An Rao¡¯s veil and kissed her in public.

    Below the stage, Xia Wanyuan was quietly pping. Jun Shiling turned to look and panic appeared on his face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you crying?¡±

    Jun Shiling carefully wiped the tears from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re crying like this when others are getting married.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I feel like crying when I see this scene.¡±

    She was probably touched. After all, it had not been easy for An Rao and Bo Xiao toe this far.

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. Just as she was about to say something, a cry of surprise came from the stage.

    An Rao had fallen into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms while holding her stomach. The scene was chaotic, and everyone hurriedly called the hospital.

    Who would have thought that at this moment when the two of them had just finished their wedding, the child in An Rao¡¯s stomach was already moring toe out?

    Soon, the ambnce arrived. Bo Xiao apanied An Rao to the hospital. The remaining guests stayed here to continue the wedding banquet.

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan out. Halfway through, he received a call. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned slightly cold. ¡°Got it. Take her away.¡±

    Jun Shiling hung up the phone. Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°They caught An Lin in the basement.¡± Jun Shiling did not say much, but Xia Wanyuan could guess that An Lin would not do anything good.

    Now that An Rao was about to give birth, Xia Wanyuan did not want to care about these things. She got into the car and rushed to the hospital with Jun Shiling.

    At this moment, in the basement, An Lin had already been controlled by the special security guards. The person standing at the front was Xia Yu.

    ¡°How did you know?!¡± An Lin struggled but could not break free. ¡°I clearly got someone to turn off the surveince cameras.¡±

    Xia Yu chuckled. ¡°You think too highly of yourself.¡±

    An Lin¡¯s little trick had actually been seen through long ago. However, the surveince system had indeed been destroyed. Everyone had waited for so long to catch her alone.

    ¡°Let go of me!!¡± An Lin wanted to stand up, but she was pressed down by the security personnel and could only speak with her face pressed against the ground. ¡°What right do you have to arrest me?!! Let go of me, you¡¯ll die a horrible death!!¡±

    Xia Yu gave his subordinate a look. ¡°Alright, take her away.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu walked up to An Lin and looked down at her. Xia Yu had also heard about An Rao and An Lin. He shook his head. ¡°Should I say that you¡¯re pitiful or sad? It¡¯s clearly a bright path, but you walked it to a dead end.¡±

    To An Lin, she had been abandoned since she was young. She was just an unwanted little girl in the orphanage who had been brought home by Father An and Mother An.

    Not only did they provide her with good food and drinks, but they even doted on her more than their own daughter, An Rao.

    She clearly had a good hand in her hand, but because of her greed, she had lost everything.

    How could An Lin listen to Xia Yu now? She struggled crazily and looked at the gunpowder, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

    <i>Why?! Why is An Rao always so much happier than me?!</i>

    ¡°Transfer An Lin to the relevant department.¡± Xia Yu looked at the gunpowder around him. ¡°Get rid of these things.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After settling this, Xia Yu came out of the basement. At the entrance of the church, Xiao Bao was sitting obediently waiting for Xia Yu. Seeing Xia Yu walk over, Xiao Bao smiled and said, ¡°Uncle!¡±

    Xia Yu walked over. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going to the hospital with your parents?¡±

    Xiao Bao held Xia Yu¡¯s hand. ¡°Because Uncle is injured. I want to stay and take care of Uncle. I¡¯ll wait for you to go to the hospital.¡±

    Xia Yu felt that Xiao Bao was extremely cute. He rubbed Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°How obedient. Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡±

    With that, Xia Yu pulled Xiao Bao into the car, buckled him up, and started the car.

    Knowing that Xia Yu was driving, Xiao Bao yed with the doll on his clothes obediently and did not disturb Xia Yu.

    At a traffic light, Xiao Bao asionally looked up and saw Xia Yu looking into the distance in a daze. Xiao Bao followed Xia Yu¡¯s gaze.

    On the other side of the street, a couple was walking hand in hand.

    The green light had already lit up, but Xia Yu still seemed to be in a daze. Xiao Bao could not help but say, ¡°Uncle, the green light is on. What are you thinking?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu jumped out of his thoughts. ¡°Nothing.¡±

    Xia Yu stepped on the elerator and the car quickly left the street.

    On the street, Lin Qingdai was talking to Jiang Yun. Seeing her suddenly stop, he could not help but ask curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jiang Yun turned around and did not find anything unusual. She shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingdai nodded. ¡°What do you want to eatter? There¡¯s a local restaurant in the west city that¡¯s not bad. Do you want to try it?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingdai had a gentle personality, and Jiang Yun became much gentler when she interacted with him.

    When Xia Yu and Xiao Bao arrived, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were waiting at the door of the delivery room.

    Bo Xiao looked calm, but his palms were already sweating.

    The nurse walked out of the delivery room and Bo Xiao instantly shed over. ¡°Protect the mother!¡±

    The nurse did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°She hasn¡¯t given birth yet. I just came out to get something.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Bo Xiao retreated again.

    He was too anxious and could only walk to the safe passage and use the cigarette to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

    Xia Wanyuan was also a little nervous. Jun Shiling apanied her.

    Xiao Bao looked at Xia Yu. He seemed a little distracted. Xiao Bao reached into Xia Yu¡¯s palm. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    Xia Yu smiled and reached out to rub Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re so full of tricks.¡±

    After some time, the door to the delivery room opened and the doctor and nurse walked out. ¡°Alright, who¡¯s the father?¡±

    Bo Xiao quickly rushed over. ¡°I am!¡±

    ¡°Congrattions, mother and son are safe. He¡¯s a chubby boy!¡±

    Just as the doctor finished speaking, a nurse carried out a wrinkled child. The child¡¯s cries were especially high. One could tell that it was a healthy baby.

    Bo Xiao did not care about the child. He rushed straight into the delivery room to see An Rao, but the nurse did not stop him.

    The babynded in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. The baby, who had been crying, suddenly stopped crying when he saw Xia Wanyuan. He narrowed his eyes and looked at these unfamiliar humans in a daze.

    Xiao Bao leaned over to take a look and suddenly cried.

    ¡°Liar, didn¡¯t you say you were going to give me a wife? Why is she a younger sister?¡±

    In Xiao Bao¡¯s imagination, An Rao would definitely give birth to a delicate and soft sister. She would smile sweetly and be cute enough for him to touch her head.

    It was not this brother in front of him who looked wrinkled and not good-looking at all.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s dream of being a wife was shattered. He looked at his younger brother and felt even more bitter. His big eyes were swollen from crying. ¡°Mommy, can you let Auntie An Rao give birth again? I want a sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and wiped Xiao Bao¡¯s tears. ¡°If I had wanted a daughter back then and I stuffed you back and given birth again, would you have been sad?¡±

    Xiao Bao imagined himself in his shoes and felt that he might die of sadness. He looked at his wrinkled brother again.

    <i>Forget it, so what if he was a boy? If he was born again, this wrinkled little brother would definitely be very sad.?</i>

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xiao Bao quickly began to slowly ept this younger brother.

    <i>Maybe the younger brother can be very soft and cute!! As long as I treat the younger brother well, he will definitely be especially soft and sweet!!?</i>

    Xiao Bao secretly made up his mind to work hard towards a sweet younger brother!

    In the delivery room, An Rao was almost exhausted. She was lying on the bed and letting the nurse clean her up.

    Bo Xiao, who was always smiling, barged in. At this moment, his eyes were red. He held An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    An Rao held Bo Xiao back. ¡°Is it a daughter?¡±

    Bo Xiao kissed her on the forehead. ¡°It¡¯s a son. Let¡¯s have another daughter next time.¡±

    Regret shed across An Rao¡¯s eyes, but she liked both men and women. They were all flesh that had fallen off her body. ¡°I want to rest for a while. I¡¯m so tired.¡±

    Bo Xiao nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll apany you here.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, An Rao could not help but close her eyes.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan carried the baby in. ¡°Here, you¡¯re his father. Carry him too.¡±

    Even Xia Wanyuan found it a little strange. The child, who had been crying outside, was very quiet when he entered the ward, as if he was afraid of disturbing An Rao¡¯s sleep.

    Bo Xiao took the baby. The baby widened his eyes and waved his limbs at Bo Xiao foolishly.

    The newborn child was still very young and was only a little bigger than Bo Xiao¡¯s palm. Bo Xiao had never carried such a small creature before and was momentarily at a loss.

    He looked up. ¡°He¡¯s so ugly. Is he really my and An Rao¡¯s child?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°It¡¯ll be fine when he grows.¡±

    Outside the ward, after the younger brother left, Xiao Bao finally dared to ask the question he had been wanting to ask. ¡°Daddy, why is the younger brother so ugly?¡±

    <i>Auntie An Rao and Uncle Bo Xiao were clearly so good-looking!! If not for the fact that he hade from Auntie An Rao¡¯s stomach, I would not have acknowledged him as a younger brother.?</i>

    After all, in Xiao Bao¡¯s world, looks were justice.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao indifferently. ¡°You were even uglier than him when you were just born.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Impossible!!¡±

    <i>I¡¯m so good-looking!!! I¡¯m the cutest child in the world!!! Mommy said so!</i>

    Jun Shiling took out his phone and searched for it. Then, he drew a photo of Xiao Bao being born. He was wrinkled, dark, and ugly.

    Xiao Bao looked at the photo and was shocked.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Just as he was about to turn off his phone, Xiao Bao opened his ck grape-like eyes. ¡°Daddy, you even brought my childhood photos with you. I¡¯m so ugly, yet you still took photos. Do you love me so much?¡±

    Jun Shiling was caught off guard by Xiao Bao¡¯s question.

    Looking at Xiao Bao¡¯s bright eyes, Jun Shiling did not know what to say.

    Xiao Bao secretly smiled. ¡°Daddy, you don¡¯t have to pretend anymore. I know you like me very much. You even treasure such an ugly photo of me.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not retort. Xiao Bao stuffed his little hand into Jun Shiling¡¯s palm. ¡°Daddy, I like you very much too.¡±

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes as he picked Xiao Bao up. ¡°You¡¯re filled of tricks.¡±

    Xiao Bao kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek. ¡°Hehe.¡±

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan happened to walk out of the ward and saw such a loving scene.

    She was about to be relieved when Xiao Bao leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear and said something. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression immediately changed. ¡°No.¡±

    Xiao Bao puffed up his face. ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling rejected Xiao Bao firmly.

    Xiao Bao snorted softly, twisted off Jun Shiling, and ran to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. ¡°Mommy, Daddy is bad.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Go back first. I¡¯ll wait here.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded.

    Despising Xiao Bao for being in the way, Jun Shiling went to work and took him away.

    Xia Wanyuan went to the expert¡¯s office to ask for the details. When she left the office again, there was a person standing at the door.

    Xia Wanyuan immediately began to be on guard. She ced her hand on her phone and called Jun Shiling.

    Yu Qian nodded at Xia Wanyuan with a gentle smile on his face. ¡°Professor Xia, how have you been?¡±

    Dear readers!you are reading on our content stealing site.Please copy and search this link " https://bom.so/sBJMIa " to support us

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡±

    Yu Qian looked very calm. ¡°Nothing much. I just came to see you, Professor Xia.¡±

    The difort in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart intensified. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything you need to see from me.¡±

    Yu Qian was not angry and only smiled gently. ¡°As long as I think there is. Alright, Professor Xia, continue with your work. I¡¯m leaving.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned to leave without any hesitation, as if he had really onlye to see Xia Wanyuan.

    When Jun Shiling received the news, the secret guards immediately locked onto the hospital. However, what made them feel strange was that Yu Qian seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

    No one could find any traces of him.

    Bo Xiao apanied An Rao in the ward while Xia Yu waited outside with Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Xia Yu, why don¡¯t you go back first? You¡¯re still injured.¡± After sitting for a while, Xia Wanyuan spoke to Xia Yu, but she realized that Xia Yu was looking not far away in a daze.

    Xia Wanyuan followed Xia Yu¡¯s gaze and saw Jiang Yun walking with Lin Qingdai.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed softly in her heart. She ced her hand on the back of Xia Yu¡¯s. ¡°It¡¯s rare for you toe back. Is there anything you want to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±

    The sadness in Xia Yu¡¯s heart was washed away. He retracted his gaze and forced a smile. ¡°Sister, I like everything you make.¡±

    Worried that Xia Yu was in a bad mood, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu walked in the hospital garden.

    In just a short while, Xia Wanyuan had already heard at least three groups of people discussing Su Yueran and Director Charon¡¯s new movie.

    Xia Wanyuan had been too busy recently to pay attention to this.

    Justst night, Director Charon¡¯s new movie was released in Continent M.

    The movie was very sessful, and Su Yueran¡¯s role was even more popr.

    <h4>Chapter 1199: The Princess¡¯s Confidence Comes from Her Strength</h4>

    ¡°Did you buy a ticket for ¡®Starry Sky Journey¡¯? That ticket is so difficult to buy. I¡¯m convinced.¡±

    ¡°That ticket is hard to get. It¡¯s rare to have arge sci-fi movie. The cinema is full.¡±

    The passers-by were discussing Director Charon¡¯s new work, ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡±. Xia Wanyuan did not feel anything when she heard that. Other people¡¯s movies had nothing to do with her.

    However, although she did not care, theizens were worried.

    After all, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s images actually coincided. At that time, Director Charon was choosing a supporting role, and Xia Wanyuan had once auditioned but was rejected. Now that ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± was selling well, many people began to mention Xia Wanyuan openly and secretly.

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk. The global box office of ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± exceeded one billion on the first day it was released. This result is heaven-defying. Even if Su Yueran is only a supporting role in it, it¡¯s still considered her movie achievement. I feel that Su Yueran is about to ascend.]

    [ I wonder where the Xia Wanyuan who said that she doesn¡¯t care about Director Charon¡¯s movie is at this moment?? Hahaha, isn¡¯t she embarrassed? She¡¯s forcefully salvaging her dignity. In terms of movies, Su Yueran¡¯s results are still better. ]

    [Didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan build her own studio? I heard that it was specially made for her movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. Chinese movies, especially ancient movies, are really stretched. I advise her not to embarrass herself.]

    As ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± became popr, more and more people mentioned Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan.

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s interview on America¡¯s official television station and her extremely popr video every week, Xia Wanyuan was now very famous overseas.

    Now that the movie ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± had appeared, the mockery on the Inte was even more one-sided. Arge number of haters took the opportunity to mock Xia Wanyuan for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth and trying to challenge an internationally famous director.

    What followed was mockery of Chinese movies overseas. After all, in reality, no movie in China really led to the world.

    The Chineseizens were scolded badly, but they could not retort. They could only climb back behind the wall angrily and not argue with the fool.

    In the hospital, passers-by discussed the movie and mentioned Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan from time to time.

    When Xia Yu heard this, he frowned and was about to argue with someone else, but Xia Wanyuan pulled him back. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to argue about. The truth is more important than anything.¡±

    Xia Yu was indignant. ¡°They¡¯re talking nonsense. Sister, your movie is clearly better. I won¡¯t watch that ¡®Starry Sky Journey¡¯ even if you beat me to death.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu in amusement. ¡°Why can¡¯t you watch it? I¡¯m prepared to watch it too.¡±

    In her previous life, as the Queen Regent, Xia Wanyuan had a strong nationstic heart. She had deep feelings for the country she had ruled.

    However, this did not mean that she was narrow-minded and could not see the merits of others.

    To a monarch, narrow-mindedness and arrogance could destroy a country.

    Xia Yu was still a little unhappy. ¡°Then go and take a look. I¡¯m not watching anyway.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Alright, if you¡¯re not watching, let¡¯s go in and take a look at An Rao. Then, I have to go to work.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan into the ward. At that moment, An Rao was already awake and looking at her son with a frown. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yuan Yuan! Come quickly. Did you carry the wrong child? How can my son be so ugly!!¡±

    The wrinkled, dark, and thin girl in front of her was very different from the little angel she had imagined.

    ¡°He¡¯ll look better when you raise him,¡± Xia Wanyuan repeated helplessly for the third time.

    ¡°Aiya, I didn¡¯t have a daughter. Is Xiao Bao crying miserably? His wife is gone.¡± An Rao gently pinched her son¡¯s small hand. Immediately, a strange feeling connected to her heart.

    An Rao blinked and felt that it was amazing.?<i>I had really given birth to such a small creature that could cry andugh!</i>

    ¡°Yes, work harder.¡± Thinking of Xiao Bao¡¯s crying face, Xia Wanyuan found it a little funny. ¡°Rest first. I¡¯ll go back and visit you tonight.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± An Rao waved at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re so busy. You don¡¯t have to look after me every day. Bo Xiao will take care of me here.¡±

    Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan out of the hospital. After saying goodbye to Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu walked alone on the street.

    After staying in the desert for too long, Xia Yu was not used to the noise in the city.

    The sounds of cars, people, and vendors hurriedly brushed past his ear. Xia Yu still felt that it was a little unreal.

    ¡°Xia Yu, why are you here?¡± A smiling voice suddenly came from behind.

    Xia Yu turned around and his eyes lit up.

    It was Lin Yi.

    Lin Yi was already beautiful and young. When she was in the desert, she always wore a shirt and pants. Now that she was back in Beijing, she wore a chiffon dress and her hair was draped behind her head.

    Her smile was bright like the begonia in spring, blooming against the warm wind.

    ¡°I¡¯m walking around.¡± Xia Yu nodded at Lin Yi. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    ¡°My unit is over there. I¡¯m here to update my identification today.¡± Lin Yi pointed not far away. ¡°Since we met, do you remember telling me that you¡¯ll treat me to a meal when we return to Beijing?¡±

    Xia Yu smiled. ¡°No problem. Order whatever you want.¡±

    ¡°Then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Lin Yi¡¯s dimples appeared. She naturally pulled Xia Yu¡¯s arm and walked towards the street. ¡°I calcted that a few years ago, there was a shop here that cut mutton. The taste was really authentic. I wonder if it still exists. Let¡¯s go take a look.¡±

    The two of them chatted andughed as they walked into the alley.

    No one noticed that a ck car was parked at the corner of the street not far away. The light was green, but the car did not move forward. No matter how the horns behind it sounded, the ck car did not move.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to Qing University. Just as she entered the ssroom, she realized that Yu Qian was sitting in thest row.

    He was still sitting in the same position as before with a book spread out in front of him with a peaceful expression.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and retracted her gaze, then began to exin today¡¯s lesson.

    Yu Qian seemed to be listening very seriously. From time to time, he would stop and write a few words.

    After the ss, Xia Wanyuan stopped to wipe the ckboard. When she turned around, Yu Qian was no longer in thest row.

    Xia Wanyuan felt very ufortable. She packed her things and walked out, but she met the reporters who had been waiting at the door.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, everyone rushed forward. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, what do you think of the poprity of ¡®Starry Sky Journey¡¯? How¡¯s your preparation for your movie? Are you confident?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I¡¯m confident.¡±

    Then, the headline that the reporter turned to publish on the news was ¡°Xia Wanyuan is confident that her new movie will surpass ¡®Starry Sky Journey¡¯.¡±

 Chapter 1200 - Global Focus Movie Award

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    At this moment, ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± was at its most popr. The moment this news title appeared, it immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    [ Wow, although Xia Wanyuan is very amazing, isn¡¯t her tone a little too arrogant to surpass ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡±?? ]

    [That¡¯s something. I think even Director Charon doesn¡¯t dare to say this himself. Where did Xia Wanyuan get the courage to say such a thing?]

    [¡­ Although I¡¯m Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan, I also feel that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words are too arrogant. This is clearly impossible. ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± probably has a chance to rank in the top fifty box office in the history of world movies. How can it be surpassed?]

    In the studio, Chen Yun was speechless when he saw theizens¡¯ments. ¡°These reporters really don¡¯t cry until they see the Yellow River. They write nonsense all day long and don¡¯t even care about their lives for the poprity of the news.¡±

    Chen Yun was right. After these headlines were released, the reporter received awyer¡¯s letter from the Jun Corporation that day.

    The media came out to apologize and deleted the original news report.

    However, as the saying went, if one spread rumors, they would break their legs.

    At this moment, theizens did not care about the truth, let alone the foreignizens.

    In their opinion, the media¡¯s apology waspletely forced by the Jun Corporation.

    [Tsk tsk, China is indeed an oppressive country from top to bottom. The news media doesn¡¯t even have the freedom to speak.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is really disgusting. Do you think you can cover the sky just because your husband is the richest man? Unfortunately, the box office is not something you can buy yourself. No matter how rich you are, you can¡¯t buy global reputation. ]

    This matter had spread too widely.

    At that time, America¡¯s most famous Oscar Award was being held. Director Charon had also participated in the award ceremony with histest movie, ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡±.

    At this ceremony that was regarded as a hall by the international film industry, Chinese faces only appeared once or twice.

    Director Charon was a regr at this award ceremony.

    Hence, when the news reached the venue of the Oscar Award Ceremony, regardless of whether they knew Xia Wanyuan or not, they could not help butugh. ¡°Where did this ignorant little actresse from? How dare she speak so arrogantly?¡±

    Director Charon¡¯s ¡°Starry Journey¡± won the award for the best visual effect at this ceremony.

    Although it was still far from the best movie Director Charon wanted, it was not in vain.

    As he stood on the podium to give his eptance speech, Director Charon somehow thought of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Thank you for liking me and creating this movie. I¡¯ve met many interesting actors and I¡¯m very happy that my movie won an award. Here, I want to say to Miss Xia Wanyuan of China that I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡±

    After Director Charon finished speaking, the entire venueughed.

    The audience who knew the details exined to the surrounding people. Not long after, the entire venue knew that a Chinese actress had said that she could surpass Director Charon.

    Everyone smiled and shook their heads.<i>?She was really fearless and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.</i>

    As the most eye-catching film festival in the world, the Oscar Award naturally received the attention of Chineseizens.

    Watching everyone mock Xia Wanyuan and the Chinese movie, everyone felt indescribably ufortable.

    <h4>Chapter 1201: I¡¯ll fulfill your conditions</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    [Um, am I the only one who¡¯s sad watching this?? I feel so ufortable. Our country¡¯s movies haven¡¯t developed well because it¡¯s only been a short while. How many years have they been developing it? We¡¯ve only been around for a few decades. Is there a need to mock us?]

    [Sigh, what can we do? We just can¡¯tpare to them. However, Director Charon really disappointed me. I thought he was a great director, but from the looks of it, he¡¯s just like that. It¡¯s a little too much to humiliate Xia Wanyuan in front of the world.]

    [I bought tickets at first, but now I don¡¯t really want to watch¡­ This is too much. Do these people think they¡¯re especially amazing?]

    Instantly, controversy arose.

    The entertainment industry had nevercked fans fighting each other. Facing thesements that said they did not want to watch ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡±, Su Yueran¡¯s fans quickly jumped out.

    After all, the box office of this movie was Su Yueran¡¯s personal results.

    Both domestically and abroad were arguing, and the fans were also arguing.

    In a vi in Beijing, the manager was telling Su Yueran her schedule for the next few days.

    ¡°The movie is very sessful, so you¡¯ll have more activities in the next few days. It¡¯ll be hard on you, Yueran.¡± With that, the manager stood at the side and waited for Su Yueran¡¯s reply.

    She looked at Su Yueran¡¯s beautiful side profile and still found it unbelievable.

    Who would have thought that Su Yueran would go to Lin Xi and be the mistress of the Lin family? Her identity became extremely noble.

    Su Yueran, who already had excellent resources, was now invited by countless people.

    ¡°I understand. Go back first.¡± The movie was so sessful, but Su Yueran did not seem very happy. There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

    ¡°Okay, call me if you need anything,¡± the manager said and left the room.

    Just as the manager left, Su Yueran¡¯s phone rang. Su Yueran took a look and saw that it was Lin Qingyuan. She pressed the answer button and Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gentle voice came. ¡°Where are you?¡±

    ¡°Resting at home.¡±

    ¡°The movie is not bad.¡± Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea. ¡°Can you suppress Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie?¡±

    Su Yueran thought for a moment. ¡°Sure.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Lin Qingyuan replied. ¡°You can use the people in Beijing as long as you want to. I only want one oue, and that is that you be a superstar in China andpletely overshadow Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    As a family, they did not value such actors in the entertainment industry at all.

    Back then, when he sent Su Yueran into the entertainment industry, Lin Qingyuan had asked her to learn how to charm people.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance in the past two years had given Lin Qingyuan a different opinion.

    One good thing about the entertainment industry was that it was very easy to be famous and stand at the center of attention.

    Xia Wanyuan was also famous. Her fame actually had a huge national influence, and it could bring Jun Shiling huge help.

    Before this, Lin Qingyuan had never felt that an actress could have this much influence.

    Fortunately, Su Yueran had identally be his wife. How could he let Jun Shiling snatch such a good thing away?

    Su Yueran nodded. ¡°I understand. I will.¡±

    Only then was Lin Qingyuan slightly satisfied. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to promote your new movie for you. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±

    With that, Lin Qingyuan hung up.

    Su Yueran held her phone, but her eyes were dim.

    No one knew better than her what kind of person Lin Qingyuan was. After bing his wife, she would be his chess piece for the rest of her life.

    At the same time, many domestic news media began to take the initiative to help Su Yueran create the title of ¡°China¡¯s Movie Pearl¡±.

    Because Su Yueran was the only female celebrity who had participated in such an influential international movie in recent years.

    Furthermore, Su Yueran¡¯s next movie was also with an international director. This time, she was even the main character.

    ¡°What?¡± Lu Li was a little stunned by the overwhelming news of marketing Su Yueran. ¡°Her results are good, but she shouldn¡¯t have stepped on Sister Xia, right? Did Sister Xia provoke her?¡±

    Chen Yun turned off hisputer. ¡°Isn¡¯t this what the entertainment industry is like? Wanyuan is more famous than her, so she has topare with Wanyuan after achieving a little results to show her strength.¡±

    Lu Li nodded. ¡°Brother Chen, you make sense.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chen Yun walking out. Lu Li was a little curious. ¡°Brother Chen, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Go and see how the post-production special effects are doing.¡± Chen Yun waved at Lu Li. ¡°Stay here. I¡¯ll be back soon. If Wanyuanes back, tell her.¡±

    At this moment, the film production work area was not as orderly as usual. Instead, it was in a deadlock.

    ¡°Wang Ping, aren¡¯t you too unkind? You left just like that?¡± Everyone gathered in the hall. In the middle of the hall stood a gray-haired young man.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I already said that I have something on at home and can¡¯t continue. Is there a problem?¡± The gray-haired young man was Wang Ping. He was a little angry to be criticized by hispanions. ¡°What right do you have to control me?¡±

    ¡°Who are you lying to? It¡¯s clearly MH Company who came to poach you. You¡¯re running away.¡± A young man bluntly exposed the matter.

    After being exposed, an unnatural expression appeared on Wang Ping¡¯s face, but he quickly restrained it. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who said that I can¡¯t jump ship? There are so many foreigners in the studio. Didn¡¯t they all poach them from outside?¡±

    ¡°If you want to jump ship, then jump ship. No one will stop you.¡± At this point, someone was very angry. ¡°Can¡¯t you finish this project first before leaving?! At that time, when the missions were distributed, the tasks you had were all critical procedures. If you leave now, won¡¯t the entire project be paralyzed?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re ttering me.¡± Wang Ping looked a little smug. ¡°Would the project be paralyzed without me?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are you arguing?¡± Just as everyone was in a deadlock, Chen Yun walked in.

    Someone walked over and roughly told Chen Yun about this.

    Chen Yun looked at Wang Ping. ¡°Come, little brother, let¡¯s talk in the office.¡±

    Wang Ping followed Chen Yun into the office. Chen Yun opened the door and said, ¡°Is our treatment not enough for you?¡±

    Wang Ping¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡°What are you saying? I actually have something on and can¡¯t work for the time being.¡±

    Chen Yun frowned. Most of the work was done, and Wang Ping was one of the core people in charge of the project. If Wang Ping suddenly retreated, the entire project might really be paralyzed. ¡°What conditions do you have? Name them. We¡¯ll try to satisfy you.¡±

 Chapter 1202 - Quit

    <h4>Chapter 1202: Quit</h4>

    When Chen Yun spoke, he had been observing Wang Ping¡¯s reaction. When he mentioned treatment, he could see Wang Ping¡¯s eyes light up. Chen Yun roughly knew what was going on.

    Wang Ping hesitated for a moment but still shook his head. ¡°No, Brother Chen, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person? I really have something on at home and can¡¯t leave.¡±

    ¡°How about I double your sry?¡± Chen Yun went straight to the point andid out his conditions.

    Disdain shed across Wang Ping¡¯s eyes. ¡°Brother Chen, if it¡¯s not about money, I really can¡¯t do it anymore. I didn¡¯t sign a ve contract, right? You can¡¯t stop me from leaving.¡±

    ¡°Double? Triple?¡± Chen Yun asked again, but Wang Ping still insisted.

    !!

    This time, it was Chen Yun¡¯s turn to be surprised. If Wang Ping wanted to leave, it was nothing more than someone else giving him a higher price. However, there was no need to give such a high price. This was too ridiculous.

    ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go and settle the resignation process. Brother Chen, let¡¯s meet again if fate allows it.¡± With that, Wang Ping left the room without waiting for Chen Yun¡¯s response.

    Chen Yun thought for a moment and called Xia Wanyuan.

    After hearing Chen Yun¡¯s report, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°There¡¯s no need to stop him. There¡¯s no need to seal the news of his resignation.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun basically would not refute Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words now.

    Everyone saw that Wang Ping had been called in to talk by Chen Yun. Now that Wang Ping hade out, everyone was a little curious.

    ¡°Are you still leaving?¡±

    Wang Ping smiled smugly. ¡°I¡¯m leaving. Since you¡¯ve worked with me for so long, I¡¯ll say something heartfelt to you. I can¡¯t stay in this ce.¡±

    The others were a little unconvinced. ¡°That¡¯s not fair. The sry here is already high in the industry. The working environment is good, and the requirements are loose.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a person who had high requirements for efficiency, so working under her did not mean that they had to work overtime every day like other ces.

    Here, they strictly followed the eight-hour work system, and the sry, benefits, and all sorts of benefits were given properly. To be honest, after being in this industry for so many years, many people felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ce was really a very good studio.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Wang Ping sneered. ¡°Look at all of you useless people. Isn¡¯t it just not working overtime? It can mess you up like this. Do you know how much someone else¡¯s LS Studio gives me a month?¡±

    ¡°How much?¡±

    Wang Ping reached out and gestured a number. Immediately, some people¡¯s expressions changed. ¡°So high? Really?¡±

    Wang Ping walked forward smugly. ¡°Why would I lie to you? They said that as long as I go over, I¡¯ll immediately be the director. Alright, when I¡¯m hired, I¡¯ll treat everyone to a meal. I¡¯m going.¡±

    Under everyone¡¯splicated gazes, Wang Ping carried his things and left the studio.

    Not far away, Chen Yun looked at everyone¡¯s expressions and understood what Xia Wanyuan meant when she said that there was no need to seal the news.

    The news that Wang Ping had resigned and was poached with a high sry quickly spread in the studio.

    For a moment, people¡¯s hearts fluttered.

    The next day at work, three people came to resign. Chen Yun asked the person-in-charge to approve their application.

    These three people were quickly recruited by LS Studio. The sry was quite tempting.

    That afternoon, another ten people left one after another. Only when it was almost time to get off work did this phenomenon slowly disappear.

    <h4>Chapter 1203: The Princess Inspires Everyone</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Such arge-scale loss of personnel immediately attracted attention in the industry. The sudden appearance of LS Studio also became a hot topic in the industry.

    Looking at the constantly decreasing list of people, Chen Yun¡¯s heart ached a little. When he called Xia Wanyuan, he could not help but be speechless. ¡°The other party is too exaggerated. It¡¯s not reasonable to poach people at such a high price. I suspect that they¡¯re deliberately targeting our studio.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was drawing a design draft. ¡°It¡¯s such a high price. They won¡¯t go far.¡±

    High sries could indeed motivate people, but it was not suitable to have an abnormally high sry.

    ¡°Sigh, so many people have left. Our project has fallen.¡± Chen Yun sighed. ¡°A few core members have also left.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew how to govern the country and knew that long-term benefits were much more important than short-term benefits.

    Now that these people had left, the short-term pain was inevitable. However, in the long term, the studio had selected a group of loyal and down-to-earth employees.

    ¡°Then where should we find people to do it now?¡± Chen Yun was a little anxious.?<i>Such a huge project, and many of them were core technologies, where could we find someone in a short period of time?</i>

    ¡°After work, leave the employees in the studio. I¡¯ll go over.¡± Xia Wanyuan finished drawing a script in her hand and stood up.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan was about to leave when Jun Shiling happened to enter the living room after work. Seeing this, he stopped Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Where are you running to?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Stop fooling around. I want to go to the studio.¡±

    ¡°Then aren¡¯t you going to eat with me?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with bitterness. ¡°You¡¯re my wife, isn¡¯t this too much?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°Xiao Bao will apany you.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you,¡± Jun Shiling said and retracted his foot. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Helpless, Xia Wanyuan could only leave with Jun Shiling.

    Xiao Bao sat at the dining table and swayed his feet. He held his chin with both hands and drooled as he looked at the food on the table.

    After waiting for a long time, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling did note over. Xiao Bao looked back. ¡°Mommy? Daddy??¡±

    Uncle Wang walked over. ¡°Young Master, eat first. Your father and mother have something to do outside.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± When Xiao Bao spoke, his voice was filled with tears. His big eyes quickly filled with tears. ¡°They didn¡¯t bring me along or eat with me. Boohoo.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s tears fell one after another, making Uncle Wang¡¯s heart ache. Xiao Bao jumped off the chair and was about to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    Uncle Wang stopped Xiao Bao. ¡°Young Master, be good. They¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    Xiao Bao sobbed and did not speak. Uncle Wang picked up a piece of crispy pork ribs. ¡°Come, Little Master, try this.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not eating. Take it away.¡± Xiao Bao did not want to eat it at first, but when his tongue tasted the pork ribs, he was stunned. ¡°It tastes so good.¡±

    Xiao Bao bit into the pork ribs one by one. Uncle Wang smiled and stroked his hair, then gestured for the servant to scoop rice for him.

    Soon, Xiao Bao was lost in the delicious food and could not remember looking for Xia Wanyuan at all.

    In the car, they were almost at the studio when Xia Wanyuan suddenly eximed, ¡°Aiya, I forgot to tell Xiao Bao that I went out. He¡¯ll definitely cry.¡±

    Jun Shiling was not worried at all. ¡°He¡¯ll cry for a while at most. He¡¯ll stop when there¡¯s delicious food to feed him. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°You know quite a lot.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly.?<i>That little dumpling was just a foodie. I wonder who he took after. I and Xia Wanyuan are clearly not greedy people.</i>

    At the entrance of the studio, Chen Yun had been waiting for a long time.

    Seeing the car approaching, he wanted to go up and talk to Xia Wanyuan, but when he saw Jun Shiling, he instantly cowered.

    ia Wanyuan got out of the car and walked in. ¡°Is everyone inside?¡±

    ¡°Mm, they¡¯re all waiting for you in the meeting room.¡± Chen Yun nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t think any of the remaining people will want to leave.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Not long after, Xia Wanyuan walked to the meeting room door.

    In the meeting room, everyone was whispering. They were a little curious about Chen Yun¡¯s motive for suddenly asking them to stay behind. ¡°Are you here to stabilize the morale? I see that many colleagues have resigned today.¡±

    ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not leaving. I quite like thispany¡¯s culture. It¡¯s free and energetic, and the treatment is not bad. Although it can¡¯tpare to Wang Ping¡¯s sky-high reward, the boss isn¡¯t stupid. Is he going to poach him over with so much money and let him be idle?¡±

    At this moment, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened. Chen Yun walked in first, and everyone saw a woman in a light-colored dress appear at the door.

    This was basically the first time everyone had seen Xia Wanyuan in person. The impact of this beauty was almost crushing.

    Everyone watched intently as Xia Wanyuan walked onto the stage and sat at the table.

    It was as if Xia Wanyuan was born to sit high and mighty. When she sat there, everyone immediately felt the atmosphere be much more solemn.

    Xia Wanyuan took the microphone. ¡°I won¡¯t say much because it¡¯s after work. I just want to say a few words to everyone and ask you a question. Are you happy working here?¡±

    ¡°Happy.¡± This answer was everyone¡¯s true thoughts.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the people sitting in the meeting room. ¡°I¡¯m not painting a pie. I¡¯ll just say one thing. The more skills you have, the greater the stage I can provide. Many people have left recently, and everyone knows it.

    Now that everyone else is here, I want to ask everyone, can youplete the next mission? I hope everyone will consider it before telling me.¡±

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the meeting room was silent for a while. At this moment, a very young university student sitting in the corner stood up. ¡°I don¡¯t know how much I can do, but I promise to do my best.¡±

    As soon as one of them finished speaking, the other raised his hand.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡± ¡°I promise to devote myself!¡±

    Not long after, the atmosphere in the meeting room reached its peak. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with determination.

    A satisfied look shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Doing your best doesn¡¯t mean meaningless consumption. Get off work at the end of the day. During work hours, I hope to see you guys twisted together.¡±

    With the mental encouragement in ce, Xia Wanyuan spoke of material encouragement again. ¡°One-hundredth of the box office of ¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ is your bonus pool. When the timees, everyone will split it equally.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, everyone¡¯s cheers almost tore open the meeting room.

    Chen Yun was a little shocked.

    He could not help but think that if Xia Wanyuan went to do multi-level marketing, she would probably be able to be the leader there!!

    <h4>Chapter 1204: Infuriating Xiao Bao; Nickname</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    After saying this, Xia Wanyuan left. It took less than 30 minutes, but the atmosphere in the meeting room waspletely different.

    Almost all the staff¡¯s eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

    Social beasts were a joke that everyone made of themselves. However, when they first entered this industry, everyone still had the dream of making their own satisfactory works because they liked it.

    Now that this opportunity was really in front of them, the dream that everyone had put aside for a long time was ignited again.

    Xia Wanyuan left the meeting room. Jun Shiling was standing outside the door with a smile in his eyes. ¡°CEO Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Cut it out.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and left with her.

    Chen Yun watched silently from behind. Although he was old, sometimes, he could not help but feel choked by their dog food.

    The romance in Chen Yun¡¯s heart was aroused a little. He took out his phone and called his wife. ¡°Wifey.¡±

    ¡°Why? You¡¯re noting back because you¡¯re working overtime again tonight? Alright, I didn¡¯t leave any food for you anyway. I was teaching the child his homework. The child must have inherited your intelligence. I¡¯m so angry that I want to hit him.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The romantic deer in Chen Yun¡¯s heart fell to his death. ¡°Bullsh*t, my IQ is very high. Alright, let¡¯s not talk anymore. I¡¯ll be backter. I¡¯ll buy my own battery and go back.¡±

    ¡°Bring me some barbecue. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±

    Chen Yun shook his head and walked out.<i>?We were an old couple. As expected, we could not be romantic.</i>

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor. The moment she entered, Xiao Bao ran over with tears in his eyes. ¡°Mommy, where did you go? I¡¯ve been looking for you!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kissed him on the cheek. ¡°I have something to do.¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, it¡¯s all Daddy¡¯s fault.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling red at Xiao Bao.?<i>What did it have to do with me?</i>

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go eat,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she pulled Xiao Bao¡¯s hand towards the dining table.

    Xiao Bao stopped crying in embarrassment and scratched his head. ¡°Mommy, I finished eating just now. I¡¯m so full. I can¡¯t eat anymore.¡±

    ¡°Then why do you still miss her? I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve forgotten about your parents when you¡¯re eating.¡± Jun Shiling added.

    Xiao Bao felt embarrassed. He pouted and looked at Jun Shiling with his big eyes. ¡°No!¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly.

    Xiao Bao pounced on Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re the worst!!! You¡¯re so annoying!!¡±

    Xiao Bao waved his little fists and grabbed Jun Shiling¡¯s leg. Jun Shiling picked him up. Xiao Bao¡¯s leg fluttered in midair, his big eyes filled with usation.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and shook her head. She ignored the father and son and walked to the dining table to eat.

    In the living room, Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck tightly, his eyes shining with anger. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re too much. You destroyed my image in Mommy¡¯s heart!!¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°What image do you have? Do you think others don¡¯t know your image as a foodie?¡±

    Xiao Bao pouted. ¡°I don¡¯t!!!¡±

    Jun Shiling did not even want to argue with him. ¡°Go down. I¡¯m going to eat.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling and did not let go.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao¡¯s angry face and reached out to pinch it.?<i>It felt good.?</i>

    ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re not allowed to pinch me.¡± Xiao Bao was still brooding over Jun Shiling destroying his image.

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you salvage your image, okay?¡±

    ¡°How?¡± Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling distrustfully.

    In Xiao Bao¡¯s opinion, Jun Shiling wanted to snatch Xia Wanyuan away every day and bully him.

    Jun Shiling whispered something into Xiao Bao¡¯s ear, and Xiao Bao finally struggled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°Then Daddy, put me down. I¡¯m going up to do my homework.¡±

    Getting out of Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, Xiao Bao ran to the dining table and waved at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan bent down slightly and Xiao Bao kissed her. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ll go up first. Love you!!¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao gestured to Xia Wanyuan, then turned and ran upstairs.

    Jun Shiling walked over and took the chopsticks to eat slowly. Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Why are you always making him angry? You¡¯re an adult, yet you¡¯re arguing with a child.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling actually liked Xiao Bao very much, but he always liked to make Xiao Bao angry.

    ¡°Because I¡¯m a child too.¡± Jun Shiling was very righteous.

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan paused and gently kicked Jun Shiling under the table.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Alright, eat quickly. I still have something to tell you tonight.¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you tonight.¡± Jun Shiling was mysterious.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing Hospital, Bo Xiao was sitting by the bed and tickling his son.

    He looked around and still felt that his son was too ugly. ¡°I haven¡¯t thought of a proper name yet, but I gave him a nickname.¡±

    An Rao turned around. ¡°What nickname?¡±

    ¡°Just call him Little ckie. This dark and ugly child is toopatible.¡± Bo Xiao looked at the child in his arms in disdain.

    The child in his arms seemed to have sensed his father¡¯s disdain and was about to cry. Bo Xiao frowned and red at him. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. If you dare to cry, change your nickname to Ugly.¡±

    When he said this, it was unknown if the little child understood. He opened his mouth but did not cry in the end.

    Only then was Bo Xiao satisfied. ¡°At least you¡¯re sensible. Alright, Little ckie, go to sleep. Your father is going to serve your mother.¡±

    Hence, just like that, the nickname of Young Master Bo, who would dominate the capital more than ten yearster with his dissolute appearance, was decided.

    No one had expected that Young Master Bo, who had swept the capital with his face, would actually have a nickname, Little ckie.

    However, at that time, other than the young master of the Jun family, no one dared to call him that even if they knew about Young Master Bo¡¯s history.

    Perhaps it was really a magical connection between father and son. After Bo Xiao finished speaking, the child fell asleep.

    Bo Xiao turned around in satisfaction and blinked at An Rao. ¡°Do you see that? Hubby is still the best, right? Look at this kid. He¡¯s so obedient.¡±

    An Rao also felt that it was strange, but on second thought, ¡°It must be because you often read stories to him when I was pregnant. He recognized your voice.¡±

    Bo Xiao looked at the child in disdain, but he was actually a very responsible father. When An Rao was pregnant, Bo Xiao apanied her 24 hours a day and gave the child prenatal education.

    Speaking of this, Bo Xiao was a little proud. ¡°Of course. I¡¯m his father. If he doesn¡¯t acknowledge me, who will he acknowledge?¡±

    Ever since LS Studio poached arge number of talents from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio, the industry had been curious about who was behind this studio and had such power.

    Soon, the truth was ced in front of everyone.

    When Su Yueran attended a press conference, she was interviewed by reporters and announced that the studio was about to develop her movie. She would also be a movie director and direct it personally.

    Facing the reporters¡¯ questioning if she was ready, Su Yueran smiled. ¡°I¡¯m already prepared. The LS studio we prepared has officially begun to face the market. Thank you for your concern.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, an awkward atmosphere appeared at the entire press conference. After all, the matter of LS Studio snatching people away was not small. It seemed that Su Yueran was going to openly challenge Xia Wanyuan??

 Chapter 1205 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 1205: Untitled</h4>

    However, on second thought, the current Su Yueran was not the same as before.

    Her identity had already been exposed. Su Yueran was the daughter of the Wei family in Jiangnan, and now, Su Yueran was still the mistress of the Lin family.

    In fact, in terms of status, Su Yueran was on par with Xia Wanyuan.

    However, in terms of national poprity, Su Yueran was still inferior to Xia Wanyuan.

    When Chen Yun saw that it was Su Yueran who had snatched the people from their studio, he was furious. ¡°They¡¯re really despicable. This Su Yueran too. I wonder why she likes to target Wanyuan so much.¡±

    !!

    Lu Li squatted at the side and ate a mouthful of apple. ¡°Probably because of jealousy?¡±

    Chen Yun did not understand the twists and turns between girls. ¡°What jealousy? Su Yueran has a good family background and married even better. What¡¯s there to be jealous about?¡±

    <i>If an average person had her status, they wouldugh to death. How could she have the time to be jealous of others?</i>

    Lu Li shook her head. ¡°Brother Chen, you don¡¯t know much about women.¡±

    A woman like Su Yueran already belonged to the top of the pyramid. To women who already had a strong sense of jealousy, how could she tolerate another person standing in the same position as her?

    Chen Yun did not want to understand these people¡¯s thoughts. He looked at Lu Li. ¡°Eat quickly. After eating, prepare to carry out the next project.¡±

    Lu Li bit off the apple in a few bites. ¡°What project??¡±

    ¡°Wanyuan¡¯s concert.¡± Chen Yun printed out a document. ¡°We should have done thisst year, but aren¡¯t there too many things?¡±

    Actually, if one were to calcte carefully, Xia Wanyuan had only released one album until now. However, her results were too good, causing the cheers for Xia Wanyuan to hold concerts after that album was released to be higher and higher.

    However, he had no choice. Xia Wanyuan was too busy, so busy that she could not find time at all. Now that he had some time, Chen Yun prepared to put this matter on the agenda.

    ¡°Brother Chen.¡± Lu Li leaned over. ¡°Can you reveal where you¡¯re preparing to have it this time?¡±

    Lu Li had never seen a concert before. Thinking that she was actually in charge of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert this time, she was immediately very excited. Thinking that she could upy the best position to listen to Xia Wanyuan sing, it felt too good!

    ¡°Ask Wanyuan. I don¡¯t know.¡± Chen Yun waved his hand. ¡°Alright, go and prepare.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    At Qing University, Xia Wanyuan was attending sses as usual. When she passed by the Qing University campus, she was stopped by someone.

    ¡°Professor Xia.¡± It was Yu Qian. He had a faint smile as usual.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ever since she met Yu Qianst time, Xia Wanyuan had gotten someone to investigate Yu Qian¡¯s background. However, the results showed that Yu Qian was a very ordinary businessman.

    Back then, he was abducted and sold abroad. He was lucky to be saved by the police overseas. Later on, he was adopted by a couple from America. After graduating from university, he returned to China to reunite with Wei Zimu.

    There were all sorts of evidence and witnesses along the way.

    But even so, Xia Wanyuan still felt that Yu Qian was a strange person.

    ¡°This is for you.¡± Yu Qian handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°What is this?¡±

    Yu Qian smiled. ¡°Is there a need to be so wary of me? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done anything to hurt you, Professor Xia.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t like to ept other people¡¯s things.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not affected by Yu Qian¡¯s provocation at all.

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Yu Qian put the things back. ¡°My brother misses Professor Xia very much. If there¡¯s a chance, Professor Xia, do call him.¡±

    ¡°Wei Zimu?¡±

    Yu Qian nodded. ¡°Professor Xia, you haven¡¯t forgotten him, right?¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡±

    Yu Qian smiled and took a step forward. ¡°I¡¯ve always liked Professor Xia¡¯s sses. I¡¯m here on a business trip and I¡¯m leaving soon.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood quietly, not affected by Yu Qian. ¡°You can listen in the ssroom.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together?¡± Yu Qian invited Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No need. There will be rumors.¡± Xia Wanyuan rejected him directly.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Alright then.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned around and walked towards the ssroom.

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s tall back, Xia Wanyuan frowned inexplicably. She felt that Yu Qian gave off a bad feeling.

    It was already time. Xia Wanyuan tidied up her things and went to ss.

    After the lesson, the first row, where Feng Wuyou usually sat, was still empty.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little strange.

    Last night, Feng Wuyou had even specially sent her a WeChat message, saying that she wanted toe and listen to her lecture and asked Xia Wanyuan to save a seat for her.

    What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that at this moment, in the Beijing Hotel, Feng Wuyou was blocked in her room by a group of people.

    ¡°Miss, you¡¯ve had enough fun. It¡¯s time to go back, right??¡±

    Feng Wuyou looked at the familiar faces in front of her with resistance. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back.¡±

    ¡°Miss, the wedding date ising. It¡¯s not up to you to say that you don¡¯t want to go back.¡± The Feng family¡¯s butler bowed respectfully to Feng Wuyou, but his words were filled with an order.

    ¡°No.¡± Feng Wuyou ced her hand behind her back and wanted to call Xuan Sheng.

    With a nce from the butler, the bodyguards behind him stepped forward and snatched Feng Wuyou¡¯s phone away.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Missy. Please understand. We have a mission too.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the butler gestured for the bodyguards to take Feng Wuyou away.

    With so many people in front, Feng Wuyou knew that struggling was useless. She stood up. ¡°Give me half an hour. I¡¯ll see someone and leave.¡±

    ¡°Missy.¡± The butler was unwilling toplicate matters.

    ¡°Butler.¡± Feng Wuyou¡¯s expression suddenly became serious. ¡°I know you¡¯ve already set up an inescapable. Don¡¯t tell me you think I can still escape now?¡±

    ¡°Miss, Master¡¯s orders are for us to bring you back immediately. Please understand.¡±

    ¡°Butler.¡± Feng Wuyou smiled. ¡°I¡¯m the eldest daughter of the Feng family. No matter how angry my father is at me, I¡¯m still the eldest daughter of the Feng family. You can think carefully if you want to offend me.¡±

    Feng Wuyou¡¯s words stunned the butler. He thought for a while and finallypromised. ¡°We¡¯ll leave in half an hour.¡±

    With that, the butler left the room with the bodyguards and waited outside.

    Only then did Feng Wuyou pick up her phone and call Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I¡¯m in a meeting.¡±

    ¡°The people my father sent are here. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Feng Wuyou sat on the sofa with disappointment in her eyes. ¡°Sigh, I couldn¡¯t have a good time.¡±

    Xuan Sheng stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll look for you now.¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Feng Wuyou rejected. ¡°CEO Xuan, you said long ago that this is actually a fate I can¡¯t escape. There¡¯s no need. Even if I can stay for two days, I will still be captured by my family in the end.¡±

    After all, the Feng family¡¯s power was spread all over the world.?<i>If I could escape today, could I escape tomorrow??</i>

    ¡°Then take care,¡± Xuan Sheng finally said.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Feng Wuyou called Chu Yi again.

    Chu Yi¡¯s side sounded very noisy. ¡°Wuyou, why did you call me?¡±

    Feng Wuyou thought for a while and finally decided not to leave Chu Yi with hope. ¡°Let¡¯s break up.¡±

    Chu Yi frowned and walked to a quiet ce. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Feng Wuyou held back her tears and was extremely sad. ¡°I was just ying with you. I don¡¯t like people like you at all. I just wanted to use money to support you for a few days. I¡¯m hanging up. I have a new lover.¡±

    With that, before Chu Yi could reply, Feng Wuyou hung up and cried in the hotel.

    On the other hand, it waspletely different from what Feng Wuyou had imagined. Chu Yi was not sad. He was just thinking that the Feng family had arrived in China so quickly.

    In the hotel, Feng Wuyou cried loudly. As she cried, she imagined the melodramatic dramas she had watched recently.

    She felt that she was like those bitter female leads in television dramas who had been broken up. When she returned to the Feng family, she would marry someone she did not love.

    And if Chu Yi was heartbroken here, he might even die for her.

    <i>Courting death??</i>

    <i>Thinking of this, Feng Wuyou shivered. No, I can¡¯t let Chu Yi die for me.?</i>

    Hence, Feng Wuyou dragged Chu Yi¡¯s number out of the cklist and sent him a message. ¡°Don¡¯t do anything stupid. Anyway, the two of us are already over. Don¡¯t be stubborn.¡±

    After the message was sent, Feng Wuyou blocked Chu Yi again.

    When Feng Wuyou left the room again, her eyes were already swollen like walnuts.

    ¡°Miss, let¡¯s go.¡± The butler lowered his head respectfully.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Feng Wuyou walked out with a hopeless expression, imagining countless miserable stories in her heart.

    On the other hand, Chu Yi was lying leisurely on the sofa.

    ¡°Young Master, the wedding date ising. Old Master wants you toe back early.¡± A call from Continent F was on Chu Yi¡¯s phone.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll be back in two days.¡±

    ¡°Okay, the Feng family will send someone over to discuss the wedding in the next two days.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± With that, Chu Yi hung up the phone. The first page of the phone was Feng Wuyou¡¯s smiling face.

    Looking at the wallpaper on his phone, a smile shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Tsk, I¡¯m going to marry a little fool.¡±

    With that, Chu Yi stood up and began to pack his things.

    ¡ª¡ª

    An Rao¡¯s body had recovered very well and she could be discharged today. Bo Xiao carried the little kid with one hand and held An Rao¡¯s hand with the other as they walked out.

    Xiao Bao jumped around but did not see his brother. ¡°Uncle Bo Xiao, can you let me carry my brother? I promise I won¡¯t hurt him.¡±

    Xiao Bao was only a four or five-year-old child. The nurse stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t. The child is weak. Don¡¯t drop him.¡±

    Xiao Bao lowered his head in disappointment. ¡°Alright then.¡±

    Bo Xiao nced at Xiao Bao and waved at him. ¡°Xiao Bao,e here. You can carry him. Remember not to drop him.¡±

    Xiao Bao looked up with sparkling eyes. ¡°Mm!¡±

    He took the baby from Bo Xiao. The baby was still young and was not as long as Xiao Bao¡¯s arm. Xiao Bao hugged him, but the child did not cry or make a fuss. He only looked at Xiao Bao with a pair of big eyes.

    Xiao Bao hugged his brother carefully. ¡°Although you¡¯re ugly, your eyes are so beautiful.¡±

    It was like the gxy in the sky, pure and dazzling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao. ¡°Be careful on the road. Don¡¯t drop him.¡±

    Xiao Bao nodded and walked especially slowly. As he walked, he looked at his younger brother.

    Although he had always wanted a sister, now that he was hugging his little brother, Xiao Bao felt that his little brother was not bad and was still quite cute.

    Xiao Bao smiled at his younger brother, his big eyes curved up. Perhaps sensing the kindness from this brother, the younger brother in his arms actually waved his little hand a few times and the corners of his lips curled up, as if in response to Xiao Bao¡¯s smile.

    Xiao Bao was stunned.

    <i>I¡¯m announcing that all the toys had to be behind this younger brother! My younger brother is the cutest in the world!!?</i>

    Xiao Bao walked carefully and protected his brother well the entire way. When Bo Xiao and An Rao carried the child upstairs, Xiao Bao leaned against the car window and looked pitifully with red eyes.

    ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Jun Shiling nced at him. ¡°A man shouldn¡¯t cry.¡±

    <i>This way of crying was really not like my son</i>.

    Xiao Bao pouted. ¡°I can¡¯t bear to part with my younger brother. Daddy, can you do it? Uncle Bo Xiao can give birth to a younger brother so quickly. Why haven¡¯t you given birth to one for me?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xiao Bao over. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Xiao Bao snorted and was very unconvinced. ¡°Daddy, you disappoint me too much.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s palm itched. He clenched his fists and waved them in front of Xiao Bao. ¡°Do you see what this is?¡±

    Xiao Bao wrapped his two small hands around Jun Shiling¡¯s fists. ¡°I see it. This is Daddy¡¯s love for me.¡±

    Jun Shiling turned his head away. He really did not want to endure it anymore. If not for the fact that he was afraid of sleeping in the living room at night, he would have beaten Xiao Bao up now.

    Xiao Bao climbed onto Jun Shiling¡¯sp and sat down. He hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Daddy, if you give birth to a sister for me, when you¡¯re old in the future, I¡¯ll definitely be filial to you and buy you wine every day.¡±

    ¡°If I don¡¯t give you a sister, are you not going to be filial to me?¡± Jun Shiling pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s soft face.<i>?This brat.</i>

    Xiao Bao thought about it seriously. His big eyes were round and filled with smiles. ¡°No, I¡¯ll buy you a bottle of wine at most, but I¡¯ll still be very filial to you, hehe.¡±

    <i>Although Daddy was a bad person, he was a little bad person. A little bad person would always love a big bad person.</i>

    Jun Shiling smiled and reached out to pinch Xiao Bao¡¯s round face again. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to eat chicken wings tonight. Look at your face.¡±

    Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks. ¡°Mommy said that I¡¯m the cutest. She likes to rub my face like this the most. If I eat too little, Mommy won¡¯t be happy enough when she rubs my face.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao. He wondered who he had taken after with this mischievous look.

    Back at the manor, Xia Wanyuan was still working in the study. Jun Shiling put Xiao Bao down. ¡°Wash your hands yourself. I¡¯ll call your mother down for dinner.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently.

    When Jun Shiling entered the study, there were already many design drafts in front of Xia Wanyuan. There were all sorts of clothes.

    ¡°What are you drawing?¡± Jun Shiling wanted to walk over.

    ¡°Stop, don¡¯te over.¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°I have manuscripts here. Don¡¯te over. You¡¯ll step on themter.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Baby, you despise me.¡± Jun Shiling stood rooted to the ground helplessly.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm, I despise you.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Are you eating? You can¡¯t despise food, right?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯lle after I finish this.¡± With that, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and studied the script in her hand.

    Jun Shiling did not move. He stood rooted to the ground and watched Xia Wanyuan draw the design draft.

    About five minutester, Xia Wanyuan put down the pen in her hand, then carefully walked around the pile of manuscripts and walked towards the door.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, an arm reached out from her waist. Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and covered her red lips. He only retreated after a while.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°You¡¯re fooling around again.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan straighten up and pulled her downstairs.

    He just felt that Xia Wanyuan looked too good when she was working seriously.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was very handsome when he was working seriously, Jun Shiling was also charmed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s serious work.

    Downstairs, after not seeing the two of them downstairs for a long time, Xiao Bao could not help but secretly take a chicken wing. Halfway through eating, footsteps came from behind.

    Xiao Bao hurriedly covered his mouth and chewed on the chicken wings in his mouth.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your mouth?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Xiao Bao in confusion. ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡±

    Jun Shiling took a look and snorted softly. ¡°He stole a chicken wing. What else?¡±

    Xiao Bao widened his eyes and looked at Jun Shiling.?<i>Daddy is annoying and ruined my obedient image in Mommy¡¯s heart.?</i>

    Xiao Bao decided to buy one less bottle of wine for Jun Shiling!!

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Xiao Bao in amusement. ¡°Eat slowly. No one is criticizing you. If your father scolds you, I¡¯ll help you scold him.¡±

    Only then did Xiao Bao put down his hand and lean towards Xia Wanyuan. He smiled at her as he ate the chicken wings happily.

    Jun Shiling, who had been ignored, expressed that his hands were itchy and he wanted to beat someone up.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan coaxed Xiao Bao to sleep and returned to the study to continue drawing the design draft.

    Jun Shiling walked over and took a look. ¡°Why are you suddenly drawing so much? Are you holding a fashion exhibition?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion press conference this year is about to begin. I¡¯m rushing the script.¡±

    ¡°These don¡¯t look like clothes for the press conference.¡± Jun Shiling casually flipped through a few manuscripts.

    The clothes on these manuscripts seemed to be reproducing all sorts of clothes in Chinese history. However, Xia Wanyuan had added many new highlights to these clothes and they looked even better.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do both together.¡± Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°Xiu Yi¡¯s press conference this year should attract a lot of attention. I want to take this opportunity to show off China¡¯s clothes.¡±

    Thest time she participated in an interview program in America, through that Han person¡¯s questions and the reactions of the people present, Xia Wanyuan realized that foreign countries did not know much about Chinese clothing.

    At that time, everyone present was a highly educated person in America. They were not ignorant people. Even they knew so little about Chinese clothes, let alone other ordinary people. They probably thought that the Chinese were wearing dark green suits from decades ago.

    Perhaps it was because there was really very little publicity to the outside world, and in addition to some ulterior motives, China clearly had so many beautiful traditional clothes, but no one had ever understood them.

    There were even Han people who modified China¡¯s traditional clothes and announced to the public that this was their country¡¯s traditional clothes.

    The Chineseizens were furious, but there was nothing they could do. They could only repost various traditional Chinese clothes on the Inte countless times, wanting everyone to understand more.

    It was not that Xia Wanyuan had to argue with others, but the arrogance in her heart could not be erased.

    She wanted to let others see how many types of traditional Chinese clothes there were through her, and how unique and beautiful each one was.

    Jun Shiling paused in his actions and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. She looked very serious as she lowered her head to draw. Her curled eyshes blinked, making his heart itch slightly.

    ¡°You must have been a good monarch back then,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. ¡°Why do you say that?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak anymore and looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly.

    Through the warm light, Jun Shiling seemed to see Xia Wanyuan, who had sat on the throne a thousand years ago and protected her people under her wings.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly drew while Jun Shiling sat by her side. It was onlyte at night that the two of them returned to the bedroom together.

    As Xia Wanyuan had expected, the news of Xiu Yi holding a summer fashion press conference quickly attracted international and domestic reports.

    Internationally, Xia Wanyuan was a Gold Award winner in the designpetition. In addition to the recent events, there were many controversies about her. Whether they were from the fashion industry or not, they were all interested in her press conference.

    In China, as the only brand in China that had achieved proud results internationally, Xiu Yi naturally received everyone¡¯s enthusiastic attention. In addition, Xia Wanyuan was extremely famous.

    This news was on the trending list for two days and two nights before it went down.

 Chapter 1207 - High-end Technology

    1207 High-end Technology

    What was as popr as Xiu Yi''s uing fashion press conference was the news that Camellia Company was also holding a fashion press conference. And Camellia''s global design this time was handed over to Zou Man.

    In the Jiang family''s vi, Zou Man was sitting opposite Liu Tanyu. The two of them ignored each other.

    Father Jiang returned to the vi from thepany. The moment he entered, he saw this scene that gave him a headache. Father Jiang looked at Jiang Kui. "Come with me."

    Jiang Kui let go of his son''s hand and followed Father Jiang into the study.

    The moment he entered, Father Jiang threw the documents in his hand at Jiang Kui. "You sure know how to enjoy yourself. You even have two women. How are outsiders going to look at our Jiang family?!"

    "Father." Jiang Kui was also in a difficult position. "But Zou Man was officially married to me, and Liu Tanyu is Xiao Yu''s mother. Look at this¡­"

    Father. Jiang was so angry that his head hurt. "I don''t care about this. Hurry up and settle it for me. Do you want to have a concubine?"

    "No." Jiang Kuiughed dryly. "Father, you must be joking."

    "Get out. All of you don''t give me any peace of mind." Mr. Jiang waved his hand, looking like he did not want to see Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui retreated and Liu Tanyu walked over with a fruit te. "Ah Kui, I''ve washed the fruit. Try it."

    Jiang Kui tasted a cherry. "Mm, it''s quite sweet."

    Liu Tanyu smiled gently. "As long as you like it."

    Not far away, Zou Man looked up with disdain in her eyes. "Jiang Kui, the person in charge of Camellia''s fashion press conference asked me to ask you a few questions."

    Hearing this, Jiang Kui became excited. He walked towards Zou Man. "Let''s go upstairs and talk."

    "Mm." Zou Man put down the things in her hand and handed her hand to Jiang Kui. Jiang Kui pulled her away.

    After taking a few steps, Zou Man turned around and looked at Liu Tanyu with a mocking smile.

    Watching them leave, Liu Tanyu''s face was filled with reluctance.

    Xiao Yu shook Liu Tanyu''s sleeve. "Mommy, why isn''t Daddy apanying us?"

    Liu Tanyu gritted her teeth. "He''ll apany us. Little Yu, don''t be anxious."

    With that, Liu Tanyu squatted down and stroked Xiao Yu''s head. Thinking of how Father Jiang had just called Jiang Kui in, she could guess that Father Jiang definitely wanted Jiang Kui to make a decision.

    In that case, there could only be one person left between her and Zou Man.

    Thinking of the fashion press conference Zou Man had just mentioned, Liu Tanyu thought of someone, Xia Wanyuan.

    Zou Man and Xia Wanyuan had always had conflicts. If she could have Xia Wanyuan''s help, the position of the mistress of the Jiang family would definitely be hers.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The temperature rose day by day, and the entire capital became prosperous.

    The entire manor was arranged into a sea of flowers.

    Today, An Rao and Bo Xiao came to the manor with the little baby that had grown for a few days. Bo Xiao flipped through the dictionary at home for a few days and finally decided to name this little baby Bo Qingli.

    When Xiao Bao leaned over to look at the child, his eyes widened in shock.

    "Mommy, has Brother be fairer?" Xiao Bao gently poked Little Qingli''s hand with his little finger. The more he looked at his brother''s face, the cuter he felt.

    "Mm, the child will look very good when he grows up." Xia Wanyuan ced a golden lock in front of Little Qingli.

    Xiao Bao blinked. "Will Brother look as cute and good-looking as me in two days??"

    Jun Shiling suddenly said, "He''s better looking than you."

    Xiao Bao turned around angrily. "Daddy, you''re talking nonsense!! I''m the cutest!!"

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and ignored Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao was extremely aggrieved and looked pitifully at Xia Wanyuan. "Mommy."

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling in amusement. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan''s hand.

    This child was already narcissistic enough. If he did not hold back, Xiao Bao''s tail would be wagging.

    Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks and turned around. Only my younger brother is cute. What father? Hmph!

    An Rao could already move normally. She held Xia Wanyuan''s arm. "Sister, I heard that you''re going to hold a fashion press conference. Do you think I can be your model??"

    "Of course." Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    "Really? Then I want to choose my own clothes!!"

    "Okay." With that, Xia Wanyuan brought An Rao upstairs. The two of them chose the design of various clothes in the study.

    especially meticulous.

    Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao sat by the window and drank tea.

    "Have you considered the question I asked youst time?" Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao.

    "Mm." Bo Xiao nodded. "I still insist on the answer at that time."

    Bo Xiao seemed to not dare to look back at Jun Shiling. He looked at the garden outside the window with a dark expression.

    "Alright, since you''re unwilling toe back, I won''t force you." Jun Shiling nodded. "What do you n to do in the future?"

    Only then did Bo Xiao turn to look at Jun Shiling. "I don''t know yet. Stay at home with An Rao and the child first. I only know now that being a father feels so magical."

    This was the first time in his life, but it made him extremely infatuated with this feeling. Every time he saw that small creature, Bo Xiao felt a warmth from the bottom of his heart.

    Such a small baby was the product of his and An Rao''s love.

    Bo Xiao insisted on retiring, so the two of them changed the topic and tried their best to avoid talking about this.

    An Rao flipped through the design draft in the study and eximed.

    Xia Wanyuan walked out to take a breather and stood in the corridor to look down.

    The spring was just right. There was hope for new life in this world. There were flowers everywhere, loved ones, and friends.

    A warm light appeared in Xia Wanyuan''s eyes.

    If only time could stop at this moment, she thought.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Beijing restaurant, Xia Yu treated his roommates to a meal.

    Since his roommates had already begun their internship, everyone dispersed after dinner. Xia Yu was thest to leave.

    He was about to leave when he met Jiang Yun, who was surrounded by everyone.

    Jiang Yun was still the same as before. She was dressed in a white suit and had short hair. She was clearly young, but her eyes already had a dignity that far exceeded her peers.

    "CEO Jiang, this restaurant''s turnover this year¡­" The assistant was introducing it to Jiang Yun in detail, but Jiang Yun stopped in her tracks.

    She looked at Xia Yu in front of her.

    It was said that the ce that could hone a man the most was the battlefield.

    The current Xia Yu seemed to be very different from the Xia Yu in her impression.

    His almond-shaped eyes were still bright, but they seemed to have be more firm. The originally slender young man''s body had be tall and slender after the tempering of military life. His young shoulders seemed to be rapidly stabilizing.

    Jiang Yun pursed her lips and looked away, preparing to leave.

    "Wait." Xia Yu spoke first. "CEO Jiang, do you mind talking for a while?"

    Jiang Yun wanted to reject him, but when she met Xia Yu''s bright eyes, she could not help but nod.

    The two of them walked to a quiet lounge.

    Jiang Yun turned around. "What''s the matter?"

    "I heard that CEO Jiang is getting married, right?" Xia Yu looked at Jiang Yun, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes making one''s hair stand on end.

    Jiang Yun subconsciously looked away. "You''re still young. You don''t understand."

    "Pfft." Xia Yu sneered. "You don''t seem to be older than me, right?"

    Jiang Yun sighed slightly in her heart. "It''s different."

    Her biological age was simr to Xia Yu''s, but in terms of psychological age, Jiang Yun was much older than Xia Yu.

    When Xia Yu was still in primary school, Jiang Yun had already begun to learn to master all sorts of business in America.

    While Xia Yu still had all sorts of pure rtionships, Jiang Yun was already at ease in the rich and powerful circle of America. She had seen countless dirty and ugly people and schemed against their hearts.

    Later, Jiang Yun calmed down and thought about it. She was attracted to Xia Yu because he had something shecked the most.

    And she did not want to erase Xia Yu''s bright temperament because of her.

    After all, the struggle between the families was far more capable of devouring everything than a ck hole.

    Xia Yu gritted his teeth. "Have you always treated me like a child? Have I never grown up in your heart?"

    "No." Jiang Yun tried her best to speak to Xia Yu calmly. "I know you''ve been growing, but how should I say it? We''re not suitable."

    "If I go to your wedding venue, will you leave with me?" After a moment of silence, Xia Yu finally asked.

    Jiang Yun nced at Xia Yu''s handsome side profile and shook her head with a smile. "No."

    Father Jiang did not want her to be with Xia Yu, and he had many extreme actions. However, Father Jiang was right about one thing. Even if she and Xia Yu were together, they would eventually separate.

    They were from two different worlds.

    "I understand." Xia Yu gritted his teeth and turned to leave without any reluctance.

    Behind him, Jiang Yun clenched her fists, her eyes red.

    If she was not the daughter of the Jiang family, she was actually willing to gamble with Xia Yu, but it was a pity.

    Jiang Yun took a deep breath and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then, she turned around and walked towards her subordinates who had been waiting for a long time.

    "Continue reporting."

    ¡ª¡ª

    Usually, big-name fashion conferences were held in France. After all, that was the historical fashion capital where all sorts of fashion people gathered.

    Even many shows in China were sometimes held in France.

    Back then, Xia Wanyuan had participated in the World Design Competition in France. At this press conference, everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan was going to strike while the iron was hot and go to France to show off her new summer product, further expanding the international market.

    However, no one expected that Xia Wanyuan did not n to hold a physical show this time.

    Instead, she prepared to release this exhibition in the form of an online show.

    After Xiu Yi''s official announcement, it immediately caused an argument.

    [ Even being innovative can''t be like this, right¡­ Aren''t clothes meant to be worn on people? What does the Inte show mean? I don''t understand. ]

    [I don''t care. Just support Xia Wanyuan unconditionally. Anyway, I don''t think Xia Wanyuan will ever disappoint me.]

    While the Inte was filled with controversy, in the suburbs of Beijing, arge runway with real scenery as the foundation, coupled with digital painting and visual special effects synthesis technology, was preparing.

    n order to meet the requirements of ten different backgrounds, the entire scenic area here was almost booked by the Xiafeng Group. Every day, all sorts of resources were flown here from all over the country.

    Other than sses, Xia Wanyuan woulde and guide thepletion of various sets whenever she was free. In just a week, she had lost about five pounds.

    Jun Shiling was angry and heartbroken.

 Chapter 1208 - Runway

    1208 Runway

    Xia Wanyuan had never gained weight no matter what she ate. Jun Shiling could hold her waist with one hand. Now that she had lost five pounds, he could feel it with a light grip.

    After dinner that day, seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to go to the study to work again, Jun Shiling reached out and pulled her back. "Do you want to die? Do you want to weigh how much you''ve lost weight?"

    Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks and looked at Jun Shiling with a smile. "There''s still a little left. I''ll sleep after I''m done."

    "No." Xia Wanyuan''s chin became even thinner and sharper. Jun Shiling was angry just looking at it.

    Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling''s sleeve. "One hour. Can I give you a surprise after I''m done?"

    "No." To Jun Shiling, all surprises were useless.

    "You¡­" Xia Wanyuan smiled and punched Jun Shiling. "Alright, go to sleep."

    She would settle the things tomorrow. She had to make Jun Shiling happy first. This master had been sulking for five days. Xia Wanyuan felt that if she ignored Jun Shiling, he might explode.

    Jun Shiling stuffed Xia Wanyuan under the nket and imprisoned her in his arms. "You''re not allowed to get up tomorrow unless you sleep for eight hours tonight."

    Xia Wanyuan secretly tilted her head and kissed Jun Shiling''s corbone. The wet heat pounced on Jun Shiling''s skin. "Okay, good night."

    "¡­" Jun Shiling''s body instantly stiffened. "You''re really heartless."

    No matter what, I had done it for Xia Wanyuan''s health. In the end, Xia Wanyuan had suddenly done this. Wasn''t it to take revenge on me by not letting me sleep properly?

    Xia Wanyuan had already closed her eyes, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "I didn''t."

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she leaned towards Jun Shiling again.

    Jun Shiling did not have the strength to resist. He could only sigh and tighten his grip on Xia Wanyuan. "Sleep."

    A good night''s sleep.

    The next day, Xia Wanyuan was woken up by the sunlight on her face. She took her phone and saw that it was already nine in the morning.

    Xia Wanyuan quickly got up and washed up, then got someone to send her to the runway in the suburbs.

    At this moment, the runway had the backing of the mountains and rivers. In addition to the construction of all sorts of runway, it already had a rough shape.

    "CEO Xia, do you think your request is met?" Shen Qian had been supervising the scene. When he saw Xia Wanyuan, he respectfully reported the situation to her.

    "Let''s go over and take a look." With that, Xia Wanyuan walked around the runway. She was very satisfied. Shen Qian was indeed very reliable.

    "Not bad." Xia Wanyuan nodded. It was basically ording to her imagination. "When this is over, I''ll give you a bonus."

    Compared to the bonus, the affirmation from Xia Wanyuan made Shen Qian even happier. "Thank you for your affirmation, CEO Xia."

    After watching the show, Xia Wanyuan went to Xiu Yi to look at the clothes again.

    Actually, fromst year onwards, Xia Wanyuan had a preliminary idea for this fashion show, so she handed the designs to Xiu Yi''s factory one after another.

    Now, manyplicated high-end custom-made products had been made.

    <h4>Chapter 1209: The Princess Teaches How To Be A Good Person</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this Mrs. Jun?¡± The boss weed her warmly. ¡°Mrs. Jun, feel free to choose. I have good goods that don¡¯t exist in the industry. Tell me what you like. I¡¯ll wrap it up for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked around and took out a wooden sign from her bag. ¡°Do you recognize the words on this?¡±

    The boss leaned over to take a look and his expression turned slightly cold. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you really have good taste. This is a beauty that has been in short supply recently.¡±

    Actually, the boss was hiding something.

    Recently in the underground market, antiques that seemed to havee from more than a thousand years ago are very popr.

    However, it was mainly because the dynasty had not been confirmed. Everyone only guessed from various rumors that there might be a dynasty in history that had never been unveiled.

    Everyone wanted to buy it but did not dare to. On the one hand, if this dynasty was really confirmed by the officials, these cultural relics would break through the sky-high price. On the other hand, if the dynasty was fake, everyone¡¯s money would be wasted.

    The boss nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°If Madam Jun is interested in this, I have another batch of goods behind. Why don¡¯t I take them out for you to take a look? As for the price, you can pay as you see fit.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. The boss quickly went to the backyard and brought out a box.

    There was a set of ancient jewelry neatly ced in the box.

    The boss was not sure if these goods were real or fake, but with a big customer in front of him, he did not want to give up and could only make it up. ¡°Mrs. Jun, it¡¯s like this.¡±

    ¡°I want all these things. However, you have to tell me where you got these from.¡± Xia Wanyuan was too familiar with these things. Every inch of them had the shadow of the Great Xia Dynasty.

    ¡°This¡­¡± ording to the rules of the industry, when money and goods were settled, one usually could not tell the source of the goods. However, the person in front of him¡­ was a big shot that many people could not see even if they wanted to.

    The boss hesitated for a moment before exining, ¡°To be honest, if it were anyone else today, I definitely wouldn¡¯t reveal anything. I collected these things from the Snowy Peak Mountain.¡±

    <i>Snowy Peak Mountain??</i>Hearing this address, Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled, but she still nodded at the boss. ¡°I want all of these. I¡¯ll use the card to pay.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± The boss was overjoyed to have made a big deal and hurriedly went to pack things for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan brought thisrge box back and thought about a question the entire way.

    <i>If any of my dynasties had really appeared in the history of this era, these things should have been discovered in the northwest. Why was it Snow Peak Mountain??</i>

    Snow Peak Mountain was in the south, almost half of China away from where she had once lived.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and decided not to dwell on this for the time being. After she was done with her work, she wanted to go to Snow Peak Mountain personally.

    Thinking about something, Xia Wanyuan casually nced at it and suddenly said, ¡°Stop the car.¡±

    The chauffeur drove the car to the roadside and Xia Wanyuan got out.

    Xia Yu sat by the window and drank ss after ss of wine. A figure suddenly walked over. Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu subconsciously wanted to hide the wine ss.

    ¡°You¡¯ve grown up? You¡¯ve learned to drink alone?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over and sat in front of Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°Sister, I only drank a few mouthfuls. I won¡¯t get drunk.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan could see the sadness in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes at a nce. Thinking about it, she knew that Xia Yu was sad about Jiang Yun.

    Xia Wanyuan took the wine ss and poured one for herself. ¡°What do you think?¡±

    Xia Yu was stunned. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was smart and that he could not hide these things from her. ¡°I don¡¯t have any thoughts. If she¡¯s unwilling, what can I do?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip of wine. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about us.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan repeated, ¡°If you insist on being with her, we won¡¯t have any other opinions about you because of this. In my eyes, if Jiang Yun is with you, her identity is Xia Yu¡¯s wife and has nothing to do with anything else.¡±

    These words were said very easily, but Xia Yu knew how much weight Xia Wanyuan represented. Xia Yu smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, actually, you¡¯ve always treated me like a child.¡±

    ]These words stunned Xia Wanyuan. She looked at Xia Yu. After nearly a year of military life, Xia Yu¡¯s entire temperament had been polished to an extremely sharp point. His originally youthful facial features were now more inclined to the handsomeness of a young man. His bright almond-shaped eyes were filled with determination.

    ¡°You¡¯re just a child to me.¡±

    ¡°But.¡± Xia Yu sat up straight. ¡°I can¡¯t be a child forever. Perhaps if I¡¯m willful, I can let you cover for me and let you resolve my trouble, but I don¡¯t want to.¡±

    Xia Yu had already thought it through.

    The Jiang family and the Jun family were destined to only have one survivor. Xia Yu did not want to cause more trouble for the already busy Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling because of him.

    With that, Xia Yu raised his ss at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I want to protect you too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was touched.<i>?Xia Yu was growing rapidly.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan picked up her wine ss and clinked it with Xia Yu. ¡°No matter what you do, I¡¯ll support you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Sister.¡± Xia Yu smiled with his white teeth, as if he had be that youth again.

    After a long time, it was already evening when Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor. The smell of alcohol began to fill the air. When Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, she was a little shaky.

    Half an hourter, Jun Shiling arrived home. ¡°Where¡¯s Madam?¡±

    Uncle Wang took Jun Shiling¡¯s coat. ¡°Madam is drunk and is lying upstairs.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the antique box before turning to go upstairs.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was leaning on the sofa. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, she smiled. ¡°You¡¯re here??¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could approach, he smelled the faint fragrance of wine. ¡°Every day, not only do you not take care of your health, but you also drink.¡±

    Although he sounded fierce, Jun Shiling still carefully carried Xia Wanyuan to the bed and covered her with the nket.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan was drunk and slept soundly. She had no idea that the entertainment industry had already been embroiled in a huge controversy because of the fashion show.

    The cause of the matter was still the interview Xia Wanyuan had participated in at the official television station in America.

    Han Country was very close to America, so America¡¯s television programs were also very popr in Han Country. At that time, after the Han Country saw the show, almost the entire Inte boycotted Xia Wanyuan.

    The funny thing was that after the reporter who was scolded by Xia Wanyuan returned to Han Country, arge number of fans actually weed her with flowers. They treated her as a hero.

    With everyone¡¯s support and encouragement, the reporter became even more confident. That reporter belonged to a very good family in Han Country and knew many famous people in the fashion industry.

    She had been publicly refuted by Xia Wanyuan in the interview and felt that she had lost face. She held a grudge against Xia Wanyuan. In addition, after a few science incidents, the people of Han Country were very resistant to Xia Wanyuan.

    The reporter used this public opinion to tangle with a group of people from the fashion industry in Han Country and released news that they would also hold a traditional fashion show in Han Country and apply for a cultural heritage from the international organization.

    Originally, holding a fashion show was not worth attracting attention. What aroused the indignation of the Chineseizens was that the reporter had actually publicly mentioned Xia Wanyuan on the Inte and even sent an invitation to Xia Wanyuan to watch the show.

    [F*ck, I want to hit someone. These people really don¡¯t care about their face anymore. The people of Han Country are the most shameless people in the world.]

    [ Amazing, you still have the cheek to send an invitation to Xia Wanyuan. Does it not hurt enough when she pped your facest time? With my bad temper, I really want to ask these people if it feels so good to treat the scraps you learned from China as treasures? ]

    [Stealing a country is the origin of the universe after all. Is there anything strange about doing such a thing?]

    Theizens discussed spiritedly. The other party¡¯s goal had been achieved.

    At least now, anyone who surfed the Inte knew that the fashion industry of Han Country was going to hold a fashion show together on the same day as Xiu Yi.

    This was a tant provocation. Everyone knew that it, but they were helpless. After all, it was not against thew.

    Theizens were just very heartbroken. China¡¯s cultural publicity had always been weak, so weak that theizens hated that they could not rush out to promote human flesh every day.

    Inparison, Country Han used an externalwork to begin with, so it was more convenient to transmit information.

    Hence, under their deliberate exaggeration, it became ¡°Xia Wanyuan scammed the Han Country¡¯s fashion circle¡±.

    God knew that when the Chineseizens saw this topic appear on the Inte, they were so angry that they almost fainted on the spot.

    In the manor, after sleeping for two hours, Xia Wanyuan finally woke up. She was still drunk and her head was still a little dizzy. Just as she reached out, Jun Shiling helped her up.

    ¡°What time is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned.

    ¡°Nine. Go down and eat,¡± Jun Shiling said as he went to find shoes for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped him. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry to eat.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m quite happy today. Not only did I find clues about my dynasty, but I also realized that Xia Yu has grown up,¡± Xia Wanyuan said slowly. Because she was drunk, the corners of her eyes were red and she looked extremely seductive.

    ¡°Mm, you¡¯re happy, so?¡± Jun Shiling took the clothes and draped them over Xia Wanyuan, preparing to help her off the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and whispered into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear, ¡°I¡¯m happy, so I want CEO Jun to be happy too.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turned dangerous. The corners of his lips curled up. ¡°What can make me happy?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled shyly. ¡°What do you think?¡±

    <i>¡­ (This is the dividing line that tests imagination the most.)</i>

    The moon was high in the sky. Xia Wanyuan ate dinner. There was still thest draft in her hand. Xia Wanyuan worked overtime and finished the design draft overnight.

    After all, ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s n, from tomorrow onwards, they would have to prepare for the rehearsal of the fashion show.

    The next day had good weather. Xia Wanyuan got up and brought An Rao to the field area in the suburbs.

    Ever since An Rao was pregnant, she had note out to breathe. Now that she could finallye out for a walk, she was like a free bird, so happy that she almost flew into the sky.

    ¡°Sister, I love you too much. Only you will bring me out to y.¡± An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Let me tell you, Bo Xiao is too much. He forces me to drink that baffling soup every day. Look at my stomach!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at An Rao¡¯s graceful waist. ¡°Isn¡¯t that for your own good?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, he only knows his son now.¡± An Rao snorted proudly. ¡°I¡¯m no longer favored.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little amused. ¡°Alright, I didn¡¯t call you out to y today. We have a rehearsal today.¡±

    ¡°Okay! I like to wear the clothes you designed the most.¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Wearing an extremely beautiful dress designed by her best friend in the fashion show was extremely satisfying.

    Money made the world go round. Although it had not been long since the fashion show n was confirmed and the venue started building, fortunately, the money was strong enough. Now that the entire venue was basically built, all the technicians began to get into position.

    Xia Wanyuan brought An Rao into the venue. An Rao, who was used to seeing all sorts of international shows, could not help but be amazed by the scene in front of her.

    ¡°Wow, what a beautiful runway. Sister, did you design this?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°The specific details of the n I gave were handed to the construction staff.¡±

    ¡°Then you¡¯re also very amazing.¡± An Rao walked around excitedly. Before she could finish looking, Xia Wanyuan pulled her into the fitting room.

    ¡°Change into that set. The others are almost ready.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao nodded obediently. She liked to wear beautiful clothes the most.

    In order to maintain the greatest anticipation, rehearsals like this were confidential. Other than some core technicians, everyone else retreated outside.

    No one knew what had happened inside. Everyone only knew that when those models walked out of the show, their faces were filled with excitement and surprise.

    There was no need to mention An Rao. As the number one female fan of Xia Wanyuan, she already wanted to kick Bo Xiao away and marry Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, work hard this time. Let those shameless people see who the real Chinese style is.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was holding a document that recorded all sorts of data. The rehearsal was basically sessful, but it still needed to be perfected. ¡°Alright, stop praising me. Go back quickly. Qingli misses you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao bade farewell to Xia Wanyuan happily and walked home.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor and focused on studying the points that needed to be perfected in the rehearsal.

    ¡°Madam, there¡¯s an invitation from America.¡± Uncle Wang walked in and handed an invitation with the word ¡®happy¡¯ printed in red to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan took it and took a look. It was an invitation written by Feng Wuyou.

    Although Feng Wuyou did not want to get married, a marriage between families was inevitable. She epted her fate. As the woman she admired the most, Xia Wanyuan naturally received her invitation.

    However, other than the invitation, Uncle Wang also brought a letter. This letter invited Xia Wanyuan to a funeral.

 Chapter 1211 - Battle of the Three Kingdoms

    <h4>Chapter 1211: Battle of the Three Kingdoms</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and took a look. It was Mr. Blue¡¯s funeral.

    It showed that Mr. Blue had already died at six o¡¯clockst night.

    Xia Wanyuan was not sure if she should go, so she put the invitation aside and waited for Jun Shiling to return to discuss before making a decision.

    She waited for the entire night. Jun Shiling did note back for dinner today. He called in advance and said that he had to work overtime, so Xia Wanyuan could only eat first.

    When it was past eleven, there was still no news from Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan yed games with An Rao while waiting for Jun Shiling.

    The meeting room of the Jun Corporation was brightly lit.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the Jiang family has begun to make a move. This time, it started from the overseas scene.¡± Lin Jing ced the document in front of Jun Shiling.

    The Jiang family had a deep foundation in the overseas market. From the beginning of the year, they had been carefully testing the bottom line of the Jun Corporation. Now, they finally could not help but start taking action.

    Money and power were oftenbined. The Jiang family had been operating overseas for many years. At this moment, through some forces in America, they used the variousws of America to suppress the Jun Corporation¡¯s various overseas trade.

    Jun Shiling flipped through the information in front of him. ¡°Since they want to fight, let¡¯s y with them.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Jing ced another document in front of Jun Shiling. ¡°This is the background of Yu Qian I found. It looks perfect, but no matter how perfect it is, there¡¯s still a loophole.¡±

    The information showed that Yu Qian¡¯s identity had actually been very normal. He had been kidnapped, rescued, and adopted.

    Perhaps many things could be faked, but Lin Jing sent arge number of people to verify the authenticity of this information. In the end, he realized that there was actually a neglected aspect hidden in this information.

    That was, when Lin Jing was investigating the high school Yu Qian attended after he was adopted, he found the principal of that school.

    The information showed that the principal was an extremely hidden anti-China person. He looked respectable on the surface, but in fact, he resisted everything in China.<i>?How could such a person make an exception and admit a Chinese child into the school?</i>

    Perhaps the person who forged the information did not realize this at all, or he did not seriously investigate the principal¡¯s background.

    Jun Shiling took the information and looked at it. In the photo, Yu Qian was wearing a white shirt and smiling quietly. His smile was gentle and elegant, but it did not make one feel any warmth.

    ¡°Check the rtionship between Chu Yi and Yu Qian,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said after watching for a while.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Jing replied respectfully.

    After Lin Jing left the office, Jun Shiling picked up Yu Qian¡¯s information and flipped through it.

    <i>Yu Qian, Wei Zimu¡­?</i>

    It was already midnight. Jun Shiling put away his things and prepared to go home.

    He called Xia Wanyuan as if he had sensed something. As expected, someone picked up quickly.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to sleep first?¡±

    ¡°Then do I have to do as you say?¡± There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, making Jun Shiling helpless.

    ¡°Do you want supper? I¡¯ll bring it back for you.¡±

    ¡°Cake.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When Jun Shiling returned to the manor, he was holding a small cake.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was ying games on her phone when An Rao¡¯s voice came from the voice chat. ¡°Sister, save me! Sister, you¡¯re amazing!¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling return, Xia Wanyuan settled the game quickly. ¡°Jun Shiling is back. I¡¯ll go offline first.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao wanted more.

    Not far away, Bo Xiao, who was carrying the child, nced at An Rao. ¡°Look at you. Even Sister-inw knows to care about her husband. What about you? You don¡¯t care about me or the child.¡±

    An Rao snorted softly and leaned over to Bo Xiao to pinch his soft face. ¡°He¡¯s so cute. I think he seems to be getting better-looking.¡±

    ¡°Of course. How can my son not look good?¡± Bo Xiao looked at An Rao angrily. ¡°Alright, go and rest.¡±

    Although he said that An Rao did not care about the child, in fact, Bo Xiao had never let An Rao do anything.

    Ever since the child was born, other than feeding him, An Rao had never been worried about anything else. She did not even carry the child much because Bo Xiao was afraid that her arm would be tired.

    As for changing the child¡¯s diapers, changing his clothes, taking a shower, and so on, they were all taken care of by Bo Xiao.

    An Rao leaned on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re a good father.¡±

    Bo Xiao leaned over a little. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give me a reward?¡±

    An Rao kissed Bo Xiao. ¡°Let me take care of him. You haven¡¯t rested in a long time.¡±

    ¡°Shut up and go to sleep. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Bo Xiao carried the child andy on the bed with An Rao.

    An Rao smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. She hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s arm and fell asleep peacefully.

    In Bo Xiao¡¯s arms, as if sensing that his mother was already asleep, Xiao Bao waved his hand and fell asleep peacefully.

    Looking at the two peaceful sleeping faces in his arms, a smile appeared in Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan ate as she listened to Jun Shiling talk about Yu Qian.

    ¡°Anyway, this person gives me a very dangerous feeling. What identity do you think he has behind him? Why did Wei Zimu leave China? I heard from Xia Yu that Wei Zimu saved him.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. He had a guess in his mind, but this guess still needed to be verified. ¡°Why? Do you miss your Brother Zimu?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was biting into the cake when she suddenly choked on Jun Shiling¡¯s words. ¡°Can you not be jealous of everything?¡±

    Jun Shiling took the cake away and leaned over. ¡°Is it sweet? Let me try it.¡±

    ¡°¡­.¡±

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan met An Rao and went to the runway for rehearsal.

    At this moment, all sorts of express delivery began to be sent to the show venue from all over the country. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been continuously sending designs to all over the country. Now, the factories everywhere had basically finished work and sent all the clothes over.

    It was not only Xia Wanyuan¡¯s show that was busy. During this period of time, Camellia Company was also preparing intensively. There was also thebined fashion team of Country Han.

    In order to promote themselves, they kept promoting it to the public while preparing for the rehearsal.

    Camellia was an international brand with countless famous designers and models under it. Last year, Camellia¡¯s operations in China were miserable. This time, they probably wanted topletely turn the tables. Camellia Company had invested a lot of manpower and resources in this show.

    Just in the modeling industry, among the top 100 international models, Camellia Company had spent a lot of money to invite 50 of them, and this was not counting the investment of the major designers.

    The fashion industry team in Han Country was even more ridiculous. Han Country and America had a close rtionship, so the fashion industry naturally interacted very closely.

    Due to the influence of public opinion in South Korea, many Han people even treated this grand show as a battle of honor between countries.

    In addition, there were many interests disputes between the forces of Han Country and China. Many hidden forces were mobilized to secretly support Han Country¡¯s show this time.

    Many famous people in America joined the Han show.

    Inparison, Xiu Yi, led by Xia Wanyuan, was very low-key. It was as if other than Xia Wanyuan and An Rao, there were no other big-name celebrities.

    [ Um, although I¡¯ve always felt that there¡¯s no direct connection between big brands and quality, I feel that it¡¯s blown up this time. So many people are waiting to see Xiu Yi make a fool of herself. Can¡¯t Xia Wanyuan find a few more big brand celebrities to oversee it? ]

    [Although¡­ I feel that many people won¡¯te. After all, I feel that Xiu Yi¡¯s chances of winning this time are very low. Although I¡¯m Chinese, the other party is too fierce.]

    [ There¡¯s really something wrong with the Han people¡¯s brains. They were the ones who stole first. Now, just because they have more say internationally, they¡¯re defaming our history and clothes in all sorts of ways. I really hope Xia Wanyuan can p their faces hard. ]

    There was a lot of controversy on the Inte about Xiu Yi¡¯s attitude. At this moment, Xiu Yi suddenly released an official statement.

    @ Xiu Yi: ¡°Thank you for your concern. Many people are paying attention to our models. As for the selection of models, ording to our designer, Xia Wanyuan, the registration channel will be opened. The models for this show will be chosen from the Chinese. As long as they meet the requirements, they can participate.¡±

    At the bottom of Weibo was a link to the registration.

    Theizens were a little stunned.

    [What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t modeling a very specialized profession? Can ordinary people participate?]

    [ Whether it¡¯s true or not, I¡¯ll register first. This is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s show. I like Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes the most. Hahaha, who cares if I get chosen? I¡¯ll upy a seat first. ]

    [ Let me ask you weakly. Can a man go? Boohoo, I want to go too. Xia Wanyuan is my goddess. I want to wear Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes too. ]

    The male fan was originally just asking casually. He did not expect to receive Xiu Yi¡¯s official reply.

    ¡°The special segment of this fashion show requires male models, so regardless of gender, everyone can sign up enthusiastically.¡±

    As soon as she said this, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s male fans lurking in the crowd were restless and all appeared.

    It was only at this moment that everyone was surprised to discover that Xia Wanyuan had so many male fans.

    ording to the data of everyone who signed up, among the hundreds of thousands of people who signed up, the ratio of men to women was nearly 5: 5.

    Everyone:<i>?Xia Wanyuan lives up to her reputation of being weed by both genders.?</i>

    The registration time was three days. The registrant had to upload the photo information ording to the requirements, then hand it to Xiu Yi¡¯s officials to choose. In the end, Xia Wanyuan would decide the candidate.

    At the end of three days, under the attention of the entire Inte, Xiu Yi announced the name list of the four hundred people chosen in the end.

    The moment the name list was announced, theizens were stunned.

    <i>400 models??? Is this a fashion press conference or a military recruitment?? Why are there so many people???</i>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Not only theizens, but even Chen Yun and Lu Li, who did not know the situation, were a little curious. ¡°Why are there 400 models?? How many clothes are there to be disyed??¡±

    Under normal circumstances, a press conference would at most use dozens of models, including substitutes.

    400 people. This lineup could start a sports meet on the spot.

    The domesticizens knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength better. Since they had been pped in the face by Xia Wanyuan too many times, although everyone was puzzled, they did not question her.

    However, thements on the Inte were very bad.

    Actually, Han Country and Camellia had been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movements. They had thought that Xia Wanyuan would make a big move, but who would have thought that in the end, Xia Wanyuan would even choose models from ordinary people?

    In the fashion industry, there was a very strict chain of contempt.

    There was a considerable amount of disdain between models. All the top international fashion brands invited super models to walk on the runway.

    What Xia Wanyuan did was basically something only small brands would do.

    Now, Camellia and Country Han werepletely relieved. They even helped Xia Wanyuan promote Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion press conference. After all, when more people would pay attention to it, more people would know, when the show failed.

    [Does she know that she has no quality, so she wants to win with numbers?]

    [ 400¡­ 400bined probably can¡¯tpare to an international supermodel hired by Camellia. Does she not have the money to hire models? Surely not? Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan the wife of the richest man? ]

    [What wife of the richest man? She won¡¯t be the wife soon. Don¡¯t you know? The Jun Corporation¡¯s business overseas has been greatly affected. Severalrge factories in America have been stopped. They¡¯re in a financial crisis.]

    At the same time, the media reported that the Jun Corporation had been cklisted in America.

    The American officials used the localws to investigate the many businesses of the Jun Corporation without any prior notice, causing the Jun Corporation¡¯s overseas projects to suffer a huge blow.

    For a moment, everyone was panicking. The shares of the Jun Corporation began to fall, and on the other hand, the Jiang family¡¯s shares were constantly rising in price.

    After all, everyone knew about the battle between the Jun family and the Jiang family. Everyone could tell that the sudden change in the Jun Corporation, which had maintained its business overlord status for so long, must be rted to the means behind the Jiang family.

    Xia Wanyuan had also seen the news on the Inte. Compared to the various worries of the others, Xia Wanyuan seemed much calmer and did not seem to care about these news at all.

    Chen Yun watched silently for a while before sighing. ¡°No wonder the two of you can be together. You¡¯re indeed ruthless.¡±

    The fire was burning her brows, yet she was not anxious at all.

    Xia Wanyuan was reading the script. ¡°What¡¯s there to be anxious about? It¡¯s just a temporary loss.¡±

    Chen Yun walked away silently. This was probably the difference between him and the richest man.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, the American Feng family was busy.

    In the entire family, Feng Wuyou was the most rxed. She sat by the door of the room and quietly looked at the peopleing and going outside.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± After a while, Feng Wuyou suddenly sighed.

    <i>What should I do? I still miss Chu Yi so much. I wonder what Chu Yi is doing now and if he will miss me.?</i>

    Although she was already prepared for a marriage alliance, she still felt very sad when this day arrived.

    ¡°Miss, the invitation you instructed to send to China has been sent to them. Madam Jun replied that it will arrive on time.¡± The butler walked forward and reported to Feng Wuyou.

    ¡°Really?¡± Feng Wuyou was finally a little happy.

    ¡°Yes, Old Master and Madam are very happy that you¡¯re friends with Xia Wanyuan.¡± If it were anyone else, the Feng family would definitely not be willing to send an invitation. However, no matter who the Feng family stood by in the future, it was not a bad thing to have a good rtionship with the Jun family first.

    ¡°Then when are theying?¡± Feng Wuyou looked at the butler expectantly.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun said that she will arrive in America the day after tomorrow, on the day of the wedding.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Feng Wuyou was happy. Although it was sad to marry a coal miner, she could at least ask Chu Yi how he was doing now that she could see her friends in China.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The alliance between the Jiang family and America had indeed caused a lot of pressure on the Jun Corporation¡¯s businesses. Jun Shiling had been much busier than before recently. Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan had An Rao to apany her for the rehearsal for the press conference.

    However, Chu Yi and Feng Wuyou¡¯s wedding was imminent. Jun Shiling was too busy and did not n to attend the wedding, so he let Xia Wanyuan go over herself.

    Until one morning, Xia Wanyuan received a call from Xuan Sheng. Xuan Sheng knew that Jun Shiling was too busy to apany Xia Wanyuan to America, so he called to ask if Xia Wanyuan wanted to leave with him.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling had already taken the phone. ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry, CEO Xuan. I¡¯ll apany her myself.¡±

    Xuan Sheng hung up the phone. The assistant looked at Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression. ¡°CEO Xuan, you know that even if CEO Jun doesn¡¯t go, Miss Xia won¡¯t be willing to leave with you. Why are you doing this?¡±

    Xuan Sheng threw his phone aside. ¡°I only called because I knew.¡±

    No matter how important the Jun Corporation was, was it more important than Xia Wanyuan? He just wanted to pressure Jun Shiling and let him know that the person beside him was a treasure that others could not even beg for.

    ¡°¡­¡± The assistant sighed silently and handed the food Lu Li had sent over to Xuan Sheng. ¡°This is from Miss Lu Li.¡±

    Ever since the two of them had made things clearst time, Lu Li would still send food to Xuan Sheng every few days. However, she was more open now.

    Xuan Sheng did not reject Lu Li¡¯s kindness. asionally, when he saw any beautiful jewelry, he would give one to Lu Li to express his gratitude.

    In the manor, ever since he received Xuan Sheng¡¯s call, Jun Shiling had decided that he would temporarily put aside his domestic matters and apany Xia Wanyuan to America first.

    ¡°Do you have to?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling speechlessly. ¡°I won¡¯t leave with him.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the number on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. ¡°Alright, go and pack your things. I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    The next morning, the two of them sent Xiao Bao to Old Master¡¯s house and boarded the ne to America.

    As the overlord of Continent F and as a big family in America, the marriage between the two was not a normal wedding. It could be said that it represented the alliance between the two families.

    This kind of wedding was actually equivalent to an external signal. Themercial meaning was much greater than its original wedding meaning.

    Almost all the eyes in the world were gathered here.

    <h4>Chapter 1213: I¡¯m Here to Fetch the Bride</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    All the major media were reporting on the wedding. As the wedding was too luxurious, it even attracted manyizens.

    Although the Chu family and the Feng family had left China for many years, there were still traces of Chinese customs in the decoration of the wedding. Although it was a Western-style wedding, the betrothal gifts and dowry on both sides were real gold.

    The room was filled with gold and all sorts of pearls and gems, causing the surroundingizens to be stunned.

    [Is this the world of the rich?? I¡¯m shocked. People wear gold bracelets when they get married. Good lord, these two families are giving away a house of gold when they get married?]

    [ That eldest daughter of the Feng family is a beauty. What a pity. She actually has to marry a coal digger. Sigh, money can indeed make the devil work. ]

    [ Coal digger? Is it real or fake? This is too much. I¡¯ve seen a photo of the eldest daughter of the Feng family. She¡¯s really beautiful. A flower is going to be stuck in cow dung again. ]

    At this moment, the guests had gradually entered the famous church in America. Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and slowly walked in. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that it¡¯s only been a while this year and we¡¯ve already attended two weddings?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Their wedding venue is very beautiful.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around. The church was decorated very beautifully. It was simple, solemn, and gorgeous. It was obvious that the Chu family had spent a lot of effort.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied simply again.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan finally sensed that something was wrong. She looked up. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze was faint. ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan know why Jun Shiling was being sarcastic. Today was Feng Wuyou¡¯s wedding and it was an official asion. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a strapless gown.

    ¡°When they¡¯re holding a wedding, don¡¯t cause trouble for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling angrily.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling could only retract his gaze. What could he do? Although he had an opinion, he did not dare to mention it to Xia Wanyuan.

    The guests had already taken their seats and were waiting for the wedding to begin.

    At this moment, in the Feng family, Feng Wuyou had already dressed up and was sitting on a chair eating candy.

    ¡°Eldest Miss, the young master of the Chu family is already here to pick up the bride. Hurry up and pack up to go out.¡± The butler opened the door and saw that Feng Wuyou was still sitting leisurely. He was immediately anxious.

    ¡°Got it, got it. Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Feng Wuyou stood up, lifted the veil off her head, and lowered her head to adjust her wedding shoes.

    At this moment, the butler¡¯s arm was suddenly patted. The butler turned around. Before he could speak, Chu Yi gestured for him to shut up. Then, Chu Yi entered and closed the door.

    The butler was a little stunned. Why did this young master go in without following the rules?? (italics)

    Hearing footsteps, Feng Wuyou thought it was the butler. ¡°I already said I would go immediately. Why are you in a hurry?¡±

    After tidying her shoes, Feng Wuyou stood up and turned to see Chu Yi smiling at her.

    Feng Wuyou was shocked. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Wuyou pulled Chu Yi over. ¡°Leave quickly. If my parents see you, you¡¯re dead.¡±

    Chu Yi stood still and only smiled at Feng Wuyou in her wedding dress. ¡°You look quite good in a wedding dress.¡±

    ¡°Do you not understand me when I¡¯m talking to you? Do you know what my parents will do if they find out that you¡¯re here? Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Halfway through her sentence, Feng Wuyou noticed the clothes on Chu Yi. She looked at him hesitantly. ¡°Why are you wearing the groom¡¯s clothes?¡±

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Because I¡¯m here to pick up the bride.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Puzzlement shed across Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, a thought shed across her mind. ¡°Chu Yi?!¡±

    Chu Yi coughed lightly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, wife?¡±

    ¡°!!¡± Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You¡¯re the coal digger from Continent F?¡±

    Chu Yi took off his sses. Only then did Feng Wuyou realize that after taking off his sses, Chu Yi had a hint of evilness and was even more handsome than before. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m the coal digger.¡±

    ¡°You bastard! Then you lied to me in the past?!¡± Feng Wuyou was about to punch Chu Yi when Chu Yi hugged her waist. ¡°If you want to fight, you shouldn¡¯t fight now. Leave it for tonight. Now, we¡¯re going to get married.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Feng Wuyou struggled for a while but could not break free. She looked at Chu Yi¡¯s evil side profile and felt that she had been deceived by Chu Yi.

    Where was the elegant, gentle, and pure boy? Why did I feel that Chu Yi looked like a big-tailed wolf with a stomach full of evil tricks? (italics)

    The butler stood at the door and watched Chu Yi carry Feng Wuyou out. No matter how he looked at it, it was strange.

    ording to his understanding of Feng Wuyou, she had a fiery temper. Why would she ept Chu Yi carrying her out so quickly? (italics)

    Seeing that the two of them had already walked far away, the butler hurriedly followed.

    In the church, Xia Wanyuan was studying the surrounding decorations. Caught off guard, a suit jacket was draped over her shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re being unreasonable. I won¡¯t go out with you next time.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling pointed at the door and tried to change the topic. ¡°Look at the groom.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked in the direction Jun Shiling was pointing, surprise shing across her eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Feng Wuyou¡¯s boyfriend in China?¡±

    ¡°Mm, he¡¯s also the young master of the Chu family and the future sessor.¡±

    The wedding proceeded ording to the established procedure. Other than Feng Wuyou looking a little angry, everything else was normal.

    After the two sides exchanged rings, the news articles prepared by the Chu and Feng families began to be released globally.

    Looking at the wedding photo, other than feeling that the rich man was rich, everyone was also a little surprised that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had actually attended this wedding.

    The others were watching themotion, but the other families in China could not sit still.

    There was no news that Jun Shiling had a rtionship with the Chu family and the Feng family? Why were Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan at their wedding for no reason? (italics)

    Jiang Kui specially got someone to investigate the clues. The information he received showed that Xia Wanyuan and Feng Wuyou were actually very good friends.

    ¡°I¡¯m so angry.¡± Jiang Kui threw the documents aside. ¡°Why is Xia Wanyuan always so lucky!¡±

    Any random friend she had was the eldest daughter of the Feng family. Why didn¡¯t Zou Man have this ability?! (italics)

    It was not easy for him to attack the Jun Corporation in America, but now, he was back to square one!

    At that moment, Zou Man brought over a te of fruits. Jiang Kui was enraged and reached out to knock the fruit te away. ¡°Can you do something serious? You only know how to peel fruits here every day. Isn¡¯t it annoying?¡±

    Liu Tanyu walked over with a document. ¡°Ah Kui, this is the information I asked Madam Lin for. Take a look and see if it¡¯s what you need.¡±

    Jiang Kui took it and looked much better. ¡°You¡¯re still the sensible one. Let¡¯s go upstairs and I¡¯ll read the information with you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Liu Tanyu held Jiang Kui¡¯s arm and went upstairs. Before she left, she looked at Zou Man smugly, the provocation in her eyes obvious.

    Zou Man bent down and slowly picked up the fruit te. Her expression was very calm.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In America, after attending Feng Wuyou¡¯s wedding, Xia Wanyuan felt that Feng Wuyou had escaped from the marriage for so long but had obtained a good one.

    Outside the church, the moment Xia Wanyuan went out, someone sent her a letter. It was from Fang Jin and had the address of a cemetery.

    ¡°Do you think I should take a look?¡±

    The Host was indeed gone, but Mr. Blue was the Host¡¯s biological father. Actually, meeting him could be considered as helping the Host.

    ¡°It¡¯s not suitable for you to appear publicly.¡± Jun Shiling took the letter. ¡°But you can still go over and take a look.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to the cemetery.

    At this moment, there were many people in the cemetery, but it was very quiet.

    Mr. Blue was buried, and the rest of the Blue family stood at the side. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had also arrived, but they did not go forward. Instead, they looked over from afar through the bushes.

    Xia Wanyuan took off her hat and prayed sincerely for the Host.

    The wind blew gently. The ceremony not far away had beenpleted, and Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan quietly left.

    On the way back, Xia Wanyuan was a little depressed. ¡°Do you think I should have visited Mr. Blue on behalf of the Host back then?¡±

    ¡°Do you think he hasn¡¯t seen you before?¡± Jun Shiling said faintly.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up.

    ¡°During the Spring Festival G, he came to Beijing without telling anyone. He left after watching your performance, so there¡¯s no need to regret it. To him, he¡¯s already satisfied to see you.¡±

    When Mr. Blue left Beijing, he had left a message for Jun Shiling. There were only four words on it. ¡°I¡¯ll leave her to you.¡±

    At that time, Jun Shiling knew that Mr. Blue had already resolved all his regrets.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°So you know everything and are hiding everything from me.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to worry about everything. I¡¯ll help you resolve many things.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had too many things to do. After returning from the cemetery, the two of them did not stay and returned to Beijing.

    The press conference was imminent, but there was trouble at the show.

    The reason was the 400 models selected from the Inte.

    After all, they were not professional models. It was already very time-consuming to train. It was not easy for them to train day and night, so they could perform on stage.

    There was a leak in the show.

    The models went on stage to rehearse in specially customized clothes. At first, no one realized that something was wrong until the staff counted the clothes.

    There were actually 200 fewer sets.

    These 200 sets were lost one after another in the fitting room where the models rehearsed every day.

    Losing the clothes was a small matter. The main point was that these clothes had not been released to the market and were prepared to be disyed to the audience at the show. Now that the secret was leaked, it was equivalent to the entire press conference losing all its mystery.

    Xia Wanyuan had just gotten off the ne when the person in charge of the show rushed over to report this matter to her.

    ¡°Then go and find the person. I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. Carry on as usual.¡± Xia Wanyuan stopped the person-in-charge with a sentence.

    The person-in-charge returned with a frown. It was easy to find the person who stole the clothes. After all, it was not easy to transport so many things out, but it was a huge problem how to continue the press conference.

    As the person-in-charge had expected, the style of the clothes at the press conference was quickly leaked. In addition to the person who spread having ulterior motives, not long after, the entire Inte could find news about Xiu Yi¡¯s new summer clothes.

    [Is this a new product? It¡¯s quite beautiful. I¡¯m looking forward to it. But there¡¯s a question. Why are the clothes out before the press conference begins?]

    [ Is there a need to ask? It was leaked. Xia Wanyuan shot herself in the foot. She didn¡¯t choose a professional model and chose this mob. Great, even the information of the new product was leaked. Let¡¯s see what she does this time. ]

    The moles in the show had been cleared out. Everyone saw the various rumors on the Inte. The remaining models silently held a breath and trained even more seriously.

    Time gradually advanced.

    Camellia Corporation¡¯s fashion press conference was a day before Xiu Yi.

    When Xiu Yi held thest rehearsal, Camellia held its summer productunch.

    Although Camellia Corporation had announced to the public that this show in China was only a separate runway,

    However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the scale and quality of the designers and models Camellia had organized in China this time had surpassed history.

    [ Who would believe them if they said that this wasn¡¯t to fight Xia Wanyuan to the death? ]

    [ How ruthless. I heard that Camellia prepared a huge venue and sent invitations to all the major fashion magazines in the country. Now, half of the global fashion industry is sitting at Camellia¡¯s venue. The other half is probably watching the online live broadcast like us. ]

    Just as theizens had said, the head office of France had invested thergest sum of money in thepany¡¯s history for this Camellia fashion show.

    With Zou Man taking the lead and the help of the famous international designers,

    This summer fashion press conference with the theme of ¡°natural¡± received unanimous praise from the domestic and foreign fashion circles with its jumping color and elegant tailoring style.

    All the major fashion media rushed to report. The news titled ¡°Camellia brand leads the new fashion trend¡± instantly swept through all the majorworks.

    As apany with a deep foundation and was willing to spend money and time to make it, even passers-by who did not know anything could tell that the clothes were beautifully made.

    This show was an unprecedented sess.

    On the night of the fashion show, Camellia held a major celebration.

    After all, after the Xiu Yi clothing leak incident, almost the entire Inte knew what Xiu Yi¡¯s new product would be.

    Although Xiu Yi¡¯s new clothes were also very beautiful, they were still slightly inferior to the carefully chosen Camellia clothes.

    Not only Camellia Company, but even arge number of domestic media had changed their direction.

    What everyone was worried about now was how embarrassing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s show would be in thispetition between the fashion worlds of the three countries.

    [ I just have to pray that Xia Wanyuan can pass. Otherwise, she will definitely be mocked to death by that group of people on the Inte. ]

    [ Forget it, what good things do you expect those people to say? No matter how well Xia Wanyuan does, in the eyes of others, there¡¯s something wrong with what she does. ]

    After Camellia Corporation released its summer fashion show, the joint team of the fashion industry in Country Han suddenly stood up and announced that they would showcase their show in advance, the day before Xiu Yi¡¯s show.

    The Chineseizens had originally made up their minds that no matter what those people from Country Han fiddled with, no one would pay attention and let them be clowns.

    However, on the day of the Han Country¡¯s show, everyone in China could not help but look over.

    This was because other than disying the new summer products, this fashion team had also created a special segment.

    The ¡°Traditional Clothes of Han Country¡± segment openly counterattacked Xia Wanyuan thest time she said that the Han clothes was China¡¯s.

    What made the Chineseizens the angriest was that

    Many of the designs and styles of the clothes were giarized from China¡¯s Han clothes!!! However, now, they were introduced by the Han designers as the traditional clothes of Country Han. There were even designers who arrogantly dered that China¡¯s clothes borrowed the characteristics of many Country Han clothes.

    Theizens were so angry that they wished they could cross the Yalu River overnight!

    When the matter umted to a certain extent, it was like a flood from a dam that followed the breakthrough.

    Because of this Hanfu incident, the previous Chinese knot,ntern festival, and even the matter of the Chinese being snatched away by the Han people to apply for cultural heritage were dug out by everyone.

    [I¡¯m about to die of anger. The Han people are shameless and there are few people in a small country, so they want to steal everything from others, right?? Who gave them face?!]

    [ Do you want to know if these people have no bottom line? At that time, when our country had Chinese clothes, may I ask if they ate raw meat and drank blood in that Shangada?? How can they have the cheek to say that China¡¯s Chinese clothes borrowed from their local clothes? ]

    [It¡¯s ridiculous. People who are used to being shameless like to steal everything. Perhaps they feel too inferior, so they want to steal other people¡¯s good things.]

    However, theizens¡¯ints could only beints. Ifints alone could resolve the problem, there would probably not be any disputes in the world.

    The right to speak was everything. Unfortunately, because the foreignwork was closed to China, China did not have the right to speak on the foreignwork at all.

    On the other hand, Han Country, which had the same ideology as most countries internationally, had a lot of say on the Inte.

    With the help of Country Han¡¯sizens, this show quickly reached the top of the international social media rankings.

    As for the traditional clothes of Country Han, they were even disyed on the foreign media.

    The Han Country clothes made everyone¡¯s eyes light up. Those beautiful patterns, unique dress design, and beautiful headwear shocked the internationalizens.

    [ Wow, what a beautiful dress!! Why is it so beautiful? Is that pattern embroidered? Did Xia Wanyuan learn this embroidery when she participated in the World Design Competitionst time? ]

    [ That¡¯s right. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s embroidery was learned from Country Han. Actually, our Country Han still has many embroidery skills that are especially amazing. Xia Wanyuan is already so amazing after learning a little. If everyone is interested, you cane to Country Han to y and experience the real country of embroidery. ]

    [This fashion show is quite good. Not bad, not bad. I didn¡¯t expect Country Han to have such a long history. This culture has such a deep foundation. China brags about being a cultural ancient country every day. From the looks of it, Country Han is not inferior to China at all.]

    As this fashion show had really been carefully prepared and it was rare to see such a traditional show internationally, for a moment, the internationalmunity was filled with praise for the traditional fashion of Country Han.

    After receiving so much praise, the joint team in the fashion industry of Country Han was also smug. Theizens of Country Han were even more arrogant and mocked China on social media.

    The Chineseizens were furious, but they could only watch as the other party was arrogant. What could they do? They could not do anything.

    It was also at this moment that many people began to have a sense of crisis.

    The ancestor had left thousands of years of brilliant culture for them. If they did not cherish and protect it properly, in the end, these brilliant cultures would fall into the hands of others.

    Perhaps thousands of yearster, after a long period of brainwashing and publicity by the Han people, everyone would think that these things were theirs. No matter how many ancient books China brought out to verify, the conventional concept was already ingrained in people¡¯s hearts and could not be changed.

    At this moment, in the suburbs of Beijing, an endless stream of teams entered and left the show.

    The resort here upied a huge area, but it was filled with shows.

    When she came a few days ago, many ces had sheds built and she could not see the entire scene. Now that she saw the entire show, An Rao was shocked by the size. However, at the same time, she was a little puzzled.

    ¡°Why do these runways look so strange??¡±

    An Rao did not understand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts. ording to the runway that she was familiar with, it should be in the form of the audience surrounding the runway, followed by all sorts of background decorations.

    <i>However, how should I put it? Not only was the connection between the runway strange, but even the entireyout looked very messy, like a half-finished product.?</i>

    Under normal circumstances, if one did not have a specific background, they would usually put all sorts of flowers as decorations. However, there were very few flowers in the show venue in front of them. It was bare.

    An Rao wanted to say that it was a little ugly, but she was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would be sad, so she did not dare to say it.

    Xia Wanyuan was very calm. ¡°You¡¯ll know tonight.¡±

    ¡°At night?¡± An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°Is this show disyed at night?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    An Rao did not understand, but she felt that it was amazing.

    Tomorrow was the day of Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion press conference this year. That night, Xia Wanyuan stayed at the show and did not go home. Instead, she finalized all the details with the staff.

    Camellia had been paying attention to Xiu Yi. When the live picture was sent back, the executives of Camellia were also stunned by this messy show.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, are you going all out, or are you not prepared??¡±

    Zou Man finished seeing the picture. Although she also felt that the show on it was very strange, she could not stop the worry in her heart. ¡°ording to my understanding of Xia Wanyuan, she won¡¯t treat this show so sloppily.¡±

    ¡°Then what should we do now?¡± The manager looked at Zou Man in confusion. ¡°We can¡¯t let Xia Wanyuan be in the limelight this time. Camellia Company lost a huge amount of money in Chinast year. If we continue to lose money this year, Camellia will have to leave the Chinese market.¡±

    Zou Man gently knocked on the table. ¡°Someone is more anxious than us. Why are we in a hurry??¡±

    The others looked at each other, not quite understanding what Zou Man meant, but no one dared to ask anymore.

    Just as Zou Man had said, everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were one.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sess meant Jun Shiling¡¯s sess. Many people watched quietly from behind and quietly exerted strength, wanting to ruin this show.

    Jun Shiling naturally would not ignore what Zou Man wanted.

    From the first day the show began, all the staff had gone throughyers of screening. The entire show was also protected.

    Xia Wanyuan was working overtime at the show. Jun Shiling was worried and came to the venue after work.

    Just as he walked to the door, he saw arge group of people arguing at the door.

    ¡°You vited the rules. I order you to stop your work immediately and get the person-in-charge to follow me to the police station.¡± A man in uniform stood in front of Chen Yun with a loaded gun.

    ¡°No, we¡¯re all legal. What right do you have to say that we¡¯re illegal?¡± Chen Yun felt that it was strange. At least five groups of people hade to the show today, as if they were deliberately not letting everyone work properly.

    ¡°It¡¯s not up to you. We¡¯re doing a routine inspection. Please cooperate,¡± the uniformed man said and was about to walk in.

    Chen Yun was anxious.

    Initially, several groups of people had gone in to search during the day. After searching for a long time, they did not find anything and dyed their progress for no reason.

    Now, there was another wave. At this rate, what would happen to the show tomorrow? They could notplete all the processes at all.

    The uniformed man picked up his gun. ¡°Interfering in official business. Can you afford to be charged with this?¡±

    Chen Yun was stunned and took a step back.

    The leader of the men in ck gave his subordinates a look and everyone prepared to rush in.

    At that moment, Chen Yun saw Jun Shiling. He rushed over as if he had seen his savior. ¡°CEO Jun, these people insist on checking us.¡±

    The captain also saw Jun Shiling at that moment. He was frightened by his aura and was afraid for a moment. However, when he thought of the person supporting him, the captain regained his confidence.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯re doing a routine inspection. Please understand.¡±

    Jun Shiling slowly walked in. ¡°What if I don¡¯t understand?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, I know you¡¯re powerful, but at least we have to respect the word w¡¯, right? You can¡¯t be above thew, right?¡± The captain argued with Jun Shiling righteously.

    With that, he gestured. The others were ready to rush in.

    At this moment, many secret guards suddenly appeared in the runway. They were also armed with live ammunition and surrounded the runway, pointing their guns at the people who wanted to rush in.

    ¡°Gun?!¡± The captain instantly loaded the gun. He turned around and looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. ¡°CEO Jun, you openly established a gun team. You¡¯re endangering the safety of the public. This is illegal!¡±

    Chen Yun was also scared silly. How would he know that there were so many people with guns in the show?

    Jun Shiling nced calmly at the person in front of him. ¡°Then let¡¯s see who broke thew after you barge in.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling left.

    The people brought by the captain aimed their guns at Jun Shiling, but no one dared to shoot. The captain hesitated again and again, but he still got everyone to put away their guns and return to the team.

    He had someone backing him, but he also knew that Jun Shiling was powerful. If they really fought, who would care about an errand boy like him?

    At this moment, there were peopleing and going in the show venue. It was arge area. As far as the eye could see, the lights were mixed together, and the fireworks were dazzling. The models were wearing all sorts of luxurious clothes on stage.

    Chen Yun brought Jun Shiling in. In front of a runway at the innermost area, Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Seeing Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes clearly lit up. She had been too busy these few days. Xia Wanyuan had not seen Jun Shiling for the entire day.

    Jun Shiling took two steps forward and caught Xia Wanyuan, who was running towards him.

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Thank you for visiting, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°Is everything ready?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and looked at the scene on the main controller.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then sat in front of the controller and demonstrated it to Jun Shiling.

    Chen Yun watched silently from the side. In the end, heined in his heart that he was a third wheel. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were chatting happily, he ran to the side to guide the model.

    After the captain returned, he reported the news of Jun Shiling being at the scene to the higher-ups.

    Hearing the report, Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°Alright, go down. It¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t enter. If you can enter that show in front of Jun Shiling, that would be abnormal.¡±

    He thought that he would be reprimanded severely, but he did not expect Jiang Kui to not say anything. The captain had escaped death and was about to heave a sigh of relief when Jiang Kui spoke again.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been in this position for five years, right? Have you thought of moving up two levels?¡±

    The captain was stunned<i>. My current rank was actually already high enough. If he raised it two more levels¡­ God!</i>

    The captain became excited. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    He actually did not know who the person who had been talking to him was, but he knew that this person¡¯s ability was extraordinary and could be of great help to him.

    ¡°Go to the Yanyun Dam in the suburbs. Someone will pick you up there. As long as you do as he tells you, I guarantee that you will advance three levels in a row in a month.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± The captain was actually not stupid to be able to reach his current position. The greater the benefits, the greater the risk.

    The fact that this person could give such a huge bait meant that the risk was huge.

    However, he was willing to take this risk for the position of rising three levels in a row.

    Human greed was endless. When one knew that the difference between their hands was higher power, no one could resist this temptation.

    In the runway, Jun Shiling sat in front of the main controller and flipped through the scenes of the various stages.

    As the chief designer, not only did Xia Wanyuan have to be in charge of all the stage areas, but she also had to guide the models¡¯ actions.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was not around, there were always some people who were tempted.

    ¡°CEO Jun, do you need tea? I¡¯ll make you a cup.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up and saw a model in simple protective clothes standing in front of him.

    Being swept by Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze, the model blushed and puffed out her chest proudly.

    Jun Shiling did not speak. The model felt that there was an opportunity, so he said, ¡°Every time Miss Xia sits here, she will get the staff to make her a cup of tea.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°You addressed the wrong way.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The model was stunned.

    ¡°It¡¯s Madam Jun,¡± Jun Shiling emphasized word by word.

    ¡°¡­¡± The model understood what Jun Shiling meant and her face heated up. In addition, the others had already begun to notice her. She hurriedly fled.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan, who had gone to the runway to inspect, walked back and happened to see the female model escaping in a panic.

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re still so charming.¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand helplessly. ¡°Stop fooling around.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over. All the drills had basically ended. Xia Wanyuan told the staff to get off work through the main controller, then looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, let¡¯s go and rest.¡±

    Jun Shiling was not prepared to rest. He pulled Xia Wanyuan out.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little curious.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take you to see the stars.¡±

    Jun Shiling drove Xia Wanyuan up the mountain. Half an hourter, he stopped in front of a small house on the mountain.

    The two of them walked in. The roof was made of ss. When they looked up, they could see the stars in the sky.

    In the middle of the house was arge bed. Xia Wanyuany in it. The stars in the sky were big, as if she could reach out and touch them.

    ¡°Are you happy?¡± Jun Shiling reached out to cushion Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head and turned to look at her trembling eyshes.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s like the stars I saw when I was young.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was also very naughty when she was young. She often heard the teachers talk about all sorts of myths and felt that there must be immortals living on the stars in the sky. Hence, when her parents were resting at night, she would get the pce maids to help her climb the roof.

    At that time, the stars she saw were as bright and beautiful as what she saw now.

    However, the person beside her was not a maidservant, but Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan watched for a while before suddenly turning around and leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m sleepy. Thank you.¡±

    Jun Shiling hugged her. ¡°Thank you for what?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan rubbed against his chest. ¡°I¡¯m not telling you. Go to sleep.¡±

    The stars hung high in the sky, scattering gentle light, as if they had a gaze from a thousand years ago.

    At this moment, on the Yanyun Dam less than a kilometer away, two people were whispering sneakily.

    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m¡­¡±

    Before the captain could finish speaking, the person in the hat in front of him stopped him. ¡°I don¡¯t have to know who you are. You just have to help me work. When the timees, you can get whatever you want.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The captain looked around. The extinguished lights in the distance were terrifying. ¡°What exactly do you need me to do?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything else. You just have to sneak into that house. Do you see?¡± With that, the man in the hat pointed at a small house in front.

    ¡°Mm.¡± The captain nodded repeatedly.

    ¡°Tomorrow afternoon, sneak into that house and wait for my news. If I tell you to pull the switch, just pull the switch. You don¡¯t have to do anything else.¡±

    ¡°That simple??¡± The captain was a little stunned.?<i>Why was it different from what I had imagined??</i>

    ¡°It¡¯s that simple.¡± The man in the hat nced at the captain. ¡°Just do as you¡¯re told. Wealth and glory are in front of you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The captain did not suspect anything. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first. We¡¯ll meet here at this time tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After the captain left, the man in the hat took off his hat. It was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He made a call. ¡°That person is already here. Yes, okay.¡±

    After hanging up, the middle-aged man picked up his toolbox and walked into the darkness.

    When he met the patrolling personnel on the way, the patrolling personnel greeted him very familiarly. ¡°Uncle Li, you¡¯re the one checking and repairing today.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Old Yang is sick, right? I changed ces with him. I¡¯lle today and he¡¯lle tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Uncle Li, be careful. The lights in the dam area are not bright enough. Be careful.¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your concern. Be careful on your patrol. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After greeting each other, the two of them walked in opposite directions.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Beijing Hotel.

    ¡°Boss, many people have been investigating you recently.¡±

    Yu Qian held his wine ss and took a sip. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°This includes people from Jun Shiling¡¯s side.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s name, Yu Qian paused. ¡°Got it. You guys can leave first.¡±

    After all his subordinates retreated, Yu Qian picked up the information in front of him and looked at it for a while. He made a call. ¡°Prepare the ne tickets for the day after tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Jayce replied respectfully. ¡°Young Master Wei Zimu has already returned to the base.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Yu Qian replied calmly.

    After hanging up, Jayce bumped into Wei Zimu after taking two steps back.

    ¡°When is Yu Qianing back?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯ll be back the day after tomorrow. Young Master Wei, do you need to go out?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯m just taking a walk.¡± Wei Zimu walked slowly and casually nced at Jayce. ¡°Why? Do you have to care about this?¡±

    ¡°Of course not. You¡¯ve misunderstood.¡± Jayce hurriedly retreated and made way for Wei Zimu.

    In the Beijing Hotel, Yu Qian did not have any extra hobbies.

    When he was alone, he would sit quietly. However, today, he was in a rare mood and watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s online ss.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan say that she was about tounch Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion release, Yu Qian¡¯s fingers moved slightly as he sent Jayce an order.

    At the base, Jayce was stunned for a minute when he received Yu Qian¡¯s message.

    <i>What did he mean by allocating a hundred million yuan for Xiu Yi to promote???</i>

    <i>What was our boss thinking? What did Jun Shiling¡¯s wife¡¯s business have to do with us???</i>

    <i>Wasn¡¯t the boss and Jun Shiling sworn enemies?</i>

    However, Jayce did not dare to ask any more questions. He could only obediently follow Yu Qian¡¯s instructions.

    Hence, the press conference for Xiu Yi¡¯s new product, which was already very popr, suddenly increased a lot of publicity worldwide.

 Chapter 1217 - Slapping the World

    <h4>Chapter 1217: pping the World</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Initially, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had invested a lot of publicity fees for this fashion show. Now, there was suddenly so much more publicity.

    Instantly, the ¡°Xiu Yi Fashion Show¡± could be seen everywhere. Theizens sensitively sensed that someone was promoting it wantonly this time.

    [This advertisement is too much. I can even see this advertisement in a small vige in America. It¡¯s good to be rich.]

    [After all, she¡¯s the wife of the richest man. She has to keep up with her appearance. I wonder if she¡¯s that powerful.]

    [This over-marketing look is really annoying. It¡¯s fine if the quality of your fashion show can pass, but if the quality drops, won¡¯t you be embarrassed if you buy so many trending marketing topics?]

    Seeing this public opinion, Jayce was very excited when he called Yu Qian to report. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re indeed wise. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation is especially bad now.¡±

    Yu Qian did not speak and only shook his wine ss quietly.

    He had never felt that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fashion show would fail.

    <i>What did that woman not seed in???</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Time slowly passed. Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion show began at seven in the evening. From five in the afternoon, the live-stream of Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion show was already filled with audiences from all over the world.

    [Coming,ing. I¡¯m waiting. I just want to see if your bragging Xia Wanyuan is that amazing.]

    [I received countless notifications about this show on my phone today. This marketing is amazing.]

    [Give up. No matter how well you do, you can¡¯t do it better than Camellia. Camellia¡¯s show is the best.]

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already arrived at the show. The two of them were seriously regting the people present when Chen Yun suddenly came over with a letter.

    ¡°Wanyuan, the studio suddenly received an anonymous email today. It said it was for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to take it, but Jun Shiling stopped her. Jun Shiling stood up, picked up the letter, and took a look. He slowly opened it and only showed it to Xia Wanyuan after confirming that there was no problem.

    There were only three simple words on the letter.

    ¡°Yanyun Dam¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°What kind of ce is Yanyun Dam?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a dam a kilometer away from here,¡± Jun Shiling said in a low voice.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.?<i>Why did this person send me these three words??</i>

    Yanyun Dam¡­ Dam¡­ Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling seemed to have thought of the same answer.

    ¡°Stay here. I¡¯ll settle it.¡± With that, Jun Shiling left.

    Chen Yun was stunned. ¡°Wanyuan, why did CEO Jun leave? What happened to the Yanyun Dam?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Tell the staff to continue working.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Seeing Chen Yun leave, Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian. After exining some things, she calmed down and continued working.

    The sky gradually darkened and the moon began to climb the treetops.

    In Yanyun Dam, a ck figure was walking around a group of guards and heading towards the small house they had agreed on that day.

    Just as the mysterious person on the phone had said, at this time, all the people had been arranged and no one realized that he was secretly walking in.

    When he arrived at his destination, the captain shed into the house and carefully closed the door.

    This hut did not look big, but the space inside was not small. It was filled with all sorts of tools to repair the dam. In the middle of the room, there was a rusty gate.

    The captain could not understand what these things were for. He could only squat quietly at the side and wait for the other party to give him a message. Then, he could put down the floodgate and retreat.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling was bringing people over. The police officers in Beijing were also rmed, and arge number of people rushed over.

    The captain squatted in the house for a while and felt a little bored. Anyway, there were no windows in the house and no one could see him. He simply stood up and slowly flipped through the things in the house.

    Looking left and right, a book of blueprints suddenly fell from the cab. The captain picked it up and flipped through it. He was suddenly shocked.

    Looking at the map annotation on the blueprint, the captain turned to look at the old and rusty gate behind him and suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

    The Yanyun Dam was an old dam that had been there for many years. Although it had undergone new repairster on, there were still some projects that followed the old method.

    The gate in the hut he was in was rted to the key beam of a bridge hole in the dam.

    The captain seemed to be able to guess what would happenter.

    The Yanyun Dam was a rtivelyrge dam in the suburbs of Beijing that blocked the water of the Yanyun Reservoir.

    During this period of time, it was time to turn the upstream water into ice. The water in the reservoir had already exceeded the warning line.

    And Xia Wanyuan¡¯s field was coincidentally a kilometer downstream from the Yanyun Dam.

    Coincidentally, the field was at the mountain pass. The long and narrow mountain pass was a natural funnel that would gather all the water pressure.

    The captain swallowed his saliva. He could almost imagine the scene of a huge field being instantly drowned.

    Thinking of this, even though he was a police officer and had seen too many big scenes, his legs could not help but tremble, and his hands trembled so much that he could not even hold his notebook.

    Just as he was panicking, his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was an anonymous message.

    ¡°Pull the switch¡±

    The captain¡¯s hands trembled as he nced at the ordinary gate in front of him.

    Perhaps the other party did not expect that there was still a map book missing here, so they let him in so easily?

    However, now that he saw it, he was really afraid. He did not dare to imagine how many lives there were.

    The captain hesitated.

    However, he did not hesitate for long.

    A minuteter, another message was sent.

    ¡°Going back on your word? Call your wife and ask her if your son has returned home after school.¡±

    The captain¡¯s pupils dted. He hurriedly called home. On the other end of the line, his wife was extremely anxious.

    It turned out that their son was not home yet. Usually, he would have already started doing his homework at this time.

    ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t be anxious.¡± The captain pinched his thigh. ¡°I¡¯m still busy. I¡¯ll hang up first.¡±

    With that, he hung up and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll do it immediately. Let my son go.¡±

    ¡°Do as we say and your son will naturally be safe.¡±

    The captain clenched his fists. Even though he was filled with regret, it was useless.

    He braced himself and walked over, pulling down the gate in the middle.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, the sky was already dark. There were only five minutes before the opening of the show.

    After much publicity, not only were there domestic people watching the show, but there was also a live-stream channel on the Inte.

    Everyone looked at it for a long time, but they were filled with doubts.

    <i>Why was the screen still dark??? There were only five minutes left. Could it be that the lights would only be switched on when itpletely began? What kind of strange show was this??</i>

    Everyone waited. The show venue was still dark.

    Until the time was seven o¡¯clock, the show began.

    A huge fire suddenly burned in the sky. The audience was shocked and thought that there was a fire. They even called 119¡¯s phone number. At this moment, the camera changed and everyone saw that

    The raging mes burned in the air without any leverage. This was purely an effect made with high-tech special effects.

    A golden dragon and a phoenix emerged from the mes.

    The golden dragon roared and the phoenix spread its wings. They flew out of the mes and soared in the sky, as if the entire world was ruled by them. After flying to the highest sky, they suddenly turned around and intertwined, forming a beautiful scene of a dragon and phoenix in the sky.

    The mes gradually fused into their bodies, and then the dragon and phoenix gradually hid in the darkness.

    The word ¡°Xiu Yi¡± appeared in midair through the 3D special effects.

    Thements were already stunned.

    [ This¡­ Is this the opening? Wow, wow, is it so domineering?? Awesome. ]

    [I saw money burning with this special effect. As expected, it¡¯s good to be rich. It doesn¡¯t hurt to burn money.]

    [This opening is something. I¡¯m suddenly looking forward to this show. What¡¯s going on?]

    Not only were the audience in the live-stream shocked, but the others who were paying attention to this show were also shocked.

    Jiang Kui nced at the television, displeasure shing across his eyes. ¡°Is it done?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we have his son in our hands. He doesn¡¯t dare not to do as we say. I heard from the people over there that the gate has been lowered.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Only then did Jiang Kui stand up in relief. His gaze swept across the runway that was gradually lit up and he sneered. ¡°No matter how well it¡¯s done, I¡¯ll destroy it all for you today.¡±

    After the word ¡°Xiu Yi¡± appeared, fireworks began to explode.

    Sparkling like flowers, thousands of fireworks covered the entire world and exploded in the sky as if they were free.

    The ck acids seized the opportunity and were about to criticize it for not being environmentally friendly when the camera changed.?<i>Oh, so it was a special effect.</i>

    <i>F*ck</i>, the haters wiped their tears.?<i>So what if you¡¯re rich? You even used special effects to make fireworks.?</i>

    The camera was looking down.

    No cameras flew into the sky, and the lights in the entire venue gradually lit up.

    When the lights gradually lit up, everyone could clearly see that this show venue was actually in the shape of the entire China. Even an ind was not missed.

    The camera jumped down andnded on the first show.

    This was a towering pce. There were thousands of bright lights, and the pce was towering, revealing a solemnity. Ancient music sounded, and a woman in a skirt walked out.

    Walking through the long corridor, the carved pce, and the long stone steps,

    In the light dance, she walked into another show.

    This show venue had green bricks and white tiles, and it was misty in Jiangnan.

    Through high-tech special effects, flowers bloomed like brocade, fish yed with lotus leaves, and models wore ancient clothes and held oil-paper umbres. The air seemed to be moist from the rain.

    The audience was clearly sitting in front of the screen, but it was as if they could reach out and touch the lotus flower inside.

    The light shone on the models. On the exquisite dress, the embroidered butterflies wanted to fly.

    The models walked across the limestone bridge and the misty rain.

    They walked into the next show. This was the kingdom of the sea.

    The underwater world created by special effects was sparkling. The models were wearing the clothes of ancient fishermen who lived by the sea and walked on the runway like mermaids. The fish swam around them.

    ¡­¡­.

    From one runway to another, the scene changed as if time had passed. The models changed, and what did not change was the great beauty of the eyes.

    Unknowingly, more than ten scenes had been changed.

    A woman in a cheongsam swayed her waist. From the mes of war, she walked to a beautiful stage.

    This runway was where Xiu Yi¡¯s new product was released this summer.

    Today¡¯s show could be said to have used technology to the extreme.

    The audience could see the flowers gradually open their petals, the water gurgling, and the birds pping their wings.

    Just as everyone was drunk on this beautiful stage scene, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao walked out side by side.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s design leaned towards a simple and bright style.

    At this moment, she was wearing a light green short dress. The crisp color made her look full of vitality. An Rao, who was beside her, had the same style. She wore a different style of ck short dress with different embroidery.

    After they walked out, models gradually appeared.

    The audience watched quietly and realized that these designs seemed a little simr.

    [ Wow, were some elements borrowed from previous traditional clothes??? I saw the pattern on the dress in the first show being used on Xiu Yi¡¯s new product. ]

    [ As someone who specializes in studying the evolution of ancient clothes, do you know? The many clothes in front actually exist in history. As a person who studies history, I feel so touched. Xia Wanyuan has really put in the effort. ]

    [ So awesome? She borrowed so many ancient elements. Why don¡¯t I feel old-fashioned at all? Instead, I feel that the clothes are especially beautiful. Is this the big shot? Please ept my knee. ]

    Just as the audience had seen, Xia Wanyuan had added many traditional elements to the new summer product, but she had very well neutralized the boundary between ancient and modern.

    Not only would it not make one feel old-fashioned, but it would also make one feel beautiful and novel.

    As for the traditional Country Han clothes that the Han fashion team was so proud of the day before, they were fully reflected in this show.

    After the show ended, the entire Inte was discussing Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion show.

    The main thing was that it was too eye-catching.

    Those constantly changing scenes were actually copies of the most beautiful ssic ces in the area. The pce, the broken bridge, the Qinhuai River, the West Lake willows, and the desert yellow sand.

    This was not just a simple background. It was almost so beautiful that people who saw it had a strong urge to experience it themselves.

    There were more than four hundred sets of clothes, and every set was actually different. Every set contained a huge meaning. Some followed history, some came from famous paintings, and some came from myths. Any set could be looked at and talked about for a long time.

    With the traditional clothing exhibition so eye-catching, Xiu Yi¡¯s summer products were not ignored.

    In order to enter the international market, Xia Wanyuan had made some changes when designing the clothes this time, incorporating a portion of the foreign aesthetic elements.

    Reality proved that her change was very sessful. Just as the new summer product was released, it received an extremely good response. Orders from all over the world almost filled the entire Xiu Yi.

    Not to mention that the new products that followed the traditional style and faced the domestic market had been released and the reservation list was already full.

    After a night, she finallypleted this matter. Xia Wanyuan stretched and took out her phone to call Jun Shiling.

    He had been out since the show and there had been no news from him until now.

    When he received Xia Wanyuan¡¯s call, Jun Shiling was standing on the Yanyun Dam. Under the dam he was standing on, a group of people were working hard to repair it.

    Two hours ago, Jun Shiling rushed to the Yanyun Dam. Once the order to search the scene was sent, the ce was sealed.

    Half a month ago, the patrolling personnel here had discovered a safety hazard in the dam, but they hid it and did not report it to the higher-ups. After investigation, the professionals locked onto the location of a certain bridge hole and stopped the other party¡¯s further actions in time.

    As for the captain in charge of pulling down the valve, at thest second, he gave up on pulling down the valve.

    After receiving Xia Wanyuan¡¯s call, Jun Shiling gestured to his subordinate and walked to the side. ¡°Is it over smoothly?¡±

    ¡°Mm, where are you?¡± Xia Wanyuan rubbed her arms. She was still quite tired after a busy night.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back in fifteen minutes. Wait for me.¡± Jun Shiling hung up and rushed to the show.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair to rest. The staff had already left one after another. This show was very sessful. Xia Wanyuan got Chen Yun to prepare red packets for everyone. Everyone took the red packets and left happily.

    After Xiu Yi¡¯s show ended, its poprity could be described as ¡°sweeping the world¡±.

    It was not only these clothes that were popr, but also those unknown models.

    At first, everyone expressed their confusion and even mocked Xia Wanyuan for choosing models from ordinary people. However, only after the show ended did everyone understand why Xia Wanyuan had chosen these models.

    International big-name models indeed knew how to perfectly show themselves in front of the camera, but this was a disy of traditional Chinese clothes. No matter how professional international big-name models were, they did not have the charm of the Chinese themselves.

    The close image of the models and the actual wearers could maximize the beauty of the clothes.

    Theizens focused on studying these models and were also attracted by the gorgeous special effects of this show. When theizens found the backstage studio that provided the stage and lighting special effects, they realized that

    The lighting effects and stage disy this time were actually allpleted by the special effects studio led by Xia Wanyuan.

    [Really?? Didn¡¯t HS Studio poach many of the core talents of this studio? Why is it still so amazing now? Did they recruit more talentster?]

    [ My brother works there. I can tell you very responsibly that the studio doesn¡¯t recruit new people. Instead, they nurture students like my brother who have just graduated as experts. I can only say that the studio is amazing. The sry they offer is unimaginable, but my brother and the rest didn¡¯t let Xia Wanyuan down. ]

    [The charm is amazing. To be honest, the special effects this time are really good. Who said that we all have 50 cents worth of special effects? We¡¯re clearly skilled and aesthetic the entire time.]

    There was a heated discussion both domestically and abroad. The one whose face was pped the most was naturally the joint team of the fashion industry in Country Han.

    After all, the day before, they had publicly announced to the world that China¡¯s traditional clothes were borrowed from Han Country¡¯s traditional clothes.

    And now, Xia Wanyuan had directly brought China¡¯s five thousand years of history to the show. As long as one was not blind, they could tell who had borrowed from whom.

    The Inte was filled with mockery, so theizens of Country Han were naturally furious. Inparison, the Chineseizens were overjoyed.

    Back then, everyone was extremely disgusted by Country Han¡¯s actions of stealing cultural heritage. Now, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.

    [ Now, the Han people should know who their father is, right?? How dare you show off your unpresentable things? You even said that Chinese clothes borrowed from you. Pui, do you dare toe out and take two steps now? ]

    [ Isn¡¯t that what Han Country is like? Steal it first. If you¡¯re discovered after stealing, pretend that nothing happened. ]

    Some Hanizens wanted to argue with Chineseizens, but before they could finish speaking, they were scolded by the controversializens of other countries.

    The Chineseizens were ted.<i>?In the past, no one believed me no matter how hard I tried. Now, after a fashion show, foreignizens have spontaneously be China¡¯s braggart. As expected, ability is the best way to shut the haters up.?</i>

    In the show, when Jun Shiling returned, Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep leaning back in her chair.

    Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up. Xia Wanyuan already trusted Jun Shiling very much. She did not wake up even when she was carried out of the show and back to the car.

    It was only when the car entered the city and the light outside the window swept in that Xia Wanyuan slowly woke up. She did not open her eyes and only rubbed against the familiar smell.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart itched from her rubbing. He reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyshes fluttered. ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with the Yanyun Dam, right?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all settled. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Jun Shiling said as he gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep again.

    At this moment, at the Beijing airport, a ne was parked in the middle. Two teams of men in ck stopped on both sides and waited for Yu Qian to return.

    Five minutes before departure, Yu Qian finally appeared at the door.

    He had more than twenty luggage behind him. The staff was a little surprised. They had never seen a big shot bring so much luggage out.

    The staff opened the box for security checks. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the luggage was neither jewelry nor daily necessities. Instead, it was filled with clothes. The style of these clothes was the same as what was disyed at Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion show just now.

    The staff would not invade his privacy. After checking, they returned Yu Qian and he boarded the ne with all the boxes.

    On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, the car had already returned to the manor, but Xia Wanyuan still looked sleepy. Jun Shiling patted her gently. ¡°We¡¯re home.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied, ¡°I don¡¯t want to move.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled and picked Xia Wanyuan up horizontally.

    When she returned to the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan was already extremely tired. She could only get Jun Shiling to help her shower.

    Jun Shiling was very happy with this rare benefit. However, as he washed, Xia Wanyuan was no longer sleepy.

    Amidst the pattering water, Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling angrily and helplessly. ¡°Beast.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling was righteous. However, halfway through his actions, Jun Shiling suddenly thought of something. He took a towel and wiped Xia Wanyuan clean before carefully carrying her to the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.?<i>Has he changed today? I¡¯ve never seen Jun Shiling endure and not touch me.</i>

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan seriously and carefully. ¡°Baby, you seem to have passed the date for this month¡¯s period, right? Could you be pregnant?¡±

 Chapter 1219 - The Princess is Pregnant

    <h4>Chapter 1219: The Princess is Pregnant</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Jun Shiling¡¯s words stunned Xia Wanyuan. Her eyes widened slightly. ¡°No way?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s actions became very careful. He sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I? Have you forgotten that during this period of time, we¡­¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan had already covered Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth shyly.

    In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s posture, Jun Shiling kissed her palm. ¡°Baby, I¡¯ll get Shen Xiu toe and show you.¡±

    Hence, at one in the morning, Shen Xiu yawned and got out of bed.

    Just as he walked to the living room, he saw his sister lying on the sofa and pretending to be dead.

    Shen Xiu walked over and kicked her. ¡°Go back to your room and sleep. If you y with your phone until sote at night, I¡¯ll cut your pocket money in half.¡±

    Shen Xing opened her eyes with a smile. ¡°Brother, where are you going sote at night? Which capitalist dares to exploit you like this?¡±

    Shen Xiu nced at Shen Xing. ¡°I¡¯ll count to three.¡±

    Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xing had already scrambled away. Shen Xiu yawned and left.

    Half an hourter, Shen Xiu arrived at the manor. Uncle Wang was already waiting at the door.

    ¡°Is Madam not feeling well?¡± Shen Xiu did not even ask about Jun Shiling. After all, he knew that if Jun Shiling was sick, he would probably hold it in and it would pass. Only when Xia Wanyuan was sick would Jun Shiling go through so much trouble.

    ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with Madam. Go and take a look.¡± With that, Uncle Wang brought Shen Xiu into the house.

    In the living room, Xia Wanyuany tightly wrapped in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Shen Xiuined in his heart.?<i>It¡¯s sote at night. This dog food is too much.</i>

    Shen Xiu walked over. ¡°Madam, where are you feeling unwell?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s been very sleepy recently. See if there¡¯s a problem.¡± Jun Shiling did not dare to have much hope and only said briefly.

    Shen Xiu walked over to check on Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s was a little sweaty. Xia Wanyuan was a little amused.<i>?I¡¯m not even nervous. Why is Jun Shiling so nervous?</i>

    Jun Shiling kept staring at Shen Xiu. Seeing that Shen Xiu¡¯s expression did not change, Jun Shiling seemed to have an answer in his heart. He was a little disappointed.

    Shen Xiu took a long time to check. After two full rounds, Shen Xiu put down Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wrist and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Congrattions, CEO Jun. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s going to be another little life in this manor.¡±

    Jun Shiling originally did not harbor any hope at all. He was tidying Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes when he suddenly heard Shen Xiu¡¯s words. Jun Shiling thought that he had heard wrongly.

    His head snapped up. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    There was a smile on Shen Xiu¡¯s face. He repeated patiently, ¡°I said, congrattions, CEO Jun. Madam is pregnant.¡±

    Hearing Shen Xiu¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan was a little stunned. She nced at her stomach and looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was not the calm andposed person he usually was at all. He looked at Shen Xiu in a daze, as if he was in a trance.

    Shen Xiu added, ¡°It¡¯s still very young. It¡¯s only two months. Fortunately, you were more attentive today. Otherwise, it would have taken a while to tell.¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling had been stunned, Xia Wanyuan gently tugged at his sleeve.

    Only then did Jun Shilinge back to his senses. He waved his hand. ¡°Go back first and get Uncle Wang to give you a bonus.¡±

    With the bonus in hand, Shen Xiu specially instructed her many more things before leaving happily.

    In the living room, Xia Wanyuan waited for a long time, but Jun Shiling did not speak to her. Xia Wanyuan was helpless. She kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, can youe back to your senses?¡±

    Jun Shiling turned around and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes. He reached under the nket and gently touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Here, our daughter is here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel Jun Shiling¡¯s joy. She nodded, her eyes curved up. ¡°Are you happy?¡±

    Jun Shiling was more than happy. He felt that his heart was filled with honey.

    At the thought that in a while, a beautiful little cutie like him and Xia Wanyuan would appear in this world, Jun Shiling was so happy that he wanted to pluck the stars and give them to her.

    Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up carefully, as if he was afraid of touching her.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had never given birth, she knew that it was only two months ago. The baby was probably still as big as a germ and could not be touched at all. Jun Shiling was making a mountain out of a molehill.

    Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan back to the bedroom and ced her under the nket. Then, he gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°Sleep quickly. You have to rest well. My daughter is going to sleep too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re too much.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sleep quickly. I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan touched her stomach and felt that it was a little magical. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m very happy too.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling leaned over and exchanged a kiss with Xia Wanyuan.

    They could feel the substantial joy in each other¡¯s warmth.

    In the end, before the gun went off, Jun Shiling pressed Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Alright, stop provoking me. Goodnight, my big baby and little baby.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    <i>Jun Shiling was too childish tonight, but he was also too cute.</i>

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan wanted to go downstairs herself. Jun Shiling refused to let her go down herself and insisted on carrying her all the way to the dining table.

    Although the servants in the manor had already eaten dog food too many times, everyone¡¯s expressions were still very interesting when they saw this scene early in the morning.

    Xiao Bao was secretly eating buns. Seeing Jun Shiling walk over, he ced a small bite of the meat bun back on the te and pretended that nothing had happened.

    However, to his surprise, Jun Shiling did not notice Xiao Bao at all. All his attention was on Xia Wanyuan, as if she was a ss doll that would shatter with a touch.

    Xiao Bao secretly took a bite of the meat bun and then another bite. Jun Shiling still did not notice him.

    Xiao Bao was relieved. He took a big bite and the fragrance of meat filled the air.

    ¡°You¡¯re only allowed to eat half of it, and then you can only eat vegetarian buns.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly turned around, scaring Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao puffed up his face and poked with his index finger, sending thest piece of bun into his mouth. After chewing it, he looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, you said it toote. I¡¯ve already finished eating!¡±

    Jun Shiling unclenched his fists.?<i>Forget it, on ount of today¡¯s happy asion, I won¡¯t argue with him.</i>

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was not fierce to him, it was Xiao Bao¡¯s turn to be puzzled. ¡°Daddy, why didn¡¯t you scold me?¡±

 Chapter 1220 - CEO Jun Is Overly Anxious

    <h4>Chapter 1220: CEO Jun Is Overly Anxious</h4>

    Jun Shiling was busy peeling eggs for Xia Wanyuan and had no time to care about Xiao Bao.

    It was Xiao Bao¡¯s turn to be curious. He jumped down from the chair and stopped eating his favorite pan-fried bun. He leaned towards Jun Shiling with a pair of ck grape-like eyes. ¡°Daddy, why aren¡¯t you scolding me anymore?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao speechlessly, but when he met his wet eyes and fair and chubby face, his expression softened. ¡°Go back and eat.¡±

    ¡°No, Daddy, why aren¡¯t you scolding me today? This isn¡¯t like you anymore.¡± Xiao Bao blinked.

    ¡°...¡± Jun Shiling ced his chopsticks on the table with a bang. ¡°Do you want to be beaten up?¡±

    !!

    Xiao Bao¡¯s chubby face trembled in fear as he looked pitifully at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, Daddy is fierce to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and red at Jun Shiling. ¡°You scared him.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling grabbed Xiao Bao¡¯s cor and pulled him back. ¡°Don¡¯t bump into your mother.¡±

    Xiao Bao was indignant. ¡°I didn¡¯t. I¡¯m very obedient. Daddy, let go of me.¡±

    Xiao Bao struggled in Jun Shiling¡¯s hands. Jun Shiling could not stand him anymore. He finally lowered his head and whispered something into Xiao Bao¡¯s ear.

    Xiao Bao immediately stopped struggling. His eyes lit up as he looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. He carefully leaned towards her. ¡°Mommy, are you really going to give birth to a sister for me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Are you happy?¡±

    Xiao Bao was more than happy. <i>I wish I could pluck the stars from the sky and y with them for my sister!!! </i>

    ¡°I¡¯m super happy!!¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes sparkled. He did not dare to move and could only hug his hand excitedly. ¡°I¡¯m going to have a sister!! A cute and beautiful sister!!!¡±

    The entire house was filled with Xiao Bao¡¯s happyughter.

    Now, the baby in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach was still an embryo that was not even the size of a grain of rice, but Xia Wanyuan felt that she had already been treated as a key animal by Jun Shiling and the rest.

    After dinner, Xia Wanyuan wanted to go to the production team to see the post-production progress, but Jun Shiling pulled her to thepany.

    In the Jun Corporation¡¯s office, Xia Wanyuan was curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a nket and holding a thermos in her hand. She looked like an olddy in her seventies or eighties.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Xia Wanyuan was bored.

    However, just as she called out, Jun Shiling looked up. ¡°No.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I haven¡¯t said anything. Why no?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked over. ¡°Anyway, you can¡¯t do anything. Your current mission is to stay well and not mess around.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°CEO Jun, are you very anxious??¡±

    Jun Shiling tacitly agreed. He was indeed very anxious.

    As she was looking forward to it too much, she was especially anxious.

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Look at An Rao. She can still get married with such a big stomach. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his eyes and did not speak. No matter how one looked at him, he looked aggrieved.

    Xia Wanyuan was helpless. Before she could feel wronged, Jun Shiling felt wronged first. ¡°CEO Jun, I still have a lot of work. I¡¯ll be fine. At most, you can send someone to protect me, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling still did not speak, so Xia Wanyuan could only coax him for a long time. Jun Shiling finally agreed to let her go out, and in exchange, Xia Wanyuan had ten bodyguards by her side.

    China had always announced good news more than three monthster. As a pure ancient, Xia Wanyuan did not particrly believe in these customs.

    However, now, any movement could rm Jun Shiling. He believed this very much, so other than the doctor and Xiao Bao, everyone else was hidden in the dark. Even Old Master Jun did not know that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant.

    Hence, Chen Yun and Lu Li were shocked when they saw Xia Wanyuan walk over. The dozen or so tall bodyguards flustered them.

    ¡°Wanyuan, why are you so scary today?¡± Chen Yun handed the document to Xia Wanyuan and nced curiously at the bodyguards.

    Xia Wanyuan held her forehead helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s all because of Jun Shiling.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the bodyguards outside the door made way. Jun Shiling¡¯s tall figure appeared at the door.

    ]¡±Why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan was simply convinced by Jun Shiling. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just leave?¡±

    Jun Shiling walked over, followed by Lin Jing, who was smilingmercially. Lin Jing was holding Jun Shiling¡¯s office documents.

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Do your thing. I¡¯ll apany you here. I¡¯m worried.¡±

    Chen Yun and Lu Li were stunned.

    <i>Can you be more clingy?? Isn¡¯t it justing out to work?? CEO Jun, aren¡¯t you going too far? Can you consider our feelings?</i>

    However, no one dared to say these words. They could only stand silently at the side and watch Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan show off their love.

    On the other hand, Lin Jing looked at Xia Wanyuan thoughtfully.

    <i>Jun Shiling was very clingy to Xia Wanyuan, but he had never wished he could follow her 24 hours a day like now. Could it be? </i>Lin Jing¡¯s eyes flickered behind his sses.

    Other than wanting to be with Xia Wanyuan in the studio, Jun Shiling was worried about her going to school alone.

    When the two of them held hands and walked in from the school gate, a teacher with a big stomach who was probably eight to nine months old was walking out briskly. She was holding textbooks in her hand and it was obvious that she had juste out of ss.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at herself again. She was so restrained by Jun Shiling that she was almost no different from an old man taking a walk. She pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Look at her, then look at me. We¡¯re too careful.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not think much of it. ¡°That¡¯s because her husband doesn¡¯t dote on her. I dote on you.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan was really helpless and could only let Jun Shiling do whatever he wanted.

    Hence, on this day, all the teachers and students of Qing University ate their fill of dog food.

    After Xia Wanyuan left after ss, she and Jun Shiling became trending on Weibo.

    ¡°I want to ask CEO Jun and Xia Wanyuan if they¡¯re going to stuff us to death? What are these two doing? They weren¡¯t so clingy in the past?? You didn¡¯t see CEO Jun being careful for Xia Wanyuan. I feel that when a Level 2 wind blows, CEO Jun will be worried that his wife will be blown away.¡±

    [Hahaha, I¡¯m from Qing University. CEO Jun is really amazing to appear and give an exnation. You didn¡¯t see it. Professor Xia got off the podium and CEO Jun wanted to help him. CEO Jun only stopped after Professor Xia red at him.]

    [CEO Jun is taking care of her so carefully. Could Professor Xia have a baby?]

    [ The person in front, how is that possible? Just casually search for Professor Xia¡¯s photo today. That small waist. Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. I feel that I¡¯m equivalent to three of her. ]

    In Continent F, just as the nended, a staff member stepped forward and handed the document to Yu Qian. Yu Qian took a look and a cold glint shed across his eyes. ¡°Let them wait.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Back at the base, Yu Qian called Wei Zimu over.

    Two simr faces, but they hadpletely different temperament. However, in this underground base that did not see sunlight all year round, the light on Wei Zimu seemed to have dimmed a little.

    ¡°Do you want me to contact the Chu family?¡± Wei Zimu walked over and acutely sensed that Yu Qian was not in a good mood.

    This made Wei Zimu feel very strange. ording to his interaction with Yu Qian during this period of time, Yu Qian had never had any emotional fluctuations. Even he could feel his obvious anger today.

    ¡°No.¡± Yu Qian sat on the chair and stroked the ring with his finger. ¡°Go to America.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Wei Zimu was a little puzzled.

    ¡°Just go if I tell you to. Someone will naturally pick you up when you get there.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s set off now.¡±

    Wei Zimu did not say anything. To him, being able to leave this base was already a good thing. As for where to go, he did not need to choose.

    After Wei Zimu left, Yu Qian rubbed his eyebrows, looking very tired.

    ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t you go and rest?¡± Jayce boldly went forward and asked.

    ¡°No need.¡± Yu Qian stood up. ¡°Where¡¯s Sea Shark? Let him see me.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    At the airport, Wei Zimu was quickly sent to the ne to America.

    No one dared to hesitate at Yu Qian¡¯s order.

    The signals in the underground base were all blocked and special signals were used. Now that he came out again and looked at the white clouds outside the window, Wei Zimu actually felt that it was unreal.

    He took out his phone that he had not used in a long time. The moment he turned it on, a few messages popped up.

    It was from Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Are you okay abroad?¡±

    ¡°Happy birthday. Take care of yourself.¡±

    Looking at the ¡°Happy Birthday¡±, Wei Zimu could not help but feel sour and bitter.

    In this world, other than Xia Wanyuan, there shouldn¡¯t be anyone else who would send him a blessing on his birthday.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan had just sent the message when Jun Shiling reached out and took her phone away. ¡°The phone has radiation. Look less.¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling, to think that you have electronics and digital businesses under your name. That trace of radiation doesn¡¯t affect you much at all. Return my phone to me.¡±

    Jun Shiling put his phone aside and walked forward to gag Xia Wanyuan with a cherry. ¡°Shut up and listen to me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan really could not do anything to Jun Shiling.

    At that moment, the notification of a text message sounded. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°It¡¯s Wei Zimu who replied to me, right? Bring it over for me to see.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling took the phone with a dark expression and read it out word by word. ¡°Thank you, Sister Wanyuan. You have to take good care of your health too. I often miss you.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s message, Xia Wanyuan felt a little sad. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Have you found out? What¡¯s Yu Qian¡¯s identity?¡±

    <i>This person was too strange.?</i>

    Speaking of Yu Qian, Jun Shiling had temporarily forgotten about being angry with Xia Wanyuan. A hint of unnoticeable heaviness appeared in his eyes. ¡°I haven¡¯t found out yet. I¡¯ve already set him as a key surveince target.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan had been very sleepy recently. It was probably the special reaction of pregnant people. After saying a few words, Xia Wanyuan was sleepy and nestled in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling pulled a nket over her and a rare look of worry appeared on his face.

    It was true that they had not found Yu Qian¡¯s true information, but they could clearly find Yu Qian¡¯s recent whereabouts.

    It was so clear that it was as if this information had been specially prepared for them to investigate.

    ording to the information over the past few days, after Yu Qian arrived in China, he first went to the Lin family to see Lin Qingyuan, then interacted with Chu Yi. In the end, after watching Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion show press conference, Chu Yi disappeared from China.

    ]His appearance was very mysterious and he left very suddenly, making it impossible to figure out the pattern.

    In order to make it easier to take care of Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling got someone to invite a few top international experts to live in the manor and be in charge of taking care of Xia Wanyuan 24 hours a day.

    Xia Wanyuan, this overprotected panda, after getting the experts to repeatedly promise Jun Shiling that there would be no problem as long as she did not do strenuous exercise and that pregnant women needed appropriate exercise, Jun Shiling finally agreed to let Xia Wanyuan go to work normally.

    The special effects of the previous fashion press conference was not only a huge challenge, but also a test for the new studio¡¯s special effects team.

    They simply passed the challenge.

    Furthermore, in the process of working together toplete such a huge fashion press conference, the tacit understanding between the employees had improved unprecedentedly.

    After the press conference ended, the progress and skills of the entire studio clearly surpassed them by arge margin.

    Now that the post-production special effects of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had already entered the right track, what Xia Wanyuan had to do was to check on them every day and give the studio some guidance suggestions.

    During this period of time, Director Charon¡¯s ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± had also made a lot of money and jumped to the thirdrgest box office in the history of the world¡¯s movies.

    With such a high box office as support, the entire production team was confident.

    Coincidentally, during this period of time, the Xiu Yi fashion press conference led by Xia Wanyuan had be especially popr on the Inte. Some anti-Chinese actors in ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± would mention Xia Wanyuan on their social tforms from time to time.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fashion show is quite sessful. I wonder if her movie can be equally sessful? I¡¯m looking forward to seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie surpass our ¡®Starry Sky Journey¡¯ one day.¡±

    [ For a moment, I can¡¯t guess if you¡¯re praising someone or scolding someone?? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°Eldest Princess¡± can surpass the starry sky journey. ]

    [The person in front, you don¡¯t understand. There¡¯s definitely no problem with China¡¯s box office top ten. Look at how many shares of the Jun Corporation there are in the theater. Jun Shiling will definitely crazily arrange screenings for his wife¡¯s movie.]

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The box office of ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± was still rising, and even Su Yueran¡¯s status had increased a lot.

    Although there were many fans supporting Xia Wanyuan, they could not stop the international negativements about ¡°Eldest Princess¡± that had not been released.

    The international film industry, which had always been closed to the Chinese film market, wished they couldpletely eliminate Chinese movies from the international film industry.

    On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, she finally passed the first three months of her pregnancy after living like a panda every day.

    Jun Shiling finally could not hold it in anymore and wanted to announce this good news to the world.

    The first to learn of this news were An Rao and Bo Xiao. When they heard that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant, if not for Bo Xiao stopping her, An Rao would not even want to go through confinement and would havee to look for Xia Wanyuan directly.

    ¡°Sister!!! I¡¯m booking it! Child betrothal! The little princess in your stomach is my daughter-inw!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at her t stomach and was a little amused.

    <i>Why did everyone ce their hopes of giving birth to a daughter on me?</i>

    Old Master Jun was also very happy to hear the news, but he was gathering with hisrades at the ce where he had been a soldier back then and could not rush back for the time being. He instructed Jun Shiling to give Xia Wanyuan a set of antiques that had been passed down in his courtyard as a gift.

    As for the public, Jun Shiling wanted to announce it, but he was stopped by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to work and be watched like a panda.¡±

    Jun Shiling could only give up.

    The days advanced. Everything was peaceful and harmonious. On the weekends, An Rao and Bo Xiao would bring the child to the manor to gather.

    Xiao Qingli grew very quickly. He was no longer as wrinkled as when he was just born. Now, Xiao Qingli had red lips and white teeth. His round eyes had inherited An Rao¡¯s traits, and his facial features had Bo Xiao¡¯s shadow.

    With a nce, one knew that more than ten yearster, he would be a young man who would be popr among thousands of girls.

    Ever since Xiao Qingli¡¯s facial features had grown, Xiao Bao liked this younger brother even more. He abandoned his favorite Ultra toys and took care of his younger brother wholeheartedly.

    On this day, An Rao and Bo Xiao left the manor after dinner. Jun Shiling was massaging Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders.

    Spring thunder rumbled, and the rain hit the window.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were talking when Uncle Wang walked in. ¡°Madam, there¡¯s someone outside who wants to look for you. It¡¯s a girl.¡±

    ¡°Did she say who she was?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    Puzzlement shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then bring her over.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Not long after, Uncle Wang led a person in a raincoat in. This person lowered her head and the wide hat covered her. Only her ck hair and face could be seen.

    ¡°You are?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked.

    The person pulled off his hat, revealing a charming face.

    It was Feng Wuyou, who should be on her honeymoon with Chu Yi in Continent F.

    However, at this moment, there was no joy of a honeymoon on her. Instead, she was silent, and the light in her eyes seemed to have dimmed.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Jun. I don¡¯t know who to look for. I¡¯m sorry to disturb you.¡± Feng Wuyou was so polite and distant that she did not look like the once bright and ostentatious person.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling tightened his grip on her waist. Xia Wanyuan understood and naturally changed the topic. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You don¡¯t know anyone in China. Stay here first. Have you eaten?¡±

    Feng Wuyou shook her head.

    ¡°Uncle Wang, please prepare dinner and a room for Miss Feng.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Feng Wuyou forced a smile, but her expression seemed even uglier than crying.

    With that, Uncle Wang brought Feng Wuyou to the guest room at the back. The chef had prepared dinner for her from the moment he received the order.

    After Feng Wuyoupletely left the main building, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    During this period of time, she had been busy with the movie and did not pay much attention to other things.

    Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan sit down. ¡°The Feng family had broken up.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan was really shocked this time.

    As far as she knew, the Feng family was a very important family in Continent M.<i>?How could they be broken up just like that??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan thought of Feng Wuyou¡¯s change and her actions ofing ale at night. A bad guess appeared in her heart. ¡°Is it rted to the Chu family?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±

    He could even be 100% sure that Chu Yi was the number one nner for the Feng family¡¯s copse.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was still a little puzzled, Jun Shiling exined patiently, ¡°The Feng family has left China for a long time. It¡¯s a habit of theirs for the son to inherit any assets. Feng Wuyou is the only sessor of the Feng family.¡±

    Chu Yi obtained the trust of Feng Wuyou and the Feng family and easily obtained many core information about the Feng family.

    It was only after the Feng family copsed that everyone understood.

    The Chu family was no longer satisfied with expanding their power in Continent F. Their gazes had long been fixed on the Feng family.

    However, no one expected Chu Yi to be so ruthless. After more than a month of marriage, the Feng familypletely copsed and the Chu family¡¯s powerpletely took over the Feng family¡¯s assets.

    Chu Yi used the Feng family¡¯s blood to pave the way for the Chu family¡¯s development in Continent M as quickly as possible.

    Xia Wanyuan knew very well the cruelty of family struggles, but she still despised Chu Yi¡¯s actions.

    After all, they had attended the wedding more than a month ago and watched Feng Wuyou marry the man she loved with shining eyes.

    But now, in just a month, the light in Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes had been personally extinguished.

    However, now, what Xia Wanyuan was most worried about was not Feng Wuyou. What she was considering was, ¡°The Chu family using such a forceful method to squeeze into America will definitely cause a hugemotion.¡±

    After all, the Feng family had been operating in America for a long time. The fall of such arge family involved thousands of interest groups.

    ¡°Let them do whatever they want.¡± Jun Shiling patted the back of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Even if something happens, I¡¯m still standing in front. You don¡¯t have to worry about me as a pregnant woman.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, but seeing the drizzle outside the window, she inexplicably felt a little suffocated.

    At night, after Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling made a call.

    The other party reported Chu Yi¡¯s whereabouts and dynamics to Jun Shiling. After Jun Shiling gave a few orders, he was about to leave the study when an urgent encrypted message popped up on the table.

    Jun Shiling clicked on it and his eyes darkened.

    The information showed that

    ¡°Mr. Blue¡¯s will has been exposed. Xia Wanyuan has be Mr. Blue¡¯s designated sessor.¡±

    At the same time, all the major media outlets in the world fought to report this news.

    Everyone watched themotion in shock.

    However, to the entire Blue family, it was like a huge wave had risen on the ground.

    Everyone in the Blue family could not believe it when they saw the will in Fang Jin¡¯s hand.

    However, with the most professional fair team in the world present, everyone knew that this was not fake.

    Everyone had long heard that Mr. Blue had a daughter left behind in China, but no one expected him to really pass the entire family business to her.

    ¡°Mother, what should we do?¡± Li Na looked at the noblewoman beside her. ¡°Xia Wanyuan is not a member of our Blue family at all! Why should she inherit this family?¡±

    Lin Man¡¯s eyes were filled with sadness and indelible jealousy. ¡°He always thinks of that woman. No matter how much I did for him, he never considered me.¡±

    After a while, Lin Man pulled herself out of her sadness and looked at Li Na. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. So what if he passed the family business to Xia Wanyuan? She has to have the ability to suppress it.¡±

    This was America, a ce where the Jun Corporation could not reach.

    Li Na was a little worried. She had an inexplicable fear of Xia Wanyuan, although she could not say why. ¡°I¡¯ll tell Teacher this news.¡±

    Master Danny did not like Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling very much now.

    Master Danny was originally very guilty that he mistook the owner of the Gold Award. However,ter on, Jun Shiling exposed this matter in public. Master Danny felt that Jun Shiling did not give him any face and began to especially hate this couple.

    Behind Master Danny stood a strong family. Li Na thought that Xia Wanyuan would definitely not be able to take over the Blue family.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in a certain manor in Continent F, the servants were trembling and lowering their heads, enduring Chu Yi¡¯s anger.

    ¡°I asked you to watch her. Where is she?¡± Chu Yi was wearing a suit and his sses no longer existed. His eyes, which looked elegant and gentle with his sses, were filled with endless evilness.

    ¡°Young Master, Madam said that she¡¯s hungry and asked us to prepare food for her. We really didn¡¯t expect Madam to slip out of the hole in the wall in the backyard.¡±

    Everyone in the manor hid the copse of the Feng family from Feng Wuyou. Feng Wuyou had always been happy and even chatted andughed with Chu Yi every day.

    No one had expected Feng Wuyou to know about this long ago and had been nning to leave.

    She had deceived everyone, including Chu Yi.

    Chu Yi had a cigarette in his hand. He suddenly took a drag. ¡°Go and find her. Even if you have to dig out the entire Continent F, you have to find her!!¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The servants retreated fearfully.

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes andy on the sofa like a snow leopard taking a nap.

    His gaze wandered and he saw a pillow with a cartoon pattern not far away. It was Feng Wuyou¡¯s favorite cartoon character.

    Chu Yi took another puff of his cigarette and walked over. He held the pillow in his arms and gently stroked it.

    ¡°Wuyou, you can¡¯t escape.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the manor in Beijing, the night passed.

    ¡°Morning.¡± Feng Wuyou walked to the dining table and greeted Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Feng Wuyou¡¯s swollen eyes. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Feng Wuyou shook her head. ¡°You should know, right?¡±

    News of the Feng family¡¯s copse had probably spread throughout the world.

    Everyone in the world knew that she, Feng Wuyou, was blind. She had led the wolf into the house and made herself a springboard, bing a tool to destroy the entire Feng family.

    The despair on Feng Wuyou was too obvious, making Xia Wanyuan unable to bear it. She handed Feng Wuyou a ss of milk. ¡°What are you going to do?¡±

    Feng Wuyou took a deep breath. That face that had once smiled like a flower was now like a rose that had been hit by ice.

    With shards of broken pieces, she looked dpidated and defeated.

    ¡°I want revenge.¡± Feng Wuyou gritted his teeth.

    She felt that she was a joke in front of Chu Yi. She had been yed like a pig and even brought Chu Yi topletely destroy their Feng family.

    That was the territory that their Feng family had fought for generations.

    Now that her parents were missing and the Feng family was scattered, even if she had other rtives, Feng Wuyou did not have the face to see them again.

    Knowing that Feng Wuyou was still very agitated, Xia Wanyuanforted her. ¡°Then rest here for a while. Don¡¯t worry, your whereabouts have been erased. They won¡¯t be able to find you here for the time being.¡±

    It was only temporary. Jun Shiling¡¯s methods were strong, but the Chu family¡¯s power was not weak either. Sooner orter, they would be able to find Feng Wuyou¡¯s hiding ce.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Feng Wuyou smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Thank you so much.¡±

    After dinner, Feng Wuyou stayed in the manor to rest while Xia Wanyuan went to the production team.

    During this period of time, the post-production of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had basically beenpleted. Now, it was time to wrap up. As long as he reviewed it a few more times,

    The movie could enter the normal publicity stage and be ready for release.

    The studio¡¯s current appearance waspletely different from a few months ago.

    At that time, everyone was a little inexperienced and could not adapt to each other.

    Now, after a few major changes, not only did the rtionship between the colleagues not be distant, but it was also like a rope that became tighter and tighter under the influence of external forces.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, everyone greeted her excitedly. ¡°CEO Xia, our movie review process has beenpleted. Come and watch the initial product with us.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When she left the studio two hourster, Xia Wanyuan had a satisfied expression.

    After obtaining Xia Wanyuan¡¯s approval, the studio sped up the process and formed a publicity n for the world within a few days.

    Hence, when Xia Wanyuan slowly walked towards people, the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± gradually entered their sights.

    Before anyone noticed, posters and promotional videos began to be released everywhere in the city.

 Chapter 1224 - Box Office Reputation

    <h4>Chapter 1224: Box Office Reputation</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    There were a total of three versions of the publicity poster this time.

    One was a delicate little princess lying on the city wall and secretly looking at the outside world. Her big sparkling eyes seemed to be exploring the outside world through the poster.

    One was a scene of an army in front, with Xia Wanyuan leading the army to fight. Golden armor, war drums, smoke, and a figure standing in the light.

    The other was on a hundred-meter jade step. Xia Wanyuan was dressed up magnificently and standing on the hundred-meter jade step. She was looking at the people outside the pce, her eyes filled with dignity and pity.

    [The texture and design of this poster are really not bad. I¡¯m suddenly looking forward to it.]

    [If the posters are not beautiful, then there¡¯s no need for the movie to be released, okay? I¡¯ve been deceived too many times and am temporarily waiting and watching what¡¯s happening. Many movies look beautiful, but in fact, the texture of the content is very bad.]

    [Wow, wow, wow. I love it. Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful. Ignoring everything else, based on her looks, I¡¯ll book the movie tickets first.]

    Unlike the domesticizens who were basically looking forward to it, the Inte was basically filled with mockery.

    First, there were the clothes for the movie. Chinese culture was ipatible with foreign culture.

    The traditional clothes of China were very strange to them and looked old-fashioned.

    Another problem was the theme. In the history of world movies, there was really no ancient movie like China that ranked in the top ten of the box office.

    [ Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is this a movie that can surpass the box office of ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡±? Ahahahahaha, I¡¯mughing my teeth off. How can Xia Wanyuan have the cheek to say such a thing? ]

    [ Stop talking. I feel that Xia Wanyuan is teasing me. Only a crazy person would believe Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ The person in front, I understand what you mean. Most Chinese probably have something wrong with their brains, haha. Go to their social tform and take a look. Most of them actually support Xia Wanyuan. It feels like they don¡¯t have brains. ]

    The domestic media quickly reported relevant foreignments.

    Seeing the mockery, the domesticizens were furious.

    Some people even bought a few movie tickets repeatedly to help Xia Wanyuan break through the box office.

    In the presales worldwide, the proportion of tickets bought in China had reached almost 100%.

    This almost meant that the overseas market was nk. Relying on the Chinese market alone, there was not a popr movie.

    Hence, although theizens were very supportive of this movie, in the professional field, everyone basically looked down on this movie.

    The movie was about to be released. Xia Wanyuan, who should have begun the global road show, had fallen into a state of seclusion.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was busy discussing with Wei Jin about merging the Wei family in the north and south.

    ¡°Cousin, I¡¯ve basically grasped all the Wei family¡¯s businesses.¡± Wei Jin ced a stack of documents in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Actually, it was not difficult to take back the Wei family in Beijing. The Wei family in Beijing originally relied on the olddy and Wei Zimu to support them. To put it bluntly, the others were simr to useless people and were not difficult to deal with.

    After Wei Jin returned to Beijing, she quickly controlled the Wei family through the various information Wei Zimu had left behind.

    The difficult thing now was how to take back the Wei family in Jiangnan.

    The alliance between the Wei family and the Lin family in Jiangnan was getting deeper and deeper. After the two familiespletely fused, the south would be a piece of iron. At that time, it would probably be toote to attack.

    After hearing Wei Jin¡¯s analysis, Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. ¡°What looks like the most stable rtionship is actually best to copse. Both families are big families in the south. As long as someone turns around in the middle and arouses the suspicion of both sides, this cooperation will naturally not be stable.¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. ¡°I think so too. Then Cousin, I¡¯ll go to Jiangnan in two days. I still have something on, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and watched Wei Jin leave.

    Not long after Wei Jin left, Feng Wuyou came over.

    Looking at the luggage in her hand, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°Are you leaving?¡±

    Feng Wuyou nodded. ¡°Thank you for taking care of me, but I don¡¯t want to trouble you anymore. Besides, I can¡¯t keep running away.¡±

    Her parents¡¯ whereabouts were still unknown. Hiding here alone did not change anything.

    Xia Wanyuan did not stop her. After saying a few words to Feng Wuyou, she asked Uncle Wang to send Feng Wuyou away.

    In just about two hours, Chu Yi arrived at the manor.

    When Uncle Wang brought him in, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun.¡± Chu Yi nodded slightly at Xia Wanyuan.

    At that moment, Chu Yi seemed to have released all the aura he had hidden. He was no longer pretending to be elegant. Instead, he was filled with evilness and invasion.

    ¡°Young Master Chu, why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re a smart person, so I won¡¯t beat around the bush. Is my wife here? I¡¯m sorry, my wife is mischievous and ran away from home. I¡¯m here to pick her up.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s expression was actually a little soft when he spoke of Feng Wuyou.

    For a moment, even Xia Wanyuan could not tell if he was sincere or fake.

    ¡°Two hours ago, she was indeed here.¡±

    Chu Yi frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Now, she has probably left China.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Chu Yi hurriedly left. ¡°Thank you, Madam Jun. I¡¯lle and visit again next time.¡±

    That afternoon, after sending this and that away, Xia Wanyuan felt extremely tired. She took her phone and nced at it. Chen Yun had sent her more than ten messages.

    The first batch of movies that were pre-screened received an unprecedented full score from the audience.

    The pre-screening was to randomly choose a few points in the country and invite some film critics to watch in advance. After watching, they would give their opinions. The audience was random and plural.

    Hence, the results of the pre-screening couldrgely represent the reputation and box office of the movie after it was released.

    This nearly perfect evaluation caused a considerablemotion in the film industry.

    Everyone wanted to increase the screenings, but they were afraid that these film critics would be bribed. After all, Xia Wanyuan was so rich.

    Just as the theaters were wavering, the movie was released all over the country in the early morning.

    The second day¡¯s reputation exploded on the Inte.

    The next morning, on all the major film review websites, the box office of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± continued to rise. Some even reached close to full marks.

    All the major marketing ounts and news media moved out to report this magical phenomenon to the public.

    However, the audience did not especially believe it. After all, those who would watch the moviete at night on the day of the premiere were basically Xia Wanyuan¡¯s loyal fans.

    For example, in the domestic entertainment industry, the most untrustworthy thing was the words of fans. No matter how bad an idol¡¯s acting was, fans could brag about it with their eyes closed. The audience was already used to it.

    [Stop bragging. Is it awkward? How much money did you receive? It has just been released and you¡¯re already farming points. I don¡¯t believe that any movie can reach full marks. I can¡¯t believe you.]

    [I don¡¯t believe a word the fans say. Don¡¯t even think of tricking me into watching a movie. Hmph.]

    [ I originally wanted to go and take a look, but this overwhelming marketing is a little too much, making people disgusted. I know that you, Xia Wanyuan, are rich, but you don¡¯t have to brag so fiercely. ]

    There was endless controversy online. To the ordinary public who did not go online much, theypletely went in to watch whatever movie was good recently.

    In the end, when these people came out, they were basically praising each other.

    ording to the usual routine of movies, they would be popr online first before gradually driving the audience to watch.

    However, this time, ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had established a good reputation among the ordinary people before gradually spreading.

    It was like a tall pce with a solid foundation.

    Hence, when the anti-fans criticized Xia Wanyuan for going overboard with her marketing on the Inte and would never watch this movie even if they were beaten to death, their mother¡¯s feather duster was on them.

    ¡°I told you to y with your phone less, yet you still y with it! Are you disobedient?! Do you know how harmful a phone is to the body? You say every day that you¡¯re not feeling well because you¡¯re ying with your phone?!¡±

    ¡°Mom, I didn¡¯t.¡± The child was aggrieved. Most Inte trolls were just ordinary people in real life. It was just that the invisible Inte magnified their hostility.

    ¡°You still say no! What nonsense are you looking at every day! If you don¡¯t study hard, bring your phone over!¡± His mother reached out and snatched it, seeing the child¡¯s phone screen.

    At that moment, the stills of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± were paused on it. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to be looking out through the screen.

    The expected beating and scolding did note. The child secretly took a look and realized that his mother was looking at her phone happily.

    ¡°Aiyaya, what¡¯s this girl¡¯s name? She¡¯s too beautiful. Let me tell you, your father and I went to the cinema to watch this movie yesterday. Your father was crying there. She¡¯s too beautiful.¡±

    ???

    The child was stunned. ¡°Was it nice?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± His mother said firmly, ¡°This movie reced Witted Tiger Mountain and became my favorite movie. I bought tickets for you. You have to watch it and learn what it means to be righteous.¡±

    The child was even more stunned.?<i>In the past, when I wanted to watch a movie, I would only have a chance after pestering. But now, good things actually came knocking on my door?!?</i>

    <i>If only I could change my ticket. I had just scolded Xia Wanyuan one second ago and was going to the cinema the next. It was too embarrassing.</i>

    However, facing his mother¡¯s death gaze, he did not dare to say a word.

    When the child staggered to the theater with the tickets, he realized that there were so many people with the same experience as him.

    Everyone was either threatened by their parents to watch a movie or convinced crazily by their friends.

    ¡°I want to watch it seriously and then go back and p their faces. A movie made by marketing really frightened thoseymen.¡±

    At first, everyone went to watch the movie with this thought, but as the movie began,

    Everyone was attracted by the magnificent background and extremely beautiful style.

    Back then, ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was filmed in the country, so the famous rivers and rivers inside had a majestic aura.

    In the magnificent war scene, all sorts of special effects were extremely realistic. The smoke that filled the sky seemed to be about tond on his head in the next second.

    In the entire movie, the Eldest Princess fell into the hands of the people and led her subordinates to sessfully restore the country.

    Among them was the trust between the monarch and the people, the tacit understanding between her subordinates and generals, the friendship of herrades who fought side by side, and the family protection behind countless people who rushed to the battlefield.

    In just two hours, there were countless exciting, touching, moving, and shocking scenes and feelings.

    After watching the movie, everyone felt a sense of belonging to the country. However, in the entire movie, there was no lecture.

    It seemed to be quietly telling a story about the life of a legendary woman, and this legendary woman had used her hot blood to paint a deep mark in history.

    Other than the plot and character creation being very on point, the other stunning thing was all the clothes that had appeared in the movie, making one have a photographic memory.

    All sorts of props fused with the scene. It was ancient and traditional, and everything made one feel that this was not a movie, but that such a dynasty had really appeared in front of everyone.

    The audience was not watching an art piece, but participating in the Eldest Princess¡¯s life.

    When the movie ended, those who had said that they wanted to see how bad the movie was fell silent.

    By the time they arrived at the cinema, everyone had alreadypleted the transformation from anti-fans to die-hard fans.

    Everyone took out their phones and began to praise this movie from all angles.

    Hence, a magical phenomenon began to appear online.

    If one casually clicked on a Weibo user who had praised ¡°Eldest Princess¡± to the sky, they would realize that two hours ago, this person had once crazily insulted Xia Wanyuan on Weibo for being too despicable.

    Furthermore, he said indignantly, ¡°Those who watch such trash movies are idiots! The kind whose brains have been eaten by zombies!¡±

    Before theizens couldment and tease, the Weibo users who had said this had already posted a new post.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my brain was eaten by a zombie. I want to strongly rmend this movie. As a man, I cried five times in the cinema!!! I didn¡¯t bring tissue paper!! Boohoo, my sleeves were wet when I came back.¡±

    Theizens, who had been watching from the sidelines, were a little curious when they saw this scene.?<i>What was so magical about a movie that could turn so many anti-fans into loyal fans??</i>

    The establishment of the reputation and the rise of the box office gradually spread. This group of people went to watch movies and gave quite a high evaluation. Aftering out, they promoted to the next group.

    This cycle repeated, and soon, the poprity of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± appeared on the Inte.

    Especially when those people who watched it twice, three times, and four times went to the cinema to relive it, they did not feel very bored. Instead, they often had new insights when they watched it again.

    After all, in this movie, every prop was worth reviewing. Every piece of clothing was as exquisite as a piece of art.

    Some experts who studied cultural relics returned from watching the movie and wrote tens of thousands of words of film reviews, listing the cultural relics that had appeared in the movie.

    At this moment, the audience realized that even the props used by the extras in the production team were genuine antiques.

    [ The world of the rich blinded me. Can I be an extra in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s production team? My requirements aren¡¯t high. It¡¯s fine as long as you can let me eat something and bring an antique home. ]

    [ Impressive. The cost of filming this movie is probably very high. However, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are so rich. F*ck, why should I worry about the cost of the world¡¯s richest man filming a movie? ]

    [Perhaps it¡¯s precisely because they used real antiques that the texture of the movie looks so good.]

    At the end of the next day, the box office of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had already exceeded one billion yuan, bing the fastest movie in history to break the record.

    Seeing this oue, the studios, who had worked hard for a long time, were extremely excited.

    Most of the students in the studio were recruited by Xia Wanyuan from various universities. Who would have thought that this group of students, who did not have much experience at first, could actually create such a huge miracle in the end?

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan had just returned to her bedroom after dinner when she received Chen Yun¡¯s report.

    Looking at the data that kept soaring, Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood.

    Jun Shiling walked over and saw Xia Wanyuan smiling. His heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head to kiss her.

    Caught off guard, Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s breathing deepened as he wrapped his arms around Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What are you smiling at? You¡¯re so happy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan handed the information to Jun Shiling. ¡°Can¡¯t I be happy after earning money?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not even look at the information. His gaze waspletely locked on Xia Wanyuan. After she was pregnant, because her workload was strictly controlled, coupled with her eating and sleeping well, she was now glowing. Her every frown and smile had a different charm.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s strange gaze, Xia Wanyuan moved to the side. ¡°Stay away from me.¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over and hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly. He buried himself in her neck and sniffed. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragrance lingered at the tip of Jun Shiling¡¯s nose, making him involuntarily tense up. ¡°Shen Xiu said it¡¯s okay.¡±

    ¡°???¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ¡°You went to ask Shen Xiu?!¡±

    Jun Shiling nted a kiss on the corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask. He told me himself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something more, but Jun Shiling swallowed her.

    In the end, Jun Shiling did not really do anything rash, but Xia Wanyuan was lying in his arms alive. No matter how much he could endure, he could not get through this hurdle, so he coaxed Xia Wanyuan to help him in other ways.

    Two hourster, Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling with a flushed face. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her into his arms. ¡°I paid to promote your movie. As an investor, can¡¯t I collect some interest?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you money as interest.¡± Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. Not only did she not punish him, but she also made him even more excited.

    ¡°No, I want the boss to give me interest.¡± After Jun Shiling stomped his feet, he becamezy. He smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    The movie was very sessful. Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood. Shey in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and chatted with him for a while before falling asleep.

    After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling carefully got out of bed and went to the study next door.

    Turning on theputer, the meeting room opposite was already filled with people.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation in America?¡± At this moment, Jun Shiling had lost his warmth and became the head of the Jun family again.

    ¡°The Chu family has forcefully entered America, and there¡¯s news that the Chu family is seeking an alliance with the Blue family.¡±

    Now that the Blue family was in pieces, the only designated sessor, Xia Wanyuan, was still in China. Everyone in the Blue family was in a panic. It was time to need allies, so the Chu family naturally became their target to rope in.

    ¡°Continue to watch. Report immediately if you discover any members of the Blue family entering the country.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    As Jun Shiling had expected, just as they were having a meeting, a group of people from America was trying to enter the country.

    Hence, the next day, Chen Yun went to work at the studio as usual.

    Just as he walked to the door, he saw three blond foreigners standing there. From their physiognomy, they did not look easy to provoke.

    Chen Yun walked over and a tall blond man stopped him.

    ¡°Where is Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    This person¡¯s tone was unfriendly. Chen Yun looked at him unhappily. ¡°Why are you looking for her?¡±

    ¡°Just say it. Where is Xia Wanyuan? Let her see us.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know where she is. Please make way. I have to work.¡±

    The foreigners looked at each other and took Chen Yun away with one arm each.

    Chen Yun was stunned when he was carried away.

    <i>I have no money and no good looks. What did these people want??</i>¡°Let go of me, let go of me. Do you know that this is China¡¯s territory? You¡¯re breaking thew!!¡±

    How could that group of people care so much? They carried Chen Yun into the car and ran straight to the Beijing Hotel.

    Xia Wanyuan was resting in the manor when she suddenly received a call from Chen Yun. She pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello?¡±

    A foreigner¡¯s voice came from the other end. He said in English, ¡°Xia Wanyuan? We¡¯re at 1105 Beijing Hotel. Come over now.¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up straight. ¡°How did you get Chen Yun¡¯s phone?¡±

    ¡°Your manager is in our hands now. If you want his life, I¡¯ll give you half an hour. We want to see you in the hotel. You can¡¯t bring anyone else over.¡± The other party¡¯s tone was very unyielding.

    At this moment, the sound of struggling came from the phone. It was obvious that Chen Yun was tied up.

    ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go over now. You can¡¯t hurt my manager, or you¡¯ll bear the consequences.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    She thought for a while and called Shen Qian. Then, she got the chauffeur to send her to the Beijing Hotel.

    When she arrived at the hotel, it was exactly half an hourter. She walked to Room 1105 and knocked on the door. The door opened and there were three blond foreign youths.

    In the middle of the room, Chen Yun was tied up with a rope and a cloth bag over his mouth. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Chen Yun shook his head crazily.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan?¡± The blond man made way for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come in.¡±

    The moment the door opened, a group of secret guards suddenly jumped out from behind Xia Wanyuan.

    The secret guards held guns and quickly upied the entire room, subduing the three people on the ground.

    After searching around, the secret guard walked up to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Madam, there¡¯s no one else in the room, and these three people aren¡¯t carrying any weapons.¡±

    This time, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was a little strange.<i>?Firstly, these people did not have backup, and secondly, they did not have weapons. How could they dare to behave so atrociously in Beijing?</i>

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, let go of us. Do you know who we are?¡± Suppressed by the secret guards, the blond man kept struggling.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to know who you are. What I want to know more is who gave you the courage to capture people casually in Beijing?¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t keep your word.¡± The blond man red at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I told you toe alone. What did you mean by bringing so many people?!¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Why should I keep my word to you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was an ancient person, but she was not pedantic. If she knew that there was danger, but she still stood by her so-called promise, only a fool would do that.

    ¡°Let me tell you! We¡¯re from the Blue family. If you dare to do anything to us, the Blue family won¡¯t let you off!!¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was stubborn, the men could not help but reveal their background.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied calmly. ¡°Who sent you?¡±

    The few of them looked at each other and did not speak in the end.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and reached out. The secret guard immediately ced a military knife in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the tip of the knife against the blond man¡¯s leg. ¡°You can try and see if your flesh is harder, or my knife is harder.¡±

    Being looked down at by Xia Wanyuan, coupled with the aura she released, the few of them finally could not resist such pressure. Before Xia Wanyuan could really do anything, they had already exined the matter clearly.

    It turned out that these few people were sent by the second young master of the Blue family.

    Now that the Blue family was divided, coupled with Mr. Blue¡¯s will, no one knew what the future would be.

    Towards an unfamiliar person like Xia Wanyuan, everyone was both guarded and could not help but want to investigate.

    After all, no one could guarantee 100% that Xia Wanyuan really could not take over the Blue family. If Xia Wanyuan was really in charge in the future, everyone could prepare early.

    The few people who had been sent to China were Second Young Master¡¯s trusted aides. They were used to being awe-inspiring in America. Now that they were in China, they did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so difficult to deal with. They had justnded when their prestige waspletely destroyed.

    The key was that Xia Wanyuan was not only asking them why they were here. Because they were Second Young Master¡¯s trusted aides, Xia Wanyuan caught them and found out all sorts of information about the Blue family.

    An hourter, everyone almost exposed the color of their underpants to tell Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing that she could not dig anything out of these people, Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll let you go back to America. You can leave now.¡±

    The three of them looked at each other. ¡°But our mission hasn¡¯t beenpleted.¡±

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan felt that the three of them were a little stupid and cute. ¡°Do you think you can bring me from China to America?¡±

    The three of them shook their heads. ¡°No.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan walked out. ¡°Then that¡¯s it. Since you can¡¯t do it, why are you still here?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± The three of them stood up and challenged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Just you wait. We¡¯ll fight next time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan waved her hand indifferently. ¡°Okay.¡±

    With that, the three huge yet dim-witted youngsters left the room.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling, who had received the news, rushed over. He walked up to Xia Wanyuan with a bad expression. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me and came over yourself?!¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I bring many secret guards?¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t do either. Don¡¯t you know how special you are now? What if something happens?!¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was serious. It was obvious that he was really angry, but he could not bear to do anything to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°CEO Jun, I want to eat dessert. Buy it for me.¡±

    ¡°Stop changing the topic.¡± Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°What vor do you want to eat?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. ¡°I¡¯ll eat something with your taste.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes paused. Caught off guard, he was teased. Jun Shiling¡¯s heart was filled with anger and anxiety, as well as sour and sweet emotions.

    He really could not do anything to Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan out. Just as he left the room, he bumped into the person in the guest room beside him.

    Xuan Sheng touched the prayer beads in his hand and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Morning, Wanyuan.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at him and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand tofort him slightly.

    Xuan Sheng did not even look at Jun Shiling. He looked at Xia Wanyuan as if she was a luxury item.

    He had not met Xia Wanyuan for long, so Xuan Sheng wanted to take a few more nces.

    Jun Shiling coughed. ¡°CEO Xuan, how have you been?¡±

    Only then did Xuan Sheng look at Jun Shiling and raise an eyebrow with a smile. ¡°CEO Jun, why are you so careful?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°We still have something on, so we¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling left with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xuan Sheng leaned against the wall and quietly looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. After a while, heughed at himself and went downstairs.

    ¡°Are you going to thepany? Or should I send you home?¡± After getting into the car, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing the obvious anticipation in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll do as you say.¡±

    Jun Shiling was happy. ¡°Okay, then apany me to thepany.¡±

    Jun Shiling drove slowly towards thepany. When he passed by 2nd Ring Road and waited for the traffic lights, he happened to see a few people standing by the roadside.

    Xia Wanyuan also saw that Xia Yu, Lin Yi, and Jiang Yun were standing silently.

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to participate in the matters of the young people. She gestured for Jun Shiling to leave and not disturb them.

    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s impossible for Xia Yu and Jiang Yun?¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze, deep in thought.

    ¡°Jiang Ting might very well hand the Jiang family to Jiang Yun,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said.

    ¡°Really?¡± China had always been a country that valued bloodline inheritance. Xia Wanyuan did not expect the Jiang family to give up on Jiang Kui.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Jun Shiling had never said anything without basis. Since he had said so, it should be close.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan felt that the question just now was meaningless.

    If Jiang Yun became the head of the Jiang family, she would definitely have to pay the price. At least the possibility of her and Xia Yu being together would bepletely cut off.

    On the other hand, a few people stood awkwardly.

    Lin Yi had fewer friends in Beijing. In addition, Stone always wanted to see Brother Xia Yu. Every few days, Lin Yi would bring Stone to gather with Xia Yu.

    Jiang Yun and Lin Qingdai were sessfully engaged. Lin Qingdai treated Jiang Yun very well and almost granted her every request. The weather was good today, so the two of them agreed to go shopping.

    Unexpectedly, after turning a corner, the few of them collided.

    Seeing Jiang Yun, Xia Yu subconsciously stopped in his tracks. His gazended on Jiang Yun and Lin Qingdai¡¯s hands.

    Lin Yi sensed that something was wrong and looked at Jiang Yun. Although this was the first time she had seen Jiang Yun, she had a feeling that this person was the name of the woman Xia Yu had been calling after his fever.

    Looking at Jiang Yun¡¯s neat short hair and valiant suit, Lin Yi was a little surprised. She did not expect Xia Yu to like such a girl.

    In the end, Jiang Yun was the first to speak. ¡°What a coincidence.¡±

    Xia Yu nodded, his expression unreadable. ¡°Mm, congrattions on your engagement to Mr. Lin.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yun subconsciously pursed her lips and nced at Lin Yi. ¡°Is this your girlfriend?¡±

    Lin Yi was about to say no when a hand came from her shoulder. Lin Yi turned around in surprise. Xia Yu had already pulled her into his arms, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yun. ¡°Yes, her name is Lin Yi. We met on the battlefield.¡±

    A perfect smile appeared on Jiang Yun¡¯s face. ¡°She¡¯s very beautiful. You¡¯re verypatible.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Yu replied calmly.

    At this point, there was nothing else to say. Jiang Yun looked at Lin Qingdai. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingdai was not stupid. How could he not see the undercurrent between the two of them?

    However, to a mature gentleman, not asking about his partner¡¯s past was the greatest respect for his partner.

    Lin Qingdai left with Jiang Yun. No matter how silent Jiang Yun was, he did not ask further.

    At the corner of the street, Lin Yi was held in Xia Yu¡¯s arms for a long time, so long that Lin Yi felt a little ufortable. She looked up and saw Xia Yu in a daze. A hint of bitterness shed across Lin Yi¡¯s heart. ¡°Xia Yu, Miss Jiang has already left.¡±

    Only then did Xia Yue back to his senses. He retracted his arm. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, just now¡­¡±

    ¡°I know. She¡¯s your ex-girlfriend.¡± Lin Yi had an indifferent smile on his face. ¡°I understand, so I lent you myself for the time being.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Yu nodded slightly and walked forward.

    Behind her, the smile on Lin Yi¡¯s face gradually faded. Stone held Lin Yi¡¯s hand and shook it twice. ¡°Sister Lin Yi, why are you and Brother Xia Yu unhappy?¡±

    Lin Yi lowered her head and stroked Stone¡¯s head. ¡°Maybe the weather is too hot. Let¡¯s bring you to eat ice cream, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Stone was happy to hear about ice cream. He skipped after Xia Yu.

    Lin Yi watched from behind. Xia Yu smiled and spoke to Stone, as if nothing had happened.

    However, Lin Yi knew that Xia Yu was definitely not as indifferent as he appeared.

    Just as Lin Yi was deep in thought, her phone suddenly rang.

    Lin Yi pressed the answer button. ¡°Sister-inw, yes, okay.¡±

    Half an hourter, Lin Yi met Su Yueran at the coffee shop.

    This was the first time Su Yueran had seen Lin Yi. Her first impression of Lin Yi was that Lin Yi¡¯s bright eyes seemed to be filled with vitality.

    Su Yueran handed a card to Lin Yi. ¡°Your brother prepared this for you. You haven¡¯t returned to China in a long time. You probably have a lot of things to spend money on.¡±

    Lin Yi did not take it. ¡°Thank you for his kindness, but I don¡¯t need it. Thepany I work for pays me every month.¡±

    Su Yueran did not force her. She asked Lin Yi a few questions in concern and casually mentioned, ¡°I heard that you returned to China with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s younger brother, Xia Yu?¡±

    Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Su Yueran smiled. ¡°Your brother is just concerned about you. If you like that boy, we can help you. After all, the Lin family and the Xia family are still verypatible.¡±

    A hint of displeasure appeared in Lin Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°My parents left China with me a long time ago. There¡¯s no need for me to follow the Lin family¡¯s parents¡¯ orders.¡±

    Lin Yi¡¯s meaning was obvious. There was no need for others to criticize her marriage. She had left the Lin family for so many years. She did not understand why Lin Qingyuan and Su Yueran were putting on airs now.

    Su Yueran¡¯s expression did not change and she still had a dignified smile. ¡°Your brother is just concerned about you. Since you¡¯re unwilling to mention this, let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Come, order whatever you like.¡±

    ¡°No need. Is there anything else? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first. I still have something on at thepany.¡± Lin Yi and Su Yueran were not familiar with each other, and she was not interested in acting with Su Yueran here.

    ¡°No more.¡± Su Yueran stood up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll send you out. If you have any difficulties, just call me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you,¡± Lin Yi replied distantly and left the cafe.

    Behind her, a dark glint shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes as she watched Lin Yi leave.

    <i>So what if I sat in the position of the mistress of the Lin family? Didn¡¯t no one care about me? Now, even a little girl could treat her casually</i>.

    After Lin Yi left the cafe, she went to the hotpot restaurant on the street beside. There, Xia Yu was fighting with Stone for the meat in the pot.

    A smile subconsciously appeared on Lin Yi¡¯s face as she walked towards Xia Yu.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Xia Yu looked up. ¡°Sit down and eat. After eating, I¡¯ll bring you to the museum in the afternoon.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Yi smiled from the bottom of her heart and looked at Xia Yu with a glint in her eyes.

    Xia Yu looked up as if he had sensed something, then lowered his head as if nothing had happened.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± continued to increase its box office and reputation in the country, but the response in the international market was average.

    The main reason was not that movies were liked, but that there were no cinemas in the international market.

    It had always been difficult for Chinese movies to obtain the right to screen abroad.

    Because capitalists pursued profits, in the past, when Chinese movies were released, the cinemas basically lost money, soter on, the cinemas did not dare to release Chinese movies anymore.

    Hence, the overseas box office of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was much lower than its local box office.

    The only exnation for this image on the Inte was that Xia Wanyuan had increased the box office herself.

    [As expected, the movie¡¯s true colors were revealed the moment it was released. In the past, she even said that her box office was amazing. Now, I can see the truth. Other than the local box office, the box office outside is so low. It¡¯s obvious that she bought it domestically.]

    [Who asked her husband to be the richest man? She has no choice. He¡¯s amazing.]

    [She¡¯s so rich. Can¡¯t she go somewhere else to harm others? Must shee to harm the entertainment industry? It¡¯s shameful to spam buy the box office. If she does that, get out of the film industry.]

    Because theizens¡¯ voices were too strong, in the end, there was even a mocking topic on the Inte called ¡°So what if Xia Wanyuan is rich¡±.

    Under the topic, it was all about buying Xia Wanyuan¡¯s box office with money. Such behavior should be blocked by the international film industry.

    Because the popr science video Xia Wanyuan had made was too popr on the Inte, she had many anti-fans now. Soon, the topic ¡°So what if Xia Wanyuan is rich¡± rose to the top ten.

    The domesticizens were furious when they saw this topic. They ran over to scold the foreignizens and were even banned.

    Just as everyone was arguing, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount on the Inte suddenly updated.

    @wanxia-yuan: ¡°¡®Eldest Princess¡¯ will be released in twenty cinemas in America tomorrow morning. Everyone is wee to watch it.¡±

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. Are you living in a dream? Which cinema is so blind to actually release such a movie that will definitely lose money?]

    [ The person in front, have you ever thought that Xia Wanyuan is talking nonsense? Who would go watch China movies for no reason? ]

    [I¡¯m speechless. I wouldn¡¯t watch such a trash movie even if you threw the money on the ground.]

    Due to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s post, some curiousizens checked the addresses of these twenty cinemas and realized that they were distributed in twenty more developed cities in America.

    What was most shocking was that

    These twenty cinemas had all been bought by the Xiafeng Group.

    <i>Didn¡¯t you say that I¡¯m so amazing because I¡¯m rich? Then I¡¯ll buy the movie theater and release it there. I¡¯ll show you what real money is.?</i>

    The foreignizens were stunned by this rich and imposing behavior. The topic called ¡°So what if Xia Wanyuan is rich¡± that was originally used to mock Xia Wanyuan had now be a topic of praise for her.

    The next day, in the wee hours of America time, the movie quietly went online.

    Few people actually watched such Chinese movies, but one was one.

    Take the data of the cinemas in America as an example.

    That night, when the movie theater calcted, they realized that there were only five people who came to watch the movie in the morning.

    In the afternoon, the number became 15. At night, it actually became 30.

    Although this data was really unpresentablepared to other blockbusters that were filled with people, this data indicated a trend.

    That was, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and beyond, the box office of the movie might continue to increase.

    Although the cultures of various countries had barriers, human emotions were interlinked. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy could be sensed by the audience in front of the screen through their works.

    The few people who watched the movie at the beginning slowly spread out through word of mouth andments on social media.

    Gradually, like the butterfly effect, more and more people began to walk into the theater and choose to watch ¡°Eldest Princess¡±.

    The next day, more than half of the theater could be filled.

    On the third day, the Beijing Cinema was already full. Because the venue was limited, four scenes a day could not satisfy the needs of a city.

    At this moment, the other cinemas that did not open their screenings at first smelled a business opportunity.

    To capitalists, they were willing to invest wherever there was money.

    All the major theaters went online with the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. Curious audiences rushed into the theater to watch it. After leaving the theater, they spontaneously rmended it to the people around them.

    Just like that, a weekter, the reputation and box office of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± exploded in America.

    The most popr topic of discussion was, ¡°Hey, did you watch that movie in China? The one with the especially good clothes.¡±

    Seeing that this movie was so popr in America, cinemas in other countries followed suit and began to introduce this movie.

    Hence, another weekter,

    This movie became popr worldwide.

    The poprity of a movie was far more than entertainment. It was just like the American blockbuster that once wreaked havoc in China, bringing with it the values of the entire America and the input of America¡¯s culture.

    Ordinary people could not personally experience the social life of America. The source of information they could obtain was all sorts of movies and television dramas.

    When people saw the word America, they would naturally think of the brave and fearless hero image and advanced and perfect social life transmitted in its movies.

    As a movie that hadpletely condensed Chinese culture, ¡°Eldest Princess¡±¡®s poprity allowed audiences all over the world to see China¡¯s traditional cultural concepts and all sorts of traditional clothes from this movie.

    The world audience saw the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and riding and archery skills.

    In order to understand these plot performances better, many people spontaneously began to understand these things that they had nevere into contact with.

    Due to their different ideologies, foreign media usually portrayed China as old-fashioned, honest, greedy, cheap, and dirty.

    And this movie taught the world an unstoppable wave of loyalty and courage in China¡¯s traditional culture, letting everyone see the definition of country and home that was not used in Western culture.

    This time, the worldwide input of Chinese movies was a victory for the box office at that time. It was the symbol of China¡¯s film industry truly walking towards the internationalmunity.

    However, in the definition ofter generations, this movie output incident was considered the perfect opening to ¡°pry up Chinese culture and walk onto the world stage¡±.

    The initial growth of the box office and reputation was very slow. Once it began to snowball, it would only snowball. A week after the movie was broadcasted, the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had already surpassed Director Charon¡¯s ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± and became the third highest-grossing movie in history.

    Half a month after it was broadcasted, ¡°Eldest Princess¡± reached the top and became the first top of box office in history!

    Furthermore, this data was still being surpassed by itself.

 Chapter 1229 - Concert

    <h4>Chapter 1229: Concert</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Such a movie could be said to have the best box office results in the history of Chinese movies.

    Under everyone¡¯s gazes, thements that said that Xia Wanyuan was brushing up on the box office and mocking ¡°Eldest Princess¡± for being unable to bepared to ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± were all dug out again.

    [ I just want to ask if you¡¯re embarrassed?? Don¡¯t tell me someone is still saying that Xia Wanyuan is brushing up on the box office? What can¡¯t bepared to ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡±? What a joke. I don¡¯t know how far ¡°Starry Sky Journey¡± has been left behind. ]

    [ Reality has proven that in the past, those movies always found excuses to say that foreigners did not ept them because of the barrier of culture. From the looks of it, everyone can feel whether there are barriers or not. ]

    [ Am I the only one who feels that Xia Wanyuan is really amazing? She always creates miracles. She can actually move a period movie onto the world stage. In the past, Chinese directors probably wouldn¡¯t even dare to dream of doing this. ]

    The sess of this movie was like a fulcrum. Xia Wanyuan went from being popr on the Inte to being popr worldwide.

    As the box office continued to increase, more and more people had seen this movie. As the absolute protagonist of the movie, everyone remembered this beautiful, brave, and fearless Chinese female celebrity.

    It was from this movie that Xia Wanyuan became a true international superstar.

    Unlike a potential international celebrity like Su Yueran, Xia Wanyuan was a real international celebrity. Now, when she walked on foreign streets and asked, even foreigners could say her name.

    In a castle in France, the Eldest Princess was ying on a huge screen.

    An Luo looked at the screen. ¡°Brother, this Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie is not bad, right??¡±

    An Lin turned around and nced at An Luo with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Not bad? It¡¯s clearly very nice to watch.¡±

    After all, the light in his younger brother¡¯s eyes was about to seep out.

    An Luo snorted softly and did not mean what he said. ¡°It¡¯s not bad.¡±

    An Lin reached out and stroked An Luo¡¯s soft hair. ¡°Do you want to see her?¡±

    An Luo looked up in surprise. ¡°Can I?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Lin smiled. ¡°Go and pack up. We¡¯ll set off tomorrow.¡±

    An Luo liked Xia Wanyuan. An Lin knew that although An Luo had not said anything recently, he had always secretly searched for news about Xia Wanyuan. He was smart. Every time he finished searching, he would erase the search records, but these things could not be hidden from An Lin.

    An Luo was visibly happy. He pounced into An Lin¡¯s arms. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re the best!¡±

    An Lin stroked An Luo¡¯s head. ¡°Go.¡±

    An Luo ran happily into his house to prepare a gift for Xia Wanyuan.

    Behind him, An Lin watched An Luo leave excitedly and smiled helplessly. Suddenly, he frowned and reached out to cover his chest.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Domestically and internationally, because of the poprity of ¡°Eldest Princess¡±, countless business invitations surged towards Xia Wanyuan.

    The entertainment industry was a ce where resources were determined by status. Now, international veteran programs that had never looked down on Chinese actors extended an olive branch to Xia Wanyuan.

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not have the energy to attend these during this period of time. She was preparing for a concert that had already been confirmed.

    However, the problem she faced now was that Jun Shiling would never agree to let her hold a concert.

 Chapter 1230 - In the Future

    <h4>Chapter 1230: In the Future</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Everyone¡¯s pregnant figure and physique were different, and Xia Wanyuan was the type that did not show. Although she was more than three months old, there was nothing different about her stomach.

    Chen Yun and Lu Li, who worked with her every day, still did not know about this. When arranging work, they arranged a concert for Xia Wanyuan ording to their previous n.

    In the manor, Uncle Wang carefully nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I know, Uncle Wang. I¡¯ll go up and take a lookter.¡±

    Only then did Uncle Wang shake his head and leave.

    He had been fine before dinner. After dinner, Uncle Wang saw Jun Shiling return to the study angrily.

    Now, other than Xia Wanyuan, there was no one else who could make Jun Shiling angry. Other than Xia Wanyuan, there was naturally no one else who could coax Jun Shiling well.

    Xia Wanyuan carried the fruit juice into the study. Jun Shiling was handling documents at the desk. He looked up at Xia Wanyuan and lowered his head. ¡°Superstar Xia, you even personally sent me fruit juice? I can¡¯t ept it.¡±

    This sarcastic sentence amused Xia Wanyuan. She walked over and ced the fruit juice on the table. ¡°CEO Jun, why are you throwing a tantrum?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to lose my temper with Superstar Xia.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently poked Jun Shiling¡¯s face, making it itch. ¡°Aren¡¯t you just angry that I want a concert?¡±

    Jun Shiling turned his face away. ¡°Anyway, you don¡¯t n to ept my opinion. Why are you asking me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leaned against Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯ll show you the program list. It won¡¯t be very intense. It¡¯s just to fulfill some fans¡¯ wishes.¡±

    Also, she had a small wish of her own.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was still cold, but he still reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan to sit on hisp, afraid that he would tire her out if she stood for too long.

    ¡°Okay?¡± Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck and discussed with him nicely.

    ¡°Not okay.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun ~¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned over and whispered into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear.

    It was only when she whispered a few words into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear that Jun Shiling finally reluctantly agreed. ¡°Then I want to be at the venue on the day of your performance. If there are any intense actions, I¡¯ll immediately get someone to tear down the stage for you.¡±

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling¡¯s expression improve a little. He pulled her closer and touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see what our daughter looks like.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan leanedzily in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms, feeling sleepy. ¡°I want to sleep.¡±

    Jun Shiling pushed the document away and carried Xia Wanyuan back to the bedroom.

    Xia Wanyuan snuggled under the nket, pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s tie, and pulled him in. ¡°Apany me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead and hugged her to sleep.

    However, fifteen minutester, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang.

    Looking at the message on his phone, Jun Shiling replied with a few words and closed his eyes again.

    At this moment, in the Beijing airport, An Luo was squatting at the entrance of the airport. An Lin was looking at the messages on his phone.

    After a while, An Lin turned off his phone. ¡°Alright, get up. We definitely can¡¯t go tonight. Let¡¯s find a ce to stay and go tomorrow.¡±

    Although An Luo was a little disappointed, he still pulled himself together. ¡°Brother, I heard that the Chinese night market is very fun. Can you apany me?¡±

    An Lin treated An Luo very well, but he was usually too busy with work and could not spend much time with An Luo.

    Now that he was in China, An Lin could finally spare some time to apany An Luo. He nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    At this moment, the car that would pick them up had already arrived. ording to An Luo, An Lin brought him to the night market in Houhai.

    It was early summer, and the evening breeze was very gentle. The air smelled of all sorts of fried skewers.

    With An Lin¡¯s permission, An Luo bought many snacks that were usually not allowed to be eaten. He even pulled An Lin to the amusement park to y some ythings that children liked.

    Sitting on the carousel, An Luo¡¯s blue eyes were shining. He looked at An Lin. ¡°Brother, do you remember the little wooden horse we secretly sat on in the past?¡±

    Before An Lin could snatch back the power of the Cape family, the brothers usually lived in hiding.

    On An Luo¡¯s birthday, An Lin could not give him any material rewards, so he could only secretly bring him to the small wooden horse in the park.

    An Luo was also very sensible. He never felt disappointed. Instead, he yed very happily.

    An Lin nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    An Luo hugged the little white horse¡¯s neck and smiled. ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve always been good to me. In the future, every year, we have toe and ride the little wooden horse, okay?¡±

    An Lin reached out and rubbed An Luo¡¯s head. ¡°Okay.¡±

    The two of them yed in the amusement park for a long time until midnight before leaving.

    Sitting in the car back to the hotel, An Luo could not help but feel sleepy. He lowered his head and quickly fell asleep on An Lin¡¯s shoulder.

    An Lin pulled a nket over and covered An Luo. An Luo suddenly moved on his shoulder. ¡°Brother.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    An Luo blinked. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯te to China purely to see Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± An Lin stroked An Luo¡¯s soft hair.

    An Luo looked up in surprise, his beautiful eyes seeming to contain blue sky and white clouds. ¡°What do you know?¡±

    Guilt shed across An Lin¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    An Lin knew that An Luo always wanted toe to China. Other than wanting to see Xia Wanyuan, it was also because

    Aftering to China, his workload would decrease a little and he could always apany An Luo.

    When they were in France, although the two of them lived in the castle, An Lin had too many things to deal with. It was sometimes more difficult for An Luo to see him.¡±

    An Luo blinked his big eyes and hugged An Lin¡¯s arm. ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t have to be sorry. I know you worked so hard for our lives.¡±

    An Lin pressed An Luo¡¯s head on his shoulder and did not let An Luo see his red eyes. ¡°Since you think Brother has worked hard, from now on, if Brother wants to teach you how to manage the family, will you object?¡±

    An Luo shook his head. ¡°No, Brother. I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Lin smiled and patted An Luo¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Good child.¡±

    At the same time, in France, the curriculum that could guarantee that An Luo could take over the Cape family in half a year was in full swing.

    The next day, the brothers arrived at the manor very early. Seeing An Luo, Xiao Bao was very happy and called him Little Brother.

    An Luo looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he secretly stuffed arge pile of diamonds to Xiao Bao as a meeting gift.

    ¡°You¡¯ve grown a little taller.¡± Seeing An Luo, Xia Wanyuan had a smile on her face.

    ¡°I¡¯m already very tall.¡± An Luo was awkward, but he still leaned towards Xia Wanyuan and let her touch his head.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I have something to discuss with you.¡± An Lin looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°The study.¡±

    After entering the study, An Lin ced a ck box in front of Jun Shiling.

    ]Jun Shiling took it and nced at it. Even someone as smart as him did not understand An Lin¡¯s intentions.

    In the box was the seal of the Cape family. With this seal, one could bypass the family¡¯s council and issue orders directly.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    An Lin took a deep breath. ¡°I want to ask CEO Jun to help An Luo at the right time.¡±

    You must be joking. You¡¯re in charge of the family. Do you still need my help?¡± As Jun Shiling spoke, his heart was a little shocked.

    An Lin naturally would not say such words for no reason and even handed such an important thing to him.

    ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll leave this here. CEO Jun, please help him at the right time.¡± An Lin pushed the seal in front of Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at the seal. ¡°How are you so sure that I won¡¯t use your family¡¯s seal to benefit the Jun Corporation?¡±

    An Lin¡¯s eyes were filled with determination. ¡°You won¡¯t, because An Lin likes Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    The fact that An Lin liked Xia Wanyuan was enough to show her character, and the man Xia Wanyuan had chosen was naturally not wrong.

    Although An Lin and Jun Shiling were not especially close, he still chose to believe Jun Shiling.

    After all, in the entire family, there was no one else he could trust. To outsiders, the only people he could trust were Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling reached out and took the seal. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best, but I can only say that I¡¯ll do what¡¯s within my capabilities.¡±

    ¡°I know. Thank you.¡± An Lin stood up and formally ced his right hand on his chest. He bent down slightly and thanked Jun Shiling.

    Downstairs, An Luo sat beside Xia Wanyuan and listened to her happily. After a long time, An Luo looked upstairs. ¡°Why isn¡¯t my brothering down?¡±

    ¡°They should be discussing something. Can I bring you to make some cakes?¡±

    An Luo pursed his lips. ¡°Is there a need to do it? Just get the servants to buy some back.¡±

    Although he said that, An Luo followed Xia Wanyuan into the kitchen.

    When An Lin and Jun Shiling went downstairs again, they saw the two children surrounding Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan held the cream in her hand and handed it to An Luo to taste. Xiao Bao jumped around and wanted to eat it too.

    The mortal world was nothing much.

    An Lin took a look. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so lucky.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not retort, and his eyes softened.

    Seeing An Lin, An Luo ran over happily. ¡°Brother, are you done talking? Are we going back?¡±

    An Lin smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s eat lunch here before leaving.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    When they left the manor after dinner, An Lin suddenly said in the car, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve never apanied you much.¡±

    He had always felt that what he had to do was to be the strongest person and let An Luo live the best life.

    However, when he saw An Luo and Xia Wanyuan ying so happily in the manor just now, he thought that a small cake would make An Luo so happy. He had really given An Luo too littlepany.

    An Luo was very sensitive to An Lin¡¯s emotions. He put down the gift Xia Wanyuan had given him and turned around, catching the sadness on An Lin¡¯s face.

    ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± An Luo leaned towards An Lin. ¡°Are you unhappy because I yed with Xia Wanyuan? Don¡¯t worry, I still love you the most.¡±

    An Lin smiled and stroked An Luo¡¯s head. ¡°Silly brother, I¡¯m not unhappy. I just feel that I have too little time with you.¡±

    An Luo blinked his blue eyes. ¡°Then I¡¯ll work hard to learn how to manage the family and help you share more of the burden. You¡¯ll have time to apany me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Lin opened his arms to An Luo. ¡°Come and let me hug you.¡±

    An Luo lowered his head in embarrassment. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m already so old, yet you¡¯re still hugging me. How embarrassing.¡±

    Although he said that, An Luo still approached An Lin and let him hug him, just like when he was young.

    An Lin patted An Luo¡¯s back. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Your emotions are not right. What did you guys talk about up there?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m not telling you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was speechless. ¡°CEO Jun, why did you learn to anger me?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I learn it from you?¡±

    ¡°¡­.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned to leave, and Jun Shiling hurriedly followed. ¡°I was just teasing you. I¡¯ll tell you after a while. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°I don¡¯t care. Anyway, no one will tell me if I care.¡±

    Jun Shiling really liked to see Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slightly arrogant expression. He smiled and lifted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin. ¡°You¡¯re still angry?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away. ¡°No, I¡¯m going to the music room. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan turned to leave, leaving Jun Shiling standing rooted to the ground in a daze.

    After thinking for a while, Jun Shiling called Shen Xiu.

    ¡°Pregnant women¡¯s tempers do change easily,¡± Shen Xiu exined patiently to Jun Shiling. ¡°So during this period of time, try to follow Madam and not make her angry. After all, if a pregnant woman is angry, it will affect the fetus.¡±

    After hearing Shen Xiu¡¯s words, Jun Shiling carried a pile of snacks into the music room.

    The concert was about to be held. Xia Wanyuan had been working hard for the songs of the concert recently. She needed to make new songs and lyrics.

    ncing at Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was immersed in the notes again.

    Jun Shiling picked a piece of fruit and went over. ¡°It¡¯s nice.¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t yed it yet, and you already know it sounds good?¡±

    ¡°Mm, I sensed it with my heart.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh at Jun Shiling. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be your audience.¡± Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Please forgive me, our big celebrity. Don¡¯t be angry with me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡±

    ¡°Okay, you¡¯re not. Then can I apply to listen to a big celebrity perform live for me?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Beautiful and soothing music sounded in the music room. Jun Shiling sat at the side and listened. Xia Wanyuan asionally looked up and saw Jun Shiling¡¯s smiling gaze.

    Although they were in the same base, Wei Zimu had not seen Yu Qian for many days.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Yu Qian?¡± Wei Zimu stopped Jayce. ¡°Did he go out?¡±

    Jayce stopped in his tracks. ¡°Mr. Wei, if I remember correctly, didn¡¯t Boss ask you to go to America? Why are you back here?¡±

    ¡°I have something to discuss with him. Tell me, where did Yu Qian go?¡± After all, Wei Zimu had helped Old Madam Wei manage the family for many years. When he spoke, he had a suppressive aura. Even Jayce could not resist him.

    ¡°The boss has always been in theboratory. He instructed us not to go in, and you can¡¯t go in either.¡± With that, Jayce looked at the time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have other things to do. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    Wei Zimu frowned as he watched Jayce leave.

    Wei Zimu knew that Yu Qian had been fiddling with some experiments, but this time, Yu Qian had been in for an especially long time. Wei Zimu had a bad feeling.

    Yu Qian had given Wei Zimu authority second only to his, so Wei Zimu could walk freely in the base.

    He followed the map and walked all the way to Yu Qian¡¯s exclusiveboratory. The door of theboratory was only open to Yu Qian, but just as Wei Zimu walked to the door, it was opened.

    A cold wind blew on his face and Wei Zimu could not help but shiver. Theboratory was filled with all sorts of metal instruments. Wei Zimu walked in.

    At the far end stood a tall white figure. Hearing footsteps, Yu Qian turned around and nced at Wei Zimu. ¡°Morning.¡±

    In front of Yu Qian was a huge electronic disy screen. It was filled with all sorts of data that Wei Zimu could not understand.

    Wei Zimu walked over. ¡°What are you researching?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s gazended on the screen. ¡°Can you understand what I¡¯m studying?¡±

    ¡°Sea Shark has been looking for you to meet you.¡± Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian. He kept feeling that Yu Qian was getting colder and more terrifying.

    ¡°Mm, I understand.¡± Yu Qian nodded. He turned around and nced at Wei Zimu. ¡°Have you received any news from Xia Wanyuan recently? Are you happier?¡±

    ¡°How do you know?¡± Wei Zimu frowned slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise me not to disturb Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    Yu Qian clicked his tongue. ¡°When I speak of Xia Wanyuan, your reaction is too big. Brother, is there a need for this?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked away. ¡°Stay out of it.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand in front of the screen and turned off the electronic screen. Then, he took off his gloves. ¡°I don¡¯t care, but soon, you¡¯ll be able to see your Sister Wanyuan forever.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Wei Zimu suddenly looked up. He did not think that Yu Qian would let him leave this ce. ¡°What do you want to do to Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°I don¡¯t care about you, and you don¡¯t have to care about me.¡±

    Wei Zimu knew that no one could get anything out of Yu Qian if he did not want to say it. ¡°She¡¯s an important figure in China, and she¡¯s Jun Shiling¡¯s wife. Don¡¯t think of touching her. If you touch her, don¡¯t you want the huge industry you worked so hard to build?¡±

    Yu Qian sneered and looked at Wei Zimu yfully. ¡°Do you think I care?¡±

    Even if this was immediately destroyed in the next second, it would not affect him at all.

    Wei Zimu was speechless and did not know what to say.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to go to America? How¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already handed over to the Sea Shark people.¡±

    ¡°Sure, then stay in the base and rest for a while. If there¡¯s nothing else, you can leave first. I still have something on.¡± Yu Qian chased her out.

    Wei Zimu left theboratory hesitantly. When he walked out, his heart was still cold.

    He did not know what Yu Qian had just said.?<i>Could it be that he really wanted to do something to Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    Thinking of Jun Shiling, Wei Zimu¡¯s heart rxed a little. Jun Shiling was not an ordinary person. He could protect Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In America, the castle where the Feng family used to live had been converted into the Chu family¡¯s residence.

    Chu Yi sat on the sofa and looked at the subordinate in front of him unhappily. ¡°Trash, you¡¯ve been searching for so long, but you can¡¯t even find a person. What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve already checked almost all the people who entered the country, but we still haven¡¯t found any traces of Miss Feng.¡±

    ¡°Investigate again.¡± Chu Yi frowned. ¡°You have to bring her back.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After his subordinate left, Chu Yi stood up and looked at the surrounding decorations.

    This was the room before Feng Wuyou got married. There was the smell of Feng Wuyou¡¯s life everywhere.

    A middle-aged man was brought in. Seeing that Chu Yi was looking at the decorations on the wall seriously, the middle-aged man could not help but spit. ¡°Pfft! You ingrate. You caused our Feng family to be like this, yet you still have the cheek to pretend here. It¡¯s good that thedy ran away. You can¡¯t find thedy in your life!!¡±

    His thoughts were disrupted by the original butler of the Feng family. Chu Yi turned around, took out a gun from his pocket, and aimed it at the butler.

    ¡°Let me ask you, has Feng Wuyou returned?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The butler tilted his head to the side.

    ¡°Where is the most likely ce for her to go? You¡¯ve taken care of her since she was young. No one should know her better than you.¡± Chu Yi loaded the gun, and the sound of bullets rubbing sounded in the house.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible for me to tell you! Go to hell! Scum!¡± The butler had no parents and had grown up in the Feng family. Now that the Feng family had separated, he had nothing to worry about.

    Chu Yi shook his head slightly. He exerted strength and with a bang, the bullet hit the butler¡¯s leg.

    ¡°Let me ask you again. Where is she?¡± Chu Yi shifted the muzzle of the gun. This time, it was aimed at the butler¡¯s heart.

    ¡°I won¡¯t tell you even if you beat me to death.¡± The butler closed his eyes and looked fearless.

    Gunshots rang out and the house fell silent.

    In the secret passage behind Chu Yi, hearing themotion outside, Feng Wuyou¡¯s hand that was holding the wall was already bleeding, but she did not seem to notice.

    Her face, which was once filled with sunlight, was now filled with tears. Feng Wuyou squatted down and cried silently. She was so suppressed that it was as if her heart had been squeezed into pieces.

    Outside the room, Chu Yi waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to carry the unconscious butler away. Then, he turned around and looked at the mural on the wall, as if he was looking at something through it.

    At this moment, in the secret passage in the wall, Feng Wuyou stood up. Through the wall, she seemed to see the figure standing.

    After a while, Feng Wuyou turned around and left, walking along the secret passage towards the exit.

    In the room, Chu Yi flipped through the things Feng Wuyou had left behind. His heart was in a mess.

    A hundred years ago, the Chu family and the Feng family both wanted to obtain a chance to develop in America. The Feng family used all sorts of methods to squeeze out the Chu family and chase them to Continent F.

    For so long, the Chu family had quietly developed in that geographically poor ce in Continent F. Twenty years ago, the Chu family had once fought back, but they were suppressed by the Feng family.

    Chu Yi¡¯s biological mother had lost her life in a ne crash on the way back to Continent F from America.

    The young Chu Yi, under the infusion of all sorts of hatred from her father, was determined to destroy the Feng family in the future and bring the Chu family back to America to develop.

    However, when he really destroyed the Feng family and let the Chu family return to their original positions as he had wished, he realized that he was not as happy as he had imagined.

    Furthermore, he had thought that Feng Wuyou was just a tool, but now that the tool had run away, he was actually annoyed by this tool. Thinking that Feng Wuyou might never return to his side in the future, Chu Yi could not help but be angry.

    <i>No, I can¡¯t let any member of the Feng family off.?</i>

    After leaving the Feng family through the secret passage, Feng Wuyou sat in the car that had been prepared to pick her up.

    ¡°Miss, are you sure? If Old Master and Madam see you like this, they definitely won¡¯t agree to you going alone.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure. You don¡¯t have to say anything else. Just bring me there ording to the address I gave you.¡± Feng Wuyou¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were still red.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The chauffeur sighed silently.

    Overnight, it was as if he did not know this once sunny youngdy. The fall of the Feng family had dealt a huge blow to Feng Wuyou.

    In the past, when he saw Feng Wuyou, she was like a red rose that bloomed wantonly. She had sunlight and passion, and her face was always filled with a smile.

    The current Eldest Miss was a rose that had been ravaged by the wind and frost. She was also beautiful, but her beauty made one¡¯s heart ache.

    ¡ª¡ª

    China,

    After the ¡°Eldest Princess¡± movie experienced a period of rapid growth, it finally began to slowly slow down. No movie in the same period couldpete with it.

    After settling a worry, Xia Wanyuan leisurely prepared for the concert with Chen Yun and Lu Li.

    ¡°Where do you want to hold this concert?¡± Chen Yun brought the document over to seek Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion.

    Now that the preparations were almost done, the most important thing was to determine the location. Chen Yun still respected Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the map for a while, then pointed at the location of ancient Chang¡¯an. ¡°Here.¡±

    In her previous life, the Great Xia Dynasty had built a city around this city.

    ¡°Okay.¡± With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nod, Chen Yun immediately brought the proposal to the staff in charge of the concert.

    Seeing Chen Yun leave, Lu Li leaned towards Xia Wanyuan and looked curiously at the plum in her hand.

    Looking at the faint green plum, Lu Li subconsciously swallowed her saliva. ¡°Sister Xia, don¡¯t you find it sour?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan bit open half of it. The plum was crispy, and the green juice overflowed. Lu Li was about to be drowned by the sour saliva.

    ¡°It¡¯s not sour.¡± As Xia Wanyuan ate, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    She nced at the plum in her hand and thought of the saying that sour taste meant it would be a son, and spicy for daughter. She suddenly found it a little funny.<i>?I¡¯m doomed, I¡¯m afraid Xiao Bao will be disappointed again.?</i>

    Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion as she ate the sour plum like it was a biscuit. She could not help but gasp and move away from Xia Wanyuan.

    She felt that the air around Xia Wanyuan was sour. One breath could force out a lot of saliva.

    After discussing the concert with Chen Yun and Lu Li, Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling quickly came to pick her up.

    Sitting in the car, Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°What should I do? CEO Jun, I think I like to eat sour food.¡±

    Jun Shiling was stunned for a moment before reacting. ¡°Is it toote to change to spicy food from now on?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling in amusement. ¡°Why are you like this? Don¡¯t you like sons?¡±

    Thinking of Xiao Bao like this, Jun Shiling said reluctantly, ¡°I¡¯ll still like him I guess.¡±

    ¡°Then that¡¯s it.¡± Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°There¡¯s still a long way to go.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°I didn¡¯t work hard enough. Wait for me to work harder.¡±

    During this period of time, Jun Shiling had already forced Xia Wanyuan to reduce her work a lot. Even the sses in school had decreased a lot.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily task was to eat, drink, sleep, and prepare for the concert.

    Time passed day by day. Soon, it was the eve of the concert.

    At this moment, the venue was already prepared.

    Although Chen Yun was already very impressed with Xia Wanyuan, after experiencing this special effects studio, he could not help but praise her again.

    ¡°Wanyuan, how did you be so amazing? You¡¯re simply too prescient.¡±

    Back then, the studio that Xia Wanyuan had worked hard to build was originally prepared to do post-production special effects for the movie.

    Later on, after Xiu Yi¡¯s fashion show, the studio began to take on all sorts of lighting and stage special effects.

    By now, the studio could already independently take on the stage special effects work of the concert.

    Not to mention saving them a lot of money for their ownpany, the studio had already begun to take orders from outside. The huge training fees that they had invested in the early stages had already begun to slowly recover.

    Xia Wanyuan walked onto the stage to take a look. ¡°If everything is ready, we can start releasing the news.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Hence, that night, the studio posted a Weibo post.

    @ Wan Shi Studio: ¡°The tickets for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert will be sold at nine tonight. Please look forward to it.¡±

    The fans were stunned by this unexpected development.

    [ Are you poisonous??? It¡¯s already half-past eight in the evening, yet you¡¯re so willful? You don¡¯t even use publicity?? Are you afraid that your tickets will sell too well? ]

    [!! Look at what I saw!! Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert! I¡¯m in love. I¡¯ve been looking forward to it for so long. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing is actually really good! It¡¯s finally here. ]

    [I was already done with my makeup and prepared to go out to see my boyfriend. Now, I¡¯ve already called to cancel my date with him. What¡¯s a man? I¡¯m here for the concert!!]

    Although the ticketing website had already asked the staff of the website to strengthen the tform¡¯s endurance ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current poprity,

    However, when the ticketing channel opened, the tform still could not withstand the pressure.

    The moment the ticket snatching passageway began, the entire tform copsed from the swarm of fans.

    The website hurriedly gathered arge number of programmers for repair and finally returned the tform to normal ten minutester.

    When the fans clicked on it again,

    There was only one line of words on the entire page.

    ¡°Tickets sold out.¡±

    Fans: ???

    [ Are you kidding me?? Didn¡¯t they say that the tform copsed? So I¡¯m the only one who copsed??? F*ck, where are the tickets for a concert with a hundred thousand people? ]

    [I reasonably suspect that the box office was used to cooperate with the scalpers. Otherwise, how could the tickets be finished so quickly? I haven¡¯t bought it!!]

    [ Those who have already snatched the tickets are silently gloating. Hahahaha, that¡¯s awesome!! Goddess, I¡¯m here!!! ]

    Arge number of fans swarmed over and asked the ticketing website for an exnation.

    In order to clear her name, the ticketing website got someone to rify with a video overnight.

    From the monitoring data backstage of the website,

    The ticketing website really did not do anything.

    The website copsed within 30 seconds of opening the ticketing channel.

    However, 20 seconds after the ticketing channel was opened, all the tickets had been sold out.

    The website said:<i>?We¡¯ve really been wronged.</i>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The website rified the grievances. At this moment, the fans did not scold the website anymore. Instead, they scolded Chen Yun and the studio.

    Arge group of fans gathered under Chen Yun and the studio¡¯s Weibo.

    [ Can you guys do it?? You¡¯re so petty to hold a concert and only give so few tickets. No, you have to add another show. Will you listen to me!!! If you don¡¯t listen to me, can I kneel down and beg you? ]

    [ Count me in if you want to kneel in front. The child¡¯s lifelong dream is to watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert. Save the child. ]

    [Forget it, I won¡¯t ask to go to the venue. I don¡¯t think I can snatch it with my hand speed. Can you give me a link to an online live broadcast?]

    The studio also noticed the public opinion online. In the end, after discussion, the studio decided to open a special live broadcast channel.

    From movies to concerts, the entertainment industry had actually been upied by Xia Wanyuan during this period of time. Basically, there were no other hot topics.

    ¡°Is this what you told me?¡± On the phone, Lin Qingyuan sneered. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you can surpass Xia Wanyuan? Is this how you surpass her?¡±

    Su Yueran gritted her teeth. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know either. She can be so popr just by filming a period movie.¡±

    No one would believe that Xia Wanyuan could create such good results before the movie was released.

    ¡°Do you want to send me away just because you say you don¡¯t know?¡± Lin Qingyuan spoke very slowly, inexplicably shocking. Su Yueran had always been afraid of Lin Qingyuan, and now, she was even more afraid.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you onest month. If you¡¯re still useless,e back to Lin Xi and be Madam Lin.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll definitely try my best.¡± Hearing that she was returning to Lin Xi, Su Yueran¡¯s hair instantly stood on end. Others did not know how terrifying Lin Qingyuan was, but she knew. Even if she was beaten to death, she was unwilling to return to Lin Xi.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Lin Yi? Didn¡¯t I ask you to take care of her?¡± After talking about Xia Wanyuan, Lin Qingyuan thought of his cheap sister.

    ¡°Lin Yi rejected your card. She said that she has a sry and she¡¯s unwilling to talk to me.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± With that, Lin Qingyuan hung up.

    A minuteter, Su Yueran suddenly raised her arm and threw her phone against the wall.

    She really did not understand why Xia Wanyuan always seemed to have the help of a god and did everything so well.

    As for her, she would fail no matter what she did.

    ¡°Someone!¡±

    ¡°Madam, do you have any instructions? The bodyguard who came in was sent by Lin Qingyuan to protect Su Yueran, but Su Yueran knew very well that it was probably more of a surveince.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you something to do.¡± Su Yueran hooked her finger at the bodyguards, who immediately leaned over.

    ¡ª¡ª

    As the venue for the concert had beenpleted, Xia Wanyuan was going to Chang¡¯an to rehearse in the next few days.

    Jun Shiling asked Xia Yu to apany Xia Wanyuan first. After all, he had been a little busy recently and could only rush over on the day of the concert.

    Usually, Jun Shiling was the one who stuck to Xia Wanyuan. This time, Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to suggest it. ¡°Don¡¯t forget toe over when the timees.¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow and leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Why? Do you miss me so much?¡±

    Xia Yu coughed lightly and turned around, pretending not to see anything.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°Do you hear me?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll try to finish my work early and look for you.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Yu. ¡°Take good care of your sister.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother-inw.¡±

    Apanied by Xia Yu, Xia Wanyuan boarded the ne to Xi¡¯an.

    Xi¡¯an was an ancient city with the aura of history that Xia Wanyuan liked very much.

    Before setting off, Jun Shiling had already revealed to Xia Yu that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant. Now, Xia Yu was very careful with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll hold it for you. Just be in charge of looking at it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked around and suddenly raised an eyebrow, signaling Xia Yu to look ahead.

    Xia Yu looked forward and saw Lin Yi waving at them.

    ¡°Miss Lin, what a coincidence.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to greet Lin Yi.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a coincidence.¡± Lin Yi smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. ¡°Aren¡¯t I in China recently? Coincidentally, thepany is sending someone over to do an interview for your concert, Sister Xia, so I applied to thepany toe over.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled meaningfully. ¡°I thought you came with Xia Yu.¡±

    After saying this, Lin Yi¡¯s face suddenly turned pink. Xia Yu gently touched Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±

    Lin Yi felt embarrassed. ¡°Sister Xia, I still have other missions on my side, so I¡¯ll go over first. My colleague is still waiting for me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Watching Lin Yi leave, Xia Wanyuan suddenly called out to Xia Yu. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell that this girl is interested in you?¡±

    In front of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu still felt like a child.

    Xia Yu subconsciously blushed when asked by his elder. ¡°Sister, this kind of thing can¡¯t be resolved by one-sided love.¡±

    Lin Yi was a pretty good girl. He liked her, but not that kind of like.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped talking about this. After all, the rtionship was still Xia Yu¡¯s own. She could not care less.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the hotel. Chen Yun and the rest are probably already here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu arrived at the hotel, Lu Li was looking around the entrance.

    ¡°What are you looking for?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lu Li went forward to take the things from Xia Yu and walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side to tell her about today¡¯s schedule.

    When Lu Li came out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s room again, she had just turned the corner when she was stopped by someone.

    CEO Xuan, it¡¯s indeed you.¡± Lu Li looked at Xuan Sheng with surprise in her eyes.

    She knew that she had seen Xuan Sheng¡¯s back at the entrance of the hotel just now, but it was gone in the blink of an eye. She had thought that she had mistaken him for someone else.

    Xuan Sheng leaned against the wall and smiled slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell Xia Wanyuan that I was here.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Seeing Xuan Sheng like this, Lu Li felt inexplicably sad. ¡°CEO Xuan, did you speciallye to watch Sister Xia¡¯s concert?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Xuan Sheng sneered. ¡°I¡¯m here for a meeting. Who wants to watch her concert? Don¡¯t tell her. I¡¯m going to work. Bye.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng turned around and left. Lu Li shook her head behind.

    <i>I did not believe it. It was obvious that Xuan Sheng had speciallye for Xia Wanyuan. Sigh.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan rested in the hotel for a while before bringing Chen Yun and the rest to the concert venue for rehearsals.

    The current Xia Wanyuan could be said to have all sorts of fans wherever she went.

    In addition, Xi¡¯an¡¯s tourism publicity was still waiting to rely on Xia Wanyuan to promote it further. The Xi¡¯an officials gave Xia Wanyuan the green light. As long as Xia Wanyuan greeted them, all sorts of resources would be sent here in line.

    The rehearsal went very smoothly. Everything was going ording to the procedure Xia Wanyuan had expected.

    In a huge venue that could amodate a hundred thousand viewers, many staff were tidying up the venue.

    A volunteer leaned towards the staff in charge of the stage lift curiously.

    ¡°Brother, I want to ask, don¡¯t we need a lift or something for this concert?¡±

    The staff waved his hand. ¡°Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan too pampered? The higher-ups specially instructed us not to use dangerous devices. We have to ensure Xia Wanyuan¡¯s safety first.¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh¡­¡±

    The volunteer was young and generous. A few packs of cigarettes were stuffed into the staff¡¯s pockets, and the staff quickly told them everything he knew.

    ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡± The volunteer lowered his hat. ¡°This is my first time being a concert volunteer. I don¡¯t know anything.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand next time, just ask me,¡± the staff said boldly.

    Thank you.¡± The volunteer waved at the staff, lowered the brim of his hat, and quickly left the venue.

    Soon, Su Yueran, who was far away in Beijing, received the news. Listening to her subordinate¡¯s report, ruthlessness shed across Su Yueran¡¯s eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t a concert the easiest to have an ident? Since Xia Wanyuan wants to hold it, prepare a gift for her.¡±

    The Jiang family watched the shares of the Jun Corporation rise step by step. Jiang Kui was so angry that his face and neck turned red.

    They had clearly sealed off most of the Jun Corporation¡¯s businesses in America and were about to severely injure the Jun Corporation.

    Unexpectedly, it was this Xia Wanyuan again.

    Although the movie and concert this time seemed to have nothing to do with Jun Shiling, in essence, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were the same kind of people.

    When Xia Wanyuan¡¯s value increased, to a certain extent, it represented the value of the Jun Corporation.

    The Jiang family had spent a lot of effort to make up for the losses the Jun Corporation had suffered in America.

    ¡°You guys, you have to get someone to cancel this concert for me!¡± Jiang Kui shouted at the phone. ¡°You even let her hold it. If this continues, the Jun Corporation will save billions in advertising fees every year!¡±

    After shouting, the other party said something, making Jiang Kui even angrier. ¡°Do you know how to make a fire?! Do you still need me to teach you such a thing?! Are you all pigs?!!¡±

    The other party really did not understand what Jiang Kui meant. ¡°CEO Jiang, the safety of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert is fully handled by the Xi¡¯an officials. It¡¯s very difficult to create any idents inside.¡±

    Jiang Kui was so angry that he felt dizzy. ¡°Did I ask you to create a fire inside? Don¡¯t you know how to burn the outside?!¡±

    As soon as Jiang Kui finished speaking, the subordinate opposite him was silent for a moment before answering, ¡°Okay.¡±

    Zou Man listened to Jiang Kui¡¯s call and frowned slightly.

    As far as she knew, there was nothing around the gymnasium where the concert was held that could burn down the inside of the venue. The only ce was a residential area.

    However, that neighborhood was filled with people and there was a school around the neighborhood.

    As if sensing Zou Man¡¯s gaze, Jiang Kui looked up at her. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±

    Zou Man retracted her gaze. ¡°Nothing. You even said that I can¡¯t do anything to Xia Wanyuan. Don¡¯t you have no choice either?¡±

    Jiang Kui had just been angered by his subordinate and could not be bothered to argue with Zou Man now. He flicked his sleeves and left.

    Zou Man sat on the sofa, thinking about something.

    At this moment, Liu Tanyu held Xiao Yu¡¯s hand and slowly walked past Zou Man with a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

    ¡°Sister, Ah Kui usually works hard enough. Don¡¯t quarrel with him anymore.¡± With that, without waiting for Zou Man¡¯s reaction, Liu Tanyu looked at Xiao Yu. ¡°Xiao Yu, let¡¯s go and see your father.¡±

    Watching Liu Tanyu leave, Zou Man clenched her fists.

    That night, Xia Wanyuan, who was in the hotel, received an anonymous letter.

    Opening it, there was only a simple pattern of a ball of fire.

 Chapter 1235 - Captured in One Go

    <h4>Chapter 1235: Captured in One Go</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Yu leaned over to take a look. ¡°Sister, who sent this to you? What does fire mean?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stared at the pattern for a while and suddenly looked at Xia Yu. ¡°Get someone to check the surrounding buildings more. The main point is to do a good job of preventing and controlling the fire.¡±

    Xia Yu had been training in the military for so long. When Xia Wanyuan said this, he immediately understood and his expression turned serious. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go immediately.¡±

    At this moment, in the residential building outside the venue, a group of strangers was moving things into the building.

    A warm-hearted old man asked, ¡°Where did youe from?¡±

    Without a word, the other party walked in silently. Everyone felt that these people were strange but did not stop them.

    In a school not far away, the students were doing morning reading. Waves of reading sounds came over.

    The school was located in the Fengkou area for the past two days. Everyone knew very well that if anything happened, the school would be the first to be affected.

    In addition, this was a school in the housing area. It was rtively small and the buildings were highly concentrated. Other than a small field, there was no ce to evacuate.

    In the basement of the district, everyone poured gasoline on the ground.

    On the ground, the district property management kept walking around, cleaning up all sorts of traces and helping cover up.

    How could the property management not know the danger of the basement opening?

    However, no matter what era it was, greed could always make one cross all conscience and risks.

    Investigation was a huge project, especially since they could not alert the enemy.

    Xia Yu brought people and secretly sneaked into various ces to carefully investigate.

    On the other hand, all the rehearsals were progressing in an orderly manner.

    Xia Yu had a mission and could not stay by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side to take care of her, so he entrusted Lin Yi to take care of her.

    Lin Yi liked Xia Yu¡¯s sister very much and took good care of her.

    Sitting at the side of the stage and listening to Xia Wanyuan sing a song, Lin Yi could not help but praise her. ¡°Sister Xia, your singing is really good.¡±

    Thank you.¡± It was time for intermission, so Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to chat with Lin Yi. ¡°Are you alone in Beijing? Don¡¯t you have any other rtives?¡±

    Lin Yi had seen on the Inte that Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran were at odds, but she still did not hide it. In her previous experiences, she had understood that hiding it might bring about the copse of trust.

    ¡°Su Yueran is my sister-inw, and Lin Qingdai is my brother, but I went abroad a long time ago. They¡¯ve always been abroad. Although they know each other¡¯s existence, they¡¯re not familiar with each other.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had never checked Lin Yi¡¯s background, so she naturally had not thought that Lin Yi was rted to Su Yueran. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±

    ¡°Although Su Yueran is my sister-inw, I¡¯m not close to her and I won¡¯t do anything to hurt you.¡± Lin Yi was now an orphan and was not afraid of anything. There was nothing to be controlled by others.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Lin Yi meaningfully. ¡°Since Xia Yu is willing to be friends with you, I¡¯ll naturally believe you.¡±

    Speaking of Xia Yu, a hint of embarrassment appeared in Lin Yi¡¯s eyes. She smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Xia, someone is calling for you. Go and rehearse. I¡¯ll help you watch over here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Time gradually advanced to evening. Tonight was originally scheduled to start the concert.

    However, until now, Xia Yu had not found out what was wrong.

    Xia Yu was a little puzzled. ¡°Sister, do you think we¡¯re overthinking?? Could this be someone else¡¯s prank?¡±

    After all, there were so many people who did not want to see Xia Wanyuanplete her concert. It was possible to casually take a note to fool everyone. Not only would it dy the progress, but it would also make everyone panic.

    ¡°It¡¯s better to be safe than sorry. We can continue after the investigation.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew very well that it was fine if it did not happen, but if it did, many lives would be lost. She would rather catch the wrong person than let go of any possibility.

    Since there was still half of the ce to be investigated, Xia Wanyuan informed Chen Yun and announced that she would dy the performance until tomorrow night.

    As for the additional fees and the extra day of amodation for the fans who bought tickets, the Xiafeng Group would bear it.

    Soon, the studio posted relevant developments online.

    As Chen Yun had expected, even though the Xiafeng Group had promised to make up for the difference in ticket prices and amodation fees for everyone, the postponement of the performance still caused public anger.

    After all, 100,000 people was not a small number. In addition, everyone was not idle every day. Many people had other arrangements.

    This dy disrupted everyone¡¯s ns.

    [ I¡¯m really speechless. This is the first time I¡¯ve heard that the concert has to be dyed for a day. Is Xia Wanyuan arrogant?? Refund tickets, refund tickets. How annoying. I¡¯m still waiting to see other performances. ]

    [What¡¯s going on? Postpone for a day? I¡¯ve never heard of this saying. The wife of the richest man is willful and doesn¡¯t treat her fans as humans. Anyway, you¡¯re sure that the fans will tolerate you, right?]

    [ I¡¯m a fan, but I can¡¯t stand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions. I took so long to get here. Is it easy for me?? I¡¯ve already bought the bus tickets, but now, she¡¯s telling me that she actually has to wait for another day. I¡¯m speechless. I want to quit being a fan. Who wants tickets? Settle it at a low price. ]

    Instantly, all sorts of controversies arose. Xia Wanyuan was originally someone who had gathered arge number of popr gazes.

    Now, she had pushed herself to the center of attention.

    At this moment, there were even staff who exposed to the media.

    ¡°Do you know why we postponed it? ording to the staff, it was because we had to take care of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s delicate body. I heard that at the venue, Xia Wanyuan had to rest for a while after singing two songs. There were more than ten people in charge of taking care of her daily needs. The main reason for the postponement this time is that Xia Wanyuan felt tired and did not keep up with the rehearsal progress.¡±

    A marketing ount began to speak, and the others followed.

    At first, everyone was skeptical until a staff member posted a photo of Xia Wanyuan rehearsing.

    She sang on stage. There were people holding water, towels, and clothes beside her.

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk. The wife of the richest man is amazing. It¡¯s simply amazing to marry a good husband. She ys with the time of 100,000 people in minutes.]

    [ Are you crazy?? Even if Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t marry Jun Shiling, isn¡¯t she outstanding enough herself? You see her living well every day and think of her husband. How much do youck men? ]

    [Mm, outstanding enough to y with 100,000 people like monkeys. Amazing, amazing.]

    At this moment, the studio did not retort.

    After all, if they told the truth now, they were afraid that the person hiding behind the scenes would do something out of desperation.

    Late at night, everything seemed to have fallen silent. In the originally quiet venue, a cleaner brought tools into the venue to clean.

    ¡°Xiao Wang, go and check the stage. Sweep clean the ces that should be swept clean. Not to mention small stones, even a strand of hair can¡¯t be left on it.

    ¡°Okay.¡± The person called Xiao Wang pressed the brim of his hat and carried the bucket onto the stage.

    He dipped the mop in the bucket and began to clean the stage.

    He passed by a ce and shook out some powder from his sleeve.

    The powder fell to the ground and quickly condensed into an invisible membrane on the stage.

    If a professional saw it, they would realize that this was a new kind of wax membrane that took 18 hours to form.

    When the film was formed, it would be extremely smooth. When one stepped on it, they would fall without exception.

    Shaking the powder in a few different ces, he was currently done with his cleaning and the crowd began to leave.

    Xiao Wang shook his sleeves and swaggered out.

    Looking at therge sum of money in his ount, Xiao Wang happily went to the mall and bought a pile of high-end products that he usually could not bear to buy.

    When she returned home, before the packaging could be unwrapped, it was taken down by someone.

    ¡°Let go of me. What do you want??¡± After being brought to the interrogation room, Xiao Wang still refused to let go. ¡°This is illegal. I¡¯m going to sue you.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think that the people who revealed information to you are really ordinary people?¡±

 Chapter 1236 - Plan

    <h4>Chapter 1236: n</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xiao Wang was shocked. ¡°Anyway, I didn¡¯t do anything. This is illegal detention. I want to call the police. Let me go quickly!!¡±

    The person in the room threw the phone into Xiao Wang¡¯s arms. ¡°Stop shouting. Report it. We¡¯ll get the police to see how you shouted that you were wronged.¡±

    Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment and looked at his phone in surprise. In the end, he could not help but beg for mercy. ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Please let me go. I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to do. I¡¯ll give you the money that others gave me now, okay?¡±

    With that, Xiao Wang took out his bank card.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need your money. I just need you to do as we say.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay! I¡¯m willing to do anything!!¡±

    The bag of special materials that others had given Xiao Wang looked simple, but it was actually a military craft. Ordinary people could not get it at all.

    Xiao Wang called the other party.

    ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t I transfer the money to your ount? Why are you calling now?¡± The voice on the other end was very impatient.

    ¡°No.¡± Xiao Wang read ording to the content on the paper. ¡°I spilled half of my things. There are still a few key ces that I haven¡¯t gotten up.¡±

    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?!! Do you know how expensive those things are!! Did you spill them? If you spill them, you have to pay!!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, it¡¯s my problem.¡± Xiao Wang hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°Can I have another bag? There are a few main ces that I didn¡¯t spill. It won¡¯t be good if I dy things.¡±

    ¡°Just you wait.¡±

    About two minutester, the other party called back. ¡°Tomorrow morning at ten o¡¯clock, pick up something in the alley at the entrance of the Hu family in the suburbs.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡±

    After the other party hung up, Xiao Wang looked at the people in front of him. ¡°I¡¯m done. Can you let me go?¡±

    Everyone looked at each other and tied Xiao Wang up and took him away.

    Other than fans, the surrounding residents were also dissatisfied with the postponement.

    Because of this concert, the Xi¡¯an officials had given all sorts of preferential treatment and protection.

    Not only was there traffic control, but there was also the reorganization of the surrounding market.

    After all, this concert was a global live broadcast. The officials wanted to use this opportunity to advertise.

    As a result, the living conditions of the surrounding residents were affected.

    The people in the residential area and school especially protested the loudest.

    Because of the reorganization of the city, many small vendors could not set up their stalls. In addition, traffic control was extremely inconvenient to travel.

    Less than two hours after the studio posted the post, the residents of the district came out to cause trouble.

    Many people pulled banners with ¡°Xia Wanyuan returns our normal lives!!¡± ¡°Xia Wanyuan bullies others!¡± and so on.

    Many olddies and grandfathers were furious because they had to take their grandsons to and from school. They carried all sorts of broken eggs and vegetables and walked to a ce. When they saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poster, they threw on it.

    Although the fans were dissatisfied with the dy, they still liked idols. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poster being insulted like this, they were furious.

    Hence, the originally orderly street was filled with the arguing voices of the local residents and fans.

    The officials also had a headache. If they said that they were causing trouble and mobilized the official forces, if someone made a scene online, it would be another round of suppression of public power.

    If they did not care about it, most people who did not have much education were easily instigated. If this emotion surged, it might cause a huge disaster.

    The officials were worried. Even the director personally went to the hotel to visit Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Miss Xia, can you apologize to the residents in your name to appease everyone?¡± This was also amon method to appease the public¡¯s resentment.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed a cup of tea in front of the chief. ¡°If we don¡¯t resolve the matter and only resolve our emotions, we¡¯ll only brew bigger emotions.¡±

    The chief had really never heard such words from a celebrity. He looked at Xia Wanyuan and was slightly shocked by her aura.

    To be able to sit at his level, he was an expert at observing people.

    At this moment, he actually felt that Xia Wanyuan looked like an official, the kind who had been in a high position for a long time.

    The director subconsciously sounded respectful. ¡°Then in your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?¡±

    ¡°Before I came, I heard that there was a security check here. Why don¡¯t we take this opportunity to do this, Chief?¡±

    Although he did not understand the necessary connection between the two, Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable convincing temperament. The director nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll arrange it when I get back.¡±

    ¡°The public opinion is naturally important, but if you blindly care about the public opinion, you¡¯re no different from decorations. However, suppression is one thing. We¡¯ll send people to calcte the actual losses of the people andpensate them ording to the standards.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± In just a few minutes, the Bureau¡¯s headache was resolved. The director left happily.

    At this moment, in the underground domain of the district, a group of people was secretly delighted.

    ¡°Boss, these people are too stupid. They casually instigated them and went to protest together. With so many people leaving the neighborhood, wouldn¡¯t it be more convenient for us to do things?¡±

    ¡°Stupid. Ignore them. Are you ready?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything is ready. Bury ten points. When the circuit malfunctions, at least six points will have to burn. Follow the wind. The school will be next. They¡¯re all receiving you.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1237: CEO Jun Takes Revenge on the Jiang Family</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The group of people was about to bury the automatic circuit and leave when something unexpected happened.

    A subordinate ran in. ¡°Boss, something bad has happened. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with the city, but they suddenly want to conduct a fire investigation of this ce. Those residents have also been forcefully suppressed by them.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The middle-aged man called Boss went up to take a look at the situation. ¡°Continue to incite the people. Let¡¯s quickly finish what we¡¯re doing and leave. Let the property management lock this ce up.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The officials quickly sent people to seal this ce and forcefully suppressed everyone¡¯s protests.

    As the officials had expected, once it was forcefully suppressed, all sorts of public opinion storms would definitely appear on the Inte. This public opinion storm was especially eye-catching because it was tainted by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Everyone,e and take a look at the officials¡¯ ttering faces. So what if she¡¯s the wife of the richest man? The people have to make way for the wife of the richest man when she goes out on the streets. They even mobilized so many officials to suppress them. It¡¯s really hard on you.¡±

    The apanying photo was of various traffic restrictions and travel restrictions.

    With this tempo, there were immediately many people criticizing the Xi An officials and Xia Wanyuan online.

    [Don¡¯t you understand? Spending a city¡¯s police force to be a concert bodyguard for an actress is ridiculous.]

    [I don¡¯t understand. It¡¯s just a lousy concert, yet it¡¯s so ostentatious. Are you spending money to watch a performance or to pay respects to your ancestors?]

    [Objection. Request for immediate restoration of traffic and ending of all sorts of restrictions.]

    At this moment, at the entrance of the district, some people who had been specially hired to protest were holding banners and inciting the people to join them.

    Due to the public opinion online, the officials did not dare to act rashly.

    Seeing that the people who had finally gotten home were about to protest again, some uncles and aunties walked out of the neighborhood.

    The leader of the protest took out a loudspeaker and began to organize everyone.

    At that moment, a fewrge trucks suddenly drove in. Chen Yun jumped out of the car and took out arger horn.

    ¡°Hello, everyone!! Residents who can stay at home in peace today and cooperate with the fire inspection, every family can receive a set of cutlery, eggs, and a catty of pork from us.¡±

    To the ordinary people, saying a lot of principles was not as useful as a free egg reward.

    As expected, after Chen Yun finished speaking, the residents hesitantly leaned towards the truck.

    Chen Yun got someone to move the things down and took out the mouth he had learned from shopping with his wife. ¡°Look at this cutlery. It¡¯ll be so prideful to entertain guests at home during the holidays. Look at this meat. Let me tell you, it¡¯s so fresh.¡±

    Seeing that everyone was tempted, Chen Yun waved his hand. ¡°Now, all of you go back and wait at home. We¡¯ll send someone to send them up door to door.¡±

    Before Chen Yun could finish speaking, therge group of people in front of him ran faster than anyone else. In the blink of an eye, the entrance of the district, which had been chaotic just now, became quiet and peaceful.

    Only a few people holding banners were left behind. They were silently embarrassed.

    Chen Yun did as he said and quickly got someone to send the things into every house.

    After receiving Chen Yun¡¯s things, everyone was naturally embarrassed to scold Xia Wanyuan online.

    Hence, while theizens were still helping everyone scold Xia Wanyuan indignantly, the residents of the district appeared to protect her.

    [ Don¡¯t talk nonsense. We¡¯re doing quite well. I wonder who¡¯s spreading rumors ahead. The officials didn¡¯t hurt us, okay? ]

    [That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. So what if she holds a concert? Holding a concert will generate ie for us locally and increase our entertainment projects. What a good thing.]

    Theizens were confused.?<i>So now is not the time for you to go online and ask for help? Aren¡¯t you the ones who scolded the most at that time?? A few eggs and some meat attracted you. You¡¯re too spineless!!?</i>

    However, when they saw the braised eggs and stir-fried meat that the residents posted online, theizens were drooling<i>. Hey, who could resist the temptation of eggs and meat?! If it were us, we would not be able to either!?</i>

    With the cooperation of the people, although it looked like a fire investigation, theprehensive investigation went very smoothly.

    Not long after, Xia Yu received the news and realized that there was a circuit error in the neighborhood.

    ¡°Don¡¯t alert the enemy first. Secretly connect the correct route. When they take action in the evening, take them all down.¡± Xia Yu gave the order and his subordinates immediately went to do it.

    At the same time, at the entrance of an alley, a ck car slowly drove in.

    Xiao Wang¡¯s phone rang as well. It was the same impatient male voice. ¡°Where are you? Hurry up. I¡¯m still busy here. If you dare to lose it again, see how I¡¯ll deal with you.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Brother, go further in. I¡¯m around the corner.¡±

    A man got out of the ck car with a bag in his hand. Just as he turned the corner and was about to call Brother Xiao Wang again, a group of people jumped down from the wall and pressed him to the ground.

    In the field, all the ces were carefully checked again.

    Jun Shiling was naturally not at ease with using ordinary staff in the venue. These people were all retired people who had been recruited and had extremely strong reconnaissance abilities. The staff who had identally ¡°disclosed¡± the news to Xiao Wangst time had been sent here by Jun Shiling.

    At this moment, all the safety hidden dangers had basically been eliminated. At the entrance of the venue, the audience began to enter one after another.

    Backstage, Xia Wanyuan was seriously preparing.

    Suddenly, the originally bustling backstage became quiet. Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    As expected, Jun Shiling was here.

    Jun Shiling was holding arge bouquet of roses in his hand. He smiled and walked towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Have a good performance.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the flowers. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in front.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and nted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    It was gradually seven o¡¯clock, and the performance was about to begin.

    At the same time, unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in the neighborhood around the venue.

    Everyone went to their respective points ording to the original n. After a round of operations, everyone got into the car and drove at least five kilometers before reporting to their superiors.

    At this moment, the person in charge of overallmand estimated that Xia Wanyuan had already gone on stage, so he pressed the switch in his hand.

    However, one, two, three¡­ An entire minute passed, and nothing abnormal happened.

    There were peopleing and going on the street, and the cars were unimpeded. The opening music came from the venue, and everything was so calm that it made one¡¯s heart palpitate.

    Xi¡¯an was peaceful. At this moment, in the south of America, the Jiang family¡¯s factory warehouse overseas.

    A huge explosion suddenly happened. Almost all the products stored in the entire warehouse were wiped out.

    In the Jiang family, Jiang Kui was lying leisurely on the sofa. Liu Tanyu was sitting beside him, feeding Jiang Kui grapes.

    The sweet grape entered his mouth, and Jiang Kui stretchedzily.

    He nced at Zou Man, who was not far away. ¡°Manman, pour me a cup of tea.¡±

    Zou Man looked at Jiang Kui¡¯s depraved appearance and felt an indescribable feeling.

    Actually, when she first met Jiang Kui, he was a young man with a lot of fighting spirit. He was willing to work hard and fight hard.

    Over the past few days, with Liu Tanyu serving him gently, Jiang Kui seemed to have suddenly opened the door between a man and a woman. He enjoyed Zou Man and Liu Tanyu¡¯spetition for favor.

    ¡°Sister, Hubby said he wants to drink water. Hurry up and pour it for him.¡±

    Liu Tanyu¡¯s soft voice broke Zou Man¡¯s thoughts. She stood up and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui took it. Just as the cup approached his lips, the phone rang.

    Liu Tanyu thoughtfully pressed the answer button for him and whispered into his ear, ¡°CEO Jiang! Not good!! Something happened to the overseas warehouse!¡±

    Jiang Kui pursed his lips indifferently. ¡°Why are you panicking? What big problem can there be?? Look at how flustered you are.¡±

    ¡°Warehouse 1 exploded! The products we¡¯re about to release from the warehouse are gone!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Jiang Kui panicked and spilled the tea on Liu Tanyu, causing her to exim. However, Jiang Kui was in no mood to care about this. He took the phone upstairs. ¡°Tell me in detail, what?!!! Book a ne ticket for me now. I¡¯ll go to America immediately!¡±

    In the living room, Liu Tanyu was wiping her wound. She inadvertently looked up and saw Zou Man sizing her up. ¡°What are you looking at? Are you very smug?¡±

    Zou Man looked away with a hint of mockery in her eyes. She was unwilling to talk to Liu Tanyu anymore and turned to leave.

    At this moment, Xi¡¯an was peaceful and quiet. The concert was slowly starting.

    When the audience entered the venue, they were all sitting in their designated seats. However, when the concert began and the lights dimmed, everyone realized that their seats were slowly moving.

    Just as everyone was shocked and bewildered, a staff memberforted everyone. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. We¡¯re indeed adjusting our seats. Everyone, just wait quietly.¡±

    About five minutester, the venue began to light up, apanied by the sound of running water.

    The stars scattered and everything was born. When the entire venue lit up, exmations sounded.

    The seats that had been arranged regrly were now in staggered positions.

    The entire field was created by 3D special effects to look like a beautiful mountain.

    Flowers bloomed by his feet. Reaching out was like plucking peaches from a tree. From time to time, divine birds flew past his head. Mist lingered and rose in the mountains.

    The audience was scattered in the mountains. The aisle was filled with flowing springs, and fish could be seen swimming in the music.

    At this moment, the venue no longer looked like a venue. The audience tform hadpletely integrated with the stage.

    This ce seemed to have be Yaotai Immortal Mountain.

    The audience was stunned by this scene. Theizens watching the live broadcast at the same time were also stunned.

    [???? This is a concert? Whose concert looks like this? Just based on this scene, a few hundred yuan worth of tickets is worth it. I don¡¯t want to watch anymore. I¡¯m so jealous. Why didn¡¯t I snatch tickets back then?]

    [!!! Ahhh, is it toote for me to go back now?? I shouldn¡¯t have listened to my boyfriend. We¡¯re already in Xi¡¯an. Because they dyed it for a day, my boyfriend came back in a hurry. I¡¯m so jealous now!! If I had known that the concert special effects would be so good, I would be willing to wait another year! ]

    [ Those who can¡¯t snatch tickets silently shed envious tears. Boohoo, can we still start the second round?? I¡¯m so jealous. Why am I not the one at the scene? I feel it¡¯s too lucky to watch it live. ]

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s preference was ancient style, so she chose the opening song, ¡°Hundred Birds Worship the Phoenix¡±.

    When the music sounded, birds kept flying out of the mountain and towards the center of the stage.

    At this moment, colorful birds circled above the stage from all directions.

    After a phoenix cry,

    Arge area of mes burned in the air above the stage. At the same time, Xia Wanyuan flew down with a huge pair of wings that burned with special effects.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak. Everyone was screaming and cheering.

    At the same time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s prating voice sounded in the venue.

    The phoenix soared into the sky with the hope and struggle of rebirth.

    As the music changed, the scene in the entire venue changed at the same time. mes burned and red waves surged.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s singing filled the ears, and in front was a real special effect scene.

    Under the double immersion, everyone seemed to have really been brought into that moment when the phoenix soared into the sky by Xia Wanyuan. Following the quenching of the phoenix and nirvana, they were in pain, struggling, and rushing into the sky.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished singing, the audience felt as if they had received a baptism from the depths. Their souls seemed to be trembling from the performance just now.

    Everyone was looking forward to the next performance.

    The subsequent performances also showed that every song was more moving than the previous one. Every moment made the audience feel more satisfied.

    The special effects in the venue were not static. On the contrary, the seats and special effects would change during the connection time of every song.

    One second ago, the audience was still dancing with Taibai. The next moment, they were admiring the wind, flowers, snow, and moon on the Jinling Tower. This song smelled the fragrance of the snow and plums on the cliff. The next scene was admiring the lotus pond in the Cloud Dream Marsh.

    The audience¡¯s satisfaction could be said to be as high as 100,000.

    The satisfaction of the audience in the live-stream was negative 10,000%.

    Because everyone was really jealous, these magnificent scenes, coupled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunning singing, were already perfect just by looking at the live-stream. Thinking about how they could experience it live, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with jealousy.

    Compared to the various lemons that the domestic audience swiped in the live-stream, the foreign live-stream was filled with surprise.

    This was because the inherent impression of China in everyone¡¯s eyes was too deep-rooted. Even though Xia Wanyuan had been working hard to promote it, everyone was only limited to changing their opinions. They felt that China had a long history, and the entire country was not as warlike and barbaric as the Western propaganda.

    However, everyone was still stuck on the old concept of China¡¯s technology. They felt that it was only so-so. After all, it had only developed not long ago.

    However, this concert that could be said to be a show-off shocked everyone.

    <h4>Chapter 1239: Gathering of Big Bosses</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    It was indeed difficult to remove an inherent impression, but once a crack was torn open, those discriminatory actions would gradually be eliminated.

    Looking at the beautiful stage effect in the live-stream, even those who did not know anything could tell that such an effect required a lot of technology support.

    [Didn¡¯t they say that China is very backward? It seems different from what I imagined. This light and stage effect are really beautiful.]

    [ It¡¯s so beautiful. I¡¯ve never seen such a concert before. I suddenly want to see Xia Wanyuan sing. I wonder if she¡¯ll hold such a concert in the future? ]

    [The media keeps saying how backward China is. In the end, I think it¡¯s quite good. On the other hand, our stage is extremely old-fashioned. Hehe, you still have the cheek to mock her.]

    In the venue, the seats and special effects were being changed.

    After the debugging ended, the atmosphere in the entire venue became a little fanciful. It was a little different from the atmosphere just now. Just as everyone was discussing,

    On the stage, Xia Wanyuan walked out in a white gown and a beautiful crown.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s close-up figure appeared on the big screens in all directions. She smiled at the camera. ¡°Thank you foring here.¡±

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the venue was filled with cheers.

    ¡°I know everyone has waited for a long time. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, we¡¯ll hold another one.¡±

    Speaking of which, the ¡°Wanfeng¡± album that Xia Wanyuan had casually released was still at the top of China¡¯s popr album rankings. It was enough to show that Xia Wanyuan had many fans, but she had always been busy and could not find time to satisfy the fans¡¯ expectations.

    The fans in the venue were also true fans and understood Xia Wanyuan very well. They shouted, ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled rarely, and a dimple appeared at the corners of her lips. ¡°What about the next song? I¡¯ll find someone to sing it with me. Does everyone agree?¡±

    With that, the atmosphere in the entire venue became lively.

    On the big screen, the camera began to scan the audience in the entire venue.

    At this moment, everyone saw that so many other celebrities hade.

    An Rao waved excitedly at the camera. Yan Ci, whom she had not seen for a long time, was sitting beside her. Most of the actors who had filmed television dramas together with her were among them.

    In fact, many teachers of Qing University, as long as they did not have sses, ran over to watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert.

    There were also all sorts of masters in the Go, zither, calligraphy, and painting world that were not easily seen, as well as the contestants of the national sports world.

    The camera swept over. For a moment, theizens even felt that they were attending a national conference and not a concert.

    [This audience¡¯s ostentation hahahahaha. Amazing. Which concert can see so many masters and experts?]

    [I think I saw our teacher. Our professor told us that he had a research project overseas in the past two days and asked us to take a break ourselves. After all this time, the professor went to watch a concert. Professor, you¡¯re too much!!]

    [ Oh my god, so many big shots. I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying. Why didn¡¯t I snatch the tickets? I hate my lousy hand speed. This concert was too worth watching. Boohoo, so many big shots can breathe in the same ce as the big shots. I feel that I can instantly be much smarter. ]

    Most people waved eagerly, wanting to be captured by the camera.

    However, there were also some people in the venue who lowered their heads silently and covered themselves with their hats, not wanting to appear on the big screen.

    It was not until a loud scream that could almost overturn the roof erupted in the venue that the figure on the big screen stopped rolling. Only then did the person in the corner in the back slowly look up.

    It was Xuan Sheng. Looking at Jun Shiling, who appeared on the big screen, a hint of darkness shed across his eyes. There was also a hint of envy.

    Not far away, a foreign man in a cap also hesitantly let go of his face. Ryan looked around. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t be discovered.¡±

    Because of the inheritance, everyone in the family now regarded Xia Wanyuan as a thorn in their flesh. If they knew that he was secretly watching Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert, he would definitely die miserably.

    Ryan adjusted his hat, put on a mask, and secretly continued to watch the concert. When he saw Jun Shiling appear on the big screen, Ryan could not help but feel jealous. ¡°Damn it!!¡±

    Simr to Ryan, there were also arge number of other audiences in the venue.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fanposition was very bnced. She had many male fans. At this moment, half of the audience were male fans. Everyone had the same mentality as Ryan.?<i>That was, the goddess was showing off her love again. How sad!!?</i>

    Hence, when the camera was directed at the audience, they could see arge group of sour male audience.

    At this moment, in the middle of the first row, Jun Shiling stood up and walked onto the stage. He took the microphone from Xia Wanyuan and stood beside her.

    Standing side by side, they were an immortal couple.

    The male fans¡¯ sour lemon emotions were immediatelyforted. After all, they did not seem to be able to find any ws in Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°There¡¯s a fee for additional activities.¡±

    The audience screamed. Hearing everyone¡¯s cheers, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°How much?¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the right cheek, then retreated. ¡°This will do.¡±

    The dazzling Xia Wanyuan on the stage was really irresistible.

    [This dog food¡­ Ah! I can!! Continue! Don¡¯t stop!]

    [I¡¯m just a single dog who came to watch a concert! Why are you doing this to me!!]

    In the venue, being kissed in front of so many people, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed. ¡°Do you remember the song I wrote for you? Let¡¯s sing that song together.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    Everyone thought that once they began to sing, they would not eat dog food anymore. However, reality proved that

    Dog food was everywhere, and it went up another level.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had written a love song for Jun Shiling.

    The two of them sang to the audience at first. After singing a few words, they stood opposite each other and stared at each other with smiles on their faces.

    [I paid!! Respect me!! Turn around! You¡¯re not allowed to watch the other party sing. Leave some life for the single dog.]

    [This pink bubble, what¡¯s with the auntie smile on my face? Hahahahaha, it¡¯s so sweet. The CP I follow is still the sweetest in the world.]

    [I didn¡¯t expect CEO Jun to sing so well¡­ Is this the legendary person who not only opened the skylight and the door, but also lifted the roof for him and gave him a universe?]

    The songsted three minutes, but in everyone¡¯s eyes, it was a very long three minutes.

    After the song ended, Jun Shiling left the stage. Then, An Rao, who kept waving her hands, was invited onto the stage.

    At the same time, a foreign superstar that everyone was very familiar with appeared in their sights.

    Everyone was very puzzled.<i>?How was this person rted to Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Amidst everyone¡¯s exmations, the person who slowly appeared on the stage was the national treasure queen of Ennd, Yili.

    It was not strange for a singer from another country to appear at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert. What was strange was that Yili was actually extremely cold and aloof. Furthermore, she had half of the royal bloodline and prided herself on being noble. In terms of status, she could be said to be the princess of the royal family of Ennd.

    She had never even participated in many activities in Ennd, let alone perform in other countries.

    However, her sudden appearance at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert today surprised everyone.

    On the stage, the audience did not realize that Yili¡¯s eyes were shining as she looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Last year, Xia Wanyuan had gone to Continent O to record a variety show. There, shepeted in horsemanship with Prince Charlie. At that time, Yili happened to be in the racecourse and fell in love with this valiant and heroic Chinese woman when she rode.

    After returning to China, Yili went to Prince Charlie to ask about Xia Wanyuan. After understanding her series of events, Yili unterally became Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan.

    Coincidentally, she had intercepted Prince Charlie¡¯s ne ticket this time. Knowing that Prince Charlie wasing to China to secretly watch the concert, Yili simply got someone to contact Xia Wanyuan and became a special guest for the concert.

    This was why there was this huge fusion that shocked the world.

    Yili was extremely professional and quickly matched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rhythm. Although they were two different voices, the emotions conveyed by the song were equally moving.

    After the song ended, Yili and Xia Wanyuan gave each other a light hug and left the stage.

    Then, her seat was taken by Lisa, the famous pop diva in America.

    As if they still felt that everyone was not shocked enough, some sharp-eyedizens quickly realized that the person dancing for Xia Wanyuan on the stage seemed to be a globally famous dance master.

    Due to the fact that the special effects of this concert were too realistic, the audience wondered if these were simted by the special effects.

    However, in the next second, when Lisa spoke, everyone knew that it was her. Such a recognizable voice could not be simted with technology alone.

    [What kind of immortal alliance is this? I¡¯m stunned. I¡¯m getting more and more jealous. This special effect, these magical guests, f*ck, the tickets to this concert are too worth it.]

    [ Ahhh, I like Lisa so much. She¡¯s a popr music godmother-level figure in America!!! She actually performed on the same stage as Xia Wanyuan. What kind of immortal alliance is this? ]

    [ Uh, probably because Jun Shiling is rich, so he invited these big shots over? ]

    Xia Wanyuan and Lisa were working on a niche song, but everyone present knew that this niche song would probably be a world-famous song after this concert.

    When thest notended on the stage, Lisa turned around and hugged Xia Wanyuan. Then, she looked at the audience. ¡°I¡¯m very happy to be able toe here and perform with Xia Wanyuan for everyone. I¡¯ll leave the rest to her. I¡¯ll go down first. Goodbye.¡±

    With the help of these two mysterious guests, the atmosphere quickly soared, and the concert gradually came to an end.

    ¡°Concerts are supposed to be dedicated to singing, but at the end of the day, I want to dance for everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan gradually retreated from the stage, and only her light voice echoed in the venue.

    Not to mention dancing, even if Xia Wanyuan stood on the stage and did not move, the audience would be so excited that they would fly into the sky. The crowd cheered.

    The lights gradually dimmed and the scene began to change again.

    Slowly, everyone realized that their seats began to change again. The venue became a gxy with countless stars scattered among it. Wherever they touched, they seemed to be able to pluck the moon that had formed billions of years ago.

    At that moment, a beam of light shone down on the stage. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a white ancient-style dress and slowly appeared in front of everyone.

    At the same time, a huge drawing board appeared behind her. More than ten dye tes appeared in front of her.

    Her long sleeves fluttered, and her watery cloud sleeves were stained with ink. She sprinkled it on the drawing board to her heart¡¯s content. The originally light watery cloud sleeves seemed to be filled with strength at this moment, and she carved marks on the drawing board one by one.

    However, what attracted the most attention was not Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting, but her graceful dance. She was clearly extremely soft, but she had the firm temperament of a cliff.

    The water sleeves danced in the air, winding into sleeve flowers. From time to time, they flew down like a waterfall with an imposing aura.

    Everyone was immersed in the dance for a long time. It was only when the music stopped that everyone snapped out of their daze. When they saw the painting of the rising sun on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back, everyone was even more shocked.

    If one did not see it with their own eyes, no one would have thought that this was actually drawn during the dance.

    [ So much for a god. It¡¯s simply a blessing to be a fan of such an idol. Boohoo, I love Xia Wanyuan too much. ]

    [ Awesome!! This painting looks very valuable at a nce. Why do I feel that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting skills have improved again? She can draw such a level with her sleeve. Even if I copy it with a pen, it¡¯ll look like a ghost drawing. ]

    [ Thank you, Xia Wanyuan. You¡¯ve once again let me know the difference between a god and a mortal. I¡¯d better eat and wait for death in peace. ]

    Finally, it was the end of the concert. Xia Wanyuan stood on the stage and panted slightly. Then, she waved at the audience. ¡°Thank you foring. I prepared gifts for everyone this time.¡±

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, a shining star appeared in front of everyone.

    Everyone thought that it was a special effect, but when they touched it, they realized that it was real. The bright stars cracked from the middle, revealing the gift box inside.

    At that moment, on the screen in the middle of the stage, the camera was specially focused on Jun Shiling. He opened the bright stars. Inside was a beautiful ring and another one. Jun Shiling had seen it at the concert just now and it was on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    The audience in the live-stream:?<i>I hate it. I wish I was blind now. This way, I don¡¯t have to be envious and jealous of others.?</i>

    At this point, the concert was aplete sess.

    After Xia Wanyuan left the venue, the audience slowly left the venue with satisfaction and reluctance.

    At this moment, in the corner of thest row of the venue, a man in a hat was quietly looking at the stars in front of him in a daze.

    The audience looked at him in confusion when they left. ¡°Brother, open it quickly.¡±

    It was only after everyone left that Xuan Sheng slowly opened the bright star.

    Then he froze.

    It was different from the uniform porcin and embroidery of the other audience.

    His star contained a cassette and a letter.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xuan Sheng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He looked at the gift in the stars in front of him in a daze.

    <i>It turned out that she knew I was here.?</i>

    <i>That¡¯s right. How could a smart person like Xia Wanyuan not know??</i>

    Xuan Sheng reached out and took the letter. Just as he was about to open it, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped. He ced the letter in his pocket, took the stars and tape, and stood up to leave.

    On the other hand, Ryan looked at the doll model in front of him and was shocked for a moment.

    As the second young master of the Blue family, the fact that he liked to y with models was kept a secret. After all, if word got out, people would think that he was childish and it was not easy to talk business.

    However, he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to know his preferences and even specially give him a gift.

    Ryan¡¯s eyes lit up.<i>?Ow ow! She was indeed my goddess!!</i>

    Ryan, who was already very biased towards Xia Wanyuan, hadpletely be her loyal fan.

    Continent F.

    ¡°Brother, does it look good?¡± Yu Qian and Wei Zimu sat in front of the big screen. On the screen, Xia Wanyuan was unleashing her beauty on the stage.

    Wei Zimu reached out and turned off the screen. He looked at Yu Qian. ¡°What do you want to do?? I¡¯ve already told you not to pay attention to Xia Wanyuan anymore. We¡¯re already strangers.¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯re strangers to her, but I¡¯m not with her. Don¡¯t you think Xia Wanyuan is quite interesting?¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s expression suddenly turned ugly. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Yu Qian did not respond anymore. Instead, he reached out and turned on the television screen. On it, Xia Wanyuan was dancing, and every move was stunning.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After the concert ended, Xia Wanyuan had just removed her makeup when Jun Shiling arrived beside her with the ring Xia Wanyuan had given her.

    Jun Shiling took the wet towel and wiped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯ve really grown capable.¡±

    A hint of guilt shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Actually, that dance was addedter. After all, Jun Shiling did not allow her to have any intense activities, but the dance itself was safe. She only decided to add this dance after asking Shen Xiu.

    ¡°Shen Xiu said yes.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted coldly.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and gently hooked Jun Shiling with her little finger. Jun Shiling instantly surrendered. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    There were many things to do, so the two of them returned to Beijing from Xi¡¯an overnight.

    This concert temporarily ended, but the discussion about the concert became more and more intense.

    The most curious question was,?<i>how much did this concert cost???</i>

    Anyone who was not blind could tell that the money for those sets, special effects, and gifts could exceed the most ordinary ticket prices.

    Other concerts could ept advertisements and cooperation. Xia Wanyuan did not ept anything and only sang and danced.

    Someizens calcted for Xia Wanyuan and concluded that Xia Wanyuan had lost as much as 500 million yuan in this concert. It was aplete loss.

    While the domesticizens were specting about the cost and discussing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wealth, the foreignizens were discussing Yili, Lisa, and the others joining.

    These two people were much more famous than Xia Wanyuan in the world. They were both famous god-level singers.

    Theizens could not understand at all. It was too embarrassing for someone of their level to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s green leaf.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s status as the wife of the richest man, many people internationally condemned Xia Wanyuan for using money and power to force their goddess to be a foil for her.

    Even though the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had received widespread praise internationally, it was only limited to movies. Xia Wanyuan was considered to have made her first appearance in the world.

    Compared to internationally famous god singers like Yili and Lisa, Xia Wanyuan seemed much inferior. The fans of the god singers were naturally unwilling to see an unknown actress step on their idol¡¯s shoulder.

    [ I¡¯ve been listening to you talk about Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s just a person right?? It¡¯s good to be rich. She can force my idol to be a supporting role for her. ]

    [ The person in front, your words are so strange. Didn¡¯t your idol take the money?? If your idol is willing, why are you being sarcastic here?? Are you, as a fan, stretching your hand too far? ]

    [ The Chinese are really interesting. How dare theyin that our hands are long? If you have the ability, tell Xia Wanyuan not to spend money to do such a thing. Don¡¯t order people around with money openly. ]

    The Inte was filled with controversy, but these controversies did notst long.

    This time, before Xia Wanyuan could exin, Yili and Lisa stood up to rify for her.

    Yili herself was straightforward and replied to aizen with her private ount.

    ¡°You look down on me too much. I don¡¯t need others to insult me with money. Thank you, Xia Wanyuan, my idol.¡±

    Yili¡¯s reply was too direct, so much so that no one could react, especially the word ¡°idol¡±, which stunned everyone.

    Yili was much older than Xia Wanyuan herself and had much more industry experience than her.

    <i>Idol?? You must have typed the wrong word.?</i>

    Some fans raised their doubts and were retorted by Yili herself. ¡°I don¡¯t have to exin to you who I like.¡±

    Looking at this familiar arrogant way of speaking, the fans finally confirmed that it was their Miss Yili.

    Lisa did not appear herself. Instead, she entrusted the studio to help her release a statement. In the statement, she dered that she was attending Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert not because of money, but because she admired Xia Wanyuan very much.

    Lisa was a famous singer in the world who had been speaking up for women.

    She was actually not familiar with Xia Wanyuan, but after knowing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various deeds, Lisa was touched by her. She also admired Xia Wanyuan for carrying countless responsibilities as a woman and even doing many great things.

    Lisa dered that she had been moved by Xia Wanyuan and volunteered to attend the concert. She was very grateful that Xia Wanyuan was willing to give her this opportunity.

    At this point, manyizens had nothing to say. After all, all the main characters had stood up to exin. If they continued to scold Xia Wanyuan, it would be simply unreasonable.

    However, because of this matter, more people began to wonder what Xia Wanyuan had done to attract so many world-ss gods to be friends with her.

    After everyone knew Xia Wanyuan a little better, they understood and fell for her.

    Hence, after the increase in the box office of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± had stopped as time passed, there was suddenly another wave of rapid growth because of this concert.

    This increase mainly came from the world market.

    The world¡¯srgest investment monitoring agency had been observing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert.

    At the end of the concert, the data analysis given by the agency was that Xia Wanyuan had a loss of 500 to 1 billion yuan.

    However, a week after the concert ended, the agency was surprised to discover that

    The situation did not seem right.

    On the surface, the investment in the concert was far greater than its expenditure. After all, the money for the tickets could not even fill the gift expenses Xia Wanyuan had prepared.

    However, from the subsequent impact, the more the organization recorded, the more shocked they became.

    This was because a concert was almost an exponential increase in Xia Wanyuan herself, the Jun Corporation, the image of the entire China, and the promotion of all sorts of technology.

    It was just that the post-production special effects studio under Xia Wanyuan had appeared twice through the fashion press conference and concert and jumped to the most eye-catching studio in the world. It had to be known that manypanies might not be able to achieve such poprity and exposure even after hundreds of years of hard work.

    Not to mention that because of this worldwide live broadcast, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s image continued to advance internationally.

    The Xi¡¯an officials were even more overjoyed. Originally, everyone¡¯s n was to publicize their tourist resources through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert. Who would have thought that with this publicity, the number of tourist reservations would be filled? The Tourism Bureau hadpleted half a year¡¯s results in a month, and the employees¡¯ bonuses were so good, let alone the local people who lived on tourism and earned a lot.

    From a business perspective, Xia Wanyuan had given every fan a gift. It did look like she had lost money.

    However, the gifts were all products under the Xiafeng Group, which was equivalent to saving a sum of advertising fees to promote the world.

    In addition, many of the people who were willing to spend money to attend the concert were Xia Wanyuan¡¯s loyal fans. No one was willing to take their idol¡¯s gift for free. After the concert ended, they began to spend vengefully when they returned home. Many people bought products that far exceeded the value of the gift.

    Although the concert had only ended less than a week ago, from all the statistics, it was temporarily a loss. However, in the long term, the value of this concert was simply immeasurable.

    Because of this concert, nearly ten thousand research papers and papers appeared in the financial industry in a week.

    Although a week had passed in the manor, Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling¡¯s unteral cold war had not ended.

    Even when they were eating, Xiao Bao was unwilling to sit with Jun Shiling. Instead, he carried a small bowl with his back facing him.

    ¡°Let me remind you again. You have to be polite when eating. It¡¯s very wrong for you to have your back facing others like this.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded in the dining room. It was cold, making Xiao Bao tremble.

    Although Xiao Bao was angry, he still listened to Jun Shiling obediently and sat properly on the chair. However, his round face clearly said that he was unhappy.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up a chicken wing for Xiao Bao. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. Your father is also protecting your safety.¡±

    Initially, Jun Shiling had nned to bring Xiao Bao to Xi¡¯an, but before he set off, he received a call from Xia Yu. Jun Shiling changed his mind and left Xiao Bao in the manor.

    In the end, Xiao Bao watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert on television.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s aggrieved tears fell. ¡°Daddy and Sister are watching Mommy¡¯s concert, but Daddy won¡¯t bring me. Daddy likes Sister more and doesn¡¯t like me. Boohoo.¡±

    The more Xiao Bao thought about it, the sadder he became. In the end, he did not even eat his favorite chicken wings. He sat on the chair and cried.

    Xia Wanyuan had no choice. She could not coax him even if she wanted to.

    He who hid it could find it. This matter was started by Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan could only give Jun Shiling a look. ¡°You provoked him. You¡¯re in charge of coaxing him.¡±

    Jun Shiling could not stand Xiao Bao crying for no reason. He grabbed the back of Xiao Bao¡¯s cor and pulled him onto hisp.

    Xiao Bao struggled for a while. ¡°Put me down. I don¡¯t want to sit with you. You don¡¯t like me at all. You left me alone to watch Mommy¡¯s concert.¡±

    ¡°Look at this.¡± Jun Shiling did not waste his breath on him. He took out his phone and found a piece of news that the media had just posted and ced it in front of Xiao Bao.

    Through ayer of misty tears, Xiao Bao secretly nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s phone and was stunned. He looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, is it true?¡±

    ¡°What else?¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao picked up his phone and looked at it seriously. His face was filled with anger and embarrassment.

    In the end, Xiao Bao got down from Jun Shiling¡¯sp awkwardly and apologized to Jun Shiling seriously. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m sorry. I misunderstood you.¡±

    Jun Shiling pointed at Xiao Bao¡¯s bowl. ¡°Finish the vegetables inside.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao had always been very clear that he had to get what he deserved. If he wronged someone else, he had to apologize and be punished.

    Xiao Bao leaned towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t be afraid. When I grow up, I¡¯ll protect you. No one can hurt you.¡±

    Hearing Xiao Bao¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart surged with warmth. She stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°I understand. Hurry up and eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded and handed the phone back to Jun Shiling.

    The restaurant returned to silence, but at this moment, Weibo was in a huge controversy because of a news article that the media had just posted.

    That day, under Xia Yu¡¯s lead, the Xi¡¯an police used the fire investigation opportunity to search the entire surrounding neighborhood.

    After discovering the anomaly, they pretended to continue searching while modifying the circuits in the entire district overnight to return them to normal.

    The next day, after everyone entered the established location, the police caught someone with the stolen goods and arrested nearly thirty criminals.

    After a week of interrogation, thirty criminals confessed to the fact that they had deliberately set fire to the neighborhood to prevent Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert from being held.

    After thoroughly sorting out the case, the police finally announced the dangerous situation to the outside world.

    At this moment, the residents who had caused trouble realized that

    It turned out that the reason why Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert was postponed was not because Xia Wanyuan was acting like a big shot, or because there was a problem with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedule.

    Instead, it was to protect their safety and investigate hidden dangers.

    Only then did theizens understand the truth. They deleted thements that had followed and insulted Xia Wanyuan.

    Other than apologizing to Xia Wanyuan, everyone had a more curious question.?<i>Who had the ability to organize nearly thirty people to carry out this operation?</i>

    <i>Furthermore, why was this person so ruthless? He wanted to treat the lives of an entire neighborhood¡¯s residents as child¡¯s y just to stop Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert.</i>

    <i>How much hatred did he have??</i>

 Chapter 1244 - Untitled

    <h4>Chapter 1244: Untitled</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The police sorted out the incident in detail and omitted some details that could not be announced to the public. They told the public everything else.

    After interrogating more than thirty people, the police came to the conclusion that this crazy incident was actually nned by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anti-fans.

    The reason was that the anti-fan did not like Xia Wanyuan and did not want her concert to seed.

    [F*ck, what kind of rotten person is this? Is he going to be so ruthless just because he doesn¡¯t like a celebrity? Could it be that if he doesn¡¯t like someone, he wants the other party to disappear?]

    [ Uh¡­ I keep feeling that it¡¯s not that simple. Which anti-fan can have this ability?? Not to mention that more than thirty people are difficult to find, explosives, tools, and so on can¡¯t be easily obtained. ]

    [ F*ck, I¡¯ve imagined countless novel plots. Xia Wanyuan is not just a celebrity. She¡¯s the mistress of the Jun family. If anything happens to her, it¡¯ll be a big deal. I keep feeling that the police will only find a scapegoat. ]

    Theizens were just saying it casually.

    Jun Shiling did not make things difficult for them. After all, he knew better than anyone who was behind this operation. Furthermore, he had already given the other party the punishment he deserved.

    In Continent M, in the Jiang family¡¯s headquarters, Jiang Kui was so angry that his hands were trembling when he faced the breached orders.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, so far, we¡¯ve lost as many as 120 customer orders, and the amount of losses involved is as high as five billion.¡±

    After all, the warehouse that exploded this time was not a branch warehouse, but the Jiang Corporation¡¯s main swing space in Continent M.

    The value of the goods being exported out of the warehouse every minute and second here was calcted in tens of thousands.

    Hearing his assistant¡¯s report, Jiang Kui¡¯s already troubled heart became even more anxious. ¡°Have you found the reason?¡±

    ¡°I found it.¡± The assistant hesitated and did not dare to speak. ¡°The reason I found it was that a terrorist wanted to take revenge on America, so he randomly chose a ce to bomb.¡±

    Before the assistant could finish speaking, Jiang Kui threw his cup over. ¡°Do you believe such lying nonsense yourself?!!¡±

    The assistant pursed his lips and thought to himself,<i>?Didn¡¯t you casually find a scapegoat for Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    It was quite ridiculous for anti-fans to take revenge.

    ¡°It must be Jun Shiling!!!¡± Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°The time of the explosion here is exactly the same as when we moved in the country. It¡¯s too coincidental. He must be behind it!!!¡±

    Thinking that not only had he failed to destroy Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert, but he had even built a warehouse in Continent M and caused such a huge loss, Jiang Kui¡¯s heart was bleeding.

    ¡°Damn Jun Shiling, you and I are irreconcble!!¡± Jiang Kui mmed the table.

    How could the golden silk desk crack so easily? Jiang Kui punched it, but his hand was injured. The assistant looked at Jiang Kui speechlessly and shook his head in his heart. Then, he respectfully found the medicine and bandaged Jiang Kui.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ever since he saw the news that someone wanted to harm Xia Wanyuanst time, Xiao Bao had begun to study harder.

    ording to him, ¡°Only by studying hard can I protect Mommy better in the future.¡±

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and read. Xiao Bao sat beside her obediently and memorized words. He asked Xia Wanyuan when he saw something he did not understand. The air was filled with the peaceful and harmonious smell of sunlight.

    However, the peace did notst long. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang. It was Chen Yun.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I¡¯ve received many interview invitations. If you have time, can I send them to you?¡±

    The movie had helped Xia Wanyuan gain poprity everywhere in the world. A global concert had deepened her image in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    Now, not only were the domestic media sending all sorts of invitations to Xia Wanyuan, but even many mainstream media overseas hoped to interview this woman who had brought China¡¯s culture to the world stage.

    ¡°Sure, send it to me.¡±

    Just as the call ended, Xia Wanyuan received a form on her phone.

    Chen Yun ced the names and information of all the applicants together for Xia Wanyuan to choose.

    Xiao Bao leaned over. ¡°Mommy, are you going out again?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan flipped through the form. ¡°I¡¯m just looking at the information.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Mommy, can you bring me along the next time you go abroad? I want to take a look too.¡±

    Xiao Bao actually understood Jun Shiling¡¯s protection toward him. He knew that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were thinking about his safety. Every time they participated in an event, they would leave him at home.

    However, Xiao Bao also wanted to see Xia Wanyuan at the scene. He knew that his mother was super amazing and wanted to cheer for Xia Wanyuan at the scene, not look at his mother through the cold screen.

    Sensing Xiao Bao¡¯s disappointment, Xia Wanyuan carried him onto herp. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely bring you out next time.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Mm, really.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Our Xiao Bao is also a little man.¡±

    ¡°Of course!!¡± Xiao Bao hurriedly raised his arm and showed Xia Wanyuan his fair arm. ¡°Mommy, I already have muscles!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was amused by Xiao Bao¡¯s appearance and pinched his face.

    When Jun Shiling returned home, he saw the mother and son ying. His eyes warmed slightly as he went forward and picked Xiao Bao up. ¡°I told you not to disturb your mother.¡±

    Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°Then I¡¯ll tease you.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked disdainful, but he carried Xiao Bao very honestly.

    After ying with Xiao Bao for a while, Jun Shiling mercilessly sent Xiao Bao to the tutor in the manor.

    ¡°CEO Jun, look at these interviews. Which one is appropriate for me?¡± After Xiao Bao left, Xia Wanyuan handed her phone to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did not even look at it and took the phone over. ¡°Don¡¯t go to any.¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was helpless. ¡°You have to choose one or two.¡±

    The box office of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was very good, but she could not ignore itpletely. After all, this movie needed further overseas publicity.

    The publicity for this movie was no longer just about the entirepany or the entertainment industry.

    Last night, Xia Wanyuan received a call from the Deputy Head of Culture.

    The Deputy Head of Culture highly evaluated Xia Wanyuan¡¯s excellence in this movie and discussed with her to see if they could n properly and maximize the cultural publicity function of this movie.

    After so many years, the Ministry of Culture had been struggling to advance overseas. Now, someone had finally appeared. The officials must have hoped that ¡°Eldest Princess¡± would be as popr as possible. It would be best if they could push the entire Chinese culture to the world at once.

    However, this was clearly impossible. After all, what a movie could show was limited. In addition to China¡¯s culture, there were so much that it was dazzling. It was impossible to show them all at once.

    The Deputy Head of Culture meant that Xia Wanyuan should go international through post-production interviews, publicity activities, and so on.

    The other party also told Xia Wanyuan that as long as she did well, the officials would give her all sorts of policy support.

    Xia Wanyuan had never rejected such a thing. She agreed readily.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, Jun Shiling did not look that happy. He looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach. ¡°Have you forgotten that you¡¯re still pregnant??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I know, but there are many teachers in our school that teach on stage, even when they are nine-months pregnant. This is nothing.¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s expression change, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly changed her words. ¡°How about this? As long as you have time, apany me to the event. As long as you¡¯re by my side, nothing will happen, okay?¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were very deliberate, Jun Shiling still fell into this sugar-coated shell. He snorted softly. ¡°Then where do you want to be interviewed?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the form. ¡°Didn¡¯t we go to Americast time? How about going back to Ennd? Let¡¯s go to Continent F.¡±

    Although he knew that Xia Wanyuan had chosen the most suitable ces, Jun Shiling was still a little dissatisfied. ¡°Continent F.¡±

    ¡°We won¡¯t go to war-torn countries. Aren¡¯t there many peaceful countries too??¡±

    Jun Shiling could not dissuade Xia Wanyuan and reluctantly agreed with her.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exquisite side profile, helplessness shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°It looks like I stop you every time, but in the end, I never seed.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled, revealing a small dimple on her face. ¡°This means that you¡¯re reasonable, CEO Jun. You¡¯re righteous and worthy of praise. Keep up the good work.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and extended his arm to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan consciously snuggled into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    The news that Xia Wanyuan was going to Ennd and Continent F to participate in the post-production publicity event was quickly announced by the studio.

    On the one hand, this event was in the name of the studio. On the other hand, it also had an official mission.

    Hence, just as Chen Yun sent the message,

    Soon, the officials reposted Chen Yun¡¯s message.

    [ Uh¡­ Am I seeing things? Is this an official ount that only pays attention to all sorts of people¡¯s livelihood matters and never cares about mortals? Don¡¯t tell me the official ount still chases celebrities? ]

    [ Did the staff change to the wrong ount and directly use the official ount to chase celebrities?? Isn¡¯t this a little too much? This ount is used to pay attention to the livelihood of the people. Now, it actually reposted the news of an actress. What? ]

    [ The person in front, can you not speak so sourly?? The actress you¡¯re talking about brought out the culture that hasn¡¯t been brought out in China for decades alone, okay?? You¡¯re sitting at home and guiding the country, but in fact, what did you do? Other than typing on the keyboard, what else do you know? ]

    Theizens saw the publicity for the movie, but in the eyes of other industry insiders,

    What they saw was not only the exchange in the entertainment industry.

    Especially the higher-ups, after seeing the official repost Xia Wanyuan¡¯s news, they had more thoughts.

    ¡°Is this the answer you gave me?¡± In a vi in Beijing, Lin Qingyuan sat on a chair and looked at Su Yueran in front of him. She clearly had an extremely elegant face, but it inexplicably made one¡¯s heart tremble.

    Lin Qingyuan threw his phone in front of Su Yueran. ¡°Xia Wanyuan has already be the official spokesperson. What about you??¡±

    To be able to be a top family in China, the Lin family naturally had members of their family in the high-level power vortex.

    What hecked was not the power of the higher-ups. What hecked was a name card that could be handed out, a national image that could pierce into the hearts of the people.

    Su Yueran pursed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it well.¡±

    She had clearly found someone to destroy Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concert, and that method could be said to be seamless.

    However, Xia Wanyuan seemed to have the help of the heavens and escaped danger again.

    ¡°Is it useful to apologize?¡± Lin Qingyuan tapped his fingers on the table. Suddenly, he looked out the door. ¡°Bring them in.¡±

    As soon as Lin Qingyuan finished speaking, a few people walked in.

    What followed was a nauseating stench.

    Su Yueran endured the nausea and looked at the person not far away.

    Beside the butler were a few beggars who had just been captured from the bridge. Their bodies were tattered, and their skin was ck and yellow. There was mud hidden in their ten fingers, and there seemed to be lice crawling on their dirty hair.

    Su Yueran knew Lin Qingyuan¡¯s methods too well. At that moment, she could not care less about her face and knelt at Lin Qingyuan¡¯s feet. ¡°Master, I know I was wrong.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan gestured and the beggars immediately surrounded her.

    They had already heard the butler¡¯s instructions outside. Now that they saw the delicate Su Yueran, their eyes were as bright as a wolf pack that had not eaten for dozens of days.

    The few of them grinned, revealing their yellow gums with crazy smiles on their faces. As they walked, they reached out to Su Yueran, as if they wanted to hold her tightly.

    ¡°Master, I really know I was wrong. I¡¯ll do anything you want me to do now, as long as you don¡¯t let them touch me. Master, I¡¯m your woman!!¡± Sensing the stench approaching, Su Yueran was extremely frightened. She hugged Lin Qingyuan¡¯s leg tightly.

    Lin Qingyuan nced at Su Yueran at his feet. ¡°You said so.¡±

    ¡°Yes!! I¡¯m willing to do anything as long as you get them to go.¡± Su Yueran was so frightened that her entire body was trembling.

    She knew how ruthless Lin Qingyuan was. Even though she was Lin Qingyuan¡¯s woman, as long as Lin Qingyuan wanted to, he would throw her for a beggar to ruin. Su Yueran could not do it.

    Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. Soon, bodyguards came in and pulled these beggars out.

    Although they had already left, Su Yueran seemed to be able to smell the stench. She retched non-stop.

    In the end, she felt more and more disgusted. She kept wanting to vomit, but she could not vomit anything.

    Lin Qingyuan looked at Su Yueran¡¯s actions and suddenly frowned. He looked at the butler. ¡°Get someone to find a doctor.¡±

    The doctor quickly came over and gave Su Yueran a simple checkup.

    In the end, as Lin Qingyuan had expected,

    Su Yueran was really pregnant.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    When Su Yueran heard the doctor¡¯s words, her eyes lit up. She touched her stomach and was secretly delighted.

    Now that she was pregnant and it was Lin Qingyuan¡¯s child, even for the sake of her stomach, Lin Qingyuan should not treat her so heartlessly anymore.

    However, reality proved that no one could guess Lin Qingyuan¡¯s thoughts.

    Hearing the doctor¡¯s report, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s expression was unreadable. ¡°I understand. Keep this baby for her first.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After the doctor left, Lin Qingyuan nced at Su Yueran, who was looking happy. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early. Do you really think I care about a child??¡±

    The smile on Su Yueran¡¯s face froze. ¡°Master.¡±

    ¡°If you can¡¯tplete the task I gave you, not to mention you, even this child will serve those beggars outside,¡± Lin Qingyuan said with a calm expression, as if the wife and child in front of him could not stir up any emotions.

    Su Yueran lowered her head silently. At this moment, other than being obedient, she had no other choice.

    ¡°Go out.¡± Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t be an eyesore here.¡±

    The older generation in China had a saying: Marry a virtuous wife and prosper for three generations.

    Seeing Su Yueran, Lin Qingyuan felt that he was the negative example of this old saying.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, Lin Qingyuan could not hide his anger. If not for their trap, he would not have married Su Yueran.

    Although Wei Jin was not as outstanding as Xia Wanyuan, she was also a rare woman. If he had married her back then, perhaps the situation today would have been different.

    Thinking of Wei Jin, Lin Qingyuan made a call.

    ¡°Have you found the information I asked you to investigate?¡±

    ¡°Master, I found it. Wei Jin has already arrived in Linxi at the end ofst month. She¡¯s near the Wei family in Jiangnan now.¡±

    ¡°Continue to watch. If anything abnormal happens,e back and report to me immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    <i>Wei Jin, Jiangnan Wei family,</i>?Lin Qingyuan sat quietly and thought about the connection between the two.

    <i>It seemed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appetite was quite big. She had reached out to Jiangnan.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the darkness of Beijing, there were strange clouds.

    However, on the surface, it was still calm. The weather had been very good recently, and today was a rare sunny day.

    However, the atmosphere in the manor was not that good.

    ¡°Uncle, why are you leaving again??¡± Xiao Bao reluctantly pulled Xia Yu¡¯s clothes and pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry.

    Xia Yu stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Uncle has to work. I¡¯lle back and visit you next time, okay?¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°I¡¯ll miss you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu picked Xiao Bao up and kissed him hard on the cheek.

    After coaxing Xiao Bao, Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll leave then.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Be careful. Call us if you need anything.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s eyes turned slightly red. Although this was not the first time they had parted, every parting was very sad.

    After bidding farewell to Xia Wanyuan and the rest, Xia Yu got into the car to the airport alone.

    Actually, the days in Beijing were peaceful. Logically speaking, people who had just returned from the battlefield should cherish this environment very much.

    After all, in those endless deserts, there was no water, no food, and they had to worry about the threat of cannonballs at all times.

    However, only those who had really experienced it knew.

    After experiencing that thrilling life, when they returned to the ordinary city, they would miss the life of holding their dreams in their hearts, weing the setting sun in the desert, and dancing with danger in the rainforest.

    To hot-blooded young people, that life was fatal and charming.

    When he arrived at the airport, Xia Yu walked towards the boarding gate without looking back. However, just as he raised his foot, footsteps came from behind, followed by a familiar shout.

    ¡°Xia Yu, wait for me.¡±

    Xia Yu turned around. Not far away, Lin Yi had removed her beautiful long dress and was wearing a neat shirt and pants. She was smiling and waving at Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu stopped. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Lin Yi smiled. ¡°What are you saying? I¡¯m a reporter. Why can¡¯t Ie?¡±

    ¡°But didn¡¯t yourpany say that they wanted to keep you in Beijing?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, but I rejected him. I¡¯m used to running around outside. It¡¯s boring to keep me here.¡± Lin Yi blinked at Xia Yu. ¡°Besides, I want to fight alongside you. You can¡¯t leave yourrades behind.¡±

    Xia Yu hesitated for a moment. ¡°Lin Yi, you¡­¡±

    Lin Yi seemed to know what Xia Yu was going to say. She stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, ¡°I know what you want to say, but Xia Yu, we¡¯ve been together for a long time. You should understand that I¡¯m not the kind of person who would give up on everything to be together with a man. I want to go out. Firstly, it¡¯s because I love my profession. Then secondly, it¡¯s because of you.¡±

    Lin Yi had a very bright appearance to begin with. When she spoke so confidently, she was like a small sun that made one feel warm and powerful.

    Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, but there was a smile in his eyes. ¡°Mm, I underestimated you. Comrade, let¡¯s go.¡±

    With that, Xia Yu reached out to take the bag from Lin Yi. ¡°The photo you tookst time was quite shocking. Your photography skills are not thick.¡±

    ¡°Look, you¡¯re looking down on me again. I once won a Pulitzer Prize too.¡± A smile appeared on Lin Yi¡¯s face again as he followed Xia Yu.

    ¡°That amazing?¡­¡±

    The two of them chatted andughed as they walked towards the boarding gate. They did not notice that a white sports car had been parked there for a long time.

    Seeing that the two of them hadpletely disappeared, Jiang Yun restarted the car and left the airport.

    However, after driving for less than a kilometer, Jiang Yun suddenly found a roadside to park. Then, she walked forward and stopped a ck car behind her.

    The ck car stopped and Lin Qingdai walked out with an apologetic expression. ¡°Jiang Yun, I¡¯m sorry. I really don¡¯t have any other thoughts. I came over because of a client and saw your car. I wanted toe up and greet you, but when I saw Xia Yu and the rest, I didn¡¯te.¡±

    Lin Qingdai¡¯s face was filled with apology. Even when he was anxious, he spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Yun listened to Lin Qingdai quietly, then looked up and suddenly said, ¡°Let¡¯s get married early.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingdai originally thought that Jiang Yun would me him for what had just happened, but he did not expect Jiang Yun to suddenly say this and did not react for a moment.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you like me?¡± Jiang Yun asked Lin Qingdai.

    Lin Qingdai¡¯s handsome face suddenly turned a little red. He lowered his head slightly. ¡°I do.¡±

    Although he was a little resistant to blind dates at first, Lin Qingdai was very happy to see Jiang Yun.

    She was beautiful and independent, but these were not the main reasons why he liked Jiang Yun.

    The main reason was that Lin Qingdai felt that Jiang Yun had worked hard. He wanted to stand beside this girl and take good care of her.

    Even though he knew that Jiang Yun did not like him, Lin Qingdai felt that there was no problem.

    He was deeply influenced by Ennd¡¯s gentleman education. If Jiang Yun could like him, he would be grateful to God. If Jiang Yun could not let go of Xia Yu, he would quietly apany her.

    ¡°I¡¯ll forget him,¡± Jiang Yun suddenly said as she looked at Lin Qingdai¡¯s red face.

    In all fairness, Lin Qingdai was a very good man.

    Jiang Yun had seen countless people, so she could naturally tell who was a real gentleman and who was a fake gentleman.

    Jiang Yun was willing to give them a chance.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingdai had a faint smile on his face. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to find a date when we get back. Let¡¯s get married early. When that dayes, I can take good care of your three meals every day. You eat too sloppily every morning. This is not good for your health.¡±

    Jiang Yun nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    As Lin Qingdai spoke, he was about to return to his car when Jiang Yun suddenly held his hand. Lin Qingdai turned around in surprise. This was the first time Jiang Yun had taken the initiative to hold his hand.

    ¡°Take my car back.¡± Jiang Yun pulled Lin Qingdai forward.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingdai looked at their sped hands and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Then, he held Jiang Yun¡¯s hand and interlocked their fingers.

    Jiang Yun¡¯s body stiffened for a moment, but in the end, she did not resist and followed Lin Qingdai¡¯s actions.

    The moment Lin Qingdai returned, he went to meet Lin Qingyuan first.

    Lin Qingdai was a very polite person. Although he and Lin Qingyuan were brothers, ever since Lin Qingyuan seeded the family head position, Lin Qingdai had always called him the family head.

    ¡°Master, I¡¯m preparing to hold an early wedding with Jiang Yun.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan looked up at the joy in Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes that had yet to dissipate and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°Back then, when I asked you to go on a blind date, you were quite resistant. Now, you look happy. It seems like you have a good rtionship with the daughter of the Jiang family.¡±

    Lin Qingdai¡¯s expression was a little unnatural. ¡°If there¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll get someone to check the date now.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled slightly. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that the two of you get married early. What can I say? Go and get someone to check the date. Just hold it as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Master.¡± Lin Qingdai was relieved that Lin Qingyuan did not object. After saying goodbye to Lin Qingyuan, he could not wait to contact thepany that arranged the wedding venue.

    Watching Lin Qingdai leave, a dark look shed across Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes.

    <i>Marriage?</i>?Lin Qingyuan shook his head slightly.

    At this moment, Jiang Kui, who had been eavesdropping, walked out.

    During this period of time, he had been troubled by the warehouse in Continent M. Jiang Kui seemed to have ayer of hostility.

    Lin Qingyuan nced at the impatient Jiang Kui. ¡°I thought I was already a very heartless person. I didn¡¯t expect CEO Jiang to be even worse than me.¡±

    Jiang Kui gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead bulged. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that Master Lin didn¡¯t hear some recent rumors.¡±

    Recently, Jiang Kui could clearly feel that Father Jiang was distrusting him more and more.

    Especially after the incident in Continent M¡¯s warehouse.

    Jiang Yun had always been in charge of the warehouse in Continent M. She had founded it herself. Over the years, she had profited a lot for the Jiang Group and nothing had ever happened.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes were red. He used all sorts of methods and finally snatched the power back from Jiang Yun.

    However, less than two days after his smug days, something happened to the warehouse and it caused such a huge loss. The entire Jiang Group suffered a heavy blow in America¡¯s market.

    Father Jiang flew into a rage. Not only did he ask Jiang Kui to return all his power to Jiang Yun, but he even divided the main market in China to Jiang Yun.

    In the past, Father Jiang would even bring Jiang Kui along to attend core-level meetings. Now that Jiang Kui had beenpletely dealt with, Father Jiang would bring Jiang Yun along wherever he went.

    The outside world was spreading that the position of the head of the Jiang family might very well be passed on to Jiang Yun. Even Jiang Kui had such a premonition. How could he not panic?

    ¡°CEO Jiang, didn¡¯t you think of a way?¡± Lin Qingyuan poured a cup of tea for Jiang Kui. ¡°However, I didn¡¯t expect you to bet with your sister¡¯s life, CEO Jiang.¡±

    On the first day Lin Qingyuan arrived in Beijing, Jiang Kui came looking for him.

    In fact, ording to Lin Qingyuan¡¯s original idea, he wanted Lin Qingdai to marry Jiang Yun. This way, the Jiang family could be tied to the entire Lin family and support each other.

    However, Jiang Kui suggested an idea.

    He wanted to get rid of Jiang Yun in Jun Shiling¡¯s name.

    ording to Father Jiang¡¯s personality, if he knew that Jun Shiling had killed his daughter, Father Jiang, who already hated the Jun family, would definitely hand all his power to Jiang Kui and let him deal with the Jun family.

    With Lin Qingdai¡¯s infatuation with Jiang Yun, the Lin family would use Lin Qingdai as a gun and aimed it at the Jun family.

    Such amunity of interests connected by hatred could also be indestructible.

    Most importantly, once Jiang Yun died, Jiang Kui would be the only legitimate sessor of the Jiang family. Jiang Kui had promised Lin Qingyuan that as long as he became the head of the family, he would sign an alliance with the Lin family.

    Anyway, it was not his sister who died. Lin Qingyuan had all the benefits, so he agreed readily.

    Jiang Kui took a sip of tea. ¡°Master Lin, you should know better than me that on the path of power, not to mention siblings, even parents and rtives have to be sacrificed sometimes.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled and did not speak. He only raised his cup and clinked it gently with Jiang Kui. ¡°CEO Jiang, happy cooperation.¡±

    On the other hand, Lin Qingdai left the Lin family and happily contacted many famous masters. In the end, he calcted that the 15th of next month was the best auspicious day of the year.

    Lin Qingdai called Jiang Yun and told her the date. ¡°What do you think? If you think it¡¯s not good, we¡¯ll choose again.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s quite good.¡± Jiang Yun had no objections to the date. ¡°We¡¯ll do as you arranged.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The flowerpany in Beijing had recently smelled something very obvious.

    In the past two days, the number of orders had soared. Not to mention Beijing, even the price of flowers in China was rising. Furthermore, the supply could not meet the demand. The goods that had just arrived were immediately swept away.

 Chapter 1246 - Disappearance

    <h4>Chapter 1246: Disappearance</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Thest time such a situation where all the flowers in the city were swept away happened was because Jun Shiling had built a rose garden for Xia Wanyuan.

    All the major flowerpanies still had an impression of that grand asion.

    ¡°Which boss gave his lover a surprise this year? Such a big scene??¡±

    ¡°I heard from the grapevine that the Lin family and the Jiang family are going to have a marriage alliance. I heard that they will hold a wedding in Beijing. During this period of time, they seem to be decorating the wedding venue.¡±

    ¡°It can¡¯t be, right? It can make the flower market in the country so nervous??¡±

    Just as the flower boss had said, Lin Qingdai had indeed prepared a lot of roses for Jiang Yun.

    Actually, Jiang Yun¡¯s personality was more domineering. She had never been interested in roses that little women liked.

    However, Lin Qingdai felt that Jiang Yun was suitable for bright red roses. He felt that they were very simr to Jiang Yun.

    Furthermore, in Western culture, red roses symbolized unwavering love. Lin Qingdai wanted to use roses to express his feelings for Jiang Yun.

    An endless stream of flowers was transported to Beijing.

    However, after entering Beijing, these flowers were divided into two groups. One went to the Lin family¡¯s vi, and the other was transported to the manor.

    Looking at the garden full of roses, Xia Wanyuan smiled and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and looked at the sea of roses.

    Last year, when he was chatting with Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling had casually agreed.

    Xia Wanyuan liked flowers, so Jun Shiling agreed. Every four seasons of the year, he would nt an entire manor of flowers for Xia Wanyuan.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan did not take it to heart. However,ter on, there were lotus flowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and red plums in winter.

    Now, the new year had arrived. Jun Shiling had nted an entire garden of roses for Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Have you been especially busy recently?¡± Xia Wanyuan said to Jun Shiling as she looked at the flowers.

    The explosion of the Jiang family¡¯s warehouse caused a huge shock on the international market.

    After all, that warehouse contained arge number of goods that involved nearly tens of billions of contracts.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was involved.

    ]The Jiang family had suffered a huge loss and had been counterattacking crazily recently.

    The Jiang family¡¯s management was not as good as the Jun family¡¯s, but they were a top family after all. Their huge foundation was like the roar of a lion. Even Jun Shiling could not resist it.

    Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had clearly worked overtime more than before. There were a few times when he only returned home when it was almost dawn.

    ¡°The Jiang family has begun to take action. There are more things to do than before, but we can still resist.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and brushed the flowers off Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Why? Do you feel sorry for me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°My heart aches for you. There¡¯s something else. My schedule in Ennd has been decided. I¡¯ll go to Ennd to record a program in two days.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°Are you sure you can go?¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that it was unlikely. The matter with the Jiang family could not be resolved in a short time.

    ¡°I¡¯m worried about you going over alone.¡± The world seemed peaceful now, but only those in the center of power knew that under the calmer surface, there was a fiercer storm.

    Not to mention that he was usually worried about Xia Wanyuan alone, now that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant, he was even more worried.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Many people will apany me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was now the focus of the officials.

    Even when she attended an interview, the officials had greeted Ennd through the Ministry of Foreign Rtions. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s journey was done with them as well.

    In addition to promoting the movie and interviewing the media in Ennd, she was also responsible formunicating with Ennd and China.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan did not think that her safety would be especially problematic.

    After all, there was official protection, and Jun Shiling had sent people to follow them the entire time.

    ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to arrange it and find time to apany you.¡± Although Jun Shiling knew that the officials would protect Xia Wanyuan, he was still worried.

    ¡°Alright then.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not reject him anymore. She leaned against Jun Shiling and looked at the sea of flowers in front of her.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jiang family.

    Looking at the roses that kepting in from outside the door, a hint of mockery shed across Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes. He looked at Jiang Yun by the window, his eyes filled with hatred.

    Ever since the warehouse in Continent M was handed to Jiang Yun, the scene was very different from the one in Jiang Kui¡¯s hands.

    After all, Jiang Yun had built the entire American market single-handedly. She definitely knew more about the entire market than Jiang Kui. In addition, she had her own connections there.

    Although this explosion had affected many people, through Jiang Yun¡¯s efforts, most of the losses had been reduced to the minimum.

    Yesterday, Father Jiang had even praised Jiang Yun fiercely in front of all the shareholders. At the same time, he had reprimanded Jiang Kui, causing him to lose face in front of everyone.

    ¡°Sister, your charm is really not bad. If only you could go on more blind dates. With your ability, wouldn¡¯t everyone from the major families fall under your skirt?¡±

    Hearing Jiang Kui¡¯s sour provocation, Jiang Yun treated it as if she had heard nothing. She looked up and nced at Jiang Kui. ¡°If you¡¯re really so free, go and care about your two wives. Don¡¯t wait for them to fight before you care.¡±

    Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°When is it your turn to criticize the Jiang family¡¯s matters??¡±

    Jiang Yun could not be bothered to argue with Jiang Kui. She looked at her vibrating phone and pressed the answer button. Then, she stood up and walked out.

    ¡°Miss Jiang, do you have time? Can we have lunch together?¡± Lin Qingdai¡¯s gentle voice came from the phone.

    ¡°Okay, where are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m outside your house.¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yun had already walked to the door. Lin Qingdai was wearing a proper suit. When he saw Jiang Yun, his eyes clearly lit up and he smiled.

    Lin Qingdai stepped forward and opened the car door for Jiang Yun. Then, he sat in the driver¡¯s seat and handed Jiang Yun a ss of water. ¡°Drink this. Didn¡¯t you say that you were in a meeting in the morning? Your throat should be very painful. I put Chinese medicine in it to moisten your throat.¡±

    Jiang Yun took a sip. Her throat, which had been talking for a long time, had indeed received somefort.

    Her heart warmed.

    Lin Qingdai was a very good man. She had never been taken care of so meticulously before. Jiang Yun looked up and smiled at Lin Qingdai. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so polite?¡± Lin Qingdai turned around and spoke to Jiang Yun. He was caught off guard and saw her smile. He braked and stepped crookedly, causing the car to hit the electric pole beside him.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. Are you okay?¡± After reacting, Lin Qingdai hurriedly went to check on Jiang Yun.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jiang Yun shook her head.

    It was just a bump. ¡°Did something happen to you? Why are you so distracted?¡±

    Lin Qingdai was a very meticulous person. It was rare for him to be so rash.

    ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingdai¡¯s delicate ears were slightly red, but he looked into Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes very honestly. ¡°It¡¯s just that your smile just now was too beautiful. I was stunned for a moment. I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    The expression on Jiang Yun¡¯s face froze. She clearly did not expect Lin Qingdai to say this. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯re quite honest.¡±

    Lin Qingdai smiled. ¡°Actually, you look especially good when you smile. If it¡¯s unsuitable to smile in front of your subordinates, you can smile more in front of me in the future. You¡¯re very beautiful.¡±

    Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes were the type that made one feel quiet and peaceful at a nce. It was as if there was ake filled with spring water that could calm one¡¯s mind for some reason.

    The words of such a person were sincere and not offensive. Jiang Yun nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Although she did not have any special feelings for Lin Qingdai yet, she felt that if she interacted with such a good person like Lin Qingdai for a long time, she might really like him one day.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go eat.¡± Lin Qingdai smiled at Jiang Yun, then started the car and drove towards the restaurant.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Continent M. He had almost flipped through the entire America, but there was still no trace of Feng Wuyou.

    The Chu family increasingly realized that their young master¡¯s temper seemed to be worse.

    ¡°Where is she?¡± Chu Yi went from being anxious at the beginning to being depressed. Although he did not hit or scold them, the aura that was about toe frightened everyone in the room so much that they did not dare to make a sound.

    ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve already entrusted various forces to investigate, but we really didn¡¯t find Maiden Feng¡¯s whereabouts.¡±

    ck fog gathered in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you think that¡¯s the answer I want to hear??¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve already done our best to find him. We¡¯re expanding the search area. We¡¯ll search the entire Continent M again.¡± Sensing the killing intent on Chu Yi, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and lowered their heads to apologize.

    Chu Yi was about to say something when hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

    Chu Yi¡¯s trusted aide strode in with a box in his hand.

    ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve found Maiden Feng.¡± The subordinate stood in front of Chu Yi and bowed his head respectfully.

    ¡°Where is she?¡± Chu Yi stood up, his eyes filled with an urgency that he had not realized.

    The subordinate ced a huge box in front of Chu Yi. ¡°We found Maiden Feng at the exit from America to Canada. When we found her, she had already died from an overdose of medicine.¡±

    ¡°What did you say?¡± Chu Yi¡¯s eyes suddenly surged. His expression darkened and he clenched his fists.

    The subordinate thought that Chu Yi wanted to hear the exact situation of Feng Wuyou¡¯s death, so he exined in detail again.

    ¡°Feng Wuyou must have found a ck snake head in order to leave the country. That snake head took her money and promised to bring her out. However, he probably went back on his word halfway and fed Feng Wuyou arge number of drugs and medicine in a vain attempt to control her.

    ¡°We found someone to test the amount of medicine in Feng Wuyou¡¯s body. She overdosed and died.¡±

    ¡°Get out.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s aura suddenly became very terrifying. Everyone present was shocked and hurriedly retreated.

    Only Chu Yi and arge box were left in the room. Chu Yi¡¯s deep gazended on the box, and his hands could not help but tremble.

    After some time, Chu Yi suddenly reached out and opened the box to take a look.

    Then, he suddenly closed the lid and kicked the box hard. However, in the next second, he quickly stepped forward and fixed the box, afraid that the person inside would be hit.

    All the subordinates waited outside the door for a long time. They did not know what had happened inside.

    Time gradually passed. Only when night fell did Chu Yi walk out of the house again.

    The lights in the courtyard were rtively dim, and Chu Yi¡¯s facial features were hidden in the darkness. They were so sharp that it was shocking.

    No one could see the expression on his face. They only felt that Chu Yi¡¯s temper was very bad.

    ¡°Who fed her the medicine? Who brought her out? Investigate and send them to me.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. In the night, he was like a malicious ghost.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Get someone to build a frozen vacuum warehouse now and transport Feng Wuyou back to Continent F intact. If anything goes wrong, all of you will die with her.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± everyone replied respectfully, but they were puzzled.

    <i>Didn¡¯t Young Master especially hate Feng Wuyou? Not only did he destroy her entire family, but he also tried his best to find her, looking like he wouldn¡¯t stop until he pulled out her tendons and bones.?</i>

    Now, he was getting someone to transport Feng Wuyou¡¯s corpse back with difficulty. They really could not understand what Chu Yi wanted to do.

    Soon, under Chu Yi¡¯s instructions, a huge ice coffin waspleted. Chu Yi and the ice coffin were transported back to Continent F by a private ne.

    At this moment, on the streets of America, a beautiful Chinese woman was wearing a fashionable and hot dress. She was casually drinking the fruit tea in her hand. When she looked up, one could see a hint of charm.

    ¡°I received news that Chu Yi has already left America with his people and returned to Continent F.¡± A man in a simple white T-shirt looked at the woman beside him with a heavy expression.

    ¡°Mm, that¡¯s quite good,¡± the beautiful woman said. Her voice was gentle, making one¡¯s heart soften.

    ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± The man¡¯s eyes were filled with heartache.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± The woman looked up. Her beautiful eyes were slightly blue, and her perfect facial features were wless.

    ¡°I¡¯m a doctor. You don¡¯t have to lie to me.¡± Looking at the woman¡¯s smile, the man¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°Wuyou, my heart feels like it¡¯s being cut by a knife with you being like this.¡±

    The beautiful woman in front of him was Feng Wuyou, but she was not.

    To be precise, Feng Wuyou, who had undergone stic surgery and changed her skin, had experienced unimaginable pain with someone else¡¯s skin and every inch of skin.

    The beautiful woman smiled. ¡°You should call me Su Yao. It really doesn¡¯t hurt. Compared to the pain Chu Yi inflicted on me, this is only one in ten thousand.¡±

    The man took a deep breath and secretly wiped his tears. ¡°Then where are you going now?¡±

    ¡°Ennd, then the Chu family.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The man looked at Su Yao in shock. ¡°You can¡¯t go to the Chu family. It¡¯s too dangerous there. Do you want to die?¡±

    ¡°Die? I¡¯m not even living.¡± Su Yao sneered and stood up. ¡°I¡¯ve already booked a ne ticket. I¡¯ll leave tomorrow. See you again.¡±

    The next day, the airport in Ennd was filled with customers as usual.

    However, two of the waves caused a high discussion.

    One of them was a beautiful Chinese woman. No one knew her, but they felt that she was stunning.

    The other wave was Xia Wanyuan from China. Everyone knew that she had attracted arge number of fans.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan came to Ennd with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Jun Shiling stayed in the country.

    Initially, Jun Shiling had already decided to apany Xia Wanyuan. However, just as they were about to set off, a problem suddenly appeared in the market in Continent M. Jun Shiling had no choice but to go over personally.

    Jun Shiling had specially applied for arge number of protection personnel from the officials, in addition to the people he had sent to protect around Xia Wanyuan. Only then was he relieved to let Xia Wanyuane to Ennd.

    Initially, they were only instructed by Jun Shiling. In addition to the official instructions, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were willing to travel with Xia Wanyuan.

    However, during the flight from China to Ennd, everyone gathered to chat. As they chatted, everyone admired Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone had long heard of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s talent and was not surprised.

    What surprised everyone was that Xia Wanyuan looked even more professional than professional diplomats like them.

    Everyone was an expert who yed with words and could speak. However, to Xia Wanyuan, they felt a sense of admiration.

    Hence, at the airport in Ennd.

    Arge group of bodyguards surrounded Xia Wanyuan. The diplomats surrounded Xia Wanyuan again and kept talking to her.

    However, as they walked, Xia Wanyuan suddenly frowned.

    She had just looked up when she saw a beautiful and flirtatious Chinese woman walking towards the airport exit.

    Her facial features were clearly unfamiliar to her, but for some reason, the way that woman looked at her made her feel very familiar.

    ¡°Wanyuan, what are you looking at? Be careful of your feet.¡± At this moment, the diplomat reminded Xia Wanyuan.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan retract her gaze and smile. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    At the entrance of the airport, Xiao Qi sensed that Feng Wuyou was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What are you looking at?¡±

    Feng Wuyou pulled down the hat on her head to cover her face. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I met an acquaintance. She shouldn¡¯t have recognized me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was still the same as when they first met, but she was already unrecognizable. Feng Wuyou¡¯s expression was dim, making Xiao Qi extremely worried.

    ¡°Are you really okay? I know that person. It¡¯s Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Feng Wuyou was unwilling to say anything else and left the airport.

    This trip to Ennd was an open schedule. Xia Wanyuan and the rest had just left the airport when a few gorgeous convoys were waiting on both sides of the road.

    ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. We were sent by Prince Charlie to wee you.¡±

    ¡°We were sent by Miss Yili.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re sent by the Cape family.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    The three of them spoke at the same time and looked at each other awkwardly.

    The people beside Xia Wanyuan were also stunned.<i>?Why were the people who came to pick Xia Wanyuan up each more important than the other??</i>

    <i>When did the status of China¡¯s richest man be so useful in Ennd??</i>

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan did not get into anyone¡¯s car and stayed in the official hotel with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    At this moment, in Continent M, Jun Shiling¡¯s ne had justnded.

    Listening to the secret guards¡¯ report of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s safe arrival, Jun Shiling nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Stay close to her and protect her.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After arranging some other matters, Jun Shiling hung up and got into the car to the hotel. Just as he arrived downstairs, a group of people stopped Jun Shiling.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re really an important guest in Continent M. I wonder if you cane and have a meal with me?¡±

 Chapter 1248 - Ceremony

    <h4>Chapter 1248: Ceremony</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Jun Shiling looked up with a calm expression. ¡°Mr. Yasang, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    At this moment, the person in charge of the second branch of the Blue family was standing in front of Jun Shiling.

    Although he was almost sixty years old, Yasang looked very energetic. His brown and yellow eyes had a sharp glint.

    ¡°CEO Jun, do me the honor??¡±

    Ever since Mr. Blue¡¯s will was announced, the Blue family had been asking about Xia Wanyuan a lot. However, teams of people went to China without sess.

    Seeing that all the handover procedures were advancing ording to the contents of the will, the Blue family could no longer sit still. If they allowed the situation to develop like this, in the end, it would be toote when the entire family fell into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Please.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly and walked into the hotel. Mr. Yasang followed.

    After they left, a car at the entrance of the hotel left.

    Soon, the news of Jun Shiling and Yasang¡¯s meeting spread to the variousrge families.

    ¡°Mother, Yasang has always wanted to seize the power of the family. This time, did he go to Jun Shiling to seek external help?¡± Li Na looked at Lin Man worriedly.

    When the entire family fell into the hands of others, how could the mother and daughter live asfortably as before?

    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Jun Shiling might not be able to reach a cooperation with him.¡± Lin Man frowned slightly and gently patted Li Na¡¯s hand. ¡°Your main mission now is to get close to the young master of the Chu family. Now that the Chu family has forcefully settled in America, as long as you can be the mistress of the Chu family, we can easily obtain the Blue family.¡±

    ¡°I heard that Chu Yi¡¯s wife died not long ago.¡± Li Na was a little hesitant. ¡°If I get close to him now, will he be willing to ept me?¡±

    Lin Man¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of mockery. ¡°Wife?? He didn¡¯t treat that woman as his wife. The entire Feng family has been uprooted by him.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand, Mother.¡± Li Na was relieved. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    With Lin Man¡¯s permission, Li Na left the castle. Just as she got into the car, the chauffeur asked her where she was going.

    Li Na thought for a while. ¡°To the hotel where Jun Shiling is staying.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xiao Qing, who was in charge of taking care of Li Na¡¯s daily needs and was also her confidant, looked at Li Na in confusion. ¡°Miss, didn¡¯t Madam just tell you not to provoke Jun Shiling anymore?¡±

    <i>Jun Shiling was unfathomable. Who knew what trouble we would get into if we provoked him??</i>

    ¡°Just don¡¯t tell Mother.¡± Li Na took out a mirror to touch up her makeup.

    ording to Lin Man, she hoped that Li Na would marry Chu Yi.

    If she had not seen Jun Shiling before, Li Na might have been interested in Chu Yi. However, after seeing Jun Shiling, Li Na vaguely had a shadow of a person in her heart.

    Now that Jun Shiling had arrived in America alone, although Li Na knew that she shouldn¡¯t go, she still wanted to approach Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Miss¡­¡± Xiao Qing had apanied Li Na day and night, so how could it not know her thoughts? She hesitantly advised Li Na, ¡°That Jun Shiling is already a married man.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t all men like that? Although he¡¯s very interested in Xia Wanyuan now, he¡¯ll only be like that when he¡¯s tired of ying.¡± Li Na did not mind. ¡°Besides, I¡¯m not really doing anything. What can I do if I just go and take a look?¡±

    After all, Li Na was the master. Xiao Qing did not dare to say anything else.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Ennd.

    After entering the hotel, Xia Wanyuan washed up and was about to rest when a guest came.

    It was Prince Charlie, who hade quietly. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Prince Charlie ced his right hand on his chest and made a weing bow. ¡°Wee to Ennd.¡±

    ¡°Prince, you¡¯re too kind. You can inform us in advance.¡±

    ¡°If I had informed you in advance, there would probably be at least ten people standing here now.¡± Prince Charlie sat in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I couldn¡¯t go to thest concert, unfortunately. No matter what, I have to visit you personally this time.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Prince Charlie hade to look for Xia Wanyuan for nothing else. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s mainly because there¡¯s an equestrianpetition the day after tomorrow. I want to invite you to take a look. Then, I want topete with you again.¡±

    Although he could already predict the oue of thepetition, Prince Charlie enjoyed the process of thepetition.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to agree, but she suddenly thought of the baby in her stomach and shook her head. ¡°My body hasn¡¯t been veryfortable recently. Let¡¯s go together next time.¡±

    Although it was a pity, Prince Charlie did not hesitate. ¡°Alright, if you need any help in Ennd, feel free to look for me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    Prince Charlie wanted to say something to Xia Wanyuan, but the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already arrived.

    Due to his identity, he actually could not meet the diplomats in private. Prince Charlie and Xia Wanyuan bade farewell briefly, then suppressed his hat and quickly left the hotel.

    The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at this person¡¯s back hesitantly. ¡°He looks a little familiar.¡±

    ¡°Why does it look like an investigation¡­¡± Halfway through their sentence, everyone swallowed their words. This was a hotel and there were many people. It was inconvenient.

    When everyone arrived at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s room, she was drinking tea and sitting by the window. Even though the background was in Continent O¡¯s style, it made Xia Wanyuan look charming while drinking.

    ¡°Wanyuan, did you receive an invitation from Ennd¡¯s National Museum?¡± The deputy head sat over and handed an invitation to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the invitation and took a look. It was an exchange invitation from the Ennd Museum. Her name was indeed on the list.

    ¡°The academic world in Ennd has always had a very high status in the world. They have always been proud of their culture. This time, it might be a little provocative. If you¡¯re not interested, we can find a reason to help you reject it.¡±

    Not to mention the academic world, as long as there were people, there would be all sorts of arguments andparisons.

    Back then, Ennd had snatched many precious inheritances from China, including many precious historical books. Xia Wanyuan was very interested and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll reply to themter.¡± The deputy minister looked out of the window. The weather in Ennd had always been gloomy. It was rare for there to be good weather today. The sky was as blue as ss. ¡°I heard that you¡¯re knowledgeable. Coincidentally, we don¡¯t have any activities today. I¡¯ll bring you to the university I studied at.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan happily agreed.

    Soon, the group arrived at the school gate of Cambridge University. Today, the school gate was especially lively. All sorts of colorful gs fluttered in the wind. Just as everyone was curious about what day it was and the school was holding such a grand ceremony,

    A ck car stopped beside them. The window was rolled down and a head of gray hair appeared by the window.

 Chapter 1249 - What appeared by the car window

    <h4>Chapter 1249: What appeared by the car window was a hale and hearty old man. He was wearing a pair of sses and his white hair wasbed neatly.</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were all knowledgeable and immediately recognized this old master.

    ¡°Hello, Master Roman.¡± There was nock of excitement in everyone¡¯s eyes. As a top master in the Western music industry, Roman¡¯s name resounded throughout the music industry. Everyone knew him.

    No one had expected to meet him here today.

    Master Roman replied calmly, then looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Master Roman, long time no see.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attitude was rtively ordinary. She did not treat him specially because he was a master.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Master Roman snorted softly, looking a little angry.

    However, if someone familiar with him saw his expression, they would definitely know that Master Roman was throwing a tantrum.

    ¡°Master Xia, it¡¯s really difficult to invite you.¡± Master Roman frowned.

    Helplessness shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Last year, when he participated in the World Music Competition in Continent O, Master Roman had always asked Xia Wanyuan to be his disciple.

    After being rejected by Xia Wanyuan, although Master Roman did not force her, he sent Xia Wanyuan a letter every once in a while.

    From asking Xia Wanyuan if she was willing to change her mind at first, to asking if she was willing toe to Continent O to perform with him,

    However, Xia Wanyuan was too busy and could only reject him every time.

    ¡°Master Roman, why are you here today??¡±

    Roman turned his head away. ¡°I¡¯m not telling you. Let¡¯s go, chauffeur.¡±

    With that, the car window was closed and Master Roman¡¯s car gradually left.

    Others did not know about Roman and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s private interactions. Just looking at their exchange just now, everyone could not help but suspect that Xia Wanyuan had offended Roman.

    ¡°Wanyuan, are you okay? How did you offend him?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. At that moment, Cambridge University was about to close the school gate. Xia Wanyuan walked forward. ¡°Let¡¯s go in first.¡±

    When they entered the school and saw the promotional posters everywhere, everyone knew what day it was.

    A century-old famous school like Cambridge University had a long history. This year happened to be its school anniversary.

    It was also the anniversary of a world-renowned musician in Ennd¡¯s history. This musician had studied at Cambridge University when he was young.

    The twomemorative days collided. At this moment, the university was filled with a festive atmosphere.

    Since it was a double joyous asion for the school and the music industry, as the honorary professor at Cambridge University, Roman was naturally invited back to attend the school anniversary and celebration.

    Other than his superb performance skills, the most famous musician in his life had also broken through the regional limitations and traveled the world to find famous songs.

    In memory of him, every music club in the university woulde out and perform to the students at this time.

    At first, the clubs were separated from each other and everyone minded their own business. Later on, it gradually evolved into apetition-style promotion.

    In order to encourage everyone to learn more music, the school even pushed out many rewards.

    On Memorial Day, clubs that could attract the most members would be rewarded by the school for a global tour.

    This reward was too tempting. In addition, every club felt that their things were the best. Every year, at this time, the atmosphere of the entire school became extremely white-hot.

    This year was even worse. On the big day of the school anniversary, many big shots and alumni returned to school.

    Many clubs tried their best and secretly made up their minds to win the first ce in thispetition.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask, while the other diplomats looked like ordinary people from Continent Y.

    In this school filled with foreigners, they were not recognized. They mixed in the crowd and slowly walked into the school.

    After walking for about three hundred meters, the two sides of the road were still filled with people.

    ¡°Wow, it¡¯s so lively. I didn¡¯t expect there to be so many musical clubs.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the school anniversary this year, and it¡¯s also the anniversary of the musicians, so it¡¯s naturally much more lively than in the past.¡± Looking at the energetic students, the deputy head sighed. ¡°Thirty years ago, I sat under that big tree and promoted our Chinese musical instruments to others. Time passed so quickly.¡±

    In such a youthful and energetic ce, everyone felt emotional.

    Xia Wanyuan had never been to school before, so she did not sigh. She was more interested in so many musical instruments. If she did not look, she would not know. With one look, there were actually so many strange things in the world.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly looked along the street curiously.

    After walking for another few dozen meters, the road in front of them was suddenly blocked. The students formed a circle. From time to time, argument could be heard from inside, and one could vaguely hear the voices of the Chinese.

    Xia Wanyuan and the rest took two steps forward. Listening to the discussions of the surrounding people, everyone understood that they had quarreled because of the venue.

    Every time such an event was held, it was impossible not to fight for the venue a few times. This was very normal when they were students.

    There were many people here and things were chaotic. Everyone took a look and prepared to leave.

    Naturally, the school would be in charge of such matters. There was no reason for them to get involved.

    However, just as they turned around, insults came from behind.

    Everyone present was proficient in many foreignnguages. They could immediately tell that the students of Ennd were racist against the students of China.

    This was too normal overseas.

    In the eyes of most foreigners, they were the superior race. Yellow races were considered iplete.

    Especially since the Western countries were sufficiently developed, they naturally had a sense of superiority when looking at people.

    At this moment, there was a conflict with the Chinese students. There were all sorts of words like ¡°f..k¡±, ¡°sick man¡±, and ¡°trash¡±.

    The foreign students in China had always been weak overseas. How could they dare to say anything in someone else¡¯s territory? Even though many foreign students were precious in the country, there was nock of powerful people here in Ennd. No one dared to cause trouble.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go too far.¡± A petite girl could not take it anymore. She spoke fluent English. ¡°We clearly upied this ce first. You¡¯re still so righteous when you¡¯rete.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± A tall foreign student looked down at the youngdy with disdain in his eyes. ¡°Where did youe from??¡±

    As the Chinese were generally rtively small, in addition to the fact that this youngdy was a southern girl, she was only about 1.6 meters tall. She was considered average height in the country, but in a foreign country people were all more than 1.8 meters, she looked extremely petite.

    The youngdy had never been insulted like this before and cried from anger. The other Chinese students stood up to protect her.

    Everyone felt ufortable. They wanted to continue arguing, but these people were all local students. The dozen or so clubs beside them were all friends who yed with them. At this moment, they all gathered with unfriendly expressions.

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s better to avoid trouble. Let¡¯s not cause trouble.¡± In the end, it was the president who forcefullyforted the club members. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the side and give them the ce.¡±

 Chapter 1250 - The Princess Attacks; Amazing

    <h4>Chapter 1250: The Princess Attacks; Amazing</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    This argument finally ended with the foreign students backing down.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s go elsewhere to take a look.¡± Seeing that the crowd had already begun to retreat, the deputy head and the rest began to continue walking.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and followed them forward.

    In front of them was a long street filled with all sorts of posters.

    Today, the mission of the various clubs was mainly to recruit students from the school. No one cared much about Xia Wanyuan, the Deputy Head, and the rest who did not look like students.

    At the end, there was no way to continue. Everyone walked back.

    Unknowingly, they returned to the ce just now. Everyone subconsciously looked at the Chinese club.

    After all, she was still a student from their country. Everyone could not help but pay attention.

    In the end, after looking for a long time, someone found the petite girl from the corner.

    She had probably just cried not long ago, and her eyes were still red.

    This club belonged to the zither and pipa clubs. Because of the strange shape of the instruments and the especially exquisite paintings carved on Chinese instruments, they were especially eye-catching under the sunlight.

    At this moment, many students were watching in front of the club.

    The youngdy enthusiastically surrounded them and introduced them. In their club, some people studied abroad through schrships. Their lives were usually more thrifty, so they did not have a chance to go out and take a look.

    With the reward provided by the school, everyone wanted to seize this opportunity to try. If they could win the championship, everyone could go out and y together.

    Just as everyone was happily exining the usage of the zither to the students, a few tall men suddenly walked over.

    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you too blind? What¡¯s so interesting about this lousy wood? Come to us.¡± The blond man pointed at the saxophone club on his side. The sparkling saxophone was dazzling under the sunlight.

    This group of people had just fought with the zither club for the venue. The youngdy was angry when she saw them and walked forward. Although she was rtively petite, her eyes were not timid at all. ¡°We¡¯ve already given you the venue just now. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re going overboard by looking for me now?¡±

    The blond man sneered. ¡°Overboard? Your things are all trash dug out of the ground hundreds of years ago. How dare you put them here to show off? So what if I don¡¯t let you win?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, the blond man pointed at his club. ¡°Go to us. You¡¯ll be paid a hundred pounds if you join.¡±

    When everyone heard this, they immediately put down the promotional posters in their hands and quickly left.

    Anyway, they were all joining the society. Only a fool would not want a hundred pounds.

    ¡°You!¡± The youngdy was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

    This group of people seemed to be going against the zither club. A few men blocked the youngdy. As long as other students came to ask about the situation, these few people would poach them away.

    In this way, no one in China dared toe and ask.

    At this rate, forget about winning the championship today, it was uncertain if they could even recruit a member. Everyone was angry.

    However, the Chinese had always been reserved and did not have the habit of shing with others outside. They could only endure it silently.

    ¡°This is too much.¡± At the foreign minister¡¯s age, his daughter was the same age as the youngdy over there. He could not stand such a thing.

    However, his identity was special and it was not suitable for him to appear at all.

    If he interfered in this matter and was caught by someone with ulterior motives, he would not be the only one rising, but the country he represented. The other staff also had the same worry.

    At that moment, the silent Xia Wanyuan suddenly walked over.

    The foreign students thought that Xia Wanyuan was also here to ask about joining the society and stopped her. ¡°Beauty,e to our side. We¡¯ll give you a hundred pounds.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at them.

    These few people were still students after all. They had never seen someone like Xia Wanyuan.

    Even though Xia Wanyuan was shorter than them, everyone felt their hearts turn cold when she nced over. Her nce was more like looking down, inexplicably oppressive.

    Just as she was in a daze, Xia Wanyuan had already walked into the club.

    When the youngdy saw that someone had finally arrived and it was a Chinese student, she immediately went up to her. ¡°Student, you¡¯re from China, right? Come, see what you¡¯re interested in. If you have anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me.¡±

    In order to attract more students to join the club, the president had brought his zither and the pipa he had carried from China for thispetition.

    Ever since the concert, Xia Wanyuan had actually rested for a while. It had been a long time since she had touched these instruments. Now, her hands were a little itchy.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and gently fiddled with the zither. ¡°Can I test it?¡±

    The people in the club surrounded Xia Wanyuan. Although she only revealed her eyes, this alone could confirm that there must be a beauty under this mask.

    Everyone looked at it for a long time before someone finally reacted. ¡°Of course you can try it. Do whatever you want. Just be careful not to damage it.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and sat on a chair.

    She gently fiddled with the strings and adjusted the pitch.

    With just a few simple actions, she made an immortal aura.

    Most of the people in this club had been studying in Ennd for a few years and did not know much about domestic celebrities. The president had onlyest year.

    In addition, he had a sister who chased celebrities and had many posters hanging at home. As he looked at her, he felt that the eyes of the person in front of him were very familiar. However, he had never been interested in the entertainment industry, so he naturally could not remember who this person was.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand suddenly moved.

    There were nearly a few thousand people gathered on this entire street. It was bustling with activity, and the street was filled with all sorts of conversations, shouts, andughter. Even the two people who were closer had to shout when they spoke.

    However, under such a noisy situation, a crisp cry suddenly sounded, like the cry of a phoenix or the impact of a waterfall at the peak of the mountain. It reached everyone¡¯s eardrums with extreme prative power.

    Everyone could not help but be stunned for a second. In this short silence, the tone turned into jumping spring water that hit the rocks.

    The afternoon sun was very strong and a little hot. However, the dancing notes were like a small spring in the mountains, melting all the frustration bit by bit.

    The music was too agile, like the light jump of a deer, like the fluttering of a butterfly, or like a magpie pping its wings and fluttering the dew on the petals of the morning.

    Everyone could not help but look in the direction of the music.

    The pleasant voice came from the corner.

    Under countless people¡¯s gazes, the men who were standing in front of the club poster could not withstand the pressure and quietly retreated to the side, making way.

    At this moment, everyone finally saw who was ying.

    Under the huge sycamore tree sat a young woman wearing a mask. She was slender and sat dignified. Her slender ten fingers were jumping on a very beautiful instrument.

    Water-like music poured out from her fingertips and ran into everyone¡¯s ears little by little with the sunlight.

    This was Continent O, the University of Cambridge. It was a ce where Western buildings were everywhere.

    However, under this person¡¯s music, everyone seemed to have been brought to an extremely beautiful and quiet valley. They listened to the sound of the mountain spring and watched the butterflies dance.

    The frustration in the afternoon was gradually soothed.

    This sound was different from the mellow and elegant sound of the violin and the round jump of the piano, but it had a unique charm. Everyone¡¯s interest was gradually aroused.

    After the song ended, the originally noisy road had already be silent.

    Good music would make people not dare to profane it, afraid that even their breathing would destroy the mood in front of them.

    Just as everyone was about to p, the woman moved again.

    Xia Wanyuan took down the zither and reached out to the youngdy of the club, signaling her to hand the pipa to her.

    The little girl listened as if she had fallen into a dream and ced the pipa in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in a daze.

    Xia Wanyuan took the exquisite pipa carved with lotus leaves.

    Looking at the extremely beautiful pipa carved, curiosity shed across everyone¡¯s eyes.

    <i>What instrument was this?? It was so beautiful. What was it used for?</i>

    The next second, everyone saw Xia Wanyuan hug the pipa and ce her hands on it.

    Unlike what everyone had imagined, when they saw the style of the pipa and the exquisite carvings on it, everyone thought that the sound should be very gentle and slow.

    However, from the first note, everyone felt the aura of ten thousand horses neighing.

    It was as if a battle was imminent. Both sides were already lined up on both sides, and the air was filled with killing intent.

    As Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fingers moved faster, everyone felt their blood boil.

    They were clearly on a peaceful campus, but it was as if they had just fought the enemy on the battlefield.

    Everyone looked nkly at the pipa in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, clearly unable to understand why such a delicate instrument could create such an exciting song.

    After the song, the godly tune from before seemed to still linger in everyone¡¯s ears.

    The people in the club were clearly stunned. They were all fans of zither and pipa and their skills were not bad.

    However, when they heard Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, everyone knew what it meant to be a master.

    Xia Wanyuan had just put down the pipa when many students rushed over to ask questions about entering the club.

    ¡°That¡¯s great!!¡± The president was overjoyed and hurriedly organized the club members to receive the new students.

    This ce suddenly became the most popr club. There was even a long line.

    While there were many people and no one noticed her, Xia Wanyuan mixed in the crowd and left.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, the deputy head could not help but give her a thumbs up. ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that your musical attainments are quite high, Wanyuan. When I heard it today, it¡¯s indeed extraordinary. There¡¯s a saying in the ancients that goes, circle the beam for three days. I¡¯ve finally experienced it today.¡±

    ¡°Minister, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked elsewhere with the others.

    Not long after they left, a ck car stopped by the roadside.

    A young man came down to inquire about the news and quickly returned to the car.

    ¡°Hmph, she would rather y for these students than participate in my performance.¡± Master Roman was furious. ¡°This is too much.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± The assistant followed Master Roman¡¯s words. ¡°She¡¯s just a junior. How can she know this? She doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for her. Master, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±

    Master Roman looked even more unhappy and red at his assistant. ¡°Who said she¡¯s a junior?? With your skills, you can¡¯t even wipe the piano keys in front of her. Show more respect when you see her in the future.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The assistant felt bitter.

    He thought to himself that he did not know who Xia Wanyuan was, so how could he know how skilled she was?<i>?Didn¡¯t I still say ording to the master¡¯s words?</i>

    However, on second thought, the assistant felt that it was very strange. Master Roman was a hall-level figure at the current music festival.

    Although heined about Xia Wanyuan, the assistant could tell that Master Roman had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. In fact, he liked Xia Wanyuan very much.

    <i>Who was this Xia Wanyuan?? She could actually settle a master with such a strange temper like Master Roman?</i>

    In Cambridge University, although a few members of the saxophone club still wanted to cause trouble for the Chinese club, the current Chinese club had already recruited many local students. How could everyone watch their club be bullied?

    After failing to find trouble, they became a joke. In the end, the few people from the saxophone club left dejectedly.

    In the beginning, there were only a few people in the Chinese club. Later on, because there were too many people signing up, there were many interview segments and written tests.

    Even so, the students who were interested in the music just now still kepting over.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance was too stunning. In this era where the informationwork was highly developed, not long after, the video of her ying music was posted on the Inte.

    ¡°The coordinates of Cambridge University. I found a youngdy ying the Chinese zither in school today. She¡¯s really amazing. She aroused my interest in the zither. Hahaha, I¡¯ve already signed up for the club.¡±

    This video quickly became popr in the music area. In just a few hours, it became the most popr video in the music area on the Inte.

    As the range of transmission increased, people gradually realized that something was wrong.

    [ Am I the only one who feels that this person¡¯s eyes are very familiar?? When she looked up just now, just her eyes made one feel that she was so beautiful. ]

    [ Why do I feel that this person looks a little like Xia Wanyuan?? That eye is too simr. I just finished watching ¡°Eldest Princess¡±. I think she looks quite simr to Xia Wanyuan!! ]

    [ Now that you mention it, I think so too!! I just went to look for aparison photo. This is definitely Xia Wanyuan not exining!! F*ck, Xia Wanyuan ys the instrument so well? ]

    [ The person in front should be a new fan, right? I suggest you understand more about Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan was the champion ofst year¡¯s World Music Competition. ]

    Gradually, more and moreizens suspected that the person ying the zither was Xia Wanyuan.

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s schedule overseas was not publicized, many people took videos after meeting her.

    Byparing clothes and jewelry,

    In the end, everyone confirmed that the person who stunned Cambridge University with a song was indeed Xia Wanyuan.

    [The big shot is the big shot. No wonder she rushed to the top of the external music area with a song so quickly.]

    [ I want to say, is this considered a physical cheat?? Xia Wanyuan is the world champion. Isn¡¯t it a blow to her to y the zither in university? ]

    [ My cousin is the silly president in the video!!! I showed him Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video just now. Now, he¡¯spletely stunned. He¡¯s crazily telling me how shocking it was to hear Xia Wanyuan y live. ]

    While everyone was immersed in the auditory feast Xia Wanyuan had brought for everyone, Xia Wanyuan and the rest had already returned to the hotel.

    After going out for a walk, Xia Wanyuan was a little tired.

    Although the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also tired, they did note for a sightseeing trip. Instead, they came with all sorts of missions.

    Xia Wanyuan returned to her room to sleep, while the others discussed work in the room beside her.

    In the evening, Xia Wanyuan woke up full of energy. She looked at her phone and saw that Jun Shiling had called her several times.

    Xia Wanyuan called back. The person who answered the phone was actually a woman, and this voice was familiar to Xia Wanyuan. It was Li Na¡¯s voice from the Blue family.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Jun is busy. Please call backter.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at her phone. She had called Jun Shiling on WeChat. It was not that she had not seen the note Jun Shiling had given her.

    Although Jun Shiling had recently fallen in love with changing her contact name, it was obvious that they were like ¡°baby¡±, ¡°dear¡±, ¡°Madam¡±, and ¡°Little Xiaxia¡¯s mother¡±.

    Now, Li Na acted as if she did not know who she was and spoke in a businesslike tone, making Xia Wanyuan feel a little amused.

    ¡°Miss Li Na, do you know who I am?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice and thinking of the contact name she had just seen, a hint of jealousy shed across Li Na¡¯s eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I still have something on. If you have any questions, contact CEO Junter.¡±

    With that, Li Na hung up.

    Looking at the icon of being hung up, Xia Wanyuan was a little angry.

    It was not because she suspected Jun Shiling. After all, if such a small trick could sow discord between her and Jun Shiling, it would be too fragile. What made her angry was why Jun Shiling would throw his phone around and it ended up in Li Na¡¯s hands.

    On the other hand, Li Na had just hung up the phone. Before she could try the password to Jun Shiling¡¯s phone, a group of people walked towards her.

    Looking at Jun Shiling, who walked with a gust of wind and an oppressive aura, a shy smile appeared on Li Na¡¯s face. ¡°CEO Jun, long time no see.¡±

    Jun Shiling ignored her goodwill and looked at the phone in Li Na¡¯s hand with a cold expression.

    Following Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Li Na lowered her head to look at the phone in her hand and hurriedly handed it to Jun Shiling. ¡°I picked this up. I didn¡¯t mean to take it.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not reach out to take it. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Jing, who immediately understood. ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯ve already called the police. The police will probably be here soon.¡±

    Speak of the devil. Just as Lin Jing finished speaking, a team of police walked over.

    Li Na looked at Jun Shiling in panic, her shining eyes filled with disbelief.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you actually called the police to arrest me??¡±

    Jun Shiling ignored Li Na¡¯s gaze. He got someone to take the phone from Li Na¡¯s hand. ¡°Send it to me after disinfecting it. As soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling left.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s heartless back, Li Na frowned. Before she could think further, the police had already stepped forward and taken her away.

    Li Na struggled to look at the police beside her. ¡°Do you know who I am? How dare you arrest me?? I¡¯m from the Blue family.¡±

    However, since Jun Shiling had called the police over, they naturally would not be easily threatened by Li Na. They still forcefully took Li Na away.

    The staff disinfected the phone a hundred times before returning it to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling clicked on his phone and saw the WeChat call that had been hung up. He hurriedly called back.

    However, the response Jun Shiling received was a long beeping sound. Xia Wanyuan did not answer the phone.

    Jun Shiling panicked a little. Although he and Xia Wanyuan knew each other, he was still worried that Li Na had told Xia Wanyuan something messy.

    In Ennd, the phone in the hotel room kept ringing, but the room was empty.

    The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a living allowance when they went on business trips and had strict standards for business trips. If they exceeded this standard, they would have to pay for it themselves.

    However, this time, they did note alone. With Xia Wanyuan by their side, everyone followed her and improved their lives.

    Xia Wanyuan was deliberately building a good rtionship with these people.

    Although she preferred to stay quietly by herself, she knew very well that no matter how high she went, she could notpletely lose her friends.

    Furthermore, these people were slick, but they did not lose their integrity. They chatted with Xia Wanyuan, who was very generous and invited everyone to the most expensive restaurant in Ennd.

    In the tradition of the Chinese, when it came to fun, there had to be some wine to liven things up.

    ¡°Come, Wanyuan, this toast is to you.¡± The deputy head smiled and held his wine ss. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve heard others talk about you before I came, but seeing is believing. To be honest, China is lucky to have you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stood up with her wine ss. ¡°Minister, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Come, let¡¯s go together.¡± The deputy minister raised his cup and the others stood up.

    Amidst the toasts, this group of eloquent diplomats confided in Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan drank fruit wine with an extremely low alcohol content and had no effect on her body.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alcohol tolerance was too low. She could even feel a little dizzy after drinking a few sses of fruit wine.

    Everyone chatted andughed as they sent Xia Wanyuan back to the hotel.

    No matter how drunk Xia Wanyuan was, she had a subconscious dignified etiquette. The others chatted with her the entire way and did not notice anything unusual.

    After closing the door, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear eyes finally shed with confusion.

    She wrinkled her nose and took a sip of water before lying on the bed.

    Actually, the alcohol in her stomach had mostly dissipated, but her face was still a little red and her head was dizzy.

    At that moment, the phone on the bedside table began to vibrate. Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the phone and saw that it was Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little drunk. When she spoke, her voice was a little soft, as if she was acting coquettishly.

    Jun Shiling paused in his actions of pulling his tie. His voice was low. ¡°Have you drunk??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied softly, ¡°Just a little plum wine. It¡¯s very light, very light, just a little.¡±

    Jun Shiling was a little helpless.

    He naturally believed that the alcohol content of the plum wine was very low, because ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s alcohol tolerance, if she had drunk a high alcohol content, she would probably be so drunk that she could not even pick up the phone.

    ¡°Then rest early.¡± Jun Shiling removed his tie and walked to the desk to sit down, preparing to continue reading the documents. ¡°Take off your shoes and lie under the nket now.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied softly, then took off her shoes andy under the nket ording to Jun Shiling. ¡°Iy in. What happens next?¡±

    ¡°Then close your eyes and sleep well. I¡¯ll call you tomorrow morning.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and closed her eyes.

    She did not hang up, so did Jun Shiling.

    About three minutester, Jun Shiling had already finished reading ten pages of documents. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice suddenly came from the phone.

    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping with me? Stop looking.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll be thereter. Sleep first.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Xia Wanyuan snorted softly and buried herself under the nket. ¡°Jun Shiling, you¡¯ve changed. You¡¯re not sleeping with me anymore.¡±

    Although Jun Shiling usually stopped Xia Wanyuan from drinking, Jun Shiling actually liked Xia Wanyuan very much after drinking.

    At such times, she was always naturally soft and cute.

    ¡°I¡¯lle after reading the documents. I¡¯ll sing for you. Can you sleep first?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan subconsciously wanted to argue with Jun Shiling, but in the next second, she said, ¡°I want to listen to Beijing opera.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling could not imagine what it would be like for him to sing Beijing opera. ¡°Can you change it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan, who was pregnant and drunk, was extraordinarily sensitive. Suddenly, her voice was filled with tears, as if she was going to cry in the next second. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay.¡± Jun Shiling could not do anything to her. Anyway, there was no one around, so he threw away his old face.

    Xia Wanyuan pestered him to sing a few songs. In the end, after Jun Shiling yed a piano piece, she gradually fell asleep.

    Outside the door, the guards who had been listening to Beijing opera for a long time finally calmed down.

    Everyone looked at each other. They did not expect CEO Jun to be like this.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up naturally. The phone beside her was still in a call.

    Xia Wanyuan called out tentatively, ¡°Jun Shiling.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling sounded very energetic. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to an interview today? Get up and clean up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat up. After a full sleep, she was no longer drunk, only the faint fragrance of plums lingering on her body.

    ¡°Was I drunkst night?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yesterday, Xia Wanyuan was drunk and Jun Shiling did not have time to teach her a lesson. Now that Xia Wanyuan was awake, Jun Shiling had to remind her. ¡°You¡¯re outside alone¡­¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Wanyuan. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t angered me yesterday, why would I drink?¡±

    ¡°How did I anger you?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re with another woman, and that woman is still holding your phone.¡± Xia Wanyuan tried to divert the conflict.

    ¡°Don¡¯t give me that. My phone was deliberately taken away yesterday. I¡¯ve already called the police to deal with this matter.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care. It¡¯s because of you anyway.¡± Xia Wanyuan was arrogant because of her pregnancy.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling was helpless. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop talking, okay? But you really can¡¯t drink anymore. Your alcohol tolerance.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew her limits. She only dared to drink it yesterday because she was with a group of trusted people. If it were anyone else, she would definitely not touch it.

    The recording of the publicity program was at night. After Xia Wanyuan woke up, she leisurely finished her meal and even went to the museum beside her before rushing to Ennd¡¯s television station building.

    The movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡± also sold very well in Ennd. Although nearly a month had passed, the box office poprity was still very high.

    This recording was naturally weed by many fans.

    In front of the television station building, when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car slowly passed by, they could see some foreigners holding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poster in their hands.

    Looking at the enthusiastic faces of the fans, Chen Yun could not help but sigh. ¡°This scene makes me inexplicably proud of you, Wanyuan. What should I do?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not so emotional. She was looking at the various introductions to Ennd¡¯s television station.

    In her previous life, when she was in politics, Xia Wanyuan had developed the habit of knowing herself and her enemy well.

    Before doing anything, she had to understand the other party sufficiently.

    Beforeing to Ennd this time, Xia Wanyuan had already prepared arge amount of information at home.

    It was not an exaggeration to say that if they brought out a staff member from Ennd¡¯s television station now, she might not know the history of Ennd¡¯s television station as well as Xia Wanyuan.

    Soon, the car stopped under Ennd¡¯s television station building. A few people were waiting to receive Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan, the few people opposite weed her with very enthusiastic attitudes.

    Although many white people had an inexplicable sense of superiority over Chinese, other than being Chinese, Xia Wanyuan was also the richest person in the world. She was equivalent to money.

    Everyone in the world was very enthusiastic about money.

    The staff brought Xia Wanyuan into the dressing room. The makeup artists were already prepared.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you guys prepare here first. Our director wille and tell you about the problems to take note of during the recordingter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun shook the other party¡¯s hand politely and began to prepare the information for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and let the makeup artist do her makeup.

    However, about ten minutester, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped the makeup artist.

    ¡°Is there a problem, Miss Xia?¡± The makeup artist looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.

    Xia Wanyuan pointed at her face. ¡°There¡¯s no need to put such a heavy foundation, right??¡±

    Hearing themotion, Chen Yun looked up. Even a straight man like him felt that it was inappropriate. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skin was originally as fair as jade, but now, her face was smeared with soil-yellow foundation.

    <h4>Chapter 1253: Bullying the Princess? Dream on!</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The makeup artist frowned. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯ve been working at the television station for twenty years.¡±

    That meant that she was a senior makeup artist. Xia Wanyuan had no right to point fingers at her.

    If it were anyone else, they might have been frightened by the makeup artist¡¯s aura, but Xia Wanyuan did not fall for it.

    She had read so much television station information before recording because she wanted to understand more small details that she had never understood.

    In her previous life, every time they faced diplomatic rtions between the two countries, everyone would always be very polite.

    If it were an ordinary person, both diplomatic parties would be polite and reasonable.

    However, only both sides knew if the other party had done anything.

    For example, the other party believed in Buddhism. There were Daoist statues on the table here. For example, the other party hated pigs, but they had to use pork for lunch here.

    From the information Xia Wanyuan had seen during this period of time, Ennd¡¯s television station actually looked down on China very much. This television station had once invited Chinese actors.

    The scene at that time was that the Chinese person¡¯s skin was rtively dark to begin with. In addition, with the lights in the studio, this person waspletely khaki.

    After the show was broadcasted, many viewers¡¯ impression of China increased.

    Hence, seeing that the makeup artist had deliberately turned her skin ck and yellow, Xia Wanyuan was careful.

    ¡°This standard in twenty years??¡± Xia Wanyuan stood from the perspective of color. ¡°The clothes on me are apricot-white. The foundation color you¡¯re using matches the color of my clothes by 0 percent. Don¡¯t television station makeup artists need to study color-rted knowledge?¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± The makeup artist usually did not pay attention to the entertainment industry at all, so she naturally did not know that Xia Wanyuan was an internationally famous painting master. She wanted to refute, but she realized that she could not refute Xia Wanyuan¡¯s point at all.

    Every time this happened, Xia Wanyuan wanted to sigh that it was good to have money. She took the makeup cotton and began to remove her makeup. Then, she nced at Chen Yun. ¡°Find a new makeup artist within five minutes. There¡¯s no limit to the price.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun immediately walked out to contact the new makeup artist.

    In the house, seeing Xia Wanyuan remove her makeup, the makeup artist was furious. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re too picky. Don¡¯t you Chinese know how to be grateful to be able to attend our television station¡¯s program?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Seeing that she had already used the words ¡®grateful¡¯, Xia Wanyuan found it a little funny. She did not want to quarrel with this person and ignored her. She began to look at the script in her hand.

    The makeup artist originally wanted to argue with Xia Wanyuan, but seeing that Xia Wanyuan was ignoring her, she found herself uninterested and left angrily.

    Money was the strongest. Three minutester, a new stylist arrived.

    Because he wanted to earn money from Xia Wanyuan, this person disyed his 100% ability and increased Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty.

    ¡°You look good.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance after putting on makeup, Chen Yun could not help but praise her, even though he had been by her side for so long.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan finished putting on her makeup, a staff member came to inform her to go to the recording studio.

    When they arrived at the recording studio, Chen Yun eximed in confusion, ¡°Aren¡¯t we interviewing alone??¡±

    At this moment, on the stage, the host was already in position. Opposite her sat two foreigners. Chen Yun could not name them, but he knew that these two were the protagonists of a recent movie.

    When the television station sent the program recording invitation back then, they had actually guaranteed that it would be a separate interview this time.

    However, in the current situation, Chen Yun felt that they might have been yed by Ennd¡¯s television station.

    However, now that the show was about to start, he could not leave halfway. Chen Yun looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. ¡°Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head slightly. When she was checking the information of Ennd¡¯s television station, she already knew the attributes of this television station better, so she knew very well.

    The show this time would definitely encounter some obstruction. She was not very surprised to see this situation.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, the director gestured for her to go on stage.

    At this moment, on stage, the host was chatting with two guests. These two guests were the male lead of a popr sci-fi movie and the idol of the host.

    She looked at the two of them with shining eyes and did not notice that Xia Wanyuan had already gone on stage.

    At that moment, the two chairs in the center of the stage had already been taken away, leaving only a chair at the corner. No one cared about Xia Wanyuan, so she found a ce to sit.

    ¡°Hello.¡± The other two male actors on stage noticed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face and surprise shed across their eyes. They took the initiative to greet her.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

    Only then did the host notice Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that the actors who had been talking to her were all surrounding Xia Wanyuan, a hint of displeasure shed across the host¡¯s eyes.

    However, it was working hours, so she still maintained her politeness and nodded at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wee.¡±

    ¡°Okay, everyone, get ready. Our cameraman is already in position.¡± As soon as the director finished speaking, the recording venue entered a state of preparation.

    The host tidied her clothes and looked at the camera with a smile. ¡°Wee to today¡¯s program. Let me introduce everyone to today¡¯s guests.

    These two are the main leads of the popr movie ¡°Revenge¡±, David and Mike. This is Xia Wanyuan from China. ¡°Eldest Princess¡± has been very popr in Ennd recently. I believe everyone is very familiar with it.¡±

    After introducing the guests, they began to interact with them.

    Before the show began, the television station had sent Xia Wanyuan a recording script.

    However, nearly twenty minutes after the recording of the show, there were not many scenes that originally belonged to Xia Wanyuan.

    Be it interviewing or promoting her movie, the host casually brought Xia Wanyuan along.

    The highlight of this show before it was broadcasted was Xia Wanyuan. Most of the people who came to watch the show now were here because of Xia Wanyuan.

    The show had been broadcasted for so long, but they had not seen much of Xia Wanyuan. The audience began to be unhappy.

    [¡°Revenge¡± is really good at marketing. Why haven¡¯t I heard that they¡¯re participating in this show before? It¡¯s quite amazing now. Those who don¡¯t know might think that this is their home ground?]

    [ I¡¯m going toin. Isn¡¯t this fake publicity? I¡¯m here to watch the show for Xia Wanyuan, okay? You inexplicably stuffed these few people in and even cut out Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scene. I¡¯m speechless. ]

    [ I think this host is a love-struck fool. You¡¯re the host, not a celebrity chaser, okay, Big Sister?? There¡¯s someone sitting on stage. Aren¡¯t you going to care about Xia Wanyuan? ]

    Due to the deep resentment of the audience, many people even called the television station toin.

    The director kept reminding the host through the backstage. Only then did the host look at Xia Wanyuan reluctantly.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re so fair. You¡¯re different from the Chinese I¡¯m familiar with. You¡¯re mixed-blood, right? Or are your ancestors Western?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was a little cold, but she still answered the question seriously. ¡°I¡¯m not mixed-blood. I¡¯m Chinese.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± The host smiled strangely. ¡°That¡¯s really a one in a million skin color. It¡¯s not easy to look like this.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, the host asked another question. ¡°Miss Xia, are you used toing to our ce?? There are many fun ces in Ennd. Miss Xia, you can take a look when you have the chance.¡±

    ¡°I will.¡±

    After asking two symbolic questions, the host felt that it was enough. She turned her attention to the other two guests.

    Another ten minutes passed. The director could not stand it anymore and kept gesturing to the host.

    The host was dissatisfied and casually changed the topic.

    Coincidentally, there was a special effect dragon that cost more than ten million yuan in ¡°Revenge¡±. The host mentioned it and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Miss Xia, have you seen the movie ¡°Revenge¡±?¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t had time to watch it.¡±

    ¡°The dragon special effects inside are quite good. I heard that you all im to be the descendants of dragons. Miss Xia, take some time to take a look.¡±

    After the host finished speaking, some people in the audience revealed mocking expressions.

    There were many cultural differences in the East and West.

    Just like a dragon.

    In the West, dragons were the representatives of evil and violence. They usually had ck bodies and sharp ws.

    In the east, dragons were the representatives of dignity and auspiciousness.

    At this moment, the host¡¯s question clearly had ill intentions.

    However, if Xia Wanyuan was angry, it would make her look too calctive.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded calmly. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely take a look when I have the chance.¡±

    The host could not be bothered to continue talking to Xia Wanyuan. She entered the next segment of the show.

    For such a program, if one always sat and asked the other questions, it would be more boring, so there would be some entertainment.

    The host looked at David in admiration. ¡°I heard that you personally acted in the fighting scenes in the movie. How amazing.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± David was more humble. ¡°I heard that this Miss Xia is especially good at fencing. She¡¯s still the better one.¡±

    The host did not think much of it. ¡°That¡¯s too violent in my opinion. David, can you review the scene in the movie for us live??¡±

    David agreed and repeated it with his partner ording to the scenes that had already been filmed in the movie, causing the audience to exim.

    After the two male actors finished performing, the host looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I heard that Miss Xia is very good at dancing. I wonder if you can do a scene for us??¡±

    Logically speaking, this request was not too much. After all, as a celebrity, it was normal to sing and dance.

    However, the host¡¯s tone made Xia Wanyuan feel offended.

    She had a faint smile on her face and a disdainful gaze, as if she felt that Xia Wanyuan was a ything.

    Xia Wanyuan did not sh with her directly. Instead, she stood up and smiled. ¡°Sure.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan looked at the director below. ¡°Can you give me a sword?¡±

    Actually, the program today had already arranged for Xia Wanyuan to fence, so the production team had prepared a sword.

    However, the host spent too much time chatting with the other guests, causing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s normal process to bepressed.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan had asked for a sword, the production team could give it to her.

    While the production team was preparing, Xia Wanyuan went backstage to change her clothes.

    When she went on stage again, she was already dressed in ancient clothes. She was gentle and heroic.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the host. ¡°I might hit you. You can sit aside first.¡±

    The host did not mind. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Do whatever you want.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else. As the music sounded, Xia Wanyuan raised her arm.

    Dance had always been gentle and beautiful in people¡¯s understanding, while swords were hard and cold.

    At this moment, the two had fused with Xia Wanyuan.

    Her figure was graceful, and every move was extremely gentle. However, every time she attacked, she had an oppressive aura.

    The host sat at the side and watched. Caught off guard, the sharp tip of the sword rushed straight at her. The host shouted in fear.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword only feinted and moved to the side, not stabbing towards the host.

    Just as the host was about to recover from her shock, the sword intent attacked again.

    After three to four times, the host stood below the stage in horror and did not dare to sit on the stage again.

    In just three minutes, Xia Wanyuan had shown the audience abination of strength and gentleness with her sword dance.

    [ The host deserves it. She clearly deliberately ignored Xia Wanyuan just now, yet she still implicated her. ]

    [Although I¡¯m from Ennd, I also want to say that this host is really a fool. She¡¯s embarrassed our television station.]

    [Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword dance is eye-catching. She¡¯s so cool!!]

    Xia Wanyuan was only more fierce when she danced with the sword, but in the eyes of the host, she felt that she could feel killing intent.

    Hence, in the second half of the show, the host was especially obedient.

    Not only did she conduct the interview ording to the original procedure, but she also restrained the mockery and disdain on her face.

    It turned out that the eptance of beauty in the world was equally high.

    Before the program ended that day, the viewership ratings in Ennd had already exploded.

    It was mainly because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    Other than her face, the thing that received the most attention was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword dance on the show.

    At that moment, some enthusiastic Chineseizens posted some of the fighting scenes Xia Wanyuan had filmed on the Inte.

    There was no such thing as martial arts fights overseas. To them, fighting was more about borrowing the power of swords or technology.

    Hence, when they saw Xia Wanyuan wearing ancient clothes and jumping down from the tall city wall, stepping on the water without leaving a trace and stepping on the bamboo leaves to easily float in the air, theizens on the Inte were stunned.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan had a dancing foundation. When she danced with the sword, not only was it fierce, but it also had a dazzling beauty.

    This magical martial arts world inexplicably hit the nail on the head of theizens.

    On this day, the domestic television drama producers discovered a magical phenomenon.

    <i>Why did the views of domestic martial arts dramas and Xianxia movies start to increase exponentially overseas?</i>

    Not only could the production team of the television drama not understand, but even many merchants in the country could not understand. For some reason, their toys like swords and knives and many Chinese clothes suddenly increased in sales.

    At this moment, in Ennd, Xia Wanyuan had finished filming and was preparing to return to the hotel.

    Just as she reached the door, she was surrounded by a group of people.

    This group of people was holding a sign in their hands. It clearly said to get Xia Wanyuan out of Ennd. They were all here to boycott her.

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and retracted her gaze. When everyone saw Xia Wanyuan leave the building, they surrounded her intensely. The secret guards, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, stepped forward and blocked these troublemakers.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to get into the car when she saw that the troublemakers had been squeezing forward. A child had fallen by the roadside from their squeeze and was wiping his tears helplessly.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped and gestured for Chen Yun to help the child up.

    The child had fallen quite badly and his leg was bleeding non-stop. Because he was too young and did not know where his parents were, Chen Yun could only get someone to send the child to the hospital.

    However, the child was timid and did not dare to be carried by the bodyguards. He only dared to pull Chen Yun¡¯s sleeve.

    ¡°We can send her to the hospital on the way and then return to the hotel.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the time and got into the car.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Yun carried the child and got into the car.

    The chauffeur stepped on the elerator and headed in the opposite direction.

    After sending the child to the hospital, Chen Yun got someone to call the police. Soon, the child¡¯s parents rushed over.

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan and the rest leave the hospital.

    On the way back, they passed by the television station building. At this moment, not far from the building, ambnces and police cars were parked on the street. The ce that had been peaceful a moment ago was in chaos.

    ]The car slowly drove past. Xia Wanyuan saw that something had clearly exploded on the street.

    When they returned to the hotel, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs weed them. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was fine, they were relieved. ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯re fine. We heard that there was an attack over there. It seems to have been caused by an extremist organization.¡±

    ¡°When did this happen?¡±

    The deputy minister thought about the message he had just received. ¡°It should be at half-past nine.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan recalled that it was exactly 9: 25 am when they left the television station building.

    If they followed the normal route, they would have passed by that ce when the explosion happened.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression froze. She nodded at the Deputy Head. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, rest well. We still have to go to Ennd¡¯s museum tomorrow. Don¡¯t forget.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan returned to her room, she found the news that had happened outside the television station building today.

    The extremist organizations imed it quickly, and they said it was to resist some of Ennd¡¯s official policies.

    It did look like some internal disputes in Ennd.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.?<i>Could it be that I was thinking too much?</i>

    <i>This matter was too coincidental.</i>

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang. It was Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. Jun Shiling¡¯s background voice was very noisy. ¡°Is the recording over?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little tired and yawned. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°To attend a banquet,¡± Jun Shiling said. Someone came over to toast him. Jun Shiling blocked them and found a quiet ce to talk to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You drank a lot?¡± Although Jun Shiling had always been a person who knew his limits, at banquets, celebrities from all walks of life gathered. Sometimes, it was not easy to reject them.

    ¡°Mm, I drank two sses.¡± Jun Shiling stood by the balcony and took a deep breath. His mind was much clearer. ¡°If you¡¯re not asleep when I go back tonight, I¡¯ll call you again.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for you to call me.¡± Xia Wanyuan rummaged through her clothes. ¡°I still have something to tell you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling instructed Xia Wanyuan a few more times before hanging up.

    After washing up, Xia Wanyuany on the bed and video-called An Rao.

    Children grew up very quickly.

    The once dark, thin, and ugly little child had red lips and white teeth. Her eyshes fluttered like a little elf.

    ¡°Come, obedient baby, look who this is. Your godmother.¡± An Rao raised Xiao Qingli¡¯s hand and waved it at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xiao Qingli looked very close to Xia Wanyuan and smiled at her.

    Xia Wanyuan teased him for a while. The more she looked at him, the cuter she found him.

    ¡°Sister, even I, as the biological mother, don¡¯t receive such good treatment. He never smiles at me.¡± An Rao was a little jealous. ¡°He seems to like you more.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps he knows to please his mother-inw in advance??¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had always liked to eat sour food some time ago, causing everyone to think that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant with a boy again,

    However, after a series of examinations, Shen Xiu concluded that

    Xia Wanyuan was pregnant with two children.

    This also meant that it was very likely that one of them was a girl.

    This made An Rao overjoyed and she snatched the betrothal spot in advance.

    Xiao Qingli was still young and clearly did not understand humannguage. However, when Xia Wanyuan mentioned mother-inw, he was still very excited and jumped in An Rao¡¯s arms.

    After chatting with An Rao for a long time, Xia Wanyuan read in her room for a while.

    It was not untilte at night that Xia Wanyuan finally received Jun Shiling¡¯s call.

    Jun Shiling seemed to be very busy. He said a few words to Xia Wanyuan and hung up. Xia Wanyuan did not pester him to investigate further.

    In America¡¯s First Hospital, Jun Shiling was holding his phone in his left hand and blood was constantly dripping from his right.

    CEO Jun, bear with it.¡± The doctor held the scalpel and looked at the wound on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm reluctantly.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied.

    The knife in the doctor¡¯s hand suddenly stabbed into his flesh.

    An hourter, Jun Shiling¡¯s arm was bandaged and sent back to the ward. At that moment, Lin Jing had already returned to the hospital after investigating.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I found out that the person this time was sent by Jiang Kui. He¡¯s being forced into a corner.¡±

    The banquet tonight was organized by the Blue family.

    Logically speaking, Jiang Kui would not take the risk and start a dispute in someone else¡¯s territory.

    However, this time, when Jun Shiling attended the banquet, he specially exposed some vacancies.

    Usually, there was an iron wall around him and he could not find a chance to attack.

    It was not easy for him to encounter such a good opportunity this time. Jiang Kui went all out.

    The consequences of his actions were to embarrass the Blue family.

    After all, this was equivalent to running to their territory to cause trouble.

    ¡°Mm, spread the news to the Blue family.¡± The wound on his arm hurt a little, and Jun Shiling subconsciously frowned.

    ¡°It¡¯s already spread,¡± Lin Jing replied very respectfully. ¡°This time, Jiang Kui haspletely offended people from Continent M.¡±

 Chapter 1255 - Venting Anger

    <h4>Chapter 1255: Venting Anger</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Jun Shiling and Lin Jing were talking when a staff reported, ¡°CEO Jun, Mr. Yasang is here.¡±

    ¡°Let him in.¡±

    Soon, Yasang walked in with arge number of supplements in the hands of the staff behind him.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m really sorry to have frightened you.¡± Ya Sang walked to Jun Shiling with an apologetic expression.

    ¡°Mr. Yasang, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly.

    ¡°This small gift is to calm you down, CEO Jun. I¡¯ll definitely give you an exnation for tonight.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not to give me an exnation.¡± Jun Shiling nced at his phone. Xia Wanyuan had called him. Jun Shiling temporarily suppressed the call and looked at Yasang. ¡°The main reason for this is that the other party doesn¡¯t take the Blue family seriously.¡±

    Yasang¡¯s expression turned slightly cold. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re right.¡±

    At this moment, Jun Shiling suddenly frowned. Lin Jing immediately stepped forward. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡±

    Seeing this, Yasang could not stay any longer. ¡°CEO Jun, take care. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    After Yasang left, Lin Jing, who had gone to call the doctor, returned to his room and instructed someone to throw away all the gifts Yasang had brought before leaving the ward to do his own things.

    After the room fellpletely silent, Jun Shiling called back.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on the video call. Jun Shiling turned off the light and turned on the video.

    ¡°You¡¯re not asleep yet?¡± Jun Shilingy under the nket and called Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m already asleep.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Open the video.¡±

    ¡°¡­ There¡¯s a ckout,¡± Jun Shiling said bluntly.

    Xia Wanyuan was silent and did not hang up. She waited with Jun Shiling.

    In the end, Jun Shiling could not take it anymore. He reached out to turn on the light and a face appeared in the video.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned against the head of the bed, as if she had just taken a shower. Her hair was slightly wet.

    She looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°Pull the camera further away.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes subconsciously flickered. ¡°I have an early meeting tomorrow morning. I¡¯m going to sleep first.¡±

    ¡°Sure, then you don¡¯t have to contact me tomorrow,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and reached out to hang up.

    ¡°Hey, I was wrong, I was wrong.¡± Jun Shiling was helpless and could only pull the camera away.

    Hence, his arm, which was covered in severalyers of gauze, appeared in the camera.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that the banquet Jun Shiling was attending today was organized by the Blue family, and there was nock of celebrities from all walks of life in America. She knew Jun Shiling¡¯s way of doing things and almost instantly guessed that Jun Shiling had done it on purpose.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re quite amazing,¡± Xia Wanyuan said calmly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯m fine, right?¡± Jun Shiling felt a little guilty.

    However, this was the best opportunity now. The time, ce, and people were right.

    In the country, the power of the Jiang family was basically upied by Jiang Yun. It was time for Jiang Kui to find a breakthrough. In America, in order to rope in Jun Shiling, the Blue family happened to hold this banquet. With so many business and political big shots present, it would be a waste not to use this opportunity.

    It was not that Xia Wanyuan did not understand this logic, but when she saw Jun Shiling¡¯s injury, she would still subconsciously be angry.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was neither angry nor noisy. Shey under the nket with her phone and did not speak to Jun Shiling as she scrolled through the news.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly sighed. ¡°I still have to get up early tomorrow morning and be taught a lesson by my wife. It¡¯s not easy for men.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh at him. ¡°Who taught you a lesson?¡±

    ¡°You.¡± Jun Shiling reached out to turn off the light. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan had originally wanted to tell Jun Shiling about the explosion outside the television station building. Looking at the situation now, she did not want Jun Shiling to worry, so she hid it.

    After hanging up, Jun Shiling did not rest. Instead, he put on his clothes and brought Lin Jing out.

    At this moment, in a certain corporation in America, a group of people was looking at the man sitting at the head of the table in panic.

    ¡°Boss, let¡¯s run. We can¡¯t settle Jun Shiling at all. Will he find us?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± The leader was very disdainful. ¡°We didn¡¯t show our faces. Don¡¯t worry. Besides, the higher-ups have already arranged for us.¡±

    Those desperadoes had already been killed the moment something happened. There was no evidence to find them.

    Since the leader had said so, the others temporarily put down their uneasiness.

    At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the door, causing everyone¡¯s hearts to tremble.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± The people in the room hurriedly picked up their weapons.

    At this moment, someone barged in with a panicked expression. ¡°Boss, outside¡­¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you so flustered?¡± The leader frowned and was about to go out to see what had happened.

    The door had already been kicked open.

    ¡°You!!¡± Everyone present looked at the person at the door in horror. Before they could take the next step, people suddenly appeared from all directions and surrounded them.

    At this moment, in China, Jiang Kui grabbed the document in front of him and threw it straight at his subordinate¡¯s face. ¡°What are you doing raising you?!! You can¡¯t even do such a small thing?! Didn¡¯t you say that it was foolproof?!¡±

    Now, Jun Shiling did not die and instead caused him trouble.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, we¡¯ve already dealt with all the people in America. No one will think that it has anything to do with us.¡±

    ¡°Shut up! Do you think Jun Shiling is so gullible?¡± Jiang Kui turned around and thought about it. The mistake at this banquet might have been set up by Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling used to be protected by an iron wall. Why was it so coincidental?! There was a loophole this time. (italics)

    The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Kui felt that Jun Shiling had set a trap for him.

    ¡°Damn it!!¡± Jiang Kui was furious.

    Before he could throw the document in his hand, the phone rang.

    Jiang Kui picked up the phone. ¡°Father¡­ Yes, I¡¯ll go now.¡±

    After hanging up, Jiang Kui¡¯s expression looked very bad. He walked out with a livid expression. When he reached the door, he did not forget to shout at his subordinates, ¡°Destroy all the evidence immediately!!¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Some families panicked, while others rxed.

    At this moment, after a good night¡¯s sleep, Xia Wanyuan was leisurely walking downstairs to feed the pigeons.

    After the other people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs packed up and went downstairs, Xia Wanyuan went out with them.

    When they woke up this morning, the people around them were talking about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s programst night. The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs naturally watched it too. Now, they were surrounding Xia Wanyuan curiously.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re so awesome.¡±

    The deputy head secretly liked Xia Wanyuan.

    Although China had developed well in the past few years, those countries had been world bosses for hundreds of years, so they naturally looked down on China. Although Ennd had taken the initiative to invite them this time, they were very arrogant from all sorts of actions.

    Yesterday, the negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ennd had failed, and they had almost quarreled at the routine meeting. Everyone was filled with anger, but when they returned and saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance, everyone could not help but praise her.

    Everyone chatted andughed all the way to Ennd¡¯s museum. This kind of itinerary involving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was all at the national level, so Ennd¡¯s preparations were quite grand.

    Seeing the Chinese convoy arrive, the staff immediately went forward to wee them and brought the Deputy Head, Xia Wanyuan, and the rest into the main hall.

 Chapter 1256 - This Painting Is Mine

    <h4>Chapter 1256: This Painting Is Mine</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Entering the main hall, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow when she saw the person standing inside.

    ¡°Wee to this ce.¡± The person who spoke was young and beautiful. She spoke fluent Chinese. It was Li Qingxue.

    Back then, after being sent back by Jun Shiling, Li Qingxue quicklypleted her studies and entered Ennd¡¯s Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the help of her family.

    She had a good family background and was beautiful. In addition, she had a high education background and was capable of doing things. Soon, she became a rising youngdy in Ennd¡¯s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    Li Qingxue had strongly requested to participate in this event herself. Ennd had considered that she had half of Chinese blood in her and could speak English fluently, so they allowed her to participate.

    Now, Li Qingxue was wearing a professional suit. She looked at Xia Wanyuan arrogantly. ¡°Mrs. Jun, long time no see.¡±

    ¡°Long time no see.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Li Qingxue calmly.

    ¡°This way, please.¡± The person in charge of the museum led the way and did not notice the undercurrent between Li Qingxue and Xia Wanyuan.

    Ennd had always been famous for its culture. The famous Ennd Museum had even gathered many treasures.

    The person-in-charge did not know Chinese, so he simply handed thementary to Li Qingxue.

    As Li Qingxue walked, she slowly introduced to Xia Wanyuan and the rest.

    Back then, when Ennd entered China, they snatched many precious items back. Now, those items that originally belonged to China were lying in a ss cab, introduced by Li Qingxue as a treasure of Ennd.

    ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be such a good porcin bottle in China, right?¡± Li Qingxue introduced a porcin bottle that could be called a national treasure of China to Xia Wanyuan and deliberately mentioned this.

    Logically speaking, it was extremely inappropriate to say such things on such an asion.

    However, firstly, although they had invited many reporters today, they were all waiting in the hall outside. Secondly, Ennd had an arrogant attitude to begin with. Their conversation with the Chinese Foreign Ministry yesterday had dissatisfied them. Today, they wanted to kill China¡¯s spirit.

    Hence, under Li Qingxue¡¯s provocation, no one from Ennd came out to stop her.

    ¡°Miss Li, although you have half of China¡¯s blood in you, you don¡¯t seem to know much about China.¡± It was not suitable for the others to stand up and argue with a junior like Li Qingxue, so Xia Wanyuan consciously stood up.

    ¡°I wonder if Miss Li has heard of the porcin mother bottle? The imitation ze, imitation brother ze, imitation official ze, kiln ze, pink and green ze, clear blue ze, pine green ze, and sauce ze are all top-notch. In terms of craftsmanship, they¡¯re actually much better than the one you just mentioned. Miss Li, have you heard of blue and white flowers? And pink and colored ones?¡±

    Li Qingxue had originally taken the reception desk book here and only understood it briefly.

    She was not Chinese, so why would she spend time learning so much? She was immediately stumped by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question and was a little speechless. ¡°This is all China¡¯s history. It has nothing to do with the Ennd Museum.¡±

    ¡°Since it¡¯s not rted, then introduce the treasures of Ennd properly. Why are you talking about China?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked down at her from above, her oppressive aura making one unable to breathe.

    Only then did Li Qingxue begin to introduce the exhibits in Ennd.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was not like her. Xia Wanyuan was already very interested in these things. In the past few days, she had found a lot of information and knew every collection in Ennd¡¯s museum very well. She would even go and take a look at the various historical stories it contained.

    Hence, the current situation became quite awkward.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s reserves gradually began to fail to answer Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question.

    ¡°Miss Li, you¡¯re wrong, right? As far as I know, this crown is a product from three hundred years ago. Could it be that we¡¯re not looking at the same information?¡±

    ¡°This painting is a fake. The real collection won¡¯t be disyed easily. Miss Li, don¡¯t you even know this?¡±

    Because she did not know enough, Li Qingxue could not refute and could only let Xia Wanyuan ask.

    Ennd was too confident and only brought Li Qingxue as a Chinese trantor.

    Now, everyone only saw Li Qingxue¡¯s expression turn uglier and uglier, but they did not know why she had be so uneasy.

    Finally, after being asked one question after another by Xia Wanyuan, Li Qingxue could not help but ask, ¡°Mrs. Jun, could it be that you¡¯ve been a teacher for a long time and like toe to someone else¡¯s territory to teach?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at her. ¡°Courtesy demands reciprocity.¡±

    What she meant was that you pointed at the Chinese exhibit you snatched and mocked China first.?<i>I¡¯m just attacking ording to your own methods.</i>

    Li Qingxue was speechless by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, but at this moment, she was the only interpreter. She could only bite the bullet and continue.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped and looked at a small painting in the corner not far away.

    That painting was very sloppy. There were only a few simple strokes.

    However, it instantly caught Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    Li Qingxue took a look. ¡°After our technical appraisal, this painting is a product from more than a thousand years ago and has been preserved very well. The experts said that this is the only one in the world.¡±

    This painting was obtained from the Han Country¡¯s collectors. Because it was not certain of the dynasty, it could not be priced, but it could be detected with technical means.

    This painting was highly skilled and had a strong style. In the entire world, basically no work was simr to it. Hence, although they did not know who the painter was and what dynasty it was from, the museum still included it.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stunned expression, Li Qingxue seemed to have found a breakthrough, and mockery appeared in her eyes.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯ve said so much, but you can¡¯t say it now?? Since you¡¯re so amazing, you must be able to tell who drew this painting, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was silent. Seeing this, Li Qingxue seemed to be even more excited. It was not easy for her to seize an opportunity. She pressed on step by step. ¡°Thest time the Han Country representative came, someone suggested that this is a work of Han Country. I think¡­¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that my work could be hung up in Ennd¡¯s museum as a historical artifact?¡± Before Li Qingxue could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan interrupted her.

    ¡°What?¡± Li Qingxue was almost amused by Xia Wanyuan. She sneered. ¡°Mrs. Jun, although we all know that you know how to draw, this is probably not the time for you to show off your painting skills, right?¡±

    As soon as she finished speaking, Li Qingxue tranted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words for the others present, afraid that no one had heard her clearly.

    Instantly, the atmosphere in the venue became strange.

    The Chinese were sweating in their hearts. Although they did not know why Xia Wanyuan said this, they still subconsciously believed her.

    However, the people from Ennd were not so kind. The mockery on everyone¡¯s faces was obvious.

    The Ennd Museum was an extremely advanced museum in the world. Any collection that could be ced here could be considered a national treasure.

    The collections that could enter the warehouse had all undergone heavy inspection.

    And now, Xia Wanyuan said that she had drawn this painting. Fortunately, this was the museum¡¯s venue. The foreign ministries of both sides were present, so everyone¡¯s expressions were not especially exaggerated.

    If it were outside, someone would probablyugh out loud.

    At this point, the situation had already be tense. The curator only wanted to take China down a notch, but he did not expect it to be like this. He gave Li Qingxue a look.

    What he meant was for Li Qingxue to find a way out for Xia Wanyuan and pass this matter over. Everyone would pretend not to hear what Xia Wanyuan said.

    However, at this moment, Li Qingxue¡¯s heart was filled with resentment towards Xia Wanyuan. She did not want to understand the curator¡¯s hint at all.

    She walked forward and nced at the ancient painting disyed in the ss cab. ¡°Mrs. Jun, do you know what the Ennd Museum represents? You insulting a museum with hundreds of years of history like this is equivalent to insulting the entire Ennd.¡±

    Li Qingxue¡¯s words were very serious. The expression of the staff of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately changed.

    The deputy head looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression. Although he was still in shock, he waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to calm down.

    ording to their interactions during this period of time, everyone was more familiar with Xia Wanyuan. He believed that Xia Wanyuan should not be such a brainless person. She should have her own reasons for saying this.

    Xia Wanyuan was looking at the ancient painting in the window.

    This was the first time she had seen her work in the modern world. She was puzzled.<i>?Could it be that I really existed in the history of this world? Otherwise, how could one exin this painting in front of me??</i>

    The style in this ancient painting was different from her current painting style, but it was indeed from her.

    This painting was something she had identally graffitied when she was in charge of the three armies.

    At that time, her mind was open and she was more busy every day. She was like a sharp sword, and even when she drew, she had a sharp aura.

    Xia Wanyuan was still deep in thought. In Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes, she felt that Xia Wanyuan was guilty.

    Li Qingxue was just worried that she could not find an opportunity to embarrass Xia Wanyuan. Now, she had an opportunity. She gave a look not far away.

    Soon, a portion of the media reporters outside the hall were let in.

    The others looked at the media reporters and thought to themselves that something was wrong.

    At this moment, the curator stood up. ¡°Miss Xia, ording to many of our evidence, there¡¯s an 80% chance that this painting was done by a painter from the Han Country.¡±

    In fact, Ennd had never tested the authenticity of this guess on the ground. However, back then, this painting was obtained by the Han Country. In addition, after the Han Country¡¯s representative came to take a look, he said with certainty that this was their national treasure, so everyone believed it.

    There were many Han people in the media team. When everyone heard the curator¡¯s words, they mocked her in their hearts and took photos of Xia Wanyuan with their cameras.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The group of news media that entered not only had traditional paper media, but also various video live-stream websites.

    To the media, their sense of smell was quite sharp. Everyone captured the strange atmosphere between Li Qingxue and Xia Wanyuan and got into position. Click, click, click. A few photos had already been posted.

    While they were still in a standoff in the museum, the social media tform was already bustling.

    After all, in Ennd, the interview program Xia Wanyuan had participated inst night was currently being broadcasted. Those stunning performances were left in everyone¡¯s minds.

    The Ennd Museum was also a world-renowned museum. Any movement could attract everyone¡¯s attention.

    All the media reporters in the world were probably the same when it came to creating gimmick titles. When the reporters entered, nothing had happened, but the titles released by the media were already¡­

    ¡°Chinese celebrity Xia Wanyuan and the beautiful diplomat from Ennd, Li Qingxue, had an intense argument at the Ennd Museum.¡±

    ¡°An ancient painting that the Ennd Museum showed to the public two months ago. Xia Wanyuan imed that she drew it.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan said that her painting and calligraphy works are in Ennd¡¯s museum.¡±

    [¡­ She¡¯s too arrogant. Where did she get the courage to say that her works are in Ennd¡¯s museum?]

    [ As far as I know, the collection in Ennd¡¯s museum belongs to the dead. Is Xia Wanyuan cursing herself? ]

    When the news came out, the most excited people were not the foreignizens, but the many people in Country Han.

    There had always been rumors in the Han Country¡¯s industry that the things in Ennd¡¯s National Museum were created by painters from the Han Country.

    It was an extremely honorable thing for the Han people to have one of their ancestors¡¯ painters¡¯ works ced in the Ennd Museum.

    And now, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words had clearly shattered these people¡¯s fantasies.

    [ I¡¯m speechless simida. Xia Wanyuan is indeed from a country of thieves. She wants to steal everything from us. ]

    [Can China not steal from our Han Country one day?? Isn¡¯t it disgusting? I hate the Chinese the most. They only know how to steal from our country every day.]

    [Hehe, other than stealing our clothes, our pickles, and now, China wants to steal our national treasure, calligraphy and painting? The Ennd Museum has already stamped and verified that this is our Han Country¡¯s painting!!!]

    On the foreignwork, because of this matter, manyizens of Country Han even began to flood the Inte, pushing the topic of ¡°Thief Country China¡± onto the popr rankings.

    The Inte was in an uproar. At this moment, in Ennd¡¯s museum, Xia Wanyuan stood under the camera, neither servile nor overbearing.

    Li Qingxue looked at Xia Wanyuan mockingly. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you have to have evidence when you speak. Our museum has arge number of historical experts. Do you think your empty words canpare to these world-ss big shots?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan still had a very calm attitude. Since she was certain that it was her painting, she would not take a step back.

    With Li Qingxue¡¯s arrogant attitude, it was impossible for her not to have the approval of Ennd¡¯s museum and officials.

    Since the other party had such an attitude, she would not be afraid of trouble if she did not cause trouble.

    ¡°Then I can repeat that this painting is mine.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The smile on Li Qingxue¡¯s face widened. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re really firm. Since you insist, why don¡¯t we invite the expert group to confront you and see if our Ennd Museum got the wrong collection or if you¡¯re too confident, Mrs. Jun.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m happy to oblige.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not back down.

    As Li Qingxue spoke, she asked the staff to look for the expert group.

    Soon, the staff returned and whispered a few words into Li Qingxue¡¯s ear. Li Qingxue nodded and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°There¡¯s not enough time today. Furthermore, because the collection is precious, the painting and calligraphy are kept by many parties. They have to go through a certain process to be unsealed and inspected. How about this? We¡¯ll wait here tomorrow afternoon. When the timees, we¡¯ll let everyone see who this painting belongs to.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    At this moment, the media reporters were about to smash the shutter.

    They had thought that it would be a routine report. Who would have thought that such a huge piece of news would be exposed? Xia Wanyuan questioned the Ennd Museum.

    Behind this could be said to be apetition between China and Ennd. It was just that it was disyed in the form of painting and calligraphy. Everyone was excited.

    At this point, no one expected that they would not be able to continue visiting. No one was in the mood to continue visiting, so today¡¯s schedule ended.

    It was nearly half a day earlier than the original time.

    The reporters surrounded Xia Wanyuan and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff happily and kept asking questions.

    Although everyone¡¯s expressions were very solemn, they still surrounded Xia Wanyuan and brought her into the car.

    When they got into the car, the atmosphere in the car was very quiet. It waspletely different from the cheerful atmosphere in the past.

    It was really because Xia Wanyuan¡¯s subsequent actions caught everyone off guard.

    They had thought that it was just a verbal argument and that it would be fine if they counterattacked.

    Unexpectedly, in the end, there was actually a fight with the Ennd Museum.

    Everyone could imagine that this battle would definitely attract the attention of the world.

    Everyone present was well-educated. Although they were not professional in painting and calligraphy, they still had the ability to appreciate it.

    That ancient painting was majestic and exuded a very distant ancient aura. It really did not look like a modern product.

    Even the Deputy Head, who had always supported Xia Wanyuan, was feeling uneasy.

    If this matter was blown up, it would rise to a very high level.

    After all, they were the ones who had apanied Xia Wanyuan on this visit. If the matter blew up, the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs would have to take the me.

    Xia Wanyuan noticed everyone¡¯s expressions and looked at the Deputy Head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, since I dare to say this, I know my limits.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had such a magical power. Even though what she said and did had already exceeded everyone¡¯s understanding, everyone could not help but trust her.

    The Deputy Head looked straight into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear eyes.

    After a while, he patted the chair beside him.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go all out today. I believe you. At most, I¡¯ll resign. I¡¯ve been unhappy with those arrogant people from Ennd for a long time. Go ahead andpete. We¡¯ll help you with the public opinion in the country.¡±

    With the Deputy Head speaking, the others supported Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Yes, go. We believe in your ability.¡±

    ¡°Although I don¡¯t know painting and calligraphy, I believe in your character.¡±

    Everyone was talking in the car. Before they could walk out of the second ring, the news of Xia Wanyuan questioning the Ennd Museum and wanting to confront the entire museum.

    it had already spread throughout the world.

 Chapter 1258 - Rushing to Be Tortured

    <h4>Chapter 1258: Rushing to Be Tortured</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    There was no need to look at the Inte anymore. There was a wave of mockery. The angry Country Hanizens attacked anyone who spoke up for Xia Wanyuan.

    China quickly saw this report.

    Since Jun Shiling was not in the country, all sorts of people in the country moved out.

    The marketing ounts who had been praising Xia Wanyuan for her amazing box office a second ago began to mock her for overestimating herself the next second after collecting the money.

    ¡°Did you see the hottest topic on the Inte? Is Xia Wanyuan being praised too much? Her actions are getting more and more ridiculous. Does she know what the Ennd Museum represents?¡±

    In the current world, if everyone were to choose three museums to visit, one of them would definitely belong to the Ennd Museum.

    Its reputation was not only because of its huge collection, but also because of the huge human heritage behind the museum.

    Many of the visiting professors in the museum were experts at Cambridge University.

    The way these people sat represented authority.

    And now, Xia Wanyuan was facing such a group of people head-on.

    Even though in everyone¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was talented, no one dared to casually support her on this matter.

    [ Then¡­ Let me secretly say this. Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan a little too arrogant? This is Ennd¡¯s museum. So many people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are still standing by the side. What she said is too disrespectful. ]

    [ I think it¡¯s all the fault of the domesticizens for being too tolerant of her. They spoil her and praise her until she doesn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth. That¡¯s Ennd¡¯s museum. Even a bad student like me knows how amazing it is. How dare Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan has been in the limelight. Isn¡¯t China the one bearing the infamy¡­ Who will remember her name? Everyone will only say that the Chinese don¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth. ]

    The matter caused an uproar internationally and domestically.

    The name Xia Wanyuan was once again pushed to the center of public opinion.

    At this moment, another major event suddenly erupted internationally.

    Su Yueran quietly became China¡¯s cultural ambassador. Furthermore, she appeared in America¡¯s official pce after a while.

    In the interview video, Su Yueran was chatting happily with big shots from all walks of life. Jun Shiling was even attending the banquet on the same stage.

    However, it was not easy to get an interview with Jun Shiling. The media could only surround Su Yueran.

    ¡°Miss Su, when was this matter finalized? Why didn¡¯t any news leak before?¡±

    Su Yueran stood in front of the camera and smiled sweetly. ¡°This matter has been decided long ago. The reason why it hasn¡¯t been announced is mainly because some details are still being discussed.¡±

    The reporters chased after Su Yueran and asked many questions. Su Yueran answered very patiently.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling suddenly walked past. A bold reporter extended the microphone.

    ¡°CEO Jun, as a leading figure in China¡¯s business industry, what do you think of Miss Su bing the ambassador of the United States of America this time?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Su Yueran indifferently and said, ¡°Congrattions.¡±

    Other than that, there was nothing else.

    The reporters wanted to follow, but Jun Shiling¡¯s bodyguards had already surrounded them and blocked the reporters.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s departing figure, Su Yueran¡¯s eyes were cold.

    <i>If not for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, how would I have be like this?</i>

    <i>I would definitely let Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling taste the price.</i>

    Su Yueran¡¯s unexpected news coincided with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shocking news.

    Compared to the two, it could not help but make one think more.

    Furthermore, there were still many people taking advantage of the situation and deliberately leading the way.

    ¡°Although it¡¯s not appropriate to say this, I want to say something. Su Yueran is bringing glory to the country, and Xia Wanyuan is ndering the country. Do you agree?¡±

    [ You marketing ounts just want the world to be in chaos, right? You were the ones who praised Xia Wanyuan back then, and you¡¯re the ones stabbing her in the back now. So what if you don¡¯t agree? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, don¡¯t forcefully redeem your master. I suggest you take a look on the Inte. Because of Xia Wanyuan, we¡¯ve been scolded again. Look at Su Yueran. The Inte is filled with praises for her, okay? ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. This Su Yueran¡¯s fan in front, please clear your ount information first when you step on her, okay?? The way you pretend to be a passerby to support your master is reallyughable. ]

    Although Xia Wanyuan was far abroad, she still noticed the intensifying scolding battle on the Inte.

    Xia Wanyuan had a huge number of fans to begin with, and Su Yueran had a lot of fans too. The two of them were usually in a state of not letting each other win.

    Now, they were even pinching their parents until they did not acknowledge them.

    Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, Xia Wanyuan suddenly posted on Weibo.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°Before the truth is confirmed, don¡¯t argue meaninglessly. Be good.¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the fans quickly quietened down and stopped arguing with Su Yueran¡¯s fans.

    Less than a minute after Xia Wanyuan posted this Weibo post, Su Yueran also posted a Weibo post with simr content.

    The increasingly intense public opinion finally fell into a temporary calm under the control of the two main characters.

    However, everyone knew that the calm was only temporary.

    If Xia Wanyuan could not produce enough evidence tomorrow to prove that the painting in Ennd was hers,

    Then all the public opinion that had temporarily calmed down would face an even greater counterattack. Xia Wanyuan would be swept into the vortex and could not extricate herself.

    The fans were silently worried for Xia Wanyuan, who was leisurely shopping on the streets of Ennd.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was very popr in Ennd, she still had a Chinese appearance that the people of Ennd were unfamiliar with. In addition, she was wearing a mask. No one blocked her way when she swaggered on the street.

    Lu Li followed Xia Wanyuan and looked curiously at the clothes in the window. ¡°Sister Xia, the style of the clothes here is different from China, but they¡¯re quite good-looking.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at a shop. ¡°Go in and try. I¡¯ll buy today¡¯s clothes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing clothes that she had designed herself, but Xia Wanyuan did not ask everyone around her to wear Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes.

    On the contrary, Xia Wanyuan was very generous. When she saw beautiful clothes, she would bring the employees to try them.

    After Lu Li worked, she had been saving money and rarely bought clothes. Now, her clothes were basically bought by Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sister Xia, you¡¯re the best!!¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Go ahead. Try it. I¡¯ll sit by the side.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at a small fountain garden beside her.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Lu Li entered the clothing store. Xia Wanyuan sat on the bench beside her and fed the pigeons.

    The setting sun of Ennd had a different beauty. The pigeon pped its wings and flew up, inexplicably calming one¡¯s heart.

    However, in peaceful scenes, there were always some people who destroyed this perfect mood.

    Xia Wanyuan sat in another direction, thinking that she would just pretend not to see those two eyesores.

    However, things did not go as nned.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to pretend not to see them, but the two people on the other side walked straight towards her.

    ¡°Sister, isn¡¯t this your niece-inw? Why are you sitting here alone?¡± The person who spoke had silver-gray hair and was dressed fashionably. Her blue eyes were filled with mockery.

    It was Manda, the fashion director of Camellia.

    Back then, when she was chased out of China by Jun Shiling, Manda had always hated Xia Wanyuan.

    However, be it the various fashionpetitions or designpetitions, Manda thought of all sorts of ways but could not pull Xia Wanyuan down.

    She could only watch as Xia Wanyuan won one big award after another.

    Camellia¡¯s Chinapany was single-handedly facilitated by Manda. Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Xiu Yi, Camellia¡¯s original market strategy in China had all failed, and Manda¡¯s prestige in thepany had decreased a lot.

    Beside Manda, Lady York stood upright. Every inch of her seemed to be telling passers-by that this person was from the royal family of Ennd.

    ]When she was not attending events, Xia Wanyuan had always dressed casually. In addition, Xia Wanyuan was pregnant.

    At this moment, she was out shopping. She was wearing a pair of simple ts and a cotton dress.

    She did not put on any makeup or even style her hair.

    In Madam York¡¯s eyes, every trace of casualness on Xia Wanyuan was an embodiment of being uneducated, uncultured with no status.

    Lady York nced at Xia Wanyuan and shook her head.

    <i>So what if she entered the family and became Jun Shiling¡¯s legitimate wife? She still could not change her lowly nature.?</i>

    Receiving the mockery in Madam York¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was really speechless.

    She did not know where Jun Shiling¡¯s cheap rtive got such a sense of superiority from. It was as if she had to show off her noble status by belittling others at all times.

    Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered with her. She fed the pigeons with the bait.

    It was clearly Manda and Madam York who hade forward themselves, but when Xia Wanyuan really ignored them, the two of them began to feel unbnced again.

    ¡°I heard that Mrs. Jun is suspecting that our museum collection is fake?¡± Manda could not help but ask her again.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan looked up at Manda. Her cold eyes made one¡¯s heart turn cold.

    ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Manda brushed the non-existent dust off her body. ¡°No problem. I¡¯m just curious where you got your courage from. I really want toe to the venue tomorrow to see Mrs. Jun¡¯s heroic bearing.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan threw the pigeon bait at the two olddies¡¯ feet and pped her hands. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    At that moment, Lu Li had alreadye out of the clothing store in her new clothes. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Lu Li waved at her happily.

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked towards Lu Li, ignoring Madam York¡¯s attempt to suppress her gaze.

    Manda still wanted to stop Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan had just thrown arge handful of bait at her feet.

    The color of the clothes Manda was wearing was extremely eye-catching. The pigeons in the entire square flew towards Manda and fought for food at her feet.

    Madam York had always been pampered. How could she havee into contact with pigeons so close? She immediately jumped to the side in fear.

    After jumping, she realized that she had been too rude just now, so she could only endure the difort and walk back.

    However, there were too many pigeons. They surrounded the two of them and pped their wings. There were even pigeons circling above Lady York¡¯s head.

    Pa!

    Lady York raised her arm and touched the top of her head.

    Unfortunately, it was a wet thing.

    At this moment, Lady York could not care less about royal etiquette. She screamed and jogged out of the square.

    Manda chased the pigeon away as she scolded.

    At this moment, there were not many people in the square. Their actions attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Even Lu Li, who had juste out, could not help but look over. ¡°Why are there so many pigeons?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and retracted her gaze. ¡°Ignore them.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Li nodded, then spun in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister Xia, does this dress look good?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Yes, go like this.¡±

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Lu Li was puzzled.?<i>It was already evening and there was no extra schedule.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan pointed at a cafe not far away. ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the hotel to rest myself. Go over there and find someone to ask him why he hasn¡¯t thought it through.¡±

    Lu Li looked at the cafe thoughtfully. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the hotel building first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pregnancy was hidden from others.

    However, although Lu Li did not know that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant, Jun Shiling called her aside and instructed her alone for half an hour before she left.

    Lu Li swore that that was the most suffocating half an hour she had ever felt in her life.

    She usually saw Jun Shiling beside Xia Wanyuan. Lu Li felt that Jun Shiling was quite easy to get along with.

    However, when she was alone with Jun Shiling, Lu Li finally knew what it meant to be punished by the domineering CEO.

    Lu Li sent Xia Wanyuan back to the hotel before running to the cafe Xia Wanyuan had mentioned.

    As she had expected, Xuan Sheng was leaning back in his seat by the French window. The diamond earrings by his ears were shining.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Lu Li walked over.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng shook the coffee in his cup. ¡°Today was purely coincidental. I came first.¡±

    Lu Li sat beside Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, Sister Xia asked me to ask you if you have thought it through.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was silent for a moment.

    At this moment, there was only thest afterglow of the evening sun. The warm yellow light shone on Xuan Sheng¡¯s face.

    Xuan Sheng smiled at himself and looked at Lu Li.

    ¡°What if I said that I had already thought it through?¡±

    Lu Li did not quite understand what he meant. ¡°Then you?¡±

    Xuan Sheng leaned back in his chair and looked at the sky outside the window.

    He thought through everything and felt that he would never be able to let go.

    So just like that, he epted everything,

    as long as he could have the chance to be in the same city as Xia Wanyuan and see her asionally.

    Perhaps in the eyes of others, he was torturing himself.

    However, in Xuan Sheng¡¯s opinion,

    This was clearly a rare peace in his life that was like salvation.

    <i>A child is not a fish, how can one know the joy of a fish??</i>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Lu Li did not understand Xuan Sheng¡¯s words, but she could see the emotions in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes clearly.

    The setting sun was very gentle, but it could notpare to Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze.

    Perhaps Xuan Sheng himself did not notice this gaze.

    Every time he mentioned Xia Wanyuan, his eyes would subconsciously reveal this gentle gaze, making one know that Xuan Sheng must have thought of the softest person in his heart.

    Lu Li could not tell what she was feeling. She felt suffocated and wanted to cry.

    This feeling of wanting to cry was firstly because she was moved by Xuan Sheng¡¯s love, and secondly, because she was sad for Xuan Sheng.

    Lu Li had always been a little confused about rtionships.

    However, at this moment, she looked at Xuan Sheng and suddenly felt that

    <i>Love was really the most confusing thing in the world.</i>

    <i>If only everyone liked each other. That way, there would not be so many sad people.</i>

    Xuan Sheng took a deep breath and drank all the red wine in the ss. Then, he raised an eyebrow at Lu Li.

    ¡°Little sister, don¡¯t be sad here. Let¡¯s go. Brother will bring you to y. You¡¯ve never been to Ennd, right?¡±

    Lu Li stood up and followed Xuan Sheng.

    At that moment, in the hotel, Xia Wanyuan was a little tired. She washed up and prepared to rest for a while before eating when she woke up.

    However, just as shey on the bed, her phone rang.

    Without looking, she knew that it was Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuany on the pillow, her voice soft.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m preparing to sleep.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired from walking today. I¡¯m sleepy.¡±

    ¡°Alright, you go sleep.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Call me when you¡¯re awake. I¡¯ll wait for your orders at any time.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Jun Shiling handed the phone to Lin Jing and strode into the room.

    The room was very dark. There were a few people on the ground. Their hands and feet were tied, and their eyes were covered by a ck cloth.

    Hearing someonee, these people hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°Please let me go. I really don¡¯t know anything.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the secret guard beside him. The secret guard whipped down, and screams filled the room.

    ¡°Tell me, who is the person in charge of meeting you? Where are they hiding now?¡± The secret guard asked as he sshed salt water on the person on the ground.

    The burning pain was stimted by the salt water, and the person on the ground immediately wanted to die.

    ¡°I really¡­ don¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t know??¡± The secret guards carried a pile of things up. ¡°From your information, you¡¯re a Chinese who was arranged to go to America since you were young. I wonder if you¡¯ve heard of the 100 tortures in China?¡±

    The person kneeling on the ground trembled. ¡°Please let me go.¡±

    ¡°Tell me the truth and I¡¯ll naturally let you off.¡± After the secret guard finished speaking, seeing that these people were still stubborn, he began to punish them.

    Reality proved that between threatening with death and slowly torture, thetter was clearly more effective.

    In less than two rounds, these people exined everything.

    They confessed to all the information and addresses of the people in charge of contacting them.

    During the interrogation of the assassination in the American banquet, the secret guards even learned some domestic matters from these people.

    China,

    ]Ever since Lin Qingyuan arrived in Beijing, he had stayed in Beijing. From the looks of it, he seemed to have the intention of staying permanently.

    Lin Qingdai would report to Lin Qingyuan every few days and y chess with him.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost time for your wedding, right?¡± Lin Qingyuan ced a chess piece on the chessboard and looked up at Lin Qingdai.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Speaking of weddings, there was nock of joy in Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes. Other thaning to Lin Qingyuan, he had been carefully preparing for his wedding with Jiang Yun.

    It could be said that Lin Qingdai had personally asked about the size of the wedding and the entireyout.

    ¡°Jiang Yun is a good girl,¡± Lin Qingyuan said unhurriedly, making it impossible to pry into his true thoughts. ¡°When you¡¯re married, live well. Don¡¯t copy me and your sister-inw.¡±

    Lin Qingdai did not know how to respond to Lin Qingyuan¡¯s words.

    Lin Qingdai had never understood Lin Qingyuan and Su Yueran¡¯s rtionship. He could only echo, ¡°Thank you for your blessings, Master.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Qingyuan put down a chess piece in the end.

    On the chessboard, his side was already overwhelming. As this chess piecended, Lin Qingyuan won.

    He stood up. ¡°Alright, I know you care about your delicate wife at home. Go back and apany Jiang Yun. You don¡¯t have toe to my side before the wedding.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingdai stood up and carefully refilled Lin Qingyuan¡¯s cup of tea before leaving.

    Looking at the steaming tea, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes flickered. He stopped Lin Qingdai.

    ¡°Wait.¡±

    ¡°Is there anything else, master?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just reminding you that there¡¯s a lot of trouble in the marriage between the Lin family and the Jiang family. Didn¡¯t I give you a bulletproof vest? Wear it on the wedding day just in case.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s words made sense, and a hint of warmth shed across Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Thank you for your concern, Master. I¡¯ll be careful.¡±

    Lin Qingdai gradually walked away. Lin Qingyuan looked at the chessboard on the table.

    After a while, he reached out and destroyed the chess piece on the table.

    Not long after Lin Qingdai left, Jiang Kui arrived at Lin Qingyuan¡¯s.

    Seeing the chess pieces all over the ground, Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°Master Lin, who are you angry with?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan gestured for Jiang Kui to sit down and said, ¡°I¡¯m not angry with anyone. I¡¯m just not very happy while ying chess. CEO Jiang, why are you here?¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s expression did not look good and was filled with fatigue. ¡°What else can it be? Isn¡¯t Master Lin clear about my matters?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, you must be joking. I¡¯m not that free to worry about what you¡¯re doing every day.¡±

    ¡°Our old man doesn¡¯t trust me anymore,¡± Jiang Kui said and punched the table hard. A few drops of water sshed out of the teacup in front of Lin Qingyuan.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, calm down.¡± Lin Qingyuan¡¯s expression was calm, as if he was not surprised by this news at all.

    ¡°Yesterday, in front of thepany¡¯s board of directors, he told everyone that Jiang Yun is a very qualified sessor.¡± Speaking of this, Jiang Kui was so angry that his face and neck turned red. ¡°Where did he put me?!¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, just say what you came for.¡± Lin Qingyuan drank his tea calmly.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes were fierce. ¡°I¡¯m not at ease with the manpower on my side. I want to borrow people from you.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan had a group of death warriors who were only loyal to him, and every one of them had unique skills.

    After the failed assassination at the American banquet, Jiang Kui was panicking. He could not believe his subordinates.

    He was afraid that something would happen again. He could not lose anymore. If he allowed Jiang Yun to gradually infiltrate the Jiang family corporation, when her wings were full, he would not have any ability to counterattack.

    ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Lin Qingyuan was waiting for Jiang Kui¡¯s request. ¡°However¡­¡±

    ¡°I can agree to any request. As long as you help me get rid of Jiang Yun and let me take over the Jiang family corporation, I¡¯ll cooperate with you in any market you want.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes finally fluctuated. He put down his teacup and reached out to Jiang Kui. ¡°Then let¡¯s have a happy cooperation.¡±

    ¡°Happy cooperation.¡± Jiang Kui held Lin Qingyuan¡¯s hand tightly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

    At this moment, overseas, Lin Jing was reporting to Jun Shiling about Jiang Yun¡¯s wedding.

    ¡°CEO Jun, those few people just revealed some things about Jiang Yun¡¯s wedding. ording to them, Jiang Kui is already desperate and is preparing to use the most extreme methods.¡±

    Hearing Lin Jing¡¯s words, Jun Shiling gently tapped his finger on the table twice.

    He had nned to not get too involved in the Jiang family¡¯s matters, but there were some things that had to be ordered.

    ¡°Disclose some news to Jiang Yun. Don¡¯t reveal everything.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Jing bowed respectfully. ¡°Then I¡¯ll do it now.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Soon, someone sent a letter to Jiang Yun¡¯s house in China.

    ¡ª¡ª

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up, the sky was already dark.

    She quietly looked at the moonlight outside the window and felt a little empty.

    Xia Wanyuan had forgotten where she had read a report saying that it was not suitable to take an afternoon nap in the afternoon and it was easy to have nightmares.

    Xia Wanyuan, who had always slept well, had a nightmare this afternoon.

    It was about her previous life.

    However, when she woke up, she could not remember the exact dream. There was only that palpitation that kept lingering in her heart and could not dissipate.

    Xia Wanyuan turned on the light, took her phone, and called Jun Shiling.

    The call was quickly connected. Jun Shiling¡¯s maic voice sounded. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±

    Her heart palpitations were swept away, and Xia Wanyuan seemed to have fallen back to the ground. ¡°Mm, I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to prepare dinner for you just now. After you hang up, I¡¯ll get them to send it to you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sniffed. ¡°When are you returning?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s tone had a hint of a smile. ¡°Why? Did you miss me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan wrapped her hair with her index finger and subconsciously circled it.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart warmed. ¡°When I¡¯m done here, if I have time tomorrow, I¡¯ll go to Ennd.¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow?¡± Xia Wanyuan was shocked. ¡°I was just saying. You don¡¯t have to speciallye here for me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling had many things to do. In fact, ever since she first came to Ennd, Xia Wanyuan had already begun to miss Jun Shiling, but she had been holding it in and not saying anything.

    Today, it was mainly because she had woken up from a nap in the afternoon that she was floating. Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s voice, she could not help but say it.

    ¡°I know.¡± Lin Jing seemed to have something to report. Jun Shiling waved his hand and gestured for Lin Jing to wait first. ¡°But I want to see you too.¡±

    ¡°Okay then.¡±

    ¡°Besides.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice was very gentle. ¡°Isn¡¯t our Madam Jun going topete with someone else? As your husband, how can I note and support you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go eat first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Jun Shiling gestured for Lin Jing toe in.

    Lin Jing walked forward and handed a document to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I just received news that the Blue family is willing to cooperate with Chu Xuan and want to have a joint marriage with them.¡±

    ¡°What did Chu Xuan say?¡± Jun Shiling flipped through the information. The marriage partner on it was surprisingly Li Na of the Blue family.

    ¡°There hasn¡¯t been much reaction from Chu Xuan¡¯s side. However-¡± Speaking of this, Lin Jing¡¯s eyes shed with a strange glint. ¡°There has been news saying that a woman has appeared beside Chu Xuan recently. A woman that is extremely simr to Feng Wuyou in terms of personality.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling was looking at the information. ¡°I understand. Book a ne ticket to Ennd first. Come to Ennd with me tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was going topete with the Ennd Museum.

    When dawn broke the next day, Xia Wanyuan was still unconscious.

    Outside her hotel room were already filled with staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Everyone was wearing red hats and red rubber bands on their wrists.

    Lu Li looked over early in the morning and really did not recognize them. She thought that the elders were out on a tour.

    It was only when she saw the recognizable face of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs that Lu Li dared to step forward. ¡°Minister, what are you doing?¡±

    ¡°All the best to Wanyuan!¡± The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not have to participate in today¡¯s event in the official name. Everyone was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s supporter from the bottom of their hearts.

    ¡°¡­¡± Lu Li really wanted to say that they were so down-to-earth. The people she usually saw on television were all big shots with iron teeth and copper teeth.

    Now, this outfit of an old tourist group was quite fun.

    As everyone was talking, the door to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s room opened.

    Xia Wanyuan subconsciously narrowed her eyes when she was blinded by arge patch of red.

    Before she could speak, the Deputy Head had already rushed up with his men.

    ¡°Wanyuan!! Victory!!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was not as reserved as Lu Li. There was a smile in her eyes. ¡°Minister, are you so down-to-earth today?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± The deputy minister looked at Xia Wanyuan as if he was looking at his very hardworking daughter. ¡°Don¡¯t worry and fight with them. No matter what the oue is, you¡¯re already half a daughter in my heart.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± To be honest, Xia Wanyuan was very touched.

    Surrounded by everyone, a group of people rushed towards the museum.

    However, when they were only five hundred meters away from the museum, their car could no longer enter.

    The scale of today¡¯s event far exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination.

    Whether Xia Wanyuan would embarrass herself in the end or the museum in Ennd will make a mistake, everyone wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

    <i>Who was this woman who dared to challenge the entire Ennd Museum alone?</i>

    The official media were shocked when they came to report the scene.

    They did not expect so many people!!

    Furthermore, other than the audience who came to watch themotion, there were celebrities from all walks of life, professors from various universities, and students who came because of the reputation. It could be described as a sea of people.

    The foreigners were watching themotion.

    However, when the people in the country saw therge group of foreign professors who could be directly enrolled in textbooks, they had the same thoughts.

    <i>Oh no.</i>

 Chapter 1260 - Slapping the Experts

    <h4>Chapter 1260: pping the Experts</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Although everyone was enthusiastic on the way here, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were a little afraid to see so many famous people that they rarely saw.

    It was not that they were timid, but any one of the people opposite them could go to Qing University and be an honorary professor. They were all leaders of all walks of life.

    No one could understand why these people were so free toe and watch the show.

    Not far away, a glint shed across Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes when she saw so many celebrities.

    Although the matter between Xia Wanyuan and the Ennd Museum had blown up, it was not enough to attract so many people.

    To be able to make so many peoplee to watch the show, Li Qingxue and Lady York were naturally involved.

    The Dray family behind Li Qingxue and the York family behind Madam York were both rtively important royal families in Ennd.

    They had already personally invited everyone to watch the show, so it was impossible for everyone not to give them face.

    Hence, there was this majestic scene today.

    Li Qingxue walked towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, are you sure you still insist on your own opinion??¡±

    ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at Li Qingxue indifferently, her eyes expressionless.

    The corners of Li Qingxue¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°No problem. I hope Mrs. Jun can still be so confidentter.¡±

    With that, Li Qingxue walked into the venue in high heels, and the others followed one after another.

    Although they wanted to see how Xia Wanyuan could prove that the painting was hers, Li Qingxue did not specially invite so many big shots in the industry for nothing.

    Although she was far away in Ennd, she had also heard that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s talent was prevalent in China.

    Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity, the paintings under her name were also well-received by everyone. China¡¯s culture was slowly seeping out.

    This was not what the officials of Ennd wanted to see.

    Hence, on this trip to the museum, Li Qingxue was given a mission by the officials.

    Xia Wanyuan was now the main source of output outside the Chinese cultural team. They had to kill Xia Wanyuan and let the world see.

    The Western culture was the advanced culture, and the Eastern culture represented by the Chinese culture was just trash that was not worth poprizing and promoting.

    In order to cooperate with Li Qingxue, the officials even secretly invited arge number of professors from Cambridge University.

    Other than Ennd, many industry big shots had alsoe from America.

    Among them was Master Danny, whom Xia Wanyuan was very familiar with.

    Because he had recognized the wrong disciple, Danny had always had a grudge against Xia Wanyuan.

    At first, there was some regret and pity, butter on, Master Danny saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s terrifying growth potential.

    The pity and regret he had back then waspletely gone. He only felt panic and fear.

    He was worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rise, worried that Xia Wanyuan would pursue the matter of Li Na changing the paintingst year.

    Hence, this time, after receiving the official invitation from Ennd, Danny rushed over with a group of people without a word.

    Since yesterday, there had been many media reporters waiting in the museum.

    Now, all the media reporters who could rush to the museum in half an hour rushed over.

    Because today¡¯s victory scene could be said to be rare in decades.

    With so many big shots gathered,

    Apetition that began with a small argument became a sharp confrontation between Chinese and Western culture in the end.

    The museum had opened a live-stream channel to the world.

    In the camera, everyone could see that

    In the museum hall that could almost amodate more than five hundred people, it was filled with foreigners, and opposite them were six Chinese led by Xia Wanyuan.

    The foreigners were already tall and strong. In addition, with hundreds of people gathered, the Chinese opposite them were especially petite.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was not afraid at all. She stood there quietly, as if she had the aura to resist a thousand troops.

    Most of the foreignizens were discussing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty and teasing the Chinese about their height and narrowed eyes.

    However, the domesticizens¡¯ hearts ached.

    Usually, everyone yed on Weibo, their own territory. They could not imagine that Chinese people would be bullied like this overseas.

    [I feel like crying. This scene is actually the situation China is facing in the world. Other than a few ces that are willing to support us, the rest all want to destroy us and bully us.]

    [ It¡¯s not easy for Xia Wanyuan¡­ Although I kept saying a few days ago that she overestimated herself, I now feel that no matter how overestimating she is, she still has the courage to say no. ]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. Is there something wrong with Ennd? They¡¯re clearly bullying us, right?? There are so many big shots and professors. Don¡¯t tell me they were all invited to suppress Xia Wanyuan alone?? Does Ennd have to be so shameless!!! ]

    In the museum, everyone was facing each other.

    Xia Wanyuan and the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were all very sensitive people.

    Seeing the situation opposite them, everyone understood.

    This time, Ennd was going topletely suppress China¡¯s culture in front of the world, and that target was Xia Wanyuan.

    Opposite, Li Qingxue looked at Xia Wanyuan and the rest arrogantly. ¡°Our museum¡¯s things are all-epassing. Time was tight yesterday, so I didn¡¯t have time to introduce these contents to everyone in detail. In order to let you feel our sincerity, I specially invited experts to study these today. Let¡¯s visit another exhibition area together.¡±

    The deputy minister understood that he was about to make a move. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Wanyuan, can you do it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. Her cold eyes had a faint light.

    ¡°Minister, you should be more confident in our culture.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan walked forward, leaving the Deputy Head stunned on the spot for a while before reacting.

    He looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. For some reason, his eyes felt inexplicably sour.

    He had done nearly thirty years of diplomatic work.

    To be honest, thirty years ago, China was so poor that they could not even afford to eat.

    How could a poor country have diplomacy? They could only be bullied everywhere outside.

    In the end, the country slowly became rich.

    However, over the years, the economy had developed too quickly. Although the entire China had be stronger, it had left an image of a ¡°nouveau riche¡± for others.

    Sometimes, when they visited other countries, people from some countries would even specially ask them if they would snatch the toilet lid back when they came back for a business trip.

    There were too many such things that he had forgotten.

    In fact, the ce behind him was a culture that would always stand at the front in the history of world reincarnation.

    Foreigners did not understand, so it was understandable for there to be a misunderstanding.

    <i>However, when did we forget the confidence that should have made us straighten our backs and speak in the world???</i>

    The deputy minister stood rooted to the ground in relief.

    Xia Wanyuan walked towards the hundreds of people opposite her alone.

    His footsteps were firm and did not show any fear, making him, who was active on the diplomatic stage all year round, feel inferior.

    He smiled and shook his head. ¡°Young people these days are amazing.¡±

    The staff beside him did not hear what he was saying. ¡°Minister, what did you say?¡±

    The deputy head smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel that Xia Wanyuan is really not bad.¡±

    The staff nodded and agreed with the deputy minister. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan hadpletely walked to the opposite team, he hurriedly urged the deputy minister to follow. ¡°Minister, let¡¯s go with her.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, Master Danny reached out to her first. ¡°Miss Xia, long time no see.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and did not reach out to shake his hand. Instead, she used Jun Shiling to block the gun. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my husband doesn¡¯t like me shaking hands with other men.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Master Danny looked a little embarrassed. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan would restrain herself a little in front of the camera. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so firm.

    Li Qingxue sneered at the side. ¡°What era is it? Why are you still doing feudal things?? Mrs. Jun, don¡¯t tell me you still have the habit of wrapping your feet?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°I estimated that Miss Li should be a size 34 shoe. I¡¯m 37.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, everyone present could not help but look at Li Qingxue.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s expression was a little ugly. Her feet were small to begin with, and she had specially worn a pair of even smaller shoes today. They looked at least half the size of the feet of the surrounding Ennders.

    ia Wanyuan quietly added, ¡°It seems that Miss Li values our Chinese customs very much.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes widened in anger. Fortunately, the staff beside her pulled her sleeve and calmed her down.

    In order to prevent an ident, the live-stream was dyed. Hence, when Li Qingxue began to mock Xia Wanyuan, the live-stream had already cut off the video.

    The audience thought that the live-stream was stuck. When the video was connected again, it happened to be Xia Wanyuan looking down at Li Qingxue.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is too arrogant. This expression makes it seem like someone owes her a lot of money. Is there a need? She thinks too highly of herself? ]

    [ Li Qingxue, re back. I¡¯ve really given Xia Wanyuan face. Has she forgotten that she¡¯s here to cause trouble?! Her attitude is actually so bad. ]

    theizens were scolding enthusiastically. In the museum, everyone was already slowly walking towards the exhibition hall.

    There were many treasures from China in Ennd¡¯s exhibition hall. These were all snatched from China more than a hundred years ago.

    Now that they passed by these exhibits, an expert proudly introduced the value of these things to Xia Wanyuan, how precious they were.

    However, most of the people present were experts who specialized in a certain field. They might know the value and origins of all sorts of cultural relics, but in terms of ¡°speech war¡±, they really could not bepared to Xia Wanyuan.

    After all, in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan could borrow tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the three states and sixteen towns with her own mouth.

    No matter how many traps these experts dug for her, Xia Wanyuan could urately catch the trap and change the host.

    When they visited a very beautiful porcin that was crystal clear and filled with cracks, an expert from Ennd tried to show off Ennd¡¯s advanced technology.

    ¡°Actually, this bowl was almost destroyed by your archaeologist back then. Your China is too disrespectful to cultural relics, so you threw it on the ground.

    When we took this bowl, it had already shattered into many fragments. Our staff spent three years repairing it through all sorts of high-end technology.

    If not for meeting us, I¡¯m afraid this expensive and beautiful bowl would never be able to see the light of day again.¡±

    As soon as the expert finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan did not answer him immediately. Instead, she looked at the camera in the live-stream not far away.

    The staff there were connected to themand room.

    They had to prevent any possible situations.

    As long as Xia Wanyuan said anything that would suppress the experts from Ennd, the entire live broadcast would be instantly cut off.

    The staff sensed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze and his actions were stunned for a moment, thinking that Xia Wanyuan had sensed their small actions.

    However, Xia Wanyuan only nced at him quietly, then retracted her gaze as if she had not discovered anything.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was silent, the expert began to praise his country¡¯s technological standards again. At the same time, he belittled China¡¯s casual treatment of cultural relics and its backward technology.

    ¡°Do you know why this bowl was casually ced on the ground?¡± The silent Xia Wanyuan suddenly spoke.

    Those who were originally talking separately focused their gazes on Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What else could it be? Your technology standards are poor, and the archeologists don¡¯t have protective consciousness.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently pointed at the porcin bowl in the ss cab.

    ¡°Since Professor Smith specializes in this, I want to ask if you know where this bowl is from?¡±

    ¡°Of course I know. This bowl is produced in the southwest of China,¡± the Ennd expert said confidently.

    This porcin bowl was exquisite and had been there for a long time. Through technical means, one could infer that it was a product from hundreds of years ago and came from the southwest. However, there was no way to detect where it was with technical means.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the professor from Ennd. ¡°This porcin bowl came from the Qingshan Kiln in the southwest.¡±

    The experts present were a little stunned. They had never heard of this kiln factory.

    ¡°Miss Xia, do you think you can spout nonsense just because you¡¯re Chinese and think that we don¡¯t know China¡¯s history? I think I have to introduce you to the identities of the people standing in front of you.¡± The mockery in Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes was about to overflow.

    ¡°The person who introduced this porcin to you just now is an archeologist from Continent Y of Cambridge University. He¡¯s famous in the world. It¡¯s too naive of you to want to fool him.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    When Li Qingxue said this, the surrounding people could not help but mock her.

    Professor Charles was famous in the history world. What he said could be ced in ss and directly used as teaching content.

    Facing many questioning gazes, Xia Wanyuan appeared very calm.

    ¡°Can¡¯t a professor make mistakes?¡±

    ¡°Then tell me, what did I say was wrong??¡± Professor Charles was also a little annoyed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    He enjoyed an illustrious reputation in this industry. How could a little girl from nowhere casually fool him?

    Xia Wanyuan leaned closer to the bowl and pointed at the name on it. ¡°This bowl does not have the cracked ice pattern at all.¡±

    ¡°What a joke.¡± Before anyone could speak, Li Qingxue jumped out first. The mockery in her eyes was about to overflow. ¡°Miss Xia, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know the five major porcins in China? Even someone like me who knows them well knows that this is the ssic appearance of a cracked ice pattern.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Professor Charles. ¡°Since Professor Charles has always been in charge of this project, there should be information. Are there a few doubts in your information?

    For example, the ze of this porcin bowl is actually not smooth. Although it looks like a cracked ice pattern, there¡¯s actually a difference. Also, there¡¯s actually a small ck mark at the bottom of this porcin bowl.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were baffling. Everyone felt that she was casually talking nonsense. Only Professor Charles and a few others who had studied it seriously suddenly had their expressions change drastically.

    Because Xia Wanyuan was talking about the characteristics of this bowl that outsiders did not know.

    <i>However, this bowl had already arrived at the Ennd Museum more than a hundred years ago. How did Xia Wanyuan know??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan stopped halfway through her sentence. ¡°If Professor Charles feels that there¡¯s something wrong with what I said, you can point it out.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s gazes focused on Charles. Everyone thought that he would argue on the basis of reason. Who would have thought that Charles would only mutter a few words before looking at Xia Wanyuan with anticipation? ¡°Why are these reasons? If it¡¯s not a cracked ice pattern porcin, what is it?¡±

    ¡°This is a burning technology passed down from more than a thousand years ago. It¡¯s specially used by the royal family¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan began to exin the origins of this porcin to everyone present.

    Its historical origin and its unique way of preserving it. In the end, everyone understood that it was not because the people there did not know how to preserve this thing.

    Instead, because of the unique climate and moisture conditions in the southwest mountains, only by cing it in the air could the porcin maintain its original luster.

    In the end, it cracked into its current state because the Ennd Museum treated it as an expensive cracked ice pattern to safeguard. Instead, itpletely lost its original appearance.

    Although what Xia Wanyuan said was especially unbelievable, every point she said was supported by solid evidence.

    Xia Wanyuan had a veryplicated temperament.

    She had a political background and had a strong ability to control the situation. Her logical thinking was top-notch. In addition, after being a teacher for a period of time, she knew how to make boring knowledge interesting.

    Although cultures were different, humans had the same mood when they admired and felt beauty.

    Through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation, everyone seemed to have been brought to that magical southwest world.

    It was as if she was with those craftsmen. In the rainy weather, she pulled the bellows and calcined countless exquisite porcin in the mes.

    Professor Charles had been listening attentively until Xia Wanyuan finished speaking. He was very interested in what Xia Wanyuan had said.

    He knew that he studied Continent Y¡¯s culture, but some of the things Xia Wanyuan had just mentioned made him feel very unfamiliar.

    After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Charles¡¯s attitude changed. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan was someone who hade to cause trouble. He did not expect her to really know this very well.

    ¡°Miss Xia, what you said is very interesting and right.¡± The characteristics of the porcin in the exhibition hall that Xia Wanyuan had pointed out were information that only members of the museum had. This was also the reason why Charles believed her.

    Seeing that some people had already begun tomunicate with Xia Wanyuan, Li Qingxue gritted her teeth and forced a smile. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re amazing. I didn¡¯t expect you to study porcin too.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I should know more about my country¡¯s things.¡± Li Qingxue deliberately wanted Xia Wanyuan to be embarrassed. She knew this very well. Xia Wanyuan turned around and pointed at a piece of parchment not far away. ¡°I heard that Miss Li has the royal blood of Ennd. Can you help me exin the origin of this?¡±

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, everyone¡¯s gazesnded on Li Qingxue.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s expression darkened.

    She was not interested in these things, so how could she know what the parchment was?

    Back then, when she remembered those introductions, she remembered that they were rtively famous treasures. She did not even look at such an inconspicuous thing in the corner.

    She originally wanted to take a look at the name introduction of the parchment, but she did not know if Xia Wanyuan did it on purpose. She happened to block the name in front of the ss disy cab.

    Time passed minute by minute. Li Qingxue¡¯s palm was about to be pinched by herself. Finally, she said, ¡°This isn¡¯t an important exhibit, so¡­¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Li Qingxue inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

    As expected, in the next second, Xia Wanyuan took a step back, revealing the name on the ss disy cab.

    ¡°Ack Lei Hand Book¡±

    Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes widened.<i>?This person was the ancestor of our Dray family, the famous general of Ennd.</i>

    ¡°If I remember correctly, this Mr. Dray is your ancestor, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Li Qingxue with a faint smile.

    The strange gazes of the surrounding peoplended on Li Qingxue. Li Qingxue finally could not help but lower her head. After calming down, she looked up again. ¡°I usually don¡¯t read much and don¡¯t know much about these ancestors¡¯ items.¡±

    ¡°I see.¡± Xia Wanyuan had never taken the initiative to provoke others, but if she was provoked, she would not be polite. ¡°Why don¡¯t I teach you?¡±

    With that, without waiting for Li Qingxue¡¯s response, Xia Wanyuan began to exin the historical background of the appearance of this parchment to Li Qingxue, as well as why the Ack Dray family had written this letter back then and who it was for.

    Not only did Xia Wanyuan exin this parchment, but she also exined it to the other relevant exhibits in this museum.

    From human portraits to cups, crowns, and weapons, Xia Wanyuan seemed to know this ce better than the real staff in the museum.

    It was easy to connect. Every item and item seemed to be unrted, but in a specific historical background, there was really an unclear connection between them.

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she exined Li Qingxue¡¯s family history to her.

    This action was very subtle in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    In Li Qingxue¡¯s opinion, it was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

    This was Ennd. She, Li Qingxue, was the master, and Xia Wanyuan was the guest.

    Furthermore, Li Qingxue was a descendant of the Dray family.

    Under such a scene, Li Qingxue was told about her family¡¯s history by Xia Wanyuan. This was simply pping someone without making a sound.

    The others were not as embarrassed as Li Qingxue. Everyone hade here to watch themotion. Now, they would watch anyone be embarrassed.

    Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s exnation was really interesting. Everyone listened with relish, hoping that Xia Wanyuan would tell them more.

    However, the more Xia Wanyuan spoke, the more embarrassed Li Qingxue felt.

    By the time Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Li Qingxue¡¯s face was already red and purple.

    Although she tried her best to maintain the image of a smile, that face was actually uglier than crying in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m stunned. Although I don¡¯t understand a word Xia Wanyuan said, it¡¯s so interesting. It feels like I¡¯m listening to a story. ]

    [That diplomat from Ennd¡¯s face is about to turn green. Hahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. Who told her to act cool? Now, she¡¯s acting in front of the god.]

    [ I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s curious about how does Xia Wanyuan know so much? She seems to be talking very easily, but she should have to know everything about Ennd very well before she can say it, right? ]

    Not only were theizens a little stunned, but so were the people present.

    In front of real things, any falsehood was useless.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made everyone feel her mountain-like knowledge storage. The culture contained in her every move was really not something ordinary people couldpare to.

    Xia Wanyuan was in the limelight, and the others were eager to try.

    Hence, in the following time, Li Qingxue continued to bring everyone to tour the exhibition hall. Every time they saw an exhibit, a professor who specialized in this stood up and wanted topete with Xia Wanyuan.

    What surprised everyone was that

    So many experts and schrs, such arge exhibition.

    Speaking of any one of them, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be familiar with them. Even if she did notpletely surpass them, she could at least fight to a draw with the experts.

    After a few hours, almost 30 professors from all walks of life moved out to discuss with Xia Wanyuan. In the end, they were all taken care of by Xia Wanyuan.

    To the others who did not participate in this round-robin debate, this was no different from a battlefield.

    Everyone was a big shot in the industry. A casual mistake could be pointed out, and Xia Wanyuan stood there quietly, never taking a step back.

    Her tone was neither fast nor slow, as if she was always talking to the experts calmly and convincing them with facts and evidence.

    In the end, other than those who were especially narrow-minded and could not tolerate others being more outstanding, most people were very impressed by Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone present admired Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, on the Inte, the Han people were hopping mad, almost scolding Xia Wanyuan to death.

    The live broadcast of the museum was dyed at first.

    Later on, the museum realized that there were too many scenes about Xia Wanyuan that had to be cut after the broadcast was dyed, so they simply turned off the live broadcast and changed it to editing.

    Hence, in the clip released by the museum, there was no scene of Xia Wanyuan arguing with the schrs.

    Only the scenes of those experts seriously exining to Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wanyuan asionally standing up to retort.

    In a certain video, they happened to talk about China.

    Xia Wanyuan poprized the former vassals in China¡¯s history.

    And Han Country was naturally among them.

    Xia Wanyuan even considerately exined China¡¯s cultural period to everyone.

    When China was already at the top of the world, Han Country was still a small area in the north.

    Xia Wanyuan briefly discussed the influence of Chinese culture on the entire country of Han.

    The moment this video was released, it angered theizens of Country Han.

    [ The country of thieves is China!! You were clearly the ones affected by our culture! You stole our movies and television dramas, our clothes, and our pickles. Trash Xia Wanyuan, get out! ]

    [ I¡¯m really speechless. Xia Wanyuan is maliciously smearing our country¡¯s image with private goods. Shameless. I¡¯m so angry. ]

    [ Us being influenced by you. Do you have any shame? Look at that painting. Is Xia Wanyuan used to stealing? That painting was drawn by our Han Country¡¯s painter, okay? ]

    Because Xia Wanyuan was attending an event overseas today, many fans in China had climbed over the wall and registered an ount on the Inte.

    In the end, everyone was angered to death when they saw such an unlucky statement the moment they entered the Inte.

    Some of them stayed to argue with them, while the rest returned to Weibo to get reinforcements.

    Soon, arge number of domesticizens climbed over the wall and acted to protect Xia Wanyuan.

    In the museum.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was surrounded by everyone, Li Qingxue never expected the situation to turn out like this.

    She had spent all her effort to invite those people over because she wanted Xia Wanyuan to embarrass herself in front of the world and ruin her reputation.

    But now??

    So many professors actually spoke to her so amiably. Many people even began to ask Xia Wanyuan if she was willing to visit their school after the event ended.

    Li Qingxue clenched her fists and adjusted her expression as she walked into the crowd. ¡°Miss Xia, have you forgotten something? Didn¡¯t you say that you drew that painting from Country Han? What evidence do you have to prove what you said?¡±

    When Li Qingxue said this, everyone fell silent.

    Xia Wanyuan was talented, but that painting had indeed been verified by many parties. It was an ancient painting from more than a thousand years ago, and it waspletely different from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s style. It did not look like it was from Xia Wanyuan at all.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Danny was tall and burly. Now, with his height advantage, he looked down at Xia Wanyuan with disdain in his eyes.

    To be honest, the first time she saw Danny, although Xia Wanyuan felt that this person was not as amazing as the rumors said, he was still a talented person.

    However, people would always change. They were probably affected by some environment. At this age, they should enjoy life and be respected by the world.

    However, now, in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes, Danny was no longer worthy of his title as a master painter.

    Xia Wanyuan met Danny¡¯s gaze and looked back.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid Master Danny can¡¯t define if it¡¯s my painting, right?¡±

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, back then, you also wanted to be Master Danny¡¯s disciple. He can be considered half your master. Is your current attitude how you would treat your respected master?¡± Seeing Master Dannye out to argue with Xia Wanyuan, Li Qingxue seemed to have found a backer and immediately leaned towards Master Danny.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly.

    ¡°A person who can cooperate with his disciple to steal someone else¡¯s painting is probably not worthy of being called my teacher. If it were you, would you acknowledge a person who stole your painting as a teacher?¡±

    Back then, Xia Wanyuan had long discovered that the painting had been changed, but Xia Wanyuan had never nned to acknowledge a foreigner as her master, so she did not pursue this matter.

    However, Danny treated her concession as a reason for him to push his luck. Then he could not me Xia Wanyuan for being rude.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words quickly changed the expressions of everyone present.

    Master Danny was so glorious in the international painting industry, but now, he was pointed at the nose and called a thief. At this moment, Danny¡¯s face was already red with anger.

    ¡°You!¡± In his anger, Danny even pointed at Xia Wanyuan, his arms trembling.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him and retracted her gaze, then exined to everyone.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give everyone an exnation for the truth of this matterter. Let¡¯s not discuss this now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable credibility. She said not to discuss this anymore, and everyone subconsciously followed her thoughts and stopped discussing.

    However, Danny was flustered by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden words.

    Sensing everyone¡¯s secretly sizing him up, Danny was even more depressed. Everyone had already continued to walk into the exhibition hall, but Danny was still standing on the spot, trembling with anger.

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the side and watched the show without any psychological burden. ncing at Danny¡¯s flushed face, Xia Wanyuan shook her head gently.

    After internal discussion in the museum, it was decided that the museum would release the real painting today for everyone to admire and study.

    The most important thing was topare with Xia Wanyuan and see whose hand this painting came from.

    The staff carried the painting out of the ss disy cab.

    This was a painting of agriculture, but the entire style was very different from the styles of various painters in Chinese history. That was why the museum determined that it belonged to a painting of a Han Country painter.

    Although the entire painting was drawn of working in the countryside, the strokes were magnanimous. It was enough to prove that the painter must be a broad-minded person who cared about the world.

    Under his pen, theseborers seemed to have transformed into diligent representatives. Every move was filled with strength.

    Everyone surrounded this painting and admired it carefully. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that the person who could draw this painting must be an indomitable man.

    ¡°The artistic conception of this painting is too open. It vividly depicts the entire farming scene. Every detail is showing everyone the joy of spring plowing.¡±

    ¡°Indeed, this painter¡¯s skills are quite superb. Every move is filled with strength. He¡¯s too amazing.¡±

    Everyone eximed as they watched.

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the side and looked at the painting in front of her. It was as if she had returned to her previous life.

    This painting was drawn in the first year of the Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s restoration.

    At that time, they had just recovered their country and had a lot of things to do.

    Coincidentally, it was the spring plowing season. She led the civil and military officials to the countryside in the suburbs and sowed the first wave of seeds that year with the farmers.

    At that time, it was time to restore the country and the weather was good that day. Looking at the vast rivers and mountains in front of him and the hardworking people,

    Xia Wanyuan stood on the field and felt the aura of life. The boldness that came from the world immediately made her have the urge to draw.

    Hence, she got her subordinates to move the table to the field.

    With the beautiful rivers and mountains in front of her, Xia Wanyuan drew this painting of ¡°Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains¡±.

    However, she did not sign or name the painting at that time, so there was no information that could prove the time and ce on the painting in front of her.

    After the Ennd Museum obtained this painting, they named it ¡°Spring Plow¡± ording to the content of the entire painting. Actually, the meaning waspletely different from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s original intention for painting.

    Listening to the experts¡¯ endless discussion, Li Qingxue, who was about to break down, finally had some confidence.

    She looked at Xia Wanyuan mockingly. ¡°Please, Mrs. Jun. Didn¡¯t you say that this painting is your own? Then give us evidence and let everyone see. What right do you have to say that?¡±

    Facing Li Qingxue¡¯s provocation, Xia Wanyuan did not panic at all. She looked at the experts in front of her.

    ¡°Let me ask everyone first. Do you think the personal style of this painting is clear? If we talk about imitation, can we imitate the charm?¡±

    Everyone quickly shook their heads. Professor Charles stood up and expressed his opinion.

    ¡°Logically speaking, a painting can reach the level of pretending to be real, but even Western oil paintings can¡¯t do this, let alone a series ofndscape paintings with meaning as the core. Even if it can be simr, the spirit might not be simr.¡±

    Everyone echoed.

    ¡°I agree. The brush strokes of this painting are talkative. If you want to copy it, with all due respect, no one can do it.¡±

    ¡°Besides, there are many ces in this painting that we can¡¯t exin with many painting methods we know now. It must have been lost.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± After hearing everyone¡¯s answer, Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t you all want to know why I said that I drew this painting?¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Professor Charles could not believe it himself. He was actually looking forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer, although he did not know where this anticipation came from.

    ¡°If I draw an identical painting on the spot, won¡¯t you know if it¡¯s mine?¡± Xia Wanyuan said quietly.

    Everyone discussed.?<i>This was a good idea.?</i>

    Li Qingxue could not wait to see Xia Wanyuan fail. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re really confident in your painting skills.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored Li Qingxue and looked at Lu Li beside her. ¡°Go and get the bag in the car.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded and quickly ran out.

    Soon, she walked in with a big bag.

    When Xia Wanyuan took out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone one by one from her big bag, Lu Li finally understood what Xia Wanyuan had brought out this morning.

    Everyone stood quietly at the side, wanting to see if Xia Wanyuan could do it.

    At this moment, in the global live-stream, the live-stream signal that had been interrupted for an unknown period of time was connected again.

    [F*ck, is there something wrong with this stupid live-stream?? It stopped broadcasting for a few hours, and now it¡¯s connected again?? Are they ying with us like monkeys?]

    [ What is Xia Wanyuan doing? Drawing? Could it be that she wants to copy that ancient painting to prove that it¡¯s hers? This method is too trashy. ]

    [The person in front, as a painting student, I want to say that you underestimated that ancient painting that can be ced in Ennd¡¯s museum. It¡¯s impossible for that painting to bepletely copied.]

    The live-stream was filled with discussions, and the museum was silent.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had begun to draw.

    She did not care how many people were around her. Anyway, as long as she calmed down and did things, others could not affect her.

    The brushnded on the paper.

    Xia Wanyuan immersed herself in that scene back then.

    The cries of insects and birds filled her ears. Her face was illuminated by the warm spring sunlight, and there was the smell of soil being renovated in the air.

    Not far away, the farmers were driving the old bull and nting seeds in the ground. The seeds were scattered into the ground. After a spring rain, they would grow into arge green seedling of hope.

    Other than the scene in front of her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart also formed a scene.

    She thought of the wars in the past ten years, of herrades who had sacrificed themselves, and of the joy of finally being able to restore the country after all the bloodshed.

    At this moment, she was stepping on her country and her country was in her heart.

    The white clouds stretched out in the sky, and the sunlight above her head was dazzling. The entire world seemed to be in her control.

    At this moment, the emotions in her chest surged out and gathered at the tip of the brush.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was no longer painting a spring plow. She was only using this pen to describe the endless hope in her heart when she participated in the spring plowing after returning to the country.

    Everyone stood beside Xia Wanyuan. From the initial doubts, to the end,

    They watched as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s brush danced on the paper, watched as she slowly dyed the scene of spring plowing with vitality, and watched as she used all sorts of unheard-of painting methods to recklessly render the paper.

    Everyone fell silent.

    Before the painting was done, these industry insiders had already seen through it.

    That aura and spirit were really replicated by Xia Wanyuan.

    Li Qingxue stood at the side and watched Xia Wanyuan draw. Sensing the change in everyone¡¯s expressions, she panicked a little, so she pulled the sleeve of the person beside her.

    ¡°Professor, what do you think of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting?¡±

    The professor from Cambridge University had already turned white. He stroked hispletely white beard. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect China to have such a powerful young woman. She¡¯s right. This painting dide from her.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Li Qingxue could not suppress the excitement in her heart and eximed softly.

    The sudden appearance of this voice in the quiet venue attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with condemnation, as if they were ming Li Qingxue for breaking this perfect atmosphere.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s expression was already extremely ugly.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan calmly painting, Li Qingxue could not tell what she was feeling.

    She had always looked down on Xia Wanyuan and felt that Xia Wanyuan had only had such a smooth journey because of Jun Shiling¡¯s support.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s performance today made her begin to doubt Lady York¡¯s words.

    <i>Was Xia Wanyuan really a small celebrity who had never seen the world?? How could a small celebrity make so many professors praise her??</i>

    Just as Li Qingxue was letting her imagination run wild, Xia Wanyuan had already ced thest stroke.

    Everyone was about to go forward and admire it carefully when Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and wrote the name of the painting.

    ¡°Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains¡±,

    Seeing this name, everyone was a little stunned, but now, everyone could tell that the painting in the exhibition hall was also Xia Wanyuan¡¯s own painting. She could choose any name she wanted.

    ¡°Miss Xia, is the original name of this painting called ¡®Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains¡¯?¡±

    Professor Charles was too curious and finally could not help but ask this question.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±

    Charles asked curiously for the reason, and Xia Wanyuan exined the scene of this painting to him.

    Of course, Xia Wanyuan did not reveal her information. She only said that at that time, the spring nting scene reminded her of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which was why this painting existed.

    Charles pondered for a while, then looked at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting. The more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. This meant that he realized that Xia Wanyuan was really right.

    The ¡°Spring Plough¡± they had originally chosen was indeed too petty, and it was very different from the artistic conception of the painting itself. After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nomination, the entire scene was vast enough.

    ¡°That¡¯s amazing.¡± Charles was no longer looking at Xia Wanyuan with hostility. He had even enthusiastically invited Xia Wanyuan to visit Cambridge University, but she had rejected him.

    The museum originally thought that they would win for sure, but at this moment, they had to admit that they had mistaken the information of the painting.

    This painting indeed belonged to Xia Wanyuan.

    The staff came over and whispered a few words to Li Qingxue. Although Li Qingxue looked unhappy, she still suppressed a smile and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, thank you for helping our museum prove the real owner of the painting. If you don¡¯t mind, our museum hopes to keep your painting permanently. Is that okay?¡±

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Xia Wanyuan rejected her.

    Li Qingxue gritted her teeth. ¡°Miss Xia, please reconsider. This is Ennd¡¯s museum. To be able to collect the works of a living painter is an absolute affirmation of the painter.¡±

    After all, everything in Ennd¡¯s museum was a world treasure. Few people in the world could have such treatment if their works were still hidden here when they were alive.

    Xia Wanyuan had wanted to bring both paintings back.

    However, at this moment, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had been standing at the side without speaking, suddenly gave Xia Wanyuan a look.

    Xia Wanyuan understood what he meant and retreated slightly to the side, giving up her seat.

    The deputy minister walked forward and extended his hand to Li Qingxue. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the deputy minister of foreign affairs of China.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Li Qingxue did not understand.<i>?I only wanted a painting. Why did this Deputy Head jump out now?</i>

    ¡°If we¡¯re willing to leave one of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings here, that can be considered a cultural exchange between China and the West, right?¡± The deputy head looked very kind. When he spoke, he was smiling, making people not guard against him.

    Li Qingxue nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Then we¡¯ll take out one of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings as an exchange. I wonder what the British Museum is willing to take out for our Forbidden City¡¯s museum to safeguard?¡±

    Li Qingxue wanted to scold the Deputy Head for being shameless.?<i>This was no different from snatching things openly.</i>

    However, at this moment, the Deputy Head represented China. Now that she was standing here, she represented Ennd.

    Now, she had to carefully consider everything she said.

    Just as Li Qingxue was hesitating about what to say, the Deputy Head continued to circle around her.

    ¡°Look, it¡¯s like this¡­¡±

    The Deputy Head began with the rtionship between China and Ennd, then talked about how Ennd had taken many things from China back then, and the need for cultural exchange between the two sides.

    During this period, every time the Deputy Head spoke, he would ask Li Qingxue, ¡°Don¡¯t you think so??¡±

    Li Qingxue would nod. ¡°Yes.¡±

    In the end, the Deputy Head went around in circles, and Li Qingxue¡¯s thoughts were a little confused.

    ¡°Since our China has something here, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to give us one and let us take it back to study our ancestor¡¯s things, right?¡±

    Li Qingxue subconsciously replied, ¡°Yes.¡±

    However, she quickly reacted.

    However, under such circumstances, no matter what they said, it was the final decision. How could it be changed?

    Li Qingxue¡¯s back broke out in cold sweat.

    <i>What did I just say?!</i>

    The Deputy Head smiled. ¡°Ennd is indeed a big country. They¡¯re really magnanimous. We¡¯re not picky. What do you think you¡¯re willing to give us to bring back?¡±

    Li Qingxue could not even maintain the smile on her face. She looked at the deputy head and finally knew what a smiling tiger was. ¡°We still have to discuss this with the museum before deciding.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The deputy head was still smiling. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. We¡¯ll leave Ennd tomorrow. Just discuss it before that.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Li Qingxue smiled insincerely.?<i>You make it sound like you¡¯re magnanimous.?</i>

    The deputy minister did not care what the Ennd Museum would give them back, mainly because the Ennd Museum was basically disying treasures that Ennd had snatched from China back then.

    There were too many precious things in China. Those that could be brought back to Ennd were the best of the best.

    Every item in this museum from China was a national treasure. Any one of them would be profitable.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s back was already drenched in cold sweat.

    At this moment, she could not spare any thoughts to pester Xia Wanyuan and the rest, so the atmosphere in the venue was a little awkward.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan stood up. ¡°We¡¯ve seen this exhibition hall. Let¡¯s go to the side and take a look? Professor Charles, I heard that you¡¯re very familiar with the exhibition hall beside us. Can you bring me to take a look?¡±

    ¡°With pleasure.¡±

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s invitation, most of the experts followed her.

    Xia Wanyuan was knowledgeable in studying and dabbled in all aspects. Although she knew a lot, she was still very humble in areas she did not understand. The experts were happy to chat with her.

    Li Qingxue stood behind and watched them leave.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was no longer ostracized by everyone like a few hours ago. On the contrary, she had be the focus of everyone. Everyone surrounded her, fighting to speak to her.

    <i>How did things be like this??</i>

    Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred. Just as she was puzzled,

    Suddenly, she thought of something. Her eyes widened and her expression changed. ¡°Oh no!!¡±

    Li Qingxue hurriedly called the live-stream control room. After exining the situation, she heard the answer on the other end and muttered, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    The media in Ennd had always liked to bring private goods when reporting about China, such as the most famous CBB television station.

    The various reports of this television station on China were called underworld reports by the Chineseizens.

    Any China that appeared in its scene, no matter how morous it was, would be filmed until they were dizzy. Furthermore, the angle of filming would be chosen as if these people were very oppressive.

    CBB TV Station was even better at adding all sorts of gray filters. Even the blue sky with the bright sun and white clouds in China would be adjusted to a dim yellow state.

    It was precisely because they knew CBB¡¯s internal attitude towards China and their contrasting methods that the museum had specially invited CBB TV for this live broadcast.

    ording to the initial requirements,

    CBB TV was in charge of broadcasting. If it involved something beneficial to Ennd¡¯s image, they would show it on the screen for a while more. If it involved something beneficial to China¡¯s image, they would directly eliminate it.

    Furthermore, this television station was editing the video and posting it online.

    Thetest post that caused widespread controversy was a video about the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of China.

    In the video, the Deputy Head arrogantly asked the Ennd Museum for something. Li Qingxue looked pitiful under his contrast.

    [F*ck, is this old man crazy? How can he bully a girl like this? Is he poisonous?]

    [Do you have any shame?? Did China fail to steal the painting and change it to daylight robbery? They even asked the Ennd Museum to give them a painting. They¡¯re really shameless.]

    [ Can I ask what the final oue is? The live-stream is so jammed that I can¡¯t see it at all. Until now, there¡¯s still no confirmation. Is that painting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s??? ]

    Now, the official media of Ennd was silent about what had happened in the museum.

    In the current information world, there was a deviation in information acquisition.

    As long as the media did not send some news to theizens, theizens would slowly forget about this matter in most cases.

    Now, the British Museum hoped to deal with this matter coldly.

    Anyway, it was just a live broadcast. When everyone woke up and had more interesting topics, who would pay attention to the final oue of this painting?

    However, there was a group of people who did not want to be dealt with coldly.

    That was theizens of Country Han.

    In their opinion, Xia Wanyuan was rich, so she used money to shut the media up and stop them from reporting this matter.

    They angrily wanted justice from Ennd¡¯s museum.

    [ @ Ennd Museum,e out and give an exnation. Why can¡¯t I watch the live-stream? Now, you don¡¯t even announce the results. Have you been bribed by Xia Wanyuan?! Is China¡¯s money so good? ]

    [I¡¯m speechless. The Chinese are already so arrogant in the Ennd Museum, but the Ennd Museum is still so protective of them and even helped them hide the truth. Is that painting from our Country Han?]

    [If the museum doesn¡¯t clear our Han painter¡¯s name for a day, I won¡¯t leave thements section of your official ount for a day. Wait for me to scold you to death!!]

    At first, only a small number ofizens from Country Han were scolding. However, as time passed, the Ennd Museum did not respond.

    In the end, arge number of Country Hanizens rose up. Countless people lined up to make harassment calls to the Ennd Museum.

    ording to their habit of scolding people online in the past, they even photoshopped photos of the curator of Ennd¡¯s museum and all sorts of photos of him kneeling to the Chinese.

    When the news spread to Ennd¡¯s museum, the curator was also angry.

    He mmed the table. ¡°Since they want the truth, give them the truth!! Send theplete video to me!!¡±

    The reason why the curator could make up his mind to give this order was because the actions of theizens of Country Han were too infuriating.

    On the other hand, he had just received a letter from the Cape family. As the head of the Cape family, An Lin stomped his feet, and Continent O would tremble. He said that he wanted to give Xia Wanyuan face, and the museum had to consider the weight of his words.

    Hence, when theizens of Country Han started all sorts of topics and asked the museum to apologize, the official ount of the museum suddenly updated a video.

    ¡°Thank you very much, Miss Xia Wanyuan, for bringing us an exciting painting performance. Our museum is also very happy to ept Miss Xia¡¯s work.¡±

    In the video, it was theplete process of Xia Wanyuan painting ¡°Mountains and Rivers¡±.

    At the back of the video was aparison exnation between Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting and the painting in the museum.

    Even an idiot in painting and calligraphy could discover that the two were actually the same under those high microscopes.

    The Chineseizens, who had been silently enduring the insults of the Han people, finally felt proud. For a moment, they appeared from all sorts of corners.

    [Come,e,e. Where¡¯s the person who just said that he wanted the Ennd Museum to give you Han people an exnation? Step forward and take two steps. You¡¯re the shameless ones, right? You stole our clothes andmps, but it¡¯s not enough. Now, you¡¯re still thinking about our ancient painting.]

    [Hahaha, I¡¯m dying ofughter. Is this the legendary asking for a hammer?!! Han Country people, scold me a little more. Maybe something more surprising will be released.]

    [ Aiyaya, why am I so happy to see the Han people unlucky? It¡¯s fine as long as Xia Wanyuan is awesome. Her painting skills simply amazed me, a professional painter. When can I have her hand speed! ]

    Theizens of Country Han who had been indignant on the Inte just now had disappeared without a trace.

    However, this situation did notst long because they had found another point to attack Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t the British Museum buy fake paintings because your China likes to fake them? What¡¯s there to be smug about? What¡¯s the use of painting no matter how good it is? Master Danny has such a bad character. As a top master in the industry, how can Xia Wanyuan speak to him like this?¡±

    The video of Xia Wanyuan saying that Master Danny was an aplice to the thief began to circte on the Inte.

    Master Danny¡¯s status in the world of painting was quite high. Furthermore, he had the Danny family behind him. All his friends were big shots, and his disciples were all over the world.

    Seeing that their good friend and teacher had been pointed at and scolded, many people stood up to support Master Danny.

    However, this time, before everyone could start scolding Xia Wanyuan,

    Xia Wanyuan had already released aplete chain of evidence with her ount.

    The evidence chain included the painting that Xia Wanyuan had drawn back then, the confession of the witness in charge of changing the painting, and some originally destroyed videos.

    It told everyone clearly.

    Back then, Li Na could win the Gold Award and be Master Danny¡¯s disciple purely because she had found someone to swap her and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting.

    And Xia Wanyuan should be the real winner of the Gold Award.

    Not only did Master Danny tacitly agree to Li Na¡¯s fake actions, but he even chose to protect her after knowing the truth.

    Looking at the detailed evidence, everyone was silent. No one had expected Master Danny to really do such a thing.

    [ I think Xia Wanyuan is still to me for this matter. If she was really outstanding, how could Master Danny not want her? Perhaps Master Danny knew that her character was not good, so he deliberately took advantage of the situation and was unwilling to ept her. ]

    [ The person in front, is your mouth used to shit?? The crime theory of the victim is really disgusting. Xia Wanyuan is the person whose painting was stolen. Don¡¯t you know how much Li Na benefited from the gold award of that paintingpetition? ]

    [I¡¯m so speechless. So such a powerful master is actually nothing much. He actually allowed his disciples to steal other people¡¯s works. Tsk, tsk, tsk.]

    The Inte was filled with controversy, but the museum was harmonious.

    In the exchange, Xia Wanyuan had really conquered many experts. Everyone was happy to make friends with her.

    When Xia Wanyuan left the museum with the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she was surrounded by a group of people.

    ¡°Wanyuan, contact us more in the future.¡±

    ¡°If you have the chance toe to Ennd next time, I¡¯ll bring you to try the wine I mentioned.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1264: CEO Jun ps the Little Green Tea</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The Deputy Head looked out. In the car in front, Jun Shiling had already gotten out of the car and was walking over.

    The deputy minister chuckled and nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Go, go. Young people can¡¯t be separated for a moment. I understand.¡±

    Under everyone¡¯s teasing gazes, Xia Wanyuan got out of the car.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling strode over and hugged her waist. ¡°Are you tired?¡±

    Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze had been on her stomach, Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°So you¡¯re afraid of exhausting the baby in my stomach.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan helplessly. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. Seeing Jun Shiling, it was obvious that she was in a good mood. ¡°Just go to the hotel and wait for me. Why did youe and pick me up?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into the car and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Why don¡¯t you know? You already know the answer.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°How¡¯s the matter in America?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not bad. Everything is more smooth. I¡¯lle and apany you. When you go to Continent F, I can apany you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Although Xia Wanyuan had never troubled Jun Shiling when he had something on, it would naturally be for the best if Jun Shiling could apany her.

    Jun Shiling rushed all the way back to the hotel. He took a shower and changed his clothes before walking to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was reading a document when she heard footsteps. Jun Shiling leaned over and exchanged a mint-vored kiss with her.

    However, just as Jun Shiling poked in, there was a knock on the door. Jun Shiling frowned and was very unhappy. He wanted to ignore the person knocking.

    However, he kept knocking, scattering the good atmosphere.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Quick, open the door.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling gently pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin. ¡°Don¡¯t think you dodged a bullet. Wait and see.¡±

    ¡°Go quickly.¡± The knocking on the door did not stop. Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling before he turned around.

    The door opened and there were a few men in ck suits outside.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Jun. We were sent by Mr. York. Our Earl wants to invite you and Madam to the York family¡¯s castle for dinner.¡±

    Hearing that it was Mr. York, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Thank your Earl for the good intentions. I¡¯m not going.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling closed the door.

    Outside the door, the few men in ck looked at each other.?<i>It was impossible for Jun Shiling not to know the status of the York family in Ennd, right? Why did he reject our earl so directly??</i>

    They were about to knock again when the secret guard stood up. ¡°Our CEO Jun has already rejected him. Please respect yourself.¡±

    Looking at their brother¡¯s armed secret guards, the men in ck did not dare to go forward in the end and left.

    ¡°Who?¡± Seeing that Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was not good, Xia Wanyuan asked.

    ¡°Mr. York.¡± Jun Shiling did not have a good impression of Lady York, and he did not even treat the York family well.

    Furthermore, ording to the information he had, this York family had been secretly colluding with some families in China.

    They were not from their camp to begin with, so Jun Shiling could not be bothered to waste time talking to them.

    Xia Wanyuan yawned and stretched. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired.¡±

    Jun Shiling hurriedly went forward to support Xia Wanyuan and carried her back to the bed. He took a towel and washed her face. ¡°Sleep first. I¡¯m going out to do something.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan snuggled under the nket. ¡°Wake me up when you¡¯re back.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Shiling walked out of the room. Lin Jing had been waiting outside for a long time.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Young Master An has been waiting for you for a long time.¡±

    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Shiling looked back before turning to leave.

    Half an hourter, Jun Shiling¡¯s car stopped in a very hidden hospital outside Ennd.

    The environment here was extremely ustrophobic. If not for the vaguely immortal roof and some people in white coats shuttling through the courtyard,

    No one would have thought that there was actually a hospital hidden in this ce.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Someone was already greeting him at the entrance of the hospital. Seeing Jun Shiling, the person who weed him bowed respectfully.

    ¡°Lead the way.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Jun Shiling was brought to the innermost ward of the hospital. The door was pushed open and Jun Shiling walked in.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± The man in the hospital gown lying on the bed was the young master of the Cape family, An Lin.

    At this moment, he was not as high-spirited as a few months ago. Instead, he was wearing a hospital gown. Although he was still handsome, he looked a little sick.

    ¡°Young Master An.¡± Jun Shiling walked over. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    An Lin smiled bitterly. ¡°Not bad. I won¡¯t die. An Luo hasn¡¯tpletely controlled the entire Cape family. How would I dare to die?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

    ¡°At this point, Young Master An, are you still unwilling to say who made you like this?¡±

    An Lin shook his head. ¡°CEO Jun, if I could say it, I would tell you, but I can¡¯t now.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll help An Luo, but what happens in the future will depend on him.¡± Jun Shiling had interacted with An Lin for a while and naturally knew that there was no room to change what he had decided, so he did not ask further.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± An Lin reached out and handed a document box beside him to Jun Shiling. ¡°This is for you. As long as you can help An Luopletely control the Cape family, I¡¯ll leave the things inside to you.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out to take it and opened it. ¡°Okay.¡±

    After saying that, Jun Shiling and An Lin chatted briefly before leaving the ward.

    The ward returned to silence.

    At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. An Lin picked up his phone and looked at it before answering the call.

    ¡°Brother.¡± An Luo¡¯s dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°When will you be back? You¡¯ve been out for a month on this business trip.¡±

    Although An Lin was usually busy, no matter how busy he was, he still had time to meet An Luo and have a meal. However, An Luo had not seen An Lin for more than a month.

    ¡°There¡¯s something wrong here, so it¡¯s not good to leave. Be good and listen to Teacher. Didn¡¯t you say that you had to study hard?¡± An Lin¡¯s voice was as gentle as ever as he patiently coaxed An Luo.

    ¡°But Brother, I miss you.¡± An Luo sounded very unhappy. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten with me in a long time. I haven¡¯t been eating happily recently. I¡¯ve already lost three pounds.¡±

    In the past, when the two brothers were in exile, An Luo often starved with An Lin and had no food. Hence, he was especially thin at that time.

    An Lin felt very guilty about this. Hence, after he took charge of the Cape family, he had a lot of money. What he was most worried about was An Luo¡¯s food.

    Under An Lin¡¯s meticulous arrangements, An Luo finally went from being a malnourished shortie to such a likable and pampered appearance.

    Now that he heard An Luo say that he had lost weight, An Lin felt very ufortable.

    ¡°Brother, can youe back early? I¡¯ve been studying hard recently. I¡¯m very obedient. The teachers praised me. I promise I won¡¯t make you angry in the future,¡± An Luo said with a sobbing tone.

    An Lin gritted his teeth. ¡°You¡¯re already a man. Why are you crying?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± An Luo¡¯s sobbing became even more serious. ¡°Come back early.¡±

    ¡°Mm, got it.¡± An Lin pursed his lips and finally found an excuse to hang up.

    Looking at An Luo¡¯s photo on the phone, An Lin subconsciously sighed.

    On the other hand, in the castle, An Luo hung up the phone. The butler stood carefully at the side. ¡°Young Master, look, I didn¡¯t lie to you, right? Young Master is really busy.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± An Luo replied calmly. ¡°You guys go down first. I¡¯ll eat.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing that An Luo was willing to cooperate, the butler gestured for everyone to leave. He sighed in his heart.?<i>In the end, only Young Master could treat An Luo.</i>

    After everyone left the room, An Luo¡¯s expressionless face suddenly began to reveal extreme panic and helplessness.

    He knew that something had happened to An Lin, but he did not dare to ask. He could only pretend that nothing had happened.

    Because he knew that the Cape family was An Lin¡¯s hard work.

    Now that something had happened to An Lin, the focus of the entire family was on him, An Luo. Once anything happened to him, the remaining old subordinates would immediately pounce on him and destroy the kingdom that An Lin had painstakingly built.

    After some time, An Luo finally opened the door. His beautiful blue eyes seemed to have been washed by the rain and were even clearer.

    However, looking at the current An Luo, the butler felt that something was different. He clearly had the same appearance, but the butler had a feeling.

    That was, the current An Luo was actually starting to look simr to An Lin in some ces.

    When Jun Shiling returned to the hotel, he met a group of people before he entered.

    ¡°Xiao Ling.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling, Lady York stopped him. ¡°Why are you in Ennd?¡±

    Madam York was still Jun Shiling¡¯s grandmother in name. Due to Old Master Jun, Jun Shiling still stopped in his tracks. ¡°Madam York.¡±

    ¡°Child, what¡¯s wrong? Are you distant from me?¡± Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s address, Madam York was a little unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m your grandfather¡¯s biological sister.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re from Ennd, so you should know thews of Ennd better than me. You¡¯re already a citizen of Ennd, so you shouldn¡¯t be rted to us anymore,¡± Jun Shiling said calmly.

    Madam York gritted her teeth, but with so many people surrounding her, she had to maintain etiquette. She forced a smile and pulled Li Qingxue over. ¡°Qingxue, look, this is CEO Jun. The two of you are quite fated. Didn¡¯t you meet again?¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling, Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes lit up.

    There was a kind of man who, no matter how long it had been since he had seen him, could not help but be tempted by him when he saw him again.

    Jun Shiling was such a person.

    Li Qingxue looked at Jun Shiling in obsession.

    This man was the man she had liked since she was a freshman.

    It had been almost seven years.

    However, when she thought of how such a man was actually Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband and how he doted on her, Li Qingxue felt even more indignant.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m now a staff member of Ennd¡¯s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you have anything¡­¡±

    ¡°Even if I have something on, it¡¯s not your ce to arrange my matters.¡± Jun Shiling nced at her calmly, his tone cold.

    Li Qingxue was stunned by Jun Shiling¡¯s words.

    Jun Shiling was right. At her level, she was not enough to arrange Jun Shiling¡¯s matters. However, she had only casually found an excuse to get closer to Jun Shiling. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would be so merciless?

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Li Qingxue wanted to say something, but Jun Shiling had already left.

    Li Qingxue took a step forward and wanted to chase after him, but Madam York pulled her back.

    ¡°Men like to y hard to get. If you rush like this, he¡¯ll feel that it¡¯s not challenging.¡±

    Li Qingxue retracted her gaze and her eyes changed.

    Not far away, CBB¡¯s television station was holding a camera and filming them.

    With the museum¡¯s video as a basis, theizens gradually restored the real situation of what had happened in the museum.

    This also caused the videos taken by CBB to be a joke in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    The reporters of CBB were also ordinary people with all sorts of dark emotions.

    They med the source of all the mockery on Xia Wanyuan.

    They felt that if not for Xia Wanyuan being calctive and insisting onpeting with the museum, CBB¡¯s television station¡¯s reputation would not have fallen to this extent.

    Hence, ever since Xia Wanyuan left the museum, many CBB reporters had secretly followed her to the hotel, wanting to film some dirt on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily life.

    With this squat, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scandal did note out, but Jun Shiling¡¯s did.

    A scene could have different meanings from different angles.

    The position where Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue were standing was more subtle. The reporters of CBB found many tricky angles and took their photos with a different atmosphere.

    Soon, photos of Li Qingxue and Jun Shiling began to circte on the Inte.

    In the photo, Jun Shiling looked down at Li Qingxue. Li Qingxue looked up with a smile on her face, and her eyes could not hide the love in them.

    [ It¡¯s a littlepatible. I suddenly feel that isn¡¯t Ennd and China interested in working together recently? It¡¯s actually not bad to have a marriage between the two countries. ]

    [Li Qingxue seems to have a little Chinese blood in her. She¡¯s also from the Dray family herself. If she gets together with Jun Shiling, this will strengthen her.]

    [You seem to be seriously ill? Don¡¯t let all the cats and dogse and rub against our CEO Jun.]

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The rumors that had just begun to sprout were immediately extinguished by Jun Shiling.

    To industry insiders, the news of the news channel being bought out had spread in the industry.

    Many people began to discuss online that what Jun Shiling had done this time was too disrespectful to Li Qingxue.

    ¡°Theizens were just saying it casually¡­ Jun Shiling is making a fuss over nothing. It¡¯s as if being involved with Li Qingxue is something that makes him ufortable. Is there a need to make such a fuss? He bought so many headlines. I¡¯m speechless.¡±

    [ Didn¡¯t Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan win everyone¡¯s favor in China by showing off their love? It¡¯s very normal. They¡¯re businessmen. It looks like they¡¯re showing off their love. In fact, look at the shares of the Jun Corporation. They simply rose. Jun Shiling is still amazing. ]

    [ There¡¯s really something wrong with your brains. Why can¡¯t you make a fuss? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed to drag a married man with another woman? Now, you¡¯re ming him for making a fuss? ]

    [I can¡¯t stand your worldview anymore. So there¡¯s so much trash on the externalwork. I¡¯ve seen it for myself. I hope your future lovers will be paired with others every day.]

    Because of this matter, the Inte was in an uproar again.

    In the hotel, Xia Wanyuan woke up and saw the scandal between Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue.

    She put her phone aside. At that moment, Jun Shiling came in with a bowl of food.

    He sat by the bed and was about to feed Xia Wanyuan when his gaze casually swept across the news on his phone screen.

    Jun Shiling panicked and hurriedly exined, ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to rify.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very calm. ¡°I know, but that Li Qingxue is deeply in love with you.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly. ¡°Why are you mentioning her? You clearly know that I don¡¯t care about her at all.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. ¡°CEO Jun is very charming. I understand.¡±

    Jun Shiling put the bowl aside. ¡°Are you looking for trouble after sleeping enough?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved slightly. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then don¡¯t eat first,¡± Jun Shiling said and reached out to turn off the light.

    The room darkened. Xia Wanyuan reached out to grab Jun Shiling. ¡°Why did you turn off the light?¡±

    The next second, Jun Shiling crawled into the nket with a smile in his tone. ¡°What do you think?¡±

    ¡°¡­..¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan ate dinner again, it was midnight.

    As Xia Wanyuan was fed by Jun Shiling, she red at him angrily.

    Jun Shiling epted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anger withoutint. ¡°When are you leaving?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°Tomorrow, but that might not be the case. It still depends on the Deputy Head¡¯s arrangements. I¡¯ll go with them.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    Just as the two of them were talking, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown call.

    Jun Shiling took the phone and pressed the answer button.

    Xia Yu¡¯s voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°Brother-inw, are you with my sister?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling said as he handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone and asked.

    ¡°Sister, I have something to tell you.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s voice sounded a little heavy.

    ¡°Mm, tell me.¡± Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s voice, Xia Wanyuan frowned inexplicably.

    ¡°I¡¯m already married to Lin Yi here.¡± Xia Yu was silent for a moment before finally saying to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. She had thought that Xia Yu and Lin Yi might be together, but she had not expected it to be so soon.

    Furthermore, marriage should be a happy thing, but from Xia Yu¡¯s tone, he did not seem happy.

    Xia Wanyuan was worried that something had happened, but Xia Yu seemed to be very busy. ¡°Sister, I have something on. I¡¯ll go and get busy first. I¡¯ll tell you when I return to China next time.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, she clearly heard good news, but for some reason, Xia Wanyuan could not hide her worry.

    Jun Shiling had also heard Xia Yu¡¯s words. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was starting to worry, he reached out to smooth her frown. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get someone to investigate what happened.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the endless desert of Continent F, some people were celebrating the wedding of the newlyweds around a bonfire.

    In the Beijing Hotel in China, guests gathered and colorful gs fluttered.

    There was also a wedding here.

    It was Lin Qingdai and Jiang Yun¡¯s wedding.

    Jiang Yun was still dressing up in the Jiang family. Usually, Jiang Yun was dressed in a suit. Today, Jiang Yun was wearing a white wedding dress, which was rare, making her exquisite facial features look even more beautiful.

    Even the stylist who put on makeup for Jiang Yun could not help but praise her for looking good.

    Looking at herself in the mirror, Jiang Yun continued to sigh.

    In the past year since she returned to China, too many things had happened. Many things that she had thought she could control had now be bubbles.

    ¡°Miss, the new son-inw is already waiting outside to pick you up.¡± Just as Jiang Yun was looking at the mirror in a daze, the butler outside suddenly reminded her.

    ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go over now.¡± Jiang Yun put down her veil and looked at herself in the mirror onest time before walking out.

    Outside the door, Lin Qingdai, who was dressed in a ck suit, was extremely handsome with an obvious joy on his face. Seeing Jiang Yun, Lin Qingdai could not help but take a few steps forward.

    ¡°Miss Jiang.¡±

    Jiang Yun nced at Lin Qingdai. ¡°We¡¯re getting married. You don¡¯t have to be so polite anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The corners of Lin Qingdai¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Ah Yun.¡±

    Jiang Yun ced her hand in Lin Qingdai¡¯s. Lin Qingdai held Jiang Yun¡¯s hand and got into the car. Looking at the beautiful face of the person beside him under the veil, Lin Qingdai did not even blink.

    Even through the veil, Jiang Yun was a little embarrassed by Lin Qingdai¡¯s gaze. It was rare for her to blush, but she actually blushed slightly.

    Seeing the color on Jiang Yun¡¯s face, Lin Qingdai could not help butugh with her.

    ¡°Ah Yun, I¡¯m really too happy today.¡± Lin Qingdai was already prepared to be a chess piece for the rest of his life.

    However, he did not expect that a chess piece like him would have a chance to obtain the person he loved in his life.

    Looking at Lin Qingdai¡¯s firm gaze, Jiang Yun¡¯s heart suddenly became much clearer.

    <i>After today, I am Lin Qingdai¡¯s wife. In the future, I would only have Lin Qingdai in my heart and would not think about anything else.?</i>

    Jiang Yun had always wanted to tell Lin Qingdai these words.

    She knew that Lin Qingdai had always thought that she still liked Xia Yu, so until their wedding, Lin Qingdai still called her Miss Jiang very politely.

    However, looking at Lin Qingdai, who was looking at her, Jiang Yun smiled slightly.

    After the wedding was over, Jiang Yun would hand everything to Lin Qingdai and tell him everything she had just thought through.

    ¡°Are you hungry? There are still many things to doter. I brought you some food. Feed yourself first,¡± Lin Qingdai said as he took out a few biscuits wrapped in sugar wrappers from his expensive suit pocket and handed them to Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Yun took it and felt a warmth in her heart.

    At this moment, the wedding car had already driven to a rtively remote road. This ce was close to the suburbs and was very close to the entrance of the highway.

    The chauffeur carefully investigated the surrounding road conditions. When Jiang Yun and the rest did not notice, he quietly began to elerate.

    Jiang Yun was originally eating biscuits, but after taking two bites, she felt that something was wrong.

    ¡°Stop the car.¡± Jiang Yun looked at the chauffeur in front.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The chauffeur looked back, the elerator still elerating.

    Jiang Yun realized that something was wrong and hurriedly looked at Lin Qingdai. ¡°Jump out of the car.¡±

    However, at this moment, Lin Qingdai¡¯s pupils dted slightly as he looked in the direction of Jiang Yun¡¯s car window.

    In the next second, Lin Qingdai kicked open the car door on his side and pulled Jiang Yun over, pushing her out.

    Then, a huge fuel tanker that rushed over from nowhere collided with the wedding car.

    Jiang Yun was swept by the heat wave and her eyes were filled with dust. She could not see what was happening in front of her.

    There was an explosion and a huge fire in front.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Ennd Hotel, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had finished dinner. After working for a while, they were about to sleep and had justy under the nket.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang as if it was chasing one¡¯s life.

    Jun Shiling picked it up and said a few words. Jun Shiling frowned.

    After Jun Shiling hung up, Xia Wanyuan nced at his expression. ¡°Did something happen?¡±

    ¡°Something happened to the Jiang family. Today is Jiang Yun and Lin Qingdai¡¯s wedding. On the way, there was a car ident.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat up. ¡°Is it done by someone?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling pulled the nket over Xia Wanyuan and covered her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this. Sleep early.¡±

    ¡°Where about the people? Are they okay?¡± Although Xia Wanyuan did not have any other feelings for the Jiang family, her intuition told her that the person behind this must not be as simple as destroying a wedding. There were probably other things hidden behind this.

    ¡°Lin Qingdai is missing.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry about this. Go to sleep. I have something to settle at the side.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan was pregnant and always liked to sleep. She had originally apanied Jun Shiling, but her body did not allow it. Xia Wanyuan already felt her eyelids begin to close.

    Jun Shiling walked to the living room and called Lin Jing.

    After what happened, Lin Jing had already investigated everything and reported to Jun Shiling in detail.

    By the time Jun Shiling returned to the bedroom, an unknown amount of time had passed.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s approach, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously curled up in his direction.

    Jun Shilingy under the nket and ced his hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach, his eyes obscure.

    The next morning, the deputy head and the rest waited at the door.

    They had thought that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling would wake upter because of their absence when they were newly-weds. Unexpectedly, the door opened just as they approached it.

    The deputy head stuck his head out to take a look. ¡°Wanyuan, where¡¯s CEO Jun? He¡¯s not with you?¡±

    ¡°He has a conference call inside. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Knowing that Jun Shiling was in a meeting, the Deputy Head heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was already old, to be honest, he was still a little afraid to see Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t we say yesterday that we were leaving for Continent F today? Now that the n has changed, the royal family of Ennd wants to invite us for dinner. The Queen specially asked me to ask if you¡¯re willing to go?¡±

    ¡°How can I not be willing?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°If you really don¡¯t want to, you don¡¯t have to go. We¡¯ll find you a reason.¡± The Deputy Head treated Xia Wanyuan as his own daughter. As long as Xia Wanyuan was happy, nothing else was a problem.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll go. I¡¯ll go with Jun Shiling.¡± Xia Wanyuan also knew that the queen must be afraid of losing face if she was rejected by the Deputy Head. She did not want to make things difficult for the Deputy Head.

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s meet at the entrance of the pce at five in the afternoon.¡± After informing her about dinner, the deputy minister smiled and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    When Xia Wanyuan returned to the living room, Jun Shiling had already finished his meeting.

    Xia Wanyuan conveyed the Deputy Head¡¯s intentions to Jun Shiling, who had no objections. ¡°I¡¯ll do whatever you want. Go if you want.¡±

    At this moment, in the Dray family, Li Qingxue was sitting beside Earl Dray with a disappointed expression.

    ¡°Good daughter, what¡¯s wrong with you? Who dares to anger my precious daughter?¡±

    Li Qingxue¡¯s mother was a beauty from Jiangnan that Dray had brought back when he was traveling in China.

    Li Qingxue had the gentle temperament of an Oriental woman and the deep facial features of a Westerner. In addition, she had been obedient since she was young and was very liked by Earl Dray.

    ¡°Father, look at what the Inte has said about me.¡± Li Qingxue pretended to cry twice and leaned on Earl Dray¡¯s shoulder, acting coquettishly. ¡°Look.¡±

    Earl Dray took a look. On the phone screen, there were all sorts ofments saying that Li Qingxue was not worthy of Jun Shiling. There were alsoments saying that Li Qingxue could not evenpare to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s toes.

    Earl Dray, this daughter-con, saw thesements and exploded. He immediately pped the table.

    ¡°What are these people saying?!! How can you notpare to Xia Wanyuan? In Father¡¯s opinion, you¡¯re the most outstanding.¡±

    Li Qingxue lowered her head. ¡°But they.¡±

    ¡°Be more confident.¡± Earl Dalei patted Li Qingxue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if they bully you, Father will bully them back for you.¡±

    He was in charge of all sorts of matters in the pce. Tonight, the Queen was going to invite Xia Wanyuan and the rest to the banquet, and many things were handed to him.

    <i>These people had to pay a price for bullying my precious daughter.</i>

    Li Qingxue looked up at Earl Lei. ¡°Father, you¡¯re the best to me.¡±

    ¡°Good girl.¡± Earl Dray¡¯s other children all followed his rough personality. Only Li Qingxue, his daughter, was obedient and liked to act coquettishly.

    Every time Li Qingxue softened her voice and acted coquettishly towards him, he would not have any strength to resist.

    Now that he was filled with thoughts of teaching Xia Wanyuan a lesson for his good daughter, he could not contain anything else.

 Chapter 1266 - Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 1266: Banquet</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Although Xia Wanyuan was still quite popr in China and the Inte, for people like Earl Dray who were not from China and were busy with all sorts of government affairs every day, they had no time to care about what happened on the Inte.

    He was quite unfamiliar with Xia Wanyuan.

    Yet, he was more familiar with Jun Shiling.

    ¡°So, this Xia Wanyuan bullied my precious daughter because she¡¯s Jun Shiling¡¯s wife??¡± This was what Earl Dray understood from Li Qingxue¡¯s exnation.

    Li Qingxue avoided his gaze for a moment, then nodded. ¡°Father, that Xia Wanyuan seems to have a good rtionship with Prince Charlie. She looks down on our Dray family very much.¡±

    There was a serious division in Ennd¡¯s royal family.

    If China was like those royal families in history, when there were a few princes, they would all fight to the death for the throne.

    In the royal family of Ennd, one side was led by Prince Charlie, and the other was led by the second prince, who was supported by the Dray family. Both sides were fighting openly and secretly.

    Now that he heard Li Qingxue mention Prince Charlie, Earl Dray¡¯s impression of Xia Wanyuan worsened. ¡°She¡¯s just a woman who depends on men.¡±

    At this moment, in the pce of Ennd, preparations were being made for the banquet. The servants shuttled back and forth.

    Prince Charlie walked over and everyone hurriedly bowed to him.

    ¡°Alright, I just came to see how the preparations are going.¡± Prince Charlie looked around. ¡°Why is it all British style? Didn¡¯t I say that I wanted to add a little Chinese style?¡±

    Prince Charlie knew that Xia Wanyuan liked traditional culture very much, so he specially instructed the staff to buynterns from China and hang them at the side to build up the atmosphere.

    ¡°Prince, the Earl said that this is Ennd and we don¡¯t do those things.¡± Seeing Prince Charlie ask, the staff immediately stepped forward and answered.

    ¡°Which earl?¡± Prince Charlie frowned.

    ¡°Earl Dray.¡±

    As expected, Prince Charlie frowned even more. ¡°My words don¡¯t work anymore, right?¡±

    The staff looked at each other. In the end, they did as Prince Charlie said.

    After all, on the surface, he was the most direct sessor to the throne.

    This was not the first time she hade to Ennd, but there were still many ces that Xia Wanyuan had not been to.

    Jun Shiling pushed aside his work and focused on apanying Xia Wanyuan through the streets and alleys of Ennd.

    Xia Wanyuan was in charge of walking in front, and Jun Shiling was in charge of taking photos of her.

    In front of the towering pce, Xia Wanyuan smiled at the camera. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯ve been shooting for a long time. How many photos have you taken? Are you still taking?¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head to take a look. ¡°Not much, just more than three hundred.¡±

    Some people would get tired of it after interacting with it for a long time and feel that it was not as good-looking as before.

    However, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan differently. Whether Xia Wanyuan smiled or not, whether she sat or walked, every moment made Jun Shiling feel that she was beautiful.

    There were still many Chinese in Ennd. Even though Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were wearing masks when they came out,

    However, their outstanding temperament was too eye-catching. When they walked on the street, 100% of heads turned.

    Some Chinese people noticed these two people and took a closer look.?<i>Wasn¡¯t this Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling strolled on the streets. Their photos were already everywhere on Weibo in the country.

    No matter where the two of them went, they would meet all sorts of people by chance.

    [ Boohoo, I thought that Xia Wanyuan would finally not bring CEO Jun to Ennd this time. I never expected that not only did Xia Wanyuan go to show off her skills, but she also showed off her love overseas. ]

    [ Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looking at the photos taken by passers-by, who would have thought that the man squatting on the ground and taking photos of Xia Wanyuan was the richest man earning hundreds of millions every minute? ]

    [Look at CEO Jun. He¡¯s so busy, but he still has time to take photos with his wife. Compared to your boyfriend, who does nothing every day, and thinks that you¡¯re too noisy and disturb them from ying games.]

    Hence, on this day, countless men inexplicably received breakup messages from their girlfriends.

    After figuring out the ins and outs,

    On a voting list for the men you hated the most, Jun Shiling was voted first by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s male fans with an absolute advantage.

    The reason everyone gave was:?<i>Good lord, not only did you snatch our goddess, Xia Wanyuan, but you also raised the standards of the entire Chinese woman¡¯s spouse selection alone. The hatred of snatching my wife is simply irreconcble.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan was pregnant after all, and her physical fitness was different from before. After walking for only an hour or so, she felt that she could not walk anymore.

    Because of her stomach, Jun Shiling did not dare to carry her. He could only hold her waist and sit with her on the bench beside the garden.

    Ennd had always been gloomy, but the sunlight today was very good. The warm sunlight shone on her face, and Xia Wanyuan was sleepy.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at her. He took off his coat and carefully covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders.

    In a piece of prosperous green grass, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan leaned against each other. The sunlight enveloped the ground warmly, and the entire scene was so warm that one could not help but want to approach.

    However, there were always some people who would never dare to approach such a ce.

    ]In a hidden hotel room not far from the small garden, two figures were standing by the window.

    Two almost identical faces.

    One face was filled with relief and a smile, while the other face was expressionless.

    ¡°Brother, look, you¡¯ve been gone for so long. I¡¯m as happy as I can be. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ve never thought of you,¡± Yu Qian suddenly said as he looked at Jun Shiling and Xi Wanyuan¡¯s backs.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need her to think of me,¡± Wei Zimu replied calmly. In Wei Zimu¡¯s heart, as long as Xia Wanyuan could be happy, everything he did was worth it.

    Yu Qian sneered, then turned around and sat back on the sofa. ¡°You did well in America this time. Has the Feng family been resolved?¡±

    Wei Zimu retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It¡¯s all settled. There¡¯s basically no one alive in the Feng family. Feng Wuyou was confirmed deadst month. Her corpse was brought back to Continent F by Chu Xuan.¡±

    Looking at Wei Zimu¡¯s back, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes darkened. It was unknown if he believed Wei Zimu¡¯s words. ¡°Not bad. Did Chu Xuan notice?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wei Zimu shook his head. ¡°The Feng family developed very quickly in the early years and made many enemies in America. After the Feng family fell, many people wanted their lives.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Yu Qian replied softly. ¡°Pack up ande to Ennd¡¯s pce with me tonight.¡±

    ¡°Why are we going there?!¡± Wei Zimu suddenly looked up. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say not to provoke Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Why do you think I¡¯m going?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s cold gazended on Wei Zimu. ¡°My dear brother, the Queen of Ennd personally invited me.¡±

    Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian hesitantly. He had never heard of Yu Qian being rted to the royal family of Ennd.

    ¡°Go out first. I want to be alone.¡± Regardless of whether Wei Zimu believed it or not, Yu Qian could not be bothered to exin.

    He waved his hand. In the end, Wei Zimu swallowed all the questions he wanted to ask and left the room.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Country F, at the edge of a certain desert.

    Stone carried a bag of water in his arms and rushed towards the house not far away.

    There were many people in the room, and everyone¡¯s expressions were very solemn.

    On the bed in the middley a pale patient. It was Lin Yi.

    Looking at the weak Lin Yi, Xia Yu frowned. ¡°Is there no other way?¡±

    The doctor beside him shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s probably nothing we can do here. Why don¡¯t you send her back to Beijing and try? There are more medical teams and more advanced medical equipment there.¡±

    Lin Yi was infected with a strange virus, and there was no way to find out what it was.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu took a handkerchief from the side and wiped the sweat off Lin Yi¡¯s face. ¡°Then bring her back to China for treatment.¡±

    After the doctor left the room, Xia Yu¡¯s teammate walked over and patted Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t feel guilty. In that situation, you couldn¡¯t save her.¡±

    ¡°But.¡± Xia Yu lowered his head. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t insisted on going back and snatching that pile of documents, she wouldn¡¯t have be like this because she blocked a bullet for me.¡±

    A few days ago, Xia Yu and his teammates were on a mission in the desert. On the way, they met some secret personnel from China in Continent F. They had survived the mes of war and obtained a lot of confidential information for China.

    Just as they were handing over, someone leaked the news from somewhere and quickly surrounded them. Originally, Xia Yu and the rest were about to sessfully evacuate, but Xia Yu suddenly remembered that there were still some documents under the bed in the room. Those documents could not fall into the hands of others.

    Hence, Xia Yu let his teammates leave first while he entered the room and burned the documents. When he came out again, he bumped into the enemy¡¯s encirclement.

    Under his various dodges, he was still outnumbered. Just as he was about to fall into the enemy¡¯s hands, Lin Yi appeared out of nowhere and blocked a bullet for him.

    At this moment, his teammates came to support him. Xia Yu and the rest hurriedly left with Lin Yi.

    From that day onwards, Lin Yi fell into a long-term high fever, and the immune system in her body was slowly disintegrating.

    The doctor diagnosed it because she was infected with some virus, but he could not find out what virus it was.

    On the bed, Lin Yi suddenly moved and mumbled a few words. Xia Yu leaned over and heard intermittently, ¡°Xia Yu, run.¡±

    Looking at Lin Yi¡¯s pale side profile, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes darkened. He took a handkerchief and gently wiped Lin Yi¡¯s sweat. ¡°I¡¯m very good. I¡¯ll bring you back to Beijing for treatment immediately.¡±

    Soon, Jun Shiling, who was preparing to attend the banquet in Ennd, received a call from Xia Yu. After hearing him exin the situation, Jun Shiling immediately got someone to arrange a ne to pick Xia Yu and Lin Yi back to China.

    Xia Wanyuan had already changed and walked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen to Xia Yu?¡±

    ¡°Xia Yu is fine.¡± Jun Shiling tugged at his tie. ¡°He said that Lin Yi has some illness that can¡¯t be investigated. I¡¯ve already sent someone to pick them up and bring them back to China.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan originally wanted to call Xia Yu and ask, but thinking that he was probably not in the mood to answer the phone now, she could only give up.

    Seeing that it was half-past four in the evening, there was still half an hour left until five. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan set off from the hotel.

    Half an hourter, at the entrance of the pce.

    Not only did Xia Wanyuan sessfully meet the Deputy Head and the rest, but she also met a few unexpected people.

    ¡°Sister Wanyuan.¡± Wei Zimu was still as warm as ever. He walked forward and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°He came with me.¡± Not far away, Yu Qian slowly walked over with a smile that made one feel no warmth. ¡°Long time no see, Professor Xia, CEO Jun.¡±

    Seeing Yu Qian, Jun Shiling subconsciously stood in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Hello.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling block Xia Wanyuan, Yu Qian smiled. ¡°CEO Jun really loves his wife like his life. You¡¯re so protective of Professor Xia. With so many people here, what can I do to Professor Xia?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not answer Yu Qian. Instead, he turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and nced at Wei Zimu. She nodded at him before walking in.

    After taking a few steps, an extremely familiar figure walked over.

    His blue eyes were as before, but the current An Luo had a calmer expression than the innocent and pure expression from a while ago.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, An Luo did not greet her awkwardly like before. Instead, he nodded politely at Xia Wanyuan, then reached out to Jun Shiling like An Lin back then. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Although An Luo was young, everyone knew that An Lin intended to hand the entire Cape family to An Luo. Jun Shiling reached out and shook his hand.

    Then, An Luo brought people straight to the pce and ignored the others.

    Looking at An Luo¡¯s back, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached. She tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. ¡°An Lin?¡±

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips and did not answer, but Xia Wanyuan already understood what he meant.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed softly in her heart.<i>?The world was unpredictable. Who would have thought that the child who was still acting coquettishly in his brother¡¯s arms would grow up to be the person who carried the heavy burden of the Cape family in such a short time??</i>

    The others began to walk in, and Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked into the pce together.

    When she walked to the door for a safety check, Jun Shiling went over, but Xia Wanyuan was stopped outside.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Madam. Do you have any prohibited items on you? Our detection equipment is ringing.¡± The tall staff looked down at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this is the pce. Nothing dangerous is allowed to enter.¡± The staff sized Xia Wanyuan up. ¡°Can you allow us to search you?¡±

    In a car not far away, Li Qingxue sat beside Earl Dray and was a little worried. ¡°Father, will this make Jun Shiling angry?¡±

    Earl Dray knew the way of power. ¡°How is that possible? How can Jun Shiling embarrass himself in front of the world for a woman?¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    At the entrance of the pce, the scene fell into a deadlock.

    Xia Wanyuan was only wearing a dress. Jun Shiling had even helped her carry her bag. With just a nce, he knew that she could not hide anything dangerous.

    However, the staff insisted on searching Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Xia. Please understand our work.¡± The staff smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Please go to the changing room over there and change your clothes. We need to do aprehensive sampling and examination here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was already very sure that the staff here was making things difficult for her.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s originally gentle expression changed. She narrowed her eyes.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling walked towards Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and the two of them walked in side by side.

    The staff hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the order Earl Dray had given them, he finally braced himself and stepped forward to stop Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°You can¡¯t go in. Please cooperate with us.¡±

    The security guards also stepped forward and blocked the entrance. More than ten people were lined up in a row, as if Xia Wanyuan and the rest were terrorists.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the people blocking them, then turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Since they don¡¯t let us in, we won¡¯t go in.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded.

    Hence, under everyone¡¯s gazes, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left the pce.

    The staff who had been blocking the way arrogantly was stunned.

    They only wanted to make things difficult for Xia Wanyuan. They did not expect them to not attend the banquet!

    The news of this banquet had been announced to the world early in the morning, and Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were guests invited by the queen.

    <i>Now that the two of them had left directly, what should we do if the Queen med us???</i>

    The staff hurriedly went to look for Earl Dray Hearing the staff¡¯s words, Earl Dray frowned. ¡°Is Jun Shiling really so protective of Xia Wanyuan? He wants to offend the royal family of Ennd for a woman?¡±

    This was a national banquet. Dray had never thought that Jun Shiling would give up the banquet for a woman.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to find them?!¡± Earl Dray red at the staff, then opened the car door and chased after Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan, and the rest.

    In the car, Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes shed as she watched Earl Dray leave.

    It was the same every time. She really did not know what kind of bewitching potion Xia Wanyuan had given Jun Shiling to make him so loyal to her.

    Most of the guests had already entered, but Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling could not be found at all.

    Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to the opening of the banquet, the staff outside were already crazy with anxiety. Earl Dray was also covered in cold sweat. In the end, he would probably be punished for his ipetence.

    The banquet had already begun. Dray brought Li Qingxue into the banquet venue nervously.

    However, when she looked up, she saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sitting not far away.

    The two of them were chatting with the Queen of Ennd. Xia Wanyuan asionally said a few words, causing a smile to appear on the Queen¡¯s face.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Dray and then at Li Qingxue. Then, she turned around, as if she did not care about Dray and Li Qingxue at all.

    ¡°Father, look at how arrogant Xia Wanyuan is. She¡¯s simply provoking us openly!¡± Li Qingxue¡¯s tone was filled with anger as sheined to Earl Dray angrily.

    Earl Dray had been searching outside for so long, but Xia Wanyuan was waiting in the pce. He also felt that he had been yed and was very unhappy.

    However, with the guests present, he could not say anything and could only bring Li Qingxue in first.

    At this moment, the banquet table was already filled with guests. The Queen picked up a ss of fruit wine. ¡°Wee, everyone.¡±

    Everyone also raised their sses. As the wine shadows intertwined, it reflected everyone¡¯s inextricable emotions.

    Although this banquet was held under the banner of interacting with China, other than Xia Wanyuan and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there were also many businessmen envoys from other countries.

    Everyone knew that this was definitely not a simple banquet, so everyone ate tastelessly.

    Everyone was carefully observing the surroundings and the people at the table.

    Only Xia Wanyuan was more at ease. She had nothing to ask of the Queen of Ennd and did not have any psychological burden.

    Jun Shiling cut the steak into small pieces for her and wiped the crumbs by her mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.

    Sitting opposite Xia Wanyuan and the rest were Yu Qian and Wei Zimu.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s interaction, Yu Qian looked at Wei Zimu with a faint smile. ¡°Brother, are you envious?¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°I¡¯m not envious.¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up and he did not say anything else.

    As Li Qingxue sipped her wine, she nced at Jun Shiling from the corner of her eye. Jun Shiling was talking to Xia Wanyuan very patiently with a faint smile in his eyes.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s hand that was holding the wine ss trembled.

    At this moment, a servant came forward to pour wine. Li Qingxue nced at the servant and ced a small note in his hand.

    For a group banquet like this, everyone was focused on eating and maintained dining etiquette. Soon, the meal ended.

    After dinner, everyone was transferred to the hall.

    This was the true climax of a normal banquet.

    Everyone began to talk to each other, and gentle piano music filled their ears.

    In the past, many big businesses or international decisions had been produced in such a rxed environment.

    As the head of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was naturally someone many people wanted to build a rtionship with.

    Xia Wanyuan was happy to be free. She sat on the sofa near the wall and rested.

    ¡°Professor Xia.¡± Yu Qian walked towards Xia Wanyuan and ced a ss of wine in front of her.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Yu Qian, puzzled why he always called her Professor Xia.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Professor Xia, your lecture some time ago was not bad. If there¡¯s a chance next time, I want to ask Professor Xia to specially teach me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan kept feeling that the way Yu Qian looked at her made her very ufortable. She frowned slightly. ¡°There are many more outstanding people in the world than me.¡±

    ¡°But I like people like Professor Xia.¡±

    When Jun Shiling walked over, he happened to hear Yu Qian¡¯s words. His tone was cold. ¡°Mr. Yu, watch your limits.¡±

    Yu Qian turned around and looked straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    The two of them stood opposite each other, their auras shining. Neither of them gave in to the other.

    Yu Qian smiled first, but that smile did not reach his eyes at all. ¡°I just admire Miss Xia more.¡±

    ¡°No need.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Qian shrugged. ¡°Then CEO Jun, protect Professor Xia well. Don¡¯t be unable to protect her one day.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned to leave.

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s departing figure, Jun Shiling frowned. The feeling this Yu Qian gave him was getting more and more amiss.

    ¡°Are you done with your work?¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice pulled Jun Shiling back to his senses.

    Jun Shiling walked over and sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to talk about.¡±

    Some things would have been settled long ago if they could negotiate. There was no need to wait until now.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to say something when a shadow fell in front of her. Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Earl Dray¡¯s condescending gaze.

    ¡°¡­¡± To be honest, Xia Wanyuan felt quite tired from attending the banquet. She only wanted to stay at the side and rest well, but these people came to her one by one.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Earl Dray?¡± Jun Shiling asked.

    Earl Dray nodded slightly at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, long time no see. I came mainly to look for your wife.¡±

    Then, Earl Dray¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, it¡¯s our first time meeting. Mrs. Jun is indeed very beautiful. No wonder you can make CEO Jun dote on you so much.¡±

    Now, Xia Wanyuan was still quite famous in Ennd. Compared to her appearance, everyone admired her for her knowledge.

    At this moment, hearing Earl Dray call her Madam Jun and say that she was very beautiful, itpletely erased all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s excellence and became Jun Shiling¡¯s vassal.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was normal. ¡°Hello, Earl Dray. I¡¯ve always heard that Earl Dray is a brave person. From the looks of it today, it¡¯s true.¡±

    The Dray family had been conferred the title of nobility because of their military achievements. Earl Dray was also very burly, tall, and stocky. Because he did not look well, he looked a little sloppy.

    In Ennd¡¯s royal family, many people teased Earl Dray behind his back.

    Hence, he was very sensitive to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words<i>. It was not the battlefield now. How could Xia Wanyuan tell that I am brave and good at fighting??</i>

    <i>Wasn¡¯t she saying that I looked thick and strong and looked like I knew how to fight?</i>

    Earl Dray¡¯s expression changed. He looked at Xia Wanyuan unhappily. ¡°The Chinese are indeed sharp-tongued.¡±

    ¡°Same to you.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not to be outdone.

    In the next second, Earl Dray suddenly bowed to the Queen of Ennd from afar. ¡°Queen, I¡¯ve always heard that Chinese martial arts are very magical, and this Madam Jun¡¯s swordsmanship is quite strong. I want topete with her. I wonder if you can approve of it.¡±

    The originally noisy hall fell silent because of Earl Dray¡¯s words. Everyone¡¯s gazesnded on Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone thought that Earl Dray had already discussed it with Xia Wanyuan before daring to say it in public, so they admired Xia Wanyuan¡¯s courage.

    After all, since Earl Dray could be conferred a noble title because of his battle merits, he naturally had true ability.

    Earl Dray turned around and looked at Xia Wanyuan smugly. ¡°Mrs. Jun, if it¡¯s inconvenient for you, we can notpete.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned and was about to stand up when Xia Wanyuan pressed his hand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    Then, Xia Wanyuan looked at Earl Dray. ¡°Of course we canpete, but in our Chinese customs, there has to be a wager. I wonder what wager Earl Dalei is willing to offer?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan actually epted the challenge. This once again exceeded Dray¡¯s expectations. After all, in his opinion, Xia Wanyuan was a weak woman with such a poor physique. Even if she knew fencing, she would not be able to achieve much.

    He looked around and saw that everyone was paying attention. His vanity exploded. ¡°Tell me whatever you want.¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I heard that the Dray family has a piece ofnd in Continent F. How about we use that piece ofnd as a prize?¡±

    Earl Dray thought for a long time but could not think of any good ces in Continent F. Those were all barren mountains and deserts and were not worth much.

    Hence, he waved his hand. ¡°No problem. We¡¯ll go with that piece ofnd.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± A smile hid on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips. Anyone familiar with Xia Wanyuan would know that someone was about to fall into a trap again.

 Chapter 1269 - The Princess Wins!

    <h4>Chapter 1269: The Princess Wins!</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    If Xia Wanyuan wanted to get a piece ofnd from Earl Dray, Xia Wanyuan naturally had to make a bet.

    She looked at Earl Dray. ¡°What do you need me to do? Please tell me.¡±

    Earl Dray thought that he would definitely win, so he was thinking about his gift very seriously.

    Li Qingxue crazily hinted to Earl Dray.

    Receiving Li Qingxue¡¯s hint, Earl Dray thought for a while.

    He could tell that his daughter had taken a fancy to Jun Shiling.

    Men looked like they had a good rtionship with their wives now. As long as another woman was by his side,

    It would not be long before the man fell for her.

    Other than being a general, Earl Dray was also a person who knew how to y with power.

    The Second Prince of Ennd, whom he supported, was almost as powerful as Prince Charlie.

    If Li Qingxue could really marry Jun Shiling, with a powerful force like the Jun Corporation joining, the second prince¡¯s chances of winning would be stable.

    Hence, Earl Draynodded at Li Qingxue and looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I want to ask CEO Jun for a chance. My daughter is about to stay in China permanently. When the timees and she enters CEO Jun¡¯s territory, please help her more.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°There¡¯s no need for me to guide the daughter of the Dray family.¡±

    Only then did Earl Dray turn to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Mrs. Jun, the prize I want is that when Li Qingxue goes to China, please allow her to learn in the Jun Corporation.¡±

    It was not strange for Earl Dray¡¯s words to fall into everyone¡¯s ears. After all, the sess of the Jun Corporation was there. Everyone wanted to go in and learn, but they did not have the chance.

    These words had another meaning in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears. Xia Wanyuan chuckled.?<i>These people had racked their brains to want my position as Madam Jun.?</i>

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    If they wanted it, it depended on whether she was willing to give it to them.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes revealed excitement.

    In literature, perhaps she could notpare to Xia Wanyuan, but in terms of martial arts, her father was the most amazing general in Ennd. He would definitely be able topare to Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing that the bet had been agreed, the surrounding people felt that this matter was interesting.

    After all, Xia Wanyuan looked really thin and small, and Earl Dray looked like he could pick her up with one hand.

    Jun Shiling wrapped his arm around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and looked at her worriedly.

    He was not worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability, but Xia Wanyuan was still pregnant. He was worried that something would happen.

    Xia Wanyuan gave Jun Shiling a reassuring look.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I only agreed because I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±

    If it were anyone else today, Xia Wanyuan would not be so confident.

    However, after saying a few words to Earl Dray, Xia Wanyuan had a certain understanding of his personality.

    Sometimes, one did not need much strength to deal with such a man who only used violence and brute force.

    In her previous life, when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s master was teaching her martial arts, he considered that she was a girl.

    There were fewer direct moves like that. Most of them taught Xia Wanyuan how to deflect a thousand pounds with four or five moves and how to borrow strength.

    Earl Dray was already prepared. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were still talking, a hint of disdain shed across Earl De Lei¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, if there¡¯s anything inconvenient, you can say it now. We can cancel it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and walked to Earl Dray.

    ¡°There¡¯s no inconvenience. How can wepete? Do as you please.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were quite confident, and the surrounding crowd was a little shocked.

    They even wondered if Xia Wanyuan knew who the man standing in front of her was.

    This was a fierce general!

    However, Xia Wanyuan stood there quietly, neither servile nor overbearing, her expression calm. The confidence that came from her bones made one¡¯s heart feel an inexplicable trust in Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Brother, what are you worried about?¡± Seeing Wei Zimu¡¯s uneasy expression, the corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he took a sip of red wine.

    Wei Zimu knew that Xia Wanyuan was very amazing, but he could not help but worry. ¡°Is my worry in your way?¡±

    Yu Qian smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was not far away.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s tone and attitude angered Earl Dray greatly. He looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily.

    Facing Earl Dray¡¯s anger, Xia Wanyuan still did not react. She only asked again, ¡°What are wepeting in?¡±

    Earl Dray took a deep breath. ¡°I heard that Madam Jun¡¯s swordsmanship is amazing. Let¡¯spete in swordsmanship.¡±

    Earl Dray had always looked down on those so-called swordyers.

    Because to him, who had experienced life and death on the battlefield, that kind of sports swordpetition was no different from children ying house.

    In their training, blood was needed.

    Over the past few days, he had always heard others praise Xia Wanyuan¡¯s swordsmanship, but he had never taken it to heart. It was because of this.

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Please.¡±

    The two of them walked to the tidied area in the middle of the hall.

    A staff brought up the protective suit and sword.

    ¡°Please change.¡±

    Earl Dray looked disdainfully at the protective suit in the staff¡¯s hand. ¡°Women have to wear protective suits for fencing. I¡¯m not wearing this!¡±

    In Earl Dray¡¯s expectations, Xia Wanyuan would be defeated by him in less than a move. He would not be able to use the protective suit at all. He could not even be bothered to unsheathe his sword.

    The staff had no choice but to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan calmly took the protective suit.

    She was confident that she could defeat Earl Dray and protect herself.

    There was no conflict between protecting herself and having good swordsmanship.

    Soon, she came out after changing.

    Earl Dray looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully.

    As expected, women were useless and afraid of death. ¡°Please. Why don¡¯t I give you three moves first?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the sword from the side. ¡°No need.¡±

    Earl Dray casually took the sword in his hand. ¡°Then, sorry for the offense.¡±

    The two swords were unsheathed at the same time. The des flickered silver under the light, causing the surrounding onlookers to take a step back.

    Although Earl Dray¡¯s character was average, he was able to be a general of Ennd, so he naturally had his countrymen¡¯s skills in martial arts.

    Looking at his aura as he held the sword, Xia Wanyuan understood that this person was very different from the athletes on the fencing field in the past.

    Xia Wanyuan focused her entire heart on the sword in her hand. With a slight movement of her wrist, she stepped forward with the sword.

    Earl Dray had always been in a 30% strength state. He had originally wanted to finish Xia Wanyuan in one move.

    However, when Xia Wanyuan stepped forward with her sword, Earl Dray¡¯s expression suddenly changed.

    Because he sensed a powerful sword momentum from Xia Wanyuan. It could only be disyed in a battle between experts.

    Earl Dray was shocked.<i>?It seemed that Xia Wanyuan was indeed something.</i>

    He quickly adjusted his condition and raised his sword to fight.

    Because Earl Dray had underestimated his enemy, Xia Wanyuan had obtained some advantage in their first move.

    Earl Dray was forced back half a step by Xia Wanyuan.

    From these few seconds, he already knew that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength could not be underestimated.

    Hence, in the followingpetition, he adjusted his mentality and used all his strength to fight.

    At the end of the day, Earl Dray was a general who led troops to fight. He was very strong, and Xia Wanyuan was fighting him.

    In the hall, sword shadows flickered, and the crisp sound of the swords hitting each other seemed to hit everyone¡¯s hearts.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan would quickly be defeated. However, after dozens of moves, Xia Wanyuan still maintained a draw with Earl Dalei.

    Everyone was shocked.?<i>That was Earl Dray.?</i>

    Regardless of whether Xia Wanyuan could win thispetition or not, to be able to maintain a draw with him for so long was already quite amazing.

    At this moment, in thepetition venue, Earl Desire was feeling more and more powerless.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength attack was actually not strong, but she would borrow the power from Dray to counterattack.

    When Earl Dray attacked, he felt that he could not do anything to Xia Wanyuan if he hit cotton.

    However, when Xia Wanyuan counterattacked, he could feel the power he had just releasedpletely rebound.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s own strength, coupled with his own, made him unable to resist at all.

    Gradually, even the surrounding crowd could tell that Earl Dray was starting to fall into a disadvantage.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword moves suddenly became faster, dazzling everyone. One could almost only see afterimages.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden change caught Earl Dray off guard.

    He responded in a panic, but he lost his head.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan found his fatal weakness. She shed over and hit him.

    The tip of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sword was pressed against Earl Dray¡¯s apple.

    As long as he took another step forward, Earl Dray would definitely die.

    ¡°Okay!!¡± In the silence, Prince Charlie was the first to p.

    Looking at Earl Dray¡¯s defeated expression, Prince Charlie was in a good mood. This Dray brought his forces to oppose him all day long.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan had won, Prince Charlie felt relieved. His eyes lit up as he looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    <i>As expected of my idol. She¡¯s too amazing!!!</i>

    Looking at the cold sword in front of him, Earl Dray was in disbelief.

    <i>How was that possible? How did I lose to Xia Wanyuan!!</i>

    Prince Charlie was very happy, but the others were not.

    After all, Earl Dray was a general of Ennd. If word got out that the general of Ennd could not defeat a woman from China, it would be too embarrassing.

    Hence, someone under Earl Dray stood up. ¡°Earl Dray has been busy with the banquet recently. He must be tired.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s understandable for us to make asional mistakes in this kind of thing. I think justpeting once in swordsmanship doesn¡¯t mean anything. We should implement the best of three ording to international practice.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± The others hurriedly echoed, ¡°It should be two out of three rounds. There¡¯s no winner in a sportspetition.¡±

    Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. She looked at Earl Dray. ¡°What do you think, Earl?¡±

    Sensing the strange gazes on his face, Earl Dray¡¯s face flushed red.

    Although it was very embarrassing, he still raised his neck.

    ¡°I think they¡¯re right. I underestimated my enemy just now. There¡¯s no way to determine the winner in one round in the stadium. Why don¡¯t wepete twice? I haven¡¯t practiced the sword for too long and I¡¯m rusty.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put the sword aside and turned to look at Earl Dalei. ¡°Sure, but each round has a prize. How about that?¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Earl De Lei had already lost his mind from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s provocation. ¡°What prize do you want?¡±

    ¡°This, we can talk about itter. As long as Earl Dray doesn¡¯t go back on his word.¡±

    ¡°Of course not!¡± Earl Dray got someone to write a note and pressed his thumbprint on it. ¡°In front of so many people, I promise you. If I lose, I¡¯ll agree to any condition you raise.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan took the receipt. ¡°You¡¯re straightforward enough. What do you want topete inter? Earl Dray, please tell me.¡±

    Now, Earl Dray no longer underestimated his enemy. He thought about it seriously.

    Swordsmanship was originally a project that the Chinese were better at. He could not give Xia Wanyuan another chance to show off.

    Earl Dray thought for a while and finally decided. ¡°How about wepete with air guns?¡±

    Now, he did not care if he would leave a bad reputation in front of others. He only wanted to win.

    Although the air gun was not the one he usually used, they trained with it.

    Earl Dray was known as a sharpshooter in the camp. He did not believe that Xia Wanyuan, a woman, could be better than him in this aspect.

    Prince Charlie could not stand it anymore. He stood up with a disdainful expression. ¡°Earl Dray, you¡¯re really shameless. You actuallypeted with a woman with a gun. Even if you win, you¡¯ll tarnish Ennd¡¯s face.¡±

    Li Qingxue also stood up. ¡°Prince Charlie, Mrs. Jun is also the world champion of the sword artspetition. My father doesn¡¯t have an advantage over her in sword arts, right?¡±

    At this moment, the Queen of Ennd gave Prince Charlie a look, and Prince Charlie swallowed his words.

    He red at Earl Dray and returned to his seat.

    The others were also whispering. Earl Dray had indeed done something wrong. Even the people of Ennd could not stand it anymore.

    Xia Wanyuan was as calm as before. She looked at Earl Dalei. ¡°Two out of three rounds. If you lose this time, you won¡¯t have a chance to do it again.¡±

    Earl Dray was very confident in his identity as a sharpshooter. ¡°Of course, Miss Xia, you should consider if you can win thispetition.¡±

    ¡°Then please.¡±

    The air gun match needed to be held in a special shooting range at the back. Everyone walked towards the back.

    Halfway through the journey, Li Qingxue secretly summoned a staff member and whispered a few words in his ear. Then, the staff disappeared at the back of the team.

    The others had already left. In the hall, Yu Qian and Wei Zimu were still sitting and not moving.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and see her?¡± Yu Qian nced at Wei Zimu.

    Wei Zimu looked at the time. ¡°Didn¡¯t you have a meeting with someone? Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±

    Yu Qian put down the ss of water in his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    He stood up and the staff immediately walked forward.

    ¡°We¡¯ll leave first. I¡¯ll get someone to contact your prince for the details.¡± Yu Qian said and walked out.

    Wei Zimu took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to the staff. ¡°Please give this to Xia Wanyuan. Thank you.¡±

    The staff took the box. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Yu Qian seemed to have expected Wei Zimu to dy for a while. When Wei Zimu went out, Yu Qian was waiting for him at the door.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Yu Qian looked at Wei Zimu with a faint smile.

    Wei Zimu ignored his question. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving? Isn¡¯t it nine?¡±

    Yu Qian snorted softly and turned to leave. Wei Zimu followed him. Soon, the two of them disappeared at the entrance of the pce.

    At this moment, in the shooting range in the backyard of the pce, all the necessary equipment had been prepared.

    Li Qingxue was talking to Earl Dray, looking at Xia Wanyuan from time to time.

    Xia Wanyuan stood beside Jun Shiling and took a sip of the water Jun Shiling handed her.

    ¡°Are you tired?¡± Jun Shiling tucked the hair behind Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear.

    ¡°I¡¯m okay. Appropriate training is beneficial to the child.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling, revealing her shallow dimples.

    Jun Shiling secretly scratched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s palm and whispered into her ear, ¡°Don¡¯t smile at me and seduce me less.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stopped smiling and red at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± While the two of them were talking, Li Qingxue walked over and looked at Jun Shiling shyly.

    Jun Shiling ignored Li Qingxue and did not even look at her.

    He was never worried that rejecting the goodwill of a daughter of a rich family would affect his career.

    If he made Xia Wanyuan unhappy because he was worried that his career would be affected, then it was useless for him to have his career.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Li Qingxue and thought to herself that this girl was quite infatuated.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was ignoring her, Li Qingxue gritted her teeth and maintained the smile on her face. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m going to China to stay permanently soon. Please guide me when the timees.¡±

    Even though Jun Shiling did not even look at Li Qingxue, what one could not get was probably the best.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s handsome side profile, Li Qingxue could not hide the love in her eyes.

    This was the man she had secretly admired for so many years!

    Although Xia Wanyuan was not worried that Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue would do anything, she still felt a little ufortable when her man was looked at like this.

    She took a step forward and said very directly, ¡°Miss Li, do you know my husband?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was not soft, and everyone looked over.

    Li Qingxue frowned. ¡°Back then, I interned in the secretariat of the Jun Corporation for a period of time, so I naturally knew CEO Jun.¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, a sneer sounded in the corner.

    ¡°You really know how to lie. Who doesn¡¯t know that the secretariat of the Jun Corporation is the most difficult secretariat in the world? I really want to know how outstanding Miss Lei¡¯s resume is.¡±

    Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. On the chair in the corner sat An Luo, whose eyes were as blue as blue waves.

    Li Qingxue originally wanted to retort, but when she saw that it was An Luo, she swallowed her words.

    The Cape family dominated Continent O. Although An Luo was not the official head of the family yet, no one was stupid enough to offend him.

    After her lie was exposed, Li Qingxue¡¯s face turned pale. She looked at Jun Shiling for help, hoping that Jun Shiling could help her out.

    However, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze had been on Xia Wanyuan from the beginning to the end.

    Li Qingxue was furious. When Earl Dray walked over, he saw his daughter with an aggrieved expression.

    Seeing Li Qingxue look at Xia Wanyuan sadly, he naturally thought that Xia Wanyuan was targeting Li Qingxue because of Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, may I ask what my daughter has done to you? Why are you treating her like this?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to talk to him about Li Qingxue. ¡°Are you ready? Aren¡¯t you going topete?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± After speaking to Xia Wanyuan, Earl Dray turned around and patted Li Qingxue¡¯s shoulder tofort her.

    Xia Wanyuan and Earl Dray walked into the venue at the same time.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, is this distance enough? A hundred meters. If you think it¡¯s too far, you can adjust it.¡±

    As a general, Earl Dray practiced his spearmanship every day. He was quite confident in thispetition, so his words sounded arrogant.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the target in the venue. ¡°We do have to adjust it.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Earl Dray thought that Xia Wanyuan was going to puff herself up this time, but he did not expect her to be quite smart. She could adapt to the situation. ¡°You can adjust, but you can¡¯t be lower than fifty meters, right? If you¡¯re too close, what¡¯s the point of thepetition?¡±

    ¡°Two hundred meters.¡± Xia Wanyuan gave a number.

    Earl De Lei had heard the word ¡°two¡± from the beginning. He was about to say that Xia Wanyuan was too funny. What was there topete about twenty meters?

    However, when he came back to his senses, Earl De Lei looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. ¡°What did you say?!¡±

    ¡°I say, there shouldn¡¯t be a problem adjusting the length to two hundred meters, right?¡± Xia Wanyuan repeated. ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s a limit to the length? Earl, a sharpshooter like you should have no problem at all, right?¡±

    Two hundred meters was fine for Earl Dalei, but the further the distance, the less urate it was. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sudden move caught him off guard.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go two hundred meters.¡± Earl Dray could not let others think that he was inferior to a woman, so he agreed.

    When the others saw the staff moving the target, they thought that Earl Dray had requested to set such a distance.

    Some young staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs panicked when they saw this. ¡°Earl Dray is too much. Miss Xia is a girl and a guest. He bullied her just because he¡¯s a sharpshooter??¡±

    On the other hand, the deputy head calmly nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down. ¡°You have to believe our Wanyuan. If she¡¯s not confident, she won¡¯t follow at all.¡±

    On the other hand, Earl Dray and Xia Wanyuan had already arrived at the designated location and were adjusting the equipment in their hands.

    Xia Wanyuan picked it up and took a look. She knew that something had been tampered with, but Xia Wanyuan did not speak. Instead, she confirmed with the staff that there was no problem.

    <h4>Chapter 1271: The Princess Tricked Someone</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had confirmed it, a dark glint shed across Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes. She looked at a maid not far away and the maid nodded at her. Only then was Li Qingxue satisfied.

    The others did not notice this abnormality, but Jun Shiling looked at Li Qingxue thoughtfully.

    Li Qingxue acutely caught Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. She looked over shyly and blinked at Jun Shiling with a red face.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling immediately retracted his gaze.

    On the field, Xia Wanyuan and Earl Dray had already begun thepetition.

    This time, Earl Dray began to feel smug again because he was a sharpshooter. ¡°Mrs. Jun, after you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not stand on ceremony with him and aimed at the distant target.

    After a few bangs,

    The staff in charge of scoring counted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hit targets.

    The staff was stunned. Every shot hit the bullseye.

    Earl Dray had not been smug for long. When he saw Xia Wanyuan holding the gun, he already had an ominous feeling.

    He did not need the staff to tell him Xia Wanyuan¡¯s results. With just a nce, he could tell how good Xia Wanyuan was.

    This time, Earl Dray was really shocked. ¡°You know how to shoot?!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him calmly. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    Earl Dray did not speak, but the shock on his face was real.

    When it was his turn, Earl De Lei still had real talent. Just like Xia Wanyuan, every shot hit the bullseye.

    If this continued, the oue might never be decided. Hence, the staff moved the entire target back fifty meters. This time, the requirements for the gunman were even higher.

    The two of them adjusted the equipment again. This time, Xia Wanyuan specially adjusted it with her back facing Earl Dray.

    Earl Dray felt that something was wrong. He walked forward to take a look, but Xia Wanyuan seemed to be deliberately not letting him see and had been hiding.

    Earl Dray understood.

    <i>I knew it. How could a woman be so urate at shooting? She must have tampered with this gun.?</i>

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve already adjusted it. Can we start thepetition??¡± Xia Wanyuan used her body to block the equipment on the table, then looked at Earl Deley.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, Earl Dray felt that Xia Wanyuan was guilty. He looked at the queen.

    ¡°To be fair, I suggest that in the next round, both parties change their equipment.¡±

    Hearing Earl Dray¡¯s words, Li Qingxue was instantly anxious. She wanted to step forward, but An Luo suddenly walked up to her. ¡°Miss Lei, what brand of perfume are you using today? Don¡¯t use it next time. It really smells bad.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Li Qingxue was embarrassed and angry at An Luo¡¯s words. However, facing the Cape family, she did not know what to say and could only swallow her anger.

    While An Luo was blocking her, Earl Dray and Xia Wanyuan had alreadypleted the exchange of equipment.

    This time, Earl Dray did not want to give in to Xia Wanyuan anymore. He was the first to attack.

    However, this time, it was not as everyone had imagined.

    Other than the first shot hitting the target, every subsequent shot missed.

    Earl Dray could not believe it. He looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily. ¡°Did you do something to the gun?!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ignored his usations and picked up her gun. She shot it into the distance a few times, and then it was a perfect result.

    ¡°I won.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Earl Dray.

    Earl Dray firmly believed that Xia Wanyuan had deliberately set him up. He protested loudly, ¡°This is cheating. Bring the staff in charge of the equipment up!!¡±

    Li Qingxue¡¯s face instantly turned pale.

 Chapter 1272 - Admit Defeat

    <h4>Chapter 1272: Admit Defeat</h4>

    She walked forward and wanted to stop Earl Dray, but An Luo walked up to her.

    ¡°Miss Li, don¡¯t go.¡±

    With An Luo blocking her, how could Li Qingxue dare to step forward? She could only keep giving Earl Dray looks.

    However, Earl Dray waspletely immersed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s anger of cheating and could not understand the meaning in Li Qingxue¡¯s eyes.

    The staff had already been brought over. Facing so many big shots, the staff trembled in fear and fell to the ground.

    !!

    ¡°Tell me, who instructed you to change these equipment!¡± Earl Dray was already tall and had a rough face. When he spoke to someone in such a fierce tone, ordinary people could not withstand such an aura.

    ¡°Earl, I, I didn¡¯t.¡± Everyone in the pce knew about Li Qingxue¡¯s father-daughter rtionship with Earl Dray. If they exposed Li Qingxue, wouldn¡¯t they offend both sides?

    However, Earl Dray could not take this lying down. He was a sharpshooter. How could he lose to Xia Wanyuan in front of so many people? He insisted on proving that Xia Wanyuan had cheated to win thispetition.

    ¡°You¡¯re not going to tell me, right?¡± Earl Dray called for his subordinate. ¡°Lock him up for interrogation.¡±

    The staff was frightened, but he did not dare to say that it was Li Qingxue. He could only struggle and be brought down.

    Since the staff did not confess, Earl Dray got someone to check the surveince cameras.

    The Queen watched Earl Dray¡¯s actions from the side and felt that he was too petty. She wanted to stop him.

    Prince Charlie seemed to know something and leaned towards the queen to attract her attention.

    In front of everyone, Earl Dray pulled out the surveince cameras.

    Then he fell silent.

    Because in the video, the person who was whispering to the staff was his own daughter, Li Qingxue.

    Everyone¡¯s gazes becameplicated.

    <i>This matter was interesting. </i>

    No one was a fool. They could easily guess the joints. Li Qingxue must have wanted to tamper with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gun, but she had identally harmed her father.

    Li Qingxue¡¯s entire face was already red. She looked at Earl Dray for help, but in his anger, Dray pped Li Qingxue¡¯s face. Li Qingxue¡¯s face instantly swelled up.

    She looked at Earl Dray in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears. ¡°Father.¡±

    ¡°Shut up. I don¡¯t have a daughter like you!!¡± Earl Dray was not angry about what Li Qingxue had done, but because Li Qingxue had embarrassed him in front of so many people.

    The matter had be like this, making Earl Dray look like a joke. The Queen finally could not help but stand up. ¡°Enough. Madam Jun is brilliant. There¡¯s no need topete anymore. Earl Dray, admit defeat.¡±

    Earl Dray originally wanted topete with Xia Wanyuan again, but facing the queen¡¯s pressure, he did not dare to say anything else. He could only admit it and nod reluctantly at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam Jun is indeed amazing. I admit defeat.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Li Qingxue, who was crying, and said calmly, ¡°Earl Dray isn¡¯t bad either.¡±

    This banquet ended in a farce.

    Earl Dray was originally the backbone of the Second Prince.

    However, after this banquet ended, the situation of Earl Dray and Xia Wanyuan¡¯spetition spread throughout Continent O through the various nobles.

    Overnight, the reputation of the Dray family plummeted.

    In the end, Prince Charlie became the biggest beneficiary.

    Before Prince Charlie attended the banquet, he did not expect such a pleasant surprise.

    Before Xia Wanyuan left Ennd, Prince Charlie specially sent her off with arge pile of things.

    ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Prince Charlie eximed as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What a pity. If I had gone to China earlier back then, I would have married you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow and nced behind Prince Charlie.

    Following her gaze, Prince Charlie turned around and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze.

    This feeling of teasing someone¡¯s wife and being caught red-handed was really too exciting. Prince Charlie scratched his head awkwardly and smiled foolishly. ¡°Um, CEO Jun, your flight time is almost up, right? I¡¯ll leave first. If youe to Ennd again next time, I¡¯ll wee you 100%.¡±

    Jun Shiling walked forward and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist, taking her away as if dering his sovereignty.

    It was only when they walked out of the hotel that Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Be gentle. You know that Prince Charlie is joking.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was getting more and more dazzling, there were more and more opportunities to show her face in the world.

    Perhaps Xia Wanyuan did not realize it at all, but many people began to covet her. It was just that Jun Shiling blocked those admiring gazes outside.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced her hand in Jun Shiling¡¯s and gently hooked it, the corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curling up.

    The two of them got into the car and prepared to meet the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the airport before heading to Continent F.

    However, halfway there, Jun Shiling suddenly received a call.

    After the call ended, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°We have to return to China.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Xia Yu. There¡¯s something strange about Lin Yi¡¯s illness and she needs special medicine to treat it. I have to go back personally to get the medicine.¡±

    There were many potions that required extremely high-level personnel toe into contact with. Xia Yu had no choice but to look for Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll go back too.¡± Something had happened to Xia Yu, and Xia Wanyuan was not in the mood to go to Continent F anymore. She greeted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and instructed Chen Yun to contact the people in Continent F before following Jun Shiling on the ne back to China.

    In Continent F, in a magnificent pce-like vi, soothing music spread out from the room.

    ¡°This is the surprise you prepared.¡± A cold voice sounded, scaring the butler until his legs went limp.

    ¡°Young Master, Old Master asked us to prepare this.¡± The butler looked at Chu Xuan fearfully, afraid that he would re up.

    Ever since Chu Xuan brought that strange ice coffin back to the Chu family a few days ago, his condition had been very strange.

    Old Master Chu was worried that Chu Xuan would be affected by Feng Wuyou¡¯s death, so he got the butler to prepare today¡¯s banquet.

    In the hall, the people singing and dancing were all carefully chosen beauties from all over the world.

    ¡°Tell them to get lost!¡± Chu Xuan then took a wine ss from the side and threw it out, scaring everyone in the hall.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± The butler was also frightened by Chu Xuan and hurriedly waved everyone out.

    Seeing that everyone was about to leave the room, Chu Xuan happened to look up and saw a back view.

    ¡°Wait.¡±

    Everyone in the room hurriedly stopped. The butler looked at Chu Xuan carefully. ¡°Young Master, is there a problem?¡±

    Chu Xuan¡¯s eagle-like gaze locked onto the woman standing by the door. He frowned and pointed. ¡°That woman in white turned around.¡±

    Hearing Chu Xuan¡¯s words, the butler¡¯s eyes lit up.<i>?It seemed that Old Master¡¯s method was indeed useful. Didn¡¯t Chu Xuan¡¯s attention turn to someone else??</i>

    ¡°The one in white,e here. Everyone else, get out.¡±

    As soon as the butler finished speaking, the others in the room walked out. Only the white-robed woman leaning against the door stood there.

    ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you understand humannguage? Young Master asked you toe over.¡± The butler urged unhappily again.

    At this moment, the woman in white slowly turned around.

    Chu Xuan¡¯s gaze was fixed on her.

    When the womanpletely turned around, a hint of disappointment seemed to sh across Chu Xuan¡¯s eyes.

    It was not easy for Chu Xuan to find someone he was interested in. The butler gave the woman a look and asked her toe and apany Chu Xuan before leaving.

    Chu Xuan had already lost interest and was about to get this person out when the woman suddenly lowered her head, revealing a slender neck that inexplicably gave Chu Xuan a sense of familiarity.

    ¡°Come here,¡± Chu Xuan called out to the woman.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The woman lowered her eyes. Her facial features could not be seen clearly, but one could vaguely tell that she was very beautiful.

    When the woman walked forward, Chu Xuan casually took a ss of red wine. ¡°Look up at me.¡±

    The woman slowly looked up. Chu Xuan looked up as he drank. The wine ss in his hand fell to the ground.

    Standing in front of her was a Chinese woman. She was very beautiful, had gentle facial features, and was quiet and peaceful, making one think of the sunflower with the first drop of dew in the morning.

    However, what Chu Xuan cared about was not her appearance, but her bright eyes.

    They were too simr.

    However, there was one difference. Feng Wuyou¡¯s eyes always had a proud and passionate light, while the eyes of the woman in front of her were like clearke water.

    They were clearly different, but Chu Xuan felt that they were simr for no reason.

    ¡°Young Master?¡± The woman smiled faintly. ¡°Do you need me to do anything?¡±

    Chu Xuan frowned slightly. Feng Wuyou had never spoken to him so gently.

    <i>This person was not Feng Wuyou. I was stubborn. Feng Wuyou was already dead.?</i>

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Chu Xuan wiped the wine off his body and looked at the woman in front of him.

    ¡°Su Yao.¡± Su Yao smiled at Chu Xuan. Her eyes curved slightly, and Feng Wuyou¡¯s shadow appeared again.

    Chu Xuan originally wanted her to go out, but with her smile, Chu Xuan changed his mind.

    ¡°Su Yao? Follow me in the future.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Young Master.¡± Two dimples appeared on Su Yao¡¯s face. Her long ck hair hung behind her shoulders like a waterfall.

    Chu Xuan stood up and walked upstairs. When he reached the bedroom door, Chu Xuan nced at Su Yao, who was following behind him. ¡°You can go down first.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Su Yao turned around obediently.

    When she turned around, intense hatred shed across Su Yao¡¯s eyes.

    As she had expected, Chu Xuan had never really liked her. He hated everything about her.

    As a result, she dressed up as the opposite of her former self and immediately attracted Chu Xuan¡¯s attention.

    <i>Did he really hate me that much??</i>

    Su Yao clenched her fists. Her eyes were clearly filled with hatred, but there was an indiscernible sadness in them.

    If anyone else entered the bedroom, they would definitely be frightened by the decorations.

    In Continent F, which did not produce cherry blossoms, arge number of cherry blossom trees were nted in flower pots in this room.

    There were no decorations in the house. Other than the cherry trees in the house, there was only a huge ice coffin in the middle of the house.

    The ice coffin was transparent, and one could see Feng Wuyou lying inside.

    Chu Xuan walked up and ced his hand on the ice coffin. His expression was dark. ¡°Is this your way of taking revenge on me? Don¡¯t tell me you think I¡¯ll be sad if you die?¡±

    In the ice coffin, Feng Wuyou¡¯s face was covered in ayer of frost because of the low temperature. She looked cold and no longer looked as lively as before.

    Chu Xuan tightened his grip on the ice coffin and looked at Feng Wuyou lying still.

    Chu Xuan, who had always been cold and heartless in front of everyone, suddenly began to look a little sad.

    He stared at the person in the ice coffin. ¡°If you wake up now, I¡¯ll return the Feng family to you, okay?¡±

    However, in the ice coffin, Feng Wuyou did not respond as usual.

    Chu Xuan leaned against the ice coffin and sat down. He lowered his head, thinking about something.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the ne from Ennd to China.

    Jun Shiling received a message and subconsciously nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong??¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow. ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m not telling you.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was getting more and more childish, but she was even more childish than Jun Shiling. ¡°What news? Tell me.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and raised his chin slightly. He looked at Xia Wanyuan with a faint smile. ¡°Sure, you know.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put down the book in her hand and sat beside Jun Shiling. She tugged at his sleeve. ¡°CEO Jun, what news?¡±

    Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and ced her on hisp. ¡°I realize that you¡¯re much more curious than before. When were you so nosy in the past?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently punched Jun Shiling. ¡°Are you going to say it or not? If you¡¯re not, forget it.¡±

    Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and lowered his head to cover her vermillion. After collecting the interest, he leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and said a few words to her.

    ¡°Really?? So Feng Wuyou isn¡¯t dead?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°But I¡¯m not sure about her subsequent whereabouts. I can only find that someone changed her appearance at that time and made herpletely disappear in front of everyone.¡±

    ¡°Then did Chu Xuan find out about this too?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling had a special channel that was faster than anyone else¡¯s information.

    Chu Xuan was a stepte. Jun Shiling had already sealed everyone¡¯s news. It was impossible for Chu Xuan to find out.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°Where do you think Feng Wuyou will go?¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°Didn¡¯t you already guess?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered.

    ording to Feng Wuyou¡¯s personality, she would only go to one ce.

    However, that was her own choice. Xia Wanyuan did not think too much about it. Seeing that the ne was about to reach the Beijing airport, Xia Wanyuan packed her things.

    Just as she was flipping through her luggage, she suddenly found a small box in the box.

    She picked up the box and saw a colorful and very beautiful diamond ne.

    Seeing that every single one of them, regardless of whether they were good-looking or not, they only used thergest and brightest diamond brush, Xia Wanyuan knew that An Luo must have given them to her.

    Xia Wanyuanughed and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Did you help An Luo put this in?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nced at the diamond ne in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°A brat¡¯s aesthetic standards.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not want to argue with Jun Shiling, who was jealous of children. She put away the ne and sat beside Jun Shiling. ¡°Did something happen to An Lin?¡±

    ording to how much An Lin doted on An Luo, if not for something happening to An Lin himself, he would not have let An Luo attend this banquet.

    ¡°An Lin is sick,¡± Jun Shiling said briefly. ¡°This matter is their internal matter. We don¡¯t have to care.¡±

    Although he said that, Xia Wanyuan was still a little worried about An Luo.

    He was still a young man, but he had already taken on the heavy responsibility of the Cape family.

    Jun Shiling turned around and smoothed the frown between Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyebrows with his hand. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve been worried about this and that all day. Why aren¡¯t you worried about me?¡±

    ¡°Why should I be worried about you?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling angrily.

    Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear and said something, immediately causing her ears to turn red. She red at Jun Shiling. ¡°Indecent.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and did notment.?<i>Why should I be so serious with my wife?</i>

    Back at the Beijing airport,

    For example, Xia Wanyuan could already be considered a top trend in China. Arge number of fans were waiting to wee her with posters and flowers.

    Xia Wanyuan was originally prepared to take the VIP passageway, but seeing that so many fans were waiting for her, she changed the route and walked through the public passageway.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walk over together, the fans¡¯ cheers were about to overturn the entire airport.

    The security guards frantically blocked the fans who kept surging forward, but the fans were too enthusiastic and could not be stopped at all. Helpless, the security guards could only ask Xia Wanyuan for help.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and waved at everyone, then waved her hand, signaling everyone to retreat.

    The fan army that had used all their strength to resist retreated quietly.

    The security guards:?<i>??? Are you not giving me face??</i>

    Jun Shiling protected Xia Wanyuan out of the airport hall.

    The two of them had just gotten into the car when news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s return spread throughout the Inte.

    The news of Su Yueran bing the ambassador of Chinese and American culture had only been trending for a few days before it was pushed down by Xia Wanyuan again.

    Su Yueran was so angry in the vi that she threw the cups in the room to the ground.

    Theizens¡¯ eyes were quite sharp. At that time, there were especially many fans at the airport. Everyone took photos of Xia Wanyuan from all angles.

    Some fans carefullypared Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo, then realized that when they looked at her from the side, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach was slightly bulging.

    Everyone could not help but have a bold guess.?<i>Could Xia Wanyuan be pregnant???</i>

    This time, theizens¡¯ gossip burned. There were even arge number ofments on the Inte guessing men and women.

    The studio could not be bothered to resolve the various guesses and rumors on the Inte because in just a few days, the scripts and invitations from all sides had already filled up dozens of square meters in front of the studio.

    Chen Yun and Lu Li did not know that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant. Their first reaction was joy when they saw so many invitations. When they excitedly went to Xia Wanyuan to ask her which movie she would ept,

    Xia Wanyuan caught them off guard. ¡°I won¡¯t take on movies and television dramas for the next six months.¡±

    Chen Yun and Lu Li were shocked. ¡°So, are you leaving the industry?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. She had entered the entertainment industry in the beginning and would not leave halfway. She ced a document in front of Chen Yun and Lu Li. ¡°I¡¯m not filming other people¡¯s scenes anymore. I want to be a director myself.¡±

 Chapter 1275 - Series

    <h4>Chapter 1275: Series</h4>

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Chen Yun and Lu Li were stunned for a moment before reacting.

    ¡°Director? Why did you suddenly think of this again?¡±

    <i>I didn¡¯t realize that Xia Wanyuan was interested in this in the past. </i>

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through the script. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    When she first came to the modern world, in order to understand more about this era, Xia Wanyuan had learned through watching television dramas.

    Unfortunately, those television dramas were a little shocking in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. She could not find a better-looking one.

    Anyway, she was pregnant and was no longer suitable for high-intensity filming for a long time. It was not bad to transfer to the backstage as a director.

    ¡°Okay, Sister Xia. If you¡¯re the director, the drama you film will definitely be especially good.¡± Lu Li, the expert drama follower, was already looking forward to it.

    In her eyes, Xia Wanyuan could do the best in everything, including television dramas.

    Chen Yun had no objections and this matter was decided.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll screen the script for you? What direction do you want??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°Thest time I browsed Weibo, I saw a television drama being scolded very badly by book fans. I¡¯ve seen that story outline before. Not bad. Help me find out what the original name of that book is.¡±

    ¡°Okay, no problem.¡±

    Chen Yun immediately went to investigate.

    To people who had been in the entertainment industry on Weibo all year round, Chen Yun knew how to search for keywords too well.

    Once he typed in the words ¡°adapted to look like sh*t¡±, arge number of Weibo posts rted to these words quickly appeared.

    Chen Yun took a look. Basically, most of theizens were scolding the television drama adapted from a mythical novel, ¡°Under the Sky¡±.

    The worldview of the original novel was quite grand. With revenge as the main storyline, it connected the plotlines of the gods, demons, and demons. It described how three young people who grew up in different environments and worldviews grew up step by step, turned into enemies, and finally became one.

    The story was actually notplicated. The reason why this television drama was boycotted by manyizens was because of its special effects.

    A television drama was different from a movie.

    A movie was only two hours long, so the production team could invest a lot of money in special effects and produce stunning effects.

    However, a television drama with dozens of episodes could not.

    Hence, few Chinese television dramas had good special effects. They were usually called noob special effects.

    There were many television dramas overseas that became popr worldwide because they were willing to invest and produce exquisitely.

    Such a legendary television drama had even higher requirements for special effects. The television drama that had been filmed a while ago clearly did not reach the passing mark.

    The dragon was like a line dug out by the PowerPoint. When it soared into the clouds, it was as if it was flying on the ground. After the television drama came out, arge number of book fans boycotted it, thinking that it was an insult to the essence of the original work.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the main plot of the television drama and flipped through the original novel. She felt that it was not bad, so she decided. ¡°This is it. Go and talk to the author. I still have something on, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Looking at the book ¡°Under the Sky¡± in his hand, when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back disappeared at the door, Chen Yun could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

    Because he was a fan of ¡°Under the Sky¡±!! <i>What a pie from the sky! </i>

    Back then, when he saw his favorite novel being filmed like that, he had also used his alternate ount to scold the production team.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan actually wanted to reshoot, Chen Yun was overjoyed. He immediately contacted the original novel to discuss buying the copyright.

    After leaving the studio, Xia Wanyuan drove straight to Beijing Hospital.

    After Jun Shiling returned, the restricted drugs had already been sent to Lin Yi. The doctor had operated on her, and now, Xia Yu was apanying Lin Yi in the ward.

    When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the ward, Xia Yu was sitting in the corridor outside with his head lowered, thinking about something.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and patted Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Sister?¡± Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu let down his guard and forced a smile at her.

    ¡°How¡¯s Lin Yi¡¯s condition?¡± Xia Wanyuan sat beside Xia Yu.

    ¡°The doctor said that he¡¯s recovering steadily. Thank you brother-inw for the medicine.¡± Xia Yu felt a little tired. He leaned to the side andy weakly on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xia Yu. ¡°Are you married to Lin Yi?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Xia Yu sat up straight. ¡°This is what I was prepared to do. When Lin Yi wakes up, I¡¯ll mention this to her.¡±

    Back then, Lin Yi was injured to save him. Xia Yu was not stupid, and Lin Yi could not hide her thoughts. He naturally knew that Lin Yi liked him.

    At that time, looking at Lin Yi lying on the bed on hisst breath, the idea of marrying Lin Yi suddenly appeared in Xia Yu¡¯s mind.

    After all, at that time, the doctors said that Lin Yi could not survive. He wanted to fulfill Lin Yi¡¯s wish before she died.

    Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve thought it through. I¡¯ve always supported you.¡±

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clear phoenix eyes, Xia Yu nodded. ¡°I know, Sister.¡±

    ¡°Then take care of her here. I¡¯ll go back to the manor and get them to send some food over. You have to eat well.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Yu apanied Xia Wanyuan out.

    After sending Xia Wanyuan away, Xia Yu turned around and walked upstairs.

    However, after taking two steps, he stopped.

    Not far away stood Jiang Yun.

    Seeing Xia Yu, Jiang Yun tightened her grip on the medicine bottle and smiled calmly. ¡°You¡¯re back in China?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded and his gaze shifted to the medicine bottle in Jiang Yun¡¯s hand. ¡°Are you sick?¡±

    Jiang Yun shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m taking care of my...¡±

    Jiang Yun paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Take care of my husband. He¡¯s recuperating in this hospital.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s expression was dark. It was unknown what he was thinking. His gaze swept across Jiang Yun¡¯s clearly smaller face. ¡°You seem to have lost weight. Take care.¡±

    Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes turned sour. She bit her lower lip and tried her best to remain calm. ¡°Thank you. My husband is still waiting for me. I¡¯ll go up first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    With that, Jiang Yun walked away quickly. Xia Yu looked at her departing figure with an obscure gaze.

    When he returned to the ward, Lin Yi had already woken up. She was leaning against the head of the bed in a daze, thinking about something.

    Seeing Xia Yu enter, a smile appeared on Lin Yi¡¯s pale face. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so polite?¡± Xia Yu walked over and wiped Lin Yi¡¯s hands with a towel. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t saved me, I wouldn¡¯t even know where to lie now.¡±

    The corners of Lin Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°In that situation, if it were anyone else, they would have saved you without hesitation.¡±

    Xia Yu wiped Lin Yi¡¯s hands. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about those things anymore. Rest well and get well early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Yi nodded.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan left the hospital, she received a call from Chen Yun.

    ¡°Wanyuan, that author is overjoyed. He¡¯s still connected to the phone, so he drove to our studio to sign the contract with us. I¡¯ll send you the electronic contractter.¡±

    ¡°No problem. You can just check it.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll settle this.¡±

    After hanging up, Chen Yun immediately posted the news on Weibo happily.

    A few days ago, ¡°Under the Sky¡±, which had been filmed very badly, had just ended. Now, the dark trending topic about how bad this television drama was was still on Weibo¡¯s trending topic.

    When one clicked on it, it was basically filled with insults from book fans andints from passers-by.

    Just as everyone wasmenting that ¡°China¡¯s television industry is finished¡±, Wan Shi Studio suddenly posted a post.

    @ Wan Shi Studio: ¡°I¡¯m very happy to work with ¡®Under the Sky¡¯. Let¡¯s look forward to @ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first work as a director.¡±

    Seeing the words ¡°Under the Sky¡±, everyone was about to scold them out of habit when they saw the name Xia Wanyuan.

    [ Why don¡¯t I understand what this Weibo post means?? Is Xia Wanyuan going to film ¡°Under the Sky¡± again?? Why didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan act anymore and went to be a director? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acting skills are quite good, but directors and actors arepletely different directions. Is Xia Wanyuan sure that she can control the huge plotline of this television drama? My white moonlight novel has already been regretted once. I don¡¯t want to see it destroyed a second time. Please let him off. ]

    [ Am I the only one who¡¯s looking forward to it? Ignoring everything else, if Xia Wanyuan is the director, the budget for this drama is simply invincible. Can I look forward to the special effects of this television drama? ]

    Although there were some doubts, most people still supported it. After all, the special effects of the previous concert were there, so everyone naturally had a bnce in their hearts.

    However, when the news spread, the foreignizens did not think so. It was because the special effects of Chinese television dramas in the past were too famous.

 Chapter 1276 - S-Virus

    <h4>Chapter 1276: S-Virus</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    It was fine if it was just bad, but the key was that many Chinese television dramas liked to giarize foreign works, and they did not giarize well.

    It was either that the character had changed drastically, or that after the adaptation, the special effects level had been greatly reduced.

    In everyone¡¯s opinion, Chinese television dramas were equivalent to crude construction.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is arrogant. Does she really think that the movie is her own credit? It was clearly that director who filmed it well. Does she think that she can film a very good movie when she goes up? ]

    [I¡¯m speechless. I¡¯m waiting to see what television drama you¡¯re going to copy again. Can¡¯t you have some shame? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed copying others every day?]

    [ Rich people are willful. They do whatever they want. Filming television dramas is like ying. ]

    When they learned that Xia Wanyuan was going to film a remake of ¡°Under the Sky¡±, everyone¡¯s reaction was even stronger.

    Back then, in order to ride on the poprity of an internationally popr magical television drama, the story structure of ¡°Under the Sky¡± was clearlypletely oriental.

    However, the director and screenwriter of that production team forcefully adapted the entire television drama into a structure simr to Western culture and were chased and scolded by the fans of that popr television drama.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was preparing to film ¡°Under the Sky¡±, the audience of ¡°Ice and Fire¡± did not care about anything else and scolded Xia Wanyuan first.

    Hence, before the television drama began filming, the evaluation on the Inte had already plummeted to 2 points. The full score was 10 points.

    The market reflected the audience¡¯s willingness to watch. Many investors were waiting to see everyone¡¯s reaction and considering whether to invest.

    While everyone was still hesitating, the Jun Corporation had already released a statement that they wouldplete the television drama with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio. All the investments would be taken care of by the Jun Corporation.

    The others who were still watching:<i>?¡­ Can¡¯t you y like this? Can¡¯t you give me some soup??</i>

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was reading the original novel. Jun Shiling sat at the side and massaged her shoulders. ¡°Can¡¯t you stay at home obediently?¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan flipped through the book, she replied, ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s hand moved down slightly and scratched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. Xia Wanyuan shrank back from the scratch, her eyes smiling. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling picked her up. ¡°Don¡¯t work too hard.¡±

    ¡°The child will be fine. I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Xia Wanyuan touched her stomach. It had already begun to bulge slightly. Xia Wanyuan could feel a small life sprouting in her stomach.

    Jun Shiling gently pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m worried about the child?¡±

    Seeing the deep worry in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned forward to kiss Jun Shiling. ¡°I know. You¡¯re worried about me. I understand. I definitely won¡¯t tire myself out. I promise.¡±

    Jun Shiling sighed softly and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved slightly as she hugged Jun Shiling tightly.

    Just as the living room fell into a short silence, footsteps sounded outside. It was obvious who it was.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly let go of Jun Shiling. The next second, Xiao Bao ran in energetically. ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re back. I missed you so much!!¡±

    Xiao Bao leaned towards Xia Wanyuan and looked at her with wide eyes.

    During this time, Xiao Bao was ced with Old Master. Other than reading obediently every day, he was in ss. It was not easy for him to look forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s return. Now, his eyes were filled with longing for her.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and rubbed Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Mommy misses you too.¡±

    Xiao Bao¡¯s big eyes were filled with stars. ¡°Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°I knew you were the best!!¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm happily, then pushed Jun Shiling away with his butt and sat between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao and did not stop him, but the disdain in his eyes was obvious.

    At night, Xiao Bao sessfully obtained the benefit of sleeping in the same bed as Xia Wanyuan.

    Without a beauty in his arms, Jun Shiling simply dealt with his work in the study and had no intention of sleeping.

    The night gradually covered. In the entire study, there was only the sound of Jun Shiling flipping through documents and marking them with a fountain pen.

    At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up, nced at it, and pressed the answer button.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s voice was on the other end of the line. After he said a few words, Jun Shiling put down the pen in his hand. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go over now.¡±

    When Jun Shiling left the study, Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao¡¯s yful voices came from the bedroom next door.

    It was not easy for him to look forward to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s return. Xiao Bao was especially happy to tell Xia Wanyuan about the new friends he had met in kindergarten, making herugh.

    Jun Shiling did not go in to disturb them and left the manor.

    Jun Shiling drove for nearly half an hour and arrived at the ce Bo Xiao had mentioned.

    It was a very hidden hospital. This hospital was not open to the public and was only used internally. Jun Shiling swiped his card and someone brought him in.

    In the innermost room, Jun Shiling saw Bo Xiao. The moment he saw him, Jun Shiling frowned.

    Bo Xiao looked like he had juste out of the examination room. He still had the equipment on his arm.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Bo Xiao nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°Come to the side. I have something to tell you.¡±

    Jun Shiling followed Bo Xiao to the side. ¡°Are you sick?¡±

    Bo Xiao ced a report in front of Jun Shiling. ¡°Do you remember the chip that was taken out of my body a few months ago?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°At that time, we all thought that K controlled and controlled his people through the chip.¡± At this point, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. ¡°However, the hospital has been constantly researching. Later on, we realized that we were looking in the wrong direction.¡±

    Jun Shiling had a bad feeling. He picked up the report and took a look. His thick eyebrows frowned even more.

    Bo Xiao continued to exin to Jun Shiling, ¡°K doesn¡¯t control others through the chip. The doctors extracted an unknown virus inside the chip. They named it the S virus. We haven¡¯tpletely figured out what¡¯s wrong with this virus. From the current situation, it can change a person¡¯s internal cells.¡±

    Humans were made of all sorts of cells. If the virus could rewrite human cells, invade a person¡¯s brain, andpletely control this person, that would be a very terrifying thing.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes gradually darkened as he looked at the document. After a while, he suddenly turned around. ¡°What did you check in the hospital just now?¡±

    Bo Xiao sighed softly. ¡°I recently realized that some of my actions are starting to go out of control. Thinking of this report, I came over to check while An Rao was sleeping at home.¡±

    During this period of time, Bo Xiao would asionally feel that a certain part of his body did not belong to him. At first, he wondered if it was his imagination, but as time passed, he had a bad guess.

    He exercised all year round, so it was impossible for his body to stiffen for no reason.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°After the examination here,e to the manor tomorrow and get Shen Xiu to help you check again.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bo Xiao nodded. ¡°Have you found out who K is?¡±

    Jun Shiling closed the document in his hand. ¡°There¡¯s progress, but it¡¯s still being verified.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t help you much.¡± Bo Xiao looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I know.¡± Jun Shiling stood up. ¡°Rest well. Remember to contact me if anything happens.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡± Bo Xiao nodded slightly at Jun Shiling. They had already been confidants for so many years. There was no need to say anything else.

    Jun Shiling was about to leave when the doctors walked over with Bo Xiao¡¯s examination report.

    The doctors wanted to call Bo Xiao¡¯s military rank, but now that Bo Xiao had retired, they could only call him ¡°Mr. Bo¡±.

    Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks. ¡°How are the results of the checkup?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± The doctor exined to Jun Shiling with the report. ¡°We did detect that some cells in Mr. Bo¡¯s body are mutating and differentiating.¡±

    When the doctor said this, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. He looked at the doctor coldly, and the doctor shrank in fear. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m not done.¡±

    The doctor handed a stack of documents to Jun Shiling. ¡°We used the S-virus to experiment on the white mouse. The white mouse also showed the same mutation as Mr. Bo, but we also discovered that the mutation in the white mouse is unlimited, but Mr. Bo¡¯s body began to stop automatically after a certain extent.¡±

    After discussion, the doctors came to the unanimous conclusion that this S-Virus was not mature enough. It needed some time to hide and grow. Back then, Jun Shiling had gotten someone to remove the chip in Bo Xiao¡¯s body in time and to a certain extent, stopped the virus from spreading into Bo Xiao¡¯s body.

    ¡°So, can the virus in Bo Xiao¡¯s body be controlled?¡± Jun Shiling was most concerned about this question.

    ¡°I¡¯ll try my best, but we can¡¯t guarantee it.¡± Naturally, there were too many unknown viruses in everything. Facing the unknown, no one dared to guarantee it.

    After hearing the doctor¡¯s report, Jun Shiling took away a medical report. Bo Xiao tidied his clothes and followed.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s cold side profile, Bo Xiao subconsciouslyforted him first. ¡°Since the doctor didn¡¯t say that it can¡¯t be controlled, there must be a way.¡±

    Jun Shiling replied, ¡°Are you going home now or?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m going home.¡± Bo Xiao smiled. ¡°My wife and child are warm. An Rao and our little cutie are still waiting for me at home.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling get into his car and drive away.

    Watching Jun Shiling leave, the smile on Bo Xiao¡¯s face gradually disappeared.

    He sat in the car and took out a pack of cigarettes from the gap. The lights were clearly flickering by the car window.

    After a while, his phone rang. It was a call from An Rao.

    Bo Xiao stubbed out his cigarette and picked up the phone. ¡°Tsk tsk, how long have I been out? You¡¯re already checking on me??¡±

    An Raoughed in anger at Bo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°Who¡¯s checking on you? I¡¯m just asking when you¡¯ll be back!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that called checking?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s tone was smiling as he teased An Rao.

    ¡°Up to you.¡± If Bo Xiao was in front of her now, An Rao would definitely bite him. ¡°Then don¡¯te back. You¡¯re so annoying.¡±

    Only then did Bo Xiao stroke An Rao¡¯s fur. ¡°Good girl, good girl. I was wrong.¡±

    He opened WeChat¡¯s video chat mode and shone around. ¡°Come, my little Lian Po. Look, there are no women around, right? I¡¯ll be back in half an hour.¡±

    An Rao looked at him angrily. ¡°I already said that I didn¡¯t check on you!!¡±

    Bo Xiao could not help but smile. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll be back immediately. I¡¯ll bring you phoenix ws, roasted buns, and barbecue, okay?¡±

    An Rao, who had been sessfully bribed by delicious food, swallowed her saliva. ¡°Okay,e back quickly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After hanging up, Bo Xiao started the car and went to the brightly lit street to buy food for An Rao.

    They spent a long time in the hospital. When Jun Shiling returned to the manor, it was already veryte.

    In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were sleeping. Xiao Bao had finally obtained the chance to sleep with Xia Wanyuan. He hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm tightly and buried his face in her neck.

    Jun Shiling went to the side to wash up and change his clothes. When he returned to the bed, Xia Wanyuan was already awake and looking at Jun Shiling with wide eyes.

    Jun Shilingughed. He walked past Xiao Bao and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling¡¯s worried emotions.

    Jun Shiling was a person who rarely revealed his personal emotions. Xia Wanyuan guessed that Jun Shiling had encountered something difficult to resolve.

    Jun Shilingy down under the nket and hugged Xia Wanyuan through Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao felt ufortable and reached out to kick Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling pressed him down and stuffed him back under the nket.

    While he was fighting with Xiao Bao, his right hand on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm was hugged by her.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan hugged his hand and smiled at him. ¡°Goodnight.¡± Then, Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes.

    At this moment, Xiao Bao had also quietened down and stopped struggling. Jun Shiling hugged the mother and son tighter.

    Perhaps the road ahead was long, but as long as they were by his side, there did not seem to be any regrets.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have much business cooperation now. Other than attending sses at Qing University, she spent the rest of her time screening the actors of ¡°Under the Sky¡±.

    Although they were extremely nervous about the quality of the television drama, because this was directed by Xia Wanyuan and invested in by the Jun Corporation, everyone knew that there would definitely be benefits.

    Instantly, the entire entertainment industry wished they could run to Xia Wanyuan.

    Among therge number of actors, Xia Wanyuan picked three main actors.

    However, when the name list was announced, everyone was stunned.

    <i>These three people??? What kind of reasoning was this?</i>

 Chapter 1277 - Casting

    <h4>Chapter 1277: Casting</h4>

    ¡°Under the Sky¡± was different from some traditional television dramas in the past.

    Over the years, Chinese television dramas had mostly been about love between men and women. No matter how ambitious the television drama was, in the end, it would still be reduced to a love drama with lofty intentions.

    The original work of ¡°Under the Sky¡± mainly portrayed three men who grew up in different environments.

    The three youths of the God n, the Human n, and the Demon n gathered at Dian Cang Mountain to cultivate at the same time. After experiencing an ordeal, the three of them inherited the system and finally joined hands to save the world.

    There was naturally love in this novel, but at the same time, friendship, teacher-student rtionship, ssmate rtionship, and the righteousness of the world were equally dazzling in this novel, making one¡¯s heart flutter.

    !!

    Among the three main male actors, only Yan Ci was the more normal casting choice.

    Yan Ci would y the role of the third prince of the human race. He was gentle and refined, and his chest was broad. It matched his temperament very well. He was at the standard agreed upon by book fans.

    However, it was not an exaggeration to say that the other two shocked everyone.

    Because the actor of the crown prince of the Gods was Jun Shiling, a person that no one would think of even if they racked their brains.

    As for the sessor of the devils, he was Xuan Sheng, a person that no one could imagine.

    [??? Is this world magical or am I magical?? It¡¯s already ridiculous enough that Jun Shiling knows how to act in television dramas. Xuan Sheng?? I don¡¯t think I¡¯m awake.]

    [... Shocking the casting of my entire family. As expected, such a situation can only happen when Xia Wanyuan is the director. What kind of godly configuration is this... If nothing goes wrong, no matter how this television drama is filmed, it should be popr.]

    [ I still can¡¯t understand. It¡¯s fine if Jun Shiling acts in this, but Xuan Sheng? Doesn¡¯t Xuan Sheng like Xia Wanyuan? CEO Jun can actually endure acting with his love rival. Amazing. ]

    There was a heated discussion on the Inte. In the production team, Chen Yun and Lu Li were also stunned.

    Xia Wanyuan was very calm, although she did not know why Xuan Sheng hade to the audition.

    However, she only valued the oue. In the end, although Xuan Sheng¡¯s acting skills were not professional, his unique temperament was indeed very simr to the Demon Venerable¡¯s temperament.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan chose him.

    As for Jun Shiling¡¯s casting, it was really because Jun Shiling had used his family status to get in through the back door.

    Jun Shiling was originally not interested in filming any television dramas, but he happened to flip through the script and realized that Xia Wanyuan would guest star as the wife of the crown prince of the god race.

    In addition, he knew that Xuan Sheng had sessfully auditioned and be the actor of the sessor of the devil race.

    How could Jun Shiling be at ease with Xia Wanyuan filming with Xuan Sheng every day? He immediately decided that he wanted to join the production team too.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to object, but the moment she saw Jun Shiling change into his costume, she was stunned.

    Jun Shiling had a noble and restrained temperament. In his costume, he really looked like a god from the sky.

    Xia Wanyuan did not object anymore and chose him.

    After returning to the manor for dinner that night, Jun Shiling carried Xiao Bao to the study to do his homework, then carried Xia Wanyuan into the bedroom.

    ¡°Baby, can we discuss something?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew what Jun Shiling was going to say and stopped him in advance.

    Jun Shiling buried his chin in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and rubbed it. ¡°Baby.¡±

    ¡°How can you be like this? Didn¡¯t I agree to let you join the production team?? What are you worried about?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist in dissatisfaction. ¡°Cut it out.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°Are you still worried that I¡¯ll run?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Jun Shiling believed in Xia Wanyuan, but he just did not like Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze tond on her.

    Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to kiss Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re a magnanimous person, okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted and leaned down to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Glory World Corporation, the assistant handed the contract to Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, Miss Xia has already agreed to cooperate. This is the production team¡¯s contract.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng took the contract and nced at it.

    The assistant sighed silently in his heart, thinking that their CEO Xuan was really miserable.

    <i>Isn¡¯t it good to be the CEO of a corporation? He probably went to act in a television drama just to take a few more nces at Xia Wanyuan.</i>

    <i>What a sin. </i>

    ¡°CEO Xuan, Xia Wanyuan and the rest have also announced a few other candidates for the main lead. One of them is Jun Shiling.¡± At this point, the assistant only had one thought. Xia Wanyuan was indeed a big shot to be able to get someone like Jun Shiling over, but in this way, their CEO Xuan was in trouble.

    ¡°It¡¯s expected.¡± Xuan Sheng was not surprised at all. ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s possessive personality, it would be strange if he did note.

    After saying this, Xuan Sheng suddenly thought of something. ¡°How¡¯s Feng Wuyou?¡±

    Chu Yi had attacked too quickly, so much so that he did not give anyone a chance to react. Xuan Sheng had even bought a ne ticket to America, but bad news had already arrived.

    ¡°Chu Yi brought Miss Feng¡¯s body back to Continent F. Other news has been blocked,¡± the assistant reported in detail.

    ¡°Pfft.¡± A hint of mockery appeared in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. ¡°She¡¯s already dead. Who is he pretending to be?¡±

    Xuan Sheng was a man, so he could naturally tell that there was a light in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes that he had not noticed.

    However, who would have thought that Chu Yi would really be so ruthless? He actually uprooted the Feng family and left nothing behind.

    ¡°Alright, you can leave first. Tell me if there¡¯s any news.¡±

    After the assistant left, Xuan Sheng picked up the contract in front of him and looked at it.

    Just as the outside world had guessed, he was indeed not interested in television dramas. He mainly wanted to be closer to Xia Wanyuan. He had never thought of disturbing her. It was fine to take a look.

    However, when he thought of what his assistant had just said about Chu Yi, Xuan Sheng¡¯s originally longing expression turned into pain.

    Feng Wuyou was the only friend he had identally made overseas, but he had not even seen her for thest time.

    At this moment, in Continent F, Chu Yi was working in the study. Su Yao stood outside and looked into the distance.

    Over the past few days, Su Yao had be the only woman who had been left behind. The butler had high hopes for her. ¡°Miss Su, Young Master usually likes to drink a little plum wine at this time. Why don¡¯t you bring him a ss?¡±

    Hearing the plum wine, Su Yao¡¯s expression did not change, but her heart ached.

    She used to like plum wine the most.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get it now.¡±

    Soon, Su Yao came over with a ss of wine. The butler gave her a look and Su Yao knocked on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    Under the butler¡¯s gratified gaze, Su Yao walked in.

    This was the first time Su Yao had entered Chu Yi¡¯s study.

    The furnishings in the study were very different from what Su Yao had imagined. It was not as domineering and wild as Su Yao had thought, but very simple.

    Chu Yi looked up at Su Yao. ¡°Look up at me.¡±

    Su Yao looked at Chu Yi with her ss-like eyes. Chu Yi¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    These eyes were too simr, but other than these eyes, there was nothing else that looked like Feng Wuyou.

    ¡°In the future, you¡¯re not allowed to lower your head in front of me. You have to look straight at me, understand?¡±

    Su Yao was stunned for a moment before nodding. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Come here. What did you take?¡±

    Su Yao brought the plum wine over. Chu Yi smelled a faint wine fragrance. He reached for the wine ss and handed it to Su Yao. ¡°Drink it.¡±

    Su Yao looked troubled. ¡°Young Master, I don¡¯t know how to drink.¡±

    Chu Yi frowned. ¡°I told you to drink it.¡±

    Su Yao pursed her lips and took a sip of wine. Then, she choked and coughed.

    Looking at Su Yao¡¯s coughing and flushed face, a hint of disappointment shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Su Yao coughed lightly as she walked towards Chu Yi. Caught off guard, Chu Yi pulled her over and wrapped her around hisp.

    Su Yao¡¯s face flushed red and her eyshes fluttered. She pushed Chu Yi in embarrassment. ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t be like this.¡±

    Chu Yi ced a hand on her waist and pulled her closer. ¡°How is it? Just sit here and watch me work.¡±

    With that, Chu Yi focused on the document in front of her, as if he really did not have any other thoughts.

    Su Yao carefully nced at Chu Yi, then lowered her head and nced at the things on the document.

    With just a nce, Su Yao was stunned.

    At that moment, all sorts of information about Xia Wanyuan was written on the document, as well as all sorts of ancient cultural relics. From the looks of it, that era seemed to be a thousand years ago.

    Sensing Su Yao¡¯s shock, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°Why? Do you know this person?¡±

    Su Yao clenched her fists slightly and nodded.

    The moment she nodded, she sensitively realized that Chu Yi was holding her waist more tightly.

    ¡°Of course I do.¡± Su Yao looked at Chu Yi innocently. ¡°Xia Wanyuan, isn¡¯t she that famous actress? I¡¯ve seen the movie she acted in.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Chu Yi replied calmly and did not ask further. He continued to flip through the documents in his hand.

    Su Yao felt a little frustrated by Chu Yi¡¯s question. She did not look at the document in Chu Yi¡¯s hand anymore. She sat quietly and obediently.

    She was theplete opposite of Feng Wuyou, because Feng Wuyou could not sit still at all. If she were to sit obediently for ten minutes, it would be as if she was going to die.

    An hourter, for some reason, Chu Yi suddenly pushed her off hisp. Su Yao lost her bnce and almost fell to the ground.

    Chu Yi¡¯s expression did not look good. His side profile was cold. ¡°Go out and bring everything out.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Young Master.¡± Although an awkward blush shed across Su Yao¡¯s face, there was no anger. She lowered her head, picked up her things, and walked out.

    After Su Yao disappeared at the door, Chu Yi grabbed the document in his hand and threw it aside.

    After a while, Chu Yi stood up and removed an ancient painting on the wall. Behind the ancient painting was an ancient mechanism.

    Chu Yi hid his hand in the mechanism and entered something.

    With a crack, the entire wall split into two.

    Chu Yi walked into the wall and it closed again.

    Inside was a long corridor. Chu Yi walked for a long time, passing countless stone doors in the middle before finally reaching the innermost room.

    The room inside was quite empty. There was only a young and handsome man lying in a huge coffin in the middle.

    This man had long hair and was wearing ancient clothes. He slept quietly, as if he was emitting a thick historical charm.

    Around the coffin were many strange words. On the topyer of the coffin, there were all sorts of rare treasures and ancient artifacts.

    Chu Yi took out the information in his hand andpared it to the cultural relics on the coffin. His eyes darkened.

    It was actually the same. Even the patterns could bepletely matched.

    Looking at the young man in the coffin, Chu Yi¡¯s eyes darkened. It was unknown what he was thinking.

    Half an hourter, Chu Yi walked out of the basement and returned to the study.

    At that moment, Su Yao happened to enter with a cup. Chu Yi looked up at her. ¡°Get out.¡±

    Su Yao was already very used to Chu Yi¡¯s unpredictable temper. She raised the cup in her hand. ¡°Young Master, I¡¯m here to bring you tea.¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, I don¡¯t want to see you again in three seconds,¡± Chu Yi said without looking up.

    Su Yao¡¯s eyes flickered, but in the end, she closed the door and left the room.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The manor.

    It had been a long time since An Rao hade to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. Now that she heard that Xia Wanyuan wanted to be a director herself, An Rao pulled Bo Xiao over and asked Xia Wanyuan to arrange a role for her.

    ¡°Wow!! I once had a dream that my best friend could be a director, and then I could use my connections.¡± An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Now, this dream has finallye true. Wanyuan, I want to use connections!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ced the script in front of An Rao. ¡°In this, there¡¯s a character that suits you quite well. Take a look.¡±

    An Rao took the script and looked at it seriously. Her eyes lit up and she hugged Xia Wanyuan happily. ¡°Sister, I knew you loved me the most.¡±

    At this moment, Bo Xiao walked over with Xiao Qingli. Seeing An Rao¡¯s silly expression, Bo Xiao shook his head helplessly.

    An Rao had not seen Xia Wanyuan for too long. Now that she had endless things to say, Bo Xiao could only bring Xiao Qingli and Xiao Bao to the side to y.

    However, not long after, Xiao Qingli¡¯s earth-shattering cries came from Bo Xiao¡¯s side.

    An Rao and Xia Wanyuan hurriedly went over to take a look.

    On the other side of the sofa, Bo Xiao was coaxing the child. He looked up and looked at An Rao apologetically. ¡°You guys talk. I didn¡¯t hug him just now and let him fall. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine.¡±

    An Rao instructed Bo Xiao to take good care of the child before returning to chat with Xia Wanyuan.

    After An Rao and the rest left, Bo Xiao frowned and rubbed his elbow.

    For a moment, he lost consciousness there.

    An Rao did not notice Bo Xiao¡¯s abnormality, but Xia Wanyuan did. <i>Bo Xiao had always been a very meticulous person. How could he make such a mistake? </i>

    Hence, the moment Jun Shiling returned home that night, Xia Wanyuan asked him bluntly, ¡°Did something happen to Bo Xiao?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Yes, but now that we¡¯ve found a solution, we¡¯re about to send someone out to get the antidote.¡±

 Chapter 1278 - Antiquities from the Past Life

    <h4>Chapter 1278: Antiquities from the Past Life</h4>

    ¡°Antidote? What do you mean?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan aside. ¡°It can¡¯t be considered an antidote. I can only say that I discovered a certain antibody in Continent F and am preparing to send someone to retrieve it for the medical team to study. As long as there are antibodies, it will be much easier to study how to eliminate the virus.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was originally very worried, but seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s calm expression, she felt a little relieved.

    ¡°Then An Rao doesn¡¯t know, right?¡±

    Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°Perhaps. Alright, don¡¯t think about this anymore.¡± Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°You worry so much every day. Don¡¯t you feel tired?¡±

    !!

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Get up. I¡¯m going to read the script.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the study. I still have work to do.¡±

    The news that Jun Shiling was going to act in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television drama quickly spread online.

    Basically, all thements were belittling.

    [ I think Jun Shiling is getting worse the more he lives... He doesn¡¯t want to be the richest man and is fooling around with Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ Tsk tsk, must a man in love be so scary... I heard that Xuan Sheng is even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fanatical suitor. How is Xia Wanyuan filming a television drama? She¡¯s saving up her harem. ]

    Although the domesticizens had someints about Xia Wanyuan changing careers to be a director, it did not mean that they were willing to see Xia Wanyuan being casually criticized by people from other countries.

    There was immediately another anti-fan battle.

    In Beijing Hospital, Xia Yu stood in front of the window. Lin Yi sat in front of the bed and looked at his back against the light.

    ¡°Have you decided?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded. ¡°I¡¯m more familiar with Continent F. Furthermore, I went to that desert alone back then. No one else is as familiar with the situation as me.¡±

    The higher-ups did not want Xia Yu to know that they were going to Continent F for a mission. After all, Lin Yi¡¯s situation was here, and Xia Yu had just returned from a dangerous ce.

    However, Xia Yu found out about this from somewhere and volunteered to go to Continent F.

    Lin Yi pursed her lips. ¡°I want to go with you.¡±

    Xia Yu turned around. ¡°No, your body hasn¡¯t recovered yet.¡±

    Lin Yi sighed slightly in his heart. ¡°Then be careful.¡±

    Xia Yu replied.

    This matter was imminent, so that afternoon, Xia Yu packed his things and boarded a ne to Continent F, leaving China.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sent him off at the airport together. Looking at the ne gradually leaving, a hint of emotion shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    At this timest year, Xia Yu was still an awkward child. In just a year, he had grown into a man who could support the world.

    ¡°Xia Yu has a few first-ss members of the cheetah team with him. He¡¯ll be fine.¡± Jun Shiling tried his best tofort Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I have something to tell you. Follow me to thepany to meet a few peopleter.¡±

    An hourter, Xia Wanyuan sat in the Jun Corporation¡¯s office. Looking at the few people sitting in front of her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion.

    ¡°You are?¡±

    ¡°Hello, Madam Jun.¡± The few people in front of her looked a little reserved. They were wearing simple clothes, but their eyes were very clear. ¡°We¡¯re residents of Fallen Phoenix Mountain in the West.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan remembered that ce.

    Back then, when the entire production team of ¡°Eldest Princess¡± was filming there, an actress died mysteriously there.

    ¡°We came here mainly to give this to you.¡±

    As the vigers spoke, they pushed arge bag in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned when she saw it, because the things in this package were basically antiques from her previous life.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at them carefully again. Those things were all items she was very familiar with in her previous life.

    Xia Wanyuan was even more puzzled. ¡°Where did you find these things??¡±

    The vigers handed a photo to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°On the mountainside where we live, someone went up the mountain to cut firewood and identally fell into a very deep hole. When he was saved, he was carrying these.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the name of the mountain?¡±

    ¡°Long Qi Mountain.¡±

    <i>Long Qi Mountain.?</i>Xia Wanyuan repeated this name in her heart and felt that it was a little strange.

    ¡°Do you remember where that cave is?¡±

    The vigers shook their heads. ¡°Later on, we went back to look, but we couldn¡¯t find that cave. The people who looked for us went down and tried, but they couldn¡¯t find the way in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended on the thing in front of her. After a while, she looked up. ¡°Thank you foring. I¡¯ll get someone to get you a bonuster.¡±

    When the vigers heard that there was a bonus, their eyes lit up and they left happily.

    After they left, Jun Shiling walked in.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°How did you find them?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you exchange some things from the antique shopst time? I got someone to find these people through the sales channel. Are these things from your previous life?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. The things in this bag were not only from her previous life, but also specially used by emperors. This was a ritual that only her younger brother was qualified to use when he was buried.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but guess.?<i>Could it be that my younger brother was buried there back then?</i>

    <i>However, how was that possible? The Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s territory was in the north. At that time, the south had not been developed at all.</i>

    <i>Furthermore, wherever the previous rulers were buried, they followed their ancestor¡¯s tomb.</i>

    <i>No matter what, these things should not appear in Linxi City.?</i>

    Xia Wanyuan did not understand.

    Jun Shiling walked over and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to dig again and see if we can find more things in that mountain. Don¡¯t worry, okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. Her heart felt a little empty for no reason. ¡°Jun Shiling, do you think I¡¯ll find the coffins of my rtives in this era?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps.¡± Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. He could understand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current mood.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, on Long Qi Mountain,

    A few frightened birds suddenly flew out of the quiet mountain.

    A few people crawled out of the ground, their faces covered in dust.

    ¡°Pfft, if not for the fact that I was given a lot of money, I wouldn¡¯t have suffered like this. This lousy ce is really difficult to fill.¡±

    ¡°I wonder if the person paying is crazy. Why must he block this cave?? I didn¡¯t see anything valuable inside. It¡¯s just a pile of scrap metal. No one is willing to take it out to sell trash.¡±

    ¡°Alright, quickly report to the other party. Let¡¯s take the money and leave.¡±

    After the few of thempletely climbed out of the ground, they went to the side and dug soil to fill the hole,pletely burying the entire hole.

    Soon, people in Continent F learned of this news.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± The assistant walked to the study upstairs and carefully knocked on the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡±

    The assistant walked in and lowered his head very carefully. Chu Yi¡¯s temper had been too changeable recently. He was afraid that he would see something he shouldn¡¯t see and anger Chu Yi.

    ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s news from there. The traces have been destroyed.¡±

    Chu Yi was looking at the thumb ring in his hand with a magnifying ss. When he heard this, he looked up. ¡°No one noticed, right?¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling seems to have sent someone to Longqi Mountain, but they missed. We got someone to bury all the holes in the ground.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. ¡°Strictly seal this news. If any of it is leaked¡­¡±

    ¡°I understand, Young Master.¡± The assistant¡¯s expression turned cold.

    ¡°Alright, you can leave. Bring Su Yao over.¡± Chu Yi waved his hand and gestured for his assistant to leave.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, Su Yao arrived.

    Hearing footsteps, Chu Yi looked up at Su Yao. ¡°Why don¡¯t you wear the red dress I prepared for you?¡±

    Su Yao pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, looking a little delicate. ¡°Young Master, that dress is too gorgeous. I don¡¯t like it very much. I like to wear white dresses.¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s eagle-like sharp eyes nced at Su Yao. ¡°I said, I told you to change into that red dress. Didn¡¯t you hear me?¡±

    Su Yao clenched her fists in her sleeves, but she had a smile on her face. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll change now.¡±

    Ten minutester, the sound of high heels sounded at the door.

    Chu Yi looked up and his pupils constricted.

    Su Yao was wearing a bright red dress, fiery red lips, and her hair was slightly curled.

    Her facial features were clearly different from Feng Wuyou¡¯s, and even her expression was not the same. Feng Wuyou was always wanton and ostentatious, while Su Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with shyness.

    However, Chu Yi had a strong feeling that Su Yao was very simr to Feng Wuyou.

    Chu Yi¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse as he put down the thing in his hand. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Su Yao looked at Chu Yi innocently and slowly walked towards him.

    Chu Yi reached out and pulled Su Yao into his arms. He held Su Yao¡¯s chin with his hand. ¡°Call me.¡±

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°No, call me Chu Yi.¡±

    Su Yao looked into Chu Yi¡¯s eyes in a daze. At that moment, those beautiful eyes seemed to have a painful sorrow that tugged at Su Yao¡¯s heart.

    Su Yao was wondering what Chu Yi was mourning for.?<i>Could it be that he missed me? Ridiculous.?</i>

    ¡°Call me.¡± Chu Yi tightened his grip on Su Yao¡¯s chin.

    Su Yao blinked. ¡°Young Master, I don¡¯t dare. You¡¯re hurting me.¡±

    ¡°Just call me when I tell you to.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with impatience. He almost crushed Su Yao¡¯s chin.

    Su Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears of pain. She pushed Chu Yi¡¯s arm. ¡°Young Master¡­ Chu¡­ Chu Yi.¡±

    Before Su Yao could finish speaking, she saw Chu Yi¡¯s facial features rapidly erge in front of her. In the next second, a touch of warmthnded on her mouth.

    Before she could react, Chu Yi had already entered.

    There was a despair and pain that she could not understand.

    Su Yao began to struggle fiercely, but the more she struggled, the more excited Chu Yi seemed to be.

    Later on, Su Yao simply stopped struggling and even began to respond to Chu Yi.

    As she had expected, the moment she began to respond, Chu Yi seemed to have reacted. He left Su Yao¡¯s lips and frowned at her. ¡°Get out.¡±

    Su Yao clenched her fists and climbed onto Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder. Her voice was soft. ¡°Young Master ~¡±

    Chu Yi became even more disgusted and pushed Su Yao away. Fortunately, she had expected this and grabbed the desk in advance. Otherwise, she would have been pushed to the ground by Chu Yi like before.

    ¡°You can¡¯te in without my permission.¡± After Chu Yi finished speaking, he took a tissue and wiped his mouth fiercely. He even rinsed his mouth in front of Su Yao.

    ¡°¡­¡± Looking at Chu Yi¡¯s crazy behavior, Su Yao was speechless. A hint of disgust shed across her eyes, but her voice was still as sweet as ever. ¡°Okay, Young Master.¡±

    With that, Su Yao slowly left the study.

    Looking at Su Yao and Feng Wuyou¡¯spletely different backs, Chu Yi frowned.

    Why did they give me the same feeling when they were clearly twopletely different people? It even made my actions a little out of control.

    <i>Something was wrong.?</i>

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. He made a call and the other party quickly picked up. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Go and investigate if Feng Wuyou and Su Yao are the same person.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the call was hung up, Chu Yi sat in the study and quietly looked out the window to think. After some time, Chu Yi finally turned around and made another call.

    ¡°Hello, this is Chu Yi. I have something to discuss with you.¡±

    At the same time, in Continent F, Wei Zimu was talking to Yu Qian when Yu Qian suddenly picked up a call.

    The other party only said a sentence, but Yu Qian¡¯s expression was a little strange.

    ¡°I¡¯m naturally willing to ept Young Master Chu¡¯s invitation. Alright, see you then.¡±

    Hearing the words Young Master Chu, Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Chu Yi?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian nodded and threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond. Then, he stood up. ¡°Go and inform Jayce toe with me.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to let me go with you this time?¡± Wei Zimu subconsciously asked.

    Yu Qian turned around and looked at Wei Zimu with a faint smile. ¡°Brother, did you integrate so well here? Do you even care who I bring along?¡±

    Wei Zimu was stunned by Yu Qian¡¯s words. He looked straight at Yu Qian. ¡°I¡¯m just asking out of concern.¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Then thank you for your concern, Brother. You don¡¯t have to go this time. I¡¯ll go myself. You can just be in charge of the base.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned and left.

    Yu Qian left immediately and quickly left the base with Jayce.

    Now, Wei Zimu had considerable power in the entire base. No one would stop him wherever he went.

    He walked to Yu Qian¡¯sboratory. When the guards saw that it was Wei Zimu, they let him in.

    Five minutester, Wei Zimu walked out of theboratory.

    In China, the staff in charge of surveying Longqi Mountain returned empty-handed. Although Xia Wanyuan was a little disappointed, she did not continue to dwell on it since she could not survey it.

    Jun Shiling went out from noon and did not return until nine in the evening. Xia Wanyuan was about to call Jun Shiling to ask when the butler came forward.

    ¡°Madam, Young Master sent Special Assistant Lin to pick you up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Sitting in Lin Jing¡¯s car, Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s sote. Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know the details. Young Master asked me toe over. Madam, you¡¯ll know when you arrive.¡± Although Lin Jing felt that he was quite good at guessing Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts, Lin Jing had never understood Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts when it came to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied. She recalled all sorts of important times with Jun Shiling in her mind, but in the end, she did not understand what Jun Shiling was going to do today.

    Lin Jing drove and arrived at a vi in the suburbs of Beijing about an hourter.

    This was the house Xia Wanyuan had lived in when she first arrived in the modern world. Now, the vi was brightly lit. Through the car window, Xia Wanyuan could see Jun Shiling standing not far away.

    Lin Jing opened the car door for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Madam, please.¡±

    At the door, Jun Shiling took a few steps forward and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°What is this? Is this the little romance you prepared?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak. When she walked into the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan saw endless roses and sparkling diamonds hanging above every rose.

    ¡°This is?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling, who covered her eyes with his hand.

    In the darkness, Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling approaching her. The heat spread to her ears, and Jun Shiling¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Baby, happy birthday.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan blinked. ¡°Is today my birthday?¡±

    ¡°Mm, are you stupid? You even forgot your birthday.¡±

    There had been too many things happening recently. Now, Xia Wanyuan had long forgotten, but Jun Shiling remembered it clearly.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± A small dimple appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her dimple.

    ¡°It¡¯s your birthday. Can you promise me something?¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. At this moment, fireworks began to burn in all directions of the vi.

    Fireworks that were as dazzling as jade trees exploded, dyeing the entire sky white.

    Beside her wererge bouquets of roses, and countless diamonds sparkled under the light of the fireworks.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to say that it was very beautiful when Jun Shiling knelt on one knee in front of her.

    ¡°Today, other than making up for your birthday, I also have to make up for this.¡±

    As Jun Shiling spoke, he took out a velvet box from his pocket. When the box was opened, a very beautiful diamond ringy inside.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling could be considered an old couple now.

    However, at this moment, seeing Jun Shiling kneeling on one knee and holding the diamond ring, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes could not help but turn red.

    ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± Xia Wanyuan chided. ¡°We¡¯re already married.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve wanted to do it for a long time.¡± Jun Shiling looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Are you willing to marry me?¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips could not help but curl up. ¡°Mm, yes.¡±

    Jun Shiling took out the diamond ring and put it on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°After agreeing to my proposal, wait obediently to be my bride.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved up. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up and carried Xia Wanyuan to the swing at the side. ¡°I still remember sitting here and reading back then.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought back. At that time, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold, as if he was afraid that she would give Xiao Bao food. He stood at the door and looked at her like a demon.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°From then on, you had ulterior motives.¡±

    Now that he thought about it, with Jun Shiling¡¯s personality, if he was not interested, it was impossible for him to waste the entire afternoon sitting beside Xia Wanyuan and reading documents. Although he was silent for the entire afternoon, it was abnormal for Jun Shiling to appear in the garden.

    Jun Shiling did not deny it, but pulled Xia Wanyuan closer.

    At this moment, the fireworks had already fallen and the sky was filled with bright stars. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling leaned against each other, enjoying this rare peace.

    On the other side of the city, looking at the person standing by the window, the assistant felt that before Xuan Sheng became autistic, he might have to be autistic first.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, this is what you wanted.¡± The assistant ced the cake on the table.

    Xuan Sheng turned around and took a look. ¡°Go. I¡¯ll give you a break today. Your sry will be tripled.¡±

    Although he should be happy, the assistant was not happy at all. ¡°CEO Xuan, you¡­¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Go back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant had no choice but to leave first.

    In the room, Xuan Sheng lit a candle for the cake and blew it out himself. He made a wish in the air.

    ¡°Happy birthday, be happy and healthy.¡±

    Although Xuan Sheng had told his assistant to go back early, the assistant was really worried.

    He had followed Xuan Sheng for so long and knew very well that every time he encountered something about Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng would lose control. The assistant was worried that something would happen to Xuan Sheng if he was left alone here.

    After Xuan Sheng made his wish, he looked up. Seeing that his assistant had not left, he waved and gestured for his assistant toe over.

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± The assistant wanted to say something but hesitated.

    ¡°Come, share a piece.¡± Xuan Sheng cut a piece of cake and handed it to his assistant. ¡°Today is a happy day. Come and eat a piece of cake too.¡±

    Thank you, CEO Xuan.¡± The assistant took the cake, but he did not have the appetite to eat it.

    Xuan Sheng looked a little interested. He, who had always been uninterested in desserts, ate more today.

    ¡°Look at you frowning. Those who don¡¯t know might think that you¡¯ve fallen out of love.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled. The earrings shone darkly under the light.

    ¡°It¡¯s her birthday today. I¡¯m happy. Arrange for itter. I¡¯ll give every employee two hundred yuan for the holidays today,¡± Xuan Sheng took a bite of the cake and instructed his assistant.

    Looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s smiling face,

    For some reason, the assistant, a 1.8-meter-tall man, wanted to cry.

    To be honest, Xuan Sheng¡¯s reputation outside was not good. However, after following Xuan Sheng for so long, the assistant really felt that Xuan Sheng was not as bad as the outside world said.

    He was also a pitiful person, a person who pursued light bitterly but could only stay in the darkness.

    Xuan Sheng nced at his assistant and knew what he was thinking. However, he was not angry. ¡°I¡¯m done eating. Take out this cake and bring me a bottle of red wine.¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± The assistant wanted to persuade Xuan Sheng not to drink, but on second thought, he had never sessfully interfered with Xuan Sheng¡¯s thoughts.

    Hence, the assistant tidied up the remaining cake and brought in a bottle of red wine for Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng opened the bottle cap and waved at his assistant. ¡°Go out and close the door. Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen to me. She told me to live well.¡±

    The assistant sighed in his heart, then nodded and closed the door when he left the room.

    Xuan Sheng did not take a wine ss and drank a few mouthfuls from the bottle.

    At this moment, his phone rang. It was a special notification.

    He clicked on it and saw that Xia Wanyuan had posted a new post.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°Every year.¡±

    The apanying photo was of two people holding hands.

    Xia Wanyuan did not often show off her love on Weibo. Once her Weibo post was posted, arge number ofizens immediately came to watch.

    [ Tsk, tsk, tsk. Xia Wanyuan is finally willing to show off her love to CEO Jun. I, a CP fan, wait for the moon every day. Seriously. ]

    [ Today seems to be Xia Wanyuan¡¯s birthday!!! Happy birthday, goddess!! I¡¯m relieved to see that your rtionship with CEO Jun is still so good. With you around, I can always believe in love. ]

    [ Oh, my male fan¡¯s heart is broken again. May I ask why there¡¯s only one Xia Wanyuan in the world??? Jun Shiling¡¯s hatred for snatching my wife is irreconcble. ]

    Xuan Sheng casually scrolled through thements. Although there were a few teasing, most of them were praising Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship.

    As he drank, he scrolled through thements on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo.

    He did not know what he was looking at, as if he was borrowing theizens¡¯ments to tell himself howpatible Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were.

    After looking for a long time, the wine bottle in Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand was already empty.

    He threw the wine bottle aside and pulled the nket beside him to cover himself. He curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling did not sleep the entire night.

    It was not that they were doing something inappropriate for children, but on a whim, Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling to design their wedding clothes.

    Ever sincest year, Xia Wanyuan had had this thought, but she had always been too busy. Coincidentally, tonight was a rare opportunity.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s concept wasplicated and detailed. After drawing for the entire night, she could only design a sleeve picture of the wedding dress.

    Xia Wanyuan had designed it ording to the specifications of the Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s royal marriage. After painting, she saw that so many precious materials were needed on just a sleeve.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little hesitant. After all, it was the modern world. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too high-profile??¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at it and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Are you stupid?¡±

    ¡°??¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the design.¡±

    What Jun Shiling did not tell Xia Wanyuan was that the wedding he had prepared for her was far more grand and luxurious than the design of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wedding dress.

    Jun Shiling did not care if others said that he was extravagant or wasteful, let alone how much he spent. He only wanted to give Xia Wanyuan an unprecedented wedding.

    Only the most luxurious and grand wedding could be worthy of her in his heart.

    Since Jun Shiling had said so, Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate anymore and continued to draw the painting in her hand.

    ¡ª¡ª

    During this period of time, not only did the vigers of Phoenix Mountain discover those inexplicable ancient items, but other ces in Linxi City also discovered some cultural relics that were not in history.

    As the most authoritative university in the south, Nancheng University naturally epted these cultural relics and sent a team of experts to specially study these items.

 Chapter 1282 - The Most Talkative Princess

    <h4>Chapter 1282: The Most Talkative Princess</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    As the best university in the south and the best liberal arts university in China, Nancheng University naturally formed apetitive rtionship with Qing University.

    The rtionship between the two families was already very tense. Because Xia Wanyuan had joined Qing University, the strength of the liberal arts department of Qing University had rapidly increased, and its reputation had also rapidly increased.

    In this year¡¯s college entrance examination enrollment, Nancheng University clearly felt the huge difference from the past.

    In the past years, Qing University had dominated with the most outstanding science students in China. Nancheng University had dominated with the most outstanding humanities students in China. This bnce had always been maintained.

    However, it could not be like this this year.

    In science, the Qing University naturally had a very deep history. The students naturally ran there.

    In the literature department, Qing University had Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan could be considered a national idol now. Fans had a strong desire to follow their idols.

    In addition, the Qing University had created a set of sses with Xia Wanyuan as the core of publicity. Her sses and standards were there.

    Inparison, Nancheng Universitycked such a signature celebrity teacher.

    This year¡¯s enrollment was basically those who could not get into Qing University.

    It was not that the students were not outstanding, but Qing University and Nancheng University had alwayspeted in parallel. Now that Nancheng University was suppressed by Qing University, they were naturally indignant.

    The reason why Nancheng University valued these ancient cultural relics discovered in Linxi City so much was not only because it might be a new dynasty and civilization, but also because Xia Wanyuan had once madements about this suspected new dynasty in many public ces.

    ¡°I believe everyone knows the situation this year.¡± In the meeting room of Nancheng University, the director was analyzing the situation this year with everyone. ¡°If the situation continues, we don¡¯t have to work next year. Let¡¯s go home and farm.¡±

    ¡°But that Xia Wanyuan is really aggressive.¡± Everyone was very helpless.

    Last year, he had wanted to use the thesis to defeat Xia Wanyuan. Who would have thought that the youngdy was so young and had such strong academic ability? She could not do anything to her at all.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to take down Xia Wanyuan at once.¡± The director took a sip of tea. ¡°Fame and trust are all consumed, especially someone as famous as Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    It was easy to break if it was too harsh. For people who had just started, everyone would be more tolerant. Instead, for people like Xia Wanyuan, who had already be a god, everyone would often consciously crown her with the perfect hat.

    Once everyone realized that this person was not as perfect as they had imagined, there would be no inclusiveness.

    ]Everyone present understood what the director meant.

    When Xia Wanyuan wasmunicating with Ennd, she had already made manyments about the new history dynasty, attracting the interest of many people.

    Now, he could use this opportunity to question Xia Wanyuan¡¯s academic ability.

    However, they had already made a preliminary discovery. Someone questioned, ¡°But based on our current research results, what Xia Wanyuan said is very likely right.¡±

    The director looked at the person who asked the question unhappily.

    ¡°Is that pile of dead people or our Nancheng University¡¯s future more important? What¡¯s so important about that dynasty? Without that dynasty, can¡¯t we live?¡±

    ¡°But¡­¡± Some of the teachers present were in this profession, so they naturally knew how much it would affect the history field if they unearthed a new dynasty.

    ¡°But what but?¡± The director had just been scolded by the leader and was furious as he looked at the teachers in front of him. ¡°Either get lost or do as I say! The research results are that this dynasty doesn¡¯t exist. Those things are only modern handicrafts, understand?!¡±

    Everyone was silent. Most schrs had some integrity, although they had been in this society for a long time and were much more tactful.

    However, such a lie was still difficult for everyone to ept.

    The director had long known these people¡¯s bad tempers. He threw the sry and benefits form on the table.

    ¡°Look at your monthly benefits yourself. If you don¡¯t want it, you can leave now. No one will stop you.¡±

    Gradually, some people began topromise. Just like the domino effect, with the first and second, there were countless others.

    In the end, everyone reluctantlypromised.

    ¡°Go.¡± The director held his teacup and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to cooperate with the news.¡±

    Nancheng University had a deep history. As an academic base in the south, there were naturally arge number of people and organizations supporting it.

    Among them, the Lin family was the most important, and the Lin family had the closest rtionship with them.

    Although Lin Qingyuan had been abroad a few years ago, the amount of money he transferred to Nancheng University every year was quiterge.

    When the matters in Nancheng reached Lin Qingyuan, Lin Qingyuan only said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    At the same time, the major media newspapers belonging to the southern department began to support Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone could clearly feel that there had been more reports about Xia Wanyuan recently.

    They were all saying that Xia Wanyuan could achieve so much at such a young age.

    There were even many media outlets who called Xia Wanyuan the strongest master of the generation,paring her to the most famous masters in Chinese history.

    ia Wanyuan quickly realized this inexplicable public opinion.

    ¡°Wanyuan, aren¡¯t these words a little inappropriate??¡± Chen Yun looked at the reports on the news in confusion.

    Although he knew that Xia Wanyuan was quite amazing, she wasparable to all the previous masters.?<i>Wasn¡¯t this a little too arrogant??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and knew that someone was adding fuel to the fire. ¡°Just wait.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Wait for what?¡±

    ¡°Wait for their true goal.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked calm.

    Chen Yun was a boor and did not understand these things. Since Xia Wanyuan said that it was nothing, he did not ask further. ¡°Then let¡¯s not talk about this. The production team is already prepared. When do you think it¡¯s better to start filming?¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down the newspaper in her hand and stood up.

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll inform them.¡±

    Even before filming began, this production team had already received almost the entire Inte¡¯s attention.

    Hence, on the day of filming, everyone waited with the same mood to watch the gossip.

    Everyone silently looked forward to seeing a bloody scene.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise,

    There was a strange silence. Yan Ci quietly filmed and did not speak. Other than having lines when acting opposite each other, Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng treated each other as air.

    The others in the production team were careful and trembling, afraid of angering the big shots.

    In the end, the person who spoke the most in the entire production team was Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 1283 - Fifteen Years of Love

    <h4>Chapter 1283: Fifteen Years of Love</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor:</strong>As Studios<strong>Editor:</strong>As Studios</h4>

    The usually lively Lu Li was a little silent this time. She secretly pulled Chen Yun¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Brother Chen, are you afraid?¡±

    The corners of Chen Yun¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Aren¡¯t you talking nonsense?¡±

    Jun Shiling was only easier to talk to in front of Xia Wanyuan, and did not look arrogant. In front of others, he was not called the living King of Hell for nothing.

    Probably because Xuan Sheng was also present, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned even colder.

    On the first day of the production team, the entire atmosphere was basically frozen.

    Finally, after filming the first day¡¯s scenes, Xia Wanyuan called it a day and the others slipped away quickly.

    Xuan Sheng nced at Xia Wanyuan and shook his head helplessly. Then, he packed his things and left the production team.

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan like a god.

    Xia Wanyuan found it a little funny. She pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Why are you still sitting here?¡±

    Jun Shiling was pulled up by Xia Wanyuan, his face clearly saying that he was unhappy. ¡°I knew I couldn¡¯t let you guys be on the same production team.¡±

    For the entire day, Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze was basically on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling. ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise me not to be jealous?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Agreeing was one thing, but seeing it at the scene was another.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Don¡¯t keep pulling a long face. Look, everyone else is frightened by you.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak. Xia Wanyuan knew that he was unhappy.

    After all, if she were in Jun Shiling¡¯s position, she would definitely have a grudge.

    At this moment, most of the staff had left. Xia Wanyuan walked forward and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist, whispering a few words into his ear.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression softened visibly, and the smile on his lips secretly curled up. ¡°You¡¯ve changed.¡±

    Puzzlement shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°How did I change?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve be sweet.¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out. ¡°You didn¡¯t have such a sweet mouth in the past.¡±

    There was a smile on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°I learned it from you. Then can you not be so cold tomorrow? Look, everyone else is afraid.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist tightly. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s side profile, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with warmth.

    Actually, Jun Shiling was very domineering in many aspects.

    However, this was probably the case between husband and wife. Although both parties had some shorings, as long as they were willing to give in to each other, their rtionship would not be damaged.

    Jun Shiling also had ws. He was a human and not a god, especially when it came to her problems. Sometimes, in the eyes of others, he might be too stubborn.

    However, every time she suggested it, Jun Shiling was willing to amodate her.

    This had always warmed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, Jun Shiling turned to look at her. ¡°What are you thinking? Why are you looking at me like that?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°I miss you.¡±

    Jun Shiling was overjoyed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, and the coldness on his face dissipated. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight? Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Not far away, a staff member happened to turn around and see this scene.

    Staff:<em>?There¡¯s nothing much to say. The current Jun Shiling and the one in the day seem to be two different people. This is probably the difference in the world.</em>

    ¡ª¡ª

    The Jiang family.

    Jiang Kui leaned on the sofa with a depressed expression.

    ¡°Hubby.¡± Liu Tanyu brought the fruits up and wanted to sit beside Jiang Kui.

    However, Jiang Kui casually pushed the fruit te to the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me. Get lost.¡±

    Liu Tanyu squatted down and cleaned up the things on the ground. A hint of darkness shed across her eyes. ¡°Okay, Hubby.¡±

    Looking at Liu Tan¡¯s slender back, not only did Jiang Kui not have any charming thoughts, but he was also filled with frustration.

    Recently, in thepany, those people had been treating him less and less seriously.

    It was unknown if Jiang Yun knew something, but she had been even more domineering than before.

    Although he did not want to admit it, he had to admit that Jiang Yun¡¯s ability was indeed not bad.

    During this period of time, he felt more and more powerless.

    ¡°Damn it.¡± The more Jiang Kui thought about it, the angrier he became.?<em>Why wasn¡¯t Jiang Yun the one who was knocked into the hospital??</em>

    He had thought that it would be foolproof, but who would have thought that Lin Qingdai would risk his life to save Jiang Yun?

    She was a blind date whom he had only known for a few months. Jiang Kui really did not expect Jiang Yun to be so good at confusing people. She could make Lin Qingdai fall head over heels for her so quickly.

    In Beijing Hospital, Jiang Yun had juste from thepany. She was wearing high heels and a suit, and she exuded a crispness from her bones.

    ¡°Doctor, how¡¯s his condition?¡± Coincidentally, the doctor came out of the ward. Jiang Yun invited the doctor to the side and asked.

    The doctor had also heard that Lin Qingdai had been crushed by the big car because he had saved Jiang Yun. Now, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

    ¡°This, you know that when he was sent over, his life was already in danger. It¡¯s a miracle that he survived. We can only try our best to protect his life, but I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t keep his leg.¡±

    Beijing originally prohibitedrge trucks from entering the city center, but that day, for some reason, arge truck with sixteen wheels rushed straight into the city.

    Lin Qingdai could live under such a heavy truck because Jiang Yun had spared no expense to hire the best doctor in the world to save his life.

    Jiang Yun¡¯s heart sank and she nodded at the doctor. ¡°I understand, Doctor. Thank you.¡±

    After the doctor left, Jiang Yun stood rooted to the ground for a while. Then, she adjusted her mood and walked into the ward.

    Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Qingdai looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yun. Before he could speak, his eyes were already filled with a gentle smile.

    The Lin family was arge family that had been passed down for generations. Furthermore, because they were located in the south, most of the Lin family had the gentleness of the south.

    Lin Qingdai was such a poetic and gentle man.

    Sometimes, Jiang Yun could not help but think that if Lin Qingdai had not been born into such arge family, he might have be a good teacher, a very good ordinary person with his own ordinary but beautiful life.

    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Lin Qingdai smiled. Although his face was still a little pale, it was obvious that he was recovering and was in good condition.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jiang Yun nodded. ¡°Are you feeling better today?¡±

    ¡°With your meticulous care, I naturally feel very good.¡± Lin Qingdai smiled. ¡°You have to work in the day ande over to take care of me at night. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Jiang Yun shook her head. ¡°You became like this because of me. Besides, we¡¯re husband and wife. It¡¯s my duty to take care of you.¡±

    Hearing Jiang Yun¡¯s words, Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes were filled with warmth. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you.¡±

    Jiang Yun walked forward and took a towel from the side to wipe Lin Qingdai¡¯s face.

    Lin Qingdai nced at Jiang Yun¡¯s feet in high heels. ¡°There are slippers left by the nurse by the door. Change them. Aren¡¯t you tired of wearing high heels?¡±

    Jiang Yun¡¯s hand that was holding the towel paused slightly as she looked up at Lin Qingdai.

    ¡°Change.¡± Lin Qingdai smiled at her. ¡°You look beautiful, but it¡¯s tiring.¡±

    Lin Qingdai knew that Jiang Yun was a workaholic. When discussing cooperation and dealing with business outside, wearing high heels was naturally the first choice. He would not say anything.

    However, she was not at work now. He did not have any other thoughts and only hoped that Jiang Yun could live easier in front of him.

    Jiang Yun walked to the door and changed into slippers.

    Her slender feet were much more rxed after enduring a day of high heels. Even Jiang Yun rxed.

    Lin Qingdai was a person with high quality and EQ. Even though he was seriously injured in bed, he still would not pour out his negative emotions.

    After Jiang Yun wiped his face, Lin Qingdai saw that Jiang Yun looked tired. ¡°Are you tired from work?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m tired from work. In the past, when I was in America, my workload was much greater than now, but I was not as tired as now. It¡¯s mainly because the people in thepany are exhausting.¡±

    Although Jiang Yun was good at work, Jiang Kui had been in thispany since he was young. Decades of interpersonal rtionships were not something Jiang Yun could rece so quickly.

    It was a very simple thing to do with others, but it would hit a wall with Jiang Yun.

    Lin Qingdai did not know much about business, but he was a good listener.

    Jiang Yun could usually not speak to outsiders, but now, she could say it all in front of Lin Qingdai.

    Perhaps because Lin Qingdai made people feel too rxed, the usually vignt Jiang Yun slowly fell asleep by the bed as she spoke.

    The room fell silent for a moment. Lin Qingdai took a coat from the side and draped it over Jiang Yun¡¯s shoulder.

    Then, he quietly looked at her sleeping face, his eyes filled with gentleness.

    Everyone thought that he and Jiang Yun had gotten together because of a blind date and that he had fallen in love with Jiang Yun at first sight.

    Only he knew that he had a crush on Jiang Yun for fifteen years. It was a longing that had umted over countless days and nights.

    Jiang Yun often praised him for being well-mannered and a true gentleman.

    However, he was not. He was a gentleman because he was in that abandoned warehouse in America fifteen years ago.

    Jiang Yun had once told him that she would marry a very gentlemanly man in the future.

    Hence, he used a full fifteen years to be the best gentleman.

    However, he was from the Lin family and Jiang Yun was from the Jiang family. Because of the family entanglement, he had hidden it for fifteen years.

    He had never let anyone discover his feelings for Jiang Yun. He operated carefully and meticulously disguised himself as an easy person to control.

    It was to let Lin Qingyuan treat him as a tool and send him to Jiang Yun for the marriage.

    Fortunately, after fifteen years of walking alone, he finally obtained this opportunity to stay by her side.

    He had guessed some of Lin Qingyuan¡¯s n.

    That day, their wedding car could not have taken that route, but in the end, Lin Qingdai still chose the original route.

    <em>I¡¯m sorry, I was still selfish in the end.?</em>

    He used the softness in Jiang Yun¡¯s heart. He wanted to leave a deep mark in Jiang Yun¡¯s heart with the price of his life.

 Chapter 1284 - Jiangnan

    <h4>Chapter 1284: Jiangnan</h4>

    Jiang Yun woke up in less than half an hour.

    She opened her eyes and saw Lin Qingdai staring out of the window in a daze. Jiang Yun followed Lin Qingdai¡¯s gaze.

    At this moment, the sky was already dark. There was only a curved moon hanging in the sky outside. It was thin and cold.

    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Jiang Yun suddenly said, breaking Lin Qingdai¡¯s thoughts.

    Lin Qingdai turned around and smiled gently at Jiang Yun. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re awake.¡±

    !!

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jiang Yun sat up. ¡°Do you want to rest for a while?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    At that moment, the doctor happened to bring the nurse in. ¡°The patient¡¯s family, have you told him about the patient¡¯s condition?¡±

    Jiang Yun frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Qingdai answered first, ¡°I¡¯ve said it. I already know the situation.¡±

    ¡°Alright, please sign this guarantee.¡± The doctor ced a document in front of Lin Qingdai.

    Lin Qingdai took a look and signed it.

    Jiang Yun stood at the side and did not speak. After the doctor left, she said hesitantly, ¡°You know everything?¡±

    Lin Qingdai smiled. ¡°How can I not know my own body??¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± A thick sense of guilt appeared on Jiang Yun¡¯s face.

    After what happened back then, she had sent people from all sides to investigate the truth, although in the end, all the evidence pointed to Jun Shiling.

    However, Jiang Yun was even more convinced that Jiang Kui was behind this.

    The more obvious the evidence was, the more artificial it seemed. The more invisible one would be the true culprit.

    Jiang Kui did all this because he wanted to get rid of her. Lin Qingdai was innocent and had been implicated by her.

    Looking at the guilt on Jiang Yun¡¯s face, a dark glint shed across Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re my wife. I should protect you.¡±

    Jiang Yun felt even more guilty. She stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qingdai¡¯s hand. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°Silly.¡± Lin Qingdai held Jiang Yun¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Why are you thanking me?¡±

    Jiang Yun lowered her head and did not see Lin Qingdai¡¯splicated expression.

    Looking at Jiang Yun¡¯s lowered head, Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes darkened.

    On the day of the wedding, when he chose that route, Lin Qingdai was already prepared to lose his life.

    Now that he survived, it was enough for him.

    He knew that he was selfish, but he really wanted Jiang Yun to see him too much. This had already be an obsession.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In a vi in the suburbs of Beijing, Lin Qingyuan flipped through the documents in his hand, his eyes gloomy. ¡°Tell me how useless you are.¡±

    Su Yueran stood at the side and did not speak, quietly listening to Lin Qingyuan¡¯s criticism.

    Lin Qingyuan spoke for a long time but did not receive a response from Su Yueran. He was angry and threw the document in his hand at Su Yueran. Su Yueran subconsciously protected her stomach.

    ¡°Are you deaf? Can¡¯t you hear me?¡±

    Su Yueran held her stomach. ¡°I¡¯ve already done as you asked.¡±

    ¡°Then it¡¯s my fault?¡± Lin Qingyuan frowned. ¡°I got someone to fight for the title of ambassador for you. What¡¯s the use of you taking it? You¡¯re simply embarrassing me. Look at Xia Wanyuan. Even without this title, she can still survive outside.¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, Su Yueran¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    ¡°Why? Are you unconvinced?¡± A hint of mockery shed across Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°No matter how unconvinced you are, hold it in. You can¡¯tpare to Xia Wanyuan in any way. Don¡¯t you know that?¡±

    Su Yueran clenched her fists and lowered her head in silence.

    Lin Qingyuan did not want to say anything else. He stood up and walked out. ¡°Reflect at home.¡±

    After Lin Qingyuan¡¯s back disappeared at the door, Su Yueran looked up. The housekeeper walked over andforted Su Yueran. ¡°Madam, Young Master is stubborn but soft-hearted. Don¡¯t be angry with him.¡±

    Su Yueran did not want to exin further to the auntie who did not know anything. ¡°I¡¯m tired. Auntie, help me up and rest.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When shey on the bed, Su Yueran¡¯s heart was filled with hatred.

    No matter what, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be a shadow pressing on her head.

    ¡ª¡ª

    A new day began. Everyone in the production team could clearly feel that the atmosphere was much better today. At least Jun Shiling¡¯s aura was not as deep as yesterday.

    Xuan Sheng had changed into a bright red costume. The makeup artist had picked eyeliner for him, and he was ostentatious and charming to the extreme.

    Jun Shiling was dressed in an auspicious dragon golden cannon and was peerlessly noble.

    Xuan Sheng greeted Jun Shiling first. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°CEO Xuan.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Wanyuan was afraid that Jun Shiling would be angry with Xuan Sheng again, so she hurriedly announced the start of filming.

    Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling were not professional actors, but people with high IQs probably learned quickly.

    At the beginning of the plot, the crown prince of the god race and the descendants of the Demon World were still cultivating and learning under the name of a master.

    On the peak of Cangwu Mountain, the disciples of the same sect studied and yed together every day.

    The three youths all had the spirit of the wind. At the most innocent age, they bred the deepest friendship.

    Yan Ci was the Best Actor, and Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling were experts at controlling emotions. Basically, they went through every scene in one go.

    Xia Wanyuan was very satisfied. ¡°Okay, everyone, rest.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng, who had their arms around each other¡¯s shoulders just now, immediately stood back to back.

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. Although Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were a little petty, Xia Wanyuan felt that he was a little awkward and cute.

    Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng had many things to do. The production team had specially set up an office for the two of them in the building beside them. When there were no scenes, Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng would work by the side.

    Lin Jing came over with a document and reported thepany to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°CEO Jun, a woman has recently appeared in the Chu family.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused. ¡°What kind of woman?¡±

    Ever since he received the news that Feng Wuyou was not dead, he had guessed that such a day woulde.

    ¡°That woman¡¯s name is Su Yao. She¡¯s a gentle and quiet girl. I heard that she¡¯s very doted on by Chu Yi.¡±

    ¡°Continue to watch.¡± Jun Shiling looked up. ¡°Especially Chu Yi.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Jing nodded respectfully. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing to report to Madam. Wei Jin¡¯s work in the south is very sessful. Now, the Wei family in Jiangnan is in chaos.¡±

    Back then, after Wei Jin and Xia Wanyuan bade farewell, she went to the south with Mu Feng. After so long, there was finally news from their side.

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell her. You can go down first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, CEO Jun.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan received the news, at the same time, the Wei family in Jiangnan fell into intense internal strife.

    At this moment, Lin Qingyuan was not in Jiangnan, and the other families had long been restrained by Wei Jin with all sorts of methods. The Wei family in Jiangnan could basically be considered to have fallen into her hands.

    <strong></strong>

 Chapter 1285 - Tide of the Storm

    <h4>Chapter 1285: Tide of the Storm</h4>

    ¡°Look, I knew it. Wei Jin is very suitable to be ced in the south.¡±

    She was smart to begin with and had grown up in the Wei family in Jiangnan. No one was more suitable to disturb the entire Wei family than her.

    Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan walked over and Jun Shiling pinched her face.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Your smug expression is quite cute.¡±

    !!

    ¡°...¡± Xia Wanyuan red at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you about serious matters.¡±

    ¡°Lin Qingyuan is probably returning to Jiangnan. I¡¯m afraid the Wei family won¡¯t be so easy to take down.¡±

    Su Yueran married into the Lin family as a descendant of the Wei family in Jiangnan. This represented the alliance between the two families.

    Now that the foundation of the Wei family in Jiangnan was about to be shaken, Lin Qingyuan could not sit still.

    As Jun Shiling had expected,

    While Jun Shiling received the news, Lin Qingyuan also received Wei Zhong¡¯s call for help.

    ¡°Master Lin, I never expected my daughter, who wanted my life, to do this to me. If you don¡¯t help me this time, the Wei family will be upied by Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan thought to himself,<i> Idiot. </i>¡°How¡¯s the situation now?¡±

    ¡°That wretched girl convinced the old seniors in the Wei family to hold a family meeting again and let the entire Wei family be one again. Patriarch Lin, you should know better than me that after bing one, the Wei family will change its surname to Xia.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s expression turned slightly cold. ¡°I understand. Stabilize the situation over there first. I¡¯ll go back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then hurry up.¡±

    After hanging up, Lin Qingyuan finally could not help but scold angrily, ¡°Both of you are really stupid!¡±

    Without a useful talent, he had to run back personally.

    Su Yueran happened to bring tea up. Just as she was about to speak to Lin Qingyuan, he stood up. ¡°You¡¯re on your own here. If you can¡¯tpare to Xia Wanyuan, I think there¡¯s no need for you to continue being Madam Lin.¡±

    Su Yueran looked up. There was not much fear in her eyes, but more relief.

    Lin Qingyuan knew what she was thinking. He sneered. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll let you go just because you can¡¯t be Madam Lin? You¡¯ve been my woman before. Do you still want to go elsewhere?¡±

    Su Yueran¡¯s face instantly turned pale.

    Lin Qingyuan snorted softly and turned to leave.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The discovery of many cultural relics in Linxi, together with many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯sments about the new history and dynasty, were reported by many media.

    Now, everyone trusted Xia Wanyuan very much. The media reposted many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s discussions at Han Country University and Ennd Museum.

    Soon, the Inte was filled with ¡°the new dynasty that Xia Wanyuan mentioned seems to have obtained historical evidence¡±. ¡°So Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t talking nonsense. Look at thetest discovered cultural relics.¡±

    The appearance of a dynasty that did not exist in Chinese history was something worth eximing in world history.

    Instantly, not only were the major media paying attention, but the attention ofizens from all walks of life was also attracted by this incident.

    [Really??? I¡¯ve studied history for so many years, but I haven¡¯t seen any records of this dynasty. How can it be a new dynasty?]

    [ If it¡¯s true, then Xia Wanyuan is too amazing... Why do I feel that she knows everything so well? This is probably the difference between immortals and humans. ]

    [Other people¡¯s brains are filled with intelligence. My brain is filled with food. The difference.]

    The matter of this new dynasty was too popr, and Xia Wanyuan was pushed to the center of attention.

    Unknowingly, the media reporters had already ced Xia Wanyuan on the altar.

    In the media¡¯s reports, Xia Wanyuan was a meritorious figure who had pushed China¡¯s historical record to perfection.

    Many media from the Southern department even jumped out and directly asked the Qing University to hire Xia Wanyuan to be a professor in the History department to unt her huge contribution.

    In this atmosphere, Nancheng University suddenly announced to the public.

    After a strict investigation and screening, they realized that the so-called ¡°cultural relics¡± that appeared in Linxi were actually modern imitations. There was no such thing as a new dynasty.

    Once this statement from Nancheng University was released, the entire matter became very awkward.

    The various reports of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ¡°history expert¡± were still hanging on the Inte media, and all sorts of reporters¡¯ praises were still pouring out.

    However, as the most authoritative liberal arts university in China, Nancheng University¡¯s expert team was famous in the country.

    No one dared to not believe their judgment.

    [ This¡­ So who is right?? I don¡¯t understand. Who should I believe? ]

    [ I¡¯m inclined to believe the professors of Nancheng University. After all, they¡¯re all professionals. Although Xia Wanyuan is very good at literature, history and literature are not the same thing at all. Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t so proficient in everything, right? ]

    [I¡¯m also standing with Nancheng University. I feel that those old professors look very dignified when they stand there.]

    At this moment, in Nancheng University, everyone was divided into two extremely intense extremes.

    Looking at the statement that had been released that there was no new dynasty, some teachers who had worked hard for a long time were very unconvinced.

    ¡°There clearly is! How can you lie with your eyes open?! You¡¯repletely viting the fairness of academia!¡±

    ¡°Professor Li.¡± A fat middle-aged man sitting at the meeting table pressed his hand down. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re a professor at Nancheng University. Your wife works here too. If Nancheng University declines, you won¡¯t have a good time.¡±

    Hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s words, Professor Li gritted his teeth and stood silently at the side.

    ¡°The school leaders said that they¡¯ll give you double the allowance for this year¡¯s History department. Our country has so many things to study. Why must you dwell on this? Don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    Professor Li and a few other aloof teachers were silent, but they did not retort.

    The director nced at the teachers present and his expression suddenly became serious. ¡°I don¡¯t care about your so-called academic fairness. Let me tell you, before you go out and cause trouble, think about the people behind you first. Don¡¯t treat yourself as a rash young man who only knows how to charge forward.¡±

    With that, the director left the office.

    The others looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.

    If they went back to thirty to forty years ago when they were still young,

    They would probably ignore the leader school and have toe up with the truth.

    However, now, they had family and children behind them. Their lives were tied to Nancheng University.

    They no longer had the capital to bravely expose the truth.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± A sigh sounded in the office.

    Everyone found helplessness in each other¡¯s eyes. Even though they had already be the most authoritative people in history,

    However, they still did not have the right to speak. They had to watch the truth be stepped on by the nobles.

    ¡°I heard that Xia Wanyuan is quite amazing. Maybe¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened the package and took a look. Inside was some detailed research information on cultural relics. Other than the information, there were many cultural relics that Xia Wanyuan had never seen before.

    It was not difficult to guess who had sent these things. A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    Many of the higher-ups of Nancheng University might be very bad, but there were still some people protecting the truth.

    Xia Wanyuan was leisurely. On the Inte, there was another huge wavepared to before.

    Originally, because of Nancheng University¡¯s statement, many people had doubts about Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, a few professors certified in Nancheng University stood up and reposted some articles.

    These articles mainly dealt with academic fraud.

    Among them, there were some phenomena that existed in the historical circle. In order to prove that their research was correct, some experts did not care about the truth and created some fake historical artifacts.

    Originally, these facts had always existed objectively. However, at this sensitive time, it became very subtle when they were reposted by the professors of Nancheng University.

    [ A little¡­ Are the professors hinting that those cultural relics were imitated by Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ Reposting such an article at this time is equivalent to directly saying that Xia Wanyuan deliberately imitated cultural relics¡­ For a moment, I don¡¯t know who to believe. ]

    [ So what if they¡¯re a professor??? You make it sound like Xia Wanyuan isn¡¯t a professor. I¡¯m really speechless. Can¡¯t professors nowadays show evidence when they speak? Who are you secretly implying? ]

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans were trying their best to rify for her, Xia Wanyuan was indeed too young in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    On one side was the famous professors of Nancheng University, and on the other was the young and beautiful celebrity professor, Xia Wanyuan. The scales in everyone¡¯s hearts would always involuntarily lean towards the old professors.

    The public opinion at this moment was almost worlds apart from two days ago.

    The media reporters who had supported Xia Wanyuan the most back then and praised her as a modern master had now turned into the most ruthless people who attacked her.

    Chen Yun was about to die of anger when he saw these unscrupulous media. ¡°Two days ago, they were clearly the ones who said that you were a modern master. Now, they jumped out and said that you were an artificial master. It¡¯s too disgusting.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan felt that it was very normal. ¡°Isn¡¯t public opinion like this?¡±

    The news media was a tool to begin with. They would write whatever the person behind it wanted the reader to see.

    The overwhelming praises a few days ago must have been instigated by someone behind the scenes. Today¡¯s reversal was naturally within their n.

    ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Chen Yun knew that he did not have the ability to go against the major media.

    Xia Wanyuan scrolled through Weibo. It was basically talking about artificially counterfeiting cultural relics. ¡°Just wait.¡±

    Chen Yun was stunned.?<i>Wait? Wait for what??</i>

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else. She only opened the message box and sent a message.

    At the same time, a ne had already set off from Beijing for Linxi City. The leader was Shen Qian.

    ¡°CEO Shen, aren¡¯t we going to do the Moon Bay project this time? Why are you bringing so many tomb diggers? It¡¯s so scary.¡± The assistant leaned towards Shen Qian and secretly asked.

    Shen Qian was replying to a message with his phone. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about anything else and don¡¯t leak the news to the public. These people are all construction workers, understand?¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The assistant did not ask further. He did not care if they were tomb diggers. As long as thepany paid them when the time came, he, a small fry, could not care less.

    <h4>Chapter 1288: Favored</h4>

    The public opinion was in an uproar, but Xia Wanyuan remained unmoved. Even Qing University did not seem to notice this matter.

    In this way, Nancheng University could not sit still anymore. ¡°What¡¯s going on at Qing University? Are they nning to ignore Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    The director frowned. ¡°Not necessarily. Let¡¯s try pushing her forward again. Xia Wanyuan is very difficult to deal with. She might have some dirty tricks up her sleeve.¡±

    Soon, there was a frenzy in the history world.

    A few history professors from Nancheng University had publicly written a few posts online attacking ¡°fake professors¡±.

    !!

    In the academic team, there were people with noble character and morals who paid attention to the ethics of schrs, and there were also many people who lived in the industry messily.

    Xia Wanyuan had achieved so much at such a young age. Many people did not say it, but their hearts were filled with jealousy.

    With the professors from Nancheng University in front, many small fries followed.

    Anyway, schrs were good at the Spring and Autumn brush technique.

    No one knew who this ¡°fake professor¡± was, but every detail made one clearly think that it was Xia Wanyuan.

    [ It¡¯s as if I saw the previous scene again. I vaguely remember that a long time ago, a group of people secretly scolded Xia Wanyuan like this. Later on, that group of people waspletely cold. ]

    [Hahaha, the person in front, why do I like what you say so much? I really hate these so-called schrs. If you want to scold them, scold them openly. It¡¯s so dark that it only makes people hate them.]

    [ Xia Wanyuan really has many brainless fans. Did the professor scold your master? Why are you rushing to take the me? ]

    Xia Wanyuan was popr. All sorts of marketing ounts saw the poprity and crawled in. Instantly, there were all sorts of arguments on the Inte.

    Xia Wanyuan filmed quietly.

    Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng were both very busy. Xia Wanyuan tried her best to arrange for their scenes to be filmed in the central time before slowly filming the others¡¯ scenes.

    Fortunately, the two of them had high intelligence. In just a day or two, they could be as proficient as old actors, greatly increasing their efficiency.

    In less than a week, most of the scenes involving the two of them had been filmed.

    Yan Ci, who had been acting with these two the entire time, was basically doubting his life.

    He now believed in a saying that talent was far more important than hard work.

    Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng were still a little unfamiliar on the first day. In the end, as the Best Actor, he almost could not withstand their aura.

    Since the filming here was over, Xuan Sheng greeted Xia Wanyuan and left the production team.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling, who was standing at the side. ¡°Alright, he¡¯s already gone. Who are you showing your cold face to? Are you showing it to me?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan bitterly. ¡°You smiled at him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll smile at you too. Come, do you want to see me smile?¡±

    The staff at the side were silently pretending to be dead, but everyone was very shocked.

    Over the past few days, everyone had only seen Jun Shiling¡¯s cold face. They did not expect Jun Shiling to be so easy to coax. Xia Wanyuan teased him slightly, and Jun Shiling broke.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling into the office building. Just as she was about to continue coaxing Jun Shiling, her phone rang.

    It was a message from Shen Qian.

    ¡°There are indeed tombs on Longqi Mountain.¡±

    Seeing this news, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s pupils constricted. She replied to Shen Qian, ¡°Can you go in?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll try my best. We¡¯re digging.¡±

    At that moment, Jun Shiling leaned over to take a look. ¡°Shen Qian went over?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°I have a feeling that Long Qi Mountain is very likely rted to my previous life.¡±

    What worried Xia Wanyuan was that logically speaking, it was impossible for tombs to appear in the south.

    Then what exactly happened back then to cause such a huge reversal?

    Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. Wait for news from Shen Qian.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling thought of Lin Jing¡¯s report about Nancheng University. ¡°Do you need my help?¡±

    The major families stood behind the media in the south, and the major families naturally stood behind the media in the north.

    The power of public opinion could also be suppressed with the power of public opinion.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer. We¡¯ll talk when they¡¯re anxious.¡±

    Since she wanted to pull it out, she had to uproot it.

    Although the higher-ups of Qing University and Xia Wanyuan could still sit still, the other professors of Qing University began to panic.

    There were even professors who secretly wrote anonymous letters asking the principal to suspend Xia Wanyuan.

    At the school¡¯s regr meeting the next day, Principal Yang threw the anonymous letter on the meeting table.

    ¡°Stop fighting among yourselves! If you don¡¯t believe Xia Wanyuan, then you don¡¯t believe me either? Today, I¡¯ll put my career on the table for you, and I¡¯ll support Xia Wanyuan. Which one of you still writes anonymous letters? Report me too!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had been promoted by Principal Yang. He knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability better than anyone.

    As for the small actions of Nancheng University, he had seen many of them after being the principal for so many years.

    Initially, the professors were still a little restless. Now that they saw Principal Yang protecting Xia Wanyuan so firmly, everyone calmed down and stopped talking about this.

    The school meeting was not secretly held, so very quickly, the news of Principal Yang angrily protecting Xia Wanyuan spread.

    Instantly, there were all sorts of things. There were even some people who took advantage of the situation and began to spread rumors that the Principal of Qing University and Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable rtionship.

    These people hid behind the Inte and thought that they could just hit the keyboard and not have to take responsibility. Who would have thought that a few minutes after the dirty words were posted, the Inte police would already find them?

    At the same time, the cyber police in all parts of the country received all sorts of reports.

    Lin Jing reported the news to Jun Shiling, who nodded. ¡°Mm, continue to watch.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had asked him to ignore those people from Nancheng University, but she had not said that she did not want him to care about these people who had spread rumors about Xia Wanyuan behind her back.

    Jun Shiling sent the Jun Corporation¡¯s legal team across the country to sue all the keyboard warriors hiding behind the keyboard and emitting a stench.

    [Tsk tsk... What do you mean by group favor? I¡¯ve finally seen it today...]

    [ The principal of Qing University used his reputation to protect Xia Wanyuan. The Jun Corporation¡¯s legal team collectively moved to protect Xia Wanyuan... Amazing. ]

    [I don¡¯t know which side to stand on anymore. I feel that both sides are quite convincing. Sigh, I¡¯d better watch the show quietly.]

    Jiangnan.

    The Wei family, which was about to be taken in, returned to its original position because of Lin Qingyuan¡¯s arrival.

    Wei Jin was dressed in a cheongsam and sitting at her desk. She had a pair of gold-rimmed sses on her nose and was seriously checking the Wei family¡¯s ounts.

    Mu Feng¡¯s silver hair was scattered on the sofa. He supported his head with his hand and quietly looked at Wei Jin, who was not far away, with gentleness in his eyes.

    Wei Jin asionally looked up and met Mu Feng¡¯s gaze. There was a smile in her eyes. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡±

    Mu Feng raised an eyebrow. ¡°Can¡¯t I look at my wife?¡±

    Wei Jin¡¯s ears turned red. She lowered her head and continued reading the ount book.

    After a while, Wei Jin sighed slightly. ¡°It¡¯s a little difficult. Lin Qingyuan is back. The Wei family¡¯s originally broken funding chain has returned to normal.¡±

    Furthermore, the Lin family was originally the boss of the south. With Lin Qingyuan¡¯s help, the crisis of the Wei family in Jiangnan was quickly resolved.

    Mu Feng coughed lightly and attracted Wei Jin¡¯s attention.

    ]¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wei Jin took off her sses. ¡°You have a way?¡±

    Mu Feng picked up a strand of hair with his index finger. ¡°Yes, but I have to leave for a few days. Can you stay here alone?¡±

    Wei Jin nodded. ¡°Of course. Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m protected by the people my cousin sent over.¡±

    Mu Feng stood up, walked to Wei Jin, and kissed her. ¡°Then wait for me here. Hubby will be back soon.¡±

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Wei Jin stood up to ask Mu Feng.

    Mu Feng pressed Wei Jin¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Give me a week and I¡¯ll let you sessfully take in the Wei family.¡±

    With that, Mu Feng left the room.

    Looking at Mu Feng¡¯s departing figure, confusion appeared in Wei Jin¡¯s eyes.

    She called Xia Wanyuan and reported the Wei family¡¯s current work situation.

    ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m sorry that I didn¡¯t meet your expectations.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve already done very well.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice was gentle. ¡°Haste makes waste. No matter what, the Wei family of Jiangnan has a hundred years of foundation. It¡¯s impossible to take them down so easily.¡±

    Wei Jin hesitantly told Xia Wanyuan about Mu Feng. She could not think of any way for Mu Feng to make the entire Wei family hers in a week.

    Hearing Wei Jin¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered. She thought for a moment and smiled. ¡°Then wait patiently. Since Mu Feng said so, he must be confident.¡±

    Wei Jin was confused, but she believed Xia Wanyuan unconditionally, so she did not ask further.

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan picked up the brush beside her again and drew on the canvas in front of her.

    In the current manor, there were already ten studios in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s studio.

    Xia Wanyuan usually liked to draw and write when she had nothing to do. After years of umtion, these ten studios were already not enough.

    Xia Wanyuan was currently drawing a ten-meter-long mountain painting. It was magnificent and had a vast artistic conception.

    Xiao Bao sneaked in and stood beside Xia Wanyuan, a little curious. ¡°Mommy, what are you doing with so many paintings??¡±

    Now, as far as the eye could see, the studio was basically filled with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s paintings of all styles.

    Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao¡¯s face. ¡°Do an art exhibition.¡±

    ¡°What is an art exhibition?¡± Xiao Bao widened his eyes curiously. ¡°Can I go and take a look?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Xia Wanyuan put down her brush and picked Xiao Bao up from the ground. ¡°Can you help Mommy choose which to disy?¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan¡¯s number one fan in the universe, Xiao Bao felt that all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works were quite amazing.

    Hence, he touched every painting. ¡°Mommy, I think they¡¯re all super amazing!!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless. ¡°Alright, send them all out for disy.¡±

    ¡°Mm!!¡± Xiao Bao took the small brush from the table and began to practice writing and painting.

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s influence, Xiao Bao was now a serious painting and calligraphy enthusiast. He had inherited Jun Shiling¡¯s high intelligence and learned things quite quickly. Now, the things he drew were quite decent.

    Regarding Xia Wanyuan¡¯s art exhibition, it was mainly suggested by the Qing University, who wanted to help her organize it.

    Xia Wanyuan only treated painting and calligraphy as a habit to temper her emotions and had never taken her identity as a member of the International Painter Association seriously.

    However, if it were anyone else with such high honor, the art exhibition would have been held countless times.

    Principal Yang suggested that the Qing University take the lead and hold Xia Wanyuan¡¯s art exhibition at the Qing University.

    Principal Yang naturally had his own selfish motives. He hoped to publicize Qing University¡¯s image through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s art exhibition.

    This was a win-win situation, so Xia Wanyuan naturally agreed.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had her own thoughts about the venue of the art exhibition.

    Ever since she took over the Xiafeng Groupst year, Xia Wanyuan had already let Shen Qian be in charge of the development and construction of the Moon Bay project.

    Now, the main body of the entire Moon Bay project had beenpleted, and the soft renovation inside had beenpleted.

    The n that Shen Qian had reported to Xia Wanyuan was to let the Moon Bay project be opened to the public next month.

    Xia Wanyuan had an idea to hold the art exhibition in Moon Bay.

    Principal Yang had no objections.

    The Moon Bay project was located in Linxi City, which was quite close to Nancheng University.

    Although he looked a little petty, Principal Yang secretly thought to himself,<i>?Let Xia Wanyuan hold an art exhibition near Nancheng University and anger them to death.?</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Although not many people in the country paid attention to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science ount on the Inte anymore,

    However, Xia Wanyuan had always maintained the frequency of popr science videos once a week. As time passed, every video of Xia Wanyuan had nearly ten million views.

    When the poprity was high, there were many anti-fans.

    The popr science videost week happened to be about Chinese embroidery.

    Manyizens abroad did not understand or evene into contact with all sorts of embroidery, so they were naturally unwilling to believe that these were true.

    [They¡¯re special effects, right¡­ How can the front be a cat and the back be a human figure? It¡¯s so fake. How can it be embroidered at the same time?]

    [ I¡¯m speechless. The thief, Xia Wanyuan, is here again. She takes out our Han Country¡¯s things every day to exin. Is it funny? ]

    [What magical technology. Is this true?]

    There were too many curious people. In the end, there was even a topic discussing embroidery on the Inte.

    While Xia Wanyuan was painting, she would asionally scroll through theizens¡¯ments.

    As she scrolled, Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian.

    Soon, the scans of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various paintings were sent to thergest embroidery workshop in Suhang.

    At the same time, the Moon Bay project was advancing in an orderly manner.

    All sorts of porcin and Xiu Yi¡¯s clothes that were transported out from all over the country gathered at Moon Bay.

    Thismotion was really huge, so it was impossible not to notice. However, even if everyone¡¯s gazes were cast here, they could not understand what project Xia Wanyuan had invested in.

    In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Li looked at the report with disdain in his eyes. ¡°I thought the things Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan are doing are amazing. Why are they doing a resort? How boring.¡±

    Hearing Xuan Li¡¯s words, the assistant pursed his lips. ¡°CEO Xuan, that Xia Wanyuan is still quite amazing. Let¡¯s not let our guard down. Besides¡­¡±

    Before the assistant could finish speaking, Xuan Li threw a document at him. ¡°Xuan what? Are you trying to say that Xuan Sheng is very amazing? Since he¡¯s so amazing, why don¡¯t you follow him? Why are you still here?¡±

    Xuan Li had recently be 100% sensitive to Xuan Sheng.

    He had thought that as long as he could snatch Glory World Corporation, no matter how amazing Xuan Sheng was, he could not make aeback.

    However, reality told him that Xuan Sheng had really made aeback.

    Xuan Sheng had specially established a World Glory Corporation opposite Glory World Corporation. Furthermore, during this period of time, Xuan Sheng had fully disyed his talent in business. Not only did he quickly gain a foothold, but he could also snatch clients from Glory World Corporation, making Xuan Li quite ufortable.

    Being scolded by Xuan Li like this, the assistant immediately panicked. ¡°CEO Xuan, that¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Alright, get out.¡± Xuan Li waved his hand. ¡°Keep an eye on Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the assistant left, Xuan Li continued to read the proposal in his hand. ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡­¡± Xuan Li pondered over these words, his eyes filled with disgust.

    He knew that Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan had worked together a lot, and he knew that Xia Wanyuan was very capable. On Xuan Sheng¡¯s path to sess, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s help was indispensable.

    To be honest, Xuan Li¡¯s heart was filled with jealousy. He was wondering why Xia Wanyuan did not look for him to work with her back then.

    However, the truth was already set in stone. What Xuan Li was thinking now was how to separate Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan so that Xuan Sheng could no longer obtain Xia Wanyuan¡¯s support.

    In fact, it would be even better if he could make Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng enemies.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At that moment, in the manor, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were sitting on the sofa drinking tea when a silver-haired figure walked in.

    ¡°Cousin, Cousin-inw.¡± Now that Mu Feng and Wei Jin were already husband and wife, he addressed her the same as how Wei Jin did.

    ¡°I expected you toe.¡± Jun Shiling put down the cup in his hand and looked at a document that was already on the table. ¡°Take a look at this.¡±

    Mu Feng picked up the document and flipped through it, joy shing across his eyes. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re indeed smarter than others. I¡¯m haven¡¯te yet, but you know what I¡¯m thinking.¡±

    ¡°Since you¡¯ve already called me cousin-inw, I must help you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Mu Feng nodded at Jun Shiling.

    The next day was the board of directors meeting in the Mu Corporation.

    Mu Ting held the folder as usual and walked towards the chairman¡¯s seat.

    However, before he could sit down, a hand reached out from the side. ¡°Wait.¡±

    Mu Ting frowned and looked up, displeasure shing across his eyes. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Mu Feng tilted his head. ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying, Chairman Mu. Why can¡¯t Ie here? Grandpa has already handed the power of the corporation to me. I should be the one sitting in this position.¡±

    Disdain shed across Mu Ting¡¯s eyes. The power in Old Master Mu¡¯s hands had long been taken over by him. Now, even if Old Master Mu let Mu Feng take over, he did not have the right.

    ¡°Move, or I¡¯ll get the security guards to settle it.¡± Now, Mu Ting no longer had the worries of Mu Feng being his only sessor.

    After all, he had been very sessful in IVF recently. A pair of twins were growing in his wife¡¯s stomach.

    The current Mu Feng had already lost all his value in Mu Ting¡¯s eyes.

    Mu Feng smiled and looked at the other shareholders present.

    ¡°Everyone, do reason for us. Should I leave?¡±

    At this moment, the major shareholder of the corporation stood up. ¡°Of course you shouldn¡¯t leave. You¡¯re the future chairman of our corporation.¡±

    ¡°Indeed, if the chairman has left, what¡¯s the point of us staying behind? The ones who should leave should be some unrted people.¡±

    Hearing the shareholders¡¯ words, Mu Ting¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°What do you mean?!¡±

    The shareholders avoided Mu Ting¡¯s questioning gaze. ¡°The student surpasses the master. It¡¯s time for you to give in.¡±

    Looking at these former goodpanions and brothers, Mu Ting felt his blood surge. ¡°You!!!¡±

    Ever since Mu Feng left Beijing with Wei Jin and disappeared, he had let down his guard. He never expected Mu Feng to suddenly do this to him.

    This board meeting was especially long for Mu Ting.

    However, in everyone¡¯s eyes, it was only half an hour.

    Half an hourter, Mu Feng sat on the chair at the front of the meeting room. As the abdicated chairman, Mu Ting could only stand aside with his things.

    Seeing everyone enthusiastically congratte Mu Feng, Mu Ting¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. After a while, he flung his sleeves and left angrily.

    Sensing Mu Ting¡¯s departure, Mu Feng nced over, then retracted his gaze and focused on listening to the directors¡¯ reports.

    Soon, the news of Mu Feng seeding the chairman of the Mu Corporation was revealed on the official website.

    Far away in Jiangnan, Wei Jin looked at the news on the official website as if she suddenly had a backbone that could support her.

    The Mu family had a deep foundation and was an old family in Beijing. Now that Mu Feng controlled the Mu family, it was a rather beneficial condition for them.

    Compared to what the major families saw, theizens¡¯ first reaction when they saw this news was mainly:

    Another domineering CEO was born.

    [Are all the domineering CEOs this year especially young? Look at what they¡¯re doing in their twenties, then look at myself. I¡¯d better go back and inherit my father¡¯snd.]

    [It turns out that Mu Feng isn¡¯t a makeup artist. I¡¯ve always been curious why a makeup artist is so arrogant. It turns out that he¡¯s a rich second-generation heir who came out to experience life.]

    [ Howl, I, who was silently following Mu Feng and Wei Jin, identallyughed out loud. Our Wei Jin¡¯s quality of life feels like it can improve again. After all, her husband is already a chairman. ]

    The biggest reaction to the change in the Mu family¡¯s power was not Wei Jin, not her fans, but Jiang Kui.

    Hearing this news, Jiang Kui even smashed the blue and white porcin beside him.

    ¡°Jun Shiling again!!¡±

    Mu Ting was on the Jiang family¡¯s side, but Mu Feng, Jiang Kui knew very well that this person was definitely on Jun Shiling¡¯s side.

    This also meant that the Jiang family had one less friendly ally in Beijing.

    Furthermore, it was very likely that the Wei family in Jiangnan would not be able to protect themselves because of this and would also be taken into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    At that moment, the phone rang. Jiang Kui picked it up and his expression instantly changed.

    That was because Father Jiang had let Jiang Yun take over most of the Jiang Corporation¡¯s business in China.

    In the past, these businesses were all under his name. In other words, Father Jiang was indirectly hinting to everyone that Jiang Yun was his next sessor.

    Jiang Kui could not sit still anymore. He stepped on the blue and white porcin fragments and walked out the door. ¡°Someone, prepare a car for me.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    Because of the change in the Mu family, the capital, which had temporarily fallen silent, seemed to have been triggered. The forces hidden in the darkness began to stir.

    Unlike the busyness elsewhere, Xia Wanyuan was finally rxed.

    Someone had already sent the paintings in the studio to Linxi City. The school¡¯s work hade to an end, and the students were on summer break, so Xia Wanyuan did not have to run to Qing University anymore.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and strolled leisurely by the roadside. He nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach and was a little puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s been a few months, why can¡¯t I see your stomach??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan touched her stomach, which did not look too obvious. ¡°It¡¯s normal. Some people¡¯s pregnancy is obvious, and for some people, you can¡¯t even tell when they give birth.¡±

    It was obvious that he had nevere into contact with such knowledge. Jun Shiling was a little stunned. ¡°But your stomach is so small. Will they be crushed inside?¡±

    ¡°¡­ How is that possible?¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was starting to be anxious again. She held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Alright, stop thinking about it. Tell me, how¡¯s Bo Xiao?¡±

    Ever since she heard that Bo Xiao still had the residual S-virus in his body, Xia Wanyuan had been secretly worried.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know much about viruses, but she knew that these unknown things often hid great danger.

    If Bo Xiao¡¯s matter was not resolved, Xia Wanyuan would not be able to face An Rao peacefully.

    Speaking of this, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was a little solemn. ¡°Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t received any news from Xia Yu recently, but we can be sure that Xia Yu is safe, but for some special reason, he can¡¯t contact us.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean by no normal contact?¡± Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

    She felt a little uneasy. Recently, she had been feeling that there were too many things that were developing in an unpredictable direction.

    ¡°Xia Yu has a satellite location on him. The location shows that Xia Yu has been moving normally, but he has turned off all hismunication equipment with us.¡±

    At this moment, in Continent F, Xia Yu had switched off hismunication equipment. He looked at the man in front of him. ¡°Tell me, I¡¯ve already turned off my things. Why did you ask me toe?¡±

    Wei Zimu turned around. Even in such a dark cave, the warmth on his face and body did not decrease at all.

    ¡°This is for you.¡± Wei Zimu handed a small box to Xia Yu. ¡°Take it back. It might be useful to you.¡±

    Xia Yu took the box and did not open it. He looked at Wei Zimu in confusion. ¡°Who are you? What did you give me?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked at Xia Yu with a very gentle gaze. ¡°I¡¯m your sister¡¯s friend. You just have to remember that I won¡¯t hurt you. I don¡¯t know what these things are exactly, but I¡¯m sure they¡¯re useful to you.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu looked at the time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    Watching Wei Zimu leave, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion.

    Over the past few days, Wei Zimu had asked him to meet him almost every day and gave him some incalcbly small medicine.

    Furthermore, when the two of them met, they basically threw away all theirmunication equipment.

    <i>It was too strange.?</i>Xia Yu frowned.

    However, strangely, Xia Yu did not know if he had been deceived by Wei Zimu¡¯s disguise. He kept feeling that he should believe Wei Zimu.

    After a while, Xia Yu stuffed the small box into his arms and returned the way he came.

    However, this time, just as he walked out of the cave, Xia Yu realized that something was wrong.

    He took two steps to the right and heard small footsteps behind him. Xia Yu¡¯s expression turned cold and he pretended not to notice. He continued walking for fifty meters and disappeared around a corner.

    The person behind him caught up and realized that he had lost Xia Yu. He looked around anxiously. At this moment, Xia Yu, who had appeared out of nowhere, controlled the stalker with his weapon.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m just going up the mountain to hunt,¡± the stalker said as he reached into his pocket.

    The next second, Xia Yu knocked this person out with a strong tranquilizer and dragged him down the mountain.

    On the other hand, when Wei Zimu returned to the base, it was already two hourster.

    Yu Qian was sitting in the courtyard feeding the fish. Hearing footsteps, Yu Qian looked up. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re in a good mood.¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Yu Qian waved his hand. ¡°Come over after you¡¯re done.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu walked in. Looking at Wei Zimu¡¯s back, an inexplicable light appeared in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes.

    After losing contact with Xia Yu for nearly a week, Beijing finally could contact him again.

    ¡°I contacted the person who contacted me. He gave me some medicine. I¡¯ll return to China now.¡±

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll send someone to pick you up.¡±

    The news reached Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan immediately.

    Knowing that Xia Yu was safe now, Xia Wanyuan was much more relieved. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m going to Linxi in a few days.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re running again.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was a little dissatisfied.

    ¡°There¡¯s something to do. It¡¯s basically settled over there, but I still need to go over and take a look.¡±

    Shen Qian was very capable, but he could not guess Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts 100%. Xia Wanyuan had to go over and take a look personally before she was relieved.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Jun Shiling flipped through a page of the document and finally agreed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, Nancheng University beside Linxi City was still filled with all sorts of criticisms of Xia Wanyuan. Because of the existence of the new dynasty, the school fell into a secretpetition and silence.

    At this moment, someone suddenly saw Xia Wanyuan on the campus of Nancheng University.

    Soon, relevant posts appeared on the school forum.

    ¡°Um, I want to say that I saw Xia Wanyuan today. It shouldn¡¯t be my imagination, right?¡±

    [ The person in front, be more confident. It¡¯s really not an illusion. No one will mistake her appearance. ]

    [ Is Xia Wanyuan¡­ directly here to cause trouble??? To be honest, she¡¯s really beautiful. I thought that was the limit on television. She¡¯s even more beautiful in person. ]

    Not only were the students shocked, but even the teachers of Nancheng University were mobilized.

 Chapter 1292 - The Truth from a Hundred Years

    <h4>Chapter 1292: The Truth from a Hundred Years Ago</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Although on the surface, everyone said that they were friendly and harmonious,

    However, the teachers of Nancheng University knew very well that some of the school¡¯s leaders and factions hated Xia Wanyuan to the core. They simply treated Xia Wanyuan as the biggest enemy of Nancheng University.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan hade to Nancheng University, it almost affected the hearts of the leaders of the entire Nancheng University.

    ¡°What is she doing here?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. She didn¡¯t even greet us and came over just like that. Is she not taking our school leaders seriously?¡± The professors whispered and secretly looked out of the corridor with the students.

    In a small garden not far away, a slender figure was sitting.

    It was ss time and there were not many people in the garden. A student boldly spoke to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Professor Xia, why are you here?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly. ¡°I came in and rest.¡±

    Nancheng University was rtively close to Longqi Mountain and was rtively far from the city. The ne could not reach here, and it took a long time by car.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan would not have any problems, but after she got pregnant, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach felt ufortable from the bumpy cars. Coincidentally, they passed by Nancheng University, so Xia Wanyuan got someone to stop the car and came in to sit. In the end, this rest caused a sensation.

    Xia Wanyuan herself did not expect Nancheng University to be so concerned about her. In less than ten minutes, two leaders of Nancheng University came.

    The head of the admissions office was Wang Hui, who hated Xia Wanyuan to the core. ¡°Yo, we¡¯re really neglectful. When did Professor Xiae to our Nancheng University? If you had said so earlier, we would have sent a car to pick you up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Director Wang, you¡¯re too kind.¡±

    Wang Hui was slightly shocked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Jun to know a small person like me.¡±

    ¡°Nobodies won¡¯t know so many journal editors in Beijing.¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan said this, Wang Hui, who had been smiling fakely just now, could not smile anymore. His pupils constricted. ¡°Professor Xia, what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Wang Hui with a faint smile. Her cold eyes seemed to see through people¡¯s hearts. ¡°I just met you in Beijingst time with some chief editors and felt that you had a good rtionship.¡±

    Wang Huiughed dryly. ¡°Professor Xia, you must be joking.¡±

    He had never eaten with anyone before. The meaning of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words was nothing more than a hint to him that she already knew that he had joined forces with various journals to defame Xia Wanyuan for giarism.

    The other professors looked at each other. For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

    Xia Wanyuan was not embarrassed at all and sat leisurely on the wooden chair.

    Nancheng University was far from the city, so the environment and air were top-notch. The summer wind blew gently, and mottled shadows jumped on their faces. Ignoring the few people in front of them, it made one very happy.

    A student secretly took a photo at the side. ¡°Who do you think won the battle between the representative professor of Qing University and Nancheng University?¡±

    Theizens carried small stools over.

    [ In terms of looks alone, Xia Wanyuan won. ]

    [ In terms of temperament, Xia Wanyuan also won. ]

    [Are you crazy? They¡¯re all professors, not people who rely on their faces to make a living. Fanatic fans are so annoying.]

    [This brainless fan is here to p this pickle to death. You keep saying that she relies on her face to earn money. You¡¯re so jealous.]

    In the small garden, the director led the professors over with hostility and left dejectedly because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    ¡°You¡¯re too much. Did you see that? Xia Wanyuan is almost riding on our school¡¯s neck!¡±

    ¡°No¡­ I feel that she didn¡¯t say it either.¡± A professor tried to say his thoughts, but Wang Hui red at him. The professor immediately fell silent.

    ¡°She¡¯s too much! She¡¯s too arrogant!¡± Wang Hui mmed the desk.

    After a while, he picked up the folder, opened the door, and walked towards the school leader¡¯s office.

    The others looked at each other and shook their heads, clearly feeling helpless.

    It was not that everyone did not know that Wang Hui was arrogant and liked to light fires, but everyone knew that he was a trusted aide of the Lin family. Even the school leaders had to be polite to him, let alone ordinary people like them.

    Wang Hui stayed in the school leader¡¯s office for nearly fifteen minutes. When he came out again, he was already smiling.

    ¡°Come.¡± Wang Hui waved at the staff at the side. ¡°Hasn¡¯t that small garden not been sprayed with insecticides for a long time? Let the workers get the medicine now.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The staff was speechless. ¡°Director Wang, who injects insecticide in the middle of the day? What if the students are poisoned?¡±

    ¡°Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!¡± Wang Hui red at the staff.

    <i>Hehe, alright. You¡¯re the leader. The leader is amazing.</i>?The staff spat in his heart and went to arrange it.

    Soon, the workers surrounded the entire garden and began to spray pesticides. Wang Hui walked over smugly, but he realized that the bench was empty.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan?¡± Wang Hui frowned.

    ¡°Professor Xia left long after you left,¡± the student beside him interrupted.

    Under everyone¡¯s baffled gazes, Wang Hui left angrily.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had already arrived at the foot of Longqi Mountain in a car.

    As its name suggested, Longqi Mountain was like a sleeping dragon. The forest on the mountain was lush.

    However, because there were too many mountains, the sunlight shone on them and seemed to dim, making the entire mountain look very mysterious.

    Shen Qian had long been waiting at the foot of the mountain with his men. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Shen Qian hurriedly weed her. ¡°CEO Xia.¡±

    ¡°Mm, bring me there.¡±

    Shen Qian looked hesitant. ¡°CEO Xia, the mountain is cold. I can just bring the recording equipment in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was delicate and precious. He was worried that something would happen to her.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan had to go in and take a look personally to be at ease. ¡°Lead the way.¡±

    However, Shen Qian stood still, his face filled with hesitation. ¡°CEO Xia, why don¡¯t you discuss it with CEO Jun?¡±

    It was not that he did not want Xia Wanyuan to go in, but mainly because Jun Shiling had called just now to warn him that if he dared to let Xia Wanyuan in, he would be fired.

    Shen Qian felt bitter. In order not to get fired, he could only bite the bullet and stop Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling had definitely contacted Shen Qian in private, so she did not make things difficult for him.

    She turned around and returned to the car to call Jun Shiling.

    The phone rang once before it was picked up, but no one spoke for a long time.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out.

    A soft snort came from the other end of the line. Still, no one spoke.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was angry.

    She had just told Jun Shiling yesterday that she wasing to Longqi Mountain in two days, but Jun Shiling had not especially agreed.

    However,st night, Xia Wanyuan had a dream. In the dream, her royal brother was trapped in a huge coffin. Her younger siblings stood beside the coffin with sad expressions.

    Her royal brother¡¯s eyes were open. In her dream, those eyes were filled with endless anticipation and desire, as if they were waiting for her. The sadness was too strong, so much so that it woke Xia Wanyuan up from the dream.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up, Shen Qian happened to send her a message saying that he had found an entrance to Long Qi Mountain.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confusion was too strong. Jun Shiling had already gone to work at thepany at that time. Xia Wanyuan sent him a WeChat message and took the closest ne to Linxi.

    ¡°I had a dreamst night.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to exin to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care what dream you had. You can¡¯t enter the mountains.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s attitude was very unyielding.

    Back then, Xia Wanyuan was buried at the foot of the mountain with blood all over her. It was still deeply etched in Jun Shiling¡¯s mind. No matter what Xia Wanyuan said, he could not agree to her going in.

    ¡°Hubby.¡±

    ¡°Impossible.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned cold with non-negotiable determination. ¡°You know very well why I don¡¯t agree. This can¡¯t be discussed.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart was conflicted. On the one hand, she knew that Jun Shiling was concerned about her. On the other hand, she was worried about her younger brother. She had a feeling that the person buried in Longqi Mountain might really be her younger brother. She had to go in and find out.

    ¡°How about this?¡± Xia Wanyuan chose apromise. ¡°Aren¡¯t youing over in two days? I¡¯ll go in after youe.¡±

    ¡°You make it sound like you won¡¯t be in danger if Ie over.¡± Jun Shiling still disagreed.

    ¡°That¡¯s different. With you by my side, even if there¡¯s any danger, I won¡¯t have any regrets even if I die.¡±

    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Jun Shiling reprimanded Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Okay?¡±

    ¡°Wait for me toe over.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone softened. ¡°Before Ie over, if you dare to go in, you¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling spoke for a long time, but he could not say what he could do to Xia Wanyuan. In the end, he said, ¡°I won¡¯t eat for three days.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan burst outughing at Jun Shiling¡¯s teasing. ¡°Then your threat is quite useful. I understand. I¡¯ll wait for you toe.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s tone softened. ¡°It¡¯s cold in the mountains. Be careful not to catch a cold.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling instructed Xia Wanyuan a few more things before hanging up.

    At this moment, he pressed the bell. ¡°Lin Jing,e in.¡±

    The office door was pushed open and Lin Jing walked in with a folder. ¡°CEO Jun, Xia Yu has already arrived at Continent F. Our people have already gone to pick him up.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling signed the document in front of him. ¡°Go and investigate something. A hundred years ago, what was the reason why the Chu family moved abroad? And the Feng family.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Lin Jing was shocked.<i>?The outside world had always rumored that the two families had left because they had lost the power struggle. Could there be another secret??</i>

    He nodded respectfully. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Jun Shiling stopped Lin Jing. ¡°Pay attention to whether the Chu family and the Feng family had any contact with Longqi Mountain back then.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

 Chapter 1293 - The Princess Fights a Hundred

    <h4>Chapter 1293: The Princess Fights a Hundred</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    After Lin Jing left, Jun Shiling sat at his desk, his deep eyes surging.

    There was a reason why he asked Lin Jing to investigate the Feng family and the Chu family.

    The Lin family was now the most powerful family in the south. However, a hundred years ago, the Lin family could at most be ranked third in the south.

    At that time, the Feng family and the Chu family upied the top two seats in the south.

    Linxi was an ancient city. Back then, the Feng family and the Chu family¡¯s headquarters were in Linxi.

    A hundred years ago, the Feng family and the Chu family began to attack each other for some reason.

    Both sides were big families and their strength could not be underestimated. After ten years ofpetition, both sides were severely injured.

    Just as everyone thought that their two families were going to quieten down and get along peacefully, the Feng family and the Chu family announced at the same time that they were moving overseas, shocking all the families at that time.

    Now that more than a hundred years had passed, what had happened back then was gradually forgotten, as if those past events no longer existed.

    However, now, the strange cultural relics that had appeared in Linxi City and the dynasty in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous life seemed to be rted to Longqi Mountain beside Linxi City. This made Jun Shiling wonder if there were any other buried secrets in Linxi.

    Just as Jun Shiling was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up. It was Bo Xiao. ¡°Brother, help me. I really have no choice.¡±

    Xia Yu had not returned yet. During this period of time, Bo Xiao felt that his body had be more and more uncontroble.

    Sometimes, when he washed the bowls in the kitchen, the bowls would involuntarily slip. When he took a shower, he even had to stop for a while before he could continue.

    These signs appeared too frequently. Even someone as careless as An Rao realized that something was wrong.

    Now that the child was a few months old, it was already hard enough for An Rao to take care of the child. Now, she still had to worry about him from time to time. Bo Xiao had no choice but to look for Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling quickly got someone to look for one of Bo Xiao¡¯s former leaders. The leader begged Bo Xiao to return to the team andplete a mission that no one else couldplete in front of An Rao.

    The leader even promised An Rao confidently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll definitely be safe. I promise that I¡¯ll return you a healthy Bo Xiao, okay?¡±

    Bo Xiao looked like he wanted to participate in the mission too, so An Rao could not say anything else. After the leader left, An Rao suddenly hugged Bo Xiao¡¯s waist.

    ¡°Bo Xiao, will youe back?¡±

    Bo Xiao was stunned for a moment before knocking An Rao¡¯s head. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Can you hope that your husband will be better?? I¡¯m just on a mission in the country and I¡¯m not going abroad. Are you still worried about the safety of our country?¡±

    An Rao buried herself in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms and did not speak. She just hugged him tightly.

    Bo Xiao gritted his teeth and sighed in his heart. ¡°Wait for me toe back and bring you something delicious, okay?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want anything delicious.¡± An Rao¡¯s voice was muffled. ¡°I just want you toe back safely.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I promise you. I¡¯ll definitelye back safely.¡± Bo Xiao stroked An Rao¡¯s hair. ¡°Alright, our son is about to wake up. Go and take care of him. I¡¯ll pack my things.¡±

    An Rao nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Bo Xiao moved quickly. An hourter, he was already standing at the door with his luggage.

    Bo Xiao looked at An Rao deeply before turning around resolutely and walking out.

    Watching Bo Xiao leave, An Rao¡¯s eyes turned red.

    She stood at the door for a while, then ran to the balcony. Bo Xiao had already walked downstairs and was looking upstairs.

    Tears fell one after another. Seeing Bo Xiao wave at her downstairs, An Rao waved at Bo Xiao. ¡°Stinky Bo Xiao, do you really think I¡¯m stupid?¡±

    An Rao looked magnanimous, but she was extremely concerned about Bo Xiao.

    An Rao had noticed Bo Xiao¡¯s abnormality since a long time ago, but she did not say it and pretended not to know.

    She knew very well that everything that had happened just now was Bo Xiao and that old leader acting together.

    However, An Rao did not expose Bo Xiao. She also acted with him.

    Bo Xiao was a man with pride. An Rao knew that he did not want her to see his embarrassing side, so she cooperated with him.

    However, no matter how she acted, An Rao only had one hope, and that was that Bo Xiao could keep his word and really return safely.

    Bo Xiao had just walked to the entrance of the district when An Rao called.

    ¡°Hey, why do you miss me so quickly??¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s tone was very rxed and he even joked with An Rao.

    An Rao¡¯s voice was very low. ¡°Let me ask you something. You promised me that you woulde back safe and healthy. Can you do it?¡±

    Bo Xiao was silent for a moment before replying, ¡°Yes, I promise.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao did not say anything else and hung up.

    Looking at An Rao¡¯s wallpaper on the phone, Bo Xiao gripped his phone tightly.

    Not far away, there was already a specialized car waiting for Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao got into the car and the doctor connected him to all sorts of equipment and did a full-body examination.

    ¡°Doctor,¡± Bo Xiao suddenly said.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°No matter what method you use, you can try it on me as long as I can survive.¡± Bo Xiao looked at the doctor seriously. ¡°Please.¡±

    The doctor nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. CEO Jun has instructed us to do our best to study the solution.¡±

    The car quickly left the entrance of the neighborhood. Bo Xiao looked back with endless longing.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Linxi City.

    Ever since the news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival spread, arge number of people began to hang around the hotel where Xia Wanyuan stayed.

    After all, it was not an exaggeration to call the current Xia Wanyuan a national idol. She had fans in all ages and industries.

    Even arge portion of the students of Nancheng University liked Xia Wanyuan.

    There was no fan who did not want to see Xia Wanyuan.

    Hence, on the road where Nancheng University and Moon Bay Hotel met, a vast group had appeared in the past few days.

    As there were too many people running from the school to see Xia Wanyuan, in the end, the school was angry and even got someone to seal the road. For this, the students even erupted in protest.

    ¡°Look!! Vice-principal, look, I¡¯m right, right?!¡± Wang Hui¡¯s face was filled with anger as he ced the folder in front of the leaders. ¡°Look at whether this Xia Wanyuan is a demoness. Just because of her arrival, the students don¡¯t even want to attend ss!!¡±

    The vice-principal looked at the document in front of him. ¡°What can we do? We can¡¯t chase her away, right?¡±

    Wang Hui leaned towards the vice-principal and secretly whispered a few words in his ear. ¡°Is this okay? Is it an insult to the refined??¡±

    Wang Hui clicked his tongue. ¡°Principal, it¡¯s not that I want to say this, but look at Xia Wanyuan. She¡¯s already here to steal the limelight. At this rate, we won¡¯t be able to recruit students next year. Do you believe me?¡±

    The vice-principal deliberated for a moment. ¡°Alright, go and do this.¡±

    Soon, Wang Hui brought the school¡¯s signed documents and gathered the school¡¯s teachers for a meeting.

    Now, the teachers in the school felt a headache when they saw Wang Hui.

    There were not many drops of ink in this person¡¯s stomach, but because there was someone behind him, he jumped up and down in the school, causing a good school to be in chaos.

    ¡°Teachers, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± As usual, before Wang Hui¡¯s meeting, he had to give the teachers a sweet date.

    Then, he hit them again. ¡°I know everyone has worked hard recently, but as everyone can see, this Xia Wanyuan is too much.¡±

    The teachers were silent. Wang Hui continued, ¡°What can she do in Linxi? Didn¡¯t she speciallye to provoke us? Aren¡¯t you angry?? See if any students in your ss skipped ss to see her?¡±

    Wang Hui gave his trusted aide a look. Soon, a teacher echoed, ¡°Indeed, we should kill Xia Wanyuan¡¯s prestige.¡±

    ¡°Your words hit the nail on the head. Didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan rely on her literary talent? Let me ask you, among the teachers of our Nancheng University, which one of you is inferior to her??¡± Wang Hui guided patiently and finally revealed his true motive. ¡°I have an idea. Let¡¯s hold an academic conference in school and invite Xia Wanyuan over.¡±

    ¡°Why would you invite her over??¡±

    ¡°What else do you think we can do?¡± Wang Hui grinned. ¡°Have a literary meeting. Isn¡¯t this what schrs like to do?¡±

    Wang Hui himself had not studied much. In his opinion, whatever literary talent Xia Wanyuan had was probably obtained by spending money.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan had fought with the schrs at the Ennd Museum and was praised by everyone like a miracle. In Wang Hui¡¯s opinion, Xia Wanyuan was just bullying foreigners who did not know China¡¯s culture.

    Their Nancheng University had so many professors, but they might not be inferior to Xia Wanyuan alone. He really did not believe it.

    In a tag-team battle, they could directly crush Xia Wanyuan.

    Some teachers felt that this matter was too petty. It was too much to bully a woman like Xia Wanyuan like this.

    However, before anyone couldment, Wang Hui had already decided on this matter unterally.

    ¡°Alright, go and send Xia Wanyuan an invitation now. The official website will immediately report this matter.¡±

    While Xia Wanyuan received the invitation, the official website of Nancheng University updated a post.

    @ Nancheng University: ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that Professor Xia Wanyuan is talented in literature. It¡¯s our school¡¯s triennial literary event. We specially invited Xia Wanyuan to participate. We¡¯re looking forward to it.¡±

    [ ???? Are they that ruthless?? I feel like this is a trap. Isn¡¯t Nancheng University bullying them? There are so many professors in Nancheng University. Are they bullying Xia Wanyuan together? ]

    [ Hey, the person in front, don¡¯t talk nonsense. What do you mean by bullying Xia Wanyuan? Can¡¯t our school¡¯s teacherspare notes with Xia Wanyuan? Haven¡¯t you always said that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s literary talent is outstanding? Now, you don¡¯t dare topete? ]

    [ I¡¯ve always thought that Nancheng University is a famous school. Now, this operation has stunned me. Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t seem to have done anything. You¡¯re directly putting the words ¡°I want to bully Xia Wanyuan¡± on my face. ]

    Once Nancheng University¡¯s statement was released, Xia Wanyuan had no chance to reject it.

    After all, with the extent of the Chinese media¡¯s rumors,

    If she rejected it, the headline the next day would definitely be ¡°Xia Wanyuan is afraid of Nancheng University¡¯s challenge and chooses to reject the invitation.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not have any requirements for these empty titles, she still had the responsibility of a professor at Qing University.

    This retreat would affect the reputation of Qing University.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan fulfilled Nancheng University¡¯s wish and agreed to their invitation.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reply, Wang Hui¡¯s eyes shed.

    This time, he had finally set up a trap for Xia Wanyuan with great difficulty. Naturally, he could not let her escape so easily.

    Hence, in the name of Nancheng University, Wang Hui borrowed many famous teachers and professors from various brother schools.

    To be safe, Wang Hui even went to Lin Qingyuan. In his name, Lin Qingyuan even invited many world-ss professors from Ennd.

    Although Wang Hui was doing all of this secretly, so many great teachers in the country and the world were changing at the same time. How could they escape everyone¡¯s eyes?

    Soon, someone came out to expose.

    ¡°Do you know how shameless Nancheng University is?? They clearly agreed on an internal literature exchange in the school. I¡¯ll show you the invitation my mentor received. By the way, my mentor is a mentor in world literature. I heard that it¡¯s not just my mentor. This time, Nancheng University borrowed quite a number of big shots from all the major universities in the country and the world. It¡¯s said that it¡¯s to embarrass Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    They had always thought that the academic world was very clean and pure. Now that they saw this operation, theizens were stunned and could not believe it.

    It was only when more and more people came out to expose that the professor beside them had also received an invitation that everyone dared to believe that Nancheng University was so crazy.

    [ Amazing¡­ Is Nancheng University crazy? Is there a need?? We¡¯re all schrs. Is there a need to make things so ugly? ]

    [ The person in front, it¡¯s because they¡¯re schrs that they¡¯re causing such an ugly scene. You don¡¯t know how miserable the enrollment of Nancheng University is this year. The good top scorers are basically all going to Qing University. Isn¡¯t Nancheng University anxious to protect its status as the humanities school? ]

    [ I¡¯m starting to worry for Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan is very amazing, but she can¡¯t face so many big shots and professors alone, right? ]

    Not only were theizens worried, but the people around Xia Wanyuan were also worried for her.

    ¡°Wanyuan, why don¡¯t we find a reason to forget it?¡± Principal Yang felt a little uneasy. He knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strength, but with so many people, Xia Wanyuan could not resist.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could reply, there was a knock on Principal Yang¡¯s office door.

    ¡°Come in,¡± Principal Yang replied. The director of the literature and art departments walked in.

    ¡°Wait a moment. I have something to say to Wanyuan.¡± The principal gestured for the directors to sit first.

    The two directors stood in front of the principal. ¡°No, Principal. What we¡¯re talking about happens to be rted to Professor Xia.¡±

    Principal Yang was stunned for a moment, but he did not hang up on Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    The head of the art department and the head of the literature department looked at each other. ¡°Principal, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to give the students a break in the next few days.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Principal Yang was puzzled.?<i>There weren¡¯t many holidays recently.</i>?¡°Why are you on leave?¡±

    ¡°Because there are no more teachers.¡± The directors¡¯ faces were filled with helplessness.

    ¡°Where are the teachers?¡± Principal Yang waspletely confused by the two directors¡¯ words.

    ¡°They¡¯ve all gone to Linxi.¡± The director looked helpless. ¡°There was an uproar at Nancheng University. When the teachers heard about this, they were furious. They bought ne tickets and left.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Principal Yang raised his hand and patted his forehead. ¡°What is going on?¡±

    On the other end of the line, Xia Wanyuan was also a little helpless. ¡°Principal, why don¡¯t you let those professors go back first?¡±

    Principal Yang thought for a while. ¡°No need.¡±

    From another perspective, it might not be a bad thing.

    Because of the secret struggles between the universities in the north and south, there were all sorts of estrangements between the teachers.

    Other academics paid attention to integration, but China¡¯s academic world had already formed a separation between the north and south. It had been many years since they had a decent exchange.

    Principal Yang thought for a while. It was good to use this opportunity to let the teachers go out and receive some new information.

    ¡°Let them go.¡± Principal Yang looked at the directors in front of him. ¡°The two of you can pack up.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The two directors did not expect things to turn out like this. They hade mainly to let the principal control the scene and pull those teachers back.

    This time, even they had to go over. ¡°Okay, Principal. Let¡¯s set off now.¡±

    The directors left the office. On the other end of the line, Xia Wanyuan had roughly guessed Principal Yang¡¯s thoughts.

    All along, Xia Wanyuan had admired Principal Yang¡¯s tolerance. ¡°Principal, you¡¯re magnanimous.¡±

    Principal Yangughed out loud. ¡°Being magnanimous is one thing, but in my heart, I still hope that you can win and make me proud.¡±

    He and the principal of Nancheng University had been sworn enemies for decades. That old man made him unhappy every day. If Xia Wanyuan could disgust him, Principal Yang was happy to see it.

    ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Xia Wanyuan said a few more words to Principal Yang before hanging up.

    Xia Wanyuan put down her phone and was about to go out for a walk when her mailbox began to ring with reminders.

    Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and a helpless smile appeared in her eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan was very popr, and there were reports about her in the international media. Many people abroad naturally knew about the battle between Nancheng University and Xia Wanyuan.

    Immediately, many people were willing toe and help Xia Wanyuan.

    Among the people who were emailing Xia Wanyuan now were professors from Cambridge University, members of the American Painting and Calligraphy Association, and many internationally famous experts and schrs.

    One after another, the usually silent Linxi became the focus of the world.

    In the end, the scene was so big that even Nancheng University did not expect it. Furthermore, the development of the matter was not under their control at all.

    This literature meeting began with Nancheng University versus Xia Wanyuan.

    Now, it had be a grand event that involved the entire world and the entire Chinese academic world.

 Chapter 1295 - Opening

    <h4>Chapter 1295: Opening</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The matter had blown up so much that gradually, not only were experts and schrs from all over the world rushing over, but manyizens who were watching the show also rushed over from all over the world.

    Linxi City belonged to the old city in the south. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, but it was not famous.

    This time, it became the focus of everyone.

    More and more people came. In the end, it became a hotly discussed phenomenon internationally. International and domestic tourists swarmed over.

    Gradually, the problem arose.

    In the past, in Linxi, the passenger capacity was not big, so there were not many hotels and hostels in the city. Thus, there was a priceless house snatching phenomenon.

    The merchants had a sharp sense of smell. Everyone saw this business opportunity in the congestion. On the one hand, many merchants raised the price of hotels in the city to an astronomical price. On the other hand, they also increased the price of tents and equipment that could be used for outdoor amodation by several times.

    The tourists were miserable.

    Just as all sorts of merchants were waiting to earn money, the Moon Bay Resort, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened for business.

    The Moon Bay project had always been built in a low-key manner and was rarely open to the public. Now that it suddenly opened, it naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Only then did everyone realize that such a huge resort had appeared out of nowhere in the suburbs of Linxi City.

    Now, when there was a shortage of houses in the city, arge number of hotel rooms suddenly appeared.

    The tourists, who were originally depressed because they could not book a room, wanted tough 300 times after booking a hotel in Moon Bay.

    ¡°Hahaha, what do you mean by life?! My friend and I were about to die of sadness because we couldn¡¯t book a hotel, but in the end, we booked a hotel in Moon Bay. It¡¯s very affordable!! But the quality of this hotel!! I can only say that! It¡¯s the best I¡¯ve ever stayed in.¡±

    When some haters saw this Weibo post, they wanted to say that the blogger had never seen the world and imed that he had stayed in the best hotel.

    However, when they poked into the hotelyout shared by the blogger, the haters silently shut their mouths.

    The Moon Bay project was not personally supervised by Xia Wanyuan, but as the main investor of this project, the aesthetic concept of the entire project was done ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request.

    The overallyout of the resort reflected ¡°nature¡±.

    When this project was built, Xia Wanyuan went against everyone¡¯s objections and spent a lot of money to hire an entire designer team. After a long period of research and discussion, she designed the now natural Moon Bay Resort.

    There was not even a ce that looked like a door in the entire resort. It was irregr and uneven.

    Everything was adapted to the original terrain.

    Between the mountains and rivers, the small mounds and bags were all preserved.

    The nts here were lush to begin with. After the designers trimmed the original nts, they naturally ced some artificial flowers and nts.

    The living water ran through it. In less than two to three steps, one could see the clearke with fish and prawns swimming in it.

    [ I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying. I was originally happy that I snatched a hotel in the city, but now I¡¯mpletely unhappy. Compared to you, I feel that I¡¯m living in a straw hut. Boohoo. ]

    [ So beautiful. Where did you find such a good ce to build this resort? I¡¯m from Linxi. I didn¡¯t know that the mountains and rivers in Linxi were so beautiful. ]

    [ As a person who studies horticulture, I¡¯ve already knelt down to the design of this resort. Do you really think the mountains, rivers, and nts are natural?? The tree outside the room where the blogger lived just now can¡¯t be bought without 300,000 yuan. F*ck, it looks simple and in, but in fact, it¡¯s a natural beauty built with money!! The aesthetic standards of the resort¡¯s boss are really amazing. ]

    In Beijing, seeing today¡¯s hot financial news, Xuan Li threw the cup on the table to the ground angrily.

    ¡°Why are they always so lucky?!!¡±

    Linxi had always been a low-key city. Back then, when he saw Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan working together to open a resort there, Xuan Li had originally mocked Xuan Sheng for not using his brain for a woman.

    That lousy ce did not have tourists or tourist attractions. Only Nancheng University was more famous.

    Which normal person would go there for a vacation? In his opinion, Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cooperation would definitely lose everything.

    However, he was wrong. He did not expect things to develop to this extent.

    Who would have thought that such a hugemotion could be caused because of Xia Wanyuan? The gazes of the entire world were focused on Linxi.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, what should we do next?¡± The assistant picked up the things on the ground and looked at Xuan Li nervously.

    ¡°You¡¯re asking me?! Who should I ask?!¡± Xuan Li threw the document straight at his assistant. ¡°Get out. I¡¯m angry when I see you. If you were useful, I wouldn¡¯t be so annoyed.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The assistant quietly left.

    At this moment, in World Glory Corporation, Xuan Sheng looked at the bodyguard Shen Qian had just sent over with a smile in his eyes.

    Assistant Xiao Wang was very happy. ¡°CEO Xuan, Miss Xia is indeed a miracle. She can actually make the entire Linxi a popr city.¡±

    In fact, before the Moon Bay project opened, there were already professionals in the industry who had predicted the future of the resort¡¯s operation.

    Actually, the prediction results were not good. After all, Linxi¡¯s size was there.

    However, the design of the resort was indeed not bad. Although Xuan Sheng and the rest were a little worried, they still felt that as long as it was operated well and the word of mouth spread over time, the business situation would slowly improve in the future.

    However, no one had expected that on the eve of the opening, Nancheng University and Xia Wanyuan would appear.

    Linxi became popr immediately. Even on the first day of the resort¡¯s opening, the entire resort¡¯s hotel was filled with people.

    It was really a good start.

    As Xuan Sheng flipped through the documents, the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°She¡¯s a miracle to begin with.¡±

    The assistant was still smiling, but when he heard Xuan Sheng¡¯s words, he could not smile anymore. He looked at Xuan Sheng hesitantly, afraid that Xuan Sheng would take things too hard again.

    However, Xuan Sheng seemed to be in a good mood. After reading the document, he signed it. ¡°Alright, help me book a ne ticket. I¡¯m going to Linxi.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The assistant was a little hesitant. ¡°CEO Xuan, you¡­¡±

    Xuan Sheng could not help but knock his assistant¡¯s head with a document. ¡°What are you thinking? Other than liking Xia Wanyuan, I¡¯m also the second investor in the Moon Bay project. I¡¯ll go and see if there¡¯s a problem with my project.¡±

    The assistant chuckled in his heart and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Okay, CEO Xuan. I¡¯ll arrange it for you immediately.¡±

    After the assistant left, Xuan Sheng shook his head, closed the lid of the pen, and opened the drawer to look for the document he had just ced.

    However, he used a little too much strength and identally pulled the drawer open. A pile of things fell out of the drawer.

    Xuan Sheng subconsciously nced at the things on the ground and stared at a stack of small cards.

    Xuan Sheng bent down and picked up the small card. When he saw the crooked Chinese words on it, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes darkened.

    This was left in his drawer by Feng Wuyou back then. Feng Wuyou¡¯s Chinese words were not good, but she liked to practice calligraphy.

    Back then, when she was with Xuan Sheng, Feng Wuyou would often use Xuan Sheng¡¯s documents as the foundation for her calligraphy practice.

    Thinking of Feng Wuyou, Xuan Sheng¡¯s aura became a little solemn.

    At that moment, Xuan Sheng¡¯s phone suddenly rang.

    Xuan Sheng picked it up and narrowed his eyes. He pressed the answer button. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s voice came from the other end. At that moment, Chu Yi¡¯s voice had a hint of power andziness. He was like a lion that had eaten and drunk its fill. He waszy, but no one dared to underestimate him.

    Xuan Sheng snorted. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to let Young Master Chu call me CEO Xuan. Why are you looking for me?¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s hand that was holding the phone paused slightly. ¡°I want to ask, at that time, Wuyou¡­¡±

    Before Chu Yi could finish speaking, Xuan Sheng interrupted him. ¡°Which Wuyou? I¡¯m sorry, are you talking about Feng Wuyou, whose entire family was destroyed by you? The Feng Wuyou, who was killed by you?¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s tone was filled with intense usation and a few hints of pain.

    Chu Yi was momentarily speechless. He opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Xuan Sheng¡¯s tone was a little sharp. ¡°You¡¯ve already destroyed Feng Wuyou¡¯s entire life. Is there a point ining over and being hypocritical??¡±

    Chu Yi directly hung up.

    Outside the room, Su Yao had just walked to the door when she heard Chu Yi call out to CEO Xuan.

    Su Yao¡¯s heart sank, and she walked in with a calm expression.

    She was wearing a light-colored floral dress today and a slender ne around her neck, making her neck look slender and beautiful.

    This was ady outfit that Feng Wuyou would never wear.

    Chu Yi looked up at Su Yao and his gaze rolled over her. ¡°If there¡¯s a next time and you don¡¯t wear the red dress I specified, you can get out of here.¡±

    Su Yao¡¯s expression turned slightly cold. ¡°Young Master, but I don¡¯t like red dresses.¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s expression suddenly darkened. ¡°How many times do you want me to tell you?¡±

    Su Yao lowered her head and did not speak, as if she had been hurt by Chu Yi.

    Looking at Su Yao¡¯s disappointed expression, Chu Yi suddenly felt a little sad. He pursed his lips. ¡°Look up.¡±

    Su Yao looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

    Chu Yi waved at Su Yao. ¡°Come here.¡±

    Su Yao walked over and stood in front of Chu Yi.

    Chu Yi reached out and pulled Su Yao into his arms. Then, he gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his sleeve.

    As if shocked by Chu Yi¡¯s actions, Su Yao looked up at Chu Yi, her bright and innocent eyes carrying a hint of joy.

    ¡°Thank you, Young Master.¡± Su Yao¡¯s voice was sweet like a lily in spring, fresh and gentle.

    It waspletely different from Feng Wuyou¡¯s enthusiasm.

    Chu Yi was stunned for a moment. He carried Su Yao on hisp and did not do anything else.

    Chu Yi was quite gentle today. Not only did he not lose his temper, but he also hugged Su Yao and chatted with her for a while.

    Tell me, how did you live in the past?¡± Chu Yi asked Su Yao as he read the document.

    Sitting in Chu Yi¡¯s arms, Su Yao¡¯s heart was cold, but there was a faint smile on her face. ¡°My parents immigrated to America a long time ago. I grew up in America.¡±

    Chu Yi paused in his actions. ¡°You grew up in America too?¡±

    Su Yao looked at Chu Yi in confusion. ¡°Young Master, is there a problem?¡±

    Chu Yi shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Continue.¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s study had huge French windows.

    A gentle breeze blew in from the garden outside the window, lifting Su Yao¡¯s hair and wrapping it around Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder.

    The butler stood outside the door and looked from afar. Chu Yi was carrying Su Yao, and the study was silent. He thought that Old Master was right.?<i>As long as a man had a new one, the old one was nothing.</i>

    However, in the study, Su Yao and Chu Yi did not look so harmonious at all.

    Because Su Yao had just mentioned that she liked daisies.

    When she said that, she could clearly feel Chu Yi¡¯s expression darken.

    ¡°In the future, not only must you wear a red dress, but you can¡¯t like daisies either, understand?¡± Chu Yi¡¯s cold gazended on Su Yao¡¯s face.

    Su Yao looked at Chu Yi in confusion. ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no reason.¡± Chu Yi was not prepared to exin to Su Yao. ¡°Alright, go and change your clothes now. Otherwise, disappear from this ce immediately.¡±

    Su Yao pursed her lips. ¡°Okay, Young Master. I¡¯ll change now.¡±

    Ten minutester, Su Yao walked in in a bright red dress with slightly curly hair.

    Chu Yi looked up and fell into deep thought as if he was frozen.

    They were too simr. Their facial features and expressions clearly did not look alike, but Su Yao gave Chu Yi an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

    Especially when she was wearing a red dress. She was like a passionate red rose that burned Chu Yi¡¯s eyes.

    Su Yao stood at the door and could feel the pain in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes from afar. Her heart ached slightly.

    She really wanted to go forward and ask if there was any point in Chu Yi putting on an act now.

    Since he would asionally think of her, the person he had personally destroyed, why could he be ruthless back then?

    Su Yao tidied up her expression and walked forward. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Chu Yi replied and looked at Su Yao with a deep gaze that made Su Yao unable to guess his thoughts.

    Chu Yi closed the pen in his hand and pushed the document aside. He stood up and picked Su Yao up.

    Su Yao was shocked and subconsciously hugged Chu Yi¡¯s neck.

    Chu Yi lowered his head and nced at Su Yao. Su Yao¡¯s bright eyes seemed to have magic power that made one intoxicated.

    ¡°Young Master?¡± Su Yao¡¯s voice trembled.

    Chu Yi carried Su Yao and walked straight into the bedroom.

    When she was ced on the bed and looked at Chu Yi, who was untying his tie, Su Yao¡¯s eyes finally became flustered. ¡°Young Master, you¡­¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yi leaned over.

    Su Yao struggled twice but was held down by Chu Yi. ¡°Shut up. You were sent here. Don¡¯t you know what you¡¯re here for?¡±

    As soon as Chu Yi finished speaking, Su Yao fell silent. She looked at Chu Yi¡¯s handsome face that was inches away from her, and her eyes were filled with panic and resignation.

    Their batch of people was originally sent here to be Chu Yi¡¯s ythings.

    Chu Yi reached for the remote control and closed the doors and windows in the bedroom. The room fell into darkness.

    After some time, themotion in the room stopped. Su Yao groaned, and her eyes were filled with tears from the pain.

    Sensing that obstacle, not only was Chu Yi not happy at all, but he also seemed to have suddenly calmed down.

    He switched on the light and looked at Su Yao¡¯s face in front of him. It was as if a basin of cold water had poured down on his head, calming him down.

    Chu Yi got out of bed, put on a shirt, and walked to the window.

    Su Yao turned to look at Chu Yi¡¯s back. Tears and sweat mixed on her face. In a ce where Chu Yi could not see, Su Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred.

    In front of the window, Chu Yi had been standing for an unknown period of time. Countless cigarette butts had fallen to the ground.

    The entire bedroom fell silent.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in China, Xuan Sheng had already arrived at the Beijing airport and was preparing to head to Linxi.

    Then, before he could get on the ne, he turned around and saw Jun Shiling walking over.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Xuan Sheng took the initiative to greet Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Are you going to Linxi?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng nodded.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and walked past Xuan Sheng to get on the ne.

    Hence, not long after, the reporters in Linxi City saw the two of them walking hand in hand.

 Chapter 1297 - I Beg You to Come

    <h4>Chapter 1297: I Beg You to Come</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xuan Sheng liked Xia Wanyuan, and it was needless to say how possessive Jun Shiling was of her.

    However, what everyone saw now was that Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng were chatting about something. They seemed to have a good rtionship.

    [ I silently imagined countless dramas. Didn¡¯t they say that Xuan Sheng loved Xia Wanyuan but could not get her? He can actually smile when facing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s husband. He¡¯s a ruthless person. ]

    [Perhaps what you saw was them chatting andughing. Only I think these two are secretlypeting¡­]

    At that moment, in the airport, Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling were walking side by side. Seeing that they had arrived at the door, Xuan Sheng smiled at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°CEO Jun, take care. Please help me pass a message. When Xia Wanyuan is done with the literature society, I want to talk to her about the Moon Bay project.¡±

    With that, before Jun Shiling could answer, Xuan Sheng got into the car and left.

    ¡°¡­¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened as he watched Xuan Sheng leave.

    In the car, the assistant looked at Xuan Sheng carefully. He did not know what his boss was thinking. He had been provoking Jun Shiling on the way here and had to anger him before he left.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, will you be hostile to CEO Jun like this?¡± The assistant was really worried that Xuan Sheng would go too far.

    If Jun Shiling stood on Xuan Li¡¯s side, their situation would be even more difficult.

    Xuan Sheng did not look worried at all. ¡°The person Xia Wanyuan likes is not so petty.¡±

    The assistant turned around silently and did not say anything else.

    In the resort, Xia Wanyuan was leading everyone to inspect Moon Bay.

    This ce was notpletely open to the public. At the moment, only the hotel was open for business. Many attractions were still waiting to open.

    The staff was a little puzzled. ¡°CEO Xia, isn¡¯t this the most popr period recently? Why didn¡¯t you open the entire resort project to the public in one go?¡±

    ¡°Not yet,¡± Xia Wanyuan said simply.

    The staff looked at each other.?<i>Isn¡¯t it popr enough now? When will it be considered high poprity??</i>

    Everyone was about to continue asking when Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang.

    She picked it up and said a few words before smiling. ¡°Okay, I¡¯lle out now.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan said a few words to the staff and left.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the entrance of the resort.

    Seeing Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan jogged over. Jun Shiling opened his arms to catch her, lowered his head, and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling had always taken care of Xia Wanyuan meticulously. In addition, after Xia Wanyuan got pregnant, she was even more picky in all aspects.

    Jun Shiling had note over for the past few days, and Xia Wanyuan felt ufortable everywhere.

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan carefully. ¡°You¡¯ve lost weight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Now that you came, I¡¯ll put on weight again.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached and he was amused. He stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± With Jun Shiling by her side, Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood.

    While Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood, the people at Nancheng University were all extremely worried.

    Because there were too many people. Nancheng University was originally preparing to hold a literature meeting on campus.

    However, they realized that the venue was not enough at all. Even thergest stadium in the school might not be able to amodate so many people and audience.

    Furthermore, even if the school was willing to use the stadium as the venue for the literature conference, the teachers felt that they had lost that mood.

    Everyone discussed.

    In the end, someone suggested an idea. It was to be held in Moon Bay Resort. There was arge area that could be used as a venue.

    This idea was agreed by most people.

    Most people did not know that Xia Wanyuan was the boss behind Moon Bay, let alone the leaders of Nancheng University.

    Such matters of contacting the venue and organizing events had always been the easiest to fish for benefits. Wang Hui naturally did not want to let go of this opportunity.

    He volunteered to coordinate with the resort.

    <strong></strong>

 Chapter 1298 - Petty

    <h4>Chapter 1298: Petty</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Wang Hui wanted to be in charge of this matter. Firstly, he wanted to cooperate with the resort to reap some benefits. Secondly, he wanted to see if he could contact the resort first and take the hosting power.

    As long as he was in charge of the venue, it would be easy for Xia Wanyuan to have an ident.

    With this thought in mind, Wang Hui got someone to buy a pile of cigarettes and wine and entered the resort.

    Shen Qian went to receive Wang Hui.

    Wang Hui relied on his ability to call the shots in Linxi and boasted of his strong social skills.

    However, he did not realize that the main reason why he could do whatever he wanted in Linxi was because the Lin family was standing behind him.

    As Wnag Hui talked to Shen Qian, not only did it make Wang Hui feel that he had yed Shen Qian around, but he had also sold himself clean.

    After Wang Hui left the resort, Shen Qian ryed Wang Hui¡¯s intentions to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Just do as he wants.¡± Xia Wanyuan nestled on the sofa. ¡°Give him whatever he wants.¡±

    Once a person like Wang Hui was let loose, he wouldpletely let go of the dark thoughts in his heart.

    What happened to Wang Hui in the end depended on how evil he was.

    ¡°Okay.¡± After saying what had happened at Wang Hui, Shen Qian reported the situation at Long Qi Mountain to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°We¡¯ve already detected that the maic field under the mountain is chaotic. The professionals say that this is because there¡¯s arge amount of mercury at the foot of the mountain.¡±

    After hearing Shen Qian¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan sat up from the sofa. ¡°Mercury?¡±

    This time, she was even more suspicious of her thoughts.

    ¡°Yes, because of the mercury, they don¡¯t dare to dig down easily. I contacted the professionals in Beijing. They¡¯re on their way.¡±

    ¡°I understand. Go back first.¡±

    After Shen Qian left, Xia Wanyuan looked at the cultural relics sent by the professors of Nancheng University again.

    They were all fragments and iplete. Other than being the products of the dynasty Xia Wanyuan had lived in, nothing else could be seen.

    Thinking of the dream she had once had, Xia Wanyuan sighed slightly.

    ¡°What are you thinking about? Why are you sighing?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and kissed Xia Wanyuan.

    Feeling the warmth on her face, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t kiss me for no reason.¡±

    Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Can¡¯t I kiss you? Why are you so domineering?¡±

    ¡°Then don¡¯t casually¡­¡± Ever since Jun Shiling came to Linxi, he had always kissed her when he had the chance. There were a few times when others saw it.

    No matter how strong Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mental quality was, she would feel embarrassed to be stared at by others.

    Jun Shiling leaned forward and kissed Xia Wanyuan a few more times on the cheek, his eyes filled with smugness. ¡°I just want to kiss.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling away. ¡°I want to talk to you about serious matters.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡± Every time Xia Wanyuan looked petty, Jun Shiling felt that she was especially cute and wanted to tease her.

    ¡°Tomorrow is the literature meeting at Nancheng University. I want to enter the mountains the day after tomorrow.¡±

    Hearing about entering the mountain, Jun Shiling took two steps back and the smile on his face faded a little. ¡°I¡¯ll go in. Wait outside.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan was very determined. ¡°I have a feeling that if I don¡¯t go, I won¡¯t be able to find that ce.¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a while. It was useless for him to stop Xia Wanyuan from something she had decided on. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll apany you in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to lean over and hug Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°You¡¯re the best.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. ¡°Don¡¯t give me that.¡±

    Wang Hui sessfully borrowed the resort venue. Shen Qian sent someone to help him decorate it overnight.

    The next morning, arge number of people set off from Nancheng University. Many professors of the resort were already prepared.

    Media reporters from all over the country surrounded the entire resort tightly. There were even major video websites. Because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s high poprity, a special live-stream channel was opened, attracting arge number of viewers to watch online.

    [I want to feel the professors crush my intelligence. Come, big shots!!]

    [ Ever since I, a fish that slipped through the after nine years of obligation, became Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fan, I¡¯ve either been watching the painting and calligraphy exhibition, the literary exchange, or cultural science. I almost thought I was a person who loved to learn. ]

 Chapter 1299 - Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 1299: Banquet</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The experts, schrs, and professors followed the staff to the designated ce.

    When they arrived at the literature club venue and saw the surrounding scenery, everyone immediately felt excited.

    Wang Hui handed the power to arrange the venue to Shen Qian, who did it ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s preferences.

    The entire venue was at the foot of Longqi Mountain, the size of nearly six football fields. It was surrounded by mountains, and a waterfall was hanging not far away. Mountain springs flowed out from the peak and meandered past the foot of the mountain.

    The vegetation was flourishing, and flowers and birds were everywhere.

    Coincidentally, the weather today was especially good. The blue sky was filled with white clouds, and the sun hung high in the distance, casting golden light on the ground. The river was illuminated with golden ripples.

    There were all sorts of trees and stones in the venue, but there were no tables and chairs.

    A professor called the staff over and asked where they were going to sit. The staff pointed at the stones and various trees.

    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ve already gotten someone to wipe it clean overnight.¡±

    With that, the staff left.

    Looking at the rocks everywhere, this group of professors who had been used to sitting on soft chairs for a long time were dumbfounded. The experts and schrs from all over the world were also a little stunned.

    At that moment, there was amotion in the crowd not far away. Everyone looked over and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over apanied by everyone.

    Xia Wanyuan greeted some familiar people, then casually found a ce to sit down. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had sat down, the others stopped being pretentious and found suitable seats to sit down.

    Amidst the birds¡¯ chirping and the fragrance of flowers, there was a gurgling stream. What entered their eyes was beautiful mountains and clear water. Everyone sat on the limestone b, their hearts filled with poetry.

    Seeing the scale of thousands of people, Wang Hui was extremely smug. He had single-handedly facilitated this event. He stood up with a script and prepared to give an opening speech.

    However, Wang Hui was used to lording over the school and did not realize that not everyone would buy it.

    He walked to the middle and had just taken out the speech when a professor asked, ¡°The professor standing here, how many books have you published? How many papers have you published?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Wang Hui was speechless. He was about to say that he was the organizer and that it had nothing to do with his results.

    However, before he could retort, the other professors turned their heads to the side, looking like they did not want to talk to him at all.

    Wang Hui¡¯s face was red and green. Under the instructions of the leader of Nancheng University, he finally sat down.

    Everyone present was basically a big shot. No one had the right to lead the world¡¯s experts and schrs. In the end, no one came out to start.

    The literature conference naturally began.

    Because there were arge number of springs and streams at the foot of the mountain, everyone exchanged their opinions through these streams.

    The people upstream wrote a topic of discussion and ced it on a small te in the water. The small te slowly flowed down the stream. Whoever took it wrote their opinion on the paper.

    If the professors and schrs behind agreed with the previous point of view, they would tick this person¡¯s point of view. If they did not agree, they would write different arguments behind.

    In addition to all sorts of discussion topics, there was also an exchange between calligraphy and painting.

    Not only did everyone draw separately, but sometimes, they even used a theme as the core. One would draw half of it, then ce the painting on the water and float it to another ce for others to draw the other half.

    Later on, not only were there all sorts of paintings, but there were also tea and pastries floating in the stream.

    This exchange was originally scheduled to take ce in the morning, but everyone¡¯s nature was too high. In the end, they even ate lunch on the spot.

    Theizens watched the live broadcast through the screen and were filled with envy.

    There were many cameras filming the experts and schrs. Seeing their topics and all sorts of casual paintings and paintings, the audience had no other thoughts other than wanting to kneel.

    Although everyone had heard at first that the literature meeting this time was filled with big shots,

    However, when they really saw who was at the scene, other than saying awesome, everyone could not say anything else.

    Because of the battle between Xia Wanyuan, Qing University, and Nancheng University, the literature meeting this time had almost attracted all the top schrs in China.

    As for internationally, Nancheng University had paid a huge price to invite them over. Naturally, they were all very famous international figures. Those who could get to know Xia Wanyuan were all immortal big shots that could only be seen in textbooks.

    [Anyone present is an author from a textbook or in a photo that can be found in a book.]

    [How awesome¡­ I can already foresee how much this exchange will affect our country¡¯s literary development. Just the topics they studied just now will definitely be a popr topic in the literary world in the future.]

    [I thought this was just an argument. I never expected it to end up like this. It¡¯s too ruthless.]

    [ Only I think that if they organize a gathering here, will it have the same taste as the Lanting Gathering back then?? Back then, the Lanting Gathering produced a great work like the Orchid Pavilion Collection. I wonder how many shocking works will appear at this event. ]

    To schrs, they were really particr about inspiration. They were probably infected by this scenery and atmosphere.

    After the event ended that day, everyone strongly suggested that it continue.

    Hence, the half-day exchangested for three days.

 Chapter 1300 - Entering the Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 1300: Entering the Mountain</h4>

    Any progress was not obtained by being self-sufficient. In the past few years, because of the factional disputes in the north and south, everyone had studied alone. It was rare for them to sit together andmunicate peacefully like this.

    Furthermore, even if they were sitting together tomunicate, due to various official restrictions, everyone was saying some polite words.

    And at this literature meeting, no one knew who had written the topics passed down from the upper reaches. There were no factional disputes between them, and no one knew each other.

    Hence, they spoke freely and expressed their thoughts to their heart¡¯s content.

    In the end, after the event ended, everyone¡¯s manuscripts alone filled ten rooms.

    !!

    Not to mention all sorts of paintings and paintings, as well as all sorts of information that everyonemunicated orally. The professional staff had sorted it out for about three days, but they had not finished.

    At this moment, everyone only felt that this event was very lively. They did not realize how far-reaching an impact this event would have on the entire Chinese academic world.

    Because this meeting was held at the foot of Longqi Mountain,ter generations called this meeting ¡°Longqi Gathering¡±.

    During this gathering, some were happy, while others were sad.

    In Nancheng University, everyone was gathered in the meeting room. Wang Hui sat at the side with a gloomy expression.

    He really could not understand why everyone¡¯s focus was on Xia Wanyuan in the end when it was clearly an event organized by Nancheng University.

    Although everyone present was basically a big shot, the media reporters needed the poprity of the news, so they naturally would find the most popr person to film.

    In the past three days, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various actions had been under everyone¡¯s cameras.

    How many thesis opinions she had published, how many paintings she had drawn, and how many words she had written were all transmitted to the world through the camera.

    The key was that the quality of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works was quite high. Every one of them caused a huge shock in the academic world.

    ¡°She really knows how to hype things up. I wonder how much Jun Shiling spent on her,¡± Wang Hui said bitterly.

    He did not believe that Xia Wanyuan, a woman, could really have such great achievements. He felt that she had only married a good man and was willing to spend money on marketing.

    The other professors nced at Wang Hui. The moment they lowered their heads, their eyes were filled with disdain.

    Although they were not from the same school or camp as Xia Wanyuan, everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan did have the strength.

    ¡°No, how can we let Xia Wanyuan continue to be so arrogant?¡± Wang Hui mmed the table and stood up. ¡°The few of you, follow me and study Xia Wanyuan¡¯s work.¡±

    Seeing Wang Hui take a few people away, the remaining professors looked at each other.

    ¡°This person is really used to being arrogant in our school. Now, he dares to provoke anyone.¡±

    ¡°Ignore him. He¡¯ll harm himself sooner orter.¡±

    Nancheng University was in chaos. On Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, after sending off many professors, she began to prepare to enter the mountains.

    Jun Shiling still had lingering fear about Xia Wanyuan being buried in the mountains.

    This time, Jun Shiling had sent a team of thousands of people and all sorts of experts to apany them for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s safety.

    That morning, the mighty group entered the mountain.

    Shen Qian had already dug a hole with his men in the early stages. Jun Shiling walked in front and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand as they walked in.

    After walking in for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the end of the hole.

    A group of people stood in front with detectors in their hands.

    ¡°CEO Jun, on the other side of this mud wall, there are obvious traces of mercury.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1301: Catb</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The cave where Xia Wanyuan was standing was surrounded by rock walls on both sides, barely able to amodate one person.

    Jun Shiling turned his body and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, signaling the person standing behind to retreat.

    The professional technicians built a passageway that could withstand the copse of the mountain just in case.

    Under heavy safety protection, Jun Shiling gave Shen Qian an order. ¡°Open it.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The people who had been prepared carefully followed the route they had long studied and slowly dug.

    The rockyers here were much harder than outside. The staff dug for a long time but could not break through.

    Xia Wanyuan had been standing at the side and watching. The mountain here was ck, and the sound of digging was very crisp.

    Just as the staff was about to change directions and continue digging, Xia Wanyuan walked over. She looked at it seriously and drew arge circle. ¡°Get rid of all the soil on this.¡±

    Although the staff were puzzled, she was the boss, so no one could say anything. They followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions and removed the soil on the entire stone wall.

    As the soil and rocks fell, the rockyer hidden behind the soil and rocks gradually appeared in front of everyone. This rock waspletely ck and had spiral patterns, inexplicably revealing a sense of mystery.

    ]The moment she saw this rock, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    Growing up in the Xia Dynasty¡¯s royal family, she was quite familiar with this rock.

    This was a type of ink stone produced in Yuxu Mountain. Because the stone wall was hard, it would not be corroded by rain mosquitoes. It was used for the wall of the royal tomb in her previous life. Furthermore, because the production was scarce, only emperors were qualified to use such a thing.

    The staff collected a sample and tested it on the spot. They were immediately shocked.

    This kind of rock could not be found in the current records. In other words, this was a brand new type.

    Furthermore, from the test results, this rock was abnormally hard and could not be chiseled open with existing tools. No wonder they could not open it after working for so long.

    ¡°Madam, CEO Jun, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t enter today. We have to study the digging tools to enter the rock wall again.¡±

    With that, the staff was about to get up and pack his things when Xia Wanyuan walked to the side, picked up the digging tool, and knocked on the rock. Then, everyone saw that cracks had actually appeared on such a hard rock wall.

    Xia Wanyuan handed the tool in her hand to the staff. ¡°Knock ten times in the middle of every spiral pattern, then chisel along each spiral pattern.¡±

    Everyone took the tools and did as Xia Wanyuan said. There was actually a crack. Some of the professionals present looked at Xia Wanyuan with shining eyes. Because Jun Shiling was standing at the side, everyone suppressed their curiosity.

    Everyone chiseled for nearly two hours before finally cracking the rock wall.

    The staff pulled open arge protective shield and let the others retreat a little. He pulled the mechanism and the entire rock wall copsed.

    After testing that the air released by the other party was not poisonous, everyone removed the protective shield and the scene opposite appeared in front of everyone.

    At this moment, even Jun Shiling could not help but be shocked by the scene behind the stone wall.

    Behind the rock wall was a long corridor. What surprised everyone was not the corridor, but the countless burning lights that extended to the end.

    In such a deep underground, bright red mes jumped on thempstands, inexplicably making one¡¯s heart turn cold.

    The staff looked at the burningmpstand and looked at each other. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on their backs.

    Logically speaking, it was impossible for a sealed tomb to have such heated lights.

    After all, this was under the mountain, and the oxygen was rtively thin to begin with. In addition, Longqi Mountain was located in a humid area, and the water content in the air was very high. How could the me burn so vigorously?

    Unless this tomb had already been dug up and another ce could send in enough oxygen. However, before they came, they had already brought people to check the entire mountain. There were no signs of it being dug up.

    In such a confined space, everyone immediately felt guilty when such a light burned.

    !!

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± The leading staff was experienced and felt that there was something strange about this tomb. He wanted to persuade Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to leave first, but Xia Wanyuan had already pulled Jun Shiling closer to the hole.

    This narrow cave could only amodate one person to walk through. There were extremely colorful murals on both sides of the corridor. The murals were lifelike, and the figures and scenery seemed to be recreating the prosperous scene from a thousand years ago.

    The experts were stunned. With so many well-preserved murals, no matter who the owner of the tomb was, this was something that could shock the history world.

    Xia Wanyuan was also very shocked. She looked at the murals on both sides and felt that they were extremely familiar.

    This was the work of the royal painter, and there was even a shadow of her style.

    Everyone kept walking in, but this corridor hole was like a bottomless pit. No matter how long they walked, it was as if they could not finish walking.

    Suddenly, Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked around. ¡°We walked into a maze.¡±

    ¡°No way. Haven¡¯t we always been in the same cave?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°The person who designed this mechanism used the changing colors of the murals to cross many confusing paths.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan recalled. ¡°When we saw the second mural, we had already walked into the fork.¡±

    Everyone immediately panicked and looked around. It was obvious that they could not believe that they were already trapped inside.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the surrounding murals seriously. In a daze, she seemed to be in many real and fake paintings.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes. If it were anyone else, they would probably never be able to find a way out.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was different. She quickly found the right path.

    ¡°Follow the direction pointed by the Buddha statue on the mural,¡± Xia Wanyuan said as she held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and walked forward.

    As she had said, not long after, everyone passed through the cave and turned a corner. Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone eximed.

    In this underground cave, there was actually arge rift valley. The bottom of the valley was unfathomable. From one side of the rift to the other, there was only a small bridge.

    Looking at the thin support line, everyone suspected that this bridge probably could not have people crossing it at all.

    Just as everyone was discussing, only Xia Wanyuan looked at the bridge thoughtfully.

    Back then, when she was building the mausoleum for her father and mother, she and her younger brother had gone to the scene to take a look. There was also such a small bridge in her father¡¯s mausoleum.

    Every time, only one person could pass through, and there was a specific crossing point. If one stepped on the wrong ce, they would fall into a bottomless abyss.

    Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and shook the rope of the bridge, seeing the familiar patterns on it.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was finally 100% certain that the person lying in the tomb opposite was her younger brother.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression and knew what she wanted to do. He walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to build the bridge. Don¡¯t take the risk.¡±

    ¡°No, you can only pass through this ce.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew the design. In order to prevent grave robbers from entering the tomb,

    The only way to enter was through this bridge. If he used another method, there would be thousands of mechanisms waiting on the other side.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°Trust me. It¡¯s okay. Let them retreat first.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Lin Jing, who immediately retreated to the cave behind with the others.

    Xia Wanyuan recalled the steps she had heard the old master mention back then. She stood at the edge of the bridge.

    Jun Shiling tied a safety rope to her waist. ¡°Wait for me opposite when you get there. I¡¯ll go with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan had expected, she followed the point of crossing the bridge and stepped over step by step. The seemingly slender bridge was as stable as a rock.

    After Xia Wanyuan went over, Jun Shiling followed closely behind.

    At this point, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan knew that there might be a secret hidden in the mausoleum.

    The two of them could just enter. There was no need for others to enter for the time being.

    Xia Wanyuan was too familiar with such a royal tomb. She pulled Jun Shiling in as if they were in an uninhabited ce.

    The opposite side of the rift valley was only the entry level. From the moment they crossed the bridge, they could truly enter the core of the tomb.

    As Xia Wanyuan opened the mechanism again and again, doors opened in front of the two of them.

    Looking at the room filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, even Jun Shiling, who had seen countless rare items, could not help but be a little surprised. Only the emperor could enjoy such a tomb standard.

    Xia Wanyuan walked all the way in and finally stopped in front of an exquisitely carved door.

    She looked at the patterns on the door and suddenly reached out to bite it with her teeth. Bright red blood seeped out, and Xia Wanyuan dripped the blood on the door.

    With a creak, the door that had been sealed for many years opened and dust fell.

    Amidst the dust, Xia Wanyuan saw the huge coffin in the deepest part of the tomb.

    The room where the coffin was ced was quiterge. It was built with four pure gold pirs around it. The murals around it were all painted with gold. The lights in the room burned fiercely, as if they would never be extinguished.

    At this moment, in the corridor cave, everyone looked inside anxiously.

    ¡°CEO Jun and Madam will be fine, right? Why didn¡¯t they let us follow? Speaking of which, I really want to see what¡¯s on the other side of the rift.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s very strange? Why does Madam Jun know so much?? I didn¡¯t even see those mechanisms before she found a way to crack them.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s Professor Xia. She¡¯s quite amazing to begin with. Didn¡¯t they say that Mrs. Jun is also a historian? The kind that even Nancheng University is very afraid of.¡±

    Everyone whispered. Lin Jing nced over and everyone hurriedly swallowed their words.

    Lin Jing looked in worriedly, wondering how Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were doing.

 Chapter 1303 - Coffin Talisman

    <h4>Chapter 1303: Coffin Talisman</h4>

    At this moment, in the tomb, Xia Wanyuan was standing in front of the huge coffin and looking at the surrounding situation.

    ording to the customs of their previous lives, there was a pair of white jade lions guarding the emperor¡¯s tomb. However, now, she did not see the pair of white jade lions.

    Jun Shiling stood at the side and sized up his surroundings. Suddenly, his expression turned slightly cold as he walked to the side. Just as he bent down to pick up the things that had fallen on the ground,

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan gently moved the coffin.

    With this shift, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression changed.

    In order to preserve the corpse, the emperor¡¯s coffin would be sealed. However, at this moment, when she gently pushed it, she actually felt the coffin tremble slightly.

    ¡°Jun Shiling,e here for a while. Help me,¡± Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling, who walked over.

    Xia Wanyuan pointed at the coffin lid in front of her. ¡°Help me push this.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pressed the coffin lid while Jun Shiling pulled the other side.

    The coffin lid was very heavy. The two of them spent a lot of effort and finally moved it away.

    Looking at everything in the coffin, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other¡¯s eyes.

    At this moment, there were arge number of rare treasures ced in the coffin. Every one of them was priceless, but the most precious thing did not exist.

    This was an empty tomb.

    There was no trace of the person who should have been lying in the coffin. Even though a thousand years had passed and the corpse had decayed, there should be some traces, but there were none.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan to the side and pointed something on the carpet to her. ¡°Someone should havee to this tomb a long time ago.¡±

    A corner of the carpet was filled with very small metal pieces. That was not something that should appear in this ce.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and picked up the small metal piece. ¡°Can you seal this ce first?¡±

    Before the matter was investigated, she did not want this mausoleum to appear in front of the world.

    ¡°Sure.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to seal this ce.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked around. ¡°I want to stay a while more.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    At this moment, in Continent F, in the underground secret passage of the Chu family, Chu Yi was standing in front of the ice coffin and looking at the ancient man lying in it.

    ¡°Is there still no way to undo the symbols on it?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Behind Chu Yi stood a man in a long robe and sses. ¡°I heard that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went to Long Qi Mountain. Young Master, aren¡¯t you worried?¡±

    Chu Yi walked forward and touched the ice coffin. ¡°What are you worried about? The person is with me. If they want that tomb, they can take it away.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Chu Yi turned around. ¡°You still haven¡¯t found the Feng family¡¯s things?¡±

    The long-robed man shook his head. ¡°Young Master, the Feng family has already been searched everywhere, but we can¡¯t find that thing. Could it have been ced elsewhere by the Feng family?¡±

    ¡°Impossible.¡± Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. ¡°They can¡¯t put such an important thing elsewhere. Continue searching.¡±

    After the robed man left, the room fellpletely silent.

    Chu Yi took out half a jade pendant from his neck. He stroked the jade pendant for a long time and ced it in the groove on the side of the coffin.

    At this moment, a faint light began to appear around the entire coffin. Countless charms began to appear around the coffin.

    However, the power of half a jade pendant could not elerate all the charms. After a while, the light gradually dimmed and all the charms hid in the coffin again.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Chu Yi took down the jade pendant and looked at the person inside quietly through the ice coffin.

    He was brought to this basement by the previous head of the Chu family when he was an adult. ording to his father, this coffin had been kept in the Chu family for nearly a hundred years.

    However, no one knew who was in this ice coffin. They only knew that there was a huge treasure hidden behind him, as long as they could wake him up.

    Chu Yi had never believed in ghosts and gods, but in front of this young man, he overturned his understanding.

    It had been eight years since Chu Yi saw this young man, but the man in the ice coffin seemed to never change. He was still the same as when they first met.

    There was amotion outside. Chu Yi put away his thoughts, put away his things, and left the basement.

    When he walked to the study, Su Yao was standing at the door with tea in her hand.

    ¡°Come in.¡± Chu Yi walked to the desk and sat down.

    Su Yao slowly walked in. Today, she was wearing a bright red dress and thick makeup. However, the peace in her eyes was ipatible with her entire outfit.

    Chu Yi kept staring at her until Su Yao felt a little ufortable. She smiled at Chu Yi like a daisy under the sunlight, looking fresh and moving. ¡°Young Master, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Seeing Su Yao¡¯s smile, Chu Yi¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Wear it ording to your favorite style in the future.¡±

    Su Yao was stunned for a moment. Her heart tightened, then she nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Come here.¡± Chu Yi waved at Su Yao and pulled her into his arms.

    Su Yao moved ufortably, but Chu Yi held her waist. ¡°Don¡¯t move, unless you don¡¯t want to sit here anymore.¡±

    Su Yao looked at Chu Yi in confusion and saw the mes gradually burning in his deep eyes. Su Yao instantly understood what Chu Yi meant.

    Her thin face flushed red. ¡°Young Master, let¡¯s do it here.¡±

    Not only did Chu Yi not let go of her hand, but he also tightened his grip. ¡°Here? What are you doing?¡±

    Su Yao was almost forced to cry by Chu Yi. She lowered her head and wanted to avoid Chu Yi¡¯s gaze.

    Chu Yi¡¯s meaningful gaze darted around Su Yao¡¯s face. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he took the document beside him. ¡°Alright, sit quietly. I¡¯m going to work.¡±

    Only then did Su Yao look up and secretly nce at Chu Yi¡¯s side profile. His coldness made Su Yao feel puzzled.

    She felt that she had never really understood what Chu Yi was like.<i>?He seemed to have many sides. Which side was the real him??</i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    Long Qi Mountain,

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling quickly came out of the tomb and everyone surrounded them. ¡°CEO Jun, can we go in?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no mausoleum opposite. We dug in the wrong direction. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡± Jun Shiling left with Xia Wanyuan.

    Of course, the experts did not believe him and discussed to continue digging.

    At this moment, Lin Jing came over with a contract. ¡°Our Madam has already bought Longqi Mountain. You have to be responsible for digging without permission.¡±

    The curious onlookers:?<i>Sorry to disturb you.?</i>

    Back at the resort, Xia Wanyuan ced the things she had brought out of the coffin on the table.

    Arge pile of cultural relics filled with all sorts of strange patterns stood quietly under the light with the aura of a thousand years ago.

    Xia Wanyuan was familiar with these things, but the patterns on them were something she had never seen before.

    Xia Wanyuan was not sure if these patterns were designed by the craftsmen or carved because of some special meaning.

    ¡°Let¡¯s investigate slowly. We¡¯ll find out eventually.¡± Jun Shiling walked over and gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Since my dynasty really existed, does that mean that the tombs of others might be on Longqi Mountain?¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan got Shen Qian to secretly send people to the surroundings of Linxi City to investigate and see if they could find simr tombs.

    However, she was disappointed. In the huge Linxi City, only Longqi Mountain had a lonely mausoleum. There were no other traces around.

    Since there was no progress, Xia Wanyuan did not n to stay here for long. She left Shen Qian at the resort and returned to Beijing with a pile of cultural relics.

 Chapter 1305 - Totem

    <h4>Chapter 1305: Totem</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    During the time Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling entered the mountain, the topics targeting Xia Wanyuan from the outside world had changed several times.

    First, someone ran out to criticize Xia Wanyuan for acting like a big shot because when Xia Wanyuan checked into Moon Bay, a considerable number of people were sent to protect her.

    ¡°I¡¯m really speechless. When we were working ourselves to death outside and could not book a hotel, Xia Wanyuan wasted so many resources alone. What kind of person is she? Even if she has money, she can¡¯t do this. She¡¯s really been a capitalist for too long. She doesn¡¯t care about the lives of the people anymore.¡±

    With the help of the people behind the scenes, this topic gradually fermented.

    However, before it could ferment, Moon Bay Resort announced a piece of news, making these people speechless.

    @ Moon Bay Resort: ¡°This resort was developed by @ Xiafeng Group and personally designed by the boss @ Xia Wanyuan. Everyone is wee toe and y.¡±

    [ Hahahaha, the person in front, I¡¯m sorry for saying that she¡¯s upying public resources. This entire resort is hers. It¡¯s not a problem for Xia Wanyuan to book the entire resort. ]

    [ Rich and willful¡­ However, when I saw the design of Moon Bay back then, I felt that the style was quite familiar. As expected, it was Xia Wanyuan who did it. This close and natural style does look like hers. ]

    Seeing that this matter could not cause a storm, the person behind it ced his hopes on Wang Hui.

    However, Wang Hui led hisckeys to look for trouble for a few days. Not only did they not find anything wrong with Xia Wanyuan, but even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ability was greatly reflected in this literary conference.

    After a few days of organization, there was finally preliminary data on the output of this literature conference.

    ording to the statistics, nearly 300 topics had been produced at this literature conference. Around these 300 topics, nearly 5,000 outstanding papers had been born. Nearly 2,000 paintings and paintings had appeared at this exchange, and there were countless essays and gossip.

    Among them, Xia Wanyuan produced the most. Just her alone, there were nearly 30 topics and 30 paintings.

    Even the people of Nancheng University had to be convinced by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s talent.

    Theizens went to feel Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works because of their reputation.

    [Sorry to disturb you. The big shot¡¯s resting ce is right in front of you.]

    [ It¡¯s easy for big shots to write a thesis. As for me, I can¡¯t even write a thesis even if my hair is going bald in the library. How did my brain grow? Can you give me some intelligence? ]

    [ That person from Nancheng University, wasn¡¯t he jumping quite happily previously? Why isn¡¯t he jumping anymore? I remember he said that Xia Wanyuan was fishing for fame¡­ I just went to see his thesis. Tsk tsk, to put it bluntly, he¡¯s not even worthy of washing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet. ]

    Nancheng University did not expect that the literature conference would be held to embarrass Xia Wanyuan. This time, it directly benefited Xia Wanyuan and made her reputation spread again.

    However, no matter what, the results of this literature conference were quite fruitful. The professors of Qing University in the past had originally wanted to support Xia Wanyuan. Who would have thought that at that ce, they would really break through many thoughts?

    Many professors who had not had any inspiration for a long time had produced many outstanding works on this trip to Linxi.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re amazing.¡± The principal gave Xia Wanyuan a thumbs up. ¡°You¡¯re our lucky star.¡±

    Thinking that not only had he made Nancheng University suffer this time, but he had also made the professors of Qing University gain so much, Principal Yang almostughed out loud.

    ¡°Principal, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± The principal looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. ¡°Our school has a spot for one of the top ten outstanding professors this year. I¡¯m going to leave one for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to decline when the principal waved his hand. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. You have the right. It¡¯s quite tiring for you to rush around. I¡¯ll give you a few days off and rest well. You don¡¯t have toe to school for sses recently.¡±

    Since the principal had said so, Xia Wanyuan did not stay any longer.

    After leaving Qing University, she did not return to the manor directly. Instead, she brought a pile of cultural relics to the Chinese Cultural Research Institute.

    Xia Wanyuan was now in China and had the face of a national star. Everyone knew her.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuane, the teachers of the research institute were very happy.

    ¡°Hello, I came to ask if you know what these totems mean?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan copied the patterns on the cultural relics at home and drew them all on a blueprint.

    The experts surrounded Xia Wanyuan and looked at her carefully, then shook their heads.

    ¡°No, the patterns on it are strange. We study many races¡¯ cultures, but we¡¯ve never seen such a thing.¡±

    A hint of disappointment shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    The people from the research institute should know the most about the various cultural totems in China. If even they did not know what this was, then the others did not know either.

    At this moment, the director of the research institute standing beside Xia Wanyuan suddenly said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I bring you to ask Old Master Fu? He¡¯s already retired, but he knows a lot, especially about all sorts of unpopr cultures.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    With that, the director brought Xia Wanyuan to the backyard of the research institute. After passing through a long stone road, they finally stopped in front of a courtyard filled with flowers.

 Chapter 1306 - Mysterious Old Sir

    <h4>Chapter 1306: Mysterious Old Sir</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The director walked forward and knocked on the courtyard door. ¡°Mr. Fu, are you at home?¡±

    ¡°Yes,e in.¡± An old and hoarse male voice came from the small courtyard.

    ¡°Come, Professor Xia, this way please.¡± The director opened the door and brought Xia Wanyuan in. ¡°Mr. Fu is already 90 years old and is the oldest person in our research institute. If he doesn¡¯t know about it, there¡¯s really nothing we can do.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at the director.

    The door opened and a white-haired old man sat in the living room. The director bowed to the old man. ¡°Old Sir, this is Professor Xia from Qing University. She has something to ask you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan bowed slightly to the old gentleman to show her respect. When she looked up and met the old gentleman¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan realized that Old Master Fu was actually looking at her with a very strange expression.

    ¡°Director, if you have something on, go ahead. I can do it myself.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll get another researcher to pick you upter.¡± The principal had too many things to do every day. He was more than happy to not sit here with him.

    After the director left, Xia Wanyuan walked up to Old Master Fu. ¡°Old Master, do you know me?¡±

    Although Old Master Fu was old, his eyes were very clear. He stared intently at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face with shock and confusion in a daze. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    ¡°How old?¡±

    ¡°Twenty-three this year.¡±

    ¡°23,¡± Old Master Fu murmured, as if he did not believe it at all. He wiped his eyes with his hand and sized Xia Wanyuan up again. ¡°23¡­¡±

    ¡°Old man, you know my ancestors? Do I look very simr to my ancestors?¡±

    Old Master Fu shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was wrong.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could tell that the old man did not want to say anything, so she did not continue to ask him. Instead, she handed the paper in her hand to Old Master Fu. ¡°Old Master Fu, can you help me take a look at the patterns on it?¡±

    The moment the paper in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand unfolded, the old gentleman¡¯s expression changed slightly. He stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Where did you find these?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a person who respected old schrs very much, but that did not mean that she had topletely follow the other party. ¡°Then can you tell me first if these patterns have any special meaning?¡±

    Old Master Fu¡¯s gazended on those strange patterns. After a while, Old Master turned around. ¡°Leave. I¡¯ve never seen these things.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. She could tell that Old Master Fu must know something, but he was also afraid of something.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that more haste would lead to less speed, so she did not probe further. Instead, she nodded. ¡°Thank you, Old Master. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan put away the painting and turned to leave.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back disappear at the door, Old Master Fu¡¯s gaze gradually darkened.

    He had naturally seen those patterns before, but nearly 70 years had passed since he saw those things.

    He knew that these things would appear again one day, but he did not expect it to be so soon.

    After leaving the research institute, Xia Wanyuan confirmed that Old Master Fu must know something. She called Shen Qian.

    ¡°Help me investigate all of Old Master Fu¡¯s experiences at the Cultural Research Institute. Be very detailed.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan folded the drawing paper and ced it in her bag, then called Jun Shiling.

 Chapter 1307 - The Wei Family Takes It All

    <h4>Chapter 1307: The Wei Family Takes It All</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    After ending the call with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan went straight to the Jun Corporation. Jun Shiling stood downstairs and waited for her. The two of them interlocked their fingers and walked upstairs, making the onlookers envious.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you go to the research institute? Did you find any clues?¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan take off her coat.

    Xia Wanyuan was already more than four months pregnant. If one looked carefully, her stomach was already slightly bulging. Jun Shiling supported her and sat her down.

    ¡°Yes, that Old Master Fu seems to know me, but when I asked him questions, he refused to answer.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Who took the corpse in that tomb?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already sent someone to investigate. I believe there¡¯ll be news soon.¡±

    Just as the two of them were talking, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang.

    The moment the call connected, Wei Jin¡¯s voice came. ¡°Cousin, the Wei family of Jiangnan has already fallen into my hands.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was slightly shocked.

    She naturally knew that with Wei Jin¡¯s ability, it was only a matter of time before she took down the Wei family in Jiangnan, but she did not expect it to be so fast. ¡°So fast?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Jin looked to the side. Mu Feng was sitting not far away reading documents. ¡°Mu Feng helped me.¡±

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s full support, Mu Feng inherited the entire Mu family and used all the strength of the Mu family to help Wei Jin control the Wei family in Jiangnan.

    Wei Zhong and the rest naturally asked Lin Qingyuan for help.

    However, as a traditional family in Beijing, the Mu family¡¯s strength could not be underestimated. Although Lin Qingyuan had said that he would help Wei Zhong, he had not done his best at all. Naturally, he could not defeat Wei Jin and Mu Feng¡¯s joint attack.

    Through a voting by the elders of the Wei family in Jiangnan, in the end, the Wei family in Jiangnan agreed to merge with the Wei family in Beijing.

    After being divided for twenty to thirty years, the Wei family became one again.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Finally, there was some good news. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood rxed a little.

    ¡°Cousin, the n has unanimously agreed to let you be the head of the Wei family.¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. She did not have the energy to care about the Wei family anymore. There was no need to use this fake name. Furthermore, she was not a member of the Wei family to begin with, so she did not have to bear the power of others. ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you to be fully responsible. I believe you can do it well.¡±

    Wei Jin still wanted to persuade Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan was very firm. Even when the old seniors of the Wei family came to persuade her, the oue was the same.

    In the end, the seniors of the Wei family in Jiangnan and Old Madam Wei of the Wei family in Beijing agreed to hand the entire Wei family to Wei Jin.

    The power structure of the entire China had changed greatly again.

    The Mu family and the Wei family of Jiangnan, who had originally leaned towards the Lin family, had now changed to a new head and became the Jun family¡¯s strongest partners.

    Facing such a situation, before Lin Qingyuan could panic, Jiang Kui was the first to panic.

    In the Jiang family, Father Jiang was more and more inclined to trust Jiang Yun. Outside, Jun Shiling was almost covering the sky with one hand.

    ¡°Why is Jun Shiling¡¯s luck so good?!¡± Jiang Kui smashed the bottle on the table against the wall angrily. The wine exploded, leaving arge stain on the carpet.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, why are you so angry? I wonder if I can help you resolve your worries?¡± At this moment, someone pushed open the door and entered.

    Jiang Kui narrowed his eyes and looked for a while before recognizing the person who walked in.

    ¡°CEO Xuan?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, you¡¯re too kind. Just call me little brother. I have a way to make Jun Shiling copse instantly. CEO Jiang, do you want to try?¡±

    Jiang Kui sat on the sofa with a frown and watched Xuan Li approach bit by bit.

    In the past, Jiang Kui would not have bothered with people like Xuan Li. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, bloodline purity was important. An illegitimate child like Xuan Li was not worthy of Jiang Kui¡¯s attention.

    However, the situation waspletely different now.

    To Jiang Kui, as long as they could help him, they were all allies.

    Jiang Kui handed Xuan Li a cigarette. ¡°CEO Xuan, what n do you have?¡±

    Xuan Li lit a cigarette for himself and for Jiang Kui. ¡°Who does Jun Shiling care about the most?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan.¡± Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°Do you think I need you to teach me this?? If I could touch Xia Wanyuan, would I have to listen to you say this here?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, calm down. As long as you¡¯re willing to cooperate with me, I promise I can help you.¡± Xuan Li looked confident.

    Jiang Kui spat out a circle with a dark expression.

    At this moment, in the Jiang family corporation, Father Jiang was handing arge number of work tasks to Jiang Yun.

    ¡°Yun¡¯er, it¡¯s been hard on you. Your brother is disappointing. We still have to rely on you for the domestic market.¡±

    Jiang Yun took the document and flipped through it. ¡°This is Father¡¯s trust in me. I¡¯ll naturally do my best.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Father Jiang nodded in relief. ¡°Go out first. I¡¯ll look at the documents again.¡±

    After Jiang Yun left the room, Father Jiang made a call. ¡°Watch Lin Qingdai. Once Jiang Yun does anything unusual, take Lin Qingdai away immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Kui¡¯er?¡±

    ¡°Young Master has been in contact with the Xuan family recently. It seems like he¡¯s preparing to work with the Xuan family.¡±

    ¡°Mm, protect him well.¡± Father Jiang¡¯s eyes darkened. He hoped that Jiang Kui could grow up quickly in such a gap. It was not in vain that he, his father, had put in so much effort.

    ¡°Old Master, Miss has been pushing too hard for corporate reform recently. Many shareholders have joined forces to deal with Miss behind her back.¡± The other party carefully reported the situation to Father Jiang.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about it.¡± Father Jiang walked to the side and opened the safe. Inside were neatly arranged transfer documents for various assets.

    The name of the sessor on it was clearly ¡°Jiang Kui¡±.

    To Father Jiang, Jiang Yun was capable, but she was still a woman and could not be of much use. Jiang Kui was the real person who could inherit the entire Jiang family.

    Jiang Yun left thepany and looked at the document in her hand. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

    She had been in the business world for so many years. It was impossible for her not to see through Father Jiang¡¯s thoughts.

    If he wanted to use her to help Jiang Kui climb up, he had to see if she was willing to let Jiang Kui climb up thedder.

    Jiang Yun got into the car and called Xia Wanyuan.

    After receiving Jiang Yun¡¯s call, Xia Wanyuan did not look surprised. ¡°Miss Jiang, you finally called me.¡±

    ¡°CEO Xia, are you willing toe out and meet me?¡±

    An hourter, in a hidden venue in the suburbs of Beijing, Jiang Yun and Xia Wanyuan sat in a private room and chatted for a long time.

    When they left the venue again, Xia Wanyuan and Jiang Yun looked at each other and smiled. Then, they each got into their cars and left in different directions.

    After talking to Jiang Yun, Xia Wanyuan went straight to the Beijing Medical Research Institute. A few hours ago, Xia Yu had already returned to China from Continent F with the medicine.

    Now, the doctors of the research institute were testing the medicine Xia Yu had brought back. If the experiment was sessful, it would be applied to Bo Xiao.

 Chapter 1309 - Bo Xiaoâ€™s Surgery

    <h4>Chapter 1309: Bo Xiao¡¯s Surgery</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Xia Wanyuan had just parked her car when her phone rang.

    Seeing the caller, Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button. ¡°An Rao, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    On the other end of the line, An Rao¡¯s voice was very low. ¡°Yuan Yuan, is Bo Xiao okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment. ¡°Mm.¡±

    Then if anything happens, can you tell me first?¡± An Rao said as she took care of Little Qingli.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    After hanging up, An Rao stroked Little Qingli¡¯s head. ¡°Your father wille back safely, right?¡±

    Little Qingli was growing up day by day, but he still could not speak and could only babble. It was unknown if he understood An Rao¡¯s words, but he hugged An Rao¡¯s arm and nodded.

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan entered the medical research institute. Xia Yu weed her. ¡°Sister.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Are you injured?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Yu leaned closer. ¡°Sister, Wei Zimu gave me those medicines, but I haven¡¯t told the higher-ups.¡±

    For some reason, after Xia Yu returned, he covered up the fact that he had seen Wei Zimu. He did not mention a word to anyone else. He only dared to say the truth after seeing Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Wei Zimu?¡± Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. ¡°How did he contact you?¡±

    ¡°Sister, I think Wei Zimu is a little strange. And that Yu Qian.¡± Wei Zimu was already inexplicable, but Yu Qian looked even stranger.

    In Xia Yu¡¯s opinion, Yu Qian had a bottomless darkness. That substantial coldness was something he had never seen in many drug lords.

    ¡°I understand. Let¡¯s go in first,¡± Xia Wanyuan said and walked in.

    In the meeting room, the doctors were sitting around and discussing the results of the test. Jun Shiling was sitting at the front and listening. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, he stood up.

    ¡°How is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked to Jun Shiling and sat down.

    ¡°Xia Yu brought back a new medicine. There were no records of this before.¡± The expert told Xia Wanyuan about the examination. ¡°We tested it and it¡¯s harmless, but no one can guarantee how it will affect Bo Xiao¡¯s body.¡±

    There were too many unknown elements in this world. To the field of medicine, there were too many changes. Bo Xiao¡¯s weight was there, and no one dared to guarantee it.

    If anything happened, they could not bear the responsibility.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be responsible myself.¡± Just as everyone was in a deadlock, Bo Xiao walked in and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Let them operate on me. If anything happens, I¡¯ll bear the responsibility myself.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao with hesitation in his eyes, but Bo Xiao¡¯s attitude was very firm.

    The doctor had already told him that all his organs were slowly shrinking.

    He could clearly feel this change.

    Instead of living aimlessly in the research institute every day, he would rather take a gamble.

    The experts looked at Bo Xiao and then at Jun Shiling. The meeting room was enveloped in a silent atmosphere.

    In the silence, Xia Wanyuan suddenly said, ¡°Let¡¯s do the surgery.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s gazes gathered on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°If you were the one standing there today, I would support your surgery.¡±

    Her thoughts also represented An Rao¡¯s thoughts.

    At this point, instead of watching Bo Xiao muddle through, it was better to take a gamble.

    Jun Shiling finally nodded. ¡°Okay, then prepare for the surgery.¡±

    After he spoke, everyone immediately began to prepare for the surgery.

    At this moment, in the underground interrogation room in Continent F, Wei Zimu was covered in blood. His face was pale and there was an abnormal blush on his face. At this moment, he was running a high fever.

    ¡°Brother, is myboratory so fun??¡± Yu Qian sat in front with a sharp scalpel in his hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t give you permission to steal my things and give them to others.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Wei Zimu was exhausted and half-closed his eyes. He listened to Yu Qian¡¯s words and did not react at all.

    Yu Qian gave a look. Jayce picked up a basin of salt water and sshed it at Wei Zimu.

    The salt water soaked into the wound. Wei Zimu trembled in pain and opened his eyes.

    ¡°Who did you give it to??¡± Yu Qian gently spun the scalpel in his hand. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    Wei Zimu turned his head to the side. ¡°If you know, why are you still asking me??¡±

    Since Yu Qian had realized that the medicine was missing, he must know who he had given it to.

    ¡°Very good.¡± Yu Qian sneered and looked at Jayce. ¡°Throw him into the desert. Without my orders, no one is allowed to let him go.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce nodded respectfully and brought Wei Zimu out.

    Not long after, Jayce returned to the room. ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve already thrown him out.¡±

    ¡°Did Xia Yu take all the medicine away?¡±

    ¡°Yes, they¡¯ve already been brought to Beijing.¡± With that, Jayce handed a stack of documents to Yu Qian. ¡°ording to the reaction of the people in Beijing, the research institute has already tested the medicine Xia Yu brought back. It will be used on Bo Xiao soon.¡±

    Yu Qian held the scalpel in one hand and gently rotated his index finger on the tip of the knife with the other. ¡°Go down and continue to watch Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After Jayce left, Yu Qian stood up, walked to the innermost part of theboratory, and opened the mechanism.

    The metal door slowly opened and Yu Qian walked in.

    A long tunnel led straight to the deepest part of the underground. The deeper he went, the lower the temperature.

    There was a door in the deepest part. Yu Qian ced his hand on it. After the authentication was approved, a white fog surged out, and the scene inside appearedpletely.

    Behind the door were a few rows of ss cabs. There were arge number of test tubes neatly ced in the cabs. The colorful potions revealed a demonic luster in the test tubes.

    In all the test tubes, there was a small metal tube. The metal tube was connected on both sides, and the other side extended into the huge metal box in the middle.

    Yu Qian walked over, picked up a test tube, and shook it. The red color immediately faded and became transparent.

    Yu Qian walked out with this test tube and handed it to Jayce. ¡°Give them this.¡±

    Jayce took it carefully. ¡°Okay, then Bo Xiao.¡±

    ¡°Let me think.¡±

    Just as the two of them were talking, Yu Qian¡¯s phone rang. He looked down at the caller¡¯s name and hesitated for a while before answering.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t we agreest time that you would split an area in the south of Continent F? Why are your hands so long?¡± Chu Yi¡¯s dissatisfied voice came from the other side.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t your people secretly enter the south without informing me?¡± Yu Qian asked.

    In Continent F, the Chu family and Yu Qian¡¯s forces were separated. Now that the bnce between the two sides had been broken, no one was giving in.

    ¡°You mean you¡¯re not going to taking the people back??¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was slightly cold. ¡°Young Master Chu, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re mistaken. My people didn¡¯t go north.¡±

    Chu Yi hung up and found his subordinate. ¡°Since Yu Qian doesn¡¯t respect the alliance, we don¡¯t have to care about them anymore. Arrest anyone who enters our territory.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The entire situation in China had be tense. Now, Continent F had begun to be subtle. America, which was outside the storm, was more calm.

    The once big family, the Feng family, had fallen. Now, in America, the Blue family was the dominant family. However, ever since Mr. Blue passed away, the entire family had be divided and separated.

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity as the sessor, if she did note to America, no one else could touch that position. From the initial resistance of the family, they began to secretly send messages to Xia Wanyuan.

    In the manor, looking at the emails sent by the Blue family, Xia Wanyuan shook her head.

    America was a mess, and the Blue family wanted her to get involved now.

    She did not even have the energy and time to take over the Wei family, let alone the Blue family.

    Xia Wanyuan replied to the other party directly, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±

    ¡°What did she say?¡± In the Blue family, everyone sat around and waited for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s response.

    ¡°She doesn¡¯t want toe over.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine if she¡¯s unwilling toe over. Then she has to make a statement and let the intermediary witness it to show that she¡¯s voluntarily giving up her identity as the sessor of the Blue family.¡± The eldest branch of the Blue family was very unhappy. ¡°If she doesn¡¯te over herself, why is she upying her identity as the sessor?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell her.¡±

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan received another message from the Blue family. She did not reply and ignored this message.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was busy preparing for the international exchange organized by the Chinese officials.

 Chapter 1311 - Save People

    <h4>Chapter 1311: Save People</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The international exchange this time was not like the local associations that Xia Wanyuan had participated in in the past.

    This exchange was organized by the officials. As the official ambassador, Su Yueran was naturally invited.

    ¡°Last chance.¡± Lin Qingyuan¡¯s tone was cold on the phone. ¡°I won¡¯t give you another chance.¡±

    Okay,¡± Su Yueran replied expressionlessly, like a puppet.

    In the past, she knew that Lin Qingyuan was terrifying. However, in the past few days, she had understood the ruthlessness in Lin Qingyuan¡¯s bones even more.

    He did not care about anyone except for whether he had achieved his goal.

    The child in her stomach had been injected with a special medicine by Lin Qingyuan. Lin Qingyuan would give the antidote every month. Once she acted strangely, Lin Qingyuan would stop the antidote.

    Even though Su Yueran did not have much feelings for the child at first, after these few months of being rted to her flesh and blood, the natural mother-son rtionship made her tied down.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to send you the address where you¡¯re going tonight.¡±

    Hearing Lin Qingyuan¡¯s words, Su Yueran suddenly clenched her fists.

    ¡°Do you hear that?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Su Yueran seemed to have forced a faint voice out of her throat.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Xia Wanyuan herself had many connections with the officials and had a good rtionship with the Blue family of America and the royal family of Ennd. After this period of fermentation, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation worldwide had increased considerably.

    Hence, in this international exchange, not only did the officials invite Xia Wanyuan as a guest, but they also invited her as the host.

    The exchange wasplicated, and the leaders were busy.

    The Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asionally mentioned that Xia Wanyuan was very capable in handling matters.

    The leaders tried to ask Xia Wanyuan about it, and they received quite good feedback.

    Now that everyone had found someone to help, arge number of departments treated Xia Wanyuan to a meal every two to three days. Tonight¡¯s dinner was arranged at the Beijing Hotel.

    It was almost evening when Xia Wanyuan arrived at the entrance of the restaurant ten minutes early.

    Just as she got out of the car, she saw a familiar back in front.

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes. Seeing Su Yueran get into the elevator, she slowly walked upstairs.

    After a round of toasts, the older leaders had already called Xia Wanyuan their daughter, and the younger ones had already called her sister.

    ¡°Good daughter, next time, I¡¯ll get my old woman to bring you some bamboo shoots from the mountains. That thing is very delicious!¡±

    ¡°Sister, when are you free? I want to visit your collection of paintings. What you said just now tempted me too much.¡±

    On the one hand, everyone took the initiative to approach Xia Wanyuan for benefits. After reallymunicating with her, they were subconsciously moved by her and treated her as someone they could trust from the bottom of their hearts.

    Xia Wanyuan apanied everyone out. When they passed by a corner, they suddenly saw a figure.

    She found an excuse. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have to take a call.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. You don¡¯t have to send me. See you tomorrow.¡±

    After everyone disappeared into the elevator, Xia Wanyuan walked towards the corner.

    The Beijing Hotel was abination of food and leisure. There were special hotel rooms for guests to rest.

    The door of a room not far away opened halfway, and a woman¡¯s cry for help could be vaguely heard.

    ¡°What are you pretending for?!¡± A strong man¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Since Lin Qingyuan sent you over, be good. Don¡¯t you want the limelight at the exchange? Life¡­¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    The woman seemed to say something. The man raised his hand and pped her. The crisp sound of a p came from the house.

    ¡°Talk. It¡¯s boring if you don¡¯t talk.¡± The man pinched Su Yueran¡¯s chin. ¡°Who is Lin Qingyuan trying to mock by sending a mute over?¡±

    Su Yueran bit the soft flesh in her mouth until it bled. She stubbornly turned her face to the side. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    ¡°How boring.¡± The man let go of Su Yueran¡¯s face and stood up. He took a cake from the side and carefully smeared the cream on Su Yueran¡¯s face and neck.

    Feeling the sticky cream on her face, Su Yuerany on the carpet in despair, her mouth already filled with blood.

    ¡°Why are you crying?¡± The man finished applying all the cream and looked at his masterpiece in satisfaction. ¡°Didn¡¯t you sleep with that CEO Wangst week? Why are you pretending to be a chaste woman here?¡±

    Tears fell from the corners of Su Yueran¡¯s eyes as she closed her eyes in despair.

    The buttons were unbuttoned bit by bit. Su Yueran¡¯s hand gently stroked her stomach.

    Although she had never wanted to admit it, she had to admit that she was starting to regret it.

    If she had not been bewitched by vanity back then and followed Lin Qingyuan,

    Perhaps she would be an ordinary student who had just graduated and was doing a nine-to-five job. Even if the money was not much, at least she would live peacefully and not have to be afraid every day and be given to others as a ything.

    A sparkling tear welled up in the corner of Su Yueran¡¯s eye. The tear streaked across the corner of her eye and cut through the cake.

    The man¡¯s breathing was getting closer and closer. Su Yueran turned her head to the side, preparing to let him be.

    However, the door suddenly opened and the sound of high heels sounded at the door.

    The man and Su Yueran looked over in unison.

    The moment she saw Xia Wanyuan, Su Yueran turned around and covered herself with her hand.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Miss Xia?¡± The man did not panic and slowly got up from Su Yueran. ¡°Miss Xia, it¡¯s not appropriate for you to enter without knocking, right?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned and looked at Su Yueran, who was covering her face. ¡°You.¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, her husband doesn¡¯t care about this matter. You won¡¯t be nosy, right?¡± The man sneered. If word of this got out, it would tarnish Lin Qingyuan¡¯s reputation. He felt that Xia Wanyuan wouldn¡¯t find such trouble for herself.

    Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment before turning to walk out.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, the man sneered. ¡°She does have a good figure. It¡¯s a pity that Jun Shiling isn¡¯t as generous as Lin Qingyuan.¡±

    As the man spoke, he got out of bed and closed the door.

    However, just as the door was about to close, it was suddenly blocked. The man pulled open the door. Xia Wanyuan was standing outside with a cold expression.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°Are you leaving yourself, or should I get someone toe?¡±

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re so generous. As far as I know, your husband and Lin Qingyuan are sworn enemies. Su Yueran has done many things to trip you up.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was unmoved by the man¡¯s words.

    She did not stand up now because she sympathized with Su Yueran.

    She naturally hated Su Yueran and hoped that Su Yueran would receive the punishment she deserved, but it did not mean that she could ignore this situation.

    If she remembered correctly, Su Yueran was already a few months pregnant. She could not stand it anymore.

    Xia Wanyuan took out her phone. ¡°The Beijing newspaper office is five hundred meters away. Why don¡¯t I make a call now? I believe they¡¯ll be very willing to see Director Zhang¡­¡±

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, the man took a shirt from the side and put it on. ¡°You win. Miss Xia, it¡¯s satisfying to save someone. I want to see how long you can be arrogant.¡±

    The man put on his clothes and swaggered out of the room.

    After the man left, Xia Wanyuan turned to leave.

    She could not stand a pregnant woman being treated like this, but that did not mean she liked Su Yueran.

    ¡°Why did you save me? Shouldn¡¯t you be very happy?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just taken a step when Su Yueran¡¯s voice sounded behind her.

    Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks. ¡°My happiness isn¡¯t affected by you.¡±

    Su Yueranughed at herself. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t hate you that much. I¡¯m just jealous of you.¡±

    But now, she did not even have the right to be jealous.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want this child, you don¡¯t have to let him suffer with you. If you still want him, you should think about how to not let him suffer with you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan left after saying this.

    In the room, Su Yueran removed her hand from her face. Her face was already filled with tears.

    Xia Wanyuan specially closed the door when she left. Su Yueran cried bitterly in the hotel room before washing the dirt off her body, putting on her clothes, and leaving.

    When she returned to the manor, Xia Wanyuan inexplicably felt like vomiting when she thought of how Su Yueran had just been smeared with cream.

    Jun Shiling patted her back. ¡°Is your pregnancy reaction starting?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head and reached out to hug Jun Shiling¡¯s arm. ¡°Maybe I¡¯m a little sad because I¡¯m pregnant too.¡±

    Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Then be sad for a while. You¡¯ll be fer.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Smelling the cedar smell on Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was much more relieved. Shey in his arms and fell asleep unknowingly.

    After some time, Jun Shiling¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and took a look, his expression softening a little.

    ording to the news from the research institute, Bo Xiao¡¯s muscle atrophy had been very well alleviated.

    As long as there was no subsequent reaction, the virus in Bo Xiao¡¯s body should be eliminated.

    After reading the message, Jun Shiling was about to turn off his phone when a secret email was sent over.

    The email was an investigation of Old Master Fu from the Cultural Research Institute.

    The investigation revealed that Old Master Fu had once carried out an archaeological excavation around Linxi City when he was young.

    At that time, he had just entered university and had run around the country with his mentors and seniors. Nothing had ever happened.

    Only when they were inspecting Linxi did the expedition team encounter an ident. At that time, there were six of them in a team. Other than Old Master Fu, the rest were buried in the mountains.

    This was a very sensational news at that time, but time gradually buried the deceased in the sand.

    Now that Jun Shiling had sent someone to investigate, it was easy to dig up what had happened back then.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xia Wanyuan had woken up at some point in time and was leaning into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms to look at his phone.

    Seeing the content of the email, the doubts in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes intensified. ¡°Is it really an ident?¡±

    Jun Shiling was not sure either. ¡°I¡¯ll get them to continue investigating.¡±

    Back then, under the scientific and technological conditions, the deaths of these people were naturally determined to be idents, but not necessarily now.

    Su Yueran returned to the vi. Half an hourter, Lin Qingyuan called.

    Now, just hearing Lin Qingyuan¡¯s voice made Su Yueran¡¯s heart tremble.

    ¡°Well done, Su Yueran. You know how to look for external help now, right??¡± Lin Qingyuan yed with the teacup in his hand with a calm expression.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t look for her. She came over herself.¡± Su Yueran lowered her head, her expression dark.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think that Xia Wanyuan can help you this time and will help you in the future.¡± Lin Qingyuan warned Su Yueran coldly. ¡°Stop thinking about nonsense. If I find out that you have other thoughts, don¡¯t even think about the child in your stomach.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Su Yueran replied with a wooden expression.

    Lin Qingyuan hung up the phone and the butler walked forward. ¡°Young Master, Miss Wei is here.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan raised an eyebrow. ¡°Go and take out my precious tea leaves.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The butler sighed in his heart. He was already so old and could not see through Lin Qingyuan¡¯s thoughts.

    Instead of cherishing his good wife, he cared so much about the Wei family¡¯s youngdy.

    In the living room, Wei Jin was sitting at the table, quietly looking at the ancient painting on the wall.

    ¡°This is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s painting. Miss Wei, do you like it?¡± Lin Qingyuan walked over with a smile on his face. ¡°No, I¡¯m wrong. Now that you¡¯re already the head of the Wei family, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate to call you Miss Wei.¡±

    ¡°Master Lin, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Wei Jin¡¯s expression was indifferent as she looked straight at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°I came today to discuss something with you.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan sat on the chair beside Wei Jin. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. I haven¡¯t seen Master Wei in so long. I want to talk to you more. It¡¯s been a long time since west met. I miss you very much.¡±

    Wei Jin frowned. ¡°Master Lin, respect yourself.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. ¡°Didn¡¯t I respect myself too much back then, so I gave you up?¡±

    Looking at Wei Jin¡¯s delicate eyes, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes flickered.

    Back then, if he had just done it, the person who would be Madam Lin today would probably be Wei Jin.

    Wei Jin took out the document from her bag. ¡°Take a look at this. If there¡¯s a problem, you can bring it up.¡±

    Back then, Wei Zhong and Lin Qingyuan had worked together and invested in many Lin family projects. Now that Wei Jin was in charge, she naturally wanted to take back all the projects.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to look.¡± Lin Qingyuan pushed the document back to Wei Jin. ¡°Master Wei, you just wants to withdraw your investment, but I have to remind you that Wei Zhong signed a contract to break the contract back then. If you break the contract now, you have topensate.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡±

    ¡°The price ofpensation is quite high.¡±

    ¡°I know that too.¡±

    ¡°Just because I¡¯m the partner??¡± Lin Qingyuan raised an eyebrow slightly. ¡°Miss Wei, aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll be sad when you say this?¡±

    Wei Jin was unwilling to feign civility with Lin Qingyuan here. ¡°Think whatever you want. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    With that, Wei Jin stood up.

    Lin Qingyuan did not stop her. He looked at Wei Jin¡¯s back quietly and maintained his position for a long time.

    The butler could not understand Lin Qingyuan¡¯s thoughts and carefully stepped forward. ¡°Young Master, the tea is cold.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan retracted his gaze andughed at himself. ¡°Does she think I¡¯m teasing her?¡±

    The gaze in Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes was tooplicated. The butler was a little shocked and did not dare to reply.

    Lin Qingyuan lowered his head. ¡°Alright, you can leave.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    In Beijing Hospital, the experts surrounded Bo Xiao and were doing thest checkup.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± Jun Shiling stood at the side.

    ¡°His recovery is very good.¡± After the experts checked the situation, they reported respectfully to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After the experts finished checking and left, Bo Xiao stood up and extended a hand to Jun Shiling. ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Bo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±

    After so long, Bo Xiao could finally walk out of the hospital again and breathe in the fresh air outside. Bo Xiao felt relieved. He looked up and saw An Rao standing not far away.

    An Rao hugged the child and looked at Bo Xiao quietly, her eyes red.

    Bo Xiao strode over and hugged An Rao. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Little Qingli was squeezed by Bo Xiao and cried out. Bo Xiao let go a little and saw that An Rao was already crying.

    Bo Xiao smiled and wiped the tears off An Rao¡¯s face. ¡°Why are you crying?? How did you know I was here?¡±

    An Rao gently punched Bo Xiao. ¡°Liar.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao held An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯m a liar. Can you scold me when we get home?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears, but she was smiling.

    The two of them held hands and walked back.

    It was only at this moment that Bo Xiao dared to tell An Rao everything.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in the desert of Continent F, the sun was shining brightly, and the ground was roasted until it seemed to be on fire.

    The temperature was too high, and the vulture slowly flew past the edge of the desert. In the middle of the endless desert, a ck dot was slowly squirming.

    Hot, thirsty,

    At this moment, Wei Zimu only wanted to drink water.

    Behind him was a patch of bloody sand. As he crawled, the sand kept burrowing into the wound, adding a fewyers of fine, sharp pain to the already deep wound.

    Wei Zimu looked up and could only see endless sand. The sun had already be a halo that was dazzling.

    Wei Zimu pursed his lips, which were already dry and bleeding. He stuck out his tongue to sweep it. The tip of his tongue was already bitter and he could not taste anything, but he could feel the moisture of the water.

    It was getting closer and closer to noon. At this moment, the surface temperature was almost 80 degrees. His skin, which had already been beaten into a bloody mess, was burning at all times.

    The circle of sunlight in front of him becamerger andrger. Wei Zimu could clearly feel the traces of life flowing away.

    As the sun burned brighter and brighter, Wei Zimu gradually closed his eyes.

    Just as he was about to die, a few drops of water suddenly dripped down his face.

    Wei Zimu opened his eyes with difficulty. Yu Qian was already standing in front of him with a bottle of water in his hand.

    Wei Zimu did not move andy on the spot. Even though the water he yearned for the most was by his mouth, Wei Zimu did not stick out his tongue to catch it.

    ¡°Brother, aren¡¯t you afraid of death?¡± Seeing Wei Zimu¡¯s indifferent expression, Yu Qian raised an eyebrow.

    ¡°You won¡¯t let me die.¡± Wei Zimu was very certain.

    If he died one day, he would only die in Yu Qian¡¯s hands and not die outside like this.

    Yu Qian smiled. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qian gestured for his subordinate to pour water into Wei Zimu¡¯s mouth and got someone to treat Wei Zimu¡¯s wound.

    Wei Zimu half-closed his eyes and allowed them to torture him. Yu Qian squatted down and pinched Wei Zimu¡¯s chin.

    ¡°Your life is mine. I¡¯m not dead, so don¡¯t even think about dying.¡±

    Wei Zimu tilted his head to the side. ¡°I want to go back.¡±

    Yu Qian sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t think you can push your luck like this.¡±

    He summoned his subordinates and got them to take Wei Zimu away.

    ¡°Boss, is Wei Zimu locked up in prison or?¡± Jayce asked carefully. After all, no one could understand Yu Qian¡¯s attitude towards Wei Zimu.

    ¡°Bring him back to the base and restore his authority.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Jayce left with Wei Zimu. Yu Qian stood rooted to the ground. Not long after, a helicopter flew over from afar.

    ¡°Hello.¡± A few men in ck got out of the helicopter. ¡°Our boss invites you over.¡±

    Yu Qian followed them into the helicopter. The helicopter headed towards the sea where a huge cruise ship was waiting for them.

    Half an hourter, the helicopternded on the cruise ship.

    ¡°CEO Yu, our boss is waiting for you.¡± A group of armed bodyguards stood on the deck. The man in the lead was wearing a hat and walked forward in awe.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Yu Qian walked into the cabin and a tall man with a beard walked over. ¡°CEO Yu.¡±

    Yu Qian nced at Sea Shark and then at Chu Yi, who was sitting not far away. ¡°Young Master Chu, if you want to see me, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?¡±

    Chu Yi sat on the chair and did not move. ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that if I invite CEO Yu, CEO Yu won¡¯t give me face.¡±

    Yu Qian looked at Chu Yi, and Chu Yi stared back. The two of them were in a deadlock until Sea Sharkughed and broke the ice between them.

    ¡°We¡¯re all friends. We¡¯re all friends. We came here today to earn money.¡± Sea Shark brought Yu Qian to sit at the table. ¡°I believe you all know the current situation. From the looks of it, the Jiang family doesn¡¯t have any resistance to the Jun family.¡±

    They all looked like top families in China, but only when they fought would they know where the real strength was.

    ¡°You must have a countermeasure for gathering us together today?¡± Yu Qian frowned and looked at Sea Shark.

    ¡°What ability can I have?¡± Sea Sharkughed. ¡°I have to rely on you, CEO Yu.¡±

    ¡°Go on.¡±

    ¡°I heard that you have many medicines, CEO Yu?¡± Sea Shark¡¯s eyes lit up and he narrowed them, looking very ruthless.

    When Sea Shark suddenly mentioned this, Yu Qian¡¯s expression turned slightly cold. ¡°Then??¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll cooperate with you. Some of the officials are our people. As long as this medicine spreads, won¡¯t we have the final say in the subsequent treatment fees?¡± Sea Shark had made a fortune in the maritime transportation business, but he had lost money every year in the past few years. He could only have crooked ideas to fill this shortfall.

    ¡°Let me think,¡± Yu Qian said and stood up. ¡°This deal can be done, but as long as the Chu family doesn¡¯t leave my ce, I won¡¯t agree to this.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian left.

    Watching him leave, Sea Shark smiled at him. ¡°Young Master Chu, his temper is like this. Don¡¯t lower yourself to his level.¡±

    Chu Yi did not speak. Instead, he looked in the direction Yu Qian had left and was deep in thought.

    In Beijing, other than being able to resolve the problem in Bo Xiao¡¯s body, there were also a few unknown medicines that had been tested by experts and were quite useful in treating certain terminal illnesses.

    The experts were full of praise for Xia Yu. The various leaders also came to ask Xia Yu who had he taken this medicine from.

    Xia Yu kept quiet.

    If Xia Yu did not cooperate, the others had no choice but to report the situation to Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan had already told Jun Shiling the exact situation. Jun Shiling had informed the research institute, and this matter was suppressed.

    Looking at Xia Yu, who was sitting not far away, Xia Wanyuan shook her head helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s time. You should go to the hospital.¡±

    Xia Yu remained motionless for the entire morning. Now, he finally turned around. ¡°Sister.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan saw through Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts. ¡°That¡¯s your own choice.¡±

    After so many things, although Xia Yu was much more mature than before, he still had a child¡¯s temper.

    Back then, he married Lin Yi because he was touched.

    If it were any other man, if a woman who liked him took a bullet for him, they would basically choose to marry her to satisfy her wish on the verge of death.

    However, being touched was not love. Xia Yu treated Lin Yi very well, almost meticulously.

    However, he could not respond to Lin Yi¡¯s feelings. It was not that he wanted to escape, but he did not know how to face Lin Yi.

    Xia Yu sat beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, am I doing the right thing?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all your own choice. No matter what happens, you can only bear it yourself.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not interfere in other people¡¯s matters, so she could only give an opinion from the side.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu sighed softly in his heart before picking up his things and walking out.

    When they arrived at Beijing Hospital, Lin Yi was sitting on the bed and looking at the scenery outside the window.

    She had recovered very well and was in a good state. Her face was rosy and she was full of energy.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Seeing that it was Xia Yu, Lin Yi turned around and smiled at him, still as bright as before.

    ¡°Eat something first.¡± Xia Yu opened the lunch box and handed it to Lin Yi. ¡°My sister¡¯s chef made it. It¡¯s quite delicious. Try it.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Yi kept giving him a thumbs up as she tasted it. ¡°It¡¯s really delicious.¡±

    ¡°Mm, then eat more.¡± Xia Yu sat on the sofa at the side, took it, and slowly flipped through it.

    As Lin Yi ate, his gazended on Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu¡¯s current appearance should be the type that no young girl could resist.

    His facial features were handsome but heroic, and he had a rare youthful aura.

    Unfortunately,

    A hint of disappointment shed across Lin Yi¡¯s eyes.

    It was not that she did not understand Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts, but she still had a glimmer of hope.

    From the looks of it, there was no need to rely on love over time.

    She liked Xia Yu, but she had not lost her moral character. If her liking was a burden to Xia Yu now, there was no need.

    Sensing Lin Yi¡¯s gaze, Xia Yu looked up and saw Lin Yi smiling at him. It was clean and warm, like a sunflower facing the sunlight in the morning.

    Xia Yu¡¯s eyes flickered. He wanted to say something, but Lin Yi had already turned around. The ward fell silent.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Recently, the entire Beijing had been quite lively. The international exchange was held by the officials, so it was abnormally grand.

    This was a good opportunity to contact all the countries. On the surface, everyone worked peacefully and waited for the exchange.

    In fact, there were undercurrents and all the forces were fighting because of this meeting.

 Chapter 1316 - Storm Rushing

    <h4>Chapter 1316: Storm Rushing</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    If it was just a simple meeting, there was no capital to make so many people fight.

    The main point was that all the major forces would be gathered in Beijing for this meeting.

    100 years ago, the main forces of the world underwent a violent change. The original bnce was broken, andter on, all the families built barriers and developed independently for so many years.

    They did not know each other¡¯s true strength, nor did they have a chance to sit down and talk seriously.

    This exchange organized by China could gather the major families from all over the world.

    One reason was that China¡¯s strength had rapidly increased overseas in the past few years. Anyrge familypany had its tentacles extended to the world. Under such circumstances, everyone naturally wanted to probe China.

    The other reason was Xia Wanyuan.

    A year ago, no one would have thought that such a small celebrity from China would have the power to affect the world situation.

    Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan had be the designated sessor of the Blue family. The entire Continent M had been turned upside down because of her.

    Xia Wanyuan went to Ennd. A simple banquet had helped Prince Charlie resolve the most difficult opponent. Now, in Ennd, Prince Charlie¡¯s prestige had soared. Almost everyone predicted that there was no doubt that he would be the next king.

    Although the rich and powerful could reach the sky, everyone had to consider the public opinion. As an actress who had made a name for herself in the world, Xia Wanyuan innately had the advantage of public opinion.

    Her words sometimes had more publicity energy than investing hundreds of millions.

    With Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling joining forces, it was difficult for the other families not to worry. Taking advantage of this opportunity, all the forces in the world began to gather.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was looking at the activity n sent by Shen Qian.

    The cultural event held at the foot of Longqi Mountain not long ago attracted tourists from all over the world.

    However, at that time, only the hotel portion was opened in the entire resort.

    Now that the mission Xia Wanyuan had given them had basically beenpleted, Shen Qian led everyone to start nning the opening.

    ¡°CEO Xia, we¡¯ve basically prepared everything we need to do for the opening. When do you want to do it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought carefully. ¡°When is the rainy season in Linxi?¡±

    This time, Shen Qian could not guess Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to investigate.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Soon, his subordinate found someone to ask for the weather situation in Linxi City in the past three months.

    The geographical conditions in Linxi were rtively special, and the weather changed extremely regrly.

    In half a month, the entire Linxi City would enter the two-month rainy season.

    ¡°Then open a week before the rainy season.¡± Xia Wanyuan finally made a decision.

    Although Shen Qian was fully in charge of the construction of the Moon Bay project, he mainly handled the overall business and did not ask much about the specific engineering design. Those were personally captured by Xia Wanyuan.

    Hence, now, Shen Qian did not understand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s intentions about the opening day.

    Under normal circumstances, the earlier it opened, the better. After all, to the resort, the rainy season was the off season. If they opened early while the weather was good, they could earn as much as they could.

    However, as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s subordinate, Shen Qian did not ask further questions. Instead, he replied respectfully, ¡°Okay.¡±

    The matter was quickly implemented. The official opening of Moon Bay was set to be seven dayster.

 Chapter 1317 - Transaction

    <h4>Chapter 1317: Transaction</h4>

    After setting the opening time, Shen Qian confirmed the other matters of the opening ceremony with her. ¡°CEO Xia, will you attend the opening ceremony ?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± This Moon Bay project could be said to have gathered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s many efforts.

    Shen Qian was in charge of overall management. Xia Wanyuan was personally in charge of the design details of the Moon Bay project. She naturally had to attend the opening ceremony.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Qian sent a guest list to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone. ¡°Do you need to add other guests?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan scanned the name list. ¡°Add Lin Qingyuan, Su Yueran, Jiang Kui and Zou Man.¡±

    !!

    ¡°... Okay.¡± Shen Qian really could not help but say, ¡°They...¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had her own intentions. ¡°It¡¯s okay, add it.¡±

    The opening ceremony was the most taboo thing. If they did not invite Lin Qingyuan and the rest, it was unknown if an ident would happen.

    However, if they were present, the possibility of such an ident would be greatly reduced.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Shen Qian got someone to send Lin Qingyuan and the rest an invitation.

    After receiving the invitation, Lin Qingyuan looked at it for a while, then put it aside and smiled coldly.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is as scheming as Jun Shiling.¡±

    The butler carefully stepped forward to pour tea for Lin Qingyuan. Lin Qingyuan looked up at him. ¡°How¡¯s Wei Jin¡¯s movements?¡±

    The expert¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Miss Wei Jin has been reorganizing the Wei family recently. Now, the entire Wei family is basically under her and Mu...¡±

    The butler was about to say Mu Feng when he seemed to have reacted. ¡°It¡¯s basically all under Miss Wei Jin¡¯s control.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. ¡°You can leave first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the butler left, Lin Qingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at his left wrist. There was a small crescent-shaped mark that no one would notice if they did not look closely.

    Lin Qingyuan looked at the mark for a long time with a dark expression.

    Just as he was deep in thought, amotion suddenly came from outside the door. Lin Qingyuan looked up and frowned.

    The servant walked forward. ¡°Master, Wei Zhong is moring to see you outside.¡±

    ¡°Let him in.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Soon, Wei Zhong barged in angrily. When he saw Lin Qingyuan drinking tea leisurely, the anger in Wei Zhong¡¯s eyes intensified. ¡°Master Lin, you¡¯re such a good ally!!¡±

    Lin Qingyuan looked up and nced at Wei Zhong. ¡°Mr. Wei, why are you so angry? Your daughter is already in charge of the Wei family. What¡¯s there to be angry about?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s words made Wei Zhong even angrier.

    Over the past few days, many people who did not understand the situation hade to congratte him. They said that he had raised a good daughter.

    <i>She was indeed a good daughter, a good daughter who had snatched all her power from me!!! </i>

    ¡°Master Lin, are you really not going to help me?¡± Wei Zhong walked to Lin Qingyuan and stared into his eyes.

    Lin Qingyuan calmly ignored Wei Zhong¡¯s gaze. ¡°Forgive me for being powerless.¡±

    Wei Zhong was not surprised by Lin Qingyuan¡¯s answer at all. He sneered and the anger on his face gradually dissipated.

    Wei Zhong sat on a chair at the side. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this first. I¡¯ve always had a question for Master Lin. Five years ago, you were still an ordinary employee. I wonder how you obtained such a strong capital overnight?? Can you teach me? I want to turn things around overnight too.¡±

    Hearing Wei Zhong¡¯s words, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup paused slightly. The tea rippled in the cup. He looked up at Wei Zhong. ¡°Mr. Wei, what do you mean?¡±

    Wei Zhong sneered. ¡°I believe no one knows what I mean better than you, Mr. Lin. Although my Wei family¡¯s strength can¡¯tpare to your Lin family, in terms of intelligence, Master Lin, you don¡¯t have to underestimate us.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°So what??¡±

    He put down the teacup and an unfathomable smile appeared on his face. ¡°So what if you know?¡±

    Not to mention that Wei Zhong was no longer a member of the Wei family, even if he was, Lin Qingyuan had countless ways to make him shut his mouth.

    Wei Zhong sneered. ¡°Master Lin, you might not understand what I mean, right?? I just said that our Wei family¡¯s information is quite powerful.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan smiled mockingly. However, he suddenly froze and stared into Wei Zhong¡¯s eyes. ¡°What did you say?! What do you mean?¡±

    Seeing that Lin Qingyuan finally had a reaction, Wei Zhong was not anxious at all. He leaned back in his chair leisurely. ¡°What if I say that I know where the thing you¡¯ve been looking for is hidden?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan was shocked, but his expression did not change. ¡°Why should I believe you?¡±

    ¡°Longqi Mountain.¡± Wei Zhong only said these three words, and Lin Qingyuan¡¯s expression instantly changed. He frowned. ¡°What else do you know??¡±

    Wei Zhong snorted softly. ¡°That depends on your sincerity, Master Lin.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I promise you. What do you need??¡±

    ¡°Send me abroad and prepare a billion yuan for me and transfer it to my foreign ount.¡±

    Back then, Wei Zhong had done many illegal things. When he was still the head of the Wei family, he could still use his power to suppress these.

    However, now that he had fallen, countless people were staring at him, wishing they could eat him alive. It was impossible for him to stay in the country anymore.

    ¡°Okay, what about what you know? Where is the thing I¡¯m looking for?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you when I reach abroad.¡± Seeing that Lin Qingyuan did not trust him, Wei Zhong smiled. ¡°After I go abroad, I¡¯ll tell you what you want to know. Transfer the money to my ount. This is not a loss, right?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingyuan agreed.

    ¡°In the next few days, I¡¯ll have to trouble you more, Master Lin.¡± Wei Zhong smiled smugly at Lin Qingyuan. ¡°Please arrange a ce for me to stay.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan summoned the butler and asked him to arrange everything.

    By the time Wei Zhong left, Lin Qingyuan¡¯s thoughts were already on what he had just said.

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes surged with madness. <i>If what Wei Zhong said was true, did that mean that I could really find that thing? </i>

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, the security at the Beijing airport had been extremely tight these few days. All sorts of people who rarely appeared kept appearing in the airport.

    The variousrge families had sent the most representative people over. The manor had been filled with visitors for the past few days, and there were frequent people who wanted toe and test the waters first.

    However, Jun Shiling had said that the manor was closed. No matter who came, they could only be rejected.

    Ryan rushed over from America and stood in front of the manor door, wanting to cry.

    Without seeing his goddess, he felt that he was simply the most miserable person in the world.

    Seeing Ryan¡¯s ugly expression, Li Na thought that Ryan was angry because of this slow treatment. She obedientlyforted Ryan. ¡°Cousin, Xia Wanyuan is now the wife of the richest man in the world, and she¡¯s the designated sessor of the Blue family. Naturally, she has to be more particr and can¡¯t meet people casually.¡±

    Ryan silently rolled his eyes in his heart and sneered. ¡°Ha.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Seeing that Ryan¡¯s expression had worsened, Li Na was secretly delighted. ¡°Cousin, that Xia Wanyuan¡­¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, the manor door opened.

    Uncle Wang walked out and nodded kindly at Ryan. ¡°Hello, are you Mr. Ryan?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Ryan nodded.

    ¡°Pleasee in with us.¡± Uncle Wang bowed slightly and weed Ryan in.

    Li Na followed Ryan and wanted to enter, but Uncle Wang stopped her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Our CEO Jun instructed us not to let you in.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Li Na¡¯s face flushed red. It was fine if Xia Wanyuan did not let her in, but now that Uncle Wang said that Jun Shiling did not let her in, she was very embarrassed.

    Uncle Wang only looked kind, but it was not that simple to be the butler of the Jun family. He did not waste any time on Li Na and brought Ryan straight in.

    It was his first time at the goddess¡¯s house. Ryan was abnormally excited, and his blue eyes were filled with curiosity.

    When he entered the living room and saw Xia Wanyuan, Ryan quickly walked over and wanted to hug her.

    However, before he could approach Xia Wanyuan, he sensed a cold gaze on him.

    Ryan nced to the side and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze. Ryan immediately touched his head awkwardly. ¡°Um, I forgot. You Chinese are not interested in greetings.¡±

    With that, Ryan quietly sat on the sofa and secretly sized Xia Wanyuan up.

    <i>Oh! The goddess is so beautiful!!?</i>

    Ryan¡¯s gaze was not malicious, so Xia Wanyuan followed him.

    Jun Shiling stood up and blocked Ryan¡¯s overly passionate gaze. ¡°Mr. Ryan, I asked you toe today because I have something to discuss with you.¡±

    In front of Jun Shiling, Ryan finally became serious. ¡°CEO Jun, what requests do you have?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t make the request.¡± Jun Shiling nced to the side and gestured for Xia Wanyuan to go upstairs first.

    ¡°Jealous,¡± Xia Wanyuanined softly, then stood up and went upstairs.

    After Xia Wanyuan disappeared from the living room, Ryan¡¯s expression became calm.

    As the second young master of the Blue family, Ryan had grown up among the rich and powerful. He looked kind and easy to get along with, but it was precisely such a person who was even more bottomless.

    ¡°CEO Jun asked me toe over for the Blue family.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Mr. Ryan, you¡¯re indeed smart.¡±

    ¡°Let me guess.¡± Ryan looked straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°You want me to help you snatch the Blue family into your hands. Although I admire Xia Wanyuan very much, it¡¯s too naive to ask me to give up on the Blue family because of this.¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Jun Shiling finally said.

    ¡°No?¡± Now it was Ryan¡¯s turn to be puzzled. ¡°Then what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I mean, we want to help you get the power of the Blue family.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± Ryan narrowed his eyes. ¡°What good will this do you? Xia Wanyuan is the designated legitimate sessor. Why don¡¯t you help her directly?¡±

    ¡°Because if there¡¯s no benefit, it¡¯s the greatest benefit,¡± Jun Shiling said simply, but Ryan understood.

    The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. No matter how strong the Blue family was, they were far away on the other side of the ocean.

    Even if Xia Wanyuan became the head of the family, she might not be able to control thisrge family. Her hand might even be scalded.

    It was rtively most suitable to hand the Blue family over to a neutral person.

    Ryan raised an eyebrow. ¡°Should I be honored that I was chosen as the person you like??¡±

    ¡°Mr. Ryan, you can consider it.¡± Jun Shiling looked straight into Ryan¡¯s eyes with a determination that made one want to trust him from the bottom of their hearts.

    Ryan hesitated for a moment. ¡°Okay.¡±

    At the same time, at the entrance of the Lin family¡¯s vi on the other side of the city, a woman with exquisite makeup was standing.

    ¡°Miss, this way please.¡± After obtaining Su Yueran¡¯s permission, the servants brought Li Na into the vi.

    After passing through many corridors, Li Na finally saw Su Yueran.

    She handed a box to Su Yueran. ¡°Mrs. Lin, I heard that you¡¯re pregnant. This is the hundred-year-old ginseng I brought from America. You can nourish your body.¡±

    Su Yueran replied disinterestedly, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡±

    Li Na leaned forward. ¡°Mrs. Lin, I won¡¯t beat around the bush with you. Before we came this time, we contacted Master Lin. He told me to look for you if I had anything in Beijing.¡±

    ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Madam Lin hate Xia Wanyuan very much?¡±

    Su Yueran finally looked up at Li Na. She saw the emotions that had once appeared in her eyes in Li Na¡¯s eyes. That jealous expression seemed to be her reappearance.

    Su Yueran shook her head slightly and did not respond to Li Na. She listened to her quietly and asionally replied.

    Li Na¡¯s mouth was dry, but Su Yueran did not say anything specific. After Li Na finished speaking, Su Yueran said calmly, ¡°Pregnant women are more sleepy. Is there anything else?¡±

    This was an order to chase her out.

    After being rejected twice in a day, Li Na was depressed.<i>?I don¡¯t understand. Aren¡¯t Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan sworn enemies?</i>

    Just as she was walking aimlessly outside Su Yueran¡¯s vi, a car stopped beside her. ¡°Miss Li Na, our young master invites you.¡±

    ¡°Who is your young master?¡±

    ¡°Someone who can help you fulfill your wish.¡±

    Li Na hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

    That night, when the entire Inte was looking forward to the uing exchange, a huge piece of news suddenly broke out.

    Li Na, a rich socialite from the Blue family in America, had disappeared.

 Chapter 1319 - The Living in the Ancient Tomb

    <h4>Chapter 1319: The Living in the Ancient Tomb</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Li Na was not unfamiliar with the Chinese and had a certain reputation for the world.

    After all, she was the daughter of the Blue family and Master Danny¡¯s disciple. The factions behind her wereplicated.

    Li Na¡¯s disappearance caused a hugemotion both domestically and abroad.

    In such a critical period, the disappearance of an important figure of arge family was a fatal blow to China¡¯s image. Other than China, a portion of people looked at Xia Wanyuan suspiciously.

    [ Let mee up with a conspiracy theory. If I remember correctly, there¡¯s a conflict between Xia Wanyuan and Li Na, right? Why did something happen to her the moment she arrived in China?? Isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan behind this? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan won¡¯t be stupid enough to do anything to him in her territory, right? ]

    [I¡¯ll quietly watch the big shots fight. I¡¯ll watch silently.]

    The moment the news of Li Na¡¯s ident spread to America, Zhang Man panicked. The Blue family sent arge number of people to search, but there was no news in the end.

    When they found out that Li Na had disappeared not long after leaving the Jun family, they pointed their spears at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling and demanded that China hand her over.

    It was not Xia Wanyuan who did it. Xia Wanyuan herself retaliated rather forcefully. For a moment, the two sides were in a deadlock.

    At the same time, in an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Beijing, Li Na finally slowly woke up.

    The moment she woke up, she sensed that something was wrong. Her mouth was sealed with tape and her entire body was tied with a rope. She could not break free at all.

    The factory was terrifyingly quiet. Li Na whimpered twice, and her cries echoed in the factory. It was very terrifying.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s message and frowned.

    She could not think of who had kidnapped Li Na. She eliminated the candidates one by one in her mind, but in the end, she did not choose one.

    Just as she was deep in thought, Jun Shiling sent her another document.

    It was an investigation of Old Master Fu.

    No matter how tight-lipped Old Master Fu was, as long as he was human and had a loved one, he must have a weakness.

    Lin Jing brought people and did a lot of work. In the end, Old Master Fu spoke.

    When he participated in the archaeological project back then, he was only 18 years old. At that time, his mentor told his student excitedly that he was about to discover a new dynasty. This was a huge temptation for any archeologist.

    Hence, the mentor brought Old Master Fu and a few other trusted aides into Longqi Mountain ording to the established route.

    Old Master Fu recalled everything he had seen back then and used two words to describe it.

    ¡°Magnificently beautiful.¡±

    He told Lin Jing that when they entered the ancient tomb back then, they were immediately attracted by therge number of treasures.

    Seeing those cultural relics engraved with special words, the mentor was extremely excited. This proved that his guess was right. There was really a lost dynasty.

    Everyone studied everywhere excitedly. With this research, they discovered the huge coffin in the middle of the ancient tomb.

    The mentor brought the others forward. Old Master Fu was studying the Coiling Dragon Cup at the side and did not have time to follow.

    He did not know what had happened. He only knew that the mentor had opened the coffin. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they shouted, ¡°Alive!¡±

    Then, everyone seemed to have their throats grabbed and could not make a sound.

    Old Master Fu found it strange and was about to go forward and ask what had happened when he watched his teacher and good friends fall to the ground.

    <h4>Chapter 1320: The Truth a Hundred Years Ago</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Old Master Fu did not say anything else, but Lin Jing could feel that Old Master Fu¡¯s memories of back then were deeply traumatized. Seeing his teachers and ssmates die in front of him was a huge blow to the 18-year-old Old Master Fu.

    Later on, Old Master Fu had also gone to Longqi Mountain to investigate the truth, but for all sorts of inexplicable reasons, he could not find any clues in the end.

    ¡°Madam, Old Master Fu finally instructed me not to disturb him in the future.¡±

    ¡°Mm, I understand.¡± After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly when she thought of Old Master Fu¡¯s ¡°alive¡±.<i>?A thousand-year-old ancient tomb. What was alive? Was it human or something else?</i>

    In the small courtyard of the Fu family, Old Master Fu quietly looked at the flowers and nts in front of him. His weathered face was filled with the sadness of memories.

    He thought of his mentor¡¯sst wish many years ago.

    Actually, his mentor had long known that there was a huge risk in heading to Longqi Mountain, but he had no choice.

    A new historical dynasty had a fatal attraction for an archaeological digger.

    What Old Master Fu felt sad about now was that he had used his entire life but could not find the truth behind the ancient tomb. He did not know how to face his teacher, who had long passed away.

    Since he had already obtained the information he wanted from Old Master Fu, Lin Jing bade farewell to Old Master Fu and prepared to leave.

    However, just as he left the research institute, a new message entered.

    ¡°Special Assistant Lin, we found out that recently, two other groups of people have only investigated Longqi Mountain.¡±

    ¡°Source.¡±

    ¡°The Lin family and the Chu family.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Lin Jing quickly reported the information to Jun Shiling.

    At the same time, most of the secret guards lying in ambush around Longqi Mountain surged forward and captured everyone when those who were secretly gathering information appeared.

    The secret guards searched these people and finally found arge number of cultural relics. Some could be seen that they had just been unearthed.

    The secret guards cuffed these people and prepared to send them to the relevant institutions to deal with them. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise,

    In the blink of an eye, these peoplemitted suicide by consuming poison.

    When the news spread to Beijing, Jun Shiling was even more puzzled.?<i>What are the Chu family and the Lin family hiding?</i>

    Thinking of the battle between the Chu family and the Feng family a hundred years ago, Jun Shiling stood up and went straight to the courtyard.

    In the courtyard, Old Master was sunbathing leisurely. Seeing Jun Shiling walk over, Old Master leaned over and looked behind Jun Shiling.

    Old Master was clearly disappointed that he did not see Xiao Bao. ¡°Why are you here? Where¡¯s Xiao Bao?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s in school.¡± Jun Shiling walked over with a serious expression. ¡°Grandpa, I came over because I have something to ask you.¡±

    Old Master nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression and picked up his teacup to take a sip. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Your expression is so ugly. Did something go wrong at work?¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, do you know why the Feng family and the Chu family collectively moved abroad back then?¡±

    The moment Jun Shiling said this, Old Master¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup clearly paused for a moment, but he almost instantly returned to normal. ¡°A hundred years ago, I wasn¡¯t even born at that time. How would I know?¡±

    No matter how well Old Master Jun disguised himself, he could not escape Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m asking you very seriously. This matter is very important.¡±

    Old Master Jun nced at Jun Shiling. Sensing the seriousness in his eyes, Old Master Jun was puzzled. ¡°What happened?¡±

    Over the years, Jun Shiling had been able to hold his own and rarely had a situation that made him worry. This was the first time Jun Shiling had asked him such a serious question.

    ¡°Did the Feng family and the Chu family really move out of the country because of family conflicts?¡±

    Old Master Jun put down his teacup and was silent for a while. In the end, he said, ¡°No, there are some things I don¡¯t know much about.¡±

    The breeze gently blew across the courtyard, shaking the leaves of the tree.

    Old Master Jun pointed at the seat in front of him. ¡°Sit down and I¡¯ll tell you slowly.¡±

    A hundred years ago, the south was dominated by the Feng family and the Chu family. The two sides fought to obtain the greatest benefits.

    Such arge family that had been passed down for hundreds of years basically had secrets that were not worth telling outsiders.

    The Feng family and the Chu family¡¯s ancestors were originally one, butter on, they were divided into two families.

    In their family history, there was the same ancient prophecy.

    Obtaining Emperor Yuan meant obtaining the world.

    Legend had it that as long as one could find the tomb of the Emperor Yuan, they could obtain endless treasures and abilities that surpassed time and space.

    This was only a legend. Initially, the two families did not take this matter to heart.

    Until a hundred years ago, a worker identally dug out something during a construction on Longqi Mountain.

 Chapter 1321 - Truth

    <h4>Chapter 1321: Truth</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    A hundred years ago, when the workers were working, they dug out an ancient cultural relic.

    Linxi was a recorded ancient city in history. Back then, when the cultural relics were dug out, the officials specially sent a specialized archaeological team to help identify the cultural relics.

    The inspection team stayed in Linxi for three days, ate, and drank for three days. They did not even see the cultural relics. However, they received arge number of gifts and happily returned to Beijing with the inspection report without any abnormalities. This matter was put on hold.

    However, after the inspection team left, the Feng family and the Chu family fell into a state of panic. They sealed the entire Linxi City.

    As the two families had immense power, Linxi was sealed for an entire month.

    A monthter, something happened to the Feng family and the Chu family.

    During that period of time, almost every day, all sorts of strange murders would happen in the two families.

    At first, the police could help them cover it up, but after the matter blew up, even the local police could not cover up so many things.

    Outsiders did not know the details, but three monthster, the Feng family and the Chu family collectively moved out of China and became the most shocking news of that era.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know the details either.¡± Old Master Jun picked up his teacup and took another sip.

    He had heard these things from the people in power of the Jun family at that time. When he was born, the Feng and Chu families had already left China.

    Seeing Jun Shiling deep in thought, Old Master Jun was a little puzzled. ¡°Why are you suddenly interested in this??¡±

    ¡°Grandpa, why didn¡¯t you mention this before?¡± The Emperor Yuan that Old Master mentioned reminded Jun Shiling of his younger brother that Xia Wanyuan had once mentioned. Her younger brother¡¯s final title was Emperor Yuan Xia.

    ¡°Why are you talking about this?¡± Old Master Jun shook his head. ¡°Our Jun family¡¯s ancestral teachings are to walk a solid path. I don¡¯t want you to know about these gods and ghosts. Let¡¯s not talk about whether that desire is true or not. Even if it¡¯s true, how can there be a free lunch in the world?¡±

    To be able to obtain endless treasures, correspondingly, you would have to pay a huge price. Just like the Feng family and the Chu family. Back then, so many people had died for no reason, but it was all for nothing.

    ¡°I understand, Grandpa. Continue with your work. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Jun Shiling looked at the time and stood up. ¡°I have a meetingter.¡±

    Now that Jun Shiling was quite mature, even if he told Jun Shiling those things, Old Master was not worried about what would happen to Jun Shiling. He smiled and waved his hand. ¡°Go, go. Next time youe, remember to bring Xiao Bao over. I haven¡¯t seen him in a long time. I miss him so much.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After leaving the courtyard, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened as he looked at the alley filled with sunlight.

    He had always been a firm materialist. Even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance was a coincidence.

    However, from the looks of it, there might be another reason for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival.

    Obtaining Emperor Yuan, obtaining the world.

    <i>Was this prophecy true? Had the corpse of the Yuan Emperor in the ancient tomb been taken away by the Chu family?</i>

    At this moment, in the Chu family in Continent F.

    Chu Yi was discussing something with the local leaders in the front hall when Su Yao secretly sneaked into Chu Yi¡¯s study.

    After such a long time, Su Yao knew that Chu Yi had always hated others spying on his life. He would never install cameras at his workce.

    Su Yao entered the study and closed the door. She walked to the desk and flipped through the documents on it.

    As Su Yao read, she quickly memorized the contents of the document in her mind.

    ording to Chu Yi¡¯s habit of holding meetings, he would be back in half an hour. Su Yao raced against time to fill her head with all sorts of documents.

    Time passed minute by minute. In the front hall, Chu Yi smiled and bade farewell to the local leader. After sending the leader out the door, Chu Yi walked in.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Su Yao?¡± Chu Yi asked the butler casually on the way back.

    ¡°I just saw Miss Su in the garden. I¡¯ll go and find her.¡±

    ¡°No need,¡± Chu Yi said calmly.

    ording to her experience, Chu Yi would be back in three minutes. Su Yao hurriedly stood up and returned everything to its original position before preparing to leave.

    At that moment, familiar footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

    Su Yao¡¯s heart was beating like a drum.

    <i>Why is Chu Yi back so early today?!</i>

    Su Yao looked around and found a hidden corner to hide in. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.

    Su Yao knew Chu Yi¡¯s habits too well. She followed Chu Yi¡¯s habits and returned everything to its original position. Chu Yi did not notice anything unusual. He walked to the desk and worked quietly for a while. Then, he stood up and looked at the scenery by the window for a while before walking to the ancient painting hanging in the room.

    Su Yao was afraid that Chu Yi would notice, so she only dared to nce at him asionally.

    A second ago, she saw Chu Yi admiring the ancient painting. When she looked again, Chu Yi was no longer in the room.

    Su Yao held her breath and stuck half of her head out to check carefully. However, she did not find Chu Yi.

    Su Yao frowned.<i>?I did not hear the door open, but why did Chu Yi disappear for no reason???</i>

    Her doubts onlysted for a second. Since she did not see Chu Yi, Su Yao carefully walked out. After confirming that there was no one, she secretly slipped out the way she came.

 Chapter 1322 - Assassination

    <h4>Chapter 1322: Assassination</h4>

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Chu Yi had never liked to be disturbed. The bodyguards and secret guards in the manor were far away, so Su Yao could sessfully leave the study.

    In the secret passage, Chu Yi ced the wooden tokens withplicated inscriptions on the coffin.

    Beside the coffin stood a gray-haired old man.

    ¡°Mr. Lin, can this person really be revived?¡± Although from the moment he became the sessor of the Chu family, he was already rted to the corpse lying in front of him,

    However, after so many years, they had used all sorts of methods but could not revive the person in front of them.

    <i>He had died for more than a thousand years. What was revival? A mummy?</i>

    The old man called Mr. Lin was the military advisor who had been following the Chu family. He touched his white beard and shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±

    To be precise, no one knew the authenticity of that prophecy.

    ¡°Did you discover anything from the records on those bamboo slips?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Old Master Lin handed the things copied from the bamboo slip to Chu Yi. ¡°We studied the records on those cultural relics and realized that one person¡¯s name was hidden among many major events that happened at that time.¡±

    Whether it was restoring the country, resisting the enemy, or various sacrificial celebrations, it could be seen from the murals that there was someone with a higher status than Emperor Xia Yuan.

    However, in the history books, this person¡¯s name had been erased.

    Chu Yi took it and looked at it. His expression gradually became strange. ¡°Did you deduce this dynasty¡¯s history from the cultural relics?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The old man nodded. ¡°It¡¯s strange. There¡¯s clearly someone who has a huge impact on the entire dynasty, but the identity has been hidden.¡±

    Looking at the various historical events on the document, the corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Mr. Lin, do you usually like to watch movies?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Old Master Lin did not know why Chu Yi suddenly asked this.

    He was a more old-fashioned person to begin with and did not have much ability to ept many new things in the modern world. He rarely watched television dramas and movies.

    ¡°Then I suggest that Old Master Lin watch more movies, especially Xia Wanyuan¡¯s,¡± Chu Yi suddenly said inexplicably.

    Old Master Lin frowned. ¡°Young Master, what do you mean?¡±

    Chu Yi closed the document in his hand. ¡°Come and talk to me after you watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie.¡±

    With that, Chu Yi turned and left.

    Looking at Chu Yi¡¯s back, Old Master Lin was filled with confusion. He could not understand why Chu Yi had suddenly mentioned Xia Wanyuan.?<i>Who was Xia Wanyuan?</i>

    Chu Yi left the secret passage and lowered the mechanism again. The entire wall slowly closed. He walked to a chair and sat down. He thought quietly for a while before calling the butler in.

    ¡°Young Master, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Let Su Yao pack up and go to China with me.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say yesterday that you weren¡¯t going to Beijing?¡± As a superpower in Continent F, China naturally sent Chu Yi an invitation, but Chu Yi rejected it.

    ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind now.¡± Chu Yi tapped his finger on the table. ¡°Prepare to set off in two hours.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    In Beijing, almost all the departments were mobilized for the international exchange.

    It was the busiest time in Beijing and the most secure time in Beijing.

    However, under such circumstances, Jiang Kui was restless.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, are you sure you want to do it now?? The timing hasn¡¯t been good recently. The exchange is imminent, and security is very strict everywhere.¡±

    A hint of ruthlessness shed across Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes. ¡°Now.¡±

    At other times, Xia Wanyuan would be surrounded by all sorts of secret guards. It was because the security in Beijing was strict now that the other forces around her had rxed.

    It looked like the most tightly guarded time was often the easiest time to find an opportunity.

    ¡°Okay, but¡­¡± Everyone was still nervous.

    In the past, it had always been small fights. This time, they were really going to touch Jun Shiling¡¯s Achilles heel. If they did not seed, they would die for it. Everyone had an indescribable fear in their hearts.

    ¡°What are you afraid of? I¡¯m in front.¡± Looking at everyone¡¯s expressions, Jiang Kui roared angrily, ¡°Do as I say. This time, I want Jun Shiling to suffer so much that he wants to die!¡±

    During this period of time, the power of the Jiang family had fallen more and more into Jiang Yun¡¯s hands. Jiang Kui could no longer sit still. No matter how everyone persuaded him, he was determined to get rid of Xia Wanyuan first through this meeting.

    Since Jiang Kui was so determined, the others did not persuade him anymore and arranged the matter.

    Hearing this news, Jiang Yun sat in the office with a wine ss and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡±

    ¡°Miss, should we tell Old Master about this? Young Master is so reckless. If anything happens, won¡¯t our entire Jiang family die with him?¡±

    Jiang Yun took a sip of wine. ¡°Not only can¡¯t I tell him, but I also have to help Jiang Kui hide this news.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The assistant did not understand. ¡°But what if something happens?¡±

    The corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s lips curled up slightly.?<i>Since Father Jiang doted on his son so much, let¡¯s see how much Father Jiang could do for his precious son after something happened.</i>

    Time passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, it was the eve of the exchange. People from all over the world gathered in Beijing.

    ¡°Are you very curious about China?¡± In the Beijing Hotel, an inexplicable glint shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes as she looked at Su Yao, who was looking out of the window.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never been here before. I¡¯m very curious,¡± Su Yao replied obediently.

    ¡°Really?¡± Chu Yi replied calmly and did not say anything else.

    Su Yao sat in front of the window and looked at the streets and shops outside. Her eyes were red.

    The hotel they were staying in now was where she and Chu Yi hade a few months ago. In just a few months, everything had changed.

    ¡°Come here,¡± Chu Yi suddenly called out to Su Yao. Su Yao tidied her expression and turned to walk towards Chu Yi.

    ¡°Send this to the Jun family.¡±

    ¡°Where is the Jun family?¡±

    ¡°The chauffeur will bring you there.¡± Chu Yi handed an envelope to Su Yao. ¡°This is a confidential document. You have to see Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling take it with your own eyes before you cane back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    About half an hourter, the chauffeur stopped the car in front of the Jun family¡¯s manor. ¡°Miss Su, go in. I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Yao nodded and got out of the car with her things.

    She went forward and told the guard. Soon, someone came to bring her in.

    In the main building, Xia Wanyuan was writing with Xiao Bao when Uncle Wang walked forward. ¡°Madam, we have a guest.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan ced the pen in Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and let him write it himself. She turned around and looked at the door.

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes.

    Su Yao walked over with the documents. ¡°Hello, Miss Xia. Young Master Chu sent me to send you something.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not take the document. Instead, she stared into Su Yao¡¯s eyes for a while.

    Su Yao was a little embarrassed by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze. She forced a smile. ¡°Miss Xia, is there a problem?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and smiled faintly. ¡°No problem. I just think Miss Su¡¯s eyes are very beautiful.¡±

    Su Yao¡¯s expression stiffened. ¡°Miss Xia, you¡¯re too kind. My petty appearance is nothingpared to you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else to Su Yao. She opened the document bag in front of Su Yao and took out a piece of white paper.

    Su Yao¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°I didn¡¯t touch the things inside.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not surprised at all. ¡°Your young master sent me a piece of white paper. It has nothing to do with you.¡±

    Su Yao looked very puzzled, and Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else. She pointed at the sofa not far away. ¡°Sit for a while.¡±

    Su Yao waved her hand. ¡°No, thank you. Since the thing has been delivered, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stared at Su Yao for a while, then nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Under Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sizing gaze, Su Yao forced herself to calm down and left the manor.

    ¡°Mommy, what are you looking at?¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was looking outside the door, Xiao Bao leaned over curiously.

    Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Looking at an old friend.¡±

    ¡°Then Mommy, why don¡¯t you keep her for dinner?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sighed slightly. ¡°She might not want to stay now.¡±

    Xiao Bao nodded as if he understood. ¡°Mommy, sit down quickly. Don¡¯t stand too for too long.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held Xiao Bao¡¯s hand and sat on the sofa. She thought for a while, then picked up her bag and walked out. ¡°Be good at home. I¡¯m going out to do something.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Bao nodded obediently and walked to the side to practice calligraphy.

    After leaving the manor, Xia Wanyuan drove to Glory World Corporation.

    When he heard his assistant report that Xia Wanyuan hade, Xuan Sheng thought that he had heard wrongly.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan? Then quickly invite her in.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±?<i>Boss, you said a second ago that you wanted to chase out all the women who harassed you.?</i>

    When Xia Wanyuan entered the office, Xuan Sheng had already gotten someone to change everything in the office to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s favorite style.

    Afterpleting everything from the renovation of the furniture to the cement of various artifacts, the assistant retreated with his subordinates and sighed silently in his heart.

    <i>Sigh, why bother? Our boss is simply the most bitter person in the world.</i>

    Seeing the decorations and furnishings in the office, Xia Wanyuan could naturally tell. Her eyes flickered, and she immediately did not know ifing here was the right thing to do.

    Xuan Sheng looked very happy. ¡°Why do you have time toe to my side today?¡±

    ¡°I have something to discuss with you.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and told Xuan Sheng about Su Yao.

    ¡°You mean that¡¯s Feng Wuyou?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. You should know her better than me.¡±

    ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll verify it.¡± Xuan Sheng pushed a cup of tea in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Try it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± A smile appeared in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes.

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan liked to drink tea, Xuan Sheng specially got someone to cultivate the best tea leaves in the tea house in the south, although he did not know when Xia Wanyuan woulde over.

    However, now that Xia Wanyuan had drunk it, everything he had done was not in vain.

    She chatted with Xuan Sheng about Feng Wuyou and discussed the opening ceremony of the Moon Bay project with him.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go over and keep an eye on the opening tomorrow. Don¡¯t worry, you can just go over when the timees.¡± Xuan Sheng sat upright on the sofa with a gentle expression.

    ¡°Okay, then it¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea.

    ¡°Why are you so polite?¡± Xuan Sheng took the teapot and poured another cup for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re attending the exchange, right?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t go then. I¡¯ll go to Linxi to help supervise the work.¡± Xuan Sheng held a small spoon and carefully removed the tea leaves that were still floating on the water before pushing the cup to Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the tea leaves that had been removed, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered and she sighed softly in her heart.

    She had already told Xuan Sheng what she needed to say. It was useless for her to say anything now.

    ¡°Unhappy?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s slight frown, Xuan Sheng asked carefully, ¡°Did I offend you?

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so careful in front of me.¡±

    Looking at Xuan Sheng, who was sitting upright and carefully in front of her, Xia Wanyuan recalled the first time she had seen Xuan Sheng.

    At that time, she had just arrived in the modern world and was wandering the streets alone. Xuan Sheng said, ¡°Miss, be careful.¡± She turned around and saw that pair of amorous and arrogant eyes.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s peach blossom eyes were filled with a smile. The ck diamond earrings shone faintly under the street lights.

    At that time, the impression Xuan Sheng gave Xia Wanyuan was that he was a man like the wind.

    However, now, this wind was held back.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was too obvious. Xuan Sheng also thought of his past self. Heughed at himself. ¡°Do you think that the current me is especially boring?¡±

    Xuan Sheng also knew that a woman would not like a man who was careful and timid in front of her, but knowing this principle was one thing. When Xia Wanyuan really appeared in front of him, it was another.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s every move would affect his thoughts. He was afraid that he would offend Xia Wanyuan, but he could not help but want to interact with her for a while more. Under such a pull, he did not know how careful he had be.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°You¡¯re quite good now.¡±

    Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°If you praise me, you can at least make me happy for a year.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xuan Sheng. ¡°Then go ahead. I have other things to do.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng stood up and personally sent Xia Wanyuan out.

    ¡°If there¡¯s anything next time, you¡¯re wee to look for me again.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile, Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes were warm.

    The assistant was almost stunned. He had never known that the depression on Xuan Sheng couldpletely disappear. It was as if in front of Xia Wanyuan, he had stripped off all his disguise and offered his warmest self.

    ¡°Mm, okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng, then turned to get into the car.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan stepped into the car, Xuan Sheng acutely heard a soft beep. Xia Wanyuan heard it too.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Xuan Sheng stopped Xia Wanyuan, then squatted on the ground and nced under the car. Then, his expression changed.

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    Under the car, on a circr ck box, a red light was clearly flickering.

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan stepped into the car, the counter on the box had been activated. Now, the numbers on it were rapidly passing.

    ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know what had happened, but she subconsciously felt vignt.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xuan Sheng smiled and stood up. ¡°Don¡¯t move first. There seems to be a problem with the fuel tank. If you move, more will leak. Let me take a look.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side and stepped into the car. Then, he grabbed Xia Wanyuan and quickly threw her in the direction of the assistant not far away. The assistant subconsciously caught Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Xuan Sheng?!¡± After Xia Wanyuan stabilized herself, she hurriedly looked in Xuan Sheng¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Step back!¡± Xuan Sheng gestured for his assistant to pull Xia Wanyuan back, then looked at the staff at the side. ¡°Go and call the police.¡±

    Seeing Xuan Sheng¡¯s reaction, the staff who instinctively reacted and hurriedly retreated with his people.

    ¡°Miss Xia, leave first.¡± The assistant brought Xia Wanyuan into another car. ¡°It¡¯s definitely not safe here anymore. CEO Xuan definitely doesn¡¯t want you to continue staying here.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to say something when a car suddenly rushed towards her and threw down a ck bag.

    Xia Wanyuan had just run a few steps when a deafening explosion sounded beside her.

    In the meeting room of the Jun Corporation, everyone was discussing the proposal intensely. Suddenly, Lin Jing rushed in.

    He quickly ran to Jun Shiling¡¯s side and said a few words. Jun Shiling¡¯s expression changed drastically. He stood up and strode out.

    The remaining people in the meeting room looked at each other. ¡°What¡¯s going on? I¡¯ve never seen CEO Jun like this.¡±

    At the same time, the topic of the ¡°Capital ident¡± quickly upied all the news pages.

    ¡°A major ident happened in Beijing today. Please avoid the traffic from the block.¡±

    This news quickly blew up everyone¡¯s peaceful lives.

    [F*ck, what happened? I just came back from there. I heard that there was a car ident.]

    [What car ident? I heard it was blown up. I watched the fire over there with my own eyes. I heard that several people died at the scene.]

    [Are you crazy? Someone actually caused such a hugemotion at such an important time.]

    While theizens were discussing, the Jiang family was already in chaos.

    ¡°Who asked you to attack?!¡± Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could eat the people in front of him. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that you can¡¯t attack without my orders?!¡±

    ¡°Young Master, it was a mistake. The person in front listened to the wrong order.¡±

    ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Jiang Kui kicked the person in front of him down. ¡°Where¡¯s Xuan Li! Call him over!¡±

    ¡°Young Master Jiang, why are you so angry? Am I not here?¡± Xuan Li smiled as he walked over.

    Seeing Xuan Li, Jiang Kui was even angrier. ¡°It was you, right?! Did you ask them to do it!¡±

    The corners of Xuan Li¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Young Master Jiang, what are you saying? I don¡¯t have the ability to get your people to do it.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Jiang Kui seemed to have suddenly reacted. ¡°You used me!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that, Young Master Jiang. Back then, you wanted to get rid of Xia Wanyuan, but it was your own idea. Didn¡¯t I help you resolve your worries? The most important thing now is not to find who is right or wrong, but what to do next.¡±

    ¡°What do you think we should do?¡± The current oue was what Jiang Kui wanted to see, but he panicked. ¡°What if Jun Shiling ispletely crazy? Who can stop him when he goes crazy?¡±

    Xuan Li sat opposite Jiang Kui leisurely. ¡°Young Master Jiang, if he goes crazy, so be it. As long as he doesn¡¯t hurt us, there won¡¯t be a problem, right?¡±

    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Why don¡¯t I understand?¡± Jiang Kui was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something. He frowned and looked at Xuan Li. ¡°You mean to divert the trouble??¡±

    The corners of Xuan Li¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Young Master is indeed smart.¡±

    ¡°But to whom?¡± Jiang Kui calmed down and began to ask for Xuan Li¡¯s opinion. ¡°You should already have someone chosen.¡±

    ¡°Young Master Jiang, who else in China would want Xia Wanyuan to disappear forever other than you?¡±

    Jiang Kui thought for a while and suddenly looked enlightened. ¡°I understand! You mean, the Lin family?!¡±

    Xuan Li smiled but did not say anything. ¡°Young Master Jiang, you¡¯re such a smart person. I don¡¯t think you need me to remind you.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for someone to do it now!¡± With a solution to the matter, Jiang Kui immediately prepared to arrange it.

    Watching Jiang Kui leave in a hurry, Xuan Li narrowed his eyes, his gaze dark.

    After the explosion, the scene was in chaos. Ambnces ran towards the hospital one after another.

    When Jun Shiling arrived at the hospital, Xia Wanyuan was in the operating theater.

    Looking at the high red light, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were cold.

    ¡°Have you found out who did it?¡±

    ¡°ording to our investigation, it should be the Lin family who did it, but¡­¡±

    ¡°But what?¡±

    ¡°The evidence is too obvious andplete.¡± Lin Jing reported the investigation data to Jun Shiling. ¡°Although we can¡¯t rule out the possibility that Lin Qingyuan deliberately provoked us, the process of us obtaining this data is indeed quite simple.¡±

    Jun Shiling roughly nced at it and came to a conclusion. ¡°It¡¯s not Lin Qingyuan. Continue investigating.¡±

    A person¡¯s personality was closely rted to his style of doing things.

    Someone like Lin Qingyuan had always liked to use a soft knife to enjoy the joy of pocketing his prey.

    And this style of directly targeting Xia Wanyuan meant that the person behind the scenes had an impatient temper and was easily impulsive.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send someone to investigate immediately.¡± After Jun Shiling finished speaking, Lin Jing already had a guess in his heart. Now, he only needed to find someone to verify the validity of this guess.

    After Lin Jing left, Jun Shiling guarded the ward alone.

    After some time, the ward door finally opened and Shen Xiu walked out with a serious expression. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Seeing Shen Xiu¡¯s expression, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart sank. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°She might not be able to keep the child.¡± Shen Xiu pursed his lips. ¡°The shock wave from the explosion and the broken iron te of the car passed through Madam¡¯s stomach. The situation is critical.¡±

    ¡°The rest doesn¡¯t matter. I just want Xia Wanyuan to live.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were dark, and the redness in them was almost overflowing.

    ¡°Okay, there¡¯s something else. The expert group inside said that they need the most advanced AS medicine in the world as treatment support. There might be a chance of survival.¡±

    ¡°AS?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll get it.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go in and help,¡± Shen Xiu said and turned to walk in.

    ¡°Doctor Shen.¡± Jun Shiling suddenly stopped Shen Xiu.

    Shen Xiu turned around in confusion. ¡°CEO Jun, is there anything else?¡±

    ¡°Please help me tell them that they must protect Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>

    From Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s acquaintance to their love, Shen Xiu was a witness. He naturally knew Jun Shiling¡¯s feelings for Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s heavy sorrow that was about to seep out, Shen Xiu felt very ufortable. He nodded. ¡°CEO Jun, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll do our best.¡±

    With that, Shen Xiu entered the operating theater.

    Jun Shiling quickly got someone to look for AS medicine worldwide. However, this medicine was already very rare. In addition, the production process was confidential. There were only a few channels in the world that had this medicine.

    ¡°CEO Jun, there¡¯s no such AS drug in the world anymore.¡± Lin Jing quickly came to report the situation. ¡°However, there might be some leftovers with the creator of the drug.¡±

    ¡°Who is it?¡± If it was not someone very special, Lin Jing would not have such a hesitant expression.

    ¡°K.¡± Lin Jing said the name hesitantly.

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. ¡°Contact him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, Lin Jing established a connection with K through the Big Poison and Owl of the Red Triangle.

    In Continent F, Yu Qian sat on the high seat and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°AS drug? One day, Jun Shiling will also ask for this drug?¡±

    Yu Qian could be considered one of the people with the highest medical skills in the world. Other than selling those viruses that others could not understand, he would sometimes develop some special medicine on a whim.

    The AS drug was a special medicine he had casually made.

    There were many illegal ingredients in this medicine, but the effect was extremely good. In many critical moments, it could even revive the dead.

    Although its prohibited ingredients were forbidden by various ces, in private, this medicine was sold for an astronomical price.

    However, Yu Qian had no intention of earning money from it. After the first batch of medicine circted on the market, Yu Qian cut off its supply channel. From then on, this medicine was priceless.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Jayce nodded excitedly. ¡°It seems that something happened to Jun Shiling¡¯s wife. The words he released were that he would do anything as long as we¡¯re willing to give them the AS medicine.¡±

    Yu Qian leisurely yed with the prayer beads in his hand. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jayce agreed with Yu Qian¡¯s actions. ¡°That Jun Shiling snatched away so much of our market share and even stopped our expansion in Continent M. Who asked him to be this arrogant!!¡±

    ¡°Go down and watch Wei Zimu. Don¡¯t let him look for me.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    However, Wei Zimu already knew about this. He rushed to look for Yu Qian, but Jayce blocked his way. ¡°Young Master Wei, our boss said that you can¡¯t go in.¡±

    ¡°Move.¡± Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes were clearly anxious. Seeing that Jayce still did not let him, Wei Zimu barged in. ¡°Get lost.¡±

    However, Jayce was a well-trained mercenary elite after all. He subdued Wei Zimu in a few moves. ¡°Young Master Wei, please forgive me. I have no choice but to listen to the boss¡¯s orders.¡±

    With that, Jayce pushed Wei Zimu away.

    As he walked, Jayce suddenly felt liquid dripping from his hand. A mocking glint shed across his eyes. ¡°Young Master Wei, as a man, you don¡¯t have to cry, right?¡±

    With that, Jayce lowered his head to take a look and was stunned.

    Arge amount of blood gushed out of Wei Zimu¡¯s mouth. Jayce reached out and opened his mouth. Wei Zimu actually bit off his tongue.

    This time, Jayce panicked.?<i>Although Yu Qian was ruthless to Wei Zimu, he had also said that as long as he did not die, Wei Zimu had to live. If something really happened to Wei Zimu, wouldn¡¯t all of us have to die with him?!</i>

    Jayce hurriedly brought Wei Zimu to Yu Qian. ¡°Boss, Wei Zimu bit his tongue andmitted suicide.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s hand that was ying with the prayer beads paused. He immediately stood up and walked to Wei Zimu to check. ¡°Send him to theboratory. I¡¯ll operate on him.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Jayce said and was about to carry Wei Zimu away when Wei Zimu grabbed the corner of the table tightly and made up his mind not to leave.

    Jayce used all his strength to pull Wei Zimu. Wei Zimu grabbed the corner of the table tightly. Even though his hand was already bleeding, he did not let go.

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°In order to save her, you don¡¯t even want your life?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian quietly, his eyes filled with determination.

    The two of them were in a deadlock. Yu Qian flicked his sleeves and turned around. ¡°Since you want to die so much, die. I believe you¡¯ll be very happy to die with your Sister Wanyuan.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian left. Jayce hugged Wei Zimu and did not know what to do.

    <i>Could it be that Yu Qian was really prepared to watch Wei Zimu die????</i>Although he wanted to see this scene, he felt that this did not seem like Yu Qian¡¯s style.

    Just as Jayce was letting his imagination run wild, themunication device suddenly rang anxiously.

    Jayce picked it up. After the other party said a few words, Jayce¡¯s expression changed drastically.

    At that moment, he could not care less about Wei Zimu and ran straight towards Yu Qian. ¡°Boss, something happened. The J Alliance suddenly attacked our various bases. We could not react in time and suffered heavy losses.¡±

    Yu Qian was not surprised at all. His expression was very calm and he even smiled. ¡°It¡¯s indeed him. After hiding for so long, he can¡¯t help but reveal hisst trump card.¡±

    Jayce looked confused. ¡°Boss, what do you mean??¡±

    ¡°Hasn¡¯t the leader of the J Alliance never appeared?¡±

    Jayce¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You mean that the mysterious person behind the scenes is Jun Shiling??¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian nodded. ¡°I believe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation has reached a dead end. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have let Jun Shiling show his trump card.¡±

    ¡°Then we?¡±

    Yu Qian stood up. ¡°Where¡¯s Wei Zimu??¡±

    ¡°Outside.¡±

    ¡°Save him first.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± Jayce shook his head silently in his heart. He no longer knew what Yu Qian¡¯s attitude towards Wei Zimu was.

    However, there was something he knew very well. Anyone could die, but not Wei Zimu.

    In Beijing Hospital, Lin Jing stood in the corridor and reported the situation to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already pressured K.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± After staying up the entire night, Jun Shiling looked rather tired. He signed the document. ¡°Contact him again. If he still insists on not giving it to you, attack his base at all costs, even if both parties suffer.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    At that moment, the ward door suddenly opened and Shen Xiu walked out. ¡°CEO Jun, Madam is awake for the time being. She wants to see you.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up and walked in. It was only when Shen Xiu reminded him that he remembered to change into a sterile protective suit.

    Afterpleting the protective steps, Jun Shiling walked into the operating theater.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan lying on the operating table, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes instantly turned red.

    When she went out in the morning, Xia Wanyuan was clearly a healthy person with light makeup. Because she wanted to wear something, she pulled Jun Shiling and asked him for a long time.

    In the end, when they were trying on clothes, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan around in a very indecent manner. In the end, he helped Xia Wanyuan choose a light blue silk dress.

    He still remembered looking back when he went out. Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa in a long dress, as exquisite as a beautiful doll.

    And now, Xia Wanyuan was covered inrge patches of blood. Her hair was messy and her face was pale. Just a nce was enough to make Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ache.

    !!

    He walked towards Xia Wanyuan and held her hand. ¡°Baby, look at me.¡±

    Sensing Jun Shiling approaching, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes with difficulty. Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s red eyes, Xia Wanyuan forced a smile. ¡°Why are you crying again?¡±

    Jun Shiling wanted to hold Xia Wanyuan tightly, but he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would hurt. He could only hold her hand weakly. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you here. You must be fine.¡±

    ¡°Child...¡± Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Protect the child.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll let them do their best.¡± Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead. Hot tears dripped onto Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯re going to start the surgery,¡± the expert reminded him. Jun Shiling immediately took a step back and stood at the side, staring intently at the operating table.

    After a night of fermentation, some details of this ident were finally revealed.

    The news of Xia Wanyuan being injured in this ident gradually spread online.

    At first, not many people believed it.

    After all, everyone knew that not only was Xia Wanyuan a celebrity with a high national poprity, but she was also the wife of the richest man. The security forces around her must be quite strong. Nothing would happen so easily.

    When the news first broke, the person who released the news was even reported for spreading fake news.

    Until a live video was leaked online.

    The Glory World Corporation was located on a prosperousmercial street. When the ident happened, there were many tourists sightseeing nearby.

    Coincidentally, someone was taking photos of the surrounding tall buildings and identally took photos of the situation at the entrance of the Glory World Corporation.

    From the video, one could clearly see a few cars rushing straight towards Xia Wanyuan. The assistant could not dodge in time with Xia Wanyuan. In that half a second of pause, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side exploded.

    The powerful shock wave instantly shattered the car beside it. No one dared to imagine what Xia Wanyuan, whose delicate skin was on the verge of explosion, would look like now.

    This video was taken quite clearly. Only then did everyone dare to believe that the rumor-like revtion was actually true.

    [ Oh my god!!! How could this be?! Those cars are clearly heading towards Xia Wanyuan, right? This is premeditated!! ]

    [ It looks so serious. Oh my god, will Xia Wanyuan be fine? I¡¯m going crazy. ]

    [ Ahhh, no!!! Goddess, please be safe!!! I¡¯m dying of anxiety. What¡¯s the situation now? Is Xia Wanyuan okay?? Can you tell us the current situation? I don¡¯t even dare to let my mother know about this. I¡¯m afraid my mother will be so sad that she won¡¯t be able to eat. ]

    The topic ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s life is in danger¡± quickly squeezed the trending topic on Weibo.

    In the past, everyone would always talk about how high Xia Wanyuan¡¯s nationality was, but no one made a clear statistic.

    Until this moment, the news of ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s¡± life being in danger had instantly spread throughout the world.

    An actress¡¯s poprity at the grassroots level relied on her works to take root.

    Through those television dramas and the movie ¡°Eldest Princess¡±, Xia Wanyuan had already be a familiar target for people of all levels and ages.

    Even in remote viges, as long as there was television, everyone would ask each other when they met.

    ¡°Do you know? That Eldest Princess is sick. I heard that she¡¯s about to die.¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, such a good girl. No way. I hope she¡¯s safe.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans even covered all ages.

    On this day, many students returned home from school to eat. However, when they walked into the kitchen, they realized that the pot was cold.

    ¡°Mom, where¡¯s the food??¡±

    ¡°You only know how to eat. Do you know that Xia Wanyuan is sick and about to die? You child, you have no conscience at all. Get lost and do your homework. You¡¯re not allowed to eat!!!¡±

    Student: ???

    Because of the abnormality of the parents, the students went online to seekfort. Then, they were surprised to discover, ¡°Hey, you didn¡¯t eat because of Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°What a coincidence. Me too.¡±

    ¡°Me too.¡±

    On this day, the amount of incense on the temples in the country began to increase.

    Many, many fans had nevere into contact with Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan had used her work and character to transform herself into a real person and apany her fans.

    The students who had read her books, the fans who liked her television dramas, the fans who loved to watch her movies, the consumers who liked to use the Xiafeng Group¡¯s products, the supporters who liked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s music, all sorts of official colleagues, colleagues in academia, and friends in the entertainment industry began to spontaneously pray for Xia Wanyuan.

    This was a purely voluntary act. No one initiated it or organized it.

    However, it formed an extremelyrge-scale spontaneous act of people across China.

    In the past, Xia Wanyuan had used her sses, her music, and her works to bringpanionship andfort to everyone.

    Now, at the moment when Xia Wanyuan was facing a crisis, those who had received her kindness stood up.

    There were also many fans of Xia Wanyuan on the Inte, but most of them hated her.

    Everyone wanted to apud this matter, but a famous blogger released a clip of China. The anti-fans fell silent after watching it.

    That day, on China¡¯s Weibo interface, an event wasunched to pray for Xia Wanyuan.

    This blessing operation could light up Kong Ming Lanterns online, and it was done with real names. A person could only light one.

    From the data calcted by the blogger, the number of Kong Ming Lanterns lit for Xia Wanyuan that day was actually as high as 500 million times.

    In other words, almost all theizens had lit amp for Xia Wanyuan.

    Even anti-fans could not help but be touched by such a scene.

    There were personalments on every Kong Ming Lantern. If one casually intercepted a few, they could see theizens¡¯ sincere thoughts.

    ¡°I don¡¯t chase celebrities. I purely like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s songs. I hope she gets better quickly.¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is my motivation to get into Qing University. I just received a notice today. I hope to see Professor Xia at school when school starts and listen to her lecture.¡±

    ........

    There were countless of them.

    Chapter 1329: Untitled

    Xia Wanyuany in the operating theater and could not see this at all, but Chen Yun, Lu Li, and the rest saw everything on the Inte.

    At this moment, other than being anxious, the two of them had no other choice. Looking at thements online, Chen Yun¡¯s eyes silently turned red.

    ¡°Brother Chen, Sister Xia will get better, right?¡± Lu Li¡¯s eyes were red, as if she had already cried.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Chen Yun nodded. ¡°She¡¯s lucky and blessed. She¡¯ll definitely be fine. I believe she¡¯ll be safe and sound.¡±

    Lu Li looked towards the operating theater. ¡°Brother Chen, I want to go and see CEO Xuan.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s gazes were focused on Xia Wanyuan. No one noticed that in the operating theater, Xuan Sheng¡¯s life and death was also unknown.

    He was at the center of the explosion at that time. In order to protect Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng stepped on the bomb.

    After the incident, he and Xia Wanyuan were carried into the hospital.

    Lu Li rushed over early and watched as Xuan Sheng was carried into the operating theater with a bloody face.

    Xia Wanyuan was not the only one whose life was in danger. Xuan Sheng was also in danger.

    Everyone was praying for Xia Wanyuan, but no one remembered Xuan Sheng or cared about him.

    After all, to the current Xuan Sheng, he did not have a home, parents, or any rtives.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Chen Yun waved his hand and sighed.

    Lu Li ran upstairs. The lights in the operating theater were still on.

    Lu Li pulled a passing nurse. ¡°Nurse, how¡¯s the situation of the person inside?¡±

    The nurse happened to be out to change shifts. She shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s very tragic. His entire body is fried until his flesh is almost gone. I¡¯m not sure if he can survive tonight.¡±

    With that, the nurse left in a hurry to help get the medicine.

    Hearing the nurse¡¯s words, Lu Li¡¯s eyes turned anxious and began to turn red.

    She walked back and forth anxiously at the door. In the end, she found a corner and knelt on the ground.

    At this moment, she had no other choice and could not help. She could only pray to the heavens that Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng were fine.

    Time gradually disappeared, and the lights in the operating theater did not go out. Everyone was getting more and more anxious.

    Just as it was almost two in the morning, the operating theater door suddenly opened. The doctor found Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, Madam¡¯s condition is not good. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was bleeding too much. In addition, as a pregnant woman, many medicines could not be used. The special medicine, AS, had not arrived, so the doctors had no choice.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s aura suddenly darkened. ¡°Stall at all costs first. I¡¯ll think of a way to deal with the special medicine.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The doctor nodded with a serious expression. ¡°But we can only dy it for two hours at most. Please be fast.¡±

    At this moment, in the operating theater, Xia Wanyuan was originally under general anesthesia, but for some reason, her soul seemed to have shaken out of her body.

    She floated in midair, as if she could really see everything lying on the operating table.

    It was as if she did not feel any pain. She quietly watched as the doctors cut her open and kept stabbing her.

    Gradually, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s consciousness was swept into a vortex. When she opened her eyes again, she saw everything familiar from her previous life.

    She actually seemed to have returned to the Great Xia Dynasty.

    Chapter 1330: The Princess Returns to Ancient Times

    On the operating table, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heartbeat gradually slowed down. The doctors began thest treatment method, and the operating theater was in chaos.

    Xia Wanyuan passed through theyers of fog, as if she was suspended in the sky, quietly looking down at everything in the world.

    She saw groups of people heading towards the imperial mausoleum of the Great Xia Dynasty. The cries were endless.

    Through the gauze-like clouds, Xia Wanyuan saw her younger brother, Xia Wei, who had already raised the beam. He was wearing a dragon robe and had a serious expression as he stood at the front of the team.

    Behind Xia Wei, Xia Huangqiao and Xia Yu followed Xia Wei as they wiped their tears.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to reach out and wipe the tears off their faces, but the fog in the middle seemed to never be removed.

    From afar, Xia Wanyuan could only see Xia Wei say something to his younger siblings before everyone entered the imperial mausoleum.

    In the imperial mausoleum, Xia Wei was originally offering incense to Xia Wanyuan when he suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something.

    ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Xia Wei¡¯s strange expression, Xiao Qiao walked over and asked.

    Xia Wei frowned and searched the top of his head, but in the end, he did not see anything. He retracted his gaze. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±

    Xiao Qiao went to help Xia Wanyuan tidy up her appearance again. Xia Wei sat beside the coffin and subconsciously looked up again.

    Over the years, he had been raised by Xia Wanyuan alone. He was too familiar with her gaze.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan passed away, no one had looked at him like this.

    He had be the emperor above ten thousand people. Everyone looked up to him, and no one would look at him so gently.

    However, Xia Wei felt a familiar gaze just now.

    He thought that he was hallucinating. He reached out and shed at the golden pir beside him. The pain came from his hand and cleared his thoughts, but the feeling of being watched was still there.

    ¡°Your Majesty.¡± At this moment, a man in a ck robe walked towards Xia Wei.

    Xia Wei nced at him and stopped the man before he entered the mausoleum. ¡°Stop. You¡¯re not allowed toe in.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The ck-robed man stood respectfully outside the mausoleum and waited for Xia Wei¡¯s instructions.

    ¡°I think I feel my royal sister¡¯s gaze. Has she not left me?¡±

    The ck-robed man¡¯s head was covered by a hat, so his expression and face could not be seen. One could only see him nod. ¡°I¡¯ve already told Your Majesty that the Eldest Princess has umted countless good karma in her life. Of course, there will be a new turn of events.¡±

    Xia Wei nodded. ¡°You can leave first. I¡¯ll think about it.¡±

    The ck-robed man bowed respectfully to Xia Wei and retreated.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at everything in front of her from afar. She could not hear what Xia Yu and the ck-robed man were saying, but she could see the style of the jade pendant revealed at the ck-robed man¡¯s waist.

    There was a strange totem carved on the jade pendant. Xia Wanyuan had seen it in the mausoleum on Long Qi Mountain.

    The doubts in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart deepened. She wanted to step forward, but she could not lean over.

    The worship ceremony had already begun in the mausoleum. Xia Wei personally closed the coffin lid for Xia Wanyuan.

    ording to the usual practice, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coffin would be buried in the royal tomb and worshiped with the ancestors.

    However, to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surprise, she clearly saw that after the worship ceremony, her coffin was not sent to the tomb¡¯s seal. Instead, it was sent out of the tomb again and transported to other ces.

 Chapter 1331 - Spacetime

    Chapter 1331: Spacetime

    Xia Wei had personally brought people to move the coffin away. Even Xiao Qiao and Xiao Yu did not know about this. When they were guarding the tomb outside, the coffin inside had been secretly reced with an empty coffin.

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to be pushed forward by a force. Wherever her original coffin was sent, she was pushed.

    She was brought into the pce by her body.

    Eunuch Liu carefully reminded Xia Wei, ¡°Your Majesty, this person has already passed away. Will it be inauspicious to transport her back to the pce?¡±

    Xia Wei suddenly turned around and red at the eunuch. He had been raised by Xia Wanyuan, and when he looked at people now, he had the dignity of an emperor. The eunuch was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground to p himself.

    ¡°I spoke too much!!! I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!!¡±

    ¡°Get up.¡± Xia Wei nced at the coffin behind him. ¡°Find a few tight-lipped people and put the coffin in the underground ice cer. If any news leaks, I¡¯ll cut off your head.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± The eunuch hurriedly nodded.

    Xia Wanyuan watched from afar as her coffin entered thergest pce in the pce.

    For some reason, she had a very bad feeling. She kept feeling that Xia Wei¡¯s actions were too strange.?<i>Could it be that the disappearance of the entire Great Xia Dynasty in history was rted to Xia Wei?</i>

    The ck-robed man came again. This time, Xia Wei summoned him into the pce and the two of them chatted for a long time.

    In Beijing Hospital, looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s increasingly t ECG, Shen Xiu¡¯s back broke out in cold sweat.

    ¡°Up defibrition,¡± the doctor shouted. When Shen Xiu brought the emergency equipment over, his hands were trembling.

    The professionalism of a doctor was to be able to remain calm no matter what they faced. However, now, seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s vital signs gradually disappear, Shen Xiu¡¯s hands could not help but tremble.

    Outside the ward, Jun Shiling seemed to have sensed something. He pushed open the operating theater door and barged in, ignoring the nurse¡¯s obstruction.

    Then, the first thing he saw was an ECG that was almost in a straight line.

    No matter how the doctors tried to save her, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ECG did not fluctuate much. She was only hanging on to herst breath, as if her heartbeat wouldpletely disappear in the next second.

    ¡°CEO Jun.¡± Shen Xiu sighed in his heart and walked to Jun Shiling. ¡°We¡¯ve tried our best. In the current situation, we can dy it for at most ten minutes. The fetus¡¯ condition is also very dangerous. Once the mother¡¯s blood stops flowing, the fetus will suffocate five minutester¡­¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression, Shen Xiu did not dare to say the rest.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan lying quietly on the operating table, Jun Shiling walked over with a wooden expression.

    The doctors were still doing their best to save her. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lively eyes were closed, and her pale face was pale.

    Jun Shiling walked forward and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, half squatting in front of the operating table.

    ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to leave me.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side profile, Jun Shiling could not hide the pain in his heart.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling could not say anything. He only kept repeating, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to leave.¡±

    Only he knew Xia Wanyuan¡¯s identity and background. He was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would never return after leaving.

    Jun Shiling had always been extremely domineering in front of everyone. However, at this moment, everyone saw Jun Shiling with red eyes.

    The doctors continued to work in silence, and the entire ward fell into a sad atmosphere.

    The doctor told Jun Shiling that although Xia Wanyuan was unconscious, her hearing was still there, so Jun Shiling kept talking to her.

    In the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan had been floating above the pce for nearly half a month. Her soul seemed to be bound to this world. As long as she took a step, she would be reflected.

    She could not hear what others were saying and could only count the peopleing and going in the pce aimlessly.

    On this day, everyone in the pce followed Xia Wei¡¯s instructions to the front door. The ck-robed man and Xia Wei transported Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coffin out of the pce.

    Xia Wanyuan could finally walk forward with her corpse. However, just as she floated out, Jun Shiling¡¯s suppressed cry suddenly sounded in her ear.

    ¡°What do you want me to do if you leave?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to eat little glutinous rice ballsst time? When you wake up, I¡¯ll make it for you immediately, okay?¡±

    ¡­¡­.

    Other than Jun Shiling¡¯s voice, Xia Wanyuan also heard the fans¡¯ prayers and the calls of all sorts of friends.

    These voices seemed to have gathered into a force that pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corpse. Xia Wanyuan was squeezed in the middle and was pulled here and there.

    At this moment, more and more people went to the temple to offer incense, and more and more people prayed at home.

    In the operating theater, no matter how much Jun Shiling said, Xia Wanyuan still maintained her closed eyes. Her eyelids did not even tremble.

    The defibritor continued to pressurize, but no matter what he did, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s condition was as usual.

    The ECG gradually calmed down, and even the slight fluctuations began to disappear.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s sorrow overflowed like a mountain.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s soul floated in midair. Through time and space, she could sense Jun Shiling¡¯s despair.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached. She looked at Xia Wei, who was not far away. Xia Wei seemed to have sensed something and turned around.

    The prayers of the people in China became louder and louder. In the end, they finally surpassed the suction force of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corpse on her soul andpletely pulled her back.

    Sensing that gaze suddenly disappear, Xia Wei frowned. ¡°My royal sister left.¡±

    ¡°Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess will return to where she belongs.¡±

    Xia Wei turned around. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    In the operating theater, the doctors had already begun to cover Xia Wanyuan with a white cloth. At that moment, the operating theater door was kicked open and Xia Yu walked in with a box.

    ¡°Brother-inw, someone sent this over just now. He said that this is AS medicine.¡±

    After Xia Yu finished speaking, the gazes of the entire operating theater gathered on his hand.

    ¡°Hurry up and use the medicine!¡± Less than half a minute after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heartbeat disappeared, the doctors took the medicine and rushed to inject Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling stopped her weakly. He subconsciously wanted to confirm the safety of the medicine first, but on second thought, Xia Wanyuan was already like this. It did not matter if she was safe or not. It was fine as long as he could save her.

    In Continent F, after surgery and bandages, Wei Zimu finally woke up from hisa. The first thing he did when he woke up was to grab Yu Qian¡¯s arm, his eyes unable to hide his anxiety.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look. Your Sister Wanyuan is already dead.¡±

 Chapter 1332 - Life-saving Medicine

    Chapter 1332: Life-saving Medicine

    Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes instantly froze. The light in his eyes shattered, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

    Yu Qian was originally looking at Wei Zimu¡¯s expression leisurely. Suddenly, Yu Qian stood up and pinched Wei Zimu¡¯s chin. ¡°Do you want to die?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked straight into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes quietly. Then, he reached out to brush Yu Qian¡¯s hand away, stood up, and walked out.

    Jayce looked at Wei Zimu at a loss and then at Yu Qian. ¡°Boss, should we get someone to watch him?¡±

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°Go and prepare the glucose injection for him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Wei Zimu went out for a while and came in with a pen and paper. He wrote on the paper, ¡°You sent it over?¡±

    Yu Qian nced at it. ¡°What else?¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Yu Qian clicked his tongue. ¡°I really don¡¯t know. What do you treat her as? Do you treat her as your biological sister? You want to save her so desperately. Did you save me so desperately back then?¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s hand that was holding the pen instantly stiffened.

    ¡°Oh, right.¡± The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°How could you think of saving me? You were only ying with your kite.¡±

    With every word Yu Qian said, Wei Zimu¡¯s face turned paler.

    Jayce had already brought the glucose over. Yu Qian looked at Wei Zimu. ¡°Stretch out your arm.¡±

    Wei Zimu unbuttoned his shirt and cufflinks. Yu Qian pushed the needle in. As the glucose entered, Wei Zimu¡¯s face gradually became less pale than before.

    He looked at Yu Qian, picked up a pen, and wrote a line of words on the paper. ¡°Thank you. Can I make red date steamed buns for you tonight?¡±

    Looking at the words on the paper, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes narrowed.

    He and Wei Zimu were both from the north. When they were still a happy family of four, what he wanted to eat the most every New Year was the red date steamed buns made by his mother.

    Wei Zimu was smart and often made many buns from books. Every time his mother cooked, Wei Zimu would secretly make a few.

    Although he made them very ugly, after they were out of the pot, he would always give Yu Qian the steamed bun he had made. On the small steamed bun were the memories of the brothers¡¯ childhood.

    Yu Qian¡¯s gazended on the void. After a while, he finally sneered.

    ¡°Brother, do you want to y the family warmth card? There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m not interested in your warmth card.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian stood up and left.

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s departing figure, Wei Zimu sighed softly.

    The wound on his tongue had already been stitched up. Wei Zimu could feel the wound healing quickly.

    He picked up a pen and paper and wrote a line of words. ¡°When did you send the things over?¡±

    Jayce¡¯s attitude towards Wei Zimu was even more respectful. ¡°Young Master Wei, the boss got someone to send the medicine first before operating on you. ording to the speed of the emergency, the medicine has probably arrived in Beijing.¡±

    In Beijing Hospital, everyone was busy in the operating theater. Jun Shiling stood at the side and waited, his eyes fixed on the ECG.

    The moment the AS drug was injected into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body, everyone could see her heart beating slightly.

    Although the frequency was very slow, it finally gave everyone hope.

    As the medicine gradually took effect, the electrocardiogram in the room gradually changed from a straight line to a curve.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the situation is gradually stabilizing. Why don¡¯t you go out and wait first? We¡¯ll inform you after the surgery.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded and turned to leave.

    Shen Xiu casually nced at Jun Shiling¡¯s back and his gaze froze.

    Jun Shiling was wearing a shirt and suit jacket when he entered. Now, one could see from his back that it was soaked in cold sweat.

    When he left the ward, Bo Xiao and An Rao were also standing outside.

    An Rao wanted to ask but did not dare to. In the end, Bo Xiao asked, ¡°Is she okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded reluctantly. ¡°Her situation is gradually stabilizing.¡±

    An Rao and Bo Xiao clearly heaved a sigh of relief, especially An Rao. She was about to pinch her palm until it broke. Now that they had heard some good news, they were finally relieved.

    ¡°I¡¯ll wait here for Yuan Yuan toe out.¡± An Rao sat on the sofa and waved at Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll be with you,¡± Bo Xiao said as he sat beside An Rao.

    Jun Shiling turned around and looked at the lights of the operating theater quietly. He stood for two hours.

    Finally, he waited for Shen Xiu and the rest toe out. Seeing the relieved smiles on the doctors¡¯ faces, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart finally rxed.

    ¡°The mother and child¡¯s condition are temporarily stable. As for the follow-up and whether there are any side effects of the medicine, we have to wait for the subsequent examination.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    Jun Shiling followed the doctors and pushed Xia Wanyuan to the ICU.

    After the doctors left, Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao and An Rao. ¡°You guys go back too. I want to stay quietly for a while.¡±

    ¡°Alright, if you need anything, just call us.¡±

    Bo Xiao and An Rao left the ICU and the entire ward fell silent.

    Jun Shiling reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan. Feeling the warmth of her palm, Jun Shiling finally pursed his dry lips. ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯re fine.¡±

    That night, Jun Shiling focused on the oxygen mask on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    The oxygen mask was covered with ayer of white fog, then dissipated, and anotheryer appeared¡­

    Such a simple and boring action was a symbol of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s normal breathing.

    When the doctor came for a ward round the next morning, he confirmed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s condition was continuing to improve.

    ¡°CEO Jun, do you want to rest?¡± The nurses stood at the side, at a loss. They had been sent to take care of Xia Wanyuan, but they could not interfere at all. Jun Shiling had personally done everything for Xia Wanyuan and was quite professional and meticulous.

    ¡°No need.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°You guys can go down. I¡¯ll take care of her myself.¡±

    This carested for nearly a week.

    During this period, all of Jun Shiling¡¯s activities were in the ward. He did not look at documents or deal with work. He spent a lot of time talking to Xia Wanyuan every day, regardless of whether she could respond to him.

    Fortunately, Lin Jing was in charge of the Jun Corporation. In addition, Old Master had returned to thepany to help take care of it, so nothing bad happened.

    However, because of Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden disappearance, many guesses arose in the media.

    Something had happened to Xia Wanyuan first, and then Jun Shiling hadpletely disappeared. It could not help but make one think more.

    For nearly a week, the Jun Corporation was leaderless. This was inconceivable to outsiders.

    Many people discussed behind his back.

    Could it be that something had really happened to Xia Wanyuan? Jun Shiling did not even care about the Jun Corporation. Was the blow too great?

    Just as everyone was guessing, a message suddenly came from Beijing Hospital.

    Xia Wanyuan had be a vegetable. Jun Shiling had suffered too much and had already brought Xia Wanyuan abroad to recuperate.

 Chapter 1333 - Jiang Kui is Floating

    Chapter 1333: Jiang Kui is Floating

    At first, everyone was skeptical about this news.

    Although the video of Xia Wanyuan being implicated in the ident was very real, that was the Jun family. No one believed that Jun Shiling could not save Xia Wanyuan.

    However, slowly, this news became more and more real. Someone even obtained first-hand information from the nurses in Beijing Hospital.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect this.¡± Jiang Kui sat on the sofa and smoked smugly. ¡°I identally let you seed.¡±

    Initially, he had been a little guilty these few days. After all, they were Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. He was worried that his subordinates were not clean enough.

    From the looks of it, it was unintentional.

    ¡°Something happened to Xia Wanyuan. A heartless man like Jun Shiling will probably cry at home for a few years for a woman. Alright.¡± The more Jiang Kui thought about it, the happier he became. He even pped his hands.

    At this moment, Zou Man walked forward. Seeing Zou Man, Jiang Kui raised an eyebrow at her. ¡°How is it? Are you happy? I avenged Xia Wanyuan for you.¡±

    Zou Man nced at Jiang Kui indifferently and did not reply.

    ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. Are you mute?¡± Ever since the power of the Jiang family fell, Jiang Kui¡¯s temper had be stranger. Now, facing Zou Man and Liu Tanyu, he began to be violent for no reason.

    Zou Man¡¯s chin was red from Jiang Kui¡¯s grip. She sneered. ¡°You¡¯re so smug now. Aren¡¯t you afraid of hurting your waist?¡±

    In the past, Zou Man had also treated Jiang Kui as a good person. However, looking at the man in front of her now, Zou Man felt as if she did not know him anymore. The current Jiang Kui had already be another stranger.

    ¡°B*tch.¡± Jiang Kui grabbed Zou Man¡¯s chin tightly. ¡°Take your things and get out of the Jiang family now.¡±

    With that, Jiang Kui stood up and threw Zou Man to the ground. Zou Man was caught off guard and knocked her head on the corner of the table. Blood kept flowing out.

    At this moment, Liu Tanyu brought the child over and massaged Jiang Kui¡¯s legs gently. The three of them seemed to be one family, while Zou Man was like an extra person.

    Zou Man clenched her fists and went upstairs to pack her things before leaving.

    She had once entered the Jiang family for money and fortune, but when she really stepped in, she realized that money was nothing much.

    The butler quickly sent the divorce agreement over. Zou Man signed the agreement without hesitation, then carried her luggage and left the Jiang family without looking back.

    Feeling the sunlight on her face, Zou Man looked up at the blue sky. It was very simr to the sky she had seen when she first entered university.

    At that time, she saw the longing for the future in the sky. However, time passed and she did not know when it began, but she did not look at the blue sky above her again.

    Watching Zou Man leave, Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°She¡¯s pretending to be noble. I want to see what she can do without me, Jiang Kui.¡±

    Liu Tanyu fed Jiang Kui a grape. ¡°Then nothing will work, just like Xiao Yu and me. Without you, we don¡¯t know how to live.¡±

    When one was at a low point, people were most used to such adoring words.

    Jiang Kui nced at Liu Tanyu. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize you were so sensible in the past. Since Zou Man has already left, I¡¯ll find a chance to talk to Father about letting you in.¡±

    Liu Tanyu¡¯s eyes widened slightly in surprise. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Jiang Kui patted Xiao Yu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Xiao Yu is the legitimate grandson of our Jiang family. No matter how biased Father is towards Jiang Yun, he has to leave an asset for our Xiao Yu.¡±

    Liu Tanyu smiled at Jiang Kui and snuggled into his arms obediently.

    In a ce where Jiang Kui could not see, the corners of Liu Tanyu¡¯s lips curled up slightly.

    Just as the two of them were feeling warm, Jiang Kui¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Father Jiang.

    ¡°Father, why are you looking for me?¡±

    ¡°Come over immediately.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Father.¡± Hearing Father Jiang¡¯s order, Jiang Kui immediately stood up and packed his things.

    ¡°Hubby, is there anything on Father¡¯s side?¡± Liu Tanyu gently held Jiang Kui¡¯s hand, her gaze entangled Jiang Kui like a secret.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jiang Kui nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll go over and tell Father about us to seek his opinion.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll wait for you toe back.¡± Liu Tanyu smiled at Jiang Kui, making his heart itch.

    He kissed Liu Tanyu on the cheek and turned to leave.

    Half an hourter, Jiang Kui¡¯s car arrived at thepany.

    Walking into the meeting room and seeing that all the shareholders were present, Jiang Kui looked at Father Jiang in surprise.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?? Come, sit here.¡± Father Jiang waved at Jiang Kui.

    The seat Father Jiang pointed at was beside him. It was a seat that Jiang Yun had never sat in. Jiang Kui could not understand Father Jiang¡¯s intentions.

    He sat down hesitantly beside Father Jiang and looked at the shareholders in front of him.

    ¡°Everyone is here today.¡± Father Jiang began to speak. ¡°Please be witnesses together. My child is still young. If there¡¯s anything he doesn¡¯t understand in the future, please take care of him.¡±

    From the moment Father Jiang said the first word, Jiang Kui was a little stunned. Even after Father Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Kui still could not believe what he had heard.

    Could it be that Father wants me to be the sessor? But Jiang Yun¡­

    Before Jiang Kui could think, everyone had already begun to speak to him.

    After Jiang Kui chatted with all the shareholders, Father Jiang brought him into the office.

    Before Jiang Kui could speak, Father Jiang seemed to know what he was going to ask. ¡°Do you want to say why I didn¡¯t hand the Jiang family to Jiang Yun?¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s expression was a little unnatural as he nodded slightly. ¡°Father, you seem to think highly of Jiang Yun recently.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s capable, so I naturally think highly of her,¡± Father Jiang said as he walked forward and opened the safe in the office. ¡°But her ability is limited.¡±

    Jiang Kui clearly did not understand what Father Jiang meant. ¡°Then why, Father¡­¡±

    ¡°There are many capable people. These people can be used by you and be stepping stones for the Jiang family¡¯s sess. However, you¡¯re the only direct descendant of my Jiang family. The entire Jiang family is still yours.¡± Father Jiang patted Jiang Kui¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Now is a good opportunity for you to quickly gain a foothold in the corporation.¡±

    Father Jiang had already sent someone to investigate. Xia Wanyuan was indeed critically ill, and Jun Shiling¡¯s care day and night was useless.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan was paralyzed on the bed, Jun Shiling had no mood to manage the Jun Corporation.

    At this moment, he let Jiang Kui take over the Jiang family and take a dimensional attack on the leaderless Jun Corporation.

    To be able to severely injure Jun Shiling, just this matter could allow Jiang Kui to quickly stand firm. Father Jiang ced all his hopes on Jiang Kui.

    After hearing Father Jiang¡¯s exnation, Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Father, you¡¯re right.¡±

 Chapter 1334 - Idiot

    Chapter 1334: Idiot

    The day Jiang Kui took over the Jiang family, social news was flooded by him.

    As one of the top families in China, any change in the Jiang family was the focus of the world, let alone the change in the head of the Jiang family. Not only did it surprise all the families in the country, but theizens were also enthusiastically talking about it.

    On Weibo, the official Weibo ount quickly informed the public of this news. Simrly, his divorce agreement with Zou Man was disyed.

    [ Can I say something not too good? There¡¯s a saying in China that goes, ¡®Promotion, wealth and a dead wife¡¯¡­ Is Jiang Kui considered to have three happy events at the same time? ]

    [ Zou Man is so pitiful¡­ It was not easy for her to apany the crown prince until the end. Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, she has been abandoned herself. What immortal love? This immortal love is too shabby. ]

    [ Back then, the two of them were already very fake when they went on variety shows together. Now, can they finally not pretend anymore? Zou Man is so pitiful¡­ ]

    Just as theizens had said, Jiang Kui was now smug. After he became the sessor, he firstunched arge number of attacks on the Jun Corporation.

    Just like the information he had obtained, the Jun Corporation was leaderless. Although Lin Jing was barely holding on, under the full pressure of such a huge Jiang family corporation, they still retreated step by step.

    Over the past few days, the shares of the Jun Corporation had decreased and fallen into the lowest period in its history.

    All sorts of rumors in the country began to spread that Jiang Kui was about to take the opportunity to destroy the Jun family and lead the entire Jiang family to be the strongest family in China.

    Looking at Jiang Yun, who was packing up and preparing to leave, Jiang Kui smiled smugly. ¡°Sister, you didn¡¯t expect this, right? Are you preparing to be the sessor?¡±

    Jiang Yun turned around and nced at Jiang Kui. ¡°I know you¡¯re stupid, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so stupid.¡±

    Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Before Jiang Yun could speak, Father Jiang looked at the thing in her hand, his eyes filled with displeasure. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Jiang Kui asked me to leave.¡±

    Father Jiang looked at Jiang Kui reproachfully, then squeezed out a smile and walked to Jiang Yun¡¯s side. ¡°Yun¡¯er, there are still many things in thepany that can¡¯t do without you. You¡¯re the only person your brother can trust. If you leave, what will happen to your brother?¡±

    Jiang Yun sneered in her heart. ¡°Then what do you think I should do?¡±

    ¡°How about this? Stay and help your brother. As long as you don¡¯t mention leaving, the Jiang family¡¯s corporation will always open its doors to you. A family is closer than outsiders after all.¡±

    Jiang Yun could barely suppress the mockery in her heart. Open the door? Open the door and let me work for the Jiang family. Let me be Jiang Kui¡¯s stepping stone.

    This was a big family. As long as a man existed, no matter how outstanding a woman was, the final inheritance would fall into the hands of a man. The women in the family had to be a stepping stone for this man.

    Jiang Yun¡¯s expression was very calm. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll stay.¡±

    With that, Jiang Yun sat down again. Father Jiang pulled Jiang Kui outside. ¡°Who asked you to chase her away?? Don¡¯t you know your sister¡¯s work ability?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I know I was wrong.¡± Jiang Kui lowered his head.

    ¡°Although I handed the Jiang family to you, you still have to learn how to manage and use people.¡±

    Although Jiang Kui was unconvinced, he still nodded. ¡°Yes, I understand.¡±

    Father Jiang sighed and finally shook his head and left.

    Looking at Jiang Yun, who was working inside, Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain.

    What was the use of a woman with strong work ability? My foundation is still unstable. When my foundation is stable, no one could stop me.

    Jiang Kui was now an influential figure in the Beijing circle. Countless social events came knocking on his door. Soon, a dinner invitation was sent to Jiang Kui. Jiang Kui threw thepany¡¯s matters to the back of his mind and happily went to the appointment.

    In Beijing Hospital, Lin Jing was reporting the situation to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, our business has beenpletely controlled by Jiang Kui.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied as he wiped Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Continue.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After Lin Jing left, Xia Wanyuan, who was on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.

    ¡°Are you rested?¡± Jun Shiling turned around and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Do you want to lie down for a while more?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head gently.

    Two days ago, Xia Wanyuan had sessfully woken up. After all sorts of tests, the AS medicine sent from K waspletely normal. There were no abnormalities.

    Under the protection of strong medicine, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body gradually recovered. Now, she could already say a few simple words.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s slovenly appearance, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips moved slightly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°You¡¯re telling me nonsense.¡±

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. Her fingers curved slightly and hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s palm.

    Sensing this small action, for some reason, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart softened. The strength he had been holding on to for the past few days copsed in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s small action.

    He turned around and secretly wiped the tears from his eyes. After calming down, he turned around again. ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯re back.¡±

    The time he stayed in the operating theater and watched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart stop was probably a moment Jun Shiling would never want to recall.

    Xia Wanyuan blinked and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

    In the outside world,

    The Jiang Corporation was in the limelight for a while. They crazily annexed and bought over the Jun Corporation¡¯s businesses and even snatched all sorts of businesses from the Jun Corporation. Their momentum was strong.

    ¡°Master, CEO Jiang called again just now.¡± The butler walked into the courtyard and reported the situation to Lin Qingyuan.

    Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea, and disdain shed across his eyes. ¡°Idiot.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± For a moment, the butler did not know if Lin Qingyuan was scolding him or Jiang Kui. ¡°Then¡­¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer Jiang Kui¡¯s calls in the future. Such an idiot with a pig-like brain.¡± The usually elegant Lin Qingyuan rarely used vulgarities, yet he did this time.

 Chapter 1335 - The Mantis Catches the Cicada, Oriole Behind

    Chapter 1335: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, Oriole Behind

    ¡°Okay.¡± The butler bowed respectfully. ¡°I¡¯ll give the orders now.¡±

    The response he received from Lin Qingyuan was always that he was on a business trip. After many times, Jiang Kui muttered in his heart, ¡°Didn¡¯t the Lin family always want to ally with me? Why haven¡¯t they answered my calls?¡±

    Xuan Li nced at Jiang Kui from the side. ¡°CEO Jiang, the Lin family is the boss of the south. You¡¯re now the boss of the north. The king doesn¡¯t see the king. Even if you were allies in the past, I¡¯m afraid the Lin family¡¯s head hates you the most.¡±

    Xuan Li¡¯s words reminded Jiang Kui. He was enlightened. ¡°You¡¯re right. Then I shouldn¡¯t look for Lin Qingyuan anymore. It¡¯s embarrassing.¡±

    Xuan Li smiled and did not say anything.

    Jiang Kui was smug for a while before looking at Xuan Li. ¡°You contributed to this incident. I¡¯ll get someone to send you what I promised you.¡±

    ¡°Then thank you, CEO Jiang.¡± Having achieved his goal, Xuan Li stood up. ¡°If you need my help in the future, just ask.¡±

    Jiang Kui waved his hand indifferently. ¡°Alright, leave.¡±

    Time gradually passed. The official exchange meeting would not stop because one or two people were absent.

    However, theck of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling in this exchange made Jiang Kui stand out.

    He was active among the major factions and had already treated himself as the core of China.

    Social media at home and abroad focused the camera on Jiang Kui. The tide of news reports pushed Jiang Kui to the world stage.

    Even the entertainment industry, which had never paid much attention to the changes in the business circle, sensed how strong Jiang Kui¡¯s wind was. [Why do I feel that he used a little too much strength¡­ The Jun family hasn¡¯tpletely left the market, right? Why does Jiang Kui look so impatient?]

    [After all, Jun Shiling will always be someone else¡¯s child. Under such a shadow for a long time, Jiang Kui¡¯s mentality will probably be problematic¡­]

    [ So something really happened to Xia Wanyuan. ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s usual style, how could he let Jiang Kui be so arrogant? ]

    The news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ident appeared more often in the news media. The fans who once had hope gradually became silent as the Jun Corporation retreated.

    In fact, in many ces, the fans had already begun to silently mourn Xia Wanyuan.

    The shares of the Jun Corporation continued to fall and fell to the lowest price in the market. In stark contrast, the shares of the Jiang Corporation rose.

    Under such circumstances, a hundred billion project suddenly looked for Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui was in the vi when he received the project book. He was about to take a closer look at the project when Liu Tanyu kept acting coquettishly at him.

    No one could reject such gentleness. Jiang Kui¡¯s passion grew with Liu Tanyu and threw the project book aside.

    ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re already so amazing. Who would dare to fool you?¡± Liu Tanyu looked at Jiang Kui in admiration. ¡°Isn¡¯t such a small project easy in your hands?¡±

    Because of Liu Tanyu¡¯s ttery, Jiang Kui felt a little smug. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not reading anymore. Let¡¯s go upstairs.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Liu Tanyu held Jiang Kui¡¯s arm and went upstairs.

    Things had been too smooth recently, so Jiang Kui drank a few more sses with Liu Tanyu in his joy.

    After drinking the wine, Jiang Kui was a little drunk. At that moment, his assistant called.

    Liu Tanyu handed the phone to Jiang Kui. ¡°Hubby, your assistant asked if you¡¯ve signed the contract.¡±

    ¡°What contract?¡±

    Liu Tanyu took a document from the table. ¡°It¡¯s this project. Didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s nothing to worry about for a small project? Can you sign it now?¡±

    Jiang Kui was extremely drunk. He took the contract and took a look. ¡°Oh, this is it. There¡¯s nothing to consider. Sign it directly.¡±

    Previously, when the two of them were talking, Liu Tanyu had muted the phone. However, when Jiang Kui said this, Liu Tanyu let go of the silence. The assistant clearly heard Jiang Kui¡¯s words.

    With that, Jiang Kui took the pen from Liu Tanyu and signed it.

    Liu Tanyu hung up the phone and put away the contract, then made a call.

    ¡°Yes, Special Assistant Lin. It¡¯s all done.¡±

 Chapter 1336 - Karma

    Chapter 1336: Karma

    ¡°Mm, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not hard.¡± Liu Tanyu looked at Jiang Kui, who was lying drunk not far away, her eyes filled with hatred. ¡°I should thank you for giving me this opportunity.¡±

    Hearing Liu Tanyu¡¯s voice, even Lin Jing felt a little ufortable.

    ¡°After this matter ispleted, we¡¯ll send you back to your hometown. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you don¡¯t want anyone to find you, we won¡¯t let anyone find you.¡±

    Tears welled up in Liu Tanyu¡¯s eyes. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±

    After hanging up, Liu Tanyu sat on the sofa and looked at Jiang Kui quietly. Her palm was gradually scratched by her nails, but she did not seem to notice.

    Xiao Yu secretly poked his head out of the bedroom. Seeing Liu Tanyu¡¯s sad expression, Xiao Yu walked towards her. ¡°Mommy.¡±

    Liu Tanyu smiled at Xiao Yu. ¡°Good child, we can go back soon.¡±

    Xiao Yu reached out to wipe Liu Tanyu¡¯s tears and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Liu Tanyu gently stroked Xiao Yu¡¯s side profile. Through him, she seemed to see the man who always had a smile.

    Jiang Kui was an impatient person and in business as well. Sometimes, if he did not reach the expected profit goal, Jiang Kui would use some special channels to obtain huge profits. This would involve many illegal processes.

    Liu Tanyu¡¯s fianc¨¦ was originally just an ordinary police officer, but during a routine inspection, he discovered something fishy about the Jiang Corporation¡¯s transportation line.

    He reported ording to his duty. Who would have thought that his superior had long colluded with Jiang Kui? As his superiorforted her fianc¨¦, he found an opportunity to lure him into the mountains andpletely silence him.

    To people like Jiang Kui, who stood at the peak of power, a life was just a simple sentence and tens of thousands ofpensation.

    However, to Liu Tanyu and the rest, the disappearance of the pir of the family was the pain of the three families for the rest of their lives.

    By chance, Liu Tanyu looked for Lin Jing.

    A rural girl who had never been to school had taken her child through more than three years of training and made herself into her current flirtatious appearance.

    Everything she did was to avenge her fianc¨¦, who had died an innocent death.

    Jiang Kui might have treated many people as opponents, Jun Shiling, Lin Qingyuan, and Xia Wanyuan, but he would never have thought that one day, the person who could make him expose his greatest mistake might be the most ordinary and normal country girl.

    Jiang Kui woke up after sleeping for a while. Liu Tanyu was sitting beside him massaging him. There was a gentle charm in her lowered eyes.

    Jiang Kui held Liu Tanyu¡¯s arm. ¡°Honey, did someone call me just now?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Liu Tanyu took the towel and gently wiped Jiang Kui¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s your assistant. He seems to be talking to you about some project. You told him that there¡¯s no problem and even signed for the butler to send it out.¡±

    Jiang Kui frowned, clearly unable to remember what had just happened. ¡°Project?¡±

    Could it be that big project?

    Jiang Kui pinched the space between his eyebrows. ¡°That project can¡¯t be settled so quickly.¡±

    A hundred billion starting funds was a rather important core project. If anything happened, the Jiang family would be in big trouble.

    However, it was toote for him to go back on his word. He had slept for almost three hours. Two hours ago, his assistant had already sent the document with his name to the board of directors. Now, all sorts of starting procedures had already begun.

    In Beijing Hospital, Jun Shiling was very calm when he received the news from Lin Jing.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look. ¡°Jiang Kui?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded, his eyes cold.

    The mastermind of this ident was Jiang Kui. He had injured Xia Wanyuan so badly, and Jun Shiling had given a death order. This time, he wanted to send Jiang Kuipletely to prison and never be able to turn things around.

    Xia Wanyuan blinked. ¡°Where¡¯s Xuan Sheng? How¡¯s he doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. ¡°The situation isn¡¯t very good.¡±

 Chapter 1337 - Obsession; Breaking Words

    Chapter 1337: Obsession; Breaking Words

    When the explosion happened, Xuan Sheng was in the center of the explosion. Xia Wanyuan was only affected by the aftershock and was already so seriously injured, let alone Xuan Sheng, who was in the middle.

    When they carried Xuan Sheng out of the scene, his flesh and blood were already blurry. His side had taken even longer than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surgery.

    After the AS medicine arrived, Jun Shiling gave half to Xia Wanyuan and sent the other half to Xuan Sheng¡¯s operating theater.

    With this life-saving medicine, Xuan Sheng survived. However, until now, Xuan Sheng was still unconscious and showed no signs of waking up.

    Xia Wanyuan blinked. Jun Shiling understood what she meant. ¡°You can¡¯t move yet. You can¡¯t visit him now. When you feel better, I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded gently.

    Unlike Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, which was surrounded by all sorts of family and friends, the front of Xuan Sheng¡¯s ward on the third floor was cold and cheerless. Only Lu Li was walking around outside.

    The doctor brought the nurse to do a ward round. When he saw Lu Li, he was a little surprised. ¡°Youngdy, why aren¡¯t you waiting inside?¡±

    Lu Li looked at the doctor carefully. ¡°Will I disturb him?¡±

    The doctor shook his head. ¡°Of course not. Although the patient is unconscious, his hearing is still sensitive. If you can talk to him enough, you might be able to wake him up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Li nodded heavily. After putting on the protective suit, she followed the doctor into the ward.

    Xuan Sheng was injured by the explosion in the entire capital. At this moment, only his eyes were not wrapped in gauze. Seeing him like this, Lu Li¡¯s eyes instantly turned red.

    After the doctor finished his examination, he left Lu Li in the ward. Lu Li sat by the bed and whispered to Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, I just went downstairs to visit Sister Xia. She¡¯s recovering quite well. She¡¯s very concerned about your condition. When will you recover?¡­¡±

    The doctor had just said that the patient¡¯s hearing was reactive. Lu Li chatted with Xuan Sheng non-stop and repeated all the topics. When she did not know what to say, she would sing for Xuan Sheng.

    Later on, as time passed, Lu Li realized that when she mentioned Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng¡¯s ECG would always fluctuate.

    She was now Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personal assistant and often followed her. Hence, she picked out all sorts of small details of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s life and told Xuan Sheng.

    She said that Xia Wanyuan liked to drink iced Americano, liked to eat ice cream when the weather was hot, liked to eat pork and not beef¡­

    The Xia Wanyuan Lu Li was talking about was a side that Xuan Sheng would never see.

    The more Lu Li spoke, the more Xuan Sheng¡¯s ECG fluctuated. Lu Li was encouraged and turned on the television in the room to show Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movie.

    In a ce that no one had noticed, Xuan Sheng¡¯s little finger trembled slightly. The arc was extremely small, so small that no one noticed it.

    Downstairs, Xia Yu paced around the door of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ward. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan could talk to Jun Shiling normally, the worry in his heart finally dissipated.

    He stood outside the door for a while, then closed the ward door and walked to the other side of the hospital.

    However, just as he entered the ward, Xia Yu realized that something was wrong. The bed was empty, and the nket was folded neatly. He strode in and saw a letter neatly ced on the folded nket.

    Xia Yu opened it and his expression changed.

    The envelope contained the divorce agreement signed by Lin Yi and a very short letter.

    ¡°Thank you. Goodbye. I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to look for me.¡±

    Xia Yu called Lin Yi, but no matter how many times he called, the other party could not get through.

    At this moment, in the Beijing airport, a ne was cutting through the blue sky and heading towards Continent F.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Beijing Hotel, Su Yao was sitting by the window, staring nkly at the ne outside.

    Chu Yi sat on the sofa at the back and dealt with work. asionally, he would look up at Su Yao and see the obvious loneliness on her. Chu Yi frowned slightly. He was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

    It was a call from the old residence in Continent F. ¡°Young Master, our people cracked some of the words in the coffin.¡±

    Chu Yi sat up straight. ¡°Say, wait a minute. I¡¯ll go back now and talk when I get back. It¡¯s not safe on the phone.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Chapter 1338: Jade Pendant

    After hanging up, Chu Yi stood up to pack his things and leave.

    Sensing the movement behind her, Su Yao turned around. ¡°Are you leaving?¡±

    ¡°Pack up too ande back with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    As Su Yao spoke, she was about to get up. However, just as she moved, she sensed that something was wrong not far away. Something shed in her eyes.

    As someone who had received all sorts of anti-tracking training since she was young, Su Yao immediately realized that something was wrong.

    At this moment, gunshots sounded in the distance.

    Before Su Yao could react, her body had already blocked Chu Yi.

    Chu Yi suddenly looked up and saw Su Yao¡¯s bloody chest after being pierced by a bullet.

    Chu Yi pulled Su Yao over and brought her to the ground.

    At that moment, the secret guards beside Chu Yi rushed in and surrounded the window.

    Looking at Su Yao with her eyes closed, a rare hint of panic appeared in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Send her to the hospital!!¡±

    In order to do his best to treat Su Yao, other than Chu Yi¡¯s doctor, the expert group from Beijing Hospital was also sent to the operating theater.

    Fortunately, Su Yao was sent in time and her life was not in danger.

    ¡°Young Master Chu, although Miss Su¡¯s life is not in danger, her wound is very deep after all. It¡¯s best not to rush back and forth for the time being. I suggest she recuperates,¡± Shen Xiu instructed Chu Yi.

    ¡°I understand. Doctor Shen, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    After all the doctors left the ward, Chu Yi looked at the bed quietly for a while before getting someone to call his personal doctor in.

    ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Miss Su¡¯s blood type and various body parameters are different from Miss Feng¡¯s.¡± As the doctor spoke, Chu Yi¡¯s expression darkened visibly. ¡°There¡¯s only one old injury on Miss Su¡¯s body. Take a look at this.¡±

    The doctor handed a light tablet to Chu Yi. From the light tablet, one could clearly see a shallow mark on Su Yao¡¯s right ankle bone. It looked like a wound from many years ago.

    Chu Yi¡¯s eyes suddenly darkened. ¡°Other than here, is there nowhere else?? Nothing on her left shoulder?!¡±

    The doctor shook his head. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I understand. Go down.¡± Chu Yi waved his hand. After the doctor left, he looked at the light film in his hand for a long time, his eyes dark.

    At this moment, downstairs, Shen Xiu was reporting the situation to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°As you expected, Chu Yi indeed got his doctor to do a full checkup on Miss Su. We already changed Su Yao¡¯s report.¡±

    ¡°Did you find anything else on Su Yao?¡±

    ¡°From all the signs, Su Yao is Feng Wuyou. Furthermore, we discovered that there seems to be half a very small jade pendant on Su Yao¡¯s back. That jade pendant should have been imnted since she was born and has already fused with the surrounding flesh and blood.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let Chu Yi find out.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After Shen Xiu reported his work, he left the ward. Thinking of his words just now, Xia Wanyuan was puzzled.

    Jade pendant?

    She looked at Jun Shiling, who was also thinking. His eyes were dark, and he clearly did not understand what was going on with Su Yao.

    Just as the ward was silent, amotion suddenly came from outside.

    The secret guard walked in. ¡°CEO Jun, the young master of the Jiang family is here. He knows that you haven¡¯t left China and wants to barge into the hospital with his men. He said that he¡¯s here to visit Madam.¡±

 Chapter 1339 - Collecting the Net

    Chapter 1339: Collecting the Net

    In the past two days, ording to Jun Shiling¡¯s instructions, Lin Jing had the Jun Corporation continue to act conservatively.

    The Jun Corporation had always been domineering to the outside world. When had there been such a phenomenon of retreating and not retaliating?

    Some people in the Jiang Corporation felt that something was wrong and wanted to remind Jiang Kui, but these people who reminded Jiang Kui happened to be those who were usually closer to Jiang Yun.

    Regarding their suggestion, Jiang Kui only felt that Jiang Yun knew that the Jun Corporation was about to lose and did not want to see him so smug, so she sent someone to disrupt his n.

    The more Jiang Yun¡¯s people persuaded him, the more Jiang Kui felt that his work was going smoothly and that the various projects were advancing faster.

    As he had expected, not only did the Jun Corporation not resist, but they even vaguely had the intention of giving up the overseas market.

    At this moment, Jiang Kui learned that Jun Shiling had not left China.

    He could not wait to see how the former CEO Jun had be his defeated opponent. Ignoring everyone¡¯s objections, Jiang Kui rushed straight towards Beijing Hospital.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Jun Shiling?¡± Jiang Kui looked in smugly. ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s hiding and doesn¡¯t dare to see me?¡±

    Facing Jiang Kui¡¯s provocation, Lin Jing was calm. ¡°Our CEO Jun is busy. CEO Jiang, if there¡¯s anything, you can tell me first. I¡¯ll tell CEO Jun.¡±

    Looking at Lin Jing¡¯s calm expression, Jiang Kui suddenly leaned closer. ¡°Special Assistant Lin, your name is like thunder in my ears. As long as you¡¯re willing toe to my Jiang family, I¡¯m willing to pay double the price Jun Shiling offered you.¡±

    Lin Jing nced at Jiang Kui. ¡°Even if CEO Jun doesn¡¯t give me money, I¡¯ll always serve him in the Jun Corporation.¡±

    Jiang Kui frowned. ¡°What benefits did he give you to make you so loyal to him?¡±

    As Jiang Kui had said, Lin Jing was quite famous in the entire business world. He was extremely capable and loyal to Jun Shiling. Countless people could not poach him even if they wanted to.

    Seeing that Lin Jing was stubborn, Jiang Kui sneered. ¡°Then follow him to the streets to beg for food. I want to see if you¡¯ll still be as loyal as before if Jun Shiling loses the Jun Corporation.¡±

    ¡°Then you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    Jiang Kui stopped talking to Lin Jing and barged into the hospital with his men. ¡°I heard that Madam Jun is recuperating here. I shoulde and take a look.¡±

    Lin Jing did not stop them. Jiang Kui and the bodyguard rushed in. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ward was not far away, Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had been pressing on his head for so long. He could not wait to see how the two of them would look after being attacked.

    At that moment, the ward door opened and Jun Shiling walked out.

    The Jun Corporation had clearly lost to him and Jun Shiling was nothing to be afraid of in front of him. However, the moment he saw Jun Shiling, he still felt a sense of fear.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Jun Shiling slowly walked towards Jiang Kui.

    Jiang Kui forced himself to calm down. ¡°I just came to see Miss Xia.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s resting.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Kui¡¯s eyes revealed obvious mockery. ¡°I wonder if she¡¯s resting or unconscious?? I know some masters who do good rituals. I wonder if CEO Jun needs it?¡±

    Jun Shiling shook his head indifferently at Jiang Kui¡¯s provocation. ¡°Instead of worrying about me, CEO Jiang, you might as well worry about yourself.¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Jiang Kui clicked his tongue. ¡°CEO Jun, don¡¯t tell me you still think of yourself as the high and mighty head of the Jun family?? I¡¯m afraid your mind isn¡¯t clear from taking care of women. Now, in the big families in China, the person who can control the situation is me, Jiang Kui!¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Jun Shiling replied calmly.

    Jiang Kui was originally here to see Jun Shiling make a fool of himself, but no matter how he provoked Jun Shiling, he looked calm andposed, making him look like a joke. Jiang Kui frowned and was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang urgently.

    ¡°What?!¡± The other party had just said a few words when Jiang Kui¡¯s expression changed. He hung up and red at Jun Shiling. ¡°I have something on now. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±

    Jiang Kui was arrogant when he arrived and left in a hurry.

    After Jiang Kui¡¯s back disappeared around the corner, Jun Shiling turned around slightly and looked at Lin Jing. ¡°Rein the in.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

 Chapter 1340 - Jiang Kui Caught

    Chapter 1340: Jiang Kui Caught

    As Jiang Kui walked out, his phone kept ringing.

    After Jiang Kui took a few, his expression had alreadypletely darkened. ¡°You bunch of trash!! You can¡¯t even do these things well!!¡±

    ¡°CEO Jiang, most of the investors who had agreed to cooperate have gone back on their word. We¡¯ve invested too many projects recently and can¡¯t support them anymore.¡±

    In fact, the assistant wanted to say that Jiang Kui had been too high-profile recently. Now that there was a problem, there were many people who added insult to injury, causing the already bad situation to be even worse.

    ¡°Wait for me to go over!¡±

    Half an hourter, Jiang Kui arrived at thepany. In this half an hour, the situation had been deteriorating rapidly.

    Jiang Kui¡¯s projects during this period of time had been too weak. Now that there were problems, the projects fell like dominoes.

    ¡°What about the oil project we cooperated with abroad?¡± Jiang Kui did not even look at the mountain of documents in front of him. What he was most concerned about was the hundred billion project that had just been signed.

    ¡°CEO Jiang.¡± The assistant¡¯s expression was quite ugly. ¡°Something happened. Thepany we¡¯re working with is a paperpany. They forged all sorts of documents. Now, thepany is an empty shell. Our funds are tied up.¡±

    Jiang Kui¡¯s face immediately turned purple. ¡°Contact the bank first¡­¡±

    Before Jiang Kui could finish speaking, the assistant received a call. After hanging up, the assistant¡¯s face turned pale. He looked at Jiang Kui in shock. ¡°CEO Jiang, we were deceived by Jun Shiling.¡±

    Jiang Kui had a bad feeling. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with the Jun Corporation at all. They only did it on purpose a while ago. Now that there¡¯s a problem with our funds, the Jun Corporation is fighting back. CEO Jiang?!¡±

    Halfway through the assistant¡¯s sentence, Jiang Kui had already copsed on the seat. ¡°Damn Jun Shiling!!!¡±

    I should have thought that Jun Shiling was such a cunning person. How could he be defeated so easily?!

    ¡°Gather the people quickly. I have a meeting.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± the assistant replied as he walked out. He had just reached the door when it was opened from the outside and a team of police walked in.

    ¡°You are?¡±

    The police unfolded an arrest warrant in front of his assistant. ¡°Jiang Kui is suspected of breaking thew. We¡¯ll arrest him ording to thew.¡±

    With that, the police forcefully handcuffed Jiang Kui.

    ¡°How dare you!!¡± Jiang Kui wanted to break free from the handcuffs angrily, but he was forcefully suppressed by the police.

    ¡°Do you know who I am?! How dare you arrest me?! Just you wait!!¡± Jiang Kui was brought downstairs by the police. Along the way, he passed by the office area. Seeing that Jiang Kui had been arrested, the employees were shocked.

    Soon, the news of Jiang Kui being arrested by the police spread throughout social media.

    [The reversal in the past few days has stunned me. Wasn¡¯t Jiang Kui representing China at the exchange a few days ago?? Why was he captured?]

    [I heard from my rtives in Beijing that the Jiang family has a corrupted foundation in doing business. Someone from a big family like Jiang Kui must have something dirty on his hands. It¡¯s just that no one investigated in the past.]

    [ F*ck, how can what the young master of the Jiang family did be considered a matter? He¡¯ll probably be released after drinking three sses of wine as a punishment. ]

    However, things were not as simple as theizens had imagined. After Jiang Kui was brought to the police station, the police brought people to interrogate him overnight.

    Jiang Kui originally wanted to deny it and wait for the Jiang family¡¯swyers to save him.

    However, after staying in the interrogation room for two minutes, Jiang Kui¡¯s psychological defense copsed.

    ¡°I received a report that you were involved in smuggling five years ago.¡±

    ¡°I received a report that you colluded with the officials three years ago and illegally won a bid, as well as all sorts of bribery.¡±

    ¡°I received a report that four years ago, you instructed someone to transport an unapproved batch of raw materials. During this period, because you were discovered by an unrted police officer, you gave the order to silence him¡­¡±

    The police read out what Jiang Kui had done one by one. What made Jiang Kui copse even more was that the police actually had a full set of evidence!

    ¡°Jun Shiling asked you to do this, right?!¡± Jiang Kui could not defend himself and wentpletely crazy. The handcuffs on his wrists shook loudly. His eyes were red as he looked at the police officers angrily. ¡°No matter what you say, I didn¡¯t do it!!¡±

    Even in the face of mountainous evidence, Jiang Kui refused to admit it. He knew very well what was going on. He knew that as long as he waited for thewyers to help him, he would definitely be able to sessfully escape.

    As he had expected, from the moment he entered the police station, Father Jiang had sent someone to hire the bestwyers in the world to fight thewsuit for Jiang Kui.

    The first step was for everyone to destroy the police¡¯s authority in the public and pressure the police.

    Hence, that night, all sorts of rumors spread. Thewyers deliberately weakened Jiang Kui¡¯s capture into a family fight and the police station was used.

    This way, Jiang Kui¡¯s crimes faded in everyone¡¯s hearts and became a dispute between two families. It was a grudge between rich families.

    At the same time, thewyers had also found many people to anonymously report online that the police station Jiang Kui was in was Jun Shiling¡¯s private hall. Jiang Kui received a personal threat the moment he entered.

    The perfect exnation made by a group of elitewyers naturally frightened the people who did not know the truth.

    Everyone saw that even someone as powerful as Jiang Kui was being bullied. If ordinary people like them went in, wouldn¡¯t they lose their lives?!

    Instantly, many people began to speak up for Jiang Kui. Many people called the police to report him.

    The police station was already very busy, and now, they had to answer all sorts of insults and calls. Some police officers could not withstand the psychological pressure, and the atmosphere in the entire area was a little gloomy.

    Thewyers took advantage of this time to frantically help Jiang Kui collect whitewashed evidence and even asked to bail him out.

    After the operation of thewyers, Jiang Kui would be able toe out immediately.

    At this moment, a user registered as ¡°Liu Yanping¡± posted a Weibo post.

    ¡°Hello, everyone. Four years ago, my name was Liu Yanping. Now, my name is Liu Tanyu.¡±

 Chapter 1341 - Untitled

    Chapter 1341: Untitled

    Seeing the words Liu Tanyu, theizens¡¯ gossip radar was activated.

    Ever since Zou Man and Jiang Kui announced their divorce, there had been endless gossip about Jiang Kui on various forums.

    Jiang Kui usually did not avoid bringing Liu Tanyu along when he participated in events. The name Liu Tanyu was not unfamiliar in the Beijing circle.

    The news gradually spread. Theizens were gossiping about Liu Tanyu and Jiang Kui¡¯s extramarital rtionship.

    At this moment, Liu Tanyu stood up and everyone ran over to watch themotion.

    In order to make it easier to exin, Liu Tanyu carried Xiao Yu and opened a live-stream on Weibo.

    ¡°I¡¯m doing a live broadcast here today to tell you how dirty a soul is hidden under Jiang Kui¡¯s morous appearance.

    My husband and I were childhood sweethearts¡­

    Not only did he use illegal means to profit, but he also wantonly harmed everyone who stopped his career. Because he was jealous that his sister was stronger than him, he sent someone to shoot his sister at her sister¡¯s wedding.

    In fact, he was the mastermind behind Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injury¡­¡±

    Liu Tanyu hugged the child and revealed what Jiang Kui had done word by word.

    As she exined, she cried when she thought of her husband, who was already buried on Qingshan. The audience, who were watching themotion, were infected by her emotions.

    [ How tragic¡­ If what you said is true, then Jiang Kui¡¯s death ten thousand times is really not enough. Think about how many ordinary families he can destroy with a casual sentence. ]

    [F*ck, did Jiang Kui really do that to my goddess?? I even want to kill Jiang Kui.]

    [I now have reason to suspect that all the rumors of the police abusing him and extorting confessions from him are fabricated by hiswyers.]

    ¡°I¡¯ve collected a lot of evidence while I was by his side. I¡¯ve already submitted it all to the police. Thank you for your attention.¡±

    After saying everything, Liu Tanyu closed the live-stream. She looked at the luggage at the side and nodded at Lin Jing. ¡°Thank CEO Jun for me.¡±

    ¡°Someone will protect you and send you back. There¡¯s five million yuan on this card. It can support you and your son until Xiao Yu bes an adult. Take care,¡± Lin Jing said as he handed a card to Liu Tanyu.

    Liu Tanyu took the card and could not help but tear up.

    When her husband died, her sky had copsed. Now that she had finally helped her husband take revenge, her future mission was to raise Xiao Yu well.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Jing gestured for the bodyguard to help Liu Tanyu carry her luggage.

    Liu Tanyu pulled the child and bowed to Lin Jing before leaving without looking back.

    This prosperous city did not belong to her to begin with. Now that her mission waspleted, it was time to leave.

    Because of Liu Tanyu¡¯s appearance, everything that the elitewyers had painstakingly built was shattered. Public opinion rebounded, and the Jiang family was in a desperate situation.

    ¡°Yun¡¯er.¡± Father Jiang found Jiang Yun. ¡°In the end, our Jiang family will still rely on your younger brother to inherit it. You have a lot of connections. You must save Jiang Kui for me.¡±

    Although Father Jiang was begging Jiang Yun, he looked down on her from above.

    The corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Father, can only men inherit thepany?¡±

    Father Jiang frowned. ¡°Of course. What can a woman do? Don¡¯t tell me you have some new thoughts after seeing Jiang Kui in trouble? Let me tell you, that¡¯s impossible. The Jiang family can only let men inherit it.¡±

    Jiang Yun sneered. ¡°Then go and find a man to settle it.¡±

 Chapter 1342 - 42: Jiang Kuiâ€™s Ending

    Chapter 1342: Jiang Kui¡¯s Ending

    When had Father Jiang ever been contradicted by his children like this? He was immediately furious. He raised his hand to hit Jiang Yun, but he stopped when he saw the emotions in Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes.

    Jiang Yun raised her chin slightly, her eyes filled with stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.

    He recalled the scene of him sending Jiang Yun to Continent M alone many years ago. At that time, Jiang Yun was not even ten years old. She cried and looked up to beg him not to send her away.

    At that time, her eyes had the same look.

    Father Jiang put down his arm and sighed softly. ¡°I know you hate me.¡±

    Jiang Yun¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°I had no choice but to send you over back then.¡± Father Jiang had been running around for Jiang Kui these few days and looked much older. ¡°I know that you¡¯ve suffered more than Jiang Kui over the years, but¡­¡±

    ¡°But he¡¯s a man.¡± Jiang Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with mockery. ¡°Because he¡¯s the hope of the family, right? I¡¯m a woman, so I should always be the one to be abandoned. There¡¯s no need to say this. I knew it long ago.¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Father Jiang sighed. ¡°Take it that I¡¯m begging you. No matter what, Jiang Kui is your family. Are you going to watch him die??¡±

    ¡°Father.¡± Although she had already mentally prepared herself many times, Jiang Yun felt ridiculous and sad when she saw Father Jiang begging her. ¡°Then do you know that when I got married, Jiang Kui was going to get someone to kill me?¡±

    Father Jiang was silent.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about it anymore.¡± Jiang Yun took a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯ll think of a way to keep Jiang Kui alive. As for the rest, I¡¯m helpless.¡±

    With that, Jiang Yun picked up her bag and left.

    In the car outside the door, Lin Qingdai was waiting for her.

    Jiang Yun got into the car, still feeling indignant. Lin Qingdai patted his shoulder. ¡°Lie down for a while.¡±

    Just as Father Jiang finished talking to Jiang Yun, his subordinate brought a bolt from the blue.

    Many projects that Jiang Kui had invested in hadpletely failed. Only then did Father Jiang know that Jiang Kui had used arge amount of funds from thepany¡¯s headquarters behind his back.

    Now, not only was there a problem with Jiang Kui¡¯s project, but the Jiang family¡¯s core business was also affected. It was on the verge of copse.

    When Father Jiang received the news, he immediately rushed to thepany. However, halfway there, his assistant called. ¡°CEO Jiang, you don¡¯t have toe over. It¡¯spletely copsed now.¡±

    It was at a point where no one going over could save.

    Father Jiang turned on his phone with trembling hands. The first thing that popped up was the news of the Jiang Corporation going bankrupt.

    As one of the top families in China, countless people were waiting covetously for the Jiang family to fall so that they could go forward and share the food.

    Now that the Jiang family had really fallen, there was no buffer. Everyone rushed forward and divided the Jiang family¡¯s various businesses cleanly.

    In the prison, Jiang Kui was still quite stubborn. ¡°Anyway, my legal team ising soon. Just wait. When I get out, see how I deal with you.¡±

    At this moment, the captain walked in. ¡°Put a newspaper in front of Jiang Kui. CEO Jiang, I advise you to confess early. I don¡¯t think you can dream of leaving. The Jiang family probably doesn¡¯t have the money to hire an elitewyer for you now.¡±

    Jiang Kui nced at the newspaper and his expression changed. ¡°Impossible!!!¡±

    How could the Jiang family fall?!

    ¡°You lied to me!!¡±

    Seeing that Jiang Kui did not believe them, everyone specially turned on the television. Now, social media was reporting about the Jiang family. The words ¡°fall of the Jiang family¡± could be seen everywhere.

    Jiang Kui was deeply shocked and fainted on the spot.

 Chapter 1343 - Fall of the Jiang Family

    Chapter 1343: Fall of the Jiang Family

    The staff sshed a bottle of water on Jiang Kui¡¯s face. ¡°Wake up. Running away won¡¯t solve the problem. If you don¡¯t exin everything clearly, I won¡¯t let you live in peace today.¡±

    Jiang Kui was woken up by the water. On the television in front, the reporters were surrounding Father Jiang and asking all sorts of questions.

    Jiang Kui looked at Father Jiang in a daze. The former head of the Jiang family, who was in high spirits, seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

    ¡°I want to see my father!!¡± Jiang Kui suddenly stood up and ran out the door crazily.

    ¡°Stop.¡± The gun was pressed against the back of his head. ¡°If you move again, you¡¯ll be charged with assault.¡±

    Jiang Kui wanted to say something, but he suddenly realized that he was no longer the high and mighty young master of the Jiang family.

    He looked back at the iron window and suddenly felt an unprecedented panic.

    If the Jiang family fell, who could save me? Could it be that I would be locked up in this ce for the rest of my life??

    To the power division in China, the fall of the Jiang family was a far-reaching event. However, to the ordinary people, the fall of the Jiang family was just an additional topic of conversation. After sighing, it was fine.

    [ You didn¡¯t expect this, right¡­ A few days ago, everyone was still pitying Zou Man. Now, Zou Man is really lucky to have avoided a cmity. ]

    [ This means that one can¡¯t be too arrogant. Look at how glorious Jiang Kui was a few days ago. Compared to now, it¡¯s too tragic¡­ With what Liu Tanyu revealed, Jiang Kui will probably be imprisoned for the rest of his life. ]

    [ How is Jiang Kui arrogant? He clearly brought it on himself, okay? ? ? ? ? I fully suspect that CEO Jun was behind the Jiang family¡¯s downfall this time. Jiang Kui actually dared to attack Xia Wanyuan. He¡¯s simply courting death. ]

    No matter how intense the discussion was, to theizens, Jiang Kui was thrown to the back of their minds in the time it took for a meal.

    What everyone was most concerned about was actually how Xia Wanyuan¡¯s injuries were.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ident, there had been no news. All sorts of rumors flew in the outside world.

    In the hospital, Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the head of the bed. Jun Shiling was feeding Xia Wanyuan medicine bit by bit with a spoon.

    ¡°It¡¯s so bitter.¡± After drinking more than half of it, Xia Wanyuan really could not drink anymore.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s face was cold as he leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the lips. ¡°It¡¯s not bitter anymore. Continue drinking.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could not help butugh. ¡°How can you be like this?¡±

    Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan a spoonful of medicine. ¡°Take your medicine properly and be obedient.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and bit down. ¡°Can I eat normally? I don¡¯t want to eat nutrient solution anymore.¡±

    Because her stomach had been cut, Xia Wanyuan had not eaten normal food since she woke up. She relied on nutrient solutions to survive.

    As time passed, she could not take it anymore.

    Jun Shiling ced the spoon in his bowl and nced at Xia Wanyuan quietly. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±

    Knowing that Jun Shiling would not agree, Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate anymore. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so serious. Can you smile?¡±

    Jun Shiling was very helpless towards Xia Wanyuan. The corners of his lips twitched. ¡°You only know how to mess around.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°CEO Jun, when I was unconscious, I seemed to have returned to ancient times. I seemed to have seen my younger brother and many others.¡±

    Jun Shiling paused. ¡°How did youe back??¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Do you think I might return to ancient times in the future??¡±

    ¡°Nonsense!¡±

    Chapter 1344: Not Allowed to Leave

    Jun Shiling¡¯s voice suddenly became louder, and his entire expression looked wrong, scaring Xia Wanyuan. She looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was gloomy. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had only mentioned this unintentionally. She did not expect Jun Shiling to have such a huge reaction.

    ¡°I¡¯m not saying I¡¯ll go back. I¡¯m just guessing¡­¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to guess.¡± Jun Shiling looked straight into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go anywhere.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stayed in the operating theater for two days and two nights. Only Jun Shiling knew what he had experienced in those two days and two nights.

    If Xia Wanyuan disappeared from his world, he felt that there was no meaning in this world.

    Infected by the thick emotions in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and reached out to pull Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I never thought of leaving.¡±

    The veins on Jun Shiling¡¯s forehead bulged slightly. He put down the bowl and reached out to gently hug Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling back. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡±

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan woke up, Jun Shiling had always shown her his tenacious side.

    However, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words instantly hit Jun Shiling¡¯s weak point.

    Now that she was hugging Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel Jun Shiling¡¯s vulnerability. She gently patted Jun Shiling¡¯s back.

    ¡°Brother-inw.¡± The ward door was suddenly pushed open. Seeing the scene in the room, Xia Yu hurriedly closed the door. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯lle backter.¡±

    Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Come in.¡±

    Xia Yu opened the door again and walked in. He handed a document to Jun Shiling. ¡°Brother-inw, Special Assistant Lin asked me to send this to you.¡±

    Jun Shiling flipped it open and took a look, then handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°The Jiang family touched you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the document. Unlike the others, the others were shocked to see the Jiang family fall. Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    A centipede was still alive, let alone the Jiang family, which had been entrenched in China for nearly a few hundred years.

    It looked so easy, but Xia Wanyuan knew very well that Jun Shiling must have paid a considerable price and spent a lot of effort for this.

    Exposing the matter was very simple, but how to implement it and suppress the various industrial lines of the Jiang family was the most difficult.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Rest well. I¡¯ll go up.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Yu upstairs. Xuan Sheng¡¯s ward was upstairs.

    Seeing Jun Shiling walk over, Lu Li stood up in fear. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Although she had worked with Xia Wanyuan for so long, Lu Li was still a little afraid when she looked at Jun Shiling.

    ¡°How¡¯s he doing?¡±

    Speaking of Xuan Sheng, Lu Li¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of sadness. ¡°The doctor said that he doesn¡¯t know when CEO Xuan will wake up. It depends on his own will to live.¡±

    The medicine that needed to be used had been used, and Xuan Sheng¡¯s injuries had been properly treated.

    Now that Xuan Sheng could not wake up for a long time, the doctor determined that other than being seriously injured and unconscious, it was also rted to his weak willpower to live.

    ¡°Go down first. I¡¯ll go in and take a look,¡± Jun Shiling said and walked in. Lu Li subconsciously stopped Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling frowned and nced at Lu Li before she retracted her hand. ¡°CEO Jun, CEO Xuan is very pitiful.¡±

    She was a little worried that Jun Shiling would agitate Xuan Sheng after entering.

    Jun Shiling did not speak and walked in.

 Chapter 1345 - Acknowledging Godfather

    Chapter 1345: Acknowledging Godfather

    In the ward, Xuan Shengy quietly on the bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages. The entire room was so quiet that only the sound of the ECG monitor could be heard.

    Jun Shiling walked over and nced at Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°This is the second time you¡¯ve saved her. I should thank you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng stilly quietly without any movement.

    Thinking of what Lu Li had said about Xuan Sheng¡¯s weak will to live, Jun Shiling stood by the bed for a long time before finally speaking again.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health has recovered very well, and the child in her stomach has been saved. They¡¯ll be born in five months. I hope that when the timees, you cane and see your godson and goddaughter.¡±

    It was impossible for Jun Shiling to give Xia Wanyuan up, but Xuan Sheng had done so much for her and saved her twice at the critical moment.

    If Xia Wanyuan had stepped into that car without noticing anything, there would have been no chance of survival.

    Jun Shiling had always been a person who distinguished gratitude and grudges. He had seen everything Xuan Sheng had done.

    After thinking about it, he finally thought of this method.

    With that, Jun Shiling stood in front of the bed for a while before leaving.

    The moment Jun Shiling turned around, the image on the ECG detector fluctuated clearly.

    Lu Li was guarding outside the door. Seeing Jun Shiling leave, she hurriedly slipped into the ward to check on Xuan Sheng.

    She was not afraid that Jun Shiling would do anything to Xuan Sheng. It was mainly because she felt that Jun Shiling was provoking Xuan Sheng by standing there.

    Lu Li looked at it for a long time and felt that Xuan Sheng should be fine. Coincidentally, the doctor brought the nurse over for a ward round, so Lu Li asked about Xuan Sheng¡¯s condition.

    ¡°The patient¡¯s will to live is stronger now.¡± The doctor looked at Lu Li in surprise. ¡°It should be because you talk to the patient often. As long as he¡¯s willing to survive, our treatment process will be twice as effective.¡±

    Lu Li was stunned. She had not seen any change in Xuan Sheng when she spoke to him every day, but Jun Shiling had just entered.

    Could it be that CEO Jun had said something to Xuan Sheng that gave him a strong will to live? No matter what, Lu Li was very happy.

    She felt that Xuan Sheng had lived too hard for the first half of his life. If he left for no reason, how wronged would he be?

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the Beijing airport, a private ne was waiting on the runway.

    ¡°Young Master, our people are ready. The medical facilities on the ne are already in ce.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi held a cigarette in his hand and blew out a smoke ring. ¡°Go and carry Su Yao up.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After confirming that Su Yao was not Feng Wuyou, Chu Yi originally wanted to leave Su Yao in Beijing, but before he boarded the ne, he regretted it and sent someone to the ward to carry Su Yao over.

    Su Yao was ced in apletely sealed medical pod. Chu Yi opened it and took a look. Su Yao, who was lying quietly on the bed, had a weak beauty. Chu Yi subconsciously felt a dull pain in his heart.

    He frowned and closed the door. ¡°Bring it up.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After more than ten hours of flying, the nended in Continent F.

    A middle-aged man in a long robe weed Chu Yi. ¡°Young Master, we deciphered some of the words and realized¡­¡±

    Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Chu Yi waved his hand and interrupted him. ¡°Let¡¯s talkter.¡±

    With that, he got someone to carry Su Yao out and brought her into the car.

    The middle-aged man stood rooted to the ground and frowned in confusion when he saw Chu Yi being so careful with the woman beside him.

    What was Chu Yi doing??

 Chapter 1346 - Revival of a Thousand-Year-Old Person

    Chapter 1346: Revival of a Thousand-Year-Old Person

    Su Yao¡¯s condition was originally not suitable for a long journey back to Continent F. However, Chu Yi insisted, so no one could do anything.

    Now that more than ten hours of flying time had passed, even with the medical team following to treat her, Su Yao¡¯s condition still deteriorated rapidly.

    The wound on her heart that had been pierced by the bullet had already begun to bleed. Seeing the blood, Chu Yi frowned slightly. ¡°How did you treat it?¡±

    The doctors were filled with helplessness and wished they could roll their eyes at Chu Yi. I already said that she had just finished the surgery and could not move around, but you still insisted on bringing her back to Continent F from China. Who can you me?

    Theyined in their hearts, but for money, everyone still had a smile on their faces. ¡°After sending her to the hospital, we¡¯ll start the treatment immediately.¡±

    ¡°Mm, use the best medicine.¡± Chu Yi waved his hand and gestured for everyone to carry Su Yao into the car.

    After the medical car gradually left, Chu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in a long robe beside him. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the exact situation?¡±

    The middle-aged man handed a piece of paper with words copied from the coffin to Chu Yi. ¡°We cracked some of the words.

    It showed that more than a thousand years ago, this dynasty that was not recorded in history was once extremely prosperous until a ck-robed man removed the ruler of the dynasty.

    ording to the records, this ck-robed man had the ability to travel through time and space. He was said to be able to reverse the fate of life and death. The ruler of the dynasty believed him. He did not know his goal, but he gave most of the power of the dynasty to the ck-robed man.

    In the ten years of Emperor Xia¡¯s reign, the dynasty had built many altars, as if something big was about to happen.

    There are no records until the day before this major event happened. Presumably, that major event affected the fate of the entire dynasty.¡±

    After hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s inexplicable exnation, Chu Yi frowned. ¡°What do you think this pile is for?? What does it have to do with the man in the coffin?¡±

    ¡°Let me finish.¡± Only then did the middle-aged man take out another piece of paper from his sleeve calmly. ¡°We also found another one.

    ¡°ording to the written records, the Emperor Xia Yuan once built a huge cemetery in the north, and there¡¯s something in that cemetery that can revive a thousand-year-old corpse.¡±

    The more Chu Yi listened, the more he frowned. Although he had always felt that the middle-aged man was a chatan, at least sometimes he relied on his skills. Now that he heard him say this, he really felt that this middle-aged man had no skills at all.

    ¡°A thousand-year-old corpse revived??¡± Chu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief. ¡°You¡¯re saying that the man in the coffin can stille back to life??¡±

    The middle-aged man nodded solemnly. ¡°ording to the documents, that¡¯s the case, but I don¡¯t know if he can be resurrected.¡±

    ¡°Ridiculous.¡± Chu Yi felt that it was ridiculous no matter how he thought about it. ¡°What can we do if we revive him??¡±

    ¡°Have you forgotten the family¡¯s prophecy?¡± The middle-aged man lowered his voice. ¡°If the thousand-year-old corpse can be revived, it means that the prophecy can reallye true. You can have the ability to change time and space and obtain endless treasures. At that time, how can Continent F be your limit??¡±

    Hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s words, Chu Yi¡¯s eyes gradually burned with mes. He pondered for a moment. ¡°Then go and find that mysterious cemetery immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

 Chapter 1347 - Chapter 1347: Waking Up

    Chapter 1347: Waking Up

    Although the documents recorded that Emperor Xia Yuan had once built a huge mausoleum, there was no other specific information. Where the mausoleum was located and for whom it was built was a mystery.

    The Chu family privately contacted tomb raiders from all over the world. After gathering arge group of people, they headed towards China.

    Lin Jing had been sending people to pay attention to the Chu family¡¯s movements. Now that the Chu family had taken action, Lin Jing reported the situation to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Continue to watch. Don¡¯t alert the enemy. Just follow behind them.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After instructing Lin Jing, Jun Shiling entered the ward. Xia Wanyuan had rested for a while and had already woken up.

    ¡°Does your stomach hurt?¡± Jun Shiling walked over and gently helped Xia Wanyuan up.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°It only hurts a little. When can I be discharged?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not even time yet and you¡¯re already thinking of being discharged.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan unhappily. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go out until you recover.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s cold expression, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°CEO Jun, why do I feel that you¡¯re getting more and more domineering?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at her. ¡°Why? Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°No, no.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch her stomach. As long as she did not press hard, there would be no obvious pain. She looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°I want to visit Xuan Sheng.¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. He called the nurse in and carried the entire bed up to the third floor.

    After entering Xuan Sheng¡¯s ward, she could still smell a strong medicinal smell.

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s injuries were much worse than Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. His entire body was injured from the explosion. In order to preserve the integrity of his skin to the greatest extent, Shen Xiu woulde and change Xuan Sheng¡¯s medicine every day.

    Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan sit up on the bed and gestured for the others to leave.

    ]¡±I¡¯ll go out too.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling back. ¡°No need. There¡¯s nothing to hide from you.¡±

    Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°I know you have nothing to hide from me, but I don¡¯t want to hear what you want to tell him.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling walked out of the room and closed the door.

    In the ward, looking at Xuan Sheng, who was wrapped up like a mummy, Xia Wanyuan sighed softly. ¡°I hope you can get better.¡± Other than that, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else.

    However, after Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Xuan Sheng¡¯s ECG monitor clearly changed. The originally t lines suddenly became steep.

    His eyshes fluttered gently, as if he wanted to open his eyes with great effort, but he could not open them after trying for a long time.

    When Shen Xiu received the change in the monitor, he immediately rushed over with his men.

    The medical team treated him at the side. Not long after, Xuan Sheng¡¯s fingers curled up gently, and his eyshes trembled louder and louder. In the end, he half-opened his eyes.

    There were many voices and all sorts of figures around. However, Xuan Sheng seemed to have sensed something and turned his head slightly to look at the window.

    Over there sat Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cool eyes, Xuan Sheng blinked slightly.

    He was weak now. Turning his head had almost exhausted his strength. Xuan Sheng closed his eyes.

    ¡°The patient fainted again!¡± The doctor was about to continue treating her when Shen Xiu stopped him.

    Shen Xiu lowered his head to take a closer look. ¡°He¡¯s resting. His condition is normal.¡±

 Chapter 1348 - 1348 New Kingdom

    1348 New Kingdom

    After the doctor examined Xuan Sheng, he pushed Xia Wanyuan out of the ward.

    ¡°He¡¯s awake?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Shen Xiu.

    Shen Xiu subconsciously nced at Xia Wanyuan and nodded. ¡°Yes, CEO Xuan is awake.¡±

    Everyone present knew why he had woken up.

    Shen Xiu had seen Jun Shiling¡¯s deep love for Xia Wanyuan all the way, and now, he had seen another man¡¯s deep love. He sighed in his heart.

    Love was difficult to understand.

    Jun Shiling did not say anything and only asked the doctors to do their best to take care of Xuan Sheng before returning to the ward downstairs with Xia Wanyuan.

    At the door of the ward, Xia Yu was waiting for Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Sister, Brother-inw.¡±

    ¡°Come in and talk.¡± Jun Shiling pushed Xia Wanyuan into the ward. Xia Yu followed, his face filled with hesitation.

    Before Xia Yu could speak, Xia Wanyuan already knew what he was going to say. ¡°You¡¯re leaving China?¡±

    Xia Yu looked up in surprise. ¡°Sister, how did you know??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan waved at Xia Yu, who walked over and sat by the bed.

    Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Yu¡¯s arm. ¡°Go, but you have to think carefully. Don¡¯t hesitate and end up hurting both parties.¡±

    Xia Yu nodded. ¡°Mm, Sister, take care of yourself.¡±

    ¡°I will.¡±

    After bidding farewell to Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu carried his luggage out of the hospital, only to bump into a person in a wheelchair at the door.

    Xia Yu was so focused on the navigation on his phone that he did not notice the person in front of him. Instead, Lin Qingdai stopped him.

    Xia Yu looked up and stopped when he saw Lin Qingdai. His gaze swept across Lin Qingdai¡¯sp. ¡°Mr. Lin.¡±

    Lin Qingdai smiled. ¡°Hello, are you going out?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded.

    ¡°Goodbye.¡± The corners of Lin Qingdai¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he smiled politely at Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu walked forward with his luggage. After taking three steps, he suddenly turned around. Lin Qingdai stopped on the spot, as if he had expected Xia Yu to turn around.

    ¡°I hope¡­¡±

    Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, Lin Qingdai interrupted him. ¡°Mr. Xia, I advise you to cherish the person in front of you. As for my wife, I will definitely take good care of her.¡±

    With that, Lin Qingdai turned around and left with the wheelchair.

    Watching Lin Qingdai leave, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes were dark. He stood on the spot for a while before leaving and heading towards the airport.

    At this moment, in Continent F, Lin Yi had returned to the desert and mixed in with a group of tomb raiders.

    She had just arrived in Continent F when she met this group of people who were familiar with the local area.

    Lin Yi knew a little medical skills and had medicine on her. A woman who was unarmed was not a threat. In exchange for medicine, she walked with this group of tomb raiders.

    With this group of people leading the way, Lin Yi was unimpeded in the desert.

    Lin Yi originally wanted to follow this team to the hintend of Continent F to gather news, but halfway there, this group of tomb raiders suddenly went back on their word.

    ¡°We can¡¯t bring you to F City anymore. We¡¯ve received a new mission and need to go to China.¡±

    ¡°China?¡± Lin Yi was a little puzzled.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The leader wanted to say something to Lin Yi, but a subordinate walked over and whispered a few words to him. The leader sized up Lin Yi for a long time. ¡°Why don¡¯t you follow us to China? We¡¯re willing to pay you.¡±

    Lin Yi subconsciously rejected. ¡°I¡¯m not going to China.¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡± The leader shook his head regretfully. Lin Yi knew medicine and was bold. After interacting with her for a while, she was also a trustworthy person. If only she could follow us to China.

    Since she could not travel with them anymore, Lin Yi packed her things and was about to leave. However, she happened to look up and was suddenly stunned when she saw the blueprint in the leader¡¯s hand.

    She walked over. ¡°Can you show me this?¡±

    The leader handed her the blueprint. ¡°Do you know where this ce is??¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re going here?¡±

    ¡°Right.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go back to China with you.¡± Lin Yi suddenly changed his mind because the location disyed on the blueprint was where the Lin family¡¯s ancient tombs were.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After many days of interrogation, Jiang Kui was finally convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would save him?!¡± Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yun angrily. ¡°Is this how you save him?!¡±

    ¡°Father.¡± Jiang Yun looked straight at Father Jiang. ¡°What I promised you was to keep Jiang Kui¡¯s life. He has done so many outrageous things. It¡¯s already unfair to others to be able to keep his life.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Father Jiang pointed at Jiang Yun, his hand trembling. ¡°Your wings have indeed hardened.¡±

    The corners of Jiang Yun¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Indeed, since Father also feels that my wings have hardened, can you hand over the power of the Jiang family?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!!¡± Father Jiang mmed the table in front of him. ¡°No wonder you refused to save Jiang Kui at all. So you have designs on the Jiang family corporation.¡±

    Jiang Yun crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with a strong aura, ¡°Father, it¡¯s no longer a matter of whether you¡¯re willing or not. The Jiang Corporation is facing bankruptcy. Do you think the board of directors will choose you, who will lead them to failure, or me?¡±

    Seeing Jiang Yun¡¯s confident expression, Father Jiang¡¯s blood surged and his entire face flushed red. ¡°How dare you!¡±

    ¡°Father, are you going to be fired in front of the board of directors, or are you going to take the initiative to save yourself some face? It¡¯s your choice. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible.¡±

    Father Jiang held his chest and panted heavily as he fell onto the sofa.

    Two hourster, the Jiang Group released news that the power of the Jiang family had been handed over to Jiang Yun.

    [What¡¯s going on??? Didn¡¯t the Jiang family go bankrupt? Is there a need to transfer power now?]

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Jiang family is really capable. When their family assets were intact, they passed the position to their son. Now that they¡¯re bankrupt, they think of their daughter.]

    [Jiang Yun is so pitiful¡­ Father Jiang has transferred all his debts to Jiang Yun. What¡¯s the use of taking over the Jiang family now?]

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise,

    On the day Jiang Yun took over the Jiang Group, the three major financial groups in Continent M announced at the same time that they would invest in the Jiang Group. The Jiang family¡¯s overseas business quickly recovered and continuously sent energy to the domestic business.

    In the corporation, Jiang Yun¡¯s drastic reforms had removed arge number of employees. At the same time, she had promoted a new group of people. Jiang Yun had her subordinates remove all the busy businesses in the corporation and increase the efficiency of the corporation¡¯s industries on arge scale.

    It was only at this moment that everyone realized that Jiang Yun had long prepared for this day. She had been overseas for more than ten years. After returning to China, she had not stayed in the corporation for nothing for the past six months.

    In the fallen Jiang family, a new Jiang family stood up under Jiang Yun¡¯s lead.

 Chapter 1349 - 1349 Going Home

    1349 Going Home

    In the prison, Jiang Kui was still waiting for Father Jiang to save him. Outside the prison, Father Jiang sat on the floor and sighed deeply as he watched the high-spirited Jiang Yun on the news interview.

    Over the years, the person he had put in the most effort was Jiang Kui. He had also ced all his hopes on Jiang Kui. He felt that only Jiang Kui, a man with the Jiang family¡¯s bloodline, could lead the Jiang family to greater heights.

    However, now, he suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. Everything he had insisted on had copsed.

    Jiang Yun used her ability to prove herself again and again that the daughter of the Jiang family could also bring the entire family to prosperity.

    !!

    At this moment, the assistant walked in. ¡°Old Master, Chairman Wang of Continent M is willing to let their corporation¡¯s legal teame and help Young Master. We¡¯re also doing our best tomunicate with the officials. As long as we can make up for the losses, they said that they can try to reduce Young Master¡¯s sentence.¡±

    The assistant spoke for a long time, but Father Jiang did not respond. The assistant could not help but call out, ¡°Old Master??¡±

    Father Jiang shook his head. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s leave it at that. Yun¡¯er is right. This is the price he deserves.¡±

    The assistant was shocked. From the looks of it, Father Jiang was not going to care about Jiang Kui anymore??

    Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yun, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes in the newspaper.

    Jiang Yun had already said so much. If he still tried his best to save Jiang Kui now, he would definitely hurt Jiang Yun¡¯s heart.

    Now, the entire Jiang family had to rely on Jiang Yun toe back. He could not hurt the heart of the current head of the Jiang family for a son in prison.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the ward of Beijing Hospital, Xia Wanyuan was not surprised at all to hear that Jiang Yun controlled the Jiang family.

    ¡°Even without this incident, Jiang Yun will still control the Jiang familyter on.¡± After all, with Jiang Yun¡¯s intelligence, no one in the Jiang family was her match.

    ¡°You¡¯ve interacted with her?¡± Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan a mouthful of medicine.

    ]¡±Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not hide it from Jun Shiling. ¡°She gave me some evidence of Jiang Kui.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a temporary alliance,¡± Jun Shilingmented directly.

    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered.

    When the opponents they faced were all Jiang Kui, the two of them could be allies.

    When Jiang Kui disappeared, the Jiang family led by Jiang Yun would go wherever the next benefit was.

    ¡°Can I go home and lie down to rest??¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling longingly. ¡°I¡¯ll be depressed if I stay in the hospital every day.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan angrily. ¡°You¡¯re depressed?? Where?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and shook Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. ¡°CEO Jun, can I? I can recuperate when I get home.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling finally agreed.

    Although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wound had recovered quite well, she could not do big movements.

    The group carefully sent Xia Wanyuan to the manor and connected all sorts of medical equipment in the bedroom.

    Finally, she could see flowers and green leaves at a nce. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mood improved a lot.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling.

    At that moment, Lin Jing suddenly walked in and whispered a few words into Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan as usual. ¡°I have something on. I¡¯lle in and apany youter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Jun Shiling brought Lin Jing out of the room. ¡°Tell me in detail. Who is in trouble?¡±

    ¡°An Lin.¡±

 Chapter 1350 - 1350 Price

    1350 Price

    Jun Shiling did not look surprised, but his eyes clearly darkened. ¡°Continue.¡±

    ¡°The news from the Cape family is currently very tight. The news we can obtain so far is that An Luo has officially epted the Cape family from An Lin. We don¡¯t know where An Lin is.¡±

    ¡°When the time is right, help An Luo,¡± Jun Shiling thought for a moment and finally said.

    An Lin had been paving the way for An Luo for the past two years, but the Cape family had dominated Continent O for so long. Once it changed, it would be the focus of the other families.

    !!

    An Luo was still young. Jun Shiling had once promised An Lin that he would help An Luo at the right time.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    At this moment, in Continent O¡¯s ancient castle, the documents in front of An Luo were scattered all over the ground.

    ¡°Get lost!¡± The assistant carefully stepped forward and An Luo pushed everything to the ground. ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me where my brother is, I¡¯ll never take over the family.¡±

    ¡°Little Young Master.¡± The butler stepped forward tofort An Luo. ¡°Didn¡¯t the family head leave you a letter? He has something to do. The family¡¯s power is temporarily in your hands. Be good, the family head will be back soon.¡±

    An Luo¡¯s blue eyes were filled with anger. ¡°Do you take me for a fool? You¡¯re not telling me where my brother is, right? I¡¯ll shoot myself to death now.¡±

    With that, An Luo took out a small pistol from somewhere and pointed it at his head. ¡°Where¡¯s my brother?!¡±

    ¡°Little Young Master, don¡¯t be rash.¡± The others were frightened. The butler hurriedly winked at the person beside him. Then, he carefully approached An Luo. ¡°Little Young Master, be careful not to fire identally.¡±

    An Luo pointed at the sky and fired, then aimed at himself. ¡°You all know where my brother is, right? You¡¯re not going to tell me, right? Then I¡¯ll die for you to see.¡±

    With that, An Luo pulled the trigger.

    ¡°Little Young Master!! Let¡¯s go and look for the family head!!¡± The butler finally panicked. ¡°We¡¯ll go and look for him immediately. Please wait for a while.¡±

    Five minutester, the butler brought An Luo into the castle.

    An Luo had never known that there was such a deep path in this castle.

    After walking for some time, the butler stopped in front of a small house with An Luo. ¡°Young Master, the head of the family is here, but you can¡¯t go in.¡±

    An Luo would not listen to the butler. He raised his foot and barged in. However, just as he took a step, An Lin¡¯s weak voice came from the window.

    ¡°An Luo, don¡¯te over.¡±

    ¡°Brother.¡± Hearing An Lin¡¯s voice, An Luo stopped on the spot and his eyes turned red. ¡°Why don¡¯t you care about me?¡±

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± An Lin spoke very slowly, as if it was extremely strenuous. ¡°Do you listen to me?¡±

    ¡± Yes.¡±

    ¡°Go back and take over the Cape family. Lead the Cape family forward to a better future. Do you agree?¡±

    ¡°What about you? Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± An Luo¡¯s eyes were filled with concern. He could not help but want to walk forward.

    ¡°Take a step in and I¡¯ll never see you again.¡±

    An Luo stopped.

    ¡°I¡¯ll ask you again. Do you listen to me? You know that the Cape family is my hard work. Only when it¡¯s strong can you be safe. Do you understand?¡± An Lin reasoned with An Luo word by word. However, he was too weak and could only slowly spit out words. Just two short sentences had cost him a lot of time.

    In the courtyard, An Luo stood quietly for a long time before finally nodding. ¡°As long as I do well, will you allow me to see you?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the house, An Lin finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard An Luo agreeing. He waved at the doctor beside him, who hurriedly put an oxygen mask on him.

    In the courtyard, seeing that An Luo had been standing rooted to the ground, the butler went forward to take him away.

    However, after taking a few steps, the butler saw tears at An Luo¡¯s feet. An Luo¡¯s face was filled with suppressed pain and sorrow.

    An Luo was a very smart person. The butler knew that An Luo must have guessed something.

    Sigh, the butler sighed. Everyone in the world was envious of the high wall courtyard. Who knew the price behind it?

    ¡ª¡ª

    In China, time passed day by day. The Jiang family gradually recovered under Jiang Yun¡¯s management.

    Xia Wanyuany on the bed nurturing her baby as she recuperated.

    By the time her stomach was more obvious, her injuries were almost healed.

 Chapter 1351 - 1351 Lost Dynasty

    1351 Lost Dynasty

    The first rain of autumn fell outside the window. The current temperature was not enough to turn on the heater, so the house was a little cold.

    Xia Wanyuan stood by the window and looked at the rain-soaked leaves outside. A warm nket fell on her shoulder.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan ced her hand in Jun Shiling¡¯s coat and absorbed the heat of his body temperature. ¡°I dreamed against night.¡±

    !!

    ¡°What did you dream of?¡± Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair, silently transmitting power to her.

    ¡°I dreamed of Xia Wei.¡± Speaking of Emperor Xia Yuan, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°I dreamed that he was in a very dark ce and looked straight at me, his eyes filled with pleading.¡±

    No matter how bitter it was in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had always protected Xia Wei and her two younger siblings under her wings. Xia Wei¡¯s sad expression in her dream was something Xia Wanyuan had never seen before.

    ¡°I think he¡¯s waiting for me.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling. Her clear eyes were clearly sad.

    ¡°Follow me.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and walked to the study.

    There was an entire stack of documents on the table in the study.

    Jun Shiling walked over and flipped through them. ¡°I wanted to tell you about these after you gave birth.¡±

    Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan and her younger brother had a deep rtionship. He had already found some information. If Xia Wanyuan saw this information, she would definitely be worried.

    Initially, he did not n to tell Xia Wanyuan, but seeing her like this, Jun Shiling could not bear it.

    Xia Wanyuan sat at the desk and looked at the entire pile of documents. The more she read, the more she frowned. However, at the same time, many doubts gradually resolved.

    When the ancient tomb of Longqi Mountain did not surface, many rted events had already happened worldwide.

    However, at that time, no one would associate all sorts of seemingly unrted things.

    Now, Jun Shiling had gotten someone to organize everything. Many connections that had been ignored had surfaced.

    It turned out that more than three hundred years ago, a viger had identally entered near Longqi Mountain. When he came out, he was carrying an entire bag of gold, silver, and jewelry.

    The viger used this to make a fortune and became thergest rich man in a radius of hundreds of miles. His descendants were also hardworking. They did business, became officials, followed the literary path, and the family prospered. Gradually, they became one of the top families in China. This was the Lin family.

    This was also the reason why Linxi City had been the location of the Lin family¡¯s main residence for hundreds of years.

    The ancestors of the Feng and Chu families were all from the north. Later on, they moved south to Linxi City.

    All ancient families had all sorts of orders and legends passed down from their ancestors.

    Initially, no one took these so-called prophecies seriously until a hundred years ago, when someone discovered cultural relics around Longqi Mountain that had the same words as the two families who had preserved the antiques.

    The Feng and Chu families fought fiercely for those cultural relics until the battle ended. The two families were severely injured.

    Something had happened that year. The two big families, Feng and Chu, who had been passed down in China for hundreds of years, collectively fled. One went to Continent F, and the other to Continent M.

    Other than their abnormal movements, over the years, the prices of cultural relics rted to China, the disappeared dynasty, had been extremely high in the underground ck market.

    Someone even suggested, ¡°As long as you obtain China¡¯s magical sacred artifact, you can change time and space and control the world.¡±

    However, there were too few things that appeared from the Great Xia Dynasty. Although this legend was secretly circted in the underground world, most people could not find any obvious clues.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan appeared that the various cultural relics she had inadvertently found and the manyments she had made about the Great Xia Dynasty at various exchanges had long attracted the attention of all parties.

    Through Xia Wanyuan¡¯s various hints, some people found clues and finally targeted Longqi Mountain. This was also the reason why Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had gone down to the ancient tomb and found a nk coffin.

    The real coffin of Emperor Yuan Xia had already been taken away.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through all the information with a serious expression. Then, she looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°You mean that my younger brother can be revived?? Then where did his coffin go??¡±

    ¡°Resurrection is just a legend. If I¡¯m not wrong, the coffin should be in the hands of the Chu family, Chu Yi.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan could not help but feel excited. ¡°I want to find him.¡±

    She was thinking that Xia Wei might be visiting her in her dreams to tell her something.

    Although she now had a new family and loved ones in the modern world,

    However, every time she thought of her younger siblings in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan would always feel sad. Now that she knew that Xia Wei¡¯s coffin had appeared, and there might be Xia Wei¡¯s corpse hidden inside, Xia Wanyuan could not wait to find the coffin.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, Jun Shiling knew what she was thinking. ¡°This is why I don¡¯t want you to know this news.¡±

    Jun Shiling gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°It¡¯s useless to be anxious. The Chu family has long left China. It¡¯s as difficult as ascending to the sky to get something from them. We have to consider this matter at length.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan calmed down and knew that Jun Shiling was right. She nodded. ¡°Okay, what do you think we should do?¡±

    Jun Shiling took the map from the side and pointed at the location of Longqi Mountain.

    Xia Wanyuan instantly understood. ¡°You mean, lure the snake out of the hole?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Smart.¡±

    Since everything was caused by Long Qi Mountain, they could use it as bait to attract those who wanted to profit from it again.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended on Longqi Mountain. After a while, she said, ¡°It¡¯s time to let this dynasty appear.¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and gently patted her back.

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling back. ¡°I miss them.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll find them.¡±

    The rain outside the window was still falling, and the autumn rain was pattering. In the calm rain, a few thunderps suddenly sounded, turning the quiet world upside down.

    Ever since the Longqi Mountain Exchange ended, not only had the discussion about the existence of the mysterious dynasty not disappeared, but it had also be more and more intense. Both sides had their own opinions. From the academic world to the archeological world, and from the archeological world to the Inte, more and more people began to join this debate.

    Xia Wanyuan had been recuperating recently and was not in the mood to pay attention to this, so she did not know how much the literary world had quarreled.

    Under such a deadlock, Xia Wanyuan, who had disappeared from the public eye for two months, suddenly updated a Weibo post.

    @ Xia Wanyuan: ¡°I was recuperating and wrote a research thesis.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s post, the fans did not have time to see what specific content she had posted. They shouted and snatched thements first.

    [ Ahhh, goddess, you¡¯ve finally appeared. You missed us so much. Is your wound better? ]

    [Boohoo, I¡¯ve finally waited for our Yuan Yuan to post on Weibo. I missed you so much. I really want to know your current state.]

    [I¡¯lle and reserve a seat first. I¡¯lle again when I¡¯ve thought of what to say. I¡¯ll just say that everything as long as you¡¯re fine.]

    After theizens expressed their shock and concern, everyone had time to see what Xia Wanyuan had posted.

    Everyone was even more shocked.

    Because the title of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis was ¡°Lost Dynasty¡±.

    The core idea of the entire thesis was that more than 1,300 years ago, there was an extremely prosperous dynasty in Chinese history.

    The political, economic, culture, and other standards of that dynasty were ahead of the world. Countries from all directions congratted them. However, for some unknown reason, this dynasty disappeared in history. However, from the various ancient cultural relics excavated today, such a period of time did indeed exist in Chinese history.

    Seeing this thesis, everyone was stunned.

    Chinese history books had always paid attention to continuity. How could there be such a powerful dynasty that disappearedpletely?

    Everyone was puzzled, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s argument was quite sufficient.

    This thesis could be said to have instantly caused an earthquake in the academic world. Overnight, everyone was discussing if this dynasty really existed.

    Just as everyone was arguing and pestering, another archeological news suddenly exploded, shocking the entire Inte.

    ording to the research findings of the Qing University¡¯s archaeology department, an emperor¡¯s tomb had been discovered at the foot of Longqi Mountain.

    The furnishings and decorations of this emperor¡¯s tomb were different from any dynasty in history.

    Afterparison at the scene, the various items matched the dynasty Xia Wanyuan had just published.

    Theizens were confused.

    [I thought it was a rumor that was nonsense. I didn¡¯t expect it to be true?]

    [Shocking my entire family. The emperor¡¯s tomb... I didn¡¯t even know that an emperor was buried beside my hometown?? F*ck!]

    [ So? Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis is right? Could it be that China¡¯s history is going to be rewritten? ]

 Chapter 1352 - 1352 Allow to be Wilful

    1352 Allow to be Wilful

    During this period of time, the factions led by Nancheng University and Qing University had been arguing about whether there was a missing dynasty.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis instantly pushed the argument between the two sides to the peak.

    Although the ancient tombs of Longqi Mountain had already appeared, there were still some people who maintained a suspicious attitude.

    [ Money makes the world go round. Xia Wanyuan is so rich. Perhaps she built a fake ancient tomb to make herself famous. What can¡¯t she do with money? ]

    [ The person in front, you¡¯re more or less suffering from cerebral palsy. What more poprity does Xia Wanyuan need??? When she stands there, even blinking is a huge poprity. ]

    [But don¡¯t you think it¡¯s very unreliable? That¡¯s an entire dynasty. How can it be forgotten so easily?]

    The controversy on the Inte continued, and the excavation of the ancient tomb on Longqi Mountain continued.

    Knowing that the public was quite concerned about this ancient tomb excavation, the officials specially opened a media live-stream channel so that theizens could participate in this emergency excavation.

    The media reporters gradually entered the ancient tomb along the special passageway. When they saw therge pile of gold, silver, and jewelry in the main room, everyone¡¯s eyes widened.

    The various decorations in the tomb had the obvious style of ancient China, but they also had other novel styles.

    At a nce, it was as if there was no end to the gold and jewelry. They quietly emitted the aura of time. Some of them quickly oxidized and disappeared the moment they were exposed to the air, and they were no longer as stunning as before.

    As the archeologists worked deeper, theplete scene of the tomb gradually appeared in front of everyone.

    The ancient tomb here had been sealed for more than a thousand years and had a very historical foundation under the camera. Even though the audience did not understand the professional identification at all, the historical aura that pierced through the screen drilled into the audience¡¯s hearts.

    [ Why do I suddenly believe Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis? If these ancient tombs and cultural relics can be faked, then Xia Wanyuan is too amazing¡­ Anyway, I can¡¯t tell the difference. ]

    [ This archeology student worships Xia Wanyuan. Anyway, I believe her. As for those who don¡¯t believe her, they¡¯re probably stubborn because of interests. How can such an ancient tomb be fake? ]

    [So many jewelry¡­ If I can secretly bring one back, will I be rich? Forget it, I¡¯m already preparing to buy a ne ticket to Linxi. Everyone, wait for me to be rich!]

    In Nancheng University, everyone was holding an emergency meeting. ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s matter has been resolved?? Why did Xia Wanyuan jump out again?? And there¡¯s an ancient tomb. Nancheng University is so close. Why didn¡¯t you discover anything?!¡±

    Looking at everyone¡¯s dejected expressions, the leader of Nancheng University was furious. ¡°What¡¯s the use of raising you?! You can¡¯t help at all at the critical moment.¡±

    ¡°Leader, now is not the time to quarrel. Let¡¯s think about what to do first. Back then, our Nancheng University collectively issued a statement denying the authenticity of those cultural relics. If Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis is proven to be true, our Nancheng University¡¯s History department will be embarrassed in the future.¡±

    Thinking of this, not only were the school leaders annoyed, but the teachers also looked unhappy.

    Everyone regretted it now. They should not have listened to that person¡¯s nonsense and stood up to deny and boycott Xia Wanyuan.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan was fine. Their Nancheng University might really lose face.

    In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan was discussing with Jun Shiling about going to Linxi.

    ¡°I¡¯m almost healed.¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and ced it on her stomach. ¡°Look, I don¡¯t even feel the pain when the two little fellows jump around so happily.¡±

    Jun Shiling gently touched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach, his eyes slightly warm. However, he was unwilling to relent to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s request.

    ¡°In the past, I didn¡¯t say anything when you were tired. Now, look at yourself. You¡¯re already seven months pregnant, yet you still want to go over there and torture yourself. What if¡­¡±

    At this point, Jun Shiling did not dare to continue. Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan had been covered in blood back then, Jun Shiling felt a lingering fear.

    ¡°But I want to see the excavation work at the scene.¡± In the manor, she could only see those artifacts on the television screen. They were cold.

    Xia Wanyuan wanted to go to the venue, and there was one more thing. The opening ceremony of the Moon Bay project had not been held yet, and it could not be dyed anymore.

    It was originally scheduled to open two months ago, but because Xia Wanyuan was injured, the opening ceremony of the Moon Bay project had been dyed.

    Every day that was dyed was a huge cost that was consumed. It had already been two months. If this continued, the capital chain of the Xiafeng Group would not be able to hold on.

    ¡°But.¡± Jun Shiling was worried about Xia Wanyuan, but now that the global situation had changed, Jun Shiling could not apany her immediately. He still had many things to deal with.

    ¡°No buts. I¡¯ll take good care of myself.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling considered three. ¡°You can go, but in a week, when I arrange thepany¡¯s matters, I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless. ¡°Do you want to go with me?¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Anyway, it was already two monthste. It didn¡¯t matter if it was another week. Xia Wanyuan agreed.

    Over the past few months, Xia Wanyuan had been lying on the bed until she was about to grow mushrooms. Now that her health was better, she began to resume some of her previous work and interactions.

    In the afternoon, Xia Wanyuan went to school to apply for leave.

    It was only at this moment that the colleagues realized Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bulging stomach.

    ¡°Wanyuan, you¡¯re pregnant?!¡± Principal Yang was shocked. ¡°You taught lessons while pregnant previously?!¡±

    ¡°Yes, I know my body very well. I¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    =Principal Yang was quite tolerant of Xia Wanyuan. He was generous and gave her indefinite leave.

    ¡°Rest as long as you want. I¡¯ll arrange the work at school.¡± Principal Yang was afraid that something would happen to Xia Wanyuan at school. ¡°Rest well.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you, Principal.¡±

    After leaving the principal¡¯s office, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave.

    However, after taking two steps, arge number of cameras suddenly appeared beside Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, are you pregnant?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia, your stomach is so obvious. How many months has it been?? Can you tell us?¡±

    Hearing that Xia Wanyuan woulde to school today, many media reporters waited in school for a long time. Finally, they saw Xia Wanyuan. Everyone squeezed in front of her with all their might.

    There were too many people. Everyone pushed each other and almost pounced on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach.

    Xia Wanyuan held her stomach and took a step back. Her eyes darkened. She reached into her pocket and pressed a button. Arge number of secret guards appeared around her.

    ¡°Chase them away.¡± Xia Wanyuan was quite direct.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    With such poprity here, how could everyone be willing to leave? The secret guards moved out inrge numbers and directly took away the people who insisted on disturbing Xia Wanyuan.

    Half an hourter, a paparazzo posted on Weibo that was trending.

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan is pregnant. Ten teams of bodyguards escorted her and cleaned up the student passers-by.¡±

    The apanying photo was a photo secretly taken by a reporter.

    In the photo, it could be seen that Xia Wanyuan was clearly pregnant. There were arge number of bodyguards around her, and a portion of them were carrying some thin people out.

    From the angle of the photo, the bodyguards were quite fierce, while the person they were holding looked very pitiful.

    This contrast made everyone unhappy.

    [ Pregnancy is a good thing, but isn¡¯t this arrangement too much? Qing University isn¡¯t run by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s family. Why can she leave, but not the others¡­ To be honest, it¡¯s a little too much. ]

    [ Can you wait for the truth toe out before criticizing? Our Yuan Yuan is not the kind of person who talks about extravagance, okay? I think there must be something else going on. ]

    [I agree with the higher-ups. I advise you marketing ounts to stop usingizens as tools. They only know how to please the public every day. I suspect that the bodyguards didn¡¯t chase away students at all, but annoying paparazzi like you.]

    After so many things and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s umted prestige in the hearts of theizens, now that the marketing ounts were mobilized collectively, it was difficult to make everyone believe the rumors as before.

    Regarding themotion on the Inte, Xia Wanyuan instructed Chen Yun to deal with it while she was busy reviewing the film.

    The television drama scenes of ¡°Under the Sky¡± were almost done filming.

    The special effects studio belonged to the Xiafeng Group, so the production efficiency was quite high.

    Now that the half-finished product was done, they were just waiting for Xia Wanyuan tob through it and make new requests for everyone to continue changing.

    Xia Wanyuan finished watching the sample seriously and nodded in satisfaction.

    Although she had not cared much about the production team recently, the production team did not disappoint her. The things they made made made her very relieved.

    ¡°Just do it ording to the current situation.¡± Xia Wanyuan instructed the special effects studio. ¡°That¡¯s fine. When we¡¯re done, I¡¯ll treat everyone to a meal.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± To the employees, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s encouragement was far more important than a meal.

    The matter of the television drama finally came to an end. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart rxed a little. Just as she was flipping through the sample again, her phone suddenly rang.

    Xia Wanyuan took the phone and nced at it. It was a phone number from America.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone. As expected, Ryan¡¯s voice came from the other end. ¡°Goddess, I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you now?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°You know Li Na¡¯s mother, Liu Man, right?? She¡¯s simply crazy. She¡¯s working with the Chu family to fight for the power of the Blue family. She¡¯s simply inviting a wolf into the house!¡±

    Even someone as crude as Ryan could tell that Chu Yi had ill intentions. However, at this moment, to Liu Man, she did not care what losses she would bring to the Blue family if she provoked Chu Yi. What she cared about was the power of the Blue family.

    ¡°Calm down first.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment andforted Ryan. ¡°Didn¡¯t your family stop her?¡±

    ¡°How did we not stop her?? But Liu Man isn¡¯t an easy person to deal with.¡± It was unknown how painful it was to shoot an arrow at her back when she looked secretly weak.

    ¡°Let her find them and control it.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s opinion was different from the others. She felt that since Liu Man wanted the power of the Blue family, she would give it to her.

    When something that did not match her ability was in her hands, there was a high chance that she would suffer a bacsh.

    Ryan did not understand what Xia Wanyuan meant. ¡°But what if she doesn¡¯t let go after getting it?¡±

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°If you have time, you can look at our China¡¯s military tactics more. There¡¯s a saying that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.¡±

    The Chinese illiterate, Ryan, was stunned. Forgive me for not being able to understand. That was the entire Blue family!! Why was it given away like a free cake in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth?

    ¡°Let her go first. We¡¯ll follow behind.¡± Xia Wanyuan continued to flip through the sample in her hand. ¡°If you believe me, do as I say.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hardcore fan, Ryan naturally believed her. He nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do as you say.¡±

    Soon, everyone in Ryan¡¯s line received orders and stopped fighting with Liu Man. Gradually, the power of the entire Blue family was handed to Liu Man.

    In the Blue family¡¯s main residence, Liu Man was checking the family¡¯s ounts with the butler.

    After looking at it for a while, Liu Man pushed the bill aside. ¡°Get Nana to look for me.¡±

    ¡°Madam, Miss is still unwilling to eat. She definitely doesn¡¯t want toe out and see people.¡± The butler looked troubled.

    After Li Na was kidnapped at the exchangest time, Li Na received a ckmail message a dayter. The other party asked for a billion yuan.

    Liu Man only had one daughter. Not to mention a billion, she was even willing to spend ten billion yuan on Li Na.

    However, although she had been saved, there was something wrong with Li Na¡¯s mental state.

    When she was saved, her clothes were tattered. Anyone could guess what had happened in the two to three days after she was kidnapped.

    After returning to America, Li Na locked herself in her room and did not go out. It had been more than two months, but she still refused to see anyone.

    Liu Man sighed. ¡°Forget it. Butler, bring the food. Let¡¯s go up and see her together.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Liu Man brought her people upstairs and knocked on the door. ¡°Nana, it¡¯s me. Open the door and let Mommy talk to you, okay?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk.¡± Li Na¡¯s voice was very low.

    ¡°Mommy has good news for you.¡± Liu Man knocked on the door again. ¡°Open the door and tell Mommy, do you hate Xia Wanyuan? Now that Mommy is already the person in charge of the Blue family, Mommy will help you take revenge, okay?¡±

    After a while, the door finally opened and the bare-faced Li Na appeared in front of Liu Man.

    Seeing that Li Na was finally willing to show her face, Liu Man was extremely emotional. She walked forward and hugged Li Na. ¡°My child, you¡¯ve suffered.¡±

    ¡°Mom, you just said the person in charge of the Blue family? What does that mean?¡±

 Chapter 1353 - 1353 Returning to China

    1353 Returning to China

    Looking at Li Na, who had lost a lot of weight, Liu Man could not hide the heartache in her eyes. ¡°Go over and eat with Mommy. Mommy will tell you in detail, okay?¡±

    Li Na shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat. Mother, I live so painfully.¡±

    Seeing Li Na¡¯s dispirited appearance, Liu Man was angry and anxious. She pulled Li Na into the house. ¡°What are you saying!! Pull yourself together. You don¡¯t look like the daughter of the Blue family anymore!!¡±

    Li Na¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. ¡°Mother.¡±

    Liu Man gently patted Li Na¡¯s back. ¡°Listen to me. The entire Blue family is in our hands now. Mommy will support you no matter what you want to do. Don¡¯t you want to marry Jun Shiling? Mommy will help you.¡±

    Only then did Li Na look up at Liu Man. ¡°Is the Blue family really ours??¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Liu Man reached out to wipe the tears off Li Na¡¯s face. ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat. We¡¯ll talk about the rest after dinner.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    At this moment, in Continent F, Chu Yi was looking at the information his subordinate had brought over.

    ¡°Young Master, that Liu Man from the Blue family has alreadypletely trusted us. She really thinks she controls the entire family.¡±

    Hearing his subordinate¡¯s words, Chu Yi¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°There¡¯s no movement from the second branch of the Blue family??¡±

    ¡°No, fortunately, Young Master, your methods are brilliant. Now that the entire Continent M is under our control, even if the second branch of the Blue family has other thoughts, they have to consider if they have the ability.¡±

    ¡°Continue to watch and pay attention to the connection between Xia Wanyuan and the Blue family.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±

    After the subordinate left, Chu Yi continued to look at the archeological information sent from China.

    No matter how he looked, he did not find anything special.

    The remaining half of the jade pendant in the coffin could not be found no matter what. There were no new clues in the information revealed by the excavation of the ancient tomb.

    In the past few years, in order to make it easier to find the jade pendant, Chu Yi had started thergest jewelry business in the world for the remaining half of the jade pendant.

    However, after searching the entire world, he could not find it.

    Just as Chu Yi was deep in thought, his assistant walked into the room. ¡°Young Master, Su Yao is awake.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi put the documents in his hand aside and stood up to walk to Su Yao¡¯s room.

    The doctors were leaving one after another. In the room, Su Yao was wearing an oxygen mask and breathing with difficulty.

    Hearing themotion at the door, Su Yao turned her head slightly. The moment she saw Chu Yi, Su Yao¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly.

    Chu Yi walked over to take a look at Su Yao¡¯s condition. ¡°Tell me if it hurts. I¡¯ll get the doctor toe over.¡±

    Su Yao blinked. Chu Yi suddenly lowered his head and brushed her hair away. ¡°You saved me. When you recover, I can satisfy you whatever you want.¡±

    Looking at Chu Yi in front of her, Su Yao¡¯s eyshes fluttered and her eyes lit up.

    Over the past few days, Chu Yi had always had a gloomy expression. Now, he smiled slightly. ¡°Rest well.¡±

    Su Yao nodded slightly. Chu Yi leaned down and kissed Su Yao¡¯s forehead. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    Su Yao had just woken up and could not take it anymore. She gradually closed her eyes again.

    Chu Yi stood in front of Su Yao¡¯s bed for a long time, thinking about something.

    It was only when the assistant outside looked for Chu Yi for something that Chu Yi left the bedroom.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± The assistant walked over and handed a letter to Chu Yi. ¡°This is from CEO Yu. It¡¯s an urgent message.¡±

    Chu Yi opened it and took a look. A mocking expression appeared on his face. He reached out and tore the letter apart. ¡°Get someone to tell Yu Qian that since he¡¯s not sincere, this cooperation is over.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The assistant left with Chu Yi. In the room, hearing themotion outside disappear, Su Yao opened her eyes with difficulty and sighed softly.

    The way Chu Yi looked at her just now, she knew that she was about to do it.

    She had not interacted with Chu Yi for long, but she knew him very well.

    Chu Yi was a suspicious person and did not trust anyone. However, this time, she used her life to finally pry open a small hole in Chu Yi.

    Thinking of Chu Yi¡¯s kiss on her forehead just now, Su Yao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. However, in the next moment, her eyes were filled with hatred.

    One day, I would let Chu Yi taste the pain of losing his family.

    At this moment, in the southern base of Continent F, Yu Qian received Chu Yi¡¯s reply.

    ¡°Boss, this Chu Yi is too arrogant.¡± Jayce was indignant.

    Yu Qian did not look surprised at all, as if he had expected Chu Yi to do this. He pushed the letter aside. ¡°Wait first.¡±

    The reason why the business could not be done was because the benefits were not enough.

    Not long after, Chu Yi would naturallye begging.

    Jayce had never been able to guess Yu Qian¡¯s thoughts, but he did not ask further. He did as Yu Qian said.

    ¡°Boss, Wei Zimu hasn¡¯t been quite right in the past few days.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m guessing that he might want to return to China.¡± In the past few days, Wei Zimu had always run to the tallest ce in the base to sit alone. He did not speak or do anything else, but it inexplicably made one feel that he wanted to leave.

    ¡°Alright, you can leave. I¡¯ll look for him.¡± Yu Qian stood up and instructed Jayce.

    Jayce lowered his head respectfully. ¡°Okay, Boss. I¡¯ll go now.¡±

    This base was built underground. The entire base looked like day, but it was filled with artificial light sources.

    The base had imitated arge number of mountains, rivers,kes, and seas from the outside world. Now, Wei Zimu was on the tallest mountain.

    Yu Qian got someone to send him up. Hearing footsteps, Wei Zimu knew that Yu Qian hade without turning around.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    Yu Qian walked to Wei Zimu and sat down. ¡°Do you think this ce looks good?¡±

    Although everything in the base was artificial, money could make the devil work. All the scenery looked no different from the outside world. Even the wind seemed to have the smell of nature.

    However, a fake was a fake. No matter how realistic it was, Wei Zimu was still depressed.

    ¡°I want to return to China.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°For Xia Wanyuan??¡±

    Wei Zimu did not speak and tacitly agreed.

    News of Xia Wanyuan had spread like wildfire. Wei Zimu was worried and had to take a look himself to know.

    To Wei Zimu¡¯s surprise, Yu Qian agreed readily this time. ¡°Sure, go ahead.¡±

    Wei Zimu turned around in surprise. ¡°What do you need me to do now??¡±

    Yu Qian shook his head. ¡°No, this time, treat it as my leave for you.¡±

    Wei Zimu was skeptical.

 Chapter 1354 - 1354 Weakness

    1354 Weakness

    Wei Zimu sized Yu Qian up quietly. ¡°This doesn¡¯t sound like something you would say.¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°I just want to ask you a question. Why are you so concerned about Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    At first, Yu Qian thought that Wei Zimu had romantic feelings for Xia Wanyuan, butter on, he slowly realized that Wei Zimu had no other intentions towards Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°She saved me.¡± Recalling the youngdy who had given him all sorts of candy in the cold wind, Wei Zimu¡¯s face softened. ¡°If not for her, I might have starved to death on the streets.¡±

    Most importantly, Xia Wanyuan brought him a warm faith.

    Over the years, the girl in the little dress had gradually be a support hidden in Wei Zimu¡¯s heart.

    Looking at the expression on Wei Zimu¡¯s face, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. ¡°She gave you something to eat and you could remember it for so long. Have you ever been so good to your biological brother?¡±

    Now, the gentler Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan, the more Yu Qian thought of the scene when he was kidnapped overseas.

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Wei Zimu turned around and looked at Yu Qian. He did not respond immediately and only looked straight into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes quietly.

    There was obvious mockery in Yu Qian¡¯s cold eyes.

    ¡°I have something for you,¡± Wei Zimu said after a while.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Yu Qian frowned slightly.

    ¡°Wait for me here. I¡¯ll get it.¡± With that, Wei Zimu boarded the aircraft and drove towards his residence.

    Yu Qian sat on the spot and did not move. Looking at the rivers and mountains under his feet, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes darkened.

    About ten minutester, Wei Zimu returned to the top of the mountain and handed a small box to Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian took it and opened it. He frowned. ¡°What is this?¡±

    The inside of the box was very messy. There were all sorts of snack bags. Because it had been too long, the bags had already faded. Some of the bulging food bags had already deted. The lollipop wrapped in sugar paper had already be irregr because it had melted and solidified in the box.

    ¡°These are what Xia Wanyuan gave me back then. Every time she gives me something, I¡¯ll eat half and leave half of it.¡± Looking at the things in the box, Wei Zimu gently pursed his lower lip. ¡°What she gave me was all your favorite food.¡±

    Yu Qian paused for a moment. He looked up at Wei Zimu and suddenly reached out to knock over the box. ¡°What are you doing? Are you pretending to be pitiful with me?? What¡¯s the use of being hypocritical now?¡±

    ¡°Think whatever you want.¡± Wei Zimu lowered his head and picked up everything in the box. ¡°These were originally left for you. Do whatever you want.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu ced the box at Yu Qian¡¯s feet and stood up to leave.

    After Wei Zimu¡¯s figurepletely disappeared from his sight, Yu Qian finally looked at the box by his feet.

    He reached out, but as if thinking of something, he retracted his hand. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s useful to remedy it afterwards?? It¡¯s still for that Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian stood up and stepped onto the aircraft, heading straight down the mountain.

    Seeing that they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes and walked in midair for a while. In the end, he returned to the top of the mountain.

    When he came down again, he was carrying the small box.

    At the door not far away, through the gap, Wei Zimu saw Yu Qian walking back with the box.

    A smile appeared in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes.

    As he had expected, someone who seemed to have no weaknesses actually had the easiest weakness to poke.

    In the distance, Yu Qian had already walked far away with the things. Wei Zimu stood on the spot for a while before walking back. Halfway there, a subordinate came to report the situation.

    Seeing that they were in a hurry, Wei Zimu stopped them. ¡°What happened?¡±

    Everyone hesitated for a moment. Considering that Yu Qian was especially tolerant of Wei Zimu, everyone finally told Wei Zimu about the situation. ¡°Our people discovered Xia Yu¡¯s traces at the southern port. He came to China again.¡±

    Xia Yu took Yu Qian¡¯s special medicine from Wei Zimu. Although Wei Zimu¡¯s punishment had been exempted from Yu Qian, Xia Yu was still listed on Yu Qian¡¯s cklist.

    Now that Xia Yu had appeared in Continent F, his subordinates had already sent someone to monitor Xia Yu and send someone to ask for Yu Qian¡¯s opinion.

    Wei Zimu frowned slightly and thought for a moment. In the end, he made way for everyone. ¡°Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Young Master Wei.¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes flickered as he watched everyone leave.

    Just because Yu Qian would let him off did not mean that Yu Qian would let Xia Yu off. Xia Yu had taken away the medicine that Yu Qian had worked hard to develop for many years. If Xia Yu fell into Yu Qian¡¯s hands, it was impossible for him to walk out of this base alive.

    He had to think of a way to remind Xia Yu. Wei Zimu was thinking about how to send the news to Xia Yu.

    At that moment, Wei Zimu looked up and saw Jayce walking over. Wei Zimu¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he walked towards Jayce.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, time passed quickly. Jun Shiling arranged the matters in thepany and apanied Xia Wanyuan to pack her luggage.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health was recovering even better and she could already move freely, but Jun Shiling did not let her do any work.

    Xia Wanyuan could only sit at the side andmand. ¡°Bring that sweater and those pants¡­¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was talking, Xiao Bao suddenly jumped out from the side. ¡°Mommy, Xiao Bao wants it too. Bring me over too.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and the rest were going to Linxi for quite some time.

    She had to go to the ancient tomb for a few days and arrange the opening ceremony of the Moon Bay project, so she would probably stay there for half a month. Xiao Bao could not bear to part with her.

    ¡°Be good. Study properly at home and y with Great-grandfather.¡± Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s hair. ¡°Mommy will be back in two days.¡±

    Although he was very unhappy, Xiao Bao still nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    On the other side of Beijing, in a huge house, Xuan Sheng was sitting by the window and quietly reading documents.

    Ever since he woke up, after the full treatment of the medical team, Xuan Sheng¡¯s body had gradually recovered, but not as quickly as Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    Thinking that the Moon Bay project was about to open, Xuan Sheng called Shen Xiu. ¡°Doctor Shen, prescribe me some strong medicine. I have something on.¡±

    Shen Xiu saw through Xuan Sheng¡¯s thoughts at a nce. ¡°CEO Xuan, nothing would happen without you at the opening ceremony, but you only have one body.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was silent for a while. ¡°But I don¡¯t have much time with her.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Shen Xiu fell silent. After a long time, he said, ¡°If anything happens, I won¡¯t be responsible.¡±

 Chapter 1355 - 1355 Black-Robed Man

    1355 ck-Robed Man

    Xuan Sheng nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t look for you if anything happens.¡±

    Shen Xiu sighed softly in his heart and went to help Xuan Sheng prepare the medicine he needed to go out.

    In the office, Xuan Sheng looked at the lights downstairs and thought of when his life was on the line.

    Actually, at that time, he did not have much desire to live.

    Sometimes, when he thought about it, he did not know what meaning there was in living his life. It was as if his death would not affect anyone¡¯s life.

    Thinking of this, Xuan Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong with lying on the bed.

    However, in the chaotic darkness, hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, Xuan Sheng seemed to have grabbed that light again.

    Xuan Sheng sighed softly. ¡°I originally treated you as prey when I returned to China. Now, I¡¯m begging for life and death for my prey.¡±

    At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Xuan Sheng pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts. ¡°Come in.¡±

    The assistant walked in and ced a document in front of Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, take a look. This is what we found at the ident scene.¡±

    Xuan Sheng flipped it open. ¡°Is it rted to Xuan Li?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re not sure if it¡¯s rted to Xuan Li for the time being, but we did find someone on Xuan Li¡¯s side at the scene of the ident.¡±

    ¡°Continue to watch. Don¡¯t alert the enemy.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant continued to ask about work. ¡°There¡¯s a meeting at thepany tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Xuan Sheng left the window and walked back to the desk to sit down. ¡°I¡¯m going to Linxi tomorrow. Pack up ande with me.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± The assistant had long expected this.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Continent O. This night was a sleepless night for the entire Continent O.

    That was because that night, the Cape family sessfully changed owners.

    Under the witness of the elders of the family, the green ring that symbolized the power of the family head was sessfully worn by An Luo.

    ¡°An Luo, the Cape family has prospered in your brother¡¯s hands. I hope you won¡¯t let your brother down.¡± The Great Elder looked at An Luo lovingly. ¡°He handed the family to you. You have to lead this family well.¡±

    Growing up under the protection of An Lin, An Luo usually looked obstinate.

    However, after An Lin¡¯s disappearance, the current An Luo seemed to have grown overnight. His blue eyes were firm. ¡°I will listen to my brother.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The Great Elder nodded at An Luo before returning to his seat.

    Under everyone¡¯s witness, An Luo sat on the seat that symbolized the highest power of the Cape family.

    The seat was ced high in the sky. An Luo sat on it and quietly swept his gaze across the people standing below.

    He suddenly felt lonely at the top.

    In the past, when he followed An Lin, An Luo always felt that An Lin was very impressive.

    In the young An Luo¡¯s opinion, it was a rather amazing thing to be able to call the shots from the highest seat of power.

    However, at this moment, An Luo sat on it and felt a heavy shackle wrap around him.

    Sitting here, he bore the responsibility of the entire family.

    Once something happened to him, countless people behind him would be injured.

    An Luo suddenly understood An Lin, but since he had promised An Lin, An Luo had never thought of retreating. He looked at the representatives of the family in front of him.

    ¡°I will carry on the wishes of the previous head of the family and do my best to lead the entire Cape family to better days.¡±

    In the depths of the castle, looking at An Luo, who was wearing the family head¡¯s thumb ring in the camera, a hint of relief appeared in An Lin¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Little Young Master was brought up by you after all.¡± The butler was also quite relieved. ¡°I originally thought that Little Young Master was still a child, but in the blink of an eye, he became a person who can bear the heavy burden of the entire family.¡±

    The relief in An Lin¡¯s eyes dissipated and he began to feel a little helpless. ¡°If possible, I hope that he will always be the ignorant child behind me.¡±

    He had sat in that position before, so he naturally knew how heavy the responsibility was.

    As long as he could still hold on, he would not let An Luo be like that.

    ¡°Young Master.¡± Looking at An Lin, the butler sighed. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Didn¡¯t you be like this for our Cape family? Young Master An Luo will understand your painstaking efforts.¡±

    An Lin was already extremely thin and his face was very pale. He coughed lightly, and the blood vessels on his neck were clearly visible. ¡°Alright, after the ceremony, An Luo will definitelye to my side. Go out and block him.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The butler covered An Lin with the nket and walked out.

    The ward fell silent. An Lin looked out of the window.

    The flowers in the garden were extremely flourishing, but in An Lin¡¯s eyes, there was no life.

    Looking at these colorful flowers, An Lin sighed softly.

    If he could exchange himself for An Luo¡¯s safety in the future, everything he had done would be worth it.

    Just as An Lin was deep in thought, the ward door was pushed open and a man in a ck robe walked in.

    ¡°Do you regret it?¡± The man spoke with a hoarse voice.

    ¡°I don¡¯t regret it.¡± An Lin shook his head. ¡°When I chose to make a deal with you back then, I already expected this day toe.¡±

    More than ten years ago, An Luo and An Lin were expelled from the Cape family. An Lin brought An Luo to wander the streets. At that time, the two of them did not even have a chance to eat their fill.

    As he had been running and hiding for a long time, An Luo, who had been weak for a long time, finally could not resist and fell sick.

    An Lin brought him to all the major hospitals, but the Cape family had already given a death order not to let anyone help An Lin and the other two.

    Furthermore, An Lin did not have money and An Luo¡¯s illness was quite serious. No hospital was willing to take them in.

    Just as An Luo was on hisst breath, the ck-robed man appeared.

    He told An Lin that as long as An Lin was willing to help him do something, he could treat An Luo and let An Lin sessfully take back the Cape family.

    An Lin, who was at his wits¡¯ end, had no choice but to agree to the ck-robed man.

    Hence, after seeding in what the ck-robed man had instructed him, the ck-robed man fulfilled his promise.

    Not only did he let An Luo¡¯s body recover, but he also gave An Lin arge amount of wealth, giving An Lin the first starting capital. He plotted step by step and finally sessfully snatched the Cape family back.

    However, everything had a price.

    What the ck-robed man had asked him to do back then finally began to backfire after so long. He could feel his life constantly flowing away.

    ¡°Ha.¡± The ck-robed man chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s good that you don¡¯t regret it. Your illness is basically hopeless. I still need you to help me do something. After doing it, I can give you something that can guarantee your brother¡¯s safety for the rest of his life.¡±

 Chapter 1356 - 1356 Duty

    1356 Duty

    An Lin looked up at the ck-robed man.

    This man had appeared in front of him more than ten years ago. That huge ck hat had covered him up. An Lin had never seen this person¡¯s true appearance. Now, he was still as mysterious as before.

    However, with his previous experience, An Lin believed that he had the ability.

    Anyway, he was already sick. If he could do something for An Luo before he died, he was naturally willing. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡±

    At that moment, there was amotion outside the door. The ck-robed man took a look and left the way he came.

    ¡°Master, Young Master has instructed that you can¡¯t go in.¡± The butler stopped An Luo, his eyes filled with helplessness. ¡°Young Master needs a quiet environment.¡±

    An Luo raised his hand. ¡°What is this?¡±

    The butler looked up with a hint of awe in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s the symbol of the head of the family.¡±

    ¡°I have the final say in the Cape family.¡± An Luo¡¯s blue eyes looked at the butler. ¡°If I want to go in, who can stop me?¡±

    An Luo was the sessor personally brought out by An Lin. Now, the butler could not withstand the pressure in his eyes. ¡°But Master¡­¡±

    At that moment, An Lin¡¯s voice came from inside the room. ¡°Butler, let him in.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± With An Lin¡¯s permission, the butler retreated to the side. ¡°Master, pleasee in.¡±

    An Luo ran into the room and was stunned when he saw An Lin sitting on the bed. ¡°Brother??¡±

    An Lin waved at An Luo. ¡°Come here and let me take a look. Our An Luo¡¯s performance today was really not bad.¡±

    An Luo gritted his teeth and walked to An Lin¡¯s side. He could not believe that the pale and weak person in front of him was An Lin.

    He finally knew why An Lin did not want to see him. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    An Lin smiled at An Luo. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Come, let Brother touch your head. Our An Luo has to be apetent family head in the future.¡±

    An Luo subconsciously poked his head towards An Lin.

    Feeling the heat on his head, his longing for An Lin finally surged out.

    An Luo went from silent tears to whimpers to cries.

    ]¡±Brother¡­¡± An Luo hugged An Lin¡¯s arm, his tears drenching An Lin¡¯s clothes.

    Hearing An Luo¡¯s cries, An Lin¡¯s heart ached. He gently patted An Luo¡¯s back. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡±

    However, An Luo could not help but cry sadly in An Lin¡¯s arms.

    Outside the door, the butler stood in the garden. Hearing An Luo¡¯s cries inside, he could not help but turn around and secretly wipe his tears.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In China, the news of An Luo sessfully bing the head of the Cape family had also spread to Xia Wanyuan.

    Someone as smart as Xia Wanyuan naturally thought that something must have happened to An Lin.

    ¡°He loves An Luo so much. If nothing had happened to him, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have pushed An Luo to that position.¡±

    Jun Shiling carried his luggage and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°This is the only way, and it¡¯s also An Luo¡¯s fate as a member of the Cape family.¡±

    Only by sending An Luo to the highest position would it be the best protection for him. This was because only the strong had a chance to protect themselves. The weak could only be bullied.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed softly in her heart.

    Countless people were envious of the power of the rich and powerful, but at the peak of power, there were always all sorts of helplessness. It was just that they pitied An Luo. He was so young, but he had to be involved in such heavy responsibilities.

    ¡°Alright, stop thinking about it. It¡¯s time to go.¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It¡¯s raining in Linxi these few days. Remember to put on your coat when you get off theer.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Shaking off the various thoughts in her mind, Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling onto the ne.

    Linxi was a very typical southern city. It had been raining continuously these few days. In Shen Qian¡¯s opinion, this was very unfavorable to opening, but Xia Wanyuan liked this weather very much.

    Shen Qian did not understand Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts, but he followed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions and made a new adjustment to the entire Moon Bay project. Now, he was just waiting for Xia Wanyuan to arrive and check it before starting the opening.

    In America, after Liu Man¡¯s persuasion, Li Na had gradually walked out.

    With the support of Chu Yi¡¯s faction, Liu Man sessfully became the head of the Blue family.

    Sitting at the front of the Blue family¡¯s meeting room, Liu Man nodded smugly at Li Na beside her. Then, she looked around. ¡°Thank you for everyone¡¯s support. Please guide my work in the future.¡±

    The people below were expressionless. Some people even secretly mocked Liu Man¡¯s indecent appearance in their hearts.

    ¡°Report the work.¡± Liu Man imitated Mr. Blue¡¯s meeting she had seen in the past and gave orders.

    However, no one was willing to talk to her.

    Mr. Blue could give orders casually because of his strength. However, everyone knew where Liu Man¡¯s strength came from.

    Everyone looked at each other and stood up.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I still have something on. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°My wife is giving birth. I¡¯ll go to the hospital first.¡±

    ¡°My child has a parent-teacher meeting. I¡¯m sorry, Master.¡±

    Seeing that the huge meeting room was empty, Liu Man stood up angrily. ¡°They¡¯re too much!!¡±

    Li Na walked over to help Liu Man calm down. ¡°Mother, let¡¯s not lower ourselves to their level. They¡¯re just jealous. If we do something, they won¡¯t dare to say anything.¡±

    ¡°How are we going to achieve results?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan open some businesses in America?? Many of the product lines under herpany ovep with ours. Let¡¯s snatch her market share.¡±

    Although Liu Man had been by Mr. Blue¡¯s side for so many years, she rarely participated in business. She knew nothing about what Li Na said.

    ¡°Mother, do whatever I say.¡± Li Na smiled at Liu Man. ¡°At that time, not only will the Blue family be in our hands, but we can even control the entire Continent M.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Liu Man nodded.

    Looking at the meeting room in front of her, Li Na¡¯s eyes were filled with determination.

    If not for Xia Wanyuan, I would not have been in such a miserable state. I would definitely make Xia Wanyuan pay the price.

    Liu Man naively thought that Chu Yi would take the reward and leave after helping her sit on the throne of the Blue family¡¯s head. However, what she did not know was that every word she and Li Na said was under Chu Yi¡¯s surveince.

    ¡°Young Master, they¡¯re too naive. Do they really think they can do anything to Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    Chu Yi yed with the porcin in his hand. ¡°Of course they can¡¯t do anything to Xia Wanyuan. However, it¡¯s not a problem to make Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling ufortable.¡±

 Chapter 1357 - 1357 Secret Plot

    1357 Secret Plot

    In Linxi, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already arrived at the hotel.

    It was drizzling outside the window. It was already early autumn, and the air was already a little cold.

    Xia Wanyuan shrank slightly and a coat was immediately covered on her shoulders. ¡°I told you to wear another one, but you didn¡¯t listen.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you here?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around and smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°It¡¯s raining today. Let¡¯s go over tomorrow. I¡¯m a little sleepy.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Her due date was in two months. Xia Wanyuan was very sleepy now, and her stamina was easily exhausted.

    After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling walked out of the room and called Lin Jing over.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation over there??¡±

    ¡°The main project has been cleaned up. We¡¯re now sorting out some burial items.¡± Lin Jing handed the information in his hand to Jun Shiling. ¡°Everything that has been sorted out is here.¡±

    Jun Shiling picked up the document in front of him and flipped through it. He paused when he saw the pile of items buried with him.

    They were some small toys that looked ipatible with other luxurious burial items.

    However, seeing this, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes warmed slightly.

    He had once heard Xia Wanyuan talk about ying with her younger siblings when she was young. These things were clearly what Xia Wanyuan had once liked.

    It seemed that Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s feelings for Xia Wanyuan were indeed quite deep. After all, ording to the strict etiquette requirements of the royal family at that time, these little toys could not enter a grand hall, let alone be brought into the emperor¡¯s tomb.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s change in expression, Lin Jing had an inexplicable guess, but he did not say anything and waited quietly at the side.

    ¡°CEO Jun, there are still some bamboo slips in the tomb. Most of them can¡¯t be recognized anymore. Only two volumes have some traces, but the words on them are a littleplicated. Our experts can¡¯t decipher them.¡±

    ¡°Put them here.¡± Jun Shiling pointed at the table.

    Only Xia Wanyuan could understand those words.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already released the news.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling let Lin Jing walk closer and instructed some things to him. Soon, Lin Jing walked out of the hotel in the rain.

    Hearing the news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival in Linxi, Nancheng University felt anotheryer of haze cover them.

    ¡°Is this Xia Wanyuan done?? When can she leave?¡± As Emperor Yuan¡¯s ancient tomb gradually appeared in front of the world,

    only some people who did not know history and archaeology could still lie with their eyes open, guessing that the ancient tomb had been artificially faked by Xia Wanyuan.

    To most experts, just through the television screen, everyone could tell that the thing excavated from the ancient tomb had a long history.

    Facts spoke louder than words. The professors of Nancheng University had denied it firmly back then, but now, their faces hurt as much from the ps as the extent of their denial back then.

    ¡°Leader, I heard that Xia Wanyuan came this time to specially watch the progress of the ancient tomb excavation. She¡¯s in the limelight too much. If we really wait for the ancient tomb to be determined, the reputation of Qing University will be resounding from then on. How can we have a share?¡±

    Hearing this, some leaders were worried.

    The enrollment situation this year was already quite serious.

    With the title of number one in the humanities, the data of Nancheng University did not decrease so obviously, but the momentum of Qing University catching up became more and more fierce.

    If their team discovered another dynasty that was not recorded in China¡¯s history, Qing University would snatch all the high-quality students from Nancheng University.

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of just telling me?! The school raised you to bring glory to the school, but now?? The light has been snatched away by Xia Wanyuan. Aren¡¯t you going to think of a way??¡±

    A tall and thin professor suddenly stood up. ¡°Vice-principal, I have an idea, but¡­¡±

    ¡°What way?¡± The vice-principal hurriedly looked at Professor Lin.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk in the office.¡± Professor Lin looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

    ¡°Okay, follow me.¡± The vice-principal let the others leave first and brought Professor Lin into the office.

    ¡°Tell me, in this situation, what should we do to stop Xia Wanyuan??¡± In the vice-principal¡¯s opinion, there was no way to salvage the current situation.

    The excavation of the ancient tomb was live-streamed the entire time. Everyone saw the details of the various collections. Now that the excavation had reached the final stage, they were only waiting for the final conclusion.

    Professor Lin leaned closer. ¡°Principal, I know where their collection is. For the sake of convenience, everything is stored in the warehouse of the Linxi Museum.¡±

    The vice-principal did not understand what Professor Lin meant at first. When he reacted, he was shocked. ¡°You mean to steal those things?¡±

    Professor Lin chuckled. ¡°What are you saying? Can you steal so many things?? Jun Shiling and the rest are not stupid. We¡¯ll probably be discovered before we can steal a few.¡±

    The vice-principal heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Then what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I mean, once and for all,¡± Professor Lin said as he made an explosive gesture.

    The vice-principal was really frightened by him. This Professor Lin usually did not show himself in school. He did not expect this person to be so bold.

    The vice-principal waved his hand. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare. If anything happens, I can¡¯t bear the responsibility.¡±

    The corners of Professor Lin¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Principal, do you want to be the principal?¡±

    The vice-principal was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Professor Lin leisurely sat on a chair at the side and poured himself a cup of tea. ¡°What¡¯s my surname?¡±

    ]The associate professor frowned slightly. ¡°Lin¡­ Lin?! You¡¯re from the Lin family?¡±

    Professor Lin smiled. ¡°Principal, you¡¯re smart. Do you really think I would have such guts if I didn¡¯t have anything to rely on??¡±

    ¡°Then I won¡¯t do it either.¡± The vice-principal knew that the Lin family was powerful, but if this matter was exposed, he would either lose his reputation or be imprisoned. ¡°Professor Lin, I¡¯ll pretend not to hear this today. Leave.¡±

    ¡°I can leave, but¡­¡± Professor Lin took out a photo. ¡°I heard that the principal¡¯s children are studying in an international school and their results are quite good. I really want to talk to them when I have time.¡±

    The vice-principal panicked when Professor Lin said this. ¡°What do you mean?!¡±

    ¡°What you mean is what the Lin family means.¡± Professor Lin smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve already said it. On one hand, it¡¯s the position of principal and wealth, and on the other hand, it¡¯s the lives of your entire family. Think about it yourself.¡±

    With that, Professor Lin turned to leave. After leaving the office, he made a call and reported what had just happened.

    In the evening, he received an affirmative answer from the vice-principal.

 Chapter 1358 - 1358 Sacrificial Items

    1358 Sacrificial Items

    Knowing that Xia Wanyuan had arrived in Linxi, Wei Jin, who was now the head of the Wei family, rushed to the hotel.

    When she arrived, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up and was leaning on the sofa with a nket around her. She was as beautiful as ever, but in Wei Jin¡¯s opinion, Xia Wanyuan seemed to have an even gentler temperament.

    ¡°Cousin,¡± Wei Jin went forward and called out to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Mm, you¡¯re here.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat up and smiled at Wei Jin. ¡°How has the Wei family been recently?¡±

    ¡°With your help, everything is still smooth.¡± Wei Jin nodded. ¡°If there¡¯s anything I don¡¯t understand, I¡¯ll ask you more.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    It was raining heavily outside, but the room was as warm as spring.

    During this period of time, in order to integrate the Wei family in the north and south, Wei Jin had been extremely tense.

    However, sitting beside Xia Wanyuan, Wei Jin seemed to rx.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly on the sofa, Wei Jin could not hide the envy in her eyes. ¡°Cousin, when can I be someone like you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Jin in confusion. ¡°What?¡±

    Wei Jin smiled. ¡°I want to be like you, Cousin. No matter what happens, I can calm people down.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment, her eyes curved slightly.

    Outside the room, Mu Feng and Jun Shiling sat opposite each other.

    ¡°Have you decided?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Mu Feng.

    The Mu family and the Jun family had been on good terms for generations. Mu Feng and Jun Shiling¡¯s rtionship was not that close, but Mu Feng had grown up with Jun Shiling.

    Now, Mu Feng, who was sitting in front of Jun Shiling, had already abandoned the clothes and decorations that used to walk at the front of fashion and changed into a proper suit.

    His silver hair was still there, but it was less carefree and unrestrained. It was more stable and heavy.

    As time passed, responsibility and burden finally changed Mu Feng into a different person.

    ¡°I¡¯ve decided.¡± Mu Feng nodded slightly. ¡°If the mountain doesn¡¯te, the water wille. If the water goes, the mountain wille. The Wei family has developed in the south for so long. They definitely won¡¯t go to the north to develop again.¡±

    Wei Jin was already permanently living in the south, and the Wei family in Beijing had already moved back to the south with her.

    Ever since Mu Feng inherited the Mu family, he had been wondering if he should stay in Beijing to develop or bring the Mu family to the south to develop again.

    If they stayed in Beijing, the Mu family would have already umted a lot of resources there. It would be much easier to do all sorts of things. However, there was the Jun family and the Jiang family in Beijing. No matter how the Mu family developed, they were still limited.

    If he moved to the south, he could help Wei Jin. However, the south had no foundation, and his future challenges would be much more serious.

    Initially, Mu Feng had been conflicted until one rainy night, in the strong wind and heavy rain, Mu Feng drove to pick up Wei Jin, who had worked overtimete at night.

    Seeing the thin and delicate Wei Jin standing alone at the entrance of thepany, Mu Feng immediately made up his mind.

    Wherever Wei Jin was, he would be there. No matter what the future was, he only wanted to appear by Wei Jin¡¯s side as soon as possible when she needed him.

    ¡°Okay, then I wish you sess.¡± Jun Shiling nodded at Mu Feng.

    Only when there was destruction could there be construction. Jun Shiling believed that if Mu Feng and Wei Jin joined forces, they could bite down on Jiangnan, a difficult ce.

    Wei Jin and Mu Feng were both very busy. The two of them sat in the hotel for a while before leaving.

    It was already dark. Xia Wanyuan stood by the window and watched the two of them leave together. She suddenly felt a little emotional.

    ¡°Time is really a magical thing. It seems to be able to change everything.¡±

    Ever since she was pregnant and what had happened to Emperor Xia Yuan, Xia Wanyuan had sometimes be very emotional. Jun Shiling looked down at her. ¡°No, some things won¡¯t change.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling and met the deep meaning in his eyes. Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Mm.¡±

    The rainy night helped her sleep. That night, under the pattering rain, Xia Wanyuan slept quite well.

    In the heavy rain, someone was running through the rain.

    In the Lin family, Lin Qingyuan sat in the living room, drinking tea and looking at the rain outside the eaves.

    Someone rushed over from the front courtyard and broke the silence.

    ¡°Family Head.¡± The person was wearing a raincoat and his face was covered in rain. Worried that the rain on his body would wet the carpet, he stood outside the door and did not enter.

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Our people searched the entire warehouse but didn¡¯t find a simr jade pendant. Furthermore, that main coffin is empty. There¡¯s no corpse at all.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup paused. ¡°Have they been taken away by Jun Shiling and the rest?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. When Jun Shiling and the rest arrived at the ancient tomb, our people were following them. At that time, the coffin was empty¡­¡±

    ¡°I understand. Continue to watch.¡± Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. ¡°You can leave.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The person left in a hurry.

    The courtyard returned to silence, but Lin Qingyuan¡¯s mood of drinking tea was gone. He pushed the teacup aside and narrowed his eyes when he thought of the prophecy that had been passed down in his family.

    Now, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan must be looking for that thing too. I must not let them find it first.

    If he wanted to bring the Lin family to be the number one family in China, that thing definitely had to be his.

    The rain fell the entire night and did not stop until the next morning.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went to the warehouse where the collection was stored in the heavy rain.

    Arge number of burial items were piled up. Xia Wanyuan slowly looked at them.

    When she saw the bamboo slips that still had words, Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked at them for a while.

    ¡°Only you should be able to understand these words.¡± Jun Shiling stood beside Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What does it say?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan scanned it and felt a little strange. ¡°It¡¯s just a book of geography. There¡¯s nothing important recorded.¡±

    Emperor Xia Yuan had always liked all kinds of books. Presumably, this was the book he liked more when he was alive, so he brought it to the mausoleum.

    Xia Wanyuan did not take it to heart. She put the geography book aside and looked at the other things again.

    They were all very normal burial items. Xia Wanyuan did not notice anything special, but she felt a little strange when she saw the sacrificial items.

    Because it had been a long time, coupled with all sorts of oxidation, the things on the sacrificial offering were already blurry. Very few could see the patterns clearly.

    However, through various pieces, Xia Wanyuan saw a small mark on most of the sacrifices.

    It had been so long that the details of the mark could not be seen clearly, but this outline reminded Xia Wanyuan of the time when she seemed to have returned to ancient times.

    At that time, when she was following Emperor Xia Yuan and the ck-robed man, she would asionally see the wind blow at the ck-robed man¡¯s sleeves. On his arm, there seemed to be such a simr mark.

    ¡°Bring these things back. I want to study them again.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the pile of sacrificial items in front of her.

 Chapter 1359 - 1359 Planning

    1359 nning

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Jing ordered someone to pick out everything Xia Wanyuan had said and take it away.

    ia Wanyuan continued walking in and stopped when she saw a bamboo dragonfly made of gold.

    In the past, in the pce, her father and mother did not allow them to y with these things. Later on, she and her younger siblings wandered among the people. asionally, the joy of life was to y with these things.

    Seeing this, Xia Wanyuan thought of them. She knew that Emperor Xia Yuan had probably forged these things because he missed her.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression, Jun Shiling walked over and held her arm. ¡°Let¡¯s go out.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling went out, they happened to meet the curator of the museum showing the vice-principal of Nancheng University around.

    Seeing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, the vice-principal walked over and greeted them. ¡°CEO Jun, Madam Jun, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡±

    Jun Shiling replied calmly and left with Xia Wanyuan.

    The curator watched from afar and patted the vice principal¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Tell me, why must you go up and provoke them? How can we afford to provoke these top-notch nobles?¡±

    The vice-principal nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right. I saw that Xia Wanyuan is also from the academic world, so I wanted to go forward and greet her.¡±

    The curator sneered. ¡°What academic circle? Does anyone need to tell me how a woman like her became a professor? In this society, as long as you have money, there¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t do. If I had that much money, I could also be a professor.¡±

    The vice-principal nodded in agreement. ¡°What do you think of what I just told you?¡±

    The curator patted the vice principal¡¯s arm. ¡°Look at how distant you are. What¡¯s our rtionship? How can I not agree when you¡¯ve already asked?? Come and take a look anytime you want. Our staff here are at your disposal.¡±

    The vice principal smiled and extended his hand to the curator. ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡±

    The curator went to shake the vice-principal¡¯s hand, but he was stunned the moment he held it. He lowered his head and half of the bank card appeared in the vice-principal¡¯s palm.

    The curator coughed lightly and looked around. Then, he tightened his grip on the vice principal¡¯s hand. ¡°Look at how polite my brother is. Is there a need for this between the two of us?¡±

    The vice-principal smiled. ¡°We¡¯re all brothers, so ept it. It¡¯s a small token of appreciation.¡±

    With that, the vice-principal gestured a number in the curator¡¯s palm. The curator¡¯s eyes widened.

    This¡­ this was not small!

    The vice-principal did not allow him to decline. He ced the bank card in the curator¡¯s hand and walked towards the warehouse. ¡°I want to take a look at these collections too. Please lead the way.¡±

    The curator looked at the bank card in his hand and hesitated again and again. In the end, he steeled his heart and put the bank card in his pocket. Then, he followed the vice principal. ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll show you.¡±

    On the other hand, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left the museum and went to the Moon Bay project. Shen Qian was already waiting at the door.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Shen Qian¡¯s gaze swept across her stomach. A hint of surprise shed across his heart, then he nodded at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°CEO Xia, the work here is basicallypleted. We¡¯re just waiting for you to check.¡±

    ¡°Okay, go ahead. I¡¯ll bring him over.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling¡¯s arm and led him towards the ferry. Jun Shiling held an umbre and walked slowly with Xia Wanyuan.

    The rain was hazy. The raindrops dripped on theke, causing ripples.

    As the two of them walked, after crossing a special line, the scene around them became very magical.

    Jun Shiling nced to the side. Theke was filled with snow-white lotus flowers. Willows fluttered by the shore, and arge number of flowers grew on the slope not far away. Countless butterflies with golden shes danced among the flowers.

    ¡°Immersion?¡± Jun Shiling retracted his gaze and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s coat tighter.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    The entire Moon Bay project cost a lot of money. On the basis of building aplete real scene, arge number of immersive high-tech tools were installed. The real scene and special effects were fused together, and the tourists could not tell the difference.

    Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan on the boat and checked thepletion of the entire project.

    By the time the two of them reached the end of the river, a day had passed. Although the two of them had only taken a stroll in the river and had not even gone ashore, the ce they had seen today had only reached half of the Moon Bay project.

    ¡°Come back tomorrow.¡± Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was already a little sleepy, Jun Shiling instructed the boatman to bring them ashore.

    ¡°Okay.¡± It was raining, and the evening breeze brought a chill. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body could not take it anymore.

    Seeing the two people on the ship leave, the assistant squatted beside Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, Miss Xia has already left. Let¡¯s go back too?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at his assistant. ¡°Go back first. I¡¯ll wait for a while.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The assistant nodded. ¡°Okay, call me if you need anything.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After the assistant left, Xuan Sheng sat under the shed by the bridge with a wine jar.

    At that moment, the night light had already lit up. In a daze, it was as if Xuan Sheng was the only one left in the world.

    A staff member in the distance observed for a while. Seeing that Xuan Sheng did not move, he entered the house and called Beijing.

    ¡°He didn¡¯t do anything?¡±

    ¡°Yes, you know that Xuan Sheng likes Xia Wanyuan. With Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan here, how can Xuan Sheng settle down to do anything? He can¡¯t care about anything now and only knows how to drink.¡±

    Mm, continue to watch him. When the matter is over,e and collect the money from me.¡±

    ¡± Okay, okay. Thank you!!¡± After hanging up, the assistant reported the situation to Xuan Li on the sofa.

    After hearing his assistant¡¯s words, Xuan Li sneered. ¡°How useless. No wonder Father was unwilling to hand the family business to him for so many years.¡±

    ¡°Young Master, what should we do now?¡±

    Xuan Li waved the wine ss in his hand. ¡°Let him know more about Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. It¡¯s best if he can¡¯t do anything.¡±

    ¡°But other than Xuan Sheng, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are also involved in the project. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to do it.¡±

    Xuan Li looked up slightly. ¡°Idiot, isn¡¯t there a ready-made breakthrough point in front of us?¡±

    The assistant did not understand what Xuan Li meant. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Xuan Li drank the red wine. ¡°Can¡¯t Xuan Sheng die for Xia Wanyuan? As long as you give him any news, he¡¯ll definitely be more anxious than anyone.¡±

    The assistant seemed to understand what Xuan Li meant. ¡°I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡±

    After the assistant left the office, Xuan Li narrowed his eyes slightly. Xuan Sheng can¡¯t rely on the Moon Bay project to resist the Xuan family.

 Chapter 1360 - 1360 Official Announcement of Opening

    1360 Official Announcement of Opening

    Just as Xuan Li was deep in thought, there was a knock on the office door. Xuan Li looked up. ¡°Come in.¡±

    A man in a ck robe walked in.

    Seeing this man, Xuan Li subconsciously frowned. ¡°Why are you here? Didn¡¯t I give you everything you wanted?¡±

    The man¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to get rid of your brother? You don¡¯t need my help anymore?¡±

    People who did business were born with a sharp sense of danger. Although the ck-robed man had indeed helped him a lot, Xuan Li had a feeling that he could not have too much contact with this ck-robed man.

    Xuan Li stood up. ¡°No need. I can do it myself.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The ck-robed man did not hesitate. He reached out and handed a small locked box to Xuan Li. ¡°Think of a way to send this to Xia Wanyuan and the rest.¡±

    Looking at the box that exuded an ancient aura, Xuan Li felt an inexplicable fear for it. ¡°What is this?¡±

    The ck-robed man was a little impatient. ¡°Just do as I tell you. Why are you talking so much nonsense?¡±

    Xuan Li reached out to take it. To his surprise, the box was quite light and almost weightless. ¡°Give it to Xia Wanyuan. Then?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the rest.¡± The ck-robed man turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped at the door. ¡°I¡¯m warning you. If anyone else opens this box, everyone will definitely die. You should know that I never scare others.¡±

    With that, the ck-robed man left.

    The room fell silent again. Xuan Li stared at theplicated patterns on the box for a long time. In the end, he dispelled his curiosity and ced the box aside.

    Back then, he was just a person who snatched food from a dog by the roadside. Just because he agreed to the ck-robed man¡¯s deal, he was sent back to China and became the young master of the Xuan family.

    He had once sent someone to investigate the background of this ck-robed person, but it was nk.

    It was human nature to be in awe of the unknown. Xuan Li did not dare to touch that person¡¯s things, afraid that something would happen.

    But how could I send this thing to Xia Wanyuan?

    Xuan Li thought for a while and suddenly thought of the ancient tomb that was being excavated. He asked his assistant toe in and handed the box to him.

    ¡°Find a few archeologists and get them to bring this box to Linxi and put it in the mausoleum when no one is paying attention.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The assistant was quite fast. In just one night, the boxy peacefully in the depths of the mausoleum.

    The next morning, the archeological team came to dig as usual. With a shovel, they encountered something hard.

    The archeologist carefully dug it open. The moment he saw the box, his eyes widened. ¡°There¡¯s a well-preserved item here!¡±

    Everyone hurriedly surrounded it and carefully swept away the soil around it. They took photos, sealed them, and sent them to the museum warehouse.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was checking the remaining ces of the Moon Bay project with Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling had never been interested in beautiful scenery and delicious food, but the Moon Bay project developed by Xia Wanyuan interested him.

    After drinking a small ss of wine by a broken bridge, Jun Shiling picked a lotus flower from theke and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on our CEO Xia. What¡¯s done here is very beautiful. You¡¯re very good at everything.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the flowers. ¡°Thank you for your praise, CEO Jun.¡±

    The lotus flowers bloomed at the right time. Xia Wanyuan gently sniffed them and looked around. ¡°I haven¡¯t thought of how much to limit the flow every day.¡±

    Jun Shiling had participated in many such designs. He calcted the area of the entire project in his heart andpared it to the supporting facilities he had seen in the past few days.

    ¡°It¡¯s more suitable to limit the flow of 30,000 people a day.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded, then called Shen Qian and exined the relevant matters.

    Soon, the official Weibo ount of the Moon Bay project released the ticket sales information to China.

    At the same time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ount on the Inte also updated the ticket information at the same time.

    Seeing that this project had finally begun to sell tickets to the public, everyone was still very excited at first. After all, this was a tourist project developed by Xia Wanyuan. Celebrities had their own fan effect. Arge number of people surged into the official Weibo to snatch tickets immediately.

    However, when they saw the ticket price, everyone¡¯s hearts basically copsed.

    Because it was clearly written on the ticketing website, ¡°1,000 dors for each ticket, including all the tours in the scenic area and the cost of the designated food and drinks. There¡¯s a limit of 30,000 tickets a day.¡±

    No one noticed anything else. Just the numbers 1,000 and 30,000 were enough to shock everyone.

    [ Am I seeing things?? 1,000 yuan each? Is there a need for the wife of the richest man to eat so ugly?? This is better than snatching it quickly. I¡¯m really speechless. ]

    [I¡¯m dying ofughter. A ticket for 1,000 yuan and a limited number of 30,000 tickets a day. Are you crazy, or am I crazy? With this money, wouldn¡¯t it be good if I went elsewhere to eat and y well?? I¡¯ll fleece you here?]

    [A certain amusement park only charges a few hundred yuan for a ticket. I don¡¯t even know how a lousy resort can have the cheek to charge 1,000 yuan. Limited? I suspect that this ce won¡¯t even survive for a month.]

    [¡­ Is there a need for you to be so agitated? Didn¡¯t they say that they would pack a portion of the food and drinks? It¡¯s quite worth it.]

    The rational voices were always drowned in the angry denouncements of theizens.

    Xia Wanyuan was the representative of the rich and a celebrity, so she earned money faster. Now that she was developing a tourist project, she naturally became the focus of everyone.

    And the cost of this 1,000 yuan ticket was indeed higher than 99% of the tourist attraction project in the country. It was no wonder that everyone was so agitated.

    However, although they were agitated, there were still some curious people who tried to buy tickets to the Moon Bay project. They wanted to see what mood Xia Wanyuan had to dare to book such an expensive ticket.

    If the domesticizens were already so excited, let alone the foreign mocking voices.

    The most representative entertainment project abroad was Disnend. It was the overlord of amusement park projects worldwide. Its price was now inferior to the Moon Bay project.

    The foreignizens naturallypared the Moon Bay project to Disnend. The more theypared, the louder everyone¡¯s mockery became. In the end, the Moon Bay project was already popr on the Inte before it opened.

    Although it was an anti-fan, at least most foreignizens knew that the richest family in China still wanted to fleece their fans even though they were extremely rich and wanted to create a paradise that wasparable to Disnend.

 Chapter 1361 - 1361 Rainy Night

    1361 Rainy Night

    Whether it was hating or supporting, at least for now, the poprity of Moon Bay Paradise was iparable.

    Under the mockery both domestically and abroad, the people in the advertising industry were simply envious of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s poprity.

    ¡°Good lord, what kind of poprity maniac is Xia Wanyuan? With her, there are hundreds of millions of advertising fees saved.¡±

    ¡°Hundreds of millions might not be able to reach her effect¡­ She made her project famous worldwide without any effort¡­ How manypanies can¡¯t reach this level in their lives?¡±

    Whether it was envy or mockery, as these people had said, Moon Bay Paradise was popr. Manyizens domestically and abroad were waiting for it to open.

    Linxi had already entered the rainy season. During this period of time, the continuous rain had never stopped. Shen Qian confirmed with Xia Wanyuan again. After receiving an affirmative answer, he announced to his subordinate that the opening time would not change.

    Tomorrow was the opening ceremony of Moon Bay. Tonight, the entire park was brightly lit. Everyone was working overtime to prepare for tomorrow.

    It waste at night, and the rain was getting heavier. There were faint thunderps.

    Xuan Sheng stood by the window and quietly looked at the lightning outside. The assistant was worried. ¡°CEO Xuan, it¡¯s raining so heavily. What are we going to do for the opening ceremony tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Since Xia Wanyuan said it¡¯s okay, so be it,¡± Xuan Sheng replied calmly.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Since Xuan Sheng had already said so, the assistant did not dare to say anything else. He stood behind Xuan Sheng and quietly apanied him in a daze.

    Time gradually passed. The night deepened and the rain became heavier. The assistant was about to ask Xuan Sheng if he wanted to rest when messy footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.

    There was a knock on the door and a person covered in rain rushed in. ¡°CEO Xuan, something happened to Miss Xia!¡±

    Xuan Sheng suddenly turned around. ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Miss Xia returned to take a look at our preparations. On the way, we encountered andslide. I heard from the people over there that the entire car rolled into the valley.¡±

    Xuan Sheng immediately rushed to the door. ¡°How is that possible? Where¡¯s Jun Shiling?¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan, doesn¡¯t the officials of Linxi City have a meal with CEO Jun tonight??¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s expression immediately turned ugly. His subordinate was right. In order to rope in Jun Shiling, the officials of Linxi City held a banquet at a restaurant in the city tonight and even invited the Lin family to apany them. Although they had also sent him an invitation, he did not go.

    ¡°Have you called the police?¡± Xuan Sheng grabbed his subordinate¡¯s cor.

    ¡°The rain is too heavy. Although we called the police about thendslide over there, the police won¡¯t be able to enter for a while,¡± the subordinate said as he wiped the mud off his face.

    Xuan Sheng let go of his subordinate and rushed into the rain. The assistant shouted behind him for a long time but could not stop him.

    ¡°Seriously!¡± The assistant took an umbre and rushed out. ¡°It¡¯s raining so heavily. Ancestor, wait for me!!!¡±

    The rain gradually became heavier, hitting the small road in the mountains.

    The Moon Bay project was originally built with natural mountains and rivers. Many ces had not been modified and still maintained the original terrain. After the rain, it looked extremely muddy.

    Following his subordinate¡¯s directions, Xuan Sheng drove south.

    However, he had just recovered from thest explosion. His body was already hanging on by the medicine prescribed by Shen Xiu. Now that he was furious, coupled with the heavy wind and rain, something began to happen to Xuan Sheng¡¯s body.

    The subordinate in the front passenger seat nced at Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, why don¡¯t you let me drive? I know the way. Rest for a while. You still have to contact the police outsideter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xuan Sheng parked the car by the roadside. The subordinate got out of the front passenger seat and walked around to Xuan Sheng¡¯s side. He reached out to touch the steering wheel. In the next second, his right hand behind his back took out a knife and shed at Xuan Sheng.

    A white light suddenly shed in the rearview mirror. Xuan Sheng subconsciously dodged.

    Seeing that his attack did not seed, the subordinate shed at Xuan Sheng again. The two of them fought in the rain and pounced on the mud, unable to be recognized by the mud.

    ¡ª¡ª

    The next morning, it was supposed to be the opening ceremony. However, everyone searched the entire hotel but could not find any traces of Xuan Sheng.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already arrived at Moon Bay. Everyone reported the situation to Xia Wanyuan, who frowned slightly. ¡°He¡¯s not someone who doesn¡¯t know the severity of the matter. Could it be that something happened?¡±

    At that moment, a person covered in mud ran towards the entrance of the hotel. Everyone stopped him. He wiped his face. It was Xuan Sheng¡¯s assistant.

    ¡°Where¡¯s your boss?¡± Xia Wanyuan walked up to him and asked.

    ¡°Miss Xia?!! Didn¡¯t you fall into the valley? When did you go back yesterday?¡± The assistant was panting.

    ¡°What valley? I went back after checking yesterday.¡± Xia Wanyuan had a bad feeling. Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, the assistant¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°Yesterday, someone came and said that you fell into the valley. CEO Xuan was worried about you and left with that person. If you¡¯re fine, then our CEO Xuan?!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had brought the assistant to the side to ask. Now, the people standing not far away were looking over curiously.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. ¡°Don¡¯t panic first. We can¡¯t let others know about Xuan Sheng¡¯s disappearance now. I¡¯ll get someone to look for him. After you cooperate with me to smooth things over, go and look for Xuan Sheng too.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± The assistant nodded and followed Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Xuan isn¡¯t here yet?¡± Someone could not help but ask curiously.

    The assistant wiped the mud off his face. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. Our car broke down on the mountain. I came back to look for it and fell on the way. This rain is really heavy.¡±

    ¡°Yo, it broke down. Is it far?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s far. The mountain is slippery and he probably won¡¯t be back for a while. CEO Xuan said that if we follow the original process, he won¡¯t appear. It¡¯s the same with Miss Xia around.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant¡¯s reaction was very normal. Everyone was concerned about Xuan Sheng¡¯s condition for a while and did not ask further.

    Xia Wanyuan gave her assistant a look. The assistant retreated to the side, and Xia Wanyuan brought the others into the amusement park.

    Although tickets were quite expensive in the eyes of many people, to many of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fans, they were quite willing to support their idol¡¯s career with a thousand yuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had quite a lot of fans, so the 30,000 tickets on the first day of opening were actually sold out. However, the selling time was a little long, and it took about a week.

    Due to the fact that Moon Bay had been quite popr recently, even if Xia Wanyuan did not specially invite them to open today, the news media from all over the world had already filled the entire Moon Bay.

 Chapter 1362 - 1362 Slapping Face at Opening

    1362 pping Face at Opening

    Not only did the media reporters open live-stream channels to domestic audiences, but they also opened up live-streams on the Inte to foreign audiences.

    A small number of people who did not go to the venue did not manage to buy tickets. Most of them were here to watch themotion andugh. They wanted to see which fools would be so willing to be fleeced by Xia Wanyuan.

    There were twenty doors to the Moon Bay project. As the camera moved, theizens fought to guess where the opening ceremony would begin.

    However, no matter how they looked, they did not find any signs of celebration.

    Seeing that it was almost nine in the morning, the audience was a little impatient. Some people had already begun to scold Xia Wanyuan for teasing everyone.

    Time approached nine o¡¯clock minute by minute. When the hour hand finally pointed to nine o¡¯clock, a huge rainbow bridge suddenly built above Moon Bay.

    It had rained heavily the entire nightst night, and there were only some hazy raindrops in the morning. Under the refraction of the light, a dazzling painting appeared in the sky.

    At the same time, the river that crossed Moon Bay began to bloom with all sorts of flowers.

    The amusement park used the most advanced 3D immersion technology. If not for everyone watching them bloom under their feet, they would not have imagined that these things were actually synthesized with special effects.

    Ayer of mist began to float on the river and gradually surrounded the edge of the entire paradise. The scene of the mountains, forests,kes, and sea could be seen in the paradise.

    These high-tech technologies were only supplementary to the scenery. What surprised the audience even more was the design of the entire park.

    The park copied the ssdscape paintings and ssic scenes in China¡¯s history ording to a ratio of 1.1. Every building was definitely antique.

    Other than the ancient building area, there was also the Mythical Area. This ce replicated a fantasy world, the Jade Pool Immortal Forest, the Moon Pce Cinnamon Tree, and the Immortal tform Pavilion.

    It was not like other ces that looked cheap artificialndscapes. As long as one walked into every part of Moon Bay, they could feel the reality of being there.

    Other than the buildings and scenery, there were also arge number of people filled in. There were all sorts of vendors selling things on the street. asionally, a blue bird would fly across the sky and grab an immortal peach. The little phoenix chased the small ball in the sky with its ming tail.

    The tickets said that some food and drinks were free. ording to the usual tricks of other merchants, they usually provided very cheap and convenient food. The drink was just in water.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, here, be it restaurants or street stalls, arge number of things and drinks were free.

    Furthermore, the chefs here were all famous chefs from all over the country. They only came out to work after a long period of training.

    Even a small snack sold at a stall would be sold for dozens or hundreds of yuan in the dessert shop outside.

    Moon Bay was too big and there were countless details. The camera only feinted for a moment before everyone¡¯s interest was piqued.

    Just as the audience was asking the photographer to gather the camera inside the amusement park again, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the square in the middle of the amusement park with everyone. She waved at the surrounding tourists, took the scissors, and enjoyed the ribbon-cutting ceremony with the others.

    ¡°Wee, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not say much and only smiled briefly at the camera.

    At this moment, everyone¡¯s attention was no longer focused on the amusement park, but on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach.

    [ F*ck?! It shouldn¡¯t be Xia Wanyuan who¡¯s fat! Is she pregnant?! ]

    [ording to my observation, it should be¡­ Her stomach is so big. She¡¯s probably about to give birth¡­ She can hide it so well.]

    [ My goddess gave birth without telling the world?!! Doesn¡¯t that mean Xiao Bao is about to have a sister he dreamed of!! Stand up and apud. ]

    It was still raining. Xia Wanyuan came out to show her face before being brought down by Jun Shiling. The others stayed on stage and continued to introduce the gamey of Moon Bay Paradise to the audience.

    The core of the Moon Bay project was to satisfy the ancient fairy dream in everyone¡¯s hearts, but it relied on historical reality and was a man-made dream on this foundation.

    Hearing the organizer¡¯s introduction that they could take a boat to tour the entire park and ride the green bird and phoenix to look down on the entire park, they could¡­

    Countless aspects made the audience drool.

    Most importantly, Xia Wanyuan was willing to spend money to invest. The special effects and real scenery here were quite perfect.

    The phoenix mount looked as if it had really just escaped from the mythical world. Its wings seemed to be burning as it pped, but it was actually using flying tools as a carrier and supplemented by special effects visual tools, making it look like a real phoenix.

    [The child is crying from hunger. I was wrong. Is it toote for me to buy a ticket now?? My face hurts!!!]

    [ Amazing!! This is the fantasy world I imagined!! Ow ow ow, I really want to y!! I love it!! ]

    [ I¡¯m kneeling and watching the live broadcast. I¡¯m tired of saying the words ¡°Xia Wanyuan is awesome¡±. ]

 Chapter 1363 - 1363 Death

    1363 Death

    Theizens who had beenining about the expensive Moon Bay project the night before were nowpletely silent. They only hated themselves for not snatching the tickets.

    Needless to say, there were all sorts of beautiful scenes. What made the audience crave even more was the delicious food in the camera that was like a work of art. Those things looked quite delicious and exquisite at a nce. They were actually included in the tickets for the tourists to eat for free. The audience in front of the camera, who could only see but not eat, were already about to cry from hunger.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s idea was to create a real scene, a dream for tourists. Hence, in the Moon Bay project, be it the towering immortal tform pce or an inconspicuous stall by the street, they were all meticulously built by the park staff.

    In the past few years, China had been popr with the national culture, but on the one hand, there were many merchants who sold fake goods, and the real ones were especially expensive. Even if many people liked them, they could not really satisfy their requirements for the national style clothes and essories.

    However, in the Moon Bay project, every clothing shop, essory shop, and jewelry and porcin shop imported directly from Xiu Yi and Ci Yi¡¯s factory, guaranteeing the absolute quality of the product.

    Furthermore, because Xiu Yi had many lost top-secret embroidery methods, even if the outside world wanted to imitate it, they could not. They could maintain its overall standard 100%.

    Other than everyone¡¯s favorite clothes and jewelry, there were all sorts of performances, wooden handicrafts, silversmith skills,ntern festivals, and so on. There was nothing that no one could imagine and nothing that the Moon Bay project could not provide.

    [ Do you know what paper was ced on the table of the person who was fortune-telling and setting up the stall just now? It¡¯s actually the legendary Cai Hou paper. It requires 36rge processes and 72 small processes. The paper is thin and sinewy. It doesn¡¯t daub when writing and painting. It sucks ink and doesn¡¯t fade. It¡¯s preserved for a hundred years. How thoughtful. ]

    [ That¡¯s not all. You might not have noticed that many of the things in front of the stall are already lost. Good lord, did Xia Wanyuan build an entire cultural heritage treasure trove? ]

    [Boohoo, as a Chinese traditional clothes enthusiast, I¡¯m about to cry. Those clothes just now were so beautiful, and it wasn¡¯t for a gimmick. They really made good improvements based on history. They¡¯re really beautiful.]

    Even the Chinese themselves might not recognize so many cultural heritages, let alone foreignizens who had nevere into contact with them.

    They had nevere into contact with China¡¯s legends. Hence, when they saw the phoenixes and blue birds flying around in the park, the jade rabbits pounding herbs, and the golden dragons stirring up trouble in the water, everyone felt that their worldview had been refreshed.

    [ Oh my god, do these things really exist? Is China rearing these magical animals?? And what is that glowing tree? ]

    [Why can¡¯t I tell that these things are fake? Can anyone tell me if these are real or fake? Does such a magical world really exist?]

    [ If such a paradise really exists, the price of this ticket is too cheap. Are there any restrictions on foreigners buying tickets? I¡¯ll go and take a look next month. ]

    The difference between Chinese and foreign cultures is a barrier that prevents the interaction of the two cultures.

    However, at the same time, it was also an opportunity. Because of the difference, it could arouse others¡¯ curiosity.

    An hour after the opening ceremony, all the tickets for the next day had been reserved.

    Initially, countless people were waiting for Xia Wanyuan to copse. However, not only did she not copse, but she also personally created another business miracle.

    At this moment, in Beijing, Xuan Li frowned when he heard the information reported by his subordinate. ¡°The opening ceremony is held normally? What about our people?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know where he went,¡± the subordinate replied fearfully. ¡°Since eight this morning, we¡¯ve lost contact with all our people. They might be controlled by Jun Shiling and the rest.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xuan Sheng?!¡± Since the opening ceremony had been sessfully held, it was useless to hesitate now. He was only concerned about Xuan Sheng¡¯s oue.

    ¡°Last night, our people sessfully tricked Xuan Sheng out. He should have discovered him when he attacked. The two of them fell off the cliff during the fight. It had just rained over there, and we haven¡¯t found their corpses yet.¡±

    Xuan Li frowned and knocked on the table hard. ¡°You¡¯re really stupid! You can¡¯t do anything I told you to do!¡±

    The assistant shrank his neck from Xuan Li¡¯s roar. He said carefully, ¡°We¡¯ve already sent arge number of people to look for him.¡±

    ¡°What are you looking for?!¡± Xuan Li looked at his assistant angrily. ¡°Quick, pull them back. Do you think Jun Shiling can¡¯t find enough evidence??¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll get someone toe back immediately,¡± the assistant said as he quickly retreated.

    Xuan Li looked at the lights outside the window and frowned.

    It was fine if the opening ceremony seeded, but Xuan Sheng had to die.

    At this moment, in Linxi, the people Lin Jing brought were also doing their best to search for Xuan Sheng. However, after searching for an entire day, they could not find any information.

    Hearing Lin Jing¡¯s report, Jun Shiling pondered for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll go and greet the officials in the nearby city and get them to help look for him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Jing nodded respectfully, a hint of regret shing across his eyes.

    The city beside Linxi was dozens of kilometers downstream of the river. If they found Xuan Sheng there, Xuan Sheng would basically have no chance of survival.

    They still had to ask them to find him, but Lin Jing hoped that there would be no news from them.

    At ten that night, Jun Shiling was feeding Xia Wanyuan medicine when his phone rang. He nced at the number and his eyes darkened.

    Jun Shiling quietly let Xia Wanyuan finish the medicine, then helped her sit on the bed. ¡°Rest for a while. I¡¯ll wash up.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan yawned, pulled the nket over, andy down.

    Jun Shiling walked to the bathroom with his phone and pressed the answer button.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I found Xuan Sheng.¡± Lin Jing¡¯s voice was low.

    Jun Shiling subconsciously frowned. ¡°Where did you find him?¡±

    ¡°Downstream,¡± Lin Jing said simply, exining everything.

    Jun Shiling frowned even more. Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still confirmed it again. ¡°Life and death?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Jing sighed softly.

    Although Xuan Sheng and he were love rivals, Jun Shiling did not look happy at all when he heard this news. He replied in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t let the news reach her ears.¡±

    Lin Jing naturally knew who Jun Shiling was talking about. He nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already instructed all the staff around Madam. No one will leak the news.¡±

 Chapter 1364 - 1364 Mysterious Box

    1364 Mysterious Box

    Jun Shiling received the news. Soon, the news about Xuan Sheng spread to Beijing.

    After confirming it with his subordinate three times, Xuan Li still had suspicions. Xuan Sheng was so cunning. How could he be tricked so easily??

    ¡°You saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s corpse?? How did you confirm it?¡±

    The subordinate handed a report to Xuan Li. ¡°CEO Xuan, Xuan Sheng¡¯s corpse was taken away by Jun Shiling. We didn¡¯t see his corpse with our own eyes, but we bribed the forensic doctor over there. After appraisal, he¡¯s indeed dead.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Having suffered too many losses at Xuan Sheng¡¯s hands, Xuan Li did not dare to easily believe the news from Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Really, under normal circumstances, we definitely can¡¯t do anything to Xuan Sheng. However, this time, he had just recovered from a serious illness. Before his injuries recovered, he ran to Linxi. That night, it was heavy rain again, exacerbating the cracking of his wound. He was no match for our people and rolled out with them. This should be the reason why he fell off the cliff.¡±

    Hearing his assistant¡¯s exnation, Xuan Li seemed to finally understand and was enlightened. ¡°You¡¯re right. It¡¯s normal for his body to be pulled down the cliff. In other words, the Xuan family ispletely mine?¡±

    The gloominess of the past few days was finally swept away. Xuan Li sat on the sofa with an uncontroble smile on his face. ¡°Well done. Go down and receive the reward. Everyone has a share.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. Thank you, CEO Xuan!¡± Hearing that there was a bonus, the subordinate was extremely excited and shook off hisints and dissatisfaction with Xuan Li.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the hotel in Linxi City, it was still raining outside the window. The raindrops hit the ss window, leaving a water stain.

    After sleeping for more than an hour, Xia Wanyuan woke up. She lifted the nket and was about to get out of bed when Jun Shiling draped a coat over her shoulders.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling and got out of bed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go eat.¡±

    ¡°By the way, is there any news from Xuan Sheng?¡± Xia Wanyuan had just lifted the nket when she thought of Xuan Sheng. ¡°Have you found him?¡±

    As Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan put on her socks, he shook his head. ¡°Not yet. I¡¯ve already sent more people.¡±

    ¡°Okay, remember to tell me if you find him.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Just as the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door. Lin Jing walked in with someone behind him. ¡°CEO Jun, Madam, this is the captain of the archeological team.¡±

    ¡°Hello.¡± Xia Wanyuan stood up and greeted the captain.

    ¡°Hello, CEO Jun. Hello, Madam.¡± Facing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, the captain was very ufortable. His hand trembled as he took out a small box with gems from the box he was carrying.

    ¡°This is?¡± Looking at the small box, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was very familiar. She recalled in her mind and reached out to flip the front of the box. What she saw shocked her.

    Because this box was a gift from her mother back then. She said that she wanted to use it as her dowry.

    ¡°This was discovered under the coffin when we were cleaning up thest batch of cultural relics. Because it was buried deep under the soil, no one noticed it. I saw that the box was quite intact, so I sent it to you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it, then nodded at the captain. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll get someone to bring you some rewardster. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    ¡°No, no.¡± The captain hurriedly waved his hand. ¡°Madam, you¡¯re too kind. Then Madam, go ahead. I still have a pile of things to clean up. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the captain left, Xia Wanyuan gave Jun Shiling a look. Jun Shiling turned to leave and quickly walked in with two protective suits.

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s help, Xia Wanyuan put on the protective suit, then ced her hand on the box and unsealed the mechanism ording to the previous method.

    As her fingers moved, after a few clicks, the box was really opened.

    A roll of bamboo slipsy quietly in the box.

    Xia Wanyuan picked it up and took a look. It was already very old. The entire bamboo slip was not carved with words, but a few crooked curves.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at it for a long time but could not understand what these curves meant.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. ¡°Do you understand? Is there any special meaning to what¡¯s drawn here?¡±

    Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°Who drew this?¡±

    ¡°My younger brother.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gazended at the end of the curve. Emperor Xia Yuan had a very subtle habit. Every time he drew a line, it would subconsciously circle back at the end, forming a small dot at the end. The lines on this bamboo slip happened to be Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s habit of drawing things.

    Jun Shiling focused his gaze on the bamboo slip again. After a while, he suddenly said, ¡°Is it some kind of map?¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan looked at the bamboo slip again. There were a few crooked curves. It was fine to call it a map, but there were no references or annotations on it. It was impossible to tell what kind of map it was.

    ¡°How strange. Why is this in this box?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at the box and then at the confused bamboo slip.

    This box had been crafted for her by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s parents at a high price back then. From the moment this box was given to her, it had always followed her. Even though theyter wandered among the people, there were countless times when Xia Wanyuan wanted to pawn it, but in the end, she still kept it.

    This gem box was quite precious to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wei must know very well, but the fact that he had ced a roll of bamboo slips in it meant that the bamboo slip was quite important.

    But what was important? Xia Wanyuan thought for a long time but could not understand.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was frowning more and more, Jun Shiling ced the bamboo slip back in the box, locked it, and ced it in the safe at the side. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s always a way out. Since you can¡¯t find it now, don¡¯t look for it. You¡¯ll find out one day.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate anymore. She went out to eat with Jun Shiling. While the two of them were eating, the Inte was already in chaos.

    The reason was Xuan Sheng.

    After Xuan Li received the news, he found someone to publicize it.

    Arge number of marketing ounts began to repost the Weibo post mourning Xuan Sheng. ¡°CEO Xuan, rest in peace.¡±

    When they saw these Weibo posts, theizens broke down. They thought that it could not be the Xuan Sheng they knew, right??

    However, when they clicked on it, they realized that it was really the person who had appeared in their minds. Everyone was shocked.

    [ What the hell?? Xuan Sheng?? Is there a mistake? ]

    [ If you spread rumors, you will have to pay legal responsibility. Let me tell you!!! ]

 Chapter 1365 - 1365 Man-made Fire

    1365 Man-made Fire

    Theizens¡¯ reaction was quite intense. Many people even reported this user.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t believe me. Xuan Sheng is a partner in the Moon Bay project, but he wasn¡¯t around at the opening ceremony at all. Also, you can ask the people from the Glory World Corporation if Xuan Sheng has beenpletely out of contact these few days. Severalrge meetings have been dyed and canceled.¡±

    For example,rge-scale meetings of the corporation would usually be publicized on thepany¡¯s official website. Many people really went to the corporation¡¯s official website to take a look and realized that this person was right.

    In the past few days, several important meetings of the corporation had been postponed or canceled. Furthermore, Xuan Sheng did not appear at the opening ceremony of the Moon Bay project.

    This time, the rumors were more credible.

    [Don¡¯t scare me¡­ How can such a handsome man disappear just like that?]

    [ Often, the things that are least believed will prove to be right in the end. ording to this pattern, I¡¯m a little flustered. I hope CEO Xuan is fine. He¡¯s already miserable enough. Stop torturing him. ]

    [I really didn¡¯t see Xuan Sheng at the Moon Bay project. I thought it was because CEO Jun was also present and he¡¯s avoiding suspicion¡­ Oh my god.]

    Xuan Sheng was already very popr on the Inte. Now that such news had been exposed, it naturally swept through Weibo¡¯s trending topics.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Xuan Sheng¡¯s matter has been leaked online.¡± Lin Jing had also sent people to stop the news from spreading, but it was impossible topletely block public opinion. In the end, he could only watch the news spread.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling knew that public opinion spread quite quickly, so he did not want to me Lin Jing. ¡°Just don¡¯t let Madam know. Go and find out what caused Xuan Sheng¡¯s incident.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Jun Shiling had just hung up when Xia Wanyuan walked in with a few camellia flowers with water droplets in her hand.

    ¡°There¡¯s too much rain in Linxi.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed the camellia to Jun Shiling. ¡°But this flower blooms quite well.¡±

    Jun Shiling took the flowers and ced Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand in his pocket. ¡°Are you cold?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head and smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Can you help me get something to eat?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling pulled a nket from the side and draped it over Xia Wanyuan, while he walked to the kitchen to busy himself.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s busy figure in the kitchen, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression darkened. She took out her phone and sent Shen Qian a message. A few minutester, Shen Qian replied.

    Looking at the message on her phone, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes paused and she replied to Shen Qian.

    When Jun Shiling walked out with the bowl again, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression had already returned to normal.

    ¡°When are you preparing to return to Beijing?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I miss Xiao Bao.¡±

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°Wait a few more days. I still have something on here.¡±

    There were still many doubts behind Xuan Sheng¡¯s death. With Jun Shiling here, at least many things could go more smoothly.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Aren¡¯t you done?¡±

    ¡°Work-rted matters.¡± Jun Shiling avoided Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not ask further. Worry appeared in her lowered eyes.

    Although Jun Shiling had said that he would wait a few days before leaving, arge number of cultural relics had already begun to be boxed up and taken away in the museum warehouse.

    ¡°Be careful. If you break it, you won¡¯t be able to afford it!¡± The staff packed the cultural relics in an orderly manner and sealed them. Then, they put the sticker aside and waited for the time to be up before loading them into the car.

    Outside the warehouse, the curator brought people to watch the situation. Behind him were a few burly men in ck.

    ¡°Have you seen it clearly? Do you still need me to bring you around to revisit the terrain?¡± The curator raised his umbre and looked at the person beside him. The expensive dial on his wrist was wet from the rain and a string of traces flowed out.

    ¡°No need. It¡¯s clear. Thank you, curator.¡± The burly men nodded at the curator and left with an umbre.

    Standing in front of the warehouse and watching the staff paste the cultural relics in boxes, as the curator of the museum, he naturally knew the value of these things.

    However, he looked down at the expensive watch on his wrist.

    Back then, he had entered the museum because of his passion. However, as time passed, his passion finally subsided. The temptation of life made himpletely stand in the darkness.

    The curator took onest look at the warehouse, then turned to leave.

    That night, the museum in Linxi City caught fire and everything in the warehouse was burned.

    Coincidentally, that night, the tall building furthest from the warehouse caught fire. Arge number of firefighters were transferred to the tall building to save people.

    The fire in the museum burned for the entire night and only stopped the next morning.

    The fire in another tall building was also controlled in the morning, but the high-rise buildingcked fire power to begin with. In addition, there were many people.

    This fire had killed nearly ten people and injured dozens.

    Due to the huge loss, the fire quickly became a trending topic on the news.

    While many people felt sorry for the dead, they also noticed the location of the fire.

    While it was rted to this huge fire, news about the fire in the museum warehouse was also exposed.

    When everyone¡¯s attention gradually shifted to the fire in the museum warehouse, everyone realized that this was too strange.

    The warehouse was connected to the museum in front, but the warehouse had been reduced to ashes and the museum was intact. On the night of the incident, there was actually no staff in the warehouse, so there was no damage, other than those cultural relics.

    From the looks of it, the fire in the warehouse was more like a deliberate arson.

    At this moment, a teacher from Nancheng University stood up.

    ¡°It¡¯s really strange. I just contacted Qing University and asked our school¡¯s teachers to go and observe and learn tomorrow. We haven¡¯t even gone, why did the thing burn up first?? Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡±

    The timing and tone of this Weibo post were too subtle. It was impossible not to think of conspiracy theories.

    [I have a bold idea¡­ Isn¡¯t everyone saying that the fire was man-made?? Is Qing University afraid that the people from Nancheng University will find out something, so they decided to burn it down?]

    [Looking at the Nancheng University professor¡¯s tone, I think our guess should be about right???]

    Theizens said it, but there was no evidence until the Linxi City police released an official notice.

    The specific content of the report was that the fire in the warehouse was indeed man-made.

 Chapter 1366 - 1366 Deeper

    1366 Deeper

    At this moment, Qing University and Xia Wanyuan fell into everyone¡¯s suspicious gazes.

    Public opinion gradually fermented, and in the end, it was forced to the Qing University. However, the Qing University had always been stable. No matter what public opinion said, Principal Yang leisurely stood in front. After sending a statement asking them not to believe the rumors, he devoted himself to normal curriculum research.

    Nancheng University had finally resolved a huge problem. They were even more confident in their words. Their words were hinting that Qing University and Xia Wanyuan had deliberately faked it and hidden the evidence.

    Considering Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health, the news that had been transmitted to her had been filtered. The outside world was in an uproar, but Xia Wanyuan sat peacefully by the window and watched the rain.

    Jun Shiling sat at a table not far away and handled his work. asionally, he would look up at Xia Wanyuan.

    After some time, Xia Wanyuan suddenly said, ¡°I want to see Xuan Sheng.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was holding the pen paused. ¡°He¡¯s already left Linxi.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Xia Wanyuan replied and did not continue. There was no obvious change in her expression, but Jun Shiling could not continue reading the document anymore.

    He knew that even if he wanted to hide many things from Xia Wanyuan, with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s intelligence, it was impossible to hide them.

    The room fell silent.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Continent F, Chu Yi went to the tunnel to take a look at the young man in the coffin as usual. He prayed silently ording to the prayer method passed down by his family before walking out of the tunnel to wash up.

    Just as he walked into the room, the butler knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Young Master, Miss Su can walk on the ground. She wants to see you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi strode to the side and entered Su Yao¡¯s room.

    Behind Chu Yi, the butler sighed and shook his head. He really did not know what Chu Yi wanted to do.

    If I said that he liked Su Yao, I could not tell what he liked about her. However, if he did not like her, why did he keep her by his side and even let Su Yao stay in his bedroom? In the past, no woman could receive such treatment.

    In the bedroom, hearing themotion at the door, Su Yao turned around and nced at Chu Yi. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Yi walked over and hugged Su Yao¡¯s waist. ¡°It¡¯s good that you can walk on the ground. Take good care of yourself.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Su Yao nodded and wrapped her arms around Chu Yi¡¯s neck. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Su Yao¡¯s eyes were good-looking and gentle. When she smiled and looked at people, it made one feel like they were her entire world.

    Being looked at by Su Yao like this, Chu Yi¡¯s expression softened a little. ¡°Rest well. I¡¯ll go to work first.¡±

    Su Yao nodded, but she did not let go of Chu Yi. Her eyes were filled with reluctance.

    Sensing Su Yao¡¯s attachment, a hint of doting appeared in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Why do I feel that you¡¯ve be even more clingy after you woke up?¡±

    Su Yao blinked shyly. ¡°Didn¡¯t Young Master say that I can make requests from you when I wake up?¡±

    ¡°Oh? Then what request do you have? Tell me.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s hand stroked Su Yao¡¯s back. Gradually, the temperature between the two increased.

    ¡°I want Young Master to apany me more.¡± Su Yao¡¯s beautiful almond-shaped eyes were curved as she looked at Chu Yi with attachment and obvious admiration.

    Chu Yi¡¯s heart skipped a beat under this gaze. He reached out and tapped the tip of Su Yao¡¯s nose. ¡°Naughty. I¡¯ll satisfy you. Come to the study with me to work, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Yao nodded.

 Chapter 1367 - 1367 Bond

    1367 Bond

    It was different from before. In the past, when Su Yao came to the study, Chu Yi had never allowed her to stay here for long.

    After all, Chu Yi¡¯s study was the most important ce in the Chu family. Usually, no one could approach it.

    Su Yao followed Chu Yi to the desk. Chu Yi took a stack of documents and read them in front of Su Yao. ¡°Ah Yao, tell me if you feel unwell.¡±

    Su Yao smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    !!

    The study gradually fell silent. Chu Yi held Su Yao¡¯s hand with one hand and kept flipping through the documents in front of him with the other.

    Su Yao sat quietly at the side and asionally handed Chu Yi a teacup.

    In the courtyard, through the window, he saw the scene in the study from afar. The butler shook his head helplessly. He looked at the middle-aged man in a long robe. ¡°Sir, what do you think this young master is thinking? Is he really in love with this Miss Su?¡±

    It was really strange. When Chu Yi took Feng Wuyou¡¯s corpse back from America, his expression was still fierce.

    Old Master wanted to prevent Chu Yi from being too affectionate to Feng Wuyou and dying his great undertaking, so he wanted him to search for beauties everywhere to divert Chu Yi¡¯s attention.

    Now, Chu Yi¡¯s attention had been diverted, but the butler felt that something was wrong. Wasn¡¯t Chu Yi too good to Su Yao?

    That was a study that no one could approach.

    The middle-aged man in the long robe was not as worried as the butler. He stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile. ¡°You underestimate Young Master.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The butler wanted to ask the middle-aged man a few more questions, but the middle-aged man had already turned around and left, leaving the butler looking at the loving scene in the study with a puzzled expression.

    At this moment, in the VIP room at Continent F¡¯s airport, Yu Qian was standing in front of the French window and looking at the ne leaving in the distance.

    ¡°Boss, why did you let Wei Zimu return to China?¡± Actually, what Jayce really wanted to ask was that Yu Qian clearly did not want Wei Zimu to leave, but he still agreed in the end.

    Yu Qian looked at the sky quietly. ¡°If he wants to go back himself, can I tie him up?¡±

    Jayce was filled with confusion. Wasn¡¯t kidnapping Wei Zimu the best solution?? However, he did not dare to ask further.

    The distant ne gradually disappeared from his sight. Yu Qian retracted his gaze. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jayce followed Yu Qian back. He had followed Yu Qian like this thousands of times, but never had he felt that Yu Qian was more lonely.

    However, this time, even someone as rough as Jayce seemed to feel Yu Qian¡¯s loneliness.

    Jayce could not help but look back at the ne that had already flown out of Continent F.

    He was thinking that the underground base was built by Yu Qian alone to build his own underground kingdom.

    However, did Yu Qian really enjoy the loneliness of the underground kingdom?? He kept Wei Zimu around time and time again. Other than revenge, perhaps¡­

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Yu Qian turned around and looked at Jayce unhappily.

    Jayce hurriedly shook off his thoughts and followed Yu Qian closely.

    On the ne from Continent F to China, Wei Zimu quietly looked at the ground that was gradually leaving.

    It was said that brothers had a strong telepathy, so Wei Zimu could naturally sense Yu Qian¡¯s emotions.

    Back then, Yu Qian was the younger brother who followed him the most.

    Now¡­

    Wei Zimu sighed softly and took out his phone to send Yu Qian a message. ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a month.¡±

    In the underground base, Jayce was following Yu Qian in. Caught off guard, Yu Qian suddenly stopped. He nced at his phone. Jayce could clearly feel that Yu Qian¡¯s mood seemed to be much better than before.

    At that moment, the two of them were at the entrance of the underground base. On one side was the sunlight on the ground, and on the other was the darkness in the base. Yu Qian was standing at the intersection on both sides, his eyes flickering.

    In the end, he walked into the base. ¡°Go to Continent O and invite Professor Peter over.¡±

    ¡°Professor Peter?¡± Jayce repeated uncertainly. ¡°The botanist?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian adjusted the sses on his eyes. ¡°I want to nt lotus petals in the base, so I want to get him to help.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Jayce was a little stunned.

    Lotus petal orchids? That thing was expensive and delicate. It might not even be able to be raised in the most suitable environment. This underground base waspletely filled with artificial sunlight. How could one raise orchids?

    Furthermore¡­ orchids¡­

    Jayce remembered that Yu Qian had never seemed to be interested in flowers. On the other hand, Wei Zimu liked to draw all sorts of mountains, rivers, and flowers and was very interested in these things.

    Jayce shook his head secretly. ¡°Okay, Boss. I¡¯ll get someone to go to America and bring Professor Peter over now.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Yu Qian replied calmly and walked deeper into the base.

    At this moment, in Linxi, after a few days of rain, the weather began to clear up again. All sorts of flowers fell to the ground in the courtyard. Xia Wanyuan gently stroked her stomach and looked at Jun Shiling, who was not far away.

    ¡°CEO Jun, this is the exact situation. We¡¯ve already transferred everything to Beijing. It¡¯s not damaged.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded and looked in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s direction. He met her gaze and smiled at her.

    ¡°Do you need to rify?¡± Lin Jing was not very sure. After all, in the past few days, rumors about the fire had spread everywhere, and Nancheng University had taken quite a big step. If this continued, it would probably damage Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reputation.

    ¡°In two days.¡± Jun Shiling thought for a while and finally replied, ¡°Wait a while more.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After Lin Jing left, Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Everything has been transferred to Beijing. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I want to return to Beijing.¡±

    ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll be back tomorrow.¡± Jun Shiling gently patted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    That night, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were packing their things when their subordinate came to report. ¡°Madam, there¡¯s a gentleman outside who said he¡¯s here to look for you.¡±

    ¡°Let him in.¡±

    Soon, the subordinate led someone in.

    Seeing Wei Zimu, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Why are you back in China?¡±

    Wei Zimu smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I came back for something, so I came to visit you.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded at Wei Zimu, then looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After Jun Shiling left the room, Wei Zimu took out the gifts he had brought for Xia Wanyuan from his luggage. ¡°I came in a hurry. These are all jewelry and diamonds I got from all over Continent F. I know you don¡¯tck these things, but it¡¯s a token of my appreciation.¡±

 Chapter 1368 - 1368 War

    1368 War

    Xia Wanyuan took the jewelry. They were all very beautiful and expensive. It was obvious that they had been carefully chosen by Wei Zimu. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan. He had clearly returned to China to see her, but now that he was sitting in front of her, Wei Zimu did not know what to say.

    ¡°Are you doing well in Continent F?¡± Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xia Wanyuan was the first to raise a topic.

    ¡°Not bad¡­¡±

    When he was in Continent F, Wei Zimu did not have anyone to talk to. Now that he saw Xia Wanyuan, Wei Zimu had countless things to say.

    It was as if he had been in a foreign country for many years and was so excited to see his family for the first time.

    Wei Zimu left the hotel two hourster. Although Xia Wanyuan had said that she wanted him to stay for dinner, Wei Zimu had rejected her.

    Jun Shiling walked into the room. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her. ¡°What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to grab Jun Shiling¡¯s hand. ¡°Wei Zimu just told me that he came to China to do the cultural relic business.¡±

    Wei Zimu¡¯s question was stiff, let alone the content of this business.

    Cultural relics? When did he change professions to this?

    Jun Shiling was not surprised at all. ¡°The prophecy has already spread in many ces. This excavation of the ancient tomb has attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    However, the person standing behind Wei Zimu should be Yu Qian. Yu Qian was also involved?

    In an instant, thousands of thoughts shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s heart.

    However, it was one thing for him to think about it himself. Xia Wanyuan was about to be due. Jun Shiling did not want her to worry anymore. He reached out and covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Alright, rest early.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked. Her eyshes fluttered in Jun Shiling¡¯s palm, making Jun Shiling¡¯s heart itch.

    The next morning, Jun Shiling and the rest returned to Beijing.

    Although their people had left, the fire was still pushed by someone with an inexplicable rtionship with Xia Wanyuan.

    Until the Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo posted a Weibo post.

    @ Jun Corporation¡¯s official Weibo: ¡°We¡¯ve already submitted the relevant evidence to the relevant departments regarding the fire. We will retain the right to pursue thements that ndered ourdy boss online.¡±

    [ ??? Why are you so unyielding? If you have evidence, show it to everyone. I also want to know if Xia Wanyuan is as despicable as the Inte says. ]

    [ The Jun Corporation is still the domineering one. They directly stood up to defend thedy boss. I want to ask if you can directly sue those who spread rumors? They¡¯re simply too much. ]

    Not long after the Jun Corporation posted on Weibo, some professors from Nancheng University also posted a post criticizing ¡°capital control together¡±.

    The matter became bigger and bigger.

    Nancheng University and Qing University had been at odds for so many years. Now, because of the fire, they had started fighting online again.

    Just as everyone was arguing enthusiastically, a trending topic suddenly upied everyone¡¯s attention.

 Chapter 1369 - 1369 No Regrets

    1369 No Regrets

    News of the chaos immediately blocked all the other trending topics and became the focus of everyone¡¯s attention.

    [What¡¯s going on¡­ I have a bad feeling.]

    [Why did this newse out of nowhere? I don¡¯t even understand it. What caused the chaos?]

    [The shorter the news, the bigger the matter. I feel that something big has happened.]

    At this moment, not only were theizens anxious, but Bo Xiao, who was scrolling through Weibo at home, was also anxious. As a soldier, this was thest news he wanted to see.

    An Rao walked over with Xiao Qingli in her arms. ¡°Bo Xiao, listen to Qingli talk.¡±

    Bo Xiao did not react for a moment. When he reacted, he quickly turned off his phone. However, An Rao still saw some news.

    She was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to see it and ced Xiao Qingli in Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°Hug him.¡±

    Bo Xiao took the child. Sensing his father¡¯s aura, Xiao Qingli waved at Bo Xiao and smiled at him. ¡°Daddy ~¡±

    Xiao Qingli called him Daddy incoherently. Bo Xiao¡¯s expression softened and he gently kissed Xiao Qingli on the head. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    In the past year, Bo Xiao had been apanying An Rao and Xiao Qingli at home. Xiao Qingli and Bo Xiao were even closer than An Rao.

    Bo Xiao yed with Xiao Qingli for a while before she fell asleep. Bo Xiao carried him into the bedroom. When he came out again, An Rao was sitting on the sofa and scrolling through Weibo.

    ¡°Bo Xiao.¡± An Rao looked up and extended a hand to Bo Xiao.

    Bo Xiao pulled An Rao back. ¡°Mm, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Go ahead,¡± An Rao suddenly said.

    Bo Xiao was stunned. ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°You know what I¡¯m talking about.¡± An Rao looked at Bo Xiao quietly. ¡°Xiao Qingli is already growing up. There¡¯s no problem with me bringing him myself.¡±

    Bo Xiao tightened his grip on An Rao¡¯s hand. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say¡­¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± An Rao pursed her lips. ¡°I hope you don¡¯t have any regrets.¡±

    Bo Xiao was silent and did not speak again.

    ¡°Go ahead,¡± An Rao said again. ¡°I don¡¯t have any requirements for you, Bo Xiao. I hope you¡¯re happy.¡±

    She and Bo Xiao had both stumbled over. An Rao knew better than anyone that Bo Xiao was a person with light in his heart.

    She had been attracted by this light back then. She did not want this light to be extinguished.

    Bo Xiao did not say anything. He only reached out and pulled An Rao into his arms, kissing her affectionately on the cheek.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already returned home. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao rushed over happily. ¡°Mommy.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao¡¯s head. ¡°Did you listen to Great-grandfather obediently?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm, his big eyes filled with longing.

    Jun Shiling stood at the side and watched this scene quietly, his eyes slightly warm.

    At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up and saw that it was Bo Xiao.

    ¡°Hello? Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Bo Xiao is looking for me for something. I¡¯m going out.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When he arrived at the ce Bo Xiao had mentioned, Jun Shiling pushed open the door. Bo Xiao was dressed in a military uniform and was standing quietly in front of the window.

    Jun Shiling was not very surprised. He only asked, ¡°Have you thought about it?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao turned around. ¡°No matter what others say about me, at least I want to have a clear conscience.¡±

    ¡°Okay, when are you leaving?¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow.¡±

    At this moment, in the southwest, other than chaos, there was an inexplicable illness quietly spreading among everyone.

 Chapter 1370 - 1370 Leaving

    1370 Leaving

    When Bo Xiao left, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sent him off.

    ¡°Take care.¡± Jun Shiling ced his hand on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder and patted it gently. ¡°Remember to contact us if anything happens.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao nodded and looked at An Rao. ¡°Please help me take care of An Rao.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t take care of An Rao. It¡¯s better if youe back safely and take good care of her.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Bo Xiao. ¡°An Rao should only want your care.¡±

    Although Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were smiling, the atmosphere between the few of them seemed a little dull. Xiao Qingli seemed to have sensed the aura of parting and kept moaning.

    It was only when he was hugged by Bo Xiao that he finally calmed down. His bright eyes sized up the stars on Bo Xiao¡¯s hat curiously.

    Bo Xiao looked at Xiao Qingli for a while and finally lowered his head to kiss him. ¡°Wait for Daddy toe back.¡±

    With that, Bo Xiao returned Xiao Qingli to An Rao, leaned over, and kissed her before turning to leave.

    Watching Bo Xiao leave, An Rao, who had been holding back her tears, finally could not take it anymore. Her eyes were red as she carried Xiao Qingli and followed Bo Xiao.

    However, Bo Xiao left too quickly. The distance between An Rao and Bo Xiao widened. In the end, she could only watch Bo Xiao¡¯s back disappear at the boarding gate.

    Xia Wanyuan walked forward and gently patted An Rao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go. You can stay in the manor for the time being.¡±

    An Rao turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Yuan Yuan, Bo Xiao wille back safely, right?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°You and Xiao Qingli are waiting for him. Of course he¡¯lle back safely.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke to An Rao, she yed with Xiao Qingli.

    Not far away, a camera recorded the scene just now. Soon, the news of Bo Xiao returning to the team spread to all the major social tforms.

    ¡°I still remember that when Bo Xiao retired from the military, I secretly cried for a long time. Do I see hope again now? Bo Xiao is wearing his military uniform again. Has he returned to the team?¡±

    [ This photo? Beijing Airport? Where is Bo Xiao going?? Honestly speaking, a man is really handsome in that shirt. If not for An Rao by his side, I would have started dreaming. ]

    [ Didn¡¯t something happen in the southwest? I feel that Bo Xiao should have been transferred to the southwest? ]

    [ Damn, back then, I even scolded Bo Xiao like the wind. I hope that he would return safely. I owe him an apology. I hope that everyone who is protecting us ahead can be safe. ]

    An Rao followed Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling back to the manor. Xiao Bao was quite happy to see Xiao Qingli and took the initiative to take care of his brother.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body was getting more and more inconvenient. She leanedzily on the sofa every day. An Rao came over to apany her to relieve her boredom.

    After being in Linxi for so long, there was a lot of backlog in Beijing. Jun Shiling was even busier than before.

    Ever since the original Jiang family fell, the forces in Beijing had changed in the past few months.

    Jiang Yun fully disyed her ability and gradually stabilized her footing with the new Jiang family. Then, she became the new team leader of the Jun family.

    Two tigers could not share one mountain. Back then, in order to take down Jiang Kui, Jiang Yun could work with Jun Shiling. Now, for her own sake, Jiang Yun stood opposite Jun Shiling again.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Jiang Yun has quietened down recently.¡± In the office, Lin Jing was reporting to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling was not surprised. Some time ago, in order topletely reform the Jiang family corporation, Jiang Yun had used a lot of methods. However, as a manager, there was a limit to what she could do. Now, she was relieved.

    ¡°Also, the Xuan family has begun to merge thepanies and projects under Xuan Sheng.¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s death was a devastating blow to his entirepany.

    Originally, Xuan Li had beenpeting with Xuan Sheng for a long time. Now that something had happened to Xuan Sheng, Xuan Li seemed to have gone crazy and was crazily collecting the businesses under Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± To Lin Jing¡¯s surprise, Jun Shiling had such a reaction when he heard this news.

    Although he found it strange, Lin Jing did not say anything. He nodded respectfully. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get someone to arrange it.¡±

    Just as Lin Jing had said, during this period of time, Xuan Li had made a huge move. Even people who had never paid attention to the business world noticed it.

    Not only did Xuan Li wantonly snatch Xuan Sheng¡¯s projects and resources, but he also kept poaching the core members of the Glory World Corporation.

    A month ago, the Glory World Corporation was a corporation that couldpete with the Xuan family. Now, there was only a group of defeated soldiers struggling at death¡¯s door.

    [ When the wall falls, everyone pushes it¡­ When Xuan Sheng was around, how could the Xuan family dare to do this? My heart aches for Xuan Sheng. ]

    [ I still can¡¯t believe that Xuan Sheng is dead¡­ It feels like a dream. In terms of looks, I prefer Xuan Sheng¡­ I keep feeling that Xuan Li doesn¡¯t look like a good person. ]

    [You women are so funny. You only know how to look at faces. So what if Xuan Li isn¡¯t as good-looking as Xuan Sheng? Strength is the best way to prove a man.]

    In the corporation¡¯s office, Xuan Li sat at the front and looked smugly at the staff below.

    ¡°You still don¡¯t believe that Xuan Sheng is dead??¡± Xuan Li yed with the fountain pen in his hand. ¡°Your corporation has already be like this. Do you think Xuan Sheng is back?? If nothing happened to him, will he watch his hard work be destroyed?¡±

    ¡°CEO Xuan.¡± A manager stood up. ¡°Regardless of whether anything happened to our boss, the contract time we signed with thepany is there. Even if I want to leave, I¡¯ll only leave when thepany is really bankrupt.¡±

    Hearing the manager¡¯s words, Xuan Li frowned. ¡°You¡¯re all smart people. I¡¯ll be direct. As long as you leave with me now, I¡¯ll give you double the treatment under Xuan Sheng.¡±

    Hearing Xuan Sheng¡¯s words, a hint of disdain appeared in the manager¡¯s eyes. ¡°CEO Xuan, since you¡¯re straightforward, I¡¯ll be direct too. I definitely won¡¯t leave.¡±

    Xuan Li¡¯s face was filled with displeasure.

    The reason why he had yet topletely subdue Xuan Sheng¡¯s corporation was that there were still a portion of people supporting Xuan Sheng.

    As long as he ate this group of executives down, all the projects on Xuan Sheng¡¯s side could belong to him. However, he did not know what kind of bewitching medicine Xuan Sheng had fed this group of people. No matter what he said, this group of people was stubborn.

    ¡°Whoever is willing toe with me, leave now.¡± Xuan Li stood up. ¡°On the first day youe to thepany with me, I¡¯ll give you the best treatment.¡±

 Chapter 1371 - 1371 Traitor Memories

    1371 Traitor Memories

    With that, Xuan Li walked straight out. Most of the people in the meeting room stayed where they were. A small number of them hesitated for a moment before leaving with Xuan Li.

    When Xuan Li walked out of thepany with his men, a manager made a call.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, Xuan Li came again today and took away a portion of the executives.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± In an extremely confidential hotel in Moon Bay, Xuan Sheng sat in front of the window and fed the fish in the fish tank. ¡°Let him take those people.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then when are youing back, CEO Xuan? If you don¡¯te back soon, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to hold on at thepany. Xuan Li¡¯s momentum is quite fierce.¡±

    Xuan Sheng brushed the bait off his body. ¡°I¡¯ll naturallye back when it¡¯s time.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Xuan Sheng crossed his arms behind his head and leisurely enjoyed the breeze with the fragrance of nts.

    The subordinate handed Xuan Sheng a nket. ¡°CEO Xuan, when are we leaving for Beijing?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry,¡± Xuan Sheng replied calmly without opening his eyes. ¡°Have you found that person?¡±

    ¡°I found him.¡± The subordinate nodded. ¡°Our people followed very secretly and didn¡¯t let him discover any ws.¡±

    From the moment Xuan Li sent people to Linxi, Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng had joined forces to act for him.

    That night, Xuan Sheng did chase after him and trembled with him. However, he carried an anesthetic needle with him. That person was knocked out by a strong anesthetic and his substitute waited at the foot of the cliff.

    The person who was fished upter was a death row criminal who had been brought over from elsewhere.

    With Jun Shiling¡¯s cooperation, the entire matter waspleted seamlessly. No one suspected this.

    The people who cooperated with Xuan Li finally let down their guard and revealed themselves.

    At this moment, Xuan Sheng finally confirmed the person who had beenmunicating closely with Xuan Li.

    So he was the assistant who had been following him.

    Xuan Sheng had never suspected anything before, until thest explosion.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car was parked at the entrance of the corporation. Logically speaking, with bodyguards guarding by the side, no one would have any chance to invade.

    However, in front of everyone, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s car was equipped with a bomb. This meant that there should be someone with power helping Xuan Li in the dark.

    Coincidentally, this opening ceremony was an opportunity. Xuan Sheng yed along and confirmed that person.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Xuan Sheng waved his hand. ¡°Go and do your work. Keep an eye on him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After the assistant left, Xuan Sheng stood in front of the window and pondered.

    Suddenly, a person hurriedly walked past the garden not far away. Xuan Sheng took a look and frowned slightly.

    Wei Zimu? Why was he here?

    Wei Zimu walked hurriedly and quickly disappeared into the garden.

    Xuan Sheng made a call outside before sitting back in his chair and enjoying the time without working or handling documents.

    On the other hand, in the hotel, Wei Zimu hurriedly walked into the room with a bouquet of osmanthus flowers in his hand. He patted the rain on his sleeve and was about to wipe his hair when the phone rang.

    Seeing the caller¡¯s name, Wei Zimu was stunned for a moment. In the end, he held the flowers in one hand and answered the call with the other.

    ¡°Brother, is it done?¡± Yu Qian stood in front of the huge experimental device with one hand in his white coat, looking at the camera quietly.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Zimu nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve sent someone to the ancient tomb to take the photos you wanted. I¡¯ll send them to youter.¡±

    ¡°Well done.¡± Yu Qian nodded in approval. His gaze swept across Wei Zimu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You went out?¡±

    Wei Zimu ced the bouquet of osmanthus flowers in the camera. ¡°Do you remember that Mother used to like to make osmanthus cakes for us the most? Now that China is in full bloom, you used to like it the most¡­¡±

    ¡°Enough.¡± Before Wei Zimu could finish speaking, Yu Qian interrupted him. ¡°Stop this. Don¡¯t tell me you think I still remember what happened before?¡±

 Chapter 1372 - 1372 Map

    1372 Map

    Yu Qian¡¯s words did not affect Wei Zimu. He reached out to brush away the rain on the osmanthus flowers. ¡°These flowers bloom very well. When the weather clears tomorrow, I¡¯ll take the flowers out to dry them. When the timees, I¡¯ll bring them back to make tea for you.¡±

    On the other end of the video, Yu Qian¡¯s expression was very ugly. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡±

    Wei Zimu looked up. ¡°Ah Yuan.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. ¡°Who are you calling? I think you¡¯re confused.¡±

    Wei Zimu smiled faintly. ¡°I¡¯ll go back in a month. What do you want me to bring?¡±

    Yu Qian frowned. ¡°What exactly do you want?¡±

    Over the years, Wei Zimu had been cold to him, but he had changed recently.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you steal the experimental medicine? What do you want to take from me this time? Why don¡¯t you just say it?¡±

    Wei Zimu shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ll take a shower first. If you have anything on, we¡¯ll talkter.¡±

    With that, Wei Zimu hung up.

    This was the first time in so long that Wei Zimu had hung up on Yu Qian. Yu Qian was stunned for a moment before taking his phone away.

    At this moment, Jayce walked over with a pot of orchids. ¡°Boss, these flowers are very delicate. The professor said that it¡¯s very likely that they won¡¯t be able to survive.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s gazended on the pot of orchids. After a while, he finally said, ¡°Think of a way to raise the flowers.¡±

    ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± Jayce still had something to report to Yu Qian. ¡°The Sea Shark got someone to send news that the medicine has been released.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Yu Qian took the orchid from Jayce and walked towards theboratory.

    In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan, who had been silent for a while, posted a new thesis when everyone was caught off guard. It was still aimed at the lost dynasty.

    However,pared to the previous one, the argument was more sufficient.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis, everyone was stunned. Weren¡¯t the cultural relics burnt? Where did this materiale from?

    At the same time, the Linxi officials, who had been silent, finally found out everything.

    Back then, the huge fire was simply caused by someone wanting to attract all the fire forces to the other side of the city and prevent the museum warehouse from being rescued.

    It was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

    As for the cultural relics in the museum warehouse, Xia Wanyuan had already packed them and transported them back to Beijing a long time ago.

    Nancheng University had long received the news and pushed the deputy curator of the museum out as a scapegoat to take all the me.

    Theizens who did not know the truth really thought that the deputy curator was jealous of Xia Wanyuan and used such a despicable move. They criticized the museum like a tide.

    The museum wanted to ask Nancheng University for an exnation, but the Lin family was behind Nancheng University. What could the museum do? In the end, they could only be their scapegoat.

    ¡°Since Nancheng University is so ruthless, we don¡¯t have to care about our friendship.¡± Because they were involved in a huge public opinion storm, the museum was in danger of being sealed. Looking at everything that was declining in front of him, the curator finally made up his mind.

    He got someone to get a safe from the deepest part of the warehouse, then instructed his trusted aide to send the safe to Beijing overnight.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan, who was far away in Beijing, received this special gift.

    Xia Wanyuan opened it and saw aplete set of Eldest Princess clothes and a sheepskin map. The image on it was almost identical to the map dug out from the ancient tomb.

    The only difference was that this one was a detailed version.

 Chapter 1373 - 1373 Slapping the World; Shocking Revenue Ability

    1373 pping the World; Shocking Revenue Ability

    Jun Shiling looked at the map for a while. ¡°This ce looks a little familiar.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the map steadily. ¡°This is the ce where our Great Xia Dynasty built its capital in my previous life.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Where is it now??¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s more than three hundred kilometers away from Beijing.¡± Xia Wanyuan could not remember the exact location. After all, time had changed and many things had changed.

    Since Xia Wei treasured this map so much, there must be something that Xia Wei cared about.

    Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian and instructed him to secretly bring people to find the former location of the capital.

    The matter of the fire had been rified, and the scapegoat of Nancheng University had been pushed out. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arguments became more and moreplete as she wrote one thesis after another.

    Gradually, more and more people began to believe that such a magical dynasty had really appeared in China¡¯s history. It had a magnificent and brilliant culture and had once had tens of thousands of countriese visit.

    In her thesis, Xia Wanyuan exined the structure of this dynasty in detail and the formidable figures.

    The emperors, ministers, and schrs buried in history by the sand gradually came to life from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    [ That Emperor Xia Yuan actually became emperor at the age of sixteen¡­ Xia Wanyuan used the word handsome to describe him. Could it be that I¡¯m going to have another husband? ]

    [ Why do I feel so awkward? I keep feeling that there¡¯s something missing in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thesis. Among so many historical events, why do I feel that an invisible person has been helping them? ]

    [I think so too¡­ There are some things that I can¡¯t understand. Could it be that Emperor Yuan Xia has the help of a god?]

    It was normal for everyone to feel that something was wrong, because in Xia Wei¡¯s tomb, although those cultural relics had all sorts of records of the incident at that time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shadow was hidden in all the records.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know Xia Wei¡¯s intentions, but when she wrote the thesis, she did not expose herself. Hence, in the eyes of many, there was someone who had been hidden in some important events.

    Xia Wanyuan was now a very important expert in China. The things she suggested were also studied seriously by the others.

    Hence, more and more details about the Great Xia Dynasty were found, and the entire history world began to shake.

    During this period of time, other than the newly discovered Great Xia Dynasty pushing Xia Wanyuan to the center of attention, the Moon Bay project had also pushed Xia Wanyuan to the peak of public opinion.

    Because the Moon Bay project was too sessful.

    The glimpse of the opening ceremony impressed everyone.

    At first, everyone felt that the Moon Bay project might only be done well by the environment and food service.

    However, as more and more tourists went to check in, everyone gradually realized that not only was the Moon Bay project done well in all sorts of details, but it had also quietly be popr in China.

    Chinese culture was not very prevalent among the younger generation in China. After all, most people now admired Western culture. Everyone felt that China¡¯s native culture was too old and a little ipatible with this modern society.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had unintentionally aroused everyone¡¯s interest by imnting cultural silhouettes in the various small details of the Moon Bay project.

    When everyone took a boat to tour the beautiful scenery of the Wind Lotus Garden, the drizzle fluttered. An oil-paper umbre beside them was opened, and an ink painting of mountains and rivers spread out on it. There were mountains and rivers in front of them, and when they looked up, they saw mountains and rivers. Only people in it could understand such a concept.

    At thentern festival, they walked forward along the tens of thousands ofnterns. Not far away, fireflies flew past. The small fan they had casually taken from the stall was the famous Su embroidery. The exquisite embroidery glowed under the light.

    ........

    This kind of beauty that was filled all the time crossed national borders and culture.

    Everyone felt that it was beautiful, and their desire to spend increased. Although the tours and food included in the tickets were free, the various goods in the scenic area were charged.

    The market that everyone could not open even if they racked their brains was opened by this beauty that they had inadvertently created.

    There was no need to mention the excitement and fanaticism of domestic consumers. Those foreign tourists who knew nothing about Chinese culture because of the Chinese and Western cultural barrier were willing to spend money to buy these unfamiliar things because they had personally experienced the beauty.

    In China, many old skills and products that were originally on the verge of extinction had unknowingly be ¡°Chinese Inte celebrity products¡± in the hearts of foreign tourists.

    While the Moon Bay project became popr with arge number of cultural heritage, its revenue ability was also shockingly high.

    Not to mention China¡¯s tourism industry, even the world¡¯s tourism industry was shocked by this project that was originally not thought highly of.

 Chapter 1374 Princess Tomb

    The familiar amusement park models overseas were all based on Disney. China''s amusement parks had never been famous in the world.

    Because of Xia Wanyuan''s reputation, the Moon Bay project had received a lot of attention from the beginning. Now that it had achieved a huge sess, it attracted the attention of the world.

    The Moon Bay project itself was of high quality and could attract many foreign tourists. As more and more tourists went to Moon Bay, the reputation here became more and more famous.

    In less than a month, the Moon Bay project had changed from a failed marketing case to a paradise project that was as famous as Disnend in the world.

    In this month, Shen Qian had also brought people to walk through the entire northwest region of China. In the end, in a deserted desert, he found an area that was more simr to the scenery drawn on the map.

    Jun Shiling quickly sent more people over. An entire team of experts conducted aprehensive exploration and excavation of the desert.

    In the end, everyone came to a shocking conclusion.

    In the depths of this desert, there should be an ancient tomb hidden. The scale of this ancient tomb was nearly ten timesrger than Longqi Mountain.

    When the news returned to Beijing, for some reason, Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Looking at the photo Shen Qian had sent back, Xia Wanyuan frowned.

    "I have a strange idea."

    "I have one too." Looking at the photo in Xia Wanyuan''s hand, Jun Shiling''s eyes darkened.

    "Say it together?" Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    Jun Shiling nodded and said his thoughts. "Your tomb."

    Xia Wanyuan said at the same time, "My tomb."

    In the environment at that time, the reason why this could be protected by Xia Wei, letting him to build such a huge tomb must be because the owner of this tomb had a noble statusparable to Emperor Xia Yuan.

    In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, other than Xia Wanyuan, no one else had such treatment.<novelnext>  </novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan tightened her grip on the photo. "What do you think will be dug out?"

    Would my corpse be there? If so, what am I now?

    Jun Shiling looked into Xia Wanyuan''s eyes seriously. "Do you want to see what''s inside? If not, let''s pretend we never saw this news."

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Mm."

    She had to understand why she hade and why the Great Xia Dynasty had been destroyed. As for her younger brother, could he be resurrected as the prophecy had said?

    At this moment, on a coast in Continent M, a ck-robed man was lying under a tree. Someone respectfully brought the water over.

    The ck-robed man took the water and one did not see how his mouth moved, but he only saw the water disappear into a ck cloth.

    "How''s the situation in China?" The ck-robed man''s voice was hoarse, as if the old door had suddenly been pushed open, emitting a heavy historical aura.

    "Xia Wanyuan has sessfully found the location of the desert. From the looks of it, they should start digging the ancient tomb soon."

    "Mm." The ck-robed man waved his sleeve. "You can leave first."

    "Okay."

    When the surroundingspletely fell silent, the ck-robed man raised a small corner of his mask.

    What was surprising was that the face under the scarf was filled with potholes. It looked extremely terrifying.

    The corners of the ck-robed man''s lips curled up slightly and he let out a strangeugh.

    "Xia Wanyuan, Great Xia Dynasty, it''s time for you to pay with your lives."

 Chapter 1375 - 1375 Honorable

    1375 Honorable

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had no intention of hiding the news of the new ancient tomb from the outside world. In addition, countless pairs of eyes were staring over. Soon, the location of the ancient tomb was leaked.

    In Continent F, in the Chu family, Su Yao was sitting on Chu Yi¡¯sp and reading documents with him.

    ncing at the news about the ancient tomb, Su Yao was a little surprised. ¡°What is this?¡±

    Chu Yi flipped through it. ¡°There¡¯s a legend that there¡¯s arge amount of wealth and treasures in an ancient tomb. Perhaps this is what they found.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± The weather was a little hot, so Su Yao fanned Chu Yi with a fan.

    ¡°Perhaps.¡± Chu Yi nced at Su Yao and suddenly reached out to grab her waist. He leaned down and kissed her.

    ¡°Young Master ~¡± Su Yao struggled.

    At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

    Chu Yi was a little unhappy that his interest was dampened. ¡°Who is it?¡±

    ¡°Young Master Chu, it¡¯s me.¡± A deep middle-aged man¡¯s voice sounded outside the door.

    Chu Yi straightened his back and nced at Su Yao. ¡°Go back and wait for me first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Su Yao stood up and walked out. When she passed by the door, she nced at the middle-aged man in a long robe.

    After Su Yao leftpletely, the man in the long robe walked in and locked the door.

    ¡°Sir, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve found a new batch of words in the tomb over the past few days and made a shocking discovery.¡± The man in the long robe handed the document in his hand to Chu Yi. ¡°Take a look.¡±

    The documentpared the contents printed from the ancient tomb bamboo slip. It showed that the key sacred artifact that could revive Emperor Yuan Xia was in the tomb of another noble person.

    ¡°So, the ce Xia Wanyuan and the rest discovered is very likely the ce where the sacred artifact is stored?¡± After reading the information, Chu Yi frowned slightly.

    ¡°That¡¯s what the information says. We have to send someone over. If Xia Wanyuan takes the initiative, it¡¯ll be difficult for us.¡±

    ¡°Go there yourself.¡± Chu Yi looked at the man in the long robe. ¡°I¡¯m worried about the others.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    At this moment, on a mountain not far from the Chu family, a hidden telescope was facing the Chu family¡¯s residence.

    His phone was vibrating. Xia Yu picked up the phone from behind the binocrs. ¡°What instructions do you have?¡±

    ¡°Is there anything unusual?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Yu reported the situation truthfully. ¡°The thing is still in Chu Yi¡¯s house. No one moved it.¡±

    A few months ago, Xia Yu had bid farewell to Xia Wanyuan ande to Continent F to look for Lin Yi.

    However, after searching for a long time, there was no news of Lin Yi. Just as Xia Yu was about to return to China, he suddenly received an order from his superior.

    The higher-ups had instructed that the main coffin in the ancient tomb on Long Qi Mountain was hidden in the Chu family¡¯s residence. Xia Yu immediately epted the mission and waited for Chu Yi¡¯s movements day and night.

    ¡°Continue to observe. Report to us if anything happens.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    In China, with the support of detailed evidence from Xia Wanyuan, there was basically a conclusion to the debate about the existence of the Great Xia Dynasty. The domestic history world tacitly agreed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words were right.

    In China¡¯s history, there had indeed been a short dynasty.

    The history world was busy clearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name, but they could not invite her to give a speech.

    It was not because Xia Wanyuan did not have time. She had been free recently, but it was almost her due date.

    Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan almost 24 hours a day. Not to mention attending a speech, Jun Shiling was on tenterhooks even when she left the room.

 Chapter 1376 Premature Labor

    Xia Wanyuan ate, drank, and slept at home every day, or watched Jun Shiling worry.

    Her due date was nearing. Xia Wanyuan was not nervous, but Jun Shiling was so anxious that he could not sleep.

    "I still have to buy more diapers. I''ll get Uncle Wang to prepare them." Jun Shiling sat in front of the window with the book for less than a minute before standing up and starting to prepare diapers.

    Xia Wanyuan could not stand it anymore. She pulled Jun Shiling back. "Alright, stop spinning. You''re making me dizzy."

    Jun Shiling hurriedly stopped to check on Xia Wanyuan. "Are you okay? I''ll get Shen Xiu to take a look at you again. Otherwise, I''ll be worried."

    "..." Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling tightly. "If you continue to be so anxious, others will think that you''re giving birth."

    Jun Shiling pursed his lips. "I''m just worried."

    "It''s okay. Didn''t Shen Xiu say that everything is normal? Don''t worry." Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling''s hand. "I want to eat something sour. Help me bring some green apricots up."

    "Okay."

    With that, Jun Shiling left the room. Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked to the desk at the side, wanting to see if the calligraphy she had practiced yesterday had dried. However, halfway through, Xia Wanyuan felt an unbearable pain in her abdomen.

    Xia Wanyuan held her stomach and leaned against the desk.

    Her phone was ced not far away. Xia Wanyuan took a deep breath and slowly moved towards her phone.

    However, after taking a few steps, the pain in her stomach intensified. Xia Wanyuan''s stamina was exhausted and she gradually slid down the table.

    Jun Shiling was washing green apricots downstairs. Seeing that there was already a small te, Jun Shiling thought for a while and poured out a small portion.

    He could not let Xia Wanyuan eat too much. After all, it was not good to eat too many apricots.<novelnext>  </novelnext>

    Jun Shiling carried a small te of apricots upstairs. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Xia Wanyuan lying on the ground. The white carpet was already stained with blood.

    The porcin tended on the ground and Jun Shiling rushed towards Xia Wanyuan. When he walked to her side, he stopped and did not dare to move. He immediately got Shen Xiu to bring the medical team over.

    In less than three minutes, the top experts in Beijing arrived at the manor.

    "CEO Jun, Madam is about to give birth. She needs to be transferred to the hospital immediately." Shen Xiu checked the situation and asked the nurse to stabilize Xia Wanyuan''s indicators before reporting to Jun Shiling.

    "Go now." With Jun Shiling''s order, almost all the roads in Beijing turned green.

    The ambnce ran all the way and sent Xia Wanyuan to the hospital as quickly as possible.

    "Why so early? Didn''t you say there was still half a month?" After An Rao learned of the news, she handed Xiao Qingli to the butler and ran to the hospital.

    Jun Shiling''s expression was gloomy. "I don''t know either. ording to Shen Xiu, it should be half a monthter."

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s identities were too special. Now that such a thing had happened, An Rao had a bad feeling.

    She walked to the wall and prayed, praying that it was not something bad.

    At this moment, in Continent F, the ck-robed man was discussing something with Chu Yi in the Chu family''s secret passage.

    "You dare to touch Xia Wanyuan?? Do you really think Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are so easy to touch?" Hearing the news from China, Chu Yi frowned tightly. "Jun Shiling is a lunatic."

    "Pfft." The ck-robed man sneered. "She''s just a small descendant. How big of a wave can she make? I''ve already settled Xia Wanyuan''s matter. I''ll leave the rest to you."

 Chapter 1377 - 1377 The Princess Gives Birth

    1377 The Princess Gives Birth

    However, Chu Yi had concerns. ¡°No, I¡¯m still worried that Jun Shiling isn¡¯t as easy to deal with as you think.¡±

    The ck-robed man sized Chu Yi up. ¡°The famous Young Master Chu, why are you dawdling now? I¡¯m very surprised.¡±

    Displeasure shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyebrows. ¡°You seem to know Xia Wanyuan very well?¡±

    The ck-robed man sneered. ¡°I watched her grow up. How can I not be familiar?¡±

    Chu Yi looked at the ck-robed man in confusion. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been abroad all these years? How did you watch her grow up?¡±

    The ck-robed man did not answer Chu Yi¡¯s question. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this. I¡¯ve already sent a group of people to China. What you have to do now is send someone to China to receive them. You have to take back the thing in that ancient tomb. Haven¡¯t you always wanted to revive the man in the coffin?? Just take that back.¡±

    Chu Yi frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the sacred artifact needs to be activated?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The ck-robed man nodded. ¡°That¡¯s why I need you to leak the news to Jun Shiling. They¡¯ll find the ancient tomb themselves.¡±

    Chu Yi thought for a while and finally nodded. ¡°Okay, then remember to do what you promised me.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The ck-robed manughed. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in your so-called money and power. What I want is¡­¡±

    The ck-robed man did not finish his sentence, but Chu Yi could feel a huge hatred from him. Chu Yi subconsciously frowned.

    After saying that, the ck-robed man left the Chu family. Su Yao walked in with tea. ¡°Young Master, I made you new tea.¡±

    Chu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip. ¡°When did youe?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve been here for a while. I saw that there was someone with you, so I didn¡¯te in.¡± Su Yao¡¯s expression was calm, as if she had not heard anything just now.

    ¡°Mm,¡± Chu Yi replied calmly and did not say anything else.

    At this moment, in Beijing Hospital, everyone was already busy. Outside the operating theater, Jun Shiling¡¯s aura had already condensed into ice.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Madam¡¯s condition is quite dangerous.¡± Shen Xiu hurriedly ran out of the ward, his eyes filled with anxiety. ¡°We¡¯ve tried all sorts of methods, but we can¡¯t find out what¡¯s wrong with Madam.¡±

    Jun Shiling pushed Shen Xiu away and walked into the ward. At that moment, Lin Jing ran over from the corridor. ¡°CEO Jun, someone sent this anonymous letter and left a message saying that this letter can save Madam.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not care if there was anything wrong with the letter. He took it and opened it.

    There was a letter in the envelope with a few short lines of words.

    ¡°If you want to save Xia Wanyuan, you have to open the ancient tomb with blood. Only by obtaining the sacred item can you survive.¡±

    Looking at these inexplicable words, Jun Shiling frowned. ¡°Where¡¯s the person who sent the letter?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no one. This letter was found at the entrance of thepany. I checked the surveince cameras and didn¡¯t see anyone.¡±

    ¡°Doctor Shen! Something happened!!¡± At this moment, a young nurse ran out of the operating theater and shouted anxiously at Shen Xiu.

    Jun Shiling stuffed the envelope into his coat and hurriedly followed Shen Xiu into the operating theater.

    In the operating theater, Xia Wanyuan was already waiting to give birth. However, for some unknown reason, Xia Wanyuan had suffered a serious hemorrhage. The thick smell of blood in the operating theater almost made Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes turn red.

    Xia Wanyuan was about to lose all her rationality. She looked at Jun Shiling instinctively. The moment their gazes met, Jun Shiling bit the soft meat in his mouth.

    Jun Shiling did not dare to disturb the doctors¡¯ first aid. He stood at the side with red marks on his hands.

    The operating theater was filled with almost the world¡¯s top experts. The group of experts did their best to stop Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bleeding.

    ¡°Now, we need to give birth to the child first.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s blood loss was finally suppressed, but the amniotic fluid had broken. If they did not give birth soon, the child would probably suffocate in her stomach.

    ¡°A C-section?¡± The nurse asked carefully. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to prepare it now.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Shen Xiu shook his head with a serious expression. ¡°In Mrs. Jun¡¯s condition, I¡¯m afraid a C-section will cause another hemorrhage. The only solution now is¡­¡±

    Shen Xiu did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

    However, the moment they understood, everyone¡¯s expressions changed. In Xia Wanyuan¡¯s current state, she could not be anesthetized at all. This also meant that Xia Wanyuan had to drag such a body to give birth.

    Everyone could not bear to think of such pain. It was almost equivalent to being gouged alive.

    ¡°No,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said. He stared straight at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Get rid of the child and do your best to protect Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    Everyone looked at Jun Shiling in silence. They knew very well that Jun Shiling would probably feel worse than any of them if he made such a decision.

    If he did not want Xia Wanyuan to risk losing her life, he could only give up the child in her stomach.

    Shen Xiu sighed in his heart. Since Jun Shiling had already said so, he could only look at the nurse. ¡°Then prepare¡­¡±

    Before he could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan, who was on the bed, barely opened her eyes. She looked at Jun Shiling, who immediately rushed over and held her hand.

    Xia Wanyuan did not have the strength to speak. She could only look at Jun Shiling.

    The two of them were in a deadlock for a while. Jun Shiling almost gritted his teeth and forced out a few words. ¡°Okay, give birth.¡±

    The doctors standing at the side looked at him in surprise. ¡°CEO Jun, you can¡¯t use anesthesia. You have to consider carefully.¡±

    Not to mention Xia Wanyuan, even men like them could not withstand that pain.

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Prepare for it. I¡¯ll apany her here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Xiu finally gave the other doctors a look. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had probably reached a consensus. There was no need for them to say anything else and they would just do as they were told.

    The surgery was quickly prepared. Jun Shiling sat by the bed and held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling and blinked gently.

    This delivery process took six hours.

    Xia Wanyuan was already injured, and she was in an extremely weak state, so she could only advance bit by bit.

    There was no anesthetic. Xia Wanyuan was in extreme pain and could only bite Jun Shiling¡¯s hand tightly.

    The doctors present could not bear to see her in pain and covered in sweat.

    Jun Shiling sat at the side expressionlessly and did not say anything for six hours.

    Six hourster, two baby cries sounded in the operating theater.

    The nurse carried the child to Jun Shiling¡¯s side. ¡°Congrattions, CEO Jun, it¡¯s a boy and a girl. Your twins are safe.¡±

    Jun Shiling silently waved his hands. ¡°Take them away.¡±

 Chapter 1378 - 1378 Snow Pearl Revival

    1378 Snow Pearl Revival

    The nurse could only carry the child outside. In the corridor outside, An Rao was looking in anxiously.

    Seeing the nurse walk over, An Rao went up to her. ¡°How¡¯s Yuan Yuan¡¯s condition? Is she okay?¡±

    The nurse handed the child to An Rao. ¡°Doctor Shen and the rest are having a consultation. This is Miss Xia¡¯s child. Do you want to take a look?¡±

    An Rao waved her hand. ¡°Take her away.¡±

    If they were born in half a month, these two children would probably be surrounded by stars. However, now, not only did Jun Shiling not like them, but even when he carried them to An Rao, she only nced at them indifferently and looked anxiously at the operating theater.

    To normal women, giving birth to a child was a huge harm to their bodies, let alone Xia Wanyuan¡¯s fragile body.

    The children were born safely, but because Xia Wanyuan had lost too much blood and was exhausted, she waspletely unconscious.

    Jun Shiling stood silently at the side and looked at Xia Wanyuan on the bed quietly, his eyes filled with worry. He stood straight and did not move at all, as if he had be a still statue.

    The experts did their best to save her, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s internal damage was too serious. By the next morning, the experts¡¯ expressions were already quite ugly.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯ve already done our best. Madam¡­¡±

    There was no need for everyone to say the rest. Jun Shiling understood.

    His expression darkened. ¡°Is there no other way? No matter the price, as long as I can save her, I¡¯m willing to pay any price!¡±

    ¡°Madam¡¯s injuries are serious. In addition, giving birth consumed arge amount of blood and effort.¡± Shen Xiu stood up and exined the situation to Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I understand.¡± Jun Shiling walked to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side. ¡°All of you can leave.¡±

    After the experts left, Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and looked at her pale face, his eyes filled with pain.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want a child anymore.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s voice choked. ¡°Come back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuany quietly like a statue. The entire operating theater was so quiet that only Jun Shiling¡¯s cries could be heard.

    Suddenly, the crying stopped. Jun Shiling thought of the note fromst night and took it out of his pocket.

    Jun Shiling looked at it for a while and suddenly called Lin Jing in.

    ¡°CEO Jun, do you have any instructions?¡±

    ¡°Arrange for a private ne to Rongchang now.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Two hourster, a nended at Rongchang Airport.

    The doctors followed behind and observed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s condition. They secretly gave Shen Xiu a look. ¡°Doctor Shen, why did CEO Jun bring Madam here? With Madam¡¯s health, staying in Beijing Hospital is the best choice.¡±

    Shen Xiu shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t ask so much. CEO Jun has his own considerations.¡±

    Everyone looked at Jun Shiling, who was walking in front. Even his back made one feel the pain and sorrow in his heart.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts were a little dull. The question just now was actually meaningless. Now, the person who wanted Xia Wanyuan to recover the most should be Jun Shiling.

    Lin Jing brought people to pick Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan up. ¡°CEO Jun, let¡¯s go over directly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Before the sun set, the group arrived at the center of the desert.

    In the endless golden desert, a small area was specially surrounded by a tarpaulin. The professional staff walked forward and reported the situation to Lin Jing.

    Lin Jing nodded, then looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, we can go down now.¡±

    This ce had been sealed off from the outside for a long time. The professional staff had already conducted aprehensive exploration of the ancient tomb.

    Jun Shiling turned around and nced at Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu immediately understood.

    ¡°All of you stay outside and wait. I¡¯ll apany CEO Jun in.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The experts handed the medicine and equipment to Shen Xiu and waited outside. Shen Xiu followed Jun Shiling into the ancient tomb.

    Ever since the ancient tomb was discovered, Shen Qian and Lin Jing had been in charge of the excavation here. This was the first time Jun Shiling hade here.

    The ancient tomb on Long Qi Mountain was actually already very magnificent. The ancient tomb here wasrger than Long Qi Mountain, and the structure of the tomb was even moreplicated.

    After walking around for a long time, they finally arrived at the main tomb.

    At the entrance of the main tomb was a huge stone statue with all sorts ofplicated patterns carved on it. Seeing Jun Shiling and the rest walk over, the staff walked forward.

    ¡°CEO Jun, the main tomb hasn¡¯t been solved yet. We can¡¯t enter for the time being.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at the heavy door and his eyes darkened. ¡°Blow it up.¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun?¡± To professionals, blowing up the ancient tomb was the most unwise thing to do. After all, no one knew what was going on in the ancient tomb.

    If the entire tomb structure copsed and something uncontroble happened, no one would dare to bear the responsibility.

    ¡°I said blow it up.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was firm. ¡°I¡¯ll send someone over. Prepare to receive them.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Someone wanted to persuade Jun Shiling again, but seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s cold expression, everyone suppressed their thoughts.

    Soon, a group of national professionals entered the ancient tomb. Everyone looked at these professionals in uniforms and felt a little more confident.

    With them around, even if it exploded, nothing major should happen.

    Time was equivalent to money now. Everyone quickly finished all the preparations. Jun Shiling walked to the mobile medical cabin beside him.

    On the bed, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was pale and she was still in a deep sleep.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Madam¡¯s condition won¡¯tst long.¡± Shen Xiu looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. ¡°Her condition is already quite serious to begin with. Now that she¡¯s still on a long journey, if she doesn¡¯t return to the hospital for treatment in two hours, I¡¯m afraid her condition will be quite dangerous.¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied and lowered his head to kiss Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°You¡¯re in charge of following her. No matter what you seeter, don¡¯t say anything.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± As Jun Shiling¡¯s most trusted doctor, Shen Xiu naturally knew what to say and not to say.

    Jun Shiling stood by the bed with Xia Wanyuan. Explosions came from outside from time to time. Not long after, Lin Jing walked in. ¡°CEO Jun, it¡¯s done ording to your requirements. You can go in now.¡±

    ¡°Bring a few trusted aides in. Everyone else stay.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling brought a few close people into the ancient tomb. The tombs here had the sameyout as Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s ancient tomb, but there were some differences.

    It was equally magnificent. The entire tomb seemed to have replicated the luxury of its owner when she was alive. The staff was very shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.

    There was no need to mention the shock of the archeologists. With such a tomb size, it was obvious that it was at the emperor level.

    What puzzled everyone was that there was clearly an emperor in the Xia Dynasty. From the records, there was only one emperor. Then who was this person with the burial standards of an emperor??

    At this moment, Jun Shiling seemed to have sensed something and looked back. He walked into the medical cabin. Xia Wanyuan, who was on the bed, had already opened her eyes.

    ¡°We¡¯re at the ancient tomb.¡± Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Can your body do it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Help me up. I want to see.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling carefully helped Xia Wanyuan up and walked out with her.

    When Shen Xiu saw Xia Wanyuan, his eyes widened slightly. ¡°CEO Jun, Madam¡¯s health¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling waved his hand, and Shen Xiu immediately shut his mouth. ¡°Madam and I will go in. Wait here.¡±

    Everyone wanted to say something but hesitated. They watched as Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling entered the tomb.

    After passing through a door made of pure gold, the scene inside was different from the prosperous and extravagant outside.

    This ce was filled with eight trigrams runes and all sorts of strange arrays. In the middle of the room was a huge coffin.

    Seeing the coffin, Xia Wanyuan walked forward. Jun Shiling hurriedly supported her.

    ¡°I want to see what¡¯s inside.¡± Xia Wanyuan wanted to know if it was her corpse lying in the coffin.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan in.

    Surrounding the coffin were arge number of mechanisms and hidden weapons. Xia Wanyuan seemed to know these things quite well.

    Along the way, ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions, Jun Shiling eliminated all the hidden weapons.

    Walking to the coffin, Jun Shiling supported Xia Wanyuan with one hand and pushed it open with the other.

    Even though a thousand years had passed, the quality of the coffin was quite good. Jun Shiling tried his best but could not move it at all.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan looked around and said, ¡°Go to the phoenix eye in front and press it three times.¡±

    Following Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instructions, Jun Shiling walked over and pressed it three times. Just as Xia Wanyuan had said, after three times, the huge coffin automatically opened.

    Because it had been sealed for too long, when the entire coffin opened, it emitted an old creaking sound that made one¡¯s heart tingle.

    The coffin was slowly moving. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling stood at the side and stared intently at the scene in the coffin.

    Finally, a corner was revealed, and an endless cold aura seeped out. Jun Shiling hurriedly covered Xia Wanyuan with his coat and moved her to the side.

    The coffin was still opening. As the exposed area becamerger andrger, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling looked surprised.

    At this moment, there was an ice coffin in the coffin. The ice that had not melted for a thousand years enveloped the person inside and kept her from rotting for a thousand years.

    Jun Shiling had imagined Xia Wanyuan¡¯s previous life countless times. At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had crossed the long river of history and appeared in front of him in the form of a corpse.

    Although a thousand years had passed, Xia Wanyuan, who was in the ice, was alive as if she had never died.

    She was wearing a yellow pce dress and a crown. Shey quietly in the coffin, peaceful but filled with dignity.

    Looking at herself in the coffin, Xia Wanyuan had a strange feeling.

    This feeling of being able to see her corpse a thousand yearster was really strange.

    ¡°Does your Xia Dynasty have a sacred artifact?¡± Xia Wanyuan was sizing up her corpse, while Jun Shiling was searching for the sacred artifact mentioned in the note in the coffin.

    ¡°What sacred relic?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. After standing for so long, her stamina could not hold on anymore. She could only lean on Jun Shiling and barely stand.

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. A sacred artifact that can bring the dead back to life. Think about it. Do you have it?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it¡­ No, I think there¡¯s one.¡±

    No matter what dynasty it was, there would always be all sorts of strange legends.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan was young, she had always heard her parents mention a sacred item left behind by their ancestors in the Great Xia Dynasty.

    It was said that back then, the ancestor of the Xia family had saved a frozen old man in the snow. The ancestor had used his blood as water to pull the old man back from the brink of death.

    After the old man regained consciousness, he gave his ancestor a Snow Pearl and told him that this could revive the dead and restore the bones. Later on, the old man disappeared.

    Although her mother had always told this legend to Xia Wanyuan and Emperor Xia Yuan as a story, Xia Wanyuan had never believed that such a thing really existed.

    Now that Jun Shiling asked, Xia Wanyuan told Jun Shiling about the legend of the Snow Pearl.

    ¡°Snow-white pearl?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were deep. He pointed at the ice coffin. ¡°Is that the one?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan had not paid attention to the scene in the ice coffin at all just now. Now that Jun Shiling pointed, Xia Wanyuan saw that in the ice coffin, above her head, was a snow-white pearl. Even though it had been frozen in the ice for an entire thousand years, the surface of the pearl had ayer of gentle light.

    While Xia Wanyuan was still watching, Jun Shiling had already called Lin Jing to bring people in.

    However, the phone was switched off.

    Jun Shiling frowned. It was impossible for Lin Jing¡¯s phone to be switched off, let alone in such an urgent situation.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Let¡¯s go out first.¡±

    However, it was already toote. Countless men in ck surged in from all directions. ¡°CEO Jun, since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t you take a good look before leaving?¡±

    In Continent F, looking at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, who were surrounded by the coffin, the ck-robed man chuckled. ¡°Young Master Chu, is this the Jun Shiling you said was not to be trifled with?? Looks like he¡¯s nothing much. We don¡¯t even have to bother looking for Xia Wanyuan anymore. Didn¡¯t we capture them in one fell swoop??¡±

    Chu Yi looked at the ck-robed man and then at the scene in the surveince video. He felt that something was wrong.

 Chapter 1379 - 1379 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

    1379 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

    ¡°Alright, stop worrying unnecessarily. That Xia Wanyuan is already so injured. What is there to be afraid of? Only you people are afraid of Jun Shiling. In fact, Jun Shiling will be dispirited without Xia Wanyuan. If you don¡¯t believe me, just watch.¡±

    Looking at the situation in the ancient tomb in the surveince camera, the ck-robed man was certain that he would definitely be able to get rid of Jun Shiling this time and capture Xia Wanyuan alive.

    Although the ck-robed man was so certain that there was nothing wrong, Chu Yi, who had interacted with Jun Shiling for a long time, did not believe that Jun Shiling would fall for it so easily.

    ¡°What exactly is that sacred artifact?¡± Chu Yi asked casually. ¡°It¡¯s worth you doing so much for it.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a snow pearl. It¡¯s something that can revive people.¡± The ck-robed man did not hide it from Chu Yi and directly said the name of the thing.

    ¡°Snow Pearl?¡± Chu Yi was a little puzzled. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it. Can it really revive people?¡±

    The ck-robed man nodded. ¡°Of course.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Chu Yi took a sip of tea. ¡°Then why do you want that?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want that.¡± The ck-robed man waved his hand. ¡°I just want to use that thing¡­¡±

    Halfway through his sentence, the ck-robed man suddenly looked up at Chu Yi. ¡°You seem very interested in the Snow Pearl?¡±

    Chu Yi put down his teacup with a calm expression. ¡°Why? Is there a problem? Didn¡¯t you say that that sacred artifact can revive people?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± The ck-robed man stood up. ¡°When the thing is back, take the Snow Pearl and I¡¯ll take Xia Wanyuan away.¡±

    ¡°Deal.¡±

    With that, the ck-robed man left. Chu Yi narrowed his eyes as he watched the ck-robed man leave.

    He stood on the spot for a while before returning to his bedroom.

    In the middle of Chu Yi¡¯s bedroom was an ice coffin with Feng Wuyou. At that moment, Su Yao was standing in front of the ice coffin and looking at the person lying inside.

    Hearing footsteps, Su Yao turned around and smiled at Chu Yi. ¡°Young Master.¡±

    Chu Yi also smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. She¡¯s already in the past.¡±

    Su Yao tightened her grip. ¡°Young Master, then why did you¡­¡±

    ¡°Why should I put her coffin here?¡± Chu Yi walked over and looked at Feng Wuyou in the coffin. ¡°Because I hate her. I want her to always watch how my Chu family develops and how well I live without her.¡±

    Su Yao¡¯s palm was about to be crushed by her nails. Her back was facing Chu Yi, and she barely found her voice. ¡°I see.¡±

    Chu Yi looked at Feng Wuyou in the coffin with aplicated expression.

    He and Su Yao stood with their backs facing each other. Neither of them spoke, and the room was silent.

    At that moment, in the ancient desert tomb, helicopters were leaving quickly. On the helicopters were Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, who had just been captured.

    After the helicopter left, Lin Jing and the rest, who were tied underground, rushed out.

    Lin Jing anxiously called the higher-ups and asked them to immediately send more professionals to save Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Shen Xiu could not believe that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had been kidnapped. ¡°Special Assistant Lin? CEO Jun and the rest were really taken away??¡±

    Lin Jing did not answer Shen Xiu¡¯s question. He hurriedly went to arrange things.

    Looking at Lin Jing¡¯s anxious back, Shen Xiu looked at the sky and then at the ancient tomb behind him. He felt that the world had been overturned.

    Gosh, aftering out, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were both missing. This was not only a big matter for the entire Jun family and the Xia family. If word got out, it would probably cause the world to tremble.

    Under Lin Jing and Shen Qian¡¯s joint efforts, this news was suppressed. To the outside world, they only announced that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were inspecting the ancient tomb and did not talk about any news about their movements.

    The night in Continent F came a littlete. On the endless sea, the navigation lights were clearly extinguished. Chu Yi had a cigarette in his mouth and spat out a smoke ring. He thought for a long time and finally stood up. ¡°I have something on and have to leave first.¡±

    The ck-robed man looked at Chu Yi in confusion. ¡°Our people will send Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan overter. Aren¡¯t you waiting here?¡±

    Chu Yi shook his head. ¡°If you get that Snow Pearl, please send someone to the Chu residence. I still have something on, so I won¡¯t stay here.¡±

    ¡°Alright, leave.¡± The ck-robed man did not stay for long.

    Chu Yi got off the ship, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stepped on it. He turned around and looked at the ship with an ugly expression.

    ¡°Young Master, what if the ck-robed man goes back on his word? Why don¡¯t I stay here and bring the things back?¡± Chu Yi¡¯s assistant was still worried about the ck-robed man.

    Chu Yi nced at his assistant indifferently. ¡°Do you think I really left because I had something on?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The assistant looked at Chu Yi in confusion. ¡°Then Young Master, what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Something¡¯s wrong.¡± Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. ¡°I still can¡¯t believe that Jun Shiling would be caught so easily. It¡¯s best to be careful. Let¡¯s go back first and wait for the ck-robed man to send us the things.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant seemed to have understood something. ¡°Young Master, you¡¯ve considered everything.¡±

    Not long after Chu Yi left, a ship gradually approached therge ship docked by the shore.

    ¡°Reporting, we¡¯ve already brought them back.¡±

    ¡°Bring them over.¡± The ck-robed man took two steps forward impatiently. ¡°Take the ck cloth off their heads.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The subordinate lifted the ck cloth covering Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heads. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were half-closed. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was already pale and she looked like she was on herst breath.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, joy shed across the ck-robed man¡¯s eyes behind his hat. He walked forward and kicked Xia Wanyuan down. ¡°You have such a day?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was already on herst breath. Now that she was kicked to the deck, arge amount of blood seeped out of her waist.

    ¡°You!¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan injured like this, Jun Shiling red at the ck-robed man angrily.

    The ck-robed man looked at Jun Shiling disdainfully. ¡°The richest man in the modern world is only so-so. You¡¯re a businessman after all and can¡¯t be of much use. It¡¯s useless for you to re at me again. I want you to see how Xia Wanyuan is tortured.¡±

    With that, the ck-robed man waved his hand and got someone to pour salt water on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s wounds. Xia Wanyuan curled up into a ball in pain.

    ¡°Who are you?! What are your intentions? Tell me what you want. Don¡¯t beat around the bush.¡± Jun Shiling stared straight at the ck-robed man.

    ¡°Me?¡± The ck-robed man smiled. ¡°I might as well tell you that I want Xia Wanyuan¡¯s soul.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean? What¡¯s the use of her soul?¡±

    ¡°What use?¡± The ck-robed man snorted coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when that dayes, I¡¯ll let you watch what use I have for her soul.¡±

    With that, the ck-robed man gestured for his subordinate to tie Jun Shiling up again. ¡°Lock him in the water prison.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The subordinate nodded respectfully. ¡°What about Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan¡­¡± The ck-robed man nced at the half-dead and unconscious person on the ground. ¡°Find someone to treat her. Don¡¯t let her die now. She¡¯s still useful.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The ck-robed man did notpletely hide his actions. To many well-informed forces in the world, they naturally had their own unique information channels.

    The news of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan disappearing and being captured had also spread to the variousrge factions.

    As important figures in the world, if the two of them disappeared, it meant that the entire world would begin to reshuffle.

    Everyone began to ask about Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan indirectly.

    The more they asked, the more everyone believed that something had happened to Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Did you receive any news?¡± Wei Zimu called Yu Qian, unable to hide the urgency in his tone. ¡°Has Xia Wanyuan really been taken away?¡±

    Yu Qian was watering the lotus orchid in front of him. Hearing Wei Zimu¡¯s words, he put the kettle aside. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear the news?? Why are you asking me?¡±

    ¡°But how can they so easily¡­¡± Wei Zimu did not believe that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan would be captured so easily. However, the news he had obtained from all sides showed that the ridiculous rumor was true.

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°Brother, aren¡¯t youing back?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back immediately.¡± Wei Zimu packed his things. ¡°If there¡¯s anything wrong with Xia Wanyuan, I hope you can tell me.¡±

    Yu Qian did not say anything and hung up on Wei Zimu.

    Jayce sent the documents to Yu Qian and could not hide his joy. ¡°Boss, I heard that something happened to Jun Shiling. Great, the Jun Corporation is leaderless. We can continue to advance in Continent M.¡±

    Yu Qian picked up the kettle and watered the lotus orchid again. He nced at Jayce indifferently. ¡°Let¡¯s slow down for the time being.¡±

    ¡°Why? Something happened to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. This is the best opportunity.¡± Jayce had never refuted Yu Qian much, but at this moment, in his opinion, it was a good opportunity.

    If Jun Shiling and the rest were saved, the project in Continent M would have to pester them again.

    ¡°Idiot.¡± Yu Qian dipped his fingertips in the water and sprinkled a few drops on the petals. ¡°Do whatever I say.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that Yu Qian¡¯s expression had darkened, Jayce hurriedly lowered his head and agreed.

    In the open sea of Continent F, the ck-robed man sat in the cabin. In front of him was the ice coffin that had been transferred from the ancient tomb.

    ¡°Be careful. Nothing can go wrong inside. If anything is damaged, you won¡¯t dare to pay for it with your lives.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Alright, take it to thaw.¡±

    Four hourster, his subordinates came to report to the ck-robed man, ¡°It¡¯s all thawed.¡±

    The ck-robed man stood up and entered theboratory.

    At this moment, in the vacuum cabin, a beautiful woman was lying there. Even though a thousand years had passed, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty did not decrease at all.

    ¡°This is what I took from her.¡± The subordinates handed a box to the ck-robed man.

    The ck-robed man took it and nced at it briefly. Then, he instructed his subordinate to send the things to Chu Yi.

    The person who went to deliver the things quickly returned. The first thing he said when he saw the ck-robed man was, ¡°Young Master Chu said that this Snow Pearl is fake.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± The ck-robed man turned around in confusion.

    ¡°After I went, I handed the thing to Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu entered the house for a while and returned the thing to me, saying that what you gave him was fake.¡±

    Just as the subordinate was reporting, Chu Yi called.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to give it, so be it. Isn¡¯t it too much to bring a fake one over?¡±

    ¡°Chu Yi, stopbeling me. I¡¯m not interested in these things. That Snow Pearl is real. Don¡¯t tell me you fabricated it because you wanted to monopolize it¡­¡±

    The ck-robed man suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He thought of another possibility.

    What if what Chu Yi said was true? If the Snow Pearl was fake, then wouldn¡¯t this ice coffin be fake too? Then Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan?

    Just now, he waspletely immersed in the joy of victory and did not notice many details.

    Now that he thought about it, this matter had indeed gone too smoothly.

    ¡°Bring Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling over!¡± The ck-robed man suddenly shouted at his subordinate.

    ¡°Ignore them. Bring Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling over first!¡±

    Soon, the dying Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were brought to the ck-robed man.

    The ck-robed man leaned closer and raised Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin to examine it carefully.

    Suddenly, his eyes paused. He reached out and found a very hidden line on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s chin.

    The ck-robed man reached out to scratch for a while. He felt something rubbery flip up. He pulled hard, and the entire skin on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face fell off, revealing a face that waspletely different from Xia Wanyuan¡¯s.

    The ck-robed man¡¯s eyes widened. He ran to Jun Shiling and tore off the things on his face.

    Looking at the face in front of him thatpletely did not match Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, the ck-robed man finally reacted. He had been yed by Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    He stood up. ¡°Pass down the order to leave immediately!!¡±

    However, it was already toote. The sound of guns attacking the ship came from outside.

    As if sensing that someone was watching him, Xia Yu turned to look at the ck-robed man, then reached for the weapon at his waist and fired a shot at the ck-robed man.

    The ck-robed man was very fast. After dodging Xia Yu¡¯s bullets, he quickly picked up the lifeboat at the side, abandoned the entire ship, and slipped away.

    He was quite familiar with the situation here. The lifeboat was small, so he disappeared in front of everyone.

    ¡°Sir, one person ran away. The rest are all on the ship.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Yu nodded. ¡°Continue counting. I¡¯ll report to my superiors.¡±

    With that, Xia Yu walked to the side and called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Brother-inw, my matters have been settled.¡±

    Xia Yu nced at Lin Yi beside him. ¡°I want to wait for a while, can I? How¡¯s Sister¡¯s condition?¡±

    Jun Shiling squeezed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Her recovery is not bad. It¡¯s all thanks to you and Lin Yi. Lin Yi should be by your side. Help me thank her.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll pass the message.¡± Since Xia Wanyuan was steadily recovering, Xia Yu had nothing to worry about. ¡°Brother-inw, please take good care of Sister. I¡¯ll definitely go back and visit her after a while.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Yu looked at Lin Yi. ¡°Brother-inw asked me to tell you thank you for sending the message in time.¡±

    Lin Yi was following those tomb raiding teams. Along the way, those people felt that Lin Yi was trustworthy and told her a lot of internal information.

    Among them was the fact that someone had paid them a lot of money to dig tunnels around the ancient tomb.

    Lin Yi had seen their excavation map and the digging method that extended in from all directions. At a nce, she knew that the other party wanted to outnk the people inside.

    At first, Lin Yi did not take it to heart. Only when Xia Wanyuan announced that they had discovered a new ancient tomb did Lin Yi secretly contact Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling knew the other party¡¯s ulterior motives in advance, so he set up a trap. He wanted to see what the other party was here for and what he wanted to do.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± It had been a few months since she had seen Xia Yu. Lin Yi smiled at him. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    ¡°Not good.¡± After sessfullypleting what Jun Shiling had handed over, Xia Yu was in a good mood. He leaned on the side of the ship. ¡°My wife has run away. How can I be happy?¡±

    Lin Yi was very surprised that these words woulde from Xia Yu. She looked at Xia Yu in surprise. ¡°We¡¯re already divorced.¡±

    ¡°If I don¡¯t sign it, it¡¯s not considered a divorce.¡± Xia Yu looked at Lin Yi quietly. ¡°I don¡¯t want a divorce.¡±

    Lin Yi sighed. ¡°Why must you do this? I know who you like, and you don¡¯t have to marry me just because you want to repay my kindness. Please respect me. I¡¯m not that petty.¡±

    Xia Yu¡¯s lips moved slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yi had already turned to leave. Xia Yu reached out to pull Lin Yi, but after hesitating for a while, he finally put down his hand.

    At this moment, in the manor, Jun Shiling was feeding Xia Wanyuan medicine.

    ¡°It¡¯s so bitter.¡± Xia Wanyuan took a sip and frowned.

    ¡°You have to drink it no matter how bitter it is.¡± Jun Shiling brought the medicine bowl to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mouth. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to waste a drop.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Why are you so angry?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression turned even colder. He looked straight at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°How dare you say that?! Do you know what kind of body you have? How dare you carry the child? What if your wound tears?!¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t carry them.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°I just took a look. The child was carried by a nanny.¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t even look. Those two are ugly. There¡¯s nothing to see.¡± Jun Shiling was angry.

    ¡°That¡¯s our children. How are they ugly?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I want to see the baby.¡±

    Jun Shiling snorted softly. In the end, he stood up and went to the nursery at the side to carry the two children over for Xia Wanyuan to see.

    The newborn babies looked wrinkled because they had not grown up. However, the facial features of the two children in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms could already be seen. Their two pairs of bright eyes hadpletely inherited Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty. It was obvious that they would be an alluring existence more than ten yearster.

 Chapter 1380 Mysterious Pattern

    Perhaps sensing their mother''s presence, the two children, who were stillzy just now,pletely opened their eyes the moment they approached Xia Wanyuan.

    Two pairs of ss-like clear eyes blinked at Xia Wanyuan, happily waving their little arms.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to shake the child''s fair hand. The two children smiled happily at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling. "Look at how cute they are."

    "Hmph." Jun Shiling snorted coldly.

    Back then, Jun Shiling had spent the six hours with Xia Wanyuan in the operating theater. Just thinking about those six hours made his heart feel like it had been cut open by a knife.

    Jun Shiling did not have a good impression of these two little fellows that Xia Wanyuan had almost lost her life to give birth to.

    Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling''s sleeve. "What''s wrong with you? Didn''t you especially want a child back then?"

    "Then keep the daughter. I don''t want my son anymore." Jun Shiling was angry when he saw his son in his arms.

    It took Xia Wanyuan nearly five hours to give birth to her son, but it was very fast when she gave birth to her daughter. Jun Shiling felt that this son was too torturous.

    Knowing that Jun Shiling was angry, Xia Wanyuan smiled and did not argue with him. "Alright, put the two of them by my side. I want to see them again."

    "No, your body has just recovered a little." Jun Shiling rejected Xia Wanyuan''s request.

    "Then what should we do? Are you bringing them?" Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling looked at the two babies in his arms in disdain. "When you''re not awake, don''t I always take care of them?"

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. "I''m so tired. I want to sleep for a while."<novelnext>  </novelnext>

    "Okay." Jun Shiling leaned down and kissed Xia Wanyuan''s forehead. "Then sleep first."

    With that, he covered Xia Wanyuan with the nket.

    Xia Wanyuany on the bed with her eyes half-closed, looking at Jun Shiling, who was carrying the child not far away.

    Although Jun Shiling despised the two children, his actions of carrying them were quite gentle. He gently patted the babies'' backs and coaxed them to sleep.

    The corners of Xia Wanyuan''s lips curled up slightly, then she unknowingly fell asleep.

    As if sensing something, when Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, the two children in Jun Shiling''s arms also fell asleep.

    Jun Shiling ced them in the cradle and pushed it not far from Xia Wanyuan''s bed. Looking at the sleeping Xia Wanyuan and the child, Jun Shiling''s tense face finally had a smile.

    He looked at it quietly for a while, then walked to the desk beside him and turned on hisputer.

    "Reporting, the operation in Continent F has been sessfullypleted, but someone ran away. ording to his subordinate, it''s a man who wears a ck robe and a ck hat all year round."

    Xia Yu also sent a photo over. It was a man about 1.8 meters tall. His entire body was covered by a ck robe and could not be seen clearly.

    Jun Shiling observed seriously for a while and suddenly erged the photo on the screen. Then, he discovered a very inconspicuous pattern on the sleeve of the ck robe.

    The pattern was veryplicated and looked a little strange. Jun Shiling took a screenshot and sent it to Xia Yu.

    "Go and check if this pattern has any special meaning."

    "Okay."

 Chapter 1381 - 1381 Untitled

    1381 Untitled

    After hanging up the phone with Jun Shiling, Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling¡¯s request and asked the local people in Continent F if they had seen a simr pattern. However, the answer he received was no.

    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Xia Yu nodded at the local residents and walked along the street towards the shore.

    This was a small vige by the sea. The streets here looked dpidated because of the war all year round. Xia Yu asionally stopped to buy some daily necessities.

    Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Yu was about to return to the team when he saw Lin Yi bandaging an injured child by the street not far away.

    The little kid¡¯s face was dirty. Lin Yi wiped the dirt off his mouth with her sleeve, then took out a milk candy from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. ¡°Bear with it. It won¡¯t hurt anymore after I bandage you.¡±

    Children always hid in the chaos of war and had never seen someone as gentle as Lin Yi. He looked at Lin Yi in a daze and even forgot the pain in his arm.

    The medical conditions here were simple, so Lin Yi could only treat him simply.

    Over the past two days, Xia Yu¡¯s ship had temporarily stopped here, so Lin Yi had been treating the people around here.

    Her white clothes were already covered in all sorts of dirt. Her beautiful ck hair was tied up behind her head, and she looked very tired because she did not sleep well.

    However, in the chaos, Xia Yu felt that she was very eye-catching.

    He did not disturb Lin Yi and stood quietly at the side.

    After some time, Lin Yi packed her things and was about to leave when she looked up and saw Xia Yu leaning against the wall.

    Lin Yi nodded at Xia Yu. ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°I was passing by.¡± Xia Yu nced at the medical kit in Lin Yi¡¯s hand. ¡°You came to treat them again.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Yi carried her things and was about to leave when Xia Yu reached out to take the medical kit from Lin Yi.

    Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and tacitly agreed to Xia Yu¡¯s movements.

    ¡°We¡¯re preparing to return to China.¡± As Xia Yu walked, he turned to look at Lin Yi. ¡°What are your ns? Do you want toe with us?¡±

    Lin Yi shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back.¡±

    Perhaps after returning, her life would befortable. In Continent F, life was filled with danger.

    However, a bird that was used to flying in the sky could not tolerate life in a cage.

    ¡°I¡¯ll continue to stay here. Our newspaper needs war reporters too. If the others are unwilling toe, I¡¯m willing.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    To Lin Yi¡¯s surprise, Xia Yu had be especially easy to talk to in the past two days and did not mention their marriage anymore.

    The conversation between the two fell silent. Lin Yi began to miss the time when the two of them had yet to open their rtionship.

    She thought of that moonlit night in the desert. Xia Yu was holding her hand and there was no one around. The two of them chatted quietly under the starry sky.

    However, now,

    Lin Yi secretly turned to look at Xia Yu and met Xia Yu¡¯s smiling eyes.

    ¡°When are you leaving?¡± Since Xia Yu had seen her, Lin Yi did not hesitate anymore. She looked at Xia Yu openly.

    ¡°In five hours.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Lin Yi pursed her lips. ¡°Then, have a safe trip.¡±

    The corners of Xia Yu¡¯s lips curled up slightly and he did not respond to Lin Yi.

    Unknowingly, the two of them had already walked back to the ship. Lin Yi did not seem to be in a good mood. She took back her things. ¡°Since you¡¯re leaving, I¡¯ll pack my things and leaveter.¡±

    Xia Yu replied and watched Lin Yi leave, thinking about something.

    In Beijing, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, it was already night.

    It had already rained twice in autumn, and the temperature outside was already rtively low. Xia Wanyuan sat up from the bed. Jun Shiling, who was working at the side, walked over with a nket and covered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Have you slept well? Are you hungry?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    Soon, someone sent the food over. Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan mouthful by mouthful. Seeing Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. He suddenly leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face.

    Caught off guard, Xia Wanyuan stopped chewing. She nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling kissed her again. ¡°I¡¯m very happy.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had been worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health and had always been tense.

    However, just now, seeing Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten, the string in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart suddenly softened.

    He finally felt a little real. Xia Wanyuan was really safe and had given birth to their children.

    Thiste joy finally engulfed Jun Shiling like a tide.

    Jun Shiling put his bowl aside and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms, kissing her forehead non-stop.

    Xia Wanyuan was sad and touched. She allowed Jun Shiling to vent the joy in her heart while feeling a little helpless. ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯m so hungry. How long has it been since I ate?¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling let go of her and feed her again. ¡°Eat properly. I heard from others that you must take good care of a woman in the first month after giving birth. I¡¯ll be in charge of your daily life this month.¡±

    Although the gold medal nanny would also arrange Xia Wanyuan¡¯s living arrangements, Jun Shiling was still worried. He was afraid that something would happen to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s anxious and nervous expression, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart warmed.

    The reason why she was willing to risk ten months of pregnancy and give birth to those two children with all her might was because she knew that Jun Shiling was worth it.

    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll enjoy CEO Jun¡¯s care.¡± Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. ¡°I want to go to the window to take a look. I¡¯m so bored being cooped up in bed every day.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll y chess with you.¡± Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the French window and brought the chessboard.

    Not far away, the two babies were sleeping soundly. The room was quiet, with only the sound of chess piecesnding.

    The manor was silent, but the outside world was surging.

    During this period of time, the Xuan family had be more and more high-profile.

    At first, Xuan Li was still worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s counterattack. However, ever since the news of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling being kidnapped spread, Xuan Li watched for a while andpletely fell into madness.

    He increased the investment in various projects and tried to snatch the Moon Bay project from the Xiafeng Group.

    The shares of the Xuan family¡¯spany rose and became something that everyone flocked to.

    However, just now, this stock that had advanced rapidly and became the most investment-worthy stock in recent times suddenly fell.

    At the same time, all the major news media exposed the various problems of the Xuanpany.

    Xuan Li¡¯s appetite was too big, and his strides were quite big. He often swallowed this project in one gulp and went to buy the next project before he could digest it.

    Under such a series of adverse reactions, the Xuan Corporation¡¯s investment project finally exploded.

    ¡°I heard that the Xuan family is holding a board meeting soon. I¡¯m afraid Xuan Li won¡¯t be able to protect the position of the head of the Xuan family this time. The Xuan family will suffer a huge loss this time.¡±

    [Serves him right. I have good reason to suspect that this person was the one who caused Xuan Sheng¡¯s ident. After Xuan Sheng passed away, this person danced too happily. I¡¯ve long disliked him.]

    [ I just want to ask, are he and Xuan Sheng really brothers? They really don¡¯t look alike at all. Xuan Sheng is much better-looking than him. I feel that Xuan Sheng is the real crown prince. This person is like that tanuki. ]

    [ Sigh, if only Xuan Sheng wasn¡¯t dead. I feel that he¡¯s so pitiful. His parents don¡¯t love him, and the person he likes doesn¡¯t like him either. He died for no reason. ]

    The Inte was in an uproar. In the Xuan family corporation, the usually calm Xuan Li threw everything to the ground.

    ¡°Idiot!!¡±

    The assistant walked forward and packed the documents. ¡°CEO Xuan, the meeting is about to start. You have to let others see your confidence.¡±

    Xuan Li took a deep breath. ¡°Where¡¯s Xuan Sheng¡¯s corpse?¡±

    ¡°It was cremated long ago.¡± The assistant looked at Xuan Li in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, CEO Xuan? Not long after Xuan Sheng was salvaged, Linxi cremated him. Why are you asking this now?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xuan Li scratched his hair. ¡°Things have been too strange recently. Everything seems to be Xuan Sheng¡¯s doing.¡±

    In the middle of the day, the assistant was frightened by Xuan Li¡¯s words. ¡°CEO Xuan, no way. At that time, we sent someone to the scene to check. It was Xuan Sheng himself.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xuan Li had a very bad feeling. ¡°It¡¯s not that simple. Back then, our people were not hidden. If Xuan Sheng really died, ording to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s style, she would definitely look for us. However, she didn¡¯t. Does that mean¡­¡±

    As Xuan Li spoke, his expression changed.

    The victory during this period of time was too easy, so much so that he ignored many hidden details.

    Now that he thought about it carefully, there were many ws.

    Xuan Sheng might not be dead?!

    Thinking of this, Xuan Li panicked visibly. His back even broke out in cold sweat.

    At that moment, a staff member knocked on the door.

    ¡°Come in,¡± Xuan Li suppressed theplicated emotions in his heart and replied.

    The subordinate walked in. ¡°CEO Xuan, the board of directors is about to hold a meeting. The shareholders asked me to invite you over.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go over now.¡±

    The most important thing now was to settle the old men in thepany and consolidate his status as the person in charge of the Xuan family. Xuan Li tidied his suit and walked out the door.

    Just as he entered the meeting room and saw the person sitting not far away, Xuan Li stood rooted to the ground as if his acupoints had been tapped.

    Beside the desk in front, Xuan Sheng was dressed in a suit. His sleeves were loosely rolled up to his elbows, and he had a casual smile on his exquisite face.

    Seeing Xuan Li walk over, Xuan Sheng raised an eyebrow at him. ¡°CEO Xuan, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡±

    ¡°Why are you here?! Get out.¡± The moment he saw Xuan Sheng, Xuan Li understood everything, including the funding problem during this period of time.

    Xuan Sheng must have been controlling it in the dark. No wonder I felt that the recent project acquisition was too easy.

    Now that Xuan Sheng had appeared here, Xuan Li could tell that Xuan Sheng had ill intentions.

    ¡°What are you saying?¡± Xuan Sheng smiled. ¡°I¡¯m the legitimate son of the Xuan family. Why can¡¯t I be here? Besides.¡±

    As Xuan Sheng spoke, he threw a stack of documents in front of Xuan Li.

    ¡°I¡¯m already holding 25% of the shares. ording to the ratio, I¡¯m an absolute major shareholder. What right do you have to get me to leave?¡±

    The moment he saw the document, Xuan Li felt his blood pressure soar to the peak.

    No wonder the Xuan family¡¯s shares had been so abnormal recently. Now that Xuan Li knew the reason that Xuan Sheng must have been manipting everything behind the scenes topletely control the shares of the Xuan family corporation.

    Looking at Xuan Li¡¯s flustered expression, Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes. He smiled and looked at the shareholders. ¡°Since CEO Xuan is already here, let¡¯s start the meeting.¡±

    The meeting was very short, but for the entire Xuan family corporation, it experienced a turbulence.

    As apuse sounded in the meeting room, Xuan Li copsed weakly on the chair.

    Not far away, Xuan Sheng received the apuse and congrattions from everyone while smiling at Xuan Li.

    The Xuan Corporation had changed owners. Xuan Li took his things and left angrily. Just as he entered the office, Xuan Sheng followed him in.

    ¡°What a good Xuan Sheng.¡± Xuan Li looked at Xuan Sheng as if he was poisoned. ¡°Good n. I should have known that you wouldn¡¯t die so easily.¡±

    Xuan Sheng looked at Xuan Li with a faint smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t want the Xuan Corporation, but you crossed my bottom line.¡±

    Xuan Li knew Xuan Sheng¡¯s bottom line the best. He sneered. ¡°Xia Wanyuan has a husband. You daydream all day long and stick your warm face to her cold butt. You¡¯re just making a fool of yourself?¡±

    Xuan Sheng could not be bothered to talk to him anymore. ¡°If you touch her, you have to pay the price.¡±

    Xuan Li shook his head in disdain. ¡°Who do you think you are?? I did lose the power of the Xuan family¡¯spany to you, but let me tell you, as long as I¡¯m still alive, I¡¯ll kick you out of that position again.¡±

    A few smiles appeared in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Really? Then I¡¯ll wait for you to kick me. However, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to kick me outside. You¡¯ll have to kick me in prison.¡±

    Xuan Li looked up suddenly. ¡°What do you mean? What do you mean in prison?¡±

    Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes. ¡°Do you really think no one knows when you¡¯re jumping up and down between the major families like a clown? It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to take revenge, but the time isn¡¯t right.¡±

    As soon as Xuan Sheng finished speaking, the police officers who had been waiting outside rushed in.

    ¡°Xuan Li, you¡¯re suspected of deliberately killing someone and endangering the public¡¯s safety. Come with us.¡±

    Xuan Li silently reached out to the police. The moment the police took out the handcuffs, Xuan Li took out a gun from his pocket and fired at the people around him.

    ¡°Move, or I¡¯ll kill them!¡± Xuan Li took two hostages and moved back as he pressed the knife against them.

    Everyone was afraid of the hostage in Xuan Li¡¯s hand and did not dare to go forward. They could only let Xuan Li hold her hostage and walk towards the parking lot downstairs.

    Xuan Li grabbed the hostage and arrived at the underground parking lot unimpeded.

    At this moment, upstairs, the sniper was listening to his superior¡¯s orders.

    ¡°Kill the kidnapper.¡±

    As the order from his superior came, the sniper focused his aim on Xuan Li.

    Seeing that Xuan Li was about to get into the car with the two hostages, the sniper pressed the button gently.

    With a bang, Xuan Li¡¯s neck was pierced and he fell to the ground. The police immediately surrounded him and quickly took the hostage and Xuan Li¡¯s corpse away.

    Although Xuan Li was dead, the police had helped him sort out all the crimes he hadmitted.

    Other than the various improper measures he had taken to expand his business, there were a few other things that received the attention of the outside world.

    That was the car ident at Jiang Yun¡¯s wedding and the explosion on the street.

    ¡°ording to the police, when Jiang Yun got into a car ident at her wedding, she was almost killed. It was actually Xuan Li who was behind it. He joined forces with Jiang Kui to kill Jiang Yun. At that time, if not for Jiang Yun¡¯s husband stepping forward, Jiang Yun would probably be a bag of bones now.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not just this. Back then, the explosion on the street that Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng encountered was finally confirmed. The mastermind behind the scenes was Xuan Li. Xuan Sheng¡¯s death was also controlled by Xuan Li. He hurt so many people for the corporation.¡±

    [ Oh my god¡­ What a terrifying person. He simply doesn¡¯t take human lives seriously. He actually dared to bomb Xia Wanyuan. Beat him to death!! ]

    [ I said back then that there must be something fishy about Xuan Sheng¡¯s death. From the looks of it, it¡¯s indeed his younger brother who¡¯s behind it. What kind of person is he? It¡¯s too easy for him to die like this. ]

    [ Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that Xuan Sheng can¡¯te back. With such a younger brother and such a father, Xuan Sheng is really too pitiful. I¡¯m autistic for him. ]

    Xuan Li¡¯s downfall finally brought down the forces behind him. The entire Xuan family¡¯s corporation was facing a reshuffle.

    The various families had been coveting the Xuan family for a long time.

    Now that Xuan Sheng and Xuan Li were both dead, and Father Xuan had long lost control of thepany, everyone swarmed forward, wanting to take this opportunity to divide the assets of the Xuan family corporation.

    At this moment, the Xuan family suddenly informed the outside world that the new head would actually control the entire corporation.

    Everyone discussed. Now, the Xuan family was only left with an empty shelf. Who would take over as the head of the family?

    Then, everyone saw Xuan Sheng at the Xuan family¡¯s press conference.

    The reporters present thought that they had recognized the wrong person. It was only when Xuan Sheng spoke and heard a familiar voice and saw Xuan Sheng¡¯s familiar style of speech that everyone was certain that it was really Xuan Sheng himself.

    [!!! Oh my god, Xuan Sheng is really not dead!! Ahhh!! The safety amulet I went to the temple to ask for is indeed useful!! ]

    [I have a bold idea in my mind. Has Xuan Sheng been hiding recently and looking for an opportunity to capture Xuan Li and the rest in one fell swoop? Then, he will sessfully counterattack and snatch the Xuan family back.]

    [ Xuan Sheng is really not dead¡­ I feel that I¡¯m filled with hope for the entire world again. Boohoo, good people will be rewarded, bad people will be punished. ]

    During this period of time, Xuan Sheng had been in Linxi City. Now that he had finally returned to Beijing, he was most worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health.

    After asking Jun Shiling for permission, Xuan Sheng walked into the manor for the first time.

    In the living room, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a nket and ying cards with Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did as he said. During Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confinement period, Jun Shiling pushed all his work to the night after Xia Wanyuan fell asleep. The rest of the time, he apanied Xia Wanyuan.

    Hearing footsteps, Xia Wanyuan turned around and waved at Xuan Sheng. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡±

    Xuan Sheng nodded. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Look at my expression. Do I look bad? I eat and sleep every day.¡±

    Xuan Sheng naturally saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mental state. The stone that had been hanging in his heart was relieved. ¡°As long as you recover well, I don¡¯t have to worry all the time.¡±

    ¡°Go and see the baby.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the cradle not far away. ¡°They just woke up.¡±

    At this moment, Jun Shiling, who had been silent, looked up.

    ¡°What I said back then still stands.¡±

    Xuan Sheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jun Shiling was talking about letting these two children acknowledge him as their godfather.

    Xuan Sheng pursed his lips. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Actually, he was destined not to have his own child in his life. It was actually quite good to be able to watch Xia Wanyuan¡¯s child grow up quietly.

    At least there would be some hope and ties in the future, right?

    Xuan Sheng walked to the cradle. The two children had just woken up and were active. When they saw Xuan Sheng, not only were they not afraid of strangers, but they even waved their small fists at Xuan Sheng.

    The younger child even smiled at Xuan Sheng. His clear eyes seemed to be filled with the most transparentke in the world.

    A smile involuntarily appeared in Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes.

    As expected, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s child was as likable as her.

    Xuan Sheng stood by the cradle and looked at it for a while before turning to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done. I still have something on at thepany. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Knowing that Xuan Sheng had just taken over the Xuan family recently and had more things to do, Xia Wanyuan did not ask him to stay.

    Xuan Sheng did not let anyone send him out. Instead, he walked out alone.

    From the main building to the entrance, Xuan Sheng walked step by step. His eyes were clearly flickering. When he reached the door, Xuan Sheng looked in from afar.

    Thinking of the little girl¡¯s eyes just now, Xuan Sheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.

    The assistant had been waiting outside for a long time, afraid that Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling would have a conflict.

    Now that he saw that although Xuan Sheng hade out, he was standing there in a daze without moving, the assistant hurriedly ran over to remind Xuan Sheng.

    ¡°CEO Xuan, we should go back.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xuan Sheng nodded and got into the car.

    Outside the car, the assistant felt a little strange. Why did I feel that the current Xuan Sheng was different from when he came over just now?

    It was as if the dark clouds had dispersed and they had finally seen the light of day.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Xuan Sheng suddenly said in the car.

    The assistant hurriedly restrained his thoughts and followed Xuan Sheng into the car.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan did not want to y cards anymore.

    She put the things aside disinterestedly. ¡°Do you think Xuan Sheng can still find a girl he likes?¡±

    Initially, when Xia Wanyuan saw that Xuan Sheng took good care of Lu Li, she thought that Lu Li would eventually move Xuan Sheng.

    However, from the looks of it, Lu Li and Xuan Sheng¡¯s rtionship was bing more and more like siblings.

    Jun Shiling quietly packed the chess cards that Xia Wanyuan had thrown aside. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Because if it were me, I wouldn¡¯t either.¡±

    There would not be a second Xia Wanyuan in the world, so there would naturally not be a second rtionship.

    Xia Wanyuan was silent. ¡°Then¡­¡±

    As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was going to say, Jun Shiling spoke first. ¡°How do you know that he¡¯s unhappy?¡±

    If Jun Shiling had not been standing beside Xia Wanyuan today, he would have been happy to be able to look at her from afar.

    Xia Wanyuan sighed softly. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about this. I haven¡¯t looked at thepany¡¯s situation recently. Is the profitability of the Moon Bay project okay?¡±

    Jun Shiling shook his head.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him in surprise. ¡°Did I lose money?? I thought everyone would like that y mode.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Stupid, not just okay, it¡¯s very good. Your project has already surpassed all the amusement park projects in the world and be the most profitable one.¡±

    The key was that the Moon Bay project not only drove everyone to spend in the scenic area, but more importantly, this project conveyed the beauty of all sorts of traditional Chinese culture to tourists through the various beauty in the scenic area.

    As a result, after everyone left the amusement park project, they could not forget all sorts of folklore skills, which led to arge number of products.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect to earn so much money. Her original intention was to build a carrier that could bear the beauty of China¡¯s traditional culture.

    In the end, not only did the carrier seed, butmercialization was also maximized.

    Therefore, it was not that China¡¯s culture was not suitable formercialization. It was just to see if they would publicize and use it.

    Not only did this project attract all sorts of local tourists in China, but the experience and evaluation of foreign tourists were also quite good.

    Capital was all about profit. When everyone saw that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s project was so profitable, they wanted to discuss cooperation with her.

    There was nock ofrgepanies who had offered rather generous conditions to cooperate with Xia Wanyuan and open the Moon Bay project overseas.

    ¡°These arepanies that want to cooperate. You can consider it yourself.¡± Jun Shiling ced a stack of documents in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through it and was a little interested in thergest amusement park projectpany.

    This LYpany was quite famous worldwide.

    Coincidentally, Xia Wanyuan was looking at its information when thepany called her.

    Xia Wanyuan was very willing to discuss the expansion of the project with the other party.

    However, after the other party said a few words, Xia Wanyuan began to lose interest.

    ¡°No need. I won¡¯t consider it. Goodbye.¡± In the end, Xia Wanyuan interrupted the other party and hung up.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was a little angry, Jun Shiling pinched her face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What did they say?¡±

    ¡°They said that they want to build a paradise simr to the Moon Bay project in China, but there are requirements. They want to control the cost budget and want to mass customize handicrafts from the Inte to build the entire paradise.¡±

    Back then, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s original intention of building the Moon Bay project was to restore the most real dream world. Any detail inside required extreme perfection.

    ording to the otherpany, if they could reduce the cost and use low-cost handicrafts, the profits would at least double. That was a huge number.

    The other party had never thought that Xia Wanyuan would reject him.

    ¡°Why did she reject it??¡± The leader of LY Company was questioning the person in charge of contacting her. ¡°The conditions we gave are already generous enough. What does she mean?¡±

    The person in charge of contacting them could not exin, but his eyes darted around and he thought of a solution. ¡°Director, Xia Wanyuan and the rest already have ns toe to Continent M to open an amusement park. Since she¡¯sing to Continent M, won¡¯t things be easy?¡±

    As thergest amusement park projectpany in the world, LY Company was famous worldwide and had almost formed an absolute monopoly.

    As long as the Moon Bay project wanted to be sessfully built in other countries, it would never be able to bypass LY.

    ¡°You¡¯re right. Since they don¡¯t want face, let¡¯s wait for them to beg us one day.¡± The LY leaders looked at each other and finally agreed to this method.

    At this moment, in China, Shen Qian was discussing with Xia Wanyuan about expanding the Moon Bay project to Continent M.

    Shen Qian was already Xia Wanyuan¡¯s most capable assistant. He had already made sufficient preparations to raise the idea of expansion.

    Hearing Shen Qian¡¯s report, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and happily agreed.

    ¡°We can shift the center of the theme of the amusement park this time by a little.¡±

    ¡°How?¡±

    ¡°Shift to the mythical creatures.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Shen Qian quickly understood what Xia Wanyuan meant. ¡°Is ¡®Under the Sky¡¯ already preparing to be broadcasted?¡±

    The moment Xia Wanyuan mentioned the mythical spirit monster, Shen Qian thought of ¡°Under the Sky¡±. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been very busy and had not had time to care about this television drama.

    However, the scenes for the television drama had already been filmed. There was a professional team to oversee the post-production, so Xia Wanyuan did not have to worry anymore.

    Now, after all sorts of improvements by the team, the first version of ¡°Under the Sky¡± had already been reported to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t had time to watch it.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°But this television drama can be used as an entry point that canplement the amusement park project.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll arrange it now.¡±

    After the video conference with Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan called An Rao.

    An Rao¡¯s mood did not sound very high. ¡°Yuan Yuan.¡±

    ¡°At home? Do you want toe over?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± An Rao¡¯s tone was very low. ¡°Then I¡¯ll pack up and bring the little kid over.¡±

    Half an hourter, An Rao hugged Xiao Qingli and plunged into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms. ¡°Yuan Yuan, Bo Xiao hasn¡¯t called me in a long time. Could something have happened to him?¡±

    An Rao was already very worried about him. Although Bo Xiao was busy previously, he would still call her in two to three days to report his safety, but he had only called her once in a long time recently.

    ¡°No, I just asked Jun Shiling yesterday. Bo Xiao is safe, but he¡¯s quite busy.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not lie to An Rao. At this moment, in the southwest, Bo Xiao was inspecting the local situation with his teammates.

    The vige here was still calm and peaceful three months ago, but now, it was already a mess.

    First, there was chaos, then a very fierce virus attacked. Most of the people in the vige had been infected. Now, most of them were being treated in the istion ward of the hospital.

 Chapter 1382 Unknown Illness

    At the border, Bo Xiao was patrolling the surroundings with his subordinates.

    "Sir." The subordinate walked over and reported the situation to Bo Xiao. "When we arrived, the people from the surrounding vige had already left."

    Bo Xiao looked into the distance quietly. "There''s no trace at all?"

    "No." The subordinate shook his head. "We didn''t find any other traces. ording to the information we gathered, the vige here ran away because they made illegal drugs. Now that they heard the news, they ran away."

    Bo Xiao did not believe it. He frowned slightly. "Even if they ran, it''s impossible for a few viges to run away without a trace."

    "But this ce is adjacent to the ck Triangle. It''s also possible that they formed a group and left the border to the surrounding countries."

    There had been all sorts of sneaky crossings in the border town here for a long time. It was not impossible for such a phenomenon to cross the border to escape capture.

    Bo Xiao considered this possibility, but he felt a little uneasy. "Search again and focus on the people crossing the border."

    "Yes."

    After his subordinate left, Bo Xiao went to the quarantine hospital to check on the injured vigers.

    "Have you found out the reason?" Looking at the bruised patient in the ward, Bo Xiao''s expression was solemn.

    The doctor shook his head helplessly. "We took samples of these patients, but we couldn''t find the source of the virus in the end. From the current situation, it''s very likely an unknown new virus."

    Although Bo Xiao was not a doctor and had been on missions for a long time, he still had some understanding of these sudden situations. What he was most concerned about now was¡­

    "Is this unknown illness contagious?"

    Speaking of this, the doctor shook his head. "From the current situation, it shouldn''t be contagious. There are more factories here. Our preliminary diagnosis is that they became like this because they consumed an overly polluted water source."

    In the ward, the patient roared in pain. Bo Xiao nced at the ward. "Then hurry up and develop a way to treat the illness. You have to figure out the source of this virus as soon as possible."

    Some viruses might not be harmful at first, but who knew what it would be after time.

    Bo Xiao did not want to cause a greater disaster because of a little negligence in his work.

    "Yes." The doctor nodded. "Don''t worry, we''ve already gathered and isted all the infected people. We''ve also gathered and sealed the hospital here."

    "That''s good." The patient in the ward was still howling. Bo Xiao turned around and strode away.

    After Bo Xiao left, the doctor gathered the others in the hospital and began to work overtime to test and study ways to deal with this unknown illness.

    After leaving the hospital, Bo Xiao underwent aplete disinfection before returning to the camp.

    He had been out on missions the entire day and finally had some time. He picked up his phone and saw that there was a call from An Rao.

    Bo Xiao called An Rao on WeChat and the call was picked up instantly.

    An Rao''s smiling face appeared in the camera. "Hubby!"

    Seeing the background behind An Rao, Bo Xiao smiled. "You went to the manor again."

    "That''s right." An Rao pulled Xia Wanyuan''s arm. "I came to see Yuan Yuan. Let me tell you, Yuan Yuan''s child is so cute. I''m unbnced. Our Xiao Qingli didn''t look so good in a few days. Her daughter is so beautiful. I''ve already booked a betrothal¡­"<novelnext>  </novelnext>

    An Rao was talkative to begin with. After not seeing Bo Xiao for so many days, she had countless thoughts she wanted to share with him.

    Bo Xiao listened quietly and looked at the smiling An Rao in the camera. Bo Xiao''s eyes were quite gentle.

    After a while, seeing that Bo Xiao was silent after saying so much, An Rao coughed in embarrassment. "What''s wrong with you? I''ve said so much, why didn''t you say a word? You made me so embarrassed."

    Bo Xiao smiled and looked at An Rao intently. "An Rao."

    "Mm?" An Rao replied and raised an eyebrow.

    "Thank you," Bo Xiao said quietly.

    Just these two words were like a switch that instantly froze An Rao. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and the joy she had pretended to have copsed.

    An Rao liked to have others apany her the most. When Bo Xiao was at home, An Rao would share all sorts of strange thoughts with Bo Xiao every day.

    Now that Bo Xiao was out on a mission, she did not want Bo Xiao to worry, but she could not suppress her longing for him. She had always wanted to share what had happened recently with Bo Xiao.

    Initially, if Bo Xiao did not say anything, she could always pretend to be happy, but Bo Xiao had exposed thisyer.

    "Bo Xiao, you''re so annoying." An Rao''s voice was clearly filled with tears.

    Bo Xiao''s eyes were gentle. "I''m going out for an inspection soon. I''ll contact you next time I''m free."

    "Mm." An Rao carried the child over for Bo Xiao to take a look. "Work in peace. I''m doing quite well. I''m preparing to apany Yuan Yuan in the manor for the next two days."

    "Okay." Bo Xiao smiled, put on his hat, and walked into the night sky after hanging up.

    On the other hand, looking at the hung up phone, An Rao was a little empty.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and patted An Rao''s shoulder. "Don''t worry, he''ll definitely be safe."

    An Rao sniffed. "Yuan Yuan, am I an unqualified military wife? I think other people understand their husbands quite well. Why do I think of Bo Xiao like this?"

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and stroked An Rao''s hair. "Silly, it would be strange if you didn''t miss him."

    An Rao snorted softly. "Forget it, I was the one who asked him to pursue his dream. I can''t hold him back. Let''s not talk about it anymore. Didn''t you ask me to help you watch the movie ''Under the Sky''? Where is it? I want to watch it."

    The sample of "Under the Sky" had already been sent to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan had been rtively busy recently and did not have time to care about this matter. Coincidentally, An Rao hade over today, so Xia Wanyuan found apanion to review this television drama.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa while An Rao went to get fruits and pastries. As she munched on melon seeds, she leaned on Xia Wanyuan''s shoulder and watched the television drama.

    As the magnificent music sounded, An Rao was gradually attracted by the television drama in front of her.

    Two hourster, An Rao held the melon seeds skin in one hand and the empty cup in the other as she looked straight at the television screen in front of her.

    "Yuan Yuan, it''s not that I want to criticize you, but you''re too amazing. Why is your television drama so good!! Boohoo, what''s the next episode??"

 Chapter 1383 Eternal God

    In two hours, only two episodes had been screened. This television drama was quite well broken.

    Coincidentally, when the male lead was secretly thrown into the Demon World, An Rao''s heart itched.

    She looked at Xia Wanyuan with sparkling eyes. "What about the next episode?? It''s so nice to watch."

    Xia Wanyuan looked at An Rao in amusement. "I asked you to find fault, not praise."

    "But I don''t think there''s anything wrong!!" An Rao had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had filmed many television dramas.

    It was precisely because she was the actor in the television drama that An Rao usually did not watch television dramas much because she did not feel that they were immersive.

    However, at this moment, looking at "Under the Sky", An Rao was brought into that magical and spectacr world. An Rao had not felt so excited to watch a television drama in a long time.

    "No, they only sent two episodes over. The rest will only be sent over tonight."

    "Ah!" An Rao''s face was filled with regret. "Then I''ll stay with you. I want to see the plot of the next episode immediately."

    "Okay, stay." Anyway, An Rao could apany her here. Xia Wanyuan did not object at all.

    However, at night, when the television drama sample was really sent over, An Rao fell into a dilemma.

    "I''d better not watch it. If I watch it in advance, when the whole nation watches the drama together, I won''t be able to feel that atmosphere."

    Xia Wanyuan looked at her in amusement. "How will the whole nation watch the drama together??"

    "Definitely!" An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan confidently. "This television drama is really well done. It''s no exaggeration to say that I think it will be the peak work of our Chinese fantasy television drama. Yuan Yuan, why are you so amazing? I admire you so much."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless from An Rao''s praise. "Alright, since you don''t want to look, I''ll watch it myself. There are still some things that need to be modified."

    "Okay, then I''ll go upstairs and not disturb you anymore."

    "Mm."

    Although An Rao resisted the temptation to watch theter plot, the lingering feeling still stayed in her heart.

    After coaxing Xiao Qingli to sleep, An Rao kept thinking about the plot of "Under the Sky" and the appearances of the male leads.

    Although Bo Xiao was definitely the number one handsome man in An Rao''s heart, An Rao secretly felt that Jun Shiling, Bo Xiao, and Yan Ci''s appearances in the television drama were really good.

    If not for Bo Xiao, An Rao felt that she would definitely be charmed by these few people in the television drama.

    If she was already like this, let alone the other audience.

    After thinking about it, An Rao finally could not help but sigh on Weibo.

    @ An Rao: "With Yuan Yuan''s light, I watched two episodes of ''Under the Sky'' in advance. I just want to say!!! It''s too good!! Yuan Yuan YYDS!!!"

    [ Good lord, has the missing person finally appeared?? An Rao, how long has it been since you appeared? Have you forgotten the fans by Daming Lake?! ]

    [Hahahahahahaha, you even know how to use Inte hot words like eternal god. Looks like you surf the Inte a lot at home.]

    [ Please stop talking. The child is already crying from hunger. You can already watch two episodes. What should the people who can''t even watch one do? Boohoo, I''m so envious. I want to watch it too!! Please release it early!! The children are waiting until the cauliflower is cold. ]

 Chapter 1384 - 1384 Leaving

    1384 Leaving

    An Rao¡¯s Weibo quickly caused a heated discussion among her fans. The poprity of ¡°Under the Sky¡± had already decreased a lot. After An Rao posted on Weibo, the topic of ¡°Up in the Sky¡± became a trending topic again.

    Coincidentally, at this moment, another popr American television drama that had been popr worldwide for nearly five years and had countless fans announced the broadcast time of its fifth season.

    This American television drama called ¡°Ice¡± had caused a global sensation from the moment it was released.

    It used its movie-like special effects to stimte the nervous plot. During the broadcast, it caused a heated discussion worldwide and became a masterpiece in the hearts of countless fans.

    The fans had already waited for too long for this season. Hence, when the news that the television drama was about to be broadcasted spread, the fans worldwide were in an uproar.

    On this day, the trending topic of ¡°Ice¡± swept across the entire Inte. Countless fans began to recall the scenes before this television drama. Those long-buried memories once again hooked out the emotions buried in people¡¯s hearts.

    In the domestic media, the topic of this television drama was also quite popr. However, because of An Rao¡¯s Weibo post,

    Now, the topics of both sides werepeting on the trending list.

    Xia Wanyuan had never stepped into such a fantasy television drama before, let alone this was her first time directing the entire television drama.

    Naturally, many people began topare the two.

    Everyone guessed from An Rao¡¯s reply that the broadcast time of ¡°Under the Sky¡± was probably not much different from ¡°Ice¡±. Now, everyone¡¯s mood was very subtle.

    [ Um¡­ Although I quite like Xia Wanyuan, hearing the name ¡°Under the Sky¡± feels like a joke. ¡°Ice¡± is about to end this season. I hope it won¡¯t let down the fans¡¯ hopes. ]

    [ To put it bluntly, Xia Wanyuan probably wants to film such a fantasy blockbuster because ¡°Ice¡± is especially popr. However, with our country¡¯s standard of filming television dramas, forget it. ]

    [ Hehe, I think you can¡¯t stand up after kneeling for too long, right?? I think Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television drama will definitely be more sessful than overseas. Anyway, I support her unconditionally. Xia Wanyuan is the most amazing! ]

    [Ha, brainless fan.]

    Seeing themotion on Weibo, An Rao med herself a little. She took her phone and went downstairs. ¡°Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have posted this on Weibo just now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took a look and was very calm. ¡°It¡¯s very normal.¡±

    Even if An Rao did not post on Weibo today, after ¡°Under the Sky¡± was set, it would still cause arge-scale discussion.

    Theizens¡¯ doubts were not because of the television drama, but because this television drama was directed by Xia Wanyuan, so theizens would bring magnifying sses to watch this television drama.

    ¡°Have the samples been sent over?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at the box on the table. ¡°Let¡¯s look at it together.¡±

    The moment Jun Shiling entered after work, he saw An Rao hugging Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arm and watching the television drama on the screen excitedly.

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± An Rao jumped up excitedly, but when she saw Jun Shiling not far away, she sat back down timidly.

    Jun Shiling nced at the screen and happened to see himself appear.

    ¡°The sample is here?¡±

    ¡°Mm, do you want to watch it with me?¡±

    ¡°No need. You guys watch. I¡¯ll go up and work.¡± Knowing that he would make An Rao feel ufortable here, Jun Shiling did not n to ruin her ying with Xia Wanyuan.

    With that, Jun Shiling strode upstairs. An Rao shrank her neck. ¡°Although we¡¯re already very familiar with each other, I keep feeling very afraid of CEO Jun. Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re really amazing. Only you can control a man like CEO Jun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Alright, watch the drama properly.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    The sample was still a sample after all, and there were still some things that needed to be perfected. An Rao and Xia Wanyuan discussed for a long time, and it was already veryte when they sorted out the parts that needed to be modified.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, I¡¯m going to sleep. Sleep early too.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao returned to her room. Xia Wanyuan was about to get up when the study door upstairs opened.

    Xia Wanyuan nced up and sat on the sofa with a clear conscience, waiting for Jun Shiling to pick her up.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and slowly walked upstairs.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s side profile. She could not help but touch Jun Shiling¡¯s ear. ¡°CEO Jun, you¡¯re so handsome in the television drama.¡±

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at her. ¡°Am I not usually handsome?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. ¡°You look good anytime.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was now served by Jun Shiling with good food and drinks. Her face was as smooth as warm jade. When she smiled, her eyshes were curved and her dimples were shallow. The light shattered into dazzling brilliance in her words.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes narrowed and he walked faster.

    After cing Xia Wanyuan on the bed, Xia Wanyuan wanted to pull the nket over to sleep, but she realized that there was something wrong with Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan looked helpless. ¡°Are you really going to be a beast? I¡¯m still in confinement.¡±

    ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan snorted coldly. ¡°I¡¯m too familiar with your gaze.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand to himself.

    ¡°Yes, yes, but how can I ignore your health?¡±

    In the few months since Xia Wanyuan became pregnant, even though Shen Xiu had said that they could have intimate activities after three months,

    However, Jun Shiling was worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health and could not bear to touch her at all. After enduring for so long, he had just been touched by Xia Wanyuan¡¯s faint smile, causing his blood to boil.

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight at Jun Shiling. ¡°Then why did you carry me in?¡±

    Jun Shiling coughed lightly. ¡°Sleep.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him suspiciously, but Jun Shiling really turned off the light and hugged her to sleep.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was still a little wary of him, Jun Shiling reached out and gently pinched Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist. ¡°Idiot, no matter how I think about it, I can¡¯t be such a beast. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping? If you don¡¯t sleep, I¡¯ll really be a beast for you to see.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly shrank into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m asleep.¡±

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He lowered his head and kissed her hair.

    Actually,

    Theplicated desire was not uncontroble. Looking quietly at the person he loved in his arms was enough to calm one¡¯s heart.

    The night covered the beautiful dream in the room. Under the long night, a ne was about to leave Beijing.

 Chapter 1385 The Price Of Resurrection

    "Are you really leaving? Actually, you''ve made a lot of contributions this time. You''ve been abroad recently. The higher-ups have already decided to let you stay in the country. Your brother-inw definitely doesn''t want you to leave."

    Outside the boarding gate, a middle-aged man in a uniform was persuading Xia Yu.

    Xia Yu followed the team to transport all the bandits and stolen goods they had captured back to China. The higher-ups had already drafted a transfer letter.

    Who would have thought that Xia Yu would take the initiative to stay in Continent F for a long time?

    It was fine if others were willing to guard Continent F for a long time, but everyone knew Xia Yu''s identity and background.

    As Xia Wanyuan''s younger brother and Jun Shiling''s brother-inw, he was a figure standing at the peak of the pyramid.

    Not to mention that no one could understand why Xia Yu had joined the army, what they could not understand even more was that Xia Yu had actually taken the initiative to stay in Continent F for a long time.

    That ce was chaotic all year round. Many people could not return even if they wanted to. Instead, Xia Yu went up against the water and insisted on running to that ce.

    Xia Yu stood straight and smiled. "My wife is over there. We can''t be separated for a long time, right? Officer, long-distance love is quite difficult to maintain."

    Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the leader was stunned. Wife? You''re married?"

    "That''s right." Xia Yu pulled his luggage over. "Leader, you''ve met the girl from the hospitalst time."

    The leader was enlightened. A pair of bright eyes appeared in his mind. "That''s a good girl!"

    Xia Yu smiled. "It''s almost time. I''ll leave first."

    "Alright, you didn''t even tell us you got married. The next time youe back, you have to bring us wedding candy."

    "No problem."

    After bidding farewell to the leader, Xia Yu got on the ne. Soon, the wings cut through the sky and flew towards Continent F.<novelnext></novelnext>

    At this moment, in Continent F, Lin Yi was walking through the desert with Stone.

    "Why did your Brother Xia Yu put you in Continent F? Didn''t he sayst time that he wanted to send you back to Beijing to study?"

    Stone looked up. "Sister Lin, I don''t like Beijing. I like this ce. I like to stay with you."

    Lin Yi smiled. "I''m the only one here. Your Brother Xia Yu went back."

    "He''lle back." Stone was very certain.

    Lin Yi thought that this was Stone''s anticipation. She shook her head. "Perhaps."

    In the Chu family, looking at the ck-robed man sitting in front of him, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. "Didn''t you say that you would take back that sacred artifact?"

    "Who knew that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were so cunning? They had long switched things. Even they were pretending. Goodd, I was careless."

    Chu Yi nced at the ck-robed man in disdain. "I told you long ago, but you insisted on rushing to give them something. Now, it''s all for nothing. Even your information has been taken away."

    The ck-robed man had underestimated his enemy too much. He got his subordinate to bring him into his old residence and was swept clean by Xia Yu, taking away all the things in his old residence.

    This time, not only did the ck-robed man not snatch anything from Xia Wanyuan, but he also suffered a double loss.

    "So what?" Other than being angry, the ck-robed man was not flustered. "Before long, Xia Wanyuan will be obedient and personally hand the sacred relic to me. Even she has to be obedient. She has to do whatever I want her to do."

    Chu Yi thought that the ck-robed man was imagining things again and could not be bothered to continue this topic with him.

    "Is there any other way? A way to revive the man in the coffin?"

    "Yes, but you have to pay the price."

 Chapter 1386 Body

    "What price?"

    After Chu Yi asked this question, he clearly felt the ck-robed man in front of him smile.

    Although he had covered his face with a huge hat, Chu Yi could feel that this person was smiling strangely. A chill suddenly crawled up his heart.

    "The price is to capture the soul of the direct descendant of the Feng family and make it the me of life, igniting Emperor Xia Yuan''s life."

    "What do you mean?" Chu Yi frowned. "I don''t understand a word you say."

    The ck-robed man stood up. "Do you know why no one else has discovered the ancient tomb of Longqi Mountain for thousands of years, but the Chu family and the Feng family are rted to him?"

    "It''s not a coincidence?" Hearing the ck-robed man''s tone, Chu Yi could tell that something was wrong. "Could there be other secrets?"

    "Back then, when the Great Xia Dynasty was destroyed, all the history of civilization was erased. However, what was erased was memories, but it doesn''t mean that the bloodline was erased."

    "Bloodline? Us?" Chu Yi''s frown deepened. "You mean we''re the descendants of that dynasty?"

    "It''s been so many years, and the bloodlines have long been mixed. However, the deeper the bloodline connection, the easier it is to guide each other. That youngdy of the Feng family has a rare pure bloodline. Don''t you still have her corpse? If you want to revive Emperor Xia Yuan, use the lives of the Feng family."

    Chu Yi''s face darkened and he did not speak. The ck-robed man sized him up for a while. "Tsk, everyone says that the young master of the Chu family is cold and heartless. From the looks of it today, it doesn''t seem to match the rumors, right? Young Master Chu is¡­"

    "Nonsense!" Chu Yi seemed to have been instantly poked at something that could not be touched. "Isn''t it just the lives of the Feng family? How many do you want? I''ll get someone to prepare it immediately."

    "Hahaha." The ck-robed man looked up at the sky andughed. "Young Master Chu, you''re so straightforward. Then I want ten direct descendants of the Feng family, preferably under the age of 15. In addition to Feng Wuyou, I''ll revive the person in the secret passage."

    "Why should I believe you?" Chu Yi looked at the ck-robed man with suspicion in his eyes. "What you said can''t be exined by science at all."

    The ck-robed man stood up. "You can choose not to believe me. I''ll wait for you at the usual ce in three days."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the ck-robed man left the room.

    Looking at the empty seat in front of him, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

    He had once sent people to investigate the background of this ck-robed person, but they found nothing.

    He had no family or friends, no background, and it was as if he had no future. He was like a person who wandered outside this world, a person without a source.

    Just as Chu Yi was deep in thought, Su Yao walked in with a cup of tea. "Young Master, have a sip of tea."

    Ever since she was injuredst time, Chu Yi had stopped caring about Su Yao''s clothes and did not force her to wear a red dress.

    Now, Su Yao was wearing a light-colored floral dress. She was refreshing and refined, and her eyes were moving.

    Chu Yi wanted to try onest time. He pulled Su Yao''s hand. "Follow me somewhere."

    "What?" Su Yao''s eyes widened slightly.

    "Come here"

    With that, Chu Yi pulled Su Yao to the bedroom next door.

    Su Yao struggled for a while, but Chu Yi held her hand tightly. Su Yaopromised and followed Chu Yi into the bedroom.

    Chu Yi had not slept in his bedroom for a long time. Now, he was resting in Su Yao''s room.

    Su Yao had never been to Chu Yi''s bedroom before. This was the first time.

    This bedroom was quite big and empty. When she walked in, there was a cold aura everywhere that made one''s heart tingle.

    Seeing the huge ice coffin in the middle of the bedroom, Su Yao''s pupils instantly dted.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Sensing Su Yao''s instantly stiff body, Chu Yi turned around. "What''s wrong?"

    Su Yao pointed at the ice coffin. "What is this?"

    Chu Yi smiled at Su Yao. "My ex-wife, Feng Wuyou. Do you know her?"

    Looking at Chu Yi''s smiling face, Su Yao felt a chill run down her spine. She forced a smile. "I''ve heard of her, but I don''t know her. She''s your ex-wife. How would I know her?"

    When Su Yao spoke, Chu Yi had been observing her expression.

    "Why did you bring me here?"

    Looking at Feng Wuyou lying in the ice coffin, her facial features and expression seemed to be alive. Su Yao subconsciously trembled. "I''m afraid. I want to leave."

    "Don''t be afraid." Chu Yi pulled Su Yao into his arms and kissed her ear affectionately. "You don''t have to be afraid anymore."

    Su Yao looked up, her almond-shaped eyes filled with just the right amount of panic and curiosity. "What do you mean?"

    Chu Yi smiled. "She''s about to be eliminated. I''ll get someone to cremate her. After she dies, how about you move into my room and sleep?"

    Su Yao felt a cold sweat on her back. She looked at Chu Yi in horror. "Young Master¡­"

    Looking at Su Yao''s frightened expression, Chu Yi smiled and reached out to touch Su Yao''s hair. "I was just joking. You don''t have to take it seriously. You''re my baby. How can I bear to let you rest in a ce like this where a woman has been?"

    Hearing Chu Yi''s words, Su Yao''s pupils constricted. "Young Master, you really know how to joke."

    "Alright, let''s go out." Chu Yi held Su Yao''s arm, lowered his head, and kissed her on the cheek.

    "Mm." Su Yao grabbed Chu Yi''s arm and followed him out.

    When she reached the door, Su Yao suddenly turned around and looked at the ice coffin in the bedroom.

    Looking at the figure lying in the ice coffin, Su Yao pursed her lips.

    Chu Yi turned his head slightly to look at Su Yao and narrowed his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    After a few rounds of autumn rain, the weather became even colder. The light rain fell on the petals, and the water droplets on the petals trembled and fell, scattering in the vegetation.

    In the manor, An Rao was acting as Xiu Yi''s new model, constantly trying out Xia Wanyuan''s new autumn clothes.

    Putting on a loose white fur coat, An Rao reached out to fiddle with the embroidery on the clothes. "Yuan Yuan, why are you so good at drawing? What is this? It''s so beautiful."

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. "This is for you."

    "Really?" An Rao leaned over and hugged Xia Wanyuan''s arm. "I know you''re the best. Try it too. It''s so beautiful."

    Xia Wanyuan was about to reject her when she suddenly remembered that she had already "unloaded". Her figure had returned to its original state and she did not have to worry about the child anymore.

    Xia Wanyuan went forward to change two pieces. An Rao supported her chin and looked at them for a long time. A malicious smile suddenly appeared on her face. "Yuan Yuan, your figure seems to have improved."

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. She followed An Rao''s gaze and looked down, looking a little embarrassed.

    "Tsk tsk." An Rao circled Xia Wanyuan twice. "We both gave birth, but why did you be so good-looking after giving birth? I''m no different from before."

    "No, there''s no difference." Xia Wanyuan put on her coat and covered An Rao''s vision.

 Chapter 1387 - 1387 Give the Little Baby a Name

    1387 Give the Little Baby a Name

    An Rao wanted to cause more trouble, but Xia Wanyuan stuffed Xiao Qingli into An Rao¡¯s arms. An Rao no longer had the mood to y.

    Looking at the cute little dumpling in her arms, An Rao sighed and reached out to pinch the little dumpling¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re cute, but why are you so difficult to serve?¡±

    While An Rao was taking care of the child, Xia Wanyuan returned to the bedroom with her things.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sneaky appearance, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. He reached out to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What are you doing? You¡¯re so sneaky.¡±

    !!

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just ying with An Rao.¡± Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and prepared to change into a coat. ¡°I¡¯ve rested at home for so long. I should go to work. There are still many things waiting for me.¡±

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly.

    Before he could speak, Xia Wanyuan interrupted him first. ¡°I¡¯ve already rested for a month. Didn¡¯t Shen Xiu say that my health is very good? I was already recuperating very well half a month ago. You were the one who insisted that I rest at home for a while more.¡±

    Jun Shiling was rendered speechless. He reached out and pinched the space between his eyebrows. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll pick you up in the morning, noon, and night.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the production team tomorrow. The television drama can be submitted.¡±

    ¡°Come here.¡± Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wanyuan put on her coat and walked towards Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. His hand wrapped around Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and he nced at her, his eyes burning.

    ¡°Why do I feel that you¡¯re even more¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to cover Jun Shiling¡¯s mouth. ¡°Shut up. The child is still beside you.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan observed the two children sleeping in the cradle beside her. ¡°If you wake them up, you¡¯ll be in charge.¡±

    Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s palm. Xia Wanyuan shrank back from the heat. ¡°You!¡±

    ¡°When have I not been in charge??¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s words touched Xia Wanyuan a little. Although Jun Shiling was especially busy with work, as he had said, as long as he had time and returned home,

    Jun Shiling had never let Xia Wanyuan touch the children¡¯s food, drinks, poo or pee.

    Even if Xia Wanyuan wanted to carry the child, Jun Shiling would clean the child up and ce him in her arms.

    Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions slowed down.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan closer. ¡°Baby, it¡¯s been almost a year. I miss you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling but did not push him. ¡°But, child¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling whispered something into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ear, and she scolded him jokingly, ¡°Hooligan.¡±

    Jun Shiling threw away the document in his hand, picked Xia Wanyuan up, and entered the bathroom.

    Worried about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s body, although he did not really eat meat, Jun Shiling, who was married, was top-notch at unlocking all sorts of tricks.

    Jun Shiling coaxed Xia Wanyuan until two hourster before bringing her out of the bathroom.

    Xia Wanyuan was already very tired from Jun Shiling¡¯s torture. She looked at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°Liar.¡±

    Jun Shiling, who was half-full, had a hint of spring in his eyes. ¡°What did I lie to you about?¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s red lips and pink face, the mes in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes burned again. He lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Alright, go to sleep. I¡¯ll change the child¡¯s clothes.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan was toozy to move and allowed Jun Shiling to carry her to the bed.

    Jun Shiling covered her with the nket and was about to leave when Xia Wanyuan stopped him. ¡°It¡¯s been so long, but I haven¡¯t given her a name.¡±

    Up until now, these two children had not even had a nickname.

    ¡°The daughter¡¯s name is Xingxing.¡± Jun Shiling turned around with a gentle expression.

    ¡°What about the son?¡±

    ¡°Ignore him.¡± The disdain in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes was obvious.

    Xia Wanyuan casually took a pillow and threw it at Jun Shiling. ¡°No, think of one.¡±

    ¡°Then Yangyang.¡± Jun Shiling gave him a rather casual nickname. ¡°I¡¯ve actually thought of their names long ago.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Jun Jiajin, Jun Muxia.¡±

    Hearing these two names, two dimples appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t like sons?¡±

    Jiajin [1. It means to be outstanding and brilliant.] , this was Jun Shiling¡¯s best wish for his son.

    Muxia [2. It means admiring ¡®Xia¡¯.] was Jun Shiling¡¯s love for Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling coughed lightly. ¡°I saw it when I flipped through the dictionary and casually picked it out. Does it sound good?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s nice. This is it.¡±

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡±

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan got pregnant, many things had happened. She had disappeared from the Inte for a long time. Every day, countlessizens habitually found Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo to take a look.

    As usual, everyone came to see if Xia Wanyuan had updated. Then, they were surprised to discover that Xia Wanyuan had actually updated a new post.

    It was two calligraphy works written by Xia Wanyuan herself. It was a few very simple words.

    ¡°Jun Jiajin¡± ¡°Jun Muxia¡±

 Chapter 1388 - 1388 Leader

    1388 Leader

    Finally, they saw Xia Wanyuan, who had been missing for a few months, post on Weibo. The fans were so happy that they wished they could go out and set off two strings of firecrackers immediately.

    When they saw what Xia Wanyuan had sent, the fans looked up at the sky and sighed.

    The words ¡°Jun Muxia¡± were too obvious!!!

    [ Good lord, Yuan Yuan, did you start after confinement?!! Boohoo, you¡¯re showing off your love again, but I like it!! Feed me more dog food! ]

    [Jun Jiajin, what a nice name. I feel that he¡¯s a gentleman. Jun Muxia sounds so good too. Who knows how to reincarnate so well? They¡¯re simply winners in life born with a golden spoon.]

    [I¡¯m envious of these two babies. Good lord, they were born in Rome, unlike me, who was born to be a ve. Can I apply to be reincarnated again?]

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan posted this Weibo post, An Rao reposted it andmented, ¡°Little Xiaxia is already reserved for our Little Qingli!! Respect this mother-inw first.¡±

    Xuan Sheng also reposted on Weibo. ¡°I¡¯ve already crafted the golden lock for them.¡±

    Other than An Rao and Xuan Sheng, almost a hundred people, including the principal of Qing University, the president of the Painter Association, the official leader, and so on, reposted Xia Wanyuan¡¯s Weibo one after another to express their joy at the birth of these two children.

    Looking at these big shots who could almost be considered half of China, theizens were stunned.

    [Is this the legendary group favor??? I can already imagine how popr this child will be when he grows up.]

    [ They were just born and have already be the treasure of the big shots in China. Good lord, amazing. ]

    In Continent F, Wei Zimu sat at the peak of the mountain and looked at Weibo on his phone. His eyes were filled with warmth.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you toe back so early.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s footsteps came from behind.

    Wei Zimu turned around calmly. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t Ie back?¡±

    Yu Qian looked at Wei Zimu quietly for a while. ¡°Brother, you seem to have changed recently.¡±

    Previously, when the brothers had just reunited, Wei Zimu was both relieved and disgusted by his younger brother¡¯s existence. He could clearly feel that Wei Zimu wanted to draw a line with him and return to the sunlight.

    However, this time, when he allowed Wei Zimu to return to China, he thought that Wei Zimu would not return to the base for a long time. He did not expect Wei Zimu to return to the base consciously in just half a month.

    ¡°I¡¯ve changed. Isn¡¯t that good?¡± Wei Zimu stood up and reached out to pat Yu Qian¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I heard from Jayce that you raised some orchids. I want to see where they are.¡±

    Yu Qian wanted to reject him, but for some reason, he did not reject Wei Zimu as he watched him leave.

    Yu Qian was stunned on the spot for a while before following Wei Zimu.

    He felt that his interactions with Wei Zimu had been very wrong recently. Wei Zimu seemed to have gradually ced himself in the position of big brother and began to dominate their rtionship.

    Yu Qian was originally not restrained by anything, but recently, he kept making exceptions because of Wei Zimu.

    Yu Qian knew that it was very dangerous to develop like this, but looking at the side profile that was simr to his, Yu Qian pursed his lips and did not say anything in the end.

    Seeing the carefully nurtured lotus petals, Wei Zimu was a little surprised. He turned around and smiled at Yu Qian. ¡°You raised them very well.¡±

    In a daze, Yu Qian recalled that twenty years ago, when he picked up a coin and handed it to Wei Zimu, Wei Zimu would also praise him like this.

 Chapter 1389 - 1389 Return After Giving Birth

    1389 Return After Giving Birth

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression suddenly became a little angry. He turned around and flicked his sleeves. ¡°I didn¡¯t raise it. Jayce and the rest brought it over.¡±

    Wei Zimu smiled and did not retort, but his smiling eyes clearly told Yu Qian that he knew that Yu Qian had personally gotten someone to get the lotus petal orchid.

    Just as the two brothers were in a deadlock, Jayce walked over from afar. ¡°Boss, someone from ck Shark is waiting for you in the living room.¡±

    The expression on Yu Qian¡¯s face instantly changed. The anger in front of Wei Zimu disappeared, and he became that expressionless K again.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go over now.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    With that, Jayce left the mountain peak with Yu Qian and walked towards the living room.

    Watching them leave, the smile in Wei Zimu¡¯s eyes dissipated. After doing things by Yu Qian¡¯s side for so long, thest thing he wanted to hear was the news of Yu Qian and ck Shark being tied together.

    ck Shark was famous for being an underground overlord in the global sea world. He relied on his powerful sea transport ability to do countless dark things.

    He thought of the strange medicine reagents in Yu Qian¡¯sboratory and had a bad feeling.

    In the living room, ck Shark was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Seeing Yu Qian walk over, ck Shark pushed the teacup away. ¡°Boss K, what strange water is this? I¡¯m not willing to drink this.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s gaze circled the teacup, then looked at Jayce. ¡°Did you hear that? Hurry up and change a cup of coffee.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After Jayce left, Yu Qian walked forward. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why did youe personally?¡±

    ¡°Boss Yu, I¡¯ve already done everything you asked me to do. So many factories have started production and arge number of vine medicines have been stored, but what about the thing you promised me?¡±

    Yu Qian sat opposite ck Shark and ced his hands on hisp, leaning naturally on the sofa. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡±

    ¡°How can I not be anxious?¡± Anxiousness appeared in ck Shark¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you know how much money I¡¯ll lose if things don¡¯t turn out well?? You were the one who said it was profitable. Let me tell you, if I lose money, you have to be my scapegoat.¡±

    Yu Qian was not threatened by ck Shark at all. He even smiled calmly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. ¡°A month.¡±

    ¡°A month?!¡± ck Shark¡¯s voice instantly raised. ¡°No, do you know how much it costs for a month?!!¡±

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes and looked straight at ck Shark. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can stop the cooperation immediately. However, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re in a difficult position now, right?¡±

    ¡°You!¡± ck Shark stood up and red at Yu Qian. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have listened to your nonsense back then.¡±

    Yu Qian looked straight at ck Shark. ¡°We¡¯re already at the middle of the river. You can¡¯t go back anymore. Either wait or quit. Your choice.¡±

    ck Shark red at Yu Qian angrily, almost wanting to bite off a piece of meat from him. After a while, the flesh on his face trembled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give you a month. If I don¡¯t see any benefits after a month, I¡¯ll severely injure you even if I have to use all my strength.¡±

    Yu Qian chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s not easy for you toe. Why don¡¯t you stay here?¡±

    ck Shark snorted softly. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to live in Boss Yu¡¯s territory. Thank you for your kindness, Boss Yu. Farewell.¡±

    With that, ck Shark stood up and left.

    Jayce came in with a cup of ck coffee and happened to see ck Shark leave angrily. He carefully walked to Yu Qian. ¡°Boss, ck Shark left?¡±

    Yu Qian thought quietly. After a while, he looked at Jayce. ¡°How¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Things are progressing rtively smoothly in Continent F, but it¡¯s very troublesome in China. You know that they¡¯re very strict. Furthermore, this time, Bo Xiao was sent there. His ability is very strong, and a rtively strong barrier has been built in the southwest.¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°No matter how strong a barrier is, it has weaknesses.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you mean?¡±

    Yu Qian waved at Jayce, who leaned over. A minuteter, Jayce left the room and went straight out of the base.

    Wei Zimu stood on the peak of the mountain and watched ck Shark leave angrily from afar. Then, he saw Jayce leave the base, and his eyes were filled with worry.

    In the ssroom of the literature ss at Qing University, the students were waiting for Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arrival.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan¡¯s stomach grew bigger, she rarely came to school. After she gave birth, Jun Shiling had been too strict and she never had the chance to go out.

    Now that they knew that Xia Wanyuan was returning to school, the students were extremely excited.

    The bell finally rang and footsteps came from the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the door in unison.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a white windbreaker, walked in. She was wearing a light blue turtleneck sweater and a simple white windbreaker. She looked very good. Her skin was fair and had a hint of redness. Her eyes were watery, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

    ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± Xia Wanyuan waved at the students.

    ¡°Hello, Professor Xia!!¡± The students¡¯ voices were so loud that they almost lifted the roof.

    Finally, she returned to the familiar lecture hall. Xia Wanyuan was in a good mood. She walked to the podium and began today¡¯s lecture.

    After the lesson ended, the news of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first appearance after giving birth spread on the Inte.

    Looking at the photos taken by the students about Xia Wanyuan, theizens cheered and were a little shocked.

    [ I¡¯m convinced. Why is Xia Wanyuan in such a good state after giving birth?? She doesn¡¯t look like someone who has given birth at all. Compared to her, I, a sixteen-year-old, look like I just gave birth to two children. ]

    [ So beautiful, so beautiful. I¡¯m already tired of saying these words. Why is she so beautiful? I really want to know how she went through confinement. This state is too amazing. ]

    [ The person in front, I heard from my sisters who work in the Jun Corporation that Jun Shiling took care of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s confinement period. In this month, CEO Jun iste and leaves early. When he has time, he goes home to serve his wife. ]

    [ I¡¯m so envious that I¡¯m crying. After marrying the right man, giving birth isn¡¯t so scary anymore. Damn, in the end, Xia Wanyuan is still worth it. ]

    In the eyes of theizens, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s return after giving birth was something worth cheering for. However, in the eyes of the other forces in Beijing, this was an extremely worrying matter.

    During this period of time, because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s health, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had been in a trance.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan had appeared, didn¡¯t that mean that Jun Shiling was about to make aeback?

    The fear of being dominated by this couple still lingered in everyone¡¯s minds. Looking at the two of them, the heads of the other families in Beijing began to ache.

 Chapter 1390 - 1390 Film Set

    1390 Film Set

    The Jiang Corporation.

    The current Jiang family had already beenpletely subdued by Jiang Yun. Everyone in the corporation was shocked by Jiang Yun¡¯s methods.

    ¡°CEO Jiang, Xia Wanyuan has already begun to be active. I¡¯m afraid Jun Shiling will start moving soon. Our hands in Continent M have recently crossed the border of the Jun Corporation. I¡¯m afraid Jun Shiling will counterattack when he reacts.¡± The assistant stood at his desk and reported the current situation.

    ¡°So be it.¡± Jiang Yun looked up, her gaze even sharper than before. It was the sharpness that had been polished after truly standing at the peak of power. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t counterattack, he won¡¯t be Jun Shiling.¡±

    The assistant could not understand why Jiang Yun was so calm, but he did not dare to say much about the leader. ¡°Then what should we do now?¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Jiang Yun lowered her head and signed her name on the document. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with all changes by not changing.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± After the assistant reported his work, he told Jiang Yun, ¡°Mr. Lin has been waiting outside for a long time.¡±

    ]Jiang Yun frowned slightly. ¡°If anything happens next time, let him in first before talking about work.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll invite Mr. Lin over now.¡±

    Soon, Lin Qingdai entered the office.

    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Jiang Yun stood up and walked towards Lin Qingdai.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Qingdai sat in a wheelchair and smiled at Jiang Yun. ¡°I brought you some food. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    Jiang Yun gave her assistant a look and gestured for him to leave first.

    The assistant nodded respectfully. The moment he turned around, a hint of regret shed across his eyes.

    Sigh, our CEO Jiang is now the actual head of the Jiang family. She can have any man she wants. I really don¡¯t know why she married a handicapped man like Lin Qingdai.

    In the office, Lin Qingdai sat at the side and watched Jiang Yun eat. asionally, he would reach out and tuck Jiang Yun¡¯s hair behind her head.

    ¡°Ah Yun.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything else. I won¡¯t agree to a divorce,¡± Jiang Yun said firmly as she ate.

    Lin Qingdai was stunned for a moment before smiling. ¡°Why do you think I¡¯ll mention divorce to you?¡±

    Jiang Yun looked up at Lin Qingdai. ¡°That¡¯s not what you mean?¡±

    Ever since she became the head of the Jiang family, more or less some rumors had spread to her. She thought that with Lin Qingdai¡¯s personality, he would take the initiative to propose a divorce to lessen the rumors.

    The smile on Lin Qingdai¡¯s face widened. He leaned over and kissed Jiang Yun gently on the cheek, then looked straight into her eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯ve waited for so long and used all my ns to finally marry you. How can I bear to divorce you? Unless you take the initiative to leave me, I¡¯ll never leave you.¡±

    The love in Lin Qingdai¡¯s eyes was about to overflow. Jiang Yun turned her head unnaturally. ¡°Then what were you going to tell me just now?¡±

    ¡°I want to ask you if our Lin family¡¯s head is making things difficult for you again?¡±

    Now that the Wei family was controlled by Wei Jin, it was equivalent to indirectly bing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s power. To Lin Qingyuan, losing the Wei family¡¯s help was equivalent to losing his right-hand man. He naturally had to find a new partner.

    With the marriage, Lin Qingyuan naturally looked at Jiang Yun.

    ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yun smiled at Lin Qingdai. ¡°You underestimate me too much. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be restrained by him.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Lin Qingdai turned his wheelchair and walked to the desk at the side. ¡°Let me help you look at the documents.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Lin Qingdai flipped through it for a while and looked up at Jiang Yun. ¡°Must the Jiang family and the Jun family fight to the death?¡±

    Among the documents in front of Jiang Yun, more than half of the businesses werepetitors with the Jun family. There was also arge amount of analysis on the Jun family.

    ¡°No matter who is in this position, this might be the only way for the Jun family.¡± Because the entire capital could only amodate one overlord.

    Lin Qingdai did not say anything else. He picked up the document and read it quietly.

    At this moment, something that had exploded on social media had just happened in the outside world. ¡°Ice¡±, which everyone in the world had been waiting for, had begun to broadcast.

    On the same day, ¡°Under the Sky¡± also announced its fixed time, three dayster.

    As expected of a huge television drama that was praised by the global audience as a "miracle work". "Ice" had just been broadcasted, but it had already ignited the viewership of all the major tforms.

    And for "Under the Sky" to choose this time to announce the date was undoubtedly a provocation in the eyes of many fans of "Ice".

    [ This poprity is riding on it. Don''t tell me "Under the Sky" really thinks that by broadcasting "Ice" together, it can surpass its overlord status? ]

    [I have to praise the courage of "Under the Sky". Really, they actually dared to set the release date with "Ice". Good lord, their courage ismendable.]

    [I heard that there are several television dramas that changed their screening time overnight when they found out that "Ice" was released in the past few days. They were afraid that they would be crushed by "Ice". "Under the Sky" is quite amazing. Not only does it not avoid the edge, but it can also face difficulties head-on. Good lord, amazing.]

    Looking at thements online, Lu Li, who was originally confident, panicked a little. "Brother Chen, is our screening time not suitable?"

    Chen Yun nced at Weibo and snorted softly. "You don''t understand. This is called poprity."

    "But ''Ice'' is too popr. Can we digest it?"

    Because many domestic dramas had been crudely made over the years, it caused the audience to have a very bad impression of domestic dramas. When domestic dramas were mentioned, they gritted their teeth in hatred.

    As the "white moonlight" in the eyes of the audience, Lu Li was worried that if she collided with ''Ice'', "Under the Sky" would be boycotted by the audience.

    "Do you know what logic I learned after following Xia Wanyuan for so long?" Chen Yun looked at Lu Li.

    "What?"

    "That is, quality solves everything." Chen Yun looked confident. "I''ve already gone to take a look at the product in advance. Don''t worry, I''m just waiting to earn money this time."

    Lu Li looked at Chen Yun skeptically. "Brother Chen, don''t lie to me."

    "Even if you don''t believe me, you have to believe Xia Wanyuan." Chen Yun smiledfortingly at Lu Li. "Alright, we have to start preparing for the screening in three days."

    "Mm!"<novelnext></novelnext>

    As Xia Wanyuan''s first television drama to be a director, she definitely had to attend this premiere.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan and Lu Limunicated for a long time about the details of the premiere ceremony. After hanging up the phone with Lu Li, Xia Wanyuan realized that there were several missed calls on her phone.

    Xia Wanyuan called back. It was Shen Qian.

    "CEO Xia, I''ve already gotten someone to send everything migrated from the ancient desert tomb back to Beijing. They can probably reach the manor today."

    "Okay."

    Speak of the devil. Just as Shen Qian finished speaking to Xia Wanyuan, Uncle Wang got the servants to carry a fewrge boxes in.

    "Madam, this just arrived today. The person who sent it said that Shen Qian sent it."

    "Mm." Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Leave the things."

    Uncle Wang left with the servants. Xia Wanyuan walked to the box and took a look. Shen Qian had already gotten someone to clean it safely in advance. Xia Wanyuan reached out and opened the box.

    There was only a transparent jade cauldron in the entire box.

    Xia Wanyuan knew this jade cauldron. This was a national treasure of the Great Xia Dynasty. It had been passed down for generations and had always been handed to the ruler of a country.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the jade cauldron that emitted a thick and ancient aura and could not help but reach out to touch it.

    The jade cauldron was made of the most expensive Heavenly Mountain Warm Jade. Even though it had been a thousand years and had been soaked in a thousand years of cold, when Xia Wanyuan''s hand touched the jade cauldron, the temperature on the surface of the jade cauldron quickly matched Xia Wanyuan''s body temperature.

    Arge number of relief sculptures surrounded the jade cauldron. The moment Xia Wanyuan''s hand touched it, the relief sculptures seemed to light up slightly.

 Chapter 1392 - 1392 Day of Resurrection

    1392 Day of Resurrection

    Xia Wanyuan seemed to have seen the jade cauldron suddenly light up. She frowned and ced her hand on it to touch it again. However, there were no special changes to the jade cauldron.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Ding in confusion. Could I have seen it wrongly?? Perhaps it¡¯s just the refraction of the light?

    ¡°The thing is here?¡± Just as Xia Wanyuan was looking at jade cauldron in confusion, Jun Shiling walked in, lowered his head, and kissed her first.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°I¡¯m thinking about serious matters. Can you be more serious?¡±

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°I can¡¯t be serious. I¡¯ve been sealed for so long. You have topensate me more.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pped Jun Shiling¡¯s hand away angrily and pointed at the jade cauldron. ¡°Look at this jade cauldron. Don¡¯t you think there¡¯s something wrong with it?¡±

    Jun Shiling watched quietly for a while, then pointed at the dragon circling above the jade cauldron. ¡°Look here.¡±

    Following Jun Shiling¡¯s finger, Xia Wanyuan took a look and her eyes widened.

    Perhaps because she was too familiar with the jade cauldron, she did not find anything unusual after obtaining it. Now, she realized that the dragon circling in the middle of the jade cauldron actually did not have eyes.

    ¡°That¡¯s not right. I remember it back then.¡± Xia Wanyuan studied it carefully. ¡°Back then, I saw this jade cauldron in Father¡¯s hands once. It clearly had eyes.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Drawing the dragon and finishing up with the eyes.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, a hint of confusion appeared on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°The eye is the core of the entire dragon, which is the core of the entire jade cauldron. Think about it. Back then, your ancestor left this jade cauldron and didn¡¯t say anything else?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan recalled and shook her head. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Alright, so be it.¡± Jun Shiling ced the jade cauldron in the box. ¡°You¡¯re worried enough. You¡¯re already thin, but you¡¯ve be thinner recently.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was about to say something when Jun Shiling picked her up. ¡°Hey, Jun Shiling, what are you doing?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. I¡¯ll carry you up to sleep. How big can your little head be? You¡¯re so worried every day. I¡¯m still here. Sleep well first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s struggle was useless and she was sent upstairs to the bedroom by Jun Shiling.

    After watching Xia Wanyuan fall asleep, Jun Shiling returned to the study to deal with all sorts of things.

    ¡°Sir.¡± On the secretwork, a subordinate sent back news.

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°ording to your instructions, we¡¯ve investigated all the ces recorded in the documents and visited 231 ancient tribes. We sorted out some legend records that might be rted into a document for you to take a look.¡±

    With that, his subordinate sent over an encrypted document package.

    Jun Shiling opened the document and read it word by word.

    When he saw the records of an ancient tribe called the Element Splitting Race, Jun Shiling slowed down.

    This tribe had already be a legend a thousand years ago. In the legend, this tribe could obtain the conversion of time throughmunication with the High God, but the price was quite shocking.

    Changing time. Not only did these words sound evil, but they also had a powerful attraction. Countless people wanted to take the Element Splitting Race for themselves and make it work for them.

    In the long battle, the Element Splitting Race gradually disappeared. In the end, itpletely became a legend.

    Looking at the words ¡°convert time and space¡±, Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes. He looked at the time of the existence of the Element Splitting Race that his subordinate had sorted out and immediately sat up straight.

    ording to the information, the time when this legendary Element Splitting Race officially disappeared was when the Great Xia Dynasty was established.

    Was there some connection or was it just a coincidence?

    Jun Shiling stared at the document for a long time, then reached out and shattered it.

    At this moment, in Continent F, the Chu family.

    ¡°Young Master Chu, is this the sincerity you want to show me??¡± The ck-robed man sat in the living room, picked up a teacup, and ced it under the wide brim of his hat.

    The moment he drank the tea, the brim of his hat opened slightly, and a small piece of pale skin could be seen. Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. He did not expect this ck-robed man to be so young.

    ¡°Haven¡¯t I already prepared what you want?¡± Chu Yi frowned. ¡°What else do you want?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s ready?¡± The ck-robed man suddenly mmed the table. ¡°You¡¯ve prepared the ten Feng family members I wanted, but let me ask you, where¡¯s Feng Wuyou¡¯s corpse?¡±

    Chu Yi looked straight at the ck-robed man. ¡°Why must there be Feng Wuyou¡¯s corpse? I found twenty Feng family members for you. Isn¡¯t that enough?¡±

    ¡°Feng Wuyou is the Feng family member with the purest bloodline in the past few hundred years,¡± the ck-robed man exined quietly without any emotions. ¡°Only her soul can ignite the fire of life of Emperor Yuan.¡±

    Hearing the ck-robed man¡¯s words, Chu Yi only noticed the word soul. ¡°What do you mean? She¡¯s been dead for so long. How can she still have a soul?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why I said that the bloodline of the Feng family and monks is rtively special. Within a year, as long as I use the right method, I can gather Feng Wuyou¡¯s soul that has dissipated in the world.¡±

    Chu Yi gradually sat up straight, and his expression gradually became serious. ¡°How?¡±

    The ck-robed man looked at Chu Yi quietly for a while and suddenlyughed. ¡°Young Master Chu, don¡¯t tell me you want to revive your fianc¨¦e?¡±

    Chu Yi tightened his grip on hisp. ¡°How is that possible?¡±

    The ck-robed man sneered. ¡°Young Master Chu, you can¡¯t lie to me about this. Anyway, I won¡¯t tell you the steps. As for whether you want to revive Emperor Xia Yuan, that¡¯s up to you.¡±

    With that, the ck-robed man sat quietly and waited for Chu Yi¡¯s answer.

    To a man, especially a man like Chu Yi who was filled with ambition and desire to conquer, the wealth represented by Emperor Xia Yuan was actually not very attractive to him.

    What attracted him the most was the path of unraveling Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s secrets step by step. It was interesting, challenging, and exciting, especially since this was a corpse from a thousand years ago. No one could resist such a temptation of reviving a person from a thousand years ago in his hands.

    As expected, after hesitating for a while, Chu Yi finally nodded. ¡°I promise you. When can we start?¡±

    ¡°Three dayster. I¡¯ve already decided on this time.¡±

    ¡°Okay, as you say.¡±

    The matter was finally settled, and the ck-robed man quietly left the Chu residence.

    Chu Yi sat in the living room for a long time. It was only when it began to drizzle outside that he finally woke up and looked outside.

 Chapter 1393 Mother And Son

    In the courtyard, Su Yao was holding an umbre and looking at the sky quietly.

    From Chu Yi''s angle, Su Yao was very thin. She even gave him a feeling that she was about to disappear from the rain in the next second.

    After some time, Su Yao finally turned around and nced at Chu Yi, then walked towards him. "Young Master."

    Chu Yi replied and looked at the footprints at the door. "When did youe?"

    "When you first started talking, I heard what you were saying about Feng Wuyou''s corpse. I knew I shouldn''t have listened, so I retreated. I only came when the person in the ck robe left."

    Su Yao told him everything honestly. Chu Yi looked at her for a while but did not say anything in the end. He pulled Su Yao into his arms. "Are you happy? My ex-wife is finally going topletely disappear from this world."

    Su Yao smiled at Chu Yi and ced her hand on his shoulder. "Of course I''m very happy."

    Chu Yi lowered his head to look for Su Yao''s red lips. "Really? As long as you''re happy."

    In China, Xia Wanyuan woke up and met two pairs of round ck grape-like eyes.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could get up, the two babies crawled to her side and hugged her neck with one arm each.

    Caught off guard, Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. She wanted to push the two babies away. Not only did the two children not let go, but they also leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan''s face.

    "They''re still smart and know where their mother is." Jun Shiling walked over and picked up a child with each hand. "Don''t disturb your mother."

    The two babies did not understand what Jun Shiling was saying and babbled. Two pairs of bright eyes looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to Jun Shiling. "Give me a hug."

    Before Jun Shiling could hand the child over, a small head suddenly leaned over. Xiao Bao looked excitedly at the child in Jun Shiling''s arms. "Daddy, I want to hug my sister too. Let me hug my sister."

    Jun Shiling ced the two children in the cradle at the side. Xiao Bao fully disyed his brother''s sense of responsibility, making his younger siblingsugh.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling reproachfully. "Can''t you let me hug them?"

    "No, your body is weak and can''t take the torture..."

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan pinched his waist. "Why didn''t you say that I was weakst night?"

    Jun Shiling smiled. "Alright, I have something to tell you."

    "What is it?"

    Jun Shiling told Xia Wanyuan about the Element Splitting Race. "Have you heard of this tribe?"

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Finally, she found some clues in the depths of her memory. "I''ve heard of it. Back then, my father''s subordinates seemed to have mentioned such a tribe. At that time, I was still young. I only heard about it and don''t have any other memories."

    "Therefore, this tribe really exists. This is something that can be confirmed at the moment."

    "Mm." Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Bring me the information."

    "It''s already shredded. There have been too many unsafe things recently, so it''s not good to keep it."

    Jun Shiling had always been sharp. He could feel that the tentacles of the major factions in the world had already reached China.

    Ever since Jun Shiling had told Xia Wanyuan about the Element Splitting Race, she had been a little worried. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

    This day was the premiere of "Under the Sky".

    This premiere ceremony attracted the gazes of thousands of audiences and attracted a lot of criticism.

 Chapter 1394 Amazing Premiere Of The TV Series

    Xia Wanyuan was already the most popr female celebrity in China and had countless fans. Although everyone was worried that the quality of "Under the Sky" was not satisfactory, as their idol''s directorial debut, the fans were looking forward to it.

    However, overseas, Xia Wanyuan had rtively fewer fans. Most of them were anti-fans who hated her.

    Because she was now the representative figure of China and had broken the shackles of Chinese culture alone, to foreigners who hoped for China to decline, they naturally hated Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing that the television drama was about to be released, arge number of criticisms came towards "Under the Sky". There were even relevant votes on many forums.

    "Come,e,e. Let''s take a walk and guess what viewership ratings Xia Wanyuan''s virgin product can achieve to break the overlord status of ''Ice''."

    [As a veteran fan, I can only say that I really hope that China''s movies and television dramas canpare to international standards. But to be honest, the quality of our artistic works can''tpare to other countries'', okay?]

    [ Actually, I think with Xia Wanyuan''s previous standards, the quality of this television drama can be rest assured. The viewership ratings probably won''t be bad, but it''s a little impossible to surpass "Ice". ]

    [ "Ice" has been umted for five years and has a huge influence worldwide. Can there be a movie in China that foreigners are familiar with? They still want to surpass... If they can reach half of their standards, I''m willing to give Xia Wanyuan a thumbs up. ]

    At this moment, at the premiere of "Under the Sky", Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the middle of the podium as the director.

    It was time for the media to ask questions. After the reporters asked a lot of questions about the plot of the television drama, someone finally could not help but stand up.

    "I have a question for Director Xia. You should have seen the debate online about this television drama, right? I wonder what you think of ''Ice'' and ''Under the Sky''? Do you think your television drama can surpass ssics?"

    When this sharp question was asked, the staff immediately stood up and prepared to help Xia Wanyuan block this question.

    However, Xia Wanyuan gently waved her hand, signaling the staff to retreat. She opened the microphone. "I did pay attention to this problem. Everyone has different opinions about works. As long as it can make the audience like it, why can''t they be a ssic parallel"

    The reporter saw the controversy in Xia Wanyuan''s question. "ssic parallelism? You mean, you think your work can be a ssic?"

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. "It''s not up to me. It''s up to the audience."

    Media reporters were the best at dancing and writing.

    Thements that were quite normal at the interview had spread to the entire Inte after the media fermented.

    "Xia Wanyuan said that ''Ice'' and ''Under the Sky'' are ssic parallels."

    Seeing this news, the domesticizens felt that it was too arrogant, let alone the foreignwork with the most fans of "Ice".

    Countless foreignizens regarded "Ice" as their number one masterpiece. Now, an unknown director actually said that her work was as ssic as "Ice"?<novelnext></novelnext>

    Theizens on the Inte could not take it anymore. They began to scroll through the topic "Who is Under the Sky" to mock the television drama.

    [ I''m dying ofughter. I''ve watched "Ice" for five years. May I ask where this "Sky" came from? ]

    [I have to watch "Under the Sky" today. I want to see which television drama is so shameless to want to ride on the poprity of our "Ice".]

    [ You''re all scolding Xia Wanyuan. I just want to say something silently. Don''t you think Xia Wanyuan is a magical person? Do you really think she can''t film a television drama well?? I vaguely remember that you scolded her like this in the previous Moon Bay project. ]

    The asional positivements were drowned by the huge mocking army. Amidst the various controversies of theizens, it gradually reached eight in the evening.

    This time happened to be the time when "Ice" was broadcasted, and it was also the time when "Under the Sky" would premiere in China.

    Due to the fact that there had been too many topics about these two television dramas recently, everyone, whether they liked to watch television or not, leaned towards the screen that night, wanting to see how a winner would be determined between the two television dramas.

    Under everyone''s fervent expectations, the television drama began.

    "Ice" continued its usual epic style and was a familiar style to the audience.

    "Under the Sky" had an obvious oriental cultural style. The ink spread out, and smoke curled around. The Yaotai Immortal Mountain, the magnificent and beautiful Nine Heavens Pce, upied the audience''s eyes immediately.

    There were quite a lot of deity-martial art television dramas in China, so the audience was already very familiar with scenes like the Heavenly Pce. However, when they saw the set of "Under the Sky", the audience''s first reaction was.

    F*ck, this funding burned ten million yuan a second?!!

    In the past, in order to save money, the production team would basically choose a simple long shot and then use special effects to build a close-up. Although the current technology could almost be faked, it stillcked some meaning.

    However, "Under the Sky" was different. Xia Wanyuan wanted toplete a work without considering the cost. In addition, the special effectspany of this television drama was under the Xiafeng Group. There was no problem of cutting corners to save money.

    The phoenix cried out and dragged the mes across the towering pce. The Nine Heavens Pce was endless. The camera swept over. In such a vast scene, no detail was treated perfunctorily. A tree, a flower, all of them seemed to have appeared alive in front of everyone.

    [ F*ck, I''m shocked by this special effect. Is this really a special effect that our Chinese television drama can have??? I was just amazed next door. I thought that the one next door was already amazing enough, but from the looks of it, it seems that our country''s television drama is even more amazing? ]

    [As expected of a television drama filmed by the wife of the richest man. Good lord, this is directly thrown with money, right? What''s the use of good special effects? If the plot isn''t good, it''s still useless. A shy television drama is still better than the one next door.]

    [I don''t understand. Why are you so good at arguing? The television drama has only been broadcasted for three minutes, and you''re already saying that the plot isn''t good?? Do you know how to calcte? Then why don''t you calcte when your lousy mouth will be beaten up?]

 Chapter 1395 Success

    Thements were noisy, but be it support or nder,

    From the data detected by various monitoring organizations, the viewership ratings of "Under the Sky" were quite high and were still rising.

    The fans waited for the plot to develop further with anticipation and trepidation. Scenes that were like movie paintings appeared one after another. Characters appeared one after another and grabbed everyone''s hearts.

    Jun Shiling was cold and noble, Xuan Sheng was evil and cold, and Yan Ci was gentle and rxed. When every character walked out, thements were filled with exmations.

    Unknowingly, two hours had passed and the ending song began to appear on the screen.

    The audience looked at the ending song and then at the progress bar.

    What?? That''s it?? Why so fast?? Something''s wrong??

    [ F*ck, I haven''t finished watching it. Why is it gone? Ahhh, it''s so beautiful!! I love Jun Shiling to death. Why is he so handsome? Alright, I''ll choose him as my dream partner tonight!! ]

    [ F*ck, I, who have never liked to watch television dramas, actually sat here and watched for two hours?? And I don''t feel anything at all?? Theyout of this scene is too exaggerated. As expected, money is omnipotent. ]

    [ It''s so beautiful!!! I was wrong. I''ll kowtow to Big Boss Xia Wanyuan. Big Boss I''m begging you, y a few more episodes. This special effect is too fierce. I saw a breakthrough in Chinese television dramas. ]

    Thements were filled with excitement. At this moment, the data monitoring organization was also stunned because the data of the television drama "Under the Sky" had increased too ridiculously.

    The data from the beginning was already very good. Who would have thought that after two hours, the market share of the television drama would reach a terrifying 40%? That meant that this television drama had be the highest viewership rating in history and set a record.

    However, what frightened everyone the most was that it had only just begun and two episodes had just been released. No one dared to imagine how much the data would soar at the end of the television drama.

    That night, although the television drama was temporarily over, all sorts of discussions spread on social media.

    When the news spread to the external Inte, it was mocked by foreignizens.

    [ I''m dying ofughter. Have the Chinese not seen any good television dramas?? With your unpresentable special effects, you still have the cheek to brag about ssics? ]

    [I can''t see where that television drama is screening. If I can see it, I must leave a message so that they won''t be too arrogant.]<novelnext></novelnext>

    [Hurry up and watch Ice. Our television drama is still better.]

    As the television drama was only open to domestic channels, there were two extremes of reputation both domestically and abroad.

    In the studio, Chen Yun was celebrating with Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li. "That''s amazing. This opening is a high starting point. If the future can be stabilized, we''ll make history again!!"

    Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan with starry eyes. "Sister Xia, you''re too amazing."

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. "It''s everyone''s credit."

    "No, it''s because you''re amazing!!" Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. "You were the one who thought of the script and directed it. You''re the soul of this television drama. When can I have a tenth of your ability!!"

    "Alright, you guys drink first. I have something on." At that moment, her phone rang. Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone and took a look, then walked to the side.

    "Hello, goddess, help."

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. "Ryan, what''s wrong?"

    Ryan''s tone sounded quite disappointed. "I wonder if Lin Man and Li Na have found some expert to guide them recently. The mother and daughter suddenly became so amazing. The entire Blue family is about to bepletely in their hands."

    "Be more specific."

    On the phone, Ryan told Xia Wanyuan about the Blue family recently. After some time, Ryan sighed. "Help, our family is about to be attacked by the mother and daughter until we have nowhere to hide."

    Speaking of which, the Ryan family could not have been so badly attacked. However, because Ryan was helping Xia Wanyuan openly and secretly, after Lin Man and the rest grasped actual power, they counterattacked crazily.

    "Where are you now?" Xia Wanyuan walked to the window.

    "I''m in Continent M. Our family is here. Where can I go? I think Lin Man and the rest have been a little evil recently. They must have been guided by an expert. Otherwise, with their intelligence, how could they swallow the remaining power of the Feng family so quickly?"

    "The Feng family?" Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes. "They annexed the Feng family? I understand. Stay there first. I''ll get someone to pick you up."

 Chapter 1396 - 1396 Plagiarism

    1396 giarism

    After hanging up the phone with Ryan, Xia Wanyuan sent Shen Qian a message and asked him to send a reliable person to pick up Ryan.

    ¡°CEO Xia, do we need to expand our business in Continent M?¡± Shen Qian was puzzled. Since Xia Wanyuan had already given up the inheritance of the Blue family, why did she continue to interfere in the matters there?

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°Now that the world is very connected, it seems that China and abroad are clearly separated, but there will be an interaction one day. Although I won¡¯t inherit, I can¡¯t let the Blue family slide to the opposite side.¡±

    The Feng family had been taken down by Chu Yi alone. It could be said to be the Chu family¡¯s spoils of war. Now that Lin Man and Li Na could touch the Chu family¡¯s spoils of war, it meant that Lin Man had already contacted the Chu family in private.

    !!

    From the current situation, Chu Yi and K were inextricably linked. If the Chu family was allowed to include the Blue family, the entire Continent M would belong to the Chu family.

    This way, to her and Jun Shiling, the situation would be quite passive.

    ¡°Okay, CEO Xia. I¡¯ll get someone to arrange it immediately.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan sat back on the sofa. Lu Li was reying the television drama. Looking at Xuan Sheng¡¯s appearance in the drama, Lu Li¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Xia Wanyuan was a little amused. ¡°You still like Xuan Sheng?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question, Lu Li bit her lip in embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I mainly think that CEO Xuan is quite handsome now.¡±

    In Lu Li¡¯s opinion, Xuan Sheng liking Xia Wanyuan might be something that would never change in his life. She had thought it through.

    To Xuan Sheng, perhaps liking Xia Wanyuan was a very blissful thing. There was no need for her to break Xuan Sheng¡¯s happiness.

    As Chen Yun and Lu Li watched the television drama, they calcted the benefits brought by the premiere and smiled until their eyes could not be seen.

    Xia Wanyuan carried her bag out of the studio and went straight to the National Cultural Research Institute.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was here again, the director was a little helpless. ¡°Professor Xia, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t wee you, but Old Master Fu has always been unwilling to see you.¡±

    ¡°I came back to ask him this.¡± Xia Wanyuan handed a piece of paper to the director. ¡°Please give this to him and see if he¡¯s willing to see me again.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The director took the paper and turned to go to Old Master Fu¡¯s courtyard.

    Ten minutester, the director returned. ¡°Professor Xia, pleasee in.¡±

    Stepping into the silent courtyard again, Old Master Fu was waiting for Xia Wanyuan at the door with a piece of paper.

    ¡°Old Master Fu.¡± Xia Wanyuan greeted Old Master Fu.

    ¡°How do you know about the Element Splitting Race?? And how do you know that this totem is their symbol?¡±

    Hearing Old Master Fu¡¯s series of questions, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Shall we go in and talk in detail?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Entering the living room, Old Master Fu made Xia Wanyuan a cup of tea. ¡°Did you dig these things out of the ancient tomb?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Yes, Old Master Fu. Do you really think that your teachers and friends died from the poisonous miasma in the ancient tomb? Are you still willing to find the truth for them?¡±

    Old Master Fu¡¯s hand trembled. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I want to know what you know about the Element Splitting Race.¡±

    Old Master Fu looked quietly at the paper with the totem drawn in his hand. ¡°Actually, before I explored the ancient tomb with my mentor, I didn¡¯t know much about this. Just as you said, I suspect the cause of their death. After that incident back then, I¡¯ve been searching everywhere for relevant clues.¡±

    The room was very quiet, with only Old Master Fu¡¯s slow voice. He ced the things he had gathered over the years in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°These are some records I gathered about the Element Splitting Race when I went to visit various ces.¡± As Old Master Fu showed them to Xia Wanyuan, he told her about this strange family.

    Just as Jun Shiling had received the news, this strange family was especially mysterious because of its legendary ability to change time and space.

    It rarely appeared in front of people, and no one had ever seen this family disy its legendary ability to change time and space.

    Most of what Old Master Fu said coincided with what Jun Shiling had said. There was only one ce that made Xia Wanyuan feel very strange.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Xia Wanyuan pointed at a somewhat blurry pattern on the ancient book.

    ¡°A sacred artifact. ording to records, the Element Splitting Race needs a certain medium tomunicate with the power of heaven and earth, and this sacred artifact forged by their n canmunicate with heaven and earth.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stared intently at the blurry pattern on the paper. Why did I feel that this thing looked more and more like our Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s jade cauldron??

    How was that possible? Xia Wanyuan frowned. Perhaps I was wrong, and it was simr.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give these to you.¡± Old Master Fu pushed an entire box in front of Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I originally didn¡¯t have much hope, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so persistent. You came again and again. I hope you can really solve the riddle in my heart.¡±

    With that, Old Master Fu waved at Xia Wanyuan tiredly, signaling her to leave.

    Xia Wanyuan slowly walked out with the things. Her mind was filled with the patterns on the ancient book.

    How could it be so coincidental? If only the pattern on that ancient book could be clearer. She wanted to know what was the connection between the Xia family¡¯s inherited jade cauldron and the sacred artifact of the Element Splitting Race.

    While Xia Wanyuan was worried about the Yuan Splitting Race, the audience of ¡°Under the Sky¡± was anxious for the long wait.

    [ Good lord, I haven¡¯t tried waiting for the television drama to update in so many years. It¡¯s so difficult to wait. When will it be night? ]

    [The first two episodes are indeed amazing. I hope the plot and special effects won¡¯t disappoint me.]

    [Why are you so rxed? The television drama ¡°Under the Sky¡± has already been reported to the Inte. How can you still sit still? Aren¡¯t you going to support your brothers?]

    Seeing thesements, theizens were a little stunned. What¡¯s there to report about a television drama? If you don¡¯t like to watch it, can¡¯t you just not watch it?

    When theizens went online to take a look, they realized why ¡°Under the Sky¡± had been reported.

    Because of giarism.

    Because of the cultural barrier, although many people in China knew more about Olympus, Greek mythology, and so on,

    However, to foreigners who only knew that China was a very ancient country, the mythical world of China, demons, and fantasy werepletely unfamiliar.

    Hence, when someizens screenshotted the scene of ¡°Under the Sky¡± on the Inte, it caused a heated discussion. Everyone felt that this was clearly giarized ¡°Ice¡±.

 Chapter 1397 Cutest Brother

    Fire-breathing dragons and walking ghost zombies looked very simr to the monsters in "Ice".

    Because of Xia Wanyuan''s "ssic coexistence"ments, the Inte was already filled with mockery of "Under the Sky". Now that they saw these simr scenes, their mockery instantly soared.

    With everyone''s joint efforts, the entire television drama was banned. The foreign television association unanimously banned this television drama.

    [ So that''s what Xia Wanyuan meant by ssic parallel? Isn''t copying ording to it parallel? Wouldn''t it be more appropriate to say that you copied the ssic? ]

    [I''m dying ofughter. We have dragons, they have dragons. We have zombies, they have zombies. We have elves, and what kind of demons they have? They really know how to copy. I heard that the viewership ratings of this television drama in China are especially high. So the Chinese like to watch giarized television dramas.]

    The domesticizens were furious when they saw the mockery on the Inte.

    [Are you illiterate?? How many years has our immortal ghost system existed? How dare you say that we giarized with less than three hundred years of history?!]

    However, individual strength was always weak. After all, the foreignwork was the base of foreignizens. The domesticizens quickly lost.

    Everyone ced their hopes on Xia Wanyuan, but at this moment, Xia Wanyuan had no time to care about the dispute online.

    Because the two babies had finally bypassed Jun Shiling''s various istion and leaned excitedly into Xia Wanyuan''s arms.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to poke the child''s face. Xiao Bao''s face was already very tender, and the baby''s face was even more tender than that. Xia Wanyuan did not dare to use any strength, afraid that something would happen to the baby.

    Little Jiajin and Little Xiaxia were very obedient. Perhaps it was a natural mother-child reaction, but the two children giggled at Xia Wanyuan.

    Xiao Bao sat beside Xia Wanyuan. "Mommy, Sister is so cute."

    Xia Wanyuanughed. "Isn''t your brother cute?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xiao Bao looked at Little Jiajin in disdain. "No, Sister is the cutest."

    "Then hug your brother," Xia Wanyuan said as she ced Little Jiajin in Xiao Bao''s arms. Xiao Bao carefully hugged him.

    Little Jiajin had a pair of especially beautiful eyes that seemed to be filled with thousands of dazzling lights. He sized Xiao Bao up curiously and smiled at him.

    Xiao Bao endured it again and again, but in the end, he could not help but lower his head and kiss Little Jiajin''s face.

    He screamed crazily in his heart. Oh my god, my younger brother is so cute!!!

    Xiao Bao yed with Little Jiajin happily, wishing he could praise him to the sky.

    However, Xiao Bao did not know that during his few years of infancy,, Little Jiajin was the most obedient.

    In a few years, Xiao Bao would be like his name and be Jun Shiling''s replica. He would be determined and could hold his own.

    Little Jiajin had the gentlest and most elegant name. In the love of the family, he had grown into the most arrogant and willful person. He would also be Xiao Bao''s biggest headache.

    However, Xiao Bao still did not know all of this. Looking at his younger brother''s smile, Xiao Bao thought that even if Little Jiajin wanted the stars in the sky, he could help him pluck them!!!

    After ying with the children for a while, Xia Wanyuan returned to the master bedroom. She picked up her phone and saw that Chen Yun and Lu Li had already sent her countless messages.

    It was all about "Under the Sky" beingpletely banned in the overseas market.

 Chapter 1398 - 1398 Obstacled Overseas

    1398 Obstacled Overseas

    This overseas ban was no longer just a matter of reputation. Most importantly, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television drama had affected many investors, some of whom were foreign.

    Now that foreign broadcasting was banned, the interests of the investment partners had been damaged. Everyone was naturally unhappy andined to Chen Yun.

    Chen Yun had been busy dealing with the investors the entire day. Now, he really could not withstand the pressure from all sides and could only report the situation to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, what should we do? The foreign ban on us can¡¯t be resolved in a short time.¡±

    Furthermore, this reporting frenzy initiated by civilian audiences could not be resolved through diplomatic means. It could only be adjusted spontaneously by the market. However, in the current situation, Chen Yun could not see any hope of automatic unsealing.

    ¡°He that hides can find.¡± Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. ¡°Help me make a few videos.¡±

    ¡°Okay, go ahead. I¡¯ll record it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan told Chen Yun some of the content needed in the video. After Chen Yun and Lu Li noted it down, Xia Wanyuan hung up.

    When she turned around again, Jun Shiling had already returned and was teasing his daughter.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t washed your hands.¡± Xia Wanyuan walked over. ¡°Be careful of bacteria.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°You¡¯re worrying for nothing. I¡¯m here to see my precious daughter. How can I not disinfect myself?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling. ¡°Have you been very busy recently? Why are you back sote?¡±

    ¡°A little.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Jiang Yun has been very close to Lin Qingyuan recently.¡±

    The Jiang family had always been the opposite of the Jun family. Now that the Lin family and the Jiang family were connected, it naturally made things difficult for Jun Shiling.

    ¡°That¡¯s normal, but¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan paused. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yun to get in touch with the Lin family so quickly.¡±

    ¡°Because of her husband.¡± Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Little Xiaxia¡¯s soft face, a smile in his eyes. ¡°Lin Qingdai is a member of the Lin family after all. With this rtionship, it¡¯s inevitable that they¡¯ll get together.¡±

    ¡°When I¡¯m done with my work, I¡¯ll go to thepany to help you.¡± Xia Wanyuan knew very well that although Jun Shiling said it casually, the burden on his shoulders must be very heavy.

    Jun Shiling frowned and nced at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Look for your younger brother properly. Don¡¯t worry about me. If I can¡¯t even deal with them, how can I be your man?¡±

    Sensing the concern and warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes, Xia Wanyuan smiled. ¡°Got it, CEO Jun. CEO Jun, you¡¯re the best.¡±

    ¡°Naughty.¡± Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and hugged her tighter.

    Xiao Bao stood at the side. Little Jiajin watched the two of them show off their love quietly. After a while, Xiao Bao finally realized that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had already ignored his and his younger siblings¡¯ existence.

    Xiao Bao turned to look at Little Jiajin. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Brother. Let¡¯s not be third wheels anymore. I¡¯ll bring you to y.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao waved at the butler and brought his younger siblings out of the bedroom.

    Looking at Xiao Bao¡¯s mischievous appearance, Xia Wanyuanughed. ¡°Can you act like a father?¡±

    Jun Shiling leaned down. ¡°No. You went to look for Old Master Fu today? Did you gain anything?¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling mention this, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression froze. ¡°I think that jade cauldron might be the sacred artifact of the Element Splitting Race. My intuition tells me that there¡¯s no evidence yet.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to continue paying attention to the relevant information.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up when she received a video that Chen Yun and Lu Li had made overnight.

 Chapter 1399 Resurrecting Emperor Yuan

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan was pregnant and too many things had happened recently, Xia Wanyuan''s ount on the Inte had not been updated for a long time.

    Perhaps it had been so long that everyone had almost forgotten the glory of Xia Wanyuan''s popr science videos.

    Now, what Xia Wanyuan had asked Chen Yun and Lu Li to do was aparative video of the East and West mythical System.

    The current studio was no longer that small workshop back then.

    Now, when Chen Yun made videos, he had a professional editing team. In addition, he had a professional special effects team. The popr science video was extremely exquisite. It could be considered an art film alone.

    Xia Wanyuan posted the video on the Inte and updated a post.

    wanxia-yuan: "Do you only know Western myths??"

    Xia Wanyuan had always been polite in public, but this time, her speech was clearly provocative.

    It was precisely because of this abnormality and because she had not appeared on the Inte for a long time that she immediately became the number one trending topic on the Inte.

    [ Pfft, who are you looking down on?? Why don''t we understand Eastern culture??? Didn''t you giarize us? How dare you say that? I''m speechless. ]

    [How arrogant. Looks like your ount wants to be banned too, right?]

    [ What video did you send? I can''t be bothered to watch it. Since you say that we don''t understand Eastern mythology,e out and tell me what the Eastern mythology you''re so proud of is like? ]

    While there was a heated discussion on the Inte, Xia Wanyuan caught them off guard and opened the live-stream channel.

    Everyone was already arguing under Xia Wanyuan''s ount. Now that they saw that Xia Wanyuan had started a live-stream, they immediately clicked on her live-stream.

    However, when they clicked on it, everyone was stunned.

    For a moment, everyone felt that they had identally entered a fantasy world. When they took a closer look, they realized that it was the three-dimensional technology in the live-stream that could make the audience immerse in the situation.

    The audience was now in the Heavenly Pce Cloud Hall in Eastern mythology.

    Xia Wanyuan''s voice sounded in the live-stream at the right time. She began to talk about the pce in front of everyone, exining the entire eastern mythological system.

    Many people were originally only here to watch themotion, but as they watched, they finished listening to the entire live broadcast.

    Listening to Xia Wanyuan''s exnation and the visual impact, those ancient myths and legends had a preliminary impression in the hearts of the audience who had never understood Eastern culture.

    At the end of the live broadcast, Xia Wanyuan said, "Many of the scenes everyone saw today were borrowed from the special effects model of ''Under the Sky''."

    With that, Xia Wanyuan closed the live-stream.

    Although today''s live broadcast hadsted for nearly two and a half hours and was already very long, China''s mythological system was too huge. In the end, Xia Wanyuan only finished exining one immortal world and did not tell the story of the Demon World, Monster World, and Human World.

    Everyone was listening excitedly when the exnation suddenly stopped. The special effects scene in front of them disappeared, and a sense of disappointment surged.

    [ How amazing. I didn''t expect the immortals of China to have such a tight division ofbor. It feels more like the order of the human world has been improved in the Heaven Realm. ]

    [ How interesting. Boohoo, I''ve betrayed myself. I don''t want to scold Xia Wanyuan anymore. I want to hear Xia Wanyuan continue her lecture. What is the Demon World like? When is the next live broadcast? ]

    [ Didn''t you hear what Xia Wanyuan said?? Many of the things on the live broadcast today were obtained from the special effects model of the television drama "Under the Sky". Since you''re so interested in China''s legend, can''t you just watch the television drama? ]

    Everyone thought about it. That made sense. If popr science videos were so interesting, wouldn''t the television drama be even more interesting?

    At this moment, Chen Yun bribed the marketing ount on the Inte and began to y some clips of the television drama "Under the Sky".<novelnext></novelnext>

    Not only was everyone shocked by the magnificent set, but most importantly, the three male leads instantly swept through the entire Inte.

    After all, the audience in the world liked to look at handsome men.

    Theizensunched a topic of "Rerunning "Under the Sky" and began to call for foreign countries to open the broadcasting rights of television dramas.

    As more and more people participated in this topic, the television station reconsidered.

    Capital was all about profit. Back then, the ban was for money. Now that they saw that "Under the Sky" was so popr, the investors tried to let go of a portion of the broadcast channels.

    When the Chinese television drama had already yed the fourth episode, foreign television stations premiered.

    The premiere data was not especially ideal. After all, everyone was still rtively unfamiliar with Chinese television dramas.

    However, from the first to the second episode, the audience loss rate was about 0.0%.

    This data that could almost be called a ghost story made the major investors smell the huge potential of this television drama.

    Hence, the externalworkpletely let go of the restrictions on "Under the Sky". In all parts of the world, a craze called Oriental Fantasy had begun.

    While everyone was discussing television dramas around the world, Continent F seemed much calmer.

    The Chu family''s mansion was much quieter than before. There was almost no one in the huge courtyard.

    "I''ve already gotten the servants to leave." Chu Yi looked at the ck-robed man beside him. "You can start. Everything is prepared in the secret passage."

    "Sure." The ck-robed man nodded. "Where''s Feng Wuyou''s corpse?"

    "It''s in there too."

    "Okay." The ck-robed man walked into the secret passage with an ancient box. Chu Yi stood at the entrance of the secret passage with a dark expression.

    After a while, he closed the secret passage door and looked for the butler. "Where''s Su Yao?"

    "Miss Su doesn''t seem to be feeling well today. She''s resting in her room."

    "Mm, find a doctor to take a look at her."

    "Okay."

    For some reason, Chu Yi felt a little frustrated. He wanted to ask the butler to find Su Yao, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

    At this moment, in the Chu family''s backyard, Su Yao was lying on the bed with tears in her eyes.

    During this period of time, Chu Yi had never hidden the fact that he wanted to get rid of Feng Wuyou''s corpse from Su Yao. Su Yao also knew that Feng Wuyou''s corpse was about to bepletely destroyed today.

    Shey on the bed and looked at the ceiling quietly, clenching the cup in her hand.

    After some time, she was about to get up when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, as if thousands of mes were burning her.

    Su Yao hugged her head and whimpered in pain before flipping over and falling to the ground.

    The pain in her head became worse and worse. Su Yao even felt that her soul was about to be separated from her body from the pain.

    She kept rolling on the ground, wanting to relieve the pain, but it was useless.

 Chapter 1400 Resurrection

    Su Yao kept struggling on the ground. Not only was the pain in her head not relieved, but it was even intensifying.

    She vaguely felt that her soul was being pulled out of her body and roasted in a ball of mes, almost burning her to ashes.

    Outside the courtyard, Chu Yi waited outside for a while before walking into the secret passage.

    ording to the ck-robed man''s instructions, the secret passage was arranged in a special manner.

    Circles of unknown mysterious runes wrapped around the entire secret passage. Every meter, a white jade cauldron was ced. The white jade cauldron burned with an eternal fire.

    The ten direct descendants of the Feng family he had found were now fixed in the array. Feng Wuyou''s corpse was ced on the ground. The ck-robed man reached out and pressed a hand on her forehead, chanting something softly.

    Chu Yi watched from afar. White light gradually began to appear on the ten Feng family members, but Feng Wuyou''s body had been silent.

    The ck-robed man frowned and chanted the ancient incantation again, but there was still no reaction.

    The ck-robed man ced a ck unpolished jade between Feng Wuyou''s eyebrows, then pressed his palms together and chanted an incantation loudly.

    At this moment, in the bedroom, Su Yao was in so much pain that she was almost unconscious. In a daze, she saw a light at the door and forced herself to stand up, wanting to call for help.

    However, she was alreadypletely dominated by the pain in her body. She used all her strength to stand up, but she suddenly felt her vision darken and she fell to the ground.

    With this, Su Yaopletely fainted.

    Due to the huge impact, her shoulder de hit the ground hard. With a crisp sound, a small jade pendant that had been buried in her since she was born shattered near her heart.

    The jade pendant quietly emitted a fluorescent light in Su Yao''s body, resisting countless huge suction forces that could not be seen with the naked eye.

    In the secret passage, the ck-robed man chanted faster and faster. Finally, he could not hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.

    "What''s wrong?" Chu Yi walked forward, wanting to check on the ck-robed man.

    The ck-robed man was not in the mood to care about his injuries. He approached Feng Wuyou''s corpse, pulled her arm, and carefully touched it. Then, he angrily shook off her arm.

    "This isn''t Feng Wuyou at all!! You tricked me!!"

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean? What do you mean by not Feng Wuyou?"

    "Feng Wuyou isn''t dead at all, so my soul summoning technique isn''t effective." The ck-robed man held his chest. "Chu Yi, good job."

    Chu Yi was very emotional. He stared straight at the ck-robed man. "Are you sure she''s not dead??"

    The ck-robed man kicked the jade cauldron at the side to pieces. "Damn it, we''ve wasted so many people. Will there be such a pure direct bloodline next time?"

    Chu Yi seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up, then he restrained his expression and looked at the ck-robed man. "I still have something on. I won''t apany you anymore."

    With that, Chu Yi made an inviting gesture to the ck-robed man.

    The ck-robed man snorted coldly. "You want to find a woman early, but there''s still something to do."

    "What is it?" Chu Yi was stunned. "Didn''t you fail?"

    "We did fail." The ck-robed man''s tone was filled with anger. "However, it can only be considered half a failure."

    Chu Yi looked at the ck-robed man in confusion.

    The ck-robed man looked at the coffin, and Chu Yi followed his gaze.

    At first, he did not notice anything wrong. However, ten secondster, Chu Yi''s eyes suddenly widened.

    The man in the coffin''s chest heaved slightly. He was alive!!!

    Chu Yi looked at the ck-robed man in surprise. "Didn''t you say you wanted¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Yes, the current Xia Wei is just a shell. He doesn''t have a soul. His soul is still sleeping."

    The ck-robed man walked to the coffin. At this moment, Xia Wei''s meridians were already throbbing slightly in the coffin. However, his eyes were still closed, as if he was a statue that had been sleeping for a thousand years.

    "How can the soul be awakened?"

    Emperor Xia Yuan was the key to all the legends. As long as he was around, those legends had the ability to convince people.

    "Either you have to find Feng Wuyou and sacrifice her soul, or you have to find Xia Wanyuan."

    With the ck-robed man, Chu Yi had already heard the name Xia Wanyuan countless times. Emperor Xia Yuan''s surname was Xia, and Xia Wanyuan''s surname was also Xia. Chu Yi could not help but think.

    "What''s Xia Wanyuan''s rtionship with Emperor Xia Yuan?"

    The ck-robed man did not answer Chu Yi''s question. He nced at Chu Yi. "Find Feng Wuyou for me."

    Chu Yi''s eyes flickered. "No problem."

    The ck-robed man quickly disappeared into the secret passage. Chu Yi got someone to clean it up and called for a top medical team to bring Xia Wei to the hospital to take care of him.

    Although the ck-robed man said that Emperor Xia Yuan only had a shell, Chu Yi wanted to try and see if modern medical technology could save Emperor Xia Yuan.

    After arranging everything, Chu Yi walked straight to Su Yao''s room.

    There was some excitement and anticipation in his eyes. He could not wait to verify if the truth was as he had thought.

    The door to Su Yao''s room was closed. Chu Yi knocked on the door, but no one answered.

    Chu Yi was about to kick the door open when it suddenly opened. Su Yao stood at the door with exquisite makeup and looked at Chu Yi in surprise.

    "Young Master, why are you here? I was about to look for you."

    Chu Yi''s deep gazended on Su Yao. "Did you feel anything ufortable just now?"

    "What difort?" Su Yao blinked. "No, did something happen?"

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. "You''ve been back for so long. I wonder how your body has recovered. I''ll bring you for a checkup."

    "There''s no need. I''m already much better." Su Yao smiled and declined.

    "There''s a need." Chu Yi reached out and pulled Su Yao out, bringing her to the hospital.

    Two hourster, looking at the various data on the report, Chu Yi was silent.

    "Why are their blood types different??"

    The doctor looked at Chu Yi in confusion. "Young Master, Su Yao''s blood type is indeed different from the former Madam. This is very normal¡­"

    Before the doctor could finish speaking, Chu Yi stood up and left.

    Outside the hospital, Su Yao was waiting for Chu Yi. Seeing Chu Yi walk over with a dark expression, Su Yao pinched her palm to remind herself to cheer up and weed him with a smile.

    "Young Master, is the result out? I said I''m fine, right?"

    The love and doting that he had been doing for the past few days disappeared from Chu Yi''s face. He nced at Su Yao indifferently and walked away.

    Watching Chu Yi leave, Su Yao looked upstairs.

    Just now, while Chu Yi was talking to the doctor, she secretly went up to take a look. There were many soldiers guarding it.

    What kind of person needed Chu Yi''s protection??

    The hospital was filled with Chu Yi¡¯s spies. Su Yao did not dare to stay any longer. She secretly took a few nces and followed Chu Yi back to the Chu family¡¯s mansion.

    The moment Chu Yi returned home, he gathered people and issued countless bounties. The entire Chu family¡¯s mansion was overturned.

    Su Yao secretly found the butler. ¡°Butler, what happened??¡±

    The butler looked at Su Yao and sighed. ¡°Yaoyao, I sent you to Young Master¡¯s side so that you could hold his heart. From the looks of it, you¡¯re useless.¡±

    With that, the butler shook his head and left.

    Su Yao was stunned on the spot and looked at Chu Yi in the living room from afar.

    For some reason, Chu Yi¡¯s back made her feel a little bleak.

    The moment this thought appeared in her heart, she immediately hit it back.

    While everyone was busy, Su Yao nced at Chu Yi¡¯s study and quietly crept along the surveince blind spot.

    In China, not only was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s popr science video widely weed internationally, but it was also widely circted in the country.

    The domesticizens had basically learned all sorts of immortal and demon systems from television dramas and movies since they were young. Most people did not know about serious theories.

    Hence, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video circted on Weibo.

    [ Today is also the day to love Yuan Yuan. Today is also the day to kneel and worship the goddess. Such aplicated immortal system. Good lord, she exined it to me so in-depth. This is the difference between the big shot and me. ]

    [Thank you, big shot!!! I¡¯m studying this course this semester. I originally felt that the course was quite boring, but now, I¡¯vepletely fallen for it.]

    [ The more I read the popr science, the higher my expectations for ¡°Under the Sky¡± be. Many scenes in the popr science video are said to be from the television drama. I reasonably suspect that Xia Wanyuan made this video to whet our appetite. ]

    Just as theizens had said, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s video not only helped everyone exin all sorts of cultural knowledge, but it also used the images inside to arouse everyone¡¯s anticipation for the television drama.

    When the fifth episode of the television drama was broadcasted domestically, foreign television stations began to broadcast the third episode.

    Although the progress was different, the poprity was the same.

    Be it domestically or abroad, at eight in Beijing time, the television drama ¡°Under the Sky¡± took a rocket to the top of the world.

    The standards of the television drama did not disappoint the audience. It was not like what they had imagined, where all the funds were spent on the first episode to save face.

    Every episode was meticulously produced, and every frame could be said to have arge texture.

    In addition, the casting of the actors was quitepatible. Xia Wanyuan had made a good bnce between beauty and the adaptability of the role.

    The reason why ¡°Ice¡± was called an epic blockbuster was because it focused on the plot and story, on the fit of the characters, and not on pursuing the beauty of the scene.

    Director Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television drama made a goodpromise.

    The three male leads were quite handsome, and the supporting roles were extremely beautiful.

    However, because of the smooth plot, photography skills, and the harmony of the use of light and shadow, the scene of so many handsome men and beautiful women together did not seem cheap and heavy. On the contrary, it brought another kind of beauty.

    Without a doubt, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television drama had been a huge sess.

    After the sixth episode in the country ended and the fourth episode overseas ended, there were already organizations predicting that ¡°Under the Sky¡± would surpass ¡°Ice¡±.

    From the current data, ¡°Under the Sky¡± and ¡°Ice¡± were alreadyparable.

    However, in the eyes of professionals, ¡°Ice¡± had already reached a saturated state, but the poprity of ¡°Under the Sky¡± was constantly rising. It was only a matter of time before it surpassed ¡°Ice¡± in the future.

    Although foreignizens liked to watch ¡°Under the Sky¡±, it did not mean that they wanted the crystallization of their culture to be below others.

    Or rather, they did not want the television drama that represented their culture to lose to the Chinese television drama that represented Eastern culture.

    [Don¡¯t give me that. ¡°Ice¡± has be popr worldwide and won countless awards¡­ ¡°Under the Sky¡± is too arrogant.]

    [ Our ¡°Ice¡± has been popr for five years¡­ It¡¯s already not bad that ¡°Under the Sky¡± can maintain its level and not copse until the finale. ]

    [Can you not defame one and praise the other?? No matter how many new works appear, ¡°Ice¡± will always be an unexined god.]

    The main team of ¡°Ice¡± came from America. As the most popr television drama in the world in the past few years, behind it stood countless American capital.

    Among them was the Blue family.

    ¡°Mother, the filmpany of ¡®Ice¡¯ hopes that we can increase our investment and help them win this year¡¯s Best Film Award.¡±

 Chapter 1402 - 1402 Saving Emperor Xia Yuan

    1402 Saving Emperor Xia Yuan

    In the main residence of the Blue family, Lin Man was sitting by the window and reading the document in her hand. Li Na stood beside Lin Man and chatted with her as she read the document.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t they tell us confidently before the screening that they didn¡¯t need any help? In the end, they still couldn¡¯tpare to Xia Wanyuan??¡± After all, she was the real head of the Blue family. The current Lin Man¡¯s words had a hint of dignity.

    ¡°That Xia Wanyuan still has some ability.¡± At the mention of Xia Wanyuan, Li Na gritted her teeth in hatred. However, she had to admit that Xia Wanyuan was not weak and was very difficult to deal with.

    ¡°If the production team needs funds, just give it to them.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Li Na sat beside Lin Man. ¡°Mother, is Chu Yi really so kind? He¡¯s willing to help us in everything. He doesn¡¯t seem to have asked us to do anything for him until now.¡±

    Capital was traded with benefits, but Chu Yi had yet to reveal what he wanted from the Blue family. This made Li Na feel a little uneasy.

    ¡°Who cares?¡± Lin Man did not have much ambition. To her, being able to be the head of the Blue family and enjoy endless wealth was already all her vision. ¡°What he wants is at most the business line of the Blue family. It¡¯s not impossible to give him some. Anyway, the Blue family¡¯s business is so big.¡±

    Lin Man gradually dispelled the uneasiness in Li Na¡¯s heart. ¡°Mother, you¡¯re right.¡±

    At this moment, in Continent F, Chu Yi was checking on Xia Wei¡¯s condition in the ward. ¡°Can he be saved?¡±

    The doctor shook his head. ¡°This person¡¯s body is very strange. All the data clearly show that he¡¯s very healthy, but he can¡¯t wake up.¡±

    Hearing the doctor¡¯s words, Chu Yi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that as the ck-robed man had said, the loss of Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s soul was the reason why he could not wake up for a long time?

    ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Chu Yi nced at Xia Wei on the bed and strode out. ¡°Take good care of him. Don¡¯t let anything happen.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Chu Yi walked quickly and did not notice that after he left, a dark glint shed across the doctor¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m going in for a routine checkup. The nurse went to get the medicine and will be backter.¡± The doctor looked at the bodyguard and handed the identification certificate in front of him to him.

    Everyone had seen the doctor talking to Chu Yi just now. Now, they let down their guard and ced the doctor in the ward after checking his identification.

    At this moment, outside the hospital, Chu Yi was about to get into the car when his expression suddenly changed and he quickly retreated. ¡°Go to the ward!! There¡¯s something wrong with the doctor!!¡±

    Everyone immediately moved. The bodyguard hurriedly barged into the ward when he received the news. However, the room where Xia Wei had been lying just now waspletely empty.

    Chu Yi walked in and touched the temperature on the bed. ¡°He hasn¡¯t gone far. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find him for me!!¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The bodyguards immediately dispersed to look for him. Looking at the empty bed, a dark glint shed across Chu Yi¡¯s eyes. He called the ck-robed man.

    The ck-robed man picked up the phone after a long time. ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Did you take Emperor Xia Yuan away?¡±

    The ck-robed man was reading the ancient book in front of him. When he heard Chu Yi¡¯s words, he instantly stood up. ¡°What do you mean? Emperor Xia Yuan is gone?! Where did he go?¡±

    Chu Yi snorted coldly and hung up. He strode out and continued searching.

    At this moment, in the basement of the hospital, Qiao Xu took off his mask and panted. Then, he contacted Su Yao. ¡°Ancestor, I was almost killed by your ex-husband.¡±

 Chapter 1403 Untitled

    Su Yao hid in the bedroom. "Then where are you now?"

    "I''m still in the hospital basement. Where else can I go?" Qiao Xu nced at Xia Wei beside him. "Hey, to be honest, who is this gigolo?? Could he be your ex-lover?"

    "Stop talking nonsense." Su Yao did not know who this man was, but she knew that this person had been transported out of Chu Yi''s secret passage. It was extremely important to Chu Yi. "Help him settle down. It''ll be even better if he can be sent back to China."

    "My ancestor, spare me." Qiao Xu looked up at the sky speechlessly. "Do you know what kind of existence Chu Yi is in Continent F?? He can cover the sky with one hand, understand?? I''m already risking my life by helping you steal him out. Now, all the flights are probably blocked. Do you want me to die?"

    "Then what should we do?" Su Yao knew that this man had a certain rtionship with Xia Wanyuan, and Chu Yi valued this man very much. She definitely could not let this man fall into Chu Yi''s hands again.

    "How about this? The most dangerous ce is the safest ce." Qiao Xu''s eyes darted around and he immediately had an idea. "I''ll disguise this gigolo and leave him in this hospital. This ce is also close to the Chu family. Even if they search, they won''t investigate this ce seriously."

    "What about you?"

    "Of course I''ll stay here, Ancestor. You''re still here. I''m worried. That Chu Yi is like a lunatic. If he does anything to you, I can take care of him here."

    "Then be careful. I''m hanging up." Footsteps were alreadying from outside. Su Yao reminded Qiao Xu onest time and hung up.

    When Chu Yi pushed open the door, Su Yao was lifting the nket and getting out of bed. Seeing Chu Yi, Su Yao''s eyes were filled with a surprised smile. "Young Master, I thought you wouldn''t visit me again."

    Chu Yi walked in and grabbed Su Yao''s neck. "Let me ask you, did you enter my study yesterday?"

    Su Yao almost could not breathe from Chu Yi''s grip. She struggled a few times. "Young Master¡­ I¡­"

    Chu Yi tightened his grip. "Looks like I''ve been too arrogant and spoilt you usually."

    Su Yao was almost suffocating. She kept hitting Chu Yi''s hand. Just as she thought that she was about to die, Chu Yi finally let go of her.

    "Tell me, what did you see in my study? What do you want?"

    Su Yao''s eyes were red. She coughed a few times and leaned towards Chu Yi''s feet, hugging his calf. "Young Master, I''ll talk, I''ll talk. I just want to confirm if that Feng Wuyou was burned to death. I-I hope Young Master has already let her go."

    The moment Su Yao hugged his calf, a hint of disgust shed across Chu Yi''s eyes. This was what he felt that Su Yao was the least like Feng Wuyou.

    Feng Wuyou would always stand proudly on the branch. She would not wag her tail and beg for mercy like Su Yao.

    Hearing Su Yao''s words, the gloominess in Chu Yi''s eyes deepened. "You didn''t do anything else?"

    Su Yao widened her eyes slightly. "Young Master, what are you talking about?? There are arge number of people guarding your study not far away. Even if I really want to do something, I don''t dare."

    Chu Yi knew that Su Yao was telling the truth. He narrowed his eyes at Su Yao for a while before suddenly standing up and looking down at her.

    "Do you know why I let you stay back then?"

    Su Yao shook her head. "I don''t know."

    "Because you''re a substitute." Chu Yi looked at Su Yao coldly. "You''re Feng Wuyou''s substitute, so you have to do your duty as a substitute. If you dare to enter the study without my permission again, even if you have a pair of eyes like hers, I''ll dig them out and throw you out to burn you, understand?"

    Su Yao''s pupils dted, as if she had fallen into great shock and fear. After a while, she came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly. "I understand."

    Only then did Chu Yi leave.<novelnext></novelnext>

    In the room, Su Yao''s eyes revealed mockery as she watched Chu Yi leave.

    Substitute? How much did he hate me? He even wanted to find a substitute to humiliate me. It''s not enough that I''m dead, but he still wanted a substitute to repay the hatred in his heart.

    Themotion of Chu Yi looking for Emperor Xia Yuan was too great. Not only did he get someone to seal all the borders, but he also got someone to conduct aprehensive investigation of the people sailing on the sea.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, who were far away in China, knew that Chu Yi was looking for an important person.

    "Could it be that Feng Wuyou was discovered by him?" Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling worriedly.

    "Impossible." Jun Shiling shook his head. "ording to the news from the spy, Su Yao is still in the Chu family''s mansion and hasn''t left."

    "Then?" Xia Wanyuan''s heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Could it be?"

    Halfway through her sentence, Xia Wanyuan swallowed her words. She shook her head. It shouldn''t be possible.

    The ancient tomb on Longqi Mountaincked Xia Wei''s coffin. Later on, after many investigations, the results showed that when the Chu family left China back then, they had once gotten someone to transport a veryrge thing away. Later on, all sorts of signs showed that Emperor Xia Yuan''s coffin was in the Chu family''s hands.

    Xia Wanyuan originally wanted to say that Chu Yi was so ostentatious. Could he be looking for something rted to Emperor Xia Yuan? After thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible.

    "Xia Yu is already helping investigate. There''ll be news soon." Jun Shilingforted Xia Wanyuan. "Don''t be so worried. We''re going to a charity banquetter. I''ll apany you to pack your things first."

    "Okay."

    China held all sorts of charity gs every year. In the beginning, these charity gs were used to raise funds for the needy people on a small scale.

    Later on, the charity g developed more like a g that united the nobles and celebrities of all walks of life. More and more money was collected, and the scale of the g becamerger andrger.

    A small portion of the works at this charity g were provided by Xia Wanyuan. As a special guest, Xia Wanyuan participated.

    Coincidentally, when Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling arrived at the entrance of the g, they bumped into Su Yueran, who was apanying Lin Qingyuan.

    The current Su Yueran was even thinner than before. Her face was pale and she had lost her spirit when she looked at people.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Su Yueran nodded calmly.

    "What a coincidence." Lin Qingyuan reached out to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling held Lin Qingyuan''s hand back. The two of them faced each other for a moment before letting go at the same time.

    After Lin Qingyuan and Su Yueran left first, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. "I haven''t seen Su Yueran in a long time. Her child?"

    "She was born." Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and walked in. "However, just as she was born, she was sent back to Linxi overnight and ced by Lin Qingyuan''s side. Su Yueran has no right to interfere."

    Hearing Jun Shiling''s exnation, Xia Wanyuan sighed.

    When the two of them entered the venue and sat down, the g was about to begin.

    Xia Wanyuan had originallye to take a look. Who would have thought that she would be shocked when the first auction item came out?

 Chapter 1404 - 1404 Two Hundred Million Deal

    1404 Two Hundred Million Deal

    As the staff brought the auction item up, the host began to introduce it.

    ¡°Wee to our g today. The first auction item today is a jade cauldron donated by an anonymous collector. The approximate age is a thousand years ago. The exact dynasty is unknown, but everyone can take a look. The quality of this jade cauldron is quite good.¡±

    The host was showing this jade cauldron to the guests in all directions. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s grip on Jun Shiling¡¯s arm had already tightened.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were also a little solemn. The jade cauldron disyed on the stage was clearly the same as the one dug out of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ancient tomb.

    But didn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan say that there was only one sacred artifact? Then where did thise from?? And it looked like¡­

    No, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. He turned around. ¡°This is different from yours.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan also realized it. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s indeed different.¡±

    The dragon holding the jade bead in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s jade cauldron was in the middle of the cauldron, and the dragon holding the jade bead in this jade cauldron was on the left side of the cauldron.

    ¡°How strange.¡± Puzzlement shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Why is there another one?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s bid for it first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    On stage, the host had already introduced all the details of this auction item.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s start the bidding now. The starting price of this jade cauldron is 2 million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?¡±

    As soon as the host finished speaking, someone added 50,000 yuan.

    Although this jade cauldron was beautiful and made of good materials, because the dynasty was unknown and their status when they were alive was unknown, most people were not very interested in this.

    After a long time, the price of this jade cauldron was only 2.5 million.

    ¡°Okay, 2.5 million. Anyone else? 2.5 million going once, 2.5 million.¡±

    ¡°Three million,¡± Jun Shiling suddenly said, causing amotion.

    ¡°Okay, CEO Jun bid 3 million! Is there a higher bid?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan looked at Jun Shiling and then at the jade cauldron on the stage. He gestured for Su Yueran to continue bidding. Su Yueran raised her card. ¡°3.5 million.¡±

    ¡°Four million.¡± The person bidding was Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Okay, four mil.¡±

    ¡°Five million.¡± Before the host could finish speaking, Su Yueran raised the price again.

    ¡°Six million.¡±

    In the following auction, there was no need for the host to exist at all. Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan spoke one after another and finally increased the price to 50 million.

    Looking at such a tense scene, the usually knowledgeable host began to wipe his sweat.

    The other guests sitting below were even more shocked. Isn¡¯t this just an ordinary jade cauldron?? 50 million? Are these two families crazy?? Or does this jade cauldron have some hidden value that we don¡¯t know about??

    ¡°I¡¯m buying a toy for Madam. Master Lin, are you interested in this too?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Lin Qingyuan.

    The corners of Lin Qingyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m interested. The main thing is that CEO Jun has always had good taste. Since you like this jade cauldron so much, I think it should be very collectible. I want to buy it for my wife too.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lin Qingyuan quietly. Lin Qingyuan was not to be outdone and looked back at Jun Shiling.

    The two of them instantly released their auras, and the others sitting around them could not take it.

    ¡°Then continue.¡±

    ¡°Okay, continue.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran continued to raise the price.

    Finally, when Xia Wanyuan shouted 200 million, Su Yueran¡¯s expression changed. She looked at Lin Qingyuan, who did not look too good.

    He had asked Su Yueran to snatch this jade cauldron because he did not want Jun Shiling to get what he wanted.

    However, he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so persistent in increasing the price. It had already reached 200 million. If he continued to increase it, with Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s cunningness, it was inevitable that they would withdraw and suffer in silence.

    Lin Qingyuan thought about it and looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling was saying something to Xia Wanyuan when he shook his head slightly.

    Seeing Jun Shiling¡¯s actions, Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly. He was worried that he would be schemed against by Jun Shiling. He had long sent someone to investigate this jade cauldron. There was nothing special about it at all. It was not worth it to get such a useless thing back for anger.

    Thinking of this, Lin Qingyuan shook his head at Su Yueran. Su Yueran put down the bidding sign.

    Seeing that the dispute had finally ended, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The host finally recovered.

    He spoke extremely quickly, afraid that Lin Qingyuan would react and continue bidding. ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning this jade cauldron for 200 million yuan!!!¡±

    There was thunderous apuse andplicated gazesnded on Xia Wanyuan. Everyone thought to themselves that rich people were really good. Using 200 million to buy a jade cauldron was like ying.

    The following auction items were not attractive to Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. The second half of the auction was the home ground of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s works. The price of each painting and calligraphy piece was auctioned higher and higher, receiving many people¡¯s support.

    This auction was quite sessful, especially since it had sold a jade cauldron for an astronomical price of 200 million yuan. Just as the auction ended, news about this auction upied all the major social media.

    [ Good lord, 200 million. I don¡¯t even dare to dream of having so much money in my life. I actually only used it to buy a jade cauldron. I really want to know how rich Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are. ]

    [ The person in front, didn¡¯t you see the new global symbol rankings?? CEO Jun has already jumped to the top of the world and is now the true richest man in the world. Xia Wanyuan is even more amazing. She was still unknown on the rankingsst year and has already broken into the top 100 this year. I feel that if this continues, Xia Wanyuan will soon be able to meet Jun Shiling at the peak of the rankings. ]

    [ Isn¡¯t it good to donate more money to the disaster area¡­ Rich people¡­ Hehehe. They really know how to enjoy themselves. ]

    Regardless of the controversy online, after the auction ended, the auction house sent the jade cauldron to Xia Wanyuan intact.

    After obtaining the jade cauldron, Xia Wanyuan took out another jade cauldron from the ancient tomb andpared it.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. ¡°There seems to be a pattern to the positions of these two dragons. ording to this pattern, it¡¯s very likely that there are still seven jade cauldrons left.¡±

    Nine dragons holding pearls. In her previous life, this was a sign of auspiciousness.

    ¡°Then the increase in price today is a good thing.¡± Jun Shiling walked over and nced at the jade cauldron in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s not a bad thing.¡±

    If there were really seven other people scattered among the people, then the sky-high price of the jade cauldron this time would definitely make the remaining people restless.

    A million searches were not as effective as a single benefit temptation.

    Just as Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had thought, as the news of the astronomical price of the jade cauldron spread, some people had already rushed to China with the jade cauldron.

 Chapter 1405 - 1405 Photo

    1405 Photo

    Just two days after the auction ended, Xia Wanyuan had received nearly two thousand simr jade cauldrons.

    Although most of them were fakes and simr items, three of them were still originals.

    Xia Wanyuan bought these jade cauldrons. There were already five jade cauldrons in her hand. When she ced them together, she could see five jade dragons circling, as if they were going to soar into the sky.

    ¡°There are still four more.¡± Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch the dragon on the jade cauldron.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already released the news. As long as the jade cauldrons are still around, we¡¯ll find them.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand. ¡°Is there any news from Chu Yi?¡±

    From the news sent back by Xia Yu, it was almost certain that Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s coffin had been taken away by Chu Yi.

    Thinking of Xia Wei¡¯s corpse in a foreign country, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep the entire night. Once she fell asleep, she would have nightmares.

    ¡°I have something to tell you.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Xia Wei¡¯s coffin might have been stolen.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xia Wanyuan was very surprised. ¡°How did you know?¡±

    ¡°During this period of time, Chu Yi has gotten someone to seal the route to Continent F and has been looking for someone. ording to the data sent back by the informant, we obtained a photo.¡±

    As Jun Shiling spoke, he handed a photo to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan was stunned when she saw it.

    The person in this photo was clearly Xia Wei.

    However, she was stunned for a moment. In the next second, Xia Wanyuan felt a chill on her neck. ¡°How did he know Xia Wei¡¯s appearance?¡±

    The person in this photo had red lips and white teeth. He was handsome and extraordinary. He did look like Xia Wei before.

    However, it was already a thousand yearster. Shouldn¡¯t Xia Wei have turned into yellow soil?? Why did Xia Wei look like a sleeping living person in this photo?

    Jun Shiling also found it very strange. ¡°Is it someone who looks simr?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s a crescent-shaped small hole on the right side of Xia Wei¡¯s forehead. It was left behind when he was very yful and knocked into the city wall. This person has it too.¡±

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she pointed at the scar on Xia Wei¡¯s forehead in the photo.

    ¡°If you can revive, maybe he can too.¡± Jun Shiling made a bold guess.

    Xia Wanyuan was shocked. She was looking forward to it and a little afraid. ¡°You¡¯re saying that I might see my royal brother?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°Let¡¯s not think so much now, okay? If you can see each other, you¡¯ll meet sooner orter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    She had always thought that she had unintentionally barged into this other world, but everything now gave her a feeling.

    Perhaps everything was not a coincidence. There were other things hidden behind her entering this world.

    Since she could not find an answer to Emperor Xia Yuan¡¯s matter for the time being, Xia Wanyuan did not dwell on it. She put her doubts aside and devoted herself to the publicity of the television drama.

    With the poprity of the television drama, the current ¡°Under the Sky¡± was no longer just an entertainment television drama.

    It had already be a symbol, a sharp de that broke through the cultural barrier of the East. Theizens hoped that ¡°Under the Sky¡± could walk out of the country and let China¡¯s television dramas be popr overseas to counterattack.

    The officials hoped to establish China¡¯s image in the world through this television drama.

 Chapter 1406 The Princesss Vision

    Although the plot structure of the television drama "Under the Sky" was fantasy, the cultural background and various sets were all based on Chinese culture.

    Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, the television drama would not be broadcasted.

    At first, theizens felt that the broadcast was too slow and shouted at Xia Wanyuan to speed up the broadcast and y an episode every day. However, there was no response from Xia Wanyuan.

    Everyone had no choice but to find fun themselves when the television drama was not broadcasted. As they searched, everyone realized that there were many details hidden in the television drama.

    The marketing ounts seized this wave of poprity and caused waves of discussion.

    "Amazing. ording to theizens, therge pce buildings in ''Under the Sky'' and the small fan in the handmaiden''s hand all have deep historical connections."

    [ I agree. We just had construction ss today. The professor directly used the set in the television drama to teach. The seventy-year-old professor directly said that Xia Wanyuan was his idol. He said that Xia Wanyuan had condensed the essence of China''s ancient buildings into the set. This must have taken a lot of effort. ]

    [ Amazing!!! My grandmother and the rest are the sessors of the intangible cultural heritage. Not only is she interested in the plot, but she''s also especially concerned about the props behind the main character every time. She told me that those props are all professionally-made. Don''t look at a small paper cut. They''re all master-level works. ]

    [There''s also the set of the entire television drama¡­ She didn''t casually make it. Instead, it fused with the scenes in many ancient paintings¡­ If you casually pause, you can see many mysteries from it.]

    As more and more people began to discuss, the topic of "Under the Sky" became more and more popr.

    There was a trend of "we''re here to cause trouble" on the Inte. Everyone rushed to look for all sorts of details in the television drama "Under the Sky".

    Then, he realized that there were so many details that he could not count them.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Theizens were happy to y this as a game. However, unknowingly, those traditional cultures that no one usually cared about were remembered by everyone bit by bit.

    At the same time, it also became popr with arge number of cultural products. As long as it appeared in television dramas, it attracted everyone''s fanatical pursuit.

    At this moment, in the Xiafeng Group, looking at the exponential increase in profits, Shen Qian could not help but shake his head. "CEO Xia is really too amazing."

    Back then, when Xia Wanyuan took over the Xiafeng Group from Xia Yuanqing, she had many choices in front of her about how to transform.

    Finance, real estate, and the Inte were all extremely popr industries with extremely high profits and high returns. Even Shen Qian had advised Xia Wanyuan to choose the Inte industry.

    However, Xia Wanyuan chose the cultural industry. In the past two years, she had gotten Shen Qian to build the infrastructure at all costs.

    Shen Qian brought people topile cultural heritage books from all over the country and established a cooperation with all the major cultural bases.

    Among them were many rather unpopr categories that no one usually cared about.

    If Shen Qian was still suspicious of this industry, the huge market had already told him that Xia Wanyuan''s decision back then was right.

    China''s culture was far-reaching and huge. With such a treasure trove, he could almost foresee that in the future, this project would be the support core of the entire corporation.

 Chapter 1407 - 1407 Southwest

    1407 Southwest

    Shen Qian sorted out all the data and sent it to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°CEO Xia, this television drama is very sessful. Not only did it drive up the industries we cooperated with, but it also brought the entire Moon Bay project to fame.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was not surprised by this oue at all. She flipped through the documents. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Continue to work hard.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not hard at all.¡± Shen Qian shook his head repeatedly. Although the work intensity during this period of time was very high, when Xia Wanyuan recruited him into thepany back then, she had given him shares. The more money he earned for thepany, the more he could get, so he was full of energy.

    !!

    Xia Wanyuan was very relieved with Shen Qian. She gave Shen Qian some instructions and hung up.

    At that moment, a new email entered her email. Xia Wanyuan opened it and saw that it was from Ryan.

    ¡°Goddess, do you like such a jade cauldron??¡± The apanying photo was a photo of the jade cauldron.

    From the details of the photo, this jade cauldron was very simr to the five Xia Wanyuan had collected.

    Xia Wanyuan contacted Ryan directly. ¡°Where did you get that jade cauldron?¡±

    ¡°This is the Blue family¡¯s collection. I saw it in Mr. Blue¡¯s private office. At that time, I thought it looked good, so I took a photo. Didn¡¯t I see you buy one at a high price some time ago? Only then did I remember.¡±

    ¡°Collection?¡± Xia Wanyuan suspected that this was very likely the sixth. ¡°Then can you sell it to me? Where is this collection now?¡±

    Speaking of this, Ryan¡¯s tone was a little hesitant. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it in Mr. Blue¡¯s private office previously? Now¡­ Coincidentally, that office became Lin Man¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Xia Wanyuan knew Lin Man and Li Na¡¯s hostility towards her, but no matter what, she had to get that jade cauldron. ¡°Okay, I understand. Thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. Let¡¯s talkter.¡±

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. It was fine if it was in someone else¡¯s hands, but now that the thing was with Lin Man and Li Na, it was probably impossible to buy it with money. She had to think of other ways.

    The news of Xia Wanyuan spending 200 million yuan to buy the jade cauldron had shocked the world and been on many media websites.

    Lin Man and Li Na had naturally heard of it. Looking at the ordinary-looking jade cauldron in front of her, Lin Man was a little puzzled. ¡°Is there a need for her to spend so much money to buy this jade cauldron?¡±

    Li Na stroked the dragon on the jade cauldron. ¡°I heard that she even epted a batch simr to this. I wonder what trick she¡¯s pulling up her sleeves.¡±

    ¡°Ignore her. Anyway, we definitely won¡¯t let her get the one in our hands.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the southwest of China, the originally deste vige was now filled with dark green green sheds.

    Unlike the greenhouses elsewhere that contained vegetables and fruits, the greenhouses here were filled with patients.

    ¡°Sir, our medical resources are no longer enough. There are more and more patients now.¡± The subordinate reported the news to Bo Xiao anxiously.

    Bo Xiao was much thinner than when he first arrived. He looked at the greenhouse in front of him, his eyes dark. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to borrow someone from the hospital in the southwest? Take my warrant and borrow them.¡±

    ¡°Sir, I¡¯ve already given it to him, but he won¡¯t lend them to me.¡±

    Since ancient times, there had been factions everywhere. Although Bo Xiao had a high rank, it was still difficult to move here without the support of the local people.

    Coincidentally, the local manager was Lin Qingyuan¡¯s trusted aide.

 Chapter 1408 Medicine

    It wasmon knowledge that Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling were close.

    Ever since he first came here, he had been treated unfairly by the local managers.

    Bo Xiao did not value those superficial skills, so he did not argue. However, it was different now.

    Because there was a group of escaped criminals at the southwest border. They were extremely cunning and ferocious. During this period of time, in order to deal with them, Bo Xiao''s subordinates had suffered heavy casualties.

    Most importantly, at this critical moment, the neighboring countries at the border kept doing all sorts of small actions. From time to time, they would get people to provoke them.

    Under such circumstances, the local leader was still unwilling to open the green passageway. Everyone was secretly angry.

    "Major General, this can''t go on. They''re still trying to intercept our supplies. They''re too much."

    Although it was not to the extent of not distributing the supplies at all, as a local manager, there was no problem in dying the distribution of the supplies for a few days with various reasons.

    Bo Xiao frowned. At this moment, the doctor in the team walked over. "There''s a shortage of medicine now. The next batch of medicine needs to be sent over early. Otherwise, the patients won''t be able tost long."

    "How much is left?"

    "The remaining medicine canst at most three days."

    "I''ll think of a way. Think of a way to stabilize it first," Bo Xiao said as he made a call.

    Before the call connected, Bo Xiao saw a group of people walking over. He hung up.

    "Mr. Bo." Mu Feng nodded slightly at Bo Xiao and extended a hand to him. "Long time no see."

    "CEO Mu." Bo Xiao held Mu Feng''s hand. "Long time no see. Why are you here?"

    Mu Feng took half a step back and introduced the people behind him to Bo Xiao. "These are the doctors Wei Jin and I found for you. There are also some medicine in the car behind."

    "You¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>

    As if knowing what Bo Xiao was going to say, Mu Feng waved his hand. "We know better than you whose territory this is. You don''t have to count on them."

    "Thank you." Bo Xiao nodded at Mu Feng.

    "You''re too kind. The things have been delivered, so I won''t stay any longer. Wei Jin is still waiting for me in the neighboring city." Mu Feng waved at Bo Xiao and prepared to leave.

    "Okay, bye."

    Mu Feng brought so many things into the southwest and could not hide it along the way. The news quickly spread.

    "Master, Mu Feng and Wei Jin have already sent the medicine over. We can''t do anything to Bo Xiao."

    Lin Qingyuan sat on the chair and drank his tea quietly. "I didn''t think you could do anything to Bo Xiao to begin with. Even if Mu Feng doesn''t go, Jun Shiling will get someone to send the things to him."

    "Then why did you let me block their supplies back then?? I''ve already offended Bo Xiao."

    "Go and apologize if you offended him." Lin Qingyuan blew at the tea leaves in his cup. "Go now. I''ve already prepared everything for you."

    "¡­" The manager could not understand Lin Qingyuan''s thoughts at all. From the looks of it, Lin Qingyuan did not look like he wanted to expose him. He could only nod and agree. "Okay, I''ll go now. Where is the thing? Shall I take it away directly?"

    Lin Qingyuan put down his teacup, dipped it in water, and wrote a location on the table. "Get someone to pick it up here."

    The manager had been in the bureaucracy for so long, so he could naturally tell that Lin Qingyuan did not want to leave any traces of contact with him.

    He was a little curious. What was it that made Lin Qingyuan so afraid?

    After leaving the Lin family, he sent someone to retrieve the things. Seeing the things Lin Qingyuan had prepared, he was even more puzzled.

    Because this was arge pile of medicine.

 Chapter 1409 Illness

    The person who asked me to stop Bo Xiao''s supplies was Lin Qingyuan. Lin Qingyuan even asked me to destroy the medicine transported from the north.

    Now that Lin Qingyuan had gotten so many medicines to give to Bo Xiao, what trick did he have up his sleeve?

    However, no matter how puzzled he was, he did not dare to say anything about Lin Qingyuan''s decision. After all, he had Lin Qingyuan''s help to be able to sit in this position.

    Soon, the manager brought the medicine to where Bo Xiao and the rest were stationed.

    The manager smiled and weed Bo Xiao. "I''m really sorry. You know that it''s been chaotic recently. I''ve been so busy every day that I''ve really neglected you. My subordinates are also stupid. They didn''t even remind me to prioritize your matters. I''m here to apologize."

    Bo Xiao snorted coldly. "There''s no need. You''re so tired, there''s no need to specially make a trip."

    "I have to, I have to." The manager gestured for his subordinate to bring the things up. "I heard that you urgently need medicine here. I specially got someone to transfer these over. Use them first. If it''s not enough, just say it. I heard that you need a doctor. I''ve already gotten someone to urgently transfer 20 over. They''ll probably arrive tomorrow."

    Although Bo Xiao could not stand the person in front of him, he still needed the things and doctors he had brought. He barely dealt with the manager and got someone to send him away.

    After they left, Bo Xiao called for the trusted doctor. "Check if there''s anything wrong with the medicine he sent."

    "Yes." The doctors checked carefully for a long time and finally confirmed with Bo Xiao. "There''s no problem."

    However, Bo Xiao was still worried about Lin Qingyuan''s people. He waved his hand. "Take the things to the side and don''t use them for the time being."

    "Yes."

    Now that the supplies were in ce and the team of doctors was gradually strengthening, Bo Xiao was gradually relieved.

    Thinking that he had not called An Rao in a long time, Bo Xiao called her.

    The moment the call connected, An Rao was bringing Xiao Qingli. She pointed at the camera. "Quick, call Daddy."<novelnext></novelnext>

    During the time Bo Xiao had been in the southwest, not only had he lost weight, but he had also darkened a little. His outline was even more determined. Xiao Qingli did not recognize him at first.

    When he gradually familiarized himself with Bo Xiao''s gaze, Xiao Qingli waved at Bo Xiao.

    It was unknown how many times Xiao Qingli had been guided recently. At this moment, he looked at Bo Xiao and said vaguely, "Daddy."

    Hearing this childish voice, Bo Xiao''s body trembled slightly. He gripped his phone tightly. "Mm."

    Xiao Qingli seemed to be encouraged and kept calling him Daddy. An Rao sat at the side and smiled at Bo Xiao.

    Behind him was a heavy responsibility. However, in the short video with his wife and son, Bo Xiao felt a rare calmness.

    Happy times were always so short. Soon, his subordinate came over. "Sir, a patient suddenly fell sick and passed away."

    Hearing his subordinate''s words, Bo Xiao frowned slightly.

    An Rao sensibly held Xiao Qingli''s hand and waved at Bo Xiao. "Bye, go ahead. We should eat."

    "Okay." Bo Xiao nodded. After hanging up the video call, he followed his subordinate to the temporary ward.

    In the ward, a group of doctors surrounded the patient covered in a white cloth in the middle and were discussing something.

    "Is there a problem?" Bo Xiao asked.

    Sensing Bo Xiao enter, the doctor hurriedly pulled him out. "We suspect that an unknown infectious disease is among these patients."

 Chapter 1410 Discovery

    No team leader wanted to hear the words "infectious disease" because these three words represented trouble.

    Bo Xiao''s heart sank. "Be more specific, what are the characteristics? Is the infection ability strong? Where is the source of the illness?"

    "The characteristics are unknown. ording to the current situation, the infectious ability is not very strong. The source of the illness has not been found."

    "Has it spread?" Bo Xiao was most worried about this. Once this unknown illness spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    "Not yet. We''re rtively isted here to begin with. In addition, there''s no one around. The people with symptoms have been isted by us," the doctor reported to Bo Xiao affirmatively.

    "That''s good. Follow up on the research." Bo Xiao was relieved. As long as it did not spread, it was not that serious.

    At this moment, they could not be sure what the illness was. In order to avoid causing panic, the team suppressed the news and only a few people knew.

    Bo Xiao did not report the news to the officials and told Jun Shiling instead.

    The southwest region was hot and humid to begin with. In addition, there were people mixed in that area, and strange illnesses often appeared. Jun Shiling was very calm.

    To be safe, he sent his trusted aide, Shen Xiu, to the southwest to help Bo Xiao.

    "Why are you still busy?" It was alreadyte at night. Seeing that Jun Shiling had not returned for a long time, Xia Wanyuan went to the study to look for him.

    "I have something on." Jun Shiling turned off theputer and stood up to pull Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan pped Jun Shiling''s ws away. "Let me tell you something serious."

    Jun Shiling was a little unhappy that he could not touch his wife. He snorted coldly. "Tell me, I won''t agree."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and ced her hand in Jun Shiling''s, but she leaned over. "I want to go to America."

    "No." This time, he really disagreed.

    "There''s really something. One of that jade cauldron might be in the Blue family. Isn''t ''Under the Sky'' going to promote the overseas market recently? Not only am I going to America, but the main creator of the entire production team needs to go too." Xia Wanyuan analyzed the situation with Jun Shiling.

    "America is tooplicated. It''s not like you don''t know that the Blue family is restless." Jun Shiling disagreed.

    "What about the jade cauldron? We have to see if it''s that one, right?"

    Jun Shiling pondered for a moment. "I have a way. Stay in the country and recuperate. You''re not allowed to go."

    "... Okay." Xia Wanyuan knew that after what had happened before, Jun Shiling was like a frightened bird to her safety. In the end, shepromised and followed Jun Shiling''s wishes.

    In Continent F, even though he had searched for a long time, Chu Yi still could not find any news about Emperor Xia Yuan.

    "You bunch of trash." During this period of time, everything had not gone smoothly. Chu Yi threw the document at his subordinate unhappily. "Where''s the person I asked you to find?"

    "Young Master, we''ve sealed all the borders and ports and haven''t found anyone simr. The person you''re looking for should still be in Continent F."

    "Of course I know that he''s still in Continent F. The key is where is he?!!" Emperor Xia Yuan had been regarded as a supreme treasure by the Chu family for generations. Now that he had lost it in his hands, Chu Yi did not know how to face the people in the family.

    At that moment, a subordinate suddenly walked in with the surveince camera. "Young Master, we found some surveince footage here. Miss Su once stayed in your study for a long time."

 Chapter 1411 Untitled

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and took the surveince video from his subordinate. Then, his expression darkened. "Where''s Su Yao??"

    "Miss Su is in the bedroom." Looking at Chu Yi''s expression, the subordinate''s back turned cold as he replied carefully.

    "Bring her here."

    "Yes."

    Soon, Su Yao was brought over. Her hands hidden in her sleeves had already begun to tremble faintly, but her face was still very calm.

    "Young Master, why did you call me over?"

    Chu Yi gestured for his subordinates to bring Su Yao into the study. Then, he asked all his subordinates to go down first before looking at Su Yao. "Apany me to look at something."

    Su Yao forced a smile. "What is it?"

    Chu Yi projected the video onto the screen and hugged Su Yao. "Let''s watch a video."

    As the screen opened, Su Yao''s figure appeared in the camera. She first observed her surroundings, then sneaked into Chu Yi''s study.

    Sitting in Chu Yi''s arms and looking at the scene on the camera, Su Yao''s hair was about to stand on end. She moved ufortably in Chu Yi''s arms. "Why are you showing me this?"

    The corners of Chu Yi''s lips curled up into a smile. "I just think it''s very interesting. Isn''t it beautiful?? Finish watching it."

    With that, he grabbed Su Yao''s waist and forcefully held her in his arms before continuing to watch the recording.

    This video was not sped up at all, so every second seemed to be replicating everything at that time.

    The recording could not see the scene after Su Yao entered the room. There was only a closed door.

    However, time passed little by little, and the door did not open for a long time. Su Yao gradually began to tremble in Chu Yi''s arms.

    Chu Yi raised Su Yao''s chin and looked straight into her eyes. "Why? It''s only been a minute. Why are you trembling? There''s still nearly half an hour left."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Su Yao clenched her fists. "I''m just helping you pack your things inside. Do you not trust me?"

    "Really?" Chu Yi smiled. "Pack my things. Can you tell me what you''re packing?"

    As Chu Yi spoke, he increased the strength in his hand until Su Yao''s waist was bruised from his grip. She could not help but cry out in pain.

    "I really didn''t do anything." Su Yao frowned with tears in her eyes. "Trust me."

    Chu Yi smiled. "Who are you? Tell me first."

    Su Yao''s heart tightened. "I''m Su Yao."

    "Really?" Chu Yi looked straight into Su Yao''s eyes, his eyes filled with darkness. "Feng Wuyou, how long are you going to hide?"

    Su Yao''s body stiffened slightly. She endured the pain in her waist. "I''m not."

    "Really?" Chu Yi touched her eyes. "Then tell me, why are your eyes exactly the same as Feng Wuyou''s??"

    "Young Master, you''re wrong." Su Yao struggled to leave, but Chu Yi restrained her tightly.

    "Feng Wuyou, I''ll give you a chance. If you confess honestly today, I can let bygones be bygones. However, if you keep being stubborn, I''m afraid you don''t want to know what the punishment of our Chu family is, right?"

    Su Yao still shook her head. "What are you talking about? I don''t know."

    "You don''t know?" Chu Yi smiled. "Then let''s see who''s stubborn."

    With that, Chu Yi called his subordinate in. "Throw her into the water prison."

    However, half an hourter, his subordinate returned. "Young Master, Miss Su is pregnant."

 Chapter 1412 Torture

    At that moment, Chu Yi was reading the document sent back by his subordinate. Hearing this news, Chu Yi instantly tightened his grip on the fountain pen in his hand. His face darkened. "Ignore her."

    "Yes."

    After the subordinate left, Chu Yi was no longer in the mood to read the documents. He threw the pen in his hand aside and stood up to walk to Su Yao''s room.

    Su Yao had been here for a long time, but this was the first time Chu Yi had stepped into her room.

    Unlike Su Yao''s elegance, her bedroom decorations were a little enthusiastic. There were a few fiery red roses on the bedside table. The details of the entire room made Chu Yi feel an obvious sense of familiarity.

    Seeing a pair of sses by Su Yao''s bed, Chu Yi''s eyes changed slightly. He walked over and picked up the sses.

    It was a pair of gold-rimmed sses that Chu Yi had worn when he went to China.

    Rubbing this pair of clearly well-guarded sses, Chu Yi''s eyes were dark.

    At this moment, in the water prison, Su Yao was hugging her arms and trembling. The cold air that kept seeping up from the water froze her.

    "Su Yao, continue to be arrogant. Didn''t you rely on your doting on Young Master?" A woman with thick makeup sat on the water prison with a whip in her hand and looked at Su Yao smugly. "So you have such a day??"

    "So what?" Su Yao looked up. Her face was abnormally pale. Other than being weak, she also looked a little pitiful, making the woman on top jealous.

    She reached out and whipped Su Yao.

    Su Yao''s entire body was already highly sensitive because of the cold water prison. Now that the whip was whipped, Su Yao trembled and threw herself into the dirty ice water.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Looking at Su Yao''s sorry state, the woman sitting above smiled smugly. "Everyone,e and take a look. This is our Young Master''s most doted on woman."

    As the woman spoke, she whipped Su Yao a few more times. Su Yao hugged her arms and curled up in the corner.

    The woman still felt that it was not enough. She looked at her subordinate. "Catch Su Yao and drag her in front of me."

    After all, Su Yao was someone Chu Yi had instructed to send over. The subordinates did not dare to be too rash and tried to persuade her. "Miss Qin, after all, Young Master asked this person to be sent over. If Young Master finds out, he will definitely be angry."

    "What are you afraid of?" Qin Mi rolled her eyes. "Brother Chu already asked me to throw her here. I''ll bear the responsibility if anything happens. Bring her over."

    No one could dissuade Qin Mi, so they could only pull Su Yao out of the water prison and bring her to Qin Mi.

    Qin Mi held a whip in her left hand and a basin of salt in her right. As she drew blood on Su Yao''s body, she sprinkled salt on her.

    Su Yao kept struggling on the ground, looking extremely miserable. Even the surrounding people could not bear to watch anymore, but Qin Mi was quite relieved and evenughed out loud.

    Some people could not bear it and looked away. "Miss Qin, is that enough? It''ll be terrible if Young Master finds out."

    Qin Mi was quite smug. "How would he know? Even if this woman dies here, Brother Chu won''t look at this vixen again."

    "Really?" At this moment, Su Yao, who was on the ground, spoke. She was already on herst breath, but her bright eyes had a hint of a mocking smile.

 Chapter 1413 - 1413 Rescue

    1413 Rescue

    Hearing Su Yao¡¯s words, Qin Mi sneered and sprinkled all the salt in the basin on Su Yao, causing her to cry out in pain.

    ¡°Who are you scaring?¡± Qin Mi looked down at Su Yao. ¡°Do you know what Brother Chu ordered? He said that he wanted to sentence you to extreme punishment.¡±

    Su Yao clung to the ground with both hands. She felt that her internal organs were mixed together and constantlypressed into extreme pain.

    Looking at Su Yao¡¯s painful expression, Qin Mi was delighted. She stepped on Su Yao¡¯s hand and admired her struggling expression excitedly. ¡°I hate you. Ever since you came, Brother Chu has never bothered with me. What right do you have?? You¡¯re just a ything.¡±

    Under multiple tortures, Su Yao gradually could not take it anymore. Her eyes began to close, but Qin Mi was not prepared to let Su Yao off.

    She pulled Su Yao¡¯s hair and reached out for her subordinate to bring the whip over.

    However, before the whip could hit her, it was stopped.

    Qin Mi turned around unhappily, but she was stunned when she saw who it was.

    Chu Yi stood at the door, holding the end of the whip with one hand. His expression was dark as he looked straight at her.

    Qin Miughed dryly and walked towards Chu Yi. ¡°Brother Chu, why are you here? This ce is so dirty. It¡¯s not a ce you shoulde.¡±

    Chu Yi did not speak. Instead, he looked at Su Yao, who was lying on the ground not far away.

    Su Yao¡¯s face was already covered in blood. She looked at Chu Yi from afar, and the light in her bright eyes seemed to be about to be extinguished at any time.

    Seeing Chu Yi look at Su Yao, jealousy shed across Qin Mi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Brother Chu, are you here to see if this little b*tch is dead? I¡¯ve already helped you teach her a lesson¡­ Brother Chu??¡±

    Just as Qin Mi was talking, Chu Yi suddenly walked forward and picked Su Yao up,pletely ignoring the blood on Su Yao.

    ¡°Brother Chu??¡± Seeing Chu Yi¡¯s actions, Qin Mi walked forward in surprise. ¡°You¡­¡±

    Chu Yi turned around and nced at Qin Mi. Qin Mi felt as if a knife was scratching her heart.

    ¡°Miss Qin, please understand something. This is the Chu family. Even if I want her to die, I have to do it myself. Someone, invite Miss Qin out.¡±

    With that, Chu Yi carried Su Yao and left. No matter how Qin Mi shouted behind him, Chu Yi did not turn around.

    Chu Yi carried Su Yao into his room. The butler was stunned when he saw Su Yao¡¯s bloody appearance. ¡°Young Master?¡±

    ¡°Get someone to invite the doctor over.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Chu Yi ced Su Yao on the bed. Su Yao, whose eyes were closed, said something in a daze. Chu Yi leaned over to listen and was stunned.

    Because Su Yao was calling Chu Yi.

    The doctor quickly arrived at the room. Chu Yi gave his seat to the doctor. He stood at the side and watched quietly. Just as the doctor was about to treat Su Yao¡¯s wound, Chu Yi said,

    ¡°Be gentle. She¡¯s afraid of pain.¡±

    The butler stood behind Chu Yi and looked at him thoughtfully, then at Su Yao. Then, he shook his head. Sigh.

    The wounds on Su Yao¡¯s body were serious and the doctor took a long time to treat them. Chu Yi watched from the side for a while, then went out after receiving a call.

    In the living room, a person from China was waiting for Chu Yi with a box.

    ¡°Young Master Chu.¡± Seeing Chu Yi walk over, this person hurriedly stood up.

    ¡°Tell me, how¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°The virus has been sessfully imnted. Now, it depends on whether Bo Xiao can sessfully break out.¡±

 Chapter 1414 - 1414 The Princessâ€™s Beauty is Crazy

    1414 The Princess¡¯s Beauty is Crazy

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. ¡°What did Yu Qian say?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no news from them recently.¡± The subordinate handed a document to Chu Yi. ¡°Yu Qian has been living in seclusion recently. I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s doing. Even the Poison Scorpion n that he had been preparing a while ago has been put on hold.¡±

    Chu Yi casually flipped through the document and put it aside. ¡°Alright, go down first and monitor the movements in China closely. Report to me if there are any problems.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The surge hidden in the darkness was brewing, but under the sunlight, everything was as usual.

    Weibo was still dominated by all sorts of entertainment trending topics, with Xia Wanyuan always upying the first position.

    The television drama ¡°Under the Sky¡± became more and more popr day by day.

    In the first half of the television drama, everyone still felt that ¡°Under the Sky¡± could barelypete with the poprity of ¡°Ice¡±.

    Then, when the television drama was broadcasted to the second half, no one said that ¡°Under the Sky¡± could notpare to ¡°Ice¡±, which had been popr worldwide for nearly five years.

    The turning point of this change was the appearance of the little grape demon yed by Xia Wanyuan.

    Although ¡°Under the Sky¡± had three male leads as the core story line, there was nock of outstanding supporting roles.

    Among them, Xia Wanyuan yed Jun Shiling¡¯s official partner, the little grape demon.

    Xia Wanyuan had acted in many roles since she debuted, but this was the first time everyone had seen her act in such a slightly agile role.

    Xia Wanyuan usually gave people the impression that she was cold and elegant. Everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s agile role would be more out of ce.

    However, in a fairy forest shrouded in clouds, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a light purple dress. The look of her suddenly turning around from the morning light had upied the top ten trending topics on Weibo that day.

    She suddenly turned around, her eyes slightly curved with a lively smile. It was as if she could see thousands of flowers blooming in her eyes, and she could see a deer jumping nimbly on the morning dew.

    [ F*ck, I¡¯m tempted. Who doesn¡¯t want to see this little elf!!! Don¡¯t me the male lead for resisting the Heaven Realm for her, okay? If it were me, not to mention the three worlds, I would even overturn the six worlds. ]

    [ Is Xia Wanyuan really the mother of three children¡­ Good lord, why is it like a joke when she gives birth? This figure, this temperament, even a sixteen-year-old flower girl like me looks like a vige girl in front of her. ]

    [ So beautiful. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty is as crazy as ever. Boohoo, there¡¯s no one else with such acting skills. She¡¯s really beautiful. I love Xia Wanyuan so much!!! ]

    Beauty had special privileges in the world. Xia Wanyuan had only appeared for three seconds, but in these three seconds, not only did it cause a collective sensation among the domesticizens, but it also triggered discussions among the foreignizens.

    The difference caused by the cultural barrier would make it difficult for the two sides to fuse, but at the same time, it would add a sense of mystery and novelty to each other.

    To foreignizens, it was rare to see a beauty like Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a long dress and bun, fluttering in the clouds.

    Hence, her scene instantly upied the trending list overseas.

    This should have been the headquarters of ¡°Ice¡±, but now that Xia Wanyuan had swiped the screen, the production team of ¡°Ice¡± could not sit still anymore.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?? Why was the ranking we bought pushed down by Xia Wanyuan!!¡±

 Chapter 1415 Arrogant

    The staff silently wiped the saliva off his face. "It''s like this. ording to the poprity of the tform, when the poprity of another topic exceeds the second ce by five times, it will squeeze out the topic position we bought."

    "Xia Wanyuan and the rest also bought a trending spot?"

    "That''s not it¡­ She''s really popr."

    It was good that the subordinate did not say this. The more he said, the more anxious the investor and director of "Ice" became. "It''s so popr?? What about our television drama?"

    "ording to the data, they might surpass us in the next episode¡­" The subordinate reported carefully as he wiped his cold sweat.

    "We can''t continue like this." The director was worried. "The selection of the World Film and Television Golden Globes ising up. Didn''t we prepare for five years for this award?"

    "Increase our investment. We must suppress Xia Wanyuan''s limelight. This year''s Golden Globe Award must be ours."

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had no intention of winning any Golden Globes. She was troubled by three clingy little cuties.

    As time passed, Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin''s facial features became more and more open. Like Xiao Bao, the two children had inherited almost all of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling''s good points. Their lips were red and their teeth were white. Their eyes were bright and they would smile with their white teeth when they saw people. They were extremely cute.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch Little Xiaxia''s fair face. Little Xiaxia reached out and hugged Xia Wanyuan''s arm, smiling happily at her.

    Xiao Bao leaned to the side. "Mommy, why is Sister so cute?"

    Xia Wanyuan touched Little Xiaxia''s face with her hand. "That''s right, she''s super cute."

    However, this cuteness was also a sweet burden.

    After all, the more the children liked Xia Wanyuan, the more they clung to her. Until night fell, the two children insisted on pestering Xia Wanyuan.

    Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin each hugged one of Xia Wanyuan''s arms, while Xiao Bao hugged his sister tightly beside Little Xiaxia. The four of them upied the entire bed.

    Little Xiaxiapletely inherited Xia Wanyuan''s facial features. Her bright eyes blinked at Xia Wanyuan, as if she was curiously sizing up the woman who was closest to her.

    Xia Wanyuan kissed the three children on the foreheads. "Goodnight, babies. Sleep early."

    Xiao Bao and Little Xiaxia had always been very obedient and slept when it was time. Little Jiajin, who was usually the most disobedient to the nanny''s discipline, was quite obedient when he was by Xia Wanyuan''s side. Xia Wanyuan let him sleep.

    Late at night, Jun Shiling finally returned to the manor. Just as he was about to look for Xia Wanyuan to absorb energy, he pushed open the door and saw the four of them lying peacefully on the bed.

    Hearing footsteps, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes. She nced at Jun Shiling and shook her head at him. "You can only sleep in the guest room tonight."

    Jun Shiling walked over and nced at the children, then leaned towards Xia Wanyuan. "You''re letting me sleep in the study again. You''re too much."

    "Go quickly and rest early." Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

    "No need." Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan''s right cheek. "I''ll sleep on the sofa. If the children wake up tonight, I''ll take care of them."

    "No need. At work, you''re already¡­" Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling stopped her.

    "Sleep quickly. Leave it to me." Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan''s hair. "It''s already very hard for you to give birth to them. Leave the rest to me."

    Warmth appeared in Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "Hubby, you''re the best."

    Jun Shiling reached out and turned off the light. "Goodnight."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Good night."

    It was alreadyte at night in China. Continent F was the hottest time in the afternoon.

    Yu Qian stood beside the rockery and was watering the orchids by his feet. "Where''s Brother?"

    "Boss, Mr. Wei said that he''s going to take a look at the situation in Luoxi City." Jayce nced at Yu Qian''s expression. "Boss, Mr. Wei should be saving those injured after the war again, right?"

    During this period of time, Yu Qian and Wei Zimu''s rtionship had eased a lot, and Yu Qian had be more and more indulgent towards Wei Zimu.

    Now that Continent F was filled with war, many cities had arge number of injuries. When Wei Zimu was free, he would bring people up to treat the people who had been disced by the war.

    In Jayce''s opinion, this behavior waspletely unnecessary. After all, behind these wars, Yu Qian was often involved, and some actions were personally initiated by Wei Zimu.

    Now that Wei Zimu had run to save people hypocritically, Jayce scoffed.

    Yu Qian did not have any other expression. He carefully looked at the orchid in front of him. "If he likes it, let him be."

    "¡­" Jayce knew that Yu Qian would say this. Recently, Yu Qian''s tolerance for Wei Zimu had been ridiculously high.

    Just as the two of them were talking, Wei Zimu happened to return to the base and walked towards Yu Qian from afar.

    Yu Qian looked up at him and sent Jayce away.

    "You''re back?"

    "Why do I feel that there''s something wrong with the recent situation? There are many unfamiliar forces in Continent F." As Wei Zimu walked over, he opened the box in his hand and took out the small package.

    "It''s normal." A cold glint shed across Yu Qian''s eyes. "Old K''s remaining forces have finally appeared."

    Ten years ago, Yu Qian had forcefully killed Old K and killed all his old forces. However, Old K''s forces were spread all over the world, and a portion of them had disappeared from then on. Over the years, he had hidden his strength and bided his time. Now, he had finally begun to show his fangs.

    "This is for you." Wei Zimu handed the package to Yu Qian.

    "What is it?" Yu Qian did not reach out to take it. Instead, he looked down at Wei Zimu.

    "A little food and a set of clothes. I know you only wear custom-made clothes, but I passed by a Chinese city and saw that there were people selling such silk clothes. This was what you wanted the most on your birthday in the past."

    Looking at the clothes in Wei Zimu''s hand, Yu Qian''s eyes flickered and his grip on the kettle tightened. "Didn''t I tell you not to y the family card with me anymore? Do you think I''ll still believe you? Or do you think the person standing in front of you now will still be moved by these things?"

    Wei Zimu pursed his thin lips and ced the package on the rockery at the side. "I''ll go back first. Let''s eat togetherter."

    With that, Wei Zimu left.

    Yu Qian stood rooted to the ground for a long time. He looked at the package beside him, then retracted his gaze and turned to walk back. After taking three steps, he returned and took the package away.

    At this moment, in the open sea of the TP Sea, Sea Shark was in an encrypted meeting with Chu Yi.

    "Are you sure you want to touch him? If there''s a counterattack, can you withstand it?" Chu Yi nestled on the sofa and looked straight at Sea Shark opposite him.

    "Do you know that Yu Qian has a vine? He''s unwilling to give us the vine and wants to monopolize it himself. Can''t you tell? We''ve worked hard for so long. I don''t want to drink his meat soup. Young Master Chu, I know that you and Yu Qian have been fighting for Continent F. If we seed this time, you''ll be the master of Continent F. Are you really not tempted?"

 Chapter 1416 - 1416 Hope

    1416 Hope

    Hearing Sea Shark¡¯s words, Chu Yi¡¯s eyebrows twitched.

    The reason why he could attack the overlord Feng family in Continent M without anyone knowing was not because he was lucky.

    Although on the surface, everyone called him Young Master and the head of the entire Chu family seemed to be his father, in fact, from five years ago, the actual control of the Chu family had already fallen into Chu Yi¡¯s hands.

    Father Chu had high hopes for this outstanding son and gave him full trust.

    Chu Yi did not let him down and led the entire Chu family to be stronger and stronger.

    There were no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the world. A few years ago, in order to obtain the greatest support, the Chu family and Yu Qian joined forces and forged the entire Continent F into an iron te.

    Now, the plump Chu Yi was no longer satisfied with eating. What he wanted was to monopolize, be the overlord, and turn back to China to be the king of the world.

    Sea Shark sat opposite and quietly observed Chu Yi¡¯s expression. He knew that his words had tempted Chu Yi.

    As expected, Chu Yi looked at him after thinking for a while. ¡°Then what do you want?¡±

    ¡°I want the medicine under Yu Qian and the route he controls.¡± When Sea Shark said this, his eyes lit up, as if this huge wealth would be in his hands in the next second.

    Chu Yi nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    The two of them made an alliance and dismissed all their subordinates. They discussed in the dark room for nearly three hours before finally leaving.

    Watching Sea Shark leave, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. If I could really pull Yu Qian down this time, the entire State F would be at my fingertips.

    At this moment, on the other side of Continent F, Yu Qian was still unaware of the impending danger. He was sitting in the living room with a cold expression.

    Jayce walked forward carefully. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve already sent someone to invite Young Master Wei. He¡­¡±

    ¡°Why should I invite him?¡± Yu Qian threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table. ¡°Even if he dies¡­¡±

    ¡°What about me?¡± Before Yu Qian could finish speaking, Wei Zimu¡¯s voice came from the door.

    Ever since Yu Qian was willing to give the special medicine to Xia Wanyuan and let her sessfully escape from the gates of hell, Wei Zimu¡¯s attitude towards Yu Qian had visibly improved.

    In fact, in the boring environment of the base, Wei Zimu had always liked to wear some dark clothes. During this period of time, he had returned to the light-colored clothes he was used to.

    Now, Wei Zimu was dressed in a white shirt and had a faint smile on his face. Even Jayce, who had always hated Wei Zimu, felt that his mood seemed to improve when he interacted with Wei Zimu.

    Yu Qian stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Eat.¡±

    However, when he passed by Wei Zimu, Wei Zimu stopped him. ¡°I just went to get something. Look at this.¡±

    Seeing the thing in Wei Zimu¡¯s hand, Yu Qian stopped in his tracks and frowned at Wei Zimu. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Wei Zimu was holding a small cake in his hand. It was very simple and there was a small red umbre on it, like it was from decades ago.

    ¡°Happy birthday.¡± Wei Zimu handed the cake to Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian¡¯s gaze focused on the small cake. In a daze, he seemed to see his young self and Wei Zimu.

    Twenty years ago, such a cake was the best birthday gift for a child of a few years old.

    Yu Qian had once yearned for such a small cake on his birthday. Unfortunately, he had spent that birthday in Old K¡¯s dungeon.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± Wei Zimu smiled at Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian hesitated for a while before finally turning around and sitting in his seat with Wei Zimu.

    Seeing this, Jayce shook his head and retreated.

    ¡ª

    In China, Xia Wanyuan yed with the children for a while before handing them to Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao brought his younger siblings to y with toys happily.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, what are you looking at?¡± Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and asked curiously.

    Jun Shiling turned off theputer. ¡°Don¡¯te into contact with theputer so much.¡±

    ¡°Are you hiding something from me?¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled and teased Jun Shiling. Are you chatting with some beauty?¡±

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan over helplessly. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? There¡¯s news from your brother.¡±

    ¡°What news?¡± Xia Wanyuan became serious. ¡°Where?¡±

    ¡°Chu Yi has been looking for him recently. He was taken away.¡± Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s worried expression, Jun Shiling decided not to hide it from her anymore. He turned on hisputer. ¡°Look here.¡±

    On theputer was a photo taken at the entrance of the hospital. Jun Shiling erged the photo and could see that a person had just been carried out of the ambnce.

    The person beside him deliberately wanted to block him, but as the figures moved, half of his face was still revealed.

    Seeing that face, pain shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face. ¡°That¡¯s Xia Wei.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already sent someone to Continent F. Since Chu Yi is still looking for him, it means that Xia Wei is still safe

 Chapter 1417 Missing

    Looking at the young face in the photo, pain shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes.

    Ever since Emperor Xia Yuan''s tombs appeared, Xia Wanyuan had be more and more convinced that her arrival in the modern world must have something to do with Emperor Xia Yuan.

    Thinking that Emperor Xia Yuan might suffer somewhere she did not know, Xia Wanyuan could not help but worry.

    At this moment, in a farmer''s house in Continent F, Qiao Xu, who was disguised as a farmer and carrying a big hoe, entered the farmer''s house in a sh after observing that there were no people following him.

    "Doctor Qiao." A middle-aged man nodded at Qiao Xu.

    "How''s he doing?"

    "He''s still the same." The middle-aged man led Qiao Xu in. "Watch here. I''ll go out and guard the area."

    "Okay."

    Qiao Xu walked into the basement. On the wooden bed insidey Xia Wei.

    Back then, Qiao Xu was only focused on helping Su Yao save Xia Wei and did not have time to look at this person seriously.

    Now, he carefully sized up Xia Wei. "Tsk tsk, he''s indeed a gigolo. And a strangely elegant gigolo."

    Even though Xia Wei was only lying quietly on the bed, he had a noble temperament that was different from ordinary people. It was as if he had been in a high position for a long time and had the ssical elegance that came from his bones.

    Qiao Xu took out the medical kit and did aprehensive examination for Xia Wei.

    The more he probed, the stranger he looked at Xia Wei.

    Xia Wei''s health was very bad, so bad that it was as if he was only hanging on to his life. However, strangely, Xia Wei could hang by hisst breath for quite long. Even if he did not provide Xia Wei with any food for three days, there would not be any problems with Xia Wei''s health.<novelnext></novelnext>

    It was too strange. Qiao Xu even felt that Xia Wei was like a living specimen that would not age or rot. He would always be like that.

    The temperature outside was clearly very high, but Qiao Xu shivered out of nowhere. He warmed Xia Wei''s body and prepared to leave with the medical kit.

    At this moment, he suddenly sensed something unusual outside. He quietly approached the floor and listened to themotion outside.

    At this moment, red blood seeped down from the floor and dripped onto Qiao Xu''s face. His expression instantly turned serious and he held his breath.

    This basement was specially built and was quite hidden. The people above probably searched around and could not find anything. They destroyed the things in the house in exasperation before leaving.

    Qiao Xu waited quietly until night fell. Then, he quietly opened the tunnel door and prepared to go out and talk about the situation.

    The moment he climbed up, a gun was pressed against his head.

    "Come out," the other party ordered Qiao Xu.

    Qiao Xu swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to climb up, he suddenly took out a handful of poisonous powder from his pocket and scattered it in the air. The enemy''s eyes were instantly corroded. Taking advantage of this gap, Qiao Xu rolled to the side.

    However, he still underestimated the number of people opposite him. Although a group had fallen, more people surged over from all directions and tied him up.

    Seeing this group of people enter the basement, Qiao Xu wailed in his heart. "It''s over, Little Wuyou, I''ve let you down. This matter has been ruined."

    However, to his surprise, Xia Wei was not brought out by them.

    Because Xia Wei was missing.

    Looking at the empty basement, Qiao Xu was stunned. F*ck, wasn''t he here just now??

 Chapter 1418 Arrest

    The enemy aimed the gun at Qiao Xu. "Tell me, where is he?"

    Qiao Xu was also very stunned. He and the farmer had personally dug out this secret passage. There was only one passageway, which was the ce he had juste out of. Other than that, there were no other passageways.

    However, there was no one in the secret passage. Could he evaporate? It was really strange.

    Qiao Xu waved his hand. "I don''t know either."

    The enemy was about to finish him off on the spot when the gun was aimed at his temple. Qiao Xu closed his eyes tightly. "It''s over. I''ve really lost myself this time."

    However, to his surprise, the gunshots did note. There was only the sound of a group of people putting away their guns. Qiao Xu opened his eyes and took a look. His heart instantly sank.

    Good lord, I might as well be killed with a shot. Standing in front of him was Chu Yi''s assistant butler. When Qiao Xu thought of facing that lunatic Chu Yi, he immediately wanted to faint.

    An hourter, Qiao Xu was brought to Chu Yi.

    This was the first time Qiao Xu had seen Chu Yi face-to-face. Sensing the ambition and restrained and powerful aura in this man''s eyes, Qiao Xu gasped.

    He had known in the past that Feng Wuyou was bold, but he did not expect her to be so bold as to provoke such a man. She really did not want her life.

    Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and quietly sized up Qiao Xu. He could feel that although Qiao Xu had never seen him before, he was very familiar with him.

    "You were the one who operated on Feng Wuyou?" Chu Yi suddenly said, scaring Qiao Xu.

    "Who''s Feng Wuyou?" Qiao Xu asked in confusion, his eyes nk. "What surgery? I do many surgeries every day. You have to be more specific."

    Looking at Qiao Xu''s innocent expression, Chu Yi did not waste his breath on him and called the butler over. "Lock this person up with Su Yao and cut off Su Yao''s medicine and doctor."

    "Yes."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Qiao Xu was carried out. He lowered his head and rolled his eyes. F*ck, what a pervert!

    After Qiao Xu left, Chu Yi gathered the people he had sent. "Have you found him?"

    Everyone shook their heads. "We''ve searched that tunnel, but there''s nothing inside. Could it be that we really caught the wrong person?"

    Chu Yi pondered for a moment. "Pay attention to Jun Shiling."

    "Yes."

    However, Jun Shiling was also in a predicament.

    ording to the news from ahead, the clues about Xia Wei were cut off tonight. Not only could Chu Yi not find this person who had disappeared into thin air, but the people Jun Shiling had sent out could not find him as well.

    Jun Shiling quietly calcted the people who might take Xia Wei away, but no matter how he calcted, he felt that something was wrong.

    Just as he was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes and walked in. "Daddy, Brother is awake. Brother wants to look for you."

    Jun Shiling turned off hisputer and walked to the room beside him. Little Jiajin smiled at Jun Shiling and called out vaguely, "Daddy."

    Warmth appeared in Jun Shiling''s eyes as he picked Little Jiajin up. Little Jiajin was usually very mischievous, but he was very obedient in Jun Shiling''s arms.

    Jun Shiling gently patted his back. After he fell asleep, he returned to the study.

    At this moment, two emails had just been sent on theputer.

    The first was about the jade cauldron. ording to global data, the remaining two jade cauldrons were in the hands of the Blue family and Chu Yi.

 Chapter 1419 Merit

    Seeing these two ces, even the calm Jun Shiling could not help but frown.

    Now, in this world, the two families were probably the most difficult to resolve. The jade cauldron was in their hands, and it was as difficult as ascending to the sky to take it back.

    Just as Jun Shiling was worried about these two families, the phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling looked at the caller.

    It was Bo Xiao.

    Jun Shiling picked up the phone and rxed a little. Just as he was about to chat with Bo Xiao, Bo Xiao''s anxious voice came. "Something happened."

    Jun Shiling frowned. "Tell me."

    "An unknown and extremely infectious illness has appeared in the southwest base. It has already spread."

    Jun Shiling''s heart sank. "What did Shen Xiu say?"

    "There''s nothing he can do. I''ve already gotten someone to seal this ce, but it''s hard to guarantee that there won''t be anyone who escapes. You have to report to your superiors first and be prepared as soon as possible."

    "Okay."

    After hanging up, Jun Shiling put on his clothes and left in a hurry. Xia Wanyuan walked out of the baby''s room and bumped into Jun Shiling.

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that something bad had happened. "Did something happen?"

    "Mm." Jun Shiling nodded. "Rest first. I''m going out."

    Jun Shiling did not return the entire night.

    At this moment, inexplicable panicy dormant around everyone in the southwest. Shen Xiu shuttled between the wards with a solemn expression.

    "How''s the situation?" Bo Xiao strode over. "I''ve already gotten someone to get the medicine. How long can the medicinest?"

    Shen Xiu shook his head. "We have to capture the few people who escaped. Otherwise, if they escape everywhere, the consequences will be unimaginable."

    "I''ve already arranged it."

    "There might be something wrong with the medicine sent by the manager." Shen Xiu deliberated for a moment and finally said his guess.

    Bo Xiao frowned. "Haven''t those medicines been tested?"

    Because of therge-scale outbreak of the illness recently, the entire base was very short of medicine. Under such circumstances, a doctor suggested using the batch of medicine sent by the manager.

    Their reason was that since the manager dared to send the medicine over openly, he definitely did not dare to do anything. In addition, a doctor tested the medicine himself and proved that there was nothing wrong with the medicine before giving it to the patient.

    Bo Xiao had also checked in depth and signed the agreement after confirming that there was no problem.

    However, now, looking at Shen Xiu''s expression, Bo Xiao''s heart sank.

    "Actually, I''m not sure either." Shen Xiu''s expression was solemn. "I got someone to test that medicine. There are indeed no prohibited ingredients, but what I''m worried about is what if this illness happens to be induced by some normal medicine?"

    Bo Xiao and Shen Xiu looked at each other and saw worry in each other''s eyes.

    "I''ll personally look for those who escaped. Stay here." Bo Xiao handed the control of the base to Shen Xiu.

    "Okay."

    At this moment, in Linxi City, Lin Qingyuan had already returned to the Lin family''s mansion. The butler weed him. "Master, the person Young Master Chu sent is already waiting in the living room."

    Lin Qingyuan nodded and strode into the living room.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Seeing Lin Qingyuan walk over, the people sitting in the living room stood up and greeted him. "Master Lin, we were entrusted by Young Master to give this to you."

    Lin Qingyuan took it and took a look. Then, he nodded in satisfaction. "Reply to your young master for me. I received it. When the money is transferred, I''ll give everything to you."

    "Okay."

    The guest gradually left. Lin Qingyuan opened the document in his hand. Inside were two USB drives containing top-secret documents. Lin Qingyuan gathered his trusted subordinates.

    The next morning, the few medical factories owned by the Lin family began to continuously produce a new medicine.

    In the southwest, Bo Xiao, who had been searching for a day and night, finally brought the three of them back to the base.

    Although he had captured them, Bo Xiao did not look happy at all because these three people had long left the southwest region. Bo Xiao had caught them in the downtown area.

    He pushed the three of them towards Shen Xiu. "I''ll leave these few people to you. You must develop a solution as soon as possible."

    At this moment, in the open sea of Continent F, a huge ship was docked in the vast sea.

    The three red wine sses clinked. Some of the red wine spilled over the brim of the ss. Sea Shark was the first to put away the wine ss and nod at Yu Qian.

    "I have good news for you."

    Yu Qian took a sip of wine. "I already know."

    "Sigh." Sea Shark shook his head. "That''s not what I''m talking about. Do you know why Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling have been so enthusiastic about digging ancient tombs recently?"

    Chu Yi''s hand that was holding the wine ss paused. He looked at Sea Shark. "Continue."

    "The legend is true. If you reach a certain condition, you can change time and space and change the world." Sea Shark Disease did not understand China''s culture and had not paid attention to these things before, so he did not know that the two people sitting in front of him had already figured things out.

    Chu Yi and Yu Qian looked at each other and retracted their gazes.

    Chu Yi pretended to mention unintentionally, "You''re fooling me. How do you know? You''re not Chinese."

    "When our people salvaged the sunken ship, we dug up an ancient ship. There were records on it in the ancient scroll. I got someone to trante it for me."

    Chu Yi''s eyes flickered. "Where''s the ship?"

    Sea Shark grinned. "Then can I tell you, Young Master Chu? We''re all businessmen."

    Chu Yi smiled and leaned back in his chair. "There are many so-called myths and legends in Chinese novels. I''ll introduce a few to you next time."

    Yu Qian had been silent at the side. Chu Yi looked at him twice and could not guess what Yu Qian was thinking.

    At this moment, Sea Shark seemed to have lost his grip on the wine ss. The ss fell to the ground with a crisp bang.

    Yu Qian turned to look at the shards of the ss and suddenly jumped up. He took out a gun from his pocket and fired two shots at Sea Shark before jumping into the sea.

    However, this time, Sea Shark and Chu Yi were determined to press Yu Qian to death here. Arge number of people were hiding in the sea.

    No matter how ruthless Yu Qian was, he could not resist the sudden appearance of two to three hundred armed people in the sea.

    Yu Qian was brought to the deck. Seeing Jayce standing behind Chu Yi, Yu Qian''s eyes were cold. "It''s you."

    He had never trusted Sea Shark and Chu Yi. Every time he came, he would bring arge number of security personnel. However, this time, the security failed. Thinking about it, only Jayce had the right to transfer his protection personnel away.

    Jayce looked at Yu Qian hatefully. "You''re no longer the K from back then. You''re not worthy of being my boss now."

 Chapter 1420 - 1420 Brotherâ€™s Death

    1420 Brother¡¯s Death

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°A disloyal dog.¡±

    Jayce sneered. ¡°Yu Qian, when I followed you back then, I didn¡¯t think much of your unpredictable temper. You¡¯re ruthless. As long as you can make me seed, I¡¯ve neverined. But now??¡±

    Although Yu Qian had been injected with a tranquilizer and was powerless, his back was very straight and his face was as calm as ever. ¡°How are you now?¡±

    ¡°You could clearly take advantage of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s illness to enter, but in the end, for Wei Zimu, you gave the antidote to Jun Shiling. Because of Wei Zimu, you cut off one of my arms. The underground alliance needs a new master and doesn¡¯t need you anymore.¡± Jayce looked at Yu Qian fiercely and wantonly vented his dissatisfaction over the past few days.

    !!

    Yu Qian looked at him indifferently and did not speak.

    Chu Yi gave a look and got someone to bring Jayce down.

    Sea Shark walked up to Yu Qian and looked at him smugly. ¡°CEO Yu, can we discuss the conditions now?¡±

    ¡°You want the vine?¡± Yu Qian looked at Sea Shark calmly.

    ¡°Smart.¡± Sea Shark pped. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s always easy to talk to Young Master Yu. Hand over the vine and I¡¯ll let you go.¡±

    A smile appeared on Yu Qian¡¯s face, but this smile only stopped at the corners of his lips. ¡°Let me go?? Do you dare?¡±

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s faint smile, Sea Shark was stunned. Yu Qian was right. I do not dare.

    Yu Qian was too sinister. This time, he could only keep him because of his trusted aide. If he was really released, it was no different from letting the tiger return to the mountain.

    ¡°So what if I don¡¯t dare?? Don¡¯t you still have your life? I don¡¯t believe you¡¯re willing to give up the huge underground kingdom you personally managed. Choose the vine or life.¡±

    Yu Qian did not speak. He lowered his head slightly and his lips moved.

    Chu Yi watched Yu Qian¡¯s strange actions from the side and frowned slightly. Something seemed wrong.

    After a while, Yu Qian looked up and smiled strangely at Sea Shark. ¡°Take your life or mine?¡±

    Sea Shark was about to say something when Chu Yi instantly stood up, took the gun, and pointed it northwest. The next second, gunshots sounded, and a person rolled down from the northwest.

    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s a trap!!¡± Sea Shark shouted and retreated. The bodyguards behind him stood up and formed a circle to protect him.

    The people from both sides began an intense battle. Seeing that Sea Shark was about to run out, Chu Yi took the gun and aimed it at Yu Qian.

    I can¡¯t leave him behind.

    The moment Chu Yi moved his finger, Yu Qian, who had been injected with tranquilizers, suddenly reached out, wanting to pull the person beside him over to block the gun for him.

    However, before he could pull him over, a figure rushed over.

    When he saw the person in front of him clearly, Yu Qian¡¯s expression changed drastically. He threw the person beside him away and caught Wei Zimu, who had fallen.

    Unable to hit Yu Qian, Chu Yi raised his gun and prepared to fire again. However, Yu Qian¡¯s reinforcements had already arrived. Chu Yi looked around. If he did not leave now, he would probably be left behind. He threw down his gun and jumped into the sea, entering the ship that came to receive him.

    Chu Yi was using arge bullet. Wei Zimu¡¯s wound was very terrifying, and arge area had burst open. Blood drenched Chu Yi¡¯s clothes.

    Yu Qian picked Wei Zimu up. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the base.¡±

    He was very confident in his medical skills. To him, as long as he was alive, he could pull him out of the gates of hell.

    Wei Zimu wanted to say something, but blood kept spewing out of his mouth.

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Idiot, who asked you to block the bullet for me?¡±

    Yu Qian brought people back to the base as quickly as possible and ced Wei Zimu on the experiment table. Yu Qian cleaned his wound and was about to operate when Wei Zimu grabbed his wrist.

    At this moment, Wei Zimu knew his health very well. He tightened his grip on Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian, who had always hated contact, did not shake off Wei Zimu. He looked at Wei Zimu. ¡°Do you have something to tell me?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Wei Zimu nodded almost imperceptibly.

    Yu Qian applied an emergency medicine to Wei Zimu and stabilized him. Then, he followed Wei Zimu¡¯s actions and sat at the side. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Wei Zimu tried his best to squeeze out these two words. He swallowed the blood that kept rising in his throat and said, ¡°Take good care of yourself. I¡¯ve been looking for you and missing you.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was calm. He lowered his eyes and did not show any abnormalities. ¡°Noisy.¡±

    Wei Zimu did not respond to him. Yu Qian looked up impatiently, but when he saw Wei Zimu vomit blood, he panicked.

    He quickly activated the device and prepared to examine Wei Zimu. However, when he saw Wei Zimu¡¯s physical data, his eyes instantly cracked.

    At some point in time, so much poison had umted in Wei Zimu¡¯s body.

    He thought of Wei Zimu¡¯s abnormal behavior in the past few days and thought that Jayce must have done it.

    He had been busy with theboratory and had not paid attention to the base during this time. Jayce had actually taken advantage of this.

    Knowing that Yu Qian¡¯s medical skills were superb, there was no solution to the poison Sea Shark had given Wei Zimu. Furthermore, the effect of this medicine doubled when the patient bled profusely.

    Now, there was already aplete blood copse in Wei Zimu¡¯s body.

    Yu Qian took the scalpel to stop Wei Zimu¡¯s bleeding, but that was too much. It drowned his scalpel, preventing him from seeing any blood vessels.

    Time passed bit by bit. Yu Qian had been busy in front of the experiment table.

    Not far away, a few doctors looked at Yu Qian¡¯s actions with fear in their eyes. They looked at each other and felt a chill run down their spines.

    This was because the ECG device connected to Wei Zimu had no reaction three hours ago.

    Three hours ago, Wei Zimu had died.

    However, Yu Qian¡¯s expression was calm as he performed the surgery in an orderly manner. The entireboratory ground was already filled with bright red.

    The doctors felt their entire bodies tremble, afraid that Yu Qian would use a scalpel to end them here if he was unhappy.

    At this moment, Yu Qian, who had been silent, suddenly said, ¡°Go out.¡±

    Everyone scrambled out and closed theboratory door.

    No one knew what had happened in theboratory. Everyone only knew that an entire day had passed when Yu Qian came out again.

    Everyone knew that Wei Zimu was Yu Qian¡¯s brother. Everyone thought that Wei Zimu¡¯s death would cause a huge blow to Yu Qian.

    However, Yu Qian¡¯s expression was calm as usual, as if nothing had happened.

    As he walked, he took off his gloves. ¡°No one is allowed in theboratory without my permission.¡±

 Chapter 1421 Escorting Medicine

    "Yes." The subordinate looked at Yu Qian carefully. "Boss, Mr. Wei''s corpse..."

    Before he could finish speaking, Yu Qian looked over coldly, scaring him so much that he instantly swallowed his words.

    "Other than Jayce betraying us, nothing happened in the base, understand?"

    The subordinate hurriedly nodded. "I understand, I understand."

    Sea Shark was the overlord of the global sea route. Chu Yi and Yu Qian were even powerful figures in Continent F. The battle between the few of them had a huge impact on the entire world.

    When the news spread to China, Jun Shiling could finally confirm Yu Qian''s identity.

    "K?" Xia Wanyuan turned around in confusion. "How can you confirm that he''s K?"

    "Continent F is K''s headquarters. Other than him, there''s no one else who can make Chu Yi spend so much effort to n this." Jun Shiling''s expression darkened. "No wonder this Yu Qian gives me such a strange feeling."

    "So, Wei Zimu is K''s brother?" This was Xia Wanyuan''s first thought. "I''ve guessed this, but I''m not sure."

    After all, Wei Zimu had grown up in the sunlight. Every time she looked at Wei Zimu, Xia Wanyuan could not associate him with the infamous K.

    "Didn''t you sayst time that you were going to America?" Jun Shiling suddenly changed the topic. "Don''t go. I''m going over there. Tell me if you need me to do anything."

    "It''s mainly the Blue family." A hint of worry shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "How can I get that jade cauldron back?"

    The jade cauldron was the key to the so-called time and space conversion legend. Only by gathering nine jade cauldrons could she find the answer to her arrival.

    "I''ll think of a way." Jun Shiling stood up. "Things are more urgent. I''ll set off now. Take good care of yourself."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan stood up and hugged Jun Shiling. "I know. I will."

    Soon, Jun Shiling''s back hurriedly disappeared into the night.

    It was alreadyte autumn, and an autumn rain seemed to be brewing. Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window quietly, feeling as if a rock was pressing on her heart. It was a little dull, and she kept feeling that something was about to happen.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the night and was in a daze for a while. Only when Little Xiaxia waved her arms at Xia Wanyuan did Xia Wanyuan stand up to hug her.

    "Mommy." Little Xiaxia had just learned to speak recently and kept acting coquettishly at Xia Wanyuan. "Mommy, Mommy."

    A hint of gentleness appeared in Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. She lowered her head and kissed Little Xiaxia on the cheek.

    Perhaps this world was very chaotic, but looking at the child''s innocent and clear eyes, Xia Wanyuan''s frustrated thoughts were all smoothed out. As long as they were still around, there was still hope.

    After knowing that Bo Xiao needed medicine, Xia Wanyuan got Shen Qian to buy arge number of medicine and send them to the southwest.

    The convoy was huge and the situation was urgent. The people they recruited were also moreplicated.

    On the way to the southwest with the medicine, a staff member had a conflict with ordinary tourists.

    It was originally just a simple argument, but when the staff said that he was working for Xia Wanyuan, it triggered everyone''s anger.

    Because this was a passenger ne, and 60% of the seats on the ne were filled with goods.

    The tourists were already a little dissatisfied. After the staff announced so arrogantly, they were instantly angered.

 Chapter 1422 Focus

    These tourists might have a good impression of Xia Wanyuan usually, but when it came to their personal interests, they ced all their cores on themselves.

    Some rude passengers ignored the journey and caused a scene in the cabin. The crew could not persuade them and could only return the way they came in the end. The entire flight was dyed because of this.

    With the tourists taking the lead to cause trouble and others instigating it, the entire airport hall was congested. The tourists blocked the airport and did not let everyone leave.

    "Come, everyone, let''s see how amazing capitalists are. They actually used a passenger ne to send goods. So our living people can''tpare to a box??"

    "I was still thinking of going to the south to do business early, but in the end, the airline told me that there were no empty seats. I really believed it. From the looks of it, it''s all an excuse you came up with. You clearly took out your seats and gave them to Xia Wanyuan. This is too much!! You have to give us an exnation for this."

    The matter became bigger and bigger. That night, some tourists even slept in the airport with tents, asking the airport and Xia Wanyuan to give them an exnation.

    Now, any news rted to Xia Wanyuan would cause widespread discussion. Such a thing quickly swept through the social media circle.

    "The Inte said that because Xia Wanyuan used her power to upy public resources, the entire Beijing airport is in chaos. What do you think?"

    The marketing ounts posted this news mainly to use Xia Wanyuan''s poprity to fight for a wave of traffic for themselves. No one expected that theizens on Weibo were no longer as gullible as before.

    [ What can I think? I''ll look at itter. You really like Xia Wanyuan. I feel that those eyes are staring at her all the time. Amazing. ]<novelnext></novelnext>

    [ To be honest, Xia Wanyuan has contributed much more to the country than you marketing ounts who only know how to gossip. What right do you have to say that she''s a capitalist here?? Have you reached the tax requirements? ]

    [ Xia Wanyuan is so busy. Does everything need to have her name on it??? Besides, it''s not like Xia Wanyuan didn''t pay. As long as those people didn''t buy tickets first and were squeezed out by her, I don''t think there''s a problem. ]

    The person hiding behind the marketing ounts did not expect that even theizens who were most easily led had be such loyal fans of Xia Wanyuan.

    However, the public opinion storm targeting Xia Wanyuan was not so easy to calm down.

    Soon, all the major marketing ounts posted a donation form for celebrities in the entertainment industry in the past two years.

    "Xia Wanyuan is such a rich person. Why hasn''t she appeared in any public service activities in the past two years? Good lord, a painting on Weibo is worth millions. She said that she wanted to donate it, but in the end?? I''ve never seen her donation in any foundation. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Capitalists really know how to earn money."

    The fans originally wanted to retort, but when everyone flipped through the announcements of domestic charitable organizations in the past two years, Xia Wanyuan''s name did not appear.

    Instantly, disputes arose. The topic of where Xia Wanyuan''s painting and calligraphy had gone was extremely popr online.

    In China, Xia Wanyuan was the center of attention. At this moment, overseas, Jun Shiling had also be the focus of heated discussion in America.

 Chapter 1423 - 1423 Cooperation

    1423 Cooperation

    Although China and foreign countries had a solid cultural barrier, they had a deep economic connection. Someone like Jun Shiling, who could almost be considered to control the lifeline of the global economy, was the focus of foreign people.

    This time, the first thing Jun Shiling did when he arrived in America was to go to the Blue family. This action instantly made everyone guess.

    The Blue family had experienced the family turmoil and had a close rtionship with the Chu family. Now that they had contacted Jun Shiling, everyone could not help but guess if the Jun family wanted to contact the Chu family through the Blue family as an intermediary.?

    At this moment, in the Blue family, Lin Man looked at Jun Shiling and nodded in approval. She thought to herself that he was indeed the man Li Na wanted to marry even if she had to risk her life.

    !!

    ¡°CEO Jun, it¡¯s our honor to have you here.¡± Lin Man smiled at Jun Shiling and gave Li Na a look.

    Jun Shiling took the tea and took a symbolic sip. ¡°I¡¯ll be direct. I came today mainly to talk to Master Lin about the cooperation.¡±

    Lin Man¡¯s eyes revealed obvious surprise. ¡°Cooperation? CEO Jun, what do you mean?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the others at the side. Lin Man immediately understood and sent her subordinates away.

    An hourter, Jun Shiling walked out of the meeting room. Lin Man¡¯s assistants hurriedly walked in. ¡°Master, what cooperation does CEO Jun want to discuss with us?¡±

    Lin Man was not good at business and management, but she would recruit the best think tank in the world to do things for her.

    Usually, be it thepany or the family¡¯s matters, Lin Man would always rely on her military advisers to help here up with ideas. However, at this moment, facing everyone¡¯s questions, Lin Man kept quiet.

    She waved her hand. ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about these things. Go and do your own things.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Everyone looked at each other and looked at Lin Man worriedly. ¡°Master, forgive us for being blunt, but that person is Jun Shiling. Don¡¯t fall into his trap.¡±

    Lin Man hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Jun Shiling¡¯s words just now, she pped the table angrily. ¡°Do I need you to criticize me as the head of the family? Get out!¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± No matter how much things everyone wanted to say in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything else and could only sigh and leave the meeting room.

    After everyone left, thinking of Jun Shiling¡¯s promise to her, Lin Man smiled and fiddled with her bright red nails.

    So what if he was the richest man in the world? Didn¡¯t he still have to beg me now??

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the southwest of China, the medicine from Beijing had gradually arrived, but the pressure in the entire base was very low.

    Because in the past two days, simr symptoms had spread from other ces one after another.

    Shen Xiu had brought people to the city where the illness had appeared and had not returned yet. Bo Xiao stood in front of the mobile ward with a cold expression.

    After being a soldier for so many years, he felt that something was unusual this time. The enemy this time was invisible and untouchable, but it was much more difficult to deal with than all the enemies he had encountered in the past.

    Just as he was deep in thought, amotion suddenly came from outside. Bo Xiao pulled his thoughts away and called someone over to ask.

    ¡°What happened outside?¡±

    ¡°Sir, the manager is here.¡± The subordinate did not know the exact situation. ¡°He doesn¡¯t seem to have good intentions. Go out and take a look.¡±

    However, once Bo Xiao went out, he was immediately detained.

 Chapter 1424 - 1424 Outburst

    1424 Outburst

    Bo Xiao was not prepared and there were many people on the other side. He was quickly subdued. ¡°What are you doing??¡±

    Thest time he came, he was still a respectful manager. Now, when he faced Bo Xiao, his attitude was arrogant. ¡°Bo Xiao, you secretly colluded with foreign enemies and gave the problematic medicine to our soldiers. You¡¯ve already been deprived of all your power. Wait for the judgment from above.¡±

    With that, the manager got someone to take Bo Xiao away.

    Not long after these people left, Shen Xiu returned with them.

    The team member immediately went forward and told Shen Xiu that Bo Xiao had been taken away. Shen Xiu frowned. ¡°Bo Xiao¡¯s level is so high now. What right do they have to take Bo Xiao away?¡±

    ¡°I heard that Lin Qingyuan is standing behind the manager. What should we do now?¡±

    Shen Xiu waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll go back to Beijing first. Stay here.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    When Shen Xiu returned to Beijing, he wanted to discuss it with Jun Shiling, but it was to no avail. Jun Shiling was not in Beijing, so he could only tell Xia Wanyuan everything.

    After hearing Shen Xiu¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression was solemn. At this critical juncture, Bo Xiao had been caught. There must be another problem behind the matter.

    ¡°You should return to the southwest. I¡¯ll go with you and bring Bo Xiao out first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    That night, Xia Wanyuan brought Shen Xiu to the southwest.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Madam Jun?¡± The manager sized Xia Wanyuan up. ¡°As expected, seeing is believing. Madam Jun is so beautiful.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m taking Bo Xiao away.¡± Xia Wanyuan directly revealed her intentions.

    The manager grinned. ¡°Mrs. Jun, I know your husband is powerful, but he¡¯s still in China. Bo Xiao is not under your control.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight at the manager. ¡°What crime did hemit?¡±

    ¡°Coborating with the enemy and not guarding them well.¡±

    ¡°Evidence?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all here. Take a look,¡± the manager said and got his subordinate to submit some dossiers.

    Xia Wanyuan flipped through it. ¡°I have some evidence for you too.¡±

    With that, Shen Xiu, who was behind her, sent a pile of documents to the manager.

    The manager flipped through it and his expression changed slightly. ¡°Mrs. Jun, what do you mean? Don¡¯t tell me you think you can threaten me with these groundless fake evidence?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and left. ¡°Since you think it¡¯s groundless, then it¡¯s groundless.¡±

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was about to step out of the door, the manager finally could not sit still. He stood up. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let Bo Xiao go, but we have to go through the procedure. Mrs. Jun, wait a moment.¡±

    Only then did Xia Wanyuan stop.

    After being caught, the manager quickly brought Bo Xiao out.

    ¡°Mrs. Jun, I¡¯ve handed this person to you. Then those things?¡±

    ¡°What things?¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the manager. ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. This way, please,¡± the manager said and led her out.

    The moment he left the door, Bo Xiao walked towards Xia Wanyuan. ¡°The matter is bigger than I imagined. An unknown virus has already spread in the southwest. Be careful and get Shen Xiu to prepare protective clothing for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°It¡¯s that serious?¡±

    ¡°Mm, it has something to do with the managers and the rest. We can¡¯t rely on their strength.¡±

    However, the development of the matter was faster than Bo Xiao had expected.

    On the way back to the base, Bo Xiao received a call.

    In thergest city in the southwest, an unknown illness erupted.

    At this moment, in Continent F, Chu Yi looked at the world map in front of him, picked up a pen, and gently drew a cross on it.

    ¡°Young Master, that Qiao Xu still didn¡¯t save Miss Su. Miss Su is already critically ill. Aren¡¯t we going to let the doctor in?¡±

 Chapter 1425 Outburst

    Chu Yi paused in his actions. "Where is he?"

    "He''s been in the room," the subordinate replied respectfully.

    Chu Yi threw the pen aside and stood up to walk towards the backyard.

    At this moment, in the backyard bedroom, Su Yao had already entered aa. After not treating her wound for so many days, it had already begun to fester and inme.

    Qiao Xu nced at Su Yao. He could not bear it and wanted to step forward, but he hesitated.

    If he went over, others would definitely see that he and Su Yao knew each other. This was equivalent to admitting that Su Yao was rted to stealing that patient.

    Qiao Xu watched from afar and clenched his fists. However, if he did not save her, Su Yao would die.

    At that moment, footsteps came from outside. Qiao Xuy on the chair and sat quietly.

    Not long after, Chu Yi walked in. He nced at Qiao Xu. "You''re not going to save her?"

    Qiao Xu sneered. "Why should I save your woman?"

    Chu Yi walked up to Qiao Xu and leaned over to whisper into his ear, "Do you think that if I can destroy her entire family once, I won''t kill her a second time?"

    Qiao Xu turned to look at Chu Yi. After a while, he finally said, "You''re really a lunatic."

    Chu Yi stood up. "The doctor said that she has experienced a blood transnt surgery. You know her condition the best. Treat her. If she can''t be treated, go and see the Feng family together."

    Qiao Xu gritted his teeth and finally stood up. "Prepare surgical tools for me."

    Chu Yi gestured for the butler to bring the tools up. Qiao Xu began to operate on Su Yao. Chu Yi sat not far away and watched quietly. The butler went forward to persuade Chu Yi to leave. He waved his hand. "You guys can leave."

    Qiao Xu knew Su Yao''s condition the best. Su Yao''s health was even worse than thest time he took over. Qiao Xu shook his head and sighed in his heart.

    It was not until the sun set that Qiao Xu finally stopped what he was doing.

    He wiped the sweat off his face and walked to Chu Yi. "You''re really her ill-fated love. Her body canst a few more years at most. Are you satisfied now?"

    Chu Yi frowned. "What do you mean?"

    "What do I mean?" Qiao Xu looked at Chu Yi in disdain. "Since you already know, I might as well tell you. When you overthrew the Feng family back then, she had just been diagnosed as three months pregnant and was too sad. After losing the child, her health was already bad. During this period of time, she has been following you, blocked a gun, and was beaten up. Do you understand the words sucked out every inch of life from her?"

    Chu Yi frowned even more. "You''re talking nonsense."

    Feng Wuyou was such a tenacious person. How could she have every inch of her life sucked out from her?

    Qiao Xu sneered and clenched his fists in his sleeves. "Then take it that I''m talking nonsense."

    With that, Qiao Xu walked out of the room.

    Chu Yi stood rooted to the ground and hesitated for a long time before asking the butler to bring the expert group over.

    The conclusion given by the expert group was the same as what Qiao Xu had said. Chu Yi''s expression was cold. "All of you, go down."

    "Yes."

    After everyone left, Chu Yi walked to the bed and looked at Su Yao for a long time. Finally, he said, "You want to die? Impossible."

    Chu Yi stayed in Su Yao''s room for a long time before walking out. He got someone to bring Qiao Xu over.

    Qiao Xu knew why Chu Yi was looking for him. "I''m already in jail. Do you think I still know where that person is? You overestimate me."

    "Didn''t you dig the tunnel?" Chu Yi looked down at Qiao Xu.

    "If you don''t believe me, kill me. Anyway, I don''t know where that person went." Qiao Xu looked like he didn''t care about Chu Yi at all.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Chu Yi stared at him for a long time before finally waving his hand. "Lock him up and let him be in charge of treating Su Yao."

    "Yes."

    At this moment, almost everyone was looking for Xia Wei. However, Xia Wei seemed to have disappeared into thin air, disappearing from the world.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In the southwest, Bo Xiao had already returned to the base. The situation at the base was even worse than when he had just left.

    Bo Xiao originally wanted Xia Wanyuan to leave directly, but she insisted on following him.

    Half of the patients with ordinary symptoms had already be seriously ill. Bo Xiao had been in Continent F for a long time and knew very well that such a rapid change to serious illness could sufficiently prove the seriousness of this illness.

    "How long has it been since we discovered it?" Xia Wanyuan listened to the patient''s wails from afar and could not bear it.

    "About half a month," Bo Xiao said as he gestured for his subordinate to bring the statistics over.

    "Sir, there aren''t any extra medicines recently. They''ve all been intercepted and can''t be sent in." The subordinate handed the statistics form to Bo Xiao and reported the situation.

    "Lin Qingyuan is standing behind the management here. They did it on purpose." Bo Xiao looked at Xia Wanyuan.

    "I''ve already gotten Shen Qian to send the medicine over overnight." Xia Wanyuan turned around and walked out. "Do you and Shen Xiu predict that the illness will erupt on arge scale this time?"

    Bo Xiao was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he replied, "Yes."

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. "I''ll convey your words."

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan left the southwest and returned to Beijing. She came out in a hurry and did not take a private ne when she returned, so she was recognized the moment she entered the airport.

    "Xia Wanyuan, you''re so rich. Why don''t you use your private ne to transport things? Do you know how many people you''ve dyed?"

    "Xia Wanyuan, do you know that your subordinate is especially arrogant? What do you think??"

    Xia Wanyuan took off her sunsses and looked at the person standing in front of her. Everyone was frightened by her aura and finally chose to take a step back.

    "It was an emergency, so I requisitioned the cabin." Xia Wanyuan exined patiently. "The airline will exin the details to you."

    With that, Xia Wanyuan walked straight forward. Everyone wanted to stop her and continue asking, but Xia Wanyuan was in a hurry, so her aura was fully released. Everyone took a step forward and retreated three steps in fear.

    Xia Wanyuan left the airport just like that.

    The matter of Xia Wanyuan being surrounded at the airport was quickly spread to social media.

    The reporters did not obtain any valuable news from Xia Wanyuan, so they were naturally unconvinced. Hence, when they wrote the relevant news, the title they used was misleading. "Xia Wanyuan Airport''s strong response: It''s an emergency. If you have any questions, look for the airline."

    [ Rich people speak unyieldingly¡­ They can requisition it whenever they want. You make it sound like the airline is run by her family. ]

    [ The person in front, don''t be so arbitrary. How do you know that Xia Wanyuan''s shares aren''t in the airline?? She''s not just rich. She''s simply rich to the point of heaven. Isn''t it simple to buy an airline? ]

    [ The person in front, what you said is wrong. If she''s really rich, then buy a ne to transport the goods yourself. Why would she use public resources? I''m speechless. It''s really a privileged society. ]

    Xia Wanyuan was too popr. Just as everyone was about to argue again, another trending topic instantly attracted everyone''s attention.

    "I heard from my rtives who work there¡­"

    Seeing this description, everyone was shocked. The marketing ounts took the opportunity to say a few preventable medicines¡­

    In the Lin family, Lin Qingyuan sat on a chair and watched the Lin family''s stock market value instantly soar by billions. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

    However, it was not just that¡­ The Lin family controlled thergest medical industry in China and earned a lot that day.

 Chapter 1426 Conspiracy

    Because of this sudden incident, everyone was in a panic. Everyone was afraid that they would fall sick and began to hoard arge amount.

    From the outside, this was just a rumor. However, in the eyes of some industry insiders, this was the opening of the Lin family''s profits.

    As the rumors became more and more serious, everyone became more and more panicked.

    At this moment, Bo Xiao appeared in the television station and became everyone''s focus needle.

    "Everyone, don''t worry. Our doctors are already doing their best to develop the medicine. There''s no need to panic."

    Bo Xiao was still very trustworthy in everyone''s eyes. Everyone''s panic temporarily subsided.

    The situation at the base seemed to be improving. Beijing Hospital sent an entire team of experts to support them, and there was an unprecedented breakthrough in the research of the virus.

    All sorts of panic calmed down, and everyone''s lives began to return to their previous calm.

    However, Xia Wanyuan was on guard. The Jun Corporation had a medical industry under them to begin with. Now, they were working overtime to produce arge number of medicine for Bo Xiao.

    In Continent F, Chu Yi was listening to his subordinate''s report when the butler rushed over and whispered a few words into Chu Yi''s ear. "Got it. Go down first. I''ll go outter."

    "Yes." The butler retreated respectfully.

    Chu Yi closed the document in his hand and gestured for his subordinate to leave. Then, he went to the backyard himself.

    "Young Master." Seeing Chu Yi walk over, the servant hurriedly bowed.

    "How''s she doing?"

    "Miss Su is already awake, but she won''t eat."

    Chu Yi nced at the bowl of porridge in the servant''s hand and reached out. "Give it to me."

    Taking the bowl of porridge, Chu Yi walked into the house.

    Su Yao had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, quietly looking out the window in a daze.

    Hearing footsteps, Su Yao looked up and retracted her gaze.

    Chu Yi walked over and scooped a spoonful of porridge for Su Yao. "Have a bite."

    Su Yao turned her head. "No."

    Chu Yi sat beside Su Yao and moved the spoon closer to her mouth. "Be good."

    Although Su Yao had been by Chu Yi''s side these few days, she could feel Chu Yi''s alienation from her. Her current tone actually made her feel like she had returned to the time in Beijing.

    At that time, she always liked to throw a tantrum. Chu Yi liked to speak to her in such a tone and coax her to eat.

    Su Yao looked at Chu Yi darkly and opened her mouth to take a bite.<novelnext></novelnext>

    When she bit into it, Su Yao realized that there was sugar and raisins in the in porridge this time. This was her former taste. Ever since she came to Chu Yi''s side, she had long changed her taste. Now, she did not eat sweet things.

    Su Yao''s heart was beating like a drum. She frowned and forced a smile. "Why is it so sweet?"

    Chu Yi lowered his head and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He only said calmly, "It''s delicious like that. You don''t like it?"

    Su Yao shook her head. "No, it''s quite delicious."

    "Oh," Chu Yi replied. Then, he reached out and wiped the porridge crumbs from Su Yao''s mouth before continuing to feed her spoonful by spoonful.

    Su Yao felt tasteless. asionally, she would look up at Chu Yi and see his thick eyshes.

    The servants in the bedroom had long retreated. Now, the entire room was very quiet. The sunlight passed through the window and quietly spread on their shoulders. For a moment, this scene was a rare warmth.

    Finally, after eating a bowl of porridge, Chu Yi put the bowl aside and handed a ss of water to Su Yao to take a sip.

    "Rest for a while. I still have something to do."

    Su Yao felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Chu Yi hadpletely confirmed my identity?

    Su Yao was nervous and subconsciously looked at Chu Yi a few more times.

    Sensing Su Yao''s gaze, Chu Yi turned around and a smile appeared on his face. "Why?? You can''t bear to leave me??"

    "..." Su Yao retracted her gaze. "No, I just want to ask you about my health."

    The smile on Chu Yi''s face widened. He lowered his head and ced it on Su Yao''s stomach. "Our baby is very healthy."

    Su Yao''s body trembled and her eyes shattered. She looked straight at Chu Yi. "What child??"

    Chu Yi smiled. "Our child. Alright, rest first."

    With that, Chu Yi stood up and walked out. However, after taking two steps, Chu Yi turned around. Looking at Su Yao''s almost broken expression, Chu Yi added, "I hired a doctor to help you recuperate. His name is Qiao Xu. If there''s anything wrong with the child in your stomach, I''ll hold him ountable."

    Su Yao''s expression changed slightly. She wanted to ask Chu Yi where he had locked Qiao Xu up, but Chu Yi had already walked away.

    Chu Yi left the Chu family and boarded a helicopter. After a long time, he arrived at a ship at the port. Sea Shark was waiting for him on the deck.

    "Young Master Chu, it''s so difficult to invite you. You made me wait." Sea Shark frowned and looked unhappy.

    "Boss Jin, if you have something to say, just say it. Do we still have to beat around the bush?"

    Sea Shark retreated from everyone. "Have you heard anything from Yu Qian in the past few days?"

    Chu Yi shook his head. "No."

    "It''s too strange." Sea Shark''s eyes were filled with confusion. "Yu Qian is so ruthless. Why is he so calm after his brother was killed? Do you think he''s really afraid of our alliance? Or is he plotting something?"

 Chapter 1427 Walking Into The World

    A dark glint shed across Chu Yi''s eyes. "Yu Qian''s personality is fickle. Even if you ask me, I don''t know."

    Sea Shark sighed. "Who knew he was so vignt? I actually didn''t kill himst time, but I still have something good to look for you."

    "Is it the vine?"

    "Yes." Sea Shark nodded. "That Jayce is Yu Qian''s right-hand man after all. Although he didn''t get the core antidote, he provided me with a detailed data of the virus. I''ve already gotten someone to produce the relevant medicine. Young Master Chu, it''s time for us to earn money!!"

    Chu Yi turned the thumb ring on his hand. "How''s China?"

    "We''ve already cast the. We''re just waiting for the fish to take the bait." Sea Shark grinned, his eyes shining. "China is guarding it tightly and not letting us in. This time, I found a w."

    Over the years, Sea Shark had wandered around China for an unknown period of time, but he had always been rejected because most of his businesses were illegal. He had lost countless trusted aides and money in China.

    Thinking that China was about to be controlled by him, Sea Shark could not hide the smile on his face.

    Chu Yi was not as optimistic as him. "It''s too early for you to be happy. They might be prepared. Don''t forget that Jun Shiling has many capable people."

    "Ha, don''t worry this time." Sea Shark was confident. "I have a trump card."

    Hearing the words trump card, Chu Yi looked at Sea Shark in confusion. "What do you mean??"

    Sea Shark shook his head. "The ace will naturally be revealed at the most critical moment. Anyway, I''ve already arranged everything. I need your factory to cooperate with me."

    Chu Yi nodded. "No problem."

    After reaching a consensus on this issue, Sea Shark discussed with Chu Yi for a long time. When the two of them came out of the cabin, three hours had passed.

    Five kilometers away from the ship, a fishing boat was floating quietly. The fisherman retracted the binocrs, took out a small instrument from his pocket, entered a few numbers on it, and threw it into the water.

    An hourter, an encrypted email was sent to Yu Qian.

    At this moment, Yu Qian was sitting on a chair in a snow-whiteboratory suit and wearing snow-white gloves. He took the email and nced at it, his eyes calm.

    "Boss, Sea Shark and Chu Yi havepletely formed an alliance. What should we do?" In front of Yu Qian, a young letter assistant was asking for Yu Qian''s opinion.

    Yu Qian''s expression was indifferent. "Let them be."

    "Okay."

    "Is everything ready?" Yu Qian stood up and walked into theboratory. The assistant hurriedly followed.

    When he arrived at the entrance of theboratory, the assistant stopped and watched Yu Qian enter.

    The subordinate sent all sorts of materials to theboratory. When he came out, a subordinate finally could not help but ask, "Boss, what are you fiddling with?? You''ve never entered theboratory for so long."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "I don''t understand. Ever since Mr. Wei died, Boss has been like this. Sigh, when Mr. Wei was around, it was still better. At that time, Boss didn''t seem to be so cold."

    "No chatting." Just as everyone was discussing, the new assistant looked over and everyone hurriedly left in silence.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Although all the production lines in China had already joined the work, they could not supply the consumption at the base.

    At the same time, more and more people began to show initial symptoms in the city more than a hundred kilometers away from the base.

    "Mr. Bo." Shen Xiu looked at him solemnly. "I''m afraid it''ll be difficult this time. I suggest you return to Beijing and ask for instructions first. Command remotely. I''ll treat the injured here."

    Bo Xiao shook his head. "I''ve already asked Xia Wanyuan to bring the information back. I''ll stay here."

    "But your family." As a doctor, Shen Xiu knew the fatality of this illness the best.

    Although in principle, Bo Xiao should stay here, in terms of emotions, Shen Xiu felt that An Rao and Bo Xiao had experienced too many twists and turns and should not be involved in this storm again.

    "There''s no need to say anything else. What other supplies do you need? I''ll arrange it."

    Shen Xiu retracted his words. "I still need gauze and painkillers."

    "Mm, I understand." With that, Bo Xiao quickly disappeared into the night.

    At this moment, China looked calm, but in fact, all the wind and rain were hidden in the calm on the surface.

    The trending topics on Weibo were all about various entertainment gossip.

    This Best Actress sprained her ankle walking the red carpet. That Best Actor had an affair with an actress from the same production team. Either that or one of the celebrity characters in the entertainment industry had copsed again.

    Among them, what attracted everyone''s attention the most was the plot discussion of the television drama "Under the Sky".

    Now that the plot of "Under the Sky" and "Ice" had already advanced to the middle stage, the reputation of "Under the Sky" did not copse. Instead, it rose.

    Perhaps short-term viewership ratings could be achieved by fake reviewers. However, as time passed, the ratings of "Ice" gradually decreased, and all sorts of marketing began to soften.

    Not only did China''s "Under the Sky" capture arge number of domestic audience, but it also attracted a wave of movie viewers worldwide.

    Every time the television drama was updated, there would be amotion on the Inte.

    This time, Chinese television dramas really walked towards the entire world.

 Chapter 1428 Ling Yuan Fund

    Unlike the past, this time, it was all-rounded. Because of this television drama, Xia Wanyuan had really be an international superstar with global influence.

    In this television drama, Xia Wanyuan did not appear in many scenes, but the scene of her stepping on the stream from the mountains made one instantly remember this fairy from the east.

    Because of the continuity of the television dramas, Xia Wanyuan''s impression in everyone''s hearts kept deepening. All sorts of movies and television dramas rted to her gradually became popr overseas.

    The craze in the country had yet to subside, and the worldwide craze had begun again. Not only did it bring Xia Wanyuan a huge poprity, but it also brought her a huge economic ie.

    Xia Wanyuan had once invested in the huge cultural industry framework and gradually extended her tentacles to the entire world.

    At this moment, the Xiafeng Group also made thetest quarter n, which was to build ten "Moon Bay" paradises in other areas other than China.

    "Damn, I heard that Linxi invested 40 billion yuan in that Moon Bay project. Ten Moon Bay projects¡­ How amazing. Xia Wanyuan is really rich."

    [ Isn''t it normal for her to be rich? We''re in the rted industries. Now, the entire industrial chain is rted to the Xiafeng Group¡­ Xia Wanyuan has been plotting since two years ago. She has great foresight¡­ ]

    [ Ten¡­ Wouldn''t that be 400 billion¡­ I''m really speechless. If so much money is used for public welfare, who knows how many people will benefit? Capitalists are capitalists. It''s better to earn money. ]

    [ The person in front, are you crazy from hating the rich?! How did Xia Wanyuan not do public service? Did you crawl under her bed and see it? ]

    [ I''m dying ofughter. The fans are still washing here. Some time ago, Xia Wanyuan was dug out. So many people in the entertainment industry are doing charity donations. Xia Wanyuan is so rich, but she''s not done a single cent. ]

    There were more and more controversies on the Inte. Gradually, the topic of Xia Wanyuan''s public service floated again.

    However, this time, a very attentiveizen discovered a detail that had been ignored by everyone.

    Everyone was very familiar with thergest charitable organizations in China. However, when they flipped throughst year''s public welfare project investment, there was a private organization called the "Ning Yuan Fund". In just a year, it had sent nearly 30 billion yuan of public welfare expenditure to various ces.

    After this fund attracted everyone''s attention, everyone wanted to investigate which rich man was so generous. In the end, after taking a look, they realized that the founder''s ce was actually confidential.

    Looking at this name, some people naturally thought of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    However, arge number of people questioned. "Doing charity is a good thing. If it''s really Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, how can they be secretive?"

    Just as everyone was arguing, the Ning Yuan Fund suddenly changed its name from Ning Yuan to Ling Yuan.

    At this moment, no one needed to argue anymore. These two words were too obvious. It was obvious that it was a foundation established by Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.<novelnext></novelnext>

    [ Those who said that Xia Wanyuan didn''t do anything just now, can youe out and take a few steps?? Where''s the enthusiasm you had when you spread rumors just now? ]

    [ I''m dying ofughter hahahahaha, is your face pped?? She does way more in a year,pared to many other organizations, yet you still have the cheek to criticize her. To be honest, Xia Wanyuan''s contribution is much greater than yours, okay? ]

    [ Tsk, didn''t she just donate some money? What''s there to be smug about? If I were as rich as Xia Wanyuan, I could donate tens of billions a year. ]

    Even though there were still many haters questioning Xia Wanyuan on Weibo, most people were shocked by the foundation established by Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    After all, the establishment of this foundation was not officially awarded, but the areas and amounts involved were quiterge. This incident even rmed the officials, who sent Xia Wanyuanmendations.

    In the studio, Lu Li was looking curiously at Xia Wanyuan''s medal. "Sister Xia, you''re so amazing. You''re so kind."

    Xia Wanyuan did not turn around and was busy with the proposal in her hand. "How''s the studio recently?"

    "Pretty good." Lu Li nodded. "Sister Xia, it''s almost time for school to end. Aren''t you going to pick Xiao Bao up?"

    Xia Wanyuan finally looked up at her phone. She was about to get up when she received another call. It was from Old Master Fu.

    Ever since theyst met, Xia Wanyuan had not contacted Old Master Fu for a long time. Now that she heard Old Master Fu say that he had made a new discovery, Xia Wanyuan''s eyes lit up.

    "Sister Xia, if you''re busy, I''ll help you pick Xiao Bao up." Lu Li put down the medal and walked to Xia Wanyuan''s side.

    "Okay." Xia Wanyuan nodded, then picked up her bag and instructed Lu Li a few things before leaving the studio.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan drove to the research institute. Old Master Fu was still sitting in the familiar seat in the garden, waiting for Xia Wanyuan.

    "Old Master Fu." Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at Old Master Fu.

    "Mm, sit." Old Master Fu gestured for Xia Wanyuan to sit in front of him. After Xia Wanyuan sat down, Old Master Fu took out a thick stack of information. "I found these from Teacher''s previous research ancient books."

    ? Xia Wanyuan took it and took a look. The research showed that the figure of the ck-robed man had appeared in the records of many tribes.

    In these ancient books, everyone described the ck-robed man as an "outsider". They did not describe this strange outsider much. Everyone only knew that he seemed to be looking for something.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled the dream she had.

 Chapter 1429 - 1429 Smokescreen

    1429 Smokescreen

    In that dream, Xia Wei was followed by the mysterious ck-robed man.

    Xia Wanyuan had a bold imagination. Could it be that this ck-robed man had been here for the past thousand years??

    Since I could transcend time, the ck-robed man had first appeared beside Xia Wei and now appeared in all sorts of ancient books. Was it possible that he had been hiding in the dark and quietly observing me? What was his goal?

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly shuddered. She looked at Old Master Fu in front of her. ¡°Does your mentor have any research on this ck-robed man?¡±

    !!

    Old Master Fu shook his head. ¡°Perhaps you can go to Emperor Yuan Xia¡¯s tomb to find the answer.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±

    After bidding farewell to Old Master Fu, Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor. She thought that she would see Xiao Bao as soon as she returned, but when she returned home, she only saw Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ording to the time, Lu Li and Xiao Bao should already return. She called Lu Li.

    The phone rang for a while before it was picked up. ¡°Sister Xia.¡±

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you back yet?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re at an intersection. There was a car ident here just now, and the road is more congested. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll be there in fifteen minutes.¡± Lu Li¡¯s voice was noisy, and the window was filled with the sound of endless cars.

    ¡°Okay,e back early,¡± Xia Wanyuan instructed and went upstairs.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in the Beijing Hotel, a young man was leaning against the window and quietly looking at the map in his hand.

    The phone rang. He picked it up. After the other party said a few words, a smile appeared on the man¡¯s face. ¡°Not bad.¡±

    With that, the man immediately hung up. He fiddled with the seal in his hand. ¡°Tsk, looks like we¡¯re going to seed this time.¡±

    The man stood in front of the window for a while, then turned around and returned to the desk. He opened a secret connection webpage and typed a line of words.

    ¡°Let¡¯s enter the final preparations.¡±

    At the same time, heavy weaponsnded in the hidden mountains in all the continents of the world.

    Time passed day by day.

    Bo Xiao brought people to wrap up the relevant work. Looking at the removed wards in front of him, a hint of relief shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°It¡¯s finally about to end. It¡¯s been hard on you recently.¡±

    Shen Xiu smiled. ¡°You¡¯re treating us like outsiders. Isn¡¯t saving them the same as saving ourselves?¡±

    The news that the base was preparing to loosen the restrictions not only made the people in the country happy, but it also spread abroad immediately.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? We haven¡¯t even sent our vines over and they¡¯ve already resolved it?¡± Sea Shark had a bad temper. When he saw that the money in his hand was gone, he immediately lost his temper.

    Chu Yi was very calm. ¡°You¡¯re too unconfident in Yu Qian¡¯s medical skills. It¡¯s not so easy to crack what he made.¡±

    Sea Shark looked at Chu Yi in confusion. ¡°You mean? A smokescreen?¡±

    After the matter at the base came to an end, Bo Xiao could finally return to Beijing.

    Over the past few days, An Rao had been apanying Xia Wanyuan in the manor. Bo Xiao came straight to the manor the moment he got off the ne.

    However, just as he reached the door, Bo Xiao stopped.

 Chapter 1430 Reunion

    In the living room, Xiao Bao was ying with his sister. From time to time, his eyes would curve up and the dimples on his face would appear.

    Seeing Bo Xiao enter, Xiao Bao ran happily towards him. "Uncle Bo!!"

    Bo Xiao picked Xiao Bao up, but he did not kiss his face as usual. Instead, he pulled Xiao Bao''s sleeve and checked him very carefully.

    Xiao Bao''s arm was smooth and there was nothing unusual. Bo Xiao frowned slightly. Could I have seen wrongly?

    At this moment, An Rao walked over with the child and smiled at Bo Xiao excitedly.

    Bo Xiao stroked Xiao Bao''s head and ced him on the ground. Only then did he open his arms and pull An Rao into his arms. He whispered into her ear, "You''ve worked hard."

    An Rao''s eyes turned red as she hugged Bo Xiao''s waist. "You''ve worked hard too."

    Today was not only the day Bo Xiao returned to Beijing, but also the day Jun Shiling returned from America.

    Bo Xiao stayed in the manor for less than two hours before Jun Shiling''s car slowly drove into the garden.

    Seeing Bo Xiao, Jun Shiling nodded at him. Bo Xiao smiled and nodded at Jun Shiling.

    At night, they were about to go out for dinner when it suddenly rained. The children''s emotions were unstable, so Xia Wanyuan and the rest stayed in the manor.

    It was alreadyte autumn. Although the floor heater was turned on in the living room, the autumn rain outside the window was still cold.

    An Rao suggested eating hotpot to ward off the cold, so Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling took the initiative to go to the kitchen to work.

    ? An hourter, the four adults and Xiao Bao sat on the carpet in the living room. In the middle was a mandarin duck pot. Steam kept rising, enveloping everyone''s eyes.

    The wine sses clinked, and a few drops of wine seeped into the boiling soup in the country.

    That night, everything outside seemed to be isted by the autumn rain. Everyone could only see the wine ss and hotpot in front of them.

    The four of them chatted andughed as they drank a few bottles of red wine in the hotpot.<novelnext></novelnext>

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were drunk. Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao each carried them back to the bedroom.

    Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes slightly and saw Jun Shiling in front of her. "Hubby."

    "Mm." Only when Xia Wanyuan was drunk could he hear her call him so proactively. Jun Shiling smiled and helped Xia Wanyuan change her clothes.

    "If only I could always be so happy." Xia Wanyuan ced her face beside Jun Shiling''s hand and exhaled.

    Jun Shiling reached out to touch Xia Wanyuan''s forehead. "I''m sorry to make you work so hard."

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. "It doesn''t matter if it''s hard work. It''s fine as long as you''re here."

    A smile appeared in Jun Shiling''s eyes. He stroked Xia Wanyuan''s hair. "Mm."

    That night, the autumn rain seemed to be especially gentle. It was clearly raining heavily in the evening, but at night, it began to drizzle and gather into a dream that was like the moon.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up when she received a message.

    "Sister Xia!! The Oscar organizer of America sent us an invitation. Do we need to send the television drama over to participate in the evaluation?"

    Xia Wanyuan''s fingers moved gently. "Send it."

    Soon, the organizers sent news asking the main team of the television drama "Under the Sky" to cooperate with the filming of the relevant promotional video.

    The filming location was in China, but in a city in the south, the production team had reduced the filming time to two days before Xia Wanyuan could take time to film.

    However, just as she arrived in the south on the ne, the butler called.

    "Madam, Young Master is hospitalized."

 Chapter 1431 - 1431 Missing

    1431 Missing

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. Xiao Bao¡¯s physique had always been very good. When I left Beijing, Xiao Bao was still alive and kicking. How long have I been gone? Why was he hospitalized?

    ¡°What did the doctor say was the illness?¡±

    The butler¡¯s voice trembled. ¡°Madam, I don¡¯t know, but Young Master Bo Xiao personally brought him away. They said that Young Master needs to be isted.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart instantly sank. She looked at the other people at the side. ¡°I¡¯m going back to Beijing now. Film it yourself.¡±

    Everyone nodded repeatedly. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the nearest flight back to Beijing. The moment she got off the ne, she ran straight to Beijing Hospital, but to no avail. Xiao Bao was brought to a hidden hospital in the suburbs.

    As Xia Wanyuan rushed over, she called Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, do you know that Xiao Bao has been taken away?¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± For some reason, Xia Wanyuan thought of the frequent virus outbreaks in the southwest and had a bad feeling.

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure yet. I¡¯m investigating. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m already taking care of him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling had definitely already gotten the expert group to check Xiao Bao collectively. If they could not find the reason, it meant that the problem was moreplicated than she had imagined.

    On the way to the hospital, Xia Wanyuan tried to calm herself down.

    Xiao Bao¡¯s security facilities had always been very good. There had never been a problem in the past, but now, he had been infected and needed to be isted. Who had transmitted it to him?

    Suddenly, Xia Wanyuan seemed to have thought of something. She took out her phone and called Chen Yun. ¡°Where¡¯s Lu Li?¡±

    Chen Yun was helping the production team film a promotional video. He looked around. ¡°She was still here just now. She said she was going to find a support. What¡¯s wrong? Why are you looking for her?¡±

    ¡°Tell me when shees back.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the hospital. Bo Xiao was waiting for her at the door. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, guilt shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister-inw.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head at Bo Xiao and was about to enter when Bo Xiao stopped her. ¡°Sister-inw, Xiao Bao¡¯s illness is very infectious. You can¡¯t go in.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was very firm. ¡°Prepare protective clothing for me. I want to go in.¡±

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, Bo Xiao was helpless. He knew that he could not stop her and could only get someone to prepare a full set of protective measures for her.

    When all the equipment was ready, Xia Wanyuan walked into the ward. Jun Shiling was sitting by the bed with Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao, who had been alive and kicking the day before, was lying weakly on the bed with a pale face.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes lit up. With Jun Shiling¡¯s help, he sat up. Xia Wanyuan walked over and pulled Xiao Bao into her arms.

    Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly. ¡°Mommy, it hurts.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached. She patted Xiao Bao¡¯s back. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. We¡¯ll be out soon.¡±

    Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan and did not let go. Xia Wanyuan coaxed Xiao Bao until he finally fell asleep. Only then did Xia Wanyuan leave the room with Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand and nodded at her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    The worry in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes had not dissipated when her phone rang. Xia Wanyuan picked it up and saw that it was a call from Chen Yun.

    ¡°Wanyuan, I didn¡¯t find Lu Li, and neither did the others. We¡¯re all preparing to call the police.¡±

 Chapter 1432 Mission Completed

    Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and opened them again. Then, she said, "Call the police directly."

    "Okay."

    After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. "Is Xiao Bao going to stay here the whole time?"

    "Mm." Jun Shiling nodded. "I''m not sure what the connection is yet. Letting him stay here is the best choice now."

    Heartache shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. Ever since she arrived, Xiao Bao had not left her much, let alone been locked up here alone.

    Through the ss window, Xia Wanyuan looked at Xiao Bao, who was sleeping inside. His small face was buried under the nket, looking weak and pitiful.

    "Alright, let''s go." Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out. "I''lle and visit him every day."

    Xia Wanyuan was pulled by Jun Shiling and kept turning to look at Xiao Bao, her eyes filled with reluctance.

    After Xia Wanyuan arrived at the hospital, Bo Xiao was called away by a phone call.

    As expected, after Xiao Bao was sent to the hospital, some children in the kindergarten he was studying fell sick one after another.

    [ The little kid is so pitiful. He''s sick at such a young age. Xia Wanyuan infected her child¡­ Now, she''s harmed everyone. ]

    [ Can you stop talking nonsense? Xia Wanyuan should be the saddest now, okay?? She''s the child''s mother. Isn''t she sadder than you?? Keyboard warriors are really annoying. Other than typing on the keyboard, what else can she do? ]

    The Inte was filled with controversy. In reality, everyone was panicking, afraid that they would be the next person to fall sick.<novelnext></novelnext>

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan had just returned from watching Xiao Bao when her phone rang.

    "Wanyuan, Lu Li is really missing." It had been a day and night. Even though he had already called the police, he still could not find any news about Lu Li. Chen Yun was extremely worried. "Do you think she fell down the mountain? I''m so worried about her."

    Xia Wanyuan''s expression darkened. "There''s no need to look anymore. We shouldn''t be able to find her."

    Xia Wanyuan''s words were inexplicable. The back of Chen Yun''s neck turned cold. "What¡­ What do you mean??"

    "She''s probably abroad."

    ? "??? How did you know?"

    "I guessed it." Xia Wanyuan tidied the package in front of her. "Go ahead."

    "Oh, okay." Chen Yun nodded. Since Xia Wanyuan had said that he did not have to care anymore, he did not hesitate anymore.

    At this moment, in Continent F, Lu Li was standing in front of Yu Qian and reporting the situation respectfully.

    Her eyes were as untainted as ever.

    "Not bad." Yu Qian nced at Lu Li indifferently. "You can leave. Go back to your original position."

    "Yes." Lu Li smiled and nodded. She was as bright as ever, and her dimples were faintly visible, bing the active one in the base.

 Chapter 1433 - 1433 Plot

    1433 Plot

    Watching Lu Li leave, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. He gently knocked on the table in front of him, his eyes determined.

    On Yu Qian¡¯s left was a pot of blooming lotus petals. At this moment, the flowers had already bloomed. The leaves were stretched out, and the flowers were beautiful with a faint fragrance.

    Yu Qian reached out to touch the lotus leaf. ¡°Since you like her so much, I¡¯ll get her toe and apany you.¡±

    At this moment, the subordinate who had just left walked in again. ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a man in a ck robe outside who wants to see you.¡±

    ¡°Let him in,¡± Yu Qian looked up and said calmly.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Soon, the subordinate led the ck-robed man in.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Qian looked up at the ck-robed man. ¡°Do you like to hide like this every time you appear?¡±

    The ck-robed manughed sinisterly. ¡°I came over to discuss something with you.¡±

    ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Did you know that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s son is sick? I know you have a vine.¡±

    ¡°So?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯ll definitelye to you for the vine for her son. Don¡¯t give it to her.¡± The ck-robed man looked at Yu Qian. ¡°I¡¯ll give you benefits.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. ¡°What benefits?¡±

    He had realized a long time ago that this ck-robed man seemed to be especially concerned about Xia Wanyuan¡¯s situation, but no matter how he investigated, he could not find their rtionship.

    ¡°In this map, a ship sank here.¡± The ck-robed man pointed at a certain location on the map. ¡°There¡¯s endless wealth here.¡±

    Yu Qian raised an eyebrow slightly. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you forgot something. I hate Jun Shiling the most. Do you think I¡¯ll be unhappy if his son dies?¡±

    The ck-robed man was stunned for a moment, thenughed loudly. ¡°I was overthinking.¡±

    Yu Qian stroked the rim of his cup twice. ¡°There¡¯s a question. I¡¯ve always been very curious. What¡¯s Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship with you?¡±

    ¡°Her?¡± The ck-robed man sneered. ¡°Would you believe me if I said that she¡¯s my family?¡±

    Yu Qian looked at the ck-robed man quietly for a while and suddenly smiled. ¡°Why won¡¯t I believe you?¡±

    At this moment, Beijing was already in chaos. Xiao Bao¡¯s condition was continuing to deteriorate. Even with Shen Xiu and a group of experts holding down the fort, they could not find any feasible solution.

    Jun Shiling walked over and hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Go and rest first. You¡¯ve been looking after him the entire night.¡±

    On the other side of the ss, Xiao Bao was curled up on the bed crying bitterly. Because he had been injected with a tranquilizer, he was sleeping, but tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes, making him look very pitiful.

    Looking at Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned red from heartache. ¡°Who¡¯s the person behind Lu Li?¡±

    ¡°Yu Qian.¡± Speaking of Yu Qian, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°I also received news.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Wanyuan turned around.

    ¡°Wei Zimu is dead.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°When?¡±

    ¡°Half a month ago, ording to the news I received, arge part of the reason why I got the medicine was because Wei Zimu pleaded with Yu Qian.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, the image of Wei Zimu smiling and handing her the snacks appeared in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s mind.

    He seemed to always be wearing a white shirt and a smile. No matter what adversity he was in, he was never tainted by the darkness. Xia Wanyuan sighed. ¡°I should have had a good meal with himst time.¡±

 Chapter 1434 - 1434 Yu Qianâ€™s Letter

    1434 Yu Qian¡¯s Letter

    No matter how regretful she was, Wei Zimu had already disappeared from this world forever. Xia Wanyuan, who was already depressed, felt even more upset.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan like this, Jun Shiling did not feel good either. He brought Xia Wanyuan back to the manor, thinking that the children could make her feel better.

    When they arrived at the entrance of the manor, they happened to meet the person who came to deliver the things.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. He went forward to take the box and opened it. His expression warmed. ¡°Look at this.¡±

    !!

    ]Xia Wanyuan leaned over to take a look, her face filled with surprise. The box contained a jade cauldron. ¡°Where did thise from?¡±

    ¡°Chu Yi.¡± Jun Shiling held the jade cauldron and walked into the house with Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s all thanks to Feng Wuyou this time.¡±

    ¡°Is she okay with Chu Yi?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°Chu Yi¡¯s attitude is very strange, but this time, he¡¯s willing to send the jade cauldron over because of Feng Wuyou.¡±

    In the Chu family¡¯s mansion in Continent F, Chu Yi walked to Feng Wuyou¡¯s side with the medicine. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent the things over ording to your requirements. You can drink the medicine now, right?¡±

    Feng Wuyou nced at Chu Yi and drank the medicine.

    ¡°Why did you keep him?¡±

    After knowing that she was pregnant with Chu Yi¡¯s child, Feng Wuyou had been thinking of all sorts of ways to abort this child. This child was not the result of his father and mother falling in love. It was the result of hatred. There was no point in him staying.

    However, Chu Yi wanted to keep this child. He even wanted Feng Wuyou to keep the child at the price of giving the jade cauldron to Xia Wanyuan.

    Chu Yi sat beside Feng Wuyou and reached out to hug her. Feng Wuyou¡¯s body stiffened for a moment.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have a child.¡± Chu Yi stroked Feng Wuyou¡¯s hair. ¡°Can¡¯t I have a descendant for myself?¡±

    Feng Wuyou tilted her head to the side. ¡°You have so many confidants. It¡¯s so easy to have a child.¡±

    The corners of Chu Yi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯re different from others.¡±

    Feng Wuyou turned to look at Chu Yi. His eyes were dark, as ifyers of fog surrounded them, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

    Feng Wuyouughed mockingly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m different from others. I¡¯m the daughter of your enemy.¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s eyes paused slightly and he did not say anything else. Instead, he pulled Feng Wuyou into his arms and gently patted her back.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, it had been continuous rain for the past two days. Xia Wanyuan was already worried about Xiao Bao¡¯s condition. Because of this gloomy weather, she could not sleep.

    That night, Jun Shiling went to the hospital to see Xiao Bao. Xia Wanyuan could not sleep again. She sat by the window and looked at the sleeping Little Jiajin and Little Xiaxia. The rain outside the window kept dripping down the ss.

    The night deepened, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s uneasiness grew.

    After some time, the rain became heavier. In the silent bedroom, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s phone rang.

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the call. It was Jun Shiling.

    ¡°I sent someone to pick you up. Come over now.¡±

    Jun Shiling did not say anything else, but Xia Wanyuan already had a feeling. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go over now.¡±

    When they arrived at the hospital, Jun Shiling weed them. ¡°His condition has worsened again. He¡¯s being resuscitated. You can¡¯t go in now.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s legs were a little weak. She leaned against Jun Shiling and grabbed his hand. ¡°He¡¯ll be fine, right?¡±

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. ¡°It¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    However, the resuscitation time this time was longer than before. Seeing that Xiao Bao was entering the operating theater for longer and longer, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s uneasiness became heavier and heavier.

    She leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and gripped the corner of his shirt tightly.

    At five in the morning, Lin Jing rushed in with a letter in his hand.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Madam, Yu Qian sent this over.¡±

    Jun Shiling took it and opened it. Inside was a handwritten letter from Yu Qian. There was only a simple English word and a sentence. ¡°Let Xia Wanyuane over herself.¡±

    That word was the name of an ind on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.

    Yu Qian had ulterior motives for sending this letter.

    Jun Shiling crumpled the letter into a ball. ¡°You can¡¯t go.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan took the letter. ¡°I have to go.¡±

 Chapter 1435 - 1435 Leaving

    1435 Leaving

    Jun Shiling frowned. ¡°I can¡¯t go along with you this time.¡±

    Now, he was 100% certain that Lu Li was a bomb that Yu Qian had buried here. Now, this bomb had brought the virus to Xiao Bao, and its target was Xia Wanyuan.

    He clearly knew that it was a tiger¡¯s den, so Jun Shiling was naturally unwilling to let Xia Wanyuan take the risk.

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xiao Bao, who was lying on the bed. Because of the huge pain in his body, Xiao Bao was covered in cold sweat. His white pillow was almost soaked in sweat.

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan and pulled her away. ¡°Stay in the manor for the time being. Leave the matters outside to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks and looked at Jun Shiling calmly. ¡°If Yu Qian asked you to go, would you go?¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks. ¡°Give me three days.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Jun Shiling gathered all the top experts, but it was useless. As time passed, those patients infected with Xiao Bao as the center began to act up. Now, the entire Beijing began to be enveloped in panic.

    It rained overnight. At this moment, all sorts of simr cases began to appear elsewhere in the country. Those hidden tentacles finally probed the surrounding people.

    Many people did not have as good medical conditions as Xiao Bao. This illness came quickly and the condition was fierce. All sorts of bad news kept entering Beijing.

    The team led by Shen Xiu and the rest had been working non-stop for a long time, but they had not gained anything.

    Yu Qian was the top doctor and poison expert in the world. It was difficult for others to crack the virus he had created in a short time.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan pushed open the study door. Jun Shiling was standing in front of the French window with a cold expression.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and held Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    Jun Shiling held her back, but he did not turn around. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent someone to negotiate with Yu Qian.¡±

    Not only were they negotiating, but this time, Jun Shiling even used those powers that had been sealed for a long time. Yu Qian¡¯s various forces were severely injured.

    However, under such circumstances, Yu Qian was still unwilling to give in at all. In short, if he wanted to get the vine, he would let Xia Wanyuan collect it alone.

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s waist. ¡°You know very well that a person like Yu Qian won¡¯t give in.¡±

    Yu Qian knew them well, just as they knew Yu Qian. Even if all of Yu Qian¡¯s instances worldwide had been destroyed, as long as Xia Wanyuan did not appear, he would not relent.

    Jun Shiling insisted. He held Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand tightly, his eyes red. ¡°I¡¯m very selfish. If I say that between you and the child, I¡¯ll only choose you. Will you be angry with me?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°But you won¡¯t give up on him.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling¡¯s personality. He would not be willing to let her see Yu Qian, but he would not watch Xiao Bao die. She vaguely guessed what Jun Shiling was about to do.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk tomorrow, okay?¡± Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about this now. I¡¯ll make you a cup of tea and rest well. You haven¡¯t slept well recently.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    He said that he was going to make tea, but Jun Shiling did not leave immediately. He hugged Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and kissed her forehead very cherishingly. ¡°I¡¯ll always love you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze. ¡°Me too. I¡¯ll always love you.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s head. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Late at night, looking at the sleeping Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling looked at her quietly. After some time, he finally stood up and turned to leave.

    As the bedroom door was gently closed, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes.

    At this moment, downstairs, Lin Jing was waiting for Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling turned around and looked upstairs. ¡°Have you prepared the documents I asked you to prepare?¡±

    ¡°Yes, everything is ready.¡± Lin Jing nodded with hesitation on his face. ¡°CEO Jun¡­¡±

    Before Lin Jing could finish speaking, Jun Shiling gestured to stop him. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything else. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Lin Jing sighed in his heart. In the end, he could only follow Jun Shiling. Their backs disappeared into the night at the same time.

    At this moment, in the Lin family, Lin Qingyuan was on the phone with Chu Yi.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that that vine can give us a huge profit?¡± Lin Qingyuan¡¯s voice was filled with anger. ¡°Is this the result you gave me?¡±

    Chu Yi¡¯s expression was not good either. ¡°We were all yed by Yu Qian.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan sneered. ¡°Then who will pay for my losses?¡±

    ¡°Master Lin, don¡¯t forget that I¡¯ve also invested half of my money. Who should I find topensate me for my losses?¡±

    Their conversation ended unhappily. Lin Qingyuan leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly cold.

    ¡°Master, the medicine we prepared has been returned. The other party replied that it¡¯s not effective.¡± The butler walked in.

    ¡°Got it.¡± Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. ¡°Go and investigate Yu Qian¡¯s movements.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    That night, several people did not sleep.

    Jun Shiling brought Lin Jing to the ind in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. However, just as he was about to go abroad, a ship drove over from afar.

    A group of people got off the ship. The leader handed a box to Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, this is for you from our boss.¡±

    Jun Shiling took it and took a look. His expression instantly changed.

    He took his phone and called Xia Wanyuan. As expected, her phone was switched off.

    He looked straight at the person in front of him. ¡°Where¡¯s your boss?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s already gone back.¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on the box and strode back. ¡°Go to Continent F immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    At this moment, Beijing was also in chaos. Xiao Bao¡¯s condition deepened again, and Shen Xiu even issued a critical illness notice.

    Jun Shiling was not around, so Old Master personally brought people to the hospital.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Wanyuan?¡± Old Master looked at the butler. ¡°Jun Shiling isn¡¯t here. Why isn¡¯t she here?¡±

    The butler shook his head. ¡°When we woke up, we realized that they had both disappeared.¡±

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Because of Xiao Bao¡¯s condition, Old Master¡¯s expression was a little gloomy.

    Everyone who could make the decision left. At this moment, the manor fell into emptiness. A group of people was quietly approaching the manor.

    The manor¡¯s rm system was quickly triggered and let out a sharp cry. Countless ck shadows jumped in from outside the wall. The secret guards of the manor also appeared one after another. Both sides fell into an intense fight.

    Lin Jing called the manor a few times, but no one answered.

    It was only when their ne had alreadynded at the airport in Continent F that the call in the manor was connected.

    ¡°Something happened.¡±

 Chapter 1436 - 1436 Abducted

    1436 Abducted

    It waste at night in Continent F. Jun Shiling was striding out of the airport and constantly calling outside.

    As if sensing something, Jun Shiling turned to look at Lin Jing. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Lin Jing, who had never hesitated, had an obvious anxious expression. ¡°CEO Jun, something happened in Beijing.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes paused. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    ¡°Third Miss, she was snatched away.¡± Just as Lin Jing finished speaking, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to the freezing point.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the security system set up in the manor?¡± Before Jun Shiling left, he got someone to upgrade the security standards in the manor to the highest. Logically speaking, it could withstand the highest level of invasion.

    Speaking of this, Lin Jing¡¯s expression was a little touched. ¡°Yu Qian should have sent half of his core forces.¡±

    No one would have thought that Yu Qian would break his arms in this way. In the end, they had let down their guard.

    Jun Shiling was exceptionally calm at this moment. He looked at Lin Jing. ¡°Go and find Xia Wanyuan first.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Lin Jing immediately followed Jun Shiling. He looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s back worriedly.

    Even when they got into the car, there was still no change in Jun Shiling¡¯s expression. After a while, Jun Shiling looked at Lin Jing. ¡°Do you have a cigarette?¡±

    Lin Jing nodded and took out a cigarette and lighter from the storage room in the car. Jun Shiling took the cigarette and lit it, taking a deep puff.

    [fHe spat out a circle and looked at the gradually retreating lights outside the window. ¡°I should have thought of it.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was so smart and should have thought of his n long ago. She had been unusually calm recently. Jun Shiling thought that she was worried about Xiao Bao. Now that he thought about it, Xia Wanyuan should have long made ns to leave.

    When Jun Shiling went to Yu Qian¡¯s base, the vine Yu Qian had sent had already been sent back to China.

    In the operating theater, Xiao Bao¡¯s heart was almost beating in a straight line. At thest moment, he was injected with a vine. His weak heart began to beat stronger. Almost instantly, all his vital data began to change for the better.

    Shen Xiu sighed heavily. ¡°Fortunately, CEO Jun sent the medicine back in time. If we were a stepter, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡±

    At this moment, everyone looked very rxed. Only Bo Xiao¡¯s expression was still cold.

    Since the virus incident this time was inseparable from Yu Qian, Yu Qian must have obtained what he wanted now that the vine was sent over.

    Then what was the price?

    Bo Xiao took out his phone and called Jun Shiling. The other party continued to show that he was on the phone.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯re here.¡± At this moment, Lin Jing and Jun Shiling had already arrived at the city that they had found closest to Yu Qian.

    ¡°Go in.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    At this moment, in the base, Yu Qian was sitting opposite Xia Wanyuan. Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s calm expression, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes were filled with interest.

    ¡°You¡¯re even calmer than I thought. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll kill you?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Yu Qian. ¡°You spent so much effort to bring me over. Are you trying to kill me?¡±

    Yu Qian smiled and handed the ss of water beside him to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Guess where Jun Shiling is now?¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s name, Xia Wanyuan tightened her grip on the table.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Qian stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s go eat.¡±

    ¡°Is it worth it?¡± Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked.

    Although Yu Qian had not told her directly, from her observations in the past two days, Xia Wanyuan could tell that Yu Qian had lost more than half of his forces. His core forces had even been severely injured.

    Yu Qian turned around slightly, his side profile blurry in the light. ¡°If I¡¯m willing, it¡¯s worth it.¡±

 Chapter 1437 - 1437 Yu Qianâ€™s Exception

    1437 Yu Qian¡¯s Exception

    Yu Qian¡¯s side profile was hidden in the dim light, making one feel a little lonely.

    However, Xia Wanyuan could not feel any sympathy for Yu Qian. She nced at her surroundings. ¡°Where¡¯s my room?¡±

    Yu Qian really smiled this time. He turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You really treat my ce as a resort.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. She knew very well that against someone like Yu Qian, only by standing in the same position as him could she win his respect. Once she was at a disadvantage, she would really be prey in his hands.

    As expected, although Xia Wanyuan¡¯s attitude was extremely arrogant in everyone¡¯s eyes, Yu Qian actually got someone to arrange a room for her in the base. He even sent in many things from outside for Xia Wanyuan to use.

    Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and drank tea quietly, but she was constantly nning in her heart.

    Although she had been blindfolded on the way here, Xia Wanyuan had calcted that it had taken nearly twelve hours to fly here from the Pacific Ocean.

    ording to the sound of the sea hitting the stern, it could be heard that they had traveled south by boat for nearly three hours, then passed through a rtively long and cold tunnel before finally arriving.

    Hence, after Xia Wanyuan¡¯s constant calctions in her heart, she could roughly confirm that she was in the south of Continent F, about two hundred kilometers away from the West Coast.

    Although Yu Qian¡¯s various actions were very strange, Xia Wanyuan could feel that Yu Qian had no intention of hurting her.

    It was probably because every time she saw Yu Qian, she would always think of something Wei Zimu had once said to her.

    That was thest time Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu had seen each other.

    At that time, after Wei Zimu exchanged greetings with her, the two of them stood by theke and looked at the pigeons that flew up not far away.

    Wei Zimu looked at it for a long time before suddenly turning to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°What kind of person do you think Yu Qian is?¡±

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan replied, ¡°Dangerous.¡±

    Wei Zimu smiled at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You¡¯re right, but you never have to worry that he¡¯ll hurt you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan asked in confusion, ¡°Why?¡±

    At that time, Wei Zimu only smiled faintly and told Xia Wanyuan firmly, ¡°He will hurt everyone except you.¡±

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan still did not know what Wei Zimu meant, but now, Xia Wanyuan seemed to vaguely understand.

    After understanding, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached endlessly.

    Actually, Wei Zimu was Yu Qian¡¯s obsession, and Xia Wanyuan was Wei Zimu¡¯s obsession. Wei Zimu used his life as the price to beg for a permanent life-saving talisman for Xia Wanyuan.

    Wei Zimu knew Yu Qian the best.

    Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan sighed. She stood up and walked towards the window.

    There were a few beautiful orchids by the window that were slowly emitting a fragrance.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and sniffed it. She took a kettle from the side and watered the orchids.

    Yu Qian was standing at the door at some point in time. After Xia Wanyuan finished watering, she looked up and saw Yu Qian. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    At this moment, the light was dim. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s facial features were blurry under the light, and there was a faint orchid fragrance at the tip of her nose. In a daze, Yu Qian seemed to see Wei Zimu.

    His eyes narrowed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you eating?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan touched her stomach. She did not feel it just now, but now, she did feel a little hungry. ¡°Do you have prawns? I want to eat seafood.¡±

    As if feeling that this conversation was quite interesting, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered. He looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly for a while, then nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to catch them now.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned to leave, and Xia Wanyuan followed him.

    As Xia Wanyuan walked, she looked at the environment of the base.

    This ce was like a replicated underground city. There was an artificial sun, mountains, rivers, and city streets. If not for the border not far away, one would feel that this was a real city.

    After walking for about ten minutes, Yu Qian brought Xia Wanyuan to the dining room. There were not many dishes on the table, and they were very light. Xia Wanyuan knew at a nce that these dishes were Wei Zimu¡¯s favorites.

    The two of them sat at the dining table for ten minutes before a subordinate brought fresh seafood into the base. Yu Qian gestured for Xia Wanyuan to take her chopsticks. ¡°Eat first. They¡¯ve already gone to cook seafood. They¡¯ll serve it upter.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not eating?¡±

    [Yu Qian shook his head. ¡°I never eat these.¡±

    Yu Qian was already used to nutrient solutions. As long as he wanted to, he could not eat any food for a year. He did not like the taste of food, but he liked to watch others eat.

    Xia Wanyuan took her chopsticks and quietly began to eat.

    Yu Qian sat at the side and looked calmly at Xia Wanyuan, as if he was looking at her, or at someone else through her.

    Soon, the subordinate served the cooked seafood. Xia Wanyuan was about to reach for it when Yu Qian took the lead and ced his hand on the edge of the te. ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nced at him. ¡°I used to like prawns very much too.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Yu Qian could tell that Xia Wanyuan had something to say.

    ¡°Jun Shiling peeled everything I ate for me.¡± When Xia Wanyuan spoke of Jun Shiling, her eyes were clearly filled with longing and softness.

    Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll kill you?¡±

    ¡°Then kill me.¡± Xia Wanyuan calmly continued eating, ignoring Yu Qian¡¯s cold gaze.

    After a while, Yu Qian retracted his hand from the te and leaned back in his chair to watch Xia Wanyuan eat. ¡°After dinner, prepare to teach me.¡±

    ¡°What ss?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian in surprise.

    ¡°Anything. You can teach me whatever you want.¡± Yu Qian tapped his fingers gently on the table, making little sounds.

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Although he said that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to teach, in fact, after dinner, Yu Qian even got someone to bring Xia Wanyuan back to her room for a two-hour lunch break before getting someone to bring her to the hall.

    Whether it was Xia Wanyuan or the others in the base, they could not understand Yu Qian¡¯s thoughts.

    There were other women in the base, but they were basically puppets. They had never seen Yu Qian treat someone so gently, as if he had restrained all his temper.

    Because of Yu Qian¡¯s preferential treatment of Xia Wanyuan, the others unknowingly became more polite and respectful to her.

    Xia Wanyuan casually chose a painting to exin to Yu Qian. Yu Qian leaned back in his chair and listened with interest.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her sentence, a subordinate suddenly walked over.

    Yu Qian opened his eyes. ¡°Tell me.¡±

    The subordinate lowered his head respectfully. ¡°Jun Shiling sent someone to send a letter.¡±

    Hearing her subordinate¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan stopped what she was doing. She looked at the letter in her subordinate¡¯s hand and her determination cracked.

    She thought that Jun Shiling must be looking for her crazily.

    Yu Qian nced at Xia Wanyuan, then reached out to take the letter from his subordinate.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. ¡°Do you want to know what¡¯s inside?¡±

    ¡°What are your conditions?¡±

    Yu Qian shook his head. ¡°There are no conditions. I might as well tell you that Jun Shiling is willing to use the markets of Continent F and Continent M in exchange for 100 billion in cash just to let you go back.¡±

    At this point, interest appeared in Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Tsk tsk, looks like you¡¯re really his treasure. He¡¯s willing to pay such a huge price to exchange for you to go back.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand that was holding the book trembled slightly, but she did not show it on her face.

    Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan for a while. Seeing that she did not seem to have any reaction, he smiled and shook his head. ¡°Why don¡¯t you guess if I¡¯ll agree?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was cold. ¡°You won¡¯t.¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°How smart. How can I bear to let such a smart person like you go?¡±

    With that, Yu Qian stood up, ced the letter on the table, and stood up to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s rare to see Jun Shiling sad. I have to see him now.¡±

    Watching Yu Qian¡¯s back disappear at the door, Xia Wanyuan took the letter from the table.

    This letter was handwritten by Jun Shiling. From the hurried and heavy handwriting, one could tell the sorrow in Jun Shiling¡¯s heart when he wrote this letter.

    Looking at the familiar words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned red. She reached out and gently stroked the words on the letter.

    Ever since she arrived, Xia Wanyuan had always looked very calm. However, at this moment, the familiar words made the longing in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart spread.

    She missed Jun Shiling and the children in the manor.

    Xia Wanyuan blinked her eyshes, and her tears gently dripped onto the letter.

    However, the moment her tearsnded on the letter, Xia Wanyuan suddenly realized that faint words had appeared on the letter.

    ¡°Wait for me.¡±

    Along with these words floated a map of Continent M. There were dense ck dots distributed on it. Every ck dot represented the stronghold Jun Shiling controlled.

    Xia Wanyuan could see that the nearest stronghold was only one city away.

    The subordinate guarding the door saw that Xia Wanyuan was crying and looked over curiously. Xia Wanyuan still maintained her posture of reading the letter, then held the letter. Only when the handwriting on the paper waspletely dry did Xia Wanyuan put the letter away and put it back.

    At this moment, in a city on the ground, Jun Shiling was sitting at his desk, looking at the map in his hand with a cold expression.

    ¡°Has the letter been sent?¡±

    ¡°Yu Qian is already on his way.¡±

    ¡°Have you found out where he came from?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Lin Jing shook his head. ¡°He¡¯s very cautious. He suddenly appeared from a city in the south of Continent F. We didn¡¯t find any traces of him.¡±

    Just as the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door and a subordinate walked in. ¡°CEO Jun, Yu Qian is here.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood up and brought Lin Jing out. Soon, they arrived at the international sea that he had agreed with Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian stood on the deck and smiled at Jun Shiling. ¡°Good afternoon, CEO Jun. Long time no see.¡±

    ¡°What condition do you want?¡±

 Chapter 1438 - 1438 Kneel

    1438 Kneel

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes, as if he was not surprised that Jun Shiling would say this. He chuckled. ¡°CEO Jun, when I wanted to discuss conditions with you previously, you didn¡¯t even show your face.¡±

    Jun Shiling walked up to Yu Qian and looked straight at him. ¡°You can have the entire Jun Corporation if you want it.¡±

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes, the corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips suddenly curled up. ¡°Is Xia Wanyuan worth you exchanging the Jun Corporation for?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s worth it.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered as he asked Jun Shiling, ¡°Do you think you¡¯re the only one who feels that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s value far exceeds the Jun Corporation?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling, who had always been calm, had finally changed his expression, Yu Qian felt a hint of joy. He stared into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°To be honest, after enjoying your wifest night, I think she¡¯s indeed more valuable than the entire Jun Corporation¡­¡±

    Before Yu Qian could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already aimed the gun at his forehead. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were filled with waves as he pounced on Yu Qian.

    Looking at the ck muzzle, not only was Yu Qian not afraid, but he even shrugged very rxedly. ¡°Shoot.¡±

    Jun Shiling almost crushed the gun. He gritted his teeth. After some time, he finally moved the gun away from Yu Qian.

    ¡°What exactly do you want?¡±

    Yu Qian tilted his head. ¡°Is it very difficult to understand? I only want Xia Wanyuan. How interesting is it to y with your Jun Shiling¡¯s woman?¡±

    With that, Yu Qian looked at Jun Shiling¡¯s expression with interest. However, to his surprise, Jun Shiling was actually very calm this time.

    Yu Qian felt that it was a little boring. He clicked his tongue. ¡°Actually, I still have some other requests. For example, I¡¯ve always wanted to know how it feels to make the famous CEO Jun kneel to me.¡±

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Lin Jing, who was behind Jun Shiling, suddenly looked up with obvious anger in his eyes.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°I want to confirm her safety.¡±

    Yu Qian smiled. ¡°Okay.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian clicked on themunicator. Soon, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice came from themunicator.

    She knew that Yu Qian must have gone to see Jun Shiling, so she called out to him anxiously.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s voice, the calmness on Jun Shiling¡¯s face instantly shattered. His eyes were red. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±

    Yu Qian hung up themunicator. ¡°CEO Jun, let me see your sincerity.¡±

    The sky was already gloomy, and now, it was even denser. Lightning was brewing in the clouds, as if it wanted to destroy everything. The waves surged and kept hitting the side of the ship.

    Jun Shiling lowered his eyes and the veins on his forehead bulged. The subordinate behind him wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Lin Jing. Lin Jing¡¯s expression was not good either. He quietly shook his head at the others.

    Everyone was waiting when Jun Shiling suddenly moved. He took a step back, then bent one leg. The moment his kneended, heavy rain poured.

    Although Jun Shiling was kneeling, his back was straight, and his soul that was as firm as a mountain still stood.

    Looking at Jun Shiling in the rain, Yu Qian should have been very happy. After all, Jun Shiling was his old enemy.

    However, at this moment, looking at Jun Shiling, who was kneeling down to him for Xia Wanyuan, Yu Qian suddenly felt disinterested.

    He could not tell what he was feeling. It was as if all the air had been sucked out of him.

    Yu Qian smiled mockingly. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect¡­ Actually, even if you don¡¯t kneel to me, CEO Jun, I won¡¯t take your wife¡¯s life. Actually, I¡¯m looking forward to the day when Xia Wanyuan holds my hand and walks to you. How will you feel?¡±

    ¡°Impossible.¡±

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± With that, Yu Qian turned around and left.

    After Yu Qian¡¯s back disappeared into the wind and rain, Jun Shiling still did not get up. He knelt in the wind and rain, covered in rain.

    Lin Jing got everyone to retreat and stood quietly at the side.

    ¡°Have you found it?¡± Jun Shiling asked.

    ¡°I have a general direction, but I can¡¯t confirm the exact location.¡±

    ¡°She gave me a hint just now. It¡¯s more than ny kilometers away from the coast.¡±

    Lin Jing looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get someone to investigate immediately. CEO Jun, do you want to get up first?¡±

    Jun Shiling waved his hand. ¡°Go first.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Lin Jing could only turn around and leave. After walking for a long time, he turned around. In the vast world, Jun Shiling¡¯s back revealed great sorrow.

 Chapter 1439 Chaos

    ck clouds pressed down, and the rain between heaven and earth dripped like pearls. Jun Shiling lowered his head and let the rain wash over him.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Shiling had not rested. Now that the rain dripped from his head, Jun Shiling seemed to be in an icehouse, and his scalp was cold.

    The moment he closed his eyes, he could see Xia Wanyuan''s figure. Jun Shiling clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red from the rain.

    When Lin Jing arranged everything to report the situation to Jun Shiling, he saw Jun Shiling lying on the deck.

    Lin Jing hurriedly went forward to help Jun Shiling up. "Shen Xiu! Come here quickly!!"

    On the other hand, Yu Qian left the sea and returned to the base.

    "Where is she?"

    "Miss Xia just ate and is already resting," the subordinate replied respectfully.

    Yu Qian sneered. "She can actually sleep."

    With that, Yu Qian strode towards Xia Wanyuan''s room.

    Yu Qian pushed open the bedroom door and walked straight in. The bedroom was filled with antique furnishings. The furniture was all expensive sandalwood. There was a bottle of lotus flowers that had just been plucked on the desk.

    Xia Wanyuany on the bed with her clothes on. Hearing Yu Qian enter, Xia Wanyuan turned around. "What''s the matter?"

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s calm expression, Yu Qian frowned slightly. "Aren''t you curious about Jun Shiling''s situation?"

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her eyes. "Will you tell me?"

    "Of course."

    "Then tell me."

    Yu Qian moved a chair and sat by Xia Wanyuan''s bed. "I told him that you look very beautiful under me."

    To Yu Qian''s surprise, even after hearing this, Xia Wanyuan''s expression did not change at all. "So what?"

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Yu Qian. "Even if I am vited, he will still love me as much as ever."

    When Xia Wanyuan said this, her eyes were filled with unhesitating conviction. Yu Qian could not understand. "Haven''t you Chinese always considered yourself to be traditional?? Isn''t it most particr about being together for life? Your current reaction doesn''t look like a Chinese at all."

    At this moment, the confusion in Yu Qian''s eyes was real. He had thought that people with arrogant pride like Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling could not tolerate their lovers being tainted by others the most.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Yu Qian with a hint of pity. "No matter what Jun Shiling bes, I''ll still love him as always, just as he will love me. You''ll never understand."

    Xia Wanyuan''s words seemed to have angered Yu Qian. He waved his hand and a few subordinates instantly walked in. "This woman is your reward."

    The subordinates looked at Yu Qian in horror.

    Everyone had seen Yu Qian''s attitude towards Xia Wanyuan in the past two days. They were even about to think that Xia Wanyuan was the next mistress of the base.

    However, now that Yu Qian had given such an order, everyone looked at each other and hesitated to go forward.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s unmoved expression, anger appeared in Yu Qian''s eyes. "If you don''t go, then go and receive your punishment."

    His subordinates immediately stepped forward and approached Xia Wanyuan.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Not only did Xia Wanyuan not move, but she even nced at these people.

    She was beautiful to begin with. Even a light nce could make the blood of his subordinates boil. Yu Qian sat at the side.

    Seeing that his subordinates'' hands were about to touch Xia Wanyuan''s shoulder, Yu Qian finally stood up. "Get out."

    A subordinate was bewitched by Xia Wanyuan''s appearance and did not notice Yu Qian''s words for a moment. His pinky touched Xia Wanyuan and was kicked to the ground by Yu Qian in the next second.

    Yu Qian''s expression darkened. "The two of you are really good."

    With that, Yu Qian strode away. His subordinates hurriedly followed fearfully. As for the subordinate who had touched Xia Wanyuan, he had just left the room when he was thrown into the punishment room.

    Although Jun Shiling had already gotten someone topletely seal the news, everyone naturally had a guess after not seeing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan appear publicly for so many days.

    The strange illness was finally eliminated, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. In the peaceful world, everyone began to pay attention to all sorts of entertainment news.

    The Oscar award ceremony was about to be held. The promotional videos sent from various countries had already been gathered. Only the promotional video of "Under the Sky" had not been sent over.

    In the studio, Chen Yun was still stunned. Ever since Lu Li disappeared, Xia Wanyuan had also disappeared. He tried to look for Jun Shiling to ask about Xia Wanyuan, but Jun Shiling had disappeared too.

    Chen Yun vaguely felt uneasy. This was too abnormal. There were so many things waiting for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to do in China, but the two of them had disappeared at the same time.

    Just as Chen Yun was deep in thought, Shen Qian walked in. "Mr. Chen."

    "CEO Shen, don''t ask me. I''m also looking for Wanyuan now, but I can''t contact her." Chen Yun was worried.

    "Okay." Shen Qian nodded. "I understand. Don''t be too anxious. I''ll look for her now."

    "Okay."

    Although Xia Wanyuan was not around, he still had to continue with his daily work. The organizers of the Auschwitz Ceremony had already urged him several times. Chen Yun thought for a while and could only rece the scenes about Xia Wanyuan with those in the drama.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did not appear for a long time. Gradually, everyone realized that something was wrong. All sorts of rumors began to appear.

    The fans were worried about Xia Wanyuan and began to seek news of her on Weibo. However, all news of Xia Wanyuan ended a week ago. Then, she seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

    Wei Jin and Mu Feng rushed back to Beijing. Bo Xiao and An Rao had been taking care of Xiao Bao in the hospital.

    After careful treatment by the doctors, Xiao Bao had gradually recovered. His face was rosy and he returned to his usual liveliness.

    Wei Jin and Mu Feng came to see Xiao Bao with snacks and biscuits. Xiao Bao greeted them happily, but after themotion, there was a hint of disappointment in Xiao Bao''s eyes. He looked at Bo Xiao.

    "Uncle Bo, Auntie Wei and Uncle Mu came to visit me. Why didn''t Daddy and Mommye? I miss them." After falling sick, children were easier to stick to their parents. Xiao Bao had not seen Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan for too long. Now, just mentioning the two of them made Xiao Bao''s eyes tear up.

    Bo Xiao stroked Xiao Bao''s head with heartache. "They''re very busy with work. Look, aren''t Uncle Bo and your Auntie An Rao apanying you?"

    Bo Xiao had used such a reason too many times recently. Xiao Bao lowered his head pitifully. "Is it because I''m sick, so Daddy and Mommy don''t want me anymore?"

    At this point, Xiao Bao lifted his sleeve for Bo Xiao to see. "I took injections obediently and drank medicine on time every day. My illness has already recovered. Uncle Bo, tell Daddy and Mommy that I''ll be good and ask them not to leave me, okay?"

    Hearing Xiao Bao''s words, An Rao could not take it anymore. She endured her tears and left.

 Chapter 1440 - 1440 Sensible

    1440 Sensible

    Hearing Xiao Bao¡¯s words, Bo Xiao felt ufortable. He hugged Xiao Bao. ¡°It¡¯s not like that. Do you believe Uncle Bo?¡±

    Xiao Bao shook his head. ¡°Daddy and Mommy lied to me, and Uncle Bo lied to me too.¡±

    Bo Xiao¡¯s heart ached. ¡°I¡¯ll call your father, okay? He didn¡¯t abandon you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Bao nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.

    Bo Xiao called Jun Shiling. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Lin Jing¡¯s voice came from the phone.

    ¡°Lin Jing, how¡¯s Jun Shiling?¡± Bo Xiao stroked Xiao Bao¡¯s hair, signaling him not to be too anxious.

    Lin Jing was silent for a rare moment. ¡°CEO Jun is being treated in the hospital. The doctor said that he¡¯s too depressed.¡±

    Bo Xiao tightened his grip on his phone. ¡°Then tell Xiao Bao.¡±

    By the time he talked to Xiao Bao, Lin Jing had already regained his rationality. He smiled and promised Xiao Bao, ¡°When you wake up tomorrow morning, you can call your father, okay?¡±

    Xiao Bao was skeptical. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Jing nodded. ¡°Really.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Xiao Bao was happy again. He looked at Bo Xiao with curved eyes. ¡°Uncle Bo, can I go out now?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Bo Xiao carried Xiao Bao to the ground. ¡°Our Xiao Bao is already a healthy baby.¡±

    Xiao Bao ran out happily. ¡°I¡¯m home to see Sister!!!¡±

    Xiao Bao was taken away by Old Master Jun. Bo Xiao walked out and gently patted An Rao¡¯s shoulder.

    An Rao turned around and pounced into Bo Xiao¡¯s arms. ¡°What should we do? Will Yuan Yuan be fine?¡±

    Bo Xiao quietly stroked An Rao¡¯s hair. ¡°I¡¯ll contact Jun Shiling when he wakes up. Don¡¯t worry too much now.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Although he said that, An Rao could not help but worry.

    She and Bo Xiao did not know much and did not know where Xia Wanyuan had gone. However, Xia Wanyuan had not returned for so long. She must have encountered a huge danger.

    Night finally fell in Continent F, but the base was like eternal day.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the watch beside her and estimated that she should go to sleep.

    Just as she picked up the towel, the door opened and Yu Qian stood quietly outside.

    Xia Wanyuan ignored him and walked to the side to wet the towel with water, then slowly wiped her face.

    Yu Qian stood at the door for a while. He did not enter and stood there quietly looking at Xia Wanyuan.

    It was only when Xia Wanyuan was already lying on the bed that Yu Qian finally said, ¡°When did you contact each other?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but her expression did not change. ¡°What are you saying? I don¡¯t understand.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t y dumb with me.¡± Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. ¡°Jun Shiling is searching the ground now. It¡¯s impossible for him to find this ce so quickly, unless someone leaked a secret to him. I¡¯ve really underestimated you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan sat up and looked at Yu Qian. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s answer was one word. ¡°You.¡±

    It was clearly an answer that made one¡¯s imagination run wild, but when Yu Qian said this answer, there was no charm in his eyes.

    ¡°Are you done? I¡¯m going to sleep. Please close the door.¡± Xia Wanyuan did not want to talk to Yu Qian anymore. She covered herself with the nket and closed her eyes.

    After a long time, Xia Wanyuan heard Yu Qian take a step back, then the door closed.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly, and a heavy worry appeared in her heart.

    She wondered how Jun Shiling was doing now.

    At this moment, arge number of helicopters were searching the ground.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡¯ve searched this area, but there¡¯s no trace at all.¡± The subordinate came to report. ¡°It looks the same as the previous ces. There¡¯s nothing special. Could we have been misled by the other party?¡±

    Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°Right here.¡±

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan would discuss the art of war together in their free time. Sometimes, when it came to secret signals, the two of them agreed on some special ways to transmit news. Even the pause between words could be used to transmit their news to each other.

    Jun Shiling believed that Xia Wanyuan must be here. He ordered in a low voice, ¡°Here, investigate.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After the subordinate left, Lin Jing brought Jun Shiling¡¯s medicine over. ¡°CEO Jun, take some medicine first.¡±

    Initially, the doctor had already warned Jun Shiling that his body needed to recuperate and that he could not run around outside and tire himself out. However, the moment Jun Shiling opened his eyes, he got off the bed and brought people to look for Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the medicine in front of him, Jun Shiling waved his hand. ¡°Take it away. I¡¯m not drinking it.¡±

    Lin Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Jun Shiling¡¯s phone rang.

    It was Xiao Bao.

    The phone rang for a long time before Jun Shiling finally reached out and pressed the answer button.

    ¡°Daddy!!¡± Finally seeing Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao¡¯s eyes sparkled with joy. ¡°Daddy, when will youe back?? Where¡¯s Mommy??¡±

    Seeing Xiao Bao¡¯s innocent smile, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes finally had some warmth. He looked at Xiao Bao. ¡°Your mother is in danger now. I need to look for her. Will you be good?¡±

    Old Master Jun wanted to stop Jun Shiling from telling Xiao Bao this news, but before he could snatch the phone, Jun Shiling had already finished speaking.

    Shocked by this sudden news, Xiao Bao was stunned for a long time before reacting. ¡°Daddy, what danger did Mommy encounter?¡±

    ¡°She might nevere back.¡±

    Xiao Bao was even more stunned. He held his phone in a daze and looked flustered.

    Jun Shiling looked straight at him. ¡°Will you wait for us toe back obediently?¡±

    Xiao Bao was stunned for a long time before finally nodding heavily. ¡°Mm, Daddy. I¡¯ll wait for you and Mommy toe back together.¡±

    Jun Shiling forced a smile at Xiao Bao. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling hung up.

    On the other hand, Old Master Jun was worried that Xiao Bao would be affected and hurriedly walked over to hug him. ¡°My good Xiao Bao, don¡¯t be sad.¡±

    However, Xiao Bao calmly patted Old Master¡¯s arm and looked straight at him with his round eyes. ¡°Great-grandfather, I¡¯m very obedient. I¡¯m going to study.¡±

    Looking at Xiao Bao¡¯s calm expression, for some reason, Old Master¡¯s eyes suddenly welled up. ¡°Good child, rest for two days. You¡¯ve just been discharged.¡±

    Xiao Bao shook his head and looked at Old Master seriously. ¡°Great-grandfather, I want to be stronger and protect Mommy.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao picked up his school bag and turned to walk upstairs.

    Old Master Jun watched from behind and could not help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

    Xiao Bao carried his heavy school bag upstairs. When he passed the corner, he finally could not help but tear up.

 Chapter 1441 - 1441 Found the Location

    1441 Found the Location

    However, when he entered the room, Xiao Bao had already wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He looked at the teacher in front of him. ¡°Teacher, we can start ss.¡±

    Xiao Bao usually hated math sses the most and always found all sorts of excuses to avoid this ss. Today, he took the initiative to suggest sses, which surprised the teacher. ¡°Little friend, why have you been so obedient recently?¡±

    Xiao Bao smiled at the teacher. ¡°Because I promised Mommy that I would always be very obedient. I have to study hard. When Mommyes back to check my studies, she will definitely praise me.¡±

    The teacher nodded in approval. ¡°Good child, Mrs. Jun will definitely be very relieved to know that you¡¯re so sensible.¡±

    In this lesson, Xiao Bao was quite obedient. Without needing the teacher to remind him, he sat upright and dignified. He answered the questions exined by the teacher seriously.

    Ever since this call, Xiao Bao seemed to have suddenly be the alternate Jun Shiling.

    He was calm and sensitive. Although he was only about five years old, he forced himself to learn all sorts of knowledge ahead of time. No matter which teacher it was, they could clearly sense the change in Xiao Bao.

    Not only was he sensible in school, but when he returned to the manor at night, he would also personally take care of his younger brother.

    Little Jiajin was already very mischievous. Without his parents by his side, a child in swaddling clothes was naturally easily uneasy. He never let the butler and nanny in the manor carry him. Only when Xiao Bao returned home would Little Jiajin stop causing trouble.

    Xiao Bao was worried about his younger brother, so he could only bring Little Jiajin along to school every day. Little Jiajin was very clingy to Xiao Bao. When he was asleep, he had to hold the corner of his brother¡¯s shirt and smile at him when he was awake.

    Not to mention Old Master Jun, even the servants in the manor could not help but tear up every time they saw the two children leaning against each other.

    In the bedroom, although Little Jiajin was young, he seemed to have sensed something and was much quieter.

    Xiao Bao held his brother¡¯s hand and gently patted his face. ¡°You have to grow up quickly. Mommy is waiting for us to protect her.¡±

    Little Jiajin¡¯s eyes looked very much like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s. He loved to smile, and when he smiled, it always reminded Xia Wanyuan of how she always spoke to him gently. Thinking of this, Xiao Bao could not help but secretly wipe his tears.

    ¡°I wonder where Mommy went. I miss her so much. Do you think Mommy wille back when you grow up?¡±

    Little Jiajin looked at Xiao Bao with red eyes in a daze. He did not know if Little Jiajin understood, but Xiao Bao¡¯s hand was held tightly by Little Jiajin.

    Sensing his brother holding his hand, Xiao Bao blinked and smiled at him. ¡°You¡¯re so obedient now. If only Mommy could see you like this.¡±

    Outside the door, Jun Shiling had returned at some point in time. He did not know how long he had been back. He stood quietly by the door and watched the scene in the room for a long time.

    After a long time, Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep with his brother in his arms. Only then did Jun Shiling slowly walk over and cover Xiao Bao with the nket.

    Little Jiajin was not asleep yet. He opened his eyes and secretly smiled at Jun Shiling. His wet eyes looked very much like Xia Wanyuan¡¯s faint smile.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s hand that was pulling the nket paused. He pursed his lips and finally strode out of the room.

    The time of the Oscar Ceremony was gradually advancing. Outstanding television dramas from all over the world participated in the award evaluation, and all the major television dramas received heated discussions from the audience.

    As the ending of the television drama ¡°Under the Sky¡± arrived, the poprity of the entire television drama exploded.

    On the day of its ending, ¡°Under the Sky¡± became the most popr television drama in the world.

    At the beginning of the year, everyone predicted that this year¡¯s godly drama would still be ¡°Ice¡±.

    However, ¡°Under the Sky¡±¡®s performance was too eye-catching. Not only did it make the audience crazy, but it also made investors and industry insiders flock to it.

    Not only did it have a powerful ability to attract audiences, but it also had a highmercial value. The television drama drove the continuous output of the entire Chinese culture, pushing the once ignored Chinese culture to the world stage again and attracting the world¡¯s attention.

    The quality of the television drama itself was already quite good. In addition to such a huge poprity bonus, everyone predicted that the best television drama award in the world at this Osmond Ceremony might be awarded to ¡°Under the Sky¡±.

    There was a heated discussion both domestically and abroad. Everyone¡¯s focus was on the television drama and Xia Wanyuan.

    [ Xia Wanyuan should be able to win the Best Director, Best TV Series, and Best Female Lead Awards in the world. Let me say something first. Her performance in this television drama is too stunning. I haven¡¯t watched television dramas for too many years, but I wait anxiously for this drama every day. ]

    [ Surely not. They might not be able to win an award at the Oscar Ceremony even if they work hard their entire lives. Do you still expect Xia Wanyuan to win a grand m? ]

    [ To be honest, Xia Wanyuan is really amazing and beautiful. I¡¯m about to cry from her beauty. My next tourist project will be Beijing. I want to see Xia Wanyuan with my own eyes. ]

    The Inte circled around, but it did not affect reality at all. After leaving the Inte world, reality still operated in its own way.

    At this moment, in Continent F, after a day and night of searching, Jun Shiling finally found a clue.

    The subordinates flipped through the satellite images for nearly ten years and finally realized that thetest unmanned invisibility ne had appeared at the edge of an inconspicuous fishing vige.

    Following this clue, everyone gradually found the difference between the fishing vige and the outside world. Although this ce was remote, thetest weapons often appeared. Many people fromrge factions had once appeared here, and it really did not match the simple appearance of the fishing vige.

    After confirming the approximate location, Jun Shiling did not wait at all. He got someone to set up the entire fishing vige with the most advanced weapons and surrounded nearly a hundred kilometers here, waiting for Yu Qian toe out.

    Soon, Yu Qian received a letter.

    Looking at the threat in the letter, the corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I really underestimated you. I didn¡¯t expect him to find this ce so quickly after you called him. Looks like I should get someone to poison you until you¡¯re mute. This way, will you know your ce?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. Yu Qian wanted to say something more, but another letter was sent in.

    This time, Yu Qian only took a nce and his gaze instantly turned cold.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

 Chapter 1442 Meeting

    The things in the letter were a few photos. These photos were taken of Yu Qian''s people sending Wei Zimu''s corpse back to China.

    It had been a long time since that time. Yu Qian did not expect Jun Shiling''s people to discover these things.

    Wei Zimu was born and raised in China. He had a deep attachment to China. Later on, he had been following Yu Qian in Continent F. Although Wei Zimu did not say it directly, Wei Zimu had found a cemetery in China when he was alive.

    Before Wei Zimu died, he had once said that he did not want to be buried in Continent F. He wanted to return to China. He wanted to be buried in the mountains and rivers, bathe in the sunlight, be a bright star, and look at everything in China forever.

    Yu Qian agreed.

    Hence, the tomb in the base was only filled with Wei Zimu''s clothes andmon items. His real corpse had been secretly sent to China.

    He had thought that it was impossible for anyone to discover it, but Jun Shiling still found out where Wei Zimu was really buried.

    Looking at the address and name in the letter, Yu Qian''s expression darkened. "He''s really good."

    "What did he say?"

    Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan. "He wants to see you."

    Xia Wanyuan thought that Yu Qian would not let her leave, but to her surprise, Yu Qian called his subordinate over and instructed him to bring Xia Wanyuan to the surface to see Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian in confusion. "Are you really bringing me up?"

    Yu Qian nodded, but there was a smile in his eyes that Xia Wanyuan could not understand. "Of course. How can I stop you and your husband from meeting?"

    With that, Yu Qian turned around and walked out. Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment before leaving with Yu Qian.

    At this moment, on the ground, Lin Jing was reporting the search to Jun Shiling.

    "We can basically confirm his location. Our people have set up the weapons. As long as Yu Qian shows his head, we''re confident in destroying his base."

    Hearing this news, Jun Shiling''s eyes were not filled with joy.

    He felt a little uneasy. Although this search had consumed a lot of energy, that person was Yu Qian, K, who had been hidden for so many years and had never been discovered. Now that he had been found so easily, Jun Shiling felt that something was wrong.

    Just as he was deep in thought, someone came in to report, "CEO Jun, Yu Qian brought people up. Madam is beside him."

    Jun Shiling suddenly stood up. "Let''s go."

    The meeting was on the beach by the sea. Yu Qian''s ship had sailed over from somewhere. He stood at the bow of the ship, beside Xia Wanyuan, whom he had not seen for many days.

    Even from afar, Jun Shiling could feel Xia Wanyuan''s gentle gaze on him.

    When the boat gradually approached, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with even more heartache. Xia Wanyuan was really too thin.

    Yu Qian nced to the side. Sensing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan looking at each other from afar, he snorted softly. "Does she look good?"

    Xia Wanyuan still had doubts. "You want to let me leave?"

    "Mm." Yu Qian''s expression did not look fake. He nodded calmly. "I''ll hand the choice to you. You can choose freely."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan''s doubts increased. The ship gradually docked. As Xia Wanyuan thought about Yu Qian''s n, she ran towards Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling opened his arms and hugged Xia Wanyuan.

    Finally, he felt the familiar warmth again. Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan very tightly. "I miss you so much."

    Xia Wanyuan retreated slightly and touched Jun Shiling''s chin. Jun Shiling had also lost a lot of weight, and there was obvious fatigue between his eyebrows. Looking at the redness in his eyes, Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling must have not slept the entire night. Heartache shed across her eyes. "You''re so haggard."

    Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan gently on the cheek with endless longing. "Are you despising me now?"

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head, a smile finally appearing in her eyes. She hugged Jun Shiling''s lean waist. "No, I miss you too."

    Jun Shiling''s fiery gaze enveloped Xia Wanyuan, and his eyes seemed to be burning with mes. As he looked at Xia Wanyuan, he gently stroked her hair. Their eyes intertwined, as if they wanted to exin their longing for the past few days.

    "Can the two of you talk about serious matters?" Yu Qian suddenly spoke, waking the two of them up from their thoughts.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan turned around at the same time. Jun Shiling protected Xia Wanyuan behind him and looked straight at Yu Qian. "What do you want? You can name your conditions. I''ll agree to any condition."

    Yu Qian touched the ring on his hand. His gaze swept across Jun Shiling andnded on Xia Wanyuan.

    Sensing Yu Qian''s gaze, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan closer. He frowned. "You don''t care about your subordinates at all?"

    Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had already controlled a portion of Yu Qian''s elites, including a portion of the important business routes in Yu Qian''s hands. As long as Jun Shiling gave the order, the power in Yu Qian''s hands would be greatly affected.

    Yu Qian''s expression was calm. He looked at Jun Shiling quietly. "Do you know? In this world, some people develop their power for money. Some people do it for power. Do you know what I''m doing it for?"

    Jun Shiling''s eyes narrowed. His expression darkened. He clearly knew what Yu Qian meant.

    Yu Qian smiled. "You''re right. I didn''t do it for anything. I was just bored and casually fiddled with something. Even if you kill them all today, I won''t mind."

    Jun Shiling looked straight at Yu Qian, his eyes dark. Just as Yu Qian had said, be it people seeking money or power, they were not scary. The most terrifying person was someone like Yu Qian.

    He did not ask for anything, which meant that he was not afraid of anything. He did not have any weaknesses or points that could threaten him.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan, who had been standing behind Jun Shiling, stood up and looked at Yu Qian. "If you don''t care about money and power, are you willing to be someone else''s ything and experiment again after losing all your power?"

    Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Yu Qian''s expression froze slightly.

    He thought of the tragic memories from more than ten years ago, the lives of being locked in theboratory like livestock.

    Yu Qian''s expression began to turn ugly. He stared into Xia Wanyuan''s eyes, which seemed to be poisoned. "Then we can try who will be that ything today."

    Looking at Yu Qian''s expression, Xia Wanyuan felt a little uneasy.

    "I''ll ask you again. Hand her over." Jun Shiling looked at Yu Qian, wanting to force him to hand over Little Xiaxia''s whereabouts.

    Yu Qian smiled. "Impossible."

    At that moment, countless red dots aimed at him.

 Chapter 1443 - 1443 Transaction

    1443 Transaction

    At the same time, the people lying in ambush appeared and aimed their guns at Yu Qian.

    The people behind Yu Qian wanted to raise their guns to face the enemy, but they realized that their side was already controlled. Countless red dotsnded on their bodies, as if if they dared to move, they would be pierced in the next second.

    Yu Qian had the most red dots on him, but he did not panic at all. He stood there quietly and looked at Jun Shiling with a calm gaze.

    ¡°Jun Shiling, do you know that I¡¯ve always hated you the most?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s gaze wandered between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. After a while, he spat out a sentence.

    Jun Shiling looked back at Yu Qian. ¡°I know, so what?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Yu Qian smiled and looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully. ¡°How about we make a deal?¡±

    ¡°What deal?¡±

    ¡°Ten years,¡± Yu Qian said as he looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Let your wife apany me for ten years, and I¡¯ll give this to you.¡±

    Just as Yu Qian finished speaking, everyone could clearly feel the coldness released by Jun Shiling. It was like an endless ck cloud, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.

    Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes. ¡°What makes you think I¡¯ll agree?¡±

    Yu Qian smiled and threw the thing in his hand in front of Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling reached out to take it.

    He opened it and his expression changed slightly. Even Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression became much more serious.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. He crushed the thing in his hand and looked at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I only want you.¡±

    As if he was a little surprised by Jun Shiling¡¯s answer, Yu Qian tilted his head slightly. ¡°CEO Jun, as far as I know, your level is not low. I wonder how your people will react when they know that the CEO Jun they admire actually ignored their lives?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not look at Yu Qian. He looked into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I just want you to go back.¡±

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s silent side profile, Yu Qian pped his hands. A child¡¯s cry suddenly came from behind.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling looked behind Yu Qian at the same time. Little Xiaxia was crying with red and swollen eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes widened. She looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Why is the child with him? Where¡¯s Jiajin?¡±

    ¡°Jiajin is at home.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Little Xiaxia and then at Jun Shiling. She suddenly pinched Jun Shiling¡¯s arm heavily.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s heart sank. ¡°No.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    Now that all sides were in chaos, if the world continued to develop like this, it would definitely be a huge powder keg that would explode at any time.

    Other than Little Xiaxia, there was another reason why Xia Wanyuan wanted to agree to Yu Qian¡¯s deal.

    If it was not destroyed, it would not be established. Now that the three sides of the world were unhindered, it might be better to take the initiative to find an opportunity.

    Yu Qian was in the most dangerous ce and also an opportunity.

    Most importantly, Xia Wanyuan realized that Yu Qian really did not seem to hurt her life. Xia Wanyuan decided to take a gamble.

    She looked at Jun Shiling steadily. Without words between the two of them, Jun Shiling already knew all her thoughts.

    He knew that with Xia Wanyuan¡¯s personality, she was destined not to watch the people suffer and stay out of it. Even if he persuaded her, it would not change anything.

    Not far away, Little Xiaxia was still crying.

    After some time, Jun Shiling finally nodded. At the same time, his finger gently stuffed a chip into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sleeve.

 Chapter 1444 Sensible

    Looking at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan lingering, Yu Qian snorted softly. "Why? Are you preparing to stay here for the rest of your life?"

    Xia Wanyuan nodded at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling''s eyes were already red. He hugged Xia Wanyuan onest time. "I''ll pick you up and bring you home."

    Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling, tiptoed, and kissed him on the cheek.

    Yu Qian had already gotten someone to carry Little Xiaxia away. Seeing that the ship was about to leave the coast, Xia Wanyuan made up her mind. "Don''t worry, I can take good care of myself."

    Jun Shiling did not ask Xia Wanyuan to stay. He stood by the beach and quietly watched her leave. The setting sun was abnormally beautiful that day. Under the multicolored light, Xia Wanyuan gradually disappeared from his sight.

    Yu Qian sat on the boat with Little Xiaxia in his arms. Looking at Xia Wanyuan walking over, the corners of Yu Qian''s lips curled up slightly. "Look, your so-called true love is nothing much. No matter what reason it is, didn''t he still abandon you in the end?"

    Xia Wanyuan stood on the deck and looked in Jun Shiling''s direction from afar. "You''ll never understand."

    To her and Jun Shiling, the most important thing was no longer whether they guarded each other. She knew very well that Jun Shiling would always wait for her, so she had the confidence to leave with Yu Qian.

    Knowing that someone was waiting, this kind of departure was not painful. Leaving without anyone waiting was the most terrifying.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s confident side profile, displeasure appeared in Yu Qian''s eyes. His grip on Little Xiaxia tightened slightly.

    Little Xiaxia felt a little painful from his grip and subconsciously snorted twice. Only then did Yu Qian rx Little Xiaxia''s arm. He sneered. "Naive, you don''t understand men."

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Yu Qian. "I don''t need to understand others. I just need to understand Jun Shiling."

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly. He snorted softly and ced Little Xiaxia in Xia Wanyuan''s arms, then left the deck. No matter how one looked at his back, he looked a little angry.

    At this moment, on the coast, thest corner of the setting sun was hidden in the deep clouds. The moon hung high, and Jun Shiling was still standing on the spot. He looked into the distance quietly with an unknown expression. Even Lin Jing, who was the best at guessing Jun Shiling, was a little unclear what Jun Shiling was thinking.

    Seeing time pass minute by minute, Lin Jing could not help but walk forward. "CEO Jun."

    Jun Shiling replied and retracted his gaze from afar. Then, he turned around. "Let''s go."

    Lin Jing looked at Jun Shiling''s expression worriedly, but he realized that Jun Shiling was neither sad nor happy, as if nothing had happened. Furthermore, for some reason, Lin Jing felt that he was a little familiar.

    After following Jun Shiling for a few steps, Lin Jing suddenly thought of why he felt familiar.

    In the past two years, Jun Shiling, who had been with Xia Wanyuan, had been too rich in the mortal world. Lin Jing had almost forgotten what Jun Shiling had been like in the past.

    And today, the original Jun Shiling was back.

    He seemed to be in control of everything, but he also seemed to have lost interest in everything. It was as if the center of his entire person had been pulled out, leaving only that shell and his soul as nothingness.

    Lin Jing sighed silently in his heart. He sincerely hoped that Xia Wanyuan could return as soon as possible. To be honest, he really could not stand Jun Shiling like this.<novelnext></novelnext>

    If Xia Wanyuan had never appeared and he had not felt that contrast, it would have been fine. However, Xia Wanyuan had once stayed in Jun Shiling''s world. She had brought Jun Shiling so much life and warmth. Now that Xia Wanyuan had left, Jun Shiling had be cold again.

    Thinking of Old Master Jun, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Jiajin in Beijing, Lin Jing sighed in his heart. How did such a good family end up like this?

    In the manor, Little Jiajin was especially mischievous tonight. No matter how Xiao Bao coaxed him, he was unwilling to sleep, let alone allow the butler and servants to approach. As long as outsiders approached, Little Jiajin would cry.

    It was not untilte at night that Little Jiajin fell asleep to Xiao Bao''s singing.

    Xiao Bao touched his brother''s eyshes and pursed his lips sadly. "Brother, when do you think Daddy and Mommy will be able toe back?"

    Little Jiajin did not speak andy peacefully, as if nothing could disturb him. His curled eyshes gently swept across his face, attracting Xiao Bao''s interest.

    Little Jiajin seemed to have sensed that someone was teasing him. He subconsciously waved his hand and inadvertently held Xiao Bao.

    Feeling the small force transmitted from his brother''s hand, Xiao Bao''s heart inexplicably ached. He pinched Little Jiajin''s face. "Fortunately, you''re with me. Otherwise, I wouldn''t know what to do."

    At this moment, Xiao Bao acutely heard a car enter the courtyard outside. He was too familiar with Jun Shiling''s car. Just from the sound, he knew that Jun Shiling was back.

    Xiao Bao gently pulled his hand out of Little Jiajin''s fist. He ran downstairs excitedly and saw Jun Shiling walking in.

    Xiao Bao ran towards Jun Shiling. "Daddy!!!"

    Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up and touched his face. "Why aren''t you asleep?"

    Xiao Bao kept looking behind Jun Shiling. "Daddy, didn''t Uncle Bo Xiao say that you went to look for Mommy? Why isn''t Mommy back?"

    Hearing Xiao Bao''s words, Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. He looked at Xiao Bao''s expectant eyes and ced him on the ground. Then, he squatted down and spoke to Xiao Bao.

    "Your mother has something on and won''t be back for a while."

    "How long?" Xiao Bao''s eyes were filled with confusion.

    "Maybe a few years." When he said this, Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xiao Bao''s shoulder, making it hurt.

    However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to care if he hurt. There were already tears in Xiao Bao''s eyes. "Daddy, did something happen to Mommy?"

    Jun Shiling pulled Xiao Bao into his arms and gently stroked his head. "No, when you grow up, she''ll definitelye back."

    Xiao Bao broke free from Jun Shiling''s arms and ran upstairs. After a while, Xiao Bao took out his school bag and ced arge pile of awards and all sorts of books and exercise books.

    "Daddy, I''ve already grown up. I know how to be sensible. Look at how obedient I''ve been recently. I earned many little red flowers. Mommy said that if I can get ten little red flowers this semester, she''ll apany me to the amusement park. Can you let Mommye back? I won''t make her angry anymore."

 Chapter 1445 Grief

    Seeing Xiao Bao constantly take out little red flowers from his school bag, even someone as determined as Jun Shiling could not withstand such a scene.

    He turned his head and sighed deeply. "Daddy promises you that when you grow up, Mommy will definitelye back, okay?"

    "Really?" Xiao Bao widened his eyes and looked at Jun Shiling nkly.

    "Mm." Jun Shiling nodded. "Daddy promises you."

    Only then did Xiao Bao put the things back into his school bag bit by bit. "Daddy, let''s go to sleep?"

    "Okay."

    Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up. "Have you been obedient in school recently?"

    "There are so many little red flowers. Of course I''m good." Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling''s neck. "Daddy, can you sleep with me today?"

    Jun Shiling nodded. "Sure."

    Xiao Bao''s eyes curved up slightly. After Jun Shiling washed up with Xiao Bao, he told him a story for a while. Xiao Bao was still awake.

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s cold side profile, Xiao Bao wanted to push his luck. He looked at the Ultraman toy not far away. "Daddy, can you let Ultraman sleep beside me tonight? I''m afraid of little monsters."

    Jun Shiling, who had never allowed Xiao Bao to bring toys to bed, agreed to Xiao Bao''s request for the first time today. He even got out of bed and brought Xiao Bao''s toys over himself.

    "Daddy." Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling.

    "Mm." Looking at Xiao Bao''s innocent and pure appearance, Jun Shiling''s heart ached. He felt that he had let Xiao Bao down.

    Xiao Bao had lost his mother since he was born and had lived alone for so long. It was not easy for him to have Xia Wanyuan''spany, and now, he was forced to ept her departure.

    If he could not take it, how could a four or five-year-old child like Xiao Bao take it?

    "Daddy, why are you so good to me today?" Seeing that Jun Shiling had really begun to y with his Ultraman doll, Xiao Bao asked curiously, "You never let me y with toys at night in the past."

    "Mm," Jun Shiling replied softly.

    "Daddy?" Xiao Bao looked up at Jun Shiling in confusion, only to see that Jun Shiling''s eyes were red and clearly bloodshot. Xiao Bao blinked. "Daddy, why are your eyes red?"

    "I''m sleepy." Jun Shiling forced a smile at Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao lowered his head, sadness shing across his eyes.

    Daddy lied to me. Daddy isn''t sleepy. He clearly misses Mommy.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Looking at Xiao Bao''s disappointed expression with his head lowered, Jun Shiling could not bear it. He reached out and stroked Xiao Bao''s hair. "Good boy, can you sleep?"

    Xiao Bao looked up and smiled at Jun Shiling. Unfortunately, his eyes were red. Even if he smiled, one could see the sadness in his eyes. "Daddy, I love you."

    The corners of Jun Shiling''s lips curled up slightly as he reached out to hug Xiao Bao. "Good boy, Daddy loves you very much too."

    The next morning, Jun Shiling sent Xiao Bao to kindergarten and went straight to thepany.

    Seeing Jun Shiling return, the employees were very happy. After all, during this period of time, Jun Shiling had disappeared and there were rumors everywhere that the Jun Corporation was about to go bankrupt. Now that Jun Shiling was back, the rumors would definitely be broken.

    Watching Jun Shiling leave coldly, everyone felt that something was wrong.

    "Don''t you think there''s something wrong with CEO Jun?" The receptionist looked at Jun Shiling thoughtfully. "Why is it so cold?"

    "I think so too... To put it bluntly, CEO Jun is a little simr to two years ago. He seems to be even colder than two years ago. Did he quarrel with Madam??"

    "Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, she hasn''t appeared in a long time. I heard that the name list for the Oscar Ceremony has been released. ''Under the Sky'' has been nominated. The other main leads have already gone to America, but I haven''t seen Xia Wanyuan."

    At this moment, on the Inte, theizens were also looking for Xia Wanyuan.

    Her social tform had not been updated for a long time, and she was not among the people who went to the Oscar ceremony. The fans were very worried about Xia Wanyuan''s situation.

    Now that Jun Shiling was back, Xia Wanyuan still did not appear. All sorts of disputes arose.

    Under the guidance of the fake reviewers, a strange saying began to be popr online.

    Some marketing ounts connected that flight to the subsequent virus outbreak.

    "Do you know why Xia Wanyuan went missing? Because Xia Wanyuan was arrested. Do you remember Wei Zimu, who was very close to Xia Wanyuan back then? This is an explosive news on the dark web. This Wei Zimu is the internationally famous K, who lives at the top of the world''s arrest list. Now that I think about it, everything can be connected.

    Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu conspired to transmit the virus to us. Now that the matter has been exposed, even someone as powerful as Jun Shiling can''t save his wife from prison."

    [ Can the marketing ount''s words be more reasonable?? With so many things Xia Wanyuan has done in the past, every one of them is for China. Do you think she caused the entire incident? How is that possible? ]

    [ I actually quite believe it. The stranger the thing, the more likely it is to be true. However, Xia Wanyuan is too heartless... She even used her child. ]

    [ It''s too disgusting. How can Xia Wanyuan be such a person?? The marketing ount doesn''t even care about its face for poprity. I won''t believe this even if you beat me to death. ]

    The Inte was in chaos, but there was still no news from Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, the Oscar Ceremony overseas began.

 Chapter 1446 - 1446 Unprecedented Superstar

    1446 Unprecedented Superstar

    The Oscar Ceremony was a worldwide ceremony that was held every year. A television drama that could be nominated at such a worldwide ceremony could be valued in the film industry after returning to China.

    Not to mention a work that could win an award at the Oscars. As long as one could win an award at the Oscar, it meant that they had obtained the recognition of the world¡¯s highest award.

    Until now, no television drama in China had ever received this honor. A few years ago, a television drama had only been nominated at a ceremony. After returning to China, it was regarded as the future king of the film and television industry. The main leads in the television drama had even been nominated for the ¡°Oscar Ceremony¡± and became the favorite of various production teams. From then on, they became popr in the domestic film and television industry.

    This was something countless people in the film and television industry dreamed of. Many people were willing to spend millions to show their faces at this ceremony.

    The reason why this award was recognized worldwide was not only because of its professionalism, but also because this ceremony was rtively fair.

    Many other award ceremonies would more or less be unfair because of the actors¡¯ reputation, the production team¡¯s background, the involvement of capital, and so on.

    However, the Oscar Ceremony was different. Its judges came from a hundred countries in the world. In order to prevent the judges from being bribed, the participation bonus for this ceremony was quite high. To the judges, the award was not to earn money, but to be famous and be the Bole who discovered the thousand-mile horse.

    [ I¡¯m so excited, so excited. ¡°Under the Sky¡±, go for it! None of our television dramas have won the Gold Award for the Oscar ceremony. I wonder if China¡¯s television dramas can work hard this time. ]

    [ It¡¯s best not to have too much hope¡­ Foreign countries have always discriminated against us. It¡¯s enough that we know that ¡°Under the Sky¡± is very good. Why should we ask for foreign approval? Previously, several television dramas were filmed very well. Weren¡¯t they rejected by their judges just because they were Chinese¡­ Of course it¡¯s good to be chosen. If not, I hope everyone won¡¯t be too harsh on Xia Wanyuan and the rest. ]

    [ I agree. I think Xia Wanyuan¡¯s television drama is already filmed very well. Regardless of whether this Oscar ceremony awards her or not, in my heart, this television drama is already the best of the year. ]

    Even though many people abroad were biased against Chinese works because of cultural differences, everyone had to admit the sess of ¡°Under the Sky¡± this time.

    This year, more than ten television dramas had been nominated for the Best Movie and Television Series. They were all rtively outstanding works worldwide, but ¡°Under the Sky¡± and ¡°Ice¡± were the most discussed and popr. The audience guessed that the final winner might be chosen between these two.

    The main production team of ¡°Under the Sky¡± had already arrived at the ceremony venue. Following the host¡¯s announcement, everyone slowly entered. Chen Yun led the team, followed by some production team staff.

    Everyone looked around but did not see the main lead of this television drama. What was even stranger was that

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did note.

    Not only was Xia Wanyuan the director of the television drama, but she was also the main lead. As the core figure of the television drama, everyone might have a reason not toe, but not Xia Wanyuan. Looking at the empty seat, everyone had mixed feelings.

    Everyone knew that an important business meeting was being held in Beijing that day. Jun Shiling was a participant, so it was understandable that he did not attend the Oscar ceremony. However, as the director and main lead, Xia Wanyuan should have arrived.

    [ F*ck, I still don¡¯t see Xia Wanyuan. Where did she go??? I haven¡¯t seen her in a long time. Today¡¯s ceremony is so important. Shouldn¡¯t she be at the venue? ]

    [ Sigh, if Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯te, I feel that it¡¯s meaningless even if she wins an award. Has CEO Jun¡¯s condition been very wrong recently? He feels as cold as a piece of ice. I¡¯m afraid just looking at him. ]

    [ Whether something happened to Xia Wanyuan or not, you have to let us know¡­ We can¡¯t just let such a living person disappear? ]

    [ I heard from a certain grapevine that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan have really divorced¡­ They said that Xia Wanyuan was too sad and left with her daughter. Now that the Jun family only has one son, her daughter and Xia Wanyuan have disappeared, so CEO Jun has been in such a bad state recently. ]

    There were all sorts of heated discussions on the Inte. At the ceremony venue, the host had already begun to announce the final destination of the various awards.

    ¡°Congrattions to ¡®Under the Sky¡¯ for winning the Best Drama Award.¡±

    There was thunderous apuse. On the big stage screen, Xia Wanyuan flew across the mountains in white, stunning everyone at the ceremony.

    Chen Yun went forward to receive the award on behalf of the entire production team. Before he could walk off the stage with the medal, the host¡¯s voice sounded again.

    ¡°Congrattions to ¡®Under the Sky¡¯ for winning the Best Clothing Design Award.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for bing Oscar¡¯s lifetime achievement director.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions to Xia Wanyuan for winning the Best Actress of the Year.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­.

    In the end, Chen Yun could not even take down the medal in his hand. The entire stage seemed to have be the special venue of ¡°Under the Sky¡±, making the others envious and helpless.

    The domesticizens were already overjoyed.

    In the past, if China¡¯s television dramas or movies could win any award at a world-ss ceremony abroad, they could brag about it for the rest of their lives. Now, ¡°Under the Sky¡± had won nearly ten awards. Not only did this create China¡¯s history, but it also created the history of world television dramas.

    [ Xia Wanyuan is amazing!!! Why is she so amazing at everything? If I remember correctly, this is Xia Wanyuan¡¯s first time being a director. ]

    [ Have you realized that if the world-ss Best Actress award she won in ¡°Eldest Princess¡± is included, Xia Wanyuan has already be an unprecedented grand m person in the history of the world who won all the major awards in the television and film world? ]

    [She¡¯s undoubtedly a world-ss superstar¡­ She¡¯s amazing. Someone actually defamed such a person for colluding with K. I really don¡¯t know where the intelligence of those cerebral palsyizens grew.]

    ¡°Under the Sky¡± was already very popr and popr enough. Now that it had won so many awards in an unprecedented manner, its poprity abroad continued to increase. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name also resounded worldwide, crazily gathering fans worldwide.

    It was clearly something to be happy about, but there was no happy atmosphere in the entire studio.

    In the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was reading documents in his office when the door suddenly burst open and Xuan Sheng walked in angrily.

 Chapter 1447 - 1447 Little Xiaxia

    1447 Little Xiaxia

    Jun Shiling had just looked up when Xuan Sheng¡¯s fist swung over.

    Jun Shiling did not dodge and took Xuan Sheng¡¯s punch. Lin Jing rushed to the door with his men. Jun Shiling gave them a look and everyone retreated.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan??¡± Xuan Sheng tugged at Jun Shiling¡¯s tie, his eyes red. ¡°Why didn¡¯t shee back when you came back? She used herself to exchange for your life, right?¡±

    Jun Shiling brushed Xuan Sheng¡¯s hand away. ¡°Is there anything else?¡±

    Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°What did you say back then? You said that you would always protect her, but in the end??¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. His throat rolled slightly, and his eyes were red. ¡°I didn¡¯t protect her well.¡±

    Seeing Jun Shiling like this, Xuan Sheng clenched his fists and wanted to step forward again, but Jun Shiling stopped him. ¡°I¡¯m going to work. Go out.¡±

    ¡°Work?¡± Xuan Sheng sneered. ¡°You¡¯re still the head of the Jun family who¡¯s busy every day. At a time like this, you only know how to work. Xia Wanyuan must be blind to fancy a man like you.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression was cold as he stared into Xuan Sheng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Who revealed the news to you?¡±

    Xuan Sheng narrowed his peach blossom eyes. ¡°Who leaked the news to me? At this point of time, CEO Jun, are you still going to find the person and punish him? You have a big temper.¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xuan Sheng. ¡°Tell me, someone deliberately leaked the news to you, right?¡±

    He had just returned not long ago when the news was leaked. There was a mole beside him.

    Xuan Sheng quickly reacted to Jun Shiling¡¯s concerns, but now, he could not be bothered to care if anyone was monitoring Jun Shiling. What he was most concerned about now was, ¡°Where did Xia Wanyuan go? When will she be back?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Ten years.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Xuan Sheng raised his voice. ¡°Ten years?! CEO Jun, you¡¯re really calm!!¡±

    After Xuan Sheng finished speaking, Jun Shiling did not answer.

    Xuan Sheng wanted to say something else, but when he met Jun Shiling¡¯s gloomy eyes, he fell silent.

    He was not stupid. The pain from Jun Shiling¡¯s bones was so real that he could feel it. He was very familiar with the despair that pierced through everything.

    However, this could not let him let go of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s disappearance.

    ¡°I need you to help me.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xuan Sheng. ¡°I need to build enough strength to let Xia Wanyuane back.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Xuan Sheng looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°What makes you think I¡¯ll help you?¡±

    Jun Shiling did not speak. He only walked to the desk and brought a document to Xuan Sheng.

    Xuan Sheng took a look and snorted softly. ¡°You¡¯re already so prepared. You don¡¯t have to look for me.¡±

    ¡°If you¡¯re really unwilling, I won¡¯t force you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng took the document in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m not helping you. I just want to find Xia Wanyuan as soon as possible.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng shook off Jun Shiling¡¯s hand and turned to leave.

    After Xuan Sheng left, Jun Shiling stood with his head lowered for a while. He quickly picked up the documents on the ground and started working again.

    Only with enough strength could Yu Qian be intimidated. If he only indulged in sorrow every day, Xia Wanyuan would really not be able toe back.

    The lights in the office were still on the entire night.

    At this moment, in Continent F¡¯s base, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s room was also lit.

    Little Xiaxia was brought back to the base, but Yu Qian did not let Xia Wanyuane into contact with her. Little Xiaxia had nothing to do with Wei Zimu, so she would not let Yu Qian have any scruples. Xia Wanyuan was too worried about the child, so she tossed and turned and could not sleep at all.

    On the other side of the base, Little Xiaxia, who usually slept with her brother ory peacefully in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s arms, was crying with her eyes closed because she could not feel a familiar aura. It was so noisy that the servants did not know what to do.

    ¡°Little ancestor, can you stop crying? Auntie will buy you candy.¡±

    ¡°Wah.¡± Little Xiaxia cried even more.

    ¡°Little princess, do you think this toy looks good? y with it and stop crying, okay?¡±

    Little Xiaxia nced at the toy. The servant¡¯s eyes lit up. She felt that there was a chance. Just as she was about to put the toy in Little Xiaxia¡¯s arms, Little Xiaxia cried again.

    Seeing that Little Xiaxia¡¯s voice was about to turn hoarse from crying, everyone had no choice but to look for Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian was reading in the study. When he heard his subordinate¡¯s report, he asked the servant to carry Little Xiaxia over.

    Before anyone could approach, Little Xiaxia¡¯s loud cry was already heard. Yu Qian had always hated noise. Now, he frowned slightly and was clearly impatient.

    The servant knelt on the ground in fear. ¡°Boss, she keeps crying. It¡¯s useless no matter how we coax her.¡±

    Yu Qian put down his book and took a few steps towards Little Xiaxia.

    As if sensing something, Little Xiaxia¡¯s cries became softer. She opened her eyes slightly and saw an extremely beautiful person standing in front of her.

    Little Xiaxia was stunned for a moment and forgot to cry. She looked at Yu Qian curiously with her big eyes.

    Little Xiaxia was a miniature version of Xia Wanyuan. The difference was that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with wisdom and intelligence from experiencing the world, while in Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyes, it was like a natural spring in the mountains. One could see the bottom at a nce, clear and innocent.

    Yu Qian looked at Little Xiaxia quietly for a while. ¡°Isn¡¯t she not crying anymore? Carry her down.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The servants hurriedly carried Little Xiaxia away. However, just as they stood up, Little Xiaxia began to cry again.

    The servants turned around and Little Xiaxia stopped crying.

    After repeating this twice, a bold servant stepped forward and spoke to Yu Qian. ¡°Boss, this child seems to want to stay with you.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­-

 Chapter 1448 Companion

    Yu Qian frowned slightly and nced at Little Xiaxia.

    Little Xiaxia only felt that the person in front of her was good-looking. She opened her bright eyes and looked at Yu Qian in a daze.

    At this moment, she did not know how to express her intentions and could only hum and wave her hand.

    After a while, Yu Qian finally said, "Put her on the soft couch over there."

    "Yes."

    After the servant ced Little Xiaxia in the room, she quickly left. Yu Qian wanted to continue reading, but Little Xiaxia began to groan, as if she was about to cry in the next second. She blinked, and the little golden bean circled her eyes, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

    Yu Qian had always been focused on his work. Nothing could disturb him when he was reading.

    Seeing Little Xiaxia whining and crying, the subordinates were quite anxious. Little Xiaxia was so cute. Everyone was afraid that Little Xiaxia''s cries would disturb Yu Qian and he would punish her.

    However, it was useless for everyone to be anxious. When Yu Qian was reading, no one dared to go forward and speak. Now, even if everyone was worried about Little Xiaxia, they could only silently pray that Yu Qian would not take his anger out on her.

    However, the direction of the matter was beyond everyone''s expectations. Little Xiaxia snorted twice and everyone ignored her. Perhaps because she felt that she was not valued, her cries became louder and louder, filling the entire study. The subordinates were already trembling in fear.

    For some reason, Yu Qian, who was usually very focused, could not focus on the book in front of him now. Yu Qian put down the book in his hand and walked to Little Xiaxia''s side, looking down at her.

    Sensing Yu Qian''s approach, Little Xiaxia was overjoyed. She waved her small hand, and the tears on her face were not over.

    She rolled happily on the soft couch, but she was wrapped in too many clothes. With this roll, she fell off the bed like a cylinder.

    The moment Little Xiaxia fell off the bed, Yu Qian reached out to catch her. A pleasant milky fragrance entered his nose.

    Little Xiaxia was too small. Even though she was wrapped in clothes, she was still a small ball. Yu Qian carried her in his hand and felt that Little Xiaxia was weightless. She looked small and cute.

    Being hugged by Yu Qian, Little Xiaxia became much more obedient. She loved to smile by nature, and now, she was smiling at Yu Qian with her big bright eyes. The dimples at the corners of her lips were faintly visible.

    Facing such an inoffensive little creature, Yu Qian''s patience seemed to increase. He prepared to put Little Xiaxia on the soft couch, but before he could put her on it, tears began to appear in Little Xiaxia''s eyes again. She kept waving her small hands, as if protesting that Yu Qian did not hug her.

    In the end, he had no choice but to soften under Little Xiaxia''s pitiful gaze.

    ? Yu Qian could only carry her to his desk and ce her on it. Little Xiaxiay on the desk and stopped crying. She looked at the book in Yu Qian''s hand quietly, her bright eyes filled with curiosity.

    Yu Qian began to read the documents again. This time, Little Xiaxia really stopped fooling around. It had been especially quiet. There was only the sound of the wind asionally blowing the pages in the study.

    However, sometimes, Little Xiaxia seemed to want Yu Qian to talk to her and would gently wave at him.

    Yu Qian sensed Little Xiaxia''s movements and would asionally look up at her. Seeing Yu Qian''s gaze look over again, Little Xiaxia was happy and waved at Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian felt that Little Xiaxia was quite fun. He reached out and patted Little Xiaxia''s shoulder. Little Xiaxia smiled at him unguardedly.

    Yu Qian''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Little Xiaxia, thinking about something.<novelnext></novelnext>

    After ying for a long time, Little Xiaxia began to feel sleepy. She still could not speak and could only express a few words simply. She waved at Yu Qian with tears in her eyes. "Mama ~ Mama."

    Little Xiaxia called out a few times, but she did not smell the familiar scent of Xia Wanyuan. She began to feel uneasy. Her small mouth pursed and she was about to cry.

    Yu Qian reached out and patted her shoulder gently. Little Xiaxia stopped for a second and cried even louder.

    Boohoo, I want Mommy! I want to sleep. Where''s Mommy? I can''t feel Mommy''s aura anymore.

    Children needed their mothers the most and were the easiest to feel uneasy. At this moment, she could not find Xia Wanyuan. The originally quiet Little Xiaxia began to be restless, and the tears on her face increased.

    In the end, Little Xiaxia cried loudly in the study.

    The subordinates in charge of guarding outside the door were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped. "Do you think the boss will strangle this baby to death?? This is too noisy."

    "I don''t think so. I think the boss will amodate her. Have you realized that the boss especially favors this child? When have you ever seen the boss carry a child? This is the first one."

    "Maybe he feels that it''s new and wants to raise her as a pet." The subordinate lowered his voice. "If you say that our boss has any love for children, I really don''t believe you. It''s too fake."

    Xia Wanyuan sat in the room for a long time. Seeing that the time on the clock was almost four in the morning, she finally stood up and prepared to rest.

    At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Yu Qian stood at the door with Little Xiaxia in his arms.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Little Xiaxia''s cries instantly stopped. She waved at Xia Wanyuan and shouted incoherently, "Mama."

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and took Little Xia Xia from Yu Qian''s arms, gently patting her back. "Good girl."

    Smelling a familiar scent, Little Xiaxia felt sleepy and fell asleep in a second.

    Seeing Little Xiaxia lying in Xia Wanyuan''s arms with curved eyshes, Yu Qian''s eyes narrowed. "She listens to you."

    Not only could Xia Wanyuan not understand Yu Qian''s words, but she also could not understand his deep love. She covered Little Xiaxia''s face a little. "Thank you for sending her over."

    "You''re wee." Yu Qian had always been a casual person. Looking at Little Xiaxia in Xia Wanyuan''s arms, he raised an eyebrow. "I''lle and pick her up tomorrow morning."

    Xia Wanyuan''s heart sank. "What do you mean?"

    Yu Qian smiled at Xia Wanyuan. "My study is a little quiet. I want to find someone to apany me. I think your daughter is not bad. Sleep well. I''ll pick her up tomorrow."

    With that, Yu Qian turned and left.

    Watching Yu Qian leave, Xia Wanyuan frowned. She could tell that Yu Qian was a clean freak. It was unlikely that he had any improper thoughts about Little Xiaxia, but his actions were indeed iprehensible to Xia Wanyuan.

    .........

 Chapter 1449 Soft

    Just as Yu Qian had said, the next morning, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up when there was a knock on the door.

    Xia Wanyuan had not slept wellst night and had been woken up by nightmares. Now that she woke up, her head hurt a little. Shey on the bed in a daze for a moment, but Yu Qian had already pushed open the door and walked in.

    Yu Qian was wearing a white shirt and had a clear expression on his face. His gaze shone in from the door with him. At first nce, no one would think that such a person''s hands were actually stained with so much blood.

    Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan coldly. "You slept quite well."

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. She had always been on guard against this ce, so she slept in her clothes at night. There was nothing exposed now, but Xia Wanyuan still felt very ufortable with Yu Qian''s existence. "Don''t you know how to knock?"

    Yu Qian sat down calmly on the sofa. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and obvious mockery shed across his eyes. "Mrs. Jun? Did I give you an illusion? You''re just a captive Jun Shiling threw at me now. What do you think you are? A distinguished guest?"

    Xia Wanyuan did not think that Yu Qian would listen to her, so she ignored Yu Qian''s mockery.

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything more to Yu Qian. She simply tied her hair and washed it.

    Because she did not sleep well, Xia Wanyuan''s expression was a little bad. She was like a dusty pearl, exuding a hazy beauty.

    Yu Qian had been sitting quietly on the sofa, watching Xia Wanyuanb her hair and wash her face, his eyes vaguely interested.

    "Professor Xia, I want to listen to ss after breakfast. Wait for me in my study at ten."

    "Mm." Xia Wanyuan did not reject Yu Qian''s request.

    "Where''s your daughter?" Yu Qian nced at the bed not far away. There was only a small bulge on it. It seemed that the child was sleeping soundly.

    Little Xiaxia had actually been very shy since she was young. Although she was still a child, she seemed to have her own thoughts. As long as she was beside the person she liked, she was quite obedient.

    Although she had gone from China to Continent F, she was surrounded by Xia Wanyuan''s aura. Little Xiaxia was still sleeping especially soundly. Now, she seemed to have heard someone talking. Her small hand crawled out of the nket and scratched in the air. She was still humming, as if she was looking for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan walked over and picked up Little Xiaxia, who had just woken up, then walked over and ced her in Yu Qian''s arms. "Carry her away. I''m going to change. Go out first."

    The fragrance of milk came. Little Xiaxia was not dressed as thick as yesterday. The warmth gradually passed from his fingertips to Yu Qian''s hand. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Little Xiaxia in his arms.

    Little Xiaxia had just woken up and her eyes were still sleepy, but she loved to smile. Although she was still very sleepy, she subconsciously smiled at Yu Qian. Her shallow dimples appeared on her face, and her eyes were as bright and clear as ever.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s bright smile, Yu Qian was a little stunned. Little Xiaxia did not seem to be veryfortable in Yu Qian''s arms. She frowned and snorted. Yu Qian tried to adjust his actions of hugging her. Little Xiaxia immediately stopped snorting and continued to smile happily at Yu Qian.

    Xia Wanyuan had been looking at Yu Qian''s expression. Seeing that Yu Qian was subconsciously indulging Little Xia Xia, she rxed a little. It seemed that Yu Qian did not have any other thoughts about Little Xia Xia. In fact, because of Little Xia Xia''s zero threat, Yu Qian did not have any intention of hurting her. On the contrary, Xia Wanyuan even saw a hint of protection in Yu Qian''s actions.

    "Aren''t you leaving?" Xia Wanyuan asked again.

    Only then did Yu Qian seem to react. He stood up and left with Little Xiaxia.

    Sensing that Xia Wanyuan''s aura was gradually leaving, Little Xiaxia stuck half of her head out of Yu Qian''s arms and secretly looked at Xia Wanyuan. Her bright eyes blinked, but she did not cry.

    Sensing Little Xiaxia''s actions, Yu Qian looked down slightly, then raised his hand and gently patted Little Xiaxia''s shoulder.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Feeling Yu Qian''sfort, Little Xiaxia quietly snuggled back into Yu Qian''s arms and smiled at him.

    In the room, Xia Wanyuan heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Yu Qian leave.

    With Yu Qian, what she was most worried about was Little Xiaxia''s safety. From the looks of it, Little Xiaxia should not be in any danger.

    Although Yu Qian looked unpredictable, Xia Wanyuan felt that Yu Qian was not that fickle. If he wanted to kill, he would have killed her back then. Now, Xia Wanyuan did not see any killing intent from Yu Qian.

    After changing, Xia Wanyuan went to the canteen at the base for breakfast.

    In this base, Yu Qian was the absolute king. The others did not have much freedom and followed strict life rules.

    Now, seeing that not only could Xia Wanyuan move freely in the base, but there were also no other restrictions, some people had many opinions about Xia Wanyuan. Facing everyone''s private pointing fingers, Xia Wanyuan ignored them all.

    After breakfast, Xia Wanyuan began to run along the base. Someone tried to stop her. Xia Wanyuan looked coldly at the person in front of her.

    "Did your boss ask you to restrict my activities?"

    Everyone looked at each other. "No, but ording to the rules, you can''t..."

    Anyone could tell that Xia Wanyuan was not a simple person to dismiss. They were afraid that something would happen if they let such a person run around the base.

    "Then that''s it." Xia Wanyuan continued to run forward. "When he restricts me,e and stop me."

    The subordinates had no choice but to ask Yu Qian for instructions.

    Yu Qian was doing experiments in theboratory. Little Xiaxiay on the experiment table at the side and looked curiously at these colorful reagents.

    Hearing his subordinate''s report, Yu Qian did not even look up.

    "Let her be."

    "Yes."

    Everyone retreated from theboratory and looked at each other. "Don''t you think Boss has been a little strange recently?"

    "Stop talking. If he hears uster, we won''t be able to bear the consequences. We''re not Xia Wanyuan who can still enjoy privileges."

    In theboratory, Yu Qian had already adjusted the reagent. He walked to therge ss tank that locked the experimental crowd and was about to throw it in when he seemed to have thought of something.

    He turned around and saw that Little Xiaxia was looking at Yu Qian and the reagent in his hand curiously.

    Yu Qian was silent for a moment. In the end, he walked over, took off his coat, and covered Little Xiaxia''s head. Then, he returned to the experimental ss tank and injected the medicine into it.

    .........-

 Chapter 1450 Companion

    With the clothes covering her head, not only could Little Xiaxia not see Yu Qian, but she also felt a little suffocated. Little Xiaxia felt ufortable and kept waving her little hands to pull the clothes.

    Her chubby little hands kept pulling at the clothes on her head, but she was still too young and could not move with her strength. She was so anxious that she almost cried and groaned in a childish voice.

    Hearing Little Xiaxia''s moans, Yu Qian, who had already injected half of the medicine, turned around.

    After struggling to the greatest extent, Little Xiaxia finally seeded in pulling down half of her coat. Half of Little Xiaxia''s head peeked out of the coat. It was unknown if she knew what happy emotions were at such a young age, but she was looking at Yu Qian with a pair of bright eyes that were sparkling like little stars.

    Although Little Xiaxia was still young, she looked too simr to Xia Wanyuan, especially her bright eyes. The only difference was that Xia Wanyuan''s eyes were elegant and wise.

    Little Xiaxia''s eyes were sparkling like stars. There were no impurities in them, only clear brightness.

    For some reason, Yu Qian''s heart skipped a beat.

    Yu Qian frowned, put the reagent in his hand aside, and walked towards Little Xiaxia.

    Seeing someone approach and smelling a familiar smell, Little Xiaxia smiled at Yu Qian. Her shallow dimples appeared on her face, and with her bright eyes, she was even more dazzling than the morning sun.

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to pick Little Xiaxia up, then removed his coat from her head.

    However, just as his hand touched the coat, Little Xiaxia hugged him. A faint milky fragrance instantly burrowed into Yu Qian''s arms.

    Not only did Little Xiaxia like to smile, but she was also especially close to people. She hugged Yu Qian''s index finger and smiled happily. Children were very curious about everything around them. Little Xiaxia did not know what Yu Qian''s finger was and pinched it curiously.

    Sensing the warmth on his fingertips, a deep killing intent appeared on Yu Qian''s body.

    He had always hated others'' touch. No matter who it was, thest person who dared to touch him was already dead.

    However, this child did not know what was good for him. She actually dared to touch him. Killing intent appeared on Yu Qian''s body.

    Yu Qian pulled his finger out of Little Xia Xia''s hand. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand grabbed Little Xia Xia''s neck. His cold fingers pinched Little Xia Xia''s neck, and Little Xia Xia shrank back from the cold.

    At this moment, Little Xiaxia still did not know what danger she was facing. She still looked at Yu Qian foolishly and stared at the button on Yu Qian''s chest, looking very interested in the dark button.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s unguarded expression, the coldness in Yu Qian''s eyes did not decrease. He liked to bring this child along mainly because she was good-looking and quiet, but that did not mean that she could challenge his bottom line.

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. It was fine to kill a pet. As for Xia Wanyuan, she was just a prisoner. What was there to worry about?

    Yu Qian gradually tightened his grip on Little Xiaxia''s neck.

    Little Xiaxia did not notice the danger that had descended. She only knew that the person in front of her would give her delicious food, hug her, and give her fun toys.

    Hence, Little Xiaxia only thought that he was ying with her. After all, at her age, she could not feel any danger or killing intent, but she could sense people''s true hearts.

    Perhaps sensing the true emotions in Yu Qian''s heart, not only did Little Xiaxia not dodge, but she also leaned closer to Yu Qian''s arms.

    Little Xiaxia hugged Yu Qian''s wrist and looked at him with a smile. Her clear eyes were as moving as the most expensive gem of time. The dimples on her face were shallow, and her fan-like curly eyshes fluttered on her eyelids. The brightest stars in the sky were not as moving as the expression in her eyes.<novelnext></novelnext>

    An idea suddenly appeared in Yu Qian''s heart. If I killed such a person, would there be such beautiful eyes in the world?

    For some reason, Yu Qian suddenly retracted his hand. He looked at Little Xiaxia for a while and suddenly reached out to pinch her curly eyshes.

    Little Xiaxia felt ufortable in her eyes, but she only waved her hand to protest. Then, she smiled at Yu Qian, as if she trusted the person hugging her extremely.

    "Tsk, although she''s young, she knows how to make people happy." As if feeling that pinching her eyshes was not enough, Yu Qian moved his hand and pinched Little Xiaxia''s soft face, causing the dimples on Little Xiaxia''s face to deepen and her smile to be even brighter.

    Aftering out of theboratory, everyone clearly realized that Yu Qian''s attitude towards Little Xiaxia seemed to be different.

    If it was said that he had casually dismissed her like a little pet before, now, it was obvious that he doted on her a little. The way he looked at Little Xiaxia was much gentler.

    Perhaps even Yu Qian did not expect such a gentle gaze to appear on him.

    Yu Qian, who had always hated others getting close, even yed with Little Xiaxia himself.

    Xia Wanyuan watched from afar, her eyes filled with joy and worry.

    Seeing that it was time, Xia Wanyuan walked over and nced at Little Xiaxia calmly. She seemed to be ying quite happily, and her eyes were filled with smiles.

    "ss is starting. Are you leaving?"

    "Mm." Yu Qian nodded and carried Little Xiaxia to the study.

    Xia Wanyuan casually picked a book and began to lecture Yu Qian on the ckboard in the study. Little Xiaxia felt that it was fun. She sat in Yu Qian''s arms and looked at Xia Wanyuan curiously. asionally, she would turn around and smile at Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian had heard Xia Wanyuan lecture many times. He had always been the quietest student. Now, looking at Xia Wanyuan, who had told him the history of painting and calligraphy, for some reason, Yu Qian suddenly thought of a question.

    "Do you usually apany Jun Shiling like this?"

    "What?" Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked at Yu Qian in confusion.

    Yu Qian pointed at Little Xiaxia. "I want you to apany me. Apany me the way you apany Jun Shiling. Otherwise, I can''t guarantee that I won''t let your daughter return to your side tonight."

    Looking at Yu Qian''s cold expression, Xia Wanyuan''s eyes flickered. She nodded. "Sure."

    Yu Qian was about to say something when his subordinate suddenly appeared at the door. "Boss, a guest is looking for you."

    Yu Qian returned Little Xiaxia to Xia Wanyuan. "Don''t think of lying to me. Although the defense in Beijing is tight, it''s not difficult to know your usual matters with Jun Shiling. I want you to do everything with me."

    With that, Yu Qian left the room.

 Chapter 1451 Emperor Xia Yuan Awakens

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Yu Qian''s eyes. "Do you like me?"

    Xia Wanyuan was not so narcissistic, but she was indeed a little curious why Yu Qian''s attitude towards her was so strange.

    ording to Yu Qian''s personality, it was impossible for him to have such a high tolerance for her. However, the current Yu Qian had a high tolerance for her.

    There was no fluctuation in Yu Qian''s eyes. He looked at Xia Wanyuan as if she was ice. "You''re quite narcissistic."

    Xia Wanyuan also sensed that Yu Qian did not have any romantic feelings for her. In that case, Yu Qian''s actions were very strange. She could not guess his motive.

    The subordinate came over to rush her again. Yu Qian nced at Xia Wanyuan. "I hope I can see a satisfactory answer when Ie backter."

    With that, Yu Qian strode away.

    The subordinate watched Yu Qian speak to Xia Wanyuan coldly from afar, thinking that Xia Wanyuan had angered Yu Qian. "Boss, do we need to lock Xia Wanyuan up??"

    Yu Qian looked at his subordinate indifferently. "You care so much."

    The subordinate was new and thought that Yu Qian was really praising her. She subconsciously humbled himself. "Boss, you tter me."

    Yu Qian sneered. "Get lost."

    The subordinate widened her eyes. "What?!"

    However, before she could plead with Yu Qian, the others had already surged over and dragged her down.

    About half an hourter, Yu Qian arrived at the open sea of Continent F. Sea Shark was waiting for him on the boat.

    Seeing Yu Qian appear, the subordinate behind Sea Shark subconsciously stood in front of him.

    After all, Wei Zimu had died under the joint scheme of Sea Shark and Chu Yi. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Wei Zimu and Yu Qian''s rtionship was shallow, and Yu Qian even hated Wei Zimu a little,

    However, Wei Zimu was Yu Qian''s subordinate after all. In Sea Shark and the rest''s opinion, they had to look at the owner to hit the dog. Yu Qian might find trouble with Sea Shark.

    Sea Shark looked very calm. He pulled his subordinate away and waved gently at Yu Qian, who was walking over. "Boss Yu, long time no see. How have you been recently?"

    Seeing Sea Shark, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. A rare hint of killing intent appeared in his usually silent eyes. "How dare you appear."

    ? Sea Sharkughed out loud. "Boss K, isn''t it just a brother? Back then, my entire family died. Didn''t I still talk andugh with the enemy who killed my father? As long as there are benefits, family is nothing."

    Yu Qian stood coldly at the side. The strong wind on the sea came with a chill, causing his clothes to flutter. "What''s the matter?"

    Sea Shark took two steps closer to Yu Qian with an obvious smile on his face. "Brother, your power has fallen drastically recently. You''ve almost lost your right arm. What did you do to provoke Jun Shiling to this extent?"

    "It has nothing to do with you," Yu Qian replied coldly. His side face had a shocking coldness that kept people away.

    However, Sea Shark turned a blind eye to Yu Qian''s cold attitude. Sea Shark smiled, causing the scars on his face to tremble. He stared straight at Yu Qian. "Have you caught Xia Wanyuan? Now that no one can find her, Jun Shiling is attacking your industry crazily. Have you gotten Xia Wanyuan?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    During this period of time, Sea Shark and Chu Yi had also been looking for Xia Wanyuan. Actually, they were not the only ones. The entire world was looking for Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan seemed to have disappeared into thin air and could not be found at all.

    What made Sea Shark even angrier was that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Jun Shiling had attacked Yu Qian on arge scale and even suppressed Sea Shark''s power.

    Sea Shark had already guessed that Xia Wanyuan had been taken away by Yu Qian, which was why Jun Shiling had taken such a fierce revenge. Now, Sea Shark had done nothing, but he was taking the me with Yu Qian. No matter how Sea Shark thought about it, he felt ufortable.

    In the end, he decided to personally investigate Yu Qian.

    From Yu Qian''s current attitude, Sea Shark was certain that Yu Qian had definitely taken Xia Wanyuan away.

    Yu Qian sneered. "What has it got to do with you?"

    "Don''t you know that legend?" Sea Shark''s eyes lit up, and he was even more certain of his guess. Xia Wanyuan must be in Yu Qian''s hands. "Someone told me that Xia Wanyuan is the key to opening the spatial gate. As long as we can capture Xia Wanyuan, we can find endless treasures."

    In this world, who had never regretted it? Who did not have regrets? Back then, when they became old, time could not be reversed. However, now that the key to changing time and space was ced in front of them, no one could resist such temptation.

    As long as he could capture Xia Wanyuan, he could return to any time he wanted. At that time, unifying the world would be at his fingertips. Thinking of that scene, the light in Sea Shark''s eyes intensified.

    "Who did you hear it from?" Yu Qian''s eyes narrowed. "That ck-robed man?"

    Sea Shark looked at Yu Qian warily and was not prepared to expose the ck-robed man. He stared straight at Yu Qian. "Just tell me if you''re willing to hand Xia Wanyuan over. I''m willing to exchange half of the route."

    Yu Qian raised his hand and turned the ring in his hand slightly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. "I didn''t know Xia Wanyuan was so valuable."

    "Then¡­" Sea Shark had just said that word when he suddenly acutely sensed a red light sweep across his face. Sea Shark fell to the ground. In the next second, the bullet pierced through the deck under him.

    Sea Shark scrambled to his feet, his face clearly filled with anger and embarrassment. "Yu Qian!! Just you wait. Do you really think I don''t dare to do anything to you??? Just you wait!!"

    With that, Sea Shark hid in the boat that came to pick him up and quickly sank into the sea to leave.

    Looking at Sea Shark''s retreating figure, Yu Qian chuckled. "Heh, change time and space."

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, in a deep mountain in Continent F, a strange girl was looking curiously at the man lying on the bed.

    "Strange, why isn''t he awake yet??" The girl looked at her father, who was standing at the side. "Father, isn''t it said in the history of the n that the person who barged into the n a thousand yearster is the person we have to protect? We fed him all the sacred medicine. He won''t wake up, right? Did we get the wrong person??"

    The middle-aged man stroked his beard. "Impossible. When that medicine entered his body, there was clearly a golden light shing. ording to the history of the race, this is that person."

    "But he''s still not awake." The girl poked Xia Wei''s face in confusion and sighed. So there was such a young and good-looking boy in this world.

    Just as she was about to take a closer look, the person on the bed moved.

    .........-

 Chapter 1452 Oath Of The Vast Seas And Multiverses

    Xia Wei had not moved for so many days and had always been in a living dead state. The vige chief and the youngdy thought that this person would not wake up.

    Unexpectedly, he suddenly opened his eyes today and looked very energetic. He did not look like someone who had been unconscious for many days.

    It was as if this young man had closed his eyes previously and had woken up.

    Because Xia Wei suddenly opened his eyes, the youngdy and the middle-aged man were shocked. The youngdy was timid and hid behind the middle-aged man. "Father, is he awake or is he a zombie?? Should we run straight away??"

    The middle-aged man went forward to check on Xia Wei''s condition and checked his pulse. Then, he nodded. This person''s health was much better than the day before.

    It was amazing. Because of their special physique, the people in their ce belonged to the category of people whose wounds recovered very quickly. He did not expect this young man''s recovery speed to be even faster than his. He did not look like an ordinary person at all.

    "Yueyue, go and get the medicine." The middle-aged man looked at Xi Yue beside him. "He''s awake."

    Xi Yue could not think of any medicine at this moment. She looked at Xia Wei on the bed in a daze, her eyes filled with amazement.

    Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan came from the same lineage and had top-notch looks in the world. In addition, he had imperial power on him and had a noble aura that ordinary people could notpare to. Just lying there quietly made one feel as if they could see the sky.

    Xia Wei opened his eyes. Because he had not seen the light for a long time, his eyes were not used to such light for the time being. He stared at the roof for a while before turning his head and meeting a pair of bright eyes.

    Xia Wei''s throat hurt a little because he had not spoken for a long time. Now that he opened his mouth, he felt as if his throat was on fire.

    Xi Yue seemed to have reacted. She ran to the side and brought Xia Wei a ss of water, then handed it to him.

    There were not many people in this ce. Xi Yue had yed with them since she was young and did not have any guard against men and women. However, now that she looked at Xia Wei''s gentle side profile, Xi Yue seemed to have gained enlightenment without being taught. She blushed and did not dare to look at Xia Wei''s handsome eyebrows, but she could not help but look at Xia Wei.

    His throat was too painful to speak, but although Xia Wei could not speak, he bowed briefly to Xi Yue with the demeanor of a gentleman. Then, he took the water and drank the entire cup.

    The water here had not been polluted by any impurities for nearly a thousand years. Hence, when it spread in his throat, not only did it have a faint sweetness, but it also had a rare feeling offort.

    In just a moment, Xia Wei felt that his throat was morefortable. Xia Wei finally spoke, his voice still a little hoarse. "Where are we? Who are you?"

    "This is the hidden..." Xi Yue had just opened her mouth when she was stopped by a middle-aged man. He looked at Xia Wei. "We picked you up in the dark river. We''re small people in the mountains and have lived here for generations. Young Master must have never heard of our n''s name. There''s no need to say it."

    Xia Wei could naturally tell that the middle-aged man was on guard. However, he had unintentionally fallen here. To them, he was an outsider. They had already done their best to save him. Xia Wei could understand their vignce.

    Simrly, he had clearly died a long time ago, but when he opened his eyes again, he was here. Xia Wei was also on guard against his surroundings.

    He was worried that these people were all traps set by the enemies. Simrly, he was worried that the two people in front of him had ulterior motives, so Xia Wei hid his identity.

    Xia Wei nodded, then asked, "Then I am??"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xi Yue''s eyes widened. Wow, is there anyone in the world who doesn''t know who they are?? "You don''t know who you are??"

    Xia Wei replied with confusion in his eyes. "I don''t know. Do you know me?"

    Xi Yue looked at her father. "Father, did he break his head in the dark river??"

    The middle-aged man stroked his beard. "Maybe the dark river is filled with reefs. He probably hit his head and was injured."

    Xi Yue looked at Xia Wei''s handsome face and blinked her beautiful eyes. A n formed in her heart. She quietly pulled the middle-aged man''s sleeve and whispered into his ear, "Father, I''m almost at the age of marriage. Anyway, he has lost his memory. Can you let him be my husband??"

    Xi Yue thought that her voice was very soft and her actions were very hidden, but in this small room, unless you spoke ventriloquism, no matter how soft you were, you could hear the other party''s voice.

    Furthermore, Xi Yue only thought that her voice was very soft, but in fact, it was not soft at all. Hence, Xia Wei heard everything she said.

    Xia Wei did not have any special reaction. At his level, he had already mastered the ways of the world. It was normal for girls to be aroused.

    Hence, Xia Wei only raised an eyebrow and did not point it out.

    The middle-aged man had always doted on Xiyue, but this time, he scolded her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!!! You can choose the men in the n. This man can''t."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man seemed to be worried that his loud voice had disturbed Xia Wei. He nodded at Xia Wei respectfully, then turned around to scold Xi Yue.

    Xi Yue had only said it casually because Xia Wei was good-looking. Now that she was scolded by her father, she snorted aggrievedly and ran out.

    After Xi Yue left, the middle-aged man closed the door and knelt down to Xia Wei. "Master."

    An inexplicable glint shed across Xia Wei''s eyes. He looked at the man in front of him in confusion. "Sir, why are you doing this?"

    The middle-aged man pulled open his sleeve, revealing a faint golden pattern on his arm. "Our race has historical records. When we meet someone with aplete golden pattern on their body, they''re our master who we pledge our loyalty to."

    For thousands of years, the people here had never gone out. They guarded an almost empty oath. The world had changed, and the people in thisnd had changed batch after batch. The person recorded in the genealogy had never appeared.

    It was so long that everyone began to wonder if this was a joke or the truth. The person with the golden auspicious dragon on his arm finally appeared.

    The middle-aged man looked at Xia Wei excitedly. "We''re loyal to you."

    Xia Wei took a step back. "Sir, please get up. I''m not your master. I only have one request. Can you send me back to my original ce?"

 Chapter 1453 - 1453 Karma

    1453 Karma

    The middle-aged man nodded. ¡°Since it¡¯s your order, I¡¯ll definitely do it. It¡¯s just¡­¡±

    However, there were many people who wanted to leave this eternal ce before him, but they failed.

    When he was very young, he had even seen an old vige chief being washed to the bottom of the cliff by the waves because he wanted to leave.

    That incident had once left a considerable psychological trauma on the young vige chief. Until now, sometimes, when he dreamed at night, he could see the hands that kept struggling in the water.

    !!

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wei smiled kindly at the middle-aged man. However, he had too much power. Even though it was a very kind smile, it pressed down on the middle-aged man like a mountain.

    The middle-aged man subconsciously bent down. ¡°We¡¯ve been trapped here for generations and have never gone out. To be honest, we¡¯ve also tried to leave this ce, but the people who went out to explore have never returned. Later on, we gradually gave up.¡±

    Xia Wei replied with an ¡°oh¡± and lowered his eyes to hide his deep thoughts.

    This ce was too strange, and he could not wait to go out and see what this world was like. He could not stay here for long.

    The middle-aged man thought that Xia Wei was disappointed. Xia Wei had a golden dragon on him. ording to the ancestral teachings, as long as it was something Xia Wei had instructed, the nsmen had toplete it without flinching. Otherwise, they would be punished by the heavens.

    He took a step forward. ¡°But don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll continue to find the exit.¡±

    Xia Wei looked up with a kind smile in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. The environment here is quite good. It¡¯s not bad to stay here. Thank you for saving me. I¡¯ve troubled you enough.¡±

    The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand and smiled very honestly. ¡°You¡¯re too kind. I¡¯ll get someone to prepare dinner for you. There are all in food here. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Wei nodded slightly at the man.

    After the man left, Xia Wei lifted the nket and stood up.

    Everything here was still the same as a thousand years ago, maintaining the antique decorations. This was a corner that had been missed by the entire world. Here, there were no traces of time.

    Xia Wei walked to the side and knocked gently on the wall twice. As expected, a hollow sound came from inside. Xia Wei¡¯s eyes darkened.

    He did not know what year it was or where he was. He felt that he had slept for a long time, but looking at the surrounding decorations, it was as if he was in the Great Xia Dynasty.

    Just as he was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door. Xia Wei restrained his thoughts. ¡°Come in.¡±

    He slowly walked to the bed and sat down. He reached out and tidied his messy cor. His sister had taught him to dress properly no matter where he was.

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, a hint of longing shed across Xia Wei¡¯s eyes.

    He did not know where his sister was and if she was living peacefully.

    Looking at the blue sky outside the window, Xia Wei felt mncholic. He did not know when he would be able to find Xia Wanyuan.

    It was Xiyue who entered. The youngdy got angry quickly and calmed down quickly. She ced a few tes of food on the table. ¡°Eat quickly. Father treats you so well. We usually only eat mutton during the Spring Festival.¡±

    The geographical conditions here were superior, and the cows and sheep raised here were also the best. The steamed mutton on the table was only boiled in in water, but the fragrance of meat kept wafting out, tempting people.

    Xia Wei nced at the food on the table and nodded at Xi Yue. ¡°How should I address you, Miss??¡±

    ¡°Xi Yue. The moon by the stream1.¡± Xiyue smiled at Xia Wei. Her dark eyes were indeed easy to associate with the moon by the stream.

    It was clean and pure, as if it was stained with water. There were no impurities.

    Xiyue had lived in this isted vige since she was young and had never experienced human affairs or been tainted by the wind and frost. She had always yearned for the outside world, but she did not know how many people envied her literary innocence.

    ¡°Miss Xi Yue.¡± Xia Wei walked to the table and picked up his chopsticks to taste the food. He asked Xi Yue casually, ¡°I heard from your father that you¡¯ve always lived here?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xi Yue nodded. ¡°Let me count. It¡¯s been almost a thousand years since the first generation. Let me tell you, here, we¡­¡±

    Xia Wei no longer knew what Xi Yue was saying. His attention waspletely attracted by the ¡°1,000 years¡± in Xi Yue¡¯s words.

    The chopsticks in Xia Wei¡¯s hand fell to the ground. He stared intently at Xi Yue. ¡°A thousand years?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± It was rare for her to have a newpanion, so Xi Yue enthusiastically told Xia Wei everything she knew. ¡°I heard that our ancestors were sent overseas by their emperor. Later on, they were washed here because of the storm and have multiplied here since then.¡±

    Listening to Xi Yue¡¯s exnation, Xia Wei suddenly thought of something.

    He looked into Xi Yue¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then do you know which emperor sent your ancestors out back then?¡±

    Xi Yue nodded. ¡°Of course. It¡¯s Emperor Xia Yuan. ording to the ancient books in our race, that emperor is still very young. I heard that he¡¯s very capable. During his reign, he did many things that benefited the country and the people¡­¡±

    Xi Yue told Xia Wei everything she knew. However, even if Xi Yue praised him like a flower, Xia Wei did not have the mood to care.

    Because Xi Yue¡¯s exnation evoked his memories.

    It turned out that he had personally sent this group of nsmen left behind by the world back then.

    Back then, after his royal sister passed away, he had heard all sorts of secrets from Jiang Qing. There were also many capable people who came to give suggestions. Everyone said that Xia Wanyuan carried great merit. The soul of such a person would not easily dissipate in the world. As long as he could find a way to recall her soul, he could revive Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wei had once heard of the legend of reviving the dead in many secrets of the royal family, so he believed it. When his government was stable, he began to revive Xia Wanyuan.

    A thousand years ago, he had once sent ten fleets to all over the world to find a way to revive the dead.

    Later on, nine fleets returned one after another. Thest onepletely disappeared.

    From the looks of it, thatst one had not disappeared, but stopped here.

    ¡°Hello?¡± Xi Yue waved her hand in front of Xia Wei. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?? Are you listening to me??¡±

    Xia Wei smiled at Xi Yue. ¡°Yes, I haven¡¯t gone out for a long time. Can you apany me out to take a look?¡±

    Xi Yue was shocked by Xia Wei¡¯s smile and could not help but nod. ¡°Okay.¡±

 Chapter 1454 Way Out

    Xi Yue brought Xia Wei out and pushed open the door. The scene outside made Xia Wei suddenly feel that he had arrived at Jiangnan Water Vige.

    The natural environment here was quite good. There were flowers and green grass, and theke was connected. It was spring plowing, and the faint fragrance of grass came from the air.

    What was most strange was that hundreds of flowers were blooming here. In some seasons, peach blossoms and chrysanthemums shone together. Willows and cedar stood proudly together. Lotuses stretched on the water surface, and fish swam leisurely in the water.

    Not far away, someone was farming, some were picking, and some were castings to fish.

    Xia Wei found the climate here strange. What puzzled him the most was the sky here.

    The sky here did not seem to change. It would always be blue sky and white clouds.

    Over the years, the position of the clouds in the sky had not even moved. This was the peach blossom garden that those schrs could not reach in their lives.

    Xi Yue did not find the scenery here strange at all. She had grown up here, but Xia Wei was very curious about the scenery here. As he followed Xi Yue out, he looked around.

    Seeing that he was interested in this ce, Xi Yue took the initiative to introduce the situation to him.

    "It never rains here. Do you see that river? That ce is endless. We use well water for living. We usually use the water in this river to irrigate."

    Xia Wei nced at the river and looked upstream. The river seemed to havee from the sky and he could not see the source.

    There was no source of water, but the energy constantly provided water for his nsmen for thousands of years. A hint of obvious surprise shed across Xia Wei''s eyes.

    He was really curious about what kind of ce this was to have such a magical environment.

    "Do you know that lotus flower? It''s especially sweet. There''s fruit meat inside. I''ll pluck one for you to tryter."

    Xia Wei replied and continued to look around. Perhaps because the natural environment here was very good, most of the people had long lives.

    At a nce, the seventy to eighty-year-olds were quite healthy and could still work in the ground.

    This ce had been closed for a thousand years, and no one had ever seen an outsider. Now that they saw Xia Wei, everyone sized him up curiously with some vignce and hostility.

    However, at the same time, there was an obvious probing. Everyone did not even do farm work and looked carefully at Xia Wei, wanting to know how he had entered this ce.

    After so many years, they had tried all sorts of methods but could not get out, but this outsider hade in. Could it be that there was a secret passage that we had not found?

    Sensing everyone''s agitation, Xi Yue waved at everyone. "This person was saved by my father. He''s a good person. Everyone, don''t worry."

    Every n leader had absolute prestige in the vige. When they heard that they had been saved by the vige chief, everyone''s hostility towards Xia Wei decreased greatly.

    Many children even leaned over to y with Xia Wei, but Xi Yue pushed them away.

    "Stop fooling around. This brother is injured. Go to the side and y."

    The young girls looked at Xia Wei shyly. Although the people here had good physiques, there was nock of handsome young men.

    However, it was still rare to see someone as handsome as Xia Wei. Everyone pushed each other, wanting to go forward and talk to Xia Wei.

    Xi Yue saw everyone''s enthusiasm and stood in front of Xia Wei. "Alright, alright. Go and work. I''ll bring the guests around."

    With that, Xi Yue jumped onto the boat and looked at Xia Wei beside her. "Theke here is connected to the outside world, but the underground river over there is overgrown, and there''s a huge cliff. No one has ever returned from there alive. I''ll bring you over to take a look."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wei boarded the boat and bowed to Xi Yue. It was the standard ancient thank-you gesture. "Thank you, Miss Xi Yue."

    "You''re wee." Xi Yue was a little embarrassed by Xia Wei''s salute. "What''s your name?"

    Xia Wei''s eyes narrowed. "My surname is Xia, Xia Wan."

    "Xia Wan." Xiyue repeated the name in her mouth and felt a little strange. Why does it sound so much like a girl''s name? However, it sounded quite nice. "It''s quite nice. Let''s go."

    With that, Xi Yue rowed out with Xia Wei. Xi Yue was very familiar with this ce, so she brought Xia Wei around the corners.

    This ce was not big. Xia Wei estimated that it was only the size of a small town. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and faced water.

    Xi Yue brought him to look afar. There was a huge fault in the north of the town. Just hearing the hollow sound of the water falling, one could tell that it was bottomless.

    Xia Wei looked at Xi Yue. "You''ve never left this ce??"

    "Right."

    "Then you don''t know what happened outside either?" Xia Wei was not sure if it was a thousand yearster. If I could revive a thousand yearster, did that mean that Xia Wanyuan was???

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei frowned slightly. He had to quickly think of a way to leave this ce. If he could only nest here for the rest of his life, he would rather never wake up.

    Looking at the man in front of her, Xi Yue felt a little strange.

    Xia Wei was the most handsome man she had ever seen and the strangest man.

    She was curious about Xia Wei and liked to follow him all the time. However, after following him for a few days, Xi Yue was even more puzzled. "What are you looking at??"

    Ever since she brought Xia Wei around herest time, Xia Wei had always rowed the boat and sat by the cliff in a daze. It was unknown what he was thinking.

    However, Xi Yue knew that Xia Wei was different from the men she had known since she was young. There was a light in his eyes that no one else had.

    Xia Wei stepped forward and touched the stone that had rolled down from the mountain. Then, he picked it up and sniffed it. "It''s saltpeter."

    "What?" Xi Yue looked at Xia Wei in confusion. "What''s saltpeter?"

    "I''m going to look for your father."

    With that, Xia Wei ran towards the vige chief''s room.

    Now, the vige chief fulfilled Xia Wei''s request like an imperial edict. Xia Wei said that he wanted to mine the ores on the mountain. With the vige chief''s order, everyone stopped what they were doing and began to help Xia Wei mine the saltpeter.

    Time passed day by day. After processing the mined saltpeter, they obtained a batch of gunpowder. Xia Wei got someone to ce this gunpowder in the middle of a rtively thin rockyer in the southeast and forcefully blew up a narrow passageway that could be climbed up.

    Xia Wei spent an entire day climbing up. However, to his disappointment, the mountains in this ce wereyer byyer. It was impossible to climb out.

    Just as Xia Wei was disheartened, he realized that on the other side of the water, under the cliff, he could vaguely see the horizontal surface.

    .........

 Chapter 1455 Mechanism Success

    Seeing the water under the cliff, a glimmer of hope appeared in Xia Wei''s heart.

    This water was not umted at the bottom of the cliff, which meant that there must be another ce to go.

    There were two possibilities. Either there were more cliffs under this cliff, causing the water to overflow, or there was a passageway to other ces in the distance that could let him leave this ce.

    If he could cross that huge waterfall and reach the bottom of the cliff, he might be able to find the direction to leave with the water.

    These two possibilities showed that there was a 50% chance that he could leave, and the other half was that he would die.

    Xia Wei chose to try without hesitation. Instead of being trapped in this ce, he might as well take a gamble. If he lost, he would die. Anyway, it was not like he had never died before.

    Xia Wei told the vige chief his thoughts. The vige chief was not surprised at all when he heard Xia Wei''s words. It was as if he had long expected Xia Wei to leave forcefully.

    After a long silence, the vige chief sighed deeply. "Actually, I won''t hide it from you. Over the years, someone has thought of this method, and we were once only a step away from sess.

    We produce iron ore here. Back then, a vige chief went out and got someone to forge iron into an extremely long root pir. One side was fixed to the cliff, and the other extended to the waterfall.

    However, it didn''t seed. There are still mechanisms left behind back then."

    People were always restless and not satisfied with the current situation. For thousands of years, this family had been thriving here.

    Most people were already used to such a life, but there were always some people who had all sorts of imaginations about the outside world beyond this small valley.

    Everyone tried all sorts of methods to get out of the sky, water, and mountains, but no one had ever left this ce.

    It was as if this ce had been cursed. The entire vige was surrounded by a special barrier, turning this ce into a paradise that stood aloof from the world. It was also an invisible cage.

    Hearing the vige chief''s words, the hope that had risen in Xia Wei''s heart decreased a little. However, he still did not want to give up. "Can you bring me over to take a look? Do you still have those mechanism diagrams?"

    "Yes." Since Xia Wei wanted to see it, the vige chief moved all the relevant information to Xia Wei.

    After countless experiments by the predecessors, they realized that the water by the cliff was different from the ordinary water in the river in the vige. The predecessors realized that the closer they were to the cliff, the stronger the corrosiveness of the water.

    This was why so many people tried to approach and sank in the water.

    In the experience manuals that had been umted by ancestors with their blood and lives, one could see that there were many mountains around the vige. There was a special ore in the mountains. This ore contained a substance that could resist corrosion in the water.

    Previously, a vige chief had tried to build a ship with the ores in the mountains to the edge of the cliff.

    However, over the years, so many nsmen had died on the cliff, and the nsmen had be more and more resistant to this matter. Back then, the vige chief''s actions had also been resisted by many nsmen.

    However, the vige chief insisted and brought the homemade boat into the cliff.

    At that time, the current vige chief was still a child. He had seen the vige chief row the boat back then and approach the edge of the cliff step by step.

    The corrosion in the water had been removed, but the former vige chief did not expect the water to be too fierce. It disrupted his footsteps and pushed him towards the edge of the cliff.

    In fact, at that time, if someone could help pull it from behind, perhaps the ship would not lose control and slide down the cliff. However, at that time, the cliff was ssified as a forbidden area in the family. In such a huge ce, other than the current vige chief, who was hiding in the mountains and peeping, there was no one else.

    The current vige chief also wanted to try to save him, but he was still a child at that time and could not approach the previous vige chief at all.

    By the time he ran back to the vige and called the adults over, the rapid water had already swallowed the previous vige chief, leaving not even a trace.

    From then on, this matter became a taboo in the family. However, as the current patriarch who had experienced it personally back then, he recorded this matter.<novelnext></novelnext>

    After Xia Wei flipped through all the information, he felt that this method was more and more feasible. He pulled up his sleeves slightly. "Listen to my orders."

    Seeing the golden dragon in Xia Wei''s hand, the vige chief immediately knelt down in front of him.

    "Do your best toplete this mechanism and send me out of this ce."

    "Yes." The vige chief was uneasy, but he still bowed respectfully.

    With Xia Wei''s order, the entire vige began to dig iron ores and iron-refining mechanisms day and night again.

    The once calm vige was now filled with the sound of iron being refined at all times.

    Xi Yue handed Xia Wei the flowers she had picked from outside. "Here."

    Xia Wei reached out to take it and smiled at Xi Yue. "Thank you."

    "You''re wee." Xi Yue was stunned by Xia Wei''s smile. She looked at Xia Wei in embarrassment. "Are you married?"

    Xia Wei shook his head. "No, I still have rtives I haven''t found. How can I get married?"

    Back then, Xia Wanyuan had promised him that on the day of his marriage, Xia Wanyuan would be his witness. However,ter on, Xia Wanyuan had left suddenly, and Xia Wei had never been able to ept this blow, so the harem was empty.

    Hearing Xia Wei''s answer, Xi Yue''s eyes lit up. "Then what do you think of me??"

    Xi Yue was very beautiful. After living in such a simple environment for a long time, she was as fresh and natural as her name.

    Xia Wei did not hate her. He smiled at Xi Yue. "We''re not suitable."

    "Why??" Xi Yue turned to look into Xia Wei''s eyes. "Do you think I''m not good-looking?"

    "No."

    "Then why?" Xi Yue was a person who would get to the bottom of things. Now, she looked like she would pester Xia Wei every day if he did not tell her the answer.

    Xia Wei looked into the distance. "I won''t stay here."

    "Then I''ll go out with you," Xi Yue blurted out. Sensing Xia Wei''s gaze, Xi Yue patted her chest. "Really, I''ve always wanted to go out and take a look."

    Xia Wei smiled but did not speak.

    At this moment, a loud bang came from not far away, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. Xia Wei narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

    The mechanism was done.

    Xia Wei stood up and walked over. The vige chief weed him. "We''ve already prepared what you need and the sails. Are you sure you want to leave now?"

    "Yes." Xia Wei nodded. "Let''s start now."

    He could not wait to see what the world was like.

    ............-

 Chapter 1456 Breaking The Array

    Unlike Xia Wei''s excitement, the vige chief looked very gloomy. Even the usually rough Xi Yue realized that something was wrong with her father.

    Her father was usually very serious, but that dull seriousness was not like now. His entire face was dark, as if something big was about to happen. Xi Yue could clearly feel that her father, who had always been calm, was actually a little helpless.

    "Father, we''re about to leave this ce. Aren''t you happy??" Xi Yue looked at the vige chief curiously. "What does the outside world look like?"

    "Xi Yue, I have something to tell you. You must remember it firmly." The vige chief looked at Xia Wei, who was not far away, as if he had made up his mind.

    "Mm." Xi Yue nodded. "Father, go ahead."

    "Leave with Xia Wanter." The vige chief handed a ck stone to Xi Yue. "This was passed down by our ancestors. Take this and leave with him. No matter what happenster, don''t look back, understand?"

    Although Xi Yue always insisted on going out to take a look, looking at her father''s serious expression, Xiyue''s heart was filled with uneasiness. She grabbed her father''s hand. "Father, I''m not leaving."

    The vige chief shook his head. "Listen to me. Leave with him."

    Xi Yue wanted to say something to the vige chief, but the vige chief pushed Xi Yue away and brought the nsmen to the mechanism.

    After seven days and seven nights of continuous work, what appeared in front of everyone was a hammer-shaped tool that could reach the clouds.

    In a while, they would use this to let Xia Wei resist the huge pressure of the water and sessfully reach the bottom of the cliff.

    Xia Wei was already waiting by the cliff. Xi Yue walked to his side with the stone. "Is the outside world really exciting?"

    "Not necessarily." Xia Wei turned around and looked at the peaceful scenery here. "This is actually a ce that many people dream of."

    For thousands of years, the paradise had been the ideal ce for many people. People yearned for that quiet and harmonious living environment and simple interpersonal rtionships.

    However, the people inside had always been envious of the excitement outside. This was probably what humans were like. They were never satisfied with the current situation and were always envious of others. Little did they know that they were also envied by others.

    "Then why did Father ask me to leave?" Xi Yue was a little unhappy. Could it be that my father found me too naughty and did not want me to continue staying here? "Now that I think about it, there''s nothing good outside. It''s good to nest here."

    Xia Wei''s deep gazended on Xi Yue and he said in confusion, "I''m sorry."

    "What?" The sound of the water beside her was too loud, covering Xia Wei''s voice. Xi Yue looked up in confusion. "What did you just say?"

    "It''s nothing. I''m preparing to leave." Xia Wei turned around, as if he was unwilling to talk to Xiyue anymore.

    As an emperor, the people in front of him were also his people, but emperors had selfish motives. If he wanted to save Xia Wanyuan, he had no choice but to sacrifice these people and this pure girl in front of him.

    Xia Wei looked at the mountain range in front of him with a solemn expression.

    Along the way, there were too many things that he had no choice but to do. He could only force himself to be tough and ignore all his weakness.

    Seeing that Xia Wei did not want to talk to her anymore, Xi Yue did not pester him anymore. She pursed her lips. "Alright."<novelnext></novelnext>

    She followed Xia Wei to the other side of the mechanism. The rest of the n were at the top of the mechanism. Everyone used the speed of the water to slowly approach the cliff.

    Although the people here had lived here for nearly a thousand years in the most primitive way and their technology was much behind that of the outside world, they could be considered exquisite in terms of mechanism skills.

    It was unknown what technique this huge ck mechanism had been forged with, but the mechanism that could enter the clouds was integrated. There were no traces of carving. The few dragons floating around were lifelike.

    It was impossible to tell that it was artificially made. In the turbulent water, it was like a flood dragon turning into a dragon when it met water, making one''s heart tremble.

    If this mechanism was ced in water, it could break through the huge water flow and draw a path out.

    The originally fast water flow was broken by the mechanism with a loud roar. For thousands of years, the bottom of the valley had been calm and peaceful. Xi Yue had never seen such a scene. She subconsciously grabbed Xia Wei''s arm. Xia Wei looked down at her and reached out to protect her.

    Sensing Xia Wei''s actions, Xi Yue blushed. She looked at Xia Wei shyly and moved closer to him.

    The mechanism quickly broke through the waves in the water and advanced. However, when they reached the edge of the cliff, it was as if this ce was blocked by an invisible barrier. The water, fish, and birds could fly over the cliff waterfall. Only they were blocked at the top of the cliff, as if they could be swept down by the rapid water at any time.

    Xi Yue was a little afraid. Xia Wei covered her eyes with his hand. "It''s nothing. We''ll be fine in a while."

    "Oh." Xi Yue leaned towards Xia Wei in panic and subconsciously nced at her father not far away.

    Her father was also looking at her, his deep eyes containing emotions that Xi Yue could not understand.

    Xi Yue, who had always been heartless, suddenly panicked for some reason. She looked at her father and opened her mouth to say something, but her father shook his head at her, then turned around and activated the mechanism with her nsmen.

    The panic in Xi Yue''s heart intensified. She turned to look at Xia Wei, wanting to gain some support from him.

    However, looking at Xia Wei''s deep side profile, the panic in Xi Yue''s heart did not lessen much. On the contrary, she sensed a deeper sense of powerlessness.

    As the vige chief and his nsmen kept activating the mechanism, the wind howled. She felt the mechanism under her feet slowly fall, as if it could pass through that invisible barrier.

    Because the impact was too strong, even the air was filled with sharp sounds.

    The mechanism kept advancing, sending Xia Wei and Xi Yue to the edge of the cliff step by step. Xi Yue could clearly feel the moist air that was different from the calm mountain vige and the wind outside the vige.

    Xi Yue happily moved Xia Wei''s hand away, wanting to see with her own eyes what the other side of the waterfall was like.

    Xia Wei did not expect her to suddenly push him away. Caught off guard, he took a step back and revealed the view behind him.

    Xi Yue, who had been excited a second ago, widened her eyes when she saw the scene behind Xia Wei.

    The originally clear water was actually dyed red, and above the water was a strange array of people she knew. Blood flowed out of their bodies continuously.

    ...............-

 Chapter 1457 Boiling

    The mechanism had already begun to fall down the cliff. As if sensing Xi Yue''s gaze, the vige chief in the middle of the array looked at her and smiled kindly at Xi Yue.

    The surrounding water was rapid. Xi Yue could not hear what her father had said to her, but she could onlye out from her father''s mouth. What his father had said to her was, "Go on. Take good care of yourself."

    Xia Wei, who had been silent, pulled Xi Yue''s wrist. "I''ll be fine¡­"

    Before he could finish speaking, the soft silk on Xi Yue''s sleeve was flung out. She struggled to throw and wrap it around the stone by the cliff, then left the slowly falling mechanism.

    Xi Yue''s actions were too fast. Xia Wei could not stop her even if he wanted to.

    Fortunately, she was not far from the top of the waterfall. When Xia Wei graduallynded at the bottom of the waterfall, Xi Yue finally climbed to the top of the waterfall.

    Watching Xi Yue''s back disappear in front of the cliff waterfall, Xia Wei''s eyes were a little moved.

    He had been an emperor for many years, and the only softness in his heart was reserved for his family.

    He maintained a high level of vignce and defense against everyone around him.

    He had identally entered this paradise and had been hiding his identity because he was worried that this was a trap set by the enemy.

    He wanted to go out. Even though he knew that he had to sacrifice the blood of his nsmen to the heavens to break the array here, he still gave the vige chief an order.

    His original n was to treat Xi Yue well after leaving andfort the old vige chief''s spirit in heaven. However, he did not expect Xi Yue to turn around so decisively.

    Even if the heart of an emperor was moved now, it would only be for a moment. Xia Wei stood on the spot for a while, and his eyes were filled with gloom again.

    He turned around and continued down the river.

    ¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, another half a month had passed in China. Jun Shiling was still active in the public eye, but Xia Wanyuan still did not appear.

    The topic of "Where did Xia Wanyuan go?" had already fermented to the maximum.

    [ Where did Xia Wanyuan go? Even if she''s missing, she has to give an exnation¡­ She''s not some third party. She''s the representative of China, the wife of the richest man!! Why hasn''t anyone reacted after she disappeared for so long!! ]

    [ What puzzled me the most was that¡­ CEO Jun actually acted as if nothing had happened¡­ In the past two days, I relived the variety show they participated in together. I began to wonder if the two of them were acting lovey-dovey back then. ]

    [ I''ve already told you that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are faking their marriage. You still don''t believe me, right?? Li Na, the daughter of the Blue family in America, is already preparing to marry Jun Shiling. What bullsh*t love is nothing. ]

    Among the manyments, there were some scandals about Jun Shiling and Li Na.

    Everyone thought that the haters were spreading rumors. Unexpectedly, not long after, Li Na personally arrived in China and registered a Chinese social media ount.

    The first person she followed on Weibo was Jun Shiling. She even posted a post.

    @ Li Na: "@ Jun Shiling, I''m very happy to walk the rest of the way with you."

    When this post was posted, the entire Inte erupted.

    [ F*ck, what did I see¡­ This is too much. As expected, men are the most honest when they are hung on the wall. I really didn''t expect even Jun Shiling to have a change of heart. ]

    [ So, I can''t see Xia Wanyuan now because Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are divorced? It''s shocking my entire family. ]<novelnext></novelnext>

    [ From the looks of it, the reason why Xia Wanyuan disappeared is very easy to understand¡­ Is it because Jun Shiling had a change of heart and she was too sad and hid? ]

    [ I don''t believe in love anymore¡­ Men are really dogs. Even Jun Shiling has a change of heart. What man won''t change his mind??? ]

    In the Beijing Hotel, the staff tried to stop Li Na from posting on Weibo, but in the end, they could not stop her.

    "What are you afraid of?" Li Na was very calm. "Xia Wanyuan is missing. What''s there to worry about? Behind me is the entire Blue family. I don''t believe Jun Shiling isn''t tempted."

    "But Miss." The assistant had seen Jun Shiling once and had a deep impression of him. He kept feeling that Jun Shiling was not an easy person to control. "Will this anger him?"

    "Didn''t I just post a status?" Li Na rolled her eyes. "If he wants to be calctive, I''ll say that I''m talking about the cooperation between the two families in the future."

    At this moment, Jun Shiling did not have the time to pay attention to Li Na. The ordinary people did not know where Xia Wanyuan had gone, but to many powerful forces, they vaguely received the news.

    Xia Wanyuan was taken away by K.

    No matter who took Xia Wanyuan away, to these people, Xia Wanyuan''s departure was equivalent to exposing Jun Shiling''s huge weakness.

    Countless forces joined forces to surround the Jun Corporation. Jun Shiling slept less than three hours a day on average.

    After an international meeting, Jun Shiling walked to the office and looked up to see Old Master Jun standing at the door.

    Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Old Master. "Grandpa, why are you here?"

    The old master did not look good. He turned and walked to the office. "Come in alone."

    After Jun Shiling and Old Master entered the office, Lin Jing went forward to help close the door. The moment the door closed, Lin Jing clearly heard the p in the room.

    His expression froze. After closing the door, he guarded it and did not let anyone approach.

    In the room, even though he had been pped, Jun Shiling''s expression did not change.

    Old Master Jun looked at Jun Shiling with red eyes. "Do you want to die???! You don''t want your home anymore, right?? The butler said that you haven''t returned to the manor for an entire month."

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and did not meet Old Master''s gaze. "Home? How do I have a home?"

    Home was where Xia Wanyuan was. Now, every de of grass and tree in the manor would only remind him of Xia Wanyuan, so he was unwilling to go back.

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s expression, Old Master sighed. "I know you''re sad. How can my heart not ache when Wanyuan leaves? But you still have two sons. Do you want Jiajin to be the Xiao Bao that no one doted on and loved in the past?"

    Jun Shiling was silent.

    Old Master Jun sat on the sofa trembling. He looked at the dejected Jun Shiling. "Take it that I''m begging you, okay?"

    Jun Shiling looked up with a deep gaze. "Grandpa, I understand."

    "There''s one more thing. Are you preparing to find a stepmother for Xiao Bao??"

    "What do you mean?"

    "Go and look at the Inte." The old master shook his head. "Although Wanyuan isn''t around, not everyone can touch the position of the mistress of the Jun family. Handle it properly."

 Chapter 1458 Desert

    After receiving Old Master Jun''s reminder, Jun Shiling took a look at the news online.

    However, before he could call Lin Jing in, Li Na called.

    "CEO Jun." Li Na''s voice was extremely gentle. In the middle of the night, it was so gentle that water could be pinched out.

    "Miss Li Na, I''m CEO Jun''s assistant," Lin Jing replied politely.

    Li Na''s voice instantly returned to normal. "Where''s your CEO Jun? Give him the phone."

    "I''m sorry, Miss Li Na. Our CEO Jun doesn''t answer strange women''s calls. Our Madam Jun doesn''t like such actions."

    "Pfft." Li Na smiled in disdain. "Madam Jun?? I advise you to respect me. It''s not certain who Mrs. Jun will be in the future."

    Hearing Li Na''s words, even someone as calm as Lin Jing wanted tough. "Really? Then let''s talk about it after Miss Li Na bes Mrs. Jun."

    With that, Lin Jing hung up and looked at Jun Shiling. "CEO Jun, I''ll get someone to deal with it."

    "Mm, is the chip reacting?"

    "Not at the moment."

    "Got it. Go out first."

    "Yes." As Lin Jing walked out, he looked at Jun Shiling worriedly. In the end, he could not help but remind him, "CEO Jun, you still have a meeting tomorrow. Please rest early."

    Jun Shiling did not speak and only waved his hand.

    Lin Jing sighed in his heart and finally left the office silently.

    The huge office was empty. Jun Shiling sat on the sofa, took a brush from the side, and began to practice calligraphy on the rice paper.

    And he had written three words, "Xia Wanyuan".

    In the dead of the night, the moon was quiet, and the entire world fell silent. Only the lights on the top floor of the Jun Corporation were not switched off the entire night.

    The next morning, just as everyone woke up, they were amused by the Weibo post from the Jun Corporation.<novelnext></novelnext>

    @ Jun Corporation: "@ Li Na, no cooperation, no marriage, no interaction."

    [ Good lord¡­ Simple and crude. It''s indeed the style I''m familiar with, CEO Jun. Hahahahahaha. ]

    [ I knew it¡­ I can still believe in love¡­ But where did Xia Wanyuan go? She''s already a world superstar, right¡­ She''s already at the peak of the entertainment industry, but she disappeared. What a loss. ]

    [ Li Na seems to have always been interested in CEO Jun¡­ This is so obvious. Isn''t it awkward? ]

    Li Na did not expect Jun Shiling to embarrass her so directly. She brought people and barged into the Jun Corporation angrily, but she was personally stopped by Lin Jing.

    Looking at Lin Jing''s cold expression, Li Na was furious. "Just you wait. When I marry Jun Shiling, I''ll get him to change you first!!"

    Lin Jing made an inviting gesture and smiled. "Okay."

    Li Na had lost all her face in China. She left China angrily and returned to America toin to Lin Man. However, just as she walked to the airport, she was stopped by Chu Yi''s subordinate.

    "Miss Li Na, our young master invites you."

    Li Na was a little afraid of Chu Yi. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."

    The ne carried them to Continent F.

    In the vast desert, Xia Wei looked up when he heard the rumbling above his head. In the distance, a ck thing that looked like a bird slid past his head.

    Worried that it was a hidden weapon, Xia Weiy on the ground and waited for the ne to pass before standing up.

    He followed the underground river and left the bottom of the valley. What he did not expect was that at the end of the river was a vast desert.

    He had been walking in this desert for a long time. Not to mention a figure, there was not even a living creature.

    Xia Wei licked his dry lips. The sunlight had already made him a little dazed.

    Thinking that there should be a water source in the direction the "big bird" was flying, Xia Wei forced himself to walk south.

 Chapter 1459 Xia Wei Was Saved

    After all, Xia Wei had nevere into contact with modern matters. He thought that there would be a water source wherever the "big bird" flew over, but he did not know that where nes could cross, human strength could not.

    The further south he went, the higher the temperature became. The endless desert seemed to have no end.

    The scorching sun shone on his body. Xia Wei tried his best to swallow his saliva, but his throat was already as dry as wood dregs. There was no moisture at all. Even the act of swallowing made him instantly feel a sharp pain.

    Xia Wei could not hold on anymore and sat by a rock. He looked at the slow yellow sand in front of him and finally could not help but close his eyes slightly.

    I didn''t even know what era it is and am about to die?

    Under the scorching sun, Xia Wei''s eyelids became heavier and heavier. In the end, he could not take it anymore and fell.

    At this moment, a team of SUVs passed by in the distance.

    In the yellow sand, Xia Wei was very eye-catching.

    "Boss, there seems to be a woman in front." Seeing the long hair behind Xia Wei, the subordinate subconsciously thought that it was a woman.

    The person called Boss sat behind the car. She nced at him from afar and said, "Bring her along. Take it as a reward for the brothers."

    "Yes."

    The car stopped and quickly brought Xia Wei over.

    Xia Wei was wearing a long robe and his hair was tied up behind him. He was clearly dressed as a woman, but his handsome face that made one feel a strong sense of power even with his eyes closed did not make one doubt his gender at all.

    "F*ck, it''s a man." The subordinate who had picked Xia Wei up threw him to the ground in disdain. "How unlucky. Let''s go."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Wait." At this moment, the person in the car spoke. Her gentle voice made one''s heart turn cold. Everyone hurriedly stood aside respectfully.

    A fair hand reached out of the car window. "Get his face up for me to see."

    The subordinates hurriedly raised Xia Wei''s face slightly for the people in the car to take a closer look.

    After a while, the woman in the car chuckled. "He''s not bad-looking. Let the doctor treat him. I wonder what he''ll look like when he opens his eyes."

    As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates brought Xia Wei to the car behind and called the doctor to treat him. They also prepared enough food.

    The SUV ran wildly across the vast desert. The starry sky sprinkled darks, and the morning star not far away flickered slightly.

    Amidst the sound of wheels and fine sand, the person on the simple bed finally woke up.

    The moment Xia Wei regained consciousness, he sensed that there were people around. He quietly opened his eyes slightly and took a look. Beside him, a person in white was taking a nap. Another tall man in dark green clothes was holding an unknown ck thing in his hand and looking out of the window warily.

    Although the current situation was unknown and everything was unknown, Xia Wei forced himself to calm down.

    He could feel the pain in his body. He was alive, which meant that he had been saved.

    If the old vige chief and the rest were right, he should really be a thousand yearster, and these people in strange clothes were people from a thousand yearster.

    In his long career in power, Xia Wei knew very well that harmless and non-threatening people were the ones who could earn others'' trust the most.

    He covered the darkness in his eyes and looked at the man in white. "Excuse me."

 Chapter 1460 Gorgeous Face

    Hearing Xia Wei''s voice, the doctor, who had been taking a nap just now, instantly woke up. He nced at Xia Wei, who was already awake, then patted the bodyguard''s arm. "He''s awake. Hurry up and report."

    The bodyguard turned around and nced at Xia Wei. Xia Wei coughed lightly and his face was pale, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

    The bodyguard stood up disdainfully. "I really don''t know what''s the use of saving such a useless person."

    He walked to the car window in front. "Boss, the person behind is already awake. Should we bring him over?"

    The woman in the car replied, "Bring him over for me to take a look."

    Soon, Xia Wei was carried to the front.

    In his previous life, Xia Wei was the most handsome man in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even though he was very haggard now, he could not hide his pride and elegance.

    The woman in the car seemed to be very interested in Xia Wei. A fair hand pushed open the car door and the woman in the car walked out.

    Amidst the lights, a woman who was as beautiful as mes and was wearing ck hot pants walked out. Her fair and slender legs burned Xia Wei''s eyes.

    Her figure was extremely good, and her every frown and smile was charming. However, among the many men present, none of them dared to look her in the eye. In fact, if one looked carefully, they could discover everyone''s fear of her.

    Xia Wei acutely noticed this. He turned his head calmly and looked a little shy. "Miss."

    The woman smiled. "What miss? My name is Chu Man."

    "The moth-browed man''s face is so beautiful that it''s enough to topple a country." Xia Wei did not look at Chu Man''s face and recited a poem.

    Chu Man raised her hand and gently apuded. "I really didn''t expect to pick up a schr like you in this desert."

    "I was just escaping from a disaster." As Xia Wei spoke, he restrained his aura. Not only did he not suppress Chu Man, but he also vaguely had the intention of lowering his head to her. However, the pride on his body was like a mountain.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Chu Man looked at Xia Wei quietly. "I picked you up. You''re mine. Come with me."

    Xia Wei looked angry. "I''m a schr..."

    ? Xia Wei''s resistance aroused Chu Man''s interest. She smiled like a rose blooming in the mes. "Aren''t you considered a schr by reading to me?"

    With that, Chu Man returned to the car. "Go to the back and recuperate before meeting me."

    Chu Man''s car had already started. The bodyguard pushed Xia Wei. "You''re so lucky. Hurry up and get back into the car. We''re preparing to set off."

    Xia Wei nodded obediently and followed the bodyguard into the car.

    Xia Wei was unfamiliar with everything in front of him, but he was not unfamiliar with the human heart.

    He chose the doctor in white as his target and asked him for a lot of information during their casual conversation.

    The doctor was someone who had been poached from China. Usually, there was no one in the team who could talk. After all, this entire team was filled with people who yed with guns. Chu Man was well-read, but he did not dare to chat with Chu Man.

    Now that he had finally met a young man who spoke properly and looked innocent, the doctor wished he could tell Xia Wei everything he knew.

    Xia Wei quickly filtered out information that was useful to him and did not sleep the entire night, thinking about how to escape.

    The next morning, Xia Wei got out of the car at dawn. He wanted to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

    However, Xia Wei was stunned when he saw the scene outside the door.

 Chapter 1461 - 1461 Acquaintance

    1461 Acquaintance

    This was an extremely luxurious vi. Flowers bloomed, and it waspletely different from the desert from before. There was life everywhere.

    Seeing that Xia Wei was in a daze, the bodyguard touched him disdainfully. ¡°Make Boss happy and your life will be saved.¡±

    ¡°What if I can¡¯t make her happy?¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t coax her?¡± The bodyguard looked at Xia Wei mockingly. ¡°I can only tell you that before you, there are already 20 men buried in this garden.¡±

    As the two of them spoke, a person not far away drove in and wanted to barge in. The bodyguard fired and instantly killed the intruder.

    Looking at the muzzle that was still emitting ck smoke in front of him, Xia Wei¡¯s eyes narrowed.

    Thousands of thoughts shed across his mind in an instant. Xia Wei quickly adjusted his expression and looked at the bodyguard. ¡°What freedom do I have here?¡±

    ¡°Freedom?¡± The bodyguard was amused by Xia Wei¡¯s words. ¡°You just have the freedom to walk around your courtyard.¡±

    ¡°Can I watch television?¡± Xia Wei suddenly asked, startling the bodyguard.

    ¡°Up to you.¡± The bodyguard could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Xia Wei anymore. He looked at the time. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring you in. I¡¯m going to the training.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    The outside of the vi looked big, but the inside was even bigger. Xia Wei had his own courtyard. He walked into the room and looked around. He did not recognize all the appliances.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how to use these. Can you find someone to teach me?¡± Xia Wei¡¯s tone was very gentle, and it could even be said to be a little fawning.

    However, when he met Xia Wei¡¯s cold eyes, the bodyguard could not help but nod. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it immediately.¡±

    The bodyguard found a servant to exin the usage of various machines to Xia Wei. Xia Wei learned after watching the demonstration once. He smiled kindly at the servant. ¡°Thank you. I want to rest.¡±

    The door closed and Xia Wei turned on the television.

    He had heard from the doctor that television contained all sorts of things. If he wanted to understand current events, watching television was the best choice.

    He turned on the television ording to what the servant had taught him just now. However, the moment the television was turned on, Xia Wei¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°Under the Sky¡± had won a grand m award at the Os ceremony. Not only was it especially popr in the country, but foreign television stations were also broadcasting this television drama.

    On the television, Xia Wanyuan was slowly walking over from the stream in the mountains.

    Looking at her cool eyes, Xia Wei¡¯s eyes even turned red for a moment.

    This was his royal sister. He knew.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s temperament was unique. It was impossible for Xia Wei, who had grown up by her side, to be wrong.

    A smile finally appeared in Xia Wei¡¯s gloomy eyes. My royal sister is also in this world.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s lustrousplexion, Xia Wei felt that Xia Wanyuan should be doing well, and the worry in his heart lessened.

    He looked at his surroundings and his expression froze.

    That Chu Man had saved him, but at the same time, she had trapped him in this ce. He had to think of a way to go out and look for Xia Wanyuan as soon as possible.

    At this moment, in the hall in front, Chu Man leaned back in her chairzily. ¡°How¡¯s my good brother¡¯s rtionship with K recently??¡±

    The subordinate lowered his head respectfully. ¡°Not good. Thest time Young Master joined forces with Sea Shark to ambush K, K rarely appeared recently. He evenpletely fell out with Sea Shark.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Chu Man raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since my good brother and K have fallen out, go and prepare a generous gift for me. I¡¯ve been in Continent F for so long, but I¡¯ve never gotten to know K.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

 Chapter 1462 - 1462 Studying Medicine

    1462 Studying Medicine

    After the subordinate left, Chu Man looked at the butler. ¡°Where¡¯s that man?¡±

    ¡°He was sent to the backyard.¡±

    ¡°Get him toe and eat with meter.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Xia Wei was still wearing the rough long robe he had brought out of the valley and had long hair.

    Seeing him like this, displeasure shed across the butler¡¯s eyes. ¡°Our Miss Chu hates long-haired men the most. I¡¯ll get someone to cut your hairter.¡±

    To Xia Wei, he received his body, hair and skin from his parents, so any damage was disrespectful to his ancestors.

    However, Xia Wei was deeply influenced by Xia Wanyuan. He knew very well that being pedantic would only bring trouble. In the current situation, he could not be too different from the others.

    Xia Wei did not reject the butler¡¯s suggestion. He nodded. ¡°Okay, sorry to trouble you.¡±

    The stylist arrived quickly. After so many days, Xia Wei had finally taken a thorough hot shower. He sat in front of the mirror and allowed the stylist to cut his hair.

    Xia Wei half-closed his eyes and took a nap until the stylist¡¯s exmation brought him out of his thoughts.

    Xia Wei opened his eyes and saw his new self in the mirror.

    His facial features were extremely good. After his long hair was cut, he was less elegant and more agile. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. The butler sighed.

    No wonder he received preferential treatment from Chu Man. Such a temperament was really rare.

    During dinner, Xia Wei ate with Chu Man. Chu Man was also stunned by Xia Wei for a moment. She held the red wine ss and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°I think I picked up a treasure??¡±

    Xia Wei unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat beside Chu Man. ¡°Can we start eating? I¡¯m a little hungry.¡±

    Chu Man¡¯s gaze darted around Xia Wei¡¯s face, and there was obvious interest in her eyes. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Base.

    Children grew up very quickly. When she first arrived, Little Xiaxia was still a little bean. Now, she had grown up a little more than before, and her facial features were even more exquisite. Just sitting there quietly, she looked like a little doll.

    The base was silent all year round, especially beside Yu Qian. Everyone¡¯s breathing was especially soft. However, in the past few days, Yu Qian had been the most lively in the entire base.

    After all, Little Xiaxia loved to smile. When sheughed, it was like golden beans touching a bell, emitting a series of crisp and pleasantughter.

    Little Xiaxia was beautiful. When she smiled, the rity in her eyes was irresistible. The people here had been trained to be numb and emotionless since they were young.

    However, facing Little Xiaxia¡¯s harmless innocence, everyone subconsciously softened their attitudes.

    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Looking at the test tube in Yu Qian¡¯s hand, Little Xiaxia waved her hand. It looked like candy and she wanted to eat it.

    Yu Qian tilted his body slightly and removed Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand. ¡°You can¡¯t eat this.¡±

    Little Xiaxia looked at Yu Qian aggrievedly, her round eyes wet and filled with usation.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia¡¯s expression, Yu Qian was not angry. He took out a candy from his pocket and brought it to Little Xiaxia¡¯s mouth. ¡°Eat this.¡±

    Little Xiaxia did not want to do it. She crawled towards Yu Qian from the table, grabbed Yu Qian¡¯s sleeve, and looked at him pitifully.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia¡¯s bambi-like eyes, Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. ¡°No.¡±

    Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyes became even more moist. She looked like she was about to cry and was very difficult to coax.

    Yu Qian frowned slightly and repeated, ¡°You can¡¯t eat this.¡±

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s cold tone, the people standing beside him looked at each other. Some had even taken a step back, ready to run at any time.

    In the past, when Yu Qian spoke in this tone, it meant that someone was about to disappear from this world.

    Everyone looked at Little Xiaxia regretfully. Such a cute little girl. What a pity.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, to Little Xiaxia, she could not sense that Yu Qian was angry at all. In her opinion, Yu Qian was just a little different from usual. His eyebrows seemed to be a little higher than before.

    Little Xiaxia reached out and gently stroked Yu Qian¡¯s eyebrows, as if she wanted to tten them.

    Feeling the warmth of Little Xiaxia¡¯s fingertips, Yu Qian paused for a moment. He looked at Little Xiaxia¡¯s pure eyes and the impatience in his heart was inexplicably soothed.

    ¡°Get someone to make a candy that looks like a test tube. Make it bitter.¡± Yu Qian looked at the person beside him and instructed.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Soon, a test tube-like soft candy was brought over. Yu Qian handed it to Little Xiaxia.

    The moment it entered her mouth, Little Xiaxia¡¯s tongue was stunned by the extremely bitter taste.

    The next second, she spat out the thing with a crying expression. She could not say anything and could only look at Yu Qian aggrievedly.

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Are you still eating this in the future?¡±

    Looking at the test tube in front of her, Little Xiaxia reached out and pushed it away. She looked at Yu Qian with a pair of pure eyes as if asking for help.

    Yu Qian reached out and threw all the test tubes in front of him into the trash can. Then, he pulled Little Xiaxia into his arms. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to touch this in the future.¡±

    It was unknown if Little Xiaxia understood, but she kept holding Yu Qian¡¯s sleeve and smiling.

    Yu Qian felt that she was fun and reached out to pinch Little Xiaxia¡¯s face. Yu Qian felt that she was fun and reached out to pinch Little Xiaxia¡¯s face.

    He had never interacted with others, but now, feeling the warm skin on his fingertips, Yu Qian did not feel any difort.

    At this moment, a subordinate walked over from the door. ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a message from the Burning Rose.¡±

    Hearing these words, Yu Qian looked up slightly. ¡°She returned to Continent F?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The subordinate nodded respectfully. ¡°The Chu family already knows. They haven¡¯t contacted her yet. The first person Chu Man contacted after returning was you.¡±

    ¡°Mm, what letter did she send?¡±

    ¡°She wants to meet you.¡±

    Yu Qian thought for a while and nodded. ¡°Sure.¡±

    Although Chu Man¡¯s surname was also Chu, Chu Man had been chased out of the Chu family back then. Her deep hatred for the Chu family was probably deeper than the Chu family and the Feng family.

    Chu Man must have found him to deal with Chu Yi.

    Yu Qian carried Little Xiaxia and stood up. He looked at his subordinate. ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s practicing at the shooting range.¡±

    Yu Qian brought Little Xiaxia to the shooting range. Before they approached, they could hear the deafening sound of bullets. This was a real training ground with all sorts of high-quality weapons.

    Xia Wanyuan stood in the field and trained. Sweat had already soaked her clothes.

    Seeing Yu Qian walk over, Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes and aimed the gun at him.

    Yu Qian slowly walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a calm expression. He nced at the target in front of him. ¡°Your skills are not bad.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan moved the gun away and nced at Yu Qian¡¯s hand that was hugging Little Xiaxia. ¡°Is her eating today normal?¡±

    ¡°She ate very well.¡± Speaking of this, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Your child is much more likable than other children.¡±

 Chapter 1463 Siblings Meet

    Xia Wanyuan put the gun aside and took a towel to wipe the sweat off her forehead. "Are you nning to keep me here like this?"

    "Of course not." Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan''s even more lustrous face after the exercise. His eyes flickered. "In the future, work with me."

    "I''ll do things with you?" Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian in confusion. "Aren''t you worried that I''ll destroy your matters??"

    Xia Wanyuan knew that Yu Qian would not harm her life, but she did not expect Yu Qian to be so tolerant of her. During this period of time, not only could she move freely in the entire base, but she could also enter when Yu Qian was in a meeting.

    Sometimes, Xia Wanyuan really did not know what Yu Qian was thinking.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan''s words, Yu Qian was neither angry nor angry. Instead, there was a hint of interest in his eyes. "That should be quite interesting, provided you have the ability."

    Yu Qian did not mind. If she could understand this ce more, Xia Wanyuan naturally would not reject him. She smiled faintly. "Okay, I have another matter."

    "Tell me."

    "I want to learn medicine from you. Teach me." Xia Wanyuan''s tone was not fawning. Instead, it was a littlemanding.

    Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan for a while. Xia Wanyuan looked straight into his eyes with a hint of provocation.

    "Okay." To everyone''s surprise, Yu Qian agreed. "Follow me to theboratoryter."

    "Mm."

    "There''s something else." Yu Qian carried Little Xiaxia and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around as if he had thought of something. "From now on, you''re my assistant. Come with me to the meeting tomorrow."

    "Mm." Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    After Yu Qian left, Xia Wanyuan picked up the gun and began to practice again.

    The assistant beside Yu Qian could not help but turn to look at Xia Wanyuan. The inner strength on Xia Wanyuan that seemed to be able to conquer everything was shockingly tenacious.

    The assistant turned to look at Yu Qian. "Boss."

    "Tell me."

    "This Xia Wanyuan, you gave her so much freedom. If she does anything to harm you..."

    When Xia Wanyuan first arrived at the base, everyone felt that this woman was so unyielding and arrogant. She would definitely not live for more than a week. However, no one expected that not only did Xia Wanyuan survive, but she was also living quite well.

    The free space she had was getting bigger and bigger. Now, she could even be Yu Qian''s personal assistant. This was equivalent to recing Jayce''s previous position. They did not know Yu Qian''s thoughts. They only felt that if this continued, there would really be a problem.

    Yu Qian stopped and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan, who was shooting. "Don''t you think this is more interesting??"

    The assistant did not understand Yu Qian''s words. He looked up at Yu Qian with a confused expression. "What do you mean?"

    Yu Qian did not answer his assistant. His gaze focused on Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan was looking at the target opposite her. With a slight movement of her wrist, the bullet pierced straight into the center. Xia Wanyuan retracted her gun, her exquisite side profile revealing endless confidence. She stood there quietly, her mountain-like determined soul inexplicably attracting the attention of others.

    Yu Qian''s eyes flickered. This world was so boring. It was rare to have an interesting person. Why would I lock her in a cage? He wanted to see how muchmotion Xia Wanyuan could cause.

    Yu Qian said that he wanted to teach Xia Wanyuan medicine, so he was not vague at all.

    In the afternoon, Yu Qian brought Xia Wanyuan into hisboratory. Xia Wanyuan did not know much about medicine, but she could feel that Yu Qian had taught her quite core knowledge.

    Xia Wanyuan learned very seriously andprehended quickly. Soon, she could do some simple surgeries. Even Yu Qian looked sideways. "As expected, smart people learn everything quickly."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "You taught me well," Xia Wanyuan said politely.

    Yu Qian retracted his gaze. "That''s all for today''s training. Go back and rest. Follow me out tomorrow."

    "Mm."

    After Yu Qian left, Xia Wanyuan looked at the medicine in front of her and was a little excited.

    She could finally leave this ce for the time being. The fake world was still the fake world. Even though everything in the base was done the same as on the ground, it gave off a rather oppressive feeling.

    Taking this opportunity, she could go out and see what it was like outside.

    The next morning, Yu Qian brought Xia Wanyuan out.

    The assistant took the blindfold and wanted to put it on Xia Wanyuan. Everyone who entered and left the base wore the blindfold like this because they had to prevent them from revealing confidential information and the location of the base to outsiders.

    However, when the blindfold was handed to Xia Wanyuan, she rejected it. She looked at Yu Qian. "Are you still afraid that I''ll see what''s outside?"

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s bright eyes, Yu Qian waved his hand. "There''s no need to wear it. y a round of chess with me."

    It was indeed a pity if such beautiful eyes were covered by a piece of cloth.

    Xia Wanyuan sat beside Yu Qian, took the chess piece, and began to y with him. Their temperaments werepletely different, but their chess skills were equally profound, so they fought back and forth.

    After some time, the ne finallynded. Xia Wanyuan looked out and saw a vast sea.

    Yu Qian threw a mask in front of Xia Wanyuan. "Put this on."

    With that, Yu Qian stood up and walked out. Xia Wanyuan followed.

    At this moment, on the boat beside her, Chu Many on the soft couch and nced at Xia Wei, who was not far away. "Your tea is not bad."

    Xia Wei smiled slightly. "You tter me."

    Chu Man sat up and stretched. "I''ll go out first. Stay here and make me a cup of tea when Ie back."

    "Okay."

    Chu Man casually put on a coat and walked out of the cabin. Xia Wei sat on the sofa and looked to the side.

    Chu Man was talking to a tall man. Xia Wei was about to retract his gaze when he saw the masked person beside the man and frowned in confusion.

    Why did I feel that this person gave me a very familiar feeling?

    That figure and jawline is clearly my imperial sister.

    However, isn''t my sister a celebrity and is acting? How could she be here?

    Xia Wei thought that he had missed Xia Wanyuan too much and had seen wrongly. He retracted his gaze and began to brew tea again.

    At this moment, in the cabin on the other side, Chu Man and Yu Qian sat down. Chu Man took a cup and drank a mouthful of water. "Tsk, this tea is really not good. I brought someone over. His tea is brewed quite well. I''ll let him try."

    With that, Chu Man waved at the cabin behind her. "Come here."

    ..................

 Chapter 1464 Recognized

    When Xia Wei came over, Chu Man looked at Xia Wanyuan curiously. "That''s strange. I can actually see a woman beside Boss K."

    "Is it very strange?" Yu Qian nced at Chu Man. "Isn''t Miss Chu also surrounded by confidants?"

    Chu Man lit a cigarette and gently spat out a circle. She smiled enchantingly. "Isn''t it normal for me to have a man by my side?? Boss K has a woman by his side. It can be said to be unprecedented. I''m quite curious who this is. I heard that Jun Shiling..."

    Before Chu Man could finish speaking, Yu Qian interrupted her. "If the reason you called me here today is to say some meaningless gossip, then there''s no need to talk about this today."

    "Boss K, your temper has improved." Chu Man flicked the cigarette ash. "Let''s not talk about it anymore."

    At this moment, Xia Wei had already walked to Chu Man''s side. "Miss Chu."

    "Mm." Chu Man nodded slightly and gestured for Xia Wei to look at the teacup on the table. "Make a cup of tea for Boss K."

    "Okay."

    Xia Wei turned around and nced at Yu Qian. "Hello."

    Seeing Xia Wei''s face, Yu Qian''s eyes narrowed. He tilted his head slightly and nced at Xia Wanyuan.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan''s hands under her sleeves werepletely clenched into fists.

    There might be simrities in appearance, but no one could imitate Xia Wei''s unique temperament.

    Xia Wanyuan could not hide the excitement in her heart. She looked straight at Xia Wei with countless questions in her heart.

    Why was Xia Wei revived too? Why is he in Chu Man''s hands?? Does he still remember me?

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s trembling hand, Yu Qian''s eyes darkened. He retracted his gaze and looked carefully at Xia Wei in front of him.

    Xia Wei acted as if he did not see Xia Wanyuan. He calmly picked up the teapot and brewed the tea methodically. Not long after, a fresh fragrance emerged from the cup.

    Xia Wei poured a ss for Yu Qian and Chu Man each. Just as he was about to leave, Yu Qian suddenly said, "The person beside me is a little thirsty. Pour her a ss too."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Okay."

    Xia Wei poured another cup of tea and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. "Miss, please drink tea."

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it, her fingertips trembling slightly.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s fingertips, Xia Wei''s eyes flickered, but he did not look up. When he handed the cup to Xia Wanyuan, he gently touched her pinky.

    Sensing the small movement on her pinky, Xia Wanyuan was 100% certain.

    In her previous life, Xia Wei was especially mischievous when he was still the little prince. Every time he got into trouble, he would secretly touch Xia Wanyuan''s pinky and ask her to help him hide it.

    Xia Wanyuan hid the shock in her eyes and lowered her eyes. "Thank you."

    "Go back and wait for me first," Chu Man said. "I still have something to discuss with Boss K."

    "Okay."

    After Xia Wei left the deck, Chu Man looked at Yu Qian. "Is the woman beside you still going to stay here?"

    "Yes." Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully. "She''s my assistant. There''s no need to hide anything from her."

    "Alright." Chu Man extinguished the cigarette in her hand, took a document, and handed it to Yu Qian. "Chu Yi has been fighting for the firearms business in the south. Are you interested?"

    Yu Qian nced at Xia Wanyuan. "Take a look. How is it?"

    Xia Wanyuan picked up the document and looked at it. "Not very good. High risk, low benefits."

    Chu Man frowned slightly and was about to speak when Yu Qian stood up. "Since she said it''s not suitable, there''s no need to discuss it anymore."

 Chapter 1465 - 1465 Worry

    1465 Worry

    No matter what Chu Man thought, she did not expect Yu Qian to reject the entire cooperation because of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words.

    ¡°Boss K, are you joking with me?? Aren¡¯t you taking me too lightly??¡± Chu Man felt that Yu Qian was looking down on her. Her eyes were filled with anger.

    Yu Qian was very calm. He looked at Xia Wanyuan beside him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what my wife said? She feels that it¡¯s not suitable. I¡¯ve always listened to her.¡±

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, everyone present was stunned. Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Yu Qian. There was no expression in Yu Qian¡¯s cold eyes. Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, the corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    !!

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    Behind Yu Qian, Chu Man¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back.

    The news of Madam Jun Shiling¡¯s disappearance had long spread throughout the world. Now, there was suddenly a woman beside Yu Qian. Furthermore, even though this woman was wearing a mask, she could not hide her bearing. It really made one have to think more.

    Yu Qian was famous for being ruthless. Chu Man guessed that this woman who suddenly appeared beside him was Jun Shiling¡¯s wife, but why would Yu Qian let Jun Shiling¡¯s woman follow him so easily?

    Chu Man did not stop them anymore. She quietly watched Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan leave. When their backspletely disappeared from the sea, Chu Man got someone to call Xia Wei over.

    ¡°You know that person??¡± Chu Man looked at Xia Wei, her eyes changing unpredictably. When Xia Wei handed Xia Wanyuan the teacup just now, although Xia Wanyuan had hidden it very well, Chu Man could still see the emotions in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. That gaze clearly indicated that she and Xia Wei knew each other.

    Xia Wei stood upright in front of Chu Man, neither servile nor overbearing. He shook his head. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Displeasure appeared in Chu Man¡¯s eyes. ¡°The way you look at her doesn¡¯t seem like you don¡¯t know her.¡±

    ¡°She looks a little like a deceased sister of mine,¡± Xia Wei said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

    Just now, in order not to let others discover his emotions, Xia Wei had specially not looked at Xia Wanyuan. He had only taken a quick nce. Now, Xia Wei felt a little regretful.

    If he had known that Chu Man would notice, he would not have deliberately hidden it and would have taken another look at Xia Wanyuan. He had only taken a cursory nce just now. He felt that Xia Wanyuan seemed to have lost some weightpared to his impression.

    Chu Man looked at Xia Wei for a while. Seeing that the sorrow on him did not seem fake, she waved her hand. ¡°Stop dreaming. She¡¯s Boss K¡¯s favorite. The next time you look at her like this, I can¡¯t guarantee that I can protect you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wei hesitated for a moment but could not help but ask, ¡°That Boss K looks a little difficult to get along with.¡±

    Chu Man narrowed her eyes slightly. ¡°Why? Are you worried about others? You¡¯re already my man. Are you concerned about other women in front of me?¡±

    Xia Wei¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I just thought of my sister.¡±

    ¡°My people didn¡¯t find out your background.¡± Chu Man lit a cigarette and blew gently. ¡°You have a sister??¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wei nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m in the desert. I can remember that I have a sister, but I forgot about the rest.¡±

    What Xia Wei said was the truth. Chu Man looked at him quietly for a while and confirmed that he was right, so she did not ask further. He was just a ything to apany her to begin with. Chu Man did not care about his background.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you very good at telling stories? Apany me.¡± Chu Man leaned back in her chair, her eyes rolling slightly with endless charm.

    Xia Wei sat beside Chu Man and began to tell her those strange stories.

    The night gradually enveloped them. The sea breeze gently blew Chu Man¡¯s clothes.

    Her eyes were closed, and her eyshes fluttered gently.

    Xia Wei¡¯s gazended on Chu Man¡¯s face, dark and gloomy.

    Chu Man was a woman he had never seen before. She was vicious, unrestrained, and unpredictable. Almost no one could guess her thoughts.

    However, sometimes, Xia Wei felt that Chu Man was a little fragile. Just like now, when shey quietly, she did not have the domineering aura of conquering everything. She was so soft that it made one want to pity her.

    As if sensing Xia Wei¡¯s gaze on her face, Chu Man closed her eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re the first person who dares to stare at me like this. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll dig out your eyes?¡±

    Xia Wei restrained the emotions in his eyes and smiled gently. ¡°I just thought you were very good-looking, so I took a few more nces.¡±

    Chu Man opened her eyes and met Xia Wei¡¯s ck jade-like eyes. There was no fear, ttery, or fear in those eyes. There was only calm admiration.

    Chu Man watched quietly for a while, then closed her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re sweet. Continue.¡±

    A hint of darkness shed across Xia Wei¡¯s eyes. He knew that he had already passed the first round with Chu Man.

    He did not know the entire world well enough yet. He needed to gain everyone¡¯s trust as soon as possible, then think about how to bring Xia Wanyuan back from that person just now.

    ording to the news he had seen, Xia Wanyuan should be a celebrity in China, but the Xia Wanyuan he had just seen was beside a very dangerous man.

    As Xia Wei told Chu Man a story, his mind raced as he thought about how to be Chu Man¡¯s trusted aide in the shortest time possible.

    On the other hand, Yu Qian was handling documents in the cabin. Seeing that the night was getting darker, Yu Qian put down the documents and walked out of the cabin.

    On the deck not far away, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the railing, thinking about something.

    Yu Qian walked over. ¡°That man just now is your younger brother??¡±

    Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan were too simr. Be it his facial features or temperament, they seemed to be carved from the same mold, so Yu Qian could tell at a nce.

    Xia Wanyuan knew that she could not hide it from Yu Qian. She nodded. ¡°Mm, he¡¯s my lost younger brother.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy to get him out of Chu Man¡¯s hands.¡± Although Chu Man was a woman, she could build her own world in an environment surrounded by wolves. This woman¡¯s ruthlessness even surpassed most men. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to get someone who had entered her territory out.

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at him. ¡°I know.¡±

    She was not worried about Xia Wei¡¯s safety. After all, she knew Xia Wei well. The Xia Wei she had seen on the ship today had already hidden all his sharpness. He had been raised by her alone. Xia Wanyuan knew that Xia Wei had his own ns. She was just wondering why Xia Wei had appeared in this world.

    Other than Xia Wei and I, is there anyone else?

    ¡­¡­-

 Chapter 1466 Leaving

    For some reason, looking at Xia Wanyuan''s gentle frown, Yu Qian was actually a little unhappy. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "y the piano with me."

    "What piano?"

    Yu Qian turned around and gestured for his subordinate to move the piano to the deck.

    He rolled up his sleeves and sat in front of the piano. With a slight movement of his fingertips, gentle music poured out of the piano.

    At this moment, the sky was already dark. On the endless sea, there was only a ship with a dim light driving. The melodious piano music echoed in the world, making it inexplicably mysterious.

    Unlike Yu Qian''s expression and temperament when he yed the piano, the piano music under his fingertips was cheerful and leisurely. In a daze, the darkness and waves that filled the sky seemed to have be a beach under the blue sky. Seagulls flew past not far away.

    Xia Wanyuan stood at the side and listened quietly. Looking at the calm Yu Qian, Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.

    The artistic conception of the piano often disyed a person''s mental state. Such piano music did not seem like something Yu Qian could y. Did this mean that there was actually some hidden calmness in Yu Qian''s heart?

    Halfway through, Yu Qian suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Wanyuan. "Dance."

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. "I don''t want to dance."

    Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly. "No matter how well I treat your daughter, she''s only your daughter, not mine. Are you sure you want to go against me?"

    It was just a dance. Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate anymore. She stood up. "y."

    Yu Qian ced his hand on the piano again. Under the elegant music, the tips of Xia Wanyuan''s feet moved slightly and she danced on the deck.

    Under the moonlight, Xia Wanyuan spun gently like a fairy in the night. In the endless darkness, Xia Wanyuan was like the only light that shone straight into one''s heart.

    As Yu Qian yed the piano, he looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was dancing, and his eyes changed.

    After some time, Yu Qian finally stopped what he was doing. He looked at Xia Wanyuan in front of him and his expression froze. "Do you know? Wei Zimu often told me that Jun Shiling is a very lucky man."

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Yu Qian. "So?"

    Yu Qian suddenly smiled. He raised his hand and stroked the ring in his hand. "I think there''s nothing wrong with what he said."

    Xia Wanyuan''s heart skipped a beat. She carefully recognized the emotions in Yu Qian''s eyes and did not see any other meaning.

    As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was thinking, Yu Qian raised an eyebrow slightly. "I''m not interested in you. I''m just briefly eximing."

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze. Dancing just now had consumed some stamina. Now, she was a little tired and her forehead was covered in sweat.

    Xia Wanyuan had just raised her hand when a handkerchief was ced on her forehead.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up. Yu Qian was holding a handkerchief and wiping her carefully. The distance between the two of them was very close, so close that Xia Wanyuan could clearly see the coldness in Yu Qian''s eyes.

    Xia Wanyuan did not dodge and allowed Yu Qian''s actions.

    After wiping the sweat off Xia Wanyuan''s face, Yu Qian ced the handkerchief in his hand in Xia Wanyuan''s hand and stood up to leave.

    "How long are we staying here?" Xia Wanyuan stopped Yu Qian.

    "We''re leaving now." Yu Qian turned his head slightly. "Although that child is not my daughter, I still want to go back and see her."

    With that, Yu Qian walked straight into the cabin.

    The news of Chu Man returning to Continent F was not hidden from the outside world, so Chu Yi naturally received the news.

    "Young Master, Second Miss has returned to Continent F. Should we take action now that she''s back?" The assistant sent some information to Chu Yi.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Chu Yi casually flipped through it. "She should be back. Haven''t you found that person yet?"

    Speaking of Xia Wei, the assistant looked troubled. "That person seems to have disappeared into thin air. We''ve been searching for him for so long, but there''s no news of him."

    Displeasure shed across Chu Yi''s eyes. "Investigate again."

    "Yes."

    Such a corpse had disappeared for so long and had not appeared. Chu Yi began to wonder if Xia Wei had really disappeared into thin air.

    If he could not find him, all of Chu Yi''s ns could only be put on hold. He pushed the document away and went to the backyard to look for Feng Wuyou.

    Ever since Feng Wuyou woke up, she had been much quieter. Now, she sat in the courtyard and gently stroked her stomach.

    Her three-month-old stomach was already slightly bulging. Chu Yi watched this scene from afar with a hint of warmth in his eyes. He walked to Feng Wuyou''s side and draped his coat over her shoulders.

    Smelling the faint smell of smoke on Chu Yi''s clothes, Feng Wuyou''s stomach surged. She threw the clothes to the ground with an ugly expression.

    Seeing Feng Wuyou like this, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes. "Do you hate me to this extent?"

    Feng Wuyou took a sip of tea and forcefully suppressed the difort in her stomach. "Stay away from me. I won''t feel so ufortable."

    Chu Yi stared fixedly at Feng Wuyou. He raised Feng Wuyou''s chin. "Don''t think that just because you''re pregnant, you can rely on favor and be pampered. Don''t forget your identity."

    Feng Wuyou looked straight at Chu Yi. "Of course I know my identity. Anyway, you''ve already killed my entire family. You shouldn''t mind killing me too. Do it."

    "You!" Chu Yi tightened his grip on Feng Wuyou''s hand, and anger appeared in his eyes.

    Feng Wuyou was not afraid of him and looked straight back at Chu Yi. "You want to kill me? Do it."

    Feng Wuyou''s chin was already red from Chu Yi''s grip. She could already feel Chu Yi''s dense killing intent. However, in the end, Chu Yi still let go of her and left angrily.

    Watching Chu Yi leave, Feng Wuyou looked at a short servant behind her and nodded slightly at her.

    When Chu Yi was angry, he usually liked to drink alone in the study. Only Feng Wuyou knew this habit.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, an escape chain that had been nned for a long time was rapidly running.

    Six hourster, Chu Yi, whose eyes were a little red, finally left the study. He reeked of alcohol. "Bring Feng Wuyou over and let her wash up for me."

    Soon, the servant returned, but he did not bring Feng Wuyou back. "Young Master, Maiden Feng has disappeared."

    At the same time, the ne from Continent F to China had alreadynded at the Beijing airport.

    "CEO Jun, she''s here."

    "Arrange a ce for her to stay. If she needs anything, you can provide it to her."

    "Yes."

    After arranging Feng Wuyou''s matters, Jun Shiling took another document. "Have you checked the man Chu Man brought back?"

    There are no specific photos. The mouths of the people on Chu Man''s side are very tight. We''re still investigating. There should be results soon."

    Jun Shiling nodded. "Leave these things to others. Follow me to Continent F to see Yu Qian."

 Chapter 1467 - 1467 Leaving

    1467 Leaving

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s departure had a huge impact on the entire Jun Corporation. It brought a certain shock to the entire China and even the world.

    People kepting from Ennd and America to ask about the situation, but Jun Shiling stopped them.

    In the royal family of Ennd, the current Prince Charlie had already be the person in charge of the entire Ennd. To be able to ascend to this position, the first person he wanted to share the good news with was Xia Wanyuan. However, looking at the news brought back by his subordinate, Charlie frowned.

    ¡°What do you mean, missing?¡±

    ¡°We waited in China for a long time. Jun Shiling was unwilling to see us. ording to the rumors there, Xia Wanyuan might have divorced Jun Shiling and left with her child.¡± The subordinate reported the exact situation to Prince Charlie in all seriousness.

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Thest time he saw Xia Wanyuan, her rtionship with Jun Shiling seemed quite good. In his opinion, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling should not be heartless people. How could they end up in this state in such a short time?

    ¡°We don¡¯t know the other situations. The only thing we can be sure of now is that Xia Wanyuan hasn¡¯t appeared in public for nearly a month.¡±

    Hearing his subordinate¡¯s report, a troubled expression shed across Prince Charlie¡¯s face.

    ¡°If we can¡¯t find her, it won¡¯t be easy to exin to Young Master An.¡±

    Prince Charlie was talking about An Luo when An Luo appeared at the door.

    An Luo, who had been the head of the family for a while, was no longer like a child from before. His blue eyes were much less innocent and more gloomy. In a daze, it was as if one was seeing the past An Lin.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Wanyuan?¡± An Luo walked in with his men, wrapped in coldness.

    Prince Charlieughed dryly. ¡°Um, let them tell you. I still have a meeting, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    With that, Prince Charlie stood up and left.

    He was really afraid of An Luo. When he saw An Luo previously, he had curly hair and clear eyes, looking obedient and cute.

    Now that he had be the head of the family, that faint smile was even more irresistible than his brother, An Lin. Even though he was more than ten years older than An Luo, he could not stand An Luo looking at him like that.

    Prince Charlie had been in power for a long time, but he could not resist someone as difficult as An Luo.

    The subordinate watched as Prince Charlie slipped away quickly. He carefully nced at the cold An Luo at the door and shouted crazily in his heart.

    Prince, wait for me!!! Help!! I can¡¯t stand against this Young Master An Luo!!!

    Unfortunately, no matter how his subordinate shouted, Prince Charlie could not hear him. He even ran even faster.

    Seeing that Prince Charlie had already run far away, the subordinate leaned forward fearfully. ¡°Master Cape, all of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s information is here. Please take a look.¡±

    An Luo flipped through it and his expression immediately turned ugly. ¡°What do you mean missing? Jun Shiling didn¡¯t react at all?¡±

    ¡°Not for the time being.¡± The subordinate looked at An Luo carefully. ¡°Jun Shiling is still busy with his own matters in China.¡±

    An Luo¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Send someone to look for her immediately. You must find Xia Wanyuan¡¯s whereabouts.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After the subordinate left, An Luo looked at the information on the table, his eyes filled with gloom.

    Why did the heavens take away everyone I cared about?

    An Luo clenched his fists tightly, his expression dark. The thick darkness enveloped him.

    In Linxi, Lin Qingyuan was feeding the fish in the courtyard when his subordinate hurriedly walked in.

    ¡°Master Lin, the youngdy of the Jiang family is here.¡±

    ¡°Let here in.¡±

    Soon, Jiang Yun walked in apanied by Lin Qingdai.

    Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze darted between Jiang Yun and Lin Qingdai, then he threw the fish food in his hand aside. ¡°Sister and Brother-inw, it¡¯s rare for you toe to my ce. What a rare guest.¡±

    ¡°Do you know where Xia Wanyuan is?¡± Jiang Yun went straight to the point. ¡°She hasn¡¯t appeared in a long time. You¡¯ve always been in close contact with those people overseas. You should know some internal news?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea leisurely. ¡°CEO Jiang, what position are you asking me?¡±

    Jiang Yun stared into Lin Qingyuan¡¯s eyes. After a while, she said, ¡°With the status of the Lin family¡¯s daughter-inw, am I qualified?¡±

    After obtaining the answer he wanted, Lin Qingyuan chuckled and put down his teacup. ¡°Since we¡¯re family, there¡¯s no need to say anything. It¡¯s impossible for Xia Wanyuan toe back.¡±

    Jiang Yun tightened her grip on Lin Qingdai¡¯s hand. ¡°What do you mean? So the rumor that she¡¯s under house arrest at K¡¯s is true, right?¡±

    Lin Qingyuan nodded. ¡°She¡¯s with K now. It¡¯s impossible for her to return to China.¡±

    ¡°But Jun Shiling¡­¡±

    ¡°Jun Shiling.¡± The corners of Lin Qingyuan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°He can¡¯t even take care of himself. How can he care about others?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s trip to Continent F did not seed in the end.

    A major ident happened in a production line in the Jun Corporation, implicating dozens of lives. At this moment, Jun Shiling had to stay in the country to deal with it.

    In Continent F, Yu Qian nced at Xia Wanyuan, who was reading not far away. ¡°Aren¡¯t you disappointed at all?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan replied without looking up, ¡°What should I be disappointed in?¡±

    Yu Qian did not ask further. He gently tapped his right hand on the table twice. ¡°What are you looking at? Read it to me.¡±

    Following Yu Qian¡¯s intentions, Xia Wanyuan recited some poems. Yu Qian would asionally ask a few questions, and Xia Wanyuan would patiently answer them.

    The atmosphere between the two of them looked quite harmonious, as if they were ordinary chatting friends. There was no confrontation at all.

    However, the harmony was only temporary. Just as Xia Wanyuan was about to leave after reciting the poem, Yu Qian suddenly stopped her.

    ¡°We¡¯re leaving.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°To a ce Jun Shiling will never be able to find.¡±

    It was not that he did not know the connection between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, but for some reason, he pretended not to see it.

    However, now, Yu Qian had changed his mind.

    He wanted to leave with Xia Wanyuan to a ce Jun Shiling could never find.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°Doesn¡¯t your agreement back then count?¡±

    The corners of Yu Qian¡¯s lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. ¡°Yes, but do you think Jun Shiling will still believe in you, and wait for you for ten years??¡±

    With that, Yu Qian waved his hand and gestured for Xia Wanyuan to leave. ¡°Go and pack your things. I don¡¯t n to give you too much time. Ten minutes is enough, right? Ten minutester, I want to see you here.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned to leave.

 Chapter 1468 - 1468 Castle Lord

    1468 Castle Lord

    No wonder. Xia Wanyuan recalled the situation on the way here today. I knew that there seemed to be more people in the base today.

    Furthermore, along the way, everyone was packing up and cleaning the entire base.

    Xia Wanyuan only thought that Yu Qian was preparing for some event and did not take it to heart. Now that she thought about it, Yu Qian was organizing everyone to move out of this ce.

    Now, her resistance was useless. To Yu Qian, he was only informing Xia Wanyuan and had no intention of discussing with her.

    Xia Wanyuan was only stunned on the spot for a moment before leaving.

    If what Yu Qian said was true, he had only given her ten minutes. She wanted to maximize these ten minutes.

    Back in the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan used the time to pack her things to ce the chip in her hand in the crack of the bed. Then, she only took some simple tools and did not touch anything else.

    Ten minutester, Xia Wanyuan arrived in the living room with a small package. Yu Qian nced at her and reached out to her. ¡°I¡¯ll carry it for you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan retreated slightly. ¡°No need.¡±

    However, Yu Qian was very persistent. He reached out to take the box. He carried the box in one hand and Little Xiaxia in the other, preparing to leave with Little Xiaxia and Xia Wanyuan.

    Although Little Xiaxia could not speak yet, she could sense the change in the environment. The child was still not used to this change. She struggled in Yu Qian¡¯s arms and tears began to appear in her eyes.

    ¡°Wah!¡±

    Hearing Little Xiaxia¡¯s cries, Xia Wanyuan reached out to take her, but Yu Qian stopped her with his eyes. ¡°Go out first.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. ¡°What do you want??¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± Yu Qian sneered. ¡°What can I do?? I¡¯m going to kill her, okay??¡±

    When Yu Qian said this, Xia Wanyuan let down her guard a little. She nced at Little Xiaxia, then left the room and walked out.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Yu Qian lowered his head and nced at Little Xiaxia. ¡°Alright, stop crying.¡±

    Little Xiaxia looked at Yu Qian curiously, then stopped crying as if she understood Yu Qian¡¯s words and looked at him with wide eyes.

    Yu Qian reached out and pinched Little Xiaxia¡¯s face as a reward. Little Xiaxia, who had been crying just now, smiled foolishly at Yu Qian.

    A hint of fluctuation shed across Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. ¡°You¡¯re much more likable than your mother.¡±

    After coaxing Little Xiaxia, Yu Qian carried her out of the room with his bag in one hand, signaling Xia Wanyuan to follow him.

    Watching the three of them leave, the subordinates looked at each other behind. Only after Yu Qian walked far away did everyone dare to discuss.

    ¡°Have you seen the boss take something for others?? Why do I feel that something¡¯s wrong??¡±

    ¡°Is there anything right recently¡­ Why don¡¯t you say that the boss is raising someone else¡¯s daughter?¡±

    ¡°What exactly is Boss doing??? I can¡¯t tell that he has other thoughts about Xia Wanyuan, but his attitude towards Xia Wanyuan and her daughter is very strange. I actually inexplicably see doting¡­ What do you think?¡±

    ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Follow him quickly. The ne is leaving in a while. We must not interfere in the boss¡¯s matters. Haven¡¯t you learned enough from Jayce¡¯s lesson¡­ Perhaps one day, we¡¯ll be the next Jayce.¡±

    Thinking of Jayce¡¯s tragic death in the end, everyone shivered in their hearts and fell silent, no longer discussing Xia Wanyuan.

    By the airport, this time, Yu Qian still did not blindfold Xia Wanyuan, but she did not sense the direction of this journey.

    She only knew that the journey this time was especially long. It was about ten days before they finally stopped.

    This was a huge ind. It was so big that it could not even be called an ind, but a continent.

    This ce waspletely different from the dullness and darkness of the base. The sky was clear and thend was vast. The endless grasnd undted under the wind. The snow mountains in the distance were faintly discernible in the clouds. Not far away, there were deer running on the grasnd.

    ¡°Where is this?¡± After Xia Wanyuan came to the modern world, she had seriously understood the geography of this world, but in her impression, such arge ce really did not exist.

    Yu Qian did not answer Xia Wanyuan. He walked forward with Xia Wanyuan for about ten minutes before stopping in front of a huge ancient castle that was like a pce.

    The servants in the same uniform were already waiting in front of the ancient castle. Seeing Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan arrive, everyone bowed to them very respectfully. ¡°Master, Madam.¡±

    Hearing everyone¡¯s address, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°I¡¯m not¡­¡±

    ¡°Is it important?¡± Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Yu Qian interrupted her. Yu Qian¡¯s cold gazended on her. ¡°If you¡¯re by my side, do you think anyone will care about this form of address?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian. ¡°I care about it myself. I¡¯m Madam Jun.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s words made Yu Qian feel a little ufortable, but he did not notice it himself. Yu Qian turned around and his expression darkened. ¡°What a pity, Madam Jun. You can only be at my mercy now.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian ignored Xia Wanyuan¡¯s struggle and pulled her into the ancient castle.

    Xia Wanyuan had also been to Ennd¡¯s pce before. As the residence of the royal family, be it the halls or decorations, they were all the culmination of various pces. She had thought that the pce and ancient castle there were already quite luxurious, butpared to this ce, Xia Wanyuan felt that it really paled inparison.

    Not only was the house grand, but the decorations were also extremely luxurious. The servants walked past in rows and helped Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian pack their things.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s room was next to Yu Qian¡¯s bedroom. Xia Wanyuan minded this arrangement.

    ¡°I have the child with me. She¡¯ll disturb you.¡±

    Yu Qian looked up at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I don¡¯t mind helping you. Choose for yourself.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak further and carried Little Xiaxia upstairs.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan go upstairs, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly. His assistant walked over. ¡°Boss, everything has been arranged.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s indifferent expression, the assistant sighed in his heart. This time,pletely erasing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s whereabouts had almost exhausted their core strength. They really did not know what Yu Qian¡¯s motive was.

    The ident in China was quickly resolved. After Jun Shiling finished his work in China, he brought Lin Jing to Continent F.

    However, what was in front of them was apletely empty base. There was not a single person. Even the spies Jun Shiling and the rest had left behind had been destroyed, leaving no traces.

 Chapter 1469 Three Years Later

    The base was already empty. Lin Jing brought people to search inside. Jun Shiling stood at the entrance of the base and quietly looked at the furnishings.

    After a while, Lin Jing came out with his men. "CEO Jun, it''s been confirmed that no one exists inside. Everything has been destroyed. Yu Qian and the rest are missing."

    "Where are our people?"

    Jun Shiling frowned. The base had always been tightly controlled.

    "CEO Jun." Speaking of this, Lin Jing''s eyes were a little surprised. "Yu Qian brought Madam away indiscriminately. His core forces were all killed in this operation."

    Jun Shiling''s expression was very ugly. "Even if they left, there will be some clues. Go and find them immediately."

    "Yes."

    Lin Jing left with his men, while Jun Shiling entered the base himself.

    He walked around the base and finally stopped in an elegant courtyard.

    The entire base was gray, except for this ce. Not only were there pavilions, but there were also fish in the garden. It was extremely beautiful.

    There was a swing wrapped in flowers in the garden. Beside it was a zither and a chessboard. On a stone table not far away, there were a few tea leaves floating at the edge of the teacup.

    Everything showed that the owner of the courtyard had not left for long.

    Jun Shiling walked into the bedroom. The faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan lingered in the room. Almost instantly, Jun Shiling''s eyes turned red.

    Jun Shiling observed the room carefully and happened to see the wrinkled edge by the bed. He lifted the nket and saw a chip that was a few millimeters long lying peacefully on the bed.

    Jun Shiling picked up the chip and held it in his hand before walking out of the room.

    Outside the room, his subordinates were methodically searching for any possible traces.

    However, even when the sun set, there were no signs of Yu Qian leaving.

    Lin Jing was still assigning missions to his subordinates when there was news from China.<novelnext></novelnext>

    The Lin family officially moved from Linxi to Beijing, and the Lin family''s business core was also ced in Beijing. The Jiang family and the Lin family joined forces and posed a huge threat to the Jun Corporation.

    "CEO Jun, what should we do now?" Lin Jing looked at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling nced at the chip in his hand. "Back to Beijing."

    "Yes."

    Lin Jing thought that Jun Shiling would return to Continent F to look for her after settling his matters in Beijing. However, to his surprise, Jun Shiling never came to Continent F again.

    Lin Qingyuan and the Jiang family hadpletely formed an alliance and fought Jun Shiling in all aspects. The entire Beijing was in a state of panic.

    Internationally, Prince Charlie gradually controlled the royal family of Ennd. An Luo, who had recently taken over, gradually stood out and began to build his trusted forces in Continent O.

    Chu Yi did not find Xia Wei, and the search for the sacred artifact was gradually put on hold. The entire Chu family hid in Continent F again.

    Under a strange bnce, the entire world entered a tug-of-war again.

    As time passed, the most discussed topic on Weibo was "Where did Xia Wanyuan go?"

    Some fans tried to call the police, but they were told by the police that Xia Wanyuan''s rtives did not agree with the disappearance.

    ? Wasn''t Xia Wanyuan''s rtive Jun Shiling?? The fans watched as Jun Shiling entered and left all sorts of official venues every day, but there was no trace of Xia Wanyuan beside him. All sorts of criticisms arose.

    Winter passed and spring came. Time changed.

    In the blink of an eye, it was already spring three yearster.

    On the wide grasnd, a beautiful little girl who was like a doll was sitting on the horse. Her eyes were curved and there were shallow dimples on her face.

    "Uncle Yu, when is Mommying back?"

 Chapter 1470 Growing Up

    Yu Qian held the white foal and nced at the coastline not far away. "Soon."

    This ce was far from the mortal world. Even the sea was not like the mortal sea. There were white clouds like milk in the jade-like sky.

    The sea surged calmly. The sunlight shone on the sea, sweeping across Little Xiaxia and Yu Qian, coating everything with a golden light.

    Little Xiaxia''s long and curled eyshes gently curved up as she smiled happily at Yu Qian. The dimples on her face were faintly visible, as if they were filled with the most beautiful sweet dew in the mountains. "Will Mummy bring me delicious food when shees back this time?"

    Yu Qian turned to look at Little Xiaxia. As Little Xiaxia grew up, she was more and more like Xia Wanyuan. She had almost gathered all the good points of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. Her beautiful big eyes were even more lively than theke water of the crescent spring. When she spoke to people, she had small dimples on her face and was extremely cute.

    Yu Qian reached out and touched Little Xiaxia''s head twice. Little Xiaxia''s hair was extremely soft, and it was as fluffy as a cloud when he touched it. Yu Qian could not help but ruffle it twice. "Doesn''t she bring you delicious food every time?"

    Little Xiaxia''s eyes were filled with smiles. "Mommy is the best!!! Uncle Yu, I want to look at the sea over there."

    Yu Qian nodded. He helped Little Xia Xia sit on the horse and brought her to a ce with seawater. At Little Xia Xia''s age, she was very curious about everything. She had many strange questions. Yu Qian did not mind her talking too much and patiently answered her all sorts of strange thoughts.

    "Uncle Yu, have you tasted clouds?? I really want to try what that tastes like??"

    Yu Qian sent a message to his subordinate. "Get someone to get the shape of the cloud from the sky."

    "Uncle Yu, if only I could have such a beautiful sea in the castle. I want to live in the castle under the sea. It would definitely be very cool."

    Yu Qian nodded and turned to send his subordinate another message. "Make Missy''s bedroom look like a castle under the sea. Surround it with seawater."

    The subordinates were already immune to this behavior. Anyway, they were already used to him spoiling her more than this.

    The white waves swept towards the shoreyer byyer with a golden sh of sunlight. Little Xiaxia reached out to Yu Qian. "Uncle, carry me."

    Yu Qian carried Little Xiaxia to the beach. Little Xiaxia shook off her shoes and stepped on the soft sand barefoot.

    Yu Qian did not stop her. He knew that Little Xiaxia liked to y with sand and had long gotten someone to filter the sand on this beach. Now, there were no sharp fragments on the entire beach that could hurt Little Xiaxia.

    Little Xiaxia ran around the beach happily. Seeing that Yu Qian was standing still, she ran to him. "Uncle Yu, are you unhappy?"

    Yu Qian shook his head. "No."

    Although Little Xiaxia was young, she was mischievous and could see through people the best. She pulled Yu Qian''s sleeve. "Uncle Yu, don''t be unhappy. I''ll share the candy with you."

    With that, Little Xiaxia took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Yu Qian.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s innocent and ignorant expression, Yu Qian squatted down and gently stroked her hair. "What will you do if I can''t apany you one day?"

    Before Yu Qian could finish speaking, Little Xiaxia''s eyes were filled with tears. She sobbed. "I don''t want."

    "What don''t you want?" Yu Qian reached out to brush the tears off Little Xiaxia''s face.

    Little Xiaxia rushed into Yu Qian''s arms. "I don''t want Uncle Yu to leave."

    Ever since Xiaxia began to have her own consciousness, she could only see two people. One was Xia Wanyuan, and the other was Yu Qian.

    In the past three years, Xia Wanyuan had often gone out. Compared to her, Yu Qian had almost always apanied Little Xiaxia.

    Whether it was the first time Little Xiaxia spoke, the first time she walked alone, or the first time she used chopsticks... All the moments were witnessed by Yu Qian.

    Everyone on the ind knew that Little Xiaxia was undoubtedly the princess here.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Hence, when Yu Qian mentioned leaving, Little Xiaxia panicked.

    Looking at the panic in Little Xiaxia''s eyes, Yu Qian''s heart ached.

    Back then, he had brought this child over to kill time.

    However, who knew that raising her would really raise this child into a piece of flesh in his heart?

    Yu Qian smiled at Little Xiaxia. "I was just joking with you. What do you want to eat tonight?"

    Little Xiaxia wiped her tears and looked at Yu Qian hesitantly. "Really?"

    "Mm."

    Then I want to eat fried chicken drumsticks." Little Xiaxia looked at Yu Qian happily with her big watery eyes. "How about fried chicken drumsticks??"

    "Sure."

    "No."

    Yu Qian had just said a word when Xia Wanyuan interrupted him.

    Little Xiaxia looked behind her in surprise. Xia Wanyuan was dressed in ck and striding over.

    "Mommy!!" Little Xiaxia ran happily towards Xia Wanyuan, her small feet kicking up sand. Xia Wanyuan did not despise her and reached out to pick Little Xiaxia up.

    "Mommy, I miss you so much." Although Yu Qian was very cold to others, he really cared about Little Xiaxia. Little Xiaxia had grown up in an environment filled with concern and love. She was bright and cheerful from the inside out. When she smiled at Xia Wanyuan, it was as if the sunlight of the entire world had poured on her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned her head and kissed Little Xiaxia. "Were you obedient?"

    "I''m very obedient!!!" Little Xiaxia vowed. "Mommy, I''m hungry. Let''s go eat. I want to eat carrots, vegetables, fish and prawns."

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Little Xiaxia. "Really? You don''t want to eat fried chicken drumsticks anymore??"

    Little Xiaxia smiled at Xia Wanyuan with two dimples. "Mommy, I''m not eating. I''m the most obedient."

    Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Little Xiaxia''s face. "Let''s go."

    "Mm." Little Xiaxia held Xia Wanyuan''s hand and walked forward. She subconsciously pulled Yu Qian''s hand and stopped just as she moved.

    She had heard from Xia Wanyuan that she still had a biological father. The seat beside Xia Wanyuan was to be reserved for that father she had never met.

    Little Xiaxia retracted her hand in disappointment and smiled at Yu Qian as if she wasforting him. "Uncle Yu, let''s eat together."

    Yu Qian was extremely sharp. He naturally sensed Little Xia Xia''s small actions. He subconsciously nced at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan walked straight forward, as if she did not notice anything.

    Yu Qian smiled at Little Xiaxia and followed the two of them.

    Little Xiaxia looked at Xia Wanyuan, then at Yu Qian. She tightened her grip on Xia Wanyuan''s hand.

    Actually, she had always wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan why Yu Qian, who treated her so well, was not her biological father.

 Chapter 1471 Father

    In the dining room, Little Xiaxia sat beside Xia Wanyuan and ate very consciously. She did not need anyone to feed her at all. She waspletely different from when Xia Wanyuan was not around.

    Xia Wanyuan often went out. When she was not around, Little Xiaxia began to be picky. Furthermore, only when Yu Qian fed her would she sit there obediently. Other times, no one here could coax her.

    The three of them finished their meal in silence. Xia Wanyuan nced at Little Xiaxia''s dirtied clothes. "Let''s go. I''ll bring you to take a shower."

    "Mm." Little Xiaxia nodded obediently, then looked at Yu Qian. "Goodnight, Uncle Yu. See you tomorrow."

    Yu Qian nodded and watched Little Xiaxia''s bouncing figure gradually disappear from his sight.

    Less than ten minutes after Xia Wanyuan left, a subordinate came to report the situation to Yu Qian.

    "Boss."

    "Tell me."

    "The D World is constantly expanding their forces. They''ve already reached our side. Yesterday, we even caught people from the other side at sea."

    Yu Qian did not seem surprised at all. His eyes were calm, and it was unknown what he was thinking. His subordinate did not dare to speak much and could only stand quietly, waiting for Yu Qian''s instructions.

    After a while, Yu Qian finally said, "It''s only a matter of time. Drag it out."

    "Yes."

    After the subordinate left, Yu Qian sat at the cold dining table and looked at the moon for a long time.

    The moonlight shone faintly on the ground with ayer of hazy light.

    In the dark night, it was as if someone had sighed softly. That sigh was as soft as moonlight and instantly fused into the night.

    At this moment, on the second floor of the castle, Little Xiaxia had already been washed and ced on the bed. Xia Wanyuan sat beside her and wiped her hair.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Mommy," Little Xiaxia called out to Xia Wanyuan in a childish voice.

    "Mm."

    "I have a question for you." Little Xiaxia turned her head and stared at Xia Wanyuan with her big eyes.

    "Tell me."

    "Why isn''t Uncle Yu my father?"

    Hearing Little Xiaxia''s words, Xia Wanyuan paused and looked at Little Xiaxia very seriously. "He''s not. Have you forgotten the name of your father I told you about?"

    "Jun Shiling," Little Xiaxia blurted out. "Mommy, I remember, but why did Daddy never appear? He didn''t treat you well at all and made Mommy sad."

    When Xia Wanyuan was in the castle, Little Xiaxia basically slept with her. Sometimes, when she woke up in the middle of the night, Little Xiaxia would see Xia Wanyuan standing alone by the window.

    Little Xiaxia still did not know what longing was, but she could tell that Xia Wanyuan was unhappy and very sad.

    Xia Wanyuan pulled Little Xiaxia into her arms. "No, Daddy loves you very much and Mommy very much. It''s just that for some reasons, we have no choice but to be separated. Don''t say this in the future, okay?"

    Little Xiaxiay in Xia Wanyuan''s arms and nodded obediently. She looked at Xia Wanyuan curiously. "Mommy, what does Daddy look like? Is he especially handsome??"

    A smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "Mm."

    Coincidentally, there was a pen and paper on the desk not far away. Xia Wanyuan took the pen and drew a simple portrait on the paper.

    Little Xiaxia looked at it seriously. Although the person on the paper seemed to be t, in a daze, she seemed to really feel her father looking at her quietly.

 Chapter 1472 Leaving

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s deep eyes on the paper, Little Xiaxia reached out curiously to poke them. "Mommy, if we return to Daddy''s side, will we be separated from Uncle Yu?"

    Xia Wanyuan did not want Little Xiaxia''s heart to be filled with hatred since she was young. Little Xiaxia did not know much about the grudges between adults, so in her opinion, Yu Qian was someone she had relied on since she was young.

    Thinking of the animations and television dramas she had watched, there was only one pair of parents in the family. Little Xiaxia was a little sad. She did not know if it was for herself or for Yu Qian.

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to tell Little Xiaxia. She reached out and stroked Little Xiaxia''s head. "I¡­"

    Xia Wanyuan had just said a word when she was interrupted by Little Xiaxia. Little Xiaxia hugged Xia Wanyuan''s arm and blinked gently.

    "Mommy, you love Daddy very much, right?"

    Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    Little Xiaxia smiled at Xia Wanyuan with two dimples. "Mommy, I''m happy as long as you''re happy. If you''re happy when I return to Daddy''s side, I''ll definitely stay by your side obediently."

    Little Xiaxia, who had grown up in love, enjoyed Xia Wanyuan''s love for her and loved her unreservedly.

    Although she was young, she already vaguely understood that Xia Wanyuan had separated from the person she loved because of her. Little Xiaxia could not bear to part with Yu Qian, but at the same time, she hoped that Xia Wanyuan would be happy.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s sensible appearance, Xia Wanyuan''s heart ached slightly. She smiled and patted Little Xiaxia''s back. "Good child, sleep."

    "Mm." Little Xiaxia buried herself in Xia Wanyuan''s arms and smiled at her. "Goodnight, Mommy."

    "Good night."

    At this moment, in the China manor, the lights in the study were on for a long time. At the door of the study, two small heads were gathered together.

    "Brother." A beautiful little boy with red lips and white teeth leaned against Xiao Bao.

    Xiao Bao was already more and more simr to Jun Shiling. Although he was young, his aura had already begun to appear. He, who used to love to smile, had alreadypletely condensed a smile and was very serious.

    However, when facing his younger brother, Xiao Bao''s eyes still had a hint of warmth. "Shut up."

    "Brother¡­"

    Little Jiajin''s name implied that he was a gentle gentleman. However, he had been pampered since he was young and was extremely lively. He was mischievous and loved to act coquettishly. Other than Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao, who could barely control him, no one else could do anything to him.

    Xiao Bao turned to look at Little Jiajin. "Shut up."

    "Brother, Brother, Brother." Little Jiajin circled Xiao Bao''s arm. "When can I see Mommy?"

    Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, sadness shed across Xiao Bao''s eyes. "I don''t know."

    "Brother." Little Jiajin looked at Xiao Bao curiously. "Is Mommy really as beautiful as on television?"

    "Of course. Mommy is the most beautiful person in the world."

    Little Jiajin''s eyes were filled with yearning. " Can Mommy sing?"

    "Yes, sometimes at night, she will coax me to sleep. Mommy sings especially well."

    "Wow." Little Jiajin was envious. "She''s definitely better than Daddy. Daddy is so fierce. He doesn''t let me eat candy and even confiscates my toys. Hmph." As Little Jiajin secretlyined, he felt that something was wrong.

    He turned around and saw that the study door had opened at some point in time. Jun Shiling was looking at them quietly.

    Meeting Jun Shiling''s cold eyes, Little Jiajin subconsciously pulled Xiao Bao''s arm. He smiled sweetly at Jun Shiling. "Daddy, dear Daddy, I miss you so much. When are we going to sleep? I''m sleepy."

    Jun Shiling snorted softly and picked Little Jiajin up from the ground. "What are you hiding in your pocket?"

    Little Jiajin took out the candy. "Daddy, I specially saved it for you. I didn''t eat a single one. I love you the most."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling took the candy and shook his head gently as he walked to the bedroom.

    Who did this child take after? He was so mischievous.

    The moonlight gradually enveloped the entire world. Xia Wanyuan, who had been running around outside for a long time, had long fallen asleep, but Little Xiaxia, who was leaning in her arms, opened her eyes.

    Little Xiaxia looked at Xia Wanyuan''s sleeping eyes and gently got up. She kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek before walking to the bedroom beside her.

    Yu Qian rarely slept. Now, the light in his bedroom was still on. He sat at his desk and read. The light cast a shadow on his eyes.

    The door was suddenly pushed open by a crack. Yu Qian was instantly vignt and prepared the door with the gun in his hand. In the next second, seeing that it was Little Xiaxia, Yu Qian retracted the gun in his hand.

    "Uncle Yu." Little Xiaxia skipped towards Yu Qian with a smile on her face. Yu Qian reached out and carried her onto hisp.

    "Why aren''t you sleeping?? Where''s your mother?"

    "Mommy is asleep." Little Xiaxia kept looking at Yu Qian with her big eyes. "Uncle Yu, I''ll apany you. Don''t be unhappy."

    Yu Qian was stunned for a moment. "I''m not unhappy."

    Little Xiaxia hugged Yu Qian''s arm. "You clearly are, Uncle Yu. I don''t want to leave you."

    Yu Qian''s eyes were filled with warmth. He stroked Little Xiaxia''s hair. "I won''t let you leave me either."

    Little Xiaxia nodded with curved eyes.

    She listened to Yu Qian tell her stories in his arms. As she listened, she felt sleepy and could not help but fall asleep.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s peaceful sleeping face in his arms, a hint of darkness shed across Yu Qian''s eyes.

    No matter how calm these stolen days were, in the end, we still had to return to our original tracks.

    I want to stay, but I might not be able to.

    The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up and realized that her arms were empty. Xia Wanyuan did not panic. After washing up, she was about to go downstairs to eat when she saw Yu Qian making milk for Little Xiaxia.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuane down, Yu Qian handed the milk in his hand to Little Xiaxia. "Good girl, go to the side and look for Uncle Butler. I have something to tell your mother."

    "Mm."

    Little Xiaxia carried the milk bottle and obediently walked to the side.

    Xia Wanyuan sat at the dining table. Yu Qian naturally pushed the te in front of her. Xia Wanyuan had just picked up her chopsticks when Yu Qian spoke.

    "Let''s go back to Continent F together tomorrow."

    Xia Wanyuan''s hand that was holding her chopsticks paused slightly. She looked at Yu Qian in surprise. "You want to bring me back?"

    "Mm." Yu Qian nodded.

    Xia Wanyuan''s gaze lingered on Yu Qian for a long time. She did not know what Yu Qian was thinking.

    After living on this ind for a long time, Xia Wanyuan realized that on the entire, unlike the world that people conventionally understood, nearly a third of the waspletely hidden.

    The world they were in had a very hidden entrance to the conventional world. If they did not take the initiative to leave, it would be very difficult for the outside world to discover this ce.

    .........

 Chapter 1473 Escape

    In the past few years, Xia Wanyuan had already be Yu Qian''s right-hand man.

    Yu Qian''s matters were basically spread out in front of Xia Wanyuan transparently.

    Little Xia Xia gradually grew up and became more and more clingy to Yu Qian. Compared to Xia Wanyuan, Yu Qian spent more time with Little Xia Xia. He was basically the one taking care of Little Xia Xia, so the business under him was basically handed over to Xia Wanyuan.

    She helped Yu Qian deal with many things in this world. Simrly, she had been searching for a way to leave.

    However, she had never found a way to leave. Today, Yu Qian took the initiative to return to World D. Xia Wanyuan was worried that Yu Qian was going to y tricks.

    Whether it was three years ago or now, Xia Wanyuan had never let down her guard against Yu Qian.

    Although Yu Qian did not show any cruelty in front of Little Xiaxia and could even be considered very gentle,

    There was one thing that Xia Wanyuan was quite grateful to Yu Qian for.

    He was really treating Little Xiaxia well. She was not by Little Xiaxia''s side all year round, and Little Xiaxia had never seen Jun Shiling before. In the absence of parents, Little Xiaxia could be so lively and sunny todayrgely because Yu Qian treated Little Xiaxia really well.

    However, Xia Wanyuan knew very well that Yu Qian treated Little Xiaxia well because Little Xiaxia had been brought by Yu Qian''s side since she was very young. She was really a piece of white paper. Yu Qian was not guarded against her, but if it were anyone else, Yu Qian would not be like this.

    As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was worried about, Yu Qian sneered. "Don''t think too much. Wait for me here tomorrow. Little Xiaxia isn''t going. She''ll stay here. Come with me."

    With that, Yu Qian restrained the emotions in his eyes and walked to the side to apany Little Xiaxia for breakfast, leaving Xia Wanyuan thinking on the spot.

    Xia Wanyuan was no longer in the mood to eat. She looked out of the window. The environment here had always been very good. The weather today was not bad. There was a blue sky and white clouds.

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a sh of inspiration, as if she had thought of something.

    Any territory had a check and bnce of power. In this ce, other than the continent under Yu Qian''s jurisdiction, there were a few other forces arguing with Yu Qian.

    Originally, this bnce had been maintained very well. However, in order to quickly expand their forces, some people sought help from the D world outside.

    In this way, the bnce was broken. Yu Qian was forced to reestablish his connection with the outside world.

    ncing at Little Xiaxia, who was smiling until her teeth were out of sight, a deep meaning shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes.

    Perhaps arge part of the reason why Yu Qian left the world this time was because he wanted to provide Little Xiaxia with a better environment.

    Her eyes narrowed, and she did not know how to judge Yu Qian.

    The next morning, while Little Xiaxia was still sleeping, Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan had already boarded arge ship and embarked on the journey back to Continent F.

    On the deck, the sea breeze blew Xia Wanyuan''s hair. The fog slightly froze on Xia Wanyuan''s curly eyshes. Yu Qian nced at her. "Xia Wanyuan."

    Xia Wanyuan turned around. "What?"

    "Are you very happy to go back again?"

    "What are you trying to say?"

    Yu Qian looked at the distant sea. "Nothing."

    Looking at Yu Qian''s cold side profile, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. "Is something going to happen???"

    The fact that Yu Qian had taken the initiative to bring her out was very strange.

    ording to how much Yu Qian doted on Little Xiaxia now, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not leave Little Xiaxia alone in the castle.

    Yu Qian did not answer Xia Wanyuan. He looked ahead quietly. The morning glow rose and dyed his face a little color.

    In the castle, as time passed, the sunlight passed through the French windows and quietly sent warmth in. The birds outside the window began to be active and kept chirping, finally waking up Little Xiaxia, who was sleeping on the bed.

    Little Xiaxia opened her eyes and habitually looked for Xia Wanyuan, but she could not find her. Little Xiaxia sat up and ran to the bedroom beside her. Yu Qian''s room was also empty.

    Little Xiaxia ran downstairs. Only the servants were packing in the living room.

    "Where''s Mommy and Uncle Yu??"

    Hearing Little Xiaxia''s voice, the butler hurriedly weed her. "Miss, Young Master and your mother have already left. They have work to do."

    Little Xiaxia widened her eyes slightly. "But they didn''t tell me that. Uncle Yu promised me yesterday to bring me out to y today."

    To put it bluntly, Little Xiaxia had always known that as long as Yu Qian agreed to her request, Yu Qian would bring Little Xiaxia along no matter how difficult it was. This was the first time Yu Qian had gone back on his word.

    Little Xiaxia had always been pampered by Yu Qian. Now that Yu Qian had left but did not bring her, Little Xiaxia was very aggrieved. Tears began to well up in her bright eyes, making one''s heart ache.

    "Eldest Miss, don''t be sad. They''ll be back soon after settling their matters. Be good and stay at home." Little Xiaxia had always smiled happily. When had they ever seen her so pitiful? Even the servants felt sour in their hearts. The butler tried tofort Little Xiaxia, but he failed. Little Xiaxia''s eyes were already filled with golden beans.

    "Uncle Yu lied. He clearly said that he wanted to apany me today. Mommy lied too. She just came back yesterday. Why did she leave today? Boohoo."

    Ever since Xia Xia began to be conscious of the world around her, Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian had never left her at the same time.

    Little Xiaxia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran upstairs.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s back, the butler sighed and shook his head. As sharp as he was, he naturally realized that Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan had left chaotically this time. The world was probably going to change again.

    "I''m afraid something will happen." The butler was helpless. He looked at the servants at the side. "Young Master is not around. You must take good care of Missy. Breakfast must be sumptuous. Go up and coax Missy."

    "Yes."

    When everyone finished preparing breakfast and sent it up, Little Xiaxia did not appreciate it at all. She closed the door and sulked alone in the bedroom.

    In this castle, other than Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian, no one else dared to do anything to Little Xiaxia. Since Little Xiaxia was unwilling to eat, everyone could only guard the door.

    Time passed bit by bit. It was almost afternoon, but there was still no movement in the bedroom. The butler was afraid that Little Xiaxia would starve to death, so he instructed the servants to force open the door.

    However, looking at everything in the house, the butler and all the servants were dumbfounded.

    Because the house was empty.

 Chapter 1474 - 1474 Siblings Meet

    1474 Siblings Meet

    When Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian received the news of Little Xiaxia¡¯s disappearance, the two of them had already arrived in Continent F.

    ¡°Have you found her?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Go to the valley she liked to go to before.¡±

    ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve searched everywhere on the ind, but we don¡¯t see Missy. Furthermore, a small ship has been lost in the warehouse.¡±

    There were many high-tech things in the warehouse of the castle. The servants were not qualified to approach these things, but Little Xiaxia often yed inside. When Yu Qian developed certain weapons, Little Xiaxia would usually sit by the side and watch him do it.

    !!

    Everyone felt that Little Xiaxia was still young and it did not matter even if she knew the password to the warehouse. However, no one expected Little Xiaxia to be so bold as to leave the ind with the things.

    Yu Qian had clearly thought of Little Xiaxia¡¯s whereabouts. He narrowed his eyes. ¡°Other than small ships, what else did she take away?¡±

    ¡°Some nutrients, locators, and some medicine. She also took away the smart chipputer you ced in the safe, Terminator,¡± the butler said as he wiped his cold sweat.

    They had all seen Yu Qian¡¯s attitude towards Little Xiaxia. From the looks of it, Little Xiaxia should have gone after Yu Qian and the rest. The journey was so long. If anything happened to her¡­

    The butler did not dare to continue thinking. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and wanted to cry.

    Listening to the butler¡¯s report, Yu Qian¡¯s aura darkened. ¡°Get someone to search in the direction she left.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After Yu Qian hung up, Xia Wanyuan looked at him anxiously. ¡°How¡¯s my daughter?¡±

    Yu Qian tightened his grip on the railing. ¡°She has the Terminator with her. There shouldn¡¯t be any major problems. If she really encounters danger, the Terminator will trigger the rm system. I can sense it. The sensor is very calm now, which means that she¡¯s safe.¡±

    Although Yu Qian had said so, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes were still filled with worry. ¡°She¡¯s so young.¡±

    Yu Qian was not as worried as Xia Wanyuan. ¡°She¡¯s just young. Don¡¯t worry too much. I¡¯ve taught her countless ways to escape. Furthermore, she took away the most advanced products. There won¡¯t be any problems easily.¡±

    At this moment, in the sea, Little Xiaxia was sitting in the cockpit. She took out the map and looked at it. She reached out and pressed a button. The entire ship began to shrink, and its wings extended, gradually turning into a streamlined ne.

    The ne slid from the water to the sky and gradually entered the clouds, flying towards World D.

    This new amphibious ne had an automatic protection device, so Yu Qian could only sense that it was driving, but he did not know where it was flying.

    About three dayster, Yu Qian sensed that the aircraft had stopped moving. There was no rm, indicating that everything was normal.

    On Wuyi Mountain, Little Jiajin leaned towards Jun Shiling with a mud-covered face. ¡°Daddy, wash me up.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at him and focused on the document again. ¡°Don¡¯t force me to beat you up here.¡±

    Little Jiajin quickly took a step back and began to cry. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re too much. Other people¡¯s sons are doted on. You don¡¯t love me anymore. You¡¯re biased. You love Brother.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked up and nced at Little Jiajin. Little Jiajin immediately shut up and jumped three feet away. There was no hint of tears on his face. ¡°Daddy, I was wrong. Take your time. I¡¯m going to pick tea. I¡¯ll wash my face myself!!¡±

    With that, Little Jiajin ran towards the tea mountain.

    At this moment, it had just rained on Wuyi Mountain and the air was filled with a faint mist. Little Jiajin swept the water with his hand as he shuttled through the tea trees.

    Unknowingly, Little Jiajin ran deep into the tea tree. He was about to pick some tender tea to coax Jun Shiling when he saw the tea tree move not far away.

    Little Jiajin slowly leaned over and saw a corner of a white mesh dress on the tea root.

    Just as Little Jiajin was about to continue walking forward to take a look, the tea tree was suddenly pried open and a pair of lively eyes appeared in front of Little Jiajin.

 Chapter 1475 - 1475 Brother

    1475 Brother

    Little Jiajin took a step back in fear, then stopped and looked at Little Xiaxia tentatively.

    Little Xiaxia¡¯s facial features were too beautiful, and the intelligence in her eyes made one¡¯s eyes light up. The ultimate beauty lover, Little Jiajin, looked at her for a while and asked, ¡°Are you a little elf?¡±

    Little Xiaxia smiled until her dimples appeared. ¡°Are you stupid??¡±

    Little Jiajin widened his eyes slightly. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡±

    !!

    Little Xiaxia opened her clear eyes. She tugged at her dress that was caught in the branches but did not move. She turned to look at Little Jiajin, who was standing at the side. ¡°Brother, can you help me adjust my dress? My dress is caught in the branches.¡±

    For some reason, Little Jiajin¡¯s heart fluctuated when he heard Little Xiaxia call him brother.

    He had heard from the people around him that he originally had a cute and beautiful younger sister, but she disappeared with his mother.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia, who was as beautiful as a doll, Little Jiajin thought of the sister he had never seen before.

    He walked forward and helped Little Xiaxia with her dress.

    Little Xiaxia had fallen into the tea tree when she fell from the aircraft. Now, her dress was wrapped in the branches. Little Jiajin spent a lot of effort to get Little Xiaxia¡¯s dress out, but his hand was also injured by the branches.

    Little Xiaxia jumped out of the branch happily and smiled sweetly at Little Jiajin. ¡°Brother, thank you.¡±

    Little Xiaxia¡¯s smile was too healing. Little Jiajin scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    Little Xiaxia was about to say something when she saw the wound on Little Jiajin¡¯s hand. Her eyes widened. ¡°Brother, your hand is injured.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Little Jiajin looked indifferent. ¡°It¡¯s just a small injury. I¡¯m a man. I¡¯m not afraid of this at all.¡±

    Little Xiaxia found a herb from the grass pile beside her, chewed it, and applied it to Little Jiajin¡¯s hand.

    Little Jiajin was a little embarrassed. He coughed. ¡°Where¡¯s your house? I¡¯ll bring you out.¡±

    ¡°My house is very far from here.¡± Speaking of this, Little Xiaxia looked a little sad.

    Initially, she had followed the direction Yu Qian, Xia Wanyuan and the rest left in. However, she did not expect that because she had flown too far, she would be wrapped in a powerful airflow above the sea. When she fell, the aircraft had scattered, and themunicator that contacted Yu Qian and the rest had disappeared.

    Seeing that Little Xiaxia was about to cry, Little Jiajin was also sad. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll bring you out and send you to the police station first. The police will help you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The two children held hands and walked down the mountain. Little Xiaxia was innocent and lively, and Little Jiajin was mischievous. The entire tea mountain was filled with theirughter.

    After sending Little Xiaxia to the police station, Little Jiajin returned to the hotel.

    Jun Shiling was still in the same position as before he left. He was sitting at the desk and reading documents. He looked up and nced at Little Jiajin, and his expression darkened.

    After being on the mountain for so long, Little Jiajin¡¯s body was filled with stains and the mud on his face had formed mud. He smiled with curved eyes and white teeth. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    ¡°Bring him to wash up. You¡¯re not allowed to give him food tonight.¡± Jun Shiling looked at his assistant.

    ¡°Daddy!!¡± Little Jiajin tried to protest, but Jun Shiling suppressed him with a look.

    ¡°Bad person!!¡± Little Jiajin kept kicking his legs in the bathtub. ¡°I did a good deed today and you still won¡¯t let me eat dinner!!¡±

    Jun Shiling stood at the door and looked at him. ¡°Other than being mischievous, taking your brother¡¯s homework, pulling the butler¡¯s beard, and driving 20 teachers away in anger, what else can you do?¡±

    Little Jiajin looked at Jun Shiling angrily. ¡°I saved an especially beautiful little sister on the mountain today!!!¡±

 Chapter 1476 Loneliness

    Jun Shiling did not think that Little Jiajin was lying. Although Little Jiajin was mischievous to the point of giving one a headache, there was one good thing about him, and that was that he was quite honest. If he said yes, he did it. If he said no, he did not.

    The servant had already helped Xiao Jiajin take a shower. Jun Shiling walked over and picked him up from the bathtub. He took a towel and wrapped it around him. "That''s two different things. I''ll reward you with a toy tomorrow for helping others, but you ran around today and made so many people look for you for a long time."

    "I''m sorry." Little Jiajin, who had just taken a shower, smelled like milk. He hugged Jun Shiling''s neck. "Daddy, I''m hungry."

    "You can''t eat."

    "Daddy ~ Daddy ~" Little Jiajin stared at Jun Shiling with his round eyes.

    In the end, Jun Shiling gave in. He ced Little Jiajin on the sofa and went to the side to cook for him.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling came out with a bowl of steaming shredded meat noodles.

    Little Jiajin opened his mouth consciously. "Ah ~"

    Although Jun Shiling''s eyes were filled with disdain, he still took the chopsticks and fed Little Jiajin a mouthful.

    The noodles that were filled with soup spread in his mouth. Little Jiajin smiled happily. "Daddy, your culinary skills have improved again. I like your cooking the most in the world!!"

    Helplessness shed across Jun Shiling''s eyes.

    Little Jiajin had been mischievous since he was young, but although he was mischievous, he was extremely likable. It was mainly because he was sweet enough to coax the most serious professor into smiling.

    "Eat quickly and sleep after eating."

    "Mm!!" Little Jiajin ate the noodles and took a sip of hot milk. Suddenly, he thought of the cute Xiaxia. "Daddy, I sent that little girl to the police station. I wonder if she''s back home now."

    "I''ll get someone to investigate tomorrow. Rest well first."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Okay." Little Jiajin ate the noodles in his bowl in big mouthfuls. After finishing the big bowl, he obediently sat on the bed and prepared to sleep after digesting.

    At this moment, on the street not far from the hotel, Little Xiaxia was sitting by the roadside, looking curiously at the cars and peopleing and going by the street.

    Little Jiajin had sent her to the police station, but there were too many people there just now and no one noticed Little Xiaxia. In addition, she had seen someone with a gun.

    To Little Xiaxia, who had never been to China, she felt that the people with guns were all bad people. Hence, when no one was paying attention, Little Xiaxia ran out of the police station.

    However, there were no servants here, no Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan. There were only tall buildings and countless pedestrians she did not know.

    Little Xiaxia had always been bold, but at this moment, she was still a little afraid. She wanted to eat and missed Xia Wanyuan.

    The number of pedestrians and cars in front of her gradually decreased. Little Xiaxia hugged her knees, her eyes red.

    If she had known earlier, she would not have run out. Now, not only had she not found Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan, but she had also lost herself.

    The night deepened and the night was a little cold. Little Xiaxia found a tree to lean on and fell asleep in a daze.

    After some time, someone suddenly called out to her.

    "Youngdy, what are you doing here??"

    Seeing that it was a young girl in front of her, Little Xiaxia let down her guard. "I..."

    "You can''t find your parents??" The girl smiled at Little Xiaxia. "Let me help you find them. Look at your expression. Aiyo, how long have you been hungry? Come, eat some bread to cushion your hunger."

 Chapter 1477 Kidnapped

    The nutrient solution and aircraft on Little Xiaxia were scattered in the mountains. She had been running around for the entire day and was indeed very hungry.

    Looking at the soft bread in front of her, Little Xiaxia could not help but swallow her saliva. However, thinking of what Yu Qian had told her, she lowered her head again. "I''m not eating."

    Seeing that Little Xiaxia was not eating, the girl ced a student ID in front of her. "Look, I''m a student nearby. Don''t be afraid. I''m not a bad person. If you don''t believe me,e with me to the school over there and ask."

    Following the direction the girl was pointing, Little Xiaxia saw that there was indeed a school not far away. Arge number of people were gathered at the entrance of the school.

    Little Xiaxia nodded hesitantly. "Okay."

    She stood up and followed the girl over. Halfway through, the girl broke open the bread and fed Little Xiaxia a mouthful. "Are you hungry? Eat some first."

    The bread that was split open emitted a rich wheat fragrance. Little Xiaxia looked hesitantly at the lively scene around her, then took a tentative bite of the bread.

    It smelled so good. Little Xiaxia, who had been hungry for the entire day, could not help but take a bite.

    She wolfed down half of the bread. Only then did she realize that the girl had already led her off the original route.

    "For..." Little Xiaxia had just said a word when she felt dizzy. The girl''s face began to blur. Little Xiaxia blinked and fainted on the ground.

    At that moment, the girl squatted down and pinched Little Xiaxia''s face to look left and right. Her young face ufortably showed that she was experienced in doing this. "She''s so good-looking. I made a killing this time."

    At this moment, her phone rang. The girl pressed the answer button.

    "Where did you go? Get back here. Why is it so difficult for you to get some medicine? My addiction is already acting up." The man on the other end of the line sounded very impatient.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Honey, guess what I picked up on the street today??"

    "I don''t care what you picked up. If you don''t get back here, I''ll beat you to death."

    With that, the man hung up.

    As if she was already used to this way of interacting, the woman did not have any other reaction. She picked up Little Xiaxia, hailed a taxi, and returned to the rented house.

    Seeing the girl return, the man, who was experiencing a rpse, grabbed her hair and was about to hit her. The girl hurriedly handed the little Xiaxia in her hand to the man. "Look at this. It''s top-notch. Spider and the rest will definitely like it."

    The man pulled Little Xiaxia''s face impatiently and was stunned on the spot.

    Although Little Xiaxia was young, her facial features were as exquisite as if they had been carefully carved by a god. One could already imagine how beautiful she would be in the future.

    Seeing that the man was interested in Little Xiaxia, the girl moved the man''s hand away from her neck. "Look at how beautiful this child is. Doesn''t Spider and the rest like this? They''ll give us as much money as we want from such a top-notch person. Won''t we have our medicine then?"

    "At least you''re useful." Looking at Little Xiaxia''s beautiful face, the man sneered. "I''ll let you off today. Tomorrow, we''ll set off to find Spider and the rest. If we can''t sell her for a good price, see how I deal with you."

    "Okay."

    The man casually threw Little Xiaxia into the corner, locked the door, and brought the woman into the bedroom.

    Little Xiaxia woke up in the early morning.

 Chapter 1478 Meeting

    After so many years, no matter when Little Xiaxia woke up from her sleep, her eyes were filled with bright lights and Xia Wanyuan''s warm embrace. She had never been as dark as now.

    Little Xiaxia tried to move, but she realized that the back of her shoulder hurt especially.

    Thinking of the girl she had seen before she fainted, Little Xiaxia guessed that she had met a bad person.

    She tried to stand up, but her hands and feet were tied. Little Xiaxia struggled for a while, but not only could she not break free, but she also knocked down a chair at the side, disturbing the people in the bedroom.

    The bedroom door opened with a swoosh. Li Fei stood at the door and looked at Little Xiaxia fiercely. "If you dare to move again, I''ll throw you down from here."

    Little Xiaxia''s eyes were filled with tears. "Let me go. My Uncle Yu will give you a lot of money."

    To someone like Li Fei, who took illegal drugs all year round, Little Xiaxia''s beauty had no age limit in his eyes. Looking at Little Xiaxia''s pitiful eyes, not only did Li Fei not feel pity, but he also had other thoughts.

    He slowly walked up to Little Xiaxia and reached for her chin. Just as he was about to touch her, Liu Ting came out.

    "What are you doing? Don''t tell me you don''t know that Spider and the rest like natural youngdies? Don''t you want to exchange her for money? Her face can be exchanged for our wealth for the rest of our lives."

    Liu Ting''s words dispelled Li Fei''s thoughts. He red at Little Xiaxia, then turned and entered the bedroom.

    At this moment, in a certain living room in Continent F, Chu Yi looked at Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan, who were sitting not far away, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.

    "I really didn''t expect the legendary Nether Continent''s governor to be you. You hid it quite well." With that, Chu Yi looked at Xia Wanyuan beside Yu Qian. "This person hid it very well too. Who would have thought that the famous Madam Jun was actually the governor''s wife? How disrespectful."

    Xia Wanyuan pretended not to hear Chu Yi''s deliberate mockery. She sat quietly and nced at the woman beside Chu Yi.<novelnext></novelnext>

    This woman was very beautiful and looked very unfamiliar. Xia Wanyuan had never seen her before.

    "Where''s Feng Wuyou?" In the silence, Xia Wanyuan suddenly spoke.

    Chu Yi did not answer, but the woman beside him pursed her lips and smiled. "You''re talking about that Su Yao, right? She disobeyed Young Master and has long been thrown into the desert to die from the sun."

    Hearing this woman''s words, Xia Wanyuan frowned. She nced at Chu Yi''s expression. Chu Yi was even more depressed than three years ago.

    Chu Yi lowered his head, thinking about something. Xia Wanyuan did not want to stay here anymore. She looked at Yu Qian. Before she could speak, Yu Qian put the teacup in his hand aside. "Let''s go."

    After Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan left, the assistant walked to Chu Yi''s side. "Young Master, should I reveal the news of Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan''s appearance to Jun Shiling?"

    The corners of Chu Yi''s lips curled up slightly. "Why should I tell him? I''m looking forward to the alliance meeting in a week. I wonder what kind of scene Jun Shiling will see his wife standing beside the esteemed guest he personally invited?"

    "Okay." The assistant nodded and retreated respectfully.

    "Young Master." Seeing that everyone had left, the woman beside Chu Yi held Chu Yi''s arm and wanted to lean on him. However, Chu Yi nced at her and she was frightened by the coldness in Chu Yi''s eyes. The woman''s outstretched hand paused in midair.

    "You want to be thrown into the desert too?" With that, Chu Yi stood up and walked to the backyard.

    Thinking of Feng Wuyou''s tragic state back then, the woman''s heart turned cold.

 Chapter 1479 Father And Daughter

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian left the Chu family, Yu Qian''s expression changed.

    Seeing Yu Qian stop, Xia Wanyuan nced at him. "What''s wrong?"

    "The aircraft fell."

    As soon as Yu Qian finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan''s expression changed. "What about Xiaxia?"

    Yu Qian did not speak. He turned around and strode away. "To China."

    Hearing that she was going to China, Xia Wanyuan''s heart skipped a beat and she followed Yu Qian.

    At that moment, at the foot of Wuyi Mountain, Little Jiajin was packing her things and preparing to return to China with Jun Shiling.

    "Daddy, did you find that sister?"

    "I''ve already gotten someone to look for her." Jun Shiling took the coat and put it on Little Jiajin.

    "Daddy, that sister is especially beautiful. Really, I think her eyes are as beautiful as Mommy''s." Thinking of Little Xiaxia''s lively eyes, Little Jiajin actually missed her a little. "Daddy, I want to y with her again."

    "We''ll talk when we find her." Jun Shiling picked up his bag and hugged Little Jiajin. "Let''s go."

    Little Jiajin leaned on Jun Shiling''s shoulder. "Daddy."

    "Say it."

    "I love you." Little Jiajin turned his head and smiled at Jun Shiling with curved eyes.

    A hint of warmth appeared in Jun Shiling''s eyes. He stroked Little Jiajin''s head. "Good boy."

    The two of them got into the car. The chauffeur stepped on the elerator and headed towards the airport.

    When they reached a traffic light, the chauffeur stopped the car and waited. A car behind suddenly hit them, stunning Xiao Jiajin, who was already asleep.<novelnext></novelnext>

    In the car behind, Li Fei shouted at Little Xiaxia fiercely, "If you move again, I''ll chop off your ws!"

    Liu Ting pushed Little Xiaxia to the side and persuaded Li Fei, "Alright, drive quickly. If not, we might have topensate. I don''t think the car in front is cheap."

    "Unlucky." Li Fei spat, then turned around and started the car.

    The green light had already lit up. The chauffeur stepped on the elerator and continued walking, but Li Fei''s car overtook them first. The chauffeur shook his head and thought to himself, If not for Jun Shiling being in a hurry to go to the airport, I would have made this ignorant person go bankrupt today.

    Little Jiajin was woken up. Hey in Jun Shiling''s arms and looked out. Caught off guard, he saw two bright eyes in the car beside him.

    Just by looking at each other, Little Jiajin patted Jun Shiling''s arm excitedly. "Daddy, that sister is in the car beside us. She''s in danger. Save her quickly!!"

    Jun Shiling nced at the car that had already passed in front of him and frowned. "Stop fooling around."

    "Daddy, I''m serious. Get someone to chase after the car in front." Little Jiajin was anxious. He jumped out of Jun Shiling''s arms and wanted to snatch the steering wheel from the driver.

    Jun Shiling could not do anything to him. He pressed him into the seat and instructed the chauffeur, "Follow the car in front."

    "Yes."

    Li Fei quickly noticed the car following behind. He thought that they were here to ask him forpensation and sped up to shake off the car behind, but he could not shake it off.

    Near the suburbs, Li Fei stopped the car, took a steel pipe, and got out. He knocked on the chauffeur''s window. "What do you want? If you follow me again, I''ll beat you up."

    The chauffeur did not speak. The car door behind opened and Jun Shiling carried Little Jiajin out of the car.

    Meeting Jun Shiling''s deep eyes and strong aura, Li Fei instantly understood that this was someone he could not afford to offend. Li Fei cowered. "How much money do you need to repair the car? I''llpensate you."

    Jun Shiling ignored him and walked straight to Li Fei''s car.

 Chapter 1480 Rescuing His Daughter

    Li Fei was worried that Jun Shiling would notice the person in the car and hurriedly walked over to stop him. "What do you want??"

    Little Jiajin red at Li Fei. "You bad person. You''re a bad person."

    Panic shed across Li Fei''s eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? My wife is in my car. She''s changing."

    His actions made Jun Shiling suspicious. Jun Shiling carried Xiao Jiajin and took a step forward. His strong aura instantly pressed down on Li Fei. "Move."

    Not wanting Little Xiaxia to be discovered in the car, Li Fei went all out. He stood in front of the car and took out a card. "There''s five hundred thousand in the card. Take it away. It''s enough to repair your car, right?"

    Jun Shiling nced at the car behind him. The car was dark, and he could only see the faint figure of a woman.

    He turned his head slightly. "Lin Jing."

    Lin Jing immediately got out of the car with a few bodyguards and forcefully pulled Li Fei aside.

    Only then did Jun Shiling carry Little Jiajin forward and open the car door.

    "What are you doing?" To everyone''s surprise, Liu Ting was the only one in the car. She was sitting in the back of the car and looking at Jun Shiling in panic. "How can you treat my husband like this? We''re all serious businessmen."

    "You''re a bad person." Little Jiajin looked around but did not find Little Xiaxia. There was anxiety in his eyes. He looked at Jun Shiling. "Daddy, I really saw that sister in here just now. She must have hidden her."

    Jun Shiling replied and gestured for Lin Jing to bring the bodyguards over.

    The woman was not in a hurry at all. She sat in the car and did not move. "You''re breaking thew. You''re trespassing on someone''s car."

    Just as Lin Jing and the rest were about to break into the car, arge group of police cars roared over not far away. Their sharp voices cut through the sky.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "What are you doing?!" This was a small town at the foot of Wuyi Mountain. The people in the town were not familiar with someone like Jun Shiling, so they did not recognize him at all.

    Seeing the police walk over, not only were Li Fei and Liu Ting not afraid, but they also rxed because they knew that this group of police were familiar with them.

    ? "They forcefully searched our car. We didn''t do anything!!" Liu Ting ran to the police and cried.

    "Move!" The police pushed the bodyguards away. "You''re rebelling. You don''t obey thew at all. Do you know where we are?? If you don''t leave, I''ll arrest all of you."

    How could a police officer here push specially trained bodyguards? Seeing that he could not do anything to these people, the captain looked at Jun Shiling. "You¡­"

    Jun Shiling did not hear him finish speaking and ced Little Jiajin on the ground. Then, he reached out and touched the back of the front passenger seat in the car.

    "You person, I''m talking to you. Why are you¡­" The captain cursed and stepped forward. Before he could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already pulled down the cushion and Little Xiaxia rolled out.

    Because she had been cooped up inside for too long and her stamina was weak, Little Xiaxia was already unconscious when she rolled out.

    The captain closed his mouth. He looked at the little girl on the ground and then at Li Fei. "What''s going on?"

    Little Jiajin quickly stepped forward. "Daddy, Sister is unconscious. Save her."

    Jun Shiling picked Little Xiaxia up and sat back in the car, then instructed Lin Jing, "Go to the nearest hospital."

    "Yes."

    The car was driving quickly towards the hospital. Little Xiaxia subconsciously moved in Jun Shiling''s arms, causing Jun Shiling to look down. What he saw stunned him.

 Chapter 1481 Daddy

    Although Little Xiaxia''s eyes were closed, her facial features were extremely exquisite, like a beautiful doll. What stunned Jun Shiling was not that she was good-looking, but that her facial features actually looked a little simr to Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling''s expression was not right, Little Jiajin leaned over and nced at him. "Daddy, what''s wrong?"

    Jun Shiling stared intently at Little Xiaxia. "This youngdy, where did you meet her??"

    "On the tea mountain." Little Jiajin widened his ck and white eyes. "What''s wrong?"

    Jun Shiling did not answer Little Jiajin. He sent a message to Lin Jing, who immediately sent someone to Wuyi Mountain.

    Because Lin Jing did not attend personally, the person in charge told the local people that someone hade to ask who had lost the child.

    Coincidentally, someone really lost the child locally, so the subordinate quickly sent the news back to Jun Shiling.

    At that moment, Little Xiaxia was being resuscitated in the hospital. In order not to let Little Xiaxia be discovered, Liu Ting hid her in the tight leather seat. If Jun Shiling had not discovered it in time, Little Xiaxia might have died fromck of oxygen inside.

    Hearing the news reported by his subordinate, Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes. I must have guessed wrongly. "Tell them that we''ll send her back after saving her."

    "Yes."

    Little Jiajiny on Jun Shiling''sp and looked at the operating theater worriedly. "Daddy, will Sister be fine??"

    "Yes." Jun Shiling stroked Little Jiajin''s head.

    At that moment, the operating theater door opened and the doctor walked out with a regretful expression. "I''m sorry, this youngdy''s life was saved, but because she has beencking oxygen for too long, there might be some aftereffects."

    Jun Shiling frowned slightly. "What aftereffects?"

    "That''s hard to say. We''ll only know when she wakes up."

    When Little Xiaxia woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw a pair of round eyes. Seeing that Little Xiaxia was awake, Little Jiajin happily pulled Jun Shiling''s hand. "Daddy, look, this little sister is awake."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Little Xiaxia tilted her head slightly. A tall and handsome man stood in front of her. For some reason, Little Xiaxia had an inexplicable closeness and good impression of Jun Shiling.

    In a daze, she followed Little Jiajin''s words and called out to Jun Shiling, "Daddy?"

    Jun Shiling''s heart skipped a beat, and the rocks in his eyes copsed. He stared intently at Little Xiaxia. "What did you say??"

    Little Xiaxia pointed at Little Jiajin. "He calls you Daddy."

    Jun Shiling frowned. He felt that something was wrong. He pointed at Little Jiajin beside him. "Do you know who he is?"

    Little Xiaxia shook her head. "No."

    "Then who are your parents?"

    Little Xiaxia thought for a while and her head began to hurt. She looked at Jun Shiling with tears in her eyes. "You."

    At this moment, the doctor walked over. "This is the aftereffects of herck of oxygen for too long. It might cause some of her memories to be lost."

    "What about the future?" Jun Shiling looked at the doctor. "Will the memory loss affect the future?"

    "It''s not certain yet. We have to observe for a while."

    "Got it." Jun Shiling looked at Little Xiaxia, who was lying on the bed with tears in her eyes. For some reason, he felt ufortable when he saw this child. "Please treat her. We still need to return to Beijing."

    "Okay."

    After instructing the doctor, Jun Shiling pulled Little Jiajin and was about to leave when Little Xiaxia held his hand. "Daddy."

 Chapter 1482 Returning To Beijing

    Jun Shiling was stunned. "What?"

    Little Xiaxia did not know where she was now. She only knew that the man in front of her was someone she relied on very much. "Daddy, hug."

    Because she had been stuffed into the back seat and bumped around, Little Xiaxia had a wound on her face and looked very pitiful. Her eyes were red as she looked at her. No one could resist her.

    Jun Shiling was about to leave when he stopped. Little Xiaxia climbed out of bed and hugged Jun Shiling''s leg. "Daddy, hug."

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he reached out and picked Little Xiaxia up. A sweet milky fragrance wafted into his nose. Jun Shiling''s eyes flickered.

    Little Xiaxia leaned on Jun Shiling''s shoulder, her eyes curved into crescents. "Daddy, I''m hungry."

    Little Jiajin did not mind his father being carried by Little Xiaxia at all. Now, his heart was filled with this little sister he had just met. "Daddy, Sister said that she''s hungry. I''ll get Uncle Lin Jing to get food for Sister."

    "Mm."

    Just as he finished speaking, Little Jiajin left the ward, leaving Jun Shiling and Little Xiaxia sizing each other up.

    The more Little Xiaxia looked at Jun Shiling, the more she liked him. She hugged Jun Shiling''s neck. "Daddy."

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment before replying, "Mm."

    Little Xiaxia smiled until her dimples appeared. Her shallow dimples were especially simr to Xia Wanyuan''s. Jun Shiling''s breathing paused. He reached out and stroked Little Xiaxia''s head. "Rest for a while."

    "Daddy, will you leave?" Little Xiaxia frowned. "Don''t leave me. I''m afraid."

    Jun Shiling shook his head. "No, don''t worry."

    "Okay." Only then did Little Xiaxia obediently return to the bed. She smiled sweetly at Jun Shiling and closed her eyes.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia sleeping, Jun Shiling''s eyes darkened. He walked out of the ward. "Go and investigate if this little girl is a local."

    "Okay."

    He had originally nned to leave Wuyi Mountain in the morning, but because of Little Xiaxia, he had dyed it for a long time. There were several important meetings in Beijing, and he could not dy it anymore.

    Jun Shiling thought for a while and finally brought Little Xiaxia to the ne. He wanted to bring her back to Beijing for treatment first before sending her back.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Little Xiaxia woke up and realized that she was in a bumpy cabin. She rubbed her eyes and her wrist was gently pulled away. "Don''t rub..."

    Little Xiaxia turned her head and smiled. "Daddy."

    Jun Shiling did not correct her now. He took a towel and wiped Little Xiaxia''s hands. "Since you''re awake, get up. We''re about to reach the airport."

    Not long after, the nended at the Beijing airport. At the entrance of the airport, a tall figure was standing there.

    Seeing Jun Shiling carrying a small figure over from afar, Xiao Bao frowned slightly, thinking that his younger brother was acting coquettishly again.

    When Jun Shiling approached, Xiao Bao realized that the person in Jun Shiling''s arms was actually wearing a beautiful dress.

    He walked forward and called out to Jun Shiling very calmly, "Father."

    "Mm," Jun Shiling replied. Little Xiaxia turned around curiously and met Xiao Bao''s gaze.

    Before Xiao Bao could speak, Little Xiaxia smiled first. She waved at Xiao Bao. "Hello, Brother."

    Little Xiaxia looked like Xia Wanyuan. Hearing her address him, Xiao Bao, who was already very calm, was a little excited.

    "Is this Little Xiaxia?"

    Jun Shiling shook his head. "No, let''s go back first."

    "Okay." Xiao Bao stared intently at Little Xiaxia, unable to calm down.

    At this moment, on the ne from Continent F to China, Yu Qian received a call. After responding, he sat quietly by the window and did not speak for a long time.

    ? Xia Wanyuan nced at him. "What is it?"

    Yu Qian''s eyes flickered. "It''s nothing."

    Perhaps everything was fated.

 Chapter 1483 - 1483 Daddy Takes Daughter

    1483 Daddy Takes Daughter

    After this call, Yu Qian sat by the window for a while before giving orders to return to Continent F and not go to China.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Little Xiaxia?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian in confusion. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to China?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°She¡¯s already safe. We¡¯re not going.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan still trusted Yu Qian on this matter. She nodded and did not ask further.

    !!

    At this moment, in the Chinese manor, the butler and servants were stunned when they saw this new youngdy.

    The main thing was that she looked too simr to Xia Wanyuan. Uncle Wang hesitantly stepped forward. ¡°Young Master, Madam¡­¡±

    ¡°They just look alike.¡± Jun Shiling carried Little Xiaxia in. ¡°Prepare a room for her.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Uncle Wang looked at Little Xiaxia and shook his head. How could they be so simr?

    Little Xiaxia only had a memory loss, but she was naturally familiar with Jun Shiling and her two brothers. She especially liked to stick to Jun Shiling, even more than the most mischievous Little Jiajin.

    Perhaps in a new environment, Little Xiaxia was unwilling to stay in the manor alone at all. When Jun Shiling went to work, Little Xiaxia liked to follow him.

    Hence, the employees of the Jun Corporation saw Jun Shilinge to thepany early in the morning with a child in each hand.

    The two fair children beside him looked as exquisite as children who had walked down from a New Year painting, especially Little Xiaxia. Her eyes were too simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s¡­

    Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, excitement shed across everyone¡¯s eyes.

    In the past three years, everyone had gradually discovered Xia Wanyuan¡¯s disappearance and Jun Shiling¡¯s abnormality. He had returned to his cold appearance five years ago. No one knew where Xia Wanyuan had gone, but everyone secretly hoped that Xia Wanyuan could return.

    Watching Jun Shiling and the two children enter the office, everyone discussed.

    In the office, Jun Shiling pointed at the toy room not far away. ¡°y there with Brother. I¡¯ll work.¡±

    Little Xiaxia shook her head. ¡°I want to be with you. I promise I¡¯ll be very obedient. I won¡¯t move.¡±

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he could not resist Little Xiaxia¡¯s wet eyes. ¡°Alright.¡±

    Just as Little Xiaxia had said, she obediently sat on Jun Shiling¡¯sp and did not move. She was quiet. asionally, Jun Shiling would lower his head to look at her, and she would look up and smile sweetly at Jun Shiling.

    A smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. He stroked Little Xiaxia¡¯s head, lowered his head, and drew a cross on the document.

    There were only five days left until the D World Alliance Meeting.

    In the past three years, to ordinary people, it was as if nothing had changed. However, to many people in D World, their understanding had entered a brand new field.

    After Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan suddenly left, Jun Shiling followed some clues and realized that there was a world that had been hidden.

    As for Yu Qian and the ck-robed man who had been appearing but could not be found, they were inextricably rted to another world.

    In the past three years, after Xia Wanyuan left, the ck-robed man seemed to have disappeared and never appeared in the world again.

    However, yesterday, the spy monitored that the ck-robed man had appeared in Continent F again.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. This should mean that Xia Wanyuan had appeared again.

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Little Xiaxia¡¯s head.

    Three years was long enough.

    At the same time, in a desert in Continent F, the ck-robed man was building a huge array with a group of people.

 Chapter 1484 The Emperor Is Heartless

    "Governor." The subordinate walked over. "We''re almost done with the construction. When are we starting?"

    The person addressed as governor was the ck-robed man that everyone had been looking for in the past three years. He stood at the edge of the desert and looked at everything in front of him. His eyes narrowed. "Of course we have to wait for the array spirit to appear."

    Although he had been following the ck-robed man, his subordinate sometimes could not understand what he was saying. "Where... is the array spirit?"

    The ck-robed man looked at the clear sky. "It''ll appear soon."

    ording to his calctions, the emperor''s star had been forcefully born against the heavens and would soon fall. Under such circumstances, Xia Wanyuan would definitely appear.

    The subordinate also looked into the sky with the ck-robed man. Other than a wild bird flying, there was nothing else. Looking at the ck-robed man beside him, the subordinate''s heart turned cold.

    At this moment, at the south end of Continent F, Xia Wei was standing in the wind on a luxurious ship.

    "Young Master." The subordinate walked forward and handed the document in his hand to Xia Wei.

    At this moment, Xia Wei was as gentle and elegant as three years ago. However, no one would think that Xia Wei was easy to bully like three years ago.

    In three years, Xia Wei had already be the most important person beside Chu Man.

    No one had expected this seemingly weak man to have so many ns in his heart. By Chu Man''s side, he had doubled the power under Chu Man.

    Xia Wei flipped open the document and took a look. When he saw the words "Yu Qian, Xia Wanyuan, and Chu Yi meet", his eyes paused.

    Xia Wei closed the document calmly and asked, "Where''s the boss?"

    "The boss is on the deck."

    Xia Wei left the cabin and watched from afar as Chu Man leaned back in her chair and drank.

    She was wearing a ck strapless dress, and her hair was slightly curled. It hung behind her shoulders. To be called a fiery rose by the people of Continent F, every inch of Chu Man revealed charm.

    Hearing footsteps, Chu Man turned around. "You''re here."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wei walked forward and took the cup from Chu Man''s hand. "Girls should drink less."

    Chu Man was not angry when her hand was empty. She supported her head with her right hand and looked at Xia Wei quietly. "Sometimes, I really can''t understand you."

    Xia Wei poured a cup of tea for Chu Man. "What?"

    Chu Man took a sip of tea from Xia Wei''s hand. The bitterness spread on the tip of her tongue. Chu Man ced her hand on the back of Xia Wei''s. "The first time I saw you, I thought you were a refined schr."

    Xia Wei looked up and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Am I not?"

    Chu Man shook her head and raised her hand to point at Xia Wei''s heart. "Xia Wei, you''re the most heartless person in the world. I really don''t know what your heart is filled with after it''s cut open."

    Xia Wei held Chu Man''s hand. "Guess?"

    Chu Man smiled and pulled her hand out of Xia Wei''s. "I can''t guess. I don''t want to guess."

    Xia Wei sat beside Chu Man and poured himself a ss of wine. "Do you remember what I reminded you back then?"

    A bitter smile shed across Chu Man''s eyes. "I remember. You said never to fall in love with you."

    Xia Wei acknowledged and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.

    Emperors had no feelings. Even if they did, it was only limited to family.

    Chu Man shook her head. "Go ahead. I want to be alone for a while."

    "Okay."

    Xia Wei gradually disappeared from Chu Man''s sight. Chu Man sighed softly.

    Unfortunately, I had already fallen in love.

 Chapter 1485 - 1485 Appearing at the Olympic Audience Platform

    1485 Appearing at the Olympic Audience tform

    There was no reluctance in Xia Wei¡¯s eyes when he saw Chu Man behind him. He strode back to the bedroom and dismissed all his subordinates. ¡°All of you can leave.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± After everyone retreated, Xia Wei closed the window and unbuttoned his shirt.

    On his originally smooth chest, a ck nine-pointed star was entrenched.

    Xia Wei measured the center of the star from the heart. His eyes flickered. There were only two months left.

    The array a thousand years ago had already consumed his life. A thousand yearster, he walked against time and could not maintain his life for long.

    He could not wait any longer. He had to find Xia Wanyuan as soon as possible.

    At that moment, an encrypted letter appeared on the screen. Xia Wei took a look and tapped his fingertip to reply.

    ¡°To participate in the Alliance Meeting.¡±

    The other party quickly replied, ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the manor in China, Little Xiaxia was looking curiously at Xiao Qingli in front of her. ¡°Brother?¡±

    Xiao Qingli had inherited all the merits of An Rao and Bo Xiao¡¯s facial features. At such a young age, he could already tell that he would be handsome in the future. He quietly sized up Little Xiaxia for a while and suddenly tilted his head and smiled. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    Little Xiaxia blinked, her clear eyes. ¡°Daddy said that my name is Xiaxia.¡±

    ¡°Sister Xiaxia.¡± Xiao Qingli reached out to pull Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand, then looked at An Rao, who was standing at the side. ¡°Mommy, Sister is so beautiful. Can I marry her in the future?¡±

    ???! An Rao could not help butugh. ¡°You like this sister?¡±

    Xiao Qingli nodded. ¡°She¡¯s so cute.¡±

    An Rao also felt that Little Xiaxia was cute, but when she thought of the betrothal set between her and Xia Wanyuan, she looked a little troubled. ¡°But¡­¡±

    Xiao Qingli did not care what An Rao said. He held Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°I have many toys. I¡¯ll bring you to y.¡±

    ¡°Mm!!¡± Little Xiaxia nodded obediently. ¡°Thank you, Brother.¡±

    Xiao Qingli happily brought Little Xiaxia into his toy room. Not far away, Xiao Bao and Little Jiajin stood quietly.

    ¡°Brother.¡± Little Jiajin looked quite unhappy. ¡°My sister was snatched away.¡±

    Xiao Bao was much calmer than Little Jiajin, but his eyes were still a little dark. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Sister is ours!¡± Little Jiajin was furious. ¡°Brother, go and snatch Sister back.¡±

    Xiao Bao nced at Little Jiajin. ¡°Go yourself.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao turned around to the study. He needed to practice calligraphy and painting every day, and his mission today was notpleted.

    Little Jiajin stood rooted to the ground and looked in the direction Xiao Bao had left in, then at Little Xiaxia. His chubby face frowned slightly as he squatted on the ground and sulked for a long time.

    Time gradually disappeared, and all the fluctuations seemed to be hidden under the calmke.

    Suddenly, one day, a stone was thrown into theke, causingyers of ripples.

    This stone came from a news report.

    It was the time of the Olympics. The media reporters¡¯ cameras were focused on the international stage and they frequently sent reports about the situation of foreignpetitions to China.

    Hundreds of new news were released every day. Initially, no one paid much attention to these news. However, after a photo of one of the news was erged by everyone, it caused a heated discussion on the Inte.

    In this photo, a camera was aimed at the audience. In thest row, there was a very familiar figure.

    It was Xia Wanyuan.

 Chapter 1486 Public Appearance

    After all, the media had only casually taken a photo of the audience, so the camera was not focused on Xia Wanyuan. The figure in the photo was a little blurry.

    However, Xia Wanyuan''s temperament was too outstanding and was very eye-catching in the crowd. There were clearly hundreds or thousands of audience in the camera, but their gazes were immediately attracted by the figure sitting quietly.

    [ F*ck¡­ It''s impossible for someone to look so simr¡­ This is Xia Wanyuan, right? Who''s the man beside her? Why isn''t she with Jun Shiling when shees back¡­ My heart is already starting to ache. ]

    [ The old fan is already having a heart attack. Even if her facial features are very blurry, the temperament on Xia Wanyuan can''t be imitated. There''s a 99% chance that this person is Xia Wanyuan. ]

    [ I''m crying even more sadly than the day Yiping went to Daddy to get the money. Did Xia Wanyuan really break up with CEO Jun¡­ ]

    In the office, the moment he saw the photo, Jun Shiling''s eyes were cold and did not fluctuate at all. However, his hand that was holding the document trembled slightly.

    He nced at Yu Qian beside Xia Wanyuan. "There''s only this photo?"

    Lin Jing hesitated for three seconds. In the end, he lowered his head and handed another document to Jun Shiling.

    At this moment, on the Inte, while theizens were arguing, another clearer video appeared in front of the public.

    The video this time was a news report of the royal family of Ennd meeting foreign guests.

    In the report, Prince Charlie met the mysterious continent master from Realm A. He waited in front of the pce with the royal family.

    "The esteemed guest is here."

    As soon as the staff finished speaking, Prince Charlie tidied his sleeves and was about to wee them when he looked up and was stunned to see the two people walking in.

    "Prince Charlie." Yu Qian stood in front of Prince Charlie and nodded slightly at him. Then, he tilted his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan. "This is my wife."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "¡­" Prince Charlie had been professionally trained since he was young, but at this moment, he still could not control the expression on his face. "Your wife looks a little familiar¡­"

    "Really?" Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. "It''s an illusion."

    "Hehe." Prince Charlieughed dryly. "This way, please."

    Under everyone''s gazes, Prince Charlie, who had always been impable in etiquette, had the same hands and feet. However, at this moment, he could not care less about losing face. He stared intently at Xia Wanyuan''s side profile and felt that his worldview had copsed.

    Having already walked to the living room, Prince Charlie was not in the mood to receive guests. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Yu Qian and looked at Xia Wanyuan. "I wonder which family the Madam of the Continent is from. She has an extraordinary bearing."

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak, but Yu Qian said, "The prince of Ennd is very concerned about my wife?"

    Sensing the increasing sh, Prince Charlie reluctantly retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan. "I''m just curious."

    "Her name is Yu Xuan." Yu Qian mmed the cup in his hand on the table. "Is there a problem?"

    Today was a banquet organized by the royal family of Ennd. It was indeed rude of him to keep staring at the guests. Prince Charlie smiled apologetically. "I''m sorry."

    "How is there no problem?" Before Prince Charlie could finish speaking, An Luo''s voice came from the door.

    The child who had once hidden behind An Lin had already grown into a tall youth. The three years of true management had allowed him to settle down.

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met An Luo''s blue eyes.

    The corners of An Luo''s lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Did your wife have stic surgery?"

 Chapter 1487 Announcement

    Hearing An Luo''s words, Prince Charlie''s expression changed. This was too arrogant. He subconsciously looked at Yu Qian. As expected, Yu Qian''s expression had already darkened.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan said, "No."

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan''s voice, An Luo''s blue eyes narrowed slightly. "Why do I feel that not only did you have stic surgery, but you also changed your vocal cords? Otherwise, why do you look so simr to someone I know?"

    Yu Qian stood up and took two steps forward, blocking Xia Wanyuan behind him. "Since the royal family of Ennd is not sincere, we don''t have to stay here anymore."

    With that, Yu Qian gestured for Xia Wanyuan to leave with him.

    Prince Charlie looked at Yu Qian and then at Xia Wanyuan. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yu Qian. "Governor, don''t mind him. Our Young Master An Luo has a more direct personality. How about this? I''ve prepared some gifts for Madam. If Madam is satisfied, can we pretend that this small conflict didn''t happen today?"

    With that, Prince Charlie gestured for the staff to bring the greeting gift he had prepared for Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan opened the box and saw an embroidered silk scarf inside. The light-colored orchid had a faint silver edge andy on the snow-white handkerchief.

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Yu Qian had already returned to his seat. "It''s naturally impolite to decline Prince Charlie''s kindness."

    Prince Charlie''s gaze darted between Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan with aplicated expression. He smiled at Prince Charlie. "Okay."

    The banquet began in the pce. At this moment, the domestic Weibo had already exploded.

    [ This is f*cking Xia Wanyuan. I''ll twist my head off and kick it for you. What''s going on?? What wife of the governor?? Where''s our CEO Jun? ]

    [ I''m going to cry from anger. What is Xia Wanyuan doing? Why is she walking with Wei Zimu? F*ck, I have a bad guess. Did Xia Wanyuan get together with Wei Zimu a long time ago? That''s why CEO Jun divorced her. ]

    [ The wealthy circle is so chaotic. Wei Zimu has also changed a lot¡­ He looks unfathomable, so the WanShi couple I chased for so long is so tragic?? I don''t believe in love anymore. Goodbye. ]<novelnext></novelnext>

    The scandal between Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu became more and more intense. Jun Shiling, who had not updated for more than three years, posted a new post when people were caught off guard.

    @ Jun Shiling: "I''m not divorced. I''ll always love you."

    [ Don''t be like this¡­ CEO Jun, that person is clearly Xia Wanyuan. You''re so affectionate that she doesn''t take you to heart at all. ]

    [ CEO Jun is so pitiful¡­ He raised the child alone here and even had the fantasy that Xia Wanyuan would return. I didn''t expect Xia Wanyuan to have long be the noble wife of the governor and didn''t care that her husband was here. ]

    [ I suddenly want to quit being a fan¡­ What is going on¡­ Doting on CEO Jun. ]

    In the international sea, Yu Qian had also seen Jun Shiling''s Weibo post. He sneered and threw his phone in front of Xia Wanyuan. "Are you happy?"

    Xia Wanyuan did not take the phone. She looked up at Yu Qian quietly for a while, then shook her head slightly. "Yu Qian, didn''t you realize?"

    Yu Qian''s eyes darkened. "What did you realize?"

    Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Yu Qian''s eyes. "In the past, there were no emotions here."

    However, now, there were some cracks in those dead sea-like eyes.

    Yu Qian''s body stiffened. He stared fixedly at Xia Wanyuan. After a while, he turned and strode away.

    That figure seemed to have more or less left in a panic.

 Chapter 1488 Siblings Meet

    The news of Xia Wanyuan''s appearance in Ennd''s pce became the biggest hot topic that day, so Xia Wei naturally saw it.

    At that moment, Xia Wei was sitting on the deck drinking with Chu Man.

    He leaned back in his chair and casually swiped his phone twice. However, his eyes paused when he saw the news photos.

    However, he quickly restrained his emotions and ced the wine ss on the table. "Didn''t the Cape family send us an invitation some time ago?"

    Chu Man raised an eyebrow. "Haven''t you never been interested in going out?"

    Strangely, ever since Xia Wei came to her side, he had been acting as the behind-the-scenes strategist. He was not interested in going out at all and was more willing to stay in his study to write and draw.

    Xia Wei replied, "I''ve changed my mind. I''ll leave now."

    With that, Xia Wei stood up and left before Chu Man could speak.

    Watching Xia Wei leave inrge strides, Chu Man was deep in thought. She called her subordinate over. "Follow Xia Wei."

    "Yes."

    Six hourster, Xia Wei''s ne arrived in Ennd.

    In an ancient castle in Ennd, Yu Qian sat in the garden and quietly read the newspaper in his hand. However, ten minutes had passed, and the newspaper had not been flipped open once.

    "Governor, someone from Chu Man''s side is here to visit." The servant walked over and handed an invitation to Yu Qian.

    Yu Qian took a look and raised an eyebrow. "Chu Man?"

    "Yes."

    Yu Qian sneered. "What Chu Man? I''m afraid there''s someone else. We won''t see him. Don''t let Xia Wanyuan know."

    "Yes."

    Just as the servant left, Xia Wanyuan walked over.

    Yu Qian looked up at her. There was no longer any panic in his deep eyes. They were as quiet as a well that had been silent for ten thousand years. "What''s the matter?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan sat in front of Yu Qian. "I heard that the Sang Continent has begun to move."

    "It won''te to you." Yu Qian''s tone was very cold. "It''s not your ce to worry."

    Xia Wanyuan was already used to Yu Qian''s unpredictable personality. She did not continue and quietly looked at the teacup in front of her.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had not spoken for a long time, Yu Qian looked up at her.

    Perhaps because she had returned to D World, Xia Wanyuan had lost some weight recently, and her eyes were gloomy. Actually, she was already a person who knew how to hide her emotions, but she still could not hide that faint worry.

    "I want to listen to the Book of Poetry tonight," Yu Qian suddenly said, raising apletely unrted topic.

    Xia Wanyuan replied, "Sure."

    For some reason, Yu Qian''s expression suddenly softened. He stood up. "Pack up and let''s go out for a meal."

    "Where are we going?"

    Yu Qian did not answer.

    An hourter, Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan stood in front of a beautiful ancient castle.

    After the report, the door opened. Before they could enter, someone strode out.

    The subordinate assigned by Chu Man followed Xia Wei. She secretly nced at Xia Wei, her heart filled with shock.

    Ever since Xia Wei appeared, he had never shown his emotions. Even in the face of life and death, he had never changed his expression.

    However, at this moment, she could clearly feel Xia Wei''s uncontroble excitement.

    At that moment, Xia Wei could not care less about the thoughts of the people around him. He walked straight to Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan. "Greetings, Governor."

    Yu Qian turned to look at Xia Wanyuan, whose eyes were already red. "Aren''t you going to invite us in?"

 Chapter 1489 Meeting Openly

    Xia Wei retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan and sized Yu Qian up for a second before nodding at him. "Pleasee in."

    Yu Qian strode forward and Xia Wanyuan followed. Xia Wei walked beside them and could not help but turn to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    When he arrived at the living room and looked at the furnishings in the living room, a deep look shed across Yu Qian''s eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "The decoration style in this living room is what my wife likes, don''t you think?"

    Xia Wanyuan ignored the dark look in Yu Qian''s eyes. She sat on a chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

    The top-notch green mountain tea was added with a few petals after the rain. There was a fragrance in the bitterness, which was Xia Wanyuan''s habit in her previous life.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s cold side profile, for some reason, an unknown anger surged in Yu Qian''s heart. He looked at Xia Wei. "How should I address you?"

    "Xia Wei." Xia Wei did not hide it anymore. He looked straight into Yu Qian''s eyes and released the emperor''s aura that he had deliberately concealed. It was vaguely like a tall mountain, surprising Yu Qian.

    "As expected of her younger brother." The corners of Yu Qian''s lips twitched.

    As if he was not surprised that Yu Qian knew his identity, Xia Wei calmly weed Yu Qian''s scrutiny.

    Since the matter had been exposed, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it anymore. She looked at Xia Wei. She clearly had many things to say, but when the words reached her mouth, they only became, "Are you okay?"

    However, it was this sentence that made the eyes of an emperor who could carry the entire country with his shoulders turn red.

    In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was by Xia Wanyuan''s side. Xia Wanyuan was the eldest sister and had brought them through the chaotic world. Xia Wanyuan had used all sorts of methods to raise them.

    Xia Wei nodded. "Mm."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Wei seemed to be unable to hold it in anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed Xia Wanyuan''s wrist. He squatted in front of Xia Wanyuan and looked at her quietly.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch Xia Wei''s head, a sincere smile in her eyes. "Didn''t I say that you''re not allowed to lie?"

    Xia Wei was raised by Xia Wanyuan alone. She knew Xia Wei too well.

    The current Xia Wei was much more mature than when she left. Even if he tried his best to hide it, he could not hide the sharp des and aura in his eyes.

    These things would not appear out of thin air. Xia Wanyuan was thinking about what the entire country had experienced after she left back then. It had actually caused Xia Wei to be like this.

    Xia Wei was so smart that he could tell what Xia Wanyuan was thinking at a nce. He smiled at her, like how he had always leaned into her arms when he was young in his previous life. "Sister, I''m very happy to see you again."

    Xia Wanyuan smiled. "Me too."

    Yu Qian stood at the side and watched coldly. His gaze swept across the two of them holding hands. "The rtionship between siblings is really touching. I wonder how Miss Chu Man will react if she finds out that her right-hand man is my wife''s younger brother??"

    Xia Wei could hear the warning in Yu Qian''s words, but he was unmoved. "Of course you don''t have to worry about this."

    Yu Qian did not say anything else. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. "I have a gter. Let''s go."

    Hearing Yu Qian say that he was leaving, Xia Wei frowned. He looked at Xia Wanyuan, who gently pressed his wrist. Only then did Xia Wei stand up. "Sister, let me send you."

    "Mm."

    At this moment, outside the door, the people Chu Man had sent were constantly pressing the shutter and sending back photos.

 Chapter 1490 A Thousand Years Ago

    Chu Man leaned back in her chair and flipped through the photos of Xia Wei talking to Yu Qian and the rest.

    From the first time she saw Xia Wei until now, he had always been gentle in front of her, as if nothing could trigger his emotions.

    However, in the photo, Xia Wei had an expression she had never seen before. The mask on his body was lowered.

    At this moment, Xia Wei gave her the feeling of an unfathomable king. He was like an abyss, terrifying, but it made one want to approach him.

    From the beginning when Xia Wei met Chu Man, he had used the alias of Xia Wan. At this moment, in Chu Man''s opinion, Xia Wei had deliberately thought of this name ording to Xia Wanyuan''s name.

    She tightened her grip on the photo and a hint of mockery shed across her eyes. "As expected of China''s number one celebrity. Her ability to charm people is really top-notch."

    The subordinate looked at Chu Man carefully. "Boss, don''t you think Xia Wanyuan and Mr. Xia look a little simr? Could the two of them¡­"

    Chu Man''s expression was calm. "No."

    Back then, when she saw Xia Wanyuan for the first time, she also felt that Xia Wei looked a little simr to her. Hence, she specially got someone to leave behind the cup that Xia Wanyuan had drunk from. From the DNA extracted from it, she and Xia Wei were not rted by blood at all.

    Later on, she had also gotten someone to thoroughly investigate Xia Wanyuan''s background. It was impossible for her to have a younger brother like Xia Wei.

    Chu Man narrowed her eyes. "Get someone to continue watching."

    "Yes."

    ¡ª¡ª

    On the other hand, Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan left the ancient castle.

    Yu Qian nced at Xia Wanyuan, who had been silent since they left the ancient castle. "He''s your younger brother from a thousand years ago??"

    Xia Wanyuan suddenly looked up. "What?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    The corners of Yu Qian''s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with understanding. "Do you think your identity is a huge secret?"

    "How did you know?" For so long, Yu Qian had never revealed anything about her identity.

    Facing Xia Wanyuan''s question, Yu Qian only shook his head gently. "I don''t know much, just a little."

    With that, Yu Qian looked at his watch. "The g is about to begin. Madam, let''s go?"

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was filled with confusion. She turned her head and nced at Yu Qian.

    In the past three years, she had already be the main person-in-charge of all Yu Qian''s forces. She had thought that although she did notpletely understand Yu Qian, she knew him quite well.

    However, at this moment, she felt that she had never understood Yu Qian.

    Did Yu Qian know my background from the beginning?? Other than him, who else knew?? I didn''t enter this time crack by chance at all, but by premeditation??

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had not followed, Yu Qian stopped and waited for her. "Why aren''t you leaving?"

    "When did you know?" Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian with a slightly cold expression. "Did you know from the beginning?"

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to leave without asking clearly, a hint of helplessness shed across Yu Qian''s eyes. He took two steps back. "No, I didn''t know before."

    At first, he knew about Xia Wanyuan because of Wei Zimu. He was very curious about the woman Wei Zimu had been worried about for more than ten years, so he pretended to be Wei Zimu and approached Xia Wanyuan.

    What surprised him was that Xia Wanyuan could easily differentiate him from Wei Zimu. At that time, he only felt that Xia Wanyuan had some eyesight and lost interest.

    The real interest in Xia Wanyuan was because of a coincidental meeting.

    Thinking of the ck-robed man''s words, a dark look shed across Yu Qian''s eyes. He was unwilling to say anything else. "There''s a surprise at today''s g. Are you sure you don''t want to go?"

 Chapter 1491 - 1491 CEO Jun Is Here!!!

    1491 CEO Jun Is Here!!!

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Yu Qian in confusion.

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s expression, she did not feel surprised at all. It was more of shock.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s bag and he reached out to help her carry it.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you surprised?¡± Xia Wanyuan pulled the strap of her bag and did not leave. ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that I¡¯m a demon?¡±

    !!

    ¡°A wisp of soul.¡± Yu Qian¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°Besides, so what if you¡¯re a demon? I¡¯ve never been afraid of anything.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan held her bag and looked straight into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Can a wisp of soul dissipate at any time?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered. His eyes had always been deep and cold, like cold jade that had been tempered with ice. They were always filled with coldness.

    However, at this moment, the warm light of the setting sun dyed the entire sky red. A ray of light fell into Yu Qian¡¯s eyes. His back was facing the setting sun, and his eyes were blurry.

    ¡°We agreed on ten years.¡± Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°At least in these ten years, I can¡¯t let you leave. Give up.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian turned around and left.

    Looking at Yu Qian¡¯s back in the setting sun, Xia Wanyuan had a strange feeling. Why did I feel that Yu Qian was angry?

    Seeing that Yu Qian had already walked far away, Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and followed him.

    At the end of the night, Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian arrived at the entrance of Ennd¡¯srgest auction house.

    Ever since Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan appeared in Ennd¡¯s royal family, the two of them had already be the focus of the media. Now, they attracted arge number of media reporters wherever they went.

    Yu Qian got out of the car first. He stood by the car and waited for Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a ck flowing dress that melted into the night, like the most elegant ck swan.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, all the cameras were aimed at her.

    ¡°Miss, are you Chinese??¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, are you Xia Wanyuan? Why are you here?? Do you still know Jun Shiling??¡±

    ¡°Did you undergo stic surgery, or are you Xia Wanyuan to begin with? Are you divorced from Jun Shiling?? This gentleman called you Madam. Then did youmit bigamy??¡±

    Question after question was thrown at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan walked calmly into the auction house, but there were too many media reporters watching. The passageway to the auction house was instantly packed.

    The bodyguards quickly moved out to open a path for Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to enter the venue, the reporters who wanted to make explosive news were anxious.

    A reporter stared at a gap and pounced on Xia Wanyuan.

    From the corner of her eye, Xia Wanyuan sensed someone pouncing over. She moved her feet and prepared to dodge.

    However, Xia Wanyuan had not worn high heels much in the past three years. Today, she was wearing a pair of very thin high heels. Now, she could not help but lean her body.

    Yu Qian was an extremely clean freak. It was impossible for him to reach out and catch Xia Wanyuan. Without Yu Qian¡¯s orders, the others did not dare to touch her.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was about to fall, an arm wrapped around her waist and caught her steadily. At the same time, he kicked the reporter who pounced over. The reporter was kicked into the distance and hugged his stomach as he wailed on the ground.

    However, at this moment, no one¡¯s attention was on the reporters.

    Because everyone¡¯s gazes were focused on the owner of that arm.

 Chapter 1492 - 1492 Strange atmosphere

    1492 Strange atmosphere

    The man standing beside Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a ck suit. His handsome facial features were deep. Just standing there quietly made one feel a strong pressure.

    The light from the pce outlined the man¡¯s outline even more clearly. That handsome face was Jun Shiling.

    The originally busy entrance of the pce hadpletely fallen silent.

    The moment that arm touched her, Xia Wanyuan knew who it was.

    Her body was more familiar with Jun Shiling¡¯s approach than her rationality.

    She looked up and met Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes. Those eyes had once been filled with flowers and storms, but at this moment, they were as quiet as a dead sea without any fluctuations.

    The reporters were stunned for a moment before they reacted. The most explosive news had appeared tonight.

    shes kept shing, and shutters rose and fell.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling look at each other, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes and retracted his hand.

    ¡°Thank you, CEO Jun,¡± Yu Qian said, his cold gaze on Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan up, then stood up straight and looked straight at Yu Qian. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±

    ¡°Please.¡± Yu Qian extended his left hand slightly, signaling Jun Shiling to enter the auction with him.

    Everyone wanted to see the two of them fight. Now that Jun Shiling and Yu Qian were about to enter, the reporters could not hold it in anymore.

    ¡°CEO Jun, you were still attending the meeting in China in the morning. Why are you here now? Are you specially here for Xia Wanyuan?¡±

    ¡°Are the two of you divorced?? Why did Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu appear here?? What¡¯s your motive foring here?¡±

    ¡°Xia Wanyuan, how does it feel to be two-timing? Do you know that Jun Shiling will appear here today??¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Countless questions were directed at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.

    At this moment, Yu Qian said, ¡°I remember saying in Ennd¡¯s pce that she¡¯s not Xia Wanyuan.¡±

    With that, Yu Qian looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, what do you think?¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan, then looked at the camera. ¡°They¡¯re just simr.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, everyone was stunned. Simr?? This isn¡¯t Xia Wanyuan?? But why does she look so simr??

    ¡°Shall we go in together?¡± Jun Shiling looked at Yu Qian.

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    Watching the three of them walk side by side into the auction venue, everyone looked at each other.

    This world seemed to be a fantasy¡­

    The news quickly spread back to China. Seeing Jun Shiling rify to the camera that the person was not Xia Wanyuan, theizens¡¯ hearts broke.

    [ Although Jun Shiling doesn¡¯t look any different, I feel that he¡¯s so sad. What should I do? That person is clearly Xia Wanyuan¡­ How can there be twopletely identical people in the world? ]

    [ I¡¯m crying. Jun Shiling is protecting Xia Wanyuan, right? So the two of them are really divorced? ]

    [ I can¡¯t understand. I once thought that it was impossible for Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling to break up. In the end, it¡¯s only been two years. The most fickle thing in the world is indeed feelings. ]

    The Inte was lively, but the auction house was very quiet.

    It was mainly because Jun Shiling and Yu Qian were sitting in the first row, and Xia Wanyuan happened to be sitting between them. That strange atmosphere made the usually lively auction hall quite strange.

 Chapter 1493 One Billion

    In the auction house, some knew Yu Qian and Jun Shiling, and some did not. Everyone looked at each other without exception.

    "What''s going on? Are these two here to seek revenge??"

    "I just heard that these two seem to be love rivals. Do you see the woman in the middle?? Femme fatale."

    The whispers behind her reached Xia Wanyuan''s ears. She frowned slightly.

    At this moment, Jun Shiling, who had been silent, suddenly stood up. He looked coldly at the person who had been gossiping. "Do you like to gossip about others so much?"

    There was a restriction on entry to today''s auction. Those who coulde to the venue were either rich or noble. Now that they saw how arrogant Jun Shiling was, the people behind him had a temper.

    "Pfft, I can say whatever I want. Why? Does your family own this auction house?? Who do you think you are?"

    ? Jun Shiling did not argue with him. Instead, he reached out and called the person in charge over. "Get him out."

    "Yes." The staff looked at the person who had gossiped just now. "Please leave."

    The person who was singled out looked at the staff in shock, then at Jun Shiling. In the end, he left the venue angrily.

    With a lesson learned, the people behind became much more obedient.

    Jun Shiling sat back in his seat and looked down at the tea on the table. "Change it."

    "Yes." The staff immediately understood and got someone to change Xia Wanyuan''s ss.

    Xia Wanyuan kept her head lowered and quietly looked at the patterns on the cup, as if she was not paying attention to what was happening around her.

    In such a strange atmosphere, the auction began ording to the normal process.

    The things auctioned in this auction house were different from ordinary things in the outside world. The items auctioned here were rtively precious and rare.<novelnext></novelnext>

    However, Xia Wanyuan was not interested. She kept her head lowered, regardless of what was disyed on stage.

    Until the host announced thest exhibit. "I believe everyone present has more or less heard of the legend that can rotate time and space. Actually, this legend is true."

    As soon as the host finished speaking, the room was in an uproar.

    This tale was unbelievable, but this auction house had always been known for its integrity. Everyone''s hearts wavered.

    The host continued, "A thousand years ago, a ruler of a country used the Nine Stars Rotation Array to revive his family. This array formation is the key to rotating time and space."

    "So what''s your exhibit today?? That array??" The people below did not understand.

    The host shook his head. "Of course not. Even if I tell you the formation secret, you''re not a professional and can''t use it."

    "Then why are you so mysterious?"

    The host gestured for the staff to bring the exhibit up. Through the ss cover, everyone could see a roll of parchment lying peacefully inside.

    "Everyone, please take a look." The host introduced thest exhibit of the night to everyone. "Inside is the exact location of the Nine Stars Rotation Array. With this, when you gather the sacred artifacts, you will naturally have the power to travel through time and space."

    Although everyone was skeptical of the host''s words, everyone present did notck money. It was not bad to bring this potential treasure home.

    However, in the next second, the host reported the bidding price.

    "One billion."

    "Are you crazy??" Everyone present suspected that they were hallucinating and had heard wrongly.

    A billion??

 Chapter 1494 Untitled

    As if it was not explosive enough, the host added, "US dors."

    The room was in an uproar.

    "Ridiculous. You want to auction it off for a billion US dors for a ridiculous story? It''s more practical to rob a bank."

    "I''ve never seen such a high-priced exhibit before. Only a lunatic would buy this."

    Before everyone could finish discussing, someone had already bid. "1.1 billion."

    "..." Everyone looked at the source of the voice, wanting to see which fool was so rich. Then, they saw Xia Wanyuan raise her hand.

    "Thisdy bid 1.1 billion. Is there anyone higher than her?"

    "1.2 billion," a man wearing a mask in the corner said.

    "1.2 billion. Okay, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?"

    "1.3."

    ..........

    The man in the corner seemed to be at odds with Xia Wanyuan. Every time Xia Wanyuan added a little, the man in the corner had to add more.

    Finally, when the man reached thirty, Xia Wanyuan gave up.

    "Three billion going once! Three billion going twice! Three billion going thrice! Alright, congrattions to this man for obtaining today''s auction item."

    The others in the venue were already stunned. What did three billion mean?? No matter how rich he was, he could not spend it like this.

    This auction house adhered to absolute confidentiality and fairness. After the buyer paid, the auction house transferred all themission to the seller. After the seller agreed, the auction item was sent to the buyer.

    Everyone was very curious about this person who had spent tens of billions, but the buyer was quite low-key. After taking the things, he disappeared.

    The auction ended and the people in the venue gradually left. Jun Shiling, who was sitting silently, finally turned his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan greedily before getting up to leave.

    After Jun Shiling left, Xia Wanyuan sat in her seat for a long time until Yu Qian reminded her coldly, "Are you leaving?"

    "Go first. I want to be alone for a while."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Are you sure?" Yu Qian frowned. "I''m not patient."

    Xia Wanyuan looked up, her eyes filled with a coldness that she had not shown in a long time. "I said, I want to stay alone for a while."

    Yu Qian was stunned by Xia Wanyuan''s fierceness. "Then stay by yourself."

    With that, Yu Qian strode away.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan was the only one in the venue. She quietly sipped her tea, thinking about something.

    Outside the door, Yu Qian called his subordinate over after taking a few steps. "What is Xia Wanyuan doing inside?"

    "Drinking tea."

    "What else?"

    "That''s it."

    "Keep an eye on her."

    At this moment, in a hotel very close to the auction house, a tall figure was standing by the window and quietly looking at the figure in the venue.

    "CEO Jun, why don''t you rest for a while?" Lin Jing walked in and persuaded Jun Shiling.

    Ever since he saw the news in the morning, Jun Shiling had rushed over with Lin Jing as quickly as possible. Jun Shiling had already been busy with work the entire nightst night. Now that he was tired from running around, Lin Jing was worried that Jun Shiling would not be able to take it.

    "No need." Jun Shiling took a sip of ck coffee. "Have you tracked the buyer''s information just now?"

    "As you expected, that person is indeed in contact with people from World A. We''ve changed ten groups of people and are following him closely. Don''t worry, we''ll definitely find the mastermind."

    "Mm." Jun Shiling nodded. "Send those things down."

    "Yes."

    Xia Wanyuan stayed in the venue for half an hour beforeing out. Just as she stepped out of the door, a child walked over with a box.

 Chapter 1495 Untitled

    "Sister, this is a gift from a big brother." The child handed the box to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it. Just as she was about to say something, the child quickly left.

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and opened the box. Inside was a neck pillow. Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    She had been running around recently. She, who had originally slept very well, had not been used to the hotel bed in the past few days and had barely slept.

    However, it was actually nothing serious. It was just that her neck was a little ufortable.

    During this period of time, even the servants in charge of her food, drinks, and daily needs did not notice anything unusual. In just half an hour, Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to notice.

    A smile appeared in her eyes as she reached out and closed the box.

    A few ck cars were parked by the street not far away. The subordinate also saw themotion on Xia Wanyuan''s side. "Continent Master, someone sent something to Xia Wanyuan. Do we need to bring it over? Could it be that they''re using this to send news??"

    Yu Qian''s gazended on the corners of Xia Wanyuan''s lips that had curled up slightly. He was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "No need. Call her over and let''s go together."

    "... Okay." The subordinate did not expect Yu Qian to be so tolerant of Xia Wanyuan now. He had clearly restricted Xia Wanyuan in all aspects previously. Even a mosquito wanting to approach Xia Wanyuan was under their surveince.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan had just met her ex-husband and received a gift. Just thinking about it, one would know who had sent this thing. Yu Qian could actually turn a blind eye to such a dangerous thing. The subordinate shook his head helplessly. I really can''t understand.

    After a while, Xia Wanyuan got into the car with the box. She nced at the hotel not far away and could vaguely see a tall figure standing in front of the window.

    Yu Qian followed her gaze and looked over, then reached out to close the window. "Let''s go back to A World."

    Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. "Where''s Xiaxia?"

    Yu Qian lowered his eyes slightly. "She''s safe. There''s something on in A World. We''ll go back now."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan was worried about Little Xiaxia''s safety. "Where is she?? No, I won''t go back until I see her."

    Yu Qian took out his phone and gently tapped twice, then handed it to Xia Wanyuan. "Are you satisfied??"

    Seeing the news on the phone, Xia Wanyuan''s eyes widened slightly. In the news photo, Little Xiaxia was being pulled forward by Jun Shiling, her big eyes filled with smiles.

    "Why would she?"

    Yu Qian did not answer Xia Wanyuan''s question. He looked at the chauffeur in front. "To the airport."

    "Yes."

    At this moment, the domestic media had exploded ever since the photo of Jun Shiling pulling Little Xiaxia to work was exposed.

    Little Xiaxia had been recuperating very well recently, and her injuries had almost healed, but she still liked to stick to Jun Shiling.

    If Jun Shiling went to work, Little Xiaxia would cry for a long time. Jun Shiling had no choice but to bring Little Xiaxia to work.

    Little Xiaxia loved tough and joke. She often sneaked out of the office to y when Jun Shiling was in a meeting. Once, when she ran to the first floor, Jun Shiling interrupted the meeting to pick her up and someone would take a photo of her.

    [ Is this the daughter who disappeared for more than three years??? Why does she look so much like Xia Wanyuan? ]

    [ How cute. I''ve long imagined what their children look like, but unfortunately, I haven''t been able to see them. Now that I''ve seen them, they''re in tragedy again. ]

    [ What a beautiful child. If Xia Wanyuan was still around, it would be a blissful family. I don''t understand what Xia Wanyuan is thinking??? The flowers at home don''t smell as good as wild flowers? ]

    On the other hand, looking at Little Xiaxia''s cute smile in the photo, the ck-robed man sneered. "Why could she?"

 Chapter 1496 Truth; Array Spirit

    "Sect Master, what did you say??" Hearing the ck-robed man mutter something, the subordinate looked at him in confusion.

    The ck-robed man waved his hand. "You can leave."

    "Yes."

    After everyone left, the ck-robed man lowered his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan and Little Xiaxia in the photo. He gently brushed away some ck cloth covering his face. The side profile under the ck cloth was actually extremely young.

    He tore Xia Wanyuan''s photo in half. "Why should you be on the happy side no matter what?"

    He threw the torn photo to the ground and crushed it with his foot.

    At this moment, the subordinate carefully reported at the door, "Sect Master, the head of the Lin family is waiting outside. He said that he has an appointment with you."

    "Let him in." The ck-robed man removed the ck cloth from his face and sat on the chair.

    Not long after, Lin Qingyuan walked in. "Long time no see. Should I call you Sect Master now?"

    The ck-robed man pointed at the seat beside him. "Please sit."

    Lin Qingyuan sat down and his subordinate immediately brought the tea to him. He looked at the fragrant green tea in front of him and then at the antique decorations and furnishings around him. Lin Qingyuan''s eyes flickered. "Sect Master, could you be Chinese?? This decoration and eating habits are very simr to China."

    The ck-robed man did not deny it. "I guess so. Master Lin, why are you here?"

    Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea. "Sect Master, you should know why I''m here, right? I heard that you just bought a map?"

    "Why? Is the Lin family interested in this too?"

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. "Since I''m here today, I want to openlymunicate all my intentions to the Sect Master."

    "Master Lin, please speak."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Sect Master, you seem to have been paying close attention to Xia Wanyuan all these years. Can you let me boldly guess if this Nine Stars Rotation Array is rted to Xia Wanyuan??"

    Hearing Lin Qingyuan''s words, the ck-robed man looked at him in surprise. "You''re smart."

    Lin Qingyuan smiled. "Sect Master, you''re too kind. Actually, I came here to tell you that as long as you need anything, our Lin family will definitely do our best to help."

    "What do you need?" The Lin family had a huge power in China. It was a good thing for the ck-robed man that Lin Qingyuan could take the initiative to express his goodwill.

    "I only want China. In the entire China, I want to annex the Jun family. I don''t covet anything else."

    The ck-robed man looked at Lin Qingyuan quietly for a while and finally nodded. "Sure."

    "Then as an ally, can I know if the woman beside Yu Qian is Xia Wanyuan?? What is her rtionship with the array?"

    "Yes." The ck-robed man nodded. "The Nine Stars Rotation Array is an ancient array and needs an array spirit."

    "Array spirit??" Usually, he only saw those things in books. Now that he heard the ck-robed man''s words, Lin Qingyuan subconsciously frowned.

    "Mm, the Nine Stars Rotation Array does have the ability to change time and space. To activate it, it requires an ancient sacred artifact. The array was activated once a thousand years ago, but there was a mistake and the sacred artifact was destroyed."

    "Then what''s the use of the array formation??"

    The corners of the ck-robed man''s lips curled up slightly. "Xia Wanyuan, who has condensed a thousand years of time energy, isparable to a sacred artifact."

    Lin Qingyuan''s eyes widened slightly. "You''re saying that Xia Wanyuan is the array spirit that activated this array?"

    "Mm." The ck-robed man nodded. "As long as you help me catch Xia Wanyuan, I''ll help you obtain the entire China. What''s the point of being a businessman? If you want, I can send you to the peak of power."

 Chapter 1497 Conspiracy

    Hearing the ck-robed man''s words, Lin Qingyuan was shocked. "Sect Master, aren''t your words a little too bold? It''s fine if I heard such words today, but I''ll pretend not to hear them."

    The ck-robed man chuckled. "Master Lin, as a man, have you never thought of experiencing the feeling of standing at the peak of power?"

    The ck-robed man usually spoke very calmly, but when he said this at this moment, his emotions clearly rose.

    Lin Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Sect Master has held power for a long time, so you''re naturally not unfamiliar with this feeling."

    The ck-robed man shook his head. "That''s different."

    This power that was controlled by others was fundamentally different from that power that dominated everything.

    Standing in the high hall and watching thousands of troops crawl under one''s feet and enjoying the worship of the people was a man''s lifelong pursuit.

    For some reason, at this moment, Lin Qingyuan felt that the ck-robed man seemed to be very far away from him, as if the ck-robed man did not belong to this era.

    Lin Qingyuan was not as ambitious as the ck-robed man had said. "I only want the Chinese market now."

    "No problem."

    "I''m a little curious." Lin Qingyuan looked at the ck-robed man. "Sect Master, with your ability, why can''t you capture Xia Wanyuan??"

    Speaking of this, the ck-robed man snorted coldly. "Do you think Yu Qian is an easy person to deal with?"

    "Isn''t Yu Qian Jun Shiling''s sworn enemy?? As long as you give enough conditions, will Yu Qian not agree to exchange Xia Wanyuan?"

    "Do you think I haven''t tried?" The ck-robed man''s expression was slightly cold.

    Yu Qian''s temper was difficult to understand. Until now, he did not know what Yu Qian was thinking.

    "What do you need me to do?" Lin Qingyuan picked up the teacup and gently blew at the tea leaves floating on the surface.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Jun Shiling and the rest organized an alliance meeting. A weekter."

    "Got it. I''ll think of a way to get news." Lin Qingyuan took a sip of tea. "Sect Master, I''ll rely on you to take care of me during this period of time."

    "You''re too kind."

    The two of them chatted in the hotel in the center of Ennd. At this moment, in the restaurant a street away, An Luo was poking the steak in front of him unhappily.

    The assistant could not stand it anymore and finally could not help but step forward. "Master, this is already the third steak¡­"

    An Luo threw his knife and fork aside. "Why is she ignoring me?"

    "¡­" The assistant looked up at the sky silently, thinking to himself that this was the twelfth time he had asked the same question. "Master, that person might not be the real Xia Wanyuan. Didn''t Jun Shiling say it himself? She might really not know you."

    "Hmph." An Luo snorted coldly. "Jun Shiling is useless. He doesn''t even dare to acknowledge his wife. He''s useless."

    "¡­" The corners of the assistant''s lips twitched. He thought to himself, Little ancestor, don''t say these things in front of CEO Jun.

    When he destroyed the fourth steak, An Luo stood up. "I''m going to look for Xia Wanyuan."

    "¡­" The assistant even wanted to jump off the building.

    The two generations of patriarchs of the An family were ruthless and experienced, but An Lin and An Luo''s personalities were different.

    An Lin was more reserved and did everything wlessly. When facing anyone, there was nothing wrong with etiquette. An Luo was different. He had to make the other party unhappy when he could not stand something.

    He could even mock Xia Wanyuan, let alone Yu Qian. The assistant was really afraid that An Luo would fight Yu Qian.

    Just as the assistant was worried, An Luo had already stood up and walked out the door. The assistant wailed in his heart and could only follow in the end.

 Chapter 1498 Sweet Three Babies

    Coincidentally, just as An Luo walked to the door, he met Jun Shiling walking over.

    An Luo did not like Jun Shiling in any way. "Hey, isn''t this CEO Jun?? CEO Jun''s wife is gone, yet he still has the mood toe and eat?? How magnanimous."

    Jun Shiling nced at An Luo and did not answer him. He walked straight into the restaurant.

    "What''s wrong?" An Luo deliberately wanted to make Jun Shiling unhappy. "If I had known earlier, I would have persuaded Xia Wanyuan to marry my brother when she was in France. My brother definitely wouldn''t have lost her."

    Jun Shiling finally stopped in his tracks. He turned around, his deep eyes filled with a shocking gloom. An Luo subconsciously looked away. "What are you looking at? Am I wrong?"

    "Master An, I think you forgot who provided your brother''s medicine."

    An Luo snorted unnaturally. "That''s two different things. Why didn''t you dare to admit that that woman was Xia Wanyuan just now?? I don''t believe that if I could recognize her, as her husband, how could you not recognize her?"

    Jun Shiling did not answer An Luo. He turned around. "Some things are not as simple as you think."

    "You¡­" An Luo wanted to retort, but looking at Jun Shiling''s lonely back, he suddenly could not say the mocking words. He sneered and turned to leave.

    After An Luo left, Jun Shiling stayed on the spot for two seconds before leaving. Lin Jing followed Jun Shiling and sighed softly in his heart.

    In the past few years, everyone had been asking about Xia Wanyuan''s whereabouts. Every time they asked, they would sprinkle salt on Jun Shiling''s wound again.

    Jun Shiling had to take on the heavy responsibility of the Jun Corporation, take care of the two children at home, and face the mockery and confusion of the outside world. In Lin Jing''s opinion, he could not bear it. He could not imagine how Jun Shiling had spent the lonely night.

    The two of them walked into the restaurant in silence. At that moment, Jun Shiling''s phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up and looked at it, his eyes filled with warmth.

    Pressing the answer button, two fair and tender faces surged into the video. Seeing Jun Shiling, Little Xiaxia smiled especially happily. Her beautiful dimples seemed to be able to contain the sweetest wine.

    "Daddy." Little Xiaxia looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes. "I miss you so much."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Little Xiaxia''s words instantly warmed Jun Shiling''s heart. He smiled. "Are you eating obediently??"

    "Yes!!" Little Xiaxia looked at Jun Shiling happily, but before she could speak, Little Jiajin squeezed over and called out sweetly to Jun Shiling, "Daddy."

    "Mm."

    "Hmph." Little Jiajin frowned. "Daddy, you''re not as enthusiastic about me as your are to my sister. You''re too much."

    Jun Shiling nced at Little Jiajin, who immediately shrank back.

    "Daddy, when are youing back?" The clingy Little Xiaxia could not leave Jun Shiling for more than a day.

    "I''ll be back the day after tomorrow."

    "Oh." Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, Little Xiaxia''s mouth twitched. She was clearly unhappy. "I''ll wait for Daddy toe back."

    "Mm."

    "Alright, the two of you go to sleep. I still have something to tell Daddy." A hand reached out from the camera and took the phone. Then, Xiao Bao''s face appeared in the camera.

    "Daddy."

    "Mm." Jun Shiling nodded. "Can you handle thepany''s matters?"

    "There are some small problems." Although Xiao Bao was still young, he had already begun to handle thepany''s matters. Jun Shiling had taught him step by step.

    "Okay, tell me. I''ll teach you¡­"

 Chapter 1499 For Attention

    Lin Jing stood at the side and watched Jun Shiling and Xiao Baomunicate about thepany. He felt that something was wrong.

    Actually, although Jun Shiling was strict with Xiao Bao, he was not strict enough to let a seven or eight-year-old child take over the entire family business so quickly.

    He had a bad feeling, but he could not find the ominous source. Lin Jing frowned slightly. Could it be that I was thinking too much??

    Night gradually fell in Ennd, and everything slowly fell silent. In Ennd''s airport, a ne took off and flew towards Continent F.

    When morning arrived in Ennd, Xia Wei had also returned to Continent F. Just as he stepped into the airport hall, he saw Chu Man standing not far away.

    Chu Man was wearing a red cheongsam. The traditional charm of China was entuated by her. She held a cigarette between her fingers and looked at Xia Wei indifferently. "I thought you couldn''t bear toe back."

    Xia Wei walked over and removed the cigarette from Chu Man''s fingertips. "Tomorrow is your birthday. Of course I have toe back."

    Chu Man sneered. "Is your name really Xia Wan?"

    "Is it important??"

    "You took it off Xia Wanyuan''s name, right?" Chu Man looked at Xia Wei coldly. "You''ve never left Continent F in the past three years. Only this time, and it''s because of her."

    Xia Wei only looked gentle, but he still had the arrogance of an emperor in his bones. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You crossed the line."

    With that, before Chu Man could speak, Xia Wei turned around and left.

    Looking at Xia Wei''s cold side profile, Chu Man''s palm was slightly pinched by herself. She had thought that those people from the Chu family were already the coldest and most heartless people, but now, it seemed that Xia Wei was the most heartless person she had ever seen in her life.

    At this moment, outside the airport, Xia Wei was holding his heart with a painful expression.

    It was getting closer and closer. Xia Wei was in so much pain that he could not take it anymore. He half-squatted on the ground and looked down at his chest. The ck nine-pointed star was about to cover his entire heart.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Mr. Xia, are you okay?" The subordinate noticed Xia Wei''s abnormality.

    "It''s nothing." Xia Wei gritted his teeth. "I''m a little airsick. I''ll rest for a while. Help me buy a bottle of water over there."

    "Okay."

    After his subordinate left, Xia Wei took out the painkiller from his pocket and swallowed it. Then, he leaned against the wall and sat down to rest.

    Not long after, Chu Man walked out of the airport. Xia Wei was sitting in a blind spot, so Chu Man did not notice him.

    "Where is he?" Chu Man looked around and asked when she did not find any traces of Xia Wei.

    "He was here just now." The subordinate looked around. "Mr. Xia said that he''s a little airsick. He might have left first."

    "Mm."

    The subordinate nced at Chu Man''s expression and advised hesitantly, "Boss, the doctor told you repeatedly that you can''t smoke. You clearly quit before, so why now¡­"

    Chu Man had stopped smoking three years ago. However, ever since Xia Wei arrived, not only did Chu Man smoke, but she also smoked very fiercely and more frequently.

    Hearing her subordinate''s words, Chu Man sneered. It was unknown if she wasughing at her subordinate or herself. "Have you seen him care about me the other times?"

    "¡­"

    In the other corner, Xia Wei had also heard Chu Man''s words. His hand that was covering his heart moved slightly, and there was no emotion in his lowered eyes.

 Chapter 1500 - 1500 Rescue

    1500 Rescue

    When Chu Man was talking to her subordinate, she subconsciously took out a cigarette and gestured for her subordinate to light it for her.

    However, just as she lit it, a hand reached out. Xia Wei frowned slightly. ¡°I told you not to smoke.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave??¡±

    Xia Wei shook his head. ¡°Let¡¯s go now. There are still many things to do.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Man¡¯s gaze shifted to Xia Wei¡¯s hand that was holding a cigarette. Her eyes seemed to be filled with joy and sorrow.

    At this moment, in Ennd, An Luo stood at the entrance of the ancient castle angrily.

    ¡°Why not??¡±

    ¡°Our governor said that the governor¡¯s wife is already very tired from the long journey and needs to rest.¡±

    The assistant looked at An Luo¡¯s ashen face and secretly took out his phone to send An Lin a message.

    Just as An Luo was about to explode, An Lin finally called.

    ¡°Brother.¡± An Luo¡¯s voice sounded quite aggrieved. ¡°Xia Wanyuan doesn¡¯t want to see me.¡±

    Ever since An Luo took charge of the Cape family, it had been a long time since he had such a pitiful and aggrieved expression. An Liny on the bed and panted weakly. ¡°Thene back and see me. I want to see you.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Luo turned around and secretly sniffed. ¡°I¡¯ll be right back.¡±

    Two hourster, An Luo returned to France from Ennd.

    In the innermost ward, An Lin leaned quietly against the head of the bed. Hearing An Luo¡¯s hurried footsteps, An Lin chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±

    An Luo walked towards An Lin in a sterile protective suit. Seeing An Lin¡¯s expression, An Luo frowned. An Lin¡¯s condition looked even worse.

    He gently ced his hand on An Lin¡¯s arm. ¡°Brother, does it hurt more today than yesterday?¡±

    Looking at An Luo¡¯s red eyes, An Lin smiled and shook his head. ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re lying.¡± Tears began to well up in An Luo¡¯s blue eyes. ¡°You¡¯re all lying. Xia Wanyuan ignored me too.¡±

    An Lin wanted to reach out and touch An Luo¡¯s head, but the current him was already so weak that he could not raise his arm at all. He could only look at An Luo gently. ¡°I lied to you because I didn¡¯t want you to be sad. Xia Wanyuan lied to you because she should have her difficulties. Will you me me?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± An Luo shook his head.

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Lin forced a smile. ¡°Then don¡¯t me her.¡±

    An Luo snorted softly. ¡°I don¡¯t mean to me her¡­ I just want to see her.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡±

    He was clearly still filled with anger when he was in Ennd. After saying a few words to An Lin, the anger in An Luo¡¯s heart instantly decreased. He pulled An Lin¡¯s wrist. ¡°Brother, I will definitely save you.¡±

    An Lin smiled, but there was clearly no hope in his eyes.

    Even if a god was here, he would not have any chance. The reason why he could live so well waspletely because of the huge recuperation fees, but it was only limited to being a cripple.

    ¡°Brother, believe me.¡± An Luo held An Lin¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Really.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    An Lin was onlyforting An Luo, but he did not know that An Luo had been running around to save An Lin.

    He tried countless methods but to no avail. In the end, the assistant gave An Luo a suggestion.

    ¡°Master, do you remember the auction in Ennd a few days ago?? The legendary array formation that can change time and space??? I heard that some Chinese are quite mysterious. If we have that, we might be able to¡­¡±

 Chapter 1501 - 1501 Puzzle

    1501 Puzzle

    Hearing his assistant¡¯s words, hesitation shed across An Luo¡¯s eyes.

    Actually, someone had suggested something simr to mystic techniques to An Luo before, but he did not believe this.

    However, now, An Lin¡¯s health was getting worse and worse. An Luo no longer had any scruples. He looked at his assistant. ¡°Then investigate everything about this now and report to me tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Because of an auction, everything seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, there were already undercurrents.

    That night, Jun Shiling stood by the window and quietly looked at the lights outside. Lin Jing stood behind him and reported the situation.

    ¡°CEO Jun, Lin Qingyuan returned to Beijing overnight. He just met that person. The two of them had a private conversation for nearly three hours.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze keptnding on a steeple in the distance.

    ¡°Also, we¡¯ve found the identity of the ck-robed man who keeps appearing.¡±

    Hearing Lin Jing¡¯s words, Jun Shiling finally turned around and gestured for Lin Jing to continue.

    ¡°Last year, the hidden passageway between A World and D World was opened. As you know, there are three continents in A World, and the governor of Hidden Continent has always been the most mysterious. However, we obtained an internal information. The information shows that this governor of Hidden Continent is wearing a ck robe all year round. No one knows his true appearance.¡±

    ¡°How many years?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s only concern was this.

    ¡°Three hundred years.¡± Lin Jing looked up with a solemn expression. ¡°It¡¯s three hundred years. The earliest time the ck-robed man appeared was three hundred years ago, but I can¡¯t be sure if someone changed under that ck robe.¡±

    Lin Jing had been following Jun Shiling. Although Jun Shiling had never mentioned Xia Wanyuan directly, in the past few years, as he gradually gathered data on the Great Xia Dynasty, Lin Jing had gradually understood something. Hence, when he saw the records of the ck-robed man, Lin Jing could not determine if this ck-robed man had existed for more than three hundred years.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Continue investigating.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Go and instruct them to bring forward the time of our return to China. We¡¯ll leave tomorrow morning.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After Lin Jing retreated, Jun Shiling turned around, his gaze still on the steeple in the distance.

    At this moment, at the top of the steeple, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the railing and quietly looked at the stars in the sky.

    Yu Qian had walked up at some point and draped a coat over Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You don¡¯t want to leave??¡±

    ¡°Yu Qian.¡± Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze from the sea of stars and looked at Yu Qian. ¡°What are you after??¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s hand that was putting clothes on Xia Wanyuan paused. ¡°What??¡±

    ¡°What are you after?¡± Xia Wanyuan looked straight at Yu Qian, her cool eyes seeming to see through everything. ¡°You didn¡¯t have to get involved.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°When did you discover it?¡±

    ¡°The second day after we arrived in A World.¡±

    Yu Qian retracted his hand. ¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯re such a smart person. We underestimated you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak again and only looked at Yu Qian quietly.

    Yu Qian looked up at the sea of stars in the sky, his eyes suddenly filled with loneliness. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xia Wanyuan shook her head. ¡°I just feel that some things are about to end, but you don¡¯t have to get involved.¡±

    Yu Qian chuckled, his smile not reaching his eyes. ¡°Are you afraid?¡±

    ¡°What about you?¡± Xia Wanyuan asked Yu Qian.

    ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Yu Qian¡¯s gaze circled the brightest star in the sky. ¡°I hate the unknown, but this time, I¡¯m looking forward to the direction of this chess piece.¡±

 Chapter 1502 The Formation Completed

    The top of the steeple was very quiet, so quiet that one could only hear the soft sound of insects.

    Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian fell silent.

    After some time, the temperature of the night dropped to a level that made one feel a little cold. Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan. "Go in. Sleep with me tonight."

    Xia Wanyuan looked up, confusion shing across her eyes. "What?"

    Yu Qian did not exin further. He only walked to Xia Wanyuan''s side and reached out to hug her.

    Sensing Yu Qian''s approach, Xia Wanyuan''s body stiffened slightly. Just as she was about to push him away, Yu Qian lowered his head slightly and whispered into her ear, "Someone''s filming."

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes. "Mm."

    In this position, Yu Qian brought Xia Wanyuan into the room.

    A small red light flickered in the clouds above the steeple, constantly sending data back.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian hugging in the photo, the ck-robed man sneered. "Such a great love. Help them promote it more, especially send Jun Shiling a copy."

    "Yes."

    The next morning, news about the governor and his wife spread worldwide.

    The photo of the two of them standing on the steeple, side-hugging and looking at the stars became at the top of the trending list.

    On this day, in the Jun Corporation, the employees did not even dare to speak loudly. Even though Jun Shiling had already rified in public that that person was not Xia Wanyuan, everyone had eyes. Everyone knew what Xia Wanyuan was like.

    Now that they were watching Xia Wanyuan and another person show off their love, everyone was sweating in their hearts, afraid that Jun Shiling''s anger would affect them.

    However, to everyone''s surprise, Jun Shiling acted as if nothing had happened and went to work, meetings, and important events as usual.

    Normal people would not mention anything about Xia Wanyuan in front of Jun Shiling, but there were always some people who came forward themselves.

    "CEO Jun, I haven''t seen you in a few days. You seem to have lost weight." At a business banquet, Lin Qingyuan walked over with a wine ss. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were indeed cold.

    Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Lin Qingyuan. "Master Lin."

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s clearly much more gloomy aura, the corners of Lin Qingyuan''s lips curled up slightly. "I went to Ennd a few days ago and happened to meet the governer''s wife She''s quite simr to the former Madam Jun. At first nce, I really thought that Madam Jun had appeared. Speaking of which, I haven''t seen Madam Jun in a long time. I wonder where she is now??"

    As Lin Qingyuan said this, the hall instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other awkwardly and had the same thought. Will the two of them fight here??

    However, facing Lin Qingyuan''s deliberate provocation, Jun Shiling was not as angry as others had imagined. He looked straight at Lin Qingyuan. "Master Lin, you should pay more attention to your own matters. I heard that there have been frequent idents recently."

    Hearing Jun Shiling mention this, Lin Qingyuan''s expression darkened. The Lin family''s main industry was medicine.

    Previously, the Lin family had always upied the core position of China''s medical industry. He had also obtained a lot of resources through his cooperation with Yu Qian.<novelnext></novelnext>

    However, three years ago, Yu Qian had evacuated everything from the Lin family. After losing Yu Qian, their ally, the Lin family had suffered heavy losses.

    This was also the reason why he had specially taken the initiative to look for the ck-robed man after knowing that Yu Qian was from A World and wanted to cooperate with him to deal with Yu Qian.

    The two of them opposed each other and finally parted on bad terms.

    Everyone could only see the two of them fighting openly. They did not realize that in China, the full-scale confrontation between the Jun Corporation and the Lin family had already begun.

    It was getting closer and closer to the first alliance meeting between World A and World D. The various forces who had received the invitation began to move to the meeting venue.

    Xia Wanyuan and Yu Qian also began to move. The night before they left, Yu Qian gave Xia Wanyuan a gift.

    Looking at the bracelet Yu Qian handed her, confusion shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "Why are you giving me this?"

    "Do you hate me?" Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes dark.

    Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

    "I haven''t given you anything. This is for you," Yu Qian said as he took the bracelet out of the jewelry box and put it on Xia Wanyuan''s wrist.

    The white jade bracelet overflowed with light under the light. In a daze, it seemed to be flickering with fluorescent light, but when one looked at it from another angle, there was nothing unusual.

    "Promise me something." Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan. "Can you wear this all the time and take it off a yearter?"

    Looking into Yu Qian''s deep eyes, Xia Wanyuan finally nodded. "Okay."

    The venue of the meeting was on an ind in the middle of the ocean. Around the usually uninhabited ind was arge number of ships and cruise ships.

    At the same time, in the desert far away in Continent F, the workers were finalizing the arrangement of the array.

    "Sect Master, the construction is about to bepleted. What should we do next?"

    A hot wind blew, blowing the ck-robed man''s bandana slightly. Under the bandana, his young eyes were filled with thick darkness.

    "Bury on the spot."

    "Bury... what?" The subordinate did not understand what the ck-robed man meant, but his heart subconsciously turned cold.

    The ck-robed man''s gazended on the workers not far away.

    This array formation covered almost all of Continent F''srgest Taha Desert. Just the local workers working here numbered nearly ten thousand.

    Looking at the workers who were already packing up and preparing to leave with their sries, the corners of the ck-robed man''s lips curled up slightly. He gently pointed at the people not far away.

    "Of course it''s them."

 Chapter 1503 Reluctant

    Following the ck-robed man''s gesture, the subordinate could only see arge number of staff in the desert. At first, he did not understand. "Sect Master, I don''t understand."

    The corners of the ck-robed man''s lips curled up slightly under his mask. "These people, right here."

    The subordinate suddenly looked up. Because of surprise, his voice changed. "What do you mean??"

    The ck-robed man did not answer again and turned to leave. However, his silence was already his answer.

    The subordinate looked up at the crowd not far away. It was clearly close to forty degrees Celsius, but he felt his heart turn cold.

    Their hands were more or less stained with unclean blood, but the people in front of them were not just a few people. There were more than ten thousand of them.

    The subordinate''s legs were a little weak. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After thinking for a long time, he finally went to see the ck-robed man in fear.

    "Sect Master, there are many official surveince points at the edge of this desert. We don''t have a chance to attack. Otherwise¡­"

    Before he could finish speaking, the ck-robed man suddenly sneered. "Come here."

    The subordinate took two steps forward in confusion. "Sect Master, you¡­"

    Before he could finish speaking, a gun muzzle suddenly appeared in the ck-robed man''s sleeve and was aimed straight at his subordinate. Before he could react, the bullet had already pierced through his subordinate.

    Looking at the corpse on the ground, the ck-robed man snorted. "If you don''t follow my rules, this will be the oue."

    Hearing his words, the other subordinates standing not far away hurriedly knelt down. "Sect Master, spare us. We''ll definitely settle the matter for you."

    "No matter what method you use, on the night of the full moon next month, the blood of these ten thousand people has to be poured into the array."

    "Yes." Everyone immediately lowered their heads and did not hesitate.<novelnext></novelnext>

    The ck-robed man waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to leave.

    When the entire room was empty, the ck-robed man carefully examined the pistol in his hand, his eyes dark. "Xia Wanyuan, Xia Dynasty, ha."

    ...

    The alliance was located in the sea far from China. Knowing that Jun Shiling was about to leave again, Little Xiaxia, who had waited so long for him to return, was unhappy.

    "Daddy, you clearly agreed to apany me." Little Xiaxia looked at Jun Shiling unhappily. Her eyes, which were always filled with smiles, were filled with sparkling tears.

    Seeing Little Xiaxia like this, Jun Shiling could not bear it. He gently stroked Little Xiaxia''s hair. "Good girl, don''t cry. After the meeting, I''ll definitelye back and apany you. Don''t you still have your brothers to apany you?"

    Little Xiaxia opened her pure eyes. "Can you reallye back??"

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment, thinking about something, then nodded. "Yes."

    Little Xiaxia was not easy to deceive. The expression on her face became even sadder. "You lied!!! You hesitated."

    Little Xiaxia was too clingy to him, and he did not know when he would be back. Jun Shiling frowned and ced Little Xiaxia''s hand in Xiao Bao''s. "y with Brother first. Daddy has something on."

    With that, before Little Xiaxia could reject him, Jun Shiling strode out of the bedroom.

    ? After walking out the door, Jun Shiling called Lin Jing.

    "Have you found them??"

    They had originally brought Little Xiaxia out of the Wuyi Mountains. She was someone else''s child. Because of Little Xiaxia''s amnesia, Jun Shiling had never told her about her true identity.

 Chapter 1504 Strange

    However, now, Little Xiaxia was bing more and more inseparable from him. Jun Shiling had other ns. He could not leave Little Xiaxia here anymore.

    Now, he felt that he should send Little Xiaxia back to her parents. Perhaps with thepany of her parents, Little Xiaxia would not be too sad.

    "We''ve already found the parents who lost their child in Wuyi Mountain. ording to their description of Young Miss, they should be Young Miss''s biological parents. I''ve already gotten someone to bring them to Beijing."

    "Mm." Little Xiaxia''s suppressed cries came from the bedroom. Jun Shiling''s eyes darkened. "How about this? Bring them over tomorrow. Perhaps she''ll remember something after seeing her biological parents."

    "Okay."

    After hanging up, Jun Shiling returned to the bedroom.

    Seeing Jun Shiling return, obvious joy appeared in Little Xiaxia''s eyes. However, when she thought of how Jun Shiling had not kept his promise and had broken his promise to apany her, Little Xiaxia could not help but be angry. She stood straight by the bed and did not pounce on Jun Shiling as usual.

    Jun Shiling strode towards Little Xiaxia and pulled her into his arms.

    Caught off guard by Jun Shiling, Little Xiaxia struggled symbolically. "You''re annoying, you''re annoying."

    "Daddy isn''t working today. Can I apany you to the yground??"

    Jun Shiling''s words sessfully calmed Little Xiaxia down. She looked at Jun Shiling in a daze. "Really?"

    "Mm."

    "Wow, Daddy, you''re the best!!" Going to the amusement park with Jun Shiling had always been Little Xiaxia''s biggest dream. Now that her dream was about toe true, Little Xiaxia happily threw all her anger to the back of her mind.

    "Let''s go together." Jun Shiling hugged Little Xiaxia and called out to Little Jiajin and Xiao Bao.

    Little Jiajin followed Jun Shiling happily and chatted with Little Xiaxia.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Behind her, Xiao Bao stood quietly. He was not as happy as Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin. Instead, there was some worry in his eyes.

    For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

    He knew that Little Xiaxia liked to y at the yground, and he also knew that Jun Shiling''s original n was to bring Little Xiaxia there in a month.

    But now, Jun Shiling had brought the n forward, and it was the same for thepany. During this period of time, Jun Shiling had taught him all the ns about the Jun Corporation for the next year.

    Xiao Bao had once asked Jun Shiling in confusion, "Isn''t the market changing rapidly? Is there a need to start nning for a yearter now??"

    Jun Shiling''s exnation for this was, "It''s better to be prepared."

    Xiao Bao was originally convinced by Jun Shiling, but at this moment, everything was connected. Xiao Bao felt that something was wrong.

    Jun Shiling''s style was not like this. There must be something I did not know.

    Sensing that Xiao Bao was not following, Jun Shiling turned to look at Xiao Bao. "You''re not going?"

    Xiao Bao shook his head. "Daddy, I still have some homework to do. Go ahead. I don''t want to y."

    Xiao Bao did not go, and Jun Shiling did not force him. He left with Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin.

    Seeing them disappear at the entrance of the manor, Xiao Bao did not return to his bedroom. Instead, he walked all the way to Jun Shiling''s study.

    No one else had entered this study since Xia Wanyuan left. Jun Shiling usually worked inside, and even Xiao Bao was not allowed to enter.

    However, at this moment, Xiao Bao pushed open the door.

 Chapter 1505 Will

    Three years ago, Xiao Bao could also enter this study. At that time, Xia Wanyuan always upied the sofa, Jun Shiling handled work at the side, and Xiao Bao sat on a small custom-made desk to practice calligraphy and painting.

    When he entered the study again, all the decorations were the same as three years ago. Even the position of the stool seemed to not have changed, as if it was just yesterday.

    Xiao Bao''s eyes subconsciously turned sour. He slowly walked to the safe and tried to open it with the few passwords he knew.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were basically unguarded against Xiao Bao. The password to the safe was still the same as three years ago. Xiao Bao only tried once and opened the cab.

    The safe was very big and there were two huge boxes inside. Xiao Bao moved the boxes out and slowly studied the way to open them.

    The box was covered inplicated patterns that looked a little simr to the array formations Xia Wanyuan had taught him. Xiao Bao tried to undo it ording to the principles of the five elements and eight trigrams.

    He swiped here and there and fiddled with it, really making half of the patterns at the mouth of the box.

    However, it was only half of it. No matter what Xiao Bao didter, the patterns on the box were always missing and could not be aplete flower.

    Xiao Bao was so anxious that his face was sweating. He stood up and wanted to find some tools in Jun Shiling''s drawer that could provide hints.

    Xiao Bao flipped through Jun Shiling''s drawer. When he pulled open the bottom drawer, he was immediately rooted to the ground.

    Because it was a will. The signature on the cover was mboyant. It was "Jun Shiling".

    Xiao Bao''s hand trembled. He took out the document and sat on the ground to read it slowly.<novelnext></novelnext>

    This will was signed by Jun Shiling a month ago. It distributed the Jun Corporation and his other personal assets in detail.

    It indicated that after he "left", Xia Wanyuan would inherit the entire Jun Corporation. Xiao Bao and Xiao Jiajin also enjoyed shares, but as Xiao Jiajin''s guardian, Xia Wanyuan could hold Xiao Bao and Xiao Jiajin''s shares on their behalf.

    The will even mentioned Little Xiaxia. Although Little Xiaxia was only someone they had picked up halfway, they had developed feelings for each other during this period of time. Jun Shiling had bought a fund for Little Xiaxia that could support her until she became an adult.

    Xiao Bao quietly flipped through this will, his heart in turmoil.

    He had countless guesses in his heart. What happened to Jun Shiling?? Why did he make this will?? Will Mommye back?

    In the past few years, Jun Shiling had never revealed Xia Wanyuan''s whereabouts to them. However, now that the Jun Corporation belonged to Xia Wanyuan in this will, did that mean that Xia Wanyuan would return??

    Xiao Bao sat on the ground and thought quietly. Unknowingly, a long time passed.

    It was only when the sound of the car returning outside woke Xiao Bao up that he put away all the documents and ced them neatly in the safe before slipping out of the study.

    Downstairs, Little Xiaxia, who had been ying in the yground for a long time, no longer looked sad. She smiled until her dimples appeared. "Daddy, I love you the most!!!"

    Jun Shiling replied softly and stroked Little Xiaxia''s head. Sensing the temperature on her head, Little Xiaxia''s eyes curved into crescents and she took the initiative to hold Jun Shiling''s hand. "Daddy, we still have to go together next time."

    At that moment, Xiao Bao walked downstairs and called out respectfully to Jun Shiling, "Daddy."

 Chapter 1506 Crying Bitterly

    Hearing Xiao Bao''s voice, Jun Shiling looked up and replied. His deep gaze lingered on Xiao Bao for a few seconds, and Xiao Bao''s heart skipped a beat.

    Jun Shiling''s gaze, which seemed to be able to see through everything, swept across Xiao Bao before retracting. He looked at the butler. "Bring the two of them to wash up. I still have something to tell Xia Yin."

    "Yes."

    After the butler left with Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin, Jun Shiling nced at Xiao Bao. "Follow me."

    Xiao Bao knew that his small actions could not be hidden from Jun Shiling at all. With a heavy heart knowing that he was going to be punished, he followed Jun Shiling into the study.

    Watching Jun Shiling walk to the safe, Xiao Bao pursed his lips and stood at the door with his head lowered, waiting for Jun Shiling to scold him.

    "Come here." To Xiao Bao''s surprise, not only did Jun Shiling not scold him, but he also waved at him.

    Xiao Bao walked towards Jun Shiling and stood beside him.

    Jun Shiling pointed at the safe. "You already know the password, so I won''t say anything else."

    With that, Jun Shiling opened the safe and took out two of the boxes. "The password to the boxes is thebination of the three numbers before and after your mother''s birthday. The other is thebination of thest three numbers."

    As the password was entered, the box was opened. Inside were core secrets about the family.

    "These things were left behind a long time ago and are stored here. Only the head of the Jun Corporation cane into contact with them..."

    Jun Shiling patiently told Xiao Bao all sorts of documents about the core secrets. As Xiao Bao listened, tears rolled down his face.

    Seeing that Xiao Bao was about to cry until he could not suppress his voice, Jun Shiling finally stopped and sighed softly.

    Jun Shiling reached out and gently patted Xiao Bao''s shoulder. "Don''t cry."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xiao Bao could not help but hug Jun Shiling. "Daddy, I saw it. In that drawer..."

    Because Xiao Bao was crying too sadly, he could not express the rest of his wordspletely, but Jun Shiling knew very well.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xiao Bao. It was the two menforting each other. He patted Xiao Bao''s back. "Do you remember what Daddy asked you before?? When Mommyes back, you have to help Mommy do the Jun Corporation well, okay?"

    Xiao Bao whimpered on Jun Shiling''s shoulder. He wanted to say something, but he realized that he could not say anything.

    At that moment, in the bedroom next door, Little Jiajin and Little Xiaxia were sitting obediently on the bed. Beside them was a seat reserved for Jun Shiling.

    Little Xiaxia held her face, her bright eyes filled with admiration and love for Jun Shiling. "Brother, Daddy treats us so well."

    Little Jiajin pinched his sister''s face. "Brother treats you very well too."

    "That''s right. Big Brother treats me very well too."

    "..." Second Brother Xiao Jiajin was unhappy. "Oh."

    Sensing Little Jiajin''s unhappiness, Little Xiaxia turned around and kissed him when he was not paying attention. "Second Brother is very good too!!"

    Little Jiajin could not hold back the smile on his lips. "Hmph."

    ? "Brother, Daddy will be with us forever, right? We''ll always be happy." Little Xiaxia blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Little Jiajin expectantly.

    Little Jiajin nodded seriously. "Mm!!! Daddy will be with us forever!!"

 Chapter 1507 Parents

    Little Xiaxia liked Little Jiajin too much, as well as Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling. She hugged her doll and rolled around the bed happily. "I want to eat cake tomorrow. Brother, can you buy it for me?"

    Little Jiajin thought of the remaining bnce in his storage jar and frowned helplessly.

    Originally, with the pocket money given by various parties, he could be considered a small rich man. However, ever since Little Xiaxia came to the manor, Little Jiajin''s pocket money had decreased rapidly.

    It was not that Little Xiaxia had taken the initiative to ask Little Jiajin for something, but that Little Xiaxia was too cute.

    Little Jiajin had always wanted to be a brother who doted on his sister, so he kept buying all sorts of things for Little Xiaxia. As it happened so many times, Little Jiajin was poor.

    He calcted that he still had about a hundred yuan in his storage jar and could barely buy two cakes for Little Xiaxia.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s sparkling eyes, Little Jiajin made up his mind. Money and everything else were worldly possessions. My sister''s happiness was the most important!!

    Thinking of this, Little Jiajin was relieved. He waved his hand. "Okay, I''ll buy it for you tomorrow!!"

    "Brother, you''re the best!!" Little Xiaxia kissed Little Jiajin happily.

    Little Jiajin was happy to receive his sister''s loving kiss.

    Buy, buy, buy!! Buy everything!!!

    The next morning, Little Jiajin took out his pocket money and happily went to buy cake for Little Xiaxia.

    However, when he returned with two strawberry cakes, he saw Little Xiaxia wailing. There were two strangers standing in the living room.

    Little Jiajin walked over in confusion. Seeing Little Jiajin, Little Xiaxia ran towards him sadly. "Brother, I don''t want to leave. Daddy doesn''t want me anymore. Boohoo."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Little Jiajin widened his eyes and hurriedly reached out to pull Little Xiaxia into his arms. "Don''t cry. If something is wrong, tell me. Where are you going?"

    Little Xiaxia sobbed. "Daddy said that they''re my parents and asked me to follow them back to Wuyi Mountain."

    He had been living too happily recently, so much so that Little Jiajin hadpletely forgotten that Little Xiaxia was not his real sister. Little Xiaxia had her biological parents.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia, whose eyes were filled with tears, Little Jiajin hesitated for a moment before pulling her behind him. "Don''t be afraid. I won''t let them take you away."

    Seeing this, the couple standing not far away looked at each other and came forward to speak to Little Xiaxia. "Xiao Die, have you forgotten about Mom and Dad?? Come back with us. Without you, Mom and Dad are about to cry to death."

    The couple''s eyes were swollen and they looked extremely sad. They knelt on the ground and begged Little Jiajin to move away. Little Jiajin had never seen such a scene before and looked at Little Xiaxia at a loss.

    Little Xiaxia had lost her memory, but she had not lost her emotional perception. Looking at the two people who imed to be her parents in front of her, Little Xiaxia''s heart did not fluctuate at all, even though they were crying quite sadly.

    Little Xiaxia grabbed the corner of Little Jiajin''s shirt tightly. "Brother, I don''t want to leave."

    Little Jiajin pursed his lips. "Wait for me. I''ll look for Daddy."

    Little Jiajin walked to the side and called Jun Shiling. "Daddy, where did you go?? Something happened. Come back quickly."

    Jun Shiling was very calm. "What''s wrong?"

    "Someone ising to take my sister away."

 Chapter 1508 Daddy Is Here

    Little Jiajin was so anxious that his childish voice came out, but Jun Shiling was not surprised at all and replied calmly.

    "She''s not your sister to begin with."

    "Daddy??" Little Jiajin''s eyes widened. "But Sister doesn''t want to leave. Can you not send her away? I like this sister."

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. "No."

    Little Jiajin began to cry from grievance. "Daddy, please. Why don''t you leave Sister with us for a while and send her back after a while?"

    "No." Jun Shiling''s attitude was very unyielding. "Stop fooling around and get the butler to send her away."

    With that, Jun Shiling hung up.

    Listening to the beeping sound on the phone and looking at Little Xiaxia, who was looking at him pitifully not far away, Little Jiajin was extremely sad.

    Someone instructed the couple standing at the side. Seeing that Little Jiajin could not pull Jun Shiling back, they were immediately relieved. The two of them stepped forward and pulled Little Xiaxia''s arm. "Come with us, good daughter. Don''t worry, we''ll definitely treat you well."

    The two of them were in a hurry to take Little Xiaxia away and did not notice that their actions had already bruised Little Xiaxia''s arm.

    Little Xiaxia kept struggling. She turned around and cried at Little Jiajin. "Second Brother."

    Little Jiajin stood rooted to the ground, at a loss. He did not want Little Xiaxia to leave, but he knew very well that Little Xiaxia had her original parents. They had no reason to force Little Xiaxia to stay.

    In the Jun Corporation''s office, ording to the n, it should be time for a meeting. However, Jun Shiling had been standing by the window quietly and had no intention of leaving.

    Lin Jing entered from the door. After some consideration, he walked forward and handed the document in his hand to Jun Shiling.

    "CEO Jun."

    Jun Shiling turned to look at the document. "What is this?"

    "It''s a photo of Young Miss when she left the manor. The butler sent it over. Do you want to take a look?"

    Jun Shiling''s eyes narrowed slightly. In the end, he shook his head. "Forget it."

    Lin Jing did not say anything else. Before leaving, he left the document on the table.

    Jun Shiling heard the sound of documents being ced, but he did not turn around. He looked at the sky for a long time, thinking about something.

    At this moment, on the ne from Beijing to Wuyi Mountain, Little Xiaxia was sitting in the first-ss cabin with the couple.

    Compared to Little Xiaxia''s difort and sadness, the couple was very excited. After all, this was their first time sitting in first ss. After lunch, the two of them asked the stewardess for a few more bottles of drinks and drank until they burped.

    After eating and drinking his fill, the man gave the woman a look. "Go coax her. She''s been crying all the way. Why are there so many tears? She''s so annoying. I want to sleep for a while."

    The woman could not be bothered to coax Little Xiaxia. "Aiya, let her cry. She''ll be fine when she''s tired. I want to sleep for a while too."

    With that, the two of them lowered their seats, pulled up the nket, and began to sleep.

    Little Xiaxia was tired and hungry at the side. She was even sadder when she thought of how Jun Shiling did not want her anymore. In addition, she did not like to take nes. At this moment, they encountered a strong airflow and it was bumpy.

    Little Xiaxia had cried too much. Coupled with the bumpy ride, she could not help but vomit on the woman''s nket.

    Piak! With a p, the woman reached out and pped Little Xiaxia.

    Little Xiaxia was stunned by her p and looked at the woman in a daze.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "How annoying. If you cry again, I''ll throw you down." The woman red at Little Xiaxia. "Shut up. Do you think you''re the daughter of the Jun family? Let me tell you, you''re now a grasshopper in my hand. If you cry again, I''ll hit you."

    With that, the woman threw the dirty nket on Little Xiaxia, then pulled the man''s nket over andy down to continue sleeping.

    Her face was burning from the p. Little Xiaxia quietly curled up in the corner and cried. Tears flowed down her arms. She thought aggrievedly, "Daddy, I want to be with you."

    At this moment, in the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling had been standing by the window for four hours. The lights outside the window had already lit up.

    In the quiet street, a high whistle suddenly sounded, pulling Jun Shiling out of his thoughts. He turned around and was about to drink some water when he saw the documents on the table from the corner of his eye.

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. He deliberately ignored the documents and walked to the desk to deal with his work.

    It was alreadyte at night and all the documents had been processed. Jun Shiling stood up and identally touched the cup beside him. The spoon made a crisp sound in the cup, which was especially ear-piercing in the quiet night.

    Jun Shiling looked down and his eyes froze.

    There was a very rough cartoon rabbit on this cup. It was ipatible with the other decorations in the office and was a little cute.

    This was specially made for Jun Shiling by Little Xiaxia. Little Xiaxia liked to stick to Jun Shiling. When Jun Shiling was not at home, Little Xiaxia would tell Jun Shiling whatever she learned from the teacher.

    Little Xiaxia had learned this porcin cup from her teacher. The first thing she did after learning it was to make one for Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling''s gaze lingered on the cup for a long time. In the end, he could not help but walk to the sofa and open the document Lin Jing had left behind. His eyes froze.

    There were a few photos in the document. Little Xiaxia cried into the camera with tears in her eyes and no longer had her usual smile.

    Looking at the bruise on Little Xiaxia''s arm, Jun Shiling frowned and took out his phone to call Lin Jing.

    "Follow me to Wuyi Mountain."

    "Yes."

    The private ne increased its speed to the extreme. When Little Xiaxia''s ne arrived at Wuyishan Airport, Jun Shiling''s private ne happened to arrive at the airport.

    Little Xiaxia had cried all night because she was hungry and tired. Now, she finally had no strength.

    The couple half dragged Little Xiaxia out. "Go back quickly. The Jun family sent us many things. I want to see what they are. I wonder if they can be sold for a good price."

    "Mm, this little girl is too delicate. Why should we bring her back?? It''ll be very difficult to raise her in the future."

    "Aiya, what''s so difficult about it? It''s all because she''s been spoiled. Look, starve her for a few days and she''ll eat everything."

    "That''s true."

    The two of them walked out of the airport as they spoke. However, after taking two steps, footsteps came from behind.

    "Stop right there."

    The couple looked back and their eyes widened. This... Why does this person look so simr to Jun Shiling??

    Jun Shiling nced at the exhausted Little Xiaxia and his expression darkened. "Is this how you treat her?? Since you don''t raise her well, there''s no need to bring her back."

    The couple was frightened by Jun Shiling''s aura and their limbs went limp. However, when they thought of the high bonus given by the person behind them, the woman forced herself to calm down and took out the paternity test report.

    "We''re her parents. How can we harm her??"

 Chapter 1509 Father And Daughter Reunion

    Seeing the paternity test report in the woman''s hand, Jun Shiling''s eyes flickered.

    He got Lin Jing to bring Little Xiaxia''s data to do a paternity test with this couple. In the end, it showed that they were indeed Little Xiaxia''s biological parents. Only then did Jun Shiling agree to them taking Little Xiaxia away.

    However, he did not expect this couple to treat Little Xiaxia like this.

    At that moment, Little Xiaxia was lying in the woman''s arms, as if she had no strength to cry. Jun Shiling took a step forward. "Put her down."

    "No." Panic shed across the woman''s eyes as she hid Little Xiaxia behind her. "CEO Jun, we know you''re a big shot, but big shots have to abide by thew, right??? She''s our daughter. Are you snatching someone else''s child in broad daylight??"

    No matter how exquisite the couple''s acting skills were, any expression was exposed under Jun Shiling''s gaze.

    Jun Shiling noticed the panic in the woman''s eyes. He nced at Lin Jing, who immediately brought people forward to control the couple.

    The woman''s hand went limp, and Little Xiaxia fell straight down from her arms. Jun Shiling caught her steadily before she fell to the ground.

    Only then did Jun Shiling realize that Little Xiaxia was not asleep. She had fainted. Her palm-sized face was pale, and her breathing had be quite weak.

    "To the hospital," Jun Shiling said as he carried Little Xiaxia out.

    The hospital was already prepared and carried Little Xiaxia to the operating theater the moment she was sent there.

    However, the medical facilities in this town were not good, and Shen Xiu was still on his way. The chief surgeon made a mistake in a moment of desperation, causing Little Xiaxia''s wound to bleed profusely.

    There was no blood type that matched Little Xiaxia in the blood bank in this small hospital. The doctor reported the situation to Jun Shiling in time.

    Jun Shiling asked for Little Xiaxia''s blood type and stood up. "I can transfuse blood to her. Take mine."

    "Okay."

    After the problem of blood was resolved, the doctors began to operate in an orderly manner. However, when the blood was transfused into Little Xiaxia''s body, not only did her condition not improve, but it also became worse.

    "No." The experienced doctor instantly sensed that something was wrong. "There''s a problem. Stop immediately."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling sat at the side and waited for the blood transfusion. Seeing the nurse stop the operation, he asked, "What''s wrong??"

    "CEO Jun, this is your biological daughter, right??" The nurse had seen many such situations and determined Jun Shiling and the patient''s situation based on her experience.

    Jun Shiling frowned. "What??"

    "Your daughter really looks like you. I thought you knew that direct rtives can''t transfuse blood to each other."

    The nurse was still talking, but Jun Shiling had already stood up. He strode out of the door and called Lin Jing over. "Go and investigate on the spot."

    "Investigate what?"

    "My rtionship with that child has to be tested anonymously this time."

    "Okay."

    ? In the operating theater, Little Xiaxia''s condition was getting worse and worse. Fortunately, Shen Xiu arrived in time and saved Little Xiaxia from the brink of death.

    At the same time, in the hospital lobby, Lin Jing ced ten test reports in front of Jun Shiling.

    "CEO Jun, these are ten reports. They were all tested anonymously."

    Jun Shiling picked up the report and flipped through it. His eyes froze. He put down one and opened the other.

    Soon, all ten books were opened.

    Thest sentence of every book was the same.

    "After testing, the probability of detecting the rtionship between the father and daughter is 99.99%."

 Chapter 1510 - 1510 Daughter

    1510 Daughter

    Looking at these ten test documents, the usually calm Jun Shiling¡¯s hands actually trembled slightly. He frowned and flipped through the test records again. ¡°These¡­¡±

    The report he had gotten someone to investigate previously clearly showed that he had nothing to do with Little Xiaxia. Although he had always suspected it, many checks showed that he had nothing to do with Little Xiaxia, so he gave up on the idea.

    Lin Jing nodded. ¡°CEO Jun, these documents were sent from different testing institutions in the country. The possibility of error is zero.¡±

    Considering the possibility of being disturbed, Lin Jing specially instructed his subordinates to send the sample to different institutions in the country or even in different ces in the world. He also anonymously provided the sample to ensure that no one could guess the source of the sample and ensure the absolute authenticity of the information.

    Looking at the test report showing his rtionship with Little Xiaxia, Jun Shiling felt his mind tremble. He clenched his fists. ¡°But that report back then¡­¡±

    ¡°I just got someone to investigate. The previous report was tampered with. Actually, Young Miss is not rted to that couple by blood. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s really rted to her.¡±

    Lin Jing was quite surprised by this oue and even felt that it was very dramatic. They had been looking for Little Xiaxia for so many years, but who would have thought that Little Xiaxia would appear in front of Jun Shiling and call him Daddy for so long?

    Lin Jing thought that Jun Shiling would be very happy, but to his surprise, Jun Shiling¡¯s face was expressionless. Lin Jing thought that Jun Shiling still had some concerns. He took a step forward. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Before Lin Jing could finish speaking, Jun Shiling suddenly stood up.

    Watching Jun Shiling leave, a rare stunned expression appeared on Lin Jing¡¯s face, because he saw that Jun Shiling was actually walking with the same hand and leg.

    ...

    Amidst the amusement, Lin Jing¡¯s heart ached. In the past three years, as the closest person to Jun Shiling, Lin Jing knew best how bad Jun Shiling had been in the past few years. Now that he had finally found Little Xiaxia, Lin Jing could imagine Jun Shiling¡¯splicated emotions.

    At this moment, outside the ward, the doctor saw Jun Shiling rushing over and hurriedly weed him. ¡°CEO Jun.¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at the lights in the operating theater. ¡°How is it?¡±

    ¡°Doctor Shen has already gone in. With him around, there will definitely be no problem.¡±

    Lin Jing informed Shen Xiu immediately. Shen Xiu rushed over overnight and was already at the hospital.

    Jun Shiling calmed down a little. He walked to the sofa and sat down. ¡°I¡¯ll wait here.¡±

    In the past few years, Jun Shiling had never rested properly. He only slept three to four hours a day to maintain his basic needs. It was already very tiring.

    Now that Jun Shiling was working hard because of Little Xiaxia, Lin Jing was worried that something might happen to Jun Shiling if this continued. He tried to persuade him. ¡°CEO Jun, why don¡¯t I guard Miss here? Go and rest first.¡±

    Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°No need. Go down first. I¡¯ll guard her myself.¡±

    They waited for five hours. The night passed.

    When the sky was slightly bright, the operating theater door was finally pushed open. Jun Shiling, who had been sitting quietly, stood up and walked towards Shen Xiu. ¡°How is she?¡±

    ...

    Shen Xiu pulled down his mask. ¡°The surgery went smoothly. You can transfer to the ward for further observation.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Shen Xiu. ¡°You¡¯ll have to take care of the future treatment as well.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s what I should do.¡±

    Jun Shiling asked about Little Xiaxia briefly, then strode to the ward beside to see her.

    Little Xiaxia was clearly still lively a day ago, but now, her entire face was pale and she looked extremely weak. Her beautiful eyes were closed and had lost their usual bright light.

    Jun Shiling sat by the bed and looked at Little Xiaxia quietly, his eyes revealing a hint of fatherly love.

    Although he had previously felt that Little Xiaxia was very simr to Xia Wanyuan, the test report showed that the two of them were not rted by blood, so Jun Shiling forcefully suppressed this feeling.

    However, now that he knew that the child in front of him was his and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daughter, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes warmed. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that Little Xiaxia hadpletely inherited Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance.

    Jun Shiling reached out to hold Little Xiaxia¡¯s small hand. Although she was still unconscious, Little Xiaxia seemed to have sensed it. She moved her fingers slightly and held Jun Shiling¡¯s palm.

    Sensing the movement in his palm, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes warmed and he felt his heart soften.

    At this moment, in Beijing, Old Master Jun, who had always been used to sleeping early, was walking around the courtyard anxiously.

    ...

    ¡°Old Master.¡± The butler went forward to persuade him. ¡°Rest early. Young Master has already sent news that Little Miss¡¯s condition is fine. You don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡±

    Old Master Jun sighed deeply. ¡°How can I not be worried?¡±

    Jun Shiling had grown up by his side and he knew Jun Shiling quite well. Jun Shiling had looked normal in the past few years, but he knew how much pain Jun Shiling was in.

    Over the past few days, the bad feeling in Old Master Jun¡¯s heart had be stronger and stronger. He kept feeling that Jun Shiling was doing something behind his back, but he could not guess.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Old Master Jun sighed deeply. ¡°I wonder how my poor great-granddaughter is doing. I¡¯ve never seen her before.¡±

    In the past few years, Old Master Jun had rarely seen Jun Shiling. It was mainly because he could not stand Jun Shiling¡¯s calm expression, which was actually heartbreaking. Hence, although he had heard that Jun Shiling had brought a child back recently, he had never gone to see her.

    What he did not expect was that this child was actually Little Xiaxia, who had disappeared for a few years.

    ¡°Young Master is taking care of Little Miss.¡± The butlerforted Old Master. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± The old master sighed again. ¡°I hope the appearance of this child can stop him from having some crazy thoughts.¡±

    The butler was a little puzzled. ¡°Old Master, what did you say?? What craze?¡±

    Old Master Jun shook his head and did not say anything else. However, there seemed to be more wrinkles on his old face, and he looked much more dejected.

    ...

    The butler did not know what had happened to Old Master, but he knew very well that something big might happen to the Jun family.

    On the other side of Beijing, Lin Qingyuan leaned on the sofa and listened to his subordinate¡¯s report. A cold smile appeared on his face. ¡°She¡¯s really his daughter.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± Lin Qingyuan threw the fish food in his hand into the fish tank. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s a good show to watch.¡±

    ¡°Master, are you still going to the alliance?¡±

    ¡°Yes, why not?¡± A hint of yfulness shed across Lin Qingyuan¡¯s deep eyes. ¡°There¡¯s a good show to watch. Why not?¡±

 Chapter 1511 - 1511 Traveling Together

    1511 Traveling Together

    Although Little Xiaxia¡¯s surgery was very sessful, her brain was a little damaged. Shey in the ward for almost two days and did not wake up.

    During this period, Jun Shiling rejected all his work and took care of Little Xiaxia wholeheartedly. After Little Jiajin and Xiao Bao found out that Little Xiaxia was their biological sister, they mored toe and take care of Little Xiaxia, but Jun Shiling rejected them.

    There were only Jun Shiling and Little Xiaxia in the entire ward. He often sat by the bed. It was obvious that he had been thinking about something the entire day.

    From the first time he saw Little Xiaxia, Jun Shiling had felt that Little Xiaxia looked a little simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s facial features, but the test report at that time dispelled his doubts.

    Until now, when he saw Little Xiaxia lying obediently on the bed, Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze swept across her eyes. He felt that the more he looked at her, the more she looked like Xia Wanyuan.

    The more he looked, the more Jun Shiling doted on Little Xiaxia.

    He felt guilty. When he went to get someone to test his rtionship with Little Xiaxia, he should have paid more attention. That way, Little Xiaxia would not suffer so much.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia, who had been sleeping, Jun Shiling was faintly anxious. ¡°Why isn¡¯t she awake??¡±

    Shen Xiu was very calm. ¡°CEO Jun, as long as she wakes up in a week, there won¡¯t be a problem. This child¡¯s brain is damaged. Back then, theck of oxygen was too serious.¡±

    Hearing Shen Xiu¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened.

    Lin Jing had gone to check the video in the cabin in the past two days. Only then did Jun Shiling know how the couple had treated Little Xiaxia.

    That couple had originally wanted to exchange Little Xiaxia for money when they brought her back, so they did not have any love for Little Xia Xia.

    After sending Little Xiaxia to the ne, Jun Shiling could not bear to see her, so he did not look at her again and did not see that

    actually, the moment he turned around, Little Xiaxia began to cry and wanted to run towards Jun Shiling.

    However, the couple stopped Little Xiaxia very roughly. The woman covered Little Xiaxia¡¯s mouth while the man was in charge of hugging her limbs. The two of them did not cherish Little Xiaxia at all and used all their strength. Little Xiaxia¡¯s wrists were all red.

    Watching Little Xiaxia struggle in the couple¡¯s arms, obvious killing intent shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    In the video after getting on the ne, Little Xiaxia was not cooperative enough on the ne. She did not eat or drink and only cried at the side. The couple was annoyed by the crying. The woman opened her luggage and forcefully stuffed Little Xiaxia into it. In order to sleep quietly, the woman even zipped up her luggage.

    From the video, one could clearly see Little Xiaxia trying to struggle. Small bumps kept bulging on the surface of the luggage, which was Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand moving.

    The box was leather and there was not much usable oxygen in it. Fortunately, the flight from Beijing to Mount Wuyi was not long. If it was anyter, Little Xiaxia would have died in that cramped luggage.

    Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s instantly sinking emotions, Shen Xiu took a step forward. ¡°CEO Jun, don¡¯t worry. She¡¯ll wake up.¡±

    Jun Shiling believed in Shen Xiu¡¯s medical skills. With Shen Xiu¡¯s guarantee, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression softened a little. ¡°Mm.¡±

    As Shen Xiu had said, Little Xiaxia woke up that night.

    At that moment, Jun Shiling was leaning against the bed to take a nap. He, who had been taking care of Little Xiaxia, was still a little weak. He leaned against Little Xiaxia and fell asleep.

    Little Xiaxia opened her eyes and saw the snow-white roof first. She blinked and subconsciously called out, ¡°Mommy.¡±

    Hearing Little Xiaxia¡¯s voice, Jun Shiling instantly opened his eyes. His deep eyes were bloodshot, but they were strangely bright.

    Seeing Jun Shiling, Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise and surprise shed across them. ¡°Daddy!¡±

    It was a blessing in disguise. Back then, Little Xiaxia had lost her memories of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling because of the intense impact. Now, because of theck of oxygen, she had unexpectedly recovered her previous memories after the surgery.

    Although Jun Shiling¡¯s side profile looked very haggard, Little Xiaxia could still recognize at a nce that this person was the father Xia Wanyuan often drew for her.

    Previously, when she came back with Jun Shiling, Little Xiaxia often called him Daddy, but at that time, she called him Daddy because she felt that Jun Shiling treated her well.

    It was different when she called him Daddy now. Now, it was because Little Xiaxia remembered that the man who treated her especially well and doted on her was the biological father she had been looking for.

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he reached out to hold Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand. ¡°Good girl, you¡¯re awake.¡±

    The next second, Little Xiaxia pursed her lips. She recalled the scene of her being bullied in the cabin. Little Xiaxia¡¯s big tears fell onto the pillow. ¡°Daddy is a bad person. You don¡¯t want me. I want to tell Mommy.¡±

    Jun Shiling subconsciouslyforted Little Xiaxia. He lowered his head and gently kissed her cheek. ¡°No, not anymore. You¡¯re my daughter. I won¡¯t let anyone take you away.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± The tears on Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyshes hung on them. She looked at Jun Shiling in a daze, her eyes hesitant, not knowing if she should believe Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Mm, really.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°I promise.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Little Xiaxia was instantly happy. Her tear-filled eyes curved up slightly, and the moon rose from them with a jumping light.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia¡¯s happy expression, Jun Shiling smiled. However, in just a few seconds, Jun Shiling¡¯s expression changed.

    ¡°You just said, tell Mommy? Do you know who your mother is?¡±

    Little Xiaxia smiled until her dimples appeared. ¡°My mother is Xia Wanyuan. My mother is the most beautiful in the world!!¡±

    Jun Shiling held Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand and paused. ¡°You remember??¡±

    Little Xiaxia nodded. ¡°Mm!! Daddy, you¡¯re my Daddy.¡±

    A smile appeared on Jun Shiling¡¯s face. ¡°Mm, I am.¡±

    The feeling of treating Jun Shiling as her father before waspletely different from knowing that Jun Shiling was her father now. Little Xiaxia waved at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, hug me.¡±

    Jun Shiling reached out and pulled Little Xiaxia into his arms. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    Outside the ward, Bo Xiao, who had rushed over after receiving the news, saw the scene in the ward and his eyes turned slightly red.

    After a while, he turned around and called An Rao.

    ¡°Baby, Jun Shiling is going to the alliance meeting in two days¡­ I¡­¡±

    Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, An Rao interrupted him. ¡°Go ahead.¡±

 Chapter 1512 - 1512 Heartless

    1512 Heartless

    Bo Xiao wanted to exin to An Rao, but before he could say anything, he fell silent again.

    Actually, there was no need for him to say anything. The two of them had already understood everything. In the past few years, Jun Shiling was upset, and so were they. Now that Jun Shiling had something on, Bo Xiao would definitely help him.

    After a while, Bo Xiao only said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    In the eyes of outsiders, Bo Xiao was a high and mighty official. An Rao had climbed up the socialdder.

    However, Bo Xiao knew very well that An Rao was the one who had given the most in their marriage.

    On the other end of the line, An Rao was quite calm. She stroked Xiao Qingli¡¯s head. ¡°Yuan Yuan has been missing for the past few years. Actually, I¡¯m very sad too. If only you could help CEO Jun bring her back.¡±

    ¡°But¡­¡± Although Jun Shiling had not revealed many things to the outside world, Bo Xiao had worked with him for many years and could naturally tell something from Jun Shiling¡¯s actions. Bo Xiao was not confident about this trip.

    Bo Xiao had just said something when An Rao understood what he meant. ¡°I know. Go ahead. Don¡¯t worry about the family.¡±

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s words, Bo Xiao¡¯s heart warmed. ¡°An Rao, thank you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you very much too.¡± An Rao had a smile on her face. ¡°Really.¡±

    In her pale life, Bo Xiao was her salvation. When Bo Xiao needed her, she could also be hisst support.

    Bo Xiao spoke to An Rao for a while more. Just as he hung up, the ward door opened and Jun Shiling walked out.

    Bo Xiao stood up and walked towards Jun Shiling. ¡°How¡¯s her condition?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s already stable.¡± Jun Shiling pinched the space between his tired eyebrows. ¡°Why are you here too?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re treating me like an outsider.¡± Bo Xiao looked into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you need me for anything, just say it. Why are you being so polite to me?¡±

    Jun Shiling looked back at the ward, then turned to walk out. ¡°Come out and let¡¯s talk.¡±

    Bo Xiao followed Jun Shiling into the garden. It was already the end of spring, and the fallen flowers had withered on the ground, looking very bleak.

    Jun Shiling turned to look at Bo Xiao. ¡°You took a long leave?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao nodded.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes narrowed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go wherever you go.¡± Bo Xiao looked straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°There¡¯s no need to persuade me. I¡¯ve already decided.¡±

    Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. In the end, he did not say anything and only reached out to pat Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder.

    At this moment, in Continent F, Chu Man was sitting on the sofa with a red wine ss in her hand. She quietly looked at Xia Wei, who was packing his things not far away, and her gaze changed.

    ¡°Xia Wei.¡± After some time, Chu Man finally could not help but call out to Xia Wei.

    Xia Wei turned around. The usual gentleness between his eyebrows was gone, and there was a depth that Chu Man could not understand.

    However, this depth was more attractive than gentleness. Looking at Xia Wei like this, for some reason, Chu Man felt helpless.

    Even though in everyone¡¯s hearts, Xia Wei was her subordinate, only Chu Man knew that the distance between her and Xia Wei was actually very far, till the extent that she could not approach him.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xia Wei had lost some of his usual gentleness and vaguely had the aura of a supreme being. The sharpness in his eyes made one not dare to look straight at him.

    ¡°Are you going to look for Xia Wanyuan?¡± Chu Man finally spoke,pletely opening the window between her and Xia Wei.

    Xia Wei frowned. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°You like her? You like her so much that you know that this meeting will be a narrow escape, but you still want to look for her?¡±

    To the outside world, World A and World D imed to have an alliance meeting, but almost everyone present knew that this meeting was the only contact between World A and World D in so many years. The danger was unpredictable, and no one knew what the final oue of the negotiation would be.

    Furthermore, as one of the two parties who had initiated the meeting, everyone knew about his entanglement with Xia Wanyuan. They really did not know what Jun Shiling would do in this meeting.

    Xia Wei could clearly refute, but he did not. He lowered his head slightly. ¡°Chu Man, you crossed the line.¡±

    This was the first time Xia Wei had called her name so directly with a condescending tone. Chu Man felt a little sad.

    ¡°Ha, yes, I crossed the line. I shouldn¡¯t have picked you up from the desert back then.¡±

    Xia Wei lowered his head, his expression unclear. ¡°No matter what, thank you for saving me back then.¡±

    He was so calm again and had such a calm expression. Chu Man hated Xia Wei to the core.

    She raised her hand and drank the red wine in her ss in one gulp. Then, she walked forward and nted a kiss on Xia Wei¡¯s lips.

    Seeing this, the surrounding subordinates immediately left the room.

    Chu Man was called a fiery rose blooming in the desert. Her loving eyes had a proud dominance and a hint of beauty. No man could resist such temptation.

    At this moment, Chu Man ced her hands on Xia Wei¡¯s shoulders. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shocking despair and a rare hint of vulnerability.

    Any characteristics a woman like Chu Man had were attractive enough. Now, that vulnerability entuated her, making her have aplicated charm.

    Xia Wei¡¯s pupils constricted for a moment. Chu Man noticed and narrowed her eyes. ¡°Are you a man?¡±

    Xia Wei was not angered by her. He replied calmly, ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Why can¡¯t I tell?¡± Chu Man snorted coldly. ¡°I¡¯m already standing in front of you like this, but you don¡¯t react at all. You still say you¡¯re a man?¡±

    Xia Wei reached out and pulled Chu Man¡¯s hand away from his shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Go and rest.¡±

    Chu Man had already torn apart all her face and taken those 99 steps towards Xia Wei tonight. She did not expect that there was only onest step left, and Xia Wei was unwilling to approach her.

    Chu Man clenched her fists. ¡°Am I so annoying??¡±

    Xia Wei took a step back and stood a distance away from Chu Man. ¡°I don¡¯t hate you. Don¡¯t have any expectations for me. We won¡¯t have a future.¡±

    ¡°Ha.¡± Chu Man sneered. ¡°Future? The future I, Chu Man, want is in my own hands. What right do others have to tell me that there¡¯s no future?¡±

    Looking at the arrogant and confident Chu Man, Xia Wei shook his head slightly. ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand?¡± Chu Man suddenly raised her voice. ¡°Then did you tell me?? Ask yourself honestly. In the past three years, when have you taken off your mask? Xia Wei, you don¡¯t have a heart.¡±

    ...

 Chapter 1513 - 1513 Farewell

    1513 Farewell

    Hearing Chu Man¡¯s usation, Xia Wei did not retort.

    He was not a modern person and did not want to reveal it to Chu Man.

    As an emperor, he actually had sharper senses than ordinary people. However, because he wanted to be an emperor, he suppressed all his emotions and desires.

    It was already very cruel for Chu Man to know that he was destined to leave. If Chu Man knew that the two of them were actually not from the same era, it might be even more cruel.

    Seeing that Xia Wei had been silent, Chu Man reached out and grabbed Xia Wei¡¯s wrist. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Are you guilty or are you already heartless to this extent?? Do you not care what I do?? Say something.¡±

    Xia Wei was silent for a moment before looking at Chu Man. Under Chu Man¡¯s stunned gaze, he lowered his head and gently kissed Chu Man¡¯s forehead.

    That gentle kiss was slightly wet, as if a drizzle had finallynded on the swaying petals. It slowly whispered between the fog and bloom.

    It was as if there were countless thoughts that could not be said, or as if someone was whispering. What filled the thick fog was a secret that had been developed from the depths of time.

    All the anger in Chu Man¡¯s heart seemed to have been extinguished by a basin of cold water. She looked at Xia Wei in a daze. ¡°What are you doing??¡±

    Xia Wei did not say anything else. He kissed her and stood up straight, looking straight into Chu Man¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Xia Man, I do have a heart.¡±

    At this moment, the fake gentleness in Xia Wei¡¯s eyes dissipated, and the fog dissipated. For the first time, Chu Man could see the emotions in his eyes so clearly.

    Chu Man was stunned.

    The corners of Xia Wei¡¯s lips curled up as he smiled at Chu Man. ¡°However, I can only tell you that in my heart, Xia Wanyuan is irreceable. She¡¯s ranked first.¡±

    With that, Xia Wei turned and left.

    Watching Xia Wei leave, Chu Man felt a rare sense of helplessness.

    She felt that Xia Wei had personally poured a basin of hot water into her heart. Before her heart warmed, Xia Wei poured another basin of cold water down her throat.

    What did Xia Wei mean? What was his rtionship with Xia Wanyuan??

    At this moment, the subordinate walked in. ¡°Boss, it¡¯s Old Master Chu¡¯s birthday in two days. Everything is ready. When are you going back?¡±

    From the moment Chu Man and her mother were chased out of the Chu family, everything Chu Man did was to return to the Chu family to take revenge on them, in order to prove to the Chu family that she, Chu Man, was not inferior to Chu Yi and clear her mother¡¯s name.

    However, at this moment, Chu Man was clearly only a step away from returning to the Chu family, but she hesitated. She looked at her subordinate. ¡°When is Xia Wei preparing to leave?¡±

    ¡°Mr. Xia is leaving tomorrow.¡±

    Chu Man pondered for a moment. ¡°We¡¯re not going to the Chu family anymore. Let¡¯s leave with Xia Wei.¡±

    The subordinate was stunned for a moment before nodding. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Chu Man had expanded so quickly in Continent F in the past few years because she wanted to throw those past humiliations in front of Old Master Chu on his birthday and tell him.

    Back then, his decision to chase Chu Man and her biological mother out was wrong. Even if she was a girl, she could bear the burden.

    However, now, for Xia Wei, Chu Man hadpletely given up on returning to the Chu family¡¯s banquet. The subordinate secretly sighed in his heart. I should have expected this long ago.

    After the subordinate left, Chu Man sat on the sofa and quietly finished the entire bottle of wine. No matter what Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship was, I had to get to the bottom of it.

    It was not her style to give up so unclearly.

    At this moment, a ne was heading to Beijing from Wuyi Mountain.

    Although she was still afraid of the ne, she stayed in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms the entire time. Not only was Little Xiaxia not afraid, but she was also a little curious and excited.

    ¡°Daddy, are those clouds outside??¡± Little Xiaxia leaned happily against the window and looked curiously at the world outside.

    ¡°Mm, it¡¯s clouds.¡±

    ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat small biscuits.¡±

    ¡°Here.¡± Jun Shiling opened a bag of small biscuits and patiently fed Little Xiaxia.

    Looking at Jun Shiling, who agreed to everything, Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyes sparkled. However, in the next second, she was a little sad.

    Jun Shiling stroked her hair. ¡°What¡¯s wrong??¡±

    Little Xiaxia raised her hand and wiped her tears. ¡°I wonder how Mommy and Uncle Yu are.¡±

    Hearing Little Xiaxia¡¯s words, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Does your Uncle Yu treat you very well?¡±

    Little Xiaxia nodded. ¡°Mm, Uncle Yu treats me especially well, just like you, Daddy.¡±

    With that, Little Xiaxia realized that something was wrong. She nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t be sad. What I mean is that Uncle Yu treats me very well, but I don¡¯t treat him as my own father. Mommy showed me your photo when I was young. I know you¡¯re my father.¡±

    Seeing Little Xiaxia hurriedly exin as she was afraid that he would misunderstand, Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered.

    She definitely felt ufortable, but Xia Wanyuan had taught Little Xiaxia very well.

    Jun Shiling smiled at Little Xiaxia. ¡°I know.¡±

    Little Xiaxia hooked Jun Shiling¡¯s hand with her little finger. ¡°Daddy, I like you too much!!! When will Mommye back?? Mommy misses you too.¡±

    Jun Shiling held Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Little Xiaxia looked into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes in surprise. ¡°Then after our family reunites, can I visit Uncle Yu more? I think Uncle Yu is quite pitiful.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Wow, Daddy, you¡¯re the best!!¡± Little Xiaxia hugged Jun Shiling happily.

    My mother was right. I have the best father in the world!!!

    The ne quicklynded at the Beijing airport. Jun Shiling brought Little Xiaxia back to the manor.

    At the entrance of the manor, An Rao was waiting for them with the three children. Jun Shiling handed Little Xiaxia¡¯s hand to An Rao. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± An Rao nced at Bo Xiao, who was behind Jun Shiling, and smiled at him. Then, she looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun, please take care of our Bo Xiao.¡±

    Bo Xiao blinked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when Ie back, I still want a second child.¡±

    ...

    An Rao¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±

    Bo Xiao became serious. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re leaving. Take good care of yourself.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    Little Xiaxia was held by An Rao and looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°Daddy?? Where are you going??¡±

    Jun Shiling squatted down and stroked Little Xiaxia¡¯s head. ¡°Daddy has something on and has to leave for a while. Mommy will be back soon. Wait obediently at home.¡±

    Hearing that Xia Wanyuan wasing back, Little Xiaxia widened her eyes happily. ¡°Okay!¡±

 Chapter 1514 Priest Zhang

    After speaking to Little Xiaxia, Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao, who was standing at the side. "I''ll leave your younger siblings to you."

    He had already said everything he needed to say to Xiao Bao that night. Xiao Bao was a very smart child. Jun Shiling knew that Xiao Bao knew what to do.

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan left, Xiao Bao had not cried in a long time. However, at this moment, Xiao Bao''s eyes were filled with tears. He tried his best to hold them in. "I know, Daddy. You have to return safely with Mommy."

    Jun Shiling reached out and patted Xiao Bao''s shoulder. "Good boy."

    On the other hand, Bo Xiao looked at An Rao, whose eyes were red, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "Stop crying. If you cry again, I really won''t be able to leave."

    An Rao had always loved to cry. When she cried, Bo Xiao had never been able to resist.

    "It''s even better if you don''t leave," An Rao said, but in fact, she stopped crying and wiped her tears. "You promised mest time that you would bring me out to y. Do you remember?"

    After Bo Xiao and An Rao got married, because of the nature of Bo Xiao''s work, the two of them had never held a honeymoon trip. Bo Xiao had once promised An Rao that when he had time, he would bring An Rao to the beautiful ces Bo Xiao had once been.

    Unfortunately, ever since the two of them got married, all sorts of things had piled up, causing them to have no time to go out at all. Bo Xiao''s previous promise became distant.

    "Of course I remember." A hint of guilt shed across Bo Xiao''s eyes. He stroked An Rao''s head. "I''m sorry, if not for me."

    Bo Xiao had always felt very guilty towards An Rao. Because of the nature of his work, An Rao had to bear more responsibility alone. He did not spend much time at home, and Xiao Qingli was mostly brought up by An Rao alone.

    Because of his position, even An Rao was protected and restricted. In the past, An Rao liked to walk around so much, but now, she was trapped in the few hundred square meters of their house.

    An Rao knew what Bo Xiao was going to say. She covered Bo Xiao''s mouth in advance. "Don''t say anything to let me down again. You clearly know that I''m lucky to be able to marry you."

    The happiest thing about living in this world was not how much money one had.

    Furthermore, to An Rao, she did notck money or fame. What shecked the most was someone who could stand by her side and apany her no matter where or when.

    And Bo Xiao was that person. She was even 100% sure that Bo Xiao would protect her with his life. It was a blessing for her to meet such a person.

    Looking at An Rao''s beautiful eyes, a smile appeared in Bo Xiao''s eyes. "Wait for me to return."

    "Okay." An Rao nodded.

    Seeing that An Rao''s eyes were starting to turn red again, Bo Xiao turned around and isted himself from everyone''s gazes. Then, he pulled An Rao into his arms and transmitted his firm love to her.

    There was no need to say anything else. Jun Shiling nced at Bo Xiao, who had already bade farewell to An Rao. "Let''s go."

    "Okay."

    Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao got into the car together and drove towards the Jun family''s courtyard.

    At the entrance of the manor, An Rao held Xiao Bao''s hand. "Baby, Auntie An Rao will definitely take good care of you during this period of time."

    Xiao Bao nodded at An Rao. "Auntie An Rao, do you think Mommy wille back?? Will Daddye back safely??"

    An Rao nodded heavily. "Of course!!! The two of them wille back safely. Don''t worry, Auntie An Rao can predict it."

    The two of them chatted as usual, but they were not fools. Instead of saying this to each other, it was more likeforting themselves.<novelnext></novelnext>

    After An Rao finished speaking, Xiao Bao smiled at her. "Auntie An Rao, I believe you."

    Looking at Xiao Bao, who was so young but had to carry a heavy burden, An Rao''s heart ached. She reached out and stroked Xiao Bao''s head. "Good child, our Xiao Bao is the most obedient."

    Lying in An Rao''s arms, Xiao Bao nced in the direction Jun Shiling had left. At that moment, there was no trace of the car on that road.

    It was already midsummer. Uncle Liu had persuaded him many times, but Old Master Jun was unwilling to leave the sun.

    "Old Master, what are you waiting for??" Uncle Liu followed Old Master Jun''s gaze and looked at the entrance of the alley. The entrance of the alley in the afternoon was silent. Other than the chirping of cicadas, there was nothing else.

    Old Master Jun was an old man in his seventies or eighties after all. After being under the sun for a while, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

    However, he could not care less at this moment. He stared intently at the alley not far away, very certain that someone would definitelye.

    Seeing that he could not persuade Old Master, Uncle Liu walked into the house and made a cup of cold tea for him. When he came out with the tea, he happened to see Jun Shiling walking towards the courtyard.

    Uncle Liu was about to step forward when he saw Jun Shiling kneel down to Old Master Jun. Uncle Liu stopped in his tracks.

    Looking at Jun Shiling kneeling in front of him, Old Master Jun sighed, as if he had instantly aged ten years. "Ah Ling, you''re my only grandson."

    He had raised this child single-handedly. Jun Shiling was smart, decisive, and the most outstanding child in his heart.

    "Grandpa, I''m sorry." Jun Shiling lowered his head. "I''m not asking for your forgiveness."

    "Then why are you begging?" In the end, Old Master Jun could not stand the sun. He supported himself against the wall and sighed deeply.

    "I beg you, don''t me Xia Wanyuan." Jun Shiling looked up and looked at Old Master Jun seriously. "If shees back."

    When Jun Shiling said this, Old Master Jun''s heart turned cold. He looked deeply into Jun Shiling''s eyes. After a while, he finally nodded. "I''ve never med her. She''s also my proudest granddaughter-inw."

    After receiving Old Master Jun''s promise, Jun Shiling knelt on the ground and gave Old Master three kowtows. This was a greeting before he bade farewell.

    Old Master Jun did not move. He stood there and epted Jun Shiling''s three kowtows.

    Seeing that the time was gradually approaching, Jun Shiling stood up from the ground. "Grandpa, take care."

    Tears shed in Old Master Jun''s eyes. He walked forward and patted Jun Shiling''s shoulder. "You have toe back safely."

    Jun Shiling nodded. "I''ll remember."

    With that, Jun Shiling was about to leave when a panting person in a Daoist robe ran over from the alley.

    That person''s hair and beard were all white, but his face was rosy and he looked a little immortal.

    Seeing the person, Old Master Jun''s eyes lit up and he quickly weed him. "Priest Zhang, why are you here?? Didn''t you say that you wanted to travel back then?? I''ve been wanting to look for you for the past few years, but I haven''t been able to find you."

    ...-

 Chapter 1515 - 1515 Brother-in-law

    1515 Brother-inw

    Priest Zhang had probably rushed here. Now, he was panting, his lips were dry, and his white hair was a little messy.

    ¡°Can you give me a sip of tea first?¡± Priest Zhang was extremely tired. He rolled up his sleeves and casually wiped the sweat off his face.

    Only then did Uncle Liu react and hurriedly walk forward with the cold tea. ¡°Priest Zhang, please enjoy.¡±

    Priest Zhang picked up the teapot and suddenly drank more than half of the tea.

    !!

    Looking at Priest Zhang, who had rushed over, Old Master Jun had many questions. When one was old, they would always be a little superstitious. Now that Priest Zhang was here, Old Master Jun wanted Priest Zhang to help read Jun Shiling¡¯s fortune and see if his trip was good or bad.

    Jun Shiling stood at the side and looked at the time. He gave Bo Xiao a look and prepared to leave first.

    However, before he could turn around, Priest Zhang took out a horsetail whisk from somewhere and stopped him.

    ¡°Fated master, please wait.¡±

    Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks and looked at Priest Zhang. Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes.

    The person in front of him had an extraordinary wisdom and rity in his eyes, which calmed Jun Shiling¡¯s chaotic mood a little. ¡°Priest Zhang, what can I do for you?¡±

    ¡°CEO Jun, do you still remember me?¡± Priest Zhang retracted his horsetail whisk. ¡°A few years ago, I was the one who tied you and your wife together.¡±

    Jun Shiling had never nned to get married. At that time, the Jun family was expanding their territory. After Jun Shiling was set up by Xia Wanyuan, he was furious. Even Old Master Jun could not shake Jun Shiling¡¯s thoughts.

    At that time, Priest Zhang happened to wander here. His eyes lit up when he nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo. From Xia Wanyuan¡¯s physiognomy, there was such a person who could extend the entire Jun family for many generations. She and Jun Shiling were destined to be together.

    However, before any perfection, one had to experience a tribtion. There was also a tribtion between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. This tribtion might even endanger Jun Shiling¡¯s life, but as long as they could sessfully survive this tribtion, the two of them woulde back and walk through the rest of their lives together.

    Hence, at that time, Priest Zhang found Jun Shiling and discussed with him for a long time. Finally, he convinced Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to register their marriage and sessfully made Xia Wanyuan the wife of the Jun family.

    Jun Shiling did not know what he meant now and only nodded calmly. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Fated Master, you¡¯re going to the meeting and I don¡¯t have much to give you. This is for you. I hope you can carry it with you.¡± With that, Priest Zhang took out a very ordinary ck stone from his sleeve.

    This stone looked very ordinary, but it was smooth and ck without any impurities. It was impossible to tell what kind of stone it was.

    asionally, sunlight would refract on it, but it could not reflect any light. This stone was like a calm sea that could amodate everything in the world.

    ncing at the ck stone, confusion shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t care what I mean.¡± Priest Zhang smiled with a deep look in his eyes. ¡°Just take it, Fate Master.¡±

    ¡°Since Priest Zhang asked you to take it, he definitely won¡¯t harm you.¡± Old Master Jun believed in Priest Zhang very much. He took the stone and stuffed it into Jun Shiling¡¯s hand.

    This stone looked ordinary, but it had a natural warmth when he held it. Jun Shiling subconsciously held the stone tightly and nodded slightly at Priest Zhang. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling turned to leave with Bo Xiao.

    Looking at Jun Shiling¡¯s departing figure, Old Master Jun subconsciously sighed. ¡°Look at this child. Sigh, Priest Zhang, I know you have a great divine power. I want to ask you, can my grandson return safely??¡±

    Priest Zhang stroked his long beard and shook his head. ¡°Some fates are fixed, and some fates can be changed. What happens in the future depends on how people fight the heavens.¡±

    Hearing Priest Zhang¡¯s words, Old Master Jun¡¯s heart was even more chaotic. He pressed his palms together and prayed that Jun Shiling could return safely with Xia Wanyuan.

    Watching Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao leave, Priest Zhang silently divined, but the result of the hexagram was blurry.

    Priest Zhang shook his head. Forget it, forget it. Some things have huge variables to begin with. It¡¯s fine if I can¡¯t calcte it.

    As Old Master Jun prayed, he secretly wiped his tears.

    Ever since Jun Shiling¡¯s parents passed away, he, Jun Shiling, had be his only family in the world and the continuation of his life and hope.

    However, now, as a white-haired man, he watched this ck-haired man leave him step by step. Old Master Jun had an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

    However, he knew how important Xia Wanyuan was to Jun Shiling. It was impossible for him to stop Jun Shiling.

    ¡°Old Master.¡± Seeing Old Master Jun¡¯s sorrowful expression, Priest Zhang could not bear it. ¡°At your age, the only thing you can do is take good care of your health and grow up with your great-grandchildren. You can¡¯t control the matters of the younger generation even if you want to. Why don¡¯t you rx?¡±

    Old Master Jun nodded. ¡°Priest Zhang, you¡¯re right. It¡¯s not easy for you toe here. I¡¯ll get someone to prepare food. Stay here for a few more days before leaving?¡±

    However, Priest Zhang swept his horsetail whisk and shook his head. ¡°I still have something to do. I appreciate Old Master¡¯s kindness. See you again if fate allows it.¡±

    With that, Priest Zhang turned to leave. Old Master Jun could not stop him even if he wanted to.

    Furthermore, Priest Zhang seemed to be walking forward steadily, but for some reason, he had disappeared into the alley in an instant. While Old Master Jun was in a daze, there was no trace of anyone in the entire alley, as if Priest Zhang had never appeared.

    On the ne from Beijing to abroad, Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao were ying chess when Jun Shiling defeated them again. Bo Xiao smiled and begged for mercy.

    ¡°You¡¯re too amazing. I¡¯m not your match.¡±

    Jun Shiling retracted his hand expressionlessly. In the face of countless challenges, he had long trained his willpower to remain unmoved no matter what was ahead.

    Seeing that their chess game was over, Lin Jing stepped forward with the document. ¡°CEO Jun, we realized that there¡¯s someone beside Chu Man. She looks very much like Emperor Xia Yuan, who disappeared from Chu Yi back then.

    Jun Shiling looked up and took the document from Lin Jing. Inside was a blurry photo, but the strong pressure was transmitted through the photo.

    There was no need to look at his facial features. Jun Shiling was almost instantly certain that this person was Emperor Xia Yuan, who had mysteriously disappeared back then.

    He revived??

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered. He looked at the photo quietly for a while, then looked at Lin Jing. ¡°Check Chu Man and the rest¡¯s route. Let¡¯s go and see them.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­

 Chapter 1516 - 1516 The Truth

    1516 The Truth

    On the vast sea, a huge ship was moving forward through the wind. Xia Wei leaned on the deck and held his heart.

    The huge wave mixed with the cold wind pped Xia Wei¡¯s face. However, at this moment, he could not feel the bone-chilling coldness on his face at all, becausepared to the pain in his heart, everything was so small.

    Xia Wei felt as if thousands of insects were constantly biting him in his heart, sucking the blood flowing in his heart bit by bit.

    Xia Wei pulled open his clothes and took a look. The area covered by the nine-pointed star was gettingrger andrger, almost spreading throughout his heart. His entire heart seemed a little dark and heavy under such a nine-pointed star, looking very terrifying.

    !!

    Xia Wei calcted the time. It would be soon.

    ¡°Mr. Xia.¡± His subordinate¡¯s footsteps came from behind.

    Xia Wei removed his hand and buttoned his cor. ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Someone has been following us. It looks like Miss Chu,¡± the subordinate reported as he pointed not far away.

    On the horizon, one could clearly see a small ck dot in the distance. That was the ship Chu Man was on.

    Hearing his subordinate¡¯s words, Xia Wei¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Ignore her. Let her follow.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The ship behind him gradually increased its speed and caught up. Xia Wei got someone to temporarily slow down and build a wooden bridge in the middle.

    Chu Man walked over from the other side. Xia Wei stood at the bridgehead and waited for Chu Man.

    The waves on the sea suddenly rose and fell, causing Chu Man to stagger. Xia Wei reached out and pulled her over.

    Chu Man leaned into Xia Wei¡¯s arms, her eyshes trembling gently. Her hand subconsciously leaned on Xia Wei¡¯s chest, causing Xia Wei¡¯s body to stiffen.

    Chu Man looked up and met Xia Wei¡¯s deep gaze. In fact, she had always wanted to say that although Xia Wei¡¯s elegant and gentle appearance from before was handsome enough, what really attracted Chu Man was his unfathomable appearance.

    Chu Man was about to say something when Xia Wei grabbed her wrist and pushed her away from him.

    Sensing Xia Wei¡¯s deliberate distance, Chu Man¡¯s heart turned cold. She followed Xia Wei¡¯s actions and stood firm. She tidied her hair. ¡°There¡¯s no need to think too much. I¡¯m just attending the meeting and going the same way as you.¡±

    Xia Wei did not speak and turned to leave.

    Looking at Xia Wei¡¯s gradually disappearing figure, Chu Man subconsciously bit her lower lip. ¡°Damn it.¡±

    I think I¡¯m crazy. When had I, Chu Man, ever followed a man so humbly? However, I could not help but want to approach Xia Wei.

    ¡°Boss, Mr. Xia is disrespectful to you. Do you need me?¡± The subordinate sensed Chu Man¡¯s anger and walked forward tactfully, but he received a cold nce from Chu Man.

    ¡°Who asked you to be nosy? Get lost.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    After the subordinate left, only Chu Man was left on the deck. She stood quietly for a while and was about to go in and ask Xia Wei when a strange sound suddenly sounded not far away.

    Chu Man looked up. A helicopter was slowly approaching.

    Chu Man narrowed her eyes slightly and quietly waited for the ne tond. Soon, Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao walked out of the helicopter.

    Seeing Jun Shiling, Chu Man¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°CEO Jun, you have much interest. Why are you in the mood toe here?¡±

    ¡°Miss Chu.¡± Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Chu Man. ¡°I¡¯m here to see a friend.¡±

    ¡°Friends?¡± Chu Man frowned slightly. ¡°I don¡¯t think CEO Jun has any friends here.¡±

    Before Jun Shiling could speak, Xia Wei walked out of the cabin. He nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°CEO Jun is looking for me.¡±

    Chu Man knew Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rtionship. She subconsciously felt that Jun Shiling hade here to meet Xia Wei because of Xia Wanyuan.

    Chu Man¡¯s heart ached inexplicably. She had already followed Xia Wei here, but Xia Wei was still thinking about Xia Wanyuan.

    Chu Man was not an impulsive person. However, at this moment, driven by an unknown emotion, Chu Man took a step forward. ¡°CEO Jun, you should know my rules. I don¡¯t like to interact with people from China, especially the Jun family. Please leave.¡±

    Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wei. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chu Man was about to say something when Xia Wei walked over from behind.

    ¡°CEO Jun, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± With that, Xia Wei stood beside Jun Shiling.

    Looking at Xia Wei, who was standing opposite her, the indifferent expression on Chu Man¡¯s face dissipated. There was obvious sadness between her eyebrows. ¡°You¡¯re leaving?? Have you forgotten who picked you up from the desert??¡±

    Looking at the cold Xia Wei in front of her, Chu Man thought of three years ago.

    It was clearly a deserted desert, but because of Xia Wei in her memory, it was as if even the desert was soaked in the gentle light of the moonlight.

    At that time, Xia Wei slowly walked towards her with a gentle expression. She thought that Xia Wei would always stay by her side so gently, but in the end, she was wrong.

    She thought that if she gave Xia Wei everything he wanted over the years, Xia Wei would always stay by her side. However, now, for another woman, Xia Wei left without hesitation.

    Xia Wei forced his gaze away from Chu Man¡¯s face and said quietly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Wei nced at Jun Shiling. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Jun Shiling replied and turned to leave with Xia Wei.

    Chu Man stood on the deck and watched Jun Shiling and Xia Wei leave together, her eyes filled with disbelief.

    Xia Wei was leaving just like that? Did I really have no weight in his heart?

    The wind and waves were very strong that day. The sea breeze howled. No one heard Xia Wei say softly before he left, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    The helicopter left with the people and quicklynded at the border of America. After getting out of the helicopter, Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wei and finally broke the silence.

    ¡°Nice to meet you. Hello, I¡¯m Jun Shiling.¡±

    Xia Wei quietly sized up Jun Shiling for a while, then crossed his arms and bowed to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling had been with Xia Wanyuan for a long time, so he naturally knew this greeting very well. This was a greeting procedure from the Xia Dynasty¡¯s royal family.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°I saw the letter you gave me.¡± Xia Wei stood up straight. ¡°I¡¯ve always thought that my royal sister is omnipotent and that she doesn¡¯t need anyone to rely on. However, I can see her dependence on you.¡±

    ...

    Over the past few years, Xia Wei had been collecting information about Xia Wanyuan. He naturally knew something about Jun Shiling. Although he had not met him yet, Xia Wei had acknowledged Jun Shiling in his heart.

    Jun Shiling smiled slightly. ¡°Thank you for your approval.¡±

    ¡°The letter you gave me back then wasn¡¯t clear. What¡¯s your solution??¡±

 Chapter 1517 - 1517 The Truth is Out

    1517 The Truth is Out

    ¡°Do you know who the ck-robed man who has been targeting Xia Wanyuan is? I¡¯ve investigated for a long time but I can¡¯t find his identity.¡±

    Ever since the ck-robed man first appeared, Jun Shiling had sent people to watch him the entire time. In the past few years, he had gradually figured out a portion of the ck-robed man¡¯s identity.

    What could be confirmed was that this man was the sect master of the hidden continent in World D, but what was not clear was that

    He had already appeared in China three hundred years ago, and in the past three hundred years, this person had been secretly searching for news of Xia Wanyuan, even though Xia Wanyuan had not appeared at that time.

    It was only after the current Xia Wanyuan appeared in China that the ck-robed man came to China more often, and the focus had always been on Xia Wanyuan.

    Lin Jing got someone to capture a subordinate who had served the ck-robed man. ording to his subordinate, this ck-robed man¡¯s preferences were very strange. He was clearly from World D and lived abroad all year round.

    Whether it was his eating habits or daily living, he liked China¡¯s traditional style.

    The ce they lived had to have a private home forest, mountains, and rivers. Even in the desert, they had to artificially createndscapes. Their usual eating habits werepletely the same as China¡¯s.

    Suchplicated information had indeed interfered with Jun Shiling¡¯s judgment. He suspected that this ck-robed man had some rtionship with Xia Wanyuan, but he did not know much about the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that he had met Xia Wei, it was a good time to verify it with him.

    The ck-robed man had been moving quite frequently in the past few years. Xia Wei, who had been paying attention to news about Xia Wanyuan, naturally discovered this person. He had also been searching for information about the ck-robed man.

    Xia Wei¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, that person should be the King of Jiangdong, Jiang Qing.¡±

    ¡°King of Jiangdong??¡± Jun Shiling frowned tightly.

    Jun Shiling was not unfamiliar with this name. In Director Xia Wanyuan¡¯s movies and previous life experiences that she usually revealed, this King of Jiangdong had once appeared.

    Back then, the family that destroyed the Great Xia Dynasty was the Jiang family, and Jiang Qing was the main general who destroyed the Great Xia Dynasty. Later on, he ascended to the throne. Unfortunately, not long after, Xia Wanyuan brought people to restore the country, and Jiang Qing was nowhere to be found.

    Jun Shiling knew that this person was Xia Wanyuan¡¯s strongest opponent. ¡°Why is he here? Why did you guys revive??¡±

    At first, Jun Shiling only thought that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s existence was because of some crack in time. However, as more and more people appeared in this era from a thousand years ago, in addition to the various information he had gotten someone to investigate, it showed that things were not that simple.

    Speaking of this, a hint of frustration shed across Xia Wei¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°In the end, this matter is still because of me.¡±

    Xia Wei sighed. Back then, after Xia Wanyuan passed away, Xia Wei could not ept this blow at all. As time passed, Xia Wei finally could not help but use his secret technique.

    At that time, there was a legend among the people that as long as they could activate the Nine Stars Rotation Array, they could recall their loved ones¡¯ souls. Xia Wei believed it and found someone who knew how to activate this array.

    And that ck-robed man was the King of Jiangdong, who had faked his death and fled.

    However, at that time, Xia Wei had never suspected the identity of the ck-robed man. Although he had always been on guard, he did not expect the man in front of him to be their former enemy.

    Jiang Qing¡¯s ancestors were from the hidden family, and the hidden family had indeed retained this secret method to reverse time. At that time, Jiang Qing had told Xia Wei that the spirit of this array formation was the aura of an emperor.

    He needed Xia Wei to burn twenty years of his life as the price to extend Xia Wanyuan¡¯s life.

    Xia Wei naturally agreed. He followed the steps Jiang Qing had mentioned and prepared the huge array step by step.

    Because of his obsession with reviving Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei did listen to Jiang Qing, but he had always been vignt.

    Before the array was activated, the people Xia Wei had sent to monitor Jiang Qing realized that Jiang Qing had secretly gotten someone to sacrifice the construction people to the array.

    Xia Wei knew that Xia Wanyuan loved the people like her own children and definitely did not want him to revive because of someone else¡¯s blood. He suggested stopping, but Jiang Qing seemed to be a little impatient and let Xia Wei discover a w.

    However, it was toote. Jiang Qing brought Xia Wanyuan¡¯s corpse into the array and forcefully activated the entire array.

    Xia Wei only remembered that there was a white fog around him at that time. Later on, hepletely lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was at the bottom of Continent F, which was aloof from the world.

    After hearing Xia Wei¡¯s exnation, Jun Shiling still did not understand. ¡°What¡¯s Jiang Qing¡¯s motive for activating that array?? What has this array got to do with the Xia family?¡±

    ¡°In order to take revenge, he wants to go back ten years ago, back to before we fought. As for that array, only the Xia family can activate it. I¡¯m the only Xia family member born at the most sunny time in hundreds of years. Only I can activate that array,¡± Xia Wei exined patiently to Jun Shiling.

    The questions he had had for many years were finally answered at this moment. Only then did Jun Shiling know that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s appearance was because of a mistake in the array.

    ¡°Then is his current goal still to return to that year??¡± Jun Shiling had been searching for the motive of the man in ck. Now that he heard Xia Wei¡¯s answer, he finally understood.

    Why had Jiang Qing been looking for Xia Wanyuan, but he did not do anything for a long time? Because Xia Wei had not appeared. Xia Wanyuan alone could not activate this array formation.

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wei nodded and reached out to peel off the clothes in front of him. The ck nine-pointed star on his chest quietly entrenched itself in front of him. ¡°I¡¯m different from my royal sister. I entered this world physically. I don¡¯t have much time left here.¡±

    Looking at the nine-pointed star on Xia Wei¡¯s chest, Jun Shiling frowned slightly. He thought of something. ¡°Jiang Qing appeared three hundred years ago. You mean that he didn¡¯t enter this world physically?¡±

    Xia Wei shook his head. ¡°No, he¡¯s a corporeal body.¡±

    Xia Wei clearly remembered that when he was swept into the white fog back then, Xia Wei had forcefully pulled Jiang Qing along. Furthermore, he had studied the ck-robed man¡¯s figure and actions. He was clearly the King of Jiangdong back then. There was no mistake.

    ¡°But he-¡±

    ¡°This means¡­¡± Xia Wei looked up at Jun Shiling. ¡°He¡¯s going to disappear too, so he¡¯s been so anxious to find me recently.¡±

    Jun Shiling stood quietly, a huge amount of information constantly intertwining in his mind. ¡°Why did he conclude that you and Xia Wanyuan would definitely go to the appointment?¡±

    ¡°Because of your and Sister¡¯s child.¡± Xia Wei looked straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°A child from someone who went against time and is forcefully born will not live past ten years. Only he knows how to crack it because he¡¯s the only remaining member of the hidden family in this period of time.¡±

    ¡­

 Chapter 1518 Jiang Qing

    "What?" Hearing Xia Wei''s words, Jun Shiling''s eyes froze. "What do you mean?? Why can''t they live past ten years old?"

    Ever since Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin were born, everything had been normal. The two of them had done many physical examinations and were very healthy. Jun Shiling had never thought that the problem would be with the two of them.

    "Because of the chaos of time and space, Sister should have disappeared because of the distortion of time," Xia Wei exined patiently to Jun Shiling. "Just like me and Jiang Qing, but..."

    "Sister is a soul that traveled through time and space. The punishment that should be hers will fall on the children."

    "How do we solve this?" Jun Shiling was most concerned about what to do with these two children in the future.

    "Like what I said, Jiang Qing is the only remaining hidden nsman in the world. Only he knows how to crack it. No one else can do anything."

    "I understand." Jun Shiling nodded. "Let''s rest here for the time being. When it''s dark, we''ll set off to look for him."

    "Mm."

    Everyone rested on the spot. Because of the continuous journey, many people were a little tired and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

    Xia Wei was not sleepy at all. He walked up the stairs to the highest floor and leaned on the railing, quietly looking into the distance. That was where he and Jun Shiling had just left.

    It was almost evening and the setting sun was as red as blood. A seabird pped its wings and flew into the distance. Xia Wei subconsciously raised his arm and gently touched his lower lip, his eyes dark.

    He had to admit that Chu Man was different from the women in his harem.

    Xia Wei was a very career-minded emperor. Ever since Xia Wanyuan left, Xia Wei had married the empress ording to the ancestral system and set up a noble consort and two concubines. There was nobody else.

    Although to the modern world, Xia Wei had married many women, in ancient times, as an emperor, Xia Wei already had an extremely small harem.

    Xia Wei had never been very interested in women. He went to the harem a few times a month to have his children to continue the royal family.

    However, Chu Man was different from anyone he knew in ancient times.

    She was a woman who hadpletely received a modern open education. She was as passionate as a ball of fire and relied on herself to build her power in Continent F.

    To a certain extent, Chu Man had the same tenacity as Xia Wanyuan.

    However, Xia Wei had his own things to do. The responsibility on him was too heavy. His arrival was a mistake in itself. There was no need to let Chu Man guard an empty dream because of his mistake.

    Xia Wei looked at the sea in the distance with a deep gaze.

    In the past three years, he had always stayed by Chu Man''s side. Everyone felt that he was doing it to live off her and use Chu Man''s power to achieve his goal. Even Chu Man might think so.

    However, only Xia Wei knew that he was selfish.

    This was good. When he left this era, he would not leave anyone with any regrets.

    "Will you disappear?? Completely?" Jun Shiling had walked over at some point in time with two sses of red wine in his hand. He handed one to Xia Wei. "Try my treasured red wine."

    Xia Wei took the wine ss. "You''re very good to my royal sister."

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was the person who knew Xia Wei the best, Xia Wei knew his sister very well. From the way Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling, Xia Wei knew that Jun Shiling must have treated Xia Wanyuan very well.

    Jun Shiling took a sip of wine, his eyes filled with joy and sorrow. "She treats me very well too."

    Hearing the heaviness in Jun Shiling''s tone, Xia Wei turned to look at him. "I''m leaving soon. I hope you can be together in the future."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Completely disappear?" Jun Shiling did not understand what Xia Wei meant by leaving.

    "ording to the ancient records of the hidden family, when the array is activated, the time loophole will be corrected. However, I''m not sure how far this correction will go. After all, no one has tried it. Perhaps I''llpletely disappear."

    Jun Shiling listened to Xia Wei quietly and did not answer. He only silently drank the red wine in his ss.

    At this moment, at the entrance of World D, a ship was riding the wind and waves. Just as it was about to break through the istion of the two worlds, an encrypted letter was sent to the ship.

    Seeing the scorpion symbol on the letter, the subordinate hurriedly handed the letter to Yu Qian. "Continent Master, Sect Master Jiang sent this over."

    Yu Qian opened the letter and took a look. His expression clearly darkened.

    "What letter?" At this moment, Xia Wanyuan walked over from behind. Yu Qian subconsciously folded the letter and shook his head. "Nothing."

    Looking at Yu Qian''s expression, Xia Wanyuan felt a little strange. She nced at the letter in Yu Qian''s hand and did not say anything.

    "Continue forward." Yu Qian turned around and instructed his subordinate.

    "Yes."

    However, not long after the ship sailed into World D, Xia Wanyuan, who was supposed to be reading, found Yu Qian and ced a letter in front of him. "Why did you hide it from me?"

    Yu Qian''s gazended on the letter on the table. The content of the letter was exactly the same as what Jiang Qing had written to him.

    Yu Qian frowned. "Who gave it to you?"

    I had already instructed them to not let anyone reveal the news outside to Xia Wanyuan. Who had disobeyed my orders like this?

    "Do you really think your subordinates can stop Jiang Qing if he wants to send the letter to me??"

    Xia Wanyuan had been guessing who this man in ck was until she received this letter.

    Xia Wanyuan was too familiar with Jiang Qing''s handwriting. In the past, they were enemies who were most familiar with each other.

    In order to find Jiang Qing''s weakness, Xia Wanyuan had studied countless pieces of information about Jiang Qing, including Jiang Qing''s handwriting.

    Yu Qian''s thin lips moved slightly. "You can''t go."

    "You saw the letter. If I don''t go, what will happen to the children??"

    In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had also heard about the hidden family. She had also learned some legends about this family. There was indeed a mention that if one went against the heavens, they would definitely receive the corresponding punishment.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect that although she was the one who had reversed time, this punishment would be given to the child.

    Yu Qian looked up at Xia Wanyuan. "He''s been looking for you for the past three hundred years. He has ill intentions towards you."

    Although everything was not clear yet, it could be inferred from various signs.

    Xia Wanyuan had what Jiang Qing needed. Something would definitely happen if she went.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian quietly and suddenly said, "Why did you keep me back then??"

 Chapter 1519 - 1519 Everything Was CEO Junâ€™s Plan

    1519 Everything Was CEO Jun¡¯s n

    Yu Qian did not expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly ask this. He frowned slightly. ¡°There¡¯s no reason. I just want to keep you.¡±

    All along, many people had asked him this question, and his answer had always been this. Unfortunately, no one had ever believed it.

    Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly. In the past few years, she had always felt that Yu Qian had deliberately kept her because of his conflict with Jun Shiling.

    However, after discovering today that the person who had been looking for her was Jiang Qing, Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled a huge matter from three years ago.

    Three years ago, although she had been staying in the base and did not go out, she vaguely understood from the document sent to Yu Qian.

    World D had undergone a power rotation. Hidden Continent was originally thergest sphere of influence in World D. Three years ago, Jiang Qing had be the leader of Hidden Continent. In addition to his long-term management in World A, he could basically do whatever he wanted on the entire.

    With the power Jiang Qing had at that time, it was an exaggeration to say that he could even tten the entire China. He had always been looking for her. ording to Jiang Qing¡¯s ruthless style, he could really take her away at all costs.

    However, even though he was already so powerful, there was only one ce on this that he could not step foot in, and that was the ce under Yu Qian¡¯s jurisdiction. A hundred years ago, the ancestors of both sides signed a peace agreement. Among them, it mentioned that the people of Hidden Continent would not take another step forward for a hundred years.

    As a member of the hidden family, Jiang Qing had always believed in these agreements and heavenly punishments. Hence, even though Jiang Qing¡¯s power far exceeded Yu Qian¡¯s, he had never crossed the line.

    Now, Xia Wanyuan suddenly connected these few things. She suddenly had a feeling that Jun Shiling and Yu Qian¡¯s rtionship might not be as ipatible as she had imagined.

    She knew very well that with Jun Shiling¡¯s ability, it was not impossible to force her to stay back then, but Jun Shiling had let go. At that time, she only thought that Jun Shiling respected her choice, but from the looks of it, it might have been premeditated.

    Yu Qian stood quietly. Seeing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze change, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯ve always been very smart. I knew you would guess one day, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be so early.¡±

    However, Xia Wanyuan, who knew all of this, was not happy at all. A hint of uneasiness rose in her heart and she subconsciously took a step forward. ¡°What else did Jun Shiling say to you?? What are you plotting??¡±

    Yu Qian touched the thumb ring in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m not plotting. Actually, I¡¯ve always hated Jun Shiling and have never nned to ally with him.¡±

    ¡°Then you¡­¡±

    ¡°Then why did I agree to let you stay?¡± Yu Qian turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Because I can let you stay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not understand what Yu Qian meant. ¡°What?¡±

    Yu Qian lowered his head with an inexplicable expression. ¡°Because I can keep you. Do you remember the first time we met??¡±

    Hearing Yu Qian¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan thought of a few years ago in the Wei family. Wei Zimu had originally brought her into the library, but after a while, the person who appeared in front of her changed.

    Even though his facial features and temperament were identical to Wei Zimu¡¯s, the temperature in his bones was different.

    Yu Qian seemed to have recalled the first time they met. At that time, Xia Wanyuan stood in front of the bookshelf and looked back. Her bright eyes were like ss beads, making him feel for the first time that Xia Wanyuan should be more interesting than others.

    ¡°From the first time I saw you, I¡¯ve wanted to keep you by my side.¡± Yu Qian stared intently at Xia Wanyuan.

    However, there was no selfish desire in those sses. There was no lingering. It was more like¡­

    A person who had been walking alone in the darkness for a long time happened to see a beam of light. He wanted to put away this light and only light himself.

    His obsession with Xia Wanyuany in the loneliness in his bones.

    Hence, three years ago, when Jun Shiling took the initiative to put Xia Wanyuan by his side, he agreed.

    ¡°Although I hate Jun Shiling,¡± Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan and said slowly, ¡°he does treat you well.¡±

    In order to better protect Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling sent the piece of flesh in his heart to another man.

    In the past three years, he should have shared the world with his wife and daughter, but he had given this position to Yu Qian.

    In order to prevent Jiang Qing from tearing up that peace agreement at any time and forcefully entering the continent, Jun Shiling had been secretly sending the most advanced weapons and equipment to Yu Qian.

    While Xia Wanyuan and Little Xiaxia were unaware, Jun Shiling had been standing in front of them to protect them.

    Xia Wanyuan almost instantly understood what Yu Qian meant. Thinking of everything Jun Shiling had done, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached.

    She could not imagine how Jun Shiling had endured his reluctance to send her and Little Xiaxia away and how he had protected them under his longing and loneliness.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s instantly red eyes, Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered. He took a step forward and handed a handkerchief to Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Now, are you still going to the appointment?? Do you know that if you go, all of Jun Shiling¡¯s ns and protection will be for nothing?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan clenched her fists slightly. ¡°He¡¯s going? Right??¡±

    It was impossible for Jiang Qing to give up everything just because she did not go. All the firepower needed a target. In order to let her stay in D World in peace, Jun Shiling would definitely take the initiative to fight Jiang Qing.

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s question, Yu Qian was silent and did not respond.

    However, the silence represented everything. Xia Wanyuan raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. ¡°I want to go.¡±

    In her previous life, she and Jiang Qing had always been opponents. She knew very well that Jiang Qing was a ruthless and scheming person. She would be worried if she did not go.

    Furthermore, Jiang Qing had been looking for her for more than three hundred years. He would definitely not give up so easily. The punishment on the two children also needed to be removed. Jiang Qing was the only remaining descendant of the hidden family. Only he knew how to crack it.

    Actually, Yu Qian knew very well that he could not persuade Xia Wanyuan. He was not surprised to hear Xia Wanyuan¡¯s answer.

    ¡°Then go ahead. I won¡¯t go.¡± Yu Qian walked to the sofa and sat down. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to do such a simple act of courting death.¡±

    ¡°Goodbye.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at Yu Qian, then summoned an aircraft from the side and quickly left.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Yu Qian frowned slightly. He raised his hand and wanted to say something. After thinking for a while, he finally said, ¡°Go back ording to the original route.¡±

    ¡­

 Chapter 1520 - 1520 Night Meeting

    1520 Night Meeting

    The subordinate did not quite understand what Yu Qian meant. ¡°Continent Master, do you mean to chase after Miss Xia or return to A World directly?¡±

    Yu Qian frowned and nced at his subordinate. ¡°To the meeting. Who said I was looking for Xia Wanyuan??¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± The subordinate nodded. ¡°I understand, I understand. I¡¯ll arrange it immediately.¡±

    When he turned around, the corners of his subordinate¡¯s lips twitched. He chuckled in his heart and thought to himself, It would be strange if you didn¡¯t look for Miss Xia.

    !!

    He was clearly quite concerned about Miss Xia, but he refused to say anything in front of her. The bosses¡¯ matters were reallyplicated.

    At this moment, around therge ind in the middle of the TP Ocean, the cruise hotel was gradually filled with people.

    Looking at the gradually bustling ind, everyone leaned against the cruise ship and chatted.

    ¡°Do you think there will be any substantive agreement in this negotiation??¡±

    ¡°What agreement can there be?? In this situation, the sect master of Hidden Continent can do whatever he wants in the world, but can Jun Shiling and the rest of the people in D World give in to him?? This time, there will probably be another bloodbath.¡±

    In fact, A World and D World had already interacted peacefully for nearly a hundred years. In the past hundred years, they had not interfered with each other. It was so calm that the people of D World no longer realized that there was a world isted from them in this world.

    To most ordinary people in World D, they had never even heard of World A, let alone understood this world.

    Ordinary people did not realize that while they were calmly living every day, the crisis of extinction was quietly advancing invisibly.

    At this moment, in thergest desert in Continent F, the high temperature steamed all the water in the air, leaving only a pungent smell of blood.

    At the edge of the desert, some people in ck were cleaning the groove of the array.

    Those huge deep troughs were abnormally blood-red, as if they had been tempered. They had an obvious smooth luster and looked inexplicably strange.

    ¡°Tsk.¡± The subordinate in charge of cleaning up the fallen rocks shivered. ¡°Have you heard? There were many screams herest night. Do you know why the sect master ordered us not toe out? It might be¡­¡±

    ¡°Shh.¡± Before this person could finish speaking, he was stopped by hispanion. Hispanion¡¯s face was clearly filled with fear. ¡°Do you not want to live anymore?? How can you say such things casually??¡±

    The subordinate immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He pursed his lips. ¡°You¡¯re right. I spoke too much, but there are so many people¡­ Is it true?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s true or not. If you don¡¯t want to end up like them, I advise you to be mute.¡±

    At that moment, the ck-robed man walked out of the camp. The two people who were talking immediately stopped discussing.

    ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s all done.¡± Even as a professional killer, the subordinate could not help but feel disgusted when he thought of the massacrest night. ¡°What do you need us to do next??¡±

    The ck-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead. ¡°What should we do?? Of course we¡¯re going to wee our regent queen back.¡±

    A hint of confusion shed across the subordinate¡¯s eyes. He did not know who the regent queen was in the ck-robed man¡¯s eyes. What was wrong with our boss??

    The ck-robed man looked at the gradually formed array in front of him and the corners of his lips gradually curled up.

    This time, it would definitely seed.

    ¡ª¡ª

    That night, in the manor, Xiao Bao was teaching Little Jiajin and Little Xiaxia to read and write.

    Looking at the names of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan slowly melting on the rice paper, Little Xiaxia blinked. ¡°Brother, when can we see Daddy and Mommy??¡±

    Xiao Bao stroked Little Xiaxia¡¯s head. ¡°Soon.¡±

    ¡°I miss Daddy and Mommy.¡± Little Xiaxia lowered her head dejectedly. ¡°Mommy¡¯s noodles are especially delicious. Boohoo.¡±

    Little Xiaxia began to cry as she spoke. Xiao Bao and Little Jiajin wanted tofort her, but before they could say anything, their eyes turned red with Little Xiaxia.

    Just as the house was filled with sobs, Xiao Bao¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Xiao Bao picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

    He wanted to hang up, but Little Xiaxia nced at the number and suddenly became excited. ¡°Mommy!! It¡¯s Mommy!!¡±

    With that, Little Xiaxia pressed the answer button.

    The next second, the smiling Xia Wanyuan appeared on the screen.

    ¡°Mommy!!¡± The three little dumplings instantly squeezed to the phone excitedly and shouted at Xia Wanyuan.

    ]Looking at the children she had not seen in a long time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart ached. ¡°Mm, good girl.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, I miss you so much.¡± In the past few years, Xiao Bao had already be extremely restrained. However, at this moment, looking at the smiling Xia Wanyuan in the camera, Xiao Bao could not suppress the longing in his heart.

    Little Jiajin looked at Xia Wanyuan in a daze. From the time he could remember, he had only seen Xia Wanyuan¡¯s photo. This was the first time he had seen Xia Wanyuan in action.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who could not hide her astonishing beauty and gentle temperament even in the camera, Little Jiajin blinked.

    So this was my mother. My mother was so beautiful. She was the most beautiful mother in the world.

    Looking at Little Jiajin and Xiao Bao, whom she owed a lot, guilt shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°I miss you too.¡±

    ¡°Mommy, when are youing back??¡± Little Xiaxia blinked her big eyes at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I miss you so much!!!¡±

    Xia Wanyuan forced a smile. ¡°It should be soon. Be good.¡±

    ¡°Mm!! I¡¯m super obedient. Mommy, I found Daddy. I even found my brothers. They¡¯re all so good. As you said, they¡¯re the best family in the world.¡± Little Xiaxia shared with Xia Wanyuan happily.

    Little Jiajin and Xiao Bao also spoke to Xia Wanyuan excitedly. Unknowingly, two hours had passed.

    Seeing that Little Xiaxia and Little Jiajin were starting to yawn, Xia Wanyuan temporarily stopped talking to them.

    ¡°Alright, go and rest first. Tell me when I¡¯m back, okay?¡±

    ¡°Mm! Mommy, we love you!¡± The three children were especially obedient. They were willing to do whatever Xia Wanyuan said.

    After the call ended, Xia Wanyuan looked at the data on the aircraft. It was less than ten kilometers away from Jun Shiling.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was already far from the coast. The sea breeze at night was even fiercer than in the day, stirring up huge waves that hit the surging sea.

    As the aircraft approached the ship Jun Shiling and the rest were on, Jun Shiling¡¯s subordinates also discovered this unknown aircraft.

    ¡°CEO Jun, we¡­¡± The subordinate hurriedly reported to Jun Shiling.

    However, after Jun Shiling quietly looked at the shing light of the aircraft for a while, his expression changed.

    ...

 Chapter 1521 - 1521 CEO Jun and Princess Finally Meet

    1521 CEO Jun and Princess Finally Meet

    ¡°Get someone to remove the defense immediately and put that aircraft down.¡± Jun Shiling turned to look at his subordinate, his eyes filled with anticipation and urgency that no one had seen before.

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The subordinate hurriedly nodded and went to assign work to the other subordinates.

    It was night, and the waves in this sea were too strong. Although the aircraft was already close, it could notnd directly.

    The subordinates worked for a long time before the aircraft finally approached.

    During this long period of time, Jun Shiling had been standing by the railing and quietly looking at the aircraft in the sky.

    Half an hourter, the aircraft circling in the skynded on the deck.

    Before the aircraftnded, everyone watched Jun Shiling walk over quickly. The wind blew the corners of his clothes. His side profile was cold as he looked straight at the aircraft.

    Everyone was curious who could make Jun Shiling so anxious to wee them. In the next second, everyone saw a slender figure run down from the aircraft.

    Looking at that face that could not hide its stunning light even in the night, everyone looked at each other and understood.

    Even though they had onlye hereter, they had heard of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s name from countless people.

    Wasn¡¯t this the legendary Xia Wanyuan running towards CEO Jun?

    At that moment, Bo Xiao walked out of the cabin. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, whom he had not seen in a long time, a faint light shed across Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes, and his tightly furrowed eyebrows rxed.

    Looking at the two people who were already hugging not far away, everyone left under Bo Xiao¡¯s lead.

    At this moment, on the deck, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were hugging each other tightly. It had been three years, but the two of them still had the most perfectpatibility. That embrace seemed to be born. Even though time had passed, it could not change at all.

    Feeling the smell that belonged to Jun Shiling fill her nose, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes turned red. She clearly had a lot to say, but in the end, she only said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Follow me into the cabin. I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up horizontally and walked straight into the cabin.

    At this moment, behind the cabin, his subordinates secretly stuck their heads out.

    ¡°Wow, CEO Jun has such a gentle side?? Did you see the way CEO Jun looked at his wife just now¡­ Good lord¡­¡±

    ¡°I thought someone like CEO Jun would be ck-faced when he was in love. Aiyaya¡­ He even carried her bridal style.¡±

    Everyone had been in the team for a long time and basically did not have much entertainment. Now that they had finally eaten Jun Shiling¡¯s melon, they were all extremely excited.

    ¡°Ahem.¡± Bo Xiao had appeared behind everyone at some point in time. He coughed lightly. Without turning around, everyone knew who hade and hurriedly lowered their heads to escape.

    Looking at everyone¡¯s backs as they fled, Bo Xiao smiled and shook his head. He nced at the cabin and secretly ran to the window to take a look before walking away leisurely.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and quietly looked at his side profile.

    He had lost a lot of weight. Perhaps because he had been busy traveling recently, there was stubble on his face and his eyes were clearly bloodshot.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s sizing up, Jun Shiling looked down at her. ¡°Why? Do you want to say that I¡¯ve be ugly again??¡±

    A smile shed across Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mm, you seem to be a little uglier than before.¡±

    Jun Shiling ced Xia Wanyuan on the soft couch. ¡°Sit first. I¡¯ll cook a bowl of noodles for you.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling was about to turn and leave when Xia Wanyuan grabbed his wrist.

    Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with a burning gaze.

    Time passed bit by bit, and the two of them looked at each other.

    Suddenly, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s finger that was holding Jun Shiling¡¯s gently curved and scratched Jun Shiling¡¯s palm.

    Jun Shiling narrowed his eyes and grabbed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand, then leaned down. ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡±

    The warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes was too hot. Xia Wanyuan looked away in embarrassment. ¡°Looks like CEO Jun doesn¡¯t miss me very much. All¡­¡±

    Before she could finish speaking, Jun Shiling¡¯s aura pressed over.

    In a daze, Jun Shiling buried his head in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s neck and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll let you see if I miss you very much.¡±

    The wind and waves at night were very strong. The huge waves rolled up the sea and kept hitting the ship. The ship swayed forward in the wind and rain.

    The huge wave attacked and enveloped the entire ship. In the next second, the bow of the ship bulged and broke through the waves.

    After some time, the ship finally sailed to a rtively calm sea. In the distance, at the junction of the sea and sky, a bright red sun was shining through the clouds.

    In the cabin, Xia Wanyuan was so tired that she could not speak.

    Jun Shiling leaned over lovingly. ¡°Do you feel how much I miss you??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears turned red. ¡°Looking at how haggard you are, I thought¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s waist and pulled her into his arms. He looked into her eyes. ¡°What did you think??¡±

    The nket was warm, and Jun Shiling¡¯s embrace was real. Xia Wanyuan, who had been tense recently, finally felt a rare sense of peace.

    She leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s chest and smiled. ¡°I thought CEO Jun couldn¡¯t do it.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes darkened. The hand under the nket moved slightly, causing Xia Wanyuan to exim.

    ¡°If Mrs. Jun doesn¡¯t mind, I can show you again how much I miss you.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan finally became obedient. ¡°No need.¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling move his hand away and hug Xia Wanyuan. ¡°You seem to have lost a lot of weight.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling¡¯s neck. ¡°I¡¯m really hungry this time.¡±

    She had been hungry for the entire day and had spent a lot of energyst night. Now, Xia Wanyuan was so hungry that she almost lost the energy to speak.

    Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°Okay, stay here obediently.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling lifted the nket and stood up, walking to the kitchen to make food for Xia Wanyuan.

    Not long after, Jun Shiling came over with steaming noodles.

    ...

    Xia Wanyuan did not get up. Jun Shiling took his chopsticks and sat by the bed to slowly feed Xia Wanyuan.

    A warm sea breeze blew in from the window, lifting Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hair and lingering on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder.

    At this moment, time was silent. In a daze, it was as if nothing had happened, as if the two of them were still where they were three years ago.

    However, under this deliberately hidden calmness, the two of them knew that this was temporary peace before the battle.

 Chapter 1522 - 1522 Protection

    1522 Protection

    The sky gradually lit up. The sunlight entered the cabin on the sea breeze. Xia Wanyuan slowly ate the noodles and quietly pulled the corner of Jun Shiling¡¯s shirt with her left hand.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s actions, Jun Shiling looked down at her. Xia Wanyuan smiled at him. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered as he pulled Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand over and held it. ¡°Are you cold?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head, then nodded. ¡°I think so.¡±

    The corners of Jun Shiling¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan gently scratched Jun Shi¡¯s palm. ¡°Kiss?¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. He clearly did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so proactive today, although she was still proactivest night.

    Jun Shiling lowered his body and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. His eyes locked onto her. ¡°Is that enough?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±

    The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Looking at Xia Wanyuan smiling, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to take another step, footsteps came from the door.

    ¡°Ahem, I don¡¯t think I came at the right time?¡± Bo Xiao¡¯s smiling voice came from the door.

    Xia Wanyuan hurriedly pulled her hand out of Jun Shiling¡¯s. She stood up and looked at Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao was still the same as before, not much different from three years ago. Xia Wanyuan smiled and looked at Bo Xiao. ¡°Long time no see.¡±

    Bo Xiao nodded at Xia Wanyuan. ¡°Hello, Sister-inw. It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. I saw youst night, but Sister-inw, you didn¡¯t notice me. Your eyes are all focused on CEO Jun.¡±

    Although they had not seen each other for a few years, Bo Xiao was still the same as before. There was a smile in his eyes and he liked to tease.

    Seeing her old friend again, Xia Wanyuan was overjoyed to be reunited. What she wanted to know the most was An Rao¡¯s situation. ¡°Is An Rao okay??¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s good Bo Xiao nodded. ¡°She just misses you quite a lot. She nags about you from time to time. When you¡¯re not around, An Rao often goes to the manor to take care of Xiao Bao. It can be considered a relief.¡±

    An Rao only had one friend, Xia Wanyuan. Ever since Xia Wanyuan left, An Rao had been talking about her in Bo Xiao¡¯s ear, almost grinding calluses out of Bo Xiao¡¯s ears.

    ¡°Oh, right.¡± Bo Xiao thought of An Rao with an obvious smile in his eyes. ¡°She came back two years ago. Now, she takes care of her son every day and films. Her greatest wish is to film with you in the future.¡±

    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll visit her.¡± It had been a long time since she had seen An Rao, so Xia Wanyuan naturally missed her. ¡°And my godson, how¡¯s his condition now?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s very good. He eats and sleeps every day. He¡¯s fair and fat. Recently, he even fell in love with your Little Xiaxia. He treasures her every day.¡±

    Previously, Little Qingli liked to stick to Jiajin the most. The two of them had simr personalities and were clearly good brothers. However, ever since Little Xiaxia arrived, they had be an explosive stone between Little Jiajin and Little Qingli.

    The two children often fought over who to y with Little Xiaxia and ignored each other,pletely forgetting that they were each other¡¯s best friends.

    However, it had to be said that children were everyone¡¯s hope. It was precisely because of these two clowns that An Rao and the others in the manor were clearly much happier.

    Knowing that everyone was doing well, Xia Wanyuan was much more relieved. She nodded. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you two to take care of them.¡±

    Seeing that Bo Xiao seemed to have something to say to Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan nodded at Jun Shiling. ¡°You can talk, I¡¯ll go out first.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Bo Xiao took a few steps toward Jun Shiling and passed a document to him. The document contains the few people¡¯s brief situation. ¡°The people you want have basically arrived. Sigh, you¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan outside the cabin. The sea breeze blew up the corners of her dress a little, and her hair circled in the air. Sensing Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan smiled at him.

    Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wanyuan before looking at Bo Xiao. ¡°Don¡¯t tell her.¡±

    Bo Xiao sighed in his heart. ¡°But won¡¯t she still know in the end? I can¡¯t persuade you much. Perhaps if it were me, I would do the same as you.¡±

    He clearly felt that Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were very crazy, but in all fairness, if it were Bo Xiao himself, he felt that he would have the same choice as Jun Shiling.

    If he could ept any punishment on behalf of An Rao, he would not hesitate at all.

    However, at this moment, as Jun Shiling¡¯s good friend for many years, Bo Xiao had mixed feelings as he watched Jun Shiling walk towards the most extreme direction step by step.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s gazended on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s back. ¡°It¡¯s my responsibility to protect her.¡±

    From the moment Xia Wanyuan entered Jun Shiling¡¯s heart, Jun Shiling had ced her in his heart and protected her behind him.

    Bo Xiao did not say anything else. He knew that it was no longer important to say anything. The two of them stood in silence, and the huge cabin became quite quiet.

    At this moment, on the deck, Xia Wanyuan leaned against the railing and quietly looked into the distance, thinking about something.

    Seeing that Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao still had a lot to say, Xia Wanyuan sat aside and called Xiao Bao.

    ¡°Mommy.¡± Now, Xiao Bao was already a calm boy, but in front of Xia Wanyuan, there was obvious attachment in his eyes.

    ¡°Good boy.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xiao Bao. ¡°Are you reading?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m practicing calligraphy.¡±

    With that, Xiao Bao showed the painting and calligraphy on the table to Xia Wanyuan. Every stroke on the rice paper imitated Xia Wanyuan¡¯s handwriting.

    ¡°It¡¯s written very well.¡± Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart suddenly ached. ¡°Who taught you?¡±

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Bao pursed his lips. ¡°Mommy, when can youe back?¡±

    ¡°Soon.¡± Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xiao Bao.

    Just as the two of them were talking, an exmation suddenly came from the camera. An Rao squeezed in. ¡°Wow, Yuan Yuan!!! Boohoo, I heard that you¡­ Aiya, let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Are you okay?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Mm, not bad. Are you okay?¡±

    An Rao¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°Of course not. There¡¯s no one to eat and shop with me anymore. Boohoo, I left you a lot of beautiful clothes. You can slowly try them on when youe back. Also, your fans check my Weibo every day and say that they miss you. Because of you, I¡¯ve gained arge number of fans. Also, the students you brought are so amazing. Really, you muste back and take a look¡­¡±

    An Rao spoke non-stop. Xia Wanyuan listened quietly and did not speak, her eyes clearly smiling.

    After a while, in the cabin, Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the rest to you. I¡¯ve already arranged it. Sorry to trouble you.¡±

 Chapter 1523 So Its Her

    Bo Xiao forced a smile at Jun Shiling. "Why are you so polite? Don''t worry, I''ll pick her up now."

    With that, Bo Xiao left the cabin.

    Seeing Bo Xiao leave in the aircraft, Xia Wanyuan turned around. "Where is he going?"

    "It hasn''t been peaceful recently. Something happened and he needs to leave." Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan over. "We''ll probably reach Guiyuan Ind tonight. Rest for a while."

    Hearing the name of this ind, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. "Did you name this ind?"

    "No." Jun Shiling shook his head. "A long time ago, a Chinese discovered this ce and gave it a name."

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. "From the looks of it, they''re inexplicablypatible."

    Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan''s hair. "Rest for a while. There are still many things to do tonight."

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Okay."

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan into the cabin. Xia Wanyuan had just woken up and actually could not sleep, so Jun Shiling apanied her to read. The two of them exchanged what they had seen and heard in the past few years. Just like how they had felt when they interacted previously, there were no changes.

    At this moment, about thirty kilometers away from the ship Jun Shiling was on, an advancedboratory had just beenpleted.

    "To be honest, I was quite surprised. I didn''t expect you to be chosen in the end." Yu Qian stood at the entrance of theboratory and turned to look at Lu Li, who was standing beside him.

    He had saved Lu Li from Old K. Old K liked such a beautiful girl. Just as Lu Li was about topletely fall into hell, she happened to look up at Yu Qian.

    Those pure eyes attracted Yu Qian''s attention.

    He brought Lu Li out and nurtured her into the purest de that could hurt people invisibly and reach their hearts.

    However, now, this sharp de seemed to have really been tainted by the mortal world.

    Looking at Lu Li''s silent side profile, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. "You''re doing this for Xuan Sheng, right?"

    If it were in the past, as the most outstanding killer under Yu Qian, Lu Li would not reveal any emotions. However, at this moment, Lu Li had already let go of everything.

    Her eyshes trembled slightly, and there was finally a hint of fluctuation in her eyes.

    "Ridiculous." Yu Qian snorted coldly. "But since you''re willing, follow me in."

    Lu Li nodded, then looked at Yu Qian very seriously. "I hope Xuan Sheng doesn''t know about this. Don''t let anyone know that this person is me."

    Yu Qian looked at Lu Li for a long time with a rare hint of confusion in his eyes, but in the end, he nodded. "Okay."

    With that, Lu Li walked straight into theboratory, and Yu Qian followed.

    The subordinate prepared everything needed for the surgery and left theboratory.

    Watching theboratory door gradually close, the subordinates looked at each other.

    "Have you heard?? The governor is choosing people this time to do a skin recement surgery. No one is willing to take the initiative to sign up. Lu Li is the only one."

    "I don''t understand. Stop talking. Just pretend to be dead. The governor is unpredictable. If he chooses you, you won''t have a ce to cry."

    In theboratory, Lu Li was already lying on the operating table. The light in front of her gradually blurred, and the effect of the anesthetic began to seep in.

    At this moment, the scene of Xuan Sheng leaning against the window and drinking sadly shed across Lu Li''s mind.

    Beforepletely losing consciousness, Lu Li did not have any resentment or regret in her heart. There was only relief.<novelnext></novelnext>

    She had deliberately approached Xuan Sheng for some purpose, but in the end, her heart fell for that lonely figure.

    She knew that Xuan Sheng''s greatest wish was for Xia Wanyuan to be safe. Then, she was willing to make all the sacrifices for Xuan Sheng''s wish.

    The moment Lu Lipletely lost consciousness, the surgical light lit up. Yu Qian held the scalpel and cut open the first wound.

    The sun rose from the east and set in the west. The lights in the operating theater finally went out. As the scalpel in Yu Qian''s hand fell, the person on the operating table opened her eyes.

    However, the person on the operating table, be it her facial features, actions, or inner temperament, werepletely the same as Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the person standing calmly in front of him, even Yu Qian was a little dazed. He looked at Lu Li quietly. "You look alike."

    Lu Li nced at Yu Qian indifferently, just as Xia Wanyuan had always been used to looking at people. "How long can itst?"

    In order to achieve the most realistic effect, Lu Li was sewn and mended by Yu Qian like a doll. If there was anything different from Xia Wanyuan, he would directly repair it with raw skin, so the most perfect effect could not be maintained for long.

    "Three days." Yu Qian looked at Lu Li. "Only three days."

    "Is that enough?"

    "Mm."

    Lu Li smiled faintly, got off the operating table, and slowly walked out.

    Because of the rejection reaction of the surgery, Lu Li''s entire body was filled with indescribable pain, so she walked very slowly. However, Xia Wanyuan''s usual walking habits were like this, so there was no need to change them.

    She had been by Xia Wanyuan''s side for so long and knew all her habits very well. Now, her every move was difficult to distinguish.

    Outside theboratory, Jun Shiling had been waiting for a while. Looking at the person slowly walking over, a hint of surprise shed across Jun Shiling''s eyes.

    He walked past Lu Li and nodded at Yu Qian. "Thank you."

    Yu Qian did not speak. He lowered his head and quietly packed the surgical equipment.

    "Let''s go." Yu Qian changed Lu Li''s voice. Now, even Jun Shiling could not tell the difference between the two of them.

    Jun Shiling did not know who the person in front of him was. He only thought that it was a voluntary death warrior he had sent over. He nodded. "Okay."

    While Jun Shiling''s ship was quickly moving towards Guiyuan Ind, another ship was quietly floating on the sea.

    No matter how huge the wind and waves were, they could not disturb the person lying on the bed at all.

    Jun Shiling rushed day and night with his men and arrived at the hotel around Guiyuan Indte at night.

    Just as she got off the ship, Lu Li saw a familiar figure. Her footsteps paused slightly. Jun Shiling acutely sensed it. He turned to look at Lu Li. "What''s wrong?"

    "It''s nothing." Lu Li shook her head. "I just finished the surgery. It hurts a little, but it''s nothing."

    "Why did you bring her here??" Not far away, Xuan Sheng''s beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with obvious anger. "Xia Wanyuan, are you stupid? Why are you here at this time?"

    More than twenty years of training had already given Lu Li strong self-control. She looked at Xuan Sheng calmly. "You shouldn''t havee here either."

    Xuan Sheng frowned. "Why do you care? You''re not anyone to me. I think the scenery here is not bad, so I came to take a look. Stop ttering yourself."

    Although he said that, Xuan Sheng''s gaze could not help but stick to Xia Wanyuan. "What''s wrong with Jun Shiling? Why did he starve you till this state?"

 Chapter 1524 Waking Up

    Just as Xuan Sheng finished speaking, Jun Shiling''s expression darkened. His eyes narrowed. "Watch your words."

    Ever since Xia Wanyuan left, Xuan Sheng had no scruples in front of Jun Shiling. He did not like Jun Shiling in any way, so he naturally could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Jun Shiling now. "Why do you care so much?? You sent your wife out for three years, and you have the cheek to think that my words are not nice?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Sheng strode up to Lu Li. "Are you stupid? It''s so dangerous here."

    Although Xuan Sheng was ming Xia Wanyuan, his eyes were clearly worried and hid his longing.

    Ever since Little Xiaxia was kidnapped, Lu Li had never returned to China. In more than three years, this was the first time Lu Li had seen Xuan Sheng.

    Three years ago, Xuan Sheng was wanton and ostentatious. He always wore a ck shirt with the corners outside, exuding a wild and unruly aura.

    However, although the current Xuan Sheng did not look good, his temperament had be much more restrained. He was like a sheathed sword, making Lu Li feel a little strange.

    In the past three years, Lu Li had also asked around about Xuan Sheng. The current Xuan Sheng had already taken over Glory World Corporation.

    However, she knew that Xuan Sheng was still the same person.

    Because the way he looked at Xia Wanyuan had never changed.

    Lu Li smiled at Xuan Sheng. "Aren''t you here too?"

    She did not need to ask why Xuan Sheng hade too, because she knew very well that Xuan Sheng hade for Xia Wanyuan.

    "You¡­" Xuan Sheng wanted to say something, but Lu Li had already held Jun Shiling''s arm.

    She nodded slightly at Xuan Sheng. "I''m sorry, we still have something to do, so we''ll leave first."

    With that, before Xuan Sheng could answer, Lu Li and Jun Shiling left.

    Watching the two of them leave, Xuan Sheng was silent for a long time. In the end, he shook his head in self-deprecation. "Why bother? I don''t care at all."

    When they reached an empty corner, Lu Li put down her hand from Jun Shiling''s arm. "I''m sorry, CEO Jun."

    Jun Shiling looked at Lu Li thoughtfully. In the end, he only shook his head slightly. "It''s nothing."

    "When does the meeting start?" Lu Li looked at Jun Shiling. She had followed Xia Wanyuan for a long time, so every gaze was 80% simr to hers.

    "Tomorrow. You can rest well first."

    "Okay."

    Actually, everyone knew that the so-called meeting was just an appetizer.

    If they could not reach an agreement in the end, this ce would be a battlefield.

    After Lu Li left, Jun Shiling made a call.

    "How''s it going?"

    "The ship has already begun to return to China. It''s estimated that it will reach the coast of China the day after tomorrow morning."

    "Mm, pay attention to protecting her safety."

    "Yes."

    After bidding farewell to Jun Shiling, Lu Li returned to her room. However, just as she reached the door, she saw Xuan Sheng standing at the door.

    Lu Li clenched her fists slightly and walked over to Xuan Sheng. "Why are you here?"

    Xuan Sheng looked into Lu Li''s eyes. "I know I''ll be rejected, but I still want to ask, are you willing to leave with me? I''ll take you anywhere. Even if I die, I won''t leave you alone."

    Looking at the determined Xuan Sheng, Lu Li pursed her lips. "I¡­"

    Before Lu Li could finish speaking, Xuan Shengughed at himself. "Actually, I know your answer too. I just¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>

    He was just indignant. Xuan Sheng shook his head. "I''m sorry, I seem to have disturbed you again."

    Looking at the careful Xuan Sheng in front of her, Lu Li''s heart ached, but on the surface, she did not show any emotions. "There''s nothing to be sorry about. You have to live well."

    "I''ve been living quite seriously in the past few years." Xuan Sheng forced a smile.

    Actually, Jun Shiling was very sad about Xia Wanyuan''s departure, and so was Xuan Sheng.

    Furthermore, Jun Shiling could openly miss Xia Wanyuan, but Xuan Sheng did not have the right.

    Previously, when Xia Wanyuan was around, Xuan Sheng always tortured his body. After Xia Wanyuan left, Xuan Sheng became quite healthy. He lived regrly and worked seriously.

    Even Xuan Sheng''s assistant was surprised by Xuan Sheng''s change.

    That was because Xuan Sheng remembered what Xia Wanyuan had told him. He was really living a good life and had never tortured himself again, because he wanted to wait for the day he saw Xia Wanyuan return.

    Now that Xia Wanyuan had returned, in Xuan Sheng''s opinion, Xia Wanyuan was clearly here to die. She clearly knew that the governor of the hidden continent was up to no good, but she had followed Jun Shiling over.

    "I can tell." Lu Li looked at Xuan Sheng seriously.

    In Xuan Sheng''s opinion, Lu Li''s emotions were more or less a little too cold. She was expressionless, as if he was an unimportant person standing in front of her.

    However, what Xuan Sheng did not know was that at this moment, Lu Li looked calm on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil because she was trying her best to suppress her feelings for Xuan Sheng.

    She had many things to say to Xuan Sheng, but when she was about to say it, she remembered her identity at this moment.

    She was Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan would not have any other feelings for Xuan Sheng.

    In this ce, there might be a spy somewhere. Everyone had worked so hard for today. She could not let so many people die with her.

    In the end, Lu Li did not say anything. Instead, she smiled at Xuan Sheng. "That''s good."

    Seeing how distant Lu Li was, Xuan Sheng did not have the mood to continue pestering her. He lowered his eyes. "I don''t have much else. How about this? If you need anything from me, just tell me. I won''t hesitate."

    "Okay." Xuan Sheng did not realize that the "Xia Wanyuan" in front of him was trembling slightly. "Goodbye."

    "Goodbye."

    Forever.

    The sea was vast, and the staff were not in a hurry. As they chatted, they drove the ship. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the cabin.

    "Did you hear that?? There seems to be a sound. Could Madam be awake??"

    "How is that possible? CEO Jun already instructed before he left that Madam won''t wake up for a while. Have you forgotten??"

    "No, I still have to go in and take a look. Otherwise, I''ll be worried." With that, a staff member was about to enter the cabin to take a look.

    However, at this moment, a group of dolphins suddenly swam over from not far away and attracted everyone''s attention.

    "Damn, there are so many dolphins. Hey, there are two white dolphins over there. They''re so beautiful."

    The dolphins'' passage distracted everyone. Only when the dolphins gradually swam away did the staff remember themotion in the cabin.

    However, it was already time for breakfast. Everyone who had been guarding the entire night was already hungry.

    "Forget it, it should be nothing. CEO Jun personally carried Madam in."

    "That''s right. Let''s go eat."

    ......-

 Chapter 1525 Gathering

    With that, everyone stopped paying attention to the movements in the cabin and entered the dining room.

    At this moment, in the cabin, Xia Wanyuan leaned against the bed. Her head still hurt.

    She rubbed her temples and felt a sharp pain in her head.

    Xia Wanyuan snorted softly, then pinched the back of her hand, using the pain to force her thoughts to be clear for a moment.

    She recalled how she had lost consciousness. Last night, before sleeping, Xia Wanyuan had drunk a ss of milk Jun Shiling had handed her and lost consciousness.

    Actually, there was no problem with the tranquilizer Jun Shiling had given Xia Wanyuan. If she woke up at a normal time, there would not be any seque.

    However, Jun Shiling had made a wrong judgment about one thing. In the past few years, although Jun Shiling had some understanding of Xia Wanyuan''s situation, he did not have aplete understanding.

    Yu Qian was a very dangerous person. It was impossible for Xia Wanyuan to not be wary of him at all. In the past few years, Xia Wanyuan had been secretly training her resistance to drugs.

    She had often gone on missions outside in the past few years and would asionally encounter very dangerous situations.

    More than a year ago, because she had identally inhaled some paralyzing medicine during the mission, the mission had almost failed.

    From then on, Xia Wanyuan began to consciously take the medicine Yu Qian had ced in theboratory. At first, when she took the tranquilizer, Xia Wanyuan would quickly fall for it.

    Later on, as she slowly trained, Xia Wanyuan''s body had resistance to the nature of this medicine, so she did not faint so easily.

    Hence, the tranquilizer that Jun Shiling had ced in the milk quickly lost its effect.

    With a splitting headache, Xia Wanyuan covered her forehead as she searched for an exit.

    However, Jun Shiling got someone to seal all the exits, even the windows.

    Xia Wanyuan did not need to think to know that Jun Shiling had gone to see those people alone, but Jiang Qing would definitely notpromise if he could not see her.

    Xia Wanyuan had to rush over, or she did not dare to imagine what would happen. She looked around and slowly searched for the source of the fresh air.

    She knew that Jun Shiling would definitely leave a natural vent to maintain the air in the cabin.

    Soon, Xia Wanyuan found the vent.

    However, although she had found the location, she could not open it directly now.

    She could guess that there must be many people guarding outside. Once there was any movement, Jun Shiling would immediately know that she was awake.

    Xia Wanyuan quietly pondered the solution. Suddenly, she thought of the weather forecast she had subconsciously scanned.

    ording to the speed of this ship, they would soon reach a stormy sea. That might be an opportunity.

    Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuany back on the bed.

    After dinner, the subordinates were still a little worried and came in to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan lying peacefully on the bed, everyone was relieved. "Look, I knew it. How could anything happen if CEO Jun did it himself?"

    "I probably saw wrongly. It''s good that you''re fine. Let''s go out."

    "Mm."

    After her subordinates left, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes. Shey quietly and thought about the next countermeasure.<novelnext></novelnext>

    The ship floated quietly. No one noticed that under the vast sea, a ck nine-pointed star was slowly operating.

    In the desert hundreds of miles away, thunderclouds surged in the sky. A strong wind brought up the sand, filling the air with the smell of yellow sand.

    This was the first time the new staff had seen such a scene. "Do you smell anything very disgusting?? Why do I feel that it smells like blood?"

    "A little. I heard that this ce is a little strange. Thest group of people who came to work here did not go back at all. Arge group of people from our side have gathered to seek justice."

    "Huh? I haven''t heard of it yet. If you know that something''s wrong, why are you still working here? I keep feeling that although it''s hot here, it gives off a gloomy feeling. My heart tingles. What do you think?"

    "Sigh, isn''t it because I don''t have money? You know that the sry here is two to three times that of the outside world. So what if it''s a dragon''s pool or a tiger''s den? People die for wealth, and birds die for food. It''s fine as long as we can earn some money."

    The two of them were talking when the manager saw them chatting and shouted, "I told you toe to work. What are you doing?! Go to the cave over there and clean it up!"

    "Okay, okay." After being scolded by the manager, the two of them immediately fell silent and obediently followed the manager''s request to the cave beside them.

    When they entered the cave, the two of them felt that something was wrong. When their eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and they saw the scene in the cave, the two of them screamed and ran out.

    However, the cave that had been opened just now was sealed.

    The two of them screamed as they searched for the exit. In the middle, the two of them realized in despair that there seemed to be many people shouting in despair from a wall away.

    That cry was tragic. It was a desperate struggle and copse.

    The two of them''s psychological defense copsed. "It''s over. The rumors outside are true!! We can''t get out!!"

    However, it was toote to say anything now. The temperature in the cave began to rise. The sparks ignited the gasoline that had been ced in the cave at some point in time. Countless figures struggled in the fire. At the same time, the array looked even redder.

    The vast sky was cloudless, and the desert was steaming with astonishing heat. The entire world seemed to bepletely still. No one expected that under the desert, there were raging mes.

    At this moment, everyone around Guiyuan Ind had basically arrived.

    The moment everyone stepped onto the ind, someone sensed that something was wrong.

    "That''s not right, right?? Why do I feel that there''s something wrong with the person who came??"

    After someone''s reminder, everyone looked around and revealed the same surprised expression.

    In this alliance meeting, all the famous forces in World A and World D were actually here?!!

    Looking at those families that were usually friends or enemies, everyone had a bad feeling.

    How did this look like an alliance?

    It was good that the negotiation had seeded. If it failed, wouldn''t the forces of the entire be overturned??

    "We small fries won''te and join in the fun." Some small families felt that the situation was not right and prepared to run.

    However, it was toote.

    "Why are you running?? Anyone whoes is a guest." The ck-robed man slowly walked into the venue with his subordinates.

    His head was covered with a ck cloth, making it impossible to see his expression. However, hearing his cold tone, everyone''s hearts suddenly turned cold.

    ......

 Chapter 1526 Winner

    Looking at Jiang Qing''s ck robe, everyone was originally wondering who had entered just like that and did not dare to show their faces. However, some more meticulous people quickly remembered someone.

    "I heard that the governor of the Hidden Continent is covered in a ck robe all year round. I don''t believe that a nameless person can attend today''s meeting. This should be the legendary sect master, right?"

    "Really?? That person has never appeared in public before. He actually came to the alliance meeting this time. Why do I feel that something is getting more and more wrong?"

    "So you''re the sect master of the Hidden Continent. Sect Master, I don''t quite understand what you''re saying. Could it be that you want to stop me if I want to leave?" A not very famous patriarch stood up. "Although Sect Master, you''re very powerful, you should be..."

    Bang. Before this person could finish speaking, Jiang Qing suddenly raised his arm. The small gun under his sleeve was emitting faint smoke. In front of him, the person who had just argued rationally had already fallen to the ground.

    Jiang Qing nced indifferently at the person lying on the ground. He retracted his gun and stood quietly, a powerful intimidation.

    Looking at the sudden scene in front of them, everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Qing in surprise. "Sect Master, what are you doing??"

    Lin Qingyuan and Chu Yi were also here. They looked at each other and rm bells rang in their hearts. The invitation Jiang Qing had sent did not say that today would be like this.

    Before Jiang Qing could speak, a strong vibration suddenly came from not far away. Everyone looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a fleet moving over. That kind of ship was not a civilian ship at all, but filled with all sorts of weapons.

    Apanying the ship was the ne circling in the sky. The jets seemed to have stirred the clouds in the sky, causing everyone to panic.

    The sky was quite gloomy that day. The strong wind threw the waves high and back at the cabin. It was wrapped in cold water vapor that sshed on people''s faces, making their hearts subconsciously turn cold.

    Everyone was not stupid. Seeing this scene, they had a bad feeling. They could more or less guess that this meeting was most likely a trap. What did the sect master of Hidden Continent want to do?? Why did he cause such a hugemotion?

    With the previous lesson, no one dared to stand up and say it even if they had doubts. Everyone could only look at Jun Shiling for help.

    Jun Shiling did not seem surprised by the current situation at all. He looked at Jiang Qing. "Sect Master Jiang, there''s no need to make an example out of him."

    Hearing Jun Shiling address him, Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow. "Looks like Xia Wanyuan really trusts you and is willing to tell you anything."

    "You don''t have to worry about that, Sect Master," Jun Shiling replied calmly.

    Jiang Qing looked behind Jun Shiling. "Didn''t CEO June with Xia Wei? Why don''t I see Xia Wei now?"

    "Jiang Qing, I''m afraid you''ve forgotten your identity." Xia Wei walked out from another direction and looked at Jiang Qing quietly.

    Xia Wei was dressed in ck and exuded a strong aura. If not for the fact that everyone present had seen big scenes, they would really be frightened by Xia Wei''s aura.

    Looking at Xia Wei walk out of the crowd, everyone present was shocked. Who is this person? How can he have such a powerful aura? I''ve never heard of any new person in any family?

    Chu Man was also standing in the crowd at this moment, watching Xia Wei walk up step by step. His usually gentle face was now covered in frost.

    At this moment, Chu Man felt a little real. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that the current Xia Wei might be his truest appearance.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Sensing everyone''s gazes on him, Xia Wei scanned the crowd. When he nced at Chu Man, he paused for a moment.

    However, in the end, Xia Wei still looked away and looked ahead again.

    Seeing Xia Wei again after so many years, Jiang Qing''s eyes flickered. "How did you wake up?"

    Over the years, he had been looking for a way to revive Xia Wei.

    In his previous life, he had fought with Xia Wei for so long. Jiang Qing knew Xia Wei''s ability very well. Hence, even though he had been reborn three hundred years ago and knew where Xia Wei''s tomb was, he had never gotten Xia Wei out early.

    Because the time of the nine stars was today. If Xia Wei was revived early, he was worried that there would be additional problems. In the end, Xia Wanyuan, this person who caused additional problems, appeared.

    Because of Xia Wanyuan''s appearance, three years ago, Jiang Qing could not sit still anymore. He released those news and got Xia Wei''s tomb to be found, letting Chu Yi revive Xia Wei step by step. However, because of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling''s obstruction, in the end, he even threw away Xia Wei''s corpse.

    Now, Xia Wei was standing in front of him perfectly fine. Jiang Qing could not help but feel a little puzzled. Could it be that there were other ways to revive??

    Xia Wei stared into Jiang Qing''s eyes. "It''s probably an order from the heavens. They asked me to retrieve everything from back then."

    In his previous life, in order to revive Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei had been identally deceived by Jiang Qing and was pulled into the nine-star rotation array.

    His family and citizens were buried in history. Xia Wei owed them this.

    Hearing Xia Wei''s words, Jiang Qing sneered. "You were the one who was stupid back then. If you didn''t have a royal sister like Xia Wanyuan, do you think that position could be yours??"

    Until now, Jiang Qing still insisted that if his family had been around back then and could fight alongside him, he might have been the one to obtain the throne. It would not have been Xia Wei''s turn at all.

    The onlookers watched as Jiang Qing and Xia Wei exchanged blows. No one understood a word they said.

    This was Xia Wanyuan''s younger brother?? Did they leave out important information??

    Xia Wei looked at Jiang Qing coldly. "Once you lost to me, you would lose to me for eternity."

    These words were Jiang Qing''s curse. When Xia Wei said this, Jiang Qing''s expression changed. "Okay, then you can try and see who the final winner is."

    Speaking of this, Jiang Qing''s anger from Xia Wei eased a lot.

    So what if Xia Wei had obtained the throne in his previous life? In this life, he had woken up three hundred years before Xia Wei. In these three hundred years, he had already made sufficient preparations.

    As the only person in the world who was from the hidden family, ever since he woke up three hundred years ago, Jiang Qing had already nned everything in the past few hundred years. He had prepared for so long, and he had managed those people for so long.

    This victory was mine, Jiang Qing''s.

 Chapter 1527 Going Back

    Xia Wei did not react to Jiang Qing''s words. He only sneered. "Then let''s wait and see."

    Seeing the two of them at each other''s throats, everyone really wanted to run. However, with Jun Shiling and Jiang Qing guarding, there was no chance to run now.

    Everyone looked at each other and saw regret in each other''s eyes.

    Seeing that the atmosphere had fallen to the freezing point, Chu Yi stood up. "Sect Master Jiang, why are you angry? Since today is the alliance meeting, Sect Master Jiang, you''re magnanimous. There''s no need to argue with a nameless person."

    Jiang Qing ignored Chu Yi''s words and looked at Xia Wei. "Where''s Xia Wanyuan?"

    "She has something on."

    "Ha." Jiang Qing''s expression was cold. "I wonder what''s more important than her children''s lives."

    "Let''s talk inside," Jun Shiling, who had been silent, suddenly said.

    "No." Xia Wanyuan was the core of everything. Without seeing Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Qing did not n to go in at all.

    "I didn''t expect you to still be so persistent about me after so many years." Lu Li''s voice appeared behind Jiang Qing.

    Jiang Qing suddenly turned around and saw Lu Li, "Xia Wanyuan", walking out of the venue.

    "Xia Wanyuan." After looking for Xia Wanyuan for so long, this was the first time Jiang Qing had faced her directly. Looking at the familiar eyes, Jiang Qing''s emotions were a littleplicated.

    Jiang Qing undoubtedly hated Xia Wanyuan very much. If not for Xia Wanyuan, he would have already killed Xia Wei in the battle of Wu Mountain back then. There would not have been theter Emperor Xia Yuan.

    However, to a certain extent, Xia Wanyuan had left a deep mark in Jiang Qing''s heart, because Xia Wanyuan was the opponent who knew him the best. In that war to vie for the world, Xia Wanyuan was the only opponent at the top of the sky and the onlypanion.

    "Long time no see." Lu Li stood quietly with a condescending calmness between her eyebrows.

    Being stared at like this evoked the memory that Jiang Qing had the deepest impression of Xia Wanyuan.

    In his previous life, when the Great Xia Dynasty restored the country, as the defeated party, Jiang Qing was escorted into the capital. At that time, he sat in the prison car and looked at the figure on the city wall from afar.

    The scene of Xia Wanyuan epting the worship of all the officials had always been imprinted in his mind. At that time, Xia Wanyuan had the same gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan, who was standing on the high tform, seemed to be looking down on everything. The thought of ruthlessly stepping on Xia Wanyuan had perhaps begun from that moment.

    Jiang Qing''s expression suddenly darkened. He sneered. "Let''s go in and talk."

    With that, Jiang Qing turned around and walked towards the building in the middle of Guiyuan Ind.

    The others wanted to follow, but the bodyguards stopped them.

    "Everyone, stay where you are. You''re not allowed to leave this ind."

    Looking at the fully armed guns in the bodyguards'' hands, everyone could only sit obediently in the area circled by the bodyguards.

    At this moment, a hundred kilometers away from the ind, Xia Wanyuan had sessfully left the ship guarded by the bodyguards and was rushing to Guiyuan Ind at full speed.

    All the buildings on Guiyuan Ind were in the ancient style that Jiang Qing liked. At this moment, in the small courtyard in the middle, everyone was sitting around a sandalwood table.

    "Tell me, why did you get us here?" Lu Li looked straight at Jiang Qing. "What method does my child need to survive?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    "It''s very simple." Jiang Qing pulled off the ck cloth covering his head, revealing an extremely young face. "You need to be willing to sacrifice."

    "What sacrifice?" Lu Li frowned slightly. "I don''t understand."

    "Tonight is the day the nine stars are connected. Thest time such a constetion existed was a thousand years ago." Jiang Qing looked into Lu Li''s eyes. "I want you to sacrifice for the array at midnight tonight. If you do this, I''ll help you break the curse on your child."

    Before Lu Li could speak, Xia Wei had already stood up. "Impossible. What exactly do you want??"

    Suddenly, Xia Wei seemed to have thought of something and looked at Jiang Qing in shock.

    "You want to go back???!!!"

    All along, their thoughts had entered a misunderstanding. They thought that the reversal of time was irreversible. However, now, Xia Wei suddenly had an epiphany.

    Since time could jump to a thousand yearster, why couldn''t it go back to a thousand years ago?

    Previously, Xia Wei had guessed that Jiang Qing''s goal of tricking him into opening the Nine Stars Rotation Array a thousand years ago was to take revenge and make him and Xia Wanyuan disappear from that era forever, making the entire Great Xia Dynasty disappear from history.

    However, at this moment, Xia Wei suddenly seemed to understand.

    Perhaps from the beginning, Jiang Qing''s goal was not revenge, but to turn back time.

    Back then, Jiang Qing wanted to return to before the war began, and the current Jiang Qing wanted to return to the Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago.

    Jiang Qing was not flustered at all that Xia Wei had guessed his thoughts. He smiled faintly. "I''ve said it before. The winner will not be revealed until thest moment."

    "That child," Jun Shiling said. "How can they escape the oue of dying young?"

    "They''ve suffered in Xia Wanyuan''s ce. As long as a loved one is willing to sacrifice and let everything return to its original position, their existence will naturally be reasonable."

    Hearing Jiang Qing''s words, Jun Shiling''s eyes darkened. "Are you sure?"

    "You can choose not to believe me." Jiang Qing smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Do you think there''s a second person in this world who understands this?"

    Before Jun Shiling could speak, Lu Li turned to look at Jun Shiling with infinite love. Then, she looked at Jiang Qing. "I can."

    Jun Shiling suddenly frowned. "No!"

    Looking at the two of them arguing intensely, Jiang Qing smiled. "I''ll give you five minutes to consider. I''ll wait for you in front of the divine pir over there."

    With that, Jiang Qing stood up and left.

    No one knew what Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had discussed in the venue, but five minutester, "Xia Wanyuan" walked out of the venue alone. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

    Looking at the clearly fragile Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Qing sneered. "Your luck is really good. In your previous life, you had your two useless parents to protect you. Now that you''re in a different world, you can still make a man let go of everything for you. As expected of the number one beauty. Your methods are amazing."

    ''Xia Wanyuan'' did not care about Jiang Qing''s provocation at all. She was clearly still a little fragile just now, but when she looked at Jiang Qing, she had recovered her extreme coldness.

    "What do you need me to do?"

    "Follow me." Jiang Qing nced at Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei. "It''s time for you to leave this world that doesn''t belong to us with me."

 Chapter 1528 Untitled

    Hearing Jiang Qing''s words, Xia Wei subconsciously nced at Lu Li.

    However, Lu Li walked forward quietly without any expression.

    Xia Wei took a step back and gently touched Jun Shiling''s arm. "If anything happenster, leave immediately with my sister."

    Jun Shiling replied, "I know."

    With Jun Shiling''s promise, Xia Wei rxed a little and followed Jiang Qing in.

    On the long narrow path, a group of people was slowly moving. At this moment, outside the coast, a storm wasing. Everyone squeezed together and sighed.

    Lin Qingyuan nced at Xuan Sheng, who was lowering his head, and a hint of mockery shed across his eyes. "CEO Xuan, why didn''t I see Xia Wanyuan bring you in? Oh, right, you don''t seem to have anything to do with her. It''s hard for you to run all the way here."

    Xuan Sheng lowered his head and did not even look up at Lin Qingyuan. "So? It can''tpare to Master Lin personally strangling his child."

    When Xuan Sheng said this, Lin Qingyuan''s expression changed.

    Two years ago, Su Yueran got pregnant again. This time, she gave birth safely.

    However, the rise of the Lin family had actually offended many people. While Su Yueran was in the hospital to protect the baby, an enemy sneaked in and drugged Su Yueran and the child.

    In the beginning, Lin Qingyuan had also invited someone to treat the child, but the other party nned carefully and no famous doctor could treat the child.

    At this moment, the other party made a request to Lin Qingyuan, asking him to take out ten billion yuan. If he could do it, he would give the antidote to Lin Qingyuan. If he could not, the antidote would never appear.

    Ten billion was a huge amount, but it was not as difficult as ascending to the sky for Lin Qingyuan.

    Everyone thought that Lin Qingyuan would quickly produce the money to save his child, but no one expected to hear the news of Lin Qingyuan''s child''s death.

    The people thought that Lin Qingyuan''s child had passed away from illness. Only a few people who knew the inside story knew that Lin Qingyuan had clearly killed his child himself because he did not want to be threatened by others.

    This was something Lin Qingyuan had always wanted to hide. He did not expect Xuan Sheng to say it so directly in front of everyone. His face turned a little green.

    Lin Qingyuan fell silent. The others looked at this strange atmosphere and stayed silent.

    On the other hand, Jiang Qing brought people in for about five minutes before they arrived at a twenty-meter-long divine pir in the middle.

    From afar, one could only see a ck pir that was ordinary. It was only when one approached that they could see that this divine pir was filled with all sorts ofplicated patterns. Sandalwood and golden silk cedar surrounded the divine pir, and all sorts of ancient patterns were carved on it.

    What attracted the most attention on this divine pir were the nine ck dragons surrounding it.

    These ck dragons circled the divine pir in all shapes and sizes, looking awe-inspiring.

    However, dragons clearly represented majestic and auspicious totems. At this moment, the ck dragon on the divine pir revealed an obvious strangeness and an inexplicable evil aura.

    Jun Shiling watched from afar and felt that there was something wrong with the divine dragons around the divine pir. He focused for a while and finally knew what made him feel strange.

    The nine dragons actually did not have eyes. Their empty eyes were dark and looked especially terrifying. The nine dragons circled and looked at the sky, as if they were waiting for something.

    Jiang Qing stood in front of the divine pir and reached out to press the mechanism beside him. The mechanism gradually withdrew, and theplicated structure gradually changed. The lotus bloomed, the thick fog spread, and the heavenly dragons circled. The entire divine pir began to fall, and a pce that was spreading a strange aura rose from the ground.

    At this moment, the weather became even gloomier. Tiny raindrops even began to fall from the sky. The clouds not far away surged with a thick ck color. The ck clouds pressed down on the entire temple, revealing a thick pressure.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jiang Qing turned around and nced at Lu Li and Xia Wei. "Let''s go."

    Lu Li and Xia Wei looked at each other, then nodded and walked in together.

    Jun Shiling wanted to follow, but just as he took a step, a group of people walked over and blocked Jun Shiling at the door.

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s worried expression, Jiang Qing sneered and looked at Lu Li.

    "How did you make me part with my family back then? Today, I''ll let you try the feeling of parting with your loved ones."

    The Jiang family was originally a family of the Great Xia Dynasty. Because Xia Wanyuan''s father had reduced his military power, they gradually rebelled. The destruction of the Xia Dynasty was quite rted to the Jiang family''s betrayal.

    Later on, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei restored the country and established the Great Xia Dynasty again. The reckoning of the rebels back then began.

    The entire Jiang family had been uprooted. Jiang Qing had personally seen his parents and rtives die under the guillotine.

    Even though it had been a thousand years, Jiang Qing''s hatred for the entire Xia family had never changed.

    Even though he had already be one of the strongest people here, to Jiang Qing, his obsession was still the Xia Dynasty from a thousand years ago.

    With that, Jiang Qing gestured for his subordinate to bring Jun Shiling aside. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. "Let''s go."

    "How are you going to save my children?" Lu Li looked at Jiang Qing. "If you don''t say it, I can''t go in."

    Jiang Qing took out a ck stone from his arms. "Take this and sacrifice it with it. As long as you die, all the injustice will dissipate, and the influence of the Nine Stars Rotation Array on this era will disappear. Your children will naturally be fine."

    "What if you lie to me?"

    Jiang Qing sneered. "I lie to you?? Do you think there''s a need for me to worry about the people and things of this era??"

    Lu Li hesitated for a moment before taking the ck stone from Jiang Qing. "Alright, let''s go in."

    As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Li turned to look at Jun Shiling. Looking at Jun Shiling, Xuan Sheng''s figure appeared in her mind. Lu Li''s eyes were filled with strong reluctance. She smiled at Jun Shiling. "I''m leaving."

    At this moment, Jun Shiling suddenly broke free from the restraints of the person beside him and took a step forward. "I''ll go with you."

    Lu Li did not expect Jun Shiling to do this at all. Her eyes widened. "What did you say?"

    That was not what Yu Qian had instructed me. What was Jun Shiling doing?

    Jun Shiling walked forward and signed Lu Li''s hand, his eyes filled with love. "I''ve already arranged things in Beijing. If you''re destined to leave, I want to be with you. I don''t want to stay alone in a world without you."

    "No." Lu Li rejected decisively.

    However, Jiang Qing seemed to be a little interested. He looked at Xia Wanyuan, whose expression was not good, and mockery appeared in his eyes.

    He felt that what Xia Wanyuan was unhappy about was quite worth being happy about.

    "Who said no?? I think it''s quite good."

    ......-

 Chapter 1529 The Princess Arrives

    He suddenly felt that letting Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling part ways in life was not the best way to make Xia Wanyuan sad, because Jun Shiling was still alive and well in this world.

    To Xia Wanyuan, seeing Jun Shiling alive and well was not a punishment. On the contrary, it was the greatest happiness.

    If Jun Shiling died for her, it would definitely be the most painful thing for Xia Wanyuan.

    Thinking of this, Jiang Qing made a decision. He gestured to his subordinate. "Bring Jun Shiling over too."

    "Yes."

    Xia Wei stood at the side and watched quietly. His gaze had been focused on Lu Li. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, as if he had guessed something.

    Jiang Qing and Xia Wanyuan were not familiar with each other and could not tell that the Xia Wanyuan in front of him was different. He had been by Xia Wanyuan''s side since he was young and could tell the difference the moment he saw Lu Li.

    Lu Li had actually learned very well from Xia Wanyuan, but there was one thing she did not grasp, and that was Xia Wanyuan''s emotions.

    When Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling and Xia Wei, her gaze was different. Only those who were very familiar with Xia Wanyuan would know this difference.

    Lu Li was not Xia Wanyuan. When she looked at Xia Wei, there was deliberate gentleness in her eyes. When Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Wei, that gentleness emitted from her bones. Anyone who had been by Xia Wanyuan''s side for a long time could feel it.

    He had originally thought that Jun Shiling wanted to get a scapegoat to die with Jiang Qing on Xia Wanyuan''s behalf. He was even prepared to cooperate with Jun Shiling. However, seeing that Jun Shiling was actually going to enter together, Xia Wei seemed to understand something.

    Jiang Qing was so persistent in finding Xia Wanyuan because Xia Wanyuan had some characteristic he needed. This characteristic definitely did not exist in this fake Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wei felt that the most likely thing was that Xia Wanyuan was the most yin person who matched the nine-star consecutive heavenly phenomenon. Back then, his yang nature could suppress the suppression of the nine-star rotation array. Now, Xia Wanyuan could also suppress the bacsh of the array.

    If Jiang Qing discovered this difference, he would definitely not let the matter rest.

    As long as Lu Li entered the array, she would be seen through.

    Jun Shiling insisted on following her in. Could it be that he wanted to confuse Jiang Qing''s judgment on Xia Wanyuan''s behalf??

    Xia Wei frowned. "Jun Shiling, you..."

    "I love your royal sister." Jun Shiling looked straight at Jiang Qing. "So I''m willing to do anything."

    Jiang Qing looked into Jun Shiling''s eyes. At this moment, only the two of them knew what they were saying.

    Xia Wei finally sighed. "Mm."

    He knew that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had a good rtionship, but he had never thought that other than his parents and rtives, there was such a person who crossed time and space and loved Xia Wanyuan wholeheartedly.

    If Xia Wei had acknowledged Jun Shiling previously, at this moment, Xia Wei felt that only Jun Shiling was worthy of his sister''s love in this world.

    Looking at the worried Xia Wei and Jun Shiling, Jiang Qing smiled smugly. "Come, the loving Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling? Today, this ce is to bury your mausoleum."

    With that, Jiang Qing walked in. Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wei, and the two of them reached a consensus.

    No matter what happened, the two of them would protect Xia Wanyuan and let her sessfully survive in this era.<novelnext></novelnext>

    At this moment, at the edge of the ind, everyone was guarded by bodyguards. All the signals were blocked, and anyone who secretly brought weapons in was killed by the guards.

    With such an example, the people behind obediently handed over the weapons they had hidden in private.

    On the coast, the leaders of the usually high and mighty families were drenched in the rain in a sorry state, not knowing how the road ahead was.

    Chu Man was drenched in the rain, and her already beautiful facial features became even more beautiful in the rain, attracting arge number of gazes.

    However, at this moment, she ignored these gazes. She looked in the direction of the temple worriedly and clenched her pants tightly, her face clearly anxious.

    "I really didn''t expect my all-powerful sister to have such a day." Chu Yi looked at Chu Man with interest and admired the expression on Chu Man''s face with a faint smile.

    "I can''tpare to you." Chu Man retracted her gaze from the temple and looked at Chu Yi coldly. "Do you think the woman you''re protecting knows what you''ve done?"

    When Chu Man said this, Chu Yi''s aura clearly changed. His eyes froze. "What did you say?"

    "Ha." Chu Man sneered. "I say, the Chu family is the most infatuated. Let''s notugh at each other. Even if Xia Wei and I can''t be together, we''re at least friends. What about you? Your sweetheart can''t wait for you to die immediately."

    Chu Man''s words were like a sharp knife that stabbed straight at Chu Yi. Chu Yi wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.

    The surrounding people trembled as they listened to their conversation.

    Everyone thought to themselves that they did not know if they could get out of here alive.

    Now that these big shots had exposed each other, even if they could survive, they would still be silenced.

    Help!! We really did not want to know who you loved, who loved you, who killed their son, and who protected who.

    The world of the big shots was really exciting.

    Just as there was silence, the sound of an aircraft suddenly came from not far away. Everyone looked up. The aircraft passed countless guards, broke through arge number of guards, and headed straight for the temple.

    Countless barriers were set up around this ind. The aircraft rushed in so roughly, causing intense friction with the various barriers. Wherever it passed, sparks flickered.

    "What''s going on today? Who is this?? I deeply doubt if we can really go back alive."

    "The person in the driver''s seat seems to be a woman. Who is here to save her husband again? Her aircraft should be the most advanced model on the market."

    Through the rain, Xuan Sheng looked at the aircraft seriously. When the aircraft flew past the sky, he narrowed his eyes. Why does the woman in the driver''s seat look so much like Xia Wanyuan?!

    Xuan Sheng''s eyes suddenly widened. He stood up. However, just as he stood up, the ck muzzle pointed at him. "Sit."

    Xuan Sheng looked into the distance and then at the gun in front of him. In the end, he sat down.

    In the rain, the aircraft''s speed increased to the extreme. The guards wanted to stop her, but they could not.

    ...

 Chapter 1530 Entering The Temple

    Everyone was puzzled by this woman who suddenly barged in. "Who is this? She''s really bold toe here at this time."

    Someone recalled the side profile they had just seen and was puzzled. Xia Wanyuan''s face was too recognizable. Why did that woman look like Xia Wanyuan?

    "She just shed past. Why do I feel that this person is a little like Xia Wanyuan, who had just entered?"

    "No way. Didn''t Xia Wanyuan go in¡­ Why is this godforsaken ce so strange?"

    After being reminded, the others recalled the side profile they had just seen. It was indeed very simr to Xia Wanyuan.

    However, when Jiang Qing entered the temple, hadn''t he already brought Xia Wanyuan over?

    Just as everyone was discussing, Chu Man, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the temple. Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Chu Man.

    Watching Chu Man leave, Xuan Sheng''s eyes narrowed. He strode to Chu Man''s side. "You want to go in?"

    Chu Man had never had much patience for men other than Xia Wei. She nced at Xuan Sheng. "Coward."

    So what if Xia Wei did not like her? The man she, Chu Man, liked had to follow her even if he did not like her. Even if he died, he had to die in her hands. She was unwilling to sit here and wait for death.

    Chu Man''s style had never been to sit here and wait for others to tell her the oue of the matter. Even if he died, she had to watch Xia Wei die.

    With that, Chu Man left without hesitation.

    After being scolded by Chu Man, Xuan Sheng did not have any other expression. Although she was a woman, she was more carefree and decisive than anyone here. Xuan Sheng shook his head and followed Chu Man towards the temple.

    Watching Chu Man leave, Chu Yi''s eyes flickered. For some reason, he suddenly stood up. "Wait."

    Chu Man stopped and watched Chu Yi approach step by step. "Is there a problem?"

    "No." At this moment, beyond life and death, the hatred between the two families was temporarily pulled away. Looking at his sister, who looked a little like him, Chu Yi pursed his lips. "No matter what happened before, I hope you''re safe at this moment."

    Chu Man looked at Chu Yi in surprise. "Thank you."

    When she was young, Chu Man had once chased after Chu Yi and called him brother. She had also acted coquettishly to Chu Yi and said that she would always be his sister. Unfortunately, time passed.

    Because of the fallout between the two heads of the Chu family, Chu Man and Chu Yi also divided into two factions.

    Under the guidance of the elders of both sides, the two of them were gradually controlled by the power of hatred. On thend of Continent F, the two of them should have joined forces to sweep through Continent F, but because of hatred, they had been divided for a long time and upied Continent F. Neither was willing to obey the other.

    As time passed, Chu Man and Chu Yi were no longer the same as before.

    Ever since they parted ways when they were young, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Those silhouettes of their youth were hidden in their memories and had nevere out again.

    However, at this moment, facing the farewell of life and death, all hatred seemed pale and powerless.

    The figure of his youth jumped into Chu Yi''s mind. He remembered that he had once told Chu Man that he would always protect his sister, Chu Man.

    While the two of them were talking, the guard sensed that there was amotion here and had already walked over with his weapon. "What are you talking about? Aren''t you going to squat down? Are you courting death?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    With that, the guard took out his iron rod and prepared to hit the two of them.

    Chu Man''s eyes turned cold. Her wrist had already moved slightly. Chu Yi took a step forward and stood in front of Chu Man. Xuan Sheng also moved. The few of them looked expressionless, but they were already prepared to fight to the death.

    At this moment, the guard''smunicator suddenly rang.

    Looking at the caller''s name, surprise shed across the guard''s eyes. It was actually a first-ss officer who had called him directly.

    The guard put down the steel rod that he had already raised and walked to the side to answer themunicator. It was unknown what themunicator said, but when the guard returned, he had already agreed to let Chu Man and the rest enter casually.

    "Go in. The others can go in even if they want to. Those who don''t go in, stay here obediently. Otherwise, be careful of the iron rod."

    Hearing the guard''s words, everyone looked at the temple not far away with a strange aura and sat quietly on the spot.

    Hehe, only a fool would go. That ce was definitely a tomb. If we went, we would be courting death.

    Only Xuan Sheng and Chu Man turned around and left without hesitation, heading straight for the temple.

    Watching the two of them leave, everyone was stunned. They thought to themselves that there were really fools.

    At this moment, at the entrance of the temple, Xia Wanyuan had already gotten out of the aircraft. When the person in charge of guarding saw someone break in, he stopped her.

    "Don''t move. Put down all your weapons, or I''ll shoot you immediately. Raise your hands!!"

    =As the guard spoke, he raised his hand at Xia Wanyuan.

    However, when he saw Xia Wanyuan''s face, the guard was a little stunned. Because this face had appeared ten minutes ago. It was clearly Xia Wanyuan!

    The guard had his back facing the temple. In addition, all his attention was on Xia Wanyuan, so he did not notice that behind him, the towering temple was gradually falling, and the speed of its descent was getting faster and faster.

    Xia Wanyuan nced at the gradually falling temple and knew that it was about to disappear. She stared into the guard''s eyes. "I''m the real Xia Wanyuan. If you don''t let me in, if your sect master mes you, you can''t bear the responsibility at all."

    Xia Wanyuan''s aura was too strong, and the guard was stunned by her. "I¡­"

    "Move." The temple fell faster and faster. Xia Wanyuan almost wanted to enter anxiously and scolded the guard sternly.

    The guard was shocked by Xia Wanyuan''s reprimand. While the guard was in a daze, Xia Wanyuan shed into the temple.

    Not long after Xia Wanyuan entered, Chu Man and Xuan Sheng arrived.

    Seeing this towering temple, Xuan Sheng and Chu Man turned cold. What surprised them even more was that this temple was actually falling!!

    The descent of the temple became faster and faster. It was only halfway down. Seeing that the door was about to close, if they did not go down now, they would never be able to go down again.

    Chu Man did not hesitate and jumped in. Xuan Sheng followed closely behind.

    The guard stood at the door and was stunned.

 Chapter 1531 Destiny

    When this temple was designed, one could only enter and note out. Now that he saw three people jump in in a row, the guard really could not understand. Were they courting death?

    ording to the process, the abnormal situation here should be reported to Jiang Qing. The guard called Jiang Qing, but there was a notification on the phone.

    "The number you called is not in the service area."

    The guard was about to look for the other leaders when he was surprised to discover that the ground under his feet seemed to have a suction force that grabbed him tightly on the spot. There was no possibility of him leaving.

    The guard panicked and tried his best to leave, but it was all in vain.

    ? Because the temple was constantly falling, the moment Xia Wanyuan entered the temple, all sorts of broken beams began to smash at her.

    Wood shavings and gravel floated down like snowkes, apanied by the thunder of sleep.

    The thunderous sounds seemed toe from afar, shaking the entire space, as if it wanted to knock into one''s heart.

    Xia Wanyuan jumped repeatedly between the gravel. From time to time, falling rocks would hit her, cutting a long hole in her delicate skin. However, at this moment, Xia Wanyuan could not care less. She ignored the injuries on her body and only wanted to find a ce tond.

    After some time, the shaking of the temple gradually stopped. The entire temple seemed to have finallynded on solid ground. The gravel gradually decreased, and the thunderps became more and more rumbling, as if they were about to explode one''s ears. At this moment, Xia Wanyuan hadnded in front of a ck river.

    This long river waspletely ck and did not fluctuate at all. Furthermore, it was a pool of stagnant water that did not flow at all. Ity quietly like a painting.

    This ck river emitted a thick aura of death. There was a long snow-white bridge on the river that extended far away. ck and white intersected, extremelyparing the silence in this space, making one''s heart turn cold.

    There were some messy footprints on the snow-white bridge. Xia Wanyuan walked over to take a look. Some of the footprints were the shoes Jun Shiling liked to wear usually. It seemed that they had left from here.

    Furthermore, from the depth of the footprints, it seemed that Jiang Qing and the rest had not gone far. Xia Wanyuan stepped onto the long bridge and quickly walked to the other side.

    At this moment, inside the array formation, Jiang Qing had already brought the others to the edge of the core.

    This was a ce half the size of a football field. Nine ck dragons circled in the sky, just like the ck dragons on the temple outside. The ck dragons here did not have eyes and only circled quietly without any life.

    In the middle of the array was a bright red ck lotus. This ck lotus was very huge and had a diameter of about five meters. Every petal had more than ten thousandplicated patterns. If one looked carefully, every pattern was different. There were also some incantations carved beside the patterns. Other than Jiang Qing, naturally, no one recognized this incantation.

    This ck lotus was silent and gloomy without any vitality. Just looking at it made one''s heart tremble, just like everything else in this temple.

    There were clearly gods and Buddhas that filled the sky and had a holy appearance, but there was an aura of death everywhere, making one feel the coldness here from the bones.

    "You, stand over there." Jiang Qing nced at Lu Li and pointed at the center of the array.

    Lu Li gripped the ck stone tightly in her hand. She nced at Jun Shiling, who nodded at her and pulled Lu Li''s hand towards the center of the array.

    Just as the two of them stepped into the center, a dark red light rose from the center of the array formation. This light shone on the two of them, and their bodies actually reflected a faint fluorescent light.

    As this fluorescent light seeped into the surroundings, there was a faint dragon cry in the array. On the backs of the nine spiraling dragons, there was actually a faint phosphorescence. The entire array seemed to have been injected with vitality and began to glow faintly.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Looking at everything, surprise shed across Jiang Qing''s eyes. He took out the nine jade cauldrons he had taken from Jun Shiling and looked at Xia Wei. "You, hurry up."

    Looking at Jun Shiling and Lu Li, who had already entered the array, Xia Wei pursed his lips. He reached out and bit through them with his teeth. Then, he aimed his bleeding finger at the jade cauldron and blood dripped into it bit by bit.

    As Xia Wei''s emperor''s blood surged in, the snow-white jade cauldron began to gradually change color. A blood-red color surrounded the entire jade cauldron. Almost instantly, the nine jade cauldrons in front of him turned blood-red. The incantations and patterns on the jade cauldron began to be obvious, and a faint red light like the array appeared.

    Jiang Qing chanted a few incantations at the jade cauldron. Then, he raised his hand and threw a jade cauldron. The jade cauldron was instantly embedded into the eye of a ck dragon.

    Because of the jade cauldron, the scales on the originally motionless ck dragon began to sway, and its circling tail swayed slightly.

    Jiang Qing did not stop what he was doing and sent the jade cauldrons to the eyes of the remaining eight ck dragons.

    As thest jade cauldron returned, the ck dragon of the nine heavens instantly turned blood-red. A dragon roar shook the entire space.

    The blood dragon in the middle rose from the ground and rushed straight up before diving down. The other blood dragons also surged up and down.

    The entire space seemed to have been awakened by this dragon. Everything that was originally dead silent began to be injected with power.

    When Xia Wanyuan was walking halfway, the ck river began to gradually flow faster and faster.

    When the ck river surged, it was even more terrifying than when it was still.

    At this moment, deep in the sea ten kilometers away from the ind, Bo Xiao stood by the window of the submarine and quietly looked in Jun Shiling''s direction. On the submarine beside him, there was some kind of fluctuation, and circles of water ripples slowly spread out.

    "Sir, the priest and the rest have already begun."

    "I know." Bo Xiao waved his hand. "You guys can leave. I''ll stay for a while myself."

    "Yes."

    Jun Shiling had searched the world for these priests who could use traditional spells to temporarily change a person''s fate.

    From this moment onwards, Jun Shiling had the destiny of beingpletely Yin. This was the reason why he could enter the array on Xia Wanyuan''s behalf.

    Not far away, a red light began to sh. Looking at the abnormality over there, the subordinate came to report to Bo Xiao, but he was blocked by Bo Xiao.

    "Don''t worry about it. Just wait."

    At this moment, they could not help Jun Shiling or anything. They would only know the final oue after Jun Shiling ended.

    ...-

 Chapter 1532 Array Activated

    At this moment, in the array formation, the light in Jiang Qing''s eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at the huge dragon churning up and down.

    The fluctuations in the array became more and more intense, as if something was about to break through the suppression and soar into the sky. He pointed at Xia Wei. "Go over there. You know where to stand."

    Yes, Xia Wei was indeed clear because in his previous life, the array was also led by Xia Wei.

    In his previous life, Xia Wei was very cooperative with Jiang Qing. He thought that as long as he could activate the array, he could sessfully revive Xia Wanyuan. Hence, he was very cooperative with everything Jiang Qing asked him to do.

    Xia Wei had the blood of an emperor in him. Such a powerful energy could drive the entire array. When the array was activated, the emperor''s power on Xia Wei fused with the entire array and guided the power that rotated time and space.

    Xia Wei walked to the front of the ck lotus and pressed his hand on the protruding pattern in the middle. Sensing the emperor''s blood that kept surging in Xia Wei''s body, the ck lotus began to tremble slightly. From the deepest part of the lotus, there was even a deep Sanskrit voice.

    The originally half-closed lotus flower slowly opened at this moment, revealing a ball of chaotic white light. The white light surged like clouds and fog, but it did not make one feel light at all. Instead, they felt that this fog was tens of millions of pounds heavy, as if as long as they came into contact with it, they would be dragged in and never be able to reincarnate.

    At that moment, Jiang Qing walked over. He had changed into the clothes of the Xia Dynasty at some point in time. It was a dragon robe, a shirt that Jiang Qing had dreamed of for so many years in his previous life but could not wear.

    In this life, Jiang Qing had gotten someone to prepare the dragon robe early so that he could wear it at this moment and ascend to the throne the moment he returned to the Xia Dynasty.

    The time Jiang Qing had set for his return was on the eve of the Battle of Wu Mountain in his previous life. That was the turning point when Xia Wanyuan went from decline to prosperity and Jiang Qing went from prosperity to decline.

    Jiang Qing kept reflecting on everything in his previous life and finally concluded that if he could rush back before the battle of Wu Mountain, he could reverse the entire situation and enter the Central ins to be the master of the entire dynasty.

    Jiang Qing walked towards the dragon step by step. With every step he took, the thunder in the entire space became louder and louder, and the dragon''s churning became more and more intense. The dragon roared, as if the entire space was filled with the dragon''s chanting.

    Jiang Qing worshiped attentively and walked towards the center of the array step by step. After nine steps, Jiang Qingpletely stood in the center of the array. At this moment, the nine ck dragons surrounded him. The chaotic white light in the ck lotus gradually rose and headed towards Jiang Qing.

    As the chaotic white light floated in the air, the entire array began to activate.

    Tens of millions of miles away in Continent F, a huge red light array appeared in the deserted desert. Nine huge blood-red stars rose from the desert with a strange cold aura.

    "F*ck!! Look at what that is?!" The subordinate in charge of guarding the desert was stunned when he saw this scene. "The entire sky is dyed red. Look over there, is that a star?? Why does this star have nine horns??"

    "This is what the sect master told us to keep secret. Don''t be surprised. It''s fine as long as we can get the money. The more curious you are about your superior, the faster you die." As someone who had been working under Jiang Qing, the colleague was no longer surprised by the strange things that happened around Jiang Qing.

    What he had learned over the years was that even if the leader turned into a ghost in front of him, he should not be surprised and pretend that he did not see anything. As long as he got the money, everything else was nothing.

    Receiving his colleague''s reminder, the subordinate thought of Jiang Qing''s tricks. The subordinate, who had been surprised just now, hurriedly restrained his expression. "You''re right. I didn''t see anything."<novelnext></novelnext>

    The two of them returned to silence after saying a few words. They stood rooted to the ground and carried out their mission, unaware that it was because of their calmness that they had escaped a cmity.

    While they were monitoring the situation in the desert, there was also a group of people monitoring them. Once they discovered anything unusual, they would immediately deal with it.

    Those who were overly curious were quietly reced. The remaining people had their backs facing the desert and guarded this ce dutifully.

    These guards had their backs to the desert. They were like robots, guarding this ce expressionlessly, as if nothing would make them waver.

    The red light in the desert became brighter and brighter. The nine stars hung in the sky, and such a strange scene could be seen within a hundred miles.

    Fortunately, this desert had always been deserted, and the surrounding natives had long been moved elsewhere. Only the official monitoring station was left at the edge of the desert.

    The anomaly in the desert was quite intense. Even the official monitoring station detected this anomaly. The monitoring station immediately reported the information, but the reply was, "Don''t worry, pretend that nothing happened."

    Not only did the officials not care, but they even asked the monitoring station to cover for the abnormality in the desert.

    The monitoring station had no choice but to destroy the data and observe the movements in the desert.

    At this moment, in the desert, everyone could only see the red light bing stronger and stronger. Vaguely, nine red stars rose in the sky and gradually gathered into a straight line.

    At this moment, in the gxy, the nines were gradually turning into a straight line. In the vast gxy, the nine stars connected into a line, reproducing the scene from a thousand years ago.

    A thousand years was quite long for humans, but to the entire gxy, it was just a flick of the finger.

    As the nine stars connected into a line, all time converged here, and reality and the past began to vaguely appear.

    In the hall, the chaotic white light was getting closer and closer to Jiang Qing. It had already gradually enveloped Jiang Qing. This white light looked as light as fog, but in fact, it was quite heavy. It wrapped around a person''s body. Jiang Qing used all his strength to barely resist the pressure of the white light.

    In the center of the array, the energy on Jun Shiling and Lu Li was gradually devoured by the circling and roaring dragon. Lu Li was not the real Xia Wanyuan. She did not have any energypatible with this array, so at this moment, Lu Li could not resist the energy suppression of the array at all.

    Her internal organs had already begun to be squeezed, and she was pale and weak. She still looked weak on the outside, and her insides were even more empty. Every organ in her body seemed to no longer be hers.

    Lu Li had just undergone surgery. Her skin that did not belong to her began to gradually deform under the pressure of external forces. Blood seeped out of her skin, and she knelt on the ground in pain.

    ......

 Chapter 1533 Disappearance

    At this moment, Jiang Qing could no longer pay attention to the world outside the chaotic white light. He was surrounded by the entire white light and could feel that he was about to enter the chaotic passageway. In another second, he would be able to return to the Great Xia Dynasty!!

    Thinking that he could change the battle of Wu Mountain and all his regrets when he returned, that he could be the emperor of the new dynasty and not be suppressed by Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan anymore, Jiang Qing was very excited.

    He was abnormally excited with a crazy expression in his eyes.

    Jiang Qing opened his arms andpletely closed his eyes. However, one second, two seconds, and three seconds passed, but he did not feel the strong inhtion from before, nor did he feel that he was passing through the space-time tunnel.

    Jiang Qing opened his eyes and looked at Jun Shiling and Lu Li in the array. With just a nce, Jiang Qing could tell that something was wrong.

    Under normal circumstances, the energy on Xia Wanyuan''s body was enough to support the activation of the array. However, at this moment, Lu Li was lying on the ground in a bloody mess. Golden light vaguely shed on Jun Shiling''s body. He seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure of the array. His face was very pale. He held his chest with his right hand, and a faint blood color appeared at the corners of his lips.

    Jiang Qing strode over. He pinched Lu Li''s chin and took a look. He was instantly furious. "Damn it!! You''re not Xia Wanyuan!!"

    In her peak state, Lu Li still needed to use all sorts of methods to look simr to Xia Wanyuan. At this moment, Lu Li, who was almost unconscious, did not have the ability to disguise herself as Xia Wanyuan anymore.

    Jiang Qing was not familiar with Xia Wanyuan, but from her gaze, he could tell that this was definitely the fake Xia Wanyuan.

    However, she was not Xia Wanyuan. Why could she pass the test of the array just now? Why did she not have any warning when she entered the array just now?? This array was specially established to target Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei''s fates. If she was not Xia Wanyuan, she would have been killed by the spirit of the array the moment she entered.

    Jiang Qing looked at Jun Shiling and paused at the talisman on Jun Shiling. He knew that Jun Shiling must have used some secret technique to transfer Xia Wanyuan''s fate to him.

    Thinking of this, Jiang Qing was furious. He threw Lu Li away and red at Jun Shiling. "Jun Shiling, I didn''t expect me to fall into your trap."

    Jun Shiling wiped the blood from the corners of his lips and looked at Jiang Qing coldly. "You want Xia Wanyuan''s life? Dream on."

    Jiang Qing sneered. "Really? Then I''ll try??"

    "You can try, but you won''t have the chance."

    With that, Jun Shiling bit open a hole in his arm with his teeth. A small chip fell out of his flesh.

    This was imnted into his body by Jun Shiling before he came. Although it was very small, it had be like this after being highlypressed.

    Once such a small chip exploded, it could cause a huge explosion that could destroy everyone and everything within a five-kilometer radius.

    Looking at the chip, Jiang Qing had a bad feeling. He took a step back. "What is this?"

    Jun Shiling held the chip in his hand. He looked up and nced at Jiang Qing quietly. "What do you think?"

    Jiang Qing narrowed his eyes and suddenly stomped his feet. The dragon circling in the sky roared and rushed down, pping the chip in Jun Shiling''s hand aside.

    Jiang Qing rushed over to snatch it, and Jun Shiling and Xia Wei rushed over to stop him. Just as the three of them were fighting, the entire space suddenly shook violently, and Xia Wanyuan''s figure appeared not far away.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling was the first to sense Xia Wanyuan''s appearance. Looking at the figure running over not far away, Jun Shiling''s heart skipped a beat and he gestured for Xia Wanyuan to leave.

    Sensing Jun Shiling''s gaze, Xia Wanyuan ignored it and ran straight towards Jun Shiling.

    However, Jiang Qing quickly realized that something was wrong. Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was walking over, Jiang Qing sneered. "There''s no need to snatch it. Didn''t shee knocking on my door?"

    With that, Jiang Qing let go of Jun Shiling''s hand and stood up to pat the dust off his body. He picked up the hat at the side and put it on.

    Xia Wanyuan rushed over with messy hair. She nced at Lu Li and Jun Shiling, who were already in an extremely weak state. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jiang Qing. "Let them go. I''ll let you go back."

    The nine stars could onlyst for an hour. Jiang Qing did not have the energy to argue with the others now. He nodded. "Okay, stand in with Xia Wei. I''ll let your husband and this imposter leave."

    "No." Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. "No, leave quickly."

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling, then made up her mind and closed her eyes. The dragon seemed to have sensed something and swooped down, lifting Xia Wanyuan up.

    What Xia Wanyuan had was the true power of extreme yin. At this moment, when they came into contact with Xia Wanyuan, all the dragons were excited. Their tails kept wagging, spinning rapidly beside Xia Wanyuan, constantly sucking the energy in her body.

    The array began to activate again. The chaotic white light that had gradually moved towards the ck lotus flower just now floated again and slowly moved towards Jiang Qing, enveloping him again.

    Jiang Qing pushed Jun Shiling and Lu Li out and allowed himself to be surrounded by the chaotic white light. Then, he closed his eyes and quietly felt everything.

    Now, this feeling was right. With the real Xia Wanyuan''s drive, the entire array was activated much faster than before.

    At the end of the nine stars, as the red light of the array in the desert became stronger and stronger, the white light beside Jiang Qing in the center of the array becamerger andrger, and his figure became more and more blurry.

    The activation of the array relied on the extreme yin power on Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei''s extreme yang power. At this moment, Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan''s faces were already pale because they had exhausted too much energy.

    Especially Xia Wanyuan. She was torn apart by the dragons, and the expression on her face could not be seen hidden in the dragons. However, there would asionally be a muffled groan from the dragons.

    Just as Jiang Qing''s figure was about to disappear, Jun Shiling suddenly moved. He bit the tip of his tongue and cut open thest charm in his heart. Then, he rushed into the center of the array. Xia Wanyuan seemed to have sensed something. She turned around to stop Jun Shiling, but it was toote.

    At this moment, the chip on the ground began to gradually deform because of the intense pressure in the space. The switch to control the chip gradually failed.

    With a bang, a loud bang exploded in the center of the array.

    When Chu Man and Xuan Sheng rushed here, they saw nothing.

    .........

 Chapter 1534 - 1534 The Dust Settles

    1534 The Dust Settles

    When the two of them ran over just now, they had clearly seen a few people standing here. Chu Man had even seen Jun Shiling striding into the circle of light, but now, other than a ck lotus that had exploded, there was nothing else.

    This ce was quite vast, but other than the center of the array formation, there were ck rivers everywhere. The aura of death that surged in the ck made one unable to breathe.

    Chu Man tried to smash a stone into the river. The fist-sized stone instantly evaporated in the ck river, leaving no traces.

    Chu Man and Xuan Sheng looked at each other and saw shock in each other¡¯s eyes.

    !!

    Jun Shiling and the rest should not be stupid enough to jump into such a life-threatening river. Then why did they disappear without a trace??

    ¡°There¡¯s someone over there.¡± Xuan Sheng looked around and saw Lu Li curled up on the ground not far away. She was already badly mutted.

    At this moment, Lu Li still had a hint of rationality. Although she did not open her eyes to look, her intuition told her that Xuan Sheng was beside her.

    Lu Li subconsciously curled up, as if avoiding Xuan Sheng¡¯s gaze.

    However, this ce was only so big and Lu Li was seriously injured. Even if she wanted to dodge, she could not.

    Xuan Sheng and Chu Man ran over. Xuan Sheng probed the tip of Lu Li¡¯s nose and there was only a weak breath. ¡°There¡¯s still hope. Let¡¯s go out first.¡±

    ¡°This ce is about to copse. We have to go back quickly.¡± Chu Man looked at her surroundings. The entire space began to shake violently, and soil and stone fragments began to fall.

    The still ck river gradually churned again. As it roared, it had the power to destroy everything in the world.

    Xuan Sheng looked back at the already empty ce and nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    With that, Xuan Sheng picked Lu Li up. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    When the two of them arrived, the entire temple was already on the verge of copse. Now that they were leaving, the entire temple copsed faster and faster.

    The beams and rocks smashed down heavily as if they wanted to kill someone. Fortunately, Chu Man and Xuan Sheng were quite skilled. As Xuan Sheng ran out, he protected Lu Li¡¯s head with his hand.

    Because the array had failed, the temple began to gradually rise, and the various mechanisms in the array fell into paralysis.

    There were not many obstacles on the road Xuan Sheng and Chu Man left on. The two of them left rtively smoothly.

    At this moment, on the shore of the ind, everyone also felt the huge shock just now.

    ¡°Hey, it shouldn¡¯t be my imagination just now, right? Did something explode? Did you feel it?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you talking nonsense?? If you don¡¯t feel such a hugemotion, you must be in a vegetative state.¡±

    ¡°This damn ce is filled with evil aura. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t havee to join in the fun. Sigh, I wonder if I can return alive.¡±

    Chu Yi and Lin Qingyuan looked at each other.

    They had been trapped here for a long time. Their subordinates outside must have beenpletely prepared. They had to cooperate from the inside and break out of this ce. It was definitely not a solution to stay like this.

    Jiang Qing was a lunatic. Who knew what he would do next?

    Just as the two of them were about to send the signal to attack, the bodyguards who were originally guarding the side received a call and suddenly dispersed. In just a minute, they retreated to the ship and quickly evacuated this sea area in front of everyone, setting off in the direction of Hidden Continent.

    They ran quickly, and the weapons on the ground fell to the ground. However, no one paid attention to the weapons at this moment. The guards, who had been majestic and swaggering just now, actually ran faster than anyone else like refugees.

    Looking at this sudden change, everyone was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did they suddenly leave??¡±

    ¡°They¡¯ve all retreated. Those weapons have been thrown. Did something happen?? Should we leave quickly? Our lives might be in danger if we stay.¡±

    At this moment, Lin Qingyuan did not look at the ship like the others. His back was facing everyone as he looked at Xuan Sheng and Chu Man, who were walking over step by step.

    Chu Yi also noticed Chu Man, who was in a sorry state. He strode over and caught Chu Man¡¯s wrist.

    Chu Man and Xuan Sheng had already exhausted all their strength toe out. Now, the two of them were in a sorry state.

    Chu Man did not care if Chu Yi had ulterior motives. She leaned on Chu Yi. ¡°Do you have water?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Chu Yi said as he took out a bottle of water from behind and handed it to Chu Man. ¡°Why did you end up like this?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me first.¡± Chu Man waved her hand. ¡°Is the medical team nearby? Save this girl first. She lost a lot of blood. I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t be able to survive.¡±

    Chu Yi nced at Lu Li, whose facial features could not be seen clearly. ¡°Mm, I¡¯ve already gotten the medical team toe over.¡±

    At this moment, it was as if everything had returned to calm. The suppression just now had disappeared. No one was monitoring them or caring about their actions.

    The subordinates of the various families could also sessfully enter the ind. The medical ship drove in and brought Xuan Sheng and the rest out.

    Waves of people gradually retreated. Lin Qingyuan stood on the deck and quietly looked at the ind, his eyes dark.

    ¡°Master Lin, what are you looking at??¡± Chu Yi walked over and followed Lin Qingyuan¡¯s gaze, but he did not find anything unusual.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you realize that Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan, and the rest have disappeared??¡±

    ¡°Did they leave elsewhere?? I got someone to look for them just now. They said that they didn¡¯t see Jun Shiling and the rest. Even the governor of Hidden Continent is gone. I heard that the people of Hidden Continent are retreating quickly.¡±

    Lin Qingyuan narrowed his eyes and felt that something was wrong.

    At this moment, on the ind, the professional search and rescue team almost counted the stones on the entire ind, yet they did not find any traces of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    ¡°Sir.¡± The subordinate walked over and reported to Bo Xiao. ¡°We didn¡¯t find any traces of CEO Jun and Madam Jun.¡±

    Bo Xiao did not seem surprised by this. He waved his hand. ¡°Got it. Get someone to surround this ce and not let anyone approach.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Even a thousand meters underground had been dug up, but they still could not find any clues. After searching for ten days, Bo Xiao and Lin Jing finally gave up.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Lin Jing looked at Bo Xiao. ¡°Actually, CEO Jun has expected such an oue. This is CEO Jun¡¯s choice. What we need to do is arrange what happens next.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Bo Xiao nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

 Chapter 1535 Mixing Time And Space

    This alliance meeting looked calm on the surface. There were no conflicts or riots. Everyone quietly went and returned.

    However, after this meeting, the people of World D realized that their abilities were not that outstanding on the entire.

    The people of Hidden Continent could actually control them casually. No matter how powerful they were in their respective spheres of influence, they were not enough in the entire world.

    Under such intimidation, all the families actually calmed down and quietly developed their forces. Those who forcefully appeared were gradually suppressed.

    In an invisible war, the entire world fell into a strange bnce and peace.

    In front of France''s castle, An Luo walked around anxiously. His subordinates were extremely worried when they saw An Luo. "Young Master, you''ve been here for half an hour. If you want to see Master An Lin, you can go in now."

    An Luo nodded, then shook his head. "I''ll think about it."

    Actually, he had been back for two days, but in the past two days, he had been hanging around An Lin''s door almost every day. He did not dare to enter the castle.

    He knew that An Lin was sick back then because he had signed an unknown contract with Jiang Qing in the Hidden Continent.

    Jiang Qing helped him consolidate his power and take back the Cape family, while An Lin provided something to Jiang Qing.

    The Cape family had returned. Correspondingly, An Lin''s health was getting worse.

    An Luo went to the Alliance mainly to exin to Jiang Qing that he wanted to rece An Lin, but he did not expect Jiang Qing to have disappeared without seeing him.

    Thinking of the thin An Lin on the bed, An Luo''s heart ached. He had gone for nothing this time. Without seeing Jiang Qing, An Lin''s strange illness would not recover.

    An Luo reached out to pull the golden curly hair on his head. His face, which had gradually be deep, was filled with worry.

    What should I do? If I lose my brother, what should I do in the future?

    "Why do you still like to grab your hair?? How old are you?" Just as An Luo''s eyes were about to turn red from anxiety, An Lin''s voice suddenly came from behind him.

    An Luo widened his eyes and could not believe his ears. How was that possible?? When I left, An Lin could only barely survive on a venttor. How could he stand here and talk to me now??

    An Luo stood rooted to the ground at a loss, but the person behind him slowly walked up to him.

    An Luo looked up and saw An Lin with a smile in his eyes.

    "Brother?!" An Luo''s eyes widened.

    At this moment, An Lin did not look as weak as before. He had a smile on his face and looked quite good.

    "Mm." An Lin reached out and stroked An Luo''s head. "Good boy."

    "Brother, why did you suddenly??" An Luo was a little puzzled. "Didn''t you have no way to stand up previously??"

    Speaking of this, An Lin found it a little strange.

    Back then, he had signed a contract with the ck-robed man. He had provided the ck-robed man with his heart blood, and the ck-robed man had provided him with resources. In order to take back the Cape family in the shortest time, An Lin had agreed to this agreement.

    During this period of time, An Lin could feel that his body was already quite weak. Ten days ago, he even felt that he might leave this world at any time.

    However, one night ten days ago, hey on the bed. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the shackles in his body had been unlocked. The lost essence energy seemed to have returned.

    An Lin tried to stand up from the bed, but he did not expect it to seed.

    As time passed, An Lin''s health improved. Over the past few days, An Lin hadpletely be a healthy person.

    At first, An Lin suspected that it was a final radiance, but after the doctor''s authoritative examination, he concluded that An Lin hadpletely recovered.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Although they did not know the reason, An Luo and An Lin were quite happy.

    "Brother, apany me to ride horses tonight!!"

    "Okay."

    An Lin patted An Luo''s shoulder. "I haven''t seen you ride a horse in a long time. I wonder if your skills have improved."

    Of course. Brother, have you forgotten? You taught me my horsemanship yourself."

    The brothers''ughter filled the entire castle. Inparison, the manor in China was silent.

    In the hall, without needing Bo Xiao and Lin Jing to report, Old Master Jun could guess the final situation just by looking at their dark expressions.

    Old Master Jun sighed deeply. The wrinkles on his face ran through like ravines. "Sigh, this is all fate."

    Ever since Jun Shiling left, he could roughly guess what the final oue would be.

    His grandson was too devoted.

    However, he had thought that only Jun Shiling would note back and that Xia Wanyuan would definitelye back. However, what made his heart break was that

    In the end, neither his grandson nor grand daughter-inw were left behind.

    At the door of the living room, Xiao Bao stood quietly. Bo Xiao was the first to see him. "Xiao Bao, why are you here?"

    Xiao Bao''s expression was calm. "Uncle Bo, my father can''te back anymore, right??"

    Bo Xiao''s heart skipped a beat. "Xiao Bao, he''s just missing. Maybe..."

    "Maybe he cane back again?" Xiao Bao was not so gullible.

    If they could find him, Bo Xiao and Lin Jing would have definitely brought Jun Shiling back. There was no news now, which meant that Jun Shiling could note back at all.

    To Bo Xiao''s surprise, Xiao Bao was abnormally calm. He nodded. "I understand, Uncle Bo. I still need you to take care of the Jun Corporation in the future."

    Looking at Xiao Bao, who had instantly grown up, Old Master Jun sighed.

    Losing Jun Shiling was unfortunate, but when the Jun family was in a desperate situation, good children always stood up and carried the heavy burden of the family.

    Jun Shiling was like this back then, and so was Xiao Bao now.

    Old Master Jun was deep in thought when two small figures walked in.

    Seeing that it was Little Jiajin and Little Xiaxia, Old Master Jun forced a smile. "Why are the two of you here? Come, let Great-grandfather carry you."

    Little Jiajin and Little Xiaxia walked towards Old Master Jun and snuggled obediently beside him.

    "Great-grandfather, we''ll apany you when Daddy and Mommy are not around. Great-grandfather, don''t be sad."

    Old Master Jun did not expect the two of them to say this at all. For a moment, tears streamed down his face. "Okay, okay, okay. Good child."

    At this moment, in the wrong time and space, Jun Shiling woke up in a dpidated straw hut.

    ......-

 Chapter 1536 CEO Jun Awakens

    "Father, I brought some herbs over. Do you think this can be used??"

    At the entrance of the straw hut, a youngdy in light-colored linen clothes was holding a pile of herbs in her hand and showing them to the old man with a white beard.

    The old man sniffed the herbs one by one and finally picked out two or three. "These are usable. Go and smash these herbs and apply them to this person''s wound."

    "Okay."

    Jun Shilingy on the bed and felt a swelling pain in his head. He closed his eyes tightly and could not tell if he was in hell or somewhere. He only felt a hint of coolness close to his calf in a daze, clearing his thoughts for a moment.

    In a daze, Jun Shiling could hear someone talking beside him. Someone was applying the herbs to him.

    After a while, Jun Shiling fell unconscious again.

    "Grandpa, he seems to have fainted again. Is he okay??" The youngdy nced at Jun Shiling''s condition and looked at Old Master worriedly.

    The old master went forward to check. "Go and brew the medicine. Drink it for him every morning and night in the next two days. If he''s lucky, he can already wake up."

    "Mm."

    Days in the mountains always passed quickly. Every day, as soon as the grandfather and granddaughter woke up, they would feed Jun Shiling a bowl of medicine and another bowl before sleeping.

    However, Jun Shiling had been sleeping, as if no amount of medicine could help him. Old Master began to waver. Could it be that this person could not be saved??

    After some time, Jun Shiling, who was on the bed, slowly opened his eyes amidst a light bird cry.

    "Father, he seems to be awake!!" The youngdy who had been guarding the bed ran out excitedly. "Father,e and take a look!"

    Jun Shiling tried to move his head. He turned his head slightly and saw two people in rough linen clothes running in.

    The white-bearded old man was only a wandering doctor. He simply took Jun Shiling''s pulse. From his pulse, there should be no big problem. "There shouldn''t be a problem. Go and kill that chicken to nourish his body. After lying for so long, his body should be very weak."

    "Okay." The youngdy quickly left the room. The old man took a bowl of medicine and handed it to Jun Shiling. "Come, drink this."

    Jun Shiling sized up the old man''s clothes with a deep gaze. He calmly drank the medicine and said, "May I ask how long I''ve been unconscious? What year is it this year??"

    "You''ve been unconscious for about six days." Jun Shiling opened his eyes. The aura on his body waspletely different from before. The old man had been in the mountains all year round and had nevere into contact with such a person. For a moment, the old man even felt convinced.

    "It''s the third year of Jiayi this year," the old man said as he fiddled with the herbs beside him. "Can you remember where you''re from?? You shouldn''t have lost your memory, right?"

    Hearing the old man''s words, Jun Shiling''s eyes widened.

    Three years in Jiayi. Wasn''t that the third year after the Great Xia Dynasty was destroyed??

    Could it be that I had traveled through time too?? Thinking of the scene in the temple previously, Jun Shiling spected that the chaotic white light passageway was the passageway of time and space rotation. Perhaps it was because the explosion he caused in the end had changed the passageway, sending him, a descendant of the future, to this era.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Since I was already here, did that mean that Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei, and Jiang Qing had also been sent back??

    Where was Xia Wanyuan at this moment? He recalled that ording to the experience Xia Wanyuan had once told him, Xia Wanyuan should have already wandered among the people. In ten days, it would be the time of the Longguan Uprising.

    And that was where Xia Wanyuan had appeared.

    With a thought, Jun Shiling immediately wanted to get up. However, he ignored the fact that he was already seriously injured and had no ability to get out of bed.

    When he moved, there was a cracking sound. His bones were dislocated again. Jun Shiling fell onto the bed in pain.

    Seeing this, the old man immediately ran over and helped Jun Shiling up. "What are you doing?? You''re so seriously injured. It wasn''t easy for you to survive. You can''t run out."

    "I have something very important to do," Jun Shiling said as he lifted the nket and wanted to walk out. However, his injuries were too serious, so he could not do it in the end.

    "No matter how important it is, you have to recover before going. Sharpening the knife won''t dy the work," the old man said as he forced Jun Shiling back under the nket. "Alright, recuperate first. I got Cui''er to cook chicken soup. She''ll bring it over to youter."

    Jun Shiling wanted to say something, but the old man was persistent enough. In addition, Jun Shiling did feel that his leg could not move at all. He agreed and nodded. "Okay, thank you."

    Not long after, Cui''er came over with a bowl of chicken soup. "Try it quickly. Grandpa specially made it for you."

    She handed the bowl over, but when she saw Jun Shiling''s facial features, she subconsciously blushed.

    Jun Shiling had been sick for a long time. His slightly pale facial features were originally nothing special, but at this moment, when his deep eyes opened, he seemed to have stepped on the blue clouds on the ground. He had the aura of a ruler.

    The youngdy had stayed in the mountains all year round and had never seen such a man. Her heart immediately skipped a beat.

    She had thought that all the men in the world looked like her grandfather. So the handsome young masters in the story really existed.

    Furthermore, she felt that the man in front of her was much better-looking than the young masters in those books. He was much more handsome, heroic, and elegant, making one''s heart flutter.

    Jun Shiling was not in the mood to drink soup. He looked out of the window. This ce seemed to be surrounded byyers of mountains. The lush trees seemed to have be the masters of this ce. The pines that could enter the clouds pointed straight at the clouds. Jun Shiling sighed softly. "Have you been down the mountain?"

    "No." Cui''er shook her head. "Every time Grandpa goes out, he lets me watch the chickens and ducks at home. I don''t want them to be taken away by a weasel."

    Cui''er and Old Master relied on each other here. Old Master was a wandering doctor. Every time he went out to treat someone, Cui''er would stay in the mountains alone and look at the clouds in the mountains, the fish in the water, and the deer and hares running in the forest. Although she was carefree, she was also lonely.

    It was rare for someone to be willing to listen to her in the mountains. Cui''er kept talking and telling Jun Shiling interesting things in the mountains. She had a lively personality and actually talked about those things in a very interesting manner.

    However, Jun Shiling''s emotions wereplicated. He quietly looked at the mountains and sky in the distance. It was unknown if he was listening.

    ......

 Chapter 1537 CEO Jun And The Princess Meet

    Cui''er spoke for a long time, but seeing that Jun Shiling did not react at all, a hint of disappointment shed across her eyes. "Are you not interested in our life here? What does your ce look like? Can you tell me?"

    Jun Shiling turned to look at Cui''er. Her clear eyes were filled with curiosity. Jun Shiling shook his head slightly. "I''m sorry, I''m a little sleepy and want to rest."

    "Alright." Jun Shiling was unwilling to talk to her, so Cui''er did not pester him anymore. She packed her things and walked out the door.

    This small courtyard was located in a lush bamboo forest. The lingering clouds pounced on her face, bringing a moment of rity, blurring the sadness on Cui''er''s face.

    Not far away, Old Master was sitting on the big rock he often sat on and smoking a tobo pipe. He looked up at Cui''er and waved at her.

    "Cui''er,e here."

    Cui''er walked towards Old Master. "Grandpa, do you need me to roll tobo?"

    Old Master shook his head and pointed at the seat beside him. "Come and sit."

    Cui''er sat beside Old Master. She had grown up beside Old Master since she was young and her every move could not escape Old Master''s eyes. Now, Old Master could naturally see the sadness in her eyes.

    "You like that handsome young master??"

    Hearing Old Master''s words, Cui''er blushed and looked at Old Master shyly. "Grandpa, what are you saying? I don''t."

    The old master knocked on the cigarette butt at the side. "What can you hide from me? I''m old, but my thoughts aren''t old. It''s normal to like someone."

    As Old Master spoke, he seemed to have thought of the girl who had smiled shyly at him back then. A smile appeared on his wrinkled face. He had been through it before and naturally knew how fatally attractive a man like Jun Shiling was to youngdies.

    This was normal, but Old Master looked at Cui''er. "Granddaughter, in all fairness, even if we forcefully leave him in this mountain, will he like you?"

    Cui''er was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, looking like she was about to cry. When facing Jun Shiling, she would look up to him from the bottom of her heart. She could clearly feel that Jun Shiling was not from the same world as her.

    "Then that''s it." Old Master patted his granddaughter''s shoulder. "I''m afraid a man like him can only¡­"

    As the old master spoke, he suddenly thought of the most favored little princess of the Great Xia Dynasty that he had glimpsed on the street a few years ago.

    For some reason, at this moment, the little princess''s cold eyes that would always look down on the world matched the ambition in Jun Shiling''s deep eyes.

    The girl''s thoughts came and went quickly. At this moment, Cui''er was more curious about what Grandpa had not finished saying. She widened her eyes and looked at Old Master. "Grandpa, who did you say was the mostpatible with him?"

    Thinking of the destroyed Great Xia Dynasty, the old master was a little helpless about his thoughts just now. He waved his hand. "It''s nothing. Go and do your work."

    Cui''er nodded. After rolling the cigarette for Old Master, she skipped off to do her own things.

    Jun Shiling''s recovery speed was considered very fast. In order to recover early, he cooperated with the old man''s treatment.

    Seeing that eight to nine days had passed in the mountains, Jun Shiling roughly estimated that the Longguan Uprising would be in the next few days.

    ver the past few days, he had also asked the old man if he knew about Longguan.

    Fortunately, the old man waved his hand. "How can I not know? Ourrgest town. Are you from Longguan??"

    Knowing that this ce existed, Jun Shiling rxed a lot.

    Now, Jun Shiling was holding a simple walking stick and slowly practicing walking.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Cui''er looked at Jun Shiling. "Are you leaving?"

    "Mm." Cui''er had grown up in the mountains and did not have any distracting thoughts. All her emotions were engraved in her eyes, so Jun Shiling could naturally tell. He looked at Cui''er. "I''m going to find my wife."

    Hearing that Jun Shiling had a wife, Cui''er''s eyes revealed obvious sadness, but she did not indulge in it. She quickly perked up. "Is she as good-looking as described in the story??"

    "Mm."

    Cui''er blinked. "Why don''t I apany you down the mountain to look for your wife? You definitely can''t get off your leg yourself."

    Cui''er''s main thought was to slip down the mountain and take a look.

    Previously, she thought that her grandfather had fabricated the story to lie to her. However, when she saw Jun Shiling and heard about his legendary fianc¨¦e, Cui''er suddenly felt that the story was true. The outside world must be especially exciting.

    "Your grandfather won''t agree."

    "Then let''s sneak down the mountain."

    Cui''er waved at Jun Shiling. "I know a shortcut down the mountain. I''ll bring you down. Can you bring me out to y?"

    Jun Shiling''s eyes flickered. "Where is the shortcut?? Why haven''t I seen it before?"

    "It''s right there. I''ll bring you over to take a look first." With that, Cui''er brought Jun Shiling to a very hidden valley at the side. There was a narrow aisle there. If one was not very familiar with this ce, it was really impossible to know that someone could pass through here.

    "Okay, I''ll wait for you here tonight."

    "That''s a deal!!" Cui''er ran home happily and began to prepare to explore the world.

    When the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Cui''er secretly slipped out of the wooden house. However, no matter how she looked, she could not find any traces of Jun Shiling.

    "He''s already gone." The old man had stepped forward at some point. He nced at his granddaughter. "He''s a good person."

    "But Grandpa, the outside world is very exciting." Cui''er''s eyes were filled with yearning.

    The old man slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with a deepness that Cui''er could not understand. "It''s exciting, but how can it be so easy to taint the mortal world? The price to pay is very high."

    Cui''er did not understand what her grandfather meant. She looked at the mountain path again with obvious disappointment.

    At this moment, on a quiet mountain path, Jun Shiling was walking down the mountain with his walking stick.

    It was not until the next morning that a tall figure walked out of the mountains surrounded by clouds.

    Not far away, there were already vendors hawking. Jun Shiling looked up. Two majestic words were carved on the city gate not far away.

    "Long Guan."

    Jun Shiling tidied his clothes and slowly walked into the city.

    At this moment, on the south street of Longguan City, the fragrance of porridge had already floated up from a small courtyard.

    "Royal Sister, your food is so delicious."

 Chapter 1538 Recognize The Wrong Person

    "Mm, eat more if it''s delicious." Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Wei''s shoulder. "After dinner, I have something on. Stay at home and watch your siblings."

    "Okay, Sister." Xia Wei was still a fifteen-year-old youth. His eyebrows were filled with youthfulness. Although he was wearing simple linen clothes, he could not hide the noble aura that had been nurtured from his bones.

    In the city, Jun Shiling slowly searched along the streets. Compared to modern cities, Longguan Town might not be very big, but in a radius of hundreds of miles, Longguan Town was thergest town, so there were especially many merchants. It was dark as far as the eye could see.

    During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been hiding among the people with Xia Wei and the rest. They would definitely not appear so brazenly on the street. Jun Shiling searched along the street for a long time, but no one knew that there were so many people living in Longguan City.

    Seeing that it was gettingte and the city gate was about to close, Jun Shiling only had a few copper coins given by Cui''er.

    At night, it was probably even more impossible to find Xia Wanyuan and the rest. Jun Shiling asked the vendor about the location of the nearby temple and prepared to go to the temple to deal with the night.

    Halfway there, it began to drizzle.

    It was still spring when he came from the modern world, but in ancient times, it waste autumn.

    Jun Shiling was only wearing a thin linen shirt to begin with. Now that the autumn rain fell on him, he, who was already injured, felt a chill run down his spine.

    The sky gradually darkened. After Jun Shiling was drenched in the rain, the wound on his body seemed to be cracking.

    After being hungry for the entire day, Jun Shiling was hungry and tired. He found a step and sat down, wanting to rest for a while before leaving.

    However, not long after he sat down, the door behind him opened.

    "The weather is rtively cold. Remember to help your younger siblings cover themselves with the nket. I''ll be back in about an hour." Her light voice was like immortal music whispering in the night.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling''s body trembled and he suddenly turned around. He did not care even if his wound was pulled.

    At this moment, under the eaves, a young woman stood elegantly. She was wearing simple bup clothes, but it could not hide her elegance.

    The ancient lights were rtively dim, but even under such darkness, the woman in front of him still revealed a soul as clear as water.

    That face was clearly Xia Wanyuan!

    Jun Shiling suddenly stood up, but he did not notice that his leg was already seriously injured. Hence, when he suddenly exerted strength, he subconsciously tilted to the side.

    His leg was injured and could not use much strength. Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to fall, a snow-white hand pulled Jun Shiling back.

    "Young Master, are you okay??" Xia Wanyuan straightened Jun Shiling and smiled at him. "Can you walk??"

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan address him and seeing the way she was looking at him, Jun Shiling''s eyes darkened. "You don''t know me??"

    Looking at the unfamiliar man in front of her, confusion shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "Have we met before??"

    Xia Wanyuan carefully observed Jun Shiling, then was burned by the intense warmth in his eyes.

    That deep gaze was so heavy that she almost could not take it.

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a long time and finally looked at Jun Shiling. She was certain. "We shouldn''t have met before. Young Master, did you get the wrong person?"

 Chapter 1539 CEO Jun Stays Over

    "You¡­" Seeing that Xia Wanyuan really did not seem to know him, Jun Shiling frowned slightly. He nced at the package in Xia Wanyuan''s hand. "Are you going out?"

    Jun Shiling''s tone was too familiar. Even Xia Wei could tell that something was wrong. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. "Sister, do you know him??"

    Xia Wanyuan nced at Jun Shiling again, then shook her head. "No."

    Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling warily. He sized Jun Shiling up. He had seen so many royal nobles, but he had never seen anyone with Jun Shiling''s aura.

    Dressed like this in the middle of the night to get close to my royal sister, he must have ill intentions.

    Thinking of this, the way Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling changed. He walked up to Xia Wanyuan, wanting to block Jun Shiling''s gaze. However, he was not as tall as Jun Shiling now, so he could only re angrily.

    Xia Wanyuan pushed Xia Wei to the side, her eyes filled with helplessness. "Alright, stop fooling around. Go in and rest first."

    Xia Wei reluctantly brought his younger siblings into the courtyard. Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Jun Shiling. "Young Master, where''s your house? Let me give you a ride."

    Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan, then shook his head. "It''s nothing. Go and do your work first. I''ll go back myself."

    "Okay." Xia Wanyuan did not force him. She nodded slightly at Jun Shiling and disappeared into the rain.

    Jun Shiling stood on the steps and watched from afar. Only when Xia Wanyuan''s figurepletely disappeared into the rain did he look down at the wound on his leg and sit under the roof to rest.

    It waste at night. When the old man on night watch knocked three times, Xia Wanyuan stepped on the water and hurriedly returned to the small courtyard.

    Seeing Jun Shiling sitting at the door, confusion shed across Xia Wanyuan''s eyes.

    She could feel that Jun Shiling was not hostile. Even though he was already trying his best to suppress it, the joy and concern after seeing her was obvious.

    Ever since she escaped from the pce with her younger siblings, she had been much more vignt than before. She no longer trusted anyone.<novelnext></novelnext>

    However, for some reason, facing this stranger who had suddenly appeared, Xia Wanyuan had never suspected him at all. On the contrary, it was as if a voice in her heart was telling her that this man could be trusted.

    Jun Shiling was too tired, so he only opened his eyes when Xia Wanyuan walked to his side.

    "I''m sorry." Jun Shiling slowly stood up. "My house is very far from here. I can''t go back."

    From any angle, it was clearly impossible for Xia Wanyuan to keep Jun Shiling. However, at this moment, looking at Jun Shiling''s bloodshot eyes, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously said, "Why don''t you stay? We still have a guest room. It''s not toote to leave tomorrow."

    As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan realized that something was wrong. What am I saying??

    Jun Shiling seemed a little surprised by Xia Wanyuan''s words, but he quickly reacted. "Then sorry to disturb you."

    "¡­" Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to agree so directly. Before she could go back on her word, Jun Shiling had already limped into the courtyard.

    Looking at Jun Shiling walking with difficulty, Xia Wanyuan finally retracted her rejection.

    Xia Wei and Xiao Yu had been trained in martial arts since they were young. Even if this man wanted to do something, he would not seed. Furthermore, she subconsciously thought that the man in front of her would not do anything to hurt her.

    She did not know where this intuition came from, but she had such a firm feeling.

    She watched as Jun Shiling limped towards the woodshed. Just as the door was about to open, Xia Wanyuan finally chased after him. "You''re in the wrong ce. Come with me."

    The courtyard was dim, so Xia Wanyuan did not see it. Jun Shiling lowered his head and covered the slight smile on his lips.

    The courtyard where Old Master lived was personally designed by Jun Shiling. How could he, who knew a lot about Chinese culture, not know the basicyout of the ancient courtyard?

 Chapter 1540 - 1540 Young Princess Red Face

    1540 Young Princess Red Face

    Jun Shiling followed Xia Wanyuan into the main hall. Passing by the small courtyard, Jun Shiling looked around. Although the current Xia Wanyuan no longer knew him, her various living habits were still the same as before.

    Although the small courtyard was very simple, beautiful chrysanthemums bloomed everywhere. In thete autumn night, the autumn rain hit the chrysanthemum petals and spread the fragrance.

    Just like Xia Wanyuan in front of him, there was a faint fragrance in her coldness.

    The light was as bright as day, illuminating the room¡¯s warmth on this cold night.

    ncing at Jun Shiling¡¯s tattered clothes, Xia Wanyuan walked into the house and brought over a nket. ¡°Cover yourself with this first. The weather is quite cold. I¡¯ll get you a bowl of hot soup.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan entered the kitchen.

    Jun Shiling was draped in a nket, and there was a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose. Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered as he walked to the kitchen door and looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly.

    Only then could he look at Xia Wanyuan seriously. He knew very well that the Xia Wanyuan in front of him was not the one he knew.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was probably not an adult yet. Although she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders and looked much more mature than her peers, the nobility in her eyes was as precious as a little princess.

    It was not like theter Xia Wanyuan. It was a true nobility that had seen everything and stood on the peak of the clouds.

    Jun Shiling thought that the Nine Stars Rotation Array might have really sent Xia Wanyuan and the rest back to their previous positions.

    As time passed, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei had returned to the era where they should have existed. What about Jiang Qing??

    Jun Shiling was wondering if Jiang Qing had returned to his younger self like Xia Wanyuan and the rest.

    However, he had been preparing for so long. Jun Shiling did not believe that Jiang Qing had not made this preparation. He had always wanted to go back in time to reverse the failure of his war. This time, it had finally happened. He must have a backup n.

    Jun Shiling fell into his thoughts until a fragrance hooked them out. He looked at the stove. Xia Wanyuan had already cooked a bowl of noodles.

    She scooped the noodles and walked to the stove to extinguish the remaining fire. However, firewood was not easy to burn. When Xia Wanyuan took out the half-extinguished firewood, she identally dropped a spark on her shoe.

    She was rtively calm. Just as she was about to extinguish the fire, Jun Shiling had already shed in front of her.

    He used his sleeve to extinguish the fire on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s feet, then pinched the instep of Xia Wanyuan¡¯s foot and was about to take off her shoes to treat her wound.

    Xia Wanyuan was originally shocked by Jun Shiling personally cleaning her shoes. Then, she saw Jun Shiling preparing to take off his shoes.

    In this era, revealing one¡¯s feet was a very private matter. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears vaguely shed red. She retracted her foot and coughed unnaturally. ¡°Young Master, you¡­¡±

    Jun Shiling also realized that the current Xia Wanyuan and him could only be considered strangers who had just met. He immediately apologized to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to offend you. I just want to take a look at your wound.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan could see through people¡¯s hearts and could naturally tell that there was no evilness in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. Although Jun Shiling¡¯s actions were indeed a little rash, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else. She pointed at the noodles on the stove. ¡°Bring this out.¡±

    Jun Shiling nodded. He had just taken a step when he turned around. ¡°I¡¯m not looking. Take a look yourself, okay? Be careful not to burn yourself.¡±

    Jun Shiling¡¯s tone was the usual tone of coaxing Xia Wanyuan, with concern, doting, and gentleness.

    For the second time today, the young Xia Wanyuan blushed.

 Chapter 1541 Jun Shiling

    After Jun Shiling left, thinking of what he had said before he left, Xia Wanyuan squatted down to check her feet. Fortunately, Jun Shiling had taken action in time. The mes had only burned the surface of her shoes a little and did not hurt her skin.

    In the living room, Jun Shiling sat at the table and quietly ate the soup noodles in front of him. Steam rose, mixed with the sweet fragrance of spring onions and the wheat fragrance of the white flour, surrounding Jun Shiling bit by bit.

    "Doesn''t it suit your taste?" Xia Wanyuan had walked out at some point in time. Seeing that Jun Shiling had not touched his chopsticks, she asked curiously.

    However, when she walked up to Jun Shiling and saw his expression, Xia Wanyuan was a little stunned.

    The man in front of her looked very sad, as if he was missing someone who would note back.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan''s probing gaze, Jun Shiling looked up and smiled at her. "I tasted it just now. Your skills are quite good. You..."

    Xia Wanyuan originally thought that Jun Shiling was going to continue praising her, but she did not expect Jun Shiling to look at her for a moment and say, "It''s been hard on you to take care of your younger siblings."

    Looking at the deep heartache in Jun Shiling''s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

    Ever since the fall of the country, Xia Wanyuan had been hiding with Xia Wei and the rest. She had supported the world for her younger siblings.

    Although her younger siblings were also very sensible and would usually try their best to reduce her burden,

    However, after so long, this was the first time someone her age had told her that she had worked hard.

    Furthermore, she could clearly sense an inexplicable sense of security from Jun Shiling.

    She was already used to it after working hard for so long, but Jun Shiling''s simple words suddenly made Xia Wanyuan feel wronged.

    It was as if someone was waiting for her with an umbre when she walked alone through the long night.

    Xia Wanyuan shook her head. "I''m fine."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling did not say anything else. He lowered his head and began to eat the noodles.

    Jun Shiling had walked on the mountain road for so long and was cold and hungry. Now that he had eaten the next bowl of hot soup noodles, he felt much better.

    When Jun Shiling was eating, Xia Wanyuan had been sitting at the side and watching. As she had expected, although Jun Shiling was dressed very simply, the etiquette of eating was like that of a member of the royal family. It was very noble.

    Xia Wanyuan searched her mind for the situation of the royal families of the various countries in the world today, but in the end, she could not figure out which country Jun Shiling was from.

    After Jun Shiling finished eating, Xia Wanyuan asked him, "How should I address you, Young Master??"

    Jun Shiling looked around. "Do you have a pen and paper?"

    "Yes, I do."

    No matter where she went, to Xia Wanyuan, brush, ink, paper, and inkstones were inevitable. She took a brush and paper and spread them in front of Jun Shiling. "The conditions aren''t too good. There''s no rice paper. Young Master, make do."

    Jun Shiling shook his head slightly, then picked up a pen and wrote three words on the paper.

    Looking at the words "Jun Shiling" on the paper, Xia Wanyuan''s eyes widened slightly.

    It was not because of Jun Shiling''s name, but because of Jun Shiling''s handwriting.

    His habits were clearly the same as hers, but the man in front of her did not have such a good calligraphy foundation. His basic skills were not as good as hers, but in terms of style, he was already 80 to 90% simr to her.

    Xia Wanyuan finally could not help but ask, "Who are you??"

 Chapter 1542 Weve Known Each Other For A Long Time

    Jun Shiling put down his pen and looked at Xia Wanyuan. "Will you believe me if I tell you?"

    Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly. "Yes, tell me."

    Jun Shiling looked into Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "I''m your future husband."

    Rain dripped from the window, causing the petals to tremble slightly. The living room was silent, so quiet that one could hear Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s heartbeats.

    Xia Wanyuan looked into Jun Shiling''s obsidian-like eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Xia Wei appeared out of nowhere and smashed a stool at Jun Shiling. "You lecher!!! How dare you tease my sister? I''ll beat you to death!!"

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did not notice that Xia Wei was beside them. They could not dodge in time and the chair pped Jun Shiling''s arm.

    ? Jun Shiling was already injured. Now that he was hit by Xia Wei, he fell to the side. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly ran over and helped Jun Shiling up. She nced at Xia Wei. "Stop fooling around. Go in and sleep."

    Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling warily. "But Sister, he''s a bad person. We can''t leave him here. He has ill intentions towards you. He covets your beauty!!"

    Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Wei''s shoulder. "Alright, go down first. I know what to do."

    Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling hatefully. Although he was young, he had learned how to be an emperor since he was young and hade into contact with thousands of civil and military officials.

    He could naturally tell that Jun Shiling was not hostile to them. Otherwise, the thing that hit Jun Shiling was no longer a chair, but the firewood knife in the backyard.

    However, he was just unhappy. He could tell that Xia Wanyuan treated Jun Shiling specially. If it were anyone else, Xia Wanyuan would not have let them in at all. However, for the man in front of him, not only did his sister let him in, but she also made food for him.

    Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling angrily. It was this man who had snatched my sister''s attention.

    "Alright, go back." Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xia Wei and gestured for him to return to the backyard.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wei hesitated for a while before warning Jun Shiling, "Behave yourself, or I''ll beat you to death¡­"

    With that, Xia Wei turned around and left.

    After Xia Wei left, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. "He''s a child. Don''t argue with him. What he said just now was nonsense. Don''t take it to heart. I''ll bandage your wound first."

    With that, Xia Wanyuan took the medical bag and began to bandage Jun Shiling.

    Xia Wei was very ruthless. Jun Shiling''s arm was already bleeding. Xia Wanyuan carefully applied medicine for him, her cold eyes looking even more beautiful under the warm light.

    Jun Shiling could not help but say, "Actually, your brother was right about something just now."

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Jun Shiling''s deep eyes. "What words?"

    "I do covet your beauty." If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that they were deliberately teasing her.

    However, Jun Shiling''s gaze and expression did not make one feel that he was teasing her. He was too serious, so serious that what he said was just a simple statement.

    Yet, for the third time, Xia Wanyuan blushed.

    The red color began to spread from her ear and climbed onto her cheek bit by bit. She was hazy under the light.

    "Young Master, you¡­" Xia Wanyuan suppressed the ripples in her heart and frowned slightly at Jun Shiling. "Don''t you think you''re too rash to say such things to someone you just met?"

    Jun Shiling lowered his head, not knowing if he was happy or sad. "We''ve known each other for a long time."

 Chapter 1543 Ancient And Modern

    At that moment, the wind and rain outside the window had stopped slightly, sending in the faint fragrance of the autumn chrysanthemums. It circled Jun Shiling''s hazy eyes, giving off a hint of loneliness.

    Jun Shiling''s voice was soft just now, so Xia Wanyuan did not hear what he said. "What did you say just now?"

    Jun Shiling looked up and restrained the disappointment in his eyes. He smiled at Xia Wanyuan. "It''s nothing. It''ste. Go and rest."

    "I packed a guest room for you. Go and rest too."

    "Okay, thank you."

    After bringing Jun Shiling to the guest room, Xia Wanyuan returned to her room andy on the bed, listening to the rain outside the window. For some reason, Xia Wanyuan had a baffling thought.

    The nket I had prepared for Jun Shiling seemed a little thin. I wonder if he would be cold under it.

    This thought came inexplicably. When Xia Wanyuan realized that she was thinking about Jun Shiling, sheughed and thought to herself that she did not know what was wrong with her today.

    It was already veryte. Xia Wanyuan blew out the light and gradually fell asleep.

    On the other hand, in the guest room, the smell of the nket that had been exposed to the sunlight lingered at the tip of his nose. There was also a faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling pulled the nket closer. For the first time in a long time, he had a good sleep.

    After a long time, in Beijing Hospital in China, Xuan Sheng''s eyes shed with pity as he looked at the woman wrapped in gauze in the ward.

    Because her injuries were too serious, this unknown woman had been lying in the ICU for three months, but she still showed no signs of waking up.

    "Can she be saved?" Xuan Sheng looked at Shen Xiu. No matter what, this woman had suffered such a serious injury because of Xia Wanyuan. Logically speaking, regardless of whether she could be saved or not, Xuan Sheng would be responsible to the end.

    "We can only take it one step at a time. Her injuries are too serious." Shen Xiu shook his head. "Her skin has been stripped off. To be honest, unless we can get Yu Qian to appear, he''s the best doctor in the world now."<novelnext></novelnext>

    However, everyone knew that it was impossible to invite Yu Qian. Ever since the incident in the temple, not only had Jiang Qing disappeared, but even Yu Qian had disappeared. Even Little Xiaxia could not find Yu Qian, let alone anyone else.

    On an ind far from the world, on a tall ancient castle, a bleak figure was standing in front of the window, gently sipping the red wine in his ss.

    "Continent Master, the little princess is sending a signal here again."

    It was unknown how many times Little Xiaxia had sent signals to the ind. Previously, Yu Qian clearly doted on Little Xiaxia very much. The servants did not know what had happened. After returning this time, Yu Qian was even more closed off than before.

    He locked himself in this ancient castle. Even Little Xiaxia''s call could not make Yu Qian''s expression change at all.

    Yu Qian looked down at the letter in the servant''s hand. "Block her."

    "Yes." The servant was about to turn around with the letter when Yu Qian stopped her. "Show me the letter."

    "Yes." The servant handed the letter to Yu Qian before turning to leave.

    Yu Qian turned on the monitor and took a look. Little Xiaxia was still using themunication signalbination code he had taught her. There was a beautiful little flower on the interface and a little person crying.

    "Uncle Yu, Mom and Dad aren''t back yet. Are you ignoring me too??"

    Yu Qian''s hand that was holding the monitor moved slightly.

    At this moment, the screen on the monitor suddenly shed, and Little Xiaxia''s smiling face appeared on the screen.

    "Uncle Yu, you didn''t expect this, right?? I can crack your system now. Am I amazing?"

 Chapter 1544 Untitled

    Seeing Little Xiaxia, whom he had not seen in a long time, a ripple shed across Yu Qian''s cold eyes. "Didn''t your father tell you??"

    Although Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had not returned, Xiao Bao and Little Jiajin had raised her very well. Little Xiaxia was even fatter than when she left back then. Her bright eyes were filled with excitement.

    "What?" Little Xiaxia smiled at Yu Qian with a row of white teeth and dimples on her face.

    "Back then, Jun Shiling specially sent you to me. If not for the many benefits he gave me, I wouldn''t have taken care of you at all," Yu Qian replied coldly to Little Xiaxia. His gazended on the potted nt beside him and he did not look at Little Xiaxia on the screen.

    A hint of sadness shed across Little Xiaxia''s eyes, but soon, she stared at the camera again. "Uncle Yu, did my father install cameras in the castle??"

    Yu Qian turned to look at Little Xiaxia. "Of course not."

    A smile bloomed on Little Xiaxia''s face. "Since there are no surveince cameras, Uncle Yu, you can hand me over to the nanny and butler to take care of. Why did you take care of me personally??"

    Yu Qian was stunned. "That''s because I want you to think that I''m good and then you won''t be close to Jun Shiling."

    "Hmph." Little Xiaxia had facial features simr to Xia Wanyuan''s, but the expression on her face was different from hers. She mischievously wrinkled her nose at Yu Qian. "Uncle Yu, you''re lying. I''m very close to Daddy, and I''m very close to Uncle Yu!!!"

    Yu Qian frowned. "I''m hanging up."

    "No!!!" Little Xiaxia began to cry. "Uncle Yu, you don''t want me anymore. Boohoo."

    Little Xiaxia had grown up by Yu Qian''s side. To be honest, she had never cried because as long as it was her request, Yu Qian would satisfy her.

    However, under this atmosphere of agreeing to everything, Little Xiaxia did not grow crooked. Other than being especially lively, her worldview was not like that of a child raised by Yu Qian, who had an antisocial personality.

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s tears falling one by one, Yu Qian frowned slightly. "Stop crying."

    "No, then Uncle Yu, when are youing to visit me?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    "I''ve signed a treaty. A and D worlds won''t interact for a hundred years. I won''t return to China anymore." Hidden Continent had only developed under Jiang Qing''s lead.

    Jiang Qing was extremely invasive to begin with. He was from the hidden family and knew some secret techniques that had long been lost in the modern world. Furthermore, he used this to control many people.

    After Jiang Qing left, the secret technique he had once cast on everyone lost its effect. Just like An Lin, Jiang Qing''s disappearance had disappeared with all the traces he had left behind.

    Now that Hidden Continent was leaderless, in order to avoid another war, the two sides signed a treaty that they would not be in contact for a hundred years. As for Yu Qian, he returned to the ind from D World the day before the treaty took effect.

    Hearing Yu Qian''s exnation, Little Xiaxia frowned and wanted to cry again, but Yu Qian stopped her. "You''re not allowed to cry."

    Little Xiaxia settled for the next best thing. "Uncle Yu, it''s fine if you don''t let me see you, but can we video call often in the future??"

    "Mm." Yu Qian hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.

    "Okay!!" Little Xiaxia began to tell Yu Qian all sorts of fun things like before. Yu Qian listened quietly, his eyebrows rxed.

    In the manor, Little Jiajin stood beside Xiao Bao. "Brother, do you know who that Yu Qian is??"

    Xiao Bao knew. He looked at Little Xiaxia quietly. "He''s a bad person."

    "Huh? Then why did you agree to let Sister contact him?"

    Xiao Bao''s gazended on Little Xiaxia''s smiling face. "Perhaps in a special sense, he''s also a pitiful person."

    Little Jiajin seemed to understand. "Brother, will Daddy and Mommye back?"

    Xiao Bao lowered his head and stroked Little Jiajin''s head. "Definitely. They''ll definitelye back."

 Chapter 1545 Promise Of Protection

    Under Little Xiaxia''s coaxing and pestering, Yu Qian finally agreed to her various reasonable and unreasonable requests. Seeing that Little Xiaxia was amused happily, Xiao Bao and Little Jiajin stopped thinking of turning off Little Xiaxia''s video.

    The two of them left Little Xiaxia''s room. Just as they walked downstairs, they saw a little dumpling with red lips and white teeth climbing up the stairs.

    "Little Qingli, what''s going on? Why didn''t you greet Brother??" Little Jiajin stopped Little Qingli. "Sister is busy. Don''t disturb her."

    Xiao Qingli was furious. Every time he came to y with his sister, he was stopped. He pushed Little Jiajin''s hand away. "You''re talking nonsense. Sister isn''t even in school. What is she busy with??"

    "Even if she''s not busy, she''s still my sister. If you want to y with her, you have to queue behind me." Little Jiajin righteously showed off his privilege as Little Xiaxia''s second brother.

    Xiao Qingli was stunned by Little Jiajin''s words. He thought for a long time and finally ran out with a frown. He could not figure out this rtionship. He wanted to go home and look for his mother.

    In the Bo family, An Rao was fighting in King''s Canyon when Xiao Qingli suddenly staggered into her arms.

    An Rao looked at her teammates who had been wiped out, then at the crying Xiao Qingli. She decisively decided to sell her son first.

    "Baby, be good. Daddy bought you a cake. Daddy misses you. Can you look for Daddy first and then Mommy?"

    Xiao Qingli wiped her tears pitifully and ran to look for Bo Xiao.

    Seeing his son crying until his nose was red, Bo Xiao smiled and carried him over. "Aiyo, my son, why are you crying like this?? Who bullied you??"

    "The second brother of the Jun family." Xiao Qingli cried. "He doesn''t let me y with Little Xiaxia."

    Bo Xiao could not help butugh. So he had failed to fight for favor.

    He pinched Little Qingli''s soft face. "He''s Little Xiaxia''s second brother. Little Xiaxia must listen to him first."

    Xiao Qingli widened his bright eyes. "Daddy, then I want to be the closest person to Sister Xiaxia. Who is that??"

    Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Then you have to protect her well, like Daddy protects Mommy. Maybe you''ll have a chance to be Sister Xiaxia''s closest person in the future."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xiao Qingli nodded as if he understood. "Okay, Daddy. I''ll definitely protect Sister Xiaxia well."

    A small promise began to sprout at this moment. At this moment, everyone only treated this as a joke. No one expected that in Xiao Qingli''s life, he would engrave this sentence in his life.

    In Beijing Hospital, Xuan Sheng had just walked to the door of the ward when he saw doctors and nurses swarming out.

    "What''s wrong??"

    Seeing that it was Xuan Sheng, Shen Xiu stopped in his tracks. "The patient you sent is awake, but the patient''s survival consciousness doesn''t seem to be very strong. She''s regained her senses, but she''s not cooperating with the treatment."

    Xuan Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He walked into the ward and took a look.

    At this moment, a person covered in gauze was lying on the bed. Sensing someone enter, this person seemed to be afraid and subconsciously retreated.

    Because she had been modified by Yu Qian previously, the various tissues on her had already been destroyed once.

    In order to prevent her wound from being destroyed a second time, Shen Xiu and the rest did not repair her skin. Now, her body was covered by a high-tech light membrane, and under the light membrane was exposed flesh.

    The closer Xuan Sheng got, the more resistant the person on the bed became. Xuan Sheng finally stopped and turned to look at Shen Xiu. "What''s wrong with her??"

    "Maybe it''s a stress reaction." Shen Xiu gestured for Xuan Sheng to go out first. "Go out first. I''ll be in charge offorting her."

    Xuan Sheng nodded and turned to walk out. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he subconsciously turned around and met the gaze of the patient behind him.

    Unexpectedly, Xuan Sheng would suddenly turn around. Lu Li turned her head in a panic and buried herself under the nket.

    Puzzlement shed across Xuan Sheng''s eyes. For some reason, the person on the bed kept making him feel a little strange.

 Chapter 1546 - 1546 Lecher

    1546 Lecher

    However, Xuan Sheng did not have time to think before an important call came in. Xuan Sheng pressed the answer button and walked out of the ward.

    Shen Xiu noticed Lu Li¡¯s abnormality and walked up to her. ¡°Are you a little afraid of CEO Xuan?? CEO Xuan only looks a little cold. Actually, he¡¯s quite a good person. He saved you.¡±

    As Shen Xiu spoke, he checked Lu Li¡¯s various statistics. When he turned around, he saw that Lu Li¡¯s eyes were actually filled with tears.

    Shen Xiu was a little shocked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?? Is there something difficult to say?¡±

    Lu Li shook her head and did not say anything, but there was obvious sadness in her eyes.

    The patient was unwilling to say anything, so Shen Xiu did not ask further. He carefully applied the medicine to Lu Li and instructed her on some things to take note of before leaving. However, just as he turned around, Lu Li grabbed his clothes.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡±

    Lu Li gestured.

    ¡°You want to leave??¡±

    Lu Li nodded and looked at Shen Xiu pleadingly.

    ¡°Why?? You can receive the best treatment here.¡± Lu Li¡¯s injuries were still very serious. In Shen Xiu¡¯s opinion, it was not a wise choice to be discharged now.

    However, Lu Li was very persistent. She looked at Shen Xiu pleadingly and gestured to him.

    Looking at Lu Li¡¯s hand signal, Shen Xiu thought of her background. ¡°Are you worried about being pursued?? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. It¡¯s very safe here.¡±

    No matter what Shen Xiu said, Lu Li insisted on leaving. In the end, Shen Xiu had no choice but to persuade her as a doctor.

    Hence, when Xuan Sheng returned to the hospital to visit Lu Li after work, what awaited him was an empty ward.

    Knowing that this person had already left, Xuan Sheng nodded. ¡°I understand. Thank you.¡±

    Xuan Sheng nced at the empty ward. For some reason, he felt a little empty, as if he had lost something very important.

    The assistant was still waiting outside to pick him up for a meeting. Xuan Sheng did not continue to hesitate. After thanking Shen Xiu, he left the ward.

    After Xuan Sheng left, Lu Li slowly walked out from the corner beside the ward. She stood in front of the window and watched Xuan Sheng¡¯s car leave.

    When Xuan Sheng¡¯s car waspletely gone from sight, Lu Li turned around and left, heading towards the Beijing airport.

    Once she left, she would never return.

    ¡ª¡ª

    In the small courtyard, the autumn rain fell the entire night and only stopped at dawn. Birds flew past the window and woke up the people in the house.

    The moment Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, she did not get up. Instead, she looked at the window curtain in front of her and was stunned.

    I didn¡¯t seem to have a nightmarest night?

    Ever since her parents passed away, she had lived here with her younger siblings. Because she was vignt, she could not sleep well at night and had many dreams.

    However, she had actually slept until nowst night, so much so that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s headache had improved a lot recently.

    Xia Wanyuany on the bed for a while before getting up. When she opened the door, she realized that she had woken up four hourster than usual.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuane out, Xia Wei went up to her. ¡°Royal¡­ Sister.¡±

    ¡°Mm, where¡¯s the young master fromst night?¡±

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan ask Jun Shiling the moment she came out, Xia Wei was quite unhappy, but he still replied reluctantly, ¡°He¡¯s repairing the roof over there and even made breakfast. Hmph, it¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s a lecher who wants to lie to you to make you happy. Sister, don¡¯t believe him.¡±

 Chapter 1547 - 1547 Want to Be Your Brother-in-law

    1547 Want to Be Your Brother-inw

    Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window. On the roof opposite, Jun Shiling had rolled up his sleeves and was repairing the roof. The morning sun rose behind him, making him look like he was ted with ayer of golden light.

    They were clearly so far apart, but Jun Shiling still instinctively noticed Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze on him. He nced at Xia Wanyuan and a smile instantly appeared in his eyes.

    Jun Shiling was dirty when he camest night. One could only tell that he had an extraordinary temperament. After a night of recuperation, Jun Shiling had specially tidied himself up in the morning.

    Even though Jun Shiling was wearing the simplest linen clothes, it reminded one of a poem.

    The pines were as green as jade, and the men were unique.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was still sixteen. Even though she was mature, she could not withstand such a gaze. She closed the window and covered Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze.

    However, the moment the windowpletely fell, Xia Wanyuan could not help but nce at Jun Shiling through the gap in the window.

    Xia Wei, who was standing at the side, saw Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reaction and pulled her arm unhappily. ¡°Sister, he¡¯s a bad person. Can you let him leaveter??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. Now that the few of them were hiding here, they really shouldn¡¯t cause more trouble. ¡°Okay.¡±

    With Xia Wanyuan¡¯s permission, Xia Wei went out happily, then waved at Jun Shiling on the roof. ¡°Hey, you,e down. I have something to tell you.¡±

    Looking at Xia Wei, who was standing below, Jun Shiling thought of the emperor Xia Wei he had once seen, who was as deep as the sea.

    Jun Shiling suddenly felt a little emotional. In fact, after Xia Wanyuan passed away, the heavy responsibility Xia Wei had picked up must not have been small. Otherwise, how could such an arrogant and unrestrained youth have be such a monarch who did not show his emotions after so many years?

    Seeing that Jun Shiling was ignoring him, Xia Wei waved at him. ¡°Hey,e down.¡±

    When Jun Shiling came down from the roof, Xia Wei looked up at the man who was much taller than him. ¡°Leave after breakfast. Stop having designs on my sister. My sister is not someone you can covet.¡±

    Looking at the young man in front of him, Jun Shilingughed. ¡°What if I don¡¯t leave???¡±

    ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong with you??¡± Xia Wei was furious. ¡°Do you believe that I¡¯ll report you to the officials to arrest you? Why are you still staying at someone else¡¯s house??¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow and pointed at the roof. ¡°I know how to repair this.¡±

    ¡°So what?¡±

    ¡°I can sleep in the front hall at night and help you keep watch.¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯t need you.¡±

    ¡°I can bring you to ride horses and hunt. I can help your sister earn money and stop her from suffering and running around.¡±

    ¡°Then¡­¡± Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling hesitantly. He had always known that Xia Wanyuan was sewing clothes for others to supplement the family¡¯s expenses. Even if his heart ached, there was nothing he could do. He was still young, and Xia Wanyuan did not allow him to go out at all. He could not help Xia Wanyuan at all.

    ¡°How is it?¡± Jun Shiling asked again.

    Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°What¡¯s your goal?? Who would be so kind?¡±

    ¡°My goal?¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan walking over, a smile shed across Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes. ¡°Does wanting to be your brother-inw count?? Can¡¯t you just treat it as me taking care of my brother-inw??¡±

    Not far away, Xia Wanyuan happened to hear Jun Shiling¡¯s words and her footsteps panicked for a moment.

 Chapter 1548 Ambition

    Ever since he was young, there had been many men who admired Xia Wanyuan. There were nobles and royalty, as well as unrestrained young masters. However, no one would stand in front of him and tell him so directly that they were here for his sister.

    What was even stranger was that Xia Wei did not dislike Jun Shiling much. It was probably because the emotions in Jun Shiling''s eyes were too sincere, so sincere that no one could question Jun Shiling''s words.

    However, Xia Wei was still very unhappy that his sister was coveted. Xia Wei snorted coldly at Jun Shiling. "Don''t be a toad who wants to eat swan meat. My sister won''t like you."

    Jun Shiling did not say anything and only smiled faintly. "Your sister is up. I''ll make something to eat."

    With that, Jun Shiling turned around and walked towards the kitchen. When he turned around, he bumped into Xia Wanyuan, who was walking over. Meeting those clear eyes, Jun Shiling nodded slightly.

    When the two of them passed each other, Jun Shiling did not miss the lingering redness on Xia Wanyuan''s ear. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the hard work and fatigue from the morning were swept away.

    Looking at Jun Shiling''s attitude of treating himself as the host, Xia Wei was about to die of anger. Heined to Xia Wanyuan, "Sister, look at him!!! Chase him away after breakfast."

    Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Xia Wei''s shoulder tofort him. "Actually, you don''t hate him, right?"

    Xia Wanyuan knew Xia Wei the best. She could tell that Xia Wei did not hate Jun Shiling. Xia Wei would probably not say anything to people he hated.

    "Hmph." Xia Wei raised his chin. "He has ulterior motives towards you."

    Xia Wanyuan''s ears heated up slightly. She looked unnaturally in the direction of the kitchen. "Let''s watch for two days first. If we can have another person here, it''s not a bad thing."

    "Sister ~" Xia Wei felt a strong sense of danger. He could tell that that lecher was probably going to seed.

    "Alright, go and practice your swordsmanship." Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xia Wei with a serious expression.

    "Alright." Xia Wei turned around dejectedly. "Sister, I''m going to practice my swordsmanship. Call me if you need anything."

    "Mm."<novelnext></novelnext>

    ...

    In the office of Shanglin County, 500 kilometers away from Longguan, Jiang Qing was talking to the king.

    "Aiya, Nephew, you''re really brilliant. As you said, after that mountain bandit snatched the official money, he walked southeast by water. Fortunately, we arrived in time. Otherwise, when they entered the water, my so much money would have been wasted."

    Receiving the king''s praise, Jiang Qing smiled. "It''s my honor to be able to help you."

    "In your opinion, what will happen next?" The king looked at Jiang Qing expectantly. "I''m quite convinced of you now. As long as you say it, I''ll get someone to arrange for it to do as you say."

    The corners of Jiang Qing''s lips curled up as he pointed at the location of Longguan Town on the map.

    "Prince, look here. The remnants of the Great Xia Dynasty are hidden in this town."

    Duke Lin''s eyes suddenly widened. "Nephew, are you serious??"

    Jiang Qing looked around. The king immediately understood and gestured for the servants to leave.

    When only Jiang Qing and the king were in the living room, Jiang Qing looked at the king with a deep gaze. "Prince, have you never thought of ruling the world?"

    "Nephew, you..."

    Before Duke Lin could say anything, he was stopped by Jiang Qing. "Prince Lin, now that the heroes are fighting for supremacy, you have arge army and are guarding the Yellow River. Your geographical location is unique. As a man, do you really not have the ambition to rule the world and be worshiped by hundreds of officials??"

    As soon as Jiang Qing finished speaking, Duke Lin fell silent.

 Chapter 1549 Enemy

    The current Commandery Prince Wu Wei was actually an official of the Great Xia Dynasty.

    After the Great Xia Dynasty was broken through by the rebels, Wu Wei relied on his superior position in his county to dominate the north of the Yellow River. He recruited troops and recruited talents in the world, quickly bing the dominator of the world. Under his hands, many talents gathered.

    However, even though his power was so strong, Jiang Qing in his previous life did not care about it. He thought highly of himself and felt that he was also a tyrant in Jiangdong. He had never bothered to mix with these smelly fish and prawns.

    However, now, when he returned here with the memories of his previous life, the first thing he thought of was toe to the Wu family incognito and be Wu Wei''s subordinate.

    Wu Wei''s ability to be an overlord so quickly did not have much to do with his personal ability. It was mainly because his ancestor had left him arge number of resources.

    After giving him a fertilend and a natural defense that could resist arge number of attacks, Wu Wei easily obtained the best primitive umtion.

    Just Wu Wei alone was not very capable, but he was very ambitious.

    Jiang Qing only dared to say those words because he had targeted this side of him.

    As expected, Wu Wei hesitated for a while before looking up at Jiang Qing. "Nephew, you''re right. Now that the world is in chaos and heroes are fighting for supremacy, which man doesn''t want to reach the top?? Nephew, do you dare to say that you didn''t have such thoughts?"

    Hearing Wu Wei''s words, Jiang Qing immediately stood up and cupped his fists at Wu Wei. "By the heavens, I swear on the lives of my parents, wife, and children that I, Jiang Qin, don''t have any ulterior motives. I''m just amoner. It''s already my ancestors'' good deeds to be favored by the Duke. How would I dare to think of anything else? Duke, you''re wise."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Seeing Jiang Qing deny it so decisively, Wu Wei''s trust in Jiang Qing deepened. He stroked his beard and nodded. "Nephew, don''t think too much. That''s not what I meant. Nephew, why did you ask me to go to Longguan Town just now?"

    Seeing that Wu Wei had already removed his guard against him, Jiang Qing sat back down. "Royal Prince, even if you have the intention to fight for the Central ins now, your name is not legitimate after all. If you can control the emperor and order the dukes, won''t that be legitimate?"

    "Nephew, what you mean is that the surviving members of the Xia Dynasty in Longguan Town are? That''s impossible. They''ve clearly been beheaded by the rebels."

    "Prince, you might not know this." Jiang Qing sneered. "Back then, Xia Wanyuan used a golden cicada escape n and let a group of death row prisoners rece her and her younger siblings. Only then did she sessfully leave that ce and let the world think that they were already dead."

    "I see, but." Wu Wei was still a little wary of Jiang Qing. How did Jiang Qing know about this news that even he had not received?? "Where did Nephew learn this news?? Is it true?"

    Jiang Qing looked sad. "Because my younger brother was the person Xia Wanyuan made to be a scapegoat. I have an irreconcble hatred for them. I hope that you can stand up for me and let me sessfully avenge my poor younger brother''s vengeful spirit."

    As Jiang Qing spoke, tears appeared in his eyes.

    Looking at Jiang Qing''s sincere expression, Wu Wei finally believed him a little. He nodded. "Nephew, don''t worry. As long as you can really help me capture Xia Wanyuan and her younger brother, I''ll definitely let you personally kill Xia Wanyuan and avenge your family."

 Chapter 1550 - 1550 Future Husband

    1550 Future Husband

    Knowing that Wu Wei had finally let down his guard against him, Jiang Qing smiled slightly and a hint of smugness shed across his eyes. ¡°Thank you, Duke.¡±

    ¡°Okay, since Nephew said that there are remnants of the Xia Dynasty in Longguan Town, I¡¯ll give you a team of elite soldiers. Bring people over overnight. Within seven days, I want to see Xia Wanyuan and the rest standing in front of me.¡±

    Jiang Qing stood up. ¡°Prince, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let you down.¡±

    With that, Jiang Qing left the hall with the token Wu Wei had given him.

    Watching Jiang Qing leave, Wu Weile hummed a few tunes leisurely. He had already begun to imagine the scene of him obtaining the throne and ascending the throne.

    At this moment, in Longguan Town, Jun Shiling had already made breakfast and brought it to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at him in confusion.

    Even though many etiquettews were no longer strictly binding everyone in this chaotic world, things like a man cooking were still quite strange in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s understanding.

    Furthermore, a person like Jun Shiling did not look like an ordinary person. His aura vaguely exuded the nobility and arrogance of the royal family. It made her feel even stranger that such a man knew how to cook.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze, Jun Shiling smiled at her. ¡°Why??¡±

    ¡°I just feel that you actually know how to cook.¡± Xia Wanyuan nced at the noodles in the bowl. His culinary skills seemed to be not bad.

    ¡°Try it. If you like it, I can make it for you often in the future.¡± With that, Jun Shiling ced the chopsticks in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan tasted it and raised an eyebrow. The doubts in her heart deepened.

    She had been pampered by the chefs in the pce¡¯s imperial kitchen since she was young. Actually, she was a little picky and had many strange habits. What made her feel strange was that

    Jun Shiling¡¯s bowl of noodles miraculously catered to all her preferences. Was this a coincidence, or did we have a past that I did not know??

    ¡°Is it delicious??¡± Seeing Xia Wanyuan stop eating after taking a bite, Jun Shiling was worried that the young Xia Wanyuan¡¯s taste was different from before.

    ¡°Delicious.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded and picked up her chopsticks again to eat.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s rxed eyes, Jun Shiling smiled faintly.

    It seemed that Xia Wanyuan¡¯s taste had not changed much since she was young.

    Under Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze, Xia Wanyuan finally finished her breakfast. She put down her chopsticks. ¡°You want to stay here forever??¡±

    To Xia Wanyuan¡¯s surprise, Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°I want to leave. You guys should leave with me.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean??¡±

    Jun Shiling did not know how to exin to Xia Wanyuan that Jiang Qing might return to this era with his memories. Jiang Qing knew everything that happened every day in this era, and he definitely knew where Xia Wanyuan and the rest were hiding.

    Jun Shiling guessed that Jiang Qing would rush here soon. Xia Wanyuan was still young and did not have the ability topete with Jiang Qing, who had been preparing for a thousand years.

    Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment and looked straight into Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you believe me??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stared at Jun Shiling¡¯s deep ck eyes for a while, then nodded. ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°Then I have something to tell you next. Listen to me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The sunlight seeped down from the leaves and chased the shadows into the eaves bit by bit. When the shadows werepletely dispersed and a strand of sunlight shone on Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling was done.

    Looking at Jun Shiling in front of her, Xia Wanyuan, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, frowned slightly.

    ¡°You said that you¡¯re my future?¡±

    ¡°Husband,¡± Jun Shiling added.

 Chapter 1551 - 1551 Separation

    1551 Separation

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s words, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze was a little unnatural. ¡°What you¡¯re saying, I¡­¡±

    She wanted to say that she did not believe him, but Jun Shiling¡¯s sudden appearance, the emotions in his eyes, and his understanding of her¡­

    Xia Wanyuan knew very well that this level of understanding was something that even her younger siblings, who had grown up with her, had not reached.

    However, she still felt that it was such a fantasy. For some reason, I am involved with the man in front of me?? Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling and met his deep gaze. Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. ¡°You¡­¡±

    !!

    Jun Shiling knew the hesitation in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart. He smiled at her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯m here only to remind you to be careful of Jiang Qing. As for our matters, I¡¯ve never forced you.¡±

    Being seen through by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered unnaturally. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ¡°So, where are you going next?¡±

    Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and finally decided. ¡°Stay.¡±

    Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow in surprise, but in just an instant, he knew what Xia Wanyuan was thinking.

    Actually, before telling Xia Wanyuan these things, Jun Shiling had also thought that Xia Wanyuan would choose to go against Jiang Qing.

    However, considering that Xia Wanyuan was still young, her temperament should be rtively youngpared to the regent queen who had experienced all sorts of storms.

    However, he was wrong. Xia Wanyuan would always be Xia Wanyuan.

    There was always a sharpness hidden in her bones. She would never take a step back and always have the courage to move forward with everything.

    Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised by Jun Shiling¡¯s reaction. A smile appeared in her eyes. ¡°Thank you. I have something to ask of you.¡±

    ¡°Is it about your younger siblings?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. ¡°Three dayster, I agreed with the others to set off from here to Beiguan and meet my father¡¯s old subordinates there.¡±

    Jun Shiling knew the general Xia Wanyuan was talking about. He had heard from Xia Wanyuan that he was the most loyal general in the previous dynasty. After Xia Wanyuan found him, she had sessfully gathered her most primitive strength. From Beiguan, Xia Wanyuan began her undefeated journey for six years.

    ¡°What do you need me to do?¡± What Jun Shiling wanted to do the most at this moment was to stop Xia Wanyuan and not let her leave and stay by her side forever.

    However, he knew very well that be it in ancient or modern times, being under someone could not protect anyone.

    If Xia Wanyuan wanted to do what she had to do, he had to do his best to help her.

    From Xia Wei¡¯s experience, it could be seen that the final oue of this action of reversing time and space was disappearance.

    He still did not know when he would disappear from time and space, but before that, he had to help Xia Wanyuan remove all the obstacles.

    ¡°I have a master who lives in Zhongnan Mountain. There¡¯s a natural barrier there, and it¡¯s hidden in the mountains.¡± Xia Wanyuan took off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Jun Shiling. ¡°Please bring Xia Wei and the rest to Zhongnan Mountain.¡±

    Xia Wei and the rest were still young and had followed her everywhere. It would have been fine if they had lived an ordinary life, but she could see that her future days would definitely be filled with swords and spears. She could not take the risk of keeping them by her side.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan deeply. ¡°I¡¯lle back and look for you after I send them over.¡±

    Looking straight into Jun Shiling¡¯s deep eyes, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She nodded gently. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Jun Shiling stared at Xia Wanyuan for a while before finally lowering his head and gently touching her forehead, then quickly retreating.

    Xia Wanyuan was not on guard against Jun Shiling at all and let him seed.

    She widened her eyes at Jun Shiling and met the smile in his eyes. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was dyed red by the clouds in the sky.

 Chapter 1552 - 1552 Separated for Three Years

    1552 Separated for Three Years

    ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡± When she had once followed her father to argue with the schrs in the royal court, Xia Wanyuan had never stuttered. However, at this moment, she could not say a word for a long time.

    In the end, Xia Wanyuan said angrily, ¡°Lecher.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you just now?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°In a thousand years, you¡¯ll be my wife.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face heated up as she tried to defend herself. ¡°But now¡­¡±

    ¡°Since you¡¯re destined to be my wife in the future, can¡¯t I exercise my power in advance?¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes were smiling as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with obvious teasing.

    At her age, when had Xia Wanyuan ever been treated like this? Now, she was both embarrassed and angry. ¡°You said it was because we changed time and space. How do you know that it will still be the same in this era? Maybe we¡­¡±

    Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly stopped.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan could not say the words ¡°maybe we can¡¯t be together at all¡±.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. ¡°What about us?? Continue.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Since you¡¯re leaving, leave early. I¡¯ll call Xia Wei and the rest now. You should prepare yourself too.¡±

    With that, Xia Wanyuan was about to leave when Jun Shiling pulled her back.

    The next second, Xia Wanyuan fell into a warm embrace.

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and rested his chin on her head. He smiled gently. ¡°I know what you wanted to say just now and seem to understand why you couldn¡¯t say that sentence.¡±

    The royal family valued etiquette the most. Xia Wanyuan had never been so intimate with any man, not even with Xia Wei.

    Beside her was Jun Shiling¡¯s aura. Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears turned red. She subconsciously struggled. ¡°Let go of me.¡±

    Jun Shiling chuckled. ¡°ording to ourws, you¡¯re still underage. I won¡¯t do anything to you. I¡¯ll just hug you for a while.¡±

    Just for a while. It seemed like it had been a long time since I had hugged Xia Wanyuan like this.

    It was unknown if it was because of Jun Shiling¡¯s emotional tone or the gentle aura emanating from him, but Xia Wanyuan did not reject him and stayed quietly in Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    The sunlight leaked through the leaves, casting specks of shadows on the two of them. The breeze gently fluttered their sleeves, and it was harmonious and quiet.

    After some time, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face was so red that it could not be seen anymore. She finally could not help but pull Jun Shiling¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Is that enough?¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled and took a step back. His hands were still on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Look at me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan looked up slightly, almost melting from the warmth in Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Wait for me toe back and look for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Wanyuan nodded. There were traces of heat spreading in her heart. Under Jun Shiling¡¯s deep gaze, Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel her heart racing.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go look for Xia Wei.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡­-

    Ever since he came here, Xia Wei had be his younger siblings¡¯ teacher. Now, he was teaching his younger siblings to read.

    ¡°Xiao Yu, you didn¡¯t write the word correctly.¡± Xia Wei frowned and looked at his younger brother¡¯s words. He knocked his younger brother¡¯s head with the book.

    Xiao Yu was about to retort when she saw Jun Shiling standing at the door. He pointed at Jun Shiling. ¡°Brother, is he here to look for you?¡±

    Xia Wei understood Xia Wanyuan¡¯s thoughts the most, so he was very awkward with Jun Shiling at this moment.

    On the one hand, he knew that Jun Shiling was a good person and was here to help them.

    On the other hand, he was brooding over Xia Wanyuan¡¯s differential treatment of Jun Shiling.

    Hmph, she¡¯s such a good sister. No man is worthy of her.

    ¡°Come out for a while.¡± Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wei.

    As Xia Wei said, ¡°What are you doing here? You¡¯re so annoying.¡± He put down his book and walked out.

    After calling Xia Wei out, Jun Shiling went straight to the point and told him what had happened. ¡°Leave with me now.¡±

    Xia Wei did not know why he was following Jun Shiling, but he knew very well that danger must havee. His sister wanted to protect him.

    ¡°I won¡¯t leave.¡± Xia Wei was still young, but there was already the look of an emperor between his eyebrows. ¡°I want to stay and apany Sister. You can take Xiao Qiao and Xiao Yu away. I¡¯ll be wherever Sister is.¡±

    Although Xia Wei did not obey him, Jun Shiling was very relieved.

    Xia Wei was still the same Xia Wei. He could travel throughyers of time and space for Xia Wanyuan or disregard his life for her.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll leave your sister to you.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°Take good care of her. Don¡¯t tell anyone that I appeared.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    It was already noon. The autumn sun hung high in the sky without any heat. On the path outside the city, Jun Shiling was driving a carriage with two young children in it.

    After Xia Wanyuan bade farewell to her younger siblings, she pulled down the curtain and looked at Jun Shiling. ¡°Be careful.¡±

    Jun Shiling smiled. ¡°Okay, wait for me.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling raised the whip rope and was about to leave when Xia Wanyuan took out a small sachet from somewhere and threw it into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms.

    Jun Shiling reached out to catch it. At that moment, the horse had already walked forward. Jun Shiling pulled the reins and looked back. Xia Wanyuan was standing elegantly under the tree.

    Neither of them would have thought that they would be separated for three years just like this.

 Chapter 1553 News

    ? Three yearster,

    "Princess, Jiang Qing has already intercepted our food team with the rebels. Our current food supply can''tst long." The soldier rushed into the camp and reported thetest military information to Xia Wanyuan.

    In the tent, Xia Wanyuan was discussing the next step with the generals.

    Hearing this news, obvious panic appeared on the others'' faces. Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan in unison.

    Three years ago, after parting ways with Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei went to find the subordinates of the previous dynasty.

    These subordinates had risked their lives with thete emperor back then. They naturally treated Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei as if they were their biological children and helped them.

    After the previous dynasty fell, the previous forces were scattered everywhere because they no longer had a backbone that could gather them.

    As for Xia Wanyuan, she was the princess of the previous dynasty, and Xia Wei was the legitimate crown prince. With the two of them holding down the fort, those scattered subordinates slowly gathered.

    In the past three years, Xia Wanyuan''s forces had gradually grown. They had already upied about two-thirds of the south of the Yellow River and looked north of the Yellow River upied by Jiang Qing.

    Three years ago, Jiang Qing had raided Long Guan but could not find Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei. At first, he had thought that Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei had returned to the present with the memories of their previous lives.

    However, after fighting with Xia Wanyuan for the past few years, doubts gradually arose in Jiang Qing''s heart. Perhaps Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei did not remember what had happened in their previous lives. It was only because time had reversed that some things had deviated.

    Although Xia Wanyuan did not have the memories of her previous life, she had not been able to gain much of the upper hand in her fight with Jiang Qing over the years.

    Because Xia Wanyuan had learned from Jun Shiling that Jiang Qing had memories of his previous life, all these years, when Xia Wanyuan made any decisions, she would immediately overturn her previous train of thought and use another method.

    As a result, even if Jiang Qing knew what Xia Wanyuan had done in his previous life, it would be difficult for him topletely control the entire situation.

    However, although Jiang Qing could not control Xia Wanyuan, he could control the others in the world. Their way of doing things did not change much from his previous life.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had already instructed the team to change the route of transporting food in advance, there were not many official roads in this era. No matter how much they changed, there were always some roads that could not be detoured.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jiang Qing waited at these ces and intercepted all the food.

    "Don''t panic first." Xia Wanyuan gestured for the generals to quieten down. "How many days can our foodst?"

    "Three days." A general stood up. "Princess, the war with South County is tense. The battle definitely won''t end in three days. If there''s no food in three days, our team willpletely return."

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at the map, then pointed at Qinghu Town beside South County. "If I remember correctly, because of poverty, the previous years were tax-free. General Zhang, go and investigate here first."

    Seeing where Xia Wanyuan was pointing, everyone had different expressions. "This is a poor town. I''m afraid..."

    "Let''s take a look first. If it doesn''t work, we''ll think of a way."

    After Xia Wanyuan gave the order, the others could not say anything else. After the meeting ended, everyone left the tent and did their respective missions.

    After everyone retreated, the curtain of the tent was pulled open and a tall figure walked in.

    "Sister."

    The person who entered was Xia Wei. After three years, Xia Wei hadpletely shed his youthfulness and be Xia Wanyuan''s most trustworthy support.

    "Mm." Xia Wanyuan was reading a memorial. "Is there any news of Xiao Yu and the rest?"

    "Sister, Xiao Yu and the rest are staying well in Zhongnan Mountain. What news can there be?? You probably want to ask if there''s any news of Jun Shiling, right??"

    The brush in Xia Wanyuan''s hand paused slightly, and the tip of the brush rippled on the paper. "Then, is there any news of him??"

    "No, Sister, do you think this person disappeared?? It''s been three years, and we''ve sent so many people to look for him, but there''s no news at all."

 Chapter 1554 King Ning An

    Hearing Xia Wei''s words, Xia Wanyuan''s eyes narrowed. "Perhaps."

    After all, Jun Shiling had once told her that he came from the future, so he might have returned to his original world.

    Three years ago, when Jun Shiling exined his background to Xia Wanyuan, he did not exin in detail. He was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would feel pressured, so he only said that he had married her in the modern world. Jun Shiling did not tell Xia Wanyuan about their children.

    At this moment, Xia Wanyuan thought of the scene when Jun Shiling returned and could not help but wonder if Jun Shiling would marry someone else.

    "Sister, what are you thinking?? Why are you so engrossed??" Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been in a daze, Xia Wei reached out and waved in front of her. "How do you n to deal with Jiang Qing? His attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer. Last month, he had already recovered Nancheng. From the looks of it, he''s preparing to outnk our territory."

    Xia Wanyuan put aside the other thoughts in her mind for the time being. She focused and began to think of a way to deal with Jiang Qing.

    "Have you heard of the newly risen Yan Army??" Xia Wanyuan''s gaze wandered on the map and finally stopped on the easternmost piece ofnd.

    In the past few years, heroes hadpeted and risen. Among them was a very mysterious King Ning An. He had made a fortune in the east and in just two years, he had turned arge area in the east into fertilend, allowing the people to live and work in peace.

    At the same time, it was unknown what method he had used to make the army he controlled be one of the three great iron armies in the Central ins in a short period of time. The me Army was one of the sharpest forces under him. They had never lost a battle.

    Xia Wei had naturally heard of the reputation of this Yan Army. Puzzlement shed across his eyes. "Sister, why are you suddenly talking about this?? Don''t tell me you''re looking for King Ning An to ally with him?? Didn''t we try before? It''s impossible for him to agree."

    As thetest dark horse, King Ning An naturally received the attention of the surrounding countries. Many people threw him an olive branch, but without exception, regardless of whether the other party was strong or weak, King Ning An rejected everyone''s alliance.<novelnext></novelnext>

    In fact, he had always shown himself in a mask and had never interacted with people from other countries. As a result, even though King Ning An''s reputation was spread throughout the world, no one knew what he looked like.

    With such a powerful force entrenched in their east, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei had also sent people to King Ning An''s territory to submit a visit letter.

    In fact, because this person had risen too quickly and acted too strangely, Xia Wanyuan had a very bold guess in her heart. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had personally gone to visit this person at Ning An Manor.

    However, like everyone else, the visit letter was returned.

    It was winter when Xia Wanyuan went. That year, it was snowing heavily in Ning An. Xia Wanyuan stood at the door for more than half an hour, but she was still rejected.

    Hearing the news of rejection, Xia Wanyuan''s hopes were dashed. In the end, she did not say anything and left Ning An. Later on, she did not mention King Ning An again.

    For some reason, Xia Wanyuan suddenly mentioned this person.

    "Let''s try again." Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Wei. "Now, he''s our only hope of breaking out of the situation. As long as King Ning An is willing to ally with us, Jiang Qing''s plot to surround us will not seed."

    Just like Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Qing had the same thoughts. At the same time, two invitations entered King Ning An''s manor.

 Chapter 1555 Peach Flower

    In King Ning An''s manor, two important documents were urgently sent over. However, just as the soldier arrived at the door, he was shocked by the strong cosmetic smell in the manor.

    The soldier subconsciously looked at the butler beside him. "Butler, does King Ning An have time to read the memorial today?"

    "Of course. What are you thinking? Don''t worry, these people will be chased outter."

    Just as the butler finished speaking, arge group of fat and thin beauties walked out of the residence crying. There were more than a hundred of them.

    The soldiers were stunned. The butler shook his head helplessly. "This is the third wave of the month. Alright, King Ning An is free now. If you have anything to say, go in and say it."

    In just three years, King Ning An had be one of the three heroes of the Central ins. Countless people wanted to cling to this new overlord.

    However, King Ning An did not take over money and bribery, and power was not attractive to him. Hence, everyone set their sights on the beauty.

    However, it was unknown if this King Ning An really did not love beauties or if in order to maintain a good image in front of the world, the beauties that everyone sent to his residence were all returned.

    Everyone thought that he was picky and chose the most beautiful ones from all over to send over. Among so many people, he only chose one to stay.

    However, one could be considered a breakthrough. Everyone thought that they had grasped King Ning An''s preferences and sent beauties here more frequently. However, their luck was worse today and none of them could stay.

    The soldier followed the butler into the manor. Unlike the grandeur outside, the decorations in the manor looked more ordinary, low-key, and restrained.

    After turning around a few corridors, the butler bowed respectfully in front of the study. "Your Majesty, there''s an urgent letter."

    A deep voice came from the room with indescribable dignity. "Come in."

    The butler gestured for the soldier to enter. The moment the soldier stepped through the threshold, he felt an extremely strong aura. He stepped forward fearfully and handed the document over.

    "This¡­ This¡­ This is a document sent from the King of Jiangdong and the Xia family. You¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Because he was too nervous, the soldier stammered. However, King Ning An did not criticize the soldier much. He said in a low voice, "Bring it over."

    "Okay."

    The soldier carefully handed the things behind the table. A pair of well-defined hands reached out to take the document. It was actually a pair of extremely young-looking hands.

    There was the sound of pages flipping in front of him. The soldier was still a young man who had just entered the military camp. He was very curious about the legendary King Ning An.

    He secretly looked up to see what this King Ning An looked like, but just as he moved, the person in front of him said, "What are you looking at?"

    The soldier was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to look up again.

    "You can leave." After a while, the man behind the table finally spoke.

    The soldier did not even have time to wipe the sweat off his face and quickly retreated.

    After the soldier left, the man behind the table picked up the document and looked at the beautiful words carefully.

    The breeze carried the petals outside the window and gently floated on the man''s shoulder.

    The man did not seem to notice and looked at the letter in his hand seriously. After a while, he lowered his head slightly and took off the peach blossom petals on his shoulder. Then, he sandwiched them in the envelope and carefully sealed them.

    As for the other letter, the man did not even look at it and burned it with a match.

    That day, a huge piece of news broke out.

    King Ning An had agreed to cooperate with Jiang Qing.

 Chapter 1556 - 1556 Meeting

    1556 Meeting

    The news quickly reached Xia Wanyuan¡¯s ears. Xia Wei frowned tightly. ¡°Sister, what do you think this Ning Shijun is thinking?? Hasn¡¯t he always been neutral?? Why did he suddenly agree to an alliance with Jiang Qing?¡±

    Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan originally thought that the worst oue would be that King Ning An remained neutral, and they would carry the pressure and continue to fight Jiang Qing.

    However, they did not expect the situation to be so bad. Once King Ning An and Jiang Qing reached an agreement, the Xia family¡¯s territory would be in danger.

    Xia Wanyuan was also very worried, but at the same time, she was a little dazed. Looking at King Ning An¡¯s description on the memorial, Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. ¡°So King Ning An¡¯s real name is Ning Shijun.¡±

    !!

    King Ning An was too mysterious. He had risen too quickly in the past few years. The world only knew that he was King Ning An, who ruled eighteen continents and twenty-four counties. No one paid attention to his real name.

    After Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reminder, Xia Wei was a little puzzled. He nced at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s expression. ¡°Sister, if I remember correctly, was that lecher three years ago called Jun Shiling??¡±

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She was silent and finally shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    At that moment, the soldier reported from outside, ¡°Reporting to the crown prince and princess, there¡¯s news that King Jiangdong and King Ning An will meet at Yong¡¯an Ferry in three days.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan put away the other thoughts in her mind and looked at Xia Wei. ¡°No matter who he is, we can¡¯t reach an alliance this time.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Xia Wei nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll bring my troops to investigate first.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    At this moment, on a tall city tower in the north of the Yellow River, Jiang Qing looked at the letter in front of him and felt puzzled. ¡°Jun Shiling, Ning Shijun, is this a coincidence, or? Jun Shiling also came to this era??¡±

    No matter what, in three days, he wanted to meet this King Ning An and see who he was.

    This meeting that attracted the attention of the world was destined to be bumpy.

    On the way from the camp to Yong¡¯an Ferry, King Ning An¡¯s team suffered nearly six attacks in just two days.

    However, without exception, they fell under the iron cavalry of the Ning An Army.

    On thest day, less than ten kilometers away from Yong¡¯an, the Ning An Army was ambushed for thest time. This time, the person leading the team was Xia Wei.

    Xia Wei also wanted to know if this mysterious man was Jun Shiling, so he got a slender soldier to put on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s clothes and rushed into the enemy camp with him.

    This soldier was wearing a helmet and looked like a woman. Even his fighting actions were the usual moves of a woman.

    He passed through the crowd and rushed straight towards King Ning An¡¯s carriage.

    Just as he was about to approach the carriage, a sword stabbed out from the carriage, aimed straight at the soldier¡¯s heart.

    Although the soldier dodged in time, the person in the car clearly had killing intent. The tip of the sword turned and neatly stabbed three inches under the soldier¡¯s throat.

    Just as everyone was fighting, the sound of hooves could be heard not far away. Seeing this, Xia Wei knew that the team sent by Jiang Qing had arrived. He turned around and looked at King Ning An¡¯s carriage, denying his guess. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Not long after Xia Wei¡¯s team left, Jiang Qing brought them to the carriage. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of King Ning An¡¯s name. Greetings.¡±

    The curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a pair of jade-like hands held the door. In the next second, a gentle face appeared in front of everyone.

    He nodded slightly at Jiang Qing. ¡°King Jiang Dong.¡±

    Looking at this young but unfamiliar face, Jiang Qing was a little surprised. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the famous King Ning An to be so young.¡±

 Chapter 1557 Back Then

    King Ning An smiled slightly, looking like a gentleman. "King Jiang Dong is also young. It takes one to know one."

    Seeing that the person in front of him was different from Jun Shiling in terms of appearance and temperament, the doubts in Jiang Qing''s heart dissipated a little, but he still had a hint of scruples.

    In order to be foolproof, Jiang Qing still had to make the final confirmation. He looked at King Ning An in front of him and felt that there was a hint of familiarity in his eyes. "King Ning An, you look a little familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

    King Ning An''s eyes flickered. "We''ve met once."

    "Oh? Can you remind me?"

    King Ning An smiled. "Ten years ago, in the pce of the Great Xia Dynasty, you blocked a hidden arrow for me."

    When King Ning An said this, Jiang Qing immediately remembered.

    Ten years ago, he had followed his father to the pce to congratte the emperor at that time, Xia Wanyuan''s father.

    In the royal court, only by standing with the right team could he ensure that he could rest easy in the future. In order to be foolproof, the previous King of Jiangdong had thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

    On the one hand, the previous King of Jiangdong had brought arge amount of gold, silver, and jewelry to visit the crown prince''s faction led by Xia Wei.

    However, at that time, the Second Prince''s faction led by Consort Wang was also very strong, so the previous King of Jiangdong got someone to cooperate and act.

    He had arranged for an assassin to assassinate the Second Prince. At that time, Jiang Qing, who was still in his teens, did not know his father''s n. Seeing that the sword was approaching, he rushed forward and blocked the sword for the Second Prince, Xia He. Fortunately, he only suffered superficial injuries.

    However, at that time, in order to reward Jiang Qing for protecting his master bravely, the emperor still gave Jiang Qing many things.

    Now, looking at Xia He in front of him, Jiang Qing connected the little prince in his memory to this gentle-looking man.

    "So it''s the Second Prince." Jiang Qing cupped his hands at Xia He. "I wonder how the Second Prince became King Ning An?"

    Xia He held Jiang Qing''s hand and did not let him really bow. "The dynasty has already been destroyed. Why would there be a prince? King Jiangdong, you don''t have to be so polite. Now, I still have to rely on you."<novelnext></novelnext>

    The corners of Jiang Qing''s lips curled up slightly as he straightened his body. "Second Prince, why aren''t you with Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan? Instead, you established your own sect?"

    Xia He sneered. "We''re all members of the royal family, so there''s no need to hide. That Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan wish they could destroy my mother''s entire family. How can they tolerate me?"

    "I see." Jiang Qing''s doubts about Xia He gradually dissipated, and really wanted to make an alliance with him. "Second Prince, pleasee this way. Let''s go back to the tent first."

    "Okay."

    In the Xia family''s tent, Xia Wanyuan stood outside and watched Xia Wei return energetically.

    Xia Wei got off the horse and did not walk towards Xia Wanyuan immediately. "Sister, I''m covered in dirt. I''lle and see you after I deal with it."

    However, Xia Wanyuan did not care about this at all. She walked to Xia Wei''s side in a few steps and sized him up. "Are you injured?"

    "No." Xia Wei shook his head. "Sister, I''ve tried. He''s not Jun Shiling."

    ? Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Mm, I understand."

    Xia Wei carefully observed Xia Wanyuan''s expression. "Sister, you seem a little unhappy."

    Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly. "No, go and count the team members first."

    "Mm."

    However, there was no time for them, because the horn outside sounded.

    Xia Wei became serious. "Sister, there''s an enemy. I''ll go take a look first."

 Chapter 1558 Defeat

    "I''ll go with you." Xia Wanyuan abandoned all her thoughts and rushed out with Xia Wei.

    They had thought that it was an ordinary surprise attack, but no one expected that this time, it was Jiang Qing''s long-nned attack.

    Everyone thought that Jiang Qing was still in contact with King Ning An and did not have the energy to deal with the battle with Xia Wanyuan.

    However, no one expected that Jiang Qing''s goal had never been King Ning An. What he wanted was to severely injure Xia Wanyuan.

    There was already a problem with the provisions, and the morale of the army was unstable. Now that another powerful enemy had attacked, the Xia family''s army retreated step by step.

    Xia Wanyuan brought Xia Wei to kill the enemy in front of the array. In the end, seeing that the enemy was increasing in number and their own people were decreasing, Xia Wanyuan finally gave the order. "Retreat."

    Following Xia Wanyuan''s order, the team quickly retreated. Not long after, they were forced into Taicang Mountain.

    With the natural danger of Taicang Mountain, the team was temporarily out of danger.

    However, Xia Wanyuan and the rest were retreating, and Jiang Qing''s people had been chasing behind. In this battle, Xia Wanyuan had lost at least half of her main force.

    Xia Wanyuan and the rest retreated in front while Xia Wei brought his men to cover the rear.

    It was only when the night approached that Xia Wei returned from the night with his men. The armor on his body was already broken and he had a bloody aura. Mixed with the coldness of the night, it was terrifying.

    "Sister, we were deceived by Jiang Qing and King Ning An." Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei told her everything he had discovered. "So they''ve long formed an alliance."

    Actually, three months ago, Jiang Qing''s letter had been sent to King Ning An''s Estate. However, the news that spread at that time was that King Ning An had rejected the gift from Jiang Qing.

    The scene of the two of them joining forces was too real. Even King Ning An and Jiang Qing pretended to fight. Both sides lost arge number of people and troops. Even Xia Wanyuan was deceived by this illusion.

    ? Actually, today, when she was attacked, Xia Wanyuan had understood.<novelnext></novelnext>

    There was only one way for Jiang Qing''s troops to quietly lurk around Xia Wanyuan, and that was to secretly move from the prefecture under King Ning An''s jurisdiction.

    Xia Wanyuan frowned. "I was careless."

    "Sister, it''s not your fault." Xia Wei''s eyes burned with anger. "They''re too cunning. Who would have thought that Jiang Qing would do this? Sister, what should we do next?"

    Xia Wanyuan looked at the mountain behind her. "Let''s go into the mountain first."

    At this moment, in the Jiang Dong camp, Jiang Qing was drinking with Xia He.

    "Second Prince, let me toast you. It''s all thanks to your n this time. If not for you, Xia Wanyuan would still be going against me."

    Xia He clinked sses with Jiang Qing and took a sip of wine. "You''re too humble. Even without me, you''ve been confronting Xia Wanyuan for so long. That Xia Wanyuan isn''t an easy character to deal with. I''m really surprised that you could force her to this extent."

    Jiang Qing smiled. "Same to you."

    The two of them looked at each other and smiled. With the victory report, they finished the bottle of wine on the table.

    Although Xia Wanyuan had led the team into Taicang Mountain, without food, such arge team woulde out sooner orter.

    The next day, Jiang Qing gave his subordinates a death order.

    As long as they could capture Xia Wanyuan alive, they would be rewarded with a field amounting to a hundred miles and ten thousand taels of gold.

    Instantly, the crowd was excited. The teams heading to Taicang Mountain were like carp crossing the river.

 Chapter 1559 Burning The Bridges

    Taicang Mountain had the river and natural peaks as cover. Although there were many teams attacking Xia Wanyuan, they could not find the location of her army for a while.

    "Sister." Xia Wei rode a horse over from afar. After a few days of running around, Xia Wei''s handsome face was filled with fatigue and frost. "We don''t have enough food."

    There were nts covering Taicang Mountain, but it was alreadyte autumn. In addition, the temperature in the mountain was much lower than outside. The animals were hibernating, and it had already begun to snow in some ces. Under the cover of the vast snow, there was nothing to fill their stomachs. The food brought by the team barelysted for a few days, but they had already seen the bottom.

    Xia Wanyuan also had many worries in her heart, but at this moment, she was the one who could not panic the most in the military. Xia Wanyuan looked calmly at Xia Wei. "I''ll think of a way. Go and train first."

    "Okay." Xia Wei nodded and took out half a white steamed bun. "Sister, this is thest one. Take it."

    Xia Wanyuan''s gaze froze. After a while, she reached out to take it. "I didn''t expect¡­"

    Xia Wanyuan did not say the rest, but Xia Wei understood what she meant.

    They did not expect that they would one day fall to this state and be forced to this state.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s thin but determined body, Xia Wei''s eyes burned.

    Although it was not etiquette, Xia Wei still walked forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

    The young man three years ago had already be a future emperor who could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world through the tempering of the battlefield.

    Xia Wanyuan leaned on Xia Wei''s shoulder and sighed softly. "If I can''t protect you this time¡­"

    "Don''t talk nonsense." Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Xia Wei stopped her. "We''ll sessfully leave this ce. Trust me."

    Xia Wanyuan looked up at Xia Wei''s strong outline and a smile shed across her eyes.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Wei''s shoulder. "Our Xia Wei is already indomitable."

    With that, Xia Wanyuan stood up straight. "I''ll discuss military intelligence with General Shen and the rest."

    "Mm."

    Xia Wei stood rooted to the ground and quietly watched Xia Wanyuan walk towards the central tent, his eyes dark.

    When he could not see Xia Wanyuan at all, Xia Wei turned to leave. However, he did not walk towards the training ground. Instead, he left in the opposite direction.

    In the tent, Xia Wanyuan was discussing something with everyone. Seeing that the sky was starting to darken outside, Xia Wanyuan looked outside in confusion.

    ording to Xia Wei''s training habits, he should have returned to the tent to discuss something with them. It was strange that Xia Wei had not returned today.

    Just as Xia Wanyuan was puzzled, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by a soldier''s voice. "Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince rushed out with his men!!"

    Xia Wanyuan''s heart sank. She strode out. "Tell me clearly. Where did he go??"

    The soldier knelt on the ground. "His Highness the Crown Prince rushed to the exit with his troops. He instructed us to leave with you in four hours from the route he gave us. He said that he would lure the enemy away."

    No matter how calm Xia Wanyuan was, when she heard this news, her ears instantly filled with blood and she could no longer hear anything.

    At least ten teams from different forces were guarding the exit. There was no chance of Xia Wei surviving.

 Chapter 1560 Wiped Out

    Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan''s heart seemed to have been pulled open. The fierce cold wind poured in. For a moment, Xia Wanyuan could not stand still.

    The general beside her immediately supported Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan forced herself to be calm and asked the soldier, her voice trembling. "Where is he now??"

    "Princess, the crown prince brought his troops and arrived at the entrance of the mountain an hour ago."

    Xia Wanyuan''s hand suddenly tightened. Her nails dug into her palm, bringing with them traces of blood.

    The mountain entrance was surrounded by at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If Xia Wei went there...

    Xia Wanyuan''s mind exploded. "Come with me to save him."

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan''s words, everyone looked at each other and knelt in front of her.

    "Princess, it''s not that we''re unwilling to save the crown prince." The person who spoke was the crown prince''s grand tutor before Xia Wei. Xia Wei''s homework was taught by him alone. To be honest, the old tutor had dedicated his life''s work and energy to the Great Xia Dynasty.

    However, at this moment, he knelt on the ground and looked at Xia Wanyuan in pain. "Princess, you should know very well that the Crown Prince is destined to die without returning. We don''t have a crown prince anymore and can''t lose another princess. You''re the hope of the Great Xia Dynasty to recover. Please think twice."

    "Princess, please think twice!" After the Grand Tutor finished speaking, the others knelt down in front of Xia Wanyuan.

    Looking at the people who had followed her through life and death, Xia Wanyuan was silent for a while before finally looking up. "Pass down the order. Leave ording to the map Xia Wei left behind."

    "Yes, Princess!!"

    The team began to gather. Under Xia Wanyuan''s lead, everyone quickly retreated out of the mountain.

    Xia Wei had given her a secret passage. She did not know when he had started digging, but it was very close to the mountain pass. However, because there were hills in the middle, it was very hidden.

    All the horses in the team were abandoned in the mountains. The soldiers walked lightly and tried to lower their voices.<novelnext></novelnext>

    As everyone walked out quietly, they could feel the sound that shook the world from the mountain pass next door. Even the ground under their feet was constantly trembling. Everyone knew very well that it was the sound of artillery falling to the ground.

    Apanied by the tremors of the cannon fire were shrill cries that lingered in the mountains.

    Hearing that familiar ent, everyone gritted their teeth and tears flowed down their faces.

    They knew very well that theirpatriots who had once been in a team were suffering the most terrifying punishment, and their way out had been exchanged by theirrades with their statements and blood.

    The generals were worried about Xia Wanyuan and could not help but look forward.

    To everyone''s surprise, Xia Wanyuan actually walked forward calmly. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, and she only walked forward firmly.

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan, a woman, was so determined, the others felt a sense of pride.

    The seeds of hatred were nted in their hearts. All the blood feuds today would be sacrificed with the enemy''s bones in the future.

    After walking for a long time, the team finally saw the light in front of them on the long mountain path. They walked out.

    At this moment, the sounds of fighting at the mountain pass became softer and softer. In the end, it was silent.

    Before leaving Taicang Mountain, Xia Wanyuan turned around and fainted.

    When Xia Wanyuan woke up after being unconscious for three days, the team had already retreated to a safe ce, and bad news arrived.

    The team led by Xia Wei waspletely wiped out at the entrance of Taicang Mountain.

 Chapter 1561 Trapped

    None of the generals dared to tell Xia Wanyuan this news, but Xia Wanyuan only nced at everyone''s expressions and knew.

    She sighed softly. "He went to look for Father and Mother. They should pick him up."

    With that, Xia Wanyuan spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone hurriedly surrounded her.

    Although the team had already retreated to a safe ce, to the team, who had already suffered a huge blow, Xia Wanyuan''s illness was adding insult to injury.

    Without a leader, the pursuers sent by Jiang Qing chased anxiously. For a moment, the entire team was filled with anxiety.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who had not woken up for a long time, everyone discussed and wanted to make a final decision.

    "The people sent by Jiang Qing will catch up soon. Take the princess and leave. My old bones won''t live long anyway, so I''ll cover your retreat." Thete crown prince''s grand tutor still wanted to protect Xia Wanyuan until now.

    "Grand Tutor, you can''t." The others objected.

    However, at this moment, any more words were useless.

    Furthermore, Jiang Qing''s team was not waiting for anyone. Just as they were discussing, Jiang Qing''s team had already rushed over.

    ording to the information reported by the spy, Jiang Qing''s team had a hundred thousand troops.

    Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of them and then at the unconscious Xia Wanyuan on the bed, everyone sighed. The heavens wanted us dead!!

    On the other hand, in the team sent by Jiang Qing, a carriage was driving steadily in the middle of the team.

    "After winning this battle, the Second Prince can ascend the throne and seize the treasure." Jiang Qing suddenly mentioned this topic as he yed chess with Xia He.

    Xia He did not answer. He only smiled and shook his head.

    "Second Prince, what do you mean??" Jiang Qing looked up at Xia He in confusion.

    "If I said that I never had the intention to seize the throne, would you believe me?" Xia He ced a piece on the chessboard. "What I want is to seek justice for my mother and live the rest of my life leisurely. The royal family and I are just a cage."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Hearing Xia He''s words, Jiang Qing narrowed his eyes.

    The reason why he had kept Xia He until now was because from the traces of Xia He more than twenty years ago, he was indeed a drunkard and had no interest in politics.

    While Jiang Qing was still deep in thought, Xia He suddenly took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve and ced it on the chessboard. "This is the tiger talisman of my Ning An Army. As long as Xia Wanyuan dies, I''m willing to give this tiger talisman to you, King Jiangdong."

    Looking at the tiger talisman in front of him, Jiang Qing''s eyes lit up. "Second Prince, are you serious??"

    "Of course. I swear on my life."

    "Okay!! The second prince is indeed straightforward!!"

    The team advanced very quickly and quickly arrived at the hiding ce of Xia Wanyuan''s team. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was still unconscious. The entire army was in a mess, and no one was in the mood to fight.

    Jiang Qing''s team had just arrived when soldiers ran out to surrender.

    Following the surrendered soldiers, Jiang Qing''s team entered an uninhabited area. Even when they reached the core area, they saw only broken soldiers.

    Jiang Qing could not help butugh out loud. "You, Xia Wanyuan, will have such a day?! Someone, attack inside!! Capture Xia Wanyuan alive and you will be rewarded with a fief amounting to a hundred miles and ten thousand taels of gold!!!"

    Arge number of people swarmed in, but everyone searched the entire vige but could not find a trace of Xia Wanyuan.

    Hearing his subordinate''s report, after the intense joy faded, Jiang Qing finally sensed that something was wrong. He frowned. "Let''s leave first."

    However, it was already toote.

    This was a gourd-shaped valley with only a narrow exit. Now, the sound of elite soldiers and horses came from the exit.

    Jiang Qing looked over and saw the two people riding over from afar.

    That face was the one Jiang Qing was most familiar with.

 Chapter 1562 Decisive Battle

    In an instant, Jiang Qing seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the soldier beside him. "Where''s Xia He??"

    "Ruler, Mr. Xia said that he''s not feeling well and left to treat his illness in town first. Do you need me to bring him back now?"

    Looking at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, who were riding their horses over not far away, coldness appeared in Jiang Qing''s eyes. "You can''t bring him back. Prepare to fight."

    "Yes."

    The two armies faced each other. Looking at the unharmed Xia Wanyuan in front of him, Jiang Qing sneered. "What a good Xia Wanyuan. In the end, I underestimated you."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qing looked at Jun Shiling, who was beside Xia Wanyuan. "I didn''t expect you to be here too. The real King Ning An is probably you, right?"

    It was only when Xia He disappeared that Jiang Qing finally understood that Xia He was not the real King Ning An at all. He was just a pretense to fool him. The real person guarding the back was Jun Shiling.

    No wonder I felt that the name Ning Shijun was too coincidental.

    Jun Shiling nced at Xia Wanyuan before looking at Jiang Qing. "If not, how can you lower your guard?"

    Jiang Qing was too cautious, and he knew the future trend better than everyone in this era.

    If he knew that he was also in this era, it would definitely make him vignt.

    Hence, Jun Shiling found Xia He, who had been left among the people, and made him the outsider who had traded with Jiang Qing.

    "Hahaha." Jiang Qingughed in anger. "I really didn''t expect CEO Jun to do this for a woman. He abandoned the huge assets of modern society and came to this era to n for a woman. CEO Jun, does the woman beside you still remember you??"

    Jun Shiling was not provoked by Jiang Qing''s words. He looked at Xia Wanyuan gently. "So what if she doesn''t remember?"

    Jiang Qing gripped the sword in his hand tightly. "What a devoted child. Today, I''ll let you be a pair of bitter mandarin ducks here."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qing drew his sword and rushed forward with the team behind him.<novelnext></novelnext>

    The two armies finally fought.

    In order to witness the moment of Xia Wanyuan''s death, Jiang Qing had brought all his elite troops this time. Hence, even though Jiang Qing was surrounded in the valley by Jun Shiling''s army, he still had very high morale.

    The sound of weapons colliding echoed in the entire valley. The rain mixed with blood dyed the entire valley bright red.

    After all, Jiang Qing had lived two lives and knew this era the best. The soldiers he led perfectly used the terrain to fight Jun Shiling''s subordinates in a roundabout way.

    When the sun set, the entire battle began to show some signs of victory.

    Jiang Qing was slightly better.

    Jiang Qing held a long sword in his hand and rode straight at Xia Wanyuan. He swung his sword, but Jun Shiling caught it.

    The two of them fought.

    Although Jun Shiling had been practicing martial arts non-stop in the past three years, how could three yearspare to Jiang Qing''s martial arts foundation of nearly a few hundred years?

    Jun Shiling was gradually no match for Jiang Qing. He retreated with a blow. Jiang Qing came with a long sword and shed at Jun Shiling''s head.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan appeared out of nowhere and blocked Jiang Qing''s attack with her spear.

    However, even in the three hundred years of the modern world, Jiang Qing had never given up on martial arts. How could Xia Wanyuan be his match?

    Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had revealed a fatal w, Jiang Qing made a prompt decision and sent his sword in.

    A long sword stabbed straight into Jun Shiling''s heart. Xia Wanyuan jumped and pulled Jiang Qing''s other hand that was not holding the sword.

    At this moment, Xia Wei, who was hiding in the dark, shot a poisoned arrow at Jiang Qing.

 Chapter 1563 Victory

    Jiang Qing was skilled in martial arts. He had noticed the moment the arrow in Xia Wei''s hand shot out.

    Jiang Qing''s ears twitched. He raised his hand and cut the sword in Xia Wanyuan''s hand. Then, he raised his foot to kick Jun Shiling away, but he instantly felt numb.

    Just as he was hesitating, the arrow in Xia Wei''s hand instantly arrived and pierced Jiang Qing''s heart.

    Jiang Qing''s eyes widened. He lowered his head and looked at his heart that had already bloomed with arge amount of blood. He took a step back and reached out to pull out the arrow. Blood spurted out and dyed the ground in front of Jiang Qing red.

    "It''s that chessboard!" Jiang Qing red at Jun Shiling. You got Xia He to tamper with the chessboard!!"

    Jiang Qing had always been very cautious. He never ate outside food or drank water given by others.

    During this period of time, the only thing he hade into contact with the outside world was the chessboard in Xia He''s carriage.

    That day, he had gone to look for Xia He to discuss attacking Xia Wanyuan''s army. Coincidentally, he had seen Xia He ying chess with his left and right hands. At that time, Xia Wei had died, and the news of Xia Wanyuan being seriously injured had just arrived. He had been happy for a moment, so he had wanted to y a round with Xia He.

    It was that round that poisoned him.

    Thinking of this, Jiang Qingughed in anger. "I really didn''t expect that after being cautious for my entire life, I would actually be set up by you in the end."

    Jun Shiling was also seriously injured, but his gaze on Jiang Qing was still firm. "You''re destined not to win."

    Jiang Qing sneered. "Really?? You underestimate me too much. I..."

    "Do you want to say your secret technique?" Jun Shiling''s expression was calm. "While you were talking just now, the array you set up should have been broken."

    Hearing Jun Shiling''s words, Jiang Qing, who had been very calm just now, was visibly flustered and angry. He took out a blood jade from his pocket and dripped his blood on it.

    After waiting for a long time, the jade pendant that should have lit up did not move at all.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Damn Jun Shiling, I''ll kill you!!!" At this moment, Jiang Qing was really breaking down. He stepped forward with his sword.

    However, the poison in his body quickly spread. Jiang Qing had only taken a step when he felt that his limbs had lost consciousness.

    Before that numbness finally spread to his head, Jiang Qing nced at the rivers and mountains in the distance, his heart filled with sorrow.

    He had nned for two lifetimes, but in the end, he still lost to Xia Wanyuan. He hated it!! He was unwilling!!!

    The moment Jiang Qing fellpletely, Jun Shiling finally could not hold on anymore and fell.

    In the distance, after a night of fierce battle, the morning sun rose on the mountaintop. A dazzling light filled the entire valley with the morning breeze.

    "We won!!!" "We won!"

    The entire valley was filled with the cheers of the soldiers.

    A monthter.

    In the Taihua Hall, sandalwood slowly rose. A figure shed behind the screen. Xia Wanyuan, who had changed out of her military uniform and put on a woman''s outfit, walked out.

    "Imperial physician, why isn''t he awake yet??" Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly at the imperial physician. "Could it be that he won''t wake up for the rest of his life??"

    "Eldest Princess, King Ning An''s injuries are too serious. He''s actually already in the state of death. However, for some reason, a small will to survive has been supporting him. To be honest, I''m really not confident when he will wake up."

    "Got it." Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. "Go down first."

    "Yes."

 Chapter 1564 From The Heart

    After everyone retreated, Xia Wanyuan sat back at Jun Shiling''s bed with the medicine.

    Jun Shiling had been unconscious for a long time. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had personally fed him the medicine. In his unconscious state, he could not swallow it on his own.

    Every time this happened, Xia Wanyuan would dismiss everyone. An hourter, Xia Wanyuan came out with an empty bowl.

    No one knew how she had fed Jun Shiling the medicine. However, in the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had be more and more fond of sweet food. The number of preserved fruits that they had given Xia Wanyuan had clearly increased.

    Now, looking at Jun Shiling lying peacefully on the bed, Xia Wanyuan nced at the medicine bowl in her hand and endured the bitterness to send a spoonful of medicine into her mouth. Then, she bent down and sent the medicine into Jun Shiling''s mouth bit by bit.

    After a mouthful of medicine, Xia Wanyuan straightened her body and hurriedly fed herself a mouthful of honey.

    Just like that, the cycle repeated. The bowl of medicine was finally sent into Jun Shiling''s mouth by Xia Wanyuan, but Jun Shiling showed no signs of waking up.

    Xia Wanyuan put the medicine bowl aside and pulled the nket over Jun Shiling to cover him. She sat quietly at the side and watched Jun Shiling sleep.

    After not seeing him for three years, Jun Shiling seemed to have be more haggard, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all.

    When they first met three years ago, Xia Wanyuan had once sighed that Jun Shiling''s facial features were good. Now that three years had passed, she was still stunned when she caught a glimpse of him.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but reach out to touch Jun Shiling''s long eyshes.

    She had heard from the imperial physician that she had to talk to the patient more. This could awaken the patient''s survival ability.

    For so many days, as long as Xia Wanyuan had time, she woulde and chat with Jun Shiling. She mostly talked about her matters in the court.<novelnext></novelnext>

    After they eliminated the remaining forces of Jiang Qing and the huge obstacle of Jiang Qing, the rest went with the flow. The other forces surrendered and the entire world was in the hands of the Xia family again.

    Xia Wei was the legitimate crown prince. Now that the world had been decided, he naturally ascended the throne smoothly. Just like in his previous life, he was called Emperor Xia Yuan.

    On the day of the coronation ceremony, Xia He had also attended. However, he only appeared for a while and left without even attending the banquet. He did not even ask for the fiefdom Xia Wei had given him and went to live his own carefree life.

    They talked about Xia Wanyuan''s life every day. For some reason, Xia Wanyuan suddenly wanted to tell Jun Shiling what was on her mind today.

    She supported her chin and looked at Jun Shiling.

    "Although what you told me three years ago was like a fantasy, to be honest, I believe you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your secret support in the past few years, just as I will like you in the future. Actually, no matter what era it is, I will always be happy with you."

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her face flushed red. Looking at Jun Shiling''s handsome side profile, the corners of Xia Wanyuan''s lips curled up slightly. "I wonder when you''ll wake up. I want to bring you to the pce where I used to live."

    Xia Wanyuan had been talking to Jun Shiling, but Jun Shiling did not react. Xia Wanyuan sighed softly and walked to the side to y the zither for Jun Shiling.

    However, the moment she turned around, Jun Shiling''s hand under the nket moved slightly.

    Yet, thismotion was too small and could not be sensed by Xia Wanyuan at all.

    Time passed faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, winter arrived and it was snowing.

    In order to make Xia Wanyuan happier, Xia Wei ordered someone to nt many white plums in the imperial garden. It was snowing lightly that day, so Xia Wei specially postponed the governmental meeting and pulled Xia Wanyuan to admire the plums.

 Chapter 1565 Selecting The Prince Consort

    "Sister." Ever since they won the battle, Xia Wei had returned to his original royal address for Xia Wanyuan.

    In the three years of war tempering, Xia Wei had the strong might of an emperor and the heavy aura condensed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

    However, in front of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei''s eyes were soft. He looked at her worriedly. "You''ve lost a lot of weight recently."

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and reached out to brush the snow off Xia Wei''s head. "You''ve lost more weight than me recently."

    When the world was first settled, as the emperor, Xia Wei carried the heavy burden of the world. He slept less than six hours a day.

    The eldest sister was like a mother. While Xia Wanyuan was worried about Jun Shiling, she was naturally worried about Xia Wei.

    "Royal Sister, I''ve asked the imperial physician. Jun Shiling won''t wake up. There are so many men in the world. I''ll choose a few more prince consorts for you. Don''t worry about Jun Shiling anymore."

    Although Xia Wei admitted from the bottom of his heart that Jun Shiling treated Xia Wanyuan very well,

    However, he still favored Xia Wanyuan the most. He did not want to see her unhappy. He did not want to see Xia Wanyuan dy her life for someone who might never wake up.

    ? Xia Wanyuan knew what Xia Wei was thinking. She turned around and looked at the proud plum blossom on the branch. "You don''t have to care about this."

    Xia Wei knew that once Xia Wanyuan decided on something, no one could change it. He did not say anything else and apanied Xia Wanyuan to quietly look at the snow in front of him.

    After returning to the imperial study, Xia Wei summoned the prime minister. "Gather all the talents in the world and choose a prince consort for my royal sister."

    During this period of time, other thanforting the old minister, Xia Wei had also promoted a batch of new blood. The prime minister in front of him, Xie Yun, was Xia Wei''s new young minister.

    He was only 23 years old. His eyes were clear and his figure was tall. He stood there like an ink painting that was pleasing to the eye.

    Xie Yun bowed respectfully. "Yes, I''ll do it immediately."

    As soon as Xie Yun finished speaking, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there straight, as if he had something to say.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wei sensed his hesitation. "Beloved minister, do you have anything else to say?"

    Xie Yun bowed. "May I ask if I can participate in the selection?"

    Xia Wei raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise. "I didn''t expect my beloved minister to have feelings for my royal sister?"

    A rare blush appeared on the usually calm Prime Minister''s face, but it was more of yearning. "The Eldest Princess is peerless. Which man in the world doesn''t yearn for such a woman?"

    When Xia Wanyuan was a princess, the name of a peerless beauty had already resounded throughout the world. At that time, everyone knew that there was a noble and beautiful princess in the Great Xia Dynasty.

    Later on, when the Xia Dynasty fell, Xia Wanyuan became the brightest color in the chaotic world.

    She discussed the arrangement of troops with the generals and brought the soldiers to take back thend that the Xia Dynasty had dyed inch by inch. After settling the country, she assisted Xia Wei to calm the restless world.

    Xia Wanyuan''s name finally resounded throughout the world.

    Working with such a legendary woman and watching her float and sink in the turbulence, no one could resist such attraction.

    Xie Yun was naturally no exception.

    Xia Wei waved his hand. "Sure, go ahead. My beloved minister is my right-hand man. If you can be my royal sister''s husband, there''s nothing I''m reluctant about."

    "Yes."

    Soon, the news of Xia Wanyuan recruiting a prince consort spread throughout the world.

    Instantly, the entire capital was filled with people signing up.

 Chapter 1566 Peach Blossom Pastry

    ? The world had decided that it needed some happy events to whitewash it. Hence, the ceremony to choose a prince consort was especially grand.

    Because there were too many people who signed up, the final selection method was like a level test.

    The most preliminary screening was filtered through age, height, and appearance.

    Excluding those below eight feet tall and those above thirty years old, what was left were slender young talents with outstanding appearances.

    The second screening was a literary test. The men who participated in the selection of the Prince Consort passed three tests as if they were taking the imperial examination and finally five hundred of them were left.

    The third round was the martial test. Among the five hundred men, the most outstanding hundred men were chosen through a real battle.

    At this point, the hundred most outstanding men in the world were selected. Only then did these hundred men have the right to enter the pce and see Xia Wanyuan.

    This emperor''s son-inw selection ceremony was grand and unheard of in the world, so much so that this huge matter was spreading everywhere on the streets.

    "Eldest Princess, themoners love you very much." Hearing themoners'' discussion, Xie Yun turned to look at Xia Wanyuan.

    Such a huge ceremony actually cost a lot of money. If it were anyone else holding such a huge ceremony just to choose a prince consort, they would probably have drowned in the saliva of themoners.

    However, they had been sitting here for two hours. Themoners who came and went praised Xia Wanyuan. Towards this grand ceremony, everyone seemed to be Xia Wanyuan''s family and helped her choose the most suitable prince consort.

    "In my opinion, our Prime Minister is still the most suitable to be the Prince Consort. I heard that the Prime Minister is young and handsome and capable. He''s simply a perfect match for our Eldest Princess."

    "Isn''t King Ning An not bad too?? Didn''t you hear? King Ning An is only pretending to form an alliance with King Jiangdong. In fact, he helped our Eldest Princess win the final battle. Furthermore, in order to save our Eldest Princess, King Ning An is still unconscious."

    "Aiyaya, you''re making me really curious. What does this Eldest Princess look like to be able to make so many geniuses in the world fall in love with her?"

    Everyone''s words drilled into Xia Wanyuan''s ears word by word. She turned around and was about to say something when she met Xie Yun''s meaningful gaze.

    Xia Wanyuan''s hand that was holding the cup paused.<novelnext></novelnext>

    In all fairness, Xie Yun was a good minister and a rare talent as a prime minister. Such a person should not drown in her.

    "Thank you, Prime Minister." Xia Wanyuan decided to exin to Xie Yun.

    Xie Yun was a smart person and naturally knew what Xia Wanyuan wanted to say to him.

    "Eldest Princess." Xie Yun poured a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan. "People who like the moon don''t insist on having it, but they have to chase it at least once. Don''t you think so?"

    Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea. "Mm."

    The two of them did not say anything else.

    After a few days of rest, thest hundred men would go to the pce today to ept Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei''s assessment.

    Not far away, the voices of the honor guard could already be vaguely heard. A hundred handsome men rode past the street on tall horses.

    "Eldest Princess, the pre-selected Prince Consort is about to enter the pce. We should go back."

    Xia Wanyuan stood up, but she stopped the moment she left. She turned around and nced at the peach blossom pastry on the table. "Take a portion of this and send it to Tai Hua Hall."

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan''s words, Xie Yun''s eyes flickered.

    Tai Hua Hall was Jun Shiling''s hall.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Xie Yun shook his head gently.

    There would probably not be a winner in this selection ceremony, because there was someone who had already won Xia Wanyuan''s heart even if hey there and did nothing.

 Chapter 1567 The Princess Is Breathtaking

    Xia Wanyuan had no intention of attending this selection ceremony, but Xia Wei went to persuade her.

    The siblings spoke in the imperial study for nearly an hour. When they came out again, Xia Wanyuan had already agreed.

    The men who came to participate in the selection stepped into the pce gate and sighed in their hearts as they looked at the magnificent halls around them.

    "The Great Xia Dynasty in the past was already prosperous. I didn''t expect that in such a short period of time, a new prosperous dynasty had already begun to rise."

    "Indeed, I heard that the new emperor and the Eldest Princess are people who love talent. A few days ago, the new emperor even issued a letter of recruitment. I wonder if it''s really as the edict said and will give outstanding talents a generous reward."

    "You''re thinking too much. I only have one thought today. Even if I can''t be chosen, I want to see what the number one beauty in the world looks like."

    Everyone''s topic gradually returned to Xia Wanyuan.

    Although Xia Wanyuan was famous, there were not many men who had really interacted with her. Everyone was very curious about the brilliance of this pearl in this chaotic world.

    Groups of people walked towards the tallest pce. The eunuchs and pce maids in the pce secretly watched themotion.

    "His Majesty treats the Eldest Princess extremely well. There are so many young talents. Any one of them is a talent."

    "Of course. His Majesty and the Eldest Princess have a deep rtionship. I wonder which one the Eldest Princess will choose. Have you seen King Ning An lying in Tai Hua Hall? Thest time I went to clean, I caught a glimpse of him. That''s the real dragon and phoenix appearance. It''s a pity that such a good person can''t wake up for a long time. I heard that he''s the person the Eldest Princess likes."

    "..."

    The discussions of the pce servants crossed the pce wall, passed through the bamboo windows, and seeped into the Tai Hua Hall bit by bit.

    At this moment, in the Tai He Hall, all the people who hade for the selection had arrived. Everyone stood quietly on the spot and waited for Xia Wei to arrive.

    Unlike them, Xia Wei did not show off. Instead, he walked over from outside the hall with a moderate dignity on his face, but more than that, he was kind.

    It made one feel that this emperor was a good emperor who cared about his subordinates.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Greetings, Your Majesty." Everyone hurriedly bowed.

    "Everyone, rise." Xia Wei sat on the dragon chair and waved his sleeve slightly. "Li De, go and invite my sister over."

    "Yes."

    After receiving Xia Wei''s order, the chief eunuch immediately left with the pce maids.

    Not long after, Reed returned. "Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is here."

    At this moment, a bright yellow dress vaguely seeped out of the back door of the hall, attracting everyone''s attention.

    Everyone stared at the dress and waited for the owner of the pce dress to walk over.

    The hem of her dress erged bit by bit in their visions, and Xia Wanyuan slowly walked out.

    However, along the way, even though everyone knew a hundred etiquettes, they were all rude. No one greeted her.

    Because everyone present was stunned.

    She was wearing a bright yellow pce dress that was the same color as the dragon robe with golden phoenixes pleated. She only drew her moth eyebrows lightly and had a shallowyer of rouge on her face. She was already shockingly beautiful.

    With the flowers as the appearance, the birds as the voices, the moon as the god, the willows as the form, the jade as the bones, the ice and snow as the skin, the autumn water as the posture, and the poem as the heart, one was content.

    Xia Wei stood up and brought Xia Wanyuan to sit beside him. Only then did he look at the people in the hall. "Aren''t you going to greet her?"

    Only then did everyone wake up and say in unison, "Greetings, Eldest Princess."

 Chapter 1568 CEO Jun Is Here

    "At ease." Xia Wanyuan did not put on any airs.

    Xia Wei wanted to help her sit beside the dragon chair, but Xia Wanyuan gently pushed him away.

    She knew that Xia Wei was really helping her sit over, but she could not go over.

    When the world was in chaos, no one would pay attention to these etiquettes. At that time, the generals and emperors could also get along.

    However, now that the world had been decided, without rules, nothing could be done.

    Sensing Xia Wanyuan''s resistance, Xia Wei was stunned when he saw her sit on the lower step. Then, he turned around and returned to the dragon chair to sit.

    At this moment, Xia Wei suddenly felt a sense of destion.

    He knew that Xia Wanyuan would always support him, but he also knew that something was different.

    On the peak of the imperial power, there were some paths that could only be walked by him alone.

    Xia Wei was also a person who could remain calm in everything. Hence, no one noticed the change in the emperor''s expression.

    "You''re already great talents to be able to break through all the tests ande here. Someone, reward them."

    As soon as Xia Wei finished speaking, the eunuchs sent the greetings they had prepared to everyone.

    "Today is thest test. The final test is in Sister''s hands. As long as you can win her favor, the position of the emperor''s son-inw will belong to you."

    Before everyone entered the pce, Xia Wei had gotten someone to send a message to everyone and asked them to prepare a gift for Xia Wanyuan. If this gift could make Xia Wanyuan smile, he would be able to obtain the position of Prince Consort.

    Now that Xia Wei had finished speaking, everyone began to take out the things they had prepared.

    "Eldest Princess, please take a look. I specially dived into the sea and only obtained one after ten years. Only such a peerless treasure is worthy of your peerless charm, Eldest Princess."<novelnext></novelnext>

    With that, the person who presented the treasure opened the box. A pink night pearl with a lustrous luster appeared in front of everyone. Even Xia Wanyuan, who was used to seeing rare treasures, was a little surprised by the quality of this pearl.

    Everyone thought that this pearl was already extremely rare. Who would have thought that what they saw next was basically the only one in the world?

    From jewelry to paintings and calligraphy, from flying spirit items to peerless weapons, all the top treasures in the world seemed to havee here.

    The entire pce seemed to be shining because of these treasures with a faint luster.

    Xie Yun was thest to stand up. Compared to the treasures of the others, the thing Xie Yun gave was a little strange. It was actually his official seal.

    Xia Wei was a little puzzled. "Minister, what do you mean??"

    Xie Yun bowed to Xia Wei before looking at Xia Wanyuan. "I don''t have anything on me. I only have some grace bestowed by His Majesty. If I can obtain the Eldest Princess''s love, my family is willing to be vassals to the Great Xia Dynasty for three generations."

    There was still a huge difference between a vassal and an ordinary minister. If they were vassals, they would never betray and would be united.

    Even Xia Wei was a little moved by his words.

    Xia Wanyuan''s expression fluctuated. She nced at Xie Yun. "Prime Minister Xie, why are you doing this?"

    "Eldest Princess, you''re worth it."

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak again and only shook her head slightly.

    Because of Xie Yun''s actions, the atmosphere in the hall became very awkward. Just as everyone was in a deadlock, Xia Wei suddenly spoke.

    "Sister, there are so many talents today. Which one do you like more?? As long as you choose, I''ll immediately bestow him to you."

    "I want to try too. I wonder if I''m qualified?" Before Xia Wei could finish speaking, someone walked in.

 Chapter 1569 Choosing CEO Jun As The Prince Consort

    Hearing this voice, Xia Wanyuan suddenly looked up at the door and stood up.

    The others felt that Xia Wanyuan''s actions were strange and followed her gaze to the door. Everyone was a little dazed.

    A man entered.

    In all fairness, this person was extremely handsome. His crown was tied up high, and he was dressed in a ck robe that entuated his tall figure. What was most amazing was the aura he emitted from time to time.

    Even though no one present knew who he was, they could sense from his kingly demeanor that he must be a big shot.

    Just as everyone was in a daze, Xia Wei suddenly said, "King Ning An is also interested in participating in Sister''s Prince Consort selection?"

    Hearing Xia Wei''s words, everyone understood.

    So this was the famous King Ning An. No wonder he had such an arrogant aura.

    No matter how many people looked at him, Jun Shiling did not care at all.

    From the moment he stepped into the pce, his gaze had been on Xia Wanyuan.

    The two of them looked at each other from afar through the tall steps. In the end, Xia Wanyuan chuckled.

    A beauty''s smile could topple cities.

    "I wonder what gift King Ning An prepared for me??"

    The others'' attention was on Xia Wanyuan''s smile just now. Only Xie Yun noticed Xia Wanyuan''s address.

    When she faced Jun Shiling, she used "me".

    A hint of sadness shed across Xie Yun''s eyes, then he smiled helplessly. In fact, the oue was already very obvious.

    Xie Yun took a step back calmly, then retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan.

    It was not that he did not like Xia Wanyuan, but he was polite and was willing to guard this manner for her.

    He believed that a man who could be liked by Xia Wanyuan would definitely bring her happiness. In that case, there was no need for him to be that troublesome person.<novelnext></novelnext>

    From then on, he was the Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, protecting the people and her. Other than that, there was nothing else.

    Not far away, Jun Shiling had already gradually walked up the steps.

    Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan did not stop him from being rude.

    Jun Shiling slowly walked a step lower than Xia Wanyuan and extended a hand to her.

    "Eldest Princess, this is my gift."

    While the others were still puzzled, a smile had already appeared in Xia Wanyuan''s eyes.

    They would hold hands and grow old together.

    From then on, I''ll be willing to apany you in the court, over the far mountains and seas.

    Under everyone''s surprised gazes, Xia Wanyuan reached out and ced a hand in Jun Shiling''s. "I like King Ning An''s gift very much, so I chose you as my husband."

    "Thank you, Eldest Princess." Jun Shiling thanked her, but he did not show any gratitude. He only looked at Xia Wanyuan and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Spring is just right. Eldest Princess, are you willing to follow me to admire the flowers?"

    "Okay." Xia Wanyuan nodded.

    The next second, Jun Shiling pulled her wrist and held her entire hand. Then, he pulled her and strode out of the hall.

    Ever since Jun Shiling appeared, everything about him had been inappropriate. Even Xia Wanyuan''s actions had no etiquette to speak of.

    However, at this moment, as they watched the two of them leave, everyone felt that etiquette and dogma were meaningless.

    The moment the two of them looked at each other and smiled, it was as if they could break through all the obstacles.

    Everyone present was not stupid. They knew that there was no chance of being chosen as the prince consort. They packed up and prepared to leave.

    However, Xia Wei''s words made everyone stop in their tracks.

 Chapter 1570 Red Clothes Like Fire

    "Ministers, wait. I still have something to give you."

    Hearing Xia Wei''s words, everyone turned around and bowed. Then, they waited to see what Xia Wei was going to give everyone.

    However, the eunuchs and pce maids in the hall did not move at all. Only Xia Wei sat up high. He nced at the people in the hall. "I want to announce something. Those whoe today are all geniuses of the world. As long as they''re willing to stay in my royal court, they can be exempted from the test and enter the Hanlin Academy. They''ll be released as officials a yearter."

    Everyone was shocked by this.

    In this era of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was still hereditary. The positions of officials and nobles were hereditary. Ordinary people had no chance of entering the royal court.

    The prince consort selection this time was an exception. It faced the entire country. Whether rich or poor, as long as one had talent, they could be nominated. There was nock of men with low backgrounds.

    Hearing Xia Wei''s words now was undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone''s worldview.

    However, Xia Wei still felt that it was not enough and added, "After the new dynasty is established, an official assessment system will be implemented. You will be promoted based on your political achievements. As long as you have the ability, even a young man with a weak crown can sit in my dynasty''s prime minister position."

    Xie Yun stood up at the right time. "Those who are willing to stay and serve the imperial court can register with me today. Those who are not willing to stay, His Majesty has given you a generous reward. You can leave on your own."

    There were more than a hundred people present. Everyone hesitated for a moment before someone finally led the way to Xie Yun. "I''m willing to stay." "I''m willing too!"

    In the end, there were about eighty people who were willing to stay. Only a few chose to leave with the reward.

    However, to Xia Wei, more than eighty was enough.

    These people could pass throughyers of selection and were already one in a million young talents. As long as they were nurtured slightly, they would definitely be pirs in the future.

    After everyone dispersed, Xie Yun walked forward. "Congrattions, Your Majesty. You got what you wanted."<novelnext></novelnext>

    From the beginning, Xie Yun could tell what Xia Wei meant. He just had ulterior motives. What he really wanted was fresh blood and disciples that could bepletely used by him.

    Thinking that he had obtained so many talents in a day, Xia Wei was in a good mood. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Prime Minister, you win my heart the most."

    "Your Majesty, you''re so kind."

    "However." Xia Wei nced at Xie Yun. "I''ve always respected my sister''s intentions. I''m also very regretful that my beloved minister couldn''t be the emperor''s son-inw. I can agree to one request of yours aspensation."

    Xie Yun smiled and shook her head. "Your Majesty, I knew from the beginning that that person could not be mine."

    Looking at Xie Yun''s disappointed expression, for some reason, Xia Wei felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. It was as if he could also feel Xie Yun''s current emotions.

    That helplessness of being unable to love was like a knife cutting through one''s heart bit by bit. Why did I feel this way??

    However, he quickly stopped dwelling on this question and treated it as him feeling regretful for Xie Yun.

    There were so many things that Dynasty needed him to do every day. This small ripple could not arouse his attention at all.

    In front of him was another memorial that the ministers had advised him to set up as soon as possible. Xia Wei frowned and flipped open the memorial. Inside were beauties sent from all directions, all of them for Xia Wei.

    Xia Wei casually nced at it and his gaze paused on a woman with bright facial features in red.

    However, it was only for a moment. Xia Wei only felt that the woman''s passionate appearance in red had a different feeling.

 Chapter 1571 General Chus Daughter

    The eunuch in charge beside Xia Wei noticed his gaze.

    He was surprised. Didn''t His Majesty like gentle women the most, like the Eldest Princess? Why did his taste suddenly change?

    "Your Majesty, this is General Chu''s youngest daughter. Her name is Chu Man." Although the eunuch in charge was surprised, he still introduced her to Xia Wei. "General Chu''s family is open, and the daughter can also go into battle to lead the army. The Chu family''s youngest daughter has a valiant charm. If Your Majesty likes her..."

    "No need." Xia Wei frowned.

    For a moment just now, he only felt that the red dress looked good and had no intention of recruiting this person into the pce.

    "Since you said that the younger daughter of the Chu family can go into battle and lead the army, she naturally prefers a free world. This cage is only suitable for the sparrows."

    To Xia Wei, who had been deeply influenced by Confucianism and had received feudal etiquette for a long time, these words were undoubtedly unorthodox from him, so much so that everyone was shocked for a moment.

    However, Xia Wei was very calm.

    Only those who stood at the peak of power would know the loneliness of being at the top. He was not a person who valued women. To him, marrying a concubine was just a tool.

    As long as they could help him stabilize the harem, connect with the previous dynasty, and continue to have children, it was fine.

    Such a position was not suitable to lock a free soul in.

    Xia Wei nced at the woman in red in front of him again, then took the pen and made a huge cross on the painting. "Pass."

    "Yes."<novelnext></novelnext>

    The name list of the concubines quickly spread to the various prefectures.

    In the general''s residence, when she heard that she had failed and the person he liked happened to be the daughter of the virtuous and beautiful Grand Tutor, Shu Rou. The youngdy of the Chu family sitting behind the screen was so angry that she broke the eyebrow pencil in her hand.

    "Daughter, it''s good that you weren''t chosen. I don''t want you to marry into that ruthless ce. Don''t worry, I''ll find you a handsome young man who knows both martial arts and literature. Isn''t it better for the two of you to guard each other and not fight for favor in the pce??"

    "Father, you don''t understand," the youngdy of the Chu family said. She was clearly the daughter of a general, but her tone was a littlezy and inexplicably roundabout.

    "Why don''t I understand?" General Chu red at her angrily. "There''s nothing good in the pce. Since you didn''t get chosen, forget it."

    "Father, can you bring me into the pce?"

    "No! Don''t even think about it! Entering the pce privately is a capital crime. I don''t know what you''re thinking about every day. From today onwards, stay in the residence properly and don''t go out and fool around anymore. Don''t go out until the end of the talent show."

    With that, General Chu flicked his sleeves and left. As he walked, he shook his head. He clearly could not understand why his youngest daughter, who hated pce life the most in the past, was so enthusiastic about marrying into the pce after falling off a cliff and being found.

    He could not let his daughter go to that kind of ce, where they ate people alive.

    Watching General Chu leave angrily, Chu Man sighed. She looked at the elite soldiers guarding around her and then at her soft and weak hand.

    "Although I don''t know if that dog emperor is Xia Wei, he has to let me confirm it so that I can give up. Otherwise, wouldn''t I have spent so much money and died for nothing toe here?"

    Thinking of King Ning An whom the maidservants had mentioned previously, Chu Man supported her chin and her eyes flickered. "If only I could contact Jun Shiling. I might even be able to follow him into the pce."

 Chapter 1572 Princess And CEO Jun Gets Married

    At this moment, in the imperial garden, the eunuchs and pce maids had already left. Only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were left in the huge garden.

    When she first saw Jun Shiling wake up, Xia Wanyuan was excited and let him lead her over.

    Now that she had calmed down, Xia Wanyuan''s ears turned red when she sensed the hot palm wrapped around her. She moved ufortably.

    Jun Shiling immediately sensed it, but he did not let go of Xia Wanyuan''s hand. Instead, he turned to look at her. "Let me ask you a question."

    "Tell me." Today, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in pce clothes and was soul-stirringly beautiful. The warm sun passed through the jade ears and decorated Xia Wanyuan''s eyes with light.

    "Let''s get married in the next two days, okay?"

    Xia Wanyuan''s eyes widened slightly. "In the next two days? Would it be¡­ too fast."

    When Jun Shiling was unconscious, Xia Wanyuan had thought about her rtionship with Jun Shiling in the future, but Xia Wanyuan did not expect it to be so fast.

    "Just the two of us." Jun Shiling''s expression froze as he looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly. "Are you willing? With the world as evidence, we''ll hold a bigger wedding in the future. I want a wedding that only belongs to the two of us."

    Xia Wanyuan''s eyes flickered. She looked at Jun Shiling quietly for a while, then nodded. "Okay."

    Only then did Jun Shiling smile. He held Xia Wanyuan''s hand. "I''ve never seen you in a wedding dress. You must be very beautiful."

    No matter how tenacious Xia Wanyuan''s personality was, in front of Jun Shiling, she was still a young girl who had just bloomed. Facing her sweetheart''s praise, Xia Wanyuan''s eyshes flickered gently, feeling a little embarrassed.

    Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. "I''m very happy to see you again."

    The current Xia Wanyuan was still not used to Jun Shiling''s approach. Sensing the aura that enveloped her, Xia Wanyuan''s thoughts stopped. She stood stiffly in Jun Shiling''s arms, at a loss.

    Jun Shiling had always been a very polite person, but on this day, Jun Shiling seemed very domineering, as if he could not wait.

    This impatience was not the kind of eagerness that was hidden by lust, but more with uneasiness and panic.

    The feeling he gave Xia Wanyuan was that because he was about to lose it, they had to be together very anxiously.

    After admiring the flowers, Jun Shiling was worried that Xia Wanyuan would be cold as it was cold outside, so he brought her back to the pce.<novelnext></novelnext>

    ording to the current rules, no man could approach the princess''s inner hall, except for the emperor.

    However, at this moment, seeing Jun Shiling hold Xia Wanyuan''s hand and walk in, no one dared to stop him.

    After entering the hall, Jun Shiling found a heater and ced it in Xia Wanyuan''s hand, then went to the table to pour tea for her. The entire set of actions was smooth, as if he had done it thousands of times.

    Xia Wanyuan watched Jun Shiling busy himself in the room and suddenly said, "Are you going to disappear?"

    With a bang, the cup in Jun Shiling''s hand tilted. Hot water dripped onto his hand, but Jun Shiling was not distracted to check.

    He knew that he could not hide it from Xia Wanyuan. Even though the current Xia Wanyuan had not interacted with him for long, with Xia Wanyuan''s exquisite heart, how could she not notice his abnormality?

    Jun Shiling turned around. "Mm, I feel that it''ll be in the next two days."

    He was not from this era to begin with. He had onlye here because he had been identally brought into the spatial tunnel. Although he had woken up, he could clearly feel that the essence energy in his body was rapidly being consumed.

    Although his appearance still looked the same, Jun Shiling knew very well that he was already an empty shell.

    Xia Wanyuan''s expression looked very calm. She replied and lowered her head. "Then you still want to marry me."

    "No." Jun Shiling''s voice seemed to have been squeezed out of the depths of his throat. "I just want to see you in a wedding dress. We won''t announce it to the public. In the future, if there''s a suitable¡­ That Xie Yun seems to be quite good¡­"

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan threw the heater in her hand at Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling did not dodge. The heater happened to hit his chin and it immediately turned red.

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to not avoid her. She hurriedly stood up and reached out to touch the ce where Jun Shiling had been injured. "What are you doing?!"

    Jun Shiling did not pay attention to his injuries. He reached out and held Xia Wanyuan''s wrist tightly, as if he had used all his strength. "I''m sorry."

    Xia Wanyuan looked up and met a pair of almost red eyes. In an instant, the anger in her heart was extinguished. "You know how to apologize? You provoked me and want to leave again. How can such a thing happen in the world?"

 Chapter 1573 Marriage

    Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan''s wrist, but a momentter, Jun Shiling let go of her again, his eyes clearly careful. "Then are you still willing to wear a wedding dress for me to see?"

    Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to ask her this question. She pulled her hand out of Jun Shiling''s and left without looking back.

    Jun Shiling did not react for a moment. When he wanted to stop Xia Wanyuan again, she was already far away.

    "Baby." In a moment of desperation, Jun Shiling used the name he had called Xia Wanyuan in the modern world.

    However, at this moment, even though Xia Wanyuan''s heart was with Jun Shiling, even if she was not so adhered to feudal etiquette, she was stillpletely an ancient person. Hence, when Jun Shiling called her that, Xia Wanyuan walked even faster.

    Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Jun Shiling took a step forward, but in the end, he stopped.

    Actually, this was good too. Since I was leaving, there was no need to leave traces for no reason.

    To be honest, Xia Wanyuan had only interacted with him for less than three days in this era.

    Even though they were so in love in the modern world, in this era, he was the only one who had that memory. Xia Wanyuan''s feelings for him might not have begun.

    Jun Shiling turned around. In that case, perhaps it was fate. At least before I leave, I have to make all the ns for Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling strode out of the pce. The Ning An Army still needed to be settled down. The businesses he had managed in the past few years needed to be sorted out for Xia Wanyuan.

    After leaving the pce, Jun Shiling got on his horse and went straight to the suburbs.

    At this moment, the pce was already bustling.

    When Xia Wei returned from the imperial study, he saw the pce servants hurriedly hanging rednterns. He frowned and walked towards the pce where Xia Wanyuan lived.

    At that moment, Xia Wanyuan wasbing her hair in front of the dressing table. Beside her was a huge box with expensive gems.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wei recognized this box. In this era, marriage etiquette was extremely important. Xia Wanyuan was deeply favored by the emperor. When she was very young, her mother had gathered the best tailors in the world. At the third year, she had made Xia Wanyuan''s future wedding dress.

    "Royal Sister? Why did you take this dress out today?"

    "You came over at the right time. I have something to tell you." Xia Wanyuan waved at Xia Wei, who hurriedly leaned over. He was no different from before.

    After everyone, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei still maintained the warmth of blood ties.

    "Royal Sister, what''s wrong?"

    Xia Wanyuan whispered something into Xia Wei''s ear. Xia Wei''s expression immediately became veryplicated. He was shocked and a little embarrassed. "Royal Sister, how can this do? How can he wrong you like this!"

    "He doesn''t know. This was my idea." Xia Wanyuan sat back in front of the dressing table. "I''ve made up my mind. You don''t have to say anything else."

    Xia Wei wanted to object, but looking at Xia Wanyuan''s firm side profile, he swallowed his words. In the end, he only said, "I''ll arrange it."

    "Mm."

    It was winter, and the snow in the afternoon gradually became heavier. When it was almost evening, the heavy snow had already covered the entire pce.

    However, the pce was not as white and dustless as usual. In the snow that filled the sky, the entire pce was like a me that bloomed from the snow. There were rednterns, red calligraphy, and red satin everywhere.

    Jun Shiling had received Xia Wanyuan''s letter in the military. There was only one sentence.

    "Return quickly."

    Jun Shiling thought that something had happened in the pce and immediately rode his horse into the pce. Because he was too worried, he did not even notice the changes in the scene along the way.

 Chapter 1574 Bowing To The Heavens And Earth

    It was not until they entered the pce that Jun Shiling finally sensed that something was wrong.

    Xia Wei had always paid attention to the safety of Xia Wanyuan''s side. Hence, even in the pce, he had arranged for arge number of pce servants and guards to guard her. Today, it was very strange.

    Jun Shiling turned around. There was actually no one guarding the huge pce. It was so quiet that only the sound of the cold wind could be heard.

    Jun Shiling guessed even more that Xia Wanyuan had encountered some danger. He stepped straight into the hall, but he was shocked by the decorations in the hall.

    There were thousands of red lights. From the door to the hall, red silk covered the ground, embroidered with mandarin ducks with their necks crossed. Everything was red, but it was far inferior to the figure standing at the end of the red silk.

    Xia Wanyuan usually liked to wear in clothes or pce clothes. Jun Shiling had never seen her wear a red dress, especially a wedding dress.

    Decked in a red wedding dress, Xia Wanyuan''s clearly cold face was actually filled with the warmth of peach blossoms. Hearing themotion, Xia Wanyuan turned around. Her eyes were bright, her red lips and white teeth. There was a hint of shyness in her every move, but because of this fiery red, she revealed an inexplicable charm.

    Her fair skin was as bright as the moonlight, her slender waist was like a tight silk belt, and her ten fingers were like fresh onions. The phoenix crown on her head and the pearls on her body shone brightly under the candlelight.

    Jun Shiling was stunned andpletely forgot to walk in.

    Xia Wanyuan waited for a while. Seeing that Jun Shiling was still standing at the door in a daze, she waved at Jun Shiling helplessly. "Aren''t youing in?"

    Only then did Jun Shilinge back to his senses and slowly walk towards Xia Wanyuan. The temperature in his eyes increased.

    Xia Wanyuan was wearing a phoenix cor and robe. Behind the flowing beads, her face was flushed. "Didn''t you want to see me in a wedding dress?"

    ording to Jun Shiling, he did not know when he would leave this era. Perhaps Jun Shiling would leave when he woke up, so Xia Wanyuan did not want to wait for a moment.

    Jun Shiling replied in a low voice. He held Xia Wanyuan''s hand and parted the beads with his other hand. He carefully looked at Xia Wanyuan''s current appearance and sighed from the bottom of his heart. "You''re really beautiful."

    Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed by Jun Shiling''s praise. "Didn''t you say that you wanted our wedding ceremony? I prepared clothes for you."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Okay." Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan to the soft couch. After putting a nket on her, he turned to change.

    Not long after, a red figure walked out from behind the screen.

    Jun Shiling was wearing a red brocade robe with ck edges and gold embroidery. There was a golden jade belt around his waist, making him look noble.

    Jun Shiling reached out to Xia Wanyuan. "Come here."

    Xia Wanyuan walked up to Jun Shiling and ced her hand in his. Jun Shiling clenched his fist and walked out of the hall.

    At this moment, the sky was clear and the entire world was very quiet. It was as if there was only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in the entire world.

    Jun Shiling turned around, pushed away the beads in front of the phoenix crown, and looked straight into Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "I love you, no matter the time."

    Xia Wanyuan did not know how to reply. She clenched her fists nervously. She felt that she was about to drown in Jun Shiling''s gentle gaze.

    ? After a while, Xia Wanyuan only asked, "Aren''t we going to bow to the heaven and earth?"

    Jun Shiling shook his head. "No."

    In ancient times, bowing to the heaven and earth was considered a ceremony. He was unwilling to let Xia Wanyuan guard a person who would disappear at any time for the rest of her life.

    To him, in his heart, he had already bowed with Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she mustered her courage and asked softly, "If we don''t pray to the heaven and earth, how can we enter the bridal chamber?"

 Chapter 1575 Like

    Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, her face was already red. She coughed lightly and forced herself to be calm as she faced Jun Shiling''s surprised gaze. "What''s wrong? Am I wrong? The wedding process is like this¡­"

    Under Jun Shiling''s gaze, Xia Wanyuan''s voice became softer and softer. In the end, she shook off Jun Shiling''s hand that was holding hers in embarrassment and anger. "Why aren''t you saying anything? Why are you looking at me?"

    Jun Shiling suddenly smiled.

    Like a clear breeze and the moon in his arms, streams of light fell.

    "Are you stupid?" Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan''s head.

    Jun Shiling''s smile was very gentle, instantly melting the nervousness in Xia Wanyuan''s heart. "What about me?"

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan''s hand again, lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, "Did you prepare a bed for me?"

    Xia Wanyuan was suddenly nervous, but she still nodded. "Mm."

    "Then let''s go and rest." Jun Shiling touched Xia Wanyuan''s hand. "It''s too cold outside. Your hand is cold."

    Xia Wanyuan did not speak and followed Jun Shiling in obediently.

    The bedroom was also filled with bright red silk like the outside. The red mandarin ducknterns illuminated the entire room.

    Xia Wanyuan stood still. Jun Shiling reached out to take off the heavy phoenix cor and robe on her head and helped her remove theplicated and luxurious wedding dress. Then, he pulled Xia Wanyuan to the bed. "Sleep inside."

    "Oh." Xia Wanyuan''s heart had been beating quite fast when Jun Shiling unbuttoned her clothes. At this moment, she hadpletely lost her consciousness. She only knew that she would do whatever Jun Shiling asked her to do.

    Xia Wanyuany on the bed. Because she was too nervous, she closed her eyes. However, she could hear Jun Shiling taking off his clothes not far away. Her heart skipped a beat.

    After a while, a wave of heat came from beside her. A pair of hands reached out and hugged her.

    Jun Shiling''s body was very hot. In this cold winter, it warmed the entire nket. Surrounded by Jun Shiling''s aura, although Xia Wanyuan was nervous, she felt a rare peace of mind.<novelnext></novelnext>

    She gently adjusted her breathing and leaned into Jun Shiling''s arms.

    Jun Shiling''s eyes were filled with warmth as he patted Xia Wanyuan''s back. "Do you know that the current you is actually a little different from before?"

    Xia Wanyuan was a little curious. "What''s different?"

    "The you I met a thousand yearster was very calm and arrogant. The current you is also calm, butpared to before, you''re more childish."

    Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, although Xia Wanyuan had been with Jun Shiling for less than three days in this life, Jun Shiling had always used his strength to protect her. She had experienced fewer hardships, so her personality was naturally different from before.

    Furthermore, the current Xia Wanyuan was only neen years old. She was indeed still a child.

    Hearing Jun Shiling''s words, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a question. "Then which one do you like more?"

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and nced at Xia Wanyuan, gently scratching the tip of her nose. "They''re all you. I like both."

    Xia Wanyuan nodded, sounding a little unhappy. She suddenly had a very strong thought. If only I had my previous memories too.

    Jun Shiling sensed that she was not in a good mood, so he found all sorts of topics to chat with her. Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan, who had some bad thoughts, slowly fell asleep.

    Sensing that Xia Wanyuan''s breathing was bing more and more stable, Jun Shiling lowered his head and looked at her quietly for a while, then kissed her forehead.

    It was filled with sincerity and gentleness.

    It was not until the next day that the bell in the pce rang that Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and nced to the side.

    The ce where someone was lying yesterday was empty.

 Chapter 1576 Young Master Jun

    Xia Wanyuan immediately stood up and ran out without even putting on her shoes.

    When the pce maid saw Xia Wanyuane out "in a disheveled state", she was shocked and knelt outside the hall. "Eldest Princess, calm down."

    Xia Wanyuan stared intently at the pce maid in front of her. "Have you seen King Ning An? Where did he go?"

    "Eldest Princess, I came over early in the morning and didn''t see King Ning An. If Eldest Princess wants to look for him, I''ll send someone to pass it on."

    At this moment, snow began to fall outside the door. Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt that the floor under her feet was a little cold. She waved her hand. "It''s nothing. You can leave."

    "Yes." Everyone looked at each other in surprise and bewilderment, but in the end, they retreated.

    Because Xia Wanyuan''s actions in the morning were too strange, everyone specially reported to Xia Wei after retreating.

    After hearing everyone''s description, Xia Wei was silent for a moment. In the end, he only sighed. "Got it. Serve Sister well. If she does anything abnormal, tell me."

    To everyone''s surprise, Xia Wanyuan did not do anything abnormal. She ate normally, read memorials, went to court with Xia Wei, and chatted happily with her old friends.

    Everyone felt that Xia Wanyuan no longer cared about King Ning An, who had appeared for a short time.

    Until one day, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei admired the snow in the imperial garden together.

    Xia Wei turned around and was about to say something to Xia Wanyuan when he saw her staring at the blooming plum blossom on the branch. A sparkling teardrop hung from the corner of her eye.

    "Sister." Xia Wei could not help but call out to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan''s eyshes fluttered. She reached out to touch the plum blossom on the branch. "Xia Wei, get everyone to leave first."

    With a gesture from Xia Wei, everyone retreated.

    "Sister." Xia Wei was already much taller than Xia Wanyuan. He lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of Xia Wanyuan''s eyes. "I''ve already gotten someone to investigate, but¡­ he might have really disappeared."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and did not speak. Xia Wei patted Xia Wanyuan''s shoulder. "Sister, I got someone to move his cenotaph into the imperial mausoleum."

    This kind of thing was extremely inconsistent with the ancestral system. However, Xia Wei was the new emperor, and a new emperor with great power. After arguing with the court officials for nearly half a month, Xia Wei still decided on this matter.

    Xia Wanyuan knew how difficult this matter was. She looked up, her eyes still red. "Thank you."

    "Sister, telling me this is estrangement." Xia Wei pulled Xia Wanyuan''s arm closer.

    The child who had once pounced into Xia Wanyuan''s arms and acted coquettishly and was protected behind her, had already grown into an indomitable emperor in the world and could already be Xia Wanyuan''s support.

    The snow was getting heavier, but the two figures in the imperial garden had been standing quietly. No one dared to disturb them.

    The news of King Ning An''s death was finally announced to the world.

    It was clearly a national funeral, but another "good news" spread at the same time.

    That was, King Ning An had be the Prince Consort of the Great Xia Dynasty. Eldest Princess Xia Wanyuan supported his coffin and personally buried him in the imperial mausoleum.

    From then on, the love between the Eldest Princess and King Ning An became a mystery in history.

    Why would the Eldest Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had the power to rule the world, marry the dead King Ning An??

    "Brother Qingli, does this Eldest Princess love King Ning An very much??" In the afternoon garden, a beautiful girl in a beautiful princess dress was looking curiously at the handsome youth lying beside her.

    The young man''s facial features were extremely beautiful, and there was a smile on his lips. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be hooked with electricity at all times. He knocked the girl''s foreheadzily. "You don''t study hard and only know how to read these nonsense all day long. If your dark-faced brother finds out, he will hit you."

    The girl blinked her bright eyes. "Brother won''t hit me. Brother just looks fierce. If you call him dark-faced again, I''ll tell him."

    "Tsk, who''s afraid?" Before the handsome youth could finish speaking, he looked back reflexively and instantly jumped up from the chair. "Little Master Jun!! You''re scaring me to death. Why did you walk without making a sound!"

 Chapter 1577 Grown Up

    At this moment, standing in front of the two of them was a calm and handsome youth. His gaze was firm. Although he still looked like a youth, the aura on his body was extremely strong, vaguely giving people pressure.

    Jun Yin nced at Bo Qingli, then looked at the girl who was pouncing on him not far away with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

    "Brother!!" Little Xiaxia smiled and pounced into Jun Yin''s arms, acting coquettishly. "You''re finally back. I missed you so much!! You went on a business trip for a long time."

    A hint of doting shed across Jun Yin''s eyes, then he gently stroked Little Xiaxia''s head. "It''s only a week."

    Little Xiaxia snorted softly. "A week is also a long time! You''ve never left for so long before."

    Feeling his sister''s attachment, Jun Yin, who had always had a calm expression, had a smile on his face. "Mm, it''s Big Brother''s fault. I brought you a gift. Take a look?"

    "Wow." Seeing thetest bracelet in Jun Yin''s hand, Little Xiaxia''s eyes lit up happily.

    Bo Qingli stood at the side and looked at Little Xiaxia''s smile. The corners of his lips gradually curled up.

    Jun Yin nced at Bo Qingli. "Aren''t you leaving?"

    Bo Qingli clicked his tongue. "Little CEO Jun, aren''t you going too far? At least I call you Big Brother. Is there a need to chase me away like this?"

    Jun Yin looked behind him calmly. "Uncle Bo is here to look for you. Your teacher has already told him that you burned the school office."

    ??!

    Bo Qingli, who had been sloppy just now, immediately became serious. "Um, Big Brother, I''ll slip away first. Let''s gather next time."

    With that, Bo Qingli strode towards the back door and quickly disappeared into the garden.

    Unlike Bo Qingli''s reaction, Little Xiaxia was overjoyed to hear that Bo Xiao wasing. "Is Godfathering?? Where is he?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Yin pulled Little Xiaxia''s arm and walked in. "He didn''te. I lied to him. I led you astray every day."

    Little Xiaxia wrinkled her nose. "No, I''m the most obedient."

    Jun Yin did not speak again and only sized up Little Xiaxia as he walked. "You seem to have lost a little weight. Didn''t your second brother take good care of you?"

    Ever since Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin had taken care of Little Xiaxia together. When Jun Yin went on a business trip, the heavy responsibility of taking care of Little Xiaxia naturally fell on Jun Jiajin.

    Little Xiaxia hurriedly shook her head. "No, Second Brother treats me quite well. When we heard that you wereing back today, Second Brother specially waited for you at home."

    Speak of the devil. Just as Little Xiaxia finished speaking, a young man walked over from not far away. He had a faint smile on his face. Just by standing there, he was as elegant as an ink painting.

    "Brother." Seeing Jun Yin, Jun Jiajin''s indifferent eyes were clearly smiling. "You''re back."

    "Mm." Jun Yin nodded. "How have you been recently?"

    The three of them walked in together. Jun Yin asked his younger siblings about their lives like a little father.

    Uncle Wang stood behind and watched quietly. Aplicated expression appeared on his face. He was both relieved and sad.

    After Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left, everyone felt that this family would disperse. These three children without the protection of their parents would be very pitiful, but the three of them were united and used their young shoulders to support this family. This made him relieved.

    What was sad was that if Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were still around, Jun Yin would not have taken on such a heavy responsibility at such a young age. Even a butler like him felt his heart ache.

    The three of them had just entered when they saw two people sitting in the living room. They immediately said respectfully, "Great-grandfather, Priest Zhang."

    Priest Zhang, who had been traveling for more than ten years, looked no different from more than ten years ago. He smiled and nodded at these juniors. "Good, good. In the blink of an eye, you''ve all grown up."

 Chapter 1578 - 1578 Fate

    1578 Fate

    After more than ten years, Priest Zhang was no different from before, but Old Master Jun was clearly much older. After all, he was in his eighties. His beard and hair were almostpletely white, and the ravine on his face was getting deeper.

    Looking at the young and energetic children in front of him, Old Master Jun¡¯s eyes were filled with relief.

    Over the years, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s departure had dealt Old Master Jun a considerable blow. Fortunately, these few great-grandsons had given him greatfort.

    Jun Yin supported the entire Jun Corporation with his young shoulders. Jun Jiajin was calm and passionate about painting and calligraphy, but all these years, he had been helping Jun Yin deal with the corporation¡¯s matters.

    !!

    Foreign enemies surrounded them. In the years of turmoil, the happiest person in the Jun family was Little Xiaxia.

    She was pampered by the entire family. Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin had blocked all the storms for her. In the Jun family, Little Xiaxia¡¯s entire mission was to live happily and be everyone¡¯s little princess.

    ¡°Priest Zhang, Xiao Bao is about to reach adulthood. I hope you can help host hising-of-age ceremony.¡±

    The Jun family was a big family that had been around for a hundred years. The family still had some old habits. For example, when every sessor came of age, they had to hold a granding-of-age ceremony to announce that they already had the ability to be the new leader.

    Logically speaking, the person in charge of theing-of-age ceremony should be the previous generation¡¯s head. However, Jun Shiling had disappeared for so many years¡­ It could only be presided over by a respected person.

    Hearing Old Master Jun¡¯s words, Priest Zhang stroked his beard and shook his head mysteriously. ¡°I¡¯m not hosting.¡±

    ¡°Priest Zhang, you¡¯re an expert. I hope you can host my great-grandson¡¯sing-of-age ceremony. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as I¡­¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not because of this.¡± Priest Zhang shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m unwilling to host mainly because I¡¯m not the most suitable host.¡±

    Old Master Jun was stunned. ¡°Then who is?¡±

    Priest Zhang smiled with a mysterious aura. ¡°As for this host¡­ You¡¯ll know when the timees. I came this time to see you children. I¡¯m preparing to leave.¡±

    The old master widened his eyes. ¡°Priest, stay a few more days.¡±

    ¡°No need.¡± Priest Zhang stood up and waved his hand with a smile. ¡°This world is bustling with activity. It¡¯s all fate. Our fate ends here. We probably won¡¯t see each other in the future. Goodbye.¡±

    ¡°Priest Zhang, you¡­¡± Old Master Jun did not understand what Priest Zhang meant. He wanted to ask Priest Zhang to stay, but Priest Zhang had already strode out the door.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to send me off. Old Master, the Jun family has ancestors blessing them. I¡¯ll only guide you until here. See you again.¡±

    Priest Zhang walked extremely quickly. Not long after, his backpletely disappeared at the door. It was as if a gust of wind had passed through the world, leaving no traces.

    ¡°Great-grandfather, what does Priest Zhang mean?¡± Little Xiaxia¡¯s bright eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Sigh.¡± Old Master Jun sighed. ¡°Since Priest Zhang is unwilling to host youring-of-age ceremony, let me do it.¡±

    Looking at Old Master Jun, whose beard and hair werepletely white, Jun Yin¡¯s heart ached. ¡°Great-grandfather, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s so tiring to hold a ceremony. It¡¯s just a shell.¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± Old Master Jun interrupted Jun Yin. ¡°You¡­¡±

    Before the old master could finish speaking, Jun Yin¡¯s phone rang. The other party said a few words, and Jun Yin¡¯s expression clearly darkened. ¡°I understand.¡±

    He hung up and looked at Old Master. ¡°Great-grandfather, there¡¯s something on at thepany. I¡¯ll deal with it first.¡±

    The old master sighed. ¡°It¡¯s about the second branch again, right? Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Jun Jiajin was worried and left with Jun Yin.

    Seeing that her two brothers had left, Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Great-grandfather, Brother has worked so hard.¡±

    Old Master Jun¡¯s heart ached for Jun Yin, but he had no choice. Other than him, no one could hold the position of the head of the Jun Corporation. He stroked Little Xiaxia¡¯s head. ¡°Good girl.¡±

    Little Xiaxia leaned on Old Master Jun¡¯s shoulder and turned to see Old Master¡¯s white sideburns. For some reason, Little Xiaxia suddenly wanted to cry.

    She secretly missed Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan again. If only Daddy and Mommy were here, Great-grandfather and Brother would not have to work so hard.

 Chapter 1579 - 1579 Escalating Conflict

    1579 Escting Conflict

    Inside the Jun Corporation, Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin quickly went upstairs.

    In the past, the moment the two brothers appeared, they were the focus of the entire corporation. Countless pursuing gazesnded on them. Today, everyone¡¯s focus was on the two of them. The difference was that everyone was very worried today.

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s departure brought great pressure to the Jun Corporation. The Jun family branch, which had been suppressed by Jun Shiling, began to stir.

    At first, everyone was worried that this was Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s scheme. Although they wanted to seize power, they still suppressed it and did not move.

    !!

    As time passed, everyone began to tacitly agree that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan would never return. Those restless people finally extended their tentacles to the Jun Corporation.

    At first, Old Master Jun was still there to help Jun Yin. However, Old Master Jun had retired for a long time after all, and he was already old.

    Jun Yin grew very quickly. He could be said to be the most outstanding young man in Beijing.

    However, a huge family was not something that a pair of young shoulders like Jun Yin couldpletely shoulder.

    Over the years, the second branch of the Jun family had contacted Lady York, who was far away in Ennd, and they had very close contact with the Lin family in China.

    Although Jun Yin also had the help of the Wei family and the Mu family, he was getting more and more powerless.

    Early this morning, the second master of the Jun family brought people and barged into the CEO¡¯s office upstairs. No one could stop him at all, so they called Jun Yin over.

    At this moment, upstairs, Jun Yin pushed open the door. There was a group of people sitting in the office. In the middle was the man he should call Second Uncle.

    ¡°Hey, Xiao Yin, you¡¯re here?¡± Jun Li raised an eyebrow when he saw Jun Yin enter and greeted him smugly.

    ¡°Get up.¡± Seeing Jun Li sitting on his office chair, a chill appeared between Jun Yin¡¯s eyebrows. Although he was still young, the aura on his body was already very terrifying.

    Sensing the substantial pressureing from Jun Yin, Jun Li eximed in his heart.

    He could not let Jun Yin develop like this anymore. Fortunately, he had already made preparations with the Lin family. If he let Jun Yin continue like this, he would probably not be able to snatch the Jun family into his hands.

    ¡°Good nephew, your temper is really bad. Can¡¯t your second uncle sit in your chair?¡± Jun Li grinned. ¡°I¡¯m trying in advance. Anyway, in two days, I still have to sit in this office.¡±

    ¡°You can try.¡± The news of Jun Li joining forces with the York family and the Lin family had long spread to Jun Yin.

    They wanted to use tomorrow¡¯s global board of directors meeting to force him to step down.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll try?¡± Since he dared to fall out with Jun Yin, Jun Li was actually already fully prepared.

    More than half of the board members had been fought over by them.

    Tomorrow, at the board meeting, the Jun family wouldpletely lose control of the Jun family.

    Jun Yin¡¯s expression had alreadypletely darkened. ¡°In order to obtain the right to control the family, you didn¡¯t hesitate to betray the Jun family and ask a tiger for its skin. I won¡¯t let you seed no matter what.¡±

    ¡°Pfft.¡± Jun Li sneered. ¡°Do you think this is still the time when Jun Shiling is in power?? Which of the few major forces in the world can you invite? You¡¯re just a brat. If Jun Shiling were to stand in front of me and say such things today, I might still be afraid. But you, what a joke. Pack your things and get lost early. Don¡¯t wait for me to chase you away. That won¡¯t look good.¡±

 Chapter 1580 Back To The Modern World

    Although Jun Li''s words were unpleasant, everyone present knew that he was telling the truth.

    Every generation had a generation''swork. Even if the Wei family and the Cape family could help Jun Yin a little, Jun Yin was not Jun Shiling after all.

    The union between the few families was clearly not as close as before. Everyone was more helping to take care of them on ount of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan and would not help out.

    Sensing Jun Yin''s suppressed anger, Jun Jiajin secretly pulled Jun Yin''s sleeve.

    Feeling Jun Jiajin''s actions, Jun Yin barely suppressed the urge to punch him. "Then let''s wait and see how you n to get the Jun Corporation."

    With that, Jun Yin left the office with Jun Jiajin.

    "Pfft." Jun Li mocked. "Do you think you can criticize me just because you''re Jun Shiling''s son? Why don''t you take a look at yourself? You don''t even have teeth yet, but you still want to control the Jun Corporation."

    "That''s true. A few years ago, it was only because Second Master did not snatch it from him. After Jun Shiling left, the head of the Jun family should have been you. What does a child like him know?"

    Those in the business world were all fence-sitters who knew how to read the situation. They had long heard a lot of insider news. Everyone agreed that

    After tomorrow''s board meeting, Jun Li wouldpletely control the Jun Corporation, and the legend of Jun Shiling''s Jun family would forever be in the past.

    Under the building, Jun Jiajin''s eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Jun Yin, who was suppressing his anger. "Brother."

    Jun Yin turned around. "I''ve already gotten someone to prepare the ne tickets. Leave with Xiaxia tonight."

    "Brother."

    "You''re not allowed to question me this time." Jun Yin looked at Jun Jiajin. "I know you want to stay with me, but are you really relieved to leave Sister alone?"

    The Jun family had always been a thorn in the flesh of many forces in the world. Previously, everyone was still worried. Now that it was an eventful period, many people had long been restless. Jun Jiajin was naturally worried about letting Xiaxia leave alone.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Yin patted Jun Jiajin''s shoulder. "Don''t worry. The worst case scenario is that we would lose the Jun Corporation. They can''t touch my people."

    Jun Jiajin was silent for a few seconds before nodding. "Brother, be careful."

    "Okay."

    At this moment, in the Northwest Desert, it was deste and the sunlight was vicious. There was not a single living creature within a few hundred miles.

    It was gradually approaching noon. No one noticed that a red halo slowly appeared around the sun, casting a red light in the middle of the desert.

    It was noon. The red light in the center of the desert shone brightly.

    After some time, the red light finally gradually disappeared. There was already another person in the middle of the desert.

    The afternoon sun was getting brighter and brighter, burning one''s skin until it hurt. Jun Shiling finally slowly opened his eyes.

    What he saw was a golden color, making him a little dizzy. After reacting for a long time, Jun Shiling finally propped himself up.

    He looked around, not knowing what was going on. A burning sensation suddenly came from his hand. Jun Shiling looked down.

    The ck stone that Priest Zhang had given him was actually burning, and it quickly disappearedpletely. It turned into a gust of wind and disappeared from his hand.

    At that moment, a sound suddenly came from above Jun Shiling''s head. He looked up and his pupils dted.

    It was a search and rescue helicopter.

 Chapter 1581 Preference

    In the Jun family''s manor, a beautiful girl squatted at the door and clung to it. "Second Brother, I won''t leave even if you beat me to death today. I want to follow Big Brother."

    Jun Jiajin had long expected that he would not take Little Xiaxia away so easily. He smiled helplessly. "Brother wille back to visit us next month."

    Little Xiaxia hugged the door tighter. "Second Brother, you''ve be bad. How did you learn to lie? I''m not easy to lie to. If there''s no danger, Big Brother would never be willing to send me away."

    Little Xiaxia was too confident in herself. Although Jun Yin usually had a cold expression, he was the only one in the world who doted on her.

    When she was young, Jun Yin told Little Xiaxia myths. Little Xiaxia was especially interested in the Milky Way Heavenly Pce, so Jun Yin got someone to modify the entire manor. The sun, moon, and stars changed ording to Little Xiaxia''s wishes.

    She knew very well that he must have encountered a huge crisis, so Jun Yin sent her away. At this moment, she could not leave.

    Jun Jiajin pinched the space between his eyebrows. He clearly did not know what to do with Little Xiaxia.

    Not only was this little girl mischievous, but she had also been fed something by Yu Qian when she was young. She was immune to all poisons, so he could not get her some medicine before taking her away.

    Helpless, Jun Jiajin called Jun Yin.

    Soon, Jun Yin''s car appeared at the entrance.

    The moment she heard the car stop, Little Xiaxia pounced over.

    The moment Jun Yin got out of the car, Little Xiaxia pounced into his arms.

    "I heard from your second brother that you''re causing trouble again?" Jun Yin stroked Little Xiaxia''s head.

    "Brother, don''t even think of sending me away." Little Xiaxia hugged Jun Yin tightly. "If you send me away, I''ll slip back halfway, unless you have a way to lock me up forever."

    Jun Yin frowned slightly and was about to say something when Little Xiaxia began to sob. "Brother, I don''t want to leave you. Please, I want to stay by your side. If anything happens to you, Second Brother and I won''t live happily. Brother¡­"

    Jun Yin was silent for a while before finally patting Little Xiaxia''s head. "I understand. Let''s go back and eat."

    Little Xiaxia wiped her tears. "I''m going to look for Brother Qingli. I''lle back for dinnerter."

    "Okay." Jun Yin nodded. "I''ll get the chauffeur to send you."

    "Mm."

    In the Lanting Guild Hall, a group of people were sitting together and chatting. For some reason, the topic turned to Bo Qingli, who was sitting in the middle.<novelnext></novelnext>

    As thebination of a second-generation celebrity and a rich second-generation heir, coupled with a peerless face, Bo Qingli was an influential figure in this circle. Even sitting there, he attracted everyone''s attention.

    "Young Master Bo." A woman in a red dress sat beside Bo Qingli. "It''s rare for you toe. Cheers."

    Bo Qingli leaned on the sofa with his hand on his arm. Hearing this, he did not even look up. "I''m underage and don''t drink."

    The woman smiled and leaned closer to Bo Qingli. "Young Master Bo, you really know how to joke. I heard that a few days ago, Young Master Bo even drank a table of business big shots to the ground. Young Master Bo, you''re unwilling to give me face."

    Bo Qingli had indeed drunk a lot a few days ago. That day, Little Xiaxia attended a business banquet with him.

    Although Little Xiaxia was only fifteen years old, she already revealed a beautiful appearance, and naturally attracted some people to toast her frequently.

    That day, Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin were not around. Bo Qingli blocked all the wine for Little Xiaxia and stunned everyone.

    Seeing that Bo Qingli was in a daze, the woman''s voice became a little coquettish. "Young Master Bo."

    As she spoke, the woman wanted to put her hand on Bo Qingli''s arm.

    Bo Qingli finally looked up, his fox-like eyes filled with unconcealed disgust and impatience. "Get lost."

    The woman''s expression froze slightly, but when she thought of Bo Qingli''s identity, she still retained her smile. "Look at me. I don''t know how to speak. Young Master Bo, don''t be angry. I''ll punish myself with a ss."

    At this moment, Bo Qingli''s phone rang. He picked it up and his expression instantly improved. There was even a faint smile in his eyes.

    "Why are you looking for me again? I''m busy. I''ll hang up after you talk."

    Although he said that, Bo Qingli kept holding his phone steadily.

    However, to his surprise, in the past, when he teased Little Xiaxia like this, Little Xiaxia would jump up and scold him coquettishly. Today, she was especially quiet, and there was a hint of crying in her tone. "Brother Qingli, I want to see you."

    Bo Qingli immediately stood up. "Wait for me. I''ll be there in ten minutes."

    Under normal circumstances, it would take twenty minutes to get from the venue to his house.

    However, this time, Bo Qingli got the chauffeur to run four red lights in a row and arrived at his house in ten minutes.

 Chapter 1582 - 1582 Father and Son Talk

    1582 Father and Son Talk

    From the first time he saw Little Xiaxia until now, Bo Qingli had only seen her cry once, when Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling disappeared more than ten years ago.

    Today was the second time. Little Xiaxia sat at the door with red eyes, looking extremely sad.

    ¡°Stop the car.¡±

    The car suddenly stopped. Bo Qing pushed open the car door and strode towards Little Xiaxia.

    !!

    ¡°Brother Qingli.¡± Little Xiaxia looked up at Bo Qingli pitifully.

    Bo Qingli narrowed his beautiful fox-like eyes. He walked over and pulled Little Xiaxia up. ¡°Why are you crying, ugly girl?¡±

    Little Xiaxia wiped her tears. ¡°I came to say goodbye to you. We won¡¯t see each other again.¡±

    Bo Qingli¡¯s expression darkened. He stared intently at Little Xiaxia. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    Bo Qingli was so focused on Little Xiaxia leaving that he almost did not notice that he had already pinched Little Xiaxia¡¯s wrist red.

    ¡°Those people from the Jun family are going to attack my brother. I¡¯m going to attend the board meeting with my brother tomorrow. If I can¡¯te back¡­¡±

    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Bo Qingli frowned and interrupted Little Xiaxia. ¡°Impossible.¡±

    Little Xiaxia looked down. She shook Bo Qingli¡¯s arm. ¡°Brother Qingli, I just came to say goodbye to you. I¡¯m going back to go back and look for Big Brother and Second Brother.¡±

    With that, Little Xiaxia turned to leave, but Bo Qingli pulled her back. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Brother Qingli, you¡¯re the best.¡± Little Xiaxia hugged Bo Qingli as if she was hugging Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin.

    However, Bo Qingli froze.

    Although Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin were both boys, they had been protecting Little Xiaxia since she was young.

    Little Xiaxia had known since she was young that she could not have very intimate contact with other men.

    Before she was ten years old, Little Xiaxia could still hug Bo Qingli often. However, after she was ten years old, Bo Qingli consciously kept a distance from Little Xiaxia.

    Today was the first time Little Xiaxia had hugged him in so long.

    Bo Qingli¡¯s hand moved, but in the end, he did not touch her. An indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

    His heart suddenly raced. Looking at the hair on Little Xiaxia¡¯s head, Bo Qingli¡¯s ears subconsciously turned red.

    As if drawing strength from Bo Qingli, Little Xiaxia hugged him for a long time before letting go of him. ¡°Brother Qingli, I¡¯m going back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you.¡±

    When he was with Little Xiaxia, Bo Qingli was basically a chatterbox. However, on the way back to Little Xiaxia today, Bo Qingli was rarely silent.

    Until he sent Little Xiaxia home, Bo Qingli looked a little distracted.

    Watching Little Xiaxia enter the manor, Bo Qingli got the chauffeur to drive straight to the suburbs of Beijing.

    In themand room of a certain base, Bo Xiao, who was wearing a capable uniform, was talking to his subordinate when someone suddenly came to report.

    ¡°Little Master is here.¡±

    Bo Xiao was a little surprised. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go take a look.¡±

    He had been a little busy recently. Bo Xiao had not seen Bo Qingli for a long time. The moment he saw him, Bo Xiao went forward and patted Bo Qingli¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Is your mother okay at home?¡±

    Bo Qingli rolled his fox-like eyes. ¡°Dad, you even called my mother for two hoursst night. She¡¯s very good. She eats really well.¡±

    ¡°Rascal,¡± Bo Xiao scolded jokingly. ¡°Why are you looking for me? You won¡¯t look for me for no reason.¡±

    ¡°Something is going to happen to the Jun family. The second branch of the Jun family wants to attack Jun Yin. There¡¯s a board meeting tomorrow.¡± Bo Qingli said the main point sinctly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already received the news. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t sit back and do nothing.¡± Bo Xiaoforted Bo Qingli. ¡°Did youfort Little Xiaxia? She must be very worried.¡±

    At the mention of Little Xiaxia, Bo Qingli subconsciously thought of the warmth in his arms just now and his eyes flickered.

    A father knew his son best. Bo Xiao instantly sensed that something was wrong. He narrowed his fox-like eyes and sized Bo Qingli up seriously, then very seriously.

    ¡°You¡¯ve had many ideas since you were young, so I won¡¯t say much. It¡¯s just two sentences. One, liking someone is a matter of life. Think carefully first. Don¡¯t hurt Little Xiaxia. Otherwise, I¡¯d rather not have you as a son.

    ¡°Second, if you dare to do nonsense before you be adults, I¡¯ll break your legs.¡±

 Chapter 1583 - 1583 CEO Jun Saves His Son

    1583 CEO Jun Saves His Son

    Hearing Bo Xiao¡¯s words, Bo Qingli¡¯s expression was a little unnatural and even a little shy. ¡°Dad, what are you saying?¡±

    Seeing Bo Qingli¡¯s expression, Bo Xiao was even more certain of his guess. He snorted softly. ¡°Don¡¯t I know you? Do you remember what I just said?¡±

    Bo Qingli smiled and nodded. ¡°Got it, Dad. Don¡¯t worry, I know my limits.¡±

    Bo Qingli looked unruly, but Bo Xiao knew that he knew what he was doing, so he did not say anything else to him. ¡°Alright, go back. I¡¯ll be at the venue tomorrow.¡±

    !!

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Not long after Bo Qingli left, An Rao called. A beautiful face appeared on the screen, and her beautiful eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°Hubby, are you working?¡±

    ¡°From now, I still have ten minutes to rest.¡± Seeing An Rao, Bo Xiao¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°Are you filming?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± An Rao showed Bo Xiao the surrounding scene. ¡°Do you know about the Jun family?¡±

    ¡°I know. Qingli has alreadye over just now. I¡¯ll rush back to the city tonight.¡±

    ¡°Qingli?¡± An Rao was a little puzzled, but on second thought, Bo Qingli had always had a good rtionship with the Jun family¡¯s children. It was normal for him to care about them.

    ¡°Mm.¡± At this moment, a subordinate was gesturing at Bo Xiao not far away. Bo Xiao nodded and bade farewell to An Rao. ¡°Someone is looking for me. I¡¯ll go and get busy first. Film well and save more money for your future daughter-inw.¡±

    ¡°How can I have a future daughter-inw?¡± An Rao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Qingli isn¡¯t fooling around outside, right?? My future daughter-inw position is going to be reserved for Little Xiaxia. Aiya, you haven¡¯t been back in a long time. You don¡¯t even know that Little Xiaxia is getting more and more beautiful. I want a daughter too.¡±

    Hearing An Rao¡¯s nagging, Bo Xiao was amused. He nodded. ¡°Okay, when I¡¯m done during this period of time, let¡¯s put the matter of giving birth to a daughter on the agenda. Let¡¯s not talk anymore. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    ¡°Mm, bye, Hubby. Love you ~¡± In front of Bo Xiao, An Rao would always have the innocent dependence of a child.

    ¡°Mm, I love you too.¡±

    After hanging up, Bo Xiao arranged everything and rushed back to Beijing overnight.

    The next morning, when most people were still immersed in sleep, the entrance of the Jun Corporation was already filled with cars. People kept walking into the corporation.

    At this moment, in the CEO¡¯s office, Jun Li was talking to the shareholders beside him with his legs crossed.

    ¡°Second Master, congrattions in advance on bing the head of the Jun family.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. As long as the board of directors approves, the Jun Corporation will be yours. Second Master¡¯s long-cherished wish can finallye true.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, after this is done, I won¡¯t mistreat you.¡± Jun Li nodded smugly.

    At that moment, footsteps came from outside the door. Jun Yin walked in with Jun Jiajin and Jun Muxia.

    In this huge office, the three underage children were too youngpared to a group of gray-haired shareholders.

    ¡°Nephew, you¡¯re here?¡± Jun Li sat on the chair and did not move. He smiled at Jun Yin and pointed at a seat not far away. ¡°Nephew, sit. The meeting is about to begin.¡±

    Jun Yin ignored Jun Li and walked straight to him. ¡°Even if we want to hold a board meeting, at this moment, I¡¯m still the acting head of the Jun family. You don¡¯t have the right to sit in this position.¡±

    Jun Yin¡¯s aura was deep, and for a moment, it actually made Jun Li¡¯s heart turn cold. He was stunned for a moment and stood up for some reason. ¡°Since Nephew cares so much about this seat, I¡¯ll let you sit for a while more. I hope you can always guard this seat.¡±

    With that, Jun Li walked to the side and sat down.

    Jun Yin sat down. Jun Jiajin and Little Xiaxia stood behind him. Jun Yin nced at the people sitting around him. This group of people who usually called out to Little CEO Jun avoided Jun Yin¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Since everyone is so anxious, let the meeting begin.¡±

    Even though Jun Yin had already made many preparations, Jun Li had the Lin family and the York family backing him. Jun Li had the upper hand in the vote for the new head.

    When the voting ended, there was almost no need to count the votes. Everyone could tell that Jun Li had already taken down most of the shareholders.

    ¡°Nephew, how is it? Can you get down from this position?¡± Jun Li stood up smugly and walked towards Jun Yin.

    Jun Yin¡¯s face darkened and he did not speak. He was about to say something when footsteps suddenly came from outside the office.

    Jun Li frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to let anyone approach this ce? Now, no matter who it is, chase them out!¡±

    ¡°I want to hear who you¡¯ve chosen to be the new head.¡±

    Hearing this voice, everyone was a little stunned. Why did it feel familiar?

    The next second, a face that no one would ever dare to forget appeared at the door.

    ¡°Jun¡­ Jun Shiling?¡±

 Chapter 1584 CEO Juns Support Brigade

    The office that had been noisy just now was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.

    Jun Li looked at Jun Shiling, his hands trembling uncontrobly. After some time, he suddenly shouted, "This isn''t Jun Shiling at all!! He''s fake! It''s been more than ten years. How can Jun Shiling not have changed at all!!! He''s a simted robot Jun Yin got over! Chase him out!"

    Hearing Jun Li''s words, everyone carefully sized up Jun Shiling''s appearance. Everyone was shocked.

    Jun Shiling looked exactly the same as when he left many years ago. There was no change at all.

    But did such a perfect robot really exist in this world??

    Jun Shiling was silent and did not answer everyone''s questions.

    That was because he could not exin the reason, but he guessed that it should be because of the ck stone that Priest Zhang had given him.

    Not only could that stone bring him back to the modern world, but it also did not leave any traces on him for more than ten years.

    However he looked like when he came back was exactly like how he did when he left this era.

    In fact, even the suit he was wearing was the same one he had worn when he left back then.

    Everyone looked at Jun Shiling and discussed. Little Xiaxia stood at the side and looked at Jun Shiling quietly.

    Sensing Little Xiaxia''s gaze, Jun Shiling looked in her direction.

    The moment the two of them looked at each other, an indescribable warmth appeared in Little Xiaxia''s heart. She suddenly ran forward and threw herself into Jun Shiling''s arms. "Daddy!! I know it''s you!!"

    Warmth fell into his arms. Looking at Little Xiaxia, who had already grown into a young girl in her prime, Jun Shiling''s heart ached. He raised his hand and stroked Little Xiaxia''s hair. "Good girl."

    At this moment, Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin looked at each other and finally confirmed their thoughts.

    The two brothers walked up to Jun Shiling with red eyes. "Father."

    Looking at his sons, who had already grown into indomitable men, Jun Shiling nodded slightly. "You did very well."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Initially, everyone was still questioning very firmly. Now that they saw them reuniting, they were a little suspicious. Could this person really be Jun Shiling?

    Jun Li finally calmed down. He nced at Jun Shiling''s face as usual, made up his mind, and gave the people around him a look.

    At this point, regardless of whether Jun Shiling was real or fake,

    Today, he had to be fake.

    "What can prove that he''s real?? Impossible. I advise you not to y these tricks. Someone, chase this person who tried to pretend to be Jun Shiling out!!"

    "Let me see who dares to bomb it." Footsteps sounded in the corridor. Soon, Bo Xiao appeared in front of everyone in a formal suit.

    After more than ten years of precipitation, Bo Xiao''s prestige in the military was already quite high. When he stood there, he had an extremely high deterrence. The security guards, who were about to go forward, looked at each other and did not dare to approach Jun Shiling again.

    "You bunch of trash." Jun Li scolded angrily. "I''ll be responsible for what happened today. Throw this imposter out!!"

    "CEO Jun, it''s been many years since west met. You''re looking younger and younger." Footsteps came from the corridor again, and a gentle but expressionless face appeared in front of everyone.

    At first, everyone felt that it was a little unfamiliar, until someone suddenly shouted, "This is Yu Qian, Continent Lord Yu, right?!!!"

    Before anyone could be surprised, someone walked towards the meeting room.

    "CEO Jun, long time no see." An Lin smiled and reached out to Jun Shiling.

    "Cousin-inw." Wei Jin and Mu Feng stood behind Jun Shiling.

    Looking at the groups of people behind Jun Shiling, Jun Li looked dejected.

    There was no need to continuepeting today.

    He had lost.

 Chapter 1585 Superstar

    Looking at Jun Shiling, who was surrounded by everyone, whose eyes had not changed at all from more than ten years ago, Jun Li''s heart was filled with indignance.

    More than ten years ago, I was suppressed by Jun Shiling. Why did Jun Shiling return more than ten yearster when I was just a step away from sess?!

    Jun Shiling knew what Jun Li was thinking, but to a lion, strength was everything. All covetousness could not pose a threat to him.

    Seeing that everyone had already begun to reminisce around Jun Shiling, Jun Li felt that the situation was hopeless and prepared to leave.

    At this moment, a group of police officers appeared at the door. "Jun Li, you''re charged with tax evasion and causing chaos in the market. Pleasee with us."

    Jun Li''s eyes widened. He turned to look at Jun Yin, who smiled at him calmly. "Second Uncle, you''re right. It''s still unknown who will win."

    "You!" Jun Li wanted to say something, but a pair of handcuffs came up and took him away.

    What happened in the meeting room of the Jun Corporation quickly spread throughout the world.

    Within a day, everyone knew.

    Jun Shiling was back.

    Jun Shiling, who had disappeared for more than ten years, reappeared. Other than caring where Jun Shiling had been for the past ten years, everyone was also concerned if Xia Wanyuan would return.

    [ Jun Shiling is back. Xia Wanyuan, who has disappeared for so long, should be back too. Didn''t the two of them disappear together? ]

    [I saw the photo¡­ To be honest, CEO Jun hasn''t changed from more than ten years ago. Good lord, could he have gone to cultivate behind everyone''s backs?]

    [ Hearing you mention Xia Wanyuan, I''m so sad. I miss her so much. Although Xia Wanyuan has left, no one in the entertainment industry can surpass the legend she left behind. There''s only one world superstar. ]

    The legend that Xia Wanyuan had left in the entertainment industry had not only caused the crowd to not forgot her after time, but she also had more and more fans year by year.

    Even though more than ten years had passed, not only did Xia Wanyuan''s fans not decrease, but they were also rising year by year.

    The current her was already the undisputed number one superstar in the world, the number one business card in China that could be recognized no matter where she went.

    Unfortunately, no matter how many people missed and thought of her, Xia Wanyuan herself could not see it.

    In the manor, Little Xiaxia nestled in Jun Shiling''s arms and looked at him curiously. "Daddy, why haven''t you changed?"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Looking at the beautiful Little Xiaxia who looked like Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling''s heart was both relieved and sour. He pinched Little Xiaxia''s face. "I''ll tell you in the future."

    "Okay." Little Xiaxia hugged Jun Shiling''s arm. "Daddy, are you not leaving this time??"

    Jun Shiling nodded. "Mm, I won''t leave again."

    "That''s great!!" Little Xiaxia leaned on Jun Shiling''s shoulder and felt her father''s aura.

    Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin sat at the side. The lights quietly shone down, and the room was peaceful and quiet.

    No one mentioned Xia Wanyuan, nor did anyone dare to ask.

    The night gradually deepened. Although Little Xiaxia was already a big girl, she still pestered Jun Shiling to tell her a bedtime story before falling asleep under Jun Shiling''s gentle voice.

    After Little Xiaxia fell asleep, Jun Shiling walked downstairs.

    On the sofa downstairs, Yu Qian hade over at some point in time. He looked straight at Jun Shiling. "Where''s Xia Wanyuan?"

    "I don''t know."

    "What do you mean you don''t know?" Yu Qian frowned. "Can shee back?"

    "I don''t know."

    To Jun Shiling, he did not have any hope that Xia Wanyuan could return again. After all, Xia Wanyuan was from that era, but Jun Shiling had a hidden hope in his heart.

    What if she could break through the limit of time and space and return here again?

    However, in Jun Shiling''s opinion, this hope was too slim.

    Sensing Jun Shiling''s instantly dejected mood, Yu Qian did not ask further. He nced upstairs and stood up. "I''m leaving. The things on the table are for Little Xiaxia."

    With that, Yu Qian left.

 Chapter 1586 - 1586 Stars Sparkling

    1586 Stars Sparkling

    In the bedroom, Little Xiaxia, who had been lying on the bed, had left the room at some point in time. The nket on the bed had long lost its warmth.

    Outside the manor, his subordinate had been waiting for Yu Qian for a long time. ¡°Governor, we¡¯ve already prepared a ne. We can set off immediately.¡±

    Yu Qian was about to say something when he suddenly frowned slightly. He turned around and indeed found a small head poking out of the door.

    ¡°Uncle Yu.¡± After not seeing Yu Qian for many years, Little Xiaxia called out to him carefully.

    !!

    In the office during the day, Yu Qian had already seen Little Xiaxia once, but he did not take a closer look due to the peopleing and going. Now that he looked at her seriously, Little Xiaxia had indeed grown up. Her eyes were a little simr to Xia Wanyuan¡¯s, but she was a little more delicate than her.

    The evening wind blew. Looking at the girl in front of him, for some reason, Yu Qian felt emotional.

    ¡°Uncle Yu, I want to talk to you for a while.¡± Seeing that Yu Qian was ignoring her, Little Xiaxia leaned closer, her bright eyes filled with restrained longing.

    To Little Xiaxia, Jun Shiling was her father, and although Yu Qian was not rted to Little Xiaxia by blood, he had brought her to experience the beauty of the world and given her the most beautiful childhood. In Little Xiaxia¡¯s heart, she had also left an important position for Yu Qian.

    Hearing Little Xiaxia¡¯s words, Yu Qian turned around. ¡°Tell me, I¡¯m still in a hurry to leave.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s coldness made Little Xiaxia a little disappointed, but this rare opportunity to see him still made her quickly pull herself together. Little Xiaxia leaned towards Yu Qian. ¡°Uncle Yu, when are youing again?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe I won¡¯te back.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Little Xiaxia lowered her head and kept stirring the corners of her clothes. ¡°Uncle Yu, I don¡¯t have anything else. I just want to tell you that I miss you.¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s expression was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly. He was silent for a while before finally responding and getting into the car.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    As soon as Yu Qian finished speaking, the car started.

    At this moment, Little Xiaxia suddenly rushed over and knocked on the car window. The car window opened and Yu Qian¡¯s cold face appeared. ¡°Is there anything else?¡±

    ¡°Uncle Yu, I know you. Actually, you like me very much. You¡¯re afraid of loneliness, so you reject all the people and things that might make you feel warm because you¡¯ll be even sadder after losing them, right?¡±

    Yu Qian¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°I won¡¯t be sad. Perhaps you should ask others what kind of person I, Yu Qian, am.¡±

    ¡°Why should I know you from others?¡±

    Little Xiaxia¡¯s words finally made Yu Qian turn around.

    At this moment, what entered Yu Qian¡¯s eyes was a pair of bright eyes.

    ¡°Uncle Yu, you have to visit me often.¡± Little Xiaxia reached out and handed the small box she had been carrying to Yu Qian. ¡°This is a gift for you.¡±

    Yu Qian looked at the small box in front of him and finally reached out to take it.

    ¡°Pinky promise.¡± Little Xiaxia extended her pinky to Yu Qian. ¡°You have to visit me often, or I can also look for you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    For a long time, Yu Qian¡¯s persistence came from loneliness.

    However, at this moment, under the gaze of those bright eyes, it was as if everything around him had some warmth again.

    It was impossible for Yu Qian to stay in Beijing for long. After bidding farewell to Little Xiaxia, Yu Qian¡¯s car left Beijing ording to the original n.

    Watching the carpletely disappear from her sight, Little Xiaxia prepared to go back to sleep. However, just as she turned around, she saw Jun Shiling standing at the door.

    ¡°Daddy.¡± Little Xiaxia jogged towards Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling reached out to catch her and patted Little Xiaxia¡¯s back. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯lle back to visit you in the future. Go back and rest early.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Feeling her father¡¯sfort, Little Xiaxia felt very satisfied. She finally could not help but ask, ¡°Will Mommye back?¡±

    ¡°As long as we keep thinking about her, perhaps she will reallye back one day.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    The father and daughter walked forward under the moonlight. At this moment, the stars in the sky flickered. No one noticed that a star suddenly lit up clearly and then hid in the darkness.

 Chapter 1587 - 1587 The Princess Is Here

    1587 The Princess Is Here

    The next morning, everyone gathered in the manor after knowing that Jun Shiling had returned.

    Old Master Jun rushed over after hearing the news in the morning. When he finally saw his grandson, who had disappeared for more than ten years, Old Master Jun cried on the spot.

    ¡°Ah Ling, you¡¯re finally back!!¡± Old Master Jun wiped his tears. ¡°I can finally go down to report to your parents.¡±

    Looking at Old Master Jun, whose beard and hair werepletely white, Jun Shiling¡¯s heart ached. He took a step forward and knelt down in front of Old Master Jun. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    !!

    Loyalty and filial piety could not be mixed. He chose to follow Xia Wanyuan and leave an old man like Old Master Jun in China to support such arge family business alone. He felt very guilty.

    However, as an elder, Old Master Jun had never med Jun Shiling. He pulled Jun Shiling up. ¡°Silly child, you¡¯re back. Don¡¯t say these things anymore. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. I can die in peace.¡±

    Jun Shiling helped Old Master Jun sit on the sofa. The juniors immediately surrounded him tofort him. Little Xiaxia quickly amused Old Master.

    An Rao leaned against Bo Xiao and looked at the scene of the grandfather and grandson reuniting in front of her. Her eyes were red. She leaned gently on Bo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but it¡¯s clearly such a warm scene, but I feel inexplicably sad.¡±

    Bo Xiao knew what An Rao meant.

    Jun Shiling¡¯s return was undoubtedly a happy thing for the Jun family, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s absence was an indelible wound for every one of them.

    Especially Jun Shiling.

    Over the years, they had been studying the reason why Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had disappeared. They vaguely knew a little. Now that Jun Shiling had returned, Xia Wanyuan was still missing.

    Although no one dared to ask, they privately guessed that Xia Wanyuan might never appear, not even a trace.

    The manor was bustling for the entire day until it finally fell silent at night.

    ¡°Father, tomorrow is mying-of-age ceremony.¡± Jun Yin walked down the stairs and spoke to Jun Shiling.

    Jun Shiling replied, ¡°I¡¯ll host youring-of-age ceremony tomorrow.¡±

    Hearing Jun Shiling¡¯s voice, Jun Yin paused for a moment.

    Because he could tell that Jun Shiling seemed to be choking.

    Jun Yin¡¯s deep gazended on Jun Shiling. He sighed in his heart and finally turned to go upstairs. ¡°Father, I¡¯m going to sleep first.¡±

    This silent moment must be when my father missed my mother the most. It was better for me to leave time for him.

    In the empty living room, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be everywhere.

    Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and looked at the starlight outside the window. He pursed his lips slightly. ¡°Will youe back?¡±

    The only response he received was an empty silence.

    Jun Yin did not know how long Jun Shiling sat in the living room that night. He only knew that when he got up and went downstairs, he happened to see Jun Shiling get up from the sofa.

    Today was Jun Yin¡¯sing-of-age ceremony. The manor had already begun to prepare.

    He was the future sessor of the Jun Corporation, so theing-of-age ceremony was naturally not a simple ceremony. This was an important event for the world.

    In the venue, Jun Yin walked onto the rostrum apanied by Jun Shiling. The father and son had simr faces and temperament, giving everyone present a sense of authority.

    ¡°Thank you foring to Jun Yin¡¯sing-of-age ceremony.¡± Jun Shiling held the microphone and looked at Jun Yin in relief. ¡°I¡¯m an ipetent father, but fortunately, Jun Yin has already be an outstanding child.¡±

    In the venue, everyone was listening to Jun Shiling¡¯s speech seriously. No one noticed a slender figure walking up the stairs.

 Chapter 1588 The Princess Returns

    On stage, Jun Shiling was still talking.

    "I haven''t been back for more than ten years. Thank you for taking care of Jun-"

    Jun Shiling was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped and looked straight at thest row below the stage.

    Could it be an illusion?? I seemed to have seen Xia Wanyuan''s figure just now, but when I looked over, there was nothing.

    Jun Shiling paused for too long, and the guests below began to look back, but there was nothing??

    "Father, what''s wrong?" Jun Yin looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. "What''s the matter?"

    Jun Shiling shook his head. "It''s nothing. Continue."

    Because he had been in a daze just now, Jun Shiling was a little distracted in the following speech. He hurriedly ended the speech, then walked off the stage and sat in his seat.

    The main character today was Jun Yin. Today was hising-of-age ceremony and his birthday.

    After all the agendas ended, everyone began to send Jun Yin the gifts they had prepared.

    Jun Yin stood on stage and thanked the guests as he epted the gifts.

    Putting the box in his hand aside, Jun Yin prepared to receive the next gift. However, when he reached out, the other party did not give him anything.

    Jun Yin looked up and was stunned.

    "M-mom?" Facing this pair of bright and gentle eyes and that extremely familiar face, Jun Yin could not help but call out.

    Looking at the tall and handsome Jun Yin, who was already 186 years old, the corners of Xia Wanyuan''s lips curled up into a smile. She nodded. "Mm, I want to give you a gift for youring-of-age ceremony."

    As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she opened her arms to Jun Yin.

    Jun Yin''s eyes turned red as he hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly. He was already much taller than Xia Wanyuan, but he still leaned on her shoulder like a child.

    "Mommy, you''re finally back."

    Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Yin''s back. "Mm, I''m back."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan suddenly appear, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone could not help but look at Jun Shiling, who was sitting in the first row.

    Jun Shiling''s expression did not change. He still maintained his original position.

    No one knew that the ce he was holding had already been cracked by him.

    On stage, the two of them had hugged for long enough. Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Yin''s back. "Alright, let''s end the ceremony first and talk when we get back."

    "Okay."

    The biggest gift for thising-of-age ceremony had already been received. Now, Jun Yin could not wait to bring Xia Wanyuan home. He pulled Xia Wanyuan down the stage and handed the rest to the host.

    Below the stage, Jun Yin and Xia Wanyuan stood in front of Jun Shiling.

    "Father, let''s go back first." Jun Yin knew that the calm Jun Shiling''s heart must be surging.

    Jun Shiling''s gaze had been glued to Xia Wanyuan, not even daring to blink. He nodded. "Okay."

    When he was done speaking, Jun Shiling did not move.

    Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and stepped forward to pull Jun Shiling''s hand. She whispered into his ear, "I''m back. Let''s go back."

    Only then did Jun Shiling finallye back to his senses. He held Xia Wanyuan''s hand backhandedly, squeezing it so hard that it almost left red marks.

    He finally stood up and held Xia Wanyuan''s hand as they left the hall.

    After they left, the silence in the hall was finally broken.

    "Xia Wanyuan?! She''s back!! Why do I feel that she''s no different from more than ten years ago?!"

    "Damn, I actually cried. Where did Xia Wanyuane from? It''s too sudden."

    Outside the hall, Jun Jiajin and Little Xiaxia, who had heard the news, ran over. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, the two of them hugged her.

    "Mommy!!!"

 Chapter 1589 Reunion

    Little Xiaxia and Jun Jiajin each hugged Xia Wanyuan until she could not breathe.

    Jun Shiling reached out and pulled his children''s arms away. "Be gentle."

    "¡­" Little Xiaxia looked at Jun Shiling speechlessly.

    She had always heard others say that Jun Shiling doted on his wife, but she did not expect it to be so exaggerated.

    "Dad! You''re too much. I''ve only hugged her for a short while!!"

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan''s waist. "It''s enough."

    I had not even hugged her.

    "¡­" Along the way, Xia Wanyuan was everyone''s target. However, Jun Shiling was still experienced and upied the best position beside Xia Wanyuan, not letting anyone seed.

    The chauffeur had been driving for the Jun family for a long time.

    At first, he drove Jun Shiling. Later on, he witnessed Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan approach each other step by step. Later on, Jun Shiling was the only one left.

    Slowly, there were only a few children in the car. This was the first time everyone was gathered together. Even he, an outsider, was infected by the joyous atmosphere in the car.

    How nice.

    At the entrance of the manor, Old Master Jun, who had heard the news, was already waiting. Seeing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walk out of the car hand in hand, Old Master was so happy that his beard trembled.

    ? "Great, great!" He was relieved.

    Seeing the old master, Xia Wanyuan walked forward and bowed to him ording to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty.

    The old master helped Xia Wanyuan up. "What are you doing?"

    "I''ve made Grandpa worry about me." After not seeing him for many years, Xia Wanyuan''s eyes instantly turned red as she looked at the old master, whose hair was alreadypletely white.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "It''s good that you''re back." Old Master patted Xia Wanyuan''s hand. "Go in. Uncle Wang has already gotten someone to prepare food."

    "Okay."

    The moon gradually climbed up to the sky and shone a gentle light on the entire manor. The banquet had already begun in the living room. The heat and the fragrance of the food pounced on the French window, blurring everything in the living room. One could vaguely hearughter spiraling up and filling the entire night sky.

    At this moment, in the Bo family''s vi, An Rao could neither sit nor stand. She was as anxious as a little monkey scratching its ears and cheeks.

    Bo Xiao grabbed An Rao''s hand in amusement. "Can you behave yourself?"

    "No!" An Rao''s eyes were especially bright. "Yuan Yuan is back!! If not for you stopping me, I would have gone to look for her in the afternoon!!"

    "They''re reunited now. Furthermore, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan haven''t seen each other for so long. They probably have a lot to say. Stay obediently and don''t cause them trouble."

    "¡­" An Raoy on Bo Xiao''s shoulder aggrievedly. "But I miss Yuan Yuan very much. Then apany me to look for her tomorrow morning."

    "Are you sure you want to go tomorrow morning?" Bo Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes deep.

    "¡­" An Rao instantly understood what Bo Xiao meant. "Alright, let''s go over for lunch tomorrow."

    "Good girl." Bo Xiao reached out and stroked An Rao''s head. "Go and rest."

    In the manor, it was already veryte when dinner was over, so Old Master stayed in the manor.

    Little Xiaxia tried to sleep with Xia Wanyuan, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

    After a lively gathering for the entire day, when she returned to the bedroom, the surroundings fell silent. Seeing that the surroundings were the same as before, Xia Wanyuan''s heart warmed.

    She had not returned for too long. Xia Wanyuan wanted to take another look at the bedroom, but a pair of arms had already hugged her from behind.

 Chapter 1590 Princess And CEO Juns Love

    Jun Shiling wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan for the entire day, but she was upied by those little fellows today.

    It was still the familiar temperature and the familiar fragrance. Jun Shiling rested his head on Xia Wanyuan''s shoulder in satisfaction. "Baby, how did youe back?"

    Xia Wanyuan raised her hand and ced it in Jun Shiling''s palm, then turned to look at him. "Xia Wei sent me back."

    "Xia Wei?" Jun Shiling was a little surprised.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. "The most important condition to open the space-time tunnel is the power of an emperor."

    After Jun Shiling left the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan fell seriously ill. When she recovered, although she looked fine on the surface, her body was getting thinner.

    Xia Wei knew Xia Wanyuan so well, so how could he not know why she was hurt?

    Hence, he sent someone to the Heaven Prison and interrogated Jiang Qing about the way to open the space-time tunnel.

    Xia Wei set up an array and activated it with the power of an emperor, finally sending Xia Wanyuan away from that era.

    After Xia Wanyuan left, Xia Wei announced to the public that the Eldest Princess and King Ning An had a close rtionship and that she would guard King Ning An''s tomb for the rest of her life. From then on, the world never saw the Eldest Princess, who had stunned an era.

    "Have you not read history books since you returned?"

    "No." Jun Shiling shook his head.

    Actually, to be honest, Jun Shiling did not have any hope of Xia Wanyuan''s return. In his opinion, this was unrealistic.

    Furthermore, as far as he knew, history would not change.

    Now that he heard Xia Wanyuan''s question, Jun Shiling was reminded. "You mean that history has changed too?"

    "Perhaps."

    Hence, on this night where many people felt that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling should have a short spring night, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling flipped through history books in the study.

    What puzzled the two of them was that the records in the history books had still not changed. However, in the ten years that the two of them had disappeared, the archeological team that had once been led by Xia Wanyuan had revised the history of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, making this dazzling dynasty bloom with a dazzling light again in the long river of history.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Under the decipherment of the words and books left behind by Xia Wanyuan, the elegant bearing of the eldest princess of the Xia Dynasty appeared again. Xia Wei''s name also appeared in China''s five-thousand-year-old emperor list.

    Although she had already made preparations when she returned, Xia Wanyuan still felt a little sad when she thought of how her younger brother, who had still been alive yesterday, had now be a simple word in the history books.

    Jun Shiling knew what Xia Wanyuan was thinking. He also knew what Xia Wanyuan had given up for him. He gently hugged her.

    "Thank you."

    Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling back. "Thank you too."

    The two of them hugged each other and enjoyed the rare peace at this moment. After experiencing so many difficulties and obstacles, they had even crossed the river of time. At this moment, feeling each other''s warmth, the two of them were extremely certain that from now on, nothing could separate the two of them.

    After some time, Jun Shiling suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room. "Baby, how old are you now?"

    "Twenty-two. What about you?"

    Xia Wanyuan''s current body was brought over directly from ancient times, so it was naturally the age when she left the ancient times.

    ording to the year he left this era, Jun Shiling''s expression darkened slightly. "29 years old."

    Other than that, Jun Shiling had another question. "Then do you remember what happened before??"

    The ancient Xia Wanyuan did not have the memories of a thousand yearster. The current Xia Wanyuan was probably¡­

    To Jun Shiling''s surprise, Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Yes, those memories seem to have appeared out of thin air. The moment I entered this era, they werepletely filled."

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan thought for a long time, but they could not think of the problem.

    In the end, seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been frowning, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms. "Don''t think about this anymore. Take it as God''s arrangement. Perhaps we can do something serious now."

    "???" Xia Wanyuan was about to speak when Jun Shiling swallowed her.

 Chapter 1591 The World Cheers For The Princess

    The night was long and the moonlight was just right. The spring wind gently swayed the peach petals and fluttered down in front of the window.

    Xia Wanyuan was already extremely tired. She leaned into Jun Shiling''s arms and did not want to speak. Her gaze lingered on the fluttering peach blossom tree for a long time.

    Jun Shiling hugged her from behind with a satisfied smile. "Let''s get married, okay?"

    After so long, there had never been aplete wedding between Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Jun Shiling''s dream had always been to hold Xia Wanyuan''s hand and announce to the world that Xia Wanyuan was his wife and always would be.

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Okay."

    However, just as she finished speaking, she frowned. Under the nket, Xia Wanyuan grabbed Jun Shiling''s hand. "Jun Shiling!"

    Jun Shiling buried his head in Xia Wanyuan''s shoulder and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Madam, I wasn''t full just now."

    Xia Wanyuan gently kicked Jun Shiling under the nket. "Don''t go too far."

    Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan''s waist and turned her around to face him. "Previously in the pce, I saw someone put on the bed¡­"

    Before Jun Shiling could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan covered his mouth.

    With the nket moving, the faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan crawled out and wrapped around Jun Shiling''s nose, making his breathing heavier.

    Xia Wanyuan''s face was already red. Previously, in the pce, she was really prepared to be a real couple with Jun Shiling. At that time, Jun Shiling was especially resistant to being with her, so she took the initiative.

    Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would mention this at this moment?

    Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan''s palm. Xia Wanyuan was stunned by the kiss. At this moment, Jun Shiling turned off the light.<novelnext></novelnext>

    The spring breeze blew, and the peach blossoms outside the window swayed and danced slowly.

    The next day, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did not wake up until noon. The others were smart enough not to disturb the two of them.

    The manor was indeed peaceful, but the entire world was shaken by Xia Wanyuan''s return.

    The scene at the ceremony yesterday was recorded and posted online. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, who was no different from more than ten years ago and was still as noble and elegant as ever, the entire world was shocked.

    Xia Wanyuan''s current status in the world could be said to be the number one person in the entertainment industry.

    There were no restrictions on countries or regions. The headlines of all socialworks were:

    "Xia Wanyuan is back."

    Those already very popr television dramas and movies returned to the top of the rankings overnight. Almost everywhere they could see, they could see everyone discussing Xia Wanyuan.

    [ Oh my god, I only know that Xia Wanyuan is a world superstar, but I didn''t expect her to be so huge. This is unprecedented, right? ]

    [ Why does Xia Wanyuan look so young!!! Isn''t she almost forty?! F*ck, this face. I won''t doubt her at all if you say she''s sixteen. ]

    [Boohoo, our princess has finally returned after us waiting for so many years. The entire world is celebrating for you. I''m happy today. Weibo lucky draw!!! Sisters,e quickly!!]

    On the Inte, the media was discussing fervently, and the fans were celebrating. It was extremely lively.

    Although most people had never seen Xia Wanyuan before, at this moment, the joy of Xia Wanyuan''s return infected countless people.

    In the manor, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling finally dawdled out of bed. Just as they went downstairs, the butler sent an invitation.

 Chapter 1592 Obedient

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling could be said to be the most eye-catching couple in the world.

    Facing such poprity, the various program producers who chased after attention naturally could not let go of the huge news hot topic of Xia Wanyuan''s return. Hence, arge number of invitations were handed to Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan casually flipped through it. There were all sorts of programs.

    She had been away for so long. After returning, she should indeed ept a program for the fans who liked her as a return benefit for the fans.

    Xia Wanyuan took out one of the many invitations. "This, are you willing to go?"

    Jun Shiling nced at it. The person who had sent this invitation was very familiar. He was the director of the variety show that had filmed "We''re in Love" for them.

    This time, this director came again. The variety show he prepared was called "Our Family".

    Of course, Jun Shiling had no objections. He squeezed Xia Wanyuan''s hand. "Madam has already decided. How can I have any objections?"

    "Okay, this one then."

    Xia Wanyuan handed the invitation back to Uncle Wang. "Uncle Wang, please reply to the director."

    Uncle Wang had just left the living room when the sound of high heelsnding came from the door.

    "Wow!!" In the next second, a bright red figure pounced into Xia Wanyuan''s arms. An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan''s waist. "Yuan Yuan, you''re finally back!!!"

    Xia Wanyuan was also very happy to see An Rao again. She smiled. "Mm, are you okay??"

    "I''m fine. I just miss you very much." An Rao took half a step back and was about to say something when she suddenly screamed, "Why haven''t you changed at all!!"

    An Rao carefully touched Xia Wanyuan''s face. It was tight and smooth, no different from more than ten years ago. In fact, it was even more delicate. An Rao was shocked. "Have you secretly cultivated in the past ten years?"

    "You haven''t changed much either."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "As if!" An Rao held Xia Wanyuan''s arm. "I''m already much older. You don''t know that my demon king made me aged twenty years."

    Women, especially women who had not seen each other for more than ten years, had endless things to say when they met.

    Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao walked behind and consciously followed.

    You have to continue taking over the Jun Corporation." Bo Xiao turned to look at Jun Shiling. "Although Little Jun Yin has done well all these years, he''s still a little young. You need to take care of him again."

    "I know. I''ve already gotten Lin Jing to prepare the handover procedures." Jun Shiling nced at the stars on Bo Xiao''s clothes. "Congrattions on being promoted again."

    "Same to you."

    The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

    After many years of hardship, there was nothing better than seeing an old friend again and having the same feelings for each other, while both sides were happy.

    After not returning for so many years, Xia Wanyuan wanted to go to school and thepany. An Rao did not want to be separated from Xia Wanyuan at all and followed her around.

    In the manor, Little Xiaxia returned from school and was extremely disappointed not to see Xia Wanyuan.

    Her cheeks puffed up slightly. "Daddy must have taken Mommy away."

    "Little fool." Someone suddenly patted her head. Little Xiaxia looked up and met Bo Qingli''s smiling eyes.

    "Brother Qingli," Little Xiaxia called out obediently. Her almond-shaped eyes were round and bright, making Bo Qingli want to reach out and touch her again.

    "Tsk, looks like you''re very happy that Auntie Xia is back. You''re so obedient even when I call you little fool."

 Chapter 1593 Childhood Sweethearts

    At this moment, Bo Qingli lowered his head slightly, his fox-like eyes smiling.

    Little Xiaxia looked up. "Brother Qingli, other than being very happy that Mommy is back, there''s another thing I''m very happy about."

    "What?" Qingli''s smile widened. "Your dark-faced brother agreed to let you learn skiing?"

    "No." Little Xiaxia shook her head. "It''s because Daddy and Mommy are back, so I don''t have to leave the country anymore. I can still see Brother Qingli in the future. I''m very happy about this too."

    As soon as Little Xiaxia finished speaking, the smile on Bo Qingli''s face suddenly froze. He looked at Little Xiaxia quietly.

    Her bright eyes were pure and innocent.

    Bo Qingli knew what Little Xiaxia meant. She relied on him just like she relied on Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin.

    However, unwittingly, his heart was beating very quickly. He reached out to rub Little Xiaxia''s head. "You''re so sweet today. Brother will bring you to eat delicious food."

    "Okay!" Little Xiaxia was happy. She stood up and prepared to change before going out.

    However, she ignored that she had been squatting on the ground for a long time just now. At this moment, she did not have enough blood. Her vision darkened. After the world spun, she fell into a familiar embrace.

    "Brother Qingli, I''m dizzy." Little Xiaxia was used to being pampered. Now that she was dizzy and Bo Qingli was beside her, she wanted to bezy. "I don''t want to walk by myself. Brother Qingli, carry me in."

    Little Xiaxia was covering her head and did not notice that Bo Qingli''s expression froze, but he nodded. "Okay."

    Little Xiaxiay on Bo Qingli''s back and leaned her head on his shoulder very naturally. "Brother Qingli, you''ve grown taller."

    "Of course. You just realized that I''m as tall as your brother. I''m 185."

    ? "My brother is 186, so you''re even a little shorter than him." Little Xiaxia tried to regain Jun Yin''s dignity. "You''re so tall. No wonder you y basketball well. Last time, I heard from the people in your school that you have many girls obsessing over you. They all like you very much."<novelnext></novelnext>

    Hearing Little Xiaxia''s words, Bo Qingli''s first reaction was to exin, "They just like me unterally. I promised my father that I would never fall in love before my second year in university."

    Little Xiaxia was a little puzzled. "Why second year in university?? Didn''t you turn 18 in your first year??"

    Bo Qingli snorted softly. "Mind your own business."

    "Oh."

    Sensing the disappointment in Little Xiaxia''s tone, Bo Qingli could not help but exin, "Because I want to find a girlfriend who''s a year younger than me. When shees of age, I''ll only be 19 years old."

    Little Xiaxia did not feel that there was anything wrong at all. She nodded. "I see. Brother Qingli, good luck."

    "¡­" Helplessness shed across Bo Qingli''s eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words. "Forget it, you fool."

    "???" Little Xiaxia pinched Bo Qingli''s ear. "You''re the fool."

    Bo Qingli instantly stood rooted to the ground. His ears spread from the root until they werepletely red. He put Little Xiaxia down and scolded her fiercely.

    "If you touch me again, I won''t carry you in the future."

    "¡­ I''m sorry." Although Little Xiaxia felt that she had only pinched Bo Qingli''s ear and did not know how she had offended him, she still apologized immediately. "Then I''ll walk myself??"

    Looking at Little Xiaxia''s pure eyes, Bo Qingli''s expression changed again and again. In the end, he turned around. "Come up. Don''t move."

    "Okay! Brother Qingli, you''re the best!"

 Chapter 1594 - 1594 Youth is Back

    1594 Youth is Back

    Bo Qingli carried Little Xiaxia upstairs step by step, his beautiful eyes shining until he saw the invitation letter on Little Xiaxia¡¯s table.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Bo Qingli took it and flipped through it. Then, his expression darkened. ¡°You want to participate in a variety show, but why is it with the Qin family?? No.¡±

    That Qin Xiao from the Qin family looked sloppy. It was obvious that he was a flippant master. He would definitely lead Little Xiaxia astray. The more Bo Qingli thought about it, the angrier he became.

    ¡°Why not??¡± Little Xiaxia was a little puzzled. ¡°Brother Qin treats me quite well and often brings me-¡±

    !!

    Bo Qingli¡¯s expression had alreadypletely darkened. I knew that Qin Xiao had ulterior motives. ¡°He treats you as well as I do??¡±

    ¡°No¡­¡± To be honest, Little Xiaxia felt that Bo Qingli was the person who treated her the best other than her parents and brothers.

    ¡°Hmph, at least you have a conscience.¡± Bo Qingli snorted coldly. ¡°Anyway, you¡¯re not allowed to film the show with them.¡±

    ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter what I say. The director and the rest have already invited him.¡±

    Bo Qingli¡¯s expression changed a few times. In the end, he stood up and strode out. ¡°I have something on and have to leave first. Call me if you want to look for me.¡±

    At this moment, in a mall in Beijing, An Rao was bringing Xia Wanyuan to look at clothes.

    ¡°Yuan Yuan, you look good in this, and so does this!!!¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan was not back, An Rao hated shopping the most because there was no suitable person to apany her. However, now that Xia Wanyuan was back,

    The two of them could chat and look at clothes at the same time. An Rao was revived and it was not troublesome to pick more than ten sets of clothes for Xia Wanyuan.

    Just as she was filled with thoughts of choosing a good-looking belt for Xia Wanyuan, her phone rang.

    Seeing that it was Bo Qingli who had taken the initiative to call, An Rao felt a headache.

    Because under such circumstances, it usually meant that Bo Qingli had something to tell her.

    ¡°Son, speak.¡±

    ¡°My most beautiful mother.¡± Bo Qingli¡¯s smiling voice sounded on the other end of the line. ¡°You¡¯ve been spending so little time with me recently.¡±

    ¡°??? Get to the point.¡± A mother knew her son best. An Rao knew Bo Qingli too well.

    ¡°Do you know that Godmother and her family are going to participate in a variety show?? I heard that Best Actor Qin¡¯s wife is going to film the show together. Do you think Godmother will be good friends with her?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± An Rao instantly thought of Best Actor Qin¡¯s little wife, who speaks cutely. ¡°Impossible.¡±

    ¡°Mom, Godmother is such a good person, so powerful, and beautiful¡­¡±

    ¡°Alright, shut up. Let¡¯s go and film too.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Mommy. Have fun. Bye.¡± Having sessfully achieved his goal, Bo Qingli raised an eyebrow and decisively hung up.

    On the other end of the line, An Rao naturally knew that Bo Qingli was deliberately provoking her, but what Bo Qingli said made sense.

    Many people must want to snatch such a good friend like Xia Wanyuan. I have to sit firmly in the main pce!

    An Rao immediately informed her manager and asked him to help take on the show.

    The production team naturally epted this great thing that came knocking on their door.

    Soon, the news that Xia Wanyuan and An Rao were about to appear on the variety show together again spread crazily worldwide.

    To their old fans, it could be said that they had dreamed to more than ten years ago.

    ¡°Boohoo, my youth is back!!!¡±

 Chapter 1595 - 1595 Time

    1595 Time

    How popr was the news of Xia Wanyuan and An Rao bringing their family and children to a variety show? The moment the news was released, the Weibo tform copsed to the point where it could not be reconnected.

    In the past ten years, without the two popr bombs, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, the hair of the Weibo programmers finally obtained a chance to recuperate.

    However, ever since Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan returned, the status of the entire Weibo had been the cycle of trending topics exploding ¨C Weibo copsing ¨C programmer balding ¨C returning to normal ¨C trending topics exploding again ¨C copsing again ¨C balding again.

    Now, the news of Xia Wanyuan and An Rao had paralyzed the entire Weibo. The programmers said, ¡°Destroy it. I¡¯m already tired.¡±

    !!

    [ I¡¯m really so happy. Howl, howl, howl. It seems that ever since Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling disappeared, An Rao, Bo Xiao, and the rest rarely appear. I really want to know what those babies back then look like now. ]

    [ What¡¯s the most terrifying thing in the world? Your idol¡¯s child has definitely grown up, but you¡¯re still single. In the blink of an eye, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s child is already an adult, but I¡¯m still single. ]

    [When will it be broadcasted!!! I¡¯m already prepared. When the show is broadcasted, I definitely won¡¯t do anything but watch television hahahaha.]

    In the mall, Xia Wanyuan had tried on too many clothes. Before An Rao could look at the new ones, Xia Wanyuan stopped her in time. ¡°I still have to go to Beijing Universityter. I can¡¯t try on more clothes.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± An Rao was a little unsatisfied. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go home and wait for you first. Can you bring me to y games tonight? It¡¯s still the same as before. King of Glory. I¡¯m amazing now.¡±

    Hearing this name that seemed to be from a lifetime ago, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°It hasn¡¯t closed down?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± An Rao widened her eyes in surprise. ¡°This game has long been bought by your husband. It¡¯s impossible for it to close down because he got someone to make a permanent NPC in the game scene. That person is you. Any game can close down. I guess this game is impossible.¡±

    It had been too long since Xia Wanyuan had yed games. Hearing An Rao¡¯s words, she was a little surprised. ¡°What NPC? Show me.¡±

    An Rao turned on her phone and quickly started a game. Above the crystal tower stood a well-dressed figure. Although it was a virtual character model, Xia Wanyuan could tell that it was her.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled, clearly not expecting Jun Shiling to be so romantic in such ces.

    ¡°We agreed, Yuan Yuan.¡± An Rao hugged Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you tonight.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After bidding farewell to An Rao, Xia Wanyuan returned to Qing University.

    The Qing University campus did not change much from before. The only changes might be those people.

    A new group of students walked on the school road with youth.

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, everyone was extremely excited. They wanted to take photos but did not dare to. They wanted to greet Xia Wanyuan, but they were afraid that she would ignore them. In the end, Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to wave at them, immediately causing the students to scream.

    Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked towards the school building.

    When she stood at the door, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s gaze was attracted by the introductions of the professors on the wall.

    Those professors had worked with Xia Wanyuan more than ten years ago, but there was an additional date of passing in the mission introduction.

    Xia Wanyuan felt a little mncholic. Time had still taken away too many things.

 Chapter 1596 Public Display Of Love

    "Wanyuan." An old voice sounded behind her. Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw that it was the Principal of Qing University back then.

    When Xia Wanyuan left, the principal was in his prime. Now, he had white hair and looked much older.

    "Principal." Xia Wanyuan smiled and greeted the principal.

    "It''s good that you''re back." The old principal had already retired behind the scenes. He nodded, his eyes filled with relief. "Now that you''re back, the Qing University campus still needs you."

    "As long as Qing University still wants me, I''m naturally willing to continue teaching here."

    "Okay, do you want to walk??" After not seeing Xia Wanyuan for many years, the principal had many things to ask her.

    "Okay."

    Unfortunately, not long after the two of them walked out, the professors from the various departments who had already heard the news rushed over and surrounded Xia Wanyuan, asking about her situation.

    There were too many people, so the old principal could only take a step back and stand outside the team.

    However, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he was filled with relief.

    In his life, he had experienced everything he needed to experience. He had seen more than half of the people in his life, but what he liked the most was a junior like Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was so popr, the old principal was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

    It was difficult to reject the professors'' kindness. Xia Wanyuan strolled around the campus with them. It was only when night fell and they saw Jun Shiling, who hade to pick them up, that everyone finally parted ways with Xia Wanyuan reluctantly.

    "Professor Xia, remember toe to ss tomorrow."

    "Professor Xia, see you in the office tomorrow. I still have a few projects for you to help guide."

    ........

    Jun Shiling stood not far away and patiently waited for Xia Wanyuan to bid farewell to the others. When the crowd finally dispersed, Jun Shiling stepped forward and held Xia Wanyuan''s hand.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Professor Xia is so popr."

    Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling very well now. Although his tone was very normal, Xia Wanyuan nced at his gaze and felt that Jun Shiling was implying something.

    "What nonsense are you thinking about again??"

    Jun Shiling lowered his head and whispered into Xia Wanyuan''s ear, "Teacher Xia, I want to learn too. Teach me by example."

    The heat from Jun Shiling''s words spread to Xia Wanyuan''s ear, making her involuntarily shrink back. She looked at Jun Shiling angrily. "This is a school. What are you saying?"

    Jun Shiling stood up with a calm expression. "Madam, I just want to learn more. You''re thinking too much. Your thoughts are really impure."

    Xia Wanyuan could not do anything to Jun Shiling. She wanted to say something but could not. In the end, she snorted softly and turned to leave.

    Looking at Xia Wanyuan''s angry back, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling''s eyes. He took tworge steps forward and squatted in front of Xia Wanyuan. "Come up, I''ll carry you."

    Although it was night, there were still many people on campus. Xia Wanyuan looked around in embarrassment. "No, there are many people."

    How could Jun Shiling let her reject him? He went forward and picked her up. "What are you afraid of? We''re legal. Who dares tough at us?"

    It was not that Jun Shiling wanted to show off his love, but mainly because Xia Wanyuan was already wearing high heels today, and she had walked with the professors for the entire day during the day. Jun Shiling really did not want to see her walk by herself.

    There were too many people in school, and Jun Shiling was very eye-catching. Soon, he attracted arge number of curious gazes.

    Jun Shiling was very calm and walked forward as if no one was around. Xia Wanyuan''s face was a little hot, but Jun Shiling would definitely not let her go down. Xia Wanyuan could only bury her head in Jun Shiling''s arms and pretend to be asleep.

    Anyway, as long as she could not see anyone else, she would not feel embarrassed.

 Chapter 1597 Variety Show

    Even though Jun Shiling had already chosen a ce with fewer people to leave, his face would be the focus of everyone no matter where he was. Before Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked out of school, the news about the two of them had already swept through the Inte.

    It was the end of spring, and the peach blossoms in school were blooming. Jun Shiling, who was wearing a ck suit, carried Xia Wanyuan on the path. A breeze slowly blew past, blowing the petals on their shoulders. It was as beautiful as aic.

    [ Boohoo, I dream of this feeling from more than ten years ago. Why didn''t the two of them age? Time will not affect beauties and handsome men, right? ]

    [I''m so envious. They''ve been married for so many years, but their rtionship is still so good. I turned around and looked at my husband, who was sleeping soundly beside me. I kicked him.]

    [ When are you going to arrange the variety show? I can''t wait anymore. Director, hurry up!!! I''m still waiting to see them show off their love!!! ]

    Wave after wave of trending topics had already made the programmers who worked overtime overnight tired. Why did we have to work overtime while balding when others hugged their wives and admired the flowers?? Is this the difference between people?

    The temperature of spring was very good. Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan out of the school. The two of them did not return to the manor directly. Instead, they took advantage of the night and slowly strolled.

    It had been a long time since she had seen the prosperous lights of Beijing. Now that she saw them again, Xia Wanyuan sighed with emotion. "I''ve lived in ancient times for a long time. I''m still not used to seeing so many lights now."

    As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling did not respond. Xia Wanyuan turned to look. Jun Shiling, who had been beside her just now, had disappeared at some point.

    She looked around. Not far away, Jun Shiling walked over with the cake. "That cake shop is still there."

    With that, Jun Shiling opened the box. Inside was the red velvet cake that was now popr in the country. He fed Xia Wanyuan a mouthful with a spoon. The sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue, and Xia Wanyuan''s eyes curved up. "It''s delicious."

    "Really? I''ll try it too," Jun Shiling said and lowered his head, curling it around Xia Wanyuan''s lips.

    Under Xia Wanyuan''s angry gaze, Jun Shiling straightened his back. "It''s indeed very sweet."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Let''s go home. I won''t fool around with you anymore. I''m tired." The two of them stood there and attracted the attention of the entire street. The moment Jun Shiling kissed her, cheers sounded around them. Xia Wanyuan could not stand the feeling of being the center of attention here and turned to leave.

    Jun Shiling smiled helplessly and hurriedly followed.

    "Baby."

    "Shut up."

    "Madam."

    "¡­" Xia Wanyuan could only take two steps back and ce her hand in Jun Shiling''s palm before finally stopping him.

    Looking at their sped hands, Jun Shiling''s eyes were filled with smiles. He did not say anything else and quietly followed Xia Wanyuan away.

    ...

    Due to the audience''s strong cheers, the production team of the variety show worked overtime every day to prepare for filming. The photography team was all here, but everyone was in a dilemma during the variety show.

    ording to the usual variety show recording process, they were actually acting ording to the script. However, time was too tight and there was no time to replenish the script.

    In the end, the director pped the board. "What script? I think it''s very good to film it in the form of a documentary. Why would Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan, and the rest need a script? It''s already like a novel."

 Chapter 1598 - 1598 Variety Show Begins

    1598 Variety Show Begins

    Since the director had spoken, everyone did not have any worries. After choosing the filming location and organizing the staff, the variety show prepared to start filming.

    When the news spread, it caused another round of celebration.

    Compared to the joy on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side, the Lin family was silent.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the two of them won¡¯te back??¡± Lin Qingyuan looked at his subordinates in displeasure. ¡°Why are they back now?!¡±

    ¡°We did not notice any signs before they returned.¡±

    It was strange. Over the years, the Lin family had set up surveince points all over the world. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling seemed to have appeared out of nowhere without any signs.

    ¡°Could it be¡­¡± Lin Qingyuan frowned. ¡°Have they been in the dark all these years?? They appeared just as we were about to attack. Jun Shiling, you¡¯re actually so scheming.¡±

    ¡°Master, the second branch of the Jun family has beenpletely uprooted. We¡¯ve also been implicated greatly.¡± After all, in order to help the second branch rise, the Lin family had invested a lot of money. Now that the second branch of the Jun family had fallen, many of the Lin family¡¯s funds were trapped and could not be drawn out. It had a huge impact.

    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat to Jiangnan first.¡± Lin Qingyuan had always been cautious. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had returned too suddenly. He was worried that there was a trap and did not want to act rashly.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    In the dark night, a ne at the Beijing airport tore through the sky and flew towards Linxi City.

    The news of Lin Qingyuan leaving spread to Jun Shiling immediately.

    ¡°He left?¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling nodded. ¡°He went to Linxi.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good that he left.¡± Xia Wanyuan was not surprised by this news. ¡°Just send someone to keep an eye on him.¡±

    ¡°Jiangnan also needs the Lin family,¡± Jun Shiling said as he folded his clothes.

    Unlike many people in the outside world, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had never thought of making the Jun family the only one at the top. Any domineering family would definitely fall off the altar and be eaten by everyone in the end.

    Only by resisting each other could they maintain a delicate bnce and not be destroyed by thecency in their families.

    The best way to deal with the Lin family was to let them return to Jiangnan. This way, they could restrain each other and control each other.

    Xia Wanyuan agreed with Jun Shiling. ¡°Wei Jin and the rest are also in Jiangnan, so we don¡¯t have to worry especially about the Lin family.¡±

    ¡°You have to bring this dress too??¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s gaze shifted slightly and suddenlynded on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand.

    Xia Wanyuan looked down and realized that she had unknowingly taken a revealing dress. Xia Wanyuan had never bought such a design. An Rao had probably secretly stuffed it in again.

    Xia Wanyuan stuffed the dress into the cab. ¡°Sleep.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Jun Shiling¡¯s eyes flickered as he slowly walked up to Xia Wanyuan. ¡°I want to see it. Wear it for me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡±

    Another night of spring breeze.

    The next day, the production team who were recording the variety show had already arrived. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan still did not get up.

    The audience shouted for the butler to quickly wake Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan up, but soon, they were not so anxious.

    Because in the camera, extremely handsome and beautiful children appeared.

    Jun Yin was dressed in a ck suit, looking like a replica of Jun Shiling. Jun Jiajin, who was wearing a white shirt, seemed to have ink in his eyes. He was elegant and indifferent, and the most attractive person was Little Xiaxia, who was walking between the two of them.

    It had been more than ten years since theyst met. The youngdy from back then already had a beautiful appearance. Her bright eyes were filled with thousands of stars.

 Chapter 1599 - 1599 Different Aura

    1599 Different Aura

    Little Xiaxia woke up early today and was still a little sleepy. She yawned and her beautiful eyes were covered in ayer of tears. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m sleepy.¡±

    ¡°I told you long ago to have a regr schedule. The next time youe back, I have to confiscate your tablet. You¡¯re not allowed to y games at night.¡± Jun Yin scolded Little Xiaxia very seriously with a straight face.

    ¡°Ow.¡± Little Xiaxia shrank her head and hid behind Jun Jiajin. ¡°Second Brother, Big Brother is fierce to me again.¡±

    Jun Jiajin smiled gently. He was a gentleman. ¡°Big Brother is concerned about you. He¡¯s afraid you¡¯ll damage your vision.¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Little Xiaxia hugged Jun Jiajin¡¯s arm and tried to change the topic. ¡°Why aren¡¯t Daddy and Mommy awake yet? What time is it??¡±

    [ Ahhh, what kind of godly family is this? May I ask what secret is there to maintaining the Jun family¡¯s genes?? How can a man be handsome and a woman be beautiful? The cute child back then is already a young man who can charm Auntie!!! ]

    [ CEO Jun, I can¡¯t think of you anymore. Jun Yin, I can!! It¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re the next domineering CEO! A woman is three years older than you. Brother,e into Sister¡¯s arms. ]

    [ If you take Jun Yin away, I¡¯ll take Jun Jiajin away. This kind of fairy-like and elegant boy simply satisfied all my fantasies about a gentleman. Can Xia Wanyuan announce the recipe for her pregnancy? What did she eat to give birth to such a child? ]

    Before the show officially began filming, the variety show live-stream had already be extremely popr.

    Just as everyone was discussing, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan finally appeared upstairs.

    Xia Wanyuan looked a little tired, but she could not hide the elegance from her bones.

    The director instructed the camera to approach Xia Wanyuan a little closer. Under the highest-definition camera, Xia Wanyuan¡¯s skin was wless, just like more than ten years ago. There was no change at all.

    Not to mention the audience, even the director was especially curious. How did Xia Wanyuan take care of herself? She was getting younger and younger??

    Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Little Xiaxia was overjoyed. She ran towards Xia Wanyuan and hugged her arm. ¡°Mommy, Brother is fierce to me.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan patted Little Xiaxia¡¯s head. ¡°If youin blindly, your brother won¡¯t dote on you anymore.¡±

    Little Xiaxia stuck out her tongue mischievously. ¡°Hehe.¡±

    When Xia Wanyuan was standing alone just now, it was not that obvious. Now that she was standing with Little Xia Xia, no one would think that Xia Wanyuan was actually Little Xia Xia¡¯s mother. The two of them were more like peers.

    [ I beg Xia Wanyuan to reveal her beauty secret. How did she be so young??? ]

    [ Good lord, did time stop on Xia Wanyuan¡¯s face? Why do I feel that she hasn¡¯t aged at all? When I chased her, I was still a youngdy. Now that I have a child, she still looks exactly the same as before. ]

    Just as everyone was constantly marveling at Xia Wanyuan¡¯s beauty, An Rao and her family came over.

    Seeing Bo Qingli, Little Xiaxia ran towards him happily. Bo Qingli¡¯s fox-like eyes, which were almost identical to Bo Xiao¡¯s, instantly smiled.

    He reached out and ced his hand on Little Xiaxia¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t pounce on me casually. Your brother injured his waist yesterday. Do you want me to have a second fracture?¡±

    ¡°Brother Qingli.¡± Hearing Bo Qingli¡¯s words, worry shed across Little Xiaxia¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Bo Qingli took out a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers from behind. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that this looked good on the spring outing in the suburbsst time? I picked it on the mountain yesterday. It looks good, right?¡±

    Little Xiaxia took the wildflower in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s beautiful!¡±

    On the camera, countless viewers were extremely excited. I seemed to have smelled something different!!

 Chapter 1600 Fight

    Seeing that Little Xiaxia liked this flower, Bo Qingli''s fox-like eyes revealed a deeper smile. "When we finish filming the variety show, I''ll bring you over to pick it."

    "Okay." Little Xiaxia smiled until her eyes curved into crescents, brighter than the spring sun.

    [ Is this Bo Xiao''s son!! Oh my god, how many women will have their hearts stolen when he grows up? ]

    [ Help, this child''s name is Bo Qingli, right? I actually have improper thoughts about an underage child. I''m guilty. I''ll face the wall and reflect. ]

    [ I don''t have any thoughts about Bo Qingli. I especially have thoughts about Bo Qingli and Little Xiaxia. I really think they''re sopatible. If Bo Qingli doesn''t like Little Xiaxia, I''ll eat that upside down. ]

    Just as everyone was shouting that Little Xiaxia and Bo Qingli were verypatible, another car slowly drove in from outside the manor.

    "Hello, everyone." A couple got out of the car. It was Best Actor Qin and his wife. Behind them was a very handsome young man.

    The young man was wearing a white shirt. At a nce, one could tell that he must be the most perfect ss type in the hearts of all high school girls.

    Seeing Little Xiaxia, the corners of Qin Lang''s lips curled up. However, he still followed his parents and greeted Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan first.

    After seeing all the adults, Qin Lang stood in front of Little Xiaxia. "Hello, Xiaxia. It''s been a while."

    Qin Lang had a good personality and was usually very patient with Little Xiaxia. Little Xiaxia was also very polite to him. "Hello, Brother Qin Lang. Didn''t you speak on the rostrumst week?? I saw you, but you didn''t see me."

    A smile appeared on Qin Lang''s handsome face. "The script I readst week wasn''t very good."

    "No, you always get full marks for your essay. Our teacher reads your essay to us every day." Speaking of this, Little Xiaxia was a little worried. Her results were not bad, but the people around her were each more heaven-defying than the other, causing her to feel pressured.

    "I''ll teach you." Little Xiaxia looked especially lovable when she was worried. Qin Lang stopped his thoughts of rubbing Little Xiaxia''s head.

    "Then¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>

    Little Xiaxia was about to agree when Bo Qingli suddenly stood between her and Qin Lang.

    His fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. "Isn''t it just an essay? I''ll teach her."

    ? All the adults standing at the side could see through people''s hearts. Bo Qingli and Qin Lang''s actions were undoubtedly exposing their youthful feelings to everyone.

    "Bo Qingli,e here," An Rao shouted, pulling Bo Qingli back to her side and secretly reprimanding him. "Don''t mess around. You didn''t even pass yourst essay."

    Bo Qingli listened to An Rao''s reprimand, but his gazended on Qin Lang with obvious hostility.

    Little Xiaxia knew that Bo Qingli''s results had never been good. She thought that Bo Qingli was unhappy that she was talking to Qin Lang about this, so she shook her head. "No need. Brother Qingli bought me an essayst time. I''ll memorize it more."

    With that, Little Xiaxia leaned towards Bo Qingli and gently pulled his sleeve. "Brother Qingli, you''re my best friend. Don''t be jealous."

    Sensing a slight movement on his sleeve, Bo Qingli''s eyebrows twitched. "Ignore him during the recording of the show."

    Little Xiaxia cared a lot about Bo Qingli, but how could the sister raised by Jun Yin and Jun Jiajin be so insensible? She frowned slightly. "That''s rude. Brother Qin Lang treats me quite well."

    Bo Qingli exhaled deeply. "Then you''re not allowed to take the initiative to look for him. Is that okay?"

    "Okay, I promise you." Little Xiaxia smiled at Bo Qingli, revealing two shallow dimples. "Then will you still bring me to pick flowers?"

    Bo Qingliughed in anger and squeezed out, "Of course. The entire mountain is yours."

    Not far away, Qin Lang stood behind his parents and watched Bo Qingli and Little Xiaxia interact as if no one was around. A hint of bitterness appeared in his heart.

 Chapter 1601 Feeling Like First Love

    The adults present had experienced it before, so how could they not tell what the young man was thinking?

    However, considering that they were not adults yet, the director gave the photographer a look. The photographer immediately switched the camera to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, trying to divert everyone''s attention.

    The camera was aimed at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, but the two of them were already immersed in their own world and did not care what the film crew was doing.

    Perhaps because she was fused with the memories of two lifetimes, the current Xia Wanyuan''s personality had changed slightlypared to before. Although it was very small, as the person closest to her, Jun Shiling felt it the most.

    Because of Jun Shiling''s help, the establishment of the new Great Xia Dynasty was much easier than before.

    This time, Xia Wanyuan did not need to go through more than ten years of bitter battles or work hard to deal with the variousrge factions. After the Great Xia Dynasty was established, Jun Shiling had already helped her draw up aplete governance n. There was no need for Xia Wanyuan to explore step by step.

    Hence, strictly speaking, the current Xia Wanyuan was actually younger than before, in terms of her mental age.

    Although she was already a mother, she still had the delicate look of a young princess in her previous life.

    When she faced Jun Shiling, she had the familiar feeling of an old couple, but she also had a hint of shyness.

    Now, Jun Shiling was helping Xia Wanyuan adjust her clothes when he identally touched the tassel flower earrings on her ears. A smile spread across Jun Shiling''s eyes. "You look so good today."

    It was spring, and Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing an apricot-white dress, reminded Jun Shiling of the first time he saw her.

    At that time, Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the flowery garden. The spring sun shone gently on her. The moment Xia Wanyuan looked up, Jun Shiling was actually charming.

    Hearing Jun Shiling''s praise, Xia Wanyuan''s ears turned red. Compared to the white earrings, the red color was even more eye-catching. She nced at the camera beside her. "We''re filming."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "I registered my marriage. The child is already an adult. Can''t I praise my wife for being good-looking??" Jun Shiling was righteous. He even leaned over and pecked Xia Wanyuan''s red ear.

    Jun Shiling had wanted to do this since he left the house.

    Xia Wanyuan secretly pinched Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Let''s go to the filming location first and let them follow us themselves."

    With that, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out and ignored the children behind him.

    Jun Yin touched his chin helplessly. My parents'' rtionship was too good. Sometimes, it was a more vexing thing.

    He looked at the others. "Let''s go too."

    Although Jun Yin was young, he was already quite convincing. The moment he spoke, the director could only follow his words. "Okay, okay, okay. Then let''s pack up and prepare to get on the ne. Everyone can rest for a while on the ne."

    Thinking about it carefully, it had been a long time since Xia Wanyuan hade into contact with modern society. Although she still had some memories in her mind, many years of estrangement had long turned these into dream-like illusions.

    Hence, now, Xia Wanyuan was very interested in everything around her, just like when she first entered this world.

    The only difference was that when she first entered the world, Xia Wanyuan was alone.

    And now, with Jun Shiling apanying her, she learned about this familiar and unfamiliar world again.

 Chapter 1602 - 1602 Wedding Preparations

    1602 Wedding Preparations

    On the ne, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sat together. The others had their own barrier with them.

    It had been too long since she had taken a ne. Xia Wanyuan was a little dizzy now. She leaned into Jun Shiling¡¯s arms and rested. The sunlight passed through the window and imprinted the golden dots between Xia Wanyuan¡¯s curled eyshes, shining.

    As Jun Shiling watched, he lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan gently.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed themotion and opened her eyes slightly. Meeting Jun Shiling¡¯s gentle eyes, Xia Wanyuan smiled shyly.

    Under the sunlight, their side profiles seemed to be gilded with golden gentleness. Even without any filters, the scene of the two of them appearing together was extremely beautiful.

    [ It¡¯s precisely because I chased Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling¡¯s couple when I was young and ignorant that I¡¯m still single until now. I feel that I¡¯ll never meet love like them. ]

    [ The person in front, can you not push the me?? Even if I give you such a perfect Jun Shiling, it¡¯s impossible for him to like you. I can¡¯t imagine it. If Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan aren¡¯t together, who can be worthy of each other? ]

    [ Thinking carefully, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling have never held a wedding, right? I wonder if the two of them are still preparing to hold a wedding. Although I won¡¯t be able to be the wife of the richest man in my life, I want to see what the wedding of the richest man is like. ]

    [ I¡¯m from Beijing¡­ I want to say that many strange things have happened in Beijing recently. We¡¯re all guessing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan might be holding a wedding after the variety show is filmed. ]

    Ever since Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left Beijing, the entire capital had been half-sealed.

    The streets were fluttering with red silk, and the environmental trees were filled with all sorts of rednterns. The flowers in the country were in a broken state, and an endless stream of flowers was transported to Beijing from all over the world.

    At the same time, invitations were sent all over the world, and the security situation in Beijing rapidly increased.

    This was because those who knew the inside story knew that in the near future, the entire Beijing would wee a world-ss meeting.

    The preparations for the wedding in Beijing were progressing in an orderly manner, but Xia Wanyuan¡¯s side was kept very secret. Although the two of them had discussed the wedding, Xia Wanyuan felt that there were still many things to deal with after returning. The wedding would definitely not be held in the short term.

    She leaned on Jun Shiling¡¯s shoulder and looked at the destination that was gradually approaching. ¡°Shall we hold a wedding next year?¡±

    ¡°Mm,¡± Jun Shiling replied. ¡°It¡¯s all up to you.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan yawned. At that moment, the ne had already begun to descend. Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. ¡°When we arrive, let¡¯s eat rice noodles first. The rice noodles here taste good.¡±

    The corners of the director¡¯s lips twitched silently. He thought to himself, As expected, no one takes me, the director, seriously. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t prepare any variety show scripts when preparing for the show. Otherwise, even if I did, it would be a waste now. This is because no one treats this filming as a variety show. Everyone is more like here for a collective vacation.

    When the nended, the director¡¯s thoughts became even stronger.

    Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan away. Bo Xiao brought An Rao to see the ce where he had once been stationed. In the blink of an eye, the children floated out of the camera and went somewhere to y.

    Looking at the empty camera, the director wanted to cry but had no tears. It was too difficult. This program was too difficult.

    However, what he did not expect was that the more the guests let go, the higher the viewership ratings of the show soared.

    [ Director, charge!! Secretly take photos of the two of them eating for us!! We¡¯re not picky!! I like to see the daily Xia Wanyuan too much. Why do I feel so soft? ]

    [ I like to watch daily shows. The other variety shows are too boring. It¡¯s obvious that they¡¯re acting. It¡¯s boring. Although the guests of this variety show are willful and there¡¯s enough dog food, I like to watch it. I¡¯m even willing to watch Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan eat rice noodles here for ten years!! ]

 Chapter 1603 - 1603 Proposal

    1603 Proposal

    It was more like a tourist documentary than a variety show.

    It had been too long since she had interacted with all sorts of modern culture and geography. Xia Wanyuan was very interested in everything. Jun Shiling apanied her to eat and drink as they walked past the mountains and rivers of the town.

    Under the lush bamboo, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sat opposite each other. Between theyers of mountains, Jun Shiling apanied Xia Wanyuan to drink tea by the stream. On the flowery path, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a small flower wreath and was carried by Jun Shiling.

    [ I saw a god¡­ I suddenly feel that the plot of the novel is nothing much. I love Xia Wanyuan too much. Boohoo. ]

    [This is the real happy person. Drunk in the mortal world together, sharing the mountains and rivers. F*ck, when can I meet such love?]

    [ Although you say it¡¯s a variety show, in my opinion, this is the best love movie. I¡¯ve seen so many love movies, but they aren¡¯t as moving as Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan¡¯s daily life. ]

    At this moment, on the mountain path, all sorts of flowers were blooming. Xia Wanyuan liked this scenery very much and pulled Jun Shiling to watch it with her, but Jun Shiling looked a little distracted.

    After Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling twice but he did not agree, Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong??¡±

    Only then did Jun Shiling look at Xia Wanyuan awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    The doubts in Xia Wanyuan¡¯s eyes intensified. She looked down and met Jun Shiling¡¯s hand behind her. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you holding my hand?¡±

    Usually, as long as she went out, Jun Shiling would definitely hold her hand immediately without Xia Wanyuan¡¯s reminder. However, today, from the moment she went up the mountain, Jun Shiling had been a little strange. Not only did he not hold her hand, but he had also been distracted.

    Xia Wanyuan could not help but be suspicious. ¡°Did something happen to thepany?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Jun Shiling shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Let¡¯s go higher.¡±

    With that, Jun Shiling reached out to hold Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hand. The moment their hands touched, Xia Wanyuan could feel that Jun Shiling¡¯s palm was sweating.

    Xia Wanyuan¡¯s hesitation deepened. She looked behind her. ¡°Where did the children go??¡±

    ¡°Why do you care about them??¡± Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and walked up. ¡°They¡¯re not three-year-old children. How can they get lost??¡±

    Since Jun Shiling had said so, Xia Wanyuan did not ask further and followed Jun Shiling up the mountain.

    It was almost evening and the sun was setting. Everything in the mountains was covered in a faint pink-purple color that was extremely beautiful.

    Xia Wanyuan looked around. Caught off guard, a strip of cloth covered her eyes and turned them ck.

    Xia Wanyuan reached out to pull it down, but Jun Shiling stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Wait for me for a while.¡±

    Xia Wanyuan stopped and waited on the spot. About a minuteter, the cloth in front of her was pulled away and she was shocked by the surrounding scene.

    At this moment, the two of them were standing in a valley surrounded by towering mountains. The mountain that was originally covered in vegetation was now red.

    The red roses that covered the mountains and ins almost dyed the sky red. Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling took out a small box nervously and knelt on one knee.

    ¡°In front of everyone, I want to ask you, will you marry me?¡±

    This was a proposal that was very, veryte.

 Chapter 1604 Exchanging Heartfelt Thoughts

    The mountains were filled with red roses, almost dyeing the diamonds red.

    Jun Shiling knelt in front of her and looked straight at Xia Wanyuan.

    Under his gaze, Xia Wanyuan began to feel nervous.

    They had clearly been husband and wife for so many years, but Jun Shiling had indeed never officially proposed to her.

    "Will you?" Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with watery eyes. The gentle light that filled the sky was contained.

    "You know how much I love you, but I want to tell you that there''s more than you can imagine. I can live and die for you, cross time for you. I''ll be wherever you are."

    Others might not understand what Jun Shiling meant, but Xia Wanyuan could.

    What Jun Shiling said was not an oath, but a statement.

    He had really done everything.

    Xia Wanyuan''s eyes turned red. "Mm, I do. I love you very much too."

    Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and held Jun Shiling''s hand. "I will marry you."

    The corners of Jun Shiling''s lips curled up as he put the ring on Xia Wanyuan''s hand. "With this promise, we''ll be together forever."

    Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling''s hand. "Mm."

    If that person was Jun Shiling, she was willing to spend the rest of her life with him.

    The others stood not far away and looked over from afar with mixed feelings.

    An Rao hugged Bo Xiao''s arm. "I''m going to cry. Boohoo."

    Only they, who had been following Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, knew how difficult it had been for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Bo Xiao pulled An Rao into his arms and patted her shoulderfortingly. "Alright, let''s go first and give the couple some time."

    After everyone left, only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were left in the entire valley.

    The photographer and director consciously removed the camera and released time and space.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Although the audience could not see the scene in the valley now, the scene just now had already left an indelible impression in the hearts of the people who had witnessed this proposal.

    [Boohoo, I''m young!!! Finally!! When are you holding the wedding? Can you start a live broadcast? I want to tip the gift money.]

    [ Help, CEO Jun is still CEO Jun. It''s so romantic. The domineering CEO in novels is nothing much. ]

    [I''m really envious. CEO Jun and Yuan Yuan have finally achieved sess. Marriage! Arrange a wedding!]

    Instantly, the topic of "Jun Shiling proposing to Xia Wanyuan" swept through all the social rankings in the world and dominated them for many days.

    The night deepened, and Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked down the mountain. This border town would hold a Lantern Festival in spring, and tonight was just in time for the annual Lantern Festival.

    The lights flickered. Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked under the heavynterns.

    The two of them were talking when Xia Wanyuan suddenly sensed something. She looked up.

    Not far away, Xuan Sheng was standing in the shadows of the lights and looking at her with a smile.

    After not seeing him for many years, Xuan Sheng''s appearance had not changed much. His eyes had darkened.

    "Good evening." Xuan Sheng nodded at Xia Wanyuan. "Long time no see."

    Jun Shiling saw Xuan Sheng too. He turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. "I''ll wait for you by the bridge."

    Xia Wanyuan nodded. "Okay."

    After Jun Shiling left, Xia Wanyuan walked up to Xuan Sheng. "Shall we walk together?"

    "Okay."

    Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan walked forward side by side. Xuan Sheng asionally turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. "I specially came to look for you."

    "Is there something you want to tell me?" As time passed, Xia Wanyuan could feel that Xuan Sheng''s gaze was less passionate than before.

    "I came to look at you." Xuan Sheng smiled faintly. "I''m relieved to see you return safely."

 Chapter 1605 Redemption

    Hearing Xuan Sheng''s words, Xia Wanyuan''s heart ached.

    During the time she was gone, Xuan Sheng''s pain was probably not less than others.

    "I''m sorry." Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and finally said this.

    Xia Wanyuan had never known what to say to Xuan Sheng.

    "Why are you apologizing to me?" Xuan Sheng smiled. "You''re not the one who forced me to like you. You don''t owe me. On the contrary, you brought me many things."

    Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Xuan Sheng liking Xia Wanyuan was a fruitless love.

    However, ever since he was young, Xuan Sheng had only felt ruthlessness and darkness. It was Xia Wanyuan who had allowed him to touch the other side of the world and asionally see some of the beauty the world had given him.

    Compared to the love and admiration Xia Wanyuan had brought him, that redemption with light was much more important in Xuan Sheng''s heart.

    Xia Wanyuan knew what Xuan Sheng meant. She sighed in her heart. "Have you been well all these years?"

    Xuan Sheng nodded. "Not bad. I can eat and drink."

    "Where''s Lu Li?" Back then, when Lu Li defected, she seemed to have disappeared from this world and never appeared again.

    Speaking of Lu Li, Xuan Sheng''s eyes flickered.

    Xia Wanyuan sensed the change in Xuan Sheng''s expression and was a little puzzled. "You saw her again?"

    Xuan Sheng smiled bitterly. "No, I haven''t seen her again."

    "Okay."

    "It''ste. Go back early." A real smile appeared in Xuan Sheng''s eyes. "Remember to give me an invitation when you get married."<novelnext></novelnext>

    "Okay."

    After the two of them bade each other farewell, Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng and walked towards Jun Shiling on the bridge.

    Xuan Sheng stood at the entrance of the street and watched Xia Wanyuan leave from afar. Only when she and Jun Shilingpletely disappeared from his sight did Xuan Sheng turn around and walk back.

    He had wasted some time chatting with Xia Wanyuan. In addition, he had been thinking about something on the way back, causing Xuan Sheng to arrive at the hotel two hourster than usual.

    At the entrance of the hotel, a slender woman with a mask was looking into the distance anxiously. When she saw Xuan Sheng, the woman seemed to have finally rxed.

    Xuan Sheng walked over and naturally hugged the woman''s shoulder. "Why are you outside?"

    "I saw that you took a while toe back." The woman resisted Xuan Sheng''s approach. She subconsciously avoided Xuan Sheng''s actions and walked to his side. "Have you seen Miss Xia?"

    Xuan Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "You know that I went to see her?"

    "That''s easy to guess, right?" The woman smiled faintly. "Is Miss Xia okay?"

    Xuan Sheng''s eyes flickered. "Are you very concerned about her?"

    "I used to like her television drama very much. I heard that she disappeared for a long time. If you mind me asking, you don''t have to answer my question."

    "No." Xuan Sheng smiled. "She''s quite good now. Jun Shiling just proposed to her. She''s very happy."

    "That''s good." The woman lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes. "That''s good."

    Looking at the woman''s actions, Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes. "Let''s go in. You can''t stand the wind too much, and you should be hungry."

    "Okay." The woman nodded. Although her face was covered by a veil, one could feel that the way she looked at Xuan Sheng was extremely gentle and restrained.

 Chapter 1606 Persistence

    Xuan Sheng reached out to hold the woman''s hand, but the woman dodged him.

    "Don''t be like this." The woman forced a smile at Xuan Sheng. "I know my status very well. CEO Xuan, you don''t have to pity me."

    Hearing the woman''s words, Xuan Sheng suddenly turned around and looked at the woman at an extremely close distance.

    Caught off guard, she met Xuan Sheng''s deep gaze. The woman''s breathing stopped and obvious panic shed across her eyes.

    "It''s been so long, but you''re still unwilling to tell me your name." Xuan Sheng smiled. "Why? Is your name so precious?"

    "Didn''t I already say that my name is Sheng Yi?"

    "I''ve checked. That''s not your real name." Xuan Sheng''s eyes darkened. "When will you be willing to tell me your real name??"

    Sheng Yi looked up at Xuan Sheng''s face and her heart ached. At that moment, she could barely hold back her emotions, but her strong restraint from so many years stopped her. "My name is Sheng Yi."

    "Mm." Xuan Sheng took a step back. "I understand. Let''s not talk about this anymore. What do you want to eat?"

    "Anything is fine."

    "Okay, seeing that you like to eat fish, I''ll get the chef to make steamed fish and send it over today."

    The two of them chatted as they walked in. Xuan Sheng did not hide his rtionship with the woman at all and openly held her arm.

    Seeing this scene, everyone was already used to it.

    After all, in the past ten years, everyone had seen too much. From the initial shock to the current calmness, they could alreadypletely ept this scene.

    Almost everyone knew that more than ten years ago, there was a woman with 100% disability beside Xuan Sheng. That woman had undergone hundreds of surgeries, big and small. Everyone in the medical industry knew that there was no hope of recovering from such a serious injury. This woman had to live with scars that covered her entire body for the rest of her life.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Initially, everyone thought that Xuan Sheng had brought the woman around to seek treatment out of kindness.

    However,ter on, every year, Xuan Sheng would propose to this woman once in public.

    The first time he proposed to a woman was at Glory World Corporation''s annual meeting. Xuan Sheng took the diamond ring and knelt on one knee to the woman in the ck robe. The woman fled.

    Back then, this matter had actually upied the trending list for an entire month. It could be seen how shocked theizens in the country were.

    Later on, as Xuan Sheng proposed more and more times, everyone got used to it. Their attitudes gradually changed from shock to blessings.

    After all, it was no exaggeration to say that a man like Xuan Sheng was worthy of any woman in the world. However, he had brought a woman in a ck robe with him for more than ten years and had never despised her at all.

    This sincerity touched thousands ofizens.

    Now, seeing Xuan Sheng speak softly and patiently to the woman, countless envious and jealous gazesnded on the woman.

    Sensing everyone''splicated gazes, the woman sighed softly. "It''s been more than ten years. Why must you guard a broken person like me? CEO Xuan, you should have a better choice."

    Xuan Sheng turned around and looked at her. He said meaningfully, "Do you know why I''m so persistent and insistent?"

    "Why??"

    "Because there was once a person who taught me what perseverance and persistence are."

    "Is it Miss Xia?"

    "No." Xuan Sheng smiled. "She''s a very brave and silly girl."

 Chapter 1607 Group Escape

    Hearing Xuan Sheng''s words, Sheng Yi''s heart skipped a beat. She stared into Xuan Sheng''s eyes. After a while, she suddenly said, "CEO Xuan, your liking has never changed."

    There was no way to hide the look in his eyes when he liked someone. Even though Xia Wanyuan had disappeared for so many years, Xuan Sheng''s eyes lit up when he heard her name.

    She was not stupid. How could she not feel it?

    Xuan Sheng did not deny it. He smiled. "I like her. From the first time I saw her, I liked her. She''s irreceable."

    "Then why?" Perhaps because she already knew this fact, Sheng Yi''s heart did not fluctuate when she heard Xuan Sheng say this.

    "Because I want to protect you." Xuan Sheng looked into Sheng Yi''s eyes. "Don''t you want to stay by my side forever?"

    Xuan Sheng''s words pierced through the countless defenses in Sheng Yi''s heart. She hesitated for a long time before nodding. "Yes."

    "Look, I have Xia Wanyuan in my heart, and it''s impossible for me to marry anyone else. Even if you do me a favor and upy this position, can''t you??" Xuan Sheng looked straight at Sheng Yi. "How about it? Think about it??"

    After rejecting Xuan Sheng for more than ten years, Sheng Yi finally hesitated. "I''ll think about it again."

    "Okay." Xuan Sheng''s peach blossom eyes curled up. "I''ll wait for you."

    On the other hand, in the city, the production team of the variety show sat collectively on the small bridge with depressed expressions.

    "Director, An Rao and her family went to eat hotpot. They said they were going to watch the Lantern Festival tonight."

    "Director, those children went hiking and camping. They''re too energetic. Our photographer is going to be crippled."

    "Director, most importantly, I don''t know where Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went. We lost them."

    Listening to the photographers''ints, the director scratched his head.<novelnext></novelnext>

    There were more and more viewers watching the variety show, but the show was getting more and more unbearable. Ny percent of the viewers who came to watch this variety show were here for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. Now that the protagonist was missing, what was there to record?

    Just as the director was about to pack up and carry the camera home, his phone suddenly rang. A message appeared on his phone.

    ? The director took a nce and jumped up excitedly. Because his actions were too fierce, he even kicked the most expensive camera in the team into theke.

    The staff was shocked. "Director?? What''s wrong??"

    The director waved his hand and stopped the staff who wanted to go into the water to fish for the camera. "Buy tickets and return to Beijing with me immediately. Why are you fishing for the camera? We''re going to do something big soon. When the timees, we can even afford 100 cameras, let alone one."

    With that, the director left in a hurry. Everyone looked at each other and finally followed the director.

    "Didn''t the director sayst night that the new camera was his baby?? Wasn''t our director the one who slept with the camerast night??"

    "We don''t know either, and we don''t dare to ask. Let''s go quickly. I''ve never seen the director so excited. In the blink of an eye, we can''t see him."

    Although the guests were scattered everywhere, the live-stream had always been open to the public. Seeing the director and staff run away collectively, theizens watching the live-stream were stunned.

    What happened???

    While the entire Inte was looking for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, some people living in Beijing began to gradually sense that something was wrong.

    Overnight, the appearance of the entire city seemed to have changed.

    There was an obvious red color everywhere.

 Chapter 1608 Wedding Scene

    Just as everyone sensed that something was wrong, the live-stream that had been interrupted for a day and night was finally connected again.

    The moment the live-stream opened, everyone was dazzled by the roses on the screen.

    As far as the eye could see, it was filled with bright red roses that gathered into a red sea. In the deepest part of the scene, countless red silk gs embroidered with phoenixes'' necks were fluttering in the wind.

    The audience was stunned. "Holy sh*t, weren''t we in Yunnan before? Where are we now??"

    Just as thements were filled with questions, the director, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared.

    "Hello, are you curious where we are??? Let me keep you in suspense and give you a hint." With that, the director instructed the photographer to point the camera at the decorations in the distance.

    In the camera, everyone could see that on a huge silk curtain, two people in ancient clothes were embroidered with golden threads walking side by side. With just their backs, one could see their peerless elegance.

    [What does this mean?? Why don''t I understand? Is there a god who understands and can exin to me?]

    [ I think I have an immature idea. Look at that woman''s back. Doesn''t she look like thest scene in Xia Wanyuan''s "Eldest Princess" movie?? The two of them are wearing ancient clothes. I really can''t recognize them, but I have a strange intuition that says¡­ ]

    [ F*ck, the person in front, now that you mention it, I think she looks very familiar too. She seems to really be Xia Wanyuan. Isn''t the person who can stand beside Xia Wanyuan CEO Jun??? Let me make a bold guess!!! Are Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan getting married!!! ]

    Once thoughts appeared, they would grow crazily like grass in spring. The trending topic "Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s Wedding" immediately rushed to the top of the trending list like a rocket.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Looking at the server that had copsed again, the programmers were already quite calm. They could even leisurely make a cup of coffee, press their feet, and slowly deal with the server problem.

    After such a long time, the programmers werepletely t because they realized that no matter how hard they tried to expand the server, as long as the news of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan was exposed, the server would definitely copse.

    In that case, what was there to repair?? Let nature take its course.

    On Weibo, everyone was so anxious by this shocking topic that they jumped up and down. However, the Weibo tform waspletely paralyzed and they could not click on the topic at all.

    It was not until half an hourter that the entire tform returned to normal. Theizens, who were filled with curiosity, crazily surged into the topic and realized that there was only a bald director.

    [ Looking at this topic, I thought the two of them were getting married. Are you joking? That back doesn''t mean anything, right? Anyway, I can''t tell if that''s Xia Wanyuan. Maybe this is just a scene for filming. ]

    [ I thought my goddess was married!!! I was so shocked that the watermelon I just bought fell. You have topensate me!!! ]

    [As the little flower of the new era''s mothend, I''m very busy with my studies. Please call me the next time the two of them really get married. Two phones have already been taken away by the teacher. I really can''t afford to hurt this.]

    Just as everyone was discussing and guessing who the two figures were,

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan posted a Weibo post at the same time.

 Chapter 1609 The Eve Of The Wedding

    @ Xia Wanyuan: "May I be like the star, and my husband like the moon."

    @ Jun Shiling: "Shine brightly together every night."

    The two of them had the same photo. In the photo, the two of them were wearing bright red wedding clothes and holding hands. Behind them was endless red silk, dyeing the entire world into a burning atmosphere of joy.

    The two of them stood opposite each other. Jun Shiling''s eyes were deep, and Xia Wanyuan was smiling gently. They stood there quietly, the mostpatible couple in the world.

    [ Help!!! Are they getting married?! CEO Jun is indeed fast!!! ]

    [ Alright, the truth behind the fact that you can''t buy roses in Beijing these few days is already obvious. CEO Jun must have gotten all the flowers to prepare for the wedding. I don''t have anything else to give you. I''ll sponsor one of your flowers. ]

    [ It''s actually a Chinese wedding. I love it. When the timees, can you do a live broadcast? I really want to see Xia Wanyuan in a wedding dress. She will definitely be super beautiful. ]

    ? Just as everyone was celebrating because of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling''s Weibo post, the director of the variety show stood up at the right time and told the audience that their variety show would be broadcasted as usual. However, the content of the show had changed from a few pairs of guests'' daily records to records of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling''s wedding.

    The audience naturally raised their hands and feet in approval of such a change.

    The Jun family''s manor had alreadypletely be a sea of roses. During the warm spring season, the spring breeze brought waves of flowers, making the entire manor as beautiful as a painting.

    In the living room, Xia Wanyuan was trying on wedding clothes. An Rao sat at the side and helped her choose jewelry. "Yuan Yuan, these clothes of yours are so beautiful. They shouldn''t be made in a hurry, right?"

    Although An Rao did not know traditional embroidery techniques and did not know much about all sorts of jewelry, evenymen could tell that Xia Wanyuan''s wedding clothes hid countless universes even in the corner.

    Xia Wanyuan looked down at the bright red wedding suit on her and smiled wistfully. "It''s been many years."<novelnext></novelnext>

    More than ten years ago, Jun Shiling had already gotten someone to secretly prepare wedding clothes. Later on, she left with Jun Shiling, and this unfinished project fell into the hands of the children.

    Strictly speaking, the wedding dress she was wearing had her expectations, Jun Shiling''s love, and the longing of her descendants. In the passage of time, other than being expensive, it had a different meaning for a few years.

    An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan''s gown enviously. "It''s too beautiful."

    Although they had been married for a long time, An Rao''s heart began to stir again. If she had known that a Chinese wedding was so good, she and Bo Xiao would have chosen to hold a Chinese wedding back then.

    At this moment, Bo Xiao was walking in with arge box. With just a nce at An Rao, he knew what she was thinking. "The bridesmaid clothes Sister-inw prepared for you are here. Come and try. Don''t torture me anymore."

    An Rao snorted softly. "Who tortured you?"

    She was just thinking. It was enough to see Xia Wanyuan wearing a Chinese wedding dress. She would not do it herself.

    An Rao put down the jewelry, opened the box, and took a look. She immediately forgot about holding a wedding. The bridesmaid clothes embroidered by heavy industry in the box snatched her attention.

    An Rao picked up her clothes and looked at Xia Wanyuan with starry eyes. "Yuan Yuan, can''t you get married today??"

    Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Bo Xiao scratched the back of An Rao''s head. "What nonsense are you thinking? What kind of child''s y do you think this is??"

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling''s statuses in the world were now important. This wedding was destined to be the focus of the world, so it had to be carefully prepared.

 Chapter 1610 Wedding Venue

    Xia Wanyuan fiddled with the jewelry in her hand and shook her head in amusement. "Actually, I want to hold a simple wedding."

    To her, as long as she had Jun Shiling, children, and two or three good friends, it was enough. However, with her and Jun Shiling''s current positions, it was impossible for them to hold a simple wedding.

    She had never liked this feeling of being involuntary. However, in society, there were always all sorts of helplessness.

    Fortunately, in this life, Jun Shiling was by her side. Although she was asionally helpless, she was willing topromise.

    "How can it be simple?" Bo Xiao''s fox-like eyes revealed a smile. "CEO Jun''s intentions are too obvious. He wants the entire world to know that you married him. He even wants to send an invitation to the ants crawling on the ground."

    Xia Wanyuan''s face heated up from Bo Xiao''s words. "It''s not that exaggerated."

    "Why not? He¡­" Bo Xiao was about to say something when he saw Jun Shiling walking over and immediately swallowed his words. He pulled An Rao over with a naughty smile. "The main character is here. Let''s go out and try on clothes first. You guys chat."

    With that, Bo Xiao hugged An Rao and left the living room.

    Over the past few days, not only had Xia Wanyuan been trying on gowns every day, but so had Jun Shiling. At this moment, he was wearing a dark blue suit, reserved but noble. Even though Xia Wanyuan was already familiar with him, her eyes still shed with obvious amazement when she saw him in this outfit.

    Jun Shiling reached out to Xia Wanyuan. "Get up. I''ll bring you somewhere."

    "Where are we going?"

    Xia Wanyuan put the things aside and held Jun Shiling''s hand. Jun Shiling took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. "A ce I''ve prepared for a long time."

    Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. I stayed with Jun Shiling almost every day. What else did Jun Shiling prepare that I did not know?<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling smiled, then pulled Xia Wanyuan out. The car drove away from the manor and quickly arrived at thergest pceplex in Beijing.

    Xia Wanyuan often passed by here, but she did not notice that the pceplex had already changed greatly. Rednterns were hung high, and red silk fluttered in the wind. Although the outer wall was covered by a curtain, the fragrance of flowers still floated out from the wall.

    An unbelievable thought appeared in Xia Wanyuan''s heart. She looked at Jun Shiling. "Did you change this ce¡­"

    Jun Shiling nodded. "Although it took some effort, the oue was good."

    As thergest and most precious pce group in China now, the Forbidden City was usually only used for exhibitions and would not let individuals upy it at all. However, Jun Shiling had used a lot of connections, and in addition to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s powerful influence, it made the management feel that their wedding would definitely be world-renowned. This would save at least a few years of publicity fees.

    Under all sorts of factors, it finally led to such a good oue.

    "Why did you choose this ce?" Xia Wanyuan did not understand. "Actually, it''s not important where we get married."

    "Because I want to give you the best." Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan''s hand tightly.

    He had thought about many things about the venue of the wedding and finally decided to do it in this pce that symbolized the highest position in ancient times.

    In his heart, only this ce was worthy of Xia Wanyuan.

    Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else, and warmth appeared in her heart. "Then can we go in and take a look now?"

    "No." Jun Shiling reached out and brushed away the hair on Xia Wanyuan''s temples. "You''ll see it tomorrow. Rest well tonight, my bride."

 Chapter 1611 Grand Finale: Extravagant Wedding

    Night fell. The moon was veiled, and with the gentle breeze of the spring breeze, the stars seemed to have the fragrance of peach blossoms.

    In a corner of Beijing, the two of them sat opposite each other in the small courtyard. Steam slowly rose, blocking their gazes.

    "I didn''t expect it to be you." The bottom of the cup touched the stone table with a crisp sound, breaking the silence of the night sky and the silence between the two of them.

    Lin Qingyuan looked across quietly at Lin Qingdai, whom he had ignored all along. Killing intent shed across his eyes, but in the end, he calmed down.

    In the ten years that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had disappeared, he had thought that the Jun family wouldpletely sink. Who would have thought that the young child of the Jun family would barely hold on for so many years? Seeing that he was about to copse, Jun Shiling actually returned.

    Over the years, surpassing the Jun family had almost be an obsession in his heart. Seeing Jun Shiling return, the Jun family improved day by day. Lin Qingyuan threw caution to the wind and prepared to do his best and gamble at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s wedding.

    Who would have thought that at thest moment, his good younger brother would actually destroy everything?

    Being stared at by Lin Qingyuan''s sharp gaze, Lin Qingdai''s expression was calm and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

    Lin Qingdai had always been gentle and schrly. However, at this moment, there was apletely different boldness and determination on his elegant face.

    In fact, there was an indescribable gentleness hidden under his clear eyes.

    Lin Qingyuan was a smart person. The moment he saw that gentleness, all his confusion was instantly answered.

    It was because of Jiang Yun.

    "Do you know? Jiang Yun has always dreamed of a peaceful life." Before Lin Qingyuan could speak, Lin Qingdai began to speak.

    A breeze blew past, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers in the night sky. In a daze, Lin Qingdai seemed to see the youngdy from many years ago.

    From the day he met Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun''s dream was something Lin Qingdai was willing to pursue at all costs.

    Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s return meant that this short peace that hadsted for more than ten years was about to end. What was about toe was a battle that no one could protect themselves.

    Lin Qingdai, this man who was ignored by everyone and relied on Jiang Yun to survive in the eyes of the outside world, quietly disintegrated the entire Lin family, causing this impending battle to end silently.

    "Ha." The truth had been torn apart, and Lin Qingyuan could not be bothered to maintain his calm on the surface. "You used your entire family behind you as a stepping stone for a woman. Can you face the Lin family''s ancestors?"

    Lin Qingdai smiled and looked at Lin Qingyuan quietly. "From the day I was expelled from the Lin family, the Lin family''s ancestors have nothing to do with me."

    With that, Lin Qingdai left, leaving Lin Qingyuan alone.

    The moment Lin Qingdai''s back disappeared at the door, the porcin cup in the courtyard fell to the ground and emitted an ear-piercing sound in the night.

    Hearing the shattering sound from the wall, Lin Qingdai''s face was expressionless. He slowly controlled the wheelchair forward until he left the door and suddenly stopped.

    "Ah Yun, why are you here?" A sincere smile appeared in Lin Qingdai''s eyes as he reached out to Jiang Yun.

    Jiang Yun nced at the courtyard calmly, then walked forward and draped a thin nket over Lin Qingdai. "I saw that it''ste and you weren''t back, so I came to take a look."

    "It''s nothing. A friend from before said that he wanted to visit me. We chatted for a while and lost track of time. I''m sorry." Lin Qingdai held Jiang Yun''s hand and gently stroked it tofort her.

    "Mm." Jiang Yun stood behind Lin Qingdai and pushed the wheelchair slowly forward. "I''m fine, but¡­"

    Jiang Yun stopped halfway through her sentence. Lin Qingdai waited for a while but did not hear anything else. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he heard Jiang Yun speak.

    "I just miss you." Jiang Yun''s voice was very soft, but in the silent night, it smashed into Lin Qingdai''s heart like a thunderp.

    Over the years, they had respected each other and were the most model couple in the eyes of the outside world. Jiang Yun had also be the most perfect wife.

    However, Jiang Yun had never said anything like today.

    After being shocked, Lin Qingdai instantly turned around to look at Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun covered his eyes.

    "Don''t look. Go home first." Jiang Yun''s voice was a little nervous. "It''s cold at night."

    "Okay." The corners of Lin Qingdai''s lips curled up. He slowly turned around and sat down. "It''s indeed quite cold. Let''s go home."

    "Mm." Jiang Yun retracted her hand and supported the wheelchair towards the parking lot.

    The moonlight poured down, dyeing their backs with a peaceful glow¡­

    ...

    The night before the wedding seemed especially long.

    This was already the tenth time Xia Wanyuan could not help but look at the time. She frowned slightly. "Is this watch broken? Why is it only one now?"

    Jun Shiling smiled and hugged Xia Wanyuan. "Nervous?"

    Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. "How is that possible? I''m just looking at the time."

    "Really?" Looking at Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling could not help butugh. "Then let''s go to sleep."

    "I''m not tired." Xia Wanyuan coughed lightly and could not help but look at the time.

    Although she had lived for a few lifetimes, this was the first time she had gotten married. Even though she had been married to Jun Shiling for many years, she could not suppress her anticipation and nervousness.

    She, who had always had a regr schedule, naturally could not sleep.<novelnext></novelnext>

    Jun Shiling did not expose her. He held her hand and walked out the door. "Since you can''t sleep, go and see someone."

    "Who?" Xia Wanyuan was a little curious.

    All the guests had already arrived in Beijing and were properly ced in the hotel. They were only waiting to arrive at the wedding venue tomorrow. Who woulde to the manor in the middle of the night now?

    As Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling out, she ran through it in her mind. Soon, a guess appeared in her heart.

    "Is it¡­" Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her sentence when Jun Shiling stopped. Xia Wanyuan stopped with him. Following Jun Shiling''s gaze, Xia Wanyuan saw the person standing not far away.

    "Sister, long time no see."

    "Xia Yu?" Consistent with Xia Wanyuan''s guess, a smile appeared on her face as she walked towards Xia Yu. "You''re back."

    "Mm." Living in the desert all year round, Xia Yu''s facial features were more tenacious than before. However, when he smiled, he revealed a row of neat white teeth, still filled with youth like many years ago. "Congrattions on the wedding."

    "It''s good that you''re back." Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Yu, who was already a head taller than her. "How long are you back this time? Let''s have a good gathering."

    "A month''s leave." In front of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu was always very dependent. "I can stay in the manor the whole time."

    "Okay." Seeing the fatigue on Xia Yu''s face, Xia Wanyuan thought that he must havee here the moment hended and must be tired now. "Go and rest first. We''ll talk tomorrow."

    "Okay." After more than twenty hours of running around, Xia Yu was indeed exhausted. He nodded and bade farewell to Xia Wanyuan before going to the guest room to rest.

    After Xia Yu left, Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan over and whispered into her ear, "I''m afraid you can''t catch up with others tomorrow."

    "Mm?"

    "After all, you''re my bride in the day and at night."

    Xia Wanyuan reacted for a second and finally realized what Jun Shiling was saying. She nced at Jun Shiling angrily. "I''m going to sleep."

    "Mm." Jun Shiling did not continue to tease Xia Wanyuan this time and quietly followed her back to the bedroom.

    However, just as Xia Wanyuan was already lying on the bed and closing her eyes to sleep, Jun Shiling suddenly said faintly, "Madam, you do have to rest well. After all, you probably won''t be able to sleep tomorrow night."

    Xia Wanyuan''s eyes were still closed, as if she had already fallen asleep. However, the dazzling red hue gradually spread from her neck to her face.

    Jun Shiling stood at the side and watched quietly, his eyes filled with smiles.

    He estimated in his heart that Xia Wanyuan was about to explode. A second before Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, he quicklyy beside her and turned off the light. "Alright, sleep. It''ste."

    "You¡­" Xia Wanyuan had just opened her mouth when Jun Shiling hugged her. "I was wrong, Madam. Goodnight."

    Two secondster, Xia Wanyuan''s voice sounded in the night.

    "Hmph."

    Hearing Xia Wanyuan''s soft snort, Jun Shilingughed. He lowered his head and gently kissed Xia Wanyuan. Sensing Xia Wanyuan''s hug, the smile on Jun Shiling''s face widened.

    Not long after, the room fellpletely silent. Only beautiful dreams flowed quietly.

    ...

    The next day, the sky had just lit up when Beijing, which had been silent the entire night, woke up.

    The people who woke up in the morning passed by the pce standing in the center of Beijing and were very surprised to discover that the barrier outside had been removed at some point, revealing the red silk that fluttered in the sky.

    Spring in Beijing was originally filled with colorful flowers. However, at this moment, the bustling world was covered in red.

    The two sides of the road were filled with roses that stretched as far as the eye could see. A faint fragrance spread between the sky and the earth.

    Just as everyone was discussing this magical scene in surprise, someone suddenly eximed, "Look!"

    Everyone looked over. The pce door was slowly pushed open, and a wide red carpet spread from the main hall to the door. The red carpet was filled with red roses, and the edges of the petals were carefully iid with gold, shining in the morning sunlight.

    "Oh my god, which family is so generous in filming? This prop is too luxurious."

    "What filming? Is there no Inte at your house? Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are getting married today. This should be a wedding venue."

    "Wedding?" Hearing the person beside him say this, the passerby was shocked. "Wedding here? How is that possible? Rich people have special privileges?"

    "Brother, these words don''t sound good. It''s true that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are rich, but among so many rich people, only the two of them can hold a wedding here. With their contributions, it''s not too much to do anything."

    Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were passionate about charity. After the two of them disappeared for more than ten years, the Jun Corporation would take out a huge sum of money every year to do charity and pray for the two of them.

    Hence, in the hearts of ordinary people, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had an extremely good reputation. Holding a wedding in this pce, which usually seemed like a fantasy, became eptable to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    The originally shocked crowd did not ask further after hearing the exnation. Instead, they focused their attention on this wedding.

    "This is the first time I''ve seen such a scene. Even the outside is so beautiful. How beautiful must the inside be?"

    However, no matter how rich everyone''s imagination was, they did not expect this wedding to be so grand and leave behind so many interesting legends for future generations.

 Chapter 1612 Love Forever

    As time passed bit by bit, the green and white in the sky were gradually dyed by the golden light. The blue sky was like silk, making the golden zed tiles look even more elegant.

    On the wide road, luxury cars flowed endlessly. Helicopters circled in the sky. The usually solemn pce was extremely lively today.

    There were bodyguards on both sides of the road, so passers-by could only watch from afar and size up the pce curiously. Arge number of people were gathered on both sides of the road, and the already congested road became even more difficult to move.

    "Wow, I can understand marriage, but it''s too much to waste so much manpower and resources and cause inconvenience to us ordinary people. What kind of person is she? She''s really¡­"

    Before the passerby could finishining, the bodyguards suddenly stepped forward, took out red packets, and began to distribute them. "Today is CEO Jun and CEO Xia''s wedding. I''m sorry for affecting everyone''s lives. CEO Xia instructed us to give everyone red packets."

    With that, the bodyguards stuffed the red packets into the hands of the passers-by one by one. Everyone opened the red packets and was immediately shocked.

    "So much?!"

    "Not only are there red packets, but CEO Xia also said to thank everyone for your support, after the wedding today, everyone can participate in the lucky draw on her Weibo. There are a total of a million copies. The prizes are all sorts of goods produced by the Xia Corporation."

    After the bodyguards finished speaking, the onlookers were no longer in the mood toin. They gave their blessings one after another, looking forward to the lucky draw after the wedding.

    After receiving the red packets, everyone stood by the roadside with the flowers and waited for the wedding convoy to arrive to watch this huge wedding up close.

    Time advanced bit by bit. There were more and more onlookers on both sides of the road, and the anticipation in the wait increased. However, at the end of the road, there was no sign of the wedding car.

    Just as everyone was guessing if something unexpected had happened, Weibo was already flooded with photos and videos of the Dragon Phoenix Carriage.

    It turned out that nothing unexpected had happened at the wedding. It was just that before entering the pce, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan took the Dragon Phoenix Carriage and circled the inner city.

    Although it was no longer the Great Xia Dynasty, Jun Shiling still restored the marriage etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty to the greatest extent. The Dragon Phoenix Carriage pulled by sixteen expensive white horses was all decorated with gems that shone under the sunlight.

    There were countless flowers piled around the carriage. The phantom gauze blocked the scene inside the carriage, but through the shadowy gauze, everyone could still see a pair of elegant figures.

    A breeze blew past, and a corner of the gauze curtain parted. One could vaguely see Xia Wanyuan leaning on Jun Shiling''s shoulder. The two of them looked at each other, and it was as if time had quietened down around them.

    [ Help, why do I feel like I''ve teleported to ancient times? It''s so beautiful. As expected, Chinese weddings are the best. ]

    [ What''s wrong with this wind? I can''t see Xia Wanyuan''s face. I really want to see her wearing a Chinese wedding dress. She must be extremely beautiful. ]

    [ You''re all paying attention to people, but I''m the only one paying attention to that car. It looks so expensive. I really want to touch the gem on it. Boohoo, will I have a chance in this life? ]

    The entire world was celebrating for Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, but at this moment, the carriage was a space of its own.

    "Are you tired? Drink some tea." Jun Shiling poured a cup of hot tea for Xia Wanyuan and thoughtfully handed it to her.

    "I''m not thirsty." Xia Wanyuan shook her head and lifted the bead curtain on the phoenix crown to look outside.

    The spring breeze carried the warmth of the sunlight as it streaked across the road. It shook the willow branches and blew the flying petals to the entrance of the alley, spreading the ground golden.

    Xia Wanyuan recalled that many years ago, when she first arrived in this era, it was also spring. She took this road in the car.

    "What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been looking outside, Jun Shiling tightened his grip on her hand.

    "Pretty good." Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and looked at the handsome man in front of her with a smile in her eyes.

    "What''s good?" Jun Shiling was slightly puzzled.

    "Everything is pretty good." The corners of Xia Wanyuan''s lips curled up slightly as she took the initiative to hug Jun Shiling''s waist.

    It was quite good to meet him for the first time and like him, and now they were growing old together.

    The beauty threw herself into his arms. Jun Shiling could not be bothered to think about what Xia Wanyuan meant anymore. He raised his hand and hugged Xia Wanyuan back, gently touching her hair. "Sleep for a while. We''ll be there in half an hour. I''ll call youter."

    When she got into the carriage, Xia Wanyuan was clearly still very nervous. However, now that she was in Jun Shiling''s arms, all her emotions were relieved. She nodded and closed her eyes to rest.

    While Xia Wanyuan was asleep, the carriage followed the nned route and patrolled the entire inner city, finally stopping at the entrance of the pce.

    At this moment, arge number of people had already gathered at the entrance of the pce. The people who had been invited to this wedding were all people who could shake this with a stomp of their feet.

    Those characters that one could only asionally see on television, those forces that might not be gathered for a hundred years, were now connected because of a wedding.

    No matter how they used to stand opposite each other, at least at this moment, everyone was here for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    Under everyone''s expectant gazes, the curtain was lifted and a pair of peerless figures finally appeared.

    Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a gorgeous embroidered phoenix wedding dress. The long skirt was decorated with dragons and phoenixes. The golden threads reflected the sunlight, making the entire phoenix dress shine, making her look like a fairy concubine. Even though her face was covered by the phoenix cor bead curtain, it could not hide her noble elegance.

    Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan''s hand and stepped onto the red carpet. Amidst the flowers and blessings that filled the sky, he slowly walked towards the pce.<novelnext></novelnext>

    As the two of them slowly walked forward, three-dimensional 3D images began to appear on both sides of the red carpet. On them were all sorts of daily scenes left behind by Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

    The red carpet under their feet changed into three thousand flowers. Dragons and phoenixes soared in the sky, and the constantly surging flowers sent the two of them to the ceremonial stage.

    Old Master Jun sat in front in a straight suit and looked at his grandson and granddaughter-inw with a smile on his face. His eyes were filled with relief. "It hasn''t been easy for you toe this far. You have to cherish each other in the future. In the future, the Jun family will rely on the two of you to support it."

    "Don''t worry, Grandpa," Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan replied at the same time.

    "Good, good, good." Old Master Jun nodded repeatedly. He looked at Xia Wanyuan and recalled what Old Priest Zhang had once said. "A match made in heaven, a golden fate."

    Hearing Old Master Jun''s words, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan looked at each other and smiled.

    After receiving Old Master Jun''s blessings, the two of them bowed to the heavens and earth ording to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty. Under the witness of the world, theypleted thiste wedding.

    Five-colored fireworks exploded in the sky, and countless petals fell from the sky. The special effects team kept changing the scene of the entire wedding venue. Thenterns bloomed around the guests, revealing the dazzling jewelry. These were all gifts for the guests.

    On the ceremonial stage, Xia Wanyuan, who had finished bowing to the world, should have left with Jun Shiling, but after turning around and taking two steps, she stopped.

    Jun Shiling seemed to know what she was thinking and stopped with her.

    Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked down the ceremonial stage.

    An Rao seemed to have sensed Xia Wanyuan''s gaze. Even though she was wearing ten centimeters of high heels, she still jumped up and waved at Xia Wanyuan excitedly. Bo Xiao stood beside An Rao and looked at her dotingly, just like when they first met.

    Xia Yu was wearing a suit and holding a rose in his hand, deep in thought. Xia Wanyuan had learned about Xia Yu''s entanglement with the girl from the Lin family from Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan had wanted to ask, but in the end, she did not ask anything. Xia Yu had already grown up. She believed that Xia Yu could choose the path that was most suitable for him.

    The children gathered together. The smiles on their faces were like sunflowers dripping in the morning, carrying endless vitality and endless longing for the future.

    Some distance away from the ceremonial stage stood Xuan Sheng. He was wearing a straight suit. Compared to the arrogance when they first met, the current Xuan Sheng was like a jade that had been nurtured in the Buddha''s light for many years. He was quiet and peaceful. He looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly with a smile in his eyes.

    An Lin brought An Luo to the wedding. Now, An Lin had already handed the entire family to An Luo. After more than ten years of growth, An Luo had already be a qualified head of the family. However, in front of An Lin, An Luo would always maintain his dependence.

    Back then, Chu Yi, who had single-handedly caused Xia Wanyuan to leave the modern world, had alsoe. Compared to ten years ago, the current Chu Yi had a hint of restrained sadness, although this emotion should not have appeared on Chu Yi.

    ..........

    "Bride, if you look at other men, I''ll be jealous." After some time, Jun Shiling''s smiling voice suddenly sounded in Xia Wanyuan''s ear.

    She finally came back to her senses. The hurried nce just now had actually distracted her.

    Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and lowered the bead curtain again. Her red lips parted slightly. "Let''s go."

    Time would always change many things. Nothing was unchanging.

    As long as everyone was around, that was enough.

    Furthermore,

    Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling, who was holding her hand as they walked forward, and warmth appeared in her heart. Furthermore, no matter what the future held, she firmly believed that Jun Shiling would apany her.

    As if they were telepathic, Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. His deep eyes were filled with Xia Wanyuan. "I''ll always be here and love you forever."

    "I''m here too, I will love you forever."

    ........

    A long, long timeter, in a primary school in a remote town, the students were learning from people who had made outstanding contributions in China''s history.

    There were many familiar big shots in the books, but only two attracted the students'' attention.

    "Teacher, why are the introductions of others all about physicists and literature? Only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are different. Jun Shiling''s introduction is Xia Wanyuan''s husband, and Xia Wanyuan''s introduction Jun Shiling''s wife. How strange."

    This was not the first time he had heard such a question. Almost every student would ask such a question. The teacher adjusted his spectacles and smiled.

    "They asked for this themselves. Xia Wanyuan''s life can be described as magnificent. She''s the most outstanding literary schr in Chinese history, a tenured professor at Qing University, a famous musician, historian, diplomat, and the head of the Xiafeng Group. She even led the Chinese team to win many gold medals at the Olympics. She made countless contributions.

    However, in the end, Xia Wanyuan asked her descendants to only leave the title ''Jun Shiling''s wife'' as the summary of her life."

    The students listened curiously to the teacher tell Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan''s widely circted stories and asked in confusion.

    "Teacher, is this love?"

    "Yes, time changes but lovests."
